PHE CLOCK and the MART. The Mart of E. MOSES and SON with its Stock, May in many respects be compared to a clock ; And I think I can make it appear in my rhyme, That the click-mart in question keeps very good time. It is never too fast, and is never too slow, And though never wound up, it continues to go. And bringing a well-known expression to bear, The trade is conducted like One o'clock there. While MOSES and SON, In their capital stock, flays proved very clearly they know what's o'clock. E. MOSES and SON have attained a renown, As two heavy weights which can ne'er be run down ; And their dress, which in all points is made to your liking, Has ever been viewed as remarkably striking; And thousands by cheapness and quality won, Are striking good bargains with MOSES and SON. The very low figures tempt people to buy, And the very good hands make the Mart to rank high. Thus the Warehouse of MOSES and SON with its stock, Has in many respects been compared to a clock; And I now think it better to wind up the rhyme, With the hope that the reader will ask what's the time. N.B.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique, and the workmanship and materials are suck as to command univer sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo derate.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This theatre was opened last evening for one night,and was honoured by a state v i s i t from her M ajesty, the occasion being th e b ene fi t of Mr. Macready, :and his last appearance pre v i ous to h i s departure for America.. The performances cons i ste d of the first three acts of Henry VIII., ending w i t h t h e death o f Cardinal Wolsey. Mr. Macready having in this, as in so maw) , other previous instances, sacrificed William Shakspeare to William Macready, and glorified the actor at the ex.- Ponse of the poet. In the present instance he was un just not only to the mighty dead, but to the living also, inasmuch as he deprived Miss Cushman, who enacted the part of Queen Katherine, of the opportunity of ap• peering in her great scene in the fourth act. The . comedy of the Jeabus Wife followed, and of course Colman was treated as Shakspere had been. cut down for the g l or ifi cat i on of the " great tragedian." The theatre was fitted up as it is on occasions when her Majesty honours it with a state visit, On the arrival of her Majesty and Prince Albert the curtain rose, and the National Anthem was sung by Mr. 13raham, Mr. Whit. worth, Miss Rainforth, and the Misses Williams. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager occupied the pro scenium box opposite the state box of her Majesty. The cheering which followed the con clusion of the National Anthem was enthusi astic, but it was followed by sounds of discord and calls for the manager, which rendered the first scene of the play inaudible. At the opening of the second scene —the council chamber —the pl ay was b roug ht fairly to a stand-still, by reason of the uproar, and Mr. Macready having spoken to Mr. Leigh Murray, the latter went off the stage to communicate, as we supposed, with some members of her Majesty's suite, and to learn her plea sure. This movement was received with applause by the body of the house, and on Mr. Murray's return, Mr. Macready, rising from his seat, bowed to her Ma jesty, and then to the audience, and spoke nearly as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen,—Having obtained permission to address you, I beg to state that I have, I believe, now ascertained the cause of this disturbance, namely, that the gallery is too full.—(llear, hear.) In the course of my life it has been my happy lot to have received many favours from you, but you will add greatly to them, if any person who has paid for admission, and feels incon venienced, will leave the theatre and take back his money."

It is needless to say that the house was crowded in every part. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The season finished last night with the comedy of The Rivals, the interlude of the Pas de Fascination, and the farce of Spring Gardens. The pieces went off with great spirit. At the end of the comedy Mr. Web ster appeared before the curtain, and addressed the audience as follows : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—This being the terminating night of the season, I am bound in gratitude, as the lessee of the little theatre in the Haymarket, to thank those who have patronised me; Ido so most sincerely, but my valedictory address cannot be of that cheering character you have been wont to listen to during the many years I have had the honour of catering for your amusement. I assure you, ladies and gentlemen, I regret this the more on the account of othors than myself, your previous encouragement having enabled mo to brave the battle and the breeze' with the standard British drama, that I have nailed to my fortunes, arid with which I will stand the hazard of the die.' The statement at the head of my bill, that the increase of foreign amusements compels me to close is a melancholy fact, founded upon studious observations, and in calling attention to this fact, by petition and otherwise, I humbly conceive I have but done my duty to the public, and the many hundred individuals who will consequently be deprived of the means of earning their livelihood. This course has been termed illiberal. I can only aver that I had not the remotest intention of being so, but merely looked to the interests of the -higher order of our art, and that I was acting justly by its professors. I am likewise informed, that my houses having been always full (a most welcome sound to manegerial ears) I have no right to complain. Even if this were so, it would be very selfish in me, I presume, to know of an evil existing detrimental to my profession, and because I am doing well to say it does not affect me. But, unfortunately, my bank book, showing a deficit, since January, 1847, of nearly eight thousand pounds, tells me a very different tale; proving, too, that the want of aristocratic patronage is true, and that their visits here must have been like those of angels upon earth, few and far be tween. Free trade has been also held to be against me, but I am so obtuse that I cannot comprehend how its principle can apply to acting, where the workman has nothing tangible to vend, his stock being purely ima gination, and whose master cannot open a shop or place an article in his window without a special license, which, when granted, may be withdrawn at will, and without the slightest :compensation.: If this be free trade, it is for us a principle without interest. In my prayer to the Legislature to restrict the increase of foreign amuse ments, I beg it might be distinctly understood that I did not allude to the French Theatre, so ably conducted by Mr. Mitchell, nor her Majesty's Theatre, imme diately opposite, which the proprietor could inform you are more than sufficient for the establishment of a second Italian Theatre, which has caused such an overwhelming influx of foreign musical talent, I only fear that in the fashionable vortex of operas and concerts, the round of which continue day and night, the English drama will be absorbed and your humble servant into the bargain. If the taste for the Italian lyrical drama, as it is at present so inimitably rendered, were pure, I would bow with all submission ; but feeling how small must be the number who can really appreciate the perfection they throng to bear, lam the first to cry Hold, enough.' "I fondly hope, however, that, from late events and the gracious patronage of her Majesty, a reaction in our favour is taking place, and to deserve a consummation so devoutly to be wished, the actors themselves must unite in putting their shoulders to the wheel of fortune. They must eschew that bane of our art, mannerism, and the imitation of it. They must look to nature as their model, to the general effect rather than self aggrandisement, and in th e production of classic plays not to allow the poet to be lost in admiration of the painter. The elevation of the body, and not its extraneous members, is the mark we should aim at, The halcyon days of Garrick, Pritchard, the Kembles. Siddons, Cook, Kean, Young, O'N e il, m ay then return, and the glorious Elizabetha n age of dramatic literature not stand alone in the annals of English history. In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen (for I suppose I am of that stubborn English breed that will not be beaten), I have that confidence in the nationality of this great country, which has stood so majestically erect amid the ruin of empires, that I shall live in the brightest hope of the future, and as, through the more than ordinary disheartenings of my chequered career, still adopt Nil Desperandum as my motto. Ladies and gentlemen, during the recess the theatre will be re-decorated, every thing attempted, as far as my humble ability will allow, to secure your favour; and, until September next, I most respectfully, for myself and the entire company, bid you a grateful adieu." At the conclusion of the address Mr. Webster was Loudly cheered from every part of the house. NEW MUSIC. ITALY. Song. The Poetry and Music by Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Novelle.

NIGHT BALLOON ASCENT.—Yesterday evening a very beautiful ascent was effected by Lieutenant Gale from Cremorne Gardens, in the new royal balloon, con structed for these grounds. It was the first time this elegant machine had been trusted to the boundless re gions of the air at night, hence all was done to render on which was fas tened aeronautic expedition a most brilliant one. Shortly before ten o'clock the spacious lawn, the balloon fully inflated, and oscillating with the s lightest breeze, became the point of attr act i on. The light and brilliant amber colour of the silk of whi c h the balloon is composed rendered it plainly v i s ib le, and caused it to stand out in bold relief from t h e dark foilage of the numerous t rees which s urrounded it. Attached to the car, and reaching to a considerabl e distance below the body of t he b alloon, w as a stout framework, to which were fastened the various fire works to be discharged when it reached a certain alti tude; the distanc e between the car and the fram ewor k was sufficiently ample to prevent any d angerous conse quences arising from the sparks atte n dant on th e dis charge of the feu dartifi All ce. nee dful preparations having been accomplished , the band performed a li ve l y and appropriate air as signal for the ascent, and the The balloon was permitted to take i ts fli g ht . night was beautifully clear, and the aerial structure going slowly receding from the sight, was long visible to the spectatT . At len gt h , a s i t was a brilliant ray of li g h t s h ot forth from beneath the car, mak in g t he spac e around it p bright as noon-day. This was su ccee ded by a rapid se ries of b eau tif u l) coloured fires , whose rays glitterin g on the sides of the balloon gave it a most fantastical ap pearance. The display concluded with a beautiful shower of fire. The ascent was most cleverly and neatly achieved, and was received with loud cheers, which con tinued long after the object which called them forth had disappeared in the dark distance, The other amusements were then continued , and the evening's en tertainments concluded with the exhibition of the fire work temple. The poor woman, named Ann Davis, who d rowne d her child last Thursday morning, in Manchester, was found on Sunday in a large tub of water behind the house, and of course quite dead. The desperate deter mination of the woman may be conceived, when it is stated that she had to climb nearly twenty feet to get to the water, and, as she was a tall person, and the tub not more than four feet six inches, she had to force herself into a stooping position, and to remain in that state till death ensued. -1 411116eP r,-.1d4 46.06 44610 . 47. ?-e/liao/ (--1 //Zert??7 , ProefC, ,ge llikt44) % ) ;O P 1111 , 1 '‘ • s •0 1 4 ) , •,40 - Do.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em litter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness sod social content. The dowry should not he the only marriage set tlement.

BY SAMUEL LA'MEItT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused . the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subiect. Tkis work contains an accurate and complete account of' the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, their relative conditions in health and disease. and of It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the • medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a marantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

A piece of ground as a site for the proposed building had been obtained at Wood-green, near Tottenham, at a total cost, including legal expenses, of 6031., and it was pro posed to lay th e fi rs t s t one i n th e spring of next year. The total receipts to the present period amounted, de ducting expenses, to 2,174/., which, it was hoped, would remain with th e comm it tee as f un d e d p ro p er ty ; it being confidently expected that the greater part of the sum necessary for the erectio n -I,sool.—might be obtained from other sources.

A variety of statements having been read, and subscriptions announced, the report was agreed to. The meeting soon afterwards separated. FATAL FIRE AT HAMPTON.—On Saturday night, nt half -past t en o ' c l oc k , much alarm was created in the quiet village of Hampton, Middlesex, by a fire breaking out at Thames Cottage, the residence of Elisha Hamick, Esq.

O smond Placey, a fine youth about seven years of age, who was burnt to death before assistance could be rendered. , Th e deceased was on a visit at Mr. Hamick s, and th e servant girl, after putting him to bed, imprudently left a lighted candle in the room, which is supposed to hav e i gn i ted the bed curtains or some ' other light material.

AN INTRUDER ON SEA BATHERS.—A few days ago, as one of the fishermen of Hunstanton, Norfolk, was employed catching crabs near the shore of that watering place, he observed something of a most formidable size approaching him in the water. The tide was receding, and the man, who was without companions, was within fifty yards of the shore, but much above the waist in the sea, when nothing daunted, he struck a severe blow at his new acquaintance, which he soon discovered to be a shark! A replier combat ensued, the man aiming heavy blows at the head of the fish, and the latter fighting with his tail, with which he struck the fisherman two or three times severely on the chest. The man, fortunately for himself, never lost his footing, his presence of mind, or his strength, and ultimately succeeded in capturing the monster. The tide continuing to ebb, the shark was left on the dry sands, where the old man was seen standing, with much satisfaction, over his captured enemy. The shark measured nine feet in length, and was presumed to weigh about 30 stone. The spot on which it was first seen was close to the place frequented by bathers, a machine having on that day frequently conveyed parties there. •44.1 4,, JULY 11 1848. atim THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC IN STITUTION. On Thursday evening we visited this celebrated and admirable establishment. In all those depart ments for which it has already obtained a name of great eminence,' it still excels any other institution of a similar character. The mechanical curiosities arranged in the large room, the model steam-engine, the model steam-vessels, the diving-bell, the statuary, the glass-blower, the glass-spinner, the seal-cutter— all attracted their share of attention from the nume rous visitors to the Polytechnic. In addition, how ever, to those objects of interest, in addition to the beautiful dissolving views explained by Professor Bachhoffner, and the admirable chemical lectures delivered by Dr. Ryan, there is at present one feature in the exhibition which, from its singularity, its novelty, and its extraordinary nature, monopolized the principal share of our observation. We allude to the lectures now being delivered every day by Mr. Isharn Baggs on the Phenomena of Thunder-storms and the Cause of Lightning. From the remarkable character of the discoveries which have originated these lectures on electricity it was essential to convey the facts to the public as rapidly as possible, and to this end the re marks of hlr. Baggs are necessarily of a:very prelimi nary and introductory kind. Speedily, however, as we understand, it is the intention of the lecturer to extend his views upon this wonderful science in a series of lectures more calculated to explain the importance of those discoveries, by which he has added to the reve lations made by Professor Faraday. On Thursday evening we witnessed a variety of very novel and beau tiful experiments, in illustration of the theorem pro pounded by Mr. Baggs, and among these we must par ticularize a most ingenious little instrument, invented by that gentleman himself, to carry off the superfluous electricity when charging a battery, and by that means preventing the possibility of bursting the Ley den jars, just as the safety-valve of a;steam-engine, in carrying off the superfluous steam, prevents the possi bility of the bursting of the boiler. The exordium of the lecture was devoted to the consideration of the bounteous and universal distribution of electricity throughout the universe, that subtle force being evolved by the smallest amount of friction even among the material atoms of the creation—by the movement of a grain of dust, or by the falling of a leaf in autumn. The whole discourse was of a very popular character, and abounded in anecdote. Mr. Baggs throughout displays his familiarity with the secrets of natural philosophy, and above all reveals the mastery which he has acquired over this abstruse and (even now) merely nascent science. His manner of delivery is peculiarly agreeable, and his language at all times scholarly, and occasionally rising into eloquence, —technicalities o f scientific a s admirably ir ei an b g ly matters eithert o adapted an nv avoided id e d unscientificconveyenti a ;entirely, ya doirt,oknow ledgeriyf employed, immediately explained. Notwithstanding the heat of the weather, the lecture-room was crowded, and those who were present appeared to appreciate the new attraction which has been thus added to the many already crowded together in the Polytechnic Institution. lIAMBURGH MAIL. rTAMBURGII BOURSE, JULY 7.—Business in exchanges was very flat.

Thorburn and Co., of Glasgow, states that the iron market has been more active this week than for a considerable time past. In consequence of the improvement in the money and share market, , combined with the prospect of the resumption of imme diate shipments to the continent, an advance of fully 2s. per ton has been established since the opening of the week. Large purchases were made at 445. 6d., 455. 6d., and 465. net cash for all Nos. The price is firm at 465. 'or mixed Nos., and 465. 6d. for all No. 1, net cash, in a few days. TIIT SOUTH DETON RAILWAY. PLYMOUTH, JULY 9.—During the past week, the electric telegraph has been completed on the line t o Lairs, and it is now in full operation. The directors have just completed the purchase of nearly three acres of land behind Devon shire -terrace, in Union-street, at present in the occupa tion of Mr. W. Rendle, and belonging to Mr. Joseph Whiteford, for the purpose of their station in Plymouth. This quantity which they have now purchased, added to that on the opposite side of Union-road, lately be longing to Colonel Elliot, will give them about seven acres for their terminus. The works from Lairs, which is two miles from Plymouth, will probably be resumed within a few d a y s , an d great efforts are to be made forthwith to get the station completed to Plymouth. LEEDS, DEWSBURY, AND MANCHESTER RAII, WAY.—This great undertaking is nearly complete. The directors, contractors, engineers. and several of their friends, had an excursion over the line from its junction with the Lancashire and Yorkshire, at the Dewsbury end, to the te rm i nus : at Leeds, on Thursday last. The train started from the Dewsbury s t at i on, a b out half past nine o'clockin the morning, and consisted of four of the company's beautiful new c arr i ages, and a most powerful engine, driven by Mr. Mole ; after proceeding to Leeds, where some more of the directors joined the company, the train was again set in motion, and at every viaduct, brid ge , or other work of importance, the direc tors, engineers, and other friends alighted to inspect them. The whole is in such a forward state, and has been , erected so su b stantially, after the chaste designs furnished, that in a fortnight it is expected to be ready fur passenger traffic. After the inspection, and with which every one seemed perfectly satisfied, the com pany, to the numb er of f i fty, sat down to partake of a cold collation set out on t h e platform of the Dewsbury station, J. Gott, tEsq., pr es idi ng, who was supported on his right and :left by his brother directors. Mr. Bott, the secretary occupied the vice-chair. The viands, wines, and dessert were from the stores of Mr. Walkington, of the Royal Hotel, and gave the greatest satisfaction. Amongst the toasts proposed were " Success to the Leeds and Dewsbury Railway," " The Queen," " The Contractors and Engineers," " The Directors," " The Sub Contractors and Labourers." The day being re markably fine, every one appeared to enjoy the excur sion. The line, for its length, is perhaps the most remarkable of any in the kingdom, passing through a densely populated district, and from the nature of the country presenting so many and such different pic turesque views. The Vale of Calder, the ruins of How- Icy, the Kirkstall grounds, the towns of Dewsbury, Batley, Morley, Churwell, and a view of Leeds, un equalled on any of the other lines approaching that im p irtant town. The extensive viaducts—the lofty and wide spreading bridges—the tremendous embankments —the deep cuttings through very fine beds of stone— and last, not least, the great tunnel at Morley, reflect the greatest credit upon those who designed and those who have executed the work.—Halifax Guardian. MEETING OF DEPUTIES FROM THE DISSENTERS OF THE METROPOLIS.—The half-yearly meeting of the deputies appointed by the Dissenters of the metropolis for the purpo s e o f wa t c hi ng th e general interests of that body, was held yesterday, at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry. Mr. J. R. Mills, M.P., was in the chair. The chairman explained that Mr. Osborne, to whom the question of the abolition of c h urc h- rates had beenin trusted, and who had intended to bring it forward in the House of Commons this session, found it necessary, in consequence of the illness of Mrs. Osborne, to leave town for six weeks, and that he had since found that an open day for the discussion of the subject could not be secured till too late a period to leave any hope of serviceably agitating it during the present sitting of Parliament. It had, therefore, been deter m i ne d to d efer the discussion till next session. A petition against church-rates, for the purpose of enabling Mr. Osborne to call the attention of Government to his intention of introducing the ques tion early in the ensuing session, was unanimously agreed to. A petition was next passed against the 56th clause of the Health of Towns Bill. This clause would, it was stated, enable the local boards, should they be so disposed, to exercise, as an instrument of oppression, the power proposed to be given to them as respects the erection of chapels and schools. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. FOUR PERSONS POISONED.—Jane Kemp, residing at Midhurst, in Sussex, with her husband, mother, and sister, a few nights back pr e p are d a supper, of which they all partook. The meal consisted of pork, cabbage, and bacon. They had barely finished the meal when most alarming symptoms were perceptible, the whole family being seized with violent retching and excru ciating pains. Medical assistance was obtained, but the unfortunate female expired. The other three sufferers, though still very ill, are recovering. An inquest has been commenced on the body, and after the above facts_ were sworn to in evidence, th e C oroner sa id i t woYl be impossible to conclude the i nqu i ry at present.h He considered that an an a ly s i s o f t h e contents of f ld t e de ceased stomach should be m a d e , w hi c h allow time for the f u ll r ecovery o f t h e ot h er t h r ee sufferers. tthe The jury a c q u i esce d i n t h e recommendation,he deceased, o Coroner, an d t h e i nquest was a dj ourne d. 1 would who was hi g hl y respecte d , had b een married only a few months. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO 7 BREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. There was a fair demand. The sales were 5,060 to 6,000 bales. Railway Shares had been very quiet, and rather flat. The accounts received from Paris are not considered to be very satisfactory, as increased vigilance is shown to be indispensable on the part of the authorities, such is the lawless character of the red republicans. The doubt thrown upon the conclusion of the armistice between Germany and Denmark, or rather with respect to its probable ratification, has also excited rather an un favourable impression. There is an arrival from the Cape of Good Hope, but it only brings intermediate dates. The co-operation of our colonial possessions in the free-trade policy which we are endeavouring to carry out is so important, that it cannot but be matter of the highest gratification to know that the Quebec Board of Trade is decidedly in favour of an alteration in the navigation-laws, fully comprehending the great advantage that must there by accrue to Canada. A memorial has been adopted by the Quebec merchants, and came to hand by the America steamer. It is addressed to the Queen in Council, and states, among other things, " that a chain of ship canals connecting the navigable waters of the river St. Lawrence and the great lakes of Canada is ;now completed, whereby the produce of the most fertile parts of this province and of the Western States of the American Union may be transpotted to the ocean cheaper than by any other route ; that these canals have been constructed at an immense expenditure of capital, raised under the liberal guaran tee of the Imperial Government, and in connexion with similar improvements in the United States, open up an uninterrupted inland navigation from Quebec to New Orleans, a distance of more than four thousand miles, with ramifications extending far into all the intervening territory. " That in the opinion of your Majesty's petitioners, el that is now wanting to render the St. Lawrence the out let, and Quebec the depot, of a large portion of the vast and varied productions of the fertile regions rendered accessible by this unequalled internal navigation, is to throw it open without restriction to the ships and vessels of all nations, allowing them during the pleasure of your Majesty freely to carry to the ports of this province the produce of their own or any other country, and to take thence cargoes as well to, the United Kingdom and its possessions as to any other part of the world. " That your Majesty's petitioners firmly believe that the merchants, ship-owners, and ship-builders of Canada have no cause to fear the competition of foreigners on fair and equal terms, in either external or internal navigation. In the former they already success tethfilouenv,l,oslcyiload%riecaharobelanaslrteeipaofroennetr,dseeumlwilataskyt.h their neighbours even in their own ports, and in the latter your Majesty's petitioners feel Unitedtt ohe the e y o fKr u e r i en Agldaojme navigations ya and d i persuaded that such competition would lead to still more your esb Majesty's ecognrnaecci oteuds graciously p therewith, petitioners e a pleased ed or or humbl y recommendwhich p p r r a e y . takingot s f p t the s e to Parliament to remove all restrictions that now exist abroad,t . Lawrence, so with a s vent the free carriage of goods by sea to and from the this colony, is, concerned, subject to such control by your Majesty in Council as may be necessary." The Sugar Duties Bill is now considered to be as good as passed, and the trade will be relieved from further suspense. Her Majesty's ship Collingwood, from South America, does not bring so much specie as was reported. The amount is 1,000,000 dollars. eriisrvieeomrnsisses into your Royal The Public Securiiies have been steady to-day, with a moderate business doing.
