A very in teresting article on " Africa," and a delightful biography of Benjamin Franklin, are to be found in this number, as also the commencement of an analy sis of the popular new work " Lavengro." KNIGHT'S SERIAL PUBLICATIONS. The monthly issues of the various serial publica tions of the indefatigable and enterprising Charles Knight continue to deserve those commendations which we have from time to time bestowed upon them. Here, for the moderate sum of one shilling, we have a beautifully printed and illustrated edition of the Merchant of Venice, forming Part X. of Knight's Pictorial Shahspere, and the conclusion of the tirst volume oft hat valuable work. This first volume, which contains the comedies of the im mortal dramatist, being thus brought to a conclusion, at the very moment of Mr. Macready's retirement from the stage, is very appropriately dedicated by Mr. Knight to his fellow- labourer " in the honest endeavour to diffuse more widely a more intimate knowledge, and with that a deeper love of our great poet's works." —lialf-Hours with the Best Authors presents us this month with Crabbe's beautiful poem " Yes, there are real mourners"—with a glimpse of " Sancho P,lnza"—with some artistic observations by Sir Joshua Reynolds—with Sir Philip Sydney's defence of poesy—with extracts from Bulwer, and Boccaccio, and Humboldt, and Ben Jonson and many, and equally various, others ; nor must we omit to particularize " The Duel," that most beau tirul and truly pathetic account of the death of poor Lord Frederick Verisopht, so familiar to all the readers of " Nicholas Nickleby." Full of cordial and delightful eulogium are the introductory remarks to this extract—to leave out the name of Charles Dickens in a collection from the works of the best authors, says Mr. Knight, " would be akin to the famous omission in the Roman procession."—The Pictorial Half-Hours, the Cyclopedia of Industry, the Cyclopedia of London, and Knight's Excursion Companion, are all in their several ways excellent, and admirably well adapted to supply fitting infor mation to the stranger in London or the excursionist in the country. GENTLEMAN'S. The opening paper of this number, on the present state of English Historical Literature, ex poses the management of the State Paper-office as one of such carelessness as regards the custody of im portant historical documents, and such obstructive ness to the efforts of those who have to consult them, as to call imperatively for immediate interference ; we trust that the attention of Parliament will be directed to this important subject. Mr. Peter Cunningham continues the interesting story of Nell Gwyn ; it is brought down in the present instalment to the period when Nelly quitted the stage. We have also some newly discovered poems by Bishop Hall, and an ad mirable article on Socrates, besides several valuable notices of recently published works and papers on several antiquarian and genealogical subjects.

Another instalment of the reprint of this popular tale has appeared this month. MISCELLANEOUS. Every month in noticing Ainsworth's we have to particularise as its most excellent portions the bold colouring and romantic design of the "Lancashire Witches" and the practical good sense which charac terises the sketches of E. P. Rowsell.—The Sports man this month has a capital illustration—'` The Bay Beat!" The beaten horse is still straining every nerve, but the desperation visible in its eye tells that it is conscious its efforts are hopeless. Among the literary contents of the Sportsman is an article by Harry Hieover on those all-important qua lifications " Tact and Taste."—The Farmer's Ma gazine, in addition to various original papers, gives the article " On the Progress of Agricultural Know ledge during the last Eight Years," by Mr. Pusey, illustrated by Professor Dove's chart, which appeared in the Journal of the Royal agricultural Society.— The London Journal of Inventions, as usual, abounds in admirably well executed engravings of new patent inventions.—Among the religious periodicals, the Church of England Magazine preserves its usual features ; the Rambler contains some well written articles, one in reference to Lord John Rus sell's Bill, is entitled " How shall we meet the Pro testant Aggression ?" A little brochure, called " A Monthly Packet of Evening Readings for Younger Members of the English Church, is likely to prove both interesting and useful for young readers. It contains fictitious tales, and religious instruction written in a simple and attractive manner.—The series of Penny Maps is continued in undiminished ex cellence.—The Belle Assemblee, under the judicious management of Mrs. Newton Crosland, presents us with a variety of pleasing tales and thoughtful criti cisms. In this number is an excellent article from the pen of the editress.—Le Follet continues to preserve its place as the most graceful exponent of fashion. —Mrs. Ellis's Morning Call is chiefly rendered inte resting by the story of the Editress, " Self-deception ; or, the History of a Human Heart." Some portions of this tale are beautifully written. A sketch on " Interesting People" in this number is worth reading. —Chambers s Journal continues to maintain its high character, and a selection of excellent articles under the head of Chambers's Papers for the People, neatly bound, which from time to time makes its ap pearance, increases the already weighty claims of the Messrs. Chambers on the gratitude of the reading public.—The People's Journal gives us an agreeable variety of prose and poetry.—The Colonial Magazine contains an interesting article on "The Present Sys tem of British Ernigration."—The Naturalist, a monthly magazine illustrative of the animal, vege table, and mineral kingdonds, has this month made its first appearance. ROYAL MARINES.—PLYMOUTH, MARCH B.—C6 Commandant William Fergusson has, at his own request, much to the regret of all ranks, retired, on the full pay list, from the command of this division, after a service of up wards of half a century. His commission as a second lieute nant is dated Sept. 10, 1798 ; from which time up to 1829 he engaged in several severe actions, and received many dan gerous wounds. He was at the capture of Admiral Perrie's squadron from Egypt, when in the pursuit of the French and Spanish fleet, in 1799 ; was at the blockade of Molts, when the Genereux and part of ker convoy was captured; in the Queen Charlotte, when burnt oil' Leghorn ; and remained three hours in the water, eighteen miles from the main land, and received a severe wound in his breast from p h art of the wreck. In the numero us engagements in whic he subse quently took part he had many hair-breadth escapes, and was instrumental on more than one occasion in turning the tide of fortune in favour of his own service. He was pro moted to the rank of first lieutenant on the 29th of April, 1804 ; captain, 23d of February, 1814 ; brevet-major, 10th of January, 1837 ;lieutenant -colonel, 10th of July, 1837 ; co lonel, second commandant, 9th of November, 1846; colonel commandant, 3d of April, 1849. He retires from the divi sion with tLe good wishes of all who have been in any way conneted with him. CINTOM'S FACILITIES IN SOUTHWARK. --- There has been for some time past a movement on the p art of the wharfingers and others interested in the trade of the south side of the Thames, with a view to obtain from the Govern ment increased customs facilities in regard to the landing and warehousing stating that, in reply to the memorials of th e merchants on of goods. We have the satisfaction of the subject, the Government has consented to restore too these wharfs the privileges of landing and warehousing freign goods, with but one cr two exceptions. THE ARMY AND NAVY CLUB HOUSE.—The oar case or shell of the building cost 18,500/. (Mr. Trego con tractor); the interior cost 16,500/. (Messrs. Smith and Appleford contractors); in all 35,000/. exclusive of the fit tings. The comparatively small plot of land on which it stands has cost the club 52,000/, and the total expenditure may be called, in round numbers, 100,000/ —Builder. IRISH WIT.—At the Theatre Royal Dublin, lately, one of the " gods' called for a cheer for ex-mayor (Reynolds) when a wag in the pit immediately called for another cheer for the double X Mayor (Guinness), which caused a ro ar of laughter. A company has been formed for the manufacture of sugar from beet-root in Ireland. They have secured all the patents for improved methods of manufacture, and contem plate operations on a large scale. The unfortunate woman, Mrs. Smith, who was so much burned on Friday night, at No. 23, Skinner-street, Clerkenw ell, expired during yesterday from the effects of the injuries she had received. SIR JAMES MATHESON AND THE LEWIS FISHINGS. —We have pleasure in quoting from the Banffshire Jour nal:—" Sixteen boats have left Buckle and Purtknockie to pursue the haddock and cod fishing off the island of Lewis. Two of the crews have been engaged partly for the pur pose of instructing the native fishermen in the proper mode of pursuing those branches of the fishery. Th e y have been engaged for this purpose by a Banffshire curer, who intends, if encouragement offers, to settle permanently in the island. He has received every countenance from the spirited proprietor, Sir James Matheson, who is sensible of ' the great benefit that would be conferred on the island, were the population instructed in the best means of taking advantage of the store of wealth lying around their shores." ORIGIN OF HAUL/ QUINS.—In a note to his trans lation of Priscus' "1-listory f the Embassy sen t to At t il a by Theodosius the Younger" (Hist. CiviEz. app. iii., vol. ii., p. 430, Bougue's edit. European Library), M. Guizot remarks, alluding to the appearance of Zercho, a Moor, at Attila's feast Is it not singular to find an harlequin at the court of Attila? Yet such is the origin of these buffoons. The colour of the black slaves, the strangeness of their face and manners, caused them to be sought after as excellent ministers of mirth ; to complete the singularity, Zercho asks his wife at the hands of Attila, closely paralleling Harlequin I demanding Columbine."... Notes and Queries. THE LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1851. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Friday the 7th, the Secretary for the Home Department, Sir George Grey, announced the alterations which are to be made in the \ Papal Aggres sion Bill. There is a shocking story among the en tomologists, of an unhappy locust that lived and stirred six months after its bowels were taken out. This ma:- be taken as descriptive of the situation of the Bill. The second, third, and fourth Clauses are to be taken out, and nothing left but the prohibition of assuming Titles, which has been so often declared to be nugatory and useless. The fact is, the Pope and his French supporters have conquered. Their great regret must be, that instead of a Cardinal's hat they did not send you a Merechal's baton. If they had, there would have been just the same impossibility of getting up a prompt and effective resistance. Setting aside the Catholics as matter of course, there would have been the seine parties to cry out for " proceeding to the business of the country," and the same astonishment and regret that any friend of civil and religious liberty should be found doubting the right of all men to be tree and equal in Dover Castle. Like the King of Wirtemburg, I may individually console myself with not being extensively interested in the results. But you that have more chances of witnessing the end, may live to see what will make you remember what was said to you. A painful circumstance connected with the present aspect of affairs, is the total nullity of any influence of the Working Classes. They either do not inter fere at all, or if they do, they follow those who bid them run their heads into the fire. For example, it is made an open boast, that on the quest ion of PapaiAg gression the Working Classes have shown no feeling. What does this amount to, but that the consciousness the Working Classes once had of interest upon the subject is worn out, mainly, it is true, through the absence of personal suffering or provocation ; and that the historical and political knowledge which would tell them that the leading object of the Papal power has always been to reduce the numerous and industrious classes to the condition in which they are found in Naples, Portugal, or Spain, is a sealed book to them, which they have never read, or if read have never weighed? On another subject, the Income Tax, they show an equal lack of ability to know their interest and sup port it. When Lord Stanley proposed to lay a tax on foreign corn as the means of removing the In come Tax,—in other words, to stop your mills at Bradford and apply the money raised in consequence to relieving the rich from the fraction of the general taxation in which they pay on something like an equitable scale,—there can be no doubt that he calculated on support among the Working Classes, and that many of them would be prepared to give it. That the Working Classes on a large proportion of the taxation pay at higher rates going as far as eleven times the rate upon the rich, does not make them proof against the shallowest of outcries by which the rich endeavour to throw from their shoulders the fraction on which they pay with some thing like fairness. All this is not consolatory to the real friends of the Working Classes. There must be more Reading Rooms and Mechanics' Institutes, before the Work ing Classes know their interests and can support them. At the present moment, any " shoy-hoy, as the author of the Political Register used to say,— any cry got up, of all men's equal right to roast us in Smithfield when a foreign power tells them, or of the sufferings of the rich from not paying at an eleventh of the rate on all the taxes as they do on some, will lead them to sit still in their localities, and let the vessel drift the way that chance may dictate. I remain, Sir, yours very sincerely AN OLD REFORMER. London, 10 March, 1851. THE EXHIBITION. PAINTING THE STRUCTURE. —Messrs. Fox and Hen derson have bound themselves by contract to complete within a fortnight the whole internal painting, of which not an eighth part has yet been finished. To do this they will put on 500 painters, or 1,000 it necessary; and with them they will, at one dash, make a clean sweep of the building. SEASON TICKETS.—The Council of the Society of Arts have just issued a circular to the members of the society, urging upon them the advantage of purchasing season tickets tor the Exhibition at the tariff charges settled for the first issue, as it is probable that the power reserved of raising the prices after the first issue has been exhausted will be exercised by the Commis sioners. Up to Saturday night 5,200 were sold. These tickets are not transferable; and to insure this, every holder of a season ticket, until they become personally known to the officers, will be required to sign their names in a visitor's book every time they use it. SPORTING NOTES. No. XVII. DERBY, MILNTLIORPE, AND SLOUGH STEEPLE CHASES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The present week is replete with sport, to-morrow we have the D erby and Milnthorpe, on Wednesday the Slough, and on Thursday the Burford and Doncaster Steeple chases; and likewise on Thursday and Friday the Doncaster Flat-races. With the exception of Burford, I intend to touch upon them all; to begin with Derby—out of sixteen entries for the Midland Steeplechase, eleven have accepted, in cluding Vain Hope, i Ist 71b; The Victim, 1 ist 51b; British Y e oman, lOst 121 b ; Abd-el-Kader, ost Illb ; Ben Lomond, 10st slb ; Miss Collingwood, lOst 51b; Trust me-Not, lOst 31b; Tipperary Boy, lOst 21b; and Volatile, Bst 81b. From the above I shall strike out Vain Hope as not likely to win whether he runs or not, The Victim fer having exactly his penalty (51b) for the Coventry Steeplechase, too much on his back, and Abd-el-Kader as dubious runner, considering how close this meeting is to that at Doncaster. I fancy the race will lay among the follow ing four : The British Yeoman, Tipperary Boy, Miss Col lingwood, and Trust-me-Not, and were I certain that the first-named would run, I should have but little hesitation in placing them thus THE BRITISH YEOMAN ............ 1 TIPPERARY BOY. 2 MISS COLLINGVY OOD TRUST-ME-NOT 4 Should the Yeoman not go for the main, the race will be between the Boy and the Miss, and a very close affair it will be, the former probably just nicking it; " the money" says the latter. The Hurdle Race, one mile and a half (rather short), will furnish a good race between Cogia, Lucy, and May-day, and although it is said to be a certainty for Cogia, it would not surprise me to see one of the other two the winner; it is said that the Swift, Matilda, Loddington, and the Slug will also run. The Milnthorpe Steeplechase will have some six or seven runners, among whom Isaac, list 101 b, Falcon, lOst 71b, and Valiant, lOst 71b, will figure conspicuously, and I think it just possible they will catch the judge's eye in the order I have placed them. This is the only race of any importance at Milnthorpe. On Wednesday we have the Slough Steeplechase of 5 sovs. each, with 40 added; for this race, as for the last, I imagine it will be between a trio, Kilkenny lOst 101 b, Rendsburgh lOst 71b, and Volatile 9st 101 b; but as Volatile's running is not at all certain, he being engaged at Derby to-morrow, I must set his chance aside ; but should he run, he wins ! In his absence I shall place Kilkenny first, and Rendsburgh second. The Doncaster events I shall touch upon to-morrow ; in the meanwhile I may as well observe, that Peter Simple, if run to win, would be my fancy for the Steeplechase, but as the money declares this to bo dubious, I must anchor my hopes on Maria Day and Abd-el-Kader, the former for choice. In the cArse of the ensuing fog tnight or three weeks I &lan la bet': re you my annual observations on the metro politan " SPORTING HOUSES," which met with such ge , er,l approval last year, noting down those " lists" which are, far us human juegment can discern, cf the substantial and most stable kind, and adding thereto such memorand s con cerning them as I may deem worth recording.

Prince Albert has manifested the deep interest which he feels in the operations of the Society for Improving the Condition of the Working Classes, by engaging to build, at his own expense, an Exhibition model house, for four families, and to place the saint, in the stable-yard at the west end ot the cavalry barracks, Hyde-Park, immediately opposite the Exhibition building. The intended house is to be of hollow brick, with fire-proof floors and fiat roof ; showing the ap plicability of these important principles to houses of but very moderate dimensions.

Sunderland Herald. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, MARCH 9. By the royal mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Ririe, which arrived in the Mersey shortly after eleven o'clock this morning, we have advices from Now York to the 26th ult. She brings nine-four passengers and upwards of 40,000/. in specie on freight. The Africa arrived at New York on the 15th ult , the Cambria on the 20di ulr., and the United States mail steamer Baltic on the 20th ult. . The stesm-ship Washington left New York on the 22d ult., for Bremen. A riot, arising out of the Fugitive Slave Act, had occurred at Boston during a trial. The mob rushed into the court and released the prisoner. President Fillmore, in consequence of the disturb ance, had issued a proclamation, calling upon ell well-dispos , ql citizens, and requiring the military to assist in enforcing the law. CALIFORNIA. The dates are from the 15;11 of January, by the steam-ships Ohio and Cherokee, the former with 200,000 dolls., and the latter with 540,000 dolls. in gold dust on freight. The papers do not publish any intelligence from the mines. From Hayti we have accounts which extend to the to th ult. The Emperor was preparing to march against the Dominicans. Coffee was selling at 10c., and scarce. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. MONEY MARKET. NEW YOBS, FEB. 26.—A large amount of business has been done in foreign exchange for the steamer, with a steady demand in rates. This is unusual at this sea• son of the year, particularly with the high rates that produce brings in Europe; but is easily accounted for when we consider that although 2,000,000 of dollars were paid from the assistant-treasurer's office in this city on the 19th, thus reducing the balance in hand to 2,600,000, it has already advanced under the daily re ceipts of duties to 3,250,000 dollars. How this foreign indebtedness is to be met should no advance arise in breadstuffs is a matter of grave consideration to cur capitalists. We are now suffering under the drain of bullion; the market was pretty well cleared of first-class bil:s at 94 to 10 for sterling, including some 30,0001. of Canada Bank bills. All the continental bills are scarce and firm. Oa Amsterdam 411 to 414; Hamburg, 36a to 364; Bremen, 784 to 784. Cotton—Talcotes Circular says,—The sales since our last report per Canada, the 10th inst., amounted to about 20,000 bales, and prices, under the disappointment and unfavourable prices per Africa and Baltic, have daily yielded until the close, and quotations are reduced to 14e. on last advices; holders generally are stated to have shown no anxiety to realize, and the sales effected have been of parcels presented on sale to meet either pressing obligations or to secure the advances when they appeared by the course of the market to be jeopardized. We close with light sales and moderate offerings at the following quotations :—lnferior nominal ordinary to good ordinary, 104 to 104; for Atlantic, 11 to 114; for Or leans and Mobile, 104 to 104; for Gull low middling to middling, 11 to 114; for Atlantic, 114 to 114 • for Or leans and Mobile, 11 to 111 ; f or G u lf goo d mid dling, 114 to 111; for Atlantic, 114 to 12; for Orleans and Mobile, 114 to 114; for Gu lf middling fair to fair, 12 to 12i; for Atlantic, Orleans, Mobile, and Gulf none offered, and scarce; fully fair to fair and good fair, none offered in either. Iron—The market generally is inactive, and English bars are dull. We note sales of 300 tons Scotch pig, from the wharf and to arrive, 21 dolls. 50c.; and 68 tons of Swedish steel iron, at 82 dolls. 50c. for six months. Tobacco—Continues firm, and in good demand. Floar—With the usual home consumption and conse quent decrease of winter stock, it has been expected that the market would rally, but I have again to report the same dull and languid state, and a small reduction in price. Grain—ln wheat the transactions are light. Gen nesse white is held at 115 c. to 118 c., and Ohio 105 c. to 108 c.; Canadian in bond, 105 c. to 108 c. Freights—lmprovements have taken place in rates on Liverpool, in consequence of the advance in the southern ports. Cotton to Liverpool may be quoted at 3.16 to 1; flour, ls.; grain in bulk, 4 to 44; heavy goods, 15s. to 20s. To London, flour is is. 6d. To Havre, cotton, To California, rates are nominal, ranging from 30c. to 20c. per foot. NEW ORLEANS, Fzs. 25.—There is an increased ac tivity in the market for cotton, but prices are depressed and favour the purchaser. The transactions for two days amount to 13,000 bales, including middling at 101. AMERICAN SHIPPING.

SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH Royal Mail Com pany's steam-ship Severn, Captain Vincent, arrived this morning at seven o'clock, from the West Indies with the mails in charge of Lieut. Wilkinson, R.N., Admiralty agent. On the homeward voyage of the Severn she had fine weather for the first five days, and would have made an excellent passage home had not an accident happenEd to her machinery on the 4th inst., but which was remedied in about 32 hours. The latest dates brought by the Severn are—Vera Cruz, Bth Feb.; Tampico, 4th; Chagres, 9th; Cartba gene, 11th; Jamaica, 14th; Demerara, 11th; Trinidad, 13th; Barbadoes, 16th; Grenada, 14th; Porto Rico, 18th; St. Thomas, 19th; La Guayra, 11th; Antigua, 15th; Jacmel, 10th; Santa Martha, 29th Jan.; Grey Town, 3d Feb. The Severn brought 63 passengers. Her freight consisted of 1,567,688 dolls. on merchants' account, 51,000 dolls. for the dividends, 1,750 platins, 118 aprons of cochineal, 23 ditto of jelapa, 13,100 pearls, 5 tierces of coffee, and 1 bag 2 cases saccades, 2 cases plants, 7 packages arrowroot, 114 bales of sarsaparilla, 32 serons indigo, 12 packages for Exhibition 1851, 51 packages samples unknown. JAMAICA. By the arrival of the Severn we are placed in posses• sion of our files of papers from Jamaica to the 14th 01 February. In consequence of rough weather experienced by the Avon on her voyage from Southampton, the mails from that place of the 17th of January did not reach Kingston until the morning of the 12th of February. The irregular manner with which the steamers arrive in Kingston, since the new route, has been the cause of general complaint, and appears to have occasioned much inconvenience and dissatisfaction. We perceive with much regret that at the election of St. David's for a representative, ii - serioustiCst took place, which resulted in the death of Mr. David M.Lean, coroner of the parish. The candidates were James Porteous, Esq., who was supported by the Conservative party, and John Nunes, Esq., who was supported by the Government party, or perhaps better known as the clique party. The facts of the case are these:—On the morning of the election a band of ruffians, numbering about 300, were marched down Nunes party, and stationed in front of the Court-house. During the day the polling of under the escort of the the votes continued: very fairly balanced, and doubts were entertained who would be the successful candidate; but as soon as it was dis covered that the interest of Mr. Nunes was at an end, determined to ca ll up the reserve f orce , and to prevent any one from voting for Mr. Porteous. At votes, ad t h it was this juncture the votes in the parish were almost ex e ac each thenp party ty ex hausted, and the few remaining being inimical to Mr, Nunes, his gan g were ordered to prevent the return of Mr. Porteous. Every obstacle was now offered to those who felt disposed to vote for Mr. Porteous, and the riotous and bloody sce ne commenced in all its fury. Large stones were i ndiscriminately thrown by the band of ruffians, and threatened destruction to all around. The police were severely Wounded, many per sons received serious injuries; and one met with an un timely and cruel death. In this alarming moment, the recording officer, finding it dangerous to remain in the Court-house, was forced to adjourn the poll, and seek protection by flight. On the following day, however, the election was resumed, and a vote having been returned in favour of Mr. Porteous, that gentleman was considered duly elected as the re presentative of St. David's. The subject of the riot has been very seriously taken up by the Jamaica press, and the clique party de nounced as the authors and instigators of the bloody scene at Easington. Indeed it would appear from the various articles on this subject that many of that party are implicated in this affair, and that they will be placed in very unenviable positions. An inquest was held the next day on the body of Mr. MSLean, and a verdict of wilful murder returned against three men, who wore in custody, and would be tried at the xt cssize court. His Excellency Sir Charles Grey had appointed a special commission to in vestigate into the affair, and had also dispa•ched a small military force to the scene of riot. Things, how ever, had resumed their wonted calmness, and there ap peared no cause to suppose that a similar affair will again take place. The Legislature had re-assembled for the discharge of business on the 11th of February. No business of consequence was disposed of up to the time of the steamer's departure. The Governor's Salary Bill was to be considered in a fortnight. The cholera bad left most parishes in the island, but had re-appeared in one or two. It raged to a somewhat alarining extent in Hanover. JAMAICA MARKETS. (From Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) General Remarks—The remarks in our lust, on the market, for cod fish, have been fully borne out by the results of the last fortnight's transactions—the price of the article has fallen to 10s. per 100 lbs. fOr best cask, and 14s. per box—and even at these rates sales are ;side difficulty effected. In one instance, 93. fir catk and 13:4. per box was accepted for a cargo of rather interior quality. The stock is still considerably in excess of the demand; while the sales by auction of unsound parcels interfere to a great degree with the legitimate business. We have to notice a further decline in the ♦alue of flour and meal, consequent on the heavy stocks on hand, and the very trifling demand from the trade. Both these articles also suffer from the abundance of native vegetables. Exehungea—On New York: Merchants' bills 60 days, 21 par cent. prem. On London: Colonial Bank, 90 days, 4 per cent. prem.; ditto, 60 days, 1 per cent. prem.; ditto, 30 days, 11 per cent. prem.; Jamaica Bank, 90 days, 1 per cent. prem.; ditto, 60 days, 1 per cent. prem.; ditto, 30 days, 1/ per cent.

MEXICO. -- - The conducta, with specie for Tampico, expected down there the letter end of January, had not arrived when the Great Western called off that port, 4th February last, owing to a alight disturbance in the in interior, but then all was quiet, and it was expected that the specie by the conducta would reach Tampico and be ready to be shipped by the time that packet returned off the bar the beginning of March. The conducts for Vera Cruz arrived at that city on the 6th February, and all the specie for the Mexican dividends and on merchants' account for England was abipp3d by the Great Western. Stations of her Majesty's ships—Feb. 14, at Trinidad, her Majesty's steamer Wellesley, 72, Captain G. Gold smith, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., and Sappho. 12, Commander Hon. A. A. Cochrane. Feb. 14, at Port Royal, Imanm, 72, Commodore Thomas Bennett; Persian, 12, Commander A. G. Bulmen; Alban steamer, Lieutenant Crawford, and Plumper, Commander M. S. Nolloth, refitting to proceed to join the Brazilian station. Feb. 18, at Porto Rico, Helena, 16, Commander Michael de Courcey. Feb. 3, at Grey Town, the Bermuda, Lieut. and Com mander J. D. Joley. The Alarm, cruising off St. Domingo. The Inflexible left Port Royal 13th February, with the 2d West India Regiment on board for Demerara, to call at Barbadoes. All the squadron quite well. Stations of the Company's steam-ships;—The Great Western, Captain Wolfe, at St. Thomas's, for Vera Cruz, waiting the packet from England; the Avon, Capt. Hast, left England with the mails of the 17th January, and, after encountering adverse winds to the 27th of that month, put into Fayal for coals, and from that island arrived at St. Thomas's on the Bth February being five days after the time she was due, with the mails at that island; the Conway, Capt. Wooley, on the Ja maica and Havannah route; the Eagle, Capt. White, on the Demerara route; the Derwent, Capt. Onslow, at St. Thomas's, on the Barbadoes and Demerara route. THE BRAZILS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.—The ship Columbus arrived to-day with accounts from Pernambuco of the 6th of February. The Royal mail steamer Teviot arrived at Pernam buco at 6 o'clock A.m. on the 2d ult., in twenty-three days from Southampton, and left the same day at noon, for Bahia. The Teviot accounts had little influence on the markets. Cotton and sugar would probably decline a little. The latter article had been purchased extensively pre vious to the receipt of the steamer's accounts. Cotton sold during tho week ending February the Ist at 7,300 reis to 7,400 reis, but 7,500 reis had since been paid. Hides were freely offered at 127 reis. Freights had an upward tendency, vessels having be come less plentiful. Cotton to Liverpool was taken at id. to id. and sugar to the United Kingdom 555. to 609. In exchange busi ness to a large amount had been done at 3ud., and in some instances 30,1 d. had been given for ready cash. DEATH OF SIR S TEPHEN V . CHAPMAN, C. 8., K.C.H. THE ARMY. --We have to record the demise of Lieut.-General Sir Stephen V. Chapman, C. 8., and K.C.H., one of the colonels commandant of the corps of Royal Engineers. Ho died on the 6th instant, at his seat near Taunton, aged 76. The deceased saw some rough service. He first entered the Engineers as Second Lieutenant in 1794, and served throughout the war in Spain and Por tugal. In 1846 he became a Lieutenant-General. The deceased received a medal for his services at Busaco, and also the new war medal. He was for many years the Governor Commander-in-Chief and Vice-Admiral at Bermuda. Sir Stephen held the office of secretary to the Earl of Mulgrave, who was Master-General of the Ordnance during the more eventful periods of the late war. He was a member of an old Somersetshirc family. The 13th, Prince Albert's Light Infantry, has received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark at Queenstown for Gibraltar; the 74th, intended for that garrison, having been ordered to the Cape with her Majesty's screw-ship Vulcan. The screw mail steam-packet Bosphorus not having arrived at the Cape, it is thought that she was sent by Sir Harry Smith to the Mauritius for the reserve batta lion of the 12th Regiment, 450 rank and file, to reit-- force the troops on the frontier, instead of coming home as intended on the ill-advised reduction scheme of Lord Grey. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The commander in chief, Admiral the Hon. Sir T. Bladen Cape], returned to Portsmouth, from short leave, on Friday evening, and his flag was rohoisted on board ,he Victory. Commander Bruce, the newly-appointed commander in chief on the coast of Africa, has nominated Mr. W. C. Bonham (1843), first of the Alarm, 26, West Indies, to be his flag lieutenant. Commander George Reynolds died on Thursday last, at Chichester, in the 86th year of his age. He entered the navy in 1781, as ordinary; served in the Froth 62, 54, in Rodney's action. He was master's mate of the Pandora, 24, Captain Edwards, when, having been sent to the Pacific in search of the mutineers of the Bounty, she was wrecked on her passage home in Torres Straits, August, 1791. On this occasion thirty-five of the crew were drowned, and the remainder, ninety-nine, were saved by proceeding in open boats to Timor, a Dutch s€ttlement 1,100 miles distant, each having only two ounces of biscuit and two wine glasses of water per diem to subsist upon. He was made a lieutenant in 1794, and as first of the Vengeance, 74, served at the capture of St. Lucia and Trinidad, and at the unsuccessful attack at Puerto Rico. Subsequently, for several years, he served afloat as first lieutenant; and from 1807 to 1814 had charge of a signal station at West Wittering, near Chichester. He accepted his retired rank under the Order in Council of 1816, in March, 1831. Lieut. Henry Wright (1832) died on the Ist instant, near Carmarthen. THE SHELL EXPERIMENTS. The trial of shells proceeded on Saturday on board the Excellent, under the inspection of the committee. About twenty of Mr. Moore'a concussion shells were tried at the distant range at the Topaz. Two or three of thorn burst prematurely—the others were good. Mr. Moore's shells will be proceeded with this day. THE Loss OF THE FLAMER, STEAM•VESSEL.—A pre liminary inquiry took place at the Royal Naval College, before Captain enacts, C. 8., and the Judge Advocate, M. Greetham, Esq., on the officers and crew of the Flamer, for the loss of that vessel. The persons were not examined on oath, and the evidence was not given in public. We hope that this inquiry will supersede the necissity of a court-martial. The Flamer went on shore " according to the Act of Parliament;" the officers and men were all at their stations; the look-out men were placed, and the " blue pigeon was flying," and further, we understand the commander is a steady, correct, and excellent officer. A HAPPY MAN-OF-WAR.—The Powerful, 84, Capt. the Hon. R. S. nuncios, was paid off on Saturday, along side Portsmouth Dockyard, in a most orderly and quiet manner. We are very glad to see that the system of dismantling and paying off ships alongside the yard seems now to be generally adopted. By this plan the seamen are kept sober; they leave the yard as they are paid, and they have every chance of steering clear of the laud-sharks, who always make a market of those sea men who are paid off half-sea's over. The Powerful was in excellent order; she has been a most comfortable ship for both officers and men, and in the Mediterranean she was known as " The Happy Ship." She has been die masted and entirely cleared out before paying off. Seventy or eighty of her crew have put their names down for the Prince Regent. The Sprightly steamer, Master-Commander Allen, sailed for Plymouth on Sa turday night, taking down about ;100 seamen belonging to that port, paid off from the Powerful. Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour's baggage was taken to the Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, at Spit head, by the Echo, steam-tug, on Saturday. Boscawen, 70, aptain Richards, C. 8., is progressing in fitting for the ordinary guard-ship, at Chatham, and will be completed in May next. Bonetta 3. brigantine, Lieut.-Commander C. Wake, was towe d to Sheerness on Friday, by the Adder, steam vessel. After her compasses have been adjusted, she will proceed to Plymouth, at which port the advance money will be paid, prior to her proceeding to her station at Brazils. Magicienne, 16, steam-sloop, at Devonport, having been ordered by the Admiralty for another trial to test her sailing qualities, Mr. Brown, second master at tendant, has been entrusted with the command, and she was to sail on Saturday morning, with a party of extra riggers and engineers from the dockyard. She has been brought to the draft of water of—fare, 15 feet 7 inches; aft, 16 feet 7 inches. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Fairy Royal yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., embarked the Queen and Court from the Royal Clarence-yard, Gosport, yesterday noon, and conveyed them, under the uival salutes, to Cowes, where the royal equipages were in waiting to convey them to Osborne. The Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, was put in commis sion at this port yesterday afternoon by Captain Henry Lyster for the first class broad pendant of Commodore Bruce, to succeed Commodore Fanshawe in the com mand in chief en the coast of Africa. The Penelope s complement is to be 300 men and officers. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander.llarvey, was paid off yesterday at Devonport . Her sea men a n d marines be longing to this port were brought here this morn ing by the steam-tender Avon, which returned to Devonport this afternoon. The Pyrenees hired convict -ship arrived at Spithead this morning fret" the Thames to embark transports for the penal settlements. In pursuance of an Admiralty order, Captain H. D. Chub, C. 8,, of her Majesty's ship Excellent, and Mr. G. L. Greetham, Deputy Judge-Advocate of the Fleet, assembled on Fridey at the official residence of Captain Cbads (the Ito 3 al Naval College) to receive the deposi- ' tions of Commander St. Lager, the other officers, and ship's company ( f the late Flamer steam-vessel, lost on the coast of Africa, preliminary, wo belibve, to a court martial being bald. Commander Edmund A. Glynn and Lieutenant E. Marshall are appointed to the Penelope. :APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, MARCH B. Lieutenan ts.—Charles T. LEckie (1845), Frederick D.

THE PRELATES AND THE PENAL Li/73. DUBLIN, SATURBAI,—The Freeman of this morning cont3ins the addr ess to t h e Q ueen s y. opte i by the Irish Roman Catholic hierarchy at the late meeting, in I'ublin, together with Sir George Grey's answer, communicated through Archbishop Murray. The reply of the Ilan" Secretary is, of course, bric-f and formai ; btit the addi tion of the word " graciously," though of trifling Im port, seems to be regarded as signiticsut of "some thing." 'v A cy of the documents i s aanexe d , an d i t will be observed that even " John Archbishop of Tusm" has come off his stilts, eschewed the territorial title, and is fain to content to write himself down plain " John "TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN. " May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the undersigned Archbishops and Bishops of the Romaa Catholic Church in Ireland, presume to approach your Majesty with the humble as surance of our profound homage, and of our fervent and unalterable attachment to your Majesty's person and throne. _ _ " Loyalty to the Sovereign whom Providence has placcd over us is a duty which the clearest dictates of our religion prescribe. It is a duty which the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland have not failed to inculcate at all times and under the most adverse circumstances, with all the energy of Christian zeal. It is a duty, may it please your Majesty, the sanctity of which was pro claimed aloud through the enthusiastic outpourings of the Irish heart when our present most gracious Sove reign vouchsafed to visit our shores. " With ineffable pain we have learnt that an internal change lately made in England by the Sovereign Pontiff in the spiritual organization of tha Church to wbioh we belong—a change which we believe to be in perfect accordance with every duty which the purest feelings of loyalty would demand—has been represented as an infringement of your Majesty's Royal supremacy. We beg most humbly to assure your Majesty that we utterly condemn any attempt to assail the authority of your Majesty as our supreme temporal authority. The Roman Catholics of these realms owe, and with the deepest sincerity of their hearts cheerfully profess, supreme and undivided allegiance to your Ma jesty in all temporal matters; and yet, because we can not violate our conscience by giving to your Majesty in spiritual matters that which belongs, as we believe, solely to God, the project of a law has been laid before Parlia ment, the declared object of which is to suppress our hierarchy, and which, with that view, is framed so as to render in the highest degree penal the observance of our ecclesiastical discipline, as well as to confiscate our charitable funds. Such a law we beg most respectfully to assure your Majesty would grievously oppress your Majesty's most faithful and loyal subjects, the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom, and would be utterly subversive of those principles of religious liberty which your Majesty vouchsafed to proclaim from the Throne, principles which descended to your Majesty as a precious inheritance from your illustrious father, which grew up with your Majesty, and were strengthened in your Royal bosom by the deliberate judgment of an enlightened mind, and the kindly sensibilities of a heart which pants for the happiness of all your subjects. "To that gracious and benevolent heart the under signed appeal with confidence against the grievous and undeserved calamity threatened by the projected penal law, and they implore your Majesty, the guardian under Heaven of the happiness of every portion of this great empire, to secure to them and to all your Majesty's faithful Roman Catholic subjects, what is denied to no other class of their fellow-Christians, the peaceful exer cise of their religious worship according to the known discipline of their Church. " And may your Majesty's reign be long and glorious over every section of an united, happy, and grateful people. " t Paul Cullen. " f Nicholas Foran. " t D. Murray. " t Francis Haly. " t M. Slattery.

Tile following is the letter addressed by Archbishop Murray to the Home Secretary when forwarding the fore going address:— "TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, G.C.8., &C. " Sir,—ln conformity with the wishes of a general meeting of the archbishops and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, I have the honour to for ward to you the accompanying humble address, in the hope that you will have the great goodness to lay it before her Most Gracious Majesty the Queea. I have the honour to remain, with profound respect, Sir, your most obedient servant, " kl D. MURRAY. Mountjoysquare, Dublin, March 1." REPLY OF SIR G. GREY. " Whitehall, March 6. "My Lord,—l have had the honour to lay before the Queen the address of the archbishops and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, which accompanied your Grace's letter of the Ist inst., and I am to inform you that the address was graciously received by her Ma jesty. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your obedient servant, " G. GREY. " The Most Rev. Archbishop Daniel Murray, Mountjoy-square, Dublin." MR. JOHN O'COIiNELL AND THE ELECTORS OF RlCK.—Every man's hand now appears to be raised against Mr. John O'Connell, who, not more than six years ago, had been hailed by the repealers as " the young and rising hope of Ireland." A special meeting of the corporation of Limerick was held on Thursday, to take into consideration the conduct of Mr. O'Connell, in having absented himself from his seat in Parliament upon the introduction of the Papal Aggression Bill. After a vehement and protracted discussion, a resolu tion condemnatory of the conduct of Mr. O'Connell was passed by a majority of 18 to 11; and a second resolu tion was then adopted, calling on the Ron. Gentleman to resign his seat for the city of Limerick. Amongst the majority were several who had ;been the warmtst adherents of Mr. O'Connell, and subscribers to the fund recently collected to defray his expenses whilst attending in Parliament. A letter appears this morning, addressed to Mr. John O'Connell by Mr. J. Kenny, the Mayer of Clonmel, de claring that it would be hypocrisy to bide the fact that his "recent indecision on Disraeli's motion has, and will ever, stamp him as an unfit Man to lead in any po pular measure. Your excuse (the mayor adds) for non attendance upon the division, which would and ought for ever shut out from power that traitor to public honour, Lord John Russell, proves you, your brother, and cousin, unworthy of the confidence of the Irish people." Mr. John O'Brien, the colleague of Mr. O'Connell in the representation of Limerica, who had also been abs.nt from the division ou Mr. Disraoii's motion, ow- in to the dangerous illness of a member of his family, has so far escaped a vote of censure. Mr. O'Brien, in a letter to his constituents, declares it to be " the para mount obligation of a Catholic member to extend . the duty of resistance to a general opposition to any Min's try, no matter how constituted, identified wit h the prin ciple of religious intolerance." CARRIAGE IMPROVEMBETS.—In these times of im provement, when every artificer and mechanist is taxing his ingenuity to produce something new, to hold a place in the forthcoming Exhibition, carriage builders do not in the least appear to be behind hand. There is now exhibiting in the factory of Messrs. W. and C. Middleton, Long- acre, a light and elegant carriage, fitted with a centripetal wheel-plate. By means of this new and important invention, the front wheels are made to lock under the body in turning a corner in a much shorter space than usual. Two advantages are thus offered; one is, that the hind and front wheels are brought ten inches closer together than usual, thereby con siderably lessening the draught, by means of a groove in the wheel-plate which allows the perch-bolt to slide that much forward, carrying the wheels along with it independently of the body, instead of remaining stationary while on the lock. unfortunately rni::vrescv Iy agle 14' wrecked a T u h y e th o i t n h a er i t s ha t t h h at as it y l e o t ct e s e i n n ainmvuenctheds,horter compass than deration in turning a narrow road; but alathvoerlghgrtehaetpc:rilcshi-- bolt is allowed to slide in this manner, central position under the body, for which reason alone it it always retains its entirely supersedes every other contrivance that has yet been produced, while the movemen ways . app . ears perfectly smooth and easy.

A small life-boat at Broad stairs, manned by • i eight gallant fellows, at length succeeded in pull ng under her stern, the sea breaking te r the brig, and the life-b oa t b e i ng constantly full of water. The brig's crewwere so benumed that they could not thro w a ro p e ; however, two of the life-boat men having life-belts got on hoard and assisted the mate and six of the crow in getting into the boat from the end of the boom. The lite-boat, a heavy sea breaking her adrift from a rcpe she was hanging on by to the brig, got upon the sand. Two of the boatmen left on b )ard of the brig then jump ed upon the sand and got footing. The Buffalo Gal had by this time gut on the other side of the sand and succeeded in getting the whole party on board with the exception of Captain' White, a man, and a boy, who, notwitstanding the most strenuous endeavours, it was found impossible to save. Tne lugger, with the life• boat in tow, then proceeded to Ramsgate. NARROW EscArE.—The White hey, ono of the Deptford-yard victualling lighters, when attached by a long cable to one of the mooring buoys opposite Woolwich Dock yard on the evening of Friday last, had the cable cut by one of the Woolwich steamers, and the wind blowing strong from &rung from the north-west drifted the vessel to the incline in front of the Mast-house. On the tide receding the vessel fell over, throwing into the river seven of the men who were on board. Fortunately assistance was promptly obtained, and by the aid of the life buoys and other means the whole of the per sons immersed were saved, but several of them were sick for a long time after owing to the quantity of water they had swallowed. The lighter was got up without having sustained much damage.
