Notice is hereby given. that a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of SHAREHOLDERS of the ANGLO MEXICAN MINT COMPANY will be held at this Office on WEDNESDAY, the 4th January next, to take into consideration the expediency of RAISING ADDITIONAL CAPITAL for the Purposes of the Company. The Chair will be taken at Two o'Clock precisely. G. B. LONSDALE, Secretary. and Mr. Lovett was appointed Secretary. It was then discovered that the late Secretary had carriql away all the documents of the Conference, with the exception of the minutes of proceedings. -A deput* tion was instantly sent to him; and the answer re- turned was considered satisfactory. The Chartist Conference then determined to resolve into " a Committee of the whole house," to consider the Charier with a view to its amendment ; so as to render it a perfect Bill for presentation to Parliament. Mr. F. O'Connor announced that every amendment adopted would be submitted to "the people," and would receive final sanction or rejection at another Conference to be convened for that purpose. - It being resolved to read " the People's Charter," clause by clause, a great many alterations were pro posed in the very beginning of it, namely—the pre amble, which was, however, ultimately allowed to remain without receiving any material amendment'. One of the most startling propositions that could be made in a meeting composed of the triumphant party, which had beaten Sturge's band out of the field, was that the preamble of the Bill of-the SturgeiteB should be substituted in the "People's Charter" in place of the present preamble of that document. Nevertheless such a proposition- was made, but it was, of course, coldly received, although the proposer did not hesitate laud the superior lucidity and simplicity of the preamble of the Sturgeite Bill. After some further conversation, the Conference adjourned at two o'clock till the evenin Mr. STURGE expressed his acknowledgments for this favour, repeating that he thought he should best serve their ,cause by withdrawing, in company with his friends, from the Conference. The Rev. Mr. SPENCER added, the thanks of such a meeting would be a great encouragement to the Com plete Suffrage Union. The meeting then broke up, at eight o'clock in the evening. The Chartist party then determined to meet again to-morrow to proceed with the business of the Con ference while the St urge p ar t y l e ft th e h a ll t o arrange their plans in another room. _ [We copied from the Herald an account of the proceedings which .took place at the opening of the Conference, and regret that some impertinent re marks which were made in that paper escaped our notice till after publication. We did not suspect that a reporter for a respectable journal like the Herald, whose duty it is to report both sides fairly, would have deviated from the usual practice, and therefore paid less attention to the introductory and offensive comments.)

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY NlGllT.—Cooper, the Leicester Chartist, opened the adjourned debate this afternoon at three o'clock, by stating that he should sup port the amendment of his young Scottish friend Robert Summers, one of the four motions before the Confer ence, and which was to place the People's Charter and the Bill of the Council on the table of the Conference, and consider the provisions of each simultaneously. He did this, because of the amendment proposed that, in his opinion, was preferable; and if beaten upon it, they could fall back upon the amendment proposed;by their friend Mr. Lovett. The Rev. Dr. WADE said he should regret the con sequences of victory on R , ither side, because he was afraid, that be vvhichevii-way it might, the result would be divisions. Now, if .aIL uaiddle.class- Were like" theli friend Mr. Joseph Sturge—if he was their true representative—he should have no objection to take the Bill proposed by the Complete Suffrage Council. But Mr. Sturge was not a sample of the middle classes, and, therefore, h e was f or t h e ent i re Charter.—(Loud cheers.) If any concession was to be made, seeing that the middle classes were the aggressors, they ought to make that concession. The argument of the Sturgeites was, that the designation of Chartists would ruin their cause ; in answer to which, he would only reply, that the Sturgeites, if designated by any particular term to-day, would to morrow contrive another loop-hole out of which to escape, and adopt another designation. Mr. J. DIXON, of Northwich, supported Summers' amendment, and said, he was sick and tired of the proceedings, and was afraid he should have a very bad account to give to his constituents. At this period there was a very general call for a division, and it was with extreme difficulty that the Chairman could obtain a hearing for any of the dozen speakers who presented themsel ves t o t h e C onference. Mr. O'Conno r 's interference alone restored order. Mr. Vickers, of Belper ; Ar c hib a ld M' Donnell, of Aberdeen ; bez Vines, of Reading, and others, then addressed the meeting. The latter named speaker said—lf the Chartists wished the Charter to pass into law, they would unite in the complete suf frage movement. The question was, how could th e y best influenc e th e e l ec t ora l b o d y of the kingdom ? and he was of opinion that supporting the Bill of Rights, as it was termed by the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union, would most effectually accomplish that object. Mr. PARRY said, the question was, " which is the best way of operating upon the minds of the middle classes of society?" They had been told that the members of the Complete Suffrage Union had adopted the principles of the Charter—then why not agitate in its support ? The fact was, that the support of a man who agreed with the points of the Charter, and would not agitate in their favour, merely because of the name of Charter, was not worth having.—(Loud cheers.) He concluded a long_ and ener ge ti c speec h by regretting that the members of the Suffrage Council had not come out from amongst their own class and given their support to that measure—the People's Charter—which was the only one which would ever give satisfaction to the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. L. HEYWORTH, of Liverpool, as a supporter of the National Complete Suffrage Union, said, the fact was the present contest was for " who shall be your leaders.' The party and leaders with which he (Mr. Heyworth) had associated himself, would not lead them on to slaughter and bloodshed.—(Groans.) Mr. Honsos.—Let the gentleman go on. He is a fair representative of his own particular class. Mr. HEYWORTII.—Yes; and you and others may congratulate yourselves that there are such represen tatives. Mr. BEASELEY (of Blackburn), in very strong lan guage, denounced the Sturgeites. Mr. JONES (of Liverpool) declared that Mr. Hey worth's professions of philanthropy and benevolence were nothing but rank hypocrisy, which declaration only served to increase the uproar of the meeting. Mr. Jones proceeded to say that he had little confi dence in the political honesty of any class of men. Ile believed that the working men would not have turned Chartists, had it not been for the heavy bur dens which pressed on them; nor did an of the mid dle classes talk of " comp l ete suffrage,' until they began to fear the results of failing trade and impeded commerce. He gave his support to Mr. Lovett's amendment. Mr. LOVETT said, he had been so anxious for union, that he proposed to the leading members of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union, that their Bill and the " People's Charter" should be laid on the table together, and that clauses from each should be alternately read, and decided on by the meeting, so that a perfect Bill might be prepared for presentation to Parliament.—(Hear.) He thought this course would tend to conciliation, but the leaders of the Coun cil rejected his proposition.—(flear.) Mr. BEGGs, of Nottingham, the mover of the ori ginal resolution, was called on to reply. He said that he and Mr. O'Connor had fought side by side at Not tingham, and he was sorry they should differ now. lie thought he could not withdraw the original reso lutions without being a party to a vote of want of confidence in the Council. The Conference then proceeded to a division on the several motions, Mr. STURGE observing, that he should record his vote in favour of the original resolutions of Mr. Beggs. The motion of Robert Summers and the Rev. P. Brewster were negatived by show of hands. Mr. Lovett's motion (in favour of the Charter) and Mr. Beggs' motion (in favour of the Bill of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Conference) were then put to the meeting, and the names of the members of the Conference being called over, it was found that 193 were in favour of Mr. Lovett's motion, and 94 in fa vour of Mr. Beggs' motion ; 73 of the delegates were absent, and 14 remained neutral. Mr. Lovett's mo tion was accordingly declared to be carried by a ma jority of 99—the Sturgeites being completely beaten. Mr. J. STURGE, as Chairman of the Conference, had now the unenviable task to go through of an nouncing the result of the division. Having dis charged this function, he took occasion to characterise the People's Charter as an excellent document, and said he had no hesitation in stating, that those who had drawn it up were deserving of the highest praise, being persuaded that whatever errors there might be in the details of the measure, the authors of its prin ciples had had the honest intention of securing equal justice to all parties. Yet, after the vote of that night, he thought he could best serve the views of the majority by not continuing any longer in the chair. He trusted that they would consider themselves not enemies to each other, but as working on the same road; but he and his friends felt they should best serve the cause by now leaving that room and consi dering their own "Bill" in another pl ace. , Mr. F. O'CoNNoR—Am I to understand that we are not all to meet together, in future, in conference ? Mr. STURGE said he spoke for himself and he be lieved he expressed the feelings of those who voted for the Bill of the Council ; but of course he dictated to no person. With respect to that Bill, he had no doubt that when seen, after it had undergone conside ration,suspicion that thy wished ittowoduo ld anythingeverye todamage " the People s Charter." THURSDAY EVENING. This morning the St urge it e sec ti on o f the National Suffrage Conference assembled at 'Wilkins's Tempe rance Coffeehouse, in Moore -street. Mr. Sturge oc cupied the Chair, and amongst his principal supporters were the Rev. Thomas Spencer, the -Rev. P. Brew ster, Dr. Ritchie, a n d th e pr i nc i pa l spea k ers o f t h e " moderate" Chartist (or Suffrage) party, who distin guished themselves at the combined meeting at the Mechanics' Institution. The proceedings throughout were certainly more subdued and orderly than the assemblages of ,the " Conference" on the two pre vious days. Mr. GARDINER (of Manchester), in a short speech moved, and Mr. MYAL (of London), seconded a re -solution, to the elTdct that the majority, who - on the previous night had refused to adopt the Bill (brought forward by the Council of the Complete Suffrage 'Union) as the basis of discussion, should be excluded from the Conference. By this resolution it was intended that the Sturgeite minority, notwithstanding their defeat and retirement last night, should still be considered the only real Suffrage Conference. Dr. RITCIIIE regretted the terms in which the sepa ration was expressed in the resolution. He did not deny that the separation between the Complete Suf frage party and the Chartists was inevitable ; but still he hoped that they would not place themselves in a wrong position. He did not see bow the minority could exactly be termed the Conference, and he did not like the idea of excluding the majority from their deliberations. The Rev. T. SWAN concurred with Dr. Ritchie, and expressed his deep regret on account of the sepa ration which had taken place. A discussion of some length occurred, in the course of which Mr. Myal and others contended that the present meeting was " the Conference," and that the Chartists assembled at the Mechanics' Institution had, by refusing to make the Bill proposed by the Council the basis of discussion, excluded themselves from the Complete Suffrage Union. Several of the Delegates, on the other hand, maintained, that a minority of the Delegates returned could not be considered as con stituting the Conference, and that they could only be looked upon as seceders. They thought it would be bad in principle, and a bad precedent,-if they laid it down that a minority (the majority being 2 to 1) constituted " the Conference." A DELEGATE observed, that " the Conference" had now been assembled for two days, and had really done no business whatever,—(Loud cries of " Hear.") They were, however, he admitted, no longer a Con ference--only now a meeting in favour of Complete Suffrage ; and in the words of Mr. Sturge last night could only now, under the unfortunate circumstances in which they were placed, make the best of the pre sent movement. Mr. VINES, of Reading, contended, that they (the present meeting) were the " real Conference.' The majority had refused to entertain the Bill for the dis cussion of which the Conference was convened. By so doing, he maintained they had excluded them selves from " the Conference."—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman and the Members of the Council here retired, in consequence, it was stated, of some communication from the Chartist " Conference " at the Mechanics' Institution, Newhall-street. The de bate was pursued in their absence. On the return of the Chairman and Council Mr. STURGE expressed a hope that the meeting would extend their patience for a few minutes, as he thought, from what had occurred in another room, that such an alteration could be made in the original resolution under discussion as would in all probability meet the views of all parties. He might, perhaps, be allowed to say, that so anxious were the parties by whom " the Bill" was drawn up not to offend the Chartists, that the person by whom the draught was so ably drawn carefully read over every clause of the Charter pari passe with the Bill, and wherever an improvement could be made from that document he adopted it. After some delay, The Rev. T. SPENCER moved " That i the Bill' brought forward by the Suffrage Council, and laid upon the table, be now discussed." This motion, upon being seconded by Mr. Anstey, was carried unanimously. Mr. VINCENT moved, that "The document, called The People's Charter' be laid upon the table, and considered in connection with the Bill prepared by the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union.' Mr. J. COLLINS seconded the motion. Dr. RITCHIE said, it was perfectly competent for any man to propose amendments to the provisions contained in the Bill, and they might take them from any source they pleased ; but he objected to recog nising the Charter.—(Hear, hear.) It was here stated that the Members of " the Coun cil" who had previously retired, were now prepared to submit a resolation and an amendment to the meeting, with the view of settling the future conduct of the Complete Suffrage party with regard to the majority of the delegates then assembled in the Me chanics' Institution. It had, however, been arranged that there was to be no " speechification," and it was hoped that the " f r i en d s " assembled would come to a vote without oftering any observation. Mr. GARDINER then moved, and Mr. MYAL conded, the following resolution :—" That a portion of the Delegates sent to this Conference having re fused to make the Bill prepared by the Council the basis of discussion, the Conference having been ex pressly convened for the purpose of preparing such a Bill, feel themselves bound to declare that such Dele gates are no longer a part of the Conference, except those of them who shall hereafter comply with .the course of business prescribed by the Council according to the terms of the Convention."

SALISBURY, DEC. 28.—The adjourned inquiry as to the death of Samuel Bruton, was resumed this day at eleven o'clock. The first witness called was Louisa Adams, who was not heard last night in consequence of some sus picion that she was then labouring under the influence of liquor. Louisa Adams examined—l lodge at Mrs. Mus pratt's, who resides in the same yard as that in which the prisoner Greek lived. About half-past eleven o'clock on Monday evening I was standing at the en trance of our passage, when the deceased went to wards prisoner's house He wished me a good night, and said he hoped that I had had a happy Christmas. Shortly after he returned, and told me that he was going over to the Globe public-house to get half a pint of beer. The CORONER—This does not exactly correspond with what you said last night. Is this correct ? Witness—Yes, it is, Sir. Deceased was quite sober. He did not remain in doors above a quarter of an hour before he returned. I saw him come out of the Globe and go in doors. About an hour and a half afterwards the prisoner Greek came to Mrs. Muspratt's, and she gave him a light. After this he came a second time for a light. During this time I was standing on the threshold of Mrs. Muspratt's door. I a l so h ear d d eceased cry " Murder." lam sure it was his voice, as prisoner was drunk, and the deceased was sober. lie cried out " Murder " more than once, and I heard prisoner say to the deceased, " Come down stairs, you b—; you shall not remai n u p th ere ;" to which the deceased replied, " For God's sake, Dick, don't murder me quite." I then heard a man fall down stairs ; during the whole of this time I was standing on the threshold of Mrs. Muspratt's door. The reason I stood there was, I had no shoes nor stockings on, and there were no other persons up in the yard that I could call. I heard prisoner call out to a neighbour who lives next door. He said to him, " Short! Short ! come and help me pull the b-- down stairs." This occurred be fore I heard deceased say, " For God's sake, Dick, don't kill me quite." The CORONER—I really cannot understand you; if you do not, tell the history of this affair more correctly I must use other means. Witness—l did not hear Short make any reply to this. After he had said "Don't murder me quite," I heard deceased call out " Murder" several times. Prisoner then said something, but I cannot tell what it was he said. The CORONER, addressing the Jury—l do not know gentlemen, whether you can understand this witness ; I do not. Witness—lt was after he got him down stairs that he cried " Murder." The CORONER (to witness)—You have told the two clergymen of the parish a different account from this; mind, you must not make any reservation. Did you not tell them that you went down to prisoner's house? Witness—l said I was following Greek (the prisoner) down till he said I should not go with him. By a Juror—l was quite sober myself that evening. The CORONER--I hope you were not sober last night when your statement was being taken down, as it so widely differs from this. Eliza Short, the wife of John Short, tailor, exa mined.—My husband and I live next door to the pri soner. I saw deceased between 6 and 7 o'clock on Monday evening; he came to Mrs. Muspratt's for the key while I was there. lle appeared to be quite sober. I did not see the prisoner at all that night. Some time in the night I was awoke by a noise, and I heard some one call out, " Short, give me a light." At this time my husband was not awake, and I made no answer. I then heard him (Greek, the prisoner) say, " Come and help me drag the down stairs." I cannot say whether it was the same voice which I heard before, but I believe it to be. I then heard a rumpus on the stairs, as though he was dragging him down. Deceased occupied a small bedroom just at top of the stairs. I have frequently heard the pri soner say when he came home drunk that he would go and pull the deceased down stairs. John Short examined—The last witness is my wife. I went into prisoner's house a little before seven o'clock on Tuesday morning. I saw the deceased lying at the bottom of the stairs. Prisoner was then standing up in the middle of the kitchen, and I said to him, 4 - Dick, I hope you have not done this your self," and he replied—" Mr. Short, I have not touched him." I then said to him—" I am afraid you have, Dick," and he then answered—" My child, I have not." He appeared to be very much uncon cerned about it. Before this conversation, I observed some human filth on the deceased's thigh and hands, and as the stench was so bad, I was obliged to leave the room for a little while to get air, and a short time after I returned, and then the prisoner was wiping the filth from deceased's clothes. I observed the necker chief which deceased wore ; it was, I believe, an old black silk one, and it was strained tightly as if a cord had been put through it. I:could not put my finger between it and his neck ; the neckerchief was not ori ginally tied tightly; my impression is that he was caught hold of so (the witness showing the manner), and by this ineans dragged down stairs. Anybody could see it was done thus. The filth most certainly was made on him after he was down stairs. (Here a great sensation of disgust and horror ran through the audience.) I made no observation to prisoner about the filth. Mr. Lush, surgeon, examined.—l visited the de ceased and found that he had been dead some hours. Under the circumstances, and from the result of the post mortem examination, I could not trace any other cause of death but that of suffocation. Police-constable Frampton was next examined, and corroborated other witnesses as to the position of de ceased, &c., and said that his waistcoat was torn into pieces. Prisoner said to him that when he came home he called out to deceased to know if he was upstairs, that he might lock the door, when deceased made use of very bad language to him, and said if he came upstairs he would serve him out, and thinking Short did not come in to help him he should be mur dered, he called him to help him, but he did not do it himself. Witness added, it was thought by every one present that morning that the prisoner killed thO man, and which might have made him say so. Dr. IV. Finch was next examined, who assisted Mr. Lush in making the post mortem examination, but this gentleman was of opinion that the deceased died from natural causes. The Rev. Mr. ROBINSON moved, and Mr. MITCHELL seconded, the following amendment That having been called together to determine on the essential de tails of an Act of Parliament necessary for securing the just representation of the whole adult male popu lation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ; such act to embrace principles and details of Complete Suffrage, Equal Electoral Districts, Vote by Ballot, no Property Qualification, Payment of Mem bers, and Annual Parliaments, as adopted by the first Complete Suffrage Conference, held at Birmingham, April sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth, 1842, and such Act of Parliament having been prepared by the Council which called the Convention ; and the majority of the persons present having refused to receive it as the basis of discussion—viz., to proceed with the busi ness for which we were summoned; we who voted in favour of taking the Bill provided as the basis of dis cussion do not proceed to the business we have been assembled to transact; that all delegates willing to comply with the-course of business prescribed by the terms of the Convention he considered as Members of that body." Mr. MORGAN, the secretary, said the only question was whether they (the present meeting) would by the original resolution declare themselves to be "the Conference," or whether, as proposed in the amend ment, they would say nothing at all about it. The amendment was carried by a considerable ma jority. question now was, classes, and he howT h t e h e ll y e c v 0 . u A l f d r . b eSsPtEsNecrlE,eathsaeidthe workin g thought, with Mr. Sturge, that they could best effect that object now by the independent movement of the Complete Suffrage Association. ne wished them success in their endeavours to alleviate their condition ; but as it was impossible for the Bill prepared by the Council of the Complete Suffrage - Union to be dis cussed clause by clause in that assembly, divided, as it now was, he called upon the minority of 93 to with draw, and to meet in the rooms of th e C omp l ete Suff rage Union, while the Majority mi g h t cont i nue t o meet in the present hall to consider th e Charter. He denied that the last Conference had pledged itself to take the Charter into consideration. He knew that there was a suspicion that the movement of the Com plete Suffrage Union had a free -trade object in view, but this was equally unfounded. He conferred with those who desired reforms, both in trade and in the Church, but he thought no reform could be effected until they reformed the representation.—(Cheers.) Mr. LOVETT said, that if the Complete Suffrage Union was charged with using their influence for free trade purposes, he felt bound to say, that he was the first to induce the Council to introduce that subject into their address. He therefore took all the blame of that step on himself. He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to Mr, Starr, for his conduct in the Chair., The Rev. T. SPENCER next moved the resolutions contained in the programme of the proceedings, and which, upon Mr. Lovett's amendment in the General Suffrage and Chartist Conference, were rejected. These were carried unanimously. Mr. VINCENT then renewed his motion with regard to the Charter being " laid on the table" for the pur pose of its being discussed in connexion with " the Bill." To obviate Dr. Ritchie's objection, he would add to the words " the Charter," "and all documents which may be required." This resolution was then carried. Mr. Lush was recalled and confirmed his former statements. The prisoner, who is an old man, and of a very for bidding countenance, was then brought up to hear the evidence read over, and the summing up. He looked ghastly pale, but seemed perfectly collected ; he stood quietly, and made no observation till the witness Adams was re-examined, and then he said that her statement was not true. "An Act to Amend the Representation of Scot land," and also Major Cartwright's plan of Parlia mentary Reform were, upon motions by members, also ordered to lie on the table. After which the house adjourned until four o'clock. " The People's Bill" goes into committee at five o'clock this evening. The Bill is duly printed, contains 99 clauses, and occupies 64 page 3. Its provisions go almost the whole length of the Charter, the name of which the authors are, however, very anxious to avoid. The Chartist Delegates met together this morning at the Mechanics' Institution, which the Sturgeites had given up to them, and vo t e d M r . Patrick O'Hig gins into the chair. `ln a short time a letter was received from the late Secretary, Mr, W. Morgan, tendering his resignation, I The Learned CORONER then most ably addressed the Jury, after which the Court was c l eared, and at half-past four o'clock they returned a verdict of " Wil ful murder" against Richard Greek, and, conse quently, the Coroner issued his warrant for his com mittal to take his trial at the next Lent Assizes. 1 ' The Marchioness of Lansdowne, on Saturday last, regaled the children educated in the school maintained by her Ladyship at Bowood, for the young children of the cottagers.

FARMER'S CLUB -HOUSE IN LONDON.—A meeting of the Provisional Committee, formed for the purposo of considering the propriety of establishing a Farmers' Club-house in London, was held, pursuant ; to notiee, on Thursday last. About 16 members of the Commit tee attended. There were also several gentlemen pre sent who took an interest in the subject, but .Who were not members of the Committee. The chair was taken by J. Hudson, Esq„ Castleacre, Norfolk. The object of the meeting having been stated, a lengthened discus- sion took place in reference to the amount of entrance fee and annual subscription, and also as to the locality in which a Club-house should be situated, so as to meet the convenience of farmers visiting the metroplis, and much useful information upon the subject was elicited. There was not the slightest difference of opinion on the advantages of establishing a farmer's club-house. Some of the members were desirous of having a high entrance fee, with a view to form a fund for erecting a building at some future period ; 'but 'the more general feeling appeared to be that both the entrance fee and the subscription should. be kept as low as possible. Resolutions were agreed upon, and the Committee broke up. On Friday morning another meeting was held, and two resolutions were passed : first—" That it was highly desirable that a club-house should be established, the members to pay an entrance fee and an annual subscription and, secondly—" That the provisional Committee be requested to give their best attention to the subject, to prepare a prospectus, and adopt such means as they may deem best calculated to ensure the success of the object." It is stated that the Committee will go ac tively to work without delay, and that it will not be long before the prospectuses are issued.— rOrk Courant.

' MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF Tiils DAY. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—Some inquiry seems to be desired into the circumstances under which the Americans have pressed, and the Mexican Government have assented, to the payment of 3,000,000 dolls. as an indemnity to American subjects for losses sustained - during the various revolutions which have occurred in Mexico. A correspondent from Bath states as his belief, the these claims have been swelled enormously in amount by expedients of the most disreputable kind, and fur ther, that he was informed by an American who held one of them, that the amount of A mer i can property so taken did not exceed 300,000 dolls,, or 1-10th of the sum actually wrung from Mexico. This is a very grave accusation, and on the face of it barely credible, at all events as to the participation of the. American Government in any such fraudulent exaction. As the documents which relate to these claims will of course be laid before the Congress of the United States, any judgment upon the matter must until then be suspended. The highest price of white wheat of the first qua- lity in Paris is 3211 50e. per 11 hectolitre, which is equivalent to 495. Bd. per quarter, and the highest quotation of white wheat of the first . quality in the London market being 58s. per quarter, it follows that wheat is MI per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The price of flour 'of the first quality in Paris is 55f. per 159 kilogrammes, which is equivalent to 345. 6d. per 2801 b. English, and the price of the finest flour in London being quoted at 45-s. per sack of 28016, it follows that flour is 301 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The price of bread of the first quality in Paris is 29 cents. per kilogramme, which is equal to nearly sd. per 41b. English weight; . and the charge of the full-priced bakers in London being 7d. per 41b. loaf, it follows that bread is fully 50 per cent. de a r er i n London than in Paris. If the price in -London is taken at 7d., which is charged by some bakers, the difference is still,4o per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. SUN .—ln faqir of ,he warehousing system in - America, which would be a great boon to these enraged in the trade, we find the example of England freely adduced on the other side of the Atlantic, while it is said that as connected with the tariff it will be de servedly among the first measures which Will engage the attention of 'Congress at the approachibil session, having been brought to the notic e o f that yin the message of the President :—" The advantages reaped from this system in England," says one, ".have been so many and s o o b v i ous , t h at i t i s a matter of eurprise the merchants of America should have solong remained without such an arrangement. The system was first introduced at the port of London alone, by the Act of 1803, on th e most i mportant art i cles of West Indtis produce, which were admitted to be warehoused with out the payment of duty. The power thus imparted was at first acted upon with the greatest citation. The construction and situation of the warehouses in the different ports of the kingdom were such, that it was considered inconsistent with the interests of the revenue to grant them the same privileges that were extended to the London Docks. The advantages had also not become sufficiently obvious for the merchants to make any efforts for obtaining an extension of the privilege. In process of time the merchants, per ceiving the great benefit t o be derived from it have exerted themselves from time to time." The follow• ing is a list of the ports now enjoying the privilege, with the dates of their obtaining it : London Liverpool . 12 other ports lBoslStockton 5 .• . . .. . . 1806; Shoreham 3 .. Colchester . . lBOBl 3 other ports in.... 1821 2 ports in 1822 ... .4. ..... 1823 Poole.. 5 ports in Ireland 182 4 1, 8 ports in Ireland... 1825 What would the commerce of England now be, if cash duties were enforced, and no bonding were allowed ? The English market lost none of the buoyancy which characterised it in the earlier part of the clay, and to the abundance of money, which on sttock is at tainable at to 2 per cent, may be in part attributed the firmness both of the funded and unfunded debts, the latter, in addition, being said to be rather scarce to-day. Reduced Annuities were again taken by the Government broker. Consols for the opening were done at 93-1- to 94; Exchequer Bills touched 595. and 60s. premium ; India Bonds 50s. to 525. premium. The Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced were steady at 101 i to 1011. The Canada Guaranteed Debentures improved to 14 premium. • The Foreign market was rather brisk this after noon, and for the new account there appeared to be some disposition to advance the quotations. The Spanish Account is said to be bearish. The Five per Cent.

Belgian Bonds realised 101 - ; Russian 1131 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52 to 53, being firmer. Some disposition was manifested to effect sales in Railway Shares, and this caused them to have a. less firm appearance.
