The Dean and Chapter, and it is said, more especially the Bishop of GLOUCESTER, did everything in their power to prevent this property being improved some years ago. Within the last month the Dean and Chapter have declared they would oppose any Bill for - the improvement of this pestilential district." The writer of this letter adds that he engages to prove every one of the above facts, whenever, and wherever, called upon. A correspondent of the Patriot, and who is also a parishioner of Westminster, writing on the same delicate subject, expressly says :—" There is not one word of truth in the Bishop of GLOUCESTER'S statement. Four of the bad houses are certainly closed, but the other twenty are fully and actively employed, as they have been to my certain knowledge for the last forty years. I have just returned from a personal inspec tion of these Almonry nuisances, it being eight o'clock on Saturday evening, the 15th of June, 1844, and I have counted twenty of them occupied in a way that public decency prevents my further describing." The Westminster parishioner then goes on to state, that during the forty years in which these houses have been in use the leases of most of them have been renewed over and over again ; and 'that as the application for renewal is made every fourteen years, his Lordship and his colleagues, or their predecessors or representatives, could not have inspected any of the houses, in order to settle the renewal fines, without seeing the im moral purposes to which the whole are devoted. Now, if these two statements be true, and we see no reason to doubt their truth, seeing that the writers both speak from their own personal knowledge of facts, what becomes of the Bishop of GLOUCESTER'S virtuous denial of Earl FITZUARDINGE'S charge ? The matter cannot possibly be suffered to rest where it is, and we do hope that some public-spirited individual either in the Lords or Commons, will direct attention to the case, in order that this disgusting nuisance—per petrated under the very nose of the Apostolic Dean and Chapter of Westminster, and almost, as ia would appear, with their connivance may be promptly put an end to. It is perfectly absurd for the Bishop of LONDON, in his zeal for the spread of religion and morality, to advocate the building of new churches throughout his diocese, when not less than twenty houses—anything but clerical in their character—are in full and active employment within half a mile from the Bishop's own mansion in St. James's-square, and almost within a stone's throw of that august spot where the episcopal bench dis charge their senatorial functions ! To advocate the erection of new churches in the metropolis, and yel at the same time to permit the continuance of not less than twenty houses of ill-fame in Westminster, what is this but the most sickening cant and by pocrisy ! The Bishop of LONDON would be far more usefully and religiously employed in endeavouring to put down these intolerable nuisances, than in count- ing the wherrys which may happen to be gliding over the broad bosom of the Thames on Sundays. The debate on the Sugar Dutiea in the House of Commons, elicited explanatory statements from her MAJESTY'S Ministers on the subject of the machinery devised by them for discriminating between foreign sugars raised by free labour, and similar produce grown by slave labour, on importation into this country, which were exceedingly important. These explanations must have satisfied the hitherto most scep tical on the subject that the machinery in question can no more be depended on for the certain attainment of the ends it is created to accomplish, than the votes of a majority, only recorded on Friday, can be reckoned upon in a division on one and the same question on the Monday following. On the clause giving "power to her MAJESTY, by order in Council, to declare the sugars of other countries to be admissible as not being the produce of slave labour," the question naturally arose as to the possibility of obtaining certificates under these terms which could be safely re lied upon ? It is abundantly clear that the admis sion of foreign sugars, at the very reduced rate per cwt. settled by the new plan of Government, must have a natural tendency to defeat the great ob • jects of our magnificent emancipation experiment in 1833, by giving a fresh stimulus to the employment of slave labour in foreign colonies, where the con dition of slavery is not yet abolished. The only course which Government have to pro pose for counteracting this tendency, is to re quire proof of the fact of the produce having been raised, bona fide, by free labour. If we may judge from the simplicity with which Mr. GLAD stone talks of the "guarantees" that will be afforded by these certificates, we must suppose that the Right Hon. Gentleman never heard of those redoubtable and notorious forgeries of ships' papers, passes, &c., used by none of our mercantile houses with so little scruple or such signal success as those of Liverpool, in the late war. They were known by the dilated designation of " Simulated papers ;" are well remembered at Lloyd's and on the Royal Exchange of London to this day, and were composed, prepared, and fabri cated by responsible firms, which absolutely addressed " Circulars" to the principal commercial establish ments of the United Kingdom, apprising the parties addressed of the terms on which the writers sup plied them ; with " satisfactory" references to those who had largely profited by employing their "papers."—Of course no such agency would be again invoked in order to pass off slave-grown for free labour sugars in the foreign ports of shipment. Of course, we might anticipate that the certificates from sugar growing states of the American Union, would never justify Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S admitted appre hensions of their deficiency in genuineness. Of course, on this side of the water, fraud or collusion in passing such defective instruments can never be rea sonably dreaded—whilst the detected portion of our Custom-House frauds still supplies our courts of law with cases for the visitation of their penal justice. The objection thus taken in limine to the efficacy of the Ministerial plan, was met by Sir ROBERT PEEL with one of his official platitudes. The Pre mier considered " that the Right Hon. Gentleman had asked what the Government would do in certain hypothetical cases ?" How they could be other than hypothetical ones before they had actually occurred, it is not very easy, Sir ROBERT, to understand. "If any such cases should occur, which was highly im probable, there would be time enough to deal with them next year." Let the slave cultivator be ground by unnaturally excited labour, into the thirsty soil, watered by the sweat of his brow, or tinged with the blood that has followed the infliction of the whip upon his back,—in the mean time, our benevolent Government will make it right in another year ! But that deferred remedy cannot be applied for two years—because the operation of this Bill is to be for one. Now Mr. VERNON SMITH re marked with much point and force on the limited and very erroneous views the Board of Trade had adopted as to the extent to which a condition of domestic sla very fosters and extends the practice of slavery and the traffic in slaves. In China this state of domestic slavery exists to an enormous extent. We all know from It may be remembered that, in the House of Lords slfTw- nights' .ago, Earl F/TZIIARDINGE having stated that in - the Almonry there were twenty-four notori ous houses of ill-fame, all the property of the Dean and Chapter.of Westminster, the Bishop of GLOU CESTER. denied the statement with much virtuous in. :dignation, observing;—f` Two years ago the subject was brought before the Chapter, when they were in ft‘rmed that no steps could be taken, because the pro. petty was under lease, but as the' :leases ran out they refttsed to renew, and thus abated the nuisance. But they had determined to take a still stronk,"er step, and out . 4lf their own funds to purchase the rem‘ - { inder of the -- . leases. They h a d d one so , an d f rom their .own ,xesources they had purchased the remainder •thie leases, and the houses of bad reptte ai Peen, pull e d d own and destroyed." Here we %SqEN lain Hive a n d di st i nct statement made by a gra - oe ,d 7nitarv, apparently on his own personal . 'f e. tkete of the facts.

How did this consist with the rejection of the sugars of Brazil and Cuba But the sugars of Java and Siam were also to be admitted. Both of these are slave countries! Lord PALMERSTON also showed that domestic slavery was fed by the slave trade, and instanced the Ottoman dominions as a salient example of the fact. The Noble Viscount, indeed, in his felicitous and off-hand manner at once exposed what we must call the cant and the mistake of the system now upheld by Government on this point. " Then, again, he said the mere fact of opening th e British market to sugar which was, in their opinion, the pro duce of free labour, or which was really and truly the pro duce of free labour, did virtually give as great encourage ment to the produce of slave labour, as if they directly ad mitted it into our market. He would not call it hypocrisy, because that implied some purpose to deceive those to whom it was addressed; but he would say a more barefaced delu sion--(Cheers)—one more open-sighted, clear as noon-day, obvious to the meanest capacity, never was propounded to Parliament, than to pretend that they were continuing the oiscouragennut to slave-grown sugar when they were with- THE SUN, LONDON MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1844.

THE BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN, ON A PETITION 07 The SoLicrTou-GENERAL, this morning, opened the case, in opposition to the Baron's claim. He denied that the Go vernment had ever received funds to liquidate the Baron de Bode's claim. The convention for the payment of a certain sum by France for the claim, was entered into in 1818, while the Baron did not make his claim until 1819. It was perfectly competent for the Commissioners to have refused to entertain this claim at all, inasmuch as he had not put in his claim in time • but instead of that they admitted his claim and investigated it ; they had no interest whatever in dociding against his claim. They, however, felt bound to decide against it. The Court of Appeal, the Com mittee of the Privy Council, at which sat Lord Stowell and Sir W. Grant, also decided against the claim. So that, ad mitting every fact as stated by Baron de Bode, his claim had been adjudicated on according to Act of Parliament and re jected, and he had no locus standi in the Court, and had no right to come forward under this obsolete form of proceeding. Besides, how was it possible he could say that her present Ma jesty had received a sum of money for his use ? She had no con trol over this fund. Her Royal predecessor had no control over it. It had been paid into the Bank under the provisions of an Act of Parliament, and Gea. 4, in whose reign it had been so paid, and had no authority over it. Therefore, they might re turn a general verdict that h er M a j esty had no such pro perty in her possession ; but he apprehended that they would hardly be satisfied that the cession of the property was legal, or that the Baron was a British subject. He was most anxious that it should be thoroughly understood that every facility had been given to the Baron de Bode to prove his claim, and that the observations which had been made el the hardness with which he had been treated were utterly unfounded. Lord DENROT then proceeded to sum up, and, after briefly alluding to the unusual mode of proceeding by petition of right, and explaining the various steps taken under its authority, from the time of its presentation to the Lord Chancellor to the present moment, his Lordship went on to offer some observations on - the evidence. There could be no doubt but that the petitioner was born in England, and of an English mother. Neither could there be any doubt but that by the treaty of Westphalia, by which Alsace was trans ferred to France the feudal rights of the seigneurs were pre served; but these matters of foreign law must be:considered by the jury themselves as though they were matters of fact. It was proved that Baron Charles received the investiture of the fiefs, and the claimant received it as his heir. But the National Assembly of France in 1790, by a decree, abolished feudal rights, and if that decree affected the laws of succession, then this feudal property became allodial property, and it wouldie - for the jury to say how far that decree affected the cession made in 1791, and whether or not that decree affected the right of succession in Alsace. Then with regard to the cession itself, they would recollect the evidence of one of the learned persons from Strasburg, as to the law of Alsace, by which it appeared that the result, in the event of the death of the minor during the time the father held the fiefs, would have been, that the property would revert to the Elector, and not go to the claimant's brother; that had been used on the part of the Crown as an are - anent to show that the cession was merely colourable. If the cession were merely colourable the Baron Charles still continued in possession ; if they were satisfied that it was a perfect cession the claimant was the owner. Then they came to the question of confiscation. There was no evidence to show that the claimant was illegally or unduly condemned for emigration, and it would be for the jury to say how far they were satisfied on that point. He would not allude to the award of the Commissioners, because if their award was a final bar to the Baron's claim, that bar ought to have been pleaded by the Crown; but, not having been so pleaded, the Baron de Bode was not called upon to enter into any discussion on that point. The first question the jury would have to decide was, whether the Baron Charles made a valid renunciation to his son in 1791. The second question was, whether the pro perty in question, being the property,kf the claimant, was illegally and unduly confiscated. WifE regard to the value of the property it did not appear that there was any question. A juryman _What is the total amount of the claim, my Lord. Lord DEXALIN—The amount given by the former inquisi tion is 3 64,2661., and if you are of opinion that the claim is made out, they claim something additional for interest. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL submitted that there was no evidence to go to the jury on the allegation in the petition, that the sum paid by France was augmented for the purpose of liquidating the Baron's claim. Mr. HILL contended that there was evidence to that point. Lord DENMAN could only understand by that allegation that the name of Baron de Bode, as claiming for the pro perty of Soultz, was expressly brought under the notice of the French Government, and some express agreement come to on the subject. That certainly did not appear by the evidence. There were also two other points which they would find for the Crown, viz., that the claim did not accrue within six years, nor during the reign of her present Majesty; so that, in fact, the only question they would really have to determine was, whether or not, at the time of the confisca tion, the property of Soultz was the property of the late Baron Charles de Bode, or of the present claimant Baron Clement de Bode. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, which they had not returned when we went to press. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL.) MAUGUAN EADE AND OTHIRS.

A ruffianly-looking fellow, a carpenter by trade, was charged with assaulting Sarah Wilcox. It appeared from the evidence, that the complainant is a married woman living apart from her husband—and the prisoner has been for long time living idly on her hard earn ings. On Satuiday night, he came home drunk ; and upon some trivial provocation, beat the poor woman so severely, that her face was much contused and swollen.

Cook, placed before Mr. Bond, ch A a Q rg datj ed mE w E ith N ia S3 v ..o i Q n u g nljg v rn i A ol a e ltn n ' t m y .; as ".: saulted Ann Clements, a young married woman, and also with having robbed her of a purse, containing four shillings. Mrs. Clements stated that whilst she was standing opposite to the Castle public-house, in Little Chapel .street, Westmin ster, a mob of persons came out and conducted themselves in the most violent manner, some fighting, and others assault ing persons who were passing in that direction. The pri soner, who was one of the p arty, struck complainant's brother, who was standing by, an d when she attempted to release him from the prisoner's hold, he (the prisone r ) gave her a violent blow, and knocked her down ; and whilst in that position she was severely kicked by him She then felt the prisoner put his hand into her pocket, and when she got away she found herself minus the purse. Mrs. Johnson, who witnessed the assault, corroborated the above. She stated that, after seeing the assault, she fol lowed the prisoner, and gave him into custody; and on doing so she was herselfseverely struck by hi m. Mr. BOND inquired how it was the complainant was abroad at that hour at night? Complainant stated that she was an artificial flower maker, and that she, was waiting for her brother who was then trying to dispose of a few of those articles. The prisoner's father, an old man, here stepped forward, and wished to show that his son had to work very hard for his living; he was never a thief, nor had he ever committed an assault. Mr. BOND said his working hard had nothing to do with the case. If he-spent his money in a public-house that would be of little service tokira ; but he should give the prisoner an opportunity of bringing forward witnesses for his defence, by remanding him till to-morrow. The pnserfer was then remanded. No money was found in his possession. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Edward Harrison was charged with threatening to murder a woman named Matthews, who appeared as a witness against him a few days previously. The complainant stated that she gave evidence against the prisoner on an alleged charge of felony, on the 18th instant, at this Court. That on the preceding day he met her in the street, and swore he would " do for her," and that before three days were expired, he would have her house about her ears. He used other language of a threatening nature, and she was apprehensive he would do her some serious injury. The MAGISTRATE said, that threatening a witness was an offence of a most serious nature, and that he should make the prisoner find good bail to keep the peace. Catherine Day was charged with committing a violent assault on a woman named Green, whose countenance, which was bruised and swollen, exhibited the severity of the attack. It appeared the parties were acquainted, and that on the preceding day the defendant, who was walking with a man, exclaimed, Now I have caught you, I'll serve you out ;" and immediately tore the bonnet off her head, and beat her on the face. The man encouraged the defendant, saying, that if she did not "settle" the complainant, he would give her ( the defendant) a good hiding. Defendant, encouraged by such language, renewed the attack on complainant, and beat her in the manner she then appeared. The MAGISTRATE held the defendant to bail, and directed that the fellow who encouraged her in the attack should be takeninto custody. VISIT OP PRINCE ALBERT TO THE OLD SAVOY CHURCH IN THE STRAND.—This afternoon, shortly after one o'clock, His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Sir Edward Bowater, arrived at the Old Savoy Church, in a private carriage, for the purpose of inspecting the interior, which has been redecorated in a splendid style at the ex pense of her Majesty, the Queen. His Royal Highness was received by the Chancellor of the Duchy, Lord Granville Somerset; the Rev. Mr. Edwards, the evening lecturer, and Mr. Palmer, the chapel-warden, who conducted him through the chapel. His Royal highness remained there about half, an hour, when he returned to Buckingham Palace. SUGAR DUTIES.—On Saturday the Bill on which the recent division took place, which has been amended in Committee and on Report, was printed. The duties imposed by 6 and 7 Will. 1V.,, c. 26, and 3 and 4 Vic, c. 17, are to be continued till the sth July, 1845, with the Custom Duties, and an additional duty of five per cent. Her Majesty by order in council to declare the sugars of other countries to be admissible as not being the produce of slave labour. By the seventh provision, power is given to her Majesty by order in council to declare, that the sugars of countries with which her Majesty has treaties of reciprocity as to duties, be ad missible at 345. per cwt., and five per cent., additional. Her Majesty may allow the importation of sugar, the growth of certain British possessions, at the lower rate of duty. There are 25 sections in the Bill, The Bishop of LONDON may blush with envy at this towering flight of pharisaical mancnuvreing. And yet this Bill is still before the House of Commons I Madrid journals of the 16th inst. have been re ceived, but they bring no news. The Three per Cents. were done at 27,i for cash, 271 for the 30th inst., and the Five per Cents. at 20 for the 21st inst. The discussion on the proposed railway lines through out France still occupy the Chamber of Deputies, but do not promise a very satisfactory result. There is evidently a great difference of opinion between the Government and the Members as to the share the State should take in these great undertakings. The Government plan is, that the State should be only at the expense of forming the line, leaving the laying of the rails, building carriages, &c., to companies ; while a.considerable number of the Deputies are of opinion that the whole work should be completed by the State. On Saturday a division took place on this question in reference to the Paris and Lyons line. On the order of the day being read for a grant simply to construct the road, M. GAUTIER DE ROMILLY moved, as an amendment, that a sum, not exceeding 62,000,000 francs, be placed at the disposal of the Government, to enable it to construct the road, and also lay down the rails along the entire line. The amendment was carried by a majority of 1, the numbers for the amendment being 138, and against 137. After these discussions have been brought to a close, another subject of a more interesting character will be brought before the Chamber—namely, the present state of the finances. The report on the Budget, drawn up by M. BIGNON, has just been printed and distributed among the Deputies, and it is not certainly of a very cheer ing description. The expenses for the year are estimated at 1,276,106,791 f. (51,000,0001.) ; the de ficits from 1840 to 1844 amount to 178,562,000 f. (7,100,0001.) ; and the floating debt to 300,000,000 f. (12,000,0001.) The reductions proposed do not ex ceed 3,790,766 f. The Committee proposed no reduc• tion in the army with the exception of recommending the suppression of 2,000 artillery horses. The total effective stands thus :-344,000 infantry ; 84,416 ca valry; and, with the proposed reduction, 11,000 artil lery. The steam navy consists of 47 vessels. The following additional details appear in the Journal des Debats " The extraordinary budget, which is considerably in creased in the course of this session, is pointed out with clear ness and precision in the report of the Committee. The general credits granted by the Bill of 1841, for the execution of the different public works, have risen to 496,821,400£ The credits opened by the railroad bills, for the improvement of the ports, and the fortifications of Havre, are estimated at 534,180,000 f. The total therefore of the deficits, including the excess of the ordinary budget, amounts to 1,209,563,8471:, but by deducting credits, which are only eventual, and reckoning the annuity of thereserve of the sinking fund, and the last two-thirds of the loan, the floating debt for this year may be put down at 203,639,842 f. " The question of the reimbursement of the consolidated debt in live per Cent. Bentes, which amounts to a capital of 2,940,309,600 f., represented by 147,040,480 f. of rente, was the subject of serious examination by the Committee. The Minister of Finance was asked whether he considered con version as possible, and if he thought the proposition might be brought forward at the opening of the next session. The Minister, although admitting the necessity of giving a solu tion to the question, refused to fix any precise period at which the Cabinet would take the initiative in this impracti cable measure. " This reserve of the Minister is sufficiently accounted for by the financial situation of the country. In fact, as the pre vious deficits and the sums voted for the ports and railways may oblige the Government to have recourse to a loan at no very distant period, an idea of conversion might have a serious effect on credit. " The proposition of the Minister of Finance tending to reduce from four to three per cent. the interest paid by the Government for the guarantee deposits lodged in the hands of the State by officers holding responsible situations, was warmly opposed by a part of the Committee, and supported as strongly by others. The division of their opinions was so nicely balanced that the Committee refrained from giving any opinion, but will lay the arguments pro and con. before the Chamber. " The principal reductions proposed by the Committee are principally economics on the estimates of the different Minis tries, and are chiefly connected with the war budget. The Commission accepts the proposed effective strength of the army at 344,000 men, and 84,416 horses, as it has been fixed by the Minister of War. It considers this force as sufficient to keep up the organisation of the army, and give complete security to the country. The report speaks in terms of com mendation of the initiative taken by Marshal Soult, in pro posing a reduction in his budget of 4,000 men, and 1,000 horses, and soliciting him to persevere in the course he has begun. The budget of the Minister of Foreign Affairs has been approved in its most essential points; a reduction of 50,000 francs only being proposed on the chapter for foreign missions. " The question of the steam navy also occupied much of the attention of the Committee. The number of steam-vessels on the Ist of January 1844, was—one of 540 horse power; three of 450 ditto; one of 320 ditto; seven of 220 ditto; twenty-one of 160 ditto ; one of 150 ditto ; two of 120 ditto ; one of 100 ditto; live of 80 ditto; three of 60 ditto; two of 30 ditto; making together 47 of a strength of 8,210 horses, but this strength remains to be brought up to that of 15,550 horses, in conformity with the provisions of the different votes passed on the subject." The report concludes with a recommendation to the different Ministers, of care and precision in the pre- partition of their respective budgets, and requires that for the future there shall be annexed to each budget a list of the employes and the amount of salaries received.

Of course, they must thereby diminish the supply, and increase the price of the rest, and give consequently a. direct, im mediate, and considerable encouragement to the growth of sugar by the labour of slaves.— (Cheers.)" 'lo show how perversely this device of Ministers is persisted in, against the most reasonable and logical objections founded on the analogy of the social condi tion of certain foreign possessions, not included with in its scope, we may mention that Sir J. HANAIER— " Wished to know, why Porto Rico, where much free-labour sugar was produced, was not included in the number of those places whence such produce would be admitted into the Bri tish market ? " Mr. W. E. Gladstone said it was quite true that free labour sugar was produced in Porto Rico ; but slave labour was also employed in the production of sugar in that coiantry, and it would be impracticable to make any distinction in fa vour of its produce." In what respect more impracticable than in the strictly parallel instance of American sugar from the United States ? And if sugar may 'be imported from the partly slave, partly free-labour cultivated planta tions of the States of the Union, under certificates— why not, also, from the plantations, similarly culti vated, of Porto Rico under the like guarantees, such as they are ? But the plan is a puerility altogether; an attempt to compromise between the just rights of the British consumer, the fair demand of the British West Indian grower for a reduced duty of 205., and the anxiety of the Minister to raise a certain addi tional amount of revenue, in the shortest possible time, at any sacrifice of principle which he can manage to clothe with the flimsy pretext of rigorously up holding the great principle to which we are pledged of abolishing by all legitimate means the continuance of slavery. But, "facilis descensus Averni." From inconsistency to inconsistency—from hypocrisy to hypocrisy—from pretext to pretext—where a truth is to be concealed or a wrong to be effected, the pro gression is at railroad pace. Mr. PATRICK STBWART completed the degradation of this pitiful measure by two home pushes. The one regarded the most invi dious exception made by Government in favour of Java, where, he asserted, the labourers were abso lutely " adscripti glebce"—transferred with the soil and forced to till it. Each man, we should say, has a sort of reserved equity of redemption—indeed ; since he can separate himself from this bondage on payment of a certain money premium to the master ; but not otherwise. "That this was virtually slavery might be imagined from the fact that when re-established in 1836, a rebellion and consequent massacre of the labourers occurred. The slavery might be modified and mitigated, but slavery it was." When we remember the scandalous conduct of the Netherlands Government about this very island of Java, and our trade with it, as evidenced in that shameless violation of the treaty of 1824, we must again marvel at the title Java can have established to an admission into our markets with her slave-raised sugars. But the other downward thrust given by Mr. STEWART we subjoin in this epigrammatic state ment : " He could state further, as showing the utter futility of the principle of legislation now proposed, that he knew of a cargo of slave-grown Brazilian sugar recently—and since these sugar debates—shipped from Liverpool for Bombay, in order there to displace so much East India sugar which might be exported to this country.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear,' and a few expressions of doubt.) He knew he should be met with intimations of doubt, so he had taken care to be pro vided with particulars.—(Hear, hear.) The cargo was im ported to Liverpool in the Mary Howell, from Pernambuco, and was shipped for Bombay in the Australia—(Hear, hear) —that it might be consumed in the East ladies in place of so much free-labour sugar which would be imported into this country.—(Loud cries of 'Hear, hear.')" _ _ _ - .... ....... - ~ , -1_ I.:Ong Annuiti es , E xpire st h Jan. 1860 l2 '16% India Bonds,l,ooo 96 Ditto under 1,000 — Consols for Account 9BN % Exchequer Bills, 150.

The following are extracts from letters received at Lloyd's his day : Heligoland, June 19, 1 844. " A black board, with 'Manchester in gilt letters on it, with some cotton twist attached to it, has been picked up this morning to the north, outside the River Elbe. It is reported by some of the fishing boats that a quantity of cabin furni ture and pieces of wreck have been passed drifting about." " Hamburgh, June 21, 1844. " We are sorry to add that the Manchester steamer was lost on the Sandy Island Riessen, at the Eider, whe re th e wreck is still lying. It is reported that none on board have been saved ; but that part of her cargo was driven ashore.", "Cuxhaven, June 22, 1844. "Some cotton twist has been picli.ed up and landed here, supposed belonging to the Manchester steamer, from Hull to liambrurgh." MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a fair demand on Saturday for Cotton at Liver pool from the trade at steady prices. Sales 4,500 bales. Spe culators and exporters were inactive. Shares were quiet— Liverpool and Manchester, 223 ; Birmingham, 218 ; Ditto Quarters, 24i; Midland Counties, 94; Paris and Lyons, 3/. 95.; Ditto and Rosen. U. At the present moment a considerable degree of interest is taken in the City at the state and condition of the principal grain markets throughout the United Kingdom, as indica: tive of the exportations of the yield in the several localities. Now, while the great metropolis, a n d it s v i c i n ity, h as su f. feredfrom an absence of good rains for mazy weeks past, (those that have occurred scarcely moistening the surface) almost every district beyond 25 miles from London, has been blessed with genial showers. The Hull Corn Trade Report states that in the wheat district there, and in other places northward, rains had prevailed, during all the week, and that the sales of corn had fallen off. This was the case at Wakefield. The anticipation entertained in many quarters that a speculative demand will pre vail for foreign wheat has not yet been realised to any extent. Still there can be no doubt that very considerable importations will take place,.from the Baltic and other Continental ports very shortly, in the hope that prices will rise for it, and profits be realised. Independently of the information contained in the letters to our Morning Contemporaries from Southampton, relative to. West Indian affairs, the private mercantile advices are deficient: of interest. It is not immaterial, however, to note that vegetation, in most of the plantations was in a progressive and satisfactory condition. Com plaints 'were still, however, made that the labouring population were disposed to inactivity. The rumoured in tention of her Majesty's Government to alter the sugar duties in favour of foreign free grown produce, had excited some sensation; and a meeting to petition Parliament against the agitation of such topics frequently, by which operations in the Colonies were unhinged, was in contemplation. It was not anticipated that the private and country bankers would, through the efforts of their delegates, obtain any modifications of the plan of the Government for the future registration of the currency and banking in England. At the recent interviews there were several points pressed upon Sir.R.Peel, which, it is asserted in well informed circles, were met with favour by him, and probably this evening the ultimatum of the Minister will be stated to Parliament. The deputation deserve to be successful, as they have worked hard and continuously for the benefit of the general body whom they have represented. It will be observed that Bank of England Stock is heavy, in consequence of an impression that the Government will yield in some way to the wishes of the private and joint-stock banks. The commercial letters from New York, and other parts of America, do not contain any news of much interest as to trade. No question an attempt will be madd to influence the Cotton Market in consequence of the exaggerated accounts of the damage done to the plants by the overflowing of the Mississippi. A rather dull market has prevailed this morning for Con sols, which, for the Account, have just been sold at 98g. We have not heard of any large sales of Stock. Reduced Three per Cents. have receded from 99i to 99* ; and the Three-and-a- Half per Cents. Reduced at 104. Exchequer Bills have fallen to 735. premium. The demand for money has advanced. Bank Stock is at 194, and India Bonds were at 94 96 premium. An opinion was entertained on Saturday, that the divi lends upon the Three per Cent. Spanish Bonds would be advertised to-day; and as there was no confirmation of the statement to this effect, the market has been fiat to-day-- the Actives at 23k, and the Threes at 35. Still our informa tion is that the interest upon the latter, due the Ist proximo, will be forthconiing. A further advance has taken place in the Dutch Securities, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. having just been quoted a t 62g, an d t h e Fi ve per Cents. to 100*. In the other Continental and South American Bonds, the transactions have been but few to-day. Not much business has been reported in the Railway Share Market this morning. The quotations are very nearly the same as on Siiturday. London and Birmingham have been done at 119 premium ; North Midland at 6 discount ; and York and North Midland at 72 premium. London and West minster Bank Shares •are at 6* premium, and London Joint Stock Bank at 44 premium. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK, (From the Official List.) Bank Stock l9B 3 per Cent.

However, the very first qualities found buyers at prices quite equal to those obtained last week ; but, in all other descriptions, next to nothing was doing, and the rates were considered a trifle lower. Foreign Wheat, duty on which has been paid, last week, upon about 4,500 quarters, met a very dull sale, IL prices barely equal to thoselnoted in our last report. Super fine qualities of English Barley sold steadily at very full prices. Fine white parcels of Malt were .at a trifle more money. All , other qualities the turn lower, while - the de mand was by far less animated. The quotations for Oats were supported without difficulty. Peas and Beans at barely late rates. The Flour trade was extremely dull. ' CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 22.—The King presided the day before yesterday in a Council of Ministers. The Chamber of Re presentatives proceeded at the commencement of the sitting to-day to the second vote of the project of law on tobacco. It was passed, without a debate; by a majority of 70 to 1. M. de Tornaco was _ the _ only one that voted against it. M. de Garcia declined voting. The Minister then passed several votes of credit for the department of the interior, of finance, public wo r k s , an d th e marine, and a provisional credit of ten millions for the army. The remaining orders of the day having been disposed of, the the Chamber adjourned sine die. The Organ du Commerce, a Cologne journal, has the follow ing article from New York :—" A private letter from New York, dated May 27, of the veracity of which we have no doubt; states that the negotiations for "a treaty of commerce between the United States and the Customs' Union, may be considered as broken off, and that it is not probable that they will be resumed, because the American Government makes extravagant demands, while on its part it will make only trifling concessions." _ _ FIRE AT BOSTON. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) BOSTON, JUNE 23.—We were, at one o'clock this morning, alarmed byone of the most destructive fires which ever oc curred in this town. It broke out in- the- premises of Mr. Slater, ship-chandler, Southend. The - premises were soon in flames, as well as the granaries occupied by Mr. J. Daulton, seed merchant, and much valuable seed was destroyed and damaged. Tt then communicated to the premises of Messrs. Lewin and Ralf', merchants ; but owing -to the report of a great deal of gunpowder being on the premises, and small explosions having taken place, numbers of persons were deterred from rendering assistance. The wind was, fortunately very still; and the poor families in the immediate neighbourhood were to be seen in the greatest distress removing their goods into the market-place, and into a pasture, called Mears's Pasture. At three o'clock, the Ship Tavern, which adjoins the Custom-house caught fire, and the greatest fears for the safety of that building and the London Tavern were entertained, but through the perseverance of the inhabitants and the in trepid conduct displayed by the fire brigade and the police, they succeeded in confining it to the above premises, and by four o'clock all further danger was at an end. Owing to the continued dry weather the scene was truly awful. The signal and flag staff onthe top of the Cuttom:house was totally de stroyed, as was the Ship Tavern adjoining. The fire was seen for more than twenty miles round. This being Sunday there is no chance of ascertaining the amount of damage, or if the sufferers are insured. THE SUGAR DUTIES DIVISION. The following letter has been addresied tb Mr. Cobd en , b y Mr. Sharman Crawford, who was unavoidably absent on the division on the sugar duties Crawfordsburn, June 21, 1844 . " Dear Cobden,—l see you and my other!free-trade friends are violently abused for voting with the Minister on the late division. ow, being firmly convinced that the preposition of Mr. Miles was framed and supported by those who were the originators of it, with the sole view of creating a greater arneunt'of protection in favour of the West Indian monopoly, I take the liberty of expressing to you my entire agreement with your opposition to it, and to assure you that had I been in the House I should have joined you ; and although, from unavoidable circumstances, I was absent on that occasion, I shall have no wish, when any opportunity occurs, to shrink from the responsibility of the opinion - I now express to you. I cannot understand how those who, a few nights before, voted for the abolition of all protecting duties, on the motion of Mr. Ewart, could reconcile' it with the profession of the free-trade cause to vote for Mr. Miles' motion, the object of which was to increase protection. I acknowledge that I was proud to see that you voted on principle, and that you did not sacrifice the integrity of that principle to the paltry objects of party expediency. " I regret very much that I was absent on the division, as I should not have hesitated to share the odium which an honest vote would impose, whether derived - front Whig or Tory abuse and misrepresentation. " Yours, very truly, " WILLIAM SHARMAN CRAWFORD. " R. Cobden, Esq., M.P." THE LORD LIEUTENANCY OF IRELAND.—It is con sidered probable that the Duke of Buocleuch will be the suc cessor of the Earl de Grey. The high personal character of his Grace, his amiable qualities, and the- munificence with which he devotes so large a portion of his princely fortune to the noblest purposes, have long made the Duke one of the most popular members of the British arist oc racy. —.Post.
