ARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
Notwithstanding that the show of English Wheat here
to-day was very moderate, the demand for all kinds, owing
to the continuous imports of Foreign Flour, and the heavy
stocks here, was in a depressed state, at Monday's decline
in the quotations, and a total clearance was not effected.
Only 67U quarters of Foreign Wheat have come freoh to
hand, vet the quantity brought forward was seasonably
good. Fine dry qualities were held at previous rates; but
all other kinds were lower to purchase. Floating cargoes
were quite neglected. Malting Barley was scarce, and quite
as dear. Grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little
attention. Malt, though in very moderate supply, moved off
slowly, at barely late rates. W e had a fair sale for Oats, and
last week's prices were well supported. Beans and Peas sold
slowly, at barely the late advance. Indian Corn and Flour
were a dull inquiry.

admitted that the Hon. Gentleman was quite justified in
putting the question; hut he could assure him and the
House that the attention of the Government to th 3 cir-
cumstances connected with the induction of Mr. Bennett
had been unremitting.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted, that
after having made that declaration the Hon. Gentleman
would not press for further inrormation.—(Hoar.)
B.ORSMAN was unwilling to trespass further,
pefhaps, the Right Honceirabh) Gentleman
would state when the House might expect to
be further informed on this subject?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could
fix no particular day, but he certainly did expect that it
would be in his power to communicate something definite
to the House speedily—(Hear, hear)—when he would
not wait for any question to be asked him, hut would
afford the information voluntarily.—(Hear, hear.)

The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces
during the past week are all satisfactory. At Manchester
the general course of business has continued to show mach

At Birmingham both the home and foreign orders have been
good, the demand for Australia also being particularly large.
The returns of the principal parishes continue to show a di-
minution of pauperism as coil-leered with the corresponding
period of last year, notwithstanding the general prosperity
then prevalent. In the woollen districts there has been no
alteration of importance. From Nottingham the reports
show that the recent improvement in tile lace trade has been

The clearance:-; from the port of London for the
gold colonies of Australia during the past week have been
large. They consisted of seven vessels to Port Philip, of
an aggregate capacity of 4,290 tons, and one to Geelong (in
ballast) of 331 tons. There was also one vessel for Ade-
laide, of 333 tons, besides two for Van Diemen's Land, of a
joint capacity of 940 tons.• Spirits and wines continue to be
freely shipped. but the proportion of other goods has not
been relatively large. The two vessels to Van Diemen's
Land, however, took considerable cargoes. Tho total num-
ber of passengers has not been ascertained, but it is supposed
to have been nearly 1,090.
The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces
daring the past week are all satisfactory. At Manchester
the general course of business
has continued to show much
steadiness, and, in consequence of the state of the Liverpool
cotton market, there has been a tendency to higher prices.
At Birmingham both the home and foreign orders have been
good, the demand for Australia also being particularly large.
The returns of the principal parishes continue to show a di-
minution of pauperism as comrared with the corresponding
period of last year, notwithstanding the general prosperity
then prevalent. In the woollen districts there has been no
alteration of importance. From Nottingham the reports
show that the recent improvement in the lace trade has been
strongly maintained, while for hosiery there hasbeen an aug-
mented demand both for home use and for exportation to
Australia. Here, as at Birmingham, the increased means of

GOODWOOD Cur.—The very superb nnd massive
cup prepared for the Goodwood races by Mr. Hancock, of
Bruton-street, makes up the fourth piece of plate which we
have inspected, and which willbe run for this week in Sus-
Mr. Hancock's cup is one of the largest, if not the
liae-rliest, ever made. Its general appearance is somewhat that
of a vase, with a richly decorated top and handle. The pro-
portions are solid and massive, without losing any of their
grace ; and the chasing of the decorations—a number of
nymphs in richly ornamented compartments, with horses'
heads between—is a work of great artistic skill and minute
elaboration. There is no particular design or subject repre-
sented. The work belongs to the florid school in vogue
under Louis Quatorze, and its general appearance is, we
i
repeat, handsome and massy in the highest degree. The
spreading of the orders fer raCo-cops over the principal me-
tropolitan silversmiths has evoked a degree of intelligent
competition which bids fair to prociz:tce the best effects upon

the impossibility of its existent unti -tater times,
not because the poor were better off of old than they
are at present—far from it; but serfdom required no
parochial relief. It is also shown how, when the
serfs gradually obtained their freedom, every en-
deavour was used to obstruct them : thus an. Act
passed during the reign of Edward the Sixth, the
barbarity of which can hardly be credited, and which
(although it was but little put in force and repealed in
a subsequent Parliament) shows, nevertheless, the
desire that existed in the Government to sub-
ject the people, went so far as to brand and
ensleve for a period of tsvo• years all who
came under `thee denomination of beggars ; and the
mildest statutes for the prevention of begging were
severe and cruel. The description of the state of the
poor throughout the whole volume, together with the
extraordinary enactments passed and repealed, is
highly valuable, and the whole history of our pre-
sent poor. laws and their predecessors, which gives
full and detailed accounts of their general misma-

SAVINGS BANKS•

Mr. REYNOLDS asked whether it was the intention
of the Government this session to introduce a Bill for
amending the law respecting savings banks in Great
Britain ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
there was no intention on the part of the Government
to introduce any Bill this session on the subject, but
the law respecting savings' banks, was under the consi-
deration of the Government, and they would take the
earliest opportunity of proposing a measure next
session.

The following appears in the Paris correspondence
of the ll:dependance of Brwsels :
"The President of the Republic, on leaving the Champ
de Mars after the ceremony, had proceeded by the Qaays
to return to the Ely!e-. When nearly opposite the
d'Anrin, the Prince perceived that the guides bad
gone considerably beyond tire place where they should
have turned to the left for the Elyre,, and that ikey
were going to the Tuileries. kom-citately to the
General who was nearest to him. • Genera!, order them
to return. I will not g,, the Tuileries; it would be
said, Qae Empire cat fait.'"
An accident, which might have been attended with
fatal consequences, took place during the religious ce-
remony in the Champ de Mars on Monday. A long
piece of wood, which had been loosened by the wind,
was falling directly on the head of the Archbi-hop of
Paris, when a person near turned its direction. It
struck, however, the Cute of St. Eustache on the
head, and inflicted a serious wound. He was imme-
diately taken to the Ecole Militaire and bled, and is
not now in any danger.
The Minister of Police has addressed to the pre-
fects of the departments a circular explaining to
them, for their government, the provisions of the
treaties with England and Hanover for the protection
of copyright.
The sister of the celebrated General Moreau,
Mdlle. Alexandrine Moreau, died a few days ago,
aged 92.
The provincial journals continue to announce re-
signations of members of councils-general, municipal
councils, and tribunals of commerce, to avoid taking
the oath to the Constitution of 1852. ale number
is rather considerable.
The Guienne says :—" We learn from a good
source that the sentence on Commandant Peyronni is
commuted to banishment for ten years."
The Journal du Puy-de-Dome states that General
Cavaignac has purchased a fine estate near Raudan,
in that departmen', and has already arrived there
with the intention of residing on it for a considerable
portion of the year.
M. de Rib:?yrolles, who was principal editor of the
_Reforme, arrived, a few days ago, at Ostend from
England with a false passport, in the name of Fiirote.
He was recognised, and arrested for using a false
passport, and was immediately atterevaids compelled
to re-embark for England-
