Her sword keener than, ever, and her temper more inexor able ! It would so appear to be from tue Select Committee appointed by the House of Commons, now inquiring into the exercise of influence and patronage in the various dockyards by the Lords Commissioners under the Earl of DERBY'S Go vernment. During the last few days important evidence has been adduced before the Committee in reference to the resignation by Sir BALDWIN WALKER of the office of Naval Surveyorship. Everything, indeed, has now been explained by that distinguished officer in regard to the long talked-of correspondence. The whole transaction has been detailed by him with a lucidity really ad mirable, and, on consideration of the singular en tanglement of the whole question, really also quite extraordinary. It must by this time be apparent that discredit of no trivial amount falls upon the head of the late Secretary to the Admiralty. Nevertheless, it remains yet to be learnt what Mr. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD can possiblyhave to say in the way of exculpation. Hitherto the evidence has all gone against him indisputably. He is proved to have cancelled, on the 19th of April, 1852, the circular of 1849, " without the knowledge of the Board." He is proved to have said plainly enough to the ex-Surveyor, in exculpation of his conduct in so doing, " There's no use blinking the question—l cannot help myself, lam so pressed by the Government." He is proved to have had an interview, on the 22d of April, 1852, with Sir B. WALKER, in the presence of Vice-Admiral PARKER, upon which occasion the late Surveyor of the Navy, having done so on the previous day by writing, then again (by word of mouth) formally tendered his resignation. Yet —after all this—Mr. STAFFORD is proved to have stated in the House of Commons,! on the evening of the 23d of November, 1852, in answer to in quiries put by Admiral BERKELEY and Sir GEORGE PEOHELL, that ther e h a d b een no correspondence with the Surveyor of the Navy on the subject of promotions in the dockyards, and also that the Surveyor of the Navy lint] not tendered his resig nation ! No correspondence after the " confiden tial letter" written by Mr. A. STAFFORD to Sir B. WALKER on the 3d April, 1852 ! No corres pondence after that reply penned on' the very same day, and forwarded in the evening to the late Secretary by the late Surveyor ! What, Sir BALDWIN WALKER had not tendered his resigna tion—after the communication written by him on - the 21st of April, 1852—the letter addressed to Mr. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD himself in his official capacity—the letter read out loud to Admiral PARKER in the presence of Captain MILNE-- the letter committed to the charge of Admiral PARSES, to be laid by him before the Board of Commissioners--the letter which actually ap peared in the course of the interview already re ferred to, as having taken place on the 22d of April, 1852, between Admiral PARKER, Sir BALD WIN WALKER, and Mr. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD --the late Surveyor of the Royal Navy distinctly stating, on Thursday, before the Committee of Inquiry, " Admiral PARKER had witness's letter in his hand during the interview, and which con tained in it his resignation ! " There had been no correspondence with the Surveyor of the Navy on th e su bj ect of the promotions in the not tendered ! And th e S urveyor of the Navy had tendered his resignation ! Those are the as by him cma of th e l ate Secretary—assertions made itut (a,aid explicitly from the floor of the - Lower we wonder---when Imperial Parliament. No are this fact with the evi dence above particularisedernl:ivi—no wonder that Sir B. WALKER no statement of the 23d of Mr. A. 1852, STAFFORD'S in the House of C ommons derable indignation. No wondweritthh no inconsi c;tat., on seeing after the the Secretary to the Admiralty two utterance of that startling assertion, t3l7ise veyor asked him, " What could have ind:cteedSytir to give such answers I" The reply made to th e' i ll • inquiry by Mr. STAFFORD is, it must be adulated, somewhat remarkable--" What would you have me sa y r Whereupon Sir BALDWIN WALKER retorted with honest spirit, "Anythingbutwhatyou did say for you know that I tendered my resignation, and that quine days after. 1 wrote a letter to the First Lord of the Admiralty." But—O! these letters, this correspondence, this resignation, these long yarns and short memories, these Lords of the Admiralty, and Secretaries and Surveyors, these statements and counter-statements ! Admiral PARKER takes charge of Sir B. WALKER'S letter to the First Lord of the Admiralty. Subse quently Sir B. WALKER obtains an interview with the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND-When he learns from his Grace that he had never seen or heard of this letter containing the tender of his resigna tion. " His Grace," this is the evidence of the witness, " his Grace stated, with much warmth, that, had it been given to him, he should have at once taken it to Lord DERBY. Sir BALDWIN WA LKER is naturally amazed when, as luck has it, Admiral PARKER himself walks into the room during the interview, whereupon " witness expressed his sur prise at hearing his Grace state that he had not seen or heard of the letter tendering his resigna tion, upon which Admiral PARKER reminded the Duke that he had put the letter into his Grace's hand." He might as well have put it into the fire— as Ito actually did with another communication. Again say we—O these long yarns and short me mories! Like everything else just now —except the Jew Bill—the Committee of Inquiry was yesterday ad journed. The further examination of the Gun powder Plot at Rotherhithe is postponed. The discussion on the Budget is delayed. Everything, we repeat—excepting that Jewish Disabilities Bill, which was defeated last night in the Lords by a sweeping majority of 49 in a house of 279, in cluding proxies --everything except that is sub ject, it would seem, to reiterated adjournment. Among the rest, this Committee of Inquiry into the exercise of political influence and patronage in the dockyards is doomed to What we cannot but regard as a most judicious and wholesome procrastination. The annual ceremony of bringing forward in the House of Lords the bill for the removal of the civil disabilities affecting persons professing the Jewish religion was last night repeated, and with the usual result. The hereditary legislators once more rejected the measure by a considerable majority—there being 164 against the second reading, and only 115 (including proxies) in its favour. Had Lord JOHN RUSSELL really intended to set the question at rest, and to carry out the wishes of the important constituency of which he was the representative, he would have adopted a very different and far more simple course than that which he deliberately pursued. The question, so far as the House of Commons was concerned, lay in a nutshell. There was no greater impedi ment to Baron ROTHSCHILD'S taking his seat than had previousiy existed with respect to Mr. PEASE. Then, however, the House acted boldly and independently. The majority of its members would not permit a question affecting their owi privileges only, and the discipline and regulatioi of their own concerns, to be referred t€ another tribunal. They took a broad and comprehensive view of the subject. They considered that it was the spirit and not Vie letter of the obligation that should be regarded —the substance and not the form. They, accord ingly, by a simple resolution, decided that the Hon. Gentleman should be permitted to make his affirmation, as he would have been authorised to do in any Court of Justice, even in the highest of all—the House of Lords itself. The matter was thus disposed of in the easiest manner. Tile Hon. Gentleman made his affirmation, took part as one of the popular representatives in the busi ness of the country, discharging the important duties confided to his charge, honestly and effici ently. No person ever thought that the British Constitution, or even the Church of England by law established, was endangered by the admiss n of Mr. PEASE, or subsequently of Messrs. BRIGHT and Ems into the popular branch of the Legi:l - and if a similar course had been resorted to when Baron ROTHSCHILD presented himself at the table, and having taken the substantial part of the obligation, declining only the formal deela . - ration that "he swore it on the true faith of a Christian," inasmuch as the other form which he was willing to pursue, was " more binding on his conscience," there would have been an end of the dispute—the obstacle would have been quietly removed, without discussion or excitement, and there might have been two or three Jews taking part in the proceedings of the House of Coin= mons—a circumstance that would no more have un-Christianised the Legislature than their tole ration in the country, and admission to civic offices, has un-Christianised the nation. Lord Jourr RUSSELL, however, wanted some thing to divert the popular attention at the mo ment, to prevent the impatience that might other 7 wise have arisen at the undue procrastination exhibited with respect to the various reforms urgently demanded at his hands. Like a Necro mancer in the olden time, he, had a potent spirit under his control, but he was bound to provide it in work. A Jew Bill, one that would command a majority in one House, and was certain of rejection in the other, would answer the same purpose as twisting ropes of sand or other equally useful occupations by which the busy demon was prevented from doing mis chief. We have, accordingly, had a bill which has answered the purpose for seven successive Sessions, and which is good for seven years more, unless the step be now taken which might have been so beneficially adopted in the first instance. If Lord J. RUSSELL be really sincere in his intention of carrying out the emancipation of the Jews, he will now, albeit at the eleventh hour, bring for-, ward the resolution which he should have pro posed in 1847. The difficulties have, unques tionably, been increased by the vacillating conduct above referred to ; but it is time that what a morning contemporary has, with too much propriety, termed "the annual farce," should be brought to a conclusion—that the Jews should be admitted to the popular branch of tills Legislature without further delay—that the city of London should no longer be partially disfran chised, and one of its most respected citizens de prived of the honourable privilege bestowed on him by a majority of his fellows. If Lord Join Russimi, be in earnest, he will forth with bring the question to a summary conclu sion. If not, his conduct will afford another, and by no means a favourable, illustration ofLegislative and Ministerial " sayings and doings," which we have no doubt the electors of the metropolis will know how to appreciate when the fitting time 3110 arrive. DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR OSBORNE, THIS DAT.— Shortly after one o'clock this day, her Majesty, H.R.H. Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family, accom panied by the Lords and Ladies in Waiting, left Buck ingham Palace for Osborne. The royal party occupied three carriages, and proceeded over Vauxhall-bridge to the new railway in the Wandsworth-road. In conse quence of the Nine Elms station, from which her Ma jesty forme r ly s t ar t e d , having been turned into an emi-, gration depot, the London and South-Western Railway directors have built a short line from the main' line near the Richmond Junction to the Wands worth-road, near the toll-gate, which will be• kept expressly for the use of her Majesty and 'royal family. It having been found impossible to com plete the station in time for to-day, a large tempo rary one, in the shap e o f a marquee, was erected by Mr. Benjamin Edgington, of Duke-street, Tooley-street, for the accommodation of the royal party. Upon the arri val of the Court at the new station, the Queen was re ceived by the chairman and directors of the railway. The royal party having taken their seats in the train, the signal was given, and th e party dispatched. Her Ma jesty and royal family were looking remarkably well. CHANDELIER FOR THE QUEEN. —A splendid chandelier has lately been made at the works of Mr. R. W. Win field, Cambridge-street, Birmingham. It is for her Majesty's marine villa, Osborne House, and was for. warded on Saturday last, in order that it may be sus pended in the council-room before the arrival of the Royal Family. It is designed in the later Italian style, wrought in the most admirable manner, and is composed of brass, matted, and in part relieved by burnisling. From what is termed a jewelled shaft depends the body of the chandelier, which is vase-shaped, and above which, round the shaft, are placed three elegantly modelled figures in Parian, illustrative of Peace, Plenty, and Lore. The body is decorated with masks of female faces, with closed eyes, typical of night, and the whole esents a specimen of design and workmanship seldom excelled.--ilfining Journal. .Tohn Scott to I.,l3viTrfalinNoou'rEs.—Bell's Life to-day contains the fol nsctettnents :—We are requested by Lori .tart i s or the Derb to his horse, The Reiver, he will not havinr, bappenel e, that in consequence of an accident colt by Simoom ;I , f ord Cal e d on h as named his black Stakes an d Derby, 'th e Q ueen, engaged in the Dee grey colt by Clear the since LeQl3old.

CITY, TWO O,CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed quietly. Railway Shares were quiet. The weekly return of the Bank of England to the 23d inst. is interesting, owing to the further numerous changes. There was rather a large with drawal of deposits, but these went in part towards the payment of loans, the amount of the other securities being much smaller. The bullion was again trenched upon, but this week's arrivals will soon restore the balance. Compared with the pre vious week the changes are as follows : X 23, 408,330 204,835 18,554,181 238,815 3114,339 , Increase Public Deposits Decrease Other deposits Decrease 416,045 Seven-day and other Bills Decrease 7,116 Government Securities No alteration.

Th ese are slightly higher terms for Hamburgh, and scarely so good for Amsterdam and Trieste. The amount of gold exported from London dur ing the week to Thursday last was 23,920 ounces, nearly all to Boulogne, and of silver 2,840 ounces. The English Funds have been quiet, and have not improved upon yesterday's rates. The absence of business is the chief cause, and the closing of speculative accounts in connection with certain parties in the iron trade has its effect. Consols have been 100 k I for Transfer, and 1001 -k for Account. The New 3k per Cents. have realised 103 k to and the 3 per Cents. 99i to par. Ex chequer Bills have been at par to 58. premium. India Bonds have fallen to 28s. and 255. premium. East India Stock is worth 260 k. Bank Stock has been firm, at 2261 to 228. Foreign Securities have been buoyant. The Spanish Committee's Certificate has improved to 6i Mexican Bonds are lower, being 261 Greek Bonds are not so high, the Red having been 10, and the Blue 91. Peruvian scrip is very firm. Sardinian Bonds have been quoted 97/ to 98 ; Austrian Bonds have realised 88k ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 65k to 66. In the Railway Market there has been a realisa tion of profits as regards Great Northern, and they are cheaper. North-Western are steady. York and North Midland have been also very good. French shares have been flatter. The Gold Mine shares are generally very firm, but the Land Companies are lower, except the British American and the North British Austra lian. Active circulation.

The committee appointed to inquire into the petition against the return of Mr. Mills for this borough sat this morning for the first tune. The Hon. A. Lascelles in the chair. The counsel for the petitioners were Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Ballantine ; for Mr. Mills, Mr. Ser geant Kinglake, Mr. James, and Mr. Pigott. The petition was founded upon an allegation that the return of Mr. Baldwin was prevented by a libel which had been circulated, and for which an action at law had been commenced. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins made application to the com mittee for an adjournment, on the ground that by a letter having been accidentally sent to Torquay, a material witness had not received a summons. Mr. James opposed the application. After some discussion, the committee adjourned until 11 o'clock on Monday. HARWICH. • This committee met this moraing at eleven •'clock— Mr. Headlam in the chair. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake was opening the case when our reporter left. The learned Sergeant entered at some length into the history of the last half-dozen elections at Harnich, and with tracing the rise and progress of the connection of Mr. Attwood with the borough. He said he should be able to show that, previous to the last election, Mr. Attwood had offered the borough openly openly for sale. C BOLTON. The committee met this morning at twelve o'clock— Lord Robert Grosvenor in the chair. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake appeared for the petitioners, and Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Monek for the sitting mem hers. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake opened the case, and was proceeding when our reporter left. THE GREAT ENCAMPMENT. The exact position and form of the great encampment on Chobharn-common have now been determined upon ; the ground bas been surveyed and is judiciously selected. The line of encampment will form a semicircle, com mencing at Colonel Challoner's property and extending along some high ground to Staples-hill, a distance of about a mile and three-quarters, fronting several thou sand acres of common or heath ground, similar to that of Ascot Heath. The position of the head-quarters of the Commander-in-Chief has also been chosen ; it is on an eminence about a mile distant, and in front of the army. At the commencement and termination of the line of encampment the cavalry will be stationed, with the artillery directly in front of them, and the centre of the line will be formed of the infantry; altogether there will be 10,000 men encamped. A party of the Royal Sappers and Miners from the Royal Military College and Fusilier Guards from Windsor have been engaged, under the scientific directions of Colonel Vicars and Lieutenant Drake, in securing a sup ply of water, by making embankments, digging wells, &c. Two ponds, the " Little Arm" and " Great Arm," have been formed from the springs in various parts of the ground, the water from which is described by the in habitants of the district as of the purest quality. Ground has also been laid out for the temporary stables of the cavalry ; the horses will be under canvas. Lord Hardinge is expected to survey the operations next week ; his lordship will occupy a mansion in the neighbourhood of Sunninghill. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will pro bably be the General in command. His Royal Highness will take up his'residence at Bagshot-park. The encampment, if the weather should prove favour. able, will last about six weeks. The following regiments have already received orders to prepare for the encampment :—The Ist battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards, from Windsor ; 2d battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards, from the Tower ; I s t b a tt a li on of Grenadi er G uar d s , rom Chichester ; the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, from Windsor, and 2d Regiment of Life Guards, from Regent's-park Barracks. Some of the regiments are expected to march on the ground about the Ist of June, but the whole of th e en campment will not be formed until the first week of the Ascot races. The encampment, as viewed from almost any part- of the heath, will, no doubt, form one of the grandest mili tary spectacles which has been witnessed in England for more than half a century. INDIAN DISPATCHES. The Gazette of yesterday evening publishes an extract of a dispatch from Brigadier-General Steel, C. 8., dated the 23d February, in which he report the occupation of Tounghoo by the force under his command, and the ex pulsion of the Burmese troops from the eastern side of the province. The details of the operations have already been published in our columns. Tounghoo is thus described :—" The force marched again the following morning, the 18th February, and, coming on without a halt, was able to reach the Sitang river, at Thantabin, by a march of 181 miles, on the 21st instant. On the opposite bank of the river, attended' by a party of thirty men, armed with muskets, a mounted officer was seen, who hailed the first of our advance who entered the bed of the river, asking what we wanted ; saying we were both great nations and ought net to be at war ! He was informed in reply that if he had any communication to make, he might come across the river ; he declined this proposal very peremp torily, and shortly afterwards the whole party disap peared. I have since learned that he is named Moun glay, an officer of some rank, and that he returned direct to this city. The river, about four feet deep at the ford, with a rapid current, was passed yesterday, commencing at daylight. The guns were all over, the troops cross ing on the elephants, and, the line of march formed on the right bank in order for the advance by seven a.m. We were met, not far from the river, by two of the chief officers of this city, attended by a great number of the inhabitants with offerings of fruits, and expressing in many ways besides the open avowal in words, their ex treme joy at our arrival. Thus accompanied, the troops, at ten a.m., entered thi s ex t raor di nar y c it y . I t is a large square enclosure, surrounded by a high brick wall, with solid rampart, and outside by a broad wet ditch ; each face is considerably upwards of a mile in length. The town occupies but a small portion of the enclosure ; temples, kyooms or monasteries, groves of lofty trees, and extensive fruit gardens, are interspersed among large open spaces, in one of which the force is now encamped. 'There is also a large natural tank. In the arsenal the guns and ammunition were found, o: which a return is enclosed. The wall is of a very an• cient date, and the place is untenable as a fortification, independently of its vast size, from the extensive dilapi dation of the wall in many places, and the weak points offered by the exposed position of all the wooden gates : the latter have been newly put up within the last three months, and attempts recently made to repair the fallen •• wall.' EXHIBITION OF CABINET WoßH.—Four van loads of highly valuable specimens for this exhibition have been removed this week from Windsor Castle to Gore-house, Kensington. Besides the contributions of her Majesty the Queen, the Dukes of Hamilton, Bnccleuch, Devon shire, and Northumberland, the Earls Spencer and Am herst, the Lords Willoughby d'Eresby and De l'lsle, Sir Anthony Rothschild, Mr. Charles Mills, Mr. C. B. Wall, M.P., M r . H. Maquiac, Mr. James Morrison, Mr. George Field, Mr. I. K. Brunel, Mr. E. Pownall, Mr. John Auldjo, Mr. J. Swaly, Mr. D. M. Davison, the Rev. M. Taylor, Mr. H. Farrer, and other gent!e men have liberally consented to lend valuable examples for public instruction in the production of cabinet work. IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS TO THE ROMAN CATHOLICS. —The anniversary meeting of this society was held yes terday morning in the large room of Exeter-hall, his Grace the Duke of Manchester presiding. The meeting having been opened with prayer, the report of the com mittee (of which the following is an abstract) was read : —During the past year 2,000,000 handbills had been circulated, each containing some polemical question ad dressed to Roman Catholics, and their effects had been very satisfactory. In this work the committee had been joined by the Irish Society, with which the Irish Church Missions was now amalgamated. The Irish Society agreed not to appeal for funds in England on considera tion of receiving from the Irish Church Missionary Society the yearly help of 3,0001. The receipts of the society during 1852 amounted to 29,9311. 19s. 6d., of which 2,9701. 17s. 10d, was remitted from Ireland, besides other smaller sums too lately received to be in cluded in the year's account. The amount expended during the year was 24,3221. 19s. 6d., leaving a balance of 6,7511. 12s. 11d., of which 2,1091. were in Exche quer Bills. This report was received and adopted nem. con., and after passing various resolutions, the meeting thanked the chairman, and separated. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—The town of Somerton was thrown into a state of great excitement on Wednesday, by the discovery of a most diabolical outrage that had been perpetrated during the night. The stables of the Globe and White Hart Inns, in which were two valua ble stallions, bad b een broken into, and the animals hamstrung, and so cut about the hocks, that they were obliged to be killed. One of them, the property of Mr. Jacobs, of Baltonsborough; is said to have been worth 200 guineas. Of course, instant and active steps were taken to discover the perpetrators of such atrocious ontelty.-Blterborne Journal. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) The general tone of the market has been better this week, and upon the expectation that the smelters will not lower the standard much below 130 at present, there have been few buyers of dividend stocks, and also of many of the first-class progressive mines. Amongst the latter there has been a good demand for Sidneys, at advanced prices, and also for Pen-y-Gelli, Uny, Herod scoMbe, and Tehidy. Many of the new concerns brought out at high premiums are very flat. United shares are firmer in consequence of a new tin lode having been cut, and reported worth 301. per fm. The Nova Scotia scheme, with its reported 900,0001. worth of copper ores discovered, and which was at once to flood us with metal, and ruin many of our home mines, is reported to have ended —in smoke. The " copper' ores are said to have been condemned by Messrs Jehu Ilitshins and Petherick as of "no commercial value." According to the Times, the company is to be wound up, and the capital, less the expenses, returned to the shareholders. On the other hand, this statement is considered to be premature—it certainly wants con firmation : should it, however, prove partially true, it will be but sorry consolation to many who, upon the , faith of the names published in the prospectus as trustees and directors, were led to buy s h ares a t 21 . an d 3 1 . prem., though we confess we feel but little sympathy for those who seem to ignore the existence of bona fide speculations at home, but eagerly run after any foreign scheme, when even the reports are so extravagantly absurd that, to aoy one acquainted with mining opera tions, they would carry their own refutation with them. It is singular, too, that all these wonderful mineral dis coveries abroad are always made when there is a furor for speculation in England ! In the Bullion Market--Mexican and South Ameri can dollars, 4s. Hid. per oz. B u t s il ver con t a i n i ng gold, all gold above five grains in the pound .to be paid for ss. igd. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold, ss. lid. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. American eagles, 765. per oz. In the Metal Market, tin and pig iron have sustained a further depreciation, the former article being reduced nominally to 51. Bs. per cwt. for English block, and 51. 9s. for bar, both under the quoted price of Banca and Straits, and very little business doing in either, or in plates. The stoppage of a large speculator (Mr. Attwood) has brought Scotch pig down to 2/. 9s. per ton in Glasgow, arid created quite a panic. All other descriptions of iron are in fair demand, and present rates well supported. The gold mining share market has been firmer this week. So far as the Californian adventures are con cerned, there are great indications of a revival of acti vity. The successful progress of the Agua Fria Corn pany has imparted a feeling of confidence, and the share holders are looking out for very favourable accounts. In the Australian mining market the feeling has also been firmer, in 'sympathy ; but with the excep tion of Colonial Gold, which remains in much favour, there is no partiehlar inquiry. On Thursday, there was greater activity displayed, and the more favourable descriptions of stock were in demand— the market closing with considerable firmness. This same healthy feeling likewise extended over the whole of the operations yes terday, and it is presumed that it will be some time pre vious to any reaction taking place. The quantity of gold, which it is computed has been raised from the Oven's diggings, is not less than 200,000 ozs. The num ber of persons calculated to be on the entire diggings is from 7,000 to 8,000 ; of these about 6,000 are on the Upper and Lower Spring Creek. The first Government escort left on the 3d November, and took with it about 2,500 ozs. That which started on the 12th January had upwards of 15,000 ozs. At the Rocky River about 110 persons were at work, who were averaging from 11. to 2/. per man per working day. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) GERMAN WOOL.—We have little to say about the business done in wool during the month of April. , The whole stock of this article in Berlin does not exceed a few thousand hundredweights, including every descrip tion. In low fleece wools, at 40 to 50 rix dollars, some bargains have been made for Hamburg account. Slipes and skins are in good demand for the inland consump tion, and still rising in prices. LONDON WOOL TRADE.—The market is firm. The imports into London during the week ending to-day have been 1,777 bales, of which 1,107 were from Port Philip, 313 from Alexandria, 140 from Mogadore, 55 from Germany, 38 from Spain, 140 from Holland, an d the rest from the C a p e o f Good Hope. The accounts of Jan. 12 from Port Philip state that large quantities of the new season's clip were coming into town, and were being rapidly shipped. Three or four vessels would be ready to leave in ten days or a fortnight. In the English wool market there is no material alte ration in the demand for combing and clothing wool this week. Prices are firm and stationary. In the Liverpool wool market the public sales last week so cleared the market that there is very little busi ness doing now. Any arrivals sell readily at full rates. Imports during the past week-134 bales Callas, 320 Buenos Ayres, 211 Constantinople, 63 Egyptian, and 18 Mogadore. With regard to the state of the Leeds woollen cloth market, we have no change of any importance to report. A good steady trade continues to be done in nearly all descriptions of goods that are suitable for the season. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.-The flannel market continues good, notwithstanding it is that part of the year when the demand for goods of this description is usually the slackest. English wool is becoming very scarce, and it is said that the dealers are already buying the coming clip at the present price at which wool is selling. TRADE OP LEICESTER.—The trade of Yorkshire con tinues good,. Nand, consequently, the consumption o wools is large, and its value increasing, 50 25 100 St. St. St. St. St. 20 20 50 20 PROPOSED TAX ON TRADING LICENOES. I e Yesterday a meeting, consisting of deputations from Norwich, Cambridge, and Brighton, Southwark, and Lambeth, and other parties interested in the tea and other licensed trades, was held at Radley's Hotel, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, with a view to consider the increased duties contemplated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon trading licences ; Mr. R. Rowe, in the chair. The following letter on the subject from the right hon. gentleman to Mr. Moffat, M.P., was read : "Downing-street, April 27, 1853. "My dear Sir,—l have received many representations of the grocers, tea-dealers, and other classes affected by the new scale of licences from other parts of the country as well as from London. The question is one which I can much more advantageously consider with the aid of written statements showing the application of particular scales than in successive conversations with the parties., I should be much obliged if they would, in the first instance, favour me with any such written statements, which will have my careful consideration. The scale, as it now stands in print, must certainly be altered, and I will take care that the changes to be introduced into it are printed at such time as shall give sufficient notice to all parties concerned before the scale is submitted for the sanction of Parliament. Should those on whose part you write then be of opinion that an interview is requisite, I shall be happy to see them ; nor will the fact that the scale will have been re printed in any manner narrow their liberty of objecting, or of hearing objections. " I remain, very faithfully yours, (Signed) " W. GLADST ONE . " S. Moffatt, Esq., M.P. Mr. Peto, M.P., and Mr. Warner, M.P., then briefly addressed the meeting. On the motion of Mr. Cope man several resolutions were carried, recording the strong objections of the meeting to the increased duty on trading licences, and stating that the withdrawal of this proposition the previous evening, as announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the expressed ob ject of reconsideration, was alike honourable to the Minister and satisfactory to the meeting, at the same time expressing its intention to watch most vigilantly the amended proposition. It was also determined that a memorial embodying the views of the meeting, and describing in detail the unjust operation of the contem plated tax, should be forwarded to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, together with the resolution. The meeting then adjourned. APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—A ma- 25 ,rimonial alliance is arranged, and will shortly take 10 place between the Lord Colville of Culross and the eldest 14 daughter of Lord Carington. RE-PAVING OF CHEA.PBLDE.—Owing to the great de- ' lay and consequent inconvenience necessarily caused to the vast traffic of this enormous and important thorough fare, the repairs are being proceeded with all possible rapidity, and in the meantime the public and other ve hicles are obliged to take a circuitous route of the nar row streets on either side to and from the different parts - of the metropolis to their destination. The repairs have already been completed as far as Bow Church, and the thoroughfare is now open from the Mansion-House to King-street, and at the upper end beyond Wood -street. The repairs, which were much needed, will be continued 2 to the end of Cheapside, westward, and when the whole 2 is completed, which will be effected as quickly as pos- 2 sible, this most important thoroughfare will be .in a 2 strong and durable condition. ' 2 NATIONAb VACCINE ESTABLISHMENT.—The report of 2 this establishment for the past year has been laid before both houses of Parliament. It states that during that period 215,630 charges of lymph have been supplied, and 20 155,790 persons reported as vaccinated, besides 11,219 j children by the stationary vaccinators in London. The number of letters received and answered amounts to 21 10,028. The board also particularly notice the increased 11 demand for lymph from the Colonial and Emigration office for the use of emigrants and convicts. There has ,! been a similar increase in the applications from the dis- 1( pensaries and hospitals in Ireland, where, although vac- 2( cination is greatly extended, much still requires to be 2( accomplished. It is also mentioned as a gratifying fact, 2€ that all foreign countries having diplomatic intercourse with this kingdom are supplied by the National Bo ar d ; 20 and the lymph has been furnished for introduction into • 6 China and parts of Africa. In conclusion, th e b oard 20 state that they have to much reason to lament the opera- 10. tion of influences emanating from ignorance, prejudice, 20 or apathy, which continue to obstruct the pr ogress of % 20 vaccination, and they therefore rejoice to learn that a ' 20 bill, intituled, "An Act further to extend and make I 20 compulsory the practice of Vaccination," has been , 20 brought into Parliament. The board beg to refer to 10 their report of 1850, in which th e y th ought it rig ht to) 20 20 remind her Majesty's Government that "the progress of 10 vaccination was more rapid in foreign countries, where ' 20 municipal measures or legislative en ac t ments are adopted IF 20 to promote its dissemination, and they expressed their 4 20 conviction that, if England is to be free from the small- 84 pox, the interposition of the Legislature alone, by wise 10 and comprehensive measures, can disarm the pestilence 20, of its terror, and realis e th e f on d hopes and prayers of 1 0 the friends f humanity for its extinction." 20 TRE SHARE MARKETS.
