A statement has reached us of the proceedings of a German Railway Company in effecting a contract for rail road iron, which requires immediate publicity to put the tirade in this country on their guard against the possibility of its repetition. It appears that the company in question requested tenders for 8,000 tons of railway iron, and in con seqUence, received tenders from three parties in England at the respective prices of 101. 10s., IC!. 55., and 101. per ton on the faith, as is the pra :tice with us, of the parties being equally situated as competitors. Instead of this, however, the contract was not only not completed with the party of feringM_ at the lowest price, b u t it i s a ll ege d th a t th e b oar d o f Z7 e tcra, without communi ca ti ng w ith th e E ng li s h h ouses special nose proposals, it must be observed, had resulted from a r, quest s agent ) , made use of their lowest offer to induce the b - 77 3.

The melancholy fact of the onerous character of the burdens, the heavy interest payable by the Irish land lords as a body, the sad result of their own or their predecessors' extravagances and imprudence, does not require the confirmation of official returns to obtain easy credence. It is a well-known fact that from five to six millions of pounds sterling are required to keep down the annual interest of the encumbrances affecting real property in Ireland, which, as the average interest of money in that country may be reckoned at five per cent. per annum, would show from one hundred to one hundred and twenty millions sterling as the amount of debts, the repay ment of which is secured on the land of that country. We do not think that the Noble Lord would have made the sad reality more certain, if he had obtained the information he required. In the first place, he would only have the rental of the lands which are already under the control of the Court of Chancery, but he should not thereby be enabled to state what portion of the rental was applicable to the purposes of the present owners, after providing for the payment of the annual charges; and, secondly, he would know nothing of the cases where the proprietor still received his own rents, and devoted a large por tion thereof to the satisfaction of the accruing interest on the charges; where the encumbrancers were satisfied to leave the collection in his hands without having re course to the machinery of the Court of Chancery. Whatever legislation may be contemplated on the facts desired to be proved by those returns may fairly be introduced on the universally-admitted state of things. Perhaps, among the many causes that have contri buted to the lamentable condition of our sister king dom, few have had a greater effect in producing that result than the embarrassments and pecuniary diffi culties of the proprietors of the soil, coupled with the strict settlements and entails, and the other laws by which the free disposal and transfer of property in land was fettered and restrained. The apparent pos sessor was not really the owner, nor could he deal with the property in that capacity. The nominal owner of extensive districts and wide-spread domains had a large and showy rent-roll, but in reality a small income. He was little better than the agent, the trustee of others. He could not maintain his position in society on the small balance remaining for his use ; after providing for the necessary payments, he found debts accumulating which he could only satisfy by insuring his life and mortgaging his estate for life. His own necessities prevented him from expending any sum of money on improvements, no matter how beneficial they might be, or how ample the return of which they might give reasonable expectation. He could not sell or dispose of any portion of the property, no matterhow greatly its alienation might enhance the value of the remainder. In fact, although differing in name, he differed little in character from the middle man, the monster grievance of Ireland. Like him, he was obliged, by any; means, to increase his present rental, to extort the highest possible amount from the occupiers, to let to the person who would assure the highest rent, without re gard to his character or prospects of payment. If lands were out of lease the rental was increased to the utmost possible degree, or the tenant displaced in order to make room for a new occupier, who would promise a larger payment; thus the occupier had no certainty or security of tenure, the lands remained unimproved, and the greater portion of the kingdom presented the melancholy appearances of neglect and bad cultivation'which have attracted so much attention and given occasion to so many well-founded corn plaints. What then is the remedy to be adopted ? What palliative can be found by which the disease may be removed, or even mitigated ? Simply this—that every facility must be given to the free transfer of land, that so much of it as may be necessary to satisfy the encumbrances affecting it should as speedily as possible be brought to the hammer. Make it an article of free sale, and reduce the expenses of transfer to a reasonable and moderate amount. Sim plify the laws relating to real property, and make such arrangements as will give: full security of tile; cut off entails and settlements; or, at least let them affect the purchase-money in place of the land itself. That purchase-money may be placed in the funds, or on other good and sufficient secu rities, and subjected to the trusts that theretofore ap plied to the land. The greatest blessing that can be conferred upon a nation—a solvent and unember- rinsed proprietary—will be obtained. If the land could be conveyed, and a good and perfect title as- sured to the purchasers, there are numbers of persons with sufficient capital ready to bid for all that may be brought into the market. The supply cannot ex- teed the demand so as unduly to depreciate the value of the commodity in the market. Even the unencumbered proprietor will frequently find it his interest to sell a part to improve the rest of his pro ... _ perty ; and the soil of the country will pass into the hands of those who have the capital and ability to manage it with the greatest advantage to them selves and to their country. A very prevalent, and we might almost say a per fectly unanimous, feeling is abroad, that it were more in accordance with the character hitherto assumed by our Government to allow the official correspondence relating to the Montpensier marriage to terminate with the last communication received at the Foreign Office from M. GUIZOT. The advisability of this i abstinence from further diplomatic retorts is obvious. The Ministers of a great nation are neither to be the by a f a l se punct ili o, nor are t h ey to y i e ld to master passion of viragoes, namely, a fretful determination "to have the last word." Every dispassionat e an d intellig ent man recognises the truth of thes e principles of adm in istration , dispassi onate and intelligent the corr es p on d ence i n teuigentm a a n a d acknowledgesconsequently the ad v i sa bi l i ty of dropp ing eTgr di plomatic the ac comp li s h ment o f that very ordinary trick a question, and thereby pr legerdemain_ the transform a ti on of a bund le of opportune No for letters into some thing more d angerous than wastepaper. moment could possibly be more our withdrawal from the epistolary squabble here- tofore maintained with the unconscientious leader of the Cabinet of the Tuilleries. Nothing whatever can be obtained advantageous to the interests of Great Britain byexposing still further the contemptible sophis tries ofa shameless statesman. Lord PALMERSTON might double the extent of his masterly documents, illus trative of the Spanish policy adopted by the present Administration, without divulging the chicaneries of M. GuizoT in a more conspicuous light, or without rendering one jot more apparent the baseness and juggling of that accomplished parasite. The merits of this extraordinary misunderstanding between England and France can scarcely be un folded more entirely than they are already, and, therefore, a cessation from a correspondence that has become, not merely superfluous, butliterally hazardous, is manifestly the only rational course to be pursued. Before the matter is brought to this comparative settlement, it were reasonable, however, to enume rate the evils which have arisen indirectly and directly from the selfish encroachments of King Louis PHILIPPE and the accommodating morality of his truckling Minister. It were well to see the fruits which have been already gathered from these sown seeds of international jealousy, and to form some estimate of the pernicious consequences which are always inevitable from a similar dereliction of all the most sacred duties of statesmanship. In Spain herself the harvest of troubles resulting from this incongruous alliance are even now being rapidly gathered in ; the confidence of the population in their rulers has been shaken to its foundation with so much violence that the powerful Cabinet of IsTuulTz has been utterly subverted, and considerable difficulty is experienced in constructing a new Administration from its debris. Insomuch have these difficulties accumulated round the Palace of ISABELI A, that the efforts of CASA IRUJO to form a Government have proved altogether ineffectual, and it is somewhat doubtful whether CASTRO I ORozco will be enabled to collect into one compact body so many hetero geneous statesmen. But, apart from the considera tions of the obstacles existing to the establishment of an Executive in the Peninsula, the whole frame work of Spanish society has been thrown into con fusion by the dastardly concessions of the rejected Afrancesados ; the moral influence of ISABELLA over her subjects is almost wholly eradi dicated from the hearts of the people, and the multi tude look with suspicion both upon her pageantries and her seclusion. In Portugal, again, the evil con sequences of this introduction of Gallic power into the Peninsula has been significantly experienced upon her eastern frontiers, while DIETZ has fomented those unconstitutional animosities in the heart of the king dom. It is unnecessary to trace the direct connexion existing between the espousal of the INFANTA and the incorporation of Cracow. It is equally superfluous to specify the rupture of the entente cordiale solely in consequence of the execrable duplicity of the Prench Government. By the binding of that marriage knot all the holiest bonds of amity between nation and nation were loosened. We suspect that King LOUIS PHILIPPE and his s ami liar M. GUIZOT will ultimately find themselves in the position of the gluttonous cur in IEsoP, who loses the substance in snapping at the shadow. In legisla tion, as well as in the marts of commerce, to the statesman and the sovereign, as well as to the pedlar and the costermonger, the venerable adage is under all circumstances applicable, "Honesty is the best policy." GUIZOT is finding this out already in the execration with which his hypocrisy is regarded by the more sensible among his fellow-countrymen. Louis PHILIPPE'S turn will follow. The moral laws are inexorable in their fulfilment. Time may elapse to lull the anxieties of the credulous, but ultimately there is certain to come the retribution, and the very procrastination of that retribution renders it on its arrival only the more awful and overwhelming. The recent calamities of Spain have each its NEMESIS, and the swords of those avengers will descend together. We inserted yesterday another letter from Mr. RIGBY WASON to Lord Joni; RUSSELL, upon the subject of waste lands in Ireland. The writer notices with satisfaction that the Government plan which has been propounded upon this momentous question is identical, in all its outlines, with the suggestions which he recently submitted, through our columns, in a series of letters to the Premier. We have our selves some reason to rejoice at this coincidence, in asmuch as we earnestly took the lead in support ing Mr. RIGBY WASON'S views, conceiving that they were the soundest of any which were being con stantly thrown out for the consideration of Govern ment, with the view of raising agriculture in Ireland from its present depressed condition. Moreover, the vast good which this gentleman had effected on his own property in Scotland, to an extent of some miles, under the auspices of the very system which he strenuously urged the Administration to adopt, increased our confidence in his every recomme nda tion—Experto crede. The object of Mr. IL Wit sox s last communication is to except to a matter of detail in Lord J. RUSSELL'S scheme, but which is, nevertheless, one of essential importance. It is officially proposed to divide the unreclaimed land into holdings of not less than twenty-five, nor more than fifty acres. The question of what shall be the maximum and mini mum size of the farms in Ireland is the most interest ing one that can be entertained in reference to her agricultural improvement. It cannot be too delibe rately canvassed in all its bearings, for, it is beyond all doubt, that a great portion of the agrarian dis turbances, and of the other social evils of Ire land, are to be attributed to the prevalence of the cottier system. The mode in which a considerable quantity of the Irish soil, for the most part miserably cultivated, has been, as it were, infi nitessimally partitioned by the tenantry, despite of the will of their helpless landlords, it is matter of noto riety has been prolific of pernicious consequences. The art of husbandry has completely decayed beneath its blighting influence, and demoralisation has been engendered to a frightful extent. The springs of human energy have been dried up, and a spirit of self-reliance, the great pivot on which national inde pendence rests, is unknown to the great body of the Irish peasantry. Small possessions, then, have, be yond controversy, constituted the chief bane of Ire land's prosperity. We know by experience in Eng land and Scotland, that diminutive farms, are most undesirable; their disadvantages must be greatly augmented in a country where there are no manufactures, furnishing channels of employment for redundant labour. Taught by the past the im policy of the cottier system, we ought to be exceed ingly provident of not permitting the new farms, intended to be carved out of the unredeemed land, to be of such inferior dimensions as to render them inci dental to the propagation of the evils the effects of which we have now so bitterly to deplore. ta addi tion to this, we must be careful to give every (facility to the tenantry for obtaining a tenure of a secure and simple description. The great desideratum in Ireland is to create a body of proprietors who shall become permanent employers of labour at remuu urative wages. We consider that we shall come far short of this object; indeed, we doubt if we should in any wise compass it with the limitation of acres proposed by the Government. Our hope is, however, th at the question will again undergo the deliberate reflection of the Cabinet. Lord J. RUSSELL does not thittk the small holdings have been injurious, because, in Ar magh, the most prosperous and best cultivated county in Ireland, the greatest division of land exists.. But the statistics which Mr. R. WAsoN has pre seated, and the reasoning he has advanced upon them,. strike us as being subversive of the foundations on •which ;ha head of the Government rests his cone] U 3 ions, Out of the 685,389 farms into which Ireh tna is divided, 636,997 are under 30 acres, and only 4`,8,312 above that number. Under five acres we fin d the large figure of 306,915. The cottier system is uni versally condemned. It seems a contradiction, t.;bize fore, to appeal to Ulster, where it is most exte us ive. This province, compared with Munster, has rtet Orly double the number of cottier holdings from one to five acres; and were it not that Armagh is the cei atre of the linen trade, Ulster would no doubt have; had the same sad experience which has inseparably aco m panied the dwarfish division of territory in the otl ler provinces. "If, therefore," shrewdly observes. 11r. R. WASON, " the prosperity of Ulster is not endiroly reland th owing to another cause —that of the linen tr surely our duty would be to assimilate the r est of Ireland with n th um at b o e f r U of ls c t o e t r ti , earndhoinldcirnegassefrasommto au tch possible o to five acres; and if Munster, with so large a relative proportion of farms from 15 to 30 acres, be the least prosperous and worst cultivated provir.ce in Ireland, what can justify dividing the waste lands into a minimum of 25 acres and a maximum of 50 acres ?" Again, it is evident that the greater the number of farms we propose to create, the extra expenses for barn building, road and fence making, will increase in a heavy proportion. Therefore, as well upon this as the other points to which we have referred, we trust the Government will well consider whether their scheme would not be far more beneficial by limiting the farms in contemplation to an average much beyond the size to which they have hitherto, in Par liament, expressed themselves to be favourable. Advices from Frankfort state that the Northern Powers have taken such offence at the Speech of King Lours PHILIPPE in opening the Chambers, that they hare relinquished the intention they had intimated to him of acknowledging the Queen of SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 25th ult. have arrived. It appears that the cause of the failure of the Duke of SoromAyou in the construction of a Ministry, was the objection entertained by himself and Senor BRAVO MURILLO to entrusting the Portfolio of the Interior to Senor PIDAL, without whom Senor MoN declared he would not take office. The Deputies sat on the 25th, but Senor SEIJAS, who presided, adjourned the sitting in consequence of the absence of a Ministry. Senor CASTRO Y Oaozco, has taken upon himself the task of constructing a Cabinet, has presented to her MAJESTY two programmes, one of concession, the other of resistance. Senor PACHECO has suggested the first, and Senor BRAVO MURILLO the second. The proceedings against the young persons concerned in the riots near Pampeluna show that the youths were actuated by no political motive. They merely resisted the system of military recruiting, and as their friends have provided substitutes for them, tranquillity in Na varre has been completely restored. MADRID BouLt, JAN. 25.—Threes, 31i ; Fives, 20i 15-16. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Ministerial journals publish the reply of M. GUIZOT to the last dispatch of Lord PALMERSTON, which the Debats hopes may terminate the correspon dence. Towards the conclusion of its observations on the dispatch the Debats has the following remarkable paragraph, which, as the article evidently emanates from the hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, may be taken as an admission on the part of M. Gunor of the entire truth of the statements of the Marquis of NOR MANBY ; a confession on the part of the French Minister that he knowingly and wilfully acted with bad faith towards the English Ministry and the English Ambas sador, and an attempt to excuse rather than to justify his bad faith by the unblushing reiteration of a twenty times-refuted falsehood:— " There remains but one word more to say about the dis pute which the English portion of the correspondence has given rise to among the French papers. It appears to us that there is a great mistake as to the degree of confidence the English Ambassador might have a right to expect on the part of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs. The reasoning is quite as if M. Guizot was bound to take Lord Normanby for his 'confident.' This is a complete misap prehension of the nature of the relations that could exist, under, such circumstances, between the two Governments. The English Ministry had changed; there were all sorts of reasons to believe that the English policy had also changed. Without assuming towards the new Ministry a hostile atti tude (which he has at no period done), M. Guizot would have acted very inconsiderably (legereinent) if he had not kept towards them in a certain 'reserve.' Even if this re serve had not been justilieffby the recollections connected with certain names, it would have been commanded by the position which the representatives of a foreign Government appear to have assumed. It is a justice due to the journals which have attacked the Government's policy, that they have not even taken the trouble of dissembling the source whence they derived their principal arguments. We know not whether those to whom this apparent connivance is, perhaps erroneously, imputed, must be rendered responsible for it; but surely it was enough to render the reserve, which was already the French Government's right, likewise a duty." On this paragraph we will make but a short comment. There is a vast difference between refusing a man your confidence and, under pretence of admitting him to your confidence, telling him that which is not the truth. The man who adopts the first ' course may perchance be honest, but he who adopts the last must be dishonest. All who have read the correspondence will know in which category to place M. GIIIZOT. The Gauche and the Centre Gauche are now com pletely re-united, and at meetings held on Wednesday and Thursday, to agree upon the course to bepursued in the debate on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies, it was determined to oppose, by all lawful means, the " opprobious system which, at home and abroad, endan gers the prospects of France, and corrupts public mo rality." The French Government steamer Etna was wrecked at Tenea on the 20th, crew and passengers saved. Count D'HAUSSONVILLE, the son of the Due DR BROGLIE, has left Paris for London on a particular mission. The food riots still continue, and as a proof of the serious nature of these disturbances, we may mention the fact, that the Government have just demanded, avowedly with a view of preventing the occurrence of more serious commotions, an additional force of 182 brigades of horse, and 59 of foot gendermerie, and 10,000 men of the line.

WEDNESDAY, NOT. 25 . — Information reached town that most of the Farmerfield cattle had been taken by Kafirs during the past night—out of the kraals. A party from Farmerfield immediately went in pursuit of the marauders, and the Commandant here sent a party of the Sporting Club, under Mr. W. Stubbs, also in pursuit of them . , Mr. Penny, jun. , of Salem, was fired u p on b y Kafirs .as.he was looking for some oxen near a drift in the Assegai river, in the neighbourhood of that village. The ball perforated the brim of his hat, and he escaped without further injury. THURSDAY. —Report received of the wreck of the Albatross, a schooner of 20 tons, chartered by Llessrs. Cawood, for the purpose of attempting to land supplies at the Fish River mouth. We have no fall particulars of this disaster. It appears that after crossing the bar she was steered on shore by mistake, but that this mischief would have been produc tive of no serious accident had not a hurricane arisen on the following day, and driven the vessel on the rocks. A great part of the cargo will probably be saved. Faraar.—Received news from Colonel Somerset's division This officer, it appears, has lately captured 1,800 head of cattle beyond the Keiskamma, killing thirteen of the enemy and losing two privates of his own regiment, who were not, however, killed in action, but in consequence of some irregularity of conduct on their part A train of mule and horse waggons narrowly escaped falling into the hands of the enemy while proceeding from Fort Peddie with supplies for Col Colonel Somersets camp. These waggons were very insufficiently guarded, and when the convoy arrived at the Keiskamma drift, a large body of armed Kafirs were seen on the opposite side, who dared them to ladvance, and then the waggons were hastily driven back to Fort Peddie, where they arrived safe. This might have been a little Burn's Hill affair. Th e rule of experientia docet seems without application here ..... Learned that the Farmerfield people had recovered their cattle near Blue Krantz, on the road to Bathurst. It appears that only three Kafirs were seen, two of whom were shot. . . . We are sorry to learn that two out of three messengers employed to bring dispatches to his Excellency from the Government agent in Kreli's country, Mr. W. Fynn, were shot by a party of burghers as they were cross ing the Kei, being taken, it is supposed, for hostile Kafir's. One man crossed with great difficulty, after concealing him self for many hours amongst the rushes growing in the river, and succeeded in reaching his destination with a part of the dispatches. SATURDAY.—Report made that Mr. Maloney's cattle had been captured near Howison's Poort. MONDAY.—A shocking murder was wantonly and pub licly committed in High- street, Graham' s Town, yester day evening. The murderer is a young Hottentot , in the employ of Mr. Ogilvie. The man, it seems, was standing in the street with his gun loaded, and was speaking te two Hottentot girls, who were in charge of two little children belonging to Mr. E. Philipp s, to one of whom he made a prop osal which ou her d eclinin g to acce p t, he levelled his gunand threatened to shoot her. The children on seeing him raise his gun, immediately ran off—the eller ore, a boy of a b ou t f our y ea rs of age, leading the younger. The man fi re d, an d th e ball passing through the shoulder of one of the girls, who was killed on th e s p ot, struck the othe r , who, after lingering a short time, also expired. The man is in custody From Colonel Somerset's camp there is news up to yesterday, on which day Umlaala arrived with some of hi s followers. Of the object of h is visit we are n et in fo frmed .....

It appears that seven cattle only are missing, and th a t th e party found several naked foot-prints in the direction which the cattle had taken, but the spoor of both cattle and men was soon lost, bang ob literated by the tramping of sheep that were grazing there. . . . On Saturday there were no vessels in Waterloo Bay—neither the Chieftain nor Matilda bad returned. TuEsrm—We are sorry, but not surprised, to learn that Sir A. Stockenstrom has resigned his appointment of Com mandant-General of the Burgher Forces On Friday a Hottentot was brutally murdered by Kafirs near Fort Beaufort. The unfortunate man was herding cattle, and whilst in this occupation he appears to have been seized and tied, and brutally stabbed to death. Some of the cattle were driven off by the authors of this bar barous outrage . . . . We have received copies of the resolutions lately passed at a public meeting held at Fort Beaufort on the subject of raising a Parliamentary Agent Fund, which want of space prevents us from publishing this week. The names of the branch committee chosen to carry this purpose into effect are Messrs. B. D. Bell, R. J. Painter, A. White, W. T. Cope, and W. Stanton. . . . .

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was without animation. Sales, 3,000 bales, of which 1,500 were American on speculation, at about previous rates. Shares were rather flat again. There are advices of a few days' later date from the Cape of Good Hope, viz., to December 5. The Kafir war seems to have been virtually at an end, although thera was no official announcement of peace having been concluded. The Rev. Henry Calderwood had been appointed Commissioner for the Gaika tribes in British Kafirland, and as this would necessitate a residence in the country of our late enemies, it was presumed that the appointment would be permanent, and that the Governor expected to establish his authority without further opposition. Since the surrender of Macemo, and the communication carried on with Sandilla and Botman, the people were more submissive, and had retired from a con siderable part of the country which they were informed was to be constituted British territory. In the Gaika districts, which, it is said, are to be called British Kafirland, many of the natives were actively cultivating their gardens, and the women were employed in providing firewood and other necessaries for our camp, so great was the feeling of security and satisfaction engendered by the moderation in victory of the English troops. At the same time every effort was made to instil into the minds of the Kafirs the penalty incurred by unjustifiable ag gression, and they are stated to be sensible of the blame justly ascribable to them. The Governor was drawing his forces together, so as, if necessary, to exhibit an imposing appearance, and in the settlement of the new boundary was quite unfettered by any conditions made with the chiefs. In a report of the Bristol Market a fall in the price of sugar of 2s. per cwt. from the highest point, ten days since, is noticed, and an advance of 2s. per gallon in rum, not a puncheon remaining in first hands. The English Securities have been further depressed again to-day. The debates in Parliament last night upon the af fairs of Ireland are still looked upon as being unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the method by which Government intends to raise the funds for supplying food and work is left entirely untouched. We find the belief pretty general, that when the money comes to be raised, capitalists, knowing the matter has been pushed off until the last moment, will make the Government pay dearly for the accommodation—more so than would be the case were a loan at once taken, or an issue of bills effected. At the same time, we should be sorry to encourage jobbing, and if the supplies can be raised more cheaply by the crea tion and subsequent funding of bills, all the better. Tinker ing in finance should ever be avoided, and the promptest measures are sometimes the best, and especially should be so now, when the Bank of England is itself likely to require its funds, and the usual reserve of public deposits, to keep the currency in a sound condition. Consols have ruled at 90% to 90% for transfer and 90% to 907 i for time, having been yesterday morning to % per cent. above these rates. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been marked 92% %, and the Three per Cents. 90 3 / 4 to 91. Bank Stock is heavy at 203 to 204, and Exchequer-bills have receded to 6s. and 3s. premium. The Foreign Bonds have been exceedingly dull. Spanish Five and Three per Cents. have not been dealt in, the un settled state of the Ministry at Madrid not affording a guide to either Bulls or Bears. Mexican Stock is flat at 21%. Brazil Bonds have been at 85. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are worth 58. Shares have had a heavy appearance, and the dealings in them have been mostly at lower rates, where the least dis position to press sales has been manifested. BRITISU FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK.

MARK ET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL. SUGAIL—Of British Plantation only a small quantity has been sold, but a gain on rather lower terms. The public sales have contained 140 hhds Barbadoes, 100 tierces Demerara, 850 bag; Nat dins, 8,900 bags Bengal, and 5,050 bags Madras, the whole of which went off heavily, and only partly sold at a decline of tid to Is on the Bengal, and is to 2s on the Madras ; the British Plantation and the Mauritius were chiefly withdrawn, holders not being inclined to submit to the reduction. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 1,317 hhds 154 tres 341 brls, and there wore taken for home consumption 766 hhds 47 trcs 352 brls. The stock in the same places is 3,326 hhds 321 trcs 853 brls. Conlic.-880 bags Ceylon, consisting of fine ord British Plantation kind, realised very full prices, viz., 59s to 69s for fine ord grey, and 74s per cwt for pea berry. RUM.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks, was 137 puns 5 hhds. There were taken for home consumption 110 puns 45 hlids; and exported 107 puns 22 hhds.

ToniCco.—During the past month prices generally have remained steady, and holders do not submit to a further reduction. The sales have been large, viz., 1,750 hhds. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House of Lords sat to-day for the first time this session to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and the Bishop of St. Asaph. COLE V. SEWELL. This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland (Sir E. Sugden) dismissing the bill filed by the plaintiff for the purpose of a partition and allotment to him of an estate called Daly or Quanabury, situate in the county of Galway. The case, which is one purely depending upon dry points of law, appears likely to occupy their Lordships a day or two. Mr. Turner and Mr. Malins appear for the appellant, and Mr. Tinny and Mr. Shapter are counsel for the respondent. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE CHANCELLOR or ENGLAND.) His JJonour the Vice-Chancellor of England sat in his Court in Lincoln's Inn to-day, and heard motions, but no case of any interest occurred during the morning. COURT OF REVIEW.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir J. K. Bnucz.) His Honour sat to-day in Lincoln's Inn-fields, and was occupied in hearing bankrupt petitions. WEBSTER V. ACRAMAN. This was an appeal from the decision of the Commissioners of Bankruptcy, and praying to be permitted to claim for a larger sum than was granted against the estate of the bank rupt. Mr. Russell and another Learned Gentleman appeared in support of Mr. Swanston and Mr. Selwyn against the petition. The 'case was of no general interest, and his Hosoua confirmed the decision, dismissing the petition with costs. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Mr. Justice Elan and Common Juries.) COUNSEL AND TIIEIR CLIENTS.—BENNETT V. HARTIL AND CO. This case was the second in the list, and was called on im• mediately after the sitting of the Court, the record in the first case having been withdrawn. An unexpected difficulty, however, occurred, as Mr. Peacock, who had been retained for the plaintiff; was not in attendance to conduct his case. After waiting for a short time, Mr. Justice ERLE intimated that if the case was not pro ceeded with, either the record would have to be withdrawn. or the plaintiff non-suited. He suggested that the attorney should instruct another counsel. The attorney had no brief; it was in Mr. Peacock's pos • session. He was, however, proceeding to instruct Mr. Pig•• gott, when Mr. Peacock entered with his brief. Mr. Justice ERLE said—" Mr. Peacock, every cause in the list is the first in the mind of a practical man." Mr. PEACOCK proceeded to open the case. Mr. Justice ERLE—CaII your first witness. Mr. PEACOCK. (who was reading from his brief) said he was opening his client's case. Mr. Justice Earx said he was reading his brief verbatim. Mr. PEACOCK then called his first witness, and haviup examined her, he placed his brief in the hands of Mr. Ball, and withdrew for the purpose, no doubt, of transacting business in some of the other courts. The case itself was only of the ordinary kind. It was an issue under the Interpleader Act, to try to whom a quan tity of furniture deposited in two houses, situated at 40 and 39, Green-street, Grosvenor-square, one of which is known as Talbot's Hotel. The plaintiff had been the conductor of the Exeter Hotel, in the Strand, and the defendants are wholesale ironmongers at Dudley, in Staffordshire. The fur• riture in question was contended to have belonged to a Mr. Thompson, who also carried on the business of an ironmonger in South Molton-street, Oxford -street, and that in L.ay, 1845, it, with some plate, which was subsequently stolen, was sold to the plaintiff for a considerable sum. An inventory of the articles, and a receipt, bearing the signature of both Thompson and his wife, were produced. A witness proved the signing of the receipt, and the pay ment of 3801. In August last year, the defendant levied a distress on the goods for 56/. 15s. as the goods of Thompson. The whole of the property was valued at more than 660/. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Miller were for the defendants, on whose behalf it was contended that the assignment was col lusive, and was made for the purpose of cheating Thompson's creditors, when he found himself in an embarrassed condi tion. The goods had remained in the possession of, and had been used by, the Thompsons for a considerable time after the alleged sale. Mi. Justice ERLE commented upon the frequency of frau dulent transfers, or transfers by creditors for the purpose of meeting their creditors with a bill of sale or an assignment, when they adopted ulterior measures, and so neutralizing their levy, and left it to the jury to say whether, in this case. there had or bad not been a transfer of this nature. He said it was a remarkable and suspicious fact, that the plaintiff had never exercised or put forth any right of, ownership over the property until a distraint was put in. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. 34% 34% EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Error, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE, Mr. Baron PARKE, Mr. Baron ALDERSON, gr. Baron ROLFE, Mr. Baron PLATT, Mr. Justice MAULE, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) HOWARD V. GOSSETT. The Court gave judgment in this cause, reversing the de cision of the court, below. The Court were of opinion that the warrant issued by the Speaker of the House of Commons was valid, and that the plaintiff in error, the Sergeant-at- Arms (Sir W. Gossett), was justified in acting upon the same. The verdict must therefore be entered for the defendant. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY. IN RE GODFREY. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a builder at Milton, near Gravesend, came up for his l as t exam i na ti on . Mr. SOUTHGATE, the solicitor to the assignees, opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had not furnished proper ac counts, although the examination had been adjourned for that reason ; an allowance of V. a week had been made to enable him to furnish proper accounts. Mr. CooKE said that the bankrupt had done all in his power, but, although they were in a forward state, the ac countant had refused to go on until he was paid further on account, and bankrupt was prevented from doing that by the suspension of the allowance. Sir. SOUTHGATE said the estate was materially deterio rated by the delay, as there were mortgages, leases, and rents mixed up together, and it was impossible for the assig nees to know the justice, of the claims or their own rights. The Learned Cosairssiorifia said that assignees were at all times justified in stopping the allowance to a bankrupt ii he did not render, not only ordinary, but effectual assistance to his assignees. The present difficulty was one the Court had to combat, and arose from traders not keeping proper books. The Legislature had not made the neglect directly penal, but the Court was indirectly doing so, by leaving those who were culpably negligent unprotected, or at least without the pale of its sympathy. Mr. COOKE said the , Court was most effectually working the desired reform. The Learned COMMISSIONER said adjournment's must not take place from time to time at the expense of the estate; his experience, however, was that assignees in general were liberal, and if the bankrupt did his best perhaps the costs would not be required of him; the case would be adjourned at the bankrupt's expense for three weeks, the !accounts to be filed in three days. He would not then suggest the allow ance until the bankrupt had evinced a strong desire to assist the assignees. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RiEconmen.) Robert Glenroy and Malcolm Graham, aged respectively 17 and 18, were indicted for a burglary in the house of Mr. George Taylor, and stealing twenty-nine spoons and other articles. The evidence was perfectly clear, and the prisoners were sentenced to ten years' transportation. John Wilson, aged 20, a tailor, George Williams, aged 19, a brass founder, and George Standish, aged 18, a labourer, were charged with a burglary in the house of Mr. Henry Psrring, of Farringdon-street. It appeared that the two first prisoners, on the 23d of January last, were seen loitering about the shop window of Mr. Perring, and after a litte time one of them broke a window, and abstracted a watch worth about 401., with which they attempted to get away. Their guilt was clearly proved, and Wilson was sentenced to ten years' transportation, and Williams to seven years' trans portation. Standish was near the place at the time, but the evidence was insufficient to implicate him with the transac tion, and he was acquitted. Alice Lee, a very respectable-looking person, of seventeen years of age, charged with stealing a basket, a necklace, and a quantity of beef, was sentenced to six months' iinFri sonment. BOW-STREET.-(THLS DAY.) Benjamin Keniston, a boy of about ten years of age, wa charged with stealing the "change bag," containing abott 4i. in silver, from the till at Mr. Farrance's, confectioner, 67 Charing-cross. - Amelia Baker, a young woman engaged in Farrance's shop, said that at about eleven o'clock this morning she was in the shop, and saw the prisoner opening the shop-door to go out, with the bag in his hand, having entered and taken it from the till with such caution as to escape notice com pletely. He was going out at the side door (in Spring-gar dens), sad must have entered by that door, crept round the counter, and drawn out the till, in order to take out t he ba g . Witness, of course, ran after the prisoner, who went along Cockspur-street, and who, on finding himself hard pressed. threw the bag down an area. He was stopped immediately afterwards by a man in the street. She had not lost sight of him for a moment. The bag was afterwards picked up ;it contained ten half crowns, 40 shillings, 25 sixpences, and some halfpence. This statement was partly corroborated by the man who stopped the prisoner, and by the policeman, A 63, who took him in custody. The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for trial.

John Sibley, a peasant, carman to George Lambert, Old Park, was indicted for stealing two bushels of split beans, 991bs. weight, the property of his master. Evidence was called, which showed that he bad received 15 cwt. of beans, at Watson's-wharf, on the 16th of January, and that the weight was deficient of 991bs. when he got te g c o c t o b u o n me d . ll The prisoner, who was defended by Mr. onnY, accounted for the deficiency by the horse's consumption. The COMMON-SERGEANT, who made merry with this alle gation of the prisoner, that one horse should eat two bushels of beans in the journey to London, said, it had never yet been laid down by the Judges, that the giving of food to horses or pigs contrary to the master's orders, constituted a felony. Mr. HORRY, who had frequently been interrupted by tl:e jury during his address to thetn, finally submitted that the jury must have evidence of the exact weight of the beans at both ends of the journey, less that of and horse's consumption, which had not been laid bet Ore them, and ended by requesting the Common-Sergeant to read to the jury the depositions taken before the magistrate. The Common-Sergeant was about. to begin, when the fore man of the jury returned a verdict of acquittal. The JUDGE, who had not sent the case to the jury, was evidently taken by surprise with the nature of the verdict. Eizabeth Brown and Mary Keif were indicted for stealing from the person of John Golding, on the 26th January, in Reynolds's-row, Southwark, a purse, containing eleven sove reigns and a pair of gloves. Brown had been in company with the prosecutor on the night when he nii,sed his money, and when she was taken into custody there was thund on her four sovereigns and some silver, a gold watch, and a silver watch , marked D.
