GREY--I am anxious to make a brief state ment to the House, in justice to some naval officers, who feel themselves aggrieved by statements affecting them which have appeared in the public papers, and which have been made the subject of a question in this House. I refer to the officers of her Majesty's ship the Shearwater. The House will recollect that a question was put to me some time since by the Hon. and Gallant Officer opposite, the Member for Armagh, founded on a statement in the newspapers, that the pri soner Mitchel, who was conveyed in that ship to Spike Island, bad been invited to breakfast by the officers of that ship. At that time I had no information on the subject beyond what was contained in the public papers and in a private letter to the same effect. Since that time, however, Admiral Mackay, who was in command at C or k , has called for a detailed report on the subject from Lieut. Tumour, the commanding officer of the Shearwater, and his explanation is perfectly satisfactory, and com pletely exonerates the officers of that ship from the slightest imputation. It appears that the prisoner was placed aboard under the charge of two police officers, and the chart-room was assigned by Lieutenant Tumour for their use during the passage. The steward was directed to furnish the pri soner and the police-officers with their meals is that room, and this was done, with the exception of their breakfast, on the very morning on which they came on board ; in consequence of the chart-room being occupied by the bed of the police officers, the break fast was provided in the gun-room, but not until after the officers of the ship had themselves breakfasted. Lieutenant Tumour and the officers, though th e y f e l t aggrieved by the statement which had appeared in the papers, in this respect had very properly abstained, in obedience to general instructions in such cases, from justifying themselves by any statement made through the public papers, and although I otherwise should have felt it unnecessary to refer again to the case and feel that under these circumstances it is due to the officers of the Shearwater, that I should give this ex planation of the real facts of the case, which completely exonerate them from the slightest blame.—(Hear.) DERBY " SWEEPS"—IMPORTANT STATE- Mr. BARBER proposed that, considering the evils which were entailed upon society by the compromise of crime and the ruinous expenditure of prosecutions in securing the conviction of offenders, it was necessary that all prosecutions for every species of crime should be conducted at the expense of the Crown, under the direc tion of a public prosecutor, and that the meeting pledged itself to use every exertion to accomplish the amendment of the law in that respect. Ile gave an interesting account of the detection and conviction of a number of practical swindlers, and alluded to one gan. , who had taken pre mises in Old Ch ange , a nd w ith the view of deceiving persons had fill e d the shelv es with " dummies" in the shape of packets of buttons, which, however, turned out to have enclosures of wood, bundles of thread filled with saw-dust, and packets representing other articles filled with shavings and such like substances. Specimens of these packages were exhibited at the meeting, and created a good deal of amusement. The resolution was seconded by Mr. BREWSTER, and unanimously carded. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. 14 3 / 4 19/4 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BANKING COMPANY. The seventh annual general meeting of the propictors of this company took place yesterday, at the Company's Offices in Old Broad-street, for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, and electing directors and auditors in the room of those gentlemen that went out by rotation. E. Dlvett, Esq., M.P., took the chair at one o'clock. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, The CHAIRMAN called upon the manager to read the report. EDMUND J. WHEELER, Esq., the manager, then read the following report:— " The Court of Directors of the South Australian Banking Company offer to the seventh annual general meeting of proprietors the following report of the com pany's affairs:— " The extended emigration to South Australia, and the consequent increase of its general commerce, still further promoted by the successful working of various mines, have made the past year one of great activity, and have called into ready employment the entire capital of this company, although scarcely sufficient time has elapsed to realise the full profits to be expected therefrom. " Wishing to preserve their former plan of having the colonial assets most strictly examined, that no doubtful amounts might be reckoned in the balance-sheet, suit able instructions were renewed to the local directors and manager ; and in his report upon the annual return for the 29th of November last, Mr. Stephens states, that the most careful examioation has been made by the local board into every item of the bank's assets, subjecting the whole to that rigid scrutiny ordered to be adopted ; and after mature consideration it has been unanimously resolved to pass to loss the few insignificant items, which are included in the profit and loss account.' " During the past year, progress has been made in recovering doubtful debts (formerly written off), and in realising securities taken in the earlier period of the colony. The home debt of the South Australian Com pany has been wholly paid off, and the bank's funds are being concentrated in assets readily available for all the operations. "The summary of the general profit and lots account is as follows, viz.:— Amount of undivided profits on 31st :lay, 184 i ..................... .C 11,600 19 11 Less appropriated to pre liminary expenses and reserve fund...., - 89% 2,600 0 0 Amount formerly placed to contingent ac count, being reserved from profits until the interest, &c., allowed to Government on land fund account had been debited at Adelaide .................

For West sorts, rates were insisted upon for all although scale or pan. The total purchases amount hhds, &c., including a public sale of 206 hhds to 550 and 20311arrels of Trinidad, which sold at the tres value, good yellow 39s 6d to 40s 6d, middling 38s former e o r 395, low 37s 6d to 38s, and fine brown 37s per cwt. t REFINED. — To-day a fair demand existed from the home trade for refined goods, and prices ruled firm at 558 6d for standard, and at 54s 6d per cwt for brown grocery lumps. Bonded crushed Sugar is dull of sale at from 25s 6d to 26s 6d per cwt. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with less attention. The parcels o ff ered at public sale, amounting to 1;4 tierces and 6,308 bags, were only in part sold, but the rates obtained are equal to those of Friday—fine and good yellow went at 40s 6d to 43s 6d, middling 39s to 40s 6d, low 38s to 385 Gd, good and floe to 40s 6d, washed 32s to 42s per cwt. brown 36s to 37s 6d, grainy 40s to 425, syrupy 32s Gd EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand was less active for Bengal Sugar, and the market was much bet ter supplied. Four parcels, amounting to 8,250 bags, were offered at public sale, and the chief part sold—white and brown, at full rates, but grainy rather cheaper—Benares, low white went at 40s to 40s 6d, middling 41s, fine and good soft yellow 38s 6d to 39s 6d, damp and washed 39s to 41s, fine and good strong yellow 40s to 43s 6d, low and middling 37s to 39s 6d, damp 36s to 43s Gd, good and fine white 49s to 51s, and brown 32s 6d to 33s Ed. Of Madras, 100 bags went at 28s for low damp brown. FOREIGN.—There has been a decrease in the demand for all descriptions; holders have shown a desire to sell, and submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d to Is per cwt. By private treaty the demand has been extremely limited for all sorts, and for every purpose. ome At public sale 561 hhds and 332 brls of Porto India ded r a e os n oft were of Rico were only in part sold fine and very fine yellow at 44s to 475, middling and good 39s to 435, and middling grey 38s 6d ; 144 hogsheads of Cuba Muscovado out of condition went tit 32s to 36s Gd for washed; 140 boxes of white Cuba, good 8 and washed 47s to 50s; 1,575 b oxes o f c l ayed Cuba, all aults, were disposed of at 38s to 41s for middling to good yellow, and at 46s to 60s 6d for washed. The stock is still smaller than last year, and in the importation there is yet a material decrease, but deliveries are not equal to those of that time either for export or home use. MOLASSES.—lmporters manifest much firmness, as the quantity of West India imported this year is small, and less than in the former one by 7,60 puns. The deli veries are also on the increase, but at present do not come up to those of that time by 1,000. There is a falling off in the stock of 1,200 puns. An improved de mand is expected to take place shortly, and an advance in the value. In Bengal Treacle the sales made are of little moment, yet holders are not disposed to sell upon former terms. COFFEE. This afternoon more inclination was evinced to do business in Plantation Ceylon; 60 casks 900 bags at auction were sold at fully former rates, low middling at 44s to 46s 6d, middling 525, good 655, good middling 59s to 60s, fine fine ordinary 38s 6d to 40s 6d, good ordinary 30s, low and ordinary 25s to 28s 6d, damaged 20s to 355.

Of Jamaica 44 casks and 50 barrels were sold at steady rates. 217 bags Padang were tak en i n at 27s for good ordinary, ta.ing above the value. Cocoa.—lmporters of West India are not inclined to further reduce their prices, but the trade evince little desire to operate, and there is a plentiful supply. The tendency of quotations is evidently downwards. Of 617 bags Trinidad offered at public sale, a small part only sold. SPICES.—Today a fair demand existed for Ginger for home -trade purposes, and 43 brls Jamaica at auction sold at higher rates—fine went at 71 lOs to 10118 s, good Si 18s to 6153, and good ordinary 31 10s. Of Pimento, some parcels were sold privately, and at stiffer rates ; whilst 45 bags at auction sold at 3id for low middling. 300 bags are declared for Thursday next.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) 4 i CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY A very limited supply of English Wheat has arrived for our market this week, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample. The quantity of that grain on offer to-day was small; while the demand for all de scriptions was steady, and Monday's quotations were well supported. No Foreign Wheat has come to band since Saturday. With that article we were very scan tily supplied, owing to which the sale was firm, at ex treme rates of currency, Parcels in bond as well as on board were held at very full prices. No English Barley on offer. Foreign parcels were a slow sale, but we have no further decline to notice in value. In Malt, compa- ratively little business was transacted; but we have no alteration to notice in value. All kinds of Oats—the supply of which was not to say extensive—were a slow inquiry, at low rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Meal were very dull. The Flour trade was steady, and prices were well supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. English •. •• .. 1,290 qrs. Irish. •• •• •• •• -- 307 , Barley., Oat,. I Flour.

Geneva met with little attention. British made Spirit is not cheaper; only a limited demand, however, has been experienced, but there is not a larger stock. Iu the value of Giu there is not the least variation to make known, but the trade is less brisk. Foreign .• ....

For this reason the preliminary expenses' account will, until the next balance, remain at 10,000/. " From the foregoing balance of nett profit, viz., 10,196/ 10s. 3d., the directors recommend that 1,019/. 135., or 10 per cent. (as by the charter and deed of settlement) be added to the reserve fund, which will then be about 3 100/.; and that from the balance a divi dend of five per cent. per annum, clear of income-tax, upon the capital, be made payable half-yearly in July and January next as usual. " The annual accounts to 29th ultimo have been duly audited, and will now be submitted for confirmation. " A statement of the average weekly assets and liabi lities of the colonial establishment to 29th November (the date of the balance), will also be read for your in formation. The favourable advices from the plantations have had considerable influence upon the demand for all kinds of Hops, the prices of which have further receded fuily 2s. per cwt. The duty has advanced to 190,0001. Sussex pockets, 21 14s to 31 2s per cwt; Weald of Kent ditto, 2/ ISs to 315 s per cwt; Mid and East Kent ditto, 31 5s to 51 Os per cwt. COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was no increase in the demand for Cochineal, and 106 bags, at sale, were nearly all taken in at rather lower terms—Mexican blacks 3s I Id to 4s Id, silvers low to good middling 3s 9d to 4s 2d, and Mexicans 3s 8d to 3s 10d per lb. Istraco.—The quantity declared for public sale on the 11th of July amounts to 7,131 chests, and unless affairs on the Continent assume a more favourable appearance previous to that time, only a small portion will be sold, unless holders submit to a material decline on those cur rent at the last quarterly sales. Since this day week the purchases made have been extremely limited in all sorts, both by exporters and the home trade. Spanish is not much required, and can be obtained upon rather lower terms; there is also a fair supply. SALTPETRE.—To-day there was not much disposition manifested to do business, and 1,379 bags of Calcutta at auction were taken in rather above the value-44 to 4 per cent 295, 8 to 6-1- do 27s 6d to 28s, 5f ditto 28s 6d, and 34 ditto of ordinary quality 26s 6d per cwt. OILS. — Few purchases have been made in Rape Seed Oil, and rather lower rates were accepted yesterday, pale selling at 355, and brown at 34s per cwt. There is also a large quantity pressing upon the market. For Linseed Oil prices remain much the same as on this day week ; from the home trade there has been a good demand, and exporters have been induced to take several parcels. A fair demand exists for Lard Oil at 42s to 455. Ground Nut is dull of sale at 37s to 38s. In Olive the operations are upon a more extended scale, but not at better prices. Cocoa Nut is offered at 38s to 44s for low to fine quality, still the dealings have been limited. For Palm prices continue to recede, and buyers to ope rate with caution; the value of fair to fine quality is 27s to 30s. Of Fish Oils imports are of little moment since our last report, and for common sorts the market has an improving appearance. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Cod, at from 241 lOs to 25/, and at which holders are firm. For pale Seal the demand is active. Other sorts are still little wanted. Southern is wanted, and in consequence of the decrease in the supply, buyers are compelled to pay stiffer rates. Of Sperm there is a plentiful supply, and a further decline in the value is apparent; on the part of the buyers there is little desire shown to operate. At auction 40 tuns of " The directors vacating by rotation, are William Chippindale, Esq., and J. B. Todd, Esq. The auditors, J. Brown, Esq., and F.

The flames commu nicated with the outbuildings of the next house, in the occupation of Mr. Malins, and a large burn and work shop adjoining belonging to Mr. Fletcher, a shoemaker, which were also thatched, so that in three-quarters of an hour the fire was raging with fury over an acre of ground. The inhabitants of the village and a large number of railway labourers exerted themselves to the utmost, the rain also came down in torrents, so that the flames were confined to the places mentioned. At seven o'clock, the Buckingham engine arrived, and soon after, a powerful engine belonging to the Duke of Buck iugham arrived from Stowe. The body of fire was soon considerably reduced, and by eleven o'clock all danger of its further extension was at an encl. The fire is supposed to have been caused by overhee ting the brewhouse flue. MENTS. Sir ROBERT HARRY INGLIS said, about ten weeks ago he called the attention of the Right Hon. Baronet to certain advertisements which had been inserted in the newspapers for the purpose, of raising sweeps for the "Derby." He wished now to ask the Right Hon. Baronet, believing hardly any proceedings causes mere demoralization and mischief, first—whether such advertisements or practices were illegal ; according to his view of the law, and the law officers of the Crown; secondly, if they were illegal, whether the Government was prepared to take any measure to prevent or punish such practices in the future ? Sir G. GREY said that in consequence of the atten tion that had lately been given to this subject, he had made inquiry into the state of the law, and he believed that by a decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, in 1845, it had been held that a lottery for the Derby was an illegal lottery, and it appeared clear that such advertisements as had been alluded to by the Hon. Baronet were prohibited, under the statutes of the 42d of George 11. and the 6th and 7th of Wm. IV., chap. 56. In consequence of these circumstances, some communications had taken place between himself and the Board of Stamps and Taxes, in which it had been stated by the Board that it was their intention to submit certain advertisements to the consideration of the Home office. Those advertisements had not yet been received by him ; when they were, he could assure the Hun. Baronet lin Should give his best attention to them. (LEFT SITTING.) MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.
