FINSBURY PARK BILL. Mr. C. FORSTER moved that the order for the so• coed reading of the Finsbury-park bill be read and dig charged, and that the bill be withdrawn. That leave be given to bring in a hill, " to enable the Metropolitan Board of Works to form a park for the northern suburbs of tr.e unetropolk to be called Finsbury Park,'" and that T.,.)rd R. Groeveuor, Mr. T. Duncombe, and Mr. Ccx do prepare and tiring in the same, and that the ix atniner of p,titions for private bills have leave to sit and proceed forthwith.—Agreed to. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favour of and against Mr. Hardy's Beer 8,1 l ; for the Equalisation of the Poor's Rates ; in favour of Mr. Headlarn's Medical Profe,sion ; against the Industrial Schools' Bill ; Viscount Goderich presented ten petitiot:s from tha neighbour , hood of Hu Iderefield in favour of the Beer Bill. SALE OF BEER. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. KER SEYMER moved as an amendment that the bill be read a sec Ord tinse this day six months. He believed drunkenness was the besetting sin of the work ing classes of this country, hut he thought it was now decreasing. The influence of good example amongst the upper classes, the increased desire on the part of em plovers t ) promote the moral, religious, and physical welfare of their servants, the establishment of parks, and the increase of education, were the causes of this, and it was no Utopian idea to imagine that, these would have a still further beneficial effect on the habits of the working classes. They bad seen a great change in the habits of the upper classes, in respect of drunkenness, and there was no reason to doubt that a similar change front the causes now in operation would take place in the habits of the lower classes. He condemned the restrictive principles of this bill, and remarked that no body of men would think of restricting, the number of shops in any other trades to be opened. He stated in support of his argument relative to the restrictive character of the licensing system generally, that during five years 2,343 persons applied for licences in the Metropeles, of whom only 493 were successful, and of these 72 were granted in the Tower Liberties. He considered there should be some regulations for the trade but not the restrictions proposed by the present mea sure. The hon. gentleman referred to the connection existing between the brewers and publicans relative to obtaining licenses, on the ground of the former supply ing the latter with ale and porter, and also to most of the pubic houses being the properly of the brewers, or mortgaged to them., The licensing system, coupled with the malt tax, was the great upholder of the brewers' monopoly. It was absurd to draw distinctions between beer shops and public houses, because there were bad in both branches, and it was a notorious fact that a number of public houses were t-ept by prize-lighters, who were a class of men he could never consider as re spectable. It was all Very well to tak about the morelity of publicans and brewers, but their object was •to sell as much beer as they could. Although the licence was strict as to adulteration and dilu tion, the publicans and beer shop keepers were obliged to have recourse to dilution for their profits, and Mr. Hawes, a celebrated brewer, who was examined before the committee, stated that the retailer had to " pump the new river" for his profits—(a laugh)—in other words, dilute the beer with 'eater, The present system of li ceasing was had and required alteration—magistrates being very often placed in unpleasant positions when they were asked to grant license's, and sometimes charged with partiality. Tne Beer Act had been success ful, inasmuch as it gave the public the reduction of duty, and allowed many persons, suc h as shell-fish shop keepers, to supply beer, who did not require a spirit license as will • He approved of one license in stead of two as now in practice, which wouid give the beerseiler permission to sell beer and spirits, or either, only as he thought most desirable for the purposes of his trade. Statistics of drunkenness were very fallacious, because no two towns had the same regulations for ap prehending persons under the influence of drink. In some towns the police had orders to take only such men as could not take care of themselves, whilst in others they took men who were a little the worse for liquor. The honourable gentle man also referred to the present system stigmatisiug a man as not being respectable by withholding his license, and at the same time preventing his rising in the class to which he belonged. Beer-shops, generally speaking, he thought were better kept than licensed houses. He approved of that part of the bil lwhich referred to coffee-houses that were kept open all night, and he regretted it had been made a part of this measure. The application of the Tippling Act to these shops he thought desirable and he complained of an omi ss i on i n t h e bill relative to the privileges of Free Vintners, and called attention to a house now open in Piccadilly under a free vintner's licence. He called upon the " strong Government" to take up the question, and not be afraid of the licensed victuallers, who, it could not be doubted, were a strong , class, and very influential in elections. Mr. W. BROWNE supported the amendment, and explained that his name had been put on the back of the bill under a misapprehension. When he first saw the bill lie found it so different to what he expected that he wrote to request the removal of his name from it, hut he was told it was too late, and could not be done. After reviewing the labours of the committee appointed two sessions since, of which he was a member, he expressed a hope that the Government would, next year, be prepared with a measure founded upon the report which the committee presentedtothe house. Mr. NEWDEGATE did not accede to the doctrine that, because the Government did not deal with an ac knowledged evil, private members attempting to legislate upon the subject should be considered as inter fering with the duties of the executive. He deprecated • too much responsibility being thrown upon the Govern ment, as inconsistent with the freedom and independence of hon. members. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS supported the second reading of the bil Sir G. GREY said that as a direct appeal had been made to the Government, he took an early oppor tunity of stating the views of the Government on this question, and his views on this bill. The hon. gentleman who had brought in the bill was not liable to censure for so doing, but rather praise for caus ing the subject to be discussed, and hon. members in formed thereby. The principle of this bill was substan. tielly to repeal the Act of 1830, and revert to the system that existed before, restricting the sale of beer absolutely to persona licensed by magistrates according to their arbitrary will, without anything to guide them. To that he entertained the strongest objections, and he pro ceeded to review the course of legislation that had taken place for many years past on this subject. This bill was at variance with the recommendation of the com mittee of 1854, and the honourable member asked for this bill because the morality, &c., of the country required that certain checks should be isle posed on the trade. The general result, however, of the evidence before the committee was, that drunkenness had decreased in the country, and where it existed it was attributable mostly to the use of ardent spirits. The towns in which drunkendess was said to have decreased were Birmingham, Norwich, Manchester, and Liver pool ; and when gentlemen said drunkeness was on the increase, they spoke of some local observation, and not of it generally throughout the kingdom. There could be no doubt that stilt it was too great, and was the cause of the commission of much crime. The law was more stringent with regard to the new house-keeper than the licensed victualler, for on a third conviction the magistrates had power to shut up such beer shop for two years, and report it to the excise ; yet no such third conviction had taken place. Many of the evils corn plaiued cf arose rather from the administration of the law than its defects. Asto the licensing syst, mhe thought • the evidence before the committee showed that the licen ing syFtem had failed to Iit:CMC the morality ..1 the paple. It was iinp,s,ih'e for magic !rates to form a just estimation c.l the quantity of beer and sprits required for a given district, and it vras imps is k for them properly to prot,ct net morality of the put.Fc from a fear of entrenching on vested rights, which they were bound to consider well as the question of public morality, and from that a house was rarely de prived of its licence. Before 1830 complaicts were made tgain:t certain houses which he believed still existed, and the true remedy for the evd4 coTp!ained of were not to be found in the bill before the _ house. Sfr Richard Mayne said that the beer shops were not worse conducted in the metropolis than the licensed public-houses, and the same evidence was given by Mr. W. Harvey, in reference to the beershops in the City, and he pave the numbers, that out of 138 beershops within the City, 131 were well conducted. To extend the system of roa,),istrates licensing all these houses would bu a retrograde movement. On the part of the Government he begged to say that they considered better regulations shoal be aflopted— (hear, bear) — and to make it the irate-rest of the publicans to better conduct their houses, by inflicting a penalty for doing wrong on the house, and make the property sutieritinstead cf irflicting a penalty on the occupier. He would give tie subject his best consi3eration during the recess, and introduce a measure neat session, if the hon. member would withdraw his bill. After some remarks from Mr. KENDALL and Mr. PACK U, . . Mr. HARDY replied. He did not consider the speech of the right hon. gentleman the Home Secretary, satisfactory, and expressed his doubts that any 'sieme ns would be brought forward wxt session founded on the report of the comtnittee referred to. Already it bad heen allowed to remain in abeyance three years, and private men had been obliged to interfere in this ques tion. lie denied that the movement arose with the kcensed victual ere, but from the pub'ic generally, who believed that the time had arrived when an alteration should took place in the law. He i►.t-nded to go to a division. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to reply to the arguments that had been used against the measure, reviewing the licensing system from the reign of Henry 7th to the year 1830, when the public-houses and beershops were one to 269 inhabitants. The beerehops then numbered 24,342, and afterwards they went up to 45,000, but subsequently, in 1855, after increasing the amount of rating, there were 43,648 beer shops, the public-houses numbering 62,570, and the eider shops 521, being at the rate of ore to 164 inhabitant , , including women and chil dren. After referring to the consumption of spirits in this country, and in those where no licensing system existed, be said that if the report of the committee were carried out, things would be worse than now, for the great brewers would be the sureties for the publicans, and thus they would monopetse the trade by getting al the houses into their hands. He had no wish to pre vent the association of the poor, but he wanted to secure them from the demoralising practices of beer sellers. He complained of the present system of licensing, which gave no security to the public ; because if magistrates (narked their sense of the disgraceful manner in which a house was conducted, by withdrawing the license, application was madedo the excise, and the house con tinued open to the injury of moral.ty. The Home Secre tary had said that magistrates had power to shut up a beer-shop for two years after a third conviction, but the law was evaded, fc r after a second conviction, the bust. ness was made over to another member of the family, and the convictions had to be gone over again. He con sidered the magistrates the best person to decide on the number of pale-houses required for a district, and that the discretionary power of licensing could be safely plac-d in their hands, more especially as they had to deal with crime, and the liberty of the sutject, many ef those houses being the hotbeds of the former. He hoped to bring the frea vintners of London under the provi sions of this which would be the means of getirg rid of a nuisance, and the evidence taken before the committee showed how necessary it was to place coffeeshops under regulations similar to pnhlie-houses. After some remarks from Mr. C. P. Villiers, chair man of the committee referred to in its defence, General Thompson, and Mr. Barrow, The h(mse then divided. The numbers were— F ,r the second reading lBO Against it Mai irity --- 33 The bill was accordin:4ly rejected. (Cheers ) PROPERTY QUALIFICATION BILL. KING moved the second reading of this bill. The only objection made' to it when ►t was first brought in was that it wool I interfere with the Government's promised measure of reform, but the noble lord at the head of the Government had given the best answer to the objection by the introduction of the Oaths Ell, which dealt the same as this, viz., with the elected and not the elector. Sir G. GREY moved that the bill be read a second time this day six months, the Government considering this and another bill on the paper should form the sub ject of discussion next year on the question of reform. Lie declined then to enter into the rnet its of the case. Mr. COBBETT could not assent to the withdrawal of this bia unless the Government pledged themselves that the question should form part of the new reform bill. Mr. COLLIER thought it was asking too much of the Government to state the details of their proposed mea sure of reform for next session. The time of the house could be better employed th's session than in discussing this measure. (Hear, hear.) If, when the when the Government measure was before the house, no provision was made relitive to this question, and the hon. member for Surrey moved au am.mirnent, he would supp,rt him. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE protested against the principle tbat the House of Commons should not discuss questions of Parliament reform. Hon. members were " piping hot" from the hustings, and were in a position to give the Government much information on questions of reform, and therefore it was desirable this and other questions on the paper relating to represen tation should be discussed. Unless the Government gave a pledge that this question and the more frequent reeistration of votes should form part of the new reform bill, be advi-ed his friend to go to a decision, and show the country who were and who were not reformers. Mr. GREER supported the second reading of the bill. Money was no test of honesty or intelligence, and he opposed the qualification clause, because it limited the circle of choice of representatives. Educa tion and intelligence should be the only test, and he thought an ex imination of members as to their legis lative qualifications desirable. There was no qualifica tion for the members of Scotland, who were a, respect able, intelligent, and good members as the English mem bers. (Loud cries of " Divide.") Lord PALMERSTON urged the withdrawal of this bill from the want of time to consider its provisions this session. Property qualification required much conside ration, as it was one of the ingredients of our constitu tional system. Mr. L. KING couM not agree with the exr...use of the noble lord, and should press Lis motion to a division. The holve divided, and the nuoibers were— For second reading 145 Against it Majority —s9 The wae, accordingly rfjected. ELECTION EXPENSE 3 BILL. Lord fl. GROSVENOR in consequence of the deci sion of the house on the Property Qualification Bill, withdrew the motion for the second reading of the Elec tion Expanses Bill. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS BILL. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE also withdrew this bill on the same grounds. VACCINATION. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE obtained leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Compulsory Vaccination Act, 1853. The other orders of the day were postponed, and the house adjourned at half-past 5 o'c'ock. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. This committee re-assembled yesterday Mr. Labouehere in the chair. The first witness called was Mr. Roche who, in reply to questions by the chairman, said be had been residing in Canada for the last 16 years. He held an official situation thore as fourth clerk in the Provincial Secretary's Depart ment of the Canadian Government, and had re ceived written instructions to plac'i himself in com munication with this committee. He had been in correspondence with persons connected with the fur trade, and he had drawn up some memoranda on the subject. Mr. Ellice suggested that the evidence in chief should be given viva voce. Mr. Roche, in reply to the Chairman, said he had never been in the Hudson's Bay Company's territory. But he was able to state generally what were the mineral riches of the territory. There were valuable copper mines and malachite, &c. By Mr. Christie—The feeling of the people of Canada was adverse to the Hudson's Bay Company, and they thought that they had no right to hold exclusive posses ion over such an extensive district. By Lord Stanley The Canadians generally thought that territory ought to .be annexed b Canada. By the Chairman—He believed it was not ex actly the feeling of the Canadians that Vancouver's Island should be attached to Canada, but they should like to see it thrown open as a colony and settlement. By Mr. Grogan—He thought the feelings of the Canadian people in respect to the territory were the same as those of the old French Canadians on that subject. The Canadians would prefer trying the old prairies for settling to the uplands on the Ottawa. . _ By Mr. Christie—He believed the Canadians would like to see the Hudson's Bay Company abolished altogether. By the Chairman—When there was competition in the fur trade, there was confusion and disorder and the introduction of spirits ; but spirits were introduced now. With regard to the relations between the Indian and whites in the American territory, he was aware there had been a good deal of bloodshed ; that was chiefly confined to Oregon. By Mr. Grogan—ln point of fact the Indians in Canada were increasing in numbers, intelligence, and wealth, and were settling down as agriculturists —they had communication with the w►iites. By Mr. Ellice—There was no fur trade carried lon by those whites and Indians in Canada. He shotild - piit, an end altogether to the sale of spirits for the sike, of the ludians. Tile MOM was cleared in order that ti:e commit tee might det•ide as to the recepton of certain writtet, documn!s which the wi•ne , ig had with him. On th-t parties bAng again admitted, Mr. Ho.:the, in reply to questions by Mr Clnis tie, said he wished to put in a petition flow the Red River set lers to the Parliament of Canada, praying for the annexation of the Hudson's Bay Company's t-riitory to Canada. He said it wai only a copy of the petition ; but the petition itself had been signed by from 800 to 1,000 people. Mr. Ellie objected to the reception of such a document• as evidence—it was a most unusual course. Mr. Roche, in reply to Mr. Christie, said that a committee of the Canadian Parliament was now sitting to inquire into the questions broached in that petition, and into the subject of the Hudson's Bay Company's charter generally. By Mr. Edice—He did not know by what au thority the Colonial Legislature assumed to inquire into charters granted by the Imperial Parliament with regard to territories not Lelenging to them, unless it might be to ascertain the effects of those I charters, and whether they conflicted with the rights of the province of Canada. The Chairman then thanked Mr. Roche for his evidence, and he withdrew. Captain D. Heard was the next witness. He said he had been in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company for the last 23 years. He com manded s , me of their ships. He said, in reply to questions by Mr. Ellice, he had been 23 years m the company's territory, and ho never saw more than one whale in all that time. lie believed there were no fish, and if there were the ice would render their capture impossible. By Mr. Qhristie--The company had never sent out any steamers, nor did he think it would be practicable. He was aware there was an Arctic expedition, and that they had sent out steamers, but he was not alvre of the result. If a screw steamer were sent out it would depend on the state of the straits whether it would shorten the passage. Sometimes ships were detained six weeks in the straits without being able to move. The distance from London to Hudson's Bay was calculated at 3,500 miles ; it was farther than to Montreal, and a more difficult passage alt igether. He did not know the value of his cargoes nor the rates of in surance. The tonnage was about 520 tons. The home cargoes usually consisted of furs and oils and stone ballait. The outward cargo consisted of manufactured articles, and tea and sugar and blan kets. There never were any applications from the merchants at York to send home tallow or any other produce, instead of the stone ballast they were obliged to carry to steady the ships, owing to the lightness of the articles which formed the home cargoes. Mr. Miles was the next witness. He said be had been sent out to Vancouver's Island E y the Hud son's Bay Company as inspector of accounts. He thought the soil of the island was superior to that of England ; there was a large quantity of timber and of coal ; the fisheries would be valuable in course of time ; he thought these was every neces sary in the island to form one of the finest colonies in the world ; the soil and climate were good, and tlare was abundance of timber, coal, iron, and fizih. After describing the route be took through the territory of the Suschatua, and the peculiarities of the various districts as to climate and products, the witness concluded his evidence. The commAtee then adjourned until Thursday next. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT RACES-TWESDAY. Sunshine and fair weather were suddenly fol lowed by dark lowering clouds, and bt.fore the afternoon was far advanced a drenching rain fell. This unpropitious change in the skiey influeuc. s was sufficient to deter many intending lady visitors to reserve them , elves for Thursday—the Cup Day— when her Majesty and Court will be present. Still the Heath was numerously attended ; the effect of the railway oa the gathering, was, however, appa rent in the comparatively scanty muster of vehicles, and the increased number of pedestrians. The Grand Stand was crowded, and notwith standing the inclement weather the assemblage of ladies was perhaps scarcely below the average. In the Queen's Stand and Private Stands were many fashionable visitors, but we shall reserve our list of distinguished parsons until the Cup Day. Under the active snperintsndence of the Earl of Bessborough the arrangements for carrying out the business of the meeting ate—as they invariably are at Ascot of the most efficient description. The racing, it will be see❑ from the appended detailed account, was marked by incidents of much present interest and prospective importance. The success of Arsenal over Strathnaver caused the old question of, " Who was second for the Derby l" to be revived, while the horse was much talked about afterwards in connexion with the St. Leger, for which event 20 to 1 would have been taken about him. Clydesdale, the winner of the Biennial Stakes, is likely to play an important part in the Derby beitingof 1858. Altogether the racing was in fa vour of the field , r4, "the Stakes" being carried off by a veritable outsider, Muck) Lorraine, who was backed for small burns only at priers ranging be tween 1.00 to 8 and 100 to 5. The races were decided as under— The Trial Stakes of 5 BOYS each, with 50 added. New mile. 13 subs. Mr. T. Wa`does The Early Bird, by Birdcateher, 6 yrs, 9st 3lb (D. Hughes) 1 Mr. T.

Schoolfellow 2 5 10 Tocher MILITARY RACES AT WARWICK. Our attontiun has been called to the official programme of a series of events which are full of interest and excite tnent to the sporting world, namely, a race meeting which is fixed to take place, at Warwick, on the 23d and 24th of September next. A leading feature in this affair is the rivalry of aficers of the French and English armies and navies, who, having recently' tested their ski'! and strength in some steepl-cha' e con• tests at La Marche, are about, with the aid of several members of French Jockey and other clubs, to renew the competition up( nan English racecourse. The War wick Race Committee have nut only expressly guaran teed 1501. towards the expanses of the meeting, with a view of securing so important a fixture, but taken upon themselves a.tditional responsibilitie., amounting to 4001., whilst the town of Leamington guarantees 1501. The first day's sport will consist of six events, the prin cipal of which, beating the characteristic designations of the Alma and Dalaklsva Stakes, are to receive the aid of liberal eubrcriptien from the borough of Warwick. These races Kill be confined to officers in active service by land and sea. Two handicaps are thrown open to the members of certain specified clubs in both countries ; and in tso other races jockeys will ride. The second day's running is upon an equally extended scale. There are an Inkerman Stakes and an handicap to each, of which Leatnington adds 501. of public money ; a Sevas topol Stakes, and another handicap—all four races being confined to French and English officers. There wi 1 be a third handicap, bearing a cognomen specially compli mentary to the " Het() of the Rcdan," and to which will be appended 1001. from the receipts of the star d, and also a plats of 501 give❑ by the committee. The Leamington Couricr says, " We are assured that several hundred pounds have already been collected among military gentlemen in furtherance of the objects of this meeting, thus securing the bonus announced for each particular event in the programme, indeptiadently of whatever amount of subscriptions may be locally col lected. Such a reunion of sportsmen from all parts of England and France, followinz, so closely upon the heels of the usual September Meeting at Warwick, is well calculated to induce a 1 age number of visitors to prolong their temporary srjourn in this neighbourhood. At the late affair at La Marche, it was an English r fficer— Captain Craven, of the Ist Life Guards, and nephew of Earl Craven, of Cow be Abbey—who had the honour of being the winner of the Great Military Steeplechase ; but is only fair to state that two French noblemen, Vicomte de Lauriston, and the Duke de Grammont- Cacierousse, who figured on the occasion, rode remark ably well." AQUATICS. SCULLER'S RACE BETWEEN DEAL AND WHITE FOR 501. Another below-bridge match tock place yesterday. The competitors were William Deal, jun., of Cherry garden-stairs, and Thomas White, of Mill-stairs, Ber mondsey. Deal was the winner of the Bermondsey Coat and Badge in 1851, and of the Bermondsey boat in 1855. Thomas White rowed for the Coat and Badge in the Royal Thames National Regatta last year, and also won the freedom at the Lambeth Regatta. The distance in this race was from the East India Docks, Blackwall, to the Wapping entrance of the London Docks; and the stake wa3 251. a-side. A. vety numer• ous party co'lected to witness the match. The men g off capitally together. Deal then took a slight lead, which be maintained to the West India Dockr. White then came ti him, and ater rowing scull and scull for some distance, began to leave him, and drew his boat a length in advance ; in this position they continued tow. ing desperately till they got to the Commercial Dock, Rotherbithe, where White gradually left bis opponent, and, increasing his lead, won by five or six lengths. The winner was taken up by Thomas White, of East-lane, and trained under his brother Henry, at Lambeth. .... 3 THE VEW DOOK AT MALTA. MALTA, June 3.—On June 1, at 3 p.m., the foun dation-stone of our new dock was laid by Admiral Lurd Lyons, the heads of departments, the n•tval and military in full uniform, and a nume ous bo ly of spectators being present. The Admiral was re ceived by a guard of honour of Royal Marines, and the vicinity was ga ly garnished wi h fl Igs, the bands playing national airs. The Lord Bishop of Gibraltar and lii3 clergy per formed the religious portion of the ceremony. Lord Lyons then took the silver t, owel, and, aft -r using it, mode a short, pithy, and appropriate speech, wuich was responded to by loud cheers, and a royal salute from her Ma jesty's sh;p Hibernia. A sumptuous repast was provided on board that vessel by the Hon. Sir Montigue•and Lady Stopford, in honour of the oc casion, and was followed by a dance. The foun dation-stone of the first dock was laid with inasouia honours : it occurred some years ago, under th• superintendence of Sir Lucius Curtis, Bart. P.G. M. for Hants. We had a gay wedding on the 2d ; the favourite prima donna Elena was manic.' to Mr. Magenia, of the 28th Regiment. The last-Russian prize remaining at Malta was put up to auction, and bought in by the Acting Marshal of the Admiralty Court for about 2101. His instructions were not to let her go for less than. 2501. She has been tome two years in Malta, and, while the courts have been hesitating about her being a prize, she has so deteriorated as to beoome almost worthless, and has cost much more than ate is worth. Things are very dull is Malta ; little business doing ; scarcely any freight for shipping. One barque has been lying in the port over seven weeks with a cargo of coals, for which no purchasers can be found at 30s. per ton. The exchange is now a little below par, but the commissariat have up to this refused to give any bills under par. For very many ye ire there has been a prohibi• tion against exporting cattle from the North Coast of Africa, but this has scarcely ever been enforced with regard to Malta, and formerly, whenever it was attempted, a frigate used to be sent with demand for so many cattle for Malta, and it was always complied with. Lately we have bee nne much more polite, and a let ter is sent solici4 ing that cattle may be permitted to be sent for the garrison of Malta. Very little attent ion is p aid to such mild app!ica+ions, and the prohibition is much more strictly enforced. The French have cleverly taken advantage of this, by having the cattle driven over the frontier and emb arked for exportation at Bona, w h er e British ships have to pay s s. per ton ton• nage dues, and 10 s. per head export duty, all w hi c h g oes into French pockets instead of English. I t i s hoped the E nglish consul-general will succeed in altering this. LLOYD'S SE IPPING.--crhis Day.) LONDON, Junelo.—Wind this day at noon, S.W.; strong breeze, and cloudy at times.
