Never have the proceedings of the Italians been observed with so much curiosity in these islands as they are at this epoch—the epoch of their emancipa tion—the beginning of the end of their misfortunes and degradation. To those who are accustomed to vaticinate from the contrasts afforded by the historical past and the political future, the affairs of the Roman peninsula are at this instant most suggestive. They are, if possible, more pregnant with meaning and less shrouded by obscurity than the records in the Sybilline Books. Let us rememb e r _ Britain derived its first germ s how ancient o f k no w ll i ed i r and civilization from the conquering armi es by stretching their power far beyond the whi c h Hercules, and terminated by establishing their im perial court among the palaces of Byzantium. L et us remember how England has been successively indebted to the warlike citizens of Italy for arts finr sciences, and for literature ; how it was reclaimed from idolatry to the beneficence of the redeeming religion by their gentle and ecclesiastical successors ; how it has been the perpetual recipient of moral and actual advantages from the denizens of the City on the Seven Hills, from the days when FLACCUS caroused in the hanging gardens of MEC-ENUS, or when PLTNY the Elder was suffocated among the ashes which Vesuvius vomited over Herculaneum, down to the time when PETRARCH sang like a nightingale in the darkness and solitude of Vaucluse, and the divine RAFFAELLE D'URBINO handled his brushes in the chambers of the Vatican. Hitherto, or rather in past ages, we have derived the joys and adornments of civilization from the Italians; now the Italians are deriving example and encouragement from ourselves. Such is the beautiful principle of compensation or reciprocity which may be discerned in the historical annals of different countries, both olden and contemporary. Of yore the popula- VICE iffiNjoWPQNEVENik-r' cTo BER 1 uto iemeseessesimesesses-ssewse--...-----_ tion of the British islands struggled upwards to those lights of knowledge, of religion, and of the arts whereby society is beautified and embellished, which had been originally ignited among the population of the Italian peninsula. Now-a -days the Italians are struggling upwards to those lights of civil and reli gious liberty which have been burning brighter and brighter during several past centuries in the cities of Great Britain. It is a noble reflection, and a sublime interchange of blessings. So irresistible has become the popular movement throughout Italy that the obstruction raised by its natural antagonist, the Austrian Kaisar, only tends to its visible acceleration. The momentary infringe ment of the engagements solemnly entered into at Vienna in 1815, has actually conduced to the more speedy fulfilment of the veritable arrangements of that memorable compact. To speak more plainly, the temporary occupation of Ferrara has produced such a reaction in the adjoining principalities, that it is deemed advisable by the Government of METTERNICiI that the contingent understanding of 1815 should in 1847 (before decease has rendered it necessary) be formally carried into effect. Preliminary steps are already being taken for the abdication of the ex-Empress Maass. Louisa from the grand ducal throne of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla, and the result of this retirement of the widow of NAPO LEON, will be the immediate incorporation of Lucca with the territories of LEOPOLD of Tuscany, and the transference of the sovereignty of the combined duchies already mentioned to the chief member of the reigning family of Lucca. In other words, the political and social emancipation of Lucca will be insured by its incorporation with the dominions of the liberal-minded LEOPOLD, while Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla will be afforded an opportunity of effecting their liberation by passing from the immediate thraldom of the Viennese dynasty into the possession of that pusillanimous Prince who has re cently permitted his subjects to wrest the keys of their dungeons from his unwilling grasp. Modena will then remain the insulated blot upon the map of Italy, though it is preposterous to imagine that the sub lime and irresistible impulse of freedom throughout the length and breadth of the peninsula will be very long avoided by any guileful policy on the part of the young Sovereign of that principality. Modena must ultimately partake of the delights of liberty, and Venetian Lombardy must, in time, be so far affected by the surrounding atmosphere of independence as to arise with the rest of its compatriots, and pour libations to the Goddess of Freedom. It rests with Austrian despotism to decide whether or not those libations shall be libations of blood. It is stated by the Nuremberg Correspondent that while the POPE was, on the 14th inst., reviewing the national guard posted at the Quirinal, his HOLI NESS exhorted the civic soldiery to tarry in patience and confidence as to the fulfilment of their dearest aspirations ; because, said he, a league of the Italian Sovereigns will speedily be constituted for the purpose of ensuring to the entire peninsula " the regular progress of its institutions." That is the most encouraging declara tion yet made to the Italians ; it only requires a Con gress of those Italian Sovereigns in one or other of their capitals—say the Eternal City itself, as the most appropriate and decidedly the grandest locality in which such a conference could take place—to con firm the hopes of the multitude by affording them a visible token of their security. Whatever may be the details of this extraordinary arrangement, what ever may be the particular sequence of events in the different principalities, it is certain that Italy has at this moment virtually obtained its liberation, and that its inhabitants may rely implicitly upon the wisdom of such patriotic rulers as Pope Pius IX., as King CHARLES ALBERT, and as the Grand Duke LEopoLn 11. Modena will now stand alone in its absolutism as Marino has hitherto stood in its inde pendence. All Italy is forsaking its fraternity with Modena, and is aspiring to a brotherhood with the citizens of Marino. We yesterday announced the great fact of the formation of " The National Anti-Gold-law League," on the preceding evening, from which we draw the most propitious auguries for the future welfare of the country, and from whose exertions we look for the emancipation of our trade and commerce from the fetters and bonds by which they have hitherto been restricted and enchained. The new League will have to prepare itself for an arduous and difficult contest. It will have to encounter numerous impedi ments. Many will oppose what they conceive to be their own selfish interests to the general advantage, Already the proprietors of large fixed incomes, arising from funded property, mortgages, or other sources, which cannot be increased, no matter what may be the national prosperity, or deteriorated, as to the amount of the annual dividend or interest by any degree of adversity, they will believe that it must be more favourable for them to keep up the dearness and scarcity of money, although I the ruin of thousands may thereby be effected, and millions of their poorer brethren deprived of the employment that they would otherwise obtain, and the comforts they would thereby be enabled to procure for their families. Others will be led aside by high sounding phrases and plausible harangues. They will be persuaded that there can be but one measure of value, that a metallic medium is the only one that can safely be recognised, and that the adoption of any other is almost equivalent to a repudiation and an act of barefaced injustice, amounting to a robbery of the national creditor, and that it is incumbent on every honest and right-minded man to oppose with all his power any change in the present system. A still larger body will for a time remain apathetic, and without taking any part in the struggle on either side. Professing themselves unable to com prehend the details of a question so complicated and involved, they will desire to leave the contest to be fought by those who are more fully acquainted with the subject, and will thus, by the vis inertia, strengthen the hands of those who would keep matters in their present condition, who contend for the finality of our monetary arrangements, and that the 20,000,0001. in notes which the Bank of England and the private bankers are allowed, by the Act of 1844, to issue, without a corresponding deposit of gold in their coffers, and, indeed, without any security beyond that of the public debt due by the Government to the Bank, is to be regarded as the ne plus ultra—an Ultima Thule which cannot, in any state or condition cf the national finances, or under any possible cir cumstances, be exceeded. Again, even among the more zealous and enthusiastic reformers, men who are thoroughly convinced of the baleful effects of the present system, and the absolute necessity for a speedy revision of our financial code, many diffe rences still exist as to the nature and the extent of the alterations it would be desirable to sanction the character of the changes for which they should contend, and which they should demand at the hands of the Legislature. There are thus different classes, consisting of the unproductive and idle, living on fixed incomes, who conceive themselves " fruges consumere nati," and that any change may occasion the horrible necessity of making some exertions for their own livelihood, and entering on a course of honest industry in place of leading a life of idleness and repose. 2dly.

And, 4thly, The monetary reformers \ of every shade and diversity of opinion. rtlhoety yp s e, hould not, however, be disheartened by th e consideration o f t h ese diffi cu l t i es. " Their great po had to encounter similar ones, and to a much greater extent. They had th e owners an d occupiers of land in every part of the kingdom who erroneously believed that their very existence and means of support were involved in the maintenance of their monopoly, and the prohibitory and protect ive duties then in force. They had likewise mis taken men who thought that the agriculturists were entitled to protection in consequenc e of the weighty burdens which they had to sustain, and from which the foreign grower was exempted. They, too, had the . faineants who took little or no interest in the matter, and allowed it to be settled by wiser heads, and they had differences amongst themselves—th e advocates of sliding scales of various dimensions, the advocates of a moderate fixed duty, and those who 1 1 demanded the free and unconditional admission of the cereal products from all parts of the globe. But they triumphed over all, and attained a peaceful and glorious victory, within seven short years more 1 than realising the most sanguine anticipations of the zealous and enthusiastic leaders of the move ment. By what means was this unparallelled triumph achieved ? By the devotion, the untiring energy. the unremitting exertions of a few indefatigable men. !Meetings were held in every locality throughout the length and breadth of the laud ; addresses were un ceasingly issued and wafted on the wings of the press to every part of the empire ; lectures were delivered by talented and well-informed men, who invited discussion, and fearlessly entered the lists with every opponent. Corn-law rhymes and corn-law ballads were composed and circulated. The registrations were watched—Free-traders were invited to obtain the elective franchise, to which they were really entitled, and which a trifling exertion placed within their reach, and every minor difference was merged for the purpose of promoting the great end and object of all their desires. Funds were ob tained to an almost incredible extent. Those who were satisfied of the vast advantages, indeed, of the absolute necessity of the required alterations, re sponded to every demand of the Council with a spirit and liberality that was indeed surprising, and which could not be conceived or understood by those ignorant of the energy and determination of English men when thoroughly aroused. Calls for 2.5,000/. and 100,000/. and 250,000/. were in turn made and promptly answered ; there was no failure in the anti corn-law rent ; the Free-traders became united ; the apathetic were aroused ; the ignorant in structed ; the real consequences and the probable results of the change were explained to all ; and even a large portion of those who be lieved themselves personally interested in opposing the principle, and in retaining protection, were convinced that they would not be so deeply affected as they had imagined, but that they would obtain advantages which would more than counterbalance any probable loss, and thus were won to the side of those whom they had formerly opposed with their utmost vigour and ability. The ANTI-GOLD I.aw LEAGUB must act in a like manner. No pains or exertions can be omitted. If they desire success, their first duty is to enlighten the people and to remove.the ignorance that prevails on the subject, constant discussions must take place; the public mind cannot be suffered to relapse into apathy, or the interest once awakened to be abated. They have a precedent before them as to how they are to act ; if they follow it boldly and manfully they must succeed—the ultimate triumph is certain ; but if they relax in their exertions, it were better that they had never entered upon the conflict. We learn from Cologne that on the 23d the King of PRUSSIA, passing through that city, stopped to visit the Cathedral, of which he is the Protector, and the new buildings at the Civil Hospital. The Communal Council being assembled, appointed M. ST UPP, one of its members, to deliver an address to his MAJESTY, thanking him for having granted a Communal Organization, in harmony with the propositions of the Provincial Diets, but at the same time expressing a hope that he would receive favourably their recent request for the Communal debates being public. The KING replied as follows : " I was not prepared to meet you here. lam nevertheless well pleased at finding you in one of the finest monuments of this city. Gentlemen, the revo lution secured for you but very few liberties. (Here his Majesty gesticulated strongly with his hand, in which he held his glove, adding still greater expres sion to his thrilling words.) I wished to give you a communal constitution much more free (that of the ancient provinces), but you would not accept it, preferring this (the French constitution). You know that the Prussian communal constitution comprises much more freedom than yours. It may be that that which you have preferred accords better with your situation ; but since you have chosen it, let us confine ourselves within its sphere, without wishing to go beyond it. We will endeavour to realise thereby gradually some new improvements. Make good use of the constitution you have got, but do not attempt to go beyond it." It is currently reported that the abdication of MARIE-LOUISE, the Grand Duchess of Parma, is settled ; there is only a question of fixing the pension which must be made to her. It results from these circumstances, if they should be accomplished, that the reigning family of Lucca would be called on to succeed the ex-Empress at Parma, and that the Duchy of Lucca would be incorporated with Tus cany, the whole in virtue of the treaty of Vienna. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 24th announced the discovery of a species of conspiracy in Leghorn. The account it gave was confused and imperfect, but this deficiency has been supplied by a letter, which informs us that some of the police agents, who are hostile to all notions of reform, having attacked in the night a small group of young men noted for their liberalism, the populace rose and drove the policemen out of the city. The people in their excitement proceeded to arrest a great many persons suspected of entertaining opinions adverse to reform and improvement, and, if the Turin letter is correct, some of these persons were wounded. To put an end to this state of dis order the Government issued the following proclama tion, dated the 22d : " Livornese,—Some alarming reports, disseminated during the last few days, have created a fear that public security was about to be disturbed by the plots of conspirators. These reports have afforded a pretext to some ill-disposed individuals to commit acts blameable as being arbitrary and violent, and which would have been attended with serious consequences but for the intervention of the patrols of the civic vo lunteers. To put an end to disorder so grave, the local Government, invested with sufficient authority by the superior Government, has resolved to call im mediately into active service the civic guard. The command of this body, under the provisional direction of the Gonfaloniere, is intrusted to the chefs de ba tadlon Bartolommei and Pacho. All the good citi zens of Leghorn are invited to concur and aid in this duty, and the people are warned that all the orders, which the said civic guard may have occasion to issue for the re-establishment of public tranquillity, must be respected and carried into execution. In fine, to give complete assurance to the public mind, the go vernor makes known that all the persons most openly accused by the public voice have spontaneously sur rendered themselves into the hands of the authorities, and have been transferred to a place of security, there to undergo a formal examination ; the result of which the public is desired to wait for in calmness and con fidence." This proclamation seems to have had its intended effect. At the same time we learn that the Sardinian Government not having acceded to the project of an address to be presented to it by the inhabitants of Genoa, and which several journals have published, as having actually been transmitted to the King of SARDINIA, that address has been postponed. The Alba has the following from Leghorn :—" On the evening of the 19th two unarmed civic guards, being on their way to the guard-house to join their comrades, were met by seven or eight ruffians, who whilst uttering cries against the PorE, attacked them, and wounded one slightly in the arm, while the other was stretched on the ground with three serious wounds in his leg. After this disgraceful victory, they fled crying—" Long live the Aus trians !" Madrid Journals of the 24th instant have arrived. Mr. BULWER returned to Madrid from La Granja, on the 23d. The Afrancesado papers state, that his return was occasioned by a dispatch from Lord PAL MERSTON, instructing him to wait on the QUEEN, and assure her MAJESTY that the British Cabinet would aid in dissolving her marriage with DON FRANCISCO, and in bringing about a marriage with the Count of MONTEMOLIN, and the re-establishment of the Salique law. It is, however, not very probable that either Lord PALMERSTON or Mr. BULWER would acquaint the editors of the Afrancesado papers with the con tents of their dispatches. NARVAEZ is still at Madrid intriguing for the re storation of the Afrancesados to power. The state of Navarre is represented as most alarm ing ; a general outbreak of the Carlists is expected there daily. General CONCHA, the Captain-General of Cata tonia, has declared the frontier of the Pyrenees to be in a state of close blockade, excepting where the high road from Barcelona to Perpignan passes by Junquera. MADRID BOLSA, SETT. 24.—The Three per Cents. closed on the 24th at 26 paper ; the:Five per Cents. at 171 for cash ; Passives 5i cash ; Coupons, 14 paper. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.

No one comprehends better than we that the Ministry should withstand the Opposition, should risk its existence, should ac cept the combat, should not allow itself to be intimi dated by any resistance whatever, when the question turns on some great public interest, on a decisive vic tory, a valuable conquest, a memorable undertaking, a fruitful reform, a progress misunderstood ; but what we cannot comprehend is, that a Government should decide on staking its popularity against puerilities, on toiling back through the course of time in order to effect—what ? To varnish over a democratic society of barons and counts of false alloy, a nobility without being illustrious ; or, in other words, to re store, after two-and-thirty years of peace, the dignity of Marshal-General of France, to confer it on an old man of 80 ! Far be it from us to cast the slightest stain on the glory of Marshal Soult ; we honour as much as any one the long and brilliant services which he has rendered to his country ; we should have ap proved of some striking homage being rendered to his great experience ; but we cannot give our appro • bation to a tribute which appears paid to a puerile vanity, and which seems to transform into a child's rattle his Marshal's baton, so gloriously gained ! Better things might have been done than to create a dignity without functions ; there was an opportunity of instituting great state dignitaries by nominating Marshal Soult Commander-in Chief of the army, a post held by the Duke of Wellington in England.' In the same journal we find an article urging the French Government to form an alliance with the different states of Europe nominally for the purpose of attacking the naval supremacy of England, but really for the purpose of realising that dream of universal empire in which France is ever and anon wont to indulge. The text from which the Presse preaches is a note addressed on the Ist of February, 1825, by M. DE VILLELE to the French Ambassador in London, in which that astute Minister lays down a plan for exploiting Europe to the advantage of France by fostering dissensions between England and the other powers. There can be little doubt but that the present Government of France is acting upon the principles of M. DE VILLELE, and we therefore reproduce this important State paper. " France," says M. DE VILLELE, " is in a mixed situation which imposes on her a more reserved and less defined con duct than on states whose position is simple. We have one foot on land and the other on the sea, and a new constitution and a King of the family that has reigned over us for centuries. We live on a credit founded on the produce of indirect taxes, and we have nothing solid but the products of our soil. England will always regard us as the only country whose rivalry she has to fear on the points: most dear to her, and the powers of the Continent will regard us as a mo narchy imperfectly restored, whose new institutions and ancient military power place their repose and security in danger. We cannot, then, in reality reckon upon any body, and, above all, we are bound not to give ourselves up to any body. To the injustice of England we must oppose our union with the powers of the Continent ; to the exactions of the latter we must oppose the dread of the cessation of the union of all the Cabinets of the Continent. We are not strong enough alone to resist England on the seas, or to struggle against the Continent with the formidable alliance that exists there. What, then, is to he done in this situation ? To defend our honour and our safety against all if an attempt should be ever made to attack them ; but to renounce all pretension of imposing on others laws, the execution of which we are not in a condition to enforce. Thus, with regard to England, not to follow her example when she does wrong, and to tell her plainly as we are doing that we do not imitate her because we think she does wrong. As regards our allies of the Continent, to resist their demands if ever they should make any that are unreasonable and contrary to our interests. With this not very brilliant but sure conduct to maintain as long as we can the general peace, of which we have so much need, to repair our losses both as a° maritime and continental power, and as a restored country after a terrible revolution. To wait until the continental or maritime colossal powers formed upon our ruins and during our follies shall become weak or divided, to watch with care the new combination which events may produce, and to be always ready to profit by them, and resume a posi tion which cannot fail to be soon attained by what still remains of the real and moral force of France- Such is my opinion; on the ensemble of conduct. It does not exclude the examination on every occasion of the isolated acts which might contribute to raise us sooner to a strong position. In fact the affairs of the East may, as regards the Continent, bring about combinations of a nature to gis e us a higher im portance." It behoves the Powers of Europe to beware lest their differences should afford, to the present rulers of France, that opportunity after which M. DE VIL LELE sighed in vain. On the subject of the loan we find the following in the Constitutionnel " The Budget of 1849 is at the present moment a subject of grave difficulty for the Minister of Finance, and, indeed, for the whole Cabinet. The obstacles which present themselves to the loan are essentially connected with these difficulties, and singularly com plicate the financial position. Several journals have announced, without, however, appearing to attach great confidence to the declaration, that the Minister of Finance, in consequence of having access to private resources, had postponed to an inde terminate period the task of contracting the loan. According to the information which we have procured from a good source we are inclined to think that the position of the Minister of Fi nance is not such as that he can as yet come to any decisien relative to that measure. M. Dumon, on the contrary, alarmed, with just reason, at the diffi culties which the financial crisis is calculated to create for him in effecting the loan, is at the present moment endeavouring to seek out, without, however, knowing if he can find them, the means of postponing that painful undertaking. For that purpose he has just applied to his colleagues to send him in forthwith the elements necessary for the formation of the Budget of 1849, and to concert together on the means of con fining the total within the narrowest possible limits. It is not until after that preparatory labour, and when he shall have decided on the principal basis of the Budget for 1849, that the Hon. Minister will be able to judge of his wants and resources, and that he can at last determine the period and condition s of the loan."

PAGE, has received instructions to renew friendly relations with Queen RaNavaLo, of Madagascar. He is to take with him for that purpose an official letter and presents for her MAJESTY.

MARRIAGE OF THE COUNTESS DOWAGER IVALDE• GRAVE.—Yesterday forenoon the marriage of the Dow ager Countess NV aldegrave. widow of the late Earl Waldegrave, and of John James Henry Waldegrave, Esq., with George Granvill- Harcourt, Esq., M.P. for Oxford, was celebrated at Belhus, Essex, the seat of Sir Thomas Barnett Leonard, Bart. The ceremony was performed in the parish church adjoining, the Rev. Spencer Braham, brother to the beautiful and accom plished bride, officiating, her venerable father, the distinguished vocalist, for the third time in the holy state of matrimony, giving her away. At the conclusion of the service the happy pair left for Nuneham, Oxford shire, the seat of the bridegroom's father, the Arch bishop of York, there to pass the honeymoon. Mr. Harcourt, who is in the 63d year of his age, was pre viously married to Lady Elizabeth Bingham (sister to the Earl of Lucan) who died in 1838. The late Earl Waldegrave died on the 28th of September in the past year. Her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul. General (Mr. James Brooke) to the Sultan and Independent Chiefs of Borneo, is doily expected to arrive at South ampton in the East India Company's steamer Nemesis, from the Indian Archipelago. A. suite of apartments bane been taken at Mirart's for hie reception. ..140.N.EY hind CONDIENCIAL CITY, QIMITTEI? TO 7. 1:1: PE. The Cotton Market at Livarpool yesterday waa with out any irnprotrement. S,les, 3,500 [mks. American, sold at 61d. to "id. per lb. Railway shares wr,ro dull, and without alteration. The staie of feeling in the City has been gloomier this morning than even for some days past. Besides Messrs. Lyall, Brothers, in the East India trade, with liabilities to the extent of 300,000/. or 400,0001;, we have Messrs. Samuel Phillips and Son, connected with the African and Indian trades, for 150,000/.; and we fear we must add another house, though caution restrains us at preFent from the mention of the name. Some people ask what the Government is about ? The mere intima tion that the 139.nk was empowered to issue more notes might stop atie mercantile panic, and yet without any necessity to bolster up insolvent firms. Houses that are good cannot stand without some aid, when each suc ceeding failure adds to their losses ; nor can any evi dence be more conclusive upon this point than that af f orded by the balance-sheet of Mr. Robinson, the late Governor of the Bank of England, who ought never to have bee❑ allowed to suspend. Most alarming reports have been circulated again respecting a great trading company, said to have stopped payment, with liabilities to the amount of two millions sterling. The Bank of England has added to the excitement by refusing loans upon Stock and Exchequer-bills, even at the rate established yesterday-51 per cent. The Fuods are most seriously affected this morning. Consuls opened, at 851 for Money, and 85/ for Ac count, but are 84, 5 , I f now. Exchequer• bills are par to 33. premium. Bank Stock for Account is 196. No one seems inclined to do business. Spanish Three per Cents. are 28i, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 23 ; Brazil Stock, ex dividend, is 78 ; Dutch Two. and-a Half per Cents. are 541 to 534. Railway Shares have been lower, as a matter of course, and it is, perhaps, a consolation that they can be sold at all just now. ONE CLOSING ItIcES OF BRITISH FUNDS. 017:I;(CK. PRICES. 3 per Cent.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. A full average quantity of English Wheat, of upwards of 4,000 quarters, has come to hand for our market this week ; and the show of samples to•day was moderately extensive. Owing, in some measure, to the large quan tities of American Flour pressing tor sale, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was heavy, at a decline on Monday's currencies of from is to 2s per quarter. Foreign Wheat—the supply of which on offer was extensive—met a very slow inquiry, at is to 2s per quarter less money. Jlalting Barley supported late rates, but grinding and distilling sorts were very dull, and the term cheaper. The sale for Malt was wholly in retail, at late currencies. As the supply of foreign Oats was great, viz., 40,600 quarters, the trade was very dull, at 6d per quarter decline on Monday's figures. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour were very heavy, but not lower. Wheat. ARRIVALS. Harley. English ...... 4,340 qrs. I 2,730-qrs, Irish. ........

Although there was a slight falling off in the supply of Beasts on sale to-day, compared with that exhibited on Friday last, it was quite equal to the wants of the buyers. The few prime Scots, &c., on offer moved off steadily at full prices; otherwise the beef trade was heavy, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported. The numbers of foreign stock comprised 447 Oxen and Cows, 3,300 Sheep and Lambs, 190 Calves, and 47 Pigs, mostly in bad condition. With En glish Sheep we were scantily supplied; nevertheless, the inquiry for that description of stock was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the currencies of 2d per 81bs, the highest figure for the best Downs not exceeding 5s 4d per Blbs. Lambs are now out of season. Prime small Calves were quite as dear, but tlie inferior qualiLes of Veal were a mere drug. Pigs were in full average sup ply, and sluggish inquiry, at late rates.

PARISH OF SAINT CLEMENT, NEAR EASTCHEAP. Henry Thomas Jo nes , of sTo. 2, Baldwin-court, claimed to be placed upon the register. His claim was made with respect to a portion of the above named residence, which he occupied, there being two separate entrances to the premises. Mr. Brown objected to the claim, on the ground that although there were two separate entrances they were common to both the landlord and the claimant, the former of whom resided on the premises as well as the latter. Mr. S. Smith contended, on the other hand, that there was no exclusive occupation on the part of the landlord, and the claimant was therefore entitled to have his claim allowed. Mr. APCHRISTIE felt unwilling to reject the claim, but he thought that he would be under the necessity of doing so, as it appeared that the landlord occu pied part of the house to which there was a common entry.—Claim rejected. The claim of John March was objected to by Mr. Brown, on the ground of hi s no t b e i ng rate d . Mr. March said that he was not rated, and had not made any application to be rated. Mr. Smith produced an application to be rated, and in reply to a question put to him, Mr. March ad mitted that it bore his signature, but stated that some parties called upon him, and requested him to sign the paper, which he did, nut knowing the nature of the document to which he had affixed his name. The Learned BARRISTER cautioned him to be more careful in future, with respect to signing docu• ments presented to him for his signature.—Name expunged. PARISH OF ST. LAWRENCE, FOUNTNEY. During the revision of the lists of this parish, Mr. S. Smith called the attention of the Court to the cir cumstance of a large number of the houses in this parish not being described with any number. The whole of the houses in Swan-lane were in this situation, as were also those of Arthur-street West. The overseer said that there were no numbers to any of the houses. Some discussion ensued as to the course which the Court ought to adopt under the circumstances, the 40th section of the Act requiring that the numbers of the houses should he inserted. Mr. Smith contended that some of the houses in the streets referred to were numbered, and that in such case where the house was numbered, and no number appeared in the lists of the overseers, the name of the occupier ought to be expunged. Mr. Brown, on the other side, contended that the Court had the power in such case to amend the list by the insertion of the number, upon evidence of the same being given, but had not the power to expunge a name under such circumstances. The cases were ordered to stand over, to afford the overseer an opportunity of ascertaining whether the houses were numbered or not. PARISH OF ST. MARGARET, NEW FISH-STREET. Several cases occurred in this parish of omission on the part of the overseer, in continuing to keep the names of parties upon the rate book, which led to their names being expunged. In each of the cases the overseers were fined in the sum of 3/. WESTMINSTER. (Before F. BAYLEY, Esq.) The Revising Barrister sat this morning in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, 'Westminster Hall. The St. John's list was first proceeded with. John Massey Wood, inspector of nuisances and of paving to the Paving Board, was objected to on the ground that he was a police constable in the terms of the Act. It appeared that he had been sworn before Mr. May, the inspector of ;police, in order that he might be enabled to arrest persons in his capacity of in spector, should it be necessary to do so, the Paving Board not being able to endow him with that power. lie, however, received no remuneration from the po. lice, and the swearing in was only effected for the purpose of enabling him to discharge a portion of his duties. Mr. Huggett held that the fact of his being sworn in as a constable clearly disqualified Mr. %Vood under the Police Act. Mr. Hibble opposed the objection, and contended that Mr. Wood could not be considered a constable. The REVISING BARRISTER said, after a careful perusal of the Registration and Police Acts, he had arrived at the opinion that Mr. Wood was not entitled to vote. Mr. John Norris, cab proprietor, who appeared on the list for a house situated at No. 12, Little Chapel street, Westminster, was objected to on the ground that he was not an inhabitant householder. Mr. Norris lived next door (No. 13), but he occupied no portion of the premises at No. 12, neither had he A key. Objection allowed. Mt. Arrison, of Marsharn-street, was objected to on the ground that, as a scot and lot voter, he had only paid one-third of the assessment. Mr. Arrison stated that he ,had paid all th a t had been claimed o f hi m , t h e fault, if fault at all, did not lie with him but with the authorities. Mr. Nibble considered the vote a good one, Mr. Arrison had paid all the taxes that had been de manded of him. Mr. lluggett (who objected to the vote) said the case was an important one, inasmuch as there were nearly fifty votes of the same kind. The REVISING BARRISTER considered the vote a good one. St. Margaret's was next proceeded with. MEETING AT SIR R. PEEL'S.—The ex-Premier, who has lately been turning his attention to the im provement of agriculture, last week invited a party of scientific and practical agriculturists, geologists, bota nists, &c., among whom were Earl Talbot, Lord For rester, Lord Hatherton, Mr. F. Lawley, Dr. Buckland Dean of Westminster, Dr. Lyon Playfair, Dr. Lindley, Rev. Mr. Huxtable, Mr. Jonathan Peel, Captain mike, Mr. Mechi, Mr. F. Woodward, M r. J os i ah Parkes, & c. Animated discussions took place on the subjects of cat tle-feeding, under-draining, &c., and the substance of them, it is hoped, will shortly be published. Sir R. Peel, in his retirement from office, is thus fulfilling another and not less important duty—that of holding Out an example to country gentlemen for the improve ment of their estates, so as to meet the altered spirit of the times.— Worcestershire Chronicle. TUE LATE ROBERT T 1102 47 ESQ.—Lord John Rus sell has kindly and considerately presented to Mrs. Thom, mother of the late Robert Thom, Esq., Consul at Ningpo, China, 2501. out of the Queen's Bounty Fund. Mr. Th om , we understand, has acquired a new claim or_ grat i t ude of his country by devoting th e l ast week o tle his life to preparation for publishing another work 04 his favourite topic. It is entitled " The Chinese Speaker. Elementary works in Chinese literature have long been felt to be a desideratum. The production of our lamented townsman goes far, we aro told, to supply the want. Copies of it have just arrived in England.—Glusgew Chronicle. PORTUGUESE CATTLE.—We have to record a very remarkable arrival from the south of Europe. The vessel Falcao, of Portugal, which has arrived at the Brunswick wharf, Blackwall, from Lisbon and Oporto, has brought, in addition to a cargo consisting almost entirely of fruits and other productions of a seasonable character, 130 oxen, the produce of Portugal. By the vessel arriving at the Blackwall-wharf, we presume it to be a steamer which has been employed to facilitate the arrival of the perishable fruits an,l live stock at their destination, and we do not think that any previous instance has occurred of a steamer belonging to that state having been em ployed to traffic with merch an di se to t h e British metropolis. -- 7341 it cou dinari Th( be an elaimc In i in the to ren His to be not be TIN Mr. ( and t it Buff His be sat the i by b btl prop he b take ling a ju The chat mu!
