The Committee of the Lords on the commercial distress deserved the marked thanks of the community for their able, honest, and well-considered report, a document of a very different character from that emanating from the Commons Committee, although the evidence adduced was practically the same in both cases. The Peers' Committee was fairly and justly coneti , uted. It was not' packed" for the purpose of sustaining a particular Act of Parliament, of preserv ing the restrictions on banking, by which the value of money had been so greatly appreciated and the chains of the debtors and tax-payers double riveted. The Mini,ter of the day was not certain of carry ing his own report, as Sir CHARLES WOOD asserted he ought to be before assenting to any inquiry. There woe, on the contrary, a firm determination to conduct the investigation committed to their charge with strict impartiality, and a " true s.relict to give ac cording to the evidence," and that resolution was unflinchingly carried cut. The report itself was a valuable commentary on the evidence. It di 1 not merely quota the opinions of the witnesses, but gave the just deductions from the general testimony, show ing bow far these deductions were sustained by, or opposed to, these opinions ; and in the latter cases explaining the reasons for dissent. The Committee did not enter into the objections that have been pre ferred against the Act of 1819. They regarded " the convertibility of the bank-note " as a settled question, that should not be interfered with under any circumstances, and our cbeervations on their report are to be taken on the same foundation. We need not state that we are totally opposed to the bullionist principles, that a e desire the repeal of the Act of 1819 as earnestly as we do that of 1844, the latter merely increasing and aggravating the evils which had their foundation and origin in the former statute. But the subject-matter of in quiry was practically limited to the operation of the supplementary law. To that the evidence of the witnesses and the arguments of the Committee were chiefly directed, and we shall for the present examine the case from the same point of view. The entire report is unequivocally condemnatory of the Act of 1844. The Ceu.mittee state, in their pre liminary observations, that they had " come to the conclusion that the recent panic was materially ag gravated by the operation of that statute, and by the proceedings of the Bank itself." They add, " This effect may be traced directly to the Act of 1844, in the legislative restriction imposed on the means of accommodation whilst a large amount of bullion was held in the coffers of the Bank, and during a time of favourable exchanges ; and it may be traced to the same cause, indirectly, as a consequence of great fluctuations in the rate of discount, and of capital previously advanced at a low rate of interest. . This course' the Bank would hardly have felt itself justified in taking, had not an impression existed that by the separation of the issue and bank ing departments one it flexible rule for regulating the Bank issues had been substituted by law, in place of the discretion formerly vested in the Bank. The banking department was considered to be thus ab solved from all obligation but that which was con nected with the pecuniary interests of the proprie tors." The Committee then gave a more detailed ac count of the primary causes•and extent of the dis tress, which they stated the witnesses concur in attri buting to the " sudden and unexampled demand for foreign corn produced by a failure in many descrip tions of agricultural produce throughout the United Kingdom. This reduced the bullion from the Bank coffers by about 7,500,0001, and 1,500,0001. from other sources." There was also the " railway expen diture," " overtrading," the " rise of price in cotton," and the sudden and extensive " fall in sugar." They add—" what precise proportion these different causes contributed to the common disaster, there is some room for difference of opinion, but that each had a considerable share in producing it no person has been found to dispute." In the existing state of the law these causes un doubtedly contributed in same degree, more:or less, to the evil ; but would they have done so if the law were different ? That is the question. The British nation, which between loans and taxes could raise in three successive years, Hl3, 14, and 15, no less than 510,000,0001. sterling, and that without distress o r difficulty, cannot have fallen into such utter poverty, that 9,000,0001. sterling, sent to procure food for the starving people, could have produced such calamitous results, such unprecedented distre , a and destitution— we say " unprecedented," for the great majority of the witnesses considered the intensity of the pressure as far more severe than the distress of 1837 and 1839, and many stated it to have been greater even than in the year of panic, 1825. The second head relates to the Treasury letter of 23tib October, " the salutary consequences of which ware recognised gratefully by almost every witness, even by those mo st favourable to the Act of 1844." The C onimittee declare that nothing short of absolute necessity' could justify that letter; but, " not relying with. any confidence on either of the remedies (viz., a sale of Consols and a limitation of discount) proposed by tL e Bank, as likely to have proved safe or effectual," they express their approval of that letter. The principles on which the Act of 1844 are based are discussed, and they clearly prove t hat " the effi ciency of the circulation is not identical with its money amount," and the "inapplicability of the same rule to periods of favourable' and of adverse foreign exchange. . . The Act of 1844 applies the same rule in boil cases." The " self-acting regulator" is, there fore, quite inadequate to provide for all the exigencies that might probably arise. The Committee then considered " some very im portant results attending the new banking system, which appeared to have produced very serious results to the commercial interests." These are " the freedom from responsibility in the issuing depart ment," and the liberty to manage the banking department on the principle of a private bank." And "the unexampled fluctuation in the rate of discount since the Act of 1844." Previous to 1839 that rate had never exceeded 5, or been less than 4 per cent. ; and althuugh it rose for some months, in 1839, to 6 per cent., it was again reduced to 5 per cent. in January, 1840, and remained, as before, between 4 and 5 per cent., till after the passing of the 7th and Bth Victoria, cap. 32. From that time the fluctua tion has been exceedingly great, amounting, in a single year, to as much as 61 per cent., the rates charged by the Bank of England exhibiting a melan choly contrast to the charges of the Bank of France during the same period, which never at any time ex ceeded 5 per cent. The great length of this admirable report, and the importance of the remedial measures suggested by the different witnesses, render it impossible to reduce our observeions within the limits of a single article ; we shall, however, take an early opportunity of showing how completely it overturns the various theories on which that most unwise and impolitic law is founded, which "materially aggravated the panic," and the suspension of which was essential to the safety of the nation and the "convertibility of the bank-note," for which so many evils have been deliberately and ad visedly encountered. We were yesterday forced to conclude our re marks on the Irish landlord-and-tenant question before we were able to point out what we conceive to be a grave error in reference to this subject, which appeared in the columns of a morning contem porary, viz.—" That land is not, by the law of Eng land or Ireland, considered as of necessity the subject of a trust." What the force or use of the words "of necessity" in this sentence can be we are at a loss to divine ; it is not essential to our purpose to show that land is of necessity the subject of a trust—if we can establish the fact that a portion of the land of Ireland has been actually granted in trust, in all due form of law, we shall have succeeded in the end we had in view in noticing the mistake of our contemporary— the establit hment of our own accuracy. We shall pass over the moral trusteeship implied in the social compact, and which in faro conscientie should be sufficiently binding on an honest landlord, and ask our contemporary to take the trouble of ex amiaing the "Articles" of the " Ulster Plantation." He will learn from them that a special trusteeship was annexed, by a public Act of the State, to the grant of the confiscated estates in the north of Ire land, comprising the greater portion of six counties. We have frequently through the columns of this journal cited portions of the orders and conditions contained in these "Articles," in which it was most distinctly and stringently laid down that these lands were not conferred for the private profit of any indi vidual or corporation, but, in the emphatic words of the official document itself, "to do service to the Crown and Commonwealth." This document printed and issued in 1608, under the authority of the KING and the Lords of the Privy Council, goes on thus—" And forasmuch as many ' persons being ignorant of the conditions whereupon his MAJESTY is pleased to grant the said lands, are importunate suitors for greater portions than they are able to plant, intending their private profit only, and not the advancement of the public service, it is thought convenient to declare and publish to all his MaaesTv's subjects the several quantities of the proportions which shall be distributed, the several sorts of undertakers, manner of allotment, the estates, the rents, the tenures, with other articles to be observed, as well on his 'MAJESTY'S behalf as on the behalf of the undertakers, in manner and form following." This document will be found in " Harris's Hibernica," Part 1., p. 63. See, also, Appendix to the Skinners' Appeal to the House of Lords (decided in 1846), p. 31, and the Irish Society's Answer. We cannot conceive that any person, after examin ing tbese state documents and charters, will seriously contend that the landlords or " undertakers " of these lands are anything more nor less than public trustees fur the purposes of the state. They are but the KING'S stewards to carry out his MAJESTY'S intention in reference to the colonization of Ulster ; no abso lute right of ownership has been conferred on them ; they have no right to turn to their own private use the profits and advantages intended for the general body of the settlers, and by assuming that right they would, in our judgment, be as much guilty of a breach of trust as any other trustee created by the ordinary process of law, who shculd convert to his own private pur poses the property of his cestui que trust. T cis may be considered strong language in refer. ence to the rights of landlordism in Ulster, but it is forced upon us by the conditions and written evidence of a publicly ratified grant from the Crown of England. Under the terms of this grant the for feited lands were parcelled out to three classes of undertakers or landlords in certain graduated pro portions. The first class, who were to be English or Scotch undertakers, received a proportion of two thousand acres, and were bound to plant their lands exclusively with English and lowland Scotch tenants. The second class, who should be persons who had serv€d the Crown in any civil or military capacity in Ireland, received one thousand five hundred acres, and might plant their lands indifferently with native Irish or British tenants—of course being Protestant. The third class received one thousand acres, and might be natives of Ireland, but had to pay double the amount charged to the English and Scotch under takers. By the twelfth Article promulgated by King JAMES and his Privy Council, the English and Scotch undertakers were bound " not to demise any part of their lands at will only, but to make certain estates for years, for life, in toile, or in fee simple" By Article 13 "no uncertain rent shall be reserved by the said undertakers, but the same shall be expressly set down without reference to the custom of the country, and a proviso shall be inserted in their letters patent against cuttings, cosheries, and other Irish exactions upon their tenants." The second class of undertakers were bound to make certain estates to their tenants, and reserve certain rents, and forbear Irish exactions. The third class were also bound to make certain estates fur years or lives to their under-tenants, and forbear Irish exactions. These are the conditions upon which the confiscated lands of 131ster were conferred upon the forefathers of the present proprietors, and fur the purpose of enforcing a due observance of the duties and conditions imposed they were strictly bound by the terms of the third general article, which runs thus—" That every under taker, before the ensealing of his letters patent, shall enter into bond or recognizance, with good suretiei, to his MAJESTY'S use, in the office of his 'IAJESTY'S Chief Remenabrancer in England or Ireland, or else before two of the Commissioners to be appointed for the plantation, to perform the aforesaid Articles, ac cording to their ft veral distinctions, Stc., Scc. ; and making of certain estates to their tenants, in this man ner, viz., the undertaker of the greatest proportion to .become bound in four hundred pounds, of the middle proportion in three hundred, and of the least proportion in two hundred pounds." Since the days of JAMES there has been no change made in the condition of the plantation as contained in the " Articles" from which we have made the above extracts. Hence, since it is clear that the original grantees in the time of JiMES, w ho took no absolute ownerships, were bound to grant fixed and certain estates to the plan talon tenantry, the same obligation follows and at taches to their successors down to the present day,, and that the " phtutatim tenant," of Ulatet ACM le gaily entitled to a fixed and certain estate in the soil by the same right which gives title to the landlord. In some parts of the north these rights of the tenant are partially recognized, and wherever the tenant right is to any extent acted on, it is admitted to pro duce the most beneficial and salutary consequences. And those rights and privileges which JAMES, in a spirit of narrow bigotry, would confine to a favoured few, we should be glad to see extended by our Gracious QUEEN in the spirit of a more civilized age and a more enlightened liberality to every subject of her MAJESTY. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. _ We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The PRESIDENT was to leave Paris yesterday for Cherbourg, where he will review the fleet on the 6th and 7th. It is said that there is a split in the PRESIDENT'S Cabinet, and that General D'llauTrour, and M. BAROCHE, who do not approve of the course proposed to be adopted by their colleagues in reference to the extension of the PaEsipeax's term of office, are about to resign. A Cabinet Council was held on Sunday, and when it broke up the PRESIDENT sent to Berlin suddenly to demand the immediate presence in Paris of his friend M. DE PERSIGNY. The Duchess of ORLEANS has written to M. TIIIERS and to Count MOLE, requesting their advice and protection for her children. M. Tunas has frankly consented to become the friend and adviser of the Duchess, but Count MOLE, who has for some time past been intriguing both with the Elys6e and Wiesbaden, refuses to commit himself. The Count of CHAMBORD left Wiesbaden on the 31st ult. Endeavours have been made by his partizans to represent him as free from the vices of his race. It would appear, however, that he is quite as bigoted and quite as priest-ridden as his grandfather. It seems that during the time he was staying at Wies baden a subscription was set on foot fur the repair of a church, to which at first it had been un derstood that the Count DE CHAMBORD would contribute. As the church, however, was a Protestant church, his confessor forbade him to subscribe, and the faithful son of Rome at once obeyed the orders of his confessor. The knowledge of this fact will militate materially against his chances in France. The French people will never again submit to the government of the confessional. The news of Louis PHILIPPE'S death reached Wiesbaden on the 29th ult. On the following morn ing all the French visitors of Wiesbaden, with the Duke of BORDEAUX at their head, attended sc funeral mass in the church, which was hung with black. On the same day the Duke gave a farewell reception, at which he delivered the following brief adieu to his as sembled partisans : " Gentlemen,—Let me bring you together once more around me, not to say Adieu,' but Au revoir ;' to thank you for having quitted your families and affairs of bu siness to visit me. I have communicated to many cf you my intentions, my desires, the lino of conduct to follow, and what men possess my confidence. I wish to repeat to all of you that if you desire the triumph of our poble and holy cause, which is that of France, union and dis cipline are indispensable. Show yourselves inflexible as to principles, moderate and conciliating as to persons. He whom you regard as your head, as your king, and who, I may add, is also the best of your friends, will always show you this example. And if society, if France, were ever in danger, alll tell all our friends how happy and proud I should be to fly with you to her defence." The Duke, having pressed the hands of those pre sent, then retired. A letter from Cherbourg of the 31st says : " Strangers are flocking into Cherbourg. The steamers and public vehicles bring every day crowds of visitors, and among them are a great number from Jersey. When the Jersey steamer, the Superb, ar rived, it went round the roadstead to show the fleet to the passengers, bat it neglected to salute the station ary vessel as required by the regulations. A gun was fired to remind the captain of his duty, but he took no notice. Thereupon the boats of the Becephale, commanded by Lieut. Picard and his officers, put off and overtook the Superb just as it was about to enter the port. The lieutenant demanded explanations, and the English captain, M. Priaulx, immediately gave them in the most satisfactory manner. This, joined to the cour tesy of the French officers, prevented the commander of the reaelsted from putting the Superb in quarantine in the middle of the port, a proceeding a hich would have been anything but amusing to the passengers. This incident caused a oertain movement among the persons on the quays. It was raid that as the Superb had endeavoured to enter without respecting the regula tions, it must needs have some important or suspected personage on board. Some one, by way of joke, pro nounced the name of Ledru-Rollin, and immediately it became generally reported that he was really on board. The gendarmerie, the police, the customs' offi cers, and the local authorities, were immediately on foot, and a minute examination of every passenger was made. Fortunately no one resembled the celebrated exile, or he weuld at once have been seized by the collar, and marched cff to gaol, there being strict orders all along the coast to keep up a sharp look-out after him. After it became certain that Ledru-Rollin was not on board the Superb, the passengers were allowed to disembark, but then a scrupulous examination of the boxes and port maeteaux .was made. The inhabitants of Jersey, who so well received the national guards of Avrauchea and Granville, were astonished at such a reception."

We find the following from Vienna in the Alge meine Zeitung of the date of the 29th August : " His Majesty has not yet returned from Ischl, where he had important conferences with the Russian Chancel lor of State, Count Nesselrode. Baron Megendorff, the Russian Ambassador at Berlin, accompanied Prince Schwatzenburg to be present at the conferences. King Otho of Greece arrived at Ischl yesterday. He intends visiting his cousin, the Empress Mother, at Salzburg, which place he will quit the day after to-morrow. The King will visit Vienna in October. Count Nesselrode returns to St. Petersburgh, via Lintz and Prague, with out visiting the capital. Count Stephen Ms:llya-Iy, who has been pardoned by the Emperor, has arrived here from Constantinople. Several of the Magyars, who have been amnestied, have inserted a letter of thanks is the newspapers." The Independence of Brussels says : " Our correspondent at Berlin continues to send us an nna'ysis of the notes exchanged between Austria and Prussia on the subject of the convocation of the re stricted Diet. The striking point of these notes is, that the reply of Prussia is a sort of manifesto or programme a•idressed to the German nation. They do not despair at Berlin to see Austria renounce the restricted Diet, and to accept the free conferences which Prussia proposes t) substitute fur it; and it is said that if in these con ferences the Prussian programme is adopted, the Minis terial crisis will be avoided at Berlin; if, on the con trary, it is rejected, a change of Ministry will take alace to the profit of the extreme right. The opening of the Diet convoked by Austria has been fixed for the 2d instant; but our correspondent at Frankfort informs us that in all probability the convocation will be put off, and that, at all event., if the Diet meets it will be imme diately prorogued, in order to allow Prussia and Austria time to agree about some arrangement. That might cause a long adjournmen•. Prince de Schwarzenberg and Count de Nesselrode have, we understand, come to an agreement, at the conference which they bad as Lehi, on the course to be taken in German affairs. It is known that Russia strongly advises Austria and Prussia to ter minate their difference, and come to an amicable arrange ment." The Wiener Zeitung publishes the project of the Minister of Justice, Count Vox SCHMERLING, on the organization of the new courts of judicature in the kingdom of Dalmatia, and the code of laws for the Crown lands, as sanctioned by the EurEitort under an Imperial decree, dated July 17. One of the important features of this project is the introduction of trial by jury. The BAN, who has hitherto been Governor of Dalmatia, will be represented by a Vice-Governor, who will make Izana his place of residence. _ _ ---------- The States of Hesse Cassel, in their address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, express their want of confidence in the Ministry. The address opens with echoing the wish expressed in the Royal Speech, that the deliberations of the Chamber might be blessed to the country. "But," say the States-- " We cannot co ncea l f rom ourse l ves that t hi s w ill b. impossible so l ong as your Royal Highness is sur rounded our d 7 men b l ack t y the ou r confidence Highness to f declarethe l holiest h duty wo o the name of the people whom we represent that these do not recognise in the appointment of the present Ministry a fulfilment of your Majesty's royal declara tion of March 11, 184 S.

The address concludes— " The Bill on the temporary collection of the taxes until September 30 t h shall be well considered and ap proved, or rejected , as the result of our investigations shall dictate. We meanwhile repeat the firm conviction Hitt the diffinllieS Pad &igen *llwied to tu tho-lioyol Speech have been brought about chiefly by the preEent Administration, and hold them insurmountable if your Royal Highness will persist in surrounding your throne with men who can never enjoy the full confidence of the people. May your Royal Highness not turn a deaf ear to the voice of your people!" DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The German papers have adviees from Kiel and Altona of the 31st ult., but they contain nothing new or interesting. A Russian fleet was seen off Kiel on the 31st ult., and when it sailed it left a squadron of eight Russian ships and one Danish frigate to blockade the harbour of Kiel. ITALY. The following is a copy of the letter written by the POPE to the Bishop of Rimini : " You inform us that you and the clergy of the city of Rimini earnestly desire to give the blessed Virgin a public and striking mark of your eminent piety and gratitude; that you have resolved to ornament with a crown of gold that image which, under the title o f Mother of Mercies,' and according to the relation which you give, has become celebrated within the last two months throughout the whole country by the mi raculous movement of its eyes, to the great advantage of the faithful ; an image which is honoured and venerated with much piety and devotion. You t - xpress to us at the same time the desire to celebrate this ceremony on the 15th of August, the day on which the Church with solemn pomp celebrated the triumph of the holy Mother of God—her assumption into heaven. " And because you and the clergy of Rimini have it much at' heart that this ceremony shall be celebrated with the greatest possible solemnity, you ardently sup plicate 113 that, if it be possible, we will grant it to be celebrated in her name and by our authority. " We have great joy in granting these your prayers; we have nothing more at heart, and nothing is more dear to us tban to make all we know tend to the glory and the exalted praise (~f the blessed Virgin Mary. (Signed) " Pius." The family of the Prince DE CANINO has retired to Rome. A letter from Piacenza of the 26th ult., in the Risorgimento, of Turin, states that the Government still continues to search the College of San Lazzaro, in the vicinity of that town. Such is the vigour dis played by the Government officials, that walls are pulled down, and even tombstones taken up and the vaults examined. Some of the missionaries, it is said, are to be expelled from the country. AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The United States mail-steamer Hermann, Cap tain G. Crabtree, arrived off Cowes last night, and, after transferring the English and French mails to a small steamer, proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. The Hermann left New York on the 20th ult., her advices are therefore anticipated by the royal mail steamer Cambria, from Boston. The cuisine at the banquet to be given at York in October, by the Mayors of England, to Prince Albert, the Lord Mayor of London, and other distinguished guests, is to be under the direction of M. Soyer. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR —Yesterday, in pursuance of ancient charter, the Lord Mayor and other civic authori ties proceeded to Smithfield, when the usual proclamation for holding Bartholomew Fair was made. 'The ceremony, al though legally necessary, is now a mere farce. The "Fair" consisted of only three booths for the sale of gilt gingerbread, and some dozen barrows of itinerant dealers in apples, nuts, and children's toys. THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—STEAM COM MUNICATION WITH AMERICA FROM TRIM PORTS.—That the mail-packets to and from America must henceforth make Ireland the last point of departure for the western continent, and the first point to be touched on their voyage to eastern land, is now a point decided—decided not by Governments nor legislatures, but by an inevitable necessity arising out of a physical fact just accomplished. The wires of the sub marine telegraph from Dover to Calais are now laid down, and have already transmitted messages along the bottom of the Strait, from land to land. The thirty mile strait at Dover being thus successfully spanned, there can no longer be any doubt but that the sixty mile strait between Eng land and Ireland, will, within a very short time, be spanned likewise. The extension of the telegraph to any point in Ireland is an easy matter. And the means of instantaneous communication between any—the remotest—point of Ire land and every point of England being thus established, we have at length reached the time when mail steamers sailing for America must, as a matter of commercial necessity, on their outward voyage, either originally sail from or, at least, touch at an Irish port, in order to carry with them thirty hours' later news; and must, on their voyage home, deliver their intelligence at the same Irish port, in order that it may reach England thirty hours before these vessels can possibly reach England themselves."—Freenian's Journal. CITY COURT OF SEWER9.—Yesterday a special Court was held in the Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair, in consequence of a requisition "To take into consi deration the obstructions caused in the principal streets of the City by the contractors of the Great Central Gas Con sumers' Company." A communication from the company having been read, Mr. 11. L. Taylor moved, " That the soli citor avid other officers of the Corparation be directed to take immediate steps to enforce the regulations made by the Court, and in the event of any further violation of the con tract to institute immediate proceedings fur such violation." The motion was seconded by Mr. Deputy Lott, whereupon Mr. Holt moved the previous question, by way of amend ment. The amendment was carried by the casting vote of the chairipP- THE HOUSEHOLD BRIG ADE or INFANTRY— (THIS D.ty.)—ln compliance with the orders from head-quarters, the following changes, which took place this day, will be the stations of the llcusehold Brigade of Infantry:—Coldstream Guards, Ist battalion, from Portman-streetto Windsor; 2d battalion, from St. George's Barracks to St. John's.wood.

CONTINUANCE ,OF TURNPIKES. —By an Act of Parliament passed at the end of the session, the various turnpike acts then in force, with the exception of five, were continued until the Ist of October next year. Twenty-nine Acts were ordered to be continued until the Ist of November, 1851. By this Act power is given to trustees of tolls to take off tolls en lime used for the improvement of the land in ag riculture. There is a clause in this Act by which it is enacted that mortgagees, under the Acts of the present and future sessions, ;hall not enter into possession while the interest is punctually paid. With the view to facilitate the union of turnpike trusts, a former provision, requiring a period of three years to elapse before a union could be effected, is repealed. DEATH or THE RIGHT HON. C. W. W. WYNN, M.P.—We regret to announce the death of the light Hon. Charles Watkin Williams Wynn, M.P. for Montgomeryshire, which melancholy event took place on M nday, at half past four o'clock, at his residence in Grafton street. He was the oldest Member of the House of Commons, having sat for Montgomeryshire since 1797, and for about a year previously for Old Sarum. Ile held the offices of Secretary-at- ‘Var (in the Grey Administraion) and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from December. 1834, to April, 1833. The Right Hoc. Gentleman was in his 75th year. SALE Or O'CONNOR'S ALLOTMENTS IN OXFORD SNIRE.—On Saturday the allotments at Minster Lovell (one of Feargus O'Connor's celebrated land schemes) were brought to the hammer, at Oxford, by order of the mortgagees, who have a claim of 5,0001. upon the whole of the estate, which, as described in the catalogue, comprises 297 acres of superior land (the sujaeriority of the land may be inferred from the fact that seven acres and a half, with a good shed upon it, realised 1901. only), and 82 excellent cottages of three, four, and more rooms each. The aucti on was a tt en ded by a large number of occupiers and others, wh o were attracted to the room, no doubt expecting to see some fun, in consequence o f t h e f o ll ow ing having been circulated previous to the sale, more than for the purpose of p urc h as i ng : —" Minster i Lovell Estate. Notices hereby giv en , that any persons purchasing any portion of the above-named property, which is advertised for sale at the S i tar Hot e l, O x f or d, on the 31st August, 1850, will thereby involve themselves in a suit in Chancery." One of the occupants, in addressing the auc tioneer, said, it was the intention of all of them to keep pos session, or throw it into Chancery. This threat of not giving possession thonber the present te nan t s (who con sidered theirs) seemed t o h ave th e e ffect of up peaceable allotment po restraining persons from becoming purchasers, for out of the 85 lots only six were really sold ; several were bought in, and for the greater majority of the lots there were no bidders. One lot, consisting of a cottage and four acres of laud, with a rent-charge of 11. Bs., and a land-tax of 45., realized 250/. Another, with two acres and proportionate outgoings, was knocked down for 1251. The cottages cost building 150/. each. A solicitor attended on the part of Mr. F. O'Connor. THE SURVIVING LIEUTENANT OF THE AVENGER. — It will have been seen by our late appointments that Lieu tenant Rooke, the only commissioned officer saved from the wreek of the Avenger steam-frigate, is second lieutenant of the Dauntless screw-frigate, fitting at Portsmouth. Seeing that all the other survivors of the Avenger have been pro moted or provided for in some shape or other, and consider ing Lieutenant Rooke's services in the Panama, and the high I commendations bestowed upon him by Sir W. Parker, Sir Lucius Curtis, and others, for his conduct o n the loss of the ship, we had hoped that this unfortunate officer, if not pro moted at the time, would have been placed in a position where a short term of service would have secured his ad vancement.—llerald. ONIONS.—The E ssex Herald has a paragraph quite enough to bri ng t ear s in the eyes. " A farmer a t East Ham has at th e p resen t time upwards o f 600 people— men, boys, and women—employed in pulling, carting, and peeling onions for pickling; and they will be thus engaged for two months. lie pays wages to t he amount of 2001. weekly, and the cost of each acre of onions averages 1001. This includes preparing the ground, seed , weedin g , gather ing, and peeling. Last year he sowed n earl y a ton of onion seed. The onions are pulled by women by the rod, and skinned by the gallon. BAD NEWS FOR THE LA-WY:LBS.—AII the summer c'rcuits, we believe, without exception, have exhibited a startling decrease of civil business; and we hear the gentle men of the bar, of all ranks, have reason to complain, not only of the past dearth of business but of the disheartening prospects of the future. It ii to be observed that this dearth of business, which was largely occasioned by the original Local Courts Act, will be aggravated when the new one, with its greatly extended jurisdiction, has come into operation. As one instance of the extraordinary contrast between the present and former state of circuit business, we may cite the case of Liverpool. When Mr. Justice Cresswell presi,ted in the Civil Court two years ago he bad to dispose of 188 causes ; this summer his labours were restricted to getting through G 6! Under these circum,tances the apprehensions of the members of the bar seem undoubtedly too well founded.— Legal Observer. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RivEu.--Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, as the Jessie Blossom brig, llarker, master, was com i ng u p the Pool un der sail, a boat, containing four pe rsons s h ot ou t from behind a tier of shi p s.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American, and 400 Pernam and Maranham were taken for export. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 500 Pernam and Ma ranham at 84.1. to Sid., 100 Egyptian at 8/J. to Bid., and 400 Surat at 4-1,1. to sid. per lb. The market closed steadily at Friday's rates.—The Share Market was firm at previous rates. In a monthly review of the London produce markets by Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury, it is stated:— " We have to report an improved tone in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the past month ; transactions in most articles have been on a large scale both for export and home consumption; stocks in first hands are not equal to those of last year, and dealers are but moderately supplied; the deliveries continue upon a very large scale, which the present moderate rates will no doubt cause to bo maintained. The attention of spe culators has been more freely turned to produce, and large sales have been made privately on that account. Dyes and dyeing materials have continued in good de mand, and prices have an upward tendency, clot pang for Cochineal and Lac Dye, which are !litho reasier for the inferior qualitie; the deliveries for all purposes have increased, and our stocks show a falling off. " The manufacturing districts in Lancashire have been influenced by the depression which has prevailed in the Liverpool cotton market, and business transac tions became very limited; during the past week, prices having ruled steadier, purchasers have shown more dis position to operate; from the woollen districts the ac counts continuo favourable, the demand is good both for export and home use, and stocks are light. The intel ligence last received from India reports that the more favourab'e state of the home markets had caused in creased activity in the demand for export; the import trade was not in a satisfactory state, largo sales of Bri tish goods had been made, but prices for nearly all kinds were lower; stocks are large, with further sup plies shortly expected; in China also both imports and exports had declined in value. " There is a slight improvement in the Money Market, and rates may be quoted for first class acceptances, short date 2 to 2i per cent.; other Bills and Securities 3 to 6 per cent., money on call 2." The Hamburgh mail, with Friday's dates, brings the rate of exchange on London at 13 74, and the price of gold at 4341. Not much was doing in the exchanges. The corn market was rather active. In coffee there were large transactions at full prices. The imports of the article this year to the 31st August were 43,700,0001b5., and to the like date in 1849 53,300,0001b5. The stock in Hamburgh at the end of last month was 14,000,0001b5., and at the like period of 1849, 25,000,0001b5. The Grain garkets at Stettin and Dantzic are stated in the letters received this morning to be dull. A statement which appears in the London New Price Current, appears to be attracting considerable attention among importers and produce-brokers, viz., that our Government has at last come to the determination of using the most energetic means to put a complete stop to the African slave-trade, either by compelling the Brazils and Spain faithfully to carry into effect their treaties with England for the abolition of the trade; or otherwise, by directing a more efficient force against the slavers themselves; and the object, according to the statement before us, is of much easier attainment than has hitherto been supposed. Looking at the question in the business light only, its bearings are regarded as being very important, for the annual production of sugar in Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Brazils, is 370,000 tons, and of Coffee 103,000 tons, and these quantities would be materially lessened, we are to suppose as the traffic in slaves becomes curtailed, and so far be in favour of our colonies. A very trifling addition to the current price of sugar would restore to some extent prosperity to our colonies, and if the United States and Fiance are bent likewise upon co operating, the planters of the former country, it is as serted, being severely competed with by Cuba and Brazil, the detestable traffic would soon cease. It is considered that as England has already suppressed slave dealing along nearly 1,500 miles of the coast of Africa north of the Equator, and has captured 637 slave vessels within ten years, she may, with little or no additional expense, but with a different distribution of the crews and vessels to be employed, succeed in entirely suppress. ing the traffic, or at least the evidence before the com mittee of the House of Lords is adduced as warranting this conclusion. The English St.)ck Market has been very steady, and there is no feature challenging remark. Consols have been quoted 96 from the commencement of business up to this hour. Bank Stock is at 2141 to 2151, and India Stock at 266, Exchequer-bills have been 645. to 675., and India Bonds 84s. to 87s. premium. Foreign Stocks are firm, though quiet. Mexican have been done at 29i 4, and Peruvian at 81g. Equador Stock is 3i 4. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 33i- to 34, and Spanish Five per Cents. 19i. Railway Shares are all very buoyant again. QUARTER TO THREE. Consols ... 961 Ditto Account ... 961 ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITIS El FUNDS O'CLOCK. PRICES. 8 sulk 6tock. 3 per Cent.
