CITY, Two o'CL001:. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed very quiet, and without any change iu prices from the currency of Friday last. The sales amounted to between 4,000 and 5000 bales, all to the tr a de, including 130 P ernam and Maranham, 61d. to 7( 1 . ; 150 Bahia, Old. ; 30 Egyptian, 62d., and 300 Surat, 41. to sd. per lb. In the Liverpool Share Market there was an active demand for the leading stocks, at an advance of to 1 per cent. on the closing rates of Monday. The London and Eastern Banking Company has opened a b ranc h esta bli shment in Mark - lane, wh i c h is likely to prove of great service to the agricul tural, and other interests, whose business is chiefly transacted in that locality. As the t rans f er b oo k s a t t h e B an k o f E ng l an d will be closed to-morrow, it will, as usual, be ob served as a holiday on the Stock Exchange. A meeting of Messrs. Syers and Walker's credi tors has been held to-day, when an offer of 4s. in the pound was submitted. After a long discussion a committee of five gentlemen was appointed to in vestigate the affairs of the firm, and to report thereon. The feeling was in favour of a composi tion, and the acceptance of the above offer is conse quent upon th e c h arac t er o f th e re p or t o f th e com mittee.

UNIVERSAL 'SUFFRAGE IN FRANCE. "Anlo-Norman," in writing to the Morning Advertiser, "Ys :—" The accomp!ished Jesuit, M. de Montalembert, has been much praised for condemning the judgment of the Court of Caseation, which has decided, in accordance to the will of Louis Napoleon, that citizens are not to be allowed to distribute voting cards for any except Govern ment candidates. There may be very little use in having the right of universal suffrage acknowledged if people are not allowed to exercise it ; bnt the difference between M. de Montalombert and Louis Napoleon is merely this : Louis Napoleon, while pretending to concede universal suffrage as a principle. withholds it in practice ; while M. do Montalembert would neither allow it in principle nor practice. He therefore, in fact, agrees with Louis Na poleon where ho pretends most to condemn him. Like M. de Montalembert, oar oligarchy at home--both Whig and Tory—when out of office, are very prone to condemn others for not doing those things which they themselves would be the last to carry into practice, had they place and power." MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat in to-day's market was very moderate. For all kinds we had a steady demand, and Monday's prices were fully supported. The business doing, however, was limited. There was a fair inquiry for foreign wheat, the supply of which was good, at very full prices. Floating cargoes of grain were held for more money. Barley and malt changed hands freely, and late rates were well supported. There was a fair demand for oats, at full quotations. Beans and peas were inactive ; but flour was firm, and quite as dear as on MeT,dav• h linglish Iris Foreign 1 11.11.1VALS THIS WEIL Wheat. I Barley.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. - The Leeds Improvement Acts Amendment Bill was read a third time. Several petitions were presented in favour of and against the abolition of Church rates, and also the Jus tices of Peace Qualification Bill. Mr. COWAN presented a petition signed by 122 ladies of Klinhurgh, married and single, which stated that on entering into the marriage state as the law at present stood they passed " from freedom into slavery," and they prayed that some alteration might take place in the present law, so that their own earnings might be protected and secured to them. THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. HAYTER moved that the house at its rising do adjourn till 2 o'clock to-morrow. _ _ The SPEAKER, in answer to questions from hon. members, explained that the house adjourned each day till half-past 10 o'clock the following day, and was sup posed to sit there, which enabled committees to sit when the house was up. The object of the motion was to prevent committees sitting to-marrow (Ascension-day) before two o'c!ock. Subsequently the motion was withdrawn, and the motion of Mr. FITZROY, that no committee sit to•mor• row, was carried. The house will therefore meet tomorrow at the usual hour. - . NEW WRIT. . On the motion of Mr. HAYTER; I% new writ was ordered for the county of Longford, in the room of Igr. R. M. Fox, deceased. DWELLINGS FOR LABOURING CLASSES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. BRADY opposed it on the ground that the prin ciple of the bill had not been discussed, and he moved that it be committed that day six months. Mr. KENNEDY secnnebt.d the motion. Sir %V. SOMERVILLE, who introduced the bill, supported the motion for gOing into committee; and ,:n doing so, he oaid that the present dwellings of the Irish poor were a disgrace'to a ciOilised nation. (Hear hear.) He was at a loss - to understind why he had met with so much oppcsition to this bill from Irish members. He bad introduced it with a . ievir of improving the dwel. : lings •f the Irish poor, which had been described by a traveller as being in Many instances worse than the wigwams of Indians. (Hear, hear.) Lord BERNARD was in favour of the house going into committee on the bill, which had been intro duced to remedy an acknowledged evil at present exiating in Ireland. The architect of the Dublin Exhibition had stated that one-tenth of the houses in Cork were unfit for habitation. Sir D. NORREYS said that the bill was not open to the charge of being an exceptionable measure, because there was a similar one in force in England. This bill was calculated to give great benefit to Ireland. After some further discussion, in which Mr. John O'Connell, Mr. Napier, Mr. Macguive, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Deasy, Mr. Magan, and Sir R. Fergusson took part, Mr. BRADY withdrew his amendment, and the house went into committee on the bill. Clause 1 was agreed to, after some verbal amend ment 4. Oa clause two being proplsed, a lengthened discus sion took place as to the length of tenantcy, during which Mr. Meagher moved that the chairman report progress. Mr. HORSMA.N refused to accede to such a pro position._ - Sir W. SOMERVILLE said without the house adopted a more f-peedy proceeding than the present it would be impossible to pass the bill this session—a course he should most deeply regret. Mr. KIRK opposed the reporting progress. Mr. KENNEDY suggested the withdrawal of the bill altogether, and the introduction of a more complete measure. The motion that the Chairman report progress was lost on a division, and the suggestion of the ATTOR NEY-GENERA for IRELAND, that the tenantcy shou'd be for one year or any less period, agreed to. Mr. M'MAHON moved another amendment to the clause, which he ultimately withdrew. Mr. BRADY moved the insertion of words in line 34 of the same clause, to secure proper drainage and water closets for the habitations. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said the word used in the bill was "sufficient," and h 3 thought that was quite enough. He should oppose the amendment of the hon. member. The house then divided when the numbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority against the amendment--121 Another amendment to the same clause was proposed. Mr. MAGUIRE moved that the chairman report progress and a&lc leave to sit again. Tue house then divided when there appeared— A 3 es—. 24 Noes Majority against reporting progress 135 It being now a quarter to 6, in compliance with stand- Log orlers, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. _ The Committee on the Church Rate Abolition Bill was postponul till Friday, with the view of fixing a day for the further proceeding with the bill. The Justices of the Peace Qualification Bill was oom• mitted pro forma, fur the purpose of introducing cer tain amendments. The other orders of the day were then disposed of and ;he house adjourned. The amount of gold brought by the Asia from New York is 91,0001., but it is understood to have been chiefly consigned on French account. We learn from Spain, that it is expected the recogni tion of Queen Isabella by Russia will be followed by the submission of a great number of Carlist Chiefs. The General Screw Steam Company have arranged for the payment of the 21. per share of returned capital to be made to the proprietors on the 7th of May.

The evidence of the petitioner closed on that day, and yes terday the evidence of the opposers of the divorce com menced. The most important witne=ses examined were— Dr. Conolly and Dr. Roscoe, who both deposed that it was a common delusion aneongst females to suppose they had been guilty of improper conduct in cases where no such thing could possibly have been the case. Servants were generally supposed to be the persons with whom they had been guilty.

WAR DEPARTMENT, APRIL 20. Lord Panmure has received , a despatch and its en. closure, of which the following are copies, addressed to his Lordship by General Sir Wm. Codrington, R.C.B. Sebastopol, April 15. My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit herewith, for your Lordship's information, the weekly report of Sir John Hall.—l have, Sm., • W. J. CODRINGTON, General Cominanding. The Lord Panmure,. Enclosure. Head-Quarters, Camp, Crimea, April 15. Sir,—The sanitary condition of the army continues highly satisfactory, and there has been a decrease in botk the mortality and number of sick this week. Since the furious snow storm of the 3d instant the wee ther has been gradually getting milder, and now nothing eouid be more delightful than it is. This favourable change in the weather has been marked by a decrease of chest affections, and a slight increase of febrile complaints, but none of them of any great severity, except in the Laud Transport Corps, where typhoid fever still prevails, and four oat of tho fatal oases of fever whisk occurred took place in the Land Transport Corps alone. Five were from fever ; Two from apoplexy, the direct effects of ,drunkenness; Five from affections of the lungs; Two from chronic bowel complaints ; One, a sudden death, from the bursting an aneurism of the aorta ; and One from the results of an injury of the howl receiTti in a drunken brawl six weeks ago. So that only twelve out of the sixteen are f virly attri butable to disease. The ratio of admissions to strength this week has been I'Bl per cent. ; deaths, to strength, 0.02 ditto ; to well, 3 . 87 ditto. Taking the whole force, the admissions to strength is all the hospitals, both general and regimental, have only been 2'19 per cent. Deaths, to strength, o'o3 per c nut. sick, to well, 5'31 ditto.—l have, Sze., J. HALL, Inspector-General of Hospitals. Gen. Sir Win. J. Codrington, K.C.8., Commanding-in• Chief. BANKING DISCLOSURES. —Some more banking di' closures, perfectly harmonious in their degree. with those of Strahan, Paul, and Co., the Aberdeen'. Bank, the Tipperary Joint-Stock Bank, the Westminsee r Im provement Commission, and the other cases of the kind by which the past two years have been distinguia have just been furnished during an examination in the Birmingham Bankruptcy Court of the surviving part, ner of the Lichfield Bank, which suspended at the c - a in meneement of the present year. The establishmte was in the name of Messrs. Palmer and Greene, ars 4 it enjoyed the privilege of issuing motes to the amens. t of 22,786/- Mr. Palmer died in 1850, and the Bank had since b een conducted b y Mr. Greene.

Smith, Payne. and Smiths, who refused to make advances. From 1850 to the 31st of December, 1855, Mr. Greene maintained his personal expenditure at the rate of 2,6501. a year—an attempted reduction having been discontinued lest it should excite Suspicion, and thus put a stop to the power of expendi• tare altogether. Here was a deliberate aye tem of living on property held in trust ; yet the law provide s no penalty for it. In the same way, the parties to the delinquen• cies of John Sadleir in the Tipperary Bank aa - e likely $0 avoid all inconvenience. In the case of the Weetnains the r Improvement Commis-ion and the Aberdeen B ank creditors are openly defied, and the same sys core- Win pre vails in a multitude of minor instances that dell ? . Under these circumstances the conclusion must be, either that Sir John Paul was a martyr, or that the scope of the criminal law should be greatly extended. {ADVERTISEMENT.I—The following ex t r aordinary cures w.lth out medicine of Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Flatulency, Cons.ti. pation, Nervous, Bilious, an d Liver Complain ts, Cough ,: Asthma, Consumption, and Debility, effected by Dn Barry's delicious health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, are not the least remarkable :—From the Dowager Countess of Castle stuart.— Cure 52,612.`—Rosstrevor, County of Dow. n, Ireland, 9th December, 1851.—The Dowager Countess of et tstlestuart feels induced, in the inter est of sufferin g hum anitl7, to state that Du Barry's excellent Ilevalenta Arabica Food Vfas cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indigestion, 'bile, great nervousness and irritability, of many years' stanclinw.
