The book commences with the acces- " because," as Bruce, instead of a great king, might, like Richard the First, have become only a kingly knight-errant. But from this error he was saved by the love of his country, directed by an admirable judgment, and unshaken perseverance, and a vein of strong good sense. It is here, although some may think it the homeliest, that we are to find assuredly the brightest part of the character of the king. It is these qualities which are especially conspicuous in his long war for the liberty of Scotland. They enabled him to follow out his plans through many a tedious year with unde viating energy : to bear reverses, to calculate his means, to wait for his opportunities, and to concentrate his w hole strength upon one great point, till it was gained and secured to his country for ever. Brilliant military talent and con summate bravery have often been found amongst men, and proved far more of a curse than a blessing ; but rarely in deed shall we discover them united to so excellent a judg ment, controlled by such perfect disinterestedness, and em ployed for so sacred an end. There is but one instance on record where he seems to have thought more of himself than of his people, and even this, though rash, was heroic. DISCOVERY OF BRUCE ' S BODY. Immediately after the king's death, his heart was taken out, as he had himself directed. He was then buried with great state and solemnity under the pavement of the choir, in the Abbey Church of Dunfernline, and over the grave was raised a rich marble monument, which was made at Paris. Centuries passed on, the ancient church, with the marble monument, fell into ruins, and a more modern build ing was erected on the same site. This, in our own days, gave way to time ; and in clearing the foundations for a third church, the workmen laid open a tomb which proved to be that of Robert the Bruce. The lead coating in which the body was found enclosed, was twisted round the head into the shape of a rude crown. A rich cloth of gold, but much decayed, was thrown over it ; and, on examining the skeleton, it was found that the breast-bone had been sawn asunder, to get at the heart. There remained, therefore, no doubt, that after the lapse of almost five hundred years, his countrymen were permitted, with a mixture of delight and awe, to behold the very bones of their great deliverer. Dear Sister Iremember thee. Words by W. Collier, Esq Music composed by F. H. S. Pendleton. Dublin Robinson. This very charming ballad, arranged in three fiats (the best key to sing in), has just made its appearance in Dublin. Mr. Pendleton has written some very pretty music to some tasteful words. We can confidently recommend this ballad as a talented composition. Farmers' Magazine. May. Rogerson : London. Two cleverly executed plates embellish this month's num ber. The first, " a Leicester Prize Ram ;" the second, " The Cover Side." There are many interesting subjects brought before the notice of the agriculturist. Amongst them are descriptions of the Plates :—Uses of Botany and Chemistry, in Agriculture—On GrowingTurnips—On Vege table Life—Reports of Agricultural Associations and Clubs —On the use of Nitrate of Soda as Manure—On Restrictions in Cropping—On Thick Sowing—Plug Draining—Landlord and Tenant—Enclosure Bills—Vegetable and Animal Nutri tion—The Art of Culture—On Grass Seeds—On Leases — Rotation Crops—On the Management of Clay Laud — Manures, Rural Chemistry—Value of Land—Effect of Coloured Light on Plants—and many other matters. The New Monthly Belle Assembile Rogerson May. London La Belle contains this month a portrait of the Countess Dowager of Errol, and three coloured plates of the straight nosed, spider-waisted beauties, that generally embellish this periodical. Some of the costumes are tasteful. The tales and poems are of all sorts. Not having had the numbers of this periodical sent regularly, we cannot give an opinion of the " continued" articles. Some of the poetry this month appears of a better character than usual. The magazine would be greatly improved, if the writers of the historiettes would finish their works off more pleasantly. There is quite sadness enough in this breathing world, without having it staring one in print. This month's number will serve to amuse for a passing hour or two, and will be much relished by the ladies for whose especial reading it is intended. The Sportsman. May. London : Rogerson This periodical is embellished with two engravings—the " Pheasant and Wood Pigeon," drawn by Kidd, and engraved by Westley ; the second, " A Halt in the High lands" drawn and engraved by Beckwith. These plates are " written up to" in pleasant articles. " Recollections of a Christmas Day" is a meagre story of the adventures of two " assistants." " The Trip into Berkshire" serves (as in another instance) to puff off Mr. Westley Richard's guns. " Prospective Glances of Meetings to come" is a smartish article, by Touchstone. " The Field, by Terra," is a sort of sporting conversation between " Goodchap" and " Oddfel low." about dogs and guns and all those sorts of things. Calder Campbell's " Evening Rhapsody" is a tasteful little poem. " Wanderings by the Lakes of Ireland" promises well as a commencement. The " Row, Flirtation, and a Duel," is continued. " Monday Morning, or a Glance at Tattersall's," is the commencement of an article which pro mises well ; the subject is a good one, and if the " Looker on" has his eyes about him, he may amuse the readers of the Sportsman for many a month. " A Day at Vallery Sur Somme" is an agreeable paper by Flask, detailing some good sport in France. " Some Passages in the Life of a Gamester" is a continuation of a tale, the commencement of which we have not seen, for the reason assigned in the review ..... .. , of another periodical. It appears well written, and contains some startling incidents. The other contents are, " Re miniscences of an Old Fellow"—" The Turf"—and " The Turf Calendar." The English Journal. Part IV. How and Parsons, Flee This is the first number we have seen of this periodical, which it appears is issued weekly, as well as in monthly parts. It contains some remarkably clever articles and papers, arid the names of some of our most esteemed writers may be found upon its pages. The Rev. S. Blair—Horace Smith — Mrs. J. C. Hall—T. K. Hervey—Mrs. Alaric Watts—W. Cooke Taylor, L.L.D.—L. A. Twamley, are all contribu tors. There are selections also from Mrs. Hemans, John Galt, and the late J. Smith. The work is beautifully got up, and contains in double column, sixty-three pages of closely printed matter—and for how much money ? For sixpence ! Verily this publication ought to be supported most liberally, it is very cheap—very instructive, and very amusing. Smallwood. May. Smallwood, Bond-street, London. This month Mr. Morris continues his clever and philoso phic article. "The Dentist of Frankfort," by Miss Muckles• ton, is continued. We regret we did not see the commence• ment of the story, we cannot pay it a higher compliment " Blind Man's Buff"—the clever Byronic tale is also con. tinued. Mr. Hannam shows his erudition, and classical knowledge in a pleasant paper on the Secular poem of Horace, Lyra Latialis. In this paper a most interesting anecdote of Incledon, and the effect of his singing the High Mettled Racer, is told. " The Conscience Stricken" is a Germanic tale of horror. A Matter of moonshine—is—a matter of moonshine. The description of the almond tree is very interesting and instructive. " A Mysterious Affair" only requires to be arranged with stage business—and it is a farce fit for the stage. The " Reviews" seem fairly and well written The London Edinburgh Magazine. Smith. London.

The Exchequer Bills bill, the Excise Collection and Ma nagement bill, and the Banking Co-partnership bill, were severally read a third time and passed. Several petitions were presented for and against any alter ation in the corn laws. A number of petitions against any alteration, presented by the Duke of Rutland, led to some discussion upon the policy, as well as upon the results conse quential upon the enactment of those laws, in which Earl Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Ripon, the Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Stradbroke, the Duke of 'Wellington, the Earl of Radnor, Lord Ellenhorough, and Lord Ashburton took part. The latter noble lord, in the course of his speech, attacked the government for having taken measures, by means of their officers, to excite agitation throughout the country upon the• subject of the corn laws: While the noble viscount (Mel bourne) opposed last year any alteration in those laws, seve ral of his officials were examined before the committee on the import duties, and the whole of their evidence was calcu lated to excite agitation on this subject. The commission to inquire into the state of the hand-loom weavers also adopted the same course ; for although Mr. Senior, at the outset, de clared that the distress of the hand-loom weavers was in no way attributable to the corn laws, yet his whole report was directed to excite a feeling againSt those laws. The Earl of CLARENDON rose to give the most unqualified contradiction which the forms of the house would admit of to the charge made by the noble lord that they had excited agi tation against the corn laws. The report referred to by the noble lord was so important, that it had been reprinted in almost every European country, and had no difficulty in stating that no expression was to be found in it so strong as those contained in speeches formerly delivered by the noble lord who made the charge. and which formed The most valu able repository to be found in the English language against the arguments which he now held to the house. The noble lord formerly contended that the corn laws cost the country £18,000,000 a-year•, which did not go to the revenue, but into the pockets of the landlords, in which case to the pre sent time the country would have paid nearly £400,000,000 on account of those laws. An argument so well calculated to excite agitation as this was not to be found in the report the noble lord complained of. Lord ASHBURTON said that formerly, when the corn laws were first enacted, it was proposed by Sir H. Parnell that the importation price should be 84s, the government pro• posed to fix it at 80s, and the amount of his proposition was that it should be only 765. Some reflections pronounced by the Earl of Wicklow on the conduct of Viscount Melbourne, who had left the house, produced a warm rejoinder from the Marquis of Normanby, in the course of which he stated that every item of the govern ment plan respecting the import duties was decided upon long before Easter, and was not the result of anything which had since occurred. Some petitions against the corn laws were presented by arl Fitzwilliam, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The adjourned debate on the sugar duties was resumed by Sir C. GREY, who supported the government proposition and contended that those who were interested in the main tenanance of the colonial monopoly, had ample warning of the change of system now proposed. Mr. SMYTIIE was of opinion that the injury which the proposed measures would inflict upon the colonies, would far outweigh any advantages which could accrue to the re venue, or to the consumer in this country. Mr. AINSWORTH was of opinion that great commercial advantages would be the result of a more liberal policy being pursued towards Brazil, and that the measure proposed by government would have the effect of largely contributing to the relief of the distress which at present prevailed through the country. Mr. HODGES would support all the propositions of the government with the exception of that relating to a fixed duty on corn, which he could not agree to. Mr. TROTTER was of opinion that the importation of corn would be of necessity followed by an increased export of anufactures. Mr. W. Rocur supported the Chancellor of the Ex iequer's propositions, which were also supported by Mr. LIFNELL. Mr. G. H. CAVENDISH would support the propositions of the Government, in the hope that, in committee, means would be devised to render the proposed measure more gradual in coming into operation. Mr. MATHEW united in the policy of the West Indian proprietors, of whom he was unfortunate enough to be one —and with the landlords, in rallying upon this occasion for their mutual preservation. When he perceived the same persons who had advocated the abolition of slavery now supporting the proposed alteration of the sugar duties, he could scarcely help thinking that the abolition of slavery was carried for party purposes alone. Sir B. H ALL said, that a property tax was the only alter native to the adoption of the measures proposed by Govern ment. He sincerely hoped that if Government should be beaten, as no doubt they would be upon the present ques tion, that they would, notwithstanding, bring forward•their proposition respecting the corn-laws ; and if defeated, as they would also be upon that proposition, he, trusted they would appeal to the country for its opinion upon their pro jected measures. Mr. STRUTT contended that if there was any weight in the argument that the consumption of slave-grown sugar would lead to an increase or continuance of slavery, the parties who adduced it should, in common consistency, advocate the passing of an act to prohibit intercourse with slave-holding countries. Mr. M. PHILLIPS said that no constituency in the king dom was more ardent in the cause of the abolition of slavery than that of Manchester, and yet they were favourable to the propositions of the Government. He had that day re ceived a letter from the secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society of Manchester, who informed him that out of the whole society there were but two individuals who advanced a single objection to the importation of foreign sugar under the pro posed restrictions. The honourable gentleman entered into details of the mode in which the trade with Brazil and other foreign countries was carried on with the view of showing that in carrying on that trade the people of this country could not be considered as lending any aid in promoting the slave trade. Mr. BARRON contended that Lord Sandon's proposition would, if carried out, perpetuate slavery in every country in which it now existed, and as a friend of humanity, therefore, he would support the financial measures of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. W. WILLIAMS advocated the measures proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE characterised the motion of Lord San don as one unparalleled in inconsistency, in barefaced dupli city, and in matchless hypocrisy, by any that he ever remem bered to have heard proposed in parliament. He gave hon. gentlemen on the opposite side of the house credit for being able to keep a secret, for there was no getting from any of them what it was that they thought ought to be done. His object in rising was to endeavour to procure for the poor distressed operatives of this country a portion of that sympa thy which they seemed so ready to lavish on the blacks. In stead of going to Cuba and Brazil for objects upon which to exercise their sympathies, they need not leave the metropolis to find an ample field in which to display their desire for ame liorating the condition of the poor. The hon. member read some accounts of the distress in Bethnal-green, Marylebone, and also in Birmingham, Burton-on-Trent, Loughborough, Nottingham, and other places, and said these were the people whose interests were overlooked in that house, while profess ing to extend protection to those in our colonies who did not require it. Mr. BRISCOE said that the country had arrived at an alarming crisis in its manufacturing prosperity, and unless some change took place in our commercial policy, he feared some most overwhelming consequences would supervene. If ministers had acted with less honesty, and proposed to deal with the sugar duties only, without saying anything about the corn laws, they would have escaped much of the opposi tion to which they were now exposed. Mr. MUNTZ said no man was more convinced than he was of the necessity of altering the import duties, but he doubted if the proposed alterations would increase the revenue to the extent supposed. He thought, however, the government should not confine itself to timber, corn, and sugar, but should extend their reduction of duty to all other articles. The only way in which the repeal of the corn laws could save the commercial interests would be by a reduction of wages. and by thus enabling them to compete with foreign coun tries ; but still it was impossible that things should remain in their present condition, and they must therefore either reduce the price of corn, and wages with it, or they must elevate the price of money to keep pace with that of corn. If they repealed the corn laws without altering the monetary system, the result would be that the lands of the country would pass from the hands of their present owners. The really honest course would be to lay on a property tax, both on land and on money, and to repeal a proportionate quan tity of theindirect taxation which pressed heavily on the poor. When the hon. gentleman sat down, Mr. SHEIL moved an adjournment, which was immediately agreed to. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY The royal assent was given by commission to a great num ber of public and private bills. Lord HASTINGS (late Sir Jacob Astley) took the oaths and his seat for the first time. Some petitions were presented for and against any altera tion of the corn laws. Their lordships then adjourned until Monday nest. e of Alexander 111., it is at this period 1 annals become particularly interesting to r.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY The adjourned debate was resumed by Mr. SHEIL, who contended that it was futile to struggle against the slave trade by means of differential duties, which raised the price of a necessary of life to the labouring classes without bene fiting any class of the community except the monopolists. The right hon. gentleman read several extracts from the opi nions of Mr. Huskisson, in order to show that he considered the corn laws in the light of a serious burden on the prodnc five classes of the country, and that they could not be con tinued. He denied the claim of the West Indian proprietors to the continuance of the monopoly as an integral portion of the indemnity to be given them for the emancipation of the negroes. The ransom paid by the people of England by its munificence dazzled the world, and it certainly ought to be considered as a receipt its full by the planters. He was astonished that the noble lord the representative for Liver pool (Lord Sandon) should have esteemed it almost a mutter of indifference whether the treaty with Brazil should be re newed or the contrary, and he much doubted whether the constituents of the noble lord would be equally indifferent. The right hon. gentleman concluded by expressing his belief that it was only by cultivating friendly relations with foreign powers that they could hope ultimately to abolish slavery, Mr. HERRIES said that the finances of the country had certainly been reduced to a most alarming condition. This he attributed to the government, who should have kept up a surplus revenue, and who were the first ministry in this coun try which had ever failed to keep up a surplus in time of peace. In war time it might be excusable if the expenditure exceeded the revenue, but such a state of things was un pardonable when the country was at peace. The right hon. gentleman charged the ministry with the most flagrant mal administration of the finances, thereby entailing a great na tional calamity on the country. They now proposed to re medy the evil by allowing the produce of our colonies to be displaced by foreign produce, the effect of which would be to g i v e, perhaps, a fatal blow to the experiment now in progress for the abolition of the slave trade—a conrse of proceeding which, be sincerely hoped, would not be tolerated by the house. Mr. VILLIERS expressed much disappointment that the right hon. gentleman had not pointed out what he thought should be the remedy for the serious evil he co m pl a i ne d o f. For his own part , he rejoiced at the progression o f d oc t r i nes which he had himself always advocated, and which, though formerly met with derision, had made so many conver t s th at all those who had spoken in the early stages of the debate avowed themselves advocates of free trade until the noble lord (Stanley) th rew a damp on their avowals of commerc i a l liberality. He did not hesitate to say that he looked upon protection as a positive tax upon the community at large for the advantage of a particular class. when the working classes of the people asked for protection against m ac hi ner y they were condemned for their ignorance, whereas there was nothing more absurd in such a proposition than in the c l a i ms to protection made by th e wealthier classes of the kingdom. The hon. gentleman read a number of communications in order to show the increa sed and increasing state of distress in Preston, Blackburn, and other places amongst the opera tives, as compared with what it was in former years. This distress was so intense, that it became in some places a sub ject of discussion amongst the poor, as to whether it was more criminal to take away t he life of a child before it knew the value of that life, or to let it live, telling it to eat if it could find food, knowing that it was almost impossible that it could, in its circumstances, be saved from the horrors of starvation. It was a cruel thing to the poor of our manu facturing districts to know that when they wanted employ ment the warehouses of Liverpool were bursting with Ame rican flour, when the manufacturers would have been glad to have taken for manufactured goods ; and "thus would have given the requisite food and employment, which these mono polising laws denied to the people. Sir E. KNATCHBULL regretted the length to which the debate had extended, because, during the eight days that it had lasted, all the great interests likely to be affected by the government propositions were placed in a state of incertitude, and were of necessity at a stand still as regarded commercial operations. He thought under such circumstances the go vernment were much to blame. in not inducing their sup porters to allow the debate to be brought to a close at an earlier period. The right hon. Bart. also animadverted se verely on the conduct of the government, in bringing forwaid measures which they must know they would never haiie it in their power to carry out. With respect to the proposition of laying a fixed duty of Ss. on the importation of foreign corn, it would be, he contended, quite as well if they pro posed to have no duty at all, for such a duty would be prac tically no protection whatever. He did not deny that great distress prevailed in the manufacturing districts, and that distress was quite as strongly sympathised with by hon. mem bers on his, as by those on the ministerial side of the house ; but he did deny that a repeal of the corn-laws would afford any relief to the distress which was admitted to exist. — In the hands of a strong and efficient government, he had no doubt but the energies of the country would restore it to ..- - its usual state of commercial prosperity. Mr. C. BULLER designated the resolution of Lord Sandon as a rare specimen of the most refined fanaticism, and stre nuously advocated the doctrines of free trade r more particu larly when, by adopting its principles, they were maintaining old, and opening new markets for the produce of the indus try of the country. The hon. and learned gentleman praised the ministry for their liberality in bringing forward the mea sures under discussion, and said that the people, in struggling for what was most dear to them, never battled under better auspices. Sir R. PEEL said that every argument was so exhausted by previous speakers, that he should not have risen were he not convinced that he had no alternative but to deliver his opinions before the debate was brought to a close. He must say, then, that it would neither be for the honour nor the interest of the country to open the markets of the country to slave-grown sugar; and being of this opinion, he would give his vote for the motion of his right hon. friend (Lord Sandon), totally apart from his opinions upon the corn laws or any other question. He took this course, not from any overwhelming moral principle which he thought connected with the subject, but from enlarged prudential considera tions, which led him to the conclusion, that it was better to continue the exclusion of foreign sugar. Any advantage to be derived in a financial point of view, would be more than counterbalanced by the injury to our colonies, where a measure of change was in operation, which hitherto had been more successful' than any great change that had ever been attempted in civilized society," and the completion of which might be materially interfered with by the proposition of the government. The right hon. bart. then read several passages from a pamphlet written by a Mr. Greg, which pamphlet was transmitted to him by a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester, on purpose to con vince him (Sir R. Peel) of the propriety of carrying out the principles of free trade. The various passages of the pamphlet supported the views of the question taken by the right hon. baronet, and concluded by insisting that the only way to discourage slavery was by the continuance of the existing discriminating duties on sugar. Thus the very pamphlet, which the deputation intimated would be certain to convince him, actually advocated the very opinions which he himself entertained. The right hon. baronet referred to some dreadful pictures, which had been drawn from authen tic sources, of the distress which sometimes pervaded the lower classes in India when the rice crop failed, and con tended that the cultivation of sugar would tend to give ex tensive employment in those regions under our own do minions, to which it was the duty of this country to attend, before it took into consideration the advancement of the prosperity of the slave-owners of Cuba or Brazil, to the destruction of the free-labour sugar of India. He confessed his astonishment at the altered tone which prevailed in that house upon the sublect of slavery, and his still greater astonishment at the argument that, by opening our ports to the competition of slave-grown with free-labour sugar, we were taking an efficient means of abolishing slavery. Upon these grounds he should vote for the motion of his noble friend (Lord Sandon), and in so doing he denied that he was actuated by anything like factious motives. If gen tlemen on his side of the house had been actuated by fac tious motives, the noble lord's (Lord J. Russell) position as a minister would have been far less secure than he had hitherto found it. The only ground for imputing faction to him (Sir R. Peel) was, that he was then pursuing the same course which the noble lord himself pursued last year, upon the same question, when brought forward by the hon. mem ber for Wigan (Mr. Ewart.) If, indeed, he had proposed a resolution that no measure could be proposed that could prove satisfactory without the admission of a principle, which it was not possible to carry—then, indeed, he might be deemed, although profiting by experience, factious to the last degree. He would be frank with hon. gentlemen on the other side of the house, and tell them that he was not adopting a course then, which; if called to office, be should next year repudiate. If in office now, he would take the course of encouraging in every way sugar the produce of free labour ; and suah, under any circumstances, would be his future policy. The right hon. baronet then adverted to the distress in the manufactur ing districts, the details of which no one could listen to without feelings of deep pain and commiseration ; and it would give him the greatest satisfaction if some remedy could be devised. Still, however, he did not see any reason for desponding, or becoming hopeless of the revival of our com mercial prosperity, which, he believed, had been only tem porarily depressed by the commercial difficulties prevailing, and which had for some time prevailed, in the United States. With respect to what were called the principles of free trade, although he would not apply them without considering well the circumstances under which they were to be so applied, yet he would say, that from no man in the House of Com mons had Mr. Huskisson received such warm and cordial support as from himself (Sir R. Peel) in carrying out those principles. But then they were to be carried out soberly and cautiously, and with the power of enacting the changes pro posed. With respect to the corn laws, he would not hesi tate to state his opinion upon them. He still adhered to the opinions he expressed last year, and preferred the graduated sliding scale to a fixed duty, though he believed that the prosperity of our manufacturing interests was more advan tageous to the agricultural interests than any system of corn laws. He did not mean to be understood as pledging him self to all the details of the present sliding scale ; he only meant to say, as he had said last year, that to the principle of the graduated scale he gave his adherence. He should oppose the proposition of the noble lord for a fixed duty, under the conviction that it could not be maintained. With respect to the timber duties, he would reserve to himself the unfettered right of action ; but he would ask the noble lord, in the first instance, to give him the information which he was in possession of from the Governor-General of Canada. He could not pronounce an opinion upon those duties with out considering not only the financial but the political bear ings of the question also. The Government, he contended, was mainly responsible for the financial crisis in which the country was now placed, but instead of coming forward with an acknowledgment of incapacity they came down to the house representing themselves as martyrs to the principles of free trade, and called upon him (Sir R. Peel) to furnish them with a budget ; and this after they had had their own way for five years, and had all the advantage of what they called cheap government. Notwithstanding all this they now found themselves with a deficit of over seven millions, and were calling upon him to extricate them from the difficulty. The right bon. baronet then referred to the various attempts that had been made in the course of the debate to draw from him his opinions as to the propriety of meeting the financial difficulties by means of a property tax, or by any other means, but he declined to give any opinion on the subject, destitute as he was, from his long absence from office, of the informa tion requisite to enable him to form a judgment. He would demand, if in office, from the House of Commons, an ex pression of confidence by not forcing him to give any prema ture opinion. He would ask for time to consider, giving to the house the pledge that he would turn his attention to the subject, admitting the principle that in the time of peace the revenue ought to be fully equal to meet the expenditure. The right hon. baronet concluded a speech of two hours and a half duration amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. Lord PALMERSTON contended that throughout the debate the weight of argument was most triumphantly on the side of ministers. So far was his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer from asking the right hon. baronet for a budget that he came prepared with one to supply the finan cial deficiency, not by means of fresh taxation, but by means of relieving the people from a portion of their present bur dens. The real question at issue was one between reason and prejudice—a question as to whether they were to allow the springs of the industry of the country to be choked up by the interests of private classes. The noble lord ridiculed the hypocrisy, as he called it, of excluding slave-grown sugar from our markets, on principle, while we made no scruple of refining it, and still less about allowing it to he freely con sumed in our West Indian colonies ; of course because it was assumed that the negroes had no consciences to deter them from using it. Lord J. RUSSELL entered into some explanations of some misconceptions formed relative to what he had said on a for mer occasion, and stated that after the division on the mo tion before the house, he would then move the resolution of which he had given notice, to the effect that it was possible to meet the deficiency in the revenue, by a judicious alteration of discriminative and protective duties, without laying any additional burdens on the people. On a division, the motion of Lord Sandon was carried by a majority of 317 to 281. Lord J. RUSSELL'S motion was then put from the chair, and negatived without a division. The house adjourned at four o'clock until Thursday. COURT OF ASSIZEg AT ROUEN DELIBERATE MURDER.—The Court of Assizes at Rouen was, a few days since, occupied with a trial of a man named Pierre Gustave Ferry, on a charge of murder. The circum stances attendant on this cold-blooded crime excited the attention of the public to a high degree, and the court was consequently very crowded. The prisoner was throughout the trial perfectly unmoved, and replied with calmness and sang-froid to the questions addressed to him by the presi dent. During the whole proceeding he did not exhibit the slightest feeling of sorrow for what bee d done. From his own confession, it appears that, on ight of the 28th of December last, he conceived the idea of murdering some one, when his attention was fixed on the widow Toussaint, a vene rable old woman, 76 years of age, and who was generally known by the appellation of the " Orphans' Mother,' in consequence of being in the habit of frequently adopting orphan children, and bringing them up at her own expense. At the time of her falling a victim to the murderous attack of the prisoner, she was residing with a man of the name of Doli tais, who had been left an orphan and had been brought u p b y her from an infant. He chose the time when he knew this in dividual was absent on his usual avocations, when he felt sure of finding his intended victim alone in the house. " I went to the house," said the prisoner, " about ten minutes past seven in the morning, but the widow was still in bed ; I knocked at the kitchen door, s he asked who was there, to which 1 answered It is Pierre. lam come to borrow your pitchfork to clean out the stable of your neighbour Romain Brument.' She got up, came in and kitchen, and gave me the fork, and then stooped down began picking up some bits of stick tat were strewed about near the chimney. While she was in this position , I laid hold of a cleaver that was lying on a table and struck he when I peated it three or r a re heav y blow with the flat of it. She fell fromthe b low, four times, and in about five minutes she was dead. I then broke open the cupboard in the kitchen, threw out the linen and articles of wearing apparel which it contained, and find ing a small bag containing money I put it into my pocket. I afterwards found it to contain about 30 francs in silver. I then opened other parts of the house and took all the money I could lay my hands on, but do not recollect the amount. I chatted with the old woman about five minutes before I struck her, and stopped in the house about ten minutes after she died, in examining the cupboards, drawers, &c. During the whole of the previous evening, I had been haunted with the idea that I must murder some one, and at first thought of venting my violence on a ma n of my acquaintance, wit h his wife and daughter, but something happened to prevent this taking place. I then thought on the widow Toussaint, and could not resist the impulse which hurried me to commit the deed." This confession he made on being first taken up for the crime, and repeated the s ame on his trial wi th the most perfect nonchalance. After a deliberate examination, the court pronounced a verdict of guilty, without extenua ting circumstances, and the pres ident immediatel y passed on him the sentence of death, an award which he heard with the same indifference as he had shown throughout the whole of the trial.

May 15, 1840. DISCHAROZD• In-patients cured lB Relieved and at own request 10 Made Out-patients Irregular . Dead LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 18. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6. Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain from Ireland and Coast ways have been very moderate ; but from Foreign Ports, and of Flour from America, they have been to a fair extent ;—The Corn Trade in this district has continued paralised during the past week, by the dubious result of the proposed alterations in the Corn Laws, though little or no alteration can be noticed in the prices of the past week. The weather has hitherto been favourable, and the ap pearance of the crops sufficiently forward, fully a much so through out Scotland as in this distriei. The duties payable on Grain from Foreign Ports remain the same as last week, and duties have been paid only on small quan tities, as sales can be made free to the millers ;—a general want of confidence in the passing of the Ministers' intended changes in the Corn Laws prevents speculation in bonded Grain, of which quota tions remain nearly as last quoted. At this (lay's market, there was rather more inquiry for Wheat from our millers and, dealers, who bought pretty freely for their immediate wants, add in some instances for fine fresh parcels of English and Foreign at an advance of Id to 2d per 701 b, but for other qualities, and for almost every other article in the Corn trade, the demand was very limited at about the prices quoted this day week, excepting for Beans which were is to 2s per quarter lower.

We have WZri7ail show Of Wheat at market 'this day, with an in. active demand for all descriptions. Prime Oats sold dull, at pre vious rates, and middling and inferior samples met a decline of from 3d to 6d per brl. The transactions in Oatmeal are very limited, being confined to those in immediate want. Bakers' Flour is with out alteration in value, and inferiors and thirds of good quality met a free sale at the reduction of this day se'nnight. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 20. For fine Butters, there has been, in the last day or two, an im proved retail demand. Much alacrity is however evinced by the trade, to meet purchasers ; and there is some difficulty in giving a correct quotation. The currency• of Waterford, Carlow, &c., has been ranging from 100 s down to 933 to 965. Pickled Butter comes in freely, and the only sales we have heard of since Tuesday, have been a few hundred firkins for the Brazilian markets at g6s to 988. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 17. In to-day's market the supply of beasts offering was, on the whole, tolerably good, but a large portion of it was much affected with the prevailing epidemic. Notwithstanding there was a nu merous attendance of both London and country buyers the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, and, in order to effect sales, a decline of last week's quotations of fully 2d per slb was submitted to by the salesmen, who experienced great difficulty in effecting clearances. Calves were in fair supply, and heavy inquiry, at the prices quoted in our last; but the value of pigs had a downward tendency. HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 18 The arrival of Wheat is again large, principally from Hambro' and the lower Baltic ports, all of which is landed under bond ; there is but little demand for it, and scarcely a sale has taken place during the past week. To-day, the show of Wheat from the farmers is very trifling--barely sufficient for the wants of the millers, it was consequently taken off freely, at an advance of fully Is per qr. on last week's rates; the stocks held by the farmers round the neighbourhood are considered to be much less than what was anticipated, and the quantity held by factors and millers is known to be very trifling indeed. Oats are dull but not lower. Beans and Peas unaltered. The demand for Barley, either malting or grinding, has for the present ceased, prices may be considered notn , nal. The weather is very fine and favourable for the growing crops, and the farmer's report this morning is that they are geilerally looking well. SHREWSBURY MARKET, MAY 15.

COTTON MARKET, MAY 19 We have had an improved demand for Cotton to-day, which has terminated in a very fair amount of business ; the total sales being 4000 bales, of which 250 Americans, 400 Surats and 150 Pernams are for exportation ; the rest is to the trade, Prices are without alteration, though the tone of the market still remains flat. COTTON MARKET, MAY _2O We have experienced a pretty general inquiry for Cotton to-day from the trade, but the business transacted is only to a moderate extent, owing most probably to the dull state of trade at Man chester and the manufacturing districts. The total sales to-day are 3000 bales, of which 100 Surats and 100 Americans have bten purchased for exportation, and the remainder by the trade.
