Lord ELLIOT gave some explanations, and expressed the regret of the government. He believed, however, that the offence had begun upon the Roman Catholic side. The Production oi the return was agreed to. The SPEAKER having left the chair, Sir HENRY HAR LUNGE brought forward the army estimates, proposing an addition'of 1-147 men to the force voted in the last estimate, making a total of 95,628 men, exclusively of the troops em- some regiments, which h;.A for many consecutive years been kept abroad, and observed that efficiency was the truest eco- nomy. Lord A thought, that in t ons with America - and France. present state ir force should have been proposed. He wished that more encou ragement should be bestowed upon the service, in order to induce good men to join it. Sir H. HARDINGE declared that her Majesty had now six battalions in the completesr order, ready at any moment to be sent to any quarter of the globe. Some conversation about the depot system took place be tween Sir H. HARDINGE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in the coarse of which Lord John expressed his general concurrence in the vote. Mr. WILLIAMS thought that the statement of the ways and means ought to have preceded the discussion of the esti mat *"t_ - fell short of the expenditure in the last cater than in the millions in last year, and in this in this year was g w no occasion for so' large a would move a reduction. He objected also to the half-pay and retired allowances to the late bre said that the army had not merited by any re- .flowed to iiidocN-rs The revent ear, and the expen tst. The deficienc year it would amount of the vet, which fir H. DOUGLAS said he was notsurpris bers on the other side of the house had raised no to the votes proposed by his right hon. friend, for that which he did the late ministry ought to have done scale. Our military force ought to much t ght to have been fur- ar broke ou ther increased' when those hostilities commenced in the East, the issue 'of which they had yet to learn. At the breaking out of the Canadian rebellion two regiments were removed from the lonian Islands, to the great inconvenience of the public service. Looking to the Chinese war, and to what had taken place in the East since its commencement, he must say, that for many years past, and most particularly from the time of the Canadian rebellion, the strength of the British army had never been equal to the work it had to perform. It bad been utterly insufficient, not only for ordinary relief, hut to enable officers abroad to carry on warlike operations in a proper manner ' • and it was now utterly insufficient to re trieve any greatdisaster that might happen, which God for bid ! 'For want of a sufficient force, the officers engaged in in Affghanistan had h" -'ited from carrying on the war ; other they would not have line of coun- undertaken great operationS along an immense that progress step by step, and es in every important part, for the purpose of nyiying intelligence and supplies, and of making all safe id secure in case of any unforeseen disaster, so that the rces could retreat from the first post to the second, and so as far as necessary, falling back, not upon weakness, but - *h. He charged that insufficiency upon those _... at the time to make ample provision for very contingency, and not to have left officers exposed to defeat, and to the necessity of deviating from the first rules of the service. He therefore thanked his right trywithout making gc whose duty honourable friend for having increased her Majesty's forces. But that ought to have been done long ago. It was now imperatively necessary to look well to our extended empire, and lo increase our forces, not by expedients, but by large and regular rneans. Look at India. The Queen's troops there were reckoned at 22 battalions, at the very moment when some were called away to China, and others to Affghanistan ! What were 22 battalions for India Proper? And where were they now? Nine and a half only were' in India ; some were sent to Affghanistan, some to Cabal, - and some 'to jellalabad.' Be trusted that no new disaster would befal the British troops in thoseparts, but, should such an event take place, not only would the physical results be Most distressing, but the moral effect must be most mischievous to the honour and welfare of this country ; and here again he must cast all the responsibility of such a state of thinks upon those who, when it was their duty to prepare the necessary supplies, failed to do so. (Hear, hear.) Re turning now to that degree of comfort which ought to be provided for the British soldier, he would state that when he 'arrived at the lonian Wands, he found but, one military chaplain there ; and on visiting the hospitalS he heard the dying soldiers calling for spiritual aid and comfort in their last moments. fie applied to the noble lord the member for Sunderland; who was then Secretary at War, and he appoint ed another chaplain, and also three Roman Catholic chap lains; but he (Sir H. Douglas) had recommended the appoint ment of four. An alteration for the better was visible among the military ; many of them were to he seen sitting in the guard-room§ reading, and he knew from observation that those who took to their books forsook baneful habits and pursuits, and became moral men, and consequently orderly and good soldiers: (Hear,'hear.) He wished his righfhon. friend'would take another step with respect to thcse institu tions which had proved so beneficial among civilians—he meant saving-banks. When he was Governor of New Brunswick, many years ago, he established saving-banks, in which the military deposited their savings, hot as soldiers, but as private persons ; and in a very short time tneir depo sits amounted to 1;500, while provident habits and temper ance and general good conduct prevailed more extensively amongst the men. In the course of service, however, the re giment was calledelsewhere ; there being no mode of remitting deposits, it was necessary to return the men their money, and the Conseqtience was, that, though some gave their savings to superior officers, or the paymaster, to take care of for them, others fell into great irregularities, spending their money foolishly, ,and courts-martial followed their misconduct. us they were thrown back in the path of good behaviour, ly through the absence of a regimental saving-bank. lcein'this matter was similar in the lonian Isles. for Marylebone, after ',leaded 'so - warmly the other night against the reduc- the me Ue complenlentl my, and not case of the surely support the same view of wish to decrease the comforts or injure the health of the soldier. He quite agreed with the gallant commodore in what he had said upon that subject, though he would not fol low him to the length of saying that, in consequence of the deficiency in the 'Complement of men for the Mediterranean fleet, if the French had come down upon the British they would.have been defeated.

HAIUDINGE inclined to a the opinion. the period of servic dier to his dischar diff, eulty was chiefly a financial one. With respect !o' Mr. Wiliiaths's observations, he stated, that seven battalions of the proposed force were required for the war in China, and that the half-pay list had been much diminished, but could not be further reduced, except by death, the officers being now, for the most part, too old to be recalled into active ser vice. As the number of officers diminished by death, the number of pensions to their widows bad unavoidably aug mented. The service abroad was so severe, that the reliefs must absolutely be increased, and this required an increase the total for& The vote was affirmed.

After some further conversation the bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on the re-assembling of the house after the Easter holidays. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TIJESDAY. Mr. D'lsaAm.t called the attention of the house to the consular establishment of the empire, with . a view to its re construction. In a speech of upwards of two hours' duration he dwelt upon the great inconvenience and injury to the pub lic welfare arising from the circumstance that the civ- lw two of her Majesty in foreign countries were carried on distinct services ; and concluded by moving that, with a viev of advancing those commercial interests which at this ma ►vent so much occupy our consideration, it is expedient that measures should be forthwith taken to blend the consular with the diplomatic body. Lord C. HAMILTON seconded the motion. lie contended of consular law for the proper protec ts abroad, as well as for the protection on of British subj. of our commercial interests. Dr. BOWRING was of opinion that the real evil was to be traced to the imperfect education of those appointed to fill consular offices. Sir R..PEEL said that many of the observations of Mr. D'lsraeli applied to appointments with which he had had nothing to do, and he did not, therefore, feel himself called upon to reply to them; but as respected the general ques tion, be was not prepared to give his support to the mo tion that the diplomatic and consular functions should be blended. Laying down any such general rule would lead to great inconvenience, for, in many instances, it was desirable to have consuls who could not possess the diplomatic cha racter, though he admitted, on the other hand, that there were cases in which it might be advantageous to 1. site the two functions in the same individul. This, however, should be left entirely to the discretion of the government. Lord PALMERSTON was of opinion that Mr. D'lsreeli bad failed in making out a case in support of his motion, and contended that generally the consular duties of the empire had been very ably carried out by those to whom they, were entrusted. The noble lord entered into a long defence of the course he had pursued with respect to these establish ments, and he also defended some of the consular appoint ments which had been impugned by Mr. D'lsraeli. He be lieved, however, that in South America the diplomatic and consular character might be safely and advantageously united in the same individual. Mr. SMYTHE suggested that it would be well to appoint persons as consuls who had as little as possible to do per sonally with trade; because, independent of the disinclina tion which a foreign government would have to communicate to a consul, who was a merchant also, particular kinds of information, the merchani himself might frequently find that his communicating information which his government ought to know would prove prejudicial to his private interests as a trader. After some observations from Mr. WILLIAMS and Sir W SOMERVILLE, WARD said the motion could lead to no practical re sult in its present shape, and he should therefore, if pressed to a division, vote against it •, though he admitted that some useful improvements might be adopted from what the hon. member bad suggested. After a few observations from Mr. LABOUCRERE and Captain PLumuthun, Mr. D'lsn AELI replied, and the motion was negatived without a division. 141 r. MACKINNON then moved for a select committee to consider the expediency of framing some legislative enact ments (due respect being paid to the rights of the clergy,) to remedy the evils arising from the interment of bodies within the precincts of large towns or places densely peopled. The hon. member expressed his surprise that the present system should have been suffered to continue to the present day, al though it was notorious that it was productive of the most pernicious consequences, to the health of the inhabitants of large cities.. _ Dr. Bown.i - No seconded the motion, and said he was glad to see that at last some step was about to be taken with a view to render the dead as little as possible obnoxious to theliving. Mr. Wtoctuy thought the question one of great import ance, and hoped the hon. member would not Once upon the committee any of the proprietors of cemetery companies. Sir J. GRAHAM gave his consent to the motion, conceiving it quite necessary that some step should be taken to remedy the evil complained of. The motion was agreed to. _ Lord F. EGERTON moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend an act entituled "An act to render certain marriages valid, and to alter the law with respect to certain voidable mar riaaes, and to define the prohibited degrees of affinity." The bill he proposed to remedy was that of 1835, which contained a prospective clause prohibiting certain marriages on the ground of the affinity of the parties. One chie object of the bill would be to enable a widower to marry his wife's sister, which he thought was not contrary to the Christian dispensation. In many instances it might be must advanta geous to the children of the first marriage that the sister of their mother should be placed in a position to watch over their education in the character of a parent. The noble lord spoke at considerable length in support of his proposition, and in explcnation of most of its details to the house, and said he had no apprehension that the passing of his bill could at all tend to weaken the moral sanctity of marriage in this country. MM. BORTHWICK seconded the motion. Sir R. INGLis regretted that the subject should have been introduced at all, and more particularly that it should be in troduced by a noble lord whose character stood so high as to give great weight to anything he proposed. The universal church was decidedly averse for fifteen centuries to such marriages as. he now ought to legalise. There was no single instance in which such marriages as those sought to be now legalised had been sanctioned. It was not necessary to rest this question on the word of God. On purely social, practi cal, and political grounds, it was objectionable. He believed no man with a well-conducted mind would regard his wife's sister with other feelings than he would his own. He hoped the opinion of the house would be so expressed that the mea sure would not be again brought forward. Mr. M. MILNES regretted to hear the intention of the hon. baronet to take the sense of the house upon the bill. He thought the question could not be settled so summarily as the hon. baronet imagined, but that it required mature deliberation. Mr. HOPE (Maidstone)concurred with Sir It. Inglis in opposing the treasure, which he considered would clash with the decrees of the church, and be regarded as an instalment of some greater measure. Mr. C. BULLER thought the measure too important to proceed with at that late hour, and therefore proposed the adjournment of the debate. After a few words from Mr. PLuzuTRE, Sir R. INGLIS, and Dr. Nicftem., it was arranged, on the suggestion of Sir R. PEEL, that the debate should be adjourned to Friday week. The house soon after adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. Sir It. PEEL moved the second reading of the Corn Im portation Bill. Lord EBRII.4GTON argued at considerable length in oppo sition to the sliding scale of duties, and moved, as an amend ment, that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. Col. T. WOOD supported the bill, though he admitted that he was at one time disposed to wish for a less prohibitory measure. VYVYAN supported the amendment ; as did also Mr. BLAcKsToNE, who contended that it did not give suiEcient protection to the agriculturist, and said that, there were only five petitions, signed by 510 individuals, presented to the hduse in 'favour ct the ►neasure proposed by the govern- Mr. BUCK denied that the prevailing distress was to be attributed to the corn 'laws. He should have been better pleased if the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel) had proposed a higher scale of duties, but his constituents were not dis posed on iv!count of his proposed alterations to withdraw their support from a govetriment in which they ir d the greatest confidence. - Lord Howicx admitted that the proposed bill was a very great amendment and amelioration of the existing law, and he believed it to be the beginning of a progress to a corn law founded upon a more intelligible principle than that which they had then before them. He repudiated the idea of pro tection to agriculture, or to any other branch of industry, beyond the protection to any man in the possession of the fruits of his own labour. Any protection that went beyond this, any protection that went the length of compelling one man to purchase the produde of another ceased to be pro tection, and became wrong by giving to onepartmular class the power of taxing their fellow-subjects. He was not an ad vocate for the total and immediate repeal of the corn laws, but preferred a moderate fixed duty. As a strong proof of the evils of the sliding scale he instanced the fact that large quantities of corn were lying in bond while in the markets of England was enorme he price of corn the failure of our domestic produce, the corn in bond being retained there until the averages became sufficiently high to uit the purpose of ti importers The_ proposed "measure was a continuance of the same vicious policy hitherto main tained—it would satisfy no party, and ultimately the right hon. baronet would himself be obliged to come again to Par liament to admit that his own measure was not beneficial in its operation, and that it was his dnty to propose that it should he altered. Mr. PAXINGTON was of opinion that no case had been made out in favour of a fixed duty. Under the existing corn law, the manufacturers had acquired a degree of unprece dented prosperity ; and, convinced as he was of the necessity .ving protectiou to agriculture, he should support a mea brought forward by a Government in which his confi- which had e iced itself in the course of the debates on this v id which had led each side of the house to attri bute sordid motives to the other. It should he remembered that this,measure was forced upcn the present government— s' in fact, a brand of - discord flung.by the late go - and which it consequently be and questior hat it v necessary to deal with in some way; and the present ,overnment were dealing with it in the most equitable man ner for all parties. Mr. C. BULLER remarked upon the inconsistency of those 'hon. members who supported the existing law by their argu ments, and yet who supported its alteration by their votes. The hon. member then contended that the corn laws had operated most injuriously on the employMent of bbth capital and labour, and said that iiei;;;iLi j fe;iUtes in the bill of Sir R. Peel were, that it would increase the revenue, and that it was a considerable shake to a bast system. 113 111 it would be much better if such exciting expressions not resorted to ; it was a fair apd equitable adjustMent, which was called for by t Mr. SnE!L remarked upon the fact taken of the assertious, upon his side no notice had been the house, that the 1g mud cater concessions than the With respect to the sliding scale, he .3riticiplo were good, why it was not sugar; and other colonial produce. vas, that though for the last 1 millions of quarters of corn, yet present bill proposed wished to know, if the to be applied .to coffee, The evil of the present system v few years we had impor ua LI Cll.; in cum, as was proved by the fact 'that in one year, 1000 British vessels had entered the Baltic for the purpose of bringing home corn, and the whole of these vessels were sent out in ballast instead of being laden with British manufactures• e had r Mr. GLADSTONE charged Mr. Shell with inconsistency in repudiating the sliding scale, though he had himself always previously supported the sliding scale even against the most modified attempts to change it. He also charged him with having quoted the opinion of Mr. Huskiison, in 1821, against all his subsequent opinions, which was quite as unfair as if any one hereafter were to quote any of . the speeches of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Shell) in support of the existing corn law as a test of his opinions on the sliding scale, which it now appeared had undergone a total change. He con tended that, so far from the British manufacturer being de stroyed by foreign competition, the fact was thr.t the British manufacturer was able to compete successfully against any nation whatever, or against all. The house had determined by a large majority against the repeal of the corn law, and bad also determined by a large majority against the adoption of a fixed duty ; and the house had now proposed to it the adoption of a measure which was almost universally admitted to be one of considerable and substantial relief to the con sumer. The agriculturists in assenting to this measure were making a large concession , though he admitted not more than was called for by the state of the trading and manufac turing interests of the country ; but having thus conceded they were not deserving the terms of asperity which had been showered upon them in the course of these debates. With respect to this measure being a precursor of greater changes, he muse say that he never thought it within the compass of possibility that, in any matter connected with commerce or produce, they could legislate so as to prevent the necessity of ever at any future period having to consider the same sub ject. Still, surely the present measure must be considered, s t all events, as final as the proposition of a fixed duty, when the great mass of those who supported it avowed their object to be to obtain a fixed duty in order to get rid of that duty altogether. Lord J. RUSSELL quoted the opinion of Lord Sandon that the mercantile men of Liverpool were in favour of a fixed duty,'and in reply to an attack upon the motives which ac tuated the late government in bringing forward the alteration of the corn law, said, that when he proposed the changes in our fiscal laws, he fully expected to carry the greater portion of them, - and had no doubt•but that, as a change in the corn law was indispensable, he should by the force of public opi nion be enabled to carry that change also. The late govern ment had, however, been defeated by the supposition in which the country was left that the opponents of that govern ment were favourable to the existing corn law. The noble I alluded to the tears entertained by the agriculturists when it was proposed to reduce the duty on the importation of foreign wool, fears which experience proved to be un founded, for in subsequent years the quantity of home-grown wool largely increased. Yet upon that occasion the Duke of Richmond had moved for committee after committee in order to p rove that the measure must be enormously inju rious to the agricultural interests. He coull not see why the principle which had been successfully 'tarried out re specting other articles should wholly fail when applied to corn. If there were imposts on the agriculturists to which other classes were trot exposed, to that extent he would give them protection ; but, consistent with that protection, he was of opinion that the cheaper the price of corn the better it would be for the country. Sir R. PEEL said that the fixed duty of the noble lord would not be a measure of justice to thel agriculturists, nor would it give them the extent of protection which he avowed himself ready to concede. He denied that he had ever said that he did not expect that this measure would give no rejief to commercial manufacturing distress; what he had said was, that he could not hold out a hope that it would lead to any material or immediate mitigation of the sufferings of the people. He was of the same opinion still, and considered if he held out great expectations of great and immediate re lief from the change he proposed, that he should be practising a delusion, for he did not think the distress was the result of the existing corn law, and would not, therefore be at once relieved by its alteration. He had felt it his duty to frame a measure which would lead to a practical result, and• his success in so doing it was which had led to the dulness of their debates, for had his measure been other wise than practical they would have bad much more vigour in their denouncement of his plan. The right honour able baronet then appealed to the house to say, what would be the consequence of rejecting his measure? The noble lord could not carry his measure, nor could any other pro position he had heard hope for more than a comparatively trivial support, and the result, therefore, would be to keep the question unsettled, and the country agitated upon a subject of such importance. He hoped, therefore, that as his measure was a very considerable concession, the house would preserve the country from such a state of things by agreeing to the second readily , of the bill. Lord WOUSLEY defended himself from the charge of in consistency in the course he had pursued upon the subject of the corn laws, and expressed his intention to vote against the second reading of the bill. After a few observations from Sir C. NAPIER, the house divided, and the second reading was carried by a majority of 284 to 176. DEATH OF WILLIAM GRANT, ESQ, This universally-beloved man died on the 28th February last, at his house, Springside, near Manchester. The bene volence of this gentleman has been rendered interesting to the public by the pen of Mr. Dickens, who has depicted him, in conjunction with his brother, under the character of the "'Brothers Cheeryble." Mr. Giant was born in the year 1770. His father was a respectable farmer in Inverness-shire, from whence he removed about the year 1793, in consequence of a flood which not only swept away his flocks and his crops, but also the very soil he cultivated, leaving sterile gravel in its place. His son, with a d e ep feeling of gratitude t o Provi dence for the means of usefulness, used often to remark on this seeming destruction of all the hopes of the family, that it was, infact, the opening to wealth and to beneficial influ enee. The father and son found employment at Messrs. Dinwiddie and Co.'s print-works, near Bury, where 'William served his apprenticeship ; and so able and so trustworthy was he found, that before its termination, and while yet a mere youth, he had many offers of partnership. These, however, he declined, his design being to join his younger brothers, whom he had established in business in Bury, and who had been very successful. Their after-progress was what might have been expected from the union of able men of business, all banded together for one common interest, all distinguisbed for integrity, each having his own department, and each discharging its duties with judgment, zeal, and industry. If any thing was remarkable in their achievement of wealth and station, it was that riches were not accumulated by penurious savings 'of niggardly economy, but kept steadily and swiftly progressive, notwithstanding liberal . and, as many called it, profuse hospitality, and notwithstanding tens-of thousands of pounds were given away from the common fa mily purse in acts of charity and mercy. As the deceased was *ell-known in Liverpool, and his memory highly re spected, we give the following examples of his unobtrusive munificence, which we find, amongst many others, in the Illartchestei. Times. Mr. Grant was a staunch conservative in politics, and his profuse liberality forms a striking con trast to the griping propensities of the members of the Anti-Corn-Law League. A young student was consumptive, and his chance for life was removal to a warmer climate, which he could not afford. It was Mr. Grant's object to devise a pious fraud, by which he could serve the young man without offending his pride. He said, " We have a vessel which is to touch at M-. The captain will be glad to have your company so far, and our correspondent will find you lodgings at a cheap rate." The student resolved'to go. A few days before he sailed Mr. Grant-said : "We are sending a young man to our agent by the vessel you sail in. Will you be kind enough to pay him some attention on the voyage ? " The young man was really sent as his nurse ! On their arrival at M-, the agent in vited the student to his house until he could procure lodgings for: him, but day after day had to invent fresh excuses for not finding , them. At last he said : "It is such a comfort to me to have an Englishman to talk to that you would do me a great favour if you would take up your abode with me." All this had been arranged beforehand. But death came not withstanding. " Poor fellow ! " said Mr. Grant—" But I have the consolation of thinking that he never found 'out how we had managed for him." A girl, twelve years of age, the daughter of a humble friend, had attracted much of his notice by her honest de meanour and that premature thoughtfulness and develope ment of intellect which often mark those who are destined to an early removal from the cares of this world. Seeing her one day timidly approaching Mr. Grant with a little box in her hand, her mother said: " She wants to beg from you, sir." " Well, my dear child, what do you want with the money that goes into your box ? " "We lay out part of it in coals, and part of it in flannel for the poor." Well, here is a sovereign ; put ten shillings of it in your box, and buy something pretty for yourself with the other ten." The next time she came there was - a request that she might be allowed to put it all into the box. " Oh, certainly," he said, but there is a sovereign to be spent in something 'for yourself." That also, on reflection, was begged for the box, and another was given in its stead, and thus he Went on, alternately pleasing and puzzling the child. " God bless her," he said, "she is too good for this world." And so she was. " She has gone to heaven," he said, when he heard of her death, and the big tears rolling down his own cheeks when he talked to her father of submission to the will of God. A tradesman became bankrupt when engaged for Mr. Grant upon some - work which required them frequently to consult together. When it was finished, and they were talk ing about it, the former was called out of the room. In his absence Mr. Grant said to a mutual friend who had hap pened to call; "Do you think -- is in want of money ? He was unexpectedly pulled down, and, although he is em ployed by the assignees, he may be pinched enough. Do you think he would be affronted if I made him a present ?" And before waiting for an an sw e r , be added — " I'll run the risk— it is better that I should run the risk of offending him than he should suffer." When the tradesman returned, and the friend had retired, Mr. Grant said—" Your assignees must send in their account and it will be paid ; but it is not right I should have put you to so much extra trouble for nothing ; your time is yotir money. You must accept of this as a little return for the trouble I have put you to"—attempting to put some ten or twelve sovereigns into the other's hand. The tear started into the man's eyes : " I see your intent, Mr. Grant. You think I may be in want, and you delicately try to make me a present under pretence of payment for my time. I cannot take it, but I promise you that if ever I should be unable to support my wife and fam il y , the first man I apply to for assistance will be William Grant." "Do you make me that promise solemnly ?" " I do indeed." " Then give me your hand. A man like you is not easily to be put down ; but if you ever should be in want, you know where you have a friend." He liked to enable the benevolent to relieve the cases of distress which were presented to them, and thus to make them share with himself in the pleasure of contributing to human happiness. " You must haVe a ..tiumber of poor people ap plying to you for relief in these bad times," he said to a lady a few weeks ago. " I have indeed," she replied, " and I am sorry I have so little to give to really decent people who have been reduced in circumstances." " Will you be kind enough, my dear lady," said he, " to take these two sove reigns and distribute them for me ?" " Oh, Mr. Grant," said the lady, " the blessing of them that are ready to perish will be upon you." Christmas before last he came to us. " This is very cold weather, and the poor people must be badly off for want of fire. I should like to make a number of houses and hearts warm on Christmas Day, and you will - do me a great favour if you will see to the distribution of twenty tons of coals in single hundred weights; only don't put it in the newspaper. Many years ago a warehouseman published a scurrilous pamphlet, in which he endeaVoured, but very unsuccessfully, to hold up the house of Grant - Brothers to public ridicule. William remarked that the man would live to repent what he had done, and this was conveyed by some tale-beardr to the libeller, who said : " Oh, I suppose he thinks I shall, some time or other, be in his debt, but I will take good care of that." It happens, however, that a man in business cannot er . editori, t repent of his sudaeii not obtain his certificate without their signature, and without it he could not enter into business acain. Be had obtained the number a What! they signatures required - by the bankrupt law folly to hove that the firm of It seem the brothers duly the deficient} who had cruelly been made the laughing-stocks of the public, t the wrong and favour the wrong -doer! He despaired. laims of a wife and children forced him at last to application. H ambled by misery he presented himself minting-house of the wronged. Mr. Grant was alone, e first words to the delingt.ent were, ` Shut the door, sternly uttered. The door was shut, and the libeller stood remblirw, before the libelled. He told . his tale, and pro- But the c duced his certificate, which was instantly clutched by the it jured merchant. " You wrote a pamphlet against us once, exclaimed Mr. Grant. The supplicant expected to parchment thrown into the fire.! But this was not its des tination. Mr. Grant took a pen, and writing something upon the document, handed it back to the bankrupt. He, poor wretch, expected to see " rogue, scoundrel, libeller," inscribed ; but there was, in fair, round characters, the signa ture of the firm ! "We make it a rule," said Mr. Grant, " never to refuse signing the certilicateof an honesttradesman, and we have never heard that you were anything else." The tears started into the poor man's eyes. " Ali," said Mr. Grant, " my saying was true. I said you would live to repent writing that pamphlet. I did not mean it as a threat. 1 only meant that some day you would know us better, and repent you had tried to injure us. I see you repent of it now. " I do, I do," said the grateful man. " I bitterly repent it." " Well, well, my dear fellow, you know us now. How do you get on? What are you going to do ?" The poor man stated that lie had friends who could assist him when his cer tificate was obtained. " But how are you off in the mean • time ?" . And the answer was, that having given up every farthing to his creditors, he had been compelled to stint his family of even common necessaries that he might be able to pay the cost of his certificate. "My dear fellow, that will not do, your family must not suffer. Be kind enough to take this ten-pound note to your wife from me—there, there, my dear fellow—nay, don't cry—it will he all well with you yet. Keep up your spirits, set to work like a man, and you will raise your head amongst us yet." The overpowered man en deavoured in vain to express his thanks. The swelling in his throat forbade words. He put his handkerchief to his face and went out crying like a child. A)Dtpping *ittellignicr.

Oats, Barley, and Beans very difficult to quit, and progress can only be made by acceeding to a reduction of 1s per qr on each. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, 111AucH 9. The business is very limited this morning, at the prices of last marlset .day. The arrivals of foreign Wheat are considerable • 12.000 garters having gone into bona during the last three days. The supplies of English are, however, so inferior, as to be taken very sparingly by the millers, and there is'a large stock of Irish Oats of a similarly very interior kind. Some of the Scotch Oats are rather better in quality, and these are taken at firmer rates. March 3 LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 8. The fair demand experienced yesterday, both from the trade and exporters, has continued throughout to-day, and fully 2,500 bales have been sold, which, for Tuesday, is better than an average business.
