Scarcely a bargain has been made in Con Sols to-day, the prices of which are quoted 90'to 90i for Money, and 904 to 90 for the Account. A purchase to some ex tent has been effected for the May account, at 90} ; New Three-and a-Half per Cents., 99i 99 ; India Bonds, 10 to 12 ; and Exchequer Bills, 33 to 35 prem. The new Spanish Three, per Cents. have again en grossed the principal attention of speculators, who find ing the public cannot be induced - to lend themselves to their introduction, are beginning to discover that the Coupons are not quite so valuable documents as it was attempted to prove them to be. If they ,be left quietly alone they will speedily find their proper level, and be come like the Bonds from which they have been detached— a dead letter:. the present quotation is 231 a, having fallen from 241, the last price of yesterday, or decline of 1} per cent. from the highest price. The Old Bonds are nominally 241. Some little business has been done in Mexican, but in consequence of some difficulty in ar ranging the Coupons, many dealers have closed their accounts, and the most correct quotation for the Bonds is 38 to 38i ex all the overdue Coupons ; Columbian, 26, to 27 Peruvian, 161 ; and Portuguese, for the Ac count, 36i. • The increase in the earnings of the Brighton Railway has caused an improvement in the • Shares, which have been done at 36:1 4.

The quarterly average of the weekly liabilities and assets of the Bank of England, for the period ending the 29th ult., gives the following results, by a comparison with the previous returns :—The circulation has in creasA 183,0001., the difference between 16,952,00 CL and 16,769,0001. The deposits have decreased 297,0001, the difference between 8,657,000/. - and 8,934,000/. The securities have decreased 513,000!., the difference be tween 22,586,0001. and 23,099,000/. The bullion has in creased 438,0001., the difference between 6,125,0001. and 5,687,000/. The balance in favour of the Bank is also greater by 39,000/., the difference between 3,102,0001. and 3,063,0001. These returns are generally reviewed as satisfactory. Although the increase in the circulation be so small this month, yet it has been gradually en larged during the whole of the present year, and is now but 20,000/. below December, 1841. This may be accounted for by the public availing themselves of the opportunity of borrowing more freely when the reduction of interest on loans was made. The quantity of bullion is also favourable, and 'would lead to the ex pectation that the present rate of discount will not be continued by the Bank. It was anticipated that it would have been lowered at the meeting on Thursday, but the object of not doing . so may have been not to depreciate the nominal value of money still further. It appears singular that the Bank of England still adheres to the charge of five per cent. for discounting bills, when 'it will lend money at four por cent upon the same description or securites.

This applies to the various qualities of Americans under . "fair," of which the great bulk of our stock consists ; as well as to long stapled descriptions in general, including Sea Islands. To-day there was a public sale of the, last kind, when it was shown to what a limited extent the demand for that description is cir cumscribed—Only a comparatively small part of what was offered was sold, and that at a reduction in the pre vious rates of nearly id. per lb., nor could the buyers have been induced to take a much greater quantitT, even should the prices have been reduced another halfpenny. In fact they will 7of be forced beyond the supply of their present wants. The sales of the week amount to 18,940 bales, of which 1,200 Ame rican have been taken on speculatin, and 600 with 250 Surat, and 200 Madras for exportation.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) RE ROEERT HASWELL. This eras the ninth time the insolvent appeared in Court on his culjou:•;i hearing. Ile had ca rri . ed on business as a plumber and glazier, in Maidstone, where he was set up in business by his father, who took a deed of assignment' of all the poperty there. In a short time he sold it out, and set up in Chancery-lane, in the same business, and having erected a small partition in his yard, w Lich was considered to be a nuisance by a solicitor named Duncan, who resided next door, that gentleman sued him on mesne process,when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff; with damages of Is. only; however tlwcosts were enormous, and - the insolvent's father, in lieu of his fomer- assignment at Maidstone, got another executed in hiS favour on the stock and pre mises in Chancery-lane, all of which -he took into his hands when the insolvent was arrested:- The case had been adjourned from time to time for the father to give up this property to the I,.eneral body. of the creditors, and to produce Lis son's books in Court, which ho-had promised to do at each hearing, but as ngularly disappointed the Court, so.that the unfortunate insolvent had peen kept a long time in prison ' and had been so frcquently brought up f or hearing, and as often remanded. Mr. COOK E, who appeared on behalf of the opposing. creditor, Mr. Duncan, said he pitied the unfortunate in solvent, against whom his client - entertained no feelings of IL3stility, but he should say unit the father seemed in clined that he should be incarcerated. Mr. Co►un►issioner lanais said the conduct of Mr. Haswell, sen., was, in his opinion, not to be excused, as it was by his obstinacy that thJ ease had been so fre quently before the Court, to the serious loss of public time. He should not pronounce judgment until all the insolvent's books and papers were filed in Court, ten days after which time an order might be issued fur his re-hearing. - The insolvent was then taken back to prison. RE JEAN BAPTISTE TAILEER. Two The iniolvent's application to be discharged was sup ported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed in person by a cre ditor named George Ayr. The attorney who had been originally engaged in this ease was guilty of an irregularity, and his mime ordered to be struck off the rolls, unless he paid into : Court op a certain day the money which he had fraudulently re ceived from the insolvent. Mr. LEWIS, who was appoin:ed to act in his place, stated to the Court that the money had not since been paid in. Mr. Commissioner HArtais said the course he should observe would be to cause this person to be served with rule to show cause why he should not have his name struck off the rolls, unless the money was paid into Court immediately. The opposing creditor stated that he did some work for the insolvent, upon a gymnasium which he had in Wardour-street, Oxford-street, to the amount of 451. and of which he had received no payment. • The insolvent, in his examination by Mr. COOKE, said he acknowledged that the work was done, but Mr. Ayr had contracted to do it for 121. The Learned COMMBSIONER held that there was no eking in the manner of contracting this debt, that called fa. a remand ; and, no other creditors appearing in op position, the insolvent was ordered to be discharged forth wi POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY). ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A respectably attired, -good looking young man, named James Comptus.e, ho de scribed himself as a watchmaker, residing in East-street, BA Lion-square, was charged with attempting to commit suicide, by throwing himself over the parapet of Water lob Bridge. Mr. Christopher stated that he was passing over Waterloo Bridge last evening, between - nine and ten o'clock, when he observed the prisoner coining towards him on the other side of the way ; he then saw him go into a recess and get over the parapet. Witnes imme diately ran across to the place where he was, and seized him by the collar, and another person coming up at the tune, with his assistance, witneis pulled the prisoner back. If he had been a minute later, be had not the least doubt but he should have been too late to save the prisoner from self-destruction. At that time the prisoner said nothing to account for his conduct. He was not tipsy. The prisoner said, that he was walking along, when all on a sudden he was seized with an involuntary pulse to jump down. Something came over him which he could not describe. The father of the prisoner, a most respectable-looking man, here came forward and said he could not think that his son would attempt such an act. Mr. TWYFORD gave the prisoner over into the hands of his father. ANOTHER ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—An intelligent looking man, probably about seven-and-twenty years of age, named May, was next charged with attempting. to commit self-destruction under the following circum stances : Police-constable, F 91, said, that about half-past twelve o'clock last night he was on duty in Clare-street when he saw the prisoner in the act. of taking some sugar of lead. He had seen the prisoner's wife just before that,and she had told him that he had threatened to poison himself. when the prisoner applied the paper of poison to his mouth. Witness endeavoured to knock it Out of his hand, and he succeeded in making him drop a consider able portion of it. He then took him to the hospital, where, however, he was not detained long ; the report from that institution being that the prisoner had been drinking, and had taken a little / sugar of lea ', but not enough seriously to injure him. He had been locked up since. The prisoner, when callod on for his defence, said, smilingly, that "he was very sorry for his last night's ei - mdtiet; he had been drinking, and had had a few swords with his wife." Mr. TWYFORD—WeII, I am very glad to see you smiling, and you - seem to be very happy that you were prevented from committing the foolish act you contem plated. I hardly know how to deal with such a • case ; some magistrates think it proper to commit such persons. The prisoner's father, however, here carne forward, and, as in the previous case, into his hands was the foolish young man delivered. These cases excite a great deal of disgust in the breasts of all well-feeling people, who know that in nine cases out of ten, they are only attempted with no more serious object in view than to work upon the feelings of some poor, weak female, or unfortunate parent. No act can betray greater cowardice than, by unnatual means, to attempt to escape from the trials and troubles of this. life, to which " all flesh is heir." UNION HALL—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Murray was charged with committing a vio lent assault on his wile, who was supported into Court owing to the nature of the injuries she receive 4. The complainant stated that when she returned home on the preceding afternoon, she was attacked by her hus band, who knocked her down, and while she was on the floor kicked her in the body. She further slat, d that he was in the habit of ill-using her, and that he often threatened to be her murderer, declaring that he would er v e her as the late Mr. Burdon of Eastebeap was served. The defendant said that he was drunk, and did not know what he was about at the time. Mr. COTTINGHAM adjudged him to enter into his own ree.gnizances in 401., and find two sureties of 201. ea,h. to keep the peace for 12 months. The defendant was locked up in d e f au lt o f no t finding the required sureftes. Ellen Wali:ingskaw, a woman of the town, was charged with robbing Thomas Walter, of a purse con t3ining 11 sovereigns, and Henry Goodwin, the proprie to of a house of ill-fame, and his wife Mary, were charged with being concerned in the offence. Walkingshaw said that she was not the person, and that the complainant had mistaken her. The other prisoners, however, contradicted the assertion, and said that Walkingshaw brought in the complainant to their house, and on hearing her screams they went up, and thinking the complainant was ill-using her, held him while she ran out, not suspecting- she had committed a robbery. Walkinshaw was committed for trial, and the other prisoners as accessaries after the fact. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) WEYMOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS. TWO coNsmtvATlvE MEMBERS DEFEATED. The Committee sat at the usual hour this morning, but some hesitation appearing on the side of the Coun sel for the sitting Members, The CHAIRMAN asked how long they were to wait for those Learned Gentlemen ? Y Mr. TALBOT said the fact was, they had no further de fence to make, for the decisions of the diy before had kid such an actual, - and also such a melancholy prospective cffect upon their forces, that it was evi dent to the counsel for the sitting members that the utmost they could do now would be to postpone the hour of defeat, but not wishing to waste the time of the Committee or of their opponents, they had resolved to abandon their case the moment they found it hopeless. He had, therefore, now to announce that the sitting Mem bers, seeing that the allegations of the petitioners were alreadyin a great degree proved, would resist no further, and that they did now abandon their seats. The Committee, on hearing the statement, ordered the room to be cleared ; and when it was re-opened, declared their resolution to be, that Lord Villiers and Mr. Hope, the sitting Members, had been unduly elected for the borough of Weymouth, and ought not to have been returned ; but that the petitioners, Mr. Bernal and Mr. Christie had been duly elected, and ought to have been returned, and that those Honourable Gentlemen were now the sitting Meml:ers. • The late Members have to thank the indiscreet, but most expensive zeal, of their local agents for their pre sent position. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1842. ABDUCTION, EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF (Prom a third Edition Of the Liverpool Standard.) FOURTH DAY'S INVESTIGATION. The case was resumed this day at two o'clock. The 'Court was again crowded with auditors, curiosity being on tiptoe to hear the result, it being fully expected that the proceedings would, at this sitting, be brought to a close. On the bench with Mr. Rushton, tat Messrs. H. Hornby, William Brown, Booth, T. Rathb ne, J. Aikin, Joseph Hornby, Councillors Kasha w, Cooper, Jordan, and otheni. . Mr. Rushton inquired of Mr. Grocott whether he pro posed- to call any witness in behalf of his client, and he said he did not intend it. 'l'a the question, Mr. Bayou port also replied in the negative. - Mr. Rushton then said that he would not put the names of the other witnesses who might now be called on the back of the indictment. Is was necessary that they should be present, in order to identify- the prisoners, or any of them, and such witnesses mi g ht b e cross-exa muted for the prisoners. He then inquired whether either Mr. Grocott or Mr. Davenport were engaged for Duval. They severally replied that they were not. Au officer came into court and stated that he had been to Dr. Pryden's (examined yesterday), and found that gentleman dressed, and lying in Led; that he stated he was so ill that he could not attend, and that be had been on the way to the Court but found himself so ill that he was obliged to return home. He Wished witness to re queA the Court to send a medical gentleman to see him, and certify to his state of health. Mr. Rushton appeared to be satisfied that Dr. 1). was,unahle to appear. Con siderable delay then took place, rind at a quarter to three the witness WAS brought inteitourt, and the seven pri soners, who were brought up on the previous day, were again placed at the bar, with .the addition of George William Duval, who had been taken into custody on Thursday. Mr. Rushton addressing Duval, said, he had been taken into custody in consequence of the evidence affect ing him, which he would read to them. One of the witnesses could not attend to-day from illness, but he would have an opportunity of cross-examining him on a future occasion. The other evidence affecting him was that of Miss Crellin herself, and some others, and these might be cross-questioied. Mr. R. then read the evi dence of Miss Crellin, and Dr. Drydefahnd having coin- Pleted it, said that it appeared from it that he (Duval) had been engaged in the matter from the commence• silent, that was mixed up with it throughout, and had aided and abetted the other parties - in the transaction. If he wished to say anything he might do so, but in doing so, he (the prisoner) must be cautious in what he should say. • Mr. Duval declined to say anything at that stage of the proceedings. • Mr. Rushton then asked M`Gill, with the usual cau tion, what he had to say ?—He declined saying any thing then. Mr. Quick said the manna' in-Which the prosecution had been conducted was most unjust and disgraceful towards him. He had no knowledge of Miss Crellin for more than six days, nor had seen her till after she was ut St. Paul's Church. He had no knowledge of her going to Egremont, and bad only gone to Rogerson's to see a sick child. He considered it very hard that he should be taken and kept in custody, as he had taken no part in anything improper. Jones (the man) and Mrs. Jones, his wife, said nothing. Mrs. Clayton said—l accompanied Miss Crellin and Mr. M'Gill to Scotland, at the request of both. I went to bed in the next room on the night of the marriage, as I shall prove on my trial. I was called up by Miss Crellin in the morning - part., - She knocked me up and requested I would co me tohet. My door was locked. I put on my clothes and went. She complained of great pain in her finger from the`tightness of the ring. It was much swollen. She requested me to take it off' ; and I bathed her hand in cold writer i _and tried to take it off but could not. Her brigand asked her to go back to Led, saying that the swelling would fall before morning, and he would then take it offl. I was never in bed with them, and what she said on that was ill founded. The ring was got off next morning. It was filed off; and a large one put on. She wore that ring as long as I re m-limed with her—till we came to Liverpool, and ap peared to be quite satisfiecl. That is all I have to say respecting the marriage. With respect to the 201., I Lad nothing to do with the transaction. What it was said I stated to Mr. Dowling is not correct. The police officer himself contradicted the statement, and it was ungentlemanly in Mr. Dowling to bring it up. Mr. Rushton asked Mrs. Clayton whether she had any thing more to say ? - Mrs. Clayton—Not anything at present, Sir. Mr. Rushton then addressed the prisoner James Dun levir, and said that under all the circumstances of the case, and considering that there was some doubt of his being concerned in the second part of the transaction, namely, the tailing away of Miss Crellin to Gretna Green, he would admit him to bail. He must enter into his own recognizance of 1001. and two sureties of 251. • each, to appear to answer the charge in that Court when called upon, and also into further recognizances to ans any indictment that might be preferred against him. Mr. Davenport urged, on the part of Mrs. Jones, that she had acted in this matter under the directions of her husband. Mr Rushton said no bail could be taken for Mrs. Jones, as she had been proved to have frequently acted distinctly for her husband. Mr. 6rocott applied on the part of Rogerson, contend in;; that there was but littl e difference between his case ari d that of Dr. Dryden. Mr. Rushton said Rogerson could not, under any cir ctunstancts, be admitted to bail. Mr. Snowball applied fur the immediate committal of the pr:soners. _ Air. Rushton replied that he could not consent to that, because he thought the prisoners ought to hare an op portunity of cross examining the witnesses before their names were put on the back of an indictment. Mr. Grocott reminded the Court that the Borough Ses sions were approaching ; they would be held on the 14th. Mr. Rushton—l am afraid it will be impossible to com mit them in time for the Sessions—if indeed I commit them for trial there at all. - Mr. Sno‘s ball said, if they were committed to the Ses sions it would be impossible to prepare the case es it ought to be. Mr. Rushton would not commit them upon any consi deration at present. Some conversation then took place between Mr. Rush ton and Mr. Snowball, as to who should prosecute. The Court saying that the Corporation prosecutor must un dertake it, and Mr. Snowball stating that Miss Crellin was anxious that he should prosecute, especially as he was engaged iu taking proceedings to set aside the alleged marriage. This matter was eventually settled by Mr. Rushton observing that it would be easily arranged out of Court. • The prisoner Rogerson here expressed hit' d es i re t o say a few words in the hope of inducing the Court to admit him to bail. lie said he had never taken the slightest part by way of advising or planning, in this matter, and that he had always behaved with the greatest respect towards Miss Crellin. He had six young chil dren and a wife depending upon him for support, and un less he were admitted to bail, this circumstance would be the entire destruction of Isis family. Mr. Rushton said he should have thought of his family beibre ; at present lie could not be bailed. The case, however, would be further- investigated, and, if any circumstances came out likely to alter his opinion, he would give them his best consideration, but he could make no promise. Mr. Grocott—May the prisoners see their friends ? Mr..Rushton—l cannot make any such order ; but they may see their legal advisers. The prisoners were then remanded till Friday next, at one o'clock. The Court was crowded to excess during the whole of the proceedings. GREAT MARLOW. The Committee met to-day at the usual hour.

DERBY, APRIL l.—Derby was this morning visited by the most calamitt us and fearful flood that can be re member( d ever to have occurred in the town. It is now fast subsiding, and the streets .are passable for carriages. The footways are still in places covered deep with water. The first intimation within , the town of apprehended danger was made about half-past one o'clock in the night, and thove who reside upon the edge of the brook which passes through the town were promptly alarmed by the watchman. Immediate steps were taken to rescue pr(perty; but so sudden and rapid was the rush of waters, that even those who had -early. caution suffered consi• derable loss. In the middle of the town (King's Head Hotel) I 10(10 out about four o'clock, jest aroused from sleep. From the bedroom windew I - looked into the yard, which seemed a huge tank of water, flowing half way up the stable doors. Exertions were being made to force open the folding gates which open from the street into the yard. The angry rush of flood defied their utmoSt.labour. Pigs and their troughs were swimming ; dogs whined and shivered, ter rified in their escape ; the Curses trembled as they stood belly deep in the water, from Which it was not possible to release them ; within the house chairs were floating along the passages, tables Were turned, barrels r a i se d -from the cellars, a little fleet of boots and slims sailing about in the very mockery of confusion. The greatest calamity I have yet heard is the loss of one life, which I hope is the extent ; it is of a young newly-married woman, who slept on the ground floor, who was drowned in the bed. Copings of bridges and of St. Warbeck's Church Wall and railings aro washed down ; vaults within the Church sprung ; heavy town carts floated from their yartbi and overturned, now lie in the streets ; and an untnense extent of damage is done to goods, furniture, &c. ; throughout the centre of the town. The market, which lies in the fall or deepest part of the current, is swept away. THE CONDEMNED CRIMINALS AT YORK.—Accord ing to the usual arrangement, the execution of Jonathan Taylor, of Escrick, and Robert Nall, of Sheffield, the two wretched criminals condemned at the York Assizes for the murder of their •wivei, will take place next Sa turday, the 9th of April. We do not hear of any rospite or reprieve for either, but this is by no means decisive of their fute, as the Royal clemency, when it is ex tended, is not usually made known till near the day ap pointed for the execution.--Lecds Mercury. ROBBERY AND SuciDE.—Yesterday morning, be tween six and seven o'clock, a fine young man, named John Robinson, aged 23 years, committeda most deter minedhimself into th e act of suicide, by throwing . River Thames, near Stulthwark-bridge. He went to f a i r an Tuesday last, taking Greenwich with him 31 les, belonging to his master, a baker, living in Tot tenham-court-road. The body has not yet been found. He has left a widow and infant child to lament his un timely end.

Mr. Amesbury has introduced very successful modes of treating deformities, &c. It appears from his work, entitled " Practical Remarks on Deformi ties, Weakness, and Stiffness of the Spine, Chest, and Limbs," that in some cases of knock-knee, or in knee, the limbs may be straightened by his plan in two or three days, without operation, and without producing pain. It requires, however, some months to perfect the restoration of the parts. The following well attested case, copied from the Salisbury and Win chester Journal, is illustrative of this treatment : TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SALISBURY AND WINCHES- I , , TER JOURNAL." The Parsonage House, A mes b ur y, Wilt s hi re . . Sir, —I send you the.following letter, as a testi mony to Mr. Amesbury's new mode of treating de formities.of the limbs, and if you should be pleased to give it insertion in your Journal, the subject of it may not be uninteresting to some of your readers. • My fourth son, now eleven years of age, was from his infancy rather an unhealthy child, and at an'-early period was the subject of great weakness in his ankles and legs. As he grew, this weakness increased to distortion, and he became' what is commonly called very knock -kneed—so much so, indeed, that it was evident he would be a cripple for life, if some means were not speedily adopted to stay the progress of the deformity. An eminent surgeon in the country, George Sampson, Esq., recommended me to take him to Joseph Amesbury, Esq., a surgeon in London. 1 did so accordingly, in August, 1839, the kiy being then nine years old. At this time, when standing up with his kness together, the ankles, instead of touch ing each other, were eight inches asunder. Upon examination, Air. Amesbury pronounced tho case to be a bad one of its kind, but still curable. He di rected the use of his leg -supports, which he procured, and shoes of a particular construction, and that fric tion should be applied to the affected parts, promising me that, if his instructions were strictly attended to, the evil would be removed in the course of two years. The instructions have been strictly attended to, and the promise more than fulfilled ; the deformity having been cured within eighteen months, and the leg-sup ports having been since worn only until the muscles and other parts should have fully recovered their pro per tone and strength. The boy paid his last visit to Mr. Amesbury about -ten days since, and returned home last week free and unfettered, in high health and spirits, with as good a pair of legs as I could wish him. During the first year and a half he visited Mr. Amesbury occasionally, and, with the exception of the short absences when he was in town, for the purpose of being seen by Mr. A., he has been at home, suffer ing no pain, and scarcely any inconvenience, from the treatment prescribed, growing rapidly in height, and in perfect good health. Sir Edmund and Lady Antrobus, Hyde Park corner, Piccadilly, London, most kindly took charge of the little patient, on the occasion of his several visits to Mr. Amesbury; and, I doubt not, will be happy to bear testimony to .that gentleman's successful treat ment of this case.—l have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, FULWAR WM.

ENGLISII WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL I.—We have this week to report a continuance of the languid demand for all kinds of English wool alluded to in our last report. We do not quote any alteration from last week's prices, though the same quotations are with dif ficulty maiaintained. TRADE OF LEEDS.—At no time since the commence ment of the year has there been so little doing as was the case on Saturday at our cloth halls ; on Tuesday there was a little more done, but on the whole there is not half the business doing %%Well is usually transacted at this season. In this dull state of the demand, prices are of course very far from being satisfactory. There Las been a little more business done in the warehouses this week as compared with hest, but the demand has -been principally for Tweeds and fancy goods. The fine cloth trade still continues in the same dull state as it has been during the last six or eight months. HoLmruern.—Trade still continues in a fearfully de pressed state. Many of the mills have not been half employed during the last three months, and the circum stances of the working class have been gradually getting worse. The condition of out-door workmen and arti sans is deplorably bad.; The impetus which a many hoped the spring trade would give to our manufacturing operations has not been realised. Tradesmen cannot divine what benefit they are to obtain by having the burden of their taxation increased, and numbers are looking to the future, not .in buoyant hope, but fearful alarm. Of Peel's odious income tax, but one opinion is expressed, namely that it is a dernier raw tto prop up the landed and colonial monopolists. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSIJAY.—Our Piece trade may fiiirly be . quoted a little flatter, which is attributable to the present time being between the seasons ; and the German fairs being on, the merchants suspend their operations till the result is known. There is a steady business doing in yarn, and We believe there is no accu mulation in stocks. PI ices without alters, tion. The de mand for wool still continues limited. The m ar k e t i s fully supplied with all kinds requisite to meet th e pre sentre 1 i s want e d f or immediate use. In prices there is a slight decline. — Leeds.

TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUN Szn,—St. Barnabas, King-square, was formerly a chapel of ease, and while so, was allowed a sum of about 141/.155. Gd. per annum (for wine, 121. Bs. Gd. bread, 11 s. 3d. ; gas, 12/. 12s. ; candles, 2/. 2s. ; up holstery, 3/. 19s. 3d. ; glazier's work, Cl. 9s. 1,1.; smith's work, Si. 155.; plumber's work, 2/. 3s. 5d.; carpenter's work, ss. Gd; turnery articles, 19s. 6d. ; bookbinding, 345. td.; officer to maintain order, 51.; water-rates, 305.; organ-blower, 50s. ; in cidents per chapel-keeper, 71. lls. ; sexton, 32/. ; organist, 30/. ; pew-opener, 10/. ; clock winder and cleaner, 4/. 4s). But this chapel has had within the last four months a district assigned to it, and in the same Gazette St. Paul, Bunhill-row, is also announced as a district church. To the credit of St. Paul, they have never applied for assistance ; but St. Barnabas, having previously had those several items paid by the parish, again applied to have the same allowance continued, notwithstanding the St. Barnabas' gentlemen had claimed the dues arising from a funeral in the vault, and when the church ardens demanded them on tho part of the parish, it was refused. Therefore, it is thought that as St. Barnabas claimed all they had a right to do by law, that the parish ought not to pay more than the law will compel them. The parishioners who entertained this opinion got up the following requisition "To take into consideration the propriety . of dis countenancing the allowances to St. Barnabas, in con sequence of its having been recently made a district church." This requisition was placed on the notice of the day, and discussed, and the result was that those al lowances should be continued, upon which a ballot was demanded, and the Vestry determined the demand for the ballot should be printed, accompanied by a letter from the Rev. Gentleman of St. Barnabas, and circulated through the whole parish. I cannot close this without saying the opposition is only against the rate, and not against the Rev. Gentleman, whom I sincerely believe lives in the es teem of every parishioner. My object in sending you these particulars, is in the hope you will use your influence in calling upon the parishioners to resist this demand, assert their right, or they must submit to such degradation as they will not be likely ever to shake off. The poll by ballot commenced this day, and con tinues on Thursday from ten to four, and Friday at ten and closes at five.—Yours, &c., March 30, 1842. IL HO wiTT, 202, Whitecross-street LORD ROLLE.—Letters, received this morning at Lord Rolle's, in Upper Grosvenor-street, from Bi c t on Park, state dint his Lordship has passed very restless nights, and continues in the same feeble state. Lady Rolle remains indisposed. HECTOR O'IIALLORAN. BY W. H. MAXWELL, ESQ., AUTHOR OF " STORIES OF WATERLOO," &C.— Mutato nomine de to fibula narrator, may we well say to " Hector O'Halloran," whom we announced to make his appearance, together with his man, Marc Antony O'Toole, unler another name, several weeks ago. Here he is, no matter with what title, in propria persona, and Ad' of Maxweliian spunk and military fire. The open ing scene is laid in an old mansion in a wild part of Ireland, and the characters introduced are its own—a retired colonel, with one arm less than he began the world with—an agreeable wife—and the hero an infant. There are also a liomish and a Protestant priest, the baby O'Toole an orphan, and sundry minor per sonages. We mean by "minor" characters, not so prominent, and not less in point of size. A trea cherous night attack by Whiteboys on the residence cf the O'Halloran family, and its fearful repulse, are vividly described ; and then a change conies over the fortunes of the inmates. The hero and his ,foster-brother Marc arrive at manhood and begin life. The narrative goes rapidly on—so rapidly that we will only recommend it to all those who can run to read. They will be gratified with the tale. Faugh-a ballagh, the Irish fer "clear the way," is its motto, and the first fasciculus does so in capital style.—Literary Gazette. BODY OF A FEMALE FOUND IN TIIE SERPENTINE. —Yesterday morning the body of a middle-aged female was taken out of the Serpentine by one of the loyal Society's men, and conveyed to the bone-house at Ken sington, to await the Coroner'S inquest. It is in a very decomposed state, and appears to have been in the water at least three weeks or a month. Nothing was found on her person likely to lead to her identity, and from there being no marks of violence on the person, there is little doubt she had committed suicide. _ _ The Gazette du ltilidi states that the courier who carries the dispatches from Villefort to Mende was found murdered a few days back. His body was dread fully mutilated, the arms and head being separated ap parently by an axe. As neither the Toney nor watch of the unhappy man were taken away, it is supposed that vengeance prompted the deed. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBI TION. Among the various pleasant lounges of the metropolis, there are few of greater interest than Madame Tussaud's exhibition of wax figures, in Baker -street, Portman square. This collection is, in fact, a gallery of histori . cal ports :its, and will in aftertimes become invaluable from the extreme fidelity of the likenesses. What, for instance, can be more faithful and more life-like'than the tip;ure of that impersonation of strong common sense, the late William Cobbett. who sits, with snuff-box in hand and spectacles on nese, regarding the gorgeous group of Allied Sovereigns before him with the same smile of quiet sarcasm which we may imagine played .upon his features, while writing his celebrated gridiron prophecy, or while christening the Westminster renegade " Sir Glory." Among the more recent additions to the cc:l ice:ion we particularly noticed the portrait of Commts sioner Lin, the originator of the war between . the Chi nese and " the red-haired barbarians"—the roan who insulted the British flag and persecuted the British mer chants, " not because he loved epiutn less, but because he loved Svrce silver more." By his tide, balanced upon oertain little knobs, which in China do duty. for feet, stands his wife ; the nails ef "the charming couple" are most remarkable, extending for several inched beyond the tips of the fingers. The length the nail is, it seems, the distinguishing characteristic of aristocracy in China. But is not alone as a historical portrait gallery that this collection •IS so interesting ; there are many most extraordinary articles of curiosity exhibited in this elegantly fitted up saloon, for instance hero are the gorgeous robes worn by George the Fourth on the occasion of his coronation, and the iden ti ml throne under which he received the Allied 'Sovereigns. These magnificent and costly articles are most tastefully displayed in a recess fitted up as a facsimile • of one of G torge IV.'s own superbly-f u rni s h e d rp '.i rr p tt a rioa r ni t t nii onl e f n ct, t hs s q . euee P xsi e t r i. il)tiatpiosn, , ho is we t i l e e r, l t il l i t i e q m ue os e t ol i l n e t e e t r io e n st interesting the heroes of the first French Revolution. The eloquent, strong-willed Mirabeau, the wily, cat-like, perfidious Robespierre, the wholesale murder-monger, Alma, the creel Carrier, the cold-blooded Fouquier-Tinville, the sarcastic Hebert, are all here—a study for the his toram, the physiognomist, and the moral philo sopher. 'Madame Tussaud has also 'ulg il a m r i l; l o c r d ror a s t ; at traction for those who delight in N and in this room 'are accurate portraits of Gould ,anl Courvoisier, of Burke and flare, and of Blakeslee- and Ward. The exhibition has been thr onged both morning and. evening during the holidays, and we are not at all surprised that such should be the case; - It is one of great reel varied interest, and trill amply repay tho troupe of a visit. ENGLISLI POOR IN PARIS. (Extract from a Parls letter of Thursday.) A ball in aid of the funds for the distressed English in Paris is to take place to-morrow night at the capital room of hertz, the pianist and manufacturer of pianos, in the Rue de la Vietoire. Another, to be given by Lady Cowley (on the Queen's birth -day, it is said) has raised the hopes and expectations of all who have or look fur the entree at the hotel of the British Embassy. Respecting th , .! former, I have a circumstance to-com municate which will cause you, I think, with Peter Pindar, to exclaim, "Lies—lies—lies." The Committee for the mana:;ement of this charity ball employed a person acquainted with the details of such matters, who furnished to them nn-estimate of the .expenses, in which, to their astonishment, they found.' this item:— " For the poor of 1112 arrondissement (or division) Goof. !" The Committee called the contractor before them, and. ashed an explanation of this charge. " It,is customary," said he. • " Cestomary ?" " Yes ; and x ithout subs fitting to it you \ VIII not be allowed to give the ball you contemplate. Indeed, I am not sure that I 1 " . .;,, required," ve underrated th e sum t h at w ill be ! —en proceed forthwith to the person empowered to enforce this exaction, and ascertain the truth. You must surely make a mistake." The contractor shook his head, but obeyed. He re turned shortly afterwards to the Committee, and made to them a communicati;,n which indUced a deputation of that budl to wait upon the officer in question. On being introduced to him, the deputation asked were the facts communicated to them by their contractor cor rec.'tly stated ? Upon which the following colloquy took " How many tickets have ycu disposed of for this ball?" demanded the functionary. " Five hundred and fifty," replied the spokesman of the Committee, " and hope that we shall get off 250 more." "Thnt will make tOO. Now, 800 tickets, at 9.0 france each, will product , " 15,000 francs. Of that sum I must hare one-fourth." " 4.000 francs ?" " For the poor cf the arrondissement." What, Sir ± do you pretend to a right to extort from such a fund—a fund for the benefit of poor foreigners, a clear fourth part of the whole sum contributed by their charitable countrymen and countrywomen ?" For the poor of the arrondissement," repeated the functiona ev, " Then, Sir, we know our countrymen and country women subszribers to this fund, and are quite sure that the best that we could do in the interest•of those for whose benefit it was proposed will be to relinquish the idea or a b4ll.altogether (th , .e functionary started), for we are convinced that the majority of the - -subscribers will not reclaim or take back themonev paid for their tickets." This and other observations, which I do not deem it nteessary to mention, had apparent effect upon the func tionary, who at length lowered his demand by 50 per cent., and he consented to receive out of the gross SUM subscribed for the poor English in Paxift only one eighth, or 121- per cent., for the poor of the arrondis semtint," as he said, and no doubt said truly, for the mo ney goes not into his pocket. I am quite sure that neither you, nor the " friends of the foreigners in distress in Landon, nor Count D'Or say and other charitahle Frenchmen, who lately so worthily and laudably resolved to found in your city an institution similar to that established here for the benefit of the English poor, will believe one word of what I have written. " What ! (you and they will exclaim) " rob the suffering foreigner in order to diminish the taxes of Paris? No, no, Mr. Correspondent, you are in error, are misinformed, or worse." Now, I reply, in the words also f the aforesaid Peter— " I tell you, roaring infidels, 'tis true—" and 2,000 f. out of the money received for this charitable purpose must be paid before the doors can be opened for holding a charity ball for the benefit of the distressed Bristish poor in Paris I BURIAL OF TAE DEAD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—ln your paper of yesterday you have a paragraph entitled " Christian Burial," in which it is stated, and evidently intended as an oblique attack upon the Church of England, that a clergyman refused to bury the infant at Buriton, it not having been baptised. The clergyman could do no other, as you will observe, if you will turn to the rubric of the rraver Book. What the custom of the Scotch Birk is Ido not know, but at all events it is scarcely fair or just to ini pugn the English clergy for obeying canons which, at their ordination, they swear they will observe. I am, Sir, yours, &c., AE [The custom of the Scotch Kirk is to bury the dead in solencn silence, and the clergy as regards burials make no distinction between baptized and unbaptized. We cannot help thinking that the English Church would do well to imitate the example.] BRIGHTON RAILwAy.—It is with pleasure we an nounce that the traffic on this line is rapidly increasing. The three first days of the present week, We understand, turned in 175/. more than on the corresponding days of the preceding. week, and the receipts on Thursday ex ceeded those on that day fortnight by 75/. No coin parison, of course, could be made with the Thursday before Good Friday.—Railway Magazine. THE NEW TESTAMENT.—ROME, MIRCII 14. Cardinal Angelo Mai has just completed a work on which he has been occupied for npwards::of ten years. It is an edition of the New Testament, with the varia tions of all the manuscripts existing in the principal libraries of Rome and other parts of Italy, and with numerous notes full of philol og i ca l research. The text adopted by Cardinal Mai, as the basis of his edition, is that of the celebrated manuscript, No. 1,09, in the li brary of the Vatican, which dates from the sixth century. At the suggestion of his Eminence, the Papal Govern ment has resolved to publish, at its own expense, a fac simile of this manuscript, which is in g:lt uncial letters and in close writing (seriphs continua)—that is to say, the words are not separated from each other by spaces. Our celebrated engraver Milli is to execute a copper plate engraving of this fae-amile, copies of which will be presented by the Holy See to all the , Sovereigns in Christendom. MEETING 01' THE ELECTORS OF LEEDS, TO EX. , PRESS Tima OPiNtoss TO THEIR AlbanEns ON THE LNCOME TAX.—On Wednesday evening last, a public meeting of the electors of this borough, convened by sir • cular, was held in the Music-hall, for the purpose of making known to their Members, William Beckett, Esq., and William Aldam, jun., Esq., the opinions they enter tain on the subject of Sir Robert Peers income tax. Between 900 and 1,000 persons were present, and the proceedings were marked by the most decided opposi tion. Among the speakers on the occasion were Hamer Stansfield, Esq., James Holdforth, Esq., Mr. Craven, Mr. George West, and Mr. Alderman Tottie. The Mayor, W. Pawson, Esq., occupied the chair, accom panied by W. Aldam, jun., Esq., M.P., and a great many other gentlemen connected with mercantile and manu facturing operations. EXTR-AORDINARY DISCOVERY OF WATCHES IN CRUTCHED-FRlARS.—Between eleven and twelve o'clock yesterday (Frid a y), as a man named Brown, a cork cutter, was passing along Crutched-fri a rs, h e saw a parcel lying in the gutter, which, on being opened, was found to contain fifty-three Geneva silver watches. Brown lost no ti me i n convey i ng t h e property to the station-house in Tower-street, and delivered it to In spector Bradley, who sent a description of the watches to each of the station-houses, and then took them to the head office in Basinghall-street. There is ever, reason to believe that the wrapper had been a pocket to a *rest coat, and fallen off, as there are several stitches in At a late hour en the previous evening a foreign steam boat arrived at London-brid ge 'Wharf, and there is ,re,a son to suppose the prop er ty had been smuggled. ih e %lole o o ffi f etehre, anal thus hartf,rthe bpseeeriel seized b s thya Custom houseis extraor dinary affair,
