Imperial Parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS.- •TLIURSDAY The Earl of DEVON asked the noble Secretary for the HOme Department if it was true that the valuator of the poor law union of Cloghereen, in the county of Tipperary, when called upon to read his valuation book at a meeting of the guardians, had read the names, adding to the first name read " tory," to the second name " tory," :o the third name, " tory and disturber," and so on. This was a proceeding so extraordinary that he felt it necessary to call the attention of the noble marquis to the subject. • The Marquis of NORMANBY said that this was the first in timation he had of such an occurrence, but he should cause inquiries to be made respecting it immediately. After the representation of some petitions, their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. Lord Listowel took the oaths and his seat for the borough of St. Alban's, and Lord Eaatnor for the borough of Reigate. Lord J. RUSSELL announced that he would this evening move the consideration of her Majesty's most gracious mes sage, respecting a provision for Lord Keane. Mr. HOME gave notice that he would take the sense of the house against the proposed pension. In reply to a question from Lord Ingestre respecting the Niger expedition, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the expedition had been pur posely delayed, in order that it might not arrive at the Niger at a period of the year when there wouldnot be water enough to enable vessels to enter the mouth of the river. He was aware that the result of this would be to cause the expedition to arrive there in the most unhealthy season of the year, but that would be better than allowing the expedition to remain in an unhealthy part of the country as long as the waters re mained shallow. The instructions for the government of the expedition were not yet ready to be laid before parliament. Sir E. KNATCHBULL obtained leave to bring in a bill pro viding for the appointment and payment of parish constables in England and Wales. Viscount SANDON was extremely sorry to find he was com pelled again to bring under the consideration of his noble friend and the house the claims of certain British subjects upon the gratitude and honour of the'Queen of Portugal and her Government, arising out of the late war of restoration. From what had occurred during the last session he had hoped these claims would, ere now, have been in a course of liqui dation ; but, on his return to town, he was much concerned to find the state of those claims was much the same as it had been at the rising of parliament. These claims had origi nated in transactions which took place six years ago, and had remained unsettled ever since. His noble friend the Foreign Secretary had, last year, announced to the house that, after much negotiation on the subject, the Portuguese Govern ment bad agreed to the appointment of a commission, to con sist of two persons selected by their respective Governments, to consider and settle these claims. The appointment by Portugal took place on the 13th of March last ; the corrimis sioners arrived here in May, yet it was not until the follow ing November that it gave any indication of life. In Decem ber it first put forth an invitation to the claimants to put in their claims; and he had been informed that up to this mo ment there had been no instance of a claim having been de cided upon and allowed. There had been, it appeared, doubt sustained by the commission as to the principle upon which these claims were to be adjusted, whether by the original contract, or by construction. He confessed all this procras tination and hesitation had given him the more surprise, when he recollected that early in 1840 Lord Howard De "Walden had informed the Government of Portugal that unless the matter was put in a train of settlement within fourteen days the British Government would certainly take the matter into its own hands. He felt that, under these circumstances, he was fully justified in making his present motion, and should therefore move that his noble friend should lay on the table, for the information of the house, the following papers Copy of the mixed British and Portuguese commission fur investi g ating and determi n i ng th e nava l arid military claims on the Government of Portugal, arising out of the late war of restoration; also, a copy of the convention between the British and Portuguese Governments relating to.the issuing of such commission.—Copy of the instructions and :rules framed for the guidance and direction of the commissioners. —Return of what has been done by the commissioners, and what :progress has been made in th e i nvest i gat i on of the i claims, and the number of claims, if any, which have been 1 investigated and adjudicated ; and, if not any, the causes of the delay." Lord PALMERSTON regretted that he was not able to say that those claims had been entirely settled ; but since the close of last session great progress had been made, and he hoped ere long that the settlement of them would be brought to a conclusion. A commissioner had been appointed by Portugal, and another by Great Britain, and the Belgian minister accepted the office of arbitrator in the event of any difference between the commissioners. One point of differ ence was now pending before him, and upon its decision the business would be soon terminated, as, upon the principle laid down in that one point, all the other matters, which were chiefly of detail; would be easily disposed of. Sir DE LACY EVANS said, the whole delay was attribu table to the want of good faith on the part of the Portuguese government, a►ad if that should turn out to be the case, he trusted the compensation to the claimants would be upon the most ample principle. . . . Mr. H. BAILLIE moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the condition of the islands and highlands of Scotland, with a view to affording relief to the inhabitants by means of emigration ; and various circum stances pointed out Canada as the country most eligible for them to be sent to. Lord TEIGNMOUTH seconded the motion. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed to the appointment of the com mittee, though he could not agree that the distress in these districts arose altogether from the changes in the revenue laws. He thought, if a grant of a large sum were made to these people for the purposes of emigration, they would have a number of similar applications from other parts of the kingdom. Sir R. PEEL said, that considering the great sufferings of the class alluded to, and the exemplary patience with which they had borne those sufforings, it would be wrong to refuse an inquiry ; and he should much prefer that that inquiry should take plate before a committee of the House of Commons, rather than before a mere local commission. One great be nefit would, at all events, flow from an inquiry, if it only showed what it was in the power of the government to do in the way of emigration, and the difficulties the emigrants would have to encounter, even if enabled to land in the Canadas or any other colony. Mr. Humn said that five out of seven persons who emi grated to the Canadas were obliged to leave them, owing to the impossibility of obtaining employment. On the suggestion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER. Mr. Baillie consented to alter his resolution by the introduction of the words " to consider the practicability of affording relief by means of emigration." ' After a few observations from Mr. W. S. O ' BRIEN and Mr. M. Pintos, the motion was agreed to. Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN obtained leave to bring in a bill for executing the ordnance survey of England and Scotland on an enlarged scale. The English survey hitherto was on a scale of one inch to a mile, which that of Ireland was on a scale of six inches to a mile. The advantage of the latter scale had been found very great, and the object was to give power to adopt the same for England and Scotland. Several hon. members expressed their opinions of the great utility of such an enlarged survey as that proposed. On the motion for the second reading of the tithe compo sition (Ireland) bill, Mr. SHAW complained of the hardships inflicted upon the Protestant clergy of Ireland by the delays which have taken place in the repayment of arrears of tithes to the clergy. They were told by Lord Melbourne, in the House of Lords, that they would receive 70 per cent. upon I those arrears, and they consented to give up the other 30 per cent. The result, however, was, that they had only received Gs 10d in the pound, or 33 per cent., instead of 70. Mr. PIGOT said that the delay arose from a great number of errors in the return of the value of tithes. Those errors had been rectified in the course of the last summer, and the most active steps Lad since then been instituted, and, in most instances successfully, in the local courts, to recover the arrears outstanding. Those exertions would be perse vered in until the whole were recovered. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY The Bishop of London presented a petition from Leeds in favour of the drainage of buildings bill. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that the building of churches and the endeavour to inculcate principles of religion and mo rality were all useless, unless they could give to the working classes a home where they would enjoy some comfort. With out such a home, to talk of inculcating religion and morality was absurd, and every exertion should be directed to improve the condition of the poor as a first step to their improvement. He had one objection to the bill—that it had no retrospec tive operation, and that it provided no remedy for bad venti lation. In the large towns much greater distress prevailed than amongst the agricultural labourers. The landed pro prietor knew the poor on his estates and felt an interest in relieving his necessities, but in large towns great wealth and abject poverty were to be met beside each other, the great manufacturers taking no such interest in the welfare of the poor in their districts. No man, however, had a right to use his property so as to inflict evil on the community. Avarice had its rights, but so had humanity, and active measures should be taken, at whatever sacrifice, to improve the physi cal condition of the manufacturing population. The Marquis of NORMANBY, in moving the second mad ing of the bill, admitted that it was limited in extent—that it was, in fact, but one step in a right course. The noble marquis quoted a variety of documents, showing the preva lence of fever arising from deficient drainage in populous towns and neighbourhoods, and mentioned instances in which the moment the cause was removed, the pernicious effect was at once put an end to. The Marquis of SALISBURY thought that the only objec 'tion to the bill was, that it did-not go far enough. He thought, however, that the clauses had not been so well con sidered as they might have been, when it was remembered that they interfered with private interests, and' suggested, therefore, the reference of the bill to a select committee up stairs. The Earl of WICKLOW said the bill did not go far enough, because in London as great evils resulted from burial grounds in populous districts as from bad drainage. Considering the number of people who lived in cellars in populous towns, he thought the bill too stringent, and it was likewise too stringent in fixing the size of rooms. The Marquis of NORMANBY agreed that the bill should be referred to a select committee, and it was accordingly read a second time, and referred, after which their lordships ad journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. Mr. LABOUCIILRE, in reply to a question from Mr. Ewalt, stated that Government did intend to make an alteration in the duties on Neapolitan oil, but he could not say what al teration would be. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the order of the day for taking the Queen's message into consideration. Mr. liumE inquired whether the Government was aware of a charge made in India against Lord Keane, of murdering a native trooper, which charge was published in an Indian newspaper. . _ Sir . J: C. HourrousE said that the Government at home had never officially heard of the charge, which was a gross and. groundless calumny, published in an Indian newspaper under the anonymous signature of " Injured Innocence." The noble lord vindicated the humanity of Lord Keane, and instanced the fact that, during the advance of the army to Ghuznee, not a single man, British or native, had been sub jected to corporal punishment. Sir R. JENKINS and Mr. HOGG denied that any remon strance had ever been made to the East India Company on the subject ; nor had they ever heard of it until they saw it in the.newspaper alluded to. After some further conversation the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole house, and Lord J. Russell moved that £2,000 a year be granted to Lord Keane and to his two next heirs. Sir R. PEEL observed that, according to the forms of the house, a seconder was not required, or he would have been happy to second the motion. He did not care whether the authors of these calumnies were prosecuted by Lord Kearne or not. Probably, the more fitting name for " Injured In nocence" would have been " Detected Cowardice." He thought this proposal for a pension should have been brought forward earlier; it ought to have followed immediately after the peerage had been conferred. The right lion. baronet eu logised the importance of the services of Lord Keane, and concluded by expressing his approval of the pension. Lord Howicx paid no attention to the story from an Indian newspaper, but appealed to the economical policy of Queen Elizabeth, in the distribution of rewards, as an example worthy of imitation. He commented on the profusion too often displayed by the house, and of which they now felt the el ec t s . He disliked granting these pecuniary rewards, more particularly to thc"succesgors of the party who had rende re the service. The pension might thus endure for a long se ries of years, and would operate as a precedent for future grants. - Lord J. RUSSELL observed that Roman generals, and the generals also of Queen Elizabeth, had opportunities of ac quiring spoils from conquered states, which opportunities no longer existed. Even in the - time of Elizabeth, successful commanders had accumulated wealth to an extent such as would have brought down infamy on Lord Keane, had he brought it home from Affghanistan. Even in a much later period the crown had means which no longer existed, of re warding great military services by means of great offices of state and sinecures, which had been very properly done away with. Even in an economical point of view, he thought the grant a proper one. If a pension like this were to be re fused, the peerage could never be conferred even for the most distinguished services, except on persons of great wealth. Mr. HUME said the consequence of the system proposed to be continued would be the increase of pauper peers, who, with their families, must become burdens on the public. If a peerage was considered the proper reward, why not grant it for life only, which would not take his successor out of the middle ranks of life, and thus cut him off from pursuits which might secure him an independence. He should cer tainly take the sense•of the house; in opposition to the grant. Sir H. VIVIAN supported the grant, and enumerated some of Lord Keane's services in Affghanistau. After some further discussion, the motion for the grant was carried by a majority of 195 to 43. The house then resolved itself into committee on the customs duties bill, and Mr. Labouchere moved the reduc tion of the duty on rum the produce of the East Indies to 9s. -Ad. per gallon. This was opposed by Mr. Goulburn, as a breach of faith with the West India interests. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the proposed alteration would have but a very gradual effect on the price of West India produce. It was to be remembered also that the price of rum at present was higher than it had been for the last 25 years. The growth of sugar in India was discouraged by closing the English market against East India rum, while at the same time the West India planter was induced to convert into rum canes which would otherwise have been converted into su gar, the result of which was to enhance the price of the latter commodity in the home market. Mr. ENVART adverted to the petition from' the East India growers, in which they declared their willingness to have all slave-grown produce excluded from the advantages of the proposed change. He regretted that it was not proposed to afford similar advantages to the tobacco growers of India. Mr. COLQUHOON and Mr. HAwEs both supported the motion. Sir A. GRANT suggested that the duty should be gradually reduced in order to ensure that the reduction of prices of West India produce should be gradual also. Dr. LUSHINGTON said that the injustice attending our conquests, and our subsequent rule in India, rendered it doubly incumbent upon us to legislate hereafter with no other view than that of the happiness of the inhabitants of that country. After some conversation, in which Lord SANDON and Mr. LABOUCHERE took part, as to the propriety of delaying the period when the bill should come into operation, in the course of which the latter gentleman said, he could consent to no other delay than that which was indispensible, and which, of itself was sufficient to render the change gradual, Mr. Hoc deprecated the a tt em pt to introduce an exemp tion from the advantages of the bill of slave-grown sugar, for he could not admit that a single pound of slave-grown sugar was ever exported from India, and it would be prejudicial to allow the impression to go abroad that there was any such thing as slave-grown sugar in India. Sir R. PEEL said that the principle to be laid down in the government of our colonies ought to be that of perfect equplity, and that principle applied with especial force to the case of India, the manufactures of which had been destroyed by the introduction of those of England. He could not ad mit that slavery existed in the East Indies of such a nature as to warrant any duties of a discriminating character to be levied on the produce of that country, or to warrant any postponement of placing it on an equality with our West In dian colonies. He would suggest an immediate reduction of duty on East India produce by 25., with an intimation that it would be reduced 2s. more next year, and so on. until the whole of the discriminating duty should be abolished. He must say, however, that the West Indians had a right to complain of having been misled by the proceedings of par liament, and of not receiving sufficient notice of the inten tions of the government; still he felt so strongly the justice of the claims of the East Indies, that, unless some hon. gentleman proposed the adoption of his own suggestion, he should support the resolution. The resolution was agreed to without a division. After the disposal of the other 6rders of the day the House adjourned. TRIAL OF LORD CARDIGAN, TO THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THEIR COMMITTEE Feb. 8. My Lords,—One among the thousands in this country who look with reverence and love to the august assembly of the peers of Great Britain takes the liberty of addressing you on the important subject which is appointed to come under your judicial consideration on the 16th inst. In regard to the immediate object of that inquiry I shall not trouble your lordships. Every principle of fair play dear to an English heart revolts at the idea of a man being taken off his guard. If it was intended to enforce an existing law in its rigour, or rather to put a construction upon it which was never contemplated, public notice ought previously to have been given of that intention. But this was not done in the case before your lordships. Equity, therefore, and mercy will sit assessors with justice on the trial of Lord Cardigan. But the sentiments and principles on the subject of duel ling, avowed and acted upon in the progress of this trial, will be of far more importance in their consequences than the issue of the trial itself. An opportunity, in fact, is about to be afforded your lordships of adding yet another benefit to the many which England has already experienced at your hands—an opportunity of stamping your past exertions in the cause of truth, religion, and civilisation, with the seals of sincerity and consistency : nay, words still stronger befit the occasion, and I fear not to say, that your lordships stand at this moment in a situation of great responsibility, in which the eyes of the nation are fixed upon you, anxiously expect ing that you will embrace this favourable occasion to inter pose the shield of your influence between society and that systematic violation of its laws, which has so long and so unhappily prevailed amongst us. It is on the question, therefore, of duelling, that I would now respec tf u ll y engage your lordships' attention Every one will admit the absurdity of the bathos from the lance to the pistol, from the grave and noble auta daft, which the combat of the chivalrous ages exhibited in its solemn appeal to God, as the witness and the judge of right and wrong, to the modern system, resorted to on the most trivial as well as the most important occasions, and as striking a proof of the degenerate faithlessness of the present as the ancient custom, of which it is the distorted image, is of the simple faith and piety of the olden time. The argument for the defence of duelling, as at present constituted, is short, simple, and intelligible. The 'vantage ground of principle is conceded at once ; but the world, it is contended, could not go on without it. There are points where human legislation must stop, where unwritten must take the place of written laws ; society cannot be kept in check except by fear of personal consequences attendant on the violation of those unwritten laws : the system of duelling affords that check ; expediency, therefore, requires the toleration of duelling. Now, were the edifice of society founded on the shifting and variable sands of human folly and weakness, such rea soning might pass current; but if, as we believe and know, its foundations are laid deep below the waves of time and change on the eternal and immutable rock of Divine strength and wisdom, it becomes our duty to test that reasoning by the revealed will of God, and if we find it ring false (as even its advocates confess it does), then, in the confidence that the expediency consists in the resolution of human wisdom and will into the wisdom and will of God, bcildly to repudi ate the perversion of the doctrine usually promulgated un der its name, in this as well as in every other instance, as alike sinful and cowardly in its principle, short-sighted in its views, and destructive in its operation. The Bible is the only standard of right and wrong, and we read there, " Thou shalt not do evil that good may c o t h e o f i t ." The defence, therefore, of duelling on the ground of expediency falls to the ground; and no other &fence is set up for it. But the truth is, that society, so f ar f rom court i ng or need ing the support of duelling, abhors and disowns a system which strikes at the very foundation of social order. Duel ling is the mere foster-child of public opinion —the public opinion, moreover, not of the nation at large, but of a class, on whose sentiments and practices any opinion expressed by your lordships, its brightest ornaments, must necessarily possess incalculable influence. It is this influence which we implore you to exercise on the present occasion. It is not in the indulgence of malice or revenge that the essential iniquity of duelling consists. Many a man has fought a duel with perfect innocence as regards these points. Few, I believe, take their stations in the field with the de liberate intention of " killing, maiming, or doing some grievous bodily injury" to their antagonist, as imputed to the noble earl now summoned to your lordships' bar for trial. Far from it. Few but would refuse a challenge, were it not for the disgrace with which such a refusal stamps the character. It has been often and truly said, that it requires more courage to refuse than to accept a challenge. It re quires much for a single man to do so; but for the husband and the father, whose prospects for life may be blasted, and his wife and children reduced to beggary and wretchedness, in consequence of his refusal, the trial must be one of bitter ness indeed. It is not, I repeat, in malice or revenge that the evil of the system lies. Nor need I insist upon the violation of the commandment, " Thou shalt not kill." No one will dispute, at least no man who ever saw his antagonist fall in a duel, but will remember the blow with which con science knocked at his heart in that moment of anguish, the distinctness with which for days and years afterwards he heard the still calm voice of God" whispering in the silence of his heart's wilderness, `-‘ Where is thy brother Abel ?" The evil lies deeper still. It consists in a total oblivion of that vital principle, of natural religion in the first instance, but far more emphatically so of Christianity —a principle which every man who fights a duel, challenger or challenged, consciously or unconsciously violates—a principle written in letters of light in the book of inspiration, in the following heart-stirring words, " Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price ; wherefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, WHICH ARE GOD'S." Life, then, is not a man's own property to peril at his pleasure, any more than it is his own to dismiss by suicide ; and, till this prin ciple be recognised, not az-involved in the mere question of duelling, but in its full uncompromising extent, a man can never be thoroughly depended upon in the full confidence of his proving, under alt circumstances and without mental reservation, loyal to his sovereign, faithful to his God, and true to his country This, my lords, is an age of recurrence to first principles, a period unexampled in the annals of the world. The shackles of ages are falling off, and the human intellect is rising up, unconscious of its - strength, and likely, in pure ig norance how to restrain and economise that strength, to rend asunder the bones, the muscles, the ligaments which are alike its prison, and the necessary instruments of its energy and activity; in other words, to burst through and destroy the whole framework of society. To preserve that frame work, to discipline that awakening strength, and to direct to those high and noble .purposes which from the elevation on which we now stand, we may see opening out before us in long vistas, as it were, of untrodden enterprise, in the map of God's providence, education must be resorted to ; not that spurious education which draws its theory and its practice alike from the dust it studiously looks down upon, whose wisdom is of the earth, earthy—but that which God intended when he distinguished man from the beasts that perish, by creating him with his face erect to heaven, in the image of his Maker. If society is to be preserved, it must be Chris tianised. Your lordships have acknowledged this great truth, by your exertions to preserve the Christian principle in edu cation. England owes you much for all you have done, for all you are still doing in this great cause. But it would be mockery to hold forth the decalogue with one hand, and with the other a charter of legitimation to that spurious offspring of human vice and folly which, involving as it does a direct transgression, not of one only, but of almost every law in the decalogue, virtually annuls it. And this charter your lord ships sign —the good that you have done your inconsistency may undo, if in the remotest degree you indirectly sanction the system in question. The expediency of enacting prohibitory laws against duel ling, such as exist in some foreign countries, must necessarily be left to the wisdom of the united houses to determine ; it would probably be decided in the negative. and perhaps justly so. But a far more efficient remedy is in your lordship's own hands, as the highest court of honour in the kingdom, the capital of the column of English nobility, the sun, as it were, whose lustre and the spots that obscure its disk are alike re- fleeted by that class of society in which the evil complained of has hitherto chiefly prevailed. Y our i n fl uence on the " public opinion" a this class is immense. Let your lord ships simply declare duelling to be disgraceful, and it becomes so. We, therefoi-e—for I speak but as one of a vast body who hold that Christianity and true conservatism are synonymous —we, who in these days of storm and tempest look to your lordships as the sheet-anchor on which the preservation of the state depends—we who, respecting your wisdom, and honouring your manly daring in the vindication and assertion of truth and duty, deeply believe, however, and know with unalterable conviction, that it is God's blessing, and I - lis only, which has hitherto maintained, or can hereafter maintain, you in your usefulness, and who watch over you therefore with the jealousy of love, lest in aught, through inadvertence, you come short of your high and holy vocation—we - call upon your lordships, therefore, in the name of God and man, as you would be consistent with yourselves, as you hope God's blessing to rest on your labours for your country's good, to accompany the verdict you pronounce on the solemn occa sion about to engage your attention with the fearless unqua lified expression of your united abhorrence of the unhallowed system of duelling I have the honour, &c LiELITZS THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT PRICES OF SHARES, FEBRUARY 15, Prices.

What is the month of the year in which Lord Broughath talks the least ? The answeris in " Joe Miller"—February. In "Joe," however, the question relates to the ladies ; but we shall make no mistake if we alter it to suit the case of as loquacious an old woman as ever wore a petticoat. In this short month what, then, islo happen ? In thefirst place, we hope that in a short time there will be made a short end of the ministry, and that Lord Melbourne and his friends will upon short commons. One of the party, at all events, viz., the Chancellor of the Exchequer, will stand as short in his accounts as Lord John Russell stands short in his shoes. If, as some people imagine, parliament will b e s h ort l y di sso l ve d , many whip members will find themselves short of seats ; and if Lord Stanley's bill be carried—and we are not short of the mark when we say it will—our friend Dan. will find himself very short of election coin. Sir Lytton Bulwer will attempt to make a long speech, but will be Cut short by the short coughing of the house; and Johnny Easthope will find it a very short corner to wheel out of the railways. Short Toni Macauley will write a long article for the " Edinburgh," which will be shortly after con signed to the forty-twa. Short Tommy Moore will finish his edition of Little's poems, and display a very short me mory in his short prefaces of some not very short services, in days when he was very short indeed. What short M. Thiers will do we are short to conjecture ; but we have no doubt that he would take office at the shortest notice. Short Bob Keeley will shine in short pikes, and .short—somebody else will cut a short figure in looking after long ones. In short, to make short of a somewhat long story, the shortest princes's in Christendom—not yet in her shorts—will, by a short ceremony, receive a rare long name. And may a certain short. yonfig lady, of whom that short princess is daughter, find her reign long and h er t rou bl es short, is our short and sincere prayer ; and that is the long and the short of it.--Aryus. LORD CARDIGAN.-It is said that Lord Cardigan, if found guilty of manslaughter, will plead his privilege as Lord War wick did, the old Lord Byron, and the Duchess of Kingston, when the two former were found guilty of killing their anta gonists in duels, and the duchess was convicted of bigamy. But it is also understood, that to avoid all risk of his privi lege not being allowed, his lordship has conveyed away all his property, to avoid the consequences of a forfeiture, which takes effect as to land from the commission of the crime, and as to personalty from the date of the commission.— Record. ilyipping Intelligente.

The stock being heavy, and the Soap trade upon the whole well supplied, the market is in a very languid state ; the sales during the week have been about 100 tons, nearly all at .4'33, although some retail lots brought £33 les to £34 ; no transactions have taken place for arrival.—ln Baltic Hemp and Flat no sales are reported„but prices are steady about 200 bales Sunn Hemp sold at .4'lB 10s, 200 bales Jute at ..el4, and 40 bales ilombayat £2l per ton.—TalloW. The very limited demand no ticed for some time past still continues, and although in the early part of the week some little advance was required, no actual im provement could be realised, and sales of Petersburg yellow Candle are again reported at 47s 6d to 48s; about 100 pipes of South Ame- I rican brought 41s to 44s per cwt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 12 The demand this week has been very limited, the business being confined to the immediate wants of the Trade, and the markat was heavy throughout. In prices, however, little change has oc curred ; middle qualities of American remain without alteration from last week's quotations, whilst the ordinary andbetter descrip tions have declined id per lb; Surat is also id lower, and Brazil barely supports previous rates. There were offered by auction to-day 2210 baies of Sugat, 930 of which found buyers at full previous rates for the good descriptions, but for the lower desrip. tions a further decline of id per lb was submitted to.

The arrival of three Packet Ships, bringing advices to 31st ult. confirming the accounts of short cro p, cause d a b etter demand , and the little excitement enabled holders to sell lots which hat; been refused all week; the total sales were 5000 bales-1200 of them to speculators. MONDAY EVSNINO.• Early this morning the Boston and Halifax mail-steamer arrived, bringing advices to the 3rd instant. The short crop accounts are more than confirmed ; the receipt of our higher prices in America caused a further advance, and though previous to the departure of the steamer, it had somewhat abated, yet their market is fully id ?lb higher than ours. These statements caused some excitement here, and a very good demand to the extent of 12,000 bales. We may remark that more than 10,000 have been bought by the trade, and this is more satisfactory, and fully one id advance on Friday's prices has been readily paid to-day.

Other kinds not mentioned. and rule at all prices from gas to I tas per tierce. For the best Pork, 73s per barrel is a fair quotation, and not much doing in the article.
