After much confusion in the endeavour to obtain an ad j ourranent, HUDSON said that he was quite sure that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would not wish his statements to go forth to the world, without a counter-statement along with it; for he was quite sure that in common j ustice to the Noble Lord, the Member for Lynn, it was necessary to do so.— ( Cheers, and grea t confusion.) The Right Honour able Gentleman bad, in bringing this matter for wa,d, alluded only to the quantity of the bullion, now in the Bank, but had said nothing at all of the deposits. In 1841, the amount of bullion in the Bank was only about 2,000,0001. or 3,000,0001. The pressure was precisely that which was now felt in the commercial community. He per fectly agreed in the necessity of granting the assistance to the Irish railroads, and was perfectly ready to vote for the amount proposed. Mr. THOMAS BARING said that in the whole of the observations of the Right Hon. Chancellor of the Exchequer he had not touched upon the real question before the House. Tha' question was not so much as to the amount of specie in the hand• of the Bank, as to the facility which the Corporation gave to the operations of commerce. In old times the bank was expected to provide for the contingencies of business, and did do so, and the real matter to be considered, therefore, was as to the system which it now pursued. Mr. FORBES could not but express his surprise that when the Government had been voting 8,060,000/. for the support of the Irish poor, that se much debate should ensue on a grant of 500,0004, which was certain to return its own interest. Mr. J. A. SMITH wished to say a very feat words before the House adjourned. air. ABEL SMITH said that a general want of co nfidence prevailed throughout the country with respe ct to the Bank o f England, and he thought that one of the evils under the exist 'orz Bank Bill was that requiring a lar g e amount of ‘‘ rest. lie h. s ight that if the Bank were allowed to increase its cu m! it would tend greatly to remove the state of alarm wh-ch existed throughout the country. He had never known a feeling of alarm so general and wide spread as the present had been for the last few days, and he must say at the same time that, in his opinion, the alarm was totally unfounded. After a few words from the Marquis of GRANBY and Mr. MARX PHILIPS, Mr. NEWDEGATE said, that in his opinion his Noble Friend the Member for Lynn had been treated unfairly by the ('h tricellor of the Exchequer. His Noble Friend did not say that a restriction of the issues had taken place, but it was Itk..ly that such would take place. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in answer to a question put to him by Mr. Mark Philips, said that it was hi s , ifie ntion to adjourn the further discussion of the measure until this day. The House then resumed, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. LANDED PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a second time. TRANSFERENCE OF LAND (SCOTLAND) BILL. This Bill was read a sec 9ad time. THE HERITABLE SEW RITIES FOR DEBT (SCOT. LAND) BILL was also read a second time. THE NAVAL SERVICE OF BOYS BILL.

In both Houses this assumed hostility was dilated on to the utmost degree. The greatest respect and venerati6n was professed for his Grace's authority. The chief speakers declared that if satisfied that it had his con currence and approval, they would withdraw their opposition, and consent to the proposed alterations. It was almost certain that his Grace's assent had been obtained ; that the Executive would not have brought forward any measure relating to the army in opposition to his wishes. •It would, indeed, be a bad compliment to the veteran to suppose it possible that he could support a measure of such importance unless satisfied of its propriety ; but still it was repeated in all places, both in and out of the Senate, usque ad nauseam, that he was opposed to the change, and foresaw its injurious consequences, and his name was used as a tower of strength against the progress of the Bill. Nothing can be more decisive than the manner in which his Grace has now spoken. Ile says, in alluding to the disastrous consequences that would follow if the country were de prived of the services of old and experienced soldiers—" It is my opinion, however, that the pre sent measure is not calculated to have such an effect. It is my opinion, that considering all the circum stances connected with this measure, considering the comfort that the soldier already enjoys, considering the other advantages about to be conferred on him, it is not likely to be attended with the effect of diminishing the service of the old sol dier." And again—" And I earnestly recom mend your Lordships to let this measure pass ;" and, subsequently, " and therefore I entreat your Lordships to adopt it." Surely we shall no longer have the repetition of these reckless and unwarranted assertions as to the Duke's hostility to the measure. The able and talented speech of Earl GREY in moving the second reading of the Bill was perfectly conclusive in its favour. He traced with a masterly hand the improvements that have been effected of late years in the condition of the soldiers, and their bene ficial results, not only in his conduct and character, but also in his health and longevity, ameliorations that had been so gradually introduced that few were aware of the extent of the changes; and declared that the present measure was strictly in conformity with those already adopted, and formed a most important step in the progress of improvement so long going on. Hie explained the gradual change effected in the system of corporal punishment, when, in the course of twenty-one years, from the infliction of 1,200 lashes as part of a sentence of 1,900, they had come down to a state of things when 50 lashes was the maximum punishment. He traced the improvements in the comforts of the soldier, in his accommodation in barracks, his means of recreation, and the better quality of his food. He showed the good effects of regimental savings' banks and regimental schools, and produced returns by which it appeared that crime had diminished, that there were fewer punishments of every description. There were results no less remarkable in the diminished mortality, by which the annual saving of human life was 1,035 men, equal to one whole battalion which had in past years been annihilated by death. But, satis factory as were these statements, it was still more pleasing to hear that improvement was not at an end, that much was still to be done to render admission into the army a boon to the labouring man. The pension to the well-behaved soldier will be restored to that established in 1806. In fact, every means are to be taken to make the soldier feel that his dismissal would be a severe punishment, as it is now felt to be in the police; and when that is attained we shall have attained every object. His Lordship also showed the good effects of having in the country a body of men trained to the use of arms, whose services could be made available in case of invasion or any other emergency. The second reading was finally carried by a majority of fourteen. We trust that its efficacy will not be impaired by any changes in Committee. The utmost vigilance of its friends will be necessary to guard against such an unto wa rd circumstance. anointed body, and her propitiating youth have hitherto been invested. She may, by the dilatorines , of. her submission to circumstances, lose for ever th, glorious prerogative of her moral influence over man \ millions of the human family. Before she endanger , the possession of that inestimable treasure she should yield to the dictates of prudence; she shculd recog nise her true safeguard, not in the frigates of 73 friendly ally, but in the love of an ardent nation ; not in loaded muskets, but in surcharged heath ; not in a bragging and imbecile military, but in a loyal and pacified population. Intelligence from Lisbon to the 21st has been re. ceived. The Canopus has taken her station ofi Block-house Square, for the protection of the Britisl subjects and British property. Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR had proffered the mediation of the British! Government to arrange between the Government and the insurgents. The terms of arrangement proposed were the proclamation of an amnesty, the formation of a new Ministry composed of the moderate men of both parties, and the immediate convocation of the Cortes. To this latter article it is said objections have been made. DIETZ, it is satisfactory to know, has at length been compelled to quit the country. lie sailed from Lisbon on the 21st, in the Iberia. The expulsion of this foreign 2faire du Pulois, cannot but tend to the advantage of Portugal. In the meantime, MELLo and SA DA BANDEIRA are ad- vancing upon Lisbon from the south, and matters will, in all probability, be soon brought to a crisis. The Junta have now an army of 14,000 men, well fed, well armed, and well disciplined. They have a large sum of money in hand at Oporto, and are negotiating a loan. The citadel of Viana is still unrelieved, and the garrison will soon be starved into capitulation. SALDANIIA still remains in his old quarters. H. M. S. Superb was fired on by mistake from the castle of Queijo. An apology in writing was made by the authorities of the Junta for this mistake of their officer. Madrid journals of the 19th have been received. Don FRANCISCO had appeared in public with the QUEEN on the 18th, the first time they have appeared together for several weeks. It is rumoured that the financial measures of SALAMANCA will be strongly opposed in the Chamber of Deputies. Should they be beaten, the Ministers, it is said, will resign, in which case it is possible that the QUEEN may confide the task of forming a new Ministry to Senor OLOZAGA. In consequence of the formal application of the Portuguese Ambassador for assistance, four thousand men have been ordered to march to Badajoz. Count DE VISTA HERMOSA is their temporary commander, but he will be succeeded by General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA, so soon as the latter shall return from Paris. An army of seven thousand men is now assembled on the Portuguese frontier. MADRID BOLSA, APRIL 19.—The Three per Cents. declined s per cent. on the Madrid Stock Exchange on the 19th, and closed at 30i for cash; the Five per Cents., 20 ; the Passives, 6 ; and the Coupons, 17 for cash. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Journal des Dads has the following from Lisbon : " We have this evening re ce i v ed important news f rom Lisbon, which induces us to hope that the violent crisis which has for so long a time agitated that unfortunate country is at length about to end. The Queen of Portugal having, agreeably to the stipulations of the treaty of qua druple alliance, claimed the intervention of France,Englar.d, and Spain, those three Governments have hastened to coup ply with her desire, anti to assure her of their effectual co operation. The Queen offered the insurgents a complete am nesty, the re-establishment of the charter, the convocation of the Cortes, and a mixed administration, consisting of mo derate men of both parties. A part of the crews of two English ships, of a French brig, and of a Spanish corvette, stationed in the Tagus, have been landed, in order to co-ope rate in the defence ofjthe Queen and Royal Family, as well as in placing in safety Lisbon, which capital is seriously threatened. On the 12th of April the insurgents were in the following posi- tions :—The left bank of the Tagus had been invaded by the Count de Mello ; he had entered Setabal, and even taken possession of Palmella ; he had driven from it General Abren, who, with the wreck of his troops had retired to the for tress of Almala, situate at half a league from Liston, on the right bank of the Tagus. There the Queen's troops could easily hold. Lisbon had not ceased to be calm, all the tur bulent and disafected portion of the population having long joined the insurgents. The English ship the Canopus was stationed in front of the Place of Commerce. The Sidon had arrived on the 11th of April at Lisbon, from England. The departure of Counsellor Dietz was more than ever talked ot, and it was said that the Viscount de Carreiru would, hi his stead, superintend the education of the Prince Royal and Infantes. That the insurgents would accept the Queen's proposals was not doubted. Four thousand of Spanish troops have been ordered to march to the frontier of Portugal. Mr. DIETZ, the peddling schoolmaster of Portugal, cannot fortunately obtain the arrears of his salary, and has, consequently, retired from the palace in dudgeon. There is, therefore, some glimmering of hope, though as yet it is but feeble and fitful. Queen MARIA DA GLORIA has, nevertheless, been so deeply imbued with the policy of the Gallic intriguers, that The same journal announces that a reconciliation has taken place between the Queen of SPAIN and her husband, Don FRANCISCO, and that the latter had, fur the first time, received the new Ministry. According to the Union Monarchique, M. Bois LE COMTE IS to be the new French Ambassador at Madrid. the present disasters are still likely to continue for a very protracted period. From the intelligence which has just arrived from the distracted Peninsula it would appear that the insurgents have, without embarrassing themselves with any overt act of hos tility, encompassed the Royalists, and driven them to extremities. By accumulating their forces south of the Tagus, and evincing every disposition to pro secute their military endeavours, the Junta have so far frightened the immediate advisers of the SOVEREIGN as to induce her to appeal for protection to the naval armaments of Great Britain. This alone is an im portant step of retrogression. This alone is a left handed concession to the populace. This alone is a testimony that the bauble of kingly authority is cracked and splintered. Queen MARIA is impelled to seek that security from the English which her erroneous system of government has denied to her from the Portuguese. She has estranged herself from her own lieges by her very unpatriotic proceed ings in the way of legislation ; she has yielded herself to the moral domination of that true Ouvieß Dam- BARD, the schoolmaster DIETZ. But the cause of the multitude is becoming triumphant. Thanks to the vitality which is inherent in every national and rational conclave, the Junta are approaching the goal to which they have been so long and earnestly pressing onwards. It cannot be forgotten in these peaceful days that a reinforcement of Marines departed from Portsmouth on the 6th ult., in the Sidon steamer ; and it certainly cannot be forgotten that that military armament was the bearer of fresh instructions to Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR, authorising him to make a direct proffer of the triple mediation of the British, French, and Spanish Governments. One proviso accom panied this offer of conciliation and recon ciliation—viz., that her Portuguese MAJESTY should consent to the terms which had been previously and repeatedly stipulated. Whether there be something of hereditary obstinacy is the blood of the Bra ganzas, or whether MARIA DA GLORIA iS Solicitous to figure in history as a romantic fugitive—in an in cident, say, that might suggest a companion picture to the escape of the Queen of SCOTS from Lochleven Castle, or of MARY of Modena in an open skiff on the Thames— it is certain that her MAJESTY is struggling with the most insane perversity against a course she must ultimately be forced to adopt. She rejected the proffered media tion on a former occasion. She has rejected it again, and for a similar reason—the unpalatable nature of the preliminary terms. Now, for the better comprehension of the wisdom of Queen Menvi's refusal, let us examine the extent and cha racter of these repugnant terms. They may be very briefly enumerated ; they are—the proclamation of an amnesty to the insurgents, the dismissal of the present Ministers, the establishment of a new and liberal Administration, and the immediate assembling of the Cortes. These are the ingredients in the poisoned goblet tendered on the one side by the triple mediators. On the opposite hand there is held aloft the sharpened dagger of popular indignation. Like Fair ROSAMOND, the Queen of PORTUGAL, has this alternative alone. Let her, like Fair ROSAMOND, drain the goblet instead of tempting the dagger to descend, and she will find that the draught, instead of being poisonous, is life-giving and exhilirating. We are uttering no fable; ours are not the prettily tin selled sentences that glitter and have no meaning. We speak the language of conviction, and we speak that language with an earnestness derived from our anxiety to see the woes of anarchy prevented, and the animosities which have unguardedly arisen between the Portuguese and their youthful SOVEREIGN brought to a quick and satisfactory conclusion. they will be wrenched Unless MARIA DA GLORIA make the re quired e n d f i r m o m m ed h i e a r te grace, w w it r h h a Govern ment with an ignominious harshness. Possibly, in deed, by denying the boons of constitutional liberty to her people durin g protracted an interval, she ma rout out the prestige with which her name, het The rumour of the submission of the Kabyles is confirmed by a telegraphic dispatch from Algiers, of the date of the 20th of April. The mountaineers acknowledge themselves subject to France, and will pay her an annual tribute, which shall be remitted to Algiers. No enemy to France shall be receivelin the mountains. All Europeans shall travel in the interior of the country in perfect safety, and the roads shall be kept free and safe by the tribes and their chiefs. On the other hand, so long as these stipulations shall be observed, the Governor-General of Algeria engages, in the name of France, not to march any French troops into the country. " The importance and utility of such a convention will," says the Journal des Debuts, " naturally strike everybody. The grand expedition to Kabylia, which has so ofien been talked of, becomes useless; and the disagreement which had arisen respecting the expedition between the Budget Com mittee of the Chamber of Deputies and the Minister of War is thereby appeased. The vast country which now spon taneously submits forms a triangle, the basis of whicli extends on the Mediterranean from Dellys to Budgia, and the summit of which is at Setif. Budgia and Gigelli, which are the two natural ports of Setif, had been blockaded for fifteen years past on the land side. Henceforward, Setif, which supplies itself by Constantine, will enjoy those two outlets, and already have French supplies been conv e y e d from Budgia to Setif by the Kabyles, and faithfully delivered at the latter place. Henceforward, also, European trade will be enabled to penetrate into a region which had hitherto been inaccessible. The rich iron mines of the Jurjura will be explored, and perhaps our engineers will soon teach the Kabyles the mining methods of French science. The prospects of Algeria are certainly greatly improved by this convention." Several petitions, praying for the total and imme diate abolition of slavery in the French colonies, were presented to the Chamber of Peers on Saturday. On the 22d Mr. O ' CONNELL left Lyons for Valence, in a steamboat, accompanied by a physician of the former town. The Learned Gentleman was to sojourn in the south of France until he recovered strength enough to resume his journey to Rome. The weather was in Paris on Sunday " so inviting as to attract to the races in, the Champ de Mars the speculators in the funds, who usually pass their sabbath in the Passage de I'Opera. Little was doing in the Three per Cents. in consequence. The price, 77f. 85c., was nearly nominal." BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE , APRIL 26.

The Cotton mcrket at Liverpool yesterday was very lepressed, and prices were id. per lb. lower. Sales, 2,500 bales, all to the trade. Two thousand bales Ame ican were at 6d. to 7d. per lb.—Railway Shares had been very heavy again. It is very much to be regretted that statements should be made by influential journals, in times espe sally like the present, to cast blame and doubt upon .. uch a body as the Court of Directors of the Bank of England. But such has been the course pursued in the " City Department" of the Tinier of late. In the •nonetary and commercial circles of the great metropolis the charges, direct and implied, in the articles referred to have little or no weight, because bankers and mer ',harts have superior Sources of information to guide them. But in the country it is far, very far, different. impulse there takes - frequently the place of sound discretion and calm consideration upon wi'dly iazarded assertions emanating from our city, and course is pursued in most instances precisely opposite to that which ought, under other circumstances, to have been adopted. In the absence of facts bold assertions have been too frequently of late made in the quarter we have alluded to, the effects of whicn have been such as we have stated. Alarm and bad management was excited and alleged on many occasions. And now, strange to say, when in the City it may fairly be hoped that things have seen their worst, we are very gravely told by the same authority this morning, " That the excessive force of the pressure, which has occurred to-day, is the result of exaggerated alarm'will be at once apparent on reflection. We are not suffering under any contraction of the circulation. By the last return, the notes in the hands of the public were 20,240,0001., being higher than any amount at which they stood during the entire months of February and March," &c. The ques here is asked, how stand these remarks, compared with those which were made in the "City Department" of our Contemporary many times previously? Who exagge rated the panic or alarm? There is but one opinion upon the subject in circles competent to judge upon such matters. The advices received to-day from New York, al though advising higher markets for corn and cotton, bring the exchange better, viz., HAI to 105. When the intelligence of the Bank of England's policy arrives out there will probably be a further rally in the latter. Accounts of March 3 have come to hand from the Cape of Good Hope. There is nothing new from Kafir land. Sir Henry Pottinger had arrived at Port Eliza beth, but, owing to the swelling of the rivers, had not been enabled to proceed into the interior. An address of congratulation had been presented to his Excellency, but the reply given excites the colonists to rely upon themselves, as well as upon the Government, and is cha racterised by the usual modesty of an able man. • There has been rather an improving market again for the English securities, although the demand for money in the Discount Market continues to be severely felt. Consols have realised 851 to 861 for present transfer, and 861 for. time. Consols Scrip is 31 discount. Ex chequer-bills have fallen materially, having been done as low as 4s. to IQs. discount. The New Three-and- a- Quarter per Cents. have been 861 to 871, and the Three per Cents, 858 to 851. In the Foreign House the transactions have been very limited. Spanish Five per Cents. are nominally 248.; Portuguese Four per Cents., 34 ; and Mexican, 20. The reported fall of Vera Cruz will account for the heaviness of Mexican stock. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 5841, and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 95k. Railway Shares have been much the same as yester day, with a limited business doing.

Vinisterre. RAILWAY commlrrEES. (THIS. DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP I. The Select Committee appointed to ct nsider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group, rea , s. mbled in Room :30, at the usual hour this morning; Mr. W. 0. Stanley in the chair. THE BRIGHTON (MID-BENT) SCHEME. Mr. AUSTIN resumed his reply. He commenced this morning with the question of competition. He contended that if the Committee were so enamoured of that rrinciple as to induce them to grant the Brighton Mid Kent line, they could not refuse the Croydon line to the South-Eastern Company, because without that short branch the South-Eastern would be at the mercy of the Bright= Company, and would also have ' the key of the continental traffic in their possession, and that state of things would effect ially render all competition nuga tory. Again, he must tell ..he Committee that the Brighton Company were not anxious to make the line. It was not promoted by them for the purpose of being made, but with the view of defeating the &nth-Eastern plan. The Committee were aware of the 20,0001. tax the Croydon Company received from the South-Eastern Company, without expending one farthing on their part, and nothing was too desperate for them, to under take to perpetrate that abominable impost. They found no difficulty in entering into agreements with landholders, be cause they never intended to carry them out. It was a feel ing of that sort which had dictated their " bid" for this line. The Committee would perceive that nothing was heard of the low Brighton fares until after Mr. MacGregor had stated the tolls the South-Eastern Company were prepared to pledi..,e themselves to. It was a palpable trick, a species of bribe held out to the Committee, . or why were not the fares mentioned in the Brighton Bill. He hoped, therefore, the Committee would, by their decision, discountenance this forced and unnatural species of bidding for lines, and teach the Brighton Company that the time had arrived when Parliament felt called upon to put a stop to such abominable trickery on the part of public companies. lie . could not find terms sufficiently strong to express his disgust of conduct like this, but he toped when the Brighton Company came before a Committee for Bills again, Parliament would inflict retributive justice upon them by inserting a clause in one of their Bills, compelling them to take the low fares they had attempted to bribe the Committee with on that occasion. But the trick should not succeed, and he would tell the Committee why they should not succeed. The public, at all events, should not be injured by the conduct of the Brighton Company in respect to low fares. He had advised his clients—and all who were present well knew that he was speaking . literal facts—he had advised his reluctant clients to meet the attempt of the Brighton Company, if the members of the Committee thought it right to encounter the responsibility, by pledging them selves to adopt the fares of the Brighton Company. He made this offer to defeat the trick of the Brighton Com pany, but he hoped the Committee, if they did not feel themselves bound by the bid of the Brighton Company, would not accept. It was not an offer made spontaneously by his clients, but by himself, and he made it ai he had stated to defeat dishonourable trickery. He hoped, however, the Committee would see fit to pass the South-Eastern Bill without feeling themselves called upon to ask the company to pledge themselves to the ruinously low fares of the Brighton Company. The room was then cleared, and the Committee having deliberated for about half an hour, strangers were readmitted, and the CHAIRMAN announced the TRE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY :;. - Xf'f.,• , * - ..: - *re ' ~-s:1 • , ....,,.,, 1 •,.; 1, , ' " 4 le t ,„... - ,-, - -,•4 ~.t. , .. „ _ '-‘, 4 .4. , -- • -- 4e, •0' 'I IN 4/ I .ollllk i _,;,?•,;.7,4P . 4 , X, ‘',, , -,,,,, .., • : 4 ~, „,• . • A g: E r n e : - ~ ,r*,, , ,:_l 7a,r; 4,•• '; • ,•-. SECOND EDITION. I.l' truing 2")1M3 LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1847. The situation of the discount market is the all absorbing subject of speculation amongst the mer cantile community. In most instances discounts have become impossible, and where parties can obtaSn them the rates sub mitted to on first-rate paper varies from 6 to 10 per cent. The denial of accommodation in the manufacturing districts, where bankers have depended on the re disebunt of bills in the London market, is adding to the difficulties arising from the high price of the raw materiel, and causing the total stoppage of some mills and the working of short time in all. From the best accounts we can collect not more than one-half the quantity of corn ordered has as yet arrived, and of that which has already come to hand not more than one •half has actually been paid for, so far as its influence on the specie is yet felt. The Bank of England has ceased to be an institu tion which can afford relief. It can afford protection to no class of traders, nor can the credit of its large capital and long standing be brought beneficially to bear. It is even forced, in a fruitleos attempt to regain its position, to add to the difficulties of the actual crisis. The unpropitious weather which we have lately ex perienced must tend, at least, to rettird the harvest, even should it be as abundant as desired. Under these accumulated embarrassments, is it diffi cult to foresee the ialminenea of a commercial crisis; or that sooner or later the Government will be con strained to interfere to prevent the headlong depre ciation of property, and the destitution of our labour ing population ? Is is that the Government waits for some even more severe test of the pressure before it affords the requisite aid ; cr, does it entertain the vague hop?, in presence of so many realities, that the crisis is but temporary ? We believe, and regret it deeply, there are parties connected with the Bank management who are prodigal in assurances that it all will soon be over, and who assert that the Bank has nothing else to do but to call in its securities, in order to augment its reserve of notes. It is evident this opinion prevails strongly in the Bank parlour, as appears by the violent action on its securities within the past week. Notwithstanding this futile attempt of the Bank, the object aimed at (the increase in its bank-note reserve), has not been obtained. The re serve is again diminished and a contrary effect pro duced, as a slight reference to the last return will show. Between the 10th and the 17th of this month the Bank reduced its securities, public and private, 2,922,0001. Did its reserve increase in the same ratio ? On the contrary, its reserve has actually decreased by 376,572/. Here is a violent action without result within seven days. It is evident, while the rate of discount is so high, that each reduction in the securities of the Bank must produce a corre sponding one in the deposits. This is amply proved, for within the same period the private deposits have been called up to the extent of 1,253,0451. to replace, no doubt, the accommodation denied by the Bank. No sooner are bank-notes forced in at one door of the Bank than they steal out at another. In this state of things, which paralyses all trade, and has hecome the anxious topic of all circles, not one word until last night had been spoken, or ques tion put in Parliament. Has, therefore, a common calamity, in which all are equally involved, become a matter of so much delicacy, or are our legislators so apathetic, or so meek, before the great author of all this mischief, or can the just complaints of the suffer.ing community find no voice, no advocate within the walls of Parliament ? Is any one bold enough to say the danger is surmounted, or can any one indicate the quarter of the horizon from whence a gleam of hope may be seen ? We confess we have waited patiently before speak ing out so plainly. We expected ere this to have seen the initiative undertaken, and the danger averted, either by the Bank, by the Government, or by Par liament itself. Let us not deceive ourselves or expect anything from party. It is not a party question, and, above all, the present Government are free from re proach. The class most immediately affected and whose fortune is in the scales, must arouse them selves to instant action. Parliament must be peti tioned ; deputations from the principal towns formed, and, late as is the session, a simultaneous effort made to get rid of the Bill of 1844, which is now on all hands admitted as defective in principle and perni cious in practice. The Duke of WELLINGTON has spoken out—the opinion of the veteran Commander-in-Chief has at length been obtained on the much-disputed question of limited enlistment. In the premature discussions that were forced on, every attempt was made to elicit the nature and character of the advice which that dis tinguished officer in his official capacity tendered to the Cabinet on the subject. The impropriety of that attempt was forcibly br pointed . out, the evil precedent c ommunication itshhatlitolf that vents wo uld be established that iot y uvt hl e id a ne t a confiden tialoktheplparclevabteetwanedentheser results of any C eonte n rw , when i considering the probable made public, and revecaledl ef the ated enactment, were to be to all who desired jo satisfy It was mani festat the proper illustriouslaantaeciteldtDuke could their curiosity, Was timet.halt It was o c p er in ta io in ns th wr not rest satisfied with q uestion so materially aftecting that b ranch vote on a . of the P ublic service over w hich he so worthily presi des, and that all the information that could reasonably be de sired would be obtained at the fitting per i od, and before their Lordships were in any degree committed either to the principle or the details of the measure.

The CHAIRMAN said I have to inform you that it is the opinion of the Committee that the preamble of the South-Eastern (North Kent line) has been proved— that the preamble of the South-Eastern (Stro-d and Maidstone line) has been proved—that the pre- - amble of the Mid Kent, Direct Tonbridge, and Paddock Wood Branch has been proved, omitting the branches to Sevenoaks and Maidstone, and the branch from Maidstone'to Chart, and the branch to Bromley and Croydon, that the preamble of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Bill, Mid-Kent, and Direct Tonbridge line, has not been proved. It is the opinion of the Committee that it is of importance with the public interest that the North Kent and Strood and Maid stone lines should be constructed first, and therefore it is the intention of the Committee in those cases to limit the time for the compulsory purchase of land to three years, and the completion of the lines to five years; but considering the pre sent state of the money market, the Committee proposed to extend the time in the case of the Mid-Kent lines to five years and seven years. The consideration of the clauses was adjourned till to. morrow. GROUP VI. SALISBURY AND YEOVIL. EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DOELCIIESTEIL The Committee met this morning at twelve; Mr. Deedes, chairman. The first wit seas called by the promoters of these lines was Mr. Cuff, the late mayor of Chard. His evidence went to show the great facilities which would be afforded to the inhabitants of Chard by the continuation of these railways. Mr. Divett, M.P. for Exeter, was the next witness called —He gave evidence in favour of the desirableness of a com peting and independent line between Exeter and London. With respect to the comparative merits of the gauges, he gave it as his opinion that the broad gauge line was a luxury to the inhabitants of Exeter, and he believed that the re moval of that gauge would prove a positive injury to that part of the country. He was a director of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, but, at the same time, he could not help thinking that the construction of a competing line on the narrow gauge would prove of great service to the western districts of the country. The feeling of the people of Exeter was also decidedly in favour of a narrow gauge competing line. Sir J. Duckworth, M.P. for Exeter, gave evidence corro borative of that given by the last witness with respect to the feelings of the people of Exeter in favour of the proposed lines, and the advantages to be derived to the inhabitants of Exeter and the west of England by their construction. Several other witnesses were examined, and the Com mittee adjourned till twelve to-morrow. GROUP IX. WEST CORNWALL AND IinIINCIIES. This Committee met, for the first time, to-day. ➢lr. Tatty, Egerton, chairman. Mr.*SAtint opened the case for the promoters of a branc' to `t. Ice's. The length of the line was three miles, the cost of con struction, with quays, 70,0001. Evidence was gone into to prove the preamble. GROUP XVI. The Committee assembled to-day ; Sir James Graham, chairman. STOUR VALLEY (No. XI), The witnesses called this morning in favour of the line proposed by the Stour Valley Railway were Mr. Scott, M.P. for Walsall, and Mr. Thompson,, manager of the British Iron. Works at We and several'others, all of whom gav,e evi dence favourable to the line as proposed by the Skit. Valley Company, in preference to the accommodation proposed to be given by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway. GROUP XVIII. CHELTENHAM AND OXX'ORD. The Committee assembled this' morning at twelve o'clock ; the: Earl of Lincoln in the chair. The whole of the morn ing was consumed in the cross-examination of Mr. Brunel, chiefly on the minor points of the deviations that would affect certain parts of the town of Cheltenham, the details of which would, withcut a very lengthy elaboration, be totally unintelligible; and if that were given it would be utterly uninteresting.

The case on behalf of this scheme was resumed. Mr. Henry Marshall the extensive manufacturer of Leeds, was generally examined as to the advantages the proposed station would confer on the town and neighbourhood. Such a station was much wanted to centralise the traffic in Leeds, and its public advantages were such as fully to warrant the proposed outlay. Mr. Gott, manufacturer, of Leeds, was examined to the same effect. Mr. Martin, a surveyor, entered into a statement of the station, explaining its peculiar advantages, and the lines that were to be accommodated. It was to furnish accommo dation for the following lines :—Leeds and Thirsk ; Leeds and Dewsbury; Great Northern, and Manchester and Leeds Railway Companies. The estimated cost was 300,0001. GROUP LI. This Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock; Sir John Y. Buller chairman. GLASGOW, DUNIrRIES, AND CARLISLE, AND GLASGOW, PAISLEY, xxxaman, zrocic, AND AYR RAILWAYS (NO. II.) Mr. Smith Cunningham was called by the promoters, and examined by Sir Thomas Phillips. Witness, a landed pro prietor, near Kilmarnock, and deputy-lieutenant of Ayr shire, gave general evidence in favour of the line. The county of Ayr had a population of some 170,000 or 180,000 inhabitants, Renfrew had a population of 120,000, and Kil marnock might be considered the centre of the district. The district was a highly industrial one, and facilities of com munication were greatly wanted. The inhabitants of the district were decidedly in favour of the Dumfries company. Mr. Hugh Craig and Mr. Neil also spoke to the trade of Kilmarnock, and the growing character of the manufactures in the district. Mr. Alexander gave similar evidence.

On going to the ship, how ever, when she had anchored in the river, off the Prince's Parade, half way across the stream, he found that some mis take had occurred; and determined not to leave without his property, he forthwith plunged overboard, and, notwith standing the powerf u l e bb of the tide, swam boldly ashore to the parade, holding in one hand a bundle of clothes of by no with wet, inconsiderable si ze . O n l and i ng, though dripping wet, he appeared to 'treat the feat with the au - 11ot ii=ha• lance. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) EAT IVLAR 31LE T S .
