ANOVELTY. —There has lately been registered an article that cannot fail to find a place in every Gentle man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged want therein. The said novelty consists in a body garment some what in the form of a dress-coat— that is to say, it can be worn without any distinct Infringement of the laws of cos tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ; but yet the garment is more especially intended far morning wear, as a aiding or Walking Coat ; and as, far such exercises, each will maintain his own idea as to the requisite ease necessary for its fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of their patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, that a selection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or the wearer's own taste—thus at once obviating any annoyance arising from the cutter not immedlatelely comprehending what is wanted. Although composed of the NICOLLIAN CLOTH, yet a most moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL , 4 MORNIA G COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty, and which ears be had in London only of H.

From foreign ports there are only moderate quantities of wheat and Egypti an beans ; but rather large of Indian corn and jour. The ex ports in the same time amount to 1,052 quarters of wheat, 7,104 quarters of Indian corn, 1,240 barrels o, corn meal, 329 sacks and 3.032 barrels of flour. The trade hay been rather firmer for wheat, and several parcels of good useful red have been taken to hold over, at the extreme prices of that day. Flour was likewise fully as dear, without any particular improvement in the demand. Oats and oatmeal were in very slow request, and prices barely sustained. The transactions in barley, beans, and peas continue on a very small scale, and without any change in the currency. Indian corn is in fair reqaest, and 6d per quarter dearer. At this day's market there was a fair attend ance of dealers, but in consequence of the discouraging reports from Mark-lane and the continued fine weather, they conducted their purchases with great caution. Wheat met a limited re tail sale only, at a decline generally of Id, and in some in stances, 2d per 701 b on prices of this day week. Flour was extremely difficult of sale ; Western Canal was in vain offered at 25, 6d per barrel, and Irish was quite neglected. Oats were id per 451 b lower, and a slow sale; as was oatmeal, without any change in value. There was no change in the value of barley, but Indian corn and Egyptian beans were each 6d per quarter cheaper. Peas quite out of request, arid the value nominal.

The rule nisi which had been obtained was argued at length by Mr. Ballantine. Mr. Petersdorff, with whom was Mr. Duncombe, appeared to show cause against the order being made absolute for the issuing of the certiorari. The Learned Counsel having concluded their arguments, his Lordship said, under all the circumstances be was of opinion that there was no ground for the removal, and that the writ ought not to issue. He should therefore discharge the applica tion. Order nisi discharged accordingly.

LIBERATED CONSCIRINCBS.—FEREDOM OF CON SCIENCE AND THoueurr,—The medical theory of James Morison, the Hygeist, was not only the greatest triumph in medical science, but further established the liberty of thought and conscience throughout the world on all subjects. It was, in short, the force of truth bursting the strongholds of error and prejudice. James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aber deen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great affluence and respectability, and the subject of this brief sketch was the second brother of John Morison, late Member for Banffshire. In early life he studied at the Uni versity of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being intended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his studies, he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and subsequently in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was obliged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seek ing from change of climate a restoration to health. About the year 1814 he settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in great respectability. He died at his residence in Paris on the 3d of May, 1810, aged seventy, and was buried in the family vault at Kensal-green. We cannot do better than transcribe the fol lowing interesting particulars given by himself in the " Mori soniana," republished by his sons and successors :—" A thirty five years' inexpressible'suffering, both of body and mind, is an event, too, which fall s but to the lot of few , if any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of this world eight y ears ago, I should have died as another man, and been forgotten, and the world could have reaped no benefit from my case and misfortunes, n or f rom t h e favourable effects produced by the same means on my children. This is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a convinemg proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that health and old age are within the reach of us all.'

The Continued prosperity of the Society hits enabled the Directors at the Annual Meeting, held on the 10th of May, 1448, to declare a sixth bonus, ♦arying from 27 to 65 per cont. on the Premiums paid on each Policy effected•ou the profit scale. EXAMPLES. DEFERRED ANNUITIES. By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred ♦nnuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby en individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, er weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, er a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any tine, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will bo returned to his representatives. The following Table le a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicleas application of a small laying ciut secure through this Society. I.

Yes ; when I look at thee and my arrears, I find that I am over head and ears. But never mind, I'll manage to defray, The debt which hitherto I've failed to pay : In other words, my muse's ready purse Shall liquidate the debt by means of verse. Illustrious gate ! thou long bast had to stand, The boundary-mark of Fleet-street and the Strand ; Nor can I think that ever thy removal Will meet with the majority's approval. The statues of Elizabeth and James Will still remind us of their royal names ; While in thy western niches we shall view Thy Charleses number one and number two. I often think, famed bar, while gazing at you, And mutely conning each Illustrious statue, What different articles of dress were made When either of those noted monarchs swayed. MOSES AND SON'S ATTIRE Was quite unknown, When Charles, or Bess, or James enjoyed the throne. No stylish samples of improvement's march Then passed beneath thy famed elliptic arch.

Had but a tongue, and reason to compare, 'Twould tell us frankly—bearing out my view, That ladies never dressed as now they do.

Notwithstanding the supply of English Wheat on offer in to-day's market was trifling—ths total arrival since Saturday not having exceeded 730 quarters—the demand for that grain was in a very depressed state, at almost nominal currencies. A clearance of the few samples on the stands was not effected. A very large quantity of foreign Wheat—upwards of 27,000 quarters—has come to hand this week. The millers, therefore, purchased with extreme caution, and, to force sales, lower rates must. have been submitted to by the importers. The best Malting Barley was held at Monday's quotations. Grinding and distilling sorts were dull in the extreme. Malt was a dull sale, and the turn in favour of the buyers. In Oats next to nothing was doing, at the late decline in value. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour, had a downward tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. 1 Barley. I Oats.

The Harlequin, 12, Commander Beauchamp Seymour, bad left Gibraltar for Madeira, to return to Lisbon, there to remain until further orders. The Stromboli 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. W. Beauclerk, had left Gibraltar with dispatches for Portsmouth, and may be hourly expected. The Rifleman, screw-schooner, Lieut. Commander Crofton, had also left Gibraltar for Portsmouth, but has not yet arrived at the latter port. THE ARM Y. We have a mournful satisfaction in giving insertion to the following extract of a letter from an old brother officer of the late gallant Colonel Brookes, of the 24th Regiment, who in a few sentences pays a most honour able tribute to the character of his departed friend:— " I cannot express to you my feelings upon; hearing the news of the death of my highly-esteemed and valued friend, and when I think of his unfortunate widow I am doubly grieved. The serious loss experienced by the 24th is dreadful. He was always desirous of going to India to see ' some glorious service,' as he called it. A thorough soldier he was, and a thorough gentleman in the performance of his duties. lam oeufident he headed his regiment in gallant style, and be has fallen as he always at heart desired." All officers upon leave at home will be directed to re join their regiments at once; but no orders had been issued yesterday for any regiments to prepare for em barkation to India. We can hardly believe, however, that the services of additional troops in that quarter will not be required in the present state of affairs. The first five regiments for service are the 26th, 41st, 49th, 75th, and with. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of W ellington had an interview with Lord John Russell yesterday.

MALLETT, FOR 251 1-SIDE.— These Borough lads settled their bantam contest yes terday, at Woking-common, twenty-one miles from the metropolis. The men are well-known to all ring-goers as two good specimens of Bst. 71b. boxers, Welsh by his defeats of many fistic aspirants, his only defeat being by the celebrated Massey, while Mallett has distinguished himself by defeating Larkins, Robinson, and a few out siders. The issue of the contest was scarcely over in doubt. Welsh's superior skill in the use of bis digits enabling him to take the lead, and sot at nought the de termined rushes of his opponent. In the latter part of the contest, Mallett, every chance being out, became shifty, but in vain, and at the end of about two hours, Welsh was hailed the victor, with very few marks of his having been engaged ,in so protracted an engagement. The betting was 6 and 7 to 4 on Welsh, which increased to 2 to 1, 5 to 1, and any odds you pleased, as the aff a ir progressed. MANCHESTER TRADE REEORT.—During the past week there has not been so great an amount of business transacted as for some time previous. There has been a general disposition on the part of buyers to hold their orders as much as possible, expecting that in a little time prices would give way to some extent. This feeling, together with the disastrous news from India and the unpropitious aspect of foreign affairs generally, consi derably influenced the market yesterday. Though it canot be said that any actual reduction was submitted to, yet there was evidently an easier feeling in the market, and but little business was transacted. There is con siderable excitement at present in Macclesfield, occa sioned by a dispute between the masters and the opera tives as to wages; a general strike has been spoken of, but has not yet taken place. CENTRAL AMERICAN MAILS.—The Lords of the Admiralty have sanctioned an alteration in the contract of the Royal West India Mail Steam-Packet Company, by allowing the Honduras and Central American mails to be conveyed direct from Honduras to Jamaica, instead of being. conveyed to the latter place by way of Havannah. This will be a great convenience to the company as well as to the mercantile world, inasmuch as the transship. ments of cochineal and other valuable merchandise will not be so numerous as at present. The new arrange ment will commence during the ensuing summer, as soon as the vessel which is now building for the com pany expressly to run between Belize and Port Royal is completed. _ _ SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—By the barque Roman Em peror, which left Adelaide, South Australia, on the ath of December, and arrived at Madras on the 22d of the same month, we learn that sheep farmers of South Aus tralia were much distressed, having drawn bills at high rates against wool shipped, which fetched much lower prices than they anticipated. Copper ore had also fallen in price, owing to the arrival of news of the depression e in the home market s; thi s , t oget h er w i t h the stra`u the miners, had caused a fall in the value ofßurra Burra shares from 230/. to 1401. per share.

One of the number died in September last, and another a few days since. It is rumoured that the discovery of the traud arose in consequence of some disclosures made by the latter on his death-bed. There can be no doubt that the system has gone on for several years —we believe since 1845—undetected, in consequence of all the per sons by whom it should have been checked being com promised and interested in its continuance. The amount of money involved is vatiously stated at from 20,0001, to 30,0001." Sir Robert Peel's school at Tamworth was opened on Thursday last, and in order that parents may have the opportunity of testing the system, tickets of gra tuitous admission for boys not on the foundation have been issued. Mr. Moreton, an American printer, died lately in Paris. He has bequeathed 40,0001. to be given a s a premium to anyb o d y w h o s h a ll succeed in constructing a machine capabl e o f s t r iki e g o ff 10,000 copies of a news paper within au hour. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWEL CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti. mated at from 2,000 to 3,000 bales, and consist of about 2,000 American at 3id. to 6d., 4,000 Surats at 3ed, s o 4d., 40 Sea Islands at Sid to 11d. The market closed heavily, and prices were something lower for all kinds, except Surats, Egyptian, and Sea Islands, which remain firm.—Railway Shares were quiet. The following is a report upon the state of the metal trade in England, as drawn up by Mr. William " Early in the month a large business was done in Welsh Bar Iron at 54 101. per ton, free on board, in Wales, and the price then advanced to it per ton, at which there has been a moderate amount of business. Makers and dealers are now firm at 61. to Ilk 51.. per ton. Staffordshire Iron has been advanced AtiPA'SOIN The demand for hoops and sheets is consider Scotch Pig I ron at Gl asgow a large b us i ness Jinn been done. About the middle of the month 'ha price_ of mixed Nos., ordinary brands, reached 538., E but within the last few days, chiefly in consequence of numerous Prompts falling due, it has declined to 525. per ton, at which several parcels have been sold. The American Mail is anxiously looked for, in the expecta tion of orders from the United States which may ma terially affect the market. Foreign Iron is without alteration. English Copper was, on the 13th inst., advanced id. per lb. on Sheathing, and 41. 10s. per ton on Cake and Tile, at which rates the article continued in much request ; and on the 2d inst. another advance of sam e amount was declared by the copper houses. English Tin has been in good demand, and has betn advanced Si. per ton." The American advice. seem to afford satisfaction p . . nerally, and th ere i s an appearance of a brisk trade with Europe during the spring, accompanied by a fair share of general prosperity. In Quebec a petition had been drawn op by the in habitants, upon the subject of the railway to Halifax - , and the following is a copy : " Humbly showeth— " That your petitioners have never ceased to view, with the most lively and profound interest the project of a railroad to; connect the city of Quebec with Halifax, regarding it as of the greatest importance not only to this city and district and to this province, but also to the neighbouring provinces, and as an undertaking of na tional concern. " That the very able and clear report of the commissioners appointed by her Majesty's Government, to surrey the proposed trunk line of railway, appears to establish its practicability beyond the reach of doubts and that your petitioners consider it to be their duty, and that of all the inhabitants of the North American provinces, to give their aid to this magnificent under taking, by all the means and influence in their power. " That your petitioners feel that they can hardly esti mate too highly the important advantages which, as is clearly and powerfully shown in the Commissioners' report, this undertaking h2lds out to the mother-country and to Canada, by encouraging and facilitating a continued flow of emigration to this pro vince—by the increased commercial advantages it will afford—by greatly facilitating the military defence.pf the province in time of war—and by thus ensuring t 6 us the continuance of the powerful protection of the mother-country, and strengthening and confirming in every way our connexion. " Wherefore, your petitioners pray that your Honour able House will take into your grave and favourable consideration this great project, on which depends, as your petitioners believe, the preservation of these pro vinces as British colonies." The English Stock Market is again rather dull, and with scarcely any change in prices. The state of the speculative account will now be the chief thing looked to as regulating time-dealings from this period to the 13th inst., and probably as Railway Shares are temporarily rather neglected, there would be investments in s to c k were foreign politics less uncertain. There is an idea also that the account is " Bullish," and certainly the large buying transactions for time up to the date of the last settlement, and since, in the face of , a very fair supply of money stock, would seem to justify the impression. There is, nevertheless, too much difficulty in ascertaining how the operators get in and out, to allow of a confident opinion at pre sent. Consols have been 91} for Transfer, and Account being now 91} f. There is very little doing for present Transfer, and the price is even rather firmer than for Account. Exchequer-bills have improved to 445. and 455. premium, and India Bonds to 535. and 665. premium. Bank Stock is worth 193 to 195. In the Foreign Market the dealings have been confined to a few of the Securities. Mexican have touched 26j to 21} ; Peruvian 50 to 51 ; and Brazilian, New, 82k. Buenos Ayres have been 27; Austrian Stock has been done at 72 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Ceuta. have been 49 to 4. The Railway Share Market is very quiet, and there is no change of any moment in the quotations. On the whole these are firm, and in one or two instances, the York and Berwick, for example, rather better. ONE ritier.B OF BRITIBII FIJNDS. O'CLOCX. Bank Stock 19 4 14 193 155 3 per Cent.

THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ST. PAUL'S. This was an action in replevin, and came before the jury on a writ of inquiry. The rev. defendant had pleaded to the action, but on demurrer the plea was overruled, and judgment was entered as for want of plea. The writ was not read, but it was stated that the plaintiff is .a timber merchant, and that the property was origi nally granted by Henry VIII. to Sir Francis Walsing barn, Knt. The SECONDARY said the jury had nothing to do with any other question than the amount of damage sus tained, and that had been estimated by a witness at 3GI. for goods illegally distrained and sold. The jury gave a verdict for 304 A gentleman in Liverpool has contrived a plan for opening and shutting gates by means of a spring, which can be acted upon by the pressure of a horse's foot, or the wheel of a carriage. RAMSGATE, MARCH 6.-55 hides, 23 casks of nails, 44 casks of glass, 6 casks of madder, 1 cask of gum, 3 cases contents unknown, have been landed here this day from the wreck of the Floridan. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH) DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING. Petitions against the Ministerial projeet continue to pour in from all parts of the kingdom. Amongst the most remarkable is one from the Grand Jury of the county of Roscommon, a district of all others likely to be most benefited by the imposition of the rate in aid. The petitioners say, "We deny the equity of charging any electoral division for the deficiency of others, or of levying a rate in aid such as that proposed. We submit that such a measure would take away all inducement to industry by destroying confidence, but we respectfully suggest that the support of the aged, the infirm, and such as are incapacitated from labour should be provided for by a national tax on all descriptions of property and income; that responsi bility for the support of the able-bodied should be con• fined to the estate on which they may reside, as it is but consistent with justice that in times of difficulty each property should aid those who in more prosperous times are the producers of the rents of that estate, but we nevertheless further suggest that when the burden of such support would exceed a fair extent of responsibility that a national tax should afford its aid, and that no re lief should be given to the able-bodied, except in ex change for labour." THE GRAIN TRADE.—We had generally a dull market at our Corn Exchange to-day, but we note no alteration in our quotations of Friday. There was rather more inquiry for Indian corn. STATE OF TRADE. 111atscuEs - rxn, MARCH 6.—Under the combinod influence of a decline of about l A 3 d. per pound in the lower Ame rican cottons, and of the startling tidings from the Pun jaub, aided by certain unsatisfectory appearances in Conti nental relations, the busines of ; the day has been restricted to a comparatively small amount both in yarns and goods. As regards the prices of goods, it may be stated that, for the most part, they remain steady, though this is hardly the case in some Indian descriptions, particulary 64 .reed alirtings. In yarns, quotations of this day week remain unchanged, and are generally maintained with firmness. Spinners have declined taking orders even for those counts of water twists of which there are the greatest accumulations, rather than make slight concession in price. ROCHDALE, MARCH s.—There has been a falling off. in the demand for flannels to-day, and less business doing, arising, principally, from the manufacturers asking higher prices, as they are obliged to give higher rates for wool. There has been an extremely dull wool market, and the operations have been limited at last week's prices. HUDDERSFIELD, 111ancli 6.--Every description of goods adapted for the season has met with ready sale in the Cloth Hall. The :business has been principally for the home trade. In light fancy goods, not much has been doing, although, from the variety of new patterns, and the various textures of cloth exhibited to-day iu the shops, we may hope for a good spring trade. :!21Iatintx, AlArtcx 3.—The demand for worsted goods is scarcely so aAive as it was, and prices remain, as to most descriptions, much as they were. In some cases, higher rates are realised. Yarns continue in good request, chiefly for export, and the spinners are generally able to obtain rates corresponding with the enhanced cost of the raw material. The wool market is rather quiet, but prices are very firm. LnEits, MAricir 0.—.N0 very remarkable change has taken place in our cloth market since last week. Although there was not quite as much business done at our :halls to. day as we had to report some weeks back, yet prices keep steady. From the whole we may safely say, that our cloth market continues satisfactory, and promises to do so for some time to come. NAVAL IN TELLIGENC PROMOTIONS. Lieutenant to the rank of Commander—Edward Her rick (1815), First Lieutenant of the flagship Victory, and who, like that ship, served under Nelson at Tra falgar, and subsequently distinguished himself in other actions. Lieutenant Baldwin A. Wake (1837), late first of the Albion, 90, to the rank of Commander. Lieutenant Thomas A. B. Spratt (1641), also to the rank of Commander. APPOINTMENTS. Master's Assistants—G. A. F. Wilson, to the Athol troop-ship at Woolwich; Charles Guy, to the Janus steam gun-vessel for Gibraltar. The Rodney, 92, Captain Edward Collier, C.R., is dismantled, and will be put out of commission at Ports mouth to-morrow. The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, was towed to Spit head yesterday morning, and saluted the Port-Admiral. She will remain at that anchorage until the retirement of the Court from the Isle of Wight, after which she will proceed to Cork to relieve the Ganges, 84, Captain Smith, which ship is to refit and proceed to re-inforce the Mediterranean squadron. The Sappho, 16, Commander Michell, was towed from Portsmouth harbour to Spithead yesterday morning, whence she is under orders to sail to-morrow for Ber muda with a mail. The Dauntless, 22 guns, steam frigate (screw), 560-horse power, was hauled into dock, at Portsmouth, on Monday, to be fitted as an ad vanced ship. The Janus steam-vessel, Lieutenant Powell, will sail in a day or two for Gibraltar. If appearances may be trusted, very little improvement has been effected in the Janus, even by giving her better engines than the rotary ones of Lord Dundonald. Her progress appears of the snail species, and unless she improves by use, or has some further alteration made, she is not likely, even under favourable circumstances, to reach Gibraltar under three weeks' passage. Her tender is ready for her, so far as such a thing can be made ready. It is difficult to say to what purpose she can be applied. However, they are well matched. The Phosnix steam-schooner will be taken out of Portsmouth harbour this morniag by the officer of the steam-factory department, to try a new screw of less pitch than the present one, at the measured waters in Anglesea Reach.
