O'CONNOR gave notice, that on the 13th instant lie would present a petition from the chartists of the king dom, praying the house to adopt the principles embodied in the " people's charter," viz., vote by ballot, annual parliaments, universal suffrage, eaual electoral districts, anslthepayment of members. Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that he should on an early day move an address to the crown, that no arrangements may be entered into with foreign powers which shall not secure to the Polish people the full enjoyment of their liberties and their territory. Sir G. GREY, in reply to Sir J. Duckworth, said a bill was prepared on the subject of highways which would also include turnpike trusts, and would shortly be sub mitted to the house. he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having moved committal of the Income Tax Bill. Mr. HUME denounced it as inquisitorial, oppressive, Enid cruel ; and moved, with the view of rendering it more just and less offensive, that it be referred to a select com . mittee up stairs - Mr. ROBIssoN seconded the amendment, which was supported also by Mr. J. Clay, Mr. S. Crawford, Mr. Urquhart, and Mr. Anstey. The speakers in favour of the original motion were the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Trelawny, Mr. Carter, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Horsman, who considered, after the decision of the house on his motion on a former day, that the better way would be now to let the income-tax pass, and that the house should address itself at once to a revision of the whole income and ex penditureof the country. On a division the numbers were 294 to 73; majorit on the main question, When the numbers were 323 to 12, 'majority 311 ; and the house went into committee, went through the bill, and the report was ordered to be re- ceived on Thurs On the motion of the LORD ADVOCATE, the Select Committee on the Law of Entail (Scotland) Bill was nominated, and on its being proposed to substitute the name of Mr. J. Stuart for that of Mr. Ewart, the house divided, 66 to 32, in favour of the latter. Sir DE LACY EVANS moved for leave to bring in a bill to alter the periods of payment of taxes by parliamentary electors ; and after an ineffectual attempt by Mr. Forbes to adjourn the house, the bill was brought up and read a first time; as was also the Administration of Oaths, &c., Court of Chancery Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-' TUESDAY Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL, on behalf of Mr. W. S. O'Brien, gave notice that he would move on the 11th of April for leave to bring in a bill for the repeal of the union between England and Ireland. Sir G. GREY, in reference to the late evictions in Gal way, brought under the notice of the house by Mr. P. &rope, on recent occasions, stated, that Mr. Blake's explanation of the transactions in question not having proved satisfactory, that gentleman's name had been itruck out of the 'commission of the peace. Mr. St. George, also a member of that house, implicated in this matter, but who was at present abroad, had been called upon to explain his conduct, but from him no answer had as yet been received. Slr. BANKES moved a resolution, " that in the opinion of the house, the powers, rights, and authority now vested in the commissioners of railways, may be so regulated as to,secure their efficient execution at a greatly diminished rate of charge to the public." _ • _ _ The CHANCELLOR . of the EXCHEQUER admitted the necessity for economy in this department, and intimated that on Mr. Strutt's being unseated for Derby, that gen tleman had tendered his resignation of the office of first commissioner of railways, which had been reluctantly accepted ; and a member of the Board of Trade would be appointed as an unpaid commissioner to fill the office. After some discussion, Mr. LABOUCHERE moved the previous question, which, on a division, was carried by a majority of 19, thd numbers being 75 to 56. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY moved the second reading of the Election Recognizances Bill, its principal object being, in those cases of contested returns where the recogni zances taken before the examiner are i nva lid, th a t the petitioners shall be afforded the opportunity of making them good before the committee on elections. After a debate the house divided, when the second reading was carried by a majority of 32, the numbers being 112 to 80. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNEsDAy AN STEP postponed the committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill until a future day. Mr. GOVLBURN moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire whether the oaths required to be taken at the table by members of the house had been duly taken by Benjamin Hawes, Esq. (the newly-elected member for Kinsale.) The motion was agreed to, and a select committee or dered to be appointed. Mr. EWART postponed the second reading of the Ap peals in Criminal Cases Bill until the second Wednesday after Easter. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH brought forward a motion respecting the increase which had taken place in the ex pense of the public departments during the past year. The noble lord particularly specified the post-office, the Admi ralty, and the Colonial-office, as the departments in which additional expense had been incurred, amounting to a to taLog.AMP-Mtentitinigelflvitti-m`osving for a specific re turn of the salaries and emoluments allowed to each per son employed in the public departments for the year 1847. If that return should not be satisfactory, then he should consider it necessary either to move fora select committee, or perhaps to move for the correspbndence which had taken place between the Treasury and the different depart.. xnents with respect to the increase or diminution of the charge on.the public. The Marquii of LANSDOWNE had no objection to the return. He was quite sure that the additional charges were not incurred for any other object than the efficient discharge of the public duties required from each depart ment. Earls GREY and AUCKLAND and the Marquis of CLAN RICARDE then explained the reasons which had occasioned increased expenditure in their several departments. Lord STANLEY thanked the Earl of Ellenborough for having brought the subject forward, but suggested, as the Government did not seem to have understood the nature of his motion, that it should be withdrawn and brought forward again at a future period. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH agreed to this suggestion, and the motion was withdrawn. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in reply to Lord Beau mont, stated that the effect of the Arms Act had been to put an end to outrage in the- more disturbed districts of Ireland,—that juries and witnesses also had discharged their onerous duties in the most exemplary manner,—that the clergy of the Establ shed Church had generally lent their aid in preventing disturbance, and the Roman Ca tholic clergy, also, had, not only in Ireland, but in Eng land—particularly in Manchester—manifested a strong desire for the preservation of order, by exhorting their hearers to preserve it. He earnestly hoped, therefore, with the aid of the improved spirit which had evinced itself in Ireland, that the government would be enabled, to maintain that which they were determined to maintain —the public peace. Lord STANLEY congratulated their lordships on the testimony borne to the conduct of the catholic clergy, the more particularly because he had had occasion at an earlier period of the session to impugn it ; but he even now thought they felt desirous of having it believed that the 'preservation of order was rather the result of their own fluence than to be attributed to the operation of the aw. He was free, however, to admit that there were cases, as at Manchester and elsewhere, which showed the existence of a more estimable spirit. After referring to the revolutions which were convulsing Europe, but which found but a faint echo in this country, in consequence of the determined conduct of the great bulk of society to overawe the small minority who were anxious to disturb it, the noble lord proceeded to contend, that looking to the language which had been used by certain parties in Ireland, it did appear to him, contemplating the conse quences to which such exhortations might lead, that they ought to be rendered liable to a punishment less tardy than the ordinary process of indictment for misdemeanour, or prosecution as state criminals for thigh treason could award. He thought this subject well deserving the attention of all those who were desirous to see bloodshed avoided, and peace maintained in Ireland. Lord MONTEAGLE was of opinion that the law had never been more satisfactorily administered in Ireland than at the present time : the people saw that acts of vio lence interfered with the application of capital and the employment of labour, and hence a better feeling was ma nifested throughout that country. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY Mr. LABOUCHERE, in reply to Mr. J. B. Smith, stated that a cargo of cotton coming from the United States to :Havre, and thence to England, Under the American or English flag, could be landed, provided no part of the cargo had been discharged; but the admission of cotton under the French flag, in, consequence of its being un saleable in Ilavre, would be a direct violation of the navi gation laws i and in answer to Mr. Bright, the right hon. gentleman stated that the present pressure of public busi ness prevented his stating when the bill for the alteration of the navigation, laws would be brought in, but of which event due notice would be given. . A conversation, as to the amount of poor rates levied in Ireland, was raised by Lord George Bentinck. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Mr. J. Clay, stated that no measures bad been taken for, protecting the British trade in the Baltic, the Government not considering any such step necessary. Mr. Htrairt expressed a hope, as Lord Minto had held credentials to the court of Naples, that as the king had abdicated, the noble earl's interference would cease. The House resolved into a committee of supply, when the SECRETARY-AT-WAR, having given a detail of the principal items of the army estimates, moved a vote-of 113,847 men (exclusive of the troops in India) for the service of the ensuing year. —• Mr. HUME moveit that_ the number be reduced to 100,000. _ The speakers in favour of the original proposition were Mr. V. Smith, Col. Sibthorp, Lord J. R usse ll ( w h o ex pressed his intention of - revising the whole system of taxation, NEltich pressed so heitvily on the working classes') Sir D. L. Evans, and Mr. Newdegate. The speakers. in *your of the amendment were Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright. Mr. B. Osnoaria suggvsted a plan of his own, which, without impairing the 'efficiency of the army, would save .£670,000 of the present estimate. • THE LIVERPOOL 'STANDARD. ~.~ of what passes in Europe.

A detachment of Royal Artillery is quartered in the Castle of Dublin, with four nine-pounder howitzers and tumbrils of ammunition: 10,000 stand of arms and 150,000 rounds of musket ball cartridge are lodged in the castle. According to the Dublin Herald "ball practice" has commenced among the repeal rifles. About 150 of them assembled on the North Wall on Sunday, and exhibited no contemptible specimen of skill. At a meeting held at Galway, on St. Patrick's Day, a Mr. Winter charged Lord John Russell with" callous and cold-blooded cruelties and wholesale butcheries," and said, amidst loud cheers, that his lordship deserved to perish on the block. PREPARATIONS.—Troops are now arriving daily in Ire land, and Lord Clarendon has adopted every precaution necessary for the emergency in which he is placed. The loyal inhabitants of Dublin, to the amount of several thousand men, are to be supplied with muskets and am- IRELAND. SWEDEN Disturbances broke out at Stockholm on the 19th ult., the results of a great reform banquet. The military were ultimately obliged to interfere, and several persons were killed. Order was restored next - day, and the King and Princes, on riding through the capital, were received with great enthuaiasm. Several deputations waited on the King, to express their sorrow at what had occurred. Other accounts speak of the erection of•barricades, the breaking into and plunder of shops, the release of prisoders, and the destruction of the house of Count Hartmansdorf, the leader of the ultra-Conservative party. The Swedish papers attribute these excesses to no political cause. They proceeded from the lowest class of the people. munition. Mrs. Bray, formerly Miss Walker, of Newcastle, in this county, who was employed as nurse to the Princess Royal, has been also engaged in the same capacity for the infant Princess, born a few days since.—Limerick Chronicle.—[lf the above statement be true, it is clear her Majesty does not apply to the " no Irish need apply" system.] There was a scene at the Repeal Association meeting on the 7th. John O'Connell was, as would-be represen tative of his Sainted Sire, for pacific measures. He pro posed an address to the Queen for Repeal, and to the Prime Minister for food. A Mr. Leyne, however, spoke openly for violent and coercive means for attaining their objects. He afterwards explained that he meant nothing ‘• illegal." The Dublin Herald and Pilot newspapers speak of a threatening letter delivered to Lord Clarendon, on or before the lith, threatening his Lordship that evening with assassination at the ball. The Pilot says that a person handed a noteto one of the attendants at the door, telling him to give it to his Excellency, and then hurriedly departed. At the Repeal meeting, on Monday, on Lord Clarendon's name being mentioned by one of the speakers, a fellow shouted at the top of his voice " he is a good mark." The Repealers, finding that Lord Clarendon is too well prepared to permit them to hope for success from their pikes and pistols, are trying to wheedle the Protestants of Ireland into " peaceful co-operation" with them. For this purpose they propose to address a persuasive appeal "to the Orangemen and anti-Repeal Protestants of Ireland." " The Orangemen and Conservative Protes tants of Ireland," says the Freeman, " are yet unac quainted with us." Quite a mistake. They are some what too well acquainted with you, and the better they know the less they like you. THE ORANGEMEN.—A meeting of the Orangemen of the Moneymore district, was held on the 27th ult., to take into consideration the present alarming state of the coun try, when an address to his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant was agreed to, expressive of their determination to support the monarchial government of the realm, and maintain the union between Great Britain and Ireland. .Similar resolutions have been passed by most of the lodges throughout Ireland, and we trust that the Irish viceroy and the government and people of Great Britain generally will appreciate and honour the fidelity of the Protestant people of Ireland. PRUSSIA Accounts from Berlin state that not only was the city perfectly tranquil, but the King was more popular than ever he had been. His Majesty started for Potsdam on the morning of the 25th, where the magistrates and the inhabitants treated him with great enthusiasm. The pub lic could scarcely be prevented from taking the horses from the King's carriage and drawing it themselves. The King addressed the people and the officers of the Potsdam garrison, and returned to Berlin about noon. The at tempts to establish a republic in Prussia have all signally A letter from Berlin in the Dusseldorfer Deitung speaks of the critical position of affairs with regard to Russia. In consequence of the seizure of the Petersburg despatches at Kiisnigsberg the Russian Anibassador, Baron Meyendorf, has been instructed by his court to leave Berlin and has taken his departure with his family and the rest of the legation. This almost amounts to actual de claration of war. The 2nd regiment has consequently re ceived ,orders to march to the frontier. Almost all the liberated Poles have left Berlin for Posen. They are all provided with arms, and according , to their statements (which, as members of the Polish Propaganda, must be pretty correct), all the Poles now in England and France would join them at Posen to assist in reconquering Poland. Hopes are entertained of raising a Polish army Of 40,000 men in the Grand Duchy of Posen.. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Danes are arming their sea defences with all speed. The King has declined to allow Schleswig (a duchy which has been attached to Denmark from time immemorial) to pass over to the German Confederation, though it is to have " as much provincial independence as the nature of the case admits." The Danish Government shrinks from extremities to the last moment, but the inhabitants are prepared to follow the first appeal of their King. The Schleswig-Holstein insurrection has met with little favour at Hamburgh, though things look very black. A letter dated Hamburgh, March 28th, says The Danes pre pare for war, and the German Confederation having taken the quarrel up, a complete panic reigns at our Exchange. It is feared that the Danes will blockade the Sound and Belt, and seize all German vessels. All shipments from the Baltic must, consequently, cease immediately, as also from Denmark and Holstein. 12,000 Danes are said to be preparing to march into. Schleswig. Several vessels on their way through the Belt have not been allowed to pass, and have gone back to Lubeck. All the seamen in merchant vessels in Denmark will be pressed ; a good many have already deserted their vessels to enter the navy The " Belgian Legion," composed of Frenchmen, 2000 strong, invaded Belgium on the 29th ult., and - were op posed by the advanced guard, composed of 200 men and 25 artillerymen, on which the legion pressed forward with colours flying and drums beating a charge. For a few moments their fire was brisk. Several prisoners were taken, i . 11(1 apong ., tll..hp , _lpg f i Le o fA c hlo:3z;" l" iiii i five or six wounded. When the main column of the Belgian troops arrived, the defeat was complete, and the invaders fled in disorder across the French frontier. This is a downright attempt at invasion by the French republic, though denied : it is called a return of Belgian operatives to their own native country, but in reality it is an irrup tion of French soldiers ; and at this moment there is an armed force of 6000 men, the majority of them French men, assembled on the frontier, preparing to enter Bel gium with the hope of annexing it to France.

The Austrian troops at Milan, on the 21st ult., being in want of provisions, offered to treat, but the Podesta replied that he would listen to no terms until they should have evacuated the citadel. The conflict then be came most murderous. The Austrians had about 700 killed and wounded, whilst the Milanese only lost 250 men. Eventually the Austrian army evacuated the town, and now no longer occupies Lombardy. The retreat from Milan, which commenced, soon became disordered, and ended in absolute flight. The soldiers harassed, in dis order, and without food, had the greatest difficulty to force a passage through a country of which the whole po pulation had risen against them. General Radetzky was obliged to abandon to the Milanese the whole of the wounded, all his ammunition, and a great portion of his baggage and artillery. A regiment of dragoons, which was cut off from retreating by the insurgents, was obliged to surrender, and lay down its arms. The battle had lasted six days, and the resistance was of the most obsti nate kind on both sides. The Austrian army having now retreated from Lombardy, appears to concentrate at Ve rona, on the line of the Adige. On the 20th ult. all was quiet at Milan.

LIBEL.-At the Denbighshire assizes, last week, an action was brought by Mr. Barnwell,. head inaster,of the Rutbin School, against Mr. Rees, the editor and pro prietor of the Carnarvon - and Denbigh Herald, for an alleged libelous attack contained in a letter in that paper of the 6th December last, signed " Anti=Severity." The letter complained that " in a public grammar school not a hundred 'miles from an assize town, the .pupils were made to kindle the fires ; that they were not allowed to have a fire in the school-room till so late in the season as the 19th November ; and that each had only for breakfast and supper three pieces of bread and butter, averaging four inches in length and half an inch thick." The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £25. LIBEL ON THE BISHOP OF EXETER.-At the Exeter assizes, on Monday, a case 6 ` The Queen v. Latimer," excited considerable, interest. It was an indictment pre ferred by the Bishop of Exeter against Mr. Latimer, the proprietor of the Western Times newspaper, for a libel, in which the bishop was called a brawler and a " consecrated and careless perverter of truth, and one who does no credit to the mitre, which he is paid £2OO a week or thereabouts to wear." The affair arose out of an attack made upon the Duke of Somerset by the Bishop of Exeter, in the House of Lords, relative to a new chapel which the duke had built.' Lora SOinerset, the son of the duke, at a public. meeti ng at Totness, enaracterised the bishop's statements as falsehoods, and it was in corn ; meeting on this meeting that the article had appeared.

" Go, show yourselves at Conciliation-hall," said he " and ask the gentlemen there if they will not take arms now for the French equa lity." THE IRISH LANDLORDS.—At the Repeal meeting, on Monday, Lord Miltown stated that, in the county of Mayo, two gentlemen of large landed estates, hearing that the Society of Friends were looking for ground, for the benevolent purpose of employing the people, competed with each other in making offers of their land. One offered his -to the society, merely on the condition of paying all taxes upon it ; but the other went further, for he not only offered his land without rent, but undertook to pay the poor rates upon it, if the society would under take to pay merely the county cess. Such was the state to which the gentry of Ireland were now reduced ! A gentleman, one of large fortune in the county, had lately been obliged to sell his carriage and horses to pay a sum of £1,500 due upon his estate in poor rates,alone, and had since been obliged to fly the country altogether to avoid arrest. SAVAGE AND FATAL BRUTALITY.—TWO farmers, next door neighbours, near Rathdrum, coun ty of Wicklow, having quarrelled, one of them, with a party, attacked the other, broke the old man's skull, and left him stretched beside a wall weltering in his blood. A sister of the vic torious party got on the. wall, raised an immense stone therefrom, and with all her might sank it down into the old man's chest and heart. His old wife, long after, hob bled out to see what was done ; they saw her, and came at her with a spade. She raised up one arm, which they slit from the wrist to the elbow. She then raised the other to defend her head. This they broke in pieces, then gave her two dangerous cuts in the head. One son's skull was broken ; there are little or no hopes of his re covery, he being quite delirious ; tha others are all man gled, such as broken arms, lips cut off, and teeth knocked out with facks. Romtsu LIBERALITY.—The papish journals of this country all harp on the same string—that civil liberty is only compatible with Popish rule. On looking over the new Papal constitution, therefore, we naturally looked to see these respectrble or questionable authorities confirmed. We searched narrowly, hoped long, found nothing, and incurred disappointment. Found nothing !—by no means ! We found much. It was comprised in a few words, but to the manner the signification was " as Ossa to a wart." It was neither more nor less than this. Behold the Papal spirit which ensures equality of freedom to every man who breathes within the Papal jurisdiction :—" THE PRO FESSION OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION IS INDISPENSA- BLE AS A QUALIFICATION FOR THE EXERCISE OF CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS." We can scarcely believe what we read. What r Civil rights not to be extended to the man whose religious opinions are at issue with those held by the head of the state ? Oh, Dr. INVIIaIe !-- 2 -is it in the Btatc3 of tho church that no man shall possess'a vote who is not impressed with the convictions of the Sovereign of those States ? In much bemoaned Ireland, papists have not only such votes, but there, as in England also, they are eligible as candidates. Popery—and Popery only—re fuse these rights. Sir W: MoLEswouTH moved that the number of men be reduced to 108,000, the number voted last year. The House divided, first on Mr. Hume's amendment, which was negatived by a majority of 254, the numbers 293 to 39, and secondly on that of Sir W. Moleswortb, which was rejected by 246 to 45, majority 201. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL FRANCE The Provisional Government having discovered a plot among the exaltes of the clubs for the arrest of Lamar tine and Gamier Pages, have determined to organize a civic guard of 1500 men for the protection of the govern ment. Disorders had taken place at Rouen on Tuesday. The Provisional Government has materially reduced the salaries of all public functionaries. The Provisional Government has fixed the Ist of April for the reception of Mr. Smith O'Brien and the Irish deputation. - At eight o'clock on Wednesday evening a mob sur rounded the office of the Presse, vociferating threats against M. de Girardin. That gentleman, however, in a two hours' conference, succeeded in talking them over, and they departed quietly. Another attempt was, how ever, subsequently made to destroy the printing machinery of the paper, which was with the greatest difficulty kept down. _ It is very evident that among people of property confi dence has not been restored. A vast quantity of valua bles are daily leaving Paris, which are the property, not of the timid and the ignorant, but of those who are sup posed to be the best informed on the real position of Id . It is said that the chief partner in one of the tanking establishments of Paris, who was known to have sent away a large amount of property, has been informed by the Government that he himself will not be allowed to leave Paris. The Union says, " In contradiction to a rumour which was current on Monday evening in many saloons, and in most public places, we are enabled to state, in the most formal manner, that M.de Rothschild has not left Paris." The Courier de Lyons says that the workmen in that city were in revolt. They had demanded and took forci ble possessions of the powder magazine, and seized on a quantity of arms, and at the time the paper was going to press orders had been given that no public carriage should be allowed to leave the city. M. Arago the Commissary of the Government, had sent to Paris for orders, and had expressed his determination to carry them into execution to the last extremity. wing to the approaching elections, and with details of the revolution and revolutionary movements throughout Eu rope. Venice, it was said, has declared herself once more a republic. Poland is about to follow this example ; and the Perk, calculating, we suppose, upon more than ordi nary credulity, declares that 'Spain has been a republic ever since the 25th ult.. The Times correspondent states that although an anti-ministerial feeling had caused con siderable agitation at Madrid, no man dreamed of a republic The National, alluding to the prompt and total discom fiture of the band of marauders who had attempted to en ter Belgium from France, with a view to revolutionise that kingdom, faintly recommends an inquiry into the affair. The Presse continues its fearless opposition to the Pro visional Government, and speaks openly of the deplorable accounts received from the departments. At Rouen, Lyons, St. Etienne, and Troyes, agitation and riots had occurred. In Paris the miscreants found guilty of destroying the )f the St. Germains Railroad at Asnieres, were on ay sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, varying from one to five years. Thursd The planting of trees of liberty had become such a nui sance that Government has at last determined to put an end to the practice. The journals mention innumerable gifts of money, plate, and other valuables, from individuals and associa- tions, in aid of the public treasury. REPUBLICAN POLES.—About three thousand Poles assembled on Monday in the Place de la Revolution, and proceeded in order, with their national colours (red and white) flying, to the Hotel de Villei. A considerable crowd accompanied the cortege, and loud cries of " Poland for ever !" were heard on all sides. At the Hotel de Ville the Provisional Government received a deputation of the main body. The latter asked for arms, but La martine, in a fraternising speech, refused this, and bid them do their work unaided, but by good wishes. Rumours of disturbances in several of the provinces were afloat yesterday morning in Paris. BELGIUM. On the 27th ult., there was an attempt at an emeute in Brussels. About 160 people came out of the public houses in the Grande Place, and forming themselves into a body, went through the neighbouring streets to the Grand Sablon. In the rue de Rollebesk a pistol was fired at one of the agents of police, but happily without effect. They next proceeded down the rue d'Or and rue de l'Empereur, shouting " Vive la Republique." Here their further progress was opposed by the serjeants of the city, who succeeded in dispersing them, by giving them heavy blows with their batons. Several citizens helped the police in dispersing the rioters, eight of whom were arrested. what name it went by. " The Regulator" driver.'

CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE The Countess of Bridgewater has contributed the sum of £3,300 towards the repair of Ellesmere Church. The Lord Bishop of Manchester has appointed Dr. Haggard, of Doctors' Commons, to be Chancellor of that diocese. The Archbishop. of Canterbury has dismissed Mr.. Maitland, and appointed one of his sons-in-law to the librarianship of Lambeth. The Times states that the Rev. H. G.

Mr. Kennedy, who has been the incumbent of St. Paul's Church, Birmingham, during the last fifty two years, will preach his farewell sermon to the congrega tion on Sunday. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners have resolved, on the representation of John Tollemache, Esq., M.P., to aug ment the endowment of the Incumbency of Swallwood, Cheshire. On Tuesday, the annual meeting of the Bradford Auxi liary of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, was held in that town. The Lord Bishop of Ripon presided. The attend ance was very large. UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM.—The Lord Bishop of Dur ham has given £6OO to the University, of which £2OO is to be applied to the prize fund, and £lOO to the enlarge ment of the Castle Hall. The foundation-stone of a new church at Fordcombe green, in the parish of Pensburst, was laid by Lord Har dinge on Friday last. The funds for the building were transmitted from India just after his splendid achievements there. May we venture to suggest, what perhaps has already been done in some parishes, that the Prayer for Fair Weather should be offered ? The recent long prevalence of rain may, we believe, be regarded as a visitation under which this prayer may be fitly used. OXFORD.-Mr. J. G. Sargent, First-Master of Merton College, has just been elected to the Hertford Sch o l ar ship for th promotion of the study of Latin. There were up wards of 30 candidates. It was announced that the second in the examination was Mr. W. Word, Scholar of Trinity College, who was lately head boy of the Royal Institution School in this town.

The occasion was taken advantage of by the inhabitants to testify, by the mode of their reception, their sense of the honour conferred on the parish by the Primate as well as the respectful attachment entertained by them selves towards their revered diocesan. ELECTION OF THE BISHOP OF CHESTER.—Friday having been appointed for the election of a Bishop of the diocese of Chester, rendered vacant by the promotion of Dr. John Bird Sumner to the Archbishopric of Canter bury, the proceedings created no inconsiderable interest, twenty years having elapsed since the occurrence of a similar ceremony. The Hon. and Rev. Dr. Anson, D.D., Dean of Chester, entered the Cathedral shortly before eleven o'clock, being accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Slade, Vicar of Bolton le Moors, and the Rev. J. Eaton, Canons Residentiary of the Cathedral, with the officials ; and the usual ceremonials having been gone through, Dr. John Graham was unanimously elected to the vacant bishopric of Chester. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER.—There is no new feature in the market since our last report. There is still some business doing in low cloths for India ; but in goods generally there is barely suffi cient business.to maintain the present very low prices, and the tendency of the market is drooping. This is still more the case with yarns. Manufacturers are unwilling to drive their hands out of employment . ; and they therefore throw their goods on the market, in order to continue running their mills, whereas their own interest would induce them to stop working. This circumstance partly accounts for the very great depression wuich exists. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—We have had a better at tendance in our market this week than for the last three or four weeks past, and some of the manufacturers have sold more goods to-day than they did on the two previous market days ; yet the market is not so brisk as is usually the case at this sea son of the year, but confidence is better than . for the last three months past. Prices of all descriptions of gray goods are the same as our last report. There has been rather more doing in the 'Wool market : prices remain firm. LEEDS.—With some improvement in the weather, there has been a slight increase in the demand fo r woollen goods, but, as has been the case for some time past, the purchases have been 'chiefly for the home trade. Stocks being small, prices remain firm. Many of the operative woollen manufacturers are but partially employed, and a large number are witho u t any wor k at all. The trade has not been more stagnated at this period of the year for several years past.

Some descriptions of goods are rather scarce, especially new patterns suitable for spring. Prices are without any alteration. LEICESTER. —We cannot notice any improvement this week. The London and Manchester houses are doing nothing; and the country trade, owing partly to the continuance of wet weather, is extremely fiat. Orders for the United States are, on the most limited scale, and our continental demand is at present at an end. But little is doing in worsted yarns; which have not been lower since :830. YA reduction of Is. p er bundle has been made by one house from their list price in brown cotton hosiery yarn. But little is doing in wools ; prices con tinue-steady, and, at present, are but little affected by the ge neral gloom which pervades all branches of trade. N'tiTrimouAN.—Lace: It is difficult to give an accurate re port of the state of the lace market; there is difficulty and distrust as to the state of Germany and Italy, and consequently less doing than even a week ago. Some fancy silk goods are selling for the home trade, which, on the whole, appears to be reviving : and it is our chief dependence, so it would prove, in. the actual state of this business, a most important resource, were the buyers tolerably assured of uninterrupted tranquility. The number of unemployed hands is rather increased than otherwise, many employers finding their resources inadequate to maintaining their production. even at its present rate.— Hosiery: The trade has experienced a slight improvement during the past few days; and, should the present fine open weather continue, it will materially tend to a still further change for the better. Our market has also been visited by several buyers ; the sales cannot, however, be reported as being large, or, indeed, equal to former seasons; but, from the in quiries generally made by buyers after most descriptions of goods, we may safely conclude that the stocks of goods in the hands of the factors are comparatively small at this period of the season, dompared with former years. Still, it is to be greatly feared that, however small may he the present amount of production, it is more than equal to the demand. GLASGOW.—Our market continues in a state of great depres sion, and there is little alteration to notice in prices, or in the extent of transactions. The commercial intelligence, however, of a morem Some ao smcheerfulthe f n ee n a e t it i n s re of m a n ad d neu manufactured has ip c t contributed b goodsl whichtedarteo ind ex i sted prepara tioni spel last in w ssome ke io r Mexico, in expectation of their being admitted under the American tariff; should such prove to be the case, san• guine expectations are entertained of a profitable result, the country being represented as entirely bare of supplies. In' other respects, the latest foreign accounts are not calculated to stimulate production. The country trade continues to im. prove slowly, and our market this week has been favoured by a good attendance of English buyers. Spinners and power loom cloth'manufacturers (especially the latter) complain that they are unable to compete with the low prices still ruling in Manchester. Etterature. NOTICE. th fc W bi an,
