For spices there was not much l i t : e c i e °irY, and mace is rather cheaper. Rum has in more request, and tallow has ruled quiet. The Paris Wool Market, which has been so eo ' i ve during the last few months with some ap prehensions amon gst the manufacturers of a scar (lt3" of supplies, has resumed its usual steady ap pearance, and the high prices are beginning to l eee de.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. Lord DENMAN called the attention of their lord ships to the misrepresentations and unwarrantable state ments of the press of the metropllis generally, and of a leading journal in particular. He was made the subject of vituperation, especially when he came forward to con tradict a statement made by that journal that Lord nokeby was unfitted for that position to which he was appointed in the Crimea. He did not care what the press might say of himeelf, but the system of misrepre• sentation and vituperation was operating most injuriously to the interests of this country in America, France, and the continental countries generally. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord then quoted extracts from the American and, French papers in support of his asser tion, and also read portions from the recent work of M. Montalembert with the same view. He trusted that the press would take warning, and that the good sense of its conductors would induce the adoption of a more discreet and truth-telling system. DRAFTS ON BANKERS BILL. On the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE, this bill was read a second time. MURDER BY WOMEN. Lord ST. LEONARDS asked her Majesty's Govern ment whether it was their intention to bring in a bill to abolish the punishment of death in cases of murder by women. The noble and learned lord said he was in duced to ask the question in consequence of the recent unaccountable and inexplicable intervention of the Crown's prerogative in favour of two women that had recently been found guilty of the most dreadful mur. den. The one was the case of Celestina Somers, and the other was equally well known. If it were not the intention of the Government to introduce a bill, he wished to know whether it was intended to advise the Crown to exercise the prerogative of mercy to all cases in which women were the offenders. Earl GRANVILLE said that the Government had no intention to introduce any bill on the subject, nor to advise her Majesty to exercise her prerogative of mercy in all cases where women were the offandera. In the two cases referred to the prerogative had been exercised in consequence of certain extenuating circumstances. Lord CAMPBELL was much pleased to hear the noble earl declare that the Government had no in tention, as was suggested, in respect to cases of mur der by women. In his opinion the practice of canvassing for the exercise of the Royal prerogative in all cases of murder was most mischievous, and calculated to produce tha most injurious consequences. In reply to a question from the Ent of HARDWICIEE, Lord GRANVILLE said he was unable at the pre sent moment t 6 give any decisive information respecting the building of an hospital in the Southampton water. HAY AND STRAWOILt. This bill, after a few verbal amendments, passed through committee. [LEFT SITTING.] sailed from New York on the 24th ult., and has not brought any confirmation of the report brought by the former packet. (Hear.) lam not in possession of any official information on the subject. (Hear.) SUNDAY MUSIC IN THE PARKS. Lord LOVAINE withdrew the notice he had given for calling the attention of the Louse to Sunday music in the parks. He did so from information he had re ceived that the feeling of the public was subsiding on the questior, and that if ho reopened it, it would be pro ductive of increased irritation. SLIGO ELECTION. In answer to a question from Mr. EUNCOMBE, and after an explanation fram Mr. G. BUTT, the Chairman of the Sligo Election Committe, The ATTORNEY•GENERAL for IRELLN D said he declined to proceed against Edward Killoran and James Ward for perjury in conformity with the report of the committee.

WOOD said he hopedallthe troops would leave the Crimea by the 30i1 July, ships of war would be em ployed in that service. [LEFT SITT[NG.J LONDON GAZETTE--(This Evening.) FOREIGN OFFICE, MAY 23.

Yesterlay was issued a return to an address of th House of Commons, for a "copy of correspondence be tween the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Furst Lord of the Treasury, on the suppression of music in Kensing ton-gardens on Sundays." The correspondence is as follows : "The Archbishop of Canterbury to Lord Palmerston. " Lambeth, 10th May, 185 G. "My Lord,—Your lordship mast permit me to address you on a subject on\ which I ought perhaps to have com municated with you Sooner, but on which I can no longer he silent, either on my own account or on that of many of my episcopal brethren, who are appealed to very ear nestly respecting the Sunday music in the park. " It is with much rebictance that I interfere in a matter which has the sanction of her Majesty's Government, and in which a large class of persons is interested whom we should be most unwilling to deprive of any harmless gratification. Bus the letters and petitions which reach tile daily, and call for an expression of my opinion either in Parliament or elsewhere, make it impossible for me to conceal from your lordship the feeling with which these performances are regarded, and the offence which they occasion to a large and influential portion of her 11Ma j4sty's subjects. These consider the question as to their continuance or diecontinnauce a vital question as con cerns the national religion. " Concurring as I do in these sentiments, I feel it a duty which I owe to my station to represent them to your lordship.—Fhave, &c (Signed) " J. D. CANTIJAR." "Lord Palmerston to the Archbishop of Canterbury. " Broadlands, May 10, 1856. "My dear Lord,—l received your letter of to-day, just as I was leaving London for this place. I concurred in the arrangements fa- performances by military bands in Kensington-gardens and in the parks for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon, after Divineservice, because I thought that those arrangements would afford the inhabitants of the metropolis innocent intellectual re creation, combined with fresh air and healthy exercise, and such recreation did not seem to me to be at variance with the soundest and purest sentiments of religion. Such was my opinion, and such is my opinion still ; for I have heard nothing on the part of those who object to these arrangements which has altered my view of the matter. "But I find from your lordship's letter, and from re presentations which have reached me fram other quar ters, that a great number of persons wliose opinions are entitled to respect, look upon the matter from a different point of view, and entertain in regard to it strong opi nions widely different from my own. " In this htata of things I am naturally led to ask my self, whether the advantage to be gained by a continu ance of these musical performances is sufficiently great to compensate for the evil of running counter to the religious feelings of a large body of the community ; and to that question there can be but one answer, namely, that it is nut. I shall therefore, in deference to the sentiments expressed by your grace, on your own part, and on that of others, take steps for discontinuing the band playing in Kensington-gardens and in the parks on Sundays.—My dear lord, yours, &c., (Signed) " PALMERSTON." OLD HAT.—The .Ectitern Argus tells about one of its its subscribers calling at the office wearing a hat which he had worn for the last forty years ? Of course, he did not wear it every day, but kept it for Sunday use, and wore it occasionally on holidays. It was still a good hat, and looked as though it would last forty years more. The owner said the changes of style made it a fashionable hat every five or six years. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH INA CHURCH.—On Tuesday Mr. Bedford, the coroner, received information of a snd den death which took place on Sunday morning last, at the Scotch Churph, Crown-court, of which the 11ev. Dr. Cumming is the minister. Mr. Pring, who resides in Brook-street, Holborn, a little before eleven o'clock, entered his mach, wien be suddenly fell back in his seat. Mr. Ransom, his son-in-law, supported him, and some of the deacons sent m essengers for a su rgeon, b ut not one was at home. He was immediately conveyed on a stretcher to King's College Hospital, where life was pro nounced extinct. He was 68 years of age. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY.—Thursday, June s.—Admissions on payment, 6,135; ditto, by season tickets, 587 ; total visitors, 6,722. ANOTHER BANK DISCLOSURE.--Another of these dis closures took place yesterday in the ice-Chancellor's Court on a petition for winding up the Cheltenham and Gloucestershire Joint Stock Bank. According to the petition the concern was established in May, 1 836. A Mr. Ridlor was the manager, and in January la s t th e directors discovered a considerable deficiency in the se curities ; and while the amount of the loss, which was shortly found to have swept away the whole capital of the bank, was still uncertain, they prepared or sanc tioned the presentation of a report to the proprietors re commending a dividend of 5 per cent., and stating that after its payment the profits of the half-year would leave a surplus. In extenuation of their conduct the directors seem to put forth the common ple a , th at t he y were n o parties to the delinquency by which the bank bad been ruined, and that the report in question wts concocted in order to prevent a sudden run, which would have in creased the embarrassments of liquidation. Their coun sel contended that their conduct had been "most wise and judicious ;" and, although the court could not ex press actual concurrence in this view, there appears to have been the disposition usual in all such cases "to avoid casting the least censure,' in any quatter.
