Ships can be built at less than one half the expense abroad, and sailed at two-thirds less expense on account of the difference in the prices of wages and provisions. And in Sir R. Peel's speech, although there appears an increase of tonnage every year in our shipping, all ships new built are entered on Lloyd's books; while ships lost or broken up remain two or three .years on the list after they are totally gone. The increase of tonnage also the last three years is merely adventitious, on account of the enormous quan tity of timber imported for the railways. This year will prove a lamentable and sad, deficiency in the imports of timber from the Baltic and-America, viz. Qt,ebcc, &c. The evil of merchants in England having .hares in foreign shipping is increasing to an alarming extant. The writer of this himself is now in treaty end ar ranging for share 3 in three Russian ships and one Prussian, to import his own gools in, as the freight leaves a good profit.—l am, Sir, your's, &c.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS • FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF rESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—UnIess monopoly gives way to free trade, it is plain, from a consideration of the state of the Foreign Ex changes, that the Bank of England cannot regain the large .amount of gold required to place her In a position of stability. According to the evidence of Mr. Horsley Palmer, the Bank was in a sound position in October, 1833, and in April, 1838. At the first of these dat es th e liabiities were 32,900,0001., and the bullion 10,900,0001. At the last-mentioned date the quarterly average on the 3d of April gives 30,249.0001. of lia bilities, and 10,126,0001. of bullion. On the quarter ending the 27th of April last, the liabilities were 23,t412,000/., and the bullion 4,538,0001. Admission, la. Catalogue, 6d. JAMES FAHEY, Hon. Secretary.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec thn.s, which for some unaccountable reason have 'been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the of dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advOrtisement.

RAILWAY TRAFFIC.--The total receipts from the several railroads in England and Scotland (29 in number) for the last week—that is to say, up to the date to which the returns are calculated, were 71,6321. ; of this there were 13,7451. for merchandise, and 57,887/. for passengers, parcels, carriages, horses, afidinails. The greatest receipts appear to have been taken by the following railways :—London and Bir mingham, 16,526/. ; Great Western, 8,165/. ; Grand Junction, 8,693/. ; Liverpool and Manchester, 4.5511. • Manchester and Leeds, 3,09' ) /, ; North Midland, 3 , 5 69/. ; and the London and South Western, 5,500/. EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.—On Tuesday last a medical gentleman of -Abingdon. while visiting one of his pa tients, whose residence is close to the line of the Great Western Railway, at Steventon, left his horse and phaeton in the care of a man, who took off the curb to give the horse some hay; shortly afterwards the horse took fright at something, and darted off with impetuous fury, and being obstructed by one of the railroad side gates, between five and six feet in height, leaped at and cleared it cleverly, dragging at its heels the phaeton, the fore wheels of which cleared the gate, but the hind 'wheels coming in violent collision with the top rail, ar rested its progress. The horse was thrown down, and the con cussion thus caused fortunately enabled some persons who witnessed the occurrence to seize him, and thereby prevent se rious consequences, as one of the trains was at the moment about to start, from the station. The horse received little or no injury ; and, strange to say, the vehicle none.— Oxf or d Journal, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The proceedings in the House of Com mons last night were of the greatest importance. About the time when the more important business usually commences, Sir Robert Peel rose; and thus addressed the House :—" I rise to give notice that I shall on Thursday next move a resolution to the following effect :---That her Majesty's Ministers do not vufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons to enable them to carry through that House measures which they (km of essential importance to the public welfare, and that their continuance in office under such circumstances is at va rions with the spirit of the Constitution." And why do they not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons? What has happened iu the interval between the opening of the session and the 24th of May ? Lord John Russell gave notice, on the night of the budget, that he in tended to attack the Corn-law. On the same night the sugar and timber monopolies were denounced. The corn, the sugar, and the timber monopolists constitute a majority in the present House of Commons, and their confidence was lost the mordent that their interests were threatened. Ministers lost the confi dence of the House of Commons, because they proved them selves deserving of the confidence of the people. In the ho nest and conscientious discharge of their duty to their Royal Mistress and to her subjects, they felt that the time was come when to keep terms any longer with mu nop ily would be attended with the most ruinous eoneequences to the country ; and, aware of the pre ponderance of the monopolists in the House of Commons, they yet did not hesitate to propose measures which they knew must deprive them of their confidence. They said to them selves, We owe it to the Queen, not of the monopolists merely, but of the whole people of these kingdoms, to propose such measures as we conceive necessary for the general welfare, and as these measures will be opposed by a majority in the House of Commons, to afford the people an opportunity of returning to a future House of Commons representatives disposed to support us in our well-meant endeavours. From the moment that Lord John Russell proposed to invade the corn monopoly, -every Man of the least political discernment knew that old party connec tions were dissolved—that the representatives of agricultural constituencies would instantly desert Ministers. The proceed ings which have since taken place in the House must have been anticipated by Ministers as they were anticipated by all others. They are all so many steps towards what from the first was in evitable, namely, a dissolution. The notice given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Wednesday last, that on next Monday (yesterday) he should move, in a Committee of the House, the renewal of the sugar duties ; and the brief answer of Lord John Russell to the question of Lord Dar lington, that on the 4th of June he should proceed with his motion on the Corn-laws, annihilated the hope with which some of the monopolists had flattered -themselves that Minis ters would be silly enough to betray the cause of the people, and resign into their hands the Government, without allowing the people an opportunity to fight their own battles. What took place on Wednesday night was a sufficient announcement of the dissolution, and as such the monopolists understood it. But we confess, though we wished, we hardly dared to hope, that Sir Robert Peel would, by such a resolution as that of which he gave notice last night, afford Ministe r s any opportunity wich could be avoided of advocating the cause of truth and justice, and denouncing the iniquitous preten sions of the monopolists. The Right Honourable Baronet is himself too much impressed with the rottenness of that cause, of which the defence has been imposed on him by the evil ge nius that has doomed him to abandon every opinion he ever professed, to have voluntarily given notice of such a resolution. He must have been impelled by the Buckinghams, the Knatch bulls, and other zealots of his party, to afford an oectsion that might have been withheld, to Ministers and the supporters of the good cause in the House of Commons, for exhibiting to the country, in all their hideousness, the parties who are leagued together to trample on the rights of the people, and to sacrifice their best interests to a blind selfishness. We thank Sir Robert Peel for the favour which, however reluctantly, he has confer red on the people. The vote on Thursday will be of no value whatever as a mere trial of party strength, for the strength of Ministers is not in the House of Commons, but in the nation ; but the debate will be of infinite value as a means of enabling the people to know their friends from their enemies, and to appreciate the character and views of the men who are seeking to possess themselves of power, in order to promote their own class interests at the expense of. the welfare of the country. We therefore trust that all Members who wish to stand well with the people will avail themselves of the occasion which Sir Robert Peel has afforded them, and show by their pre sence and their vote, that in the approaching crisis they are entitled to the confidence of their countrymen. The people will carefully watch the proceedings to which Sir Robert's mo tion will give rise. ADVERTISER.—WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN MINIS TERS.—SO, Sir Robert Peel has signified that it is the pleasure of his party to move a vote of want of confidence in the Mi nistry on Thursday. If he succeed, which is by no means certain, what then ? He will but pronounce more clearly and decisively what was very well known, but not said, before, that the House of Commons, being for the most part composed of class interests, is a very unfit body to determine upon the me rits of a Ministry whose measures are designed for national, and not for class objects. He will but hasten the appeal to the arbiter of the respective claims of parties—the people. But for the disadvantage of not having the Corn-laws well and tho roughly discussed before a dissolution, and thus having too the whole case opened, the motion of Sir Robert Peel would be to us, and, we believe to the party generally, a welcome, nay, a highly acceptable proceeding. For what does it do ? It puts the Whigs, indeed, upon their trial, but do the Tories escape? And how will the two parties stand in the compari son ? Let the ten years of the Whig reign be put in parallel with the ten yesrs last preceding of the Tory reign. Compare the periol of 1820 to le3o with the period of 1830 to 1e,41 the former period one of excellent counsel and urgency and support on the part of the Whigs to good measures, though introduced by Tories ; the latter period one of dogged resist ance, on the part of the Tories, to good measures, because be neficial to the people, or, worse, because introduced by the Whigs. We do trust that the Liberals will not be sparing— that they will at once and boldly carry the war into the enemy's territory ; and fearlessly demand of the country its judgment, Peel or Russell, Tory or Whig—restriction and monopoly, or free trade and the fair interests of all. Taking this view, we are not sure that even it may not be fit to glance somewhat distinctly at the Corn-laws; for as the Tories regard the pro posed measure as one calculated to detach some of the sup porters of the Whigs, they are not likely to leave it out of their budget of charges against the Government. Our party must take care not to suffer Sir Robert Peel to play the same trick upon them, which he did on the closing night of the , sugar duties debate. It was then his forte to plead his right to a patient hearing on account of having been so markedly chal lenged by the opposite side. Accordingly, when the Liberals seemed inclined to point by a cheer some of his most glaring plausibilities. he stopped and looked a look of surprise, as if a compact had been broken ; while all the time his own party cheered most voci'erously every one of his noodleisms, with ad- ditional courage and force too, because their antagonists were ,ilent. We watched with some interest, not altogether of a pleasant kind, the success of this tactic, to which we believe ' Sir Robert Peel owed much of his temporary triumph, for if the irony whish must have been provoked, had found its i vent in cheers, it would have staggered the sophist, and most probably defeated his attempt. The peculiarity was more marked, as the Tory party by no means treated Lord Palmerston, who followed, with the same forbearance. Now, this practical lesson should not be lost on the Liberals during the coming discussions. Let it be plainly shown that the measures of the Government, with all their short-comings at times, have always tended to improve the condition of the people, to extend their liberties, civil and religious ; and that if they have sometimes given occasion for censure, it has been partly owing to the strength and invete racy of the Tories, and to their own weakness, compared with that of the advocates of monopoly and class-interests, who have since the Reform Act exerted themselves perseveringly in the pursuit of the same objects, which they so scandalously ac complished, at the nation's expense, by the instrumentality of the boroughmongering Parliaments. It is true they have sometimes held a wolfish tone of regard for the people, but only for the purpose of covering their had designs. POST.—Our anticipations of yesterday morning were con firmed at the commencement of public business in the House of Commons in the evening. As soon as notices of motions were called on, Sir Robert Peel rose, and amid the breathless atten tion of a very crowded House, gave notice that on Thursday next he would move a resolution of the House, " That her Ma jesty's Ministers do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons to enable them to carry through the House measures which they deem of essential importance to the public welfare, and that their continuance in office under such circumstances is at variance with the spirit of the Con stitution." This notice of motion was received with tre mendous cheering by the Opposition side of the House, which continued far some time. The Right Honourable Baronet has evidently given great satisfaction to his party by this constitutional, bold, and explicit course, and we feel perfectly confident that it will give equal satisfaction to the country at large. Intelligent men of all ranks and conditions will not fail to contrast this honest and manly decision of con duct with the sneaking ambiguity of Ministerial meanness, which knew not how either to proceed with courage or to re tire with dignity. It may be asked, " What but this were the Conservatives to do ?" they might have done, as their oppo. nents probably would have done under similar circumstances— they might have interfered to prevent the Government ob taining the ordinary sugar duties. Her Majesty's Ministers attempted a course of policy at variance with that of the ordinary sugar duties, and were beaten by the Oppo'i tion in the House of Commons. Instead or resigning, they then propose the very duties which they had tried ' on the policy to alter, and failed in altering. Had the opposition been a ""factious opposition," it migh t h a v e said that the Govern n. e of which it had disputed. But so far from d o i ng this, Sir Ito. Bert t Feel hs' h no m E xc hequer for going into Co mmittee to agree to a resolution continuing the oeiiov undid motion f i d duties rdinary sugar duties , and took the opport un ity to state that he would not embar ra s s the Government either by opposing the duties, or mo v i ng thg they n right s to avail the itself on of the Cha nce ll or o f t h e more limitedperiod should be taken for than usual. The Government has Pot hoer' met by any tortu ous or vexatious proceeding, silnh as would have been adopted had Whig ex ample been followed ; 14; it has been met, as we said it would be, by warily, vigo rous , stra i g h t , forward, and constitutiona l opposition, But the resolution of which Sir Robert Peel has is as • given notice ev4tiougfin it 4 bold. It is admiral worded. What can Ministerialists say against it ? Surely i 1 i s nndeniable that the measures which Ministers have lately propose tothe House of Commons are deemed by them of essential importat.4.2 tea the public welfare. This proposition we do not th n iiikanyamount of tr , y can deny ; and it i s equally beyod controversy that Ministers do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House to enable them to carry these measure!, HERALD.—The sword is drawn for the cause of Conser vative principles ! The scabbard was throw t , ; bvSir Robert Peel, a t an early hour last evenings incapacity with this merge r sable denunciaticu of Whig and presumptio • 1-41 move a resolution " Upon Thursday next g • on to the follow ing effect That it is the opinion this Howe that her does not sufficiently p s Majesty's Government es; the eanfi s donee of the House ofCommons toenable of essential benefit to the • sures which they deem puolie welfare, and that their enntimiance in office under such circumstances is at variance with the- the Constitution. " Thus, then, it appears that the rneasl P:a P . of filAtire and o f i m b ec i l i ty, on the part of Lord Melbourne tiovernment, is fqll. E ven moderation and forbearance of the nine, rous, the best organised, the most triumphant s s (im positions, which have acted in the ; of any among the F •. the la t House of Commons clArtltg s century —an oppo sition flushed with repeated e eterms, find which, with a noble disinterestedness, and the most honourable considera tion for the publie. w el f are , has repeatedly replaced in their:pp which it had dislodged f ro m them sitions the antagonists ; anct supported, in all measures which had an undisputed connection with the essential interests and service of the public, their, more crafty and less scrupulous competitors for power, and for the confidence of that public ;—even this forbearance and modera tion are at last worn out.. The pertinacious determination of the present Government to carry through its unintentionally suicidal measures, designed as they were to bear with overwhelming pressure on the present energies of the colonial, the shipping, and the linded interests, has accele rated that downfall which the daily-increasing power and popularity of the opposition was securing by every constitutional andlegitimate means which the moral and intellectual inferiority of Government, as a bode, had already rendered inevitable. On every side thick swarming tidings come in of defeat in one quarter, defection in another, defiance in a third, ill-dissembled disgust in a fourth, decaying influence and extinguished favour in all. The intelligence of yesterday compressed into 24 hours a fearful aggregate of discomfiture and disgrace sufficient—(will our readers excuse the apparent exaggeration of the figure ?) —to disturb even Lord Melbourne's equanimity ; to ruffle the marble surface, as polished as impracticable, even of the Pre mier's indifference. In Birmingham, as we understand, their party, their resolutions, their promises, have been (at a large meeting) treated with so much rudeness and impertinence that we should not wonder if Mr. Fox Maule and Mr. Edward Stan ley were to induce the Alarquis of Normanby to forward, by the railroad, a detachment of ," rural police" to repress for the future any exhibitions of public feeling so distasteful to noble diners out;—so difficult for that class, notwithstanding all their transcendent powers of pleasing and conversation, to give any handsome account of to their intelligent entertainers. TlMES.—Nothing can exceed the desperation to which the Whigs are reduced, for the one sole purpose of retaining their offices till the latest possible moment. Having been defeated upn r their atrocious pro-slavery proposal by such an over whelming majority as ought instantly to have produced their resignation, they have, ever since, by giving notices of motions, and by otherwise indicating an intention to proceed with pub lic business, endeavoured to keep up a dogged air of noncha lance, as if their expulsion from power were still as distant as ever. Not a week has elapsed since these degraded Ministers were signally disgraced in their own Parliament under circum stances which, if not exactly tantamount to a stoppage of the supplies, afforded conclusive proof that they are viewed by the Legislature as a set of reckless financial empirics—set, at this moment, were it not for their ascertained impo tence and confusion, one might almost imagine, from their manifest anxiety to resume the routine of treasury leadership, that not a single defeat had been sustained. In spite, however, of all their mean manoeuvres, their weakness and trepidation are rendered every now and then quite as conspicuous as their impudence and obstinacy. Our readers will bear in mind the strong asseverations of Lord J. Russell as to the absolute ne cessity of prosecuting the Poor-law Continuance Bill without the delay of another Session. When the Ministry, previous to the Nottingham election, believed that they could tyrannize over the poor with impunity, no consideration of reason, jus tice, or humanity, could induce theist to pause in their per secuting career. The studied and refined cruelties of their workhouse unionism, being elaborated to the last finish of cold-blooded Whiggery, were to be forced down the throat of Parliament with the most arbitrary and indecent impatience. But happily the Whigs hare at length been taught to know that this infamous style of legisla tion cannot be safely proceeded with. A salutary check has been put upon their headlong inhumanity. The ordeal of the hustings is now threatening them ; and consequently, as another evidence of their vile want of principle, their Poor-law Continuance Bill, about the importance of which they have ex'iatiated so much for months past, is, for the present, thrown overboard, for the sake, if possible, of saving the sinking ship. Last night Lord John Russell announced that that damning item of Whig unpopularity is postponed till next Session. But the country will be glad to see that the contemplated escape of the Whigs, even from their immediate fate, is likely to be no less difficult than dishonourable. From this day their tenure of office is hardly worth a week's purchase. GLOBE.—If the present Government possess the confidence of the Sovereign, which we assume they do, there is no violation of the spirit of the Constitution, our opponents themselves being judges, in their refusing to retire even upon a vote of want of confidence ; nor in the Sovereign's requiring a distinct, specific - ground of a " want of confidence' motion being passed by the Commons, as a - reason for calling upon the Crown to exercise its prerogative in dismissing them from her Councils. George the Third, " the best of Kings" in Tory estimation, protected the Government in which he re posed confidence against a powerful coalition which sought to destroy it. The present Ministry is opposed by a coalition of monopolies, which strengthen the Op position in their designs upon the Government. Why may not Queen Victoria adopt a similar course to that which George the Third pursued under similar circum stances, and refuse to dismiss her Ministers even upon an Address from the Commons for their dismissal ? And why may not the present Ministers be allowed— without having it charged upon them that they " act in variance to the spirit of the Constitution"—to bring for ward their whole plan of national finance before Parlia ment and the country, era they appeal to the country — just as Mr. Pitt brought forward his " India Bill" before Parliament, that the country might judge between him and his opponents, before he appealed to the country by a dissolution of Parliament ? Thus, even if Sir R. Peel's motion be carried by the aid of the members who deserted Ministers . on the sugar duties, and will vote against them on the Corn-law question, the Right Hon. Baronet and his impatient place-expectant adherents will gain nothing by the "bold and decisive step"which has filled his party with such delight. This step political resembles the step military, in which the soldiers " keep the step " without advancing a single inch. But if the " bold and decisive step " should fail—if, by a majority, however small, the House of Commons reject the motion into which Sir R. Peel has been coerced by his followers, the fitilure would inflict " a heavy blow," which would not fail, in the present posture of affairs, to have a stunning effect upon them. Of this we have considerable hopes. The general policy of the _Government has been emi nently approved. STANDARD.—The interests threatened by the Budget are too narrowly described by the Morning Chron icle—they are not merely the corn, the sugar, and the timber interests ; they are the whole agricultural interest, and all dependent upon it, including all professional men and all retail traders—the whole West Indian and East Indian interests—the whole colonial and shipping interests. These are the interests with which the Ministers thought it prudent to declare war, after having first, by their O'Connell connection, alienated all the moral and religious feeling of the nation, and, by their Poor-law, all the humbler classes. To all reflecting men it was plain that, having once committed themselves with the mill-owners, the Ministers must come to this state of nearly universal hostility with whatever is sound and respectable in the nation ; and it was the wisdom of Sir Robert Peel to curb the impatience of his indignant friends, until the open declaration of war against the country had put all who were threatened upon their guard—to wait until men should no longer be restrained from defending themselves and the nation by the delu sion of " old party connections." Again, had the blow been struck even but a day or two earlier, Ministers would have escaped much of the responsibility for that high crime against the Constitution which they have been committing, and in which it is now plain that they intended to persevere—the retention of the Government without the confidence of either House of Parliament. Had Sir Robert Peel given his notice immediately after Ministers were defeated by a ma jority of 36 this day week, it might be said "Minis ters intend to resign, and your notice is superfluous ;" or, "Ministers mean at once to appeal to the people by a dissolution, ar►d your notice becomes an impertinent and unconstitutional interference with the prerogative of the Crown." By abstaining for a week, however, Sir Robert Peel left the Whig-Radical party without these pretexts—left them, mark, after a defeat upon the budget by a majority of thirty-six, to give notice of their intention to continue conducting the Government through questions of such magnitude as the New Poor law Bill and the Corn-law resolutions. They cannot now back out of the acknowledgment of this criminal purpose.

On the 27th of April, 1841. £5,588,000 Had the Bank been in a sound position, at present the ratio of the gold to the circulation should have been the same as it was in April, 1838; but instead o: that the diminution of the bullion has been, in round numbers, 5,500,0001., while the de. crease of the paper currency has been only 2,400,000/., so that the Bank is unsound at present just for inasmuch as that difference of proportion, or 51i per cent. in the space of three years. This is the result of applying the rule of soundness la d down by the Directors themselves, and no one can find fault when they are tried by the test of their own doctrine. The Securities in April, 1838, were £22,838,000 At April 27, 1841 22,02,000 Making a difference of 756,000 Which does not affect the matter either way. But the facts thus deduced from contrasting the proportion of bullion in the Bank with the amount of her circulation as she stood at the last return, with the bullion and circulation when her position was declared to be sound and prosperous, must make the Proprietors of Bank Stock think seriously on the present state of our continental trade, and convince them that prompt and energetic measures must be adopted to give a healthy action to the foreign Exchanges, and to turn back the flux of gold to the bank coffers. The importance of such a measure is not confined to the class interests of Bank Stock Proprietors. The Bank of England, as manager of the na tional currency, is the mainspring of public credit, and if that be snapped the whole chain of commercial confidence must be broken, and a general convulsion and panic in the Money Market inevitably ensue. All men, therefore, have an inte rest in supporting confidence in the Bank of England, be cause all men would suffer if the Bank were obliged to suspend specie payments. It is with the view, therefore, of inducing the monopolists to pause and to reflect upon the feeble state of this mainstay of public credit that we have illustrated, by reference to the Bank returns, how far the position of the Establishment renders it prudent for them, with due regard to their moving principle of action, viz., their self-interest—to persist in a course of conduct opposed to the principles of free commercial intercourse with other nations—how far it is safe and prudent for them, under these circumstances, to resist the demands for cheap bread, and for a reduction in the price of other necessaries of life. It is no thing but public confidence that sustains the Bank at present. It is not her own strength, but the interest which all classes have in supporting public credit that maintains the value of the currency. Let the monopolist, therefore, beware of pressing too much upon the miseries of the people. Hunger is not to be appeased by parliamentary majorities ; and if the monopolists carry out their opposition to the measures of relief proposed for the country, the people have the remedy in their own hands. But the truths which we have here stated as regards the Bank of England are too palpable and unquestionable to admit of a continuance in the system of monopoly. The profits which particular classes have reaped and still enjoy, from the restrictive duties on trade, are no doubt great, and it is not to be expected that they will be abandoned without regret— without a struggle ; but when it is seen that the alternative is between concession on the one hand, and a general money panic on the other hand, and when these consequences are fairly weished, we are satisfied that the preponderance of pri vate interest will stand so much in favour of a liberal commercial policy, that monopoly must ultimately kick the beam, Sinc the spring of 1841 the exchanges have evinced something of a better appearance, but the change has not been pro duced by the legitimate operations of trade. The low state of the circulation, and the tightness of money, have been the chief agents in the work ; and, to some extent, the bills on the Con tinent have been drawn against shipments of silver. The best part of the season is over, and yet there is no life in our ex ports, and the home trade breathes nothing► but stagnaion. I he weather is no doubt favourable, which is a most fortunate occurrence, and with a good harvest the Bank may be able to rub on, but there is nothing in the future which presents a cheering aspect. There is no way by which fresh life avid vigour can be imparted to the wretched condition of the ma nufacturing interests except by revising the fiscal duties on im ports, and displacing protection by revenue as the rule of taxation. POST.—To-morrow being account-day in Consols, the de claration of options took place this afternoon, at a quarter to four o'clock, when an extraordinary scuffle was witnessed ; speculators for the rise or fall having to establish the point whether the quotation should be determined 90 (buyers), or 90 sellers. The "bull" party prevailed. Consols were kept up to 90 (buyers), at which price a great quantity of Stock was "put." The continuation from account to account was currently done at per cent., the rate given being, however, in some rare instances, as high as %. Money for short periods was commonly to be had, on the deposit of Stock, at 5 per cent. per annum. The closing quotations for the English market were pretty much the same as on Saturday. An attempt was again made to stimulate the prostrate Span ish and Portuguese markets. The intelligence of a further remittance having been made on account of the Portuguese half-dividend—and what a pretty ally Portugal must be to pay half-dividends to her generous English creditors and support ers, while her home creditors continue to be paid in full was the only pretext offered for renewed dealings, nor were they carried to an extent to produce an improvement in prices of more than per cent. _ The news received of a large steam-vessel, the same sup. posed to have been seen off the Cape de Verd Islands, having been discovered progressing on her voyage towards England, has greatly revived the hope that the latter may prove to be the President. The colour of the funnel, and some other parti culars given of the vessel alluded to, seem to present a dis crepancy which should furnish grounds for caution, but the whole statement is confused and imperfect, and the public will naturally catch at the main points as correct, and such as may justify the conclusion to which they are disposed to come on the subject. CHARTIST MEETING AT THE CROWN AND ANCHOR TAVERN, STRAND. On Monday a Tory-Chartist meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, ostensibly for the purpose, as declared in the notice convening the meeting, " to adopt resolutions, having for their object the release of all po litical offenders, and carrying , out the peoples' charter," but in reality to attempt, by a side wind, to depreciate the moa. sures brought forward by her Majesty's Government for pro curing for the working and poorer classes the necessaries of existence at a cheap and reasonable rate. An intelligent working man named NAGLE was called to the chair, on taking which he expressed a hope that the meeting would not experience an Irish rebellion in the course of their proceedings. Mr. ROSE proposed the first resolution, to the effect that it was the opinion of the meeting that no Government was de serving of the confidence of the people who had unconstitu tionally broken down the spirit of the law, by introducing an army of foreign spies and bludgeon -men ; who had deprived the poor of all protective aid; and, under the pretenoe of re lieving, incarcerated them in the accursed bastiles ; who had denied the workman the constitutional shield of the suffr age possessed by his ancestors ; and who, whilst contemplating other acts of aggression, treated the petitions of (be people with studied indifference and contempt. Mr. SMART (a provincial delegate) seconded the resolution, and, in doing so, said that he held T,;ryism in abhorrence, but he would vote for any Tory, may, for the very devil himself, with his seven hoofs, ten horns, saucer eyes, and long tail— ( Cheers and laughter )—before he would vote for a Whig:. The Chartists now made use of the Tories, in order tq out, politically, the throats of the Whigs, but when they had all that the-people required, then they would turn round and cut the throats of the Tories. He trusted that the conduct of the provincial Chartists would be followed by their metro politan brethren. The measure brought forward by the Go vernment was not meant for the benefit of the workie classes, it was intended to enrich the exporters—it 'PC . mere tub to the whale, a sprat to oatch a mackerel • was a and hisses.) --(Cheers Dr. M Douala., a member of the for. ..ner Chartist Conven tion, spoke to this resolution, and de. _died being actuated by any factious or party spirit.

As to the Corn-laws, although he was prepared to accept the repeal, yet it would not make a difference of a halfpenny in the quartern loaf. He questioned the wisdom of those men who could bring forward such a measure, or the yropriety . of their divertin g th e people fro m th e pursuit of their just rights by a bubble like this.--( Immense cheers.) After dwelling at considerable length on the principles of the Charter, and urging the necessity of their adoption, the sp eaker sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. S ANYEY next addressed the meeting, after which the Chairman put the resolution, which was carried unanimously. itMr. Rtni.zy proposed the next resolution, to the effect that , was the opinion of the meeti ng th at t h e exert i ons of Thomas Duncombe, Esq., and all other members who aided in procuring , the release of all political prisoners, deserved their best thanks now, and their cordial support at the next election. Mr. SEEFFINGTON, in seconding this resolution, stated that the petition bearing a million and a quarter of signa tures, praying for the release of all political offenders, would be presented to-morrow—(Hear)—evening, by Mr. Duncorabe. It was to be carried down to the House by a number of fustian jackets, accompanied by a procession, which would leave the Old Bailey at three o'clock. This speaker, in laying before the me e ti ng th e course to b e pursued by the Chartists at the next election, mentioned that the caged lion, Mr. Feargus O'Connor, was to be proposed, and carried ititA Parliament triumphantly, as the representative of Leices tor,—( Cheers. ) Mr. Marertsr (an Irish Chartist), who opposed Mr. O'Con nell at the meeting in Exeter-hall last week, next addressed the meeting, and was loudly cheered. Mr. WALL, who had created the disturbance a few hours previously at the meeting in the Old Bailey, proposed the next resolution, to the effect that it was the opinion of the meeting that the House of Commons, being altogether composed of the representatives of land and capital, totallyexcluded the labour ing population. The resolutions having been all carried unanimously, thanks were given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

How the Clergy of the Established Crarch would raise themselves in the estimation of the people under their charge were they to follow the example of their brethren in that county ! NORTH DERBYSHIRE MOVEMENT. The Ministerial propositions, and the union ofm mopolista, have thoroughly roused the dormant spirit of the handy-sons of the m iuntains. From val'ey to hill, and lrom hill to valley, the " fiery cross" has gone forth with a speed unexampled ; and every toss n, village, and hamlet of the Peck is petitioiiing to be relieved from the crying oppression or unjust taxat.on. At no former period, even duriug the tumultuous excitement of the Reform bill, have petitions ever been so numerously signed from this neighbourhood, the greatest number on record being about 2,500—0 n the resent ,occasion the signatures will exceed 4,000. In several villages the whole male adult population have signed; in ethers nearly the whole ; in this town abmft nine. tenths, no person under 21 years of age being allowed to sign. This iternonstratitm is the more striking as' this is an agricul tural district, where very few manufactures' a re established. The petitions a: . e signed by landlords, ,tenants, and small farmers, and by many persons who are notstriendly to the pre sent Ministry. The quostion here assumes a national, and not a party shape. It is only just to some of the clergy' to say, that although on principle they usually take no part in political questions, yet on this occasion many of them have signed the petitions, probably feeling that their lessons on temperance wilt have more effect if coffee, sugar, and even wholesome bread, were brought within tl:e reach of their p.n. parishioners. In no part of the kingdorn have we more zealous, charitable, or inadequately ``aid Ministers of the Gospel than some of the clergy of the Established Church here. It is among wealthy pluralists that the advocates for Corn-laws, and taxes whih oppress the poor, are to be fount._ • I need not say that the two Liberal Members for this divi sion were never so safely seated as at present. If the state of feeling here can be taken as any indication of the country generally, Ministers will do wisely to dissolve. Bakewell, May 24. ANTI-BREAD-TAX MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

The number of persons was estiniated at 7,500, and just as the proceedings commenced, a waggon fil!eci with the leading Chartists, Richards, Capper, lllart, Robinson, Revingion. and some straw • gers, was drawn in front of the hustings ; and although they addressed tor a long time the assembly, their amendments were lost, which they proposed in opposition to others submitted by R. E. Heatheote, J. A. Wyse, F. Wedgwood, J. Ridgway, C. J. Mason, Mr. Huxley, of Tunstall, and several others. At different periods there seemed great excitement; and Some mischievous individu .1 threw a stone at the Chartist speakers, from behind the other hustings, but he was instantly seized and conducted out of the crowd. Is the Chartist waggon were five workmen of one of the masters in the oiler waggons, to whom, however, in speaking, they paid a high compiment. After much clamour, seeing that the cause was lost, Richards, Capper, and many others privately withdrew trnm the ground, leaving those who pleased to remain and cavil at whtt was offered. About six o ' c l oc k th e meet i ng dispersed, without any of the ill consequences which some had ant:cipated. Stoke-upon-Trent, Monday, May 24, Is4l.

THE CROPS.--The orchards of this county, which a fortnight ago presented the most luxuriant pro inise,have suffered a blight, which it is feared will very considerably diminish the crop.

The long continued moisture has not been congenial to the heavy, wet soils, of alieh there is a large brealth in this county, c:msequently the plant is upon the ground ; nevertheless, a propitious season might produce a fine cast.
