THE WELLINGTON SURTOUT. A NEW LIGHT REPELLENT OVER-COAT FOR THE SPRlNG.—Registered 6 and 7 Viet., cap. 65.—PATRONISED by H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT, the ROYAL FAMILY, his Grace the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, the PRINCIPAL NOBILITY, and OFFICERS of the GUARDS. This gentlemanly garment, cut without seams on the shoulder, so as to improve the figure, and which (owing to its elasticity) fits equally well either as an over-coat or LIGHT SUMMER FROCK, is made of a peculiar cloth, manufactured in the west of England, expressly for this coat, of double twist warp and weft, and finest Saxony wool. It is guaranteed to endure and maintain its primitive appearance at least twice the time of ordinary cloth, however good the quality, as it does not wear white or rough, and although re pellent, is perfectly porous. The sleeves are lined with ar ich dura ble silk, so that the coat slips on and off - easily, and, owing to its softness, lightness, and elasticity, the wearer experiences perfect ease and freedom when the coat is buttoned. The WELLINGTON sURTOUT commends itself to all who desire a quiet, elegant, gentlemanly appearance ; it is kept in every size and leading colour, ready for immediate wear, price Two Guineas and a Half, net cash on delivery. Every genuine coat has a stamp bearing the royal arms, with a number indicative of the size, and name and address of the patentee, JAMES FOUGERE, 6, CONDUIT STREET, REGENT-STREET, and 11, POULTRY, near the MAN SION-HOUSE, LONDON.

THE ORIGINAL METALLIC STROP (with Four sides), for KEE VINO RAZORS in PERFECT The METALLIC TABLET STROP was invented in the year 1816, by George Saunders, of New York, and was favourably re ceived by the public as far surpassing any other Razor Strop. The first cntlers in Europe, after trial, have acknowledged its superiority, and many use it in preference to the Hone, the erect being much more powerful, and requires neither oil or water. A keen, smooth edge to a razor, so necessary to shave with comfort, is obtained and kept without having recourse to any other means. The American Institute for the Encouragement of Science, in con sideration of its superior value and qualities, awarded the Inventor a silver medal and diploma. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed :—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saundera's Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is, •simply because It is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge.. DEPOT, 278, STRAND. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP I. The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled in Room 30, at the usual hour this morning; Lord Granville Somerset in the chair. THE SOUTB4BASTERW ZENTXSE SCALCIKES. Mr. Stephenson's cross-examination by Mr. TALBOT was brought to a close this morning. His evidence in chief re mained unshaken. Mr. Stephenson was cross-examined by Mr. HOPE, on be half of Sir Percival Hard Dyke, but all that was elicited was, that th e South-Eastern Mid Kent line of last year, was on a par with the Brighton scheme of this year. The pre sent SoUth-Eastern scheme, however, in every point of view, was superior to either. St Percival Hard Dyke was the oc cupier of a park on the Bad Kent line, which would cost the South-Eastern Company 100,000/. to avoid. Mr. Burton, the architect, was called to prove that the railway would do none but imaginary injury to Sir. P. H. Dyke's house and park. The Committee adjourhbd at half-past four till to-morrow (this day) at twelve. This Committee niet"°aUyPafiti.veelve o'clock, the Hon. W. S. Lascelles in the chair. THE CHESTERFORD AND NEWMARKET (LZTENSXON TO THETFORD, WITH BRANCHES TO BURT ST. EDMUNDS AND ELY). The Committee, on assembling to-day, proceeded with the clauses otthe two Bills of the Chesterford and Newmarket Company, the preamble of which had been proved on Tues day last. Mr. AUSTIN tendered several clauses in behalf of the I with Compare be relation to the junction which the way o.oguld make with the line oflthe orrner, cor4ani at their std at Btu* St: Edmunds, or in relatiob to some other matters. Mr. HILDTARD objected to Mr. Austin being heard. The company for which the Hon. Member appeared had been defeated, and therefore he had no locus standi. The Committee decided that the clauses should be taken into consideration. The first clause, which regulated the junction at Bury St. Edmunds, was agreed to ; also, the compelling the comple tion of the line in five years, or, in default, that they should not be entitled to charge for any such portion of the line that remained unfinished. The other clauses proposed were rejected. The remaining clauses of the Bills were then agreed to. NEWMARKET AND CHESTERFORD RAIL WAY AMENDMENT ACT, &AL This was an application to Parliament made by the Eastern Counties CoMpany, to repeal a clause in the New market and Chesterford Act, obtained last session, which gave the latter company a right to run over the Eastern Counties line from Cambridge and Chesterford to London. It was alleged that the Eastern Counties line had received no notice of the intention to propose such a clause, and had not been parties to it. Mr. AUSTIN opened the case, stating briefly the object of tke Bill. Mr. TYRRELL, the solicitor of the Newmarket and Chester ford Company, was heard in reply. The Committee decided in favour of the Bill. The CHAIRMAN was then instructed to report the Bill , , with the amendments, to the House. This having closed the business of the Committee, the Members separated. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. The Commitee met yesterday at the usual hour for the dispatch of public business. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. EDINBURGH AND PERTH RAILWAY. This case came again before the attention of the Com mittee, having been adjourned for further consideration on two previous occasions. After hearing a number of wit nesses, the Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with, and the Bill `vas allowed to proceed. The Committee then adjourned at four o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) THURSDAY, MARCH 25. The following Railway - Bills were read a second time, com mitted, and referred to the Committee of Selection : North British Railway (No. 2). Kilmarnock and .Ayr Direct. THE NEW HOUSES OF PAR- LIAMEN T. The announcement made by Lord Morpeth in the Heuse of Commons last week, to the effect that the new House of Lords would be ready for the reception of the Peers immediately after the Easter recess, has naturally excited considerable interest as to the present state of that portion of this great national edifice; and the works have accordingly been visited during the last few days by a great number of the nobility and gentry. The ad mission of visitors, as announced by Lord Morpeth, closed on Saturday, in order to afford the artists and mechanics employed an opportunity of pursuing their labours without interruption, the constant influx of strangers having been found exceedingly detrimental to the progress of the work. Without attempting any de tailed notice of the gorgeous and magnificent interior now presented by the House of Lords, a few words descrip tive of its general effect may be interesting to those of our readers who have not been fortunate enough to have an opportunity of inspecting the same. The general impression on the spectator entering the House is grand in the extreme. The noble proportions of the apart meats, the elaborate carved panels, and the brilliant colouring which meets the eye on every side, contribute to produce a coup d'teil at once striking and beautiful. The ceiling is divided into a series of square compart ments, the groundwork being elaborately coloured in blue and red, and the crossbeams forming the squares richly gilt. The western end of the House is occupied by the throne, which is already nearly complete. It is a most elaborate and tasteful design, of the Gothic order, consisting of a grand centre and two wings, the latter to be respectively appropriated to the Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales. At the first glance it presents a perfect blaze of gold, but on a more minute inspection the exquisite colouring here and there thrown into the design softens its tone and produces an admirable re sult. In the canopy over the centre of the throne are niches intended for the reception of statuettes of the patron' saints of the three kingdoms, and on • w insusedfideljrliberfra,spixicas of the Baptism of King Ethelheit. 'lt is we Iciest that Mr. Barry's original design for the House of Peers included six arched compartments, three at either end to be filled up by frescos. This arrangement will ultimately be carried out, but at present Mr. Dyce is the only artist who has completed his subject. Ano ther important and interesting historical feature in the decoration of the House is the introduction of statues, about half the size of life, of all those Barons who were instrumental in exacting Magna Charts from John. Pedestals each surmounted by an elegant canopy, are placed at stated intervals on either side the House, immediately above the Peeresses' gallery, the name of each Baron being beautifully emblazoned in colours. The strangers' gallery faces the throne, and is immediately above the Peers' entrance. The reporters' gallery is immediately beneath the strangers' gal lery. Both these galleries are exceedingly capacious, and admirably adapted for their respective purposes. There are three rows of seats up each side of the House, one raised above another. On the panellings round the House are painted the armorial bearings of all the noblemen who have held the office of Lord Chancellor from the earliest date of that office, in the reign of Edward 111., up to the present time—the list closing with the arms of the present Lord Chancellor, Lord Cottenham. The floor of the House will be covered with a carpet of very chaste design, the colour being dark blue, with gold spots. The House is entered by a pair of solid brass gates of the most exquisite design and manufacture. The House is nearly twice as large as the present House of Peers, and considerably larger than the new House of Commons will be when completed. The Conde de Montemolin, attended by a numerous suite, visited the House on Saturday. The Conde was received and conducted over the works by the architect, Mr. Barry, to whom he expressed his unqualified admi ration of the whole building. Among the nobility who have honoured Mr. Barry with visits during the last few days are the Duke and Duchess of St. Albans, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Countess of Jersey and Lady Cle mentina Villiers, Viscount Maidstone, Lord and Lady Colchester, &c. Although the general outline of the new Palace has long been familiar to the great bulk of the population, probably but few are acquainted with the precise ar rangements of the building—the locale occupied by the House of Lords, House of Commons, &c. In a word, then, the House of Lords may be described as situated en the northern side of the building, about 200 yards east of the Victoria Tower. On state occasions her Majesty will alight under this arch, and pass tip the rand staircase into the gallery, hereafter to be devoted e reception of sculpture and other works of art. from this gallery the Victoria Hall is entered, the latter opening immediately into the House of Lords, by doorways on either side of the throne. The long gal lery is in an unfinished state, and it will probably be many months before it is completed. The only por tions of the edifice approaching completion are the House of Lords itself, the Victoria Hall and the Peers' entrance hall, at the eastern extremity of the House, the latter a most gorgeous and elaborately decorated apart ment.—Poat. PRICE SD. SHREWSBURY and BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. The second ordinary general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern; the Hon. Mr. Clive in the chair. The SECRETAAT having read the advertisement calling the meeting, submitted the report, from which we make the fol lowing extracts : " The amalgamation with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Company, which was announced at the last *literal meeting, has since been completed by the registration of class B shareholders, who are now required to elect six directors, being one-third of the maximum number prescribed by the Act of Incorporation, and to fix the remuneration to be paid to the same. The agreement between the two companies stipulates that each shall pay its own expenses prior to amalgamation ; but as this would have been cancelling so much of the capital of the two companies without any advantage to either, and would be unfair to the shareholders in the event of the line being hereafter leased or sold to any other company, it was agreed to credit the shareholders of class B shares with the full deposit originally paid by them, and to charge the ex penses of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Company to the joint scheme between Shrews bury and Wolverhampton, in which both classes of share holders are equally interested. On the same principle, the directors consider that the bonus of 26,000/. obtained on amalgamation with the Dudley and Madeley Company should be added to the capital of class A shareholders, instead of its being deducted from the expenses incurred up to the date of incorporation, which will then appear at the amount actually expended. In conformity with this opinion, a resolution will be submitted to the present meeting, adding 10s. per share to the paid up capital of class A share holders, which, if the same is adopted, will hereafter stand in the company's hooka at 31. 10s. per share. The proportion of expenses incurred by this company in respect of the Bir mingham, Wolverhampton and Stour Valley line has been duly claimed in virtue of the agreement between the two com panies, but the items constituting the same, and amounting to 33,6841. Bs. 4d., have not yet been examined, and consequently the claim hes notyet been agreed to by the Stour Valley Com pany. The dieeetopof this company, however, have considered tiwsmoV Ogg* es forming port of the fad cad10i21,485... 11,r_olli#bs Stem(idlety,Vompsoiry 4nd ha' vilg -peost - affereiiitey therbatidsceLsheel'Of this totutoiestraaosaf the sum of 69,375 C as contributed towards the capita/ sub scribed by class A shareholders. The amalgamation with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire company being completed, the authorised subscribed capital of the company will stand as follows: "Class A shares, representing one-half of the capital, to be raised between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, viz 500,000 And amount authorised to be subscribed towards the capital of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Company, viz Together ... or 151. 7s. 9d. per share. Class B Shares, representing the other half of the capital, to be raised between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, viz 500,000 or 91. 12s. 3d. per share. Total capital The directors are proceeding w ith th e ma i n line as fast as the nature of the works will admit. The contracts for the part between Shrewsbury and Wellington (held jointly with the Shropshire Union Company), and for the part between Wellington and Shiffnall, have both been let to respectable contractors under the Parliamentary estimates. The directors have made a call of 11. 15s. per share on class B shares, payable on the 15th April; and it is intended to make a call of 21. 10s. per share on class A shares, payable in August next; it is expected that no further call on class A shares will be required this: although that must depend on the progress made with the works both of this company and those of the Stour Valley Company. Interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum will be payable on the deposit and calls ; but no interest will accrue in respect of calls in arrear. Interest warrants to the 13th inst., when the transfer books were closed, will be issued on the 10th April." The CIMAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, apologised for the absence of Par. Wre, the chairman of the company, who was unavoidably kept away by illness. He congratulated the meeting that they bad the good fortune of uniting with their opponents, and they were now engaged in effecting one common object. He trusted the result would be l'eneficial to the public and the proprietors. He was glad to state that they had a balance of 84,597/. to proceed with their future operations. In August next there would be a call made, which was strictly in con formity with the promises held out by the directors. He was also happy to congratulate the meeting on the circumstance that ss. per share had covered the expenditure, which was just one-half of what had been estimated. The Honourable Chairman having adverted to the future proceedings of the company, as detailed in the report, moved the adoption of the report and its circulation The motion was unanimouNy agreed to. The CHAIIMAN then moved that the sum of 10s. per share received as a bonus on amalgamition- with the Dudley and Madeley Companies, be added to the paid-up capital of class A shareholders. This resolution was unanimously agreed to. SPECIAL MEETING. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors the draft of a )proposed Bill to enable the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Com pany to make branch railways to Madeley and Irontritge, and to join the London and North-Western Railway, and for other purposes. Also fer the purpose of submitting to the proprietors of class A shares the proposed terms of a lease of the Birming ham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Railway Company to the London sad North-Western Company. Also for the purpose of class B shareholders electing direc tors and being the remuneration to be paid to the same. The CUAIRMAN then proposed a resolution, sanctioning the proposed Madeley and Ironbridge line, which was unani mously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then put the next resolution, " That this meeting does not concur in the terms of lease of t he Birming ham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley line to the London and Nor:h- Western C ompany, as provisionally agreed upon by the directors of those two companies, and empowers the directors of this company to oppose the same in Parliament." The resolution was unanimously agreed to. It was also moved that six gentlemen be added to the directors of the company by class B shareholders, and that the remuneration to be paid to the same be 5001., which was agreed to. — A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. THAMES HAVEN AND DOCK COMPANY. An adjourned meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Giildhall Coffee-house, at one o'clock; Mr. Esdaile in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, a retort was made to the meeting, the substance of which is as follows :—The directors congratulated the share holders aa the improved prospects of the concern since the last neeting, and stated that there was every probability that captAists might now be induced to take an interest in the uedertaking. The ground for the dock has already been purchased, and as it would be advisable to have a rail way Iron Orsett to Tilbury, a distance of five miles, the directory had to state that the Eastern Counties Railway CompanT have projected a line from Ilford to Tilbury, which the shareholders were recommended to give a vigorous oppo sition to it Parliament. On the whole it was believed that the concern was both prosperous and promising. The amount of money received on deposits and calls, and from other resnrces, is 30,4801. 19s. 7d. The money expended has been—for preliminary expenses, 8951. is. 7d. ; for Par • liamentan expenses,.l,Bl7/. 1 la. ; law expenses, 3,9141.95. 7d. ; for purchace of land, 4,833/. 17s. ; excavation and expense of contractor; 3,0261.45. 7d. ; making up with the other inci dental extenses and salaries of officers an outlay of 30,4331. 9s. 10d., leaving a balance of cash in hand of 441.93. 9d. After sone little discussion the report was unanimously adopted. It was tlen proposed that J. Barclay, Ezq., Robert Ewart Norman, Isq., and Benjamin hill, Esq.. the directors re tiring by rotation, be re-elected, but on an amendment being put by SI. Merritt, Louis Pocock, Andrew Inderwick, and J. W. Wet, Esqs., were substituted for them. The CmiratAx t hen proposed a resolution, that the scheme of the Eatern Counties Railway Company for a line from Ilford to Tilbury be strenuously opposed in Parliament. 'lbis resolttion was carried unanimously. Mr. AMSNCK objected to the begalitot the meeting,as,ac cording tohis view, it was necessary that the directors should have the Nritten consent of every one of the old shareholders to render is proceedings legal. Besides, many of the shares had been 'ssued at a discount. Mr. CMDIVICK thought that this was no ground of objec tion, for i was a notorious fact that many companies bad issued shares at a discount, and, to announce no other, he might diode to one of the Sheffield companies. Mr.A3aNcK complained that his share had been sold with out his coisent, and contended that none of their proceedings could be :egal, inasmuch as they never had had a sufficient number r shareholders to legalise any meeting. After acme further discussion, the new directors expressed their wilingness to accept the office to which they had been appointee. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting was dissolvre.

Extract from the " Times' of November 9, 1844 : " M:. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected Auctioneer and Land Valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled, ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarka.on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' The 'Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following cha racter of its author Mr. Simpson, we need scarcely remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast expe rience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, anti a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense, which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, al most as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, per haps, as any man in his time, to improve her resources, by encou raging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Suck a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it la unquestionably unimpeachable.' " March 17. UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE, and NAVAL and MILITARY JOURNAL, for APRIL, 1847.

Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and, instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun diced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions ac companying each box ; and if taken after too free au indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to Its natural state of repose.

We have the pleasure of presenting to our readers this morning some important information connected with the contemplated attack on the city of Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa by the United States army and navy. This information has been in our pos session for several days past; but, inasmuch as its pub lication before to-day would have had a tendency to embarrass the Government, or perhaps frustrate to a certain extent their plan of operations, wo withheld it from the public until a certain contingency should have occurred that would enable us to divulge it without pre judice to the public interests. That contingency has occurred, and the sailing of the United States line-of-battle ship Ohio, and the sloop of war Decatur, from Norfolk, on the Ist inst., will make the intelligence clear to our readers. It will be recollected by our readers that the plan of operations of the army and navy were first published in this journal. It may be necessary to recapitulate them here, so that the history of the matter will becomplete. General Scott takes command of the army, and will rendezvous at the Island of Lobos. Thither the whole of the army, with the exception of that portion left under the com mand of General Taylor, for the purpose of garrisoning Saltillo, Monterey, Camargo, &c., which will be held by him, will be transported from Tampico by the several vessels, nearly 100 in number, which the Government has chartered here and in other cities for the purpose. That island affords an excellent harbour, and is only eight miles distant from the main shore, and from its abundance of water, &c., is admirably adapted for a rendezvous. From this island the troops will be con veyed to the shore, and it is for this duty that the great number of launches were ordered by the Government. From the point of landing, General Scott will march immediately to the city of Vera Cruz, and by a pre concerted arrangement between him and Commodore Perry, the city of Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa will be simultaneously attacked by the army and navy. Thus much we published on a former occasion. The details of the great programme have been studi ously concealed by General Scott and the Administra tion, as well as by all who were acquainted with them. Our army officers received orders from day to day, but their purport was never divulged. The line-of-battle ship Ohio underwent repairs recently, with the view, ostensibly, of proceeding to the Pacific, and joining the blockading squadron on that side of Mexico, and sailed with sealed orders from Hampton-roads on the Ist instant. These orders are not to be opened until she gets into a certain latitude ; but we will take the liberty of making onr readers acquainted with their contents —probably, before Captain Stringham himself will know them. This vessel has sailed ostensibly for the Pacific, but before she will have reached there she will have taken part in the grand demonstration about to be made on thehe s e i n e e e p m - ys e ' f- w s a t r r on gh Decatur,ol d but ti he s sailedhe will i li notin c g o e m i p n a i s t i y g h wi t t e l f Vera Cruz until the morning of the day when General Scott will attack that city. The appearance of a vessel of her size and armament would reasonably in duce the Mexicans to suppose that an attack was immediately, and it is to prevent this suspicion that she will remain out of sight until the eventful time shall have arrived. The Decatur will act as an agent to convey from the squadron there to her, and inform her of the proper time to take her place. Between General Scott and Commodore Perry, who will relieve Commo dore Conner, signals have been arranged that will enable Commodore Perry to know the precise day or hour that he will commence the attack on the city. Commodore Perry will immediately communicate, by means of the Decatur, or one of the small steamers, to the Ohio, the commander of which will govern himself accordingly. The moment that General Scott com mences to attack the city the whole fleet will play on the castle, for the purpose of preventing the garrison from acting in concert with the Mexicans in Vera Cruz. In this manner it is supposed that both the city and the castle will be taken in a short time. The time appointed for this demonstration is the 20th of this month, if General Scott be ready by that time ; if not, as soon after as possible. At all events the Ohio and Decatur, which sailed on the Ist, and the Missis sippi, which will sail in a day or two with Commodore Perry, are directed to be in that neighbourhood by that time. The object of secrecy has been to put Santa Anna off his guard, and prevent him from co-operating with the troops in Vera Cruz. He must remain where he is, for fear that Gener a l T ay l or m i g h t advance towards San Luis. The Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa will be for a time oc cupied by our troops after its capture, for the purpose of testing the effect of climate on them. If it prove unhealthy, it will probably be razed to the water, so that the enemy will not be able to avail himself of it hereafter. This ought to be done, if the Mexicans re fuse to treat for peace after its capture. If the attack be made on the 20th, an express wiii, we understand, be immediately sent to Washington, or to the nearest point to that city, and the news will reach us about the Ist of April. In the meantime, however, it is not improbable that a grand battle will be fought between the troops under Santa Anna and those under General Taylor. Two great battles at the same time would be a serious blow to Mexico. The above particulars may be relied upon for accu racy. It will be seen, therefore, that we may very soon expect to hear important news from the seat of war. SILK EXPORTS.--It appears from an account just issued by order of the House of Lords that the value of the silk manufactures exported in 1844 was 736,455..; of this amount the aggregate official value of silk . goods not of the manufacture of the United Kingdom (principally Bandannas, Coral's, and other handkerchiefs) was 642.234/. In 1845, the value of the silk exports was 766,4051., of which the foreign manufactures were of the official value of 629,5781. In 1846, the total value of the silk exports was 837,5771., of which amount 696,1804 was the official value of the foreign silk manufactures. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

For costiveness, either habi tual or temporary, they are admirable, and for elderly persons will prove the most agreeable medicine that can be taken. They are used with the greatest advantage by either sex, and will therefore prove an excellent family pill; for, in any case where an aperient medicine is required, they need only be tried to be universally adopted.

It appears that at the time above -named two well-dressed men entered the shop and requested Mr. Pater son to show them some pieces of doeskin and black cloth. Mr. Paterson showed his customers several pieces, but none of them would suit their tastes. Mr. Paterson, to accom modate them, retired to the warehouse at the rear of the shop for the purpose of getting some other pieces to show them, and during his absence the fellows contrived to steal about 16 yards of doeskin, 22 yards of black cloth, 15 yards of alpaca, and several coats and trousers, with which they got cl,.ar off, notwithstanding pursuit was immediately made after them. ,IG_ I FFICE, MAncx 23.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 25.—The Odin steam-frigate, temporarily fitted out as a provision vessel, and manned by the officers and crew of the Amphion screw pro pelled frigate, of 36 guns, Captain W. J. Williams, ar rived yesterday morninz to load with seed-corn and other provisions for Ireland. The Talbot, 26, Captain Sir Thomas Thompson, Bart., is ready for paying off; her sails were unbent yesterday and returned, and topgallant-masts struck. She will be paid off all standing to-morrow. The Sphynx steam-sloop is ordered to sail without delay for Deptford. On Tuesday, during a very strong gale from E.S.E , the sloop Constantia, Russell master, from London to Langston, struck on the Woolsner sands, about six miles from this port, and was in momentary danger of going to pieces, and sacrificing the lives of all on board, when Lieutenant Clarke, of the Hayling Coast Guard Station, put off in a frightful surf in his boat, and at the imminent risk of his own and his crew's lives, succeeded in reaching the stranded vessel, and offered assistance, which, however, strange to relate, was thankfully declined, although the vessel continued striking fearfully ! This is another instance of the prompt bravery displayed by Lieut. Clarke in endea vouring to rescue from death his fellow-creatures. We had the pleasure, some three weeks or a month since, of recording his heroic intrepidity in the case of the loss of the Gipsey on the same shoal, when he was the means, under Providence, of saving nine out of ten of the crew of that ill-fated vessel. The Mariner transport, Lieut. William Still, agent, after being absent from here eleven days, pursuant to orders from the Home-office, arrived again last night at eleven o'clock, with her 210 prisoners on board, and was towed into the harbour by the Echo steam-tug to-day, to discharge them into the York and Stirling Castle hulks. WOOLWICH, MARCH 25.—The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Hall, received on board yesterday forty-five supernumeraries, front Sheerness and Chatham, to navi gate her round to Portsmouth, where she will be trans ferred to Captain Ramsay, with her own officers and crew, and Captain Hall is expected to return to Wool wich in the Dragon steam frigate, at present under the charge of Captain Ramsay. The Terrible will proceed to Ireland with provisions. The Mariner hired transport ship, with stores and 210 convicts from Bermuda, was detained three days after orders were received to proceed with her to Portsmouth, owing to the want of accommodation for the convicts at Woolwich. The detention took place in consequence of the crew of the vessel refusing to return to Portsmouth, where they touched on their return to this country, unless a new agreement and extra wages were paid to them, their original agreement being from Bermuda to the port of London. An arrangement having been effected with the crew, the vessel left Woolwich on Sun day afternoon for Portsmouth. The Asia hired convict ship left Woolwich on Monday afternoon with about 300 female convicts for Hobart Town, New South Wales. Divine service was performed yesterday (the Fast-day) in the dockyard, and on board the vessels having chap lains on the river; and the whole of the Government es tablishments were closed as on the Sabbath days.
