LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1345. The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. Mutual explanations took place between the Marquis of NORMANBY and Lord STANLEY on the subject of the Irish Constabulary. The Sugar Duties Bill pas zed through Committee, and after the presentation of a number of petitions, their Lordships adjourned to Friday. The House of Commons met at Four. After the transaction of private business, Mr. Hcrr gave notice that on Monday he should pre sent a petition from the Legislative Council of New South Wales, praying that that colony might be put upon the same footing as Canada, as regarded the importation of corn into this country. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice of a motion respecting the condition of the labouring classes for that day fortnight. Mr. T. DuNc9NBE moved for Dace to bring in a Bill to secure the inviolability of lett , rs passing through the. Post-office. _ _ The motion, which Was seconded by Dr. BovritiNG, was oppo;edhy Sir J...GBA.I4Amp who, in the course of his ra i sed; state-tiat as received no &115W,62' to. the inquiries which he had instituted, for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of the charges which had been brought against M. MAZZINI, but that, as soon as those inquiries were completed, he wculd state the result to the House. Lord J. RUSSELL was ready to impose restrictions on the power possessed by Government of opening letters, so as to prevent letters being opened at the request of a Foreign Government, but he was not willing to do away with the power altogether. Mr. WARECTRTON considered the continuance of the power useless and unnecessary. Lord Howica supported the motion. The present system was a system of falsehood countenanced, recog nised, and legalised by Government. After a few words from Mr. HustE, in support of the motion, and Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, the House divided, when there appeared, for the motion, 78 ; against it, 161— majority against it, 83. Mr. MACKINNON then called the attention of the House to the report of the Committee and of the Commissioners on the Health of Towns, and moved the f llowing resolution:—" That it is the opinion of this House that it is inexpedient that interments within the precincts of this metropolis and large towns should be continued, both as being injurious to the health of the people, and as being contrary to public decency." Mr. HUME 6ecouded the motion, which was opposed by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, on the part of the Govern ment. Atter a lengthened discussion, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE proposed the following amendment, which was se conded by Dr. BOWFIN°, " That the practice of inter ments within the precincts of the metropolis and large cities is injurious to the health of the population and dematids the serious attention of Parliament." Mr. MACKINNON was perfectl satisfied with this amendment, and withdrew the original motion in its favour. Sir R. INGLIS hoped that in any alteration which might be made, due regard would be had to the interests of the Clergy. After a few words frem Sir G. GREY, Sir J. GRAHAM advised the House not to proceed in this matter by resolution, and announcFd his intention on the pat t of the Government of opposing Mr. T. DUN - COMBE'S amendment, as well as the original motion. The House then divided, when there appeared—for the amendment, 66 ; against it, 49 ; majority against the Government, 17. Loud cheering followed the announce ment of the numbers. Mr. M. GIBSON moved, " That an humble address be presented . to her Majesty, to the effect that it was the opinion of the House that it was desirable to obta.n in formation regarding the amount of acres in cultivation in the United Kingdom—the amount of agricultural pro duce, with a specification of the various kinds, and such other information as might enable the House to arrive at a correct estimate of the cap:tbilities of the United Kingdom." Sir G. CLERK was willing to give the information re quired, but he hoped that on the present occasion the Hon. Gentleman would withdraw his motion. A short discussion ensued, in which Mr. AGLIONBY Mr. CHRISTOPHER, Mr. WARBURTON, Mr. DARBY, Mr. F. BARING, Mr. GLADSTONE, Sir R. PEEL, and other Hon. Members took part, all of whom admitted that the subj Pct was one of great importance. Ultimately the motion was withdrawn, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House ad journed at Twelve o'clock. The very brief interlude which was performed on Monday night last in the House of Commons, entitled "Scotch and Irish Banks," was confined to a single scene. The whole " business" of that scene (we believe we correctly employ the theatrical jargon of the day) consisted of two question to Sir ROBERT PEEL and half an answer from that Minister, than whom no man has ever contrived to compress more mystic meaning into a shake of the head since the Lord Burleigh of the . play. Now the " nothing" which Sir ROBERT had to utter was most effectively insinuated. His dumb show is ' really mere eloquent than his declamation; but that dumb show should now succeed to declamation so fierce, and confident, and overbearing, as that in which the Premier has up to this time indulged in denouncing the small- note currency of Scotland and Ireland, is the most striking part of the performance. Let us see how this affair came off. Mr. BOUVERIE requested the Premier to have the goodness to state—first, when he meant to bring forward his motion relative to the assimilation of the Scotch and Irish currency to that established in England? and, secondly, what the nature and details of :hat measure would be? Sir ROBERT answered that, from the pressure of other " and more important business," it was impossible for him to name any particular day on which he could undertake to bring the subject under the consideration of the House." Amazing' Why, he has over and over again warned, assured, and wearied the House by insisting that, in effect, the permanency of public credit arid the main tenance of the national prosperity and power were indis solubly connected with the concurrence of the Legii, lature in this notable scheme of his for interferingwith the career of Scotland's prosperity and the reviving hopes of Ireland's industry. He was loftily superior to all intercessions—at the close of last session and the commencement of this—for a little delay ; for recon sideration of his projects ; for better and fairer oppor tunities the vast interests that would be compromise d by his perverse experiments on this small note circula tion of two integral portions of the empire, to devise some means of mitigating, at least, if they could not avert, the visitation he so pertinaciously threatened. He replied with haughtiness, almost with impatience, that the question had been maturely considered by her Ma jesty's Ministers ; that they felt themselves pledged to give this complement to the measures which Parliament had passed in 1819, 1822, and 1844 for the better regulation of the currency of England. The measures they had prepared for Scotland, and contemplated for Ireland, to carry out and assimilate the currency in all three countries must be brought for ward without loss of time, and become law. What is the " change" that has since " came o'er the spirit of his dream?" Does MALAGROWTHER'S spirit stil walk the earth, and meet him at the witching hour, as he dis mounts from his carriage at the portal of his house Whitehall-gardens? Is it that he dreads the contagious example of a " league" of the Scottish hankers, or the great mercantile and trading community of England, who are so turbulently averse to being any longer text d to the teeth by; his high currency tariff ? Is he at last awaking to the bitter remonstrances of that immense section of the people, our industrial classes, whona;.his monetary tamperings have mulcted on the one hand of from thitty to forty per cunt. of their just wages, and burdened with from sixteen to seventeen millions of in .direct taxation which it was the purpose and desire of the Legislature that imposed it to raise from the wealthier consumer, not the needy artisan-producer, or latnishit.g husbandry labourer ? Better late than never, even if all this be so If Sir R. PEEL be disposed to lists n, even at this twelfth hour, to the voice of reason and the counsels of experience, and the protests of practical intelligence and knowledge as to the baneful opt-ration of that scheme with which he has contrived to work so vast an amount of mischief and misery to England, if it should ever be extended to Ireland, and especially to Scotland ; we can compound with him for the offences he has persisted in during all the other eleven hours. But how is this ? Is there really " other business and more important" to engross his attention ? Has he brought himself to speak slightingly of the prior and paramount claims of the currency upon all his facul ties and invention ? Why—this was the first love of his public life ; the primal passion of his senatorial ad )- lescence ; and now he turns round upon her (the same, but no longer the darling, currency of his earlier career), and snubs her with no mare compunction than if she were a mere Conservative agriculturist—a country pro tectionist—a discarded bore of a county supporter, haunting him behind the Treasury Bench and at the Carlton Club, in the unchanging consistency of a blue coat, yellow buttons, and leather unmentionables. Does he mean to "cut " currency ? If he do not, we predict that ere long currency will cut him. The connexion be tween them cannot be maintained on the gold standard footing upon which alone he is pledged to maintain it one year after the friendly relations of Great Britain with any of the more important foreign Powers shall have been disrupted. Let him in good time, then, cancel the " deed of settlement" he has executed, and prepare another, more prudent and equitable, in its stead.

B ut Sir ROBERT ' dumb. Another question was called, and thus he broke from his persecutors. Can the fact be, that he is con vinced of the fallacy of his golden balance scale of 1819, and would gladly rectify it, but that not to extend its mischievous application to Scotland and Ireland would be to have invidiously and exclusively pr. judiced Eng land by his act ? If this be the dilemma in which he finds himself, there is an easy mode of extricating him self from it, and the more easy, becauss it is also the only one he could adept for such a purpose. Let him, 14sai,-prc , pc%so the d h Dila 1619, and its complement of the other day as to England and Wales, and discharge his notice of motion for leave to bring in any similar measure at, all for Scotland or Ireland. He would find his bands strengthened, and his position con firmed by such a proceeding. It will be seen from what occurred in the House last evening, that Sir ROBERT PEEL has at last spoken on the subject, and that he will give an answer in the course of a month. Madrid journals, of the Ist have been received. On that day the Bill for the restoration of unsold Church property passed the Senate 1)37 a majority of 76 to 4. The Clamor Public() states that the Duke DE RIANZARES (husband of the QUEEN. MOTHER) had been created a Grand Cross of the Order of Charles 111., and that he has left Madrid for Tarancon, his native place, where he is preparing to build a magnificent palace. Nearly all the persons lately arrested for an alleged conspiracy had been set at liberty. According to the Espectador, the POPE proposes marrying Queen ISABELLA to the Prince of Lucca, and her sister, the Infanta Donna LUISA, to the Count DE TRAPANI. The Three per Cents. closed at 344 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 7-16 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 8i at 60 days. The Paris papers give a brief outline of the speeches in both Houses of Parliament on Friday, relative to the Oregon qu( stion, but generally without comment. The National of course could not let such an occurrence pass without showing its hostility to England. "It is evi dent," says that paptr, " that the formal doclaration made by Mr. POLK, to maintain the incontestable right of the United States to the disputed territ Jry seriously alarms the English Ministers, and that they in turn wish to fright' n America by menacing language." The pro ceedings in the French Chambers on Monday possess little interest. The accounts from Sv.itzerlaad furnish some addi tional particulars of the killed, wounded, and prisoners, in the engagement before Lucerne. A Berne letier of the 3d states that among the persons killed were the commander-in-chief of tt.e expedition, M. OCHSENBEIN. of Berne, employed in the police, and member of toe Swiss Committee which directed the movement, and M Fumt, bother of the President of the Appeal Court of Berne, who took two cannon from Nidan. in spite of the opposition of the Prefect and the Executive Council, and many other officers. Among the prisoners are Dr. STEGER, President of the Committee of the Lucerne refugees, and Colonel ROTHPIETZ, Commander of the Zofinguen column. The auxiliaries of the canton of Schwytz did not arrive at Lucerne till the evening of the Ist, when it was too late for them to take any part in the battle. They amounted to 2,000 men. The Grand Council of Lucerne had assembled to hear the report on the late events, and to take into consideration a decree fur granting an amnesty, which had been rc- ['erred to a Committee. The Lucernese who were wounded in the late conflicts have been conveyed to the civic hospitals. The booty taken from the enemy had been carried in triumph through the city of Lucerne. According to a letter in the Conaitutionnel, from Zurich, of the 3d inst., the Liberal party have bden completely- triumphant at the late election of Councillor=. " All the men that the re-action of 1 -39 had placed aside returned to power, which proves that the canton of Zurich, in the critical eircumstaz.ces in which the country happens to be placed, will not separate from the p.,licy of Berne, which had no adversaries more intract able than the Conservatives of Zurich."

The Stock Market closes with little animation this week at the reduced quotations in the report of sales. The causes which have left to this change from last week are chiefly the agitation of the Texas affair, in relation to which there is still so much uncertainty. As usual in this market, fancy stocks have been the chief sufferers, while sound stocks have been comparatively unchanged. In sound stocks for the past, week there has been no decline of any account, nor could any mount of sound stocks be bought at any reduction on the Hill prices of the past year. In fancy st tcks another state of things is seen. and a reduction of prices is daily acceded to, amounting in the past week to 1 1 / 1 to 61 / i per cent. on the list of active fancy stocks. Illinois 6's have fallen 1% in the face of the favourable action of their Legislature; S:ouington, Iy 4 ; Morris Canal, 2 ; Farmers' Loan, 2 3 / i ; Long Island, 3 3 / 4 ; Norwich and Worcester, atiA ; and Canton, ; other fancies have receded, but this list comprises all the most ac tive fancies.

His Lordship was occupied the whole morning with the further arguments in this part-heard case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chan llor Knight Bruce, and the question in which related to the infringement of a patent for making tea-pots. ROLLS COUR THIS DAY.) His Lordship the Master of the Rolls was occupied the whole morning with causes of no gener,l interest. VICE-CHANCIAtI.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with exceptions and further directions. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRA3I.) His Honour took causes to-day, but they possessed points interesting only to the parties concerned. COURT OFREN' lEW—(THIS DA Y.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce sat to-day as Chief Judge in Bankrn:rtcy, arid before twelve o'clock: he disposed of all the,bankrupt petitions on his paper except one, in which it was stated that the affidavits were not ready. His Honour then left the court, but upon its being intimated to him some time afterwards, that the parties were prepared, he consented to hear the case in his private room. The case presented no feature of interest. JUDGE'S C HAMBERS-( T HIS DAY (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) THE ST. GILES'S MCRDEE.—Shortly after Mr. Baron Rolfe came to Chambers, Mr. Wakley, M.P., the Coroner for Middlesex, went before his Lordship for the purpose of op plying for a habeas corpus, to be directed to the Sheriffs and the Governor of Newgate, to bring the body of Joseph Connor, who stands committed for the murder of Mary Brothers, in St. Giles's. It will be recollected that on the adjourned inquest, held on Saturday, both the Coroner and jury refused to proceed with the inquiry unless the prisoner was before them ; and the Coroner then declared his deter mination to apply for a habeas. The Learned JUDGE observed that he was not aware that a habeas corpus had ever been granted in such a case. From what had occurred, it appeared that a person had been exa mined before a magistrate on a charge of murder, and upon the evidence adduced he had been committed for trial ; and the authorities were bound to keep him in sate custody until a gaol delivery took place. He (Mr. Baron Rolfe) was satis fied that the judges had no power to grant a habeas, and it was right they should not, for it was impossible to say what abuse of power might be made if a habeas could be granted; persons in custody for very serious offences might even escape from justice if they could be brought out of a prison on a writ of habeas corpus The Coroner contended that the accused ought to be bro. , ght bet;we the Coroner's Court, and observed in that opinion the Secretary of State fully agreed. The Learned JUDGE remarked, that if the prisoner bad been improperly committed then some such an application might be made, but nothing of that sot t was attempted to be shown. Looking at the whole of the case, he felt bound to refuse the application. Mr. \Vakley then retired. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY POST-OFFICE ( Y.—Edward Spicer, a mail guard. Before ROBBERY. --Edward Justice CoirmAN.) was indicted for stealing a post letter containing one brace let, one brooch, one ring, and other articles, value 20/. the propel ty of the Postmaster-General. He was also charged with stealing a post letter containing two bank notes and moneys, the property of : he Postmaster-General.. The Solicitor .General and Mr. Adolphus appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence of the priioner. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opened the case by detailing the facts, which will be more fully proved in the evidence. Several clerks from the Post-office were called to prove that a letter addressed Mrs. Ludlam, Charmouth, Dorset, was posted on the night of the 18th Jan., and after wards sealed and delivered into the custody of the prisoner, who was the guard in charge It was further proved that the letter did not arrive at its desti nation next day, and that one of the notes was traced to the residence of the brother•in-law, who accounted for its pos session by saying that the prisoner had given it to him for change. When the prisoner was taken into custody he ac counted for the fact of the note being in his possession by saying that ten sovereigns were given by him in change for the ten-pound note at the Southampton temminus. A con stable was afterwards sent to the prisoner's house, • at Southampton, and the missing note for 5/ was fount there. The prisoner accounted for it by saying that he had received it from the same person who had given him the other. After some further evidence, the Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was then arraigned upon the first charge, but on the advice of his counsel, pleaded Guilty. The sen tences were in both cases deferred. Nhtv o)unT.

Her dates of departure are— From Tampico, February 24 • Vera Cruz, March 3 ; Havannah, 12th ; Nassau, 14th ; and Bermuda, 23d. The Teviot brings home the following freight :- 1,557.017 dollars, only 15,u00 of which are on account of the Mexican dividends ; a very large shipmvnt may how ever, be expected by the next packet ; 78q oz. specie ; 78 doubloons; 214 oz. gold dust ; 40 seroos cochineal; 16 bales jalapa; and about 30 fine turtle on. consignment. Th Ja tnaica papers brought by this vessel contain no news of any particular interest. RIVER STEAM-BOATS —Another of those ripid steam-boats, for which the Thames is so noted, has been added to the list of those already afloat and plying for the accommodation of the public. She is one of the vessels be longing to the Woolwich Waterinen's Company (N.). 13). and is in every way equal, if not superior, to the fastest of their boats, from go. 1 to No. 12 . She was tried yesterday and found to answer remarkably well, passing ev e ry b o at w i t h which she entered into competition. She is one of Messrs Ditcliburn and Mare's constiuction, and, like the others built by this firm for the Watermen's Company, is of iron, but :s of greater length than any previously constructed. Her engines are by Messrs. Penn, and are upon the same principle as those constructed for the Fairy, the tender to her Ma jesty's Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, but are by no means so powerful, as thirse of the Fairy are 120, while these are but of 32 horse- power.

Teed, Mr. Waymouth, Mr. Cochrane; and ethos of .the Vice- Presidents and Committee. There were about eighty members and visitors at the table, which was admirably s erved, and the dinner and wines Cully sustained the reputa tion of Mr. Neal, the proprietor and conductor of the hotel attached to, the Institute. Several excellent speeches were delivered by the Pre-ident and others, and the pleasure of the evening was much increased by some delightful vocal and instrumental music, including glees, duets, rounds, &c., in which Mr. T. Cooke, Mr. Francis; Mr. Machin, Mr. G•-at tan Cooke, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Miihlenfelt, and Mr. Kreutzer took parts.

There was to have been a grand dinner at Montagu House in the evening, at which the Queen and Prince Consort were to have been present.

DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT RUINS. Yesterday, wiiie some workmen where employed in excavating the street near the corner of Drury-lane and Long- acre, for the pur pose of making a sewer, they discovered, at the depth of nearly fourteen feet, a portion attic foundation of an ancient building, of great thickness, which required the use of powder to break it up. It ran in the direction from north to south, and is supposed to be some part the foundation ot the old convent which formerly stood near the present Drury lane and Covent. garden Theatres. The foundation is composed of red brick, c..ncrete, and flint stones. FooT R Acn.—Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, this long-pending race for 51. a-side came off in the Kemsington-road. between George Brady, a baker, of ' L on don, and James Lees, of Knightsbridge, a smith. The di s tance was one mile. After two or three false starts, they at last went to work in earne,t, Lees g ,, t t they lead at the commencement, which lie kept tiir ; : a n e: ti me ; but ?it lcat ; ;t ii Brady - made a desperate eff)rt to get ahei.,t, and by the greatest exertion succeeded in pa-ring his antagenist, main taining his advantage, and ultimately coming m a winner.

We have received by the packet ship Montezuma, which arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday, New York papers to the 18th of March, twelve days later. Their contents are not important. The National Intelliyencer states that the ful- towing appointments have been made by the Presidmt, with the consent of the Senate : "-James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, to be Secretary of State; Robert J. Walker, of Mississipi, to be Secretary of the Treasury; W. L. Marcy, of New York, to be Secretary of War; George Bancroft, of Massachusetts, to be Secretary of the Navy; Cave Johnson, of Tennessee, to be Postmaster- General ; John Y. Mason, of Virginia, to be Attorney-Gene ral; Alexander H. Everett, of Massachusetts, to be Commis sioner to China ; Benjamin G. Shields, of Alabama, to be Charge to Venezuela; William H. Polk, of Tennessee, to be Chargé to Naples; Albert G. Jewett, of Maine, to be Chargé to be Peru ; Robert Armstrong, of Tennessee, to be Consul at Liverpool." From the statements in the papers, it appears that Gene ral Almonte, the Mexican Minister, had sent Into the new Executive a strong protest against the annexation of Texas, which he tern.s an " unparalleled outrage." The papers publish a letter of Mr. Cushing, giving his views on the present position of the United States and Mexico, growing out of the annexation question. According to this gentleman's opinion, it is improbable that any difficul ties will spring from the resolutions passed by the last Con gress. Ile thinks that Mexico is in no position to make war against the United States, when she was unable to carry on an offensive war with Texas alone. The New York Herald thus notices the condition of some of the delinquent States : " Within the past week or two several Legislatures have adjourned. The Legislature of Illinois adjourned on the Ist inst. During the session several important Bills connected with the State finances were passed. The most important one was that in relation to the payment of part of the interest on the State debt, which secures the canal loan of 81,600 0 0, insures the completion of the canal connecting Inc waters of the Mississippi with those of Lake Michigan ut Chicago, and provides for the resumption of payment of part of the an nual interest on the State debt, gradually increasing the per cent., until the full interest is paid annually. Illinois can, in fact, no longer be considered a delinquent State, although the resumption of payment is not complete, but the State can take a place between the delinquent and solvent , States. "The Legislature of Maryland adjourned on the 12th inst. During the session several Acts and amendments to Acts were paased providing revenue to pay the interest on the public debt of the State. A Bill was introduced setting a time, the Ist of July, to resume the payment of interest of the State debt, and another to fund the interest in arrear to .the Ist of April next, at 5 per cent., but neither paased. Had the Legislature remained in session a few-days longer, we have no doubt both these Bills would have become laws, but the constitution of the State compels an adjournment at a certain time, and all unfinished business is consequently abandoned. "The Legislature of Pennsylvania are still in session. The Appropriation Bill, providing for the payment of the interest due in August and the expenses of the common wealth, is still under consideration in the Lower House ; it will probably pass, amended, so that whatever funds may be in the Treasury on the Ist of August unappropriated, will be appropriated to the payment of the interest then due." Foreign Exchange was flat: sterling, at 109% to 109%; francs, 5-25. _ _ _ The New York Courier and Inquirer says, relative to the Oregon : " Dr. White, who has recently removed to Oregon, writes to his friends near Ithaca, that a colony is rapidly settling at the falls of the Willamette, where Oregon city has been founded, containing a population of several hundreds, four stores, three saw-mills, and two flour-mills, one of which has five run of stone, and cost 15,000 dollars. They have a re gular colonial form of government, five counties being repre sented by thirteen Members. The Legislature had just closed a session of eight days, during which twenty-five Bills were passed. Dr. White, though not a Member, by paying 10 dollars, purchased the privilege of speaking upon one of them, proposing to abolish the manufacture, introduction, or sale of ardent spirits into the territory. It passed unanimously and became a law. Everything is prosperous; the crops are good, and Dr. White expresses the belief that the region on the Willi mette is one of the most healthy, delightful, and pro mising regions on the globe." The Canadian intelligence by this arrival is unimportant. The Housesof Legislature had presented addresses of congra tulation to the Governor-General upon his elevation to the Peerage. The Mexican advices, Vera Cruz, to the Ist ult., state that everything was quiet. Santa Anna was still a prisoner in the Castle of Perote, and the general opinion was that he would neither be put to death nor banished, but would be imprisoned for the remain der of his life. Generals Bassedre and Canalizo, Santa Anna's principal minions, had been removed to the fortress of ch a . pultepec. The Texas question was still agitated in many of the Mexican papers, the editors appearing to oppose the right of the United States to annex that country as strongly as ever. CO MAI E EICIAL. The week has closed with some improvement in business, and with more favourable appearances. The season for tea has opened ; two cargoes have been brought forward this week at auction, and the market has been fairly tried. The result has boen a decided improvement in prices over the closing transactions of last week. Cotton seems to have had a reaction. The receipts in the early part of the week were so large that many of the holders preferred selling from the vessel, and the consequence was that prices fell off a little. The market, however, hss since rallied, and is again firm, and prices have gone up to the old mark. There has been quite a movement in sugar and molasses; the crops in Cuba have ptuved so deficient that operators here hare turned their attention to New Oilcans. con sequence is, that speculation lea been at work this week in both sugars and molasses, and several thousand hogsheads have changed hands. There has been a decline in sterling bills of full half per cent. Bills on London are dull at 109 9 to Ityjy } .
