THIRD EDITION OF 4 , THE SUN." Ws have received many complaintafrom Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who series them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injiutke to his customer.

" This work is perhaps the best of Eugene Sue's productions. There is no class of readers, even the highest and most cultivated, who may net derive both amusement and instruction from it as an illustration of historical truth; while, on the other hand, its vivid painting, its wild and exciting incidents, the vigour and verisimilitude of its delineations of human character, and the rapid movement and bold simplicity of its style, give It a peculiar charm for those who seek, in works of this nature, the mere excitement of the moment." —Court Journal.

Men possessing even the ordinary powers of reason, on undertaking any measure of importance, look for ward to the consequences. They are not like the beasts of the field, left to instinct—they have been gifted with rational minds, and are accountable for their conduct. It may, therefore, not be out of sea son at the present moment to ask Sir R. INGLIs, Mr. HINDLEY, and Sir CULLING E. SMITH, in case of their opposition to the Maynooth grant being suc cessful, if they are prepared to meet the crisis which must follow ? Should Sir R. PEEL'S scheme be de feated in the Commons or the Lords, he and his entire Cabinet must resign at once. The QUEEN would apply to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or possibly consult Lord MELBOURNE, with the view of form ing a new administration, and the result eould not for a moment be doubtful. All the Whig party, which we admit is not very great, and all the leading men of the Liberal party are bound to this measure, even by stronger ties than the present Cabinet. In fact, it is their measure ; they cannot escape from it; and they must tell her MAJESTY that they will not incur the awful responsibility of forming an administration which would be opposed to the death by seven millions of her most loyal subjects, and which could, under such circumstances, receive the support of not one statesman out of the Cabinet. As a forlorn hope, application might be made to the parties who had upset the PEEL Government. At the head of these we place Sir R. H. Noma; he must, of course, make the best of his material 3, and on looking at the list of the division against the grant, he would be compelled, probably, to choose the following members :—Mr. PLUNIPTRE, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Mr. G BANKES, Mr. C. HINDLEY, Mr. B. DISRAELI, Mr. LEFROY, Lord ASHLEY, Mr. COLQUHOUN, the Hon. E. P. BOUVERIE, Colonel SIBTHORP, Mr. E. ELLICE, jun., and Mr. E. GROGAN. To select a Cabinet from among these names even with Lord KENTON, Lord RODEN, and some less prominent members from the House of Lords, would be a hopeless task even under ordinary circumstances. And at such a period of excitement as would infallibly succeed the rejection of a measure so important to Ireland, even if they were selected, they could not keep together for one week. But placing their case in the most favourable light, and admitting that all the Liberals were rejected and a High Church Cabinet constructed, with a majority too of the House of Commons at their back, they could rule Ireland only by the sword. Repeal meetings, and such monster meetings too as Ireland has never seen, would assemble in every valley and on every hill; the spirit of Irish independence would be one and indivisible, and " death to the oppressors," would be the watchword of a million of brave men. Then scenes would follow which would make the stoutest heart to quail—the subjects, and the loyal subjects too, of the same sovereign imbruing their hands in each others blood—in the north the nearest neighbours fighting as the bitterest _enemies, in the south one armed camp—the horrors of Scotland under the persecution of the Episcopalians, the deeds of the bloodthirsty DALZIEL, and DRUMMOND, and TURNER, and the savage resistance of the Covenanters, would all be thrown into the shade by a civil war in Ire land. These are no imaginary evils—they would succeed the appointment of a High Church Cabinet as certainly as the effect follows the cause. And should the power of England prevail, what would the Anti-Popery party gain ? Would the Catholic religion be crushed—would there be one convert ? The number of Catholics would be diminished, but only by the edge of the sword and the gibbet, and the spirit of their religion, like that of the Covenan ters, would only rise higher, and assume a more noble, a more holy, and a more enthusiastic tone. Let these men, therefore, look to the end. Let them look to history, and they will find that persecution has never had any other result; but, above all, let them look to their Bible, and read that the " wisdom which is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits." This is the religion of CHRIST—the other is the religion of MAHOMET. These topics are not convenient for a newspaper; but when religious zeal is producing most dangerous effects on the com munity; when a large proportion of the teachers of the people appeal to religion as their authority, and not only the lives of thousands, but the very existence of the State is in jeopardy, no other weapons remain to counteract the evil. Great evil, we fear, has already been done. The Irish people, who are as much attached to their religion as the English or Scotch, and who have more regard for their spiritual guides, must witness with dismay this unexpected insult. The grant to Maynooth has been recognised by the Crown, the Legislature, and the whole community, for nearly half a century ; and when a proposition is made to increase it by a sum not equal to the income of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Puseyites and the Dissenters, men of the most opposite religious opinions, cordially unite to raise an outcry against the unfortunate Catholics. Mr. O'CONNELL, with all his ingenuity, has never yet had such an argument for repeal as this. Ireland has long been an object of sympathy to foreign nations—it has been regarded as the great blot of our Constitution, alike admired for its liberal principles and the harmony of the dif ferent points; and after Emancipation had been conceded, and a generous spirit of conciliation was displayed both by Whigs and Tories, a belief began to prevail abroad that our religious animosities were drawing to a close and justice was to be done to the sister kingdom, when, to the joy of our enemies and the sorrow of every friend of his country, in the middle of the nineteenth century, the spirit of per secution breaks forth with all the vigour of the dark ages. This is news to the Legitimatists and Re publicans of France, and to still more dangerous ene mies, because more united—the States of the American Republic. Are the lessons of past ages to be despised? Will Sir R. INGLI3 and Mr. HINDLEY not look even to the history of their own country, and know that the Scots, who hated Episcopacy more than they hated Popery, when Episcopacy was forced upon them, now regard the Church of England and the Church of Scotland as sisters, and that nearly all the higher classes in the north profess that faith against which their ancestors fought till they con quered ? In the year 1845 we were really unprepared to see anything like the revival of those sanguinary wars, waged in the name of religion, which have always been the disgrace of humanity. We had indulged the hope that the world of civilisation was at length awakened to the folly as well as wickedness, the im piety as well as the madness, of committing whole sale murder on large sections of the human family in the name, and for the vindication of, the SUPREME B EiNcli, the fount a i n o f a ll mercy as well as of all ex istence. With the boasted advance of knowledge, the diffusion of education, and the increasing participa tion of the people in almost every European State in the control as well as the enjoy ment of political institutions, we would have fain hoped that the day was gone by at which men could be moved from the plain and direct path of social duty—the adaptation of their own inherent, natural, and private rights to that rule of conduct which is imposed by the exigencies of the common weal—the interests of the public welfare—by the artful excitements of selfish and designing Church men, bent really on the aggrandisement of their own order, though loudly professing to act only for " the glory of GOD !" As if persecution were of GOD, or bigotry could be identified with the worship of Divine Truth; as if the majesty of DEITY could regard, with favour, their exclusive pretensions to an accurate estimate of its nature and its requirements who have steeped their &grass in the blood of age and infancy, of women as well as of men, of the martyred recluse and the intrepid patriot. These wars of religion, for some reason or other, appear to have been always the most sanguinary and vindictive in mountainous countries. The exterminating cru sades against the Albigenses and the Waldenses, which the Romish Church waged in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries at Bezieres, at Minerba, Larvaur, and other parts of Languedoc, Narbonne, Provence, &c., were ominous prototypes of the fierce religious feuds between Romanist and Wickliffite, Papist and Huguenot, which for many centuries afterwards dis tracted Germany, France, England, Ireland, and Scotland which led to the appalling catas trophe of St. Bartholomew's, and strewed the purple heather of the wild hill-sides of our Northern Highlands with the best blood of the sincere and enthusiastic Covenanters. But since the period of the accession of the House of Hanover in this kingdom, and that of the Regency of Orleans in France, this religious fury seems to have generally vented itself through the safety-valves of angry dis cussion, and all the varied ebullitions of polemical controversy. We make no account of the occasional returns of the "mark of the beast," among the other atrocities of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. These re turns, though tinctured, as indeed they had been in the two Scottish Rebellions of 1715 and 1746, with the old leaven of cruelty and fanaticism, were mere inci dents to—not component features or necessary ele ments of—those political struggles. But the present troubles in Switzerland, already stamped with the unmistakeable and disastrous character of civil war fare—(of warfare among those mountain Cantons which cradled the infant liberties of Europe, and maintained their own prezarious independence solely by the union of the front which they presented to the military despotisms arrayed, on all sides, against them)—these troubles, we regret to perceive, bear about them the frightful evidences of their pestilential origin. They arise out of that antipathy of sects — that odium theologictsm—which is the bane of social peace, the destruction of order, the scourge of hu manity, the implacable enemy of civilisation, the an tagonist or evil principle arrayed in immortal battle against the essential Rood whose development is truth and knowledge. We are not undertaking to decide at present be tween the merits of the two causes ; that of the Roman Catholic Cantons in its identification with the es tablishment and pre tensions of the Jesuits, and that of the Protestant Cantons, associated with the de mands for a larger infusion of the popular element into all their municipal institut ions, &c., which are vigorously advocated by the Swiss Radicals. We do not know enough of their merits, were we inclined to tender our opinion upon them. "Non nostrum tantas componere lites." But we look to the results. Whether the men of Basle were the aggressors in the first instance against the people of Lucerne, or the people of Lucerne were driven, in a righteous self defence, to make battle on the men of Basle, we raay soon be in a position to determine. All that we at present certainly kno,v, is, that the Roman Catholic and Jesuit party of Lucerne has signalised its superior power in a very severe and disastrous defeat of the forces moved against it by its Protestant and Radical opponents. A vast number of dead were left on the field of their conflict, and many prisoners were taken. One of these, if not more, had already, according to the announcements of the last advices received in Paris from the scene of action, been tried, condemned, and shot ! We yet hope and trust this account of the fate of Dr. STEIGER is unfounded ;—that if it be un happily true, we do trust that the Great Powers of Europe will reverse the policy of former and more bar barous ages, and boldly interpose their authoritative mediation between the contending Cantons, on the broad ground that neither the Christianity, nor the civilisation—the honour nor the repose—the public feeling nor the public interests of Europe will tole rate war in any one of the Continental States on grounds of purely theological differences. The philosophy of crime is a branch of psycholo gical inquiry which the events of every day are forcing upon the reluctant consideration of the British public. The deplorable, the fatal frequency with which one crime of hitherto unparalleled atro city is succeeded by another of enormity so stupen dous as to throw its predecessor into shadow—not to say comparative insignificance—must have some specific, immediate cause. It cannot be, entirely, the result of that old leaven of ignorance which is pro verbially said to be the mother of guilt. Neither the person accused of the murder of his young and accomplished and confiding wife, who was ac quitted, nor JOHN TAWELL, who, less fortu nate, has paid the righteous forfeit of his life on aTpublic scaffold—nor the convicted felon who was on Friday adjudged to undergo the same ignomi nious fate, for a most brutal and sanguinary assassi nation under circumstances that have possibly a deeper base of horrors (happily unrevealed to the tribunal before which he was brought), than has existed in either of the other cases ; neither of these offenders was an ignorant man. But, in truth, to the disgrace of our country, our age, our civilisa tion, the intensity of crime seems to be governed among us by the same law which, before:M. GUIZOT'S accession to power, was so fatally demonstrated to govern it in France. Not according to the crassitude of ignorance, but rather to the degree and refine ment of education, is the ratio of the intensity of crime. The better educated the delinquent, the more shocking and elaborate the character of his crime. The habits of self-possession and control, which are superinduced by education, give to such criminals a degree of moral constancy, an inflexibility of per sonal bearing, in the very face of their impending and inevitable fate, which is productive of the worst and most dangerous influences on the sympathies and impressions of the bystanders, and of the people generally. Is this occasioned by the creature-comfort attentions of sub-sheriffs bursting into a little noto riety within the ring-fence of county fame; or the overstrained respect of deferential turn keys, hoping one day to blossom into full-grown gaolers, and even prison governors, through the ex cellent things daily recorded of them by their friends among the penny-a-liner " gentlemen of the press ?" Either men are apt to pity an offender of this sort by reason of this stoical fortitude, although believing him to be guilty; or this fortitude, despite all the accumulated evidence which has been given to his guilt, infects them with an indolent, uninquiring, but not the less decided, impression of his innocence. Reverting to the demeanour of many among the most desperate offenders who have perished within the last five years under the hands of the public executioner, we are tempted, at first, to believe, either that death has lost its terrors with " those who are appointed to die ;" or the law, which was intended to secure the inviolability of human life, that ordinary degree of respect for its enactments, and that dread of its penalties which the mere prejudices of our social habits seem to attach to other of its injunc tions, and to the punishment decreed for their transgression, where the offence it is addressed to is of a far more trivial character, and the consequences of infringement infinitely less serious. We have schemes of prison discipline, theories of pri soners' classification, systems of penitentiary treat ment, and model prisons without end, or stint, or measure ; converted, organised, practised, enforced, built—at GOD knows what amount of charge to the country. Where is the result of corresponding be nefit ? Ii the interior economy of our gaols be ma naged with a little more of decorum and decency than heretofore, when every manacled " Macheath" was a furtive hero in fetters—approachable, communicable, conversable to and for all the world, and as much so on the eve of execution as on the first day of his com mittal to Newgate ;—we do not see that beyond the walls of these gaols crime has become less prurient in its excesses, vice less scandalous in its publicity, or convicted infamy less certain of securing, from the more "enlightened" readers, who gloat over their scores of columns of exclusive reports of executions, or the better educated meb of sight-seers who as semble beneath the gallows-tree to witness them—a less amount of morbid and meretricious compassion, solicitude, a uderiinnutßerreEsLt,L a or martyr, whatev or a erthe i f iA ee mr liz i j b a e, hi w gh h l i y ch . respectable " unfortunate." There must be some thing very wrong at the bottom of this condition of things. It is a most alarming and a very nauseous symptom of what we shall call "a moral consump tion" in the frame of society. The tear of pity which bedews the details of such appalling iniquity as the press has lately had to record is really a very maudlin tribute of a very sickly sympathy. The blush which such details calls into the check of many a reader who at first mistakes an unwholesome excitement for the impulse of an innocent curiosity, is not, we fear, the mantling expression of a generous and virtuous indignation at the convulsive hectic of an already diseased imagination pampering to its self-destroying demands. Where the fault lies we will not now attempt to inquire. That the evil exists nobody, we apprehend, will attempt to deny. Surely no questions can better deserve the careful investigation of the authorities, civil and executive, connected with the administration of the law, than the cause and effect which involve a signal failure in the highest and most solemn branch of positive law to vindicate its own majesty, or to deter men from breaking through its restraints and braving its penalties. The law has already lost half its fore, as well as its justification, when its extreme vengeance is encountered habitually, as it were, with an indifference which amounts to defiance, or a fortitude which is the manifestation of indiffer ence, and this in the face of all the world, and at the last closing moments of their existence in it. Madrid papers of the 6th have been received. A settlement of the difference between Spain and the Holy See appears to be in a fair train. The Heraldo announces that the POPE acknowledgts the rights of the owners of Church property purchased according to the laws of the State, and a nuncio from Rome was daily expected. 'The following appears in the Madrid Gazette of the 6th :—" Ministry of Foreign Affairs.—DON JOSE DE CASTILLO Y AYENZA, in a dis patch dated Rome, March 28, announces to the Go vernment of her MAJESTY that he received on the27th a note from the Cardinal Secretary of State. The prelate informs him in that note, that he is officially authorised by his HOLINESS to accept the Royal cre dentials delivered to M. CASTILLO as Minister Pleni potentiary of her Catholic MAJESTY QUEEN ISA BELLA 11. to the Holy See. The CARDINAL is like wise empowered to proceed immediately in conjunc tion with said Plenipotentiary to arrange the eccle siastical affairs of Spain." On the sth the Three per Cents. closed at 351 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25-a ; and the Debt without Interest at 8i at 60 days. The French Chamber of Peers have advanced another step in favour of the slaves in the colonies, but it is to be regretted that the step, though ostensibly liberal, car► hardly produce any material result. A debate took place on the clauses for allowing the negro to purchase his liberty o❑ certain conditions, and was adopted with an amendment proposed by Count BEuo- NOT, to the effect that he shall have the right of choosing the employer with whom he shall labour, for the periodof five years, which he is still to serve after he is able to purchase his freedom. The price is reckoned at about 521., and few slaves with only one day to them selves for the weeks' maintenance will be able to realise that sum in ten years. ‘Vith the five years of probation added, he cannot be free for fifteen years. This is a sad mockery, but possibly the Chamber had no choice, as the opponents of emancipation are more powerful in France than they were in England, and it would be impossible to wring fr. - m the Deputies such a liberal grant as was voted by a British House of Commons. The Journal des Debuts regards most of the remedies proposed as of Mee value, because they hold out so little hope of liberty to the victims of slavery. "It would be difficult," observes that journal. " to imagine a system of emancipation more limited, more prudent, more slow, and, we should add, more timid, than that which the Chambers of Peers has been occupied in dis cussing for some days past. England on the same day, and on the same hour, generously and boldly granted liberty to 800,000 slaves in her colonies, and drew from her treasury 500,000,000 f. to indemnify their masters. We are far from possessing so much decision or so much liberality. 'We tell the slaves in our colonies, you shall be free on condition that you pay the price of your free dom. But the slave possesses nothing. The Bill under consideration, however, provides for this by giving the slave one day in the week, on condition that he supply himself with the means of existence during the remain ing days of the week. The value of a day's wages in the West Indies is estimated at If. 60c. It follows from this calculation that at the end of the year the slave will have gained from ME to 80f. If from this sum be deducted what the slave shall have expended fur his subsistence, the difference will constitute the amount of savings by which the slave is to pay his ransom. But what is the value of a slave? By some a slave is estimated at 1,2001., by others at 1,400 f. According to the Bill under dis cussion, the value of the slave is to be fixed by commis sioners. It is not to be feared, therefore, that the work of emancipation will advance too rapidly. It appears certain that, by the proposed measure, slavery will re quire a longer time to disappear from our colonies than the period which has existed since its establishment." This is a dismal prospect, and shows that the French know very little yet of the true secret of governing colonies. The same paper announces the following decision of the Council of Prefec ture in the case of the officers of the National Guards who had signed the petition against arming the fortifica tions of Paris : " Of the several officers of the National Guard prosecuted for having signed petitions against the armament of the for tifications of Paris, thirty-five have already been brought before the Council of the Prefecture, presided over by Count Rambuteau in person, and composed of Messrs. de la Morelle, Lafond de Ladebat, de Maupas, Lucas de Montigny, and Molin. The officers were defended by M. Ledru Rollin and M. Joly, both Members of the Chamber of Deputies. It was not till Friday that the Council pronounced its decree. Thirty of the officers cited are suspended from the exercise of the military functions of their rank for two months, but the five others, having given satisfactory explanations, were dis charged free from the complaint laid against them." Some of the journals add, that a distinction was made between the officers who admitted that they were igno rant of the existing law, and those who persisted in their right notwithstanding the law. The former con- April, 1814, and whose sequently were acquitted. O n Frida y , the Chamber of Deputies adopted the Bill rel ative to th e arrears duo to the members of the Legion of Hon our , by which all those admitted d otation pwraesvioruedsneteod the h; 06nteh. half fr om 1814 to 1820, are to receive 100 f. per annum, in addition to the pension of 250 f. attached to the decoration, from the Ist of January, 1846. Those decorated by NAPOLEON dur ing the hundred days are included in this list. The Constitutionnel contains some rumours relative to the negotiations carried on in London on the right of search, but places no confidence in them. " Twenty different plans," it says, " have been imagined for the mixed commission, and the Duke DE BROGLIE ought to have carried from France an enormous pile of those in ventions, more or less ingenious. But the oldest of all was the best—the American treaty." The accounts from Switzerland are to the 9th inst., and we regret to say, very unsatisfactory. There seems to be no controlling power, in fact, no effective executive in the country. Each canton will have As own way. At Lucerne great exasperation still prevails, and serious apprehensions are entertained for the fate of the pri soners. The Constitalinnnel says : " The unusual precipitation with which judgment has been proceeded to at Lucerne, on the principal leaders of the un • fortunate expedition of March 31, had led the Commission of the Diet, assembled at present at Zurich, to fear that the victorious party would have the capital condemnations car ried into effect before the Diet could have come to a decision. This circumstance had induced it to leave aside for the moment all other questions, in order to attend to the am nesty only, and the Members of the Diet had been given notice on the 7th that there would be a sitting next day. But on the Bth the Commission had two of the Deputies of Lucerne, MM. Siegwart and Attenhofer, called before it, and, on the assurance that they gave that there would be no capital execution during the week, it decided that it should resume the simultaneous examination of the pending questions, and the report was to be submitted to the Diet on the 10th. As it is not probable that a majority can be ob tained for the interdiction of the Jesuits, under form of summons, or invitation, this question will be allowed to rest until the meeting of the ordinary Diet, which is to take place in the month of July. Lucerne will judge meanwhile if it become her t o ca ll the good fathers in the midst of the streams of blood which they have already caused to be shed." The accounts in the Journal des Debats are a little more favourable : " By accounts from Geneva of the sth, we learn that, on the preceding day, an attempt was made in that town os tensibly to raise a free corps, but in reality to excite a local insurrection. Several hundreds of persons assembled on the Poquis, proclaiming an intention to march against Lucerne; but their real project becoming evident, the Government im mediately took measures to disperse the agitators. They were composed for the much greater part of men from Vaud, Neufchatel, and Germany, very few Genevese being amongst them. The movement was principally directed by two men from Vaud, who have escaped. The soldiery answered the call of the authorities, and came out with the greatest ala crity. In Lausanne itself the Radical Government has been outdone by the people, and has been obliged to resist their exigencies, We have received the report addressed to the Vorort by the Federal It is dated on the 6th, from Arau, and expressos , great uneasiness, the Com missioners being forced to ac knowledge that, in genirar they have met complete defiance from the Government of Lucerne and its allies, and that they seemed to foresee a federal In tervention. The Commissioners declare their apprehensions that Lucerne and the lesser cantons will refuse to place their troops tinder the federal command." THE BOUPE.-_-1-SaTunDAY. APRIL 12.

A circular has been sent to us by the Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, containing many cogent reasons why there should be an amelioration in the duties upon the importation of foreign cheese and butter, by which the poorer classes would be most materially benefited. Some of our Morning Contemporaries have referred already to this subject; bat the more important points in the circular may be thus quoted " The result of high prices leads to the use of unwhole some substitutes, such as common animal fat, rancid lard and other grease, boiled potatoes, and boiled peas, coloured to re present butter—these ingredients are extensively used in common pastry for the poor in the low neighbourhoods in and about London ; and to show the extent of this trade, some individuals engaged in it make 20,000 to 30,000 pies per week. Yet, in the face of this we hear from Liverpool, no later than the 3d instant, that part of the butter now in stock from the United States, will have to be " tarred," in conse quence of the quality not being good enough to enable the importers to pay the 20s. duty, therefore a large proportion must be cleared for grease, after being subject to the revolting process of destruction, by being mixed with " tar," when this quantity, at a duty of 10s. per cwt., would have been consumed for the purpose originally imported—namely, butter. " The effect of the improvement in the trade of the manu facturing districts is shown, as regards importation and con sumption, by comparing the stock on hand the past two years. The stock of butter in London, On the 7th April, 1844, was 22,480 firkins; Do. do. 1845, 5,620 do. So that from this time to May and June (termed by the trade the end of the season) the price of butter will be 20 to 30 per cent. above the usual price at that period of the year ; and, with the present state of the meadow-land in this country, combined with the limited stock of butter on hand, were it not for the foreign importation, butter would be worth 2s. 6d. to 3s. per lb. between this time and the end of May, which would act as a prohibition to its being used by the middling and poorer classes of society." It is a favourable feature in the accounts from America, brought by the Cambria steamer, that very general doubts were entertained as to the annexation of Teias after all that has been advanced upon the subject. The commercial ac counts are rather more favourable than by the last arrival. From the Cape of Good Hope we have advices received at the Hall of Commerce this morning to the 11th of February. The only important fact in the accounts is that the proposed law relative to the Stamp Acts was not to be proceeded with. The quotations of the Public Securities have been rather firm this morning. For the Account Consols have been done at 99 1 A 1%, and the same for transfer to-morrow. The Re duced Three per Cents. have advanced to 98%, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. to 101%. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has been done at 575. to 595. premium. Bank Stock has been heavy at a fall from 210 1 4 to 209 1 1 210. A good market has ruled to-day for most of the Foreign Stocks. Spanish Bonds have been sold at 30 1 4, and the Three per Cents. at 40 1 4. These rates show an improve ment on the values of last week, as the Ministry at Madrid intend to confine the expenditure within narrower limits than was expected. The Portuguese Converted Bonds have been at 65; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 63; the Four per Cents. at 97%; Mexican at 36 1 1 4 ; and Bra zilian at 87 1 ,! 2 . The settlement in the Railway Share Market is going off very well indeed. The market is extremely firm, as our list of prices will show. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Fresh up scarcely any English Wheat came to hand, either coastwise or by land carriage; hence the show of samples of that produce was extremely small. Owing, however, to the comparatively thin attendance of buyers, the trade was by no means brisk; yet, in some few instances, a trifling advance was paid for selected qualities of both red and white. In other qualities, only a moderate business was transacted, yet the quotations were firmly sup ported. From the whole of our grain districts, the accounts respecting the appearance of the winter, wheats are quite as favourable as could be expected. The quantity of free foreign Wheat brought forward was limited. Selected parcels were in better request, at very full prices. In other kinds, we have scarcely a transaction to notice. A few sales of Oats, under lock, took place ; but in all other kinds of Grain in bond, next to nothing was passing. Although the supply of Barley was small, that article met a dull inquiry, at barely last week's quotations. The show of Malt was good. The best kinds were held firmly, at full prices, but all other qualities were a mere drug. The best potatoe Oats produced a trifle more money. Other parcels, which were in short supply, were quite as dear. Grey Peas were a trifle ,dearer. Other Peas quite as dear. Beans and Flour a slow inquiry. - - CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

In the past week the imports of live stock from abroad have consisted of about fifty Oxen and Cows, by steamer, from Rotterdam. These arrivals having proved of very su perior quality—although some of them were slightly affected with the prevailing epidemic—they have commanded a steady inquiry, at improved currencies—some of them having changed hands at 291 per head. We had on sale only ten foreign Beasts, the above importations being mostly disposed of on Friday last. Fresh up from our own grazing counties, only moderate time-of-year supplies of Beasts came to hand to-day, there being about 200 less on offer than on this day se'nnight, while a decided falling off was apparent in their general quality. The dead markets being well cleared of their late arrivals, and the attendance of both town and country buyers numerous, the Beef trade was somewhat active, at an improvement in the currencies obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs, the primest Scots readily producing 4s to 4s 2d per Blbs, at which a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,600 Scots and Homebreds ; while the receipts from the Northern grazing districts amounted to 200 Short-horns; from the Western and Midland Counties, 400 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 90 horned and polled Scots, the remainder of the bullock supply being chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The numbers of sheep were moderately extensive, yet a scarcity of really prime old Downs was noticed. The Mutton trade was, on the whole, active, at an enhancement on last week's figures of 2d per 81bs, the primest old Downs realising 4s 8d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 76 Lambs came fresh to hand per railway, while from other quarters the receipts were moderate. The lamb trade was firm at prices fully equal to those obtained on Friday. The supply of Calves was small - yet the Veal trade was dull, at barely stationary prices. In Pigs we have very few transactions to report, and the quotations were with difficulty supported.

Although the fresh arrivals of Potatoes at the water side have been by no means extensive, during the week the sup plies offering have proved seasonably large. For all kinds the demand has been in a very depressed state, and prices have had a downward tendency. BOROUGH HOP MARXIST. The market being very sparingly supplied with all descrip tions of Hops, holders continue firm, and, in the few sales effected since our last, full prices have been realised in every instance. NEWOATE AND LEA.DENHA.LL. The receipts of country-slaughtered Meat for these markets, during the past week, have been seasonably extensive, and of fair average quality. The supplies on offer killed in the me tropolis, have proved moderately good, yet, on the whole, an improvement must be reported . in the d eman d fur 411 ciescripe tions of prime meat at full prices.

In the private contract market only a limited business has been transacted in foreign Wools, yet prices have been steadily supported. For English qualities there is more inquiry, at fully previous currencies. No public sales are yet announced. TALLOW This market is still very dull, and prices are on the decline both cn the spot and for the autumn. The delivery for the past week is a fair average one, compared with that of the last four or five years. It is quite impo►sible for us to give an opinion as to prices of Tallow for future delivery ; the very extraordinary changes now in progress in the metropolis in the manufacture and composition of candles precludes ue from venturing a statement on this point.
