DISCOVERY OF ROMAN REMAINS AT COLCURSTI

—On Monday se'nn;gist, Mr. J. Taylor, jun., of West Lodge,
near Colchester, made further researches on the site of
the Roman burial-ground which adjoins the Leaden-
road, and laid open several sepulchral deposits of urns
arranged in groups, with panne. lamps, personal orna-
ments, and other object*. The number of funereal vie-
eels fund is about 2&0, exclusive of a great variety of
other remains; and it is calculated that in Mr. Taylor's
grounds, covering about 12 acres, there are at least 11
times as many urns still unexhumed. In the evening a
meeting was held at the rooms of the Literary Institution,
the Rev. S. Can in the chair, at which the leading people
of the place, including the mayor, Sir Henry Smyth, and
many of the clergy, together with several of the members of
the Arcbteologied Association, assists d. Mr. Taylor baying
stated his intention to present the entire collection as a nucleus
for a local museum, and explains) how the remains ban
been first discovered, Mr. H. Smith, Mr. W. Newton, Mr.
A. White, and Mr. Price, severally addressed the meeting,
describing the various antiquities which had been brought
before them. All united in saying that a more impo-
tent collection had never been brought together in,
so short a space of time. The forms of the find* and
glass vessels an extremely elegant, the lamps are or
namented with various designs, among which may be
noticed a centaur carrying an amphora, a caduceus between
two cornucopias, a fuller at work, gladiators fighting. Some
mirrors made of speculum metal were not the least curious
of the objects exhibited ; they relined their powers of re-
flection unimpaired by the damp and darkness of 1,600 years.
The ceins are of early date, nose of those exhibited being
later than the time of Adrian. The meeting passed a vote of
thanks to Mr. Taylor for his liberality, and to Mr. Re Smith
and the members of the Arclueological Association for at-
tending on this occani os. It is to he hoped the people of
Colchester will join cordially in preserving their antiquities,
and contribute funds in aid of the 1A11t,1117211.

at least little better a person or olvdimation than a

Probably a mingle Miusohecer power-loam would glut

As for tee empire of Japan, it has proscribed fo-
reign trade foe now two centuries and a half. The
anytime are a single Dutch ship, restricted as to
goods and tonnage, and a few Chinese junks, re-
stricted in the nose manner, the crews, both Dutch
and Chinese, being,. duricg their stay in Japan,
placed under a rigorous eurrefflonce amountiop
to incarceration. The English, the Russians, ant
the Americans, have tried to open a trade
with Japan to no purpose, and the Dutck
have tried to extend theirs with ea little
effect. Is it likely, then, that the imperial laws of
Japan u they have existed intsct for nine ages, are
to be soddenly changed because Mr. MorraosrasT
Mamie pronounces some magic words in Lancashire
and Yorkshire ?

There is but one way of opening the trade
of Japan, and that is the conquest of the Japer
nese empire—rather a serious undertaking, con-
sidering that Japan is fifteen thousand miles din
tent, and that it has a warlike and hardy population;
and remembering that the easier conquest of liindo•
shin has taken us a whole century to effect. Setting
kudos and international law aside, inch a project is
not one that is likely to find acceptance with tbs
reform association of Liverpool.
Mr. Mairrtn, in his circular, says that his present
agitation is carried on under the auspices of the
Board of Trade, which, if true, would be curious, for
Mr. LABOUCHERE, who has not the reputation of •
rash or indiscreet man, has surely already irons
enough in the fire without going to Japan, foe one
more =manageable than all the rest.

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY Evinetwo.
The letters from Hamburg received in the City to-
day bring oar intelligence down to the 20th regard-
ing that market.
A few vessels continue to elude the cruisers and
venture in, but the must activity of the season is not
apparent, and cannot be under present circum,tances.
Holders of goods endeavour to benefit by the sus-
pension of the usual supplies, but this is
counteracted by the perfect stagnation of
trade, with the Danish and Swedish ports,
and with diminished orders from the interior. Sugars
were in most demand. Coffees were scarce and
wanted. Cotton was held firmly, the stocks being
small. Rice of good qualities found buyers, and most
dyes and drugs had advanced in price. Money was
abundant, and stocks and shares quoted high. Bills
on all places wane. On England direct the rates of
exchange were 11 to 14 better. On Paris and Hol-
land the former rates were maintained, with less
demand. Gold, 4381.
The advice. from the Havanna are to the 21st
ult., and confirm the previous accounts regarding the
diminished crops of sugar, indeed the estimates of the
deficiency seem to be greater, some parties estimating
the falling off at as much as 50 per cent. Prices had
advanced considerably, and there was a great scarcity
of tonnage for the sugars ready for shipment,
which had been more abundant front the weather fa-
_ .

cilitatmg the movements of coasters. The deficiency
in the sugar crops of Louisiana being also very great,
the demand upon the sugars of Cuba will of course be
augmented, and henoe the rise in prices is easily ac-
counted for. Prices of sugars in the Havanna at pre-
sent are about 31. per ton hiolier than if brought to
this market they would realise here.
Exchange on England was 10 to 101 per cent.
prem. ; on New York and Boston par to f per cent.
discount.

lati n, when an officer who had attained the rank of colonel
was honoured with the Order of the Bath, and sold out, he
was permitted to retain his name is the army list, and to
wear his unitorns at court; but when officers below that
rank sold out, they were cansidered as having left the a r.
vies alto.cether, and were not permitted to wear their tali-
form. lie was not aware of any intention to alter that regu-
lation.

signed by the Ender SerrAary of 6:-.te in Ireland, which

that mercy would be extended to them upon condition of

EXPLANATION. -MR. BROTHERTON AND
MR. BANKES._ _ _

Mr. BROTHERTON said that, seeing the hon. memhcr
for Dorsetehire in his place—(roate of laughter)—he wished
for an expEnation of the language he had applied to him on
the previous evening. Some men had rest ceurege towards
those who were not in a 'smitten to resent their affront,
end very little towards these who were in that vsi-
tion. (Cries of "Order.") He did hope the house would
throw Its protection over him—(much langhter)—and n t
permit imputations to be cast upon him which he utterly
disavowed. Ho could conscientiously say that during the
time he had been accustomed to move the adjournment of
the house, it had always been his desire to act impartially
towards both idles of the house. (Hear, hear.) And yet
the boo. gentleman had described hint as the subservient
tool of the government. He hoped the hon. gentleman was
prepared to retract that expression.
- -

- -
Mr. B. OSBORNE asked whether the present would not
be a good opportunity of testing the who of the proposition
submitted to the house the utfier evening, by referring the
case to arh:tration ? (Roars of laughter.)
Mr. BfeNKES quite atreed with the hon. member fur
Middlesex that that would be the best way. He assurA the
hon. member (Mr. Brotherton) that at the time he made the
observation of which he complained he was net aware that
he did not fight ; and sines he had heard it he had a greater
respect for him than before. (Hear, hear.) But as the hon.
gentleman did not persevere in the adjournment, his (Mr.
B.tnkes' I observation fell to the ground. He said that it the
hon. gentleman did persevere he stiluld 10. k npoc. him as
the tool of the government.. The hon. genelemeu did not
persevere, and therefore the observation did not apply
to him. _ _

DELAYED RIiTURNS.II
Mr. DISRAELI complained that the returns nom the
Bard of icede which had been laid on the tedo nine nights
ago were not yet in the hands of members, although it was
of the utmost importance they should be before the budget
was brought forward, and but for an accidental circumstance
it would hire been brought fcr ward that night. They had
had no official returns of the commerce of the country since
the 10th April; he hal a-certained on inquiry that it was no
fault of the printer, and as the President of the Board of
Trade had informed Liz th-t he was not responsible fur them
after they were hid on the table, ho begged to give notice
teat unless he had them by Monday Le w..uld move that
the printer and the official in the Board of Trade whose duty
it was to prepare those returns be summoned to the bar to
give information as to the cause of delay.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

Advice, ha'e been received Woin---Sidnay to 13th
March, which, however, do cot contain anything et
interest in a commercial point of view. The meeting
of the inhabitants to take into consideration Lord
Grey's plan to send tut convicts to the colony, and to
which we advtrted in our paper of ycaterday, had
taken place. It terminated in framing a petition to
her Majesty against the meaeure. Some id a
of the feelings of the colinists against the
cont,mplated plan may be gath 'red from the strong
terms in which some of the reitolutions were framed,
and which were passed " unanimously and with ac-
clamation" at the meeting. The Brat of them, after
reciting the facts upon which its contents are lved,
declares, "that as the Colonial-office has so un
scrupulously broken faith with the colonials, not
only in this matter, but also in reference
!o the compact made with Sir Richard Bourke,
as to the p dice and gaol expenses arid the
territorial revenue, this colony peremptorily refuses to
receive the offenders of the mother country, whether
under the name of convicts, exiles, or any other de-
signation, upan any terms whatever." But the lan-
guage of another resold:on of the series would
canvert their opposition into an overt act and throw
the onus of it upon the governor. E runs thus:" That
his excellency the governor be requested, in the
(vent of a ship arrivi•ig in tie harbour with convicts,
to et nd them back to Reg'and."
The Sydney lifneriitio Flernld states, that "the
petition to her M.ijecity. though less vehrtient than
the resolution:4 is yet equally clear and firm."
