IS minutes after P. that is, ab _ was humane Br.. . •., creased the power of tfh... purpose of facilitating the recover.. their wages. The House had Merry°. Bill through its first stages; but it had been .. on by false colours and pretences." When 4... ;.stions from Mr. Gisnonivs and GLADSTON E said that in the course utmost, the resolutions proposed of the EXEHECWEE for the re. 11 1 duction of duties on certain articles would probably be adopted by the Legislature. In answer to a question from a Member relative to the communication with Ireland, Sir R. PEEL said the great object of the Government was to have a speedy communication, and, taking into account the reports of professional men, he preferred the line by Holyhead. Leave was given to bring in Bills for the reduction of duties on glass, vinegar, and marine insurances. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to savings' banks, the, principal provisions of which are to reduce the rate of interest from 21d. to 2d. per day, to reduce the amount which any person could invest in one year from 301. to 201., S and that, when ever the capital and interest should amount to 150/., the interest should cease. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Six. Anothermeeting of the Anti-Corn-law League took place at Covent-garden Theatre on. Wednesday. Lord KINNAIRD, who was in the chair, and who expe rienced a most flattering reception from the audience, commenced the proceedings by an intelligent and forcible speech, wherein he pointed out the humbug of the reduction-ofsrent system, observing :—" If they looked at the Morning Post and other papers, they would see paragraphs chronicling the great liberality of this landlord and that; of the wonderful example he had set of indulgence to his tenants in having at his audit remitted them ten to twenty per cent. on the amount of their rents. Why, this only meant that the landlord . could not get it." This is a seasonable exposure of the. utter humbug of that system of " generosity," as it is called, to wards their • tenants, for which great Tory landholders . are so often belauded in their' party journals. Seldom does a week pass, but a ,tatement appears in some paper or other, to the effect that my Lord This or his Grace the Duke of That, has generously, and of his own accord, remitted at least twenty per cent. on the rents due to him, infi nitely to the delectation of the recipients of such boou,.who are all, of course—the statement invariably adds—lost in astonishment and admiration of their donor's munificence. And yet now we learn, on the unimpeachable authority of Lord EINNAIRD, that the whole affair is a dexterously-contrived hoax ! Gene rosity has nothing at all to do with the matter. The case is one of sheer necessity. The landlord, finding that notwithstanding h's meat strenuous exertions, he cannot get the whole amount of bis rent, and, pain fully impressed with the disheartening fact that there' is no skinning a flint or drawing blood from a turnip, resolves at length to make a virtue of necessity, and. take credit to himself fur remitting a portion of that debt which there was not the remotest possibility of his ever obtaining in full. Such, it appears, is in many cases the secret of a Tory landlord's liberality towards his tenants ! And yet these are the men who profess to be agonised at the idea of tLe ,priva tions and sufferings of the factory women and chil- ' dren, and are constantly declaring against the grind ing tyranny of the manufacturers! Out upon such bare-faced hypocrisy ! Nothing is so easy as this .heap munificence which exhausts itself in mere words, Ind easefully steers clear of making any substan tial pecuniary sacrifice. The Tory landlords are liberal to their tenants, because they cannot help themselves. They give only what they know they can never get, and act upon the same discreet prin ciple on which the valet, in the farce of Ways and Means, acted, who magnanimously quitted his mas ter's hOuse when he found that preparations were in .progress for kicking him down stairs. In reference to .the condition of the poorer classes of the agri eultural population, Lord KINNAIRD remarked— " The Commissioners who were sent lately to inquire into the state of the agricultural labouring classes, had furnished reports of the ,ignorance, desti tution, and immorality of these poor people in Dorset ihire,Hants, and some other counties, that would harrow. ap One's soul. He had visited the property of Mr. BANKES, and anything more miserable than the condition which his tenantry presented, one could not . conceive. • In their detached cottages, one could see lisease brought - .on.. by want of food." After a natter-of-fact statement like this, which Lord iINNAIRD, it will be observed, does not give on mere hear-say, but on his own personal knowledge, what ,ecornes of Mr. BANK.ES'S ravishing description last year, in the House of Commons, of the flourishing Ind contented condition of his tenants in the Elysium ,f Dorsetshire ? In that enviable spot of the earth, ''sa toll us, all were happy—all . thriving. There, poverty, and the numerous diseases arising from it, were unknown. The land, like that of Canaan, :lowed with milk and honey; rents— to quote GEORGE aORINS ' S delightful phraseology—" were paid un solicited, with the punctuality of clock-work ;" and :he tenants had the invaluable privilege of " picking up dry sticks in Mr. BANKEII'S own park." Oh, if this privilege could but be extended to St. Stephen's, instead of being confined to the woods of Corfe Castle, how many " dry sticks" might not be picked up trnong the back seats of .the Treasury Bench ! We take for granted that we shall have no more rapturous accounts from Mr. BANKES, of the happiness of his Dorsetshire tenants. Lord KINNAIRD'S matter-of t.act.statement will of course indispose him freer, in dulging in any such agreeable " poetical licenses" for the future. The debate in the House of Commons, on Wednesday light, on the motion for going into Committee on the ` Masters and Servants Bill," terminated in another lefeat of Sir R. PEEL'S very " powerful" Govern ment. By the rejection of this motion, the Bill it self was lost. A majority of 43, in a House of 151 Members (exclusive of the tellers), concurred in kicking out a measure which, in the "altered shape" or "form," as Sir JAMES GRAHAM modestly desig - mites the reconstructive process through which it had passed under Government manipulation, certainly embodied the most stringent and outrageous penal legislation which in our time it has been ever pro posed to visit upon the heads of our industrial com munity. We conscientiously believe that there is no m , ember of the Administration, except Sir JAMES GRAHANt, who would have volunteered the quasi fra ternity the Lords, a Bill was introducA by Lord CAMPBELL, for the more speedy reamry of debts ternity of so odious an experiment on the rights and in Ireland. the feelings of labourers and servants.

HAwEs, in a later stage of the session, had asked the Right Hon. Secretary for some explanation as to the alterations introduced, that functionary had replied that Mr. MILES was responsible for them. Mr. Mmzs stated that the Bill had been drawn up by de sire of the Government. But on Wednesday night Mr. MILES went so far as to say that his Bill had been so changed by Government that he himself did not know his own bantling ! This is more intelligible and pre • cise than Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S confession to its pa te-inity as to "form" only. Now, what were the grounds on which Mr. DUNCOMBE induced the House to discard this ill-conditioned illegitimate, whom one putative father could not recognize and the other shrank from ? Mr., DUNCOMBE gave an excellent summary of former enactments on the points at issue, to be found in the sth Elizabeth, c. 4; 20th Geo. 11., c. 19; 22d Geo. 11., c. 22 ; 6th Geo. III.; 4th Geo. IV., c. 34 ; sth Geo. IV., c. 18 ; and sth Geo. IV., c . 96 "The only legislation hitherto had been in respect to persons hired for a certain term as to whom magistrates were empowered to fine or imprison persons who did not fulfil their contract, and there had certainly been instances of persons who had been imprisoned under these circum stances. But there was no instance of power having been given to the magistrates to send pe rsons t o th e H ouse • o f orrection for neglect or d'relictiou of duty in job or piece work. Now, under the present Bill, whether the contract lie iri writing or not, when a man engaged to make a hat or a pair of shoes, and did not fulfil his work in the time agreed upon, he might be taken before .a magistrate and sent to the House of Correction for two months upon the single oath of the employer. The lion. Gentleman intended that the Bill should only affect labourers employed in husbandry. But as it stood now it •would affect those employed in factories. They might be imprisoned for two months upon the oath of the foreman or overseer, if they were only five minutes too late." Mr. HUME forcibly remarked that "this Bill was altogether a new Bill from that which was originally introduced by the Hon. Member for Somersetshire. Several clauses in the original • print of this Bill, which would have given relief to the working classes, were now omitted from it." Sir JAMES GnAnAm's defence of the Bill amounted simply to this : " The present law appeared to him to operate against the workmen, and unduly and unfairly in favour of the masters. By the law now in force any employee might complain against a servant or labourer for alleged misdemeanour, mis-• carriage, ill-behaviour, : or *misconduct before one justice, who might forthwith issue, not a summons, but a wa rr a n t, t o ap prehend the person of the labourer, and might imprison him with hard labour for three months. But if, on the other hand, a servant or labourer complained against •his master, he had no warrant to apprehend the master, but a summons_ only issued against the master." This certainly was an oppressive state of the law, But, as Mr. limun had shown, Mr. MILES'S Bill, its original shape, had rectified it.. What answer does all this special pleading of Sir- JAMES GRAHAM furnish to the grave offence of patronising such in tolerable enactments as Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, in the passages we have given above, so forcibly denounced? None! Thus thought the House, and the Bill was summarily extinguished! We have accounts from Madrid to the 24th ult., and are glad to find that the. editorsnf some Liberal, or rather Opposition journals, begin to show some feelings of compunction for their long silence, and the enslaved state of their country. Two suppressed journals, _the Tiempo and the Eco del Comercio, bad re-appeared, and the resurrection of a third was ex pected in a few days. The Tiempo denounces, with national spirit, the influence of France over Spain. The Three per Cents. were done at 36i for Cash, and 37 1 1 at sixty days; and the Five per Cents at 21j . for cash, and 22i at sixty days. The discussion in the French Chamber of Depu ties, on the election of M. C. LAFFITTE, continued dur ing the entire sitting on Monday ; and did not close till past six o'clock. The debate was extremely noisy and disorderly, and the opposition made to the return arose more from personal pique against M. LAFFITTE than 'from! any conviction that he had been guilty of corrupt conduct. Though the Government supported the motion for confirming the election, it was lost by a majority of 16; there being for the motion 167, and against it, 183. The e'ectors, from all accooxnts, are as obstinate as the Chamber, and are• determined to return no other member. The Conservative journals denounce the conduct of the Opposition, and describe it as an unwarrantable attack on the rights of electors, " Let. the Left triumph," says the Journal des Debats, and thank the Deputies of the majority, who sup ported them. Thus, M. CHARLES LAFFITTE is prived of his right of representing an arrondisse ment, by which he has been three times constitu tionally elected. The electors of Louviers are again stripped of the right which they had to be repre sented by the man . who possessed. their esteem and confidence. Al. CHARLES LAFFITTE is a Conservative —that is his true crime—aggravated by the name that . he bears. If Al. CHARLES LAFFITTE had made a profession of faith against the right of search, or thelortifioations of Paris, then, indeed, all scruples would have been at end, and all the heroic con sciences of the Left would have been appeased. And now, what will be the result of the electors of Louviers, strong in their incontestible right, should they a fourth and a fifth time return M. CHARLES LAFFITTR to the Chamber ? When will the affair terminate P " We think," says the Globe, " that the Chamber has abused its power by refusing to admit the validity of an election made in conformity with all the rulea of laW. This must be evident to the whole world. The electors of Louviers cannot suffer to be broken in their hands a right placed in them by the Cherter, to be maintained by their firm ness and patriotism. They are bound to defend it to the last." The Constitutionnel and the National re joice at the result, though they do not regard M. LAFFITTE more guilty than most of the Members re turned. "We hope," says the latter, " that what passed yesterday will be a happy augury for the struggle about to commence between the defenders of the interests of the State, and that troop of coalesced jobbers, who are ready to pounce upon the great public , works. This party of corrupt jobbers has been beaten in this contest, and, we trust, will be beaten again when it comes.forward and .attempts to establish a feodality over our railroads." The papers contain ono other domestic news of in terest. In some of them, however, we find the fol lowing intelligence relative to the Papal States and the policy of the Austrian Government, contained in a letter from Leghorn, of the 22d ult. "Although for some tune there, have been no rumours of revolutionary attempts, the governments have remained upon their guard, and have taken every measure required for sup pressing insurrection. Our accounts from Romagna confirm the report that the Austrian garrisons of Ferrara and Coma cplcio have been constantly increased. The Imperial troops may be said to occupy the whole of the Legation of Ferrara, ready, iu case of need, to enter the provinces of Bologna and Ravenna in 24 hours. There is a rumour, but we know not what credit it is entitled•to, that the son of General Nugent, Governor of Trieste, has been arres t e d . Wi thin these few ; days a great movement has been observed at the head quarters of the Austrian army of Italy, established at Ve rona. The Italian Field-Marshal Mazzuchelli, has been re placed in the command of the fortress of Mantua by another officer." - According to a letter from Vienna, of the 21st, in the Frankfort papers, the most perfect tranquillity prevails in the States of Venetian Lombardy, and not the slightest apprehension of an outbreak prevails.

MO:LIZA LIT Y IN TIIB METROPOLIS.—There has been a slight increase in the number of deaths during the week ending April 27, as compared with the previous week, the numbers being respectively BSO, and 846—average 883. The increase has taken place chiefly in cases of consumption and diseases of the brain. In the former, the number during .tbe pre ceding week was 142, and, during the last, 162, average 155. In deaths caused by the latter there has been an increase of 30, being 19 above the ave rage, namely, 152. In all other cases, except violent deaths and small-pox, there is a decrease. The number of deaths from violence was 33, of which 7 were caused by falls, 9 by injuries from carriages, 3 suicides, 5 from burns and scalds, and 4 from drown ing. Of 31 persons who died of small-pox, 24 had not been vaccinated. According to the returns made "from the Greenwich Observatory, the thermometer on Friday stood at 74.6 degrees, showing a higher temperature thin that' in London by 5 degrees. It was lowest on the night of Wednesday, being 38.3 degrees. MONE STAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY. THURSDAY EVENING.

Dublin and Cashel were ; Brighton, 44 ; Midland Counties, 89i ; North Midland, 90} ; Paris and Lyons, 34 3s. ; South Eastern, 37k ; Blackwall, 64. The following remarks upon the tariff alterations, by Messrs. Wilkinson and Sons, the brokers, are all that free traders can desirs!— _ . o' The business transactions of the past month, 'hi colonial and foreign products, have been on a very limited scael, all parties wishing to learn what alterations were intended by the Chancellor of the Exehequer in the import duties. On Monday last the Chancellor announced his scheme, which, as regards foreign products, is to take off the whole duty on sheeps' wool ; to reduce the duty on currants to 15s. per cwt.; foreign coffee to 6d. per lb.; and foreign free labour sugar to 345. per cwt. This is very good so far as it -goes, but it would have given much greater satisfaction to the public had he proposed to reduce the duty on Colonial sugar to 20s. per cwt., and Foreign to 30s. per cwt.; and we trust, when the annual Sugar Bill shall be. brought into the House, lie will be induced to adopt that scale, as it will enable the working people to enjoy a larger share, without injury to the revenue, and without which, they and their poor children will derive no benefit ; indeed, we venture to predict - that an increase - of more than a million sterling would be the result, as compared with the average of the past three years. "Last year the public paid 12,500,0001. for 202,260 tons of sugar, but in some former years the amount has reached 14,000,0001., and as the average price during the ten years preceding the emancipation of, the negroes from slavery did not exceed 295. sd. per cwt. in bond, and that price being full 50 per cent. higher, both at that time and the present, than in all the ports of Europe, it may be presumed that 303. per cwt. in bond will remunerate the colonial planter abundantly. The case will stand thus, with a duty of 20s. per cwt. for co lonial and 30s. per cwt. for foreign sugar-14,000,000/. will purchase at 50s. per 280,000 tons 80,000 tons of foreign, at a duty of 30s. per cwt., will produce a revenue of .. £2,400,000 200,000 tons colonial at a duty of 20s. per cwt.... 4,000,000 £6,400,000 or 1,300,000/. more than the whole revenue on sugar last year, besides an additional 40 per cent. to the public at about the same cost." Exceptions will of course - be taken, as the Morning Post shows, though, we confess, in a mild spirit, for which the protection party is not often remarkable, to the beanng of these observations, as against the West India interest, but we will answer for it- that those who know the present state of Jamaica and other of our possessions, will acknowledge that they are not very - flourishing under protection, 'and that as to an independent body of planters, there no longer exists such ; former extravagance, and, in some cases no doubt, misfortune too, having handed over the estates to mortgagees in , nine cases out of ten. It might, indeed, be contended that mortgagees have as much right to be pro tected as the original owners, but then the rejoinder suggests itself—have not these mortgagees, in their advances, left a fair margin for probable alterations of duties, which every ra tional man must have seen years ago will gradually be effected ? The reply that we shonld give, seeing mortgagees are not pro verbial for short-sightedness, is certainly in the affirmative.

The Sun hasestablished for itselfa just title to the thanks and support of every lover of justice and humanity. It has boldly stepped out from the .fold, and manfully taken its legitimate position as the leader of Liberal opinions Upon this all important question ; and, as a . consequence, we iind some of its articles upon the Ten Hours Bill written in a spirit that warms the heart of every sufierer, carrying .conviction to the minds of the opponents of this measure, if .not ensuring their co-opera- OPENING OF TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—On Wednesday morning the public were agreeably surprised to find that Trafalgar-square was thrown open, and many availed them selves of the 'opportunity thus afforded Of perambulating this noble area. The workmen, have, however, not yet left, as the asplialte pavement is not yet completed, nor are the jets d'euu 3 et in play, although the basins have been charged with water for several days. The base of the Nelson column is still surrounded with a hoarding, and part of the upper scaf folding still remains. In a days the equestrian statue of George 111. will be removed from its present site, facing Messrs. Ransom's, to the vacant pedestal at the west end of the terrace in Trafalgar-square, and opposite the statue of George IV. The day for holding the grand nauticallete, at which several of the pensioners from Greenwich Hospital will' be present, will be shortly appointed. BANQUET AT MANCHESTER, HOUSE.—A sumptu ous banquet was given on Wednesday by his Excellency the Count St. Aulaire, in honour of the birthday of his Majesty the King of the French. The company consisted of the Ministers from Bavaria ' SWeden, Holland, Belgium, Aus tria, America, Sardi n i a , Denmark, Hanover, Portugal, and Russia, the Turkish Ambassador, Prince Castelcicala, Duke of Buccleuch, Duke of Wellington, Marquis of Salisbury, Mar quis of Lansdowne ; the Earls of Liverpool, Jersey, Dela warr, Haddington, Aberdeen, Wilton ; Lords Stanley, What-n -en%' Brougham, Lyndhu rs t ; Sirs Robert Peel, James Graham; Mr. Gladstone; Count de ,Noailles ; M. de Ra bandy, M. de la Belinaye, M. de St. Andre, Baron de Thile, M. de Lisboa, M. Murphy, M. Gautier, &c. INDIA AND CHINA Calcutta papers of the 14th, and Bombay papers and correspondence to the lath of March,. inclusive, have been received by the Bentinek, which reached. Suez on the 12th of April; they were brought to Marseilles from Alexandria direct by the French I steamer. The folliming extract gives a summary of the news from India and China : " ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 19. "The latest dates brought by - the Bentinck, which reached Suez on the 12th inst., are from Calcutta to the 14th, and Bombay to the 13th of March. The steamer Carnatic was dispatched from Bombay on the evening of the 13th to Ceylon, to meet the Bentinck, on her passage from Calcutta to Suez. "The mails which had left London on the 6th of February had arrived at Bombay, but the Jetters were not to be delivered until the following day. The most important military news relates to the refusal Of one Madras and two Bengal regiments to proceed to Sinde on finding that they were not to be allowed full batta. " There is nothing of importance from Lahore and Affghanist an, but it is supposed that these two States will shortly come to open hostilities. " The Sesostris arrived at Bombay on the 10th of March from China, which country she left on the 15th of February, having on board, amongst other pas sengers, Major-General Sir James Schoedde. The town of Victoria was quite healthy, and it was hopes that the ensuing summer would not be so fatal as the last. Several daring attempts at robbery had been made at Hong-Kong. Sir H. Pottinger had evinced an earnest desire to act up to the treaty with China. Her Majesty's 55th Regiment was under orders for immediate embarcation for England. Her Majesty's ship Dido, Capt. Keppel, left for Calcutta on the 2d February, having on board Lord Saltoun, late Com mander of the Forces, who arrived at Suez in the Bentinck, and will proceed to England by the Great Liverpool. Little was doing in teas on account of the high prices demanded. " The Governor- General arrived at Calcutta on the 28th February, and on the 29th published a most liberal grant of batta to all the troops that were en gaged in Gwalior and in Sinde.: " India in general is tranquil. " The price of indigo had advanced a little at Cal cutta, and the business in British cotton piece goods had been large. A letter from Calcutta, dated March 15, contains this passage :—" Sinde is finally and for ever annexed to the British possessions." Malta letters of the 23d of April, received by this express, bring no news. (From the Calcutta Englishman, Feb. 29.) The Governor-General arrived' at Government-house yes terday afternoon. The Deputy-Governor, Council, and a vast concourse of persons in and out of the service, were for some time previously in attendance to receive his Lordship, whose arrival was delayed beyond the time at which he was expected. The usual ceremonies were performed upon the occasion, the fort guns fired, and the troops drawn up on each side of the entrance. The Governor-General cordially greeted his colleagues, and appeared to have derived considerable benefit from his late journey. The following is a more detailed account, for which we are indebted to a correspondent : " Four companies of her Majesty's T 10th Regiment were drawn up in line, w ith th e i r right resting on the eastern entrance to the Government-house. The reserve guards, with their' left_' resting on the same entrance, were drawn up in line also, and facing the companies of her Msjesty's 10th Regiment; this ma d e a stree t th roug h w hi c h the Go-. vernor-General drove, and during which time he was received with arms presented.' rhe Light Company of her Majesty's 10th Regiment, in single ranks,' were drawn up on the steps of the grand entrance, and immediately facing it the Govern ment-laouse Guard; on his Lordship alighting from his icar riage, he was again received with arms presented,' while the Deputy-Governor, &c., advanced to mee t h im ; at t h e same moment the signal was conveyed to the saluting battery, and a salute of nineteen guns was fired: This closed the tamasha.' The whole of the civil and military attached to the Presidency were ordered out on the occasion." The Extra which was published yesterday, announcing a gratuity of six months' batta to the troops engaged in the battles of Meanee, Hyderabad, Maharajpore, and Punniar, breathes the right spirit, and shows the real " friend of the army." The allusion to the claims of those who were not en-. gaged, but have endured the privation incident to their service in Sinde, is alike judicious and generous. We have nothing to, say, save what is laudatory, of this proceeding, if it be understood as a boon granted by the State, without reference to, and possible disappointment in respect of, prizes captured. DIE ARMY.—A twelvemonth ago Sir Charles Napier, on the field of battle, and after a signal victory, recorded his conviction of the great disproportion of European officers to the native troops, and warned Government of the risk which it entailed. It was naturally expected, that advice dictated by such experience as the battle of Meanee afforded, in which the loss of half a dozen more officers might have led to the most disastrous retults, would have produced some salutary effect on the minds of those who are entrusted with the wel fare of the empire. As yet, however, the only result has been to increase that dangerous disproportion. A body of troops to the number, it is believed, of 10,000, has been raised for the Gwalior State, and they are to be officered from our own army ; and during the last week the army itself has been increased at this Presidency and that of Bombay, to the extent of 10,000 men, without any corresponding increase of European officers. So great, indeed, is the want of officers felt in one arm (that of the Artillery), that the Governor-General has .been constrained to remove some officers from important political appointments, which they occupied with credit to themselves and advantage to the public, and to remand them to regimental duty; and other officers in situations of great political trust have received in timation that whenever the exigencies of the service may require it, they must be prepared immediately to quit their present posts and join their corps. It , is usual we know to cast the blame of this deficienby of officers on the parsimony of the Court of Directors ;. but that body -has long ceased to have any voice in the practical management of the empire. It appears to exercise no other function but that of distribut ing the loaves and fishes among its friends and connexions.. It is also the receptacle of all the grievances of the discon tented which it had little power to redress, and can relieve only by sympathy. Whenever that symp a thy h a p pens t o b e 'misplaced, which is often the case, it serves to weaken rather than strengthen the cause of good government in India. We must not, therefore, look to the Court of Directors for the cause of that unwillingness, which is so justly complained, of, to render the army efficient by a suitable increase of officers. If her Majesty's Ministers, in whom the actual government of India now centres, thought such an augmentation neces sary for its safety, they would doubtless find as little difficulty in persuading the Court to issue the necessary orders as the Queen does in prevailing on the Dean and Chapter to obey her omge d'elire in the election of a Bishop. On her Ma jesty's Ministers, therefore, must rest the censure of this re luctance. The . popularity of Lord Ellenborougli appears to be on the increase in Calcutta, where a public meeting was called by the Sheriff for the purpose of addressing his Lordship on his return from the campaigns in Gwalior. The newspaper readers or Bombay cannot fair to have observed the silence of the violent assailants of the poliCy of his Lordship. They cannot blame his late successes, and they now maintain a prudent-reserve. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Bombay Price Curreiit, March 9.) THE BOMBAY MARKETB.—In consequence of the interven tion of the Hindoo Festival of the Holee, the past-week has been an entire black, and we have no trtuasactions of any con sequence to report. The market for cotton is very inactive at present, and prices have still further receded. The remain ing stock of old cotton is mere rubbish, unfit for exportation to Europe, and prices are nominally as under : PRICES CURRENT OF RAW COTTON. Per Surat Candy of 7 cwt.

DlrcE SOMBRE.—It 15 well known to most of our readers that Mr. Dyce Sombre has been residing for some time at Paris, where he has been giving a series of entertaintnents to the elite of that city. He has been also received by Louis Philippe at the Tuileries. Being strongly impressed with a convic tion of the injustice of the decision by which he was declared to be incapable of managing his affairs, he consulted some of the first medical authorities in Paris. An army of French physicians, after lengthened examinations, long reports of which have appeared in the public journals, have decided—" That from the ap preciation of all the conversations which they have held with Mr. Dyce Sombre,, and of all his acts which have come to their knowledge, they are all perfectly convinced that, at the present time, Mr. Dyce Sombre is in the full possession of his intellectual and affec tive faculties ; that the movements of jealousy, the tenacity of which are revealed in several expressions of Mr. Dyce Sombre, do not appear to exceed the ordinary limits in the feelings of an European, and with much more reason than those of an Asiatic. That from all information furnished by several persons who have known Mr. Dyce Sombre ever since his arrival in France, the full possession of his intellectual and effec tive faculties has not failed him since that period." A petition has been presented to the Court of Chancery to set astde the finding of the Commission, and it stands for Friday next.—Suffolk Herald. SUMMARY OF NE'il A N D Vutatt Cointion. " Who runs may read." FOlitFati\or. Reports were current in Paris that the health of the King was not very satisfactory. He had not taken his usual ex ercise, and the r e h a d b een no :public receptions tor two days. Not much credit, however, is to be attached to these reports, for we find that the King, Queen, and Royal family, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and other illustrious guests of the King and Queen of the French, enjoyed on Tuesday a private view of the exhibition in the splendid temporary range of buildings erected for that purpose on the Grand. Carre of the Champs Elysees. In the evening the " recep tions " customary on the eve of the King's fete were to take place. On Monday the Duke de Montpensier arrived at Paris from Marseilles. The Duchess of Orleans visited Dreux last week, accompa nied by the Duke de Praslin and a lady of honour. Lady Georgina Fane, and General Sir William and Lady Lumley, had arrived at Paris. The following promotions have been made by the King in the Legion of Honour;—To be Grand Cross, Vice-Admiral Anaoux ; to be Commander, Rear-Admiral Hamelin ; to be Officers, Captains Tavenet, Guayde, Taractel, Valliant, and Money. The Presse states that the Bank of France has abandoned its intention of issuing notes of circulation of 250 f. The Presse deplores this determination, as the proposed measure was anxiously desired by the public. M. Sellier, an opposition candidate, has been elected De puty at Cherbourg, in the room of M. de Briqueville, deceased. He had 292 votes ; and his opponent, General Meslin, 288. Letters from Rome announce the death of Cardinal Paces., the Dean or Senior of the Sacred College, on the 19th inst. He was born at Benevento, on the 25th December, 1756, and made Cardinal by Pius VII. in 1801. The Great Liverpool arrived at Alefandria on the 18th, with 112 passengers for India. The last adcounts received from Syria announced that 200 inhabitants of Hasbeya, a village situate at the foot of Mount Lebanon, had abjured the Greek orthodox religion to embrace Protestantism. LAW AND POLICE. At the Mansion-house two young men, named Hart and Johnson, who were fashionably. dressed, and had very much the appearance of Medical students, and a little boy named Johnny Biitan, who walked between the other two in quality of a little brother, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having made repeated attempts to pick pockets. They stoutly asserted their innocence, but the Lord Mayor nevertheless sent their for three months to Bridewell as rogues and vagabonds. At Guildhall a summons was granted against an informer named Birch, evidence having been given showing that he had used the laws and the summonses of the Court as the ,means of extorting money, by laying informations and com promising them with the parties accused. Air. Alderman Copeland made some severe remarks on the whole gang of informers, who, he said, used thelaivs, not for the public good, but merely for the sake of extortion ; and expressed a determination to sift the matter to the bottom. . • William Burton Newenham, charged. with the abduction of Miss Wortham, was again brought up at Clerkenwell for examination, and again remanded. The prisoner said that he conceived himself to be very much ill-used. He had been harasSed week after week, and it struck him that there was a decided feeling against him on the part of the Magistrate. CO T 0 ' 2'411.1.3 laza. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal and Alice, are expected to leave Buckingham Palace, on Satur day, for Claremont, where the Court will remain until Tues day or - Wednesday. The contemplated Royal visit to Os borne House, East Cowes, Isle of Wight, is not expected to take place until the end of the month, and her Majesty's so journ there will be brief. We hear that the Queen is not ex pected to hold any more Drawing-rdoms during the present season, but it is probable his loyal Highness Prince Albert will hold one or. two more Levees on behalf of her Majesty. Wednesday the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Marchioness of Douro, visited the Royal Adelaide Gallery, and was conducted ever the establishment and shown the• various models and scientific inventions by Dr. Jones.

The annual distribution of prizes to the pupils and students of Charing-cross Hospital most distinguished for their acquire ments in the various branches of medical study, and for good conduct during the past session, took place on Wednesday, in the lecture- room of the hoSpital, which was filled with the friends of the pupils and those interested in the institution. It has just been notified to the authorities of Eton College, that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will lay the foundation stone of the extensive new buildings which are to be erected forthwith, at an expense of 26,0001., immediately contiguous to the ancient edifice, in that portion of the premises known as Weston's-yard. • The Fortieth Anniversary Meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held on Wednesday, in Exeter hall, under the presidency of Lord Bexley. The meeting was not probably so well attended as on former occasions, for the room was not more than three-fourths filled. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform were the Marquis of Cholmon deley, the Earl of Chichester, Viscount Sandon, M.P., the Bishops • of Worcester and Cashell, Lord Teignmouth, Mr. Evans, M.P., Mr. Plumptre. M.P., General Sir J. Bathurst, the Dean of Salisbury; the Archdeacon of Win chester, Hon. and Rev. B. W. Noel, &c.

The total receipts of the year were 98,0001. _ . . The annual meeting of the Colonial Church Society was held in the evening in the same place, Captain Sir E. Parry, R.N., presided. The Hon. W. Cowper, M P., Mr. J. P. Pluniptre, M.P., Mr. G. Finch, Mr. J. Labouchere; the Rev. A .Thelwall, and a great number of the lay and clerical friends of the Society were on the platform.

The subscriptions and donations received during the past year amounted to 3,7751., exclusive of collections in the colonies. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-- YESTERDA Y. The attendance, although more numerous t h an m i g h t hare been expected, from , the attractions of Chester, had little or no influence on speculation, and it would, there fore, be absurd, under such circumstances, to attempt a quotation of prices ; suffice it to say that 20 to 1 (to 601.) was laid against Campanero, 2 to 1 offered agst Ratan, 6 to 2 agst Ugly Buck, and 14 to 1 agst Orlando (Mite 12 to 1 about the Colonel's lot), Offers to take 20 to 1 about Ithuriel fur the St. Leger. CHESTER RACES—WEDNESDAY. In no respect has our estimate of the attractions of the Cup Day exceeded the truth ; it has unquestionably proved the best, not only as a great public holiday, but as a source of profit to the city, that has ever been placed on record—a consummation ascribable as much to the surpassing beauty of the weather, as to the in terest excited by th e p r i nc ip a l race. nd if the event turned out so favourably for the citizens, it cannot alto gether hard been unprofitable to that portion of the pro fessional speculators who open books on the publication of the weights. and were lucky enough not to miss any of the horses that came to the betting ; some, however, were not so fortunate, and, as is usually the case when a great favourite wins, have burnt their fingers. It will be seen below that twenty-six horses started, one more than we mentioned in our last, as likely to show. The difficulty of getting such a field off upon anything like equal terms must be obvious to those who are acquainted with the course, and, had the ordinary system been adopted, it is more than probable that several false starts, if nothing worse, would have occurred; we were therefore the more agreeably surprised to learn that the stewards had prevailed upon Lord George Bentinck to relieve the clerk of the course of a most responsible and unthankful office, and that his Lordship had devised a plan ex cellently suited to a large body of horses in a narrow course. It was simply to divide them into two divisions of thirteen each, their rulers drawing tickets for their chances of the first or second rank. Having taken their positions, according to their tickets, nearly a quarter of a mile below the starting-post, they were paraded up to it with extraordinary precision, and got off without the slightest failure ; it is impossible that anything could have been more admirably, managed. Of the race itself we have given a description underneath, and we have only to add that, notwithstanding the immensity of the crowd which encircled the course, the day's sports were brought to a close without a single accident that• led to serious consequences. 'ln short, the only fault we feel bound. to notice was the utter disregard of punc tuality ; a moderate allowance may always be conceded at provincial meetings, but two hours between the first and second races, and the horses walking about the course a great part. of the time was a little " too bad." In future we would suggest that the principal races be run off at reasonable intervals, and that the heats should be made subservient to the in terests of the publicans. The first race on the card was the Stand Cup, which ought to have been run at half past two o'clock; and about that time the horses were mounted and on the course, but it was at least twenty minutes before the bell rang for saddling, and more than_ half-an-hour beyond the, proper time before they were started—this, under a broiling sun, was no " treat" to the jocks. Of this and the succeeding events we subjoin the customary details: — The Dee Stand Cup, by subs. of 10 soya. each, with 50 added; 3 yrs, 6st 101 b ; 4 yrs, Bst 21b ; 5 yrs, Bst 121 b ; 6 yrs, 9st 21b, and aged, 9st 41b ; winners extra ; once round and a dis tance (7 Subs.)
