NEW METROPOLITAN BOROUGH. Mr. MACGREGOR postponed the following motion, which stood on the paper for today, to Tuesday, the Bth of May:—That in consideration of the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, and Ham mersmith, containing a population of about 120,000 in habitants, residing on an area not exceeding 8,000 acres, and comprising also above 18,000 houses, •of the annual rental of 101. and upwards; and further, in consideration that there is no other district in Great Britain with so great a number of inhabitants and houses unrepresented directly in this House, it is expedient and just to incorporate, by an Act of Parlia ment, the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, and Hammersmith, into a Parliamentary borough, em powered to return two Members to this House, to fill up the vacancies caused by the disfranchisement of the late borough of Sudbury. PUNJAUB. Mr. GOULBURN, seeing the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets in his place, wished to know whether it was his intention to night to call the attention of the House to the state of affairs in the Punjaub. According to the notice that appeared on the paper to that effect, as he understood it, the Hon. Member had postponed his motion on a former day, on the ground that the papers on the subject were not before the House; those papers had not yet been laid upon the table, and he theretore trusted that the Hon. Member would not bring his mo tion on that evening. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE said that some of the papers had been laid on the table yesterday, and the re mainder would be forthcoming shortly. Mr. G. THOMPSON said that the Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite was in error as to the reasons that in duced him to postpone his motion to the present day; it was not in consequence of the papers on the subject not being before the liouse,but at the request of the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, in order that the progress of the Rate in Aid Bill might not be suspended. He felt bound to persevere in his motion to-night, believing that without the papers alluded to by the Right Hon. Gentle man he should make out such a case as would call upon the House to interfere.—(Hear.) Mr. GOULBURN regretted the course intended to be pursued by the Hon. Member, as several Members would not attend under the supposition that the motion would be postponed in consequence of the papers not being laid on the table of the House. LANDED PROPERTY (IRELAND). Mr. SADLEIR then rose, pursuant to notice, to ea the attention of the House to the legal circumstances which unduly impede the sale of landed property in Ireland (Hear, hear) and to those facilities which may be safely afforded for its free transfer. When he looked to the condition of Ireland—to the des titution and suffering of her people, and the patience with which they bore those sufferings—when be looked to the financial difficulties into which she had fallen, when he saw injuries perpetrated upon her under 'the name of charity, and a merciless poor-law— when he looked at the sessional policy of her Majesty's Ministers, and the spirit in which they had received every remonstrance from Ireland, he trusted that he might claim with confidence the generous indulgence of the House while he called its attention to the legal circum stances which unduly impeded the sale of landed property in Ireland, and those facilities which might be safely afforded for its free transfer. Owing to the want of proper facilities for the transfer of landed property in Ireland, the application of capital and agricultural science to the improvement of the land and development of its resources was greatly impeded. He would just call the attention of the House to one sin gle passage in the report of the Committee which sat in 1846, for the purpose of con sidering how far the burdens on land in this country could be diminished, with the view of counter acting the effects which the adoption of free trade must for a short period have upon the value of landed property. The Committee complained that the transfer of landed property in this country was subjected to expense by the law, which, in the opinion of the Committee, greatly diminished the marketable value of the land itself. Now, if such a difficulty were felt in this country how much more disastrous must it prove in Ireland, where land was so much en cumbered.—(Hear.) It night, however, be said that the value of land in this country bore a fair proportion to the value of land in other countries, therefore the depression of landed property in Ireland could not be traced to the operation of the law which related to its transfer. But the House must remember that Ireland was not assimilated to the law of England.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. P 3 mm, in his valuable work on the condition of the landed property in Ire land, attributed much of the prevailing distress to the cumbersome and expensive machinery which attended its transfer, while the absence of that principle, known in this country under the name of foreclosure," increased, to a tenfold extent, the expense of conveying land, and of course still aggravated the distress of the country. The most recent mortgagee was compelled, for his own safety and pro tection, to trace and enrol tie claim of the party who had the most remote and indefinite interest to the property, a system which was exceedingly costly, and subjected the transfer of the property to much legal chicanery, and served well to extend and keep up litigation, which could benefit no party but the law yers. Under the existing system every individual who had or had ever had a remote or indirect interest in the property, had to be brought before the Court of Chancery in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) The whole subject-matter with reference to the sale of an estate was referred to the Master's office, where it became the subject of unprincipled litigation, and thus an amount of expense fully equal to 30 per cent. upon the selling value was entailed upon the propt!etor. There were several instances of as many as 180 charges being preferred and filed in one suit, and each of those charges was analogous to a small bill in equity. How ever small the demand of a creditor might be, it was im possible for the Master to take legal cognizance of the debt, unless it was placed under his notice by way of a charge and discharge. In fact, the success of the apparitor depended upon the ingenuity and skill of his lawyer in taking advantage of every technical objection, with the view of postponing the day of the sale. Landed proprietors were in the habit of encouraging their legal advisersto their e r., t i o ro sot pw r o e nn s o e r ln t em to t every contrivance to post pone the day of p a y men t ; b u t they forgot that fi ce that interests. was A e tffect length,e effected a t f t a n r terrible Master's s s e t c e investigation into the title of the estate and into the con ditions and circumstances of the incumbrances prior to the creditor's demand, the suit begins to as assume the practical shape and form of a report. This became again the subject of much dispute and litigation in nine cases out of the ten, but ultimately the Chancellor was empowered to pro nounce his judgment with reference to the payment of the several demands affecting the estate. Again long and bitter contests took place upon what were called the e note " of the decree, and upon the language used by the Chancellor. The unfortunate estate was again turned into the Master's office, and that func tionary, who had previously filled the various offices of L h o i u rn d an accountant, of a npfroafoautnndnkl-ahwrnykeerr, stock-broker, experienced conveyancer, conveyancer, mr , l ) f a l t l a n vi d a s a u r c e t n o r n r e n e d r . cries of Hear, — to ( observations and rein. t l t . ract the attention and notice of the to compose the particurtewolifieshas‘le,e, the i t e o na tj u u l s a t ted varit)ue , to wintover, over, and to a . upon to constitute h lu e . era different to what w known as conditions of sale in , this ColllltrYl where P a „ ton or the entire of the pur capitalists. The conditions of sale in Ireland were very chase money was generally required to bo paid at a par ticular place on a particular day. The conditions to which he alluded practically meant that the purchaser must determine for himself whether he was going to purchase a law-suit or an estate with a good title. In nine cases out of ten they meant that the purchaser should not object to the title, in case there might be hereafter some different construction put upon what lawyers called an obscure will. (Hear.) Purchasers should not object because of procuring that testament, and he should be bound to accept the title although he or his descendants should be ousted from the possession by some flaw in that obscure will. The conditions of sale practically meant that a purchaser should not object if it might thereafter turn out that a particular man or a particular woman was not born in wedlock. In fact the whole character of those condi tions of sale peculiar to Ireland, and the natural conse quences of the condition of the law by which real pro perty was disposed di at present in Ireland, really were to involve every purchaser of land in Ireland in all the eources and seeds of litigation arising from the course of careless conveyancing which now existed, and which bad been now increasing for centuries in Ireland. The whole effect of that accumulation of small incumbrances, in consequence of the practice so general in Ireland of continuing those old incumbrances on record, of con tinually making them the subject of transfer, in conse quence of the imperfect registration system with reference to landed titles, and the absence of a registration system with reference to charges on land, together with the le gislation of that House with reference to judgment debts (.7 and 8 Vict., cap. 90). The natural consequence of that anomalous condition of the law must be to deterio rate the selling value of the landed property in Ireland. —(Hear.) He would venture to say there was no Member of the bar of either country who would not undertake to ride with confidence upon the construction, operation, and effect of the statute to which he had just referred. There was no prudent or rational man in Ireland who would not shrink from investing capital in the purchase of property in Ireland, so long as he was obliged to purchase on conditions which would expose him and his children to future children. The proceedings in the Master'S-offide to sell an estate must strike every rational man as the very opposite of that which every prudent auctioneer would recommend. After the conditions of sale had been settled the estates were put up for sale at a particular place and on a particular day. The sale must take place at that place and time, according to the rules of the Court of Chancery. Now he contended that the Master might be at liberty to sell the estate subsequently to that particular time it he had the opportunity, even thought it might be the result of private and prolonged treaty, so long as the parties interested in the pro perty were prepared to ratify the Master's proceeding, He warned the House of the danger of legislating with reference to questions purely Irish, but more especially those which had relation to the tenure of land, without a perfect knowledge of the nature and operation of the laws of property—he warned them not to do so without con sulting practical men, well versed in the laws with regard to property in Ireland. He gave credit to the Solicitor- General for the introduction of the Incumbered Estates Bill of last year. It had accomplished much good, and so long as it remained unrepealed per sons would be prevented from lending money upon pro perty already deeply, if not irretreivably, mortgaged. Nothing—not even the prophecies of the most sanguine Minister of the Crown—would induce many of the landed proprietors of Ireland to believe that their property really was their own ; indeed, the Emperor of China had as much right to the properties of many of the lauded propietors of Ireland as they themselves had. There were estates in Ireland with which he was well acquainted, which if sold at their highest value were wholly unequal to the payment of the principal and interest now charged upon them. The Bill, how ever, threw some impediments, such as compelling the mortgagor to search for judgments against him, in the way of the transfer of land which it would be well to remove. Now it was most desirable that the utmost facility should be given to the embarkation of capital in incumbered estates ; care :hould be taken to remove every obstacle, and to give the capitalist the utmost security in his investment. (Hear, hear.) He wished the House to bear in mind that there was no subject connected with Ireland that was more im portant than the state of agriculture ; as long as they shrunk from the consideration of the question, all their efforts by poor-rates or otherwise, would be of t e h d ro t u e gh de t a h l e w m it e h d the medium o f c he could assure them that all their efforts wo uld fail. Ho thou g ht the proper nhnetry Incumberedn were hrEe rsi t d ae e tse t t e sa r t m eps i course to be pursued was to appoint a commis sion and refer to them all litigate d claims, and t i questiona t T h a e i l those claims might be decided under the Act that constituted the commission, and all doubt and difficulty w ould be then removed, and no ques tion would be raised as to the legitimacy of one part or the other, and a good title could bo given to the purchaser. He wished to call the attention of the House to tge statements of Mr. Senior, one of the Masters of the Court of Chancery in this country. Now, what was that gentleman's opinion with respect to the incumbrances on land in this country? v Al ey n Senior ancin g says, imposes s "I am awar egre atdiffic h u t lty a , t the grea s t ! te x s pe m nse o , f con veyancing delay, and great uncertainty upon the transfer of land. Thore is scarcely a title marketable in the legal sense of the term, meaning a title without a flaw ; scarcely any title that is not subject to some legal doubt. A man who has agreed to sell a field for 300/. does not know that he has not contracted to spend 5001. in proving his title, while he who has agreed to buy does not know that he has contracted to spend 500/. in getting the title approved. England is the only civilized country requiring a 60 or even a 40 years' title. In every country but this the transfer of prop( rty was made through a notary's book, but the land is transferred in the same way as stock. He had in his hand a return very indicative of the condition into which agricul ture was rapidly falling i n I re l and ; t hi s was a re turn from seine extensive li me quarr i es in one of the most flourishing agricultural districts in Ire land. These quarries were situated in the county of Kilkenny. In 1845 these quarries sold 160,223 barrels of lime, but s i nce then there h a d been a gradual diminution in the sales in every successive year, and i n th e last year, 1848, they had fallen to 24 793 ba rre l s. He cou ld not state suits that twenty yearn was Court not to the House a fact whi c h esta b lishe d mo re clearly than this how rapidly th e agr i cultural i nteres t o f Ireland was falling. It might be th ought an exaggera tion, but ri nevertheless usual period it for u was true Chancery to extend t o when t h ey re l a ted to the sale or transfer of l an d e d pro p e rty.—(Hear.) All the cases he had referr e d to were i n th e Court of an u Chancery; but be would now mention one in the Court of Exchequer. He had not selected any exceptionable instance; he had taken them indiscriminately from a large number of cases which had come under his own personal observation. If it had been necessary he could have placed before the House instances of delay, and of the evils arising from the present system, far greater than any which he had yet adduced. The case to which he wished to refer was that of Power v, Power, in which the amount paid to the lawyers was 7,0001, being at the rate of 62 per cent. upon the yearly income ofrttibesEroon, perty which was the subject-matter ofl tLation There was one instance of the enorm ous landed which the present legal system imposed up practical proprietors, and he was satisfied that nod to enhance the pct move ment could be originated more ca lculated value of landed possessions , and more calculated to do away with this legal nuisance than a measure to facili tato an efficacious and speedy transfer of property in Ireland. It cost the receiver in one instance no less than 2082 to evict a tenant who owed 521. for rent, and to obtain possession of his farm. He would only now trouble the House with an instance of the sacrifice endured by a landowner who instituted what was called an " amicable suit," which was instituted generally at the suit of a friendly creditor, in order to enable the inheritor to pay his debts. There were twenty-three answers. In the course of na ture a defendant occasionally died, and on the death of a defendant, however amicably disposed his representa tives might be, a bill of revivor and supplement became necessary. There was a "decree to account" obtained three years after the institution of the suit, which must have been prosecuted in perfect good faith and with great energy. Nothing but the most extraordinary energy on the part of the profes sional men engaged in that proceeding could have ob tained a " decree to account" in three years after the filing of the original bill. There was a decree for a sale of the property in 1839. A portion of the estate to pay the debts, amounting to 17,0001. was offered for sale in 1839, the same year as the decree for a sale was pronounced. That portion was purchased for a sans of about 25,0004, but from the technical objections made by purchasers great delays took place in trying to complete the titles. The pur chasers availed themselves of all manner of difficulties, and got out of the sales. The same lands, with the same title, and with the same conditions of sale, were set up again in in 1845, but not being then likely from the fall in the price of land and the " liables" on the title to produce enough to pay the debts, additional lands were added, and a sale effected at a loss of 27 per cent. (Hear, bear.) Aseording to the practice and usage of the court the purchaser was compelled to lodge one-fourth of the purchase-money to abide the struggle and conflicts, which imposed in many cases an objection able and defective title on him ; and in this instance the investment amounted to 22,0001. odd. When the estate came to be sold for the purpose of distributing the purchase-money among the parties entitled to it, it only produced 19,6001. If they longer entrusted the Court of Chancery with the administration of incumbered estates he had no hesitation in saying that great injustice would be done to the mort gagor, the tenant, and all persona who had an interest in these estates. As the Solicitor-General intended to introduce a measure to modify the Act of last session, which had given general dissatisfaction, he would mention a few facts with respect to the working of that measure. He referred to the case of " Gold smith v. Glengell," entitled " An Irish Cre ditor's Suit," in which there were no less than 180 defendants. An attempt was made to make the whole of the suits which arose in the cause depend upon the issue of the first. The Master of the Rolls, in giving judgment, said he was there to administer the law as it stood. He (the Master of the Rolls) had prepared a bill, which would have reduced the defendants to two or three; but his measure was not adopted, and this he added was the way the opinions of practical men were set aside, and that of English conveyancers adopted in their stead. Those serious restrictions imposed by the Court of Chancery on the transfer of property could have no other effect than that of retarding agriculture, and keeping Irish society in its present miserable condi tion. The lion. Gentleman then adverted to the opinions of an eminent member of the Irish bar, who, he believed, was a member of the English bar also, on the subject, pointing out the difficulties and obstacles in the system in operation in the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and suggesting a mode by which its machinery might bo ,nodltied and the sale of encumbered estates facilitated and rendered far less expensive. He also threw out some suggestions respecting the redemption of encum bered estates; and recommended the appointment of a local board of commissioners, whose duty it should be to ascertain precisely the nature and character of titles, and *ho should have a power to confer upon purchasers a pure and Parliamentary title in the estates which they might purchase.—(Hear, hear.) The lion. Gentleman then directed the attention of the House to the system of tenant tenure in Ireland. The Right lion. Baronet the Secretary for Ireland had brought in a Bill on that subject last session, which he was sorry he had not per severed in, and which ho hoped to see the Right Hon. Baronet introduce again. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE—It has been intro duced this session, in the House of Lords. Mr. SADLEIR would have been better pleased had it been first introduced into the House of Commons, as they could deal with it in a less embarrassed manner. He had look( d into the system of tenant tenure in many other countries, and saw great advantages attend ing it in those countries ; but in Ireland how different was the case. There, they had their " leases of lives renewable for ever," and in their operation they were calculated to discourage industry, and productive of the worst effects in every point of view. They were gene rally renewable upon the payment of half a year's rent to the landlord, or on the payment of a " . peppercorn," or sometimes on the presentation of a pair of roast fowls.—(Laughter.) But that was not all ; the condi tion sometimes was that " the tenant should deliver to the landlord, on each life, as much parliamentary whisky as would make 172 glasses of strong whisky punch."— (Great laughter.) There was another system of abuse in operation with respect to tenant tenure in Ireland — that practised in relation to the collegiate lands in that country. The Provost and Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, had an immense mass of land in Ireland, and their practice was, even in the present year, to grant such a system of tenure as encouraged " middlemen," —a system most pernicious, and which would not be tolerated in this country. It was the duty of the present Government to adopt measures to discourage and put an end to a system fraught with such evils to society. The tenants should have their lands at a fair rent, and the system of " middlemen" should be put an end to.—(Hear, hear.) There were many landed pro prietors in Ireland who had too much land. The Mar quis of Lansdowne was one of those who bad too much land in that country. No property, he must say, could be better managed than the estates of the Marquis of Lansdowne in the counties of Kerry and Meath, and than the Noble Marquis there was not a more humane or a more liberal landlord in Ireland; yet ho took the liberty of saying that, for the Noble Marquis's own sake, and for the sake of the tenants, it would be well if he were not in possession of so much land in Ireland. —(Hear, hear.) He felt assured that.much good could now be done by the Government if they would only show that !they have a will equal to their power, by making Ireland's exigencies their best opportunity; nor did he see how any party could oppose any mea sures calculated to relieve the landed condition of the country, particularly as far as the Court of Chan cery made the transfer of property.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Sadleir) could not anticipate any opposition from any party to such plain and practical measures as he then called on the House to assist him in carrying through, and assured the Government, notwithstanding their misgivings, that incalculable benefit would result from them. He knew that it had been often said, both in the House and out of it, that the small tenants must become labourers; but lie would ask where in that coun try was •there a market for labour? or, where were those labourers to obtain a return for their capital— namely, their labour? Echo answers, where? Again, he thought it idle and useless to make cross-channel comparisons about the taxation of this country being high, while that of Ireland was very low.—(Hear, bear.) He could not refrain from expressing his as tonishment that the Noble Lord (Lord Johu Russell) should make such invidious comparisons, as that the people of this country paid 12,000,0001. per annum, from which the people of Ireland were totally exempt. Ile hoped that such comparisons would be no longer made, for he felt assured that it was the desire of all persona that the two countries should be assimilated as much as possible. Ile had before adverted to the beneficial results that would emanate from the invest- Ment of the surplus money in the Bank of England in the mortgaged estates of Ireland, for such would greatly tend to facilitate the transfer of property in the Court of Chancery. He, therefore, called the attention of the House to appoint a Select Committee to inquire into the best mode of facilitating the transfer or property in Ireland. Mr. J. O'CONNELL seconded the motion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that although he admitted that there were many evils attending the Court of Chancery, yet he should say that they were not con fined to Ireland, and he was happy to state that there was a great step already taken to reform those evils in both countries. He begged to remark to the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Sadleir) that when he spoke of the sale of estates in Ireland, that he did not then attack the Court of Chancery; but the titles by which the lands aro held, and which are not marketable, and these titles, he thought should be re reformed together with the judicial procedure of the Court. With respect to the Encumbered Estates Bill he should say that Government had devoted their most anxious attention to all the points adverted to by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Sadleir). He was also happy to state that a great change had taken place in the opinion of the House and of the public with regard to the Court of Chancery in England, and that Ireland would also reap the benefit of that change in a short time, through the Encumbered Estates Bill, which, together with other additional measures, would confer the greatest benefits and blessings on that country. With respect to the poor-law, he should say that there was an in creased facility through it to remove persons from their tenements, when not able to pay their rent, and to induce them to go elsowhero, tdv n u ta w hs h sau e t rrteehditsh the terya nu c s o oi t u ui s l o d en get twhao to s l u da p f p t be er r t as ; 0 m y e e yet paint if h mo l e e o og s h er ,e o aubludtnl not l r y r fur ther en ter a a .hs d oa mi . ever, it would be t he source of beneficial resul ts. et e b s ewould of the o mi a into the detai ls of the Hon.

" Rev. Sir,—According to promise, and from a firm and steadfast resolution of amending my future course of life, and as the only means of obtaining that peace of mind which is the necessary accompaniment of every penitent sinner, I have written you a full explanation of the unfortunate event that occurred on the 25th of March, 1847—namely, the loss of a parcel from Plymouth to Exeter, for Torquay, containing 60 51. notes of the Bank of England, the suspicion of stealing which, unfortu nately, fell on Mr. Edwin Hyett, at that time a clerk in the Exeter Post-office, and his brothers as accessa ries. I (Samuel Harrap), late letter-carrier, hereby acknowledge myself to be the only and actual transgres sor. The said parcel arrived safe to Exeter on the evening of the 25th of March, 1847, by the up Ply mouth mail, and by accident was thrown into the basket with the newspapers that was my duty to wort in com pany with Smeath, another letter carrier, since dead, God rest his soul, I hope, and who I firmly believe to have been a strictly honest man. Not being able to withstand the temptation, I took it, supposing it then, from its softness, to contain some kind of ladies' work, but to my great astonishment, on opening it, I found it to contain, as aforesaid, 60 51. notes. Not knowing what do with them for fear, I hid them for a short time in the thatch of a stable that I then rented at Northern-hay, but soon after, being in want of money, I ventured to exchange some of them, and at different times and places I ex changed twelve of them. Shortly after there was an outcry of some of the said notes being circulated. This had such an effect on me that I was ill for some time. I then told my wife of it, who was entirely ignorant of it until then, and as you may suppose caused such g rief and sorrow that had been hitherto unknown in my farnil, My wife, an affectionate and honest creature, begged o f 48 ; and to her entreaties, and I burnt the remaining r tnh e d s o s ukg o i hu f dgmuii wife, lntdy would to God I had done so with the whole rather than to have undergone the anguish of mind I have endured, me to destroy them to prevent further trouble. e I or caused such disgrace to fall on the heads of those in. yielded , nocent young men. The above is a true and correct s unfortunate fo t w r t o u n y a e taercircumstance, from the eyesad which upwards of le could not have prevented me from divulging it before ; t o b i f u ce t u s c i ii H r, s a y n d ou o l ff m e b n n e c a c e t n , , o a l chsoianudgr man,ko o w :tolh:aat dis t ress : a l l i,as stat ement been u o p f w an BIRTHS IN THE WEEK.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, April 17. (Sitting in Banco.) WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH RAILWAY V. FOOKES. In this case a rule had been obtained by the defendant to set aside an award which was made on the 12th of January, 1848, giving him 1,7C0/. as compensation for certain lands which were required for the construction of the railway. An arbitrator was appointed by each party, but not being able to agree no award was made by them, and the matter was ultimately referred to an umpire who was appointed by the Railway Commissioners under the power granted by a recent Act, and who settled the amount of compensation. The claimant, when he applied to the Court for his rula to set aside the award, objected to it mainly upon the grounds, first, that the umpire was not duly appointed; secondly, that the umpire had not, by his award, adjudicated as to the party or parties who were to pay the costs, and that his award had not determined the amount of the coats; and, thirdly, that the award was contrary to the evidence brought before him. Sir F. KELLY now showed cause against the rule, and was heard at considerable length, but his arguments were altogether of a technical character, having reference chiefly to the construction of the Acts of Parliament affecting the case. Mr. MARTIN addressed the Court in support of the rule, and contended, that as it would be a great hardship upon the defendant to lose his costs by an omission in the award, the rule should be made absolute. Tho COURT discharged the rule; but, inasmuch as their Lordships thought that considerable doubt attached to the question, it was discharged without costs. AUSTRIA. It is said that Count Stadion has resigned. The .llagyars have again taken St. Tomas, which was last year so obstinately defended by the Sergi fans. The Servian Patriarch has been forced to fly from Becskerek to Panesora. The command of the besieging army at Comorn, which has lately been in a state of mutiny, as most troops are when unsuccessful, has been entrusted to General Wohlgemuth. According to the Ostdeutsche Post of the 14th instant the paper circulation of the Austrian State amounts to no less than 232 millions of florins, while the metallic currency, gold, silver, and copper, shows as low a figure as 32 millions. " A pennyworth of bread to such an enormous quantity of sack." As the public is only concerned to the amount of 41 millions of notes, the Austrian Government must have taken advantage of the credit of the bank, to the amount of no less than 190 millions. The Vienna Gazette (the official journal) publishes in its number of the 12th instant the following com munication of the Imperial Cabinet to the Baron von Prokesch, the Austrian Plenipotentiary in Berlin, under date at 1849 : r Courts, in which his — man German " The Count Von Bernstoff has communicated to me a circular, forwarded at the same time to all the Prus sian Ambassadors Majesty the King, in consequence of the expressed intention of the Regent of the Empire to resign his post, has set forth his readiness to accept, on the proposition of the German Governments, and with the consent of the German National Assembly, the provisional direction of the affairs of Germany; to respond to the call made on him, and to place himself at the head of a Ger man confederate state, to be composed of such states as are inclined to connect themselves voluntarily with it. "Besides these declarations, all the Governments re ceived the invitation to appoint, without delay, special plenipotentiaries in Frankfort-on-the-Maine, for the purpose of making explicit declarations—l. As to the admission into the confederate state, and the con ditions under which such admission is to take place. 2. As to the position which the Governments which shall join such a confederate state will oc cupy with respect to the German National Assembly and its decisions already agreed to, with the understand ing that the arriving at an agreement with relation to the Constitution shall be without delay commenced. 3. As to the relations to those German states which hesi tate to join the Confederate one, whereby it is desirable that the attempt be made to adjust the affairs of the still existing Confederation to the new form of state. " Our readiness to meet the propositions, if such were made on the _part of Prussia in its capacity as a fellow member of the Germanic Confederation (a confedera tion which is based on a stipulation, and which de facto still exists), for the purpose of coming, in a legal way, to an arrangement respecting reforms in Germany, in accordance with the spirit of the age, on the basis of the project of constitution discussed by the National Assembly, our readiness, we repeat it, is proved by our positive declarations and the repeated and decisive steps which we have taken to that effect in Berlin.

TEA.—Public sales are declared for Thursday, and the quantity advertised is nearly 20,000 pkgs. There are further arrivals, and the stock is now as large as at this time last year. For home consumption duty was paid upon 500,000 at this port for the week, although black can be obtained at rather lower rates, little desire was shown by town or country dealers to do business, and several parcels are on offer. There has been much dulness in the market for Green, and as the supply is abundant sales can be made upon rather lower terms. A further fall is also visible in the value of Scented and Pekoe Teas • the quantity on offer is also far more than suffi cienefor the demand, which is still limited. RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with little atten tion, but a smaller amount was on offer. At auction 1,638 bags Bengal only in part sold at 9s 6d to 1013 6d for good mid and good white, and at 6s to 9a 6d for damaged, being the full value; 1,300 bags Madras were taken in at 8s 6d for pinky white. SAGO.—To-day a public sale of 300 chests went at 1a to 21s 6d for bold pearl, being barely the former value. SPICES have been dealt in with caution— prices are also on the decline.

SALTPETRE.—To-day rough met with a good demand, and 449 bogs of Calcutta, at auction, sold at 30s to 30s 6d for good strong grey 5 per cent refraction; these are stiff rates. INDIco.— The quantity announced for public compe tition on the Bth of May, has been increased to 6,507 chests. There has been little desire manifested by home dealers to do business, and export orders aro trifling, still it is difficult to make sales under last quarterly sales' rates. To-day the public sale of 73 serons Guatemala indigo went from 2s Id to 4a 2d; these are full rates. SPIRITS.—East India Rum is in increased supply, and can be obtained upon lower terms, yet only small purchases have been pride, and is 3d is the value of proof.

Fine Jamaica is wanted for home use and exportation, and firm rates are offerd; the supply is also still scanty, inferior and mid kinds continue to be dealt in with caution, and the supply is still on the increase; prices are also on the decline ; 30 to 29 per cent. over proof is 2s 7;1 to 2s 9d, 30 to 36 at 2s 10d to 3s 6d, and superior 3s 8d to 4s 4d. Demerara met with little attention, and sellers are willing to accept 2s to 2s 4d for 23 per cent over proof. In Haven nab Rum little business has been done, and Is 2d is the value of proof. Prices for all sorts are still under this time in the former year. Brandy has been dealt in with caution, and the stock continues to get larger. There are sellers of Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1845 at 5s 6d to 5s 8d; ditto 1846, at 5s 4d to 5s Gd; ditto 1847,4 s 2d to 4s 43; ditto 1848, 3s 6d to 4s Bd, and inferior brands 29 2d to 3s 4el. Geneva is offered at Is 9d to Is 10d for exportation sort, fine for duty at 2s 9d to 3s 3d, the sales made have also been small.

Homo made is offered at 38s 6d to 39s net cash, but the operations are of little mo ment, and an 'increased quantity is pressing for sale. Other sorts of Tallow are depressed in value, and the supply exceeds the demand. At auction 50 casks Petersburgh Soap Tallow only partly found buyers at 36s 3d to 36s 6d; 275 casks New South Wales 33s 9d to 395; 533 casks South American 33s 9d to 375. For auction the large quantity of 1,000 pkgs of Tallow are declared. Rough Fat is quoted at 2s 2id per stone. There is still a much larger stock of Tallow than in the former year, and deliveries keep falling off. Ons.—There are sellers of Cod at 261 per tun, still only small sales have been made, and prices tend down wards. Seal has been dealt in with caution, and on the part of holders a disposition is shown to sell. Pale can be obtained at 301, straw and tinged, 281 10s to 291 10s, and other sorts 261 to 281.

VETERINARY OPERATION UNDER CHLOROFORM: — On Monday week the painful operation of firing was performed on a horse in the possession of J. G. Bridge, Esq., of Piddletrenthlde. From a desire to avoid un necessary torture to the animal, it was decided that it should be submitted to the influence of chloroform. The following account may be interesting:—The horse having been thrown, the india -rubber nose-piece, charg ed with two ounces of chloroform, was applied to the nos trils, and the effect was almost instantaneous. In two minutes the horse became insensible, and the firing Ira concluded within twenty minutes, without any pluning or symptoms of pain (the chloroform b ein g re-applie g d on any appearance of returning animation). The hobbles being removed, three minutes elapsed before the horse awoke, when he stood up a nd commenced eating tho grass in the paddock, perfect l y c o ol, and without those symptoms of excitement a nd distress which usually attend that painful treatment. The operation was most ably performed by Mr. J. IV. Nobbs, veterinary surgeon, of Cerne Abbas.—Sherborne Journal. Sir Edward and Lady Kerrisoh arrived in Great Stan hope-street yesterday, from Brighton, where they have been passing the hohdays.
