MOVE 1 MAtKET' and CITY NEWS. (TUESDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—The English Funds opened heavy this morning, Consols for the Account being quoted at 89, and, some large sales having been effected, prices receded to 88} to from which point a rally took . place again to SO ; but this quotation was of short du• ration, further and continued sales being effected, which produced a gradual decline till the close of business, making the last quotations of Consols for the Account 8810 *, being a fall of one per cent. since yesterday. This continued depression has been occasioned by re ports of most serious disturbances, of a revolutionary character, having taken place yesterday at Paris among the populace and workmen, accompanied by a further fall in the French Rentee. The effect of this report was not revved from the market at the close, and it obtained weight by the circumstance that the parties connected with the French expresses were the first operators for a fall. The demand for money continues, and, as we observed yesterday, there is Do sustaining action in operation to withstand the downward tendency prevalent from these causes, and the very unsettled state 4,4solitical affairs. It was known early in the day that telligence from the East had been received by a special express, and as they were expected to corrobo rate the contumacy of the Pacha, they also had a sinister influence on the value of pubic securities. On Friday the 21st ultimo, we announced the mis sion of Count Lara to this country on the subject of Spanish finance, adding that we concluded he had full powers to treat with the bondholders, and that he knew how the funds 'gem to be raised and secured necessary to give them the full and permanent benefit of aaj artatsgement that m i g h t b e t h e consequence of hilt neglotiation. We further remarked, that un less Count Lare had foreseen and considered these points, his mission was not likely to be at *tided with much good, and would only raise hopes th end in disappointment. @bunt Lara has now been in London for several days, we believe, and has had an interview with the Committee. It appears, however, that he is net authorised to treat with the bondholders, although, according to the statement of a correspondent, his project is said to have been approved of before be This statement, which was sent round in a species of official circular yesterday to the London Press, has no distinct meaning except this, that Count Lara cannot be viewed as the organ of, o? financial re presentative of, the Spanish Government. It is as serted in the circular above noticed, that his project was approved of before he left Madrid, but we arc not told by whom it was approved, nor of the date of his departure from the Spanish capital. His mission is, indeed, we fear, ill-timed, and his overtures to the Committee premature. We stated formerly that theme was a general feeline• entertained here that the Spanish nation would not delude their foreign creditors, but would faithfully execute their part of any proposi tions which might be made in their name. We recom . mend this remark to the serious consideration of . Count Lara, advising him to wait until the Spanish Govern ment has given him fall auMiority to act in their behalf. and eptil his " project" has received the impress and weigfit of official sanction. At present it is well known that Spain is almost without a Government, and the idea of a financial agent coming forward to bind a eountry in the present unsettled position of Spain is ebsuiel. The first thing to be done for Spain and her er,ditor.; is the estabkshment of a strong execa tive, eopable of pacifying the country, and of allow ing a large disbanding of the standing army. When that step is accomplished, we should expect that such a Government would int , tantly take measures ;or meetieg the engagements of their foreign credi tors in perfect good faith ; but it is out of all rule to come forward with propOsels of settlement to the hendholders in the expectation that they may he ereed to afterwards by the future Government of l'eeie u, fieeetirse they may perhaps have been favourably lookei upon by their predecessors. Count Lara should at least suspend his operations until he can show his an t from the Spanish Minister of Finance de 'act° ; fur we do not see it asserted that he is even aeknow -I.eiged by the Spanish embassy here, as being in pos ee:sion of anrOtlicial appointment or status whateve: We should, therefore, apprehend that the Committee of niboiders would call upon Count Lara to produce ins eredeetiais before entering upon negotiations ; for eelest, or until; ha be accredited by Spain, it is in every eespec, inexpedient for them to deal with him. \V e, have received Sae sobj„ined letter, relative to flat reeent hurricane at Port Essington • liee-1n your it pression of Saturday last, when noticing, the hurricane at Port Essington; "you describe tint place us in the colony of S•wan River, and those persons who are unacquainted with the real situation of it will be led to believe that the latter place is liable to harticaaes of a nature similar to the one described. • Toe two places are, however, essentially different, end eat distinct governments, Port Essicgton being si teated in lat.

TIMES.—By advices from Hamburh the price of go;ti is 425 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 'J/. 173. 10 d. the ounce for stancard gold, gives an exc.:ban() of 1;3. 5, and the exchange at Hamburgh on Lqadon at short being 13.5 i, it follows that gold is 0.12 ycr eent. lower at Himburgh than i❑ London. The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per milk, which, et the English Mint price of ;31. 17s. lOid. the ounce tvr standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 32k, and the t.scliange at Paris on London at short being 25. 17i, it follows that gold is 0.60 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. Tie 2 gloom of the Money Market has increased without any definite reason being assigned, further fi:an the continuation of the same causes which have Already contributed towards a depression—viz., the Unsettled state of polities, the distrust of private credit, and the strong dispositio❑ of several parties to epeculate. for a fall. Money having become less plenti tul and stock more so from tha effect of ropoated sales, not improbable that the purchasers have been un able to hold the stock they have bought, but have been obliged again to part with it, and thus have increased trio doression. It is still remarked that the public take no interest in this state of things, or, if they do, it is ac!y to invest at the reduced prices. The fall to-day in Consols has been Pull 1 per cent. Having been 89 to for the Account, they left off 83 sellers. The price for iwirnediate delivery is 87.1 to 1. Nor is the deciine efined to the funded securities. Exchequer bills, Which of late have moved but h. at a time, have fallen age. since yesterday, and leave off 10s. to I'?s. premium. After the close of business Consols were offering at 87 sellers for the Account. A private letter from Lisbon contains some facts re lative to the orchilla weed, which may be of interest to the manufacturers of articles in which it is employed. 'Mr. Thomas Miller presented a short time ago a pe tion to tine Portuguese Cortes, in which he stated that, in November, 16:37, he discovered a moss called " Lichen Estrella,' in the Cape de Vord Islands, different ltom the orchilla weed, which grows on the rrlolcs in the same islands, but perfectly suited for the si:erposzs o-f dying. Of this lichen he purchased a large qa.tistity, but, at the request of the Government contractors for the orchilla woed of thesa ff nds net allc.v e d to export it.

M r. Thos. Miller is a British subject. The feeling in Nur/ York in fivour of a bankrupt law tvenid appear to have taken the deepest root among the or opposition party to the re-election of Van Buren, who have circulated the annexed declaration on the subject for signature : '; Declaration—We, whose names are hereunto agi:,:ed, agree and promise that we will use all lawful ::'.tab in our collective and individual capacity to pro .rom the Conzress of the United States the speedy ° 4 o`'et: a bankrupt law, the cardinal principle of a be based on the release of the honest but :ortune.te man from his debts, upon the full and •tea surrender of all his -o vr' for the benefit of his creditors ;an dP we further agree, that for the purpose OS ~.:ffectirir this just and benevolent object, we will lnuesvour tu procure, * cespeo , tive/ c . bah) , tue pailtical parties to which • etnLe nominat,on as candidates for L;ongreSS and th e s i t ' a g : Legislature of t;uch persons as I (ix,: known to he of the great object for which •'c have associated ; an d r that we ,010 for furthermore agree and de- I au to any leeislative unles.s %Ale have satisfaent°orymevidence that he is in ur'ci the immediate release and deliverance of the EVENING EDITION. unfortunate but honest debtor, and will use his utmost exertions for his speedy emancipation." What success has attended this effort does not ap pear. On the side of the democratic party th e pro ceeding is deprecated as mixing up a purely c ommerc i a l question with state matters which ought not to come within its operation. A new instance has occurred in the United States of the independent and arrogant tone which some of the banks occasionally adopt towards the powers from which they derive their charters. The Governor of Missis sippi having declared the charter of the Union Bank of that State forfeited, its President has issued a coun ter-proclamation, announcing the intention of the Bank to disregard the provisions of the law under which the Governor acted. HERALD.—Railway Shares still suffer severely from the effects of the general depression. The throw ing of large quant i t i es o f s h ares upon t h e mar k et, i n which speculation has been of late kept alive, tends to depress their unfavourable position. The recent heavy decline in the public securities has called forth all the ingenuity of our Contemporaries. Each has taxed his sagacity to the utmost in the endea vour to find a plausible explanation of the cause. With all the elements of strife in operation on the continent, in the Peninsula, and in the East, the favourite solution of the difficulty has been found in connexion with the domestic concerns of the country. No doubt exten sive failures are calculated to excite apprehension in the minds of capitalists and fundholders, but those which have occurred have evidently, in the present instance, been brought on exclusively by the threatening aspect of our foreign relations. There is certainly no thing in the general state of private credit to produce alarm. The Bank of England was, perhaps, in a some what critical position six weeks ago : with a low stook of bullion in her coffers, there was every probability, from the then state of the weather, and the gradual decline that was going on in the exchanges, that fresh exportations of gold would take place on an extended scale, to pay for corn ; but the harvest is understood to have been by this time all but completed throughout the three kingdoms. and this in the most satisfactory way. The crops are found to be excellent, and in great abund ance. The bill brokers have been asking the full rate of interest during the last day or two ; but for the moment there should be nothing in this to create anxiety, as advantage is always taken by capitalists of a period of distrust like the present, however partial it may be in its range. POST.--The Funds experienced another consider able decline to-day, Consols closing at 871 for money and 88 to 4.. for account ; Exchequer Bills - at 13s. to 15s. prem ; and India Bonds at 4s. to 6s. prem. The fall in Consols, it will be seen, is but a fraction, if any thing, short of one per cent. on y es t er d ay , an d i t is be observed that the markets closed at the lowest point of depression. The great and increasing want of confidence exhibited by speculators, for we do not believe any very large amount of money-stock changed hands, has been attributed, though very erroneously, to circumstances connected with the money market. The discount houses in Lombard street are taking advantage, as usual, of the agitation which prevails, and demanding extreme rates of interest for the discount of bills ; but, as regards private credit generally, we have no hesitation in sayint: that it was never in a more sound and sati:- factory state than at the present moment. The col crops have now been secured in the best order througi - out England and Ireland, while in Scotland the harve. has all but terminated, and the supplies both of gral. and grass have been ascertained to be most abundant. The Back of England have no longer the smallest cause of anxiety on this score ; and, as was to be ex pected,the effect of the long continuance of fine weather we have had has been to improve the exchai ges both in the continental markets and our own. The dismay which exists at the Stock Exchange is considered in the bzst-informed ciN;les to have arisen almost entirely from extraneous causes of excitement. 'Fasts seem to have been fresh outbreaks in the north of Spain, hut the day's arrivals do not appear to have brought anything essentially nt w from other quarters. The Foreign Funds were wretchedly flat throughout the morning. The bankrupt securities are in fact dwindling away to nothing. Five per Cent. Portu guese Bonds left off at 31 : 1 to 24 ; Three per Cent. ditto, at 214 to 4- ; and Active Spat ish at 22.} to 3, with the four years' interest due upon them. What a melancholy prospect for the holders of both descrip floes ! We suppose some amount upon which advances of money have been made has beta brought to market and sacrificed at what it would fetch. The more we think of the propositions made yesterday to the Committee of Spanish bondholders by the Count de Lara the less disposed are we to approve of them. Spain has well-known natural sources of wealth, such as her mines, &c., and it is to these alone that her Government can look as a legitimate means of raising money. There has been by far too much trafficking in paper, and the committee will not do their duty to their constituents if they do not, at their conference to-morrow, discountenance any project that may tend to perpetuate the system. We dare say there was a perfectly good understanding between the Count de Lars and his Government, but that it was deemed expedient to conceal the fact as much as pos sible. Scheming and manceuvring have been so long practised by the two Governments of the Peninsula that the best thing the bondholders can do is to meet every fresh overture that may be made to them on the part of either with a cool exhibition of their four years' accumulation of dishonoured coupons. The way to deal with a dishonest debtor is get back as much as possible of that which he has obtained possession of, and never trust him again. The Liverpool Wail, in a report received by that paper yesterday, gives some particulars of the late failures a Manchester. One of them (that of a Mr. Henry Forth, a hand and power loom cloth dealer and agent) is described as the heaviest that has oc curred in the same line for many years past, the business of the individual having been pushed to an immense extent. It appears that the immediate cause of his stoppage was the appropriation by his banker of some 8,0001. paid in, to the reduction of a balance standing at his debit, instead of applying the amount to the payment of some acceptances falling due. Mr. Forth's liabilities are estimated at from 150,0001. to 200,0001. It was believed that the ma. nufacturers and spinners would be the principal suf ferers. One single firm was reported to be creditor for 30,0001., and it is concluded that so extensive a failure cannot but be followed by some others. It was, in deed, quite understood that such would be the case. The other stoppage, to which we made allusion yester day, was not so bad a case. The creditors met on Saturday, when a statement of the affairs of the party (Mr. Lavino) was laid before them. The balance sheet displayed a difference of 11,0001. in his favour. The principal debtor was present, and offered to pay the sum due from him to the estate (25,0001.) in the course of this month, on the deduction of a small dis count. The other assets were understood to consist of good debts and stock laid in at low prices, so that the creditors expect to realise the full amount of their claims. SUN.—The failures at Manchester have had a bad effect in the City. Money is scarcer, and loans on the deposit of Railway Shares are effected with great diffi culty. The rates for Bills of Exchange this afternoon were a shade better, being as follows :—Paris, 25f. 45c. to 50c. ; Amsterdam, 12 If to 2 ; Frankfort, 149 ; and Hamburgh, 13 84 to I. We have to record a further marked decline in the value of the public securities to-day, amounting to full 1 per cent. on the closing quotation of yesterday. Let us endeavour, however, to account for this reaction, and to allay that feeling of anxiety and alarm which, with. out the warning and expositions of the daily press, might naturally be felt at a distance from the scene of action (the modern Pandemonium) by those who have a bone fide stake in the national credit. The senseless alarm kept up in various quarters, but more especially at Paris, has caused the speculators for a rise to abandon in part the stand they had taken, and imagining they will find a better account in jobbing for a fall, they side with the Bears, and thus turn the scale. The market being exposed to the constant attacks of these persons, is of course in a fluctuating and unstable condition, and can only rally when it pleases them to turn the t a bl es . In this there is doubtless a serious evil, but fortunately !b.r the public at large it is one that w i ll wor k its own cure. The chief business done has been for account, and much of this with a view to tjfect. One broker sold 200,0001. Consols early in the day, and this caused a reaction from 89 to 88i and by sub seq uent hard work the price was further rednced. to 88, closing at 88i for the account. For money the opening value was 88i-, the medium price 8 8, and the latest 8 - q. It would be curious to know what there is so very different in the present aspect of political affairs, as compared with last week. Ex chequer Bil ls fell from 18s. to 10s. and 15s. premium, and India Bonds from Os. to 4s. discount. India Stock rcc..eded to 2484 to 2494, and the New Three-and-a- Half per Cents, to 913; 1 and 97. Foreign Stock s all tell. Spanish Active Bonds closed at 22,1. ; Portuguese New at 311 ; Dutch Two-and-a 11,11f per Cent s , at 50 . ;1 ; and B e l g i an B on d s a t 99i. The Railway Shares have worn a very unfavourable appearance. It is said that the house which has failed at Manchester has a large amount on hand, but if so, we should hardly imagine the creditors would realize 1 sales at th e present ruinous depreciation. Great Wes ' tern Suarea fell to-day from 17 to 12 and 13-1- premium ; New fro..7t 5 to :3 1- premiu m ; Bi rm i ngham from 66 to 64 preaTzum ; New from 21 to 20 premium • and South Western from 121 to 111 prem i um ; and Brighton from 11 to 11,} discount.

(From the Times.) Information has not yet been received of the arrival at Macao of the expedition against China ; but, judging from the date, the 30th of May, when the Singapore division of the fleet sailed from that port, and also the date, the 10th of June, when the Admiral's squadron was spoken with off Anjeer, it is probable that the united force will have reached the China seas about the 20th of June. The follow ing appears to be the amount of navel force employed on this occasion —viz., Her Majesty's ship Melville, 74, bearing the Admiral's flag ; the Wellesley. 74, bearing the Commodore's flag ; the Blenheim, 74 ; the Blonde, 46 ; the Druid, 44 ; the Alligator, 28 ; the Volage, 26 ; the Conway, 26 ; the Nimrod, 20 ; the Hyacinth, 18; the Cruiser, 18 ; the Larne, 18 ; the Modeste, 18 ; the Pylades, 18 ; the Columbine, 18 ; the Orestes, 18 ; and the Algerine, 10 ; be sides which there are the East India Company's steamer Atalanta, the troop-ship Rattlesnake, with 19 sail of transports. The amount of land force is not stated, but additional transports had been taken up at Calcutta, and fresh troops were to be embarked at Ma dras for China. The plan of operations and the point of attack are still merely matter of conjecture, but there are apparently indications of wavering on the part of the Chinese Government, especially if we may believe the alleged disgrace of Commissioner Lin, from which it may be inferred, that iI a firm and uncompromising course is adopted, without offering any gratuitous insult to Chinese pride, or stipulat ing for the legalization of a prohibited traffic, there will be found no insurmountable obstacles to a peace ful termination of existing differences. If such an accommodation be unattainable, active hostilities must ensue, the results of which it is impossible to foresee or predict. In the mean time let not Ministers flatter themselves that China is an enemy to be despised, or that, beins , despicable, she will have to maint a in he r contest with' us single-handed. The resources of an empire embracing 300,000,000 of a subject population can neither be few nor inconsiderable; and Russia, while she maintains a profound silence on this subject, is neither inattentive to our movements nor inactive in employing means to defeat them. Dees Lord Palmer ston know that a Russian embassy is now threading its way through Tartary from St. Petersburg to Pekin, if it has not already arrived at the imperial city, to give heart to the Chinese in the approaching struggle with England, to explore thoseunknown regions, and to organiseEastern Asia against us through means of its lord paramount, the Emperor of China, in the same manner as the attempt has already been made to organise Western Asia! A war with China, if present circumstances ripen into such an event, will be no child's play, and it is such a war that has been wantonly incurred, while, on the western as well as on the eastern confines of our Indian empire, peace is insecure, and in Europe the aspect of affairs becomes every day more threatening. If we turn from China to India, while the success of our gal lent countrymen in arms has been, and continues to be, all that our national pride can expect or desire, there is nothing in the political results of their achievements in which we can rejoice. The weak and profligate old man whom we have placed on the throne of Cabul, and whom we retain there by force only, is declared to be held in equal hatred and derision by his outraged sub jects. The retrograde movement of the Russian force from Khiva is fully confirmed, but it is equally certain that there is a fixed determination in the imperial coun cils at St. Petersburgh to renew the attempt, making ample provision against those contingencies which ren• dared success in the first instance impossible. The purpose of Russia is to invade Khiva. to take possession of the country, and to establish Russian influence on a firm basis, as a check on the influence which England has acquired in Cabul. In Cabul the question was nomi nally whether Shah Sonjah or Dost Mahomed Khan should rule ; but really it was whether the ruler, who ever he might be, would acknowledge Russian or Bri tish influence, which his been determined for a time in favour of the latter. In like manner the question be tween Russia and Khiva is, in terms, whether the latter will surrender certain subjects of the former, whom she holds in bondage ; but, in fact, whether she will acknowledge the sway of Russia, as a means of counteracting the ascendancy which England has ac quired in Cabul. Thus the contest is only in name between Russia and Khiva, but in reality between Russia and England. These two Powers are every day approximating to each other in the heart of C en t ra l Asia, and te native Powers that lie between are inevitably crushed in the collision that is taking place between them. While England, with very questionable policy, has weakened by extending her trontier she has at. the same time, with at least tem porary success, transferred the scat of the contest from the heart of the Indian empire to its extreme boun daiies ; and while Russia has been defeated in her pro jects before Herat, at Candahar, and in Cabul, she is endeavouring to retrieve her losses and her disgrace by establishing her supremacy in Khiva. These plottings and counter-workings aga i ns t E ng li s h i n fl uence b ) Russia in China and in Central Asia, always disavowed, but never abandoned, may well teach caution and vigi lance against the insidious policy she may be contem ! plating while according her co-operation in the adoption of coercive measures against the Pacha of Egypt. This is the topic of absorbing interest in the news just re ceived, but we will not dwell upon it in this place. The attitude of the Pacha is calm and unbending, re solute against submission to the mandates of the Four Powers. If we may credit the authenticity of the pro clamation bearing Commodore Napier's name, England has already taken a decisive step which cannot be re conciled with the terms offered to Mehemet Ali. The elements of a European war are at work, from which it is not by the wisdom, or foresight, or judgment, or energy of Ministers, that we hope to be delivered. (From the Morning Post.) A correspondent in Paris, on whose means of infor mation the greatest reliance may be placed, informs us that 4‘ a second memorandum, still more illusory than the first, was forwarded about ten days ago by Lord Palmerston to the French Government through M. Guizot. It was not published by the Cabinet of the Tuileries from a feeling that it contained, au fond, more of masked irony than the preceding note, though bearing on the face of it the same appearance of conciliation." The extraordinary fact of Captain Napier having begun operations by issuing incendiary proclamations to the inhabitants of Syria, and summoning the Egyptian au thorities to retire from Be.yrout before the period al lowed to the Pacha by the treaty, were considered in Paris as sufficiently illustrating the secret animus, the irrepressible the contradiction between words and deeds, which the French conceive to have all along formed the under-current .f Lord Paltnerston's policy. (From the Morning Herald.) The Journal des Debats, in commenting upon the part taken by the Morning Herald, in reference to the /risk Municipal Corporations Bill, and some other measures which received the support of the Conserva tive leaders in Parliameet, although such measures were essentially revolutionary and destructive, charges us with having placed Sir Robert Peel and Mr. O'Connell in the same category of politicians. This is worse than a mistake. In order to make the charge good, the Journal des Debats pretends tb quote verbatim a passage from the Morning Herald, literally support. ing its accusation as follows :—" Sir Robert Peel and Mr. O'Connell may now, like the two quack doctors described by Goldsmith, go hand-in-hand, smiling on wards to immortality." Undoubtedly we compared Mr. O'Connell and a well-known Conservative accomplice in Mr. O'Connell's scheme for entrenching within the ram parts of Conservative power the repeal and riband ene mies of British connection in Ireland, to the two medical mountebanks so humorously described by Oliver Gold smith, who denounced, placarded, and anti-puffed each other for some years in the bitterest spirit of rivalry, until, having their eyes opened to the mutual advantages of a compromise, they suddenly resolved to bury their reciprocal animosities in oblivion, and make victims of the deluded public in common. Then did those great men, with the magnanimity of exalted genius, assist instead of impeding each other's progress in the field of generous exertion for the benefit of mankind and their own particular interests. Then did they adjust their wigs at the same looking-glass, prepare the pills for their patients in the same pestle and mortar, and, casting the petty jealousies of their profession be hind them, " go hand-in-hand, smiling onwards to im mortality." The writers is the Journal des Debats are gifted with a vivacity of imagination, which makes it rather difficult, if not degrading, for them to con descend to a vulgar attention to the facts. So, when the Morning Herald spoke of Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Frederick Shaw as worthy imitators of their great prototypes in (iolcisaiith, the Journal des Debits took the liberty of substituting the name of Sir Robert Peel for that of Mr. Shaw, and gave the credit of its own alteration of the text to the paper which it pre tended to quote verbatim. A journalist that can so coolly substitute what it invents for what it finds in the language of an adversary, can never be at a loss for a text on which to engraft a suitable commentary. Our opinion of Sir Robert Peel's conduct, as well as that of other distinguished Conservatives both Houses of the Lrgislature, on the Ministerial Bill for providing AL . O'C onne ll with his long-desired " tv)rrnal schools of political agitation,", is before the public. But in the surrender of the municipal fortresses of Protestant power and British connection to the malignant and indefatigable enemies of both the one and the other,- we believe Mr. Shaw to be the original and principal offender. We have no doubt that Sir Robert Peel, who made him a Privy Councillor in Ireland, relied more on his advice on Irish Affairs t;:an he ought to have done, 2nd was '.ilereby led into deplo- rable error. But it was not Sir Robert Peel alone to whom on Irish affairs the Recorder of the betrayed Protestant Corporation of Dublin was for a long time a sort of oracular authority. The Duke of Wellington and Lord Lyndhurst unhappily placed too much faith in the efficacy of his " specifics" to remedy the distem pered state of Ireland —a distempered state, the result not of too little, but of too much concession to a bigotted and insolent faction. The able speeches of Sir C. Wether ell and Professor Butt, of the Dublin University, at the bar of the House of Lords, appear to have first let in some light upon the Duke of Wellington's mind as to the real nature and inevitable consequences of the surrender to a Papal ascendancy of the Irish cor porations, which the House of Lords was then about to perpetrate. But instructed and even alarmed, as the Duke of Wellington evidently was, by the speeches of the tmelearned Advocates of the Dublin corpora tion, he, eventually, declined to retrace his steps, and even chose to take Lord Normanby's unsupported as• sertions against reasoning that could not be contro verted, and facts that could not be denied. The re sult is known. O'Connell's great " job" was carried, and so was Mr. Shaw's also. The former pretends to be dissatisfied : but he laughs in his sleeve at the folly of his adversaries. As to Mr. Shaw, may we ask, wio the Protestant University of Dublin be:so base or supine as ever to return him again to Parliament ? (From the-Morning Advertiser.) The last Bedford Mercury contains the report of the foundation of a new Mechanics' Institution in that district. We always derive the greatest pleasure from the reports of the Mechanics' Institutes, philosophical societies, and scientific institutions, established in all the provinces of the country, but more especially from those established throughout the embrace of our pro vincial districts. We hope to see them ramifying and propagating themselves through every corner of the island ; nor, seeing what we h ave seen, do we greatly beginnings they may originally e seen the h um bl est b eg i nn i ngs and i n fl uent i al associations. swell wp a r r ei e lni from n e bn et ocwahuiasi important pwore humble tahnatv These societies take the lead in agitating the great questions which ameliorate human existence, and in imparting the influence of their moral example to the onward impulse of universal mind. This is an object too sacred and too important to be melted away in the breath of , party spirit. It has been sneeringly said, that " a little learning is:a dangerous thing"—that a little knowledge may do a man harm. This is a false prin ciple, though it has grown into a proverb. All know ledge is an accumulation of facts which establish truth, cad it is better to have a little of that truth than to have none at all. The fears entertained by the exclu sive classes of its diffusion are most irrational ; the diffusion is, in fact, their safety—it is the safety-valve of the social engine. As the people possess more ' mind and more information, they will dislike and deli cline all appeals to brute force. That is the only force to be apprehended, and that is only a force employed by the uneducated ignorance of the popular masses. When changes occur—and changes must occur as society progresses towards its final goal—they will take place among OH educated people in orderly accordance with law, and in tranquil conformity with the dictates of neighbourly kindness and of good sense. There are other advantages connected with these institutions, with which the mercantile and trading prosperity of the whole country is intimately bound up. The importance of promoting scientific knowledge among our me chanics is essentially necessary to England's successful competition with the active inslustry of foreign mar kets. Such knowledge is requisite to maintain the ascendancy of our commerce. Let the mind of Eng land be cultivated as well as her plains, and the day will not be far distant when she will .reach to an incal culable height of power, of wealth, and of moral great ness. All the scientific elements of this great result are now in active operation. But ii must be by the combination of educated mind with social morals that we shall procure and secure this future greatness for our country. By their union, and by their instru mentality, the mightiest triumphs may be accom p:ished, and so impelled and directed it is impossible to calculate the extent to which the national power and the commercial prosperity of England may ulti mately attain. Let us reflect, moreover, that while we promote our own commercial advantages by pro moting the scientific knowledge of the artisan, we are diffusing innumerable benefits to the furthest bounds of the earth, and enlightening., civilizing, and Christianizing, by our commerce, the benighted hea then and the untamed savage, in the darkest corners of the earth. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Of the French Journals we do not know which is most violent and virulent against M. Thiers, the Na tional or the Journal des Debats, the organ of the Re publican or of the ultra-Conservative party. Never was a French Minister placed in a more trying or more serous position—he sees all the abundant elements of anarchy and sedition working and heating around him at home. He sees the alternative of war or humilia tion menace him from abroad ; whilst those who should most zealously rally to him in the hour of danger— that is, the old Government and Court party—these attack hint with a fury which shows their predominant feeling to be joy at his downfal. At such a moment it would be ungenerous to swell the interested or illibe ral cry against M. niers ; for, after all, the difficulties are not of his making. The policy on the part of France, which has led to her estrangement from England is not of M. Thiers's invention. He was forced to take circumstances and the national feeling us he found them. He cannot control either, however be may guide, or moderate, or give reins to their fury, according as the necessities of his situation and of diplo macy require. As to the Republicans and ultra-Li berals, their cry is the pusillanimity of the Cabinet, the tardiness of the French fleet in not attacking, of the French army in not passing the frontier, of French di plomacy in notldefying Europe. These fiery denuncia tions stir up and inflame the masses, and have awakened in that portion of the French mind which is ignorant of the question and of the relative position and interests of France in the question—that is to say ninety-nine hundredths of the nation—an irritation which craves for foreign war, and, in default of it, for intestine troubles to allay it. The lower classes of the capital and of Lyons are in a most dangerous state of excitement. The Ministry treats these serious symptoms with great vigil ance and great forbearance, calming the effervescence, arresting the ringleaders, and sparing the mob. At this the Court journal raises the cry of treason, of culpable remissness. It denounces niers, as it would Espar tero, for tolerating sedition, and would have the thou sands of artisan: ridden down and sabred by gendarmerie on the eve, or the apparent eve, of a war. One can safely say that if MM. Persil and Gisquet and the Con servatives had the management of the Justice and Police departments at present, the hitherto harmless show of riot would have been either provoked into a triumphant insurrection, or else quenched in blood. They would, in fact, play the game in Paris which they advise and ap• plaud in Madrid. Placed between these parties, the posi tion of M. Thiers is most difficult, and every step he takes is denounced by one side as pusillanimous, by the other as headstrong. The Radicals accuse him of crouch ing to Prince Metternich ; the Conservatives accuse him of being the cause of the war by not having jumped at the supposed proposals of the Austrian envoy in May last. At a meeting of the Peers during the ex amination of Louis Bonaparte, several Memlwers of the Noble Chamber, to which, by the by, M. Thiers is very unpalatable, accused him in one breath of having issued the warlike ordonnances to provoke Europe, and then of not having armed with celerity to meet its hos tilities. The same diversity and intensity of censure now appears on the subject of the note recently pre sented by the British Minister in Paris. This famous note was unfortunately anticipated. French imagina tion set to work upon it, and expectations were raised that it was to bo nothing less than a disavowal of the treaty of July, and proposals for a totally new arrangement. A moment's reflection would have shown the impossibility of such a declaration on the part of ono of the Four Powers. The note is all that it could have been ; and being valunteered, as it has been, ought to have been taken as a strong indication of a wish to con ciliate. The Radicals of course denounce the note, and the pusillanimity of listening to it. The Conservative writers eagerly hope that M. Thiers would decidedly reject the note, whilst at the same time it might offer them something to t a k e up, an d so mething that th ey might blame Thiers for refusing. Thiers, however, has baffled them; and although they were last week a peace party, they now shout out the war-cry louder than Thiers. They are, in fact, determined to do whatever he does not do.

Bill let,' i.) SUGAR.-In the British Plantation Sugar market there has not been much activity since last Tuesday, still a fair demand has existed both for brown and yellow descrip tions ; 1,150 hhds and tierces have been disposed of, and the prices paid were 6d higher ; fine yellow Jamaica was sold at 88s, and good 87s per cwt. Several vessels have arrived during the past week, still the stock is not half of what it was at this time in 1839, and the difference in the importations this as compared with that of last year even exceeds that quantity.-The weekly deliveries have again been less than they were in 1839-this is not to be wondered at, considering that prices rule more than a hun dred per cent. above those two years ago. The reduced stocks held by the trade everywhere, and the falling off in the supply, cause the merchants to be rather sanguine in their expectations. To-day holders displayed firmness, and refused to sell excepting at fully former rates; from the grocers there was a good demand for all descriptions with colour and strength, but the refiners bought sparingly . the private pur chases amounted to 450 hhds and tierces. Good yellow Antigua with not much complexion was sold at 87a, and middling Berbice at 83s per cwt. At auction 80 hhds Barbadoes were offered, an indifferent parcel, being soft and with little colour, it sold without spirit, and rather un der former rates, mid yellow fetched 83s to 843, good 84s 6d to 85s 6d, fine 86s to 86s 6d per cwt. The stock of British Plantation Sugar is now 17,135 hhds and tierces, which is 19,502 less than last year at the same period. The stock of Mauritius is 16,996 bags, being 87,206 less than last year. The stock of Bengal is 20,437 nags, which is 19,304 lens than last year. The de livery of British Plantation Sugar for the last week was 2,001 hhds and tierces, being 306 less than during the same time last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 3,174 bags, being 6,195 less than last year. The delivery of Bengal was 1,990 bags, being 2,045 less than the corre sponding week of last year. The Gazette average price is now 58s 80, in 1839 40s 9d, and in 1838 29s 24d. REFINED.-For home consumption Refined Goods have been in rather better request since last Tuesday, and prices are firmer, standard Lumps selling at 107 s to 107 s 6d, Tittlers and Hamburgh Loaves, good 108 s to 109 s, fine 109 s 6d to 1103 6d, low brown Lumps 1018 to 102 s, good and fine 103 s to 106 s. per c.vt. The demand for treacle has improved a little, we quote best old make 44s a 44s 6d, patent 41s 6d a 425, and common 39s to 40s. Pieces have sold freely, fine sorts up to 86s. Bastards have been in good request, and common sorts are not to be had under 709 per cwt. For Bonded Loaves a good demand has existed, 37s 6d to 38s paid for 141bs, and 38s 6d to 39s for 101bs. In Crushed Sugar the operations have been on a fair scale at 33s 6d. Treacle has sold freely at 15s. Pieces and Bastards are not much in request, and prices are unvaried. In Dutch Crushed Sugar the opera tions have been on a more extended scale; 200 tons have been sold at 81s to 31s 3d on board at Amaterdarn. To-day the demand was limited for refined goods from the home trade, and prices gave way several shillings, Standard Lumps selling at 1045 to 1043 6d, Tittlers and Hamburgh Leaves good and fine 1053 to 110 s, good and fine brown lumps 100 s to 103 s, common 97s to 98s. Treacle dull at 39s to 44s 6d, Pieces and Bastards less in request, but prices were supported. Bonded crushed was in fair de mand at 33s Gd per cwt. Loaves sold well at previous rates. MAURITIUS.-There has again been no public sale, and only 1,800 bags are declared; by private contract there has been a good deal of inquiry, and rather higher prices have been offered for strong qualities ; the short supply, however, has prevented operations of moment, but three vessels are near at hand with 20,000 bags. EAST INDIA.- Bengal has been much sought after by the home trade, and advanced rates offered, but by private treaty few parcels are to be had ; white kinds are the most wanted; at auction 3,400 bags sold wit!a spirit is above former rates, fine white at 89s 6d, middling to good white fetched 86s to 88s 6d, washed and damp 83s to 87s 6d, low heavy brown 72s 6d to 75s 6d, fair 783 6d, damp 65s to 67s 6d, dry yellow 84s to 85s 6d, soft dingy 82s to 83s 6d per cwt. Stock is considerably less that it was last year at this time : the importation has been under that of 1839 Our Refiners are buyers to a fair extent of Manilla, and would pay former rates, but the short supply has restricted business, and few sales have been made privately, for ex port the orders are still trivial, prices being too high to adroit of the execution thereof, there has been no public sale. Siam and Java being held for rather higher prices, have caused the operations privately to be on a small scale. None has been offered at public sale. FOREIGN. -For yellow Havannah a better demand has existed since last Tuesday ; the merchants still display firmness, notwithstanding the large stock, and have ob tained full former rates; 500 boxes have been iisposid of by private treaty chiefly at 26s to 26s 6d for fine quality, and a cargo, consisting of 800 boxes of good quality, has been taken for Ghent at 25s 6d per cwt. ; a good deal of inquiry has existed for brown sorts fram our refiners, but the supply of this kind is small. For white there are yet few buyers, and although there are sellers on easier terms, yet the operations have been limited, and con fined to 150 chests by private treaty at 35s to 36s for fine quality. Brown sorts of Brazil have been in good request principally for refining under bond, and rather higher prices have been paid ; 200 chests have been disposed of privately at 21s 6d to 22s for good quality. White kinds are dull of sale, and parcels out of condition ar e offer e d on easier terms. The stock of Havannah is 50,000 boxes, 15,000 of which consist of white. The stock of Brazil is less than it was in 1839. To-day a parcel of mid greyish white Havannah was disposed of privately at 335. per cwt. MoLAssßs.-West India has been disposed of to a fair extent at previous rates. The stock is 1,600 casks less than last year at this time. Come-For the clean descriptions of West India a fair demand has prevailed since last Tuesday, and former rates have been maintained ; middling kinds have been the most in request : unclean qualities, however, have been dull of sale, and prices have still a downward tendency, owing to the competition they meet with from East India and Cape sorts : at public sale, 122 casks Jamaica were disposed of: middling clean at 113 s to 118 s, low middling 110 s to 1106 6d, fine ordinary 92s to 95s per cwt. The stock and the importations up to the present time are considerably larger than last year. In the value of East India and Cape descriptions little va riation has occurred, but the operations by private contract have been on a small scale in all kinds, the public sales have been unimportant, and have consisted of 2,400 bags Java, half was disposed of Is under previous rates, viz. at 66s to 676 for, good ord bold yellow, the remainder was taken in at 665 to 68s, but the whole has since been sold at 66s to 66s 6d per cwt. Mocha of fine yellow quality is wanted, but few parcels are to be had unless at extravagant prices, other sorts are still only in limited request. The stock has reached upwards of 160,000 bags, and the importa tions have been 174,000 bags, including many carg oes brought from Holland via the Cape of Good Hope; the high rates which ruled during the whole of last year have been the cause of such unpreccdentedly large supplies. The demand for Foreign is increasing, and a fair amount of business has been transacted in Rio at an advance on former rates of full 6d per cwt ; 1,400 bags have been disposed of by private treaty; good ordinary at 41s 6d to 42s ; fine ordinary mixed 42s 6d. St. Domingo is much wanted, but few parcels are yet to be had ; floating cargoes would find a good market. Of Afri. can 360 bags and 46 casks have been offered at auction and all taken in at 65s for peculiar small berry. Both the stocks and importations of Coffee for exportation only are much larger this year than last, but considerably smaller than in 1838. This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind, and privately the operators were on a small scale, holders how ever were firm. Good Java could not. be obtained under 665, and Ceylon 84s per cwt. The auctions declared are of little moment. A cargo of Domingo is offering afloat at 44s 6d per cwt. TEA.-The market for Free Trade has presented a tranquil appearance since we last wrote, and few purchases have been made, in any description ; holders, however, have displayed firmness, and prices have undergone little variation; in some cases a slight reduction has been sub mitted to for cash, common Congou selling 2s 2d, good blackish leaf 2s 2 d, ord and fair Twankay 2s 2d to 21 2d per lb. Some vessels being near at hand from China, and several public sales being declared, have been the chief causes of the inactivity which has prevailed in the market. The quantity of Tea arrived from Singapore and the Cape of Good Hope during the past week amounts to 14,000 packages. In the speculative market there has been little activity, and Company's Congou has fluctuated between 2s Id to 25 20 cash; but there are no sellers now under 2s 20 per lb. The deliveries of Tea in the United Kingdom for home consumption during the past seven months have not been equal to those of last year during the same period by 2,821,6751b5. The quantity taken for export during the same time has been 1,742,832 lbs ; last year it amounted to 2,993,424 lbs. The deliveries at this port during the past week have amounted to 400,000 lbs. The supply for the season, it is now calculated, will reach 30,000,000 lbs. For auction on Thursday 7,669, and for Friday 5,500 packages are declared, the chief part Congou. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND/1.-Jamaica Rum has been in excellent request, and prices have been firm, 300 puns. have been disposed of since last Tuesday, 30 32 per cent over proof, at 6s 6d to 6s 8d ; 33 37 over proof, 6s 9d to 7s ; fine marks, 7s 2d to 7s 6d; of the latter the supply is short. For Leewards there are few buyers, either for borne use or export, and the sales have been only 150 puns since this day week, strong descriptions have maintained late rates, but ordinary kinds have given way Id per gallon; proofs having been disposed of at 3s 6d, several shipping orders are still unexecuted, the limits being under those which the merchants are disposed to aceept. The principal part of the Rum that will be tendered for the Government contract is East India. The stock is rather larger than last year at this time, the importation, however, has been rather under that of 1839. Brandy has been in good request, prin cipally for shipping, asd prices have improved a little ; purchases in Cognac, first brands of vintage of 1836 have been made 5s 2d to 5s 3d in hhds, puns 5s to 5s Id ; 1827 hhds 55 to ss. Id, puns 4910.1 to 4s 11d ; 1858 With 4s 10 d to 4s I Id, puns 4s 8d to 4s 9d ; 1839 WWI 4s 6d to 4a 7d, puns 4s 5d per gallon, and at these rates holders are firm. Geneva has been in good request for export at 2s to 2s Id. British Spirits have been in excellent request, at 103 3d per gallon. To-day the Rum market was quiet. Jamaica and strone Demerara were held firmly, but proof leewards were offered at 3s 6,1 per gallon. Cocen.-Th e home trade have purchased freely of %Vest India, and prices have further improved 2s to 3s, per cwt; at public sale, 146 barrels and bags Trinidad s%, t d readily at 55s to 57s for low and good red ; 150 bags, mid dling and good red Grenada realized 303 to 443 sier cwt. Foreign is wanted, and Guayaquil would command 37s 6d to 38s, but the supply is small. P ROVISIONS.-A good demand has prevailed for Irish Butter, and prices have been firm ; Limerick has beer, the most in request. The arrivals have been on a more extended scale. Wo quote Carlow landed 92s to 995, Cork 965, Limerick 953 Waterford 94s to 975; on board, Limerick 93 a , Carlo ws 92 to 98s, Waterford 93s to 965. Dutch has sold freely, fine at 102 s to 1043; the supply has Leen rather short. Prices remain high for Bacon, the best qualities being held for Os to 643, but the trade buy with DIRD.
