Imperial parliammt, HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY. CLERGY RESERVES. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the learned judges then in attendance should deliver their decision in answer to the questions submitted to them with regard to the clergy re serves bill. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Court of Common Pleas said, that he had the honour of representing to their lord ships, that all the judt es of England, with the exception of \ Lord Denman and Lord Ahinger. had met at Serjeant's Inn, for the purpose of taking into consideration the several ques tions which their lordships had been pleased to propose to them ; and that after discussion and deliberation on the sub ject, they had agreed unanimously in the answers to be re turned to those questions. In answer to the first AuestiOn, they were all of opinion that the words " protestant clergy in the statute 31st George 111. included other clergy besides those of Church of England. They thought that the words of the statute were meant principally to refer to the doctrines of the Church of Rome, and that their aim was to encourage the protestant doctrines in opposition to those of the Romish church. They answered to the second question, that the es tablished Church of Scotland constituted one, instance of a clergy included in the act. They had come to that opinion, as the expressions, " established Church of Scotland," were to be found in the statute book. Although, in answer to their lordships' question, they specified no other church than .the Church of Scotland, they did not mean to decide that the ministers of no other churches might not be included in the term, " protestant clergy." At the same time, as 'they did not find in the statute book any other denomination of Chris tians, to which the statute of George 111. could apply, they were unable to specify any others to their lordships as falling within the statute. They were of opinion, that the 41st sec tion of the statute was prospective only, and that the power given by it could not affect lands which had been appropri ated under other acts. In answer to the last question proposed by their lordships, they all agreed in opinion that the legis lative council assembled in the province of Upper Canada, had exceeded their authority in passing an act to provide for the sale of clergy reserves, and for the distribution thereof in respect of both the enactments specified in their lordships' questions.—The judges afterwards retired. Earl STANHOPE presented the petition adopted at the Free masons'-hall meeting against the opium trade. The Earl of ROSEBERRY complained of the conduct of parties at that meeting, in having prejudged the whole ques tion. Earl STANHOPE said that he approved of the whole pro ceedings, and that he was quite prepared to take his share of the blame imputed by the noble earl. Lord' STRANGFORD directed attention to a revival, by France, of the slave trade on the western coast of Africa. Lord :MELBOURNE promised to — make inquiry into the matter. __ -- tOrd MELBOURNE moved the second reading of the mu nicipal corporations (Ireland) bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that he should not op pose the second reading, but in the committee he hoped to see several amendments. The Earl of WINCRELSEA moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Their lordships eventually divided. There were for the second reading 131 ; against it 32—majority 99. The committee was fixed for Thursday week ; after which their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--NfoNwci-. After the presentation of manlpetitions, on many sub jects, - _ Mr. LABOUCHERE intimated his intention of moving amendments on the resolution to he proposed by Mr. Herries on ruesday evening. Mr. HUME (having got Lord Palmerston into the house) put to him, agreeably to notice, the following questions : 1. Whether, as stated in public papers, the British government has again interfered, through Lord Ponsonby, to prevent the Sultan from entering into direct negotiations with Mehemet Ali for a settlement of their differences ; and whether, on that occasion, it has acted in concert with the other European powers, or their ministers at Constantinople. 2. Whether any orders have been issued by her Majesty's government for reprisals against Mehemet Ali ; whether, as stated in public journals, two ships sent by Mehemet Ali to bring re cruits from Albania to Candia, had been detained by a Bri tish frigate, and conducted to Corfu; and, whether returned or not. 3. Whether orders had been issued by her Majesty's ministers, or by Lord Ponsonby, to Colonel Hodges, the British Consul-General in Egypt, to interfere in the affairs of Egypt, by giving subjects of the Sultan passports, to leave Egypt under protection of English passports. Lord PALMERSTON announced that the same state of affairs now existed as when the production of correspondence with regard to negotiations was moved for; but that he was quite ready to answer the questions. In the first place, in July last, the representatives of the Five Powers, fearing that the sultan might make unnecessary and injurious concessions to Mehemet Ali, presented a note in the name of their respec tive courts, requesting him not to enter into negotiations with Mehemet Ali respecting anything that had been done without the concurrence of the Five Powers. As to the affair of the ships, information having been received by the High Commissioner of the lonian Islands that two ships had ar rived to recruit, inquiries were made with regard to the officer, who was an agent of Mehemet Ali, and it was found that they were there for the purpose of decoying certain sub jects of the Porte of Albania to proceed to Egypt to form troops to act against the sultan, and Sir Howard Douglas took steps accordingly, and two Greek ships, that were hired for the purpose, were taken. The ships were detained for a short time, and were afterwards released. With regard to the third question, no orders had been given to Col. Hodges, because, as was well known, it was not the practice, except in peculiar cases, to give passports to any but British sub jects; but as this question concerned the officers of the Turkish empire, he had no hesitation in saying that Col. Hodges would only perform his duty if he affbrded any pro tection he was able to give it to any subjects of the sultan who, having been engaged in rebellion, were desirous of re turning to their allegiance. Sir R. PEEL asked whether the mediation of the French government for the settlement of the existing differences between England and Naples had been offered; and, if so, whether it had been accepted. Lord PALMERSTON answered that the good offices of the French government for the arrangement of the differences between her Majesty's government and that of Naples were made some time ago, and had been immediately accepted by her Majesty's government. At the same time a similar offer had been made by the French government to the government of Naples ; and it appeared, from the latest despatches received both from. Naples and Paris, that that offer had been accepted by the gdveriithent at Naples. Sir R Ppi t ,thereupon asked whether the order for repri sals had in consequence been rescinded ? Lord PALMERSTON replied, that it had been agreed that as soon as our representative at the Court of Naples should be officially informed of the arrival of any French diplomatist charged to exercise the good offices of the French Govern. ment, he was immediately to transmit to the officers com- . manding her Majesty's ships instructions to suspend re prisals for a certain time, but from despatches received he learned that at the moment that the French mediation was accepted by the King of Naples. and when, according to the agreement, the reprisals would have been stopped, the Nea politan government laid an embargo on all British vessels in Neapolitan ports, and, consequently, the order for reprisals had not yet been suspended. Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to inquiries said, that it was not now the intention of her Majesty's government to pro pose, this session, any grant on the subject of " emigration." Mr. P. SCROPE asked what progress had been made in the negotiations for compensation to British merchants for losses sustained by them in consequence of the bombard ment of Antwerp. Lord PALMERSTON answered, that claims had been made by the representatives of the British government on the Belgian government, at the same time that similar claims had been made on the Belgian government by the representatives of other governments for losses sustained by their subjects at Antwerp. Those claims were made some time ago. A written reply had been received, which was at present under the consideration of her Majesty's government. Mr. F. FRENCH asked what step was intended to be taken with regard to the re-appointment of the medical committee. Mr. F. MAULS answered that the subject was entirely in the hands of Mr. Warburton, and therefore he could not answer the question. The CH ANCELLOR of the EXCHF.nUER, in answer to Mr. Goulburn's inquiry, said that it was the intention of the government, during the session, to bring forward the sub ject of the mode of paying the expenses of the armament preparing for service in China. Mr. If. GORDON, in answer to Col. Sihthorp's inquiry, stated that he should soon present a retuest of the expenses attending Dr. Bowring's mission. Mr. HUME observed, in reference to a notice that he had on the paper, to move for the immediate production of Dr. Bowring's report with regard to our commercial relations with Egypt and Syria, he wished to know whether that re port would soon be laid before the house. Lord PALMERSTON' answered that considerable part of Dr. Bowring's report referred to political subjects, and that it would not, therefore, b e p roper to l ay i t before the house ; but that part which referred to our commercial relations would shortly be produced. Mr. H UME thereupon withdrew his contemplated motion. The house then resolved into committee of supply, in which Mr. R. GORDON moved many resolutions for grants on the " miscellaneous estimates ;" and many of them called forth observations on the new buildings of the British Mu seum, the " Parliament houses," &c. The report of the resolutions adopted in the estimates was ordered to be received on Tuesday. Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in two bills :- 1. " For the registration of parliamentary electors." 2. "To make further provisions respecting certain rights of voting in the election of members of parliament." In doing so he entered into details of the leading provisions of the proposed The remaining business having been disposed of, the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY. The House of Lords did not sit to-day. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. The Commons sat for a short time. Mr. Bruce took his seat for Elgin ' and Sir A. Brook for Fermanagh, b o th on tha op p os iti on benches. Petitions were presented in great numbers, and on various subjects ; After which Lord MonrEnr, alluding to the violent and awful death of a near relative of his noble friend the Secre tary for the Colonies, said it was due to the interest of the question involved in the discussion of the Irish registration • bill, as well as to the position which the noble lord the Se • cretary for the Colonies held in the house, that he should, if possible, be present at the discussion, and he (Lord Morpeth) therefoie• ventured to express a hope that the noble lord (Lord Stanley) would consent to the postponement of the order for going into committee. Lord STANLEY said, that though he felt the great impor tance which was attached to the question, of which the nu merous attendance, in expectation of its discussion, was the best proof, yet after the appeal which had been made to him, • and seeing how desirable it was that the noble lord, the Se cretary for the Colonies, should be present at the considera- Lion of so important a measure, he felt that he could not do otherwise than consent. He must at the same time say, that as the question was one of such vi tal importance, he might h fairly expect, on the part of her Majesty's ministers, that • some other day, and at no distant period, should be appoint . ed for the discussion. The only object which he had in view was to secure for the question a full, fair, and impartial dis cussion. He only desired that the bill should stand or fall • by its own merits. It was ultimately settled that the committee should be postponed till Monday, the 18th, on the understanding that the motion should have precedence of all others on that day, even if any adjourned debate should be the order of the day. Sir R. INGtas for the same melancholy range which had occasioned the postponement of Lord Stanley's bill, stated that he should not proceed with the motion respecting religi ous instruction, of which he had given notice, for Thursday. Sir R. PEEL said, that as the education vote would be one of those contained in the miscellaneous estimates on Friday, it would be well, for the same melancholy reason, to post pone that, or any other vote which might lead to discussion. The CHANCELLOR of the ExcIIEQUER would not propose any vote which might lead to such a result. Sir J. WALSH wished to know when the evidence before the Cambridge election committee would he laid upon the table ? Mr. Gout.BunN said he had heard that it would be ready on ridgy. ders of the dill , were then disposed of. 4:IV ' f Mr. vsrr, the select committeg on 47Verz --- A.17..,;,-7, t; 4.

After the presentation of some other petitions, the house adjourned at 6 o'clock to Thursday. The lamentable murder of Lord William Russell will, of course suspend all important discussion for some days. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. INDIA. A letter foom Bamearr,"&atecqebruary the Bth, states that Dost Mahonaeanad met with a •cry inhospitable reception at the court of Bokhara. His sons had attempted to escape, but had been recaptured and brought back, and all his fol lowers sent off to Kooloum in a wretched plight, destitute even of the common means of support. Jubbur Khan in tended, it was said, to make overtures to the British on behalf of his brother. The winter was extremely cold on the confines of Affghanistan, and proved particularly fatal to the Hindoostanees. All idea of a Turkistan campaign had been given up. The Agra Ukhbar of the 7th of March, mentions on the other hand, that our European troops in Cabul were suffering severely from sickness. A large convoy then en route to Jellalabad and Cabal, would, it was hoped, go far to restore as it carried a plentiful supply of provisions not procurable in the country. Letters from Bushire to the 20th of February mention that the ex-governor Sheik Hussein, bad commenced block ading the port of Bushire, in retaliation for his late sup pression by the court of Shiraz. It appears that he is possessed of only one middling sized bungalow with about 50 men, yet the Persian government have not a vessel to send against him. He is accordingly inflicting considerable injury on the trade of the port. The Sir Robert Compton had arrived at Bushire, also the Hon. Company's ship Coote, which was acting as guardship for the protection of British property. An express from the political authorities of Bundelcund, arrived at Seepree on the Ilth instant, directing Scindia's reformed contingent to proceed with all possible haste to a fort called Jignah, in which certain turbulent Thakoors have taken shelter and openly defied the British agents. This hill fort is represented as being of considerable strength, and from the circumstance of these chiefs having shown every determination to resist at all hazards, there is every pro bability that the fort will hold out until the guns and howitzers of the contingent have made a proper impression on it. We understand that the Bundelcund Legion had a skirmish with and drove off a large body of men armed with matchlocks. _ _ The contingent marched on the 12th instant, the day Brigadier Anquetel was expected at Seepree. A few days ago we published a piece of intelligence derived from a correspondent in Arracan, to the effect that the Bur mese were stockading upon our side of the line of demarca tion. The following letter, received yesterday, gives some further information upon the subject, and strips the affair of its warlike character : " ARRACAN FEB. 8, 1840.—Have just seen a letter from an officer who has visited the post of Myee, and made par ticular inquiries into the native officer's report, anent the Burmese being building a stockade on our side the mountains. The report, like many others given in by natives, is found to be an exaggeration. It is true that certain subjects of the Golden Empire were on our side the boundary cutting tim ber, but it has not turned out equally correct that said timber was then and there fashioned into the beams of a stockade, though for what purpose the men were cutting timber has not been explained. Now, although the Indian government may, and certainly does not, require this timber for its own particular wants at the present time, yet it is no less certain that the Burmese hewers of wood' have not a shadow of right to trespass on the domain of their too unsusceptible neighbours, and do havoc on the forest without so much as saying by your leave.' " Again, the motive the Burmese may have for cutting this timber remains a mystery ; that the timber is required for transport does not appear probable, since the road is a mere mountain tract, and carriage out of the question ; if, there fore, they do not intend building a stockade on the pass, I cannot conceive what use they intend making of the timber ; it cannot be supposed men would labour without an object in view." CHINA. The accounts from China, received on the 27th ultimo, under date the 20th of January, reported the seizure of two vessels at Whampoa by the Chinese, on the plea that they had brought up goods belonging to the English. • The Em peror had confirmed all the acts of High Commissioner Lin, so that all trade with China might be considered at an end until the final issue of the expedition. The British men-of war were then blockading the Canton river. The Bengal Hurkaru, of the 20th of March, contains news from China to the 15th of January. It states that the in troduction of British goods in American and other vessels, were still rigorously prevented; the Chinese authorities had promised to release Mr. Gribble by the 15th of January, and the Volage had proceeded to the Bogue, with a view of. blockading the port in the event of the Chinese detaining him a day beyond the time named for his emancipation. Four Chinese junks had arrived at Singapore from different parts of the coast of China, the men on board of which state that every thing was quiet in China, and that smuggling was going on glibly ; while others state that the opium prohibi tions were rigidy enforced. According to the same journal, a highly respectable mercantile house in Calcutta had re ceived a letter from Singapore, stating that the officer com manding her Majesty's ships in the China seas had an nounced his determination to blockade the Bocca Tigris if Mr. Gribble should not he released on or before the 24th of January. The Bengal Hurkaru of the 16th of March, publishes the following staff appointments of the China expedition:— " To provide for the staff duties of the force about_ to pro ceed on service to the eastward, the Right Hon. the Gover nor-General of India in council is pleased to make the fol.: lowing appointments : " Major A. H. S. Mountain, of her majesty's 26th Foot, to be deputy adjutant-general. " Major R. Becher, 62d Regiment Native Infantry, to be deputy quartermaster-general. " Major R. W. Wilson, 65th Regiment Native Infantry, to be paymaster. " Major F. S. Hawkins, 39th Regiment Native Infantry, to have charge of the commissariat department, with the rank of deputy commissary-general. • " Lieutenant W. W. Davidson, of the 18th Native Infan try, to be attached to the commissariat department under Major Hawkins, with the rank of sub-assistant commissary general. " Brevet Captain 11. Moore, of the 34th Native Infantry, of the judge-advocate general's department, to be deputy judge-advocate-general, " Surgeon George King to be superintending surgeon. " Assistant-Surgeon William Grahame to be s uaedical store keeper. _ . "The above appointments to have eff'ect from this date. " d. STUART, lieutenant-colonel, " Secretary to the government of India military ' " department." The Emperor of China was so much pleased with the gal lant conduct of Admiral Kwan (see despatch of the 31st of January) in his engagement with the Volage and Hyacinth that h:: raised him to the third heaven. (From the Bombay Gazette, March 30.) LATEST . CHINA NEWS. The Singapore Free Press of the 20th of February, re ceived here yesterday (in seventeen days from Singapore,) brings intelligence from Canton to the 20th of January. An imperial edict was issued on the sth, declaring the English to be outlawed, ordering the trade with our nation to be im mediately and entirely stopped, and threatening the severest punishment to any other people who conveyed or disposed of English goods. This edict was issued in consequence of her majesty's ships Hyacinth and Volage having commenced, as it is said, the horrors of war. Another imperial edict applauded the valour displayed by Admiral Kwan and the officers and ships of war in the action with the Volage and Havcinth at Chumpee on the3d Novem ber last. The emperor is highly pleased with the conduct of the veteran Kwan, who, according to his majesty's edict, valiantly faced the enemy's fire, leaning gracefully but boldly against the mast of his junk during his engagement. H majesty promises the admiral that if in six engagements (in cluding the one at Chumpee) against the English he is equally successful, he is to be raised six steps in rank, and equal promotion is held out to other officers who shall on six different occasions, when lighting against the English be victorious. Mr. Gribble was released from confinement at Canton on the 14th, and is expected to arrive outside in the Thomas Coutts. Her majesty's ships Volage and Hyacinth are blockading the Bogue until, it is presumed, Mr. Gribble's arrival there. Captains Smith and Elliot, when walking on shore one day, near Chumpee, were nearly taken by a number of Chinese soldiers, had not their swift retreat and the guns from the queen's cutter bearing upon their pursuers saved them. It is very singular, but it is stated to be a fact, that the commissioners sent to the frigates at the Bogue a present of beef and and cabbages, which were not, however, accepted. A remarkable edict had been issued from the commissioner and Hoppo, who, being disappointed at not being likely to get any duties from three American ships which had entered the port empty, caused the Hoppo to visit the ships in per son, and finding that, though without cargo, the ships had not brought funds sufficient in dollars wherewithal to pur chase a home cargo, those dollars are to be weighed by the Hoppo, and then to he deposited in the Consoo-house, the Hong merchants to act as treasurers to the Americans, that these vessels may take away no more cargo than they brought money to pay for. Two ships, the Danske Konige and the Norden, that ap pear to have been sold by the English, and under Danish colours, were seized at Whampoa and confiscated, on the charge of their being still in reality English property.— Colombo Observer, March 9. (From the Bombay Times, March 10.) The latest news from Arracan is that the Burmese, with 15,000 men (muskets) are at the Sungyoch Pass, in a threat ening position. There is a rumour of an expedition being contemplated by Schah Soojah against Herat, where his authority is still held at nought by Prince Kamram. STATE OF TRADE. Idaconsiderable and e in especially MANCHESTER.—There was a good demand for yarn yesterday, especially for n um b ers and qualities suit e d to th e East India and Mediterranean markets, i a' amo unt of business was done, but without change For goods the demand continues to be limited, i for 27-inch printing cloth , which is much dep coun try trade, we believe, there has been a ver r y e"e goo ( d i. b Il Isnn the s for some time past, and the number of buyers at present in town is more than usually large. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MAY sTH.—This market to day may fairly be termed animated, there being many Lon don, Irish, and Leeds buyers present, who bought freely of all sorts of saleable good s, es p eciall y in su p eri or qualities anti new styles ; in fact, the supply in fresh goods was not equal to the demand. Prices, however, do not much improve ; but now that the demand is greater than the supply, it rests with the producers mainly as to what remuneration they get for goods to order. Wools were very firm, and the demand is greater. Business in the warehouses is rather better. On the whole, improvement is certain, but very gradual.— Manchester Guardian. BLACKBURN.—During the past week a slight improve ment has taken place in some descriptions of hand-loom goods ; hut with this exception we are not aware of anything either in cloth or yarns that has at all changed for the better ; and with respect to some fabrics of power-loom goods the manufacturer is doing worse than he was six or eight weeks ag?— oc inackburn Standard. last_tt e tw T o t tonAl markets it FLANNEL Whave considerably more pieces sold to-day, than on the buyers never fa.;inbotut the ' prices have been extremely low.

Po ttrp. A HYMN. (From Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.) O unseen Spirit ! now a calm divine Comes forth from thee, rejoicing earth and air ! Trees, hills, and houses, all distinctly shine, And thy great ocean slumbers everywhere. The mountain ridge against the purple sky Stands clear and strong with darkeu'd rocks and dells, And cloudless brightness opens wide on high A home aerial, where thy presence dwells. The chime of bells remote, the murmuring sea. The song of birds in whispering copse and wood, The distant voice of children's thoughtless glee, The maiden's song, are all one . voice of good. Amid the leaves' green mass, a sunny play Of flash and shadow stirs like inward life ; The ship's white sail glides onward far away, Unhaunted by a dream of storm or strife. Upon the narrow bridge of foot-worn plank, The peasant stops where swift the waters gleam, And broods as if his heart in silence drank More freshening draughts than that untainted stream. The cottage roof, the burn, the spire, the graves, All quaff the rest of seasons hush'd as this ; And earth enjoys, while scarce its foliage waves, The deep repose and harmony of bliss. • O Thou! the primal fount of life and peace, Who shed'st thy breathing quiet all around, In me command that pain and conflict cease, And turn to music every jarring sound. How longs each gulf within the weary soul To taste the life of this benignant hour, To be at one with thine untroubled Whole, And in itself to know thy hushing power ! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. MR. SCOBLE AND THE ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY. (From the Guiana Chronicle.) The uncurbed sensibility of the abolitionists of England, is doing more to rivet the chains of the African in the foreign colonies, than they seem at all aware of ; and excites an alarm which will retard, if not entirely frustrate, the very object which they profess to have in view. That the peasant should endeavour to. make the most of his labour ; is a maxim, which we will not take upon ourselves to deny, but that his demands should be limited within the bounds of reasonable remuneration, in our present condition, we respectfully contend. The interests of 'the employer and the labourer, are so united, that ruin must be the con sequence to both, if the latter persevere in demanding wages so exhorbitant, that the produce of the estate will not warrant a compliance with the exaction. When these humane enthusiasts of the Anti-Slavery Society were lately here, did one of them ever attempt to im press on the minds of the laborers the wisdom of moderation in their demands, even for their own sakes ? Not one : on the contrary, we ourselves heard one of them (Mr. Scoble) distinctly advise the audience at a meeting convened by himself, not to take em ployment, unless they were paid well, and largely too, and to leave the service of those, who did not concede their demands. What has been the result of all this ? Why, that in consequence of the negroes adopting such advice, the staple has been diminished ; and, to supply the defficiency, a cry has been raised, that the produce of slave-holding states will he admitted to compete with that manufactured by the aid of free labour. This alarm, we have, before said, we think unfounded ; but, even so, its effect will be most disasterous to the cause to which the Abolitionists ostensibly have devoted themselves. LORD STANLEY'S REGISTRATION BILL (From the Times.) There is no subject at this moment, foreign or do mestic, of such unspeakable importance as Lord Stan ley's bill, the second reading of which stands for Wed nesday, the 6th instant—of importance to the country, because the question of an independent and effective constituency, or worse than none, is involved in the good or bad success of the measure—of importance to the ministry, because, if the bill passes, they are at once annihilated. • We . make no apology, therefore, for so repeatedly directing public attention to the nature both of the dis ease and of the remedy. That the Irish franchise is in a state so corrupt and gangrened to its very centre, as to call for some prompt and decisive remedy, is acknowledged by every man in Parliament. We are not sure that O'Connell him self has ventured to deny that glaring fact. But it is a vague acknowledgment which costs nothing, and is worth nothing, inasmuch as when these gentry come to particulars, there is no specific evil connected with the existing practice, and exhibited in the present state of the constituency of Ireland, for which any cure has ever been proposed that is not, when you come to touch it with the caustic, held by the priests and agitators to be essential to the " fair working" of the elective fran chise, while every provision for practically purifying or amending it is exclaimed against as " an audacious at tempt to rob the people of Ireland of their vested rights, and to curtail the just enjoyment of the fran chise." Certainly, a more " audacious" calumny than this was never before palmed upon mankind. The au thors of the turbulent outcry against this measure ne ver risk even the shadow of an argument, pro or con. They never Even pretend to inform us what one "ves ted right" the bill attempts to meddle with—of what franchise lawfully obtained it obstructs or harasses the possessor—of what real qualification it impairs the use, or renders the legitimacy unavailing—against what honest, conscientious man, it operates. They can, in fact, show none of these things; they are well aware that the sole purpose of Lord Stanley is to protect the real elector against the fictitious, the upright against the fraudulent, the fair trader against the pirate, the constitution of Parliament itself against a constitution set up in defiance of Parliament by a power which jobs for its own sordid and insidious ends the authority of religion, the credulity of superstition, the scruples of conscience, and the deathbed agony. By that un holy power has the persecuting war against Lord Stan ley's remedial measure been begotten, and wickedness and falsehood worthy of such a parantage are stamped on every feature of the offspring. EQUALIZATION OF THE SUGAR TRADE. (From the Guiana Chronicle.) A great deal of unfounded alarm appears to prevail among our island neighbours on this subject ; and several meetings have been held in Trinidad ; Grenada, &c., for the purpose of petitioning parliament against any attempt to carry it into effect. We can not imagine that the British nation would act so unjustly, so unwisely, as to contemplate any such movement as to admit into the market, the pro duce of slave holding countries, on an equalify with that manufactured by free men in her own colonies. If such a measure were adopted, the boon of emanci pation would be at once neutralized, and an impetus given to the slave-trade, which would cause it to flou rish with redoubled success, not merely as regards the Brazils, Porto Rico, Cuba, &c., but as a consequence it would for ever rivet the chains of the slaves in Ame rica, and in the colonies of France, &c., when it would be seen, that so far from the emancipation of the ne gro working well for the mother country, a decided in jury had been inflicted by that measure on her depen dencies, and, consequently, on herself. The injustice of such a proceeding is so apparent, that all consideration of it must be laid aside, when we approach the discussion of the subject, and the bane ful consequences to the people of England themselves, should-be placed before them. The ruin that would ensue from the abandonment of the sugar manufactory, would be felt not merely by those concerned in that trade, but immense loss would be entailed on the country itself, through the navy, which as far as the \Vest India trade is concerned, has already considerably decreased, but which, in the event of such a measure as the 'equilization of duties" passing, would dwindle away almost to nothing, in these latitudes, thereby depriving the Treasury of se veral millions per annum. But the arguments against this measure are so nu merous and so.well-founded, that we cannot conceive any minister hardy enough to propose it, and, there fore shall not follow up the subject any further—nor indeed would we have noticed it at all, but"that the proprietary body in sonic of the islands seems to enter tain serious apprehensions that the attempt will be made by some pseudo-economists, early in the next session of Parliament. We, however, entertain no such fears. THE ROODEE-CHESTER. (From flee Chester Gazette.) The establishment of the races at Chester is of great anti quity. We find mention made of them in our annals at a very early period. There is a remarkable note of them in the year 1609, when, we apprehend, the present races were commenced. During the mayoralty of Mr. J. Leicester, e re oth to er Mr. Amery, the sheriff of the preceding year, gave three sil ver cups to be run for on St. George's Day. Two of the I):%'•asgitvoenbeto r the ati fo firstthe andsam same, upon cond the horses,said Roodee, upon St. George's Day—being thus decreed " that cups y o h r o h rs e e l putt ti d s o had much the monie moaie washirenhadheortshees didvaluwe with h f the the same, and the use of the cups, till that day twelvemonth, being in bond to deliver in the cups that day •, soe also the cup for the ringe, which was yearly continued accordirigl until the year of our Lord 1628 " This custom. at the sug gestiony of the mayor, John Bre; eton was then dropped.

The Roodee takes its name from the Saxon word Rood, a cross ; Dee, from the River, distinguishing the cross that stood upon it from the cross which stood at St. Peter's Church. The cross marked the boundary of the land belong.. ing to the Nuns at Chester; opposite what is called the Nuns' Gardens the shaft still remains. " The Roodee contains about ninety acres ; the course is more than a mile; the grand stand was erected in 1817. It was very much enlarged in 1827. The Rood-dee was en closed about the year 1587, and sold to one Thomas Lymal , a merchant, who paid £2O. per annum to the Corporation of Chester for it. In consideration of his making a quay, it was stipulated that that person was to receive 2d. per ton for every boat passing in and (mt. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,--THIS DAY. We have no Wheat or Flour to report from Ireland since the sth inst.; and of other articles thence and generally Coastwise, the arrivals are unusually small ; while of foreign produce we have merely to notice 5685 qrs. of Wheat, 26 qrs. of Barley from Europe, and 600 barrels of Flour from the American States. The duty on foreign 'Wheat is again raised to 16s. Bd. per qr., on Flour to 108. Old. per barrel, and reduced on Beans to 6s. 6d. per qr., remaining in all other respects the same as last week. From the Ist to the stb inst. inclusive, 21,649 qrs. of foreign Wheat, 5938 qrs. of Barley, and 23,816 barrels of Flour, were released from bond here ; since then a further large amount of duties have been paid, the particulars of which are not yet officially declared. In the course of yesterday we had a fine genial rain for several hours, and with warm forcing weather since, the im proved face of the country is already apparent : notwith standing which, arid the large quantity of foreign Wheat and Flour, now available for consumption, the trade has remained firm, and since Tuesday a fair extent of business has been transacted. At our market this morning good descriptions of duty-paid foreign Wheat, although by no means in lively request, were taken off upon a moderate scale, principally by our local millers at the full rates of Tuesday, and in a few partial in stances, a slight advance was realized ; but on country or Irish account, we had little passing to-day, and English as well as Irish Wheat, appeared to meet very little attention. To the exclusion of home-made and Irish Flour, free Ame rican commanded a fait steady sale at our last quotations. although the stock in bond is now mostly entered for con sumption. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, continued to rule nearl the same as yesterday. Oats, in the absence of fresh supplies and very few offer ing from Granary, were held on rather higher terms, but being taken off sparingly, it was difficult to obtain any actual amendment ; and to the trade fur Oatmeal similar remarks were applicable.

It will probably be recollected that a few years ago a native of Nottingham, named John Leman, framework-knitter, laid claim to a baronetcy, and certain large estates in the coun ties of Hertford, Huntingdon, Cambridge, and Middlesex, belonging to the Lemans of Northaw. The distinguished individuals from whom he deduced his descent were wealthy, influential men in their day. With an honest view to per petuate their names, and to make their extensive possessions secure to their latest posterity, they were at great pains to execute several important deeds of trust (one of which is for the term of a thousand years), for the exclusive use and benefit of their " heirs male for ever." The founder of the family was the Right Honourable Sir John Leman, Lord Mayor of the city of London, a native of Suffolk, w h o flourished in the reign of King James I. Sir John was an enterprising mer chant, and was the first in London who sent ships to the north to fish for whales. He was a special favourite of King James because, among other courteo us qua lifi ca ti ons o f th a t age, Si r John believed in the supernatural power of the Witch of Endor as much as his Majesty did, who prevailed on the learned bishops to interpret her mysterious art as we now have it in the Bible. His lordship died without issue, and was succeeded in his great wealth and influence by his nephews. He settled the most of his property on his fa vourite nephew, William Leman, a middle-aged, dark-com plexioned, pleasant, good-tempered gentleman, who was a rich linen draper and silk mercer in the city of London. In the year 1631 he purchased the beautiful extensive manorial estate of Northaw, a parish in the hundred of Castrio, of the liberty of St. Alban's, in the county of Hertford, with the church patronage, &c. He afterwards became M.P., and high sheriff of Hertfordshire. Hence in his official journies he had often to pass through Edmonton, Cheshunt, &c. with his lady and numerous issue (seven sons and eight daughters). The wags of the day raised a humorous report of a curious adventure that the high sheriff of Hertford had on the road, which one of the English bards has since immortalized in comic poetry, under the fictitious name of "John Gilpin," probably derived from one of Sir William's estates, which was anciently called " Gilpinham." Though he was patron of the churches of Warboys, Northaw, and other valuable livings elsewhere, he privately favoured the nonconform ists, and openly differed with sonic of the leadißg men of the age as to the possibility of compelling, by means of acts of Parliament and armed soldiers, the entire inhabitants of Great Britain to adopt an universal creed (Lutheran), which was the mad whim of King Charles 11. that led to the la mentable feuds and bloodshed between the church party, non-conformists, and covenanters. In the 17th year of King Charles 11. (3d March, 16650 a royal patent was granted to the said William Leman, cre ating him a baronet, with limitation to his heirs male law fully begotten. This was one of the most eventful periods in the history of England, by the dreadful plague which first broke out in St. Giles's, and afterwards spread desolation in the great emporium of the world. It was about this time that the wandering tribes of Israel first settled in Goodman's fields, under the auspices of the benevolent owner, since which time the Jews have wonderfully multiplied on this leasehold property of the Lemans, and to their honour be it spoken, some of them were willing to surrender their lease holds to the late Sir John (well knowing they had no right to the ownership), provided they were liberally dealt with. Sir William, with many other good men, were of essential ser vice during the plague, and the great fire that succeeded it. The distinguished house of Northaw connected itself by mar riage with the Earl of Manchester, and other great families, and continued to flourish in the person of three Sir William Lemans, during the respective reigns of King William and Queen Mary, Quee n A nne , an d th royal house of Hanover. The account then goes on to state, that on the death of the late Sir William Leman, the vast property fell into the hands of strangers in blood, and was last possessed by William Strode, who died in 1809, and by his will directed his trus tees to throw the Leman property into chancery, for the purpose that justice should be. done to the true heirs. Then commenced one of the most extraordinary heavy suits in chancery on record, " Strode v. Cassacnajor," for the honest distribution of the Leman property, which has proved a mine of wealth to several lawyers. In consequence of the public advertisements and quibbles between the contending parties, not one of whom, as may be seen from their own statements in chancery, is a single blood drop to the Le mans, the rights of the true heirs became more fully known to them. It is not a little extraordinary that several claim ants, who are all aliens in blood to the house of Northaw and Warboys, are actually foreign adventurers residing in Germany, whose names are as strange as their claims are unjust. " Wineslaus Charles Labra de Wackenburgh, and Charles Francis Xavier Melon de la Greze, often occur in the proceedings." With a view to afford. our readers a correct statement of the Leman funds, we subjoin the following extract taken from the books of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, which proves the accumulation from Strode's death to 1822 to be this, viz : Amount of Three per Cent. Bank Annuities £467,190 17 0 Ditto Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities.. 127,964 10 6 £595,155 7 6 This sum afterwards proportionately increased. The suit for this vast property will be commenced forth with. The writer adds—" We learn that Mr. !Godfrey Leman is already more fortunate than Sir John, not only in having a virtuous race of children, b u t because he is a steady, modest, unassuming man, and he and his son Edward have fortu nately selected to their confidence men, who, to use a Not tingham exp ress i on , ha ve ' the honesty, the ability, and proper stuff to pull the claimant through his difficultie s .' He has go t t h e b est l egal a d v i ce that his claims are good, and we sincerely wish him success.

There has been a good demand for Cotton to-day, and the sales are 5000 bags, including 1000 on speculation and 300 for export, with a very firm market. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 7. The Butter market still continues brisk, with well sustained prices. As, however, the weather now assumes a rainy appear ance, some reduction may be looked for. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 5 The imports of Wheat, Flour, and Barley, have again been pretty considerable from Foreign ports, but from Ireland and Coastways the arrivals of Grain have been very small, since Tuesday last: the reduction of the duty on Foreign Wheat and Flour, accomplished very barely on Friday last, was confidently anticipated throughout the whole of the past week, and in consequence, those articles were offered free for home use at a trivial decline, whilst in bond they were held at a small advance, but not 'sufficiently decided to alter our quotations, and sales to a fair extent were effected :—for fine mealing Oats an advance of Id to ad per 451 b and of Is per 2401 b • for fine Oatmeal was obtained ; Malt, Malting and Grinding Bar ley, Beans and Peas, found very moderate sales at nearly our last quotations. The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports was reduced on Friday last to 13s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 8s 2jd per barrel ; on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, and Peas is 6d per quarter ; it is likely duty will be immediately paid on the two first-named articles, as it is very probable the duties may be again increased next Friday ; some considerable parcels of both articles in bond have changed hands, at about the last quotations; duty has been paid on almost all the Foreign Barley; Oats in bond are almost nominal at 3s 6d to 3s 10d per 451 b. The weather has continued very fine, without one drop of rain since she 11th ult. and with very little since the 10th February!— nevertheless the previous moisture of the earth, and the nightly dews cause the country to assume a healthy green and favourable appearance; winter-sown Wheat looks very well, but most spring sown Grain and Grass reported to be very short, and except in rich low-lying lands, very thin : but no injury Is as yet done which may not be speedily remedied by warm showers, now certainly very much wanted throughout this district, and we believe everywhere. At this day's market sales to a fair extent were made of Wheat and Flour in bond and free, at fully our last quotations • Oats sold at 2d to 3d per 45113 and Oatmeal Is to is 6d per 2401 b advance, and for every other article there was a moderate demand at fully our last quotations. _ _ Wirk:AT, per 7ulbs s: d. s. d.
