OCTOBER 29, 1847. Ministers have adopted the constitutional course of calling together the representativesohf.eh the people, to w deliberate upon the circumstance s rendered a departure from the ordinary law of the land an act Mit merely of sound policy, but of actual necessity, to obtain their opinion as t o the propriety of the sus p ension of the Bank Charter Act, and their sanction to the new measures by which it is proposed to re gulate the monetary affairs of the country. In a few days the Gazette will contain the proclamation sum moning Parliament to assemble on the 18th of No vember for the diSpatch of business. This is as it should be, and affords a favourable augury for our future prospects, ar:d a reasonable hope that we may speedily be extricated from the financial difficulties and the general distress in which the entire nation has been involved from too obstinate an adherence to a code which experience has proved to be in the 'ugliest degree injurious to the national interests, and 46 tawitir of the national prosperity, T h ere were _ _ H Z S n, 0 many reasons why it was highly desirable that Par liament should meet without delay. The state of Ireland, unfortunately, is such as to require measures for the relief of her people, which it is expedient to place before the Legislature before they should be brought into operation. The steady advance of the cholera, and the great danger that the nation would again be exposed to its fearful ravages, demanded that sanitary measures should be brought forward of such a character as to enable us, so far as merely human means may be effective, to arrest its progress, and to preserve the lives of those who might otherwise fall victims to its baneful fury ; but, above all, the ruin that was impending over our commercial and manu facturing interests, the general distress that prevailed throughout the entire country, from which none were exempted, but which alike affected the wealthy merchant, the opulent mill-owner, and the hard-working operative, rendered it essential •that not an hour should be lost in convening Parliament, and adopting measures by which some more perma nent prosperity might be attained than any that has existed since the passing of the fatal Act of 1819, or perhaps we might say since 1816, when the Bank contracted its issues with a view to commencing its preparations for a resumption of cash payments, and a fearful amount of agricultural and commercial dis tress was the consequence. Impressed with these feelings, we omitted no op. portunity of calling for the immediate assemblage of Parliament. We perceived that, although temporary steps might act as palliatives, and in some degree al leviate the sufferings of the country, a remedy by which a permanent cure could be effected could alone be hoped for from the Legislature. On the 19th inst. we said, " The summoning together of Parliament to assemble with the least possible de lay, in order to take into their consideration the mea sures rendered necessary, would have an instant effect in calming the existing excitement. Such a course would be, at the same time, the most consti tutional and the best calculated to afford a permanent remedy for the disease under which the country is suffering, to effect a perfect cure." And again, on the same day, we added, " Let Parliament, then, be immediately called together ; and in the meantime, let our chosen Ministers assume the power that should have been granted by that Bill, and demand an indemnity for the Act rendered necessary for the welfare of the people." We have since repeated those demands almost every day. But the moment that the Government came to that conclusion, " that the time had arrived when they ought to attempt, by some extraordinary and temporary measures, to re store confidence to the mercantile and manttfacturing community," and with that object authorised a de parture from the terms of the Bank Charter Act, that which was before desirable as a matter of sound policy, and of considerable importance to the public generally, became a constitutional duty, which could not be postponed or evaded. Lord JOHN RUSSELL i 6 too sagacious a statesman to afford a precedent which, at any future time, may be made use of against the popular liberties. We are rejoiced, there fore, to find that what we desired on the 19th instant has been conceded, that Parliament has been sum moned, and that the Ministers, in the meantime, have assumed the power which should have been granted by the Bill of 1844, and which it was intimated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his letter of the 16th of April, 1844, to the Governor of the Bank, would be allowed, when he said, " that the securities should not be increased beyond the amount originally fixed, except under circumstances to be stated by the Bank to the Government, and after the con sent of certain members of the Government, namely, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Master of the Mint." That con cession has undoubtedly been clogged with conditions calculated materially to impair its value and to restrict its benefits. It has fixed the rate of interest so extresaly high, that it is impossible that production caribe r earried on with profit to the manufacturers; but still the mere fact that the Act of 1844 had been practically thrown overboard, that it had received its death-blow, and could never again be restored ; and that, in all human probability, the Act of 1819, to which it was an appropriate adjunct, would be involved in the same destruction, and consigned, along with it, to the sepulchre of those enactments which are found unsuited to the advanced intelligence of the age, and the general interests of the nation, restored the confidence of the people, and led them to hope for the speedy advent of more auspicious days. It now rests with the people themselves to say what shall be the nature of the new enactments. If they are apathetic or careless on the subject, they will still be exposed to the periodical return of scenes of distress and misery, such as those under which they have been, and, we regret to say, are still suffering. Attempts will undoubtedly be made by some parties to retain a fixed price for gold, and the immediate convertibility of all paper issued by or with the sanction of the State ; there will still be a hankering after the old system, and ef forts will still be made "to maintain the in tegrity of the standard." If these attempts be not defeated the people must themselves be the sufferers ; they can never hope for a continuance of prosperity. This is the time then to make known their sen- timents to our rulers. Meetings should be held in every district throughout the country. Let th 3 free. traders demand that the great prin ciple should be fully carried cut—that the pernicious monopoly of money should share the fate of all other similar enormities—that our whole inter nal trade should not be paralysed because the foreign exchanges happen to be in an unfavourable state. - .et them demand, then, a circulation sufficien for the wants and exigencies of the nation, and in some degree proportioned to our vastly increased resources, and our extended popu lation. Let them be taught that there is no real lack of capital in the country, but that a repre sentative of value is all that is required. It is absurd to say that even the loss of twenty millions sterling could have so serious an effect on a nation pos sessing more than five thousand millions of ac cumulated capital, and an annual income of nearly five hundred millions sterling, if our mone tary laws were not radically wrong and defective. Let them take lessons from the wisdom of experienced men, who long since predicted the very events that have recently taken place as the natural results of the laws that were enacted, and let them be guided by the history of former years, which will show that an extended circulation was always attended with general prosperity, and that the happiness and welfare of the people was the price we paid for every attempt unduly to force back gold, without waiting for the natural order of events. If they are fully impressed with these views, and call upun their re presentatives to support them in St. Stephen's, we may hope for a speedy removal of our distress and difficulties ; if not, they will richly deserve the fate that awaits them, and their future sufferings will be only a fitting expiation for their present folly and carelessness. In the advocacy of sanitary reform, Lord Non. MANDY has been emulated by Lord LINCOLN ; but Lord LINCOLN'S measure was quashed, arid the Bill, propounded by the present Government, and intro duced to the House of Commons by Lord MORPETU, was thrown out last session by tha dissentients in the late Parliament. Discouraging as were these suc cessive disappointments to the aspirants for the im provement of the health and cleanliness of the com munity, the labours of these practical philanthropists have been throughout, and still continue to be, un ceasing. Stupidity may retard but cannot terminate the movement in behalf of the operatives or the des titute. The pests of society arising from neglected sewerage, indifferent drainage, inadequate ventilation insufficiency of water, intermural interment, and want of a properly-regulated system of street cleansing, must ultimately be dissipated by the winds of agita tion. Of that there is every confidence. It is the th, perpe tual source opis nes.teutrileallii i conviction o f th e i r ulterior triumph over the pro m m o o treer3of prominentdirt and advocatesdisease f ra that c has mpr eh sustained s sani tary t ry remarkable innov a t r o e n v e i n r s e t s h . the midst t a s of so many proved source of their inspir a ti on . Li ke the origina l hers of the League, they ha ve maintained theirP on from a conciousness of the rectit u d e of the principle upon which their endeavours have b een based. Sies, sion after session has Mr. MACKINNON laid his pro. position for the prevention or abatement of the smoke nuisance before the Legislature—in a spirit of per gaols), kindred to tit which toimatixl ETERS in making his annual motion for the abolition of the statute laws against the importation of foreign corn. And while the Free-trade Association pos sessed the omen of its final victory in the logical eloquence of RICHARD COBDEN, the Health of Towns Association has from the first preserved the guarantee of its inevitable triumph in the oesthetic intelligence and inexhaustible energies of SOUTHWOOD SMITH. Long before there was a glimmering indication of the legislative acceptance of the doctrines favourable to the emancipation of commerce Mr. HUSKISSON died; but there was already sufficient evidence that the Government was prepared to acknowledge the necessity of sanitary improvements when a humbler labourer, though one equally capable of sacrificing himself for the enforcement of a principle—Dr. LYNCH—perished, and perished through the self-forget fulness inspired by his humanity. If the League, moreover, had its discussions and its newspaper, the Health of Towns Association has had its public meetings and its periodical reports• What has been wanting in rhetoric has abounded in apposite statistics and unanswerable evidence. And, although the pam phlets and lectures of Mr. WALKER, on graveyards, have been somewhat less savoury than the rhymes of EBENEZER ELLIOTT, and somewhat less pretensious than the catechisms of Colonel THOMPSON, they have with equal emphasis enforced a necessity, and re duced an important truth to the comprehension of the multitude. Bearing in recollection the fact that the Metropolis was alone excluded from the benefits of the sanitary measures of the present Administration, it is satisfac tory to know that a society has been recently formed in London for the purpose of watching over the in terests and demonstrating the exigencies of its citizens. The Health of Towns Association has evidently been regarded as the prototype of the Health of London Association ; and, in consonance with the practical character of the proceedings of its predecessor, the preliminary act of the new association has been the circulation of 3,000 lists of queries relative to the sanitary condi tion of the capital, amongst those classes who are better qualified from their position to return useful and accurate rejoinders—clergymen, medical men, solicitors, surveyors, architects, engineers, and parochial officers. A digest of the information thus accumulated has been published in the shape of a report, under the immediate direction of a sub-com mittee, consisting of two physicians, Dr. HECTOR GAVIN, and Dr. ADOLPHUS BARNETT, and two surgeons, Mr. THOMAS ABRAHAM, and Mr. JOHN LIDDLE. In addition to the revelations therein made to the inha bitants of the metropolis as to the deplorable evils which are rife in all directions, generating contagious maladies, and conducing to the moral and physical depression of the labouring population, the inferences deduceable from this report have been illustrated, and its arguments enforced by a lecture delivered by Dr. GAVIN, on the " Unhealthiness of London, and the necessity of Remedial Measures" —a lecture emi nently calculated to advance the intentions of the new association. How far these exertions are requisite in the me tropolis of Great Britain is shewn by the remark able report just mentioned. Disease is there proved to originate in the miserable construction, and still more miserable ventilation, of the dwellings of the in dustrious classes, especially in those localities where there is an accumulation of decomposed rubbish from tallow-boiling, the slaughtering of cattle, and similar occupations. Poisonous vapours are thrown off in Pernicious abundance from ammoniacal works, mer curial manufactories, and the manufactories of corro sive sublimate. Noxious smoke is disgorged from the chimneys connected with the gasometers. Bane ful evaporations are the constant results of the works of sulphuric and oxalic acid. Pestiferous exhalations float up from the rank soil of the grave-yards, im pregnating the atmosphere with poison for the living from the loathsome and decaying ruins of the dead ! Open cesspools add a more disgusting pungency to the air, already deprived of its beneficial qualities, and ren der the city, as a residence, merely a gigantic gateway to the grave. There is no exaggeration in so speaking. Is it, we would ask any reasonable man, is it possible that there can be exaggeration in so speaking, when we remember that this execrable atmosphere is con veyed, at every respiration, into 170,000,000 of cells in the lungs of each human being, and, through those cells affects a surface tantamount to thirty times that of the human body ? Can there be a chance, by the most shadowy possibility, of exaggeration in so speak ing, when the animal tissues are brought into con stant communication with such destructive agencies ? As well might we have expected the unfortunate victims to have survived a night's incarceration in the black-hole at Calcutta! As well might we attempt to invigorate a debilitated constitution by in haling the odours of bilge-water ! As well might we look for the preservation of the life of a frog or a rabbit, by placing it under the bell of an air-pump ! How great is the need for some legislative interference in London for the removal of these almost innumerable abominations was evi denced by an investigation which took place, on Mon day morning, at Enon Chapel, Clement's-lane, Strand. The facts collected by that inquiry almost defy credi bility, they betray such a hideous perversion of sentiment and are so exquisitely derogatory to a land of boasted civilization. Under the chapel, in a cellar measuring 59ft. by 29ft., and scarcely sft. in height, were huddled together mutilated corpses and broken coffins—denoting the systematic violation of the sanctity of the tomb. At one extremity were dis covered some seventy or eighty coffins—empty, their tenants " having been made away with !" In another direction were half-decayed carcases ; in another a deep trench, in the excavation of which the remains of departed men and women were "packed " like vermin ; in another was a blind window, said to have been originally an aperture through which bodies were shot into a different den to be chopped up piecemeal to make way for additional remains ! Good GoD ! and all this i 3 in a Christian country, is hard by our very thresholds, is tainting the air we breathe, is polluting the vicinity of our homes, is calling down upon us the vengeance of contagion and immorality ! Good GOD ! and these things happen daily in the capital of an empire in which that religion is predominant which invests the grave of man with associations so holy, so august, so beau tiful ? Have we eyes? Have we hearts? Have we imaginations ? Have we Faith in Time, or Hope in Eternity, or Charity towards our fellow-men and co-religionists ? Are the relics of mortality less precious to us than to the Paynim or the Infidel ? Do the dogmas which tell us we are immortal teach us to profane the majesty of dissolution, and to ravish from the ruins of the departed the last transient glimpses of their loveliness ? Surely, surely these revelations of every-day life are more terrible than the legends of the ghouls, or than the ravings of a madman! The Alba of Florence states from private corre spondence, that warlike preparations are in progress at Modena. Brescello is in a complete state of defence. Three cannons have been sent to Reggio, and accom modations are preparing for a numerous body of Austrian troops, who appear to be shortly expected there. Letters from Naples state that the Neapolitan po lice having opened the dispatches of the British Con sul at Messina, the latter, after vainly demanding satisfaction from the authorities, had apprised the British Admiral at Malta of that violation of his cor respondence. It is said that two French ships of the line are sta tioned in the Gulf of Spezzia, two others at Genoa, and a fifth at Porto Pernik). The Gazette de la Suisse C'atholique publishes the following resolution, come to by the authorities of Lucerne, on the subject of the reception to be given to the commissioners from the Diet : "Being officially informed of a decision come to by the Diet, by a majority of twelve votes and one half vote, in virtue of which, federal representatives are sent to the cantons of Lucerne, Uri, Un ter walden, Schwitz, Lug, Friburg, and the Valais, with a mission to dissolve the pro. tective alliance, and to distribute in the said cantons a proclamation by the Diet, in which it is ad vanced that, in the present struggle, neither liberty, independence, nor religion, are in question, but that nothing more is required than the execution of a decree legally issued by the Diet ;—Considering, that Lucerne and its allies have not acknow l_eds.ed the abov e - men ti one d d ecree o f th e 20th J u l y last , that the mission of these representatives is a con _ sequece of this decree i that fact* gre lit ygrigice with what..,l4 announced in the proclamation ; end that the deputation to the Diet has received full power f to act in the name of Lucerne ; hut it is, nevertheless, proper that a suitable reception should be given to the I representatives, the Council resolves that—" The federal representatives shall be received in the name 1 of the Government by the Avoyer. He shall declare to them that the Grand Council has given to the de putation of the Diet power to treat upon federal questions ; that, consequently, it cannot either enter into discussion with the Council of State, or convoke the Grand Council, or permit the proclamation of the Diet to be published." This decree adds, that the citizens of the canton who may have distributed the proclamation shall be arrested and tried on a criminal prosecution. It at the same time declares that all the honours shall be paid to the federal representatives ( that a guard of honour and an orderly officer shall be appointed to attend them. It was known at Berne in the evening of the 23d, that at Lucerne and Friburg the federal representatives had been received in conformity with this programme. There is reason to believe that the same will be done in all the cantons of the Solider- Lund, except Zug. Letters from Berne of the 24th state that the federal representatives had completely failed in their mission to the cantons of the League. Some dis turbances had occurred in the canton of St. Gall, which were supposed to have been fomented by Lucerne. They were, however, speedily suppressed by the energy of the authorities and the federal co-operation of Friburg, which sent two battalions into the disturbed districts. The Diet held an extra ordinary sitting on the 24th, at which the Deputies of the Sonderbund refused to assist. The repre sentatives of the Grisons, Ticino, and Geneva, who had withheld giving their opinion relative to the expediency of placing the troops under, the command of a federal chief, adhered to the proposition; after which the assembly resolved itself into a secret com mittee. From what had transpired of the delibera tion it appears that the Diet ordered an immediate levy of troops in the cantons which did not belong to the Sonderbund. The Federal Council of War was, moreover, instructed to form an army of 50,000 men ; the Vorort was empowered to raise the funds necessary for the maintenance of that force, and the Commander-in-Chief, General DUFOUR, was directed to assume the immediate command of the troops, to exert himself to restore order and legality wherever they had been disturbed, and to cause the decrees of the Government and the independence of the con federation to be respected. The Commander-in-Chief, in organizing the troops, was recommended to ap point chiefs enjoying their confidence, and, if a suffi cient number was not to be found in the federal staff, to choose them amongst the cantonal officers. He was, moreover, invited to suggest to the Diet what ever measures he considered indispensable for the fulfilment of the mission confided to him. General DUFOUR had accordingly divided the federal army into five divisions, under the command of the federal Colonels DONATZ, of Grisons, RILLIETT CONSTANT, of Geneva, Gmun, of St. Gall, ZIEGLER, of Zurich, and BORNKHARDT, of Basle. Most of these officers formerly served in the French army. The Federal Colonel Luvizi, of Ticino, had been named com mander of a detached corps in Italian Switzerland, and Colonel ZIMMERLI, Adjutant-General of the army. The Diet was to hold another sitting on the 25th, when the federal representatives, who had slept the night before at Huttwyl, were expected to arrive at Berne. Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. The jobbing in the conversion of the arrears due to the Royal Household into Three per Cent.,Stock has been so barefaced, that the Government has been obliged to order an inquiry into the matter ; and CHRISTINA. and the others who were to have bene fited by it are so afraid to face the inquiry, that they have returned their " titulos," and are endeavouring to come to some other arrangement. The Clamor reckons at 1,700,000,000 reals de vellon, the fortune that MARIA CHRISTINA has extracted from Spain, and its statement is very possibly not overrated. The same journal states—" It is said that Don FERNANDO MUNOZ will probably be appointed Minis ter of War. We rejoice at it, for to tell the truth, there are few swords in Spain equal to that of the Duke DE RIANZARES. Its hilt alone is worth a large sum." SERRANO was to return to Madrid on the 23d, and to set out immediately afterwards for France. The report of the arrest of the singer MIRALLE, and of his banishment to V alencia, is confirmed. The Herald() takes infinite pains to show that neither the Court nor the Government bad anything to do with the arrest. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 22.—Three per Cents., 261 money, 27 at 50 days; Five per Cents., 16i paper ; Debt, without interest, 5 money, Si piper; Cou pons, 13 paper. We have received the Paris papers of Wednes day. There was a grand reform banquet held at Char tres on Sunday last, at which 500 persons were present. Amongst them were several members of the General Council, and more than forty mayors, municipal councillors, the Lieutenant -Colonel of the National Guard of Chartres, and a number of officers, together with a multitude of wealthy farmers, and almost all the millers of the valley of the Eure. There were likewise deputies from Chateaudun, Dreux, and Nogent-le-Rotrou. ISAMBERT, Coun sellor at the Court of Cassation, and former deputy for Chateaudun and Chartres, presided. At the conclusion of the dinner, M.:BARTBELEMY proposed the toast of "Electoral and Parliamentary Re form." Several speeches were made by N. LAM BERT, DI. Vavis, deputy of the Seine ; IBS. LE.. FEVRE, a barrister; N. PAGUERRE, secretary to the central committee of the electors of the Seine; Glancur :ti'Eu re - e t-L otre; odfgtehnetleman of 92 y ears o f age , H ENNEQUIN , editor of the Democrati c Pacifique; N. a S n E d m i‘ ,E I Ct . U R E E , y e , d a i n tor ol who proposed a toast to the Italian National Guard. One of the speakers, in proposing a toast, stat e d that the object of the Reformers was to repair th e omissions of July, 1830. Thi s sent i ment was re ceived with. loud applause. Th e h ea l t h o f t h e K ING was not drunk. The Journal des Debuts gives the following account of the arrangement of the differences which had arisen between Mr. PEEL and the authorities of Switzerland. It says— " Mr. Peel vainly waited during the evening of the 21st for the reparation which he had demanded. On the 22d M. Funck waited on him in plain clothes, to offer reparation. But as he only presented himself in the name and as the representative of the canton of Berne, Mr. Peel refused to receive him in that quality. He afterwards told him personally that he could not accept the excuses which he expected, unless they were made by the President or Vice-President of the Vorort, or at least by two of its members. A little while after a letter of apology was remitted to him in the name of the Vorort; but Mr. Peel declared that it was not sufficient, though he kept it. At length M. Funck, Vice-President of the Vorort, presented himself in official costume, and was ad mitted to Mr. Peel, followed by his huissier. Air. Peel received him in uniform, having the Secretary of the Legation by his side. M. Funck told him that he deplored the accident of which he had to complain, and that he begged of him to accept the excuses of the Vorort." The Dam's also publishes the following, dated the 24th, which it has received by e xtraordinary ex press : " bl. Dufour has just sent in his resignation, as General of the Federal army. I do not know the , motive of this sudden resolution. But it is generally supposed that he had accepted the post to obey what he perhaps considered as a military duty, id that, on reflection, h e d ec li ne d t o i nc ur the responsibility and direction of a war of which he politically dis approves." The Moniteur Parisien announces the occurrence of several cases of hydrophobia in Paris. M. DE LAMARTINE has addressed a long letter to the Bien J'ublique of Macon, on the subject of the foreign policy of the Government. It is, however, merely a reproduction of the speeches which the Hon. Deputy was in the habit of delivering on the same subject in the Chamber of Deputies during the last session.

Sales, 3,000 bales, half of which were for exporta tion.—Railway shrews were heavy also, although there were some good buying orders in the market. The accounts received to-day from the United States do not bring the exchange at so high a point as was expected, but the nest's is favourable as regards the posi tion of the mercantile: community, the probable yield of the cotton crop, and, the state of the money market. Upon these points we have the following information iu the New York Herald : — " Quotations for nearly every stock in the list have fallen off several per cent. Stocks of tho General Go vernment, of interest stud non-interest-paying States, cities, banks, and railroads, have depreciated together, and the market is excee Jingly heavy. We can find no cause for this state o f things in the condition of the money market; for capital seeking employment is abun dant enough, and the :rate of interest rules very low. There is not, therefore, any foundation for the depreci ation in that particular. It is to be found in the fact, that the minds of the capitalists are very much unset tled relative to the complexion of external matters. Our internal affairs are in a very sound and pros perous condition, but we cannot say as much of our foreign relations, both political and commercial. The doubt and uncertainty vshich rest upon our commercial relations with Great Britain and Europe generally, in consequence of the financial difficulties which have caused so many failures in that psrt of the world, have created a great deal of distrust ; tending to the destruc tion of public confidence, and compelling a partial sus pension of operations, until something more definite is known relative to the position of parties on the other side. It is this that has had such an influence upon prices of stocks in thi s market more than the character of our advises from the seat of war. The feet that hos tilities exist in the interior of Mexico; that the armies of the United States a ad Mexico are at war with each other, thousands of miles away, and in a manner not effecting in the least the co'samercial movements in this country, have actually vcey little influence upon the Stock Market, or upon the operations of any one engaged in legitimate business. As the prospect increases relative to the con tinuance of the war, and as reports may reach us from time to time of any trifling reverse the American army may meet with, we expect useless panics and moderate depressions in the Stock Market ; but that they will interfere with the operations of trade generally, we have not the remotest idea. We might carry on this war for years without deranging our commercial affairs to any alarming extent ; and as for the loans which Govern ment may be compelled to make from time to time, for the purpose of prosecuting the war, we do not look upon them as very great evils, but, on the contrary, are dis posed to consider them just the reverse." There have been further injurious reports affecting credit, and probably we may have some more definite information, for our Third Edition. We find that there is still an uneasy feeling in the City with respect to monetary matters, and the prospect of the meeting of Parliament does not improve things, be cause of the presumption that affairs must be very bad to occasion such a necessity. This is strange reasoning, but it suits the Stock Exchange, and as the Bank of England is not doing its duty, and providing liberally for the wants of sol vent parties by an extra issue of notes, being tenacious in the extreme of trenching, even by autho rity, upon Peel's Bill, the full influence of the relaxa tion is not felt. Still, in commercial walks, matters are somewhat better than they have been. The Funds have been very depressed, and are fluctuating, though tending downwards still. Consols have ranged from 811 to 81/ for Money, and from 81/ to 811 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 18s. to 245. discount, and India Bonds 28s. to 355. discount. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been 81i to 814. Bank Stock is at 183 to 1841. There is very little doing in the Foreign Market. Mexican Stock has been 161 to 1:4. Spanish Three per Cents. are 27. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 524 to 53. Railway Shares have been very much depressed, and there appears to be au indisposition to deal.

On the whole, a fair average qu ant i ty o f E ngl i sh Wheat has been received up to our market since Mon day, and the show of samples of that grain to-day was moderate. The attendance of buyers being on the in crease, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home pro duce was very firm, and Monday's currencies were fully supported in every instance. There was a slight im provement in the sale for foreign Wheat, but we can notice no actual advance in the quotations. Superfine malting Barley was quite as dear, but grinding and dis tilling sorts were the turn lower. For all kinds of malt we have to report a very dull inquiry, at barely sta- tionary prices, Th e b est qual i t i es of Oats, both English and foreign, were qu i te as dear, b ut the inferior sorts were much negketed. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, commanded very li t tl e attention. ARRIVALS. Wheat. I Barley. English Irish... 640 Foreign ...... 28,650 Oats.

There were in the market. 10 Oxen from Spain ; 542 Beasts, 2,610 Sheep, 136 Calves, and 20 Pigs from Holland and Germany, in very middling condition. Owing to the largo arrivals from. abroad, the numbers of Sheep were rather extensive. Prime old Downs, which were very scarce, mostly pro duced full currencies ; but the value of all other kinds had a downward tendency. Calves, though in good supply, moved off steadily at late rates. Pigs were a slow sale, at our quotations. Milch Cows were quoted at from 151 to 181 each, including their small Calf. Per Sibs. to sink the offal. s. d. to s. d.I s. d. to s. d.

The best qualities of New Hops are in moderate re quest ; but the middling and inferior kinds are still much neglected, and sales have been concluded on easier terms. The prices now realised are entailing very great losses to the growers ; but when they will improve it is impossible to say, the pressure for money rendering speculation wholly out of the question. There is still an extensive supply of Yearlings and Old flops on offer at very low figures ; but we hear of no transactions in them.

The following sentences were passed this morning : Mary Ann Johnson, for uttering counterfeit coin, to seven years' transportation. His Lordship, in passing the sentence, said, as she was an old offender, it was necessary to visit her repeated course of con• duct in guilt with a severe punishment. Edward Jones, described as a sailor, and found guilty of rape upon Ann Pipe, to two years' impri' sonment and hard labour. His Lordship said then were mitigating circumstances in this case. John Ridley, found guilty of stealing an iron weight and a bag, the property of his master, Daniel Cloves and another, to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner, on leaving the dock, thanked his Lordship in an impudent manner for his sentence. NEGLECT OF A BANKRUPT TO ATTEND ma FINAL EXADIINATION.—George Hilton, a grocer, aged 28, was indicted for felony, for not attending to be ex amined at the Court of Bankruptcy, he having been adjudged a bankrupt. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin attended for the pro secution ; and the prisoner's case was conducted by Mr. Ballantyne and Mr. Parry. Mr. Cr.Auxsoil opened the case for the prosecution. He said that a fiat of bankruptcy was issued against the prisoner on the Bth of March last, and the neces sary notices were inserted in the Gazette on the 16th. He then surrendered to the Court of Bankruptcy on the 224 of March, underwent an examination on the 25th, and his final examination was appointed for the 27th April, on which day, however, he did not appear at the court. On inquiries being made by the soli citor to the fiat, it was found that he had absconded to France, and that be was in the habit of occasionally making trips from the French coast to England. An officer was therefore sent to watch his movements, and he was taken into custody on the English coast a short time previous to the present indictment being laid against him. The Learned Counsel then sub mitted that the proper notices having been given to the prisoner under the 32d section of the Bankruptcy Act, he was bound to attend to undergo his final examination, and that his neglect to do so amounted to a charge of felony. James Johnson, clerk in the Bankruptcy Court, produced the fiat, dated the Bth of March, and also the notice in the Gazette, dated the 16th of March, and deposed to the prisoner's non-attendance on the 27th of April, for the purpose of undergoing his final examination. Edmund Miller, officer in the Bankruptcy Court, proved the service of the necessary summonses upon the prisoner. Mr. BALLANTYNE and Mr. PARRY both addressed the Court on his behalf, and contended that having submitted to a first examination he had complied with the Act of Parliament as far as any penal consequences were concerned. Further arguments having been adduced by the counsel on both sides, _ The CHIEF BARON, in summing up, said he con ceived the offence with which the prisoner was charged to be one of the least criminal acts which a man could commit, but he also conceived it to be one of great iniquity and criminality. On the present occasion he would recommend the jury to find a special verdict. It appeared to him that all the alle gations in the third and fifth counts were made out, except the charge that the matters done by the prisoner were done with intent to defraud his creditors, for no evidence had been given to show that he had committed any such fraud. Mr. BALLANTYNE submitted to his Lordship that the case should be reserved for the final decision of the fifteen judges. The CHIEF BARON said there was great inconve• nience in bringing all the judges together to hear, perhaps for a whole day, the arguments on any par ticular point of law. No doubt, where the life and liberty of a subject was concerned, it was the duty of the judges to give their solemn and serious attention to hear arguments at length upon a point of law, but it was his duty to take care that the public time was not wasted in the consideration of matters with respect to which there was no doubt. He could not, there fore, by any means pledge himself to have the case brought before all the judges. He expressed a wish, however, that there was some other mode of disposing of points of this kind. The third count alleged that the prisoner had been adjudicated a bankrupt ; that he did not appear on the day allowed him to finish his examination after notice thereof in writing had been left at his house; and that he intended to defraud his creditors by n ot so attending. The sixth count was similar to the third, and it appeared to him that these counts had been clearly made out, except that part charging the prisoner with the intention to defraud. His Lordship then concluded by recommending the jury to find a special verdict to that effect. A special verdict was then returned, and the pri' soner, under a motion in arrest of judgment, will be brought up next term to receive the sentence of the Court at Westminster. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Westminster.) The formality of holding a session at the Guildhall, Westminster, took place this morning, when thirty six grand jurors were in attendance, besides a large body of petty jurors. The grand jury having been sworn, retired, and in about eight minutes returned into court, and informed the Judge that there was not one indictment to be laid before them. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE— Well, gentlemen, you have discharged your duty, you may go now, and thank you, in the name of the county, for your at tendance.—(A laugh.) The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said the whole of the trai. verse jurors might leave the court, with the exce p. tion of twelve, w h o wou ld b e requ i re d f or the bear i ng of two cases, which remained over from yesterday s sittings at Clerkenwell. 57% 7% 41/2 54 1 4 42 28% 43 7% 1014 &y 4 6%2 19% 2 1 4 1% 26 11 A 14 , j s i 102 2)6 34 1 ,i 34 ..... 5i 1%
