Registered provlslonally,yursuant to 7 and B .. Vic., cap. 110. The object of this undertaking is to provide direst railway corn manication with the metropolis and Kent for the p i ulous and rieh tract of country lying along the north bank of tle Thames, and extending along the south and east coast of Essex to the port of Harwich. It is proposed to effect this object by— Ist. A line of railway in continuation of the Blackwell Railway along the Marshes, by Barking, Dagenham, Gulph, Rainham, to Til bury, and crossing the Thames by means of a Steam Floating-bridge, similar to those so successfully introduced by Mr. Rendell, at Devon pert, Southampton, and elsewhere. 2d. A. lino branching from Dagenham or Rainham to Rayleigh and Southend. . „ 3d. A line bearing north-east from Tilbury, intersecting No. 2 at some convenient point, and passing through the level country at the foot of the Essex hills through Maldon to Harwich. The country throughout presents unusual facilities for the formation of a good and level line at a comparatively trifling cost. The traffic has been ascertained to bet large, and to afford a good prospect of profitable investment, and the co-operation of the princi pal landowners along the line, from the progress already made, will be speedily secured. In a military point of view, for the rapid transit of troops from London and Chatham, along the north bank of the Thames and the Essex coasts, this railway will prove of the greatest importance, es pecially in time of war, and cannot, therefore, fail to receive the favourable consideration of her Majesty's Government. In a commercial point of view, this railway offers great advantages to the local agricultural and shipping interests, as well as to the metropolis, in the rapid and cheap conveyance of commodities of all kinds, as vegetables, corn, cattle, sheep, fish, now brought in enor mous quantities to the London markets, to which may be added the carriage of coals, lime, naval and military stores, parcels, &c. As a passenger line the cheap and rapid communication thus opened between the Metropolis and Gravesend and the sea coast, cannot fail to prove attractive to the thousands who daily seek health and amusement along the banks of the river and coast, while the frequent, regular, and safe passage of the river, afforded by the establishment of the steam floating bridge, will operate by bringing the populations of Kent and Essex into more favourable communi cation. A more detailed prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee, will shortly be issued. In the meantime, applications for shares to be made to Mr. Geerge Smith, solicitor, 24, Golden square. HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. 'Morning .. 51 minutes after 11 I Evening • • 0 =buttes after 0. Admiralty adopt a false principle of economy as to ex pense, and a destructive principle as to efficiency. In expressing the surprise with which he had listened to Sir GEORGE COCABURN'S declaration of a former evening, " that he could at present man the navy well with good seamen," the Gallant Officer referred to the proof of his cwn consistency in deprecating the system he was now denouncing by refusing to act with his col leagues at the Admiralty under the last Whig Govern ment, because they would persist in the vicious practice which he found the present Board adopting after practically repudiating it. This practice was, the sending out men-of-war in time of peace with what was called a " peace complement." Than this absurdity of two complements for a man-of war, nothing could be more absurd. " A war comple ment" should be superseded by the phrase " a proper complement." But it is the more surprising (as the Member fur Gloucester argued), that this plan of capri ciously nndermanning ships of the line should have been recurred to by the present Admiralty Beard, when, on a reference made by the Whig Board, of which he had been a member, to the ablest and most distinguished officers in the service, their concurrent opinion had bees reported against such a scheme; and it was by these officers declared that the true basis of any scheme for manning ships of war should be this:—" That the numerical amount and capacity of the crew should be in proportion to the number of guns and the weight of metal." The reasonableness of this principle is so ap parent that it is difficult to imagine how any Admiralty Board could ever have departed from it. But it is ab solutely astonishing—and even deplorable—to note with what sort of arguments Sir GEORGE COCKBURN at tempted to justify the cases in which there has recently been admitted departures from it, whilst ho acknow ledged its truth, soundness, and necessity. Now it is a principle which the welfare of this coun try is more deeply interested in vigilantly maintaining than may to a casual observer be apparent, on its mere enunciation. The infraction of this prin ciple has a direct and positive tendency to disgust the service ; and we are, therefore, sorry that Capt. BERKE LEY did not call upon the House of Commons, by an affirmative resolution, to pledge itself to its practical ob servance. We cannot sufficiently condemn their appeals to the excitement of popular feeling in Ireland, which endeavours to enforce her claims to more extensive mea sures of remedial and equalising legislation, by me nacing suggestions of the amount of defection which would b 9 witnessed in the ranks of our army, and from the strength of our ships' crews, in the event of a war breaking out before those measures shall have been granted. We have ever advocated, in the most exten sive sense of the phrase, "justice to Ireland" through the extension to her of all the full rights of an integral member of the Union. But we as little believe that the denial of " repeal" will exercise any such disorganising influence on the Irish ccntingents of our army and navy as that it will withdraw one Irish workman from the yards of our builders, masons, and bricklayers, or any other of the numerous crafts and laborious avocations in which their spirited industry has always prompted them to earn a hard, but honest, subsistence, rather than abandon themselves to squalid indolence and destitution at home. We know enough, however, of the sentiments of the British seaman, English, Dutch, or Irish, to feel the most serious apprehensions as to what the inevitable tendencies must be if such inexcusable disregard for his comforts, his feelings, his just demands, as that which were: incidentally established against the Admi ralty in several very significant cases mentioned by Captain BERKELEY and Sir CHARLES NAPIER. It pro ceedings of this nature should be any longer persevered in, the utter disgust they will occasion to the service will be evidenced in its utter loss of all attachment and loyalty to the cause it has hitherto carried to triumph and to victory over every sea. Let us advert to a few of these facts. When the Albion (90) was last fitted out under Captain LOCRYER, for the experimental squadron in the Channel, she carried a crew of from 800 to 830 men; but she was dispatched to Lisbon with a complement 100 short of that number. Now, though Lisbon could scarcely be considered a foreign station, Captain LOCKYER had to " look at" the French squadron off the coast of Africa. Had an actual collision unhappily taken place, what plea of justification could have availed those who would have placed Captain LOCEYER in such a position, with a crew at least 100 men short of its com plement ? But when these experimental squadrons are fitted ou how happens it that it is so exceedingly difficult to find able seamen for them ? Because—and the fact was broadly admitted by Sir GEORGE COCKBURN—there b. ing no provision adopted for securing the services of able seamen at the time of their being paid off for an, future emergency, it is found a labour of the most difficult and protracted character to get together again any number of them. They have entered the merchant service to escape from utter destitution ; or, for want of employment and patronage at home, have taken service at higher wages with foreign Powers. The few able seamen that are entered on board an experimental ship know beforehand that all the hard work will fall upon them,— excessive duty in proportion to their superior capacity to discharge it ; but all this increased liability and labour are unaccompanied with any increase of pay or emolument ? Are these conditions likely to operate in Iny other way with able seamen but to deter them from engaging ? In further illustration of this crying evil—the deficiency of able seamen—we may mention what happened to Capt. BERKELEY himself. In 1836 he was appointed to the command of the Hercules. The Asia, and other ships, were being equipped at the same time, and the utmost difficulty was experienced in obtaining men. At length the captains of ships in course of man ning were directed to receive men from the Coast Guard. Capt. BERKELEY remonstrated against this order, re marking " that those men were not worthy of their rating." When the Hercules left Sheerness, although she had ostensibly her full complement of men, there were not more than twelve among them who could steer the ship, nor above seven who could bo trusted to take soundings ! Is this a condition for the men of- war of Great Britain to be sailed under ? The vast extent for which the modern application of steam and machinery to navigation both supersede d the practical seamanship and experience of all weathers which the navy used to meet with in its ready draughts from the Scotch smacks, the Irish " wherries," the passenger-coasting vessels of our own shores, and the body of the Thames' watermen, is so obvious and so efficient a cause of this diminution of the supply of able seamen, accustomed to work ship ping in all weathers, under every disadvantage of bad seasons, and dangerous coasts, and therefore in a school certain to form them to habits of smart and ready sea manship, that the evil complained of ought long ago to have caused provision to be made for its own remedy. Inducements in the shape of premiums ought to have been already established to keep our able seamen within available reach when required. So lately as 1840, when Sir CHARLES NAPIER commanded a squadron, and Captain BERKELEY sailed under his orders, they were warned that they might have a collision with the French fleet, and yet sailed with " peace complements," as they were called! Captain BERKELEY closed his exposition of the defects most prominent in the Admiralty management by ad verting to one cause of the deficiency of seamen, of which the Admiralty were, he considered, rather as the unwilling ministerial agents, than the voluntary pro moters. It seems that when a ship is paid off the captain is desired to recommend, out of his men, those of the best character for the Coast Guard. Once entered into that they are for ever lost to the navy ; for not only do they remain on shore, and after the usual time become entitled to pensions, but they lose all that they could ever boast of able seamanship. We go all the lengths with Captain BERKELEY in holding that this branch of ser vice, though appropriated to purposes of revenue pro tection, should be under the control of the Admiralty ; but, in supporting his further opinion, that these Coast Guard men ought to be available for general service whenever called upon, we are inclined to go some what beyond his proposition, that on quitting the general service again they should have the option of re-entering the Coast Guard. But the view we have to submit on this and other points in connexion with the remedies applicable to the very serious evils brought under the notice of the Legislature on Friday evening last, we shall postpone till to-morrew, when we shall take occasion to advert to the defence of the Admiralty set up by Sir G. COCKBURN, and the very just remarks —and what is more, the very feasible propositions, as we think them—briefly opened by Sir C. NAPIER, for obviating the "short supply " of able seamen in future, and ensuring at all times a ready levy of them. It does not strike us that topics of more vital importance to the character and welfare of our navy, and therefore to the safety and grandeur of this country, have been more satisfactorily discussed for many sessions. We see in the temperate and earnest tone of all parties a consoling augury of intended and immediate improvement in the administration of the interests confided to the Board of Admiralty—at all times vast—now every day becoming of paramount magnitude and influence. Accounts from Constantinople of the 30th April an nounce that official intelligence had been received that a body of Greek soldiers, headed by an officer of the name of PLATONIHI, had made an irruption into Thessaly. It appears that the Turkish Government had anticipated such an act of aggression, and had placed an officer with a:division of troops in a defile, to watch his movements. A collision took place, and after an obstinate combat the Greeks were driven back. Sixteen men were killed, and a number wounded on both sides. The Porte, in consequence, had addressed a strong note to the Greek Government on this wanton aggression, for the affair took place on the Turkish ter ritory ; and unless ample reparation is made, it will be followed by a declaration of war. It is generally admitted that the Greek Government is greatly to blame for sending troops to the frontier at all, but especially under a reckless officer who would not scruple to disturb the peace between the two countries. Col.Ern, who now has the entire management of affairs, is conducting himself in the same unjustifiable manner in the home department, and by a wanton in terference with a religious procession, had nearly pro duced a civil commotion in .the capital. The following account of this affair is furnished by a correspondent : " According to custom, the Greek Church celebrated on the night of their Good Friday, the 25th instant, a religious ceremony in honour of the Holy Sepulchre. It was arranged by the Archbishop that the procession should take place exactly as in former years, and pass through the same streets, but M. Coletti ordered the Governor to notify to the Archbishop that the route of the procession must be so far altered as to pass before the new royal palace. The prelate declined to accede to this, but M. Colletti, nothing daunted, at the moment the procession emerged from the church, assisted by Generals Tzavellas and Grivas and Calli phronas, Vice-President ofthe Chamber of Deputies, forcibly possessed themselves of the four corners of the representa tion of the Holy Sepulchre, hoping that the clergy would be obliged to follow. The prelate hesitated. The commissary of police endeavoured to force him to do so, upon which he decided on retiring into the sanctuary, but ordered the clergy to follow, without, however, going to the palace. The whole procession proceeded for a short distance, until the four bearers of the holy sepulchre took the turning which led to the palace, while the clergy and the rest of the procession followed the one they had been directed to adhere to, and finding that they were thus abandoned, returned to the church. This scandalous scene caused a tumult among the spectators, and a voice cried out, ' The King of kings is not to be carried to the fest of a mortal king.' M. Colletti perceived his error, and al though the King and Queen were waiting, gave up the idea of proceeding to the palace, persuaded the clergy to return, and then the whole procession adhered to the route which the Archbishop had ordered. The next evening M. Coletti still further committed himself, as after the ceremony at the church, at which their Majesties were present, and had been kept standing upwards of two hours, M. Coletti and General Grivas suddenly decided on receiving the sacrament, which is quite contrary to custom, and was highly displeasing to the clergy, to say nothing of its being a breach of Court eti quette, as it considerably prolonged the ceremony." We have received Madrid journals of the 10th and 11th inst. The Cortes, which was still engaged in dis cussing the budget, had nearly finished the business of the session, and was to be prorogued about the 20th. The QUEEN will leave for Oatalonia a few days after wards, accompanied by NARVAEZ and MARTINEZ DE LA Ross. It would appear from the following statement in the Espectador that the relations between the Court of Madrid and the POPE have not yet been established. His Holiness requires much more than the Ministers con sider it prudent to concede : " We are assured that the concordat has arrived, and that it is on the following bases :-1. All the emigrant bishops are to return to Spain without being required to take the oath to the Constitution. 2. In each provincial capital there shall be two convents in which the monks shall reside without distinction of order. 3. The Government shall provide the buildings fur this purpose. 4. The support of the monks shall be provided for by a canonical tax of 15 per cent., to which the purchasers of Church property shall be subjected, and it is only on this condition that they shall be relieved from the excommunication that now hangs over them. 5. The vacant dioceses shall be administered by ecclesiastical governors, to be named, not by the chapters, but the bishops of the nearest diocese-I. We do not guarantee the news, but it is communicated to us as verypositive. It is said that the Government is doing all in its power to prevent these condi tions from transpiring, but it is so embarrassed at this unex pected news that it is probable the occult power will influence it and induce it to submit to the demands of the PoPe." The Three per Cents. closed at 34i for cash, and 35 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest, at 81 at 60 days. The intelligence in the Paris papers is not important. The Deputies did not meet on Saturday, as there were not a sufficient number of Members present to constitute the Chamber. On the previous day the Great Northern line occupied their attention, but little progress was made. The Committee had proposed that the line be tween St. Quentin and Noyou should pass by the for tress of Ham. To this the Government objected, and required time to consider what course would be pre ferable. To this the Chamber assented. It was under stood, however, that the Government was to make its choice before the adjudication of the line, and it was re solved that the Company should be bound to for ward all merchandise within twenty-four hours after its delivery, unless there was a special agreement to the contrary. The Opposition, according to the Revue de Paris, intend to show fight again before the close of the session about the old worn out questions relating to Morocco and Otaheite, and "is is probable," adds that journal, " that the Ministry will be asked what course they mean to adopt in pre sence of the difficulties which may arise in the New World between Great Britain and the United States. Besides those questions, which are entirely political, the special budget of the Ministry of Marine will be the theme of numerous and severe reclamations addressed to Admiral blacissti, respecting the absence of order and foresight manifest in most of the branches of his (the navy) administration." A report prevailed that the negotiations carried on in London relative to the suppression of the slave trade w. re in a fair train ; that the right of search was to be abolished, and that French and English fleets were to cruise on the African coast, to prevent the trade, as had been agreed to with the Government of the United S;ates. The following appears in the Seniaphore de Marseilles of the 14th : The steam-packet Charlemagne, which left 'Algiers on the 10th, came safe into port last evening, notwithstanding the stormy state of the weather. She brings very satisfac tory accounts from the column under the direction of Mar shal Bugeaud. The insurrection of the Dahara is completely extinguished, and most of the Kabyle tribes hare made their submission ; but the Governor-General has imposed upon them very rigid conditions. The Marabout, who killed one of our civil agents in the market place at Alilianah, has been decapitated by order of the chief of the tribe, and the head of the fanatic was laid at the feet of the Marshal. There has been a new visitation of locusts, and fears are entertained that some epidemic disease may arise from the quantity of bodies of these insects with which the ground is covered."

HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON On Saturday the members of this national and patriotic Society held their fourth and last meeting for the season at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Society was established so long age as the year 1778, and incorporated by Act of Parlia ment in 1815, for the purpose of preserving the martial spirit, dress, music, and language—the remains of Celtic literature and the antiquities of the ancient Caledonians—fur encou raging a kindly feeling between Highlanders in all parts of the world, and in other respects promoting the general wel fare of the northern parts of the kingdom. The principal general Court of the Society is always held on the 21st of March, to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of Alexandria, where the heroism of the High land troop was so conspicuously and memorably dis played. On the present occasion about forty gentlemen, several of whom were in military and Highland costume, sat down to a very excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Ba con. The chair was filled by Lieutenant-General Sir Lewis Grant, and supported by The Chisholm, Sir James R. Grant, Sir William C. Ross, Captain Charles Annandale, C al a e p , ta 3s i i n r.

Her I‘4,lesty's piper, Angus Mackay ; the Society's piper, Donald Mackay ; and John Mackenzie, piper to the Marquis of Breadalbane, played several of their best martial and High land airs. Some excellent songs were sung, a n d a few reels in true Highland spirit, were danced during the evening, and about the last hour of night the company sepa rated, after a friendly bumper, to the old toast of "Happy to meet, sorry to part, and happy to meet A MUTH OF ?lie. STRICKLAND , TUB .H.CTOR.—We regret to state that this excellent performer died last even ing, about eleven o'clock, after an illness of about a week. He has left a widow, but no children. Thus has been cut off in the prime of life (his age was only 48) one of the few re maining ornaments of the British stae. Strickland was the legitimate successor of Dowton and k awcett, and his loss at the present moment will be felt moat severely. There is no actor on the boards who can at all supply his place. It is now about ten years since Strickland first came to town. H e made his first appearance before a London audience at the Strand Theatre during the management of Hammond. He was soon afterwards engaged by Braham for the St. James's, and when that theatre closed his services were secured by Mr. Webster for the Haymarket, where he has remained ever since, and where we had hoped for years to come to have en joyed the delight which we always derived from witnessing his artistical efforts. But " Alas, poor Yorick." An attack of inflammation of the lungs, which defied the utmost efforts of medical skill, has, in one short week, removed him from the stage of life, and his friends are left to regret his loss, which they feel tip' be irrepotble.

There are very late accounts received from Rio Janeiro to-day, and we are sorry to find by the contents of the com mercial letters that the difficulties in the way of the con struction of a treaty with this country upon a more liberal basis than heretofore desired, are as great as ever. At the same time, it is mentioned in some of our accounts that at heart the Brazilian merchants were not at all pleased by being compelled to throw themselves into the arms of the Germanic Confederation, as they have, from the first, been customers of ours, and found us, as they say, honest and liberal. It is in vain to expect any alteration in the tariff now for some time to come—at least this is the im pression in mercantile circles in the City, and much indeed is it regretted by all parties having intercourse with the Brazils. By the present arrival from Rio Janeiro we do not find that much specie or a very valuable cargo has come to consignees, one of the early indications of an interference with the extension of intercourse, the result of the unwise policy that has been pursued by our present Ministry in keeping up all but prohibitory imposts upon the staple of the Brazils—Sugar. The state of trade at Rio was not of a very satisfactory nature. Exchange 24%.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE was so much flattered by the reception which his former address to his countrymon received from the press and a certain portion of the public, that he has been induced to resume his labours, and has just issued another song of lamentations, which fills more than three columns of our Tory Contemporary, the Morning Post. It is quite refreshing to hear the opinions of a ♦enerable disciple of the Eldon school. They have become obsolete in every society, as well as in both Houses of Parliament, and therefore come before ns almost with the freshness of curious discoveries gleaned from antiquarian re searches. Lord ELDON, when Toryism was in all its pride and glory, resisted every reform in Church and State. He would not allow a peg of the fabric to be touched, and looked with as great revetence on the defects as the beauties of our Constitution. " If you take out a pin," said he, " it will fall to pieces," and the Duke of NEWCASTLE thus follows in the same prophetic strain :—" I have elsewhere stated, some time ago, how that by loosening one stone in the building we have endangered the whole fabric —so, repeal ing the combination laws brought about the re peal of • the Corporation and Teat Act —as a consequence, the emancipation of the Roman Catholics followed—then reform in Parliament—from thence arose a cry against the Church ; to appease this cry the Ecclesiastical Commission was devised the revenues or resources; of the Church Establish ment were to be drained, and exhausted bishoprics and various other dignities abolished—everything done to abuse, humiliate, and impoverish the Church which an improvident meddling could devise, and only stopping where shame forbade to proceed further ; next, the old corporations were destroyed—the Educa tion Bill passed ; and these Acts followed one upon the other—one in consequence of another, and one after the other, were recommended to the Legislature, and the reason why was apparently because the preceding Acts had become law. I will not enumerate many other bad mfasures, such as the new Poor law, Rural Police Act, &c., enacted, no doubt, to restrain that very poverty and crime which confusion and uncertainty had created. My object is to show that one bad precedent begets another, and that this stratagem hay been systematically pursued, as a suru though unperceived mode of stealing a march, of sapping our morality, undermining our civil and religious insti tutions, and, iu fact, of revolutionising the State." He points out the grievances of the present day— such as th 2 Jew.; Bill and the Maynaoth Endow. ; sf:er premising; that, as far as his recollection serves, not one good measure has passed since thc en trance of the present Administration into office, and then proceeds to the remedies ; but we are unable to discover their nature or how they are to be applied. As far as 1V.3 can judge, he has no wish to beat the Mi nister by majorities, end cause him to resign. He would simply starve him to death. Here is the specific, and we leave our readers to judge for themselves : " The time, I believe, is favourable; events, I believe, are ripening, if not ripe. Cast off the dynasty of error, imposture, and impurity; cause it to cease by inanition, and let that of healing and healthy truth prevail ; enthrone it with your free and generous sympathy, your united acclamation, your calm, moderate, but settled and determined resolve." Let us be thankful that it is as hopeless now to re suscitate the old system which the Duke idolises, as it is to raise the dead to life. We have already adverted to the discussion which took place on Friday in the Commons relative to the state of the na'v ; but it is a matter of too much im pertance to be pasicd over without further notice, and we are glad to learn that the question will not be al lowed to rest where it is. The subject will probably be resumed on Friday next, or whenever the navy estimates are again brought forward. It is unnecessary, on this occasion, to dµ ell upon the paramount and indispensable necessity which exists for maintaining the navy in a condition capable of efficient extension at the shortest possible notice, and on a footing of present strength and preparation much beyond the ordinary scale of our peace establishments. To enter into any recapitulation of these reasons would be at one unnecessary and invidious. We take it, however, that there is scarcely one English man in the United Kingdom rho would not support by his vote and sanction the fullest establishment of this constitutional force which may be necessary, having a prudent regard to the existing aspect of foreign relations. The fact is that men see we are perhaps on the verge of one of those political exigencies in which practical ex perience supplies the proof of constitutional theory, as to the readiest, the furthest reaching, the most formida ble, the most national arm of our strength. The navy is the common rallying point of men of all parties who are agreed in attachment to our constitution, whenever the honour and the welfare of the empire appear to be menaced, whether immediately or remotely. Yet to that navy, the nation, indebted as she is to it for her most substantial suc cesses and progress, as well as her most illustrious triumphs, has been but a harsh stepmother ; fond enough of its glory, so conducive to her own greatness, but niggardly and reluctant, withal, in making commen surate provision for its maintenance on a scale of com mensurate liberality. " Britannia," in truth, has, from time to time, manifested something like a cold neglect:in her habitual deportment to this, the noblest of her chil dren. But when she has found it indispensable to invoke its protection and its power, in order to vindicate her rights or her authority, she has unhesitatingly thrown herself into its arms, and rendered it all honour in the sight of nations. The great mischief appears to be that that consideration and cherishing affection, which ought to be permanent and continuous, have hitherto been in termittent. It is not the least of the elements that have constituted the good fortune of this empire, that such a capricious and interrupted treatment has but in a very slight degree estranged the affections of such a progeny. But let her learn caution by the past, and have some better hold on their affections for the future, by a wiser and a more generous course of action. The upholding of our navy should be at all times :the foremost care of the Legislatur e , th e most anx i ous duty of the Executive. We are glad to observe that Mr. WIL LIAMS, representing as he does a section of . the House of Commons which is pledg e d t o t h e most rigorous eco nomic supervision of the publi c expenditure , declared, "If the Government considered it expedient in reference to the state of our foreign relations, to increasethcee navy, he would not oppose that increase, for whatever tended to enhance its efficiency he looked upon as the truest economy." Had this observation preceded the speech of Captain BERKELEY, it would have served as an admirable text for the observations of that Hon. and Gallant Officer. For what was their eject ?

During the past week, up to Saturday evening, the ar rivals of English Wheat hays been reasonably good ; but those of barley, oats, beans and peas were small. Of foreign wheat, barley, and oats, but more especially the two latter articles, the receipts were rather extensive. Fresh up, only a moderate supply of wheat of home produce came to hand from Cambridge and Lincolnshire, while from other parts, the receipts were small. The stands being very scantily supplied with fine parcels of white, that description of pro duce was in steady request, at, in some few instances, an advance in the curriences obtained on Monday of is per quarter; but that improvement was by no means general. In all other qualities only a moderate business was doing, at late rates. Selected parcels of tine Foreign 'Wheat moved off freely, at very full prices; but all other kinds were dull, though not cheaper. Several parcels of bonded Wheat were disposed of for shipment to Belgium and the north of France, at from 28s to 398 per quarter. Notwithstanding the cold winds, the Wheat plants are represented as progressing favourably. We had only a moderate supply of Barley on offer, yet the Barley trade was in a sluggish state, at previous quotations. In Malt very little was doing, with a fair average quantity on offer. Oats were a steady inquiry, and last week's rates were well supported. Beans were dull, but Peas were quite as dear. Flour and Seeds heavy, at late rates.

During the past week, the imports of foreign stock for our market have consisted of 87 Oxen and Cows, together with 15] Sheep, all from Rotterdam, from the Ocean, Batavier, and Columbine steamers. At the outports, about 100 Oxen and Cows have been received. As to the quality of the Beasts, we may observe that it has proved tolerably good, but that of the Sheep has been miserably deficient. We had on offer 40 foreign Beasts, and 20 Sheep, the whole of which were disposed of at fair quotations. The late advance in the value of Mutton here, as well as in most other parts of England, has, at length, had some influence upon that of Beef ; since, although the Bullock supplies on offer this morning were moderately extensive as to numbers (yet it must be observed the condition of the animals was by no means first rate), the Beef trade was active, at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from 2d to 4d per 81bs ; the primest Scots and home breds readily producing 4s 6d per 81bs, and, at which, a clearance was speedily effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,500 Scots, home breds, and short-horns; while the droves from the northern grazing districts comprised 250 short-horns, &c. ; from the Western and Midland Counties, 200 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c.; from other parts of England, 200 of various kinds; and from Scotland, 330 horned and polled Scots. Although the numbers of Sheep were on the increase, the primest Old Downs moved off steadily at from 4s 10d to 5s per albs, but all other breeds were a slow inquiry, and previous rates were not supported in every instance. From the Isle of Wight 240 Lambs came fresh to hand, while the receipts from ether quarters were tolerably good. Prime qualities sold freely, at extreme rates ; and great difficulty was experienced in effecting sales of other kinds. In Calves a fair amount of business was doing at Friday's improved currencies. The I'ork trade was rather dull, yet previous rates were supported.

Those of Lamb (600 carcases) and Pork have proved only moderate. With Meat killed in the metropolis we have been fairly supplied, yet the demand for Beef and Mutton has continued somewhat active, at, in some instances, further improved quotations. In Lamb and Pork very little doing, on somewhet easier terms. Several carcases of foreign Beasts have found buyers, at prices varying from 3s to 3s 4d per 8 lba.

WOOL AZA.II2.3EXIT. At the public sales of Wool, in progress during the week, there has been a full average number of buyers in attendance ; while the biddings have proved spirited, at prices about equal to those paid at the previous auctions. The imports have not exceeded 700 packages. In the private markets a steady business is doing in nearly every description o f b o th English and Foreign Wools, and prices are supported in every instance. TALLOW The price of Tallow is firm, and a very fair business is dcing, both on the spot and for the last three months. Town Tallow is scarce, and may be quoted at 39s net cash. It is reported that the quantity of Tallow to be shipped from St. Petersburgh this year is likely to be ver}• limited. NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE BAZAAR.-(THIS DAY.) The price of admittance to the Bazaar this morning was one shilling, and as might have been expected it was crowded to excess. Very extensive sales seem to have taken place within the last three or four days, for on many of the stalls there is not a single article remaining of those which were exhibited last week—their places however, have been supplied by others. In the lobby of the dress-boxes to-day there was a valuable collection of stuffed birds and animals, well worthy of at tention. The monster cake, which was the great attraction in the refreshment-room, has disappeared. Its place, how ever, is supplied by a monster loaf, aptly labelled , " The forbidden fruit of the Garden of England." In the box lobby of the upper boxes, is a cabinet, which is a wonderful specimen of the ingenuity of the British artisan. From its appearance it might be taken for one of the richly carved, highly -polished oak cabinets of the Tudor era. It is, however, a production of our own times, and is valuable not only as a specimen of British ingenuity, but as a me mento of one of those few-.gifted men to whom it is vouchsafed by Providence to stamp his own cha racter on the age in which he flourishes to become a leader—a trusted leader of thousands of his fellow-men. It is formed of the print blocks which have been used in the calico print works of Mr. Cobden. It is marked at 121. 12s. If the League had marked it at three times that sum we doubt not but that they would readily have obtained it. Perhaps the most interesting part of the exhi bition is the model and machine-room in the upper boxes sa loon. Here we have models of steam-engines, power-looms, blonde making machines, card-making machines, coining machines, stocking weaving machines—all at work; and just at the door of entrance is a .potter fashioning earthenware of the moat elegant shapes out of plaster clay on his potter's wheel. This is, perhaps, the mo s t i n t eres ti ng , cer t e a u ly the mostlifinuctiye portion of the exhibition.
