Is it not perfectly Lord to say that the question had been under the consideration notorious that in the ordinary progress of aff a irs men suffering of the Court possessing the highest criminal jurisdiction in the wader any grievances, and feeling some more strongly than country, and it had been decided by the unanimous concurrence antlers, ask to get rid of the most severe? When they of the judges of that Court, that the form of the proceedings mere suffering from other penal laws, and did not was according to the law. But it was said that Mr. O'Connell ask for a removal of the Established Church, was had not been guilty of a conspiracy, for the Noble Lord said that a reason why they did not desire its removal ? that conspiracy was always secret and dark. Why, the same Why, I could give the Noble Lord an instance in his own argument might be applied to the cases of conspiracy which practice in that respect.

Mr. O'Connell, there would be an outbreak in Ireland. If that Hon. and Learned Gentleman had violated the law the Government would be neglecting their duty if they did not en force the law. Her Majesty's Ministers finding that such was the state of things in Ireland decided that they would not come to that House for additional powers, but that they would trust to the force of the common law for restoring order in Ireland. In consequence of this the late prosecutions were instituted. The Right Honourable Gentleman who had just sat down had said the law adopted in Ireland in the late trials was not the usual or ordinary law. The Right Honourable Gentleman said there were precedents to be found in the seventeenth century but not since. Th e Noble Lord opposite had designated it as " judge made law." With respect to this expression of the Noble Lord he could only say that if the Noble Lord meant that the indictment had been formed upon the common law, as declared and recognised by successive judges from the judgment-se a t, he (the Solicito r -General) perfectly agreed with him. The Noble Lord said he was no lawyer, but the Noble Lord knew enough of the law and constitution of this country, to convince him that the common law of England, as declared and recognised by the judger, was the security upon which the lives, the property, and the freedom of the people of this country mainly deended.

The form of the indict ment was almost in words the same, and upon it the defendants were convicted in this country, and were sentenced to imprison ment and fine. Why, since he (the Solicitor-General) had held the office he at present had the honour to fill, it had been his duty, at the last special commission in Stafford, to direct an indictment of a precisely similar kind. The Magistrates had committed the defendants for high treason, but he (the Soli eitor-General) did not treat the case as one of high treason, but indicted the parties for conspiracy.

This case was resumed this morning, but had not been brought to a conclusion when our paper went to press. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Edgar Ford, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged before Mr. Trail!, with forging the acceptance to a bill of exchange for 71. 4s. 6d., purporting to be the accept ance of Caroline Carpenter. Mr. Press stated that he had several money transactions with the prisoner previously to the present charge. That in the month of November, he (complainant) discounted the bill produced, dated the 7th of November, for 71. 4s. 6d., pur porting to be the acceptance of Caroline Carpenter. When the bill became due, the prisoner endorsed another bill to take the former one up, when it was ascertained that the acceptor's name to both were forgeries. This the complainant discovered by writing to Caroline Carpenter, who, on examin ing the bills, immediately pronounced them to be forgeries. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge, replied that lie should say nothing at present. As Mrs. Carpenter was not present, the prisoner was re manded.

Mr. Wilson gave on the occasion what he calls his selected entertainment, which contains many of those delightful old songs, humorous and pathetic, which he has made so peculiarly his own, and which he never gave with richer gusto than last evening, for he was in capital voice, and seemed to revel in the feeling and fun of the va rious strains with which he delighted his audience.

In the House of Lords, notice was given by Lord CAMPBELL that he would move the second reading of the Libel and Defamation Bill this day, in order to refer it to a Select Committee. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND the " Gaming Transactions Witnesses Indemnity Bill" was read a second time. Lord BROUGHAM brought in a Bill to continue the patent of Lord DUNDONALD, with regard to improve ments in steam-ships, for a further term of seven years. He at the same time announced that it was his intention to refer the Bill to a Committee of the House, and in the event of the Committee being satisfied with the evidence brought before it, the House should address the Crown on the subject, and the subject-matter being referred by the Crown to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the Crown should be empowered to grant a longer term. This to say the least, is a very round about way of doing business. The subject -matter to use the Parliamentary phrase, is first brought be fore the Lords, then it is referred to a Committee ; next to the QUEEN ; fourthly, to the Judicial Commi tee of the Privy Council ; fifthly, again to the Crown ; and after all, a doubt remained, whether the sub ject-matter should not also be referred to the other House. To common people these Parliamentary proceedings appear very absurd. Lord CAMPBELL concurred in the Bill, and then broached another subject for the Judicial Committee. He thought the Council should have the power of divorce a vincula main' inonii, which we translate a simple divorce. By giving this power, he said, the House would provide a remedy for the poor, which could be had only by the rich. The LORD CHANCELLOR was opposed to mixing up questions so different in one motion, and recommended Lord CAMPBELL to bring in a Bill on the subject of divorce, and it should have his best consideration. This is a happy intimation, and we hope Lord CAMP BELL will act upon it, for in all the glaring distinc tions between the laws for the rich and for the poor, there is none so glaring as that on the right of divorce. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE approved of the pro posed plan, because the law would be protective, not to one class as now, but to the whole country. Lord WHARNCLIFFE was opposed to the measure, and, after some observations from Lord REDESDALE, the Bill was laid on the table. The Metropolitan Improvements Bill was passed. In answer to a question from Lord RODEN, the LORD CHANCELLOR said that the judgment of the House in reference to Presbyterian Marriages in Ire land, would be given on Friday next. Lord MONTEAGLE brought before the House the importance of a railway to Holyhead. The Duke of WELLINGTON fully concurred with the Noble Lord in the importance of a speedy communication be tween England and Ireland, and said the Government were anxious to do everything in their power to for ward the measure. After some routine business the House adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of peti tions, Mr. P. BORTHWICK gave notice that, in Com mittee on the Poor-laws, he would move clauses to prevent the separation of man and wife above sixty years of age, and for out-door relief in certain cases. Mr. HUME gave notice, that he would this day move for a return of the number of Custom-house officers discharged on the discovery of the late frauds, and the penalties recovered. Mr. LABOUCHERE said he would, on Thursday next, bring under the notice of the House the exist ing commercial treaties with Brazil. In answer to a question from Mr. lIINDLEY, Sir R. PEEL said he had not so much leisure to read the newspapers as the Hon. Member, and had not seen a paragraph which stated that the Queen of OTAHEITE, had been deposed by the French Admiral. Leave was given to bring in Bills for the forma tion of branch lines connected with the Manchester and Leeds, and various other railways. Mr. DUNCOMBE put a question to the ATTORNEY GENERAL with reference to political associations and the press, but he got no satisfactory answer. Mr. EL:PIIINSTONE put a somewhat similar question, which met with the same fate. We cannot abridge the report, and refer our readers to the fencing of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, which excited much merriment on the Ministerial benches. Mr. HORSMAN resumed the adjourned debate on Ireland, and protested against the policy which her MAJESTY'S Government had pursued towards that country. He adverted with much effect, to the anomalous proceedings of the Crown during the State trials, to the present smothered hostility of the Irish nation, and to the calamities which befal the empire by refusing to treat the Sister Country as an integral portion of the United Kingdom. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, the Secretary of the Ad miralty, followed, and made a liberal and judicious speech for a man in office. He thought the Catholic clergy should be paid for educating the people. He rejoiced to see the kind feeling which prevailed during the whole debate towards the Catholics of Ireland; and he believed he spoke the sentiments of the Go vernment, as well as his own, when he said they were anxiously earnest, and at once, to effect the improve ment of their common country. After a few words from Mr. SMYTHE, in favour of conciliating the Irish nation, Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, one of the traversers, addressed the House, and was listened to with much attention. He defended the Irish Catholic clergy, and though a " convicted conspirator," as he had been styled by some Honourable Gentleman opposite, he would, before he returned to Ireland to meet the vengeance of his pro secutors, announce that he would continue to exert himself with more ardour and zeal than ever to incur their vengeance still farther by serving his native country. His speech altogether showed much spirit, and, at the same time discretion, and evidently made an impression on the House. The great speech of the night was made by Mr. MAC- AuLA Y. When on a fit subject, and in a happy mood, he has no competitor in either House for eloquence and effect. Last night he was fortunate in both, and his powerful denouncement of the wrongs inflicted on Ireland, and the unwise policy of the present rulers towards that unhappy country, told with more than ordinary force. Sir Wm. FOLLETT tried what he could to turn the tide in a different direction, but was unequal to the task. The debate was again adjourned, and the House rose at a Quarter to One o'Clock. Mr. MAcAuw's speech last night in the House of Commons on the question of Ireland is one of the most masterly—the most triumphant displays of min gled argument and eloquence that even he has ever made. Tracing the sad and dark history of Irish oppression from the earliest periods down to the pre sent day, he showed, beyond the power of refutation, how much just cause of complaint the sister-country has had for centuries against England; and how little has been done by the PEEL Ministry—compared with what ought to have been done—for the last three or four years, to redress her undeniable grievances. " As to your executive measures," said the Right Hon. Gentleman, with indignant emphasis, " they are all of the same sort—an increase of the number of soldiers, and the erection of barracks." These, we may just remark by the way, were always fa vourite expedients of the Tories—their panacea for all sorts of national evils. Did the people, goaded by famine and desperation, make loud and fierce complaints against the Government, and demand, as a matter of constitutional right, the at tention of Parliament to their case—the only satis faction they got from the Tory rulers of the day, was a large increase of the standing army ? Did they hold energetic public meetings, and express them selves at those meetings in a manner more remarkable for its strength than its complaisance, they were re warded for their frank, plain-speaking by a barrack be ing instantly run up in every district where the people had most distinguished themselves by their impassioned sincerity ? No matter what might be the grievance, the remedy was invariably the same. As Doctor SANGRADO treated all maladies alik e — an d w h ether _consumptive or r h yp oc hondriacal —gouty or p h l i e s th p o a r t i i o eit s s an wereguine o o l r d ho;poyohn ou o ng d dyspeptic—put them all through a vigorous course of bleeding and hot water; so our sapient Tory rulers never resorted to any otherremedial process than that of an increase of soldiers and a multiplication of bar racks. And just as they acted years ago, they still continue to act—at least as regards Ireland. She complains of misgovernment, and by way of doing away with her cause of complaint, the Irish Executive accommodates her with a vast increase of troops, repairs all the old, useless forts on the banks of the Shannon, claps an extra sentinel at th e C as tl e gates, and sends a military force, without their dinner, on a hurried expedition to Waterford ! And thus acting, our sagacious rulers conceive that they are laying the foundations of just and enlightened go vernment in the sister-country! Was ever folly— was ever infatuation equal to this ? Is it a Sir ROBERT PEEL, or is it a doting purblind old woman that is at the head of affairs ? We confess we are somewhat puzzled to answer this question. The " voice is the voice of JAcoB, but the hands are the hands of ESAU." Mr. MACAULAY went on to remark—" And now fur your future measures. 'With respect to your legisla tive ones, it is true you propose a Bill for th e registra- tion of Irish voters, coupled with an increase of the franchise. But what the provisions of that measure are, we cannot as yet foresee ; all we do know is, that the subject is one on which it is impossible for you to legis late at once with credit toyourselves and with benefit to the public ; all that we can say with confidence is, that the measure must either be destructive to the re presentative principle in Ireland, or to the remnant of your own character." This phrase " remnant" is very felicitously applied. It is indeed but a " rem nant"—and that a miserably meagre and tattered one —that Ministers have left of character. And yet Sir ROBERT PEEL once took pride to himself in the House of Commons, for being " clothed in the mantle of his own integrity!" We should be sorry to hear of him walking down Parliament-street clothed in no more substantial raiment, for his appearance, under such " untoward" circumstances would approximate rather too closely to that of ADAM before the Fall, when he walked abroad in all the beauty of unsophis ticated nature. Mr. MACAULAY closed by far the most eloquent and impressive speech that has been delivered this session, by some allusions to the Pro testant Church Establishment in Ireland is hich were conspicuous not less by their point and cogency, than by the sincere, manly, and enlightened spirit that per vaded them. By the New York packet-ship Sheridan we have received a report of the proceedings in the Senate, on the 24th ult., in relation to a discussion incidentally connected with the resolution proposed by a Mr. SEMPLE, " to give Great Britain notice that the joint occupancy of the Oregon territory shall terminate in twelve months." The special debate of the 24th ult., in Committee of the whole House, on the state of the Union," was on the resumed consideration of a report made on the previous day from the Committee on foreign Affairs, by a Mr. INGERSOLL, " declaring it inexpedient for Congress at this time to act in any manner on the subject." Any exhibition more un becoming the dignity of a deliberative body--any expositions of principles more politically dishonest— any aspirations at statesmanship more profoundly contemptible than those elicited on this occasion, we have never been called on to deprecate. The " Ore gon" is a question upon which it seems a canon of Yankee patriotism that every good citizen of the United States is bound to dement himself without loss of time. It appears to be the touchstone of their democratic nationality—the Shibboleth to determine the purity of their jealous Anglophobia. In ap roaching it, the plain, matter-of-fact man of business, and the ambitious high-flying republican, equally lose sight of all outlying considerations touching the relations of their country with our's, and the relative authority, rank, and power of the two nations, on the result of any comparison which can be instituted be tween them. They will challenge that comparison spontaneously, and the amusing result they arrive at is, that it is greatly in favour of their own federal strength and grandeur ! The very terms of a notice to such a Power as Great Britain, that the joint oc cupation of a certain territory by her subjects and those of the United States, "shall terminate in twelve months"- r --implying, of course, that the intentions or views of Great Britain in such a matter would not avail for one moment against the simple decree of Mr. SEMPLE and his party—are a whimsical text enough for any commentary. And, to be sure, this absurdity was drawn out into some exquisite fooling in the speeches of the Mr. OWEN and Mr. WENTWORTH, who followed. But all the excitement and vanity, the vaporing and folly (at which we cannot but laugh in spite of our better judgment, on account of their grotesque extravagances), do not conceal, and are not even intended to conceal, the rancorous hatred, the vindictive envy, the snarling malice, with which these noisy " legislators" regard the " supreme among the nations," from whence, —after a fashion—their own people and institutions have descended. Here we have, for example, Mr. OWEN moving, by way of amendment, the expediency of Congress 0 now" acting in the matter. He is pleased to assume, when reminded that our Minister, Mr. PACKENHAM, charged with the duty of treating on this subject, had not yet arrived out in America, " that no benefit could reasonably be expected to result to that country from negotiation ;"—an instructive specimen of legislative candour, and of a dispassionate disposition to examine the question in all its bearings with a statesmanlike absence of prepos session ! But he is not unprepared to meet the diffi culties that may arise out of such a course ;—not he ! " If," said he, "to give notice to Great Britain that she could no longer occupy with us the valley of the Columbia—if that were a cause of war, then war must come ; it might come sooner, it might come later ; but come it must at last." And this sentiment is so present throughout the whole of the exhibition made by Messrs. OWEN and WENTWORTH . , that we are compelled to notice and reply to it. But let us first note a little more the bellicose music of Mr. OWEN'S penny trumpet. Having asked how England would check the emigra tion to Oregon ; whether she proposes to build along the summit of the rocky mountain range " a Chinese wall of demarcation," (!) and whether she will say to the spirits of the western wilderness (i. e. the intending .squatters), " thus far shall you go, and no further ;" his impetuous oratory overleaps his Anglo -Chinese -American masonry, and the heads of his western wilderness worthies, at a bound. Under a grand melo-dramatic access of sublimely confused imagery, the wall changes successively into a moun tain eagle, a Sioux pony, and a wild goose ! Such, at least, is our translation of what probably may be current in the Union for genuine " States paper" oratory; but which, " on this side the Atlantic," as well as " of the Pacific" (to borrow Mr. OWEN'S and rejected e cnt noisy s yb ourtwaddle dd I s e c schoolboys, o y s ipohrr the a s phraseology), l o mostg3) , worthless vldb e at tempted to be palmed upon a credulous public : would " When they could control the mountain eagle in his upward course to the sun ; when they could check the wild horse of the prairie in his impetuous career ; when they could quench in the bird of passage that instinct which bids her up and away, then they might expect to set mete or bound to the spirits of the West this side of the Pacific." Certainly, if these wilderness gentlemen can be negotiated with only by parties pialified to fulfil such conditions, Lord ABERDEEN must lose no time in securing the taming powers of Mr. CROSS and Mr. VAN AM:HAIGH'. And even then, the difficulties to be encountered would not be mastered. It seems that " a leading London journal (not a Ministerial organ, however), had lately asserted that England was re solved to arm the Indian tribes in her cause." Where upon, exclaims the speaker— " Let that threat be carried into effect. Let those Indians be armed, let the first blood follow the blow of the tomahawk, and would the people wait their tardy legislation before they rushed to the rescue ? Let the news of a massacre on the banks of the Columbia pass over our land, and their armed occupation' project for the protection of Oregon would be but an idle form. It soon would be occupied—an armed occupation, too. By whom ?" Aye ! Now for it. The description is harrowing. But first, like the most skilful orators of antiquity, he tells us whom the dragon's-teeth crop will not fructify into : " They will not be smooth-chinned, nicely trimmed, and uniformed cadets from West Point." Alas for West Point ! Its little band of smooth chinned cadets are not destined to give it immortality That lot is reserved for certain stalwart old back woodsmen of "rather" unsettled habits; and for a goodly company of young fellows with similar va grant propensities, who must be, moreover, "lllor monites." For Mr. OWEN will not let them pass for " fierce young hunters," only, " with musket and belt," but he tells us they are also hunt ing up, like the new sectaries, the mystic celebrities of the Old Testament. They are "Nimrod hunters." Now if Nimrod was " A mighty hunter, for his game was man," how much more intense must be the sport of these squatters who are hunting NIMROD ! " But by veteran pioneers —men from whom old age, though it whitened their locks, could not steal their strength and fire ; by fierce young hunters, who had heard the war-whoop in their cradles, and who burned to avenge the death of their fathers ; by parties of Nimrod hunters, who, with their belt on their arm and their musket on the shoulder feared nothing, white or black, in the shape of man." At the close of this balderdash we find a Mr. C. J. INGERSOLL reinforcing the eulogium of these won drous people, " fearing nothing white or black in the shape of man," by ejaculating " (in his seat)—nor of woman either." Whether this specimen of Yankee chivalry was intendel as of general application to the sex, or more personally to the authority and station of an Illustrious Lady, we are not competent to de cide. In either case its delicacy and spirit are charm- ing. But we eannot afford further space for sue' truculent nonsense : though this bit, in which Mr WENTwowrn is made the expounder of the intentions of Providence, is too rich to be wholly omitted : " No ! England had taken her last inch on this conti•. nent ; in future, instead of gaining more, she might lose what she had. She might think to get California, but it was all a vain delusion. God (according to Mr. TV.) had never made America to be the slave of Great Bri tain ; her last foot of territory was Canada, and that would go by and by." And again : " All he wished was, that she would but once try to get Oregon, and set oa her Indians upon our settlers. She might meet with success for the first few years, but there would come rushing over the rocky mountains such a force as would drive her into the sea. Some other Jackson would arise to defend the mouth of the Oregon, as the first had defended the mouth of the Mis sissippi." This last sentence, we believe, supplies the key to the incessant tendency against which we have so often to protest, of too many American legislators, civilians, officers of both services, and editors of public journals, to indulge in their offensive vitupe ration of Great Britaini and their own still more offensive self-glorification. They persuade them- selves, because — of the disgraceful misconduct or in- capacity of some British commanding officers at the affair of New Orleans, and the easy results which their General JACKSON was allowed to realise of that day of disastrous blundering, that laurels, thick as bilberries, will fall to their share in any and every future encounter w ith " the Britishers." They should know better; and if the war for which they so in solently clamour do break out, we venture to predict they will be taught better. It would not even require the veteran and disciplined troops of our regular army to read them this lesson. The Canadian Militia discomfited in a few hours hundreds of American military adventurers, who crossed the border with a reputation formidable as that which the Ambricari papers gave to their sympathizer-general VAN RENSELAER ; and returned, after feats and defeats of equal calibre with those of that wondrous Bobadil. But there is a party in the United States who seem determined to provoke a war—with our naval superio rity too ! The defenceless seaboard of the United States, the exposed frontier of their great trading capitals, the dismantled condition of their forts, would give them pleasant odds in a contest which should sub ject them to the visits of our steam-navy ! Let the United States undertake a war with Great Britain, and it would require a century to retrieve the de struction of property, force and materiel, which, in a single year, we should have visited on their coasts from New York to the mouths of the Mississippi. Most of the Paris papers publish the intelligence brought by a merchant vessel from the Pacific, an nouncing the deposition of Queen POMARE, and the occupation of Tahiti by Admiral DOPETIT THOUARS. The news which appeared in The Sun on Monday, is generally believed at Paris, and also generally ap proved of. Indeed, no other result could be expected. It is the natural course of events. The savage race is invariably overpowered by the civilised, or, as in North America, retires like the wild beasts of the field on the approach of man. The Journal des Debats gives a long account of the affair in a letter from a correspondent of the name of GossE. This writer evidently attributes the quarrel to the intrigues of Mr. PRITCHARD, the missionary, and the jealousy of England ; but beyond the fact of the occupation of the country, his remarks are entitled to little credit. The letter concludes in the following pompous style : " Queen Pomare has ceased to reign, and we now stand on French soil. The flag of the English consulate was imme diately struck. A large number of natives had assembled before the residence of Mr. Pritchard, who was haranguing them with great vehemence ; his exhortations did not, how ever, appear to have much success. In the evening the town had resumed its usual tranquillity ; the men smoked their cigars with the same carelessness, and the women grinned and showed their white teeth, as though they had not in the morning been present at a revolution. The Governor- General was installed on the Bth, and proclaimed the Council of the Government, which was composed of M. D'Aubigny, captain of the corvette, Lieut. Clon, and M. Moerenhout, ex- C cnsul of France. A proclamation, addressed to the inhabi tants, assured them security for their persons and their pro perty, and the free exercise of their religious worship. Papaiti is declared a free port ; no anchorage dues will be claimed, nor any custom-house duties ; pilot dues will alone be demanded. '['he French flag floats over this fine country, which reminds one of the poetic descriptions of Bongainyille." The Paris journals contain no news from Madrid, and indeed for some time no intelligence from that quarter worthy of credit mey be looked for, as the Spanish Government has stopped all the private cor respondence with the Liberal papers. The French funds remained stationary, the Three per Cents. being quoted on Sunday at 82f. 40c. The Judicial Committee of the Queen's Privy Counci sat this morning, to hear appeals from the Colonies am from the Prerogative Court. Lord Campbell, Mr. Pem• berton Leigh, and other Lords, were present. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. A fair business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, at previous rates. Speculators took 1,500 bales, the entire sales consisting of 5,000 bales, viz.-30 Egyptian, at 70. ; 50 Bahia, at 61d. ; 50 Maranham. at 61d. to 64d. ; 300 Surat, at 4d. to qd. ; and the rest American, at sid. to 64d. The leading Railway Shares continued heavy, and there was not much inquiry for the others. Grand Junction were 225 ; Birmingham Quarter, 26/ ; Brighton, 43 ; South Western Eighths, 311; Manchester and Birmingham, 401; North Mid land Thirds, 29 ; Paris and Lyons, 2/. 16s. 6d. ; Ditto and Orleans, 321 ; South Eastern, 36 ; Ditto New, 361. The additional advices received from the West Indies, Canada, and the United States, do not contain any facts of interest beyond those quoted in other columns of The Sun. A good deal of business has been done this morning in the Funds. The Commissioners bought 20,0001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 98i, which is the present quotation. Consols for Account are a shade lower than they were yesterday after.. noon. The heavy Stocks and Exchequer bills are in request. For Bank Stock 195 has been again paid. That there will be some concessions, though perhaps slight, in favour of the Joint-Stock Banks on the renewal of the Charter of the Bank of England appears to be rather certain, but it is not thought that the main privileges of the Corporation will be interfered with. It may be formed into a single Branch of Issue. The alterations in the Foreign Funds have been slight to day. Spanish Consols are at 234, Passive at 54 to 1, and the Three per Cents. at 33. Portuguese Converted have varied from 44i to 45k. DutchTwo-and-a-Half per Cents. have been firm at 1021. Brazilian Stock has touched 80, but the price now is 79*. The price of Colombian Stock is lower, namely, at 131 to 131. Mexican Deferred have receded a shade. In other Bonds there is not much variation to notice this morning. In the Railway Share market, with but a few exceptions, prices have somewhat drooped.. York and North Midland have advanced to 68 premium, York and North Midland at 154 premium, and Birmingham and Gloucester at 29 dis count. London Joint-Stock Bank Shares have been sold at 31 premium, and Real del Monte Unregistered Mining Shares at 44 to 4a. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)
