We regard with no small degree of astonishment the opposition raised on Friday evening to the propo sition of Sir JOHN PANINGTON, that orders of the day should have precedence over motions until the Christ mas vacation. Supposing the present was the com mencement of an ordinary.session, the objections made to the suggestion of the lion. Baronet might be con sidered as reasonable ; but, remembering that Parlia ment has been prematurely called together, in conse quence of the embarrassed state of tte country, it d oes appear to us something extraordinary that the motion of Sir JOHN FAX should be declared to have an unconstitutional tendency. The effect of this mo tion would be simply—to afford an opportunity to the Government during an interval of five or six weeks to carry their schemes into operation, by giving orders of the day precedence over motions on Tuesa-iys and Thursdays. Yet the bare prop osition of sisch a rational arrangement is scouted as an it Sringement upon the Constitution. In supp ort of this extravagant view, Mr. ilm-raas observed, that "In the House of Commons; Ministers were only known as Members of Parliament ;" but he omitted to remark, at the same time, Vint Ministers were responsible, not merely to that House but to the entire Legislature, and the country at large, for the maintenance of public order, and the amelioration of the national miseries. It is, moreover, because the miseries of the people are just now of s peculiar multiplicity that the Imperial Par liament has been called together before the customary period for the purpose of enabling the Administration to lay bef ,re the two Houses the different plans by 'which her MAJESTY'S advisers propose to afford as sistance to the empire in its necessities. Ii it not, then, reasoFnable that Sir JOHN PAKINGTON should demand of the popular representatives such a slight co-operation with the Cabinet in its present accession of embarrassments as would be implied by giving precedence to orders of the day over motions on all Tuesdays anti Thursdays until the Christmas ho lidays? That come a preference should mci m be accorded to the matured practical schemes of the Government, over the idle and t desultory . motions of Hon. Mem bers, we butcannotthath lnk m os t ra ti ona l. It i s pre posterous t o arg ue such a preference would lse an unconstitutional concessio n to the Ministry, be cause Min isters are onlyin the House as Members of Parliament, recognisedr lotecause all Members of Parliament are considered equal right to bring forward their propositions. p P"ses3 an must he this argumen.t can be regarded °a:sitli."s* Before sh own that all Members of Parliament are it swerstble to the people for the condition o a f ß re t e b e a e o l l i U l ke n i a t n ed . Kingdoms and their dependencies. that the responsibilities of office are remark able- able- -that those responsibilities are so peculiarly i k n - - craasvd at this moment, that Parliament has been sun I moned to meet long before the usual period o f ass snbling, and that the motion of Sir JOHN PAVINGTO3I was simply for affording the proposals of tl ie C,ibinet precedence over the idle crotchets of those MeLnbers who are not individually answerable for the gov eminent of the country, and that prece dence to be restricted to some ten or twelve days n iilY — -we cannot but view wit h astonishment the course pursued towards the Hon. Baronet by Mr. 13.sam z _ an a d Mr : Hoag. One would imagine , from the lau that 4648111.0 t those Honourable Representatives , RAKINGTON Was advocating the con • ference upon Lord JouN RUSSELL of a temporary dictatorship. "It was hardly possible to conceive a more extraordinary proposition," said Mr. BANKES, " than one which, at the commencement of the ses sion, would throw the whole business of Parliament into the hands of the Government." What ! does Mr. BAN/ES seriously call the granting of a prece dence to orders of the day on all Tuesdays and Thursdays until Christmas the concentration of the whole business of Parliament in the hands of the Government ? The idea is ridiculous. Again, listen to Mr. Hums :—"A more unconstitutional proposition than one which would leave Ministers at liberty to introduce only what measures they might please to bring forward, and tie up the hands of every other Member of the House, was never broached in Parliament." As if Members of the Lower House only had hands on Tuesdays or Thursdays, or as if the Tuesdays and Thursdays between this and Christmas constituted the whole of a Par liamentary session I Why, if we were to regard the proposition made on Friday evening solely through the observations of Messrs. B,►stxEs and Hums, we should consider Sir JOHN PA&INGTON as guilty of some high and enormous misdemeanour. Instead of which it is most certain that the motion of that Hon. Baronet originated in his solicitude to for • ward the interests of the community by diminishing the obstructions which already impedes the movements of the supreme Government. Under the existing arrangement, however, the most silly schemes of the least enlightened representatives will be allowed the same opportunity as the deliberate policy of our most distinguished statesmen. The trial of HAUSMAN, the engineer of the Cricket steamer at the time of the melancholy accident of the 27th of August last, took place on Friday, and has terminated in his conviction on a charge of man slaughter. The jury accompanied their verdict by a recommendation to the merciful consideration of the Court for the following reasons, viz. :—That the com pany to whom the boat belonged had net given him proper instructions, and had not employed properly qualified persons to act as engineers. Now we con fess we do not quite understand the reasons for this addendum, nor can we concur in its propriety. The only grounds on which Haismax could be convicted were, either that he had taken upon himself duties which he was incompetent to discharge, and that the explosion had occurred in consequence of his igno rance, or that, being duly qualified, he had not exhi bited sufficient care and attention, and that it had been the result of his negligence. Had it arisen from the defective quality of the machinery, or anything not immediately under his control, or within the sphere of his duties, he should have been acquitted of the charge. The jury, by their recommendation, proved that in their opinion the accident was ascribable to the former cause—that it was owing to his ignorance and not to his negligence. Now, with respect to his want of qualification, we cannot find one particle of evidence to warrant that assumption ; indeed it is in direCt opposition to the testimony which was brought forward in the inquiry which took place before the Coroner. It then appeared, that previously to his being taken into the employment of the pro prietors of the halfpenny boats, he had considerable experience in other steam-boats, and that immedi ately before his engagement by Mr. SMITH, he had worked for the Citizen Steam-boat Company, and that he bore an excellent character as a competent and careful man. His wages, too, were 2/. ss. per week, and not 305., as erroneously stated (no doubt under a mistake) by the talented advocate who so ably defended the prisoner : this we believe fully equal to the wages usually paid to persons in that station, Mr. SMITH having sworn at the inquest that the men engaged " were superior men, paid from 15 to 20 per cent. higher than any on the river." We are equally at a loss to discover what reasons there were to suppose that no proper instructions were given for his guidance ; indeed there was a total absence of any evidence on the subject. The proprie tors or managers of the company might have been examined on the point if it was thought desira ble or necessary, but such was not the case. Before the Coroner it appeared that Mr. SMITH was in the daily habit of travelling by the boats, and per sonally superintending the mode in which they were managed. He himself, on oath, said, " I have been constantly on board, hoping by my presence to keep parties steadily to their duty." This fact was quite at variance with the supposition "that no proper in structions had been given ;" indeed, on the only point in which any evidence whatsoever respecting " in structions " was before either jury, it was proved that MEECHAM, the superintending engineer and foreman to Mr. JOYCE, had reprobated in the strongest manner the tying down of the valves, and that CLARKE, when interrogated on the subject by Mr. SMITH had positively denied that any such thing had taken place, indignantly asking if it was thought that" He was mad?" with which denial Mr. SMITH, who to use his own language, " Never conceived that such a thing could have been done," was perfectly satisfied. We are quite aware that these points were not brought before the jury at the Central Criminal Court, and that they were bound to return their verdict solely on the evidence adduced before them, but they show that the jury were in error in forming the conclu sions at which they guessed, and also the impropriety of casting a severe censure, and thereby inflicting a serious injury, upon parties who were not before them, and who had no opportunity of being heard in their own defence, or of establishing by positive proof the utter groundlessness of the charge—an error, against which the Learned Chief Justice, in his lucid address, emphatically warned them when he said, that "of the conduct of any other parties who were not there to defend themselves nothing ought to be said ;" and yet, in direct opposition to that prudent caution, and with the knowledge that it was the duty of the talented advocate who appeared on behalf of the pri soner to exonerate him, if possible, by shifting the blame to others, to ascribe the accident to the defects of the machinery or to any other cause for which his client was not responsible, the gentlemen of the jury travelled out of their course to throw unmerited odium upon the proprietors who had already sus tained a heavy loss. It was evident that the Learned Judge did not agree with them therein, for, in passing the sentence of two months' imprisonment, without hard labour, he told the prisoner " there could be no doubt that although he had not wilfully intended to commit the mischief, yet that by his neglecting to turn off the steam on arriving at the end of his journey, he had caused the death of the young man. This at least was conclusive, that Lord DENMAN did not ascribe the melancholy event either to ignorance or the want of proper in structions, but to the neglect of the plain and simple rule of letting the steam blow off when the engine was not working. Let it not fora moment be supposed that we are anxious to screen Mr. SMITH, or the other proprie tors, from the consequences of any misconduct that can fairly be charged against them. They have already sustained a heavy pecuniary loss. They are civilly reponsible for any damages that may have been incurred by any person, either through their default or that of any of their servants. The liabi lities are sufficiently onerous -without any undue prejudice being excited. No persons can be more alive than ourselves to the necessity of enforcing every possible precaution where the safety of any human beings are at stake, or who would more stringently enforce the utmost care in the management of a dangerous agent placed under the control of any person or persons. Let those who neglect the duties they assume be made in every re spect amenable to the law. But there is a danger which must not be lost sight of in a commercial country, and to which the casting of unmerited re proach on persons like Mr. SMITH may lead—viz., the staying the progress of improvement, and pre venting useful inventions from being brought for ward, by deterring men of wealth and respecta bility from em b arking their capital therein. HT Deeply as the loss o f such a man as WILL must be deplor e d, i t would have beeniAam s ti l.7lsKissoN greater calamity to the nation if his melancholy P revented the constructi on o f any further rail way, had and compelled the public to remain contented 1 w ith the former means of t rans i t, and 1 them of the rapidity, c h eapness deprived numerous accidents which h ave and (despite the f rom the best managed li nes time to time occurr ed on even f we will say,) the safety of being conveyed by locomo tives. We have already in the beginning of the pre sent month pointed out the benefits which the inha bitants of the metropolis have derived from Mr. SMITH'S speculation and enterprise not only in affording them an economical and speedy mode of conveyance, but in leading to a general reduction of the fares both of omnibuses and steam-boats--and these ameliorations should not be forgotten by persons re flecting on the fatal explosion on board the " Cricket steamer." Letters from Bale of the 25th announce the uncon• ditional surrender of Lucerne, after the defeat of the troops of the Sonderbund in several severe actions. The President of the Vorort, on the 24th, received the following dispatch from General DUFOUR, dated Head. quarters, Sins (a league distant from Lucerne), Nov. 23d : " The Federal troops, after an obstinate engage ment, have succeeded in carrying the principal posi tion of the enemy at the bridge of Gislikon. The 4th division and the artillery of reserve distinguished themselves in this attack. A battery of Soleure manfully held its ground, notwithstanding the dis advantages of the position it was obliged to assume, in order to batter the fortifications of Gislikon. Two pieces were dismounted by our artillery. The bridge was carried at four o'clock P.M. and at night our troops established their camp in advance of Roth, on the side of Lucerne, and on an elevated point of the Rothenberg. " I have received no reports from the commaniers of the other divisions. I was, however, ♦erbally informed that the 6th division, which was to have ()prated against Aleyf rs Capell, on the other side of the Rothenberg, had gained a position contiguous to Lucerne. If this be the case, the attack has followed the course I anticipated. " We have a great number of wounded, but com paratively few killed. lam not able to forward you the return of our casualties. " A few houses were unfortunately burned, either by the shells or in revenge. The Lucerne troops are said to have committed these acts of outrage." The Swiss Messenger, of the 24th instant, an nounces that the troops of the Sonderbund having been beaten on the preceding day had dispersed. Those of the primitive cantons had returned home. In the afternoon a deputation from Lucerne arrived at General Duromes head-quarters at Sins, and demanded to capitulate. General Duroua replied that it was too late, and demanded an unconditional surrender, which was agreed to ; and the Federal troops immediately afterwards took possession of Lucerne. A letter, dated Zoffingen, of Wednesday night, says— " I have this moment received the news that this morning, at ten o'clock, Lucerne surrendered, and that its garrison was disarmed. The Federal troops are at this moment in the town, Seigvart Muller has escaped. Amman and Salis have been taken." Some idea of the obstinaey of the contest may be formed from the statements contained in the follow ing extfact from a letter, dated Aarau, Nov. 24, 7 P.M. " I have seen Mr. -, who has just returned from the head-quarters of General Dufour, at Sins, carrying the news to Mr. Peel, at Berne, that the Federal army, after an obstinate resistance, had taken near the bridge of Gislikon, at the point of the bayonet, the height called Rothenberg, which was fortified with several batteries of cannon, which the Lucernese were obliged to leave in the hands of the troops. On both sides the contest was conducted in a manner worthy► of the old reputation of the Swiss nation. In the convent of Muri there are eighty wounded and twenty killed of the Federal force." It was rumoured at Bale that Schwyts had surren dered to the Federal troops. Lord MINTO had two long interviews with the POPE on the 11th and the 12th instant. The eele brated Tribune CICEZONACCIIIO had paid his Lord ship a long visit. King CIABLES ALIaRT has, at the request of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, undertaken the arrange ment of the affairs of Fivvizaano. His MAJESTY has signified to the Duke of MODENA. that he will not allow foreign troops to interfere in the matter. Madrid papers of the 20th and 22d have arrived. Senor SALAMANCA appeared in the Chamber of Deputies on the ROth, and supported the motion for the production of the papers relating to his conduct as Minister, which he contended had been perfectly honourable and straightforward in every respect, and the responsibility of which he accepted. His speech is admitted, even by his bitterest opponents, to have been an exceed ingly able one. The discussion on the Address was expected to commence on the 24th. General SERRANO has arrived at Grenada, and assumed the government of the province. General Pant has arrived at Cadiz, from whence he embarks for Puerto Rico. General MANUEL DB LA CONCHA has refused the embassy to Paris. It is said that the draft of the Address, as drawn up by the Committee, contains the following passage censuring the policy of the late Ministry : " The congress of deputies, in placing on this solemn occasion the reverential expression of its desires and sentiments at the foot of your Majesty's throne, can not refrain from congratulating itself with your Ma jesty and the whole nation on the fortunate direction, which since the accession of the present Cabinet, the management of public affairs has taken. Thanks to the lofty foresight and the maternal solicitude of your Majesty, a timely atop was put to the evils arising from that fatal policy which would have made a regular system of trampling under foot all prin ciple." The murder of s servant maid in the palace of Queen CHRISTINA, an account of which will be found in another column, was the subject of every conver sation. MADRID BOLeA, Nov. 22.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26 13-16ths at 50 days ; the Five per Cents., at 15i, the Debt without Interest, at 41 for paper ; and the Coupons at, 14. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. Those of Friday are principally filled with com ments and prophecies relating to Swiss affairs. Their interest, however, is considerably lessened by an announcement in the papers of Saturday, that the Government on Friday night had received a tele graphic dispatch from the Prefect of Besangon, an nouncing that on the 24th the Federal troops made a general attack upon the positions defending Lucerne, carried them after an obstinate engagement, and that the city afterwards surrendered unconditionally to General Durouz. The following remarks in the Constitutionnel seem to hare been written in anticipation of this •vent : " Events in Switzerland continue their march. Out of the seven cantons, two, Friburg and Zug, have made their submission, almost without a blow—so little popular at this moment is the cause of the Jesuits and absolutism. Lucerne is now attacked on all sides, and the Sonderbund may completely dissolve itself be fore the Conference at London is assembled. Certain it is that every day that passes by, every piece of news that is published, necessarily makes a change in the character and cbject of this Congress, which does notyet exist. The first and true protocols are the bulletins of General Dufour, whatever may be the result. M. Guisot has taken ample measures for its being truly averred in Europe that he is the abettor of counter revolution. He began by violating the rights of nations towards the Helvetic Confederation, by sur reptitiously sending arms and ammunition to the revolted party, and by openly declaring his penchant, his preference, his sympathy, for the insurrection. Every day he causes to be insulted the Government elected by an immense majority of the cantons. He hoped that civil war, fomented and sustained by him, would long steep Switzerland in blood, sparing for this 'noble purpose neither muskets nor cannon. He would then have cried aloud in the name of humanity, that a European intervention was indispensable. Friburg having yielded without a battle, M. Guizot has shown his spite by withdrawing his ambassadors, who, moreover, was surprised, flagrance delicto, in committing the offence of intervention. In truth, Austria herself has shown an exemplary reserve and moderation towards Switzerland in comparison to. M. Guisot What an admirable mediator he is 1" The Ministerial journals are in a perfect paroxysm of fury with the Liberal Government of Friburg for expelling the Jesuits. How comes it, since the Jesuits are such peaceful, virtuous, and worthy per sonages, that M. GUIZOT does not, as Minister of France, venture to give them refuge in that country, and at the same time propose to the Chambers to re peal the laws at present existing against them ? To be, Consistent he should do this, unless, indeed, hi contends that those who are too bad for France are quit e goo d enough for Switzerland. It would appear as i f M. GUIZOT bad quite given himself up to b e th e mere instrument of the parti THE SUN, LONDON, !ONDAY jEtVENING, NOVEMBER 29. 1847. pretrt. The two French frigates, wrecked in Corea, were hen on a missionary expedition, with orders to propapte religion at the cannon's mouth, after the fashioi adopted by the worthy Bishop of COCHIN The Constitationnel says— " Ve have received some letters speaking of the loss:o' the Gloire and the Victorieuse on the coast of the Corea. Every one agrees in remarking that these two vessels were taken into these dangerous latituces to protect the Corean Catholics, who are victims of a persecution. It is even said that there was of board a missionary destined for the Corea. Alreany in the last session just representations were made against the religious propagandism in which the Ministry employs our vessels on the station of China. It was asserted with great justice that we had nc business to interfere in the religious quarrels which exist between the Sovereign of the Corea and i a part of his subjects. Still less have we a right to in troduce missionaries into this country in opposition to its ruler. It is an act of inhumanity, for we expose them tc tortures and death ; it is an infringement on the independence of a Sovereign of whom we have all an interest to make a friend. Undoubtedly the in terests cf the Catholic religion are exceedingly re spectabb, and they merit all our sympathy ; but we believe ..hat M. Guizot would do better to give sup port to the Maronites, whom he is bound to protect, than to get into quarrels at the other end of the world for Coreans, who are nothing to us. It seems to us, resides, that the Chinese station might be turned b account in favouring our national interests and creating openings for our commerce. If the vessels happened to be lost in the accomplishment of a mission of this nature, the primary cause of their shipwreck would be at least a misfortune and not a fault." Mies Elam was, on Friday, condemned by default by the Tribunal of Commerce of Paris to pay 80,000 francs (1,2000 to the managers of the Paris Opera for having quitted Paris in violation of her engage ment. We read in the Constitutionnel:— " The officers of several Brazilian vessels, captured on the coast of Africa, under suspicion of being en gaged in th• slave trade, write us word from Brest that they have been detained for a length of time in tFe prison of that place, acd praying us to call •n the Minister of Marine to hasten the moment of their taking their trial. These officers are absolutely in the same position, with respect to the charges alleged against them, as were their fellow-officers who have been set at liberty. There can scarcely be any doubt that they will be also declared innocent. There is, therefore, inhumanity in detaining as prisoners, under a charge of piracy, men who are not pirates, and who must be sooner or later set at liberty as inno cent." The Toulonnais, of the 23d inst., announces that the English squadron was expected on the coast of Tuscany, and adds, that " If Austria should interfere in favour of the Duke of MoDENA against the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, that naval force would snake a grand demonstration !"

An improved feeling prevailed to-day, owing in part to the announcement that an important English house in this city will continue their business with out any interruption from the recent suspension of their relatives in London, of whom they are alto gether independent. The steam-ship Philadelphia sails to-morrow for Havre ; she takes out a quantity of French coin, said to the amount of 30,000 dollars.

CEssATiopes or LABOUR.—The railway contractors in the vicinity of Neath have discharged a great many men lately. Mr. H. E. Scott has discharged 50 men each week for the last three weeks. Mr. Sharp's and Messrs. Joseph Willett and Co.'s works are nearly at a stand, the men having been turned off. Great numbers of them have been for the last week standing idle about ' the streets and roads. Th e scarc i ty of money is said to be the principal cause of this occurrence.— Welshman. RELEASSI OP M. GARRETT. —lt will be recol lected that at the May sessions of the Central Criminal Court, a gentleman named Garb e tt, w h o h a d b een an tt attorney Wel l i ngton, in Shrop s hi re , an d w h o was since practising in London, was convicted of forgery under very peculiar circumstances, and a point of law raised by his counsel, Mr. Montagu Chambers, was re served for the consideration of the judges. It will be remembered that at the spring assiaes of the present year at Kingston, Mr. Garbett appeared as a witness for the defendant in an action u p on a bill o f exc h ange, and upon his being examined he swore that the accep• tance to the bill in question was not the handwriting of the defendant, but he declined to say who wrote it, until Lord Chief Justice Denman insisting on an answer to the question, and threatening to commit him if he did not, he was at length constrained to admit that he bad himself written the acceptance to the bill, without the sanction of the party w h ose name appeare d as t h e ac ceptor. This was of course tantamount to the admis sion that it was It forgery, and the Lord Chief Jus tice committed him to the custody of the Governor of Elorsemonger-lane gaol, and directed that an indictment should be preferred against him, and it eventually came on for trial at the May session. Upon that occasion Mr. Chambers objected to the admission of Mr. Garb( zee evidence upon the former trial, on the ground that it had been given under compulsion and a threat of ;com mittal, and therefore, according to the rules of law, could not be received. The evidence was admitted by the court, the Judges, however, agreeing to reserve the question for the consideration of the Judges, if the pri soner should be convicted. After his conviction, accord ingly, judgment was respited, and the point has ever since been under consideration. Within the last few days, however, it appears, that a majority of the Judges have decided that the evidence ought not to have been received, and in consequence an order was seat to the gaol of Newgate for the discharge of Mr. Garbett, who was at once set at liberty. SUICIDE Or CAPT. MARTIN Or THE HON. E.I.C.— On Saturday Mr. Payne held an inquest at the residence of Captain Thomas Martin, in Feachurch-str eet, upon the body of th a t o ffi cer , w ho committed suicide. It appeared that the deceased had been blind for 43 years, having lost his sight in an e ngagement from a gunshot wound. He had b een muc h depressed in his spirits since the loss o f t h e S o l way steamer , in which his daughter and other relatives perished. About one o'cl oc k on , Saturday m orn i ng B art l e tt Louis, his French servant, hearing a strange noise in deceased's room, went to see what was the matter, and found him lying on the bed with a frightful gash in his throat, and in his right hand an open razor. He was quite dead. Verdict—Tem porary inanity. AN ACTIVE CURATE.—At the Castle of Exeter, or Friday last, before a very full bench of magistrates, the Rev. F. Cooke, assistant curate, of Topsham, was fined 2/. and expenses, for aiding and assisting in the rolling of a lighted tar. barrel through the streets of Topsham, on the sth o f N o vember last, being G u y Fawkes Day, The rev. defendant, by his own story, appeared to have kicked the ,tar-barrel, with the view of driving it away from any property of an inflammable chara c t er w hi c h it might have been approaching; but it appearing, from the evidence of the policeman who witnessed the occur rence, that his reverence was even more particularly in terested in the success of the frolic than his own tale would unfold, their Worships took a different view of the case, and marked their disapprobation of the pastime he had indulged in, by inflicting on him the fine we have stated above, added to the costs of the complaint.—Ply mouth Journal. PESTILENTIAL STATE OE HUDDERSFIELD CHURCH TARD.—An eye-witness states that he recently attended a funeral at the parish church of Huddersfield, when he was astonished to find that, in order to dig the grave in which the corpse had to be interred, no fewer than seven coffins had been cut through to effect the purpose.— Observer. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW CITY, QUARTER TO THPEE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was steady. Sales 4,000 bales.—Railway Shares were not quite so good, but there was a moderate demand. Late on Saturday afternoon it was announced, in the City, that two additional failures had occurred—one a firm of eminence, acting in an extensive way, Messrs. Sargent, Gordon, and Co., and Messrs. Leaf, Barnett, Scotson, and Co., of Wood street, wholesale warehouse men. These additional disasters, especially the former, created much sensation in the City this morning, most of the merchants having left town before the fact of the failures was generally known. The first-named firm has extensive communications with the West India, Bast India, and Ceylon trades. A very good dividend is fully calculated upon. It was calculated upon as a certainty that the Direc tors of the Bank of England would hare reduced the rates of discount to 6i or 6 per cent., but as yet no confirmation of the rumour, however it may be desired, can be given. The state of the Corn Market has been somewhat buoyant, at an improvement of from Is. to 2s. per quarter. It is confidently expected that prices will continue to advance. The Public Securities have been very buoyant this mi,rning. Consols for the Account have advanced to within a fraction of 86. For Money the rise has been most marked, viz., from 84k to 85i, buyers. There have Leen some very good purchases made to-day in money stock. Exchequer-bills have advanced from 2s. discount to par, and East India Bonds from 30s. to 20s. discount. In the Foreign Bond Market, Russian Stock has advanced from 1051 to 1061; Spanish Five per Cents• have been done a shade better, but the Three per Cents., after having opened at 29/, receded to 281 for the Account. The Brazilian Five per Cent. Bonds were sold at 794, Mexican at 161, the Belgian Four-and-a- Half per Cents. at 901, the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 54.1., and the Four per Cent. Certificates at 83i The Caledonian Railway Shares have realised 35 to 35i; Eastern Counties, 16i 4; Great North cf Eng land, 224 226; Great Western, 15 to 16 premium; Great Northern, 6 to 51 discount ; London, Brighton, &c., 42i ; Midland Counties, 108 to 110 ; the South-Eastern and Dover, 29i to 30 ; and York and North Midland, 74 to 76. The Share Market appears rather more firm Ito -day. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Biink Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns B 3 l / 2%% 83% 3 per Cent.

During last week tho arrivals of all articles of English grain for our market coastwise, as well as by land car riage, were very small, even the time of year consi dered; and, owing to the then prevailing wet weather, greatly out of condition. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any supply came to hand, bat from abroad the general imports were moderately extensive, if we 'except those of Flour , of which article only ten sacks were re ceived. The foreign fresh supplies comprised 17,936 quarters of Wheat, 900 ditto of Barley, 3,294 &Ito of Oats, 7,153 ditto of Beaus, 1,298 ditto of Peas, and SOO ditto of Indian Corn. Fresh up this morning the receipts of English Wheat from Essex, Kent,. Cam bridgeshire, &c., were very moderate and of inferior , . _ quality, most of the samples being extrem ely 3amp, and unfit tor grinding, except with a large admixture of foreign ; however, the stands were t•cantily filled with samples of both red and white. The attendance of both town and country buyers being on the increase, the demand for the finest parcels was steady, at fully the currencies obtained on Monday last. In all other kinds only a moderate business was doing, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, last week's prices. At the conclusion of business a fair eh arance had been effected. With Foreign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. Fiue dry samples were in good request at full prices ; but the most inferior sorts—which formed the balk of the supply on offer-- now much neglected, though we cannot call them cheaper. For export scarcely anything was doing. The supply of Barley was very small. Selected parcels of it for malting purposes moved off steadily at late rates. Grinding and distilling sorts were a slow sale. Not withstanding the arrival of Malt was small, that article met a very dull Inquiry, and, in some instances, the currencies were not supported. With Oats we were very scantily supplied; nevertheless the sale for them wee in a very sluggish state, at but little alteration in value. The possession of foreign beans being considerable, that article declined 2s. per quarter, with a very dull inquiry. White peas were the turn lower, but grey and waple qualities were quite as dear. India corn-meal and Flour supported late rates, without difficulty. Although the Flour trade was by no means dull, prices were sup ported in every instance. Very little fine Flour was in the market.

This falling 06 we attribute in a great measure to the low prices lately realised in this market for foreign stock. arising from its extremely low condition. A; the outports about 1,100 head have been lode" chiefly from Holland, with a few from Germany'. The supply of Foreign stock on offer this m orning Was very moderate, viz., about 500 Oxen and Cows, 63 0 Sh ee t :4 and 35 Calves; in the general quality of which not the slightest improvement was noticed. The few Prim° animals were mostly sold at full prices ; but al l other kinds were a mere drug, and selling at very low rates* From our own grazing districts the arrivals of WOO fresh up to-day, by drift and railway, were tolerably ex' tensive as to number, but at least a moiety of them were beneath the middle quality. Owing to the di% markets being somewhat heavily supplied, ° the attendance of buyers by no means exte nsive, the beef trade was not so active as on this I f se'nnight. Prime Scots, Herefords, &c., moved 0 steadily ; all other beasts slowly at Friday's declin?• in the quotations of 2d per 8 1 bs. The pr i mes t spiels!! sold at from 45 - 6d to 45 8d per 8 1 bs. At the clos e et the market a total clearance of the Beasts had not been elected. The receipts from Leicestershire and North• amptonshire consisted of about 17,500 Shorthorns; frogs the eastern, western, and midland counties , 800 B aru fords, Runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c.; fro m other parte of England, 1,000 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 180 horned and polled Beasts, chiefly West highlanders' The numbers of Sheep were again somewhat on the 15 crease; yet they were by no 'means large, the time. year considered. Comparatively speaking, the quallti of most breeds was somewhat improved. Os _ the whole, the Mutton trade was steady, but by n,r , means brisk, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyoncei. the currencies obtained on Monday last. Net withstan s e ing the supply of Calves was small, the Veal trade W oo in a very inactive state, and, in some instan ces ', m g prices had a downward tendency.
