It is exceedingly edifying to see the entire House of Commons thrown into violent hysterics, as was the case the other night, by the conduct of an - Hon. Member, whose worst fault seems to be that ha is too apt to be carried away by his prejudices, and to. ! speak at random, without thought or premeditation. We have few or no sympathies with Mr. FERRAND his politics, generally speaking, are our aver sion ; we think him coarse —rude--rash —and inconsiderate to a degree ; but we do not believe him capable of such a crime as that of deliberately and maliciously slandering the fair fame of a public in dividual, merely because he may happen to be op posed to him in politics. That the Member for Knare - iborough has given just cause of offence to Sir JAM'S GRAI% sr and Mr. Boon, we are far from meaning to deny ; but the case is by no means so aggravated a one as the sensitive delicacy of these gen tlemen would induce us to believe it is, and we can find nothing in the vague, random, indiscreet charge, brought so unceremoniously against them by Mr. EURRAND, that at all justifies their fierce, though virtuous, resentment. The common sense of the House of Commons—a peculiar species of sense, by the bye, for which the Imperial Senate is by no means remarkable—has already decided, and warmly too, in their favour ; and there, we conceive, the matter should have been allowed to rest. As for the indignation of uninterested Members, which showed itself so fiercely on Tuesday night, we are at no loss to guess the cause in which it originated. Hon. Gentlemen were anxious to have the dullness of Parliamentary proceedings enlivened by the spectacle of a bear-bait ; they had promised themselves great fun from the exhibition, and the dogs were all ready for a set-to ; but unfortunately, just at the moment when expectation was raised to the highest pitch, the bear refused to allow himself to be tied to the stake, but giving a surly grin of defiance at the dogs, turned tail, and bolted! This naturally caused great disappointment among the lovers of sport, which vented itself in just such a storm of execrations as was levelled against the late Monsieur CIIABERT, the fire-eater, when he uncourteously declined allowing himself to be baked to death in an oven, merely to gratify the humane cu riosity of those who had paid their shillings to witness the pleasing spectacle. Mr. FERRAND has already been quite sufficiently roasted by the House of Commons —more especially by Messrs. GRAHAM, ROEBUCK, and HooG—and we think they may now rest satisfied with the agreeable conviction that they have done him to a turn, like a goose on a kitchen spit. As regards Sir ROBERT PEEL'S grave proposal of searching for precedents as to the Nay in which the House has been in - the habit of acting when Honour.; able Members happen to have made fools of themselves, never was there anything so sub.. limely and solemnly absurd! It reminds us of the awful gravity and business-like determination of purpose exhibited by Noodle in Tom Thumb, when he hears that Doodle has expressed himself irrave.. rently of that immaculate Ministerial functionary, Lord Grizzle. But, indeed,. the whole affair of Mr. FERRAND appears to us to abound in the elements of the richest farce, and we do not despair of seeing it shortly transferred to the boards' of the Hay market, under the apt title of ".Much Ado about Nothing; or, a Scene from -St. Stephen's." And three nights have actually teen wasted on this absurd matter, and at a period of the session, too, when every houi has its value! How much public businesi might have been got through within this space of time ! The great question of the Corn-law might have ben dis cussed and settled one way or other, for the season ; the Factory Regulation Bill, and the changes in the New Poor-law measure might have been decided upon ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer might have brought forward his Budget ; and the Premier might have talked his usual amount of solemn .sophistry on the subject of the Income-tax. In a few weeks, Ministers will—as they always do about a month or so after Easter—begin to pre face all their speeches with " at this late period of the session," &c., in justification of their favourite prac tice of shuffling off obnoxious measures; and yet we will venture to say not. one of them will take into consideration that they themselves have helped to trifle away the time of the House, by givingsuch undue prominence and importance to this absurd squabble between Messrs. FERRAND, GRAHAM, and HOGG. Perhaps no country in the world is in such a state of utter prostration as the Spanish Peninsula. Spain and Portugal appear to be lost to all sense of hon Our and patriotism. • They have now undergone an ordeal of some. thirty yeArs fur improving - their condition ; they have tried almost every kind of government, the representative, the purely monarchical, the des potic, and the radical, and under all these they have exhibited the same characteristic. features—restless ness, without an .object, and constant commotion without any result. The people, like the besotted Scvercigns that rule . them,.have become a bye-word among nations. :Though Portugal has been under the protection of England for more than two centuries, and has •had every • opportunity of assimilating her institutions to those Qf the country with which she has been so closely allied, she has not advanced one step in social improvement or in strength. Her national Cortes are regarded by the people as a mockery, her army is open to the highest bidder,' and at the present moment the small fortress of Almeida, under the command ofBONFIXT, denounced as a rebel, sets the QUE E N, the Government, and the army at defiance. Spain' is in a still more deplorable condi tion. In Portugal something like mercy is shown to men who, driven to despair, try to benefit their con dition, but under Queen CHRISTINA, NARVAEZ, BRAVO, and Co., butchery is the only instrument of government. Men even suspected of sedition—that is of defending their rights or imprOving the condition of the • country—are arrested, conducted to the presence of priests, and after due religious ceremonies are slaughtered like wild beasts. Every vestige of liberty is swept from that unfortunate country; :and, what is more laritentable, not a voice is raised in Spain against deeds which are regarded by other nations with horror. What can be done with such a people ? We have no wish to excuse the policy of Lours PHILIPPE towards Spain. He has taken advantage of her weakness, her madness, and her slavish propensities, and has established a despotism stronger than any, perhaps, that ever existed in that eountry, hut lie! is not entirely to blame. If the people, had been faithful .to themselves L—if they had shown anything like common patriotism, or resented, as most other nations would have done, the inter ference of a foreign Power, he would not have l i e e s k sitzs w to he stir up a S n i d )a t n r i e a harboured CHRISTINA at Paris, artdesd and encouraged M. ESPAkTERO. and slaves they have shown themselves. The ats l' s l l t ae s s vonian that has destroyed the Cortes and the Constitution, that has put down the national guards,- and abolished their municipal institutions, has been welcomed as a saviour; and though but two years since all were up in arms against the most constitutional 'and lib era l Go vernment ever known in Spain, not a voice is now raised against a system of despotism which has no equal in Europe. Reproaches have been cast on Lord Alma- DEEN fur t.tcilly admitting such interference. But what can the English Government, or any Govern- anent,. do with a nation which is regardless of its ho nour and its interests? We have enough to do with our own affairs, without 'attempting to raise up a fallen people, or make men free who are determined to be slaves. On Spaniards alone the blame rests. They have rfOoded the ail-of the only Power willing Now we complain that for a state of things which was almost morally sure to arise out of these " no torious and evident facts," no British authorities, civil or naval, had been sufficiently instructed by their. Government to be prepared. If there had been, the missionaries and other British residents who would have addressed it on the point, would never have com mitted themselves or this - country to two such docu ments. Commodore NICOLAS acted upon the im pulses so natural to a British sailor, in expressing his resentment at the bullying and insult offered by the French authorities to the defenceless -QUEEN in person. They set up a flag which he hauled down, and a few other vain exhibitions of feeling escaped him. But he soon proved the danger and difficulty of acting without orders, and therefore desisted. The French carried their point and realised their demands, not merely with impunity, but with the prestige derived from having done so despite this desultory and unauthorised opposition. The Earl of ABERDEEN, we must say, seems to have been be wildered by the affair from the first. His dispatches in this instance have the defect (very unusual in his papers) of being even illogical, at least when he writes by the hands of Mr. ADDINGTON. For the latter (letter to Sir JOHN Bannow, Secretary to the Admiralty, 11th July, 1843,) writes thus :—" It certainly would appear, from various reports received by her MAJESTY'S Government, respecting the trans actions which ended in the surrender by the Queen of TAHITI of a portion of her sovereign authority to the French Admiral, that that cession was brought about partly by intrigue, and partly by intimidation." Therefore, it would appear, " that this cession or surrender was NOT voluntary ;" yet Mr. ADDINGTON proceeds—" But the surrender WAS, notwithstanding, VOLUNTARILY made, and completed in due form, by Queen POHARE—under whatever impulsion she may have acted." That is as much as to say, "her will was constrained in part, and in part it was violated; but it was- her free will notwithstanding, however much violated, to whatever extent constrained." The logic is as unintelligible as the policy of Lord A BARDEEN'S office. In his letter of 13th March, 1843, Mr. Consul PRITCHARD thus writes to Lord ABERDEEN, from the British Consulate at Otaheite On my arrival, I found Queen Pomare about eight miles from this place, driven from her .proper residence by the continual threats made by the French to fire upon her. Under the protection of Commodore Nicolas, in her Yajesty's ship Vindictive, Queen Pomaro has returned to her own residence. Commodore Nicolas.and I have endeavoured to act in accordance With the repeated promises of assistance and protectiOn made by the British Government to Queen Pomare. Permit me to refer your Lordship to Mr. Can.. ning's letter, dated March 3, 1827, to the Jatn King of of Tahiti. "His Majesty, however, commands me to say, that although the customs of Europe forbid his acceding to your wishes in this respect (hoisting the British flag), he will be happy to afford to yourself and your dominions all such protection as his Majesty can grant to a friendly Power at so remote a distance from his own kingdom." Lord Palmerston'sdispatch of the 9th of September, 1841; is of similar import :—" You will assure Queen Pomare that her Majesty will at all times b e rea d y to attend to any representations that Queen Pomare may wish to make, and will always be glad to g i ve t h e pro tection of her good.offices-to Queen Pomare, in any dif ferences which may arise between Queen Pomare and any other Power.. - In your Lordship's instructions of July, 30, 1842„ the same sentiments are reiterated : Upon the occasion of your return to your post at Tahiti, .it will be,expedient 'that you should be able to prove to the:governing authorities in these islands, that her Ma-; jesty's Government continues to take that interest in their prosperity which has heretofore been professed." Lord AIIRRDEEN, in his dispatch of 25th September s in reply; rebukes Mr. PRITCHARD for having "alto gether misinterpreted these passages in the letters of Mr. CANNING and . Lord PALMERSTON ;" and justifies the non-interference of England in the matter, on the group(' of that illogical fallacy which wo have just exposed: and able to assist them, and they must be left to their fate. No apology will be expected by our readers for re ' newing our earnest appeal to their most serious atten tion, on the subject of our colonial policy. Without participating in the apprehensions expressed by more than one of our Contemporaries, and their correspon dents in Paris, that the Otaheite question—precipitated, as it has been, by the vapouring and coxcombry of the French naval commander, Rear-Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS—may yet be destined to involve this country in 'hostile collision with France, we must admit that the fast and loose tone of our own diplomatic corres pondence in the affair, and the "would and would not" character of the intervention—half demonstra tion, half menace—of our naval officers in those seas, have not been of a character to sustain the lofty in fluence of our national reputation, to vindicate our moral or political good faith, or t I uphold the unsullied dignity of the British flag. It is impossible to peruse the State Paper, entitled " Correspondence relative to the Society Islands, 1843, in continuation of papers in August that year, presented to both Houses, by command," at the beginning of the present session, without coming to two conclusions. The first, unhappily, is that poor Queen PoMARE has been utterly vi:timised, " through the influence of her own fears, and the intrigues of som e of her corrupt chiefs," (such are Lord ABER DEEN'S own words,) " in signing a deed so fatal to her independence" as that by which she placed herself under the protectorate of the King of the FRENCH. The second conclusion this correspondence irresistibly invites is, that the statesmanship exhibited by Lord ABERDEEN throughout the whole affair, subtequent to the date of Mr. Consul PRITCHARD'S first communi cation to him of the possession taken by the French of three of the Marquesas Islands, and Otaheite and Eimeo, of the Society Islands—was of the lowest pre tensions in point of tact or spirit. The first commu nication was dated " Sydney, New South Wales, Bth December, 1842: . On the 14th June, 1843, Lord ABERDEEN apprises Mr. PRITCHARD that our Go vernment "had already been informed of the pro ceedings of the French squadron under DUPETIT TuouAes at the Society Islands. Why then, may we ask, had not instructions been immediately there upon sent out to our Consul nearest to the scene of action as to the distinct course he ought to adopt in reference to such proceedings ? But Lord ABERDEEN first admits that the matter had been left to the chapter of accidents; and in the next place evidently labours to show, not so much that it was not our duty to interfere on behalf of the unhappy QUEEN, as that the French had so ably availed themselves of her sown act End deed, obtained in the absence of any friendly authority upon whose consideration and in tervention she could have thrown herself. He, therefore, intimates that our Government do not in tend to call the right assumed by the French into question. He also relies for a corroboration of this, his view of the subject, upon two documents which had been forwarded to him by M. GuizoT—the one being an address of congratulation and approval to the French Rear-Admiral on his recent proceedings, by the (British) ministers of the Protestant mission, in the isles of Otaheite and Moorea ; the other, a similar address of British inhabitants, residents at Otaheite. These two documents certainly enhance the difficulty of our Government ; for, as M. GbrzoT writes to the Count DE ROMAN CHABOT (11th September, 11143), they amount to an acquiesence on the part of our own resident subjects in the reality of those alleged grievances under which French shipping had laboured when visiting Otaheite, and which, as "faits notoires et widens," had called, imperatively, for "une energique intervention!" to Spain. The 'Three per Cents. closed on the 18th instan at 37i cash, 37i at 60 days; and the Fives at .22i at 60 days. The Courrier attributes the conduct of Prince AIETTEBNICII to his wish to avoid the close political connection with Russia which might be expected to arise from the marriage. "The Debuts states, from its Constantinople correspond ence, that the Porte has at last taken measure.; for sending troops against the Albanians, who continue to commit the greatest excesses in the provinces. A thousand men have been marched from Salonica to I.Transe, and two regiments have taken their departure from Constantinople. At Uscup, the Turkish Governor has seized fourteen of the rebels, and had their heads taken off in* the public streets. The child which was detained a short time ago in the harem of a Bey at Constantinople, and forcibly made a Mahomedan, has been delivered up to Sir Stratford Calming; and one of the Greek girls whom the Turks of Broussa constrained to abjure her religion, has been restored to the Patriarch. These reparations are the first fruits of the energetic reclamations of the repre sentatives ofFrance and England." TIIE BOURSE-WFDNgSDAY, -APRIL- 24. -* First Uighcst - Lowest Last • Price. Trice.

Resistance to those who have assumed the rights of pro tectors over her, would but aggravate the miseries of her position, and provoke even worse treatment than she has already received. The accounts from Madrid are to the 18th. Ac *cording to one of the Go:•ernment journals, the Castellano, reports of a marriage between the QUEEN and the eldest son of bon CARLOS were current in the capital, and generally believed. her MAJESTY, it was expected, would set out for Catalonia about the beginning, of May. It is said she is suffering under a scrofulous complaint, and that her medical attendants have recommended the use of sulphurous waters. On the 18th her MAJESTY, accompanied by her mother and sister, assisted at a solemn Te Deum, which the Knights of the Military Order of Alcantara caused to be sung in the Church of the Holy Sacra ment in honour of the return of the QUEEN MOTHER The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with debates in the two Chambers on education and improvement of prison discipline. The speakers in general display much statistical knowledge on these important sub jects, but, as the matters at issue are almost entirely exempt from the influence of political prejudices and popular excitement, the speeches excite little interest. On Tuesday Baron Ch mmts DUPIN made a speech in favour of the Government Bill on Education, de fended with much ability the course adopted by the Univenity, and showed that the outcry raised against it by the Church was entirely unfounded. "There were," said he, " four sources from which instruction might be obtained—the Royal colleges, the Communal colleges, private schools, and establishments where young men were prepared for the priesthood. The Royal colleges only contained 18,700 pupils, com prising amongst them 2,200 free pupils—certainly not too many for a population of 34,000,000 souls. The number formed in the three other kinds of establish ments amounted to upwards of 50,000. And yet, in the face of those figures, the University was accused of monopoly ? In. 1759, the number of pupils who received whole bourses or partial aid from the State was not less than 40,000, and at present the whole of the pupils receiving bourses or half-bourses were not more than 7,000. This difference undoubtedly did honour to the former period, and showed that all was not to be rejected in the ancient regime. In the present day, there were 43 departments with Royal colleges, and just as many without any ; so that, whilst accusations were made against the University for its grasping spirit, half the kingdom could not by any possibility be under its influence." In the Chamber of Deputies M. CARNOT opposed the Prison Bill, because he looked upon the confine ment of prisoners not so much in the light of punish= ment as a means of reformation; the silent system, would not effect that, and it had, in fact, been aban doned in several countries. M. DE BEAUMONT, though supporting the principle of the Bill, was op posed to absolute isolation. It had been tried in only one prison in America, and had not succeeded. The Bill only isolated prisoners from all vicious con tact; and there was nothing to prevent their receiving religious instruction whilst so confined. Looking to the question of mortality, the Hon. Deputy main tained that the prisoners held apart afforded fewer in stances of death than others. In the prisons of France the mortality, from 1839 to 1843, had been eight per cent., and in the prison of Fontevraud it had reached 12 per cent., whilst in the penitentiary of Pennsyl vania, where the solitary system was adopted, the deaths were only two per cent. He next alluded to the alleged cases of madness caused by solitary con finement, and declared that there was much exagge_ ration in what had been alleged. The debate was adjourned. At the same sitting M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the Interior, moved a vote of credit for 506,000 f., for the establishment of a new telegraphic line between Paris and Havre, and Boulogne and Avranches, so as to open with the capital a correspon dence with the entire coast of the Channel. The line will also communicate with Brest by Avranches. What a contrast this forms with the niggardly economy in this respect of the English Government, who grudge the expense of only one or two lines ! The Funds were still improving. On Wednesday the Five per Cents. closed at 122 f. 40c., and the Threes at 83f. 75c. The following are extracts from the papers : "The Constitutionnel says that Admiral Hamelin's depar ture has been countermanded, and that the Government is taking measures to stop the discontent Avhich the recal of M. Dupetit Thouars was creating in the marine. "The National Assembly of Greece,' before it separated, passed the Electoral Law. By this law, the provinces having a population of more than 10,000 are to elect one deputy; where the population exceeds 10,000, and does not reach 20,000, there are to be two deputies; for 20,000 up to 30,000, three ; and above 30,000, four. The Ipsariots are to choose three deputies, the Hydriotes three, and the Spezziots twa. Foreigners fixing their residences in Greece arc to be allowed to elect deputies, when they aro sufficiently numerous in a community to amount to one-half of th e m i n i mum fixed for the natives. The National Assembly has voted the erection of a statue at Napoli, in honour of I. 'ap° d'lstria." " The Courrier Francais says :—The negotiations for the marriage of the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia, with the Archduke Stephen, son of the Archduke Palatine, which were expected to be resumed by the Emperor Nicholas, at Vienna, are entirely broken oft, and . lie will not go t o th e A ustr i an capital. The Cabinet of Vienna attributes the rupture to re ligious scruples.'There is, in fact, a clause in the Austrian filially compact which formally interdicts, with ou t any pos sible exception, all mixed marriages by Princes of the Inipe nal House. 13itt Count Orloff, in virtue of full powers to tnat effect, having declared that there w ou ld b e no obstacle to the ' voun , Princess becoming a Boma n C atholic after her mar riage, it was thought that Prince :Aletternich would n ot ven ture to resist ; but his genius, fertile in expedients, found an other means of relieving himself from th e em b arrassment, and invoked the above - mentioned clause as indispensably requiring that the Princess should change her religion before the marriage could be solemnised : On referring to the Cour. of St. Petersburgb, Count Orloff received orders to break o, the negotiations."

(Sittings in Banco ) The Court took the Special Paper to-day, and was engaged the whole of the morning in hearing arguments in cases pos sessing no feature of the least public interest. BAIL C.OURT.-(THIS DAY). (Befora Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) IN RE WALKER. Mr. Worm,Er. applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why an attorney of this Court., Thomas Walker, should not be struck off the Rolls. He had been an attorney M this Court since the year 1836. At the late assizes for the county of York, he had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with the forgery of an "interim order" of protection under the Bankruptcy Act, and had been sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment by Mr. Baron Rolfe. This sentence Walker was now undergoing. • Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—'fake a rule to show cause. The Court rose shortly after eleven o'clock. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron th:RNEY.) TURNER V. TURNER. Mr. Cockburn (with whom was Mr. Saunders) appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Whateley conducted the case for the defendant. This action was brought by the plaintiff (who sued in forma pauperis) against the defendant, his daughter-in-law and a widow, to recover the possession of household furni ture, of the estimated value of 1001. The plaintiff was for merly a pianoforte maker, in the service . of Messrs. Stodart, of Golden-square, but having met with an accident of a se rious character, which compelled him to relinquish his em ployment, which he has subsequently been unable to follow, an annuity. of 10/. per annum was allo bred him by his late employers. One of his sons married the defendant in 1833, and the plaintiff, being desirous of enjoying domestic quietude, deposited a quantity of furniture in his son's house, and resided with him and his wife up to 1838, when ill-health compelled him to leave London for Northumberland, where he _is at present residing. His son died in May. 1841. Witnesses, relations of the plaintiff, were called to prove the plaintiff's right to thefurniture. One, the plaintiff's brother, stated that the defendant offered to marry him about three months after her husband's death; but, on being sharply cross-examined, he admitted that he was first guilty of the " soft impeachment," but that the defendant declined to become his spouse; but subsequently she said, " Why don't you marry me," but his passion having on the former occasion led him to make a rash and inconsiderate vow, he refused. Mr. WHATELEY read several letters from the plaintiff to the defendant, applying for small remittances of money, but never offering any claim to the furniture, which it was only reasonable to suppose he would have claimed when in such distressed circumstances-as appeared from his letters. The Learned Counsel then adverted to the bringing of the action by the plaintiff in forma pauperis, which, whether the jury returned a verdict for him or the defendant, was, so far as the expense of the action was concerned, a matter of indifference, as in either case the defendant would have to pay the costs. It was further contended that the furniture was given to the defendant's husband-at his marriage. Mr. Cocn..mmx replied at some length, and ably argued the plaintiff's right to the furniture. The Learned JUDGE. summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Sarah Bennett, a respectable looking young woman, was charged with attempting to drown herself in the Thames. Policeman 95 M stated that while on duty that morning at two o'clock, at Bankside, he saw the defendant, who was walking close by the brink of the river. She was crying, -and when he asked her what was the matter with her, she replied that she was in great trouble of mind, that she had spent some money which *as not her own, and that she was afraid to go home. She . then suddenly ran a short distance and divesting herself of her bonnet and shawl, was about to throw herself into the river, when the policeman ran up and took her to the station-house. When at the station-house she said that she lived with her mother, in Plough-court, Holborn, who was the owner of some small tenements in that locality, and that, having expended some of hor money without her sanction, she was afraid to return home. Mr. Timm., said that he must have some person to be an swerable that the defendant would not repeat the attempt, and she was, therefore, locked up until sonic of her friends were apprised of her situation. • LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)

Accounts have been received to the 26th of February, from the Cape of Good Hope. There had been some inter. esting debates in the Legislature respecting an accession of labour, and the superiority .of European over native or negro services, was strongly contended for by the leading members. The following is from a com munication, dated Colesburg, in the new settlement of Natal :—" This little village was thrown into consi derable excitement, from a report having been spread that the emigrant farmers were on the road to Philippolis, to attack Adam Kok, in consequence of his having apprehended and surrendered up to the colonial authorities Hermanus Van Staader, who murdered George Mills, a British trader in the chief's territory, and b u t a f ew miles from Philippolis, and who, it was said, saw the emigrants in large numbers pro ceeding to Philippolis, and the clouds of dust occasioned by their movement ; and shortly after leaving Philippolis, heard the report of guns in that direction ; that this individual had gone Ito Phi!ippolis to warn the Griquas of their danger, and then rode off for Colesburg. The Civil Commissioner, it is said, immediately communicated with the commanding officer of the 91st Regiment to 'be iu readiness, should their services be required ; and it was thought they would have marched early the following morning to the Orange River, the boundary of the colony, to prevent any inroad the emigrants might at tempt. However, no report from the chief was received by the Civil Commissioner—consequently it would have been extremely absurd to make such a demonstration upon ,the mere vague report of an individual, unauthenticated by any other evidence. The Civil Commissioner sent an express CO Philippolis to hear the result of the attack ; but I believe re ceived for answer that it had not taken place, but he had heard that some farmers at Modder River (about 200 miles off) were said to be preparing." The farmers of the Bechuana country had given in their submission to the Government. As theammber of the native tribes in the Natal settlement is very large, it is stated that some steps will be necessary for their protection against the increasing immigration, and as food is scarce, they must be early taught methods of cultivation. We have had some rather important arrivals of provisions from Australia within the last week or two, chiefly consisting of mutton-hams, tongues, &c., and it is considered some what strange that so little is heard of these articleS by the general consumers, that, up to the present time, the sugges tion thrown out by many influential free traders, .for the es , tablishment of shops to retail foreign provisions exclusively, since the regular dealers seem disinclined to enter into the trade, should not have been yet carried ont. The Stock Market is rather flat to-day, and Consols have receded to 99k to 99k, both for Money and Account. The Commissioners have made their purchase at 99k. The un funded debt is supported at the advanced premium of 755. to 775. East India Bonds are 925. premium. Bank Stock re alises 196 k, and India Stock 2891. The New Three. and-a- Half per Cents. have been 103 k to 102 k, the Reduced 102 k to 102, and the Three per Cents. 99k to 98k. There have been sales making in Spanish Three per Cent. Stock, which, acting upon a passive market, have led to a decline in prices to 36k and 364 k, so that the advance of yesterday, which had, in fact, no sound basis, has been lost.

It sat with closed doors to re ceive communications from the Government on the commer cial questions. It was decided that the members of the Senate might be present. The Climber again sat in a Secret Committee, and heard the first part of a report of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the commercial negotiation of Belgium since 1830. We are assured that all this part of the report related to the negotiations with France, to the circumstance which led to the concessions of Belgium in 1836, then to conference, and lastly to formal proposals tending to a customs union with that country. The Minister read the documents relating to the projected union, which made, it is said, a great impression. The Minister will continue the reading of this report to morrow: The members of the Commission whom the Government sent to England to study the system of prison discipline in that country, returned to Brussels some days ago. A letter from Rome says, • that the Count d'Oultremont, Minister of Belgium at the Holy See, had gone, in the middle of this month, to Florence, t o b e pr e sent at the marriage of Prince LuitpOld, of Bavaria, to the Archduchess Augusta of Tuscany. A letter from Vienna, of the 15th, says that the Archd u k e Francis, fourteen years of a ge , the eldest son of the Archduke Francis Charles, and at present the presumptive hei r t o th e Imperial Crown, was attacked with scarlatina, but that the disorder proceeded in the usual course, and that no alarm was felt. • BELGIAN FUNDS.—BanssEts, APRIL 23.
