LATEST FOREIGN NEWS,

FRANCE.

The original columns of the Paris journals are
almost destitute of interest. Tho Ministerial jour-
nals have said all that could be said in favour of
the pacific policy of the Government, and what
are called the independent journals find it difficult
in the present state of uncertainty, as regards the
proposition which has been made to the Emperor
of Russia, to continue their commentaries.
The Minister of War went on Monday to in-
spect the military school of St. Cyr. On his ar-
rival he found the pupils in the refectory, and
allowing them time to finish their repast, he went
over the different parts of the establishment to
judge by himself of the manner in which every-
thing was conducted. The pupils were then called
out under arms, and a considerable time was occu-
pied in their going through the manoeuvres of the
several branches of the service. In the gymnatic
school, at firing at a mark, and in the fencing-
room the pupils also displayed to the Minister their
acquirements, and he expressed his perfect appro-
bation of all he witnessed. On leaving the estab-
lishment, the Marshal addressed General Alexandre,
the head of the school, and declared himself to be
much pleased with the state of the establishment
and with the efficiency of the pupils.
The Minister of Marine arrived at Rochefort
from Nantes on the afternoon of the 18th in the
Roland. and was received at his landing by the
principal civil and naval authorities. The troops
drawn up to receive him shouted " Vive l'Ern-
pereur !"
The Gazette du Languedoc of Toulouse has re-
ceived a second warning for publishing an address
to the Count de Chambord.
The Moutteur contains the following decree
"The prohibitions imposed by the ordonnance of
the Bth February, 1826, will cease provisionally as
to corn and flour imported from the possessions of
the United Kingdoms of Great Britain in Europe."
A General advance in Government Securities

IMPERIA

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woo
sack at five o'clock.

COASTING TRADE.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented petitions
from Hartlepool and Sunderland against the admission
of foreigners into the coasting service. The noble earl
called attention to certain returns, recently laid before
the house, which showed that while there was a diminu-
tion of 2,412 seamen in the coasting trade, there had
been an increase of 17,817 in the foreign trade.
(Hear, hear.) This was a very remarkable state-
ment, but he apprehended that the returns with regard
to the foreign service were incorrect, and he supposed
they included emigrants and passengers who had worked
their passage out. He thought, under these circum-
stances, it was desirable that it should be ascertained
how many who went out in vessels in the foreign trade
returned again to this country. He trusted the Govern-
ment would make some inquiry into the subject.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY admitted there
was a discrepancy between the returns, and no doubt the
noble earl had given the correct interpretation of them.
He should make the inquiry which the noble earl had
suggested.

We have much pleasure in directing public

L. HYAM'S WHITSUNTIDE ATTIRE.

WHITSUNTIDE is a season which invariably
creates a universal demand for dress; and, owing to this
circumstance, the most flattering inducements are held out to the
public. " Ecenomy " and " quality" become by-words, and every
tradesman professes to out-do his competitor.
L. HYAM, however, h not ap,rehansiva of any adverse influence
being thus produced, ltnowinct as he dots the extent, variety, novelty,
excellence, and cheapnePs of his Whitsuntide preparations. The
proprietor is desirous of impressing on the public the fact that he has
prepared a variety of

Cloths, West of England Cloths, Kers,-ymere,, Doeskins, Angolas,
Figured Drills, Velvets, Silks, satins, Melton Fabrics, and an infinite
variety ot the newly-invented materials peculiar to the present sea-
son. In designing and manufacturing the above goods into
NEW GARMENTS FOR WHITSUNTIDE.

L. Hyam has taken especial care to incorporate all the late im-
provements which public taste and experience have suggested ; and
the proprietor flatters himself that the high reputation of his City
Establishment is greatly enhanced by the elegant and superior as-
sortment 01 dress new on sale. The Melton Oxonians are deserving
of special recommendation, being novel, fashionable, and really ex-
cellent in quality.
A. spiendid stock of Juvenile Attire may now be selected from, and
parents and guardians are assured that their requirements will be
amply supplied at this sea' on of fashion and fair weather.
OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that ho has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street,

ness carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be sanplied with

CORN EXCHANGE.

During the present week, and fresh up to this morning's
market, the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by
land carriage, have been on a very moderate scale. The
show of samples of both red and white here to-day, was
consequently limited, and, we may add, out of condition ;
nevertheless, the demand for all kinds was in a very inac-
tive state, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Scarcely
any business was transacted for forward delivery.
Upwards of 26,000 quarters of foreign wheat havo ar-
rived this week, chiefly from the westward. All kinds
met a dull inquiry at barely previous currencies. Floating
cargoes, though offered on easier terms, were quite neg-
lected.

We were very scantily supplied with home-grown barley ;
but the supply of foreign was extensive. All kinds wore
very dull, and the turn lower.
_ _

Malt—the show of which was good—sold heavily, at late
figures.

-The oat trade was dull, owing to the large imports, and
prices were with difficulty supported.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
beasts as to number, whilst their general quality was in-
ferior. The few prime Soots on offer changed hands
steadily, at, in most instances, an advance in the quotations
of 2d per 81bs, and the value of other breeds was well sup-
ported. The supply of sheep was seasonably good, yet the
mutton trade ruled firm, at fully Monday's prices. The
primest old Downs, in the wool, sold at 5s 4d—out of the
wool, 4s 4d to 4s 8d per 81bs. Lambs, the number of which
was not large, changed hands steadily, at full currencies ;
400 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. The veal trade
was brisk, at a further rise in prices of 2d per Sibs. The
primest calves were worth 5s per 81bs. Pigs sold slowly,
on former terms.

Mich cows were firm, at from 151 to 20/ each, including
their small ma.

NEWSPAPERS BILL.

Mr. RICARDO said the late Government introduced a
bill for the purpose of defining what was a newspaper,
and when the present Government came in they said they
should take up the bill. Now, he wished to know when
the Government measure was likely to be brought in.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
bill was in a state of great forwardness, and ready to be
laid upon the table, but it had been thought expedient
to delay bringing in the bill until the decision of the
house had been taken on the subject of the advertise-
ment duty.
Mr. RICARDO begged to remind the right hon.
gentleman that a prosecution was now, pending against
parties in the Court of Exchequer upon the question
arising out of the present unsettled state of the law.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was quite true
the prosecution was pending against a person named
Collet, but the prosecution was taken at the defendant's
own request, for the purpose of having the law defined
by one of the superior courts.
London, England, 1853-05-13

COURT OF EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.

(Before Mr. Baron Parke and a Special Jury.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. COLLET.
This was an information, filed at the instance of the
Commissioner of In'and Revenue, to recover penalties
against the defendant, for publishing a journal called
the Potteries Free Press, containing news, without
being stamped in accordance with the provisions of the
statute relating to the publication of newspapers.
The Attorney-General and Mr. Phinn appeared for
the Crown, and the defendant conducted his own case
in person.

The main facts, as to the contents and publication of
the journal, having been admitted,
The defendant contended that the production was not
a newspaper within the meaning of the act, and that he
had not knowingly and willfully evaded its provisions,
as he had informed the Commissioners of his intention
to publish the paper, but they had taken no notice of his
communication.
The jury, under the direction of the learned Baron,
almost immediately returned a verdict for the Crown for
three penalties of 201. each.
Mr. Phinn said he would not ask for more than one
penalty, and he would not press that if the defendant
was not in a condition to pay—the only object of the
commissioners being to try the question as to the legality
of such publication without a stamp.

TALLOW.—The market is quieter. P.Y.C. is 475. per
cwt. on the spot.
GREEN FRUlT.—Prices of all kinds are well supported,
the backward state of our own vegetation causing an addi-

from St. Michael and Lisbon having been sold by Keeling
and Hunt at public sale went at an advance of 2s. to 3s.

being against the use of the articles by the confectioners.

THE IRISH DISPUTE.

On the question of going into committee of ways and
means,
Mr. MAGAN entered into an explanation of what
he said on Friday night, relative to the intentions of the
present Government as to extending the income tax
to Ireland. He stated then that three honourable
members represented to a meeting of Irish members
that in the event of the Derby Government being turned
out, and a Whig Administration succeeding them, there
would be no disposition on the part of the new Govern-
ment to extend the income tax to Ireland. He was
mistaken in the members who made that statement. It
was only two, namely, the member for Tralee, and the
member for Roscommon. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. F. FRENCH wished to say a few words upon
this subject. The house must not suppose that this
meeting of Irish members ivas a secret
.affair—it was
held open and above board—and at that meeting the ques-
tion of extending the income tax to Ireland was warmly
discussed, and the discussion was ultimately adjourned. In
the meanwhile, between the adjournment and the next
meeting, he might say the right hon. gentleman the
member for Wells had represented to him what had
occurred. The right hon. gentleman then led him to
understand that there would be no disposition to extend
the income tax to Ireland, and upon the strength of that
information he made the statement to the meeting of
Irish members which was now imputed to him. (Hear.)
Mr. M. O'CONNELL said he was bound to confirm
the statement which had just been made. Shortly be.

L. HYAM'S WHITSUNTIDE ATTIRE.

WHITSIJNTIDE is a season which invariably
creates a universal demand for dress; and, owing to this
circumstance, the most flattering inducements are held eat to the
public. " Economy" and "quality" become by-words, and every
tradesman professes to out-do his competitor.
L. HYAM, however, is not apprehensive of any adverse influence
being thus produced, knowing as lie doss the extent, variety, novelty,
excellence, and cheapness of his Whitsuntide preparations. The
proprietor is desirous of impressing on the public the fact that he has
prepared a variety of
NEW MATERIALS FOR WIIITSUNTIDE.
L. Tlyam's Establishment is replenished with a stock of Llama
Clothe, Venetian cloths, Undressed Tweeds, Mixed Cloths, Poplins,
Cashinerrettes, Alpacas, Merinos, Gore Silks, Cassinetts, Saxony
Cloths, West of England Cloths, Kerseymeres, Doeskins, Angolas,
Figured Drills, "Velvets, Silks, Sating, Melton Fabrics, and an infinite
variety of the newly-invented materials peculiar to the present sea-
son. In designing and manufacturing the above goods into
NEW GARMENTS FOR WIITSUNTIDE.

L. Hyam has taken especial care to incorporate all the late im-
provements which publit taste and experience have suggested ; and
the proprietor flatters himself that the high reputation of his City
Establishment is greatly enhanced by the elegant and superior as-
sortment 01 dress new on sale. The Melton Oxonians are deserving
of special recommendation, being novel, fashionable, and really ex-
cellent in quality.
A splendid stock of Juvenile Attire may now be selected from, and
parents and guardians are assured that their requirements will be
amply supplied at this ileum of fashion and fair weather.
OBSERVE I—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street,
City (establishished upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi-
ness carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with

such economical prices as must defy an competition.
