COMMERCIAL AND MAREETS.

MARIC-LANE.—THIS DAY.
The supply of English Wheat by land carries* samples
from Essex and Kent, was not large this morning, the bulk
consisting of the old crop ; most of the new was in very in-
differt nt condition; the prices realised were, however, fully
equal to those of Monday last, quality and condition con-
sidered.

The arrivals of foreign Whest durinz the week amount to
88.833 qrs. ; holders evinced great confidence, and needy
buyers (particularly of fine Baltic red Wheats), had to pay
estllDie rates. _ _

Flour fully maintained former rates.
Barley was in short supply, and its value was well sup-
ported ; some fine new parcels realised 424. to 445.
Notwithstanding the large arrival of about 127,000 qrs.
of Oats during the past week, purchases could not be made
upon so good terms as at the close of last week.
We continue without supplies of Beans and Peu, and
prices consequently are against the buyer.

GERMANY.

_ *__

The German journals slate that the Costa business
at Sin) ma was to be discussed, together with the
Eastern question, at Olmutz, while the Emperor of
Russia should bo there, though what he has to do
with it does not at once appear. A case analogous
to Costa's is now before the American lega-
tion at Berlin. A M. Henry Von Oebsche
was condemned in 1849 to four years' im-
prisonment for an offence of the press: but he fled to
the United States in 1840, and obtained naturalisa-
tion as an American citizen. About a year ago he
returned to Hamburg on private business. He was
arrested, given up to the Prussian authorities, and
removed to the gaol of I.iegnitz, where he has since
remained. He has applied to the American Lega-
tion for protection as a citizen of the United States.
The send-official journal of Dresden contradicts
the news given by the Buersenhalle to the effect
that a new tariff of entry duties had been es-
tablished between Austria and the Zullverein,
and that the articles of the tariff bad been reduced
to eighty.

SPAIN.

- ... ..--

A royal decree removes Lieutenant- General
Canedo from the post of Governor and Captain-
General of Cuba, and appoints Lieutenant-General
de la Pezucla to the post. Other royal decrees
nominate General Lersundi to the Captaincy-General
of Seville, General Jose de la Concha to the Director-
ship of Cavalry, General Cordova to the Directorship
of Infantry, and appoint several new captains-general
of provinces. The Clamor Public° says that it was
reported that the government intended to convoke
the Cortes towards the middle or latter end of the
next month, and to re-establish the decree of M.
Pidal on the press. But from letters it would ap-
pear that the cabinet has not yet come to any reso-
I lution on these subjects.

IVORICHO USE.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the guardians of the
poor of St. Marylebone,
Mr. Rex, the secretary, read a letter from the Poor-law
Board, enclosing the copy of a letter extracted from a daily
paper of Thursday, complaining that on the night of the
22nd the writer found four females lying outside the Mary-
lebone Workhouse door on the pavement, and that on his
applying at the gate the porters told him they could not
' admit them, and that it frequently happened that there
were 20 of a night lying on the pavement. The Poor-law
Board requested an explanation.
Mr. RIMELL moved that the subject be referred to a
committee. These statements in the public press were
calculated to bring greut discredit upon the guardians, but
the fault lay in the system. The guardians of Marylebone
were quite ready to enter into any uniform system which
might be adopted ; but, if Marylebone alone were to admit
the houseless poor at night, they would soon find thir
workhouse swarming with the lazy and idle of all other
parishes and unions in and near the metropolis.
Mr. hlyasolt, the overae, r, in answer to • question, said
he had known as many as 300 out on the pavement in a
night. Sime years since they had a nightly asylum to ac-
commodate 140 homeless and casual poor, and the result
wee that hundreds came from all parts ; and he and other
officers were kept frequently from ten at night till two in
the morning investigating their cases, and that knocked it
on the head.

Mr. POLAND, who seconded the resolution, said it was
notorious that in all the parishes and unions of the metro-
polis they would find people lying outside on the pa, went
in front of the workhouse. at night. It was no new sub-
ject, and no remedy could be applied for the evil until the
legislature, as was Unit. ditty, j.sscd some act on the sub-
ject.
After some discusidon, the resolution was carried and a
committee appointed, and the board separated after oth,r
business.

IMPROPER REFUSAL OF WAGES. —At the Man-
cheater City Police Court, yesterday, a manufacturer,
named Roger Crewe. was summoned by Ann Molony, one
of his hands, for refusing to pay her three days' wages. as
weaver. The amount claimed was 61. Bd., and complainant
stated that it hail been withheld because she was one of a
deputation appointed by the hands to wait upon Mr. Crewe
and ask for an advance of wages ; and she had been dis-
missed in consequence. Mr. Cie 4C said he had only so'
pei:deil her for a day or two ; but his hands all turned out,
and refused to return to wt.rk unleqs be gave them an
Vance of ten per cent. Tne magistrates were of opinion
that Mr. Crewe had placed himse't out of court by suspend
ing h,r, because it was equivalent to a dismissal with',"
notice, and under the circumstances she had a right to
please herself whether she returned to work or not. Re
must, therefore, pay the wages, and the costs of the
summons.

CHRISTIA'SIA, &rt. 23.

Cholera is now, thank Heaven, on the decline ; only 50
cues today. This is a great improvement on 9) odd. The
total number of deaths already amounts to about 1,400—
pretty well out of 15,000. It hos not spared age, rank, or
locality, selecting its prey indiscriminately. In must cases
it has defied medical aid, hurrying off its •ectima into the
other world after a few brief hours' notice—occasionally

without those striking premonitory indications characteris-
tic of Asiatic cholera—whilst the apparently strong and
healthy hare had no greater immunity than the weak and
peal.

COLLISION ON THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE

RAILIV.4I'.

. -

MEXAMOL Olt, FRIDAY.

A collision occurred on this line of railway yes-
terday afternoon, which, although, fortunately, not of a
fatal character, has been attended with a certain amount of
injury to the passengers. One of the Midland passenger
trains running between Slicffifid and lloacester left the
latter town ou the afternoon above stated at 1.1.3, its usual
time, and as it appreeched the Mezbrouasla juiction, ,vhich
connects the South Yorkshire Railway with the main
line of the North Midland, the signals were lowered as
usual, and not the slightest danger was apprehended. As
the train neared the station, however, a Barnsley passenger
train was observed upon the same line. The driver whistled,
but it was then too late to avert a collision, as
almost immediately alter the danger was apparent
the Midland train ran into the South Yorkshire
one with great vitdence. All the passengers were much
shaken, and many of them more or leas bruised, but we
have not heard of any injuries likely to have a fatal result.
Two commercial gentlemen from Sheffield,who were seated
in a second clans carriage, were thrown against the sides of
the carriage with great violence, and one of them was in•
jured on the knee, and the other suffered a contusion on the
side of the head. Mr. Blythe, of Conisbro, inspector on the
South Yorkshire Railway, was in the train, and he
was ihjured on the shoulder. The fireman escaped
injury, but the engine man woe hurt on the

shoulder, but not seriously. At the point where the
accident took place, the South Yorkshire Company have
since their disagreement with the Great Northern worked
the Barnsley traffic, and the accident is reporttd to have (se-
cured as follows :—The driver of the South Yorkshire train
had been engaged in shunting some goods waggons, which
were about to he attached to the Bernslay paescager train,
Into the Meahrough siding, and he failed to clear the line
before the Midland train wu due. Ti. buffer plauks of
the engine were smashed, and the rode bent by the force of
the collision. We undentead that an inquiry into the
cause of the accident will take place today.

Secretary proceeded through the narrow attests, accompa-
nied by hi. very docile but very formidable-looking acqui•
anon, the Turks did not By, nor did they seek shelter, nor
put tt.-mselves in attitude of resistance. They stood still
and trembled. Some mattered only " Wonderful ! wonder-
ful!" others adopted literally the Ilaydon phrase, "Our
trust is in Ood." One old mon we heard to excla'sn,
" of the creations of 0.,d are terrible !" and another
gravely ....11.d the dignified dog, "Art thou sent to vit-

"God can protect us even fr m thee, oh terrible one !"

IN TEE TWO

The Rev. W. Shaw says:
" Sir,—The article headed as above has recalled to my
mind that about two years ago, soon after the death of my
(ether, an exactly similar letter to the one sent to Mr.
Chadwick, addressed to my father at his Late rectory, came
into say hands as his representative. The subject and pur-
port of the letten were idaatically the same, I believe
tot:dens wide ; it was also signed E., but I cannot remem-
ber whether the name of the gaol and that of the doctor
were the same, though lam pretty sure the latter was. I
had personal reason to know that it was impossible my
father could have had anything to do with such a ;
and, therefore, in my innocence, not inspecting a fraud, I
merely concluded that there was a 'Kaneko as to the party,
and that some ether 24x. Shaw was tie dear and honoured
benefactor; though I was quite mystified as to how the
mistake about the address could have accursed, and imme-
diately enclosed the letter with a note to the above purport
in a fresh envtlope, addressed to the doctor, but without, as
lam uow glad to think, paying the posta:e, though I well
remember hesitating whether I snoo.d not do so. Of course,
I have heard no more of the matter, but, as the fraud has
probably been pretty extetuively tried on, and no doubt,
like old Joseph Ady's, with considerable success, I send
you this as a confirmation of the rascally nature of the
attempt, and that, by your insertion or notice of it, the pub-
lic may be warned os quickly and ratatuively as possible.—
I am, iir, yours faithfully, W. SHAW.

TOTAL LOSS OP TIIE VICTORY STEAM-PACKET OPP
1112 COAST 02 W221111111.-131118TOL, FRIDAY, SEPT.
M.—lntelligence has reached this city of the total loss of
the steam-ship Victory, one of the tine packets of the Dublin
and Witte:ford Steam Navigation Company, and which
traded between the last-named port and Bristol. From
the accounts which reach us it would appear that the
Victory, which was commanded by an experienced captain
(Stacey), upon her arrival at Waterford, was engaged by
the government to carry a detachment of troops from that
city to Liverpool. This she did, and was on her return
voyage from Liverpool to Waterford, when, while off
Wexford cou•, she struck upon a rock, and went down
almost immediately. A letter, which the head engineer
addressed hastily in pencil to his wife, has been received,
and it states the gratifying intelligence that all hand were
sleet!, hut gives no particulars of the mode in which their
escape WVI accompr shed.

PILOTAGE BILL.

Mr. DEEDES asked whether the second reading of the
Pilotage Bill would be postponed till after Easter ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that he would
state to-morrow at what time after Easter the second read-
ing would be taken.

THE LORD WARDEN OF THE CINQUE PORTS.

Mr. lIUME begged to ask the noble lord (J. Russell) whe-
ther ho would have any objection to a committee to inquire
into what were the duties of the Lord Warden of the Cinque
Ports. It was a sinecure ; and the committee of that house
on official salaries had stated it to be one, and agreed that
it ought to be dealt with whenever it was vacant. There
ought to he some inquiry into the duties and emoluments
of the office.

Lord J. RUSSELL said that in the ennui) of the pro-
ceedings on the Pilotage Bill there would be no objection
to the production of papers, to show the nature of the office.
Ai to the salary, it was formerly 4,0001. a year, it was now
about 4001.

LIMITED LIABILITY.

Mr. CAYLEY begged to a-k the President of the
Board of Trade whether any progress was being made to.
wards the appointment of a commission to inquire into the
question of limited liability in partnerships.
Mr. CARDWELL said the subject was under the
anxious consideration of the government, and ho hoped

was steps would soon be takeEtowards an inquiry.

AUCTION AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Yesterday an occasion out of the common order of
theatrical representation drew together a speci.il audir nee
at this temple of the lyric drama. A gentleman to whom
the valuable properties of tt e theatre and the tenant's fiz-
tures were mortgaged four years since attempted to realise
his interest in the same, amounting to about 12,0001.,
through the agency of Mr. Scott, auctioneer, of Broad.
street. At 2 o'clock all corners were admitted on purchase
of a shilling catalogue, in which were displayed 1,•500 lets of
various value from " half a dozen di vils' tunics to the su-
perb fittings of her Majesty's boz." There were about 200
perir.ns present when the auctioneer ascended his rostrum
on the stage, and announced the conditions of the sale—
the whole property to be put up at 12,0001, and bidding,
not to be less than 601.

In introducing the property, Mr. Scott said the library'
of music was, he believed by general acknowledgment, the
finest collection extant. It consisted of 130 modern operas,
150 old operas, and the music for 100 ballets. The ward-
robe consisted of nearly 8,000 dresses. It had been
errangod to offer the property in one lot, in the hope that
some gentleman would come forward and purchase it, and
thus the theatre might be kept open daring the present
season. If it were not sold in one lot it would be offered
piecemeal on Thursday next and following days, and then
it would be impossible to open the theatre this year. He
hoped some gentleman present would allow him to add 501.
to the upset price.
A long pause having ensued, without any offer being
made,
Mr. Maddox, late of the Princeses Theatre, complained
that the parties present really could not know what they
were going to buy. They had only been admitted to the
theatre an hour previously, and there had been no time to
examine the property. 1 here was not even a catalogue of
the music, which he considered was the most valuable
portion of the property.
Mr. Scott said he had the catalogue, which was open to
the inspection of aay one who desired to see it.
Mr. Strutt inquired if the copyright of the music was in-
cluded its the sale. _ _

Mr. Scott replied certainly not. The music was chit fly
in manuscript scores.
The lot was now formally offered three several times and
no increased bidding being made, the auctioneer announced
that the property would be offered once again on Thurs-
day next, at the same upset price, and if not then pur.
chased, it would be sold in lots as described in the cata-
logue.
Mr. Maddox said the price was too high. He would not
object to give 7,0001. for it.
Mr. Scott said no reduction would be made on tho upset
price.
As the crowd retired from the theatre some wag seated
himself at the organ, and pealed forth the solemn tones of
a (sacral dirge.

PRUSSIA.

The Second Chamber was engaged on the 11th in
the discussion of a bill for removing political charges
from the cognisance of a jury. No decision was
arrived at.

Our correspondent writes:
BERLIN, MARCR 10.
The Second Chamber has been for some days put
fully occupied with the discusainn of a law for the
equalisation of the land tax. The committee ap-
pointed to examine the bill held numerous Img sit-
tings, and presented a very elaborate report. The
measure was momentous, excited a high interest
among all classes and parties, and called forth
unusual efforts of parliamentary debate. I have
hitherto refrained, however, from troubling the
readers of the Express with an account of these
proceedings, because I knew that the proposal
would be rejected with the government's consent.
Although the government voted, for form's sake,
for the measure, the main clause was yesterday
lost by a majority of 180 to 130 ; whereupon the
ministry this morning formally withdrew the bill.

SHERIFFS' COURTS, SCOTLAND.
Mr. HUME said that in December last, three months
ago, he had moved for some returns relative to the Sheriffs'
Courts in Scotland, which had not been furnished. As the
Lord Advocate was not in his place, perhaps some member
of the government would give him an answer.
Lord PALMERSTON spoke a few words to the hon.
member in reply, which were quite inaudible.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
Sir R. INGLIS, referring to two notices which stood on
the paper for that evening, begged to ask the noble lord, the
member for London, whether ho intended to go into com-
mittee both on the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill and the
Jewish Disabilities Bill ; and if he persuaded the house to
go into committee on either of them, whether he would
yield to the growing feeling in the country, and postpone
the third reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bill until after
Easter.

Lord 7. RUSSELL said that he proposed to postpone
the committee on the Canada Clergy Raserves Bill until
Friday ; and on that evening he intended to Dropofie to
leave out the third clause relating to the consolidated fund,
and he would then state his reasons for doing so. With
regard to the Jewish Disabilities Bill, he proposed to go
into committee that evening, and certainly he should not
postpone the further progress of the bill until after Easter
seeing the ample discussion it had already received.
COSTS OF REPORTS IN PARLIAMENT.
Sir R. INGLIS moved for a return of the costs of print-
ing reports of commissioners, and of papers presented by
command, delivered to the two Houses of Parliament in

ber of copies of each report or paper printed ; the number
delivered to the two Houses of Parliament; the number

ditional copies) ; and the number remaining in store (in

COPPER COINAGE.'

Mr. GLYN begged to ask the Secretary of the Treasury
whether any steps have been taken to secure a sufficient
supply of the copper coinage.

Mr. WILSON was aware that great inconvenience had
been caused by the deficiency of coin issued from the Mint
in the last few months. With regard to the issue :of gold
and silver he had spoken last week : the pressure in that
respect had been so great, that it was impossible to issue
any copper coin. The Muter of the Mint, however, had
arranged that tenders should be sent in by private indivi-
duals for the coining of five tops of copper coin. Some ten-
ders had bceu received, but he should be ((lad to have it
known th.a. the MO wan still ready to ream any tenders

THE IRISH LEVEES.

Mr. F. FREN6iibeggeriioasii the of the
Treasury if directions have been sent to Ireland by any
government authority of this country, to discontinue the
expense of inserting in the Dublin newspapers the usual
notices of levees about to be held by the Lord Lieutenant.
He asked this question, because all parties in Ireland had
taken it as an intimation of the government that they were
about to abolish the office of Lord Lieutenant.

Mr. J. WILSON said that the order was issued by the
late government. The last bill which had been received by
the Treasury from Dublin for advertisements contained
three specific items--one fur advertisements relating to
acts of parliament, the second for advertisements relating
to matters of public interest, and the third for advertisements
relating to levees and balls at the Castle. The amount was
3301. Of this 71. 3s. 4d. was charged for advertisements re-
lating to acts of parliament, 41. be. 10d. for advertisements
for public purposes, and the balance, 3181. lls. 10d., was
' for advertisements of balls and levees. Upon inquiry it
was found that the advertisements for one levee were in num-
ber 17,and the amount charged 331.145.; and a ball which took
place soon after was advertised 61 times, at a charge of 491.
Upon this the late government very properly thought
that the practice in Dublin should be assimilated to that
in London, and that the advertisements should be confined
to the Gwette. (hear, hear.)

JUDICIAL EXCLUSION BILL.
Lord DOTHAN postponed the next reading of the bill

RECEIPT STAMPS.
Mr. BROWN moved for a return of the number of
stamps for receipts, at each rate, issued to the public by the
office of Inland Revenue, and its distribution throughout
the United Kingdom (in continuation of a return made on
the sth of April, 1850) up to the present period, or to the
latest period to which the accounts have been made up ;
showing the gross amount of revenue derived front such
stamps, the expense of distributing the same, and the
amount allowed thereon ea discount to purchasers.

INCORPORATED TOWNS.
Sir G. PECRELL moved for an address for return of all
the towns or boroughs which have petitioned to be incor-
porated according to the provisions of the act 5 & 8 Will.
IV., c. 76; stating the date of the petition, whether such
petition was opposed or not, the result, and whether, in
cue of the charter being granted, the district oompristd in
such charter was either larger or smaller than the precinct
of the petitioning town or borough (in continuation of Par-

REPORT OF THE NAVAL COMMITTEE.
Captain SCOBELL begged to uk Sir James Graham
when it was probable that the report of the naval committee,
appointed by the late Board of Admiralty, would be laid on
the table of the house.
Bir J. GRAHAM Paid that the report of the officers to
whom the question of suggesting an improved mode of man-
ning the navy had been entrusted by the late government,
rested on very voluminous evidence, and which he and his
colleagues had had no opportunity of reading. It would
be ready in a few days, end he hoped to lay it on the table
after Easter.
