He feared there was some under current at work to prevent Mr. Harris from reaping the reward of the important service he had rendered to the navy. that after such a strong report from the commissioners the plan of Mr. Harris should be gene rally adopted in the navy, and fair compensation should be given to that gentleman for the invention.

This question was not answered, and the motion, on being put by the Speaker, was agred to. Mr. PAKINGTON obtained leave to bring in a bill to alter the mode of electing coroners. The principal alterations he proposed were to shorten the period for taking the votes, and to have the right of voting the same as that which con ferred the franchise for parliamentary elections. Upon the second reading of the bill for conferring a pc sion on Lord Keane, Lord ScYmoua, in a reply to a question from Mr. Hume, said there was no objection to lay upon the table a record of the services of Lord Keane. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS,—FRIDAY On the motion that the trial of the Earl of Cardigan be printed, Lord ELDON drew the attention of their lordships to an expression of satisfaction in the address of the Attor ney-General at the absence of " moral delinquency" in the case. He was ready to make all allowance for the feelings of individuals, but as the house had expressed no opinion on the subject, and as the trial had g one off on a question wholly irrelevant, he wished the subject to be noticed; lest it should be thought that their lordships concurred in the sentiments to which he referred.

If it be true, as we understand it is, that £1,500,000., with the loan of £500,000., will complete the line to Exeter, and the rent and toll will pay 6 per cent. on the total outlay, and 5 per cent. be paid for the loan, the shareholders will receive at the rate of Al rprth +h.:. •ge discount capital; making a good thing for those who have bought .

OF CARDIGAN.--1 a correspondent.)—Such was the doubtful character of the issue of the late trial in the House of Lords, entertained by the Earl of Cardigan and his legal advisers, that his lordship, in the event of being found guilty of felony, and to prevent, in that case, the whole of his property being forfeited to the Crown, executed, some ti me b e f or e, a deed of gift, assignin g over the whole of his valuable possessions to Viscount Cur zon, the eldest son of Earl Howe, the latter nobleman having married a sister of Lord Cardigan. It is stated, that the legal expenses of this transfer of property, arising from fines upon copyholds, and the enormous stamp duties, amounted to upwards of XlO,OOO. As the deed is stated to have been enrolled in due form, the same expences will now have to be again incurred to effect a re-transfer of the property from Viscount Curzon to his lordship. Should the statement of our informant regarding the stamp duties payable to govern ment be correct, they will not only most amply defray all the expences incurred by the country in fitting up the House of Lords, &c., but leave a very handsome surplus.—Times. that th _ branch of busines but one class of law t ed judges would be confined to this one The Commissioners of Bankrupts bad dminister, yet no failure was alleged in their department. He:would no Y t'enter into details, wnich would be more conveniently discussed in committee. Mr. HUME said there was a simple way of terminating all difficulties—by giving in this bill, as in the Irish bill, a defi- nition of the franchise. He did not see why the two coun tries should be differently dealt with in this particular. (This homely remark, coming from such a quarter, was much cheered.) Colonel SIBTHORP wished to know what salaries would be proposed? Lord JOHN RUSSELL answered that this would be stated in the committee. At present be would say only, that there would be a saving on the whole of £15,000 or £16,000 a-year. He had omitted the taxes, which he thought it inconvenient to insist upon in the franchise' but he had continued to re quire the rates, which he thought a sufficient safeguard. As to the definition of the franchise, that might be done by a separate bill. The case was not like that of the Irish regis tration, for there almost all the difficulties of registry arose from the state of the county franchise. Geutlemen opposite had been very emphatic in cheering Mr. Hume's proposal for uniformity between England and Ireland : did they wish to abolish the franchise of the 40s. freeholders in England, or to bestow that 40s. franchise upon Ireland? The bill was, then read a second tune. On the order of the day for the committee of supply, Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to a question from Sir R. PEEL respecting the boundary question, stated that commissioners for obtaining local information bad been sent out respectively by England and by the United States, but without concert. It was intended that a joint commission should be constitut ed, but the details were still under discussion. Sir R.

DREADFUL FIRI AT WYNYARD PARK, THE SEAT OF THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDJRRY, NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov (From a Correspondent of last night's London Standard) I regret to I tre to report to you that intelligence was received here this day, at noon, that a most destructive fire broke out last night at the princely mansion of the Marquis of Londonderry, at Wynyard Park, near Stockton. With the details Nie are at present wholly unacquainted, though rumour says the loss will be littte short of £lOO,OOO, I venture to think,however, there may be some exaggeration in so large an amount. The property is said to be very slightly, if at all covered by insurance. An overheated flue is reported to have been the cause of this sad calamity. (From the Sun of last night.) We have learned this morning with great regret the de struction of the noble edifice, of which the subjoined letters give melancholy accounts. It appears from these that the building is almost totally destroyed, and that the loss of pro perty is enormous. This celebrated mansion is distant about four miles and a half north by west from Stockton. It was erected on the site of the old mansion, by Sir Harry Vane Tempest, father of the Marchioness of. Londonderry, from a beautiful design by P. W. Wyatt, Esq., and the park within a few years has been greatly enlarged. It is difficult to say which is most worthy of admiration—the dignified simplicity exhibited in the exterior of the building,:or the judicious ar rangements in the interior, which combine the majesty of a palace with the comforts and conveniences of a domestic dwelling. , The walks and pleasure-grounds in the vicinage of the edifice harmonize well with the chaste design of the architect; artificial decoration, superb ornament, give place to the softer features of nature. A small rivulet, forming a beautiful canal, margined with wood and shady walks, meanders with easy curvatures through the park, and gives a delightful finish to the scene. The property of Wynyard has been held by a long succes sion of distinguished families. The inheritance was conveyed in marriage with Lady Frances, daughter of Sir Henry Vane Tempest, to the Marquis of Londonderry in Ireland, who, in 1823, was created Earl Vane, of the ,United Kingdom of Great Britain. TO THE EDITOR OF THE Stockton-upon-Tees, Saturday Evening, Feb. 20. SIR,—I beg to make your journal the medium of commu nicating a most appalling catastrophe which has happened in this vicinity—the destruction by tire of the magnificent and beautiful mansion at Wynyard, the seat of the Most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry. The writer of this letter has tened to the scene of the fire, and arrived there about half past one o'clock this morning. The conservatory. and alarge portion of elegant structure, were then in flames. He en deavoured to ascertain on the spot, as well as he could in the confusion which naturally occurred, how the accident had happened ; but all that be could learn was that the house- keeper, Mrs. Edgar, and two female servants, in the absence of the family, resided in the house ; that one a his lordship's game-watchers was out about half-past ten o'clock last night, to attract his atten- , n•proceeding ) join another watcher, at a ,t eleven o'clock he observed the flames issuing, as he thought, from the chapel, which had not been finished, but 3loyed. The been recently em of flues, from the overheating of which it is supposed the accident has arisen. The sad intelligence was immediately made known to the villagers of Wolveston, about a mile and a half from the noble mansion, and with all possible despatch at Stockton, when many individuals hastened with three fire engines to the spot, and did all that human aid could do in arresting the destructive element. It was, however, a most heart-rending scene to observe the rapid destruction of this pride and glory of the North, and containing some of the most costly and rarest articles of furniture, and many of them the gifts of crowned heads. There is no one, whatever his feelings may be towards the Marquis, either politically or otherwise, but must deeply sympathise with his lordship, the marchioness, and their family, on this sad event. That part of the building which comprises tbe Kitchens, and some portion of her lady ship's apartments, including the boudoir, though greatly da maged, have been preserved ; and by the spirited exertions of several individuals, particularly of two from Stockton, who might be named, nearly the whole of his lordship's paintir and a great portion of the most valuable furniture, books, and fittings up of the several apartments, though injured, of course, have been secured. The plate was altogether saved. The amount of loss sustained by this melancholy event cannot well he estimated, but I should venture to say that property of the value of three or four hundred thousand pounds was destroyed in a few hour. It is not known whether the pro perty was insured. His lordshiplis still abroad. It is to be regretted that suitable fire-engines were not kept on the premises, and there wanted some persons of .judgment and importance to direct the proceedings during the awful period. The fire is still burning, but the engines will no doubt be used until all appearance of danger is removed. I am, sir, your obedient servant, P. R. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.-Since this day week there has been rather a favourable change in our market, especially in the demand for both cloth and yarns, and though prices generally cannot be quoted higher than at that period, still some kinds of cloth are lid. a piece dearer, whilst all descriptions are saleable at prices not obtainable even on Saturday. Yarns are in much better demand, and in most numbers a slight advance may be obtained. LEEDS.—Though the stock of goods in the Piece Halls has increased both in bulk and assortment during the last ten days, the purchases by the mer c h an t s h ave b een very limited, the sudden check given to the dealing of the Ameri can houses by the recent intelligence from that continent not yet having been removed by the subsequent arrivals. In the warehouses chiefly connected with our domestic trade there is a good business doing in fabrics suitable for the spring and summer season. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. IG.—The change from severe to mild weather, had its effect on this market to-day, so that the choice in goods was greater, and buyers more nu merous, who purchased freely. The demand was principally in middle and low fancy woollens, and light waistcoatings and ladies' dresses. Prices are firm and confidence gradually increases. Wools are slightly looking up. BRADFORD MARKET.—The transactions in the Piece Hall here, on Thursday, were on a more extensive scale than those of any market-day for the last three or four weeks, and prices were considered very firm, though no material im nrovement can be quoted. The yarn market was also brisker than of late, which caused the spinners to bold on for an advance, and on some sorts they succeeded to a small ex tent. The wool market did not, however, manifest the same improvement. The sales were rather limited, and prices un derwent no material variation. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, FEB. 15.—We have had rather a flat market to-day, but no change in prices. During the last week, another small manufacturer, who makes for the Blackwater market, has suspended payment. The wool staplers, as usual, will be the principal creditors. There is no change to report in the wool market. - -----. BARNSLEY.—The linen trade i s very . fiat at present ; maby of the warehouses are working short time, and a great many weavers are out of employment. CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 16.—There is more animation in the wool trade in this quarter than has been ex perienced for some time. Combing wools are in request by the staplers, who• purchased freely at better prices. The holders continue firm, with no appearance of giving way. There is no material alteration in the rates of other qualities of this article. HER MAJESTY.-it is stated in circles likely to be aware of the fact, that her majesty is again in an " interesting situ ation," at once exciting the hopes and sympathiesof herloyal subjects.—Government evening print. SHAMEFUL TREATMENT TO AN APPRENTICE.--At the Rochdale petty sessions, on Saturday last, Robert Brierley, a coal miner, was charged with having committed a shameful assault upon one of his apprentices, a boy named Kershaw, 12 years of age. The poor fellow kas been so beaten that he could neither sit nor stand, he was laid on the ground before the ben c h —h e h ad not l ess th an 26 wounds upon hi s b o d y . The master h a d f requen tly beaten h i m with a piece of wood which had a na il d r i ven t h roug h. Brierley said th e b oy was very disobedient. The magistrates cancelled the indentures and fined the master in £5, which was ordered to be given to the boy. THIRD EMITION. Standard o.ffice,.Three o'clock BIRKENHEAD FAlR,—Tins DAY This fair, being a new one, and some doubt and uncertain ty existing as to its being held at all, has caused the attend ance to be rather slack. There is no doubt, from the great facilities offered by the railway to Chester, that if the Birk enhead fairs were made more public they would be extremely well attended, while the excellent prices at all times obtained on all descriptions of stock ought to prove a sufficient encou ragement to the farmers-in the neighbdurhood to bring down their produce. In the cow fair we saw some very likely calvers, at £l6 to £22. There were two or three fat beasts, which fetched high prices, varying from £22. to £25. There were very few sheep, but high rates were obtained for them. There were a few pigs, for which 30s. to 40s. were asked, too high prices for their value. In the horse fair were many very serviceable animals, some good useful cart horses were shown, but high prices were asked for all sorts. If this fair were well supported, we are confident that it would become one of some consequence. We saw many respectable dealers from Liverpool, who would doubtless have laid out their money if prices could have tempted them. We were sur prised to find that there was no cheese pitched. Consider- in; the very excellent prices obtained at the last fair, we should have thought it would have been worth the while of the farmers to bring their dairies forward. More publicity must be given to the next fair, and there is no doubt that the at tendance will be better. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tni s DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN fir SONS' Circular.) The small imports up to Friday's market, added to those in subsequently, form a moderate supply of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, coastwise and from Iffeland ; but very little Grain of other kinds thence, and none from abroad since this day se'nnight : of Irish Oatmeal and Flour, however, the re ceipts, compared with those of several preceding weeks, are rather liberal ; and of the latter, direct from the American States and New Brunswick, the arrivals amount to 6705 barrels. At our market this morning, the holders of Wheat con- tinued to manifest a considerable degree of firmness, and succeeded in establishing a further advance upon the improved rates of Friday, making the rise 2d. to 3d. per 70Ibs. over those of Tuesday last, which applies more generally to all sorts of Irish and Foreign, than to English, the latter hardly supporting a corresponding amendment ; the millers, how ever, being disinclined to buy freely, the transactions on the whole were only moderate. English, Irish, and Foreign - free Flour, being more salea ble, the latter must be noted 6d per barrel dearer. Up to yesterday barrel Flour continued in good request, and about 16,000 barrels having passed into second hands since this day week, States Brands realized 255. 6d. to 265. per barrel; but the demand having abated, no further sales of moment have been made to-day. In Barley, Malt, Bcais, and Pease no material change was perceptible. The increased supply of Oats having been met by a free demand, the bulk has been tolerably well cleared, at an ad vance of id. per 45 lbs.; and Oatmeal readily commanded 6d. per sack over the terms of this day se'nnight.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT OF A HUSBAND TO MURDER HIS WIFE.—A young man named Thomas Potts, a calico printer, residing at Mitcham, and who has only been married about 18 months, left home on Tuesday, and did not return until nine o'clock at night, and he immediately went into the room where his wife was sitting with her mother, and without say ing a word he pulled a pistol from his pocket, presented it at his wife, and fired it off, and the greater portion of its con tents passed through her cheek. A labouring m an w h o was passing came into the house and se ized hold of Potts, and after a struggle forced him into a chair, and held hi m t h ere until West, the Beadle of Mitcham, arrived and secured him. The prisoner then said, " I have done it-1 have done it— I have murdered my wife, and I hope I shall be hung." The constable asked him what he had done with t h e p i stol, and he produced the one he had just discharged at his wife. West then searched him, and in one of his pockets he found ano tier pistol loaded to the muzzle, and in his coat pocket a razor, and he asked Potts what he was going to do with the razor, and he replied that he intended to have destroyed him self with it after he had killed his wife. Mr. Tipper, a medi cal gentleman of Mitcham, had by this time arrived, and he ascertained that the woman bad received a very severe injury, and he administered to her the necessary assistance. The prisoner was on Thursday brought before the magistrates, but as his wife was not in a condition to give evidence, be was remanded for a week.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, FEE. 19 Sugar.--There is still a good demand, particularly for the better descriptions of B. P., with which the market is very barely supplied, and the sales are 450 hhds., at rather higher prices. Bengal con tinues to be offered very freely, and nearly 12,000 bags have been taken, without much alteration in price. No Mauritius at market. Nothing is reported in Foreign, Bonded Refined, or in Molasses. Coffee.—The sales of Plantation are to a moderate extent, com prising* 120 casks of Jamaica, at steady prices. A small parcel of Mocha was sold at the quotations, 15 casks, 70 bags of fine Java at 65s to 665, 1350 bap damaged La Guayra at 36s 9d to 44s 3d, and 240 bags damaged St. Domingo at 30s to 39s per cwt. Nothing done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento. 100 bags black Pepper sold at 31d to 4d per lb. Rice is scarce, and the sales are confined to a small lot good Bengal at 15s 6d per cwt. Rum.—The business con sists of 200 casks, chiefly fine Demerara, at the quotations. Tea.—There h'as been a fair inquiry for common and good Congous, and prices remain without alteration. A few chests Bengal Indigo were sold at 5s 6d, and 10 seron of Caraccas at as per lb in bond. A small sale of Shell Lac is re ported at 42s to 47s ; Tincal at 46s ; and Gum Arabic at 445. 60, . bags Pearl Sagy and 60 tuns Cutch 'have been sold, but the price is not named. There is a better inquiry tor good Saltpetre, and ex. tensive sales have been made, and an advance of 6d obtained ; the quantity sold is 4200 bags. prineipally at 24s 6d to 28s. 500 bags Nitrate of Soda have been taken at 21s 3d to 21s 6d per cwt. Dyewoods.—There are no sales to notice this week in any des criptions. The demand for Turpentine is rather languid, and for 1100 brls. of middling quality 12s 6d has been accepted. In Tar no sales. Montreal Pot Ashes are rather lower, and there are sellers at 29s 6d. Pearls exceedingly dull. Hides.—The market continues very dull, and the only sales reported are 600 dry salted Pernambuco at Odd, with 289 dry at 54d, and 3000 good dry salted East India Kips, at loid for sound, 7- E id for Ist rubbed, and Gd per lb for 2nd rubbed. Tobacco has been in good demand, and the sales reach 400 hits., of which about 80 were leaf for Ireland. 40 for exportation, and nearly 150 of different kinds on speculation. All kinds are very firm, and in some cases a little higher. The business done in Brimstone has again been on a limited scale, without change in prices. Nothing worthy of Notice has been clone in Sumac, Argols or Cream of Tartar. Of Persian Berries, 40 bales have been sold at previous prices. Madders and Roots continue in moderate demand. No sales in quercitron Bark. For Olive Oil there has been rather more inquiry than for some weeks past, and stocks being very small, extreme prices continue to be maintained for the small sales which have been effected. A dull market still prevails for all kinds of Fish Oils ; the business is con fined to small transactions, chiefly amongst the Dealers, and prices are rather lower. Pale Rape Oil has been less sought after, but the price - is steady. Linseed Oil has attraeted some attention for forward delivery, but there are very few sellers, and, on the spot, last week's prices would hardly now be accepted. Oil of Tupentine has been sold, in some instances, a shade under the annexed quota tion; but a fair extent of business has been done at 555, the de mand having improved. Palm Oil has again receded a little : but the reduction has brought an improved demand. and nearly 300 tons have been sold this week, at 31. 108 10 .e 33 per ton ' • 100 tons were also sold for future delivery, at a lower rate, but by a speculator, in anticipator: of lower prices, and the sale cannot be taken as an accurate criterion of the state of the market. In Hemp and Flax the sales have been unimportant ; prices without altera tion. Tallow continues dull of sale, and limited transactions only take place in in yellow Candle, at about 48s ; 100 pipes South American have been sold at 38s to 43s and 3d, being a decline of Is 6d per cwt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 19. The market opened with an improved demand, which was con siderably increased by the arrival, on Monday morning, of the steamer from the United states, and estimates of the crop being further reduced. Towards the middle of the week business became very animated, and an advance of id to id per lb was readily paid for the common to fair qualities of American ; in other descriptions there was little or no change, with the exception of Surat, which was rather dearer. Duririg the last two days the demand has been less extensive, but the advance is maintained. Speculators have taken 17,300 American hnd 700 Surat, and Exporters 4.50 American ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF corrTox, From the Igth instant, to this day, inclusive.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 2O During the last seven days we have had a fair sapply of Wheat, Barley, and Malt coastwise, and upwards of 10,000 loads of Oat meal from Ireland. The arrivals of other descriptions of free Grain, as well as those of Flour have been moderate. The week's imports from abroad comprise 700 quartets of Beans and 12,900 barrels of Flour, the latter from the United States. Without any thing like an extensive vend for Wheat, but under a fair, steady demand for consumption, holders here have beer, very firm, and have been enabled to establish an advance generally of 2d per 7015 s on our last quotations. Free Flour has met a moderate sale at previous rates. Oats have continued in small supply the de. mand, however, has not stepped beyond the wants of necessitous buyers, and no material alteration has occurred in their value : 3s ud to 3s 21d per 4511 ts has been paid for a few fine mealing. Oatmeal has latterly sold rather more freely at 27s to 27s 6d per 2401b5. Most of the roundland Barley as been cleared off at 37s to 39s per - quarter for grinding qualities . Irish and Foreign have met little inquiry and are rather cheaper. No change as regards Beans or Peas. Up to yesterday inclusive, about 8,000 barrels of United States Flour had changed hands, in bond, at 34s 6d; and, to-day, 2,000 barrels have been sold at 25s per barrel. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT.
