Ladbrokes, Kingscote, and Co. OFFICES—•2O, John-street, Adelphi. This Company has been formed for paving the Metropolis ,d twenty miles round, with wood. Specimens of the Kin 14Ple have been laid down at Whitehall, -Buckingham Palace, ftd part of Oxford-street,• below Wells-street and Newman street, which have proved its superiority over every other Tr ode Wood pavement hitherto adopted. Prom authentic returns, It „ L appears the paving-rates in the Metropolis alone amount to ( ),000/. annually—the repairs in Oxford.street are 5,0001. Per annum. .The economy of wood paving on this principle, compared W ith every other model, ensures to this Company an ample telattneration per square yard ; and , that their o p erations ma y ` l6 carried to any extent, it is only necessary to state that the roads in the Metropolis now paved with stone and Mac 441taised comprise between five and six millions of square yards. for which there is no doubt wood will be sub stituted, removing, ai it effectually does, so many long !? mplained-of nuisances. The present orders received by the `- 143 , 1 npany amount to 20,0001. Negotiations are pen din g for 'Wrier work to a great extent. Models and reports as to the merits of the invention, by sur -yors and other competent persons, may be seen at the offices of the Company as above.

I have no duubt but this mode of pavement will be universally adopted, as it is not only free from noise and mud, but the wear and tear °C Public and other conveyances will be greatly reduced. The Wvvs'l Pavement laid down at Whitehall stands firmly, and is in % goc;d condition as the first day it was 'Laid down. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J.

Suown.—Since our last report the grocers have been very dasirous to purchase West India Muscovadoes Sugar, and trom the refiners there has been a good deal bf inquiry, the pr;ces paid are fully as high as on Tuesday last, for good and fine yellow sorts, but middling and brown kinds have brought 6d advance ; sales in yellow St. Vincents of the new crop, with not much colour, have been made at 725, Jamaica and St. Vincent's strong, middling grey at 70i, and nothing of low brown quaLty has been sold under 65s per cwt., a►.d at which there is row none to be had. The alteration in the duties makes it Is 3d per cwt more on raw Sugar of all kinds. This afternoon buying was restricted in British Plantation Sugar, in consequence of the short supply ; there was a good deal of inquiry from both grocers and refiners, but owing to the above catre, the purchases amounted to only 130 hhds and tierces; and buyers were compelled to pay an advance on the rates of Friday of 6d to is ; grey Nevis sold at 69s to 72s : there is scarcely any thing of brown quality to be had under 67s per cwt. STATE OF TRADE. • MsNettesTert.--There was another gloomy market yes terday, and prices of yarn were generally :About 4th lower than on the preceding Tuesday, with a very moderate business doing. The market for cloth of all kinds was also very quiet, and, notwitstanding the extensive turn-out at Stockport, which has, to same extent, diminished the supplies of power-loom cloth, the prices of the preceding week were barely supported. lIOCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MAY 18.— There has been a tolerably fair demand to-day for the coarser kinds of flannels, while those of a finer description have not been so much inquired after. Manufacturers are desirous to obtain a little advance in prices; but the buyers have generally resisted it, though they have been willing to give the former prices. There has been a better demand for wool; prices have been firm, and rather looking up. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MAY 19.—We have no change of importance to notice in this day's market. The de mand continues very steady, and prices remain firm, with a tendency upwards. Orders are increasing; and, con sequently, work is more plentiful. Business in the ware houses is an average for the season. Goods of tho middle and finer descriptions arc most in request.

There appears to have fallen a great deal more rain in Ireland as well as throughout Scotland than we have had in England, although we have had enough, and perhaps a little to spare. In the West of England there has been comparatively little rain, and the appearance of that part of the country we arc informed is extremely luxuriant and beautiful. All the crops are promising. Thunder storms are noticed by several of our country contemporaries, in whose vicinity the lightning has done some damage, both to property and animal life. We are, however, glad to find but one case, that of a ploughboy, in which the electric fluid proved fatal to human life. SINGULAR CASE.—An aged female, named Betty Brooks, who resided at the Hag End," Haulgh, near Bolton, was interred last week, at the parish church, Bolton, and, by her own directions, in a very singular manner. Her husband died in 182.5, and from that time up to the period of her death, she has taken great care of his clothing. His two coats were regularly brushed every morning, and his shoes and clogs polished as often as was necessary to clear them from dust. The pillow, too, upon which his head rested in the hour of death, was an especial favourite. By her orders, the shoes were placed at her feet, in the coffin ; the coats were laid under her body, the pillow under her head, and a clog under each arm; and in this manner she was interred.

The Leeds Times of Saturday has published one of a series of letters from the pen of Colonel Thompson, whose dissatisfaction with Mr. O'Connell, and those who concur with that Hon. and Learned Gentleman, is undisguised.

A MONKEY SEA-SlCK.—Here (on board a and unearthly Dover packet) I was aroused by the cries I over heard, and they proceeded most dismal ed from a small perso nage , a fellow traveller, a monkey. returning from England to the Continent. His master, an I talian bo y , had l aid himself down in the fore-hold, and tied this wretched beast to the leg of a teat on the deck, and as the sea broke owe: the side, Monsieur Singe shrieked and covered his mouth with his India rubber hands. From Dover till we arrived a t Calais this m on k ey was ill. He tried t o throw a way his tail in despair ; an d o f a ll t h e discordant yelling I ever heard his exceeded it. He koked like a monkey sinner in a future state. Even the people belonging to the steamer could not bear it, and they covered him rith a piece of tarpaulin. THE ANCIENT CONCERTS.—Monday after noon the rehearsal of tae seventh performance took place under the direction of Lord Burghersh. His Lordship has made a fine selection from the works of Handel, Haydn, Gluck, igma, Pergolesi, Weber, Palestrina, &c. Th e s i ngers en gaged are Grisi, Stockhausen, Caradori Allan, Nau, Miss Masson, Rubini, Tamburini, Bennett, Harrison, Hawkins, Young, Stretton, and Phillips. The rehearsal was very fully attended by the di s ti n guished subscriber s an d t h e i r friends. The concert (the last but one) this evening will be honoured by the presence of the Queen Dowager and Prince Albert. The dog which has been often spoken of as an especial favourite of the late Lord William Russell is a large animal of the Swedish shee p do g breed, and among the numerous pictures in the house in Norfolk -street are several portraits o Shim. DEATH BY LlGHTNlNG.—Yesterday afternoon this town and neighbourhood was visited with a thunder. storm, which, though of short duration, has nevertheless been attended with most distressing consequences. A young man, named Proudfoot, was struck with the electric fluid while engaged in ploughing in a field, and killed upon the spot. One of the horses was also killed, and the other much injured. A fellow servant who was ploughing in the same field, on seeing him fall as if struck with a cannot-shot, ran to Lis assistance, and was horror-struck to find a blackened and lifeless corpse. Jody presented a shocking Spectacle, and from his hair being much singed, and his bonnet being found at some distance with the crown blown out, it would appear that the lightning struck him on the head,— Kelso chronicle . _ , • • i... 17: :: : : AAl__ ) .

STOCK IN TRADE NOT RATED. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice, that in Committee on the Poor-law Act Amendment Bill he would move a clause exempting stock in trade from rating. Mr HUME gave notice of an address to her Majesty in respect to the appropriation of Church property g as we understood). MEDICAL REFORM. Mr. F. FRENCH asked if the Hon.

Scotland, and Ireland. Mr. WARBURTON—Yes. Mr. BA IN E S wished to ask the tinder-Secretary for the Home Department whether thereturns relative to Church and Chapel accommodation were ready to be put into the bands of lion. Members in time for the discussion of to morrow ?—it had a most important bearing upon the question. Mr. F. MAULE said the returns were not yet ready, and even if they were laid on the table of the HOLI3C that day, they could not be in the hands of Members by to morrow. _ _ . Mr. BAINES inquired whether the results of the Returns might not be laid on the table. Lord J. RUSSELL said many complaints of inaccu racies had been received, and he did not think they ought to be produced as being relied upon. The Orders of the Day were then fixed for other days, according to arrangement. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS' BILL (IRE LAND). On the Order of the Day being read for the adjourned debate, Air. HUME rose and said, that having last night, or rather this morning, proposed the adjournment of this debate, he was anxious to state to the House his reasons for having taken that step. He had several times during the debate endeavoured to catch the Speaker's eye, and not having been successful up to one o'clock, he was anxious to prevent a division on the main question, knowing there were several Irish Members anxious to express their senti ments, and that the lion. Member for Dublin had not done so, end he therefore proposed the adjoui nment of the debate. Ile quite agreed with the Noble Lord, as to its being possible that the power possessed by in dividuals of impeding any measure by dividing the House, might be carried to excess —( Hear, bear.) But if there was an occasion which called tor the exercise of that power, he thought it was that to which this Bill gave rise. Ile did not think, therefore, that the Noble Lord was warranted in throwing out reflections on those who had endeavoured to postpone the discussion of the question. He thought, that in every measure of great importance, it was essential that hasty decisions should not be come to, and that those to whom the people con fided their interests, as was the case with the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, should not, at any rate, be deprived of the opportunity of freely and fully expressing their sentiments. It must be known to Nlemb , :rs on both sides of the House, that at all the public meetings held in Ireland in relation to the subject, the lion. and Learned Member for Dublin had been re quested to oppose the further progress of the Bill by every means in his power. He, therefore, considered that be himself, and those who bad acted with him, were perfectly justified in the course they had taken, and he could assure the Noble Lord, that if ever a question of equal importance should arise, he would never hesitate to have recourse to a similar proceeding. It ap peared to him that the question was considered on too narrow grounds. Tho Noble Lord on introducing the Bill had pretended that its object was to improve the franchise in Ireland, and to prevent fraudulent voters from being placed on the list; in short, gave, as he (Mr. Hume) understood the Noble Lord, full effect to the votes of those who were really entitled to the franchise. It arie peered to him, from every report he had received from Ireland upon the subject that the character given of the Bill last night by the lion. and Learned Member the So licitor-General for England, was a proper and correct one. It appeared to him to be in every sense a Bill which would limit the suffrage in Ireland, and that it would be impossible so to amend it in Committee as that it could be attended with any other effect. He contended that if there was one point on which the public voice of Ireland had been more decidedly manifested than on an other, it was in their opposition to the present measure. lie would not say that in some points the feelings from which that opposition arose might not be exaggerated, but the Noble Lord would allow him to say, that anything coming from him was looked upon with great suspicion by the people of Ireland. They could not forget that the Noble Lord had formerly intro duced the Coercion Bill—a measure more calculated to estrange their confidence from him than any, perhaps, that had ever been introduced by the Minister of any country. The people, therefore, recollected the Noble Lord's at tempt to destroy the civil liberty of Ireland.--( Hear, hear.) Thee uuld not forget that, and he hoped they . never would - forget it. That was not the only Bill which the Noble Lord attempted to pass to destroy their li berties— An HON. MEMBER-It was not his Bill at all. Mr. II UM E—Yes ; the Noble Lord had generally the credit of it, and he ( Mr. Hume) believed he was th e author cf it though ethers participated in it.—( Hear and a laugh.) He (Mr. Hume) always blamed those who were sneak enough to concur in the Coercion Bill.— (Laughter.) When the Cabinet of which the Noble Lord was a Member was broken up, explanations were giver, which exonerated those who voted in the minority upon that Bill. The Noble LDrd had also introduced a Bill to de prive the people cf Ireland of the power of possessing arms as if they were unworthy of being intrusted w i t ', the possession of arms.—( Hear, hear.) H e was scrry that the Hon. Member for Caithness was not in his place—( Cheers and laughter)—for, as an old Radical, he did not like to see those changes in political principles taking place —( Hear, hear.) He hoped the Ho ..: able Member would come in before he 110 that he might call to his recollection so- - se n timents which he last night p ro f ess - .tie of those he (Mr. Hume) must express , ' - ed, and at which The lion. Member was a me- • his utmost wonder. spects—( A laugh) —an-) of good tens e i n some re he had to say . of great cons id erat i on, an d w h at others ne did n o t say " etirhand, like some (A laugh) b u t h e came down p, , ared, and what he had to sa was not to be taken as ordi nary matter or undigested observations. The lion. Member for Caithness, and Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, said that this Bill was a boon to the people of Ireland. He was sorry that the party who were to receive the boon did not consider it as such. The people of Ireland, on the contrary, regarded it as part of the same policy which they had experienced from the Noble Lord before, in his Coercion Bill and others ; and surely no boon was ever received by any people with so much reluctance. If ever there was a Bill against which the sense of the people of Ireland vies strongly expressed, this was that Bill.--( Hear, hear.) lie could speak with perfect confidence solar as regarded the city which he had the honour to represent. Petitions had been forwarded from every parish in the city of Kil kenny, and he had been requested to offer every opposition to its progress, consistent with the rules .of the House, It was pleasing - to him to concur in the wishes of his con sitteents, and he should endeavour so far as in him lay, to give full effect to them. He should be sorry to differ from his constituents, nor did he feel himself bound to follcw their opinion on all occasions, but when they were N , S EVENING EDITION. tv , 1 1 ►ng~ ►CZI right, as he believed them to be on the present ci tion he was glad to co-operate with them in resisth an insidious attempt to interfere with the privilege to whiea they were entitled. Forty years had rolled over Ireland since the people of that country had been told that they would have a community of - interests and an equality of laws with the English people. Instead of that they had been trampled on and persecuted. The Noble Lord certainly did attempt to destroy the master grievance of the Irish people—an overgrown church esta blishment. He had reduced a portion of the useless Bishop ricks of that country ; but to the present hour Ireland stood in a different situation from either England or Scotland. and he would say that the people of Ireland i ought not, and he trusted they never would be satisfied until they were placed on an equal foting with the people of England and Scotland, not only as re garded civil rights, but also as regarded religious Establishments. Up to the present moment the Parlia ment had refused to place Irishmen on the same footing as Englishmen and Seotchmen, and in England and Scot land a majority of the population belonged to the Establishment, and. therefore, he did not quarrel with the continuance of Establishments in these countries, but he trusted the time would soon come when the people of lreland would no longer suffer the existence of that master grievance, from which they derived no benefit whatever. They were taking away from the people of Ireland that runt to ichich, by the Union, they were entitled. They had refused them that justice which had been extended to England and Scotland as regarded Municipal Corpora tions.—( Hear, hear ) Was it possihle that anything else but discontent with the conduct of those who thus kneed in Parliament could arise in the minds of the people of Ireland; bad they not a legitimate cause of discontent ?—( Hear, hear)—and he would ask the Noble Lord why he introduced this Bill to add to the discontent, by taking from the people of Ireland the little remnant of justice which had been done them by tle Reform Bill. Could the people of Ireland ace with patience this attempt of the Noble Lord to deprive them of the little liberty left them by the Reform Bill, to give them over into the hands of those who had ever studied the benefits of the few at the expense of the many, and to place them in de pendence again on that party who had, until recently, ruled lreland with a rod of iron. He would tell the Noble Lord that the Bill was calculated, and that its object was to reduce the number of the electors of Ireland beyond the present scale, and to deprive the petite of :that influence to which they were legitimately en titled,—(Hear) The Noble Lord declared the object of his hill to be to clear the Irish register of improper persons, but what said the people of Ireland as to the effect which would be produced by the Bill of the Noble Lord?—(hear, hear.) Why that it would occasion suchvexation, plague, litigation, and expense not fit for an enlarged franchise. Now what right had the ; Noble Lord to make such a remark.—( Hear, hear, bear.) The Noh:c Lord had assigned no reason for statinj that the people of Ireland were nut entitled that it would not be worth while for one-half of the consti tuencj of Inland to take out their franchise. He would only allude to one remark which had been made by the Noble Lord the Member for Northumberland last night as that Noble Lord was not now in his place, had he been present be should hate commented on what had fallen from him at some length, but as he was absent he would merely make one remark. The Noble Lord had stated that the people of Ireland were to equal rights with the people of England and of Scot land. lie denied the allegation ot the Noble Lord— Ire:and was quite as lit for the franchise as England or Scotland , and in the selection of representatives, since they had the power of choosieg their own representatives, they had chosen men who were more inclined to popular opinions than the people of England had done, and therefore he would say they were wiser, and the better entitled to an extension ot the franchise, at least, equal with England and Scotland. The t tract of the Bill of the Noble Lord would be to re duce the present too limited number of electors in Ireland more than one half.—( Cries of " Hear.") Had they given him a little light he would have refcrr, d the !louse to some documents—(Laughter)—but as it was, he would ssy that in his opinion every one contributing to the taxes of the country, and called upon to serve her Moy:sty in the militia, the army, and the navy, ought to have his intcrets protected, and had a right to participate in the election of those to whom were delegated the destinies of the country. Those who did not were no better than slaves in the West Indies.— ( Cries of " Oa, oh.") He repeated it that they were as much s!av,s in England as the Blacks were in Ja maica, for neither had the frahchise and both were obliged to obey the laws made by those in whose election they h no voice. Those ni o were for rrstrictir.g the Irish Ganchise ought to how they could retain any hold 'on tho affections of the Irish people. —( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member went on to allude to a tabular return he had of the rclativa constituencies of England, Scot land, and It - chi - id, and the House would sec the depressed condition of Ireland. (Here the Bude in process of illumination. became suddenly da,kened, The Hon. Member remarked that he could not see it.-- ( A laugh.) In England there was one elector in 17 ; in Scotland one in 32; in Ireland one in 85 —( hear, bear.) He had made an abstract of these returns, and he would read them to the House, to show the disproportion there was in the possasion of the franchise between England and Ireland.

EC Mr. Alderman THOMPSON moved the second read in" of the New Zeeland Companys Bill. V. siuurii had intended to oppose the Bill, but as the lion. Member had consented to withdraw the ob— jectionable isords, he had no objection to its going into Committee. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. PORTSMOUTH FLOATING BRIDGE BILL. Captain PEC HE L L proposed that this Bill slnonid not be immediately proceeded with, as there were lome differences among the parties interested in it, which might be settled in the soul se of aim days. He trusted, there fore, aat the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not ob ject to delay the consideration of the measure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made a few observations which were inaudible in the gallery. We understood him to object to the proposed delay. Mr. AGLIONBY hoped that unless there were some strong r cations fur it the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not press the Bill. Lord ELIOT thought the promoters of tho Bill would be hardly dealt with by postponement. They had done all they could to accommodate the public, and the second floating bridge would bo an immense advantage. Mr. MACKINNON as one of the selected Members of the Committee, would support the Bill being read now. Mr. M. O'FE RRA LL said the parties had done every thing to meet the views of the Admiralty. Lord G. LENNOX had been informed that the Adraii rob y Engineer's opinions had not entirely been followed. Admiral ADAM declared such was not the case, and that both the engineer and the solicitor had been satisfied, and he corroborated what had been stated by the Hon. Secretary for the Admiralty. Mr. ESTCOURT was afraid that the rules of the House would not allow the clauses to be sent to a Com mittee in this stage of the Bill. But if it was possilsle tea s 2 1:d them to a Select Committee, he would move to that effect, for he thought it was of the utmost danger to the interests of the public, that this practice of introducing : amendments on the third reading, and after the Bills had gone through Committee should be countenanced. The SPEAKER raid that the Hon. Member had c' r. rectly stated the rules of the House, which did not stra w . rise the sending a Bill to a Select Committee after bad been engrossed. But it was not unusual for clauses tsrought in upon the third reading to be committed to a Committee of the whole House for discussion. Captain PECHELL hoped the Bill woi.iid be postponed to give time to consider the amendmen►4. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER saidi he had already postponed the Bi!1 several times at the re qucst of Hon. Gentlemen, but he had found that every poNtFonement only brought new difficulties. After a few words f rom M r. W . PATTEN, Mr. EST. COURT, and Mr. AGUONDY, the Bill, with the amendments,, was read a third time and passed. Sir 11. lIARD I L - NGE brought up the Report of t.k. Committee or) the Launceston Market Bill. Several Hon. Members postponed their motions that were 'likely to create discussion, to future days, in conse quence of the understanding that the adjourned debate should take precedence. BUENOS AYRES Mr. CUE SSW ELL wished to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he entertained an expectation that the disputes between the French and the Government of Buenos Ayres r culd be speedily settled, and whether the French had done any acts as belligerents against Buenos Ayres. except establishing a blockade? Lord P A LME ; CO N had received dispatches from.
