wines in cask, and two francs per hectolitre for • wines in bottle. Moreover, the excise duty now ex isting on the same wines will be reduced 25 per cent. The actual import duty existing in Belgium on silk tissues of the Zollverein will be reduced 25 per cent. Pending the present treaty, the customs and excise duties thus reduced cannot be increased and it is understood that the wines and silks of any other origin than those of the Zollverein cannot be subject in Belgium to any more favourable duties than those respectively applied to the wines and silks of the Zollverein. Art. 23. The exports from Belgium of bark for tanning, by the custom-houses of Jalhay, Petit Hear, and Francorchamps, will take place at a duty of 6 per cent. ad valorem. Art. 24. The stuffs of Nuremberg comprised in the Belgian tariff under the category of haberdashery will be separately classed in this tariff at 5 per cent. ad valorem. The import duties into Belgium upon articles of mode from the Zollverein will be fixed at 10 per cent. ad valorem, as determined by the Belgian tariff before the decree of July 14, 1843. Working iron and steel tools, the products of the Zollverein, shall not on entering Belgium be subjected to higher duties than the present ones. The same regulation applies to cotton stuffs of all kinds from the same States. Mineral water of the Zollverein is exempt from all duties on entering Belgium. " Art. 25. Belgium shall continue to admit, at a duty of 5 centimes per 100 kilos., Westphalian or Brunswick thread, until the quantity of 250,000 kilogrammes has been admitted per year. " Art. 26. The law of June 6, 1839, concerning the commercial relations of Belgium with the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg remains in state quo. " Art. 27. In order to favour the commercial rela tions of, and the transit operations between, the States of the two high contracting parties, they re ciprocally promise to render the communication by their land frontiers as easy, quick, and economical as possible. Should precautionary measures be judged necessary on either side, to prevent or repress abuses, they shall be combined in such manner that neither the facility nor the cheapness of the transits towards either territory shall be altered for the worse. " Art. 28. The two high contracting parties reserve to themselves the power of determining hereafter, by mutual accord, the measures to be adopted in order to repress the Custom-house frauds upon the frontier which separates Belgium from the Zollverein. The Belgian Government undertakes to put into force immediately proper measures (by virtue of the 178th and following articles of the law of August 26, 1822, and the 13th and following articles of the law of April the 6th, 1843) to suppress the depots men tioned in the above quoted laws. In return, the Prussian Government undertakes to repress as much as possible all frauds which may be practised to the detriment of Belgium on the Belgico-Rhenish frontier. " Art. 29. Every German State in connexion with the Zollverein shall be considered one of the contract ing parties to the present treaty. " Art. 30. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at Brussels within fifty days, or sooner, if possible. The Belgian Government undertakes, within ten days of the signing of the treaty, to put into force the arrangements of the Ist, 3d, and 22d articles. The treaty will be in force during six years, commencing the 6th of January, 1845. Nevertheless, the two high contracting parties may, by . mutual consent, carry it into effect before that period. Should neither of the high contracting parties, within the six months preceding the expira tion of the above six years, declare o ffi cially its in tention to dissolve the treaty, it will remain in face beyond thht term, and sb on, from year to year. In confirmation of which the respective Plenipo tentiaries have signed the present, and sealed it with their arms. (Signed) " Brussels, Sept. 1, 1844:' " GOBLET, " ARNIM. FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. The discovery of a forgery of Bank of England notes has created great excitement among all who are acquainted with it, as there is every probability of the fraud having been carried on to a most alarm ing extent. The notes discovered to be forgeries are all for 1001., and all of them, it seems, are dated the sth of December, 1843, and one marked with the letters "E," although their numbers are different, as if they formed part of a series. The paper on which they are printed distinguishes this from all similar attempts that have been known for some years. In the ordinary forgeries of 51. notes, the water-mark has been copied on a wooden block, and a mark, snfficiently like the ordinary water-mark to deceive the unpractised eye, has been made on the false note by intense pressure. In these 100/. notes, on the other hand, there is areal water- mark ,such as could only have been obtained by manufacturing paper expressly for that purpose. The parties who have seen the notes declare that they are such excellent imitations, that none but experienced inspectors of the Bank cf England could detect the forgery, and even those only by the most careful examination. As far as can be learned at present, it seems that the perpetrators of the fraud selected the foreign Bourses as the places where they should give circu lation to their forgeries. The notes already dis covered have come from Belgium and Antwerp ; and it is said that a real note, bearing the same date and letters as the forgeries, and now in the possession of the Bank of England, can be proved to have travelled to Paris. The supposition is, that this note, which ' was paid into the Bank of England as far back as last June, is the original, according to which the for geries were made as copies. Therefore, it is far from improbable that the paper was made, and the plate engraved, at Paris The whole amount of the notes already discovered is less than 1,0001., but there is no reason to believe that this is the whole extent of the fraud. If the forgeries were copied from the note now in the Bank of England, there has been sufficient time to issue a great number of them, and it is hardly to be expected that so much pains would have been taken for the sake of a limited amount. The foreign Bourses are notorious for the facility with which stolen Bank of England notes are circulated, and considering the absence of immediate check, it is obvious that the facilities for circulating forged notes may be equally great. Every caution, therefore, should be used by merchants and all whose business requires them to receive remittances from the continent, for it is evi dent that a party has been at work whose acts it requires the greatest vigilance and acuteness to de tect. — Timer. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 23.—Prior to the departure . of her Majesty from Osborne House on Monday, we are informed she signified her intention, should the present favourable weather continue, of returning on the 29fh inst., with the royal infants, to remain ten days.

Bowles, C. 13., Commander-in-Chief of the squadron ; and Queen, 110, Captain Martin, got under way this morning at six o'clock, and left Spithead with a N.N.E. wind. The Queen was the first under way. The Feather was very thick and foggy, so dense that the s plendid sight of the three ships under way was invisible fiora the shore. After the line-of-battle ships had sailed some hours, at about half-past ten, dispatches were re ceived from the Admiralty, containing orders for the Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral W. Bowles, conse quently the Comet steamer-sloop, Lieut.-Commander Pretyman, was put in requisition, and started after the squadron, full steam, with the said dispatches. The flag of Admiral Sir C. Rowley (white at the main) was struck last evening at sunset, on board.the St. Vin cent, and rehoisted on board the -Excellent gunnery ,ship, Captain Sir T. Hastings.

Wooldridge, agent, which arrived on Friday from the West Indies, having on board returned naval stores and military inva lids, has gone round to Chatham to disembark them. The Swiftsure hulk, 74, is still in the mud up the harbour. Captain Sir T.

And such, we repeat, was the case with the Conservatives of Durham. They were active--energetic—decided of will and perfect in organization, so long as they felt that they had grounds of confidence ; but the moment they found the Ministry of their choice—the Ministry which they had taken such prodigious pains to instal in office—the moment, we say, they found these Downing-street squatters—to borrow a phrase from the back woods vocabulary—evinced symptoms of a disposition to falsify their Conservative pledges, their spirits became depressed, sullen ness and despondency seized upon them ; and as an immediate and inevitable consequence, they sank, as a party, into almost complete insignificence. They are now trying to pluck up a little courage and confidence again, but we doubt much whether they , will succeed in regaining a tithe of their lost in fluence in the county. Events are against them. Ministers cannot, even if they would, enforce their principles to the extent they could desire ; they must, in spite of themselves, lean to the side of Liberalism ; and assuredly a conviction of this truth will not tend to infuse new spirit into Durham Conservatism. We are by no means sorry to see the low ebb to which this party is confessedly reduced in one of the most important of our northern counties. It is a shuffling, time-serving party, liberal, so far as mere profession goes, mean and intolerant to a degree in point of practice, repudiating ultra-Toryism, yet never unwilling to act in its spirit whenever oppor tunity offers, and prevented by nothing but its apprehensions—which it calls discretion—from in flicting a world of mischief on the community. It is vain to look to Conservatism for any positive, sub stantial, public good ; and it is only where he dissents 1 from the policy of this party and makes a move to wards Liberalism, that Sir R. PEEL exhibits himself as a sagacious, prescient statesman. all their ministrations, and that they will sacrifice the end to the means if they needlessly offend their congre gations in such matters. I will not say that the interests of religion would not be advanced if our ritual were brought back to what it formerly was. On the con trary, I believe the reverse would be the fact ; but I certainly am convinced that a minister takes a wrong and entirely inadequate view of his duty if, by adhering too strictly to the rubrical directions of the Book of Common Prayer, he alienates the affection of his con gregation. Let him fully and clearly explain its nature and uses, and so he will win their minds towards him." Madrid papers of the 17th have been received Some of them give details of the appointments of President of the Deputies, formation of Committees, and other business, which to England, or indeed any other nation, do not possess any interest. In an as sembly so constituted, so determined to go all lengths with the Government, it is a matter of moonshine whether Senor ISTURIZ or Senor CASTRO Y Oaozco be President. The• Eco del Comercio states that re ports were current that a Carlist revolution was on the point of breaking out at Madrid, and that in several of the provinces the Government seemed to be taking precautions against a general rising. Pro gresistas seem also disposed to have some amusement in their peculiar way. What a hopeless country ! Upon the Madrid 'Change on the 17th inst. the Three per Cents. were done at 26 9-16 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 20i for the same period. A very brief interval has elapsed since we directed the attention of our readers to one of those unseemly controversies between an orthodox congregation with their Puseyite-parson, that the gentle Lord Bishop of LONDON never interposes in, without furnishing us — his constant admirers—with new occasions for mar velling at his meekness, and for commending his ur banity. In the last communication addressed by that lowly-minded Bishop to the Churchwardens of Ware, some may fancy, indeed, that they detect the heredi tary style of schooling which a pedagogue may be supposed to have transmitted to a Prelate. But with out entering into that question, we would willingly, if we could, exonerate the Right Reverend Father from a more grave and unbecoming imputation. It is said—and we believe it—that his Lordship is a favourer of the Tractarian doctrines. We do not mean to say that he upholds the atrocious trumpery which some of the Nawster4-iac divines have lately been re-pub lishing, with the most fulsome of editorial commen dations from " Golden Legends," and "Lives of the Saints." We do not suppose, for a moment, that the sleek diocesan, who moves between• the Palace at Fulham and the Palace at St. James's—between St. James's-square and the House of Lords—with all the precise getting up of an elaborate Abbe, a century ago, in the salons of. Versailles, or the Luxembourg, has any community of taste with the PALMERS and the PUSEYS, the WARDS and the NEWMANS, who seem to insist that their " English Saints," or their German Monks of the twelfth century, must have died in the odour of sanctity in proportion as their persons were disgustingly filthy, and their fusty habits never changed ! But, as we have before remarked, our Right Reverend CHARLES JAMES is,- in such controversies, ever an interested par tisan who has a decided leaning to the universal Tractarian doctrine of enlarging the temporal, and multiplying the spiritual, powers of Church men—(ranking above curates)—as well as of the Church. He can away with the mummeries, NOT — provided they tend, in the words of their rhapsodical advocate (the Rev. W. G. WARD), "to that sus tained and, vigorous attack on the principles of the Reformation" (which he, a minister of the Anglican Reformed and Established Church, advocates I !); but, provided they tend, as the same Mas ter. of Arts elsewhere writes .(in his "Ideal of a Christian Church ")---" to the religious carrying out of those great principles which the Reformation denied—obedience and faith." Who can doubt what the Bishop of LONDON'S notions of " obedience" are, when he moves the clergy of his diocese to stir up their flocks three or four times in a year to subscribe towards building new churches (of which his Lord ship " rather " means to pocket the patronage) ? Who can doubt what the Bishop's version of " faith" is, when he would persuade all the congregations within his extensive diocese, and even his quondam friends of Bishopsgate Without, that the effectual way to feed the hungry, intense, starving wretchedness of the pauperised districts of Spitalfields; is—to subscribe funds for purchasing and dispensing bread ?—soup ? —clothing ?—lodging ? No ! but—to build new churches for them. The French Opposition papers have, for one day at least, passed over the KING'S visit to England—a great relief to those readers who are compelled to attend to their lucubrations—and directed their atten tion to affairs of another neighbouring country, where scenes of no ordinary kind are about to take place. The Opposition journals of all shades, Re - publican, Legitimatist, and Christino, have articles on the Bill presented to the Cortes for Constitutional reform. The Presse, under the influence of Queen CHRISTI/CA, has, of course, been made acquainted for some time with the proposed changes, and the National, by some means or other, seems equally well informed. We infer from this journal that the DOWAGER QUEEN has done it all. After referring to the Bill: it thus proceeds :—" In two words the programme of the Bill proclaims for the executive power an absolute omnipotence ; it asks an assembly of the Cortes, the produce of corruption and violence, to absolve the acts of usurpation already executed in the past, by permitting them to be continued for the future; to substitute for public discussion the will of the Cabinet, for the solemnity of the law the caprice of the camarilla, for the action of the three powers the will of a single one. This is the radical destruc tion of the representative Government, and a delibe rative assembly is going to decree absolutism. And what absolutism ? That of NARVAEZ, perhaps. Not even that ; NARVAEZ is an instrument to be broken on the first caprice. Not of the young QUEEN ? She is a sick child, incapable of anything but evil sentiments • It is the absolutism of the wife of MuNoz that is about We shall not renew here the censure we have so lately ventured to pass upon a course of Episcopal policy that, we repeat, is daily making an enormous sacrifice of high and substantial interest—moral, social, and religious—for vain forms and empty cere monies. Nor is it necessary to enlarge on the gravity of the offence which a Bishop commits, by upholding it when its results—not as they are to be inferred from theoretical reasoning merely, but as they are practically developed by every day's experience— clearly hre the sowing of disunion and heartburnings between pastors and their flocks ; and the en couragement, nay, the artificial-forcing, as it were, of present dissent from the ritual, and final estrangement from the communion and doctrine of the Established Church. We have asked whether the Bishop is prepared to countenance the extension of Puseyism at the price of the decline of Protestantism ? And the ultra reverence for, and observance of, obso lete directions and formularies—still, indeed, retained in the Rubric, but distinctly as offensive to the opinions and feelings of the Church at large, as they have been foreign to her ritual, rites, and ceremonial for the last century and a half—this overweening passion for reviving " things indifferent," simply be cause some fanciful preference for the mere pantomime of a more ancient ritual, we have taken the liberty to treat as an " idle fooling." We are rejoiced to be so soon in possession of high Episcopal authority for these views. It is gratifying to us to have one of the ablest servants and champions of the Church corro borating and strengthening our own unprofessional impressions on such matters. The late distinguished Principal of Brazenose, one of the lights of Oxford, and now Bishop Of CHICHESTER, at his Lordship's primary visitation of his diocese in the cathedral church of that city on Tuesday last, delivered a charge, very remarkable in many particulars—excel lent in all—and in none more distinct or more sensi ble than in that portion which he devoted to the repro bation of this Puseyite tampering with the venerable structure of that Church, which it would unhesitat ingly demolish for the sake of planting upon its ruins a few exploded genuflections, and relighting at the altar table a few extinguished wax candles; putting on a white gown at one portion of the service, or taking off a black one at another—with other such worthless trifles. The Bishop of CHICHESTER, we observe, addresses his clergy in a tone of brotherly kindness and personal humility, worthy of a pri mitive Churchman, and very little, if at all, marred by that unconscious egotism which in some other Bishops (nearer "London") is so exceedingly offensive. He inculcates with eloquence and ear nestness the duty of consultingand relieving the wants, physical as well as moral, of the poor. To this sub ject he returns more than once, with increasing force and emphasis. He warmly enjoins on his hearers the truly Christian, as well as clerical, duty of aiding, with sincerity and energy., the diffusion of education among the lower classes of society; and he concludes his animadversions upon the progress of Puseyism in terms to which it would be as vain as presumptious in us to attempt to add one word : " Judging from a review of their progress, as given by one supposed to be of their number (the_ev. W. Palmer), one must arr ive at the conclusion that R those so long unfittedunable to guideto form theirers in n w t n h e cotirs e formationm us t o f be th e e s i p r e especi all y theo logical opinions. With resp ect to some usages wh i ch others are supposed to take their origin from this school, it is much to be desired that more cor rect notions should prevail, more especially amongst the laity. Whatever may have been the object or intention of those writers of whom we speak in reviving attention to those matters, the advocates of rubrical observances are more frequently found in the persons of those who have no sympathy with their doctrines or peculiarities. The laity should be made aware of this fact. At the maple time, I must caution the clergy always to bear in mind that the ed ification of God's people is the object of to be decreed ! Of that MARIA CHRISTINA,who, after having received in her bed the son of the tobacconist of Tarancon, gave birth to the first-born of her new wricog, whip;she ,was ,stial sireariag, =limb* for her husband ! The absolutism of this woman, who has violated all the Spanish laws, in exercising the Re gency and guardianship of her daughter, when she was already married to the Garde-du-Corps ! Of that woman who, notwithstanding the formal text of the Constitution, and all the existing legislation, levied, without having the right, in other words, robbed the treasury of Spain of thirty millions of francs, as the unmarried widow of the late KING, and forty millions taken from the revenues of the Royal appanage and civil list of the QUEEN ! Absolutism with the greatest scandal, the most infamous robbery that can be pointed out in history. But is the abso- lute power to rest, at least in these sullied hands Who is there who does not know that the wife of Munoz, ambitious as she is considered, only executes the solemn engagements which she has entered into with the POPE and Don CARLOS ? And see the re- forms proposed in the Constitution ! To suppress first, the principle of the supremacy of the people, to efface the article ordering the annual convocation of the Cortes, and, in fine, to get rid of that which im poses the obligation of consulting the Cortes on the QUEEN'S marriage! The undertaking is bold, but it will not succeed. The Spaniards are neither suffi ciently void of civilisation, nor base enough to allow this interference in their own affairs; and all these con quests, in fact, which they have aimed at in obtain ing since 1812, to be torn from them with impunity." The following are the remarks of the Freese:— "This dispatch only confirms the news given in all the Spanish journals that arrived yesterday at Paris. It was known beforehand almost officially that when the Congress was constituted, the President of the Council was to ascend the tribune and read the reform project. We have said that this project would have a double character, political and administrative, and we have shown the principal points to which it was to refer. It remains for us to explain some questions of detail, which, though less spoken of, are not less important, and which prove that it is unjustly that some friends of the Ministry have accused it of re maining inactive. The Cabinet, presided over by General NARVAEZ, has advanced slowly, but it has advanced. Whilst around it friends and adversaries were loudly discussing, it was working in silence, and Spain is about to have the power of judging, which is worth more--that which speaks or that whic h acts." The Legitimatist Quotidienne which is equally dis satisfied with the National, but takes consolation from the prospects of another Carlist rising, says : " Our letters from Spain announce that this country is touching on a new crisis, and probably a graver one than any of those which she has passed through these dozen years. The party placed at the head of affairs by extraordinary circumstances has just obtained a majority, either by the electoral inactivity of the opposite parties, or by the violence and cunning employed against them. But this party, which is without root in the country, only maintains itself by the army, which is not itself proof against a sudden rising on any point of the terri tory ; a serious insurrection would shake its discipline, and would have the effect at least of dividing its forces. The Progessist or revolutionary party, under the diree tion of secret societies, is organised along the whole coast from Cadiz to Barcelona ; the insurrectional move ments of these two towns would draw with it all the in termediate localities. This party possesses some com mittees, but very few followers in the interior. If the Carlist party, on the contrary, has but scattered friends and little means of action on the coast, it has masses in its favour in the mountains of Arragon, Navarre, and Biscay, and very numerous partisans in the provinces of the interior. These two parties have replaced in the last two years a great part of the arms and ammunition which had been taken from them ; they are in a state to act, and determined to act in concert, although for a dif ferent object, well convinced that an isolated action would be fatal to the party which should attempt it, and would compromise that which should have abstained. The Royalists were ready to rise some months back in the mountains of Catalonia, and the Revolutionists only waited for the signal to take up arms at the same time in Barcelona ; a counter-order given to the mountaineers suspended the common action ; but it is only suspended, the Government knows it, and henceforward it despairs of opposing the Revolutionists to the Carlists, and of keeping down these parties by opposing them to each other." The following are said to be the principal changes proposed by the NARVAEZ, or rather CHRISTINA Ministry :—The preamble of the Constitution is to be cancelled, as no mention is made in it of the royal power. The crown is to appoint the members of the Senate for life, as in France. The most important clause, however, is that which enacts that the offences committed by the press shall not be submitted to trial by jury. The article which requires the assem bling the Cortes once a year is suppressed, evidently with a view of suppressing the Cortes altogether. The clause respecting the QUEEN'S marriage is annulled, and the Cortes are therefore deprived of the another consider power granted to them by the Co nstitution of pre venting dangerous ato they By the might QUERN can leave Spain without the consent of the Cortes. This is a good beginning, and when the other changes are accomplished, and organic laws made by royal ordinance, France will have no reason for envying Spain her liberal institutions. The most painful reflection on this re trograde movement is, that the inhabitants of Spain richly merit their fate. They had the means, as far as free institutions went, of making their country great and peaceful, but their statesmen were eternally quarrelling with one another, their representatives made long harangues only from factious or mer cenary motives ; they, in fine,,, rebelled against ESPARTERO, and welcomed with enthusiasm the woman who has destroyed their liberty. There is no domestic news in the French papers of the slightest interest. THE BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, OCT. 23. First Highest Lowest • Last Price. Price. Price. Price. French,Five per Onts .. 118 25 .. 118 30 .. 118 20 .. 118 25 A meeting of the Conservatives of the county of ,Durham was held on Wednesday last at Sunderland. .A morning Contemporary, who gives a somewhat lengthy account of this meeting, prefaces his report by a sketch of the past and present condition of Con servatism in Durham, from which we gather that it ,has long been in the most helpless and hopeless 'state it is possible to conceive, devoid of energy— 'devoid of tact—devoid of union—devoid, in short, of every qualification that is requisite to make a party ,respectable or influential. For some years, during the sway of the Whig Administration, it was in a tolerable , state of efficiency; it attended to the register, and main ;tained a spirit of concord and unity that augured well , for the cause which it professed to have so much at heart; !but soon after the accession of the present Ministers to office, it began to exhibit symptoms of apathy ; instead of being watchful over the interests of—what 1 it called —the constitutional cause, it became almost in different to its duties; for a considerable period, not a single anniversary meeting was held ; and the absence of such periodical gatherings had the effect of in creasing the supineness which want of action was ,naturally engendering in the party. In fact, observes our Contemporary, it was scarcely known whether a Conservative association existed or not in the county of Durham, and questions were even asked as to who were, and who were not, members of the society. The cause of this gradual decline in the power and activity of a once influential party admits, we think, of a very easy explanation. It originated, no doubt, in the dislike with which the Durham Conservatives regarded the proceedings of S i r ROBERT PEEL and his subalterns, shortly after their accession to place. They must have seen that the Ministry was by no means constant in its adhesion to the principles which it had professed on the hustings, but was ready to tack about and make sail in a Whig direction, the instant opportunity offered. Nothing short of some such conviction on the part of the Northern Conserva tives could have induced them to abandon themselves to apathy. Our Contemporary, indeed, hints that this torpor arose from the simple circumstance of the party reposing confidence in the future from the success of the past ; but this is a very indifferent way of accounting for an awkward fact ; it is not when a party is full of confidence that it is most apt to be lethargic ; success but tends to stimulate it to fur ther exertions ; it is when distrust and despondency seize 11 1.c.i‘ Peait4tal societies, that the principle of vitality within them becut,w3 and deteriorated; it i s then that of disunion and lassitud e whichat liLeaylluyel xt m ore ihmtite l symp toms feeblete r: L.

There was a brisk demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, but no alteration in prices. Sales about 7,000 bales, including 2,000 bales American, on specula tion, and 500 for export.

An official notification has been issued this morning and extensively circulated, relative to the regulations to be observed by the police, and other City officers, on the day on which the Queen opens the New Royal Ex change, which has created great conversation, and in deed surprise, among merchants and others having business houses in the line of procession, or offices in the City within the prescribed limits. Surely it cannot for a moment be contemplated stringently to carry the third regulation into effect. It is—" That no person be allowed to pass or remain in the Poultry, Mansion house-street, Cornhill, Bartholomew-lane, or Thread needle-street, after seven o'clock, except inhabitants and others going to the houses in those streets, who will be permitted to pass for that purpose until nine o'clock, after which time no person whatever will be admitted into those streets." Now it is known that there are public places of resort for business purposes within the streets named, and offices almost innumerable. Can it be seriously intended that merchants and brokers are to be deprived of the right they have to go to business, to open and answer letters (of vast importance to them in many instances, and re quiring instant attention)? And let it be remembered that the General Post delivery is rarely commenced in the districts named before nine o'clock, or finished before half-past ten or eleven o'clock. It would be, in the opi nion of the merchants and others, a monstrous proceed ing to attempt to carry out the regulation we have quoted above. It is hoped that some means will be taken to enable merchants and others in the streets mentioned to reach their places of business without let or hindrance. There are not any colonial arrivals this morning. Much conversation is indulged in in the City on the subject of the rapid extension of the influence of the Zollverein. At the same time it is not to be denied that the movements towards liberalism in commercial affairs, on the continent too, may have a beneficial influence shortly as respects the scales oft duties now levied in the ports of this country. There must be an onward move ment in this respect, and the sooner the Premier makes up his mind upon the all-important subject the better for the merchants, the shipowners, and the traders of Great Britain. The time, it is held certain, is now come, when England must move in advance, not follow, combi nations of Governments' or Customs' Leagues, on the continent of Europe. The opportunity, if now lost, will not very soon again occur. The only feature in the Stock Market this morning is that the Commissioners bought about the usual quantity of Consols at 99i. Money is in increased demand, and swine transfers have been made at a fall to 994. For the Account par has been the only value given this morn ing. The premium on Exchequer Bills is firm at 71s. to 735. Bank Stock has fallen to 2021, a re-action of about 3 per cent. within a week. The fluctuation in the New Three-and-a-Quarter per cents. is very trifling, scarcely exceeding * to 1 per cent. The value of Spanish Stock remains nominally the same as yesterday. Dutch Securities are a trifle lower, and Belgian Five per Cents. were firm ,in the morning at 104 k, but they have since receded to 1031. For Mexicon and Portuguese Bonds the demand was limited to one or two bargains only. The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Shares have been flat to-day, at Ito 24 premium. Edinburgh and Glasgow are lower, 10 premium being now the price. The Great Western Shares have been sold as low as 59 prem.; the London and Birmingham have been at 1111 to 113 prem. ; Midlands at a fall to 3 premium ; York and North Midland are firm at 58 premium, and the Half Shares at 58 premium.

In this case the insolvent, an attorney, and sometimes an attorney's clerk, applied for his final order. Mr. STURGEON opposed for creditors to large amounts. In the insolvent's former account he had put down a per son named Harvey as a debtor in 600/., but in his amended schedule he had brought him in a creditor to the amount of 200/., thus making a clear difference of 800/. The creditors prayed time to investigate the matter. ----,.... Sir C. Wriaxots would give any time the creditors might require. Such a system was truly disgraceful. He found the debts stated at 6,0001., and he supposed the assets, 1,250 L, would not produce so many shillings. The Solicitor to an opposing creditor said the debts are placed in the amended schedule at 13,0001. Sir C. WILLIAMS, after again, in the most strong lan guage, characterising the system adopted in this case as a vile one, deferred the further hearing of the case for a month, in order to give the creditors full time for inves tigation. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY, Mr. Commissioner HARRIS sat this morning for the purpose of hearing applications for bail. Although the usual hour for the sitting of the Court is ten o'clock, the Learned Commissioner did not take his seat on the Bench until nearly half- past eleven, to the annoyance of those in attendance upon business. IN RE GEORGE WINTER. In this case the insolvent applied on his petition to be discharged upon bail until the day appointed for his final hearing. It appeared from his schedule that the amount of debts exceeded 2,5001., for 8001. of which it was stated that he received no consideration, while the sum for which he was arrested was only 401. upon an accommo dation bill drawn by a person named Boland, and ac ceepted by the insolvent. A great many other bills had been accepted by him in the way of accommodation, for which he never got any consideration. The Learned COMMISSIONER commented strongly upon the insolvent's conduct in accepting accommodation bills when he was so deeply indebted to others. Such a course could be only described as cheating his creditors. He should not accept bail in this case. The insolvent was accordingly taken back to the Queen's prison. In the matter of Richard Roberts, the application of the insolvent, who was confined in Dolgelly gaol, to be liberated upoa hail, was rejected upon. the, ground of in sufficiency in the proffered sureties: The application of John Whatford, an insolvent con fined in Northampton gaol, was rejected upon similar grounds. IN RE THONAS HOWILLS. This insolvent had been before the Court on a former occasion, when the hearing was adjourned, in order that he might file a fresh schedule, and account for a large sum of money which was left him as a legacy. In the schedule which he now produced in Court he accounted for the disposition of this money, by stating that he spent it in " folly, extravagance, and dissipa tion," and being continually drunk , he lodged it in his brother's hands, and used to draw it from him in 51. and 101. at a time ; but he did not recollect how he spent it. He was remanded for four calendar months from the date of his vesting order. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. NEW COURT. • (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Jane Hague, aged 44, was placed at the bar, charged with feloniously wounding Ellen Bryant, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutrix and another woman, named Mann, were very hotly en gaged in trying who had the hardest fists and the softest head, and the prisoner, who, it appeared, had been en gaged in the no less unfeminine occupation of killing time in the gin. shop all day, came up to where Mrs. Bryant and Mrs. Mann were having their " set-to." Although sha was very drunk," her sense of delicacy was so acute, that she " was shocked," to use her own phraseology, " at seeing two women like them fighting with each other." Accordingly, in order that the affair might be brought to a satisfactory termination, and to establish the " cordial understanding," she struck Mrs. Bryant with a bed-key, which she happened to have in her hand, over the left eye. It is true that Mrs. Hague gave a different version of the matter, and represented that Mrs. Bryant was scratched in consequence of strik ing her own head against the key. Under the direction of his LORDSHIP, the jury were of opinion that it was not probable the prosecutrix, be sides being engaged with Mrs. Mann, who, it would ap pear, was " man enough" for her, would seek an addi tional adversary in " cold iron," found her guilty of the assault, without intent. His LORDSHIP sentenced the prisoner to three weeks' imprisonment, she having been already confined seven weeks. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Samuel Brown was brought up, charged with attempt ing to pass a bad half-crown, under the following cir cumstances :—Mr. Henry Curtis stated that the pri soner, with two others, came into the tap-room of his house, the Royal Oak, last night. He called for a pot of beer, and when the waiter took it in he saw a half-crown lying on the table. The prisoner pointed to it, and said " Take it out of that." The waiter brought the half crown out, and it was found to be a bad one. The prisoner said be did not put down the half-crown, it was another young man. Mr. JARDINE said that under the circumstances he was fearful no case could be made out against the prisoner. Mr. Curtis said he asked the prisoner three distinct times to point out the young man that had put down the half-crown, but he refused to do so. Mr. JARDINE said this altered the case. The prisoner had been very artful in his attempt, but he (Mr. Jar dine) should remand him to Monday, for the solicitor to the Mint to attend.—(This is a new " dodge" on the part of " smashers.") CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY). A little girl aged about thirteen, named Anne Carruthers, was charged with robbing her mother. The mother who cried bitterly whilst giving her evi dence, deposed that during the last two years the pri soner was in the constant habit of stealing everything within her reach. She earned a very small pittiance by brace-making, and the prisoner bad gone to her em ployer, Mr. Arrowsmith, of Gutter-lane, Cheapside, last week and , taken away her week's earnings, every farthing of which she spent before she returned. Mr. GREENWOOD asked the mother if she wished to send her for trial? The Mother—Oh, pray, Sir, don't send her for trial, don't send her to prison, but myself and my family would feel for ever grateful to you if you could get her into an asylum. Mr. Baylis, the second usher, said he had already taken the child to the Refuge for the Destitute in the Hackney-road, but they refused to receive her because her right hand was crippled. The Magistrate, however, interested himself in the matter, and got the child into the House of Refuge in Red Lion-square.

Since Monday a full average quantity of English W4at has been received up to our market ; hence the stands were well-filled with samples. In the demand we cl notice no alteration from Monday. The supply ° Foreign Wheat was not large, yet the inquiry for that article was inactive, at previous figures. Of Eng lish Barley, very little was offering ; but, 14,000 quarters of Foreign having arrived, caused the Barley trade to rule dull, at barely late rates. The best Malt was q uite as dear, but in other kinds very little was doing. Oa ts ' Beans, and Peas supported the prices of Monday. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats.

There were on sale 100 Beasts and 124 Sheep from Rotterdam, in fair condi' tion ; while from Scotland 110 Scots came fresh to hand' The numbers of Sheep were limited, yet -the Mutton trade, owing to the unfavourable weather, was in sluggish state, at about Monday's quotations. The Sur ply of Calves was good ; while the sale for that descriP; tion of stock was very dull, and prices had a downwar' tendency. In Pigs very little was doing.

Ot With the system of publicity which results froth institutions and our manners, a speech from the th r oe can very rarely have any new facts to declare to country. What is particularly desired in such ° let " ments is precision and frankness, in short, a COra statement.
