Among the numerous impediments in the way of sanitary improvement not the least formidable, is that caused by the multiplici , y of changes required, and the uncertainty felt as to which of those alterations should have the precedence. Upon this subject our impression is that the readiest means of obviating the difficulty is to acquire some clear and accurate sense of the principal evils now injuriously affecting the health of the population. So long as these evils con tinue to be jumbled together in the public considera• Con, so long must there inevitably be confusion in the projects started for their removal. Out of all the mis cellaneous causes of illness and mortality, the more considerable must. be taken into account separately, so that the chief objects of reform should be ranged apart, under distinct and insulated categories. Then, but not until then, will the pathways of sanitary improvement be easily recognized in their various and somewhat eccentric ramifications. It must be remernbere4, for example, that amongst the promi nent requirements in the way of the proposed inno vation, .-Abe Governmeat will have especially and -severally to regard the want of ventilation; the want of drainage; the want of purer water for domestic consumption ; and the want of all those systems of organized cleanliness such as are secured by a more effective purification of the streets, and by the multiplication of such ad mirable establishments es the public baths and washhouses. Each of these necessities for the dimi nution of the general mortality must be regarded separately, and treated separately, though, of course, with a due reference to their ultimate association in a complete system. Ventilation, Iror example, in order to be rendered in any reasonable manner effectual, presupposes the discontinuance of intramural interments. Otherwise the atmosphere admitted more freely .into the dwellings of the corn- munity would only be enabled to diffuse the more rapidly the invisible poison with which it is impregnated, circulating through the homes of the people the pernicious vapours perpetually. arising. from the pestilential graveyards of our cities. In directly alluding to this essential priority of a change in the s)s,em of burial to a change in the system of THE. SUN, ventilation, an intelligent engineer has observed, in a tecent, treatise on the lett* subject (p. 182), " The Christian minister should remember that he has no right to expect his congregation to give lively atten tion to the subject on which he may be descanting, while they are subjected to the influence of an atmosphere body and soul depressing."* Again, as to the want of proper drainage in crowded localities, such as the various districts of the metropolis, that necessity is one crying loudly fur the interposition of the Legislature. It has been insisted upon by Lord EBRINGTON, ever since 1845, that conspicuous among the causes of urban insalubrity is the accu mulation of putrescent matter in large quantities.t By a most preposterous arrangement the river running through our capital is employed as a means of stirring up this putrescent filth of the metropolis by the tidal influences affecting its current. In a recent disquisition on malaria we are gratified to observe the following ()pinion advanced by Dr. UZIE (page 33) :—" The city of London would be thoroughly cleansed by the abstraction of its putrescent offels, and its noble ' river might resume its pristine poetical title of the silver Thames: nor does there seem to be any insu perable difficulty in the present state of scientific skill and bold enterprise among our illustrious engineers which could not be certainly overcome." - i t But, chief of all the principal wants of the multi tude in the way of sanitary improvement, is that of a sufficient supply of pure water, for domestic consumption. At present the water imbibed by the inhabitants of the metropolis is of such disgusting and baneful impurity as to be scarcely worthy of the name, a name signifiing some thing more salubrious and pellucid. Insomuch that almost every citizen might exclaim against the Go vernment as against a body most culpable in its long indifference to the requirements of the people in this particular. " Quid prohibetis aquas ? usus communis aquarum est; Quas tamen ut detis, supplex peto. Non ego nostros Abluere hic artus, lassataque membra parabam; Sed relevare sitim. Caret us humore loquentis, Et latices arent, vixque est via vocis in illis. Haustus aqua milli Nectar erit." Not only do the obstacles in the way of obtaining the advantages of a proper urban irrigation arise from the enormous quantities of putrescent matter thrown into the river ; but likewise, also, and in a very great measure, from the injurious nature of the minor channels employed for the conveyance of water throughout the metropolis. Foremost, perhaps, among the reasons of this supplementary contamina tion is the poison of lead, a quality absorbed by water from the surface of pipes and cisterns. Of the pre valence of this poison in the water used for domestic purposes many startling and rather depressing testimonies have lately been collected together in a little pamphlet, well deserving the attentive perusal of all aspirants for sanitary improvement, a pamphlet which we can commend with justice from its evidently conscientious accuracy and pervading intelligence.§ Another consideration affecting the subjects of irrigation, ventilation, and sewerage puri • fic ition should, together with those already referred to, be carefully borne in mind—namely, that the prin cipal cause of all malaria is the presence of sulphe retted hydrogen in the common atmosphere. It should be remembered, also, that this de structive gas arises continually in the most horrible abundance from stagnant cesspools, from over crowded graveyards, from the streets and from the river, from putrescent matter allowed to accumulate in all directions—and that this is permitted to be the case, notwithstanding the declaration of the illus trious LIEBIG that " sulphuretted hydrogen produces immediate decomposition of the blood when admitted to the lungs." From all we have here remarked, it will be sufficiently evident that little or nothing has yet been achieved in the way of sanitary improvement, in spite of all that has been said upon the matter both within and without the walls of Parliament. The secret of this is, as we have before attempted to intimate, the confusion in which the whole subject still continues, and the necessity existing that it should be marked out in se parate departments. Never, perhaps, was any act of Government re ceived with greater joy than the virtual suspension of the unjust and impolitic law of 1844, by the Ministerial letter of the 25th October, 1847, to which we alluded in our impression of Saturday last. It is true, as we have already stated, that many grave objections were entertained with respect to the previ sions contained in that letter. The enormous and usurious rate of in terest—theminimum terms on which accommodation could be afforded by the Bank, being 8 per cent. per annum, which might be considered as equivalent to 12 or 15 per cent. from other establish ments,—was felt to be a serious drawback. But still money could be obtained, although at a heavy sacrifice, by those who had unquestionable secu rities, and that was felt to be an inestimable boon at the moment. Heavy losses would un doubtedly be submitted to, but ruin and bankruptcy might be averted, and sincere gratitude was felt to Ministers for what was thin supposed to be the large concession made to the interests of the commercial community. This feeling might possibly have been changed if it had been fully ascertained that it was merely to save the Bank itself from stoppage, at a moment when it had no less than eight millions of gold and silver coin and bullion in its vaults, and thus to prevent the natural consummation of that iniquitous law, and the folly and incapacity of its authors from being manifested to the country. The clause that provided that the extra profits derived from the measure should be carried to the account of the national Exchequer was also deemed unworthy of the Government of a mighty nation, as evincing a petty and grasp ing disposition, a paltry meanness, highly un becoming a statesman. But, with all its faults, the measure was truly acceptable, and not the less so because it was considered as fatal to the Act of 1844 . In this opinion all classes concurred. Tnere was an almost unparalleled unanimity in the press. Even the great organ of the bullionists, the most strenuous advocate of the Bank Charter Act, of the "apprecia tion" in the value of money thereby occasioned, and of banking restrictions, admitted that the days of the existing law were numbered, and that it would spee dily be erased from the national statute-book. That journal stood almost alone in condemning the suspension a 3 being too precipitate, but it entertained no doubt as to the effect of that suspension —that it was a virtual abrogation of the Act, which thereby received its coup de grace. Meanwhile the operation of the suspension pro duced the most astonishing effects. The most san guine anticipations were more than realized. The intense fears, the wild and unreasoning panic, that had prevailed in every quarter were immediately allayed, and comparative confidence was restored. The moment the Bank was empowered to issue money the great demand for it ceased. The notes hoarded by bankers and commercial men to guard against anticipated dangers, which had been esti mated by Mr. S. GURNEY to amount to no less than 4,000,000/. sterling, were at once released from their confinement and restored to general circula tion. Mr. GLYN subsequently, in his evidence, clearly explained this operation. The Honourable Gentleman said, " It produced the same effect as if the Bank of England had made an issue, because it brought out the hoards of notes, and they went into circulation. It thereby added to the circulation of the country , and it removed the cause of the panic, whi c h i s state d to have arisen from the Act of 1844." The same in telligent and trustworthy witness declared that " the letter of the Government stopped the crisis and abrogated the Act," and another witness (Mr!' BROWNE) considered the letter to have " virtually condemned and annulled the Act of 1844." Even the Governor of the Bank himself, although an earnest supporter of the Act, acknowledged that " all "Practical Ventilation as applied to Publie, Domes tic, and Agricultural Structures." 1 Vol. By Robert Scott Burn, Engineer.

LONDON, harm appeared to have ceased on the issue of the letter," and subsequently stated, in his evi- ' dence, that " what restored confidence was the letter of the Government, allowing the Bank to make any advances, without reference to the Act, at a given rate of interest. We did not so much want the money, but we wanted a certainty that if we did want it we could get it." A former Go vernor, also, Mr. 1./OMELET PALMER, more than corroborated this view. " The demand for assistance," said he, " was so much increased as to place the Bank in imminent danger by granting it, and which NOTHING could have relieved short of the re laxation of the law which took place." But why multiply evidence on a question so generally acknowledged as to be almost indisputable ? The effect of the letter was immediate. Mr. S. GURNEY, in the morning of that day—the 25th October, 1847—had applied to the Governor of the Bank, stating that his firm would require 200,0001. The amount was large in the then conditio❑ of the Bank, and, although the security was of the most satis factory description, the board took time to consider the application until two o'clock. At one o'clock, however, the Ministerial letter authorizing the relaxa tion was made generally known, and before the ap. pointed time, within a single hour, the accommoda tion was no longer required. Mr. GURNEY himself gave a graphic description of the operation. He said —" Those who had sent notice for their money in the morning sent us word that they did not want it, that they only ordered payment by way of precaution, and after the notice we only required about 100,0001. in stead of 200,000/. From that day we had a week of comparative ease ; the alarm lessened, and by the end of the week we had to ask as a favour of the Bank to be allowed to repay the money which we had bor rowed of them." The relief, however, was not limited to the metropolis. Similar results were perceptible throughout the entire country ; and the tide of national prosperity, that had so long been ebbing with fearful rapidity, at length turned and began to flow in a constant and steady stream, in which it has since continued, although the iniquitous Act that caused the national distress and produced the commercial crisis still, unhappily, re• mains the law of the land. We shall, on a future occasion, fully explain the disreputable manner in which the Government evaded an itnmediate decision on the condemned law— which we may style the new Bank Charter—and placed the question, towards which the public mind was intently directed, on the shelf, until the excite ment had terminated, and thus maintained the hideous monster i❑ all its natural deformity. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the iarii journals of yesterday. The Presse announces that the illustrious repub• lican ALPHONSE DE LA.MARTINE is about to visit London for the purpose of raising capital and pur chasing implements, for the cultivation of the large territory in Asia Minor which has been conferred on him by the SULTAN. The banquets at the Elysee to the non-commis sioned officers have aroused the suspicions of General CHANGARNIER, who, according to the Credit, remon strated with the PRESIDENT of the Republic on the subject, and denounced them as subversive of all military discipline. The PRESIDENT made no reply to these remonstrances, bilt the banquets are to be continued. The Pouvoir declares that the society of the 10th December is an association for merely charitable purposes (like the societies in our English boroughs for distributing beef and blankets and money among poor freeman probably), but the Presse and the National consider it as a political conspiracy. The latter thus denounces it A society has been founded with the avowed object of enabling M. Bonaparte to break his oath and to de stroy the Republic, to which he owes his position. We would wish, for the sake of M. Bonaparte himself, that he had put down this society, or protested against it as an enemy to the country and to himself, and that he had repelled as a mortal affront this pretension to the empire from which he is separated iore,his oaths, his honour, the country's benefits to him, his own history, and even his title of President of the Republic, given him by the people and the Constitution. But since he is so weak as to allow this society to exist, and since this coterie, aided by reactionary journals, does not cease toenvelop him in shameful plots, we will, for the sake of the Republic and of society, expose these disloyal manoeuvres, this permanent conspiracy, and it is with this view that we shall render a daily account of the Presi dent's itinerary." The suspicions entertained of treasonable designs against the Republic on the part of the Bonepartists, are strengthened by the fact, that the Prefect of the Cote d'Or has ordered that the arrangements for the reception of Louts NAPOLEON shall be copied from those made for the reception of the EMPEROR, by the Imperial decree of 24th Afessidor XII. The following official account of the progress of the Pita.- SIDENT has been published : " The President of the Republic lett the ElyFe yes terday morning at half past six, accompanied by the Mi nisters of War, Public Works, and Commerce, Colonels Vaudrey, de Beville, and Ney, and Captain de Toulon geon, his aides-de -camp and orderly officers, and M. Mcequart, the chef du cabinet, and arrived at the termi nus of the Lyons Railway at a quarter before seven. The Vice-President of the Republic, the Minister of the Interior, the Prefect of Police, and several of the re presentatives of the departments of the Yonne, the Nievre, the Cute d'Or, and the Rhone, were there in waiting. He was received at the entrance of the building by the engineer-in -chief; M. Jullien, and others en gineers attached to the service of the line. After ad miring kr a moment the interior of the extensive and magnificent building, the Prince got into the carriage prepared for him, followed by M. Boulay (dela Meurthe), the Prefect of Police, the director of the railway, M. Lucien Murat, General Rebillot, and several representa tives. The Count do Montalembert, who bad been in vited for the journey, left the evening before for Dijon. The inhabitants of the Faubourgs, who had assembled near the railway terminus, saluted the President with loud cries of ' Vice Napoleon.' The train left at great speed for Tunnerre, where the Prince was to stop. At the three intermediate stations of Montereau, Joigny, and Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, the people had assembled from all the country round, and hailed the presence of the President with great enthusiasm. The municipal authorities, the National Guards, and the clergy, were at the head of the crowd. The President several times expressed his regret at not being able to make a longer stay in the midst of the good and loyal inhabit ants of the country; but he made the best use of the few moments he had to communicate with them to learn their wishes and their wants, and to distribute assist ance to such as were in distie se. At Tunnerre, the mayor, at the head of the municipal council, the prefect of the Yonne, and the sub-prefect of the arrondissement, ieceived the Prince at the temporary terminus. The first magistrate of the place expressed the sentiments which animated the inhabitants at the presence of the Chief of the State, whom they had been anxious to re ceive last year at the inauguration of the railway. The President replied in a few words, full of kindness for the country which was the first, by a spontaneDus outburst of patriotism to call him from exile by naming him representative to the Constituent As sembly. Accompanied by the Ministers, the pre fect, and the general commanding the department, M. Carlier, the Prefect of Police, and the municipal autho rities, the President of the Republic went to the Hotel de Ville, where he received the civil tribunal, the juges de paix of the arrondissement, and all the authorities. He afterwards received the National Guards, the depots of the llth and 12th Dragoons and the Pompiers, and ex pressed himself well satisfied with the soldier-like , bearing of these troops. The Prince received with much warmth some old soldiers of the Imperial Guard. The President, after having visited the hospital, where he left many unequivocal proofs of his usual munificence, proceeded to the hotel of the sub-prefecture, where a collation had been prepared for him. On leaving the town he presented the mayor with a sum of 1,0001., to divide amongst the un fortunate families who had suffered from the cholera last year. The Prefect of Police, who had accompanied the President as far as the confines of the Yonne, his native department, presented to him some men who had sacrificed everything to oppose demagogical tendencies. of The clergy anxionsly took part with the authoritte, The the town in the reception of the Chief of the St ate.

Such a manifestation must be as flittering for Louis Napoleon Bonaparte as it is significative in the point of view of si , cial order so fre quently menace d, and the enemies of which are far from having given over their attempts." In meantime the Commission of Permanence does everthing in its power to defend the Republic against conspirators of all colours ; General LAMORICIERE is indefatigable in his attendance, and it has been deter mined that during the recess twenty members at least of the Committee shall always remain in Paris. M. LEO DE LABORDE, the Legitimatist, is the only mem ber of the Committee now absent. On Monday the grand distribution of prizes among the students of the University took place at the Sor bonne. The son of M. GuizoT obtained two prizes. M. GuozoT, who has recently rendered himself ex ceedingly popular among the students by his op position to the new law on public in,truction, was present, and was loudly cheered ; the students insisted in singing the illarseillaise in his honour. The students look upon him as their champion and defender against the sacerdotal tyranny to which M. DE MO/STALEMBERT would sub ject them,. and their feelings are still more strongly excited against the priests by the recent exhibition of horrible bigotry and intolerance on the part of FRANZONI, the Archbishop of Turin, and the bosom friend of MM. DE MONTALEMBERT and DE FALLOUX, who got up a subscription to present with a testi rronial of approval of his former acts of rebellion against the laws of his country. The Prefect of the Seine et Marne has suspended several mayors in his department who signed petitions against the Electoral Law.

HAYNAu has gone to Hanover, and has been most cordially received by King ERNEST. The Austrian Government has issued a decree, re quiring that all newspaper articles shall be signed by the writers. Count LEO Tuurf, the Minister of Public Instruc tion in Austria, and the tool of the Jesuits, has pro posed that no private school shall be suffered to exist, the teachers of which are not licensEd by the Govern ment, and i❑ which the Government (i. e. the Jesui tical) plan of education shall not be adopted. In consequence no Protestant schools can be tolerated. This is what the Jesuits understand by " liberty of instruction." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Danish Ministers of Finance and Justice, ac companied by Russian and French Envoys, who will be speedily joined by an English Envoy, have arrived at holding, to negotiate a settlement of differences between the belligerents, and a cessation of hostilities has, it is said, taken place. TURKEY. A telegraphic dispatch in the Austrian Correspon dent, dated Ragusa, 29th July, says :—" The Turkish fleet has cast anchor in the illy of Commenizza, in view of Corfu." ITALY. It is said that the POPE has been required by Austria to grant a Constitution to his subjects Kith similar provisions to that granted by Austria to the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The inhabitants' of Turin are most indignant at the bigotry exhibited by Archbishop PRANZONI in the affair of the late Minister SANTA RosA. The incar ceration of the Archbishop in the fortress of Penes trella may be regarded as an attempt to shield him from the vengeance of the people, who assembled in large numbers to accompany him on his progress thither, and gave vent .to their just indignation by loud cries and imprecations. It was with difficulty that the authorities preserved him from popular justice. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. CORFU, JULY :27.—The official gazette of Corfu publishes a note from the British Colonial Minister, Earl Grey, to the Lord High Comtnissioner Ward, relative to the controversy between the lonian Senate and lonian Legislative Chamber relative to the validity of the election of a deputy. Earl Grey recognises the right of the Chamber to annul that election, but is at the same time of opinion that the Senate acted judiciously in carrying out the electoral law in logical sequence. He is, nevertheless, of opinion that no authority, except the lonian Government, is com petent to pass a decided judgment on the misunder standing between the Chamber and the lonian Senate, and that the Chamber, in exclusive and primary in stance, has the right of deciding on the election of a deputy. The adjustment of the existing conflict would, in his (Earl Grey's) opinion, be most satisfac torily concluded by mutual concessions, and a change might possibly be effected in the electoral law. Earl GREY passed a high encomium on the lonian Senate. Vessels from Sicily entering the lonian harbours are subject to the same quarantine laws as those coal ing from Malta. INDIA. A telegraphic message has been received by Trieste that the Overland Mail has sailed from Alexandria. It affords no further news. THE DELIVERY OF LETTERS AND NEWPAPERS ON SUNDAYS. RESTORATION OF A SUNDAY DELIVERY. The Report of the Commissioners appointed to consider whether Sunday labour in the Post office may not be materially reduced, with out putting an end to the delivery of newspapers on Sunday, this day presented their report to the House of Commons. We are authorised to state that the Commissioners advise a single delivery and receipt of letters and newspapers on Sunday, that arrangements may be made to enable postmasters and their assistants to attend divine worship on alternate Sundays, and report that in very small rural dis tricts no extension of the time for the receipt and delivery of letters and newspapers beyond that for merly permitted is required. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by Count Mensdorff and Count A. Mensdorff Pouilly, and attended by Viscountess , Jocely n , L a d y i n Waiting, Major- General IN etnyss, Equerry, and Colonel Wylie, Equerry to the Prince, the Hon. Colonel Chas, B. Phipps, Keeper of the Privy Purse, and the Master of the Household, left Osborne at ten o'clock this morning and crossed to Gosport in the Fairy Royal yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fit zclarence, the ships of war and batteries firing salutes as the yacht entered the harbour. The illustrious party proceeded to town by special train to the Nine Elms station, whence a detachment of the 16th Lancers escorted th ,, Royal cortege to the Palace. At three o'clock her Majesty held a. Privy Council, attended by Prince Albert, the Ministers and Great Officers of State, at which the Royal Speech on closing the session of Parliament was arranged.

VENING, AUGUST 14, 1850. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool 3, sterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken fur export, and 400 Surat and 1.500 American on speculation. The market closed firmly at full prices. —The share market was flit. The letters and pipers by the mail steamer America furnish a few items of interest. It is stated in a report before us that " the harvest throughout the United States is now finished, and we are satisfied the amount of wheat produced is greater than ever before. In the Western States, where corn has heretofore been the principal crop, an immense amount of wheat has been grown this year. In Missouri alone, the surplus is esti mated at five hundred thousand bushels, and this is one of the smallest wheat growing states. The corn crop has suffered somewhat in almost every direction in consequence of drought, but that occurred before the grain began to form, and, should the month of August prove favourable, a greater amount of corn will be raised than ever before known. All the crops suffered considerably by the rain which fell in the course of the late gale, which swept from Cape Fear to the Northern Likes, but that is, comparatively, a small por tion of the great territory devoted to agriculture. " Toe cotton and sugar crops suffered greatly in consequence of the late spring and the many over flows to which they have been subjected. Indeed, from all we can gather, it is probable that both these crops will fall far below the average, and it is possible they may be even below those of last year. In Texas alone have those crops escaped the disaster to which in the other Southern states they have been subjected. A large portion of the most productive lands in that State has this year been devoted to the production of sugar cane, and it is probable that Texas will be one of the principal States in the production of sugar. Up to the 17th of June last, we are authentically informed, that some thirty thousand adventurers passed Fort Laramie, on the overland route to California, and the rush by the way of Chagres and Panama is still very great. The probability is that the new state on the Pacific will receive an accession to her population of sixty or seventy thousand within the present year. The accounts recently received from the gold region warrant the belief that the proceeds of old digging this season will be immense . ' Tnat state, ' re marks a New York editor, with wonderful resources, need care very little whether she is admitted into the Union or .not. • Indeed, we would not be surprised if ' she got disgusted with the a Manner in which she has been treated, and withdrew her appliCation altogether." Dates to the 19th inst., from Mayaguez state that sugar and molasses were very scarce at that place, the crop having been nearly entirely bought up for the Eu ropean markets; but the stock on hand had not reached so low an ebb as had 'been represented. It was stated at Mayaguez that the news had been received there of a terrible hurricane having taken place at Guadeloupe and Martinique, destroying property to a very large amount, and damaging the shipping in the harbours. The Mexican advices are discouraging. The cholera continued to rage severely, and told, of course, upon the collection of the revenue. The remittance from Vera- Cruz, c fficially reported to the Committee, is only 30,652 dollars, and from another source we learn that there are ,about 6,000 dollars from Tampico. The amount advised as pending for duties at Vera Cruz is 151,822 dollars 42 cents. Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh write to the Committee, explaining why - they haye lately been unable to send forward an exact account of the amounts available for the bondholders, the Customs authorities not having delivered the bills to them, and it appears that there would be an expense of 30 or 40 dollirs per month to have the amounts regularly drawn up by the Customs dells. All this will doubtless be set right when Mr. Falconnet goes out, and we hear that his intention of visiting the United States is abandoned, and that he is likely to proceed direct to Mexico by the packet of the 2d of next month. There is another change re ported in the American papers to have taken place in the Finance department, Senor Gutierres having been replaced by Senor Lacunas, and a Mexican journalist gives the following gloomy report:— " The treasury is not only empty, but there are no available means by which it can to filled (at least, le gally filled). The state of the country arises from the evils which have crept in and become a part and portion of its system a Government. They must all be changed ere any permanent good can result to Mexico." The Amsterdam Stuck market on the 12th inst. was rather dull. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents brought 51 to 5-16. The Funds have been very dull again, and the settle ment of the Account occupies chief attention. Consols have been marked 964 for Transfer, and 961 1 for Sep tember 14.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORNEXCHANGE- WEDNESDAY. The supply of English Wheat on sale in to•day's market was very limited. For most descriptions, not withstanding that the attendance of both town and coun try buyers was small, the demand ruled steady, and Monday's quotations were u ell supported. Very con tradictory accounts have reached us respecting the po tato crop . Only 3,070 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand this week. Fine dry parcels moved off steadily, at full rates of currency.' In the middling and inferior kinds comparatively little business was transacted. We were scantily supplied with all kinds of Barley, in which steady sales were concluded at full prices. In Malt next to nothing was doing. There was rather more inquiry for Oats, the supply of which was but moderate, and prices were well supported. Beans, Peas, ,Indian Corn, and Flour were quuted as dear as last week.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of Mr. Bureau, the managing director of the General Com mission Ship Loan and Insurance Company, who had been nominated to represent the company. Mr. Berman had not surrendered, nor had he filed any accounts as ordered by the Court. Mr. PEARCE said Mr. Burnan was present, and he therefore wished him to be called in the usual manner, so that, if he did not surrender, ulterior steps might be taken. _ Mr. LUCAS, for Mr. Burnan, said as this was the last day Mr. Bureau would surrender, but he could not file a balance-sheet, as he had been compelled to give up the books under a❑ order of one of the Masters in Chan cery under tho Winding-up Act. Mr. PEARCE said the order of the Master was not served until after that of this court. Mr. Loess said an account and balance-sheet would be made out and filed in the Master's office, and a copy could be obtained for the purposes of the court. It was ultimately agreed that Mr. Bureau should sur render, and the examination was adjourned sine die. BOW-STREET.—(T-- HIS DAY.) THE LATE /19CUSSING AND ROBBERY CASE.—Jams Cole alias Cotter, who stands charged with hocussing and robbing Peter Thwaites, a fruiterer in Covent garden market, of two cheques, ono for 351. and the other for 311., two 100/. notes, and about 204 in gold, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Henry. Peter Thwaites deposed that on last Friday afternoon he called in at the Mercer's Arms, Long-acre. There he met the prisoner in company with another man and two females. After a short time witness called for some wine, of which they all drank. Witness paid for it, and in less than half an hour after he bad entered the house ho became quite insensible. He remembered nothing afterwards. He fully believed the wine of which he par took was drugged by the prisoner and his companions. A potter in the market stated that he went into the Mercer's Arms on the night in question, and there saw the prosecutor with the prisoner and a woman. Witness went to Mr. Thw aites's shop and told them there that Mr. Thwaites was in bad company and very drunk. A servant went with witness, and they met the prisoner running very hard. He was stopped just getting into a cab. He said nothing when taken into custody. Mr. Henry again remanded the case till Tuesday next.
