Einptriai Varliament. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. The Supreme Courts (Scotland) bill, and the bankrupts estate (Scotland) bill, were severally read the second time. Lord BROUGHAM, it will be observed, moved the second reading of his " Education Bill," introducing such motion with a speech of considerable length ;—hut, after some dis cussion, the bill was withdrawn till next session, after which their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. LONDON POLICE BILL. On the third reading of the " London City Police" bill, Mr. Fox M AULE moved many new clauses and amendments. Sir G. CLERK protested against so extraordinary a pro ceeding as introducing 30 or 40 new clauses, some of them penal, on the third reading of a bill, when it was impossible that they could be duly considered. Mr. Fox MA LE said that they were transcripts of clauses that had been adopted in the metropolis police bill. Sir G. CLERK observed that, though such was the fact, the proceeding was dangerous, inasmuch as it might be acted on as precedent. The several clauses, however, so moved, were then adopted. Mr. MACKINNON complained of the clause disqualifying the " city police commissioner" to sit in parliament for London, or for any city or borough within the metropolitan district. _ _ Mr. Fox MAULE denied that such provision had been introduced with any personal reference to Mr. Daniel W. H arvey. The clause was retained, and the bill passed. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. Upon the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the order of the day for the third reading of this bill was read. Sir R. INGLis observed, that the misconduct of the Irish corporations had been greatly exaggerated; but if it were as great as•had been stated, that gave them no right to inter fere to the extent proposed by this bill. He was opposed to any such measure ; for, if it passed, there would not be a vestige of the corporation of Dublin, as it existed now, to be found that day six months, supposing the bill to become law. The measure was one that tended to weaken protes tantistn and to strengthen the Roman Catholics ; and on these grounds, whatever taunts might be cast out against him for bigotry, he should persevere in his objection to it. The honourable Bart. was understood to move, that the bill be read a third time that day three months. Mr. O'CONNELL remarked, that if there was an exten sion of the franchise, as there ought to be under this bill, it would have been grounded on the English franchise. If any substantial alteration were made in this bill elsewhere, he should certainly vote against it when it returned to that house. Mr. DARBY considered that the qualification provided by the present bill was insufficient, and therefore he felt bound to vote against it. Colonel PERCEVAL felt bound to vote against the third reading of the bill ; and he must say that he would much prefer, and the people of Ireland generally would much pre fer, if their real opinions were expressed, to have the corpo rations done away altogether. (Hear.) The house divided, when the numbers were for the third reading, 97 ; against it, 21 ; majority, 76.—The bill was then read a third time, and passed. ADMIRALTY COURTS BILL. The house went into committee on the Admiralty Courts bill, which called forth some desultory discussion. Mr. HUME moved an amendment allowing barristers ge nerally to practise in those courts ; but it was negatived by . 69 to 28—majority against it, 41. The house resumed, and the report was ordered to be received this day. The poor-law commission continuance bill, and some other bills, were afterwards forwarded a stage. After the division on the poor-law commission continuance bill (the second reading of which was carried by 120 to 35,) Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that he should certainly take the committee on such bill on Thursday next. The cathedral and ecclesiastical preferments (suspension) bill went through committee. The report of the Government of Lower Canada bill, was presented and agreed to, and, with an amendment regarding the tenure of land, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he should move the third reading of this bill on Thursday next. The report of the metropolis police bill was agreed to, and the bill ordered to be read the third time on Wednesday next. The slave trade (Portugal) bill was read the second time. Adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY. SPANISH AFFAIRS. • The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice that on this day week he should put certain questions to the noble vis count at the head of her Majesty's government, upon the correspondence that had been laid on the table relative to the affairs of Spain. RIOTS AT BIRMINGUAM. The Earl of WARWICK drew the Nttention of Lord Mel bourne to the accounts of the state of Birmingnam, and complained that though lord-lieutenant of the county, he had received no communication on the subject either from the magistrates or the Home-office. He wished to know whether there was a sufficient number of London police in Birmingham, and whether they had all the extra assistance that was nececessary to enable them to preserve peace and order? It did appear extraordinary after all the time for preparation which had been afforded, that these events should have been allowed to occur. Those who were engaged in them were neither more nor less than a portion of the political union that had been established for many years—a union which the government had declared to be illegal—but the existence of which, nevertheless, had been connived at from that time to the present. Those very in dividuals had been supported through thick and thin by the government in such a manner as, (the noble earl) verily be lieved, gave them the impression that their existence as a union was sanctioned. (Hear, hear.) The same language which had been held at the political unions long since was held now, and he regretted that some prompt step had not been taken before this. There were, moreover, magistrates put into the list in the course of the last year, many of whom had themselves been political unionists and chartists. He should be glad to hear from the noble viscount what his in formation of the state of Birmingham really was, and if he (the noble earl) could do anything in aid of the noble vis count's views in putting an end to the unhappy events there. Though he very much questioned the propriety of the noble viscount's policy in allowing those persons to go on so long, he (the noble earl) should most willingly give him his anxious support, and if necessary proceed that very night to Birming ham. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that every assistance would be given to her majesty's government from every quarter. Lord MELBOURNE said, he feared that it was but too true that riots of a very serious character had broken out—that houses had been plundered, and considerable property des troyed ; but those riots had been suppressed, and the town had been, as the government were informed, restored to tran quillity. The noble Earl had asked whether the police force and the military force in the town were sufficient for the maintenanceof tranquillity. He apprehended, unquestionably, that the police and military force in Birmingham was per fectly sufficient for restoring tranquillity, and maintaining the peace of the town. The noble Earl had stated that he, as Lord-Lieutenant of the county had not been applied to either by the magistrates of Ilirmingham or by the other authorities, Why that course had not been taken—why the noble Earl had not been applied to, he was at present unable to. explain. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that, from the statement of the noble viscount, it appeared that there was no deficiency of force of every description, but it did appear that there was a deficiency of authority—(hear, hear)—a deficiency on the part of the magistrates to keep the peace, and he should like to known who were responsible for these magiStrates ?--(hear, hear.) The corporation of the town had been formed con trary to the advice which had been given towards the end of last year, and without having had the consent of parliament— (hear, hear.) But not only had the corporation been formed, but magistrates had been appointed—(hear, hear)—not by the government, not by the noble and learned lord on the wool sack, but by the secretary of state, in consequence of recom mendations in a manner, in his opinidh, contrary to the laws and constitution of the country, and, as he believed, contrary to the intentions of parliament, who, when they passed the Corporations Bill, understood that the magistrates should be appoihted in the usual manner by the crown and not recom mended by any party or body of men residing within the corporate district. What bad been the consequence? After a most disgraceful riot had existed for more than a week, for, he believed, upWards of 10 days at least, this large town, one of the largest manufacturing towns in the kingdom, contain ihgproperty to an immense amount, and one of the most res- Pectible populations in the country, had been treated like a town taken by storm—houses had been burnt down. He had been in towns taken by storm, but never had such outrages occurred in them as had been committed in this town only last night; before the eyes of magistrates appointed by the secretary of state for the home department. Property had been taken out of houses and burnt in the public streets not withstanding the presence of the police and troops. This ought not to have been allowed to go on under the eyes of the magistrates, and almost under the eyes of the troops, without something being done to prevent these outrages. It would have been impossible formerly that these things could have gone on in this great country, once so peaceable and so happy. But the peace, and honour, and interest of the coun try were sacrificed—(hear, hear). Tbe Earl of WARWICK said the noble viscount denied that the government had given any countenance to the political unions; but they had appointed the very men who formed these unions to the office of mag istrates, and they had ap pointed even delegate chartists, and he had had much corres pondence with the secretary of state upon that point. He bad the names of the parties, but he did not wish to mention them unnecessarily—but these were political unionists, and three or four chartists were now performing the duties of the magistracy : this was made manifest upon the exmination of Lovett, the secretary to the convention. (The noble earl here read a paragraph which was last week placarded in Birmingham, on the subject of the examination of Lovett). From the position which he (Lord Warwick) held in the county he had paid particular attention to the language used in that political union, and it was as violent as that used by the chartists. Yet these were the very men selected by the government to fill the office of magistrates. Viscount MELBounsE—The noble duke said there was a deficiency of activity on the part of the magistrates, and he said he could find no case parallel with it. Had the noble duke forgotten the unfortunate affair at Nottingham, where a mill was burned while two troops of yeomanry were standing round and within sight?—(Hear.)—No doubt they had acted under mistake as to law, but they thought they could not act without the orders of a magistrate.—(Cheers.)—These things arose suddenly, and he was informed that the police waited in this case also for the orders of the magistrates, who were not quite prepared, not expecting any tumult that night. He was not fully informed on the subject—(Hear hear)—and could not explain the matter either clearly or satisfactorily. He could easily conceive that a serious riot might arise without any fault attaching to the conduct of the magistrates. It might be attributable either to error or mistake. He did not know whe ther this was so on the present occasion, but it had been so in former times. As at present informed he knew not what term to apply; but he was disposed to say it arose from timidity, and not from any disposition on the part of the magistrates not to do their duty. The noble duke had said he had found no parallel to this outrage, even in towns which had been taken by storm. Now, in the present case, there were two houses burned. Lord LYNDHURST said there were twenty. Viscount MELBOURNE—The noble and learned lord would have an opportunity of addressing the house presently. He should think that in a town taken by storm rather more car nage would occur than had taken place in Birmingham • and the thing was sufficiently lamentable without persons Of the authority and station of the noble duke indulging in violent exaggeration.—(H ear.)—Then as to the Magistracy— in ap pointing the magistrates everything had been done with the utmost fairness. The persons appointed were persons of great respectability, who either resided in the town, or near the town, or who had a fair share in the business of the town. Such had been the composition of the magistracy, and with respect to the other matters of complaint that some of those persons had been members of the political unions, and had used violent language, his (Lord Melbourne's) opinion on that subject was that it ought not to be a disqualification to serve as a magistrate. If the follies of nature operated as a disqualfication, and they were only to appoint those who had acted prudently, he was afraid they would be put to very great difficulty in finding magistrates, because it he had to look in particular to the town of Birmingham, for persons of sound discretion, for persons who had never committed errors —who had never used violent language, or indulged in dan gerous or extravagant theories, he protested he should not know were to find them.—(Laughter.) The Duke of WELLINGTON was surprised that the noble v iscount, considering the situation he held, should only have ifigirruttle state of Wap is Birtabaham by the aecauuts be had seen—(Hear, hear,)—and that he should not know at all whether the riots were owing to the absence of magistrates, or the absence of troops, or to the fault of the troops stand ing by, or to anything similar to that which had happened some few years ago, at Nottingham— (Hear, hear). The noble lord knew nothing at all about the matter.—(Hear.) — Was this the way in which the country ought to be governed? —(Hear, hear.)--He (the Duke of Wellington) had never known a town taken by storm so ill-treated as Birmingham had been the night before last. The noble viscount said that some riot had taken place, and he supposed that two houses only had been burnt. Why houses had been gutted, the property being carried out and burnt. It wt a lamentable to see these things going on in the north of England : but the government took no part in the matter.—(Hear, hear,) Viscount MELBOURNE — Why does the noble duke say that ?—(Cries of hear, from the ministerial side.)—When did these things happen ? The night before last. The Earl of WARWICK—Ten days ago. Viscount MELBOURNE — How is it possible that the go vernment could have hitherto done anything in the matter ? (Hear, hear.)—Why does the noble duke say that nothing has been done ? Why should he suppose that nothing will be done by the government ?—(Hear, hear.) —During the time these riots have occurred in Birmingham, every step pos sible has been taken by the government to prevent such out rages. What is the reason:that the noble duke imagines the government will neglect their duty ? My lords, I say that the government have never neglected their duty—(Laughter from the oppostion)—with regard to the preservation of the peace of the country—(Hear, hear.)—and the noble duke has no right to assume that we shall neglect our 'duty in future. —(Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON—I say, my lords, that these riots have prevailed for the last ten days, and no stt pi have been taken to put them down effectually—to punish the ma gistrates who have neglected their duty, or those who have taken part in the riots, several of whom are now in Warwick Gaol—(Hear, hear.)—l say that nothing of this kind has been done by her Majesty's government. Earl FITZWILLIAM expressed his conviction that the present state of Birmingham ought to excite no surprise, in asmuch as similar scenes had been enacted there in 178 9 . _ The Marquis of LONDONDERRY could not help being struck with the degree of lightness with which the noble viscount had treated this subject, and also the nature of the answer he had given to what had been stated by the noble duke. Lord WHARNCLIFFE was surprisedthat the noble viscount should suppose that the people of Birmingham, who had been all their lives used to agitation, should all at once calm down and obey the authority of the law. The manner in which the magistrates of that town had been appointed and acted, was not at all calculated to appease the people, and it was his firm belief that the manner in whichimagistrates had been ap pointed in all the towns that had received corporations, and the party course they had adopted, had led to all the dis turbances that had taken place. (Hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the last accounts of what passed in Birmingham were up to half-past twelve from the mayor of Birmingham, and at half-past two accounst were received from the superintendent of police. Both the mayor and the superintendent of police stated that it was im possible for them to bring the whole of the facts under the consideration of the government, because they were actually engaged in preserving the peace of the town. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, after what the noble Marquis who had just addressed their lordships had asserted, he begged to offer a few further remarks. It was said there were plenty of troops, but yet a gross outrage had been com mitted ; the town had been burnt, houses gutted, and the property brought out into the streets and consumed ; and he would again repeat that that peaceable town—that rich manu facturing town—was worse treated than any town had ever been treated when taken by storm. He said that from his own knowledge, and he recalled the noble Marquis to cor rection for venturing to deliver that opinion. Another state ment that had been made was that there were plenty of troops —that there was a detachment and superintendent of police; all that they had learned from the newspapers, but they knew nothing, aid it was clear that the ministers knew nothing. (Laughter.) They had just been informed by the ministers, and he would venture to draw this conclusion from what they had stated, that those magistrates, who did not bid the troops interfere until the town was burnt, and the property of the merchants destroyed, were irresponsible—(cries of ' hear, hear")—and it appeared that there were no means of bringing these parties to trial. The noble Earl (Fitzwilliam) had told their lordships that similar misfortune had befallen that town some years ago. Why, if the town was liable to these un fortunate scenes so often that was a reason why her Majesty's ministers should have taken the utmost precaution to preserve the public peace. (Hear, hear.) What he said was, that there were means—such as issuing a special commission—of marking the sense of the government in regard to those tran sactions. There might be an inquiry instituted into the con duct of the magistrates. The noble Marquis knew something of this manner of proceeding (though in a contrary sense), and something ought to be done to mark the opinion of government in relation to this important subject. It would appear, however, that he was all abroad respecting this matter—(here)—and nobody had any right to notice these things. (Hear, hear.) Let their lordships take care what they did upon this subject, lest they should fall under the lash of the noble Marquis. (Laughter.) A town might be burned, but their lordships were to say nothing, otherwise they might be charged with being unjust in asserting that wrong had been done. All that he hoped was that no other instance might occur to afford him another opportunity of making similar observations. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE stated, that the accounts received by the Government were dated at half-past twelve o'clock on Monday night, and half-past two o'clock on Tuesday morning, and contended that government ought not to act on imperfect information, received only ten hours after the transactions had occurred. The Duke of WELLINGTON observed, that he did not talk of the magistrates who had been guilty of what he thought improper conduct, but he spoke of those who nad been guilty of the riots ten days ago. The conduct of the magistrates might have been the subject of inquiry, and the persons who were guilty of the riots might by this time have been brought to trial by a special commission or some other mode. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, a great number of persons had been taken up, and were awaiting their trial ac cording to law. The conversation then dropped. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY. Two new writs ordered, 1, for Aylesbury, in the room of W. M. Praed, Esq., deceased ; and, 2, for Totness, in lieu of J. Parrott, Esq., who had accepted the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. Several petitions were presented from coach proprietors and others on various lines of roads, complaining of the heavy and peculiar taxation to which they were exposed, while con veyances propelled by steam were comparatively free from taxation, and praying for a more equitable adjustment of such burdens. Mr. Fox MAULE rose for the purpose of giving a satisfac tory answer from the visiting magistrates to the complaints of John Thorogood, confined in Chelmsford Gaol for 4s 6d church rates, but he was prevented by Mr. Wakley, and others, from reading it, on the ground that it was an informal course. It was, however, laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. FRESUFIELD rose for the purpose of moving for a re turn on a very ticklish subject—namely, the state of business in our courts of equity ;—for a " return of the number of days the Court of Exchequer, as a court of equity, sat for the despatch of business for ten years, ending 1838 inclusive ; showing the number of days the court , sat in each term, and at the sittings after each term," &c. In support of his mo tion, he proceeded to say that there were now set down for hearing before the lord chancellor and the master of the rolls 712 causes! That the lord chancellor had recently asserted if there were not another cause fixed for the next three years, there was business enough to occupy that period ; so that, the hon. member argued, for all those causes that might have worked their way through all the preliminary stages, and be now ready to be set down for hearing, without calculating those that would hereafter accrue, there would be an absolute delay (which he considered worse than a denial) of justice for at least three years! ill The arguments—or the weather—however, became so op pressive, that it was moved to count the house, and it was " counted out." HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY. The House of Lords did not meet this day. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY. Sir T. COCHRANE, the new member for Ipswich, took the oaths and his seat, introduced by Mr. Fitzroy Kelly and Sir T. Fremantle. He was warmly greeted by the conservative members present. Mr. MACKINNON inquired whether it was the intention of the government to institute any inquiry into the conduct of the magistracy of Birmingham, who had evinced such ex traordinary apathy for several hours, on Monday, during the sacking and burning of that town ? Lord. J. RUSSELL, previous to answering this question, went into some extended details as to the applications of the magistrates for aid, and as to the transference to Birmingham of portions of the metropolitan police. In answer to Mr. Mackinnon's question, his lordship said that a memorial from Birmingham, just received, represented that from half past eight till a quarter before ten o'clock, on Monday night, THE MAGISTRATES DID NOTHING, although they had warning of what was taking place; and that such an allega tion, of Course, DEMANDED A STRICT INQUIRY. An interesting conversation followed, in which Mr. SCHOLEFIELD and Mr. T. ATTWOOD (the members for Birmingham) took part. All parties concurred in the propriety of abstaining from remarks on the conduct of Birmingham magistracy, as Lord .1. RUSSELL had declared that the matter should be " in vestigated." The Soldiers' Pension Bill and the Loan Fund (Ireland) Bill severally went through a committee. The Timber Ships Bill was read the second time. The second reading of the Payment of Rates Bill was deferred till Thursday. The Ecclesiastical District Bill was read the second time. There was considerable discussion on the Shannon Naviga tion 13111. The Metropolitan Police Courts Bill was read a third time and passed. The other orders were then disposed off, and the house adjourned at half-past one. EASTERN COUNTIES' RAILWAY.—The Railway Times of Saturday gives the following return of passenger traffic on the portion of the line now opened from Devonshire-street to Romford, from the 20th of J une to the 10th ofJuly, 1139 : June 20 (opening day) 1415 ; 21, 580 ; 22, 393 • 23 (Sunday) 2075 ; 24,1345 ; 25, 894 ; 26, 686 ; 27, 715 ; 28;412 ; 29, 471 ; 33 (Sunday) 3645 ; Jury 1, 957 ; 2, 859 ; 3, 1027 ; 4, 908 ; 5 (Friday, Fairlop fair) 3048 ; 6, 1022 ; 7 (Sunday, Fairlop fair) 6582 ; 8, 983 ; 9, 640 ; 10, 845. Total,-29,502 passenger conveyed on the railway during the first three weeks. TELEGRAPH AT HULL.—Lieut. Watson, who established and still manages the telegraph from Holyhead to Liverpool, proceeded last week to Hull—being the first passenger whose place was taken by the Manchester and Leeds railway on the opening of that line to the public on Thursday—with a view of establishing a system of telegraphs from Hull to the York shire and Lincolnshire coasts. This rapid mode of transmit ting intelligence, almost equalling the velocity with which sound travels, cannot fail to be of advantage to the port of Hull, which is situated at so considerable a distance from the mouth of the Humber. We do not know how far it is pro posed to extend the line of telegraphs ; but we should think it desirable to carry it for some distance along the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire coasts. The telegraph is of use in appris ing merchants of the approach of inward-bound vessels, the progress of outward-bound vessels, and of all occurrences to shipping along the shore in stormy weather. In time of war—should that calamity again scourge our country—the telegraph might be the means of communicating intelligence of great importance. Within three or four minutes, a brief announcement may be conveyed a distance of forty or fifty miles !—Doncaster Gazette. - - NEW YORK " CHANGE. "— The distress (at New York) for change has produced a curious remedy there. Every man is now his own banker. Go to the theatres and places of public amusement, and, instead of change, you receive an 1.0. U. from the treasury. At the hotels and oyster-cellars it is the same thing. Call for a glass of brandy and water, and the change is 15 tickets, each " good for one glass of brandy and water." At an oyster-shop, eat a plate of oysters, and you have in return seven tickets, good for one plate of oysters each. It is the same everywhere. The barbers give you tickets, good for so many shaves • and were there beggars in the streets, I presume they would you tickets, in change, good for so much philanthropy. Dealers, in general, give out their own bank-notes, or, as they are called here, shin plasters, which are good for the dollar, and from that down to two and a half cents., all of which are redeemable, and redeemable only upon a general return to cash payments.— Ctzlitc Morryat'a Vottrp. THE AGES. (From Blackwood's Magazine.) A thousand years—a thousand years ! So long a time has worn away, And o'er the hardening earth appears Green pasture mix'd with rocks of gray ; And there huge monsters roll and feed, Each'frame a mass of sullen life ; Through slimy wastes and woods of reed They crawl, and tramp, and blend in strife. A thousand years—a thousand years ! And o'er the wide and grassy plain, A human form the prospect cheers, The new-sprung lord of earth's domain. Half clad in skins he builds a cell, Where wife and child create a home ; He looks to heaven with thoughts that swell, And owns a might beyond the dome. A thousand years—a thousand years ! And lo ! a city and a realm : Its weighty pile a temple rears, And walls are bright with sword and helm Each man is lost amid a crowd ; Each power unknown now bears a name ; And laws and rites, and songs are loud ; And myriads hail their monarch's fame. A thousand years—a thousand years ! And now beside the rolling sea, Where many a sailor nimbly steers, The eager tribes are bold and free. The graceful shrine adorns the hill ; The square of council' spreads below ; Their theatres a people fill, And list to thought's divinest flow. A thousand years—a thousand years ! We live amid a sterner land, Where laws ordain'd by ancient seers Have train'd the spirit of command ; • Their pride and policy and war, With haughty fronts are gazing slow, And bound at their triumphal car, O'ermaster'd kings to darkness go. A thousand years—a thousand years ! And chivalry and faith are strong ; And through devotion's sorrowing tears Is seen high help for earthly wrong. Fair gleams the cross with sunny light, Beneath a dim cathedral arch ; 'Tis raised, the burgher Staff of Right, And heads the stately feudal march. A thousand years !—How swift the chain That drags along our sight to-day ! Before that sound returns again, The present will have stream'd away, And all our world of busy strength Will dwell in calmer halls of time, And then with joy, will own, at length, Its course is filed, its end sublime. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. LADY FLORA HASTINGS. (From Me Times.) _ _ We copy the following from the John Bull : we have reason to believe that the particulars are precisely true : " When the Queen heard the opinion of Sir James Clarke with regard to Lady Flora Hastings, his patient, her Majesty sent Lady. Portman to consult her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent as to the course to be pursued. The Duchess received .Lady Portman with all kindness, and expressed her regrets at the unfortu nate cause of her visit; but it was not until the third interview with her Royal Highness that Lady Portman delivered a message from the Queen, to say that her Majesty thought it best for Lady Flora's sake, as well as for the honour of the Court, that Lady Flora should set the question of Sir James Clarke's opinion at rest, by calling in and consulting some other medical man in whom her ladyship had confidence. " This, we firmly believe, was all that the Queen said upon the subject, and that the examination in question took place when its nature had been explained to her at the desire of the innocent lady heiself, who, in the anxiety to clear herself completely in the eyes of the Queen and country, nobly and boldly sacrificed her personal feelings to the entire justification of her ho nour. " We would stake our existence that, so far from the Queen having suggested this course, her Majesty, until she was informed of the result, neither knew that any examination was to take place, or that such a mode of proceeding existed. " We are aware that this is a matter of great deli cacy to touch upon, and, certainly, if it had not been rendered a matter of great indelicacy, we should not have alluded to it ; but as it has been proved to the world, that when the calumny against Lady Flora was disproved the Queen exhibited every mark of kindness and attention towards her; that in the audience which the Marchioness , ' of Hastings had, her Majesty shed tears of regret at what had passed ; that her Majesty visited the sick-bed of the sufferer, and, when Death had done his work, every possible mark of regard and esteem was paid to her ladyship's memory, it is too hard that the Queen should labour under the imputa tion of advising or commanding a course to be pur sued, the thought of which, as we have already said, never entered her mind, and of the nature or existence of which her Majesty had no knowledge whatever." * It was Lord Hastings, we believe, not Lady Hastings, to whom the audience was. given. THE LATE THUNDER STORM. Last Sunday night, great confusion prevailed in the neigh bourhood of Tallow, near Wrestlingworth, in consequence of flames proceeding from the buildings of the farm in the occupationiof Mr, King, the lightning, which had prevailed to a great extent during that evening, having struck the above premises ; the barns, piggeries, &c. were all consumed, to gether with about 200 fowls, and eight store pigs, and a valu able hunter, which was in one of the stables, but could not be got out, although every exertion was made to acomplish this, but without success. The poor animal was seen at the time of the stable roof falling in, running into another barn which was on fire, and when discovered in the ruins one leg was missing, which was afterwards found in the stable, and I must have come off at the time of the last struggle in getting out of the same. We have not yet learned whether the pro perty was or was not insured.—.Herts Paper. PULBOROUGH.—The lightning was awfully grand, and about 10 o'clock the hail commenced and continued for about a quarter of an hour. Some of the hail stones measured seven inches in circumference. Considerable damage was 1 done, particularly to the Rev. J. Austin's hot and green house, in which about 2,000 panes of glass were broken. — Sussex Express. TUNBRIDGE-WELLS.—The storm commenced about half past eight o'clock, and continued, with very little intermission, until between one and two on Monday morning. The hail more resembled pieces of ice than anything else ; 'some of them were of an oval shape, and others round. One of the former that we picked up measured upwards of an inch and a quarter in length and an inch in diameter. At a quarter before 12 one of the heaviest claps of thunder probably ever heard was followed by instantaneous calm, and soon after wards the storm gradually died away. We regret to state that considerable mischief has been done by the hail to the glass in the hot houses, &c., in this place and neigh bourhood. The principal sufferers, so far as we have been enabled to collect, are as follows :—the Earl of Abergavenny, Eridge, 1,700 squares ; D. J. Robertson, Esq., Bishop's Down Grove,l,loo squares ;—Becher, Esq., Mount Ephraim, about 1,400 squares; Mrs. Sheppard, Manor House, nearly the same ; Mrs. Tighe, Earl's Court between 300 and 400 squares; Mr. Fennings, a considerable number. Mr. C. Hollamby, nurseryman, in the Eridge-road, had scarcely a square of glass left in his green houses and frames. Mr. T. Cripps, nurseryman, Cumberland-walks, was also a material sufferer. The Calverley Hotel'lost about 150 squares. In fact, this list might be swelled to an amazing degree. We are, however, very happy to state that the anticipations of more serious mischief have not been realised.—lbid. ROTHERFIELD.—ANOTHER STORM.Tuesday evening last this place was visited by one of the most terrific thunder storms we have experienced for many years. The tempest began about eight o'clock, and lasted till near midnight ; during the greater part of which time there was scarcely any cessation with respect to the lightning, which was occa sionally severely vivid, and the thunder rolled in tremendous but awful peals. The hail was the largest ever seen here, many of the stones measuring from three to four inches in circumference. The chief mischief done has been sustained by our respectable rector, and Henry Hope Johnstone, Esq., of Bother House, in whose gardens, we are sorry to learn, very considerable mischief has been done to the hot houses, &c. We have not heard of any other serious mischief having occurred, if we except a sky-light being smashed at the King's Arms inn, in this town.—lbid. BILLINGSHURST. — On Sunday night, a very heavy tem pest of thunder, lightning, and hail passed over this district. The lightning was extremely vivid, and presented an almost continuous blaze of tire. The hailstones were of an unusually large size ; but no damage has been experienced in this parish that we have heard of except by Mr. Allman, who has lost 80 panes of glass in his green house. In the neighbourhood, however, much mischief has been done in this way ; at Stop ham,—Bartlett, Esq. had 1,000 panes of green house glass broken, and at Iford about 40 were destroyed.—lbid HORSHAM.—The awful storm which visited this town and neighbourhood, on Sunday evening last, has, we trust, left an indeliable impression on the minds of all right thinking individuals. The day had been throughout excessively hot, and at about five o'clock the thunder was heard faintly rum bling in the west ; it approached gradually until seven o'clock, when it was accompanied by lightning from the western to the eastern hemisphere ; and was in a short time extended throughout the heavens, so that they appeared every few seconds a solid sheet of fire ; the lightening from the south was extremely beautiful ; the spiral flame shooting in all directions like a grand display of fireworks. At about half past eight, the air was filled for about two or three minutes with a mighty rushing noise," resembling the rattling of hundreds of carriages ' • this was immediately followed by a t reme ndous shower of hail, being the most severe that has fallen within the memory of the oldest inhabitant, many of the hailstones being as large as a small hen's egg, carrying destruction to property with them. The green houses and conservatories of the following gentlemen were damaged Sir C. M. Burrell's, Admiral Whitshed's, Marchioness Northampton's, G. E. Platt, Esq.'s, about £lOO ; B. Fox, Esq., Hon. A. Arundel, H. Padwick, Esq., W. Jupp, Esq., J. S. Broadwood, Esq., very extensive ; P. Medwin, Esq., Mrs. Marriott, and Mrs. Haines, having the whole of their upper windows' demolished • Mr. Allman, nurseryman, had 800 square feet of glass broken ; and we are sorry to add that Mrs. Howes, at the King's Head, has sustained a loss ex ternally and internally which is estimated at £2O. The following tradesmen have had their skylights many of which were very large, left glassless :—Messrs. J. Thorpe, C. Hunt, J. Browne, I. and J. Stanford, W. and R. Milward, Laker, Packwood, Lee, and many others, and indeed all houses ex posed to the south and south-west have received more or less injury ; the violence of the storm was not of long dura tion, and we are happy to say there has been no personal injury done, although Mr. Martin, surgeon, of Horsham, had a very narrow escape ; he was on his return from visiting a patient, when he was overtaken by the storm, which so frightened his horse, that himself and servant were obliged to alight. No other injury was done than the breaking of the reins. Nothing is now heard but the glaziers tapping at the broken windows.—lbid. A society has lately sprung up at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the members of which assert that the use of tobacco, whether taken as snuff or in smoking, is a primary cause of intem perance, and they have subscribed to a pledge neither to use uor to sell the forbidden weed.—Hindpdper. THE "TOLERANT " RELIGION. (From the Morning Herald of Tuesday.) The Romanists held a meeting yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, on the subject of education. The assemblage was a crowded one, and the arguments and declarations in proof that Romanism is tolerant and enlightened beyond all other reli gions of the earth were as conclusive as they were positive. The meeting was quite unanimous, and further, it was ex tremely vociferous in applauding repeated asseverations that popery is mild, beneficent, and liberal, and that protestantism is all that is harsh, uncharitable, and persecuting. At the en trance of the passage leading from Queen-street the Roman ists had taken the precaution of stationing a number of po licemen, who insisted on the production of the tickets of ad mission ; at the end of the passage other policemen met the view ; at the top of the stairs policemen again presented themselves. Inside the first barrier policemen were again seen, and once more they were beheld, at the bar of the en trance to the platform. Besides this wholesome protection the body of the meeting contained a large number of the stalwart and strong-lunged pr . ecursors, who were ready to wage battle, " by deed of hand or word of mouth" upon any into lerant heretic who might dare to speak in the erroneous spirit of the reformation. The Hon. Mr. Langsdale, M.P. presided, and amongst those present were Mr. D. O'Connell, Mr. Dillon Browne, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, Mr. Howard, M.P. and a number of catholic priests and well dressed fe males. Several letters were read to the meeting, and among them was one from Dr. A. Scott, the vicar apostolic for the western district of Scotland. This letter the secretary would not have read to the meeting had he not been desired to do so by Mr. D. O'Connell, who sat on the right of the right of the chairman, and directed the more skilful movements of the day. The vicar apostolic referred with much satisfaction to the progress which he said Romanism is making in the high lands of Scotland, and particularly among " the descendants of those unfortunate men who joined the standard of Prince Charles Edward Stuart in 1745 and 1746." The mention of this fact was hailed with several distinct howls of delight. The pretender is evidently a sainted character with the pre cursors. The vicar apostolic then went on to give his own version of the overwhelming majority of catholics in certain districts of the western portion of Scotland amidst the almost maddened exultations of the meeting; and at the conclusion of the details, Mr. D. O'Connell " did himself the pleasure " of stating the aggregate numbers. The letters having been read, the chairman rose to speak, and the precursors raised a shout that (to use the language of Milton) would have " Torn hell's concave," The " wild Irish cry" was mingled with the smuggler's whistle (four fingers in the mouth), and many other notes altogether unknown to the English ear. This Saracenic harmony lasted while moderately one might tell a hundred, and the honour able chairman briefly touched upon what he termed the ca lumnies with which Romanism had been assailed by the pro testants. But it would appear, he said, to be the nature of error (that is, protestantism,) to seek support from violence misrepresentation, and calumnies. He believed that truth was never brought home so powerfully to the human heart as when she appeared in simplicity with calmness and charity towards our neighbours (by which the honorable gentleman doubtlessly intended to paint Romanism with her inquisition her massacre of St. Bartholemew, and her thousand and one et ceteras). The honorable gentleman further adverted to the calumnies of the protestants, and observed that the Ro manists were not disposed to indulge in recrimination. " The Roman catholics," said he " can well afford to be generous on such an occasion as the present," at which we imagined we perceived Mr. O'Connell to exchange a very arch look with a Jesuit-looking gentleman at his elbow. Mr. Jones, of Lanark, moved the first resolution, to which a seconder was found with considerable difficulty. Mr. Dillon Browne then delivered a very poetical speech (which he had in his pocket, as we afterwards discovered,) in which he endeavoured to be very severe upon the Bishop of Exeter. Directly the name of that distinguished prelate was mentioned, Mr. Daniel O'Connell acted the part of fugleman by sending forth a hiss that would have done honour to Chingachchook (the Big Serpent) himself. The precursors took the hint, and the walls of the tower of Babel could scarcely have re sounded to more dissonant music. Mr. Dillon Browne, as it has been observed, was very poetical. He attempted one very sublime flight, in which there was something about the genius of architecture watching over the sleep of popery, and ready, if she should awake, again to- testify her claims to the edifices over which the said genius presides—but as the ho nourable gentleman did not follow the " copy" he verified the remark, that " there is but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous." His Pegasus suffered a terrible stumble, and limped throughout the rest of his ostrichian attempt to " scale the heavens." A Rev. Mr. Sisk, who followed, eulo gised Pope Innocent 111., Honorius 111., and Gregory IX., and proceeded amidst a perfect tornado of acclamation to laud the Jesuits, to whose merits he declared he was alto gether incapable of doing justice. Mr. D. O'Connell lent the whole strength of his cheer in favour of that " much abused order" of the Romish church. Another speaker, Mr. Ainstey, spoke of the Romanist, girding themselves for the fight, " when the odds are less, and the chances of suc cess greater," and contrasted popery with " that thing they called the church of England." Mr. O'Connell followed, and in a speech, the delivery of which occupied nearly three hours, proved, as he said most satisfactorily, that popery is what the city men would term three-fourths seven-eighths more tolerant than protestantism. According to Mr. O'Con nell, England owes everything she ought to value as a nation to Romanism. Judges, sheriffs, county courts, trial by jury, and " real representation," are all the offspring of popery. He read a vast number of documents for the purpose of proving that popery has been the friend of freedom of con science, and protestantism a perfect religious bigot, even more intolerant than the Spanish inquisition itself. All this was received by the precursors with the loudest possible de monstrations of applause and asseverations of the profundity and correctness of O'Connell's historical knowledge. Hav ing " proved " all this, the member for all Ireland went on to demonstrate that protestantism is productive of crime and Romanism of virtue. He admitted that Queen Mary's reign had cast a stain upon popery, but then he begged to remind the world that a Spanish friar of that day had advised the popish Sovereign not to persecute the protestants. In one word, O'Connell made out that papacy is an angel, and the established church a devil. He almost deified the jesuits, declared that his church is all charitable, not forgetting the inquisition, the Waldenses, the Albigenses, the Hussites, and various other " gentle massacres" of heretics ; and cha racterised the church of England as the personification of persecution and uncharitableness. Curious enough it was that in the midst of his glowing picture of popish toleration he threw in a little incongruous colouring, which somewhat marred the harmonious blending, and which, it would have been imagined, so cautious a limner as O'Connell would have avoided. He stated, with great exultation, that Mr. Eneas M`Donnell had presented himself at the door, (with a ticket, for which he had paid half-a-crown,) and had been refused admission. This met with a yell of delight, and when O'Connell hinted, that had M`Donnell found his way in, he would very quickly have found his way out, the precursors and the rest of the tolerant Romanists were perfectly con vulsed with the delirium of charity and toleration. if we are to take O'Connell and the rest of the speakers for pro phets, Romanism is shortly to become the ruling faith of this kingdom. The precursors were evidently convinced of it, and every prediction of the speakers to that effect was cheered again and again. The proceedings of yesterday offered a fine illustration of the homely saving of " putting the best leg foremost." If the orators are to be credited, all the social evils await only the supremacy of Romanism in order to fly from among us. In the insolvent debtors' court on Friday, Simeon John Boileau, Esq., described as late of Liverpool, barrister-at law, was opposed by Mr. Cooke on behalf of two creditors — Mr. Neil, a solicitor, and Mr. - Flight, an annuity creditor. Mr. Boileau supported his own petition. The debts on the schedule amounted to £13,964, and the assets, in good, bad, and doubtful debts, about £4OOO. The court adjudged the insolvent to six months' imprisonment from the date of the vesting order (9th May), at the suit of Mr. Neil, for con tracting the debt with him without any reasonable or pro bable means of payment ; and that imprisonment to be within the walls, and not in any rules or liberties thereof. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 Wednesday morning week, an accident of the most melancholy and fatal nature befell Mrs. Jewett, wife of Mr. Jewett, schoolmaster, of Lancaster Castle. She was engaged in the domestic oc cupation of " ironing," and, while bending over the fire, was suddenly, as it was supposed, seized with a fit, and fell across the grate, in which position she was found in a few minutes by her horror-struck husband. The head, face, neck, and bosom of the unhappy woman were so much burned as to be totally charred. Dr. Hunter Lane, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Foxcroft, were immediately summoned ; but, after lingering a few hours, she expired. An inquest was held in the castle on Friday evening, before John Gard ner, Esq., coroner, and a verdict returned in accordance with the above circumstances. A BOTTOMLESS MEADOW. — As the line of the Glasgow and Ayrshire railway crosses from Ayrshire into Renfrew shire, there is a meadow, about three miles long, belonging to W. Patrick, Esq., W.S., through which it has to pass, and where it has to be embanked four or five feet high. The contractors lately entered upon it, and commenced the em bankment, but were not a little surprised to find that their labours, like those of Tantalus, threatened to be of an endless nature ; as after having embanked 30 yards, they found that about 10 had sunk or subsided below the level of the line. They next day repeated their work, reforming the embank ment to the ordinary level ; but, strange to'say, the under soil again gave way, and although they have since continued day and night to heap earth upon the spot, having put about 300 square yards upon a surface not exceeding 36 feet, the greedy bowels of the meadow receive it as fast as it is applied, and the workmen are now, not without reason, despairing of finding a solid foundation. This most singular phenomenon attracted a party of engineers to the spot on Saturday week, who could account for it in no other way than that the mea dow is floating on water ; which supposition seems the more feasible, that the ground rises on each side of the sinking portion, and splits into deep cracks or hags. , The people of the district have flocked in hundreds to have ocular demonstra tion of the above facts.—Glasgow Courier. THE CUCKOO DOMESTICATED. — On the 17th ult., a cuckoo was shot in the neighbourhood of Dingle, by Mr. R. Townsend, of this town. The bird being only slightly wounded in the pinion of the wing, the disordered feathers were properly arranged, and the wound soon healed ; it was put into a cage, and fed with caterpillars and other insects, the peculiar food of the cuculus canorus ; but as caterpillars could not be collected at all seasons of the year, Mr. Towns end used every' means to induce the stanger to change his mode of life, and has at length succeeded to his entire satis faction. The bird is so familiar and contented with its situa tion, that it has a particular wish to be fed from the keeper's hand ; it will perch on his finger, and suffer itself to be car ried in that situation in the garden, cooing at the time with as much spirit and satisfaction as if it sat on one of its native branches in the wood. We have known the young cuckoo to be caged for a tinie, and even to appear contented with its situation ; but this is the only instance on record wherein an old bird of this species has been so familiarised. I doubt not but it will live through the winter in this country, and favour us with its cheerful notes. It is a circumstance wor thy of observation, and one which, I believe, has escaped the notice of the naturalist—that the cuckoo never drinks. Mr. Townsend observes, " After the closest attention for more 'than five weeks, I find that this bird shoVis no disposition to drink ; yet it is still in perfect health."—Kerry Even. Post. CULTIVATION OF THE STRAWBERRY. The late copious showers have produced runners in abun dance ; and the seaso* approaches when many persons com mence planting the different approved varieties, with a view to form new beds. Experience has instructed us on this point, and shown that it is now the worst time of the whole year for the purpose, because those tender, half-rooted offsets, if disturbed, will fail to take hold of the soil, in almost every instance, if dry weather succeed ; and equally so, in fact, be the weather what it may, unless the ground be of that peculiar quality and in the condition which exactly . suit the plants. Hundreds of runners are bought at a price varying from 18d. to perhaps 205., or more, per hundred—not one tithe of which remain alive at the end of a week. But while we unhesitatingly condemn this unwise mode of proceeding, we can point out a method by which success is assured—one which is equally applicable to the formation of beds and rows in the garden, and to the preparation of potted plants for forcing. Keen's seedling and the old pine are the best varieties yet known for all ordinary uses. The Downton and Elton, both raised by the late Mr. Knight, are valuable as successions— the latter particularly being very late in its season. Single rows of each ought to be prepared in every good garden, for the purpose of propagation, as they offer great facilities for the work. A space of clear ground, two feet wide, on each side of the row, should be reserved—over which the best runners should be laid right and left, and one young plant upon each should be permitted to fix itself in the soil. A number of the pots, of the size called large sixty, being ready, should be let into the soil by the planting trowel, one for each strong young plant, and filled with the earth. This done, the runner plant is to be raised by the point of the trowel, with as much earth adhering to its root as it will bring up, and transferred to one of the pots—it is to be fixed in the soil therein, and held down by a stone placed over the string near its junction with the runner plant. The plant will thus continue to be nourished by the parent, through the vascular channels of the cord, and the process of independent rooting will proceed as it did before the operation. Pots so prepared will be full of roots in a few weeks, and then may be lifted, the runners divided, and the plants transferred to beds, borders, or larger pots, according to the object of the gardener. Nothing is to be effected without time, contrivance, and trouble, but herein they are not bestowed upon " that which profiteth not." On the contrary, the plants so raised are in a condition to grow immediately ; and few fail, if gentle waterings be given once or twice in the absence of showers. The London market gardeners plant in rows, about two feet asunder, and place clean litter over the soil. Thus the fruit is preserved from dirt, and the gardeners and gatherers can walk between the rosts. , of the extensive plantations, without doing injury to anything. In private gardens we see reason to form only narrow beds, three feet wide, and of any convenient length, four rows in a bed, the plants six or eight inches apart. Prepare the ground by trenching two feet deep, and incorporate sound vegetable mould with the earth. Do the work early in September, keep the ground perfectly free from weeds, throw light soil, mixed with the best reduced dung, over the bed in December, so as to fill up every hollow close - around the collars of all the plants. In March cut off the withered old leaves, and rake the surface with a wooden rake. If any blossoms appear cut them away, and do not suffer the plantation to have any fruit in the first year. Pre pare a second bed in the same way, and treat it in every respect as the first was treated. Permit that bed to bear a full crop in the second year, and the product will demonstrate the value of this mode of proceeding. A third bed will com plete the succession, and at the same time the second will come into bearing. The first bed may then be destroyed, and replanted, after deep digging and manuring. Lay mowings of grass among the plants that bear fruit, to preserve the trusses from being splashed. The directions above given comprise the routine of a mode of planting which is calculated to produce the best fruit in abundance ; and the amateur gardener would do well to try it carefully. Our objection to long angle rows is that they occupy much room, and the fruit is rarely, if ever, pre served from dirt and mutilation. A plot formed as directed takes up little space, and is renewed without inconvenience. THE CHARTISTS.—A respectable correspondent has sent us what follows as another instance of the folly of listening to these miscreants : the names of the parties concerned are, for very obvious reasons, suppressed. A married woman, whose husband had gone abroad, leaving with her a consi derable portion of his earnings, had very prudently deposited them in the savings bank ; but having foolishly adopted the belief propagated by the chartists and their followers, that the money was not safe here, she withdrew the whole of it, about £250. After keeping it at home for some days, she became fearful of being robbed, and was sadly perplexed as to what to do with it. At length she resolved to give it for a little while into the keeping of a neighbour, a very respect able honest man, as she supposed; and so locking it up in a box she waited on him and requested him to become her treasurer, which he readily consented to do.. Soon after, her fears were again excited by a rumour that this. person was about to emigrate with his family ; but on questioning him on the subject he denied it, and she felt satisfied. In a few days, however, the gentleman was really missing ; and then the owner of the box went to his wife and demanded its re turn. It was instantly delivered to her ; when she observed that it handled light, and well it might—for on being opened it was found to be eased of its couteuts.--Cbritwal/ Gazak.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY .18. The demand for Cotton yesterday was pretty general, and the sales amounted to 3500 bales, amongst which were 1500 American for export ; prices not so steady as on Monday : to day there has been a more steady market, and the sales are 3500 bales ; 600 Surat at 44d to 64d, 300 Bahia at Sid to Sid, 200 Pernam at sid to gid, American 64d to gd. Exporters have taken SOO American and 100 Surat. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 18 The demand for Butter has been more litnited since our last, but prices are not altered. Fine Waterford,' Carlow, Kilkenny, &c. being still worth 935 to 945. Some br-..-aids, however, do not bring more than 88a to gOs, whilst fictitious marks, (of which there is a plentiful supply,) are a drug at 80s to 82s. Pickled Butter is not a force sale, 86s to 88s for seconds about the asking price. Beef and Pork continue much as last noted. Bacon very saleable, and Prices likely to be supported. LIVERPOOL? CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 16. Since this day week the weather has been rainy, impeding the Hay harvest, of which not one half is yet secured, but for all other agricultural produce it has continued very favourable. The imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastwise have again been very trivial—from foreign ports they continue to a fair extent —chiefly going into bond—although duty of 13s 8d has been paid on 3or 4000 quarters of Wheat. There has been a fair demand for good Wheat and Flour here, and a small advance has been obtained, but for all other articles in the trade sales have been very limited, and a small decline submitted to. In the Yorkshire markets of the past week there was a decline on Wheat of Is per quarter, and in Manchester on Saturday there was a dullness, and an advance demanded on Wheat and Flour lying here was barely obtainable, whilst Oats were offered Id per 451 b, and Oatmeal lid per 2401 b. lower. _ _ . The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports has since Friday last been increased to 16s Bd per quarter, and on Flour to 10s Oid per barrel; on Rye and Beans it has been reduced is 6d per quarter, on other grain no alteration. It is likely that the duty on Oats will be de creased is 6d per quarter next Friday. There has been recently very little doing in bonded Oats, Flour or Pease for export, at about the prices quoted, and the value of all other Grain in bond con tinues as if free, deducting the duty. . At this day's market there was it thin attendance, but sales were effected of Wheat and Flour to a moderate extent at fully the prices of this day week, and which in some instances were a little ex ceeded ; on Oats and Oatmeal a small further reduction must be noticed; but except for the finer descriptions of sweet Pomeranean Wheat, which we increase 2d to 3d per 701 b. we can make very little alteration in our general prices current of last Tuesday; superfine sweet French Flour has obtained 42s per barrel.

The sales have been by no means large, although the market was tolerably well attended by country buyers as well as butchers. With respect to prices we cannot note any alteration from otlr quotations of last week, saving on stock of a very ordinary description, which may be quoted a shade less. The best Beef was sold at 6id; second quality 6id down to 6d; ordinary a shade less. Good Wether Mutton realised fully 7d, varying from that down to 6d ; Lambs at abotit'6d to did per lb. sinking the offal. There were a good few Beasts, as well as some Sheep and Lambs of an ordinary descrip tion left unsold. Number of Cattle at market :—Beasts, 983, Sheep and Lambs 9124. Horses. Mules. Calves.
