Another example has just been afforded to the ab surdity of attempting to legislate for the diffusion of abstract morality. The Anti- Sunday-Trading move ment and the Anti-Sunday-Travelling movement were extravagant enough in themselves; but the Bill recently introduced into the House of Commons under the auspices of Mr. SPOONER, a Bill which originally emanated from the House of Peers, and received the approval of the Lord Chief Baron, cer tainly strikes us as being an example of the very acme of morbid delicacy and religious sentimentalism. With all our hearts we respect those who conscientiously abstain from unnecessary labour on the Sunday; and our respect is not one jot less profound and sincere for those who, by affording at once the precepts and the practice of chastity, aid in the diminution of such illicit habits of concupiscence as tend so materially to the propagation of vice and wretchedness in a populous community. . At the same time, we cannot but regard the interposition of the law for the maintenance of the sanctity of the Sunday, and for the suppression, or rather for the gradual extinction of prostitution, as an effort re quiring the most discriminative caution in its employment. The line of demarcation • between the Divine and Human codes is so strong and visible in theory, and so feeble , and almost imperceptible in fact, that it is necessary to exercise the most continual and vigilant circum spection to prevent the infringement of the one by the other. It is from our solicitude to witness no glaring interference with the ecclesiastical polity, and from our knowledge of the extreme liability of a political legislature to outstep its rightful limits when touching upon these delicate subjects, that we are averse to that indiscriminate interposition with matters properly belonging to those appointed to the exercise of spiritual authority, and not to those in whose hands are confided the reponsibilities of temporal juri-diction. There is no greater fallacy abroad than the notion that a nation may be-rentlered moral by Acts of Par liameat. Depravity flourish es no t so muc h i n t h e market-place as in the haunts of obscurity. Men are not usually in the habit of gratifying their evil pas sions under the nose of public scrutiny. To employ a vulgar but expressive phrase, the thief is only a thief on the sly : the forger is on l y a for g e r on the sly : eVerhn'llecleViaicine on Me sly, and adultery, and all -those'riii-Cou—roffAces which cry aloud to heaven for /-.... Tengeidce. So long as this secrecy is the instinct / of licentiousness so long will it be vain on the p ar t , of the; Legislature to; attempt to enforce morality by runi i shmen i to /, .: /' ineofAlthis, however, appears to have been i THE comprehended by the originators and supporters of that very decorous but very impracticable measure called the Bill for the Protection of Women. As to the motive out of which the Bill has emanate no- thing could be more pure, more noble, more generous or more entitled to our respect. Still that purity, that nobleness, and that generosity fail to render the measure one atom the more practicable. And for this reason, together with the goodness of the motive, we are compelled to recognize the fact that the senti ment of the thing is of the most morbid description. Not only have all the law Lords dis countenanced the project as one whose good conse quences are altogether chimerical, but the Bill has been exposed, in all its deformity and extravagance, by the keen and analytic remarks of the ATTORNEY GENERAL. Besides the condemnatory observations of Sir Joins JERVIS, the measure has called forth the energetic opposition of Sir GEORGE GREY, of Mr. HUME, of Mr. MILNER GIBSON, and of other distin guished representatives. They do not fail to per ceive the futility of any such efforts to necessitate the practice of virtue. Wishing, as sincerely as Mr. SPOONER himself could, wish, to decrease the number of the unfortunate women whose lives of misery are the disgrace of Civilization and the defiance of Chris tianity, we must nevertheless confess that we sym pathise in no respect in the present endeavour of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for North Warwick shire. For it is clear to us that scarcely anything can result from the Bill, in the event of its being called into operation, beyond the enhancement of the wretchedness of lives which are already sufficiently miserable and debased. Should the scheme be ac tually passed into an Act of Parliament, we shall witness, among many other circumstances equally intolerable, the accumulation of annoyanceS round the more respectable portions of the population. Many an informant will be invited to come forward like Master ELBOW—thus: " I say, Sir, I will.detest my self also as well as she, that this house, if it be not a bawd's house, it is pity of her life, for it is a naughty house:' And we shrewdly suspect that there would be found much truth in that declaration of POMPEY BUM—" If you head and hang all that offend that way for ten year together, you'll be glad to give out a commission for more heads : if this law hold in Vienna [or in London much more] ten year, I'll rent the fairest house in it after threepence." We cannot conceive to ourselves, however, the pos sibility of such an egregious mass of blunders and puerilities passing through the House of Commons, or at any rate passing through Committee, without extraordinary emendation. Should the Bill ulti mately receive the Royal Sanction, we cer tainly shall expect to see in it a glaring resemblance to the boat that was patched and patched in all directions, until there remained not one particle of the original material—leaving the opinion of logi cians and philosophers divided as to whether it were the same boat or another ! Unless some such course be adopted, we assuredly do not anticipate for one moment the chance of the Bill passing into an Act of Parliament. Upon the subject, therefore, of the projected emendations in Committee, we trust that the Hon. Gentleman, the representative of North Warwickshire, will be somewhat more explicit, on the occasion of the adjourned debate on the second reading, which will be resumed next Wednesday. Otherwise the Commons will be fully justified in abruptly rejecting the measure without further consideration. The Corporation of the City of London is acting in a manner worthy of its high position as the first municipal body in the world, and of the exalted liberality for which it has been distinguished during so many successive ages. It is prepared to assume the initiative in the measures to be adopted for the relief of their Irish brethren, and the elevation in the social scale of that magnificent but much neglected country. If bright spots are to be found amid the all but universal gloom that prevails throughout the island—if " oases" are to be discovered, sprinkled throughout the desert—they must be sought ior in the estates of the Great Companies of the City of London. These influential bodies have ever more sedulously endeavoured to discharge the duties than to enforce the rights incidental to 1 possession of property. They have afforded a wise and salutary encourazemeat_ to the deserving._ and improving occupiers of the soil. The happiness and prosperity of their tenantry has ever been regarded as their chief object, and mere pecuniary consider ations have been but of secondary importance. Un der their control and management the occupier was certain of receiving full justice. If he expended his labour or his capital in the permanent amelioration of his holding, he knew that himself or his family would reap the full benefit thereof; that he would not be ejected from the lands he had improved, or have his rent unduly increased beyond a fair amount to provide for the incumbrances of an embarrassed landlord, or to gratify the cupidity of a greedy agent, who would receive a handsome duuceur for permitting a stranger to reap the benefits of another man's industry and enterprise. The natural result fol lowed; while other estates were deteriorated in value and suffered to become comp trativeli barren and un productive, those of the London Companies were brought into the highest state of cultivation, their na tural capabilities were fully and completely deve loped, and might challenge comparison with the best managed properties in this happy nation. The tenants were thriving and prosperous, the labourers happy and contented, with constant employment at fair and remunerative prices. " A fair day's work" was given in return for " a fair day's wages," and all classes were benefited by the humane and benevolent, and at the same time wise and politic rules adopted by the London Companies on their estates in the "black north." There it was that the principle of " tenant right" was first established, and there it has invariably been acted upon with the strictest equity. An unwritten code has started into existence mu tually beneficial to all parties concerned—to landlords as well as to tenants, and its provisions have never been in the slightest degree infringed by the livery men of the city of London. A deep debt of gratitude is due to the distinguished gentleman who so admirably discharges the impor tant duties of first magistrate of this great metropolis, for having convened the meeting which assembled at the Mansion-house on Friday last, and to Mr. DAVID WILLIAMS WIRE and the other members of the Corporation, who so enthusiastically responded to the invitation issued by the LORI . ) Aaron. If any of the plans suggested by Mr. WIRE should be carried into execution a great step would be taken in the right direction towards the achievement of the social re • generation of the Sister Kingdom and the establish ment of peace, order, and prosperity therein ; the first great want of the country would be supplied in the best manner, and capital would be introduced under the most propitious and favourable circum- I •%.41ees. As a mere pecuniary speculation nothing could 13. -..,„,,,, productive than the purchase of Irish estates at Preset**. vrices. Lands that formerly com manded twenty-five or twuty years' purchase are now prac tically unsaleable, or it % Teed into the marke t owing to the embarrassments or th. nominal D s ' prietors, must be sold at twelve or Voluteett Years' h purc hase, less than one - h alf of what could - r°- _ay, bee n obtained in better tim es, or what, we venture to say, will be obtained in future years, when remedial measures Legislature, shall that have been enacted , an d those which will un doubtedly still be submitte d to the have received a fair and reasonable trial. But the Corporation of London are animated by still Ligher motives than any respecting the profits that might be realised from their transactions- Their object is to ameliorate the condition of their suffering fellow - creatures, to enable those who are now enduring all the evils attendant on the deepest poverty to obtain prosperity and comparative affluence by their own honest industry and good conduct ; to set an example which, if extensively followed, as it most probably Kill be, will raise the Irish nation to a level with this country, and render her the right arm and strongest support of England, in place of being an incumbrance and heavy drain upon the national resources. In the beautiful language of Sir ROBERT PEEL, " It will not seek to expel the natives from the soil It will seek to elevate their character—to encourage their industry—to find for them permanent employ ment—to instil the principles of order—of respect for the laws—of submission to authority." " Such will be the glorious effort of the City of London," said the Right Hoa. Baronet, and the community in general, must fully assent to the justice of the obser vation. It is, indeed, a glorious undertaking, which LONDON, FRIDAY whatisver may be the result, will carry with it its OWEI rich reward, in the approving hearts and aPr.iroving consciences of those by whom the ,ovement has been originated and promoted. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the following dispatch frcm General OIIDII'iOT . - " Santucci, June 20. " Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to address to you a continuation of the resume of the besieging operations:— " From the 17th to the 18th of June.—The third parallel has been carried on the left, to a road which has already been the limit of the preceding works. On the left of this road, which leads from the country to the city, the ground rapidly descends; and there is a passage which is n ot . only di ffi cult to cross, but is ex posed to the fire of the left flank of bastion 8, which is armed with tw o howitzers, k ee pi ng u p a cont i n ual fire. During the night the fire of the place and that of the trenches was almost null. Th e p r incipal work was the construction of the breaching batteries. Batteries No. 7 and 8 have been terminated. Battery No. 9 has been commenced in the approaches not yet enlarged; the ob ject of it is to open the bastion No. 7; it is placed at 60 metres from the face to be battered, and it will be im mediately armed. "From the 18th to the 19th.—During the night we debouched to the right and left of the breaching-battery opposite the curtain. The approaches were directed against the walls of the old demi-lune which covered it. the approach of the right is 60 metres in length, and that of the lett 26. The latter has been turned to the right, and directed on a gabion made by the enemy, but evacuated. We have made the gabion useful as a cover from the curtain, and at one of its angles we have made a construction to protect the work from the fire of bas tion 6. During the day we enlarged the approaches of the right, .and actively occupied ourselves in forming steps in the third parallel. Battery No. 7, directed against the curtain, terminated its embrasures during the night, and opened its fire about nine o'clock. Bat tery No. 8, directed against bastion 6, was entirely ter minated at abeut eight o'clock. It began to fire at about half-past nine. We cannot yet well appreciate the re sult of the day. Battery No. 9 was only terminated at nine o'clock in the morning. The firing immediately commenced. Two mortars fire on ba s tion 6, and two others on bastion 7. Their fire is well directed. The battery S. Pancraz'o has been a good deal ad7anced during the day. It wilt be easily terminated during the night. Our loss may be estimated at about 4 killed and 26 wounded. Captain Rochebonet, of the artillery, has received a contusion in the hand from a ball, and M. Gouy, first lieutenant, has been wounded by a ball behind ,he neck. (Signed) " OUDINOT DE REGGIO." It is rumoured in Paris that the Government have received information of the defeat of General OUDINOT by the Romans. According to one ac count the Romans had entrenched themselves so strongly behind the breach that the French had failed both in a direct attack and in an attempt to carry the position, and had, consequently, been com pelled to retreat. Another rumour was that the Ro mans had sprung a mine, which had destroyed a con siderable portion of the French forces, and compelled OUDINOT to withdraw to a distance from Rome, whAst another rumour stated that a force of 3,000 men had been permitted by the Romans to penetrate into the city, and that when they had become en tangled in the narrow streets they had been attacked, and cut off - to a man. Certain it is, that up to the evening of the 23,1, OUDINOT had not entered the city. A letter from Marseilles gives the following as the latest news from Rome : _ " In the Trenches, June 22, Four Lm. " A second wall of considerable thickiess has been discovered within the rampart, and distant about 1,400 feet. This wall has been lately thrown up, and is made of stone, bricks, and ancient monuments. &c. &c. It is said that the French will find more difficulty in destroy ing this wall than in i,he opening of the breaches on the rampart." MM. Mole, de Purat, Le Lanayrac, Callet, Ba roche, Fleustier, Emile Leroux, Combaret de Leyval, Dauste, Pidoux, Nettement, de Riancey, Mathieu, (de la Redorte) and Chaupot, have been appointed members of the Committee to report on-the new law relating to the press, proposed by M. OmLoN IJanuar—a law which has not even the merit of originality, being a servile copy of the laws of Sep tember, which, under Louis PHILIPPE, he never tired in denouncing. The Credit has the following admirable observa tions on the anomalous position occupied by MM. ODILON BAaROT and DUTAURI3, as members of reactionary Ministry : " Let M. de Falloux seek to bring back the human mind to the sterility which marks those countries where his opinions have for ages prevailed; let him dream of restoring at once the temporal power of the Pope, and of restoring in France the power of the Church over public instruction; let him order the bombardment of Rome, that the bishop may enter the Vatican as a King; and let him bombard the university, that the children may flee the colleges to take shelter in the seminaries; in 6 t a winomt.k.6.aur Imo is. Sobouit, oir incicasitoe, who can feel surprise? But Odilon Barrut, the man of law and liberty, remaking, correcting, and considerably augmenting the laws of September! But M. Dutaure, the accomplished debater, preventing the public discussion of public interests, and prohibiting a whole people from debating their ordinary concerns! But M. de To-queville, the successor of Lafayette in the work of holding up Republican America to the ad miration of France—lie chaining this France to Kings in order to smother Republican sentiment in Europe! These are, indeed, unexpected, surprising, startling events, which draw tears from our eyes, but will make others burst with laughter. And this deplorable spec tacle ends with a petty farce, that of M. Lacrosse, pro posing to finish the old and unfinishable palace of the Kings of France in the midst of cholera, of suspension of work, on the morrow of the 13th of June, and in the face of misery and insurrection, preying on the vitals of the sovereign people, in rags and dens of filth ! Has France lost all he .rt, spirit, and good sense ? Is it pos sible that she can support much long. , r such a spectacle? What! not a new sentiment to refresh her soul, net en idea for the future, ao acts but of a negative or re pressive kind, or a miserable plagiarism from the worst days of despotism, and such plagiarisms as bad as those of anarchy." It is said that M. DE LASLARTINE is certain to be returned for Charente Inferieure, in the room of the late Marshal BUGEAUD. The Credit alludes to the note published in the Moniteur of the blockade of Ancona, and of the ob ject of Austria in so doing being to restore the POPE. The fact of the publication of the note of the French Government appears to the Credit to involve a joint responsibility on its part with Austria, in the endeavour to effect the re-establishment of the Soverign . PONTIFF. The Credit, after declaring this, says— " The Government has not yet said that it intervenes for this object; but after the notification that it has received from Austria, and published, it cannot dis pense with positively declaring if it proposes to itself the same object in order that no one may be ignorant if it acts with Austria or with England, and especially in order that France may know for whose interest it is that she spends the blood of our soldiers. If the Government thinks that the publication of the Austrian note is a sufficient declaration of adhesion to Austrian policy, and consequently a sufficient rectifica tion for the country and for Europe of the adoption by it of a similar policy of Papal restoration, it deceives it self—the thing is worth the trouble of being positively explained." The Roman expedition has become so unpopular that the various members of the Government are en deavouring each to shirk the responsibility. The PRESIDENT of the Republic declares that he ordered the expedition to proceed to Civita Vecchia, but that he gave no orders for the advance upon Rome. M. ODILON BARROT equally declares that he never ordered the advance upon Rome, the whole responsi bility of which rests upon the shoulders of hi. DE FALLOUX. ----. PARIS BOURSE—THURSDAY, JUNE 28.

In the absence of any cer tain information from Rome. there were plenty of ramours afloat.

Her Majesty's illustrious } th e Thi r d late Duke of Kent, was created b y George er Earl of Dublin, which title beca me extinct at his demise. Her Majesty will be attended by one of the Secretaries of State, probably Sir George Grey, and it is expected that Parliament will be prorogued three weeks earlier than last year. Lieut.-Colonel English, commanding the Royal Engineers at Woolwich, is seriously indisposed; he was recovering from the effects of the accident ho met with a short time since, but symptoms have exhibited them selves which are calculated to occasion alarm to his friends. Sir John Pelly had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the C9l9ahtl-01fice. GERMAN Y AND THE NORTHERN STATES. • AUSTRIA. The telegraphic dispatch, announcing the defeat of GEORGEY by the Austrian general, w hich appeared in our fourth edition of last night, stated that he had retreated across the Waag, with 30.000 men and eighty pieces of cannon. The fact that G BORG EY was enabled to take with him eighty pieces of cannon would lead to the supposition that his retreat was not the consequence of defeat. The probability is that he is acting upon the system of tactics which has already served the Hungarians so well. He seeks to lead the enemy into the morasses of the Theiss, there to detain them until the climate shall have done its work, leaving it to the clouds of Ilonved guerillas, with which the country was swarming, to cut off their sup plies and harass them incessantly. The Ost Deutsch Post publishes the text of the draft of the Provisional Constitution for the Arch- duchy of Austria below the Ems. It enacts that there shall be a Diet, consisting of thirty deputies of towns, of thirty deputies of all the other communes, and of the same number of the heaviest tax payers, that is, of those who pay together a third of the taxes of the electoral arrondissement in which they reside. The Diet is to be convoked every year at Vienna fbr an ordinary session, which is to last six week-, but may be prolonged if necessary. Similar provincial constitutions are being prepred for all the other countries subject to the Crown of Austria. SUN, EVENING, Is. Oct. Is. 3:1.

The note goes on to say that the insurrection which has broken out in those parts of Germany which border upon France, have not only not been favoured by France, but the French Government will use every effort to check the progress of the revolutionary party on the French territory. All know that in this respect the French Government may do much, arid the note in question has consequently caused general satisfaction here to every friend of order and legitimate goverfiment. The note concludes by stating, that the French Government from the first, saw the real object of the concentration of the Ger man armies on its frontiers, but that this concentra tion occa-ioned no inquietude, and the satisfactory explanation given by the Prussian Cabinet had fully confirmed the confidence of the French Government. Thus have France and Germany sincerely com bined to countervene the revolutionary elements. This is an event of the greatest importance to Europe, since the reciprocal concurrence of these two countries induces the hope that the revolution Rill be effectually quelled.--Gazette des Postes. THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT. The Members who were expelled by force from Stuttgardt have lodged a complaint before the Court of Justice Esslingen against the Ministry of Wirtem burg, for a breach of the Wirtemburg law of the 30th September last, which declares any act of violence against the Natiunal Assembly, or against its Members, to be high treason, and liable to the penalty of twenty years' bard labour. The Swabian Mercury contradicts the reported death of M. F. Ravi Aux, the member of the Provi sional Regency, and states that a warrant of arrest has been issued against him by the law authorities of Cologne on a charge . of conspiring to overthrow and change existing governments and exciting civil war. ITALY. Accounts from Rome to the 23d have been received, at which date the French had not entered the city, although they had made a lodgment in three breaches in the bastion near the Porta Pancrazzia. It was said that the Romans had made a second line of de tence parallel to the points at which the French would make the assault. On the 18th General OUDINOT sent a flag of truce to ask for an armistice of three hours to enable him to bury his dead, which was agreed to. The message of the PRESIDENT of the French Republic had reached Rome, and had occa sioned some sensation on account of the auda cious mendacity of its assertions as regards the state of Roman affairs. The PRESIDENT says, that if the expeditionary army had marched on Rome imme diately after disembarking, there can be no doubt that the gates of the city would have been thrown open to it ; but that the arrival of GARIBALDI in Rome with 4,000 men, during the period of OUDINoT's stay at Civita Vecchia, produced an entire change in the views of the Government and the feelings of the popu I , ,tion, and determined them on resistance. Now, GARIBALDI entered Rome at the head of 700 men only; and if he now Commands as many thousands, it is because the Republic has made him a General of Division. The troops of GARIBALDI are constantly repre sented as a band of desperate adventurers ; the contrary is the case. GARIBALDI has under his com mand, in proportion to the number of his forces, a greater number of soldiers possessing property than has any other General at this moment commanding, except perhaps the patriot Gen rids in Hungary. Col. MASINA, one of his officers, who was k►lled on the 3d, possessed a private fortune of 1,5001. a year, and one of his captains, wbo died on the 15th of June, has left a fortune of 20,0001. The French have been indulging their penchant for wanton destruction without, as well as within the walls. Not content with the damage done to the public buildings of Rome by their bombardment, not content with bombarding those very hospitals in which their own wounded atter the 30th April were received and tended, they have destroyed and burnt, from mere wantonness of mischief, many of the most beautiful villas in the neighbourhood of Rome. The property of British subjects, to the value of 7,0001., has been destroyed, and the English church, which was held as sacred by the Romans, and permitted to stand, albeit from its situation it might afford protection to the besiegers, has been by the French undermined and seriously damaged. This, however, was to be ex pected ; the destruction of a Protestant church must have been a labour of love to M. DE FALLOUX'S Army of the Faith. The deputation from Bologna to the POPE has not yet set out, in consequence of a serious difference of opinion having arisen among its members. Several persons appointed to office by the newly established representatives of the Pontifical Government have refused to accept the places offered them. A letter from Berne of the 23d inst. announces the conclusion of peace between Austria and Sardinia on the following conditions :—The evacuation of Ales sandria ; payment to Austria of the expenses of the war; Modena and Parma to be ceded to Piedmont in lieu of Lombardy ; an offensive and defensive alliance between Austria and Piedmont, and the lat ter to furnish a contingent of 20,000 men. The Milan Gazette of the 23d publishes the text of the capitulation of Ancona as follows : " CONVENTION STIPULATED AT THE HEAD QUARTERS OF CoLLEADIENO, BEFORE ANCONA., ON THE 19TH Or JUNE. In consequence of the mutual desire to put an end to hostilities, and to avoid any further damage to the town of Ancona from the operations of siege carried on by the Imperial troops against the citadel and the torts, the communal representatives of the town, and the officers empowered by the military commandant of the town and forts, presented themselves at the head quarters of the Imperial and Royal Lieutenant-Marshal commanding the imperial and royal troops, Francis Count Wimpffen, where the following points were mutually agreed on.-1. The garrison of the citadel and torts (which shall leave them with military honours), being composed of different corps, the said Lieutenant-Marshal engages to obtain a complete amnesty for those Austrian soldiers who have enlisted in them, abandoning their own colours, and also for the Pontifical carabineers and the soldiers of the line forming part of the said garrison. The former shall return to their regiments, according to the orders of the Imperial and Royal General-Com mandant in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom; the latter shall take the oath of fidelity to their legitimate Sove reign, or else, should they prefer returning to their horn -s, they shall go in the direction they choose, pro vided with their proper furloughs.

P&iyy COUNCIL,' THIS DAY.—The Queen held a Privy Council this afternoon at Buckingham Palace, at Two o'clock. It was attended by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Firsc Lord of the Treasury, the Secretaries of State for the Foreign a nd Colonial Departments, the Niaster of the horse, and the Lord Chamberlain. The newly-appointed Judge Advocate-General Sir David Dundas, it i 3 understood, was to be sworn in . a Member of the Council among other business to be transacted today, JUNE 29, 1849.

The Foreign Stock Markets are advised as having been steady generally up t 3 the date of the accounts received this morning.

The Corn Market is very firm this morning, and with rather limited supplies. The Money Market continues easy, although the dis count brokers have had slightly increased facilities in placing their assets. The close of the financial quarter, and the improvement in some branches of trade, have contributed to this, but there is no reason to suppose but that cash will be offered as freely as ever when the divi dends come into play. The Funds are rather flitter to-day, after having 1 opened well, and Consols from 92i have recedtd to 91} 92. The bickering between the President of France and his Ministry has had some little influence, and the reaction atter a rise is also felt upon a fuller supply of stock for immediate transfer, as well as upon the realisation of apt culative profits.

During the. present week the nrrivls of English Wheat cOastwise for our tnarke.t have been confined to 1,240 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kwnt. Those by land carriage and sample have been small in the extreme. To-day, the stands were very scantily supplied, owing to which, the demand fur all kinds of Wheat of home pro duce was firm, at prices fully t qual to those obtained on Monday, and at which clearane,s e. ere t ffected at an early hour. The imports of foreige Wheat have amounted to 5,260 quarters. Selected qualities motet d off rt adily, at ex treme rates of value. In the middling and inferior kinds, a moderate business was transacted, at late rates. Floating cargoes of Wheat and other grain were quite as dear. No English Barley on sale. The supply (.f Foreign was 5.940 quarters. Grinding qualities sold freely, all other kinds slowly, at full prices. Alalt was in good supply, and h. an, demand, at bikrvly lust week's quotations.

Nearly all the stock ot Raisins in Englat.d may be said to exist in this port, and se yen-eighths of it consist of Valentias, all of good sound quality. Although from causes connected, probably, with the general backwardness of the season the demand has been slack, and the clearances consequently light, there is little doubt of the vvholg of the present stock being required for the summer and autumn demand. The trade in ge neral are barely supplied. Fics.—Our stock of Turkey Figs is quite exhausted PRUNES.--The low prices of this article are causing a steady consumption, which seems likely to continue during the summer months, in the absence of the usual supply of our own fruits. GREEN FRUIT.—The market still continues depressed for Oranges, but the low price assists the consumption, and as the various parcels from Lisbon and Palermo have been landed in bad condition, sales have been pressed on the market. Lemons are in better demand, but until the parcels that are out of condition are cleared off no improvement can be expected. A parcel of West India Pine Apples, ex Severn steamer, have been sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, and realised good prices. Some cargoes by sailing vessels are daily expected.

Last night Lon Pasquale was performed for the first time this ft asun on the occasion of the annual benefit of Signor Puzzi, and with the exception of Lablache, who of course was the glorious Don, the cast was entirely new, Mademoiselle Alboni sustaining the character of Norina, Belletti that of Dr. Malatesta, and Calzolari that of Ernesto. The Norina of Mademoiselle Alboni, tidy sustains the character she has recently acquired as an actress. Nothing could be more humerous than the exceeding naivete almost amounting to gaucherie of her sentplicita sctne with Don Pasquale at the cemmeneemt nt of the second act, and the sudden meta morphosis to the virago immediately after the completion of the marriage contract, was admirable. She hung the music exquisitely, and threw into it infinite spirit. Never nave we heard the opening aria' Quel guardo' so perfectly rendered. The beautiful quartette at the close of the second act was admirably given by Alboni, Calzolari, lit-letti, and Labia, he, and was rapturously encored, as was the finale, wriich, as rendered by Alboni, was one of the mo't sparkling exhibitions of brilliant exe cution ever wituensed. Beletti was very effective as Malatesta; he made the various points tell excellently, and admirably acted up to Lablache. Calzolari sung the music of Ernesto with great taste and feeling, and was encort•d in the serenade. The Don Pasquale of Lablache was more replete with rich and unctious humour than ever; he seemed to revel in the fun that he created, and to as thoroughly enjoy it himself as did his audi ence. It is a character in which one never tires of seeing Lablache, for albeit the general outline be the same, the filling of the picture is never twice alike. Last night he adopted $ new costume, more grotesque even than the wedding costume of the Don in days of yore. The wig—the inimitable flaxen wig. with its numerous curls, and its lofty top knot, still surmounted the head of the Don, but the nether-men was clothed in inexpressiblea of the largest and most staring plaid pattern ever manufactured—the waistcoat was white, and the coat a bright blue with metal buttons, made with a side pocket, cut of which peeped , white handkerchief, after the most approved fashion of the genus Gent. All the artistes were called for at the conclusion of the performance. Then followed the Pas de la Courronne, with Marie Taglioni; and then the last act of Mercadantts' opera 11 Giuramento, in whieh Moriani and Parodi showed how much acting and sing ing can do, when guided by good taste and cultivation. The music is by alercadante, we need say no more ; but Moriani and Parodi, by their magnificent acting and singing, produced the most sublime effects. Never had the pathetic tenderness of Moriani, or the terrible energy of Parodi, been seen to greater advantage. The per formances concluded with that most tasteful and elegant of ballets, La Prima Ballerina.

CHRIST CHURCH", SURREY.—Yesterday morning & very croe dtd meeting of the rate•payers of Christ Church, Blacktriat s-road, was held in the vestry attached to the parish church, for the purpose of making a church-rate for the necessary repairs and cleansing the church, &c. The chair was taken at ten o'clock by Mr. Churchwarden Freeman, who having briefly explained the objects of, and read the notice convening the meet ing, the various items in the notice were discussed with some warmth by a great number of the rate-payers, who at length proposed a resolution that a rate of one penny in the pound be made. This was set aside on one of the rate-payers proposing " That the rate should not exeeed one halfpenny in the pound." After an animated de bate, ii was proposed by Mr. Evans, seconded by Apsley Pellatt, Esq., and carried, " That as the trustees under the will of the late John Marshall have at their disposal funds amply sufficient for all the really neces sary purposes for carrying on Divine worship in this church, it is moved that the rate now demanded is unjust and uncalled for, and therefore it is not granted." The announcement of the rate being lost drew forth loud applause from the opposition party, whereupon a poll was demanded by the churchwardens, which was gr.nted. BIRTHS.
