There was, in his opinion, very eight in the arguments that the contemplated measure ncourage slavery or the slave trade. At present this not manufactured goods to Brazil in large quantities, were paid for in sugar which was refined in Eng tcd to foreign countries.

It was to be recollected ,e existing treaty with Brazil, the highest duty iuld be placed on British goods was 15 per cent. ; ,ty would expire in 1844. It was supposed in Brazil could expire in 1842, and much irritation prevailed the prohibitory duties imposed by Great Britain on in produce, and unless some alteration in those pro y duties should be made, it was unlikely that the corn with that country should be continued on terms so fa ble to British manufactures.

C n E slaves. Sir LRK said he was astonished that any person of leman concluded by giving his entire, to the nrooositions of the the name of the right hon. gentleman should have said that it was quixotic and absurd to put a stop to slavery by dis couraging the produce of slave labour. No one would deny 'those principles of tree trade which might be considered as axioms in the abstract. No one would contend against the principle that we should not force our poor lands to produce what we might get cheaper from more genial climates. In the abstract there was no denying the principle, but then there were disturbing causes, such as the national debt and others, which so raised the value of money, that it was hopeless to enter into competition with foreign countries without adequate protection. He believed it would be ad mitted that, in respect to articles of food, it was desirable to render this country as far as passible, independent of foreign supply, but this could not be accomplished if the protection afforded by the corn laws were withdrawn. The right. hon. gentleman contended that this country in bring ing sugar from Brazil to be refined here, and re-exported, did not add to the evils of the slave trade, because Brazil was already in possession of the European markets, and what was thus brought did not supply the place of sugar the produce of free labour, which would be the case if it was admitted for consumption in the home market. The right hon. gentleman concluded by declaring his intention to op pose the proposition of government as calculated to disturb our commercial relations, without at all benefitting the con sumer, while it would be injurious to the West ladies, and would afford great encouragement to the slave trade. Mr. C. WOOD regretted that so little solicitude for the suffering people of this country had been displayed by those who supported the resolution of the noble lord, the member nopea that the landed for Liverpool (Lord Sandon). The hon. member for Not .de to abate all mono- tingham (Mr. Walter) had certainly called upon the house their to take into consideration the condition of the labouring classes ; but he had, notwithstanding, concluded by announ cing his intention to vote against a measure calculated to af ford them some relief. The hon. gentleman read some let ters, giving a most gloomy description of the state of our manufacturing population, and then said he was ready to ad mit that some of the protective interests might suffer from the government proposition, and that landlords might find in many instances that it had caused a diminution of their rentals ; but, for his own part, he was ready to forego a por tion of the protection he had hitherto enjoyed, in order to carry out a great financial and commercial measure, calcu lated to benefit all classes of society. The hon. gentleman then contended, that if the measure proposed by government was to be rejected by gentlemen on the other side of the house, they ought to give some hint of the measures which, in their opinion, ought to be adopted. The hon. member entered into a description of the various modes by which the financial difficulties of the country could be met, and having deprecated anything in the shape of direct taxation, as being oppressive to the industry of the country, and repudiated the principle of meeting a falling revenue by raising loans, con cluded by declaring his opinion that every view of the ques tion showed that the only true policy was to meet the de mands upon the country by promoting its trade and com merce, by an alteration of those regulations which gave mo nopolies to the few, to the injury of the many. Mr. GOULBURN contended that, under the circumstances attending the concession of emancipation to the negroes, it was impossible the house could agree to the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was evident, from the returns which had been read, that the supply of sugar calcu lated upon for the present year was many thousand tons greater than had been imported for a series of years, so that the right hon. gentlemen might safely rely upon an increased revenue from sugar, without passing his proposed measure, —that, in fact, the revenue would be this year largely in creased by simply leaving things alone. The arguments in support of the measure as one of commerce were es futile as were those which had been advanced in support of it in a fi nancial point of view. He admitted that dissatisfaction pre vailed in the Brazils against this country, but not on the ground of its protective duties, but because of its strenuous exertions to put down the slave trade ; but he could see no difference in principle between their doing so and offering an open encouragement to slavery by admitting slave -grown sttear. With respect to the admission of slave-grown cotton sneer they were about to open a new market to slave-grown sugar, which was not open to it before. This was an argument which could not be applied to the slave-grown cotton and tobacco im ported from America. The right hon. gentleman then ad verted to the boasts made by the whigs that they were the parties who had always advocated the interests of the slave, and who had passed the Act of Emancipation, and said that he was unwilling to deprive them of the credit which was due to them upon that account ; but he must, at the same time, remind the house, that at the Congress of Vienna, a conser vative negotiator, acting under the instructions of a conser vative Administration, had forced upon the powers of Europe a conviction of the propriety of recognising the principle of an abolition of the slave trade. Sir G. GREY said that the government had been, during the three nights' discussion which had taken place, most anxious to get at what was likely to be the policy of the hon, and right hon. gentleman on the other side of the house, but in vain until the right hon. gentleman at length informed them that their policy would be to leave things alone. This announcement would not be received, he believed, with very great favour by the commercial portion of the community. The right hon. gentleman intimated that the real opposition to this measure respecting sugar was, that it was regarded by the opposition in the same light that it was regarded by the hon. member for Lincoln, as the outwork defences of the corn-laws. He then adverted to the inconsistency of admit ting slave-grown cotton for theinterest of our manufactu rers, and excluding slave-grown sugar which would be so nseful to our manufacturers, and contended that in principle nothing could be so absurd as to advocate the propriety of maintaining that both propositions were reconcileable. The question was not as to the amount of duty proposed by the Government, but as to whether the/ would adopt a protect ive instead of a prohibitive system. The more the subject was discussed the better it would be understood by the peo ple, who would see the unwillingness of hon. gentlemen on the other side to grapple with the details of the question. Mr. GOULBURN, in explanation, said that his expression of leaving things alone applied only to the opinion that the revenue from sugar would be this year increased by doing nothing. After some observations from Mr. IRVINE the debate was adjourned until to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNESDAY. Mr. MUNTZ altered the form of his notice relative to the Earl of Cardigan, and gave notice that he would move an address to the crown, praying that an inquiry might be insti tuted into the conduct of the Earl of Cardigan, while in com mand of the 11th hussars. Mr. CHOLMONDELEY resumed the adjourned debate on the sugar duties, and argued that the proposed reductions would in noway benefit the consumer, for the saving, what ever it might be, would find its way into the pocket of the merchant. Lord HowicK said he entirely dissented from the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, as to the opinion that the admission of foreign sugar would tend to the encouragement of the slave trade. He could not admit that there was any reason to suppose that sugar, the produce of free labour, could not compete with that which was the result of slave labour,—on the contrary, he believed that free labour, if properly stimulated, was more than equal to a competition with slavery. Our sugar estates in the colonies had hitherto been conducted in the niost barbarous manner, being con ducted entirely by agents for proprietors resident in England. If a farm in England was to be similarly conducted by an agent for a proprietor resident- in Jamaica, the result, he believed, would be very much the same. If, however. those estates in the West Indies should be conducted by those im mediately interested in their success, who would also be inte rested in introducing an improved system of agriculture, he had no doubt but the free Jabout sugar would undersell th e slave grown sugar in the European markets. On the other hand, while a monopoly was given to our colonies, it was hopeless to expect anything like an improved system of agri culture. He was of opinion that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer might have gone still further, and proposed a reduc tion of duty on colonial sugar, trusting for an increased re venue to increased consumption ; but the propo sition as it stood would be attended with much advantage to the public, not so much by the decrease in •the price of sugar, as by the opening fresh fields for the industry of the country. The house would recollect that if the measures of the government were rejected, they must resort to fresh taxation, the result of which would be to convert a vast number of rate-payers into receivers of relief from those rates to which they now contributed. Mr. C. W. WYNN contended that the proposal of Mi nisters would be, if acceded to, a direct encouragement of the slave trade. He denied that the whigs had a right to assume to themselves the credit of carrying the Slave Eman cipation Act. That act was not fairly to be claimed by any party, for it was the result of the irresistible voice of the nation raised against the accursed traffic. Mr. W. EvANS advocated the measure proposed by go vernment, and expressed a hope that the country would not relax in its exertions to put down the slave trade, though he did not think that in order to do so they should impose very great additional burdens on the people, when the object might be otherwise attained. Lord WORSLEY opposed the measure proposed by the Government, and condemned the projected interference with the corn-laws. Sir A. GRANT insisted on the right of the West Indian proprietors to protection, more particularly when it was re collected that the £20,000,000 which had been given by par liament as compensation to the slave owners was scarcely a third of the value of the emancipated slaves. The proprie tors had as valid a property in their slaves as in their lands, and when their r i g ht o f p r operty was interfered with, the full value should have been paid. That had not, however, been done, an d i n a ddi t i on to the wrong th us i n fli c t e d, th e y were now to be deprived of the protection which they had hitherto enjoyed. Mr. J. O'CoNNELL supported the Government proposi tion, and said, that though an Irish member, he must de `dare that he could not see any benefit that the corn-laws conferred upon this counyy, He would, however, in cm. tnittee vote for the excluston of all foreign sugar, the produce of slave labour. Sir J. R. Rain said that a more reckless, injudicious, and inconsiderate Government than the present be had never heard of. He hoped the house would very quickly come to a decision, for since the proposition of Government, trade was almost necessarily at a stand. Mr. GISBORNE opposed the resolution of the noble lord the member for Liverpool, and contended that the fate of the corn-laws and of the present duties on sugar was sealed, inasmuch as these alterations had been proposed to the house by the ministers of the crown. This opinion was not his own, for he quoted it from a speech of Sir R. Peel's, who declared that no existing regulations could be maintained in their integrity after being once condemned by a minister of the crown, supported by the authority of the crown itself. Mr. S. HERBERT said that no one would dispute the theory of free trade, but there were circumstances of mode and time which should be taken into consideration in con nexion with it, for otherwise any counting-house would sup ply from amongst its clerks chancellors of the exchequer and statesmen quite as efficient as any which could be found in that house. Admitting the correctness of the doctrines of free trade, he, notwithstanding, contended not only that the mode of alteration proposed by the government was injudi cious, but that it also was imprudently timed. It was not just that, because hon. gentlemen on his side of the house en tertained this opinion with respect to the mode and time of the introduction of these measures, they should be therefore taunted with acting under hypocritical pretences. Mr. V. SMITH opposed the resolution of Lord Sandon, on the ground that it advanced a proposition not founded in fact. It assumed that the people of England had advanced the £20,000,000 for some purpose to be yet effected, instead of advancing it for a purpose already accomplished—that of abolishing slavery in our own dominions. The bargain was completed, and the West Indian colonies had no right to claim the continuation of a tax on the people of this country for the purpose of increasing their own prosperity, which, by every account, was already very great—indeed, far greater than before the passing of the emancipation act. They had the choice of relieving the distresses of our own population, with the chance of injuring the population of some other country ; and for his part, he thought they ought to confer a great and certain good upon our own labours when it was ex tremely doubtful whether by so doing we should inflict any injury whatever upon any other people. Lord STANLEY said he gave his cordial concurrence to the resolution proposed by Lord Sandon, and was decidedly op posed to the measures proposed by her Majesty's ministers. It was contended that these propositions were to be supported in accordance with the principles of free trade ; and it was asserted that on both sides of the house the principles of free trade were admitted. Now, as he understood, the principles of fret trade were these, that there should be no protective duties—that we should buy when we could, and any duties levied for the purposes of revenue should be as low as possible, and levied equally upon all, and that, if possible, no duties should be levied upon articles of general consumption. Those were the true principles of free trade; and he was happy to say that, in the present state of the country, no gentleman, on either side of the house, had been guilty of the absurdity of saying they should be adopted. The question, therefore, was not a question between mono poly and competition, for the discriminative duties, which the government still left unreduced, were still in principle a monopoly, and directly at variance with the doctrines of free trade. The noble lord denied that the propositions now brought forward were the same as those brought forward by Lord Althorp's government. The material difference was this, that when the alteration of the timber duties was no longer necessary for the purposes of revenue Lord Altborp proposed to make a larger reduction of the duties on Baltic timber without adding to those on Canadian produce. With respect to sugar it was an article which should be exempted from the ordinary rules of commercial policy, and in dealing with it prohibition should be the object and not pro tection. He then argued that as regarded the revenue there must be an increase to a large amount from sugar, not in consequence of the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but rather, notwithstanding that proposition, for the vast quantity which it was estimated would be imported from the colonies this year must, of necessity, increase the revenue without the aid of the introduction of any foreign sugar. Every one knew that the Emancipation Act would, at first, make sugar dear; and it was said by the hon. and learned member for Dubiin last year that the question was not to be considered upon any ground of price ; for if put fairly to the people of England, whether they would have sugar one penny, or more, per pound cheaper, the produce of free labour, he had no fear of the reply. Neither had he (Lord Stanley) any fear of the reply. That was the question now put to the people of England, and he had not a doubt as to the reply ; but he must express his astonishment that, after such a speech last year, upon a motion similar to the present, then brought forward by the hon. member for Wigan, and opposed by the government, the hon. and learned gentle man should now take the course of supporting the measure proposed be her Majesty's ministers, opposed as it was to his strongly-expressed opinions upon the subject. The noble lord then said that it would ill become him, who had been the person selected by the government of Earl Grey to bring forward the great measure of emanci pation, and who had called upon the West Indian pro prietors to make the sacrifice they had done—it would ill become him to assent to any proposition calculated to render that measure nugatory. He denied that the im portation of Brazilian sugar for the purpose of refining gave any encouragement to slavery, because, as the sugar was re exported, no new market was opened for its consumption. He did not mean to deny the financial and also the mercan tile difficulties of the country, but he thought our commercial affairs, though at present somewhat languid and desponding, had still sufficient elasticity to recover, for its present con dition was rather owing to the distracted state of American affairs, than to any want or failure of national resources at home. The noble lord concluded by condemning Ministers for throwing loose upon the country a crude and undigested scheme just at the moment when they were about losing office, as they had long lost power, when they must have known that they never could carry it into operation ; a scheme which caused, in the commercial world, a panic, which was only calmed by the subsequent conviction that it would never meet with the sanction of Parliament.: At the conclusion of the noble lord's speech, the debate was adjourned. PETITIONS FOR CHURCH EXTENSION. — We are glad to find that petitions are in course of signature in many parts of the neighbourhood in favour of a parliamentary grant for church extension. We surely need not urge the claims of our country, paramount as they seem to us, to be provided with public means of worship at the national expense. Need less, however, as such arguments may be to those who look with Christian feelings upon the wants of the country, we sorrow to say that our legislators have not the moral courage to act upon such principles ; and it is nothing but an inces sant demand that will ever convince the House of Commons they have anything to do with the spiritual interests of the people whom they represent. We entreat every parish to take its place in this effort, and to increase its exertions in proportion to the necessities of the case.—Doncaster Chro nicle. DEATH OF A CHILD BY FALLING INTO A CELLAR AREA. — An inquest was held, on Saturday last, before Mr. Chapman, the borough coroner, on the body of Mary Wain wright, an infant 14 months old, daughter of Mr. Wain wright, of Murray-street.—lt appeared from the evidence of Ann Davis, a neighbour, that about twelve o'clock the pre ceding Wednesday, the deceased, who could just walk, was standing near a cellar in Murray-street, when she slipped into the cellar, by which her head was so injured that she died on Friday.—The mother of the child stated, that the area was protected only by two horizontal bars of iron, and three upright ones ; that this was the sixth accident at the same place within the last four years ; and that four of them had been attended with fatal results.—The jury returned a verdict of accidental death : and, by their desire, the coro ner wrote to the owner of the property, informing him of the accident, and requiring him to put up a better protection to the area.—Manchester Guardian. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The anniversary meeting of this society was held on Monday at Exeter-hall, upon which occasion Mr. J. Emerson Tennent, M.P., took the chair. The meeting was crowded to excess, the fair sex forming the majority of the audience. Amongst those on the platform we noticed Sir George Murray, Sir G. Rose, Col. Conolly, Mr. Sergeant Jackson, Mr. Plumutre, Sir R. Bateson, Mr. C. Hindley. &c. The Rev. Dr. Bunting read the report, from which it appeared that the receipts of the society during the past year had amounted to £90,182 8s Bd, whilst the expenditure had been £109,225 15s 10d, thereby leaving, together with the debt before existing, a balance of £39,916 6s lld against the society. To meet that sum there was a set off of £12,332 19s 2d, due from various foreign stations to which temporary aid had been granted. Vume rous speeches were delivered, and a series of resolutions were passed in furtherance of the objects of the society. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY. — The sixth anniversarY meeting of this society was held on Tuesday, in the large room, Exeter Hall, Strand, London, and was very nume rously attended. The Right Hon. Lord Ashley, M.P. took the chair, and called upon the secretary to read the report. It appeared from that statement, that in consequence of the augmentation of the finances, and the extension of their operations, many churches, chapels, and schools had been erected. During the past year the society had made addi tional grants to 57 incumbents, having the care of 219,171 souls, and providing stipends for 48 clergymen and 12 lay assistants, at a charge to the society of £3947. Two grants of £125 had been made towards the building of school-rooms in places where the local resources were exhausted. The society's grants, up to the present date, were stated to be in aid of 277 incumbents, having an aggregate population of 1,991,375 souls, while the average amount of their incomes was only £163. Of these incumbents 139 were without par sonage houses. Previous to the aid of the society only 314 clergymen were engaged in the pastoral care of the above stated population ; at present 225 clergymen and 35 lay assistants are supported bythe society at a charge of £20,340 per annum. The income of the society had considerably increased during the past year, being £3489 9s. 7d. above the receipts of the preceding.

Several addresses were delivered and resolutions passed, after which thanks were voted to the noble lord in the chair, and the meeting broke up. • INTREPIDITY OF A POLICE CONSTABLE. — The magis trates sitting at the Town Hall, Croydon, last week, had to dispose of a charge against two notorious poachers, named Nicholson and Page, and a third man named Denham, of being in Sanderstead Park ,for an illegal purpose, and also with committing a violent assault upon Thomas Tappin, one of the police constables of the P division. It appeared from the evidence of Tappin, who had his head much cut in the affray, that while on duty, about halt-past two o'clock in the morning, at Sanderstead, he saw the defendants, and two other men, get over the hedge into Sanderstead Park, and, suspecting they were about committing some offence, he shortly afterwards followed them • on his going into the rookery he found that some i ron Chains had been fixed to one of the trees, and two of the men had ascended, and Page was about following them when the constable seized him by the leg and pulled him down, when a struggle took place be tween them, and, on Page calling on his comrades to assist him, they did so, and they all attacked the constable. The latter, however, being a very ppwerful man, would not re linquish his hold of Page, and he actually succeeded in getting the other two men down, and they all struggled to gether, as afterwards appeared by the state of the ground for a distance of 30 yards. and during the time the constable was kicked and struck on the face, and very much hurt. By this time an alarm had in some way been given, and a pri vate watchman, who sleeps at the residence of Mr. Hill, the tenant of Sanderstead Park, got up, and armed himself with a gun, and, accompanied by a blood-hound, proceeded to the spot, where he found the three prisoners and the constable struggling on the ground. The dog immediately seized one of the men, and dragged him off, and with the assistance of the private watchman the three prisoners were eventually secured, and placed in safe custody, but the other two trade their escape. Upon an examination being made the ground presented a very plain appearance of the desperate struggle that had taken place, and six young rooks were also found lying dead, so that the prisoners object was no doubt to plunder the rookery. The next day the prisoners were taken before Messrs. Sutherland and Currie at Croydon, when the above facts were deposed to ; and the constable, in addition, stated that he did not draw his staff in the affray, because he was afraid they might get it away from him and use it about f h e i nd s person. an t s The magistrates to theratesu House ltimate of Correction.lycommitted fortheTdnee three months time back underwent an imp risonment of 12 months for a prisoners are notorious ch aracters, and one of' them some violent assault upon a gamekeeper. It is said that the com missioners of police have dir ected a g ratuit y to he given to the constable Tappin for his intre p id conduct.—Morning Herald. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Nine o'clock —.,Ma.-- The transient ship Fairfield, which arrived here at an early hour this morning, has brought us papers from New York to the 18th instant, being three days later than those pre viously received. We are in momentary expectation of the arrival of intelligence by the Columbia, or Great Western ; but we prefer announcing the news by the Fairfield as early as possible, though we can discover in the papers before us very little which would interest the general reader. Much speculation is still indulged in as to the intended opera tions of the new President, Mr. Tyler. He is represented to have reiterated the -necessity of issuing a scire facias against the United States' Bank, and as intending to vote against the renewal of the charter, and distinctly intimating his opinion that he would vote against the incorporation of such an institution. A numerous and enthusiastic assembly of the citizens of New York took place on the 15th ult. to respond to and approve the sentiments declared by Mr. Tyler. Several resolutions, expressive of their confidence in him, were passed with acclamation. A tornado had " struck down" in Amite county, which is described to have been as ruinous to the timber as the great Natchez tornado, but no particulars had been received as to the damages done. The election for Mayor had terminated in the return of a Mr. Morris, by a majority of about 400 votes. Robinson the murderer had expiated his crimes on the gallows. The New York Journal of Commerce of the 17th, states that money was very abundant, and there was no demand for bills on Europe. We copy the following from the New Orleans Advertiser of April sth : _ _ _ • INVASION OF TEXAS By the Neptune from Galveston, we have news from the Republic to the Ist instant. The Mexican army of eight thousand men, and twenty pieces of artillery, were at Mier and Carnargo, about the 15th ult. They were cutting a road for their artillery through the bushy country to Laredo. This information was brought to San Antonio by Dr. Booker. Subsequently a trader ar rived at that place and confirmed this news ; adding, that the road was completed, and that, under pretence of falling upon the Cumanches, the army would direct its march to Austin, by a circuitous route to the north. Arista com manded. Canales was with him. Spies had been sent from Austin westward. • Since the first of the year, thirty vessels had arrived at Galveston, bringing into Texas five hundred and five white adults, fifteen children, and a hundred and nine slaves. We forget whether this is the fifty-first or fifty-second time that a Mexican army has been marched, by the Texas papers, for the invasion of a single-star republic. In two or three days we shall of course have a counter-report, right in the teeth of the one now given. NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.-APRIL 17 The sales of Cotton are about 1000 bales. Holders keep back, or ask a little advance, which deters buyers.—Sales, 3000 bushels North River Corn, at 53 cents per bushel ; Wheat not deliverable ; 1800 Jersey at 54 cents. The stock of Potashes is reduced to 50 barrels, and the price is six dols., from the scarcity. MOBILE COTTON MARKET.-APRIL 7 The receipts since this day week have been 5146 bales, and the exports for the same period 10,310 bales, viz. to Liverpool 10,019, Havana 28, Boston 237, and to New Orleans 36, leaving on hand, and on shipboard not cleared, a stock of 117,869 bales, to against 171,962 bales last season. — Yesterday there was no new feature in the Market, except further advanced pretensions of holders, which checked oper ations, the sales not reaching more than 800 or 1000 bales. The stock now on sale is reduced to about 10,000 bales, which of itself would be a bar to heavy operations. Liverpool classification—Good and fine, some fair 14 ; inferior and ordinary 10.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE ~—THis DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN Se SONS' Circular.) We have received scarcely any Irish produce worth naming since Tuesday last; and, excepting 1,260 qrs. Wheat, very little coastwise. From the continental ports of Europe, how ever, the arrivals contain a moderate supply of Wheat and Beans, with a few parcels of Oats ; and of Flour, 3,501 bar rels from New York, 400:bags from the East Indies, and 110 barrels from British America. The continuance of exceedingly fine weather, the promising appearance of the growing crops, and the suspense in which the trade is held, as to the'result of the proceedings upon the corn-laws, still conduce to render our millers and dealers so extremely inactive, that from the close of our first market this week, up to the present date, the transactions in any ar ticle here have been very unimportant. Although at our Corn Exchange this morning very few country millers appeared, holders of Wheat exhibited rather more firmness, and refusing to accede to any further decline, the current rates of Tuesday were maintained ; the business done, however, was confined to necessitous buyers only upon a very moderate scale for local consumption, and a few li mited purchases for shipment to Ireland. Good English and prime brands of duty-paid States Flour, being rather more saleable, remained steady in value ; and Irish, though little noticed, was held at late prices. In bonded Flour 750 barrels only are reported to have changed hands since Tuesday, and on the terms then noted. Grinding Barley, having moved off rather more freely than of late, fully supported our last quotations. Malt, Beans, and Peas, on the contrary, remained nearly whithout inquiry, and were the turn cheaper. Oats were taken off sparingly, but, owing to the limited supply at hand, fully maintained their previous value.—Oat meal, in the absence of country dealers, was neglected, and 275. per 2401b5. for the best marks of Irish scarcely obtain able.

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 8- Son.) During the past week the arrivals into this port of Wheat from Europe have been very large; of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, and Oats and Beans from Foreign Ports, and of American Flour, to a fair extent ; of all other articles they have been very small. During the week no further depression has been submitted to in the price of Wheat or Flour, although the demand has continued very moderate. A small decline has occurred in Oats and Oatmeal of id to ld per 451 b on the former, and 3d to 6d per 2401bs on the latter. For Barley, Beans, and Peas, the demand has been very small, but without alteration in price. No alteration occurred last Friday in the duties on any kind of Foreign Grain. The Ministerial proposition of materially reducing the duties on Foreign Grain has had no effect as yet on the value of those articles in bond. Some few parcels of American Flour in bond of good quality have found sales at 225 to 23s and of Dutch Oats at 3s 3d to 38 4d per 451 b. At this Day's Market, which was pretty well attended, sales of Wheat were made to a limited extent at about the prices of this day week for the finer qualities, but other descriptions suffered a decline of Id to 2d per 70Ib. Flour may be quoted 66 per brl. and 9d per sack, and Oats about Id per 451 b, and Oatmeal 6d per load cheaper. ' Other articles as last quoted. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott ,5- Son.)

Our Cotton Market is steady to-day, and w•e have bad a fair Tuesday's demand to the extent of 1500 bales, at yester day's prices. COTTON MARKET, MAY 13 On Tuesday we had scarcely demand sufficient to constitute a market; yesterday we had very little doing, and the total business was only estimated at isno bales. To-day we have rather a better demand, and 2500 bales have been sold at prices in favour of the buyer. Perhaps in the lower descriptions of American an id lower since Friday last. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 12. Our market this morning has been very dull for every description of Corn, but we hear of no alteration in prices since Monday. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET. MAY 12. Clipped Sheep and Lamb skins sold this day, until the 10th October next, at 2s to 2s 4d. Hides, under 60 lbs, 1 is; do, 60 to 75 lbs, 20 per lb ; do, 75 to 85 lbs, ?A per lb ; do, above, 3d per lb. Tallow, 45 9d per stone of 141bs. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 11 SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 12. There was a good supply of both Beasts and Sheep this week. The best Beef sold on the same terms as last week, but inferior, of which a large portiOn of the supply consisted, was rather lower. Prime wether Mutton was also much the same as last week—in in ferior no change. There was a large show of heavy Sheep (clipped.) Best Beef bid to lid ; inferior do, Gd to bid. Prime Mutton, 7id to 8d; heavy clipped, Gd to (Sid; small do, bid to 7d. • LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 13, - „ The demand for Butter is entirely confined to the retail purchases of shopkeepers, and we cannot quote the price of Waterford higher than loos. Both the Home and Irish make will he most abundant this season, and seriously reduced prices must be anticipated. Beef and Pork of good quality in steady demand. Middling and inferior descriptions may be purchased on easier terms. Bacon in fair request, at 50s to 53s per cent. as in quality. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 10 Our market this morning exhibited a scanty supply of beasts as to numbers, but its general quality was very superior. The at tendance of buyers being numerous, the Beef trade was brisk, at an improvement of the currencies noted on Monday last of from ad to 4d per Sibs, and a clearance was readily effected. There was a fair average number of Sheep on sale, whilst the inquiry for them was renovated, and the quotations were enhanced from 4d to 6d per sibs. From the Isle of Wight 242 Lambs were received fresh up in good condition ; wliilst.the inquiry for all descriptions was ready, at full prices. Calves were in fair supply and steady demand at the rates ; but in pigs a limited amount of business was passing. HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 11 The arrival of Wheat from abroad is considerable, all of which is entering for bond. There is no confidence in the Corn trade either with buyers or sellers, and it still continues in the same unsettled and uncertain state that I noticed in my report of last week. Prices of all descriptions of foreign Corn, particularly that under bond is nominal, and such must necessarily be the case until some thing definitive is known as to the proposal submitted by Lord John Russell to parliament. The scale of duties he would substitute in lieu of the present and fluctuating scale, being on Wheat, 85, on Rye, Beans and Peas, 55, on Barley, 4s 6d, and on Oats, as 4d per quarter. Rapeseed is held for advanced rates but the demand is limited; the quantity held here is, however, in few hands. Linseed is dull, and lower prices are submitted to when sales are made. Rape end Linseed cakes remain unaltered in value. June 3, W. Morrison, Fenchurch-street, London, stationer—June 3, T. Keasley and J. L. Beasley, Long-lane, Bermondsey,.London, tanners—June 3, R.
