Fraser's 4lagazine for May, Regina is more than usually interesting and diversified this month. There is much to attract the politicians, the literati, and the general readers. The first article is a pep pery description of the questions which now agitate the Church of Scotland from " Maidenkirk to John O'Groat's"; and though the writer has dipped his pen rather deep in gall, he evidently understands the subject, and is acquainted with a few of whos, aracters he-pourtrays with considerable humour and skill, t we cannot add with equal impartiality.

HOUSE OF LORDS.--THURSDAY The metropolis improvement bill was read a third time, and passed The Earl of RosEpERY laid on the table a bill for altering and amending the present law regarding Scotch entails bill was read a first time merchants and others of Bombay, praying for better protec tion to them in their trade to China. Owing to such want of protection and of interference, there had taken place a de crease in the amount of exports, during a certain period, of no smaller a sum than £12,000,000 sterling, and in the im- ports of £1,294,000. Lord ASHBURTON supported the petition. Viscount MELBOURNE said there was no information be fore ministers at present touching the statement contained in the petition, except what was to be found in certain preli minary papers lately communicated to the government, and ministers could not legislate upon such information as those papers contained. The Duke of WELLINGTON said the petitioners had not made an exaggerated statement of their case, especially as it referred to recent operations at Canton. Earl STANHOPE expressed a similar statement. The Earl of GLENGALL gave notice that he would call the attention of the house, on Monday next, to a recent case of falsification of returns made by an officer of the government to their lordships' house. The Marquis of NORMANBY said that Mr. Stanley, the individual no doubt alluded to, had resigned his situation in connection with the Irish poor-law commission. He believed that his character was altogether unimpeached. The Earl of HADDINGTOIsT inquired if the intention to ap point the Rev. Mr. Candlish to the Chair of Biblical Criti. cism in the University of Edinburgh were entirely aban doned ? The Marquis of NORMANBY•said it was not his intention to pursue the same views he had heretofore entertained re specting Mr. Candlish's appointment. Earl FITZWILLIAM, in presenting some petitions against the corn-laws, took the opportunity of stating his opinion, that if parliament wished to keep up the revenue, they would find themselves under the necessity, if they were also re solyed to keep up the corn-laws, to levy new taxes, not upon those who were engaged in acquiring property, but upon those who had already acquired it : they must, in fact, resort to a property tax. Earl STANHOPE said that the revenue must necessarily , fall, if government every year continued reducing and re pealing taxes. Lord AsnnurcroN denied that the revenue could be con sidered as a falling revenue. The reduction of the postage charges had certainly caused a serious fall in the revenue, but the resources of the country were as flourishing as ever. Earl STANHOPE having presented a vast number of peti tions against the new poor-law bill, gave notice, that if the bill now in the other house of parliament should be brought up to their lordships, having for its object to continue the inordinate powers of the poor-law commissioners, he would move that it be read.a second time on that day six months.

WESLEY'S ADVICE TO HER SON JOHN.—" Would you judge of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of pleasure take this rule : whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of y our consc i ence , o b scures your se nse of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things ; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be itself."--Southey', Lif e of Wesley. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY Mr. Walter was introduced by Sir F. Burdett and Mr Fielden, and took the oaths and his seat for Nottingham. Thu honourable member was loudly and enthusiastically cheered as he approached the table. Mr. R. HODGSON moved that the British Plate Glass Company's bill, which had been referred to the Hampshire list, be referred back to the committee of selection, with an instruction to the committee that it be referred to the Surrey list, instead of the Hampshire fist. Mr. ESTCOURT opposed the motion. A. discussion ensued, in which Mr. Hinde, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. R. Palmer, and other members took part ; after which the house divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority The motion was consequently lost. A number of petitions on various subjects were presented At five o'clock the house was exceedingly crowded with members on both sides. PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord MORPETH moved the order of the day for going into committee on the Parliamentary Voters (Ireland) bill. In answer to a question from Mr. G. PALMER, Lord J. RUSSELL said he should postpone the further con sideration of the Poor-law bill from Monday until Monday se'nnight. (Hear.) THE BUDGET In answer to questions by Col. SIBTR ORP, Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would make his financial statement to-morrow, and on Monday he should bring forward the civil contingencies. The house then went into committee on the Parliamen tary Voters (Ireland) bill, Mr. Bernal in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the question before the house was that clause 2 stand part of the bill. Lord MORPETH said, although the subject had been so frequently discussed, yet he felt called upon to state his views of the proposed mode of altering the registration, par ticularly as such a threatened and combined opposition was offered to it. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord then proceeded to describe, in a technical manner, his opinion of the bear ings of the measure. He wished to see the Irish franchise fixed on some definite and solid basis. Since the passing of the Irish Reform Act there had been 42 election petitions against the return of members for places in that country ; but he believed in no instance had there been any allegation of personation of voters, of fraud, or of perjury; but the complaint, in almost every case, was, that individuals bad been improperly placed on the registry. The noble lord then defended the course which the government had taken in changing the franchise from £5 to £8 ; it was not a depar ture from the priuciple of the bill, and alterations in impor tant measures had frequently been made by former adminis trations, many instances of which, if necessary, he might quote. They had at first thought that a£s franchise would have been the best •, in deference to the wishes of many they had increased it to £B, although he (Lord Morpeth) knew that by so doing they should disfranchise a great number of the present £lO voters. He (Lord Morpeth) certainly had heard with some regret, that the right hon. baronet the mem ber for Tamworth had thrown himself into the impetuous course marked out for him by his noble associates. (A. laugh.) -If a triumph was, however, now obtained, it was impossible to tell how long the victory might last. (Loud and great cheering from the ministerial benches.) Lord STANLEY said he took no part in the debate on this clause more than observing that he should oppose it. And be should not have done so had it not been for the misrepre sentations and sneers of the noble lord. (Hear.) He dis regarded those sneers (great cheering), and he would say the whole conduct of the government in conducting the bill had been one entire system of recklessness. (Hear, hear, and great cheering.) The noble lord had misrepresented both the principle which the house had affirmed and the objections taken on his (Lord Stanley's) side of the house to the bill of the noble lord. The noble lord stated that the house by the second reading of the bill affirmed the principle of defining the franchise according to the test of the poor-law valuation. The house, in affirming the principle of the bill, affirmed that they would permit the government to submit to them, and discuss in detail a measure which it was supposed that they had, as was the duty of the government before submit ting, maturely considered in its details, collected the facts and were prepared to stand by the provisions they had re commended. (Loud cheers.) On his (Lord Stanley's) side of the house they took no objection to the government find ing a better and more satisfactory basis for the franchise than the oaths of the parties interested on either side. On the contrary, in the discussion that had taken place they had de clared that it was more the duty of the honourable member for Mallow than it was of the honourable member for Monaghan, whose consistency had been so unfairly im pugned by the noble lord last night.—(Reiterated cheering.) It seemed to them most desirable that a real stringent and efficient test should be applied to the oath of the party himself, value of property other than oath of the party him self, or evidence upon oath, and, moreover they affirmed that the best and most efficient test, for the amount of the value was founded on the principle of rating, which imposed a tax at the same time that it affirmed a franchise. (Hear, hear.) But the noble lord had found it convenient to omit that which was the principle of the bill from the details. (Cheers.) They were willing to take valuation for the purpose of rating as the test of value in the property, but they were not willing to take the value of the property apart from the charges and in cumbrances on it as the amount of the qualification—(loud cheers)—and that was the principle of the noble lord's bill— that value to a certain amount, tested by rating, should be the standard, and they . were disposed to agree with him in that principle. But, in addition, that it should be a test not of the value of the property, but of the qualification of voting. They contended that, although it was the best test of the franchise, yet it must be estimated over and above the amount of the charges and incumbrances thereon. The noble lord assumed that that was the point of difference between them. That was the point of difference between them upon principle. That was the point which was broadly and plainly stated to the House on Monday night, and that was the point on which the House of Commons de cided in favour of a beneficial interest against the no bene ficial interest contended for by the Noble Lord, and that was the point for which they again stood up in opposition to her Majesty's Government. He stated, moreover, and he would repeat it frankly, that in the Poor-law valuation he could place no confidence. The very evidence the Noble Lord had produced coming forward in succession as it did paper by paper, week after week, and month after month, but before the house subsequent to the Bill—(opposition cheers)—that evidence had gone on no fixed, or stable, or uniform princi ple. In one thing only had it been uniform—in disregarding the provisions of the Act of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) But how far the Act had been disregarded how much the valuators were below the rate—whether it was 5 per cent., or 30, 40, or 50 per cent. beneath the real value, could not be learned. That was the account which their own Commission ers had given them of their own evidence ; and yet it was on that evidence that the noble lord asked the House to form, not a prima facie case, but a conclusive proof of the real and actual value of the premises, while the Commis sioners told them that it formed no conclusive or proximate evidence, but that it varied in the proportions of its defi ciency and errors in every union and in every different part of Ireland. He would say again that in the present state he should decline, on the evidence they had now to assume it, as the basis, even as the first element to be laid down,,viz., of the value of the property, exclusive of the amount of the burden charged on that property. He did not mean to say that rating might not be soicorrect that it might be made so perfect, and ultimately approximate so nearly to the real value, and become so uniform, that .they would be fairly entitled and enabled to assume it, not as a test of the value of the property on which the party claimed his vote. But in the present state of things he could not take it as any test either of the franchise or the value. The noble lord then spoke of the manner in which the evidence on this measure had been furnished, and the effect of it upon the constituency. After some further discussion the house divided, when the numbers were — For the clause Against the clause Majority against Ministers After the divi;ion; Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he com plained not that the clause had been rejected, but that the grounds of the rejection had not been made intelligible to the government or to the country. With regard to the future, he thought that parliament was bound to look at least that Ireland should not be deprived of the benefits in tended to be secured to her by the act of 1829. The charge of vacillation, adduced against the government, reminded him of the scene in the " Rivals," where Falkland condemns the inconsistency of Julia, for being about to change her declared purpose ; and then, finding that she never has had any such intention, rates her for her pride and obstinacy in adhering to her resolve. When he remembered the sacri fices made by the whigs for the catholic question, he thought that the Irish ought not to be told that there was no party in the state which took an anxious interest in their welfare. He was satisfied that no future bill would be useful which should not be based on a definition of the franchise; but he thought it could answer no wise or conciliatory purpose to keep up the discuision of the present measure. He moved that the chairtnan do now quit the chair. Sir R. PEEL concurred in the opinion that it would answer no good purpose to go on with this bill. The government had very little ground for complaining of its opponents, who had taken a strai g h t f orward ad manly course. They had stated throughout that they objected to the new leasehold franchise proposed in this bill. And in answer to the ques tion, what they (the conservatives) desired to see done, they had declared that it was not for them, but only for the mi nisters themselves, to originate a measure on such a subject. He paid no regard to lotirArLtionti totonde4 to rain (Ronan among his own friends, In whose racks the most perfect union prevailed—(prodigious cheering)—and he would not retort them on Lord Morpeth, so much did he feel for the painful situation of that noble lord, deserted as he was by his own partisans. But he must condemn the changes made by government without reason, and merely in the hope of con ciliating two or three votes, though, in fact, they had gained by all their sacrifices only one single votc—the vote of Mr. Slaney, of Shrewsbury. If the conservatives had proposed the change from 4:5 to £B, how loudly would they have been abused as enemies of Ireland ! Lord HOWICK repudiated the idea that he was indifferent to the welfare of the people of Ireland, and intimated that when he was'a member of the cabinet he was prepared to go further than even his noble friend (Lord J. Russell) thought prudent at the time. After a few words from Mr. SLAN EY Mr. BERNAL put the question that he should leave the chair which being agreed to, the bill was of course lost. The other ordersofithe day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRID AY The report on the drainage bill was agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third•time on Tuesday (this day). The South Australian bill passed through a committee, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY The Chairman of the Committee on the King's County Election reported that Mr. Armstrong had been duly elected as member for that county. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that, on the first order day after the 31st of May, he would move that the house should resolve itself into a committee of the whole house to consider the laws relating to the trade in corn. Immense cheering from the ministerial benches, with counter-cheering from the opposition, followed this announcement. The house having resolved itself into a committee of ways and means, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought forward his financial statement for the year. He, in the first in stance, drew the attention of the house to the expectations he had formed last year of the expenditure and income of the country. The expenditure he had estimated at £49,499,000 —the income at £48,641,000, leaving an estimated deficiency of £858,000 which he had proposed to meet by a vote of cre dit. The actual results, however, proved to be that the ex penditure amounted to £49,285,000, and the income to £47,443,000, leaving a deficiency larger than he had esti mated by the sum of nearly £1,000,000. By comparing the estimated with the actual income there appeared to be a defi ciency of £1,198,000. This deficiency arose, not from any unfavourable result of the additional taxation which had been imposed, but from a falling off in the revenue, which, under any circumstances, would have taken place. The produce of the 5 per cent. duty on customs and excise had been calcu lated from the returns of the year 1839, which year gave a great increase on the year before; aud, as that increase did not continue, the additional duties were on many articles un productive. The articles upon which there had been an in crease, both in quantity and duties, were butter, cheese, coffee, olive oil, pepper, silks (raw and thrown), timber, and cotton wool. The articles upon which there had been a de crease in quantity but an increase in duty were raisins, tallow, tobacco, tea, and American deals ; and the articles upon which there had been a decrease, both in quantity and duty, were currants, molasses, spirits, sugar, wine, wool, and European deals. The falling off in the duty on spirits in Ire land amounted to £354,000, which was no proof, he felt plea sure in stating, of the decreased resources of the country, for it was entirely owing to the increased habits of temperance in the people of that country. On the other band the payments into the Irish exchequer showed an increase in the amount of duties on tea and coffee. There had been also in Ireland an increase in the auction duty, and an increase in the duties on bricks, glass, ground glass, soap, soft soap, malt, vinegar, and in the post-horse duty. The stamps and taxes exhibited an increase beyond the estimate of £60,000. With respect to the decrease in the Post-office, it was not the result of a decrease in the number of letters, but was entirely owing to the increased expenditure which it was found necessary to incur in that department. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to give the following statement of his expectations of the revenue, and of the expenditure for the ensuing year : ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE Interest of the national debt., Other charges on the Consolidated Fund £29,420,000 2,400,000 6,587,000 6,805,000 2,075,000 2,935,000 108,000 The army The navy The ordnance Miscellaneous Canada China With respect to China, there were some charges in the ac count sent in by the East India Company which would be to be paid by the company itself, and he would therefore put that item down at only £400,000, and this deduction would give a total amount of expenditure of £50,731,776. In esti mating the coming revenue, he had endeavoured to take a very sober view of the subject. The customs last year, which was rather an unfavourable one, produced £21,700,000. He estimated them to produce the ensuing year £22,000,000. The excise produced last year £13,673,000. He estimated the result this year to be £14,000,000. Stamps produced last year £7,183,000. He took them at £7,000,000 for this year. The assessed taxes produced last year £3,989,432, but as the increased 10 per cent. had not come into operation for a considerable period of the year, he thought himself justi fied in estimating them to produce £4,300,000. The Post office he estimated to produce £450,000, the crown lands £lBO,OOO, and miscellaneous £250,000, making a total of £48,310,000. This gave a deficiency 'of income to meet the expenditure of no less than £2,421,000. From this defici ency he should deduct the charge for China of £400,000, and the navy debt of £391,000, as .not being permanent annual charges on the revenue, and for which it would not be ad visable to make permanent provision. This would leave the deficiency to be provided for £1,800,000. Under the cir cumstances he had stated, he deemed it necessary to in crease the revenue of the country to £50,000,000, which would leave £3,700,000 to be provided. In order to raise this amount it would be necessary either to fall back on some of the taxes they had repealed, such as the house tax, or the tax on coals ; or they must bring in those parties who had hitherto been exempted from taxation by imposing a legacy duty upon real property, or they must take away those exemptions by which certain classes were now benefited, such as the exemption of horses used for agricultural pur poses. If they adopted none of these, they must tax those new articles gas and stearc, or lastly, they must resort to a tax which had now become popular—an extensive property tax. If they resorted to taxation at all, they must adopt one or other of these courses, and it was their duty to turn to those which would throw no additional burdens on the people. In order to increase the revenue he proposed to al ter the duties on timber and sugar. Colonial timber now paid a duty of 10s. a load, while Baltic timber paid 555., be ing a protecting duty of 450 per cent. He proposed to adopt a suggestion formerly proposed by Lord Althorp, of raising the duty on colonial timber to 205., and reducing the duty on Baltic timber to 50s. By this alteration the consumer would be greatly benefited, and the revenue would be increased probably to the extent of £750,000 ; but he would be con tent to take it at £600,000. With respect to sugar, which, if not an absolute necessary, at all events might be esteemed the poor man's cheapest luxury, he proposed to leave to co lonial produce a protecting duty of only 50 per cent. The present duty on foreign sugar was 63, and on colonial 24, and he proposed to reduce the former to 36. This he be lieved would produce a revenue of £900,000; but he would take it at £700,000. which, with the produce from timber, would give a result upon which they might rely, to the amount of £1,300,000, leaving still a deficiency of £400,000. This £lOO,OOO he did not propose to make any provision for at present, because of the motion respecting the corn laws, of which his noble friend had given notice, and which if car ried would amply supply the deficiency. On the other hand, if the proposition of his noble friend should not he agreed to, he must make provision for the £400,000 by direct taxation. Mr. GOULBURN would not give any opinion upon the plans proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for sup plying the deficiency in the revenue, but would reserve his sentiments until each measure should come before the house for discussion. The hon. gentleman reviewed the conduct of the government since the year 1835, showing that they have been every year adding to the expenditure of the country, while its income had been constantly diminishing, until they at length crowned its embarrassments, by the delusive insti tution of the penny postage. Mr. HOME regretted that not one word had been said that could lead him to hope that that there was to be any reduc tion in the heavy expenditure which had led to this great defieiency. He had always warned the government of fife result of keeping up the enormous expenditure of the coun try, and he had a right to taunt them when the difficulties-he predicted arose, a right which gentlemen on the other side of the house did not possess, for they had been always urging the government to increased expenditure. The hon. member then contended at considerable length for the necessity of an alteration of the corn laws, and defended the penny postage, though no system could work well when not governed by a man of business instead of by a peer, who, from his habits and station in society, must be unfit for such a situation as that of postmaster-general. Several hon. members on the ministerial side expressed their concurrence in the views of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer respecting the duties on corn ; after which Lord FRANCIS EGERTON expressed his astonishment, not that the noble lord (J. Russell) after the strong expression he had used on a former occasion upon the subject of the corn laws should have now proposed the subject for discus. sion, but that he should have postponed the subject for five weeks to come instead of at once enabling the house to re-assure the agricultural interests by a single vote upon the subject. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to a question from Lord Sandon, said that the proposition he intended to bring forward upon the subject of the corn laws would embody the principle of a moderate fixed duty, and the question would be brought for ward by the government as one upon which the cabinet was united. Sir R. PEEL was surprised that the noble lord should have postponed his motion on the subject of the corn laws for five weeks, more particularly as he had connected the subjeCt with the financial circumstances of the country. The right hon. baronet defended his side of the house for the course they had pursued in supporting the foreign policy of the go vernment, although it necessarily led to very considerable expense, _ Lord J. RUSSELL said that, owing to the important mea sures before the house, he did not see any possibility of bring ing the question of the corn-laws before the house sooner than the period he had named. Mr. WAKLEY hoped that the proposed alteration in pro tective duties would not be confined to the corn laws alone but would be extended to every branch of manufacture and commerce. Lord Howxcx advocated the proposal of a fixed duty, end would give his support to the government when the question came on for discnssion. After a few observations from Mr. M. PHILLIPS and Mr A. CHAPMAN, that, ha a M d t s r Mr. fd L h A he ue couldo y couldo' t b E e R a nyEs he aet hisvwfie oeohcoduaat would thdhteiar most upontshe oti these tees principleswillingly fiilpaltri hnineg heartclyihp house, and nsas d e wc e oohdnri tecdrethiahlaadelhrlei cordially had been endeavouring all his life to promote, would be take n p s cu i g ip m p bi o ny em r g t gie t n h nt e tol m o ; ffie b nc e e c O' ause those principles were essentially na tional, and had been advocated before him by deputations from all classes of manufacturers and mercantile men from all parts of England, and of all political persuasions. Mr. HERRIES said that the deficiency appeared to he about £2,400,000, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to provide for £1,700,000 only, leaving a deficiency of £700,000. This alarmed him, for he feared it migt u i s t ue b rch e b t il h l e s in tention intention to meet it by en lar g in g the sinking fund through the medium of the Savings B an k A ct .

Standard-dice, Ten . o'clock HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY THE CORN-LAWS The Duke of BUCKINGHAM presented 100 petitions against any alteration in the corn-laws. The petitions were chiefly from places in the county of Buckingham, Suffolk, Derby, and Southampton. The noble duke called attention to a speech on the corn-laws delivered on a former occasion by the noble viscount at the head of the government, in which the noble viscount said that any agitation or discussion on the corn-laws wouid inevitably lead to commotions danger ous to the peace of the community ; he (the Duke of Buck; ingham) sincerely trusted the noble viscount would remem ber the words he had used on former occasions, denouncing all agitation on the subject of the corn-laws, and that he and his colleagues would guard against any such agitation. Viscount MELBOURNE said, having been so pointedly al luded to, he could not let the present opportunity pass with out observing, that the speech quoted and others made by him were never intended to convey the idea that the corn laws were never to be interfered with. He bad, however, changed the opinion he had formerly held, that opinion being entirely based and grounded upon particular and temporary, circumstances. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of RIPON said, he heard the oboervations of the noble viscount with deep regret. (Hear.) He did not know what the country would think of his noble friend (Melbourne) this, however, be knew, that his noble friend would never be able to carry on the government of the country. (Hear.) He should like to know upon what ground the measure was to be introduced ? Was it under a protecting duty, or by taxation—taxing corn for revenue? (Hear, hear.) If so, the noble viscount would do what no other country in the world would do, and it would be the most disagreeable mea sure that ever was forced upon a reluctant parliament.' (Hear.) Viscount MELBOURNE rose and said, with emphasis, that the principle of the measure would be one of protection. — (Immense cheering.) The Earl of WINCHILSEA denounced any interference with the present system as imminently dangerous to the peace of the country. He called upon the noble viscount, in God's name, not to adopt any measure likely to lead to a tax upon bread. (Hear ' hear.) The people of this country knew their interests—they knew that cheap bread meant low wages. (Hear, hear.) To pursue such a course would be the downfal of the noble viscount's government, which, in deed, would be a blessing to the country. (Cheering.) The conversation then dropped. [Left sitting.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY THE MINISTRY. Colonel SIBTHORP (as it was understood) asked the Colo nial Secretary if it was the intention of her Majesty's ministers to resign their places ?—(" hear, hear," and laughter)—and if not, whether it was the intention of the noble lord to pro ceed with the civil contingencies this evening? (Hear, bear.) Lord J. RUSSELL.-With respect to the first question of the gallant colonel, I shall decline to give any answer. (Loud cries of " hear, hear," and laughter.) With respect to the second, he wished to say that he did not intend to proceed with the civil contingencies this evening. (Hear, hear.) IRISH REGISTRATION BILL In answer to a question by Mr. S. O'BRIEN, Lord STANLEY said, it was not his intention to proceed with his Irish Registration Bill on Wednesday next ; he should postpone it for a fortnight ; and he could assure the house that every member should be apprized in due time of the day on which it would again be brought forward. (Hear.) THE CORN-LAWS In answer to a question by Mr. Cartwright, Lord J. RUSSELL said, on Friday next,the should be pre pared to state the amouneof fixed duty he intended to pro pose on the importation of foreign corn. (Hear, bear.) SUGAR DUTIES. Lord SANDON gave notice that on Friday next on the mo tion for going into committee of supply, he should submit a resolution on the proposition of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer relating to the sugar dutics—(hear, hear), and he should certainly so. frame it as to take the sense of the house on the subject. (Hear.) Sir R. INGLIS trusted the noble lord would introduce words into his resolution calling upon the house to declare that it was not advisable to allow the importation into this country of sugar the produce of slave labour. (Hear.) PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL The house then went into committee on the:punishment of death bill. Mr. Bernal in the chair. [Left sitting.] COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-MONDAY THE QUEEN V. WALDEGRAVE AND ANOTHER. This case having been called on, the noble prisoner and his companion, Captain Duff, stood up on the floor of the court, when the proper officer proceeded to read the indict- ment, and afterwards a number of affidavits in aggravation. The facts of the case are already too familiar to the public to require to be repeated here. Mr. Justice Pattison delivered judgment, who, after dwell ing at considerable length on the enormity of the offence committed, said that the Court, having taken into considera tion all the circumstances of the case, the sentence was that each of the defendants be confined in the custody of the Mar shal of the Queen's Bench prison for the space of six calen dar months; that Lord Waldegrave pay a fine of £2OO, and Mr. Duff, £2O. The defendants were then removed in cus tody of the officers of the Court. REPRESENTATION OF SANDIVICII.—WO have reason to believe that Mr. H. H. Lindesey, a staunch Conservative, will start for Sandwich, in the room of Sir Rufane Donkin, deceased. PINIEILINOWMMOMMIM=,MTVZONTIE THIRD EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock, LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY Excepting a moderate supply of Wheat, coastwise and from abroad, with 2996 barrels of New Orleans Flour, we have very scanty arrivals to notice here from any quarter since this day se'nnight, the receipts of Irish produce having considerably abated. The proposed parliamentary revision of the corn-laws, upon which the opinions of all parties are extremely con flicting, cannnot fail, however the result may prove, to keep the corn trade in a state of great uncertainty, so long as this important question remains unsettled, its immediate ten dency is to produce depression in the value of free wheats ; and accordingly, at this day's market, holders were disposed to sell the general runs of British and foreign 2d. to 3d., and in some instances 4d. per 701bs. below the rates of Tuesday last, at which reduction a moderate extent of business was done. Duty-paid Flour was dull sale, and 64. per barrel cheaper : and sack Flour, though very unsaleable, was nominally un altered in value. During the past week and to-day, about 7000 barrels Flour in bond have changed hands, principally on speculation, including New Orleans at 205., Philadelphia at 225., and a few small parcels of Western Canal taken for export at 235. per barrel. The season being now over, making Barley is without demand, and grinding sorts difficult of sale at former prices. Malt in some request on the terms last noted.—Beans and Pease extremely dull. The value of Oats is fully supported, but having become very scarce, little business is practicable in them at present. Oatmeal in better request, approved marks of new obtaining 275. to 275. 6d. per 2401b5.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, APRIL 29 The public sale of New South Wales and Foreign Wools which took place to-day, although attended by less than an average number of buyers exceeded our expectations in its results. From the tenor of all accounts from the manufacturing districts, and the great flatness of our Wool market here for the last three months, we were prepared for a more considerable reduction in prices than we can now report: The Australian Wools, though inferior, dusty and full of seeds, Ac. realized full January prices. Upon the East India, which com prise a eery indifferent assortment, and only a dozen bales of good white Wool, we quote a reduction of id to id lb. The greater part of the Buenos Ayres Wool was of very much improved cha racter, and the prices obtained for this class, will contrast favour ably with former imports of unwashed, ill got up merino and cross Wools, and stimulate the industry and good management of the growers in that quarter. We notice the spirit with which the Peruvian Wools went off, though prices have fallen considerably during the last six months, yet demand has not been induced by the inclination of holders to meet it at the reduced rates, and sales have been unimportant. The whole quantity offered to-day sold readily at our quotations, and we hope that a steady demand will now be induced by the low prices we quote for this description. 206 bales Australian Wool, fine combing, none ; middling ditto Is 4d; tine clothing, none ; middling ditto Is 4d to is Sid; low ditto, is 2d to is 3 d ; scoured is 50 to Is did ; un- washed and locks 8d to lid. 100 bales Italian, fluas 13d to 13ad ; lambs 'lad to 131 d; limed skin 8d to 84d. 24 bales Cape, washed 9d to 140 ; unwashed 64d. 548 bales Buenos Ayres, fine washed merino 12d to 15d; middling 7d to Sod; common and burry 4d to 6d; unwashed 4d to 6d. 53 bales Portugal, withdrawn. 950 bales East India, a few good white 8d to 9d; yellow 64d to 64d grey 344:1 to 01. 190 bales Turkey, 7id to gd. 302 bales Russian, Zegai 9d to 13d; other descriptions with- drawn. 430 bates Peruvian 6d to 64d 54 bales Persian bid to BO 10 bales sundries. 2667 bales 50 , Sea'lsland :41c14) 17i 130 'Stained si 115234 92416 2420 Bowed Georgia 1680 } Mobile { Alabama and Tennessee 5i 64 14005 1. 215970 •••4 f .-- 4600 ; New Orleans - ! 27 „ i f Pernambuco & Paraiba S i 9 993 } 11026 " 1 1 Aricati and Ccara S Si 140 , Bahia and Maceio f Sawginned 1 1. 100 I 7.ii 8 1 2214 1 13262 7 ....

Of Wheat 6,448 quarters were released from bond, 22d to the 28th ult. inclusive, and it is stated, that, on the 29th, previous to the re-advance of the duty to 23s Sd per quarter, duty was paid on about 17,000 quarters and 9,000 barrels of Flour; of these the official return has not yet been made. The quantity of Flour offering for home consumption has also been increased by the arrival of 1,970 barrels from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Throughout the week the weather has been exceedingly fine, and the trade has ruled dull. At yesterday's market, Wheat generally was offering at Id below our last quotations, whilst a few parcels were sold at a decline of fully 2d per 701bs. The Halifax Flour has been cleared off at 335 6d to 34s per barrel, but there has been little passing in S' ' to 35s 6cl states at 345 6a per barre. Our supplies of Oats and Oatmeal have been so small that upon a very limited inquiry prices have been fully sustained; good mealing Oats have brought 3s Id to 3s 2d, a few choice 3s 2id per 451bs : Oatmeal 26s 6d to 27s per load. Barley, Beans, and Peas as last noted. A few hundred barrels of the best brands of United States Flour, in bond, have been taken for export at 23s per barrel.
