imperial Varlianient. F LORDS.- ► Syria presented for and again ise to a I in its proper place 1 his comps- 11 went through com- IClr. ST, RA convinced tt It rely u 1, in th to defeat. It was impossible to lay down the principal that we ought not to consume in these countries the produce of slave labour ; for if so we must exclude the slave-grown cotton of the United States. Still further, in order to be consistent, we should prohibit the consumption of slave-grown sugar in Newfoundland, Canada, the Cape, and in the West Indies; for where was the principle of . allowing it to be consumed there, while prohibiting it in Yorkshire. Yet he was well if a proposition was made to exclude slave brown cotton from British consumption, not only Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Gladstone, but even Dr. Lushington himself, would scout the proposition as an emanation of madness He quite appproved of the principle of endeavouring to put down the slave trade by means of British cruizers, but he was by no means prepared to go the length of prohibiting all intercourse with those states in which slavery existed. It was very doubtful whether the exclusion of cotton would benefit the slaves in Amerfea, but a certain effect of such a proceeding would be to plunge thousands of Englishmen in ruin and destruction, and—a probable one—the transfer of our manufactures to other countries. The right hon. gentle man denied that the budget had been brought forward with out great confidence on the part of the government that they would be able to carry its chief propositions. At all events the good seed was sown, and before long the proposed reforms would become the law of the land. It might be true that the present ministry might not occupy their present place, but they would remain true to the principles of their party, and it would not be the first instance in which that great party had willingly yielded the harvest to parties who had taken no share in sowing the seed. • Mr. WARD said that the proposition of the noble lord (Sandon) was very skilful, as was very clear from the ease with which the right hon. member for the Tower Hamlets (Dr. Lusbington) had fallen into the trap laid for him. The hon. member contrasted the condition of our manufacturing population with that of .the West Indian negroes, and said that the prosperity of the latter would be far more gratifying if it was the result of labour finding its own level in the Eu ropean markets ; but, unfortunately, it was the result of an indirect tax which pressed heavily on the poor of. Eng land. He was of opinion that the corn-laws might be altogether repealed if corresponding changes were made in our fiscal regulations. This question, they might rest assured, whether understood in that house or the contrary, was perfectly well understood by people out of doors, and would not be readily abandoned. Sir R. INGLIS said the question before the house was not whether the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to be agreed to, or the contrary, but whether the house was prepared to place the slave owner in a better position than in which he now stood. He hoped that neither that house nor the people of this country would ever consent, for the sake of getting their sugar a penny a pound cheaper than it now cost them, to offer such a direct premium for persevering in the traffic in slaves. Sir G. CLERK said he was astonished that any person of the name of the right hon. gentleman should have said that it was quixotic and absurd to put a stop to slavery by dis couraging the produce of slave labour. No one would deny those principles of free trade which might be considered as axioms in the abstract. No one would contend against the principle that we should not force our poor lands to produce what we might get cheaper from more genial climates. In the abstract there was no denying the principle, but then there were disturbing causes, such as the national debt and others, which so raised the value of money, that it was hopeless to enter into competition with foreign countries without adequate protection. He believed it would be ad mitted that, in respect to articles of food, it was desirable to render this country as far as possible, independent of foreign supply, but this could not be accomplished if the protection afforded by the corn laws were withdrawn. The right. hon. gentleman contended that this country in bring ing sugar from Brazil to be refined here, and re-exported, did not add to the evils of the slave trade, because Brazil was already in possession of the European markets, and what was thus brought did not supply the place of sugar the produce of free labour, which would be the case if it was admitted for consumption in the home market. The right hon. gentleman concluded by declaring his intention to op pose the proposition of government as calculated to disturb our commercial relations, without at all benefitting the con sumer, while it would be injurious to the West Indies, and would afford great encouragement to the slave trade. Mr. C. Woon regretted that so little solicitude for the suffering people of this country had been displayed by those who supported the resolution of the noble lord, the member for Liverpool (Lord Sandon). The hon. member for Not tingham (Mr. Walter) had certainly called upon the house to take into consideration the condition of the labouring classes ; but he had, notwithstanding, concluded by announ cing his intention to vote against a measure calculated to af ford them some relief. The hon. gentleman read some let ters, giving a most gloomy description of the state of our manufacturing population, and then said he was ready to ad mit that some of the protective interests might suffer from the government proposition, and that landlords might find in many instances that it had caused a diminution of their rentals ; but, for his own part, he was ready to forego a por tion of the protection he had hitherto enjoyed, in order to carry out a great financial and commercial measure, calcu lated to benefit all classes of society. The hon. gentleman then contended, that if the measure proposed by government was sto be rejected by gentlemen on the other side of the house, they ought to give some hint of the measures which, in their opinion, ought to be adopted. The hon. member entered into a description of the various modes by which the financial difficulties of the country could be met, and having deprecated anything in the shape of direct taxation, as being oppressive to the industry of the country, and repudiated the principle of meeting a falling revenue by raising loans, con cluded by declaring his opinion that every view of the ques tion showed that the only true policy was to meet the de mands upon the country by promoting its trade and com merce, by an alteration of those regulations which gave mo nopolies to the few, to the injury of the many. Mr. GouLasunN contended that, under the circumstances attending the concession of emancipation to the negroes, it was impossible the house could agree• to the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was evident, from the returns which had been read, that the supply of sugar calcu lated upon for the present year was many thousand tons greater than had been imported for a series of years, so that the right hon. gentlemen might safely rely upon an increased revenue from sugar, without passing his proposed measure, —that, in fact, the revenue would be this year largely in creased by simply leaving things alone. The arguments in support of the measure as one of commerce were as futile as were those which had been advanced in support of it in a fi nancial point of view. He admitted that dissatisfaction pre d in the Brazils against this country, but not on the ground of its protective duties, but because of its strenuous exertions to put down the slave trade ; but he could see no difference in principle between their doing so and offering an open encouragement to slavery by admitting slave-grown qmrar. With respect to the admission of slave-grown cotton case of sugar the n sugir, which was COMMONS rd Sandon's amendment with •esumed by Mr. ENVART, who n to expect the large supply embers on the opposition side utte aes in the course of the en. ply of s would not exceed that ulation of these countries ration of the corn laws compromise upon the subject, ven the noble lord (J.

The noble lord concluded by expressing a to vote for the resolution of his noble friend 31,1 0,1110.1J11.

Surely this great favour by the commercial portion of the community. ncouragement to slavery quite as effectually as if The right hon. gentleman intimated that the real opposition 'own sugar was consumed in England. In fact, to this measure respecting sugar was, that it was regarded by stion was, whether the trade should be carried the opposition in the same light that it was regarded by the It was to be recollected hon. member for Lincoln, as the outwork defences of the .6 treaty with Brazil, the highest duty corn-laws.

It was supposed is Brazil rers and excluding slave-grown sugar which would be so ild expire in 1842, and much irritation prevailed nsdul to our manufacturers, and contended that in principle ,he prohibitory duties imposed by 'Great Britain on n othing could be so absurd as to advocate the propriety of i produce, and unless some alteration in those pro- maintaining that both propositions were reconcileable. The / duties should be made, it was unlikely that the com- question was not as to the amount of duty proposed by the with that country should be continued on terms so fa- Government, but as to whether the/ would adopt a protect- British manufactures. Ministers might not, ive instead of a prohibitive system. The more the subject 'h in the decision of the house upon that oc- was discussed the better it would be understood by the peo - was so much of soundness in the proposi- ple, who would see the unwillingness of hon. gentlemen on lade, that they must ultimately be adopted by the the other side to grapple with the details of the question. Mr. GOULBURN, in explanation, said that his expression of leaving things alone applied only to the opinion that the revenue from sugar would lie this year increased by doing Aave to tilt e prineiu goods w Brazili; :t or circuitous means but there Mr. 'GLADSTONE said that the house was not called upon n that occasion to decide upon the principles of free trade, ecause the resolution before the house was that the import uties on sugar were to be governed by higher principles than ny connected with trade or commerce. The real question whe.ther they were to abandon an experiment for the tion of slavery to which they had hitherto steadily ad nd towards the success of which the people of this td made very large sacrifices. As to the benefit to mer, it would be a poor consolation to the poor of Bolton to tell him that in order to relieve his condition there should be a reduction in the price s 6d in the cwt, a reduction which could never, y, reach the quantity required by the poor opera worthy of remark as to the - expected supply for year from our colonies that all the estimates of supply of sugar far exceeded the greatest con it had ever hitherto taken place in Great Britain ear. The hon. gentleman contended that there lifference between coffee and sugar, because of rticle there was not a sufficient supply ; the pro labour and coffee was not the cause of slavery, little labour of any kind, while to the ne ibour in the production of sugar might be :in and continuance of the slave trade. The rnment was to increase the supply of sugar, _, of foreign sugar was to be increased, so numb e r of hands to prouce it, and so must an ad nothing. After some observations from Mr. IRVINE the debate was adjourned until to-morrow. HOUSE OF LORDS—WEDNESDAY The lords did not sit to-night. HOUSE OF COMMONS - WEDNESDAY. Mr. MUNTZ altered the form of his notice relative to the Earl of Cardigan, and gave notice that he would move an address to the crown, praying that an inquiry might be insti tuted into the conduct of the Earl of Cardigan, while in com mand of the 11th hussars. . Mr. CHOLMONDELEY resumed the adjourned debate on the sugar duties, and argued that the proposed reductions would in no way benefit the consumer, for the saving, what ever it might be, would find its way into the pocket of the merchant. _ ditional number of Africans be torn from their families. The no ble lord talked of inducing the Brazils,to mitigate the evils o f s lavery, and to take steps towards its ultimate extinction, ~* he noble lord at the very same moment was proposing h'" to up the only inducement we could hold out to them to cdo so—that of admitting their sugars to our market.

This was opposed by Dr. Nrcuoz.z., and after som e discussion Mr. EASTHOPE withdrew his motion, and gave notice of its renewal on that day fortnight. The adjourned debate on the sugar duties was resumed by Mr. MACAULAY, who replied to the 'speech of Mr. Glad.. stone, on the previous evening, although, he said, he had no intention of taking any 'share in the discussion. He looked in vain to the resolution of the noble lord opposite Sandon) for the assertion of any great principle. Uri appeared to him to be nothing more than a ilfully-contrived party movement, with a view to displace ie present ministry, without at all committing their suc sors. —There p was not in the resolution anything to a re vent m er supporters of it f ro m coming down hereafter with the e measures which the resolution was now brought forward Lord Howicx said he entirely dissented from the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, as to the opinion that the admission of foreign sugar would tend to the encouragement of the slave trade. He could not admit that there was any reason to suppose that sugar, the produce of free labour, could not compete with that which was the result of slave labour,—on the contrary, he believed that free labour, if properly stimulated, was more than equal to a competition with slavery. Our sugar estates in the colonies had hitherto been conducted in the most barbarous manner, being con ducted entirely by agents for proprietors resident in England. If a farm in England was to be similarly conducted by an agent for a proprietor resident in Jamaica, the result, he believed, would be very much the same. If, however. those estates in the West Indies should be conducted by those im mediately interested in their success, who would also be inte rested in introducing an improved system of agriculture, he had no doubt but the free labour sugar would undersell the slave grown sugar in the European markets. On the other hand, while a monopoly was given to our colonies, it was hopeless to expect anything like an improved system of agri culture. He was of opinion that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer might have gone still further, and proposed a reduc tion of duty on colonial sugar, trusting for an increased re venue to increased consumption ; but the proposition as it stood would be attended with much advantage to the public, not so much by the decrease in the price of sugar , as by the opening fresh fields for the industry of the country. The house would recollect that if the measures of the government were rejected, they must resort to fresh, taxation, the result of which would be to convert a vast number of rate-payers into receivers of relief from those rates to which they now contributed. Mr. C. W. WYNN contended that the proposal of Mi nisters wouli be, if acceded to, a direct encouragement of the slave trade. He denied that the whigs had a right to assume to themselves the credit of carrying the Slave Eman cipation Act. That act was not fairly to be claimed by any party, for it was the result of the irresistible voice of the nation raised against the accursed traffic. Mr. W. EVANS advocated the measure proposed by go vernment, and expressed a hope that the country would not relax in its exertions to put down the slave trade, though he did not think that in order to do so they should impose very great additional burdens on the people, when the object might be otherwise attained. Lord WORSLEY opposed the measure proposed by the Government, and condemned the projected interference with the corn-laws. _ _ _ he contrary, it Sir A. GRANT insisted on the right of the West Indian proprietors to protection, more particularly when it was re collected that the £20,000,000 which had been given by par liament as compensation to the slave owners was scarcely .a third of the value of the emancipated slaves. The proprie tors had as valid a property in their slaves as in their lands, and when their right of property was interfered with, the full value should have been paid. That had not, however, been done, and in addition to the wrong thus inflicted, they were now to be deprived of the protection which they had hitherto enjoyed. Mr. J. O'CoNNELL supported the Government proposi tion, and said, that though an Irish member, he must de clare that he could not see any benefit that the corn-laws MONDAY conferred upon the country. He would, however, in com mittee vote for the exclusion of all foreign sugar, the produce of slave labour. Sir J. R. REID said that a more reckless, injudicious, and inconsiderate Government than the present he had never heard of. He hoped the house would very quickly come to a decision, for since the proposition of Government, trade was almost necessarily at a stand. Mr. GISBORNE opposed the resolution of the noble lord the member for Liverpool, and contended that the fate of the corn-laws and of the present duties on sugar was sealed, inasmuch as,these alterations had been proposed to the house by the ministers of the crown. This opinion was not his own, for he quoted it from a speech of Sir R. Peel's, who declared that no existing regulations could be maintained in their integrity after being once condemned by a minister of the crown, supported by the authority of the crown itself. Mr. S. HERBERT said that no one would dispute the theory of free trade, but there were circumstances of mode and time which should be taken into consideration in con nexion with it, for otherwise any counting-house would sup ply from amongst its clerks chancellors of the exchequer and statesmen quite as efficient as any which could be found in that house. Admitting the correctness of the doctrines of free trade, he, notwithstanding, contended not only that the mode of alteration proposed by the government was injudi cious, but that it also was imprudently timed. It was not just that, because hon. gentlemen on his side of the house en tertained this opinion with respect to the mode and time of the introduction of these measures, they should be therefore taunted with acting under hypocritical pretences. Mr. V. SAIITII opposed the resolution of Lord Sandon on the ground that it advanced a proposition not founded in fact. It assumed that the people of England had advanced the £20,000,000 for some purpose to be yet effected, instead of advancing it for a purpose already accomplished—that of abolishing slavery in our own dominions. The bargain was completed, and the West Indian colonies had no right to claim the continuation of a tax on the people of this country for the purpose of increasing their own prosperity, which, by every account, was already very great—indeed, far greater than before the passing of the emancipation act. They had the choice of relieving the distresses of our own population, with the chance of injuring the population of some other country ; and for his part, he thought they ought to confer a great and certain good upon our own labours when it was ex tremely doubtful whether by so doing we should inflict any injury whatever upon any other people. Lord STAN LEY said he gave his cordial concurrence to the resolution proposed by Lord Sandoz', and was decidedly op posed to the measures proposed by her Majesty's ministers. It was contended that these propositions were to be supported in accordance with the principles of free trade ; and it was asserted that on both sides of the house the principles of free trade were admitted. Now, as he understood, the principles of free trade were these, that there should be no protective duties—that we should buy when we could, and any duties levied for the purposes of revenue should be as low as possible, and levied equally upon all, and that, if possible, no duties should be levied upon articles of general consumption. Those were the true principles of free trade ; and lie was happy to say that, in the present state of the country, no gentleman, on either side of the house, had been guilty of the absurdity of saying they should be adopted. The question, therefore, was not a question between mono poly and competition, for the discriminative - duties, which the government still left unreduced, were still in principle a monopoly, and directlylat variance with the doctrines of free trade. The noble lord denied that the propositions now brought forward were the same as those brought forward by Lord Althorp's government. The material difference was this, that when the alteration of the timber duties was no longer necessary for the purposes ,of revenue Lord Althorp proposed to make a larger reduction of the duties on Baltic timber without adding to those on Canadian produce. With respect to sugar it was an article which should be exempted from the ordinary rules of commercial policy, and in dealing with it prohibition should be the object and not pro tection. He then argued that as regarded the revenue there must be an increase to a large amount from sugar, not in consequence of the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but rather, notwithstanding that proposition, for the vast quantity which it was estimated would be imported from the colonies this year must, of necessity, increase the revenue without the aid of the introductfon of any foreign sugar. Every one knew that the Emancipation Act would, at first, make sugar dear ; and it was said by the lion. and learned member for Dublin last year that the question was not to be considered upon any ground of price; for if put fairly to the people of England, whether they would have sugar one penny, or more, per pound cheaper, the produce of free labour, he had no fear of the reply. Neither had he (Lord Stanley) any fear of the reply. That was the question now put to the people of England, and he had not a doubt as to the reply ; but he must express his astonishment that, after such a speech last year, upon a motion similar to the present, then brought forward by the hon. member for Wigan, and opposed by the government, the hon. and learned gentle man should now take the course of supporting the measure proposed be her Majesty's ministers, opposed as it was to his strongly-expressed opinions upon the subject. The noble lord then said that it' would ill become him, who had been the person selected by the government of Earl Grey to bring forward the great measure of emanci pation, and who had called upon the West Indian pro prietors to make the sacrifice they had done—it would ill become him to assent to any proposition calculated to render that measure nugatory. He denied that the im portation of Brazilian sugar for the purpose of refining gave any encouragement to slavery, because, as the sugar was re exported, no new market was opened for its consumption. He did not mean to deny the financial and also the mercan tile difficulties of the country, but he thought our commercial affairs, though at present somewhat languid and desponding, had still sufficient elasticity to recover, for its present con dition was rather owing to the distracted state of American affairs, than to any want or failure of national resources at home. The noble lord concluded by condemning Ministers for throwing loose upon the country a crude and undigested scheme just at the moment when they were about losing office, as they had long lost power, when they must have known that they never could carry it into operation ; a scheme which caused, in the commercial world, a panic, which was only calmed by the subsequent conviction that it would never meet with the sanction of. Parliament.: At the conclusion of the noble lord's speech, the debate was adjourned. PETITIONS FOR CHURCH EXTENSION.—WC are glad to find that petitions are in course of signature in many parts of the neighbourhood in favour of a parliamentary grant for church extension. We surely need not urge the claims of our country, paramount as they seem to us, to be provided with public means of worship at the national expense. Need less, however, as such arguments may be to those who look with Christian feelings upon the wants of the country, we sorrow to say that our legislators have not the moral courage to act upon such principles ; and it is nothing but an inces sant demand that will ever convince the House of CoMmons they have anything to do with the..spiritual 'interests of the people whom they represent. We entreat every'yarish to take its place in this effort, and to increase its exertions in proportion to the necessities of the case.—Doncwiter Chro nicle. DEATH OF A CHILD BY FALLING INTO A CELLAR AREA.—An inquest was held, on Saturday last, before Mr. Chapman, the borough coroner, on the body of Mary Wain wright, an infant 14 months old, daughter of Mr. Wain wright, of Murray-street.—lt appeared from the evidence of Ann Davis, a neighbour, that about twelve o'clock the pre ceding Wednesday, the deceased, who could just walk. was standing near a cellar in Murray-street, when sbe slipped into the cellar, by which her head was so injured that she died on Friday.—The mother of the child stated, that the area was protected only by two horizontal bars of iron, and three upright ones ; that this was the sixth accident at the same place within the last four years ; and that four of them had been attended with fatal results.—The jury returned a verdict of accidental death : and, by their desire, the coro ner wrote to the owner of the property, informing him of the accident, and requiring him to put up a better protection to the area.—Manchester Guardian. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The anniversary meeting of this society was held on Monday at Exeter - ball, upon which occasion Mr. J. Emerson Tennent, M.P., took the chair. The meeting was crowded to excess, the fair sex forming the majority of the audience. Amongst those on the platform we noticed Sir George Murray, Sir G. Rose, Col. Conolly, Mr. Sergeant Jackson, Mr. Plumntre, Sir R. Bateson, Mr. C. Hindley. &c. The Rev. Dr. Bunting read the report, from which it appeared that the receipts of the society during the past year had amounted to £90,182 8s Bd, whilst the expenditure had been £109,225 15s 10d, thereby leaving, together with the debt before existing, a balance of £39,916 6s lld against the society. To meet that sum there was a set off of £12,332 19s 2d, due from various foreign stations to which temporary aid had been granted. Nume rous speeches were delivered, and a series of resolutions were passed in furtherance of the objects of the society. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The sixth anniversary meeting of this society was held on Tuesday, in the large room, Exeter Hall, Strand, London, and was very nume rously attended. The Right Hon. Lord Ashley, M.P. took the chair, and called upon the secretary to read the report. It appeared from that statement, that in consequence of the augmentation of the finances, and' the extension of their operations, many churches, chapels, and schools had been erected. During the past year the society had made addi tional grants to 57 incumbents, having the care of 219,171 souls, and providing stipends for 48 clergymen and 12 lay assistants, at a charge to the society of £3947. Two grants of .£125 had been made towards the building of school-rooms in places where the local resources were exhausted. The society's grants, up to the present date, were stated to be in aid of 277 incumbents, having an aggregate population of 1,991,375 souls, while the average amount of their incomes was only £163. Of these incumbents 139 were without par sonage houses. Previous to the aid of the society only 314 clergymen were engaged in the pastoral care of the above stated population ; at present 225 clergymen and 35 lay assistants are supported by the society at a charge of £20,340 per annum. The income of the society had considerably increased during the past year, being £3489 9s. 7d. above the receipts of the preceding.

INTREPIDITY OF A POLICE CONSTABLE. — The magis trates sitting at the Town Hall, Croydon, last week, had to dispose of a charge against two notorious poachers, named Nicholson and Page, and a third man named Denham, of being in Sanderstead Park for en illegal purpose, and also with committing a violent assault upon Thomas Tappin, one of the police constables of the P division. It appeared from the evidence of Tappin, who had his head much cut in the affray, that while on duty, about half-past two o'clock in the morning, at Sanderstead, he saw the defendants, and two other men, get over the hedge into Sanderstead Park, and, suspecting they were about committing some offence, he shortly afterwards followed them • on his going into the rookery he found that some i ron Chains had been fixed to one of the trees, and two of the men had ascended, and Page was about following them when the constable seized him by the leg and pulled him down, when a struggle took place be tween them, and, on Page calling on his comrades to assist him, they did so, and they all attacked the constable. The latter, however, being a very powerful man, would not re linquish his hold of Page, and he actually succeeded in getting the other two men dcwn, and they all struggled to gether, as afterwards appeared by the state of the ground for a distance of 30 yards, and during the time the constable was kicked and struck on the face, and very much hurt. By this time an alarm had in some way been given, and a pri vate watchman, who sleeps at the residence of Mr. Hill, the tenant of Sanderstead Park, got up, and armed himself with a gull, and, accompanied by a blood-hound, proceeded to the spot, where he found the three prisoners and the constable struggling on the ground. The dog immediately seized one of the men, and dragged him off, and with the assistance of the private watchman the three prisoners were eventually secured, and placed in safe custody, , but the other two made their escape. Upon an examination being made the ground presented a very plain appearance of the desperate struggle that had taken place, and six young rooks were also found lying dead, so thA the prisoners' object was no doubt to plunder the rookery. The next day the prisoners w ere t a k en before Messrs. Sutherland and Currie at Croydon, when the above facts were deposed to ; and the constable, in addition, stated that he did not draw his staff in the affray, because he was afraid they might get it away from him and use it about his person. The magistrates ultimately committed the de fendants for three months to the House of Correction. The back u prisoners ae are notorious an characters,iropriaonleanntdofonle2omf them onths some r m a e time violent assault upon a gamekeeper. It is said that the com missioners of police have directed a gratuity to he given to the constable Tappin for his intrepid conduct. -- Morning Herald. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Nine o'clock —Atito•—•- The transient ship Fairfield, which arrived here at an early hour this morning, has brought us papers from New York to the 18th instant, being three days later than those pre viously received. We are in momentary expectation of the arrival of intelligence by the Columbia, or Great Western ; but we prefer . announcing the news by the Fairfield as early as possible; though we can discover in the papers before us very little which would interest the general reader. Much speculation is still indulged in as to the intended opera 7 tions of the new President, Mr. Tyler. He is represented to have reiterated the necessity of issuing a scire facias against the United States' Bank, and as intending to vote against the renewal of the charter, and distinctly intimating his opinion that he would vote against the incorporation of such an institution. A numerous and enthusiastic assembly of the citizens of New York took place on the 15th ult. to respond to and approve the sentiments declared by Mr. Tyler. Several resolutions, expressive of their confidence in him, were passed with acclamation. A tornado had " struck down" in Amite county, which is described to have been as ruinous to the timber as the great Natchez tornado, hut no particulars had been received as to the damages done. The election for Mayor had terminated in the return of a Mr. Morris, by a majority of about 400 votes. Robinson the murderer had expiated his crimes on the gallows. The New York Journal of Commerce of the 17th, states that money was very abundant, and there was no demand for bills on Europe. We copy the following from the New Orleans Advertiser of April sth : _ _ INVASION OV TEXAS By the Neptune from Galveston, we have news from the Republic to the Ist instant. The Mexican army of eight thousand men, and twenty pieces of artillery, were at Mier and Carnargo, about the 15th ult. They were cutting a road for their artillery through the bushy country to Laredo. This information was brought to San Antonio by Dr. Booker. Subsequently a trader ar rived at that place and confirmed this news ; adding, that the road was completed, and thia, under pretence of falling upon the Cumanches, the army would direct its march to Austin, by a circuitous route to the north. Arista com manded. Canales was with him. Spies had been sent from Austin westward. Since the first of the year, thirty vessels had arrived at Galveston, bringing into Texas five hundred and five white adults, fifteen children, and a hundred and nine slaves. We forget whether this is the fifty-first or fifty-second time that a Mexican army has been marched, by the Texas papers, for the invasion of a single-star republic. In two or three days we shall of course have a counter-report, right in the teeth of the one now given. NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.-APRIL 17 The sales of Cotton are about 1000 bales. Holders keep back, or ask a little advance, which deters buyers.—Sales, 3000 bushels North River Corn, at 53 cents per bushel ; Wheat not deliverable ; 1800 Jersey at 54 cents. The stock of Potashes is reduced to 50 barrels, and the price is six doll., from the scarcity. MOBILE COTTON MARKET.-APRIL The receipts since this day week have been 5146 hales, and the exports for the same period 10,310 bales, viz. to 'Liverpool 10,019, Havana 28, Boston 237, and to New Orleans 36, leaving on hand, and on shipboard not cleared, a stock of 117,869 bales, to against 171,962 bales last season. — Yesterday there was no new feature in the Market, except further advanced pretensions of holders, which checked oper ations, the sales not reaching more than 800 or 1000 bales. The stock now on sale is reduced to about 10,000 bales, which of itself would be a bar to heavy operations. Liverpool classification—Good and fine, some fair 114 ; inferior and ordinary 10. BURSTING OF A STEAM-BOILER AND Loss OF LIFE. — On Monday morning about half-past five the inhabitants on either side of the Thames near Blackfriars-bridge were aroused from their slumbers by a loud report, which sensibly shook the houses, and in an instant after three men were seen straggling in the water, amidst large pieces of floating wood. It appears that the steam-boiler of a ballast-barge, used for cleansing the river off the south-west of Blackfriars bridge, had burst. Several boats instantly put off to their assistance, and they were rescued from a watery grave ; one man, however, named Constable, who was asleep below at rthe time, was not at first found, and has been brought ashore for an inquest. The barge, which was the property of Mr. Scholey, was in the employ of the city authorities. APPEARANCE OW THE COUNTRY.—The late genial wea ther has brought the young crops and herbage to a state of forwardness scarcely remembered, and pastures are at present better than was ever known at so early a period. Within a few days the country has assumed a most vernal and luxu riant appearance, and, to use the expression of a rustic, " things may be almost seen to grow." May-day was a splendid day ; in the evening, however, there was consider able thunder and lightning, but without any fall of rain. On Sunday there was a continued fall of wet, accompanied with a cold north-east wind, and since then there has been a suc cession of unfavourable weather up to Sunday last, when the sky assumed a brightened appearance, since which it has been fine and more seasonable.—Hull Times. THE CHANCELLOR'S VISITATION —The triennial visita tion of the worshipful the Chancellor of the Diocese took place on Tuesday last, at three o'clock, in St. Peter's Church, to receive the declaration (now substituted for the oath for merly taken) of the churchwardens chosen for the present year for the various parish churches and chapels of the sur rounding district. At the conclusion of the business men tioned, the chancellor delivered an excellent address to the wards, which occupied three-quarters of an hour. A very curious document has, within these few days, been discovered amongst the ancient records at Guildhall. It is a contract made between Charles 1. and his privy council on the one part, and the corporation of the city of London on the other, in which the king makes over in mortgage to the corporation several large tracts of crown lands in the coun ties of Northumberland, Durham, York, &c. for certain loans of money to him, amounting to more than £300,000 of the then currency. But the unfortunate monarch never having had the power of redeeming these lands, they became legally part of the city estates ; and several years afterwards, finding that from their remoteness, and the rough unpro ductive nature of the soil, they were not very productive or profitable, the corporation disposed of the city interest in them to the ancestors of the present great coal-field propri etors, not, of course, having the slightest idea that they were throwing out of their hands the richest and most pro fitable soil in England, which would long since have pro duced them a net profit of above £400,000 per annum. The document is quite perfect, and is very well written. The king's signature, " Charles R," is in a fine free hand, and the signature of the members of his council at the foot of the deed are easily deciphered, but are remarkable for the diversity of the handwriting. That of Buckingham's is quite different from the others ; it is very free, but in good taste. The royal seal is affixed to the deed, and the seals of the signing privy councillors are appended likewise. CORNS. — There is no better relief for corns than the appli cation of shoemaker's wax spread as a plaster, after the corn has been soaked in warm water and pretty closely cut, this gives immediate ease, and will ultimately cure if any thing will. --- At a public-house near Grantham, in Lincolnshire, where London porter is sold, the landlord has for his sign-Post a figure of Britannia in a reclining posture, as if greatly fa tigued ; underneath is the following inscription :—" Pray stop and Sup-porter." - - PRUDENT CHOlCE. — Shortly after the battle of Waterloo, it was proposed to make some changes in the uniform of the Life Guards, and George IV. ordered one of the soldiers to be sent for, who was said to have slain six or seven French officers in single combat. He was asked a variety of ques tions, to each of which he assented, until the king, perceiving that the soldier's opinion was biassed by the presence of roy alty and his own officers, said to him, " Well, if you were going to have such another day's work as at Waterloo, how would you like to be dressed ?" " Please your majesty," he replied, " in that case I had rather be in my shirt sleeves." —Sporting Review. RECOVERY FROM INTOXICATION.-Dr. Petier, a German Physician, states that he has found the spirit of hartshorn (in the dose of a tea-spoonful in a glass of water,) to count eract the inebriating effects of strong fermented liquors and spirits, and to recover a person from an apparently lifeless state, from an excess of wine, in an hour or two.

Our Cotton Market is steady to-day. and we have had a fair Tuesday's demand to the extent of 1500 bales, at yester day's prices. COTTON MARKET, MAY 13 On Tuesday we had scarcely demand sufficient to constitute a market ; yesterday we had very little doing, and the total business was only estimated at 1500 bales. To-day we have rather a better demand, and 2SuO bales have been sold at prices in favour 'of the buyer. Perhaps in the lower descriptions of American an id lower since Friday last. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 12. Our market this morning has seen very dull for every description of• Corn, but we hear of no alteration in prices since Monday. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET. MAY 12. Clipped Sheep and Lamb skins sold this day, until the lath October next, at 2s to 2s 4d. Hides, under 60 lbs, 11s; do, 6o to 7s lbs. lid per lb ; do, 75 to Ss lbs, per lb ; do, above, :Sid per lb. Tallow, 4s yd per stqne of 14lbs. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, MAY ji The transactions in Wheat. this day were very limited, and prices remain without alteration. Oats met a dull sale at previous rates. Bere and Barley without alteration either in value or demand. Oatmeal very dull of sale, except at a reduction of 6d per cwt. Some lots of bakers' Floor changed hands at our quotations—in feriors and thirds met a further decline of 6d per cwt. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 12 There was a good supply of both Beasts and Sheep this week. The best Beef sold on the same terms as last week, but inferior, of which a large portion of the supply consisted, was rather lower. Prime wether Mutton was also much the same as last week—in in ferior no change. There was a large show of heavy Sheep (clipped.) Best Beef 62d to lad ; interior do, 6d to tiid. Prime M utton, 7.1 d to 8d; heavy clipped, 6d to bid; small do. 6id to 7d. LIVERPOOL , PROVISION MARKET, MAI , 13 - , The demand for tatter is entirely confined to the retail purchases of shopkeepers, and we cannot quote the price of Waterford higher than 100 s. Both the Home and Irish make will be most abundant this season, and seriously reduced prices must be anticipated. Beef and Pork of good quality in steady demand. Middling and inferior descriptions may be purchased on easier terms. Bacon in fair request, at 50s to 53s per cent. as in quality. SMITEIFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY M. Our market this morning exhibited a scanty supply of beasts as to numbers, but its general quality wac very superior. The at tendance of buyers being numerous, the Beef trade was brisk, at an improvement of the currencies noted on Monday last of from 2d to 4d per Sibs, and a clearance was readily effected. There was a fair average number of Sheep on sale, whilst the inquiry for them was renovated, and the quotations were enhanced from 4d to 6d per Sibs. From the Isle of Wight 242 Lambs were received fresh up in good condition ; whilst the inquiry for all descriptions was ready, at full prices. Calves were in fair supply and steady demand at the rates; but in pigs a limited amount of business was passing. HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 11 The arrival of Wheat from abroad is considerable, all of which is entering for bond. There is no confidence in the Corn trade either with buyers or sellers, and it still continues in the same unsettled and uncertain state that I noticed in my report of last week. Prices of all descriptions of foreign Corn, particularly that under bond is nominal, and such must necessarily be the case until some thing definitive is known as to the proposal submitted by Lord John Russell to parliament. The scale of duties he would substitute in lieu of the present and fluctuating scale, being on Wheat, Ss, on Rye. Beans and Peas, ss, on Barley, 4s tid, and on Oats, ss 4d per quarter. Rapeseed is held for advanced rates but the demand is limited ; the quantity held here is, however, in few hands. Linseed is dull, and lower prices are submitted to when sales are made. Rape and Linseed cakes remain unaltered in value. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 11. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6. Son.) During the past week the arrivals into this port of Wheat from Europe have been very large; of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, and Oats and Beans from Foreign Ports, and of American Flour, to a fair extent ; of all other articles they have been very small. During the week no further depression has been submitted to in the price of Wheat or Flour, although the demand has continued very moderate. A small decline has occurred in Oats and Oatmeal of id to ld per 451 b on the former, and 3d to 6d per 2401bs on the latter. For Barley, Beans, and Peas, the demand has been very small, but without alteration in price. No alteration occurred last Friday in the duties on any kind of Foreign Grain. The Ministerial proposition of materially reducing the duties on Foreign Grain has had no effect as yet on the value of those articles in bond. Some few parcels of American Flour in bond of good quality have found sales at 22s to 235 and of Dutch Oats at 3s 3d to 3s 4d per 451 b. At this Day's Market, which was pretty well attended, sales of Wheat were made to a limited extent at about the prices of this day week for the finer qualities, but other descriptions suffered a decline of ld to 2d per 701 b. Flour may be quoted 6d per brl. and 9d per sack, and Oats about Id per 451 b, and Oatmeal 6d per load cheaper. Other articles as last quoted. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6. Son.)
