The object of this Company is to offer the following advantages to travellers, which have never yet been attempted:- 1. Economy of time. 2. Diminution in the expenditure of hotels, couriers, servants, &c of at least 20 per cent. 3. The knowledge, before departure, of the exact expense to be incurred. 4. Exemption from the annoyances attending payments of fares by railroad, steam-boat, hotel bills, luggage, guides, &c. 5. Protection tYom the loss so frequently experienced in changing money. 6. Being enabled to travel with the most perfect security and com fort through all countries, without previous acquaintance with either their language or customs. To enable the Company to accomplish these desirable results, they have made the necessary arrangements with the various hotels, the different means of conveyance, whether by steam or diligence, and the several local authorities on the continent, by which every traveller will, at his departure from London, or any place on the continent, by a preliminary payment, be fnrnished with certificates for every pur pose requisite on the route, for every hotel, and for every means of conveyance, which, on presentation, will entitle the holder to be fur nished with the best accommodation at an uniform and reduced rate. He will also be furnished with letters of credit on every leading town on the continent, as the Company, in part of their arrange ments, have with the leading bankers of these places a guarantee fund always standing to their credit, and in every place of note an agent of the Company will be stationed, whose duty it will be to give every Information required. The saving to the traveller will be at least 20 per cent., indepen dent of the convenience, surety, and additional comfort ; while from the arrangements made with the several parties with whom the Com pany are in correspondence, a certain return of at least 10 per cent. may be assured upon the capital invested. The deposit of is. per share will meet all preliminary expenses, and it is anticipated that no further call than It. per share will be required to carry out the final operations of the Company. The calls will he made in instalments not exceeding 10s. each, and they will be lodged at the Company's bankers abroad, bearing in terest of 4 per cent. in favour of the Company, as securities to the contracting parties for the payment of the certificates issued by the Company, and who will iiannediately thereupon commence their operations. Applications for Shares should be addressed to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices ; or to the agents, Messrs. Woollard and Jenkins, New City Chambers, 121, Bishopsgate- street Within, where a detailed prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee, and a full account of the plans and arrangements of the Company, may be obtained.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY .EV ttening AP11111.4 LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1847 On account of the press of matter, we are ob:iged to omit our usual Parliamentary Summary. Parliament has emphatically negatived Mr. Humes motion for the stoppage of payments upon the Russo- Dutch Loan, but it has refrained from acceding to that proposition, in a manner which must carry dis may to the Northern Triumvirate. Never did the political depravity of a foreign Government receive so decided a reprobation, and never was protest pro nounced in the British Legislature in language so peculiarly dignified, or in a way more honourable to our national character.. We have receives an extra ordinary provocation from Austria and Russia by their faithless infraction of the articles solemnly signed at Vienna, beyond this we have had held out to us a golden temptation to compensate ourselves for that infraction, by withholding certain annual pay ments, from the responsibility of disbursing which we are tolerably well proved to be altogether re leased ; but, despite this provocation, and despite this temptation, we have refused to renounce the perfect integrity of our present position for the gratification of an unworthy spleen. Can this deliberate decision of Parliament against the Northern Powers be ineffective ? Can a decision enforced by such dispassionate calmness be treated with in difference ? The voice of Europe has loudly pro claimed its indignation at the seizure of Cracow—the House of Commons has echoed that indignation, and it has imparted to its expressions of abhorrence an irresistible weight by voluntarily rejecting an oppor tunity for retorting upon the infraction of the c)m• pact of 1815 by an act of faithlessness in regard to the agreements of 1831. We are satisfied that no one will regret the manner in which this important discussion has terminated, seeing that it administers a more overwhelming blow to the criminal despots than supposing it had resulted in an objection to continue the instalments on the Russo- Dutch Loan. " You have sinned," it cries to Russia, "you have sinned grievously against ourselves, against the sanctity of international treaties, against the sublime and inalienable rights of man ; you have sacrificed Polish freedom to the Baal of your own lustful ambition ; you have treated contumeliously the friendship of confiding empires ; you have risen in arms against the holiest principles of Christianity, against the divinest immunities of the human race, against the solemn decrees of justice, and in so doing you have virtually released us from the debt incurred by the junction of Belgium and Holland. How do we act in this critical position of our relations ? Do we repay falsity; by falsity ? Do we answer the annihilation of Cracovian independence by the obliteration of our liabilities to your exchequer ? Do we yield to the allurements of a pecuniary advantage, and respond to your territorial dishonesty by our monetary dishonesty ? We do not. We abide by our absolute engagements, notwith standing your crimes have weakened, if they have not actually broken, the bonds of those engagements. We raise our voice of warning and of remo:.strance at the violation of the neutrality of the Polish citizens of Cracow ; but we continue to liquidate the yearly debts incurred by our stipulations upon the Russo-Dutch Loan. We protest before Heaven and Earth against your gigantic crimes ; and, at the same time, we preserve the integrity of our own character unsullied !" That is the language addressed to Russia by the people of England through the lips of their , representatives. It was eloquently and truthfully remarked by Mr. SMYTHE, that Russia, Austria, and Prussia had behaved towards Craco w as SEMIRAMIS behaved towards NIN " The three Powers suckled Cracow and then de bauched it; and they went further than SEMIRAMIS, for they destroyed it." Through the dark tissue by which these imperial transactions have been shrouded throughout, is visible the broad and execrable fact, that Cracow has, ever since 1815, been insidiously de bauched into insurrection by the agents of adjacent despotism. From the moment when they guaranteed the perfect and perpetual independence of the Craco vian republic, the CZAR and the KAISER leagued to gether for its incorporation in their dominions; and to accomplish this masterpiece of villany they fomented the:local discontents, and drove within the walls of the free city the revolted peasantry of Galicia. Under .the ominous mask of Pro tection, therefore, has this great crime been con ceived and consummated, and from the congenial lovers of a similarly odious Protection have alone proceeded the expressions of its approval. With Lord GEORGE BENTINCK and his colleagues rests the unenviable memory of having become the panegyrists of the destroyers of Poland. Upon the grave of that heroic nation, as upon the monument of Kosciusxo, there is inscribed, however, one word—a word beaming with solace and illumined with hope —one word— It is, w e "RESU RGAM !" would believe, a prophetic contr a di c ti on t o the famou s " Finis poto'nice; it is we wou ld b e li eve an assurance that Tyranny,heovwe its duplicity, can n however awful may b e it s physical str engt h , ore however its triumphant in the endnsummate may be prove —can never escape th e sword of retribution—can * t_.

If the patriots of Poland are patient under their sorrows, their ultimate recom pense is inevitable; and if the deductions drawn from experience can be trusted, the indignation of the English Parliament will not have been expressed in vain. ceeds in discharge of his own debts and costs, and render the overplus, if any, to the official assignee. And if any unprotected bankrupt or in solvent shall be in possession of goods or chattels, whereof he is the reputed owner, they shall be liable to be seized under a writ of fi. fa., for the benefit of the person who may have issued the same. The above are the chief provisions of the new Bill, so far as they relate to the public, and we doubt not that they will be received with general approbation. The other parts relate to the constitution of the Courts of Bankruptcy and Insolvency; the Court of Review is to be abolished, and appeals are to be heard before the Chancellor or one of the Vice-Chancellors. The American intelligence which has reached us by the mail steam-ship Cambria, includes advices from New York up to the 27th ult., and from Boston to the Ist March. The Congressional and commer cial news correspond with the impressions which the former accounts had conveyed to our mind. The American markets never enjoyed greater activity than they have of late. The extreme pressure in Europe, arising from an un favourable harvest and the deplorable destitution of Ireland and parts of Scotland, having rendered ex tensive mercantile operations with America necessary for supplying the grievous want of food, easily ac counts for the buoyancy of her markets. There is no deficiency in bread-stuffs, but the means of transport are most limited compared with the demand for them. Consequently, the price of freight age is exorbitant, and a healthy range is completely frustrated. Cotton has declined in price; and though any the slightest reduction in this commodity is of infinite importance to the manufac turing prosperity of this country, it cannot at present participate in the advantages of purchasing the raw material at a cheaper rate with the existing cost of freightage. Had the principles of free trade been fostered years ago between England and America, as they should have been, and our navigation-laws been laid open to any improvement of which they may be susceptible, these evils would never have been experienced. Letters have, it is said, been received from St. Petersburgh which make mention of acts of murder and pillage having recently been committed in the Government of Mohilef, in White Russia — massacres which call to mind those of which the en virons of Tarnow, in Gallicia, were the theatre during the last year, and which have ensanguined several villages. These disorders, according to the accounts given, commenced from a banquet given by the officers of a Russian regiment, about to change its quarters, to the inhabitants of the place it was about to leave. At this banquet toasts accusing the Government of hostile intentions, and even reflecting upon the EMPEROR, himself, were given and drunk with acclamations. The report of this occurrence, made to the authorities by an official personage present, made no other accusation against the party than that of having been too copious in its libations and too turbulent. Nevertheless, several officers of the regiment have been reduced to the ranks. The news of this punishment, on reaching Mohilef, was followed by the rising of the peasants on the estates of several lords of the soil, who were known to be animated with a spirit of opposition to the Go. vernment. These peasants, gorged with brandy, assembled in bands, plundered the houses, and killed the inhabitants, while shouting " Long life to the Emperor," even cutting. the throats of such men of their own class as refused to join them in their excesses. Troops sent from the chief town stopped this scene of devastation, which, however, was after wards renewed at other points. Congress had nearly reached its constitutional term. It seems likely to close its proceedings, leav ing public matters of great national interest in a most unsatisfactory state. The Three Millions Bill re mained undisposed of. The House of Repre sentatives had sanctioned, by a majority of 115 to 105, the important proviso of Mr. WTIL MOT, of New York, that no slavery shall exist in any territory annexed to the United States, by virtue of the appropriation of the above amount, which the President had asked for to effect a peace with Mexico. The Senate were occupied with the discussion upon this amended Bill. We hope they will adopt the amendment, for the sake of humanity; but public opinion inclines to the belief that it will be rejected. The Tariff Bill, by which Mr. PoLx. desires to raise a revenue for prosecuting an ini quitous war, chiefly by augmenting the duties on tea and coffee, is in the same plight with the Three Millions Bill—that is, nothing is settled. The last message of the President, begging for "the sinews of war," has not had the effect of reconciling Con gress to either the policy, wisdom, or justice of the aggressions which are being carried on against Mexico. With their love for territorial aggrandise ment, it is manifest that the American Legislature would never have evinced so much reluctance to assist the President in his hostilities with Mexico, had they been either just in their origin, or were they likely to be concluded with honour. Mr. WEBSTER has offered the two following resolutions to the Senate, which, it seems to us, they could not do better than confirm : Intelligence from Constantinople to the 27th u' has been received. The SULTAN, acting, it is said, under the advice of the Ambassadors of the Great Powers, has given the Greek Cabinet one month for compliance with his demands; after which all diplomatic intercourse will be broken off, unless proper concessions be made by the Government of Greece. A firman has been issued, prohibiting the exportation of corn from Salonica. The Circassians have nearly exterminated the Achenes, a native tribe in alliance with Russia. The Achenes were at Casaban, where the Circassians fell upon them, and put 5,000 of the men, women, and children to the sword. It is reported that a conspiracy had just been dis covered, in which HAFIZ PAcHA, lately Minister of Justice, and a great many influential Pachas, were compromised. Numerous arrests had been made, but no particulars had got wind. Great excitement pervaded all classes. Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the 9th, Senor SAGASTO moved for the production of the documents relating to the property left by FERDINAND VII. to his children. The Hon. Deputy alluded to the re ports which were in circulation on the subject of the disappearance of no less a sum then 37,122,000 reels. The honour of an illustrious personage was con cerned in having this matter cleared up, and it was on that account the Hon. Deputy said that he asked for the production of these documents. The motion was negatived by a large majority. " First, That the war with Mexico ought not to be pro secuted for the acquisition of territory to form new states to be added to the Union; and, second, that our Government ought to signify to Mexico that the United States does not desire to dismember that republic, and is ready to treat for peace, tor a liberal adjustment of boundary, and for a just indemnity for claims due by either Government to the citi zens of the other." In the meanwhile, we learn from the seat of war that the forces of the United States are considerably harassed by the guerilla tactics of their opponents. The odious cause in which the former have been em barked leads U 3 to rejoice at any success that may attend the patriotic resistance of the latter. Some rioting took place at Saragossa on the 9th, but the rioters dispersed before any force could be brought up against them. A Carlist band had en tered the town of Balehing, where they remained some hours collecting arms and ammunition, and levying contributions.• They subsequently left Bale hing and advanced to Manresom. Another great boon is about to be conferred on .nsolvent debtors by the new Bill, in addition to those we have already mentioned. Heretofore, although the conduct of the petitioner may have been entirely blameless although he may have had considerable assets to distribute amongst his creditors —made the fullest disclosure thereof, and exerted himself in the most praiseworthy manner to realise his property—he merely obtained a protection for his person and personal property from any individual creditor, but the weight of his debts' still remained a clog and incumbrance, preventing him from entering into any business or enjoying the fruits of his labours at any future time. In fact the position of the most meritorious insolvent was as bad as that of the uncertificated bankrupt. Ile could never hope to be free except by the payment of every single shilling due by him, and he was con sequently prevented from taking the steps by which he might possibly be enabled on a future occasion to liquidate every demand. 'Were he labouring with assi duity and effect, any creditor might step in, and by an application to the court compel him to surrender the fruits of his industry, and give up everything for the payment of his former debts. This provision para lysed the efforts of the unfortunate man, and pre vented him from availing himself of his own powers to earn more than a bare subsistence, or to lay by a provision for a future day, a provision of which he might at any moment be deprived, or else it induced him to make use of unworthy evasions and subterfuges to guard the property so acquired. It was practically of little value to the creditors, because the instances in which their demands were satisfied were rare indeed, while it kept the debtor depressed, and with scarcely a prospect of emerging from his difficulties. A strong feeling has for some time existed of the pro priety of assimilating the bankrupt and insolvent law in this respect; this will now be accomplished. Lord BROUGHAM proposes to enable the court or judge, before whom the debtor has been examined, if satis fied that he has made a full disclosure, and has ap plied in full time for protection, and not unduly delayed making a distribution of his property among his creditors—having regard to such con duct of the petitioner and to the amount of dividend which he has given the xneans of paying to his creditors—to add to the final order an order protecting the future acquired estate and effects of the petitioner from all process of his schedule cre ditors, such order to discharge all debts con tracted previously to the date of his petition, as fully as if he had become bankrupt and had obtained his certificate. Every inducement will thus be held out to the embarrassed man to act fairly towards his cre ditors, and, what ought to be the great object of every law, a full and entire surrender of property will be attained.

In either bankruptcy or insolvency the court or judge may at any time suspend or withdraw the protection granted to any bankrupt or insolvent, either as to person or property, or either .of them, and may again renew or suspend from time to time, as he may think proper, and the assignee or assignees shall from the time of such bankrupt's or iasblvent's accounts becoming records of court, be deemed judgment creditors for the total amount for which he shall admit himself to be indebted to alI his cre ditors, and if the protection shall be suspended or withdrawn, a certificate is to be granted to the as- signee or assignees, which shall have the force and effect of a judgment in the Court of Queen's Bench. Every individual creditor is also to be considered a judgment creditor from the time of proving his debt, and should the protection be suspended or withdrawn, a similar certificate may in like manner be granted to him, which will have a like effect. On obtaining such a certificate the assignees may procure a ca. ;a. or fi. fa. against the person er property of such bank rupt or insolvent, and the Court may order his re lease after he shall have undergone such inip rison ment, not exceeding one year, as to the court shall - - seem a sufficient punishment for the of tices of -which he may have been guilty. These are valuable provisions. The reproach to our law will be taken away, that allowed every creditor to Le judge in his own case, and to avenge himself,' whethor the debtor was deserving of punishment or othersvise; the fraudulent debtor will not escape, but the court must first decide that it is proper that he shall be so punished. Any creditor may apply to the court for an order to authorise him to seize, at his own risk,, for his own benefit, any property of which a bankrupt 'svhose certificate has been refused or suspended, or 2stn in solvent whose final order has been refuseci i , may appear to be in possession, and to apply the pro- We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL in the Cracow debate has roused the ire of La Presse. It says— " Sir Robert Peel has mingled in his speech protestations of devotedness and respect for the three Powers of the north, the least haughty possible. He went so far as t o d ec l are that he should not have main• tained the entente cordiale be tween France and England, if he should thereby have been obliged to sacrifice the good relations betwe en E ng l an d and the other Powers. I mai▪ ntained this entente cordiale,' said he, ' and I regret that it h as been so unfortunately broken on the occasion of importanc e the Spanish marr i ages, b ecause I ; intimate the Ns'oinldtercoursebut I should never have, if it had g i ven um brage to the three great Powers, which have shown suc h consider it of the greatest t o th e cause of civiliza tion consented tion and kindness to Great Britain. , Thus , we do no t yet k now to what point the entente cordial. Was a dupery, an d t hi s avowal the to peace this of Sir Robert Peel was necessary to show us what support it would have given us, had a struggle occurred between the continental Powers and us. The moment that the northern Powers should have taken umbrage a t t hi s i ntimate con nexion, it would have disappeared, and France would have found herself alone." The debate on the proposition of M. LLIERBETTE, for doing away with the title of Excellency as applied to Ministers, was resumed in the Chamber of Depu ties on Monday. M. LHERBEFTE, however, ulti mately withdrew his motion ; and the Transatlantic Steam-packet Bill was :greed to. A further rise in the price of bread i n P ar i s, f or the 16th, is (says the Constitution ne a now certain. It was with this prospect that the Municipal Council at its last sitting voted new funds to provide for this constantly increasing expenditure. The supplement for a loaf of two kilogrammes, now costs the city 30 centimes, and it will probably cost 40 in a few days. The expenditure on this head, for the first quarter of this year, will exceed 2,800,000 f. ; it will amount to nearly a million of francs for the month of March alone.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very dull again, the sales being only 1,200 to 1,500 bales, and chiefly American descriptions, all to the trade. Prices were 3( i d. per lb. lower than on Friday last. There was but little done in shares. The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., was dull, and rather less 'business done. There was no great change in prices. The following are a few of the principal sales:— Vale of Neath £0 18 0 Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire .... 0 9 0 Calcutta and St. George's Point 0 4 6 Shrewsbury and Birmingham (A) 3 14 0 North Staffordshire Great Northern (London and York Reg.) 2 3 6 East Indian ...

Much interest has been excited by the tenor c,f the advices from the United States, and although in some respects not of the importance anticipated, they are still of a character to excite attention in the present state of the Money-market. The Americans were amply supplied with cash, and in excellent spirits, the grower, merchant, and shipowner being all benefited by the extraordinary de mand from Europe. A great deal was doing in grain, but the high rates of freight were sufficient to keep down the rates, as in the event of a rise in the American ports, prices, with charges, would be relatively higher than in Europe. The exchange had declined again, the quotation given by a Morning Contemp orar y, 6 percent., being about 1 per cent. too high. There will be large supplies of grain, and pro bably lower prices when the canal navigation re-opens. The latest report of the Quebec market states that the spirit of speculation was beginning to decline, but that prices would greatly depend upon the accounts received out by the mail of February 4. The weather at Quebec con tinued cold for the season. The thermometer had been at 10 degrees below Zero, and the depth of snow in the hard wood lands was about four feet. From Fredericton, New Brunswick, we are advised that " Considerable activity will be manifested during the en suing spring, in the most profitable branch of our domestic industry—shipbuilding. No less than fourteen large ships and barques are at present building in this harbour, some almost ready for launching, an d o th ers i n a forward state, many more, we believe, are building at Quaco and other outports. Several are building on the river, at the Oroniocto, and other places. The largest ship ever built in this province, which will measure about 1,500 tons, is now on the stocks, at Messrs. Owens and Duncan's ship-yard, Portland. The splendid new steamer building at Courtenay Bay, to run on the river, is fast approaching completion, and will be launched and ready at the opening of the navigation. She is owned by Captain Akerly, and Messrs. T. Barlow and Co., by whom her engines and machinery are entirely con structed." The fine weather, which would certainly have further as sisted the Money-market, has had its influence counteracted by the decline in the exchanges yesterday afternoon, and also by the rate coming lower from America. The uncer tainty as to whether the Bank of England will further ad vance the rate of discount to-morrow is also felt. Consols for Transfer have been 88% %, and for Time, 88% X.

The Committee met today at twelve o'clock; the Hon, W. Lascelles in the chair. All the members were present. IPSWICH AND BUILT ST. EDMUNDS (No. IX, -NEVI7INCAR2LET AND ELY.) The case on behalf of this scheme was proceeded with. Mr. AUSTIN addressed the Committee on the report of the Railway Commissioners respecting this line. This report alleged that the subscription contract was irregular, inasmuch as it was signed by the directors only, instead of the body of shareholders. The Railway commissioners appeared to think that this was not a sufficient compliance with the standing orders, and the Committee were now desirous of ascer taining whether the money was likely to be forthcoming. The Learned Gentleman addressed himself at some length to this point, contending that the directors had signed the subscrip tion contract on behalf of the shareholders, and that, in vir tue of this arrangement, there was no doubt of the neces sary capital being forthcoming to complete all the works sought to be made by the two Bills of the company. The original scheme would have required upwards of two mil lions, but it had been reduced to bring it to about a mil lion, and the estimate for the present Bill was 600,000/. . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. Lord HOTHAIVI moved, pursuant to notice, that it be an instruction to the Committee on Group No. 1 on railway Bills to entertain the petition of Captain James Ryder Burton (presented the 15th of March) against the South- Eastern (Mid-Kent and Direct Tunbridge Bill) not withstanding the same was not presented three clear days before the first meeting of the Committee thereon. He (Lord Hotham) wished to say a few words with regard to this petition, in order to show that the peti tioner was entitled to have his application referred to the Committee sitting on the South-Eastern and Mid-Kent lines. The applicant possessed a mansion about 150 yards from the turnpike-road, between the two towns of Seven oaks and Dartford, and in the first instance the railway was to pass so close to his house that a' part of the paddock was included in. the line of deviation. It was how ever arranged that the litre should pass to the west side of the turnpike-road, and consequently Cap tain Burton did not think it necessary to enter any opp - sition. The Committee was appointed for the 11th of March, and until a few days before its sitting Captain Burton did not, know that the , course of the line was again altered, and that it would affect his house. He had not, therefore, time to present his petition three clear days before the sitting of the Committee, as required, and consequently could not enter any opposition. Under sueh circumstances, he hoped that the House would allow it to be an instruction to Group No. 1 to entertain this petition. After a few words from Mr. GREENE, which did not reach the gallery, the motion was agreed to. HEREFORD AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY. This Bill was read a second time. EASTERN AND WEST YORKSHIRE RAILWAY. Mr. FINCH presented a petition from severaipeisZ;;"on the proposed line against this Bill. SMALL DEBTS BILL. An HON. 3.lF.mmut presented a petition against the Sma Debts Bill. POOR REMOVAL ACT. Mr. CHRISTOPHER presented a petition from Gates head, praying for the repeal of this Act, which stated that the effect of it was to greatly increase the burdens which they had to endure from the poor-rates. INCOME AND ASSESSFD TAXES. Colonel T. WOOD presented a petition from th e co ll ectors of the income and assessed taxes, stating that the salaries they received were totally inadequate to the duties which they had to perform, and praying for an increase of re muneration. ------ YdRK AND NEWCASTLE RAILWAY. The Bill for this line was read a second time. RATING OF TENEMENTS. On the order of the day being moved for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. FERRAND said that he could not sufficiently express his astOnishment at the conduct of any Member of that House who interposed his own Bill before the Committee of the Ten Hours' Factory Bill. The SPEAKER reminded Mr. Ferranti that the motion had not yet been put to the House, and that he was out of order. Mr. FERRAND having apologised, Mr. SPOONER presented a petition from Birmingham and the adjoining parishes, praying that the Bill might not pass, and if it did pass that they might be exempted from its operation. Th e order of the day having been read, Mr. P. SCROPE said that he trusted the Hon. Member would not press his motion for the second reading of his Bill upon the House, and wished to know whether it was in tended to take the Factories Bill this morning? He wassatis !Lc( that the discussion upon the second reading would oc cupy a considerable time, for if it were taken h e sh ou ld en deavour t o o b ta i n the indulgence of the House, while he stated his reasons for giving his most strenuous opposition. It was well known that there wasgreatobjection inrural districts to the building cottages for the accommodation of the pour, and it this Bill were passed he believed that that disinclination would be very la rge ly i ncrease d. H e was quite aware that there was a g rea t ex t ent o f p ro p er ty n ot assessed for t he re lief of the poor, and he was of opinion that it was very pro perly excused, though that• relief amounted, as he be lieved, to some hundreds of thousands of pounds --he could CORN E X C HANGE-IVEDNE SD AY. During the present week the arrivals of Wheat from Kent have been moderately good—those from our other counties limited. To-day the show of samples was by no means large, and most descriptions commanded a steady sale, at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday. There were a few transactions in foreign Wheat for shipment to France; but for home consumption very little was doing in that article. The best malting Barley sold readily, at ex treme prices; while there was a better feeling in the demand for other descriptions. Malt was ex ceedingly dull in sale, at barely stationary prices. We were rather scantily supplied with Oats, the demand for which was firm, at the late improvement in value. Beans, Peas, and Flour commanded full prices, but Indian Corn was much neglected. 7,810 Malt, 1,340 qrs. WHETECHAPEZ. We had a full average supply of Meat on offer to-day Generally speaking, the demand was heavy at barely sta• tionary prices.—Beef, from 2s 8d to Ss 6d ; Mutton, 3s 4d to 4s 4d; Veal, 4s 2d to 5s 2d ; and Pork, 3s 4d to 4s 10d per 81bs by the carcase. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in his Court iu the Old Hall, Lincoln's-Inn, and heard appeals. THE ATTORNEY-GIENERAL V. THE MERCHANT ADVENTURERS OF BRISTOL. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls, occupied his Lordship the whole morning. We have already given the facts of the case. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE PAUL GARBANATTI. This bankrupt, who carries on business as a carver and gilder in Newman -street, Oxford-street, came up to apply for his certificate. The case was of a peculiar nature, and it was his fifth ap plication. It appeared that although no opposition had been made by the creditors, either to his passing his last exami nation, or to his certificate, the Learned Commissioner, after consulting the other Commissioners, held that he could not grant the certificate, as no assignee had been chosen, although there were sufficient funds in hand to pay a dividend, and the creditors allowed him to carry on business on his own account. After some difficulty an assignee was chosen, His HONOUR now granted the certificate. In the course of the proceedings it was stated on behalf of the bankrupt, that he had paid over 90/. to a solicitor for the purpose of paying out the execution creditor, the whole of which the solicitor had applied to his own use, and in con sequence the bankrupt had been compelled to sue out the present fiat. His HONOUR said, in such a case application ought to be made to the Judge of the Court in which the solicitor or attorney practised. A party so misconducting himself ought at once to be struck off the rolls, which was; the only way to put a stop to such disgraceful practices. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Mary Montgomery, a young female in the employment of Mr. Leashbrooke, of No. 5, Liverpool-terrace, was charged with stealing a cash-box, containing 161. 10s., a gold watch, a number of silk handkerchiefs, and various other articles; the property of her master. It appeared, from the statement of the prosecutor, that the prisoner had been in his employment only three weeks, and yesterday evening he found that she had absented her self without the knowledge of any person in the house. Upon going up stairs to his bed-room he perceived that the door of a wardrobe, in which he kept his more valuable property, was open, and that the above property had been stolen. He went to thei station-house to give information of the robbery, and while there the prisoner was brought in by a constable who took her into custody in Canterbury-fields. The policeman stated that last night he met the prisoner, and his attention was attracted towards her by the fact of her having on neither shoes nor stockings, and wearing her cloak over her face, as if to conceal it. On reaching her he found the cash box, watch, and other articles. When con fronted with Mr. Leashbrooke, at the station-house, she acknowledged to having committed the robbery. Mr. COMBS stated that he should commit the prisoner for trial, but ordered her to be again brought up on Friday. Ann Parkes was charged with stealing a valuable watch, the property of Mr. J. Ashlin, one of the officers of the Asylum for the Reformation of Females. The prisoner had been at one time an inmate of the insti tution, which she left about twelve months ago, and on the t2th of February last she again applied for admission. The prosecutor brought her down to his kitchen, where the watch was upon the table, and a knock coming to the hall door soon afterwards, he went to open it, and desired the prisoner to call on him the following Sunday. In about ten minutes after the prisoner's departure he missed the watch, and he never saw the prisoner again until she was in custody. s i p o c o to o l_his e own feit a l s t s n u o: e v d l ed thate to t wasth e amount actual)y of na l more os 4 l : ti a b. i country, while it had proved of great benefit to the pe . ;', com erned. This Bill proposed to make the landlerd p r,!, spunsible for the rates of their tenants, but that would co no reliet whatever, for the landlords would be sure to ttr. their own back again in the state of an increased rental.

Mr. WADDINGTON suggeste d t h at t h e Bill might be read a second time, and go into Committee proforma. h , Mr. BROTHERTON wi s h e d to see i t postpo ned till Au ' Easter. Mr. WADDINGTON would have no objection to postP e c r li e e t the Bill, but he had done so last year, and then had n obtained an opportunity of bringing it forward before the of the session. the Sir G.
