In the produce markets to-day there is a remarkable fea ture to notice, a declaration of very nearly 13,000 bags of Mauritius sugar, and which under all circumstances has gone off much better than was anticipated, the more especially as many alterations are looked for in the tariff. In several quarters doubts were entertained whether Sir Robert Peel really intended to bring forward the whole of the Budget on the 14th instant, but the declaration last night in Parliament has set this question entirely at rest. An anxiety, great in deed, is exhibited to learn what the alterations are to be. The holders of British Plantation Sugars, as well as of Mau ritius, are pressing sales, under the expectation that there will be a liberal alteration of the duties upon foreign free labour produce. . There has not been any late arrival announced from the British colonies to-day. There has been a heavy market for the Three per Cent. Consols to-day. Sales have been made for immediate trans fer at 99 1 4, and for the Account at 99%, being a fall of % to % per cent. on the highest value paid yesterday. Bank Stock has receded from 215 to 213%. The Reduced Three per Cents. have fluctuated from 99 3 / to 100, and the New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. from 103% to %. India Stock is 2 per cent. lower th an it was yesterday, namely, at 282. Exchequer-bills are at 60s. to 625. premium. In the Foreign Funds not a great deal of business has been trausacted this morning. Austrian Bonds have been done at 115 ; Chili= at 101; Mexican at 364 ; Portuguese at 86 ; Russian at 1193. The Spanish Three per Cents. have fallen from 414 to 40%, and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 63 1 4. A vast amount of business has been transacted in the Rail way Shares to-day, but the quotations are scarcely so high as yesterday, as our corrected list of the day will show. The lnsh lines are daily becoming more in request. Piano-forte—Mr. LAND. ✓ rickets, 2s. Reserved Seats, 2s. Gd. Private Boxes for Six, 15s. ; for Eight persons, 1/..

D This Journal was established for the express purpose of forwarding and aiding the noble work of the Reform of the Social Condition of the people of England. We would unite on this common ground the good and great men of- all parties ; we would afford a medium of commu nication and public discussion on all subjects relating to this vital question ; we would show its importance to all classes, and force all classes to reflect upon it. The task is arduoUs, but the end Is no less than the salvation of our country. Claiming the support of no isolated party, and therefore truckling to none, we' call boldly upon Whig, Tory, and Radical to assist our efforts. It is the cause of self-pre servation—the cause of duty—the cause of civilisation—and, above all, the caus6 of morality and Clif stianity.

DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the ollioial authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-;:ruses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, Had which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry eter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at lil tines to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters. THE RAILWAY COMMITTEE. The discussion on Lord Howick's motion for an ex tension of the time allowed for the presentation of Rail way and Private Bills to Parliament, will be perused with the greatest interest at the present moment. The suggestion offered by his Lordship that the decisions of the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade should not be considered conclusive; and his arguments against the impolicy of vesting se enormous a responsibility as that which would of necessity attach to such a Board, were its decisions to be regarded as final, appear to have been generally approved. Without attaching the slightest credit to the rumours referred to by his Lordship that influences had been improperly exerei,ed upon the subject of Bills for lines of railway, Sir R. Peel coincided in the objections urged against the present practice, and expressed his opinion that "it would net be proper to determine upon the eligibility of one or other line of projected lines of railroad without affording the fullest opportunity of investigation." "If (said Sir Ro bert) the suggestion of the Noble Lord be adopted by the House, the effect will be that instead of the time for presenting such petitions being limited, as at present, to a period preceding the 15th of April, it will be extended to twenty one days after the day on which the Board of Trade shall have made its report." " The Govern ment will not be bound by the report of the Committee, although it will avail itself of the _advantage of its la bours." Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large consumers can be had on application (or will be ti.,rwarded by post), free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London. - ONE CLOSIN PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.

The extension of the period for presenting petitions, so far as the projectors of rejected lines of road are concerned, would seem, therefore, to be a mere act of justice. Lord Howick instanced a case in which a sum of 1,200,0001. depended on the decision of the Committee, and if that were allowed to be final, a jurisdiction would be given to these 8 0.0, , mcn over 040 propertfuf indi viduals greater than the amount which all the Courts of Weh,teainster Hall put together were required to adjudi cate upon. To invest a board so constituted with this enormous power was never fur a moment contemplated ; the original resolution which led to its formation dis tinctly intimating that the final decision of any question of the kind must depend upon the weight of recommen dation accompanying the proposed lines, which Sir Robert Peel affirms will depend upon the reasons ad vanced by the Committee for giving a preference to any one over the other. It will be seen that the further dis- ' eussion of this important question was adjourned to this day.—Herald. RAILWAY .BUSINESS IN PAR LIAMENT.

The play under consideration was Macbeth, from which several passages were read by the lecturer with tasteful emphasis and appropriate modulations. • He commenced his lecture by pointing out the moral tendency of Shakespere's Writings, which he ably de monstrated from a comprehensive view of his works. lie then, in a masterly style, went through the play, reading several extracts,• which .evinced judgment in th e i r se l ect i on and taste in their delivery.

" To Mr. Silas Bentley, " Sir,—As to the Varnish, of which you require my opinion, I can only say, as far as I can judge from its immediate application, I should decide favourably. It is clear. It bears out well ; and dries well. I have no hesitation in saying, that if the Composition in question shall be found to possess the properties you describe, it will be a very valu able acquisition to Artists. "Sir MARTIN ARCHER KLEE, " President of the Royal Academy." " To Mr. Silas Bentley, " Sir,—l have had the pleasure of making trial of the Varnish you politely sent me, and am of opinion that you have succeeded in pro ducing a brilliant desideratum in art, " ABRAHAM COOPER, R. 1." " To ➢ir. Silas Bentley " Sir,—At your request I have made tritils with your new colour less Porcelain-Lustre Varnish,' on divers and valuable pictures. The result has been most completely satisfactory, in all respects. It is certain you have discovered a process new in art. I shall never use any other kind of Varnish. " RAMSAY RICHARD REINAGLE, R.A." " To Mr. Silas Bentley, " Sir,—On trial, I find that your Porcelain-Lustre Varnish is as colourless as the Mastic Varnish, over which it possesses one very great advantage--it does not chill, and dries well and hard. " C. It. LESLIE, R.A." " To Mr. Silas Bentley. " Sir,—After a trial of six months, I find that your Porcelain- Lustre Varnish bears out perfectly.—WlLLlAM ETTY, ILA." " To Mr. Silas Bentley.

It must convince the most sceptical of the safety and great value of this extraordinary Com pound of Herbs. This important letter is sent to Mr. liaise by Mr. W. Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of' the parish of Brent, Devon :—"Brent, March Ist, 1842. Dear Sir,—l consider it a duty incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you, that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit for my poor suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying but every thing in order to give my chld ease, but day by day she continued to get worse, until at last all strength left her, and she was no longer able to walk ; her body and head were covered all over with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite had vanished, the erup tions would itch In such a dreadful manner that she would roll herself in agonies on the ground, and she could get no sleep what ever by night. Immediately you saw her, you told me you were certain your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, sad she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. By the time she had taken the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person's, the use of her limbs was restored. to her, and, I thank God, her health is now as good or better than it ever was.

The approaching meeting of the Swiss Diet is ex pected to excite considerable ferment. According to the Consrtutionnel, the Governmeat of Lucerne is making preparations to meet whatever may happen, and a cou • rier has been dispatched to Naples to recal immediately the regiment of the Canton, which is in the service of the King of the Two Sicilies. " It is to-morrow," says La Presse, in commencing a long article upon the situation of our Cabieet, " that the session of the English Parliament is to begin. In the very first sittings Lord Brougham, who has just spent a week at Paris, and attended the last debates on the:Address, is, it is affirmed, to deliver a speech upon the relations of France with England—a speech from which the best effects are expected here, for our Ministry are, beforehand, acquainted with what he will say. In two days all the world will be enabled to judge of this coup de theatre." On Wednesday a ballot was to take place in the Cham ber of Deputies for the ele:aion of a Vice-President in lieu of the new Minister of Public Instruction, Count de Salvandy, to which it was understood M. D'Aulnay would be elected without eppoaition. The Brussels Gaulle states that the net receipts -of the Belgian railroads for the month of December last amounted to 860,000 f. Upwards of 250 houses were last week burnt down in the village of Luc (Switzerland). The clergyman's re sidence and the town-hall were also reduced to ashes. The total damage from the fire is estimated at 100,0001: Pro visions and necessaries have been sent in by the sur rounding villages to the sufferers. Madrid journals of the 28th ult. contain a long account of a review of the troops by the Queen, who was on horseback, in a riding-habit, and wearing aiguillettes of a Captain-General. The Glamor Publico gives from Logruno the following account of the last moments of Zurbano :—" Zurbano died like a hero ; to the last mo went he displayed admirable courage and serenity. When desired to turn his back to the soldiers, who were about to shoot him, he took of his cap, threw it is the air, and said, 'lt is not fur a disloyal act that I die ! I die for Isabella 11., and in defence of the Constitution of 1837.'" The Correctional Tribunal of St. Omer was occupied on the 29th ult. with an appeal case, in which a grocer of Boulogne, named Delapierre, was plaintiff, and Mr. Franklin Kerr, responsible editor of the Boulogne Guar dian, defendant. It appeared from the evidence that an advertisement had appeared, on the sth of September, in the defendant's journal, declaring that "a debt due from the plaintiff, amounting to something under 1501, vrae to be sold at a los,. of 90 per cent., and that full particu lars could be obtained on applying to the Commis:ary of Police." M. Delapierre brought his action for libel be fore the Correctional Tribunal of Boulogne, and de manded I,ooo£ damages. A verdict was given against him. Delapierre, not considering this verdict satisfac tory, appealed, and the Tribunal of St. Omer reversed the former sentence, on the ground that to announce the sale of a man's debt at 90 per cent. loss, was greatly calculated to lessen his credit, and do him injury. It condemned Kerr, in consequence, to five days' imprison ment, 50f. fine, and 300 f. damages to the plaintiff: LAW AND POLIC2I. Mr. Commissioner Goulburn gave judgment in the Bankruptcy Court, on the application of the assignees of Detosio, late of the Royal H o t e l, Sl oug h , to inspect the lease Of those premises, which was in the possession of Mr. Blackmore, a solicitor, he refusing such inspec tion, on the ground of having a lien on it. The judg ment was that the assignees had a right to inspect the lease, and Mr. Blackmore agreed to furnish them with a copy of it. Samuel Cantelo, Isaac Hurley, Matthew Clarke, and W. Johnson, convicted of breaking and entering the warehouse of the London Dock Company, and of stealing therein 1471b5. of tobacco, were each sentenced to ten years' transportation, at the Central Criminal Court. At the Surrey Sessions, Rob( rt Pratt, for cruelly ill using his son, a boy five years of age, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Mary Hall, alias Monro, alias Weare, about 30 years of age, charged with oUtaining charitable contributions from Mr. C. Bruce, 5, Lowndes-street, Beigrave-square, under fraudulent representations, was committed for two months from Queen-square. At Marlborough-street, yesterday, Benjamin Brown, a cab-driver, was charged with having, while in a state of intoxication, driven against a cart belonging to Wm. Sexton, postman of Kiusb u ry- green , an d done much damage to the vehicle, besides injuring the owner. Mr. Maltby fined the defendant 40s. 6d. for damage and complainant's loss of time, and 40s. more for the public offence. As the parties retired through the only door which is in common to prisoners and prosecutors, he made his way towards one of the witnesses for the pro secution, and gave him a violent blow on the mouth. The defendant was secured and brought back into Court, when the assault charge was preferred against him. Mr. Maltby tined him 3/. in addition to the other fines, or three months' imprisonment. Angus Gillics, formerly a police-constable of the A division of the metropolitan police, and also a constable in the Edinburgh and Glasgow Constabulary, was brought up for final examination at Hammersmith, on a charge of having stolen the sum' of 1651 in Bank of England notes, the property of Mrs. Mary Lewis, and fully committed for trial.

The Royal Albert, of 120 guns, building at Woolwich, is put together on the same . principle. Sturges Bourne, the proposer of the renowned "Sturges Bourne's Act," died on the Ist instant, at Test wood House, in his 76th year. The Rev. Sydney Smith has been exceedingly unwell, but now his recovery is gradually progressing. The answer to inquiries in Green -s.treet last evening was, that the reverend gentleman was going on most favourably. Od Wt duksday morning, shortly after twelve o'elock, much alarm was felt in the imreediate vicinity of White chapel Church, owing to a very serious fire breaking out at the premises of Mr. Rayner, hair-dresser, situate at 3, Osborne-street, n ear ly f ac i ng t h e Tower amlets Court of Requests-house. The firemen succeeded in confining it to the lower part of the premises. An escape of gas in the cellar is supposed to have been the cause of the outbreak. The property is insuted in the Royal Ex change•-office. The promptitude of the police in breaking in the door, alone saved the premises. The Bishop of Ely is seriously indisposed at the Palace. Between ten and eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, William Henley, one of the workmen in the employ of Messrs. Maudsley and Co., of Westminster-road, en gineers, had a, piece of iron, weighing upwards of a quarter of a ton, fall on to his right kg, crushing the bees betw e en th e k nee an d an kle into splinters. Am putation was found to be immediately necessary. The operation was performed by the house surgeon at St. Thomas's Hospital.

The day was most unpropitious, the ground being very, heavy from the breaking up of the frost and the rain. The men came to the starting -post ap parently in exc e ll ent health ; and, upon a signal being given, they went away at a slashing pace, keeping well together to the second mile, when Batten, by great exertion, contrived to head his opponent a short distance. Mills, however, soon gained upon him, and it was evident that the condition of Batten could no t s t an d t h e pace. When about half a mile from home, Mills shot ahead, and kept in that position to the end of the race, accomplishing the four miles in a few secoads over twenty-two minutes. : A the of the Lis ith n 8 c ci. )ec -10 Jong Lis .the urn if the tea. st :lice Or° , i ,ter: 't . ‘‘. ,f . t" ~ yY Fh Ili° `, y;.
