THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, perience in Committees, whether there was not great advantage in such a course, inasmuch as every detail of the Bill would to fully considered, Lae(' an opportuuiry would' be at?" atded of rejeetieg every ohjectioeable pro vision 'in V-e its wag quite ready to state that if this course were adopted, he ahould not consider the }Louvain any degree pledged to that which had been objected t o i n the Bill —v i z., an absolute renewal all leases of Ch urc h p ro p ert y for ever. He found tif nothing - in the prea m ble or in the wordieg of the Bill to prevent the Committee rejfctiog, or limiti ng or regul a ti ng t h e c laim—if not the' right of l essees, in the way most conducive to the interests . of the Church, taking into e ,nsideration what the Righ. Rev. Prelate had admitted to he 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 poe:er or 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 p rogress being made in the question this session. For fifteen years the sub set hag occupied the consideration of the public gene rally, and of the occupiers uader the Church, and of the Church itself in particular, and some settlement of it had been looked forward to by all parties. By sus penditer that settlement the interests of the Church, and also of the lessees, had been deteriorated, because it had been found impossible to carry on improvements and to develop the resources of the property held , by the Church. An expe ctat 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 a Committee. He submitted, there fore, on the understanding that the Bill be sent to a Select Committee, that their Lordships should now agree to read it 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 bow and by what system of manage ment the capi tu l ar and episcopal property of the Church might be rend ere d more productive of benefit to_ t the State, and m os t conducive to the spiritual welfareofhe people, d ue regard being had to the just and reasonable claims of th e p resent holders of C hurc h pro perty under for the lease or ot h erw i se. —(Hear, hear.) He hope d , reasons stated by the Noble Lord Noble Marquis, opposite , that their Lordship s would take this course. The in answering the objection of the omitted to read t h e Noble Lord, had re ferred to t h e pream bl e , but h had modifications as herein a f ter qualifying words " with : , contained." It was desirable bl that the interes ts o f all should be duly considered, and if, as the Nobl e E ar l on the cross benches feared, the Bill would not pass this emlsion, he could only assure him that it was o ne oae of those cases to which the old proverb of " the more haste the worse speed" was very applicabl e . R e begged to move the amendment. The Earl of CARLISLE opposed the amendment. After the discussions that had taken place—after the general concurrence of opinion with respect to the pro visions of the Bill—after the question had been before the public for upwards of tea years, and had been last year the subject of a special 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. He was astonished that the Right Rev. Prelate for Oxford should have laid any stress on the mcditying 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 Itiever such a report came bsf .re them, there would be another Select Committee moved for, to consider the Bill. BO that the whole qie- stion would be postponed. Quito cart in that the country would disapprove of The withdr4eal of the Bill, be felt bound to give his decided o2feeitton to tee amendment. TtorEarl of ABERDEEN' , did not rise to speak on the tactics of the 'slit, but as the Net.le Earl had spoken of the eeeontl readiner.f 4 ei a matter of courtesy he wished to recall to this' Lordship's recollection what the second reading of a Bill tae t. As the oldest mem ber the flou,'e },re, en he thought he was entitled to offer his opinion that the second reading of a B'll—spi:e of all understaudit g end agreeceents—w.is an affirmation or the principle of that Bill. Ha knew it was not alwa easy to explain what the principle of a Bill was, but It the princiele or tt.is - Bill was as represented by the Right Rev. Prelate, the convert:ien of 15esea for lif e into lesses in perpetuity, that would be what they would affirm by reaoing the Bill a second time. In a Commitee they might steal 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 sews the principle of the Bill? His Noble Friend had State" 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 due 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 adopted a course which would virtually prevent all legis lation on the subj-ct this session. After a few words from the Archbishop of CANTER BURY and the Earl of PO W IS, both a whom were in ,. audible, their Lordships divided, Contents Non-Contents Majority for the second reading ... —lB The Bill was then read a second time. Their Lordships then adjourned. SOIREES EXTRAORDINAIRES, BAnonraTzr., 3011. WOrD W.S. W.—light breeze and dull weather. ... 46 ... 28 rizATitS ROYAL, ILA ibLARK r; . r. is.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The question of the revision of the Constitution is dis cussed in all the journals. The Presse gives the following account of a conversa tion in the Assembly on this topic:— "The 28th May is drawing nigh, and on that day the Assembly, having entered on the third year of its existence, can entertain the question of revising the Constitution. In that prevision, perfectly legal, MM. Moulin and Morin had presented a proposition having for object to regulate the manner in which all applications to revise the Constitution are to be examined. M. Godelle moved yesterday that this proposition should be brought forward for discussion this day. fellers] Cavaignac opposed that course as illegal, but the ma jority of the Assembly declared against him. We attach no importance to that decision. For us, the question does not relate either to tricks or to political stratagems, or to the manner of proceeding. It is quite indifferent to us what for malities the Assembly may think fit to employ for the pur pose of examining any proposition for revision. We shall never have but one reply to make to all such propositions, a reply clear, straightforward, and simple, to which the friends of reaction can find nothing to reply, in whatever manner the battle is engaged. That reply is—No revision without the repeal of the law of May 31. However the struggle may be conducted, such is the right, such the truth !" Tho Committee charged to examine the proposition of M. CRAPOT, relative to the right of petition, assembled yesterday. Among the clauses adopted by the Com mittee is one which interdicts women and minors from signing petitions, except on affairs concerning them selves personally. M. QUENTIN BAUCEARD was chosen as reporter. M. DE CABRAL, an attacE• of the French Embassy at Naples, has arrived in Paris, and will be followed in a few days by M.

We read in the Bulletin de Paris:— ' " The French Government bas just addressed detailed in structions to General Gemeau, relative to the aggressions against the French soidiers at Rome. It is recommended among other things that the 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 gresston they shall enforce respect by vigorous action."

The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second read ling of the Episcopal and Cspitular Estates Managemm it Bill. The provisions of the Bill embodied the recomx nenda tions contained in the reports of the Commis sionera presented last year, and if the second reading we re car ried he should propose that the Bill be refer a ed to a Select Committee. The Bishop of LONDON opposed the Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of Hair ROWBY recommended that it should be read a second i6j m e , i n order to be referred to a Select Committee, a recom mendation in which Lord STANLEY concurred. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH opposed the second : reading of the Bill. A conversation followed, in which ti to Mar quis of LANSDOWNE, the Bishop of OXFORD, tl to Earl of ABERDEEN, and several other Peers took p art, and on a division the second reading was carried i): s , a ma jority of eighteen, the numbers being—Cont az its, 46; Non. contents, 28. In the Commons, New writs were ordered for Newry and Arr..; llshire.

Mr. Fox MAIILE and Sir GEoßcri GREY ogre ed with the spirit of the resolutica, but eared difficultia s would be found in carrying it into effect. Mr. EuxE en pressed a hope that Government would take up the subja ct; and Mr. HAWES explained the practice in the colonier r. Ul timetely thy, rootio U was withdrawn. Mr. W. J.

The Kiwc has asked permission of the QUEEN to be absent from Portugal for three months, in Order to avoid being present at the arrival of SALDANEIA, in Lisbon. GERMANY, The Cologne Gazette has the following from Vienna, dated 14th:---" The camp which is to be formed in the neighbourhood of Olmutz will be on a larger scale than was at first contemplated. It will be composed of picked troops from the corps d'armee of Moravia, Sil es i a , Bohemia, and Upper Austria. Several Generals have already gone to inspect the troops. We have already stated that BACRONINE had been condemned to impri sonment for life; the truth is that he had been con demned to death, but-the EMPEROR commuted the sen. tenes. He has already left Olmutz." The New Gazette of I'Odef states that M. BActco- NINE was delivered up on the 17th to the Russian au• thorities near Miglowitz. The King of PRUSSIA arrived, on the evening of the 18th, at Warsaw. The Emperor and Empress of RUSSIA weld to meet him as far as Wiernirvice. The Spew?. Gazette states that the Emperor of Ars- Tule was to leave Olmutz on the 20tb.

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 dt,vl cat." " Oat on ye, 6745; nothirg bat songs of death I" 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 ebtrance 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 the 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 or spectacular novelties. But this is only a temporary stagnation. The case will be widely different when the stream sets in, which may be expected at its highest flow during the months of July and August. Strangers will find that a single visit to the Exhibition will go for nothing, and that half-a-dosen will be barely 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 public, 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 desirous of admission. Do the shopkeepers imagine that the masses with whom the thoroughfares will be swarming will walk about with their pockets hermetically buttoned up, and obsti nately deny themselves the gratification of any pur chases of eitherreal or fancied necessaries, or of me mentoes of the season, or of presents to provincial friends ? What are myriads of people, who have no domestic hearths on the banks of the Thames, to do with themselves throughout the evening but to visit oar theatres and public gardens, which afford so many and so various opportunities for enjoyment at an in considerable expense? And, as it is to be presumed, that this mighty addition to the metropolitan popula tion is so constituted according to the ordinary lot of humanity, that its individual members must nut merely supply the exigencies of our common nature by easing and drinking, but by likewise sleeping under cover, it rnay fairly be inferred that house keepers will not have much reason to complain. Patience, then, good people ; and without antici pating that you are to double your fortunes per saltune, you will ere long participate in the benefits which we augur will generally result from the mag nificent experiment which is the world's wonder. If there be found a grumbler among you this day three months, he will eminently deserve to be carefully enclosed in a glass case, and exhibited to the gaze of millions in a conspicuous part of the mighty shrine of the Curiosities of All Nations.

NUMERnUs AND FATAL ACCIDENTS RETURNING FAO3I EPSOM ON TILE DERBY DAY.—Late on Wednesday night and yesterday (Thursday) morning, the following se rious accidents were admitted into the Borough Hospital, which occurred on the way from Fpsom to London :—Shortly after eleven o'clock, a man named George Jackson, aged 6, residing in Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate- street, City, was re turning from the races at Epsom, in company with several friends, when the cart in which they were riding came in contact with a pleasure-van, whereby those in the former vehicle were thrown out on to the roadway. The man Jack son was so seriously injured that it was deemed necessary to convey him by railway to St. Thomas's Hospital, where it was fotnd that he had sustained a severe scalp wound and fractured ribs. Another accident happened near Ewell, which was unfortunately attended with fatal con- equences. A party of gentlemen in a dog -cart were proceeding at a rapid speed towards town, when they drove the vehicle on to an embankment, which capsized the whole of them, when one gentleman, named Tomlinson, was so much injured that he expired on the way home to Southampton-street, Camberwell, where the body now lies awaiting an inquest. A third accident took place to a cabman, named Charles Palmer ' aged 42, of Coburg road, Old Kent-road. It seems he had been engaged by Jemmy Welsh, Barnash, and other pugilists, to convey them to Epsom and back, and when near Sutton, the driver (Palmer) was knocked off his seat, when the wheel of a car riage passed over his left arm; he also received a serious injury to :he head and various contusions on his body. He was placed in the cab, and brought at two o'clock in the morning to Guy's Hospital, where very faint hopes are given of his recovery. Several other accidents happened near the Elephant end Castle, where many thousand persons had assembledto witness the return of the company from the races. A man named William Hareoert, aged 40, was standing in the roadway near the Obelisk, when he was knocked dswn by a phaeton and four horses, and before the driver could stop the off wheels passed over his legs, causing compound fractures of both limbs. He was placed on a stretcher and conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he now re mains in a dangerous condition. Many other casualties were admitted into the hospitals, but after having their wounds dressed they were taken home. SUDDIN DEATH OF FREDERICK SHARMAN CRA W _ FORD, Esq.—We regret exceedingly to announce the death, at Crawfordeburn, of Mr. F. S. Crawford, fourth son of William Sharman Crawford, Esq., M.P. for Rochdale.

DEATH OF MR. MOTT, THE POOR-LAW AUDITOR. —Mr. Charles Mott, the auditor for the South Lancashire Poor-law district, expired on Monday last. Mr. Mott had hO A cgcrceuincurred the displeasure of the Poor-law Board, on account of the defalcations of the late collector for Hyde, who ab sconded with moneys belonging to that township in his pos session.

ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL FAMILY 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, EQq., 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 coiner 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, .11 Barbijre, and the cast whs amazingly strong. Madame Sontag, 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, in creased brilliancy, creating a complete furore. Both these pieces were of course redemanded. Lablache was the Doctor Bartolo, and we were glad to percei ye that his recent in disposition had not deprived him of on a 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 afun 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 C4,ninia," which we arcs glad to see restored to its place in the opera, in magnificent style. Calzolari made a sprightly and viva cious Almivn va, and sang the music with great tuste and sweetness. '1 he opera was preceded by the second and third acts of La ibruta di Portici, in which the acting olf Monti and the singing of Pardini andiMassol were superb. Between the acts of the Barbiere, Carlotta Grisi danced the Truan daise, and aft er the opera there was the divertissement of the Cosmopolites. We understand that it is the intention of Mr. Lu mley to open Her Majesty's Theatre on the evening' 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 plan for the gratification of those strangers at present in London, w:ho are anxious to avail themselves of perhaps the only opportunity they may ever have of visiting *the first lyrical establiuhment in the world. Her Royaf Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by the Baroness de Speth, went to Frogmore yesterday morning, and returned to her residence, Clarence House, St. James's, in the afternoon. Her Royal Highness, accompanied by his Serene Highness the Prince of Lei ningen, and attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Sir George Couper, and Lord James Murray, honoured the Princess's Theatre with her presence last evening. A. deputation to urge the repeal of the present receipt stamp tax, or for its reduction to an uniform rate of one penny, had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence, Downing street. Thu deputation consisted of Mr. Brotherton, M.P., Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Messrs. Bradbury, Schofield, Haekblock, 6irn, aid Christy. The Right; Honourable Fox Mania gave a dinner to the Cabinet Min '.sters on Wednesday, at his residence, Clic shani-place. Mr. Tollera ache, 74. P., and a numerous deputation had CO interview with Lord John Russell yesterday, at his official residence in Downing -street. The Rev. _Dr. Rogerson had en interview with Earl Grey at tre: Colonial. office, yesterday. IiER MA.JEsTY'S aTEIDAY.—To-morrow her Majesty enters her 32J year (which is her natal day, having been born on the 24th of llt _y, 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 moustrations 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, de 29th instant—Ascension-day, Whit Monday ang Tuesday, 9th and 10th of June), all the dif ferent public departments at the West-end, icing's and Ilni• versity Colleges, and the different public aeUls in the me tropolis and vi cinity — Christchurch, Chelsea, Greenwich, Woolwich, dkc. THE CRYSTAL PALACE.--It would seer as if the genius of invention had presided over the election 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 rhick but now presented a rev and cold surface has, as if by the ma gician's wand, becorle a highly granulated wood, of a - rich and cheerful hue. This has been effected by a most simple aid—a stain for wont 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 handsome 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 capaiilities of this facile application in a very satisfactory Manner—Morning Herald. THE GENERA], ASSEMBLY.---Lord Belhaven, the Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly, arrived in Edinburgh on Wednesday. There being, as last year no access to the Roy a l apartments in Holyrood Palace, his Lord ship is, during the continuance of the Assembly, to reside at 120, George-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 Lordship was to proceed in his private carriage from his residence in George-street, along Princes -street, by the North-bridge to the County-hall in the High-street, where he was to hold the usual preliminary 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 REGIMENT FOR THE CAPE.—There is no longer 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 cc many willg horses be distrib Asat is ed custom among the cava l ry regiments requir in. ary on e oasions, report s are in circulation as to up which the i s s 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 c ava l r y h as a l ready been tried at the Cap e . The blue jacket will not be so conspicuous as the red coat was, and the lance will be a new feature, not on ly of great service, but in all probability tending by its appearance alone to strike terror 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 from home.

The sales of C o tt on at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 4,000 bales, cf which 500 Amarican were taken fur export. The sales comprised 3,000 American, 2CO Pernam and Maranham at 630. to Bd., 100 Bahia at 63id. to Bd., and 400 Surat at 3<<d. to 4'a d. per lb. The market was heavy, and all kinds were t/ d. per lb. lower.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done, but the market closed steadily. Dining the present week the supply cf 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 mere 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 taking up other p ro d ucts that might appear 1 16 to oiler a temptation. It will be 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 con espondingly 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. Jaal es and Hanover, and at Iron Shore Estate it raged with great malignity. A local paper contains V.: e following rather unsatisfactory report upon the weather and the crops:.-- ', " The weather, particularly in the parish cf Trelawny, has been so dry that the crops ate 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 trG 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 manure canes. 4 8134 In St. James' s t h e crops look better.. The cholera : 82 349f having created delay may be considered in some measure as P 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 th ey are lik ely to be benefited after so long a ‘,l Bi se spell of dry weather, by the old May seasons, which we hope are near at hand. April showers' are, it appears, out of fashion • for this somewhat fickle month has scarce l y y i elded a ton of water to the whole parish. On the dryer estates the produce is superior in quality, though scant in quantity." 75 The manufacture of soap had been successfully commenced in Jamaica., A party who had an opportunity of judging reports : " 2j~ 2 "We have bee n muc h grat ifi ed at the inspection of some t 22 1 bars of yell ow 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 -84 rican, with the assistance, we believe, of Messrs. Hitchins and Co., and there seems every proba bility of its complete success. When it is considered that the annual consumption of soap, all of which is at present im ported, amounts to something like 45,000 boxes, the average 5% 27 value of which may be estimated at 27,0004 it will be seen how important a matter it is, that some portions at 5534 least of this annua l outlay, every penny of which is at pre- NI sent sent our, of the country, should be retained among us." Mr. G. B. Matthew, the ex-Governor of the Bahamas, and present Consul of her Britannic Majesty for the States of North and South Carolina, has brought under the notice of the Governor of South Carolina the circumstance of the coloured subjects cf her Majesty arriving in Charleston be ing syst-anatically incarcerated in prison, until the departure of the vessel in which they arrived, under a law of the state. This practice has existed for a very considerable 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 undarstauding that the permanent regulations either of police or for ports of entry fur vessels, should ex tend to foreigners the same restrictions they im pose on natives of the spot where they are en forced of a similar class and calling, and no more. He further contends that, according to the opinion of the late Attorney -General Wirt, the law is void, "being against the constitution, treaties, and law of the dia. Mined Stares, anti incompatible with the rights of all nations dia in amity with the United States." Iv'e gather tram the docu ment before us that it is the intention of the Governor f South Carolina to transmit Mr. Matthew's communication to the Legislature of that state. The colony of Demerara was perplexed as to Coolie im migration, not liking to incur the expense of sensing the labourers back after their term of service, as requi red by th e Honourable East India C ompany.

The present week's arrival of English Wheat up to our market, coastwise, has been on the increase, it having ex ceeded 2,000 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent, with a few parcels from Suffolk and Norfolk. Fresh up this morning the receipts by, land carriage were comparatively small, but in fair condition. Although the show of samples of both red and white was by no means extensive the de mand ruled inactive, at prices about equal to those of Mon- day last. Only 1,910 quarters of foreign Wheat have arrived since Saturday, but several large cargoes are reported off the coast. On the whole there was a fair inquiry for fine dry qualities at full currencies, but the middling and inferior kinds met a slow sale. Floating cargoes ne g l ected. The fresh supply of Barley, both English and foreign, being very small, under 6CO quarters, that article was held firmly-- at extreme quotations. Malt was offering less freely tha n " F the turn dearer: late. The trade ruled steady, at full prices. with Oats°‘ we were very moderately supplied. All kinds were firm, and week's in some instances, selected samples were Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour supported last currencies. __ARRIVALS THIS VirE ER • Wheat. Barley. Mal, English Irish • .

Should such a measure be deemed, hereafter, expedient, there will be ample time for introducing it iu the next ses sion, as the right to present petitions for sales may be exer cised up to July, 1852. 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.
