I r ~ '~ ~~ ' -- ~~~ LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1844. Considering that the Anti-Corn-law League—acccrd ing to the statements of the majority of the Ministerial j ournals—has been dead or dying for the last three months and upwards —we never knew a confederacy in so uncommonly health y a condition, or which gave such unequivocal indications of longevity. It is a great act of presumption in the League to persevere in the enjoyment of such excellent health, when it ought long since to have given up the ghost, if only to jus tify the statements of the Herald, the Standard, Ste. hied it possessed the slightest sense of feeling and delicacy, it would long since have put an end to its existence, and thereby saved the character of these estimable journals for sagacity and foresight. But the League has no sense of propriety—no sense of disinter estedness ; it is purely selfish, otherwise when the organs of Monopoly insisted on its dying, and even tried hard to kill it, it would have died with the utmost readiness, and with the best grace imaginable! Those who have read SUETO NIPS, may, perhaps, re member the curious anecdote which the biographer of the CXSARS tells of the NERO and his mother AG RIPPINA. Anxious to disembarrass her of the troubles of life, this affectionate son administered a dose of poison to his parent, and immediately spread abroad a report that she was dead. But 10, to his exceeding discomfiture, the poison pro duced no effect, and the next day the old lady met NERO at the dinner table, looking as smiling and c omfortable as if nothing had happened ! Annoyed at his ill-success, the tender-hearted son next invited his mother to an evening party at the island of Caprice, and gave orders to the skipper of thi- - Vesll in which she embarked, to drown her on the passne....The man of course was all compliance, but alas, NERO, had never taken into consideration the fact that the old lady swam like a duck, and was not less asto nished than horrified at finding her swim safe ashore, and be among the foremost to enjoy the festivities of the evening ? Just as NERO acted towards his refractory parent, have the Ministerial prints acted towards the League. t'They have tried to poison it by their deadly slanders, and to drown it in the fierce, headstron g torrent of their abuse ; but in spite of all they can do, it still persists, like the tough AGRIPPINA, in living, and whatis worse, in turning its existence to the most:active and efficient account. What wonder that its enemies are mad denedat their ill- success, and more inveterate than he y have yet been against the League ! But, fortu nately, they have less power than ever to injure this great popular confederacy, which on Wednesday next will again take the field at Co vent_garden with aug mented resources, renewed ener' talents. sharp.. ened and disciplined by ex perieners.Waen:ll. substantial good from the exertions of the leArttie-Cinolrh law League in the approaching campaign. -w; THE SUN, LONDCSN, MONDAY EYENING, DECEMBER 9, 1844. believe that it will give another serious shock to the crazy fabric of Monopoly; set poor Mr. BANK ES, of the Dorsetshire Elysium, quite beside himself with rage and despair; draw forth new powers of abuse from the Duke of RICHMOND ; and elicit from the reluctant, but expediency-guided Premier, a more explicit declaration in favour of the principle of free trade than he has yet ventured to make. As we have observed on more than one occasion, Sir ROBERT PEEL only bides his time to come round to the views of the League. He is too observant a statesman not to see the strict justice of its demands, but feeling that the Monopolist party and those who side with them, are yet too strong for him, he quietly rests on his oars, confidently antici pating the approach of the hour when he will have both wind and tide in his favour. Under such cir cumstances, what is the course that the Anti-Corn law League should pursue ? It should keep itself before the public eye more prominently than ever; persist in its constitutional agitation with a boldness and pertinacity abundantly justified by the gradual progress of events; and, above all and before all, not neglect the circulation of tracts, to the fullest extent possible, among the inhabitants of the agricul tural districts, who at the present moment are from a variety of causes—not the least of which is their state of physical destitution—well disposed to give a favourable consideration to such clear, forcible arguments as the League, through its tracts, may ad dress to them. It is by adopting such a strenuous course of agitation only that Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT, and the other members of their confederacy, can hope to bring the Premier round to their own views, for impervious as he is to conviction, he is, and has always been, and will always continue to be, exceedingly sensitive to the effects of the "pressure from without." a state of real inferiority, and it is difficult to compre hend how such a state of things can be persisted in, when it adds at least one or two weeks to a passage of a few days, and this when all nations are deyia ing means of augmenting in every possible way ra pidity of circulation. These reflections are certainly just, but they ought, we think, to be applied to matters constantly passing before our eyes. Every day, nay, every hour, at the entrances to Paris, there may be seen vehicles loaded with goods, travellers, and merchants, obliged to undergo veritable quarantines, and that with out any fear of contagion serving as a pretext. A vehicle, for instance, proceeding from Meux to Paris, takes about four hours to effect this distance. When it has so far advanced as to arrive at the Barri(lre de la Villette, it is detained an hour, and thus its journey is prolonged a fifth. It is the same, and even worse, for all the articles brought to Paris each morning. The unfortunate drivers are obliged to leave home three or four hours sooner than would - be necessary without the octroi, and are forced to pass a part of the night fully exposed to the inclemency of the season, until the unfortunate moment arrives when it shall please the octroi-officer to poke his examining lance into the load. Everymorning several thousand individuals lose in thisway a considerable portion of their time, and that without any profit to any one. There is in this a clear loss for them and for society. Our octroi system, which forces citizens to stop on the road at the moment of a r r i v i ng a t the end of their journey, and subjects them to the visits of a crowd of agents, costing large sums to keep up, will certainly one day pass for a mark of barbarism, doing but little honour to our times. There is not a single observation justly addressed to lazarettos that cannot be applied with greater reason to these fiscal citadels established round Paris. Our neighbours, who are cited as a proof of the necessity of suppressing quarantines, have perceived that it was absurd to maintain amongst them the entrance duties which weigh so heavily on our commerce. It is time to imitate them, and to put an end to a state of things, the most manifest result of which is to harass the citizens, to cause a great loss of time, to cause a prejudice to merchandise, and to offer a premium to fraud." The Presse, which has an article on a similar subject, praises the new tariff, and adds :—" But it must not be forgotten that measures of this nature are incom plete as long as the general legislation of the country favours the two most powerful navies in the world. The day on which the evil is to be Irked in its root the Government must determi ne t o !Eke a more de cisive blow. Whilst waiting for this moment, which we trust will soon arrive, we must applaud every act of the Government which • indicates a tendency to wards that complete reform, and we are certain that the ordinance published in the Moniteur will be hailed with satisfaction in all our seaports." The Constitu• The commotions caused by Puseyism are happily not confined now to the cloisters of Oxford. They have become general throughout the country, and the jesuitical, deceitful, and anti-Protestant intrigues of certain clergymen and Fellows of Colleges, together with the connivance of the Bishops, and the almost total silence of the two Archbishops, have excited a feeling of alarm for the safety of the reformed reli gion which does honour to Englishmen. The danger is unknown, and is therefore probably magnified; but the symptoms, nevertheless, are such as to warrant the most energetic measures on the part of the laity in opposing the tide of Popish innovations, which are so visible in the Church. A report prevails that the Bishops have become alarmed at the mani festations of public opinion, that frequent communications are carried on between them and the Primates, and that the Episcopal Bench are determined to put down forthwith Pusnr, and NEWMAN, and WARD, and all the young fry of Popish imitators. Not the slightest credit can be given to such a report, yet parties, from a strange hallucination who have hitherto honestly opposed the Tractarians, not only place implicit confidence in it, but recommend that the redress of this unprincipled outrage on Protestantism should be left entirely in the hands of the Bishops. Who ever heard of defeated rebels being allowed to make terms with the Execu tive ? ;What rational man would recommend that a band of thieves, caught in flagrante delicto, should be allowed to retire to their haunts of infamy, and pro pose terms of settlement to those they had robbed ? Why the Church, and the very nursery ,f our Bishops and Clergy, Protestant Oxford, have been the cause of all the mischief. The tracts issued from that venerable establishment, for a time, not a whisper against them was heard from the Epis copal Bench ; 89 appeared, all directed, openly or covertly, against the Protestant religion, and it was )nly when the 90th, so outrageous in its character, tnd so directly opposed to tenets revered by English :nen, made a noise in the world that the Bishop of the iocese, or the Archbishop of CANTERBWRY—We orget which—intimated to Messrs. FUMY and NEW MAN that it would be prudent to stop the publication. The hint was taken, and this shows what the fathers of the Church could do if they were serious in the ,natter. But they are not serious. With one or two honourable exceptions, their late addresses to the clergy A visitations have been of such a vacillating character, so vague, and yet so forgiving to the offenders, that all reasonable men said, if they looked to the Bishops for support, they would trust to a broken reed. Their replies to remonstrances from the laity have seen equally unsatisfactory. These Fathers, in place of treating the people under their charge as re formed Christians who have a dread of change, re huke them for meddling with the ceremonies of the Church, and seem to rejoice when, in the abundance , of their rubrical knowledge, they can prove that :hurchwardens and vestries know nothing about the mportance of the surplice, the beauties of the 4ffertory, and the blessings which will be conferred on the Church by burning tapers, genuflexions, and *rankincense. Admitting, therefore, that a conclave is to be held on this important schism, what beneficial result can be expected? The two Archbishops are old glen, one approaching fourscore years and ten, the other never displayed great activity, and, if report speaks the truth, is more guided by one of his brethren than his own judgment. Many of the Bishops take little interest in the matter ; they love quiet and retirement, Ind will be led by the two most active, stirring, and ►,aughty prelates on the bench, whose opinions are well known at Holston and Tottenham. Will the Protestants of England trust their religious principles to the decision of such manifest Puseyites ? tionnel says, it is the intention of Ministers, if chances are not against them to dissolve the Chamber at the close of the approaching session, and, among ether reasons for this step, gives the following :—" The KING, fortunately, has the strongest health and the most robust constitution, and his reign will, without doubt, be prolonged for many years. It is, however, only a matter of prudence that the Chamber should always have three sessions to run, in order that, if an event, which is probably very distant, but which ought always to be provided for, should bring on a change in the reigning prince, a sufficiently consider able period should elapse before the time of a general election. It ought therefore, it is alleged, to be laid down as a principle of prudence, that, unless under grave circlimstances, the Chamber for the future should be dissolved, not after the fourth session, but after the third ; and this rule is, it is said, to be ap plied to the present Legislature." The peaceful demonstrations of the war party in France, which are responded to by one of the organs of that class in England, has afforded the Journal des Debate an occasion for a humorous article. After noticing the reconciliation, it says : "Del;ghtful harmony ! Behold our politicians, our journalists, who, during the last four or five years, have been exhausting themselves in looking out in the dic tionary for, ano using all the polemical terms they could find, and sometimes others much stronger, for their mutual accusations of lightness, stupidity, ambition, and thirst for war ; who, were we to have listened to them, would have made us believe that not only Europe but the world was on the point of being put to fire and the sword. Behold them, suddenly taking the fancy to re- Elect and discovering—shall we not say to their own great surprise--that they are not so malignant as they were thought to be. ' What would you have ?' says one party. We thought you were going to play the part of Napoleon—that you intended to take Antwerp, the left bank of the Rhine, and even, perhaps, Ireland I On hearing you roar so loud, we were afraid you wanted to eat us up !" No, no,' replies the other, ' Don't be afraid, we do not wish to hurt you. We certainly now and then sing the Marseillaise, but it is all in joke. In the ebullitions of our eloquence we retain our knowledge of the world and its affairs; in the bile of our pamphlets there is always a sentiment of truth. We thought you wished to thwart and humiliate us. It is no such thing. Let us come to an understanding. Give its your hand, for we now know what you mean. We often find in certain fabulous romances, how two knights errant meet in a fog, or in an enchanted forest, with their visors lowered, and without even taking time to demand their respective names, or to regard their device or escutcheon, they blindly attack each other, and engage in mortal combat, and then, during a moment of ht site tion, they raise their visors, look each other in the face, and find that the two fierce combatants are brothers in arms, the best friends in the world—Orestes and Pylades, Damon and Pythias, Nisus and Euryalus—upon which they embrace, execrating their mistake. Such an ad venture or mischance has, it appears, occurred to - M. Thiers and Lord Palmerston. During four years Europe was a spectator of the battle of those two champions. The two Parliaments resounded with the heroic blows which they dealt each other. But a fine day arrives, the fog clears off, the two champions wipe their eyes, and regard each other. M. Thiers recognises Lord Palmerston, and Lord Palmerston recognises M. Thiers. There is a moment of surprise ! The encounter lasted so long, -it was so rude, in appearanc e a t l eas t, t h at t h e un h appiness of the two hampions may easily be imagined. But let us not feel any alarm ; neither of the knights have been killed or wounded. The innocent public alone were de ceived, who believed the knights were fighting seriously. The simple people believed it was a tragedy, whilst it was only a comedy in five acts. It appears that we are now witnessing the fifth act, and that tne piece ought to conclude, like every well -arranged comedy, with a ge neral explanation and reconciliation. An explanation is made,.the mystery is cleared up, and all parties em brace. This is the spectacle which we are now witness ing. The two great statesmen of 1840 are lavishing all kinds of endearing epithets on each other through the medium of their respective organs." TILE BOURSFSATtrapsy, Dnc. 7.

We are glad to find the Paris Opposition journals daily displaying less animosity against England, and directing the attention of the French nation, more especially the trading community, to the decayed state of their mercantile navy, the commercial treaties firmed by their neighbours in a spirit of peace and equality, and the necessity of a more liberal system, both foreign and domestic, to place the commerce of France on a footing with that of Germany and Eng land. This is noble rivalry, and infinitely more ad vantageous to the glory and greatness of France than hundreds of victories, which only waste human life, and in a few years generally leave affairs as they were at first. The Constitutionnel of Saturday has en article on the commerce of Prussia, Holland, and Belgium, as compared with that of France; and after showing the vast increase which has taken place in the exports and imports of the latter country, adds : Thus we are menaced and outrivalled on all sides. Treaties are concluded without our concurrence, and we daily see our neighbours coming into redoubtable competition, without its being possible for us to be come participators in any just proportion in this movement, which interests in so high a degree the produce of our country, that is to say, the prosperity of our manufactures and commerce," The,,. iztional too has an excellent article on the obstruction .to trade in France, among which BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY FOR DECEMBER.-- BETA.. .ey closes the year with the same spirit and talent, and genuine humour as it began with. The leader of the corps comique and pathetique is Albert Smith ; and we now look in vain amongst the contributors to the vari ous monthlies around us, for anything approaching the style of rich: and natural humour, mingled with heart stirring pathos, which pervades his writings. " The Fortunes of the Scattergood Family" will, we are satis fied, be as much the favourite of the public as the best of Diekens'sfacetious works. " The Tempted" is a well-written tale, powerfully worked out, and would well repay the trouble of dramatising. "The Physiology of London Life—Life in Lodgings," is 'cry a mus i ng . Miss L ou i sa S tuart Costello, in her " Sketches of Le gendary Cities," gives us " Shrewsbury," and displays ' both research and good taste. Our Shropshire friends cannot do better than lay out a Christmas half crown and purchase the magazine. " Benefits of Snuff-taking" is a laughable story, and tho "Post Bac, or Eccentric Correspondents," by B. B. Peake, is highly entertaining. There are two first-rate poems, " The Genius of Theo critus" and " Tribute to Anacreon :" the first is one con tinued flow of golden thoughts —we do not recollect a poem in Bentley, from the commencement of the maga zine, of such rich beauty. There are several other papers, to which we have not time to refer. L e t us not, however, emit a word of praise to John Leech, whose illustrations are superb.--Shropshire Conservative.

The meeting was convened ly the Free-trade circular, signed tee ; and notwithstanding cobmy Committee Stans n fi o el t d, i Es s q., nin C d hai g rman of that only such persons as were most likely to qualify for the West Riding were invited, the extensive saloon, the largest public room in Leeds, was completely filled ; and judging from the enthusiasm which prevailed during the eunciation lof the plans of the League, in the eloquent speeches of Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright, we cannot but infer that a most important stimulus was given to the cause of free trade in this district. —Leeds Mercury. • Sir William Middleton has let 20 acres of land among the cottagers of Great and Little Livermere, the rents varying from U. to 21. an acre. reckons quarantine, and the octroi duty (town dues, and, it might add, the obnoxious and useless system of passports. That journal thus vividly describes the injury done to French commerce, and recommends the Government to imitate the example of Eng land : " Three days back some just reflections were given in a Conservative journal on the quarantine system, which is so rigorously applied in our ports, and which causes a considerable prejudice to our maritime relations with the East. It is very right, without doubt, to fear the plague, and to take precautions against it ; but those which we take are exaggerated, and the neighbouring nations, who have profited better than we by the advance of science, are gradually obtaining exclusive possession of the Me diterranean, for the simple reason that a long preventive imprisonment is not required in their ports as in ours. Therefore travellers and goods coming from the Levant prefer the line of Trieste to that of Marseilles, and, strangely enough, the journey from Alexandria to 1 ranee is som e ti mes e ff ecte d more quickly by passing t England than by landing at Toulon. This places us in THIS DAY'S NEWS MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) PRIVY. COUNCIL.--(THIS DAY.) The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to day at the Council Chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present were the Master of the Rolls, Mr. Baron Parke, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and the Judge of the Admiralty Court. The further arguments in the part-heard case of Jones v. Goldnett, which came before their Lordships upon appeal from the Prerogative Court, occupied their Lord ships the whole day. - CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in Lincoln's Inn Hall shoitly aftei eleven o'clock. His Lordship heard ap peals to-day, after disposing of some short petitions; but no case of interest came before his Lordship during the morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole day with motions, continuing the second seal from Saturday. cOII.N - -EkeliANUt—lVloNnAv ; (Before Sir J.

His Honour then took motions in equity._ • (Before Sir J. K. WIGRAM.) LSE v. PAIN. This case was before the Court.. in March last, the question being one of the construction of the will of Mrs. Waring, late of Stockwell, leaving property to the amount of 100,0001. She died in November, 1826, and after leaving legacies to several individuals, she gave 1001. to each of the following Societies : Highbury College, the London and Church Missionary Societies, the Bible Society, and the Female Peniten tiary at Pentonville. By codicils she gave many other legacies, some of them repetitions of the former ones. The-question is; whether these bequests by codicil are additional or not ? The executors allege that if they are so held they will far more than exhaust the whole estate ; they therefore pray fOr the direction of the Court, There are four exceptions in the case, and these have already occupied the Conrt two days. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(TRIS DAY) Lord DENMAN sat at nisi prius this morning, at the Guildhall, with . a London common jury. Several unde fended causes were disposed of during the early part, affer4hich the Court proceeded to try common jury cases. No case of any public interest came on during the morning. During the week ending on Saturday, the arrivals of . English Wheat and Barley were tolerably good; while the imports of. Foreign Barley and Oats were on the in crease. Of all other articles of Grain the receipts were •comparatively, small. Fresh up,. a fair average quan tity of horilt-groiVti Wheat eattib td hanki, Oaetvvio as well as by land carriage and sample, from Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, consequently the show of samples— in which, arising from the present seasonable weather, a great improvement was noticed; was, on the whole good. . Ilaving a large nun:Wet tif bilyets In attendance, a slight,: improvement was noticed in the demand for all kinds Ot . English Wheat. The best kinds were held at somewhat , more money, but the general value of that description of ' produce remained about stationary, at which a good clearance was effected. On a comparison of quality, the quotations were more ilk favour of the growers. There was only a moderate quantity of fine foreign Wheat on offer. Waders, as for some time past, were very few, and would net sell except at very full cur rencies, which were paid in the fear . transactions re ported. In Corn under lock very little was doing, yet the prices were quite as high as last week. Notwithstanding the great increase - in the supplies of Barley, both English and foreign,; that article, especially the best malting. kinds, was in better request, but we can notice no alteration in the quotations. Nearly the ' whole of the. late arrivals from abroad have been. entered for home consumption at the -3s.' duty. The quantity of Malt • brought for ward was small. In Chevalier qualities a fair busi ness was doing, but all other kinds were very dull. The supply of Oats was again limited. As most of the large dealers, are short of stock, the best potatoe parcels as, indeed, • most.other,kinds, Were in ready request, at a trifle more money. Otir Irish fetters state that the shippers in.ireland are still demanding, extreme rates. Beans and Peas,. the supplies of which were moderate, moved off sleWly at previous currencies. The Flour trade was heavy, at the late decline, in value. Linseed and Rape cakes were in active request:: In seeds next to !lathing 'Web-lashing. CURB CY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The cases put down for hearing this morning were a' of the - most uninteresting character. , sAirrlirszzah U the . — grfat-Christmas market will be held on Mon day'neXt, elltiotity,Was tnahifested by gratiets and butchers to ascertain the - 1111/ity of_the stock exhi bited for sale to-day, by way of a criterion to regulate their future transactions ; but with the exception of there being a few well made-up Devons, Soots, and Itunte amongst the Bullock .supply, a very great and almost unprecedented deficiency of quality was apparent ; in fact, at least a moiety of it was less than halt fat. From the numerous attendance of butchers, and the near approach of Christmas, we were led to ex pect an improved demand ; but such was not the case ; still, however, the priciest Beef wto ih good:request, at fully last week's quotations, viz., from 4s to 4s 4d per 81bs ; but in all other kinds exceedingly little was doing, and ,in some instances, the rates had a downward tendency. The imports of live stock from abroad during the past week have been again liberal, they having amounted to 105 Oxen and Cows, and 60 Sheep at Hull ; and 93 Beasts, together with 163 sheep into London, the whole being from Rotterdam by steamers. The supply on show to-day consisted of 44 Oxen and Cows, and 104 Sheep. With respect to quality of the former, we may observe that it eXhibited a slight improvement compared with previous importations, while the latter were in excellent condition. The Beasts found purchasers at from 161 to 191, and the Sheep from 39s to44s per. head. We find that the foreign Beasts are still in good favour amongst the butchers, while the Sheep are somewhat eagerly sought after. The bullock droves from our northern grazing dis trictsconsisted of about 1,800 short horns. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgshire - we received 380 Scots, &c.; from the Western and Midland counties, 600 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ' • from Scotland, 200 horned and polled Scots, and from Ireland, via Liverpool, 40 Beasts—the remainder of the supply being derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The supply of Sheep was somewhat on the increase, and of fair aver age quality. Prime old Downs were in good request at full prices ; but all other kinds were with difficulty disposed of at late rates. In Calves exceedingly little was doing, at previous currencies. We had on offer 144 Pigs, by sea, from Ireland. All descriptions of Pork were heavy, yet prices were supported. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY ) .robs Williams, a very powerful young man, was placed at the bar on the following Charge Police-constable, No. 36 of the A division, stated that between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty in Pall-mall in plain clothes, and saw the pri soner accost several gentlemen and solicit alms of them, and to the last one he heard the prisoner say in a menacing manner, " ll—n y our eyes, give u s some money, for I must h ave some . ' Witness directly seized him, but he broke from his grasp and commenced a most furious attack upon him. He also struck a gentleman who was standing by, and he "afterwards repeatedly as saulted another constable who was assisting in secur ing him. Mr. HARDWICK said this was a new feature in mendicant audacity, and closely approached to inducing persons to give al ms by threats of vio!ence. If suc h things were permitted the public would not be able to walk the streets in safety. He wished it to go forth that all such offenders would be punished with the utmost severity; and, as an instance of it in the present case, he should commit the prisoner for three mouths to hard labour. • Per Bibs. to sink the oftaL s. d. to s. d. s. d. to s. d.

Full average supplies of Potatoes, have arrived at the water-side coastwise during the week; while the imports from abroad have consisted of about ninety tons, the whole of very inferior quality. The demand for most kinds is steady at our Quotations. • WOOL MARKET. All kinds of foreign and colonial Wools have been in improved inquiry since this day se'nnight, and prices have been steadily supported. English Wool is also in better request, but we can notice no alteration in the quotations. The insports for the last week have been -333 bales from Seville, 100 from ilamburgh, 10 from Calcutta, and 385 from Odessa. TALLOW. There is no alteration to notice . ip prices again this week. The demand has been a little better, and is now expected to continue so, therefore no further decline is anticipated for the present. Home Tallow is not quite so abundant : the nett price is 415.

The adeices received from the United' States this morning by the mercantile interests are of importance in this respect; they state that a good market existed for British manufactures. Money in consequence Was more in demand, The state of the public treasury is represented as being of a more flourishing character. In Pennsylvania too the receipts of the States had improved Most sanguinely it is to be hoped that the people of the State will come forward and pay their debs. If so, the other repudiating States of America would be compelled to follow the good example ; and thus several of the " stars" of the Republie would recover that " bril liancy" which honesty is so well deserving of. In the Canadian papers, which have come to hand by the Montezuma, there is not any news of interest, except that the elections had ended in favour of the Government. With respect to the Canadian Guaranteed Loan, the biddings for which were received on Friday last, nothing is at present known. It is stated this morning that the tenders were all below the minimum value fixed for the 200,0001., at which it would be granted by the Treasury. A very strong interest is expressed in the City in favour of lines of railways for extending intercommuni cation in Ireland. Confidence in such undertakings is rapidly on the increase among our capitalists, as affording an additional means of beneficially employing their surplus capital. A shade of depression has existed in the Consol market this morning. For the Account the prices have recently been given at par, and for the Reduced Three Three per Cents. at one half per cent. higher. The . New Three per Cetits. have been at 1021 to 103. Exchequer Bills have rallied from 555. to 58s. premium, About six months back they were at 765. to 775. premium. The Commissioners bought about 10,000/. of the Three-and a-Querter per Cents...to-day, at three per cent. above par. A rise in India Rohde; from 735. to 78s. premium, has taken plaee. Bank Stuck has riser' from 208 to 208 f. This is the day for the biddings to be - made for the French loan, at Paris, and much curiosity is expressed to learn the result. There is a report current that the Messrs. Rothschild and the Messrs. Baring and Co. are now the only coeapetitors, As the payments are to be extended over a lung period, the scrip will in all probability be dealt in considerably. The Belgian Scrip has advanced to 1 premium. But one or two bar gains have been made in the Spanish Funds to-day. The Five per Cents. are at 245, and the Three per Cents. at 365. Dutch Stock is in demand. Brazilian have ad vanced to 88} ; Colombian Stock is firm at 145 ; and the Mexican at 36k. The inquiries for shares have been vary numerous all the morning, and in most eases prices have advanced. The Great Western Railway has reached 72 preen ; the Hull and Selby, 17 prem.; London and 13rignton, par (the highest point realised for a very Lung time); and the French lines are looking firm. British North American Bank Shares have been sold at 5 dis. ; Lon don and Westminster at 6} prem. ; and Provincial of Ireland at 19k prem. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The complainant took the prisoner home after her ac quittal at• the above sessiors,' and the former being obliged to leave home for a short time, when she re turned she found the prisoner had decamped with the above property. She was taken shortly afterwards, and it, was found she had pledged the olothes at a pawn broker's shop. The MAGISTRATE committed the prisoner for trial, ob serving that the lenity extended to her at the sessions appeared to have had no effect in correcting her pro pensity for theft. • CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.) Two bricklayer's labourers, named Boleyn and Bandey, were charged with assaulting and threatening a publican named Roccliffe. The assault, which was of a very trifling nature, was proved against Boleyn, an d it appeare d t h at the landlord struck Boleyn a very severe blow on the eye. As both prisoners, however, threatened the complainant's life, they were bound over to keep the peace. • The case drew from Mr. GREENWOOD, the sitting ma gistrate, the following important observations :—lt was clear that the present case sprung from a system the most pernicious and destructive of the co m f or t of the families of the poor, The payment of labourers by their masters at public-houses.

The price of corn again fell in Wednesday's market at Brussels. This tendency to decline, which has lately talen place in the markets of the country, is.attributed to the large importation of corn from abroad.

The 111 millions delivered produced a gross receipt of 41,569,200 francs. The Post-office distributed also above sixty millions of printed papers, &c., which yielded a receipt of 2,400,000 franca. BRUSSELS, DEC. 6.—We learn from Waterloo that the house of the keeper of the Monument has been de stroyed by fire; it was the property of the Government, and was worth 6,000 francs. The furniture, &c., de stroyed was worth 1,200 francs. The debates on the budgets almost always produce, from the chiefs of the several departments, premises of amelioration, which it is as . well to notice, in order to call to mind when opportunity offers. In the discussion of the budget of the finance department, a great deal was said of the necessity of organising, in a definitive manner, the services of the several ministerial departments. The central section had already expressed its wishes on this point. The Minister of Finance said, that he should shortly present to the King. a plan for the general organisation of his department. To a question of M. Osy, M. Mercier replied that he was persuaded that his colleagues intended likewise to submit similar plans for their respective departments to the King. 1111SLGIAN FUNDS.—Bavams, Dr.c. O.

The accident steins to have occurred owing to some boards hating been placed on the top of the chininey.to prevent it from smoking, and the collected soot thereon became ignited. The greatest anxiety was evirced for the safety of the splendid collection of paintings in the rooms immediately underneath the conflagration.

On Thursday morning last the premises of Mr. Peachy, of Beck-row, Milden• hall, were discovered to be on fire, and, in spite of every posiible assistance which could be rendered, the home stall, barn, stables, outhouses, stacks of corn, &c., were reduced to ashes. One hundred pounds' reward has been offered for the discovery of the incendiary. Mr. Peachy is fortunately insured in the Norwich 'Union.
