MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY). Although the supplies of English Wheat on sale in the leading country markets, held on Saturday, were small, the demand for that grain ruled very inactive, at barely stationary pricer. Fine foreign Wheats were mostly held at full currencies. There was rather more doing in Barley, especially malting parcels. No change took place i❑ Oats or Flour; but Beans and Peas were lower to purchase. Letters from New York, to the 30th ult., state that the Grai❑ and Flour markets were dull, without material change in the quotations. There was rather more doing in Wheat, at Dantaic, on the 2nd inst. Throughout France, Holland, and Belgium, the trade continues dull. Up to our markets last week, the arrivals of English Grain were small; but a fair quantity of Oats came to hand from Ireland. The imports from abroad, amounted to 4,150 quarters of Wheat; 3,996 Oats; 3,871 Beans; 35 Peas; 32 Tares; 6,975 Linseed; 165 Rapeseed; 336 Mustard Seed; 2,126 Sundry Seeds; 4,576 sacks and 3,705 br Is. Flour. Fresh up to this morning's market a very limited sup ply of Wheat recached us from E•sex and Kent coast wise. From Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Suffolk, several came to hand, per railway, in very middling condition. The show of samples of both red and white Wheat of home produce was comparatively small; how ever, the demand for all descriptions, especially as we had an increased number of buyers in attendance, ruled steady, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Mon day last, and at which a good clearance was effected. Several offers came to hand to ship Wheats from the east coast at previous quotations; but the !arge arrivals of foreign Flour induced great caution on the part of the millers and others. The quantity of fresh Foreign Wheat on show was comparatively small; but we were well supplied ex gra nary. Selected parcels of white moved off freely at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds very little was doing. With Fnglish Flour we were scantily supplied, but the show of both French and American was extensive. On the whole rather a large business was doing in most kinds, and late rates were well supported. 'rhe few parcels of malting Barley brought forward were speedily disposed of at an advance in the quotations of ls. per quarter. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off fieely at fully previous rates. There was rather mote inquiry for Malt, the supply of which was very moderate, and late currencies were well supported. Good fresh Oats were firm and quite as dear. In the value of damp and out-of-condition qualities no change took place. The demand for Beans ruled very inactive at late figures. The supply of foreign was extensive. All kinds of Peas moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in their quotations. Indian Corn was mostly held at full prices, but the de mand for it was inactive. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Compared with those of the two preceding weeks, the imports of foreign stock into London since this day se'nnight have been moderate; nevertheless they may be considered large even for the time of year.

With home-fed Beasts, we were very scantily supplied as to number, while their general quality was unusually inferior. Toe weather being more favourable for slaughtering, and the attend ance of both London nod country buyers large, the Beef trade rulei steady, at an advance in the quotations of Monday last of full 2d per Bibs, and a good clearance was effected. The primest Scots sold steadily, at from 3s 10d to 4s per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 2,600 short horns; from other parts of England 400 of various kinds—the remainder of he Bullock supply being derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of London. There was a decided falling tf in the supply of English-fed Sheep, but they were mos'ly in good condition. For all breeds the de mand ruled somewhat active, and the currencies im proved quite 2d p,r Sibs. The primest Old Downs realised 4s to 4s 2d per Sibs. Very few Calves were on offer, while the Veal trade was steady at 2d per bibs more money. There was more business doing in pigs, the prices of which had, in some instances, an up ward tendency.

From that time he continued to attend at the counting-house and warehouse of the pertnership, in Huddersfield, until the occurrence now complained of. It appears that some dispute arose between the parties in October, and on a day towards the latter end of that month, while Mr. Gray was in the counting-house, his partner came up to him and asked him what he wanted there? He replied. " What do you suppose I want?" and there upon Mr. Manningsly ordered him to leave the premises, which he refused to do. Mr. Manningsly then called in the assistance of his brother and clerk, and forcibly dragging him away thrust him out, and threw him down stairs. His head struck forcibly againt the wall, while his hat was completely crushed by the blow, and had the staircase not been a twisted one, it was impossible to say what would have been the consequences. Not content with dt ing him this injury, Mr. Mauningsly followed him down stairs, and told him that if he caught him there again he would kick his soul to h—. Mr. Gray applied to the local magistracy to hold his partner to bail, but they declined to interfere, and he had, therefore, been compelled to come to this court for protection. Mr. Justice PATTESON observed, that the party did not swear that he believed his life was in danger, or that he went in fear of personal violence. Mr. CLEASZY said he did not, he only went the length of swearing that he apprehended danger if he went upon the premises to attend to his business, as his partner was a powerful man of a vi o l en t t em p er . Hi s Lordship n ould perceive from the affidavit that his means of subsistence depended upon the partnership business. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Tho question is whether I ought to give relief on that ground. Mr. CLEASBY said what he submitted was this, although his client did not go generally in fear of violence, although Mr. Manningsly was not in search of him or going about to find him for the purpose of in flicting injury on him, yet that was no reason whatever for refusing this application, because his partner kept him in such terror that he could not attend to his daily avocations. Mr. Justice PATTESON was not aware of any similar case. He has no reason to apprehend danger except he goes upon the premises. Mr. CLEASBY pointed out to his Lordship that it was necessary for him to go there to look after his own in terest, and prevent the partnership property from being made away with, or the partnership debts being paid. If he had no right to be there he ought to be turned out peacably and in a legal manner. Mr. Justice PATTESON—He will have to go on the other side of the Hall to settle the partnership dispute. I think, as he is prevented by threats of serious personal injury from attending to his business, the case comes within the principle upon which the Court interferes. You may therefore take an attachment to hold the gen tleman to bail for 12 months, himself in 4001., and two sureties in 2001. Application granted. ...

THE NORFOLK ESTUARY• TURNING THE FIRST SOD. LYNN. SATURDAY, Nov. 9.—The ceremony of turn ing the first sod of this great national undertaking took place here on Friilay. After a lr - ng period of expectancy, from the year 1539 to the present, after many alterna tions of hope nod fear, many " hair-breadth escapes," many Bills and improved Bills one after another defeated by the Corms of Parliament or by the opposition of in terested parties, a commencement of the works has at length been made. The Norfolk Estuary, or Metaris Estuary, is that broad open space of sands and chan nels, entirely covered at high tide, lying between the counties o' Norfolk and Lincoln, and into which are dis charged the waters of the Ouso, the Nene, the Witham, and the Welland. There can be no doubt but that many centuries ago efforts were made by the Romans resident in Briton to reclaim portions of this waste, and in se veral instances the sea has been successfully repelled, and many hundreds of fertile acres of land per manently added to the island. This has been effected by straightening and embanking the course of the rivers outward to the estuary, and by the el ection of barrier banks, a hich have barred off the swell of the turbulent waters, and have also served to retain the soil held in susp:nsion, and brought to deposit behind them at every high tide. Within the memory of persons still living much of the district now arable was bog, and the passenger had to be conducted by guides ucross the swampy marsh, fordable only at low eater. From the time of the Earl of Bedford, the many pro prietors of the levels have, by the powers of several Acts of Parliament, carried out measure* of improvement of drainage, and many elabrate reports have been published .from tttee to time by eminent engineers upon the drain age and navigation of these districts. In possession of all this knowledge, and aware of the vast improvements yet to be gained, Lord William Bentinck, subsequently appointed Governor-General of British India, having large properties in the neighbourhood, turned his atten tion to a further inclosure of the estuary. The demise of his Lordship, however, stopped the development of his ideas, until, in 1837, the matter was again taken up by the late Lord George Bentinck, who, being Member for the borough of Lynn. placed himself at the head of the adventure. The project of that date comprehended the joint training of the several rivers to a contracted and common outfall, and the reclamation on either side of the channel on the coasts of Norfolk and Lincoln of tracts of land, amounting in all to about 110,000 acres. This plan was reported on by several engineers, Sir J. Rennie, Mr. Rendall, Professor Gordon, and others, and having been defeated in Parliament upon a point of form as to the standing orders of the House, was finally abandoned as being too comprehensive and difficult. We are informed that the late Sir J. Rennie had recom mended the magnificent plan of entirely deviating the course of the Ouse from above Lynn, turning it on the opposite side of the town and by a straight ship canal discharging its waters at once into the North Sea near to Ilunstanton. After much labour, much opposition, and much disquietude, Lord G. Bentinck and his co directors having formed a joint-stock company for the reclamation of 32,000 acres by the straightening and improving the outfall of the Ouse, obtained the powers of an Act of Parliament to authorise the project in the year 1846. The estimated cost of the works was 250,0001., which was raised in shares of 501. each, and we are in- formed, that a large proportion of the shares are held by the family and immediate friends of the late noble chairman. After the Bill WILS obtained, Lord G. Bentiuck applied himself to the pecuniary prospective remunera ttion of the company, and resolved, chiefly because of the hen untoward state of the money market, and also because he thought that other interests might be induced to assist the company, to pause before commencing the works. The result fully justified his Lordship's forethought; and the town of Lynn and the Eau Brink Commissioners, representing above 200,000 acres of land, have agreed to contribute each to the company the sum of 60,0001., making a clear bonus to the shareholders of 120,0001. be side their first estimated profits. In 1849, the company, under the guidance of their present chairman, Sir W. Ffolkes, obtained a Bill to empower them to receive the contributions of Lynn and the Levels. Sir W. Ffolkes, adhering to the policy of the Noble Lord, and in concert with the directors, resolved not to proceed with the works until every obstacle was removed, every possible scrutiny submitted to, and until the whole scheme, as regarded the several interests, was submitted to the se verest test. Under such circumstances the Norfolk Es- tuary Company commenced their labours on Friday. The day appointed for the ceremony was kept as a holiday in the town, the shops and offices having been closed at eleven o'clock. A procession, formed by the members of the corporation, the chairman and directors of the Estuary. Company, the gentlemen of the Bedford Level, and several of the most influential inhabitants of the borough and county, left the Tuesday market-place ,at noon, and proceeded by the New-cut Bridge to North .Lynn. Triumphal arches were erected along the line of procession, and the large concourse of persons, accom panied by musical instruments, and marching beneath waving banners, imparted a more than usual animation to the scene. The spot from which the sod was cut was in the centre of the channel. The ground around was staked out in a circle, and kept by a strong body of police. The chairman, on entering the enclosure, was received by Sir John Rtnnie and Mr. reto, amidst great cheer ing. At this moment there could not have been less than 10,000 persons present. Sir William Ftolkes then took the spade and in a very workmanlike manner broke up the ground, and commenced filling the barrow, in which process he was assisted by the Earl of Elardwicke, the Eta of Leicester, Mr. R. G. Townley, M.P., the R,-v. G. Townley, Mr. A. Hammond, Mr. R. Bagge, Mr. J. Fryer, and I.liSs Wodehouse, who severally deposited a spade of earth upon it. It was then wheeled by the Mayor of Lynn some distance, amidst hearty rounds of applause. _ _ _ After the ceremony had teen concluded, Sir W. FFOLLES addressed the spectators, and ex pressed his hope that the great undertaking which the company had at last commenced might be brought to a successful issue. The procession then reformed and re turned to the town. In the evening, the Estuary Company and their friends assembled at a magnificent banquet in the Town Hall. Covers were laid for 150 guests. The chair was taken by Mr. Walter Moyse, the Mayor of Lynn. Amongst the guests we noticed the Earl of Leicester, the Earl of Hardwicke, Viscount Jocelyn, M.P., Sir W. J. H. B. Ffolkes, Bart., Sir J. Rennie, Bart., Mr. R. G. Townley, M.P., Mr. S. M. Pete, M.P., the Rev. Canon Wode house, the Revs. H. Ffolkes, J. Bowen, 0. Carrie, W. Gale Townley; Major Swatman, Captain Curtis, Lieutenant Garland, Lieutenant Curtis, Messrs. A. Hamond, R. Barge, E. Everard, F. Cresswell, W. Everard, J. Fryer, W. Ffolkes, H. Bruce, 6. Hogge, J. Green, E. Eyre, F. R. Wilson, Simpson, G. G. Day (St. Ives), C. Goodwin, P. Wilson, L. Self. E. B. Manning, C. Burcham, E. L. Swatman, R. Pit cher, F. R. Partridge, &c. After the cloth had been removed, and the usual toasts disposed of, Viscount JocELYN rose to propose " The health of the Chairman and Directors of the Norfolk Estuary Com pany." His Lordship said, I regret that the honour of proposing the toast, which 1 believe may be regarded s the toast of the evening, not :fallen into other hands, by which justice might be done to it in a more satisfactory manner than I can pretend to. I could have wished that it had fallen into the hands of some person better acquainted with the subject, and more thoroughly conversant with its details; but though I am not quali fied, I think it may be fairly permitted to me, my Lords send Gentlemen, to congratulate you upon the auspicious opening of that undertaking which has been this day commenced, an undertaking in which many of you are so deeply interested. That undertaking is not, indeed, upon the same scale of magnitude as was originally proposed, when it was contemplated that we should add another county to the empire, by inclosing some 100,000 square acres of land. I think the calculation was originally 200,000 acres within the bounds of our estuary, but I believe that the present pro ject has a similar undertaking in view, though more limited in its details, and I cannot but think that we are justified in looking forward to the day when the enterprise, even as originally contemplated, may be eventually carried out. It is my conviction that the undertaking in which we are now engaged is one of the utmost importance to the interest of the neigh bourho4. I believe that it must be of great practical utility, having, as it has, for its object the more effectual drainage of lead. It will bring into cultivation large tracts of land now waste and desolate; give an opening for capital to be employed in the vicinity, and create fresh fields for the market of labour. These considera- (ions would be in themselves sufficient to justify me in giving to this enterprise my warmest approval and my most cordial cc-operation, but I confess I eannot wholly view it in that liberal light, I must look on it in a more selfish aspect, as an undertaking which is vitally connected with the welfare of this great and enterprising town, as being calculated to enlarge its commerce and increase its wealth. If I am informed rightly, the cut now proposed to be made will give you a deep, straight, and safe chan nel, where now there is a shallow, circuitous, and some times a dangerous one.—(Hear, hear.) If I am rightly informed, it will give to your shipping two hours more in each tide for the purpose of navigation. These are great objects in the economy of time and expense, and sufficiently attest the vast utility and extraordinary im portance of the undertaking.—(Hear.) Some weeks since it was my fortune to be sojourning in the town of Glasgow, and there I saw the effect of enterprise and well applied capital in creating a great and .thriving city. Ships are now brought into the very heart of the town which formerly lay many miles below it. The effect of these improvements is that the imports and exports have doubled, and now Glasgow is the third seaport in the kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) Now, looking.around at the competition which is carried on between the borough in whi c h we are now assembled and the neighbouring sea port towns, and considering the greater facilities for im provement which we possess over Wisbeach and Boston, I cannot but think that there is no exertion, however ar duous, no sacrifice of toil and money, however great, which we ought not willingly to make in order to main tain that prominent position which it appears designed that we shou!d ,ccupy.—(llear, hear.) I could wish that my honourable friend and colleague were here this evening, that he might give you the expression of his feelings upon this interesting subject with that eloquence and a bil i ty which you know him to possess —an elo quence and ability which have already gained for him a high position in the House of Commons, and which lead ma ny to hope he may yet emulate the great abilities and the great qualities of his illustrious father.— (Loud cheers.) 1 am persuaded that he is as sincerely anxious for the welfare of this town as I am myself, and I am confident that nothing would have prevented him from being here this evening had it been possible for him to attend. But you are aware that he is absent in a fo reign country, where he is studyirg to acquire that in formation and that knowledge which are so necessary to a public man. I oan only say on his part, and my own, that there is no attention which we will not deem it a happy privilege to bestow on any measure which our constituents may think to be beneficial to the town. I will not enter into the history of this undertaking. Many speakers will follow me who will be better qualified to do so than I, but I cannot avoid observing that it is not possible for any one who has paid any attention to these subjects not to be struck by the vast magnitude and im mense importance of the various drainage operations which have been undertaken in this county, from the first works that were projected by the Earl of Bedford in 1652, to the formation of the Eau Brink Cut.—(Hear, hear.) There is no man, I bay, who must not be struck with the magnitude and success of these operations. We hays all heard of that Monarch who, in the plenitude of pride and power, when seated on the beach, willing to reprove the impiety of his Ministers and courtiers, vainly I bade the waters to retire—little did :he dream, when he impiously attempted to imitate the Almighty, that the day would yet arrive when the Almighty would give to man that knowledge, that science, and that strength which would enable him to turn the waste of waters into luxuriant plains, producing food and affording em ployment to an industrious population.—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) The traveller is struck with asto nishment when told that over the fields where some weeks ago he might have seen luxuriant crops and bus bsndmen busily pursuing their toil, the tidal waters swept a tew }ears since without check or hindrance. But the energy and genius of man has accomplished these great wonders, and in these and similar achieve meats are to be seen the proudest monuments of the indomitable industry cf Englishmen.—(Entbusiastic ap plause.) You, Mr. Mayor, were recently afforded in your civic capacity an opportunity which was not per mitted to me of joining in that magnificent banquet which you and ycur brother mayors gave in the city of York in return for the hospitality to which you were invited by the Lord Mayor of London, when he desired last summer to discuss with you the prospects of that Exhibition at which the people of England have chal lenged the nations of the world to compete with them in industry and skill. At that brilliant assembly in York you had the opportunity of hearing a speech delivered by an illustrious Prince, who, although of foreign birth, is now the first English subject, and shows that during his residence in this country he has learned to under stand and appreciate the English character. That illustrious personage well portrayed in a speech the doubts and hesitation which invariably attend upon every fresh undertaking in this country. He described the minuteness and jealousy with which every new pro ject was scanned, but he did not fail to remind us that when we were once persuaded of the value and utility of an enterprise there is no sacrifice, however great, no exertion, however arduous, that we are not prepared to make in its behalf.—(Hear, hear.) These remarks do not seem inappropriate to the undertaking in which we are now engaged, for we all remember with what doubts and diffieurties it was surrounded at its onset. It has triumphed, however, over all these obstacles, and we have now the consolation of reflecting that it is pot an undertaking put forward by a set of speculators, but a bort fide project, in which the inhabitants of the entire neighbourhood are deeply interested. Without meaning to allude to any political difference that I may haie bad with some of the valued friends around me, I trust I may be permitted to say, that it is with gratification I observe, that at a period when the agricultural interest may be said to be in some doubt as to the effect of past legisla tion, a body of men has been found willing to embark heart and soul in such an undertaking as that which we have to-day so auspiciously commenced.—(Hear.) " Hope springs eternal in the human breast." —(Hear, hear.) Or perhaps it is that they agree with me that, whatever may happen, whatever may be in the womb of the future, the agricultural interest shall not perish.—(Hear, hear.) Would that they would go one single step further, and agree with me that, by the exercise of that energy which they are continually dis playing, and which they exhibit at this moment in a re markable degree, by the application of that science which is yet in its infancy, they may pass through that ordeal unscathed.—(Hear, hear.) The difficulties which encompassed the promoters of the work which we have this night assembled to celebrate, were numerous and serious. One by one they have vanished, but we have sustained a loss which can never be retrieved.—(Hear.) I believe there is no name more indelibly stamped on this great undertaking than the name of Lord George Bentinck.—(Vehement applause.) I thought it—l knew it. I knew there was no assembly where that name would be received with greater reverence and respect than this. It was in this town that we first learned to know his great abilities, his sound sense, his indomitable courage, his fearless ho nesty.—(Hear.) It is in this town that were first ap preciated those qualities which raised him in a day to be the leader of a party. I almost think I see him with us ; it seems but yesterday he stood amongst us full of life and vigour and hopeful ambition.. Ile is past, but his memory remains ; and it is such a memory as in cites men to lofty deeds and noble enterprises. It is alone by such qualities as he possessed that men can hope to succeed who contemplate embarking in such an undertaking as the present.—(Hear.) It is by similar qualities alone, by fearless courage, by unwearying energy, by undaunted perseverance, that undertakings such as these are conducted to a successful conclusion.— (Loud cheers.) My Lords and Gentlemen, I will not further trespass upon your time, but thank you for the attention with which Sou have heard me. I beg leave to propose the health of the chairman and directors of the Estuary Company.—(Cheers.) Sir W. FFOLKES acknowledged the compliment. He said, I would willingly have spared addressing the com pany on this occasion, for the gout has deprived me of the use of my limbs, and a mouth's confinement in my room has nearly deprived me of the use of my tongue.— (Laughter.) 1 should, however, be very ungrateful if I could not find words to return thanks for the compliment you have paid the directors of the Estuary Company. We have been labouring from year to year, and many difficulties have assailed us. It is not necessary for me to enter now into detail, but I may say that nothing but the perfect confidence the directors had in the policy and advantages to be derived from the scheme could possibly have carried them along. Amongst the difficulties with which we have had to contend, certainly not the least, was the premature death of our late lamented chairman, Lord G. Bentinck; and no man more than myself regrets his death, because I have been called upon to bold a situation which he would have filled more ably.— (Cheers.) By degrees, however, our difficulties were overcome—the public got confidence in the work, ar.d after some negotiation by which we re ceived the noble present of 60,0004 from the town and trade of Lynn, and 60,0001. from the gen tlemen of the Levels—we felt ourselves upon pretty sure ground, and determined to proceed with the works as quickly as possible. Allusion has been made to the smallness of the scheme—the first plan was certainly on a more extensive scale, and comprehended the reclama tion of 150,000 a cres o f land, which was afterwards ex tended to, I believe, 200,600 or 300,000 acres. We found, by the state of the money market, it was impos sible to carry out any works to that extent, and we therefore determined to confine ourselves to a smaller scale. The present Act is for the enclosure of 32,000 acres of land, but I confidently hope that those younger than myse f will live to see 150,000 serer or more re claimed.—(Cheers.) I wish I could live to see it. I have taken a great interest in the measure, but if I live t l / 4 ) see the 32,000 'acres reclaimed, it is all I can expect. I am sure after the fatigue which I have undergone this day, you will excuse my saying more; but I had almost forgotten that I had turned my back upon this beautiful trophy (turning to the silver spade which was suspended bebied the Mayor). I am proud of such a present, and upon such an occasion especially—it will go down to my family as an heir-loona, and I hope when my descendants look upon it they will not think that I have been an idle man in my day and generation.—(Loud cheers.) I have great pleasure in proposing to you "The health of the Lord-Lieutenant of the County."—(Loud cheers.) The Earl•of LEICESTER proposed "The health of the Mayor of Lynn."—(Applause.) The MAYOR, on rising to acknowledge the toast, said —I can assure you I deeply feel the compliment you have been pleased to pay me. The only drawback to my pleasure has been the position I happen to occupy, knowing my inability to do justice to it.—(Hear, hear.) I have held that position in consequence of the indispo sition of the worthy chairman of the board of estuary directors; nevertheless, I thank you for the honour, and I assure you my thanks are as heartfelt as any one can give you.—(Cheers.) During the time I have had the honour of holding the office of mayor, it has been nay fortunate lot to be present at two of the greatest pageants ever witnessed in England—l allude to the dinners given by the Lord Mayors of London and York, but I can assure you neither of them were so gratifying Ito my feelings as this meeting to-day.—(Loud cheers.) The vast undertaking which we have this day commenced will be the greatest possible boon to the town of Lynn. It will tend to give encouragement not only to our shipping, but to the agricultural labourers who will be employed on 32,000 acres of land—land which will last so long as the soil will be—so long as the soil shall last —in perpetuity—not as iu the case of a railway, which, although it increases labour for a time, is never inter fered with afterwards. Before I sit down I beg to pro pose to you the healths of the two noble representatives of the borough.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Stanley's absence from England was the only cause which prevented him from being present on this occasion. I am proud to see Lord Jocelyn here, and I have great pleasure in giving you " The health of oar Members."—(Loud cheers.) Viscount Jocelyn returned thanks. Mr. 4. HIKOND, of Castle Acre, said that he had now to propose a toast which, happily fbr him, would require but few remarks, as it was the health of a nobleman well known in the borough, and whose family had re presented it in bygone years. The nobleman to whom he referred vess distinguished by the rare combination of the highest social qualities, with habits and capacity for business such as were seldom to be met with even in persons of less elevated rank. Those who knew him were well sensible of the energy and activity of his mind, and those who were well acquainted with the details of the present undertaking were sensible that the directors were greatly indebted to him for his keen and clear suggestions. It was scarcely necessary for him to add that the nobleman to whom he referred was the Right Honourable Lord Orford, Lord High Steward of the borough.—(Loud cheers.) Having intimated the purpose for which he had risen, he (Mr. Hamond) might now without impropriety resume his seat, and he should do so were it not that he had an impres sion that he might perhaps say a few words which might not be deemed inappropriate to the purpose of their meeting. He was not prepared to enter into any details respecting the project which had been that day so auspi ciously commenced, but he could not help saying that he did not think the undertaking had been sufficiently lauded. He would take leave to give them his opinion as a practical farmer. He was nut ashamed to say that it was in that capacity that he had given his co-opera tion to the design fur establishing the Norfolk Estuary Company. It was not to be questioned that the undertaking was one encompassed with difficultie s, b nor were those difficulties simply such as were to e expected from men ; they had a powerful enemy to contend with in the sea itself. The war which *hey waged against that crafcy and determined adversary was such as Mr. Quaker Bright himself might view without alarm. They had no Gesigu to slaughter men , and they viewed bloodshed with as much horror a the most sentimental philosophers. They went to battl with no other weapons but that grubbing tool (pointing tcy the spade, which had been nted in the ceremony (f ti-e -morning, and which was suspended over the chairman's head), and the only lust of conquest by which they were actuated was a determination to compel the sea to their yoke, and to make her subservient to the interests of hu manity.—(Hear, hear.) The land which they proposed to reclaim would not fall back into a state of wasteit would generously compensate for the toils of the hue bandmen. Once reclaimed, they might grow wheat and beans on it for ever, and then wheat and beans.— (Laughter.) They were going to reap a harvest of wheat from fields which now only yielded a crop of waves, and they were willing to make a fair bargain with the towns people. They would say to them —we will buy your goods if you will buy our corn. . It was with a view to bring about such a state of things as this that he for one had joined the undertaking. and he was persuaded that, viewed in that light, the praject was as safe and sound an investment as a practical farmer could possibly engage in. He had spent years of his lite in the dismal experiment of turning heath into corn, and that, too, at a great ex pense, and he confes:,ed that he was sickened of the ope ration. Do what he might—toil as he might—spend as he might—he found that his land after reclamation was not worth more than 12s. per acre—(Laughter)—but they had now a fair prospect of reclaiming, at very little expense, land which, at a moderate calculation, would be worth 30s. or 40s. per acre. Where was the use of repining and making fuss about the low price of corn, which they could not help? . (Hear, hear, and laughter.) I here only course was to incr.ase the production—they should do what they could to make their own po s i t i on secure, and if they saw a neighbour sinking, they should hold out their hand and help him up. That was the way to go to work—thus only could they hope to pre serve self-respect, and the respect of the world. They should meet their destiny like men, and not give way to selfish whimpering. The speaker concluded amid loud and general applause by proposing " The health of the Right Hon. Lord Orford. the High Steward of the Borough," which was druck with the usual honours. The Earl of HARDWICKE proposed " The health of Mr. J. Fryer, late Chairman of the Corporation of the Bedford Level." Mr. FRYER returned thanks. Several other complimentary toasts followed, and the company separated, In the evening there were illuminations, and a display of fireworks in the market place.

This case came before his Honour upon the excep tions to the Master's report, allowing exceptions taken by the plaintiffs to the answer of the defendants. The case relates to questions of account between the defen dants, who are merchants in London, and the plaintiffs, who are merchants at, Calcutta. The case, which is of no interest except to the parties, occupied the Court. the whole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL and Justices COLERIDGE, WIGHTMAN, AND ERLE.) WILLIAMS v. MORGAN. This was an action of replevin, brought to try the right of the defendant to somewhere about 1,000 acres of unenclosed lands, in the county of Brecon. The trial was before Mr. Baron Parke, at the last assizes for Bre conshire, and lasted four days, the result being a verdict for the defendant. . . Mr. Sergeant HERBERT JONES this morning applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the grounds that the verdict was contrary to evidence, and of misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge. The question involved is the case was whether certain lands called Monetb-y.gloth, - which is Welsh for the Mountain of the Rock, was called or reputed to be held as part, parcel, or member of one of certain farms which were conveyed to one Reynold Davis, an ancestor of the defendant, by Lord Jersey in 1819. The points in the argument were only interesting to the parties con cerned. Lord CAMPBELL said he was of opinion that there was no misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge who tried the cause. With respect to the evidence, he would consult Mr. Baron Parke before deciding whether the rule should he granted on the ground of the verdict being contrary to the evidence. The rest of the judges concurred in the propriety of this course. CIRR W. COLE. This was an action of trespass to recover a compensa tion in damages for,tho injuries alleged to be sustained by one .tiosetta Carr, an infant suing by her next friend, who was run over by the defendant's cart. The plaintiff was nonsuited on the trial, and in the course of last week Mr. Hawkins, on the part of the plaintiff, moved for a rule nisi to set aside the nonsuit and enter a verdict for 101. damages. The Costa took time to consider their decision. Lord C A MPBELL this morning said he was of opinion that the rule should be refused. The ground on which the Court proceeded was that the action was one of tres pass on the case, and that the plea of not guilty raised the issue as to whether there was negligence or not on the part of the defendant, and as the jury found that there no negligence, the Court were of opinion that the verdict ought not to be disturbed. Rule refused accordingly. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) GRAY v. )lANNINGSLY. Mr. CLEASBY was instructed, on behalf of Mr. Gray, to move for leave to file articles of peace against a gen tleman nam e d Manningaly. Mr. Gray, who was in court, was formerly a cotton-qinner at Glasgow, re ceiving a considerable income from his business, and Mr. Manniugsly was a woollen cloth merchant, at lad been previous transactions between them, Mr. Gray was der.field.

The British an d North American Royal Mail steam-ship America, Captain Sharmon, passed Holy head at a very early hour this morning, and arrived here about mid-day. This fine vessel left Boston on the 30th ult., m a d e the fortnightly call at Halifax on the 2d, and bri ngs from 60 to 70 passengers. The news is not import an t so far as the United States are concerned.i The advices from Mexico, however, are importa n t to the commercial world. The state of financial affairs in that . country was so disastrous that the Fi nance Minister felt himself compelled to announce his determination of suspending payments, unless he were authorised to draw upon the one and a half million of dollars which still remained of the American indemnity. From Port-au-Prince we learn that the Domini cans were resorting to the strongest possible measures in order to repel the threatened invasion of the Haytian people. Advices from Havannah do not speak encou ragingly of the affairs of Cuba. The island had been thrown again into ferment by fresh reports of an in vasion. The Canadian intelligence does not possess a feature worth extracting. From our United States news we learn that the Fugitive Slave Bill was more unpopular than ever. The greatest obstacles were thrown in the way of those of the authorities who were resolute in the carrying out of its provisions. COMMERCIAL NEWS. The Money-market at New York, since the depar ture of the Arctic, had been very easy. Money was plentiful, and could be obtained at very moderate rates. The general trade of the country continues in the same satisfactory condition as before. Exchange on London, 114 1101 (the market was very firm); on Hamburgh, 36 to 361. The market for breadstuffs was rather quiet, and not many transactions reported. Holders were wait ing further advices from England. Prices were as follows :—Western Canal flour, 4 dolls. 50e. to 4 dolls. 62ic. (very firm); Genessee prime wheat, 7 doll. 12c. to 1 doll. 14e. per GC/1b..; 'lndian corn, round yellow, 68c. to 70c. per bushel. The cotton market at New York and other ports had been most active since the Arctic's departure. Large sales had been made and prices had advanced. The following are the latest quotations in the New York market :—Uplands and Florida mid. fair to fair, 141 to 15. Freights were unaltered and steady. TWO DAYS LATER. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX.) Previous to the departure of the America from Halifax, advices two days later were received on board, by telegraph, from New York. There is nothing of importance in the commercial items. In the political intelligence, however, we have an announcement from President Fillmore that he had determined on calling out the military to enforce the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Bill. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY NIGHT. The Dee, with W es t India and Mexican mails, arrived this evening. She brings 280,480 dollars in the aggregate, 30,000 of which are on account of Mexican dividends. There are no later dates from Jamaica or California. The cholera had disappeared at Acapulco. Pa mina and the Isthmus were healthy. It was re ported that the Nicaraguans were about to make an attempt to recover Grey Town. The cause of the Dee's late arrival was in consequence of the Clyde having met with bad weather in the Gulf of Mexico, which prevented her reaching St. Thomas's in proper time. There are no mails from Tampico. A revo lution had broken out at Panama the object of which was to establish a ne w republic, and to annex it to the United States. It was a signal failure.

THE NATIONAL CONCERTS. Mr. Balfe's new " Hunting Chorus" was performed for the first time on Saturday, with complete success. It is a composition quite characteristic of the subject, and is sung by a limited, but carefully selected, English chorus. It is instrumented for violoncellos, trombones, and horns only, and each class of voice —the first and second tenors, and the first and second basses—has separate passages. The composition is replete with animation, and fully partakes of the sylvan character. The most striking feature in the chorus is where it is necessary to describe the death of the stag, and the music suddenly changes from the boisterous and animated to the subdued and plaintive. The chorus was rapturously encored. LYCEUM THEATRE. On Saturday evening the performances at this house, which had been suspended for upwards of a week, owing to the severe accident which temporarily deprived Mr. C. Matthews of the use of his hand, were resumed. No novelty was produced ; but the theatre, although not positively crowded, was ex tremely well filled, and the audience manifested their condolence to the manager on his misadventure, and their pleasure at his return by a cordial welcome, and frequent bursts of applause as he made his points. We are glad to find that the injury was not more se rious. Little diminution—if indeed any at all—was discernible in the spirit and vivacity of his impersona tion, and his movements were as agile as ever. With his usual adroitness Mr. Mathews made light of the inconvenience of acting with his arm in a sling, and the wounded band in a black bandage; and not the slightest awkwardness was perceptible from that embarrassing appendage—from which, however, we wish him a speedy riddance. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A new tragedy, in five acts, entitled The Templar, was produced here on Saturday with triumphant and most deserved succes. The author, Mr. Slous, is a new aspirant for dramatic fame, and he bids fair to become one of the best writers of acting plays of the day. He thoroughly understands the art of construc tion, and never commits the fault, the unnatural fault, of delaying the action of his drama in order to give his characters an opportunity of spouting sickly sentimentalities in misty language; his characters are all human beings, not monsters of perfection or of vice, and they speak a human language and are actu ated by human feelings; we feel with them and we un dental:A their expressions. The play is excellently well built, the interest is gradually worked up through every act, and the climax does not come until the end of the play. The scene is laid on the coast of Normandy, the time is at the rime of the destruction of the Dmplars, and thus runs The plot :—Gaston la Marche, a French noble of the sect of the Albigenses, is living in the condition of a poor fisherman on the coast, with his daughter Isoline. In the persecution of his sect his castle had been sacked, and his wife and son mur dered, he himself having escaped with his infant daughter. The author of his ruin, Aymer de la Roche, has become a Templar, and is master of the Preceptory near which La Marche and his daughter dwe.t. A secret attachment has been formed between Isoline and Bertrand, a young soldier, who has con cealed from her that he is the follower of the Templar, and is himself under the monastic vow of the order. At length he reveals to her this secret, which she hears with grief and horror, and resolves to tear herself from him for ever. She seeks her father, and im plores him to fly with her to some other abcde, but withholds the cause of her agitation, till pressed by his questions, she reveals her secret. La Marche dis covers another secret, by reading (somewhat irregu larly) a letter addressed to De la it oche, of which, in his lowly capacity, be has been employed to be the bearer ; be discovers that his daughter's lover is the son of his arch-enemy the Templar, towards whom be nourishes implacable hatred. Thirsting for revenge, he seeks De la Roche, to whom he denounces Ber trand, as having, in breach of his vows, carried on an unholy intercourse with a woman. He contrives that his daughter shall again meet her lover ; and, in proof of his accusation, conducts the Master of the Templars to a place where he hears Bertrand urging Isoline to fly with him. Bertrand is instantly seized, solemnly tried for breach of his vow, and condemned to death. The Master offers him his life on condition of his revealing the partner of his crime, an offer which he firmly and scornfully rejects. La Marche, who, in the disguise of a monk, has wit nessed thetrial, is touched to the heart by the youth's nobleness, and determines to save him. Seizing an opportunity, he communicates to Bertrand the secret of his birth (of which the youth himself is ignorant), and tells him to seek an interview with his father and reveal it to him, giving him also the means of proof. But Bertrand's guards refuse to conduct him to the Master's presence ; he is conducted to the scaffold, and the moment of his death has almost arrived when Isoline, who has made her way into the interior of the - Preceptory by climbing over broken arches and ruined walls, throws herself wildly at the Master's feet, exclaiming that it is his own son who is about to suffer death. The stern Templar at first repulses her, but La Marche, who has followed her, avouches the truth. While the Templar hastily countermands the execution, the trumpet signal of death is heard, and all seems over, whe❑ suddenly there are sounds of conflict; a great body of troops, under the King's lieutenant, have stormed the castle. The soldiers of the Temple de fend themselves bravely. Bertrand rushes to his' father, and fights by his side. But the old man is slain ; his troops are routed ; and Philip of Valois, en tering at the head of his forces, proclaims the dissolu tion of the order and the banishment of the knights from France ;at the same time absolving from their vows the inferior grades of the order, and thus remov ing the bar to the union of Bertrand and Isoline. The Fart of Gaston de la Marche was sustained by Mr. Charles Kean, and that of Isoline, his daughter, by Mrs. Charles Kean ;and never have we seen either of them to greater advantage. The scene in the second act, in which the old father discovers that his daughter has not given hies the whole of her confi dence, was superbly acted both by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean ; and in the scene in which Gaston denounces Bertrand to the Templar, Mr. Charles Kean was most effective. The look of pride and hate which he casts on the Grand Master, when he orders him to kneel as a serf, was the very perfection of acting. Fine, very fine was he in the trial scene; and in the next scene, when he dare not look at his daughter crossing the ruined arch, but in agony listens to the account the woodman gives of her progress, and then %hen he hears she is safe falls senseless to the ground, giving one agonized shriek, he was equal to his father. Mrs. Kean's delineation of ihe gentle, loving Iroline,was beautifully pathetic; and Mr. Belton gave a most spirited version of the part of Ber trand. The mist en scene was beautiful. The sea-coast scene was equal to the best of Stanfield's productions, and for gorgeous magnificence we have seldom seen anything to approach the chapter of the Knights Templars, assembled for the trial of Bertrand. Beautiful exceedingly, too, was the subsequent scene of the ruined arch leading to the fortress of the Templars. At the conclusion the applause was rap turous. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean were first called on, then Mr. Belton, and then there were loud calls for the author, who bowed his thanks from a private box. The house was-crowded in every part.
