MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) C ORN -EXC HAN 6E-WEDNESDAY The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast wise, has been very moderate, viz., 2,330 quarters. To day the show of samples was small, and the finest parcels moved off steadily, at fully Monday's quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds comparatively little business was transacted, at late rates. With foreign Wheat we were somewhat heavily supplied, owing to which, sales progressed slowly, and prices were with difficulty supported. Very little Barley was on offer. All kinds ruled steady, and the currencies were well maintained. We have to notice a very dull sale for Malt, but without any decline in value. The Oat trade was firm, at very full prices. In all other kinds of grain, as well as Flour, exceedingly little was doing. ARRIVALS. Wheat. 2,330 qrs. English lrish. ....•• •• I -- Foreign Barley. 740 qrs. Oats. 1 Flair. 960 qrs.

MACAULAY. The plaintiffs in this case are advertising agents, and the action was brought to recover tho sum of 1,0001., the balance of an account due to them by the Alialand Union Railway Company, of which the defendant was a managing director. A verdict was found for the de fendant, on the ground that there :was not safficient evidence to fix the liability of the defendant. tPhEils licassell;which was Mr. WHITEHURST now moved to set aside the verdict. The Court granted a rule. which a similar Ter. dict had been returned. brought The C f o o u r T r h E a e l also sergel rEtt debt,riP t L e A da t i l a u F d l F e a i l any COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) SMITH V. DEARLOVE. This case was tried at the last York Assizes, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff for 301., being the value of a carriage and some harness which had been deposited by the plaintiff with the defendant, who is an innkeeper at Harrowgate, and upon which the defendant claimed a lien as a guarantee for the payment of 201. due to him by the plaintiff. On Monday last Mr. Baines applied for a new trial, on the ground that the plaintiff was a guest at the de fendant's inn, and, according to the law laid down in several cases, the defendant had a good lien upon any goods left in his possession as security for the debt in curred by the plaintiff in his character as a guest. It appeared that, although the plaintiff did not reside at the inn, he was in the habit of taking refre:hment there occasionally, and had accommodation provided on the premises for his carriage and horses, and in addition, hired apartments for a friend in the inn, fur the cost of which he rendered hiin;.elf liable. The COURT gave judgment in the case this morning, observing, that the carriage and harness, for which the action was brought, were not received by the defendant in his character as innkeeper; the plaintif not being a guest at his house at ti.e time, and that the supply of refreshments from time to time, and the accommodation provided fur the plaintiff's friend, were entirely distinct contracts from that under which the carriage and har ness were received. The Court were, th. ref ore, of opinion that the verdict was right, and on that ground refused to grant a new trial. Rule accordingly refused, RICHARDS V. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOIITH COAST RAILWAY. This action, which was brought to recover the value of a box containing trinkets and other articles of con siderable value, which was lost by the wife of the plain tiff while journeying to London by the railway, was tried at the last sittings at Guildhall, when a verdict fur 1501 was found for the plaintiff. The COURT, upon application this morning, granted a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY-) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) CHAPMAN AND ANOTHER V. HOLMES. This was an action to recover the sum of 156/. for advertisements inserted in a newspaper called the Railway Director, which was published during the rail way mainia. The defendant was sued as one of the directors of the Somerset and North Devon Junction Railway Company and Porlock Harbour and Dock Company. Mr. Cox, who appeared as counsel for the plaintiffs, said that the defendant, by suffering judgment to go by default, admitted his liability. The Learned COUNSEL said the scheme was somewhat extraordinary, being for a railroad between Porlock and Bridgewater, and the formation of a dock and harbour at the former place, although the population was not much above 50, certainly not 100. Evidence was adduced to prove the insertion of the advertisements in accordance with the orders of the defendant, and a verdict was given for the amount claimed. CHARTIST CONVENTION. (THIS DAY.) The delegates met this morning at nine o'clock, and after having read several letters from the newly-ap pointed agitators, setting forth their success in the pro vinces, proceeded to consider the propriety of a motion brought forward by Mr. Clarke, to the effect that the elections to the proposed National Assembly should be postponed for a week, on the ground that as her Ma jesty's Ministers would be out of town they would not be able to present the memorial to the Queen. Mr. bIIERRIN and several other delegates opposed the motion, on the ground that the few members then re maining in town ought not to interfere with the resolu tion passed by the full Convention. Mr. HARNEY wished to know, in order that h e m i g ht be guided as to the vote he should give upon the ques tion, whether there were any funds in hand to pay the expenses of the National Assembly when they met ? Mr. CLARKE (who fills the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer) stated that the expenses of the meeting of the forthcoming Assembly would be about 3004 per week, and that at present there was no funds what ever in hand, and ,he begged further to state that to wards paying the expenses of the present convention the executive had already drawn upwards of 100/. from the resources of one gentleman. Several of the delegates thought that these disclosures ought not to be made matters of public notoriety, but should have been brought forward in committee, and they suggested that the gentleman who had advanced the funds required for the expenses of the committee should be immediately repaid. Mr. SHERRIN stated that he had been paid all his ex penses by his constituents, and he believed that any de legate who was not paid by his constituents had no busi• ness to have a seat at the table. _ Mr. REYNOLDS, uPon hearing this, rose with great in dignation, and said that after having heard those expres• sions he would leave the Convention, and have nothing further to do with its proceedings, and accordingly left the room, through the intervention of some of the dele gates, however, he was brought back again. Mr. SHERRIN having offered an humble apology, all apprehension as to anything like a breach of the peace taking place was removed by the two gentlemen accept ing each other's hand, and Mr. Reynolds, imitating the conduct of his honourable leader in another assembly upon a recent occasion, generously expressed himself perfectly satisfied ; and trusted that henceforth they should be better friends than ever. The successive scenes of the retreat, the return, and the reconciliation, caused great excitement, and the result was hailed with acclamations by the strangers in the gallery. After some further discussion, the original motion was agreed to by a large majority, and the sittings of the National Assembly postponed until the lit of May. Mr. HARNEY then brought forward a resolution to the effect, that the proposed national memorial to the Queen should be signed by all males of eighteen years and up wards, and a separat e memorial should be signed by women, setting forth the reasons for supporting the Charter. He thought that some such step was abso lutely necessary, in order to redeem the character of the Chartist body and of the Convention. Mr. GRAHAM seconded the motion. He believed that the large expressions which physical force made in that Convention, had been made use of, because they believed that they had five million of the people with them, whereas it appeared that they had not two millions, including all the fictitious names attached to the petition. The Convention had b een . - grossly deceived as to thei r real strength in tne country. After some discussion the retolution"was agreed to, and the_Convention adjourned. ARREST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE TRAINING SOCIETIES IN DUBLIN. --- - In the House of Lords, last evening, the Marquis of Lansdowne announced that the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland had on Monday issued warrants for the arrest of all persons who had been attending military drill in Dublin contrary to law, and that the member s o f the Irish t ra i n ing societies were now in custody ; also, that all persons who had been firing at na r k s w i t hi n the prec i nc t s of the city of Dublin had been p rocee d ed against un der the provi sions of the Dubli n P o li ce Act, b y was rendered a misdemeanor.which such firing on Monday afterno on , COURT CIRCULAR.

LEASEHOLD PROPERTY. Mr. HORSMAN presented a petition from Cumber land, praying for the enfranchisement of leasehold pro perty. NOTICES OF MOTION. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the orders of the day take precedence of notices of motion on 'Thursdays after Easter. It was necessary to do this, as the discus sions on the army and navy estimates generally occupied a good deal of time, and as it was necessary when they were brought on that the whole evening should be de voted to their consideration. Ile did not complain that these discussions occupied so much time. The Govern ment had also been prevented, by other matters inter vening, from bringing on other matters of importance. He had spoken to several Hon. Members on the subject, and they concurred with him in thinking that the course he proposed was the most advisable to adopt. THE ALIEN BILL. Mr. EWART asked the Noble Lord if he could give the reasons to the House which had induced the Govern ment to think it expedient to propose this Bill at the present juncture ? He asked the question, because he believed the Noble Lord had, on a former occasion, op posed a similar provision. - Lord J. RUSSELL replied that the Bill was the result of information whist had been received by the Govern ment from several quarters. They had been induced to think such a Bill necessary, although he admitted it was certainly quite opposed to the general poli c y o f the c ountry.—(Hear, hear.) His opinion was tha t so such Bill ought to exist at ordinary times. He did not think it would bo advisable for him to state to the House the circumstances which had led the Government to bring forward such a Bill. It was,_ right, however, he sho u ld Nutt() that it was merely of a temporary character. THE BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose and said— I have now, Sir, to move, that the House at its rising adjourn until Saturday next, with the view of moving on that day a further adjournment until Monday, the Ist of May. It may, Sir, perhaps, be con venient that I should state to the House the course which the Government intend to pursue with respect to the business before it after Easter. On Monday, the Ist of May, I shall propose that the first business shall be the advances for special purposes—the one for a certain West Indian loan for the promotion of emigration, the substance of which was stated by my Right Honourable Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the com mencement of this session, and with respect to which, when the matter comes again before the House, he will give a more particular notice.—(Hear, hear.) The second object is to enable the Government to ad vance again any repayments of money out of the ad vances made to Ireland in the course of last year and the year before. We shall propose on the same day, Monday, the Ist of May, the second reading of the Alien Bill. On Thursday, the 4th of May, I shall pro pose the third reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bill.— (Hear, Hear.) On Friday I purpose to take the Committee on the Alien Bill, if the second reading is agreed to on the Monday ; and if there is on that day time to proceed to other business, I propose to take the Committee on the Health of Towns Bill, that is if the Committee on that Bill cannot be taken before then. At all events, if the House should proceed but a little way with the discussion, I shall propose to proceed further with that Bill on Monday, the Bth of May. On Monday, the 15th of May, my Right lion. Friend the President of the Board of Trade will bring under the consideration of the House, as the first order of the day, the amendment of the navigation-laws.—(B ear , hear.) My Right Hon. Friend will state at the same time the course which is proposed to be taken with regard to the registration of seamen and the registration of ships; he will likewise state to the House, as a part of the general view which her Majesty's Government entertain upon this subject, the course thut is proposed to be taken by the introduction of a Bill to place the mer chant seamen's fund on an improved footing, thus giving the House a complete view of what are the inten tions of the Government upon this most important sub j,et. «ith regard to motions that have been made, or may be made, I should state that my Right lion. Friend the Secretary for Ireland will on Monday, the Ist of May (or it nut then on the next day, perhaps,) introduce a Bid with respect to the elective franchise and the polling places of Ireland—(Bear, ar)—with which ho will proceed at the earliest possible date. I do not know that there is any other subject on which it is necessary I should state the intentions of the Govern ment to the House; and I beg, therefore to move that the House at its rising do adjourn until Saturday next. Sir W. CLAY inquired whether it was the i , tendon of the Government to introduce any Bill during the pre sent session, like the one introduced into the last Par liament, having reference to the rate paying clauses of the Reform Act. If so, whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce any Bill to facilitate the exercise of the franchise by 101. householders resid ing in tenements, the rates of which were paid by the landlord ? Lord J. RUSSELL—I hope, in the course of the present session, to be enabled to introduce a Bill on this subject, similar to the one intro duced last year. I would rather not at present enter into any discussion of the details of such a mea sure; and I may take this opportunity of stating with respect to that and other measures that I do not feel disposed to introsluce them unless I see any reasonable possibility of being enabled to proceed with them during the present session. —(Hear.) Mr. O'CONNOR inquired whether the House would meet at twelve, or at the ordinary hour on Saturday? Lord J. RUSSELL replied that he could not pre cisely name the hour. Ile rather thought it would meet at tvw o'clock. THE:IRISII CHURCH. Mr. BRIGHT wished to ask whether the Govern ment intended to propose any measures for remedying the grievances of the Irish Church—grievances acknow ledged by the Government some years ago ? He had hoped that such a measure would have been brought forward ere now. Had the iGovernment any measures in contemplation with respect to the Church of that country? Lord J. RUSSELL—I have no immure to introduce on the subject of the Irish Church. ENCUMBERED ESTATES. Mr. MONSELL inquired when the Government in tended to proceed with the Bill for the sale of encum bered estates. Lord J. RUSSELL believed that the Bill was about to go into Committee in the House of Lords. As soon as it passed the House of Lords it would be pro ceeded with in that House. GRAND JURIES. Mr. NIONSELL inquired when a measure would be introduced for the amendment of the grand jury laws. Lord J. RUSSE LL said that Bill had not been intro duced. He had already stated, and he would repeat it again, that ho saw no advantage in introducing ten or twelve Bills, when only two or three could be passed. If he saw a reasonable prospect of proceeding with the Bill he should be glad to proceed with it during the present session. JOI NT- STOCK COMPANIES. Mr. THORNELY said a Bill was introduced some time ago to enable joint-stock companies to wind up their affairs. The Noble Lord bad not stated any day when that Bill would be brought forward; and therefore, he wished to know when it was likely the Government would be enabled to proceed with it, as the Bill had caused great anxiety, especially in the north of England? Mr. LABOUCHERE could not fix a day when he should proceed with the Bill. He was quite aware of the anxiety which the measure had created in the minds of those residing in that part of the country with which his Hon. Friend was connected. He would endeavour to proceed with it the first op portunity that might present itself after Easter. (LEFT SITTING.)

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE EASTERN COUNTIES GOODS STATION, STIOREDITCII.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on view of the body of John Trade, aged thirty, a labourer, in the employment of the Eastern Counties Railway. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, about twelve o'clock at night on Wednesday week, was en gaged at the goods station Hare-street, in raising a carriage on a platform from the ground to the railway, he was in the act of moving the carriage, with assist ance, on the " metals," when his right hand lost its hold of the buffer, in consequence of which his left foot was caught by the wheel of the vehicle, and was dreadfully crushed. He was taken to the London Hospital, ampu tation was performed, and he 'died from lock-jaw on Saturday la s t, chloroform being used. The operation lasted above an hour, lock-jaw being .stated to b e the effect of the laceration.—Verdict, " Accidental death." FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, APRIL 17, 1848.

Lord Chancellor Lords Lyndhurst Lords Campbell Earls Zetland Brougham Sudeley Strafford Denman Milford. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Monday the 17th was a debate of con siderable interest, on the reduction of the duties ou foreign copper. The Protectionists, joined with a number of the Cornish Members, put the question on the old footing, of the injury done to British industry by the introduction of .52,000 tons of foreign copper. It is wonderful to me, that nobody stood up to say, that these 52,000 tons were just as much the produc tion of British industry, as any that are raised in Cornwall. For is not the fact, that you al Bradford, or your neighbours at Leeds, make this copper when you make what it is got in exchange for, as truly as if it dribbled out from one end of your machines ? And are you not as good as Cornish men, and. have as much right to live ? This then is a leadinF point for reply ; and why the manufacturing interest should not make this answer as often as the Protec tionists put forward the other proposition, is a secret I cannot penetrate. All absurdities require a per severing opposition before they are dropped from the thoughts and conversation of the public. To this day men look blank when the salt is spilled, and shiver when a coffin bounces from the fire. And it is only because a set has been made against such follies, that they.have lost the hold they had upon our forefathers. Protection to British industry, must in the same way be talked down into the class of old wives' theories. Mr. Gladstone evidently wished to carry the matter further, and to institute an inquiry into the effect of what is called the " nominal duty." And here I cannot help believing that he is diving into matter of great importance to the commercial classes. If the leaders of trade and commerce would set themselves nominalbeing n vi d i t h h n w w h i t a t p i e s r a t p e e s t t i n n n g to calcul a t e th e actual detriment to them arising from c m a 1 u l e n d d e r a lY the circumstances of competition with other countries, I cannot help thinking they would be surprised by the result. And another point to which I wish they would direct their attention, is the glibness with which when a duty is to be laid to their disadvant age , it is talked of as if d ut i es were pure presents from heaven to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and nobody paid them. Surely the fact that when a duty is paid, somebody pays it, is a reason why it should not he spoken of as an unbalanced good, or be con sidered as anything else than laWinful sacrifice to a melancholy necessity. Tuesday was principally notable by the conclusion of the " Crown and Go‘ernment Security" Bill; which was carried through its last stage in the Com mons with a mi,jority of 295 against 40. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERitONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, April 19, 1848. BEWDLEY ELECTION. BEWDLEY, TUESDAY, HALF PANT 1 P.M.—The poll commei:ced this mornii4 T , at eight o'clock, and has con tinned with s pirit up to this time. Lord Mandevihe's friends rushed early to the poll, and at ten o'clock he had a majority of nearly one hall, the numbers being as follow: M an , !e v ille (Conservati% e) Ly ttel ton ( Liberal) Majority The friends of the Hon. S. Lyttelton now came to the poll, and reduced the majority a trifle, so that at twelve o'clock the poll stood thus:— Mandeville Lyttelton 144 116 Majority 2B During the next hour only ten were polled at Bewd ley, and these diminished the majority of Lord Man devillo by two, but the return from Stourport had not been received. The numbers at a quarter past one o'clock were— • Mandeville Lyttelton Majority for Mandeville The majority is too great to admit of its being over come at this late hour. The numbers polled at the last election were—for Mr. Ireland (Conservative), 160; for Sir Thomas Winnington, 158. The number of electors on the register is about the same as last year. THE BRAZILS. LIVERPOOL, TOESDAT.—By the Esther Ann, arrived at this port, commercial accounts from Pernambuco to the 18th of March have been received. Sugar—The receipts from the interior have been c la h rge. In the ~ckedtheusue aa r i l y partamoun amount ithe business; month want of money btltisinee then favourable ad vices from Rio .Janeiro have tended to sup port prices, and many holders have made considerable shipments to that port, paying the high freight of 40s. per ton. The quotations for sugar in bags are 18s. Bd. to 20s. 11d. for four to first quality white, and at 13s. for muscovado; cases are but little demanded, but small sales were effected at 18s. Id. for four best whites, and at 115. 7d. for first quality muscovado. Several holders, however, refused to sell except at higher rates. Cotton—Little change can be noticed in this article. The receipts have been small, but owing to the reduction in freight, and four or five vessels loading for Liverpool, the rates are a shade higher, viz., 4 9-10 d. to 10d. Hides ruled from 20. to 3d. per lb. Freights ruled at 375. 63. per ton, and per lb. for cotton to Liverpool. The quotation to Channel for orders is 605., and 10s. more to the Continent, as far as IlLnaburgh. Business in exchange has been limited, at Vid. to 274 d. on England. The Penguin packet, from Falmouth, arrived at Rio on the 15th of February. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from the Governors of the Cape of GoOd Hope and South Australia. CITY OF LONDON COMMISSION OF SERBBS.—At a court held yesterday, Deputy Peacock in the chair, a resolution was adopted, on the motion of Deputy Harris, seconded by Mr. Kemp, and supported by Alderman Lawrence and other members, that application should be made to the Secretary to the Health of Towns Asso ciation for the names of the persons who had made state ments with respect to the sanitary condition of the city of London, in which they affirmed that the authorities had never made any suggestions for the adoption of com plete sanitary arrangements, and stated that, from 1838 unneces sarily sacrificed by the neglect of proper sanitary to 1844, the lives of 58,000 children had been unneces errys,osnir o Th omas Baring, i r o f F. pre cautions.

A meeting of this company was held yesterday, at their offices in White Lion Court, Cornhill, Mr. Isaac Solly, in the chair, when a somewhat voluminous report of the proceedings of the company was laid before the meeting from which it appeared that the trade of the canal had increased considerably during the past year. The di rectors recommended a call Of 21. a share, in order to meet an extra expenditure for sustaining walls and dock outlay of 2,265/. It being arranged that the half of this call must be made on the 10th of May, and the other half in the course of the mouth, the meeting separated.
