After the masterly and triumphant vindication of his foreign 'policy by Lord PALMERSTON, it: is scarcely surprising tb observe the preparations making for his receptioo this evening in the neighbourhoood of the Houses at Westminster. The sympathy entertained for the Foreign Secretary by the people of England is altogether too earnest to admit of its suppression upon an occasion of so much importance to, bia it* TILE - - cal character. Added to which the insolent personali ties showered upon that illustrious diplomatist and statesman would of themselves be sufficient to extort from the multitude a strong and ener getic counter-manifestation. Hence it is far from being any matter of surprise to us that upon the eve of the division about to take place upon the motion of the Honourable and Learned Gentle man the representative of Sheffield, the public should betray an anxiety to demonstrate the fulness of their admiration for the patriotic Minister at the head of the Foreign Department of the Government. Everything throughout the recent debates, in the Peers upon Lord STANLEY'S motion, and in the Commons upon Mr. Ronuccx:s--everything through out these discussions relating to the attacks upon the Foreign Secretary has tended to evidence the pitiful spite and rancour of the as sailants of the Noble Viscount, and to corroborate the assertion of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, that a dis graceful conspiracy has been formed to oust her MA JESTY'S Government. Several considerations combine to impress this fact indelibly upon the general con viction. The mere circumstance of an alliance suddenly being effected between parties in the Legislature who cordially hate each other, divulges an arriere pens& of a dark and sinister description. Then, again, the fligrant falsehoods advanced in the way of argument against the policy of Lord PALMERSTON afford full evidence of the unprincipled nature of the antagonism to his administration. The inconsistency, moreover, of men such as the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Ripon, who four years ago spoke favourably of the very question which now becomes the object of their vituperation!, has about it a sig nificance such as requires no exposition whatever. The truth is, we repeat, that an intrigue, the like of which for baseness and turpitude has never been surpassed, has been set on foot, to employ the language of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman the Representative of the county of Middlesex, by Ministers of State in office and out of office, by Kings with crowns and without crowns, and he would add, too, without character. Aided by politi cal adventurers, struggling by every ignoble method :o secure their own selfish aggrandizement, even at the expense of all national interests and of the commonest decencies of society, these conspirators are plotting to accomplish the expulsion from the Cabinet of a statesman in whose regard the feelings of the people of England are cordial and enthusiastic. Blinded by their own detestable ambition, these men appear to forget that the great Minister of the Crown, whose ruin they are striving to accomplish, was already fa mous throughout Europe, when many of them were mere boys, and when the rest of them were crawling up the lowest and dirtiest rounds of the social ladder. They seem to lose a recollection of the circumstance that the popularity of Lord PALMERSTON is not a mere ephemeral ebullition of civic caprice, that it has not suddenly sprouted into existence out of simply eva nescent interest, but that it dates back its vitality during the larger portion of half a century, that it has grown to its present fullness and maturity from the earliest days of the present generation of statesmen, that, above all and beyond all, it has developed in strength and in perma nence by reason of a long series of glorious and historical achievements. If for no other reason, the foreign policy of Lord PALMERSTON would com mand the admiration of contemporaries and the panegyric of posterity, seeing that to its sagacity alone, under GOD, is attributable the preservation of peace throughout the world during two most terrible and perilous periods of revolution. Immediately after the occasion of the great political explosion of the three days of July, 1830, and subsequently immediately upon the occasion of the yet greater political explosion of the three days of February, 1848—it was the good fortune of England to be represented among foreign nations by the policy of _Viscount PALMERE”. TON. That policy secured international peace to Christendom when the whole surface of the European continent was heaving with what Mr. Aciaort has powerfully designated the " mind-quakes" of revolu tion. But for that conciliatory policy Great Britain must inevitably have become embroiled with one or other of the - great peoples then in a stare of bellicose excitement. Especially during the momentous epoch which followed the grand democratic detonation of February, during those months of alternate panic and enthusiasm, when the princes of the earth were fugitives, when palaces were pillaged, and thrones broken in the market place, and " the official holy of holies (to u'e the expression of Mr. CARLYLE) was laid bare to dogs and the profane—then, more peculiarly than at any other period, the wisdom of Lord PALMERSTON'S foreign policy became apparent to the judgment cf the population. Imagine the consequences that mast have befallen this country and the rest of the nations of Christendom, supposing my Lord ABER DEEN had held the seals of the Foreign•office during the days immediately after the revolution of July and the days immediately after the revolution of Fe bruary ! Good GOD ! the mere conjecture is fraught with the most frightful visions of calamity. How the dupe of Louis PHILIPPE, and the catspaw of GUIZOT, and the obsequious accomplice of METTER. NICH, could have escaped from being himself involved in the troubles which overwhelmed those, his patrons, masters, and panegyrists, it is somewhat difficult to imagine. And the entanglement of ABERDEEN would have been the entanglement of England, had the former at that period been unhappily at the head of the foreign department of the Government. Hence it is, we repeat, that the people of England are enabled to recognize the value of that system of conducting our diplomatic relations which empowered the illustrious statesman, her MA JESTY'S present Foreign Secretary, to maintain peace between Great Britain and the revolutionized countries of Christendom, and to maintain that peace, moreover, not only without any derogation of our national dignity, but in a manner such as tended to preserve, and enhance, and elevate the national inte rests and the national character. Never before, we maintain, has England ridden so tranquilly through such political tempests of revolution, and never before have the name, and the fame, and the strength, and the glory of England, been so conspicuous over the whole globe as during these times of the foreign administration of Viscount PALMERSTON "Well, theretore, may that noble statesman challenge the favourable verdict of the House of Commons, and demand the reward due to his patriotic labours—the formal approval of the LPgislatuets: From every part of tt eJ country—north, south, east, and west—from England, from Ireland, from c_7cotland, from - Wales, from the Land's End to Johnny Groat's house, from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear, from the shores of Galway to the Humber—complaints, both loud and deep, are pouring in of the intolerable inconvenience, and of the immense amount of Sabbath desecration, occa. sioeed by the culpable yielding of the Ministry to the f 4 natical, absurd, and, as we believe, illegal demand of the ASHLEY Sabbattarian squad for the abolition of the Post -office delivery on Sunday. We yester day gave, on the authority of Lord BROUGHAM ' the narrative of a ease i n which Sunday labour, and that a labour of necessity, had been fearfully increased in coneequence of the closing of the Post-office of Castle• tWe quot e f rom t h e co l umns of a contemporary lest. the on followi ng statement, addressed to h his correspond en t s : :n raby one of " I have been in business for many • )eart. The shop which I now conduct has been carried on by my self and my father for above thirty years. In conjunction with a respectable bookselling and printing business we have carried on an extensive newspaper agency, but during the whole of that Limo we have never sold a newspaper or as much as a sheet of post on a Sunday. As in the case of other respectable country newsmen, our Sunday papers were addressed by a London agent direct to the subacribcrs, and we visited them quarterly for the cash. Now, I must surrender this branch of my business, which I cannot afford, or commence Sunday trader; and I have been obliged, from the competition of others, to engage to-day three messengers to deliver on a Sunday morning the London papers to my subscribers. The other newspaper agents are doing the, same thing; so we shall have now on a Sunda y morning ten or twelve newsmen at the least running about the town delivering and hawking papers, white four letter, carriers have hitherto delivered all the letters and newspapers for the whole town, in much less time. "Another matter to be borne in mind is, that a new branch of active Sunday traffic is opened, as our walls are phicsided with the addresses of competing agents, announcing the. delivery of papers on a Suudsy morning; and there is scurcely an inn or beer-house in the town S UN, but has been canvassed to take a Sunday paper under this new pariesnie , sl regime." Thus e e find that Suridly labour will be greatly increased by the abolition of the Sunday Ptee-office delivery, as it would be by the abolition of Sunday baking. The Sunday baker cooks the dinners of perhaps fifty poor families, and enables them to go to church, when but for him they would have been forced to stay at home to attend to the cooking of their respective dinners; and the employment of tour postmen in delivering letters on a Sunday morning (and be it remembered this work is done by ten o'clock, an hour before the commencement of Divine service), sets twelve men at liberty who would other wise be employed the whole of the day. The mea-ure of Lord Asuexr is not only absurd, not only fanatical, but it is suicidal. We are rejoiced to find that the proprietors of the London weekly news papers, whose property will be confiscated by the operation of this measure, are bestirring themselves to procure the recall of the obnoxious order : a meeting of the preprietors of newspapers was held yesterday, at which petitions to both Houses of Parliament, praying for the restora tion of the Post-office Sunday delivery were agreed to (the petition itself will be found in extenso in an other column), and we recommend that public meetings should be held in all parts of the country to protest against the order, and to petition for its repeal ; but we fear that there is not time to huld these meet ings, so as to have the petitions emanating from them presented to Parliament during the prevent session; and unless some measure be adop'ed before the close of the present session to obviate the evils arising from the stoppage of the Sunday delivery, those evils will become intolerable be fore any remedy can be applied to them. The commonsense portion of the nation look, there. fore, in this their extremity to the Legislature to re pair the evil before it be too late ; and more especially do they look to Lord BaouGuase, who has, to his honour be it spoken, opposed from the commencement, with the arms of elo• quence, of sarcasm, and of reason, the insane proceedings of the SabbatarianF, and the culpable weakness of the Ministry in giving way to the ravings of those madmen They trust, and they beseech that his Lordship will move an ad dress in the House of Lords, praying her MA JESTY to rescind the order prohibiting the Sunday delivery of letters. The Ministers have, in accordance with an address _"snapped" from the House of Commons at the dinner hour, per petrated what they themselves adroit to be an act of illegal and criminal, because mischievous, absurdity they cannot surely refuse to return to the ways of common sense and of legality, in accordance with an address from the House of Lords. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The organs of the Ely-ei are any thing but well pleased with the narrowness of the majority by which the dotation of the PRESIDENT was carried; instead of tending to reconcile the differences already existing between the Bonapartist, Legitimatist, and Orleanist tractions of the majority, the result has only tended to embitter them. The Pouvoir, the acknovvledged or4an of the PRESIDENT, thus speaks of the result of the division : " When in order to put an end to the orgies of ti e Provisional Government, France confided her fats to the elect of the 10th December, she had naturally to com plete her idea by sending to the Legislative Assembly represeutatices who would loyally and energetically support the President of the R-puede. It is necessary that the country should know that her hopes have been deceived. There is in the Assembly a flagrant and per manent idea of hostility against Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. France chose him to save her; the Assem • bly only accepted him to nullify him until it could rid itself of him. Such, in two words, is the state et affairs in all its desperate reality, and without any manoeuvre being able -to mask it from the eyes ut sincere men. The patriotism and loyalty of General Changereier alone prey, nted that deplorable hostility from breaking out oil Monday. Real political men, those who know the value of public peace, confidence, and general security; those who would be the natural ;faders of the Assembly, if passion, egotism, fanaticism, and blindness would admit chiefs weighing with alt their reason and all their gui d sense ou the Assembly, the event every day proves that they,are powerl.sts to master and to lead it. Thus, while the country seeks fur re pose, for labour, and for order, some senseless men in cessantly strive to keep up agitation, and te imeel France to fresh cornmotions. It is necessary that the country should be made fully aware of this truth. It would be in error if it thought that it had nothing to :ear but Socialism; it has still more to dre ad fetal, the, incessant labour t.f some men, whose ambitions and wh,ee raimours prevent the Government tram conerlidteing itself. This is not what they gave out to be pre sumed anti to be feared at the period of the general elec ion!. They then proclaimed themse vas the support of he elect of the 10ih December, because that. recoil:men dedon had a magical effect: then terror was general, and every one rallied to the work of safety. New that secu rity is somewhat returned, these ungrateful men make u 43 of it against him e who gave 1; to them. Tney act like sailors who during a et am make a vow to the Medontiv, and who laugh ai her when the danger is over. We do root think that France will suffer. such conduct to be pur sued in her name, and it is fur that reason we think it eecessary to point it out to her." Although the Ponvoir speaks of the patriotism and loyalty of General CLIANGARNIER, the PRESIDENT and his friends are by no means pleased at the pstronieing tone which he assumed on the occasion, nor at the haughty airs which he has since given himself. It was only by a judicious admixture of threats, promises, and coaxing that he was induced at the last moment to declare in favour of the Ministerial project. The National says : "Several representatives of the majority who voted yesterday against the dcitition of the President, remark in animated language that M. Changarnier, who yester. lay broke through his hebitual silence to urge the adop ;ion of the project of the Elytee had not ceased for a week previously to advise the rejection of that same project. M. Meguan has therefore, by his a: rival in Paris, performed a double miracle; he has loused the tongue-of M. Changrstnier, and operated a conversion. The image of the Virgin which rest red Franc 'tar Petitot the use of her legs is surpassed." Tnis shows the threats. Now for the coaxing and he conditions. The correspondent of a reactionary journal thus speaks of the vote : " The vote on the amendment Durufle was car ried by a charge of General Changarnier. The man ner in which this charge was executed is about to re oeive its reward by the removal from office of General te'Hewpoul. It is also said that the Dye es is but mode rately satisfied with the numerical amount of the najority." It is considered as extremely probable that an ex tensive change will take place in the M►nistry ; an announcement in the Pouvoir that M. DE PERSIGI NY, who is at present in Pari, will not return to Berlin, iwems to confirm this rumour. The Akbar of Algiers states that upwartis of t.',o 3rr6ons have been arrested .at Oran, charged with being implicated in a Socialist conspiracy. The directors of the Bank of France have declared a dividend of 50f. on their shares of I,ooof. fur half-year ending the Ist of July next. It is a curious fact that the PRESIDENT has been , nabled to obtain that which was al nays steadily re fu.ed to LOUIS PHILIPPE, notwithAanding his intri gues and his corruptions—the KING asked for a do atioh of 400,000 francs for the Duke DE NErtiouas, and was refused. At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, several of the Members complained that they had been repre sented by the division lists, published in the Moniteur, as having voted for the dotation, or as having been absent when they had bewn present, and had voted against it. Among the complainants was General .Lamoaictsan, who remarked with great emphasis that it was not the first time that such mis takes had been committed by the officers acting under the superintendence of M. DUPIN; whil e M. LA GRANGE observed that such mistakes had also' been invariably made in favour of the Minister. In the lobby General LAMORICIERE was even more severe in his language than he had been in the tribune ; fir, pointing to the division lists in the Moriiteur, he called those around him to witness that he had been falsely set down among the lackeys of the Elyati.

The Duke of MONTPENSIER is exceedingly un popular among the Castilians, as the following anec dote will show. There was a bull-fight at Madrid on the 18th of June, at which the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER were present, and according to the custom which prevails when any member of the royal family assists at the spectacle, the chief of the Torea dors requested their permission to commence the fight on his beaded knee. At this proceeding the entire assembly hooted and hissed. When the second bull was about to be led forth the same ceremony was re peated with the same result, although the famous Mow".Es, the conqueror in all his battles, was one of the Toreadors. On the third bull-fignt being about to commence the Toreador merely satu ed the Duke and Duchess, without bending his knee. A shout of ap plause was immediately raised by the entire mob.

This command was accompanied by a letter from the Chancellor or State, desiring that the General should not be permitted to depart. The note caused great surprise to the Russian commission, and the more so, as 'Machine DUHAMEL was obliged to go to Constan tinople with M. Mauttos, who is commissioned to bring certain papers to the General which are of great imprtance to him, and which are in the hands of a relative of M. MAuROS. It is supposed that this stra tagem has been set on foot by a bitter enemy of D U HAM SL's --General HASFURT. The Austrian Lloyd says that intelligence was yes terday received at Belgrade that the three Bulgarian districts of Widdin, Gurgyesova, and Beigradueza, have been in open revolt. The insurgents were at tempting to take the fortress of Belgraduez3 f,om the Turks, which they would no doubt easily effect, as the fortress is thinly garrisoned. Another report says that the fortress is already in the hands of the insurgents; but we have not yet re ceived any details. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, JUNE 21.—The Minister of Finance has granted the petition of the p.istal authorities, whereby four marks will be charged for every pre paid letter, and six for every unpaid. This reform, granted by the Diet, comes into operation in January, 1851. CANADA. REJECTION OF THE INDEMNIFY BILL I'uaoNro, JUNE 12 —L ,s; night the Provincial P .rliatnent refused, without diz,eussion, Sir Allan AL‘Nhb's motion to introduce the Indemnity Bill of last session. The vote stood 36 to 16. RAILWAY THAvELLING IN FINE %V NATHER.—TbeI fine summer weather seems to have inspired the directors of the several railways with a very laudable spirit of emulation to meet the wishes of the public, and their extreme liberality in providing cheap trains greatly conduces to the comfort of those who are anxious to get fresh air and a good view of the country at a reasonable rate. Just think of a Sun day excursion to Gravesend and back by the North Kent Railway for three shillings! two shillings !! and one shilling and sixpence!!! something between a farthing and a halfpenny a mile ! The adage of " Nothing like leather" falls to the ground here, for travelling by railway is much cheaper, and far more pleasant, than travelling on leather ! We understand that the line of carriages on the North Kent, last Sunday, to • ked very picturesque, forming for a considerable distance a long beautiful line of sinuosity, in accordance with the curves on the railway; and no accident whatever.

T E B LONDIN NEWS AGENTS AND THE NEW POSTAL REG ULATIONS.—I t is intended to call a meeting of the London newsvenders, for the purpose of forming a deputation to wait on the proprietors of the metropolitan weekly news papers with the following propositions, viz. :—That an early edition of all the weekly newspapers be published on Friday afternoon, in time for post to the most distant places, so that the papers may be supplied to the subscribers in those localities on Saturday evening Another edition to be pub lished on Saturday morning, to be forwarded to the less dis tant parts by the morning mails ; ma a town edition, for distribution throughout the metropolis and its suburbs on Saturday afternoon. Should the foregoing proposals be adopted, it would considerably lessen the labours of the working newsmen, who are now equally as hard worked on Sabbath as on the week days. ASSAULT or ARMS.—A grand assault of arms, in cluding the foil, eabre, sticks, and bayonet against sabre, was last night given at the Whittington Club by Mr. Allred Shury. M. Prevost. and Professor Gillemand, both from Paris, took part in the assault, and so did Corporals Venn, Reid, and Waite. There was nimble fencing with the foils and some dexterous work with the sticks, but the most marked feature of the exhibition was the feats with the sword by Mr. A. Shury. A bar of lead, one and three-quar ters of an inch in thickness, and the carcass of a sheep were cut in twain neatly and cleverly at one fell swoop. The au dience were pretty numerous, aid were enlivened in the course of the evening by the band of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, who played at intervals several popular airs. FOREIGN FRUITS AND V E GETABLES.—The follow ing numerous and large arrivals of fruits and vegetables have taken place in one day from the continent for the metropo litan markets: The steamer Raiob , rw, from Rotterdam, brought I,to bags of new potatoes; the Sir Robert Peel, from Dunkirk, 809 baskets and 49 cases of new potatoes, 253 dozens of cauliflowers, and 1, 24 baske:s of cherries; the Apollo, from Rotterdam, 3,763 baskets of new potatoes, 4 baskets of melons, and 19 sieves and 12 baskets of cucumbers; the Stadt Dordre ht, from l)ordt, 28 hampers and 20 baskets of new potatoes, 20 hampers of cherries, 8 hampers of cab bages, and 29 hampers of carrots; the Fyenvord, from Rot terdam, rO3 baskets and 200 bag of new potatoes, and 197 baskets of cherries; the Ve. ezuela, from Havre, 1,576 ba.kets of various kinds of fruits;. and the Soho, from Ant werp, 21 baskets of green peas, and 1,381 baskets of various sorts of fruits—the produce of France, Holland, and Belgium.

JUNE 27, AINWNEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TW O O'CLOCK. The Cotton market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very anunated, ain't with a good demand for export and specu lative business. The sales were estimated at 12,000 halt?, of which one-half were t alien for export and on speeuLtion. Scitzil advanced *I., and ord. and mid. American were I f to id. per lb. higher, at which the c'ose I firmly.—ltailway Shares were flat, with v, , ty little buiiness doing. The six weeks' average price of wheat is 40s. per qbarter, the highest point fur some time past. It will obvtou,ly not be for want of industry if the Cotton Market be not buoyed up to the highest possible mark by the parties interested on the other side of the Atlantic, and it is curious to watch their progress. A leading broker at New Yurk writes by the Atlantic btesmer:— My last report of this masket was and r dace, of the 4th inst.. per Europa. The business transacted since less indicated daily that coutiderice in th.• stability of present prices is wide spresdieg, and the class of buyers or rai tug now are those who have all the seasou stood clear of the article, b-lieving first in the existence ut a cr ,, p three hundred thousand bales mere than ear be realised by draining tie interior to ans ; and when that obstacle was removed. they telt it was unsafe, because bills had been made early against an unusual prt,prtton of the receipt, and in the ability of European spinners to abate the ma; uitscture, or, as they term it, the consumption of the article, they had no question, and predicted we should certainly feel the pres sure as soon as they had definitely assured thews• Ives that the crops was determineJ, and in the ports, as without the aid of tne toreigit market our commission houses would not dare to try the experiment of holding supplies until the people called for goods so ravenously as to turce dellers to purchase small quantities of first hands, on whit, was to be, a falling market. From ail that we can learn on this sule, spinners are more astounded at the continued extent of the demand fir their goods from all qua , tors of the globe, than they are at the actual short ness of the present crop, us it evidences that the real consumption of cotton fabrics has overtaken the production. They do not allow enough for the vast yearly improvements in ma cninery, the great amount of the circulating medium, and for the proportion that are pined by the low rate of agricultural productions. Dealers are believed to hold light stocks abroad. as fur six months past they were told weekly, by the highest authorities at Man chester, that cotton prices were unsafe, and must soon fall on their own merits. In this country lam assured that stocks in the bands of those who supply the people are also light, as the' impression here was that it was a cotton fight, and, as usual, the superior capital of our trans-Atlantic brethren would carry the day, and, consequently, the same stroke of policy was acted on—purchase lightly. Now, the people call for goods, and the cotton fight being at an end, the old-stagers appear at our cattonsoffices, and confess their errors, believing that cotton has not yet commenced to rise. The sales up to Tuesday, 11th average l 2,500 bales daily. "In regard to the prospect of the next crop, I have nothing to add to my respects of that date. I reiterate these remarks, and solicit you to note them particularly. I could cite n volume of reasons for my conviction of their accuracy. But as my deductions have always been well within the subsequent facts, I consider it unneces sary." Accounts from Antwerp state that some disorder bad occurred there upon a shipment of potatoes by an Eng lish dealer, who has done a large business in the article, and that part of the cargo was stopped on the quay, so not to be in time for the Hull boat. The growers thereupon sold the potatoes at two frs. per quarter hec tolitre. fur which the English shipper hau agreed to give four fie. The first arrival of herrings in Holland took place on the 23d inst., and as usual a certain portion was irnme diat,ly sent to the King and the Ministers.

Their Lordships at in the Council Chamber, Whitehall, and the Lords present were Mr. Baron Parke, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the Chancel lor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and Sir Edward Ryan. Their Lordships, having disposed of the motions on their paper, proceeded to hear the further arguments in the part-heard case of DOOLUBDASS PETTAMBERDASS AND OTHERS V. RAMLOL THACKOORSEYDASS AND OTHERS. This was at appeal from the Supreme Court of Judi cature at Bombay, in an action to recover the amount of several wagers, ferty-six in number, which were made between the appellants and respondents, who were merchants and bankers very extensively engaged in trade at Calcutta, on the average price of Patna opium at the then ensuing public Government sale at Calcutta. The appellants pleaded non assumpsit ; that they were induced to enter into contracts through the fraud and covin of the; respondents; and that the average price per chest of the Patna opium sold at the said public Government sale was an average price en hanced by and through the fraud, covin, and collusion of the respondents. The resperadents replied de injuria. It appeared that prior to the year 1847 it had been cus- tomary to hold five Government sales of opium in each year; the number of sales were, however, in that. season increased to nine, and the quantity of opium offered at each sale was thus proportionably reduced. The first Government sale of the season was made on the 30th of November, and upon that occasion the whole quantity t f Patna opium tor sale was 1,690 etteqs. 0! this glean. ttty, however, the French Government bad, by couven ti .n with the Government of Judie the right to claim 300 chests to be withdrawn from the - isle, and to be taken by the French Government at the average price fetched by the rest. Previously to the sale it ep peered that the respondents had made a large number of time bargains at Bombay and Calcutta, and in these bargains the average named ranged from 1,300 to 1,400 rupees per chest, up to nearly 1,800. In the contracts declared upon in the action, the lowest average named was 1,387 ruper s, and the highest 1,775 rupees. In the great majority of instances the respondents were buyers, or in other words, specu lated on the less. in t he price. It was proved, however, that in some instances the respondents were sellers, and speculated upon the fall. The sale, as before stated, was advertised to take place upon the 30th of November, and the representatives of several firms attended the sale to bid on behalf of the appellants. On that day, however, no sale of opium took place, owing to some parties keeping up the bid liege for the first lot throughout the whole ut the day, and running it up to a preposterously extravagant price; and the Government agent, finding that those parties were determined to keep up the bid dings until night, was obliged to abandon the design of selling at all upon that nay. Immediately after the f.ilure of the intended sale the respondents, through their representatives who had attended the sfee, wrote to the secretary of the Board cf Opium, and offered 1,800 ru pee s per chest for the opium. The sale was, however, again advertised to take place upon the 7th of December, with several new conditions introduced, chiefly with the view of preventing a recurrence of the interrup tion which had taken place upon the previous occasion. Before the sale the agent of the French Government claimed 300 chests. On the 7th of December the sale took place; and it appeared from a list furnished by the Government agent that, with the exception of sewed:, - five chests purchased by a Mr. Pereira at the rate of 1,750 rupees per chest, the whole arf ehe i Patna opium was purchased by the respondents ut sums which made the average price amount to rather more than 1,793 rupees per chest. The average price et the sale was greatly enhanced by the efforts of the respondents' agents. Mr. Pereira, it appeared, had received orders from China to buy, and was not limited as to price; he considered it to be bis duty to buy at any price, and stated that fur those seventy-five chests he would have gone to 2,000 rupees a chest, though he considered the price very high at which ho purchased. It app. aced that the re pondeuts' representativei paid the Governmeat for the whole of the opium, excepting that pur chased by Pereira, and it must have required an immense command of capital to have enabled the respon dents to operate as they did up Ai the market, for the sum paid ny them to the Government exceeded 24 lakhs of rupees; and soon after the sale, this very opium, or at least a portion of it, was sold by them at 1,200 and 1,300 rupees per chest, so that to gain by such a transac tion, the number and extent of their wager contracts must have been immense. Chief Justice Perry held in the court below " that the respondents were not bound by any rule of law, nor by the rules of morality received amongst mankind at large, to disclose to the appellants that they intended to make larger purchases now than upon former occasions, and it was the appellants' own fault fir not perceiving that circumstances in the present cease enabled the respondents to do so with effect. The respondents must, therefore, have judgment fur the difference on the several contracts in the declaration." It was from this judgment that the present appeal was made. The further arguments occupied their Lordships the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
