CHARTIST CONVENTION.

(THIS DAY.)

The Convention met this morning at the usual
hour. and the hall was fully attended by a crowded meeting.
Mr. M'Grath again occupy ing the chair.
Mr. CLauKE drew the attention of the delegates to the
conversation which took place last night in the
House of Lords, between the Duke of Beaufort and the
Marquis of Lansdowne, on the supposed union between cer-
tain foreigners, at present resident in London, with the
natienel convention. It seemed that a bill had been pre-
pared to expel all foreigners from the country,
and he suggested that a foreigner named Prince Albert,
who not long ago had refused to pay his poor-rates, should
be the first to he so expelled. (He .r, hear.)
Mr. Fetter.l.l. moved, and Mr. Aunats seconded, the resolu-
tion that the convention respectfully decline the generous
offer made by Mr. F. O'Connor to devote the profits of the
Northern Star newspaper to support the delegates during
the sitting of the convention. The resolution was agreed to.
EXCLUSIVE DEALING.
Me. JONES (Liverpool), reported that the deputation
which bad attended the meeting at Lambeth last night, had
proposed and carried ananimouely a resolution, to the eff. ct
that no Chartist should steal with those members of the
shopocracy who had enrolled themselves as special con-
stables. (Cheers.)
Mr. M'Ciaa • m deprecated any attempt to pass such a re-
solution in the Convention.
Mr. Corrav thought the convention ought not to be
squemish in the matter. As he had been out of work for some
time, he had allowed Mrs. Cuffay to go cut washing. ; (Loud
laughter.) At one of the places she hail been in the
habit of charring at, she was asked if she was the wife of
C Wray of the Convention; and when she said yes, she had been
told her services would not he any more required. (Shame.)
On the motion of Mr. Lyon a committee of even was ap-
pointed to take into consideration the pay ment of the (Ali:uses
of the several delegates.
Mr. F. O'Commin here entered the hall, and was enthu•
aiastically greeted. The bon. gentleman adthessed the con-
vention in his usual strain, and expressed his determination
to oppose to the death the treason hi.l of Sir George Grey,
and declared, if the bill became a law, he would at once de-
clare himself a republican. (Cheers.)
After some routine business, the ouestion of the division
of the country into electoral districts tor the election of dele-
gates to be returned fur tie intended national assembly,
heat came under discussion, and the dehate upon it was
interrupt( II by the usual adjournment for dinner, at I o'clock.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THIB DAT.

•-- ---
CROWN AND GOVERNMENT SECURITY BILL.
Ou the motiou that the house go into committee on this

Mr. G. THOMPSON rose to oppose the measure. He
considered that the government were legislating under •
panic at the events which had recently taken place on the
Continent, and had come to the conclusion that her majesty's
throne wits endangered. If her majesty had been so instructed,
if the royal ear had been so abused, she ought to know
that there nab no portion of British territory where she
could put her foot where she would not find a welcome from
all classes. There was no ground kir applying such a
measure to Boglanil, S °ottani', or Wales; sod, notwithstand-
ing the ankh e in the Nation and United Irishman, it did
I not follow that the whole people of fratnd were thsAlf.cted.

NEWMARKET RACES.

THIS DAY.

CHARTIST MEETINGS took place on Monday at
Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds, and Huddersfield. The speeches
were of the usual character, and no breach of the peace
occurred.

COMMERCIAL & MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—The foods are still on the rise, and
we have had Consols at 83 to 1. At present they are
only a shade below those rates, at 821 to 3.
The balancing of accounts for to-morrow creates
much activity in the market, and although
we do not hear of any large purchases for investment
on the part of bankers and capitalists, who may
be large receivers of dividends on their own account,
or in trust for clients, yet there can be no doubt that
numerous small parcels of money-stock are taken
off by the lesser stock-holders, who fully appre-
ciate the superior advantage of purchasing Console, or
other public securities, yielding more than 31 per
cent at present prices, our deposits in savings banks
returning less than 3 per cent. Reduced Threes are
8I: to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 821
Exchequer Bills, 38s. to 41s. premium. Bank Stock,
185 to 7.
The intelligence of the quiet issue of Monday's
meeting in this capital had a favourable effect on the
Paris Bourse, where the Three per Cent. Itentes
rose to 441, although subsequently they fell
back to 411. Even the latter quotation shows a
material improvement upon the rates previously
ruling, and is at least 10 per cent. above the lowest
point to which they had fallen at one time. It must
be remembered, however, that the rentes, as now
quoted, represent the prices in paper money only,
which could only be converted into specie at a consi-
derable discount.
We have little variation in foreign stocks, which
meet with the less attention now that the jobbers and
brokers are so much engaged in preparing for to-
morrow's %Alit ment in Consols. We quote—Brazilian,
53 to 8. .Mcxican, 141 to 1. Peruvian, 24 to 6.
Spanish Fives, 10 to 11 ; the Threes, 171 to 181;
Passive, 21 to Portuguese, 13 to 15. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 34 to 0; the Fours, 53 to 6.
Russian, 73 to 8. Venezuela, 18 to 23.

CORN. --MARK-LAP..-AdViCeti received from the
country markets this morning, report an improved feeling in
the Corn trade generally, and prices of all articles fully main-
tained, and in some instances rather exceeded. The English
Wheat which remained over unsold from Monday last, was
readily taken off to-day, at rates fully eqaal to those of last
week. Foreign Wheat maintained its value. Oats were
sold in quite as good terms. Barley, Beans, and Peas with-
out alteration.

COLCHESTER, April 11.-Both Wheat and Barley sell at
last week's rates; hut little business is passing, and that to
only necessitous buyers. The supplies are small. But few
Beans appear, and there sell at late rates.
Hutt., April 11.-The weather during the past week has
been cool and dry. The farmers are very busy with spring
sowing, and the supplies of Wheat at our neighbouring mar-
kets i uring the week were moat insignificant. There has
been a firmer feeling in the trade, and, but for the disturbed
political state of many important districts, we should have
made more money for fine fresh Wheats, but all millers are
working on as small stocks as possible. The show of farmers'
Wheat to-day was again small, and, owing to the quiet
reports (political) from London, more dills:alum was shown
to purchase, and the market must be written firm, at last
week's prices. Foreign is unaltered In value. There is
again a good supply of Barley from abroad, but a good deal
of it for forwarding into the interior. Danish sells at 275. to
295., as in quality and weight. Seal, 30s. to 31s. Gate are
again dull, and lower. Beans are offering very low, and, as
well as Peas, are almost unaalcsble. Tares are still very fiat,
either for sowing or feed. There is a freer sale for Clover.
seed, but not at any improvement in price. Linseed con-
tinues dull ; no export sale for Oil ; and a slackened demand
ler Cakes. A good many foreign are on the market, and
offering at attractive prices. Rapeseed arrives more freely,
and is held at our quotations. Rape Cakes dull, at our quo-
tations. Guano meets a good demand, especially for the better
descriptions. A fair sale for Bones, but at reduced prices.
