If the incident were striking to have met the crucifix in the great Christian tem ple of modern Rome, it was not less so to see the modern instrument of capital punishment (so associated with revolu tionary horrors in our times) alight, as it were, from the clouds, like an obscene vulture, amidst the ruins of Rome, anti over the Cloaca Maxima of the Tarquins.

THE COLLIER AND THE CIRCUM:sTAVIGATOR.—When Commodore Anson, after circumnavigating the globe, arrived at Hull, he was cheated by a collier; and, being twitted upon his simplicity, he good-humouredly replied, " Although I have been twice round the world, the collier has been into the world, and so had the advantage of me."

PROTECTION.—To protect men is to forward, and not to restrain, their improvement. Else, what is more than to avow to them, and to the world, that you guard them from others only to make them a prey to yourself ? This funda mental nature of protection does not belong to free but to all governments ; and is as valid in Turkey as in Great Britain. No government ought to own that it exists for the purpose of checking the prosperity of its people, or that there is such a principle included in its policy.—Burke. ANECDOTE OF THE LATE DUKE OF CLEVELAND.—The 1 nn tho di,h9nrlincr of tha militia in 1816, had three gentlemen dining with him. In the course of conversation his grace mentioned that he had bought an entire lottery-ticket,, and declared his intention, should it prove a prize, of dividing it amongst the party assembled. The day of drawing at length arrived, and to his grace's utter astonishment, the identical ticket proved to be a prize of 020,000. We need scarcely add that the Duke faithfully performed his promise to his fortunate guests, who were s-in-law,—Francis Forester.

Every master and mistress in the United Kingdom knows what a maid-servant's friend is. Sometimes he is a brother, some times he is a cousin (often a cousin), and sometimes a father, who really wears well, and carries his age amazingly ! He comes down the area—in at the window—or through a door left ajar. Sometimes a maid-servant, like a hare, " has many friends." The master of the house, after washing his hands in the back kitchen, feels behind the door for a ja ck towel, and lays hold of a " friend's " nose. " Friends ' are shy ; sometimes a footman breaks a " friend's " shins by plunging into the coal-cellar for a shovel of nobbies. We speak feelingly, our own abode having been once turned into a friend's meeting-house—a fact we became aware of through a smoky chimney ; but a chimney will smoke when there is a journeyman baker up it.—London paper.

Of the nineteen con ventsseven are in the city, containing one hundred and and novices—but three convents are thirty-four spoken of, monks left, and as their rents are taken away, most of the monks and all the novices will secularise. It is rather a bold stroke thus to revolutionise , the institutions which are coeval with the settlement of this island by the Spaniards; but we live in an age of bold measures, and there is no knowing what a day may bring forth.

At the opening of our market to-day the holders of Wheat evinced rather more firmness, and somewhat higher prices were required ; but upon a moderate attendance only of buyers, and by no means a desire to purchase freely, the transactions on the whole were limited, and no advance being obtainable, the current rates of Tuesday remained unvaried. Free Flour of all sorts continued to meet a slow demand on the terms last noted. In bond, a cargo of Roman Wheat at 6s 3d per 'Albs. and 1000 barrels of States Flour at 255, were disposed of. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease were saleable in small parcels merely, and scarcely maintained their previous value. Oats were little noticed to-day, but, from the short supply at hand, supported former prices Oatmeal continued to meet some inquiry for investment, but although no sales for that purpose were reported this morning, a moderate quantity was sold to consumers, and the trade for this article exhibited a steady aspect at our last quotations.

E.IIDEEN,.in reply to a question from the entered into airs e;splanatiuti of the the misunderstanding between the iccurences which led vernment and the French ambassado u r. The latter, claimed to deliver his credentials to the Queen, the regent, on the himself, and not in the shich claim appeared to be justified constitution, which conferred upon the regent all the royal authority. The British government suggested, as a compromise, that the credentials should be delivered to the Queen in the presence of the regent, and that he alone should answer. This was declined by the Spanish government, and he believed very honestly declined, and the French ambassador retired from Madrid. It was a mere matter of etiquette, but he feared at the time, and those fears bad since been confirmed, that the circumstance would have a very prejudicial effect upon the negotiations for the renewal of diplomatic relations between Spain and the great northern powers, though he hoped this prejudicial effect would be of but temporary duration. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that he would move a series of resolutions this evening relative to the financial scheme proposed by Sir R. Peel ou Friday night. The effect of his resolution would be, That a direct tax on income should never be resorted to unless under very extraordinary circumstances. That such a tax should on no account form part of the ordinary sources of the revenue, because from its inquisito rial nature it would lead to much vexation. and would give facilities to the government of raising its amount at any time, and thus increasing the revenue instead of seeking for revenue in retrenchment. That care should be taken that the pressure of such a tax should be distributed so as to make it easily borne by all classes, and that the highest persons should be permitted to bear their full share in proportion to their properties as well as the poorest. That a distinction should be made between income arising from capital and income arising from labour. That a distinction should be made between income en joyed for life only, and income where the party had also an interest in the capital. That no distinction should be made between incomes aris ing from salaries in the civil service and pensions. That it was not consistent with sound policy or justice to exempt the smallest income from the charge, except on the supposition that the party possessing it was wholly unable to nay anything ; and lastly, that while it was the duty of the people to pay the tax, if imposed by parliament, it was equally.the duty of parliament to afford relief to the people by the practice of the strictest economy, and to remove the tax altogether as soon as the ordinary revenue of the country had recovered from its tem porary depression. Earl FITZWILLIAM declared that he wha never 'surprised at anything more than at this attempt to revive, not the pro perty, but the odious income tax. He approved of the pro posed tax on property, and only found fault with that por tion of the plan because it did not go far enough. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid upon the table a bill for the amendment gl the laws relating to bankrupts.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY Mr. F. BARING gave notice that he would ask to-morrow evening by what means the right hon. baronet at the head of the government proposed to collect the income tax. The SPEAKER, in reply to a question from Mr. C. BU LLER, said that petitions against the proposed taxes could not be received after the house should have agreed to the resolution upon the subject. Mr. C. BULLER, under these circumstances, hoped Sir R. Peel would postpone the consideration of the resolutions be yond Friday, as otherwise the people would have no oppor tunity of petitioning ; but Sir R. PEEL could not see the necessity of postponing the consideration► of his plan beyond Friday. The right hon. baronet then moved the committee on the corn importation bill. Mr. WARD moved, as an amendment to the Question that the Speaker should leave the chair, the following resolution, " That it is inexpedient to impose any duty upon the impor tation of foreign cot n until this house shall have inquired whether there are any special burdens peculiarly affecting the landed interest of this country, or any special exemptions en joyed by that interest, and shall have ascertained their nature and extent." The hon. gentleman contended at considerable length that the land had no peculiar burdens which it ought not to bear as land, or which were not compensated by ex emptions. . . . . Colonel WOOD said, that a paper which had already been laid upon the table would have told the hon. member if he hid read it, that land has a larger share of burdens than pressed upon other interests. Of the poor-rates, for instance, the great bulk was paid by the land, amounting to over four millions, and the policy, he thought, would be unwise which went to destroy the means of extending such a - large amount of relief to the poor. Mr. M. GIBSON supported the amendment of Mr. Ward, and said it was absurd to talk in that house as hon. members were in the habit of talking at agricultural dinners, for men of sense would not believe that the greatness of England was to be attributed to keeping a few acres of burning sand or wet clay in wheat cultivation. There was a feeling abroad that the landed proprietors were seeking to uphold agricul ture by keeping down trade, and that feeling would be in creased if the motion before the house were rejected. Mr. DARBY opposed the motion, and instanced the burden which the malt-tax flung upon the land, notwithstanding - its being a tax that was paid by the consumer. How often had the landlords been refused permission by the government to wet their corn in order to feed their cattle on account of this tax on malt? and had not the government put a stop to the growth of tobacco in Ireland, which was found to be very profitable to the landholder, because it interfered with the revenue? and did not the landlords also pay largely upon articles of importation in order to give protection to the ma nufacturers at home? He could not consent to an inquiry so limited as that suggested. Dr. BowniNG said he had no doubt Mr. Ward would con sent to enlarge the inquiry. He also said that in every country, except this, nearly the whole of the revenue was derived from land. Mr. ScAuLETT contended that the land bore nearly all the burdens of the state. Mr. CHILDERS said that the landed interest had been always too powerful in parliament to allow unfair burdens being flung upon them. Mr. PALMER said that the landowner laboured under a disadvantage which did not apply to the manufacturer. Hi s capital was fixed, whereas the manufacturer might be con sidered as a bird of passage, who could not transport his ca_ pital where he could most profitably use it. Sir R. PEEL complained of those protracted discussions, the only tendency of which was to impede a bill universally admitted to be a great improvement of the law now in exis tence. If the motion of the hon. member for Sheffield were to be agreed to, were they to hang up the corn law for two or three sessions until a committee could report upon the subject entrusted to them for investigation. The bon. member would not admit that tithes were a burden on the land, but Mr. Ricardo and Mr. A. Smith were of a different opinion. It was in fact very difficult to ascertain what were or were not burdens on land, nor would a committee settle the matter at last. He hoped, therefore, the house would no longer delay the progress of public business. Mr. STRurr supported Mr. Wakley's amendment, and said that in the whole discussion all the argument was with his side of the house. _ Mr. COBDEN said that the land tax was an evasion. It was originally intended to be a growing rental in accordance with the exigencies of the state, as was proved by the Land Tax Act ; and although it was to be levied upon the value of the land, yet no new assessment had been made since 1692. This was not the case with the window duties, or any other tax. Upon these they made new assessments, but the land was paying the same tax now as it paid 150 years ago. As they were now about to impose new taxes, the mercantile classes, when applied to to know how much they had earned in the last year, would ask how much the tax on land had increased since the last assessment. If they became inquisi tive into the affairs of the merchant, the latter would become equally inquisitive into the affairs of the landed proprietor. Lord WousLEy opposed the motion of Mr. Ward, for . . although he was opposed to the bill before the house, yet he would not aid any motion meant apparently for the mere purpose of obstructing it. Mr. VILLIERS thought the reason for the opposition of the noble lord, as well as for that of hon. members on the other side of the house, was no other than a fear of the results of an inquiry upon the subject. The hon. gentleman read a statement to show that since 1816 taxes amounting to over £900,000 had been remitted to the landed interest Lord HowicK thought it was a matter of great interest to the house and to the country to ascertain what were the burdens which exclusively pressed upon land ; but still he could not support the motion because of the interest the public had in the procedure of public business without inter ruption. Mr. WA KLEY suggested a compromise, and hoped the right hon. baronet would say to Mr. Ward, " you shall have your committee of inquiry another time, but do not press it now." Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought his hon. friend was unfairly treated in being told that he was interfering with the pro - - gress of the bill, when in point of fact he had intended to bring forward his motion last Thursday, but there was no house owing to the "whipping out" of those connected with the government, who ought to be the parties to " whip in." Indeed, Mr. Canning had once said that the younger members of the iovernmentJsuch as secretaries to the Treasury, &( them 1 had only three important duties to perform—first, to make a house ; secondly, to keep a house ; and thirdly, to cheer the minister. (Great laughter.) He-: ; thought the government ought to be responsible for making -A house. The house divided, and the motion of Mr. Ward was de feated by a majority of 230 to 115. The house then went into committee, and Sir V. Blake occasioned much amusement by giving a disquisition on the merits of potatoes. Mr. PARKER moved that it be lawful for any person to give bond for the payment of duty on foreign corn at the ruling duty of the time, even though such corn might not be in bond, provided that such corn should be in bond within four months from the time of giving bond. Sir R. PEEL said this certainly was a most extraordinary proposition. A man might give bond when the duty was at a shilling for an unlimited quantity of corn; he would then take the chance of the next four months, and if they did not suit his purpose he would neither pay the duty nor bring in the corn. After a short discussion, Mr. PARKER withdrew his mo tion. Mr. P. SCROPE moved that at the desire of the importer the duty might be taken from the ruling duty on the day the ship left the port from which the corn was exported. Sir IL. PEEL said this would give the importer a choice as to the duty he would wish to pay, which was unjust in prin ciple, and might lead to the most serious inconvenience. After a short discussion, the motion was negatived without a division. _ _ _ Having got through eight clauses of the bill, and it being 20 minutes past 12 o'clock, the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TuEsDAr Thr royal assent was given, by commission, in the Duchy of Cornwall Bill and the Van Diemen's Land Bill. Lord BROUGHAM postponed, until Thursday, Ifis motion relative to Sir E. Peel's proposed plan of finance. Adjourned HOUSE OF COMMONS.- -TUESDAY The second reading of the Marylehone Parish Bill was op posed by Sir B. HALL, who moved that it should be read a second time that day six months. Mr. WARLEY contended that the bill was a flagrant job, and he hoped the house would reject it. After some discussion the second reading was carried by a majority of 206 to 131. Mr. F. BARING asked Sir R. Peel several questions as to the way i n w hi c h i t was pro p os ed to collect the income tax. Sir lt. PEEL replied that the right hon. ge ntleman had put no less th an seven quest i ons to hi m u pon this head; but he must say, th at until the ro per time for that disc losur e came he should d m p ee e, entirely from a sense of pu blic dut y , t o enter_ into a ny explanation of the. mac hi ner y to which the Government proposed to resort for the collection of the tax. Lord HOW, ICK thou g ht it un f a i r t o as k the house on Friday next to agree to an income-tax without giving the house an opportunity of considering of the machinery necessary for its collection. Mr. F. BARING said that Mr. Pitt, when he brought for- TLPiel pUned the mai by which t 4.4 in reply to a casual question, resolution to the effect that the s should be continued as to the have for their object f-tich moditioatioes terests of is are eolit , ibtent with the public The cotranerc cessary, les of rhos leman dwelt strongly upon the in the markets of the Turkish cit valuable bet several med the necessit ie labouring under cal authorities to y of a revision well as to I: s mate fact t he en worn t disease. - f - Ie•ulso quoted same effect, and enforced Sir It. PEEL said he had no objection to the motion, which was accordingly agreed to. Sir A. L. HAY moved for copies of correspondence in the home-office since the first day of July, 1841, relating to the appointment of a minister to the vacant charge in the parish of Elgin. The lion. baronet entered at great length into the causes of the collision which had taken place be tween the supreme civil courts of Scotland and the General Assembly, which ought, in his opinion, to have been settled by her Majesty's late government, and which, he hoped, would be now settled by the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel), for he had never seen the minds of the people of Scotland so agitated upon any subject as upon this. Sir J. GRAHAM said he would speak, from his earliest ex perience, of the salutary influence produced upon the morals and general character of the people of Scotland by the church of that country ; but in the division which bad taken place, it was very difficult in this country to ascertain what course should be pursued. Two years ago the Earl of Aberdeen proposed a measure calculated to satisfy the moderate men of all parties ; but, as was too often the case, the moderate party proved to be the weakest, and the noble lord was compelled to abandon his bill for want of encouragement. It was the determination of the government to insist, without violence, but with firmness, on obedience to the law of the land, and it was the duty of the government to see that the veto act should not prevail over that law. He thought it better to stand by the law, with which he was satisfied, rather than to attempt legislation, and he should therefore oppose the mo tion. Mr. F. MAULE said he differed froin Sir James Graham's view of what was the law of the land, and contended for the independent spiritual jurisdiction of the Church of Scotland, with which even parliament itself had, according to the act of union no right to interfere. He deeply regretted, there fore, to hear the determination to which her Majesty's go vernment had conic, of refraining from legislation on the subject. Mr. A. B. COCHRANE said he was delighted to hear that it was the intention of the government that the law should. be supported. That was all that was required, and though he had intended to support the motion, he should, after the assurance of Sir James Graham, rest perfectly satisfied. Mr. A. CAMPBELL said be little expected that he should have been called upon to give so decided a condemnation of a government which he had hitherto supported, as he was then called upon to pronounce against that of the right hon. baronet, who had, it appeared, made up his mind to crush the church of Scotland—an attempt, however, in which he would fail, for he would have all Scotland against him. Mr. C. BRUCE bore testimony to the conciliating way in which Sir James Graham had exercised the patronage of the crown in the disposal of church preferments in Scotland. • After a few words from Mr. Duff and Sir A. E. Hay, the motion was negatived without a division. On the motion of Mr. HUTT the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole house, with a view to the bringing in a bill to permit flour or flour and biscuit to be substituted for foreign wheat secured in warehouses. Sir It. PEEL said he had no objection to the bringing in of the bill, in order to its being printed and circulated, but without pledging himself in the slightest degree , to the mea sure. . _ The requisite resolution was then agreed to, and the house resumed. Mr. A. CAMPBELL moved for a select committee to consi der the constitution and principles of the church of Scotland, and to inquire into the causes of the collision between the supreme court of that church and the supreme civil courts, and to report their observations thereon to the house. Mr. Cow PER supported the motion; feeling desirous, as a member of the Church of England, to have some information upon the subject. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the government had come to the resolution of standing by the law as laid down by the decision of the House of Lords, which decision repudiated the veto as being contrary to law. Under these circumstances the ministry deprecated the appointment of a committee. Be sides, the inquiry proposed was far too extensive in its nature to admit of their engaging in such an investigation. Mr. Fox MAULE said he should support the motion, now that he distinctly understood that it was not the intention of the government to legislate upon the subject. It was, in his opinion, necessary that the people of England should be made better acquainted with the important matter in dispute. Sir R. PEEL said he quite agreed with Lord Cottenham that it would'be useless to legislate, unless they could hope by legislation finally to settle the question, and from the temper of parties in Scotland, he believed by interference they would only make matters worse. He did not mean to say that government was satisfied with the present state of matters in Scotland; on the contrary, as soon as he had ac ceded to office, communications were opened with the view of ascertaining if they could hope to effect a reconciliation by means of legislation, and the result of those communica tions was a belief that the interference of government would end in disappointment. He feared that the appointment of a select committee would only tend to widen existing differences. Mr. CAMPBELL replied ; a f ter which the h ouse di v id e d , and the motion was negatived by a majority of 139 to 62. Mr. FERRAND moved for a copy of all the convictions in the counties of York and Lancaster , b y m agistrates in petty sessions, of persons who have been guilty of illegally p a yi ng the wages of their workpeople i n goods instead o f t h e cur rent coin of the realm. The lion• member reiterated his former charges against the manufacturers. Air. SCHOLEFIELD said he had letters from persons in Birmingham, informing him that the most gross imposition had been practised upon the hon. member for Knaresborough, as to what was said t o have taken place in th at t own . N o such meeting as that he spoke of bad ever taken place. The motion was agreed to, the orders of the day were dis posed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF CONIMONS. — WEDNESDAY. to a question from Mr. M. Gib- Sir R. PEEL, in replying son, as to whether the income tax was to be imposed on pensions as well as upon salaries and annuities chargeable on the consolidated fund, replied in the affirmative; and took that opportunity of stating that her Majesty had communi cated to him her intention to submit to the income tax, in common with her subjects, should such a tax be required by the necessities of the country. Mr. E. TENN ENT moved the second reading of the Designs Copyright Bill. The object of the bill is to extend from three to nine months the copyright of designs for the purpose of manufacture. Mr. W. WILLIAMS opposed the bill, on the ground that it would occasion the most serious inconvenience to our manufactures, and lead to endless litigation. Lord F. EGERTON thought the bill was founded on the soundest principles of morality, an d was fully of opinion that the manufacturers would find reason to be grateful to the individual who had suggested its enactment. Mr. SHIEL argued at considerable length that it would be right to enlarge the time of copyright to six months, but he was opposed io any greater extension of it. Dr. BOWRING thought the bill would not effect its own object of giving protection to inventions, for it contained no definition whatever as to what was to be deemed to be invention. _ . Mr. M. PHILIPS thought that a term of three months was quite sufficient for all departments of the trade. As a com promise, however, he might be induced to agree to extend the copyright to six months. Captain FITZROY thought the carpet trade required pro tection more than any other, on account of the expense of its designs. _The present terrn was not sufficient. MormisoN was in favour of a fair protection, but thought an exorbitant one would be very injurious to trade. Six months' protection should be the outside. Mr. BEATHCOTE thought that in the present bill there was no protection against fraud in the registering of patterns, and stated his approval of the French mode of giving publicity to patterns. Mr. BROTHEILTON said the house ought to be cautious of extending beyond six months a bill likely to be productive both of oppression and litigation. Mr. GLADSTONE supported the bill, contending that it could not operate at all injuriously against our foreign trade in printed goods. The bill was then read a second time. Lord IluioN moved the second reading of the copyright bill, which was agreed to on the understanding that the dis cussion should be taken on going into committee. The adjourned debate on Lord F. Egerton's motion re specting.the marriage law was then resumed ; and Mr. BORTHWICK said there was no direct prohibition con tained in the Scriptures against a marriage between a man and the sister of his deceased wife. He supported the mo tion of the noble lord. Mr. CuitTEis also supported the motion, in order that the nature of the bill might be seen and fairly considered. Mr. C. BUTLER said at the first view of the question he was inclined to be adverse to the motion of the noble lord. but more full consideratiOn had induced him to give it his decided concurrence, for, however he might be disposed to retain the present law as far as regarded the higher classes of the community, he was convinced that in the middle and humbler classes some such relaxation was necessary, for the sister of a deceased wife would be the most eligible party to watch over, perhaps, a large family of children left behind. The general custom of European countries, and also of America, was in favoni-, of- such marriages, and they could never persuade people that - it was very horrible to effect marriages which were sanctioned very generrally throughout Europe, and sanctioned more by Protestant than Catholic countries. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could no consent to place the moral feeling of the higher classes and of the lower classes upon a different footing, and in this case ne should be more inclined to oppose such marriages amongst the latter than amongst the higher orders. He forbore from entering upon the religious portion of the question, from a wish to refrain from making that house an arena for theolo gical discussion, and would therefore confine himself to the inconvenient consequences likely to arise from such mar riages. The right hon. gentleman then argued at consider able length against such marriages, and said, in his opinion, the bill would be, if carried, destructive to all social happi ness and comfort. _ _ _ Mr. BROTHERTON said, that, although known to be ille gal, such marriages was very common amongst the lower classes. It was only on the ground of expediency that the question could be argued, and upon that ground he should support the motion. Mr. V. SmrTH opposed the motion, avoiding the religious portion of the question a ltogether, and entirely relying upon the extreme social inconvenience which the proposed measure would be likely to lead to. Mr. O'CONNELL opposed the bill, as opposed to domestic convenience and domestic morality. Lord ASHLEY said, that this very question had been dis cussed in France by persons who had no great respect for either canon or ecclesiastical law. In the council of state, under Napoleon, in 1804, it was determined that no such marriages should take place between a man and his sister-in law ; and that even in such a case a dispensation should not be allowed, although dispensations were allowed in the cases of a man marrying his niece, or a woman her nephew. This conclusion was come to solely because of the inconvenience to which they were calculated to lead. In a matter of such immense importance they should not interfere, unless com pelled to do so by an overwhelming necessity, which in this case did not exist. _ Mr. D. WOOD said that the conclusion come to by the French Council of State was founded upon the facility of di vorce in France, which destroyed the analogy between the Sir W. FOLLETT gave a lucid explanation of the law, which, as far back as the reign of Henry the Eighth, declared such marriages to be illegal, and in point of fact they had always been illegal by the canon law, though, if not ques tioned during the lifetime of the parties, they would not suffer them to be subsequently questioned. But such, he contended, was no t a proper s t a t e i n which to leav e th e law, for it left the parties who engaged in such marriages at the mercy of any one who chose to extort money from them by threats of the eccl es i as ti ca l c ourt, or of those who might have an!interest in setting aside the claims of the children to the property of the father. He should oppose the introduction of the bill, as likely to give to the children but a chance of a .M.)ippina furettlgraft.

The other orders of the day were then iisposed of, and the adjourned WORCESTER STEEPLE CHASE On Monday this affair came off. About two o'clock, (the appointed hour,) Mr. Tolley and his `• javelin men," cleared the lines of the dense masses of lookers-on ; but a full hour was then frittred away, and it was not till after thin that the bell rang for saddling ; the following nine appeared before the stand ; and just previous to the start, Lottery (the favourite), and Anonymous were declared not to run, Mr. Elmore seeming inclined to win by Gay Lad—alas for human calculations!

An extremely exciting and beautiful race ensued, the chesnut being the winner by about a length. Railroad (the favourite) was non est, and it appeared by sundry unmistakeable marks when they did come in, that both Railroad and Ludlow bad " kissed mother earth" in some pulpy part of the Moors. This race was done in 13 minutes. Betting : 2 to 1, freely offered, on Railroad ; 5 to 1 against Bob Acres ; 5 to 1 against Charles- the Twelfth ; 10 to 1 .against Tommy ; 10 to 1 against Spring Flower; and long odds against Bravo.

On taking a review of our Cotton market for the last few days, we arc enabled to report a somewhat better state of things as far as regards tone and feeling, though not as to extent of business. The amount of Tuesday's transactions were 2,0-0 bales, Wednesday :3,500, and to-day, Thursday, 4. , 00 bales, all to the trade at full prices, with a steady but quiet market. Exporters have been enquirinK to-day, but cannot buy to their mind, and have delayed their operations. On the whole, we may safely say there are little dawniugs,manifest of better days at hand, and the dark forebodings of many have been succeded by the calmness and assurance that " all is not over with us yet." LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 14 The supplies last week were tolerably good of all sorts of grain, both English and Foreign, and we had an arrival of 141,604 sacks of Flour, together with 3,:rpo barrels of Foreign. This morning's market the supply fresh up is short of Wheat, and only moderate of other grain. The Wheat trade is full Is per quarter cheaper than this day week for both English and Foreign samples. Barley is also Is lower. Oats are not cheaper for good qualities, though the trade is slow for such, and inferior are hardly saleable. Beans and Peas are in moderate request at last week's prices. Fleur without alteration. In grass Seeds we have but little doing. The absence of demand causes the trade to be generally dull. ‘VEDNESDAY, March 17. There is nothing going forward this morning; the retail business in Wheat and Oats, for immediate consumption, is nominally at the rates of lastmarket day. The samples of Irish grain are very in. ferior, and the effect is considerable on the London averages, by the low price which is obtained for Wheat and Oats from the Irish ports. The unsettied state of the Corn Bill, and the uncertainty of the mode and time of its operation, is against all speculative trade in any description of grain. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 14 The attendance of both London and country buyers was on the the whole fair ; yet the receipts of Beasts—the principal portion of which, about 2,220. came to hand from Norfolk—being larger than were those exhibited here on this day se'nnight, by about 300, they were by far greater than required to meet the demand ; hence an abatement on last week's currencies of 2 d per 81b was submitted to, the primest Scots not exceeding 4s 4d, the Shorthorns 4s per 811,s, and nearly 400 were turned out unsold at the close of the trade. The Devons, runts, and Herefords were mostly prime, as were also the horned and polled Scots from Aberdeen and Perth — in number about 230—fully :100 more, together with 140 Sheep, being now on their way hitherto from those quarters. There was another large arrival of Sheep, comprising nearly all breeds, which caused the Mutton trade to rule unusually dull, and another abate. ment was noticed in the rates to the amount of per sib : and we can quote no higher a general figure for the best old Downs, though a few selected pens may have produced a trifle more money, wit!; difficulty, than 48 10d per Sibs. Some of the long wools were slightly affected with lameness. hut the Dewns were in good order. All the Sheep were not disposed of. There were about 400 Shear ling Lincolns, Leicesters, and Kents on sale, which moved off slowly, at from 3s led to 45 per Bibs, but none arrived from Sussex. From Essex, Kent, and Surrey, nearly ass Lambs came to hand, but they were not very gay. However, in many transactions, the best of them sold at 7s 2d per Bibs, other kinds being a mere drug. No receipts by any mode of conveyance from the Isle of Wight, but some are shortly expected thence per railway. Most of the butchers complain of their weighing qualities, and evince great caution in their purchases; the same as regards the Sheep, many of the latter of which are found to be much infected with water. Calves were in moderate supply, yet the inquiry for them was very inanimate, and the highest figure realized for the best description of Veal was as Sd per Sibs. Neat small porkers sold freely, other kinds of Pigs slowly, at barely stationary prices. A few Irish Pigs came to hand. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARcia 15. • A few small parcels of English and Irish Wheat, with a moderate quantity of Barley and Malt coastwise, have been received here since this day week ; but of other sorts of free grain the supplies are light, and of Oatmeal less than usual. —Daring the same time we have to report some farther ar rivals of Wheat from the South of Europe, and from the American States 1847 barrels of Flour. Anticipating the release of some portion of the bonded stocks of Grain and Flour ere long, and influenced also by the general depression in the leading markets of the king dom, our local buyers still continue extremely cautious in their proceedings; having, however, several country millers down to-day, fine English and Foreign Wheats met an im proved, but by no means a lively or extensive demand, and such nearly retained our last quotations ; whilst the general runs of each declined ld to 2d per 70Ibs, and Irish sam ples, being nearly unsaleable, were nominal in value. Home made and Irish Flour, being much neglected, were somewhat cheaper, and free brands of Foreign receded Gd to is per barrel. Of States Flour, in bond, 1000 barrels were taken at the close of the week, at 25s Gd, which comprise the only sales reported under lock since Tuesday last.
