None p f th em are of very great importance ; but there are few which will net interest some one or oth er of our commercial readers. We r e g ret, t h ere fore t h at t h e pressure o f Parliamentary and of h matter prevents us inserting the alterations 41 th e schedule at length. We shall, however, rio t i„ 'e tnose articles upon which the reduction or ginentation of duty has been any thing very fottt - , • nal• The duty on common canes of dif tep.descriptions is to be reduced from 11 . odd thousan ; thn w ees, tums, ar i d d 4 1.

Foreign ebony is to pay 4 t l future 5/. instead of 101. per ton ; but the Produce of the British possessions is only to Pay 3s.

The d uty on glue chipping . s, or waste of any kind fit I :, for making glue,is to be reduced fro m 201. ' Ol4 The next item calls for some remark. The aet ° n grapes is to be reduced from 201. p er f„, t ° s /. per cent. G rapes are at present imported ; 7 foreign countries only, but there was a rumour Co r very long ago of importing them from the e l' of Good Hope, and certainly we do not nl - ri e 'lye the thing to be impossible.

We tieh Y,remark gerally of other parts of the t er et de of the Bill, that although the in th:Bts of the colonies have not been upon neglected, there are cases in which th e y nave not been sufficiently considered. In fr o e ases of articles at present obtained solely get t4 t. for e i gn countr i es , it s h ou ld never be for ten that th ey ma y, p er haps, be obtained from of our offshoots.

To conclude the list of important alterations, the duty on foreign bees' wax is to be reduced from Si. per cwt. to 11. 10s. for unbleached, and from 41. 10s. to 31., if in any degree bleached. The duty on the same articles from our own possessions is reduced from 21. and 21. 10s. to 10s. and 11. The Parliamentary paper besides shows a list of articles to be omitted from the table of duties as obsolete, but which if imported are to be charged an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent., if manufac tured articles, and 5 per cent. if raw materials. We learn by a letter from Brussels, that Ge neral GOBLET had been appointed on a special mission to this country, to assist M. VAN DE WEYER in the conferences which are about to take place on the Belgian question, and that he was to receive yesterday his final instructions from the Belgian Ministry as to the extent of the concession which the Belgian Plenipoten tiaries are to be authorized to make. General GOBLET may be expected here on Monday. Lord PALNIERSTON and Prince TALLEYRAND have declined opening the conference until his arrival. Our correspondent in Brussels has been assured, from an official quarter, that the Belgian Ministry have resolved not to pay any larger sum to Holland than the 8,500,000 florins annually, stipulated by the Five Powers, and General GOBLET will be in structed to require that the payment shall not be retrospective, the Belgian Government having, since the treaty of the 24 Articles was agreed upon, been put to a much larger expenditure than that amount by the refusal of the King of HOLLAND to accede to the treaty. He will also, it is believed, insist upon an account being rendered of the operations of the commission of the sinking fund which were directed by the King of HOLLAND, and which are said to have produced great profits. Should this be refused, he will naturally have a right to as sume that the amount of profit stated to have been acquired has gone into the pocket of the KING instead of the public trea sury, and will require some diminution of the 8,500,000 florins as a set-off against such profit. On the point of territory, it is not likely that General GOBLET and M. VAN DE WEYER Will make any material concession, the Belgian Cham bers having pronounced very strongly upon it, and Great Britain and France having fully re cognised the claim, to which Austria has also agreed, subject only to the consent of the Ger manic Confederation. On the question of the navigation of the Scheldt, it is expected the par ties will come to a satisfactory arrangement. Our readers will bear in mind that, of the 24 Articles of the treaty of November, Austria has agreed to 23, reserving one only, that of territory, as stated above. Russia and Prussia _ . ratified the treaty, with the exception of three articles—those relating to finance, na vigation, and territory. In consenting to the preliminary treaty entered into recently, M. VAN DE WEYER made it a special condition that these articles should be subjects of mutual arrangement between Belgium and Holland—(de green grO. Thus the real discussion will be between the Dutch and Belgian Plenipotentiaries, although the representatives of the five Powers will formally confer with them. On twenty-one articles of the treaty of November they can aa b ree • on the other three they can only act as mediators, unless the obstinacy of the King of HOLLAND should compel Great Britain and France again to act as dictators. Lord ALTHORP last night moved the appoint ment ofa Select Committee to inquire into the Cal thorpe-street affair, and the House then adjourned at three o'clock. With the exception of two hours for dinner, the SPEAKER must therefore have been in the chair from twelve at noon till three the next morning. The House sits very nearly as late every night, so that the Speaker ship is no sinecure. The greater part of the Members of the House have not the same fatigue, for they do not attend, because the House will not hold them all,—an excuse which they are determined shall continue available. Mr. BULWER'S motion last night, for the production of papers respecting the measures pursued by Russia in her late interference with the state of Turkey, was withdrawn, Lord PAL MERSTON declaring that he " had full confi dence in the honour and good faith of Russia." His Lordship deserves the knout for this decla ration. Confidence in Russia indeed ! A man might just as well place his back against a bull rush, in the hope that such a prop might keep him from tumbling into a ditch, as trust to the pledges of the St. Petersburgh Cabinet for escape from an embarrassing position. The THELLUSON family, it will be seen, are to be relieved from the hardship of the position in which they are placed, the House of Lords having last night decided, by a" majority of 57 to 13, that the standing orders should be sus- pended. The Bill is to be read a second time on Monday next. ROYAL VICTORIA THEATRE. The performances at this elegant house have been very fashionably and fully attended during the week. The Stranger was performed last night with a cast, including WARDE, KEELEY, Mrs. EGERTON, and Miss JARNIAN. It was exceed ingly well performed throughout, and announced for repe tition with loud applause. Miss HYLAND, from Drury-lane, made her debut as Dr. O'Toole, in the Irish Tutor. The principal attraction of the evening (if we may judge from the half price) appears to be a new farce, written by Mr. Fox COOPER, entitled the " Spare Bed," which is lively and well acted. The smartness of the dialogue—the co micality of the incidents, and some well.directed hits at prevailing follies of the day make this farce highly entertaining. The author is greatly indebted to KEELEY and ABaorr—the former in an original part—that of a Tallow Chandler, and the latter as one Captain Ardent, assuming two or three disguises, in order to obtain the hand of the lady with whom he is in love. The interest of the Spare Bed is kept up to the last, and so broad are the jokes in it that the audience are convulsed with laughter from the beginning to the end. Miss SYDNEY sustains the principal female character with much ability; indeed, all the characters in it are well played. KEELEY plays his part in his own peculiar manner. The farce is likely to run, and we think Messrs. EGERTON and ABBOTT will have no reason to complain of the lack of patronage, if they continue to produce similar good pieces. E AST INDIA NAVAL SERVICES.—We are requested to state that the Naval and Military Gazette of Saturd ty, July 13th, will contain, amongst other interesting matters, a statement of the services of the East India Company's naval officers, comprising a history in abstract of all the engagements in which the maritime force has been concerned, from the earliest period of the Company's existence to the present time. This statement will be accompanied by the petition to Parliament grounded upon it, and praying for protection and com pensation to the officers from the injury which the Bill now in progress is likely to cause to their interests. The same number of the Naval and .Military Gazette will also contain communications on the following subjects, viz.—Abuse of Patronage in the Army Medical Depart ment—Naval Impressment—Local Rank of Barrack masters—Punishment of Criminals in India —Mutiny of the Nore—Moral Condition of the Russian Army, &c., &c.—Office, No. 19, Catherine•street, Strand.

East India Coffees are Is. to Is. 6d. per cwt. higher. All Foreign Coffees are looking firm. Fine Jamaicas have realized 117 s. to 117 s. 6d. per cwt. Woor..—An extraordinary demand has existed this week for Wool. The public sales have been going on during every day of the week, and will conclude to-morrow. The stocks being low, and the prices on the Continent having advanced, a most numerous attendance of buyers appeared at the sales, which began on Monday, and the prices realized were beyond any thing thought of by the importers. In the whole, not less than 4,200 bales of Wool were declared, consisting chiefly of our Australian Colonies, and of the new clip. Some of the Wools of particularly fine fleece went off so high as ss. to ss. 4d. per lb. The Australian Agricultural Company's Wool sold from 3d. to 6d. per lb. higher than their last sales, and taken altogether a rise may be stated generally of 40 per cent, on the prices realized last year. The finest fleeces first noticed realized prices about 50 per cent, higher. The Spanish Wools offered fetched 25 per cent. higher prices. The com petition for Wools was almost unprecedented, and the trade is expected to continue exceedingly firm. SPIcEs.-The monopoly so long enjoyed by Government in the Cinnamon trade of Ceylon has this week been brought to a close. The last sale on Government monopoly account has taken place, and 1,144 bales were offered at prices, which established an advance of from 3d. to fid. per lb. Mace has sold 4d. to sd. per lb. lower ; Nutmegs are firm ; Cassia Lignea is a shade lower. SALTPETRE.-About 1,900 bags of Saltpetre were offered and taken in at 38s. 6d. per cent. _ . . TEA.—The East India Company have issued their decla ration for September, and it amounts to 8,400,000 lbs.,or 100,000 lbs. more than :last sale. The increase is in Congous, and as there are 200,000 lbs. less in Boheas, these quantities have sold at Id. per lb. advance. Corrox.—The extraordinary demand that has sprung up at Liverpool, the advice of to.day stating the sales the day before yesterday at from 10 to 12,000 bales, at hd. per lb. ad vance, has caused much animation in the market here. The sales this week here have been large, exceeding those of this morning 7,000 bags, at from %d. to Md. per lb. advance. Ixnieo.—The Company's sale is proceeding briskly. The rise of 2s. to 2s. 6d. on Bengals, and Is. 6d, to 2s. per lb. on Madras is maintained. Up to this morning 3,200 chests have passed out of 6,200. 'Wm.—Fine Jamaicas are Id. per gallon higher. Proof Leewards are at 2d. per gallon. Cocoa.—The sales this week have established a rise of Bs. per cwt. and speculation is active. TALLOW.—The Market remains firm at 475. per cwt.

The French papers received this morning, state that Don Pedro's agents have left Paris to collect troops at the different depots of the Poles. Letters from Oran, of the 18th June, bring accounts of a sortie made from that town of 3,000 French, to disperse the Bedouin Arabs who blockaded the town, and cut off all com munication. After having succeeded, the French division returned again. The Gazette of Neckar states that symptoms of disaffection prevailed amongst the troops stationed on the frontiers of Switzerland. Hobart Town Papers to the 23d of February have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. We find by the Sydney Papers that Mr. Wentworth was about to proceed to England to prosecute the charges against General Darling. The Australian newspapers had ceased being published for the want of paper, until a supply should arrive. Considerable reductions were made, not only in the public offices, but also in the commissariat department. The Savings Bank at Sydney had offered to discount approved Bills at six months, or lend on mortgages at 10 per cent. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals of importance, with the exception of the estafette from Paris, which is altogether not without in. terest, if the information can be relied on. According to the information by the French papers, we ob serve that the French Government are on the qui vine, and as report says, are going to form an army in the Pyrenees, to watch the motions of the Spaniards, as well as to bring the affairs of Portugal to a close. From Belgium we have also information of some importance. It is stated that the King of Holland has made a new claim on King Leopold of twelve millions of florins, instead of eight mil lions, which, no doubt, will again procrastinate the final nego tiations for a peace with Holland. . . . In consequence of the petit warfare between two legislative houses, our Funds are become heavy.

HOUSE OP COMMONS. The SPEAKER took his seat at a quarter past 12 o'clock, at which time there were nearly 100 Members present. LONDON BRIDGE BILL. On the motion of Mr. Alderman WOOD, the London Bridge Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com• mitted. EAST INDIA COMPANY'S CHARTER. Mr. C. GRANT moved the order of the day for going into Committee on the East India Company's Charter Bill. Mr. EWART rose and moved a resolution, as an instruction to the Committee, to consider the propriety of admitting East India sugar and coffee, the produce of free labour, on equal terms with sugar and coffee, the produce of the West Indies, and to consider the propriety of giving facilities to the admission generally of sugar and coffee, the produce of free labour. Mr. WILBRAHAM said lie had also to move an instruc tion to the Committee, relating to the monopoly of salt in India, and its effect on the comm erce o f t hi s coun t r y. The SPEAKER intimated his opinion, that according to the present regulations of the House, they could not move those instructions at the morning sitting, as it would be investing themselves with a greater power than they at present possessed, which was to proceed with measures which had been sanctioned already by the House. Mr. HUME suggested, that as the proposed resolutions related chiefly to the customs' duties, he would suggest that it would be better for his Hon. Friend to move them as amendments to the schedule in the General Customs Bill.—(Hear.) The SPEAKER said, if the resolution were moved now, they might create an unnecessary discussion, for they could be moved as amendments when the House was in Com mittee. Mr. WYNNE and Mr. BERNAL were of opinion that they could he moved as instructions to the Committee. Mr. WILBRAHAM did not wish unnecessarily to take up the time of the House now, if the Right Hon. Gentle man (Mr. Grant) would assure him of an opportunity of bringing forward his motion at any other stage of the measure. Mr. ROBERT GRANT said, if the Honourable Member were disposed, he could move his amendment when the Committee arrived at the fourth clause of the Bill. He thought, however, it would be inconvenient to occupy the time of the House upon the revenue of India. The subjects embraced in the resolutions had been under the serious consideration of Government ; but the Bill did not affect the revenue of India—it left it as before. Mr. WYNNE again contended that the instructions could be moved, for the House bad always exercised the right of giving mandatory instructions to a Committee. After some further observations from Mr. EWART and another Hon. Member, The SPEAKER said, the only mode for the Hon. Member to adopt was, to give notice of his intention to make a motion, that when the House had under discus sion the General Customs Bill, the House should then resolve itself into Committee, with a view to the altera tion of the duties. Mr. EWART then withdrew his motion. Mr. WILBRAHAM also withdrew his motion re lating to the monopoly of salt in India, on the same account. The House then went into Committee. Sir ROBERT INGLIS expressed his satisfaction that his Right Hon. Friend opposite, and his Majesty's Mi nisters, had preserved so much of the mode of govern ment, and detail of management, with ref.rence to one of the largest civilized empires the world had ever witnessed. The Bill bore sufficient evidence that his Majesty's Go vernment was satisfied with the merit and system evinced by the East India Company. He also declared his satisfaction with the whole progress of the correspondence between the Government and the East India Company, and that it had led to such modifications as appeared reasonable to both parties. There was, however, one point omitted in the Bill, to which he would take leave to direct the attention of the House. The Government had provided that there should be a Commission established to superintend the law; but there was no commission provided for to procure the abolition of slavery. This it was most necessary to do, for there could be little gained by experience on the ques tion of West India slavery, which was so dissimilar to that of the East Indies. He apologised for rising on the first question, as he should feel it to be his duty to ask the indulgence of the House on future stages of the question; which indulgence be hoped would be conceded to him, when the House bore in mind, that when the question was last brought before the Government, it was peculiarly under the consideration of one to whose opinion he felt bound, not by hereditary prejudice, but by conscientious feelings. He alluded to the part taken by his father (Sir Hugh Inglis). Mr. GRANT suggested that it would be better to defer any discussion on the point referred to by the Hon. Gen tleman until the clause upon which his recommendation mightbe moved came under the consideration of the House. Mr. WYNN wished to he informed by his Hon. Friend whether any, and what alterations would be made in the Bill? He wished also to know if the management of the political government of the East Indies was to be vested in the hands of the same number of persons as at that time ? Mr. GRANT could not make any statement of what alterations would be made, if good reason were shown for making them. Of course there would be verbal al- terations a; the Bill went on in Committee. Mr. WYNN did not consider the answer he had re ceived such as his observations were entitled to. With out meaning any offence, he might consider that his Hon. Friend considered them to be unworthy of attention. He would, however, ask what were the views of his Ma jesty's Government with respect to the army ? Mr. CHARLES GRANT thought that the progress of the Bill ought not to be interrupted at the present mo ment by any discussion on this point, as he thought it would be better to take it upon another stage of the Bill, when several of the clauses that had no objection to them had been gone through. Great consideration had been bestowed upon the condition of the Indian army. He thought it would lie premature to enter now into the subject adverted to by the Right Hon. Member. Mr. HUME thought the Ist and 2d clauses of the Bill in volved the question under consideration. He was ready to admit that he was anxious to continue the government of India as it at present existed ; but he was unwilling to continue the Court of Directors as they were now consti tuted, and with the same privileges. . . . . Mr. R. TODD wished to know whether the Noble Lord (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) intended to make any alterations in the mode of transmitting bills to and from India. Lord ALTHORP slid not see any necessity for making any alteration in the present system. The preamble of the Bill was then postponed. After acme verbal amendments, the first clause was agreed co. On the second clause being proposed, Mr. HUME rose to object to the extension of the East _ India Company's Charter to the year 1854. He thought twenty years a very long period to resign the Government of India into the hands of the East India Company. In his opinion, public interest required that some break should take place in that period, and it was a question with him whether the House should not admit, as in the case that at the end of ten years it should be open to the Go vernment, if the public interest required to recall the Charter, it being impossible to say what events, political or commercial, might take place requiring the adoption of such a step. Under such circumstances he thought it would be better to leave the subject open. He thought the period of ten years a very fair trial, as the public in that time would have a very fair opportunity of seeing how far the management of the East India Company was consistent with the public good, and it would have the effect of put ting the Company upon the spur to act in the best manner they possibly could. Mr. C. GRANT said there was no expression in the Bill which could fetter the power of Parliament to inter frre excepting as to the point which the Hon. Gentleman had just alluded to. It was agreed on all hands that some term ought to be given, the question, therefore, wee, what term ought to be allowed? He thought ten years too small, because he agreed with the Hon. Member that much good ought to be expected, and he trusted that much benefit would result from this measure, and that the government of the Court of Directors ought not to be subjected to constant changes, which he was afraid they would be, if no longer term than ten years was allowed. But besides that, he thought there was another great objection to the shortening of the term, namely, that the East India government was so inti mately connected with the revenues of the country. They ought to be allowed a long term, in order to give them an interest in the revenues, and to secure a capital. Mr. HUAIE was afraid the Right Hon. Gentleman bad misunderstood him. He had no objection to continue it for twenty years, if there was a proviso introduced, that, at the end of ten years, Parliament should take the sub ject into consideration, if they thought fit. Mr. C. GRANT said it might be a principle of com promise, but he thought it right to inquire whether, under the present circumstances, such au arrangement might be made, without impeding the principle of th plan, which was to insure their durability. Mr. BUCKINGHAM was quite sure though it migh , be a subject of compromise, it would be right to ascertain whether that compromise was favourable. The questiot, of compromise appeared to him to be one which it woul. he very proper for the Government itself to entertain. I appeared to him that 10 years would be quite sufficient to give a feeling of durability, and if it was necessary two or three years notice might be given, before any further alteration in the term was made. Mr. C. FERGUSSON did not think there would be my additional security by adopting the clause. Mr. WYNN did not at all approve of the proposed arrangement. He thought it advis 'hie, instead of limit. ing any particular period of ten or twenty years, that n e term should be assigned, but that each party should have power to determine the agreement, on giving to the other a particular notice. The subject was one of immense importance, and involved the interests, not only of the commerce of this country, but also of millions of the in habitants of India ; and it was very material that the attention of the House should be recalled to it in a much shorter period than twenty years. Should they now vest the power of Government fora period of twenty years it would be impossible for Parliament to terminate the arrangement before the expiration of that long term, un less there was so gross an act committed by the Company as would justify the Attorney General in issuing a scire fucias. It was the duty of Parliament to take care that the public interests did not suffer, as he was sure they would by granting to the Company the long period of twenty years. If his proposal to fix no specific period, but allow each party a due notice to ter minate the arrangement were not agreed to, he should certainly vote for the shorter period of ten rather than twenty years. Mr. W. WHITMORE would also vote for the shorter period. It was of essential consequence to the in terests of this country and of India, that Parliament should not tie up its hands for so long a period as 20 years without reserving to itself the opportunity of revising and looking at the effects of the experiment which was now about to be made by vesting the Government of India in the Board of Directors. Mr. Macaulay said the term of 20 years was originally the proposition, not of the Government but of the Company. He agreed with the Hon. Member for Sheffield that the Ha use had a power to revise any arrangement which the Government had made; but he did not see why it should be treated as a nullity ; on the con trary, he thought strong reasons should be required before they set aside any patt of an arrangement founded on a negotiation of which they generally approved. It was suggested to him that the best criterion by which to know whether a country was well or ill governed, was the state of its finances—certainly that was so. Now if the Government of India was so bad as to throw its finances into confusion, so that they should require to apply to Parliament, then that would let in the whole question in the same manner as was done in 1773 and in 1784. Mr. MARJORIBANKS agreed with every sentiment that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Leeds. He did not wish to see India made a mere experimental Go vernment, and therefore he would oppose the amend ment. . Mr. LYALL said that, as a Director, it was impossi ble for him to recommend to the Proprietors that they should assign over the whole of their assets without having the Government of India secured to them for a considerable term of years. He could as sure the House that not one of the Directers wished to retain his seat for a single hour after it was found that they did not benefit both the people of India and England. One strong argument, however, in favour of the longer term would be the very great fluctuation in the value of the stock which would be consequent upon the frequent discussion of the question, by which many might be ruined who depended upon their stock. Sir M. W. RIDLEY would support the clause as it stood. When the House passed even a Turnpike Bill, in order to give a feeling of certainty to it, it fixed the term of 21 years, and surely in a question of such magnitude they would not depart from such a wise rule. Mr. G. YOUNG said the House was placed in an embarrassed situation by the turn the debate had taken, and the declaration of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Grant), that the House should bear in mind that this was a compromise, although they bad been before told that the delegation of the government of India to the Company for twenty years, was done upon principle only, and not upon any compromise. He for one was wholly at a loss to conceive, as the Company had lost their trading powers, what interest they could possibly have in having the Government of the country continued in theca.—(Hear, hear.) As to whether the period of the Charter should be ten or twenty years, it could not be argued that the greater period would better insure th payment of the dividends than if it were for only ter years. The payment of the dividends would be insured in either case; besides, as the debt was not wholly redeem able until 1870, the Charter would fall far short of that period if it were to be granted for twenty years..—(Hear.) He should support the amendment. Mr. GRANT said he had been misunderstood as to what he meant by a compromise ; all he meant to say was, that as Government might be supposed of taking too much on the one hand, and giving too much on the other, the measure had been founded on conciliatory terms. Sir R. INGLIS said, the question was, how could the Government of India be best conducted, and with regard to the interests of that country as well as of England ? As to the period, and whether it should be 10 or 20 years, he should prefer the latter, because if it were for 10 years it would be virtually only seven years, as the last two or three years would be occupied in discussing and agitating the question of renewing it ; so if it were for 20 year,, it would be virtually 17 years. Mr. WYNN, in explanation, said he considered that the whole political government was vested in the India Board ; and that the Board for the management of ship ping could only be considered a subordinate one, and was certainly not political in its exercise beyond affording a check upon his Majesty's Government. He would not subscribe to the perfection of the system that had been hitherto practised in India; for he could not f,rget that the natives and half castes were excluded from all employment in situations where they could be more effective than Europeans, and at a much smaller cost. This was a system the India Board could not per haps check ; and the House would now see whether the new system of employing natives and half-castes would be carried into effect, or whether the proposition had been merely introduced as a piece of declamation. Mr. C. GRANT also explained. Mr. FINCH, in supporting the amendment of the Hon. Member for Middlesex, felt certain that if the ques tion was brought forward at the end of ten years, every thing required for the interest of the public would be taken into consideration, and the honour of Parliament would not be compromised by any unfair act being com mitted towards the East India Company. On the ques tion being put from the Chair— Mr. HUME observed that it had been sug gested to him that it would be better to allow the clause to be filled up, and introduce his amend ment on the end of the clause. He should there fore, at the conclusion of the clause, propose an amend ment, to the effect that, at the termination of ten years, upon two years' notice, Parliament should be at liberty either to terminate the Company's Charter, or to take such steps to amend it as it might think proper. The clause having been filled up the Hon. Member proposed his amendment. Mr. R. GORDON was prepares! to contend, that for the good government of India, and for the proper working of this Bill, it was expedient that the Conn of Proprietors, and the Court of Directors, should hive a fixed term for the administration of India. The best security for the payment of the dividends would be the good management of the proprietors.—(Hear, hear.) The second clause already gave Parliament power to exercise control over the Court of Directors. Mr. ROBINSON admitted it was true, that this Bill, in its present shape, gave the Directors the govern. ment of India for 20 years, but the government would be subject to a species of control by Parliament, for Parlia ment would superintend the Board of Control. Parliament had the power at any time to repeal any law by the Gover • noes-General, and there was another provision —viz., that annual reports were to be made, which would enabla the House constantly to have its eye on the proceed ings of the Court of Directors, and without detaininv the House further, he would merely say that they would not let out of their bands the superintendence of the Board of Directors on so important a question as the future good government of India. After a few observations from Mr. CUTLAR FER GUSSON and Mr. WYNN, who were frequently inter rupted by cries of " Qustion," The CHAIRMAN stated that it was now nearly three o'clock, and that if the Committee did not proceed to a division before three o'clock, they would not be able to de vide upon it to-day. Mr. BUCKINGHAM supported the amendment of the Hen. Member for Middlesex.—(Hear.) In conclusion the Hon. Member suggested that during the con tinuance of the discussion on this Bill, the morning sit tings should continue till six o'clock , the House then adjourning for five hours, in order to afford Members qnPorfitnity r.f rati:n7, their d'ilue..-4Criesof )16;tin, and 012, oh.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) ♦RUNDEL V. DOTTIN ♦ND OTHERS. Sir EDWARD Suormx moved ex parte for an injunction to re. strain the defendants from selling out 16,0001. and a fraction, Dank annuities, standing in their own and other names, or from receiving the interest accruing due thereon. By an instru ment mentioned in the pleadings, four trustees were appointed to vest in and secure the amount of the purchase-money, arising from estates sold by the Duke of Buckingham for the Arundel family, a part of which was set aside to pay Lady Arundel an annuity, with a power in the instrument to Lord Arundel to appoint new trustees in certain circumstances in which event the old trustees were to transfer. A new ap pointment had been made, a bond to transfer had been tendered for signature to the old trustees, they had refused to sign it or to transfer, they had sold out part of the stock, they were about to sell out more, and hence the present application. The solicitor for the defendants happening to be in Court, submitted that an appearance having been entered, the plain tiffs were bound to give notice before they could move for the injunction. Besides, there was an appeal which the defen. dants were very desirous of having heard at the same time. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN said the appeal had nothing to do with the present application. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the injunction ought to go. The solicitor for the defendant then undertook that nothing should be done until Wednesday or Tuesday, when the defend. ants would have instructed Counsel, and on that undertaking the issuing of the injunction was directed to be stayed. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour, the MASTER of the ROLLS, was occupied the whole morning with petitions, none of which were of the least public importance. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Motions and cause petitions, of no general interest, occupied :he Court the whole day. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) THE ASSEMBLING AND DISMISSAL OF THE GRAND JURY. This morning the late Grand Jury of the county of Middle. sex attended the Court of Session, pursuant to a written re quest from the Chairman (B. Rcrrcu, Esq., M.P.). Owing to an informality in the swearing witnesses to the indictments at the late Sessions, it is already known that the business of the Old Bailey stands adjourned until Monday next, the 15th instant. The Judges directed that the Grand Jury should re.assemble in order to re-hear evidence in cases where the prisoners had not been tried, in order as far as possible to cure any defect which was likely further to impede the course of justice. Yesterday the Magistrates met, when they decided that the County Court had properly adjourned, and the Chairman was instructed to dismiss the Grand Inquest when they appeared to.day. The CHAIRMAN did so, and entered into a long explanation of all the circumstances connected with the case, and then told them that they were dismissed, as he had no charge to deliver. Several witnesses were present, and some from distant parts of the kingdom, and they became clamorous to know who was to pay their expenses. The CHAIRMAN said there was no Court, hence he was un able to make any order or give any advice. The Earl of Ripon was on the bench, and listened atten tively to the difficulty which was felt in the Court, in conse. quence of an error which the country Magistrates laugh at, and say that it is one which owed its birth to the Old Bailey, and the witnesses were recommended to apply there for their expenses. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY) Joseph Seed, who came from Yorkshire, by business a farmer, underwent a long examination by the Court, during which he stated that his property had been sold on the 26th o March last year, by public auction, when there were 100 bidders, but the whole of it, horses, cows, &c., were bought by one Timothy Wood. The proceeds of the sale having been soon expended on account of the illness of his children with the typhus fever, he obtained a letter addressed to a gentle man of the name of Smith, in London, who lived near the water, but whereabouts he could not tell, which he believed was a recommendation to get him into a brewhouse. Having failed in obtaining the situation, he was walking the streets of London, when he asked a gentlemen to direct him to a Yorkshire house, and was taken to the Crops Keys in Wood.street, Cheapaide, where he was much sur prised by two men shortly entering, who asked his name, and when he told them, took him of to prison. His detaining creditor was a person of the name of Webster, to whom he said he had sold a " horse and cart, which had since died ;" and who had arrested him for 87!. The COURT adjourned the case sine die, for the prisoner to produce Mr. Smith, who resided near the water," and the auctioneer's accounts. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.
