Mr. KEOGH complained that a resolution for affording such compensation should be proposed at so late an hour, and moved that the Chairman report progress. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the Committee would consi der tlfe 'tesolution, unless some reason were shown for an adjournment. Mr. KEOGH said the only notice on the paper with refer ence to this subject was in these terms—" Exchequer Cham ber (Ireland)—Committee thereupon," and no intimation had been given that it was intended to propose a vote of a consi derable sum of money by way of compensation. Sir G. GREY said the resolution which had been proposed was substantially identical with the second clause of the Process and Practice (Ireland) Bill, which was in the hands of Hon. Members, who might, therefore, have been aware that it was intended to give compensation to certain officers; but, according to the rules of the House, it was necessary to agree to a resolution in Committee for granting such com pensation before the clause could be proposed in the Bill. Mr. HERRIES thought no difficulty would have arisen if the Attorney-General for Ireland had, in proposing the re solution, explained its nature, and the grounds on which he proposed it. Mr. HATCHELL explained that by the Process and Practice (Ireland) Act regulations were to be made by the judges, and any person who might be thereby deprived of his office, or whose office might be diminished in value, was to be compensated. A Bill had now been brought in to re move a doubt whether the Act extended to the Court of Ex chequer Chamber, and this resolution was to found the com pensation clause in that Bill. Mr. REYNOLDS inquired how many officers there were in the Exchequer Chamber, and what were their salaries? Mr. HATCHELL really did not know the number of officers. Mr. KEOGH thought the question ought to be answered, and would not withdraw his motion. The Committee then divided : For reporting progress Eo Against it ... b 5 Majority ... _ 3 5 Mr. REYNOLDS would not consent to the vote without knowing the amount involved, and must move, that the Chairman do now leave the chair. Sir G. GREY believed it was impossible to state the ex act amount of the compensation, because the matter was in the discretion of the Treasury, subject to certain rules. But he could state that there were but three officers concerned, and the highest salary was under 500/., so that the amount of compensation could only be a few hundred pounds. Mr. SADLEIR was glad to find that nformation was at last being furnished, though it came from the English and not the Irish functionary.—(A laugh.) Perhaps another division would I,rocure the names of the officers, an account of their duties, and a stateipent whether they held any other offices in the public service. The Irish Members were be ginning to be of some little importance in that House-- (Hear, hear)—and by acting in concert would be able to check the p ra ctice of considering Irish business after mid night. They had at all times evinced a sincere disposition to co-operate with the Government (Laughther)—and he ap pealed to the Mast er of the Roll s and the Home Secretary whether in legal matters it were not so? The MASTER ,:f the ROLLS acknowledged the assistance he had received from the Irish Members in the absence of the law officers of the Crown from that House. Whether the officers of tha Exchequer Chamber would be affected did not appear, but if they were it was proposed to take power to give compensation. Mr. KEOGH concurred with the Hon. Member for Dublin in opposing further proceedings. Mr. WALPOLE thought the notice on the paper not suf- ' ficiently explicit, but, as no person would be pledged by as senting to a mere matter of form, he suggested the with drawal of the motion. REYNOLDS, however, persisted, and The Committee divided, when there appeared— For Mr. Reynolds's motion... Against it Majority ... On re-entering the gallery we found Mr. KEOGH moving that the Chairman report progress, and protesting against proceeding further at so late an hour. After a few words from Sir G. GREY, the motion was agreed to. ... 35 ... 77 .. -42 - The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the House resumed. The Sergeant -at-Arms appeared at the bar and intimated that he had executed the Speaker's warrant in the case of Henry Ed' , ards, a witness required to be in attendance before the St. Alban's Election Committee. On the motion of Sir G. GREY it was ordered that the Sergeant-at-Arms should retain Henry Edwards in custody and produce him before the Committee sitting on the St. Alban's election whenever required. The Howe adjourned at a (:).uarter-past One o'clock.

When on the Clarence wharf they waved their hands to the r friend on. board, and immediately afterwards Mr. Aldess fell in a fit of apoplexy, brought on probably by the excitement, and being conveyed home, expired withia half an hour.

The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired tip a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of•the DisraelLs, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. "' Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed hig beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one the most interesting a nd en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play c o n spicuons parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jess i e Gordon, a wild and kapaisilve genius, passionately lon 1 ot music and p oetr y ; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all." —Morning Post.

In the House of Lords last night, The Mutiny Bill, the Marine Mutiny Bill, and the Apprentices and Servants Bill, were respectively read a second time, and their Lordships adjourned. In the House of Commons, A new writ was orderad for the Leith Boroughs for the election of a Member, in the room of Mr. RuTuEn- FORD, who had been appointed a Lord of the Court of Session, Scotland. On the requisition of the Chairman of the St. Alban's Election Committee the SPEAKER issued warrants for the apprehension of EDWARDS, HAYWARD, and WAG GETT, who had been guilty of contempt. On the report of the Committee of Ways and Means being brought up, Mr. HERMES rose, in pursuance of the notice he had given, to propose an amendment to the resolution which had been read, and which was to the following effect :—" That it is the opinion of this House that the respective duties in Great Britain on profits arising from property, professions, trades, and offices, and the stamp duties in Ireland, granted by two Acts passed in the sixth year of her present Majesty, and which have been continued and amended by several subsequent Acts, were granted for limited periods, and to meet temporary exigencies ; that it is : highly expedient to adhere to the declared intentions of Parliament when these duties were granted and continued ; and, in order to secure their speediest practicable cessation, to limit the renewal of any portion of them to such an amount as may be sufficient, in the existing state of the public re venue, to provide for the expenditure sanctioned by Par liament, and for the due maintenance of public credit." The Right Hon. Gentleman entered at great length into the financial history of the country during the last ten years, and explained the reasons which had induced Sir ROBERT PEEL to propose the imposition of an income tax in 1842. He then proceeded to quote at great length from the speeches of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Sir F BA RING, Lord HOWICK, Mr. LABOUCHERE, and Sir CHARLES WOOD, against the imposition of the income tax when proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and culled upon them to explain the reasons which had induced them to change their opinions. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that, in 1845, the income-tax had been renewed not in conjunc tion with, but as a substitute for import duties, and as the basis of the great experiment of free trade. He there fore, following the example of Sir R. PEEL, proposed its renewal for three years, in order that they might continue and carry out free-trade principles. He denied that he in tended to make it a permanent tax, but he would rather see it permanent than consent to a re-imposi tion of the duties on core. Mr. PRINSEP supported the amendment. Mr. F. PEEL supported the re-imposition of the in come. tax for the purpose of carrying out the principles of free trade; the proposition of the Hon. Member for Stamford was a retrograde_ step. Mr. T. BA RING , Mr. BOOKER, Mr. SPOONER, Mr. REYNOLDS, Lord CLAUD HAMILTON, and Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD supported the amendment; and Mr. J. WILSON, Mr. SLANEY, and Sir H. Limas were in favour of the original proposition. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the original proposition ... 278 - For Mr. HERRIES'S amendment ... 230 Majority for Ministers ... —4B The Designs Act Extension Bill was read a third time and passed. _ _ The Apprentice Sea Service (Ireland) Bill went through Committee, and the House resumed. The House then went into Committee, when the AT TORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND moved a resolution to give compensation to certain officers of the Exchequer Chamber (Ireland). After a short discussion, Mr. KEOGH moved that the Chairman should report progress, when the House di vided, and the numbers were— For the motion . . ••• •• ... 50 Against it... •• ••• ••• 85 ... Majority against the motion ... —35 Mr. REYNOLDS moved that the Chairman leave the chair. After some discussion the Committee divided, when ;hexed appeared— For the motion ... 35 Agairazt it... Majority -42 • _ Mr. KEOGH protested against proceeding further at that late hour, and moved that the Chairman report pro gress. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past One. The discussion and division of last night on Mr. neaaxas' amendment, cannot be received as fairly in dicating the state of public feeling on the important question of the income-tax. A false issue has been raised; the real point has been carefully avoided on either side. The people of England, while approving of a direct tax on accumulated and realised property, strongly objected to the unfair and unequal assess ment of the impost which placed the precarious earn ings of industry on the same foundation as the dividends, interest, or annual produce of real or per sonal property. They desired an equitable adjustment of the impost, not its removal ; they ap proved of the principle of direct taxation, but no t of direct taxation in the existing form. The of last night could o n l y b e regarded, therefore,debate te as a species of sham fight, got u p f or the purpose o f diverting attention from th e real subject. Mr. HERRIEs made it to a cer taind extent a question of protection or no strongly as we object t o protection ; and, r CHARLES WOOD, the reso l ut i on proposed by Ol D Gentleman the able th an t h at of t h e Ri g ht Ho . we must c on f ess that we consider it as less objection , Member for Stamford—the Chancellor of the Ex chequer la posse of the agriculturists. It is true that he spoke of " the inequalities, fraud , a nd in justice" of th e t ax, but he did not, on th a t accoun t, endeavour to render it more equitable, to remove that portion of it which was objectionable, and retain that which rested on a broader foundation. He did not propose to remit, or even to diminish, the rates payable under Schedules D and E, but he applied all the surplus to the reduction, not of the charges on profits or earnings, but of all classes, with- SUN, out exception, of property as well as of income. We cannot, however, suppose that as he has been so deci sively defeated on thatpoint, he will not ne prepared to vote on future occasions in favour of its modification . His own words will remain on record against him. He declared that " if Sir BonExer PEEL had any idea that the impost would have been made per manent, no doubt he would have felt it his duty first to have it entirely remodelled and recast." This vindication of the departed and lamented states man, by his former colleague, from one of the few blots remaining on his memory, must be regarded as highly satisfactory—first, as showing that if the Minister who introduced the tax were now living, he would, under the altered circumstances of the case, be one of the first to insist upon a revision of the assessment—and, secondly, that the support of the great financier of the Protectionists may be looked for when the question is fairly raised, as it must be some time before the measure has passed through all its stages in the House. Sir CHARLES Wool) may be disposed to look upon the division of last night as conclusive, but he will fins that many such divisions must take place before the country is again subject to the incubus from which it has just escaped, al though that escape may be but for a brief period. As to Sir CHARLES WOOD himself, all we can say for him is, that he still blindly and obstinately adheres to the " conclusion" he bad for merly arrived at. We confess that we had not much expectation of any improvement so far as he was personally concerned, but we did hope that the good sense of his colleagues would have induced them to interfere so as to remove the chief cause of the loss of popularity by the Government during the present session. He would blunder on recklessly ; but some of those who had the misfortune to be associated with him might have interfered to arrest his progress on " the road to ruin." They have not done so, however, and on their own heads the conse quences must fall. Of him we may adopt the lan guage of Blackwood, who in the number for the present month truly remarks— " This i❑veterate Buiget-bungler has more than once ere this led the Whigs to the very verge of destruction. We might apply to him with strict propriety the lines which Dryden has placed in the mouth ut the Prince of Dulness— Shadwell alone my perfect image bears, Mature in dulness from his tender years; Sbadwell alone of all my sons is he Who stands confirmed in full stupidity. The rest to some taint meaning make pretence, But Shadwell never deviates into sense. Some beams of wit on other souls may fall, Strike through, and make a lucid interval; But Shadwell's genuine night admits no ray, His rising fogs prevail upon the day.'" Yes, the " genuine night" of the Ministerial SIIAD• WELL " admits no ray," but we might have looked fur some dispersal of the fogs from his coadjutors, who " To some faint meaning make pretence." They have, however, disappointed the reasonable ex - pectation, and we must therefore prepare ourselves for the contest that is thus forced upon us—and the once Liberal Ministry can only blame themselves for the result, whatever it may be. The lion. Gentleman the Member for Leominster was the only person who placed the subject in the true point of view. His was unquestionably the speech of the evening, and he enunciated the soundest principles put forward during the debate. He clearly pointed out the objections to the amend ment and to the resolution, showing that he was obliged to dissent from the former, and that he could not approve of the latter. He declared himself favourable "to the principle of an income-tax, because it combined that system of direct and indirect taxation, which was the means of making the wealthier classes con tribute in a manner proportioned to their means to the revenue required for defraying the public expenditure of the country," but he showed a just appreciation of the evils of the present system, and put forward the strongest argument for considerable alterations in Schedules D and E. " Many a man," said the Hon. Gentleman, " might have a nominal amount of income, the whole amount of which he was not able to dispose of ; and no one would venture to deny that there was a difference between a life income and a permanent income, between an income which a man enjoyed as long as he lived, and after his death left to his descendants that came after him, and an income which he held on a tenure so frail and fleeting as his own life. And if there WB3 a distinc tion between a life income and a permanent income, there was a still broader distinction between either of those incomes and incomes which were held on contingencies more precarious than life itself, such contingencies as fortune, health, reputation, and employment. A man in that position was bound by every consideration of duty, by every dictate of prudence and foresight, not ►nerely to lay by a portion of that income for the pur pose of assisting those who came after him to make a start in life, but for the support of his own deelin• ing years or decaying health." These are opinions to whicti we have often given expres sion, and which must be responded to by the people, which must find an echo in every unpreju diced mind—an echo which must disturb the " con clusion" at which Sir CHARLES WOOD has arrived with so much self• satisfaction—considering that "as the tax was so unjlust to all, it might happen not to be so very unjust to any one." A satisfactory sottlement of the Ministerial diffi culties appears to be altogether impracticable until after a dissolution. With the House of Commons as at present constituted, there really cannot by possi bility be any stable t adjustment of an Administration. To adventure upon any such extraordinary step to wards the elucidation of the problem would, however, be just now, to say the very least of it, in the highest degree inconvenien t. Therefore it is that the matter is for the time,be ing procrastinated. Therefore it is that the Legish iture is disposed to accept the return of the pre sent Administrators to office in preference to wl Lat would be yet more un satisfactory—name hy, a reference of the ques tion at this par ticular moment to the opinion of the electors tb roughout the United Kingdom. Rather than jeop a rdise the whole of the gigantic scheme of the Iu dustrial Exposition, the people themselves are prep ared to submit to the perpetuation in power of a Calaki iet so effete as that presided over by Lord JOHN Rut ;SELL. Until the autumn, conse quently, it is antici! pated that the affairs of the nation will be allowed to remain in their present lamentable state of confusion-- when, the impediment prei iously standing in the way of an appeal to the country being rem oved, the constituencies will again have the privil tege of selecting the most eligible of their re spective candidates. For a while, therefore, many of the most cherished plans of im provement must re main in abeyance, the multitude exercising that:pati ence which is alone left to them as a duty, coupled wi th the consolation of an implicit confidence in the eh aracter of the next Parliament. Under existing c ircumstances, of course, it can not be matter of surprise to find the various parties and sect ions of parties among poli ticians flattering ti hemselves with the anti Ipation of an overwhelming triumph over their antagonists. The Finns chantei 1, already in expectation of those hypothetical victoria es are only the rational result of the illusions hod!' Igad in for so long a period by the majority. Deno ,onstrations have been made so noisily by the Pro I ,ectionists throughout the United Kingdom, that it is but natural to find the organs of the agriculturists ?already exulting in the looked-for acquisition of the : reins of government. The Free traders, on the'co atrary, satisfied with the complete success of their r agitation, have for a considerable period indulged in , what to their leaders must have appeared a deli tious as well as an unwonted tranquillity. Ha ving witnessed the re-organi zation of the no ercantile system of the empire upon the basis of their principles, they which proved t o ti kbee Severally shrunk back md a o ll u y bly d in e t li o ghtf t u b l e after qu th ie e tude ar duous struggle wi th the advocates of monopoly. The Anti-Corn-lm v Rhymer played no more on that oaten pipe whose b. n eathings had thrilled to the hearts of even the most ignorant and the most prejudiced. The Catechist of P 5t otection put forth no longer those posers of inquiries v vhich helped as much as anything to lay bare the pia a dozes and the sophisms of the sticklers for impos on the national provisions. The orators of the Lea g ue, the eloquent Member for the Tower Hamlets, ;b a impassioned representative of Oldham, and, conspii :uous among all, the plain-spoken ge nius of COBDEIC, and of his principal colleague in LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1851. the enterprise adventured upon against the most law less of all systems of taxation—the taxation imposed upon the food of the hard- working masses of the com munity—lapsed into silence, and for a while left the ear of the country to the dolorous complaints of the vanquished. It has thus come to pass that an extraordinary confidence has grown up in the hearts of the Protec tionists—a confidence that, before long, the old laws imposing duties upon provisions must be revived, for the gratification of the agriculturists. They have construed the silence of their victors into an as surance that no obstruction will be thrown in the way of their return to the obsolete code of monopoly. Dreamers that they are, they have flattered them selves into a belief that no insurmountable difficulties will impede their progress in their return to their ancient predominance. Hence they have derived rather encouragement to their hopes than the contrary from the non-success of Lord STANLEY in his recent attempt to cook up an Administration. They behold in the weakness of the existing Cabinet an incontro vertible assurance of their own competence to follow its Members as the Administrators of the affairs of the British Government. For the purpose of sustaining themselves in this very gratify ing be lief they put the most preposterous construction upon all the revelations of their latest experience. Where every one else sees prosperity, they behold only the calamitous destitution consequent upon a Free-trade innovation. They perceive discontent where all others see satisfaction, and behold on all sides the auguries of their speedy return to power, and with that the speedy revival of Protectionist principles. As if the multitude having once tasted the sweets of cheap bread and of cheap provisions of all kinds would be disposed to forego that privilege, at the behest of a statesman hungering himself for the loaves and fishes of the Government ! But it is maintained by the prophetic advocates of the agricultural interest, that the next election must inevitably send to the House of Commons an over whelming majority of Protectionists, and that by necessity therefore the new Cabinet must return to the bygone policy of the monopolists. All that can be responded to such a marvellously self-sufficient and short-sighted vaticination is that no more terrible calamity than this could fall to the lot of the expected Prime Minister. To furnish him with such a Protectionist majority would be to force him to adopt the most perilous policy a Minister was ever compelled to accept as the outline of his scheme of government. It would be driving him reluctantly, if he were wise, and wilfully if he were foolish, into a course of proceedings the most admirably calculated to provoke all the turbu lent passions conducting a nation to a state ripe for revolution. Against any such supreme danger it behoves all his real well-wishers to pray that Lord STANLEY may be defended—conscious as they all must be that the diffusion of liberty and the develop ment of civilization depend, in a very great measure upon the maintenance of order in the United Kingdom. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Various attempts at forming a permanent Ministry were made durir b pr the course of S tturday, Sunday, and yesterday, but they have all failed, in conse quence, it is said, of the intrigues of M. THIERS. The Democratic Republicans have returned their candidates in several of the communes in the. South of France. _ _ _ The Assembly was yesterday engaged in discussing the laws regulating the administration of hospitals. Government Stock declined at the close of the Bourse.

Austria having succeeded, under pretence of being the ally of Denmark, in inundating the Duchies with her troops, is now assiduously engaged in endeavouring to pick a quarrel with Denmark, in order to have an excuse for keeping those troops there at the expense of her ally. General SIGNORINI, the Austrian Com missioner, acting, no doubt, under the instructions of his Government, bas behaved in so insulting a manner to the Danish Commissary that a challenge has been the consequence. The fact is, that Austria has an enormous army which she cannot pay or sub sist, and therefore she endeavours to quarter them on her neighbours ; her policy is, in fact, an or ganized system of plunder. It is really time that the solvent and civilized Governments of Europe should combine together to put a stop to the swindlings and robberies of this Bankrupt and Bri gand Power. THE SHARE MARKETS.

SERIOUS FIRE IN THE THAMES BANK DEPOSI TORY.—Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, a fire hap pened in the Ranelagh-road, Thames Bank, Pimlico, in a portion of the building which formed one part of a range of premises fitting up as model sleeping apartments, and in the occupation of a gentleman named Harrison ; at the time filled with valuable property of nearly every description, amongst which was a collection of pictures belonging to various parties. The men at work in the yard first perceived the place to be on fire. Unfortunately, after the arrival of the engines, t 5 minutes elapsed before a drop of water could be procured, and the flames had acquired such an ascendancy that it was not until noon that the firemen succeeded in ex tinguishing them. The official report gives the damage as follows : " A brick building, 130 feet long, called fire-proof the furniture, &c., in ditto seriously burned and damaged by fire, smoke, and water, on ground and first floors. The window-frames broken out. Supposed cause of fire—lron pipe from hot air furnace. The premises were uninsured ; the contents at present not known if insured." Mr. Womb well's collection of pictures, valued at 40,0001., were in the depository, but were saved from destruction. THE FRIMLEY MIIRDERERS.—Levi Harwood and Jones will be executed at Horsemonger-lane gaol on Tues day morning the 22d instant, and not on Monday, as stated in our paper of yesterday. It appears that the county authorities have very judiciously given directions that when executions are necessary they shall for the future take place on Tuesdays, as that will allow the preparations to be made without desecrating the Sabbath, as has here tofore unfortunately been the case. CusToms.—Yesterday being the first day of the official year, the arrangement for the annual supply of the several dock establishments, quays, and warehouses, and sufferance wharfs en the river side with landing officers of the Customs' department for the ensuing year, took place. By this arrangemenr a certain sufficient number f searchers and other landing officers are stationed at each of the great dock establishments for general business pur poses, and also at the Custom-house for the supply of the quays and wharfs on either side of the river, the residue being retained to meet the general requirements of the trade of this vast port. AN INCIDENT OF THE CENSUS.—One of the collec tors under the Census Act, in the neighbourhood of Hulme, received a blank return from one man ; and he was asked why it was not filled up? The reply was, that nobody had slept in the house the preceding night. " Was the house empty, then ?" he inquired. " No," was the re joinder; " but my wife was confined of twins for the third time, about ten o'clock, and nobody has ever slept since I" THE POLISHING BRIGADE.-011 Saturday a num ber of young men, dressed in red uniform, and furnished with apparatus for cleaning clothes and shoes, were sta tioned in the vicinity of the Exhibition building, and west end thoroughfares. They are all lettered, and wear badges in scribed "The Shoeblack Society." They have been selected to these offices from the London ragged schools, previous to being assisted to emigrate. CITY OF LONDON PENSION SOCIETY.—A general meeting of this society took place yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the election of four addi tional pensioners from a list of thirty-five candidates; Jas. Harmer, Esq., in the chair. The report stated the great pleasure it afforded the directors to be again enabled to pre sent to the benevolent supporters of this charity an oppor tunity of exercising their privileges of voting in the election of an additional number of pensioners. Since the founda tion of this charity it had bean the happy instrument of affording relief in old age to no less than 878 poor pensioners, thereby distributing in monthly pensions the sum of 56,2141.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales. The market was heavy, at previous rates, except inferior qualities. which were rather lower. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 200 Bahia, at 7 'y s d. to Bd. ; 30J Egyptian, at 7 3 %d. to B%d. ; 1,000 Surat, at 4d. to 5144 d.; and e 0 Sea Islet d, at Is. 2d. to Is. 9d. per lb.-- In Railway Shares a fair business was done at higher prices. The state of the Metal Market is described by Messrs. W. Short and Co. in the terms subjoined : In Iron, with the exception of a fair demand for rails of the American flange pattern, we have scarce anything to note; for these 51. ss.(and it is said Si. 75. 6d.) per ton have been paid. Bars are in very moderate demand, and good marks are obtainable at 4/. 15s. in Wales. Scotch pigs have been greatly neglected, and the price has declined about Is. per ton. Of mixed - numbers ordinary brands, there are sellers at 41s. payment against bills of lad ng, and 41s. 6d. against storekeepeas' free on board warrants. Of Swedish there is a limited quantity in stock, and good assortments are not to be had under le/. per ton. " Swedish Steel is firmly held for the price quoted. Copper is firm in price, and in fair demand. Tin-English wa-, on Ist instant reduced 41. per ton. In Foreign we have had a limited business, and we quote the price about 2/. per ton lower; the last sales of Banat in Holland were made at a price equivalent to 83s. per ton, shipped free in bond there. Tin Plates continue in very fair demand. Lead is without alteration. Spelter has declined to about li 1. lOs. per ton on the spot, and for delivery during the summer a considerable quantity has been sold at 151. 55." Some days ago we gave an abstract of the contents of Mr. Locke's p:oposed Railway Audit Bill, and we have now before us the plan of Messrs. Stanfor • and Mullings, which has likewise been brought into Parliament. Upon the whole we incline to think that the hrst-named will have the pre ference, t he latter being too in,olved, and containing too many wheels within wheels. The preparers of the Bill de sire that a board of railway auditors shall be established, to consist of five persons, neither directors nor shareholders, nor otherwise interested. A special meeting of proprietors and holders of debentures, &c., is to be held within four calendar months from the passing of this Act, and at this elec. tors will be chosen in the proportion of one for every 500,000/. of capital of the railway; or if the total capital be less than that amount, still one elector may be appointed, and the parties voting for him must have held their stock not less than six calendar months, and to the amount at least of 1001. ; neither can the directors or other officers vote. The number to constitute a meeting must hold at least one-fifth of the capital, and proxies must be sent three clear days before to the secretary. Every 1001. capital stock will give the right to one vote, and one more vote for every five shares beyond the first ten with limitations upwards. When the electors are chosen, the Board of Trade will advertise their names, and convene them to rake into consideration the claims of the different candidates for the office of auditors, who wiil be ballotted for, one auditor only being chos nat each meeting. A party from the Board of Trade will officiate as secretary at these meetings of electors. The auditors will be appointed for life, but subject to re moval for gross negligence or misconduct. The general duties of the auditors will be to inspect the accounts kept by all railway companies, to call fur vouchers, distinguish capital from revenue, inquire into all pecuniary obligations, including cases, guarrantees, and if expedient to examine the directors, clerks, and other officers of the company. Non compliance will subject the offending parties to a fine of 201. per diem. The auditors, as far as practicable, will keep up a "continuous" audit, and print and circulate half-yearly a clear statement made out upon one uniform plan, showing the real financial condition of the company, the profit and loss, the amount available for dividend, but without the power to fix such dividend, and may append any observations they think fir. These will have to be read out at the meetings of shareholders, and sold at a 'low charge to the public generally, the same as Parliamentary reports are. The auditors may appoint a secretary and clerks, the secretary not to have more than 6001., nor any other officer more than 4001. per annum. The five auditors are to have 1,2001. per annum each. The railway companies will have to defray the expense of convening meetings to choose electors, but no elector will be paid more than 10/. The Commissioners of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade will defray their own expenses out of the funds voted by Parliament, but the entire cost of the audi tors and their officers will be liquidated by a general " audit rate," levied upon the " net" profits of the companies, which will pay the said rate half-yearly into the Bank of England. These comprise the objects of the proposed Act. The followir g particulars of the state of the Cotton Market is from the Circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, of 15th ult., published by Dir. James Irvine, of Liverpool :- "NEW ORLEANS, MARCH 15.-CorroN.-Oar last review was dated Ist inst., and left our market in a depressed state, with fair sales, however. The arrival of the 15th February steamer, subsequently to the above date, bringing news of a further decline in the. Liverpool market, and a limited busi ness at Manchester, had the eflect again of unsettling this market, and the sales during the first week of this month amounted to 22,500 bales, at very irregular prices, ranging from 9% to 10%c. for middling, according to the nature of orders for ' even running' or mixed average' parcels of this grade-the former being very scarce, in consequence of the large quantities of decioedly low and i ferior qualities, coming to market from all points, and indicating clearly that they are the complement of crops In this state of things, the accounts from Liverpool of the 22d were looked for, and no one doubted that that market would have given way fur • ther ; the steamer arrived, however, reporting no change in prices, but a firmer market. Factors were thereby induced to demand improved reef, and not being met by buyers whose letters have not yet come to hard, the business tran sacted this week has amounted to '21,700 bales, at more regu lar and somewhat more impr,ved l rices, say 9% to 10 1 4 for middling, as in qua'ity, while the higher grades, from the scarcity, maintain a value relatively much higher, e nod middling being held firmly at 11 to 11 1 4 c. As to the ex tent of our present crop, we see no good reason to change our views lately expressed. The continued large receipts have been by some construed into an evidence of a great product this season, but bad we not reliable information from the shipping points of the interior, the experien6e of past short crop years, showing invariably the heaviest per centsgo of receipts, we should still be unshaken in our opinion. Pains have been taken to ascertain the most reliable accounts, am from the best source, within a few days; the result shows that the average of receipts for this port is barely 880 m bales against 830 m in 1849-50. We have accounts from Red River, according to which a vast extent of Cotton lands are threatened with inundation; the stock of cattle are being re moved, and planting of the crop to come is postponed fade finitely. We define the present position of the market by the following quotations, viz. :-Ordinary, 8 to 8 i/ e c. ; good ordinary, 9 to 9 , , c.; middling, 10 to 10%c.; good middling, 11 to 11 1 / 4 c.; middling fair, 11 to 11 3 4 c.; fair, 12 to 1214 c. Sales during the last fortnight, 44,200 bales; receipts at this port since Ist Sept. 744,809 bales. against 651,239 bales last year; increase of receipts at ail the ports up to latest dates, 143,13 r bales " The Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada has had all the required capital paid up, and a reference to its im portant objects may be made hereafter under this head. The Amsterdam Market was rather animated for Spanish Bonds on Sunday, but dull for other stocks. The English Funds continue very firm. Consols are 96 3 / % for Transfer, and 96% to 97 for May. Exchequer bills have been very firm at 555. to 58s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realized 97% 3 / 4 , and the Three per Cents 96 to %. In Foreign Securities scarcely any business is doing. Mexican are heavy at 33% to 14, and Spanish Five per Cents. at 20% to 21. Peruvian Deferred have been at 39.

It appeared that the prisoner, Hopping, had obtained, with the assistance of the other prisoner, a certain quantity of iron goods from Messrs. Daniel and Co., by means of a forged order, which th,y represented as coming from Mr. Bachelor, the prosecutor, from whose employ Hopping had only a fe W days previously been dismissed. Hopping bad access to the order book, and it was found atter he left, that several pages with blank forms had been torn out. Both the prisoners were fuund Guilty, and sentence 19 9 . 0 deferred.

This morning Charles Gill, the working jeweller, of Nel", ington, who w a s c 'unlined from this court, for the want s' bail, some week s s i nce on t h e c h arge o f h av i ng sent a threat' ening letter to Lord John Russell, at his official residence 113 Downing street, was brought from the House of Detention/ for the purpose of being liberated upon bail. It will be remembered that Gill was ordered by Mr. Henri to enter into his own recognizances in the suns of 1001., al to procure two subst a nti a l b a il , to keep the peace and be 0 good behaviour towards the 'Premier for the next twelv e month. He was sent to prison in default of finding th e required bail; and about a fortnight afterwards two trades' men offered to be his bail. On Field, the detective officer making the necessary inquiries, he found that one bail was substantial, but the other was not, and the bail was cone' quently refused. - Since that time Gill's friends hare endeavoured to obtain another substantial tradesman to become bail, but without success. A petition had recently been sent to her Majesty' through the Secretary of State, imploring for a mitigatio n of the bail, and that one tradesman w h o h a d b een appro ve of should be accepted instead of two.

B ingham, charge " with obtaining a situation in the service of Keith Barnes" Esq., 28, Upper Portland-place, by means of a forgo character. Mr. Barnes stated that on the 7th of January last the prisoner applied for the situation of cook in his farniii , and produced to him severa l wr i tten recommendations; Sou' among others, one purporting to be written by a Mrs. Be e ' with whom she (prisoner) stated she had lived last in set'', vice, and had left in March, 1850, with the intention e! going into some small way of business. She also stated the' when she lived with Mrs. Rae that lady resided at Worcester-p rk, Great Malvern, and that she was then re siding at 47, Preston. street, Brighton, where he could writ!, to her. A l e tter was accor di ng l y written to Mrs. Rae, an d the letter produced was received in answer. On the faith °' the excellent character contained in that letter, she was e. 1 1: gaged, and entered his h ouse . O n t h e 24th of March last 07, found the prisoner i n a s t ate o f intoxication, and desire d she would leave his s erv i ce th e next morning.

A WEATHER PROPHET.--A pleasant anecdote told of Partridge, the celebrated almanac-maker. In tre' yelling on horseback into the country he stopped for his dlr. , ter at an inn, a nd a f terwar d s ca ll e d f or his horse that '4' might reach the next town, where he intended to sleep' " If you would take my advice, Sir," said the ostler, as '"; was about to mount his horse," y ou w ill stay where you a r for the night, as you will surely be overtaken by a peltiee rain." " Nonsense, nonsense," said the almanack-mak er, " there is sixp ence f or y ou , my h onest fellow, and g 00,,, afternoon to you " He proceeded on hi s j ourney, an d sure enough he was well drenched in a heavy shower. Par t ridge was struck with the man's prediction, and being ways intent on the interest of his almanack, he rode bard on the instant, and was received by th e ost l er w i th a broil grin. " Well, Sir, you see I was right a ft er a ll." " Yes' my lad, you have been so, and here is a crown f or you , but I give it to you on condition that you tell me how you ken; of this rain." "To be sure, Sir," replied the man, " virb,_ A P the truth is, we have an alm anac k i n our house cab' . Partridge's Almanack, and the fellow is such a notorien: liar. that whenever he promi ses us a fi ne day we *WAY know that it will be the direct contrary. Now, your b ° nour, this day, the 21st of June, is put down in our alma neck in-doors as Settled, fine weather, no ra i n .' I look_ .. „'" at that before I brought your honour's horse out, and so enabled to put you on your guard." EQUALIZATION OF THE LAND-TAX:—The Loa' tax Commissioners for Westminster met yesterday at the Exchequer Chamber, Westminster H a ll, t o assess the land' tax for 1851. Mr. Cafe was voted into the chair, which be reluctantly took, as he thought the meeting a very unusu al one, and, indeed, scarcely knew w h y i t was called. M. Rogers was then appointed clerk, en d M r. Coppock, ante much interruption, explained th e aut h or i ty under which t 1: meeting was convened, sad adv oca t e d an equalization o f 010 land-tax by arguments similar to those which he has e M ; ployeti on previous occasions el sew h ere. M r. Woo d, ",' principal spokesman of the opposition, objected to the res., °- lution proposed by Mr. Copp oc k, an d em b o d y i ng that gel; tleman's views, on the groun d th a t h owever des i ra ble equalization of the land-tax might be, they (the Comrar i ; sioners) were not capable of re-adjusting it, an d b ecau se believed that any attempt on their part so to do would III: valve them in endless litigation, without leading to ary, profitable result. Mr. Wood ultimately moved an amen ment, in accordance with the views which he had thus pressed. Other gentlemen having spoken on either aide °,./ the question, the division was call e d f or. Th e num b e rs the opposing parties were equal, 12 t o eac h ; b ut the d r at , ; man gave the casting vote in f avour o f M r. W ood, and th meeting, thus declared illegal, was dissolved.
