Indigo—lmmediately after the departure of the mail per Hin dostasi, the demand for all sorts became less active, and at the public sales, the biddings being languid, and many parties unwil ling to submit to lower prices, several marks were withdrawn or bought in. During the past week, however, holders have again manifested an intention of realising, and, with very few exceptions, every parcel found purchasers at a somewhat lower figure, particu larly for inferior qualities. We are now anxiously looking for further accounts, and hope the Bentinck (now hourly expected) will bring fresh purchasers into the market to support the prices which have been established. The shipments on French account already amount to 25,308 fy. mds. and about 1,000 chests are in course of shipment, making a total of 26,803 fy. mds., so that we may consider the purchases for that country to be nearly completed, as (considering the pre. sent state of things) we do not suppose they will take off more than last year. The Americans have acted with great caution, and we do not think their purchases up to this time exceed 1,000 chests. The Moguls have also bought very sparingly, for, as we before stated, their last year's exports will suffice for two years' consumption, and we think in putting them down for 1,000 chests we give the full extent of their purchases this season; so that there remains for shipment to Great Britain only 28,000 ches!s, of which 14,540 have already gone forward Out of the 17,000 chests which have been offered by Chests, public auction, about 2,500 have been bought in, leaving sold to which we have to add the sales by private contract And the quantity shipped, or to be shipped, on account of proprietors in England, say Total Leaving still to be disposed of 14,500 8,500 4,000 27,000 13,000 Taking the out-turn of the session at or 140,000 rods., although, as we must confess that in many in. stances the invoices from the upper provinces have proved shorter than we anticipated, we think it very probable that the figure we gave in our October and November circulars will prove consider. ably over the mark. Sugar—The slight improvement in demand noticed in our last has continued, and a large amount of business has been done in qualities suitable for the home markets, but at, in some instances, a slight decline on former rates. Fine white Benares still con tinues scarce, and any pastels that arrive are held at a very high figure. Low Khaurs and Ghoor have been inquired for for local manufacture. Exports from the Ist to the 17th inst. amount to 57,148 maunds. Saltpetre—Holders of this staple having evinced a disposition to meet the views of shippers by submitting to a slight decline, trans.. actions have been rather on the increase for both the English and American markets. For France there has also been a moderate business doing. Rum—This article is now seldom offered for sale here, except In small quantities for local purposes- Shipments from the Ist inst. up to date amount to 54,000 gallons. Raw Silk—As anticipated in our last, the holders of Hurrypaul and Radnagore of the rainy bund have been obliged to submit to lower rates, and some transactions have taken place in those sorts at a reduction of about four annas per seer. The November bund of Cossimbazar and Junghypore is now arriving freely, and appears to be of very superior quality ; transactions, however, have as yet b en limited, owing to the high prices demanded, and all parties appear disposed to wait further advices from England. Exports from the Ist inst up to date amount to 881 mds. Silk Piece Goods—The active demand which has been expe. rienced for corahs for several months past, has not in the slightest degree fallen off, and all descriptions, but more especially Cossim. bazar, readily find purchasers at former rates. Choppas and ban.. dannas are also more inquired for. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date are as follows :—viz., to Great Britain, 36,941 pcs. corahs, and 4,183 pcs. choppas and bandannas. Opium—Prices have not materially altered since the Govern ment sale, particulars of which we gave in our last ; out of the 5,500 chests sold, there only remain 2,550 to be shipped. Cotton—We have not a single transaction or shipment to notice since our last. . . .... Rice —Notwithstanding the continued very high rate of freight, we have no falling off to notice in shipments of this article, but prices having slightly declined, shippers are enabled to lay it down in England at about former rates. For the Mauritius a moderate amount of business continues to be done, but shipments can only be made at further advanced rates of freight. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date to Great Britain, 62,437 maunds, and to Mauritius, 33,768 maunds. Oil Seeds—Linseed continues in request for America at rather higher prices, but present rates of freight have stopped transactions for Great Britain. IMPORTANT NEW WORK ON SPAIN. Now ready in 2 vols , small Bvo., 2ls. bound, REVELATIONS OF SPAIN, In 1845. BY AN ENGLISH RESIDENT. Henry Colburu, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. To be hal of all Booksellers. EXCHANGE. Bills with documents having been more plentiful of late, we have to notice a rise in rates, but as most of the agency houses who are in the habit of drawing show a determination to resist, we see no reason to expect that any further advance will take place. Our present quotations are—for English 10 months' date bills, Is. 19#d. to ls. I Id. per rupee; and for French bills payable in England, Is. I Id. to Is. I id. Some of the latter payable in France have also been negotiated at from 2f. 471 c. to 2f. 50c. MONEY MMIKST. Our quotations for all descriptions of Bank Stock and Govern ment securities are nearly the same as those given last month, since which, however, we have to notice the dividend declared by the Union Bank, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The high rates which have been ruling for some time past, and even now (in the face of the large amount of capital required for the speculations in opium and indigo) show no symptoms of declining, which sufficiently manifests the state of our money market.

The intelligence by the Ardasseer comes down to the I Bth of December. We subjoin an ext-act from a trade circular, dated Canton, December 14, and another from a private letter, dated Hong. Kong, November 28, which give all the news of commercial interest _ _ " CANTON, DEC. 14, 1844.—Since ours of the 13th ult., our market has remained very dull and inactive—a greater or more general depression has rarely been felt here. The very low rates of imports have prevented importers pressing sales, and the high prices demanded for teas, have, in some degree, limited operations therein. Imports—Of raw cotton sales have been few, although the deliveries have been very large, and the stock of Bombay greatly diminished. Shirtings—Greys are taken off freely, but whites remain on hand, with large increasing stocks. Metal and tin plates are disposable, holders are growing mere firm, but stocks are too large to admit of early improvement. Opium—ln Patna there has been considerable fluctuation, with a final improvement. The present demand is steady for consumption, without specula tion. Woollens of every description partake largely of the ge ❑eral depression, and transactions have been very limited; but as stocks are not heavy (excepting camlets) some improvement at this season may be looked for in exports. Silk continues to be shipped freely at Shanghae ; here nothing is doing. Our season's total export will reach or exceed 1,000 bales. Tea export has been large, being to date in 41 vessels, Parnpero,' included, Black, 16,337,1461b5.; Green, 3,424,5251b5. ; Total, 19,761,6711b5." COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF EXPORTS. 1844-s.—Nov. 30, 88 ships ; Black, 14,916,7001b3. ; Green, 3,372,4691b5. ; Total, 111,289,169 1 b5. 11143-4.—Nov. 30, 29 ships; Black, 13,025,7691b5.; Green, 2,045.9061b5. ; Total, 1.5,071,6751b5. Excess of 1844-s.—Black, 1,890.9311b5.; Green, 1,326,5631b5.; Total, 3,217,4941b5. The crop of new Green Teas promises to be ample for all de. mands, nor does there appear any sufficient reason for the ex travagantly high prices hitherto demanded and paid for them. Exchange on London remains at 4s. 6d. per Sp. doll., but opera tions have not been extensive. Tonnage—The supply is ample and without indication of change on present rates-31. 10s. to 3/. 15s. " The Canton Market has been for a long time in a ruinous state, and sales during the past six months have been leaving from 23 to 30 per cent. loss, and I really see no prospect at present of its improving, so long as shipments continue to be poured in from India to so large an extent ; nor until the present heavy stocks in first and second hands are much reduced. I would, therefore, strongly advise you to have nothing to do with shipments of cotton to this place, unless you can purchase at much lower rates than have been current so long at Bombay. I should say, unless you can purchase the best Bombay cotton—Surat or Broach—at 70 rs. per candy, it would be an exceedingly dangerous speculation ; but the most suitable qualities of cotton for this market are Dhollera and Compta ; Surat and Broach do not fetch a proportionate high price to what you pay for it in Bombay, and should you ship to this, pay great attention to the colour ; see that it be white and perfectly free from seeds. Seedy Cotton is saleable only at a great reduction in price. This is the case, even though the staple and colour is good. So avoid shipping seedy cotton of all things. Compta, if of a good clear white colour, will sometimes fetch as high a price as Dhollera; but it is seldom to be had in Bombay so white, and of the two probably Dhollera is the safest to ship, if to be had nearly as low as Compta. What the Chinese buyers like in Cotton is freedom from seeds, purity of colour, and that flaky appearance and firmness. The prices of to-day are as follow : Bombay 5 Taels at 73 per picul. Madras Bengal .• 6 do. to 8 per ditto. But the highest rate quoted for Bombay is only to be obtained for some small lots of very fine Cotton. The deliveries of Bombay qualities have been of late more extensive, but the stock still re mains about 122,000 bales, " I am sorry to think that the Bombay opium trade will be a long time recovering itself here—almost all the Malwa that has come in during the past year having been spurious, and many parties must have lost heavily. Only think of it being sold at Whampoa at prices ranging from 500 to 200 dollars per chest. Buyers have little confidence now in Malwa opium ; they invari. ably demand a reduction on its being delivered. Patna has fallen suddenly to 660 to 665, and Benares 615 to 620 per chest. This is a very disagreeable place to live in compared to Bombay, and is very sickly. The Hong-Kong fever appears to be incurable. The weather at present is fine, but very cold."

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Thia morning, about nine o'clock, an acc ident, by which one man unfortunately lolerti, life, occurred in the river nearl y opposite Deptford, under the follow ingh circumstances :—A sailing barge was coming up the river, with rather a fresh breeze, whilst a coal barge, manned by the deceased and another labourer, was drifting down with the tide, both men guiding her course by means of oars ; when, through som e cause both the vessels came into violent collision, and the deceased, who stood upon the gunwale, was pitched overboard by the con cussion, and although every exertion was made to save him when under he rose to the surface, he was carried by the strength of the tide the sailing-barge, and was never afterwards seen. Several boats im mediately put off from the shore to search for the body, but all their exertions for its recovery were !mitten, as the tide was running strong at the time, and mut have quickly carried him away from the not where he auk.

THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN." We have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer.

The House of Lords did not sit. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. he confessed that he saw but little chance of its removal. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the financial measures of the Governirent. Mr. EWART opposed the amendment, on the ground that it was wiser to have recourse to direct than to indirect taxation. Mr. D. BARCLAY approved of the property-tax, but hoped that the increasing prosperity of the country would enable them to do without it in a few years. Mr. HAWES considered the continuance of the in come-tax as a great obstacle to commercial reform, and should, therefore, vote against it. On a division, the amendment was negatived by a majority of 73, the numbers being—for the amend ment, 23 ; against it, 96. The House then resolved itself into Committee. On the first clause being put, Mr. CURTEIS moved an amendment, the effect of which would have been to limit the duration of the tax to two years instead of three. The amendment was pressed to a division, when there appeared for the amendment, 17; against it, 69; majority against it, 52. A long conversation followed, during the course of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed his determination to support the amendments of which Mr. SPOONER had given notice, on a former day—first, to enable traders to deduct from the profits of their trade such sum or sums of money as would have been a fair remuneration to persons not members of their families for services performed by any member of their respective fami lies; secondly, to enable parties assessed under schedule D to deduct poor-rates and other parochial rates paid in respect of premises used by them for the purposes of trade; thirdly, to enable persons to deduct from the profits of their trade the sums they might have paid for insurances upon their lives ; and, fourthly, to authorise deduction on account of certain articles kept for the purposes of trade, though such articles may occasionally be used for other pur poses ; and Lord SANDON expressed his agreement with the principles laid down by Dr. BOWEING, that the nearer approach they made to direct taxation the more they consulted the public good. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to Mr. WAILLEY, said that with respect to the question as to whether the measure would be continued beyond three years, the time for considering it would be when the three years had expired. It was, however, ultimately agreed, that all the pro posed amendments should be considered on the bringing up the report. The remaining clauses of the Bill were agreed to, and the House resumed. The Stamp Duties (Ireland) Bill was read a third time, and passed, after a short discussion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced that the report on the Property and Income-tax Bill would be brought up on Friday. Certain returns relating to Irish Railways were ordered, on the motion of Mr. BALDWIN, and , The House adjourned at Half-past Nine o'Clock. of Commons. It is a Centaur—half Parlia mentary, half departmental. It is partly official, partly legislative. It is a power created—not even by' an Order of the SOVEREIGN in Council—hut by a simple minute of the Lords of Privy Council for Affairs of Trade, which absolutely interferes between Parliament and its constituents. It is a power that, if it do not override, does yet forestal and prejudice the privilege of the subject to communicate directly, and in the first instance, with Parliament, on those rights and interest of private property which both its cwn statutes and the practice of the Constitution have recognised from the earliest foundations of the Monarchy. It seems to us that there are substantive grounds of objection to the whole affair of the new Committee or Board. Sir It. PEEL, whose mode of encountering constitutional objections and great principles is always peculiar, brought] forward in a reply a most vigorous defence of the Committee, their cha racter, their mode of doing business, and their reports. We never read anything more curious, or less pertinent. " The Hon. Gentlemen could hardly, he supposed, desire any change in the Board of Trade Committee, so far as the legislation of the present year was concerned." Why ? Because it was unobjectionable either in principle or in practice? No. But " kis Noble Friend Lord Somerset had said that all its Reports would be presented by Easter. Good Friday fell this year"—(the Right Hon. Baronet loves to be so accurate and precise on small matters)—" on the 21st instant. To make any alterations that could affect their legislation in this matter during the present year would therefore be impossible." He had, however, some consolation in store for those who have suffered by the " Bulling" or " Bearing" in Railway Scrip, so successfully con ducted for those who enjoyed the benefit of early exclusive information on the judgments of this Com mittee, a cousin of Parliament once-removed, as it were. Men who had lost, thousands, by the unex pected sale, at any discount, of shares in scheme, say No. 504, in consequence of some other parties having been Mesmerically apprized of the pending report upon it before publication, must have been gratified to learn that Sir ROBERT had actually "viewed, with admiration, the devotion which his Noble, Friend at the head of the Board of Trade had made of his time to the duties which were to be performed." For our parts, our "admi ration" is engrossed by the mystic agency that transmits the most secret intelligence with such wonderful promptitude from Downing Street to Threadneedle Street, and over to Dublin. Then the Right Hon. BARONET fell into another extacy of delight at the last Report of the Board, which con tained some novel and highly important suggestions for improved gradients. He had read this Report with delight, and he kindly prescribed a perusal of it for all cases in which gentlemen experienced an in ability to digest the maintenance of the Railway Committee. This announcement, like its predecessor, seemed to fall but dully on the ear of the House. It was still as far from the objection urged upon him as the last Antarctic Expedition was from home, at South ern Island. As a climax, the effect of which was to silence all further complaint and allay all suspicion touching the unimpeachable excellence of his Commission, he finally declared that, " judging from the character of the Members, and from their reports, he had a very strong presumption in favour of the tribunal." Now, really, this is not the way in which the Minister should meet grave objections to the con stitution of a new, an anomalous, and a very com plex department of administrative economy, which is to deal with two or three scores of millions of the capital of the country. If Sir ROBERT be so bent on Members enlightening and gratifying themselves by the perusal of all the coming reports of the Commis sion at Easter, with all the reasons for their secret decisions on the projects submitted to them—well and good. Let Members wait over Easter to get through them and the " hot-cross buns" of the sea son. But we trust that Parliament will require some much more solid arguments than any Sir R. PEEL has been able to adduce, ere it relax in its present evident disposition to subject the vicarious deputa tion of the Board of Trade, to a full, searching, and uncompromising examination, not only into the cha racter of its constitution and powers, but into the mode in which its business has been already con ducted ; the causes of past exposures of its secret consultations and decisions; and the guarantees pro posed, for preventing the recurrence of such clandes tine communications in future. The conversation which took place in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, on the subject of the constitution of that most anomalous and very unsatis tory body—the Board of Trade Railways Committee —might well have been expected to determine in more important results than any it actually led to. Mr. GISBORNE'S objection to a resolution which, without previous recital or declaration of any kind, committed the House to a recognition of that Board's functions and mode of exercising them, was very well-timed. It was, as he observed, the first time in which the House had been brought into any discus sion on the reports of that Board. He obtained from Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET a sort of assurance that all the reports of the Board would be on the table of the House before Easter, but the Noble Lord pet tishly remarked " that he was under no obligation to give Honourable Members an opportunity of expressing their opinions, generally, on the constitu tion of the Board." Perhaps not; but the announce ment that this porous Board (of the profound secresy of whose yet unpublished decisions we gave a rather notable example in an article of Dublin intelligence, a few days ago), that this Board will be prepared to give in all its reports on the two or three hundred railway projects which have been referred to them, within the next fortnight, would be quite sufficient to found a reasonable opinion of its real merits ; did we know of no other grave presumptions against them in the recent statement promulgated by Mr. Commissioner O'BRIEN. Unless the Board at White hall have a Great Western tender wherein to carry all their schemes and plans, and a Great Western monster-locomotive, moreover, to transport them with the maximum of attainable velocity over the railway of unobstructed official technicalities—we are satisfied that the task they have im posed upon themselves is utterly impracti cable within their own limits. It is one thing to digest—another thing to "get through"—a vast and overwhelming mass of business. We demur to the redemption of the Noble Lord's promise by this Com mittee, as impracticable, humanly speaking; and w have yet to learn that angels sit at this Board, to effect that which is not possible by human means. There was much of sound sense and reason in what Mr. HAWES said, as to the necessity of banging spe cifically under the notice and deliberate discussion of the House the constitution of a body " which had great powers of deciding on vast masses of property, and, as now constituted, he did not think it stood on a satisfactory basis." A satisfactory basis ! No, in deed. How should it, under a constitution which affirms or rejects a given scheme by the votes of the Commissioners present at the settlement of the report ? Thus, as Mr. Hamm showed, it might happen that the President andVice-President of the Board of Trade, the ex officio members of this Board, after having voted against a scheme of railway in its progress through the Board's hands, might yet have at least by their vote, if not by speeches, to support in Parliament a report in its favour, they being responsible for that report. This is worse than a mockery; it amounts to a positive deception on the Legislature. " Then the decisions are secret," added Mr. Haws, who was certainly justified in availing himself of this fea ture in the theory of the Board's construction, as if it was a practical fact, in order to give more cogency to his argument against the imperfections of this system of dispatching railroad Bill business. We, who take leave, with such evidence as the public has been scandalized by having brought under its own eyes, to deny altogether the practical fact; who assert that the decisions of the Board have been neither secret before promulgated, nor unanticipated with mi raculous precision before recorded, even—are content to rest our protest against the proceedings of the Board on the admissions of its advocates and defenders. We complain, first, that the decisions are announced at the Board, with closed doors; secondly, that the parties interested have no means, on the same account, of know ing whether the facts and arguments in which they have all along confidently reposed their case and ha zarded an outlay, more or less considerable, of their money, have been duly stated to, and fairly considered by the Board. In a turnpike-road, dock, or canal Bill, the parties for and against would have ample opportunity of being present at the whole evidence, "argument thereon, and announcement of the finding of the Select Committee on their Bill. Why should the same privilege be denied to the parties to a rail way project? What are the superior pretensions of the Board of Trades' Deputies or Commissioners to those of a Select Committee of gentlemen representing various constituencies in or' bout the locality of the undertaking on the merits of which the House of Com mons desires them to report? There can be but one solitary principle on which the Board of Trade Com mittee can have a prima' facie preferable claim to confi dence. It may be that, a priori, it is to be assumed, they are less likely to be interested parties in such under takings than country gentlemen. But it would argue a degree of pastoral simplicity in those who can be credulous enough to take this lofty disinterestedness for a grave fact, after the wondrous specimens we have had of Stock-Exchange clairvoyance, whose faculty of preternatural perception has so often pene trated all the way from Bartholomew-lane, right through countless streets and lanes, and barriers of stone, brick, and mortar, into the penetralia of the Railway Committee's cabinet, so as to peruse reports in the very act, and even while awaiting the very act, of the Commissioners' subscription. Another head of constitutional objection to the components and organisation of this Board is—that it is the most palpable anomaly which ever slipped down, unper ceived, the open throat of a dozing House Accounts from Madrid of the 26th ult. state that General ORIBE, who had been dismissed from the command of the Basque provinces for not putting ZuunAxo's son instantly to death, according to general orders, had been tried by a court-martial and honourably acquitted. The Cortes did not meet on the 26th. The following is the state of the Funds on that day : Three per Cents., 37i Cash, all for the Account ; Five per Cents., 25, at 60 days; Coupons, 27, at 60 days; Passive, 78, at 60 days. Exchange on London, 87g. The proposed conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock forms almost the only subject of discussion in the Paris papers. As might be expected, it excites much interest throughout France, for though expected and feared for some time, a gene ral belief prevailed that years would elapse before it could be carried into effect. Now, the conversion is regarded as cer tain, if not this session at the very latest the next. The sen sation created had caused a great depression of that stock. But a few days ago it was quoted at 122 f., while on Tuesday it had fallen to 119 f. 20c. —a fall of nearly three per cent. The accounts from Zurich are to the 28th of February. On that day, the debate on the Jesuits was resumed; and, after much discussion, a vote was taken on the main question, which was decided against the Jesuits. Ten cantons and two half cantons voted for the expulsion of that body, while eight cantons and two half cantons voted that the question should be left for the decision of each individual canton The principal speaker on the 28th was Colonel Luvm,Deputy . for the Italian canton of Tesino, who made an excellent speech, and was loudly cheered. He said, " The canton which h e represented was entirely Catholic, and that the Ca tholic religion was there the'religion of the State, but that the canton had not hesitated to demand the expulsion of the Je suits. The people of his canton," he added, " did not regard the question of the Jesuits as a religious one. On the contrary, they felt that the Jesuits had more than once compromised the Catholic religion by their absurd doctrines, and had excited dangerous dissensions. This was so true, that a chief of the Catholic Church had, by a remarkable bull, suppressed the order, and proclaimed to the world that he did so entirely in the interest of religion. He might be told, perhaps, that if one Pope had suppressed the order, another had restored it, but it should not be forgotten that when Pius VII. did this, he was more than eighty years old, and in a debilitated state of mind, from physical suffering.as well as age. The question was strictly a political one. The Society of Jesus, already power ful by the means that it 'possessed, and its extensive rela tions, making war upon 'liberal . institutions, whether mo narchical or republican, and already having a footing in several parts of the territory of Switzerland, was desirous of covering the whole of the cantons with its occult in fluence. The Jesuits were the declared enemies of civil liberty, of the :liberty of the press, and of the education of the people at large, under the surveillance of the civil authorities. They sought, by extending more and more their dangerous power, to stifle the liberty which had been acquired by the regenerated cantons. They were, in fact, the most powerful auxiliaries of despotism, and, therefore, the people of Switzerland had reason to fear them, and to demand their expulsion from a country which was the centre of a wise progressive liberty. The Jesuits had been invited to Lucerne and if the way were deluged with blood and covered with with dead—if the cries of desolation pursued them in their course, still would they persevere, unless checked by the strong hand of power. It had been said, indeed, that the numbers of these bons pores summoned to Lucerne was only seven. But the Diet should not forget that when LOYOLA founded the order, he had at first only twelve disciples. Fifty- eight years afterwards the number of Jesuits exceeded 10,000, and at the end of a century 19,000. They had 300 residences and 600 colleges ; they had invested Europe, and had obtained a footing in the new world. This was history, and it should serve as a warning. If the Jesuits were allowed to get into Lucerne, they would not stop at that point." Three other deputies spoke on the same side. They were replied to by the deputy of the Valais, who addressed the following menace to the cantons which call for the expulsion of the Jesuits :—" Only come to the Valais," said he, " and we will receive you in arms. You wish to raise the Govern ments which are compromised, and you find no better means than wishing to impose your will upon populations who know how to resist yon." After this speech the sitting was adjourned. A correspondent of the Commerce announces as follows the result of the subsequent sittings— " We have this instant received the news of the vote of the Helvetic Diet en the Jesuit question. Ten cantons and two half cantons were of opinion that this question should become federal, and that the Diet should pronounce the ex pulsion •f the order, not only from Lucerne, but from the whole of Switzerland. Eight cantons and two half cantons voted in favour of the question remaining cantonal. Two can. tons, St. Gall and Geneva, gave it as their opinion that the cantons which had admitted the Jesuits should be recommended to send them away, but they refused to come to a definitive reso. lution on the que s ti on of declaring if the Die t ou ght itself to order their expulsion. It is evident from what p recedes th at the cantons should at cannot last t which desire to k e ap the Jesuits have not the majority, and that they no h o in p c e li t n o e to obt t a h in at it; e f o r even if St. Gall and Ge neva be the result, It Is probable, on the contrary, that tbo cantons The transaction of private business and the presenta tion of petitions occupied the attention of the House during the early part of the sitting. In answer to Mr. THORNBLY, Sir R. PEEL stated that under the reciprocity treaties, sugar, the produce of the United States, would be admitted upon the same terms as Java or Manilla sugar. Lord LINCOLN 'stated in answer to Mr. REDHBAD YORKE, that the cost of the new Houses of Parliament would not greatly exceed the estimate, and that there was every reason to believe that the new House of Commons would be ready by 1847. Sir J. GRAHAM stated, in answer to Lord EBRING TON, that it was not the intention of the Government to introduce any measure on the subject of turnpike trusts ; and in answer to Lord MAHON, the Right Hon. Baronet stated, that he did not intend to intro. duce any measure to remedy the evils arising from the interment of the dead in large towns. On the order of the day being read for the House resolving itself into Committee on the Property Tax Bill, Captain BERNAL OSBORNE moved as an amend ment, that the House do resolve itself into Commit tee that day three months. Mr. MUNTZ, in a humorous speech, supported the amendment. Mr. F. Beam condemned the financial policy of the Government which had rendered the continuance of the income-tax necessary. He did not see how they could do without it, unless they imposed two mil lions of additional taxation, and that was his only excuse for voting for its continuance ; but he had a decided objection to the income-tax being made a part of the permanent taxation of the country, but THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH - 6, 1845 which desire to see the Jesuits expelled by the Diet, will in the end gain the advantage. The public mind is so 'violently agitated at present in Switzerland, and particularly in the cantons of St. Gall and Geneva, that it is difficult to imagine that the Grand Councils of these cantons, which have given the instructions that have been just followed, shall not soon find themselves forced to act. But it will be sufficient for one of these states to join those desirous of the general expulsion of the order to g ve the latter the majority in the Diet." Great excitement prevailed in the Stock market at Paris on Tuesday, and a large amount of business was done in the Five per Cents. The mania for speculation in railway shares is still on the increase. The Five per Cents. closed at 119 f. 20c. ; the Four per Cents. at 108 f. 50c. ; and the Threes at 85E ; New Loan, 86f. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,290 f. ; Rouen, 1,162 E 50c. ; Havre, 975 f. ; Spanish Active, 35 ; Threes, 40 3 / 4 ; Belgian Five per Cents., 104%. THIS DAY'S NEWS. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. Lord Campbell presided. THE EARL OF STIRLING V. THE OFFICERS OF STATE OF SCOTLAND, This appeal stood on the paper for hearing, but upon its being called on, In consequence of some informality, the case was again referred to the Appeal Committee. MACKINTOSH V. GORDON This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The question in this case was as to the effect of a bond executed by Alexander, the last but one Duke of Gordon; on the marriage of his natural daughter to Mr. Mackintosh, by which he settled upon her the sum of 5,0001. The question in the case was whether by that bond the daughter took the sum absolutely, or only a life interest in it. The Court of Session decided that she took a life interest only, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. The argtunenta on the part of the appellant occupied their Lord ships the whole morning. CHANCERY. : -(tHISDAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day, and heard appeal notices. Ills Lordship was occupied the whole morning with a part-heard motion, which contained no points of interest, except to the parties concerned. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) _ The Vice-Chancellor of England took pleas and demurrers to-day. His Honour, in comequence of the extreme cold, sat in a private room. The Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce was occupied the whole morn ing with the part-heard case of " Goodson v. Ellison." SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BiIicHELL.) BOYEB V. DE BOINVILLE. The parties to this action are both Frenchmen. The plaintiff, who is a shoemaker, and resided at 126, Strand, the premises lately burned down, sought to recover 141. -for goods delivered to the defendant, M. De Boinville, at various times between April and December in 1844. In defence a set-off was urged, amounting to nearly 401., for services which it was alleged the defendant had performed for the plaintiff in negotiating loans of money and other matters of business which the latter was incompetent to, fl - om his inability to speak English. There was, however, no satisfactory evidence adduced to support the set-off, and the plaintiff's claim being proved, with the exception of one item, which was doubtful, a verdict was given for 121. IBs. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron I'm= and Mr. Justice WintAxs.) THE BETHNAL-GREEN MURDER. lama Tapping, aged 25, tallow-chandler, was indicted for the wil ful murder of Emma Whiter, by shooting her in the neck with a pistol, on the night of the 27th of January last. The prisoner, when 'laced in the dock, exhibited much firmness. He is a short stout young man, with a rather unmeaning face, and certainly has nothing in his features to exhibit deep-seated passions of any kind. Mr. Doane attended to prosecute, and Mr. Clarkson was engaged for the defence. Avanche, who lives in Waterloo-town, Bethnal-green-road, said that between twenty minutes and a quarter to one o'clock on the morning of the 27th of January, his attention was directed to something smouldering on the ground. He saw that it was a bonnet and ribbon, and, on looking about, discovered the girl lying in the street with her face downwards. She was not dead, for he found some sensation in her pulse. She was conveyed to the London Hospital. John Harvey and Edward Backhouse gave similar evidence, and said that a pool of blood was discovered on the spot where she had lain. _ _ _ . _ _ Wm. Whiter—l live at 105, Brick-lane, and lam brother to the de ceased. I did not know that the prisoner and my sister kept com pany. I never saw them together. I recollect the night of the 27th of January; my sister came Into my house about a quarter before ten o'clock that night; the prisoner camein a few minutes afterwards. I took her into the parlour. The prisoner went into the tap-room. During the time they remained they did not speak to each other. My sister went away at twelve o'clock. The prisoner met her at the door, and they went away together. By Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—They appeared to go away ;on good terms, and shook hands with me before they left. William Slitter, a weaver, stated that he lived at No. 4, South Conduit-street, Bethnal-green-road. I know the prisoner, and I also knew Emma Whiter. Whilst I was standing at my father's door, about half-past twelve o'clock on the night of the 27th of January, I saw the prisoner and the deceased pass, and go towards King-street. He had his arm round her neck. I then went up stairs to bed. About six or seven minutes after I heard the report of fire-arms ; the sound came from the back of our residence. I looked out of both the back and front windows, but I saw nothing. The spot where the deceased was found is about thirty-five yards from my residence. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I have known the prisoner for some time. He has several brothers and sisters—how many I cannot say. I do not know that he has been very kind and considerate to his brothers and sisters, as I was not sufficiently intimate with him to know. I have been in his company many times, and I always found him a well-conducted and kind-hearted young man. By a juryman —I heard the report of fire-arms about six or seven minutes after they passed the door at which I was standing. Richard Bunn, a weaving machine-maker—l was in a public-house called the " Rising Sun," in Sail-street, Waterloo-town, between one and two o'clock on Tuesday morning, and the house Is within a quarter of a mile from the place where the deceased was found. The prisoner's brother was there ; there were about twelve there al together. The prisoner came in about one o'clock. He appeared in a very deranged state. lie sat down on the corner of the table, and spoke to his brother. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—He trembled, and appeared very strange in his behaviour. He appeered to be in a state of vlo lent excitement, and seemed confused. He was not collected. Examination continued—A person named Capes was there. The prisoner said, " The deed is done, and cannot be undone." His brother did not do anything. I said, " Jem, what is the matter with you ?" His reply was, " What's the matter, indeed ? " The sun shines bright, And the moon shinesclear." I said, " Will you go with me ?" He said, " Yes, I will go with you anywhere, as you never led me Into any harm." He said, " You go up the court, and I will meet you at the other end." I heard the prisoner say to Capes, " Capes, I want no more to say to you, for you have been the cause of this destruction." I went round the court and joined again with the prisoner. I asked him to go home with me to have supper, but he declined. He said, " Why should Igo to supper with you ? Go in doors, and I'll go and see how the young children are," meaning his brothers and sisters. I went with him, Ho sat down on a chair behind the door and placed his hands on the back of another chair, his head resting on them. I then left him. It was past two o'clock when I left Tapping. I then went to deceased's father's house. When I went back to prisoner's house I heard the father of deceased ask Tapping, " Where is my . daughter ?" He answered, " Yes, I have been with your daughter all the evening at your son's." By Mr. Justice Wtssraste—The prisoner appeared to be sober. He said he had only two glasses of brandy the whole of the night. Thomas Whiter—l live at No. 20, North Conduit-street, Bethnal green-road. lam father of the deceased. On the morning of the 28th of January I went to prisoner's house, and found him sitting on a chair with his head, resting on his hands. He was rather paler than usual. I asked him if he had seen my daughter? He said, " No, not this sight, nor yet the night before " I asked him if he had heard anything of her? He then said they both had been toge ther that evening at her brother's. He said ho had left her well and hearty at a quarter-past twelve s'clock at the corner of Mape-street. Then I left. Police-constable Johnson, 206 K—On the night of the 27th of January I went with the last witness to Tapping's house, and in answer to a question from the father, the prisoner said he bad left the deceased in the Bethnal-green-road. Examined the room, and found a pistol. William Crispin—On the morning of the 28th of January I was in the parlour of the Rising Sun, when the prisoner came in, and I ob served that his hand was bleeding. On my observing it to him, he said he had cut his finger. After some time, he said the deed was done, and could not be undone, and it would be a mystery to all. The brother Henry said, " strike me dead, you have shot your woman !" I then left and went home. ThOmas Perkins, guurnaker—The prisoner brought me a pistol on Saturday, the 20th of January, to get the tap repaired. I did so, and took it to the Rising Sun, where I gave it to the prisoner. Saw him on the following Sunday to further repair the pistol. Did so, and gave it to him. Thomas ; Capes, of Bethnal-green Knew that the prisoner was paying his addresses to the deceased. On the night of the 27th the prisoner and deceased were at the bar of the Rising Sun. The prisoner paid some attention to two young girls there, which excited the anger of the deceased, whe struck one of them. Prisoner interfered and separated them. They then re turned to the dance, and continued there till twenty minutes to one o'clock. I went with the deceased to Lower Conduit-street, as she said she was frightened of the girls with whom she had quarrelled. We stood standing at Conduit-street, waiting for the prisoner's coming up ;he came up, and struck her with his right hand in the face. He gave no reason for it. I told him not to strike her. He struck her again, I returned for her bonnet, as they appeared "to have made it up, and were again friendly. I was never in the company of the de ceased, except at the ball. Sergeant Shaw stated that he first saw the prisoner about half-past , three o'clock, at the station, on tho morning of the murder. Ile noticed a slight wound between the finger and thumb of his right hand. There was another wound on the fore-finger of his right hand, on which there was a piece of plaister, but it seemed to he an 411 d wound. The other was a fresh wound, and seemed to have bled a little. (The witness produced the pistol and two bullets ; it was a pocket one, and about four inches long.) The wound on the prisoner's hand was one that might have been caused by the recoil of the pistol. Cross-examined by Mr. Crsiaesost—Asked the prisoner if he had been in company with the deceased the night before. He said he had been with her at her brother's. He also said he was an innocent man, and that he had kept company with her for two years. Asked him about a spot of blood on his apron. He said he did not know that it was there, and said " I suppose it must have come from my hand," meaning the old wound. It was then I noticed the slight wound between the finger and thumb. Before he made these state ments I had cautioned him. Mr. William Cummings, a surgeon at the London Hospital, said— Soon after one o'clock, on Tuesday morning, the 28th of January, the deceased was brought into the hospital—she was quite dead. There was a black patch on the left side of her neck. It appeared to have been caused by a pistol-shot.—(The witness then showed the position of the wound, by placing his hand on his neck.) There was a great deal of blood on her clothes. Her hands were slightly smeared, as if they had been touched with bloody fingers. I afterwards made a post mortem examination, and found a wound in this black patch, which proceeded upwards to the top of the spine. I extracted two bullets and some wadding, and have no doubt that they were the cause of her death. These are the bullets. The deceased's father was re-called, and said that he had seen the body of the deceased, and that it was the body of his daughter. Mr. CLARKSON then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Baron PARK'S afterwards summed up, and recapitulated the evidence already given by the different witnesses. The jury having consulted for two or three minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned Judges having put on their black caps, Mr. Baron Paine proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoner. He said—Prisoner at the bar, James Tapping, the time has now come when you are to receive the sentence which the offended justice of your country requires for the dreadful crime of which you have been most justly convicted. The jury after a calm consideration of the evidence adduced before them, have come to the conclusion that you are guilty of the crime laid to your charge, and I think no one in this assembly who has heard the evi dence, can entertain the slightest doubt that you committed the enormous crime of taking the life of a fellow-creature her life without giving her time for reflection—without giving an in stanti n a m for o mreenpte repentance. f t a u n ti e e s r u v. a s i p vei e tev e lmi t like this ? A feeling of jealousy was no doubt at the bottom of it. tt t n ys c eo your r side nunfortunate which foof rt tuhl w iLea i t l will It is now my duty to pass the sentence of the law upon you, a sen o i e n t itoo however, weffi will effect, bring be ien f g e e for car ried 01. cannot hold out to you the slightest hope of mercy on unquestionably ai unsuspecting coulda nerodnrlel have a e ny ee driven o n her you part.to commit YouY ou too a k e s r w i m a 3 - 0 ried into effect, that time will be left you which you did not allow trust t hab et that carried sentence,r e f you sincere repentance for the sins you have committed.

All that now remains for me to do is to pass upon you the sentence of the law for the crime you have committed—that for this crime you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, there to be hanged by the neck till you are dead, your body then to he taken down and to be buried within the precincts of the gaol : and may God have mercy upon your soul. (The Learned Judge, while delivering the sentence, was so deeply affected, that at times he was quite inaudible.) The prisoner who, during his Lordship's feeling address, had lis tened with the most earnest attention, at the conclusion bowed pro foundly, and was then led from the bar. NEW COURT. The Court was occupied during the morning in trying petty cases of no interest. The Countess of Aylesford died on Sunday last at Packington Hall, the family seat in Warwickshire, after a short illness. The deceared Countess was fourth daughter of George, late Earl of Warwick, and was married to the Earl of Aylesford, April 23, 1821. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWTS. CITY. QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 15,000 to 20,000 bales, at previous rates. Railway Share were a good deal dealt in, and prices continued buoyant. There are no ship arrivals to• day. From India and China a copious summary has been re ceived this morning. The political advices show still that our military prowess, on a small scale, is likely to be in con stant requisition. The mercantile markets were not gene rally good for British fabrics. There has this week been the largest sale of Assam Tea ever offered. It comprised 1,233 chests, imported by the Assam Company from their own estates, and 64 chests on private account. The Assam Company have received most favourable accounts from their plantations, and some indi viduals have associated themselves here under the name of the Assam Company, to see this description of tea fairly brought before the public in its genuine state. The large amount of British capital staked in the experiment renders it a matter of considerable inte rest; and it is satisfactory to learn that the quality is de cidedly improving, and that the fine class Black descriptions excited much competition, realising very full prices, say 2s. to 3s. 10d. per lb.
