The commence ment of the payment of the quarterly dividends has scarcely influenced the rate of interest a fraction. It is worth a notice that durizig the present. strain upon the Money Market not one w ord is said, in. circles. where so much fear a year or so back prevailed, of the ruin to be expected from investment's in railway pro perty, new or old, at the present moment. Steadily, in - fact, ar e t h e railway receipts advancing, And well can the directors afford to pay a more handsome per tentage to their proprietors than that yielded by the public zecuri ties cf tho country. It is not, therefore, a matter to be wondered at, that parties, having control over money - invested in the Funds should realise part of it, and take Railway Debentures instead ; thus in some instances • very nearly doubling their a nnua l i ncomes. The pro phetic warnings of a terrible and inevitable crash from the railway mania have hitherto passed off like a dream, and for the unfortunate state of Ireland, as respects the - supply of food, and the necessary consequences resulting from purchases to meet the wants of the people, Eng. land's commercial, shipping, and other leading interests, would have been bright indeed.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. ..."Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor- tunity of publicly thanking Mr. IP. Clrimstone„ of - the tlerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about tour months, and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and snore luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an its. bottle if they wcra as curtain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair In abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel ,a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above factz...-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a low drops oa the crown 01 the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from co m i ng away with the comb, make it strong, and arevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A low drops on your hairbrush before bruzliing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the :lost aromatic herbs and flowers with Confidence; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, po ur t en or twelve drops it the crown of the e a ses I ; if v , ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief i,t certain in ten minutes. It produces air on chit Irca's heads in a few appplicstions. It used on infants' oa the nrain as I,t !, re vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of Lair. --:Seo pamphlet of testimonials.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY. - THE HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. On Saturday, at the meeting of the Mary lebune Vestry, the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair, The Rt:v. CHAIRMAN said he had to bring before the vestry a subject which was of vast importance to the country—he meant the Bill which had been introduced into Parliament by Government for the Improvement of the Health of Towns in England. It would be remem tiered that the vostry had appointed a committee to con sider the provisb,ns of the Bill, and they bad now pre pared their report, which the vestry-clerk would read. Mr. FLOOD then read the following report to the vestry : " St. Marylebone, April 9tb, 1147. " At the committee appointed to take into considera tion the Bill now in Parliament, intituled, A Bill for Improving the Health of Towns in England,' " Present—The Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair, Mr. M•Evily, Mr. John Williams, Mr. Henry Charles Wil son, Sir James John Hamilton, Bart., Mr. Michie, Mr. Joseph, Mr. Powell, Mr. Calder, Mr. Armson, Mr. Ball, Your committee beg to report to the vestry that they have taken into their serious consideration the provisions of the Bill referred to them, and are unanimously of opinion that the Bill is calculated to destroy the right enjoyed by the people of England from the earliest period of conducting their local affairi; that it greatly extends the baneful principle of centralization, is subver sive of the principles of representation, as secured by Hobhouse's Vestries Act, and is calculated to anni hilate the powers heretofore exercised by the vestry of Marylebone. " Your committee, therefore, unanimously recommend to the vestry that the most strenuous and unqualified opposition be offerei to this obnoxious measure, and that the other metropolitan parishes be immediately com municated with, with a view of strengthening and orga nizing an opposition which may be effectual in defeating the proposed invasion, at least so far as the metropolis is concerned. (Signed) "J. lInms;SPRY, Chairman. Joust M'EviLY, A. MICHIE. JOHN WILLIAMS, FRANCIS CALDER, EDWARD JOSEPH, GEORGE DANIELL, JACOB BELL, JAS. J. HAMILTON, THOMAS POTTER, CHARLES HARBUT." THOMAS POWELL, Mr. G. DANIELL moved the adoption of the report. He was happy to inform the vestry that the opposition to this Bill was unanimous, and most determined. — (Hear, hear.) Should it pass into a law, it would rob the country of its right of representation, deprive them of control over all their local funds, and even their charitable institutions. According to the provisions of the Bill a central board was to be appointed, who would possess all control over the commissioners and the funds, so that while every responsibility rested upon the shoul ders of the commissioners, who should be men possessing 5,0001., they would be quite powerless as far as the disposal of the parish funds were concerned, for the Bill completely annihilaiel Ilobhouse's Acts, and the prin ciple of local government.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. H. C. WILSON, in seconding the motion, said it was impossible for centralizAion and representation to co-exist. Those two principles were so antagouistical that they could not work together. Tho same men who concocted the disgraceful and degrading New Poor-law Bill, which had given such universal and unqualified dis gust to the country, and which proved a decided failure in every respect, also prepared this measure, so impro perly called " The Health of Towns Bill."—(Hear, hear.) 'ley were all of the Chadwick Ectieol, of whom William Cobbatt said it was an unfortunate occurrence that he was ever allowed to interfere with the laws and liberties of the country.—(Hear, hear.) The object of this Health of Towns Bill was manifest. It was to take all the remaining power from the people, and centralize it in 0 1 • hana of a heard apro;nt, d by and who were the creatures of the Government. Sir PETER LIT)I4E denounced the Bill to a base at tempt on the part of the Government to rob the people of the last remnant of their liberty. He assured the vestry that the city of London were already on the alert in this matter, Mid would assert their right and go to the Queen for lie purpose of inducing her Majesty not to allow so obnpxious a measure to become the law of the land.—(hear, hear.) What Mr. Wilson had said about this measure being one of that class which might justly ba termed of the Chadwick school of legislation was quite correct. Why, it was well known that Mr. Chadwick went to Belgium and Germany to see the workings of tyranny there, that they might introduce a similar system into England.— (Shame.) Thisiwsis no Health of Towns Bill at all, but a mere subterfuge to create influence and place and pa tronage for th e G overnment. Only yesterday he (Sir P. ' Laurie) met a f r i end of his a Commissioner of the Westminster Sewers, an d on asking him if they did not mean to opp ose t hi s measure, he replied, " We are ap pointed by t h e C rown, and how can we, as officers of the Crown, oppos e our own masters? " —(Laughter.) H e (Si r P. Lauri e ) cou ld only say that the Commissioners of Sewers of the City and the Tower Hamlets meant to oppose it, and he h o p e d every comm i ss i oner an d parish in the kingdom would do so.—(Hear, hear.) Sir JAMES HAMILTO' said, without any reference to what party it might be who had introduced the measure, whether it be Whi g or Tory, he v i ewe d i t as a most tyrannical invasion on popular rights, and as such he felt bound to give it his determined opposition, and he most cordially, therefore, joined in the report of the committee. Mr. JOSEPH denounced the Bill as a tissue of the grossest ab sur di t i es that were ever suggeste d for the im provement o f t h e pu b l i c health. Amongst its provisions were the followingi=ln the first place there was to be an office of health —(Laughter)—streets to be managed; washed — (Laughter)-;--no interment., also crossings and scavenging; order houses to be white to take place less than two feet sixAs i t)Rit.tite ;males:lL .. ire prevent noxious businesses, ..aneeetiipel inttiatifaetories to consume their own smoke—(Laughter)—to approve. of places for pub lic meetings; management of cellars for letting or not; regulation of lodging-houses, which are to be registered cleansed, and ventilated; lighting streets, and supplying water by public cisterns; to provide slaughtering-house s and license them ; to affix penalties for having chimneys on fire ; commissioners May provide engines, firemen, and plugs ; and affik rewards ; to provide places of public recreation, public bathing places, and public drying grounds ; payment of rates ; and to provide public clocks.—(R.meaed laughter.) In fact the Bill was to provide for everything but that which its title really in dicated.—(Hear, hear.) It was alt oget h er a complete piece of Irish legislation ; for, while it ordered the votes to be taken by ballot, it directed that each person should subscribe his name to the voting paper, and that the papers should be left a month for inspection, so that it might be ascertained how . the votes were g i ven. Mr. GEORGE DANIELL said there was not one word in the Bill about light and air—two necessary things to ensure health. The CHAIRMAN considered that it was impossible to conceive a more obnoxious measure, which took away even the right of appeal. If the surveyor ordered a change in a gen tl eman ' s mansion, internally or exter n:2lly, and persi s ted in its necessity, there was no appeal, arid the building would have to be altered according to his order.—(Shame.) The report was unanimously adopted and a committee appointed to watch and oppose the Bill, and to call on all the other metropolitan parishes to co-operate in that object. ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDENS. The following gentlemen were appointed churchwardens and sidesrnen for the ensuing year :—Crown churchwarden and sides man, the R;ght Hon.

W e now feel great pleasure in mentioning, of the two b ) inlets, I e s t i s r , whieh that u re withrophd to be used as occasional docks on the eastern side of the basin and W. Denison, the present governor of Van Diemen's Land, these magnificent works were designed by Lieutenant (now Captain) Beatson, and were carried on under his superintendence fur upwards of two years, during which period the coffer dam, of about 1,300 feet in length, was successfully completed, and the foundations of one of the entrances, and a great part of the south and west walls, with a considerable part of the masOnry, were executed. Since the summer of 1845, the works have proceeded under the direction of Sir W. Denison and Captain James successively. To Captain Beatson is al-o due the merit of having designed and superinte.nded nearly all the other important works and buildings which have been erected in this dockyard during the last eight years, the monster iron tank and slip roof excepted; works as creditable to his professional ability and indefatigable zeal, as they are worthy of England's first - naval arsenal. The Inconstant, 36, Captain Wise, arrived at Devon port from the Mediterranean on Friday; she will be paid off. During the whole period of this ship's com mission, we may confidently assert she has met with no ship of her size competent to be considered her rival. She was built at this dockyard, in 1836, on the design of the late Rear-Admiral Hayes, and is of 1,422 ton s . A trial betwe en thi s vessel and he Thetis, 36, completed last year at Devonport, of 1,524 tons, built on the design of the chief members of the committee of the late school of naval architecture, would be a great nautical treat. The Avenger steam-frigate, Captain C. Dacres, left early yesterday morning for Killybegs, Ireland. She has on board 2,066 sacks of seed barley; 120 sacks of seed oats; some turnip and onion seed, besides beans and peas. These stores are in charge of Mr. Bluet, pay master and purser, who has received his instructions from the Treasury as to their disposal. She will return to Devonport after discharging her cargo, Where her crew will bo turned over to the Amphion, 36, Captain Williams, and Captain Dacres will fit the Avenger for other service. The Medea steam-sloop, Commander Mason, on her way to the Cape of Good Hope, touched at Madeira on he 2d ult.; and the Rosamond steam-sloop, on her way to the same place, touched at Madeira on the following day; both coaled, and proceeded on their voyage. All well. The court-martial on the seaman gunner belonging to the Recruit, 12, Commander Slade, is ordt red for Tues day morning, nine o'clock, on board the Victory; Rear- Admiral H. Parker, C,8., President. Three schooners, which have been hired to carry meal on Government account to Dublin, have loaded at Clarence-yard during the past week, and sailed to-day for their destination. The Thetis, 36, Captain H. J. Codrington, C. 8., in order to lose no time while waiting for a dock, is having her topsides caulked, and making good such defects as do not require to be done in dock. The voyage of the Myrtle steamer to Plymouth, with supernumerary officers and seamen for the squadron on the North American and West India station, is sus pended for the present. The Bulldog steam-sloop, Com mander G. E. Davies, in which they were to have taken a passage, has had her orders countermanded. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 9.—Her Majesty's frigate Incon stant, 36, Captain Wise, came in this morning from the Mediterranean, touched' at Lisbon on the 25. h, and left on the 26th ult. A few days since she spoke with her Majesty's steam-sloop Hydra, Commander Arthur Mor rell, from the Island of Ascension, bound home, and will probably call here. Commander Morrell went out to the coast of Africa in command of her Majesty's sloop Espoir, 10, which arrived at this port on the Bth instant. Yesterday the barque James Campbell, 300 tons, of Glasgow, out 31 days from Liverpool, put back to this port with her commander, Captain Graham, in irons, and confined to bis state room, the door locked, the key in the pocket of the ship's carpenter, and a seaman with a drawn sword keeping guard outside, in the cabin. The ship, which was bound with a general cargo for Batavia and Singapore, left Liverpool on the 9th of March, and the captain has been confined since the 29th ult., eleven dap. The case will undergo examination before the magistrates. • SPORTING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The past week at Newmarket has proved the pretensions of the son of Euclid to the championship of the "feather-weights," by his gallant victory for the "market Handicap. During the present week he has tr) meet fields that will try his metal, both at Bath and Epsom, and, if he be sterling coin, will win one or both of the forthcoming handicaps, and perhaps finish by winning the Chester Cup; but I am inclined to think he will find his match on the Surrey Downs, if not at Bath, the horses that he is likely to meet being decidedly su perior, as a whole, to his antagonists at Northampton and Newmarket; at the former there were but three racers figuring as starters, to wit, Wolf-d og , H a l o , an d the Euclid colt ; and a t thee latter place but one besides the winner, and that oae the gallant Sting, who had the felicity of carrying Bst. 61b., nearly half a hundred weight more than Mr. Gregory's colt, thereby making the performance nothing so very wonderful after all. Some of the clouds on the Derby horizon have been cleared away, giving to view a few stars and the leading Planet, the latter, although shining brilliantly at present, will be outshone by a star in the constelation, (Sir) Her cules, on the morning of Wednesday, the 19th day of May in this present year of grace. But to return to plain matter of fact. The Craven meeting has disclosed a few secrets well worth knowing. It is now very evi dent that without the Goodwood stable have something better than Planet, their ehance of pocketing the Derby Stakes is very small indeed. lam of opinion that Glen tilt is at the least Mb. better than Planet, and, that this nag will be found to be Kent's horse for the " great go" on the Surrey Downs. He will represent the stable for the Two Thousand Guineas, most probably aided by Halo. The last week's sport on the Heath has entirely destroyed the Derby chances of Whirligig, King of Naples, Don Cmsar. Vorouetz, Outpost, Fanuus, King of Morven, Brother to Stitch, Lancer, Red Hart, Bit Nibble, Vampire, Laaarillo, Redwing, Jack Musters, Ingoldsby, Tunais, Morak, Marpessa colt, Shawn Buidhe, Clarendon, and Villiers—that is, supposing they ever bad any, which is more than doubtful. War Eagle is a goodly animal for a very small party, but will, or ought, to receive his quietus from Epirote in the Newmarket Makes, on Friday week. Whether he does or not mat ters little; he cannot win the Derby. Epirote, rotwith btanding his deteat on Thursday by Planet, will be in a condition to return the drubbing, and with interest, on the Surrey hills. In him there is plenty of room for improvement, and he is adapted to hilly courses. The trash in the market now consists of Mr. Martin, War Eagle, Bingham, Mathematician, Philosopher, Good Coin, Cossack, Lionel, Nottingham, Black Dwarf, Wanota, Conyngham, King of Morven, and Will o'-the wisp, and com pl ete will-o'-the-wisps they will be found fur luring on to destruction unfortunate speculators in search of the philosopher's stone. On Tuesday the Bath and Somerset County Races commence with the Lansdowne Trial Stakes, destined for Kent or Day. The Produce Stakes will be won by one of Day's lot. For the Weston Stakes Kent's stable will furnish the winner. Messrs. Wreferd and Day must between them win the Ten Sovs. Stakes. For the Somersetshire Stakes of 25 sins. each, 15 ft, Sce., a very fair field will assemble to contest for the palm of supe riority, about eighteen, moat probalAy the following:— Queen of Tyne, Lerd Salton°, Miss Elia, Crown Prince, Aax, Clumsy, Miss Barns; Woodpe c k er , Si r Simon, Fox whelp, Morocco, Alliance, Buscot Buck.. Miss Shirley, Cromer, Brave Buck, Halo, and Claremont. The Queen of Tyne, Ajax, Miss Burns, and Buscot Buck, all venerables, can have no pretensions to beat the Euclid wit; these, with Foxwhelp, Clumsy, Morocco, Alliance, Miss Shirley, and the Crown Prince, must be content to form the ruck. I expect to see the winner spring from the three years old, and either be Crozier, Halo, Brave Buck, or Claremont—the last two for choice. On Wednesday a Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each is everything to nothing with a start on Day's speedy filly Anglea. The Bath Handicap to My Mary or Columbus. The Dyrham Park Stakes, a questionable quicksand, into which either Kent or Day must fall—Tallyho, Tantivy. The Moon will throw its light upon the City, Cup. There will be two good days' sport at Catterick Bridge this week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, for which I shall jump to the conclusion at once, and, a la Bunbury, append a list of the supposed winners:— Stakes. Revival Handicap Tim Whiffler, Administrator, or The Magnet. Filly Stakes Little Nell or Ellerdale. The Shorts Camphine or Beverlac. Tallyho Handicap Junior Stakes. second. Champagne Stakes Henries or Beverlac. Claret Stakes New Era or Sir Martin. The Epsom Spring Meeting I shall analyse on Thurs day next, and endeavour to give the names of the star ters, if possible, for the Metropolitan Stakes.—l am, Sir, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. April 12. FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.-Mr. Wakley held an ;nquest on Saturday at the White Bear, King -street, Hammersmith, on the body of Thomas llatton, aged 68 years, who was killed on the evening of Wednesday last. It appeared that, on the evening in question, between live and six o'clock, the deceased, who was a recipient of the Latymer charity, was crossing the road in a state of intoxication, and while in the act of placing his foot on the pavement he suddenly fell backwards into the road. At that moment one of the Hammersmith Conveyance Company's omnibuses was passing on its journey to town, and before the horses could be pulled up the wheels passed transversely over the deceased's face, neck, and chest. He 'was immediately conveyed t o t h e surgery of A r. Griffiths, close by, but it was then found that he had breathed his last. The evidence was most conclusive chat no blame could be attached to the driver of the omnibus, and the jury returned a verdict Accidental " death," SUMMARY of the MONEY MARKET. (From The Observer of Sunday.) At periods of ex c it emen t, suc h as a t p re sent exist s, and such as has prevailed, now for some weeks past, in the Money Market, it is a task involving many difficulties faithfully to record the progress of events and the pro bable bearings of the really important movements of the Court of Directors of the Bank of England; .nor is the duty rendered the, less onerous by the' contrariety of opinions of the past and present steps that have been pursued by the Dit&tbrs of 'the Corpeitation. Among leading men—tWe dlits of them;whose acquaintance may be claimed, whether they he merchaltS, bankers, or the principals of discount houses—theft is arse bias for and against the mode which has been adopted, and which might have beeekpursued, to meet the requirements of the existing state o things. To steer a fair and even course, then, is the duty of those whose avocations lead them to record the passing movements of the Money Market, so that those who are not within the v ortex of Stock Exchange operations may be enabled, from the circum stances that have passed and the probabilities for the future, to form for th emse l ves something like an impar tial and an unprejudiced opinion. To advance this in teresting object is the intention of the writer of the following remarks. The text, in illustration of early points connected with the Money Market, and to elucidate the present condition of affairs, may be most aptly given by quot ing the last notice issued from the Bank Parlour, and 1 1 which is couched in the following terms:— NOTICE. " The minimum rate of interest on bills discounted at the Bank of England, not having more than 95 days to run, is 5 per cent. " Bank of England, April 8, 1847." Before commenting upon this latter measure of the Bank of England, it cannot but be interesting to trace back a few months the Amovements of the Corporation, and the state or credit, taken in conjunction with the ruling value of the Public Securities. It was almost the middle or the latter end of August last that apprehensions were first very seriously enter ' tained of a general failure in the potato crops in Ireland, and when shrewd men began to calculate upon heavy imports of foreign corn, flour, &c., to pay the cost of which it required little foresight to know, if such did occur, that coin and bullion would bo extensively required for exportation, as a set-off, since the most sanguine did not have in view such an increased demand for British manufac tured goods as would tend to square accounts, or render the balance of trade in our favour a reality. At this period the Three per Cent. Consolidated Annt.ities were at 961, the July dividend off (the same stock was at 97i cum div., in the early part of 1846), the circulation of the Bank of England stood at 20,426,1301., and the bul lion in the two departments of the Bank of England— issue and banking —at 16,366,068/. As the harvest prospects very soon afterwards were ascertained with something like certainty (the result proved the accuracy of the data obtained upon the subject), it became apparent to those taking an active part in stock and monetary affairs, that the prices of the public investments could not be maintained. " Breakers " were distinctly visible in the hori zon, but apparently too remote to occasion imme diate apprehension, and, as usual, hopes were entertained that, by some easement or otter of the helm, the barque of confidence in monetary and commercial matters would go on well. However, it turned out that the harvest did not come up to an average, and, what before was a matter of doubt and speculation, was changed into a reality, viz., the almost total failure of the potato crop in Ireland, with a very short yield in other parts of the United Kingdom. But were there any very serious forebodings hazarded of the future deinand for specie for export? Certainly not, generally speaking, for in the month of October, the Bank had still by it bullion of the value of over 15,600,0001., and its circulation was at 20,550,645/. The Three per Cent. Cotisols stood, on the lstof October, at 954. Those who held opinions that all was right pointed significantly to the firm hold the Bank directors had upon their then most _ample stores, of gold and silver bullion and of coin, 'Jere, then, was the first point by which s af e ty for the'lutilre was eilleged, and be lieved in most quarters to be.guaranteed.' Another month rolled on, and the manufacturer, and the merchant, and the trader, found thin gs ge t t i ng worse and worse. E ac h• rested on his oars in hopes that a favourable breeze would spring up—their sheet-an chor was in the opening of the ports for corn. Business became slack, imports, vast indeed, of bread -stuffs were considered a certainty, but still many considered that the " expediency" period had arrived, and, that being the case, that Lord John Russell would have conceded the grand point he was believed to have indirectly pro mised. It was about this period that what nay not be inaply denominated the evanescent holders of our Funded and Unfunded Debt began to look about them, and many sales were ale result. On the Ist December we - find the Three per Cent. Consols at 95i I, the cir culation of the Bank of England at 19,987,8001., and the stores of bullion at about 14,800,0001. Great indeed was the disappointment, and severe were the losses estimated, by reason of doubts of the safety of large operations being entered into en the part of the manufacturers, when it was ascertained that the potato crops were so decided a failure, and that the question of the corn-laws must be left to the decision of Parliament. The autumn trade has been all but destroyed —the pre parations for the spring were checked, for ere Parlia ment met and decided upon what was to be done with the duties upon foreign grain, much mischief had been done. In the provinces money was wanted—sales of Stock and Exchequer -bills became numerous. At tho commencement of 1847 Consols stood at 94, the issues of the Bank were at 20,031,1751., and the stock of bullion was then as high as 14,900,000/. Half the month of January had scarcely gone over, before more strongly and pl a inly were " b rea k ers " seen ahead. The outward current of specie to the United States had a full impetus imparted to it. Still the di rectors of the Bank of England held on their course :teadily. There were reasons, questionless for this course on their part, of which more hereafter. Com mercial operations still languished, and all hopes of im mediate relief from the measures of the Legislature had vanished. The time was gone by, and a train of specu lative operations in foreign grain had been commenced, the result of which has yet to be felt and appreciated. In the month of February the Three per Cent. Consols dropped to 90, the circulation of the Bank of England was given at 19 613,4701. and the stock of bullion at about 12,300,0001. The first demonstration on the part of the directors of the Bank of England to check speculation in corn and cotton was made on the 14th and 21st of January last, when discounts were raised to 3f and 4 per cent. The second effort was on Thursday week, and the last the day before yesterday, as per the notice quoted above. Then how stand the figures respecting Consols, issues, and bullion? The first closed yesterday evening at 864, the issues of the Bank at 1 9,854,9401., and the bullion in store at 10,246,4104 Briefly a summary may be made thus for future re ference:— The Three per Cent. Consols. since August last are lower by about 10 per cent. The issues of the Bank are lower by about 600.0001. The stock of bullion has been decreased by about 6,000,0001. The question that primarily forces itself in most quarters is, could the Bank directors earlier have taken the stringent steps which they have recently adopted ? The response is almost universally in the negative. Next to the best thing that could be achieved, the open ing of the ports at the close of last year, was the passing of the Corn Bill of the present session. Had restrictive measures been taken much earlier than they have been, the direct tendency would have been to limit arrivals of wheat, flour, meal, dec., in this country, and the horrors of starvation would thereby have been very considerably augmented, at least in Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland. It was not, indeed, until full and entire information had been obtained in the Bank parlour of the probable renewal, or attempt at renewal, of certain papers representing corn transactions, and of operations for facilitating the purchase and transmission of gold abroad, that the step of Thursday week and the day before yesterday was taken. But is there any difference in the aspect of the money and commercial markets now, as compared with the panics of 1825-6 and 1836.7 ? As respects the latter, there is a most decided difference. The present may be termed as a corn and specie crisis. Never was the great mercantile interest in so sound and healthy a condition as at this moment. By circumstances which no human power could prevent, Great Britain is compelled to Le the recipient of fleet leads of corn, &c. This was not the case at the periods just quoted. And while in the public depots at all the ports in tho kingdom, goods of every descriptions are warehoused in ample quantity, never was a season less free from Time bargains than the present. Even in cotton and corn things have taken a turn in the right direction very recently. As prices of the latter are t on the fall, more will most lik e l y b e b roug h t to market. is pretty a ccura t e l y k nown t h at t h e stoc k s of fo reig n wheat in s t ore i n our ports are not l arge , b ut thevast amounts in trensitu will co m e to a much worse market than was anticipated when the orders for them were sent out. All then was hey-day for higher prices. The reverse of the picture is now pretty certain.' With a surplus revenue— with a more stringent policy on the part of the directors of the Bank—with a tendency in the markets for grain and and provisions to go back—with an increasing ex. portation of British manufactures to the United States, and a fair expectation that much furth'id. supplies will be required—with all these points considered, it m ay b e sa f e ly hazarded that the furor of the crisis has,passed, terests of the count r y w ill b e again in the the reat and that that steadily, we h ope even s peedil full — tide d of pros perous development. The opinion entertained in the continental markets of the terms upon which the contract for 8,000,0001. has been taken by our Government for the relief of the Irish and Scotch distress is that it was too high; but however much the value of it may have been at pre sent depres se d, the bargain is one , to say the least of it, of a sat i sfactory nature for the Government. No foreign state could obtain advances upon similar easy terms. The second instalment of 12f per cent. was paid up yesterday. It scarcely had influence upon the value of money. The scrip is held in few hands, and most of its owners are rich. As respects the value charged for discounts at large, it is not pos sible to furnish correct quotations. As above noticed, EAST SOMERSET ELECTION. The election for the eastern division of the count of Somerset to fill up the vacancy Occasioned by the y lamented decease of the late member, Colonel William Gore Langton, took place at the Assize Rail, W e lk on Saturday. Shortly after eleven o'clock, the candidate, William Pinney, Esq., appeared upon the hustings, accompa n i e d by his friends Captain Scobell, R.N., and the lion. Major Boyle. Captain SCOEELL proposed William Pinney, Esq., of Somerton Dleigh, as a tit and proper person to repre sent the eastern division of the county in Parliament. The Hon. Major PoYLE seconded the nomination of Mr. Pinney. No other candidate having been proposed, the High Sheriff declared William Pinney, Esq., to be duly elected to serve as a member for the eastern division of the county. Mr. PINNEY then rose, and having thanked titil elec tors for the honour done him, said it might be expected that he shou►d allude briefly to some of the principal questions which now engrossed the public mind. And first, then, was the question of protection. He had never been of opinion that protection would be beueficial to the farmer, but that, on the .o.,ontrary„ it Would (more especially to - Ilitr'gresinefar-roer) tend greatly to injure him. He had, therefore, nevir been in favour of its maintenance. They might now turn their attention to the other measures which had been brought forward by the great protection loader to rally them to the poll. They first saw the Protectionist party favour ing the annihilation of the independence of Cracow by the Russian despot—a course which he thought would not meet with the support of the people of this country. Then their voting for the application of sixteen millions of the public money for the construction of railways in Ireland. Another question which excited much in terest was the endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy. The question was one upon which he wished to keep himself open, to which he would give every attention, and upon which he would act to the best of his judg ment. With regard to the Government education ques tion, he considered that her Majesty's Ministers had acted fairly and honestly between all parties—they had dealt equally between the Church and the Dissenter, and had given no favour to either. Some details might require alteration, but the measure was based on sound principles—the principles of justice and equality, of civil and religious liberty. Mr. Pinney concluded by again thanking them for the high honour which they had con ferred upon him.—(Cheers.) The non. Member was then girt with the sword, and t'te business terminated. THE WINDOW-TAX and IRELAND. The interest which sanatory questions is now awaken ing will, we hope direct increased attention to the oppressive and injurious window-tax. The following petition has been put in circulation by Air. Richard Holwell " TO THE HONOURABLE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. " The humble petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the Parliamentary borough of the city and borough of Exeter—Sheweth, " That one of your Honourable Members for Bath (Mr. Roebuck) has very clearly and efficiently pointed out in his seat in the House of Commons, that the land lords and tradesmen, officials, &c., &c., do not, in her Majesty's kingdom, called Ireland, pay any assessed taxes of any kind, or any income or property-tax whatever. " That in the part of her Majesty's dominions, called England, all her subjects who have 1501. per annum and upwards, pay 31d. and 7d. in the pound thereon, also all the assessed taxes and window duties. " This your petitioners consider extremely unjust, im politic and unfair, to the great detriment of good opinion and respect (which is the best safeguard of the Three Estates), that every endeavour is faithfully used by the Legislature for equal justice to all subjects in this realm. " We, therefore, submit respectfully that your Honour able House will, without loss of time remit us the window d u ti es an d assessed taxes, and in lieu thereof put on an ir.come and propGrty- tax on all property, trades, professions, and offices in Ireland exactly as in England, which we are well assured will add a great appreciation of good Government, and much to her Majesty's crown and dignity, in the affection of her dutiful snbjects,— and your petitioners will ever pray, &c. &c.

FORGERY OF SCRIP CERTIFICATES OF THE LON DON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY SHARES.—Much sensation has been excited in the share market, by the discovery that a large number of scrip certificates of shares in the additional capital of the South-Western Railway Company, created in November last, have been brought into the market, and disposed of, and since ascertained to be forgeries. The directors have apprised - the public of the fact by advertisement, and earnestly requested any parties interested in the matter to com municate to them immediately. They have had s everal meetings meetings on the subject, and have placedt h effa the hands of Daniel Forester.—Sun d ay H lap s e r. affair SINKING OF A CANAL BOAT WITH —On Easter AND SIXTY PASSENGERS ON Tues day a large name the Euphrates ( an o ld Darlston hired a boat, ne party from the neighbourhood of Tipton and market canal pet to convey them for a h o lid ay to Bi rm ingham. a T c l k ie ) Packet started, filled w i t h men, women, and children, to the number of one hundred and sixty, increasing in numbers as the boat went a l ong, to such an extent that many persons had to sit upon the top, where also was a band of musicians. On reaching Rolfe's Bridge, Smithwick, those on the top commenced amusing themselves with rocking the boat, when sud denly she gave an unlucky heel, and in an instant the musicians, together with the other outside pas sengers, were precipitated into the canal ; the water entering the boat at the same moment, she filled and sank. The scene which ensued beggars description, the shrieks of the women and children being heard at a great distance. Fortunately, at the spot where the accident happened the water was not more than between five and six feet deep, and although the situation of the passengers was dangerous in the ex treme, their escape from drowning was very extraor dinary. There were at least seventy passengers in the cabin, some of the windows of which were open, and the water had reached nearly five feet above the cabin flooring. Those who had children were holding them above their heads. screaming franticly fur help. With considerable difficulty the whole of them were got out alive and landed in safety on the canal banks. By the kindness of the manager of a neighbouring glasswork, the women and children were admitted into the works, where they dried their c l o th es. H ad the boat capsized instead of sinking down, there is no doubt but that the loss of life would have been most frightful. —Sundae/ Paper.
