In the House of Lords, !ast night, some routine business was advanced a stage or two. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in consequence of the Report of the Select Committee on the Holyhead Harbour Bill not being yet before their Lordships, postponed till the end of the week his motion re specting the Chester and Holyhead Railway Bill. Lord MONTEAGLE and the Earl of WICKLOW thought these repeated postponements very hard upon -the promoters of the Bill, which ought to be allowed to pass. The Earl of DALHOUSIE announced it to he the in tention of Government, in the event of a direct line of communication being established between London and :Holyhead, to make a grant fur the improvement of Holyhead Harbour. • The lilarquis of CLANRICARDE thought the whole :subject ought to be referred to a Select Committee, :before thi s Bill s h ou ld b e a d opted, i n order that its .details :might be thoroughly investigated. It wa s essential th a t i mmed i ate and efficient provision should be made fir the formation of a proper harbour at Holyhead, and the Company should be bound t o con etruct a good bridge across the i‘inai. Lord ....RAILELGEt said the Co mpany intended to apply to Parliament for leave to build such a bridge. Lord BROUGHAM was averse to any departure from their Lordships' standing orders, in the case of a private Bill ; and thought it would be highly credit able to the House of Commons if that House of the Legislature would adopt those orders. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was also averse (though friendly to the progress of the Bill) to any such infraction of the orders of the House. The Duke of WELLINGTON, after briefly repeating the stages through which the Bill had passed, said that the Committee of the Bill, having reported that the line must be carried over the Menai, which could not be done by the present bridge, no special instruction to that Committee was requisite in respect of the new bridge which must be built. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE denied that there was any obligation on the Company, as the Bill now stood, to build a new bridge at all. The Bill, ultimately, was read a second time and ordered to be committed. The " Law of Libel Amendment " Bill was passed through a Committee and reported, and their Lord ships adjourned. In the House of Commons a variety of petitions were presented for and against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill—against the monopoly at present enjoyed by the Bank of Ireland, and praying for the adoption in Ire land of the Scotch system of banking, &c., &c. Lord JOHN MANNERS presented a petition, signed by several Members of the Established Church, for the convening of the convocation of the clergy. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, the second reading of the Bank of England Charter (Renewal) Bill was postponed till Thursday next. Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Sir GEORGE GREY, said it was the intention of Ministers to proceed with the Committee on the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill to-morrow. Mr. PETER BORTHWICK gave notice of a motion, to be brought forward at the earliest open day, for the production of any correspondence between Don CARLOS and her MAJESTY'S Government in this country, and Don CARLOS and the Government of France, having for its object the pacification of Spain. Mr. VERNON SMITH, Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, and Sir R. PEEL, offered several re marks on the Irish Registration Bill. Sir ROBERT declared that her Majesty's Government were very anxious to take the sense of the House upon it; and he would to-morrow fix a day for that purpose. He could not, at present, resolve the question of another Hon. Gentleman (Mr. M. J. O'Cornsnnn), as to when the remaining Irish Estimates (two only in number) could be brought on for discussion. Mr. M. GIBSON gave notice of an amendment he meant to bring forward on the reading of the pre amble to the Sugar Duties Bill, for abolishing a ll destinctive and differential duties imposed on sugars of various growths. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Mr. BORIHWICK, stated that propositions, but of an in direct and informal character certainly, had reached the British Government, with respect to certain pro posals of Don CARLOS, touching the Queen of SPAIN. Their substance was, that the latter should marry the son of the former. Although these propositions had been but indistinctly put, Don CARLOS in making them had not abandoned for himself and his son a claim to the throne of Spain. Our Government had immediately communicated his propositions to the Government of Spain. At the close of a conversation of some interest, in which Sir R. PEEL, Lord PALMERSTON, and Lord J. MANNERS took part, Mr. Bowritivlcx. said that, after all which had passed, he should continue on the book the terms of his motion on the subject. On the motion for the House resolving itself into a Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill, Mr. JAMES contended that the Bill had not been sufficiently discussed on the second reading, for the due information of the House upon its effects and tendencies. As one of " those unfortunate beings called West India planters," the Hon. Gentleman en tered upon a history of the hardships to which that body had been subjected, and the inequitable manner in which their property had been treated by successive Governments, in their desire to give effect to the rash projects of free traders and upstart abolitionists. He feared the case of the West India owners was all but hopeless. Mr. EWART vindicated the policy which had been pursued in respect to what his lion. Friend called the "rash projects" which he (Mr. EWART) had advo cated. The Honourable Gentleman concluded by moving, as an amendment, the abolition of the diffe rential duties, or the equalising all duties on imported sugars, without reference to the country where they have been produced. Mr. M. GIBSON supported the amendment. Mr. HUME and Mr. LABOUCHERE, though friendly to its principle, entreated the Hon. and Learned Gentleman not to press his amendment at present. Mr. VILLIERS and Mr. BRIGHT supported the amendment, and insisted that Government ought boldly to assign the reasons upon which they pro posed to confer this invidious favour on the West India interest—for such it was meant to be—of pro tecting their sugars by such a scheme of duties ? Mr. P. M. STEWART and Mr. GLADSTONE vindi cated the claims of the West India interest and the policy of the Government in regard to them. Mr. COBDEN, in an able and argumentative speech, supported the amendment. Mr. BERNAL, Lord Viscount SANDON, Mr. WAR BURTON, and Mr. MACLEAN, having severally ad dressed the House, the Committee divided, and the amendment was lost. Ayes, 56 ; noes, 259. Ma jority, 203. The Bill then went into Committee, pro forma. After which, a great amount of other business on the paper for the night was proceeded with, and at One o'clock, there not being forty Members present, the House adjourned. It ought to surprise no one if the infection of slavery—so long as that degraded condition of exist ence is permitted among any civilised and Christian nations—should be found still to pollute their most friendly intercourse with doubts and jealousies, fears, and suspicions. Perplexity and misgiving are the symptoms which bespeak the presence of this infection ; and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S new scheme of sugar duties is the test which has detected them. This scheme, our readers are aware, comprises two resolutions; whereof, the first provides that from and after the 10th November next there shall be charged on brown, Muscovado, or clayed sugar, " certified to be " the growth of China, Java, or Manilla, or of any other foreign country, the sugar of which her MAJESTY in Council shall have declared to be admissible, "as not being the pro duce of slave labour, per the hundred-weight, 1/. 145., together with an additional duty of 51. per centum on that rate." The second authorises her MAJESTY, from and after same date, to give effect, by Order in Council, to the provisions of any treaty now in force which binds her MAJESTY to admit sugars the pro. duce of a foreign country "at the same duties as are imposed on sugar the produce of the most favoured countries." As to foreign grown sugars, this altered and much dimi nished duty is assuredly equivalent to a large re duction of price ; and everybody must concede to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the truth of his statement—" that sugar has almost become a neces sary of life in this country ; that at all events it is essential to the health and comfort of a large portion of the people—and that it is, therefore, expedient that an ample supply of this commodity should be kept up." It must also be allowed, that whereas the maintenance of this ample supply was formerly se cured by legislative measures, from time to time passed for that purpose, previously to the emanci pation of the negroes in 1834—that emancipation has since so crippled it that the supply has become altogether inadequate, even in those very West Indian islands and colonies of ours, which used to produce so much more sugar than was equal to the consumption of these kingdoms, that we had annually a surplus of about one-third of the year's growth for exportation to foreign States, after fully providing for our home market. Thus, we had the further benefit of keeping the prices of sugar here on a level with those it commanded in the foreign markets, into which our surplus importation had been annually poured. But, with the consequences of emancipation, this productiveness declined, and prices advanced here ; notwithstanding that, in the interval, an ticipating the diminished crops which, in the beginning of such an experiment, free labour was likely to raise, Parliament had largely approximated, by an extensive reduction of the duty on sugar the growth of the East Indies, the price of that sugar to the price of sugar imported from our West Indian possessions. Still, the whole supply of sugar received into this country has proved insufficient, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER therefore is no doubt justified in his anxiety to supply the vacuum (we should have called it deficit"), by admitting sugar the growth of foreion colonies, on such terms as may enable the English consumer to obtain an adequate supply (at prices not so much dearer than those paid in all other European markets, as he is at present subjected to) of this im portant article. The great qualification which it has been the Right Hon. Gentleman's endeavour to secure, is—that such sugar shall be the produce of free labour. Believing ourselves, with Lord J. RUSSELL and Mr. EWART, that it is not possible to exclude altogether slave-grown sugar from a market once opened to the produce of foreign colonies—(on the principle, that, were the United States, for example, to supply us with 50,000 cwt. of " certified free-labour grown" sugars, they would replace that amount by importing, or by raising, for their own consumption, so much of slave grown sugar) ;—still we do think that the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER'S proposition is an advance in the right course. We shall not be accused (we trust) of estimating lightly the crime, the suicidal impolicy of slavery. It is an outrage on human nature, and its first and most sacred rights, against which we shall ever solemnly and indignantly protest, wherever and under whatever circumstances we may encounter it. But the application of slave labour to the cultivation of sugar is an usage so long established, so widely diffused, so unremittingly persisted in by various nations that it were romantic to hope, by any mere fiscal devices—any mere tariff of discriminating or differential duties—to put it down. We fear that that happy and most desirable consummation must be left to the influences of civilisation and the operation of time. We fear that our satisfaction at the results of our own efforts at its extinction—noble and mu nificent as they have been—must now be limited to the proud consciousness of having discharged our own duty, at sacrifices costly enough to attest the national sincerity. Since the commodity, then, will continue to be raised, in defiance of our own legal restrictions, in other countries whose practices we cannot control — since the quantity raised in our own colonies, under the restrictions against all slave labour imposed by our own Legislature, is obviously inadequate to the supply of these kingdoms—and since the article itself is either a necessary of life, or a luxury almost indis pensable to the comforts of all classes—surely the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is justified in a pro position for reducing the duties on its foreign pro duce, where grown by free labour, and in thus pro viding for the adequate supply of our own markets. It is curious, however, and instructive moreover, to observe at how serious a sacrifice of principle this apparently simple operation must be performed. Mr. EWART'S proposition amounted, as the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, to the discontinuance of any distinction of duty whatever, between English colonial and foreign sugars, imported for the supply of the British consumers. But this would be too ex tensive a jump for free trade, it seems, to be permitted to take at once ! And yet, if the CHANCELLOR'S modified application of Mr. EWART'S principle be good, the principle itself, unmodified, must be better ? But Mr. MILES is prepared to show, not only that such principle could not be adopted coincidently with the longer existence of our West Indian inte rest and its relations, but that the protecting duty of 10s. per cwt., still retained by the CHANCELLOR in their favour, is altogether insufficient; and that, if the foreign sugars are to be admitted at 345., our Own sugars should come in at a reduced duty of 205., to insure them a more equitable preference or priority of the home market. Mr. Gouesußai and Sir Ro- BERT PEEL, intimating their decided opposition to any such reduction, yet broadly admit that the resolutions of the former, in favour of foreign sugars, are calculated to work a great, but an unavoidable hardship, on the British West Indian interest. Finally, Lord J. RUSSELL happily enforces the folly of persevering in any such futile attempts to discriminate between foreign slave grown sugar, and foreign sugar the produce of free labour. He is sarcastically sceptical about the genuineness of American "certVcates." lie appre bends that the Right Hon. Gentleman's scheme could only be carried into practical execution by converting Custom-house officers into office-bearers of Dissenting congregations, or tide-waiters into waiters on PRO VIDENCE. And the House concurs, apparently, in the justice of his Lordship's reasoning, though it re jects his amendment. We ourselves may think that the Noble Lord was tempted to handle his subject with somewhat too much of levity ; but he did his bidding very ably; and we can make large allowances for his vigorous perception of the absurdities into which the trammels of our colonial policy are continually plunging us. But the resulting truth is, we must be content to take, thankfully, the portion of good which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER can spare us in this matter ; and we honestly believe that he would have given more, but for the disabilities under which any statesman labours who has to deal with interests —however important to the empire, as one of its in tegral bodies—that have once been tainted in their elements and relations with the guilt of slavery. We quote the following paragraph from a Morning Contemporary :—" As the Emperor of Russia was passing through Trafalgar-square the other day on a visit to Sir ROBERT PEEL, he observed the unfinished and dreary appearance which the tardily erected me morial to the immortal NELSON still presents to the eye. Inquiring the cause, his Imperial MAJESTY was informed that a want of the necessary funds was the only obstacle to its completion. The Emperor imme diately directed Chevalier BENRHAUSEN to put down his name for a considerable sum, the amount of which, however, has not yet transpired. This is a species of liberality which none can fail to admire, and must have the effect of ren dering the EMPEROR extremely popular with all those persons desirous to see the national testimonial to our greatest naval hero promptly and satisfactorily completed." His Imperial MAJESTY cectainly deserves the public thanks for the liberality which prompted his subscription to the NELSON column, nor are the tact and sagacity of his munificence less to be ad mired; but how discreditable is it to our upper and middle classes, who monopolise among them almost the entire wealth of the country, that they should not long before this have advanced, of their own accord, without solicitation, the sums necessary for the com pletion of the memorial in question ? To our think ing, it reflects infinite disgrace on them as English citizens—who, one would have naturally supposed, would be sensitively alive to the honour of their country—that they should permit a Russian Em peror, the representative of the despotic principle in Europe, to furnish that subscription which it should have been their pride to have furnished themselves unhesitatingly months since ! Hence forth no Englishman will ever be able to look on the NELSON column without reflecting with a blush of shame and indignation, that it most probably would never have been completed, had it not been for the sagacious and spontaneous liberality of a Russian Czar. Were the truth to be spoken, it should be recorded on the monument of the greatest naval hero that this or any other country ever pro duced, that its completion was solely owing to the lucky visit of the Emperor NICHOLAS to London, who, seeing that the work was unfinished, and shrewdly anticipating that it was likely to remain so—bearing in mind the extreme poverty of the aristocratic and commercial community, which he must daily have witnessed during his brief stay in the metropolis— gave orders that the column should be finished, nearly if not quite, at his own expense. We are always boasting of our naval supremacy, yet to the memory of the man who ensured us that su premacy—who preserved our laws, our liberties, our wealth, our lives, everything, in short, which we hold most dear, when they were placed in imminent peril by the Emperor NAPOLEON, at that time the'Dictator of Europe, —to the man who conferred on us, these inestimable benefits, and to whose indomitable courage and disinterested patriotism we have such lasting cause to be grateful, we cannot find it in our hearts to sub scribe a few paltry Hundred pounds, by way of mark ing our due appreciation of his services ! Yet though our "respectable" c l asses — as t h ey are so fond o f callingthemselves— are too poor to subscribe the neces sary sums for the completion of a NELSON testimonial, they are not too poor to squander, many of them, their ten or twenty pounds, on an Opera box, in order to get a peep at a real Russian Autocrat, as was the case the other night when the Emperor NICHOLAS visited the Italian theatre. But then, to be sure, it is genteel—it is fashionable for a " respectable" man and his family to be able to say that they have seen the great Despot of the North ; wherea3 it adds nothing at all to their sense of self-importance to subscribe a pittance in honour of the memory of the Hero of Tra falgar ; such an act is merely one of public respect and gratitude—an old-fashioned feeling, which, in these days of purely conventional refinement, spirit, and gentility, is beneath a wise man's consideration. How true is SHAKSPEARE'S remark—who well knew and thoroughly appreciated the world, if ever man did— " The present eye praises the present object, And things in motion sooner catch the eye Than what not stirs.": NELSON is no longer the " present object" to at tract the " present eye ;" he is dead, and with him has died the public sense of the services he conferred on his couutry—at least if we may judge from the unfinished state of his monument; and we really be lieve that the aristocratic classes would sooner sub scribe for a statue in commemoration of the Emperor NICHOLAS'S visit to London, than they would subscribe to complete the column in Trafalgar square. Of a verity, great statesmen and warriors, and authors, and artists have no great encou ragement to task their faculties, and wear away their lives in the public service ! The intelligence from Madrid is to the 3d instant. It appears that on the previous day a meeting of capi talists, holders of Government securities, was sum moned to consult respecting the means to be adopted in the present crisis. The meeting took place at the Bank of San Fernando, about three P.M., Senor BOQUERO, one of the directors, in the chair. There were not more than forty persons present, probably owing to the short notice given. The feeling ex pressed was one of alarm and distrust, not with Senor Mom individually, but in consequence of the system which he was supposed to be pursuing, and the want of all communication on his part respecting measures in which all their interests were involved. A com mittee, consisting of Senors CAMPANA, CARRIQUIRI, Mr. O'SsiEA, and two other Members, was appointed by the meeting to hold a conference with the Finance Minister, and report the result. The state of the country in general is very unpro mising at present, owing to the long-continued rains that have prevailed in many provinces, and the unsea sonably cold weather. There are fears that the har vest will be lost in Catalonia and some other parts. It would seem as if the weather sympathised with the political state of the country, and the elements were out of order as well as everything else. The most remarkable portion of the contents of the Paris journals of Monday is to be found in their speculations on the visit of the Emperor 'CHOLAS. With respect to the political objects which they sup pose the Autocrat to have had in view, they assume, with the most perfect absence of doubt in the matter, that he came to the Court of St. James's to conclude the negotiations that will give over to his power the whole of those Christian States and provinces which are yet subject to, or under the protection of Turkey. The purpose of his visit being thus settled, they turn to the manner in which he has been received, and on this point they arrive at a pretty just conclusion. The National says the language of the London journals since the arrival of the EMPEROR, has completely confirmed the accounts of its Correspondent, that the visit of NICHOLAS did not produce any real sensation among the people. It says, " Even curiosity was scarcely excited for more than a moment by his un expected arrival. In general the English do not like these surprises; regular and methodical even to monotony, they have but little taste for the eccentri cities that disturb the things they cherish the most, habits and settled modes of thought. In this respect then, this courier Monarch and handsome man has com pletely failed in producing the effect he anticipated. He thought, no doubt, to see a free country agitated, and rendered anxious by his presence, like the barbarous nations that are subjected to his power. He has learned that liberty is still more proud than des potism ; but it is only the pride of despotism that is ever offensive. Liberty, stronger than it, and also calmer in its strength, looks with the utmost indif ference on the six feet figure of the Imperial tourist, who thinks he can chain the attention of the world to his movements." The same journal says, truly enough, that the only indications of his presence have been seen in the fEtes at the Palace, and at Chiswick ; the people have been but very little interested. It also alludes to the exertions made by the London press to prevent any outbreak of popular dislike against the Government of the QUEEN, as a proof that such advice must have been needed, or it would not have been given ; and it does not let the occasion pass without pointing out the insult given to France in the banquet to the EMPEROR in the Waterloo Gallery ! L o ,„ p uiLirrE may avenge it in kind, by receiving his next Royal guest in the " Hall of Battles," and thus at once insult all the nations of Europe, whose defeats are there re corded; or if the King of PuussiA should visit Paris, he may be shown the Pont de Jena, or the Pont d'Austerlitz. But for this pettishness the article of the National is a sensible one. There is no news of any positive kind from Algiers; but, in consequence of what has been before received, the preparations for sending reinforcements to that country are proceeding with every activity. The railroad question occupies considerable space in the columns of the Paris journals. The great prin ciple contended for seems to be, that it would be in expedient to shackle too heavily the companies who may present themselves as bidders or contractors for the various contemplated lines, and particularly in respect of the length of lease desired by them ; but that, if respectable companies do not offer for the lines on fair terms, then the Government itself should enter at once upon the execution of the projected railways. Louis PHILIPPE'S fete at Versailles to 1,500 of the expositors of national industry, which took place on Saturday, went off satisfactorily. The guests as sembled at half-past five in the, picture gallery of the Museum, and were allowed an hour and a half to view its treasures. At seven o'clock the doors of the the theatre were thrown open, and all were admitted, without distinction of places, the simple mechanic in many places occupying the boxes, while the peer of France was glad to take refuge in the pit. The KING, QUEEN, the Royal Family, all the Ministers, with the exception of Marshal SOULT, a great num ber of the members of both Chambers, with other functionaries, were present. Immediately after the entrance of the Royal Family the performance, which consisted of UJdipe d Colonne, the Favourite, and a part of the Muet de Portici, commenced. Between the acts refreshments were handed round to the guests, and at the t e r m i n ation of the spectacle, after loud cries of "Vi ve l e R o i," "Vive Reine," the party broke up, and so the fete ended. DEATH OF LADY CATIIERINE BROWN.—We have to announce the demise of the above lady, who expired on ; Friday evening shortly after eight o'clock, to the• infinite . grief of her family. Her Ladyship was second daughter of ' the Marquis and Marchioness of Sligo, and born May 2, 1822. It is supposed that the death of her Ladyship resulted from a cold, terminating in inflammation. It seems that the de ceased was able to dine with the members of her family on Wednesday, and on the following morning was seized with severe illness, from which she never recovered. DOVER, JUNE 10.—(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) —The General Steam Navigation Company's steamer, the Magician, (which i s now on the passage between here and Boulogne) brought over yesterday six carriages and about fifty passengers. Among the passengers were the Duke and Duchess of Argyle and suite, and other persons of distinction. This vessel is carrying all before her, and such is the rapidity with which she perforins the passage, that she crosses from Boulogne to Dover and back in one tide. The following are among the more recent arrivals at Dover :—Countess Cadogan and family, Colonel and Lady Laura Meyrick and family, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Baring and family, Count Walsh and family, Earl and Countess of Gainsborough and family, Sir John and Lady Hall and family, Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot and family, Lord G eorge Q u i n a nd Son, Lady Jackson, Mrs. Waddell and family Colonel and Mrs. Disborough and family , , Lady Williams, Captain Armstrong, the Princess Badzivill, Captain and Mrs. Alexander, and Prince of Leiningen. LoNDozir UNIVERSITY.—The address of the students to the professors of University College on the occasion of the Queen's birth-day, has just been published in an elegant form, in conjunction with the poem written by Dr. Blarney, and recited by him on the same auspicious day. Both are ushered before the world by a dedication to Lord Brougham. We take this opportunity of contradicting the statement that appeared in the report of the proceedings. given by a Morn ing Contemporary, that there was a manifestation of ill•feel ing on the occasion. We are assured that no such impro priety occurred. The venerable Lord Western has nearly recovered from his long illness, and is now able to take carriage ainligs in the parks.

With respect to the alleged violence of the police, many persons complained when brought before him that their clothes had been torn by the rough manner with which they had been handled by the police; but they (the police) had no object in ill-treating persons whom they took into custody, and whenever they used violence, it merely showed that the parties were violent themselves. He (Austin) must pay a fine of 31., or be committed for one month. We believe the fines were ultimately paid. --- SPORTING INTELLIGEN CB ' (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.

In the present state of the Ceylon Coffee market, some ac counts received from the colony to-day, per the letters and papers via Falmouth, may prove interesting. It is stated under date of April 22, from Colombo :—" As we come, as we now have, nearly to the close of our coffee shipping season, bustle diminishes, operations cease, and little is left for us to report of transactions, as respects our, at present, chief staple, coffee; by-and-bye, we may see sugar treading upon the heels of coffee, and we hope we shall. Money and industry will act like an enchanter's wand, and we shall soon see the latent treasures of this lovely island pouring streams of produce far and wide; well do those deserve their anticipated wealth, whose enter prise and zeal have brought to light the hidden treasures of our soil; long may good fortune gladden them, and may they strive to deserve the bounty with which Providence promises to bless them. Turn we now to the barren detail. " Coffee—that of native growth, almost all shipped, and the price consequently nominal, about 40s unpicked, &c. Cinnamon—the Government monthly sale was held ou the Ist April, and the 200 bales were all sold.—First sort. 10 bales at 3s. 44d., 1841. 167/. 14s. 2d.—Freight unaltered, 31. 15s. for general cargo, 41. 15s. for Cinnamon. " The south-west monsoon has evidently set in, and the weather is now much cooler. On Friday night, and during Saturday, we had a constant succession of heavy showers, with lightning and thunder occasionally. In the interior it has been intensely hot during the day, as well as the greater part of last month, and considerable sickness has been the consequence. _ "The total value of the imports into Ceylon, last year, was 1,034,5311. against 794,758/. in 1842 ; but it must be ob served that out of the former sum no less than 314,3861. con sisted of specie. In 1839, the total imports were only 661,9201. The exports last year were 421,083/. ; in 1842, 463,445/. ; and in 1839, 375,608/." We have other arrivals also, but do not find anything par ticular in them. The Funds have been a little firmer to-day, but there is a continued want of activity. Consols, for the opening, have been 98* to 983. Bank Stock is steady at 199 to 1993; the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 101* to 4-, and the Three per Cents. at 983 to 3. Exchequer Bills have realised 71s. to 735. premium. The intelligence from Madrid, as usual after matters have been made as bad as possible, is now running in a better vein, and so far serves to show how little dependence can be placed on the statements put forth. The Active Bonds have rallied to 223 3, and the Three per Cents. to 343 3. Portuguese Converted have been flat at 463. Mexican Bonds are worth only 35 to 343, 'a decline upon yesterday's value, as the effect of the accounts from New York is bad. Buenos Ayres have been dealt in at an advance from 35 to 363 and 373 ; Dutch Five,per Cents. are firm at 100 to 1003.. The Share market has been flatter for some of the lines, but especially for Birmingham, which upon sales made have declined to 120 and 117 premium. The unfortunate diffe rences between this Company and the Grand Junction line are shaking the confidence of the holders. South •Western are rather lower. Banks are steady.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The Ifouse sat to-day in Committee for Privileges. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftes bury,- Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, Lord Campbell, Viscount Melville, Lord Rollo, the Marquis of Iluntly, the Earl of Redesdale. and Lord Kenyon. THE ANI , UNDALE PEERAGE. The further rguments on this Peerage occupied their Lordships the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY. (Before Sir JAMES WICRAM.) CORY V. TIIE YARMOUTH AND NORWICH RAILWAY COMPANY. His Iloxoun gave judgmentin . this case. He said it was not his intention to express any opinion as to what the rights of either of the parties were under any Act of Parliament. By an Act passed in May, 1827, the plaintiff was empowered to build a bridge over the river Bure, in lieu of a ferry which had existed there ; and under that Act any one who should in any manner convey any person, beast, cattle, cart, or car riage whatever over the river, within the limits of the ferry, otherwise than over the bridge, or assist in so doing, was liable to a fine of 40s. Now lie would leave the case en tirely open as to whether the plaintiff had not rights in the bridge co-extensive with his rights in the ferry; that was a matter upon which he would pronounce no opinion. The defendants, it appeared, had been empowered to make a railway from Norwich to Yarmouth, and the ter minus of their railway was on part of the ferry farm. They had also constructed a basin ; and a dispute had arisen be tween the parties, as to whether that basin was within the river Bure or below its mouth. Across this basin, the de fendants carried passengers to and from the railway. The bill had been filed by the plaintiff, Mr. Cory, who alleged that his rights had been infringed by the steamer, for the purpose of obtaining an injunction to restrain the defendants from thus using the ferry. He thought the case should go to a trial before a jury; and, as it was one which ought to go perfectly unprejudiced with regard to the interests of either party, he would not grant the injunction, lest by so doing he might seem to pronounce an opinion in favour of the plaintiff's legal right. The terms to be imposed upon the parties were that they did go to trial at the next Norfolk assizes; and the defendants must undertake to keep an account of all the pas sengers' carriages, &c., which they might convey across the river, and at the request of the plaintiff they must furnish an account of the same, and verify the account by affidavit. QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. TIIE BISHOP OF RIPON. In this case a rule nisi for a mandamus was obtained to compel the defendant to allow an inspection of the registry of resignations and presentations, and, if necessary, to take copies or extracts thereof. Mr. Ii L 1 (with whom was Mr. Hill) now showed cause against the rule, and contended that the rule should be dis charged on two grounds. The first ground of objection was, that an application was made in this case to ➢lr. Justice Williams in the Bail Court upon affidavit, who directed that the case should be moved in the full Court. The case did come on in the full Court, but the affidavit was altered, and this the Court wowld not allow. The other ground of objec tion was that there was no distinct demand of what was asked for by the rule. The rule asked for an inspection of the registry, which was a public document, and the applica tion made to the Bishop was to see the deed of resignation and presentation, which were not public documents. Mr. OGLE (with whom was the Solicitor-General) said that he moved for the rule in the Bail Court on the last day of Ililary Term, upon a very lengthy affidavit. Mr. Justice Williams mferred the matter to the full Court, and he having seen that the affidavit contained a great deal of matter re flecting on the character of the Bishop, which was not ma terial to the application, had it struck out. Lord DEN3IIN said that the Court had decided last term that a variation of this kind in the affidavit was fatal.—Rule discharged with costs. • THE QUEEN V. THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. In this case a rule had been obtained by Mr. Hill, calling on the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directing and command ing them to admit Mr. Ashurst, an attorney of the Lord Mayor's Court. The application was founded on the 27th sec. of the 6th and 7th of Victoria, ch. 73, and the question was, whether the Lord Mayor's Court was one of those con templated by that Act? Lord DENMAN said he understood that this was a question of considerable importance, and it would therefore be better to order that a return to the mandamus should be made, in order that the question might be fully discussed and consi dered. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) THE QUEEN V. DITCH AND OTHERS. Mr. HUDDLESTON in this case applied for a certiorari, to remove an indictment for conspiracy against an attorney and two persons named Ditch, from the Central Criminal Court into the Court of Queen's Bench. The affidavit on which the application was founded stated that points of law were likely to arise, upon which it would be necessary to have the opinion of the Judges of the Court.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY. (Sittings in Banco.) Their Lordships were occupied this morning in hearing motions, none of which presented any feature of public in terest or importance. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT (Before the RECORDER.) The COURT was occupied the whole morning with investi gating a charge of a disgusting nature against a sergeant ei Marines stationed at Woolwich. The case was not made out ; and the defendant was discharged. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY. A very miserable-looking lad, who described himself as a musician, named John Fitzgerald, was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of g l ass i n th e R u bi n Hood public-house, Church-lane, St. Giles's. It appeared, from the evidence, that the prisoner was, on the previous evening, engaged in ministering to the musical taste of a select party, at the Robin hood public-house ; but the charms of his lyre had not the effect of soften ing the sordid propensities of his auditors, and the smallness of the sum they tendered was considered by this son of Orpheus as so utterly unworthy of his deserts that he left the room in high dudgeon, and in the excess of his wrath drove his hand through a pane of glaSs in the public-house. He was immediately arrested, but the unfortunate musician was found to have mangled his hand so dreadfully that the landlord, with becoming humanity, declined to press the charge of wilful damage against him. The poor fellow seemed so woe-begone when placed in the dock, with his arm in a sling, and his face deadly pale, that every one present felt grateful to the publican for setting him at liberty. 111 ARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) Sarah Barnard, Elizabeth Morgan, Martha Elliott, arkl Jane Manners, four girls belonging to the Marylebone work house, were brought beforo Mr. llawlinson, charged by James Jones, the master, with disorderly conduct. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Jones and two of the inmates, that the prisoners were most incorrigible, havidg been more than once convicted already for similar offences. They were therefore kept apart from the others and locked up in a different part of the building, communicating with an inclosed yard. After the inmates had retired t• rest yester day evening, the four girls at the bar lighted a bonfire in the yard communicating with their rooms. Chairs, stools, and even portions of their dress being put in requisition for the laud able purpose of, as Manners said, "setting the b— place on tire.' Fortunately the " row " was discovered in time, and the girlsiwere handed over to the tender mercies of the police. Mr. RAwuNsos—lt seems to me that there is a reprehen sible carelessness somewhere. Surely some precaution might be adopted to prevent even the possibility of these girls having the power of setting the house on fire. Mr. Jones said that the prisoners were subjected to a strict surveillance, but it was impossible to know what they were after until the fault had been committed. The girls said that their bedrooms were locked, and they were therefore obliged to remain in the yard, but this asser tion was disproved by the master. They next stated that they were angry, because their own " nurse" was taken from them. • ➢lr. RAWLINSON—YOU are no babies, but I'll take care that you shall be nursed in the House of Correction, where you will each go for twenty days. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Francis Turves, a shopboy in the employ of Thomas Winyat, a boot and shoemaker, was charged with robbing his employer. It appeared that the prisoner had been about three months in the complainant's employ, and that about a week ago the daughter of the latter, a little girl between three and four years of age, seeing the prisoner open the till, mentioned the circumstance to her father. When he examined the till he missed a sovereign, but the boy being questioned on the sub ject, denied taking the sovereign with such earnestness, that no further notice was taken of it. A strict watch however was kept on the prisoner, and some silver having been missed from the till, he was again questioned, but he declared his innocence in the most emphatic manner, and offered to be searched on the spot to prove his honesty. He then submitted to an examination, but nothing was found until his shoes were taken off, and in them was found the whole of the money abstracted from his employer's till. He was committed for trial. Sarah Adams was charged with stabbing her husband in the arm with a knife. It appeared that, between seven and eight o'clock on the preceding night, a man named Conney, on passing Smith's place, Smith's-street, Camberwell, hearing cries of murder, proceeded into the house, and saw a woman with a table knife, in the act of stabbing a man, whom she wounded in the arm. The witness interfered, and seizing the knife from her hands, she then flew to the fire-place, and taking up the poker struck her husband on the head with it ; this weapon being taken out of her hands, she then grasped a pair of scissors, and attempted to use them also, but being overpowered she was then taken into custody. The husband, who did not attend the examination, was represented as hav ing been very seriously•injured. The prisoner, in her defence, said that her husband dragged her by the hair of the head, and attempted to throw her out of the window, and that she took up the weapons to defend herself. Mr. TRAIL remanded the prisoner until Friday.
