SILK TRADE. The Hon. MEMBER then asked whether Government intended to propose any measure on the subject of the Silk Trade to follow that experimental measure, admitting foreign manufactured silk goods at thirty per cent. protec tion* Which would expire on 10th October following. He believed i t was well un d erstoo d t h at measure was mere l y by Way of experiment, and intended only for two years' filtration. ,• Att. C. GRANT said the Hon. Member was quite right in naming the 10th October as the day when the present Act would expire. But, as he should soon have occasion to i„ntresluee a m ea sure upon the subject to the House, the "on. Member would not think it disrespectful to him, if he declined entering into details at present. Mr. LEYCESTER presented a petition from a parish do borsetshire, in favour of Catholic Emancipation.—Or tiered to be printed. Sir M. W. RIDLEY presented petitions from the Roman Catholics of Newcastle-upon-Tyne; of Stoneholin and haddesley, in the county of Warwick, for Catholic Eman cipation. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Medical students of Aberdeen, praying the House to take measures "Pon the subject of anatomy. Lord 110 WICK presented a petition from the Roman Cdtholies of two places in Northumberland, in favour of the Catholic Claims. CORN LAWS. Mr. C. GRANT moved the Order of the Day for the Rouse going into a Committee on the Corn Resolutions. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair, Mr. LEYCESTER said, that although he thought the ling of the duty at 58s. an improvement, yet he had ob 3ections to the resolutions which could not be urged in the Committee. They were, that after the price reached 60s. the measures proceeded by jump and jerks, the effect of Which would be to prevent importation when it was wanted, 44 4 occasion scarcity at one period and too great plenty at another. He had another objection to the difference made h Aween the standard wheat, and that for barley and oats, ° l l Mr. Canning's Bill, although the calculation for that Rdl had been the result of mature observation. That he believed proceeded from the arguments of a Noble Duke who had made various blunders on the subject. He wished the Home Secretary was present, because he wished to if hint whether the currency question was settled, for ` I 8 0 the present scale was adequate; but if tricks were to be played, and 1/. and 21. notes introduced, then the present measure was a delusion. As the S ecretary for the Colonies was in his place, he asked whe ther the system of free trade was to be continued, because his rea son f or acce di ng to t h e presen t R eso l u ti on wou ld be to aid in the accomplishment of that system. Another question he put was the Sinking Fund to he supported ; fa r if it was, why were the landholders to give up the pro tection they had, and, if not, he hoped that the surplus re ve,aue which arose would be applied for the benefit of those W u° wanted it. Mr. R, KING was opposed generally to any alteration l a , the Corn Laws as they stood, and highly approved of th e sentiments of the Hon. Baronet, the Member for West rninater, on a former occasion. The question was then put, and the House went into a ultnittee. The CHAIRMAN (Sir A. Grant) then read the Re solution respecting the duties upon wheat proposed by the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade, when , BENETT said, that the resolutions which he in tended to propose came so near those of the Presiden;, of he` board of Trade, that lie thought that Right Hon. h e ntleman would accede to them. They all approached A t e introduced last year by the Hon. M e mb e r f or Do rse t- I re, which varied but a very little from those proposed y Ythe Go vernmen t thi s y ear . His pivot price would be ver Y nearlY the same as that of last year, 625. Bd., the duty tiot upon which was to be 245. 4d. After som e observe -3 upon the variance of the scales between last year and th e li preeent, the Hon. Member said that any duty more tha What was necessary would be unnecessary for the . !tuled interest, and only tend to render them odious, and 'hat after wheat reached the price of 62e. imperial rim -41, r e or 60s. Winchester, the landed interest stood in need t 'o protection above that price. What he wished was, h at if the duty receded it should do so by slow degrees. Ri a object, therefore, was to gain protection up to that ~.rt ` ", and as it was allowed by all parties , even those who were most anxious to have corn cheap, that it ea eld be best had at home, the landed interest were, t herefore, entitled to support. It had been remarked by the Right Honourable Secretary for the Colonies, that pro tection was given by the present Bill np to 585., but he did at t see how that was, unless Corn could not b e impo r t e d less than 595. The Right Hon. Gentleman, however, itted tbat foreign corn could be imported at 295. 44., ( Win consequence allowed it with a duty of 28s. Bd.- 1 'lo, from Mr. Huskissen. )--The duty, however, pro /To by Government was 28s. Sd., and the balance 295. Would just make it 525. He had heard in former rant that corn could not be imported under 345. 4d., but 7,, a Yea it had actually come into this country at 225., if inquiry were made it would be proved that any 14l atity of good c o rn c o u ld be imported at 245. The im rtation of a dutyserve was never intended to financial o rpol n l i Pcnies, hut merely for protection, and that object ought ~,u 7 to be looked to. As to the surplue population, of which n, t e h • had been said, that was only artificial and arose out of h o ,'" 7 prices of corn, which reduced the price of manual la tilltlrl.et only 625., 604., or even 58s. be secured to the agri to4 Itt, and we should hear no more of surplus popula vi ' Slid poor rates, and the various other evils complained Na'ould -vanish. After observing that he only asked for 4, k t "tiula for the agriculturists merely as a citizen of the te, anxious f or th e w e lf a r e of all class e s belonging to it, (1 1 - j' ai d that he had cast up the various amounts of the s4ko he prop ose d, an d th at th ey amoun t e d t o 21s. Id. on 1 1 averag e , w hil e t h ose o f G overnment amoun t e d t o te, k t: 211 . It had been remarked that during years of pro st'ert there were low prices fur corn, but that when the s t 7e Was open prices were high ; and that, th e r e for e , otter prices were good for the agri cu lt ur i sts , i t wou ld for them not to have a protection. He would say alp too if protection was to produce occasionally high 4, occasionally low prices ; but there was the fallacy, et. u sei if properly applied. it would tend to produce eeZ h noss in every way. Mercantile accumulation in this thi 4 t rY, like the national granaries in China, produce no se . 4 g but high prices and starvation. The best granary Ri c t he stack-yard of the farmer. (Cheers.) The Hon. :.4, 44b er then put in an amendment to make the duty whenever the price was 625. of th e WHITMORE entirely dissented from the principle w ao e Resolutions proposed both this year and last, and th, l , Prepared to show that a system of restriction was nei e,44lor the agricultural interest nor the interest of the t rY generally. The tendency of such a system was to o ka end altogether to the trade in corn. It was not to he . CPected that when corn rose to 625. much of it would : ° , a gbt into the market, because the holders would pr a lly speculate upon a further rise. At 61s. the duty Dti e ,7ed was 1/. 2s. Bd., which decreased gradually as the sy, t ;rofse until it reached 73a. when the duty was Is. No 14, 41 14 could tend more effectually than one of this kind to had e() e fluctuations in the corn trade. While no regular th e :un corn existed, no person could say what the effect of lu er any other duties would be. Mr. Jacob, in his va reihellePort, observed, that in Denmark there was no fo - N t il emend for corn. The consequence was, that the Agri he t : ,4S ts Were distressed, and the taxes were obliged to tioP 44 in kind. There was, of course, a vast ;teem-Dula 10karagricultural produce, which fell to 12s. and even ial P o the quarter. It was clear, that no du ty they could ' 4 41 1 - Would be sufficient to keep out corn of this price , t tiepWaa not, therefore, surprised at the circ um stance fa rti,. :4 °, ne d by the Member for Northumberland, that lis t ?: corn was imported into Newcastle at 245. the All the arguments, ad misericordiam, put forth I, lva 't R ouse, proceeded on the principle that restriction f r e " s ary for the support of the agricultural in terest ; e oxild -e lu what he stated, it would appear that restriction tha t tlot attain the desired object. It might be argued, ea ul( l l lich a glut as that to which he alluded in Denmark, be o at long c o ntinue, admitting that it could not, he r) " te n _ Ete Pared to contend, that any profits which could W etilsr e „ ted in succeeding times of comparative scarcity, %Ni el lot be sufficient to compensate for the losses occa -A„..r. 4,1 a glut. It was important to attend to what ' a ce : f e l' stated in his report with respect to the ex ahbser,,l carriage in some parts of the Continent. He t tlaa t Lthat if it should be necessary to transport corn t he exi;arriage a distance of two hundred and forty miles, would absorb the whole value of the article. "niet,„ -11:9ald now turn to another part of the subject, ( ; ) t. cern . a t., of immense importance, he meant the supply /' had been ridiculed for tke doctrine laid down Faye 4 1 823, which was, that a period of depression Aye b o p followed a period of abundance. There might clotleiuZa error in the details, to which he arrived at this 6 28, th ri, but the principle was just. From 1922 to ~diti e , quantity of corn brought into the market, in ie :h e* ' the home produce, was 4,400,000 quarters. they ZI that they wanted the whole of the corn which sad th e er re i ." / LOY at any time to draw from the Continent, frode ee t ` o re that the alarm, as to the effect of foreign " thi s helm their agriculture, was greatly exaggerated. &a borne ont by Mr. Jacob's report, though th, '°e) , both took differed. Mr. Jacob estimated the ono in their granaries from the North of Europe in 1825 at 870,000 quarters, in the present year at 587,000 qrs. This would seem to indicate that they were making ap proaches to one of the greatest evils by which the country could be afflicted, a deficiency of supply. The apprehensions ofsuch a calamity must be augmented if thepopulation were to go on increasing, and Mr. Jacob said the population of Europe had incereasd nine millions from 1815. In Eng land and Ireland the increase was 3,500,000. If the produce did not keep pace with this increase of popula lation, the effects must he dreadful in the highest degree.__ (Cries of " Question.") He should not be deterred by that cry from the discharge of his public duty. He should now proceed to show that the agricultural interest could derive no advantage from the proposed duties. If they placed themselves in the artificial situation to which these duties naturally led, they must soon expect to reap all the evils consequent upon a deficient:harvest. What was the result of the Bill of 1515 ? From 1815 to 1819 prices were high. This, however, was occasioned by a defective harvest, and not by the duty. A rapid fall of prices suc ceeded, and they eventually came down to 655. 10d., 545., and at last so low at 395., and this while the Corn Laws were in full operation. In 1818 it was tine the prices fell a little, because the granaries of Europe were ransacked for a supply. If the Corn Laws of 1915 came into opera tion, it would have been ruinous, owing to the speculation then afloat in every article of trade; and if again it were in operation in 1825, no man could calculate the still more ruinous results. This year the prices of corn were considerably reduced, almost to a state of depression ; but that resulted from causes different to those which had been assigned for such an effect. The existing system led to fluctuation, and must necessarily do so. The opera tion of the system was confused, not plain and simple, and until a change was effected the same evils would continue to follow on the system of fluctuation. The law tended to raise the price, but it could not realize the amount sought for. The farmer in such a case must be the sufferer ; a fair permanent duty could alone save him. The restrictive system produced this suffering, and must, in the end, prove destructive to the landed proprietors. If a regular trade were allowed in Corn, those fluctuations would not take place, and other agricultural produce would increase in price. If a fair system were adopted, every acre in the land would be turned into profitable cultivation, and taking the value of land in England since 1773, it had encreased threefold. Sa had the whole of our exports and imports in wool, silk, cotton, and all other commodities. Having said so much, he would nut further trespass on the atten tion of the House, he would merely propose his Resolutions. Sir A. GRANT said there were other Resolutions now before the House by way of amendment. • Mr. W. WHITSIORE was aware of that fact; but those before the Committee were so utterly at variance with each other, that he must persevere in pressing his own Resolutions. On the Resolution (Mr. Benett's) that the duty should decrease 2s. when the price of wheat was from 625. to 675. a quarter, strangers were ordered to withdraw; but though we were absent for a considerable time, we under stood upon our return to the gallery, that no division had taken place. When we re-entered the gallery, we found Mr. Secretary PEEL addressing the House. The Right lion. Gentleman was citing extracts from the Re port of Mr. Jacob, showing, that wheat imported from Dantzic into the Island of Guernsey, was sold at a very considerable loss to the grower, although it actually was shipped as ballast. When the duty in this country was at 265. 8,1. there were only 2,000 quarters of corn imported, and taking the average price of the foreign cost, anti the charges attending the shipping and other expences, to gether with the amount of duty, he felt satisfied, supposing the foreign cost price to be equal to twenty-nine shillings, that it would be impossible to inflict any serious injury to the British grower. At such a price foreign importa tion would not take place ; it would be too high for the mere speculator, and the foreign grower would not risk the loss which he must necessarily suffer. The Committee had the evidence of Sir Claude Scott, and Mr. Jacob, in justification of his opinion, and for the present he felt it unnecessary to occupy their further attention. Mr. PORTMAN felt it necessary to offer a few words, in order to show that if the Right Hon. Gentleman could make out a good case as to Guernsey or Rotterdam, he (Mr. Portman) could meet it by two more important eases —►hose of Dantzic and of Hamburgh. The case of Guernsey was merely an isolated case, and therefore could not be considered to have any fair bearing on the question. But, suppose the case of Rostock was taken as a set-uff. There the price was only 225., which, as compared with that of Guernsey at 275., offered no very material differ ence. He here begged leave to state, that he did not op pose the scale proposed by his Majesty's Government from any selfish motives—(hear) —but as he really did not think adequate protection would be afforded front the British farmer by it, it became his duty to oppose it. If the Dantzic wheat, bought fairly in that market for 305., could be brought into competition with our corn, the British farmer would he left without protection. Even suppose an average of four places where we had foreign corn, he contended that the speculator would throw the British farmer entirely out of a protecting price. Below his. a quarter in this country there was no chance for the British grower, as against the foreigner or the home speculator. Now looking to Mr. Jacob's second report, he found that corn from Mecklenburgh could be had at about 205., and front Embden and other places at nearly similar prices. Beside, whatever foreign corn came here must be sold, and there again was an evil to the English farmer. The price of corn had been for some years under 605., and if the foreigner came into the market, the result must be perfectly obvious. He hoped his Majesty's Government would give him credit for the sincerity of the motives, which thus in duced him to come forward.—(Hear, hear.)—He had a painful but a necessary duty to perform ; but he was pre pared to contend, without the fear of contradiction, that if adequate protection was not afforded to the English farmers, that they would be even still worse oft than they had been in the course of the last year. Mr. PEEL said, that even upon the evidence of Sir Claude Scott, it appeared, that the price of wheat at Ros tock was nearly thirty-one shillings, and indeed, that tak ing the average of the different foreign ports, whence corn was most likely to be shipped, the price would be little short of the state amount, without including the charge for freight or profit to the grower, or any other• incidental expences. There was only one cargo of Pomeranian corn which was sold at twenty-two shillings ; that was an ex treme case, and Sir Claude Scott further stated, that at such a price the grower must have been a considerable loser. So far then, it must he qtlite evident that the English agriculturist had no just ground for serious appre hension.—(Cries of Question.) Mr. PORTMAN had only recently received a commit nic ition front Rostock, dated in the course of last month, front whence it appeared that the price of wheat from that place, shipped on board (duty free) did not amount to more than 23s.—(Hear, hear.)—That statement might be against his general position, but it was, nevertheless, his duty to state it fairly. Sir W. W. WYNN, as far as we understand, expressed himself friendly to some modified plan, between that pro posed last year and that of the present . Mr. LESLIE FOSTER contended that the scale now proposed would afford ample protection to the British agri culturists. He gave his full support to the present mea sure. They might have either too much or too little pro tection, and he wished that protection which would not be liable to abuse. Between 58s. and 655. every proper pro• tection would be afforded to the home grower. The ques tion lire was, at what price could foreign Corn be brought into ttis market —even supposing there was a free trade in Corn ? Why, the average of seven years gave about 325. a quarter, without the demand in England, which was the greatest customer in the world. That price of 325. was the minimum of the price, and in fact, the whole question of protection was one of degree.—(Cries of hear, and question.)—lt should not be forgotten, that one great de ment in making the calculations of a protecting price had been altogether lost sight of, he meant the state of demand in this market. If there were a scarcity here, Corn would rise in price on the Continent ; and if our harvests were abundant here, it would be there comparatively low. It mattered little what the price might be at Odessa or Hamburgh at any given period. The only fair way of estimating the importing price here would be, the average of several years, when our harvests were neither over abundant, nor the reverse. Taking then that mode of estimating the price, whence protection should commence and end, he thought the present scale entitled to general support.—(Cries of question.) Mr. HUSKISSON said that the Hon. Member (Mr. Port►nan) seemed to rely principally on the evidence of Sir Claude Scott ; but that had already been sufficiently re plied to by his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Peel), and he would therefore say no more upon that subject. With re spect to the price of wheat at Mecklenburgh, they had the evidence of Mr. Jacob to show that the average cost, for a period of six years, was not under 255. 10d. ; and that too of such inferior quality, that it could not come into our market when British wheat was at 555. It might have happened that a single cargo was sold at 225. ; but then, he would venture to assert that it could only have been the case when there was a glut in our market; and that while the grower suffered a severe loss, the speculator had reason to repent his bargain. When the price of foreign wheat was at 295. id., then, he said, it would act as a prohibi tion against its import. The Hon. Member for Wilts (Mr. Benett) had this night made many admissidins, fa which he begged to thank him ; but one was of great im portance, namely, that he sought for no higher protecting price than from 60s. to 62s.—(Cries of " Question.") Mr. WARD, in order to secure the country Irons a dangerous fluctuation in prices would at present rather agree to the protection being excessive than too low, and under such circumstances he should support the Resolu tions introduced by his Majesty's Government. Sir T. GOOCH had paid considerable attention to the statements made by the different Members, and was now quite satisfied with the scale proposed by Ministers.—. (Hear, hear.) Mr. A. BARING certainly preferred the present scale of duties, to that proposed in the course of last year. The Hon. Member agreed in the statement respecting foreign ports. It really was idle to be speaking of the price of corn in this port and that port. Rotterdam where all the ports sent their corn, maintained a steady price. The average was from 325. to 345., and that port was so near the Thames that it would always be ready to supply the wants of this country, How was it possible with an ex port trade of 40 millions, to avoid taking the corn and commodities of other countries; whilst we exported to that amount it was useless for gentlemen to expect to have their corn, wool, and oak, at enormous high prices. The disproportion of prices never could be kept up. He thought the amendment could not succeed, and he really felt that his Majesty's Government ought to support their own views upon the question, and be prepared to guard the public interest. Sir M. W. RIDLEY supported the proposition of his Majesty's Government. At the same time he did not think good corn laws could be established without the settlement of the currency question. Mr. BENETT replied in support of his amendment. He wished it to be understood, and to go out to the country, that he wanted no price beyond 625. He had heard so much on the price of corn in foreign markets, that he was convinced it was impossible to tell what the steady price of foreign corn was. Mr. WODEHOUSE expressed a hope that his Hon. Friend, the Member for Wilts, would give up his amend ment, mid not lower himself in the public estimation, by offering further opposition► to a measure which he consi dered founded upon justice, and due attention to the in terest of the agriculturists. It gave them all they bad a right to expect. The question being loudly called for, the Committee dirided— For the Amendment Against it ... 230 Majority --195 The Resolution which makes the descending scale ls., when the price is 625., and the duty 1/. ss. Bd., having been read, Mr. PORTMAN moved an amendment, to increase the descending duty by making it 2s. Mr. WESTERN said, the question proposed by the Hon. Member had been decided, still he could not help saying he thought the Right Hon. Gentleman had not made out to the Committee the reason which had indnced him to abandon the descending scale of prices agreed upon last year. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman what discovery had been made to induce him to abandon that scale, and adopt one which gave inferior protection. Mr. HUSKISSON said, the Bill of last year did not afford sufficient protection, therefore the present proposition was resorted to. Colonel WOOD supported the measure. Sir T. ACLAND expressed a hope that his Hon. Friend would not press his amendment. Mr. PORTMAN was desirous of taking the sense of the House. If a majority should be against him it was his intention to give up further opposition. Mr. Secretary PEEL said this measure had been a considerable time before Parliament, and its adoption had been secured by a large majority. If there was not an ab solute necessitf.for the increase:of the scale, it would be im proper to alter the character of the measure, which afforded protection to agriculture. Sir E. KNATCHI3ULL thought it would be useless for his Hon. Friend to divide on the amendment, but if he went to a division, he should give his vote for the amend ment. After a few remarks from Mr. CURTEIS atld Mr. C. Wirwrr, the Committee divided— Ayes Noes ...... Majority against the Amendment —9O The Chairman then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. THE CLARENCE BRIDGE. Mr. G ORDON gave notice that he should move the second reading of the Royal Clarence Bridge Bill on Monday. The other Orders of the Day were then postponed, and the Nonce adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock. CORN LAWS. BENETT'S PROPOSED SCALE OF DUTIES TO REGULATE THE IMPORTATION OF WHEAT.

This day the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord ELLENBOROUGH,Lord MARYBOROUGH,Lord BEXLEY, Mr. C. GRANT, Mr. HusKlssoN, Mr. HERRIES, Mr. ARBUTHNOT, and Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS, sat at the Board of Trade as a Coin Committee. Mr. BARINc, was in attendance to give evidence touching the circulation of the currency, and the propriety of making silver a legal tender. Yesterday the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank were examined. The debate last night, in the House of - Lords. was highly interesting and animated. The Earl of ELDON made several fresh efforts to defeat the Bill for the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The Noble Lord took fire at the insinuation of his being mis chievous, and almost in the well-known words of Cardinal WoLsEY, deplored the return he had met with for the zeal which he had shown in the service of his KING. But WOLSEY confessed that he had not served 'his God, which surely cannot be the case with the Noble Earl, who has long been considered a pillar of the Church of. England ; and deservedly too, as far as persecuting other persuasions can reckon in that account. The speech of the Bishop of LINCOLN ought to immortalise his name. It was spoken in the true spirit of a Christian Prelate, and he must be a base seceder from the purest Church in the World, who would dream of using any power he may acquire by the Bill under discussion—in touching those temporali ties, which the Rev. Prelate is nevertheless ready to peril in the cause of Religion and Chris tian Charity. The Earl of WINCHILSEA is evidently pre paring himself to take the place of the vener able Earl of ELDON, whenever it appears to Providence that the Noble and Learned Lord has sufficiently afflicted mankind by a resi dence in our Planet. It is really melancholy to find so much intolerance and narrowness of mind under the fair exterior of youth and rank. A Deputation of 14 Members of the Malt sters' Association waited this day upon the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, with whom they had a long conference. It is now said that the passage of the Pruth is postponed to the 14th of May, in order to give the PORTE more time for consideration.— We think that they have had too much time already. The French Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France dated Thursday, have been received. An article from Constantinople, of the 26th March, says that the PORTE is greatly annoyed at having received from Alexandria the disagreeable news that the PACIIA, urged by the menaces of the French and English Consuls, has sent orders to his sen IBRAHIM to evacuate the Morea. This resolution of the PACHA has caused a great sensation at Constantinople, and has greatly irritated the SULTAN. The Con vention of July 6 would, it was supposed, in consequence, be executed de facto, and the Greek question solved. The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 18th, and the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 19th, have been received. It appears by a rescript of the King of BAVARIA, that in consequence of the late Sittings of the Parliament, the Army will not be called out for exercise this summer. VIENNA, APRIL 14.—Metallives, 881; Bank Shares, 10071. Sincapore Chronicles to the 23d of Novem ber have been received ; they contain little infor mation of importance. The gentlemen of the Settlement, to the number of sixty, had given a grand dinner to the lion. Mr. PRINCE, the late resident, on his departure for Europe. This gentleman had embarked, under a salute, on board the Dutch ship Thalia, to proceed to North Island, there to join the Hon. Company's ship Buckinghamshire, on her return voyage to England. These Papers contain an extract of a letter f ro m Macao of the 16th May, announcing by the Pekin Gazettes four days later than the last accounts, a third victory over the Ma hometan rebels. After the preceding defeat, in which, by the official accounts, between 40 and 50,000 were slain or taken prisoners, the enemy collected the remains of his former army, to the number of 100,000 men, who ranged themselves in the mountains in two ways, near the village of Wapa-tih. CHANG...LING divided his forces into two wings, and advanced against the rebels ; after an attack of musketry and cannon, the rebels feigned a retreat, rallied, and after a determined fight were, however, defeated, with the loss of between 20 and 30,000 men, with the principal leaders. INFORMATIONS AT CARLISLE.--Within the last few days reports have been current, and it is feared with too much truth, that three individuals have been exchequered. One, the landlord of one of the head inns, another a bookseller, and the third a printer of a periodical. The amount sf the charges is said to be up wards of 6,0001. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

There has been little business doing in the British Funds this morning, the abundance of money still continues, a well as the scarcity of money stock ; from these two causes the present high price of the English Funds may be de duced, which set at defiance, as long as the public do no► come forward to sell stock, the common calculations of events. Consols opened at 854 4, and some purchases of money stock advanced them to 86; the market has since become rather heavy, and the present price is 854 1 . An extensive side effected in the New 4 per Cents. has depressed the price from 1021 to 102 i. India Bonds and Exchequer Bills remain stationary, and not the least variation has oc curred, the former being 98 100, and the latter, 64 5' pm. The Foreign Funds seem to be nearly deserted, and no business has been done in them this morning ; Russian Bonds are 89i 90 ; Danish, 594 604 ; Mexican, 34i- 4 ; end Brazilian, 59i- 60. In Shares Brazilian Mines are aomewhat lower, being 46 8 pm. ; this is produced by the prospect of another speculation being, as it is stated, shortly to be brought cut by a principal and original promoter of the present Company. Three per Cent. Consols, 85i; Ditto, for the Ac count, 854; India Bonds, 98 100 pm.; Exchequer Bills, 64 5 premium. TWO 0' CL 0 CE.

Mr. SUGDEN stated, he had to make an application for a special injunction in this case. The facto were simply these. Mr. Clarke was possessed of certain premises in Southwark, which he let to Messrs. Lea and Easton, who are experimental engineers, with cove nants that they should insure the premises. Messrs. Les and Easton under-let part of these premises to Mr. Hopkins, a cotton-wadding manufacturer, whose trade was considered so dangerous that no Insurance Office would insure the pre mises. Upon Mr. Clarke discovering this circumstance, he immediately came to this Court for an injunction to restrain the further carrying on of this trade. His Loansmr dissolved the injunction. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. INJUNCTION. HOLMES V. JENNINCS AND ANOTHER. In this case Mr. Itos applied for and obtained an ex-parte injunction to restrain the defendants from selling certain property under a bill of sale granted by the plaintiff, upon the express condition that it would not be acted on before next Michaelmas. The plaintiff also alleged ether equities. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. No case of the slightest interest came on in this Court up to the time of our paper going to press. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Court in the early part of the day dispised of twine uninteresting 'notions. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) FISH-NIARKET, BILLINGSGATE.

THE MURDER AT POLSTEAD. POLSTEAD, FRIDAY. —On Wednesday Corder was sem' , under the custody of Lea, of Lambeth-street, and a country constable, named Ayres, by the Defiance coach, to Col chester. During their journey the prisoner conducted him self with such levity as to disgust every person on the roof of the coach, much more those acquainted with the nature of the offence with which he was charged. At nine o'clock the prisoner arrived at the George Inn, Colchester. The news of his apprehension had some way preceded him, and immense crowds were collected before the inn. Lea conducted his prisoner to the room appropriated to the coach passengers, intending that he should remain there until he could place him in a situation of greater security ; but the crowd was so great, and their anxiety to gain a sight of the prisoner so intense, that the offi cers deemed it absolutely necessary to remove the prisoner to a place of security, and requested Mr. Smith, the land , lord of the George, to procure a private secure room. This I was done instantly, and some common but necessary It-- I freshments having been supplied to the prisoner, Lea left him in the custody of Ayres, while he proceeded to the gaol of the town, a corporate one by the bye, and yclept " the Castle." There he saw the Governor, Mr. Smith, to whom he stated the business. Mr. Smith inquired whether he bad a warrant for his commitment to that spe cific gaol, and, on learning he had not, he refused to re ceive him. It was finally arranged that the prisoner should remain at the Inn for the night. He was secured by one hand to the bed-post, acrd by the other to the wrist of his bedfellow, the constable. Before retiring to rest, he wrote a letter to his mother, of which the following is a verbatim copy " Colchester, George Inn, Wednesday Night, _ _ Eleven o'Clock. " Dear Mother—_l scarcely dare presume to address you. having a full knowledge of the shame, disgrace, and I may truly add, a stain for ever cast upon nay friend:, family, and late formed connexions. I have but few minute; to write, and being unfortunately labouring under this serious charge, I have to solicit that you will receive Mr. Moote, on Friday morning, with whom may probably be my in jured, lawful, and I must do her jnstice to say, worthy and affectionate wife. I have always experienced from every branch of their family the kindest treatment hope and trust ►the same will be returned from you the short time they continue in this part of the country, which I am sorry to have to state is to hear the event of this dreadful catas trophe. lam happy to hear you are tolerably well consi dering the circumstances. I may, perhaFs, be allowed an interview with you in a day or two, but that is very un certain. Must beg to subscribe myself your affectionate son, " W. CORDER." The last paragraph had been altered by partial erasute. Including the blotted part, it ran thus :—" Must beg to subscribe tnyself your unfortunately, though unworthy, son, " W. CORDER." The letter was addressed as follows on the outside : " Mrs. Corder, Polstead by Stoke, favoured by Mr. Satchpool." Among those who saw him was the Rev. Mr. Sea man, a clergyman, resident near Colchester, who was ac quainted with his family. The Rev. Gentleman begged him to unbosom himself, but the prisoner made no answer, and confined himself to a general acknowledgement of the obligations he was under to the Rev. Divine for his kind intentions. The conduct of the prisoner was far different on Thurs day from what it was on the previous day. At times he paced about the room, scarcely speaking for an hour together, and his head downcast. Once or twice in the course of the day he exclaimed, while pacing the room, in a half suppressed voice, " Oh ! if I could but be as free from sin as my beloved wife is." About nine o'clock on Thursday evening Mr. Taylor, the Chief Clerk in the Banking-house of Messrs. Alexan der and Co., of Manningtree, and Mr. Dale, of the White Hart Inn, which is opposite to the Banking-house, arrived in Colchester, and had an interview with the prisoner, who they both instantly declared to be the person who had obtained 931. from the Bank upon a cheque, which it is alleged was forged. On entering the room where the pri soner was, Mr. Taylor, advancing to him with a cheque in his hand, said, "Pay me the money ; the 901. odd you obtained on this cheque." The prisoner appeared dumb founded, and held down his head. Mr. Taylor again ad dressing him said, " Why don't you look me in the face ; hold up your head like a moo," The prisoner made no reply, but kept his head down for full two minutes, when he threw himself into a chair, and covered his face with his hands. Messrs. Taylor and Dale then retired. At half-past eleven o'clock en Thursday night the pri soner was removed, well secured, and attended by Lea and Ayres, in a poet-chaise, to the Cock Inn, at Polsteud. In the accounts which have appeared of the circum stances which led to the discovery of the body of nail Marten, there are some slight inaccuracies. The prisoner, who is the son of a widow lady, rented an estate of 400 acres in the neighbour hood, had formed an intimacy with the deceased, who was the daughter of a common labourer. The re.snit was the birth of a child, which subsequently died. The parents of the girl, as well as herself, had im portuned the prisoner to marry her, and at last he pro fessed his willingness so to do. On the 18th of May he agreed to meet her at the Red Barn, belonging to his mo ther, which is situate on the brow of a hill, and is distant fifty hards from any house. He, in the presence of her mother, requested she might dress herself in male attire, for the purpose of avoiding notice, and said he would fol low with a gig, and take her to Ipswich, where the mar riage ceremony was to be performed. It would appear she was in the act of changing her dress when the foul deed was perpetrated, for the coat worn by her and the hat, and her own bonnet, were found lying beneath her, and her remains were completely dressed in her proper attire, with the exception of her gown. Neither the gown nor the trowsers have been discovered. PeRTHER PARTICULARS. FRIDAY ArrsAYOON.—The prisoner reached Po'stead by two o'clock this morning. He was lodged at the only public-house in the village. It is art obscure tate, and does not contain more than twenty or thirty houses.— The barn where the body was found lies abcut half a mile to the left of the village. Since the examination of the body the barn has been narrowly inspected. There are some perferations of small shot, about the size of No. 7, observable in one of the walls, and there are also some spots and stains on the floor, which by many are consi dered to have been produced by blood. It is said, that the prisoner was seen going in a direction from the barn about four hours after the time when the assignation was to have taken place, with a pickaxe on hie shoulder. It is also said that proof will be tendered that he borrowed a spade on the same day. The witnesses speak to the precise day, from the fact of its having been the second day of the Polstead Fair. At six o'clock in the evening the jury re turned a verdict of wilful murder against William Corder. The unhappy young man is only twenty-four years old. He was brought into the room to hear the depositions read, and was in so melancholy a state of bodily and mental prostration, as to appear wholly unconscious of what w a s going on. From the evidence of the surgeon, it would appear the murder had been effected with a sharp instrument plunged through the orbit if the eye into the brain. It was proved the prisoner was possessed_ of a small sword that might inflict such a wound, and that he had taken it to Hadleigh and had it ground to a fine point a few days previous to the presumed day of the murder. A reticule which the de ceased had with her on the day of her elopement, was found in the house of the prisoner at Ealing. The Duke of CLARENCE, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and the Duchess of GLoucEsTER his 'MAJESTY yesterday, at his Palace in St. Jam e4 '., The LORD CHANCELLOR) the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Count 31UNSTF.A, had au di ences yester day of the Kia.G.
