Lord Moarrrii has again introduced the Health of Towns' Bill which last session fell a victim to the prevailing epidemic of discussion. Much was said in 1847 anent this important measure, as the aching 'wrists of the stenographers to the House must have attested; but nothing whatever was done towards its acceptance, as is shown in the ghastly statistics of our tables of mortality, especially in the unobstructed savages of i n fl uenza and bronchitis. An opening is again afforded to the Legislature for the redempticn of its reputation as the great vehicle of national humanity. GOD grant the efforts of the Govern 'Dent may not przve as fruitless as they have done' hitherto! There is, if the popular represents- Lives will only )cogitate over the matter seriously, there is no substantial ground for objPetion to the Bill brought forward last evening by the Noble Viscount, the Chief Commissioner of her A.IAJEs-rx's IVoods and Forests. No sane man could deny the necessity for a legislative exertion of this character. If ever there was unanimity upon one particular in any age, or in any country, upon a question of 5001 , ,1 innovaticn there is an universal unanirnit- upon this f the sanitary improvements required in England. All party-feeling bows down together before the stupen- THE SDN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1845. dous majesty of DEarn.:Ancient grudges are forgotten, personal animosities are annihilated, factious emo tions are quelled, the most turbulent passions, the most rancorous jealousies, the most perennial emula tions are contemned and disregarded before the aggravated agonies of a great people, and the unnatural depopulation of the empire. The Health of Towns' Bill is neither a Whig Bill, nor a Tory Bill ; its adoption is not the aspiration exclusively of Liberal or Conservative. Lord LINCOLN advocated its clauses during the administration of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Lord MoRPEru becomes its champion during the ministry of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The veriest Protectionist in the forty shires might struggle for the victory of the measure without the smallest qualm to his pastoral and sensitive consci ence. A Free-trader can battle against the inroads of pestilence and contagion, by recording his vote-in favour of the Cabinet scheme, and in so doing only accomplish physically what he has already achieved co mmercially—community cf health as well as com munity of enterprise. That this is precisely the spirit in which this remarkable subject is beginning to be 4 regarded in Parliament, was testified last evening by the objections raised against the measure as conceived by her MAJEiTY'S Ministers. Objections were raised, but they were objections raised not because of what the Bill is intended to effect, but because it is not, in the estimation of Hon. Mem bers, calculated to effect enough in the way of a true and efficient sanitary improvement. Lord Duacas; quarrels with it because it does not provide in any manner for the abolition of the window-tax : Mr. HORSMAN because there is no especial provision against the continuance of intermural interment : and Colonel SIBTHOEP because the metropolis is altogether excluded from a participation in its advantages. Not a syllable was of course ' uttered in depreciation of the objects of the measure. The measure was only opposed because, to the more precipitate class of legislators, those objects did not appear to be sufficiently numerous. Lord MoarEam must therefore be solaced, under all circumstances, by this reflection, that whatever opposition is raised to his favourite project, it will not be as to quality, ' but solely and entirely as to quantity. It is so good, in Booth, that Members want more of it; just as a child may long to surfeit its': If with plum-pudding, without an eye to its capabilities of digestion. In restricting the operation of the Bill within the limits marked out by the Cabinet, we do conceive that Lord Moarteret and his colleagues have acted with peculiar sag :city. They have not endangered all by ambitioning too much. They have not glutted the Public by an over-dose of pre servatives against disease. They have considered, moreover, that it has become essential to bring the system into immediate play. Delay they know to be perilous to the lives of thousands, and consequently they have abstained from encumbering the Bill with provisions such as would retard its passage through Parliament, by exciting a variety of prolonged dis cussions.. Nor can any reasonable observer deride the mea sure as wholly insufficient. It exceeds the audacity of HERCULES, for it grapples with many monsters at once. Over the whole project it provides fur a State supervision a control wai admirably described by the noble repre sentative of the West Riding of Yorkshire as one " necessary to provide indispensable preliminaries, to suggest useful methods of acting, and to check obvious abuses, and then to leave the detail and execution of the particular proceedings to local agencies." Those local agencies were subsequently mentioned, as " boards or bodies connected with, and not distinct from, town councils in those places in which munici pal corporations exist." And the duties which will be considered as imperative upon them are enumerated as follows: " To hold meetings for transactions of business ; to appoint a surveyor ; an inspector of nuisances ; to procure a map of their district ; to make public sewers; to substitute sufficient sewers in case old ones be discontinued; to require owner or occupier to provide house drains ; to cleanse and water streets; to appoint or contract with scavengers ; to cleanse, cover, or fill up offensive ditches ; to keep a register of slaughterhouses; to keep a regis'er of certain • lo'lging-housc s ; to provide a sufficient supply of water for drainage, public and private, and for domestic use." There is a practical character, therefore, in the Health of Towns' Bill as again introduced by Lord Moilmil—a character such as must command the gratitude even of the most reckless innovator. Omissions 'there unquestionably, are but those can be rectified at leisure ; and the Government cannot long delay the adoption of especial measures in regard to the sanitary ccndition of the Metropolis. The speech of the Hon. Member for Liverpool, in bringing before the House the report of the Select Committee appointed last year for the purpose of taking into their consideration the state of our com mercial relations with China, is deserving of the most serious attention. That report was well ma tured, and the principles enunciated by the Commit tee commanded the assent of the vast majority of the people of this country ; indeed, of every person anxious for the legitimate extension of trade and the removal of the restrictions affecting our commerce with other lands. There are many considerations which render the reduction of duty recommended by the Committee extremely desirable. It should not be regarded merely as a question affecting the revenue, or from which an increased demand for our manufactures might reasonably be expected. These are, no doubt important elements in the calculation ; but there are others which should not be lost sight of. Tea is essentially the luxury of the poorer classes—its social and moral influences are very considerable. Its use affects not merely their comforts, but the propriety and rectitude of their conduct. Could you induce the over-toiled mechanic or labourer to remain with his family to enjoy " the cup that cheers but not inebriates," he would no longer be exposed to many temptations to which too often he falls a victim, to the sacrifice not only of his own happiness, but that of his helpless and innocent family. A more deadly blow could not be given to the degrading vice of intoxication than by cultivating and encouraging a taste for tea. The best mode of attaining this great desideratum would be by making it so cheap as to place it within the reach of all. You would then, indeed, afford the greatest assistance to the labours of the Apostle of Temperance, which have already been productive of such happy results, while you would afford a cheap and refreshing drink—an agreeable and salubrious stimulant to those who have to undergo much bodily fatigue. There are some articles, such as spirits and tobacco, of which it is not desirable greatly to extend the consumption. Of these it may be said that the only limit of taxation is not to raise it to so great an extent as to throw the trade into the hands of smugglers, and thus at once to injure the revenue and the profitS of the fair trader. But with tea the matter is altogether different. The tax can only be justified on fiscal grounds, and the necessity of maintaining the national income, and providing for the interest of our debt, and the requi site expenditure of our public establishments. The Member for Liverpool last night dealt with the subject merely on economical grounds, and he cert ainly adduced sufficient reasons for the speedy reduction h e a nt s w of the d u ty. Th e s t ronges t ex p ec t a ti on had been m formedrch and u h o re r s s pect to the prospects opened to our ewasewith manufacturer. the e empire. nt establish ment of f ree i A new market formed, export trade, t p ra r d • e n , ise t d o taoffeonrd hence considerably our ui an additional outlet to thoep p a rticts amo o u f at o in u g r national industry. A p to three-eighths of the entire populati on o f t h e g l o b e became our customers, and it was impossible to say how far the trade might be extended. The great bulk of that trade has hitherto fallen to this country ' • but we have active and ener g etic riv als anxious to benefit by our oversights and impolitic fiscal regula tions, by which we might sacrifice advantages ‘,llich might never be regained. If nearly four-fifths of th e value of the goods imported into China have been received by British vessels, it should not be forgotten that no less than two-thirds of the residue were sent by America. A continuance in our present policy for even a short period may enable that country to chang e places with us, and to obtain the trade which we shall have lost by our unjust and inequitable spkin of taxation. The Committee have reported that "there is but one limit to our trade with China," and that is " the amount to which we take their exports." The British Consul at Canton has stated in one of his dis patches " Assuming that the American and the trade of other foreign nations leaves an excess of exports over imports of about a million sterling, the approxi mate balance of trade against China would be nearly two millions, constituting the sum annually drawn from this country in specie to pay for opium. How long the Chinese will be able to sustain this con tinual drain of the precious metals is impossible to de termine, but the fact being now well established that the export of tea to England cannot be increased under the present system of duties, it is not difficult to foresee that unless a new opening be found for a larger consumption of China exports in our mar kets, a gradual reduction must take place either in the quantity or in the prices of our im ports in China until they come to a proper level. On the other hand, it is beyond calculation to what ex tent the Chinese would purchase our woollens and cottons, were we enabled to take their produce in return, especially after having obtained the legaliza tion of the opium trade." lie further states, and in this he is borne out by Sir John Davis, by whom his words are quoted :—" It must be borne in mind that the import trade is regulated by, and depends wholly on, the export trade, and that therefore only an increase of exports can cause a corresponding increase in im ports. The China trade being essentially a direct barter trade, it is obvious that unless means can be found to take from the Chinese a larger amount of their prin cipal export, tea, there seems to be but a limited prospect of deriving for the British manufacturing in terests all those advantages which the new position which we hold in this country consequent upon the late war might lead them to expect." There are, in fact, but three means by which we can be paid for our goods—by silver, by silk, and by tea. The two former are limited in amount, but no bounds can be assigned to the quantity of tea which we might receive in exchange for our manufactures ; and the value of these exports would go to a great extent in wages to the operative classes, in providing employment for our people. It is not only the in creased consumption of tea consequent upon a reduc tion of the price that would diminish the loss to the revenue ; but, as each pound of tea would occasion a demand for five pounds of sugar, we should receive an equivalent for a considerable portion of any loss that might take place on the import duties on tea from an increase of the revenues from sugar ; and the West India interests would be materially served, and that in the most legitimate manner. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER does not deny that the loss frcm the desired reduction in the duty from 2s. 21,1. to is. per pound would be but a temporary one. The Right lion. Baroiret said, "I have not the least doubt that if we could lower the price of tea in this country the consumption wouti be extended, and in time the revenue be maintained. I have not the least doubt, again, that the quantity of goods we send to China must materially depend upon the amount of returns we can get from that country, and that to take their tea would considerably ex tend our exports to China. I have not the least doubt, again, that the result of this would be to benefit the consumers, the manufacturers, and the shipowners of this country. Nor am I afraid that the lt.ss of revenue would not in time be made up by the increased consumption of tea." After these admis si-ms, involving the whole question, we cannot con ceive it possible that the Right Hon. Gentleman can intend to persevere in the present system—far better that the deficiency, if any, should be made up by an increased property-tax, which is, as we have already proved, at once the most equitable and most expedient mode of recruiting the national Exchequer. A letter from Rome, of the 30th of January, ,says:—" The King of NAPLES has yielded at length to the wishes of his people, and of all Italy. He has just commissioned his new Ministers to sketch a project of a constitution. This news, which has just arrived here, has produced an electric emotion. Nu merous bands of people are perambulating the town, shouting out, Long live the Neapolitan Constitu !' and everywhere the windows appear illu minated, and filled with persons, who join the people in their joyful demonstrations and plaudits. They congratulate one another on the sudden and pacific solution of a question which threatened to prove fatal to the Italian cause. There was scarcely any hope that the KING would yield so easily, and it was not expected that he would grant a constitution. "Naples is the brightest conquest of the superior mind of Plus IX . The accession of this kingdom to the Progressist party, assures the triumph of the Italian cause. lip to this day we saw nothing but uncertainty and fluctuation. Naples carries the balance. So long as Naples remained out of the circle of the general movement fears were en tertained of an Austrian intervention, hut now such an apprehension would not be justified. Had King FERDINAND felt sufficient confidence to depend upon Austria, he *could not have yielded. Since he has given way, it is demonstrated that Austria, taken up with her own business, has refused him her materiel support. Eighteen millions of Italians have pro claimed for the general progress, despite the Austrian opposition. All the Imperial forces and all the Aulic attentions are now concentrated on Lombardy, that splendid prey, which will soon fall from the double eagle's grasp I "It is reported that the King of NAPLES, in alluding to the Reformer princes of Italy, has plainly said, Hanno spinto me, io spring; era loro.' (They have pushed me—l shall push them to my turn.) There is no doubt that Rome will benefit by the Neapolitan movement. It will awaken still more the Liberals, and dishearten the obscurantists." It is said that the Austrian Ambassador at Naples, Prince SCIIWARTEENDERG, has protested against the grant of a constitution by the KING, as being con trary to the provisions of existing treaties between Naples and Austria. King CIIAILLES ALBEIT has, it is said, addressed a note to France, offering if France would support him to drive the Austrians out of Lombardy. The French Government, however, replied that they would give no countenance whatever to such an undertaking. Madrid papers of the 4th have arrived. The lleraldo, the official organ of the Narvaez Ministry, announces that the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER will visit Madrid in the month of May. Addresses continue to be presented to ESPAXTERO from all the cities of the kingdom. The following from Barcelona, the city which first rebelled against his regency, was signed by upwards of 6,000 persons, and was presented tohim by General VAN HALEN:— " TO 1113 EXCELLENCY DON IitALDONLERO ESPARTERO. " If the error of a moment could present the loyal Barcelonese in hostility with your Excellency, the expiation of three months' of unheard-of efforts to repair the evil caused by irreflection, could not fail to restore to us' the esteem of your Excellency, and of every good Spaniard. " This pleasing conviction has been the only leni tive of the pain arising from that unthinking ebulli tion which caused most of us to fall into the snare laid for us by our political adversaries, and which has caused us to shed bitter tears during four years. But we will withdraw our eyes from so dark a page of our contemporary history, in order to fix it solely on that which will record the bright day on which the country recovered your Excellency, its favourite son. " Yes, the arrival of your Excellency at the Court has re•enimated the public spirit, being coinmunicated like an electric spark to the most distant confines of the kingdom ; causing a universal joy, and all lovers of justice and of the national welfare congratulating each other, as recognising in your Excellency the pacificator of the kingdom, and the firmestsupporter of the constitutional throne. " Hail, illustrious warrior ! The loyal Barcelonese congratulate themselves on so happy an event, and while envying the lot of those who have been so for tunate as to address you personally, we felicitate you with equal, or, if possible, greater enthusiasm, than that which impelled the patriotic festivals with which you well remember vvereceivedyou in this city on ter minating your triumphant career, and having obtained in Berga the last laurel of victory. " Accept, Duke, the expressions of the purest gra titude, and be ever the protecting genius of the national liberty and independence. Barcelona, Jan. 26, 1 18."

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The discussion on the paragraph of the Address relating to the Reform banquets terminated on w e dne:;( l .l3. in a scene of ermf us ; on R b;,i, one of the scenes in the Chamber during the latter days of the Villele Ministry and during the whol continuance of that of POLIGNAC and his colleagues. M. HEBERT, the Keeper of the Seals, and the pro pounder of the famous doctrine of moral complicity, denounced the Reform banquets in the most furious and exaggerated language, as nothing better than Jacobin clubs, and contending that they were there• fore illegal according to the police-law of 1791, announced the intention of Government to prevent any more Reforna banquets, being held. Upon this de claration being made, M. ODILLON BARROT, from his place exclaimed, " POLIGNAC and PEYRONNET were more constitutional than you are," and the whole of the Opposition rose and repeated the same words, turn ing towards the Ministerial bench as they uttered them. Hereupon M. Henear, pale with rage, exclaimed, " Whatever violence may be used towards my person," and was proceeding, when he was inter rupted by cries of "You arc the only violent person here," mingled with loud cries of " Order !" and " Adjourn !" M. HEBERT continued, amidst much confusion, to declare that he would not suffer his person or his authority to be insulted, and turning towards M. ODILLON BARROT, he exclaimed, "And it is you who have given the signal for these violent interruptions—you, who as the leader of a party, ought, on the contrary, to set an example of moderation." This was the signal for a fresh uproar, in the midst of which M. ODILLON BARROT rose, and from his place spoke as follows :—" Since it is I who, by an exclamation, have provoked the utterance of the words which you have just heard, may I be permitted very shortly to refer to them. I take no notice of the threats which have been hurled against us—that is also a reminiscence of the past. Under the Restora tion a similar circumstance happened, and similar threats were uttered. They are the weapons always used on first entering the path into which you wish to force the Parliament. When, instead, of inviting freedom of discussion, you endeavour to associate with you in your resentments the Crown and the majority—(Great interruption, and cries from the left of Yes! yes !')—you are astonished that we should betray emotion. But we are not alone; in the midst of you, by the side of you, there are those also who are moved. I repeat from my place, as I said at the Tribune, your conduct is a stain upon a Government inaugurated into power by the resistance of the masses.—(Murmurs from the centre.) Yes, I desire that my words should be faithfully reported, and should re-echo everywhere. Ministers of the Revolution of July, you violate a law respected even by the Restoration at the very moment of its fall. I tell you that you do not respect what was even re spected by PoLIGNAc." The uproar and confusion here became indescribable, and in the midst of it the Opposition rose en masse and left the chamber. It appears from the Con.gitutionnel that the Opposition have determined to take their stand on this question "A great struggle," says the Constitatiounel, "has com - menced from this day for the Opposition. It has imposed on it the task of calling into political life the citizens of France, and of preventing the Executive from travestying the representative regime into a vain and miserable farce." The members of the Opposition will, it is said, at tend the Reform banquet of thy 12th arrondissement, and if they are prevented by the Executive from entering the banquet-room, they will go to the Chambers aad resign en masse. Several of the firmest supporters of M. GUIZOT have determined to secede from him on this occasion, but he remains firm ; and it is said that an ordinance has been signed, appointing Marshal BUGEAUD, who is used to street-fighting in Paris, Minister of War. Marshal BUGEAUD, however, is indignant at the treatment he has received in Algeria, and will, it is thought, refuse to play the butcher to please M. GUIZOT. The debate was resumed yesterday, but nothing of interest had occurred up to the hour of post. The funeral oration in memory of the great Libe rator of Ireland, DANIEL O'CONNELL, was pro nounced by the Abbe LACORDAIRE, in the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, who was present, seemed much effected by the sublime dis course of the Rev. Abb6, who in the course of it took occasion warmly to eulogise the Duke of WELLING TON andlSir ROBERT PEEL for the conduct they pur sued in introducing the Catholic Emancipation 13111 in 1829. The Constitutionnel announces that the maritime 2nthorities of Toulon had been directed to send to Naples all the steamers they could dispense with. The—Vauban, Pingoin, and Vedette had already sailed f,r that destination on the sth inst. Letters from Cherbourg, of the 6th, state that orders had reached there from Paris to dispatch to the Mediter ranean the frigate Pomone and the steam- corvette Chaptal. • According to the Presse, the Sicilians are said to have accepted in form the constitution given to them by King FERDINAND, but upon the express condition that the inviolability of these new institutions shall be guaranteed by England. Prince CMARTORYSKI has written to the Dibats to state that he considers the rumours which have been spread of the King of SARDINIA having applied to the Polish:emigrants, and among others to his son, to take service in the Sardinian army, to be unfounded. His son, he says, has gone to Italy, but it was for family reasons, and not on an invitation, " by w-hich,' says the PRINCE, " he would without doubt have been greatly honoured, and which he would have accepted with gratitude." The Prince of SYRACUSE is still detained in Paris. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse yesterday at 74f.

We deeply lament to announce the death of the Primate, for which the public must be somewhat pre pared by the lengthened illness of the Venerable Archbishop, and the alarming bulletins issued within the last ten days by his medical attendants. His Grace expired at a quarter past two this morn ing. His last moments were most tranquil, and he was in possession, to within a very short time of his dissolution, of all his faculties. We have only space to give a brief sketch of the Venerable Archbishop : The Most Rev. and Right Hon. Dr. Wm. Howley was only son of the Rev. Wm. Howley, D.D., Vicar of Bishop's Sutton and Ropley, Hants. He was born the 12th February, 1765, so that he would have attained his 82d year had he lived until to-morrow. At a proper age he was placed at Winchester School, and there received the usual rudimental education preparatory to going to the University. He was removed from that seminary to the University of Oxford, and when in his 21st year he obtained a fellowship at New College. In 1794 he was elected Fellow of Winchester College, and, in 1804, took the degree of Doctor of Divinity. In 1809 he was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity. His Grace was tutor to his Royal High• ness the Prince of Orange (now King of ILlland), when that Prince was at the University of Oxford, the troubles of his own country, then in the occupa tion of the French under Napoleon, compelling that illustrious Prince to resort to that seat of learning for his education ; his Grace was also tutor to the Marquis of Aberdeen. On the death of the Rev. Dr. John Randolph, in September, 1813, he suc ceeded that distinguished divine as Bishop o f London, and in 1828, the Archbishop Charles Man ners Sutton dying, he was appointed by the Duke of Wellington, the then Prime Minister, to the Archbishopric which had become vacant, and he has consequently held the highest dignity in the Church nearly twenty years. The deceased was Primate of all England and Metropolitan, a Governor of the Charterhouse, Visitor of All Souls, Baliol, and Merton Colleges, Oxford, and of King's College, London, of Harrow School, and Dulwich College. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in November, 1796, was Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and a Member of the Royal Society of Literature. His Grace was also President of many of our charitable in , titutions, to the funds of which he was a munificent contributor. The Church has lost a th , veut a nd F:ineere rnr-rnh^r in lila LA . • 3 station of Primate, bad the fortune to gain the esteem and regard of all classes. MONEY and COMMERCIAL I , .EWS. CITY, QUARTER TO T111?!...E. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was considerable firmness. Sales, 6,000 bales, including 1,000 bales of American on speculation. The riso in American sorts since Friday last has been J. per lb. Railway Shares had been firm but without much bud.- ness doing. Although it is understood that the extent of' the orders fur goods received from America is not considerable, we are glad to state that besides Cotton, other staples em ployed extensively in manufacturing pursuits have be come in brisker demand. Indigo continues to go off well, and Wool, it is hoped, will be sold at an advance upon previous rates, during the public sales now in progress. Money in the discount market continues easy, and the influx of specie influences not only the general value of cash, and its abundance, but will be seen again in the Bank of England returns to be published this evening. As far as can be ascertained from the most authentic sources, money is very easy also on the Continent, and there are not many channels of employment. Railways throughout the European states are conducted with caution, and " calls," though they may gradually in crease, will not be strenuously pushed. The report of the Bank of France is an inter esting document, and it would be well if a similar "reckoning" in official form were drawn up periodically by the Bank of England. As an exposition of motives, the document would prove interesting to the proprietors, and valuable to the public, if only to demonstrate the fallacy or soundness of a particular line of operations. Messrs. Lysaght, Smithett and Co.'s balance sheet, exhibiting the transactions of the house which was in • the India trade, was presented yesterday at a meeting of the creditors of the firm, and proved as satisfactory as could be expected, seeing the tremendous losses that have befallen this particular branch of commerce. The assets amounted to 23,0001., to meet 29,0001. of liabilities. The Brighton Railway meeting to-day has attracted many members of the Stock Exchange, who are share holders, because of the expectation that the diecussien thereat will prove interesting,. A falling off in traffic half-year was to be expected, but this forms no fair criterion for the future, and as to the alleged disgraceful speculations of parties " in the secret" who propagated so industriously reports directly contrary to the truth, we may hope that they will be traced. The Funds arc very quiet, but have not gone much Witter upon the Paris news. Consols have been at 89 to - 4 1 - for present transfer, and at S 9 4 for the account day. Beek Stock is worth 200 to 202. Exchequer-bills of June heir° been quoted 245., and of March 19s. to 21s. premium. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been 90 to it. Railway Shares are rather heavy.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat for our market, coastwise, have been small, viz., 3,410 quarters. By land carriage the receipts have been trifling, hence the show of samples to day was beneath an average. On the whole the demand for all descriptions was in a very sluggish state, arid Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported. The beat parcels of foreign Wheat sold in retail at full prices, but the middling and in!erior kinds might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. Since Monday no fresh Barley has come to hand; so little was doing in that article today that prices were almost nominal. The best Ware Malt was held at pro • vious quotations. Other kinds were the turn lower. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, were a mere drug. In Flour very little was doing. ARRIVALS. crh.:4t. j BArloy I Oat.. j T • ; vs. 1,060 gri.

For the time of year, the supply of Za'asts on offer, this morning, was very moderate, but, ecomparatively spc aking, of fair average quality. The pr.imest Scots, were mostly disposed uf, at Monday's quotations; but all other kinds were a slow sale, and, in some instances, the quotations had a downward tendency. With Foreign stock, we were again ecantily supplied. Very fine English Sheep were in the market. The Mutton trade must be called somewhat active, at full rates of currency. The best old Downs sold at from 5; 2d to 5s 4d per 8 lbs. Calves, the supply of which was small, were in fair request, and prices were well supported. Pigs were a slow sale, but not cheaper.

(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) THE ABINGDON BANK.---IN RE H. KNAPP. To-day was appointed for an audit and dividend under the estate of the bankrupt, who was a blinker at Abingdon. It will be remembered that he did not surrender at the first muting for his examina tion, but on application, to day w:ki appointed fin- the purpose of his list ex unination. He was examined at some length, but ultimately the case was adjourned fortwo months, his balaneb sheet not being completed. SECONDARIES'—(TIIIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secorithry PorrEn.) NEAL V. BELL.-BILL DISCOUNTING• This was an action by plaintiff as indorser against defendant as the drawer to recover the sum of 51. Qs. on a bill of exeLnge. Defendant pleaded that the bill had not been in dorsed to plaintiff; and Mr. CLARKSON stated the case, and called William Lyndhurst, who said he was a tailor, re siding on Ludgate-hill. The indorsement was that of his father. Witness was present when plaintiff asked witness's father to discount a 201. bill, and the latter said ho would if plaintiff liked to take the bill in question in part, which was agreed to, and t'7.e bill was handed over to plaintiff. Before they parted plaintiff said be would leave the bill with Lyndhurst for presentation, as the other parties lived in town, and plaintiff resides at Cuxton, Cambridgeshire. The bill was dishonoured. Plaintiff is a farmer, and con tracts to convey letter bags for the Post-office. Other evidence was given confirmatory of the above. Mr. ASPLAND contended that this was only a colourable indorsement to a party living more than twenty miles from London, in order to get costs of an action in the superior Courts. The Learned Counsel called a witness with a iew of showing this. The Learned SECONDARY said the question was whether - the indorsement and delivery was bona fide. The mere signature did not prove that. The jury immediately found for the plaintiff. SURREY SESSIONS--(THIS DAY.) (Before J. W. FRESTIFIELD, Esq., and a Bench of Magistrates.) William 3fargan was indicted for stealing four pair of boots from the shop of John Toby, boot maker, High-street, Southwark. William Smith, an errand boy, in the prosecutor's employ, said, that on the morning of the 18th of January, he was informed by a man that the prisoner had snatched the boots from the door and run away. He instantly went in pursuit, and caught him in Saint Thomas's-street. The prisoner pulled the boots from under his coat, and handed them to him, saying " take your boots, and let me go." Witness, however, took hold of him by the collar, and detained him until a policeman arrived, when he gave him into custody. In defence, the prisoner said that the boots were given to him by a gentleman to hold. The jury found him Guilty, and The COURT sentenced hhn to three months hard labour in Brixton House of Correction. Gcorge 31'George, 16, was indicted for stealing a coat from the shop of Mr. Groves, tailor, Lambeth marsh. On the 26th of January the prisoner was seen with another lad attempting to steal a coat from the pro secutor's shop-door. One of the shoprnen saw the other lad snatch the coat off a stand and throw it to the prisoner. The latter was pursued, and taken into custody with the coat in his possession. The other lad escaped. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence—Three months. Michael Collins, 16, and John Burk, 13, found guilty of picking pockets, ware sentenced to one month's imprisonment each, and to be privately whipped. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) 'lwo boys, the eldest named Sleet, about thirteen years old, and the younger, Wiltshire, About twelve, were charged before Mr. Combe with attempting to steal, and with loiterintz in Brick-lane, St. Luke's, with intent to commit a felony. Mr. Adolphus D'Escury stated, that yesterday morning he was in the shop of his brother, a dealer in cigars, in Brick- lane, when he saw the two pri soners standing close to the window, a third boy being behind them, for the purpose, as it appear e d t o him, of screening the others from the observation of the passers-by. Their manner excited his suspicion, and he watched them for a minute or two until he observed Sleet put his hand into the shop, lift up a glass, and grasp a bundle of cigars. The witness attempted to seize him, but was not in time. The two boy s now at the bar escaped for the time, but the third was overtaken, and was sent to gaol yesterday by the magistrate. The witness since pointed out these two to the police, to whom they are well known as associates of convicted thieves, and he had no doubt of their identity. He believed also that they and their associate in the present case were the same three boys who a few days ago effected a daring robbery of some amount in his brother's shop. One of them broke in a pane of glass, by pressing his face against it, and they contrived to carry off successfully upwards of thirty shillings' worth of cigars. No evidence, however, was now offered upon that charge. It appeared that it w;,s only so recently as the 26th of last,. month the prisoner Sleet was committed t o prison for seven days from this court for a larceny. They were committed to prison for two month., with hard labour. ANNIVERSARY OF THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGB.m..
