'b, • SECOND EDITION. lilt LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1844. The Bishop of EXETER, ;ike another Julians, seems resolved to create a popular ferment by his Letters. Scarcely is the ink dry with which he penned his two former ones, when he issues a third addressed to the churchwardens of two parishes in Exeter. This last epistolary communication breathes precisely the same spirit as its predecessors. The language is studiously courteous—the tone firm and unbending to a degree• "The voice is the voice of .1. ACOB, htv..t the hands are the hands of Es iv." Like o; I GEostoE the THIRD, the Bishop sticks firm to his If rerog,ative. He will not tolerate even the slightest , ' , liir aur of remonstrance against his decrees.. He is tt T ire rigid martinet than even Colonel MARTINET firm ;elf, the notorious dis'Plinarian in the days of t he Grande Mona.•;.que. He has erdained that then shall be changes le the Church service faro ughout his 60eese, and changes there shall be, Do r .latter how til.`stasteful they may be to the great bol: y- of the Devonshire laity. He acknowledges that , the ch',nges are of no great moment—that some •W t hem '.re even of a trifling character—but his fiat r espeer,ng them has gone forth, and—like the laws < if the Medea end Persians—that sovereign fiat must ) , !I'.eld immutable. In justification of the arbitrary cP arse he is pursuing, the Right Rev. Prelate pleads o' ..ae 'necessity of restoring peace and harmony to the ' t ;hurch. We a c k now l e d ge th e n ecessity, but we t env the wisdom of the means taken for bringing u 1 i :, : l ot is t among :seek to place on the firmest fo(.ting—peace in the 'Church, which cannot ha secured without uniformity . l the restoration myfirs otf duties," s, ordern says among the the Bishop, cl e r , g , t y. o 11 - 'n the worship of ALmronTY GOD." What flimsy sophistry is this ! How (1003 the substitution <,.f the white surplice fur the black gown contribute to secure uniformity of worship ? The question i s : lot one of cketrine, but simply one of form, and therefore is in no way connected with worship. But 7 hen, says the Right Reverend Prelate, I enforce the i - wearing of the surplice as a means of restoring peace AR gle Church. The answer to this argument shall ,i.) given in the words of the Exeter Post;—" In the 1 ~ .hurches of St. David, St. Sidwell, and many others ! that we could mention, several of the congregation )t( )ok their departure the moment they saw the 1. - ,i , ergyinan enter the pulpit in his surplice. The fueling of all Church goers appears unanimously to b a that this alleged rubrical ob,ervance is an innova t ion that calls tor an immediate manifestation of , public opinion !" A. change, whose very first effect I is. to produce such results as this, is I ertainly one most happily calculated to restore peace aad harmony! It is as if a man should fling a big ni 'one into a lake, by way of keeping its waters in a st ate of undisturbed calmness. The Bishop professes to be quite astonished at the uproar excited against ,ii s changes in the Church service. They are so 7,r ifling—so innocent—that it is an act of positive 9 bsurdity to protest against them. " They will be ! ound so trifling," ha tells his correspondents, " that I !, - enture to think you will be almost ashamed to re i I ollect that you have suffered the arrogant dictation r ‘.y" London newspapers, or the baseless suggestions .^r persons nearer home, to terrify you with 1 t y')l r) mere a bugbear." If the changes in question : >e. really so trifling and unimportant, why does Dr PHILLPOTTS insist on them with such pertinacity ? Why does he disturb the minds of his laity by enforc ing innovations which he himself directly acknow ledges to be of no earthly importance ? Is it worth while to throw a whole diocese into an uproar for a mere trifle ? But the Right Rev. Prelate knows well—whatever he may choose to maintain to the ontrary—that the surplice question is no such :rivolous one. True, on the first blush of the thing, I i t seems to be of no great moment whether a clergy nan preaches in a black gown or a white one—for it is pis doctrine, and not his dress that is to be regarded; Int then it should be borne in mind that the surplice a virtual encroachment on old principles and asso ' dations—is, in fact, a revival of one of the principal ,yinbols of Catholicism, and was abandoned as such at ,he period of the Reformation. It is in this light ,hat the laity of Exeter seem to regard it ; and whether they be right or wrong in their view of the luestion, we do think that the Bishop is hound in ustice to make a concession to their conscientious prejudices —more especially as he himself admits that ;he surplice is a change of so purely a trifling cha racter as to be hardly worth a moment's serious consideration. We say nothing of his charge of ar rogance launched so unceremoniously against the " London journals." Ile should be a good judge of what is, and what is not, arrogant, for no man has dealt more largely in this commodity than himself ; :ind we suppose he is jealous at seeing—or fancying that he sees—his favourite monopoly invaded by the :Metropolitan Press. We have not yet done with the _Bishop of EXETER, for we clearly foresee that for ,some time to come he will be constantly before the aniline, in consequence of the popular turmoil which lie is exciting so officiously throughout the length and , )readth of his diocese. We regret to perceive, by the advertised resolu tions of a meeting of bankers, landed gentry, and others, of the county of Lam rk, held at the County hall in Hamilton on the I.sth instant, the Right Hon. Lord BELHAVEN in the chair, that there is still an influential portion of the Scottish people whose op position to the monetary legislation of Sir R. P.nal. is based upon a very limited, and, therefore, very dangerous view of the question. Keenly alive to the impolicy and mischief of endeavouring to substitute for a national symbolic currency (of small bank notes) a gold circulation of positive intrinsic salon (and for that very reason of fearfully fluctuating quantity), the Lanarkshire requisitionists appear to have no sympathy with the sufferings of this enormous portion of the empire. Sir R. PEEL'S fatal con trivance of 1819, with its " complement" of 1843 is all very good, it seems, for England; yet the same Minister's infatuated propensity for tampering in Scotland with the same species of monetary system which those measures have overthrown and extin guished south of the Tweed, is justly denounced by the same requisitionists as an uncalled-for and mis chievous experiment, having for its object to over throw a condition of things under which, for one hundred and fifty years, Scotland has steadily ad vanced in her marvellous career of agricultural, com mercial, and social improvement. IVe own, with pain, that unless we could imagine the Lanarkshire meeting disposed, at the sacrifice of their own better convictions and practical experience on the subject, to bespatter Sir ROBERT PEEL with eulogies for the desolation and decay which he has brought upon the debtor interest and the enormous masses of the in dustrial producing classes of this country, by a scheme of currency imposing inevitable limitations and restraints on commercial enterprise, a permanent tendency of increasing depression in prices and wages—unless we can imagine the Lanarkshire meet ing willing to make so unworthy a compromise with ,the sound principles they advocate, in order to en ure, if possible, the concession of them to the case of Scotland, exclusively, at the expense of England and of Ireland, we cannot reconcile the antagonistic assertions of one resolution with the avowed doc trines of another. Thus, the ninth resolution affirms " That this great success of the banking system of Scot land" (i.e., with (special reference to i!ei issue of small bank-notes under 51., long since abolished in England in favour of a currency of gold sovereigns) " has been mainly owing to the perfict freedom of iti action, and to the absence of all I,giAlatire interference; and, therefore, Lhis meeting carm stly deprecate any intermeddling now with a sysoem which has filth. rt. worked so w,fl;, unit has proved so undeniably Leueacia to all classes of the country." Now, this was also the condition of things in England when it pleased the present Premier to saddle her with his cruel bun-len of a currency founded on his own Act of Parliament unaltering price, as to that currency, of a commodity fluctuating from day to day and hour to hour, in both price and quantity, in the open markets of all the world outside of the four walls within which he persuaded Parliament to sanc tion his nauseous nostrum. The embarrassments of 1822 ; the hideous panics of 1825 ; the wholesale de solation ( f every house connected with our vast trade to the United States, in 1836, extending through 1837 and 1838 ; the downfal of eminent metropolitan bankers ; the paralysing shocks sustained by com mercial confidence ever since the accelerating down ward pressure on prices; the grinding reduction of the wages of labour and industry ; the spread of pau perism ; the thus engendered between the crippled possessors of property and the starving ap plicants for work, which cannot be given to them; the yearly perishing away of some branch or other of our foreign trade ; the successful competition of :he foreign manufacturer with our best and oldest customers; the despondency of our shipowners who can no longer earn remunerative freights; these are some few among the more remarkable fruits which the gold standard of Sir ROBERT PISEL has bequeathed to be gathered by his country during the last five-and-twenty years. These are the fruits which, so long as his "convertible paper" is to be payable on demand in gold, at the Mint price instead of the market price, she will continue to be doorriod to gather. And it is of such bitter, such poisonous fruits as these, that the resolutions talk in this com mending strain—always on the assumption that the indulgence in such luxuries is not to be extended to Scotland : " That, in return for these certain evils, it has been stated that there is a claim upon Scotland to adopt a gold currency, n o t f a r any practical benefit to herself, but that thereby she may contribute her aid to the re served fund of the precious metals which the Legisla ture has wisely provided should be held by the Bank of England for the ratification of exchanges, and of com mercial and other dealings with foreign countries ; but it appears to this meeting that the burden alleged to he imposed upon the Bank of England is for the general benefit of the empire, and in return for important immu nities conferred, of which Scotland, in the shape of taxa tion and otherwise, contributes her fair proportion, end that London, as the great centre of commercial and muletary dealings, is obviously the place where *the. the d( rangernents referred to can be rectified, the re mit muffs in specie to our merchants being all directed thither. •` That while this meeting, therefore, fully appreciates the value of the reserve of the precious metals referred to, and the periodical publication of its amount as a% important beacon, alike to the statesman, the banker, and the merchant, they must, at the same time, wholly dis claim the belief that whether the three millions of cir culation in Scotland consisted of gold, or of bank-notes convertible into gold on demand,' any perceptikle ab straction could be made from it in aid of that reservk d fund, while the amount of circulation is restricted, as at prcsvnt, to the mere necessities of the country, as a me dium of exchange for its daily transactions." The "reserved fund" of the precious metals "wisely insisted upon by the Legislature," quoad England, forsooth ! If so, Ns by were it not wise to make Scot land a party to the scheme ? The requisitionists know better. Their first resolution declares that the intention of the Government to withdraw from the circulation of Scotland all small bank-notes under 5/., has occasioned in that country a degree of alarm hich the meeting (notwithstanding their respect for the high authority of those who deem such alarm to be without foundation) do not fully concur in. But the second resolution, as comprehending the chief points of political and social importance in that mone tary system which Sir ROBERT PIdEL seems either not to have sufficiently appreciated, or to have strangely overlooked, we give at length : " That the banking system of Scotland, since its com mencement, a century and a half ago, has through suc cessive generations become more and more deeply in terwoven with the whole social 53 stem of our country. Its monetary power, now based upon twetve millions of capital, and, at least, thirty millions of deposits, has grou7u up with the increasing wealth and prosperity of Scot land, in agriculture, commerce, and the useful arts, all of which it has powerfully promoted; and it never posses, ed the confidence and attachment of all classes of the e,,m munity more fully than at present. That it has also eaercised a most salutary influence upon the moral and derly habits of the people ; by the perfect security orered, and by the allowance for the shortest period, mid upon sums so small as 51. or 101., of a reasonable and equal rate of interest, industry, frugality, and sober habits, have been encouraged through all classes, and Scotland has thus enjoyed, for many generations, the benefits which have been only conferred at the present day upon England, by the establishment of savings' banks." The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth resolutions, like wise point to these invaluable, and assuredly indis putable results, after describing the economy and security of the Scottish banking system, the perfect efficiency and competency of its scheme, and its ope ration for all the purposes proposed to be accom plished by it. But will Scotland he at once so unjust and so unwise, so unreasonable and so short-sighted, as to desire that England should continue to groan under a burden of which she herself so well under stands the oppressiveness, in order that she may enjoy a fancied exemption from it ? Can she forget that England is the great mart for that produce which her hitherto undisturbed system of a paper currency has enabled her to raise with so much benefit to herself? Can she be blind to the fact that when England sinks under that burden, as she v, ill assuredly do in a very brief space of time, if she do not succeed in indignantly throwing it off her shoul ders, Scotland must sink with her P But we Nsill not believe that the proceedings of the Lanarkshire meeting represent the sense of a majority of the Scottish people, on a subject in which they have such ample reason to take a deep and honest interest. We have received Madrid journals of the 13th, but they contain no news. The Chambers had not met for several days, and for once we are spared the pain of announcing more executions. NADRID BOLIESE 7 DECEMBER 13.—Three per Cents. 32k at sixty days. Fire per Cents. (same period) 22 ; and Floating Debt, 781 at forty-five days. The leading articles in the Paris journals are not of much interest to the English reader, if we except a short and a very well-drawn character of the Jesuits, which appears in the Journal des Debate. The writer seizes the opportunity of the late melan choly disturbance at I Lucerne for the purpose of pointing out to the French people the dangerous tenets if the sect, and warning them against the en croachments which the Jesuits in the Gallic Church are meditating both against liberty and the present system of education in France. The article is the more important as it applies with equal force to: other churches, and to none more than the Puseyite Church of England. Were the tenets of PUSEY, NEWMAN, WARD, and Co., and we may add, the tenets of a majority of our Bishops, to become dominant in this country, the glo rious system of liberty which England enjoys, and which she owes to the Reformers—especially the ca lumniated Puritans—would in a few short years be scattered to the wind. It is a melancholy truth, which cannot be controverted, that with a very few exceptions, those churches, to whom the education of the p,..0p1e have been entrusted, have been more anxious to increase by that means their despotic power than the moral and pure religious education of the people. It appears from the article to which we refer, that the Government of Lucerne, in a fit of blindness, had invited the Jesuits into the country, and for this the unhappy people now suffer. " There is a fatality," says the Journal des Debate, " attached to this Order since its origin, that wherever it appears, discord arises in the State and in the Church. Were the Jesuits even as inoffensive as they pretend to be, their aid would be too dearly purchased at the price of the blood of the citizens ! Priests, influenced by a verit able spirit of charity, would have stopped short before this blood which was ready to flow ; they would have said, We will not enter amongst you over the dead bodies of your brothers 1' We parti cularly disapprove of the Grand Council of Lucerne's having invited the Jesuits to assume the direction of the Episcopal School. This was intimating a wish to have all the clergy Jesuits, and to favour the pretensions of this Order, which aspires to absorbing the Church itself. Deep politicians as they are, the Jestrits willingly yield to others the external eclat and apparent rights attached to eccle siastical dignities. They care little about not being cures or bishops, provided there be no cure or bishop who has not passed through their hands. What they want is the direction of the ecclesiastical schools, great or small. They know well that the world is ghseened by education, and that the master of the child remains in general the master of the man. When once placed in possession of the ecclesiastical schools, they would form a clergy which would only recognise their maxims. By this clergy they would lord it over the whole of the Catholic world, and move kingdoms. It would no longer be permitted to any one who is not a Jesuit to call himself a Christian. And God only knows what would then become of this liberty, to which they make an arm of at present to arrive at domination ! Simple indeed are they who imagine that liberty is the last word the Jesuits will pronounce I When we demand liberty of con science we demand it as the right of man ; for the Jesuits it is a means. Their empire once re-esta blished, you shall see how they will respect liberty."

On the same day the Arab chiefs were presented to the King by Marshal Soult. Night robberies still continue frequent in Paris and the suburbs. A number of suspicious characters were ar rested on Sunday night and Monday, in the neighbour ing of Montmartre, the Barriere des Martyrs, and the Ilalles. Nearly 40 persons, who had formed part of the bands of robbers that have been lately broken up, or who ware sought for by the police for various offences, were taken into custody.

Last week the officers of justice proceeded from Caen to Sallenelles, to effect the exhumation of the body of a female, named Alexandre, the wife of an ex-mayor of that commune. Tier death had taken place fifteen months before, and suspicions have arisen that her husband had poisoned her. He was arrested, and, after being inter ro,eated, was lodged in the gaol of Caen. The Royal and Central Society of Agriculture on Wednesday held its final sitting for the year. The chief subject brought before the members swas the epidemic amongst horned cattle, now raging in:the north of Ger many. The epizootic distemper, several of the gentle men present declared, differed altogether from the malady which has for a length of time been perceived in some departments of the cast of France ; the former being a sort of contagious typhus, whilst the latter is a contagious peripneumonia. The Society appointed a cemmission to inquire into the precise character of the French malady just alluded to, and to report thereon. The late severo weather had the effect of forcing the wolves in several parts of France to leave their lurking places, and come nearer than usual to human haibitations m search of food.

At Greenwich, Absolom Davis, the master of the Be nevolent School Institution, of Deptford, appeared before the sitting Magistrate, charged by Mr. James Smith, builder, of New King-street, Deptford, with having as saulted in a most violent manner his son Charles Smith, aged seven years. The poor lad is a scholar in the in stitution, and the defendanthad chastised him in the most brutal manner with a thick rope. His body was covered with bruises. Mr. Grove said he had never heard of a more disgraceful proceeding during the time he had a seat upon the bench. It was highly discreditable to the drfendent, and he considered him totally unfit for the situation he held. As the School Committee met that evening, he should for the present defer judgment. The Thigistrate then ordered the case to stand over until Friday next, the 27th inst., on which day he should be prepared to deal with the case.

DEATH of A GLUTTON.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Black Dog, Church-street, Bethnal-green, on the body of William Blocus, aged fifty years. It appeared by the evidence that deceased would frequently totally abstain from food for a great number of hours at a time, in order, as he expressed himself, that he might have the thorough enjoyment of a hearty meal. On Wednesday last he had, in pursuance of his plan, fasted the whole of the day, until between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, when he partook of his supper, which consisted of half a loaf of bread, fish, po tatoes, and a large quantity of plum pudding—after eating which he retired to his room. On the following morning he was found on the floor quite dead, having the whole of his day clothes on, with the exception of his boots, Verdict—Found dead, TRIS DAY'S NEWS QUEEN'S BENCI - 1.-(THIS DAY.)

This was an action of covenant brought by the trustees of the Western Australian Company to recover frtm the defendant the sum of 1,250/, being the amount of a call of 1251. per share on ten shares held by him in that Company. The action was undefended. Mr. Martin and Mr. Peacock appeared for the plaintiffs. The Western Australian Company was established in the year 1841, with a view of promoting emigration to the western ports of Australia, and of encouraging its cultivation. 5001. was the value set upon each share, one fourth of the amount to be paid at the time of pur chase. Calls of 1251. on each share taken was subsequently made, and the object of the pre sent action was to recover the third call against the only solvent shareholder out of six who had not met the call. The defendant had put several pleas on the record, one of which was, that he had not had notice of the call by circular in the manner required by the Company's deed of settlement. Evidence having been gone into on the part of the plaintiffs, and his Lordship having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages, with in terest, 1,3431 15s. CONSISTORY COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before the Eight lion. Dr. LUSHINGTON.) PHILIPS V. PHILIPS. Dr. LUSIIINGTON pronouneed judgment in this case. This was a suit instituted by Mr. Philips, who is a bar rister and conveyancer, for a separation, a mensa et (horo, from his wife, on the ground of an adulterous connexion beta een her and Mr. Charles Ranny. The defence was, that there was connivance on the part of Mr. Philips ; and the state of the facts was as follows :—The parties were married in 1825. They became acquainted in Dieppe with Mr. and Mrs. Runny, and in consequence of circumstances which came to the knowledge of Mr. Philips with regard to the degree of intimacy subsisting between his wife and Mr. Ranny, ho referred the matter to two gentlemen to have the circumstances investigated. They seem to have diligently inquired into the facts, and reported that they believed Mrs. Philips was inno cent of any real criminality, though they left it to be inferred that she was guilty of consider able indiscretion. The parties were separated at this time, and they recommended Mr. Philips, if he so thought tit, to take back his wife. It appeared from the evi dence that Mr. Philips resided at this time in Sloane street, and that his professional avocations used to call him from home at nine o'clock, and that he used not to return till six in the afternoon to dinner. Mrs. Benny was frequently on a visit at Mr. Philips's, and Mr. Ranny used sometimes to sleep in Mr. Philips's house. Mr. Philips took back his wife, and in the year 1840 it appeared that the intercourse between Mr. Ranny and Mrs. Philips was renewed. Mrs. Philips used to sleep from home frequently, and very often she used not to return to her home till ten o'clock at night. She used at these times to sleep at Mr. nanny's, and to remain at his house, and though this was the case, it did not ap pear that Mr. Philips, who used to come home regu larly at six o'clock, made any inquiry as to the absence of his wife. One occasion when she slept from borne two nights in succession, he asked her where she had been, and upon her saying she had been at her sister's, he appeared to be satisfied. Now it appeared that she had not slept at her sister's house more than once during the summer of 1841, and that they were not, in fact, on good terms. Mr. Philips was also aware that Mr. Ranny was in the neighbourhood, for he knew that he gave his (Mr. Philips) boy a model of a ship. Subsequently Mrs. Philips went to Dieppe, where she met Mr. Runny; and there was no doubt of the fact of the adultery being committed there. When she returned the same kind of intercourse between her and Mr. Ranny, which had previously existed, was renewed, and then is was that Mr. Philips moved in the matter. The parties finally separated on the Bth of October, 1842, and the present suit for separation was brought. The question therefore was, whether Mr. Philips under the circum stances was entitled to a separation, and !Whether his conduct did not exhibit such a degree of connivance as to disentitle him to it ? The Learned Judge, after going through the whole case in detail, said with the know ledge which Mr. Phillips had that his wife was absent from his house by night and by day—that with the knowledge that Mr. Runny had been in the neighbour hood—that his boys had been at Mr. Ranny's, and after having instituted previously an investigation into the conduct of his wife, which he knew to be at least indis creet, he ought at once to have interposed in some way or other. There was, therefore, a degree of culpable negligence on his part, but the question which he had to decide was, whether this culpable indifference, with a previous knowledge of the great indiscretion of his wife, and no active steps taken by him to interpose but where cohabitation continued, whether that was in the eye of the law such a connivance as to bar a suit for separation mensa et Moro. The Learned Judge, after referring to the authorities, none of which were applicable to the pre cise circumstances of the present case, but showed that there must be consent and intentional negligence on the part of the hushand,went on to say, that though he could not acquit Mr. Philips of the most supine inertness, when his own honour, the happiness of his children, and the peace and sacredness of his domestic hearth were con cerned—though he could not acquit him of the most culpable and supine indifference—though the circum stances called, and most loudly called for, immediate and active interposition, yet he thought the facts, and the law as he found it laid down, justified him in saying that this case must be brought within the case of "Moroson and Moreson," and he gladly availed himself of the shelter of that high autho rity to give to Mr. Philips the relief he prayed for. In pronouncing judgment in that case that high autho rity, Lord Stowell, says, " I feel I shall tolerate neglect and inattention on the part of husbands, and that I shall pronounce a decree which will not lead to the peace and honour of families, nor the parity of wires." And never would Lord Stowell, feeling and uttering those sentiments, have followed them up with a decree for separation, unless he felt himself bound by the stringency of the law to adopt such a course. Ii such were the consequences of the law, it was not even for Lord Stowell, and much less for him, to deviate from the decisions to which it led, on account of any conso - quences. He therefore pronounced in favour of this se paration, but he wished it to be most clearly understood that the grounds of his judgment were, that there must be a corrupt connivance, which he did not find in this case ; there must be a knowledge, or necessarily pre sumed knowledge, of adulterous intercourse or indecent familiarity, and not finding those circumstances, he thought he was entitled to give Mr. Philips the remedy fur which he prayed.—Judgment accordingly. UNION-HALL.---(THIS DAY.) Edward Edwards was charged with being found on the premises of a gentleman named Bright, at Brixton, for an unlawful purpose, and Margaret Sheen, n. young woman servant in the family, was charged with admitting the former prisoner into the house. It appeared that the female prisoner was nurse for Mr. Bright's family, and that she slept with an infant in a room at the upper part of the house. Between three and four o'clock this morning the complainant was awakened by the crying of his infant, and, on his wife proceeding up stairs, it was found the child was in bed alone, no appearance of the nurse having been there. Mr. Bright immediately descended to th e kit c h en , an d on opening the door, his amazement may easily be imagined on beholding the two prisoners lying hugged in each others arms on a hearth-rug, before a blazing kitchen fire, fast asleep. He did not awaken them, but went for a policeman, and gave them both into custody. On the way to the station.house the female prisoner threw away waistcoat belonging to her master, which she said adhered to her shawl without her knowledge. The other prisoner said that he was paying his addresses to the nurse, and that having called to see her, sleep overcame him, but he declared that he had no intention of doing anything wrong or taking any property. Mr. TRAILL said that he should remand the prisoners until Monday, in order that further inquiry might be made. LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DAY.) LONDON, DEC. 21.—Wind easterly, fresh breezes and cloudy.

The receipts of the revenue were on the increase, and trade remained in much the same state as it had been for some time pre viously. 'l'ne show of Meat at Leadenhall Market, this being the grand day before Christmas, is really a most splendid sight. The supply of Game and Poultry is, we are told, Unprecedently large, but still not by any means cheap, cold weather having most opportunely for the venders set in with extreme severity. The markets all this morning have been excessively crowded with buyers, and an increased amount of business is now doing in al most nll descriptions of provisions. There have not been any continental arrivals of im portance this morning. The accounts relative to the amount of promissory notes issued in Scotland and Ireland, in the month closing on the 7th of December, gives the following general results, viz.—an increase of 318,6971. or from 10,013,4421. to 10,332,139/.

In the seven days' bill there has been a small increase, and also in the stock of bullion of 199,321/. A good deal of business has been done in the money market this morning, and the prices have been extremely firm. The premium upon Exchequer bills has, in fact, risen rapidly, from 585., the opening value of yesterday, to 645., which is the price just now. India Bonds have advanced from 745. to 78s. premium. Consols for the Account have fluctuated only from 1009 to 1001 ; the Three per Cents.

FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAT.) BRUSSELS, DEC. 19.—The average price of wheat last week wes 16f. 92c., and that of rye 101. 48c. per hectolitre. There has been a numerous meeting of workmen at Antwerp, the object of which was to sign a petition for a revisal of the law relative to sugars. Iu consequence of the stagnation of the trade and the closing of the sugar houses, numbers of workmen are out of employ ment. The Chamber of Representatives was engaged yester dly and to-day in Secret Committees in discussir g the pro ject of law for sanctioning the treaty with the Zollverein. It seems by what we have learnt of what passed in the Secret Committee, that some members of the Opposition attacked rather wsrinly the Minister of the Interior. Devaux dwelt on the little dependence that will be placed on the words of the organs of the Government. The Minister of the Interior declared that be made the point in dispute a case of Ministerial responsibility. The point in dispute was whether the treaty gave to Belgium the right of importing its corn into Germany by means of the Rhine, at the same duty as by land, which the Minister affirmed it did.
