The Jew Bill is now hopeless, and the question comes, how long the Constituencies of London and Greenwich are to remain disfranchised as to two seats by the two legal nonentities that occupy them. ROTHSCHILD will not contest London; and his flunkies and political under lings who flocked to support and intrigue for him are satisfied of the fact, for he has held his hand as to largesse, in which he never very greatly indulged. As to his colleague, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, he must fall back to Tavistock, or any other carefully preserved corrupt old Whig seat. He has still got the idea that he is leading something or somebody, and talks of " advising those who act with him," as if he really had anybody to act with him at all. Was there ever a Parliament so miraculously anxious to go back to its constituents as this one ? The awful terrors the hustings once presented—the claims of scouts and puffers, and nameless agents—mysterious phantoms summoned by the wand of COPPOCK, and disappearing before the arrival of the Sergeant at Arms like a ghost at cockcrow—even the " horrible shadow" of unpaid hotel bills has no terror of the Whigs. They look upon Lord DERBY and their constituents as " the De'il and the deep sea," and they prefer the latter. Lord Jonx insists on immediate dissolution on what principle, nobody can tell, except that being condemned he wishes the execution suddenly over. He need not look the Jews in the face again. The " conshiderashons" have not been given, and the " nation" very greatly resent the indignity of tacking their emancipation to the tail of the abortive Reform Bill. Lord JOHN has been the " Antonio bound," but, as old WELLER. says, he has turned out " a' immoral 'TONY"; and, as I am quoting from DICKENS, I may as well adopt as to Lord JOHN'S proceedings generally the opinion de livered by Wackford Squeers to Ralph Nickleby, when he was apprehended, "You have been and done it now! young man ! you have !" The prudent, reserved, careful, and telling replies of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, have very seriously surprised and alarmed the incongruous Opposition. DISRAELI is another example that a man of genius can be a man of business. SWIFT, doubtless, was right in the main, that no possible character, whatever, had less chance In Senate, Bar, or Church, to rise, Than he whom Phoebus, in his ire, Had blasted with poetic fire. But it is not universal. The nation, of all parties, have been compelled to admit the statesmanlike qualities of a man of the turf—the lamented Lord GEORGE, in whom was re-produced again The great Godolphin on his racer set, Skilled to adjust a treaty or a bet, and the " men of business"—to wit, Sir CHAS. WOOD and others—have to admit the ability for" business" of the au thor of Vivian Grey, and to confess that the possession of an genius is not an absolute bar to the possession of If absence of poetry constituted a qualifi. cation for office, the Whigs would have been an impreg nable administration—the author of Don Carlo: notwith standing. 1 power. The grant to Maynooth, as every one must have anti- cipated, has become a very serious consideration to every party in or out of office. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S liberality to that institution of monkish secrecy and " darkness " has been fatal to the object of his favour. The themselves, spoiled by the tide of prosperity Whin for so many years attended self-interested agile tion, have shown themselves too soon, and calculated too stability of their position. The conse- rapidly on the . . quence is, that a new and effectual organization, ori ginating in Ireland itself, will be brought to bear upon the Government respecting this shameful squandering of money for the purposes of foreigners. The sym and support of a large phalanx of men who differ ly m mere secular politics, will be ensured to a movement h it is scarcely possible that ministers can resist. The heory of Sir R.

In 1845, he had a quantity of the dead timber felled and sold. In 1846 he had a valuation made of the damage done to the trees, which he transmitted to the defendants, and made a claim for, on behalf of his employer. A long dispute followed, and the matter was ultimately referred to Mr. Skirving, of Walton Nursery, who awarded Mr. Leigh £l9l as com pensation, which was paid over by the defendants, who retained the damaged wood.

The Sydney Morning herald of December 18th says, "we have received by the Emma Melbourne papers to the 10th instant." The Melbourne Morning Herald of thal date says, " letters were received in town yesterday from the police magistrate at Gipps Land, stating that the whole dividing range between Sydney and Victoria, known as the Snowy Mountains, for 200 miles in extent, is one vast gold field. There was upwards of a ton and a half of gold in Mr. Commissioner Powlett's tent, waiting for the escort from the Mount, up to Saturday last; and it is ex pected that to-day's escort from the mountain will not be able to bring down one half the quantity offered. It is in tended to increase the military force here to one hundred men."— Times MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 5. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET. English Market steady. Consols, 98,i 1. Little doing. The arrival of specie by the Conway, has attracted attention, but prices have not moved upon the supply. The Railway Market opened dullish ; gave way towards one o'clock, and closed, although not at its worst, feebly, and without animation. Dealers being full cf stock, and careful not to buy more—this, and no buyers, has caused the fall.--Gold Shares are neglected. The advices per Conway read well, more especially as regards Nouveau Monde, but prices make no progression. —Foreign Market steady. In Spanish Three per Cents. and new Stock, a large business doing.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGIT, in moving or papers ex planatory of the grounds of the war with Ava, dwelt upon the false position in which the occupation and annexation of that territory would place the Government of India, and the prejudicial and ostensibly fatP.l effect which even the most complete success in the war would have both upon the civil and military service in that empire. The Earl of DERBY vindicated the conduct of the Governor- General of India, who he said was not less anxious than the nobleearl himself to avoid the accession of the largeincrease of territory in India. He hoped their lordships would be lieve that as, on the one hand, there had been no desire to increase the responsibility and hazards of war, so, on the other hand, the measure., taken by the Governor General bad been so prompt and ready as to lead to the reasonable expectation that the hostilities which had been com menced against the Burmese empire wonld not be of a very long duration.

Trade is depressed ; the show of Wheat is moderate, but buyers held off till late, and both English and foreign are 2i. per quarter lower. Flour is almost unsaleable, except at a reduction. Barley fairly supplied ; a heavy sale, and prices the turn lower. Beans are rather cheaper. Peas unaltered. Oats go off heavily, at a decline of 6d. per quarter. English white Wheat, 435. to 495. ; red ditto, 365. to 445. FOREIGN REFUGEES. Lord BEAUMONT, in moving for the production of further evidence upon the subject, called the attention of the house to the correspondence on the table respecting foreign re fugees. The right of asylum granted by this coun try to foreigners who had lost their home was not only an honour to this nation, but was a source of safety to those Governments whence they had escaped, and he trusted the Foreign Secretary would at once declare, on the part of the Government, whether he was prepared to abide by what had been the invariable policy of England in this respect.—Tho Earl of MALMESBURY said the first principle which had been inculcated on his mind was, that the dignity of the Crown and the honour of the country were paramount to every other consider ation on earth (cheers); and the worst calumny which could be uttered against him would be that he was desirous to change the ancient laws and customs of English hospitality. Ho was determined to continue to afford to political refugees in this country the fullest right of asylum, so long as they respected the laws of this country. After some remarks from Earl GRANVILLE and the Marquis of BREADAL BANE, the motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned ARRIVALS. English. Irish.

GIBSON CRAIG asked the Home Secretary whether the assent of the crown would be given to the Edinburgh and Cannonzate Annuity Tax Abolition Bill.—Mr. WALPOLE said, that as the bili now stood he could not advise the crown to assent to it, and in his opinion it would be better that the bill should be at once withdrawn.—Mr. W. GIBSON CRAIG thereupon withdrew the bill.—The ATTORNEY. GENERAL gave notice, that on Monday, the 19th instant, he would move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the present Grand Jury Law, and also to amend the Criminal Law in certain respects connected therewith. TALLOW MARKET. The stock amounts to 42,822 casks, against 36,281 casks up to same period last year—being an increase 1 his year of 6541 casks.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS. We regret that, owing to an accident which occurred when going to press, the publication of this day's STANDARD has been delayed beyond the usual time. CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCRIPTURE READERS' SOCIETY. Tuts excellent Society, which was founded in the close of last year, is now in active and useful operation. The Rev. Jos. BARDSLEY, the Clerical Superintendent, has entered upon his duties with earnestness and system, but the number of lay Readers does not yet amount to twenty. In the more densely peopled parts of the town, to which in the first instance their labours are limited, every day's experience brings to light some new fact of interest, or assists in rescuing a reduced family from the practical heathenism into which they have fallen. The appeal to the public has been met in a right spirit by a large num ber of the laity in town ; but much depends upon the clergy in keeping the claims of the Society constantly before their respective congregations, or in organising auxiliaries which might secure to the Society a permanent income. The interest excited on this subject has been almost without a precedent in Liverpool, showing how great was the necessity for the Society. The narrations in the journals of the Readers reveal every day more and more the fearful amount of ignorance, vice, and error, which prevails among the masses of the people ; and the Committee feel that at least three times the existing agency is required to meet the evil with a moderate hope of overcoming it. It is by many small contributions that the greatest amount of good will be done ; and perhaps there is no way more likely to secure a uniform and fa vourable response, than a notice of the subject from the pulpit. The Scripture Reader obtains an entrance where the Clergyman is not sought or even admitted ; and an artificial conversation and delusive promises often meet the latter, where the former it everyday garb. We understand that it is the int of the Committee to procure Welsh and Irish -speaking po . funds will allow them. ecial nisi Lion, a ith confiden of the r tion, and yet, rn than the ust Tr. WILLIAM 11. WI oene a ship of 1,400 t ons , f or Williams and eo Guiot ployed in the Liverpool trade. Her length feet, breadth of beam 40, and depth of bold of her timber has been laid down.—Ncw Pori MILITIA BILL Tn answer to a question from an lion, member, Mr. WALPOLE said it was not the intention of Government to proceed with that clause in the Militia Bill by which it was proposed to give votes for counties to those who had served in the force for two years. He admitted that he had given notice of this somewhat too hastily. He had nvt consulted his colleagues upon it, and he now found so many difficulties in the way, that it was not his intention to proceed with it. THE MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. Williams, stated that the miscellaneous estimates would be laid upon the table to-night, and be proceeded with immediately after Easter. COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION ACT. Mr. WALPOLE, in reply to questions from Mr. M'CULLAGII, said there was a power in the County Court Extensions Act to raise the salaries of the judges of those courts, and the subject would receive attention. NEW ZEALAND. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON gave notice, that on an early day after Easter, he should move for leave to bring in a bill to give representative institutions to the colony of New Zealand. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. In answer to a question from Mr. HUME, the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that when the house re-assembled after Easter on the 19th, he would be able to fix the daywhen he would make the financial statement; and when be did so, he would state fully what he intended to do with the income tax. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. On the motion that the speaker do leave the chair for the purpose of going into committee of supply, Mr. Bernal OSBORNE called upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to give the House (before it separated for the holidays) a frank and honest exposition of the principles upon which Her Majesty's present Ministers were conducting the government. The country, he main tained, had no guarantee as to what measures the government thought indispensable, and yet it was not fair to keep the house in such a state of sus pense and uncertainty. They were bound to state to the country their policy upon the Maynooth grant, and also with regard to the millers and the distillers of Ireland. He characterised the cabinet as hybrid animals—. free-trade protectionists.—Lord J. MANNERS said the hon. and gallant member had by turns rebuked every party in the house ; and he contended that the whole declarations of the Government were consistent. The Government did not shrink from them, and they were prepared to abide by them. The hon. gentleman wished only that the opinion of this moribund house of commons be taken upon the policy of the Government, in order to use it with the country ; but the Government would reserve it for the new parliament. If the heterogeneous opposition on the other side were determined to obstruct the business of the country, let them do so at once ; but the Government certainly would not be deterred, by taunts and oppositions, from proceeding with the necessary busi ness of the country.—Mr. ROEBUCK asked why the ques tion was not brought to an issue at once ? Why did not Government bring their policy to the issue of a direct vote ? The fact was, they had got into office upon false pretences. They had obtained power by professing one set of princi ples, but, when in office, they acted upon another.—Mr. ADDERLEY replied to Mr. Roebuck.--Mr. VILLIERS said his motion for pledging the house to a free-trade policy had been rendered unnecessary, by the acknowledgment of Lord Derby and others, that on the question of free trade the Government is in a minority. It was his opi nion that the Government had abandoned protection, and were about to throw themselves upon the country, in the hope, by some influence or other, to retain office.—Mr. HENLEY maintained that the intentions of Government had been explained in language which could not be misunderstood, unless by intention.—Mr. SYDNEY HERBERT would do his utmost to uphold the policy which had produced so great a benefit to the country, and was quite willing to abide by the course laid down by the Government, and make an appeal to the electoral body.—Sir J. TYRRELL had no difficulty in un derstanding the leading policy of the Government. It was the redress of the grievances of the agricultural inte rests.—After a few words from Mr. HowAun and Mr. NEWDEGATE, Sir R. 11. INGLIS said he placed implicit reliance on the good faith of the Ministers on the subject of a dissolution of Parliament.—The discussion then terminated. lONIAN ISLANDS A short disc affairs in tI,A Ission then took place upon the sta, lonian Islands ; after which, tho house went into commit On the motion for of the T - of £4G,000 for the expenses Sir W dCMIICd ystem of governs pre,en., and said that as long as it was continued the country must make up its mind to keep up these large forces at oe dfora jtrel On the 31st ult., in Fairfield-terrace, Well - l ane ' -pl A li Mst rs.
