Batorrrog, Nov. 18.—There was a moderate warily of

3,630 qrs., and 1,593 coastwise; 770 brls. 430 sacks ot Flour,
and 874 qrs. Irish Oats, the trade has bees very dull this
week. Last week's prices are asked for everythir3, and
most of the importers, as well as the farmers, are fi:m, but
some quote English Wheat 2a., and foreign Is. per qr. lower
than last week. Flour also is of more difficult sale. There
are many reports of Potatoes rotting in the pits, and the
price advanced to 12s. to 15e. per sock.

Devizes, Nov. 18.—The supply of Wheat, of whi, h there
was still some of last year's growth, wsa about an overage
one. The demand was pretty good, but, being mach out of
condition, a decline of from Is. to 2s. per quarter—princi-
pally on the inferior qualities—was obliged to be submitted
to. At this reduction a good clearance was made. Barley
was in good supply, and the trade wu rather hen' y, at a
decline of from Is. to 2s. per quarter; the reduction here, as
in Wheat, being chiefly on the inferior suns: towards the
close of the market, however, business was rather brisker.
The supply of Oats was short, and the sale dull, ~t rather
lower prices. F3,•ane and Per were in good supply, but little
business was done, and there is no alteration in prices to vote.

LOUTH, Nov. 17.—The business done in corn t^ day was
not esiensive, in consequence of the farmers generally not',
being willing to give way 35. per qr. for Wheat, th. sales of

Wheat, 475. to 535.; Barley, 20s. to 31s. ; Oats, 20 to 235.;
Beans, 495. to 525. per qr.

especially of Oats, principally arising from the :,op trade
being slow, and most of our growers realising m TO upon
them than their corn. Wheat was 3s. to 4s. cheaper to-day,
and all lent corn la to 2s. lower.

Mw.ntaxn•rats, Nov. 18.—Our market to-day is vcry dull,
ter both Wheat and Barley ; to do any business lover prices
must be taken. Fine malting Barley, 30s. to 31s. Wheat,

MARKET RA6EN, NOT. 16.—There wu not us•teh busi.
new done at this market, farmers not being walla.; to sub-
mit to lower terms, and buyers not free to purchase cm others,
yet the market was pretty well attended. Wheat may be
quoted 2s. to 3s. lower, say 44.. to 535. Barley dee' med Is.

dull for every article in the trade, at the currency of last
week.

few sold were at a fall of 2s. Gd. to 5.. per cwt. below what
was demanded yesterday. Some good Sussex and Kents
were bought by samples, on credit ; but all ready money
sellers stood without an offer. There has nut been so slack
• sale of Hops here for some years past.
WORCESTER, Nov. 17.—We have no alteration in the
state of our Hop market, which continues heavy for Hops of
all ages, at very unrernunerstive prices for the grower; and
we must again and again urge upon their notice the neces-
sity for reducing the plantations ; for, crop er no crop, next
year, from present appearances, they must lose money by
their plantation*, whilst a crop of wheat would be equally
certain to pay. At least, they might grub half their old
grounds, and plant a portion of now, to come into bearing
the following year. The following were the number of
pockets weighed during the week New, 8; old, 69. Sa-

We have a good supply of Beasts, but, the weather being
favourable fur slaughtering, the demand is large. The best
qualities are readily disposed of at advanced prices, and se-
cond-rate are cleared off at fully Mor.day's quotations. The
number of Sheep is small, with a good attendance of buyers,
consequently late prices are well supported for 4. verything,
and a few of the choicest description make rather more
money. Goal Calves are still scarce, and make rather
higher prices, do. 2d. being readily obtained (or choice ones.
Trade is brisk for Pigs. Our foreign supply consists of 401
Beasts, 1,060 Sheep, and 63 Calves. We have 90 Beasts
from Scotland, and about 140 Mach Cows from the neigh..
bourhood of London.

ANDOVER, Nov. 18.—The greater part of the Sheep a
yesterday, and all the best store Beasts. There was also
fair clearance of both fat and lean Pigs. About one-thir
of the horses changed hands, those not so,d being offers
, this morning, yet bat few found purchasers, nearly all th
warranted ones being sold yesterday.
DONCASTBR NOVEMBER FAlR.—There was a large show
of Horses for this period, of the year, but there was hardly
a goo) animal amongstnheii, indeed many of them were
muelf more fit for the tinnols than a fair. The show of
Beasts was also larger than usual at this fair, but prints fat
animals were scarce ; they realised from 71. to 7s. 6d. per
stone ; there was a good demand for anything in fresh con-
dition. There was a small show of Bheep,and sot much
business doing.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 16.—The Cattle was nearly all disposed
of at prices ranging from id. per lb. higher on the best de-
scriptions, to the full prices of last week on the middling
and low qualities. The number of Sheep again on the
decrease, hence an improvement in price, they being readily
bought up at an advance of id. per lb. on all descriptions,
at the close of the market none remaining unsold. Veal
Calves are a mall supply, and id. per lb. higher.
NEWCASTLE, Nov. 16.—We have at length to report
decided improvement in the quality of dock, and also a goo
seasoLable supply in respect of numbers, including 16 bu
locks from Hamburg, which are the best, in point of quality,
that have arrived since the tariff came into operation. The
demand for the beet qualities is tolerably active, yet prices
have receded a little; but the middling qualities are an ex-
ceedingly low sale. Prices are looking down, and a consi-
derable quantity remains unsold. All kinds of Sheep have
undergone a change to-day, the better qualities 4d. per lb.;
the middling kinds are also lower in price, end a great quan-
tity left unsold. Pigs are in good request, and nearly all
sold up. Prices : Beasts, ss. 6d. to 7s. per stone of 141bs.
Sheep, 4d. to bid. per lb., sinking the offal.
PrOTIIERRAM, NOV. 15.—We had a middling supply of
stock, considering the time of the year ,• the attendance of
buyers pretty numerous, yet trade ruled only dull. Prices
same as this day fortnight. Beef, per stone, 7s. to 7s. 6d.
Mutton, per lb., 6d. to 7d.
Salsoan, Nov.l7.—We had today a poor show of Cattle,
both in number and quality ; and as the demand for prime
meat is very good, superior lamb brought fully 10s. a head
more money. Mutton the turn dearer.
WAKEFIELD, Nov. 17.—We bad a fair supply of stock at
market this morning, of both descriptions, with a good at-
tendance of buyers, and prices much the same as last market.
We had a fair show of lean Cattle and Calvert.

iDINBLEOR, Nov. 17.—They supply of Sheep this morn-
ing was lees than last week. There were several lots of ex-

1.. per head from previous week's rates. The demand in
general was also better. Top of beat Mutton, 6id, ; current,
Sid. to 6d, ; inferior, 4id. to ed. per lb. ; and a few lots left
unsold. Of the fat cattle exhibited a great portion
were in good condition. At the commencement of the mar-
ket sales were rather brisk, especially for those of the beet
I quality, and a. few lots fetched as high u 9s. 6d. per Dutch

condary and inferior quality, 7s. 6d. to 6s. 6d. At the close
of the market Wu became rather dull, and several lota of
different desetlptions were turned out unsold.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their lerdahips assembled yesterday, pursuant to the sum-
mons for calling a new parliament.
The LORD CHANCELLOR addressed their lordships in
these terms :—My Lords,—Her Majesty,'. not thinking
Se present hers this day in her royal person, has bees
to call a commission to be issued wWer the great
seal for the
opening and holding this parliament.
The Lords Commissioners—tamely. the Lord Chancellor.
the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
and the Earls of Auckland and Spencer, having taken their
seats, and the Commons, headed by Mr. Ley, the chief
clerk, appeared at, the bar, escorted. by the usher of the
black rod, Sir Augustus Clifford,
The Lord Chancellor said :—My Lords and Gentlemen of
the Home of Commons,—We have it in command from her
Majesty to let you know that you shall hereafter be informed
of the cause of calling this parliament together ; but it being
necessary that a Speaker for the House of Commons should
first be chosen, you will, for that purpose, return to the
place prepared for your meeting, end there be pleased to
choose a Speaker, and present such person whom you shall
so choose here to-morrow, fer her Majesty's royal appro-
bation.
The Commons then withdrew.
Prayers having been read, the Lord Chancellor singly
first took the oaths at the table.
The certificate of the sixteen peers for Scotland was read,
and several peers then took the oaths, among whom woe Sir
Richard Bulkeley Philipps, Bart., created Lord Milford.
Their lordships having sat till 5 o'clock for the purpose of ,
swearing in the peers, then adjoarned to 3 o'clock this day.
During the recess, two of the cartoons destined for the
decoration of the house have been fined in their places—Mr.
Maclise's Chivalry," and Mr. Cope's " Knighting of the
Block Prince." A third cartoon is fined, but not yet
uncovered.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TRURSDAY, Nov. 18.
The house began to till as early as half-past one, and by
two o'clock there were at least 3-50 members cengreirated.
The floor was the principal focus of assemblage, although
here and there knots of old members clubbed together In
close communion. Many of the newly-elected were present :
amongst them were distinguishable Messrs. Jackson,
G. Th.:moon, Wilson, M'Gre-or, Sir J. Walmaley,
CoL Thomson, F. O'Connor, Serj. TaUourd, Sidney,
W. J. Fox, &c. Amongst the forrner members pre-
sent there were Lords Palmerston and J. Russell, Sir
R. Inglis, Mr. Goulburu, Mr. Disraeli, Lord G. Ben-
Mock, Col. Peel, Messrs. Muntx, B. Cochrane, &c. The
object that seemed to attract most attention during the in-
terval that elapsed previous to the house being sum-
moned to the presence of her Majesty's commissioners
was the pasteboards on which the oaths of supremacy and
abjuration are printed, these being, in fact, the chief con-
tents of the two boxes on the table which have so often as
the attention of strangers. It seemed as if the spare
moments of some of the hon. members were sedulously occu-
pied in scrutinising the nature of the test that was about to
be administered to some of their heterodox emaciates.
At a quarter put two o'clock Sir Augustus Clifford made
his appearance at the bar, and in the customary manner
walked up to the table, where he announced that the Lords
Commissioners had commanded him to summon the mem-
bers to attend in the Chamber of Peers forthwith, for the
purpose of bearing the royal commission read. Mr. Ley
the clerk of the house, rose from his seat, and accompanied
by a number of the members proceeded to the House of
Lords. At half-past two the clerk of the house returned,
and having taken his seat at the table, the house proceeded
to the

ELECTION OF SPEAKER.
Lord SEYMOUR then rose and said,—Mr. Ley, having
heard her Majesty's commission commanding this house to
choose a Speaker read in another place, I take upon myself
to offer a motion to the house, which lem convinced wil
meet with cordial unanimity on the part of all who bear me.
Those hon. gentlemen present who have formerly been
members of this house have witnessed the dignity, the im
partiality, and the judgment with which Mr. Shaw Lefevre
has discharged the duties of Speaker, and they will all readily
agree with me in thinking that no other selection for that
office than the right hon. gentleman could be made, either,
I may say, with advantage to the house or to the public ser-
vice. (Hear, hear.) Those hon. members present who have
not had an opportunity of witnessing the admirable manner in
which Mr. Shaw Lettere has heretofore fulfilled his arduous
functions will, I think, best discharge theirdutyte themselves
and to the public by unanimously consenting to place in the
chair that right hon. gentleman, who in times of unexampled
difficulty has maintained, unimpaired, the dignity and
authority of the chair, and thereby has upheld in public
estimation the character and weight of this great delibera-
tive assembly. (Hear, hear.) It is moreover my belief and
conviction that all those honourable members to whom I
refer will derive the greatest advantage from being able
to have recourse to the experience end knowledge which are
possessed by Mr. Shaw Lefevre on those matters connected
with their duties re/meeting which they cannot as yet be
intimately. acquainted. For these reasons, and actuated by
the motives I have described, I beg to conclude by moving
that the Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevre do take the
ch".l. (Cheers on all 'ides
I. A. rid , Mr. Ley, to second the motion
of my noble friend the member for Totness, and I do so
with singular satisfaction, inasmuch as it bas seldom hap•
pened to me, or to any other man in my position, to be
able to reconcile in an remarkable a degree as in the pre-
sent instance, a public duty and a private and personal
feeling. (Hear, hear.) Remarkable as have proved to be,
the judgment and sagacity of the house, in selecting from
amongst its members the individuals most fitted to
do honour to the chair, I believe I may with
confidence and safety appeal alike to those who have for-
merly been members of this house, and to the public at
large, whether in former times there has ever eat in that
chair one who better discharged his duties both in respect to
themselves and to the public, than the right hon. gentleman
proposed by my noble friend has done. (Hear, hear.) I
do not intend to trouble the house at any length on the sub-
ject of the duties which the occupation of the chair requires.
'Fhis subject has °nen before been amply enlarged upon,
and it would be useless, not to say presumptuous, in me now
to enter upon it. I feel, also, that a due sense of the high
office which is vested in our speaker is so universally settled
throughout the community, that it does not moire one
word from me in vindication of that office. But with great
humility I beg leave to say one word upon another subject,
namely, that whilst we witness every day and every year
the character of this house rising and increasing in dignity,
importance, and in general estimation, and whilst we
have also witnessed most important changes made in the
constitutional forms and rights of one of the most ancient of
the European powers, we have also been called upon to
notice equally important changes proposed to be made by
another foreign power, familiar as well b name as by com-
mercial ties to most of us. We cannot, theaefese, bet mime
to the conclusion that both constitutionsl said xspeessali
tive governments are making great
Europe : looking therefore to the foeegt =
under these circumstances, that is dlimmier this
house and in that of the individual member who deilsocupy
that chair, are to a very considerable extent lambed the
peace and tranquillity of Europe. I give my mast to the
motion of my noble friend, because I feel that the duties of
that chair have never been more perfectly or better
fulfilled than by the right honourable gentleman. I feel
not only that his impartiality is unimpeachable, but
that no one ever attempted to question it. I feel also that
be will in future, as he heretofore always has done, support
the privileges of this house with dignity and honour, alike
devoid of fear or favour—and lastly, sir, I feel that under
Mr. Shaw Lefevre's superintendence and presidency will be
best proved the fact that order and obedience to the chair are
fhe mat essential requisites towards procuring that freedom
of speech which is the inalienable privilege of this house.
(Loud cheers.)
Lord G. BENTINCH said : I am unwilling to let this
opportunity pus without doing myself the honour of joining
in the expression of opinion which the house has heard from
the noble lord the member for Totems and the hon. member
for Chichester—(hear)---and I am the more anxious to do
so because when the right hon. gentleman now proposed as
speaker was lees known than he is at this moment, I joined
in opposing his election to the chair. But the conduct
of Mr. Shaw Lefevre in the chair of this home
has made his election not only a subject of sou-
gratulation to myself, but also to every gentleman do
was defeated on that occasion. (Hear.) I believe that the
authority and character of this branch of the legislatme &-
peed in a great measure upon the dignity with widsh
duties of the chair are performed; and I am sore doss Ms.
members who have witnessed the dignified dessmosr of
the right hon. gentleman will join with me in easesiing to
him the pre-eminence over all those illustrious end
distin-
guished individuals who have preceded him is the high
ogles of speaker. I therefore, entertaining time send-
runts, could not suffer this opportunity to pass without ex-
pressing them, and also expressing the entire satisfaction
with which I give my event to the motion before the house.
Sir R. INGLIS—Mr. Ley, the reasons advanced by the
noble lord in favour of the present motion are in them-
selves quite sufficient to carry with them the opi-
nion of the four hundred members who were present
oa the occasion to which he refers. For myself
I concur cordially in all that has been said by the noble lord
the member for 'rotates and the hon. member for Chichester
in their expressions respecting my right hon. friend (Mr.
Shaw Lefevre), and the universal approbation with whiak
be will enter upon his resumption of olio kr the third
time. Nor should I have troubled you on this oessoloa but
for an allusion of the noble lord who brought forward this
motion, and to whose observations I may make this remark,
that the right hon. gentleman possess an additional claim
to our gratitude for the performance of duties which are
quits apart from throe which he so well fulfils in this plasm,
bat which are entirely unseen. I allude, sir, to his attention
to the private business of this house. (Hear, hear.) It is I
net necessary for me to trouble the house by entering into
any detail respecting the facts. It is sufficient to say that
the private business of this house has so much increased that
Rhos, within the last decennial period, not only exceeded the
amount of the preceding 10, but also of the preceding 30 years,
" --- portion of time that this increaseof private
ee. Shaw Lefevre's advice has been
also invaluable. (Hear.) It
these facts to mind, indepen-
l's conduct in the chair, that I
address the hones, and I now
earnest and cordial assent to the

he erivreMs.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NOV. 19.
THE fifteenth session of the Imperial Parliament of
Great Britain and Ireland, and the third called by
her present Majesty, assembled yesterday for the des-
patch of business. The House of Lords met at two
o'clock, and the House of Commons at half-past one,
the new members forming a large majority of those
present in the tter house, Shortly after two o'clock
the Lords Commissioners took their seats, when
the gentleman usher of the black rod was
directed by the Lord Chancellor to summon
the Commons to hear the royal commission
read.—After a short interval, Mr. Ley, the chief
clerk of the lower house, accompanied by a large
body of members, appeared at the bar, when her
Majesty's commission having been read, the LORD
CHANCELLOR signified that the preliminary step
necessary to be taken on the occasion of the meeting
of a new parliament was, the election by the House
of Commons of a Speaker, which they were to pro-
ceed to do forthwitht and present him this day in
that house for her Majesty's approbation.—On the
return of the Commons to their own house, Mr.
Ley having communicated the intimation con-
veyed through the Lord Chancellor, Lord Ser-
mons. moved and Mr. J. A. SMITH seconded,
in speeches highly eulogistic of the manner in which
the right hon. gentleman, on two former occasions,
had filled the office of Speaker, that the Right Hon.
Charles Shaw Lefevre do again take the chair.—
Lord G. BENvntot and Sir It. bunts having borne
their testimony to the high qualifications of the right
hon. gentleman, both as regarded the conducting of
the public business in the house and the private busi-
ness, of which a large portion was necessarily done
out of it, the motion was carried unanimously, and
the right hen. gentleman, after delivering himself of
a speech expressive of his thanks and gratitude for
the confidence reposed in him, was conducted to the
chair by his mover and seconder, amidst unanimous
cheers.—Lord J. RUSSELL songratalated not only the
right hon. gentleman on his re-appointment, bat the
house itself on having so able a gentleman, as past
experience proved, to preside over their deliberations,
and concluded by moving the adjournment.

THE regulation of the medium of exchange must
be the foremost topic and most important sub-
ject of the new Parliament's deliberation. It would be
difficult to suggest any
.single theme or any single
difficulty in which there is more need of a calm tem-
per and an unbiassed spirit, or upon which there is so
fair a chance for the minister of the day to establish
an enduring fame for large, accurate, and matured
knowledge of the real condition of the people he has
been called upon to govern.
Without pretending to foreknow what may be the
line of policy in the contemplation of the government,
it will not be useless to recount the alternatives which
present themselves to its choice.
In the first place, we conceive it to be perfectly
clear that the zealous and active party who are so in-
defatigable in their opposition to the settlement of
1819 have not the remotest chance of beholding the
advent of the change they so ardently desire. Of the
motives and character of these gentlemen one casinot
speak with too much respect. As regards the logical
accuracy of their views, and the coherent nature of
their arguments, we entertain a strong and not a
favourable opinion. And, despite of the agitation and
the perseverance, of which Birmingham is the centre,
we apprehend that the stream of proselytism in the
direction of that loudly-proclaimed city of refuge from
all the evils which afflict the land, IS din so meagre
and so intermittent se to leave a very wide space for
the exercise of faith and patience.
In the next place, there is the notion of a govern-
ment bank and a government paper which shall
supersede at once both the exclusive privileges of
the Bank of England and the liberty of issue pos-
sessed by the provincial bankers. This is a scheme
which has been floating about in several elevated
circles for some time, and the country must be pre-
pared to see it brought forward with considerable
advantages of authority and partisanship. The idea
is certainly plausible, but the objections are too strong
and too numerous to need enumeration.
Next in order, is the doctrine of what is
called "free-trade in banking." The drift of this
idea is the precise contrary of the plan we have
last referred to. The free-trade innovators would
equally sweep away the monopoly of the Bank, but
so far from undertaking such a clearance of the field
with a view to erect a government establishment on
the vacant site, they propose to fill up:the void by ren-
dering the circulation of the metropolis as diversified in
lorigm and character as the circulation of Yorkshire.
It is their leading doctrine that the present system is
pernicious, because every London banker his not the
same liberty of issue and the mime privileges as the
Bank of England. It is very likely that this party
may ;sent a somewhat formidable front in the ap-
proac • conflict, and at the proper time, and in a
fitting spirit, we shall not fail to examine the tenor
of their allegations and the strength of their logic.

and for the greater portion of time that this increassof private
business has taken place, Mr. Shaw Leferre's advice has been
not only molt unremitting but also invaluable. (Hear.) It
is for the purpose of recalling these facts to mind, indepen-
dently of my right hon. friend's conduct in the chair, that I
have thought it proper to address the hones, and I now
have only to (sprees my earnest and cordial assent to the
motion.
Mr. S. LEFEVRE rose and said—l can nature the noble
lord the member for Totnees,and my hon. friend the member
for Chichester, that I fully appreciate the feelings of per-
; soma! regard and kindness which have prompted them to
=l,.n such terms of commendation of my conduct in the
mmendation far beyond my merits. I feel also
that I ewe to the home a large debt of gratitude for the
gtvenrible manner in which it has always viewed my am-
. •
