In the produce markets to-day there is a remarkable fea ture to notice, a declaration of very nearly 13,000 bags of Mauritius sugar, and which under all circumstances has gone . off much better than was anticipated, the more especially as many alterations are looked for in the tariff. In several quarters doubts were entertained whether Sir Robert Peel really intended to bring forward the whole of the Budget on the 14th instant, but the declaration last night in Parliament has set this question entirely at rest. An anxiety, great in deed, is exhibited to learn what the alterations are to be. The holders of British Plantation Sugars, as well as of Mau ritius' are pressing sales, und er th e expectation that there will be a liberal alteration of the duties upon foreign free labour produce. There has not been any late arrival announced from the British colonies to-day. There has been a heavy market for the Three per Cent. Consols to-day. Sales have been made for immediate trans fer at 994, and for the Account at 99%, being a fall of % to % per cent, on the highest value paid yesterday. Bank Stock has receded from 215 to 213 1 / 2 . The Reduced Three per Cents. have fluctuated from 99 3 / 4 to 100, and the New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. from 103% to 5 / 8 . India Stock is 2 per cent. lower than it was yesterday, namely, at 282. Exchequer-bills are at 60s. to 625. premium. In the Foreign Funds not a great deal of business has been transacted this morning. Austrian Bonds have been done at 115 ; Chilian at 101 ; Mexican at 364 ; Portuguese at 86 ; Russian at 119%. The Spanish Three per Cents. have fallen from 414 to 40%, and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 63 1 4. A vast amount of business has been transacted in the Rail way Shares to-day, but the quotations are scarcely so high as yesterday, as our corrected list of the day will show.

We would unite on this common ground the good and great men of all parties ; would afford a medium of connnu ideation and public discussion on all subjects relating to this vital question ; we would show its importance to all classes, and force all classes to reflect upon it. The task is arduous, but the end is no less I than the salvatson of our country. Clahning the support of no isolated party, and therefore truckling to none, we call boldly upon Whig, Tor), and Radical to assist,oor efforts. It is the cause of self-pre servatlon—the cause of duty—the cause of civilisation—and, above all, the cause of morality and Chrstianity. In the Numbers already published, besides the usual News of the week, Foreign and 'Domestic, Theatres and the Fine Arts, the following important subjects are discussed by able writers : —The State of the Church of England—The Social Evils of 'lreland—Dwell'ngs of the Labouring 'Classes—The Repeal Agitation—Necessity for ditera,ion in the New Poor-Laws—Society and the Doctors—The Revenue—Sanatory Condition of Populous Towns—Abolition of Window Tax insisted on—National Education in Ireland—The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Exeter The Medical Profession—Shooting and Racing—System of False Weights and Measures—Proposed Loan Societies—The Game-Laws and their Champion Mr. Grantley Berkeley—Position of Political Parties—Allotments for the Poor—Doctor versus Doctor—Law for the Rich and Law for the Poor—Moral Effects of Capital Punishment —Condition of the Roman Catholic Priesthood in Ireland—Railway Progress—Allotments in Manufacturing Districts—lmportance of Ventilation, &c., &c.

Mills, however, soon gained upon him, and it was evident that the condition of Batten could not stand the pace. When about half a mile from home, Mills shot ahead, and kept in that position to the end of the race, accomplishing the four miles in a few seconds over twenty-two minutes.

Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwirl Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments.

All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it Is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

THE RAILWAY COMMITTEE The discussion on Lord Howick's motion for an Ex. tension of the time allowed for the presentation of Rail. way and Private Bills to Parliament, will be perused with the greatest interest at the present moment. The suggestion offered by his Lordship that the decisions of the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade should not be considered conclusive, and his arguinents against the impolicy of vesting so enormous a responsibility as that which would of nec,•ssity attach to such a Board, were its decisions to be regarded as final, appear to have been generally approved. Without attaching the slightest credit to therumours referred to by his Lordship that influences had been improperly exercised upon the subject of Bills for lines of railway, Sir R. Peel coincided in the objections urged against the present practice, and expressed his opinion that "it would not be proper to determine upon the eligibility of one or other line. of projected lines of railroad without affording the fullest opportunity of investigation." "If (said Sir Ro bert) the suggestion of the Noble Lord be adopted by the House, the effect will be that instead of the time for presenting such petitions being limited, as at present, to a period preceding the 15th of April, it will be extended to twenty one days after the day on whi c h t h e B oar d o f Trade shall have made its report." " The Govern ment will not be bound by the report of the Committee, although it will avail itself of the advantage of its la bours. The question of the eligibility of any particular line will be finally decided by the reasons adduced by the Committee for its selection, excepting in cases where no doubt can exist upon the subject. The xtension of the period for presenting petitions, so far as the projectors of rejected lines of road are concerned, would seem, therefore, to be a mere act of justice. Lord Hoick instanced a ease in which a sum of 1,200,0001. depended on the decision of the Committee, and if that were allowed to be final, a jurisdiction would be given to these gentlemen over the property of indi viduals greater than the amount which all the Courts of Westminster Hall put together were required to adjudi cate upon. To invest a board so constituted with this enormous power was never for a moment contemplated ; the original resolution which led to its formation dis tinctly intimating that the final decision of any question of the kind must depend upon the weight of r. cominen dation accompanying the proposed lines, which Sir Robert Peel affirms will depk i i d upon the reasons ad vanced by the Committee for giving a preference to any one over the other. It will be seen that the further dis cussion of this important question was adjourned to this day.—lferald.

SHAKESPEREAN ,LECTURES.-011 Tuesday even ing last, Mr. Thomas Cross, of Cambridge, delivered his se cond lecture on the plays of Shakespere, at the Eastern Lite rary and Scientific Institution, Hackney-road, before a highly respectable and numerous audience, who evinced their appreciation of Mr. Cross's clever and talented discourse by marked attention and frequent applause. The play under consideration was Macbeth, from which several passages were read by the lecturer with tasteful emphasis and appropriate modulations. He commenced his lecture by pointing out the moral tendency of Shakespere's writings, which he ably de monstrated from a comprehensive view of his works. He then, in a masterly style, went through the play, reading several extracts, which _evinced judgment in thei r se l ect i on and taste in their d e livery. The auditory, who were more. numerous than at the previous lecture, seemed highly gra tified with the intellectual treat provided for them.

Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of the parish of Brent, Devon :—" Brent, March Ist, 1842. Dear Sir,—l consider it a duty incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you, that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit fur my poor suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying but every thing in order to give my child ease, but day by day she continued to get worse, until at last all strength left her, and she was no longer able to walk ; her betty and head were covered all over with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite had vanished, the erup tions would itch in such a dreadful manner that she would roll herself in agonies on the ground, and she could get no sleep what ever by night. Immediately you saw- her, you told me you were certain your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, and she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. By the time she had taken the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person's, the use of her limbs was restored to her, and, I thank God, her health is now as good or better than it ever was.

SUMMARY OF NEWS ttitt ANT) Op t 4 , 4 (l atou, Who runs may read: re, alax-J-ze, The approaching meeting of the Swiss Diet is ex petted to excite considerable ferment. Accordii.g to the Const.titionnel, the Government of Lucerne is making preparations to meet whatever may happen, and a cou • tier has been dispatched to *Naples to reeal immediately the regiment of the Canton, which is in the service of the King of the Two Sicilies. " It is to-morrow," says La Presse, in commencing a long article upon the situation of our Cabil et, " that the session of the English Parliament is to begin. In the very first sittings Lord Brougham, alto has just spent a week at Paris, and attended the last debates on the. Address, is, it is affirmed, to deliver a speech upon the relations of France a ith England—a speech from which the best effects are expected here, for our Ministry are, h..forehand, acquainted with what he will say. in two days ell the world wilt be enabled to judge of this coup Vieatre." On Wednesday a ballot was to take place in the Chain • ber of Deputies for the election of a Vice-President in lieu of the new Minister of Public Instruction, Count de Salvandy, to which it was understood M. D'Aulnay would be elected without opposition. The Brussels Gaztae states that the net receipts of the Belgian railroads for the mouth of December last amounted to 860,000 f. Upwards of 250 houses were last week burnt down in the village of Luc (Switzerland). The clergyman's re sidence and the town-hall were also reduced to ash( s. The total damage from the fire is estimated at 100,000 t. Pro visions and necessaries have been sent in by the sur rounding villages to the sufferers. Madrid journals of the 28th ult. contain a long account of a review of the troops by the Queen, who aas on In.rseback, in a riding-habit, and wearil , aiguillettes of a Captain-General. The Clamor Paco gives from Lotr ' r, no the f o ll ow i ng account o f t h e l ast moments of Zurbano :—" Zurbano died like a hero ; to the last mo meat he displayed admirable courage and serenity. When desired to turn his back to the soldiers, who were about to shout him, he took of his cap, threw it in the air, and said, It is not for a disloyal act that I die I I die for Isabella H., and in defence of the Constitution of 1837.' The Correctional Tribunal of St. Omer was occupied on the 29th ult. with an appeal ease, in which a grocer of Boulogne, named Delapierre, was plaintiff, and Mr. Franklin Kerr, responsible editor of the Boulogne Guar dian, defendant. It appeared from the evidence that an advertisement had appeared, on the sth of September, in the defendant's journal, declaring that "a debt due from the plaintiff, amounting to something under 150 f., vta.. to be sold at a los.. of 90 per cent., and that full particu lars could be obtained on applying to the Commissary of Police." M. Delapierre brought his action for libel be fore the Correctional Tribunal of Boulogne, and de manded I,ooof. damages. A verdict was given against him. Delapierre, not considering this verdict satisfac tory, appealed, and the Tribunal of St. Omer reversed the former sentence, on the ground that to announce the sale of a man's debt at 90 per cent. loss, was greatly calculated to lessen his credit, and do him injury. It condemned Kerr, in consequence, to five days' imprison ment, 50f. fine, and 300 f. damages to the plaintiff. SAW AND /POLIO a. Mr. Commissioner Goulburn gave judgment in the Bankruptcy Court. on the application of the assignees of DeLosio, late of the Royal Hotel, Slough, to inspect the lease of those premises, which was in the possession of Mr. Blackmore, a solicitor, he refusing such inspec thm, on the ground of having a lien on it. The judg ment was that the assignees had a right to inspect the lease, and Mr. Blackmore agreed to furnish them with a copy of it. Samuel Cantelo, Isaac Hurley, Matthew Clarke, and W. Johnson, ccnvicted of breaking and entering the warehouse of the London Dock Company, and of stealing therein 1471b5. of tobacco, were each sentenced to ten years' transportation, at the Central Criminal Court. At the Surrey Sessions, Robert Pratt, for cruelly ill using his son, a boy five years of age, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Mary Hall, alias Monro, alias Weare, about 30 years of age, charged with o'ataining charitable contributions from Mr. C. Bruce, 5, Lowndes-street, Belgrave-square, under fraudulent representations, was committed for two months from Queen-square. At Marlborough-street, yesterday, Benjamin Brown, a cab-driver, was charged with having, while in a state of intoxication, driven against a cart belonging to Wm. Sexton, postman, of Kitisbury-green, and done much damage to the vehicle, besides injuring the owner. Mr. Maltby fined the defendant 40s. 6d. for damage and complainant's loss of time, and 40s. more for the public offence. As the parties retired through the only door which is in c , innion to prisoners and prosecutors, he made his way towards one of the witnesses for the pro secution, and gave him a violent blow on the mouth. The defendant was secured and brought back into Court, when the assault charge was preferred against him. Mr. Maltby fined him 3/. in addition to the other fines, or three months' imprisonment. Angus Gillies, formerly a police-constable of the A division of the metropolitan police, and also a constable in the Edinburgh , and Glasgow Constabulary, was brought up for final examination at Hammersmith, on a charge of having stolen the sum of 1654 in Bank of England notes, the property of Mrs. Mary Lewis, and fully committed fur trial.
