reductions almost invariably went into the p-ckets'of the dealers. He was glad the other side had found this out. The Chancelior of the Exchequer knew it well. He dare not carry his principles further.—(Oh ! and laughter.) He challenged him to do so.—(Renewed laughter.) He knew better. If he did, he was well aware that his Bills would fall to a discount in no time. An Hon. Member said, if tea was cheaper a poor man would not - only buy more tea, but he would Luy more sugar. But where was the money to come from ? Mr. CARDWELL replied. He thanked the House for the good-humoured way in whieh the subject had been treated. He congratulated the Chancellor of the Exchequer, not upon his arguments, but upon the sup port he had received. lie congratulated him upon the support of the Noble Lord, of the Hon. Gentleman who nad that night issued his royal mandate upon the sub ect, and, more than all, upon the support of the Hon. Member for Salford, rarely an eloquent speaker in that House, and to-night, for the first time, an advocate of taxation.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was then agreed to. DUBLIN WATER. Mr. REYNOLDS moved that the older mado on the 7th of February for certain returns, under the head of '• Dublin Water," be discharged, the returns having been already made.

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, a s i s s h own i n Ike ghastly statistics of our tables. of mortality, especially in the unobstructed ravages of influenza and bronchitis. An opening is again -afforded to the Legislature for the redemption of its reputation as the great vehicle of national hulDßalty. GOD grant the efforts of the Govern ment may not prove as fruitless as they have done-hitherto? There is, if the popular representa fives:'-ivi;l only cogitate over the matter seriously, there is no substantial ground for objection to the Bill 'brought forward last evening by the Noble Viscount, the Chief Commissioner of her ...MAJESTY'S Woods and Fore:As. No sane man could deny the necessity for a legislative exertion of this character. If ever there was unanimity upon one particular in any ago, or in any country, upon a-question of social. innevan there is an universal unanimity upon 0.-. ls of the sanitary improvements required in England. All party-feeling bows down together before the stupen- THE SUN, dous majesty of Deaern.: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 aggrevated 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 PBere Lor,4 MoRPErn 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 commercially —community of health as well as com munity of enterprise. That this is precisely the spirit in which this remarkable subject is beginning to be regarded in Parliament, was testified last evening by the objections raised against the measure as conceived by her 111AJEiTY'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 DUNCAN quarrels with it I.Y cause it does not provide in any manner for the abolition of the window-tax : Mr. llmisataN because there is no especial provision against the continuance of intern:ural interment : and Colonel SIBTIIORP 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, these objects did not appear to be sufficiently numerous. Lord Moßresrit must therefore he solaced, under all circumstances, by this reflection, that whatever opposition is raised to his favourite project, it will not he as to quality, but solely and entirely as to quantity. It is so good, in south, that Members want more of it ; ju , t as a child may long to surfeit itself with plum-pudding, without ail' 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 MORPETII and his colleagues have acted with peculiar sagacity. 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 whi.:ll 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 bald 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 ccrwapier to provide house drains; to cleanse and water strtets ; to appoint or contract with scavengers ; to cleanse, cover, or fill up offensive ditches ; to keep a register of slaughter-houses; to keep a register of certain lo !ging-houses ; 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 1 y Lord Moarrrit—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 condition 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 erery person anxious for the legitimate extension of trade and the removal of the restrictions affecting our commerce with other lands. There are many consideraticns 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 expssed 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 ter. 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 bhe 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 certainly adduced sufficient reasons for the speedy reduction of the duty. The strongest expectation had been formed with respect to the prospects opened to our merc h ants an d manufacturer. `)y the establish ment of free intercourse with the 'lines° empire. eo considerably A new ma r k e t was forme d , w hi c h pi ; n i se d to en hance deraobultt y le our export trade, to afford anadditional A to the products of our national ind ustry. population amounting to three-eighths o f the entireaud. t population of the globe became our customers, 13,, w. was impossible to say how far the trade might extended. tthi l s ' c h o e ui g it r r e y at ; bulk of that trade has hitherto fallen o i riv a l s anx i ous to fiscal regula tions, we have active and energetic sacrifice advantages iahich benefit by our over s ig h t s and impolitic by which we mi g ht might never be regaimA. If nearly four-fifths of the value of the goods im p orted into China hav e 'been received by British vessels, it should not be f orgotten that no lees 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 change places with us, and to obtain the trade which we shall have lost by our Iv just, and inequitable system of taxation. - The Committee have reported that "t':• ~.: is but one limit t o our trade w i th China," and that is " the lamount 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 gill 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 arid cottons, were we enabled to take their produce in return, especially after having obtained the legaliza tion of the opium trade." He further states, and in this he is borne out by Sir John Davis, by le - hom 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 farmer 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 greet 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 tivo pounds of sugar, we should receive an equivalent fur 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 tile most legitimate manner. The Criaecaerain of the EXCHEQUER does not deny that the loss from the desired reduction in the duty from 2s. 21i. to Is. per pound would be but a temporary one. The Right Hon. Baronet said, "I have not the least doubt that if we could lower the price of tea in this country the consumption would 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, th:.t the result of this would be to benefit the consumers, the manufacturers, and the shipowners of this country. Nor am I afraid that the less of revenue would not in time be made up by the increased consumption of tea." After these admis sions, involving the whole question, we cannot con ceive it possible that the Right Hon. Gentleman can intend to persevere in the present s): stem—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 Narr.us 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 tion !' 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 wrs not expected that he would grant a constitution. " Naples is the brightest conquest . of the superio r mind of Prus IX. The accession of this kingdom to the Progressist party, assures the triumph of the Italian cause. Up 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, but now such an apprehension would not be justified. Had King FERDINAND felt sufficient confidence to depend upon Austria, he would not hare 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 fur 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 ! " It is reported that the King of NAPLES, in alluding to the Reformer princes of Italy, has plainly said, Hanno spiny me, io springer° km.' (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 SCHWARTZENBERG, 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 CHARLES ALBERT 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. Tlladrid papers of the 4th have arrived. The Herald°, 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 ESPARTERO 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 HIS EXCELLENCY DON DALDOMERO 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-animated the public spirit, being communicated 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 firmest supporter of the constitutional throne. " illustrious warrior ! The loyal Barcelonese congratulate themselves on eo 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 wkich impelled the patriotic festivals with which you well remember we received you in this city on to - 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 protecti n g g eni us of the national liberty and indqiendence. " Barcelona, Jan. 2G, 1 18."

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The discu , sion on the paragraph of the Address relating to the Reform banquets terminated on ‘Vednesdny in a scene of confusion which reminds one of the scenes in the Chamber during the latter days of the Villele Ministry and during the whol LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, lB4B , continuance of that of POLIGNAC and his colleagues. M. HEBHRT, 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 Reform banquets, being held. Upon this de claration being made, M. ODILLON BARROT, from his place exclaimed, " POLIGNAC and PETRONNET 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. HEBERT, pale with rage, exclaimed, " Whatever violence may be used towards my person," and was proceeding, when he was inter rupted by cries of " You are 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 we :pons 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 arc 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 71?(IMC and left the chamber. It appears from the Con titutionnel that the Opposition have determined to take their stand on this question. "A great struggle," says the Constitutionnel,"has corn 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 menthers of the Opposition will, it is said, at tend the Reform banquet of the 12:h arrondissement, and if they are prevented by the Executive from entering the banquet-room, they will go to the Chambers and 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 o► 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. Abbe, who in the course of it took occasion warmly to eulogise the Duke of WELLING TON and:Sir ROBERT PEEL for the conduct they pur sued in introducing the Catholic Emancipation Bill in 1829. The Constitutionnel announces that the maritime anthorities of Toulon had been directed to send to Naples ail the steamers they could dispense with. The Vauban, Pingoin, and Vedette had already sailed 1 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 Prcsse, 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 Cz IRTORYSKI has written to the Debats 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 which,' 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 1805, 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 II;lland), 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 R ev . 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, be 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 w'as also i President of many of our charitable nstitutions, to the funds of which he was a munificent contributor. The Church has lost a devout and sincere member i n his Grace, who, since he has occupied the exalted station of Primate, had the fortune to gain the esteem and regard of all classes. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was considerable firmness. Sales, 6,000 bales, including 1,000 bales of American on speculation. The rise in American sorts since Friday last has been id. per lb. Railway Shares had been firm but without much bad ness doing. Although it is understood that the extent of the orders for 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 vi.lue 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 ferns 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 particalar 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 discussion thereat will prove interesting. A falling off in traffic last 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" nho propagated so industriously reports directly contrary to the truth, we may hope that they will be traced. The Funds are very quiet, but have not gone much flatter upon the Paris :le ws. Consols have been at 89 to for present transfer, and at 89 1 1 4 for the account day. Bank Stock is worth 200 to 202.

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, and Monday's quotations W 'heat sold difficulty supported. The best parce ls of foreign heat sold in retail at full prices, but the middling and in'erior kinds might have boon purchased on somewhat easier terms. Since Mor:day no fresh Barley has come to hand; so little was doing in that article to-day that prices wen almost nominal. The best Ware Malt was held at pre vious quotations. Other kinds were the turn lower. Oats. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, were a mere dru ; .,!. In Flour very little was doing. English ...... ..... Foreigu ARRIVALS. Wheat.

For the time of year, the supply of Beasts on offer, this Teeming., was very moderate, but, comparatively speaking, of fair average quality. The primest Scots, &c., were mostly disposed uf, at Monday's quotations; but all other kinds were a slow sale, and, in some inAtanees, the quotations had a downward tendency. With Foreign stock, we were again scantily 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 5e 2d to 5s 4d per 8 !bs. Calves, the supply of which was small, were in fair request, and prices were well supported. Pigs wore a slow sale, but not cheaper.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (liefbre Mr. Second7ry POTTER.) NEAL V. DELL.—BILL DISCOUNTING. This was an action by plaintiff as indorser against defendant as the drawer to recover the sum of 51. 9s. on a bill of exchange. 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 20/. bill, and the latter said he would if plaintiff liked to take the bill in question in part, which was agreed to, and tte bill was handed over to plaintiff. Before they parted plaintiff said he 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 iiew of showing this. The Learned SECONDARY said the question was whether the indonement and delivery was bona fide. The mere signature did not prove that.

CLERKENWELL.—( THIS DAY.) Two boys, the eldest named Sleet, about thirteen years old, and the younger, Wiltshire, about twelve, were charged before Mr. Combs with attempting to steal, and with loitering in Brick-lane, St. Luke's, with intent to commit a felony. Mr. Adolphus D'Eseury 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 appeared to 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, sad 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 was only so recently as the 26th of last, month the prisoner Sleet was committed to prison for seven days from this court for a larceny. They were committed to prison for two months, with hard labour. ANNIVERSARY OF THE QUEeN ' S MARRIAGE.—.
