LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four a' Clock.
IN the House of Lords, last evening, the Consoli-
dated Fund, and Loan Bills, were read a third time,
the remainder of the sitting being occupied with the
discussion of the petitions presented on the subject of
the Birmingham and Oxford, and Birmingham, Wol-
verhampton, and Dudley Railway Companies, which
eventually were referred to a select committee, to
consist of Ave peers, to be nominated by the com-
mittee of selection ; Lord BROUGHAM'S observations
with respect to proceedings on railway bills in
" &Bother place," extensively exciting the risibility
of their lordships, and producing legislative ap-
plause.
In the Howie of Commons, Lord MORPETH, in
answer to Mr. Coctirrr, assured the bon. member
that it was intended to complete the Nelson column,
and that the site for the Wellington Statue was de-
termined to be Waterloo-place; the expense of the
removal to be defrayed by the committee; that of its
re-elevation by the government: en announcement
which occasioned some merriment. The noble lord
also, in answer to Sir De LACY EVANS, said, with a view
to the occupation of the new House of Lords for
the despatch of business after the Easter recess, that
it had become necessary to interdict the admission of
the public from Saturday next. At the end of the
session he should be happy, with the concurrence of
the House of Lords, to take the necessary steps for
the re-admission of visitors to view such portions of
the New Palace, as may then be completed. Sir
O. GREY, in answer to Mr. MILNES, observed that
ekes and estimates approved of by the Commissioners
of Woods and Forests, were under the consideration
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with a view
to the erection of a general Record Office. On
the motion of Lord J. Roseau., the Rev. Dr.
paltry,. Archdeacon of Survey, was directed to
peach before the House of Commons on the Fast
Day, Mr. Hula putting in a claim for the chaplain
of the house to perform that duty, Sir 0. GREY re-
plying that the state of the reverend gentleman's
loath prevented the possibility of hie so doing.
The adjwanted debate on the subject of the annexa-
tion of Orseow, and the withholding of the payment,
by England, of the Russo-Dutch loan prospectively,
was then resumed, Sir J. WALSH, Lord H. VANE,

The intelligence from the United States by the

eially than commercially. The higher prices ot cora and bread-
stuffs are rendered all the wee oppressive by the lower rates

In foreign stocks we have had scarcely any business, and
the quotorms may be substantially reported as before for
the most part. In Dutch stoe.ks, however, a rather
material improvement may be noticed, the Two-and-
