NEW STRANGERS.SYSTEM-TO Third year In practice of the following New and simple System of Business, originated and established by GEORGE SMITH, at his Warehouse, 32, Ludgate-hill. The Public are invited to examine his Shawls, Silks, Satins, Vel vets, Mantles, Dresses, Table Linen, and Swiss Curtains—his Patent Shawls, which fold into twenty-four different effects—his Sea Island Long-cloth and Calico, and his Sea Island Hosiery, but they are not expected as a consequence to purchase, and on no pretence whatever importuned to do so. Gods not approved exchanged as a right, not as a favour, and their prices are marked in plain figures. Immediate reparation, should warranted fabrics fail in wear. No credit given, conse quently no loss sustained to be made geod from the purses of those who pay ready-money. He has found that a very small profit upon this system is equal to a very large profit on the old system. The many years experience in the selection of goods when connected with the late house of Everington, established those valuable connexions both at home and abroad who now supply George Smith, and enab:e him to exhibit throughout the whole of his moderately-priced articles, that perfection of taste in design and colouring which the pencil of the artist hitherto imparted to the costly manufactures only.

D EPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR CAMBRIDGE. - - THer MAJESTY and Prince ALBERT, and the Ladies sine Gentlemen of the royal suite, left Buckingham Pa/ ace at half•past ten o'clock this morning, in three ope n barouches and fuur, with an escort of Lancers, for the Tottenham station of the Northern and Ea stern Counties Railway, to proceed to Cambridge b 7 a special train. His Royal Highness Prince WALDEMAR of Prussia Mivart's Hotel this morning, attended by Barons ItANER, ORIOLA, and GROEBEN, for the Tottenham s Cation, and accompanied her MAJESTY and the I Irince Consort to Cambridge. Lord JouN RUSSELL left town this morning for THE SUN, LOWD ON, MONDAY Cambridge, where his Lordship will remain during the installation of his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT. A Court pageantry was wont to fascinate the rabble by its magnificence. The lieges stood a-gape with admiration at the twmpeters in cloth-of-gold, the beef-eaters in rose-garlands, and the yeomen clad in steel and leather by the ingenuity of the armourer. Little of the homage formerly paid to the gauds of royalty survives. The prestige of heraldic emblazonry is almost forgotten. Even Mr. DYMOCH himself, the hereditary Champion of England, would excite little more reverence in the multitude than the brass knight in the Lord Mayor's procession, though he were mounted on the back of Bucephalus and cased in the mail of SALADIN. Homelier sentiments have become diffused among the populace than those which animated the lieges of a feudatorial sovereignty. So earnest indeed has been the re action, that a species of opprobrium has been attached to that external grandeur which was rendered un palatable from its association with the cruelties and oppressions of an exploded system. The crimes of our former rulers have imparted almost as much odium to the gorgeous ceremonials by which those rulers were d i er accompanied as did the dilemmas of the melancholy gentleman of La Mancha to the forms and proprieties of knight-errantry. It would be well, however, for the multitude to reflect upon all such occasions as elicit anything like a revival of the pomps of regality, not so much upon the utility or decorum of those pomps, as upon the circumstances of which they are merely the celebration, and of the purposes which they are intended to commemorate. Whatever may be said in depreciation of the ap proaching ceremonies at Cambridge, it is certain that the event of which they will only be the accompani ment is one of no trivial importance, not merely to the several divisions of that University, but to the interests of the general community, and to the pro gress of our insular civilisation. Whether much advantage can possibly result to any one man in the empire by the pindaric throes and inane strophes of MT. WILLIAM WORDSWORTH—written, be it ob served, as a sort of compensation for the legendary butt of malmsey, and as a vindication of his titular dignity as Poet Laureate—whether, we repeat, much advantage can possibly result from the feeble song of jubilation chanted from Rydal Mount, it would require probably the discernment of a DA CIER to determine. But the superficial ob server will recognise in the installation of his Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT, as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, a token of that bro therhood in knowledge which promises in effect to regenerate the whole family of man. A spectacle more suggestive of the meaning and tendencies of this generation could hardly be conceived than the one which will have adorned the sedgy banks of the Cam during the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of the present week. We cannot regard the nomi nation of the Prince Consort—a Prince respected for his versatile accomplishments and loved for his distin guished amenity—as a merely hollow compliment to his Royal Highness as the husband of VICTORIA. By that selection more—immeasurably more—has been effected than the presentation of a formal token of loyalty; a new bond has bound together the sympa thies of the QUEEN and the People. As searchers among the divine mysteries of knowledge, royalty and democracy henceforth go hand in hand; as fel low-scholars in philosophy they muse together under the porch; as brother labourers in the mines of eru dition they are intimately associated. A latent good is indicated in the pageantry of this interesting in stallation, not so much by the ardour with which it is prepared—significant as that is—as by its manifest influence upon the minds of the apparently un interested. While the public attention is so much engrossed by an accumulation of unusual embarrassments, and the advent of a dissolu tion of Parliament, the installation of the Chancellor attracts an extraordinary amount of observation throughout the United Kingdom. This, moreover, because the ceremony is not only one of local, but one also of national interest. The Prince ALBERT is now connected officially with one of the most venerable of our Universities. At a period when the cause of Education is engaging so much of the curiosity of the multitude, of the scrutiny of Parliament, and of the providence of the Government, his Royal Highness is brought into im mediate communication with one of the most plente ous and one of the least exhaustible of the fountains of knowledge. Everything, either directly or inferen tially, tends to fix upon the popular mind the supreme importance of a more facile diffusion of the blessings of secular education. Everything combines to hold this up to the popular observation, at the ensuing elections, as a paramount theme for discussion in the selection of the candidates. Unless precautions there fore be taken for the due estimation of this matter by the possessors of the franchise, they will have to bewail, perhaps, during seven years the foolishness which had induced them to be lukewarm in the promotion of a cause in which the ignorance, and consequently the happiness and sobriety, of the indigent millions are so inextri cably concerned. If another spur be administered to the memory of the electors by the pomps of this inauguration at Cambridge, the election of his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT will redound doubly to the honour of the University authorities, and will fur nish the people with an additional reason for regard ing the husband of their QUEEN with affection. The explanation which was given by the Attorney- General in the House of Commons on Friday night with respect to the proceedings which took place at Hertford on the 17th ultimo, in relation to the pro perty of the late JOHN TAWELL, will be received with peculiar gratification throughout the country. The public feeling had been painfully excited in consequence of the apparent barbarity and cruelty of the act--the deepest sympathy was accorded to the unfortunate widow. It was con ceived that the wound which had in some respects closed, by the healing influences of time, had been most heartlessly torn open ; that she bad been prac tically punished for a crime of which she was wholly innocent, by being deprived of the property to which she would otherwise have been entitled, and her own production as a witness, in order that the link in the chain of evidence, to deprive her of her property, rdight be supplied by her own testimony, increased the general indignation. The statement of the At torney-General has fully and completely exonerated the Government from every imputation of harshness or oppression in the case in question. It has proved that they acted with the humanity and equity which England would expect from the Ministers of her choice, but it has placed in the strongest light the absurdity and injustice of the code which is still per mitted to remain a stain and a disgrace to our statutes. The most eloquent denunciation that could be hurled against the system by its most strenuous opponent could not exhibit its impropriety in a stronger light than the uniform practice of the Crown in relinquishing the rights to which it be comes entitled, in waiving the forfeitures that may from time to time accrue. If its claims were of such a nature that their enforcement could be justified, then there would be a culpable abandonment by the advisers of the Crown of the rights and privileges they were bound to maintain and preserve; but such is not the case, they are well aware that a rigid adhe rence to such obsolete and iniquitous enactments wsopt7tehlddeyooCablnteCoaraxslitOoilin suc h o the an agitation throughout the length and breadth of the land as would lead to a fal yielding to tb P e r° fO i rl i riable remission of the eo la n a w l: , and H ntchee there total sa abrogation gran e. penalties opinion, the inva• in favour of the immediate relatives and next of not killed," it retains all its vitality, when y its results malefactor. But " the snake ' anisd k m in a of the scotched, lt as t mayany time start into life and activity, be more than usually oppressive. The Attorney-General tells us, " that on convic tion of any person for felony, the property petition from convict belongs to the Crown ; th a t t h e practice, however, had uniformly been to grant, on from the relatives of the convict, an inquiry, and to give the property to those relatives; that in this par ticular case a memorial was presented by Mrs. TAWELL to the Treasury, praying the Crown to make inquiry, and to order that the property of her late husband should be bestowed upon her; that the inquest had taken place, in accordance with that me morial, and that the property, instead of being re tained by the Crown, would be sold for her benefit." We accord to this statement of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman the fullest credence ; but why is the law retained, Vele uniform practice is not to en force it? We respect the law officers of the Crown too much to suppose that they can in any manner be influenced bytothe fees and perquisites to which, in right of their office, they are entitled on every such inquisition. Except in the case of wealthy cri minals, few can benefit by the favourable consideration of their request by the Executive. Every expense connected with the investigation, from the fees to the law, officers, for the report on the original memorial in the first instance, to the bill of costs of the Solicitor for the Treasury, and the pay ments to commissioners, jurors, and witnesses, must be defrayed out of the property in the first instance, before any portion of the residue can be distributed to the claimants. Here, then, is a heavy and a perfectly needless outlay, which acts as a total pro hibition to any of the humbler and less wealthy classes. It would not be worth the while of the widow or orphans of a felon, whose property amounted to the value of a few hundreds only, although its possession might save them from want and misery ; the whole would be absorbed in the cost of the in quiry, and nothing would remain to save them from poverty and destitution. There are amply sufficient grounds for urging the repeal of the law under pre sent circumstances, but the possible use which may be made of it vastly increases the necessity. While the cuuntry is blessed with a constitutional Govern ment there would be little danger of any abuse of the power, but there have been corrupt ministers in bygone days, and possibly such may again arise on some future occasion. Political disturbances have occurred, and many who were comparatively blameless were deprived of their properties, and driven forth into exile and poverty, while the minions of the prevailing faction rioted in the possession of the estates wrested from the rightful owners for too rigid an adherence to honour and principle. How many families were reduced from wealth and affluence to distress and penury for an unceasing devotion to the rights of CHARLES 11. during the time of the Commonwealth, who were unable to obtain restitution after the Restoration ! Scenes similar to these which have formerly taken place may possibly be re-enacted, and the only safeguard that can be extended to the people, the only shield that can guard against the possibility of their recurrence, is the total abolition of the law relating to escheats and forfeitures, and the corruption of the blood of a malefactor. Constantinople letters, of the 17th, state that a treaty of peace between Persia and Turkey has been definitively concluded. It was reported at Salencia, tat the 9th, that an Albanian had revolted against the Turkish Government. His force consisted of 800 men. There is every prospect of a plentiful harvest in Turkey. Letters from Alessandria, of the 27th ult., announce that the differences existing between the Austrian Government and the King of SARDINIA had been arranged by mutual concessions—the Austrian Go• verntnent having considerably reduced the duty levied on the wines of Sardinia when entering the Austrian dominions, and the King of SARDINIA having pro mised on his part to discountenance the march of Liberal opinions in Piedmont. As a first step towards this course of policy, the newspapers lately established in Tuscany had been prohibited in Piedmont. The consequence of this change of system on the part of the King of SARDINIA was the resignation of his chief Minister, Senor VILLA MARINA. Madrid papers of the 27th and 28th ult. have arrived. It is said that a decree will shortly be issued sup pressing all custom-houses in the interior of the kingdom. Aband of Carlists had been defeated by the QUEEN'S troops at Guerault, in Catalonia, and two of the Carlist chiefs killed. The province of Burgos, in conse quence of the appearance of the Carlist band of EL ESTUDIENTE, is to be declared in a state of siege. Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA has, it is said, fallen into disgrace with the QUEEN. During her late rides her MAJESTY has not been-accompanied as usual by her uncle or her cousin. MADRID B3Lse, JUNE 29.—The Three per Cents. were done at 29i for cash; the Four per Cents. at 174; the Five per Cents. at 17k; the Debt without Inte rest at si; and the Coupons at 13. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Constitutionnel of Friday contains the follow ing on the intelligence recently received from Al geria : " The Moniteur A lg erien has published an important and untoward piece of intelligence. An engagement appears to 'have taken - place between the Emir Abd-el- Kader and the Emperor of Morocco. It is stated that Abd-el-Kader has obtained a great advantage. The following details—exaggerated, perhaps,—have been sent us through Spain. Whilst Abd-el-Kader, who had taken refuge in Morocco, was endeavouring to obtain peace from France, and had even implored the media tion of the Spanish Government, Abderrhaman received information that the Emir intended turning his forces against him, and endeavour to hurl him from the throne. The Emperor then resolved to rid himself of so formid able a guest. lle took advantage of the circumstance of the collection of the contributions of the Riff by a small body of troops sent there for that purpose, to order the Kaid El Amar, the chief of that expedition, to carry off Abd-el-Kader. This latter chief was then at the head of 500 horsemen and 200 foot soldiers. On June 14 the Moorish troops attempted to execute the order of the Emperor, but they were vigorously forced back by the Emir's troops, after having experienced a loss of 70 horses. The next day El Amar returned to the charge, but the Moroccomen were again worsted, and on the following night their camp was attacked, taken, and pillaged by Abd el-Bader, who cut off the head of the kaid, taken prisoner in the combat. It is notorious how much the intelligence of the Arabs is to be distrusted, and the present news requires confirma tion. If they are exact, Abd-el-Kader is now in posses mon of the Riff, that is, the vast province of Morocco which bounds our frontiers; he can receive freely by sea the succours of various Kinds, which will certainly be sent him, and his reputation has increased in the em pire of Morocco. It is seen what are the fruits cf the treaty of Tangiers, so ill• conceived, and so badly executed. It appears thatibd-el-Kader announces thefirmest intention to remain at peace with France, in order to destroy more freely Abderrhaman, who inspires his subjects with nei ther respect, fear, nor confidence. As to our Govern ment, it appears to intend remaining on the defensive, and to deliver up the Moorish Emperor to the chances of the struggle in which he is engaged. The Moniteur Algerien limits itself to saying that all is foreseen to prevent the effect of the blow being felt in the province of Oran.'" The Presse states that the Ministry has caused to be published in several provincial journals a letter, signed " E. DE GIRARDIN," to the effect that, as the writer did not choose to remain under the stigma which was cast upon him by the veto of the Chamber of Deputies, of being a calumniator, he should appeal to his constituents by resigning his seat. M. Eamz DE GIRARDIN denounces this letter as a forgery, and claims for himself the victory in his contest with the Ministry. " Two means," says the Presse, " were open to the Government if it wished to make known the truth, and the whole truth, and it had its choice of them. It might either have ordered an inquiry, or have brought M. de Girardin before a jury. To the members of the ma jority, who wished that the truth should be exposed, M. de Girardin proposed an inquiry; to the Ministers, who denied what the Deputy for Bourganeuf persisted in affirming, M. de Girardin offered that he should be brought to trial before a jury. The majority did not choose the inquiry; the Ministers would not have a jury. M. de Girardin had nothing further to do, and the pre tended letter to the President is but a pendant to the impudent account sent to the Ministerial journals, and in which M. de Girardin was made to say precisely the contrary to what he really said; but the Ministry dc• ceives itself strangely if it thinks that it will raise itself in public opinion by such base manoeuvres as these." The Presse recapitulates the charges brought by M. DE GIRARDIN against the Government in the following terms : ~ I. A hundred thousand francs, given by M. Adam to M. Granicr do Cassagnac and M. SAar, for the privilege of a theatre. M. Adam has not contradicted this fact. " 2. The memoir or pamphlet of Baron Lambert pur chased for 30,000 f. Baron Lambart has not contradicted this fact. " 3. One million two hundred thousand franc.; de manded from the maitres de post for the presentation and passing of a Bill to indemnity them. The mitres de post to whom the offcr was made, namely, MM. liailly, Duclos, Faucher, and L.Obe, have not contradicted this fact. " 4. A cross o f t h e L eg ion of Honour given to an un certificated bank ru pt. This has not been denied. ~0 ` .5- A subv en ti on o f 5,000 francs a month to the (-ii be newsp a p er . I t b e i ng i m p oss ible to deny this fact, which was judicially th the nporn(c) proved, , a, stransformed n explain it, by s a yi ng t h at a deceased Deputy, M. tilermilliod, wh o for w into ma a d r e ic t h o Conse • rvative, was the generous donor. Butwas it proved that M. Mermill' d 10 never gave but 600 francs, and that that was in payment of five shares in the paper of 120 franca each, , and which F,ave him a right to five copies of the parer for three years. The fact is there f.)re not contradicted. "G. Nothing for noth:i;g, the offensi ie condition made on the nomin4tion of :4. peer. 'Pie Ictt.-: to the written on the 25th of Jauarv, 1846, and signal by a general officer, has not been contradicted. "7. The promise of a peerage made on condition of paying to a newspapor the sum of 80,000 francs. This is the only f,:ct, we admit, which has no evi dence in its favour but the reiterated affirmatiou of M. de Girardin." M. DE GIRARDIN dares the Government to in stitute an inquiry into the truth of the charges, or to bring him to trial for the calumny. In the Chamber of Peers on Saturday the petition of the Spanish bondholders was ordered to be referred to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This is considered as an indication that it is the intention of the Government to interfere in behalf of the foreign creditors of the Spanish Government. In the Chamber of Deputies the Ministry consented that the petition of Prince JEROME BONAPARTE, ex-King of Westphalia, should he referred to the President of the Council and the Council of Ministers. The Mi nister of Public Works, in consenting to this refe rence, intimated that the Government had no objec tion to the return to France of the last surviving brother of the EMPEROR. M. MALAIGNE, the Opposition candidate, has been elected for the 4th arrondissment of Paris. The numbers were— For M. MALAIGNE (Opposition) For M. BERTRAND (Conservative) 301 Majority --198 The amendmetA of M. LEON FAUCHER for increas ing the grant to the railroads, was negatived by the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. The Government has just published the official returns of the commerce of France for 1846. The foreign trade amounted to 2 milliards 436 millions of francs, of which 1 milliard 258 millions were imports, and 1 milliard 178 millions exports, being 9 millions mors than in 1845.

NEWS FROM PORTUGAL. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 5 The Jupiter arrived from the Peninsular this morn ing. She brings news from Lisbon down to the 291 - 1 nit. Saldanha occupied Villa Nova ;it was preceded by a skirmish, in which each side lost an officer and four or five men. No attack had bee❑ made on Oporto ; the force within the town exce“le.l 12,000 men. Provisions in great quantities had been brought in. The insurgent troops in every part, except Oporto, were dispen , ing. The Spanish troops had not advanced upon Oporto. Marquis Loule was sent to the British squadron by the Junta to make an offer of surrender, on condition that Oporto should be first taken possession of by the Spaniards, and it was thought the English admiral would agree to these terms ; and the Spaniards would, it was expected, enter Oporto in a few days. The Jupiter left Oporto on the 30th.—Herald. INSTALLATION OF THE PRINCE CHANCELLO OF THE UNI V _ERSITY.I ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT CAMBRIDGE. (THIS DAY BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

MURDER OF A P O LICEMAN.—BATII, SATURDAY EvENING.—At the Police-court at Chandos House, yes terday, two men, named Maurice Perry and Samuel Crawley, were committed by the county magistrates for the wilful murder of one of the Bathampton under circ umstances o f great brutality. Oa Monday last, early i n t h e even i ng , two navigators employed in the neighbourh oo d on the Wilts snd Somerset Railway, quarrelled at B et h ain pwn. and faiiing to settle it by words, adjourned to an adjoining field to fight it out, the prisoners and two others acting as seconds. An organised ring was formed, and a large mob collected, when, after a few rounds, John Bailey (the deceased), a constable, and another officer, forced their way be tween the combatants and desired them to desist fighting. The prisoners immediately pushed them back, and so held them, the men still fighting. The constables again attempted to interfere, when they were instantly knocked down, the prisoners kicking them unmerclully about the head and body, from the violent force of which Bailey almost immediate!). died. Several witnesses clearly identifiei the prisoners as the parties who com mitted the outrage. The deceased teld the m on entering the ring that he was a police-officer, and stated that it was his duty to suppress any disturbance. The pri soners, who m a d e no d e f e nce., were conveyed to the the ea county gaol, o n pi:al charge. A verdict of " Wil ful Murder" h a d b orn re turned at the Corm,er's irquest,. which was held on Friday.

In Railway Shares a considerable business was doing, but at rather lower prices. The report from the Corn Market is that wheat may be fairly quoted 10s. per quarter lower than on this day week. The letters received from some of the country districts begin to throw more light too upon the ques tion of stocks in the hands of the farmers, who, in a cer tain locality, have large quantities thrashed out in their barns, though very few stacks in their yards. The price of meat keeps very high, and it seems that some of the dealers expect nq alteration until about another month, when the supplies will increase from the north. As a question of national economy, this dearness of meat must prove of considerable importance, because it neces sarily limits not only the consumption of this particular article of food, never too easily available to the humbler classes, but it likewise diminishes their ability to pur chase clothing and other articles, which are largely inemufactared for the home trade. But for the imports ' of foreign cattle under the reduced tariff, meat we.uld nave been scare. ly obtainable this year except by the classes. From the eastern frontier of the Cape of Good Hope, advices have been received to-day, of the 27th April. The activity of Sir Henry Pottinger in the exercise of his new functions as Governor was still very apparent, and Sir Andrew Stockenstrom was about to co-operate by commanding the Dutch farmers who might be willing to serve. The Kafirs were still rather troublesome as regards stealthy incursions and cattle stealing.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) ____ CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. Last week's arrivals of all kinds of grain of home produce were on a very limited scale, but those of flour, though small, were somewhat on the increase. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any grain came to hand; but the imports of foreign corn were immense—they having amounted to not less than 68,000 quarters of Wheat, 9,558 quarters of Barley, 53,188 quarters of Oats, 14,676 quarters of Beans, 9,565 barrels and 4,210 sacks of Flour, being one of the largest arrivals on record. Fresh up this morning the receipts of Wheat of home produce, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample, were on a very moderate scale; yet the show of parcels was larger than those exhibited on this day se'nnight. Owing to the immense importations of foreign corn, most of which are being placed in warehouse, the splendid weather for the growing crops (the accounts respecting which are very favourable), and the thin at tendance of buyers from all quarters, the trade with all kinds of English Wheat was excessively heavy, AT A DECLINE IN THE QUOTATIONS OBTAINED ON MONDAY LAST, OF FROM EIGHT, TO, IN SOME INSTANCES, TEN srmuscs PER QUARTER, and at which a clearance was not effected. At the close of th e mar k et several i parcels n hulk remained over for Wednesday. There was a very large quantity of Foreign Wheat on show ; hence the s'ile was excessively depressed, and THE RATES DECLINED FROM SIX SHILLINGS, TO, IN SOME CASES, TEN SHILLINGS PER QUARTER, and at which t. temillers were b y no means anxious b uyers . Since the returns were made up on Saturday, about seven th ousan d a ddi tional quarters have come i n. Scarcely any English Barley was on sale; but the sup fly of foretgn was larger. All descriptions were very fromdull, and fro s to 2s per quarter beneath last week' s figures. The Supply of Malt was tolerably good, while the sale for all kinds was extremely inactive, and the immense imports declined f rom 1 1 t o 2 s p e r quarter. The imports of Foreign Oats noticed above produced great heaviness in the o.tt trade, and where sales were effected, the prices receded from 2s to 3s per quarter. For Beans we had a very dull sale, at 2s to 3s per quarter less money. Scar ce ly a transac tion took place i n Peas, the rates of which were 2s per quarter cheaper. Indian Corn was a mere drug, and might have been purchased at a reduction of 4s to 5s per quarter. The Flour trade was very dull. Tvwn-made and country qualities fell EVENING, JULY 5, 1847. 5s per sack, the highest pri, per barrel—the extreme rat, !43 being 659, and Foreign 4s being 345. !11 , .

Total ...... 693 2,603 47 176 2 In addition to the above about 380 Beasts, 700 Sheep and Lambs, and 40 Calves, have been landed at Hull and the other northern ports, mostly from Holland. The supply of foreign stock on offer to-day was very extensive, viz., 384 Oxen and Cows, 3,492 Sheep and Lambs, and 29 Calms, nearly the whole of which found buyers, at fully last week's quotations. For the time of year the arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing districts were tolerably good. Although there were several well made-up droves on sale, the general quality of this description of stock was by no means prime ; and the butchers complain not without cause, that the beasts " die" badly. Notwith standing the weather was unfavourable to slaughtering, the Beef trade, owing to the increased attendance of both town and country buyers, was steady, at prices fully equal to, but at nothing quotable beyond, those ob tained on this day se'nnight. The primest Scots were disposed of at from 5s to 5s 2d per 81bs. The arrivals of Beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, consisted of about 900 Scots, home breds, and short-horns; from the western and midland districts, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; and from. Sco tland, 320 horned and polled Scots, Compared with those exhibited on Monday last the numbers of Sheep were small, but of full average quality. On the whole, there was an improvement in the Mutton trade, and in some few instances the primest old Downs sold at 5s 6d per 81bs, being an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs, while the value of most other breeds—a clearance of which was effected prior to the close of the market—had an upward tendency. There was a fair supply of Lambs on show; yet the trade was firm at last week's cur rencies. The highest value of the best Down qualities was 6s per 81bs. Calves, the numbers of which were but moderate, moved off slowly, at about stationary prices. In Pigs next to nothing was doine., at late rates. s. d- to s. d.

The supplies slaughtered in the metropolis have been small. Prime Beef, Mutton, and Veal have moved off steadily; all other kinds of meat slowly ; and the general quotations must be considered a trifle beneath those obtained last week, owing to the caution with which the butchers have made their purchases.

Scarcely any old Potatoes are now on sale in these markets. About 150 tons of new ones have been im ported from Holland, and which have mostly found buyers, at from 8s to 9s per cwt. The supplies from our neighbour counties are on the increase. The quality is excellent, and a good business is doing, at from 9s to 15$ per cwt. WOOL. The arrivals of foreign and colonial Wool into Lon don since Monday last have been about 2,200 packages. The public sales have closed somewhat more firmly than they commenced, but prices have not improved. On the whole the transactions at the auctions, considering the large quantities brought forward, were decidedly good. There is rather more doing in the best qualities of Eng lish Wool, at full prices; but all other kinds are neglected for the present. _ _ _ TALLOW. On the whole this market is steady, at barely late quota. tions. Town Tallow is dull at 50s nett cash. IVIARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) John Moleswolth, a well dressed young fellow, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting Robert Metcalf, one of the waiters at the Blue Posts Hotel, Haymarket, and also with assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. The complainant stated, that about eight o'clock on Saturday evening the prisoner entered his master's house, and ordered to be supplied with a dinner, consisting of salmon, cutlets, and a bottle of sherry. After the pri soner had partaken of his dinner he rang the bell for witness, and requested him to inform him (prisoner) what he had to pay. Witness gave him the bill amounting to Bs. 9d. Directly the prisoner took the bill in his hand he demanded his change, witness said " What change, I have received no money yet." The prisoner said, " Yes you have, I have given you a half sovereign." Witness persisted that he had not received the money, and told the prisoner that he must be labour ing under a mistake. The prisoner then got into a most violent rage, and struck witness several severe blows. He at length became so violent that witness was obliged to call his master to his aid, who endeavoured to pacify the prisoner, and induce him to leave the house quietly. The prisoner, instead of doing so, struck and kicked about him in all directions. Witness then ran for the police, who speedily arrived and took charge of the prisoner. Police -constables A 176 and C 141 proved going to the Blue Posts and taking the prisoner into custody. The former constable was struck by the prisoner in the face, and the latter received several severe kicks on his shins and the lower part of his person, and added that it was with the greatest difficulty that they got him to the station. The prisoner, in reply to th e c h arge , p ers i s t e d t h a t h e had given the wa it er t h e money. H e den i e d assau l t i ng either himor the poli ce . H e cer t a i n l y was ver y much excited in consequence of the waiter refusing to give him the change out of the half-sovereign. He could assure the magistrate that he was highly respectable. Mr. 13monem said that latterly there had been several persons before him who subsisted entirely by robbing publicans. He was surprised that prisoner, who called himself respectable, should adopt such a course. H e should fine him for the first assault 405., or fourteen days, and for the latter he should commit him to the House of Correction for fourteen days, with hard labour. The prisoner then became so violent that it took four constables to remove him. ____ Mary Ann Maids was brought before Mr. Bingham for final examination, charged with having caused the death of her husband, Edward James Maids, by stabbing him with a knife. There being no further evidence in addition to that which appeared in this journal of the Ist inst., the depo sitions were taken, and the prisoner fully committed to take her trial at the sessions now holden at the Old Bailey. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) John Gotfrey Brown, a German, and two women, named Mary Ann Sumner and Mary Smith, were charged with having burglariously abstracted three watches, and a quantity of cluhh coats, waistcoats, silk handkerchiefs, silk lining, &c., together with some gold, silver, and other coins, from the premises, No. 32, Wellclose-square, and No. 30, Parsons-street, both near the docks. There were three separate charges against the pri soners, and the evidence, which was rather intricate, was gone into at great length. The first case preferred was by Mr. Verdet, proprietor of the house in Weliclose square (a lodging -house for German emigrants), who stated that the Iprisoner Gotfrey came to lodge at his house about a fortnight since, and after that period a large quantity of articles belonging to various lodgers in the house were missed at different times, and it had since been ascertained that the prisoner Gotfrey had abstracted them by means of some on einhgts person. eniously Thecon trived skelet on k e y s w hich were found articles were of the most va w ri e ed en atnhde witness -bog a d n e scription, and the space betd h t f ; and e a a s s e several other -s. &c., the stole the dock was completely covered bundl w e with e g il a k rm be e n n d s ke o re e b v iee ery kind, together with a large witnesses the va i r r ieu V s er a d r e ti t cl .de n nti a fi r e tle d ics. pro perty, and a valuable cloak, with 16 yards of silk li n i n g, the property of a German named Christian Kroll, was clearly traced to Gotfrey by a tailor named Wilhelm Jens, to whom he had given it for the purpose of having it altered. Police-constable H 99, stated that, from information he received, he went to a house in Bridman's-alley, kept by the female prisoner Sinith, where he found the coats produced. *Both Smith and Sumner appeared greatly alarmed when he informed hem that he must search the house, and exclaimed, "It is all out now." He at first took them into custody merely on suspicion of having been concerned in receiving the stolen pro perty, but he had since discovered that all three had been concerned in burglariously entering the house of Mr. Adolphus Litman, an outfitter, and stealing a quan tity of foreign coins. He also produced a letter, signed by Mary Sumner, address e d t o G o tf rey , i n which she said, that if he felt as she did, he must be miserable, for that she could get no rest day or night for reflecting on what had been done and concluded with t h e s i ngular expression, " not one kiss more. The QYidence, with regard to the abstraction of pro. I perty of the same description from the house in Pa sons-street (also a German lodgin!:,-hour,e), was a With re,arci tot . i..urgluiy s Mr Adelphus Litman, owing to the accid,ntai absence of that gentleman, who had been ordered to be in attend ance at tee o'clock, it could not then be proceeded with, and the three prisoners were removed, in order to per fect the evidence, with a view to the dcpositions being taken, and it was understood other and similar charges would be preferred against them. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.; HOUSE OF CWITMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair to day shortly alter Twelve o'clock. WAKEFIELD GAS BILL—SITTING OF THE HOUSE AT TWELVE O'CLOCK. Admiral GORDON moved, pursuant to notice, that the Committee on the Wakefield Gas Bill have leave to proceed with three Members and report forthwith. Lord G. BENT[NCK opposed the motion. He de' precated the House sitting at twelve o'clock, and would du all in his power to prevent Committees sitting during the sitting of the House at twelve o'clock. They had specimen on Friday of the results of the House sitting in the morning, as during the greater part of that tiros there were only fifteen mbers present, and only one Membhr of the Government. He thought the silting of the House at twelve o'clock highly objectionable, as the Government by that means got over the trouble of keeping a House. If he was unable to prevent the morning sittings, he was determined to do his best to enforce the attendance of Members, by preventing Committees meeting during the sitting of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL deprecated the course pursued by the Noble Lord. It had been the custom of the House of late years, at the end of the session, to sit at twelve o'clock, and he thought the doing so was attended with no inconvenience. H e cons id ere d t h e con d uc t a , the Noble Lord on Friday was without precedent• and totally unworthy of the position which 1 16 claimed to fill as the leader of a great party The Government would take care in future to be more vigilant, in order to insuro them gainst surprise. il„e thought, if the Government did this, it would be as wet' to meet at twelve o'clock as at four. Mr. R. SPOONER thought it extremely inconvenient for the House to sit at twelve o'clock. After some observations from Mr. R. YORKE, Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, • Lord G. BENTINCK withdrawing his opposition t° the motion, on its being stated the Committee did not s i l till half. past three o'clock. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. BOUVE itIE then moved that all the Committee have leave to sit, notwithstanding the sitting of the House. Lord G. BENTINCIC opposed the motion. Afer some discussion, in which Mr. Buck, MP Mackinnon, Mr. H. Berkeley, Mr. Newdegate, and M %V. Mills took part, the House divided, when there or peared— For the motion Against it l4 Majority against the motion —53 Leave was then given to all the Committees to notwithstanding the sitting of the House. THE WELLINGTON STATUE. Lord G. BENTINCK gave notice of his intention, ° I/ the motion for the House resolving itself into a Cep' mittee of Supply, to move as an amendment, " That II humble address be pre anted to the Q u e en , p ra yi n g be Majesty not to revoke, without the consent of the se b o i scribers to the Wellington memorial, or the majority them, the grant which her Mjesty was graciou 9 V pleased to make in 1838, under the advice of her respefi Bible advisers, and in person to notify to the Duke I , Rutland, that the triumphal arch in the Green rf! l :,, should be the site for the erection of an eq uesul; statue in commemoration of the military aciaieverne° of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. The House then resolved itself into Committee on Health of Towns Bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed to postpone t h o : 17th clause, which motion, after some discussion, 11 agreed to, and the clause postponed. Clause 19 having been agreed to, Lord J. RUSSELL moved that Mr. Greene leave chair and report progress, and that the further considl i ; tion of the Bill be taken to morrow, attwelve o'clock. to (Lord John Russell) would at five o'clock state what intended to do with the other Bills daring the sessioll• The House then adjourned till five o'clock.
