THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH MANCHESTER, JAN. 21.—Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, the clouds became very dull and hazy, which was immediately followed by a heavy fall of snow, which has continued without intermission up to this hour (four o'clock). The snow is now at least a foot deep in the streets, and in the fields and on unfrequented roads much deeper. Many cf the railway trains have been detained in consequence, more es pecially those from Liverpool. The snow storm, though severe here, is, I learn on inquiry, but partial. I was in • formed by a passenger on board the Commodore, from Glasgow to Liverpool. that the snow storm was first felt about twelve o'clock on Tuesday, at midnight, off the Isle of Man.

PEEL so to have ; shaped his course on the first night of the session as to have ensured, within a short period, the overthrow of the present advisers of the Crown. The agricul tural nature of the questions, officially decided to be the first to engage the attention of the Senate, and the specious reflections which he might, with his known skill and address, have cast upon the past errors (if any) of the Government—first, in connexion with Ireland ; next, in regard to the delay in open ing the ports—left nothing undesired to the ex-Premier had he coveted an opportunity for accomplishing the resignation of the Cabinet. Instead, however, of in viting any political combination which would have produced such an untoward result, Sir R. PEEL, by the declarations he has made, at the earliest possible period, has assured the Government that he will sus tain them against any Protectionist opposition in the same honourable spirit in which Lord JOIIN RUSSELL and his party, in the last session, supported him against the same force ; and that he will likewise con sider their past and present difficulties with sentiments of forbearance and generosity. Such conduct was disinterested, noble, and patriotic ; and such being the part which Sir R. PEEL was prepared to take, it mattered little, except in so far as the economy in time was concerned, what were to be the tactics of the Protectionists. To Sir R. PEEL, and not to them, did the country look, and will continue to look, for that additional Parliamentary strength (beyond what is included in the ranks, exclusively Ministerial), of which the Government may stand in need for succcessfully carrying through the different im portant measures required to redeem us from a national crisis of a very alarming character. We are not indifferent to the advantages of unanimity, but we suspected that the reason we were not bereft of them by the Protectionists, in either the Upper or Lower House, during the debate on the Address, ' sprang not from choice, but necessity. We knew the monopolists to be of a class of politicians on whom the lessons of experience are lost, whose pre tensions to wisdom render them a laughing-stock, and whose impulses of humanity never cross the frontiers of selfishness. Their quiet demeanour on the first night of the session is to be attributed, not to any change in their nature or opinions, but to the awful ordeal of harrowing distress which thousands upon thousands of our fellow-beings have been, and are still, destined to undergo in Ireland and the Western Highlands. As a party, then, the Protectionists would have been utterly gone, beyond all salvation of credit with the country, had they held any other language than that of sympathy for the keen afflictions of their Scotch and Irish brethren. Wise in their own generation, they merely bowed to the storm, and whispered a disposi tion to acquiesce in meliorative measures. _ . No sooner, however, has an harmonious answer been given to the Speech from the Throne than out bursts the Lord of Goodwood, with all his pristine virulence. Impatient of the decent restraint in which he had been fettered for a few hours, his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND rushed to Brighton, to preside at the dinner of the Sussex Agricultural Protection Society, which came off ou Thursday. Closely associated as this chi valrous Peer is with Lord STANLEY, the observations of his Grace furnish us with a satisfactory clue to the animus of the party. The ducal speech was 1 fraught with sweltering venom. Old sores were rudely ripped open—the " duplicity of Sir ROBERT PEEL, lost to every honourable feeling, his conduct of last year a disgrace to the English House of Com mons and to the nati ona l c h arac t er , t h e unprin -1 cipled legislation of the House of Lords, Scc." —these, and similar hair-brained sentences, formed the staple commodities of the Duke of RICHMOND'S peculiar and unrivalled oratory. A great check wculd be given to intoxication could a drunken man only once recognise himself in a glass. In like manner, a man drunk with passion is equally incorrigible, from being unconscious of the ridiculous figure he cuts under the influence of morbid excitement. It would be idle to assure the agricultural Peer that his inflated harangues are suicidal. His Grace has "the greatest confidence in the good sense of the people of England ;" the people must grievously lament they cannot return the com pliment. Ills Grace is for " pulling off his gloves by and bye, and having a stand-up fight." All this is very jocose bombast, sound, and fury, signifying nothing. Better far for his Grace to run back into the school-room, and store his mind, than remain truant in the play-ground, blowing bubbles in the air. There are mcny excellent traits in the Duke of RICHMOND'S character, but his re peated hallucinations are painful in the extreme. Don QUIXOTE had his individual excellences, but his greatest admirers blush for his pranks among the mountains. employment, and the removal of the impediments that now obstruct it. These are shortly the points embraced, and it is impossible not to agree in the soundness and propriety of the principles laid down. It was by these very principles that the Government were actuated in framing the provisions of the Labour rate Act ; and had that statute been carried into execution in the manner contemplated by the Ministry it would have had the most beneficial effects. It was never supposed that the means thus afforded fur the absorption of the surplus labour, in the execution of public works that were left to the selection of the in habitants of the districts to be benefited thereby, and the expense of which was to be defrayed by easy instalments, spread over a period of ten years, would have superseded all private enterprise and exertion— would have led to the total abandonment of the agri cultural operations so necessary for the welfare of the proprietors and occupiers of the land, and of the country in general—would be made use of so reck lessly and with so little regard for the character of the works selected and sanctioned at the several sessions, that what was intended to be merely an auxiliary would be adopted as the chief, if not the only, mode of employing the population. Had its provisions been judiciously used, in place of being, as was unhappily the case, abused, the results would have been most valuable, and we might hereafter have said, in the words of the Select Committee on the state of the poor in Ireland, in 1830—" That the effects of these public works have been extended cul tivation, improved habits of industry, a better ad ministration of justice, the re - establishment of peace and tranquillity in disturbed districts, a domestic colonization of a population in excess in certain dis tricts, a diminution of illicit distillation, and a very considerable increase of the revenue." We do not now seek to enter into or investigate the causes that led to this failure, or to make charges against any parties or classes. We think there has been too', much recrimination, too great an anxiety to fix blame on every side. We merely desire to vindicate the Ministry from the imputations that have been cast upon them, to justify them from the reproaches with which they have been most unjustly assailed. Great facilities had been given to, and inducements held out, for private employment. Series of Acts relating to works of drainage, &c., enabled any landowner to obtain a loan at a moderate rate of interest, with ample time for the discharge of the principal, for the improvement of his - property. True it is that these Acts were not as perfect as they might hare been made, but much could have been effected under them, as may be seen from the report of the Highland and Agricultural Society, to which we some time since adverted, had they been duly used and taken advantage of; and, in order to give still greater facilities, the Executive took upon themselves the grave and serious responsibility of sanctioning large expenditures in a manner different from that authorised by the Legis lature. They have been charged, too, with diverting, the labour of the country from the ordinary agricul tural operations, that are of such vital importance that an adequate supply of labour could not be ob tained by the farmer to cultivate his fields. It is scarcely necessary to repeat that the rule, long since adopted and published by the Board of Works, is that every individual desirous of giving employment to any number of men, may have persons assigned to him from the public works, and if the persons so assigned refuse to work for him, they will forth with be discharged, and never again obtain public employment. The neglect of tillage and the want of n o t preparation to b e ascribedfor t the forthcomingto the G Government v ern b m a r e v n e t s t, works, therefore, or t the effects of the Labour-rate Act, but to the indisposition of the farmers themselves to take the necessary steps. Having thus rendered simple justice to the acts and motives of the Government, we are convinced they will still do everything in their power to cause the absorption of the surplus labour, to afford facilities for private employment, and to remove the im pediments that now obstruct it. Constantinople papers to the Ist have bee,* received. They confirm the intelligence previously received of a change in the Turkish Ministry. SAID PADUA Sue. ceeds KOSREW PACBA as Seraskier. The. Journal de Constantinople of the Ist informs us that the ex• Grand Vizier IZZET MOTIAMED PACUA, who had been living in exile since his dismissal from the post of Governor of Adrianople, iutended to fix his residence in Constanti nople. The Constantinople customs for the ensuing year have been sold to a company of Armenian:bankers for 120,000 purses (600,0001.) Madrid papers of the 14th have arrived. According to the Bcraldo, a new Ministerial combina tion is contemplated, which will include MoN, BRAVO Mtramr,o, and CAst lac.ro as members of a Cabinet of which IsTunrrz is to continne the chief. The discus sion on the Address had commenced in the Senate. TRIgTANY is at the head of a large band of Carlist: in Catalonia. and notwithstanding the exertions of Gen. BRETON, TitisTANy's forces are continually increasinc. His plan seems to be by feigning to retreat before th. QUEEN'S forces to endeavour to lure them into the mountains, where guerillas always fight regular troop at an advantage.

The unanimity which was manifested in Parlia ment on Tuesday evening, in deliberating upon the character of the Address to be transmitted to the SOVEREIGN in answer to her MAJESTY'S Speech from the Throne, has been happily continued upon the in troduction of the Ministerial propositions for the tem porary suspension of both the corn-laws and the navi gation laws. In the presence of the terrible afflictions of Ireland, and of the destitution suffered by the un murmuring population of Scotland, the factious ani mosities of last session are forgotten, and the splenetic vituperations which latterly disgraced the pages of " Hansard " are suppressed. This is well. Every lover of humanity will regard the commencement of the Parliamentary discussions f0r1847 as most honest and most commendable. No time is frittered away as heretofore, in the indulgence of individual malice. The representatives of the people see that the com munity is suffering sorely from a visitation such as scarcely possesses any parallel, and all private con siderations merge into the one national consideration, as to how the calamities consequent upon that visitation can be diminished or prevented. Animated with this ennobling sentiment, the difficulties of the Legislature are being wonderfully decreased and their embarrassing duties are being rapidly simplified. On the motion of the Prime Minister the Lower House resolves itself into a Committee, for the purpose of considering whether the 4i. duty now levied upon the importa tion of corn shall be remitted until the Ist of Septem ber next, and whether, for the further facilitation of the introduction of foreign grain, the laws relating to navigation shall in like manner be temporarily sus piided. As some indication of the entire concur rence of the House in the policy of this proposal, it is well to observe that the Minister is imme mediately seconded by Mr. BANKEs, one of the leaders of the Protectionist Opposition. But it is still better to find that, in the animated discussion which ensued, no substantial objections whatever were raised to thew Ministerial measures. On laying the matter before the Committee, Lord JOHN RUSSELL briefly but clearly explained the ne cessity for some such movement on the part of the Legislature. It would assuredly have been almost sufficient to bring conviction to the most sceptical mind to discover that the enormous amount of 4,800,000 quarters of corn from the foreign markets, and from the British dominions, has been imported into this country during the past year, without any sensible diminution of the scarcity of bread-stuffs, and with a fearful and continual rise in the price of grain. Those 4,800,000 quarters of corn were subsequently stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to be amply sufficient fur the support of 8,000,000 of persons during an interval of four months and a half—and yet the dearth was undi minished, and the prices were increased ! According to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, there was an expor tation of corn from Ireland to England during 1846, less by 1,300,000 quarters than during 1845 ; be sides which, 500,000 quarters of foreign corn, irre spective of the corn forwarded thither from the English ports, had been introduced into the Irish markets—and yet Sir IL W. BARRON can declare to Parliament, without any fear of contradiction, that in many parts of Ireland the price of wheat has reached the enormously high price of 823. per quarter ! The effect, moreover, of the deficiences of the last har vest and of the destruction of the potato crop— a calamity which the Premier estimates as a loss in money value of upwards of twelve millions sterling —has been proportionably disastrous in England. When it is found that wheat in the English markets has risen from 475., in August, to 495., in September ; that on the first week of January it was 645. 4d.; in the second, 665. 10d. ; and in the third, actually 70s. 3d., it becomes the very extremity of idiotism or of stupidity to deny that any other course than that of immediately suspending the operation of the corn laws is open to the Legislature. It may be true, and it is doubtless true, that there is little probability of any diminu tion in the market prices upon the temporary aboli tion of the 4s. duty, but it must never be forgotten that that 4s. duty does " materially alter the destination of many cargoes ;" that if a similar suspension of the corn-laws was deemed advisable in 1756, in 1766, in 1790, in 1791, and in 1800, it is absolutely re quisite in 1847 ; that supposing, as Lord_Joms ob served, the remission of the 4s. duty in creased the stock of food for consumption in any manner whatever to the extent of a single quarter, or even of a single loaf, " it is worth the while of Parlia ment to legislate for it ;" and (we would even say with Mr. BANKes) that Parliament would literally be most culpable in withholding that supply for a single moment. Beyond this, it is a satisfaction to know that ample supplies of corn are awaiting our Purchase in the granaries of Odessa ; that the American harvest of Indian corn for 1846 "is perhaps the largest ever known ;" that it is asserted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that none of the Indian corn of the crop of 1846 has been yet introduced into this country; that, more , over, the navigation of Odessa opens in March and the navigation of America opens in March. From these latter considerations it becomes possible —and that is something !—that the pockets of the corn-fictors may not swallow the entire difference of those four shillings ! We can afford to be amused at :he Oriental fable of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK abou NADIR SCHAD and his 10,000 golden tomauns, and at Mr. ROEBUCK'S illustration from the " Arabian Nights " about the damsel with the three marble brothers. The rationa 1 and honourable unanimity of Parliament upon the suspension of the corn and navi gation laws is so welcome, that a little prsViage may be readily swallowed. The Parliamentary campaign has opened ix close accordance with the prediction we ventured upon a few days back. This is manifest, ai much by what has passed without, as within, the walls of St. Ste phen's. In the nouie of Commons , Sir R.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 23, 1847 examination, we have to declare that the marriage in itself presented nothing but what was suitable, both in a national and dynastic point of view. We think that the representa tions of Great Britain cannot be supported either by right or by reasoning. But we by no means take on ourselves to affirm that the negotiations have been constantly conducted with frankness and good faith; we are even forced at pre sent to allow that the principal reproach directed, and re peated so eagerly, against Lord Palmerston—that of having failed in his engagements, religiously observed by his pre decessor—appears in the state of the question to be a flagrant injustice. If, therefore, the insulting proceedings which have been multiplied against the present head of the Fo reign.offlce stand for anything in the rupture of the good accord between the two nations, it appears to us that a severe account ought to be demanded for it from M. Guizot and his colleagues," The France, the organ of the Legitimatist party, says, in referring to Lord ABERDEEN'S dispatch, which M. GIIIZOT had previously suppressed:— It results, above all, from the formal declarations of the Tory ex-Minister, that, by the terms of the convention at Eu, so often appealed to in the course of this discussion, the part of England in the marriage sinestion was simply to con fine herself to a passive attitude, without active proceedings as without opposition, whether in favour of a Cobourg candi date or against him, in case he should be proposed. This attitude, which is precisely what Lord Palmerston has assumed, and which M. Guizot reproaches him with at pre sent, is to all appearance that which Lord Aberdeen, if he had remained in power, would have taken. And yet Lord Aberdeen was perfectly well acquainted with the celebrated convention at Eu ; and yet D/1. Guizot has had the air, many and many a tim e , o f b e i ng d es i rous o f appea li ng to the testi mony of the British ex-Minister." The Epoque and the Presse are charged with the de fence of M. GUIZOT. The only defence the Epoque makes is that, although the dispatches of Lord ABERDEEN and Lord PALMERSTON resemble each other in words their meanings are different, not choosing it should seem to recollect the important passage which occurs in the very beginning of Lord PALMERSTON'S dispatch to Mr. BULWER, viz. , " In regard to the first question (the QUEEN'S marriage) I have not at present any instruc tions to give in addition to those which you have re ceived from my predecessor in office ;" and the Presse assumes that Lord PALMERSTON recommended a Prince of Cobourg, which is an assumption so grossly and pal pably false that it is impossible to attribute it merely to mistake, and upon this groundless assumption it rests the whole of its defence. There was a meeting of Deputies of the Left Centre held on Tuesday night at M. GANNERON'S. It had been summoned by M. TRIERS. Messrs. DUFAUILE and BILLAULT, who have separated themselves from M. Limas had formed a body called the neo tiers-parti. The following is the programme of the two parties:— M. TRIERS will make the question of confidence in the Ministry depend on both the foreign and home policy; and Mg. DUFAURE and BILLAULT on the home policy alone. M. 0. BARROT will side with M. THIERS. An ordonnance appears in the Moniteur prohibiting the export of potatoes and leguminous seeds until the 31st of July. The dePartments of the west continue in grea di border. The debate on the Bill authorising the importation of foreign grain is to come on on Friday, and it is ex pected the free-traders will take advantage of the oppor• tunity to inculcate their principles. PARIS BOURSE—WEDNESDAY. The arrival of the Queen's Speech, which was found to be couched in more moderate terms than was expected by many with regard to the Spanish marriage question, has in a measure restored a little firmness to the Bourse, and both Threes and Fives at the close were quoted higher, the former having been last called at 77f. 70c.. and the latter at 116 f. 75c.

THIRD AND EXPRESS EDITIONS OX " THE SUN."— In giving the report of the Debates is both Houses on Tues day night, the Caledonian Mercury says—" e think it fair to state that we have cop i e d the Parliamentary proceedings chiefly from The Sun, which gives a most ample report up to the hour of post." JEWS' SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.—The commemo ration of the anniversary of the opening of this institution took place on Wednesday evening, at Sussex Hall, Leaden hall -street. Vocal and instrumental music was provided for the amusement of the company, which was very numerous, including a large assemblage of ladies. The soiree was fol lowed by a ball, in-which all participated with great apparent enjoyment. In the course of the evening the president of the institution, in an able address, congratulated the meeting upon the success that had attended the efforts made to estab fish a literary and scientific society for the immediate use of the Jewish public, though not confined exclusively to that body. He stated that the members already entered were between 600 and 700 in number, with every promise of rapid increase, and that 60 of them had become life governors. lie also took occasion to remark that the library had reached about 25,000 volumes, and made other judicious observations upon the useful tendency of .the lectures which had been periodically delivered. Several gentlemen connected officially with the institution followed in the same spirit, communi cating at the same time such facts as to its pecuniary con dition which it was necessary to make known. The institu tion, it seems, is therefore in a state of considerable prosperity, which it is much to be hoped will continue. The most distinguished members of the Hebrew community—including Baron Lionel de Rothschild, Baron de Goldsmid, Sir Moses Montefiore, David Salomons, Esq., &c.—are found in the list of its patrons. LEGAL EXAMINERS FOR 1847.—1 n pursuance of the order of January, 1844, in reference to _persons applying to be admitted solicitors, the Master of the R o ll s h as ordered and appointed that gamuel Amory, Benjamin Austen, Michael Clayton, William Loxham Farrar, Richard Har rison, Bryan Holme, Germain Lavie, R. Wheatley Lumley, Charles Ranken ' Charles Shadwell, William T oo k e , and Edward Archer Wilde, be examiners until tha 31st of De cember in the present year, to examine every person (not having been previously admitted as an attorney of the Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer) who shall apply to be admitted a solicitor, touching his fitness and capacity to act as such in the High Court of Chancery. CONSERVANCY OP • THE THAMES AND MEDWAY.— , Thursday a notice was posted at Guildhall, that application would be made; during the present sessions of Parliament, to enlarge the powers of the Lord Mayor, as Conservator of the Thames and Medway, so as to enable him to build and repair bridges, construct steam-boat piers, and levy tolls, &c., and to purchase by compulsion houses, land, &c., for the formation of approaches thereto. TRH LACE TRADE—No change can be noted here. With the exception of a few parcels of fancies to assort stocks, operations have been confined to the supply of' positive orders; which are yet small, considering we are en tered on the usual period for getting spring supplies. All parties are waiting the course of public events and a change in the weather. The continued frost stops up communication to the northern European ports, as well as prevents purchases for the home markets. Cotton wool is lower in Liverpool, and the general Manchester market is dull, yet prices of tine yarns. have not yet receded, nor is there any symptom of decline; the supply of Sea Island wool not being equal to the usual consumption, and the quantity at any time in the market never being such as to induce speculation. The sup ply of Sea Island is usually from 25,000 to 30,000 bales; this year it is only 18,000 to 20,000 bales. The makers of goods requiring double warps are much interested in the progress of the legal proceedings in the case of " Fisher v, Oliver_ and Atkin." ENJOYING A SNOOZE.—A young pig, which a friend of ours stated to be a lineal descendant of the learned pig Toby," created no small confusion one day this week, at a tease situated at the west end of Preston. The following are the facts of the case :—The master of the house, after L iving mister grunter his breakfast, and enjoying his E out on open. n re a pa s tred to his . work ; shortly after to her Afni clothes sm ooth to sleep. which, his wife went all gossipping excursion, leaving the back door After having a little friendly chit chat, she returned dwelling, and on going to the cradle she found all the and straight, as if some one had placed an in fant Wondering how the family had increased by one so soon, she became rather excited, and turned down the cradle quilt to see if the face divine bore any resemblance to that of her liege lord. The reader may, however, guess her astonishment and surprise when. instead of seeing that of a " lovely infant," the snout of a pig presented itself to her view. No doubt, in her youth, she had hea rd of the ".pig faced lady," which was formerly e xLibited in Chadwick's Orchard, at the " low charge of one penny. " Bearing that in mind, she thought that the new comer was a second mon strosity, and rushed out of the house in hysterics. she r • Afte er some time, in company with so me other neighbours, turned to examine more narrowly, when, lo and behold? the inmate of the cradle was no other than " Tobyjunior," t h e had climbed over the wall of his stye, t u rned up the cradle clothes with his snout , a nd crept quietly under them, and laid himself down to enjoy a snooze.—Preston Guardian. THE CLAVERING POISON CASES.—The Chelmsford CZ. ronicle announces that Mr. Thomas 's,Tevport, whose name has been so frequently before the public in connexion with poisoning her these cases, has been taken into custody on the charge of having aided and abetted Sarah Chesham in own children. _ COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY. - The unfavourable state of the weather prevented her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, or the Royal Family leaving the Castle this morning. The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Alber visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at her residence, Frogmore House, this afternoon. The Royal dinner party, at the Castle, this evening, will include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Speth, Earl Spencer, and Mr. G. E. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson. The band of the Scots Fusilier Guards will attend during dinner. Her Majesty's private band afterwards attend in the Castle.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, (From The Sun of last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very dull again. Sales about 2,000 bales, including 1,500 American At 7d. to 7 1 ,4 d. per lb. Shares were drooping. At the•sale of Railway Shares yesterday, 'bYliesars. La niOnd and C 0.,. a fair business was done, And prices were rather lower again. 'Buyers were anxious to purchase, but at a considerable reduction. The following are a few of the painci pal sales:— East Indian ... Great Western of Bengal 0 7 0 Great Northern • . ' 2 6 6 Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire, New 0 10 0 Madrid and Valencia Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 16 6 Direct Northern (scrip) 2 8 0 Eastern Countir York ET York _.xtension ..... 4 15 0 Shropshire Union and Canal (scrip) 1 5 0 Paris and Lyons 4 1 0 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 3 9 0 Buckinghamshire Northern Counties Union 1 6 6 Of course attention has been almost entirely absorbed by the present condition of monetary affairs in the city, and we must :ay that, during a long course of experi ence, we have seldom seen such a gloomy aspect, except in times of actual panic. The question natu rally may be asked, how far the existing apprehension is justified by circumstances? We believe that in the general excitement few stop to reason, or it they consider matters at all, they look upon them in an unfavourable light. The policy of the Bank of EnglanJ, unfortunately, is seldom one that gives support or confidence at the periods when it would be most opportune. Here, for instance, have we and our contemporaries been writing during the last two or three months almost in cessantly upon the cotton speculation, and the necessity of checking it, and yet not an indication did the Bank directors give, either directly or through their supposed organ, the Ames, (too busy in decrying railways), of disapprobation at the operations of the cotton jobbers. An advance of 1/ per cent. in the rate of interest six weeks or two months since, when the food question was known to be urgent, would have saved England an immense amount now irretrievably lost by the payment to the American grower and merchant of a sum much beyond what was necessary for the supplies of cotton received. The staple, however, has been sold to an immense extent—the engagements are made, and the money must be paid. Now, however, the Bank directors are alarming everybody by the RlA 3 Pitt. 4bliese pursued. One week ttsky . -raise their dis coukts.%,per cent., the next Thursday another % is added; siattieeing theft precipitancy, no one can tell'wh a t ano th er week may produce. Surely the Bank directors, with their extensive means of information, as practical merchants, must have been aware of the large orders given for foreign corn, surely they must have known the extent of railway engagements, surely they must have been seusible of the pecuniary requirements of Ireland, and who knows but what they were not even consulted as to the necessity of a new Government loan. Our own impression is strong that they were so consulted, and that a new loan is extremely probable, unless it is in tended to try the effect of an issue of Exchequer-bills at an advanced rate of interest, which even then will not keep in circulation any large amount. We shall be told, possibly, that the Bank of England is now a private hank, acting for its own safety or advantage, and not bound to study the public; but we repudiate the no tion. The Bank still has great favours accorded to it by the nation, and as such must not be held exonorated from alle giance. If, as some suppose, the Bank wishes rather to alarm the public by its headlong policy, and not so much to excite a pressure, we need only answer that alarm always does create a pressure, and that if the Bank had been for months past discounting at one per cent., and then weekly advanced the rate, although the advance in itself were not onerous, the same results would follow, viz., fear and even panic. However, there stands the fact, that the minimum charge of the Bank on first-rate ninety-five-days bills was yesterday raised to four per cent., and that no one can an swer tnr its not being whipped up to five per cent. within a fortnight. We hope it may be otherwise, but certainly the proceedings of t! e Bank directors de not re-assure us. After the remarks above made, it must be expected that we have but a gloomy account of the stock markets. The " bears" eagerly looking out for a new loan have done their utmost to excite bond ifele sales, for without these their time bargains would be of no avail. To some extent they have succeeded, not so much from the actual extent of the business done, as from the co-operation afforded by the jobbers in the. house, who decline to deal unless at lower rates. Thus we have had a sale or two for money at a decline, firstly, to 91%, and subsequently to 90 3 4, while tor Account the range has been from 91 1 / to 91. As to prognostications, they a re all in favour of still l ower va l ues , and if parties will give way to alarm, we can scarcely expect any other result. Ex chequer-bills have realised Bs., and since 3s. and 7s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been reduced from 93 1 4 to 92%. Bank Stock is 204 1 A; to 205. The Foreign Funds are all weak again. Spanish Three per Cents. have declined to 34% and %, Mexican to 21% and %, Brazilian New to 84%, and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. to 57. Russian Bonds have been at 110% to 111, and Danish at 87. Shares are considerably lower in many instances, and cheaper in all. 13111TISII FUNDS. ONE CLOSI is G O'CLOCK. Prift'ES.

CAYENNE AND LonzLLA.—An inquest was he ld on Monday afternoon, before Mr. Taylor, borough coroner, Bolton, on view of the body of George Greenhalgh, aged 2 5 ' The deceased, having been unwell, had gone to a person named Flitcroft, a se lf- sty l e d " doctor, " and vendor of iu Coffin's compounds. He received two powders, one con' taining a large mixture of lobelia infiata (Indian tobacco/ and the other principally composed of cayenne pepper. UU these he took a portion, but, continuing to get worse, Flit croft was called in, gave directions about using hot water, and the patient continued to take the powders, which mode him worse. On Friday, Mr. F. Ferguson, surgeon, was cane ( ' in, who bled him and administered remedies as might relieve the overcharged lungs and heart; but the deceased bad ook strength to take the medicine twice; he gradually sank and died. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the de ceased died from inflammation of the lungs, but they could not separate without a strong expression of their desire that the press should give full publicity to this and all such eg" with a view to inform the public of the injurious charal and fatal effects of such preparations, w h en i mproper ly and ignorantly administered.

The secon d mate, James Oliver, arrived here on Thursday, having come to Cork in the Prince Llewlellyn, of Liverpool. He states that the vessel was driven ashore from her moorings by one of the most dreadful hurricanes that had happened in th at _ quarter for many years. After the ve sse l was stran ded, o r • crew remained on board, the most of th em near l y na ked, for twenty-four hours, till, the storm a b a ti ng , th ey go t o n land by means of a rope. Daring the hurricane the clothes of the crew were washed ashore, and on the landing of the tecond mate, the only person he perceived was an Indian dressed in his bonnet and jacket, who betook himself imixte".. diately to the woods. The crew, ten in number, were at' posed to a deal of privation after the disaster—so inuchlO: that only three remained alive, two of whom were sent to. Belize in a sickly condition. The master, Forsyth, a Dative, of Dundee, died shortly after he landed, and the mate, who, had embarked. for Cork on b o a r d th e P r i nce Ll ew l e llyn, die d two days before her arrival at that port.,c-DuirckerAdverrithilr, 21►% 2136 80 RAILWAY.
