ARM STRONG to the command of the Madras army is one that does equal honour to the East India Company and to the Gallant General who is the object of their choice. The Gallant General entered the army when he was only 14 years of age, and during a period of fifty years he has b een act i ve l y engaged in the service of his country, having earned every honour and every promotion by his own exertions. To his honour be it spoken, Major. General Sir R. ARMSTRONG has never purchased a commission ; he has fairly fought his way up to the command in the chief of the Madras army, and the Duke of WELLINGTON, in cordially recommending his old comrade for that appointment, merely gave utterance to the universal wish of all who have served with Sir R. ARMSTRONG, and more especially to that of the Madras army, which he had so gallantly led during the Burmese war. Few officers have seen so much and such hard service as Major-General Sir R. ARMSTRONG, and to meet with a more efficient or more practised organizer would be difficult, if not impossible. At the farewell dinner given to him on Saturday by the directors of the East India Company, the Chairman gave the following resume of the distinguished mili tary career of their gallant guest : " Sir Richard Armstrong had commenced his military career at a very early age. He had served in one of her Majesty's regiments at Gibraltar. After an interval of a few years he had sought and obtained a company in another gallant regiment; had assisted at the expedition to Oporto, and had served in the Peninsula under the immediate command of the great captain of the age, the Duke of Wellington.—(Cheers.) He had shared in the glories of the battles of Oporto and Busaco; and Sir Arthur Wellesley, in the dispatch giving an account of that last-mentioned battle, had specially alluded to the gallant conduct of Sir R. Armstrong's regiment.— (Hear, hear.) For his services upon that occasion the gallant officer bad been rewarded with a medal. He had afterwards been employed by Viscount Beresford in organizing the Portuguese army. He had afterwards assisted at the battles of Vittoria and the Pyrenees, and in the latter engagement he had been severely wounded. His services had been again rewarded by a medal. He had afterwards been at the battle of Toulouse. He had subsequently returned to England, while suffering from his wounds. But not wishing to remain inactive he had soon obtained a new command in one of the Royal Regiments ; and that brought him (the Chairman) to the period of the Gallant Gene ral's connexion with the East India Company. Having joined his regiment, he bad served in the army at Madras, and during the Burmese war he had carried several important posts. He had afterwards commanded the southern division of that army, of which the chief command was at present committed to his charge. After having served six years in India, and after having received the thanks of the Commander-in- Chief, be returned but the other day to this country; and he was at present about to go back again to the scene of his former triumphs.—(Cheers.) The East India Company considered it a great advantage that they were enabled to send out to fill the important post of Commander-in-Chief at Madras an officer so admira bly qualified to appreciate the many nobl e an d em i nent qualities of their native army in India.—(Cheers.)" We are rejoiced to find that the directors of the East India Company have determined to seek out for Indian commands officers qualified to appreciate the many and eminent quali ties of the native army in India —an army, the annals of which can show a record of gallant deeds equal in number and in daring to those of any other army in the world. It was the native army of India that won for the Duke of WELLINGTON his first, perhaps most brilliant victory, that of Assaye; and in later times, Jellala bad, the Khyber Pass, Ghuznee, Meanee, Hyderabad, Gwalior, Moodkee, Ferozeshah, Sobraon, Moultan, Goojerat, and other well-fought fields, have shown of what the native army is capable. The appointment of Sir RICHARD ARMSTRONG to the command of his old comrades of the Madras army, on the recommendation of the Duke of WELLINGTON, cannot but be considered by the descendants of the victors of Assaye as a moat flattering compliment. Proud may they be indeed of their Commander, of whom Lord HARDINGE on Saturday said, "that he had known bis Gallant Friend for a period of more than forty years, and that he bad upon every occasion found him remarkable for his gallant conduct in the field, and for his judicious management of the troops entrusted to his care. He bad served most efficiently in the Burmese campaign with the Madras troops, and he would therefore most appropriately return to India to maintain the admirable discipline which characterised the Madras army. He (Viscount HARDINGEI believed, that if that army should ever be called into the field under the command of his Gallant Friend, it would be found that it had not degenerated from those days when it had been led by Sir ART II UR WELLESLEY at the battle of Assaye." _ .

We have to draw attention to the annual report of ,he Times Life Assurance and Guarantee Company, which appears in another part of our columns. It will be in the memory of our readers, that we last year stated it as our opinion that the principles of this company were such as to command success, and cer tainly the annual statement proves the correctness of our opinion, inasmuch as the report states they have issued, during the past year, six hundred and nineteen policies. The principle of public guarantee is daily becoming of greater commercial importance, the lead ing railways and banks seldom accepting private secu rity for the honesty of their employes —an office, there fore, that makes the premiums; or annual payment fur guarantees an investment instead of a tax de serves success, inasmuch as such a practice holds out the highest inducement to honesty and a faithful discharge of duty. This office also combines life assurance with guarantee, reducing the guarantee premiums in such cases to a nominal sum. We shall be glad to hear of their continued succesi. There is no measure in our opinion better calculated to re lieve in a great degree public guarantee of its :ab stract risk than this principle of mutual guarantee, as practised by this office, together with the union of guarantee and life assurance, and we strongly recom mend mercantile firms and public institutions to avail themselves of this system of security. The Times Company, we perceive, have obtained the co- operation of many of the most dis tinguished Manchester manufacturers in carrying out their valuable principle of guarantee, and we have no doubt that in the populous districts of Lancashire the office will find a large field for the exercise of its objects. We sincerely wish success both to the prin ciple of public guarantee, as an important commercial one, and to the Times Life Assurance and Guarantee Company LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAIL WAY.

"I am t h e son of Count DE Rossi," and saying is, he made a motion as if he spat in the face of the Prince. The act of violence having been wit nessed by some frequenters of the café, they inter fered between them. In consequence of the above a hostile meeting took place on Saturday, at Versailles, between the parties, Prince CHA RLES B ONAPARTE and Count EDOUARD R ossi. They first fired at thirty paces, and afterwards at fifteen, but each time with out effect. The seconds then declared that the honour of the parties were satisfied, and prevented the affair going further. Prince CHARLES BONAPARTE then advanced towards the Count Rossi and said to him, " Now that I have received your fire, I am happy, sir, to affirm that I have been infamously calum niated on the subject of the deplorable catastrophe which has thrown your family into mourning." To this honourable declaration Count Rossi replied, " Before this explanation, so honourably given, I re gret my error and the attack which resulted from it."

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday, The Committee of Revision was completed on Sa turday by the election by the 15th Bureau of M. BAZE, the most implacable and uncompromising of the oppo nents of the Elys6e. The following is the composi tien of the Committee:— For the total revision, MM. Moulin, de Corcelles, and probably M. Berryer 3 For the partial revision, MM. de Broglie, de Mon talembert, Dufour, and de Melun 4 Doubtful, MM. Odilon Barrot and do Tocqueville 2 Against all revision, MM. Jules Favre, de Mornay, General Cavaignac, Colonel Charras, Charanaaule, and Baze Total. . l3 It will be seen from the above classification that of the 16 Members of the Committee, four only are friendly to the pretensions of the Elysee, viz.—MM. de I3RoGLIE, de MONTALEMBERT, DUFOUR, and de MELUN. The speech of the PRESIDENT at Dijon has com pletely alienated from him the whole of the Legiti matists. It will be seen from the following report of the proceedings in the 9th Bureau that M. de Fan, noux, hitherto supposed to be most favourably dis posed towards the PRESIDENT, has now declared against him : M. de Falloux—l could not at the present moment accept the labourious office of being a member of the committee which is about to be named. But the gravity of the circumstances, and the presence of the Minister of the Interior in this bureau, impose it on me as a duty to submit to you in a few words my thoughts on what ought to be the aim of each member of the committee. The Moniteur, of the 2d June, was perfectly correct in saying that the interest cf France is superior to that of all parties, and that the Government ought to place itself in a position to be above them all; but it is neither by offensive allusions, nor by violence, that such a mis sion can be accomplished, if even the indication be given that it is understood and will be carefully prosecuted. It must not either be forgotten that in France, parties, in the acceptation, a little elevated and a little political, of the word, represent henceforward something else besides passions or egotism; they represent also interests, principles, and fundamental conditions, which it is not in the power of any person to destroy, but which, on the contrary, ought to be conciliated, and induced to co-operate for the common safety. Do you suppose that you elevate authority in France, when you attack under a false and calumnious name—that of an cient regime —the principles and the men of the mo narchy? Do you suppose that you respect liberty, when you stigmatise at the same time, under the name of fac tions and intrigues, the principles of our thirty years of constitutional government, as well as men, who still preserve some Parliamentary habits and susceptibilities? Do you wish to struggle against anarchical passions, and at the same time to flatter that which is of all things the most anarchical, the goverment of one— to calumniate all the political situations honourably achieved, and all the services which have been honourably rendered? Do you want to endeavour to oppose Utopian scheme, and at the same time to aim at the most chimerical project of all—that of a personal and isolated government, opposing the sole prestige of a name to the real difficulties of each step and each hour? I am profoundly grieved that any official act should call forth such questions. For my part, I have had the honour, for a time, of seconding the President in a quite different policy; I do not consequently think that I am wanting in any respect when I remind him of the fact, or when I persevere in my former course—l never spoke to my friends or my adversaries but such language as permitted every frank and sincere act of conciliation, every honourable effort in view of the good of the country, and of that alone. lam less than ever dis posed to change such sentiments and such lan guage ; but they are entitled to reciprocity, and where that should not be afforded, the country will know how to immediately discern the fact, and the mo tives which prompted it, and the extent of the responsi bility attached to such conduct. In consequence, I pro pose that the member whom we name to the committee, shall support the revision in that sense—that is, in seek ing out in all their liberty and all their extent the real durable wants of the country, and in paying attention absolutely to them alone. And when the Government is thus warned, let it be well understood that such warn ing is not given it through jealousy, but, on the con trary, from a sad prevision of the dangers in which it is placed. Every exclusive power will henceforward ine vitably perish in France—we as well as you—yoa as well as we —and with the first Government that will so perish, all society will run the risk of falling to pieces. The Minister of the Interior—l did not wish to speak in this preliminary discussion. The Government has not taken the initiative in the proposition submitted to you; it belong s to the Assembly. The Government thinks that the Constitution should be revised; it unites in the wish which it considers as being that of the im mense majority in the Assembly and in the country. But until the moment arrives for the public discussion it thinks it its duty to act with great reserve. The bureau will, therefore, permit me to confine myself to this declaration of my opinion without entering into further developments. What has been just stated by the Hon. M. do Falloux obliges me, however, to reply. There are hero three members of the Cabinet formed by the President of the Republic on the 20th of December, 1848. My lion. Friend M. de Falloux has there left souvenirs which will never be effaced from my memory. These souvenirs give me the right to tell him that the policy with which ho inspired the Cabinet of the 20th of December is the same as that which animates the present Ministry. M. de Falloux is mistaken as to the bearing of the speech delivered by the President of the Republic. At a so lemn moment, when the country had its eyes fixed on him, the President was obliged to explain his ideas. He was compelled to say what he was and what he was not, separating himself equally from a past which would not return, and from a chimerical future. The Presi dent of the Republic has been often and unjustly at tacked; he makes use of no reprisals. He explained himselt as to his ideas, and committed no act of ag gression against persons. The Hon. M. de Falloux declines for himself and his political friends any kind of joint responsibility with retrograde doc trines. I accept from my heart this declaration. I al ways thought that he belonged to a generation which was necessarily impregnated with the spirit of the age. I will add that, far from rejecting the co-operation of the Hon. M. de Falloux and of his friends, we call for it with our wishes and our efforts. The Government pro poses, before all things, the union of the two great powers of the State. Far from wishing to divide the majority, it labours to strengthen and to extend it. It believes that the fasces formed by the friends of order is not too compact, and that society requires all its force against anarchy; it knows that tho great shades of opinion of which the majority is composed differ in some tenden cies, but it also believes that these opinions have still more common tendencies, and it would reproach itself if it said a word cr did an act which might compromise that accord on which the safety of all depends. M. de BROGLIE was elected by 23 votes to 13 given to M. MICHEL (de Bourges). In the 4th Bureau M. DE LAROCHEJAQUELIN declared tbat by duty, by reason, and by conscience, he was a Legitimatise, but he would defend the Re public against any bastard Government, and in the 12th Bureau General CAYAIGNAC declared that he should vote against the revision. He should do so on principle and systematically, for the partisans of the monarchy, those of the prolongation of the powers of the present PRESIDENT, and the men who professed a desire to organize the Republic, all asked, as their preliminary step, for the revision. He could not admit that any one had a right to propose return to the monarchy. The country would not really believe in the Republic until the time arrived when the conviction was universal that the PRESIDENT could be easily changed every four years. He desired to see the country assured of that important fact, and for that reason he would vote against any pro longation of powers, even independently of the ques tion of confidence in the present PRESIDENT, which confidence he certainly did not feel. As to the per sons who pretended that they were anxious to amelio rate the Republic, they were only, in his opinion, opening a door to its eventual overthrow. In conse quence, he should vote against every proposition for a revision. And in the 14 Bureau, M. CIIARAMULE, who opposed the revision, was elected ; while M. MOLE, who spoke in favour of it, was rejected. These results show how little reliance can be placed upon the Police-inspired correspondence and articles which appear from time to time in the reactionary journals of London and Paris. It is now admitted on all hands that the proposition for the revision will never obtain the majority required by law, and it is even con sidered probable that it will be absolutely rejected. The PRESIDENT of the Republic is preparing, it is said, for another visit to the departments. The Illes sacrer de l'Assemblie says that he is about to take a trip to Poictiers, Angouleme, and Bordeaux, on the occasion of the inauguration of a section of the Or leans and Bordeaux Railway, which is about to be opened. He will return to Paris by way of Libourne, Perigueux, Limoges and Chateauroux. The Duke DE CAZES and M. MAGNE are about to start to these places to prepare fos the PRESIDENT'S reception. It is supposed that Louis NAPOLEON will be absent for a fortnight from Paris. The Illessager say s _ " We are assured that endeavours are being made at the Elysi3 to compose a Cabinet similar to that of the 31st October, 1849. MM. Abbatucci, the elder, and Mocquard aro the active parties in the affair. It is said that M. Odilon Barret has consented to enter into the Mocquard-Abbatucci Ministry. This is, at least, what the confidential friends of the Elys6o corti;y." A duel took place on Saturday between the Prince DE CANINO and Count EDWARD DE Rossi, the son of the late Minister of the POPE. It appears that on Friday the Prince DE CANINO was dining with friend at a cafe on the Quai d'Orsy, when the waiter told him that a young gentleman was on the outside, and begged him to come out for a moment. " Who is this gentleman?" said the Prince—" ask his name." The waiter went out to do so and returned with the answer "I will give my name to the Prince himself." "As he will not tell me his name," said the Prince, "he must wait until we have finished dinner." This the young gentleman did, taking a seat at one of the tables outside the café. At about eight o'clock the rrinoe riz cAffillo left the café. caroely had ho crowd SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 3d bave arrived. The Duke DE RIVAS has refused the Presidency o ;he Senate. MADRID BOMA, JUNE 3.—Three per Cents. 36 9-16 ; Five per Cents., 16k. Exchange on Lon don, 50 95 money. PORTUGAL. Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the 29th ult. There is no truth whatever in the state ment made in the telegraphic dispatch received in Paris from Madrid that a counter-revolution had broken out in opposition to SALDANIIA. It would appear, however, from the following account, that SALDANHA is likely to become embroiled with England in consequence of his arbitrary proceedings with re spect to British property. The following paper has been circulated in Lisbon : "Portugal is an unfortunate country; no sooner does she release herself from one trouble than she seeks another. The case of the Falcon steam-ship, which has occupied the law courts for the last three years, is now one of the questions likely to be of serious consequence to the Ministry of the dictator. The vessel had been detained at Oporto under an embargo for three years, at a deterioration of two-thirds of her original value; but on the occasion of the embarkation of the revolted troops Saldanha entered into terms with the parties embargoing for her hire, The cupidity of the clique being exces sive, they did not see the consequences such a step might entail. The vessel arrived in the Tagus with the fleet of steamers on the 15th inst., and en the 20th was formally embargoed, by order of the competent court, by her late owner, wh• was in Lisbon, watching for her movements, and the execution of Portuguese law. The vessel was embargoed for and on account of the mort gagee, reserving the:other part of the English claims upon the ship to follow. However, the following day, the 21st instant, an outrage of the most serious and vio lent character was perpetrated by order of the marshal —' Dictator Saldanha,' who ordered the forcible ejec tion of the man from on board, who was in possession, and sent the ship to sea; thus violating the fundamental law of the land, at the risk of a rupture with Great Britain and a loss to the English claimants to the tune of 8,6001. The case has been warmly protested against by the British Minister, and is likely to be a very serious affair to the Duke's Government." GERMAN Y. The Central Federal Commission was dissolved on he 6th, and all the documents were transmitted to he Diet. We read in the lndependance of Brussels of yes terday :—" The resistance which was anticipated in the Prussian provinces to the circular re-establishing provincial diets, is now beginning to make itself seen. In several districts of Silesia, even proprietors of landed property declare that they will not respond to the call of the Government, and the President of the Rhenish province, M. VAUERSWALD, is exceedingly opposed to the measure. This affair occupies men's minds considerably, not only in Prussia, but in Ger many. It cannot, however, be supposed, notwith standing this opposition, that the governmental mea sure will not be fully carried out. The King of PRUSSIA took his departure on the 3d instant for Hanover. It is rumoured that he is to have a con ference there with the King of WUETEMBERG, and that a reconciliation will then take place between the two Sovereigns —kept apart to some extent since the famous speech of the King of WURTEMBERG." " Our letters frem Frankfort," says the Inclipeni ance of Brussels, "state that the Diet appears exceed ingly irritated against Denmark, and that it will not adhere to the arrangement thought of for the succes sion to the throne, a question which it will have to interfere with on account of the sovereignty of Hol stein, and which forms part of the Confederation, which sovereignty must of necessity fall to Prince CHRISTIAN of Glucksburg, should he ascend the throne of Denmark. 'We believe that if Russia and France acquiesce in this arrangement, the opposition of the Diet will not prevent it from being realised, even should the Diet venture to place itself in opposi• tion to Russia, which is not likely." The imperial Gazette of Vienna publi,hes a long account of a review of the troops at Olmutz on the 30th ult., by the Emperors of Russia and AUSTRIA. The military display was grand and impressive, and both Emperors p a id grea t attent i on to Marshal' RA..

Grimes pleasant little opera, founded on Mr. Oxen ford's farce of Twice Killed, which was successfully pro duced at the Adelphi, on Monday, under the title of Good Night, Signor Pantalon, was produced here, with an equal degree or suvcese, on Saturday, under the title of Good Night, Sir ; Pleasant Dreams; Mr. G. Honey sus taining the part of Pantalon in both versions, while at the Haymarket Mr. James Bland is the substitute for Mr. Paul Bedford, Mrs. Caulfield for Miss Woolgar, and Mrs. Fitzwifliam for Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam. This lively, bustling opera was very well acted on Saturday evening, and the audience were kept in a roar of laugh ter during the whole of the performance. The applause which greeted its announcement for repetition was en thusiastic, and the principal performers were called on at the conclusion. --- ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Rachel played Adrienne Lecouvreur on Saturday night, and with all that picturesque and searching effect for which she was so celebrated last year. The great scans where she mortifies the pride of her rival by her quotations from the classic dramatists, was, as usual, a masterpiece of biting and exasperating irony, and told with immense force. The last scene, in which the un fortunate heroine dies under the influence of the poisoned flower, was likewise a triumph of minute and lingering agony; for none, save Rachel, could paint the gradual exhaustion of life with such unexaggerated naturalness, and at the same time with such intense pathos. The reality of the spectacle, in fact, is almost too painful to be witnessed. The applause of the audience was com mensurate with the beauty of the acting, and numerous were the demands for the accomplished artist's appear ance to receive it. Rachel repeats this great melo-dra matio part to-night, and on Wednesday appears as Mdlle. de Belle Isle, the sense character as that which is now being nightly acted by Mrs. Charles Kean at the Prin cess's. The house on Saturday was fully and fashionably attended. DEATH OF W. J. BAGSHAWE, ESQ.—We have this week to record the death of our worthy magistrate, Wil liam John Bagshawe, Esq. He expired early on the morn ing of the Ist instant, at his residence, at the Oaks, after a severe and very protracted illness. His death will be re gretted as a great public bereavement. The untiring energy with which he has devoted himself to the work of the public has entirely won the esteem of the neighbourhood, and will be long remembered as doing him honour. He has for many years past been one of our most active magistrates, and has also filled the offi ce o f c h airman to the Ecclesall board of guardians ever since it was constituted. To him belongs the honour of having been the founder, patron, and a liberal sup porter of the Norton Agricultural Society. His death, it is believed, has been induced in some measure by the severity of his exertion, and we have no doubt his unceasing labour in the cause of the public has tended to hasten the untoward event. His remains are to be interred at twelve o'clock to day, at Norton Church. We understand our bench of magis trates have intimated their intention of being present on the melancholy occ as i on , to pay a last tribute of respect to the The memory of one so d eserve dl y esteemed by t h em. pworerstshy gentleman was in his 58th year.—Shegield Free ADVERTISING VANS AND POOR MUSICIANS.—On Saturday Colonel Sibthorp's Bill for further "improving" the police in the metropolis and city of London was; printed. The Gallant Colonel proposes to prohibit advertising vans, and also poor musicians from playing in the streets, under a penalty of 405., and, of course, commitment. A police constable seeing such an outrage is to b© empowered (if Par.. liarnent should approve of the suggestion) to take the offen.. derinto custody. ST.

Stalls and Dress Circle LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 9, 185 When Mr. Humes amendment, limiting the dura tion of the property and income-tax to a single year was carried by a majority of 14 in a crowded and overflowing House, we heartily congratulated the community in general, and the fiscal and financial reformers in particular, on that auspicious result. The object of the motion was clearly and unequivo cally expressed. There could be no doubt or mis apprehension on the subject. The term was abridged "with the view of instituting an inquiry by a Select Committee into the mode of assessing and collecting the tax," and of ascertaining "whether the injustice of levying the same rate of charge upon terminable and perpetual annuities, and upon fluctuating and varying incomes from trades and professions, as upon fixed incomes from real property, could not be greatly modified or altogether removed." All parties accepted that decision ; Lord Joan Rummel, used the most emphatic language in speaking of the good faith of Ministers. He declared that "the Government was prepared to agree that there should be a fair and full inquiry upon the subject ;" and " that it would be neither fair nor wise to attempt to refuse or evade that inquiry." At the same time the Noble Lord made an urgent appeal to those Hon. Gentlemen who bad given notices of various amend ments against any alterations being insisted on until the promised and anxiously looked-for investi gation had taken place, and the report was published and in the bands of the public. Confiding in the unequivocal promise of the Noble Lord, we unwillingly assented to the continuance of the existing system for twelve months more. We felt the gross absurdity of placing the income of the merchant, manufacturer, or trader, of the artist, author, legal or medical practitioner, in the same class with that of the fundholder or landowner—of making one party contribute to the liquidation of the public liabilities, and the mainteinance of the national establishments twenty or thirty times as much, in proportion to his actual means and resources, as was demanded from his more fortunate neighbour— of so palpably favouring the drones in the national hive at the expense of the industrious bees. Although the matter might require some time and consideration before a final arrangement could be entered into, under which each man should bear his exact proportion of the public burdens, it seemed easy enough to improve the present system, which appeared about the very , worst that could have been devised. Having sub mitted to it, albeit with a bad grace, for nine tedious years, we made up our minds to bear it for a tenth, lest our slippery opponent might en deavour to make the temporary enactments that might be sanctioned the basis of permanent legisla tion, under which the industrious classes would still have many well-grounded causes of complaint. We confess, however, that we entertained some misgivings when we saw the Bill going through its various stages sub silentio, without discussion or con test, while there was no attempt made to nominate the Committee from whose labours so much was expected. Sir CHARLES WOOD had enunciated strange views in reference to such Committees on former occasions. The Right Honourable Baronet seemed to think that the nature of the decision should be known, the verdict deter mined on, before any portion of the evidence on which that verdict should be founded had been de livered. So far as he was concerned, we would not abate a particle of our rights, and would not have suffered the Bill to make any progress until the constitution of the Se lect Committee had been known and ap proved of. The solemn pledge of the PREMIER, however, disarmed our suspicions, as we con ce i ve d i t utterly impossible that any subordinate would ven ture to bring the character and honour of his leader into disrepute, by resorting to any tricks or evasions after such solemn pledges had been given.to, and ac cepted by, the majority. mT phmee evenin g li l Members dh Unfortunately, however, we reckoned without our host. Henceforward we shall place no faith in Prime Ministers. We must say that we are deeply and bitterly disappointed at the conduct of Lord Joan Russel. in reference to this transaction. Five weeks of the busiest and most active part of the session have elapsed since, after full time for delibe ration,Whitsuntide he made those promises to which we have re ferred, A anu Willits IS THE COMMITTEE ? The even been holidays have commenced and the in clllirY has not been entered on. The tribunal has not and it is no w constituted before which it is to take place, pretty evident that unless the Honour who, according to the usual etiquette is able Memb er entitled to nominate the Members to serve upon that Committee, should surrender his privilege into the Finance, and consent to a majority, no, investigatio n whatsoever hands of the Minister of will take t to i t hen serve,reference veteran e t ar na nd ile: The proceedings of Frid a y place.hoat a l important subject are positively • disgraceful mode in which ;ties concerned.

We recollect that Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN was sent i t custody of the Sergeant -at-Arms to the cellar for I Fimilar re fusal. But now hi s example is followed by t h e l ea ding Members o f t h e House, and they are perm i tte d t o avoid the punishment and derision to which the un fortunate gentleman whose name we have mentioned was subjected. IV.r. HMO NW now Abandoned the matter IA dis' HOLIDAYS AT THE STAMP -OFFICE, &c.--This day and to-morrow will be kept as a holiday at the office of Stamps and Taxes, Somerset House. SUPPOSED MURDER.—A sensation was created on Saturday in the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell, by the dis covery of the mutilated body of an infant in an uninished house in Percy-square; and at half-past eleven o'clock an inquest was holden at the workhouse of the parish, before Mr. Wakley, M.P., when the district surgeon, Mr. Taylor, stated that the body was so decomposed that he could not account for its death, and an open verdict to that effect was returned, leaving the further investigation to the police. A NOVEL MODE OF SPARROW SIIOOTING.—Last Saturday afternoon two men of colour, apparently Hindoos, and exceedingly well attired, were observed, "killing time" by amusing th emse l ves in " killing sparrows, " which acts they achieved in the following singular manner :—Having taken up their position in Cumberland Haymarket, near the Regent's -park, where the above birds are pretty numerous, they waited until the game settled on some spot within the reac h of their projectile range, when, by applying a f t o t r en th d e ed ab w ov it e h purpo fatal se e ffect a bamb oo cane to their mouths, they dismissed a shot at the rn su a r d e e to use be of object of th e i r aim, which, in five instances out of six, was s' consisted T o h f e h a l) sembling greatly boys' marblesit is - h r e d l e c t i s ay t , h r e e y . ing to notice with what accuracy ; and was truly aston and precision these expert fowlers struck the bi r d s at which they levelled their deadly tubes. When within fifteen paces o f t h e object their aim proved unerring, and during the short interval of time they continued to exercise their sportive pursuit they managed to nearly two dozen sp secure arrows, which they consigned to a small basket, and walked out o f the market, apparently highly gratified with tht remit of their remunerative ad - venture. 9, 1851.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 500 on speculation. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham, at 63-d. to 74d.; 200 Bahia, at 6' 4 - I d. to 7d.; 200 Egyptian. at 61d. to 74d.; and 400 Surat, at 31d. to 41-d. per lb. The market closed steadily at previous prices.—Railway Shares were very inactive. There has been an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter in Wheat this morning. The public sales of Wool concluded on Saturday evening, the whole quantity put up being 51,762 baler, which went at Id. to lid. decline on the prices of last February. The attendance of home buyers has been good throughout, while those from the Continent, owing to the prevailing dulness in their commercial affairs, were but few. The sales opened at a reduction of about Id. per lb. on last February rates. Previous to their commencement buyers had become quite bare of stock, but as soon as they bad supplied their immediat e wants, w i th the prospect before them o ' , large sales again in July. they become less anxious to purchase freely at the same rates, causing a further de cline, which continued without alteration to the close, making an average reduction of about lid. P er lb. Whil e a f a i r business is yet going on in our manu facturing districts, the general activity noticed go° months since is considerably diminished, and, o rders noi , being gi ven out so freely, consumers are not at pre sent dispos e d t o l ay i n stocks, but purchase only f o ,t, their present wants. High-priced Wool, as well as South Austr a li an and Cape flocks, have more sensibly felt th e re d uct i on than middle qualities, w hich appear to have b een most i n demand. The con di t i on of many flocks, owing to the want of water, was net 5° good as last year. But a small proportion of Sycluel, Wool arrived in time t o b e i nc l u d ed i n these sa l es . East India, owing to the scarc i ty of low fore i gn W oo l, sold at very satisfatory rates. The usual course of the Money m a rket while th e t stock transfer books a r e c l ose d for Consols, &c., is to . wards a slight degr ee o f str i ngency, b at the coun ters% ing causes now in op erat i on w ill probably preve nt this from the present date until the payment of the dividends next month. Th ere i s some appearance, certa i n ly, o f loans being more freely taken from the Bank of Eng: land, as the item of other securities, including pap er under discount, s t oc k, an d Exchequer. bills, has creased, but this has not enhanced the rate charge The whole force of the recent considerable bullion Im ports will not be f e lt h ero, part of the money that c°,ll2:s being received in transitu, and accordingly we find a largo amount of silver and some gold was again .ex ported from L on d on during the week ending last Thor' day, the l a t es t to which we have any official retu rn. e xcess This is really n o su bj ect f or regret, however, an of specie being a great clog, and very embarrassing to the banks. W e see t hi s most conspicuously in the cull' of the Bank of F rance an d the Bank of Belgium, w hich have more bulli on t h an note circulation, and must su in their profits. The steamer from the United States advises no it ll. portant change in the Money market. The:Teviot with the Brazilian mail brings dates of M e i 9 from Rio de Janeiro, May 18 from Pernambuco , I n_, April 26 from Bu enos A yres. The Money mar ket Buenos Ayres had b een rat h er unsettled, owing to symptoms of an ana rc hi ca l sp i r i t i n Entre-rios. In 1,„,, sto ck of a m o d erate b us i ness had been done, but the stt g , of dry good s was excess i ve. Exports had been rata., ra active. The Stock Market has been very quiet and firm. The large amou n t o f b u l lion received from Mexico, t United States, &a, should have had a favourable influenc e in stimulating prices, but that the amount of business doing is so and small. Consolslhave been 97i t o 9 8 f or ,Trans fer i " co, 98i to for July. This comparatively h rate ° ntinuation" would lead to the inference high that the Bulls have great confidence. The New Theee-andth4l; Quarter per C ents , h ave been marked 98k to I-, un el : l 4 Three per Cent s . 97k to Bank Sto c k h as been St'''. to 212. Exchequer -bills have been firm at the premium of 435. to 465., and India Bonds at 565. Foreign Securities have been fluctuating according tO the tenor of the news from abroad. Mexican Bon us opened well at 34i to 35, a remittance of 51,000 dollars having come forward for the dividends, but there has be an a reaction since to 34i 3-, owing to the following comme . '"' nication from M. Falconnet, the agent of the bondholder s: The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have re ceived advices from Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico, the 3d ultimo. He had, since his last, principally been en gaged in endeavouring to obtain the accounts of the produce of those branches of the revenue, which had belonged to the bondholders, down to the 31st of Decemb er l ast, i n which, however, be has as Ye` been unsuccessful. Mr. Yanez, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had taken the direction of the Ministry of Fi nance, and bad submitted the plan of ways and means to the Chamber. The packet has brought 51,000 dolls. to Col. Facio, on account of the dividends." Peruvian Stock has been marked 861 d for the Five per Cents. The later accounts from Lisbon do not, in the slightest degree, corroborate the report of a counter revolution, and the Four per Cent. Stock has accordingly recovered to 33i k. Danish Bonds have been 103 k. Venezuela are 32k. Spanish Five per Cents. have been buoyant at 20i Russian Five per Cents, are 1121.
