IN a ~ Society will be rep ea t e d during the Season i the F irst will ------ei,eimem•iiii.,.....ess+++.-e--- perience in Committees, whether there was not great advantage in such a course, inasmuch as every detail of the Bill would he hilly considered, and an opportunity would be afforded of rejecting every objectionable pro vision in the Bill. Lie was quite ready to state chat if this course were adopted, he should not consider the Reuse in any degree pledged to that which had been objected to in the Bilt —viz., an absolute renewal of all leases of Church property for ever. He found nothing in the preamble or in the wording of the Bill to prevent the Committee rejecting, or limiting or regulating the claim—if not the right of lessees, in the way most conducive to the interests of the Church, taking into consideration what the Right Rev. Prelate had admitted to be the claims of those who occupied as lessees. He appealed to the Noble Lord on the cross bench whether, if they sent the subject to a Select Com mittee without the power of considering the Bill, it would not be equivalent, if not to a rejection of the Bill, at least to an indefinite postponement of it, and to a taking away of all chance of any progress being made in the question this session. For fifteen years the sub j ect hag occupied the consideration of the public gene rally, and of the occupiers under the Church, and of the Church itself in particular, and some settlement of it had been looked forward to by all parties. By sus pending that settlement the interests of the Church, and also of the lessees, hail been deteriorated, because it had been found impossible to terry on improvements and to develop the resources of the property held by the Church. An exp ectat i on of a settlement having been held out, he thought their Lordships ought to take the first practical step towards it by sending this Bill to be duly considered by tt Committee. He snbmitted, there fore. on the understanding that the Bill be sent to a Select Committee, that their Lordships should now agree to reedit a second time pro forma. The Bishop of OXFORD did not rise to discuss the principle of the Bill, but to move an amendment in ac cordance with the suggestion of the Noble Lord oppo site (Lord Stanley), that a Select Committee be ap pointed to consider how and by what system of manage menth the capitular and episcopal property of the Church might be rendered more productive of benefit to t he om State, and most conducive to the spiritual e elfare of people, due regard being had to the just and reasonable claims of the present holders of Church property fer under the lease oe otherwise.—(Elear, hear.) _He hoped, that their reason! stated by the Noble Lord opposite,The Noble Marquis, Lordships would take this c e ourse. the Noble Lord, had in answering the obje ction re ferred to the prearnle t ,b . ut had omitted to read the qualifying words e modifications as hereinafter contained." It was desira ble e that the interests of all should b e duly conside-red ' and if, as the Nobl e E arl on the cross benches feared, the Bill would n o t pass this mission, he could only assure him that it Was one one of those cases to which the old proves b of " the more haste the worse speed" was. very applicable. Be begged to move the ameneimenr. The Berl of CARLISLE opposed the amendment. After the discussions that had token place—after the general concurrence of opinion with respect to the pro visions of the Bill—alter the question had been before th e public for upwards of tea years, and had been last year the subject of a sp ec i a l report of Commission—and after the Government had introduced a Bill founded upon that report—he did think it was ungracious to re fuse the Bill a second reading. Ile was astonished that the Right Rev. Prelate for Oxford should have laid any stress on the nrdifying words in the preamble, since it would be perfectly open to the Committee to say whe ther those words should be struck out of the preamble or not. One must be sanguine, indeed, to suppose that the report of such a Committee as that proposed by the Right Rev. Prelate would dispose of the question. In all probabis lit}; if ever such a report came before them, there would be another Select Committee moved for, to consider the Bill, so that the whole question would be postponed. Quite certain that the country would disapprove of the withdrawal of the Bill, he felt bound to give his decided Opposition to the amendment. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not rise to speak on the merits of the Bill, but as the Noble Earl had spoken of the second reading cf it as a matter of courtesy he wished to recall to tittle Lordship's recollection whet the second reading of a Bill meant. As the oldest mem ber of the House present, he thought ho was entitled to offer his opinion that the second reading of a Bill—spite of all understanding end agreements —was an affirmation of the principle of that Bill. He knew it was not always easy to explain what the principle of a Bill Was, but if the principle of this Bill was as represented by the Right Rev. Prelate, the conversion of leases for life into leases in perpetuity, that would be what they would affirm by reading the Bill a second time. In a Commitee they might deal with the provisions of the Bill, but with the principle of it they could not. Earl GREY said the question in this case was, what was the principle of the Bill? His Noble Friend had stated in the clearest manner that he was willing to take the principle as defined in the first part only of the pre amble, viz., an improved management of Church pro perty with duo regard to the just and reasonable claims of persons holding it by lease or otherwise; that was all they were to affirm by the second reading. The course proposed by the Right Rev. Prelate (Oxford) would vir tually negative the second reading.— (No, no.) When he considered the extent to which the lessees were suf fering by the present state of things, he thought their Lordships would incur a serious responsibility if they ad9ted a course which would virtually prevent all legis lation on the subject this session. After a few words from the Archbishop of CANTER BURY and the Earl of FOWLS, both of whom were in audible, their Lordships divided, Contents Non-Contents ... 28 Majority the the second reeding ... —lB The Bill was thee read a second time.

And the Hon. and Gallant Repre sentative of Lincoln gives nightly vent to his indig nation in the House of Commons at the erection of the unholy structure in Hyde -park which, according to his philosophical mind, is frequented by the multi tudinous throng on no higher principle than that which would "collect crowds in any square to look at a dead cat." " Out on ye, owls; nothing but songs of death !" Could it reasonably be expected that such a mar vellous importation of visitors would deluge the metropolis at the very opening of the Exhibition ? In ninety -nine cases out of a hundred the season tickets have been purchased, and the five shilling entrance money has been paid, by metropolitan resi dents. Th ere are a great number of persons in the habit of payi ng a visit to the capital for a few weeks in the commencement of summer who have deferred coming up to town in the present season until a re duction takes place in the terms of admission. London is certainly not fuller, indeed not so full at present as it generally is in the month of May, and those who spend two or three hours even amidst the marvellous array of contributions; which are piled in mag nificent variety and profusion within the vast edifice, are physically incompetent, as well as mentally disinclined, to devote some further portion of Ihe day to the inspection of many articles of elegance and luxury with which the magazines of our West-end shopkeepers are stored, or to sit out the entertainments provided by the pro ducers of dramatic oz. spectacular novelties. But this is only a temporary stagnation. The case will be widely different when I he stream sets in, which may be expected at its highest flow during the months of July and August. Str angers will find that a single visit to the Exhibition will go fur nothing, and that half-a-doz.n will be b srely sufficient to afford a comprehensive inspection of its countless fascinations. There will doubtless be a system of regulations adopted by the Royal Commissioners with a view to the convenience of the p üblic, which will prevent the building from being overcrowded, and afford en trance daily to but a limited number ; a number which, however large, will be but a fraction compared with the multitude desii ous of admission. Do the shopkeepers imagine that; the masses with whom the thoroughfares be sw arming will walk about with their pockets hermetically buttoned up, and obsti nately deny themselves tbe gratification of any pur chases of either real or f 'Landed necessaries, or of me mentoes of the season, (sr of presents to provincial friends ? What are my: riads of people, who have no domestic hearths on the banks of the Thames, to do with themselves through out the evening but to visit our theatres and public g .ardens, which aflbrd so many and so various opportuni ties for enjoyment at an in considerable expense? .And, as it is to be presumed, that this mighty additio ii to the metropolitan popula tion is so constituted ac cording to the ordinary lot of humanity, that its in dividual members must not merely supply the exigz ncies of our common nature by eating and drinkic g, but by likewise sleeping under cover, it may ft .irly be inferred that house keepers will not have much reason to complain. Patience, then, good .people ; and without antici pating that you are to doable your fortunes per saltum, you will ere long participate in the benefits which we augur will g enerally result from the mag nificent experiment which is the world's wonder.

TEE SHARE MARKETS moo done te-day. % A 3i Coned Ditto account, Juno to MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO 0" CL CK. Tha sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 4,000 bales, of which sou American were taken fur export. The sales comprised 3,000 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham at 6%1 to Bd., 100 Bahia at 6 3 4 d. to Bd., and 400 Surat at 3 Li s a. to 4 .d. per lb. The market was heavy, and all kinds were %d. per lb. lower.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done, but the market closed steadily. During the present week the supply of produce has in creased, and this has led to a withdrawal of orders and a slight reduction in the prices of some staples that were pre viously rather buoyant, including sugar more particularly. The consumption is good, but neither the home nor export orders are so large as they were. The very rapid and serious decline in Cotton has deterred speculators from t 34(, taking up other prod uc t s t h at might appear ['1336 to otter a temptation. It w ill b e seen that the indigo auctions have terminated, and the result is not very encou raging. The wool sales progress with tolerable activity, but the prices of the last series are not maintained. Cotton has fallen correspondingly to the decline at Liverpool. From Ceylon we are apprised of the coffee crops being quite as small as was anticipated, but large tracts of land are being laid under cultivation. The letters by the West India Mail steamer have been delivered. The cholera still lingered in Jamaica about the parishes of St. James and Hanover, and at Iron Shore Estate it raged with great malignity. A local paper contains tt e following rather unsatisfactory report upon the weather and the crops:- 5 " The weather, particularly in the parish of Trelawny, has been so dry that the crops are by no means yielding what they were expected to do in an earlier part of the season. In light soils, on some properties in the interior of the pa rish, the cane leaves have assumed, instead of the rich t 34 verdant hue they usually possess at maturity, a pale, faded, or darkish brown colour. This will make, we fear, a sad falling off in the produce of many properties. The young sprouts on rattooning estates are greatly suffering, as well as the manu cnes. 14 el% In Sc. James's the crops look better. The re cho a lera :5236% having created delay may be considered in some measure as an advantage, in enabling the planter to take off crop. The young plant in dry soils may suffer a little, like the sprouts 56% % elsewhere; but they ar e lik e l y t o b e b enef i ted after so long a [34 )56 spell of dry weather, by the old May seasons, which we hope are. near at hand. ' Ap r il s h owers ' are, i t appears, out of fashion • for this somewh a t fi c kl e mont h h as scarcely yielded a ton of water to the whole parish. On the dryer estates the produce is superior in quality, though scant in quantity." 7% The manufacture of soap had been successfully commenced in Jamaica. is. party who had an opportunity of judging reports.: '2% 96 21 "W a have b een muc h grat i f i ed at the inspection of some [122 bare of yello w soap manufactured in this city, and equal in quality to the best soap imported from England. The fac tory has been established by an enterprising Ame ;s4 rican, with the assistance, we believe, of Messrs. Hitchirus and Co., and there seems every proba bility (skits complete success. When it is considered that the annual onsumption of soap, all of which is at pra sent im ported, , amounts to something like 45,000 boxes, the average i% 27 value °if which may be estimated at 27,0001., it will be seen hoer important a matter it is, that some portions at 6 least of this annua l outlay, every penny of which is at pre -34 sent sent t out of the country, should be retained among us." Mr. G . B. Matthew, the ex-Governor of the Bahamas, and present i2onsul of her Britannic Majesty for the States of North at ad South Carolina, has brought under the notice of the Governor of South Carolina the circumstance of the coloured subjects of her Majesty arriving in Charleston be ing systi matically incarcerated in prison, until the departure of the vessel in which they arrived, under a law of the state. This prstctice has existed for a very considerab t e period of time. Mr. Matthew urges the repeal of the Carolina law, on the ground that it is repugnant to the treaty engagements existing between Great Britain and the United States, and the understanding that the permanent regulations either of police or for ports of entry for vessels, should ex tend to foreigners the same restrictions they im pose on natives of the spot where they are en forced o f a similar class and calling, and no more. He further contends that, according to the opinion of the l ate Attorney-General Wirt, the law is void, " being s igainst the constitution, treaties, and law of the dlr. United S Cates, and incompatible with the rights of all nations db• in amity with the United States." We gather from the docu ment be fore us that it is the intention of the Governor cf South U arolina to transmit Mr. Matthew's communication to the Leg islature of that state.

MAJESTY'S BIETRDAY.—TO-morrow her Majesty enters her 32d year (which is her natal day, having been born on the 24th of May, 1819), but the anniversary will not be celebrated until Saturday, the 31st instant, at Court and in the metropolis, so that the usual national de monstrations on this auspicious occasion (illuminations, &c.), will not be made until next week, when it will be observed as a holiday at the Custom -house and dock companies, the Excise and Stamp offices (which will also be closed on Thursday next, the 29th instant —Ascension-day, WOt Monday and Tuesday, 9th and 10th of June), all the dif ferent public departments at the West-end, King's and Uni • versity Collages, and the different public schools in the me tropolis and vicinity—Christchurch, Chelsea, Greenwich, Woolwich, &c. THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—It would Seem 85 if the genius of invention had presided over the erection of the Exposition Building even to its minutest details, so sud denly are unexpected urgencies met by novel means. The whole of the outer basement and deal-skirting which but now presented a raw and cold surface has, as if by the ma gician's wand, become a highly granulated wood, of a rich and cheerful hue. This has been effected by a most simple aid—a stain for wood, invented by a Mr. Stephens, of Stam ford-street, which, while it brings up and preserves the na tural vein, converts even the 'softest -working wood into an enduring and handseme material, and thus altogether dis pensing with tedious, expensive, and artificial graining. The doors of the Crystal Palace are similarly treated, and being on a better planed and more choice description of wood, exemplify the capabilities of this facile application in a very satisfactory manner.--Mornirag Herald. THE GENERAL AssEsmnr.--Lord Belhaven, the Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembl Y. arri ve d in Edinbur g h on W ednesday. There being, as last no access to the R o y a l apartments in Holyrood Palace, his Year LOrd ship is, during th e cont i nuance of the Assembly, to reside at 140, 6eorge-street, The Lord Provost and magistrates, to gether with the treasurer, the Dean of Guild, and the Con venor of the Trades, dined with his Lordship in the after noon, on which occasion the usual ceremony took place of presenting him, as the representative of her Majesty, with the keys of the city. Yesterday (Thursday) his Lordshi was to proceed in hi s pr i vate carriage frees his residence in p George- street, along Princes -street, by the North-bridge to the County -hall in the High-street, where he was to hold the usual pre ineinary levee. A large party were to dine with his Lordship at Barry's Hotel, Queen -street, at the con clusion of the business in the General Assembly yesterday; and a drawing-room, we understand, was also to be held. A second levee is to take place in the County Hall on Saturday. CAVALRY R6OIMENT FOR THE CAPE.—Tilki- is no lo - ger any doubt that a cavalry regiment will shortly be ordered to the Cape, and take up the troopers of the dis mounted Riflemen, orders having been issued to many cavalry corps now•at home to suspend the purchasing of their remounts, as the horses of the regiment ordered out will be distributed among the cavalry regiments requir ing horses. Aa is customary upon these occasions, many reports are in circulation as to which is to be the regi ment selected for this service, and that which finds most sup port is either the 12th Lancers or the 3d Dragoon Guards. We incline to the former, as heavy cavalry has already been tried at the Cape. The b(tie jacket will not be so conspicuous as the red coat was, and the lance will be a new feature, not only of great service, but in all probability tending by its appearance alone to strike /error into the minds of these half civilized hordes. The regiment ordered to the Cape will not proceed to India, as the expense of conveying them thence from the Cape would be greater than conveying a corps from England, as in both cases the transports would have to sail frd - m kome.

SUDDEN DEATH OF FREDERICK SHARMAN CRAW FORD, liSq.— We regret exceedingly to announce the death, at Crawfordeburn, of Mr. F. S.

DEATH OF MR. MUTT, THE POOR-LAW AUDITOR. —Mr. Charles Mott, the auditor for the South Lancashire Poor-law district, expired on Monday last. Mr. Mott bad incurred the displeasure of the Poor-law Board, on account of the defaleatione of the late collector for Hyde, who ab sconded with moneys belonging to that township in his pos session. Mr. Mutt, it was considered, had neglected to verify certain accounts, the examination of which would have led to the detection of the state of the collector's ba lances before he had time to get away. Mr. Mott was, therefore, suspended from the further prosecution of the audit lie had then commenced. In this state things con tinued up to a recent period, when we believe Mr. Mott re ceived instructions to proceed with his work, and he was to have commenced again on Monday morning week. On Sun day, however, he was found in his bedroom, having been seized with paralysis, and though conscious at frequent in tervals, he never spoke from the time the appalling affliction fell upon him up to that of his death, which took place last Monday. Mr. Mott was considerably past the prime of lifer —,Manchester Courier, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The question of the re' rision of the Constitution is dis cussed in all the journals . The Presse gives the I allowing account of a conversa tion in the As.ombly on this topic:— " The 28th May is dra sing nigh, and on that day the Assembly, having entered ( )t, the third year of its existence, ' can entertain the question of revising the Constitution. In that prevision, perfectly legal, MA Moulin and Morin had presented a propositi a 13 aving for object to regulate the manner in which all appli....ations to revise the Constitution are to be examined. M. G odelle moved yesterday that this proposition should be broil, g-ht forward for discussion this day. general Cavaignac opposed; that course as illegal, but the ma jority of the Assembly declared against him. We attach no importance to that decision. Fur us, the question does not relate either to tricks or to po:itical stratagems, or to the manner of proceeding. It, is quite indifferent to us wha - for malities the Assembly may think lit to employ for the pur pose of examining any p poposition for revision. We shall never Lave but one reply t,r) make to all such propositions, a reply clear, straighttorwar t I, a .d simple, to which the friends of reaction can find nothii ig to reply, in whatever manner the battle is engaged.

We read in toe Bullet in de Paris:— " The French Government has just addressed detailed in structions to General G‘ineau, relative to the aggressions against the French soldiers; at Rome. It is recommended among other things that Elie officers and privates shall only appear publicly in rather numerous bodies, so as to be in no danger of assassination, and that in the event of insult or ag gression they shall enforce respect by vigorous action."

ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL FAMILV IN THE ISLE OF WIGHt. —Soon after one o'clock this day, the Royal children ar rived at Cowes, and at six o'clock in the evening, the Fairy yacht came into harbour with her Majesty and Prince Albert on board; the Royal party were saluted by the Castle, the R. Y. S. battery, the Titania schooner yacht, G. R Stephen son, Esq., and from the Scindian troop-ship, Capt. Comme I, from which the soldiers cheered most heartily. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last evening was one of the delightful " long Thursdays," and long before the commencement of the performances every nook and corner from which a sight of the stage could be commanded was occupied. It was the first performance this season of the most brilliant, most delightful, and most effervescing of operas, Il Barbiere, and the cast was amazingly strong. Madame Sonta or , who was in ex cellent voice and spirits, was the Rosina, and sang the " Una Voce" and the Rode's air with variations with, if possible, increased brilliancy, creating a complete furore. Both these pieces were of course redemanded. Lablache was the Doctor Bartolo, and we were glad to perceive that his recent indisposition had not deprived him of one jot of his unctuously rich humour, or of his mar vellous activity. Signor Ferranti appeared for the first time as Figaro, and gave an admirable version of the part; Ferranti is what we very seldom see on the Italian stage in these northern climes, a par excellence Italian buffo, thoroughly impregnated with the restless activity and mischievous love of fun which is so characteris tic of the buffo of Italian opera. His performance was most amusing, and his singing worthy of all praise for its admirable correctness and its purity of intonation. Signor Casanova was the Basilio, and gave " La Calomnia," which we are glad to see restored to its place in the opera, in magnificent style. Calzolari made a sprightly and viva cious Almivava. and sang the music with great taste and sweetness. The opera was preceded by the second and third acts of La Muta di Portici, in which the acting of Monti and the singing of Pardini andiMassol were superb. Between the acts of the Barbie're, Carlotta Grisi danced the Truan daise, and after the opera there was the divertissement of the Cosmopolites. We understand that it is the intention of Mr. Lumley to open Her Majesty's Theatre on the evenings of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for Soiries Extraordinaires, and certainly the crowded state of the house on the nights of the regular performance (on the night of Tuesday, and again last night, for example), not only justify, but almost demand of him the adoption of some such pion f r the gratification of those eirangera at present in London, who are anxious to avail themselves of perhaps the only opportunity they may ever have of visiting the first lyrical establishment in the world.

The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second reading of the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Managerueut Bill. The provisions of the Bill embodied the recommenda tions contained in the reports of the Commissioners presented last year, and if the second reading wtre car. tied he should propose that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee, The Bishop of LOND. x opposed the Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of HARROWBY recommended that it should be read a second time, in order to be referred to a Select Committee, a recom mendation in which Lord STANLEY concurred. The Duke of &emelt:Tee opposed the second reading of the Bill. A conversatifin followed, in which the Mar. quis of LANSDOWNE, the Bishop of (Neon"), the End of ABERDEEN. and several other Peers took part, and on a division the selyind reading was carried by a ma jority of eighteen, the numbers being—Conteets, 4 6; Non-contents, 28. In the Commons, New writs were ordered for Newry and Argyllshire. Mr. RWART moved the following resolution:—" That it is expedient that the investigations which have been made in the lawsiLßicci:~gcapital punishment in England be extended to Scotland, and (as fir as possible) to the colonial possessions of this country." Mr. Fox MAULS and Sir GEORGE GREY agreed with the spirit of the resolution, but feared difficulties would be found in carrying it into effect. Mr. IluinE expressed a hope that Government would take up the subject; and Mr. fialvws explained the practice in the colonies. 1:11- tim-tely the motion was withdrawn. Mr. W. J. Fox moved, "That it is expedient to pro mote the education of the people in England and Wales by the establishment of free schools for secular instruc tion, to be supported by local rates, and managed by committees, elected specially for that purpose by the ratepayers. Sir GEORGE GREY opposed the motion. Mr. Hulls thought the property of the country was bound to afford education to those who wanted it. Mr. A. B. HOPE was opposed to all schemes of educa tion that did not give the utmost development to religi ous opinions. Colonel THOMPSON asked, why mix up religi ous in struction with matters with whi c h it had no necessary connexion? Was it absolutely impossible that boys and girls should be taught to read an d the like without teaching them religious dogmas at the same time? Mr. TRELAWNY looked upon soun d instruction as affording an additional check against crime. Even on the ground of economy the motion ought to he adopt e d. Mr. W. PATTER oppos e d the motion.

Should such a measure be deemed, hereafter, expedient. there will be ample time for introducing tin the next ses sion, as the right to present petitions for sales may be exer cised up to July, 11152. We may avail ourselves of the pre sent opportunity to contradict a report circulated, we under stand, very generally amongst the legal profession in Ireland, that it is intended to transfer the Commissioners' jurisdiction to the Irish Court of Chancery. REPRESENTATIO N OP CLA CKMANNAN.--My. W. P. Adam has addressed the electors of the United Counties of Clackmannan and Kinross. He proclaims himself in favour of an extension of the franchise, and a liberal and compre hensive system of education. He also declares himself to be a thorough free-trader. Mr. Adam is son of Admiral Sir Charles Adam, of Blair-Adam and Barns, K.C.B , who silt for the counties from 1831 to 1841, and was a Lord of the Admiralty from Lord Melbourne's return to office in April, 1835, till his resignation in September, 1841. THE DOCKYARD MEN AND THE EXHIBITION.--- An order has been promulgated among the workmen in the dockyard this morning to the effect that the period of leave , to be granted to them for the purpose of visiting the Great Exhibition of the works of Industry of all na'ions is to be extended to six days—the first half of the workmen to pro ceed to London on her Majesty's birthday, returning on the . Friday following, and the second half to proceed on the mini. versary of her Majesty's coronation. The Admiral has inti mated to the men that in case the fares of the railway are not reduced to what may be considered a low figure, he will place a vessel at their disposal for the purpose of conveying them to the metropolis.—Portsnsouth Guardian. A return made by the Poor-law Board to Parlia ment, of the cost of the in-door and out-door relief of tb.e poor in 607 unions and parishes in England and Wales, for the half-year ended at Lady-day last, has just been printed. This return shows that the total cost of the relief of the poor for the last half-year amounted to 1,679,429/., being a de crease of 140,4331., er 7.7 per cent., as conapared with the coat of relief for the corresponding half-year in 1849-50. NI SPURIOUS TEA.—Mr. Stevens, a respectable trades,- man, was fined 2501., on Tuesday last, by the Liverpool ma gistrates for manufacturing an article called tea, from the leaves of beech and plane trees. Two females were discovered in barrels on board a vessel bound to Charleston from Liverpool, a short time since, after being fourteen days at sea. Several ;others, simi larly concealed, were subsequently discovered.— Boston Pa p . : PRESENTATION TO DR. J. F CLARKE.--A very interesting ceremony took place. yesterday evening at the private residence of Dr. Webster, 24, Brook. street, Groiree nor square, where a numerous party of the most disting uished members of the meaical profession assembled to pa y - grace ful tribute of respect to one of their own body, vih a o, - from his long connexion with the profession, and still more by his able and discriminating c ontributions to the medical press, has long been recognised as one to whom his medical brethren of this and other Countries have been deeply indebted. We allude to Mr. J. F. Clarke, vice-president of the London Medical Society. The assembly was presided over by Dr. Clutterbuck, characterisedthe father oil the profession." Dr. Webster in a few words introduced tho object for which they had met, and Dr. Clutterbuck, aftor expressing his warm appreciation of the personal virtue am? professional ability of his friend Dr. Clarke, presented Oa* . g en tlenlan with a service of plate and a very elegant ink. stand. The presentation of the testimonial was suitably acknowledged by Dr. Clarke, and various complimentary and good-natured speeches were made in the course of the evening. The following inscription was engraved upon tb e nh e inkstand :—" T o J. F.

On the whole there was a fair inquiry fbr line dry qualities , et full currencies ' but the middling and i n f erior kinds met 1 i slow sale. Floating cargoes neglected. The fresh sup ply of Barley, both English and foreign, being very small, in ider 6!'o quarters, that article w as held firmly, at extreme qt rotations. Malt was offering less freely than of late.
