Th e journal L'Ecole Aricole expresses, however, some doubts whether the reduced prices will not be followed by a reaction, as they have been ea ct . ~.used chiefly by foreign arrivals, which are not likely to c on ti nue upon a sufficient scale to prevent a io n At Marseilles on Saturday only one cargo arrived. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £638 over last year. The traffic of the Cape Railway for the month of March Was £5,030, against £4,244 in March last year. The following, in reference to the LOndon Colonial Wool sal es , is from the Leeds Mercury :—" The monetary question is one of serious moment, for the total amount required to lift the two great sales of colonial wool will touch between nine and ten millions of money, to be added to which there is the English Clip, German fairs, &c., &c., so that an abundance of Money, and a low rate of interest, will have an im portant effect on the value of wool during the anxious months of harvest, on the fruitful production of which so much will this year depend. The general state of the woollen trade can scarcely be quoted brisk, and any variation from its present condition would tell Most seriously on the price of the raw material, the growth of which is now ample, even for a good, sound. and prosperous trade." At the fifty-fourth annual meeting of the Scottish Widows' Fund Life Assurance Society, held at Edin burgh on the 22nd instant, it was reported that assur ances had been effected in 18G7 for sums amounting to 811,411, yielding a premium revenue of .£27,595, that 2,22 membersaims for had died during the year, giving ri fe to c .£337,281, and that £169,876 had been lastaoled t o t h e realised fund, which at 3 1 s t D ec ember amounted to £4,541,871.

This morning the Fenian convict, Michael Barrett, expiated his great crime on the scaffold in front of the gaol of Newgate, in the presence of a vast con course of people. The crowd was, to a large extent, composed of a better class of persons than usually assemble at executions there, and the prevailing behaviour was in accordance. A large open space was kept by the police in front of the scaffold, so that the crowd at first sight did not appear so great as it really was. The convict retired to rest last evening about 10 o'clock, but passed a some what restless night. At 6 this morning he rose, dressed himself, and engaged in prayer. Shortly afterwards he was joined by the Rev. J ames Hussey, from the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moor fields, by whom he has been attended since his conviction, and who remained with him to the last. It is understood that in the course of the morning he received the last Sacrament of the Church from his priest. All along, according to Mr. Hussey, he had borne himself with great ains f or titude, and given much satisfaction by the p he had taken to prepare himself for his end, and the docile and affectionate manner in which he re ceived the consolation of religion. He died with out making any confession, so far as the public are concerned. What took place between him and his priest in reference to the crime may never be divulged. All that is known is, that he gave " immense satisfaction" to the clergyman who at tended him in his last moments, to use that gentle man's own expression. A course altogether unusual was adopted by the authorities, iu one respect, in the arrangements immediately preceding the execution. Instead of being conducted to the press-room to be pinioned, the convict was pinioned in his cell in the presence of the Under-Sheriffs, and thence conducted by a way entirely private and unusual to the scaffold. This he mounted with a firm step, accompanied by his priest and attended by the executioner. The moment he appeared upon the drop a kind of cheer broke from the crowd, which swayed about with the wildest excitement. The preparations were soon made, and to the last moment the Rev. Mr. Hussey continued to utter words of consolation to the doomed man, whose responses were indicated by the motions of the lips, concealed though the mouth was by the cap which had been drawn over the features. The drop at length fell, and piercing shrieks from women in the crowd rent the air for a moment, and that indescribable hum peculiar to such occasions broke upon the ear. The convict, who had great muscular strength, appeared to die slowly. It is a noteworthy circumstance that after his conviction he was never heard by those in attend ance upon him to deny his guilt. Whenever he re ferred to the crime he always said he was convicted on insufficient evidence, and that he was not guilty of murder. .1114RKETS.—(7 his Day.) COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.

The Attorney-General stated this was au infor mation, in which it was prayed that an account may be taken of all fees and moneys received by the de fendant, or any person on his behalf, as Clerk of the Patents, since the date of his appointment, and also of all moneys received by him from the Trea sury as expenses of the office. It was also prayed that in taking the accounts the defendant ought to ac count for all profits made by the purchase and re s de of cert. - tin statuus, and that no deductions for the parchments used should be made. The information having been received in its entirey, the answer of Mr. Edmunds was then read, in which he contended that the Cuurt of Chancery was the proper court in which the ques tion ought to be argued.. The document concluded with a summary of the claims and allowances to which he (Mr. Edmunds) considered himself entitle], it was as follows Over payinaits to the Exchequer on the 12.10 account for 1833 to 1814 inclusive, £2,837 7s. 101 ; due on the gene ral account £299 ls. 103. ; for moneys paid in mis take were over £l3O 17s. 2d. ; ditto on the accounts with the Treasuay from 1852 to 1861, £6 Bs. 3d. ; amount of discount allowances oa the sum of £183,222 15s. 6d. ; cash receipts and pay ments at 2- per cent., £4,580, making a total of £7,846 15s. ld. lie also claimed to be paid proper interest on any balances which may be found due to him on taking such accounts as prayed for. Mr. Edmunds states that during 31 years he held the office he was responsible for the receipt of £1,600,000. It was also contended on the part of the defend ant that the purchase of stamps was a great benefit to the public, and that they were not bought out of the public monies, and that instead of a misap propriation on the part of the defendant, all the transactions now in question were right and proper. The case will last for some days. THE COURT OF EXCHEQUER. LLOYD V. BURRUP AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, incumbent of St. Mark's, Kennington, against the defendants, who are the churchwardens of that parish. One of the defendants allowed judgment to go by default. Many of our readers have no doubt been aware that for some time past and since Mr. Lloyd's appointment a series of contentions have arisen be tween himself and the parishioners in consequence of his having introduced certain practices in the performance of public worship which are repugnant to the feeling of the congregation, who are principally of the 1.43 W Church party. Th e s tip en d o f th e plaintiff was to be paid from the rents of the pews, and any surplus that might remain was to be em ployed towards the repairing, lighting, and main taining the church. The defendant and his col league had received different small sums, a portion of which he laid out in the repairing, &c., of the f oun d a ti o n, leaving a deficiency in the amount of the plaintiff's stipend. He contended that the whole to him should be paid before a mount itt duo should b e app li e d to any h Witnesses having been examined oter purpose.a of farthing the on both sides, the counsel for the defendant de murred to the pleadings, and, after a long argu ment, a verdict was entered for the plaintiff on one count and the defendant on the other, with leave to move. Under these circumstances the point raised wi' come on for argument before the full court. POLICE .IIVTELL I GENCE.—TaIS DAY. MARLBOROUGII-STREEr. ASSAULT.--ALLEGED VIOLENCE OF TIIE POLICE. —John Rook, a young man, Was charged with assaulting police-constables Brown, 157 C, and Gray, 53 F. Brown said that on the previous afternoon he saw th e prisoner ejected from the King's Arms, Moor-street, St. Martin's4ane, by the barns in, and th,-! prisoner then. tried to re-enter the house, but was prevented. He told the prisoner to go away, but he refused, and a crowd of persons col lected, upon which the prisoner s Lid, " You fool, the crowd are laughing at you." Finding he could not get rid of the prisoner he took him into cus tody, and on the way to the station be kicked threw him down, and then kicked him on the shoul der. With th e ass i stance of t h ree ot h er consta bl es the prisoner w as got to the station, behaving with violence all th e way. In answer t o M r. Knox, the consta bl e sa id th e prisoner was drunk. The prisoner said that he was standing at the corner of the s t reet when the consta b le came up and told him t o go away, aud, because he did not, he took him int o custody, and when the po li ce too k him into Compt on-street they pul l e d h i m a b out an d handled him roughly, and the people called out 6' Ehame I" a n d hi s arm seemed i f i t was b ro k en. Gray said th a t h e went to t h e ass i stance o f t h e first witness, when the prisoner behaved very vio lently and struck him (Gray). Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether he meant to persist in the statement he had made, and on his saying that he did, Alr. Knox said that he would not take upon himself to decide the case, but would send it before a jury. James llarvey, barman at the King's Arms, was then sent for, and he stated that he ejected the pri soner, who was drunk, from the house, because he made use of abusive and disgusting language to two females, and the prisoner afterwards, because be was not allowed to re-enter, tried to break a pane of glass. The constable then came up, and told the prisoner to go away, and as he would not the con stable took hi m away. In answer to the prisoner, all the witnesses Shame." stated that th ey did not hear any one cry out The prisoner said that he had witnesses, and Mr. Knox ordered theta to be called, but they did not answer. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial, and stated that the prisoner would have an opportu nity of calling these or any witnesses he thought proper. IMPERIAL BARLIAIVIEM:' HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD CuANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE LABOURERS AND ARTIZANS PETITION BILL. Lord PORTMAN presented a petition against this bill, and appealed to his noble and learned friend opposite (Lord Chelmsford) to press for a select committee. Lord CHELMSFORD, in presenting a counter petition from the inhabit Ants of BloomsbUry, hoped that his noble friend would not press for a select committee, but that it should come before the whele house. Lord MALMESBURY said that his noble and learned friend must know that the bill was a very complicated one, and could not be easily discussed. lie hord that he would allow it to be taken upstairs, and although he could not attend, still that the noble and IL.,:trn at lord on the woolsack probably could.

Bill he should movo an amendment to the second clause to the effact that any par son Using appointed to Maynooth CoHess should hold th 3 appointment subject to the decision of Parliament. EX-GOVERNOR EYRE. Mr. LIMONT gave notice of hi 3 intention to ask her Majesty's Government whether they intendod to d3fray the expenses ex-GovernorEyre had been pat to in defend ing hims3lf against a malignant prosecution. (laonmso Leering.) PARTY PROCESSIONS ACT (IRELAND). In reply to Sir F. lIETGATE, The E►rl of MAYO said thorn was no intention at pro- sent to repeal the Party Processions Act, as there was no doubt about the actual bearing of the law on tha subject. WEST INDIA MAILS. Mr. GILPIN ailcod th 3 Secretary to the Treasury if any decision had been arrived at as to th i substitution of another island for that of St. Thomes, as the harbour and &pot of the West India. and Pacific mails; and, if he would consent that no changa or renewal of the ex isting contract shall be sanctioned by the Government till the whole subject had boon submitted to the examination of a committee of that house, with power to take evidence. Mr. BOOTH said th, present contract had been ex tended for a limited period, but that a port instead of that of St. Thomas was being thought of. To refer the matter to a committee would not facilitate the proceeding. THE ASHTON RIOTS. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Secrotary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been seriously called •to the frequent in stances of riot and disturbance, injury to person and destruction of property, caused in certain districts of this country by the addresses of a person named Murphy, and his colleagues ; and whether he could give any assurance to the house that the delivery of such addresses could be prevented for the future ? The hon. morrber referred at some length to the riots that inva riably followed the appear,mco of Mr. Murphy, and such a state of things occurred that it was a disgrace to a Christian country. That person hal stated that there could bo no tranquillity for Ireland until every Catholic priest was hanged, and ho could net, in sufficiently strong terms denounce tho use of such language as that. Alrealy 110 shops, two chapels, a school, and two priests' houses had been destroyed, and he wanted to know what the Go vernment proposed to do, as that person had announced his intention of doing all in his power to inflame the reli gious passions of the people in Manchester and other places. His discourses were most objectionable, and he for one would ask his (Mr. Maguire's) countrymen to take no notice of what Murphy said, but he knew that was asking more than human nature could withstand. He had now to ask the Government in the name of 200 me morialists to investigate the cause of the late riots at Ashton. -------- Mr. HARDY said every ode must fool how disgraceful these riots in the north had boon, and ho could not suffi ciently deprecate the disgraceful scenes that had taken place at Ashton. He thought the magistrates had done their duty on the occasion. The origin of the riot an loubted ly was the delivery of a lecture by a person of the name of Murphy. He had bean asked whether it was the iuton 'lon of tho Government to prevent such scenes for the uture, but the manner in which such persons gave the ectures prevented to a groat degree any interference with They usually took a ro ►:u, or els) they put up au !tern. ;traction th'y earriod with thvu, dun th 3 a .Iruis6ioa was by tielwt, tikirofora it wzs nit al 00:1 air moi:tin4,,, and therefore the law wts not contravene I, b 33.11133 there .vas no law which p:oventad the d ;livery of clatraversid kctures.

' If, however, Ituguage of a soditioui or bltsphemou3 IIaILICO Was Ili) that the law was quite equal to take eigitizattee of, but ho was not ab:e to suppress noee of a controvcrsi tl elptrae ter ; but he might sty it WAS opal to the local autlteri.ios to swear a i information that a brea , :h of tho pane was in tended, and proper steps wouli at once be taken to preserve it. When he first row:yea the info:mation of what was going on ho imm:diately tel,:graphod back offering mili tary assistance, but that was declined. He thought if for the future the requisite information was sworr, and special constables swora in, enough would he done to preserve the public peace.' If not, ho hal taken care to lot it be generally known that Government was quite ready to give the utmost assistance wherever it was required. He did not think after what he had stated that it would be necessary to issue a com mission, especially as there were a great many persons who would have to take their trial, and he cause of the disturbance would come oat during the course of the trials. Ile had again, therefore, to say, that the Govern ment were quite ready to give every support to local authority. Mr. M. GIBSON defended the magistrates at Ashton. He said that they had, in his opinion, acted most dis creetly, and a great deal of good would doubtless result if the supporters of Orange toa partios—(laughter)—ware to moderate their ardour. (Laughter.) Mr. WHALLEY said he thought Mr. Murphy most honest, truthful, and careful in his statena?uts—(loud cries of " Oh, oh")—and a great deal of what had been said against him was quite opposed to the fact. Mr. MA.GUIRE rose to order. Ho wished to know whether it was parliamentary for ono member to delibaratAy insinuate that auother clamber had uttered a lie. (Laughter and cheers.) The SPEAKER—Certainly not. Mr. WHALLEY contrived to address the hone , , but eventually resumed his seat by stating he was quite will ing to answer for every statement of Murphy. Sir G. BOWYER said it was quite tine that these meet ings should be put au end to. (Hoar, hear.) lie bad boon present at one held at Chelmsford, when language was held there of the most exciting description. The honourable baronet said the lecturer assorted that all Raman Catholics in England ought to be burned, and he further excited the people to go and burn down the neighbouring convent at Newhall. He thought the Sec retary of State was bound to interfere, because it appeared quite clear that those meetings wore not for discussion, bat for outrage and crime. NEWDEGATE rejoiced at the answer the Home Secretary had given. He did not think that all bla.nc was on one side, because on ono occasion two or three persons were knocked down before Mr. Murphy had opened his mouth. He believed the book the " Confessional Unonsked" was an immoral book, and therefore it ought not to be allowed to circulate. But what was to be said when this book was introdu:ced into a family by the relative of a priest. (Oh, oh.) Ho did not believe the Protestants were the first aggressors in Birmingham or in Ashton. It the hon. member for Cork again brought the matter forward he hoped he would give proper notice of his intention of doing so. (Oh, oh.) Mr. PAULL thought the present occasion most incon venient for the discussion. The subject then dropped. THE CONVICT BARRETT. Mr. BRIGHT rose with extreme pain and under great responsibility to ask the intention of the Government with respect to the convict Barrett. Two respites had already taken place in order that certain matters might be in quired into at GI tsgow with a view of ascertaining the truth in the matter, which was one of life or death. Ho had been told that . the Chief Justice had considered the case, and that the twilit of such con sideration was against the prisoner. Ile had boon told by persons of authority that the conviction of Barrett could not be sustained by the evidence, and t hat it was in the power of the Secretary of State to have the man retried on another charge of murder, and if such a course was adopted it was a matter that would give satisfaction to the . public mind. He begged to ask the right hon. gentleman the clurso he intended to pursue ? Mr. HARDY said ho hal not to complain of the manner in which this momentous subject had been brought for ward. An alibi had been set up by the prisoner, but it had failed. A memorial had also boon presented to him, and he had sent the necessary documents to the learned judges who tried the case, and they had both come to the con clusion that the verdict was sustained by the evidence' and he (Mr. Hardy) had no doubt in his own mind that the man was guilty of the charge made against him. THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. The House ` then went into Committee on the Scotch Reform Bill, and the first business was to reverse the vuto on Mr. Bouverie's amendment, which led to asudden stop page of the 1411 It* Monday, .Pr WU ( moved for the purpose by the Lord Advocate, and accepted by Mr. Moncroiff on behalf of the Scotch Liberal membeis. It underwent some discussion, and was - amended in one or two particulars ; and as ultimately agreed to it provides that no man shall vote who, within the preceding 12 3nonths, has been exempted from payment of poor-rates on Account of poverty, who has not, ou the 20th of July, paid all the rates payable by him up to the preceding May 15, or who has been within the preceding 12 mouths in the receipt of Parochial relief. Clause 3, which regulates the borough franchise, was then agreed to. Clause 4, the county ownership franchise, was agreed to after a slight amendment, a proposal by Sir E. Cole brooke to restrict the franchise to persons occupying a residence within the county being rejected. in clause 5, thil county occupation franchi.e was changed from £l2 rateable value to £ll gross annull value, and the ratepay bag r.quirements were amended so as to correspond with the alterations in the borough franchise clause. Clause 6, which provides that the third member given to Glasgow shall be elected on the minority principle," ivas pea' ponid, and clause 7 was al-reed tor. On Cl lase B—the first of the Rodistriba i 0:3113!S —a m.,t:ou I y Mr. Lrwther to postpone this hart of the MI led to a revival of the d.tbi)t3 on Mr. Baxt,e3 instruction. in in eking it Mx Lowther spoke very strongly against an increase in tho present nrinotonons Scotch representation, and cdvisA the house bebre stlyertioning the mcm'iers to ascert. tin hos tunny it w.tnitl have at its disposal. Too motion for aljntrutuent was suppoi.i.ed b 1 Sir L. Palk, M. Beresford Hope, Mr. G. Bruce, who o',jected to increasing, the - number of Scotch members at the expense of England ; by Mr. Smollett, who insisted that the redis tribution schedules required to be reruo lelieJ ; by Colonel French, who advocated the c.ins:)l:dation of Scotch coun ties; by Mr. Hayter, Mr. H. Bailli r, and Mr. Harvey. Mr. Baxter opposed postponement, and Mr. GLADSTONE strongly deprecated reviving a dis cussion already settled. R•ssponding to urgent appeals from Mr. Sandford, Mr Baillie, and Mr. Moncreiff, Mr. DISRAELI explained the views of the Govern ment, premising that he could not consent to any post ponement, and urging the house to push on with the bill, so as to facilitate an early dissolution. The original plan of the Government contemplated giving Scotland Seven members by an addition to the numbers of the house, but this substraction of seven from the English mem bers he pointed out inido a difference of 14 on the bal ance between the two countries. Still he was willing to abide by his original proposal to give seven members to Scotland, and to adopt the principle of Mr. Baxter's in structiou—disagreeable as it was to him—as far as was necessary for that purpose. These seven members he would thus dispose of. An additional member would ba given to the counties of Ayr, Aberdeen, and Lanark, and to the cities of Glasgow and Dandee. The four Scotch Universities would get two members between thorn, and a member would be obtained for a group of border boroughs by consolidating the counties of Peebles and Selkirk. Be yound this he urged the Committee seriously not to go, looking to the expediency of effecting a settlement in the shortest possible time. . . . Mr. GLADSTONE expressed his intention to support the more extended scheme of ➢lr. Baxter, and Mr. BRIGHT took the same view, protesting against the idea of treating England and Scotland as two separate countries, and urging the Conservatives to permit their leader to settle the question on a liberal and lasting basis. Mr. WALPOLE held that the house was bound to ad here to the settlement of last year, of which ho contended an essential part was that no borough should be disfran chised, and that the just increase to the numbers of Scotch members should be made by an iucreaso to tho numbers of the house. Mr. BOUVERIE asked for some time to consider the new plan of the Government, which he admitted to be superior to the first ; but the opinion of the committee was so strongly opposed to delay that he did not press it, and after some further conversation, Mr. Lowther withdrew his motion for postponement. Mr. BAXTER then proposed his counter-scheme of re distribution by which he disposes of ten members. Iu its original form it gave an additional member to the counties of Lanark, Ayr, Aberdeen, and Perth, to the cities of Edin burgh, Aberdeen, and Dundee, two additional members to Glasgow and one member to the four Universities. But after some conversation he agreed, on the suggestion of of Mr. G. Duff, to give two members to the Universities, and this change was effected at the expense of the county of Perth, which was deprived of its promised addition. There was a long conversation, turning more on the manner of putting tho question than on its merits. Ulti mately the division was taken technically on the question whether Glasgow shall have three members, as the Go vernment propose, or four, as Mr. Baxter's plan suggests and the result was a majority of 39 in favour of tho Go vernment —261 to 222. Upon this, Mr. Disraeli rose and suggested that, with a view to expedite the hill, the committee, after this decisive decision, should at once adopt the Government plan. Mr. Moncreiff, however, supported by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bouverie, objected to going on, and moved to re port progress; but a very strong indisposition was mani fested by the committee to pausing at this point, and Mr. Baxter intimated that after the vote just given he would not per,:eve o further with his plan. Tic new redistribu tion scheme of the Goverumueut, giving in additional mem ber each to Ayrshire, Lanarkshiro, Aberdeenshire, Glas gow, aad Dundee, and two of the Siotch Universities, was thou embodied in clause 8. Mr. M'Larcu and Colo nel Sykes made an uaavailing ell'o:t to o lotaiu an addi tional member for E liuburgh ant A kned,on, but received no encouragement to go t o a , divi s i va . The propisal to grow; the counties of Seikirkstaire and Peebles-shire fur the s d:uof a group of Border borou.;lis was postponed. Sir L. PALI next moved his proviso, that nothing in the bill shall reduce the representation of England and Irauld. He maintained that there was a bargain last year that the English schema of redistribution should be ti a l l, and he recommended that the ten seats obtained by Mr. Baxter's instruction should be gives to English coun ties and largo towns. Mr. DISItAELI, though sympathizing with Sir L. Palli's object, objected to the proviso on practical grounds, pointing out that it would reopen the Eng Hill bill. On a division the proviso was rejected by 262 to 95. Clause 8 was agreed to, an I the further progress of the bill was adjourned until Thursday. The Electric Telegraphs Bill was fixed for June 9, at a morning sitting. Some other orders wera forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at 25 minutes after 1 o'clock. THE I lIENCII DERBY.

Cavailld- Coll into the organ at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris, says :—lf it be a seventh it is a novelty; but if the pipes sound, as is most likely, a flat seventh, M. C. Coll cannot claim to be the originator of it; inasmuch as the stop in question was introduced by Dr. Ganntlett into the organ at St.Olave's, Southwark, in 1814 (under the style of " Clockenspiel and Bve Septima"), by Jackson at Liverpool, and at Preston (in 1850 and 1854 rc spectively), where it is,named.

The Garonne steamer from Bordeaux. to Liverpool, Capt. Drew, with brandy and several passengers, struck in the dense darkness of the 'lighten souio rocks called the Bucks. In five minutes she went, down. llcr captain, mate, two stewards, twelve females, and four male passengers, were drowned. filer three boats saved seventeen of the crew and two passengers. She struck near midnight, and the first intelligence was brought to us by the landing of the boats at Penzance. Of course nothing could be done by our lifeboat, the tragedy being over in less than ton minutes. The occurrence has caet quite a gloom over our town.
