The Dublin Yation contains a currious article, in which the writer declares his deliberate conviction that there exist reason. of a reliable character for beli, ving that Mr John Sadleir has not committed suicide, but has simply leeti playing the trick, so well known both in hi.tory anal romance. of a pretended death and a suppo giti.us corpse. The follqwing may he cited as the grounds on which the writer bases his scepticism as to John Sadleir's suicide : 1. While the dates of the letters written by Mr. Sad leir to his friends Chow that he meditated suicide a full week before he is tipposerl to have effected it, he was -tti%ing all that week to net in money from every source, aid did receive large sums—some on the day of his death—not a farthirg of which has been traced or ac counted for. At the very brink of the grave, it is urged, when money ought naturally to ceasa to be valuable in his ryes, he was as intent as ever on acquiring if. 2. In P-ris and Po- hi:pique's " Medical Jurispru• deuce " it is laid down as a general rule that the more sudden the death the longer is cadaverous stiffness from taking place ; and it is further stated, as to causes of sudden death, "If a body in such cases be cold and stiff we may be certain that more than 12 hours have elapsed since the fatal event." The evidence at the in quest showed that in any case Mr. Sadleir could not have reached Hampstead before 12 o'clock, at the ear liest, and might not have reached it before half past 1, at the latest ; and, supposing him to have really com mitted suicide, that event would have taken place at the earliest at half-past 12 o'clock, and at the latest—say, 2 o'clock At a quarter before 9in the morning Police man S 323 found the body at Hampstead "quite cold and stiff." Mr. Nichol), surgeon, gave similar evidence. 3. Doubtful identification of deceased—John Sadleir's body was removed, says the article, to the Hampstead workhouse, without having been examined by any com petent person. I•s sworn identification before the jury was, extraordinary to relate, not by any of the relatives, though they were in town, but by a person named El wyn, who had been in Sadleir's employment but 18 months. The body was not identified by him by marks • • peculiarities of structure. One passage in the evidence of Mr. Norris, the solicitor, showed, moreover, of what extremely little value was Elwyn's evidence in this par ticular ; for while the latter states that "he had not ob served any change in his master during the last month or two," and that his master's " manner on Saturday was the same as usual." the jury are, on the contrary, _ informed by Mr. Norris that Mr. Sadleir " latterly ap peared haggard," and that "he noticed an extraordinary change in his appearance during the last week," and especially on Saturday, &c. As to the identification of the body, it may, in addi tion, be not undeserving of remark that the reports in the public press speak of a change in the features of the deceased, and of his looking older than be really was. 4. In the work of Dr. Taylor, the toxicologist, which Sadleir, it is stated, had been perusing on the day of his death, is the discussion of a question as to whether dark hair can be artificially changed to light, and his account of sundry washes of recent invention which effectual) , produce the result. Most important, it is remarked, in connexion with this fact, is the evidence of Elwyn, who deposed to the jury—" Mr. Sadleir had previous'y that evening asked him to clean two bottles, and place them on the sideboard, which he did. He (witness) did not know that it was poison he h.d to get at Mr. Maitland's. He thought it, was some.ingredient in a bairwash which his master was going to mix in the two bottles which had been placed on the sideboard." A man who had just po.ted letters etatingbis intention to commit suicide, who had sent out for poison, who was racked with the burden of frauds, forgeries, tottering banks and railways, was engaged as a prelude to his extraordinary end, in pre• paring a bairwash. 5. The place where the body was found.—Why should Sadleir, intending to make away with himself by poison instantaneous in its effects, trudge out to Hampstead heath, in the middle of the night, for the purpose, first putting into his pocket a piece of paper to tell his name ? A very intelligible purpose is suggested by the following head of inquiry, extracted from a long list of such from the second volume of "Paris and Fonblanque's Medical Jurisprudence" : " Whether the spot in question he of a description to explain the cause of the deceased having been found there, or bow far its retired situation excites the suspi cion that the body bad been conveyed for concealment or some other purpose." The article concludes with a remark upon the exces sive ease with which a body for the nonce could be pro cured -among the 2i millions oftlie populatitrid of Lon• don. LONDON, WED_NESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1856. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(Yr. TERDAY). The LORD CetaNcsrzon t)ok his seat on the wool. sack at five o'clock. Lord MONTEAGLE moved for a copy of the ba lanco sheet of public expenditure and receipts for the la,t year, up to the 31st of March last.—Agreed to. E trl ST. GERMANS gave notice Vito, in conse quence of the day originally fixed for the second reading of the bill to legalise the marrying with a deceased wife's - sister not being convenient for the attendance of several right rev. prelates, he should postonne the se cond reading of the bill till Thursday, the 17th. it." (Hear.) The lion: gentlemen then referred to the manner in which, the Treasury aivanced the salaries of thesd - judges, pas4ing over eicellent !nen, who.felt it a slur on their character. It was not the difference of pay these gentlemen valued, but their reputation, and he (11r. Roebuck) charged the Under Secretary of the Treasury, who did the dirty work of the Government, with passing over Mr. Falkner, an estimable and rearmed gen t'emari, 'from political reasons. There was another case of the workiug of this act. The county court clerks were usually appointed Liy the judges, but Mr. Morris, who was clerk of the county courts in,Glamorganshire, and a political agent in that district, vrishing to retire, ob tained-the appointment of his successor from the trea sury, awl when afterwards it was—proposed to divide the districts, the clerk objected, saying he had pur chased his appointment of Mr. Morris. (Hear, hear.) ,• He-asked for an explanation of this. (Hear; hear.) If they demanded the service of men of high reputation they ought to pay them well ; but he was met with the remark. " Oh, we can get plenty of men well up to the mark for less money." Yes, but by the same rule he (Mr. Roebuck) could say that he could g'et plenty of men in that himie up to the Mark and capable of discharging the duties of the hon. member- for Westbury quite as well as.he did for. half the amount he was paid. (Hear, and "laeghter.) - The Rani() 'objection was raised by the Lord Chancellor to the increase of these' s•laries, and his (Mr. .Rotsbuck's) argument applied equally the Lord Chancellor, that plenty of legal gentlemen could he found capable- of discharging his duties for less money. (Laughter.) He contended that the maximum sum given to these judges was not too much for all of them to be paid—(hear)—to place them above' the anxieties and meannesses of the world, to enable them to hold that position in society they ought to hold. (Hear) Lord STANLEY seconded the motkm and in doing .so en t red fully to the history eititaatttiAliaisseent-ufr the - County" Comisland ti;e4P - PriintnierA."ot thi ledges; and referred to the number of cases each of them heard annually, and the number of miles they had to travel, which gave but a slight idea of the anvinnt of labour .they had to perform. He contended that there was a great constitutional principle involved in having the salaries of these judges fixed by Parliament., and not de peedeot upon the caprice of the Trea.tiry. Holding that opinion, and holding also that 1,5001. was not too large a salary for the duties involved in it, he cordiall) s eroded the nswion. Sir G. GREY deeply regretted the personal attacks which had been made with so much bitterness upon Mr. Wilson by Mr. Roebuck. Leaving his h.in. friend to answer these attacks, which he had no doubt of his abi lity to do, he rose to explain what course the Govern ment had taken on the suhjemt. He had always been in favour of a uniform salary, and when the courts were first instituted, he fixed a uniform salary of 1,0001. Af-. t rwards, when the right hon. gentlemen opposite were in office, the present system was adopted by Parliament. Owing to the great comp'aints which had lately, and very naturally, been made by the judges, the subject had been fully considered by the Government, and they had determined, in the bill now before the House of Lords, that the salaries of the judges should be fixed ; that, saving existing interests, those salaries should in every case be reduced to 1.2001. a-year. At the same time, as this bill would come to this house for discus. sion, when the question of salaries could be considered with greater advantage than at present, he hoped the house would not pledge itself now to the higher salary of 1,500/. He concluded by rr•ving the previous question. _ _ Mr. MORRIS defended the conduct of his namesake, who had been attacked by Mr. Roebuck. Mr. WILSON remarked that although the whole of Mr. Roebuck's speech had assumed much of the com plexion of a personal grievance, that learned gentleman had given him no intimation of the course of argument he intended to pursue. Nevertheless, he was prepared to give so clear and simple an explanation that Mr. Roe buck would find that he bad " taken nothing " by his motion. Mr. Wilson then proceeded to explain that at the time the selection particularly referred to by Mr. R 'ebuck was made, all the county court judges preferred their claims to the maximum salary of 1,5001. The re presentations so made were most anxiously con: dered by Mr. Gladstone and himself, and they took the beet advice which could be obtained as to the principle 111)''11 which the additional salary should be conferred. The principle fixed upon was the amount of work which de volve' upon the respective ju lges In the selections ma le there could be no favouritism, inasmuch as the names of the persons were not appended to their repre sentations ; and with the exception of one name—that ef a gentleman whose claims stood out paramount—he (Mr. Wilson) knew nothing of who the respective claim ants were. The whole matter was arranged through the instrumentAlity of numbers. Mr. Wilson also re ferred to sub , equent transactions, and claimed also as regarde I them complete exemption from the charge of favouritism or partiality. Sir J. PAKINGTON recommended Mr. Roebuck, after what had fallen from Sir George Grey, not to press vew - e a t ,uul 43,1 Mr. MAL11 , ..:;..:...., re ed teat' motion should te" withdrawn, at the sane time he hoped the uniform salary would uitimat ly be fixed at 1,5001. a year. Mr. GLADSTONE hoped the question would not he deemed as foreclosed by statements which had fallen from Mr. Matins and other members. He hoped the question of sa.'aiy, and the reconstruction of the duties of the county court judge-i, would he held as " open questions." Mr. Gladstone repudiated the imputations thrown out against the Treasury by Mr. Roebuck. He chetisbed the hope that that learned gentleman would withdriw his charges aleainst Mr. Wilsen, Mr. DISRAELI held that Mr. Wilson bad satisfac torily answered the charge brought against him by Mr. Roebuck. He also urged the house not to pledge itself now to 1,5001. or any other sum as the sa'ary for the county court Sedges. The great question to which the house must shortly address itself was the reduction of the public expeuditure in all its branches ; and, there• fore, he hoped they would not pledge themselves now to give Hell salaries. Mr. ROEBUCK. then withdrew his motion. POOR-LAW REMOVAL BILL. Mr. BOUVERIE moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law for removal of pot r persons chargeable in England who have been in other parts of the Queen's dominions. At present, he stated that Irish arid Scotch paupers wet° sent from his country to certain ports, wheie they were shovelled out, and no further care was taken of them. In place of this, he proposed that the same precautions should be taken with Irish and Scotch paupers as were now taken with English paupers previous to removal, and that when re moved they should be taken direct to the workhouse where they were chargeable. Mr. \VILLIA.MS said it was impossible to obtain information from the Irish paupers as to what parish they were chargeable. . After some conversation, in which Mr. Vincent Scully, Sir W. Jolliffe, Mr. Floyer, and Mr. Baines took part, the bill was ordered to be brought in. REFORM OF THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. Sir G. GREY, in moving for leave to bring in a bill for the better regulation of the City of London, hoped it would be hardly necessary for him to say that her Majesty's Go vernment approached the subject with no unfriendly feel ings towards that great body which would be affected by the provisions of the bill he sought leave to introduce. On the contrary, they fel: that that body, from its antiquity, its connection with the metropolis of this great country, its historical associations, and the great services it had ren dered at various periois to the cause of civil and religious liberty, was entitled to respect and consideration. The ob ject of this measure, and he trusted its effect, would be in nowise to diminish the importance or to lessen the dignity of the corporation of London ; but he hoped, by remov ing the defects which might exist in its constitution, or in the administration of its affairs, and by bring ing it more in harmony with' the spirit of recent legis lation with respect to municipal institutions, to in crease its usefulness, to strengthen its influence and efficiency, and to render it better able to fulfil all those great objects for which it was originally designed. In deal ing with this question, Parliament had the advantage of two elaborate and careful inquiries. One vr ts that con ducted by the commissioners appointed in 1835 to inquire into the municipal institutions of the country, and which in 1837 made a distinct and separate report on the City of London. The other was that conducted by the commission ers appointed in 1853, for the express purpose of inquiring into the existing state of the corporation ; and the bill which he should move for leave to introduce was mainly foundel upon the recommendation of that commission. The commissioners in 1853 were his right hon. friends the present Secretary of State for the Colonies and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, together with a very distinguished and learned gentleman who for many years occupied a seat on the judicial bench with equal credit to himself and ad vantage to the public interests, but who had retired from that situation in consequence of aphysical infirmity, retain ing, however, in the fullest degree all his high mental and intellectual powers. That gentleman, at the request of the Government, had afforded the public the assistance of his great learning and knowledge as a member of the commis sion—he referred to Sir John Patteson. (Cheers.) It was right to state that the commissioners had placed ou record at the beginning of their report their testimony to the readiness which had been evinced by all the authorities of the City to give them the fullest information in their power, and to facilitate the inquiries with which they had been entrusted :—" We think it right," said the commis sioners, " to state that we found the utmost readiness in all quarter to assist us in the execution of your Majesty's com mission, by the communication of facts and suggestions. This readiness was manifested not only by independent witnesses who were unconnected with the corporation, but also by the governing members of the corporation, and by its officers, all of whom willingly came forward to describe their several duties, and to state the facts respectively falling under their cognisance." He (.;ir. G. Grey) believed that the authorities of the City would be ready to entertain the bill which he should have the honour to introduce in the same spirit as that in which they . had met the inquiry Placed - in the hands of the commissioners. He did not dresuine to anticipate that they would give their reads acquiescence to all theproposals contained in this bill, but he believed they would meet them fairly, dispassionately and with an earnest desire to remedy any defects which might exist in the constitution of the corporation, and to render-it more effieient for the purposes for which it was designed. (Cheers.) The commissioners added at the end of the report, " Vire desire to state that altholgh Ve Wive I found much which in our judgment calls for amendment, I jet we have discovered nothing which can affect iejuri ouely the.honour and integrity of the officers to whom the afftirs of this great corporation have been confided." The commissioners in 1853 referred in the first instance to the • report of the commission in 1837, for a description of the actual constitution of the governing body in the City of. L indon. The commiesion recommended that no legisla tive measures should be adopted by Parliament, for they - sail that a remedy for ninny of the defects that existed mightebe applied by the Common Council itself. In the last report a reference was made to various acts which had be en passed since the date of the previous eeport, and also ,to various changes which had been made by the Common Council. in order to carry into effect several improve mental but the commissioners stated that no substantial or systematic reform had been made since 1837. With re gard to the recommendations they offered, the commis sioners state I they had taken the landing provisions of the Corporations Act as their guide, making, of course, due allowance for those circumstances which distinguished London from every other municipal corporation. They stated that the objects of the Municipal Reform Act were two—first, to reform the constitution of the existing mu nicipal bo lies, and secondly, to enlarge their boundaries. The commissioners gave at great length, and with much clearness, their reasons for not recommending that the corporations should be extended, to the whole - metropolis., following thus out the provisions of the Municipal Reform Act ; but it would not be necessary to quote that; portion of their report, inasmuch as Parliament had already ex ian:see its opinion on the subject by passing the Metropolis Local Management Act of last year. With regard to the constitution of the corporation it was right to notice an important distinction between that of the City of London and of every other corporation. The commissioners of 1835 stated in their first report that—" The meet common and twist striking defect in the constitution of the munici pal c, rie rations of England and Wales, is that the corpo rate bodies exist independently of the communities among which they are found. The corporations leek upon them selves, and are considered by the inhabitants, as separate hai s,4 4- 401- Powl** -11 1$ 1 4rtsufsge4. within the towns and cities from which they ate named, but iu most places all identity of interest between the cor porations and the inhabitants has diseppeared." The coin missieners of 1853 went on to say—" From the defect de scribed in this passage the Corporation of London has for many years been exempt. The manner in which the Com mon Council is elected has produced to a great extent an identity of interests between the governing municipal body and the existing municipal community, and has se cured to the latter a council representing their general opi nions and feelings." (Hear, hear.) The right hon. hart. then stated, from the report of the commissioners of 1837, what was the existing constitution of the City corporation, the number of aldermen, common councillors, &c., with the powers of the three courts. The bill which he should ask leave to lay on the table was founded mainly, though not exclusively, on the reconetnendations of the COlMlDS sioners. Its general scope was—first, to reform the con stitution of the City corporation and its jurisdiction ; secondly, to abolish certain customs now in force which were injurious to trade and commerce, and which had been abolished in other corporations; and thirdly, to divest the corporate body of anomalous powers, some of which in the opinion of the commissioners should cease altogether, and some of which should be transferred. The main governing body would remain as it now was— namely, composed of the mayor, aldermen, and common councillors, the lord mayor and aldermen being members of the latter body; but the number and constitution of the several parts it was proposed materially to alter. In the first instance, the commissioners recommended that the number of wards, at present 26, should be reduced to 16 ; and this would be proposed by the bill. It also proposed to render these wards wore nearly equal in area and popu lation. It was proposed that one alderman and five com mon councillors should be elected by each of the. 16 wards --making the total number 96, instead of 232. He believed that 64 was the largest number of any council eleete I under the Municipal Corporations Act; and the co_umi s oners had expressed a very decided opinion that the existing number in the City of London was too large, and ought to ke materially reduced. An important change was pro posed as to the aldermen. At present they ware elected ferlife ; it was proposed that they should he elected for six years only, one-half of them going out at the end of each three years. He proposed that the common councilmen should be elected annually, their qualification to be the same as in other municipal corporations, namely, the pos session of real or personal estate worth I,OOOL, or an annual rating of 80/., the existing qualification of freedom of the City, now required, being dispensed with. A material alteration would also be proposed in the constituency by which the common council was elected. The voter at pre sent must not only occupy a tenement in the ward rated at 101., but he must also be a freeman of the City, and on the Parliamentary register of the City, which made it ne cessary that he should reside within 7 miles. The commis sioners observed that this condition of re=idence was un fitted to the peculiar an 1 special circumstances of the City, and they proposed to dispense with it. The bill also pro posed that no condition of residence should he attached to the qualification of the voter in these ward elections, and that the condition of freedom of the City should also be dispensed with, which had the effect of narrowing the constituency without improvin g its , character. The franchise proposed agreed with th it proposed on the part of the City itself not long age, and brought before Parliament in the form of a hill, but which was opposed by the livery companies and rejected. The commissioeers proposed that the common council with re duced numbers, and with the constituency lie had stated, .fficersof- the corporation. e was also ance with the scheme of the Municipal Corporations Act, as applicable to other corporatjons. The commissioners re cernine.udetl, and the bill proposed, that the lord mayor, sheriffs, recorder, and other officers now elected in the court of common ball or the Court of Aldermen should be elected by the Common Council ; and it was further pro• ' posed that the choice of lord mayor should no longer be restricted, as it was at present, to aldermen who had passed the office of sheriff, or even to aldermen at ell, or to members of the Common Council, but that every person eligible to he elected common councilman should also be eligible to be elected lord mayor.- (Hoar.) The commis elopers thought that opportunity would thus he afforded for electing persons of commercial eminence and influence. It was proposed that the qualification of sheriff should be altered, and should be the same as the qualification for com mon councillor. The commissioners further recommended material alterations in the election of auditors. At present there were four ; they were elected by the common council, and held office for two years. The bill proposed that three auditors should be annually elected from persons qualified to be Common councillors, by persons qualified to vote for common councillors; but no common councilman was to be elected au auditor. Provision was also wade for auditing the accounts twice a year, and for their transmission to the Secretary of State. It was also proposed to extend the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act, with regard to the charging or alienation of property, to the City of London. As to the court of Aldermen, it was proposed by the commissioners, and the bill carried that recommen dation into effect, that the court of Aldermen, as distipct froM a magisterial court, should be abolished, and its powers transferred altogether to the common council. With regard to the cow is of the City the bill w , old sub stantially carry into effect the recommendations of the coin missiorers. The Court of Hustings, they said, was prac tically obsolete, and could be made available for no good purpose. That court would be abolished. The Lord Mayor's Coutt and the Sheriffs' Court would be consoli dated into ono court. The appeal to the Court of St. Mar tin-le-Grand m ould be abolished • that court was seldom called into existence, and this could only be done by appli ca'ion to the Court of Chancery. Its jurisdiction would be tree sferred to the courts at I'Ve:trninster ; the appeal would in fact be the same as that from the county courts. The bill further provided, iu accordance with the recommen dations of the commissioners, that the Recorder should be tho solo Judge of the Lord Mayor's Court, instead of sitting as the Lord Mayor's asses•mr. With regard to the Central Criminal Court, the Lord Mryor and aldermen would cease to form an essential part of that court. He now approached a most important subject, one on which the Lill was founded mainly on the recomrnenda tions of the recent commissioners. They proposed that the principle established by the Municipal Reform Act—that notwithstanding any custom or byelaw to the contrary, any person might keep a shop for the sale of wares and mer chandise, should be extended to the City of London. In this recommendation the Common Council had themselves expressed their concurrence. Therefore the bill proposed to abolish all exclusive rights of trading—all tights of pro hibiting persons, not freemen, from carryingcin business in the City. Other rights were proposed to be abolished, as re commended by the commissioners. First., was the right of metage of grain, fruit, wares, and merchandise brought in to the City of London. These - rights ,were exercised by usage, conferred by a charter of James I. This metage was not confined to articles landed within the limits of the City, but extended to all goods landed on both sides of the River, from Staines, in Middlesex. -to Yantlett Creek. This right of the City had been disputed, and a suit had beeen instituted ; but it never came to an actual deci sion, something, in the nature of a compromise having taken place. The bill proposed in addition to abolish the monopoly of the porterage of coals and other articles exor cised by fellowship portrs ; also all street tolls on carts not belonging to freemen. (Hear.) Here again the City had been beforehand with Parliament in wishing to abolish th ea right, the Common Council having recommended its abolition. It was further proposed to repeal the enactment requiring brokers to be admitted, and to pay certain fees to the corporation ; also the restriction on the grant by the Crown of any market within seven milesof the City. These were all the rights which it was proposed to abolish which interfered with trade ; and looking at the spirit of recent legislation, looking at other municipal corporations--at the great advantage which, must be derived by all persons trading in the City of London from the abolition of these rights—looking at the spirit evinced by the City itself not to insist upon these rights, but to abandon such of them as were felt to be onerous—he anticipated the ready acqui escence of Parliament in the measure be proposed. Certain rights which existed as between the City of London and the borough of Seuthwark would also be regulated, as re commended by the commissioners. There was one matter of great importance connected with the dues levied by the City, which no doubt presented considerable difficulty, the duty on coals. (Hear, h ea r.) There were three of these duties—one at 4d. a ton, which would continue at that rate till 1862, and then revert to 4d. a chaldron, in which form it was a permanent duty, having been granted in ex change for some claim which the corporation aband on That duty was very heavily charged ; for the City, collecting these duties, had appropriated them mainly to metropolitan improvements, not confined to the limits of the City, bat extending over the area of them etropolis they had shown no disposition to make an improper use of the duties levied by them on coals. But the result was that this ed. duty was now charged for the C a nnon-street im provement to the extent of 580,0001., besides compensations sad allowances to coal . neeters of 70, 0001- The second was an Bd. duty, the 'net proceeds of which in 1852, were about 113,0001. ; and this sum, with an an annual payment, of 115,0007., constituted the fund denominated the London Bridge Approaches Fund. The duty was not a permanent ruff ; it would expire in 1862 ; and it was calculated that before that time the charges now existing upon it would he paid off by the proceeds of that duty. There remained the penny duty, making in all 13d• .pet The net proceedsof the penny duty in 1852 were' 14,0001., all of which was payable to metroptAitari improvements. This duty would alp intro 1861, coptdoxiag those [ PRI OE 4D. STAMPED SD. duties, one material fact was to be borne in mind : they were not levied merely on. coal brought into the City of London, but on an area very far beyond it, over a dis trict extending 20 miles from the General Post Office —a district larger than that jof the metropolitan police, of the Registrar-General, or of the , Postmaster-;General, and whose inhabitants derived no direct henefit what. ever from the tax. The commissioners recommended that these duties should be taken altogether from the City of London, and placed in the hands of the Metro politan Boatel of Works, to be by them applied to same general purposes as the City had, applied . them to, subject, however, to the existing charges upon thetie. In dealing with this subject, Government had come to the conclusienthat the transfer from the corporation to another body would leave untouched the great grievanceof the im position of this tax upon persons who derived no direct benefit whatever from it. It should oleo be remembered that in sanctioning the appointment of the. Metropolitan Board of Works, Parliament had given that board the power of raising rates for the purpose of execufing works within the metropolis. What the Government proposed was this —to allow the 8,1. and the rate to expire, as they would do iu 1832, when the charges upon them would-b e p a id o ff; and with regard to the 4d. duty, to levy it only for a suffi cient time to pay off the charge of 580,0901., and the ether small sums, and then allow it also to expire. (Hear.) He would next advert to the conservancy of the Thames. The conservancy of the river was now placed in the hands of the corporation, from the bridge at Staines to the junction of the Thames with the Medway. It was proposed by the bill, in accordance with the recommenda tion of the commissioners, to place the conservaucy of the river in a board consisting of the First Lord of the Admi ralty, the President of the Board of Trade, one of the Commissioners of Woods, and the Deputy-Master of the Trinity House; with power to employ persons under them who would be competent to superintend the conservancy of the river. No net,revenue was derived by the corpora. tion from the rights of conservancy which they exercised. A. question was at issue between the City the Crown with regard to rights long ‘• ti.var s r but threeteorpore rights were .wliolfy ant right of conservancy. The suit was approaching a ter mination ; and it was not proposed by the bill to touch those rights. If the City succeeded in the suit it would be left in possession of those rights and that property, just as if this bill had not passed. All that was proposed to be transferred in the conservancy of the river was those tolls and dues which were not collected by the City as a source of revenue to themselves, but for the pur pose of meeting the expenditure of the conservancy itself. The bill further proposed to abolish the exclusive rights of the Company of Watermen from Staines to Yantlett Creek, which prohibited persons not duly qualitied from plying for hire on the river. He would next advert to the police. Here the Government had determined not to act upon the recommendations of the commissioners—not from any doubt as to the eenerel expediency of those recommenda tions or the correctness of the authority upon which they were founded, but from considerations which he would shortly state. The commissioners recommended that the City police should be incorporated with the metropolitan police, on she ground of efficiency and economy. If there was no police in the City at that moment, no doubt it would be right for Parliament to adopt that recommenda tion, and not to except some portion of the metropolitan district from a general management which was applic able to the whole district. There was no doubt an anomaly in a smell district having a separate control over its police ; but the _anomaly applied rather to the existence of a municipal corporation in that limited area than to what might be considered as the almost necessary consequence of the existence of such a corporation—the possession of those powers with regard to a police force which it was proposed to leave in the hands of the City of London. (dear.) If this were a new claim on the part of the City there would be no ground for it ; but by an act passed in 1839 a very efficient body of police was estab lished by authority of Parliament, under the control of the City, and under the direction of a very able commis sioner ; and though he did not say that no inconveniences had arisen from the existence of the City police as distinct from the metropolitan police, he would say that there had been none of a serious character. There had been harmony and co-operation between the City and the metropolitan police—between the Government and the authorities of the City of London ; there had been a readiness at all times on the part of the City authorities to listen to suggest,ione as to the employment of the police ; and whenever it had been thought necessary to strengthen their cumbers in the City by addiii . g reinforcements from the metropolitan police that had beau readily acquiesced in by the City authorities. Admitting, therefore, iu theory, that it w could be batter to have the police under ono control—still, as they left, within those narrow limits, a cirpozation of great dig nity and importance, and of very large powers, it would require a ,trong case of practical inconvenience—stronger than any that had yet arisen—to induce them to have the corporation of the City of London in a position in which no corporation was left---yamely, without any police whatever. The bill, therefore, did not propose any alteration in the City police; it would be left in the position in which it now stand, but this would be no precedent for granting the con trol of their own police in other districts within the metro polis. The greatest inconvenience would arise from break ing up the police into small bodies under different autho rities. The position of those districts was cc totally dif ferent from that of the City of London, which had exercised its powers most efficiently, that the ono formed no precedent whatever for the claim of the other--a claim which the Government could not for a moment enteitain. There, was one other point on which the recommendations t).. 3 jeetion to their acting as magistrates during the whole perio 1 of their tenure of office ; and, generally speaking, their duties had been extiemely well and efficiently per formed. But when their term of office was reduced trom life t- a short period of years ' awl they were made eligible, as was proposed by the bill, for re-election, there was a great obj action to allowing the office of magistrate to be in necessary connection with such a tenure of office as elder man. In no instance was it recognised, save in a very ex ceptional one of the mayor of a corporation, who was a magistrate during his year of office and the I.llowing year. The commissioners of did not, contemplate the reten tion by the aldermen of inagteteriel du ties for they pro posed that the City should be empowered to apply, as other corporations had power to do, for the appointment of sti pendiary magistrates to exercise that jurisdiction. If this was lone, and one or more police magistrates were ap pointed, it was an tteipated that aldermen would retire from the discharge of police duties,' and confine themselves to what might he called civic duties. But it was not quite safe to leave the question in that position. The City of London might not think it right to apply for police magis trates ; or if they did, and such magistrates were ap poieted, the aldermen might not be inclined to retire from the exercise of their functions. After full consideration, therefore, be proposed that the aldermen of the City of London should be magistrates only for the discharge of civic business ; and that the City should be throwa into the metropolitan police districts, fur the purposes of pelice magistrates, though not of police—(hear, hear)—that a new district should be created, consisting of the City, or that the City should be divided amongst the contiguous districts, so that the criminal jurisdiction should be exer cised by the stipendiary magistrates as it was throughout the metropolitan district. The alderman would be placed by this arrangement precisely on the same footing as were the magistrates of Middlesex, who were excluded from jurisdiction in the metropolitan districts, but who performed, with great advantage to the inhabitants of Mid dlesex, duties relating to the care of prisons, asylums, bridges, &e.,—duties which no doubt would be performed with equal satisfaction by the aldermen of London. O'n one other subject the recommendations of the commissioners were not carried into effect—the Irish Society. The sul.ject was one which required much attention before a satis4actory arrangement could be proposed. It did not necessarily form part of the present bill, and world, therefore, be reserved for future consideration. He had now stated the principal pro viseene of the bill. which he ghoul , ' ask leave to introduce ; and he was sure it would receive the di p ssionate and celsn consideration of the house. He anticipateit, from communi cations he had bad with gentlemen connected with the City, that it weal(' be met by them in a spirit that would insure a fair consideration of its different proposals. H e proposed to give ample time for this, because he had felt it his duty to refuse a request made to him by some gentle men of the City to see th e bill befo re it was brought in. (Hear.) With the di-position which he hoped the City would evince—with the disposition which he doubted not would be entertained by Parliament to give a fair and dis passionate consideration to the whole of its provisions-- with all that attention that wes due to the importance of the subject—he trusted that the result would be to give greater efficiency to the corporation, to strengthen its in fluence, and to increase its usefulness. He would conclu le by expressing his hope that the anticipations of the com missioners themselves would be - .fully, realised—namely, that the changes in the conelltution of the corporation which they haoe intimated, and which ate founded upon the recognised policy s f the country, will place this corpo ration upon a more solid and enlarged basis, and that the corporation will conti nue , un d er a n amended system, to possess abundant means, not o nly of public usefulness, but also exercising decent hospitality. (Cheers and laughter.) Sir J. DUKE did not anticipate that the corporation of London would throw any unnecessary opposition in the way of the measure, but he thought sufficient time should be given for its consideration before the second reading. With that view. he begged to ask the right hon. baronet when he proposed to read it a second time. One part of the statement of the right hon. baronet was not, ho thought, characterised by his usual frankness. With refe were re the held. r c e e n i v c e e d to b - y t e coal corp d o u r t a i t e i s o , he of hijaodn London, w d h th er a e t a t s b o e f y charged s only 4,1. went to their account, they receiving the rest as trustees for the Government. He wished to know whether the corporation would have the appointment of the police magistrates? Mr. WILLIAMS considered that the bill, if passed, would be of the greatest benefit to the citizens of London, and that it would render the corporation second only in importance to Parliament as far as the City was concerned. Very great praise was due to the commissioners for the care and ability with which their report was drawn up., and for the great pains they took ininvestigating theaffairs of the corporation, which thought itself too strong for Par liament, and boasted that if the House of Lords interfered with it the hereditary portion of the Legislature would place itself in a position of imminent danger. As a citizen of London he thanked the right hon. baronet for adopting the excellent suggestions of the commissioners in the framing of the bill. Mr. MASTERMAN did int wish to raise any discussion at the present stage of the measure. No doubt it would be anxiously watched by the corporation, and he was there fore of opinion that ample time should -be given to examine its previsions before the second reading. Sir G. GREY said that the bill would be brought in and read a first time that evening. He did not wish to press it forward with undue haste, but at the sometime would not consent to postpone it to any period which might endanger its passing this session. He should propose the 21st for the second reading, which would allow an interval of three weeks to elapse,- which he considered would afford ample time for the consideration of its provisions. He was afraid of wearying the house by reading a very long and clear ac count given by the commissioners respecting the coal duties, lent certainly thought that .he_had_ read that part which stated that the City received them to the extent stated as trustees for the Government. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. On the motion of )Ir. yruison it UI adored taut w. , pro Parliament - select committee should be appointed la)* porary laws of a public and general notate are ' and what laws of the like nature had expired sinotth e h at report upon the subject ; a nd a l so w h at laws ofltbe llest nature are about to expire at particular periods, or is cone, sequence of any contingent public event, and to report t) 5 same and their observations thereupon to the house.

The CHANCELLOR of the E B XCHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a bill to continue for a limited period cer tain compositions payable to bankers who had ceased 'to issue bsak notes. The right hon. gentleman stated that the provisions of the bill were precisely the same as those in the present act. . INDIAN REVENUES. On the motion of Mr : WILSON an account was ordered exhibiting in sterling money the gross and net revenues of India, distinguishing the several presidencies, &c., for the - year ended April 30, 1854 ; showing also the charges of collection and other payments out of those revenues, the rates per cent, for which the gross receipts were collected, and the public expenditure under its several heads of• ac count, both in India and England • the amount Of th e India debt, and' th e h ome bond debt, with the interest payable thereon, and the cash balances in the India and home treasuries on APril 30, 1854. SUPPLY. The report upon supply hAving been brought up, On the first vote being read, Mr. BLACKBURN called the attention of the house to the very large increase of the civil service estimates voted last night as compared with former years, and expressed a hope that when the house again went into committee of supply a closer scrutiny of the Votes world be made. The increase upon the three heads of supply granted , last night amounted to no less than 11 per cent, as compared with tho votes of 1854, or something like 5,C00,0001. on the whole revenue, and reverting to particular Acme he found one of 60,0001, on the sum voted for the maintenance of public buildings, and an increase in like proportion on other votes. He very much feared that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would find it an easier task to get the Efoifsio of Commons to vote the money than to collect it from the people. The report was thenagreed to. The Court of Common Law (Ireland) Bill passed through. committee. FIRS INSURANCES BILL. The house haying resolved itself into committee. The CHANCELLOR of the "XCV --, UER - resolution o include i invent such agencies. Mr. HADFIELD considered the proposition reasonable and necessary, but he was convinced that if the duty on insurance was reduced from 3s. to ls. per cent., the effect upon the revenue would bo to make it a gainer, while a great relief would be granted to insurers, and the system of insurance much encouraged. Mr. w ILKINSON was also of opinion that nothing cou:d effect the object so well as a reduction of duty, be• causa they could not compel a man to insure property in this country or prevent him from insuring it in others. lie considered that the present duty pressed very heavily upon the poorer classes of insurer?. Sir S. BIG/TOLD considered that it was perfectly just that foreign agencies shouts be placed under the same re strictions with respect to the payment of duty as English companies, but he did not think that at the present mo ment the right hon. gentleman would be justified in giving up two-thirds of the duty, neither did his experience teach. him that to lessen the duty would tend to increase the amount of property insured or the number of insurers, fer he recollected when the duty was only is. 6d. per cent., and it did not produce that great addition of business to insurance offices which hon. gentlemen opposite seemed to think would result from its reduction. Mr. HANKEY admitted the propriety of placing foreign agencies on the same footing, but was convinced that the only way of remedying the evil was to reduce the amount of duty, which was a tax upon the more providentportion of the community. At present not more than one-third of the property in the United Kingdom was insured, which he attributed mainly to the restrictions under which ia• surers laboured. The resolution was then agreed to, and the bill was brought in and read a first time. CORPORATION OF LONDON BILL. Sir G. GREY brought up this bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on the 21st. POOR REMOVAL BILL. Mr. WILSON brought up this bill, which was read a first time, and the second reading fixed for Friday next. The house adjourned at 25 minutes to 10 o'clock. • *Zs' ,asr, -. river. -No net,revenue was derived by the corpora- Th e CHANCELLOR o f th e EXCHEQUER moved a cim the rights of conservancy which they exercised. resolution on which to found a bill having for its obj ... ~,.A.r - , - - 7 Mon was at issue between the City and the Crown include iathegenaral limikitectiag the . . ^ t aid ~ 4 ' %,. . 3gard to rights along the b . s d shores of t ins . nee co ir viips, , , , .. t:„... ... ,,. . :...:1: ,... ,;.. _ ii. , ~ . .7 ., ,i , ,), .... c ...„ sad ',,. , ~ .- ..- .„ , z bet theiorpo*iti ' f....-. . . . •. - .lt ' "" were -minify independent ', the'ezereise of their which a present are net required to'pej , duty, the act of • f conservancy.

The Earl of MAL MESBURY had hoped that some (.f the meinbers of her Majesty's Government would be prepared to make some announcement upon the result of the late Conference at Paris. As, however, it ap peared that no such announcement was then to be made,_ he wished to ask a question of the noble marqois'oppo site, in reference to a notice he had given of his inten tion to call the attention of the house, on 816 'early day, to the capitulation of Kars. As, however, it would be most inconvenient to discuss such an important que-tion in the absence of the noble earl, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, he wished to know when it was likely that the noble earl would be in his place in the house? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he did not think it was necessary, after what had occurred in another place upon the subject already universally known, to make any statement as to the signing of the treaty of peace. In reply to the question put by the noble earl on the subject of his motion in rela tion to the fall of Kars, he believed that his noble friend would be detained for some days longer in. Paris in consequential diseussiyns arising out of the late treaty. It was the wish of his noble friend to return to his piece in that house as quickly as possible, and he had no doubt that his a'osence would be of very short duration. DELA.AIERE FORESTS BILL. On the motion of Lori STANLEY of ALDERLHY, this bill passed thrmgh committee. OUT PENSIONER' BILL. On the motion of Lord PANICIRE, this bill waq read a eeonnd time. SECRETARY TO THE POOR LAW CONINIIS• STONERS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill pas4ed througn committee. Their lordships then a I journe 1. HOUSE OF CO ANIONTB.—(YEsTzitnAY.) The SPEAMER took the chair at the useal hour. Mr HUTOHINS, the member for Leamington, having become a Runan Catholic since he had been elected a member for the borough, took the Roman Catholic oath. Sir H. STRA.CEY presented a petition against any State interference with the education of the people. Mr. COBREPT presented a petition from Blackburn, signed by 18,000 perAons, against the Factory Act. Mr. CRAUFURD presented a, petition from a place in Scotland, praying for a remedy for the impost system of billeting. the military. Lord GODERICEI presented a petition against the Factory Bill. Col - NORTH presented petitions :rom Oxfordshire in favour of the medical bill. Mr. W. J. FOX presented twnity petitions from the neighbourhood of o!dham in favour of the Factory Bill, and also several petitions against the measure. Sir J. WALMSLEY gave notice that on the 17th inst. he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the national representation. Sir E. PERRY gave notice, that on the 17th inst. he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law with respect to the property of married women. Viscount GOD ERECH gave notice, that on an early day be should call the attention of the house to the re port of the Civil Ssrvice Commissioners, and also make a motion respectiev the same. Colonel NORTH begged to ask a question of the C'fTk of the Ordr,anoe with respect to the drainage at the camp of Aldershott. The system at present in ex istence was most objectionable, and he should like to know what was intended to be done with respect to it ? Mr. MONSELL said the system alluded to by the hon. member was merely experimental. The whole sub ject had been referred to a very ern:nent person, Mr. Andrew Thompson, anti until the rep rt of that gentleman was received no steps would be taken. THE DEPUTY INSPECTOR OF FORTIFIOX TIONS. Captain L. VERNON asked if it was true that Col. Harness, Deputy Inspector-General of Fortifications, had been removed from that military office in conse quence of departmental mi-•understandings with the chief of the civil staff of the Or:?nance ? MONSELL regretted to state that, in conse quence of the lima of conduct the gallant officer had thought fit to adopt ,y revr ,4 :lia he should longer hold the office of Deputy InFpector of Fortifications. Both Lord Pan inure and himself enterta'n , iil the highest opinion of the military abilities of the gallant gentleman, and they ha I recommended him to the Commander-in-Chief to fulfill the high and responsible duty of Royal Engiueer officer at Malta. THE LATE EXECUTION. Lord IL LENNOX asked Sir G. Grey whether his attention had been directed to the cvic•irnstances which were alle:;ed to have occnTed at the execution of T. B M.)nday bit ; and, ifßo, whether he would undertake to institute an immediate inTiivy into the case ? Sir G. GREY said he saw with regret the c'rcum -tance to which the lion. member a►►uded in this morn ing's pipers. Until he saw the statements c•mtained therein, and the information ho had received from the hon. member, he had no official knowledge of the fact. He immediately sent to the sheriffs of Lmdln and Mid cifesex, who were the offi,ials appointed to conduct the execution, for a full statement of the circumstances. He had not yet received any answer from the sheriffs, but he thought there had not been time for them to furnish him with the statement. COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. Tn answ••r to n, rio...tion from S.r J. PAKINGTON, Mr. WILSON said there could 13.3 no objection to the memorial and plan relative to a monthly communi cation between this country and Australia being laid on the table of the house, but he thought it would be dele terious to the interest of that c_dony to do so, and re open the question. Sir J. PAKINGTON then gave notice that he should postpone his motion with reference to an address to her Majesty relative to this sulject. TEIE MILITARY BOARD OF INQUIRY. Mr. LA.YARD asked the noble lord at the head of the Government when the Military B )ard of Inquiry would sit, and what would ba the scope of their in- quince ? Lnrl PA.LIIERSTON said that the Board would sit almost immediately. Questions had to be settled with regard to the scope of this inquiry, which were now nearly arranged, and the Board would almost imme diately commence its duties. The immediate inquiry was with reference to those officers who had been incul pated, but of course, if other matters arose, the Board would enter on them. THE CENTRAL AMERICAN QUESTION. In reply to a question from Mr. COBDEN, Lord PALMERSTON said he wls unable to state when the correspondence relative to the Central Amer-- oan question would be laid on the table of the home. The Foreign-office had lately been much engaged with important duties, and he would inquire when the corre spondence would be ready, and inform the house either to-morrow or next day. THE MALT TAX, Mr. BALL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it was his intention to take off the additional 5 per cent malt tax, now peace was re-established? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de clined answering the question. SALARIES OF COUNTY COURT JUDGES. Mr. ROEBUCK moved an address to her Majesty that the salaries of the County Court Judges should be fixed at 1,5001. per annum far all the judges of those courts, which he thought would not be too much for them when it was considered the arduous duties they had to perform, and the manner in which they discharged them, was considered. He referred to the establishment of the county courts, and the salary fixed for the judges at 1,2001. per annum. Since then their duties had been increased, having insolvency to attend t•i, the hearing of cases amounting to 501., and, where the patties con curred, certain eases where titles to land were in dis. pate, &c , &c., so that they had , to a great extent, the civil litigation of the country in their hands. The payment of the judges had been transferred to the Trerteury, and their salaries were to be from 1 ,2001. to 1,500/. per annum. The duties of the county court judges were different from those of the Westminster-ball judges, who had the assistance of juries, which the former had not. The amount of money involved, on which a judge decided, wto no criterion of the importance of the case, or the judicial knowledge and acumen required to he brought to bear on it, and be instanced the important question of ship money in past times, where the money at issue was 20s. ; but who would say the principle at issue was not one of vital importance to the country ? After referring to the position the judges of this country held in the State, and the jealousy felt of keeping the judges free from the influence of the Govern. ment, he said that by the County Court Actthese judges were brought cap in hand to the Treasury, and made to bow to the Treasury Bench for the increase of their salary from 1,2001. to 1,5001., which was not right, and he illustrated this by referring to the case of his brother in-law, who was a County Court judge, on the minimum salary. For some time be (Mr. Roebuck) bad a notice on the books of the house disagreeable to the Govern ment, which he was unable to bring on ; after that Mr. Wilson,= the Under Secretary, came to him and said, "How about your motion ?" he (Mr. Robuck) replied, you - know 'as well as I do that I can't bring it • on ;" be then said, "You know your brother-in-law - has been for Roinstinte 6ntitlectto the maximum salary, 6 tut your notice bein on the books he could not bays ::~ -;_. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, APRIL 1. An improvement has taken place in the market to thy, and a good (teal of excitement has manifested itself among manufacturers, who are generally asking higher prices. &Hers report that this advance has not been responded to very well on the part of buyers. Shirting; and all kinds of India cloths are in rather brisk demand, and the only difficulty is as to price. The advance asked by manufacturers is LA. per piece. Longcloths remain unchanged. Oa the whole there is a healthy feeling in the market. In yarns there has not been much doing by shippers, but the home trade buyers have been active, and an advance has been secured of id. to per lb. on cops and warps. The spinners of bundle yarn, br export, are asking ;id. per lb. higher, but are not realising it. tlessr.q. John Slagg and Co. report : "Tae improved feeling noted in our last report oin!, tinned throughout the week, and, with the exception or lonsfeloths n..,1 Yesttrday and to day, in consequence of the long sad anxion-ly desired news of the ten:um:l6(m of the war, a general advance has been asked by manufacturers, whiole, however, has in only very few instances been coneeired, and the business of the day is consequently on a very . small scale." The monthly circular of Messrs. Robert Freeland and Brother will also he read with interest at this juncture " At the date of our last monthly circular sellers had succeeded in mai ,twining their advanced position, thou;h vupported only by a feeble deinind in the latter part of February. An Active bu.iness for India and CLiria was then ju.t beginning to show itself, nor did it slacken till prices of shirtings had sprung 3.1. per piece, and pro duction suitable for those markets had been engaged for some weeks forward. •‘• The home trade demand has also been active, as is usual at this season, which has assisted the market ma terially. But during the last fortnight there has been less doing ; prices, however, continue firm, and sellers are in good spirits. Indeed, from the news to hand this morning of the treaty of peace being signed, there is a dispos►tion to hold for extravagant rates. The telegra- phic accounts from the East by Trieste are also looked upon as being more satisfact .rj for the ►manufactures of this district. But it is questionable whether buyers will readily follow any upward movernent, for we are'now approaching that period of the year when demand falls off for several miirkets, and, with large arrivals of colt ma which may shortly he expected, main facturers may pro bably put on fresh contracts, without much advance in price. " The exports of cotton piece goods and yarns for the month are E 6,114 packages against 68,563 for the same time last year, but rather under the average for the last previous three months, which is 91,879 packages. The following classification shows at a glance the proportion to the various markets : Packages Lb. Cut du Cotton Pieco Goods. Yarns. East Indies 27.6 11.8 China Australia Central and South America 19.4 0.1 North America 'West Indies Co tat of Africa ......... . Turkey, Egypt. and Levant 3.0.9 7.0 Germany and Holland Other European States 6.7 27.7 "The Liverpool cott , m-market has been well sup ported during the month f middling and fair qualities of American, but the lower grades are quoted I per lb. lower. " Mule Twist—Our quotations for the lower qualities are fully fi, per lb. higher, and say from 70's and up wards there is a general advance of 1 1. per lb., which has been caused more by the anticipation of peace than by actual business, a lthough there has be e n a grea t amount of business done. " In water twist the advance isaboutd, to lg. per,lb. The goods market is in a healthy state, the demand throughout the month having been of a very general character. 39 inch chiding% for India and China.. are 31. to 431 per piece higher ; 45 inch ditto, 3d ..?er piece. Madapollams 31. p er piece of 46 yards. T cloths, iongc!oths, and domestics, without alteration. Jaco nets, from being quite neglected, have sprung up from 11d. to ad. per piece." LEEDS, APRIL 1 The cloth-halls have been well attended to-day, and a good deal of business hae been done at fully as good prices as those of laslt week. The news of the signing of the peace treaty has had so perceptible effect upon the market. The report of this day's Huddersfield market is gis follows :—!` We have had a fair trade, but , not equal to the average of the past few weeks. There is a reluctance to give advanced prices. Stocks are very light. Buyers were in the market from London and Manchester, but few large sales were effected. In wool a good business was done. Prices are firm and stocks low." • PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille premium (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17e. 100. per o L. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.27; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.371, it follows that gold is "about 0.41 per cent. dearer in Lon don than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.51 ; and the exchange at Hamburg. on London at short being 13.7 1 , it follows that gold is 0.87 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 108 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally about at par ; but, after making al allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves scarcely any profit on the transmission of gold either way between the two countries.
