Captain G. R. Mundy, to meet whom a select party of naval officers was invited. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Amphion, 34, is taking in her tanks and sea stores. The Diligence naval transport arrived here late on Tues day evening from Plymouth, and having discharged a few stores for the dockyard, proceeded on her way to W colwich, in tow of her Majesty's steam -tug vessel African. The Clara Jane, Cheeseaan master, from Swansea, laden with coals for the use of the steam squadron at this port, arrived here late on Tuesday evening, having been five weeks on her passage, during which she experienced much bad weather, and was obliged to put into Plymouth, in conse aced uence of being short of provisions. She is to be pl l o ngside her Majesty' s shi p Fortitude, the coal-deg Ot for a steamers at this port, for the purpose of discharging part of her cargo. The brig George Andreas, Black mas ter, from Newcastle, arr ived here with coals for the dockyard, on the evening of the 23th ult., and has been taken into the basin to discharge her cargo. She is to be worked out at the low charge of id. per ton per man, and will employ four coal-whippers. Many other gangs are now offering to work at the same rats on board all ships employed on service connected with her Majesty's dockyard here. The brig Thetis, of South Shields, passed by here on Tues day, en route to Rochester. WooLwicu, APRIL I.—The Diligence store-ship, arrived at Woolwich to -day. The North Star, C omm ander Pullen, having taken on board her stores at Deptford for the Arctic expedition, was brought down to Woolwich to-day to be made ready to ac company the other vessels of the squadron, under Captain Sir Edward Belcher, C.B.,in their voyage to the Arctic regions. nEg.

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1852. of a dilapidated Ministry might, on being recognised and acted upon, have been viewed as suggestive of a similar effort in regard to the unsightly pile of masonry connecting at Lambeth the river banks of Surrey and Middle- E ex. After relieving the country of the old Whig Cabinet, the new advisers of the SOVEREIGN might not inappropriately relieve the Thames of old Westminster-bridge—erecting in the place of the latter a more symmetrical structure, as they had con structed in lieu of the former a more definite and comprehensible Government. But no—on the Ist of April, appropriately enough—it was simultaneosly announced that the consent of Lord J. MANNERS was withheld from any measure such as the one suggested by the Member for the University of Oxford, and the ballads of Lord JOHN MANNERS were announced to be again on sale at the RIVINGTONS. The archi tectural improvements of the metropolis would seem to have been added to that " wealth and commerce," to those "laws" and to that "learning," which the laureate of Young England wished to behold sacri ficed to the Moloch of " nobilitie." It matters nothing that the "silent highway," the principal path for the traffic of the wealthiest capital in Europe, should still be disfigured by the most dis graced structure in the shape of a bridge that could well be imagined ; it matters not that that structure was declared to be in a dangerous state six years ago, and that the demand for its destruction was two ses sions afterwards pronounced to be imperative—the carrying out of the suggestions made by the last Westminster-bridge Commission involved the neces sity of a somewhat inconvenient exertion to some of the members of the new Cabinet, and therefore this postponement! All that could last evening be extorted from the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests was the production of a note relating to the subject under discussion! Lord JOHN MANNERS consented to lay upon the table of the House of Commons the letter referring to the stability of the present bridge, written by—a gentle man whose name must be regarded as peculiarly un lucky under the circumstances—WALKEß. Although it were superfluous and little less than a waste of time, under the peculiarity of the case, at present to enter into any detailed examination of the arguments contained in the report of the Westminster. bridge Commission of 1851, it may still be observed, as bearing somewhat forcibly at this moment upon the question here under consideration, that the document referred to closes with the seven subjoined resolu tions, and these resolutions, moreover, let it be re mernbered, agreed to unanimously : " I. That the present bridge should be used as a temporary brV go until a new bridge shall have been C struc Lt. d. " 2. That a new bridge should ba constructed ad joining, or as noes as poslible, to the present bri;:ge on Om north side, that is, lower down the river. 3. That the new bridge shank' not be less than CO fat in width, including the footwe.p. " 4. That it bo constructed of iron, with stone piers. " 5. That it consist of no more thmi five arches. " 6. Ti:at the height of headway (d the centre arch aboro Trinity dsturn be not less than 25ft. Gin. " 7. That it is desirable that no time should be lost in making preparation for the commencement of the work." Whether the new structure (►hat, we must still hope, is "to b,") should be built upon the model of the locidge at Southwark, or whether, instead of being east-iroo, it should be granite, built in a manner likely to harmonize with the elaborated gothic pile of the; new Houses of Parliament, is a question which admits rather largely, of course, of argu ment, End might not unreasonably be reserved for a little further consideration. But whether active measures should or should not be adopted, with a view to remove the existing bridge and to substitute a new one in a contiguous situation, can scarcely admit any doubt whatever, after that final resolution of the Commissioners, to the ef fect " that it is desirable no time should b e l o st in making preparation for the com mencement of the wore—the work of removal and reconstruction. In defiance of which resolution the matter bas again been referred to another session by the Commissioners of Works, speaking in the name of no Government. When is this deplorable system of procrastination to terminate? When is the country to be haunted no longer by that word of " damning iteration"—postponement, postponement, postponement? There is, after all, to be no further inquiry into the case of Harwich. The House of Commons last night, after a prolonged di!cussion, decided against the proposed investigation, and ignored the bill of in dictment that had been preferred against that rather notorious constituency. Hear this, ye BLAGGS and EDWARDSES, and rrjoice !—uplift your voices in exul tation, your honourable occupation is not altogether gone ! It is true that ye may no longer have the op portunity of exercising your skill and ingenuity in the scene of your former lebours ; but there are many St. Albanses in the field, and many zealous labourers in the cause in which ye have already signalised yourselves, and whose future doings may cast your quondam exploits into the shade. What encouragement will the majority of 42 afford to these exemplary gentlemen in their laudable vocations! The golden key, or some equally significant token may again be hung out. The House of Commons has extended the shield of its protection over a constituency where not only the electioneer ing proceedings have been most loudly and generally complained of, but where the existence of habitual bribery and corruption has rested on something more than mere suspicion. It was a decision worthy of those who rejected the ballot, who refused to protect the voter against intimidation, or to place him in a position where the sale of his vote would be all but impracticable. It would almost seem as if the Right Hon. and lion. Gentlemen conceived that these pra ctices formed an essential part of the British Con stitution, and that whenever they were complet e ly abolished the sun o f E n g l a n d's glory would be set for ever. The division cf last night, combined with that of Tu:sday ev ening on Mr. HENRY BERKE LEY ' S m o ti on , Rill unq uestionably exercise consider able influence on the approaching elections, It will prove that an occasional scapegoat is all that is required—that if a St. Albans should be convicted, a Harwich would be suffered to escape m comparative i withpsn ay. After all, the position of the Rouse towards the inculpated borough is of rather an anomalou s writ for a new character. It re fuses to issue the election in place of that which had been declared null a character a degree of guilt, but refuses to institute a n y searching a view either t o h a ee a r a ta did. It thus a ssumes the exis tence i vo of at least ve thereon, inciuiry r itnoth°avtehatthge uilt guilt, with pro per measures founded it clearly established , of the e goes electors ev even n exonerate d further f t r h o s i n o s o inexorable serious I d ea charge. RHADA MANTHUS. He first punished and then heard the complaint; but the pop u l ar branch the ° f and Imperial Legislature punishes whil e it refusese hearin g . We can scarcely wonder at th e step takenby Gentleman the Member for Finsbury, the Hon. ' w h o, although a strenuous advocate for i nqu i ry, y et gave when that inquiry was rejected, th at he notice, that the SPEAKRR should forth w ith issue would move his for the election of a burgess for th e borough of Warrant wich. We doubt not that the Hon. Gentleman ilar: will obtain a majority, and that those who have delibe rately refused inquiry will assist in carrying what can only be considered as an act of amnesty for all past offences of the electors and representatives of the borough of Harwich. Westminster -bridge is doomed for yet another twelvmonth to disfigure the Thames, and to contrast with its dilapidated ugliness the architectural beauty of the new Houses of Parliament. The anticipated discussion of last evening ended in nothing more definite than the announcement of a yet longer pro crastination. This is deeply to be regretted, seeing that, no less than six years sgo, the old bridge was d ec l are d to be dangerous, by a Committee ap pointed to inquire into the supposed necessity for its removal. T sessions afterwards the same opinion WAS pronounced by another Upon a yet snore careful investigation. In 1851, moreover, en elaborate report pointing out the exi gency (1- f some improvement in this direction, was formally submitted to the Lords Commissioners of her liesisszx's Treasury for their consideration. That document—given in extenso elsewhere in our impression of this evening - expl-incd more fully than had hitherto been attempted the im perative demand existing for an interference in this matter on the part of her MAJESTY'S Governm ent. Unhappily, after all these encouraging and ener get ic preparations, the subject has been once more set aside as one admit ting of furt her dela y s to 'alit the convenie nce o f the Administration. The rAcent substitutio n ° of Lord DERBY'S Cabinet for the Cabinet o f L cra JOHN RUSSELL is put forward as tha excuse for this conjecture the it w ould be di ffi cult to "ni the connexion that ca:i poss ibly exist bet ween the a lterations of party, erel toe temporary pres ervat i on of the old bridge at Westminster. One might, on the contrary, have in:Tined, not unreasonably, that the necessity recent:7 existing for the removal " What is a pound ?" was a question triumphantly asked by the late Sir ROBERT PEEL, and repeated, usque ad nauseam, by his followers, the plutocrats and bullionists. The Right Honourable Baronet defined the meaning of the term to be "neither more nor less than a definite quantity of gold, with a mark upon it to determine its weight and fineness." Interested parties, those who were living in idleness upon the fat of the land, and preying upon the bowels of industry, accepted the interpretation with joy, and considered the party by whom it was put forward as " a DANIEL come to Judgment." It was at that period the interest of the drones in the national hive, to insist on the letter while disre garding the spirit of their contracts. They seemed to forget, or rather to misapply, the principle enun ciated by JoILN LOCKE, that "Men in their bargain s contract not for denominations or sounds, but for the intrinsic value." If this doctrine had been observed it would follow, es a matter of course, that when gold becomes unduly appreciated, so that the 5 dwts. 8 grs., which were called "a pound," possessed double , " the purchasing power" previously belonging thereto, the quantity of bullion elould ha reduced, so as to make the debtor liable for the same intrinsic value only in discharge of his obligation that, the same nominal amount possessed at the time when it was contracted. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. TLe Senate held no eitting on Tuesday; and is not to meet again More Saturday next. In the Legislative body, M. BILLAULT, the Presi dent, took the chair at three o'clock. The report of the proceedings of the day before was read over and adopted. The rest of the chy was taken up with the verification of the returns sent in from the late elections, and the deputies of 28 departments were declared to be duly nominated members of the Legislative body. Before the sitting the deputies met in their bureaux, when the following wore named Presidents and Secretaries:-Ist Bureau —M. Letcai ne (Oi se ) , N.

This vier, however, was earnestly protested against at the time by the bullionists. Gold was scarce and could not be then provided in sufficient quantities to meet the wants and exigencies of our rapidly in creasing population and commerce. The value of the pound, convertible on demand into 123 grains of ster ling gold, was much more than that of the inconvertible bank-note, to which seven or eight shillings should be added in order to obtain a gold coin purporting to be of the same value. Those, then, who advanced paper re quired to be paid in gold, end insisted that their de mands could only be satisfied by the delivery for each pound of 5 dwts. and 3 gra. of gold, and nothing more or less. The Moniteur publishes in extenso the speech of the PRESIDENT of the Senate on the opening of the As sembly.. The journals of the departments give the following Prefects on the 29th ult., by the Mi n i ster of the In terior of the tel egraphic dispatch sent to the atesritohre: It was by such arguments that the chains of the I debtors were double rivetted, and the quantity of labour necessary to satisfy the public taxes or pri vate claims materially increased. In vain did mo netary reformers protest against the Act of 1819, and the supplemental measure of 1844, which appeared es sential to the due carrying out of the principle. Their remonstrances were received either with care less apathy or gross contumely. The later measure, which not only continued the necessity of paying in gold debts contracted in paper, but created an artificia scarcity of the precious metal by requiring that a large amount should be locked up in the coffers of the Bank, lying idle and unproductive, when its active circulation would be productive of the most beneficial results, was lauded as the per fection of human wisdom. In vain did the commer cial crisis of 1847 arise. It was ascribed to every cause bat the true. We heard of overtrading, of commercial imprudence, and mercantile delinquencies. In vain was the well-considered report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords—it was totally disregarded. In vain was the powerful and convincing testimony of the many unim peachable witnesses whose evidence was taken before the carefully selected Committee of the House of Commons—the obnoxious law was maintained] in all its strirgency, and no modification or alteration would he heard of. The moneyocracy should still keep their holds on the necks of the industrious classes, cramping their exertions and paralysing their energies. " Monsieur le Prefet,—The installation of the Great Bodies of the State took place to-day at the Tuileries. The speech of the Prince President produced a profound impres sion. He declared he would net ask the people to establish the Empire unless the hostility of parties forced him to it. The Senate and the Legislative B o d y received him with marks of lively sympathy. Th e P r i nce returned at two o'clock to the Elyses in an open carriage, in the midst of the acclamations of an immense crowd."

It was said that the King of P RusslA. was to pass some weeks there. The Second Chamber of Prussia., i 3 the sitting of the 25th ult., voted the budget for 1832, which estimates the receipts at 97,000,021 thalers, and the expenses, ordi nary and extraordiLsry, at 99434,731 thalers.

But PROVIDENCE vouchsafed the relief to the suf fering people which man refused. The almost mi raculous discoveries of gold in California and Australia were brought to light. Individual miners, w.:.rking without suitable tools or combined effortA, obtained almost fabulous wealth, which found its way not only to this country, where there bas been, in consequence, an increase of at least 20 per cent. to the circulating medium, but also to almost every other nation in the world. Formerly, when gold was abundant in England, it was scarce in Americl, and vice verse. Different nations were trying to obtain sufficient for their own wants, utterly careless as to the effects on other countries. They were scrambling with one another, like the children described by LOCKE as " pulling at the scanty coverlet." But now there is enough for all. It does not follow that because there is high-water in Threadneedle-street, there must be a deficiency in Wall-street, or that London is sup plied at the expense of Paris. Everything, too, pro. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As one of your numerous staunch advocates, please to allow rne, an old officer, to make my appear ance on your quartar-d ee k, t o summons the whole crew of her Majesty' s Royal Navy to give three hearty cheers for our naval First Lord a nd for the comprised honour of Old England and.the Bridal navy, since whatever other consequences may resu l t from t h e l a t e politiell gale—and I fear that w i t h respect to ques tions of the first import ance:we shall still b e l e f t far in t h e rear o f the requirements of the age, — n evert h e l ess we may h a il with rejoicing the change in the atmosphere of the Admiralty, a most re• quired yet almost hopeless event. And truly what en arbitraryand g ross i nsult to the nav y h as b een t h e placing of a landsman in first a uthority at the Admiralty; what a barefaced monopo l y of all the patronage, for the purpore of maki ng i t su b serv i en t to party interests—the First Lord and t h e patronag e changing with every change of Ministry; the patronage of the navy system itselt made a sc ram bl e f or party strife. Al so , this piecing of a civilian in supreme authority at the Ad miralty is little better than placing a mere landsman at the helm of a ship, requiring a pilot to be standing at his elbow to diret every mo v eme nt, no w to this side, now to the other. What a ridiculous farce! For myself and for the navy, I deeply resent this forced lowering of our topsails to an empty stranger, and therefore gladly hail the Derby deed; and it is with excited feelings of regret that I find some naval officers advocates of the existing system, alleging the objection that an admiral has so many followers; but surely not a tithe part so many as the never-ending obligations of an individual, placed in power purposely to serve an overruling state party, for should the claimant not happen to be on the right side, what chance has be? Witness the many deserving officers whose heads have been stepped over by juniors of half their standing. Moreover p atronage, great i n consequence as I view it, is yet by no means the ma i n point; country stands prominently fi rst, absolutely re quiring a long experienced and di st i nguished profes sional character, competent to a ri g h t d i rect i on o f our important naval power in all its b ear i ngs. To imag i ne a flag officer to be less scrupulous than a civilian to the general and right direction of the naval patronage, is to suppose there aro admirals in the service who have no proper regard for the honour a n d consequence o f t h e navy. But where is such a man to b e found? T o my a pprehension those officers who argue for placing them selves under r. landsman are those who d o not show a proper regard for the honour and welfare of their pro fession, and I would . suggest precaution lest they un wittingly strand their own cable. Th e patent abuse to which I point, may . be considered as being singularly marked by the sppointme . nt . of an army officer to pre side at the Admiralty, a distinct service. But mortify ing as this may have . been felt,. it i s quite obvious that the situation than a mere landsman, noble though . he ono of our brethren in arms is much more competent to may be, but who probably may never have been christ ened with the spray of salt water, and never saw a cannon fired in anger , p oss ibly may and wh o very not have marine breeding enoegh i to steer a b oa t across the river Thames, without such incessant and unscientific tos and fios of the rudder, as would figure out such a vermicular wake as would mak e the presumptuous wight the laughing stock of the m ultitudes a ssem bled on each bank to witness the am using essay. Fancy, too, a mere landsman perambulating our d oc k yards to surve y th e building of our ships, and to inspect the quality and quantity of our naval stores; %e h e - s were it not that he moves screened by an assemblag e o f nav al insignia the dockyard mates would absolutelyla u g h t hi m scorn. To such indignity as I have been considering tho army would not submit . for a day; h onour would immed i ately call up an angry !plug !hrougbout the entire camp, and I do greatly admire this esprit du cors t h o ugh it con stitutes a contrast very disad van tageous' to the existing crushed spirit of the navy. vy : Alas! our c on dition too much resembles that of the victim under t h e l aw , who by long endured and hopeless misery hc --comes at length but little sensible of the weight and disgrace of his chains. It would be highly diverting to see how our brave and justly honoured Duke would eye a civilian strutting about and assuming all authority at the Horse Guards; I opine he would be forthwith marched out at double quit time, the movement, too, probably accelerated by a well directed stimulus, raises a steady increase, and we shall be much disappointed if even the calumniated and well abused gold companies do not produce results that will astonish even the most sanguine shareholders. The question, then, what will be the effect of the gold di7coveries in California and Australia, and the increased activity in New Granada and other auriferous districts? must be considered, and that speedily. It is more than probable that the propo sition for national notes and taxation paper would not now be so contumeliously rejected as of yore ; that " worthless rags" might be more favour ably received by butchers and bakers than in the olden time. On this point we would invite attention to a com munication which will be found in another part of this day's impression, in which the question is very ably argued. 'We must, however, declare that the interests of the debtors must be attended to in any change that may take place, and that as no allowanc e was made to the tax-payers during the monetary crisis, none can now be claimed by tax consumers in consequence of the superabundance of bullion. The matter is one of deep and vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of the country, and it should receive that calm and attentive consideration which it so eminently merits, so that an equitable conclusion maybe arrived at, in which the interests of the indus trious classes will not be disregarded, but an equal measure of justice rendered to all without exception A characteristic letter, addressed to ourselves by " A Flag Officer," will be found in another column : and its insertion affords us pleasure, yielding evidence as it does that the profession regards with satisfac tio... the recent appointment to the bead of the Ad miralty of his Grace the Duke of NORTUUMBEB. LAND. The remarks made by our esteemed corres pondent upon the folly of subjecting the maritime service to the management of a civilian are deserving, we co nce i ve, o f very ser i ous cons id era ti on 1 end, happily, we are sanguine that the nations; experiences of late will to a very considerable extent deter any future Prime Minister from appointing as First Lord of the Admiralty any administrator who has not qualified himself for the post by his personal services on those waves which, according to the national verses of the poet of the " Seasons," are ruled by Britannia. ALABAMA! (From Eliza Cook's Journal) [There is a tradition that a tribe of Indians, fleeing from an enemy through the forests of the south-west, reached a noble river, flowing through a beautiful country, when the chieftain of the band struck his tent-pole into the ground, exclaiming, " Alabama ! Alabama!" signifying " H ere we rest! here we rest!"] The whole wide world is but the same, Tracked by those foemen, Care and Grief, While every human hope would claim The spot that cheered the Indian chief. Yet where is that Elysian tide Which saved the warriors of the West? Where can we find the river's side Where mortal fears say " Here we rest ?" We often think that gold—bard gold, Will form the spot of dreamy joy, But all we get, and all we hold, Brings something with it of alloy. Good dces not always mate with Gain, And wearied brow or cheerless breast, Bends o'er a golden stream in vain, Seeking the sweet words " Here we rest!" We put our trust in robe or crown— In ribbon band or jewelled star; Such things may gleam in Fortune's dream, But dazzle most when seen afar. Ambition's temple rarely yet Let in a well-contented guest— Some spoil unwon, some deed undone, Will choke the soft words, " Here we rest!" Some place their faith in safer creed — The wise, the God-directed few, Who think a heart is what we need To yield the peace that's pure and true; And happy they who seek and find A shelter in a kindred breast, And, leaving foes and fears behind, rest I" Say o H w er i e ll On sculptur ed brass or marble wall, we Go S " Al a b a ma" still The Indian's carveto some Go edpeiatrapohnse,w,h, with the fittest voice of a l l. Speaks enough I ask no more than sod To make the grasshopper a nest, And that a stone bear but this one— This only record — " Here we rest ! , ELIZA Coot.

The strike of the shipwrights belonging to th e yards at Hylton - on -th e -Wear terminated on Saturday, having lasted 20 weeks. The masters and men have . co me a compromise—the men to withdraw their obnoxpus rule prohibiting more than one borer being employed in a yard ; th e masters promising that in this department they will give the preference to aged shipwrights. As the men might h ave been in fu ll employ ment during the whole of the period mentioned, a fearful amount of money has been wasted, they h av i ng to concede the principal point in dispute at last. "Just in the place Where h onour 's lodg'd, As wise philosoph ers have jade)." I feel assured there is not an admiral in the service who would consent to place himself , , .: in a situation at once so invidious and insulting , as upon. I imagine a naval flag waving in authority at the Horse Guards; surely the that w hich I have remarked weather-beaten veteran per ambulating tho forts and inspecting- the military stores would never venture to look behind him, aware of the derision and contempt wb; relieve upon his gallant retinue would be standing in alto crimsoned to the colour garbs. No, the of their martial veteran tar would indeed b e as a fish out of water, gasping and convulsed it -3' the effect of the unnatural retinue, faces too flushed and element in which he was placed. For the navy let the offensive conception be annihilated. Now, concerning this Admiralty affair, and including the reasons for it, there is a vast deal more to be said, rivalling if not sur passing the high reach o f intellect which I have endea voured to bring down withi n th e reach of common sense, but having already sp un out 80 long a yarn , I must ree l tip and present my article. this In offering merino essay, I have sought to vindi cate and uphold the honour of the British navy, and for my encouragement I b ear in advocacy t h e vo i ce o f our idolivd national guardian; B r i tan nia calls aloud for justice and honou r d ue, for Britannia ru l es t h e waves, the glory of her sce p tre; and regarding t h e state st i gma fixed upon her f avour i te sons of the ocean, s h e stands indignant, and in proud resentment turns the wilful and disgracing aberration ov er as a choice article for our witty and sprightly Punch .'

ACCIDENT TO THE DOVER EXPRESS TRAlN.—A D accident of a rath er alarming c h arac ter, but happily unat tended by the slightest personal injury to the passengers, occurred yesterday morning to the express train, which leaves Dover at eight n.m. While passing the Edenbridge station the carriages ran off the rails, but the driver was fortunately able to stop the train almost instantly, and the passengers all descended unhurt. By means of the electric telegraph assistance was immediately obtained, and precau tionary measures taken to prevent accident to approaching trains. After a short time the passengers were enabled to proceed to their destination s , the only inconvenience experi enced having been d e l ay an d con sequent anxiety to friend s . The carriages ware replaced on the rails, and the ordinary traffic of the line was resumed within two hours after the accident. THE SHARE MARKETS, 11,A.

During the first fourteen days of the month the position of matters, as indicated in our last monthly circular, experienced further improvement as re garded demand, accompanied not only with greater firmness in prices, but likewise with a further advance upon certain descriptions of cloth and yarn. Since then, from the droop ing tendency of the Liverposl Cotton Market, as consequent upon a secession of the then recent heavy operations in it, and in an apprehended early, and heavy supply of the raw material, this market, as usual, has manifested its unvarying sympathy, and induced a material suspension of operations, except for pressing wants, together with a general and de clining tendency in prices." The Bill brought in to enable her Majesty to abolish otherwise than by treaty, on condition of reciprocity, differen tial duties on foreign ships, provides that " where it shall appear to her Majesty that by the laws or regulations of any foreign power the trade and shipping of Great Britain in the ports of such foreign power have been placed upon the same footing as the trade and shipping of such foreign power, it shall be lawful fur her Majesty, by order to be by her made with the advice of her Privy Council, and to be published in the London Gazette, to order and declare that the trade and shipping of such foreign power shall have the benefit of the provisions of this Act; and there upon all the provisions, clauses, matters, and things in the said first recited Act contained shall, so long as such Order in Council shad remain in force, but no longer, apply and extend to the trade and shipping of such foreign power, as fully and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as they apply to the trade and shipping of the said United States and Portugal, or would apply to such trade and shipping if the convention and treaty intended to be carried into effect by the said first-recited Act were in force, and shall also apply and extend to differential duties or charges on goods imported or exported in the ships or vessels of such foreign power as well as to differential duties on the ships or vessels of such foreign power." Official returns of the position of the Savings Banks, between November 20, 1849, and August 8, 1851, show rather interesting results. It would appear that from January to July, 1850, the sums withdrawn were very large, whereas in the first three months of 1851 the deposits exceeded the repayments. Taking the whole period from November, 1849, to August, 1851, the amounts were as follow : Excess paid in by Savings Banks beyond the sums drawn out Excessdrawn out, including interest on sums drawn out 924,268 Dividends received by the Commissioners, on Stock invested ....... ......... 1,457,323 The Stock Ma r k e t is quiet, bat firm, this morning.

MARKET NE WS.-( THIS DAY.} CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.) Notwithstanding that the arrivals of English Wheat, this week, coastwise and by land carriage, have born some— what on the increase, the show of samples of bath red and white here to-day was very limited, but quite equal to the wants of the millers. selected qualities sold at Monday's prices ; but low and middling parcels were heavy, and a total clearance of them was not effected. The imports off Foreign Wheat have amounted to 3,230 quarters; but the quantity on offer was comparatively small. The large quantity of French Flour at hand had a depressing influence upon the trade, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Floating cargoes were much neglected, yet we cannot call them lower. With both English and Foreign Barley we were tolerably well, but not to say largely, supplied. Picked samples fit for malting were steady at late rates. In grinding and distilling sorts very little was doing. No change took place in the value of malt, for which article the inquiry ruled inactive. The show of Oats was limited, whilst the demand for most kinds was steady, at full prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were very dull. ,IC RIVALS TILIS WEEK_ NYheat . Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. Qrs. Ors. Qrs. Qrs. Sacks.

To. day's market was very moderately supplied with Peasts ; nevertheless, as the attendance of buyers was limited, the demand for that description of stock ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The number of Sheep was slightly on the increase compared with Friday last. Ail breeds met a very slow inquiry, but we have no change to notice in prices. The extreme figure for the best old Downs, in the wool, was 4s 2d per Blbs. In Lambs very little business was transacted, yet Down qualities were worth 5i 8d per 81bs. Calves moved off slowly, at barely late rates. In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Mulch Cows were quoted at from 141 to 18/ each, including their small Calf.

The demand was good for exportation at about the former prices. Yellow Havannah at 333 to 37s for hot to very flue ; 36s to 393 for good and fine florettes. COFFEE.—The demand has not been quite so good for Native Ceylon, and prices have gone rather in favour of buyers.

WOOD, this morning, presented s petition on behalf of the daughters, coheiresses of Mrs. Cumming, pray ing for the confirmation of the Master's report, of the 2d of February, 1852, appointing Louisa Baker the committee of the person of Mrs. Cumming, and the appointment of Mr. James Sharp as committee of the estate. Lord Justice K. Basuca — Where is it p roposed that she should live. Sir W. P. Woon—lt was proposed that she should re' main where she is at present, under the care of Miss Baker, who was an old friend of Mrs. Clamming and of her family. The petitioner also asked for a grant of 2001., the amount to be paid to Miss Baker for the maintenance of Mrs. Cumming; that Mr. Sharp should be allowed to pass the s am e in his accounts. It was also asked that the costs should be taxed. Lord Justice KNIGHT BRUCE—WhiIe a traverse is pod' i n wasin g notth the intendeda mount t h o e f t costs the e a e n s d t s ing. I think that taxation certainly ought to stand over. Sir W. P. WOOD said that taxation was the first step t t c h w e a e r s d ta s te a . sce l r t ta asked for while Mrs.. Cumming lived, or of t • b e. troubling thsehovuallduebO:f during the remainder of her lite. Mr. R. PALMER presented a counter- et" that all further proceedings should be staedP Petition, praying e ss and that tbe car !_! Mrs. Cumming's person and estate should be allowed to remain in statu quo. The care of Mrs. C trusted to Mrs. Moor, and therperson was ea Cumming s e was nothing in the evidence.. brought before the commission to cast the slightest inwe_ .. tatiou on her conduct or her strous proposition which treatment to justify the 1 . 1 r`,.. to change all the existin they had just heard in the peti g t e lt . rning'.4 , person, and harass disarrangements about Mrs. (~ l'i dole her unfortunate life.

Sir W. P. Woor opposed the petition on behalf of his client, the only thing which they desired was that Mrs. Cummi ng should be in the care of some perfectly impartial person, which they did not consider Mrs. Moor to be. The COURT was of opinion that the interest and comfort of the alleged lunatic would be best consulted by not at all, or at least very slightly, . interfering with the present manage ment. They would, therefore, make an interim order ar pointing committees of her person and estate provisionally , on the un derstanding that no c h ange would be made in the arrangements which were now in force with regard to ber personal superintendence and control. With regard to access it would remain also as at present, subject to any fu ture direction which might be made as circumstances might arise, on application to either of their Lordships out of court.
