This afternoon the transactions in Manilla by private not a single instance of intoxication exhibited itself up to ontract were on a small scale, but prices remain firm, this hour; the greatest order pervades the vast assein. and the refiners the chief operators ; there was no public blage. The proceedings excite feelings of great solem sate. Siam sell slowly, but former rates prevail. Java is nity. They seal the doom cf intemperance in Ireland, and held firmly.

COFFEE.-The demand for British Plantation privately has been very limited, and confined principally to the better descriptions, but the supply being small, particularly 1 of the clean sorts, keeps prices from going down. This afternoon there was no improvement in the demand for Coffee for home consumption, by private treaty there was nothing doing, and prices for nearly all descriptions are uncertain in consequence of the late fall in Tea ; at public sale 442 bags Ceylon, 75 bales Mocha, and 226 bags St. Domingo were offered ; the Ceylon was taken in at rather lower rates, viz. good ordinary at 92s to 92; 6d, fine ordinary coloury 955, tine pale 95s to 96:, since which a part of the common lots have been sold at 923; Mocha ) was only part sold 43 under late rates, middling clean garbled small berry greenish went at 1265, rather yellowish ragged 1275; St. Domingo sold at steady rates, viz. good ordinary coloury mixed at 46s to 46s 6d, ordinary mixed 453 per cwt.

For Company's Congou there were few buyers, and prices 4 declined considerably ; at one period on Saturday sales for cash were made at Is 10d, but at the close of the day prices rallied to 2s ; on this day week they left off at 1 2s 4d per lb ; for prompts no price could be named. Yes terday there was a better inclination shown to purchase Tea, a fair business was transacted in Company's Congous, and prices rallied to 2e oid to 2; id for cash ; several par cels of Free Trade Congou and Twankay were disposed of for money at previous rates. Three parties connected with Tea have suspended payment since we last wrote, not being able to stand against the serious fall which ha; taken' place, and which amounts to full 4/ per chest from the highest point of the market. A prompt falls due on the 10th April. The over-land mail is looked for with in tense anxiety by all parties connected with Tea. To-day there was a better inclination to purchase Frce Trade Tea for cash, a good many parcels wets disposed of, and prices are firmer, common Cong, .ti is fetching is lld to 23, and Twankay 2; lid a 23 23 ; at these rates there aro now not many parcels offering. For prompts there arc f w buyers, but prices are firmer than they were on Friday. Company's Congou is in improved request, and prices are looking up; several sales were made for cash at 23 Id, for prompts ; however, no price can yet be MARKET INTELLIGENCE. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Advertiser of this day, reverting again to the momentous question of the Corn-law monopoly, re marks as follows :—" So far as the question itself is con cerned, it may be stated in the plain and simple propo sition—to starve or not to starve ? If this question were proposed to the Members of the Legislature as affecting their own existence, we imagine they would evince but little hesitation in coming to a decision ; but when it is proposed in reference to some hundreds of thousands of operatives, upon whose labours the wealth, the power, and the glory of the nation depend, our Senators appear most conscientiously dubious of the expediency of allowing the hungry free access to the food which Providence offers to their acceptance."—The Morning Chronicle observes, in the course of a leading article on the subject of inquiry into the Corn-laws :—" If the probable promotion of agi tation be an argument against inquiry, it is a much stronger argument for inquiry. The refusal of change, when the case has been fairly gone into; is much less irritating than the refusal to go into it altoge ther. In employing such an argument, it is confessed that the pubic mind is already in a state to require some attention, and that legislators should study how to allay its excitement. But of all strange modes of quieting a petitioning multitude, the strangest is to shut the door in their faces. The process has at least the semblance of in justice and contempt. Or it may be construed as a dogged determination to uphold the exclusive interests of a class at the expense of the community. Were the question put to any dispassionate observer of society, which way is like liest to diminish the existing agitation, the concession or the refusal of inquiry—is there the slightest doubt of his deciding on behalf of investigation? The turmoil so much deprecated is progressive; with every rejection it extends more widely, and penetrates more deeply; every vote against inquiry is a fresh heap of fuel on the flame."— The Morning Herald thus comments on the Duke of Cleveland's remarks on (he Corn-laws last night in the House of Lords—" The Duke of Cleveland, in presenting a petition for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn laws, took occasion, last night, to argue in favour, at least, of a revision 'of these laws. It is melancholy that a man in his Grace's elevated position should permit himself to be deluded by the miserable fallacies of the Anti-Coin-law agitators. His Grace spoke of the prevailing distress amongst the operatives, and of his own unwillingness to derive any increase of income from their misery :—a noble sentiment, undoubtedly, but entirely misapplied in refer ence to the operation of the Corn-laws."—The Morning Post observes, with reference to the Corn-laws :—" If ever one thing wa3 more palpable than another, it is, that Ireland, and especially the south of Ireland, would be to tally ruined by a repeal of the Corn-laws. Owners of land, and persons in trade in that part of the United Kingdom, entirely depend upon the sale of agricultural ' produce in the ports of Lancashire and in Bristol. Suppose this trade transferred to the corn-growers of the continents of Europe and America, every capitalist in the south of reland would sink at once." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (TUESDAY EVENING.) TIM E S.—By the advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 430. per mark, which, at the English Mint price cf SI. 17s. 10.1 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13.7 i, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.61, it follows that gold is 0.47 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than : I .n London. The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1014. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.321, and the ex change at Paris on Loudon at short being 23.30, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. This has been settling day in the Foreign house, and the easiness of money, compared with the demand on the last settling-day, has been the subject of general remark, among the jobbers. The continuation on Spanish Stock has been about 7, and on Dutch about 3 per cent. per annum. There was a good demand on 'Change to-day for Bills on foreign places, and the supply not having been very considerable, a small depression took place in the rates of Exchange on Hamburg and Paris. The price for Am sterdam was not so much affected, though Bills on that place were in request. By the usual official return published by the Customs, the exportation of the precious metals from the port of London to Foreign and Colonial ports for the week ending the 26th of March is as under : Silver bars, to Rotterdam 20,000 coin, to ditto 35,000 coin, t.i Calais lOO,OOO coin, to the Mauritius 16,146 coin, to Belgium 6OO Cold coin, to the Nlauritius 54 SUN.—There were many large public sales of pro duce to-day, but generally speaking the markets were not in the most favourable position. Tea was moi ein demand and a shade dearer. Apprehensions are now entertained in the City, that in consequence of the low figure at which continental Bills of Exchange are now negotiated, we shall shortly have a renewal of bullion shipments, which would again embarrass our merchants. It is hoped, however,. on the other hand, that before matters have proceeded so far, there will be a revival in cur foreign trade, as regards the demand for British manufactures, of which indeed there have been symptoms during the last day or two. The quotation on Paris was 25f. 52. c. to .55c.; on Amsterdam 12 1. 1 : ; and on Hamburg 13 91 The public securities were steady this afternoon—. Consols for Money at 90i and for April at 90,i. The Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities brought 911. The foreign half-monthly settlement occasioned no defalcations up to the close of business to-day, and went off far better than was anticipated, money being easy. Spanish Active Stock closed heavily at 270 ; Portu guese New Five par Cents, at 34i ; Colombian at 25-1-; Brazilian at 78,1; and French Three per Cents, at a fall to 83. The Railway Shares were not so buoyant. named. This afternoon Company's Coogou w as in fair request for cash at 2s. 10, at which there are now few sellers. For Free Trade Tea the demand is improving, but the purchases are still confined to parcels for money. A meet ing. of the Brokers will be held on Monday next, to take into consideration the propriety of Allowing additional time for prties to meet their April prompts, and to postpone the A p ril sale. The report which appeared in the Morn ing l'apers, that a letter had been received from Bom bay sixteen days later than that by the last over-land mail, stating that three ships were loading with Tea at Liatin, and that negotiations were about to commence between the newly appointed Chinese Commissioner and Captain Elliot, cannot be traced to any authentic source, and is not credited in the City. On 'Change sales in Company's Congous were made at 2s ld to 2a lid for cash, and good blackish Free Trade are fetching 2s Id plr lb. The market closed with a much better appearance.

The Anti-Corn-law Delegates yesterday had an interview with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER and the PRESIDENT of the BOARD Of TRADE, both of whom concurred in opinion that the present system of Corn-laws is bad, though they advocate a fixed duty. A fixed duty is not only, as the Manchester men say, a fixed injust ce, but as Lord ASHBURTON says, it cannot be maintained. Moreover, the landlords are against it. We sub scribe to all the arguments which the Duke of RICHMOND and Lord ASIIBURTON used to repu diate it, and could add many more ; but we do not see in what respect the fluctuating scale is superior to a fixed duty. Neither can we comprehend the reluctance of legislators to put an end to an acknow ledged injustice. What is the sense of tolerating half a felony, or substituting a maiming for a mur der ? A law to give wealth to the idle landowners at the expense of the industrious classes, is a posi tive, though a legal robbery, and ought to be instantly abolished. Some landowners see it in this light, and are ashamed of it : " I belong myself to the agricultural community," said Mr. Sharman Crawford, at the Dublin meeting, " being one of that class who are believed to have an interest in the maintenance of these laws—for whom they are supposed to have been made. I have felt it to be my duty to come among my countrymen to show that I am not a co-partner in maintaining those laws. There is a conscience within my breast which tells me I should not take the bread out of the poor man's mouth to fill my own coffers—(Cheers) _and if I did not come forward to get rid of those laws, it would be as bad as if I supported them." Other landlords will also feel it their duty, we are well convinced, to come out from amongst the unjust men " who take the bread out of the poor man's mouth to fill their own coffers." Those who arc opposed to the Corn-laws, like Lord RADNOR, Lord FITZWILLIAM, and the Marquis of WEST MINSTER, will separate themselves from the wicked oppressors of their fellow-countrymen, and refuse to be branded with any part of their dishonour. It is a good sign when some righteous men are found amongst the landowners, and if the Press and the League persevere the victory will be more speedily on the side of the Abolitionists than the croakers imagine. _ _ _ ROYAL OLYMPIC THEATRE.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—After the banquet given by her Majesty on Monday evening, there was a dance, in which her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, Lady Fanny Cooper, the Duke of Devonshire, and other fashionables joined. It was kept up until half-past two yesterday morning. The Queen's chamber musicians played all the new quadrilles. The Venerable Dowager Cour.tess of Cork w:11 entertain the Prince and Princess of Capua, Lord and Lady Dinorben, and a select circle at dinner to-day, in Burlington street. In the evening there will be a select and fashionable addition to the party. The Duke of Rutland will receive a numerous party of friends during the ensuing week, at his princely resi dence, Belvoir Castle. The Croxton Park races commence on Wednesday next, which is rather unfortunate, for the Queen's drawing-room is on the following day, and will probably de prive that isrillit..nt meeting of a portion of the rank and beauty which always characterize those meetings. His Serene Highness Prince Ernest has been obliged to postpone his visit to Badminton. It is said that the exertion of Euglish fox-hunting was found by the Prince to be rather fatiguing, the hunting nn the other side of the Chan nel being chiefly in forests. Our large hedges and ditches are rather startling to those who are not accustomed to them, and if, as we understand, his Highness has come home minus a front tooth from the sports at Deene, we do not wonder at his requiring a little rest.— Morning Herald.

Again the Corn-laws were the subject of a brief dis cussion in the House of Lards last night on the pre sentation of petitions, and the Duke of RICHMOND. annoyed no doubt by the exhibition of the agricultural labourers before the Delegates, tried indirectly to ob viate the effects of that striking evidence, by quoting the increased number of Savings' Banks depositors. He did not say how many of them were agricul tural labourers, nor how many were " flunkies,' and other ministers to the luxury of the aristocracy, who, no doubt, thrive amidst the ruin of industry. Several Noble Lords took part in the brief debate, and the Duke of CLEVELAND professed himselt favourable to an alteration of the law. The Kni. of ABERDEEN announced his inteaticn to bring in, after Easter, as the Ministers had declined, a Bill for settling the Intrusion Question in the Church of Scotland. A short debate also took place on the Canada Clergy Reserves. The Bishop of ENETER, in moving for some papers on that subject, attacked, as is his wont, an absent man —the Governor-General of Canada, obtain ing nothing by his motion, but an addition to the noto riety he already enjoys. The papers, with the excep tion of the legal opinions of law-officers, were granted.

The question of Privilege was again brought before the House by the ATTORNEV-GENERAL in the absence of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The SERGEANT•AT.ARMS stated that four of the Nlessemzcr: had been served with a notice of action by Mr. Howanu, and the AT TORNEY-GENERAL moved that leave be Avert to them to appear and defend the action. Lord HONVICK and Mr. O'CONNELL spoke against this course as degrading to the House, but the motion was carried by 142. to 51. Mr. BULLER obtained a body of returns relative to the labours of the Charity Commissioners, and calcu lated to throw light on them ; and Mr. PagiNGToN a return of the different bodies of Christians entitled to the Clergy Reserves in Canada under the Bill of the Assembly. A short debate took place on the motion to read Mr. PAKINGTON ' S Beer Bill a second time, which was sup- As a great deal is still said about cheap corn lowering wages, we will add one word on that point. The abolition of the Corn-laws will have no effect on this year's crops. Whatever they may amount to, that quantity will be increased by what is brought from abroad, in consequence of the abolition of the Corn-laws. Who is to eat the increased quantity. The landowners have food enough, the parsons have enough, the middle-classes generally have enough, and, consequently, all the additional quantity would go to the now under-fed labourers. There is no other class to consume it, and that additional quantity would fall to the labourers in the shape of increased wages. Would the quantity decrease next year ? The landlords say Yes, the land would go out of culti vation. Why ? The landlords would still want as much rent as they could get, the farmers as much profit, and the labourers as much wages. All the motives which now exist to cultivate the land would then exist, and would probably be strengthened by the competition of other farmers. The fall in the price would cause a corresponding diminution in the expense of cultivation, for, in no business, in proportion to the capital employed, is so much paid for wages as i❑ farming. To tell us, then, that the land would go out of cultivation next year is a mere bugaboo, by which it is sought to frighten the Legislature from doing what is right. We say, too, in the language of Scripture, sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. Let the morrow, and still more, let the next year take care of itself. But an infallible means to save the land from going out of cultivation is to make it over to those agri cultural labourers who now pay -'twice as much rent as is paid by farmers for the allotments they cultivate. So will the land not go out of cultiva tion, and so, if the Corn-laws be abolished, will the harvest of every year be increased, like the har vest of this year, by corn imported from abroad ; wages will continue to rise, and the nation will prosper and be contented. The Afoniteur of Monday, which we have received, together with the other Paris Journals of the same date, publishes the following telegraphic despatches, bringing the latest news from Africa : " Toulon, March 29.—Cherchel, 15th. " MARSHAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The army took possession of Cherchel to-day, The enemy did not offer any serious resistance, either on ti e plains of the Metidjah or on the mountains which surround Cherchel." " Toulon, March 29.—Algiers, 22, 6 P. M. " MARSHAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The expeditionary corps returned from Cherchel the 2lst, to the upper camp of Blidah, without having an; combat to sustain. The weather has become very bad, and prevents any further movements for the present." " Toulon, March 29. " THE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE MARINE On the 12th the Spahis of Oran and a battalion of the Ist regiment of the line having made a sortie from Mizerghin, had to sustain, at half a league from the camp, an obstivate conflict, from ten in the morning till five in the afternoon, with several thousands of Arabs, who cam, to carry off the cattle of the Douairs. Our loss was 41 killed and 51 wounded. That of the enemy is estimated at 400 killed. We remained masters of the field of battle. The Commandant of the Marine at Algiers announces the voluntary surrender of Collo." The Toulon papers publish the following : fl The Duke of Orleans is to arrive here on the .stii of April, when everything connected with the grand expedi tion against Abd-el-Kader must be ready for sea. The Duke of Orleans will be accompanied by his brothers, the Prince de Joinville and thepuke d' Aumale. The steamers are getting ready for the voyage of the Princes." A letter from Toulon, published by the Constitution nel of Monday, says that reinforcements are going to be sent direct to Oran. Marshal VALLEE not being able to detach troops from his army on its march, it seems that the 6th Regiment of Light Infantry, in garrison at Toulon, the 3lst of the Line, at Marseilles, ,and the 13th of Light Infantry, at Perpignan, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to de part for the province of Oran. These forces. it is said. are to be divided into two active columns, one of 5,000 men at Oran, and the other of 3,000 men at Mostaganen. It is reported that CABRERA intends visiting Mont. pellier for the benefit of his health. Being no stranger .o the efficacy of money, lie will come well provided ,vith Spanish dollars, and accompanied by the mlnbcrs of his family. The Car ists have seized another Spanish vessel laden with wool on the coast of Valencia. The French Papers say that arrests have taken place at Strasburg, in consequenee of an attempt to smuggle muskets across the frontier. The persons implicated ,re supposed to be Bonapartists. Letters from Bucharest, of the 9th ult., state that a Company is forming at Galatz for clearing away the obstructions to the navigation of the mouths of the Danube. The want of such a Company has been long very severely felt. Messrs. Lauron and Mieville, book sellers, who publicly sold at Kiew books which are in cluded in the Russian Index Prohibitorunt, have been banished from Russia. The attempt of the Servian Government to surprise Prince Michael on his return from Constantinople, with a small corps of new regular troops, has failed. The above includes the only news of any interest, not only in the French Papers of Monday, but in the German and Brussels Papers received this morning.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT, WARtvwx, lIIARcu 30. THE QUEEN V. MAY. This was an indictment which charged the defendant, who is the superintendent of the A division of the metropolita n police force,with having neglected his duty, whereby serious disorders had arisen and much property been destroyed- Our readers will tot have forgotten th t riots which took place in the July of last year in the town of Birmingham. To saeh a height had the evil grown that it was resolved an application should be made to the Secretary of State for a division of the London police force. The request being c ;mplied with, Superintendent May, with a chosen set of men, went down to Birmingham. This wes on the 4th °f July, and on the evening of that very day a serious collision took place between the mob assembled in the Bull-ring and the police, in which much serious injury was done to both parties. Things went on after this pretty smoothly, a° much so that it was thought advisable to send some of the Po 'icemen bade again to London, and on the evening of the 15th of July the defendant himself had been about to quit for the metro t tolis, when, however, certain information that he re ceived prevented him. On the evening of that day a riot took place in the Bull-ring, several houses were fired, particularly that of Mr. Bourn, the corner of Moore-street, when properti of that gentleman's to the amount of 11,0001. was destroyed, and for which he has since recovered a verdict against the hun dred, and it was for neglect of duty in not bringing his men out to act against the mob on the night in question, before these proceedings assumed the formidable character they afterward s did, and which, if he had done, it was alleged the injury never wood have occurred, that the present indictment was laid. Mr. BALGUY, on the part of the defendant, described thia as one of the most impudent prosecutions that had ever dam' graced a Court of Justice. Verdict of " Not Guilty." THE MARKETS.-(THI6 DAY.)

CA PE TOW N. —Owing to the spread of the small pox, nearly all the population has been, or will speedily be vaccinated. Arrivals from Gibraltar in the French Papers, received this morning, state that, in the month of February, a mass of Arabs from the interior made an irruption into Tangiers; these men, who were armed, spread themselves through the town, and insulted the Christians, who were forced to barricade themselves in their houses. The Council General of France took all ,ire cautions to put the property of the French in safety, as well as their persons. All the houses of the Consuls were damaged by balls, although the Arabs did not attempt to force an entrance. The Consul-General of Sweden had his ear grazed by a ball. This state of things lasted for eight days. The Great Western steamer is expected at Bristol to-mor row or Friday.

The former contains a sport of a public meeting at Shellenbosih for the purpose of taking into consideration the question in respect to the want of labourers for agriculture. The first resolution was, that at the meeting of the Council of the 13th inst., the general existing want of labourers and h an d s f or the agricultural labour has. been denied by the Honourable 11r. Cloate In the Graham's Town Papers it is stated that in consequence of the report from Cape Town respecting the small pox, great uneasiness prevailed there also among the inhabitants, owing to a report that the disease had reached the frontier; but being informed by their worthy Magistrate that there was not the least foundation for the report, the agitation began to subside. Two ships had art ived at the cape from China, one, the John Horton, having un board 3,136 boxes of tea, and the Frederick Hirth, her cargo net mentioned; both are English ships, one bound to LOndon and the other to Liverpool. Au order was issued at Graham's Town by the Collector of the Customs to all persons to deliver up negroes landed by the ship Escorpaso, and all negroes who May he sick were to be received et all hours during the clay, either at the old mili tary hospital, or at the Goverutnent Free School. In respect to the operations in the various funds, as well as commercial transactions, we continue in tha same dull state as in the early part of the morning, and to the present hour we cannot quote a feature in either of the mullets worth observa tion, and there does not appear least spirit for sp ecu l a ti ng either in the British or Fmaigo Markets. There is no ac counting for this state of Inactivity, as money appears to be easy in the British Market.

Mr. Royse was at home at the time, and, theugh totally unprepared at that early hour for such a visit, he attempted resistance, but in vain, and in doing so was wounded, whether severely or not we are unable to learn, The fellows then succeeded in getting several stand of arrus, with which they deparivo. We are not able to get the full particulars in blue for post : the above, however, are the main facts. They retreated towards Kill:! , ,reedy, in which dire':;tion they were pursued by the pollee, hut unsuccessfully. We trust, now that the tl4ugcr is eoming home to the resident Magistrates and cientry, they will at last take some effectual steps to plink the rapid spread of outrage in this county, main tain and enforce the law, and procure some protection for life and property.
