TENHAM have been filled up, and for this year at least there is no prospect of the separation of the political and judicial functions of the Lord High Chancellor of England. We confess that this unexpected and un necessary delay in one of the most important legal reforms that could be brought forward has surprised and grieved us. It is true that the greater portion of the session has elapsed, and that the middle of July is rather late to bring forward any measure deserving of serious consideration, but a considerable period has already rial,sed since Lord COTT/INITAM retired from the active (lades of his high position, and a judicious arrangermnt might easily have been matured in the interval. Indeed the Pre mier distinctly promised that a full explanation would before this have been rendered of the Minis terial intentions respecting the highest judicial office in the realm. Although we fully recognize the general objections to keeping the Great Seal in commission, and taking other judges from their ordinary duties, in order to discharge the functions of a Lord Chancellor, we must acknowledge our full participation in the regret expressed by Lord BROUGHAM, on Friday, at the termination of that commission. Every arrange ment consequent upon its formation had been entered into. A distinguished Queen's Counsel had taken the place of B.iron ROLFB, who had been excused from going the circuit, in consequence of the new labours imposed on him —labours for the competent and satisfactory performance whereof that Learned Judge is so emi nently qualified. In consequence of that arrange men!, there could have been no urgent want of a Lord Chancellor, at all events until November, and surely , the interests of the suitors could not have been en dangered in the hands of such men to Lord LAtiG" DALE and Baron ROLFE, even though the continued indisposition of Sir LANCELOT SHADWELL should deprive his coadjutors of his valuable assistance for the remainder of the vacation. There was, therefore, no necessity whatever for a decision so hasty as that which astonished the public last week by the appointment of the late Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Sir THOMAS WlLDE—perhaps we should now rather term him Baron ELTRAM—to the Lord Chancellorship of England, and the other changes consequent upon that appointment. _ _ _ We should not feel greatly disposed to quarrel with the promotion of that eminent Judge, although he had been a common-law practitioner during his distinguished career at the bar, and bad but little, if any, experience of the practice of courts of equity, and could not, therefore, be well acquainted with the nature of the reforms so urgently required in that department, seeing that the arrangement is of a mere temporary character, and that the learned gentleman has accepted the office subject to any alte rations that may hereafter be decided on. But, un fortunately, the entire transaction looks badly. It has all the appearance of a rank job—a matter for which the Whig Administration are supposed to entertain a decided penchant, and also because the filling up of the various offices interposes new difficulties in the way of the anticipated reforms tha t were so earnestly desired, as well by "the profession" as by the public generally. It is impossible not to perceive that the vacancy in the Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas constituted an important portion of the arrangement, and formed no trivial part of theain ducement which led to the selection of Sir T. WILDE. If the choice had fallen on Sir ROBERT MOUNSEY ROLFE, a puisne barony only would have been vacated, which Sir Jour; JERVIS might not have been satisfied to accept. The Learned Gentlemen yearned for the additional dignity and additional emolumert that could be conferred by a chiefdom in place of a subordinate judicial situation in one of the superior courts. None of the chief Judges had been equity [ practitioners, but that little difficulty could be got over, and the interests of the community sacrificed in order to gratify the legitimate ambition of so steadfast an adherent, that a gentleman who had so long been fortunate enough to retain a seat in the Commons House of Parliament might be Chief Jus tice rather than Baron JERVIS. An opinion might undoubtedly be entertained that patronage of such a character should be exercised rather for public than private advantage, but " the Liberal Go vernment" were far above such vulgar prejudices, and " nobly dared" for the elevation of their devoted follower, to the great admiration of expectant place-hunters, but the bitter disappointment of the people. Whatever might have been the causes that led thereto, Sir Joliet JERVIS i 3 now Lerd Chief Justice of the Court of her Majesty the QUEEN, of her Common Pleas, and the worthy and independent electors of the ancient city of Chester will be bound to provide themselves with a discreet burgess to act as their representative. Of other appointments consteuent upon the change we are happy to be enabled to speak in terms of ua crialified approbation. Sir JOHN ROMILLY has well deserved the high distinction he has received. That amiable and learned gentleman has shown himself a worthy successor of his illustrious father, whose name has been beloved and honoured by the British nation. He entered boldly on the path of legal reform, and traversed it with no tardy or linger ing footsteps. The technical and formal impedi ments that discouraged men of inferior minds were speedily surmounted, and, although young in years, he has already attained a reputation second to none of his distinguished predecessors; his well merited elevation, as well as that of his talented and liberal successor, Mr. A. COCKBURN, will be received with cordial approbation throughout the country. We rejoice, indeed, that the brilliant display which the latter gentleman recently made on the question of cur foreign policy, as well as his undeviating and consis tent liberality on all occasions, since he obtained a seat in the Legislature, has been so promptly re warded. He will make a fitting associate for Sir JOHN ROMILLY, an able coadjutor in devising and bringing into operation the legal rcfernas which are still so urgently required by the country. In another part of to-day's impression will be found a communication from an eminent Irish divine, whose name is never mentioned without reverence in his own country. It is indeed refreshing to find a vene rable pastor possessed of that capacious intellect, en lightened philanthropy, and enlarged Christianity, which are the acknowledged attributes of Dr. TIGHE GREGORY, lifting his pious voice in behalf of civil and religious liberty, and in marked condemna tion of that narrow and perverse spirit of bigotry which would exclude a loyal and industrious portion of our fellow-citizens from a free participation in poli tical privileges under the allegation, at once ludicrous and disgusting, that their admission into the Legisla ture would unehristianize the British Constitution. We are not surprised that the " National Club"— whatever be the composition or the locality of that Boeotian band—should take advantage of the tempo rary success which attended Lord ASHLEY'S most mis chievous motion as an incitement to hound on the mo dern Pharisees in their gloomy crusade against the merciful influence of Christian charity. "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light," is a text which the fanatics of the present movement would gladly expunge from the behests of the Divine Founder of our faith—the pure incarnation of the Charity of GOD. How often were the accents of reproof di rected by the Blessed Reformer of the ceremonial code against the narrow-minded and formally over righteous, those " tigers of morality" who, prototypes of our own Puritanical progenitors, would have executed a merciless doom upon the "erring sister's shame," upon which HE, the judge of all the earth, shed the balm of pardon and peace, and who, emu lated by our Puritanical contemporaries, were out raged in their distorted notions of religion by the works of beneficence and of benefit performed on the sacred day by That who declared that " the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath But if the spirit of mercy and brotherhood which pervades the inspired pages of the New Testament be distasteful to the rigidly righteous— if they look upon the distinct and repeated precepts of him "who spake as man never spake" but as the im politic effusions of an amiable weakness—how is it that they, more manifestly inclined to draw monition from the terrors of the Old Covenant than from the mercies of the New, are not led to regard with a more generous feeling the once specially favoured "people of Heaven ?" We might, were this a fitting place, multiply texts of a similar spirit to those which our reverend cor respondent bas adduced from the prophets of old, who were the immediate organs of the Divine voice t t o ha a t ll , t ‘ i a m erv es ic an e dwahllienhati. p ons. erf ß e c u t t let fre etdhoenicr reconcileonent s o f these matters to their consciences as they may. Be 1 it for us to deplore that sad self-blinding of the in tellect, that stiff-necked acerbi a ty ro w a ohif ch. on, d would rule iron, i n England thean e a consciences s e time, to r e o fjre j o i ce others c w ith that there is ye t an amount of sterling Christia n sent i ment and com monnadt h sense which will prevent these gloomy zealots from rivetting their intolerant dogmas on thene z c el ks o o ts f their fellow-subjects, and scandalizing the gentle creed of "good will towards men." The Jewish Disabilities Bill has been specially re served by the Premier from the sacrifice which be has found it expedient to make of several measures towards the close of the session. In a praiseworthy spirit he has determined that the year shall not be suffered to pass over without a struggle, and we trust a successful one, to have this important act of enfranchisement flatted by the upper branch of the Legislature. The House of Lords must labour under the influence of a spirit of most impolitic perversity if they persist in offering an obstruction to a rational and popular enactment, which must in any event at no dis tant day become part and parcel of the law of the land. The day for aristocratic obstinacy has passed away, and we should deeply regret to see the Hereditary Chamber pursuing a course of infatuation calculated to bring odium on its influence in the Councils of the State, and to place it in such odicus contrast with the Representative House as must ultimately tend to sap the foundation of its legitimate weight, and bring into question among the masses the utility or expediency of its existence. Its members should re flect that the question of the admission of Jews into Parliament is one which mainly, we might almost say exclusively, affects the constitution of the House of Commons, and that to oppose the reiterated expres sion of the conviction of that body is in reality exer cising an impertinent interposition. It is the House cf Commons that would be affected by the proposed measure, and if it be acceptable in that quarter it is surely no proper, not to say prudent, proceeding, on the part of the self-representatives on the scarlet benches, to presume upon a few immaterial triumphs which they have recently contrived to obtain over her MAJESTY'S present advisers, and to signalise the termination of the Parliamentary session of 1850 by a narrow sighted refusal to carry into operation an extension of political justice, the necessary conse quence of the progress of social ideas, and in accord ance with the liberal spirit of the British Consti stitution and the brotherly influence of the Chris tian faith. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have receivcA the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Ministers of the PE,ESIDENT are wonderful men ; they have accomplished that which at first sight appeared impossiiple, they have managed to unite, the Debats and the Constitutionnel in a league with the Credit, the National, and the Slide against them selves and the majority, whilst at the same time they have gained the support of M. PIERRE LEROUX whose vanity is greatly flattered by Ole new provision which compels all jeurnali3ts to sign the articles which they write. The law of the press is a declaration of war on the part of the Assembly against literature and literary men. It is, as the Debats expresses it, a law of hatred, of the hatred of crass ignorance against learning and its professors. That it is not solely directed to the destruction of political writers is evident from the clause which was proposed by M. BAROCHE on Saturday, which went to impose a stamp duty on all periodicals whatsoever, and on all books issued in numbers, a clause the passing of which he declar td the Ministry considered to be of vital importance.. Notwithstanding, however, the clause was rejecte d by a majority of 112; the numbers being for the clause, 227, against it, 339 ; majority againsit the Ministry, 112. This is the severest c'neck they have ever received. In th 3 course of tthe discussion M. DE L .i.ROCHFJAC.• QUELIN declared that his friends had been induced to vote for the electoral law by false representation 3; that they had no idea it would have been a measure of such wholesal e disfranchisement ; that they re pented them of th a vote, and he gave notice that he should move its repeal. The fact is, the Legitimatists have discovered that the Ocleanists have tricked them, that it id the intention of the latter to j oin the Bona parties, in ord sr to prolong the term of the power of the PRESIDENT, and perhaps to declere him emperor for life, with the Count DE FARIs for his successor, and they have accordingly seceded from the majority. A letter which appears in the SUcle, tied which is addressel to the Emperor SOULOUQUE by M. Louis DESZCOrERS, would seem to show that the Legitimatists are not far wrong in their ideas con cerning the advent of an Imperial regime. It says— " Prince, please answer me frankly ere tollowing ques tion—ls it not for :you thqt Dr. Daras, the upholsterer, of the quay Conti. is executing, from designs of M. Ilugues Riwat, by M. Fourdinois, maker of sculptured furniture, rue Amelot, 46, tan complete furniture of a throne-room, pith an imperial chair, baldaquin, talacurets, gilded fau'euils, birds, crowns, &c.? I fancy so, notsithatand• ing that the arms and ciphers are not exactly yours." The PRESIDENT has gone to Coenpeigne. The differences between Generals D'il AUTPOUL and CHANG ARNIER still continue, and are now carried to an extent which !must be ere long subversive of the discipline of the tinny. The Nationa-! says— " A few days since the Minister of War wrote direct to one of the colonels of the garrison of Paris, ordering him to send him , dome information relative to an officer. Tile colonel replied direct to the Minister. General Changarnier was informed of the fact, and punished the colonel with four days' arrest 'for having corresponded di rectly with the Minister of War,' and he made known this punishment to the generals and the commanding cfficers of regimerts by an order of the day. The colo nel doubtless expected, or at least he had a right to ex pect, that this punishment would be taken off by the Minister whose n.cler he had executed, and General Changarnier might fear being punished in his turn or reprimanded; but General d'Hautpoul thought proper to allow the former to take place, and did not breathe a word of the latter. It is thus that imbordinAtion and discipline is understood at the War-office and at the Tuileries. Nothirig can be more soldier-like, nothing more edifying, and nothing more assuring, also, for the generals and color els, who are incessantly subjected to this cross-fire betvreen the orders and the pretensions of Generals d'Hautpoul and Changarnier." The committee on General GRAMMONT'S proposi tion for the transferring the seat of government out of Paris has recommended, by a majority of twelve to three, that it should be taken into consideration by a special commisaio 1. General FAnvi ER'S proposition for transferring ABD-EL-KA.DER to Alexandria or St. Jean d'Acre has been rejected by the Committee of Parliamentary Initiative. A proposition for the prorogation of the National Assembly from the 11th of August to the 11th of October has been laid on the table. The second balloon ascent of M.

The Minister of Spain in Paris received the follow ing telegraphic dispatch from Madrid yesterday evening : " Behobia, July 13, ten o'clock, P.M. " THE MINISTER 01? THE INTERIOR TO THE MINISTER OF SPAIN. "Madrid, July 13, balf-past one, P.M. " The Queen of Spain was delivered yesterday (Fri day) at four o'clock, P.M., of a Prince, who died a few minutes after. The health of the Queen is good. Transmit this news to our Ambassador in London as well as to the Northern Courts." SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 9th have been received. By a curious mistake, the telegraph ordered to transmit from Bayonne the intelligence of the death of "the statesman PEEL," substituted for the name of PEEL that of PALMELLA, and in consequence the Madrid journals are filed with speculations as to the effect which the death of PALMELLA may be supposed to produce in Portugal. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 6.—Three per Cents., 331 ; Five per Cents., 12 3-16. Exchange on London, SO 40. PORTUGAL. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 9th. The Portuguese Government admit the American claims to the amount of 91,000 dollars, but positively refuse to admit the claim for the loss of the General Armstrong unless under positive coercion, or by the arbitration of the King of SWEDEN, or the Sovereign of any other maritime state. Mr. CLAY'S reply in sists on the admission of the claim for the General Armstrong. The American frigate and steamer were still in the Tagus. Commodore MARTIN was also there with the Prince Regent, Leander, Phaeton, Arethusa, Arro gant, Encounter, and Conflict. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert had been much admired at Lisbon, where she had arrived at half• past two, P.M. on the 29th ult., after making the passage of 760 miles from Plymouth in sixty-five hours, with a current against her the whole run of thirty-seven miles, giving her average speed as 12.2 knots. She went over the Lisbon bar at half-past ten, A.M. on the 3d instant, and entered the Mole at Gibralter at ten minutes before two r.m.on the 4th. GERMANY. DISMISSAL OF HAYNAU. A letter from Vienna of the 11th instant announces the dismissal of Marshal HAYNAu, in conformity with the report of the Council of Ministers. Although the decree is dated the 6tb, the question had again been considered in Council on the night of the 10th, when it was finally resolved to give official publication to the decree. This affair has created an extraordinary sensation. A letter from Pesth of the sth, in the Austrian Lloyd's,. says :—" The sentence rendered on Satur day last by the council-of-war has just been published. Oat of thirty ex-Deputies, twenty six have been acquitted. Amongst these latter are BEZEREDY and PATAY. J. MADARASZ has been condemned to 9 years' hard labour, RADOCZI to 12 years of the same punishment ; and KUBINGI and OLLAU to 15 year s ' confinement in a fortress. The property of MADARASZ and Ranoczt has been con fiscated. The Voss Gazette of Berlin says that the Aus trian Cabinet has made the following propositions to the Prussian Government :-1. That Prussia shall no longer refuse to recognize the validit y o f the old federal constitution in all its consequenc es ; 2. Th at Prussia shall consider the Congre ss o f F ran kf ort as th c ompetent authority for regulating th e Ger m • 3.

The Cologne Gazette publishes extracts from the note dated the szh July, of the Chevalier BUNSEN, the Prussian Ambassador to the Court of S-. Jsrnes's, protesting against the protocol on the Danish ques tion, signed by the Ministers cf Russia, France, and England. M. BUNSEN objects to the intention ma nifested in the protocol of incorporating the duchies with Denmark, as the idea of the states of which the King of DEFMARK is the head being the parts of a national Danish empire has never been admitted by any public act, or law, and that, on the contrary, it has always been opposed by Germany. The note then urges that no settlement of the Danish succession can take place without the con currence of Prussia, Austria, and the German Con federation. The note goes on to say that the protocol has been drawn up without the consent of, and in opposition to, Germany ; that it is unjust and illegal as taking a diplomatic view, not supported by any European treaty, namely, the integrity of the Danish Mo narchy, which means that Holstein comprises Lauenburg, and in ease of the extinction of the younger line, even Oldenburg, thus violating the incontestable rights of the Germanic Confedera tion. The note then objects to the proposed pro tectorate of England, France, and Russia ; affirms that the protocol has become inapplicable, now that peace is concluded between Prussia End Denmark ; and concludes by asserting that instead of leading to the pacification of the duchies, it will augment the difficulties, and will probably render Denmark more reluctant to make the just and necessary concessions. It is stated that the English Government, in a dispatch addressed to its ambassador at Copenhagen, has instructed him to notify to the Danish Govern. ment that England will feel called upon to protest against any military intervention on the part of Rus sia iga favour of Denmark. A similar communication is said to have been made to the Court of St. Peters burgh. The following, dated Berlin the 6th, has been ad dressed to the Lieutenancy of Schleswig-Holstein by the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs : The King's Government hastens to make known to the lieutenancy in general that peace between Denmark and Prussia, stipulating in the name of the Germanic Confederation, was signed at Berlin on the 2d. The undersigned sends herewith-1. The treaty of peace be tween Denmark and Germany of the 2d July; 2. A protocol between Prussia and Denmark of the sane date, containing transitory dispositions respecting the movements if Prussian troops; 3. A memoir which was remitted to the German Governments in sending them the treaty of pesee. The lieutenancy-general will see by these documents in what spirit the King's Government con cluded the peace, and hew much it desires to see the con ditions of it appreciated by Germany and by the duchies. The questions which gave rise to the war he teen Denmark and Germany are not, it is tree, solved by this peace ; they remain open, and abandoned for the present to a direr; solution between the Duchies and D:nmark, un'ess the Germanic Confederation shall de cide otherwise. Considering that it was not possible to arrive, on the basis of the preliminaries cf peace, at an undsrstanding as to the manner of looking at the ques tion, nor at measures on the condition of the duchies calculated t serve as the starting point to the establishment of a permanent state of things, the Prussian Government has had to abandon the idea of arriving by these means at a definitive solution of the questions in dispute. There remained. then, no other means of arriving at the conclusions of peace than that which has been followed. To judge by , he great aversion which public opinion in the duchies manifested against the stipulations contained in the pre liminaries, a simple pease which causes no prejudice to any of the rights of the country ought to be favourably received. Tee lieutenancy-general itself has several time; made known this disposition of the duchies to the King's Government, as also their ardent wish not to ;co a new organization imposed on them. The King's Go vernment could not refrain from respecting the wish thus expressed, as the interest it takes in the condition of the duchies, and in a pacificneioe which would be durable, and in conformity with their veritable interests, is very great. In consequeece, and although the point of view under which the preliminaries were drawn up pre sented for Prussia and Germany, in their European relations, advantages which it is eatirely impossible to disregard, Prussic has not insisted on their being carried into effect, but has confined herself to sacrificing none of the rights of the country, or of those of Germany, but to reserve in all respects and on all occasions the competency of the latter. Tho King's Government hopes that this manner of acting will be appreciated at its just value by the Duchies. The King's Government takes pleasure in recognising the conciliaeory manner in which the Lieutseancy-General conducted the mission of the men of confidence at Copenhagen. Proceedings for effecting a reconciliation with the Duchies are about to be made at Copenhagen. The King's Government recom mends the Lieutenancy to labour with all its power to cause the Duchies to accept these proceedings animated by the same sentiments, and to make all concessions compatilA with the rights and interests of the country, The King's Government believes it right to repeat that the cause of Schleswig-Holstein is also that of Germany, in so far as it is incumbent on those on whom hence forth will fell the task of directing it not to lose sight of the responsibility which the prosperity, and the in terior and exterior repose, of Germany impose on them. The King's Government does cot doubt that the Lieutenancy-General will not lose sight of this manner of looking at the question. " DE ECHLEINITZ." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS• CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK. A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool on Sa'urday, the sales being 25,000 bales, of which 4,500 were taken for export and 13,000 on speculation. Prices were still advancing.—Rlilway Shares were flat, with a further temdency of prices to decline. Owing to the brilliant weather and increased arri vals, the Corn Market is very heavy, and Wheat is Is, lower. The steamer from the United States has not yet ar rived. She is not one of the fastest on the line, how cser, and would proceed from New York. _ _ _ _ The Hamburgh mail of Friday last gives the quota tion for Bills on London at 13 8, and the price of gold at 433. In Exchanges a fair business was doing. Mo. ney was plentiful. Accounts from Messina state that the town had ex tended greatly its commercial relations since it was de clared a free port in October, 1848, with England, France, the North of Europe, the ports of the Black Sea, and even with the United States. The commerce of Messina is all conducted within a period of eight months annually. The chief exports are sulphur, oil, sill=, linseed, fruit, &c. Its imports are oven more im portant, including colonial produce, hides from Brazil and Australia, cloth from Germany, and the general ma nufactures of England and Belgium. French fabrics, notwithstanding their superiority, form but a small proportion of the imports, attributable to their dearness. We learn from France that further seizures have lately teen made of British fishermen trenching upon the grounds n.ar Havre. The suicide of Mr. Walter Watts, formerly of the GI Ibe Insurance-office, naturally excites attention once again to the circumstances which distinguished his career. and in no quarter hare we heard a successful attempt to justify the faulty system pursued at the office, or the neglect of the directors, whereby such enormous frauds could be accomplished, supposing, of course, that they are of the magnitude state 1. It is quite possible that we :hall hear very little more of the matter ; firstly, because whatever loss may have arisen has already been deducted from the profits; and secondly, because the wealth of the company enables it to bear a leas extending over so many years with perfect ease. As a precedent, however, the case is not one jot the less ob jectionable, and while such things are possible on a small scale even, one cannot feel surprised at the announcment, ever and anon, of startling frauds committed upon great establishments. What we contend is that where a per f,ct system of booking exists, and directors and auditors perf,:rrn the duty for which they are paid, such con tinuous plunder coal not be carried on. Isolated rob beries might occur, but they must be quickly accom plished._ _ _ _ The Funds have been much the same to-day, and the stets of the account, which has to be adjusted on Wed ne6,lay, chiefly influences prices. The idea seems still to be that the Bull speculators predominate, and this acts as a check upon the further rise which the eundance a money, the comparatively favour able c,:nmplexion of political affairs, and the ex cvllulee of our revenue, would otherwise be cal culated to produce. The French revenue has nen.,ibly improved, and promises well. Consols have bevn 961 -a- for Trans:'er, and 961 alternately buyers and at hers for August. Bank Stock has been at 211 to 2111. Exchegur-bills are 665. to and India Bonds 88e. to tt9i. premium. The Foreign Securities have been very inanimate again. Alexlean Bonds are 30, Peruvian at 81i- to 821, and Buenos Ayres et 56 to 568.

There is an increased business doing in Railway Shares, but generally at lower rates, as buyers supply the market, and the half-monthly account is rather bullish. The statements as to dividends, &c., to be made at the next nrletingii, still cause uncertainty. QUARTER TO THREE. Consols ... 96i Ditto Account 96i BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.) Nearly the whole of the country eneirkes held on Sa turday were somewhat active for English Wheat, the prices of which advanced is to 2s per quarter. Fine Foreign Wheat moved off freely, at a similar improve ment in value. In that of the middling and inferior qua lities no change took place. The sale for Barley and Malt was steady, while Flour improved 2e per sack, Oats, Beans, and Peas were held for more money. Letters from the Baltic and Black Sea ports state that Wheat was on the advance, owing to the favourable ad vices from this country. Up to our market last week the arrivals of all English grain were small. These from Ireland and Scotland were limited in the extreme. From abroad we received 20,088 quarters of Wheat; 13,114 ditto of Barley; 24,284 ditto of Oats; 866 ditto of Beans; 221 ditto of Peas; 767 ditto of Rapeamed; 105 ditto of sundry Seeds; 5,206 sacks and 1037 barrels of Flour. The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this morn ing's market. coastwise as well as by land carriage, from Essex and Kent, was very moderate—that from Cam bridgeshire, &e., trifling in the extreme, even for the time of year. The general quality of the samples we', however, good. Notwithstanding that, the stands were scantily filled with parcels of both red and white, the de mand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce—owing to the large importations of Grain and Flour from abroad, and the prevailing fine weather for the crops—ruled ex ceedingly heavy, and in some instances is per quarter less money was accepted by the factors before a clear ance could be effected. Several offers came to hand from the east coast to ship Wheats, but at prices too high for the speculators. Spring Corn has rapidly improved in appearance during the past week. We were somewhat extensively supplied with foreign Wheat, but a large portion of it was greatly out of con dition, and scarcely - fit for mixing with English qualities. A few somewhat large parcels of Dantzic changed bands at the late improvement in value, but the middling and inferior kinds were easier to purchase. The nominal top price of the best Town-made Flour was 40s per 2801bs. Foreign parcels were plentiful, and quite as dear as last week. No English Barley was on show, but the supply of foreign was large. Grinding and malting parcels were held at fully previous rates. In distil!ing sorts, rext, to nothing was doing. The quantity of Malt offering, ready for delivery, was comparatively Small. Oa the whole the demand for that article wait in a sluggish state, at late figures. We were well supplied with Foreign Oats; but the supply of those home-grown was limited. Selected parcels sold at full prices. In other kinds very little was doing. The transactions in Beans were limited, but we have no change to notice in their value. Peas met a slow sale, at last wet k's prices. Indian Corn and Meal stead y. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Since Monday last laru importations of foreign stock, especially those of Sheep, Calves, and Pigs, have taken place into the metropolis. The total arrival has amounted to 4 707 head, against 4,141 durirg the same period in 1849; 4,108 in 18t8; and 3,719 in 1847. The general quality of the supplies is good. MONDAY ITALY. We read the following in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of tha Bth :—" Our letters from the Ro magna inform us that the bind of Il Passatore has increased to an unusual number, that it invades both the Romagna and Tuscany, levies contributions, dis arms and incorporates piquets of revenue officers and soldiers in its ranks, and now, receiving con tinual increase from the des er ti on o f pon tifi ca l troops and dismissed functionaries, has assumed the colour of a strong political guerilla. Several engagements have been fought by it aga i ns t the Austrian troops ; . one, in particular, near Perugia, where the Austrians were beaten. The Tuscan Government, justly alarmed, has sen t t roops t o th e frontiers. The following anecdote is related :—A detachment of Tuscan Velites met with a party of the band of PASSATORE. The chiefs on both sides held a parley, in which the brigand told the Tuscan officer that he had no intention of spilling Italian blood, but that all he wanted was Austrian blood. If you choose,' added he, to fight us, do so we shall only defend ourselves.' The Tuscan officer, surprised at these setiments, retired. It is said that the . bands of R omagna are in secret communication with other b an d s i n t h e Ab ruzz i . That of PASSATORE i s about 700 men strong. The Austrian General has issue d a most severe pro clamation, similar to that o f General Marius's, in Calabria, in the time of N APOLEON, and threatening with court. martial 'whoever is guilty of affording shelter, water, or fire, to th e b r i gands, or even does not denounce their movements." Letters from Rome of the 4th, in the Costituzionale of Florence, state that the Austrians are actively for tifying Ancona, and that the F renc h are doing the same at Civita Vecchia. THE DEVONPORT ELECTION. ---01 1 Friday the was, indeed, attaotteldie t r h et a u t rn tb o e f Sir John . h c n a v, p ' town of Devonport received the i n t e lli gence that Sir John Romilly had been elevated to the office of Att orney -G enera l . Ye ry little excitement was, however, th e result, as no one be imagined . t i t t t awnays otauilnd Ron!, R.N , would come forward to oppose the elaims of Sir John Romilly, but the attempt was unsuccessful, very few believed the rumour, and most treated it as absurd. On Saturday morning the address of Sir John Romilly to the electors was issued, and posted round the borough. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Charles Brutton, o f E xet e r, from the sheriffs' office, arrived with the writ, and shortly after the usual proclamation was made by the . mayor. Ed war d S t. Aubyn, Esq., who appointed the election to take place on Wednesday next, at ten o'clock. At five o'clock Sir John Romilly arrived at To wnshend's London Hotel, from L on d on . In the course of the evening the Hon. Gentl eman met a number of his more active and influential supporters, when it was arranged that on Monday evening a meeting of elec tors should be held, for the purpose of hearing an address from Sir John Romilly, at Killingly's Prince George . Hotel public room, Stonahouse, and that on Tuesday evening he should address the constituency of the borough in the Guildhall. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION.— The news that Mr. Cockburn, M.P. for Southampton, was appointed Solicitor- General, was received in that town on Friday night by ex press. The writ was moved for in the House of Commons on Friday, and it was sent off by post the same night. It appears, however, to have been mis-sent to Alresford, from which place it was sent to Southampton by a special mes senger, and it arrived in time to be proclaimed on Saturday, and the day fixed for the election is Wednesday next. A large and influential meeting of Mr. Cockburn's friends took place in Southampton on Saturday night to adopt measures to ensure his re-election. A committee was organized, of which T. L. Harman and W. Brooks, Esqs., two gentlemen of the ultra-liberal party, were appointed chairman and hon. secretary. Committee rooms were taken and everything prepared in case of a Tory opposition. Mr. Cockburn will arrive in Southampton to-day, and it is expected that he will address a public meeting in that town this evening. A n opposition to his re election is not much expected. An address f:om Mr. Cockbnrn was issued to his late constituents n Saturday. CHESTER ELECTION.—The promotion of Sir J. Jervis leaves Chester without a representative. It is stated that Sir E. Walker, Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., or Mr. John Jervis, son of the new Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, will be the can lidate in the Liberal interest. A Protec tionist opposition is spoken of in the person of Mr. Egerton, a gentleman of considerable property residing in the neigh bourhood; but defeat is almost certain. DEATH OF R.

Fresh up to this morning's market, the receipts of home fed Beasts were on the increase, and of full average qua lity. Owing to the uVavourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the Beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotati,,ns of Monday last of quite 2d per Me. The highest figure for the best Scots was 3s 8d per 81b, and a total clearance was not effected. from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,400 Scots, Home-breds, and Short horns ; fron Lincoln shire, and Leicestershire, 900 Short-horns; from other parts of England, 400 tf various breeds; and om Scotland, 200 Horned and Polled Scots. There was an increase in the numt , er of Sheep, especially from the northern and eastern districts. For all breeds the demand was in a very sluggish state, and prices gave way 2d per 81bs. The test old Downs were selling at from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 810 s. In Lambs, the supply of which was large, only a limited business was transacted at a fall in value of 2d per 81bs. The priniest Down qualities of Lamb produced 4s 8d per Blbs. We were fairly supplied with Calves, which moved off slowly at last week's currencie?.
