TtESDAY, MAY 16, 1854• IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—TUESDAY, MAY 9. bep- v , TATIONS TO FOREIGN STATES.—Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the Unauthorized Negotia te s ub ill, which proposed to extend the criminal law, and bin ) e ct Persons guilty of the practices set forth in the 40 the penalties of a misdemeanour. The measure, he of `. 4 was based on the acknowledged principle of the law oreations, that official intercourse between States could by Yl . 3 e Carried on by the governments of those state s, or r ftisters and agents duly authorized to conduct such iotiations. In England the departure from this prin gtlie bad been considered as a breach of the royal prero- In America its violation was punished much in po by the present bill, except that th e Penalties wee more severe. In the United States, in Year 1799, a certain doctor had been detected in in fees with the French Government on matters of State th;" i lig the common interest of the two c ountries, and zatitll in question had passed the legislature with the 1 ° of Jefferson and Adams. Simar attempts at eill ar 1 lona interference had at various times been made a Englando t i and had escaped punishment, and very recently ePutation of undoubted loyalty had proceeded to Russia i na e°flfer with the Emperor Nicholas on matters of grave ferPortance. It was to restrain such unauthorized inter enee that he, as head of the common law of the country, ,11;°11glat forward this measure, which he hoped their lord ttiPs would allow to be read a second time.—Lord LYND artsT, in a speech of considerable length, pointed out je.„ —us objections to the bill, and thought the recent St. - j; e Y of the deputation from the Society of Friends to thenetersburg, who had gained nothing but ridiculefor Aft; P a ins" ought not to be treated in so serious a ay.— d tirn r some Rather discussion the bill was read a second Aand ordered to be referred to a select committee. eir lordships adjourned at eight o'clock.

PROTESTANT ASSOCIA-TION.--Con Wednesday, the annual meeting of this association was held in-the in larg the e ro om of Exeter-hall — Lo rd Viscount Bernard, 1112., ,chair. The chairman, in the' course of his address, informed the meeting that he looked forward to the speedy destruction-,of Mayo at as would be.proved :before the Royal Commission, at present inquiring into c ab management of that eblishment, that it was edu cating priests, not only fort he Roman Catholics of Ire land, but also 'for those of England, Scotland, anti the colonies. There would, too, he said, be such an exposure made in the House of Lords of atational education in Ire land as that system copld never survive, and that - mately the British public wouLd :insist on an act for the inspection of nunneries. The report, after mentioning that-the association had been founded on the principles of the Reformation, and on those emebodied in in the Bill ation of Rights for the purpo se of stopping a growg to unpeotestantise both the Church and the constitution, proceeded to detail the various modes in which tits acted, and its operations for the last year. They had, i tated, petitioned parliament against the endowment of May nooth, against the Oaths Bill, against paying Romish chaplains in government prisons, and in favour of the inspection of nunneriefe. They had also held public meet ings, delivered lectures, and distributed publications to counteract Popery, the present aspect of which called for great and continued efforts against it. The income of the association had been £Bl2 hand., and the expenditure £826 10s. 10d.,,leaving in a balance of £l5 10s. ld. The report also stated that several local assoeiations bad been formed during the past year in different parts of the kingdom—an evidence of a Protestant spirit pervading the country, and proceeded to state that the press was, in the present day, one of the most important engines for good or evil ;and that the emissaries of the Church of Rome, aware of its power, had worked and managed it but too successfully for their own interests, whence it had hap pened that Protestantism had suffered, not only from tine attacks of journals avowedly Roman Catholic and Prae torian, but from those also where, though Popery had not been openly avowed, a secret influence had been at work to keep Pi otestantisna ita the background, discourage its advocates, and repress their efforts. On the motion of Mr. W. H. Peters, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Miller, the report was adopted. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Rev. H. Stowell, Rev. C. Priest, Rev. J. Minton, and other gentlemen, and concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE GREAT BRIT.A Ilf.-Tlais fine vessel is now in the Sandon Graving-dock, undergoing the repair s n which sur her l a te accident has rende red necessary. Se has bee veyed, and the amount of damage she has sustained has been found to be but trifli n g , and will not require much time to have it repaired. The. Great Britain left Liverpool on the 29th April, and the same night, when off the WOE t of Anglesea, about eight miles from the Skerries, and in twenty-six fathoms (156 feet) depth of water, a shock was felt on board, attended with a loud noise ; the engines stopped for, an instant, and then resumed working. It was soon discovered that the vessel was making water, and that the leak proceeded from that part of the stern post through which the shaft of the screw works, and, unable at the time to account for the leak, it was supposed that the shaft had swelled with the heat, and had forced the bush, the cittle of metal in which the shaft works, out of position. The captain very properly returned to port, though with no very enviable feelings, for so unfortunate a beginning to his first voyage as commander was very dispiriting. The cause of the accident was not discovered till Thursday, when, after careful examination on the part of the surveyors, it was found that she bad been in contract with a snnken wreck, aed the screw must have become, for an instant, entangled with part of the wreck, which accounts for the shock and stoppage of the engines. The keel and side o the vessel, as well as one of the fans of the screw, bear evident marks of the collision, but the injury to the hull is, fortunately, of little consequence, only a few rivets being started, and . she will be ready to proceed on her voyage as soon as there is sufficient water of to liberate her from dock. Subjoined a copy the surveyor's report, which was exhibited in the U n d er writers' Rooms —"" The undersigned thedarninghav b een requested to survey an d report on d o ne to the screw -steamship Great Britain, J. Gray, mas ter, bound hence to Melbourne, having returned to order, this port on account of the stern-bush getting out of and the ship making a deal of water in consequence. On the 11th May, 1854, attended the vessel, lying dry in the San d on Graving-dock, and found o n the port side evident s igns of the vessel having been in contact with nces, a some har d s ubstance under water, and, from appeara sunken wreck, for, on examination, found the port side scraped, grazed, and slightly gouged in various places from forefoot to the fan, which bad a piece knocked off the edge ; thewoodkeel from the foremast forward more or less bruised ; several of the bolts fastening the keel started and leaking ; the keel aft from the fan about ten feet for ward bruised, and several of the bolts started; and under the port counter one plate indented and one rivet out, reported to have been done be at ta the same time. Recom- the me nded the ste rn-bush to examine shaft; the starte d bolts replaced with new, and the keel repaired; and the hush-shaft and iron work to be replaced or repaired under the directions of the engineers.

NAVY PAY, &c., BILL.—A clause of this, bill, reciting that it is desirable to give encouragement and facilities to all who may be desirous of entering Her Majesty's navy, provides that it shall be lawful for any servant to join the navy, though the term of service for which he may have been hired shall not have expired ; and a justice shall ad judge him a reasonable proportion of his wages for the time he has actually served, and make an order for the payment, and, if not paid in four days, a warrant shall be issued for levying the same by distress and sale of the master's goods, THE WnEcn OF THE EncoLkno.—We have been fa voured with some details of the loss of the Ercolano, the ship in which Mr. Halsey was a passenger, by Captain Townshend, R.N., M.P., who had them from Sir Robert Peel :—The latter said that, feeling ill from the motion of the vessel, he was sitting iu his carriage, which had been moved to midships on account of the heavy rolling of the sea, smoking a cigar, when suddenly, and without the slightest warning, a collision occurred. A large vessel (the Sicilia) came upon them at the rate of 11 or 12 knots an hour, running for eight or nine feet into the Ercolano, and literally " doubling her up," The collision was so sudden, and death so imminent, that there was no time for con sideration. Sir Robert had just time to spring out of his carriage before the funnel of the steamer and the apparatus of the galley fell against it, and threw it overboard. To take off his coat, his trousers, and his boots was the work of a moment. His servant was standing by him—an old and valued servant, much attached to him ; and in that awful moment Sir Robert found calmness e nough to say a few words to his faithful servitor,—" Good by ! God bless you! Nothing can save us ! In a few minutes we shall be in the other world ; but be comforted, I have made a provi sion for your daughter" (the old man's only child). The old servant said he would never leave his master; but Sir Robert, feeling that there was no chance for either of them except in prompt and individual activity , exclaimed, "You cannot help me Do the best you can. I shall jump into the sea ; " and then took a strong leap to escape thee ddy caused by the sinking vessel , which he happily cleared, In the sea Sir Robert got hold of something, which he supposes to be the bowsprit of the Sicilia, which was car ried away at the moment of the collision. Then he got hold of a chain, and finally of a piece of the wreck'. to which he found three other persons, one of whom he thinks was his old servant, were clinging. In this position he remained, the sea rolling heavily, for three quarters of an hour. One by one his companions relaxed their grasp on the floating portion of the wre ck and dropped exhausted into the sea—their grave ; and at last he alone remained holding on till he was picked up by a boat belonging to the vessel which had run them down. TM that moment Sir Robert never lost consciousness or self-command, but once on board the boat he sank into a state of insensibility from which he was restored in the 'engine-room of the Si c ilia. Sir Robert says he heard the cries of people in distress from the Ercolano before she sank, and he thinks that lives might have been saved if proper means had been taken. Mr. Halsey and his family, and many other passengers, he believes, were below in the cabins, in all probability asleep, at the time of the collision, and the doubling up of the vessel would p revent them from get ting on deck ; but Sir Robert thinks that if the Sicilia had remained about the spot till daylight she might have picked up some of the passe n g ers, who would probably have been washed out and found clinging to the wreck.— Neetfurd Mercury.

Beef from 4id to 7d ; sheep in wool, 80; clipped sheep, 7id to 7jd; lamb, &I to 10d; calves, 5d to 64d. A rather heavy market. DUBLIN, MAY 11.—The market was remarkably small to-day, both of cattle and sheep, especially the former. High prices were therefore had for beef, 58s to 60s a. 635, and even 65s per cwt. being obtained for some heifers. Mutton unchanged in price, being 6d to bid per lb. for shorn, and 72d to 8d in fleece. Lambs, 16s to 26s each. Pork, 47s to 48s per cwt., and active buying, owing to the cool weather. Large numbers of well-fed pigs are yet brought forward. MANCHESTER.—This market continues dull and in animate, without the slightest favourable change. On Tuesday there was very little inquiry, either for goods or ' yarns, and prices were generally weak. Since Tuesday the same want of activity, even in a greater degree, has manifested itself, the announcement of the advance of the rate of discount by the Bank of England on Thursday having tended in the same direction.—The export demand for yarns is very limited from all quarters, and were it not that spinners were pretty well engaged, a considerable decline in price would ensue ; as it is, further orders would be accepted on very decidedly lower terms. For India and China there is very little doing, whilst for Ger many the inquiry is just as moderate. Manufacturers contract their purchases within the narrowest limits. — The cloth market continues very dull, and in some quar ters, to make sales, very low prices have been quoted; but the great caution exhibited by buyers is not easily re moved. HUDDERSFIELD. —In the cloth hall business has been very flat, and, with the exception of about half a dozen warehouses, very little has been done out of th hall. The deliveries to order have been less than for several weeks past. The general feeling throughout the market is that of quietness. The wool trade continues in the same dull state as it has been for the last two months. LEEDS. --Although markets have been dull at the cloth halls, yet, from the business done by the commission hands during the past week, and the deliveries to direct orders, the transactions have been to quite as great an extent as could be expected ; and from the prudent course the manufacturers have adopted, of curtailing the pro duction, stocks are kept in moderate compass, and prices 1 for seasonable goods are well maintained. Business has ' been dull in the warehouses this week, the buyers who visit the market limiting their operations to present wants only. BRADFORD.—WooI : This has been a week of unusual dulness ; the sales are meagre in the extreme, but there is a good stock in the market of such kinds as are in re quest. Full bred sorts and matchings are scarce, and the prices offered far below what the grower and country dealers are disposed to sell at, consequently there is the difficulty to meet of either getting up the prices here, or a reduction in the country to enable the dealers and con sumers to operate. Moils and brakes are only made in small quantities ; hand-combed noils are exceedingly scarce, and command good prices.—Yarns : Week succeeds week, and IN its no other accounts than the daily stoppage of machinery. - The commission, or spinners for hire, who produce large quantities of second class yarns, being the product of bought tops, are now in an unparalleled posi tion, many being totally idle, and others but very par tially engaged ; the fact being, that the parties who usually kept them employed, are able to buy yarns ready spun for less than the cost of tops. The prices of wool and tops bear no proportion to the current price of yarns, The spinning cost, in many cases, being wholly sacrificed ; this applies to both spool and reeled yarns, and the prices now offered leave no alternative but further limiting pro duction, till either yarn§ can be made cheaper, or they re , ,e a price more nearly approximating the cost of making.—Pieces : There is more doing in piece goods than a few weeks ago, but the prices realised are frightful, and little surprise need be excited at hearing of many cases of inability to pay, for two or three turns over of capital will almost involve a solvent man in ruin. All wool goods are very profitless, and the quantity coming to market un usually small. NOTTINGHAM.—The lace trade continues depressed, a few articles sell moderately well, but there is little doing generally. The hosiery trade is also flat, with a prospect of its remaining so until the Americans can come more freely into the market, which, however, can hardly be hoped for some time. The money market there is easier than it was, yet it is not in such a state as to induce any extensive expenditure in European manufactures. Many machines in the lace trade are unemployed, and a great number of female operatives have only half work. The price of yarn is a little more in favour of the buyer. LEICESTER.—The business of the week appears about as last reported. The American orders contribute to the employment of some of the hands, but the home trade cannot be expected to improve much till the price of bread is lower, to enable the millions of working people to be come larger purchasers of our manufactured articles. itt ri , al if a t x— n _ de_____mand at an advance of quite is per quarter.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 12.—We have experienced a large and active demand for wheat at our market this morning, and the sales have been considerable at an advance upon all qualities of ld to 2d per 70Ibs: In flour extensive sales have again been made, buyers appearing from great dis tances, and fully ed per barrel advance on sweet, and nearly is on choice qualities of sour was realised. ' Barley neglected. Beans in limited supply, and again ad per qr. dearer. Oats in fair request, without change in value, and oatmeal in moderate demand for the interior at late prices. The market is almost cleared of choice yellow and white Indian corn, but as there are many parcels in dock of which samples have not yet been obtained, a good dis play may be expected next week, which is likely to meet a good inquiry at present rates.

The best description of wheat and American flour fetched extreme prices, but common kinds of the former and English flour were dull of sale, and barely supported former rates. Oats and oatmeal met a steady sale without change in prices. Beans were fully as high. PRESTON, MAY 13.—There was rather more wheat offering by our neighbouring growers at our Corn Exchange this morning, the demand for which was languid at late prices. Foreign met a tolerably free sale without change in value. English flour quiet. American in fair request at full prices. Oats neglected, the prices being too high for general use. Oatmeal moves slowly. Other articles unvaried. WAKEFIELD, MAY 12.—There have been fair arrivals of foreign wheat, but very small of English. Really fine samples continue in request, and we quote all descriptions at the full rates of this day se'nnight. Prices of barley are quite nominal, maltstcrs refusing to operate until trade becomes more settled, after the increased duties on malt. Other articles firm, at late rates. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAT 13.—We had 'a fair supply of wheat , from.the country this morning, which went off quickly 'at fully the prices of this day week.

Du Bury's advertisements@ PROVISIONS LIVERPOOL, MAY 12.—There is an active inquiry for beef, and sales to a large extent are reported, including a considerable parcel to arrive ; very full prices have been made, and holders now demand an advance on all quali ties. For pork there is also an increased inquiry, but the stock being light, and holders pretensions high, the transactions have only slightly exceeded the average ex tent. For fine bacon there is a fair demand, at steady rates, but secondary and inferior descriptions can only be sold by submitting to a decline of 2s to 3s per cwt. The sales for the week are large. Shoulders and hams sell freely when of good quality. The price of lard has receded fully is per cwt., without leading to a healthy business. Several parcels are reported as sold, but they have merely changed hands to settle contracts. Grease butter is in quired for, in anticipation of the coming season. MAY 15.—Although the import of butter has been liberal since our last report, the demand was so general and good that all the finest Waterford was cleared oil' in the early part of last week at 104 s to 105 s, and good s econd-rate brands 100 s to 102 s. There has been an ex tensive inquiry for butter to-day, and nearly all has been disposed of. Waterford, 104 s to 1058; Carrick and Clon mel,lo2s to 103 s ; Limerick, 98s to 100 s ; Cork, 3rds, 100 s, and 4ths, 90s, per cwt. landed.

LIVERPOOL.—There has been a steady demand for I timber during the week, and fully average deliveries have I been made by retaiL This more particularly applies to Quebec pine, elm, and oak. Of the two latter articles the whole stock is now reduced to less than 20,000 feet. Of pine the stock is estimated as moderate, the consump tion of the last three months having risen to nearly 800,000 feet; while of Dantzic about one-half of the stock held on the Ist of February has been cleared off the market. From the United States parcels of pitch pine continue to arrive, all of which are readily sold from the quay at 2s 31-41 to :Is 7id, according to average and quality. The demand for this article has been greater \than for many years past, and that, too, in the face of advancing prices. Of deals one cargo has arrived from St. John, N.B. The consumption of this article during the last three months has been on a large scale, and the deliveries have exceeded 15,000 standard. The cargo now landing is held by the importers to realise cost of import and charges. • --- -- pACKET LIST. Mails de- Last Next De, tmations. matched from Packet Packet London. Failed.
