'the the ion, and carriage, will be in stain quo. If anything, our shipping will be advantaged, for the sugar would have to he brought from the remoter countries of China, India ; or Mexico. All this, however, is useless speculation, for we are persuaded that the only way in which the cul tivation of sugar will be entirely brought to an end is the way in which it was brought to an end in St. Domingo; viz., by refusing emancipa tion too long, or by granting it in a manner cal culated to create discontent instead of satisfaction and gratitude. In the House of Commons less, if possible ; was done than in the House of Lords: Lord EIRINGTON, with reference to the vote of the House of Lords on Monday night, asked whether his Majesty's Ministers intended to alter their foreign police, Lord PALMERSTON'S answer that they did not, must convince the Tories in the House of Lords how need lessly they have shown their teeth. They may bark and snarl, but should they ven ture to bite, they may perchance have a stop put to their powers of mischief. Sir GEORGE STAUNTON spoke for upwards of an hour, upon the subject of the China Trade, but was inaua dible in the gallery, and so little agreeable to the [ - louse, that at half past seven a sufficient num ber of Members were not left to form a House, and it was accordingly counted out. NEW BANK CHARTER BANK OF ENGLAND.-(THIS DAY The adjourned Meeting of the proprietors of Bank Stock took place to day, fir the purpose of further consi dering the measures proposed by Ministers for the renewal of the Bank Charter. The GOVERNOR stated that since the Court last met on Friday all the correspondence moved for by Mr. Baring in tie House of Commons, with the Court of Directors and the Government, had been printed for the use of the proprietors. The reason the previous letter of Lord Althorp bad nut been laid before the Court of Proprietors was that the Court of Directors thought, if it had been moved for in the House of Commons, it would not have been granted. Mr. YOUNG submitted that the proper course to pur sue in the discussion of the day would be to consider each of the points in the letter of the 2d of May seriatim. Mr HANKET thought the question ought to be gene. rally gone into. Mr. RANDALL JACKSON wished to know whether the Court of Proprietors were to take the letter of the 2d of M,y as the basis of their proceedings, or were to take into consideration the whole correspondence. The GOVERNOR said the letter of the 2d of May was to be considered as the sole basis of the discussion. Mr. WEEDING thought the whole correspondence ought to be taken into consideration, and was very much dis posed to listen to another speech from the Hon. Proprietor who moved the resolution on Friday last. Mr. LLOYD deprecate 4 the appearance of any difference of opinion in the Court of Proprietors. They ha I not met there to amuse themselves with discussions, but as men of business, to consider a subject highly important to the Bank and the country at large; and unless the Court proceeded to di cuss those:subjectstvalt una hitnity, as to the proper course of proceeding, what would the public think of them ? On Friday last the Court bad met for the purpose of considering the Government p'an for the renewal of the Company's Charter. On that occasion he had recommended to the Court of Proprietors to accede to the Government proposition, and had moved a resolution to that effect. To that resolution au amend ment bad been moved, that the consideration of the subject should be adjourned till the papers were granted. That having been the case, he could not permit the resolution, and the only one now before the Court, to be supplanted by any memo whatever. He trusted, therefore, the Court would keep its eyes fixed on the main point in view, and not allow itself to be led away by the sophistry of any Hon. proprietor. He only wished to o':serve that they were assembled, not so much for the purpose of debate as seriously to consider what were the alternatives left to them. The Minis!er of the Crown had recom mended what he thought they should adept, and the Court of Directors had recommended the Pro. prietors to adopt what was so proposed. Now what were the alternatives ? If they rejected the proposi tions, could they imagine that that would cause a proffer of more liberal terms?—(Hear, hear.) The only course then to be adopted would be, that a new company would be formed to carry on the business of the public now in the hands of this Company. With that company, then, they would have to compete, and it would be not only backed by the influence and power of the Government, but by that all-prevailing conviction that it was the birth of necessity.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Against such a competition he warned the Court of Proprietors. That was the question ; and he would therefore recom mend that gentlemen in the discussion of it should remem. beri the valu able time of those who were now (Heir, hear.) Mr. HANKEY was of opinion that the most beneficial objects had then obtained by an adjournment of the dis cussion, for it had given gentlemen an opportunity of weighing the objections to the propositions of Govern ment, and it had also given an opportunity for an ample publication of the proposed measures. He thought also it would have the effect of creating an unanimity of feeling in favour of the motion before the Court. He was of opinion, that the plan and its details had placed the Com pany, the Government, and the country in their proper stations. He, for one, would have been content to have come to a conclusion at once, founded on his confidence in the soundness and judgment of the Court of Directors. He would, however, make two or three general observa tions which seemed necessary to him, impressine, on the Proprietors the propriety o adopting the resolution before them, and he hoped their opinion would be unanimous. He could not regard this as a mere isolated question. He could not but see that the Bank of England was, as it were, the very centre of the commercial interests of the country ; and he was of opinion that the present condi tion of the Company was the product of its commercial gain, and that its station had been given it by a concate nation of circumstances which no human foresight could have foreseen. But whatever had been the advantages to itself, it had returned due advantages to the country at large.—(Hear, hear.) The Bank of England never vio lated the public trust, or made an ill requital for the con fidence reposed in hatever evils were complained of bad arisen from their being forced on it by circumstances which could not have been controled. In reference to the re newal of the Charter, it was clear that the Government had had every opportunity of well weighing and digest. ing every point of importance he• ween the contracting parties; the affairs of the Bank had been made fully public, and on one side and on the other the public benefit had been duly considered in making the proposi tions. They knew teat many wild speculations had been proposed, and that public expectation had been directed to the subject in a very high degree, and therefore the Go vernment had hid before them all that science could devise coupled with that great monitor and guide—experience. (Coughing.) Tee sole object to be obtained was at sound metallic currency ; the basis of all sound currency must be metallic, and when any other aid was called in, it must be reduceable as far as possible to a metallic currency ; a paper currency could only be a representative one.— (Here there were several interruptions by shuffling of feet and coughing, which continued to stop the lion. Speaker at various i n t erva l s , unt il at l ast h e sat d own, express i ng his cordial concurrence in the resolution before the Court.) Mr. SELWYN could not permit himself to give a silent vote in support of the proposition inade by an Honour. able Proprietor on Monday last ; but, in going through all the propositions of Lord Althorp, he could not go the length of the Honourable Mover of the re solution, who appeared to him to have viewed the subject more with the overweening fondness of an impas sioned lover than of a careful and c insiderate Bank proprietor, " She has no faults, or I no faults can see," appeared to he the prevailing*entiment of the Hon Proprietor. He would then at once proceed to the first point of the proposal, which was the renewal of the Charter for twenty one years. He thought that the worthy gentleman who proposed a resolution on Friday (Mr. Lloyd), seemed to have forgotten that that part of the plan was clogged with a condition which was altogether new, viz., that the Charter might be put an end to at the end of ten years. Now, in former times, the Charter was renewed for twenty-one years, unconditionally ; and he was sorry that the Directors had not pressed that point on the atten tion of the Government. He then came to the exclusive privileges of the paper circulation. Now it was admitted on all hands, that the circulation would be much extended oy the proposed system, and be sincerely trusted that the proposed publicity of accounts would act as a safety valve, and would be eo adjusted, that it would relieve the country from any danger in the management of that ex- ;,,~_ tended circulation. The next point for consideration wa , the making the notes a legal tender. It had been s .irl that great inconvenience would arise in towns where the Bank had no branch, from this part of the plan; but he did not see that there was much danger of that, for th country banker would be obliged, for the convenience of his cus tomers, to keep a quantity of gold in his coffers, so that people would not lie obliged to send up a 51. note from Cornwall to London in order to get it minced into gold. He then came to the Usury Laws. In his opinion a mo dification of those laws would be a great national benefit j for people who were in want of money would get it at whatever price. That now brought him to a more serious point in the plan--.-the price that the Bank was to pay for their exclusive privileges.—They were to be paid twenty-five per c-nt. of their capital at that rate, which was worth at least 50/. That lie did not consider falr•, though it was said that the other seventy-five per cent. would so rise in value, from the nature of the plan, that they would be no losers. Then again Government were about to take from the poor pittance at present allowed for the management of the national debt, a sum of 120,0001.: if that was carried ihto effect the Bank would then be doing the business at a loss of 80,000/. per annum, exclusive of the one per cent. that Government had upon the capital which was given them at three per sent. which they would otherwise make four of. He referred to the figures in the appendix of the, printed papers, and he found that the present allowance was 242,2731., while the expense was 164,1631., and in addition to that, the average loss of the last 10 years was 40,0001. Some Gentleman said that was swelled by the forgeries of Pauntleroy, but he was not the first scoundrel by wh om the Bank had lost, and probably would not be the last, therefore, he thought, he had a right to take the average at 40,000/. When the 120,0001. was dedtlcted, there would, therefore, be a dead loss to the Bank of 81,0001., and some were even not pleased with that, but said that the Bank should make a present of the whole sum ; but those who talked of the immense profits of the Bank • should take into consideration the enormous risks which they ran. He declared if he had read the evidence given before the Committee, before he had bought his stock, he would never have had a right to address that Court. A PROPRIETOR said that since they had met last he had bad an opportunity of reading the speech made by L ,rd Althorp, on the subject of the Charter, in the House of Commons, and he thought that no person could read that speech without being convinced that it came from one who had paid very great attention indeed to the subject. In his opinion the whole subject for the Court to consider now was, in what manner the Court was interested. In his opinion the Court was not interested in the question whether the ustny laws should be paid, or whether the Bank of England notes should be a legal tender.—( Hear, hear, hear.) That was a subject more for the consideration of the Legislature than that Court. For his own part he would not so far com mit the Court, as to advise them to recommend that their notes should be made a legal tender. He thought it would be unwise in them to do so, as it would tend to increase the distrust of the public. Such a measure would be making the whole property of the country de pendent upon the solvency of the Bank, and it was notorious that it had several times verged upon in solvency. In the year 1797 it was notorious that the Bank was nearly ruined. In 1825 nothing but the most fortuitous circumstances prevented it from being drained of its last guinea. The point alone in I.is opinion upon which the Bank Proprietors were in•ere•red, was as to the sum they should pay for their Charter, and whether the exclusive privileges they were to enjoy were adequate to the sum required. Certainly if the Charter was re newed, s )me consideration must be given ; but whe ther that consideration should be 100,000/. or 120,0001., was hardly worth the consideration of that Court.—(Hear, hear.) Then came the point as to the return of capital. Now, that did not appear to be clearly defined, either in the speech of Lord Althorp, or in any of his letters which had been read. The capital belonging to the Proprietors, and the debt due from the Government, were distinct things, and he thought that the Proprietors could not have any reason to complain of the conduct of Government paying part of the debt that was due from them, as it did not follow from that that the capital of the proprietors would be reduced. If Government paid off one quarter of the debt due from them to the Bank, the proprietors might invest that in Exchequer bills or other stock, and they would then receive that dividend which they now received of three per cent. from the Govern ment. Looking to the Acts of Parliament, another question of considerable importance, and which seemed to have been overlooked altogether, occurred to him. The Act that passed in 1816, provided that three millions of the debt due from the Go vernment to the Bank, should be paid on or before the Ist of August, 1833. If that Act was not re• pealed, Government were obliged to pay on that day the amount he stwed. Now he wished the Governor to tell him whether Government intended to pay off the quarter of the fourteen millions due from them to the Bank, and also the three millions they were compelled to pay if the Act of 1816 was not repeated ? The GOVERNOR said that if the three millions wet e paid in 1833, Government would not undertake to re ceive Bank of England notes either at the Custom-house or Excise, but if it were not paid, they would under. take to do so. The same Proprietor said that it might be a very expedient provision, but unless the Act was repealed, Government were bound to pay the money. He would not, however, at the present monu'nt dwell upon the subject, as it is one for the consideration of the Court of Directors. With respect to the corre spondence that had taken place, the Governor and Deputy- Governor, of the 15th of April, concluded with the following observation ;—" The Court of Directors con sider the three first propositions as more immediately re. Luting to the general regulations of the currency, than to the pecuniary interest of the Bank ; ard the Court, therefore, beg that they may be considered merely in the character of suggestions offered to the Court for the consideration of his Majesty's Government." On the very same principle he would wish the Court to act. He would wish, then, to come to a resolution to throw the responsibility on Par liament and the Government, without committing them selves.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Proprietor, after deprecating the formation of banking companies, con cluded by proposing several resolutions consistent with the tenor of his speech. He proposed those resolutions with confidence for the consideration of the proprietors, as it would relieve them from all responsibility in the arrangement about to take place, and would not have a tendency to prevent their proceeding. Mr. YOUNG was of opinion, that neither of the two last speakers had spoken at all to the question before the Court. The only question was that which had been stated by Mr. Lloyd, in his address last Friday, and that was, whether they were determined to uphold the interests of the country as well as their own. If they injured one of those interests, they were sure of injuring the other; and he was sorry they had occupied so much time in discussing other mutters that were irrelevant to the matter in issue. He would now take the propositions of Lord Althorp in detail. With respect to the renewal of the Charter for 21 years, and the power of the Govern ment to terminate it at the end of 11 years, he thought that was very unjust ; it was saying, " If it is a good Charter for you, we will terminate it, but if it is a bad one for you it shall continue." There should he a reci procity of interest,—the Bunk should have a similar power over the charter to that of the Government. As to making Bank of England notes a legal tender by every one but by the Bunk and its branches, that was a ques tion that involved the security of the whole country-. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") All the property of the country was to be in Bank of England notes, thereby presuming, of course, that the Company was to be immaculate ; and Le highly objected to the proposition. Besides that, they must be the collectors of all the gold in the kingdom, and the consequence would be, they would have all the metallic currency of the country in their own coffers. That was investing the Bank with a power that would be most injurious to the public. If country bankers were not to be compelled to provide a metallic currency, how were the manufacturers of the country to be enabled to pay the wages?—(Hear, hear.) They would be put to a serious inconvenience for the want of a small metallic currency, and conse quently the Bank would be driven to an issue of small notes—a means, certainly, of incre .sing its respon sibility, and of course its difficulties.—( Hear, hear.) He also strongly objected to the proposed interference with the usury laws, as it would have a tendency to in duce persons to act indiscreetly. There was plenty of capital in the country, and any mar. could obt lin mo ney at 5 per cent. 'the proposition of Lord Althorp would induce speculatr n and consequent ruin, for many persons would wi•hdraw their capital from trade, and embark it for the purpose of obtaining usurious interest. The most experienced men in the city of London strongly objected to the measure. It was unnecessary as re garded the Bank, for they would never discount at a higher rate than five per cent., nor would they encourage distressed pet sons to ruin themselves. He had always been an advocate for publicity, but he thought it would be highly injurious to publish a quartery account of the Amount of bullion in the Bank ; he thought that to publish the amount of assets and responsibilities would be amply sufficient. He also had a great objection to the deduction by GlNerniiient of 120,000/. a year for performing the public business. Taking the propositions as a whole, he was opposed to them, and he hoped the Court would not agree to the resolution proposed by Mr. Lloyd, but that they would adjourn the discussion to an other opportunity, and then come prepared to consider the proposi , ions sBriaiim. (We shall give the conclusion in a Second Edition.) SECOND EDITION, Mr. R. jAcksotz protested m osten ; owey against. the principle which had ben advanced, that because the G vernment had made up their minds, therefore thefite of the Bank was sealed. It was forgotten that the Ministry had yet to tome before a free Parliament, and malt' them believe that the 7 rs was a wiye measure. As to the term of years tia;t: the Charter should continue, he wool] say, if the Bank wag conducted in the same mariner as they had done for the fist hundred ye they continued to serve the public as they had done. no Minister would dare to give the notice which they had the power to do. So far as the plan Was connected with the question of Country Banks, he would mentiOn the-, in order to support them, the Bank had decreased its bul lion to less then one million, and be supposed that the making of the notes a legal teeder, was for the purpose of preventing such another crisis. But he was not sure that the plan would do well. because it might ruin the B ink in three drys. Suppose a run was begun upon the country bankers, who would issue a whole host of notes, which again might come running in like a full tide, arid how they would be prepared for such a case, he was quite at a loss to hrriw. Then as to the three months' bills being freed from the Usury Lars, he read that clause with fear and trembling, for he though: they would open the door very wide to fraud, an.! they would be deluged with a sort of bills called in the com mercial world "kites," which would be the greater in number as the flyers of them were more d,sperate Such a proposition threw the reins upon the neck of one of the worst passions of hum in nature— avarice. As to publicity of accounts, he perfectly agreed in the propriety of a plan, and hoped that it would he left to the Directors and Government to select the mariner in which the publication should take place. The last point on which he would address the Court was the piyment of 25 per cent. of their capital, and lie lo ked at it in a view quite unconnected with profit. He thought the plan was bad, inasmuch as in place of enlarging the security to the public, which they ought to do, they were lessening it. He saw by the c,rrespond ence that the Directors had taken the same view of the matter, and all lie proposed was to leave them , again to press the matter upon the Goverment. The Hon. Proprietor then read a resolution to enable the Directors to prevail upon Ministers not to pay off 25 per cent. of their capital ; but said he should not press it unless it appeared to meet the approbation of wiser men than himself. Mr. LLOYD said that he did not see any necessity for altering the terms of his resolution. Mr. WEEDING said that he in the main approved of the original resolution. At present the Bank notes issued at branch banks were the only ones payable at those branches ; it was not to be suppos d, as some feared, that G ,vernment would attempt to alter their practice. The having to pay all notes in London would be no inconvenience, for although they might issue 10,000,0001. more of notes, they would receive securities, which would buy gold, for every far thing of it. The Honourable Proprietor feared, how ever, the consequences of the proposition exempting short bills from the operation of the Usury Laws. He proposed such an addition to the fourth resolution as would not leave it to be supposed by Parliament that the Bank approved of the abolition of the usury laws. Mr. LLOYD then rose to reply. In answer to what fell from Mr. Young, as respected publicity of accounts, he said that evidently that gentleman merely wished for publicity to know the profits of the Banks ; but he looked upon it on much higher grounds—the safety of the public, and the keeping of the Bank in a proper course. In deed, he was only afraid that a quarterly publication was nut calculated to quiet the public mind, and he hoped if it were found inadequate, the question could be opened again within the ten years. As to the usury laws, he would only refer the Court !o the evidence of Mr. H. Palmer and Mr. Norman, two of the best informed of the Directors. The only question, then, to be decided was, had the Direcors done right in saying, " We think with the plan you pro pose we can carry on the business of the Bank with satis faction to ourselves, and benefit to the public." The re solution which he had proposed (lid not in any way shackle the Directors in any furth, r discussion they might have the Government. The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud applause. There.were then loud cries of " Question," the amend ment was put, when not more than half a dozen hands were held up for it. The original motion (Mr. Lloyd's) was then put, and carried almost unanimously. The Collar then adjourned. CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 204 3 per Cent. Red B9 3 pet Cent.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) --, .1 IMPER ALPARLIAMENT THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Ur. SPEAKER took his chair at a quarter past twelve o'clock. Several Bills passed thrOugh various sta g es on the moticns Of ii6ri. Membets. Mt. OILLON pressented a petition from Linlithgow, pray ing for the immediate abolition of slavery. Also petitions ftom the lioyal burghs of ()range, in the county of /lane and Inverary, rgainst the kill introduced by the Lord Advocate, fin* reforMing the mode of election in Scdtch burglig. The petitioners complained that the qua lification clause was liked too high at 101., and prayed that it might be reduced to 51. iii the smaller burghs. They stated that if this Bill was to pass it would make the mode of election worse that it existed tinder the old systetn. The Hon. Member begged to call the attention of the English Members to this Bill. There seemed to be a gteat predilection in some quarters in favour of the 101. franchise, Which neither he riot the present petitioners could participate in. Mr. gAgliirtillEi presented a petition from Bruton, Castle_ Carp, signed by persons of elery class, against the Beer Bill ; also petitions thorn Taunton and seiveral other places in Somer_ setshite, against the Registration Bill, wind) Was to be brought forward this night. The Ron. Member cordially concurred in opinion with the petitioners; arid would give the Bill his utmost opposition whenever it came before the House.-.- (Hear, hear.) The system proposed might be of ad. vantage to great landowners, who were lti the habit of sending their deeds to conveyancers in LondOtl, btt to the small land proprietors it would be productive of the greatest inconvenience. Mr. BIDDCLPH presented a petition from Hereford, praying for a repeal of the malt tax. Mr. GLADSTONE presented a petition from the house. holdtrs and merchants of Portarlington, against the corrupt system of the corporation of that borough. He was not one who was desirous of breaking in upon established institutions, but as abuses would creep into those that were even the best regulated, it became necessary to correct them when they proceeded to a certain extent ; and he was quite positive that no corporation could stand more in need of cor rection than that of the borough he represented. Mr. LANGDALE presented petitions from Beverley, and another place in Yorkshire, against the Registration Bill. The Hon. Member entirely concurred in what had been said this morning already against the Registration Bill. He would not admit even that the proposed system would be advantageous to great land owners ; it would be attended with great incon venience, great expense, and great mischief to all. Why should persons in Yorkshire, who had been at the expense of erecting a registration office, with which they were perfectly satisfied, and after they had been at the expense of registering their deeds, be put to the inconvenience of registering again in London Mr. STRICKLAND supported the prayer of these petitions. He thought the measure uncalled for, and unwise. Having been a Member of the Committee last year, he had had the fullest opportunity of knowing and considering the circum. stances attending the introduction of such a measure.— (Hear, hear.) He was confident, if ever it were to pass into a law, the expectations of its promoters would never be realized. He could not help expressing his utmost asto nishment that it should now be proposed to bring forward the Bill in almost the identical terms of the measure that was pro posed on this subject last year. Whenever it came under discussion, it would receive his most strenuous oppo sition. Mr. CUR LEIS presented a petition for the removal of all civil and religious disabilities,—for the immediate abolition of slavery,—and praying that licensed victuallers might be re lieved from the house and window-tax, from parts in Sussex. Sir J. DALRYMPLE presented a petition from the Magistrates of Edinburgh, praying that an additional duty might be put upon ardent spirits. Also a pe tition from the merchants and inhabitants of Edinburgh, praying that a Committee might be appointed to inquire into the conveyance of the London, Bristol, Birmingham, and some other mails to Edinburgh, with a view to their being carried thither within a shorter period than they now are. Mr. GILLON, in reference to one of the petitions, hoped that if any alteration took place in the duties on ardent spirits, it would be by lowering them, instead of putting on any ad vance. He argued that low duties did not tend to increase but to decrease immorality. Mr. POTTER was of opinion that the lowering of duties on ardent spirits in England had had a most demoralizing effect. ➢lr. SCOTT presented a petition from Halford, respecting the Beer Bill, and for the better observance of the Sabbath. Sir It. INGLIS presented a petition from the archdeaconry and clergy of the Deanery of Bath, against the Irish Church Temporalities Bill. Mr. TYNTE presented petitions from parishes in Somerset, against the beer houses. Colonel CONOLLY presented a petition from Donagh, for the better observance of the Sabbath. Dr. BALDWIN presented a petition from a Presbyterian Chapel in the city of Cork, praying for the abolition of colo. nial slavery. Mr. F. O'CONNOR supported the petition. Sir It. FRANKLAND presented a petition from the wine and spirit merchants of Hurst, in favour of extending the re lief of a diminution of taxation to the licensed victuallers. Mr. STRICKLAND supported the petition. Mr. F. O'CONNOR said, as his motion the other night had not produced any advantageous result in causing the Members of Government to attend during the presentation of petitions, he was determined, on every opportunity of their non-attendance, when there was not a sufficient number of Members present, to move that the House be counted. He did so on the present occasion. The SPEAKER suggested that he should withdraw his motion till after a Member who was in attendance had taken the oaths. Mr. PENRUDDOCK then appeared at the table and took the oaths. After which Mr. F. O'CONNOR again moved that the House be counted, when, there not being twenty Members present, the House adjourned at half.past one o'clock. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. New York Papers, to the 12th of May, and Quebec and Montreal to the 4th of May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The New York Papers contain the following account of an outrage committed on the President by the pulling of his nose : " This was the day, as the newspapers have notified, when General Jackson had to repair to Frrdercksherg, fur the purpose of laying the first stone of the monument to the mother of Washington. At the usual hour for leaving the boat, 10 A.M., the President, accompanied by the official cortege, reached the wharf, and was in the act •f stepping on board, when Lieut. Randolph, who you are aware has recently been dismissed from the Navy, rushed through the crowd, and, suddenly approach ing the President, seized hint by the nose, and rung it with so much vio'ence that the blood started It is said that such was the confusion that prevailed, that no molestation was offered to Lieutenant Randolph, and the boat being pushed off from the wharf, the President and his retinue were borne awry before any one had an opportunity of ascertaining either the physical or moral effect which the outrage had produced upon him. Every one asks, what will be done with the aggressor? General Houston assailed a member of one of the branches of Go• vernment and injured him seriously, for which he was lined 500 dollars." The Montreal papers state that a rumour prevailed that the Attorney and Solicitor-General of Upper Canada have been dismissed from their offices in consequence of the recent political discussions ; but this report is not entitled to credit. Accounts from Ilavannah of the 10'h April state, that the cholera had entirely ceased in that city and suburbs. The funds are rather on the improvement this morning. Consols, which left off yesterday :it 891 I for the Ac count, opened at 89i, and soon after were done at 90. At present they may be quoted 89i to 90, with little doing. Ministers have given notice that they intend to pursue the same system of foreign policy as before. We have an arrival from Lisbon and Oporto. That from Oporto is of an old date. The information from Lisbon has not as yet transpired. In the Foreign market little doing. HALF-PAST ONE. Nothing official has transpired as yet of what the Druid frigate has brought from Lisbon and Oporto. AU that we can learn is, that she fell in with Captain Napier and his steamers off Vigo. It is said that Earl Grey's visit to the King this (1,,y is to tender the resignation of Ministers, if his Majesty will not grant a new creation of Peers. This is only com mon report. Consols, which were, in the early part of the morning, 89i, have improved to 94 7 1- for the Account. This rise is attributed to the shutting of Consols this day, with a scarcity of Stock. In the Foreign Market, all Securities have also improved. We do not hear of an Express from Paris in the City as yet. THREE 0' CL 0 CR. Consols f it the Account 90k -I.

The brilliant manner in which Epsom Races " wen off," and the continued fineness of the weather, 1.11 us t o anticipate a similar result at Ascot, where the most in viting scenery and the presence of Royalty are added to the ordinary inducements of racing ; everything, in fact, combines to render it the most attractive of Meetings.— Our expectations, formed on good grounds, have not been di'appointed; on the contrary, they promise to be mt re than realized. On making inquiries in town we find that by Monday morning every horse was engaged at Newman's and other great posting establishments, and many envie- men were put to their shifts to get to Hounslow. At this place, where an immense number of horses are kept, up wards of twenty carriages were seen waiting at the same time. The traffic was not confined to posting, as gigs, taxed carts, &c., were en route till three o'clock in the morning. At Windsor, owing ta the extent of accommo dation provided, there was less difficulty in procuring beds and stalls than formerly. Owing to this, and to a spirit of rivalry, the charges have been reduced within moderate bounds. At the Castle, the preparations, for some days past, have been on a grand scale, the party invited by their Majesties for ►he race week being considerably larger than usual ; their names will be found below. In the pro gramme of the week, or the general arrangements on the Heath, we see nothing in the way of change or falling off, unless it ► e that we miss the hearty face of old Townsend at the usual station near the Royal Stand. It ie gratifying to find that not only is the meeting at present in a prosperous state, but that the prospects for futurd years are of the most flattering description. At the dinner given by his Majesty to the Jockey Club, last week, several races were made. To the Cup for next year about twenty noblemen and gentlemen subscribed ; and sixteen to a Produce Stake! of 10Q sore. each, both of them remaining open for further subscriptions. The int:rest expressed by the King, and the zealous manner in which it is seconded by the higher class of sportsmen, cannot fail of insuring the lasting prosperity of these popular races. About half-past one the Royal party arrived on the heath, in nine open carriages, with the customary atten dance of outriders. In the first carriage were— The King and Queen, the Duke of B runswick, and the Duchess of Buccleueti. In the others were, the Prince George of Cambridge and his tutor, the Rev. Mr. Wood; Duke of Dorset, Duke of Grafton, Earl of Errol, Earl of Albemarle,. Lord Denbigh, Lord and Lady Frederick Fitzclarence, Countess of Errol, Lord Adolphus Fitzt'ltifence, Baron Bulow, Major Bause, Sir Philip and Lady Sidney, St Andrew Bar. nard, Sir Frederick Watson, Lady Westmeath, Miss Eden, and Miss Boyle. The reception of their Majesties was respectful, with out betraying any of that enthusiasm which we have been accustomed to observe on former similar occasions: Be sides these illustrious and distinguished personages tnzre were present— The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, Duke of Rutland; Duke of Portland, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Mar quis and Marchioness Clanricarde, Marquis of Worcester, Earl and Countess of Belfast, Earl of Jersey, Earl and Countess Wilton, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of Stradbroke, Earl of Lich field, Earl and Countess of Maryborough, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord John Fitzroy, Lord Lowther, Lord Villiers, Lord Ra. nelagh, Lord Charles Wellesley, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord A- Conyngham, Count Bathyany, Sir M. Wood, Sir L. Glynn, Hon. Gen.and Mrs. Grosvenor, Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Anson, Hon. B. Craven, Hon. Captain Rous, Col. Chaloner, Col. Peel, CoL Standen, Capt. Byng, Capt. Hunter, Capt. Gardnor, Mr. Greville, Mr. J. Mills, Mr. Stonehewer, Mr. Batson, Mr. Shard, Mr. Massey Stanley, Mr. Sloane Stanley, Mr. Thornhill, Mr. Payne, Mr. Cosby, Mr. Irby, Mr. M. Campbell, &c. The above lists contains only a swill portion of the company ; the attention necessarily taken up by the racing preventing our making it more complete. Their Majesties remained on the Royal Stand till nearly half-past five o'clock, at which time they left for the Castle with the same retinue that accompanied them to the Heath. It is understood that the royal visit will be re peated on Thursday, but not on any other day. We subjoin particulars of ti e runnirg, wbich did not termi nate till six o'clock.

Protocol made first running at a moderate pace, Datura lying next him, Byzantium third, and Lucetta last.

FACTORY COMMISSION.—It is much to be regretted that, owing to the low tone in which L ot d ALTHORP spoke on Monday night, in reply to Lund ASH LEY, on the subject of the Factory Commissioners refusing to avail themselves of a sworn short-hand writer, an ad mission highly creditable to his Lordship and the Govern ment of which he is the organ should have escaped the re vorters. We have authority tor stating that Lord ALTHORP thus expressed himself :—" I have no hesitation, in answer to the Noble Lot d, to state that the Commissioners ought to have availed themselves of a short-hand writer." The general impression therefore of the House was, that the Commission was utterly destroyed.—Times. Between one and two o'clock on Friday morning, the windmill at Hummer, near Basingstoke, was discovered to be on fire by some person p.asing on the Southatupcon.road, who immediat e ly hastened to the village, and gave an alarm. In the mean time, the flames spread very rapidly, and notwithstanding . the must ext ra . ordinary exertions on the part of the Inhabitants, the whole building was in a few hours entirely co nsumed. There is no doubt whatever that i t was purpos e ly set on fire, and that the miscreant !who, a tow Weeks since, occa sioned a similar devastation in the same village, and who, notwithstanding the employment of the most measures for his apprthen.ion, is still at large, has .gain been at his horrid wori:simSalisburg Journal.
