The bill was read a first time Lord ELLENuoitoumt presented a petition from divers 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 be 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. ..._,.._ i if The Earl of lIADDINGTON inquired 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 solved 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 ASHBURTON 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 rinns nollinst the new noor-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. Adjourned. HOUSE "OF COMMONS.7THunsDAy Mr. Walter was introduced by Sir F. Burdett and Mr Fielden, and took the oaths and his seat for Nottingham. The honourable member was loudly and enthusiastically cheered as he approached the table. Mr. R. 11 onGsuN moved that the British Plate Glass Company's bill, which bad 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 list. Mr. EsTcotatir 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. SIBTHORP, 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 CHAutmAN 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 had been improperly placed on the registry. The noble lord then defended the course which the government had taken in changing the franchise from .1.: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. Ile (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 he 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 honse 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 w ith hi m in that principle. But , in addition, that it should be a test not of the value o f the property, b u t o f th e 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 Mond a y n i g ht, 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 solcorrect 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 .... 11 After the division, 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. lie 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 discussion of the present measure. He moved that the chair man d o now qu i t the c h a i r. Sir R. PEEL concurred in theopinion that it would answer no good purpose to go on with this bill. The government had very little ground for complainin ,, of its opponents, who had taken a straightf orward and manly course. They had stated throughout th a t th ey o b jected 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 t em, bnt only for the mi nisters themselves, to originate a measure on such a subject. He paid no regard to intimations intended to raise dissension own friends, in whose ranks the most perfect nodigious cheering)—and he would not among retort themoon Lord Morpeth, so much did he feel for the painful situation of that noble lord, deserted as he was by his nwn nartisans. 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 £5 to XS, 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 be 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. SLANEY, Mr. BERNAL put the question that he should leave the chair which being agreed to, the bill was of course lost. The other orders - oflthe day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY The report on the drainage bill was agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on Tuesday (thiS day). Thr South Australian bill passed through a committee, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY The Chairman of the Committee ou 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 eaten lted from the returns of the year 1 — y-- 839, which year gave a great increase on the year before; and, 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 bad 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 hand 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 £29,420,000 Other charges on the Consolidated Fund 2,400,000 The army 6,587,000 The navy 6,805,000 The ordnance Miscellaneous 2,935,000 Canada lOB,OOO 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 bad 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 £191,000, 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 £1,700,000 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 steam, 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. to 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 13altic 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 be 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 £-100,000 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 band, if the proposition of his noble friend s'hould not be 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. HUME 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 deficiency. He had always warned the government of the result of keeping up the enormous expenditure of the coun try, and he had a right to taunt them when the difficulties be 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 How icx advocated the proposal of a fixed duty, end would give his support to the government when the question came on for discussion : _ _ — After a few observations from Mr. M. PHILLIPS and Mr A. CHAPMAN, Mr. LABOUCHERE advocated the principles of free trade, Alk.• - • and said he could lay his hand upon his heart and declare that, if he could be satisfied that these principles, which he had been endeavouring all his life to promote, would be taken up by gentlemen on the other side of the house, on their coming into office, he would most willingly and cordially support them ; because 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 be 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 might be the intention to meet it by enlarging the sinking fund through the medium of the Savings Bank Act. This was a dangerous and most unconstitutional step, and if there was any such in tention, he should most certainly oppose it. The CHANCELLOK of the EXCHEQUER said that such a power was one which no minister ought to possess, but so long as he did possess the power, of funding exchequer bills through the medium of the Savings Banks Act, be should not hesitate, if necessary, to exercise it. Mr. VILLIERS expressed his gratification that the question of the corn laws was at last taken out of his hands by the go. vernment, and pledged himself to give them every support upon the question, when it was brought forward. Mr. Alderman THOMPSOV contended that the shipping interest of London were not favourable to the removal of the restrictive duties on timber and sugar. After some further discuision, the motion of the Chancellor of the Exshequer, which was one of mere form, was agreed to, and the house resumed. 'he other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. DREADFUL REVERSE OF FORTUNE. On Tuesday, a lengthened investigation took place before Mr. Payne, in the Fleet Prison, touching the death of Zacha riah Edwards, aged 35, formerly an officer in the 12th Royal Lancers, and once a favourite godson of his late majesty William IV. . Mr. George Cooper, surgeon to the prison, examined—l was not called tto deceased until three days previous to his death, which took place on Saturday last. I found him la bouring under typhus fever, in its worst form, and was told that he had been ill for the last five or six preceding days, and had been attended most by a friendly medical gentleman. I did all I could to save him ; and, besides the proper medi cines, he had all the nourishment his state required ; but, nothwithstanding, he expired on Sunday evening of typhus fever, no doubt produced by great mental anxiety. Mr. Victor Hugh Chemerley, an inmate of the prison, de posed—Deceased was my chum, and we were acquainted since 1825, when we met in France, he then being on leave of absence from his regiment. He was a man of most gentle manlike manners and amiable disposition. I afterwards lost sight of him, and when we met again 1 found he had sold out of his regiment, and had became partner in some patent bleaching concern. which subsequently failed. Deceased had been in this prison eight months and ten days before his death, was seized with illness,:complaining then of a severely racking pain in the chest, and having a bad cough. He was suffering under great mental anxiety, caused by knowing that affluent persons ' once in his prosperity, his professed friends, were acquainted with his situation, and would not free him from it, but actually allowed him to languish, and at length die through want of the common necessaries of life. He made mention in particular of his guardian, who, he said, had re fused to do anything for him, and had even closed his doors against him, though once he had given him thousands. I once saw this gentleman give him a check for £7OOO, at a dash. Deceased used to remark, " What pretty treatment, to have placed me in my youth in a dashing and extravagant regi ment, whereby I must necessarily have been inoculated with extravagant habits, even by following the example of others!" On the night previous to his death he called me to his bed side, and disclosed to me more than ever his family transac tions, but, from a delicacy I feel in consequence of Mr. not being here, I forbear stating what those heart-rend ing transactions were. During the time deceased was here, he had no funds, and was literaily starving, because, having been refused aid by his guardians, he would not apply to his fellow-prisoners. I have known, but not until afterwards, that a few potatoes were his sole food for the space of forty eight hours. Lately he had drank freely to drown his cares. In prison when a friend comes to see you he will treat you with wine, ignorant, at the time that you are in want of food, and fearing often if be does not hurt your feelings by offer ing you any. A. fortnight ago he explained his condition to the Rev. Mr. Booth, then a prisoner, but since enlarged, and the rev. gentleman applied to his guardian on behalf of deceased, and he said that whilst he was in prison lie would do nothing for him, but, when he got out, his doors would be once more opened to him. Deceased's debts, contracted by having been made the tool and dupe of others, amounted to between £7OOO and £BOOO, and his friends were in such good circumstances that they might have made a compro mise for him, and saved him from prison. Even deceased's. mother, an affluent lady, and his brother, a major'in the, army, had been applied to by deceased, and they likewise refused to assist him. Mr. Richard Oastler, also a prisoner, said that deceased had told him that he was a godson of William the Fourth, and had often when a boy dined at the royal table. He used to contrast complainingly his former position with his present, and lament the cruelty, as he said, of those quondam friends who could and ought to relieve him from a prisoK. He (Mr. Oastler) begged to assure the jury that the governor of the prison could not know the situation of those prisoners who were too proud to lay open their wants to him, and that as soon as he knew them he promptly supplied the necessary relief. The coroner, in addressing the jury, said that he had, perhaps, allowed matters irrelevant to the inquiry to be in troduced, but he had done so through a motive of humanity, seeing that the inquest was on the body of a prisoners, and that by giving a greater latitude than ordinary to the evidence, it might be the means of alleviating the position of persons imprisoned and circumstanced has deceased had been. The jury then returned the following verdict :—" Died of typhus fever, brought on by extreme anxiety of mind." Mr. Oastler then said that unless some different measures were speedily introduced into that prison, the coroner would ere long have to hold many inquests in it, for it was a fact that many persons were dying of broken hearts and from want of sufficient necessaries of life, and concealing, through false pride, their positions. The coroner said he would be very happy to have Mr. Oastler's suggestions as to the measures wanted. Mr. Oastler—Let the creditors forego their claims on such parties, though I am very certain they will not forego mine. —London paper. COACH ACCIDENT.—On Monday morning last, as the mail from the North was entering Lancaster, having crossed the bridge at Skerton, either by reason of taking the turn too sharply, or some other cause at present unexplained, it suddenly capsized, and all the outside passengers were thrown to the ground. Several of them received severe injuries, but none, we understand, of a nature likely to prove fatal. The unfortunate coachman, Martin, was taken in an insensible state to the Ball, in a returned chaise. When he recovered from his stupor, from having fallen upon his head, he was quite delirious, in which unhappy state he still continues, with but slight intermission, and unfortunately the worst re sults are anticipated. THE REV. G. C. COOKMAN.—This gentleman, who, as our readers are aware, was one of the passengers who left New York in the President steamer, being a leading minister amongst the American Episcopal Methodists, and having been re-elected chaplain to the senate of the United States, was deputed to represent the American Bible Society at the approaching anniversary of the British and Foreign Bible Society. He is the only son of George Cookman, Esq., one of the most active magistrates and twice mayor of this bo rough. His principal object in visiting his native land (ob serves a contemporary) was to greet once more bis father and relatives in Yorkshire ; he left behind him in America a be loved wife and six childen. MORE TRICKERY. — Scarcely a week now elapses in which the press does not contain some account of a robbery being committed in the manner which we are about to state. Last evening, a working man, named Edward Hatcher, who was journeying from Wells to Swallowcliff, near Salisbury, to see his friends, staid at the Duke of York public-house, in Bath, to take some refreshment. Whilst seated there, two fellows came and placed themselves one on each side of him. They soon got into conversation, when one of them, who was " quite a gentleman," introduced several notes, which the subsequently unfortunate Hatcher thought were real ones, and the conversation then turned upon the best mode of safely depositing them on his person. His "friend" offered to place them safely in his pocket, and was of course per mitted to do so. The " gentleman" having found out that the countryman had some sovereigns in his purse, kindly of fered to wrap them up for him and put them safely into his fob. The unwary dupe consented, and he thought his purse was safe. Shortly afterwards the two sharpers left the house, and on the flat feeling. for his purse to pay for some beer, he found that it was gone. It contained £4 : 18s. 6d. £5 were all the poor fellow had, and the ls. 6d. he had spent in beer. With rueful visage he sought a policeman, and com municated the tale of woe, but it is needless to state that neither his purse nor its contents have been found. It is truly astonishing that after so many robberies of this de scription, people will be so short-sighted as to let others pretend to safely deposit their money on their persons.— Bath Chronicle.

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 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, &e. realized full January prices. Upon the East India, which corn. priie a very indifferent assortment, and only a dozen bales of good white Wool, we quote a reduction of 3d to id g 4, 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, fipe combing, none ; middling ditto Is 4d; fine clothing, none ; middling ditto Is 4d to Is 53d ; low ditto, Is 2d to is 33d; scoured is 53d to is 73d; un washed and locks 8d to lid. 101) bales Italian, fluas 13d to 13ad ; lambs 113 d to 133 d; limed skin 8d to Bad. 24 bales Cape, washed gd to 14ad; unwashed 64d. 548 bales Buenos Ayres, fine washed merino 12d to 15d; middling 7d to 10d; common and burry 4d to 6d; unwashed 4d to 53 bales Portugal, withdrawn. g5O bales East India, a few good white 8d to gd ; yellow 6.1 d to tied ; grey aid to 44d. 190 bales Turkey, yid to 9d. 302 bales Russian, Zegai 9d to 13d; other descriptions with- drawn. 430 baies Peruvian 6d to 64d 54 bales Persian 6id to Rid. 10 bales sundries. 2867 bales. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, APRIL 30 Sugar.—The market remains in the same unsettled state, and no transactions whatever reported in B.

The sales of the week are only 11,300 bales ; of which, are placed to speculation account, 800 American, with 550 American and 400 Surat; to export ; so that consumers have taken less than 10,000 bales, a fact which speaks volumes for the desperate state of trade. COTTON MARKET, MAY 3 Our Cotton market continues iu the same inanimate state ; very little demand to-day, and not more than 1500 bales have been sold, at yesterday's prices. COTTON MARKET, MAY 4 The arrival of the Acadia, yesterday, with accounts from the States to the 17th nitimo, all in favour of Cotton, give no anima tion to our market, and we are drooping for want of demand; what is to have a favourable influence no one can tell, unless the consumption is considerably and permanently increased. The sales to-day are 2000 to 2500 bales, at last week's prices ; if any change, slight concessions are occasionally made to the buyer, COTTON MARKET. .-WEEKLY REPORT The demand still continues very limited, and holders hava sub mitted to a further decline of *d to id per lb on the low and middling qualities of American, whilst other descriptions are very heavy of sale at the presrnt quotations. 800 American have been taken on speculation, and 530 American and 460 Surat for export.
