MARK-LANK-THIS DAY.
We had a fair quantity of English Wheat on show this
morning, most of it left over from Monday's market. The
trade was much firmer under the influence of unsettled
weather, and improved accounts from the principal con-
tinental markets ; and the whole of the samples were cleared
off at an advance of ls. per qr. Foreign Wheat was in,
limited request, but there wu a decidedly better feeling iss
the trade.

Fleur is unchanged in value, but American qualities
were rather more inquired for.
The continued large arrivals of Oats renders it .I,tticult
to support pricer, though no further concession was made
to-day; all other spring Corn remains as on Mouday.

THE DECIMAL COINAGE.—An interesting report

far superior to the present system. The committee regard
the present time as especially adapted for its introduction,
in consequence of the prosperous state of the whole commu-
nity, including those clauses which would be more immedi-
ately affects d by the change, and they feel the importance
of not allowing such an opportunity to be lost. Great and
permanent benefits will be conferred on the public of this

Willed by tue bill was a better thing than a religious test.

flee >•y •cue declaration in the bill provided a better me-
lba, secue'ty to the church of Scotland than any general
which there wee any hone of being carried
Ntiti.• • about such a declaration. He may have added,
and he bei;ved he did, that the negative test was better
than the present test, which was a peeled farce. That was
what he waist, and not that which had been stated in the
Josue*: .rn question. and which he should be sorry to have
go forth i:.•o Scotland. He bed also said, that not only on

SALT DUTY IN nunA.
Sir J. PAKINOTON Mimi IS he Inn Awn of

tirMli redsrd to the salt duty la India sod also le en

the amount of duty paid by salt in India, whether imparted
or saasukctured in that sentry ?
Sir C WOOD inn only my that be was as maidens
as the rurht hoseerallie gentleman Ainesell to see a redole-
nt. of the salt duty. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, it was
the Rest duty whin ought to be reduced by the
Nest Indian government. (Hear, hear.) Bat he was
met prepeted to dine say immediate reduction of duty,
bosse► that must be leR to the discretion of the govern-
ment el Indic.. The right hoe. gentleman mast be aware
that the revenue of India barely Waned its ezpenditare.

the policy of the ladisagovenumst to nun the duty

question of detail, which ought to be hilt to the local go-
vernment. He would, however. be sled to see a system of
miss inumined if it amid be dens with tasty to the
review..
Sir J. PAKINOTON said that so far as the right hon.
lesseaet'e answer seat, it was satisfactory. He begged,
however. to give Dodos that the question could net be
allowed to mania a the present state. It was his inten-
tion, I. the neat menu of parliament, if the conduct of the
led as puverantest were not satisfactory, to bring the sub-
ject under the consideration of parliament (Cheers.)
TENANTS OF PASTORAL RUNS IN THE COLONY
OF VICTORIA.

Sir J. PAK INCITON then asked the Linder Secretary of
State C.r the Colonies whether it was the intention of her
Majesty'. g meat to propose nay alteration of the
order is under which the tourists uf petoral runs 4
the co nny of Vittoria are entitled OD dilla Marts, or to
mod ear new instructions to the gewgaw ea the subject of
those les*, f
Mr. E PEEL said that the matted referred to by the
right h• o gentleman was perhaps the most difficult one
under 11. e cousideratient of the Colonial-office, as very great
and servos, difficulties were felt by the governments of Vic•
tone sasi of New South Wales in putting tip to sale by
&notion ixtd in sufficient quantities to meet the wants of
*nee risons, who, having acquired wealth at the gold
djegiss., were desirous of investing it in the purchase of
lead. -These difficulties arose out of so order of council of
1147, based upon en act of parliament of the preced-
ing year, which gave to the holders of pastoral
etas ri-rtain rights to leases, and renewals of
MIMS, and rights of preemption. He was, however,
unable to say what coarse the government would
take in reference to the matter; it was still doubtful
whether they would feel it neteesary to amend the order
ia council, or whether they had ea 'eat powers reserved
under that order to remove the difficulties in question.
Sossethuo,r, however, would be done before the waste leads
Gould be banded over to the colonial legislature.
