ORDERS RECEIVED BY ALL NEWS AGENTS, AND AT THE SUN OFFICE, 112, STRAND, LONDON. - (o.l)gie )14,11, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1852, Yesterday the business of the Session may be said to have really commenced. If for nothing else, the Hon. CHARLFIS VILLIERS would, in refer ence to his motion of last evening, deserve the thanks of the country at large, for having extorted from the prolonged silence of the DERBY-DISRAELI Cabinet the eminently satisfactory amendment brought forward by the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER. There can no longer be any hesitation whatever in the mind of the community as to the conclusion at length arrived at in reference to the Free-trade policy by the principal Members of the present Government. We take last night's amend ment to be the veritable epitaph of Protection. In eliciting that interesting document from the taci turnity of his Parliamentary opponent, the Ho nourable Member for Wolverhampton reminds us of the wight in the ballad, who " Went and told the sexton, And the sexton tolled the bell." His voice may with truth be declared to have sounded the key note for the De Profundisof the Monopolists. In this manner Mr. VILLIERS has appropriately crowned his many eminent services to the population. He has completed in the most effectual manner the important successes of which he has been himself throughout one of the most distinguished, but at the same time one of the least ostentatious originators. Every one must have felt last night, on listening to him, how unne cessary it was to vindicate himself from the charge of factious interference i - a bringing forward his mo tion in favour of the recognition of the Free-trade principles. Why we all remember, the House re members, the country at large remembers, how sedulously and perseveringly, for fifteen years, CHARLES VILLIERS has been the consistent advo cate of the measures of unrestricted competition. From him, therefore, the important resolution of yesterday came with a very peculiar appropriate ness. And however much he may have indulged in the course of his argument in what Mr. DISRAELI humorously designated " convenient ge neralities," he at any rate succeeded in eliciting from the lips of that right hon. gentlemen a more explict announcement of the formal abandonment of Protection than had hitherto been extorted fr .." l any one of the me m bers of the Administra tion. " In point of fact," as Cousin PIRENIX nth, the Free-traders could scarcely look for a mor e complete acceptance of the reality of their humphtrler all the existing circumstances. to b e e has already repeat e dly s h ow n himself crmeat Of the h intricate t ac ti cs o f d e b a t e , th e C HAN - SiDpAy, n the E XCHEQUER has seldom shone—if, re gard to mere skilfulness—to m ore conspicuous advantage. His oration of yesterday comprehensive retro s p ec t o f the past career o f his trospect in which scatterede eaies as a party—a re very plentifully s arcasms and precedent of rhetoric peael t i way of his h s t r ewn, as it were, b e f ore th© t amendment. Throughout th e ap e kind of refrain — droller and droller h with was a e i v a e n rY s, recu rrence—about a certain class of politician described as parties who had " perpetratedan enormous mischief." Scarcely any one amon g th e more distinguished Members on the benches o f the opposition, but was pelted , by him w i t h a mingled shower of jibes and comp iments. It was in this manner that Mr. DISRAELI, after eulo g i s _ ingin eloquent terms and with winning earnestness, the inclisputaMe consistency of the representa tive of 'Wolverhampton spoke of that honourable yentlern an afterwards as the " Storm Petrel A: Protection" —remarkable for making porten tous appearances at particular crises a person especially noticeable for two things, "precision of thought and concinnity of expres sion." Somewhat in • a similar mood the Leader of the Commons referred, in another portion of his harangue, to the FI RST T• LORD of the TREASURY as a statesman not backward in maintaining a " well-regulated party feeling " having a sly word of allusion to what he facetiously defined as the noble lord's " amiable cynicism." To wards the close of his address the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER indignantly scouted the idea of himself and his colleagues consenting for one hour to remain in office as "Ministers on suf ferance." Nothing, he declared, would induce them to continue in power, unless the cordial bearing of the Legislature gave the stability requisite to consolidate them into a strong Go vernment. Having taken a complete survey of the course pursued by the existing Cabinet, since its formation in February ; ' having enu merated some of the more commendable of its achievements, such, for example, as the formation of the Militia, and also the diminution of several of the abuses in Chancery ; after following their" movements from the period when they were gazetted to the dissolution of the late Parliament, and from the general election in July to the assembling of the new House of Commons in November, the Right Hon. Gentleman appealed in an impassioned peroration to the sense of jus tice among the younger representatives, implor ing them not to allow themselves to become " the tools, or the victims of exhausted fac tions and obsolete politics." It was immediately afterwards that Mr. BRIGHT, in one of the ablest speeches ever delivered by him within the walls of the Legislature, endeavoured in the most effectual manner to embarrass the position of Ministers, by proclaiming the inconsistency of their position—coolly trotting out in proof of this the various unfortunates who, during the process of the recent appeal to the country, had figured upon the hustings in the deepest colours of the Pro tectionists. It cannot for an instant be ques tioned by the reflective observers throughout the United Kingdom that the time had indeed arrived for some definite conclusion to be arrived at in this matter of the Free-trade principles by the present House of Commons, and in the presence of what was originally, . of course, a Protectionist Government. Further hesitation in regard to the permanence of the commercial policy inaugurated in 1846 by Sir ROBERT PERT. could not, in truth, be otherwise than injurious to the interests of the nation, pre judicial to the character of the Legislature, and baneful to the reputation of her Majesty's Govern ment. Without some explicit declaration in the negative or in the affirmative, matters would be left in a state so painfully dubious and incompre hensible that the consequent and inevitable evils would necessarily prove altogether incalculable. Aware of this, and conscious of the unassailable security of that cause which he had himself cherished years before it was recognised by the generality, either within or without the walls of Parliament, Mr. VILLIERS determined at the earliest available period to submit the exigent problem of the emergency to the consideration of the popular representatives. Now that the matter has actually been brought forward substantially in the Legis lative Chamber of the Commons at Westminster, we cannot, as conscientious Free-traders and fervent lovers of patriotism, but rejoice that the question has been formally presented for the ac ceptance or the refusal of the Administration. It would be unfair to all parties implicated in the transaction not to feel thus in reference to the important discussion of yesterday. But for the motion introduced by the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton the judgments of the multi tude might still have been tossed about upon a sea of conjectures as to what might be upon the most vital of the political topics of our age, the real opinions entertained by the present Government. No such uncertainty can any longer be felt upon the matter, now that the country has lying before them the eminently adroit, but sufficiently explicit, and, indeed, alto gether unmistakeable declaration of the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. That declaration is simply, that her MAJESTY' s Ministers do not feel themselves called upon to attempt any revival whatsoever of the abandoned principles of Protec tion. Mr. DISRAELI' S reminder to the house, that ever since the passing of the enactment of 1846, neither he himself, nor any one of the individuals sympathising with him in his ideas of a commercial policy, have endeavoured to bring back the old system through direct or indirect appeals to the British Parlia ment—was the strongest point in the argument by which he strove to parry the thrusts of his Free-trade antagonists. Mr. BRIGHT' S reminder to the House, on the other hand, that if no posi tive adventure of the kind—no adventure having in view the restoration of the laws formerly passed by the sticklers for monopoly—had been made in the Commons by the Leaders of the oppo site party since the period of Sir ROBERT PEWS enactment, their followers had un questionably, out of the Commons, employed every imaginable means to forward their in terests, and to create a soul under the dead ribs of Protection—was indisputably the most forcible and the most rational justification of the motion submitted to the Legislature, supposing for one moment that it needed (which we deny) any jus tification at all. Although the discussion was, as might have been alone anticipated, adjourned un til Thursday after the speeches of Mr. KER SEYMER and Mr. FREDERICK PEEL had been followed by the remarkable address of Lord PA LMERSTON the resolution proposed by the representative of Wolverhampton, cannot but be regarded as already most effectual in re moving whatever doubts still existed in regard to the commercial views of the DERBY-DISRAELI Cabinet. That Cabinet, as we now take it, is dis tinctly pledged to the maintenance—and not only to the maintenance, hut to the resolute enforce ment and continuous development of the Free trade system, or as the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER loves to call it, the system of unrestricted competition. Henceforth, there can be no pos sible misapprehension upon the subject. The state oracle is no longer dumb. And if, at last, APOLLO has not spoken from his shrine, the Right Hon. Gentleman, leaning 4ipon the green box of office, and addressing himself candidly to the Free-trade Opposition, has avowed that the principles of Protection are no longer desired to be revived by the existing Government. Convocation, after a political submersion of a century and a-half, has begun to exhibit signs of life ; some galvanic'respirations have unquestion ably been made. Whether they will result in a re turn of all the vital powers and functions remains to be seen. A short time back, when it was rumoured that Lord DERBY, at the instigation of his High-Church supporters, was about to advise. her MAJESTY to license Convocation to resume its long-disused functions, we expressed our incre dulity in regard to any statesman being capable of such unconstitutional conduct. From what has just occurred, it is very evident that the agitators may have perplexed the Government for a while with those legal ingenuities which they openly brought forward when the Houses met. Unless there were some doubtful points of this kind be fore the Government, we must think, with all the Liberal press, that they ought at once to have contradicted the rumour. Be this as it may, the advocates of Convoca tion have now taken a course which will soon call upon Parliament to interrogate the Government as to their actual power over the proceedings of this body, and to legislate, if need be, accordii tgly. We have had one Papal aggression, and we cannot now tolerate an Anglican aggression. It can 'lover be endured that such a nuisance as this long "suppressed debating club of Church clignits.ries, should resume action by virtue of some o verlooked loopholes in an Act of Parliament. ... A ElteP, and, in the o pi n i on o f a mem b e r of the Lower Rouse, a s t ep verg i ng upon an ecc dosi asti cal r evo l ution, was made by the course whit ;11 \vas adopted. In the Upper m Was taken ; namely, House quite new grc , id TER BU that the Archbishop ( CUN RY had no Power to prorogue the no-ases without the consent of the other bishoDs , T id that not requisitethey pleased, to " though the QUEEN'S licen ce w as them to deliberate as long as con fessedly needful t o enable them enact L w g e l r i canons. The agitators had fortified th e Reives with the legal opinion in their favour of Drs. ADDAmsland PHILLIMORE, and of “her , JI.JESTY'S ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and, thus fortified, the Bishops of OXFORD and EXETER most politely bearded their too-compromising Archbishop. We use the term advisedly, because we think the conduct of the Archbishop has sown the seed of all the mischief ; he very modestly threw doubt indeed upon the unofficial opinion of the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL, but adjourned, instead of at once proroguing, the Houses, professing great reluctance to use his power. Had he boldly put them to the test at once, had he dared them to carry out their gentle threat of sitting whether he prorogued them or not, he would have found himself, with the British public, in the place of the seven bishops, and they in that of JAMES 11. By his va cillating conduct, he allowed each House to appoint committees, to prepare petitions to her MAJESTY, relative to the correction of clerks (we hope the term legally includes Bishops and Cathedral Chapters), and to enter into warm discussions respecting in cluding, in the usual Address to the QUEEN, a suggestion of reviving the active powers of Con vocation. The Lower House, moreover, had rather hot debates on appointing a committee to consider grievances in the Church, and necessary reformations ; eventually a committee of unde niably able men was appointed to take into con sideration a long paper on these subjects ; and not the least notable circumstance respecting it was, that it was introduced by Dr. SPRY, and seconded by Archdeacon HARE, of Lewis; the latter gentle man avowing as his reason for having joined in preparing the paper, and for then seconding it, that he wished practically to correct the erroneous, but widely diffused mistake, that the High-Church party was the only one which wished for the re vival of Convocation. He referred to Archbishop WHATELY, as well as himself, in disproof of the common opinion. It is remarkable, however, that this paper of grievances enumerates as one, that power of the Crown by which Dr. HAMPDEN was installed at Hereford against the will of the Cathedral authorities, but with the applause of the whole country, a few bigoted bishops and clergymen excepted ; and that another grievance is the very one of the state of Cathedral Chap ters, to inquire into which her MAJESTY has al ready issued a commission ; she, as the Head of the Church, having had the vanity to think the matter as safe in the hands of her commissioners, as in that of a committee of the Lower House of Convocation. Perhaps, however, the country will think that that house had some excuse here ; the unbridled rapacity of the bishops, and the facility of the last commission in applying funds, intended for the augmentation of poor livings, to building palaces for the wealthy and luxurious successors of the Apostles, is fresh enough in the memory of all. As we have said, in chal lenging and intimidating the Archbishop—in getting this last committee especially appointed, and in prolonging the debate for three days, the Convocationists have certainly gained an impor tant step. This is asserted with a shout of triumph by their own organ, and assented to by their opponents. _ _ We hardly think they will be allowed to make good another step. They have the political chances before them of a Low-Church Government and a more thoroughly reformed Parliament, and they have to encounter the laity—generally averse to their claim—and the reasonable prudence of statesmen. What have ecclesiastical synods done of late years for this country ? The two most not able examples of them are, that of the established Presbyterian Church in Scotland, and that of the unestablished Wesleyan Church in England. Each of them has generated an extensive and bitter disruption of the respective bodies. Each has originated an immense secession claiming to be the true representatives of the respective Churches —the Residuary Church and the secession in each case hating each other with a bitterer hatred than that of even Roman Catholics towards Protestants. Yet each of these bodies rested their belief on self-consistent creeds. No deep-seated internal difference of faith sustained an irreconcileable difference. In the Church of England, on the contrary, this can never be. Original Acts of Parliament, the modern decisions of courts of justice, the opinion of every honest man, and the parties now dividing the Establishment, show that the Episcopal Church is the Church of a compromise, and the Church of comprehension. The Articles admit Mr. HUGH STOWELL, and the Liturgy is the boast of Archdea con PE.NISON. The former conciliates the followers of the great Reformer of Geneva ; the latter re tains those who, but for emoluments, would prefer the entire journey to Rome. A statesman of the slightest prescience of consequences will never hazard the mutual friction of such a box of Lu cifers. Suppose, however, these ecclesiastics to be ga thered together in council, and suppose them under the strong repression of the public gaze to be pre vented from exploding, and suppose them, in virtue of the deliberative powers they now claim as their unconditional right to agree upon certain schemes, or memorials, and to lay them before the Govern ment, and eventually before the Parliament ; how would such clerical propositions be regarded? What would the assembly of laymen—the uncon secrated, the unsanctified creatures, whose pre sence Mr. DENISON would deem a pollution of Jerusalem Chamber—what would they say to them? We think the tone of lay feeling is plainly such as would hazard the rejection of the most reasonable proposals, not to say ensure contempt of all that savoured of ecclesiastical ambition and selfishness. To meet this danger (and from their own Church principles also), Archdeacon HARE, and other men of the better class, urged the Convocation to a distinct acknowledgment of the right of laymen to form part of any Convoca tion. Of course, it was promptly rejected ; but it was justly observed, that such a proposition would tend most decidedly to the separation of Church and State ; since it would constitute two bodies of laymen—the Houses of Parliament and the Convocation—legislators for the Church—" There would be a representa tive body of the clergy and laity apart from the national representation." h N o a w ti e o v n e al r, clearv—ernamNenatti.onall It must must n One have iaet i a s, bear the spiritual disadvantages as well as enjoy the temporal advantages of its position. The Government of this country is now composed, like the country itself, of men of every variety of religious belief. They find amongst the institu tions of the country one Christian denomination, larger than any other taken singly, adopted by the nation as the Church which it supports ; but they find also that its bishops are taken into the higher branch of the Legislature, an d a ll power in the Church confided to th e S upreme Magistrate of the Kingdom, and to the grand Council of the Nation. This acceptance of sup port, and this surrender of power they have always deemed correlative, and indispensable to the carrying on of government. In that opinion all history and all experience has confirmed the laity of England. The dissenting portion of the com munity would not endure, for a single Session, a self-governed sect in the possession of nati ona l revenues to the amount, taki n g everything into con sideration, of nearly ten millions a-year. States men would never tolerate such a corporation. Half the Episcopalian laity would themselves re volt, and the consummation of Convocational in dependence would certainly prove the utter ruin of the Establishment. RUMOURED BETROTHMENT OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL. —The report gains consistency that Prince Frederick William, the heir of the Prussian crown, is betrothed to the Princess Royal of England. The Princess of Prussia, mother of the prince , will make another visit to Engla nd next spring.—Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung. [Prince Frederick William, eldest son of the Prince of Prussia, and nephew of the reigninc , monarch, was born October 18, 1831. The Princess Royal was born Nov. 21, 1840.] HER MAJESTY'S OPPOSITION.—The character of the present strange combination of political men, which calls itself an Opposition, is strikingly un-English and unfair. The one weapon made use of is deception. It is used with considerable adroitness, and every variety of fence, but still it is the same—deception.—M orning Herald. _ _ THE SIX-MILE-BRIDGE AFFAIL—In the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, yesterday, the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench unanimously rejected the motion of the Attorney-General to quash the coroner's inquisi tion at Six-mile-bridge. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNEST)AI7 EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1852. IMPEL UAL PARLIAME iN T. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. Mr. BLACKETT presented a petition from out-pen sioners of Chelsea Hospital complaining of the non-pay ment of arrears now due to them. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE moved, in reference to a " Return to an Order of the Honourable the House of Commons, dated June 22, 1852, for a copy of all com munications made by the architect and officers of the British Museum to the trustees, respecting the enlarge ment of the building of that institution ; and of all com munications between the trustees and the Treasury on the same subject subsequent to the period when the commissioners upon the constitution and management of the British Museum presented their report to her Majesty,"—also, of all such communications of a like nature as shall have been omitted in making the above return ; and also of all such communications of a like nature as shall have been made subsequent to the above mentioned date of the 22d day of June, 1852. Agreed to. COUNTY ELECTIONS.—POLLS BILL. Lord R. GROSVENOR moved the second reading of his bill. Mr. B. DENISON said, though he was favourable to confining the polling for the counties to one clay, he objected to its taking place so soon after the nomination; the bill proposing that only one day should intervene between the nomination and the day fixed for the polling. If the bill passed in that shape, it would not tend to diminish the cost of contested elections. The inconvenience of the system was shown in the election of Mr. Cobden for the West Rid ing of Yorkshire. He thought it would be better that a week should elapse between the nomination and polling. He should vote for the second reading, but when the bill went into committee he would move the omission of the clause limiting the interval to only one day. It was worth while considering whether it would not be advisable to require the Sheriff to send a printed paper to each voter, with a request that he should return it with the name of the candidate for whom he wished to vote, as such a plan would save great expense to voters and candidates. Mr. R. PALMER did not think it was either expedi ent or necessary to alter the present system, believing that if the polling was limited to one day, great incon venience would be occasioned, and many voters be vir tually disfranchised, for it was impossible that all the electors could come up to vote on one day, many of them having to attend markets, and other places which they could not neglect without great loss to themselves. The hon. member concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time this day six months. Lord H. VANE entertained considerable doubts as to the expediency of the bill, but he would not oppose the second reading. He entertained considerable objec tion to that part which limited the interval between the nomination and polling to one day, and in agreeing now to the second reading, would reserve to himself the right of moving the return of that provision before the bill reached its third reading. _ _ _ Mr. WALPOLE was not inclined to think that any great inconvenience would attend the alteration pro posed by the bill, of confining the polling to one clay, instead of two as at present, provided it could be done without additional expense, in which case he should be prepared to support the measure. (Hear.) He would, therefore, agree to the second reading, for the purpose of seeing in committee how such an altera tion could be conveniently crrried out. It appeared to him that a sufficient number of proper polling places had not been provided for in the bill, in order that every vater might have an opportunity of recording his vote in one day. With regard to the other point, namely, as to the restriction of the time which was to elapse between the nomination and the day of polling, he enter tamed a strong objection to is. An interval of one day was too short, and though he was favourable to the other provisions of the bill, he should certainly object to this clause. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ALCOCK could not understand the objections which the hon. member for Berkshire had raised to this bill, surely five thousand voters in a county eould do that in one day which 20;000 had to do in a borough. Circumstances had changed since 1832, for railways had sprung up in every direction, and there was now no diffi culty in getting from place to place. And yet under the existing law if a nominee for a county town took place on a Wednesday, the polling could not be opened until Monday, an inconvenience which ought immediately to be removed, and as this bill would do that he called upon the house to adopt it without hesitation, more es pecially as it would save expense and prevent much an noyance to the counties who were favovrable to the purity at elections. Mr. SPOONER said those who opposed this bill did not do so with the view of resisting economy at elections, but he fo one opposed it because he thought it would increase expense. Besides, he knew from expe rience that if this bill passed the whole of the free• holders of the county of Warwick would be unable to record their votes in one day, while it was physically impossible that the Sheriff could make the necessary preparations for an election in one day. Sir G. PECHELL supported the second reading, and declared his opinion that the time had gone by when legitimate reforms connected with the franchise could be success ;fly resisted. Mr. 3lONSELL:regretted that Ireland was not to be included in the operation of this bill, for great as was the benefit which England would undoubtedly derive from its provisions, it was infinitely short of the good that it would do to Ireland, where it would not only diminish the expense, but go far to abolish the system of intimidation which but too often prevailed at contested elections for Irish counties. He would take that opportunity of asking whether Govern ment intended to take steps to abridge the bribery and and other oaths taken by Roman Catholic electors. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SCOTT thought it would be much better to see how the measure worked in England before they ven tured to extend it to Ireland. Viscount MONK supported the bill. Mr. W. BROWN thought that one day's polling would be quite as convenient as two days. He should certainly support the bill. Mr. ELLIOT thought that this bill would put a check to all the intimidation and bribery which gene rally took place at the close of the first day's poll. He believed that this bill was most popular in Scotland. Mr. L. KING thought this bill did not go far enough. There was one point which was not provided for in this bill, and that was the length of time which elapsed in county elections between the proclamation and the day of nomination. With the consent of his noble friend, he should introduce a- clause for this pur pose. Sir T. Y. BULLER thought the feeling of the house was in favour of the second reading of the bill, and he should recommend his hon. friend the member for Berk shire to withdraw his amendment. Mr. GEACH supported the bill as conferring a great boon upon country electors. After a few words from . Mr. WILLIAMS, the amendment was withdrawn, and the bill was read a second time.

PAUL'S.— Yesterday morning, by eight o'clock, about 300 or 400 persons were assembed at the Excise-office, Broad-street, for the purpose of obtaining tickets, and a strong force of police was a lso in attendance. The' syetem which was adopted the day previous, of the police driving the people about in a mass, was renewed yesterday morning till about nine o'clock, when Inspector Hownrd arrived, and under his directions the police formed the people in a line, the last comers taking their places at the end, which gave a fair chance to all, and prevented the disorder which prevailed the day previous. ,11 USEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 3,000 bales all to the trade. The market closed heavily, with but little alteration in prices. The sales comprised about 2,5000 Ameri can 20 Bahia at Gad., 100 Egyptians at 52d. to 81.i. ' and 100 Surat at 4d. to 4d. per lb. Rail way Shares were quiet, but firm. The heads of departments have received instruc tions to the effect, that in consequence of the im proved condition of the colonial finances, the full salaries which were fixed by the Appropriation Bill of last session may now be drawn for, and also that the difference between those rates and the reduced amounts which were paid during the first six months of this year, may likewise be received. Yesterday afternoon bills of exchange were ne gociated at very full rates on most of the Con tinental cities. Paris, 25 40 to 421- ; • Amsterdam, 11 18-k to 19 ; and Hambro', 13 7t o ; Trieste, 11 44 - to 48. During the fortnight to last evening, the Hon. East India Company drew bills on the 3 presiden cies to the amount of 116,1481. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have received the following letter, via the United States from Mr. Falconnet Mexico, Oct. 16, 1852. " Sir—l have had the pleasure of addressing you on the 13th inst.,* and without any of yours to answer. This is merely to enclose the speech of the President of the Republic on the opening of Congress, in the hope that my friends in Vera Cruz will be able to forward this letter through the United States without delay. "No direct allusion to, or special mention of, the foreign debt has been made in the speech, a circumstance which has disappointed me, for although I am aware that a separate report is to be addressed to the legislature on that subject, yet I expected that their attention would have been called at once to the importance of providing for the satisfaction of our claims. You will find from that document how many difficulties surround the Go vernment ; and from the answer given by the President of the Chamber of Deputies—a very vague one indeed — it is difficult to foresee bow far the Legislature will feel disposed to help the Executive. " The shipments from Vera Cruz and Tampico by the last steamer have not been so large as I expected—a por tion ofthe bills in the hands of the agents not having fallen due, it appears, until a few days after the departure of the, packet. However, the bills of lading sent to Messrs. Barinc , Brothers and Co., for money out of the produce of the Custom-house revenue, leave a surplus of about— s 3,265 in favour of the July dividend. 32,000 are in course of collection at Vera Cruz. 130,000 in bills, according to advice just received, will soon be delivered to the agents at that port. We have about 36,000 cash on Matzatlan, ready to be shipped. 18,000 in cash and bills, at San Blas. 2,800 do. do. in Acapulco. 22,500 are settled out of the $102,000 of Matamoros, &c., so that we can say to have secured about $244,565 for the July dividend. . _ " If the Legislatire makes any favourable decision, I think there will then be little difficulty in raising the necessary amount to complete the payment of that divi dend.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, " FDE. 0. FALCONNET. "To Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Bart., " Chairman of the Committee of Mexican Bondholders, 27, Gresham-street'." • This has not yet been received. The King of Holland designed, and in part com pleted a railroad from Amsterdam to the borders of Prussia. In order to raise the funds for this purpose he issued 9,000 bonds of one thousand florins each, or about 831. Os. Bd., bearing interest at 42 per cent., guaranteed first by the raiiway, and secondly by the king himself. In 1845 the King of Holland sold this (now called the Dutch Rhenish) railway to an English Company, who subscribed for a capital of 2,000,000/.—first, for the purpose of completing the railway to Prussia secondly, to make a branch to Rotterdam, and thirdly to pay off the 9,000 Bonds, above mentiened. Of this capital, 800,0001. have been paid up, but in consequence of certain unforeseen impediments with Prussia, as to the junction with their lines, a considerable delay has occurred in the completing of the road, and about 400,0001. subscribed, but not immediately wanted, were invested in the purchase of 3,700 of these Bonds, as also 100,000/. in the purchase of land for the Rotterdam Branch. All difficulties are now at an end. Treaties with Prussia, and con tracts with Mr. Brassey, have been signed. The Railway is to be completed in two years, and the Government have agreed to guarantee the interest on 400,0001. while the works are in progress. 200,0001 is wanted for immediate purposes. A call could be made, but the Shareholders, considering that they paid the 800,0001. for making the line, and not for purchasing Bonds, wished the Bonds in possession of the Company sold or pledged to raise the money now required. To this the direction assented, and it not being advisable to part with the Bonds, the Directors have placed in the Bank of the Netherlands, in the names of certain English and Dutch Trustees, 2,400 bonds of 1,000 florMs, or 831. Cs. Bcl. each, and are now about to issue against them 2,400 Certificates or Loan Notes, (also of 1,000 florins each), to be repaid by calls, July Ist 1858, and bearing interest at 44- per Cent. The Certificates are secured, first by the Bonds de posited, (which are themselves guaranteed, first by the line and secondly by the King), and secondly by the Company, who engage to make a particular call to redeem these Certificates, and in payment of which call these Certificates will themselves be received. The debate upon free trade policy has not pro gressed sufficiently to allow of a very correct esti mate of the result, and the amendmeut of Lord Palmerston would, it is thought, probably give a new feature to the matter, and prove favourable to Ministers. The uncertainty, however, affects prices, and Consols ' have been rather heavy at 101 k to though now 1011 for Trans fer, and 1011 to k for Account. Exchequer Bills of March are 725. premium. Bank Stock is supported at 223, and East India Stock has risen to 277. The New 31 per Cents. have been quoted 103 and the 3 per Cents. 100-al. A bargain has been effected in South• Sea Old An nuities at par. The Coinmittee of the Stock Exchange have taken a most important and highly-creditable step to prevent bankrupt or dishonest States forcing more' securities upon the English market. The Central Peninsular Railway Shares will not be quoted in the official list, as will be observed by the following reply to an application of the com pany : (Copy.) "November 22, 1852. " Sir,—l am instructed by the Committee to inform you, that they have taken your letter of the 30th Octo ber into consideration, and after communicating with the Chairman of the Committee of Portuguese Bond holders, are unanimously of opinion that the security upon which the proposed guarantee of 6 per cent. is based, has already been mortgaged to the Portuguese Bondholders, and that consequently, until the Committee receives from them a communication that this security is given with their consent, they cannot recognize the dealings in the railways of Portugal with this guarantee. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, GEO. WEBB, Secretary. Robert W. Kennard, Esq., on behalf of the Provisional Directors of the Central Peninsular Railways of Portugal." No other reply could in fairness be given, for the Portuguese Government which confiscates the divi dends on its debt, actually guarantees 6 per cent. to this railway out of the taxes assigned to the bondholders. Spanish Stock is firm, the Deferred being 25 I; Peruvian Deferred Bonds are 62k, and Grenada Deferred, 11k. There have been large dealings in Brazilian New, at 961 to 97k; Turkish Scrip is 2 to 2 premium, a decline. In Dutch and Belgian Stocks, there has been some activity; Mexican, 25 to The railway share market opened very buoyantly, although it has gone back a little in some instances since. The English lines have been higher gene rally,—North-Western, East Anglian, Aberdeen, Oxford and Wolverhampton, and York and Ber wick, taking the lead. French shares are higher, and Sambre and Meuse are up 1/. Gold mines are in brisk demand, at fuller rates. Australasia Bank shares have risen, and Penin sular and Oriental are dearer.
