Despatches were yesterday received at thts office from Commodore Sir J. J. Bremer, C. 8., addressed to R. More O'Ferrall, Esq., of which the following are copies Her Majesty's Ship Wellesley, off Anunhoy, January 18, 1841. Sir,—l have the honour to forward, for their lordships' in formation, copy of an amended return of ordnance captured, on the 7th instant, at Chuenpee and Tycocktow, by which they will perceive that two eight and a half-inch howitzers were taken ; they are nearly like the new pattern eight-inch howitzer now in use in our service. The examination of the entrenchments and field.batteries in front of the position of Chnenpee, has caused me much sur prise ; they display considerable science, and are so formidable, that they must have cost us many men to carry, if the Chi nese had not been forcedAfroin them by shells, with which they are entirely unacquainted. I beg to acquaint their Lordships, that Lieutenant Bingham, senior of Modeste, received a most severe and painful wound (fracture of the leg, in blowing up the fort of Tycocktow), which will cause his loss to the service for some time. Mr. Arthur Vyner, mate of the Blenheim, is also suffering much, but is not in any danger ; he was blown up by the springing of one of the enerry's mines. I beg to recommend these officers and Lieutenant Watson, senior of Calliope (who was employed in that ;ship's boats), and Lieutenant Harrison and Mr. Ed wards, mate of the Larne (employed in her boats in the de struction of the junks), to their Lordships' notice. I avail myself of this occasion to express my hope that their Lordships may be pleased to bestow some mark of their favour on Captain Ellis, Royal Marines, of this ship ; this meritorious oh officer was in Sir Robert Calder's action at Trafalgar, in the Potomac, and in very many other brilliant affairs. The order which he established in the battalion of Royal Marines, and the gallantry with which he led the advance of the force on the 7th, was such as to entitle him to my thanks and admiration, and I venture to recommend him to their Lordships accord ingly.

Her Majesty's ships Calliope, Chuenpee, China, Jan. 7, 1841. Ste,--You witnessed the manner the ships you did me the honour to place under my orders, took up their position within pistol-shot of the batteries of Chuenpee, the rapidity with which the) were silenced, and the union jack hoisted in the forts, and how nobly they were stormed on the land side by our gallant troops (land forces and marines). • This service performed, the war junks, agreeably to your orders, were my next object ; and I directed the steamers, as sisted by the boats of the ships under my orders, to their at tack; but, from the shoalness of the water, the Nemesis and boats could be only employed; they were efficiently conducted, and, from their fire, soon caused the crews of the junks to desert them, succeeded in capturing ten out of thir teen. The Admiral's junk was blown up by a rocket from the Nemesis, thus crippling the naval armament of the Chinese in this quarter. _ This i)art of the force operating against the enemy was most ably and efficiently conducted by Commander Belcher, of the Sulphur, showing to every advantage the powerful force of this description of war-steamer, combining, as she does, a commanding armament with light draft of water. He speaks in terms of high commendation of Lieutenant Kellett, of the Starling, conducting the Queen steamer, assisted by Mr. Crouch, gunnery mate of the Wellesley, and has expressed his high admiration of the most gallant manner in which the boats of the Calliope and Larne passed on to a veryi mpressive at tack on the war-junks to the northward of the Nemesis, which he found, in coming up, in the possession of a, seaman, each as prize masters, reflecting great credit on Lieutenant Wat son, of the Calliope, and H arr i son , o f t h e L arne, ass i sted by five mates (Messrs. Daly, St. Leger, Rivers, and Eger ton, of the Calliope, and Mr. Rowland Edwards, of the' Larne). . . From the vessels being captured in a narrow channel, and close to the villages, the ebb tide running strong, with an im perfect knowledge of the channel, Commander Belcher con sidered it too great a risk to wait the uncertainty of getting the junks out of the different positions in which they were taken, and gave directions for their being destroyed. To Commanders Blake and Warren, of the Larne and Hya cinth, my best thanks are due for their co-operation, as well as all employed on this occasion. I have the honour, &c.. (Signed) T.

George Hockey, aged 23, described as a dealer, was in dicted for stealing five horses and other articles, value 100/., the property of Wm. Barnes. Mr. Phillips conducted the prosecution and Mr. Clark son defended the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that he was a proprietor of cabs in Henrietta-street, Brunswick-square. The prisoner hired a cab from him in the month of March last, at four pounds a week, and subsequently he had some horses. He paid for them regularly up to the 7th April, when the witness discovered that the prisoner had absconded with the horses. The wit ness proceeded, from information he received, to Robin son's Repository, and there discovered his property. He gave information to the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Cross-examined.—Has borne his present name ever since he came to London in October last. Lived in Ips wich before he came to London. Kept the Golden Lion there. His name was Creesey there. Left Ipswich in consequence of his becoming involved in debts contracted by his wife before his marriage. His wife was a widow, and kept the Golden Lion before the witness married her. Mr. CLARICSON—I suppose you married the widow ex pecting to get something from her ? Witness—l did ; but I had to pay 1,000/. Several witnesses were examined, and in the course of the examination it transpired that there was a kind of partnership concern existing between the prosecutor and the prisoner, and Mr. Clarkson having addressed the Jury they immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Louise Mirabello, aged 22, a Frenchwoman, respectably attired, was indicted for stealing three watches, and a guard-chain, the property of John Austin, in the dwell ing-house of Caroline Pudney. Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clark son appeared for the prisoner. Mrs. Caroline Pudney deposed that she P resided in Bond-street, and on the 24th of April, in the morning, the prisoner came to her house and hired apartments, which she said were for the Baroness Monval, who was expected from Dover that evening at six o'clock. The prisoner did not take possession of the apartments, neither did she ever hear of the Baroness Monval. Thomas Webb, shopman to Mr. Austin, a jeweller in Oxford-street, proved that, on the day in ,question, the prisoner came to his employer's shop, and asked to look at some watches, and she ultimately selected three watches, valued at about 331., and a gold chain, worth five guineas, and she requested that they might be sent to the house of Mrs. Pudney, for the Baroness Monval to choose which she preferred. Witness took the jewellery, and saw the prisoner, and he handed her the property, and she left the room, and after he had waited for some time in the expectation of her returning, he made in quiries, and ascertained that she left the house with the property, which was afterwards found at the pawn broker's. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but at the same time recommended her to mercy. Mr. Justice COLTMAN said he observed there was an other charge against the prisoner, and he inquired whether Mr. Bodkin considered it necessary to proceed with it ? Mr. BODKIN said he was not instructed in that casl, The Learned JUDGE then ordered the prisoner to be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for one year. The prosecutor of the second indictment appeared dis satisfied at the course that was adopted, and said that he considered the second case should be gone into. Mr. Justice COLTMAN inquired whether there were any additional facts in that case which might induce the Court to take a different view of the offence the prisoner had committed. 1 The prosecutor replied that he considered it was a case of a more aggravated character. The prisoner was then again placed at the bar, and in dicted for- stealing some silk stockings, and other articles, the property of Michael John Geoghegan. After evidence had been heard, Mr. Justice COLTMAN said he did not think the case that had just been disposed of at all altered the complexion of the case, and there fore he should not alter the original sentence he had passed upc n her, of a year's imprisonment. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. zu~-a_'_ .

She may learn to dress better, to step more gracefully ; her head may assume a more elegant turn, her conversation be come more polished, her air more distinguished ; but in point of attraction she acquires nothing. Her simplicity of mind departs—her generous confidin7 impulses of cha racter, are lost—she is no lo n ger inclined to interpret fa vourably of men and things—she listens without believ ing—sees without admiring—has suffered persecution without learning mercy, and been taught to mistrust the candour of others by the forfeiture of their own. Th:i freshness of her disposition has vanished with the fresh ness of her complexion ;lard lines are perceptible in her very soul, and crowsfeet contract her very fancy. No longer pure and fair as the statue of alabaster, her beauty, like that of some painted waxen effigy, is tawdry and meretricious. It is not alone the rouge upon the cheek and the false tresses adorning the forehead which repel the ardour of admiration ; .it is the artificiality of mind with which such efforts are connected that breaks the spell of beauty.

HAvar, MAY 13.—The American ship Crescent, Captain Ball, arrived here yesterday evening with the remainder of the passengers of the William Brown who were saved in the long boat. The arrival of this vessel has confirmed all the horrid details given of the dreadful scene which took place during tho night of the 20th and 21st of April. Of the sixteen pas senger. who were thrown into the sea, fourteen were men and two women ; of the seventeen saved, fifteen are women and two are men. One of these men was seized for the purpose of being thrown overboard by the crew of the boat. He cried out to the mate to save him, and not to tear him from his wife. The mate told the men not to separate man and wife if it were possible to help it. He fell into the bottom of the boat, and was saved. A boy of twelve years old was thrown overboard. He caught hold of the boat, and, favoured by the [darkness of the night, crouched under the bows, and was saved. All the women saved are young, except the mother of a Scotch family from Dumfriesshire, who, with her five daughters and a servant girl, was saved, her name is Edgar. Her husband and son are settled in German-town, near Philadelphia. A young woman with her infant at the breast suzceeded in getting into the boat with her husband ; they are amongst the survivors. His name is Patrick, from Cook's -town, county Tyrone, the property of Col. Stewart. Several persons from that gentleman's estate or neighbour. hood have met with a watery grave. One family of the name of Leyden (sixteen in all) sunk with the vessel; an other, named Corr—father, mother and five children—sunk at the same time ; the little boy who was thrown from the boat was one of that family. He had not a soul left belonging to him. They were also from Colonel Stewart's preperty. A Mrs. Anderson, with three c hild ren , w h o wa s g o i ng to join her husband, a medical gentleman settled at Cincinnati, sunk with the ship. Miss Anderson and a Miss Bradley were thrown into the sea from the long-boat. The tales which the survivors relate are piteous and. horrifying. The crew and passengers have beets examined by the British and American Consuls this morning, and the impression is, that the dreadful act of throw ing their fellow-creature overboard was of imperious necessity ; but it is to be hoped that the two Consuls will give publicity to the examination, in order that the public mind may be satisfied on this point. PENZANCE.—A few days back a gentleman called at the houce of a merchant in this town, and requested an interview with one of the principals, in which he stated, that having been involved some years since in pecuniary diffi culties, his creditors had accepted a composition of 15s. in the pound. From that time Providence has blessed his temporal concerns, and his object in calling was to pay the balance of his account. He had had the pleasure of p ay i ng a ll hi s cred i tors N an indu s t r i ous working man, and t fi i nd.

Every ex ertion was made to extricate the •sufferer, and through the activity of tthe persons congregated, in about twenty minutes the body of Revell was dug out, but life was extinct. POISONING A FAMILY.--The family of Mr. Joseph Powell, farmer, of Edmonton, have within the last few days miraculously escaped being poisoned to death. The particulars, as far as they have transpired, are as folloW :—Mrs. Powell, who is in a delicate state of health, has been accustomed to take for supper a basin of new milk boiled. This was brought to her by the female servant on Tuesday night last. She took a spoonful or two, and complained that the taste was disagreeable, and that it made her feel sick. Her two sons each tasted it. They then called in the girl, and desired her to do the same, but she manifested great reluctance, and said that she had had her supper, and had no wish for anything more. The mistress and her sons then said, "If you do not taste a spoonful or two, we shall think you have put something bad in it ;" upon this she took a portion, when they all because ill,• Mrs. Powell alarmingly so, belieg siezed with violent retelling, and complaining of and stoma - . burning pain in the throat • A medical man was immediately sent for, and partial relief was afforded, but the life of Mrs. Powell is considered in much dan ger ; she is unable to leave her bed. The servant t girl, The also, is in a precarious state. basin containing the milk has been preserved, and found to contain arsenic, as well as the pan from whence it was t a k en. There is much mystery in the transaction. The girl is too ill yet to give any testimony. 13RA nFottp.—The inhabitants of this place have not been idle ; th e y are looking with intense interest, to the struggle that is about to take place in Parliament on the subject of the Corn-laws, and a petition praying for the repeal of them is in course of signature.— ll'ilts Independent. The best definition Boswell could obtain of the word taste, after asking many literary men of the day, was the following one by Lord Stowell----c, That faculty of the mind which leads a Scotchnian to prefer England to his own country." ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. The following Address, already adverted to in The Sun, was agreed to by the Corporation of Norwich on the 11th inst. : TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN. We, the Town Council, &c., approach the Throne with the sincerest feelings of gratitude towards your Majesty for the ,mild and constitutional discharge of the important duties of your high station, since your Majesty's accession to the inheritance of your ances tors. But while we express the deep sense of the vast debt we owe to your Majesty for the firmness with which you have preserved the prerogative of the Crown, and at the same time upheld the just rights and liber ties of your faithful subjects, we cannot but with the deepest regret lament that contending factions should obstruct the salutary and beneficial reforms intro duced under your Majesty's sanction, by your Ministers ; particularly a Bill for the benefit of your Irish subjects, which would have restored peace and happiness to that unjustly-oppressed, but loyal part of your Majesty's do minions ; and also the finance measure, which we, in common with millions of your Majesty's distressed sub jects, consider of the greatest importance to the future prosperity of the country, inasmuch as it would give a fair and honest protection to all classes, relieve the pecu niary embarrassments of the State, and at the same time diminish the burdens of the people. In this chaos of conflicting interests, we view with fear and dread the prospect •of affairs. From the hereditary branch of the Legislature, a large majority of whom have so deep and selfish an interest in preserving the pre sent corn monopoly (the root of all our evils), we have long since abandoned all hopes of relief ; and as little can be expected from the elective branch—as the last general election, and all subsequent elections, have proved that " corruption ranges with such gigantic stride," that dissolving the Parliament would be merely an advertisement that the whole mass of the constituency was to be offered for sale to the highest bidder. Under such fearful circumstances, we, your Majesty's faithful subjects, have no hope or reliance but on your Majesty, and we humbly and fervently entreat your Ma jesty to cast the protecting shield of your Royal prero gative over your dutiful and loyal people ; and resist the arts and intrigues of a desperate faction, who on a former occasion insolently attempted to deprive your Majesty of the attendance on your Royal person of the faithful friends of your early youth, and not only to surround the Throne with creatures of their own, but to intrude on your Ma jesty's domestic retirement, as political spies on your ac tions. In this fearful crisis, we look up to your Majesty with the most unbounded confidence, assured that the firmness, wisdom, and courage hitherto displayed by your Majesty in the exercise of your high functions, will not fail us in this oar hour of need, when your faithful sub jects rally round the throne for aid and protection. LINES ON THE DEATH OF MOOIIE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Siß,—Your Journal of the 3d ult. gave circulation to a statement of claims to the " Lines on the Burial of Sir John Moore," put forward by the Editor of the Edin burgh Advertiser on behalf of a fellow-countryman. Your columns have since remained impartially open to the evidence on both sides of the question, as well as to the speculations :of some foreign claimants, who were, however, easily confounded. I can, therefore, have no hesitation in calling your attention to the Edinburgh Advertiser of the 7th inst., in which the Editor acknow ledges, not only that the claims he lately advocated were altogether spurious, but also that the proofs with which he has now been furnished, establish, beyond all pre sent doubt and future question, the Rev. Charles Wolfe as the author of that imperishable production of genius. Were anything more required to satisfy the public mind on this subject, it may be found annexed to the Editor's. remarks, in a letter from the Rev. W. Muir, Assistant Minister of Temple, giving an account of the unhappy pretender's own confession, in presence of Mr. Muir himself and another witness. In closing this question, which has terminated in a manner so gratifying to every admirer of Mr. Wolfe, as well as to every lover of truth, I think it due to the public, as well as to Mr. Muir, to bear testimony that the conduct of this gentle man throughout the discussion has been perfectly in accordance with what I was led to expect ;rom the high character of the body of which he is a member. His correspondence, which is in my hands, fully proves that he took up the cause of this unhappy man, from a belief of its justice ; supported it with candour, and not more of prepossession than naturally attaches itself to first convictions ; and when he at length discovered the error into which he had been betrayed, embraced the truth with a zeal which has been the principal means of bringing the affair to such an early and satisfactory con clusion. Truth fears not discussion, and the friends of Mr. Wolfe need not regret, for hlt sake, that his cause has been once more tried, and, as on this occasion, in the captals of the three kingdoms, as well as on the Conti nent : but having answered all corners, they have reason to expect that all further strife is at an end, and that the poet, like his hero, shall now at length and for ever be left alone in his glory 1 I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, JOSEPH MARSHALL. , Portsmouth, May 13, 1841. Victory, MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN. —A desperate assault was committed within this week at Ep som. A constable of the V division has been so maltreated by a most respectable tradesman's son, and a number of other persons, that his life is despaired of. An examinati on took place on Thursday before Baron de Teissier and Mr. Goss, Magistrates for the county of Surrey. The Magistrates pro.. ceeded with the further examination of George Gardom, up holsterer, High-street, Epsom ; George Edes, tile -maker ; James Philips and John Ratcliffe, recruits in the 89th Foot, anti Charles Filicher labourer. The prisoner Edes being charged with assaulting and wounding Joseph Russell, police constable 269 V, Phipps and Ratcliffe with attempting to res cue a prisoner from the said Joseph Russell ; Gardom with assaulting and resisting the police in the execution of their duty, and Pincher with being drunk and assaulting the police. The prisoners Gardom and Edes nad been bailed, themselves in 1001. and two sureties for each in 50/. ; they surren dered. The complained having been sworn, detailed the par ticulars of the outrage, which was of a very savage character. After some further evidence, Baron Teissier said, in the uncer tain state this constable is now in, I cannot send you for trial, but must remaud you until something decisive has taken place. You, Gardom and Edes, will not bsagain admitted to bail, but be committed with the rest at once to Kingston Gaol, there to await your re-examination After the prisoners wera removed, the father of Gardom offered bail to the extent of many thousands for security for his son's appearance. He was dread fully affected. He said the prisoner was his only son, and his being sent to prison would break both his own and his mother's heart. The Bench lamented they could not alter their decision. The country around this neighbourhood is look ing beautiful. A finer spring was never remembered. We hear from all parts of Devon that the crops promise to be abundant. —Plymouth lout nal. MANSION-HOUSE. John Macer, the master of a hatch-boat, called the " Saucy Jack," belonging to Gravesend, appeared before the Lord Mayor on Friday, the 7th inst., on a summons issued at the instance of Mr. Bacley, of Barking, the owner of a fishing smack called the " William and Sarah," for not having delivered two bushels of soles which were entrusted to him.by the master of the smack to carry to Billingsgate. A postponement of the case for a short time was in consequence of the absence of a witness. It appea re( 1 by the evidence of the master of the smack, that the d ?fl.ndant having been engaged to carry his cargo to Bi llingsgate, received, amongst other fish, seven teen bushel 3 of soles, of which he delievered only fifteen, and on bein g asked what had become of the other two bushels, rep lied that the master had sold them at Graves end to apc mon called Dutch Jack. The truth of this statement was denied by the master of the smack and one of the c re w, and Dutch Jack was sent for. Mr. Goldlta,m, the Clerk of Billingsgate-market, at the second heal* g of the case before Alderman Pixie, stated that the pra ?lice of breaking bulk in the quantities of fish intended. for the London market—a practice which was illegal ar 11 punishable by severe penalties—on account of the preji ad ice it did to the London dealers and consumers, had been c arried on to a great extent in the vicinity of Gravesend,. insomuch as that cod-fish, wheirat the price of 10s. each in ;the metropol;s, were to be had at Gravesend for five shill;n gs each. The case before the Alderman was one of tha t description, and in most instances the fish were not o ely stolen by the hatch-boat men, but were sold, as a mar:fitter of course, to the serious injury of the honest de, tle r. John Fie 'Terdt, who stated that he was a Dutchman, and an ex .temive dealer in fish at Gravesend, appeared to be exti .emely indignant at the cognomen of " Dutch Jack," st ated that he went on board boats containing fish, but 'lle denied that any of the soles alluded to had been bought by him. He admitted that he had looked at the soles in the William and Mary. Mr. Gc. - Idham said that De Wet-At was in the habit of employi y ; men to be on the look-out, in order to break bulk in fishing-boats, although he knew perfectly well that it i s against the law to buy any fish out of a vessel before it reached Billingsgate. De M'erdt said that if the sanction of the owner were given„ tulk might be broken. He got his livelihood in as honest a way as any man. Th e defendant declared that he never counted the fish, and t. .a,t he delivered at Billingsgate all he received. The' complainant stated and proved that the fish hail been regularly counted, and that the deficiency was to the ex. - tc.nt described. Alder man PIRIE said he was of opinion that the case ought tc , be sent for decision to the Cent& Criminal Court ; but after consulting Mr. Hobler, stated that perhaps, under the existing circumstances, the exposure of the system, and the assurance that in every . future de tected case prosecution at the Central Criminal Court should ,follow, would be sufficient. He accordingly ad monished the defendant very seriously, and told him that he was for that time at liberty. The inquiry was conducted by Mr. Griffin, of Ilford, on the part of the Barking. Fishing Association,who stated that th ere were upwards of 150 fishing vessels belonging to that pl ace, the owners of which had reason to believe not on: ly that great quantities of fish were taken from theirh atch-boats on their way from Gravesend to Billings gate, 1 that many of the masters and crews of the smacl iu had been in the habit of secretly semng the fish that gen) intended for the London market, to persons at Gray ?send, to the injury of the owners and in direct violat ion of the provisions of the several acts of Parlia ment for the regelation of the fishery ; and that the owner 13 had determined, if possible, to put a stop to the practice, and for that purpose had not only prohibited their i t •asters and crews from selling any of their fish at Grave 3, end, but had warned the buyers that if they were, found d ealing with any of the masters and crews so pro hibited, they would render themselves liable to be pro secuted as receivers of stolen goods.. The Marine Society, whose duty it is to see that the provisio as of the Acts of Parliament for the supply of the Lcs idon market with fish are duly enforced, have, m t the instance of the Barking Association. dismiss tea their late inspector at Gravesend, and appointed a new ; and they hop that this measure, with ths assistai ice of so experienced and able an officer as Mr. Goldha m, - will have the effect of completely checking the evil.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS PAT . . CHRONICLE.—The debate is again adjourned; and we venture to say that the Tories are by no means so eager for their majority as they were when the speech of Dr. Lushing ton, and the proceedings of the Anti-Slavery Committee, led them to believe that their hypocrisy would be succesful. The Ministers who should dream of taking office on the back of * majority in favour of monopoly, would, in the present temper of the nation, prove themselves fit for a lunatic asylum. The budget has gone to the hearts of the people. They are ready to prove that the Ministry who have to rely on them, may command their fervent support in return. The people feel that they aro fighting their own battle—that to desert the Ali nisters at this crisis would be treason to themselvee. We know not, of course, what decision Ministers may come to with regard to the part they ought to take at this time. feelings of the Tories leave no doubt as to what they thi nk Ministers ought to do. The Tory barristers and other re tainers of the Opposition exclaim, " Surely Ministers will re sign." The resignation would delight them. They dread nothing so much as a dissolution, with the odium of cor n , timber, and sugar monopolies to be encountered. The est ab hoste doceri. TIMES.—In one point of view the sugar duties debate is little calculated to raise the character of the British House of Commons. It is true, indeed, that few persons of any educa tion would form their estimate of the mental qualifications of that assembly from the sayings or doings of still orators as Messrs. Hawes and Hume. But %hen a person so greatly lauded as Mr. Macaulay has been a follower in their train, it may be become a question whether even the general standing of the body of which these three gentlemen, thus united in one. argument, and that a grossly illogical and fallacious one, form a part, is not seriously lowered by their joint absurdities. We speak strongly, because we have been deeply im pressed with the foolishness and criminality of these proceedings. A sort of key-note having been struck, a crowd of partisans, both in and out of Par liament, have joined in a general chorus in support of the monstrous and silly proposition that " two blacks make one white." To come to particulars. The Whig Administra tion, professing to be in all its main features identical with the Cabinet of 1833, which• framed and passed the Negro Emancipation Bill, now coolly comes forward with a scheme of finance, the purport and inevitable result of which must be to undo all that was thereby done; efid to render the 20,000,000/. of compensation-money given to the West Indian planters a dead loss to the county ! It follows naturally,that every honest and sincere opponent of slavery at once arrays himself against this proposition, although the group of close-fisted Quakers and noisy Whigs who form the majority in the so-called Anti-Slavery Society proved yesterday how factious has been their agitation on the question, and how completely and how readily the professed object of their union is sacrificed whenever a party purpose is to be served. This gross abandonment of principle, however, on the on of the small fry of the Society tends only to show forth in more advantageous contrast the conduct of the two !Were of the genuine Anti. Slavery party. Two firmer Whige than ,Sir S. Lushington and Sir T. Powell Buxton are no where to be found ; but their whole lives have been devoted to the cause of negro emancipation, and they cannot bring them selves to abandon, in a moment, all the labours of the past thirty years, and to aid in re-establishing the very evil which was, as far as possible, abolished in 1833. Their whole in fluence, therefore, is thrown into the adverse scale, and or* of the ablest and most respectable Whigs in the HoUSe of Com mons has the credit of being denominated by the Downing street Journals, the maker of " very Silly speech !" MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—Money is very scarce on the Stock Ex change, and much wanted, the rates given for short periods being fully 6 per cent. Consols for the Account are quoted a shade lower than yesterday, but business is limited ; th e clog -- ing price was 891 to which was the only quotation through out the day. "In the House" to-day the business has been chiefly confined to the settlement of accounts in foreign secu rities. As some of the unitiated may, perhaps, throw a glance over this department of our columns, it is right to explain to them that the City folk., besides the Salons of Guildhall, have " a House" cf their own as well as the great dons in the West. When we speak of the latter it is usually distinguished here by the proper appellation of " P ar li amen t,' or " the House of C ommons ," for " the House," par excel lence, in the phraseology of Threadneedle -street, always means the Stock Exchange. Well, "in the House" to-day, the mem bers have been busy settling their accounts, and we suspect that some of them must have been rather sore at the low figure of Svanish Actives, which still hang fire, notwi'listanding the Regency of Espartero, but they will, no doubt, move up a peg when people have time to think more about it, and know which of the rival companies now performing every evening in. St. Stephen's chapel are to have the handling of the loave. and fishes. Speculation must be at a stand still until that affair is finally settled. TIMES.—The business of the day in the Consol Market was of an unimportant character, and the fluctuations in price a mere shade above yesterday. Money was, however, in gene ral request both here arid in the Foreign Stock Market, and 6 per cent. was paid for short periods on the deposit of Go. vernment Securities but it did not fu r th er aeect t h e va l ue o f Exchequer Bills, which were finally quoted, as yesterday, 3s. tops. premium. `The'inquiry for money to assist the settlement of the half monthly account in the foreign securities would not have been much felt, the account itself being of limited character, had it not been for the gradual absorption of capital within the last few days in the English market, which, producing, .as it has done, a comparative scarcity and a corresponding advance in value, makes the fact more evident than when an easy state of: things prevails. As in the Share Market yesterday, the moon-. venience, if any, was soon surmounted, but it tended to dew press pricers. The supply of bills on Hamburgh having rather exceeded the demand, a consequent improvement took place in the rate of exchange on that place. Amsterdam was also rather bet ter, though in a more trifling degree. Paris may bo considered the same as last post. At a meeting of the Joint-stock Banks, the country private bankers, and the representatives of the Scotch Banks, held a few days ago, it was resolved that the meeting would co operate in resisting every attempt to interfere with a system of issues and circulation which they considered conducive te. the public interest in their respective localities, and to the prosperity of the various banking establishments throughout the United empire. SUN.—There was a pressing demand for money in som e quarters to-day, chiefly on the Stock Exchange, and per haps this was rather enhanced by a vague rumour of the embarrassment of a monied house, which we could trace to no authentic source. The Funds notwithstanding supported their value. For immediate transfer Consol9 realized 891 to 89k, and for the Account 89+, alternately buyers and sellers. Exchequer Bills were still at a low premium, viz., ss. to 3s. ; and East India Bonds were at 2s. discount to ls. premium. Bank Stock was at 168 to 167 ; and India Stock receded to 25.01, but closed at 25q. The New Three-and-a-Half r ea li se d 894 to 89k, and the Three per Cents. 84 to 881. The attention of the jobbers in foreign securities was chiefly occupied to-day in the adjustment of the half monthly account. As much as 8 per cent. was paid on the security of foreign bonds for temporary accommodation. The fluctuation in Spanish Stock since the account began, has been_ from 23+ to 24t- ; in Portuguese from 341 t0 . 33+; in k Mexican from 30+ to 28i ; and in Dutch Two-and -la.. Half per Cents. from 52+ to 521. To-day the Actirra Spanish Bonds 'Were marked 241 +, and the Deferrial 114. Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at 34, and the Three per Cents. at 20+ to being an improvement for each. Mexican Stock was at 281 to if ; Bel e ritui Bonds were dull at Hof Danish at 77-i- to ; and Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. at 521 to In the Share Market, also, this was settling day, and it is probable that the jobbers for a decline had the best of it, though Great Western Shares, having improved, may be said to • have bept better than the others. They were quoted at 28 to 29, the Ncw at 14 to 131, and the New South Western Tenths at a premium. Brighton were at a decline of 4 to 3+, Midland Counties 12, North Midland 24i, South-Eastern 35, and Birmingham and/ Gloucester 30+ discount. Colonial Bank Shares realise tf 10 to 11, London and Westminster 213-, and Nationaleaf Ireland 17 premium. Union of London were at par. The Foreign Exchanges this afternoon were much tho same. The rate on the principal continental cities for paper at 90 days was most currently this :—Parie 2Gf. 60c. to Gsc., Amsterdam 12 3 to -A-, Antwerp 12 3 to 34, Hamburgh 13 9i to 10, Frankfurt 149 a to and Trieste 10. Petitions for a repeal of the Corn-laws have Lave been prepared in Bristol and the surrounding vil - - des, and have been very numerously signed. In Bris more than 1,000 signatures were obtained._Bredford Observer. Madame Elizabeth Filipowicz, wife of a Polish bjm.oreutfei dfrnttyg.lidl.lel3,4:: refugee, and a distinguished violinist, died on the 4th inst., at her residence, No. 27, Great Clarendon-street, Somers-town, after a long illness of two years and ono month, which was caused by an apoplectic attack and the accumulation of blood on the brain, accom panied by palsy. Madame Filipowicz was a pupil of the celebrated violinist Spohr, whose delightful melody she was so well able to understand.
