The Duke of WELLINGTON has announced the second reading of the Maynooth Bill for Monday next, the 2d of June, and intimated, in his usual decisive and business-like manner, that he will keep his word. He is right. The country is sick of this miserable Maynooth affair. It involves no new religious principles; the money required to carry it into effect is the most contemptible item in the financial estimates; it gives no additional encouragement to Popery; it establishes an act of justice, but rather in form than in reality; and it has been opposed so long, and in such tedious, un meaning speeches in the House of Commons, that if the Lords were to follow the example they would make the legislative body absolutely ridiculous. It is said enormous masses of petitions are already prepared for presentation. We have no doubt of the fact. We believe they have been prepared for many weeks, or are only transcripts of petitions thrown below the table of the House of Commons. BREADALBANE has so many committed to his charge that he cannot bring them up in less than a week. WINCHILSEA has an equal load ; KENYON and RODEN are also heavily burdened ; and WELLINGTON and STANLEY must, therefore, be bold men to face the indignation and re proaches of such illustrious ornaments of the House of Peers as these four Anti-Maynooth leaders. WIN CHILSEA has already fought the Duke in defence of Protestantism, and why should he not do so again ? His worthy colleagues may also single out their men and fight WHARNCLIFFE and STANLEY and ABERDEEN. They cannot do less. Catholic Emancipation was nothing to Maynooth ; and if the champions of intolerance have a drop of true blood in their veins, they will spend it in defence of their cause. If they possess common sense, they know there is no other chance for them. The House of Commons has sent up the Bill backed by the greatest majority, taking numbers, intelligence, independence, and sound argu ment into account, that ever supported any measure brought before the Legislature. The opposition . to it has been of the most puerile, bigoted, and un-Chris tian character. The speakers have not advanced one argument which, if carried to its legitimate extent, would not divide the kingdom into separate merciless factions; dissever the colonies from the mother country, and make the sister island more hostile to England than even France and America in the midst of a bloody war. Are the Peers, then, to reject such a weight of authority? Are they to risk the safety of the empire to gratify such hopeless bigots as RODEN and KENYoN, and reject the unanimous voice of all men in the Commons' House of Parliament possessing ability, sound judgment, and Christian charity, for this paltry grant to Maynooth. The case is utterly hopeless. But still the farce is to be performed. Endless petitions are to be presented, long speeches made, and vile accusa tions reiterated against, fellow Christians, all in the holy name of religion. We regret to find certain leaders of the Dissenters joining in this cry of intolerance—men who have suffered so much from the very spirit which animates WINCHILSEA, and RODEN, and KENYON— men who would be trampled upon in their turn if their chosen advocates should prevail, and who yet cringe to the hand that would bind stronger their fetters. What hope have they from the House of Lords ? Was there ever such an absurdity heard of as Dissenters trusting to support from the Puseyite Bishops of LONDON and EXETER ? Yet such is the fact. They turn with contempt from the RUSSELLS, the HowlcKs, and the MACAULAYS, leaders of a party to whom they owe so much, and trust to Nous and LAW, and the bench of Bishops. In the whole history of the country there is no record of such deliberate folly— such a manifest act of political and religious suicide. They have inflicted a blow on the cause of dissent, from which it will not recover for ages, and furnished proofs of weakness hailed with the most intense delight by their present faithful allies. "We have tried these Church destroyers," say the high Tories, " in a reformed House of Commons, representing every large town, where Dis senters abound ; they could muster only 34 members in a House consisting of 505 Members, or about 1 to 15, and with our aid the united party sustained the most re_ markable defeat ever known, not even excepting the palmy days of the old rotten-borough system. We know their strength, and we shall profit by experience, when they apply for the abolition of Church rates, rebel against Church extension, and raise a second time their voices against our plan of national education. PEEL has deserted us, but he has divided the forces of our enemies, and division is the certain forerunner of de feat." These are truths, unwelcome truths we admit, but the Duke knows, if the Dissenters do not, that " there is no mistake, and there can be no mistake." The discussion of Frida3 7 evening last, like its prede cessor, in the beginning of the week, on the navy esti mates, was again productive of many important revela tions connected with the past and present administra tion of our navy. If the plain speaking and somewhat homely rebukes to which Sir C. NAPIER is in the habit of treating the Board of Admiralty, whenever the busi ness before the House of Commons suggests an oppor tunity, be disagreeable to the Lords Commissioners, and perhaps occasionally somewhat indiscreet as respects the interests of the public service (and it is very doubtful whether they are fairly amenable to this latter objection), th e y are ev i dently producing, and will continue to prod uce , t h e most beneficial re sults upon the efficiency and strength of the ser vice. The Gallant Commodore, too, has been ably seconded, as we have before had occasion to remark, by such distinguished practical authorities a s C apta i ns BERKELEY, PECHELL, Rous, and by Lord INCIESTILE; and his Lordship's suggestions on Friday night, o n the subject of the establishment of a scientific board, ex clusively constituted for considering and reporting upon all new inventions, projects of improvement, &c., in connexion with the construction, rigging, and sailing of our ships of war, are well entitled to the most attentive consideration. His Lordship now declares that which we should scarcely have inferred from a speech of his in the beginning of tin, ek—namely, " that the office of surveyor of the navy involves a much greater amount of responsibility than ought to vest in any one man. That to expect all the ships in ordinary and in active service to be properly superintended by one individual, seemed to him quite unreasonable." This is the very complaint which they have made, who have most tenaciously impugned the "intuitive" system of ship building which Sir W. SYMONDS has been per mitted, at such vast expense to the country, with such uninterrupted fatuity on the part of successive Admi ralty Boards, and with results so generally remarkable for their utter failure or their costly worthlessness, to indulge in. But of the Surveyor-General's ships a word or two more presently. We would here repair an omission in our argument of last week on the absurdity as well as the mischief of undermanning ships of the line at any time ; but, when they are to be ern_ ployed in an experimental squadron, most parti cularly. We would ask, if the crews of such a squadron cannot do the duty of able seamen, what is the value of the test which their working of these ships, built on " various principles," can supply ? This scheme is like an attempt to ascertain.the respec tive pace and bottom of so many untried racers by the riding of so many untried or awkward jockies. What man in his senses would lay out his money on their future performances upon a consideration of the results of such a trial ? If your steed is a good one, it will pay you t• have the best riders. If your ships are worth anything like what the Admiralty, or their faith in the judgment of the Surveyor of the Navy, contend that they are, it is worth your while to man them with a competent proportion of able seamen. Only varied by its greater extent, surely the same argument applies to our navy at large. Nor does Sir GEORGE COCKBURN dispute that fact. So far from it, he declares that— • "The advantage of having the ships on foreign service well manned was, that the men were rendered most efficient seamen, and they had a fleet in a fit condition to meet an enemy." " But"--and when we came to this " but," we were really anxious to find what was to be the qualification of the preceding position, to which we so cordially sub scribe:— " But, unless public affairs wore a very threatening aspect, he did not think that, in a time of peace, this country should be put to the expense of maintaining a larger feet than was necessary for the protection of our commerce abroad." What! has nothing happened, of late, in either hemi sphere—has no demonstration—utterly irrespective of commerce, been made by any other Power, which has made the presence of our flag necessary, where it has had neither merchants nor merchandise to protect ? Is the moral influence of that flag, is the physical force that is concentrated beneath it, never felt nor displayed except in the service of our commerce ? We will not advert to pending differences, which needless discussion will never diminish; but we will ask how Sir GEOROB COCKBURN'S observation will apply to our slave-trade prevention cruisers? On a recent occasion, Sir CHARLES NAPIER thus illustrated the mischievous tendencies of these experimental squadron trials, whilst there is such a sad deficiency of able sea men; and no assertion of ours could so impres sively enforce upon the Government its duty to the country; or the country its duty to that Government— in the event hypothetically anticipated:— " If they wished to make the navy a popular profession, they must give up all their notions about economy, and fully man all the ships they sent to sea, or else the sailors would be discontented at the amount of work which they had to perform ; and they would be told, as they had been told on a former occasion, that ' it was all hands all day, and every body all night'." Sir C. NAPIER'S challenge of the estimates on Friday last was scarcely, we think, met by explanations suffi ciently satisfactory on the part of the Admiralty. But at all events the very charge involved in this challenge must be taken to acquit the Admiralty of any undue leaning to that " economy" which was somewhat slightingly thus alluded to by the Gallant Officer. In objecting to the vote of 1,273,7891. for naval stores, he contended that if the vote were really to pass, the amount ought not to be expended in the wasteful manner of former years. 1,350,5821. had been ex pended under this head in the first year of the present Government's return to office; 1,372,8101. in the fol lowing year; and in 1844, for stores only, 1,190,000/. ; and he would undertake, in each case, to show, that neither by the present Government nor by their prede cessors had these large votes been, in any sense of the word, properly laid out. Now, this is a grave accusa tion, for it deals with a sum of upwards of five mil lions; nor can it be said that it was left by Sir CHARLES in any vague or undetailed statement. In 1841, he showed that two ships were built of very large dimen sions, the Queen and the Albion, upon the plans of Sir W. SYMONDS. Of the trials which had been made with the Queen be had already complained as utterly insuf ficient properly to test her qualities, and that complaint he repeated, with this still more serious one—that the Admiralty had ordered other ships to be completed (which had been begun under a former Government) on the model of the Queen, before more conclusive trial and experiment had ascertained that she had the qualities which would justify the laying down any more ships of the line in the same mould. The Queen is now about to be sailed to test her powers once more, after having been taken into dock and altered at a vast expense. If, as every body must wish, she should succeed, of course the other two ships, built on the same plan, must under go similar alterations at similar charges. But what have the present Admiralty done ? They have directed the completion of the other large ships on the same con struction, namely, the Royal Albert (120),.. the Prince of Wales (110), which are but one tenth finished, another of 110 guns, one-sixteenth finished, without waiting for the reports on the two companion or pattern ships of the Queen, already referred to And will it be believed, that after the ascertained defi ciencies of the Queen, and the enormous disappoint ment occasioned by the performances of the Albion (which have been so often dwelt upon in The Sun), Her Majesty's Government, untaught by experience, undeterred by practical tests of sailing, working, and steering, exemplified in the cruizes of the experimental squadron, have ordered the Windsor Castle, of 110 guns, another first-rate of the same force, and the St. Jean d'Acre of 90, all to be built by Sir W. SYMONDS ? With regard to steam-vessels of war, the Gallant Commodore repeated his assertion, that the Gorgon, Cyclops, and Firebrand have all proved, in one essential particular, failures ; particularly as to the exposed condition of their machinery and boilers in one, and the impossi bility of carrying heavy guns on the lower deck in an other. For these mistakes the last Board of Admi ralty were responsible ; for the Retribution the present Board were answerable ; and this had all the defects of the others. We will not again follow the Gallant Member through, his comparative statement of the steam navy force of France and of this country. But it is gratifying to find, from Sir GEORGE COCKBURN'S statement in reply, that our steam navy is every day undergoing im provements in the stowage of the boilers and machinery of the vessels under the water line ; and the adoption of all new inventions of established importance. We have every confidence that these and still more exten sive benefits are in the course of daily accomplishment, and we cannot doubt of the gratitude with which the service will regard this gallant Admiralty Lord's deter mined purpose to put down the evils of the crimping system. Captain PECHELL, in an admirable speech, showed how futile and—(we should be inclined to apply to them a stronger epithet)—how practically unfounded was the despair of the Conservative Member for Brid port, of being able to man his ships without tolerating this detestable practice, and the detestable outcasts of society who conduct it, by the noble example of the Messrs. GREEN, the great builders of Blackwall. But we take it that Captain PECHELL will find it a difficult task to convert others to that belief in the excellence of such liberality as the Messrs. GREEN have dis played, which will induce its imitation. To show how great a degree of good has been already effected by the wholesome Parliamentary agitation, for which the navy and the country at large are so much indebted to the NAPIERS, BERKELEYS, PECHELLS, and ROUSES of the present day, we subjoin the very satis factory compendium of naval improvements now intro duced, or in progress, supplied in the conclusion of Sir G. COCKBURN'S speech of Friday:—" When the present Government came into office, the Admiralty took great pains to try to lower the position of the machinery in steam-vessels.' They were now building with the view of finding out the best construction, and, as he said before, Ns ith the view of placing the machinery below water-mark. They were also going to try the rotatory engine ; and though the vessels were at present liable to have their machinery struck by shot, he would venture to say they were as good as any that France possessed. He was in hopes before long to have ALL the vessels fitted with the screw instead of paddles ; and, as an instance of r sa o ed u ev n ar d enase t e h od e n Bass Rock, the efficiency of the screw, he might mention that in a trial of sp ee d th e R a ttl er b ea t th e V esuv i us , wen t before it met t o improvement the eon t e la m t p te i r a at v en e a d s efficiencydei tlh pturnedrlidf If, u aop b nfo a dn c o kut confidencehrt e w n wa e n vh ytoy, espe cially i wl the e e s of our armed steamer force, we aro, at the same time, deeply sensible how much the country is indebted for such results to the Gallant Officers above mentioned. The accounts from Madrid are to the 18th inst. It appears from the papers that the late intelligence from Rome had caused much excitement among the purchasers of Church property. The concordat gives but little satisfaction even to the Government; and besides, according to private letters, it had merely been signed as a temporary convention, and the POPE insisted upon the maintenance of the clergy being secured before he would acknowledge the legality of the sales. The Heraldo of the 18th, a Government paper, says:— " The convention, so much desired between the Spanish Government and the Court of Rome, has at length arrived. It appears that its tenor was examined in a grand council of Ministers, held yesterday, and has not proved satisfactory to the Government. It even put forward certain questions which the Cabinet were not prepared to decide upon." According to report the Government were very anxious to get rid of Queen CHRISTINA, as she was throwing innumerable difficulties in their way for her own personal purposes. The QUEEN was to leave fur Barcelona on the 24th. On the 17th the Three per Cents. closed at for cash, and 34i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest at 88 at 60 days.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. -- We are at length enabled to state that Madame Thillon is convalescent, and re appears here this evening. Some idea may be formed of the desire to see this accomplished singer, when we state that upwards of 4001. was returned from the Box office last week, for places taken on the nights she was unable to perform. Madame Thillon sings to-morrow night at the Palace, by her Majesty's command. THE COLOSSEUM. NIGHT EXHIBITION. The Colosseum was opened on Saturday evening, for a private view of the night exhibition, and a most gorgeous and magnificent exhibition it is. O n en t er i ng in Albany-street, the visitor is c on d uc t e d through the magnificent corridor, lighted by twenty. six colossal tripods, to the refreshment room, crossing which, he finds himself in the Glypt . otheca, or Hall of Sculpture, which is also splendidly illuminated. Entering the as cending room, or, if he prefers it, ascending the stair case, he finds himself in the gallery, and " L on d on by. Night " bursts upon him. The splendid pano rama, an entirely different picture from the p a n orama exhibited by day, is erected in front of that picture. The dioramic effects produced in this magnificent work of art are truly wonderful. As the spectat or d e b ouc h es on the platform his attention is first attracted by the clear blue sky, begemmed with twinkling stars, while ever and anon a fleecy cloud flies across it. He looks down and beholds the illuminated city mapped out at his feet—long and brilliant lines of light from lamps and shop-windows mark out the great leading thoroughfares, while here and there the upper windows of the houses appear irregularly illuminated, the lights occasionally appearing and disappearing, as the dwellers may be sup posed to enter or leave the rooms. The moon is at the full, and the river, " flowing at its own sweet will," reflects the moonlight from its rippling surface. The lamps of the bridges, too, are reflected beautifully—now appearing mirrored clearly and dis tinctly in :the stream below —now broken up into a thousand glittering fragments of light by the eddies of the current. This picture is certainly one of the most marvellous efforts of the pictorial art ever produced. The honour of the design is due to Mr. W. Bradwell, and the artists whose magic pencils have executed it are Mr. Danson and Mr. Telbin. Descending to the Glypto theca, we next make our way to the Chalet and Alpine tor rent. The sound of th e f a lli n g waters—the appearance of the rushing cascad es seen b y t he dim light of evening —the " monarch of m oun t a i ns " i n the back ground, towering to the heav ens an d re fl ect i ng the light from his " crown of snow," while all below reposes in his gigantic shadow, produce an effect that is awfully sublime. It is a place in which one would willingly rest awhile—a place in which one feels the full force of the sublime passage of scripture, " Commune with thine own heart, and be still." Quitting the Chalet we enter the Stalactite Cavern, the palace of the gnomes, and other earth-born deities, with its brilliant and glistening fantastic columns, its dropping waters, and its sluggish lakes. This is the last scene of .this palace of enchantment, and we quit this most magnificent of exhibitions so fascinated, so delighted with all we have beheld, that it is not until we find ourselves in the busy street, wendirg our weary way homewards, that vfe feel perfectly convinced that all we have seen there is not reality. MEMOIRS OT P RINCE C HARL ES STUART, commonly called " TH E Y OUNG P RETENDER ," with Notices of the Rebellion in 1745. By C. L Klose, Esq In this work (observes the John Bull)," we have a connected biography commencing with his birth in 1720, and eliding with hi s death in 1788, of a n i n di vi d ua l, whose daring enterprise, singular adventures, an d a ff ec ti n g trials, have been the theme of poetry and romance i n so many various forms, that there are few historical personages more familiar to the public mind. The volumes before us are a valuable accession to our historical literature. They fill, indeed, a chasm, which it is strange to think has been so long left unfilled. One cause why no regular biography of the Pretender has been undertaken, may be found, per haps, in the fact, that until lately the materials for such a work were scarcely attainable. Recently, however, much valuable and authentic information has been placed within the reach of the biographer. Of this information Mr. Klose has made diligent use, and skilfully blended it into a continuous narrative of great interest." THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1845. The Paris papers state that the Emperor of MOROCCO had refused to ratify the treaty of commerce concluded by his Envoy and General DE LA RUE on the part of the French Government. The fact is thus stated in the Journal des Debatq, on the authority of a letter dated Tangiers, May 5 :—" It appears certain that the EMPEROR commanded that his Plenipotentiary, SIDI AIIMED-EL-KITADER, should be cast into prison on his arrival at Fez. The EMPEROR asserts, that his Envoy exceeded his powers in negotiating the treaty of com merce, for which he had no instructions. Another ver sion of the affair speaks of the cession of a portion of the Morocco territory, which never belonged to the regency of Algeria. Whatever may be the real facts. the circumstance of the imprisonment of EL-KIIADER causes an apprehension that the convention will not be ratified by the EMPEROR. It is likewise said, that the EMPEROR has dispatched ten soldiers to seize the Caid of Ouchda, SID ITAMIDA, Plenipotentiary with EL-KHADER for tho delimitation of the frontiers." Some of the, Opposition journals very absurdly attributes this failure to English policy. The Constitutionnel, however, can see no foundation for such a charge, for the best of all reasons, that it is the policy of England to preserve a good understanding between Morocco and France. " The following facts," it says, " will explain the state of our commercial relations with Morocco. England alone enjoys more than three-fourths of the maritime trade with that empire. France enjoys scarcely one sixth of that trade, but she is admirably situated for increasing her commerce. If the Marseilles merchants, who enjoy the greater part of the Morocco trade had not been harassed by the ex tortions practised by the Moorish Custom-houses, they would have long since become formidable rivals to the English. The amount of the commercial transactions between England and Morocco during the year 1842 was 14,541,000 f. That of France during the same year was not more than 2,984,0001. But this enormous dis- proportion disappears if we consider the respective operations of the two countries in the port of Mogadore during the same year. On the part of England they did not exceed the amount of 4,396,000 f. On that of France they reached the sum of 1,872,000 f. This is encouraging for France, and would be still more favourable if a treaty of commerce per mitted our merchants to operate on certain data and freed them from the apprehension of becoming the vic tims of the fiscal caprice of the EMPEROR. England, which possesses the good graces of MULEY ABDERAH MAN, may desire the maintenance of such a state of things, but it is improbable that she urged the EM PEROR to refuse to ratify a convention stipulated in the treaty of peace signed in the year 1844. The conse quences of such an act cannot be calculated, and Eng land has no interest to accomplish a rupture between France and Morocco." According to the Moniteur, there has been an increase in the French trade with the ports of Algeria since 1843. Returns published in that journal show that the number of French vessels which entered those harbours in 1844 was 2,726, measuring 204,266 tons ; of foreign 1,952, measuring 169,430 tons ; and of native vessels, 196, measuring 2,925 tons ; in all 4,874 vessels, measur ing 376,621 tons ; independently of 675 vessels of the Royal Navy. As compared with the arrivals in 1843, there is a diminution in the number of vessels, but an increase in the tonnage. Count ROT had presented to the Chamber of Peers the report of the Committee on the Bill for converting the Five per Cents., in which they declare the time not only inop portune, but call in question the right of the State to effect the conversion. The French Funds have been depressed by the news from Morocco. On Saturday the Three per Cents. closed at 85f. 95c. ; the New Loan, at 86f. 30c. ; the Five per Cents. at 121 f. 60c.; Orleans Railroad Shares at 1,225 f. ; Rouen, 1,125 f. ; Vierzon, 820 f. • Havre, 897 f. 50 c . ; A v ignon, 1,040 f. ; Basle, 270 f. ; Spanish Actives, 404 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 41% 8 ; Spanish Passives, 7 3 / 4 .

Accounts received from most parts of the Continent repre sent the weather as having been very severe, and in many parts some anxiety was felt respecting the prospects of the crops. From St. Petersburgh, under date of the 12th inst., we are advised that the cold continued. The Russians, acs cording to the same advices, are quietly, but steadily, in creasing their territory, as it is stated that the extent of country now under the control of the St. Peteraburgh Go vernment in ;North America, is equal to one-third of Euro pean Russia. A great impetus was expected to be given to Russian commerce by the recent establishment of several steamers on the Caspian Sea. [There are accounts of a commercial nature from most of the continental markets to-day. Speculation appears to be at a discount in goods in almost all quarters, the transac tions of this sort being confined to shares in the various railway projects that have of late been started. It is much to be apprehended that very serious losses will be occasioned by the subscribers to many of those schemes. By the way, while upon this topic, it may be as well to Mention that very great dissatisfaction is expressed at the delay shown by the French authorities in conceding the lines, the larger proportion of the amounts required to commence new projects of this kind having been subscribed for by capitalists and others on this side of the water. A. correspondent asks us to publish the prospectus first issued relative to the construction of the Royal North of Spain Railway. Now this we cannot do, as it is an advertisement, and nearly a column in length. The Company is in progress, and no return of the first deposit can be enforced. if our correspondent does not wish to hold on, his only plan is to sell his Shares, taking care that they are assigned to a man of means. The Shares have been at a discount. They are now rather better—say % to 1 4 per Share premium. In this way (we can't say a victim to the scheme, as our corres pondent calls himself), he may relieve his anxiety on the sub ject. It will be a very considerable period, no doubt, Ere there is a bond fide return from the Royal North of Spain Railway. A very small amount of business has been transacted in the public Securities to-day. Consols and the other Stocks are somewhat heavy. For the Account the price is 991 1 / 4 , and for transfer to-morrow, 99 1 / 8 . The premium in Exchequer bills has rallied to 625., and India Bonds to 91s. 925. pre mium. Bank Stock is nominally the same as on Saturday. The same may be said of East India Stock. A fair amount of transactions have been reported in the Continental Stocks to-day,but prices have not changed much. The Belgian Four-and -a-Half per Cents were at 98% ; Bra zilian at 89 ; Chilian, at 97 ; Portuguese Converted have fallen from 67 1 ,E to 66% ; Russian from 119 to 1184. Spanish Consols are at 29% 74, and the Three per Cents. at 41 1 / 2 %. The Railway Share_ Market has been rather heavy this morning, with an inconsiderable amount of bargains. New projects are rapidly in progress of formation. The greatest caution ought to be observed by those who have money to lose in the selection of intended lines, ere they subscribe their names to the deeds prepared for that purpose.

Fresh up we received a very small supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and other parts of England ; however, the stands were scantily supplied with samples of both Red and Whits. This falling off in the supply, together with an in creased number of buyers in attendance, caused the demand for all descriptions of English Wheat to rule active, at an ad vance in the currents obtained on Monday last of from is to 2s, in some instances 3s per quarter. The show of Fine Foreign Wheat samples was by no means extensive. Bonded Grain was more sought after, and several speculative 'transactions took place in it. Very little Barley, either of home or foreign produce, was on offer. The Malt trade was somewhat firmer than last week. The best Potato Oats sold freely at 6d per quarter more money. All other de scriptions were quite as dear. Beans and Peas were is per quarter higher, owing to the short supplies on offer. Flour was steady at full prices.

The number of foreign Beasts consisted of twenty-seven head, the whole of which were in fair average condition ; while fresh up from our various grazing districts the Bullock droves were somewhat on the increase compared with those reported on this day se'nnight. The attendance of both London and country dealers was somewhat extensive, yet the Beef trade—arising chiefly from the Beasts coming to hand in much better condition than for some weeks past— was not quite so active as on Friday, though the cur rencies realised on Monday last were supported in every instance, and a good clearance was effected by the salesmen. We regret to observe that both the Beasts and Sheep—more particularly the latter—were suffering severely from the effects of the epidemic. On the roads the losses continue severe. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,700 short-horned Scots and Homebreds ; from the northern counties 200 short • horns; from the western and midland districts, 250 Devons, Herefords, Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 200 of various kinds; and from Scotland 250 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were seasonably extensive, though there was nothing remarkable amongst them as to quality. Prime old Downs moved off freely, at fully the late advances in the quotations, they selling at from 4s 10d to 5s per Sibs ; but all other kinds met a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. From the Isle of Wight 147 Lambs came to hand per railway, while the receipts from other quarters were liberal. Prime Down qualities were in steady demand at full prices, but other kinds of Lamb were rather inactive. We had a fair trade for Veal, and last week's quotations were well supported. More business was doing in Pigs, and the rates had an up ward tendency. Per Blbs. to s s. d. s. d.

Wi t h London-slaughtered Meat we have been fairly supplied, yet the general demand must be considered active, while prices have further advanced, to the extent of about 2d par Slbs for Beef, Lamb, Veal, and the primest Pork, those of Mutton ruling about stationary. About thirty carcases of Beasts, and forty carcases of Sheep, received from Holland, have been disposed of at improved quotations. I Pigs. 323 At per stone, by the Carcase. s. - d. to s. d.

The demand here, for all kinds of Hops, is very inactive, at barely last week's quotations. A few parcels of American Hops have sold, for exportation, at 60s per cwt. WOOL MARKET. In the last week about 1,200 packages of Wool have ar rived in the Port of London, chiefly from our colonies. The public sales in progress since mix last have been well at tended, while nearly the whole of the 12,000 packages offered have found buyers, at, in some instances, a trifling improve ment in the quotations. There is a steady business doing in the private contract market, and prices are well supported. TALLOW Since our last this market has assumed a still firmer tone, and good first sort Y.

The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell, were in attendance to-day at eleven o'clock, to hear appeals. The Judges were also required to attend ; but in consequence of their not doing so, the business appointed for the day could not be pro ceeded with, aad their Lordships adjourned to five o'clock. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day, having to attend the House of Lords. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTIE of the Rou.s, after disposing of the case of Matson v. Swift, proceeded to hear causes, none of which were of any interest. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) DARER V. LORD PORTARLINGTON. The arguments in this case, which have already occupied the Court three days, were resumed this morning. the case comes before the Court upon a motion for a receiver of the rents, &c., of the Portarlington and Darner estates, and also for an order that the London Joint Stock Bank should pay into Court the sum of 15,2741. now remaining in their hands, to the credit of the late trustees, John Wright, William Blount, and Pierce Mahony; that William Blount might be restrained from receiving the rents of the trust estates, or interfering with the management thereof, and that Messrs. Palmer and Nettleship might be restrained from re moving from the joint-stock bank any of the documents or papers relating to the trust estates. The circumstances out of which the present suit arises were these :—ln the year 1832 the family estates of Lord Portarlington in several counties in Ireland, esti mated at the value of 850,0001., and producing a rental of up wards of 27,0001. per annum, being subject to many heavy incum brances and irredeemable life annuities to members of his Lord ship's family, an arrangement was entered into to consolidate the incumbrances in one mortgage, which was to form the primary charge on the property, subject only to the irredeemable annui ties. The sum of 344,0001., which was required for this purpose, was contributed by several persons, and the estates conveyed in mortgage to William Blount, a trustee of the will of the late Earl of Shrewsbury, John Wright, late the banker, and Pierce Mahony, a solicitor in Dublin, through whose agency the money was ob tained upon trust for the contributors, and subject to the usual proviso for redemption. In default, the trustees were authorised to enter upon and manage the estates, appoint receivers, and do every usual act of ownership, and in case the mortgage money remained unpaid in December, 1840, they wero empowered to sell the estates. The power to appoint new trustees was vested in a majority of the contributors. The execution of the trust proceeded smoothly till the end of the year 1841, when dif ferences arose among the trustees relative to the retention by Mr. Mahony, against the wishes of his co-trustees, of some of the trust moneys, upon which he claimed a lien for costs, and a suit was instituted by Messrs. Palmer and Nettleship, the -English solicitors of the trust, at the instance of a large number of contributors, to remove Mr. Mahony from the trust, and to have an account taken i 'of the moneys received by him. While this suit was proeeedirg Mr. Wright, who had previously become bankrupt and was desirous to retire from the trust, signed and placed in the hands of Mr. Palmer a memorandum expressing his desire to be discharged from the office in favour of Mr. Thomas Joseph Eyre. In March, 1843, a cross suit was filed by Mr. Ma hony against the other trustees, and these two suits in the Irish Courts produced a negotiation which resulted in Mr. Mahony's consenting to retire from the trust, and all proceedings being discontinued. A deed was then prepared with the approba tion of a majority in value of the contributors, appointing the plain. tiff, Colonel Dawson Darner, and Mr. T. J. Eyre, trustees, in the room of Messrs. Wright and Mahony, and the endeavours to obtain the execution of this deed by the retiring trustees and the other necessary parties appeared to have augmented the disputes among the trustees and the parties espousing the one side or the other, until they had grown into the severest hostilities, and led to nego tiations and correspondence of which it is impossible to give any de scription. Mr. Wright appeared to have signed a counter-part of the deed which was confided to Mr. Palmer, and from which at a sub sequent period the name of Mr. Wright was torn by Mr. Palmer. Mr. Mahony refused to execute the deed till January last, when he signed and delivered it as an escrow to be kept by Mr. Rhodes, his solicitor, until certain conditions should have been performed, the principal of which, as far as they wore disclosed, appeared to be that Palmer and Nettleship should be discharged from act.. ing as solicitors to the trust, and that a cheque for 1,1811., claimed by Mr. Mahony to be due to hint for goats, should be signed by the trustees. The affairs of the trust had oousequently fallen into the greatest disorder. The title-deeds and pap ers had been placed by Messrs. Palmer and Nettleship in the custody_ of the joint-stock bank, and trust-moneys to t he amount of 15,5241. had also been paid to them in the na mes of WOO'. Blount, and Mahony, and the bank refused to part with the balance, except under the joint order of those three persons, which it seeme d . impossible to obtain ; and Messrs. Palmer and Net tleship claimed a lien on the title-deeds, and, acting under the direction of Mr• Blount, u t, refused to deliver them to the new trustees. The Te t o i ceiveis were alleged to be greatly in arrear with t heir PaYtne the rents, and the securities of one of them had been lost b 1 the bankruptcy of Messrs. Wright, in whose house the sureties_ t h e suit were partners. Mr. Blount was also proceeding with had been in the Irish Court of Chancery, and a no tice served upon him by the new trustees to stay the litige".% In this confused and distracted state of the trust the Present was filed, Colonel Darner to piece it under the direction of the English Court of Chancery, praying a decree that Mr. Eyre an d himself might be declared to have been well and effectually tP pointed trustees of the property, that Wright, Blount, and g es e" hony might be directed to execute all necessary acts to y' the estates in them ; that Mr. Blount might be removed fr o r the office of trustee ; that the joint-stock bank might tha t dered to pay the balance of 15,5241. to the new trustees, ' Messrs. falmer and Nettleship might be ordered to deliver UP them the title-deeds and documents relating to the esta te, as as the deed of resignation signed by Wright, and that if the Cotit:, should be of opinion that the plaintiff and Eyre have duly appointed trustees, that Wright might be removed and f, i trustees appointed, and a receiver appointed of the rents in '' meantime. the Mr. BETHELL and Mr. PALMER have been already heed on part of the application.
