The prices cannot go down much, for in sight of so many ships lying in the harbour the holders - will not be moved to make any abatement ; and the weather is so very unpropitious, that we cannot expect any very large supplies from the interior.

Ready money begins to be in more general circulation. [PRICE SD. English F un d s opened this morn and with every appearance MONEY-YEARKE'r and CITY NEWS . CITY, F RIDAY EVENING. ing Tl a ll t lE a TlMES.— rth T e l r ie ad E v n ance, of a continuance of the rise. A reaction has, how ever, occurred, and prices have left off about a quar ter per cent. below those of yesterday. The first quotation of Consols for Money was 832- to f, at which (with the exception of a temporary decline to 83+) they remained, until reports were circulated of disturbances in the north, caused by the suspension of railway works, when a decline took place to 82/. At the close of business the price was 83, buyers. For the Account the first price was 834. to 4, and after receding to 82i, Consols left off at 831. Anti cipations regarding the Gazette returns of the Bank contributed to the afternoon's depression. In the Stock Exchange money fur short periods could easily be had at .5 per cent. During the day Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. gave notice of their intention to reduce to 5 per cent. their rate fur money at call. The foreign securities left off heavily, but there was not much business transacted. In the foreign exchanges to-day the supply of bills was not large, and the rate s were , generally speaking, rather lower ban last post. It is understood that the Russian Government have made arrangements for the shipment of gold .to the amount of 800,000 half-imperials to this country. A portion of the insurance has been effected at Lubeck and Hamburgh, and this afternoon a considerable sum has been done at Lloyd's. About 200,000 are also expected on private account. The value of the half-imperial is about 16s. 3d. sterling. The Princess Royal steamer, from Hamburgh, arrived to-day, has brought about 21,0001. in gold; and the Giraffe steamer, from Rotterdam, about 15,0001. A failure, small in amount, but much regretted, was announced to-day, the parties being Messrs. Judah Cohen and Sons, West India merchants. The house was a very old one; but, with the depreciation of West India property, its transactions had diminished, and the present liabilities do not ex ceed 52,0001., of which 8,0001. is covered. It is understood, that finding, on a minute investigation of his affairs, that the value of his assets fell short of his engagements by about 2,0001. or 4,0001., Mr. Cohen at once resolved to stop, although the step might easily have been deferred, as it was not ren dered inevitable by any immediate pressure. Under these circumstances, therefore, there is reason to hope for a favourable liquidation. The amount of accept ances in the above total of liabilities is 13,0001. The private letters from Liverpool and Manchester have to-day been much more cheerful. At the latter f p a l i a r c e amountitissa o id hr f actualte e was bu an s ine sismp. This roved a m f t e a r r n k o e o t , with n ,h ow ever, it became known in London that Messrs. Mars land, Veltmann, and Co., of Manchester and Stock port, had been unable to meet their engagements. Mr. Marsland was the colleague of Mr. Cobden in the last Parliament in the representation of Stock port, and his family have long been identified with the interests of the place. The general impression is that everybody will be paid in full, the senior partner having private property (upon which at the present time he had endeavoured in vain to raise money), irrespective of his capital in the concern. It is, indeed, not deemed impossible that the difficulty may prove only a temporary one. The amount of liabilities has not been stated, but it is supposed they are not very large. In their circular, dated Liverpool last evening, Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co. give the follow ing account of their recent application to the Bank of England : "As misstatements continue to be published, and much misapprehension exists as to our late application to the Bank of England, we think it well to state the facts, for the satisfaction of our friends abroad, which were simply these:—The stoppage of the Royal Bank, on the 18th of October, proved the climax of mistrust and alarm. At such a juncture it was needless to apply to any other local bank to take up the account; we, therefore, went to the Bank of England, and asked them to open an account with us, on similar terms to those we had with the Royal Bank, and to afford us facilities of discount to the extent of 100,0001. both wbieh were acceded to in the most handsome manner. No loan of Consols or advance of money was required, or securities asked far, nor have we as yet availed ourselves of the amount granted for the discount of a single bill." MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. The quarterly general meeting of the governors of this hospital was held on Thursday, in the board room of the institution. The minutes of the weekly board having been read and proposed for confirmation, Mr. BREWSTER moved an amendment, " That they be not confirmed," as they contained the suspension of Mr. Leeson, one of the surgeons of the hospital, upon charges made but not yet substantiated against him by the other medical officers. He was neither the friend nor the partisan of Mr. Leeson, and merely adopted this course be cause he felt that it was incumbent on those medical officers either to say more or be silent altogether. Mr. FREWER. having seconded the amendment, Mr. BAILEY, a member of the weekly board, en tered into a detailed defence of their conduct, in sus pending Mr. Leeson. The committee appointed on the subject had, he said, considered it expedient for the interests of the hospital, seeing that the other medical officers had refused to consult with that gen tleman, to call upon him to resign. This Mr. Lee son refused to do. The question came before the weekly board, who also found reason for calling upon him to' resign ; but he again declined. They then asked him if he proposed an investigation, and he said he did not, because he thought he would not have a fair trial. The weekly board, however, had not suspended Mr. Leeson indefinitely, for they bad not the power to do so, but only until the next quar terly or special meeting. Mr. SMITH and other members of the weekly board having declared that there was no other course open to them consistently with the interests of the hospital, Mr. LEESON observed, that on the 6th of August he formally demanded from the board a full investi gation, the reply to which simply stated that his communication had been laid before the board, and since then he had heard nothing on the subject. w e hi of o h t h it was understood me d icalofficers, containedprodu c e d againstt a h b e 3tni c nr h d. a lß r e g n e flir s jpetEtergrs'n Mr. Leeson, and which he said he was prepared to hand to a proper tribunal, provided he was guaranteed against legal proceedings. After a discussion of some hours' length Mr. Brewster intimated that he would withdraw his amendment, and substitute a motion confirming the minutes of the weekly board, but without prejudice to the case of Mr. Leeson, which should stand for the consideration of a special board. This course w as eventually adopted in a resolution confirming the minutes, and recommending that a special meeting.be convened for the 13th of December , to take t ha t gentleman's case into consideration , in thattbn meantime suspended, and it being be taken evidence of the charges against him should be understoodbeing by a committee of ten, five of w hom should be ap lt • ap pointed by each side, and that no ulterior legal pro ceedings would be resorted to by him.

" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced as to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtainiag any satisfactory relief from pain. Daring one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and REIEIJMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in seine severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored use to health, since which I have had no return of the complalut. " I trust you willgive publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMTTII."

The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

THE COURT.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.--In consequence of the meeting of Parliament on the 18th instant, the visit of the Court to Osborne House has now been postponed until the end of this month ; it being her Majesty's intention to open the new Parlia ment (notwithstanding the statements which have been made to the contrary) in person, on Tuesday, the 23d instant.

William 1C , 30g, M.P. ; Mau rice Power, M.P.; O'Gorman Mabon, &c. At twelve o'clock the chair was taken by the Right Hon. Lord Cloncurry. His LORDSHIP briefly addressed the meeting, say ing that he was sure that they would be unanimous in adopting the resolutions which ha.d been prepared after the fullest consideration—c Hear, hear)—for men of all creeds and politics agreed in the necessity which existed for Government relief ; in fact, it was not denied that the most frightful consequences would result from any delay being allowed to take place on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) It was said once that if nothing else could be done to support a people by employment, a Government would be justified— would be bound to employ the poorer classes in dig ging holes one day to fill up the next.—(Hear, hear.) Now he (Lord Cloncurry) was of the same opinion, and hoped that the Government would fill up the holes this year which they dug the last. They should do so at once, for employment was required to save human life.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, his Lord ship called on the secretary to read the reports from the committee, which he strongly recommended to the consideration of her Majesty's Ministers, together with the resolution which would be proposed for the adoption of the meeting. Sir COLEMAN O'LOGHLEN, Bart., then read the following reports, which were adopted by the as sembly. "REPORT OF THE IRISH COUNCIL TO THE AGGREGATE MEETING or PEERS, MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT, &C. "The Irish Council having invited your attendance at a public meeting in Dublin, on this day, and hav ing undertaken to communicate such suggestions as in their power, on the subjects which appear most urgently to call for your presence and deliberation, beg leave to submit to your attention the subjoined expression of their opinion on the subjects following:— "1. As to supplies of food. That it will again be necessary to procure and distribute supplies of food to great numbers of our destitute population. That although this necessity arises from a calamity to meet which the funds of the State are properly applicable, yet, that in default of such provision by the State, it is the duty of the Irish people, to the full extent of all the resources of the country, to provide against any of our fellow-countrymen perishing from want of the necessaries of life. That, therefore, we are of opinion—seeing that further appeals, however just, to the Imperial Treasury would but perpetuate the reproach and evil of national mendicancy—that we ought ourselves to bear the charge of supplying Go vernment with the means of purchasing whatever may be requisite for preserving the lives of this people ; and we invite the Parliament now about to assemble, to impose a tax on Ireland for that purpose without delay. "That it is the duty of Government, being so sup plied, to provide adequate means for the prompt and economic procuring and distributing of relief ; and the Council earnestly hope that the public servants who are charged with that grave responsibility will profit by the experience of the past year, so as to save our society alike from the loss of human life and from the degradation of unnecessary reliance on elee mosynary support. " It appears to the Irish Council that the only just mode of imposing such a tax as they think this country ought to be willing to undergo for these purposes, is by such method, direct or indirect, as shall distribute the burden rateably, and make avail able the means of all those who can afford to contri bute to the common necessity. The Council have never ceased to protest against the injustice of charg ing taxation for such purposes on a particular class of the community ; they have seen, with alarm for the safety of the whole social fabric, the attempt, by force of such a partial distribution of taxation, to con fiscate the estates of the landed gentry of Ireland, and have heard with indignation the calumny which would impute dishonest motives to men who only contend against being burdened with more than their rateable proportion of the public loss, and who, the Council are persuaded, will never shrink from the just liabi lities and duties of their position. " The Council, entertaining these views, have given much consideration to the question of permanent as well as temporary measures for the relief of the poor ; and the result of the fullest consideration which they have been able to give this subject, is their opinion : " That in any permanent poor-law for the country, all the charge beyond such local rate as may be sufficient to give individual inducement to keep down pauperism, ought to be borne by an income or pro perty-tax. That the aged and infirm destitute ought to be comfortably provided for, and relief to the able bodied given only in exchange for labour; and that in addition to an alms department for the aged and infirm, each relief establishment ought to comprise an industrial department and school of labour, and ought to be made, as far as possible, to support its own expenses. " The Council are, however, sensible that we must not only seek to distribute equitably the wealth which we possess, but we must use every effort to increase our means by the production of additional wealth ; and seeing that the necessity of some additional stimu lus to agricultural improvement generally admitted, and that a law securing compensation to tenants for their improvements, would probably induce a large expen diture of capital and labour, and greatly increase the annual return from our soil, the Council have devoted much attention to the subject of a Tenants' Compen sation Bill; and beg leave to refer to the report of their sub-committee, suggesting the principal provi sions of such a measure.

" The additional wealth which might be drawn from our fisheries has been another subject of much consideration ; and it is very satisfactory to the Council to refer to the Irish Fishery Company, which now only awaits the granting of its charter to commence active operations. " The Council have already 'made public their vie ws respecting the best mode of encouraging re productive industry in manufactures, and beg leave to refer you to their report and petition, which em body their views on that subject. " Another subject which has occupied the attention of the Council is that of currency ; and it being their opinion that additional currency is necessary to supply the place of those irregular mediums of ex change attendant on the potato system of agricul ture, they would beg to suggest the expediency of taking some steps to procure an issue of Government debentures for this country. " The Council being desirous to take your opinion on the several topics above indicated, have drawn up a series of resolutions, expressive of their opinions on each, and beg leave to submit them to your theconsidera tionnt,;ensawAm. hope and confidence that they will receive cal obexza ii imi j a lhd t v vtAiE i exa m inat i on, o , :m a mFs n Eo d y. , RoNou i f 4:Lu a cao ffi phspGa r ori m arosmv id a,al , En. .s acquire great ad ditional Hon.

" FIRST REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE IRISH COUNCIL ON THE RELATION OF LANDLORD AND TENANT IN IRELAND " Your Committee having in the first place directed their attention to the consideration of the best method of securing to a tenant compensation for his improve ments, in case of his removal, beg leav t to bring before you the following suggestions for a Tenants' Compensation Bill, as the result of their e &liberations on the subject : , "1. That an improvement' entitling. to .compen sation, should be defined to be any work exec uted by a tenant which should increase the letting value of the land. "2. That there should be a register c ;improve ments in every barony, in which should be entered all improvements made by a tenant for w -hich he in tends to claim compensation, such registe r to be kept by the clerk of the peace for the time bein g. "3. That a party desirous of register ing his im provements, should serve notice of his int( estion so to do on the clerk of the peace, and on his landlord or his agent, one month at least before the fame for re • gistering the same; specifying in such nc. lice the im provement proposed to be registered, and the period within which it was executed. " 4. That the registration of improvements should take place at a fixed time before some local tribunal, such as the baronial or quarter sessions, or board of guardians ; and that on the day appointed for regis tering the same the applicant should attend before such tribunal and should prove the particulars speci fied in the notice. • "5. That where the improvements proposed to be registered should be agricultural improvements, the only matter t o b e i nquired into be f ore suc h tribunal (except i n the case of drainage and subsoiling) should b e th e fact of the wor k h av i ng been done by the tenant—the time when executed — and the services of the necessary notic es; and if it should appear that the work had been done . and the necessary notices served, then the nature and descrip tion of the work and the time of its execution should be entered in the register book of the clerk of the peace, whose duty it should be, in person or by deputy, to attend before such tribunal. " 6. That in the case of drainage and subsoiling, the landlord, or his agent, should have notice pre vious to the execution of the work, and •opportuities of inspecting it during its progress, so. as at the time of registration to be enabled to dispnte, if necessary, the description or specification of the work as given by the tenant; and at the time of registration, proof of such notice having been given, should, in addition to the other matters, be required from the tenant. " 7. That no tenant should be entitled to register farm or other buildings of a permanent nature, of any greater value than: two years Poor-law valuation of his farm unless he shall have had the consent in wri ting of his landlord to the erection or to the registra tion of the same—such consent to be filed with the clerk of the peace on effecting the registration. "8. That every tenant, on the expiration of his tenancy, should be entitled to compensation for all his exhausted registered improvements, such com pensation to be the full value of the same, in their then state and condition. "9. That in the event of disagreement as to the then value of said improvements, the same should be ascertained by arbitration — one arbitrator to be nam e d by the landlord, and one by the tenant, with po wer t o shall such agreearbitrators u topo upon suchselect a umpire, mpiumpirere,the matt er i n dis pute between them should be referred to an o ff ic i a l ; and in ca se th ey referee, whose decision should be final. "10. That in ascertaining the existing value of the tenant's improvements, the arbitrators should, in the first place, estimate the cost of such improvements ; and should then ascertain the difference between the full improved rent of the land, and the rent for which, without such improvements, it would then let to a solvent tenant on a lease for 21 years; and if said difference should amount to seven per cent., or upwards, on the cost of said improvements, estimated in manner aforesaid, then the arbitrators should award to the tenant the full amount of such estimated cost ; and in case the same should be less than seven per cent., then only a proportionate part of such estimated cost, and the sum so awarded should be deemed the unexhausted value of said improvements. " 11. That where any waste should have been committed upon any portion of the letting, the arbi trators should take the same into consideration, and having ascertained the amount, set it off against the compensation, and strike a balance. " 12. That on the expiration of a tenancy, every landlord should have the option of at once paying off the amount so ascertained as due to the tenants for improvements, or of granting to the tenant a renewal of his tenancy for 21 years, at such rent as should be settled upon by mutual agreement between the parties. " 13. That in the event of disagreement as to the rent, the same should be settled by arbitration ; such rent to be the fair letting value of the lands in their then state and condition, on the assumption of their being, at the time of the valuation, to be let on lease for 21 years to a solvent tenant paying a fine for the lease, equivalent to the amount of compensation so ascertained to be due to the former outgoing tenant. " 14. That on such lease being granted (which the lessee should have the power of assigning), the same should be a satisfaction to the tenant for all claims for improvements made up to the time of granting such lease. " 15. That where a lease for twenty-one years should not be sufficient to repay a tenant for his im provements (as might occur in the case of the re clamation of waste land), th e ar bi tra t ors s h ou ld decid e , in the event of disagreement, to what term of years the new lease should be extended. " 16. That in case of an eviction of a tenant's in terest for non-payment of rent, where the amount due to the tenant for improvements was more than the amount of rent due, the landlord should have the option of paying to the tenant the value of his im provements, ascertained in manner before mentioned, less by the amount due to him fur rent, taxes, and costs ; or, in case of his refusal so to do, the tenant should have the power of assigning his interest to any other person who would pay to the landlord the full amount due to him ; provided, however, that if the tenant should not obtain a purchaser for his interest within the time now limited for redemption, his claim to compensation should absolutely cease. " In addition to these suggestions, your committee consider it advisable that in any legislation on the subject, it should be provided, that in the event of the determination of the tenancy of a middleman, the owner in fee, or other head landlord, should make compensation to him for such improvements as the latter may have made compensation for to the occu pying tenant, such compensation, however, to be the then existing value of such improvements; and also, that the 21 years' compensation lease should be good in all cases, even when the party who made it had not power to make so long a lease, unless the rever sioner or remainder man should pay to the occupying tenant the value of the then unexpired term of cum pensation lease, ascertained by a valuation. "In laying before you this plan for a Tenants' Compensation Act, your committee have confined their attention to improvements to be effected after the pasinogre by of the proposed A c t , an d h ave b een ac tuateda desire of o bt a i n i ng th e op i n i on o f practical men in various distri c t s as t o th e gen e r a l m s applicability of the plan they propose than of ex pressing their own conclusive opinion upon the subject. "With respect to registration, they have adopted machinery similar to that under the Planting Acts, requiring, as under those Acts pave in the peculiar case of buildings above a certain value), no previous consent of the landlord, as to require such consent would, in the opinion of your committee, in very many cases, involve the tenant in a controversy with his landlord, which it is d esirable to avo i d. In the cases of drainage and subso iling, however, in which deception could be so easily practised, your com mittee have deemed it right to recommend that the landlord, or his agent, should have notice previous to the execution of the work, and o pportunities of in specting it during its progre ss , in order to afford se curity against fraud. our commit improve- m e ' u ‘ It improve ments, besidesa scer t a i asctheertainin g planthe v s a u l g u e g e o s f t e t d h e t yt e nht your n i r t s e ' o a ion to a te nan t considera tion —one, other, f or a to give to commit tee, e i o e n , — t w o o n e s::: t t h h e a r t plans i have b u e o e o n 0 u m n p d e e pn b r : in case he should enjoy the im d th e e fin te it n e a of o n t um a b c er ert a i o uu years—andnumber r 0 the h y e purchase of the increased letting value of the land s created by the improvements. The first plan appeared to the to majority of your committee to be unjust a tenant, being based upon the assumption that he was not entitled to get more than a certain rate of interest his capital, and that whatever he received for beyond that should be applied in liquidation of the principal ' - whereas they saw no reason why a tenant should be prevented from realising any amount of interest he could obtain from his capital, by the proper applica tion of his industry and skill, o r be de prived f the value of his improvements, if unexhausted at the time of his removal ; while, on the other hand, the second plan appeared to be open to the objection of being unfair to the proprietor in fee, as it gave to the tenant not only the value of his improvements, but also any additional value they might derive not from his industry or skill, but from the extra fertility of the soil—a benefit w hi c h appears to your committee to be fairly the property of the landlord and not of the tenant."

Accompanying such a measure, however, it is highly expedient that some cheap and easy mode should be devised to check subletting and waste, and secure the landlord from the destruction of the improvements, after compensation made ; and your committee consider it also desirable, that in any legislation on the subject, all existing rights, interests, and customs, should be expressly and dittinctly saved.

The first three of the following resolutions were also adopted ; but owing to the number and length of the speeches made in submitting them to the meeting, we are obliged to give them in bulk, with the names of the proposer and seconder attached. Proposed by Major BLACRIIALL, M.P., seconded by Mr. FAGAN, M.P.— " 1. That we feel it our duty to declare that in many districts of the country the present means of relief are inadequate to prevent the ravages of starva tion, and the recurrence of the horrors of the past year. " That we learn with satisfaction that her Ma jesty's Government has thought it proper to convene Parliament at once, and we desire earnestly to press upon the Legislature the necessity of devising, with • out delay, further measures of relief for such dis tressed districts, and of continuing, for this year at least, the suspension of the corn and navigation laws. " That we are ready to submit to any taxation that Parliament may, in its wisdom, consider necessary for the relief of our own destitute population, deeming the preservation of human life paramount to all other considerations." Proposed by Mr. S. O'BRIEN, M.P., seconded by Mr. J. O'CONNELL, M.P.— " 2. That while we fully recognise the claim to subsistence of all our fellow-countrymen, we consider it but equitable that the necessary charge for the relief of the destitute should not be borne exclusively by any particular class or classes, but should be shared by the community at large. " That with this object, we would suggest that an income or property-tax should be imposed in Ireland, the proceeds of which should be applied to the relief of the destitute, in aid of local taxation ; and in the case of absentees we deem it expedient that the per tentage of such tax should be higher than in other caees." Proposed by Sir L. O'BRIEN, M.P. ; seconded by Mr. J. BEECHER— " 3. That we fully recognise the necessity of a workhouse test in the case of the able-bodied poor, but at the same time look upon the present system of workhouse relief, whereby large masses are congre gated in idleness, as demoralizing and dangerous to the well-being of society. " That we are of opinion that any relief establish ment for the able-bodied poor ought to be an indus trial establishment, and that for this purpose a sufficient quantity of land ought to be provided in each union, in connexion with the workhouse, to be laboured to the best account, in such species of hus bandry as should be suitable for the numbers in such workhouse who from time to time may need employ ment, with proper accommodation for the exercise of trades for the supply of such establishments with all necessary articles capable of being produced therein, so that such establishments should, as far as possible, be made self-supporting institutions. " That in our opinion, also, the guardians ought, to have power to extend such industrial relief depart ment according to the exigency, and that means should be taken to provide industrial instruction in connexion with such establishments. "That we consider the existing machinery for ad ministering out-door relief, in many districts, inade• quate to the present crisis, and requiring immediate alteration, so as, by the establishment of electors relief committees, or otherwise, to secure greater loca information and control. " 4. That during the ensuing winter every means ought to be adopted to increase employment. " That with this view we recommend that a selec tion of the unfinished public works should be com pleted under local supervision —that every facility should be afforded for reproductive employment on land, by enabling proprietors who possess available capital to invest such capital in the improvement of their estates, and to charge the inheritance with the expenses of such improvement ; and that encourage ment should be given to the construction of railways throughout the country, by loans of money, and introducing more simple and effective machinery for acquiring the land necessary for railway purposes. "That we would also call upon our fellow-coun trymen to promote native industry, by giving encou ragement, in every case where practicable, to Irish manufactures. " S. That the loss of the potato crop, in addition to the loss of food which it has occasioned, has deranged considerably the currency •f the country, inasmuch as in most parts of Ireland it formed the labour cur rency of the farmer. "That to supply the deficiency of currency now existing, and at the same time to provide funds for the completion of the unfinished works, the facilitating reproductive employment on the land, and the pro motion of railway enterprise in Ireland, we recom mend the issue by Government of at least 2,000,000 of Treasury notes (receivable in payment of taxes), or of debentures guaranteed by Government, upon which the banks of issue should be authorised to issue notes—such notes or debentures to be laid out on the works:above mentioned, and to be called in and paid off withi n a g i ven time, on repayment by the county, party, or company, to whom they should be advanced. " 6. That further to stimulate employment and encourage the investment of capital upon land, Re deem it expedient that such alterations should be forthwith made in the law of landlord and tenant a , shall secure to the tenant the property in all improve ments made during his tenancy by the expenditure of his labour or capital ; and we submit to the public for consideration the system for tenants' compensation now laid before us by the Irish Council. " 7. That the laws regulating the removal of the Irish poor from England, the amendment of our grand jury system, the question of emigration or coloniza tion, the improvement of our waste lands and fisheries, the better preservation of the pudlic peace, the affording facilities for the transfer, participation, and exchange of landed property, and the establishment of district model farms, are subjects that require the immediate attention of Parliament ; and we would press upon her Majesty's Government the necessity of introducing, at as early a period as possible, legis lative enactments on these subjects. " 8. That a petition to both Houses of Parliament, grounded on these resolutions, be prepared and for warded to each union for signature : and that the Irish Council be authorised to call meetings similar to the present during the session of Parliament if such should be necessary, or to take such other steps as may appear to them expedient for the carrying out the objects of this meeting." The second resolution on the subject of an income tax gave rise to a lengthened discussion for and against such a measure. Several amendments were proposed as to the omission of the paragraph to that effect, but they were all lost, and the original motion was passed by a large majority. At four o'clock the meeting adjourned to Saturday, when the fourth resolution will be taken up. It would have been adjourned to Friday, but that its proceedings might interfere with the meeting of Mr. John O'Connell's council. OPPOSITION TO RENTS. Mr. Newel Barron, Chairman of the King's County, in addressing the grand jury at the quarter sessions of Parsonstown, alluded to the system of opposition to the payment of rents in the district, telling those who were engaged in it that the law would be found too strong for them, and that they were sure ultimately to be defeated. lie referred to the recent shocking murder of Mr. Lucas, who had fallen a victim to the agrarian conspiracy, stating that the ejectments brought by that gentleman were against persons largely indebted to him for several years' rent. Mr. Barron stated that generally the landlords in that county were merely seeking for rent due so far back as the years 1842, 1843, and 1844, and in no instance had a decree been brought for rent that had accrued due to November, 1846. GREAT INCREASE OF LITIGATION.—GeneraIIy at the quarter sessions, now in progress throughout the country, there is an immense augmentation in civil bill processes, to such an extent that the receipts of the assistant-barristers will be increased very largely. At Kilrush, county of Clare, 10,000 processes have been issued for that division ; about a fifth part of these will probably be pressed. The Limerick Examiner states that three hundred ejectments have been served in one district in that county, and that generally the landlords are endeavouring to get up their lands from their small tenantry. LAW C0LT11T8....• (Tins DAY.) The Court of Queen's Bench rose this day at a quarter before 12 o'clock, in consequence of the want of business. A bad look-out. for the lawyers. This day the Lord Chancellor pronounced judg ment on the long-pending petition of Mr. Pallas, a most respectable solicitor, suspended by Sir Edward Sudden, restoring him to his rank amongst the prac titioners of the court, under circumstances highly creditable to Mr. Pallas. DEATII of THE VICE-PROVOST OF TRINITY COL LEGE.—The Evening Post says—" We regret to announce the death of the Rev. Dr. 'Wray, vice-pro vost of Trinity College, which took place at his house in Merrion-square this morning." Tali LATE MaJolt. MAHON. This gentleman, whose murder was announced yesterday, was for merly in the 9th Dragoons —now Lancers—and suc ceeded to the inheritance of the late Lord Hartland's estates about two years ago, having been previously managing the property. The lamented gentleman enjoyed a high character in the district. It is stated that a son of the Dean of St. Patrick's, who was son in-law of Major Mahon, succeeds to the possession of his estates. An incident took place yesterday in the office of Mr. Murphy (one of th e Masters in Chancery), which strongly illustrates the disastrous effects of the utter insecurity of life and property in this country. A. fee simple estate, consisting of 288 acres of prime feeding land, with an excellent dwelling-house, ad vantageously situated, in the county of Roscommon, was put up for sale at 10,0001. for the first bid, being scarcely one-half of the estimated value of the pro perty. While the sale was proceeding, a gentleman got up, and addressing those about him, spoke of the dangerous neighboarhood in which the estate lay, remarking that it was close to the spot where only the night previous Major Mahon fell by the bullet of the assassin. The announcement created a powerful sensation in the office, and .a chilling silence of a minute or two succeeded. The Master at length interposed, and having severely reprimanded the speaker for his intrusive observations, ordered the sale to proceed. But it was to no purpose. The blow had struck home; and after an offer of 2,5001, or something like four years' purchase, the sale was indefinitely postponed. COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGEN CE. (From the Times.) LIVERPOOL, Nov. s.—There has been to-day an improved feeling. Discounts, though in Liverpool the rate continues at the high figure previously re ported, namely, 9 per cent., are announced as con siderably more easy of attainment in the metropolis; and gradually, with a better hope than hitherto, we witness a revival of confidence. There are important orders for execution in the market, and, should affairs continue to improve, somewhat of a revival in the manufacturing districts may be anticipated, and cer tainly the price of cotton is extremely low. Another arrival from Callao took place this morning, but as yet we cannot learn whether she brought any specie of moment. The grain market has again advanced its quota tions, the rates for Indian corn and meal having been respectively enhanced since Tuesday Is. and 6d. per barrel. As in the United States, farmers are this year holding back supplies in anticipation of higher rates; and possibly, should this policy continue, we may witness in the spring renewed imports from the overflowing granaries of America. There was a fair attendance of the trade this morning. The: cotton trade to-day has again been pretty active ; 4,000 bales have been sold, chiefly to con sumers. Prices are unaltered. The Stock• Exchange report shows a considerable advance in the chief stocks. London and North- Westerns are quoted at 1521; Midlands, 109 g. The Timis City Article was again received by electric telegraph from Rugby this morning, and the intelligence of a rise in the price of Consols tended to improve the general feeling. The letters received in town are still free from any report of an unfavourable cast. Considerable anxiety is now becoming apparent in regard to the meeting to-morrow morning of the Royal Bank proprietors ; and, naturally enough, rumour is again busy with the affairs of that concern. Amongst other statements is one to the effect that a leputation now in London has every prospect of corn pitting an arrangement which shall enable the bank to re-open its doors on Monday next; that the sum mentioned is 600,000/. ; and that ultimately the bank ill open an account with the Bank of England, as is Lhe case Kith other establishments here. These are nentioned here simply as rumours. The best feeling ;s apparent towards the bank, and there can be little question that it will to-morrow be determined that it shall resume operations. The latest letters received from the Baltic ports inform us that the embarrassments experienced here were reacting there with great effect. Great depres sion existed. From Monte Video we have letters this morning to ~ he 28th of August. Exchange ruled at 40d. ; bills ,carce. A large importation of specie had tended to keep exchange low. A rumour was current that Rosas intended to close the ports, but it was thought this measure would not be adopted unless Urquiza took the same step. THE HAGUE, Nov. 2.—At the Bourse of Amster dam on the Ist of November the Bank of the Nether lands raised the course of exchange 1 per cent., which is thus advanced from 4 to 5 per cent. for the discount on letters of exchange, 5 to 6 per cent. on bills at sight, from 4} to 5 per cent. for loans on deposits in the public funds, and 5 to 6 per cent. for loans on deposits of merchandise. The Dutch Funds, in con sequence of the [decision cf the bank, closed lower. Transactions in Integrals were very animated, a movement which was occasioned especially by the liquidations which took place. The shares of the Society of Commerce were offered at a reduced rate. The Spanish Funds did not maintain the favourable state of the preceding evening, in consequence of the state of Ardouin's, and of the Three per Cents., which were affected by reason of the liquidations. Almost all the other foreign funds were equally low. FRANKFORT, OCT. 29.—1 n this day's liquidation for the end of October the funds in Austrian Two and-a-Half per Cent. Metallics, and Three per Cents., in lands, and integrals, as well as all kinds of railway ,hares, were better, and more business was done, all other kinds of funds remaining high, with very little business, from the high state of the London Consols. After the Exchange the Three per Cent. Spanish were more in demand, and there were reports of more fa vourable advices from Paris. OCT. 30.—The course of the exchange, of every species of funds, and railway shares, did not gain to day, notwithstanding the improved condition of the London market. Austrian shares were flatter, and remain, on the whole, very dull. Nov. I.—Our advices from London are considered so far favourable by the mercantile world, because, by the resolution of Government empowering the Bank, on its responsibility, to deviate from Sir R. Peel's Bill of 1840, it has opposed a mighty barrier to the present crisis. This resolution is also considered an indica tion that in the approaching session of Parliament the changes so ardently wished for in that Bill, touching the interests of our exchange, may be brought forward. The preliminary conferences with Sir R. Peel may, probably, have had for their object the securing of himself and party to those measures. Even if the English mercantile crisis has had hitherto no direct influence on the conti nent, and Germany especially has remained unaffected by the failure there, yet the state of depression in England has, at all events, a negative influence upon us, inasmuch as it checks speculation in bills of the state, and induces the holders of ready money to keep it by them. Here in Frankfort, the rate of discount, at sight, is 4i to 5 ; for prolongations from 5 to 5f per cent. ; but there could not be said to be any actual want of money. In the next few months, when the discontinuance of the public works will accumulate much ready money, the state of the money-market will probably be yet more favourable, :and we must again report that, as soon as better reports from abroad shall restore confidence at home, trade will take a new and permanent progress. HAMBURGH, Nor. 2.—Business of every kind was exceedingly fiat on 'Change to-day. London fell per cent., and was not in demand. Discount at 6 per cent. In some of the railway shares there was an increased activity,:and there was nothing doing in the funds. STETTIN, OCT. 29.—Our supplies o f w h eat are only sufficient to meet the wants of the city and neighbourhood. Rye bad a tendency to rise lately in consequence of the old standing bargains for de livery in this month, but our arrivals yesterday were so large from various places that there has been a decided fall. BRESLAU, OCT. 30.—Business in the wool trade has not been so slack since last market day, for, although large quantities were sold, prices are even more depressed than they were at this time. ODESSA, OCT. 15.—The continued unfavourable reports from England have a lowering effect upon the state of trade here, so that both the prices of wheat and of freights have fallen. Wheat is 265. 3d. to34s. 6d. per quarter, according to quality. Rye keeps its price, and as in this article our harvest has been un favourable, we shall not have much for exportation. It is marked at 18s. to 21s. per quarter. Freights to England are 10s. 9d. to 12s. per quarter. ,-----
