The market was heavy. In Railway Shares there was no particular alteration, but prices were tending upwards. The public i u t eres t i n C on tinental affairs seems to have !lackened a little within the last two days, probably because the accounts are less exciting, but still there is Much matter for reflection, even apart from politics, * a as to the fi nanc i a l p os iti on o f France and Austria. ...e cannot, at p resent, di scover a n ything favourable in !hs respect, th oug h t h e preservation of tranquillity in Parts is is s ome thi ng at least gained. The commercial league between Holland and Belgium aPpears to b e not yet so advanced as was represented, though it is much to be desired in the interest of both countries that the alliance should be effected. The advises, per Hermann steamer, from New York c onvey no int e lli gence o f s p ec i a l importance, but we do not remember to have seen before certain items from Chili. " By th e Di ar i o d e l a M ar i na, we p e rceive that news had;: e be en rece i ved from Ch i li as l ate as the 29th Decem r' By a decree of the President of the Re p ublic, D. Manuel Bulnes, dated December 23, the extraordinary ses sion of Congress was prorogued, although the affairs which had oceasioned the meeting had not been disposed of. The President believes that under circumstances those affairs could not well be disposed of, and the refore they had better be deferred until next regular session. The Chilian Govern- M ew, by a law of the 16th December, extends the privilege epm I granted to vessels owned in Chili to those thforolgnot ownership. ' The Valparaiso ltlercu,y,' says :a , ' n publishing this law, makes the following remarks, which ',se believe worthy o f the &tacti v.'" of the other States of the neighbouring Con "neat, where an illiberal zeal, and an absurd envy against foreign capital, refuse the assistance of foreign .. me rcantile indu s try.' We remember, says the lfercury, 'to have read an English wor k which show's what places the British capitalists in advance of all others. In America, we have to make another confession; all our industry is stimulated by foreign capital, and, as a consequence of t his truth, we should face in the hands of those capitalists the means of deve :Ping our ind us t r y. H ow t o create a marine has been 9 obj ect of much discussion. Some 'aish to commence with a war, and some w ith a mercantile marine. In our view, it would be better for the Government to r aise b oth at the same time. Our navtgation laws will soon cr eate that gr ea t commerc i a l p ow er called a mercantile marine, which is the base of all national maritime Power. great lines of railroad which had been in con teciplation in Chili had b, en abandoned, on account of the large extent of uninhabited country through which the road would have to pass, and the great expe nse which w ou ld b e incurred in constructing it. ' The P L u eo e P l e of Chili,' remarks the Diario, ' should not for g et t, great example given by the United States i n this class of enterprises. There also there were immense de serts to be crossed in order to connect the centre of Population and riches, Soon after having constructed the railroads, the deserts became populated, and soli tudes were converted into scenes et' active and indus trious life. The true greatness of the spirit of enter prise is not in seeking advantages visible to the vulgar CO,Y but in foreseeing the latent utility of an enter prise, and the consequences which would result from Its execution.' There is, however, in course of con struction another railroad from Coquimbo to the capital." The election for Directors of the Bank of England is ,9" in progress. This is the first time that the h o use l o w has been departed from, consequently some interest is felt f or the result. The Governor and Deputy Go- Yernor, Messrs. Morris and Prescott, have been re elected, and their untiring services well merit the con fidence reposed in them. The Corn Market is dull to-day, at Monday's prices. The dealings in foreign bills of exchange were yes terday again very circumscribed. The Funds have been in the ascendant again to-day, partly on account of the arrangements for the settlement, Which at present looks _Bearish.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. LAM BETH WATERWORKS% Mr. BROTHER lON moved that — lVll. ll'Eyneourt and Mr. Charles Pearson have leave to attend and vote in the Committee on the Lambeth Waterworks Bill, upon their signing the declaration required by the Standing Orders, although such declarations were not delivered to the Committee Clerk before the Chairman had taken the chair. The motion was agreed to after a short discussion. Mr. R. YORK presented a petition from Royston, in Hertfordshire, against the Bill for establishing diplo matic relations with the Court of Rome. Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR presented a petition from the National Convention against the Crown and Goverment Security Bill. Mr. CARDWELL presented a petition from Liver pool, praying for the abolition of the attorney's certifi cate-tax. Mr. BRINES presented a petition from a place in . Yorkshire, p ra) i ng f ur an a l terat i on in the laws of tettlument. Colonel THONIPSON presented a petition from pen si,,ners resident in Glasgow, complaining of the five per cent deductions from their allowances. TIMID READINGS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed: Clifton-bridge Bill. Leicester hire Lunatic Asylum Bill. Magdalen Ho,pital Act Amendment Bill. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS. The following reports were considered and agreed to: —Dover Landing-Pier Bill ; Folkestone Waterworks Bill. SECOND READING. The Manchester Corporation Waterworks Act Amendment Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Lord NE‘S'RY presented two petitions from Newry, pray ing for an alteration in the existing national system of education in Ireland. NOTICES OF MOTION. Lord INGESTRE gave notice that to-morrow he should move for a return of the number of special con stables sworn in, and the extraordinary expenses in curred by the Horse Guards for the purpose of preserving the public peace during the last few days. Captain lI.s.RRIS gave notice of his intention, in Committee, to move the insertion of a clause in the Crown and Government Security Bill. LANDED PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL. The committal of this Bill was postponed. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. In reply to a question from Sir G. GREY, Mr. REYNOLDS said he would postpone the second reading of this Bill in favour of the Crown and Govern ment Security Bill, if the Right Honourable Baronet would consent to strike out of his Bill the words " open and advised speaking." . _ Sir GEORGE GREY intimated that he was not pre pared to enter into such a compromise. Mr. REYNOLDS suggested then that Governme:ut had better consent to the second reading of the Bill, and leave it to be discussed upon going into Cone mittee. Sir G. GREY said he could not consent to the second reading of this Bill without previous discussion. Mr. El ANIILTON put it to his Hon. Friend wheth er, to king at the feeling of the House, he had not better postpone the second reading. Sir R. PEEL also appealed to the Hon. Member to postpone his motion. Mr. REYNOLDS said he would have been justified upon principle in persevering with his motion, but aft; er the appeals made to him from all sides of the House, .he felt that he ought to postpone the second reading of this Bill. Sir GEORGE GREY begged it to be understoo.d, that in stating that he could :not consent to the second na ling of the Bill he did not mean to convey to the House that he was opposed to the Bill. The B ill was one of considerable importance, and he was anxious that it should be fully discussed before . it was read a second time.— (Hear.) Ultimately the second reading was postponed trill Monday next. ALIEN BILL. On the question being put that the Speaker do lea - ve the Chair, for going into Committee on the Crown atttd Government Bill, Mr. OSBORNE rose and said—Sir, I believe I um now in a position to put a question to the Right Ho n. Baronet, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart t meat. I wish to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether it was possible that there could be any truth in the statement that Government were about to_brieg in an Alien Bill? The SPEAKER ruled that the question could not lbe put at this stage of the proceedings. Mr. OSBORNE--Then I give notice, Sir, that oo morrow, on reading the order of the day, I will put a question to the Right Honourable Baronet on tehe subject, and draw the attention of the House to it. CROWN AND GOVERNMENT SECURITY BILL. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON then rose to resist the motion for again going into Committee on this B !le said it would have better become the Right Hon. Bart. who had charge of the Bill, to postpone it for a few days, to give the people an opportunity of saying whether the y were prepared to give up their right of public meeting and public speaking, particularly as the Bill was not intelligible and full of bad grammar and bad a:e B i;sh .—(llear.) True, the fire of revelation had broken out in France, and its warm us bud oprn•A throughout the length and breadth of Europe, and no doubt the Government had become alarmed for the safety of her Majesty's throne. Those, however, who had advised her Majesty to that effect were evil advisers, for her Majesty was beloved amongst all classes of society. But what ground was their for passing this Bill? Were the people disloyal ?—(Hear.) No such thing, and those who accused them of it were open to the charge of vile calumniators.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. 'Baronet who introduced the Bill, read nothing from an English newspaper to justify the provisions of the Bill, but he crossed the Channel, and there he found some violent writing, which certainly did show that an alteration in the law was required.—(Hear, hear.) Was that, however, a sufficient reason why the whole of the United Kingdom should be stigmatised with disloyalty? Look even at the Chartists, who had been so unjustly and unconstitu tionally treated by the Government while in the act of demanding their just rights. Had they done anything to justify the passing of this Bill? The Chartist body was composed of the industrious labourers of the country, and he regretted, the other night to hear the Noble Lord at the head of the Government lauding the middle classes at the expense of the poor hard working men of the country. Let the Noble Lord beware how be set one class against another, or the day would come when the Noble Lord would have cause deeply to regret the course he took on Monday to prevent the working man from giving utterance to his views and feelings.—(Hear, hear.) Why, good God, who were the Chartists that were so much feared? Why they were those intelligent labouring men who had made this country what it was. Let not the House or the Government, then, imagine that they were not re spected and sympathised with by the middle classes. The shopkeepers and manufacturers of the country knew perfectly well that the Chartists were composed of in telligent and industrious men, who well understood the political history of the country, and the day was fast approaching when the wealth of the country would come to their aid. Go where you would there would Chartists be found. They were in fact the bone and muscle, as they were the glory of the country, and go to the army or the navy, the work shop or the factory, there Chartists would be found in thousands who were not represented in that House, and whilst this state of things lasted, he could never consent to the passing of such a Bill as this. — (Hear, hear.) Pass this Bill, and the first step would have been taken to alienate the affections of the people from the Throne; and he therefore called upon the House, if they valued their own safety and the safety of the Crown, they would not pass into a law a measure that was opposed to the spirit of the constitution, and opposed to the rights and privi leges of the people.—(Cheers.) Mr. RALPH OSBORNE said he understood that the Right Honourable Baronet had openly licensed him of having tprompted the Honourable Member for Dublin not to withdraw his motion. Well, he admitted it, and he would tell the House, that he would do all in his power to oppose this unconstitutional Bill.—(Hear.) It struck him very forcibly that the policy of the day was the policy pursued by Mr. Pitt in 1795, with this exception—that the descen dants of those who opposed Mr. Pitt in '95 were now the advocates of his policy.—(Hear, hear.) He suspected that this measure was brought forward to remove the alarm of a frightened aristocracy and panic stricken House of Commons.—(Cheers.) From what he had seen of the temper of the House within the last few years, he was satisfied that the House was prepared to do anything that might be averse to the feelings of the people. In 1795 Mr. Pitt dared not pass such a Bill as this, and was it to be said that in this advanced period of enlightenment they ought to pies a law which should make things in this country worse than they were in Russia? In Russia a man might say any thing provided it did not offend the authorities, but if this Bill passed such a privilege could not be exercised in the country. —(Hear.) It was said this Bill was for the security of the Crown. What security, in the name of common sense, did the Crown want? For his part he felt that the throne never rested firmer upon the affections 00 0f fr tthh?; Crown.—(Hear, but if they shut up the safety valve of the constitution, as it was c a lled, th e y would peril the saf e ty similar Bill e a to r, lie this, a Mr.ln 1 1 7 ,0 9 x 5, s while aid speaking m en were not suffered to speak they would have recourse to more dan ge r ous ex p e di en t s , an d, if the Bill passed, open resistance would be a matter of prudence.—(Hear, hear.) Let then the Government, who no doubt were members of the Fox Club, pause before they passed a Bill like this. Already a feeling had gone abroad that th e p resent system o f forming administrations in this country was rotten at the core, and unless the Government consented to throw overboard " the old woman who appeared to prompt the Cabinet, and brought in measures for improving the condition of the working classes of England an re moving some of the miseries of Ireland, th e r e soon would be a necessity for passing measures for the security of the Crown and . Government of the c oun t ry . —(Hear, hear.) Why, in another place he saw that Government was about to introduce what was called an Alien Bill.—(Cheers.) Hon. Members mightcheer, but be called upon the common sense of the House to the perilous position in which it stood. At the present moment they were reviving all the extinct ,Tory policy r of 1795—inde d, they were going beyond that policy. be. ause they were introducing words into the Bill, which Mr. Pitt never dared to carry.—(Hear, hear.) This Tory policy vi as not confined to the Home Department. It had already spread itself into the Foreign-office. 114 remembered the manner in which the No'ole Lord at the head of that department List rear interfered in the affairs of Portugal, and if he could get an oppertuldty of meddling with the affairs of France he would not let it escape. There was a certain influence at work a hid) would prevent his doing that.—(No, no.) Hon. Members said no, no; but let them read the history of 1795, and there see what influences were at work then.—(Hear, hear.) As the Member of a large and important con stituency he felt it to be his duty to express his abk or renee of the policy which Was about to be pur sued by Government, an d he called upon the Members of that H ouse , w ho had been re• turned by liberal con s ti tuences , not to be carried away by a temporary panic. He called upon the shop keepers of London, not because a few windows had been broken, to sacrifice the essential rights of the Con stitution, but to rally round those honourable men who were prepared to fling from power those liberal Minis ters who had so disgracefully deserted their princip le s. Mr. AGLIONBY sa id h e was prepared to go into Committee, but he should certainly resist to the last the gagging clause. Nlr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, said he could not use language sufficiently strong, not to reprobate, but to regret that the Hon. Member for Dublin bad given way to enable Government t o p rocee d w i t h an unconstitutional Bill. He insist, d that the law us it at present stood was sufficient to protect the Crown. If the Government had rested the passing of this Bill upon what occurred on Monday lust, they oug h t now to w ithdraw it, for the proceedings of Monday fully showed that the people were faithful to the Crown and the Constitution. For merly it was the boast of the Whigs that their measures were opposed by the Tories, but now they gloried in having their Bills backed and guaranteed by the Right lion. Baronet th e M em b er f o r Yarmouth. Th i s system, however, could not last, .and he; prayed the Government to pau se b e f ore they penned the loyalty of the people b assin g this Bill.— hear.) If the Governm en t yp passed his theiris Bill, tenure of office would not b e wort h t wo mouths' purchase. The present Bill wa s t reason against the Crow n, and the Ministry wer e th e most unpopular t hat ever had the gover nmen t o f this country. He -(Hear, implored the Government to re consider this sub ject ; and, so far as his strer.gth would allow him, he would oppose the further progress of this Bill. He told the Government that if this Bill passed the House this day, there would be by this day week 100 secret clubs established throughout the country, and he would do all in his power to organize those clubs. Mr. P. HOWARD thought the Hon. Member for Nottingham had taken a somewhat unfair advantage of the Hon. Member for Dublin in withdrawing his mo tion. He should not have risen had it not have been for something which had fallen from the lion, Member for Middlesex, which might tend to produce bad feeling in another nation. England was, and he believed al ways would be, the home of distress and the refuge of all foreigners who claimed its protection, b u t w hile they thus afforded that protection, he maintained that it was the duty of the Government not to allow any persons so receiving protection to enter into any illegal political combinations. The measure introduced by the Government was not the Alien Bill of Mr. Pitt, but simply a Bill providing for the registration of all fo reigners, without any allusion to the people of any par ticular country. With respect to the present Bill before the House he should certainly give it his most cordial support. Mr. REYNOLDS said that he believed he had acted perfectly right in postponing his motion for the second reading of his Bill. The Hon. Members fur the Tower Hamlets and Oldham, both of whom were so determined in their opposition to the Bill, seemed to think that the Bill was admirably adapted to the people of Dublin, but not to the people of this country.— (Hear.) Without imputing a n ything like selfishness to those Hon. Members, he thought that it would have been much better if they had opposed the Bill up on th e broader grounds of its naconstatuttons nature. lie be lieved that if this Bill were carried the Government would not be able to obtain any jury in Ireland to pro nounce a verdict of guilty upoF, any person who might bring himself within the provisions of the Act. (LEFT SPEAKING.) CHARTIST CONVENTION. (THIS DAY.) The members of the Conference re-assembled this morning at nine o'clock; Mr. M'Grath in the chair. The minutes of preceding day having been read, FOREIGNERS IN THIS COUNTRY, Mr. CLARK drew attention to a conversation which took place last night in the House of Lords, between the Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Lansdowne, with reference to a junction between the foreigners at present in London, and the body calling themselves a National Convention. Thus, it would be seen, that a Bill had been proposed to expel all foreigners from this country. He would call their attention to one of those, known by the name of Prince Albert, who not long ago refused to pay his poor-rates, and recommend her Majesty's Mini sters to begin by expelling that illustrious personage. TILE PROFITS OF THE " NORTHERN STAR" NEWSPAPER. Mr. FUSSELL brought forward a resolution which ho thought would be carried unanimously, " That tke Con vention most respectfully decline the generous offer made by Mr. O'Connor, to devote the profits of the orthern Star to support the delegates, during the sitting toi Lltla c,,,,,,,etiLion AL, _ would cheerfully support the delegates they had sent to do their business. Mr. ADAMS would second this resolution. The men of Glasgow would repudiate such an arrangement. Mr. CUFFAY proposed that they should receive the offer of Mr. O'Connor fur the space of three weeks. No seconder appearing, Mr. Cutray's amendment fell to the ground. Mr. Linney and other members indignantly rejected the motion, that they should be dependant on any man. Mr. DONOVAN thought that the Convention ought not to refuse the offer of Mr. O'Connor in the present em barrassed state of their finances. Mr. M`GRATH said that he did not think that it would be right to r ece i ve the who l e o f the weekly profits of the Northern Star. He had no obje ction to receive anything in the shape of a donation from that gentleman. He thought that if the people did not support the Con vention, the sooner they returned to their constituents the better. The resolution was then agreed to unanimously. RESIGNATION OF Nit. OBRIEN. A DELEGATE wi: hed to know whether the Chairman had received any official information of the resignation of Mr. Bronterre O'Brien? The CHAIRMAN was understood to answer in the negative. IMP'ELCHM"T;OF THE MINISTERS. Mr. WILK IN SO N . one of the mem bers of the committee appointed yesti 'rday to d raw up the form of impeach ment of the Ministers, stated that the c ommittee had agreed that they would not draw :uP the Petition and . impeachment until They had received the le g al advice of Mr. O'Connor up on th e su bj ect. T h e c ommittee thought that if they had th , ...4 benefit of' t h e suggestions of Mr. O'Connor, the impeachment cou ld be drawn up in such a formal manne r as ,to be t once acted upon by the House of Commons. Mr. JONES br oug h t up EXCLUS IVE DEALING. appointed to attend [tile meeting at Lambeth, and stated that he had moved a resolution at that meeting, which Mr. APG RATH was unanimously e ffect that no Char agreed to, to the tist should deal with an y of the shopocracy who had enrolled himself I:s ev in s Qmb 'a e l r coesta ble. the report f he deputation deprecat p e e d o such a resolution. Mr. CUFFAY thought that the Convention ought not to be squeamish up this subject. In consequence of on his having been outof for time he had con any attempt at passing work some sented to Mrs. Cuffay going ou t to do a fe w days' wash ing—(Laughter)--but at one of the places at which she was in the habit of sharing she had been l eaked if she was the wife of the Mr. Cuffay, of the Conve.ntion, and was then told that her services vvould not be req'uired in the ensuing week. EXPENSES OF THE DELEGATES. Mr. LutiN moved the appointment of a committee' .of would hav e the effee pe o a afnedhemaiuefsniinttgowfute l h r Y e e seven persons to take into consideration the payment Of , the expenses of the several delegates. The motion was agreed to, and the committee ap pointed. Mr. F.O'CoNNoa, (whosegelandtratnhenet w t a h s e lo y u d d id ly n c o h t ee s r u e l d ly ) congratulated the committee on the result of the meeting held on Monday. He was their cause by language about a Collision with the au thorities. The present Government if they had once fleshed their sword, or tasted the blood would have gone on from step to step., until they had involved the country in one bloody reign of terror.

H e sa y s —" Each lesser division of the triforium migh t be filled with stained or embossed glass, and a gas burner, with a reflector, placed behind each. Th e fol lowing advantages would be gained by this arrangement. 1. The position these lights would occupy commands the whole nave, with the opposite aisle of the church. 2. Being entirely away from any of the windows, no light would be wasted, as is usually the case. 3. Un sightly gas-pipes and lamps would be avoided. 4. We should enjoy the beauties of stained glass as well in the evening as in the morning. LATEST PRICES OF SHAREs, iN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

TUESDAY EVENING, Her Majesty daily takes the .air through the grounds at Oiborne, in a wheel-chair, attended by the royal children. We regret to state that Mr. G. Anson was taken seriously ill yesterday; the Fairy yacht was sent across with an express for Dr. Ferguson, who arrived from town in the night. Drs. Hoffmeister and Cass were also in attendance—the latter remained at the Pataco all night. Mr. Anson, we are happy to say, is a little better to-day. The Herman, New York steam-packet, arrived at 4.20.; her mails, &c., were forwarded to Southampton by the Ruby steamer, which had been waiting for them in our roads since last Monday week. The Ocean steamer proceeded on for Bremen; she is s e much better looking ship than the Washington, but a . shortness of her masts prevents her app earin g to ad vantage. ----- BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION RAILW —Au adjourned meeting (from t he Ist of April) of the directors and shareholders o f this company was held yesterday at Dee's Hotel, Birmingham.

The delegates re-assembled shortly after half-pa't two o'clock yesterday afternoon ; htr. M'Grath in the chair. Mr. CUFFAY said his constituents were so disgusted with those who had acted as special constables yesterday, that they were desirous that a deputation from the Conven tion should be appointed to attend a public meeting which was to be held that evenimg, at Mead's-place, Lambeth, for the purpose of coming to a resolution to confine their dealings exclusively to the tradesmen who had refused to be sworn in as special constables, li e , t h ere f ore, proposed two delegates should bo nominated for this purpose. The motion having been seconded, Mr. Jones, of Liverpool, and Mr. Shaw, of Leeds, were appointed. The CHAIRMAN read communications from Kingston, Hythe (with 101.), Hahne, Reading, Manchester (with 71), Bradford, Sheffield, and a number of other places, stating that at public meetings held at those places reso lutions were unanimously passed pledging themselves to abide by the proceedings of the Convention. The D.•legate for Barnsley stated that he had received a letter to a similar effect from his constituents, and which, in addition, stated that they were ready, it neces sary, to walk dawn to the railway and do anything that was wanted.—(Laughter and significant cheers.) Mr. CLARKE complained of the speech of Lord Lans downe in the House of Lords last night, as misrepre senting what took place yesterday, in saying that the people had been dispersed by the police alone, and that the re-organization of a similar movement was in the highest degree improbable. He also com plained of being prevented passing over Vauxhall-bridge in a cab with the petition, in consequence of which he was compelled to go round by Battersea.—(Groans.) IMPEACHMENT OF MINISTERS. The motion for the impeachment of Ministers having been brought on, Mr. ADAMS said he would not have taken a part in the discussion if he had not been desirous of expressing his strongest condemnation of the manner in which a great many of the dele gates had thought proper to express themselves with respect to the future policy which they deemed it necessary for the Convention to pursue. He considered that the most courageous course for the members to take was to act temperately and moderately, both for their own personal safety and for the sake of the Charter. They had been branded as cowards for their conduct yesterday; but he considered himself that those eught to be looked upon as cowards and enemies to the cause who endeavoured to excite them or the people to commit any rash act. He therefore thought that he had acted wisely, and in accordance with the opinions of his constituents, when he followed the advice of the Executive Committee in not ettemptieg to come in collision with the authorities. He stated, in conclusion, that he considered the Govern went deserved to be impeached in the House of Com mons for having attempted to destroy the constitutional right of the people, and he would, therefore, support the motion of Mr. Clarke.—(Cheers.) Mr. FRANCEAS supported the motion.

As the only journal in Herefoidshire which has resisted this tyrannical system, it cannot but be gratify ing to us to hear such sentiments at length enunciated from the council•room of the city of Hereford, and we allude to the fact, not from any feeling of vanity or self laudation, but merely as affording another proof of the duty of advocating right principles even under the most discouraging circumstances.—Hereford Journal.
