He ultimately, however, at the sugges tion of several Hon. Members, withdrew his amendment. Mr. MOFFATT moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. He did not consider the measure likely to remedy the abuses of the present system. Sir B. HALL and Mr. W. WILLIAMS both denounced the Bill as creating a gigantic monopoly. Sir G. GREY hoped the Bill would be suffored to pro ceed to a second reading. If it were read a ,second time he should propose that the Bill be referred tc, the Com mittee of Selection to be dealt withjudicially. The second reading was opposed by Mr. MOWATT, Viscount EBRINGTON, Mr. WAKLEY, and Sir D. L. EVANS, and supported by Sir W. CLAY. On a division the numbers were — For the second reading Against it Majority in favour -16 Mr. T. BARING moved a resolution, " Thnt it is th e opinion of this House that the directions of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to the officers of the Excise, signified by orders of the 6th and 25th That no objection h e ma d e on the revenue to dealers in an d se ll ers of A th u e g p u a s t r , t 1 0 8 f-to t , npay, coffee mixing chicory with coffee,' are opposed to the Excise regulations in force regarding other articles of consumption, have encouraged very much the practice of fraud, and ought therefore to be revoked." Sir J. TROLLOPE, as the representative of the chicory growers in Lincolnshire, opposed the motion. Lord HARRY VANE said the motion would not inter fere with the interests of the chicory growers. All it required was, that chicory should be sold by its right name. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER praised the wholesomeness of chicory and the mixed beverage. All that was done by the Treasury order was not to sane tion at fraud on the public, b ut t o exempt t h e d ea l er from th e Excise penalty to which he would otherwise be liable. Mr. STANLEY contended that the same principle should be applied to coffee that was applied to tea and tobacco. Colonel Tuoupsori said the difference in price be ween the ground and the unground coffee sufficiently pointed out the adulteration of the former. Sir J. TYRELL was a grower of chicory, and should therefore most certainly on this occasion support the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Mr. WARLEY said that the continued use of chicory was most deleterious, and occasioned a variety of dis eases. The conduct of the Government was an encou ragement to the disreputable and an annoyance to the honest dealer. He should support the motion. After some further discussion the House divided,when ,here appeared— conceive how any persons who have read those con vincing articles should hesitate as to the necessity of some immediate steps being taken to abate the nuisance. Our sagacious Minister of Finance has, however, a peculiar obliquity of vision in such matters; he has taken the frau dulent dealers under his especial protection, and will not suffer any interference with their innocent pursuits. In his view, the public should submit to be shorn without complaint. Accordingly, he resisted to the uttermost the motion of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Huntingdon for the re consideration of the Treasury minute of August, 1840, and, we regret to say, succeeded by a majority of five in his opposition thereto. The community in general and the fair traders must, therefore, submit to the grievance until next session, but there can be but little doubt that the voice of public opinion will be heard in the interim, and that the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for 1851 (whoever he may be) must make up his mind to yield to the pres sure from without, and to restrain those who claim the liberty of defrauding their neighbours and cus tomers by the sale of deleterious and inferior articles.

Apparently the slender majority of sixteen by , which the Metropolitan 'Water Supply Bill was en abled to pass a second reading yesterday, is a matter for very general satisfaction. In reality, how ever, we regret to find reasons for designating this seeming advantage a circumstance more strictly pro vocative of regrets than of gratulations. A refer ence to the arguments employed last evening by almost every Member who took part in the discus sion will afford some notion of the considerations which have reluctantly brought us, in common with so many other observers, to this most unsatisfactory conclusion. Like the Hon. Gentleman the Representative of Penryn, we felt predisposed to accord in the first instance every encouragement to a measure of this character, introduced to the notice of the Legislature under the auspices of her MA. JESTY'S Government. A cursory inquiry, neverthe. less, into the precise tendency of the scheme brought forward by the Administration was more than suffi cient to dissipate our enthusiasm, transforming it in deed into a very earnest anxiety to witness its rejec tion. Unfortunately our wishes in this respect have not as yet been realized. Two stages have been passed through, certainly with some little difficulty, but still they have been passed through in spite of every opposition. Very shortly, therefore, the Commons will have to scruti nize the measure more closely, clause by clause, in Committee. Then, at any rate, we are sanguine that the evil of the proposed alteration will be so pecu liarly perceptible to the majority, that the commu nity may be in no fear of being afflicted by its ac ceptance. As the Honourable Member for Lambeth facetiously, and, at the same time, correctly remarked, the measure, instead of being called, as it is, " A Bill for the better Supplying of Water to the Metropolis," should with more justice have been designated " A Bill for the purpose of establishing a huge job, to perpetuate a deficient supply of impure water to the metropolis, under the patronage of her MAJESTY'S Government." Literally, to all intents and pur poses, that is the actual meaning of the project un dertaken by the Ministry, with a view to compact into one gigantic monopoly the various companies now existing, to the end that we may have what may be termed the same faulty system as ever of metropolitan irrigation. Hitherto, even with the benefits of a certain degree of competition, the public generally speaking in London and West minster have had to slake their thirst at streams ren dered loathsome, if not absolutely poisonous, by every imaginable pollution. And yet this very insufficient protection of competition the Cabinet would now de liberately deprive us of, under the pretext of furnish ing the capital with larger quantities of water, more pure and salubrious, than have hitherto been con veyed . to • the dwellings of the mass of the population. Against these specious pretences almost every Member who has yet spoken upon the subject in the House of Commons has most strongly and energetically protested. Yesterday, especially, the Government scheme may be said to have found a supporter only in the Honourable Baronet the Mem ber for the Tower Hamlets. Even his approbation, however, of the measure, is inadequate as an assur ance of its innocuous, not to say its beneficial character. It would be erroneous to imagine fur an instant that by rejecting the Bill now alluded, to the Com mons would in any way be procrastinating the reform so long and earnestly demanded. On the contrary, we are satisfied that by at once throwing out the measure the metropolitan representatives would be in the most effectual and satisfactory man ner promoting the interest of the inhabitants of the capital, and forwarding their hopes to a realization. Let the proposals suggested by the Administration be carried into effect, and this section of the already complicated question of sanitary reform will be sur rounded more than ever by difficulties, many of which would prove for a considerable period insurmountable. It is, therefore, with no ordinary emphasis that we call upon the mass of the metropolitan representatives to strain their energies to the very uttermost in endea vouring to throw out the Bill in Committee. Unless they effect this betimes, they will find labours of a yet more arduous kind devolving upon them later on, labours forced upon them yet more strongly by an accumulation of responsibilities.

We would gladly see it abolished root and branch, so that no vestige might remain of the monster nuisance that has so long paralysed the energies of the people, and obstructed—if it did not prohibit—improvements of every description. It possessed, however, some redeeming features. Although the beneficial regu lations bore an infinitesimal proportion to those of an opposite character, and were overwhelmed by the mass of evil by which they were surrounded, they yet accomplished some good for the community. These rules were framed fur the purpose of pro. tecting the revenue ; but they had the effect of pro tecting the public, also, from frauds of a very serious description. In order to insure the collection of the full duty on each article, measures were introduced prohibiting with the utmost severity any adulteration or fraudulent admixture. Not only was the actual adulteration of the article subjected to stringent pe nalties, but even the possession, by licensed dealers, of matters that might be used for the purpose, was made a grave offence. The ordinary rules of law were deliberately set aside, and every presumption made against the accused, so that it was almost impossible to obtain an,,acquittal if there was even a possibility of guilt. The enormous duties imposed under our fiscal code, quadrupling, or in many instances more than quadrupling the prices, and thus exposing the dealera to almost irresistible temptations, these penal, and in some respects highly vexatious enactments were framed, as we have already stated, for the purpose of protecting the revenue, but they had also the effect of protecting the fair dealer from being under sold by fraudulent competitors, and the public from being injured by deleterious compounds, and also to a certain extent afforded security that th e purchaser obtained the article for which he contracted and which he believed he was buying. It would almost appear, however, as if the Lords of the Treasury were anxious to increase the public disgust to the utmost degree by removing the only defensible regulations, so as to leave the evils of the system without mitigation. Under the encien regime it was considered essential to guard against any aduls teration of coffee, which, as an article of general con sumption, heavily taxed, might otherwise be mixed with various ingredients of an inferior kind. At first the sale or even possession of matters such as roasted corn, peas, beans, parsnips, &c.,,that might be mixed with, or used as substitutes for coffee, were prohibited under very heavy penalties. After a time persons not being dealers were permitted to take out a licence for the sale of such articles under their real names, it being very properly considered, that if the people chose to use such decoctions with their eyes open—they not being absolutely injurious to health—they should be permitted to do so. Every precaution was, however, still taken to prevent imposition or deception. About twenty years since chicory, which had for some time previously been used on the continent along with coffee, was introduced into this country, and there is no doubt that the inferior descriptions of coffee were improved by the addition of a small por tion of pure chicory. The Excise Commissioners, however, wholly disregarded the public interest. The salubrity or agreeability of the mixture was a matter of the most perfect indifference ; their only object was to extract the largest possible amount from the pockets of the people. Prosecutions were accordingly instituted against many coffee dealers for having chicory in their possession ; but these were stopped by a Treasury minute, in August, 1832, declaring " that the sale of chicory powder UNMIXED should not be interfered with," but that the sellers of coffee should be informed that " they must abide the consequences, if they should continue to sell coffee mixed with any other ingredient, contrary to law." This was a wise and judicious course. Those who preferred the admix ture of chicory might obtain it, and choose their own proportions. They could also have the compound at a much cheaper rate than if they purchased it under the name of "coffee," and they had some security that the separate ingredients, viz., the coffee and the chicory, were each what they purported to be, as any adulte ration might still be severely punished, and things should be sold by their right names. Nothing could have worked better than this regulation during the eight years it was permitted to remain in operation. But August, 1840, sa w anot h er alte ration---" My Lords not considering that any measures should be enforced to prevent the sale of coffee mixed with chic ory," and it being accordingly ordered, that " no objections be made on the part of the revenue to dealers in an d coffee, or to their having seller of coffee, mixing chicory with the same mixed on their 1 impossible to calculate the extent of the mis chiefpriemt i i s ses.'' this carried unwise regulation. The matter of f ied on to such an occasioned by adulteration of coffee was ex tent that it became a the greatest difficulty to obtain coffee in a pure state, unless it w chased in the berry. Many respectable dealer a. s s pwuhro refused to lend themselves to the f rauds that were practised bythedirriuvennscorauptuolfousth:imvaalrsket ; f or b ut a , found them selves s almast proportion of the community had the wisdom to know that they could not obtain really good arti cles at the ridiculously low it waspricesw that were their w erefla vv u h n i t l - e ingly put forward, or that to support tradesmen of high character with and smaller m n a b l l le e ; wished int e grity,who were really satisfied profits than their competitors. The natural result followed : the parties were not satisfied with the t c l i c h h u e r a u p:r pea su s, bstitute profit derivable from the mixture of pure chicory ; beans, TAIS 1" dog da variety p biscuits, could be found, and accordingly were dealer than theowo-fdeorethdereaarrtthi,e articles s maged introduced, much more to the profit of the dishonest pleasure of the consumer.

ADMISSION—ONE SHILLING. Exhibition nights—Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Priday, it behoves them to strive forthwith to reject at this early period what they mast by necessity reject fur ther on, or, after a lamentable evidence of its injurious character, have rather ignominiously to recall as an act of ill-timed and ill-considered legislation. Lord ERRINGTON himself acknowledged last even ing that it would have been better for the interests of the metropolis if the Government had made more sedulous inquiries into the evils complained of before adventuring upon their treatment. Lord EBRINGTON, be it remembered, was the one to make this avowal, and Lord EBRINGTON is qualified surely to pronounce an opinion upon the subject by his long continuance at the head of the Sanitary Commission. Curiously enough all parties seem to coincide in op posing the water supply project, as it has been laid before Parliament by her MAJESTY'S Government. The companies are dissatisfied with it, the public generally are dissatisfied with it, the Sanitary Commissioners are dissatisfied with it, every where the measure meets with a stern and uncompromising opposition. Nevertheless, it has hitherto progressed in defiance of all this, having passed, not without difficulty, through the two first readings. We anticipate, however, with some soli citude, and not altogether without confidence, its tardy but still decided rejection when it comes be fore the Commons in Committee.

The minutes of previous meetings of the Governors, authorising the above desirable step, having been read, The CHAIRMAN read a ascription of the proposed new building, drawn up by ME Herbert Williams, of Great Ormond-street, London, the architect, from which it appeared that it is proposed to remove the present fever wards, and to clear away so much of the embankment at the back of the ground as will admit of a considerable free space round the new building on a level with the basement or kitchen floor of the main buildings. The character of the building, both externally and internally, will correspond with the old build ing. The report then goes on to describe the approaches, and the appropriation of the several stories, and various other minor matters in detail. The plan was spoken of in high terms of commendation by the Governors, and resolu tions to carry the same into effect were unanimously passed. - - - sb oe :L i I t , c E: Ai s U t Th R t N E . their_O 1"( sevenT r i n u sE illustrious COUßT DAY.)_ Her TO children, Majesty TOWN a naFdnßdos Prince accompaniedW N A D l : by their Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg and Duke Ernest of Wurtemberg, and attended by the C ountess of Ch ar l emont, Lord Dufferin, the Hon.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE SHARE MARKETS We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The gauntlet thrown down by the PRESIDENT to the Assembly has been taken up by General CHAN GARNIER. In the course of the discussion on Tues day, on the Republican Guard, CHANGARNIER made the following pointed allusions to recent events. He said— "Aceording to the assertions of certain persons, the army is ready in its enthusiasm to act against the laws of the country and to change the form of government. In the first place, and to show that such cannot be the case, it is sufficient for me to ask where is there any mo tive for such enthusiasm? —(Laughter on the Left.) I may add that the army, profoundly penetrated with the sentiment of its duty, with the feeling of what is due to its own dignity, desires no more than you to inflict on France the wretchedness and shame of the government of the Caesars, when emperors were successively raised to power or hurled to the earth b y drunken Praetorian Guards.—(Great agitation.) Discipline is deeply rooted in the French army. The soldiers will always hear the voice of their chiefs; but no one will over induce the soldiers to march against the Right —against the As sembly; not a single battalion could be induced to follow for such a purpose, whoever might be the officers whom they are accustomed to obey. Consequently, represen tatives of France, deliberate in pence!—(Agitation.)" The members of the different Bourbonists factions are loud in their praises of this outbreak of CHAN GARNIER. M. LEON FA.UCHER has, how ever , com pletely lost their confidence, because he did not re sign immediately after the PRESIDENT'S speech at Dijon. On Wednesday the Assembly commenced its sit ting by proceeding to ballot for the election of e votersf ol followin g s the result : 611 ••• ••• ••• 306 majority Q u e Absolute o ub r sm s o . bl ue tre T o h f M.

BAZE and General LEFLO, having obtained the required majority, were declared to be duly elected. Both M. BAZE and General LEFLO are distin guished for their bitter hostility to the Elysee. On a second ballot M. DE PANAT was re-elected third Questor. " Two days ago," says the Droit, " the com mander of the fort of Vincennes received by post a letter from the Intendant of the First. Military Di vision, ordering him to send fifty thousand ball car tridges to the Palace of the Elys6e. This order greatly surprised the commander, as he could not understand what could require it ; and he was more surprised that it should have been sent by post, in stead of by an orderly. But after closely examining the signature and the seal, he could not doubt that it was really sent from the bureau of the Intend ance. Before executing it, however, he went to the Intendant, and showed him it. That func• tionary also recognised the signature and seal as his ; but he declared that he had not given the order, and that it must have been obtained by fraud. An investigation into the affair has been com menced." M. LARABIT on Wednesday presented the fol lowing proposition to the National Assembly : " Ist. That the Assembly shall express a wish for the revision of Article 45 of the Constitution as far as re gards the re-eligibility of the President of the Republic. 2. That such revision shall not be deferred to a new Constituent Assembly, but be referred to the sovereignty of the French people, called to freely vote at the election of the President of the Republic. 3.

The Algiers journals of the 29. th ult. contain ac counts of some new affairs between the French army of expedition in Lesser Kabylia and the Kabyles, but they are of very small importance as compared with those up to the 21st ult., and cif which full details have been published. In the last affairs, which were perfectly successful against the enemy, the French had only one killed and fourteen wounded. The Museum of the Louvre, which had been for some time closed in order to afford an opportunity for the execution of some necessary repairs, was yes terday opened with great ceremony by the PRESIDENT of the Republic. About 12 o'clock on Tuesday last a dreadful hur ricane fell in the department of the Cote d'Or, be tween Dijon and Chagny. The whole of that highly cultivated district was covered with hail in the twink ling of an eye. Torrents of rain fell towards 3 o'clock, and caused such floods that a portion of the Paris and Lyons Railroad was damaged. to the extent of some leagues. The gravel was carried off the road, the sleepers were laid bare, and two trains, one from Paris and the other from Chalons, experienced a serious delay.

The Silesian Gazette gives the following report of the conferences of Warsaw : " The principal object of the interview, esti far as it ap plied to politics, appears to have had no other object than of agreeing upon the ultimate steps to be taken in re gard to the approaching crisis in France, for it is not doubted that such will boxier or later break , out. It was therefore most important to be agreed upon this eventu ality. There was no intention of making any stipula tions on this head, nor of concluding any ;kind of coali tion treaty, nor was there any question of intervention, which in fact would only be detrimental to the Conser vative interest, resulting from the natural development of the crisis in France ; but it was deemed. advisable to be perfectly agreed upon the general definiti ye points of view, in regard to this crisis. It is stated tt at the high parties were perfectly of accord, and that no serious diffi culty will be found in acting in common. "As to the affairs of Germany it has bean decided to renew the union between Austria and Prussia in all that relates to the German Confedersition, for the purpose of maintainin g this union intact. Other ques tions which could not be settled at Warsaw are still kept in reserve." Railways. Paid, Aberdeen.. .. Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston, & E.

About fifty years since a quarrel broke out between the G ree k s an d t h e Armen i ans , on th e subject of the Holy Sepulchre. A commission, fthlrmed of 3 Ulemas, 2 Greek, and 2 Armenian bishops, terminated the quarrel, by deciding that it belonged to tl to Greeks. There were then at Constantinople a French Ambassa dor, Catholic bishops, and a legate of the Poi to, but no objection was made by them. 2. Some years a ince, after the burning of the Temple, the Greeks and Re ssia made collections for its reconstruction. It was dons and no Catholic power protested or pretended that tl to Greeks had built on ground which did not belong to them. 3. France pretends that tbe Holy Sepulchre was ti iken from the Turks by the Crusaders and incorporated b 'y treaties with Catholic Christianity.

The market was at previous rates.—Railway Shares were firm and steady at improved prices. For most articles of consumption the demand this week has been moderate, and the supply being large, prices have ruled in favour of buyers. It may be affirmed, indeed, that for the last three weeks, dulness has been the characteristic, owing to importers having supplied the markets freely. Business, however, must be considered to be in a healthy state, dull as is specu lation, and stocks are kept down to a low point among the dealers. The value of dyes and dyeing materials has, of late, been depressed. Respecting the Tallow trade, Messrs. Gull and Wilson report, that seldom has a season dawned with more im portant interests at stoke, and more open contracts to be settled. Both in this market and in St. Petersburgh there have already been sold (oversold) more than the whole supply of New Y.C. that the St. Petersburgh market can send us this season. The arrangement of these contracts is. therefore, an object of much interest to the trade in general. The prospective supply of Tal low for the year is much short of the supply of many past years; and although the stock in London is larger by 10,718 casks than the stock of 1850, yet the actual stock, of foreign in the United Kingdom is much less than at this date last year. Our supplies for the past twelve months have much increased from Australia; and it is important to observe, that by the accounts recently received there is reason to believe that the supplies from thence will, for the next Biz or eight months, fall con siderably short of last year. Another important item is the difference in the supply, stock, and price of Lard, as compared with this time last year. The chief item in this calculation is the make of Home Tallow. This, it must be admitted, is large—quite equal to, if not ex ceeding, the supply of lest year; but there is an impor tant difference in the stock, which last year was large, and many hundred tons were bought and held by the buyers until the autumn. Great complaints are made of the adulteration of Cochineal, and one is at a loss to knew where a genuine article of any kind can be purchased. There are, un doubtedly, numbers of honest dealers, but the imperfect administration of the law affords the dishonest great fa cilities to rob the public, and injuriously compete with the fair trader. An analytical chemist having been em ployed to compare two genuine and two adulterated spe cimens of cochineal, the ingredients were at once disco vered, and we are told that, " from this examination, it is evident that samples No. 2 and No. 4 are adulterated to the extent of between 9 and 10 per cent., with silica (earth of flints), alumin (earth of clay), which, although not injurious to the colouring matter of the cochineal, yet in a given quantity reduces its value to that extent. It has already destroyed the Levant trade, which is sup plied entirely by middlemen and manufacturers, the merchant exporting the genuine article being quite un able to compete with persons who can sell silica and alumin at the same rate as cochineal, with the addi tional advantage that damaged and inferior (genuine cochineal being adulterated) has a better appearance than the genuine article of a superior quality. The evil consequences of these dishonest practices cannot be better exemplified than in the fact that Bordeaux, which was once the great depot for this article of com merce, has entirely lost the trade, and entirely owing to the loss of character by extensive adulteration. As regards the home consumer, he can effectually guard against this species of knavery by having his cochineal direct from the docks; but even this is a grievance, as few consumers can take off a sufficient quantity to be enabled to buy through the brokers. He must necessa rily buy from the dealer, who can adulterate or not, as his conscience and character allow him." The English Stock Market has been very quiet again, but firm.

CORNEXCHANGE.--(FRIDAY.) D ur i n g the present week the arrivals of English Wheat for our market, coastwise, have amounted to 2,260, quarters. Fresh up to-day the receipts of that gra i n by land carriage were very moderate, and the show of samples of both red and white was comparatively small. Generally speaking the factors were firm, but owing to the continued pressure of French Flour the amount of business doing was trifling, at Monday's quo tations. The imports of foreign Wheat having been confined to only 610 quarters, some of the importers, notwithstanding that the show of granaried samples was seasonably good, refused to sell except on higher terms, but which were not submitted to , by the millers. An unusually small supply of Barley being on offer, that article moved off freely, at extreme en rreucies. In Malt, i the receipt s o f which were moderate, c ,imparatively little was doing, at late rates. Under 5,000 quarters of Oats having come to hand, the Oat trade was active, at an advance in the quot a ti ons o f f rom 6d to is in some in stances per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Flour changed hands steadily, at full prices. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEER% Barley. Malt.i Oats. _Wheat. i Flour. q qr,,. rs. qr. t,. .qrs. Sa,',.. Engliak •• •• ..

PAUL'S.—Yesterday the great annual meeting of the charity schools of the metropolis was held in the cathedral, when between 3,000 and 4,000 scholars attended. The nobility and gentry were presetat in great numbers, with a good sprinkling of foreign visitors. At the commencement of the service, when the whole of the children were seated, the edifice presented a spectacle such as might be sought in vain at any other time or place. Be fore the prayers the 100th Psalm was sun,: by the whole of the children; after the first lesson, " rye Deum" was excel lently given by the gentlemen of the choir; "Jubilate Deo" following the second lesson. Then before the prayer for the Queen was the magnificent Coronation Anthem, "Zadok the Priest," by the gentlemen of the choir, the children joining in the grand chorus, the whole having a most imposing effet.tt. The sermon was preached by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who in impressive terms referred to the great blessings on the junior members of the congregation who had been brought together in that cathedral. The ceremonies closed with the grand "Hallelujah Chorus" by the gentlemenof the choir, and when th e c hildren joined their silvery voiLlai told with remarkable effect.
