(Continued from First Edition of yesterday. ) COUNTY RATES AND EXPENDITURE BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Sir J. PAKINGTON moved as an amendment, that it be committed on the 13th of April next, with a view, as he explained, of giving the county magistrates time to consider it at the quarter sessions, which were shortly about to be held over all the counties. Mr. M. GIBSON objected to the amendment, on the ground that the quarter sessions had had sufficient time and opportunities to consider the measure. Mr. EGERTON supported the amendment. Mr. R. PALMER pointed out that there were many alterations in the bill since it had last been before the country, which the county magistracy had had no oppor tunity of considering. He did not thick that any time would be lost. A further depression is reported in the New York stock market, with no indications of a favourable change. Money in improved demand ; first class business paper was quoted at 7 per cent. Exchange dull and lower. Bills on London, 1091 to 1091 ; Paris, 5 13/ to 5 12/ ; Amsterdam, 411 to 41i ; Bremen, 801- to 801 : Hamburgh, 36g to 361. Cotton in good demand, at an advance of kc. per lb. The market closed with a quiet ap pearance. Sales for the three days amounted to 8,800 bales. Flour dull, at a decline of 124 c. to 18c. per barrel. A large number of speculative lots had been forced on the market, which caused the decline. The wheat market was unsettled, at prices in favour of the buyer. Indian corn in fair demand, with a good supply. ' Sales of 104,000 bushels had been made, at 62/ to 63 for inferior to 631 for sound white and yellow. Pork dull, at 161 dols. to 17 dols. for mess, and 15 dols. for prime. Beef dull, at 12 dole. to 14 dols. for city mess, to 6.1 dole. to 6 dole. for prime. Butter, cheese, and lard without alteration. Scotch pig iron in good demand, at 35 dole. per ton on the spot, to 37 dole. 50c. in second hands, cash, to 40 dole. per ton, six months. Freights to London.--Tobacco, 30s. per hhd. ; flour, 2s. 9d. per barrel ; measurement goods, 255. to 30s. per ton. Lord PALMERSTON objected to the postponement, on the ground that it was neither a new bill, nor were they now at the last stage of the bill. After a few words from Mr. B. Denison, Mr. Packe, Mr. Barrow, Mr. Freshfield, and other hon. members, Mr. FITZROY denied that clauses had been intro duced into this bill by the Government. The only dif ference between this bill and that of 1851 was in the manner of elesting the board of guardians. The motion was then withdrawn, aid the house went into committee. On the motion of Mr. FRESHFIELD, the preamble was postponed. On the consideration of clause 1, Mr. HENLEY moved as an amendment on page 1, line 19, after the words " county of Lincoln," to insert " and the Western division and Eastern division of the county of Sussex." Mr. BAINES was afraid that the amendment could not be agreed to without involving the necessity of in troducing many other amendments. Lord PALMERSTON was of opinion that the intro duction of this amendment would be productive of con siderable difficulty. He hoped that the right hon. gen tleman would not press it. After some further discussion the committee divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment Against it . 70 ..... 142 Majority 72 The original clause was then agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. SPOONER wished to know how - this bill would act with reference to Birmingham and other boroughs which enjoyed the representative principle under the Municipal Corporation Act. Mr. M. T. BAINES replied that the bill would in no way interfere with the rights of such boroughs, because all that the bill proposed to do was to extend the same representative principle that applied to borough rates to county rates. The clause was then agreed to, as was also clause three. On clause 4 being proposed, Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to move the following amendment in line 17, after the words " consist of" to insert these words, "the justices duly quali fied to act in such county, together with." The object of this amendment was to enable the justices to act in conjunction with the county financial boards to be esta blished under this bill. Many county members were absent attending to their duties elsewhere, and it would not be unfair if he were to ask that the further progress of this bill should be postponed until after Easter, when the Assizes and Quarter Sessions . would be over. I n the absence o f th ese honourable members it was hopeless to think of going on with his amendment, and under those circumstances, he should withdraw his amendment for the present, and move that the chairman do report pro gress. After a brief discussion, this latter amendment was withdrawn, and Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the first amendment. The magistracy of this country consisted of a very large body of gentlemen and represented a very large amoun t of prospe r ity, while no other body could have a deeper interest in seeing that the county rates of England were properly managed and legitimately economised. It was only fair, therefore, that they should have a voice on these county financial boards, and hence the motive for his moving this amendment. Un less this amendment was agreed to, the small hol ders and occupiers of land in centres, would have a great preponderating control and ascendancy over that large body whose interest he wished to protect. This bill went upon the principle that those who paid the rate ought to have a voice in the making of them, and he was at a loss to understand how this amendment could be objected to seeing that the magis tracy, whom the bill as it now stood, would practically disfranchise, were generally speaking the largest rate payers in every county. For instance, the effect of this bill in Lancashire would be to displace all the acting magistrates, something like twenty-nine, and in other countries, unless this amendment was accepted, its operations would be the same, though perhaps in dif ferent proportions. Well, then, he must object to com mit the interest of a county to the narrow board which this bill would establish. Such a step would be fraught with injustice, and he should resist it through its stages if this amendment was rejected. Mr. M. GIBSON could not consent to the amend ment because it would be fatal to the bill and en tirely adverse to the principle of the measure. What the right hon. baronet proposed was nothing more than this. The right hon. baronet proposed that there should'be a county financial board, as the bill proposed, and then that the whole of the magistracy should be added to that board. Now, what would be the effect of such a plan ? Why, simply this. In the right hon. baro net's own county of Worcester there were 583 magis trates and 13 unions, and if the amendment were agreed to, there would be a board of 13 elected by the rate payers, and to this board the 583 magistrates were to be admitted to vote. Such a proposal was preposterous. and for a man to talk of its justice was really absurd. (Hear.) As well might they propose to add ten mem bers of the Commons to the House of Lords to equa lise the representation of the people, instead 'of having two separate and distinct houses. If the amend ment was carried the rate-payers upon each county financial board would always be in a ridiculous mi nority, and he had, therefore, no hesitation whatever in calling upon the committee to reject it. (Hear.) Mr. HENLEY supported the amendment, which he saw proposed nothing more than the magistrates had a right to expect at the hands of the Legislature. He thought if they were to throw a little of the representa• tive system into the existing bodies, the county financial boards of this bill would work more harmoniously, and be found more acceptable to all parties. Mr. HUME said the clause as it stood ought to be adopted. Half of each County Financial Board would consist of magistrates, and the other half of ratepayers, and seeing that the magistracy would still have the power of election in this latter half, he could not under stand the opposition that has been raised to the bill. Mr. BUCK had no objection to the ratepayers being represented in County Financial Boards, but he must object to that part of the bill which proposed to disfran chise the magistracy. The representative principle had for a long time prevailed in boroughs, but he had never understood that financial affairs were managed better in boroughs than in counties. Indeed, so far as his own experience went, just the contrary was the t nd, in a ne i ghbouring borough, , while th e coun t y ra t e was where a nh s l ey e r , e j 2 f o t r dh .e in representative phrtisheseecnoptuoanuytive principle was in force, the rates were 9d. in the pound. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. DRUMMOND contended' that the effect of this bill, if it passed as it now stood, would be to abo lish many of the useful functions of county magistrates ; and although he approved of the general principle of the bill, he must resist it, unless that defect was remedied in the manner proposed by the amendment. The bill as it stood might be all very well, and exceedingly practi cable in Lancashire, but without the amendment it would be found inoperative in agricultural counties. Mr. FELLOWES was of opinion that the bill with out the amendment would be found impracticable, be cause it would establish two boards in every county, between whom there would be constant dissensions, as the magistrates would be wanting to do one thing and the county financial board another. Lord PALMERSTON said the amendment went to the whole principle of the bill. Repeatedly committees of the house had reported in favour of its principle, and it was mere clap-trap to talk of it as a democratic mea sure. (Hear.) The bill was based upon the principle that representation ought to go with taxation • but if they were to agre e t o this amendment, and make each board consist of 500 members, plus those who were elected what chance would there be of putting the principle of the bill into effective operation. He could only understand this amendment as coming from a man who was afraid that these new finan cial boards were goi ng to launch into ext ravagance , but the object o f t h e bill was to check extravagance in the expenditure of counties, and he really could see no reason whatever for introducing the amendment. After some further discussion, Mr. SPOONER moved that the Chairman report progress, which was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN reported accordingly. S ° I YrIiAMPTON ELECTION. Mr. H. HERBERT brought up the report of the Southampton Election Committee, declaring the Attor ney-General and Mr. Wilcox to have been duly elected. The honourable gentleman also reported that he was instructed to move that the Attorney-General be instructed to prosecute two of the witnesses called in support of the petition named Warren and Masters, as the committee believed that in giving their evidence they were guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury. - The report was then ordered to lie upon the table. Mr. HERBERT then moved that the Attorney-Ge neral be instru c t e d to prosecute the two witnesses named for perjury, which was agreed to. ATTORNEY'S CERTIFICATE DUTY. Lord R. GROSVENOR obtained leave to bring in a bill to repeal the annual certificate duty payable by at tornies, solicitors, proctors, writers to the signet, and notaries, and to amend the law relatinf , to the registra tion of attorneys and solicitors ; and the bill having be en brought in, it w as read a first time, and ordered to be printed. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at ten minutes to six o'clock. to announce a rath er sat i sfactory turn in the meta l mar ket. 7 March 14.—W e are thi s wee k enabled BIRMINGHAM Xbe.holders of tin and copper have at length let out these essential articles of our manufacture, although at ruinously high prices.—Aris's Birmingham Gazette N, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1853.

Rainier, R.N., Admi ralty agent, arrived at Southampton yesterday afternoon at 4.30. On her route home the Teviot experienced a continuance of strong head winds, with heavy swell. The Teviot brings mails from the following places, to which the latest dates are affixed :—Bue nos Ayres, Feb. 2 ; Monte Video, 4 ; Rio Janeiro, 15 ; Bahia, 19 ; Pernambuco, 22 ; St. Vincent, March 2 ' • Teneriffe, 7 ; Madei ra , 9 ; Li s b on, 12. Left at Lisbon 40 passengers ; landed at South ampton 46 ditto. On freight the Teviot brings 124 serons cochineal, 205 barrels tapioca, 101 packages of sundries, 396 boxes of oranges, 3 boxes of gold, 1 box of old silver, 6 packages of diamonds.

The weather at Rio was close and sultry; cases of yellow fever were daily occurring, though perhaps slightly on the decrease. After leaving Rio, the yellow fever broke out on board the Teviot ; there were about 20 cases, three of which proved fatal, on the 26th aid 27th, Wil liam Bennett, C.T. ; Alfred Carter, C.T. ; and Henry Austin, scullion. At Teneriffe the cochineal cultivation is rapidly progressing. Very large quantities, it is expected, will be shipped next season. The waste at the pre sent time in collecting and preparing is 20 per cent., which will be ultimately improved. From Buenos Ayres we have received news by the Teviot to the 2d of February. The city was still in a state of siege, several actions had taken place, and much blood had been shed. On the Ist of January a detachment of the once famous Blanderguez had to be dislodged from the Convalescencia at the point of the bayonet. The houses and fences along the Barraca road afforded vast facilities and protection to the enemy. On reaching the bridge two chains interfered, with two pieces of artillery, that swept the narrow approach. The besiegers abandoned a position that placed every odds in their favour, retreating in utter con fusion to the fortified entrenchments. Several boxes of arms and ammunition, 150 head of cattle, and 200 horses were captured. On the Bth the lieges were aroused in the morn ing by a rather brisker skirmish than usual to the north-west of the city. It appears that Clavero had meditated an attack on the parque de artilleria, but was deterred by the warmth and cordiality of his reception. The noise of fire-arms, intermingled 'with the Indian yells of the invaders, had rather a picturesque effect heard at a distance. Two of the besiegers contrived to escape inside, and pre sented themselves to the Government. No casualty on the town side. A communication from the south announces that on the 9th of January the forces of Colonel Don Pedro Rosas y Belgrano and Don Augustin Acosta were on march, to the number of 6,000 or 7,000, upon the Salado, 40 leagues from Buenos Ayres. A decree had passed providing that the custom house shall be opened every day from eight a.m. to twelve, holidays included, for the general re ceipt and dispatch of merchandise. It comes into effect on Monday, the 17th, and will continue in this restricted form till further notice. On the 22d of January, at the pass of San Gre gorio, in the river Salado, the divisions of Colonel Rosas y Belgrano, mentioned above, suffered a rout rather than a defeat, their gallant leader fall ing into the hand of his opponents. His personal safety was a matter of much anxiety. Admiral Henderson, Commodore M'Keever, and others, had gone to intercede in, his behalf, but with what suc cess was not known when the Teviot sailed. The Buenos Ayres British Packet of January 29, says—" There are at least 50,000 'messengers of fate' loaded and primed, and the first act of indignity or violence to the persons or property of neutral residents, or unarmed or defenceless families, whether native or foreign, would be the knell of destiny to the invaders." It was reported that Bustos, and Olmos, and Costa had memorialised Lagos, to the effect that they would hare nothing to do with the compact of San Nicholas, the Supreme Director, or the Con giess now sitting at Santa Fe. The capital has put itself into an excellent state of defence against the besiegers. !Business at Buenos Ayres, as a matter of course, wps almost suspended. Two sons of the commander-in-chief had fallen into the hands of Lagos, and been kept in strict surveillance at his head-quarters, near San Jose de Flores. Her Britannic Majesty's Consul, M. T. Hood, Esq., volunteered his friendly offices as mediator with the besieging chief, and repaired in person to the head-quarters at San Jose de Flores, to endeavour to obtain their liberation. He was unsuccessful, but afterwards the French admiral interfered, and the youths were restored to their parents. STATE OR TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, March 15.—The receipts of the week, ending March 2d, at all the American ports were 131,000 bales, against 126,000 (the largest of last season) in the corresponding week of last year ; and the total receipts, 2,326,000 against 1,791,000. The next week, it is said, will exhibit a falling off of 12,000 to 15,000 bales. The week's shipments to Great Britain were only 30,000 against 57,000. Prices were steadier. It is evident that they were depending very much upon accounts from Liverpool. On Saturday, our market was exceedingly depressed in its whole tone ; and it seemed highly probable that the prices of yarns and goods would undergo a still fur ther decline. The transatlantic accounts have, how ever, produced an impression that a further fall is per haps for the present interrupted. We have conse quently had a more cheerful feeling, with more -offers from buyers, at last week's lowest prices, which, how ever, the producers of yarns and goods have not, in general, been inclined to accept. This much is certain, buyers might have supplied themselves on somewhat ealier terms at the latter end of last week, especially in yarns, than they have been enabled to do to-day ; but sellers cannot obtain a positive advance upon their pre vious quotations. No. 40's mule twist and 20's water show the most improvement. Offers have been made for fair quantities of India and China shirtings, but at prices which have not been accepted. In domestics there is rather more doing. ROCHDALE, March 14.—T0-day we have had little change in the market from that of the preceding Mon day, either in price or demand. The demand for wool is very steady, and prices continue to advance slowly. HALIFAX, March 12.—There is no noticeable change to-day in the state of trade. Our piece hall has been very thinly attended, and but few goods of any sort have changed hands. Yarn is again higher, but the ad vance is not equal to that on the raw material. Al though the spinners purchase sparingly, and only to meet immediate needs, wool continues to rise, partly owing to increasing scarcity and partly to speculative sales. HUDDERSFIELD, March 15.—Our market continues brisk, but as manufacturers have nothing to sell, busi ness is done very quietly, goods being delivered direct to order. The cloth hall is nearly deserted of goods, and most of the private "shops" in the neighbourhood are quite empty. Manufacturers are fully employed, and if more hands could be got, could find customers for the extra quantity of goods. The tendency in price is upwards in most seasonable fabrics, as fancies of new patterns and light goods generally. AUG' PRICES OP SHARES: IN BANKS, A SSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

The numbers present are calcu lated to have been upwards of three thdusand persons. The 13 6n6ficiaire was recalled at the close of the concert, and received a special ovation at the hands of his dis tinguished auditory, and her Majesty the Empress after wards, sent him a magnificent diamond ring. Mr. Balfe, according to the same letter, is engaged at Vienna next season to bring out one of his own, operas. [ADVE RTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills for the Cure of Asthmatic Coughs, and all Diseases of the Chest and Lungs.--A gentleman named Middleton, of Scotland road, Liverpool, states, in a letter to Professor Hollo way, dated Jan. 1, 1853, that for upwards of five years he suffered severely from asthma, attended with a violent cough, which so prostrated his strength and debilitated his constitution as totally to unfit him for any of the active duties of life. He was attended by the most eminent medical men, but all failed to give him relief. At length lie tried Holloway's Pills, and in about three months this wonderful medicine ieffected a perfect cure of his dis ease , an d ies toted - him to sound health.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish ment, 244, Strand, Louden.
