REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE

DURING THE PAST WEEK.

(from the Marls 1.1111. Express.)
There is very little alteration in the tone of the
advice' from the Baltic parts. No increase had, it appears,
taken place in the supplies from the growers, and the stocks
in granary bialys been reduced by the spring shipments,
holders had shown more disposition to raise than to lower
their pretensions, notwithstanding the dull reports from
hence.

Letters from Dins g of the 6th instant inform no that the
Vistula bad at length become nearly clear from foe, but that
no supplies had yet coma down ; some quantity being, how-
ever, expected almost immediately, buyers had declined to
act ; and with hardly anything doled for export, prices had
remained quite stationary. New high mimed wheat of 61
lbs. weight, was quoted 365. 6d. to 375. ; mixed, 60 to 61 lbs.
345. to 355.; and common runs, 335. per quarter free on

At Konigsberg a fair extent of busmen bad, we are in.
formed, been done in wheat during the week ending the Bth
'inst., some purchases havirg been made for Scotch and
Dutch account; holders had, consequently, succeeded in
realising fully previous terms, say 365. to 375. for high
mixed, 611 b. to 611tb. per bushel ; 33..3d. for mixed, weigh.
ing 611 b. ; and 31e. per quarter free on board for red of the
IMO weight. The transactions in spring corn had been un-
important; large barley, 621 b., had been offered at 14..6d ;
and mall, of 501 b. weight, at 124.6 d.; oats, weighing 371 b.
3711 b., at 10. ; and beans and peas at from 18s. to 201. per
quarter fire on board.
Oar Stettin letters are of the Bth April. Owing to the
extreme insignificance of the supplies of wheat from the
growers, the discouraging Beglialt account, had produced no
influence on prime, and really fine Uckermark and Pomera-
nian, 61 to 62.b5. weight, was still (looted 34.. to 355., and
MIN. red Stettin 335. per qr. free on board. These rates
being above the limits of the few orders on hand, scarcely
any business bad been done. The operations in spring
corn had also been circumscribed, barley having been held
at ejnal to 16e. to 165., and oats at 12s. per qr. free on

From Rostock we kern that the little floe wheat remain-
ing in warehouse had been held at enhanced rates, and that
it would have been difficult to boy 82 to 631 b. paresis so u
to glow being put free on board below 38s. to 375. per qr.l
From Stralsund, Girlefiwald, and And's, the advice§
are generally of a very firm tone, and the price for good
wheat, at the ports nosed, had not gone below 341., whilst
superior samples had been held at 365. per qr., free on board.

LAMBITH.

Tan "Ray. Da." Dawn %MST AOLIIr.—Mr. RObinioll, the
sap. riateudint of the P divielou of polies, waited on Mr.
Not toa for the purpose of putting the public, particularly the
bent robust portion of it, tie their guard against a hypocri-
tical imposter.
Mr. Rubinson stated that some days before, • letter, of
which the Solkeries. te • eopy —" The Bee. Dr. Hurry
Dewharst trusts Mr. —will kindly this intrusion.
Having takes Deassult.street C free sesta). it is
h• intention, if possible, to open it for divine service on
Sunday week, if by the sale of kis ' History of the Bible,'
6s 6d., he eel °Male • smell sum to buy • black gown,
surplice, print some bilk, to. If Mr. will kindly con•
deemed to purchase one or wire sepias, Dr. D. will feel most
grateful. He proposes, with God's mistime*, hay's/ ewe
full Sabbath aerie's, and one sash Tuesitity she. Moo to
lecture three times a week on the errors of Ronianlem, as his
chapel I. in a crowded, poor peopled district, and ekes to •
large Roman catholic chapel. Aa early reply is very humbly
solicited. Address, No. 4, Lee'eplace, Obelisk, Surrey,"—
was forwarded to him by the gestienian to whom it was
directed, for the purposeof makieg, or haelig some inquiries
made about It. The result of times 'equities would be stated
to his worship by Eievgeant QtlinnOST, and were such as to
satisfy him, Mr. Robinson, •hat Dowburet was a rte k im-
postor, and he telt it to be his duty to mention the fact than
publicly, that benevolent Individuals might not be imposed
cm by him.
Mr. Norton observed that bs was very well acquainted
with the history of this Dr. Mellen!, for at least a dozen
of years, and he did not believe that there wss in existence
a mire grow hypocrite and impostor. Some mouths ago that
person underwent several 011illiniLiOnS before him as
charges of obtaining mosey under false pretences, and the
evidence then given against him disclosed a series of d makes-
nee, debauchery, pri Sign,. and hypocrisy, slmost nu•
paralleled, and in the end he seat him to prison fur two
months fur robbing his ready furnished lodgings and pledg-
ing the goods. He (Mr. Norton) sincerely hoped that the
public, through the usual useful &suns* would be put on
their guard against sub a parson. •
Sergeant Quinn..,, who had been instrateed bylils super-
inten.fint to make the neesseary inquiries into the matter,
said that Dewtturst, since his Sheraton from prison, resided
in Lers'oplace, as he represented, bat his representations
about the chapel were unfounded.
Mr. Norton observed that it was by precisely similar
mierrpresentatlons that Dewhurst managed to impose on
the teneyulent, but if all persons to whom such letters
were addressed acted with the same caution as the gentle-
man who hid corresponded, there would soon be as sod to
such imposture.

Advises from Pavia, of the 15th, state that Marshal
Radetaky, accompanied by Lieutenant-Marshal
Bchwarteenberg, General Benedick, and some engi-
neers officers, inspected the frontiers near that place
that mot ning, and immediately leit far Nlayenta and
Buffalora, also to examine the frontiers. The marshal
informed the mayor that the object of his visit was
exclusively milita7, and was to inspect the two paints
of passage for Piedmont.
Two strong detachments had arrived at Abbia-
Tegrasso, where usually there was only stationed a
small detachment of gendarmerie.
The marshal's object is said to be to render the
passage of the Tessin as difficult as that of the l'n, by
constructing 14 forts between Seeto-Calendo and the
embouchure of the Tessin. The works are to be begun
in eight days.

to hold a meeting to protest egainst the
spoliatary measures of the Spanish govern-
ment, and to a ndeavour to engage their govern-
ment to co-sperate with that of Great Britain on

ALTERATION IN THE PRACTICE OF THE

COURT OF CHANCERY.

The sew orders and rules for the Court of Chersitry
wen Waal en Wednesday lest by the Lord Chassidim, and
have calesed push o:alienist and discussion la the pro-
fession. The changes to be »trades,» is Chancery mite are
of great martian, sad will no doubt affeet meet motional
the advantage' of the pearl» sad the lairemee of
men. These ceders, ea abridgment of MIA* be dam/
below, provide that any pens geekleg visitable valid la
edministntion and•aetore suit, where perrenal Mate
only is smarmed, la forceless» sad redemption suite, suite
for the sped& performs» of &greases% for partnership
aceounte, and for the appointment of new trustees, may,
instead of proceeding by bill of cromplaint, in the usual
form, file a this against the pence& from whom he seek*
relief. The plaintiff is then to as. out a writ of
mummies, requiring the• defendant to appear within four-
teen days and show cause why such relief should not be
granted, and an order is then to be made by the cot, upon
motion, granting or refusing the relief claimed, or directing
neonate or inquiries before the master, who le to be at
liberty to direct any other parties not before him to be served
with a seances to appear, and alto to direct the revival of
Baits which may bare become abated or defective by theism'
simple proems; and in any nee other than those enumerated
in the orders, the court may, upon the ex pert* application
of any person seeking equitable relief, and epos readies the
claim prepared to be filed, give leave t o ale such claim, and
see out a writ of summons under the orders. These orders,
' however, an not intended to prevent any person, If by rea-
-1 son of the complicated nature of hie ceee he shall think
at, to proceed under the old form of bill of complaint; bat
at the same time h• will be subject to pay all the extra
costs beyond what would have been incurred by pro-
Guiding under the orders, In arse the court upon the hearing
should be of opinion that an effectual deem might have
been obtained in the lea expensive method pointed out by
the orders. It will be seen that an immense saving of ex-
peon and delay will thus be erected. It is well known
that by far the greatest number of Chancery suits are insti-
tuted for some ace of the purposes Included in the orders
and a very great boon will be emilerred by them upon the
public. The change thus introduced will enable all (mou-
ton and administrators to obtoin quickly, and at a small
cost, the immense advantage afforded by a judicial investiga-
tion and a judicial sanction of their accounts. When an
exam» penes his accounts In the Court of Chancery, he is
discharged from all further liability, and a creditor is left to
his remedy against the legatees ; but if he pays away the
reside: without passing his accounts in tour ,t he does it at
his owe risk, and many ere the cases in which executors,
who have distributed their testator's estate In innocence and
ignorance of claims, have been made to refund after a great
number of years. The present orders will encourage all
executors to come for protection to the court.

SWITZERLAND.

In two electoral district, of Berne, the Emmenthal
and the Oberland, the resells were favourable to the
radical candidate., although only one, M. Lehmann,
candidate for the Emmenthal, obtained the absolute
majority. In the Oberland, M. Herten, the radical
candidate, obtained 5,569 votes; M. Knechtenhoser,
the conservative, 6,322, oat of 11,283.
The National Council was occupied on the 23rd and
21th with the monetary question, the most important
of the session.

ITALY.
ROMAN STATES.
Our correspondent states in his letter of the 19th
instant that a grand ceremony was performed at
Rome on the preetding afternoon. The Pope, stand-
ing on a stage erected at the foot of the Vatican steps,
gave his uenediction to the French army of occupa-
tion ass-tabled in the piazza of St. Peter's to the num-
ber of 8,000 men. On one side of his Holiness stood
the French Cardinal Dupont, and on the other, the
absolutist minister, Cardinal Antonelli.
Tbe Statute of Florence says that a cuosistory was
expected to be held on the 20th.
Our correspondent states, in his letter of the 21st
inst., that the Pope seems by no means disposed to
lead the retired life that was expected, and shows
himself frequently in public. On the 20th his holi-
ness assisted at the conclusion of a triduum at the
Santa Maria Maggiore.

SARDINIA.
The Courrier des Alps, of the 23rd, states that the
Piedmontese government intends substituting the
Spanish mode of execution, called garrote, t, the gib-
bet, at present in use. The garrote is a species of
pillory, with a screw passing through the post, and
havi, g a hsher at ita extremity, which, put round
the neck of the culprit, and suddenly twisted by the
agency of the screw, produces immediate strangula-
tion. Experiments have already been tried at Turin

A shock of earthquake took place on the 14th inst.
at Ragusa, which exceeded in violence and duration
that of 1843, and threw the inhabitants into a perfect
state of consternation. The undulatory movement
first began at one o'clock in the day, and was pre-
ceded by a bright light, which soon disappeared. The
gases or the city were opened in order to give egress
to the inhabitants in case of need. Many of the wells
and roars of the houses were damaged, and the fur-
niture in same of them thrown down and broken.
Similar shocks were felt at the same time at Jara and
at Stsgno ; at the latter place several houses were
thrown down.

now any sellers. In plantation Ceylon some private sales
have also been made much below former quaationa. Save
ral transactions have occurred in Rice, to the extent of
10,000 or 12,000 bags, at 6s. 61. to Os. per cwt. for fine to
good white Bengal. Black Pepper has been sold at a do-
cline of Id. per 16., and Cassia Lignea is 12s. per cwt.

Mr. LABOUCHEBE said be had received from the
imams Odle R,yel Adelaide repreetratations, the truth of
which he lied no reason to doubt, to the effect that that
vowl was extremely well-built, of the drstelus, and aot an
old Alp, end that the commander who had charge of her at
the time when the layout happened, was experienced and
skilful. Frogs the statements of thou who had had an
opportunity of witnessing some things connected with the
eateetreplu, there appeared norm to believe that it was
caused by some sudden @solarise or accident on board,
while the vinyl was Libraries under stress of weather.
Although it appeared impossible to clear up the mystery
which overhung the fate of this unlortunate vowel, he did
not believe the calamity was owieg either to her construe
tioa or to any want of sk‘ll on the part of the commander.
It was, he thought, attributable to one of those misfortunes
which, is spite of all care, would oecaskatally betel vessels
placed in such a position.

,the account, which takes place to-day, and
which, op to the present time, has gone off
without any sinister accident. Consols were first
quoted-971 to „ for present transfer, but the account
being a decidedly " bullish" one, repeated sales de-
pressed prices, and sent them down to 97, at which
they are last marked. For the 17th July account the
continuation is ;.they mark 97. and last 974. They

AMERICA.

NEW YORE, MAT 28.
In my last, by the Pacific, I gave you the very
latest news from Cubs, and I eann.t deny that the
invasion of that island by Gen. Lopez was by no
means dislik dby the American people. The govern.
ment, as soon as it was informed of the probability of
such an attempt, ordered to sea every ship of war
that was ready for service; and, though an effort
was made in Congress to prevent its action,
by questioning the President's authority, Mr. Webster
sustained the proposition that vessels fitted out
in our ports for any such purpose as the invasion of
the territories of a country with which we wets at
peace, were subject to detention and capture by our
naval forces wherever they might be found. This is
probably the true view of the subject. Be this as it
may, we have uow the intelligence that the expedi-
tion of General Lopez has proved a miserable failure.
At the moment when the cabinet at Washington was
considering what was their immediate duty in the
premises, your minister, Sir H. Bul we r, communicated
te it the fact, that by a secret clause in the existing
treaty or treaties between England and Spain the
former was bound to intervene at any time when
Cuba was threatened with invasion or in danger. He
adroitly suggested that this might lead to a quasi-
blockade of our coast, the overhauling of our vessels'
and to serious misunderstanding, if not war itself.

The effect of such a hint may be imagined upon so
conservative and peaceful an administration as ours ;
and I give Sir Henry all possible credit for his dex-
terity in this as in former cases.
The President has caused the most positive icetruc-1
tions to be given to the U. S. district attorneys every
where, to commence criminal prosecutions against
(very pens an who has had anything to do with it.
The editor of the Venlatl, in this city, has been ar-
rested and held to bail in 5,000 dole., on a charge made
against him by the Spanish Consul ; and arrests will
certainly be made in every principal Atlantic city in
this country. A heavy fine and three months' impri-
sonment will be the lot of all these people.
I regret to say that the pack,t ship Yorkshire, just
arrived at this port, has lost 21 steerage passengers
by the cholera. Up to this time we have not had a
single case on the Atlantic coast. That it will attack
us row I scarcely have a doubt. It is approaching
us by the line of our western rivers, and it has entered
our harbour from your own country.—Awaalces.
