imperial Parliamrit. HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. PRISONS• _ ' The Marquis of NORMANBY moved the further coasider ation of the amendments of the Commons to the Prisons' Acts Amendment Bill. He had prepared an amendment which he felt satisfied would meet the views of their lord ships, as they had been stated in the recent discussion. The amendment was then agreed, and the bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. IRISH REGISTRATION BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL said, in moving the order of the day for the second reading of the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill, it was necessary for him to make a few observations on the no tice given by the noble lord, the member for North Lanca shire. (Hear.) Now he considered the course proposed by the noble lord was a new and unprecedented one. (Hear, hear.) It had long been found useful and convenient in the transaction of public business that certain days in the week should be open to the government, and that on those nights government business should have precedence, but the noble lord was about to set aside that. regulation and adopt a course of proceeding at once unusual, inconvenient, and violent. (Cheers from the ministerial benches, and counter cheers from the opposition.) It was a mode of proceeding which he should say, at all events, was not conservative. (Laughter.) The noble lord, after a few observations, proceeded to say that if such a precedent was once to be sanctioned, there would be established a sure and certain plan of embarrassing, not only the present government, but any other government which might possess the confidence of the Crown, (hear,) and cause the greatest inconvenience to the transaction of public business. He should therefore persist in his intention, of moving the orders of the day, of which he had given notice, in the manner he at first proposed, viz., that the Clergy Re serves Bill should have precedence. Under these circum stances, therefore, he would consent to give the noble lord Thursday for considering the Irish Registration Bill in com mittee, or any other order day next week, it that would be more convenient to the noble lord and his supporters. (Hear, hear.) 1-le moved that the house now proceed with the Clergy Reserves in Canada Bill. (Hear.) Lord STANLEY denied that there was any violence in the proposition which he had given notice of. (Hear.) Ile ad mitted that the course he proposed was unusual (bear), but were the circumstances under which he made it not unusual? (Hear, hear.) The house was placed in a most unusual si tuation. On three different occasions the most strenuous opposition of her MajesO's ministers to the bill had been defeated by majorities. (Hear, hear.) Yet after this they still held the reins of government, and continued in their opposition to the measure. (Hear.) If the course he pro posed was unusual, it was not unconstitutional; and it was necessary to raise the question at issue between himself and. her Majesty's Government. ( Hear.) With regard to the cour tesy which was due to a member of the house, never was less shown than towards him (Lord Stanley.) He contended that the course. he pointed oat was strictly a parliamentary one. He denied that it was unparliamentary, violent, or unconstitutional. (Hear, hear.) He • had only one object in view, that was, that the measure he had introduced should undergo a fair, full, and dispassionate inquiry in com mittee. (Hear.) He could not, after the house had affirmed the principle consent to postpone its details from day to day. His public duty would not allow him to consent to delay. If the noble lord had on Thursday last made the offer he had now done, he would at once have accepted it; but on that night there was no offer of giving facility to the measure, but, on the contrary, every symptom of opposition was manifested. As the noble lord had, however, now offered an early open day, his (Lord Stanley's) object was answered, and he would not press his motion for this evening. (Hear, hear.) It signified little whether the bill was discussed on Thursday, Friday, or Monday next; and, therefore, if the noble lord would agree to going into committee alive o'clock, he would consent on either day the noble lord might name. (Hear.) His object, as he before said, was in not allowing unnecessary delay, or that he would not be defeated : he was determined the measure should have a full, cool, and impartial discus sion. (Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL said he had named Thursday as the earliest convenient day for ring into committee on the bill ; but if Friday or Monday was more convenient to the noble lord, he had no objection to either of those days (hear), and he could assure the noble lord that neither he nor any mem ber of the government would, whatever day might be agreed upon, obstruct the house going into cominittee at five o'clock. Lord STANLEY was satistied with this assurance, and would name Friday next for going into committee ; it being understood that on that day the Irish Registration Bill was to have precedence of all other business. (Hear.) Mr. D. O'CONNELL could assure the house he would not . oppose going into committee on Friday, but so strong were his objections to the measure, that lie should take every op portunity possible of defeating it in committee. (Hear.) The order of the day for going into committee was then read and discharged, and the Irish Registration Bill ordered to be committed on Friday next, then to take precedence of all other business. The committee on the bill accordingly stands adjourned - until Friday next, the I9th instant. During the above discussion the house was exceedingly crowded with members, and the greatest excitement pre vailed. As soon as the committee was postponed, the house became comparatively thin. CH URC H EXTENSION. Sir R. INGLIS rose and said, sir, I beg to give notice, that to-morrow I shall move that the house resolve itself, on Wednesday, the let of July, into a committee to consider an address to her Majesty, in the terms of the former address I gave notice of. The discussion can, therefore, be taken to morrow. Mr. HUME.—I shall move as an amendment that before her Majesty recommends to the house any further grant to the church, she will direct our attention to the rich posses sions of the church and the large grants already made to it. (Hear, hear.) CANADA BILL. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--TUESDAY. There was no house to-day. LORDS. — WEDNESDAY. HOUSE OF LORD: . The House of Lords did not sit. • • 1-10-I'--.4... rp t: .

Mr. GOULUURN wished to state to the house the course he intended to pursue, and which, he was happy to say, would prevent his entering at any length into the details of that measure. It was not his intention to oppose the bill going through its present stage. Ile should not, however, be act ing fairly by the house, if he did not say that he had not ar rived at that conclusion, of allowing the second reading with out a division, without having doubts as to the most expedi ent course to be adopted. He had only agreed to permit the second reading of the bill , because he was unwilling to have it supposed that on a inasure which was to he contempora neous with the union of the provinces, the House of Corn. mons had not been unanimous. Entering his protest, there fore, against the principle of the bill, he would content him self with expressing a hope that the government would see the necessity of altering some of its provisions in committee. A discussion ensued in which Mr. G. Knight, Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Hume, Sir G. Clerk, Mr. Labouchere, and other hon. members took part. In answer to a question from Mr. Gladstone, as to the nature of a proposition understood to have been made by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Jou rt RUSSELL said, that with respect to the proposition made to him by the primate it was, that as regarded the one-fourth already sold, and the proceeds of which were vested in this country, the whole of that amount should he considered as belonging to the church of England ; that of the remaining three-fourths, one-half should be considered as belonging to the church of England ; and that with regard to the other half of those three-fourths, the prelates at the head of the English church would not object to such a proposition as government on consideration might suggest; hut, that with regard to all that which should belong to the church of England, it should be for the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel to decide whether it should be sold or kept. In short, it was proposed to leave it entirely to them to hold it, or to dispose of the income of it. Mr. GLADSTONE baying expressed himself satisfied with the explanation of the noble lord, the house divided, when the order for the second reading was carried by a majority of 152 to 35. The bill was then read a second time. ECCLESIASTICAL. REVENUES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that he had to state to the house that her Majesty had signified her gracious intention of founding two new professorships at Oxford University, the one for ecclesiastical history, and the other for biblical cri ticism. It was his intention, in committee on the bill, to propose to endow them with two canonries of Christ Church. (Hear, hear.) Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to,. Lord J. RUSSELL stating, that in consideration of the great want of parochial funds, he thought he was bound to give up a - great deal of the existing magnificence and splen dour of cathedral establishments. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday next. The Timber Duties Bill was read a second time, and or dered to be committed on Thursday. _ . GLASS DUTIES BILL. The house went into eninmittee on this bill. The various clauses were agreed t o , an d two new c l auses , res pectively designed to prevent fraud at the bottom and the top of the pits, were added on the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. A. \Vim': moved the insertion of a clause for the purpose of returning to the owners the duty on glass de stroved_hy shipwreck. The CHANCELLOR o the EXC . HEXCHEQUER opposed the c l ause , and it was negatived without a division. The house resumed, and the report was received. ther consideration on Thursday week. The other orders of the d a y were then disposed of, and th e house adjourned at half-p ist twelve o'clock. Fur- HOLTSE OP LORDS.—TUESDAY. The Customs, &e. Duties Bill, •the Indemnity Bill, &c., were read the third time and passed. Lord MELBOUItNE, in answer to Lord CHICIIESTL , said that he would make inquiry whether a new bill was requisite to carry into effect the amendments introduced into the Prisons Act Amendment bill. - -- Lord ABERDEEN moved the second reading of the Church of Scotland . Benetice6 Bill. His lordship again discussed the topics which he had before expounded, with great clearness and talent : but, if we may judge from . his lordship's tone, we think he has not inm:h hope of carrying his conciliatory measure. The extravagance of the General Assembly seems to justify Milton's saying, that " Presbyter is but Jack Priest writ large." We suppose, however, that though the contest will be very obstinate, it must end in the defeat of unreasonable and illegal pretensions. Dr. Chalmers is a man of first-rate talent—we may say that he is a man of g e n ius. What a pity that he has not a little common sense. Lord ABERDEEN'S was opposed by Lord BREADAL BANE, but was carried by a majority of 47. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDA Y . After receiving numerous petitions, the house was occupied the whole evening with the discussion of the Vaccination Bill. Mr. WARLEY proposed to substitute the Smallpox Prevention Bill in place of the Vitc.ination Bill ; but after a short dis cussion, the Vaccination Bill was carried by a majority of 17, and the house then went into committee upon it. It was discussed in detail : several amendments were adopted, and others rejected. Mr. Waklev again endeavoured to alter one of the clauses so as to prohibit smallpox inoculation, and his statement, hacked by some strong remarks of the Attorney-General, prevailed, and a clause was introduced to the following effect :—" That any person guilty of such mis demeanour, i. e., of causing smallpox by inoculation. or ex posure, shall be liable to be proceeded against and con victed summarily before two or more justices of the pecce in petty sossions assembled, and committed for one month." The report was ordered to be brought up this day. The parochial assessments bill was read a second time. and ordered to be committed on Wednesday, the 24th instant. The Borough watch bill and the marriage act amendment bill were each advanced a stage. On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, an address to her Majesty was agreed to, for a copy Of the proposals of the sub-committee of chapters, for a bill in lieu of the ecclesias tical duties and revenues bill. .APetiiiOtiVa.;preFented against the return of Mr. Tom line for Sudbury, after which the house adjourned at a quar ter pat:* twelve. The Queen of the Bel•:ians was safely delivered on the 7th instant of a . princess. The queen and princess are goi ng on THg UNITED STATES. The following appeared in the second edition of the LIVERPOW. STANDARD of Tuesday last: The New York packet-ship Sheridan arrived here this forenoon at ten o'clock. She sailed on the 25th ultimo, and brings papers of that date. We have been politely favoured by Captain de Peyster with se veral New York journals of the latest dates. We sub join the state of the money market on the 24th ultimo. 'there had been a dreadful tornado at Natchez, the particulars of which will be found below. A great storm had also been experienced in Illinois in the beginning of last month. It did very great da mage to the farms, on which much valuable stock had been killed by the falling of timber. The rivers had also risen to a great height, and done much damage. ' The British Queen, steam-ship, arrived at New York on the 15th of May, in.l3 days and 11 hours. There is no political news of importance, either from the United States or Canada. The Sheridan and the Columbus, New York packet ships, the Monongahela packet-from Philadelphia, the ship Talleyrand, and several others from the southern states, arrived this day with the same tide. The Columbus has brought 50,000 dollars on freight. MONEY MARKET. SUNDAY, MAY 21-6 P.M.—The accounts from China which reach us to-day, are of a more favourable nature. There is some disposition on the part of the Chinese to corn promise. Yesterday but a small business was done ; nothing occur- ' red to relieve the markets of their gloomy features. Capi talists are waiting with anxiety the result of the proceedings at Harrisburg, and not without uneasiness at the probable passage of the Sub-Treasury Bill. This has long been a bug bear in the money market ; and the anticipation of its action has caused more real mischief than its actual operation will do. Trade is trammeled by the impossibility of getting money from the country, west or south. Our banks will touch no southern paper, and therefore the merchants are very cautious of selling. Many of our dry goods houses have actually received consignments of flour from the west, as a means of payment. This approaches very nearly a barter trade. Instead of the sound banks depreciating their cur rency to a par with the broken banks of the south, the south must keep their currency on a par with New York, if they wish to keep their credit good at the centre of trade. The sales at the Stock Exchange were small ; U.S. Bank declined per cent.; Harlem per cent. ; Stonington per cent. ; Farmers Trust -. 1 - 1 per cent. Nothing has yet been done in the Pennsylvania legislature towards redeeming the honour of the state. An evident anxiety for the situation of affairs is fast • increasing in Philadelphia. The former advocates of the suicidal course of the state, in 'legalizing suspension in order to borrow money, that the question of taxation may be postponed, are becoming alarmed at the result of the measure. The abso lute ruin which is so nearly before the state, has caused a graat alteration in the tone even of the bank organs. If the credit of the state is lost, the expanded banks lose almost their last chance of recovery, and they are becoming anxious that sonic regular means of meeting the interest should be authorised by the state, in order to restore confidence in her stock both at home and abroad. A New Orleans paper, in allusion to recent remarks of ours on the currency of that city, has the following:— Mr. Bennett says, " that the depreciation of the southern currency goes on increasing, which is a consequence of the expansion of those banks under the irredeemable policy." This is news to us here. Has there been any expansion in this city ? We ask the thousand industrious merchants, who are now in court, if there has been any such thing ? No, no. The screw has been forced down and not upwards. These remarks show a great want of acquaintance with the movements of the New Orleans banks and trade. New Orleans is the great centre of southern trade, and is the chief market for-cotton. The movements of her banks, therefore, have great influence on every other point. Since the sus pension, the banks have published their returns monthly . A careful observance of the figures thus put forth, connected with the trade of New Orleans, led to the assertion that they were expanding. The following are the data : STATEMENT OF THE BANKS OF NEW ORLEANS, MONTHLY, FROM OCT. 21, 1839, TO MAY 4, 1840. Loans. Specie. Circulation. Deposits.

At the seine time the specie in the hands of the banks has steadily increased. The following is a table of the currency or circulation and deposite and its increase each month, with the premium on specie in each month : Currency. Increase.

On the 13th inst. 88,746 dolls. arrived from Tampico. Here we have not speculation, but figures sworn to by the bank officers, which show an increase of 50 per cent. in the currency of New Orleans since the suspen sion of the. banks. Immediately after the suspension, and during the panic incident upon that measure, specie rose to 8 a 9 per cent. prem., and then gradually fell to 3 a 4 per cent. about the Ist March. This was the natural result of the great shipment of crops. The banks in New Orleans previous to the Ist of January. 1839, were preparing to resume. The contraction incident upon that measure was healthy, and the movements of pro duce brought the balance in their favour in February and March. This encouraged purchases at the north ; at this season the premium was nominal, although a good southern business was done at the north ; what different views do the rates for the year present, althouth the exports from New Orleans have been about the same in value this year as last. In this we find that the quantities exported have been much superior to those of last year, while the value has been much the same. The increased quantities have augmented the freight 100 per cent. over last year. The following is a table of the receipts of produce : RECEIPTS OF PRODUCE AT NEW ORLEANS, OCTOBER, 1839, TO MAY, 1840, AS COMPARED WITH THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR. 1840. Value in dols. 1839.

Com merce was dull. The arrival of a conducts with about 1,200,000 dollars in specie, had created some stir in the port. Only 80,000 dollars of this money was sent to the United States—the residue is shipped for England. The arrival of another conducta was hourly expected, bringing specie, a part of which was destined for this country. The British brig of war Serpent was to leave immediately for Jamaica, with 400,000 dollars in specie. An English packet left the day previous for Havana, with 700,000 dollars in specie. STATE OF TRADE. The vessels which arrive from Europe bring very light freights for the season. The demand for goods from the in terior appears to have ceased, and the markets are conse quently becoming more inactive. In Flour the demand for the eastern markets has rather exceeded the receipts, not withstanding that the canal navigation is uninterrupted. This has caused an increased firmness on the part of holders ; common Western Flour is held at 4 dols. 871 cents, at which sales to a small extent have been made on French account. Ohio is held at 4 dols. 621 cents. COTTON. — There has been a fair business doing in Cotton through the week, and prices have closed at about the rate current after the arrival of the British Queen. The southern markets generally appear to have improved. The accounts by the Great Western reached New Orleans on the 13th, but the effect of her news was not visible in the markets.

The steame r William F renc h h as arr i v ed a t , having p asse d Natchez_ early on the Louisville morning and Cincinna after the dreadful catastroph e . V 4 e make the following ex tracts from the Louisville Journal and Cincinnati Chronicle, which furnish some mournful particulars particulars of the disaster. at N atchez, on d passed over' the e a t at A t w t o o r p ua m d . o , beganen ü b r o s u d t a y t w t the h i' t i h r ds instant, o an south-east direction, and destroyeddhi:y, apparently from a gr n n - I ne w i ere every building the buildings in the city : amongst ;and gre of trees the under the hill; except Mr. Cotton's ); the beautiful grove (a small build ing the banks prostrated which was partially injured} p around the Court-house is Court house itself partially destroyed — all except the Commercial —every hotel except the Mansion-house, w hi c h wa s partly blown down. The Planters' and Parker's hotels were completely obliterated, and nothing left but a pil e of bricks. The tine grove of trees, and the handsome b u ildi ng adjoining the Planters' Hotel, were all destroyed. Th e long row. of China trees that lined the brow of the hill, and made so beautiful an appearance from the river, were all destroyed; also the Light-house, erected by the U. S. government some twenty years since ; the cotton press ; both steam saw mills ; the steeple of the Second Presbyterian Church, and a part of the building itself was also destroyed. The Railroad Depot was blown down, and nine dead bodies had been taken from the ruins. On the river, in front of the city, the effects of the tornado were equally awful. The steamboat Hinds was blown into the river and sunk, and all the crew and passengers except four men were lost ; the number of passengers on board was not known. The captain was said to be on shore at the time, but had not been seen. The destruction of property, of course, is immense, and no estimate can yet be formed of its amount ; and we regret to add that the number of lives lost is also very great. The William French passed Natchez only twelve hours after, and at that ti me th e c i t i zens were ent i re ly eng aged in taking out the dead b o di es f rom t h e ru i ns . S even l a dies had already been taken f rom th e ru i ns o f t h e S team b oa t Hotel, The loss oli board the fl a t b oats must h ave b een aw f u l, as it is rea sonable to pre sume th at at l east two persons were on each boat, which would make the number lost in this manner up, wards of two hundred. The estimates on the spot, by the citizens of Natchez, var i e d f rom t h ree to seven hundred. (From the Louisville Journal.) It is said there were 50 persons buried in one of the hotels. Seven were taken dead from the railroad depot, and seven dead and one injured from the hotel under the hill. Rumour says, that in all, 200 persons have been taken dead from the ruins. Of course many not killed were more or less injured. It is stated, that the family of Mr. H. P. Postlethwaite was preserved in the following singular manner :—one of the children became frantic or alarmed, and ran into the cellar— the other members of the family followed, and just as they all reached the cellar the house was blown off. The family of Mr. Watt, of the firm of Burke, Watt and Co,, were ac. cidentally led to leave the dinner table and go out in the yard, and'instantly the room they bad left was bIQW4 • It to ottited that matiy foroopg warp blown crock Om 0000 to tbo river. _ _ . How far the ravaoo of this storm extOnded did not learn., Some say that It was not felt in its greatest violence anywhere but in and near Natchez ; but that is hardly pro )able. At Napoleon, Arkansas, 24 hours after the storm at Natchez, a house was blown down, and a flat boat sunk with five men. A gentleman informs us, that he saw the ravages of a vecont tornado above Vicksburgh, anti conjectures that it was the same storm. At five o'clock, on the day following, there was a violent hail storm in Louisville, which passed through Franktort. An intelligent passenger in the French informs us that parts of nearly all the plantations on the Mississippi were overflowed, and the river had not reached its highest point. On the Red River, we learn, thousands of acres of planted cotton were under water. ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH QUEEN. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY MORNING.—The British Queen anchored this morning between seven and eight o'clock, and has brought over 180 passengers. The intelligence which her arrival furnishes is principally commercial, and we regret to say of a character not to be deemed improving. The New York commercialists have each their several versions of existing matters, but the true aspect of affairs is anything but promising. We are advised of a sale of United States Bank Shares at 711, and it is believed that some few were done at 72, about an hour before the British Queen departed. The Stock Exchange was more than usually flat on the day of the Queen's leaving, but the Unicorn steamer being expected from Boston with later arrivals from England, was in some degree the cause of this. Our files of papers supplying us with New York dates of the Ist instant, do not extend back so long as previously, re ceived dates require, although we believe the deficient ad vices are wholly unimportant. The outward passage of the British Queen was one of great rapidity ; she anchored at New York on the evening of the 15th ult., having got out in 14 days, calculating the time from the hour of dismissing her English pilot to that of taking the American one on board, it was exactly 13 days and 11 hours. The homeward passage has occuped about 14 days and a half. The several states seem to be each propounding various schemes of bank bills, with a view to prevent the distresses - which are so constantly occurring. Advices from Harris burg, of the 20th ult., give particulars of a bill for this pur pose, and which passed the House of Representatives by a majority of 39. Its principal provisions are nearly as fol lows :—All banks are forbidden to hold any other stocks than those of the United States ; also from the issuing of Vost notes. Stockholders are to be individually liable in proportion to the amount of stock held by them ; and all such banks as shall, after January 15, refuse to redeem their obligations in gold or silver, to be deprived of their charter. The crops are everywhere said to be most abundant, and this supplies a hope that affairs may hereafter improve. The election of president is exciting unusual interest, and from the accounts it would seem that the rioting and profli gacy usually attendant on such elections in the model re public has greatly increased. The papers abound with state ments of the most abandoned nature, and it is scarcely pos sible to overstate the extent to which bribery and party spirit are carried. It is even said that courts-martial are being held on several officers of the army, on no other charge than that of having purchased supplies for the commissariat de partment from persons not actually partisans of the Van Bu ren party. By advices from Washington, of the 27th ult., it would seem that pretended difficulties are started in opposition to any uniform law of bankruptcy. Numerous leading mem bers of Congress have expressed themselves opposed to the passing of a law. Natchez has been visited with a most terrific tornado, by which nearly 300 lives have beeen lost, and the amount of damage to buildings alone is estimated to exceed a million of dollars. Many of the most respectable inhabitants fell vic tims to the fury of the hurricane, but the majority of persons killed were either fishermen or persons whose habitations were close to the coast. Fayetteville, in South Carolina, has also suffered much from a severe hurricane, which has greatly injured the crops in that district. From Canada we learn that the Lieutenant-Governor pro rogued the Special Council on the 15th ult. Much dissatis faction is expressed in consequence of the Governor Gene ral's refusal to alter the anomaly which is said to exist in the currency of the two provinces. Mr. J. Macdonnell and the Hon. D. B. Vigor, both of whom were imprisoned on charges of high treason during the late rebellion, have been liberated. The whole of the 85th regiment has reached Montreal, from the Upper Province. - We are enabled to announce the gratifying intelligence of another splendid triumph of steam navigation achieved in the safe arrival at Boston of the Unicorn steamer from Liver pool. A correspondent informs us that she was telegraphed off Boston on Saturday, the 30th (two days before the Queen sailed.) A public meeting of the inhabitants of Boston had been previously called, and it was agreed to have great fes tivities and rejoicings, the expense of which was to be de frayed from the civic funds. The unsound principle of constructing the engines of steam ers in America has been again tested in the explosion of two vessels. One of these, the Greenfield, which plied between Montague and Hartford, on the Connecticut, has been blown up, and several lives lost ; the other, named the Grampus, of New Orleans, caused the death of two of the crew, and seri ous injuries to others. It is said to be the intention of the United States Govern ment to employ Indians to negotiate between them and the Semolini Indians, and thus put an end to the inhuman Flo rida war. Little credit will be due to our. friends in the States for any good which may thus occur, as it appears they are animated in such course solely to put an end to the ex pense which this war involves. Several butcheries attended with their usual sanguinary circumstances have recently oc curred. Captain Roberts, of the Queen, has received the warm congratulations of his passengers in addresses, &c. ; and we understand that an elegant silver speaking-trumpet and telescope have been presented him during the voyage. (From the New York Courier, June 1.) SUNDAY NIGHT.—The Stock Market yesterday was very calm and prices receding. It is necessary, however, to keep in view that in this observation, and those generally made in relation to the stock market here, reference is only had to those particular stocks to which of late the operations of the board have been almost exclusively confined, and these are those of incorporated companies. State Stocks have been much sought for, and their value has materially, improved. Those preferred are the stocks of this state and Ohio, and the corporation of this city, but sales out of the board have also been effected of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Alaba ma, and the purchasers have been capitalists or commission houses executing orders from abroad. Little or nothing has been done in them on speculation : 6000 dols. Michigan Six per Cent. were sold on Saturday at auction at 78 ; Indiana Five per Cent. at 794 ; 11,000 dols. Arkansas Six per Cent. at 75 ; 12,000 dols. Alabama were also advertised but not put up ; 50 shares of the Southern Life Insurance and Trust Company were offered but withdrawn, 50 being the highest bid for them. Our Corporation Bonds are in active demand, and with, perhaps, one or two exceptions, are the only securi ties in the market above par. New York Five per Cents are firm at 95. United States Bank is looking down, and sales are heavy. The only railroad stocks that maintain their prices, and indeed advance, are the Utica and Schenectady and Utica and Syracuse railroads. The latter is a favourite ; has risen 20 per cent. within the last six months, and is now firm and in demand at 119 per cent. The transactions in foreign exchanges yesterday were on a more limited scale than was expected, to-morrow being the day of the departure of the British Queen, and that and the following day of three packet ships. The business done ciosed at the following rates, the supply of bills on all places having been full : London Paris 5 264 5 25 Hamburg Bremen Amsterdam 394 40 The British Queen and packets will certainly carry away half a million of dollars in specie, and probably much more, of which no official record will be kept, and this too with foreign exchanges at least 14 per cent. in our favour, or in favour of remitting bills. We trust the specie maniacs will see, in this circumstance, apparently so unaccountable, the futility of their endeavours to restrain the natural course of trade, or to appropriate to this country more than its due proportion of the precious metals. Since the departure of the Great Western the demand for cotton has been fully equal to the supply, and the prices of that date have been quite maintained. A great proportion of the late purchases have been made for home consumption. The present prices are— Uplands, very ordinary to middling Fair to good, fair and good Tennesse and Alabama Fine Mobile, Louisiana, &c. 9l to 11 to 12 The Flour Market is very inactive, and good western may be bought at -11 dollars.

Lindley 's Theory qf Horticulture. NEW SOUTH WALES, • We have received our files of the Sidney gazette and Commercial fournal to the Bth of February, inclusive. The following ape the most important extracts ;--- THE Rio,. MR. WILLIAMS, 8(.6.—H. M. S. Favourite, on her departure from this port, intends to pay a visit to the Eastern Isles, particularly those of Eremangoe and Tupia ; on the former was the unfortunate missionary, Mr. Williams, and another gentleman, most wantonly and treacherously murdered by the natives. These murderers will meet with a due need of punishment, as a warning for them to behave themselves with more respect and forbearance to Europeans who may hereafter visit that island ; at the same time it is the intention of Captain Croker to procure the remains, or any 'portion thereof, of the two unfortunate gentlemen, to bring to Sydney for interment in consecrated ground. On the latter named island (Tupia) it is expected that some part if not the whole of the twelve men belonging to the Whaler Achilles may be rescued from the natives, who seized them while they were ashore trading, and in all probability the Favourite will call to ascertain what was their fate, and, if living, to ransom them from their bondage. DISCOVERY OF CEDAR.—Captain Rossiter, who has been some time at Coffin's Bay, informs us that there is a large lake in the neighbourhood surrounded with cedar trees. As the bearings of the lake from Mount Greenly are known, we are glad to hear that a party is about proceeding to the spot. Port Lincoln Herald. SINGULAR CAPTURE OF THREE BUSIIRANGERS.—Some time since the brig Scamander, Captain William Rogers, came to an anchor in the vicinity of Port Stephens, for the purpose of obtaining supplies, and while laying there, the vessel was hailed by three men from the shore ; the boat was immediately dispatched in charge of the second officer, to I inquire the nature of their business, and upon nearing the shore, the boats' crew put the question, " what do you want ?" and the answer was, " we are in a starving state, and want something to eat, and a passage across to the other side—we have been searching for cattle for our master, and have no provisions." The second officer informed them that he was not authorised to comply with their request, but that he would return to the ship, and inform the captain or chief officer of the nature of their business in hailing the vessel, and that he had no doubt their wishes would be complied with. The boat immediately returned to the brig, and the second officer communicated his suspicion that the men were bushrangers ; this was confirmed by the chief officer, havingseen with his spy glass the fellows wading their way towards the residence of Mrs. C., a widow lady, residing in the neighbourhood, it 1 was therefore instantly arranged that a boats' crew should arm themselves, and m ith all haste proceed on shore, and endeavour to capture the fellows, following in the track they were seen to take—they soon arrived at the residence of the lady referred to, to whom they communicated the object of their visit ; they had not been morel than a quarter of an hour in the house, when Mrs. C.'s servant, (an old man, and the only person about the premises) came in with the intel ligence that three men were approaching the house under suspicious circumstances. The tars immediately proceeded in the direction pointed out by the servant, and in a thick scrub not far distant, captured two of the fellows, whom they immediateiy recognised as being two of those who hailed the brig. One of the desperadoes made some resistance, but the pistol of the second officer placed to the fellow's head, soon made him quiet, the other came forward, and delivered him self up. saying " d—n me, if you take them, you may as well take me likewise." They were then marched by the tars to the house of Mrs. C., who gave them something to eat, and afterwards to the beach, where they were put into the boat, two of them being made to pull, while the other was narrowly watched by the crew, and were shortly after wards delivered up to the authorities at Port Stephen, when they were found to be runaways from Newcastle, where they stole a boat in which they set sail, and subsequently ran her on shore at Long Beach, where she was lost. Thus these British tars, with the second officer (a native of the colony) at their head, captured and placed in custody three ruffians, who would have perhaps in a very few minutes have mur dered the lady we have referred to, if they had not been so opportunely secured. Surely such conduct on the part of the sailors deserves to be' represented to the Governor, who would no doubt order them to be rewarded for their heroic conduct, but strange to say, there has not been the slightest notice taken of the matter in the public prints. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. We glean the following intelligence from a late Adelaide paper, respecting the markets and harvest in South Australia. TILE MARKETS.—A considerable reduction has recently taken place in the price of bread, which is now selling-at from 9d to 15d the 21b loaf. A further reduction must very soon take place, as from many favourable accounts of the state of the crops in Van Dieman's Land and Sydney, flour will greatly fall in price. Beef and mutton are selling at 81d a lb, pork, veal, and lamb, 10d, rice from ld to 3d, potatoes £l5 per ton—very slow sale. The tea and sugar market is steady, and the prices will be found in our price current. Flour ranges from £32 to £55, but is not likely to maintain present quotations. There is a quantity of wheat in the mar ket, but it obtains little sale, as there is no mill yet at work in the colony, by which it might be ground.—South Austra lian, Dec. 19. THE HARVEST.—Everything indicates a most bountiful return this year to those who have commenced agricultural operations. The company last week stacked a field of bar ley that we hear will realise sixty bushels to the acre. The wheat crops look beautiful, and are almost ready for reaping. The hay making is nearly over, and we understand that a very large quantity has been safely stacked.—lbid. THE MARKETS TUESDAY, JAY. 28.—Fnurr.—Peaches, 6d. to Is. per dozen ; figs, 2s. 6d. to 3s. ditto ; grapes, 2s. per lb. ; cher ries, 3s. to 4s. ditto ; plums, Is. 6d. to 2s. per dozen ; pears, ls. 6d. 3s. ditto. VEGETABLES.—Potatoes, 10s. to 12s. per cwt. ; cabbages, 2d. to Is. each ; carrots, 4d. per bunch ; turnips, 4d. ditto ; lettuces, 2d. each ; cucumbers, 2d. to 6d. ditto ; melons, Bd. to ls. ditto. POULTRY.—Turkeys, 15s. to £1 each ; eggs, 2s. 6d. to 4s. per dozen ; lard, ls. 3d. per lb. ; bacon, Is. to ls. 4d. ditto ; butter, fresh, 3s. ditto ; ditto, salt, 2s. ; Irish ditto, Is. to Is. 4d. ditto; cheese, Is. to ls. 6d. ditto. THE STATE OF THE MARKET DEALERS.—It was rumour ed some time ago, that the stalls now occupied by dealers in fiuit should be removed on the commencement of the year to the north-eastern section, in order to give place to the growers ; but, strange to say, this regulation has not yet been put in force, and the neglect thereof is causing much distur bance and dissatisfaction. If rules are made, why are they not attended to ? FLOUR.—iSt quality, 365. per 100 lbs.; 2d ditto, 30s. ; 3d ditto, 19s. CAPTURE OF TWO BUSHRANGERS.—A letter has been received by Major Nunn, commander of Mounted Police, from Lieutenant Sayers, of the 3rd division of that corps, stating that two armed bushrangers, darned Blind Tom, alias Thomas Fumors, a prisoner for 11 years, and William How ling, a lifer, were captured by Sergeant Tasser and his party, on the 16th instant, at one of Mr. Flint's sheep stations. They had in their possession when taken, two horses, two saddles, two fowling-piece, two horse-pistols, one powder flask, two boxes of percussion-caps, a few balls, one silver watch, and a black coat. VAN DIEMAN'S LAND. AN END TO THE CONVICT SYSTEM.—We have heard from a source on which we place great reliance, that it is more than probable that the next convict ship will be THE LAST that will ever be dispatched from England for this colony. The intention being to form a new settlement every year along the north coast of New Holland, until every harbour is settled. The social system probation men from Norfolk Island are said to be the pioneers who are to prepare the several places for the reception of the free settlers. As soon as this is accomplished, all the well-behaved men will get tickets of leave : those who have misbehaved, will be forwarded to a new settlement for further probation ; and that from which they are removed, will be thrown open to free settlers—the ticket ofleave probationers furnishing them with labour. We will take an early opportunity of consider ing at some length the probable effects of this projected change upon the future prospects of this and the other Aus tralian colonies. We have long ago predicted that the men who were laying out so much money in buildings in Hobart Town would find that they were misapplying their capital. Hobart Town, as a head, has far, very far, out-grown the body which supports it ; but we have not space to enter on the subject this week. NEW ZEALAND, Proclamation by his excellency Sir George Gipps, knight, captain-general and governor in chief in and over her ma jesty's territory of New South Wales and its dependencies, and vice-admiral of the same, &c, &c, &c. Whereas her Majesty was graciously pleased, by letters patent, under the great seal of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, bearing date the sth day of October, 1837, to constitute and appoint me, Sir George Gipps, knight, to be captain-general and governor in chief in and over the territory of Nw South Wales, comprised within the limits therein mentioned ; and whereas, by certain other letters patent under the great seal of the said united kingdom, bear ing date the 15th of June, 1839, her said Majesty has been pleased to alter and enlarge the limits of the said territory in manner hereinafter mentioned, and to revoke so much of the said first mentioned letters patent as relates to the limits of the said territory under my government, and to constitute and appoint rne, Sir George Gipps, knight, to be captain-gen eral and governor in chief in and over the territory caled New South Wales, extendinc , (save and except as therein is excepted) from the NortherriCapie, or extremity of the coast, called Cape York, in the latitude of 10 deg. 37 min. south to the south extremity of the said territory of New South Wales or Wilson's Promontory, in the latitude of 39 deg. 12 min. south, and of all the country inland to the westward as far as 129 deg. of east longitude, reckoning from the meridian of Greenwtch, including all the islands adjacent in the Pa cific Ocean, within the latitude aforesaid, of 10 deg. 37 min. south and 39 deg. 12 min. south ; and also including Norfolk Island, lyiug in or about the latitudes of 29 deg. 3 min. south, and 168 deg. of east longitude from the said meridian of Greenwich ; and also including any territory which is or may be acquired in sovereignty by her said Majesty, her heirs, or successors, within that group of islands in the Pacific Ocean, commonly called New Zealand, lying between the latitude of 34 deg. 30 min. and 47 deg. south, and 166 deg. 5 min., and 179 degrees east longitute from the said meridian of Greenwich, and of all forts arid garrisons erected and established, or which shall be erected or established within the said territories, or within any of the said islands except that of her Majesty's said territory which is called and known by the province of South Australia, and which lies between the meridians of the one hundred and forty-first degrees of east longitude, and between the Southern Ocean and twenty-sixth degree of south lati tude, and all and every the islands adjacent thereto, the bays and gulfs thereof, as therein is excepted as aforesaid. Now I, the Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief afore said, do hereby proclaim and declare that her Majesty has been pleased to extend the said territory accordingly. Given under my hand and seal, at Government House, Sydney, this fourteenth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and forty, in the third year of her Majesty's reign. (L. s.) GEORGE GIPPS, Governor-in-Chief. The Globe announces the death of Lady Wilde, wife of the Solicitor-General. BENEFIT OF DINNERS.—One day when some one object ed to the practice of having dinners for parish or public pur poses, " Sir," said Lord Stowell, " I approve of the dinner system ; it puts people in a good humour, and makes them agree when they otherwise might not." TILE HILT. COOLIES.—The introduction of the Hill Coolies into the British colonies seems almost a necessary ineans of checking the horrible slave-trade carried on by foreigners ; but it is necessary that the legislature be on its guard lest the Hill Coolie trade become itself a slave-trade as odious and as criminal as that for which it is the proper remedy. The Asiatic emigrants have no protection but the British legislature : left to the mercy of importers and employers, their condition will be even worse than the condition of ac_ tual slaves. We trust, therefore, that the subject will be constantly kept under the notice of parliament. It is in our power to restore the prosperity of the late slave colonies by the accession of an industrious population of emigrants— who, by the pressure of it ceased numbers, will force the rest to industry, It is no less in our power to complete the ruin of these colonies by reviving slavery in a worse form than before, under the name of employing free emigrants. The political economists tell us that 4 legislature ought never to intermeddle between employer and employed. Experi, ence and common sense say, that if a state is to be saved from anarchy, the duty of this mediation is to be considered the most important of all the duties of legislators.—Wate4.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. JVME Ti!* There has been a goocidemand for (:otton to-day, the sales are 6000 bags. including 1500 on speculation and 600 for export. The market steady. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 18. The currency of Butter is nominally as noted in our last, and the market is excessively flat.—Beef held for more money, whilst Pork can be purchased upon easier terms.—Bacon in good demand. • LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 16. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Since Tuesday. last the imports of Grain, Flour, and• Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastwise, have been very moderate, but of Wheat and Flour, from Foreign ports, our supply continues weekly to a fair extent; and it having been pretty well ascertained that the expected increase in the duty on Wheat last Friday would not occur, duty was paid only on about 10,000 quarters of Wheat, on about 6000 barrels of Flour, and on almost the whole (about 4000 quarters) of Barley up to and including Thursday last. During the past week the weather has continued very favourable for all agricultural produce ; we have, however, experienced a more active and extensive demand for Wheat and Flour, of which some very considerable sales have been effected, in bond and free, and for every article in the Corn trade, at about the prices of last Tues. day: which, for Flour, were easily obtained, and in some instances a little exceeded here, and in all our country markets. The duty on Grain from Foreign ports has, since Friday last, in creased Is 6d per quarter on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat but decreased on Oats. Beans and Peas Is 6d per quarter ; and although now with every prospect that it will be increased 2s per quarter on Wheat, and laid per barrel on Flour next Friday, very considerable transactions have occurred in both articles, free and in bond, particularly in the latter in bond, on the passage at 24s 3d to 24 6d, in docks and in warehouses here at 245 6d to 255, and in smaller quantities •at 25s rid per barrel , and millers, dealers, ex porters, and speculators, for a reduction in the duties before next harvest, have been purchasers. Oats, in bond, continue nominally at 3s 8d to 3s 9d per 451 b. and these is a prospect of the duty being still materially reduced. This day's market was pretty well attended by our own millers and dealers, and by many from distant markets; an advance of 2d to 3d per '7olb. on Wheat, and 3d to 6d per barrel on Flour was steadily demanded, and obtained to a moderate extent.—Malt was Is per quarter lower, but for all other articles our last quotations were obtained.
