That in this matter the council are concerned merely as a landed proprietor in the township of Birkenhead. The minutes of the committee contained a report from the surveyor, touching the improvement of Myrtle-street. The report set forth that the present width of Myrtle-street, from Mulberry-street to Crown-street, is 13 yards. The following estimate is calculated to extend it to 18 yards wide : From Hope-street to Mulberry-street arrangements have been made, and allowed by the Court of Chancery, for `ling back the houses to be built thereon three yards on from the present line of street; thus leaving the house to house 22 yards, and the street 16 from area to area. Should this part of the street be made 18 yards wide (the same width as Hardman-street is intended to be) it will be necessary to purchase from the executors of the late Mr. Thomas 420 square yards, esti mated, with the expense of flagging, &c. at £399. Should the street be continued of the same width from Mulberry street to Bedford-street, it will require the destruction of five houses, estimated to be worth £4032; deducting £BOO for the value of the materials, and adding £7O for paving, &c. £3307. The land between Grove-street and Laurel street is unbuilt, from which 300 yards would be required, valued, with the expense of flagging, &c. at £390. The remaining part of the land on the north side to Crown-street belongs to the Corporation, from which 730 yards would be required, which, with the flagging and making the street the additional width, is valued at £693. Total cost of the im provement in front of the unbuilt land, £1482. There would still remain a frontage of about 225 yards now built upon, lying about the centre of the street, exclusive of the houses, 60 yards in length, before referred to, between Mul berry-street and Bedford-street. There then would remain two parts of the street, about £285 yards in length, about 13 yards wide only, unless the very serious expense is to be incurred of purchasing the various buildings which would amount to from £B,OOO to £lO,OOO. Mr. EARLE moved, that it is to he regretted that Myrtle vet was not originally laid out of greater width, and that -ould be inexpedient to make any purchase of houses .c, but that the Finance Committee be directed to take such measures as they may deem advisable, to widen the street to the new line from Grove-street to Crown street, by the purchase of such lands as may be vacant. Mr. Earle contended that it would not cost more than £2BO to widen from Grove-street to Laurel-street, arid thus a good street might be made at light expense. The remainder of street could be widened at some future period. Mr. -t forth several reasons why he deemed the proposi it already buil tion expedient. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE seconded the motion, and ex -d his conviction that the measure was highly desirable, —hen so much could be effected at so small a cost. ~.otion was opposed by Messrs. Hugh Hornby, Bir- Shell, Thornhill, Parker, John Holmes, Case, and Sir Joshua Walmslev, and supported by Messrs. Henry Law rence, Barclay, and Cooper. The opinions generally ex pressed against the motion, were, that there were many other streets in the heart of the town which it was more necessary to widen than the street in question, which had but small claim to any such favour, and that the extent of improvement now asked for was but a commencement upon which to ground a farther claim. The supporters of the motion argued that the street was a great and increasing thoroughfare, and that it was expedient, as a matter of pru dent foresight, to widen it now, so as to avoid a much greater expense at some future period. The council divided, when there appeared for Alderman Earle's motion, 31, against it 18—Majority 13. Mr. BIRKETT wished to introduce a motion on the subject of the Inland Bonding Bill. The Mayor said it was out of order to introduce a motion on a subject which was not alluded to in the report of the Finance Committee, before report had been disposed of. Mr. Birkett persisted, lgain called to order. Mr. Birkett said he would then move that the present report be confirmed, and that it be an instruction to the Finance Committee to take the subject into consideration. It was understood that a report of the Town-clerk on the provisions of the bill would be brought forward. The Mayor again decided that Mr. Bir kett was out of order, but Mr. Birkett pressed his motion notwithstanding, and appealed to the Town-clerk. The Town-clerk thought, inasmuch as the Finance Committee • -iced the proceedings iu all bills, and had not mentioned Mr. Birkett might move an instruction on the ~ Mr. Henry Lawrence, Mr. Evans, Mr. Case, Mr. kikm, and Mr. Hugh Hornby differed from the Town-clerk, and appealed to the standing orders. Mr. Birkett perse vered, and a long debate ensued on the subject, several members expressing their opinion, that it was unprecedented to make an appeal from the chair to the law adviser on a joint of order, and Mr. Hornby showing that the council I was a lis, that subject had the power of altering and making their own rules for their guidance. The Town-clerk concurred, and ultimately Mr. Birkett gave way. ~~,{~; yor f_hp,ppon4;,Kopra. p, I iruilio, 1 0.

PATTEN proposed two clauses, one to confirm, in some particulars, the charter of Manchester, and the other to provide compensation for certain officers. Mr. M. PHILIPS thought the proposal an insult to the people of Manchester. In fact, they were now asked to buy off the opposition to the charter by giving some thousands of the money of the rate-payers to those who had so long per- sisted iu opposing it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. C. BuLLEn opposed the clauses, which were supported by Mr. CRESSWELL. After some discussion the first clause was withdrawn, and the committee divided upon the second clause, which was negatived by a majority of 128 to 73. Lord F. EGERTON moved a clause to exempt Bolton from the operation of the bill. After some discussion the committee divided, and the clause was negatived by a majority of 75 to 31.

COTTON MARKET, lklAy 5. A very moderate inquiry for Cotton-day, and not more than 2000 bales have been sold at previous prices, all to the trade. COTTON MARKET, MAY 6 The intelligence received by express from India, overland, is quite in accordance with previous expectation, viz. of a very un certain and vacillating character, and much calculated to increase the gloom and dulness pervading our market for all kinds of pro duce. In Cotton we continue as before with very little general de mand; to-day one house has purchased 1000 bales, one half for export, and the other on speculation, which with the daily supply of 2000 to the trade, makes a total of 3000 bales, at yesterday's prices, or a shade easier in favour of the buyer.

The adjourned council meeting was held at eleven o'clock yeAerday. for the despatch of the remaining portion of the business. The MAYOR presided. _ M r. BOOTH requested that, as the I.7oeic committee meL twelve o'clock, the proceedings of that body should be taken first, in order to enable the members to attend the meeting. members ot the committee were to re be a sufficient number of gentlemen left to form a council. The MAYOR also dissented from the proposition, and said he had frequently observed that members retired to lounge about BIRKENHEAD GAS AND WATER BILL Mr. MORECROFT, after some comments on the report on this subject, and arguing for the expediency of the corpora tion taking some steps for the frustrating the provisions of the new bill, proposed that it be au instruction to the Fi nance Committee to oppose it. Mr. ISAAC HOLMES seconded the motion. Mr. EVANS, alluding to the growing prosperity of the place, and to the greatness which it was probably destined to attain, said it was not proper to give a power in perpetuity to any body of men in such a community. Mr. HUGH HORNUY said, in the present state of their knowledge on the subject, they ought not to pass a resolu. tion decidedly for opposing it ; but it should be an instruc tion to the committee to watch it, and to join in opposition to it if expedient. He would therefore move that it be re ferred to the Finance Committee to take the subject of the Birkenhead Gas and Water Bill into immediate considera tion, and that they be authorised to join in any measures that might appear to them advisable for the protection of the interests of the corporation as a landowner in Birkenhead. Mr. JOHN SMITH seconded this motion. Mr. MORECROFT, after some discussion, withdrew his motion, and Mr. Hornby's motion was adopted. The proceedings of the Finance Committee were confirmed. CORPORATE PROPERTY AT BIRKENHEAD Mr. H. HOANBY said that there had been certain sums of money borrowed under the borough fund act, for the pay ment of the purchases made at Birkenhead, and that before those sums were obtainable it was necessary the following resolution should be adopted : " That the sum of two per centum per annum on £21,666 13s. 4d., and £2,933 (is. Bd., the amount of the principal money borrowed for the first and second purchases at Bir- kenhead, over and besides the interest of the money bor rowed, shall be set apart from and out of the borough fund of the borough, in order to form an accumulating fund for the payment of the principal money so borrowed, or of so much of the general bond debt of the borough as may be equal to, or may not exceed, the amount of the money so borrowed." _ _ This resolution having been duly seconded, was unani mously carried. • THE INLAND WA REHOUSEING BILL The Tows-cLXll;;ead the report of the inland warehous ing bill, which stated that inland towns were to be appointed warehousing places the same as ports, with certain exceptions. Mr. BIRKETT begged to move a resolution in connection with the bill. He would not go over the same arguments he had used on a late occasion, but merely content himself with saying that the present was merely the same kind of bill which had been introduced two or three years ago. He then moved the following resolution : . " That a special committee be now appointed, to oppose this bill by all means in their power ; and that the mayor be authorised to affix the seal to any petition to parliament that the committee may deem necessary. Mr. GLADSTONE seconded the resolution. Mr. EVANS said the present question had been already settled, and that the council could not consistently interfere with it again. They had committed themselves to absolute neutrality on it, and be could not see how they could recede from that position with any consistency.

Mr. EitaxErr replied in a speech of considerable anima tion, in the course of which he called upon the council to stand up firmly and determinedly in favour of the town. A division was come to, when the re appeared— .... 24 . YATES, For the motion Against it Majority in favour of the motion ...... The motion was accordingly declared to have been carried, inid loud cheers from the conservatives. inconvenience in transacting business. Mr. ROBINSON suggested, that when the members of the council were detained all day, as they had been yesterday, lunch should be served to them. (Laughter.) Mr. CASE requested the Mayor to proceed to business. The present discussion was a waste of time. Mr. EvAss said, the council had gone out of its way to fix the adjourned meeting on the (lay which the Dock Com mittee were obliged to meet, and now the council refused the trifling concession of reading the proceedings first, in order to enable the members to perform a duty which was of equal importance with that of the council. Mr. PLATT thought the request very reasonable. Mr. H. HORNBY again stated his objections to the propo sition, and said that the Dock Committee, instead of being of equal importance with the council, were only a commitee of the council. The conversation then dropped. MARKETS COMMITTEE. Mr. RADCLIFFE, JUn., read the proceedings of this com mittee, and their adoption was moved. The TOWN-CLERK read his report upon the case of Thomas Levins, whose case had been previously noticed. Levins had a stall in St. James' Market, that he went to the United States for some time, and that in his absence, the committee re-let the stall. Levins unexpectedly returned and claimed the stall, which being refused, he attempted to take forcible possession of it. He was taken before Mr. Rushton, who decided that as he had paid his rent in advance, and the pe riod of his tenancy had not expired when he claimed the stall, he was justified in endeavouring to re-gain it, but that he had done wrong in attempting to take it by force. The Town-clerk was instructed by the committee to report upon the whole case; he took the evidence of all the parties, and reported his opinion to be that the possession of the new tenant of the stall must be supported. Mr. COOPER presented a memorial from the butchers in the market in favour of Levins, which was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HAnnonn moved, as an amendment, that Levins be replaced in his stall, or one equal thereto, and that he be re paid the rent he had paid. Mr. COOPER seconded the motion. Mr. EVANS opposed it, and said the man might have his rent back, so that there was no occasion for the proposition. He would not have made such a noise about it if he had not expected it to become a party business. In fact he had ab sconded, and had lost all claim upon the committee. Mr. ROBINSON said he could not reconcile the treatment of Levins by the Markets' Committee with his sense of jus tice. Mr. JOHN SMITH regarded the motion as a direct attack upon the Markets' Committee and the Sub-committee which had the control of St. James's Market. Mr. Smith entered into all the facts, contended upon them that Loins had no reason to complain. Mr. IsAAc HOLMES, in supporting the motion, said, in reply to Mr. Evans, that the markets under the present ma nagement cost more than under the old system. . Mr. CASE said, that Levins had broken the conditions under which he had taken the stall, and therefore he had no claim upon the council. Mr. THORNHILL and Mr. M`KEE defended the proceed ings of the Markets' Committee. Mr. GLADSTONE said, if the conditions upon which the stall was let to Levins were made known to him, he had no case. Mr. 11. HOLMES said they were. Mr. SHELL said it was the duty of the council to attend to such complaints as these, but he should oppose the motion. Mr. KILSHAW opposed it. The TOWN-CLERK said the stall was taken originally under the old bye-laws of 1831. Mr. PARKER and Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY supported the Markets' Committee. The question was then put, when there appeared, For the Amendment. .. Against it . The amendment was, consequently, lost. Mr. BIRKETT then moved another amendment, to the effect that Levin's case be referred back to the committee. Mr. HARBORD seconded the amendment. Mr. MELLOR said he should resist the amendment, for the matter was really one of the most frivolous ever brought be : fore the council. • Some further discussion followed, and the matter ended in the amendment being withdrawn. TOWN-HALL ESTABLISHMENT COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read and con- firmed EDUCATION COMMITTEE The proceedings of this committee were_next read Mr. 'PARKER said he had been informed riotous meetings were held in the North School every Saturday night, by con certs taking place there. He wished to know whether these concerts were sanctioned by the committee, as the people in the neighbourhood complained of them. Sir J. WALMSLEY said the concerts had been conducted very well, and formed no reasonable ground of complaint to the inhabitants. Mr. Parker must have been misinformed. The MAYOR said he had received no complaints upon the subject. It would be better for gentlemen to apply for in formation to the committee instead of asking questions publicly. Sir J. WALMSLEY said the matter brought forward by Mr. Parker was a mere clap-trap. Mr. •ISAAC HoLmEs objected to the salary of Miss Robin son and Miss Webster's salary being reduced £lO per an- num. The MAYOR said this matter could not now be brought under discussion, as it related to salaries. It would come before the next meeting, when the discussion might be taken. The proceedings were then confirmed, with the exception of the part relating to the reductions. COURT ON REQUESTS COMMITTEE. .• A` Mr. EVANS moved the confirmation of the proceedings of this committee, comprising . the increase of several salaries agreed to at a former meeting. The proposed increase of Mr. Harris' salary from £BO to £lOO, was postponed till the next meeting.—Motion passed. The proceedings of the Gardens' Committee, and those of the Church Expenditure Committee were read and con firmed. LAW COURTS COMMITTEE. A. very interesting report, and a number of plans and ele vations were submitted, in the proceedings of this commit tee, from Mr. Elmes. The report stated that the entire cost of the united buildings of the law courts and St. George's Hall would be £92,000. Mr. HORNBY moved the confirmation of the proceedings, and suggested that a special meeting of the council be called to decide upon the plans. Sir J. WALMSLEY seconded the motion. Mr. EARLE hoped the special meeting would be an early one. Time was rapidly advancing, and indeed he thought it was expedient for a decision to be taken to-day. The MAYOR said there were several bills in parliament which would require a special meeting to be held next Wed nesday, and the decision should be taken then. Sir J. WALMSLEY suggested that the plans should be ex hibited for the purpose of the opinions of the public being taken upon them. Mr. H. HORNBY and Mr. EARLE opposed this suggestion being adopted till after the special meeting. The proceedings were then confirmed, the final decision to be taken at a special meeting on Wednesday next, and the Finance Committee were requested to report upon the financial considerations, rendered necessary by the junction of the two buildings. The Dock Committee proceedings were then read and con firmed. THE MAYOR'S COMMUNICATIONS. Several communications addressed to the Mayor were then read and referred. Mr. PLATT presented a memorial from 800 inhabitants of Toxteth-park, praying for the establishment of a slip . at that end of the town, to enable them to have communications with Cheshire without the necessity of going to George's pier. Mr. BENN, Mr. BOOTH, and Mr. SANDS said the Dock Committee were now erecting a siip in that neighbourhood. Mr. PLATT said he was very happy to hear it. The memorial was then referred to the Dock Committee. GAOL COMMITTEE This committee reWrted&tiijeilQ recommended Mr. John Robert Miles to the council for their appointment to the office of schoolmaster of the borough prison. Mr. BIItKETT asked whether Mr. Miles was a member of the Church of England. The MAYOR said that question had not been asked, but his testimonials were very superior. Mr. BOOTH believed he was a member of the Church of Scotland. Mr. BIBICETT moved that the appointment be postponed till it had been ascertained whether Mr. Miles was a member of the establishment. 'Mr. PARKER said he should second the motion. The municipal corporation act was based upon Protestantism, and be hoped before Mr. Miles was confirmed in the appoint ment his principles would be ascertained. Mr. H. HoENBY said if this motion were adopted it would be introducing a principle which would be very inconvenient, and which was not acted upon in the legislature. It had always been understood among the magistrates that the sub ject of religious professions should not be mentioned. The TOWN-CLERK said, in this case there was no act im posing a disability on any one holding this office. Mr. HooosoN expressed his entire dissent from appoint ing a man whose religious creed was not in accordance with that of the clergyman under whom he was placed. Sir J. WALUSLEY said, on the appointment of a former schoolmaster, who was not a member of the Church of Eng land, Mr. Hodgson was present, and he did not object to it. fifiti.itWil4 g held y Chant]: duce what religious books he thought proper, and that they were not exclusively those used in the corporation schools. No books whatever could be introduced in the gaol schools without the sanction of the chaplain, and the chapl►in had expressed himself satisfied with the controul he had over the schools. Mr. PARKER said it was only on Tuesday last that the chaplain had shown him some excellent books, which were very proper certainly ; but he said he did not know whether he had the sanction of the magistrates. Mr. HORNDY expressed his intention to oppose the mo tion. The ignorance of the chaplain, as to the extent of his duties, arose from his very recent appointment. Mr. HODGSON asked whether the controul of the books had not been given to the chaplain since the notice of this motion had been given ? The MAYOR entered into some explanations, from which it appeared that this had not been the case. After some further discussion, the motion was withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. Joitx SMITH, seconded by Mr. H. HOLMES, Mr Parker was appointed a member of the pilots' committee, in the room of the late Mr. Leatham. Mr. Kilshaw was appointed a member of the watch com mittee, and Mr. Jordan a member of the Park committee, in the place of the late Mr. Coglan. The council then adjourned (at three o'clock) till Wed nesday next. *mptrial • HOUSE OF LORDS—MONDAY. THE CORN-LAWS. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM presented 100 petitions against any alteration in the corn-laws. The petitions were chiefly from places in the county of Buckingham, Suffolk, Derby, and Southampton. The noble duke called attention to a speech on the corn-laws delivered on a former occasion by the noble viscount at the head of the government, in which the noble viscount said that any agitation or discussion on the corn-laws wouid inevitably lead to commotions danger! ous to the peace of the community; he (the Duke of Buck ingham) sincerely trusted the noble viscount would remem ber the words he had used on former occasions, denouncing all agitation on the subject of the corn-laws, and that he and his colleagues would guard against any such agitation. Viscount MELBOURNE said, having been so pointedly al luded to, he could not let the present opportunity pass with out observing, that the speech quoted and others made by him were never intended to convey the idea that the corn laws were never to be interfered with. He had, however, changed the opinion he had formerly held, that opinion being entirely based and grounded upon particular and temporary circumstances. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of RIPON said, he heard the observations of the noble viscount with deep regret. (Hear.) He did not know what the country would think of his noble friend (Melbourne) this, however, he knew, that his noble friend would never be able to carry on the government of the country. (Hear.) He should like to know upon what ground the measure was to be introduced ? Was it under a protecting duty, or by t axa tion—taxing corn for revenue? (Hear , hear.). If so, the noble viscount would do what no other country in the world would do, and it would be the most disagreeable mea sure that ever was forced upon a reluctant parliament' (Hear.) Viscount MELBOURNE rose and said, with emphasis, that the principle of the measure would be one of protection. — (Immense cheering.) The Earl of WINCHILSEA denounced any interference with the present system as imminently dangerous to the peace of the country. He called upon the noble viscount, in God's name, not to adopt any measure likely to lead to a tax upon bread. (Hear, hear.) The people of this country knew their interests—they knew that cheap bread meant low wages. (Hear, hear.) To pursue such a course would be the downfal of the noble viscount's government, which, in deed, would be a blessing to the country. (Cheering.) The conversation theridropped. Lord DUNFERMLINE presented a petition from the seven clergymen of Strathbogie, who had been suspended, pray ing that the indictment against them might be laid before their lordships. A discussion of some length respecting the difference between the legal and ecclesiastical courts of Scot- land ensued. The Earl of GLENGALL then drew the attention of their lordships to the case of the falsification of the returns from the Clonmel union, and moved a resolution to the effect that Mr. Stanley, in making those returns, had been guilty of a gross contempt of the authority of the house. The Earl of WICKLOW thought the resolution was stronger than the justice of the case required. Mr. Stanley could hardly have been guilty of contempt, for, in his opinion, he had been actuated by no improper motive whatever. Even if he was culpable, he was, certainly, not the person most culpable, for he was only the secretary to the board. He was of opinion that Government was not warranted in dis missing Mr. Stanley from his situation, or rather in accept ing his resignation, until the decision of the House of Lords was heard upon the subject. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said Mr. Stanley was selected, be cause he was the only person against whom the house could proceed. The Marquis of NORM ANBY said that no one could deny that the falsification of the returns was a contempt of the house, although it was clear that the only motive which in fluenced Mr. Stanley was that of concealing, a defalcation of duty. The Duke of WELLINGTON was of opinion that the house must agree to the resolution, though the poor law commis sioners were the really culpable parties, for they should have prevented such an occurrence. The case should be probed to the bottom, for in several other cases there had been cor ruption, as well as in this. After some observations from the Marquis of NOIIMANDY and the Marquis of WESTMEATII, the resolution was agreed to The Earl of GLENGALL then moved that Mr. Stanley be ordered to attend at the bar of the house on Friday, the 14th of May. The Marquis of NORMANBY thought the dignity of the house had been sufficiently consulted in the resignation of Mr. Stanley, and hoped that in his present state of health he would not be called upon to attend at the bar. Lord ELLENBOROUGH suggested that it would answer the purpose if it was entered upon the journals that, owing to Mr. Stanley's state of health, their lordships would not press his attendance at the bar. This suggestion was acceded to, and the Earl of GLEN GALL accordingly withdrew his motion. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY A new writ was moved for the borough of Sandwich, in the room oldie late Major-General Sir R. Doukin. THE MII,,TISTRY .• Colonel SIBTHORP (as it was understood) asked the Colo nial Secretary if it was the intention of her Majesty's ministers to resign their places ?—(" hear, hear," and laughter)—and if not, whether it was the intention of the noble lord to pro ceed with the civil contingencies this evening? (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RussELL.—With respect to the first question of the gallant colonel, I shall decline to give any answer. (Loud cries of " hear, hear," and laughter.) With respect to the second, he wished to say that he did not intend to proceed with the civil contingencies this evening. (Hear, bear.) IRISH REGISTRATION BILL In answer to a question by Mr. S. O'BRIEN, Lord STANLEY said, it was not his intention to proceed with his Irish Registration Bill on Wednesday next ; he should postpone it for a fortnight ; and he could assure the house that every member should be apprized in due time of the day on which it would again be brought forward. (Hear.) THE CORN-LAWS In answer to a question by Mr. Cartwright, Lord J. Ru SSE LI, said, on Friday next,,he should be pre pared to state the amount of fixed duty he intended to pro pose on the importation of foreign corn. (Hear, hear.) SUGAR DUTIES Lord SANDON gave notice that on Friday next on the mo tion for going into committee of supply, he should submit a resolution on the proposition of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer relating to the sugar dutics—(hear, hear), and he should certainly so frame it as to take the sense of the house on the subject. (Hear.) Sir R. INGLIS trusted the noble lord would introduce words into his resolution calling upon the house to declare that it was not advisable to allow the importation into this country of sugar the produce of slave labour. (Hear.) PUNISHMENT OF DEATH DILI The house then went into committee on the punishment of death bill. Mr. Bernal in the chair. The second clause was opposed by Lord J. Russell, Lord Dungannon, and Sir R. Inglis; and supported by Mr. Hume, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd •, and on a division it was defeated by a majority of 122' to 110. On the proposal of the fourth clause, abolishing the punish ment of death in cases of violation, Sir C. DOUGLAS moved an amendment, making exceptions in 'certain cases. The amendment was withdrawn after some discussion, and the clause itself was negatived by a majority of 123 to 61 ; Sir R. Peel declaring , that in cases of murder, attempts to mur der, ail(' violation, he could n ot consent to abolish capital punishments. which proposed to abolish the punish- Thent of me death clause, me cases of attempts to murder, led to some t in discussion, to7s. but was ultimately ne g atived by a majority of 83 The sixth clause was also negatived by a majority of 100 to 73. Mr. KELLY said that he could not press his bill further that evening, opposed as he was by the government, n or would he press it further that session if the noble lord (J. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that, to-morrow week, (Thursday next) he would move that the house address the Crown, praying for the removal of the Earl of Cardigan from the command of the 11th hussars. Sir G. CLERK said he had been requested by his noble friend, Lord Sandon, to state that the following would be the form of the resolution it was his intention to move on Friday, with respect to the sugar duties :—" Resolved that, consider ing the efforts and sacrifices which parliament and the coun try had made for the abolition of the slave trade, and of sla very, with the earnest hope that, by our exertions and exam ple, we might be able to lead to a mitigation and final ex tinction of this evil in other countries, this house is not pre pared, especially with the prospect of the supply of sugar from the British possessions, to adopt the measure proposed. by her Majesty's government, for the reduction of the duty on foreign sugar." Lord J. RUSSELL said, in the event of the noble lord pro posing the resolution of which notice had been just given, he would move, as an amendment, " That it is the opinion of this house that it is practicable to supply the present inade quacy of the revenue and to meet the expenses of the coun try by a judicious alteration of the protective and differential duties, without any material increase of the public burdens, and at the same time to promote the interests of trade, and to afford relief to the industrious classes ; and that this house considers such a course as the best calculated to provide for the maintenance of the public faith and the general welfare' of the country." Sir R. INGLIS gave notice, that on Tuesday, the 18th, he would call the attention of the house to the question of church extension. The house then resolved itself into committee on the County Coroners Bill. On the third clause, Mr. WAKLEY moved an amendment, with a view to protect the vested interests of existing coroners. A discussion of some length ensued, which was terminated by Sir R. PEEL, who suggested that Mr. Wakley's object might be attained by giving coroners a power to appeal to the privy council. The suggestion was adopted, and the clause was negatived, on the understanding that it might be introduced at a subsequent stage of the bill, in an amended form. Mr. HuME moved an amendment to the sixth clause, with a view to give the right of voting for coroners to rate-payers. Mr. F. MA ULE supported the amendment. At present coroners were elected nominally by freeholders, but in reality by universal suffrage, for every one was allowed to vote who chose to represent himself as a freeholder. Mr. JERVIS moved an amendment, to the effect that the old franchise should be retained, which amendment was car ried by a majority of 78 to 30. Mr. JERVIS moved another amendment, the effect of which would be to confine the right of voting to resident freeholders. The amendment was carried by a majority of 75 to 27. Mr. T. EGF.RTON then moved that the clause be omitted from this bill ; but his ►notion was negatived by a majority of 73 to 48, and the clause was ordered to stand part of the bill. A clause, giving power to coroners to appoint deputies was rejected by a majority of 61 to 58. A clause was agreed to, increasing the travelling _allow unces to coroners from Od to Is 6d per mile—to be paid for one way oily. Mr. F. M Aums moved that no mileage should be allowed for any distance within two miles of the coroner's usual place of residence. After some discussion it was agreed that only 9d per mile should be allowed for the first two miles. The remaining clauses being disposed of, the house re sumed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—MONDAY. THE QUEEN V. WALDEGRAVE AND ANOTHER. This case having been called on, the noble prisoner and his companion, Captain Duff, stood up. on the floor of the court, when the proper officer proceeded to read the indict- ment, and afterwards a number of affidavits in aggravation. The facts of the case are already too familiar to the public to require to be repeated here. Mr. Justice Pattison delivered judgment, who, after dwell ing at considerable length on the enormity of the offence committed, said that the Court, having taken into considera tion all the circumstances of the case, the sentence was that each of the defendants be confined in the custody of the Mar shal of the Queen's Bench prison for the space of six calen dar months; that Lord Waldegrave pay a line of £2OO, and Mr. Duff, £2O. The defendants were then removed in cus tody of the officers of the Court. . . .EARLY Naw - 7 - . HAY.A field of meadow grass in the ripest and hest possible condition has this week been cut by Wil liam Nicholson, Esq., of Ingo! Lodge, near this town. The excellent quality of the land, and the early time at which the first crop has been cut, will enable Mr. N. to have at least a second, or perhaps a third cutting from the same field. — Preston Pilot. DRESS FOR THE QUEEN.—A dress is making in Bethnal green for the Queen to wear at the ball, in May, for the en couragement of the British silk-manufacture. The pattern is a rich white satin ground splendidly brocaded with gold, the brocade representing the oak-leaf with sprigs of the leaf interspersed, and the acorn attached. It will be a most costly piece of workmanship, as there is a large quantity of gold woven in the satin, which measures thirty yards. The ma chinery on which it is formed is upon a new principle, and it takes a whole day to make three-quarters of a yard. The same pattern will be generally adopted by the lady patron esses of the ball ; only, that the gold is reserved for the leaves on the royal dress alone. The weavers announce a new in vention, which is to produce portraits of the Duke of Wel lington and the Queen Dowager, in black and white silk, so admirably done as to be scarcely distinguishable from a painting. - • SUPPOSED MURDER AT GRAYS.—The town of Grays bas been in a state of considerable excitement for some days past, from the discovery of a skeleton, supposed to be that of a man who disappeared, about 11 years since, under very mys terious circumstances. It appears that the individual in question was employed at the Grays Chalk Pits , and, after being paid his week's wages, left a public-house, called the " Sailor's Return," in company with another man (who is understood to be at the present moment an inmate of Saffron Walden workhouse), and was never seen or heard of after wards. The remains alluded to were found in the direction this persOUWould take in going to his own home, and' there is an appearance of a contusion on the skull. A few metal buttons and a shoe are the only remains of his wearing appa rel. The body was found by the river side, about three feet below the surface, in digging for a new wharf. It has created some astonishment in the neighbourhood, that so many days should have been suffered to elapse without an inquest. We trust there is no truth in the report that the parish authori ties have declined summoning one, upon the ground of ex pense.—Essex Standard. ATTEMPT TO POISON.—A most diabolical attempt to poi son was detected at Grittleton House, the seat of Joseph Neeld, Esq., M. P., a few days since. It appears that some wine had been decanted at lunch, a very small portion of which had been partaken of by Mr. Neeld, his brother, and another gentleman. The remainder of the wine was intro duced at the dinner table ; but it had undergone such an alteration in its appearance and taste, that suspicions were at once excited. It was analysed, and found to contain a large quantity of deadly poison, which must have been mixed between,the time of lunch and dinner. The circumstance, as might be expected, has occasioned considerable conster nation in the neighbourhood, and a Bow-street officer was immediately sent for. We are not aware that any one in particular is suspected ; and whose life was intended thus to have been sacrificed it is difficult to say. No servants can be more devoted to a master than the servants at Grittleton House to Mr. Neeld ; and surely n o master deserves more the respect and esteem of his dependents.—Devizes Gazette. LAUNCH OF THE ROYAL WEST INDIAN STEAM NAVI GATION COMPANY'S STEAM FRIGATE TWEED.—On Sa turday, the Tweed, steam-frigate, of 1828 tons new measure ment, was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Thomson and Spiers, ship-builders, Greenock. This being the second vessel of the West Indian line of steam packets built at Greenock. a considerable deal of interest was excited as to the successful issue of the launch. At one o'clock thousands of all ranks and classes, and a number of ladies of the higher circles, were moving towards the scene, and at half-past one every situation that could command a view of the launch was crowded to excess. About this time a heavy shower of rain fell, and the wind, which blew fresh all fore noon, now quickened up into a perfect gale, and made it ra ther dubious whether the launch would take place or be de ferred for a time. The ga l e having abated, and the vessel hardened up at ten minutes pasttwo o'clock, it became appa rent that no time was to be lost, as she gave symptoms of being determined to go off herself. In five minutes more, while the men were clearing everything, the dagger snapped, and away went the Tweed in beautiful style, into her destined element, amid the cheers of thousands and the booming of cannon. It now becomes our painful duty to state, that in the hurry, one of the shores a t the stem had got fastened b y a rope to a timber of the vessel, and was carri e d a l ong and we are sorry to say, that through a crowd of the people ; five men and a boy were dangerously wounded and bt uised, and had to be carried home on boards and in noddies. The boy has since died, and fears are entertained that one or two of the remainder will not recover. The Tweed was taken in tow by two powerful tug steamers, but she was too many for them, and drifted down on a schooner, being at the tail of the bank, and did considerable damage to the vessel. Another powerful steamer had to go to Cherescue, and b seven o'clock she was safely moored alongside of the East y Indian quay, where she is to get in her machinery.—Glaspow Courier.

During the week a limited demand has existed for Wheat, at a decline of Id, in some instances 211 per 70Ibs. For American Flour the demand has been very trivial, at 35s to 35s 6d per. barrel, and for Halifax at 33s 6d to ass. For Oats and Oatmeal the prices have been fully supported, and for all other articles no alteration can be noted. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports was, last Friday, increased to 23s lid per quarter, on Flour to Iss 21t1 per barrel, and on Peas to 12s 6d per quarter: no other alteration. During the week pre viously to the rise in the duty, about 9000 barrels of Flour, chiefly from the New Orleans, and about 2,1,040 quarters of Wheat were released from bond.

HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 4 The duty of 22s 8d was paid in this port on 10882 qrs. Wheat, leaving in bond and afloat from 20 to 25,000 qrs; present arrivals are all entering for bond. The Corn trade during the week has continued limited and dull, which has been considerably added to by the unexpected announcement front ministers that they intend Proposing. for consideration an alteration of the present law, by substituting a moderate fixed duty ; this startling proposition has thrown the trade here into such a state of confusion that sellers and buyers are equally at a loss how to proceed, anti this uncertainty will continue to embarrass the trade until something more positive is known of the government measure. Ido not alter the value of any kind of grain, bond or free, but consider for the moment the price almost nominal. Rapeseed is more inquired for ; importers being unwilling to submit to present prices, are landing as it arrives. Linseed without alteration in price.
