MARKIIT NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat during the present week,
and fresh up to this morning's market have been seasonably
good, and in full average condition ; hence the show of
samples of both red and white was moderately extensive.
The prevailing fine weather, added to the large imports of
foreign grain, had a depressing influence upon the trade,
which ruled heavy, at the decline noticed on Monday last.
For forward delivery, next to nothing was doing.
Upwards of 24,000 quarters of foreign wheat have ar-
rived. Really fine parcels were held somewhat firmly on
former terms. All other kinds were exceedingly inactive,
at barely stationary prices. Floating cargoes sold on former
terms.

Scarcely any English barley was on show ; but the
supply of foreign was seasonably large. The trade ruled
heavy, but no further decline took place in the quotations.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.
We were well supplied with oats, in which a moderate
business was doing, at late currencies.
Beans and peas were quite as dear as last week; but
flour was exceedingly depressed.

BOROUGH HOP.

There is an improved demand for nearly all kinds of
hops, the prices of which have advanced from 3s to 4s per
cwt. Tho supply is very limited. 34 bales have arrived
from Antwerp. Mid and East Kent pockets, 12Gs. to
168 s. ; Weald of Kent, 115 s. to 1300.; and Sussex, 112 s
to 1268 per cwt.

L. HYAM'S WHITSUNTIDE ATTIRE.

WHITSUNTIDE is a season which invariably
creates a universal demand for dress ; and, °wine to this
circumstance. the most flattering inducements are held out to the
public. " Economy" and "quality" become by-words, and every
tradesman professes to out-do his competitor.
L. lIYAM, however, is not ap,rehensivo of any adverse influence
being thus produced, knowing as he does 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 WRITSUNTIDE.

L. Hyam's Establishment is replenished with a stock of Llama
Cloths, Venetian Cloths, Undressed Tweeds, Mixed Cloths, Poplins,
Cashmerrettes, Alpacas. Merino, Gore Silks, Cassinetts, Saxony
Cloths, West of England Cloths, Kerseymere,, Doeskins, Angolas,
Figured Drills, Velvets, Silks, Satins, 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 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 of 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 season of fashion and fair weather.
OBSERVE !—L. lIYAM begs to state that he has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch•street,
City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi-
-I,ess carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with
good, durable, aid fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at
such economical prices as must defy all competition.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

Mr. SANDARS asked the President of the Board of
Trade, what course her Majesty's Government intended
to adopt this session of Parliament, with the view of
introducing a system of Agricultural Statistics into the
United Kingdom.
Mr. CARDWELL said that, through the agency of
that excellent body, the Irish constabulary, very detailed
information of the nature which the hon. member de-
sired in reference to Ireland had been already laid on
the table of the house. With regard to Scotland, the
Scottish Agricultural Society were taking the utmost
pains to furnish similar information. An experiment
was now being made in the counties of Sutherland, East
Lothian, and Roxburgh. In conjunction with his
right honourable friend the President of the Poor-law
Board he had made arrangements for enabling an expe-
riment of a similar kind during the present year in Hert-
fordshire and Devonshire. These experiments however
were only in a limited scale, but their object was to
prove to the parties concerned that it was to their in-
turest to facilitate arrangements on a more comprehen-
sive scale in future years.
REFORM OF THE COMMON LAW.
Mr. KEATING asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government, during the present Session of
Parliament, to introduce any measures embodying the
suggestions of the report recently made by the Common
Law Commissioners.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he bad to state in the absence
of his noble friend that it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to introduce a measure which would embody
the suggestions of the Common Law Commissioners.
BRONZE STATUES IN THE METROPOLIS.
Mr. B. WALL asked Sir W. Molesworth whether
the bronze statues in the metropolis were ever inspected,
or the rust cleared off; and whether they were under
the control of any Government-office ; and whether it is
intended, before the scaffolding is removed from the
statue at Charing-cross, to repair it ?
Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he had to state that
the Board of Works were not officially bound either to
inspect the bronze statues in the metropolis, or to clear
off the rust upon them. To the second question he had
to reply that these statues were not under the control
of any Government department, and though he thought
it might be desirable to place them under some such con-
trol, it was not the intention of the Government to bring
in a bill on the subject. With regard to the statue at
Charing-cross, he bad ascertained that the renovation of
the pedestal would cost about 1,000/. ; but there was n 3
immediate necessity for making the repairs. They might
safely be left for another year, and then perhaps it might
be expedient to propose a vote for the amount.

ON TRUE dr FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,

Generative System, or Sexual llypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICICFORD
• • •

"Dr. Pickford to known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
rime, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We oromlsed in a former number that we should recur to this
war's, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who gaffer from th com-
plaint of whirls it treats, we are satisfied that many h indreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which tha quacks most prize—
much money ... ...This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
%nut upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
,itely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1m152.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE Or Tilt: URETURA, on rrincl•
pies at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, In even its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms.

BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

"In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenai) has given
history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
F•uch are cases ix., xi., ail., and xviii. No. ix. had ros sled, for a
pinlod of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and am. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Symo, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."

Oranges and lemons advancing in price, the shipments of
the former from St. Michael having finished for the season.
A parcel of pineapples at Sierra Leone, brought by the
European steamer, and sold by Keeling and Hunt at public
sale, realised prices that will no doubt lead to large
im-
portations. Nuts, in consequence of the Whitsun holidays,
have met with an improved sale.

VERY a 00D. A contemporary, mis-spelling the
word " Kissengen," says, "Lord and Lady Normanby
are going to Kissagain."

TURKEY.

Prince MenschikollTLiiven the Porte eight
days to consider its decision on his ultimatum. The
representatives of England and France, consulted
on the subject of the Divan, have sent off couriers
to their respective Governments.
Advices from Smyrna are of the 11th of May.
The town was tranquil. The French squadron
was still in the Bay of Athens.
It was asserted in Paris yesterday that an elec-
tric dispatch had been received from Vienna, an-
nouncing that the Porte had accepted the Russian
ultimatum.
The German Journal of Frankfort contains a
letter from Constantinople of the 3d, which
says :—" It is known that the Government dis-
covered a fortnight back a conspiracy against
the Turks, which had for object to massacre the
Greeks and Franks ; the conspirators were for
the most part Mollahs. A great number had
come up from the provinces for the purpose.
The centre of the conspiracy was in the theolo-
gical schools connected with the mosque of Sultan
Mahomet. The schools in consequence have been
closed, and the pupils sent home to their families.

Several Mollahs have beer. arrested and sent back
to the provinces."
By a letter from Cairo we learn that Abbas
Paella left that city on the 26th ult., to make an
excursion in Lower Egrdt, and to attend the fair
of Tantali, which is all vays of great importance,
and which in April generally attracts about
150,000 persons. Tantah is noted for containing,
the beautiful mosque and the tomb of Said le Be-
douin, a famous Mussulman saint.
A letter from Beyrouth states that the celebra-
tion of the Easter ceremonies .at Jerusalem gave
rise, as usual, to scandalous conflicts between the
Greeks and the Armenians. On one occasion they
fought with such fury that the armed force had to
be employed to separate thorn.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived,
but their contents are of no importance. The
Clamor Publico announces that General Cabrera
has sent 2001. from London for the sufferers from
famine in the province of Galicia. " Such acts,"
says the Clamor, " cause us to forget the party
man, to think of the proverbial Spanish gene-
rosity." The Committee of the Royal Council
charged to examine the conditions on which rail-
ways are conceded, was displaying great activity.
The Epoca had been seized.—A letter says
" Notwithstanding the rumours in circulation, we
believe we can affirm that the Government does
not intend, at least for the present, to assemble the
Cortes."
The Three per Cents. were at 45.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DA Y.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE MORTON.
This bankrupt was described as of Belgrave-scillare'
bill discounter, &c., and to-day was appointed for the
certificate meeting.
Mr. Drew, Basinghall-street, prepared the bala,,nner
sheet, from which it appears that bankrupt owed 2,ouu"
and had petitioned the Court.
His Honour said he considered the proceedings weld!
against the bankruptcy law, —in short, it was a frau 1.
for the law said that no person should apply on their
own petition unless they had an available amount for the
benefit of his creditors. In this case the bankrupt ell;
tertained an idea of " expectancies," and perhaps el
advantage might- arise to the creditors. lie we s
therefore: adjourn the consideration of the case ibr
fortnight, and protection would be granted for that time.
The case was considered of considerable importance a'g
many bills had been discounted for the aristocracy

INCOME TAX BILL.

On the motion for the second reading,
Mr. DISRAELI said that, considerine, the state of
public business, it was not the intention of' the gentle-
men with whom he acted to oppose the present stage of
the bill. They reserved to themselves, however, the
full right of making any amendments they might think
proper ; and, with regard to the third reading, they did
not wish it to be understood that they had consented
to the principle of the bill by taking this course, as their
only wish was to combine the facilitation of public busi-
ness with the full discussion proper to such an important
subject. (Hear, hear.)
In answer to Mr. CRAUFURD,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he knew of no reason why any difference should be
made in the assessment of the property of royal burghs
in Scotland and municipal corporations in the country.
The hill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on Monday next.
London, England, 1853-05-20

REBELLION IN CHINA.

In reyly to Vicount JOCELYN,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that information
had reached the Government that the rebellion in China
was making considerable progress, and the Governor of
Shanghai had made a communication on the subject to Sir
G.lBonham the superintendent of Hong Kong. Sir G. Bon-
ham had sent a force to protect British subjects and their
property in the disturbed district while the Government
had given orders that sufficient means should be afforded
for the protection of the property of British subjects,
but care was to be taken that there was no interference
whatever in the civil war at present going on. (Hear.)
The motion that the house at its rising do adjourn
until Monday, was then agreed to.

MAYNOOTTI.

In answer to Mr. MAGUIRE,

Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government had no in-
tention of proposing a supplementary vote for the re-
pairs of Maynooth, in place of the vote which was re-
fused last night.

LAW OF PARTNERSHIP.

In answer to Mr. RICARDO,

Mr. CARDWELL said that the Commission which
was to be issued on the subject had passed from the
hands of the Lord Chancellor, and would be soon nomi-
nated.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

19
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, MO
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steanili
Indus, Captain John Soy, arrived here this morning,
bringing the Southampton portion of the East Inal
China, and Mediterranean mails, in charge of Lieuteee9
Brown, R.N., Admiralty agent.
Her dates are—Alexandria, May 6 ; Malta, 9 ; 04,
Gibraltar, 14. The freight list includes 41 bales of W6B
367 bales and 6 cases of silk, 110 bales of cotton,
bales of flax, 10 eases of corahs, 114 cases of shawls, 'I.
boxes of lemons, 3 chests of oranges, 6 casks a e'ot
phants' tusks, 6 casks of wine, and 183 jpackages
merchandise, baggage, &c.
Among the 147 passengers brought by this s e
w°7l,in
are—Lady and Miss Thackwell, the Hon. Mr. 1.5,,1fr.'
Captain Seymour, RN., Captain Stephenson an' ,t, ;
R. Stephenson, and Captain Drummond, from Calen'llf
Colonel Stratton, Major de Butts, and Captain Slit'
from Madras ; Captain Tylee, from Hong Kong, ,14,e'oe
Great disappointment will, no doubt, be felt n'
fact of this steamer not havinc, brought the ele;nced,
mail from Australia. The cause has not been exPi3,—•
but it appears that the Peninsular and Oriental Oilive
pany's steamer which it was arranged should
_Ale
Sydney on the 20th of February, has not
Singapore. It is thought most probable that the roil,
ing advices will be received by the next Overland ther
as the steamer, from bad weather, or from some °Sill'
game, had most likely been prevented from reaching
gapore in time to reach the steamer thence for Ce3ll°le I
1';0,
e
The intelligence brought by this steamer 11'nm' ressf
and China has been anticipated by the overland eg f
published in The Sun on Monday last. The nailis a
Calcutta has been brought through to Southampton
little under 40 days.

MARTTET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of this clay.)

SUGAR.—Tho Colonial Sugar market to-day presented a
less active appearance, and previous terms are not generally
sustained. West India was only in moderate demand,
and in some cases the rates taken were rather under those
of yesterday. Purchases are 490 hhds, &c., including at
auction 40 packages Barbadoes, which sold at 35s Od to
37s Gd, for ord to good yellow. For tho week total sales
aro 1,748 hhds, &c.
REFINED.—The currency of last week is well maintained
for refined, supply not being adelluate for home dealers
want, especially of lower sorts. Brown Lumps sold feeely
at 47s ; settlers, common to fine 47s Gd to 50s, double 518
to 535, Hambro' Loaves 48s to 525, double 53s to 545,
standard Lumps at 48s.
MAURITIUS.—There was less demand this afternoon for
Mauritius sugar, and rather lower rates were acceded to.
At auction 10,000 bags wore mostly sold ; fine to superior
yellow at 37s to 38s 6d, low to good 34s 6d to 36s 6d, good
to find brown 33s Gd to 345, inferior 28s to 325, and refining
32s 6d to 37s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the biddings were languid
at the public sales of 3,500 bags Bengal, and prices rather
declined, but nearly all sold. Fine white Benares at
38s Gd to 39s 6d, ord to good 35s Gd to 38s, good to fine
grainy yellow 38s Gd to 39s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN•—To-day purchases to a fair extent were
made by private treaty in foreign sugar both for export
and home-trade purposes, former rates being well kept up.
There was no public sale. The home-trade demand was
again active for refined sugar, and rates closed firmly.
Brown lumps at 475, low to fine grocery 47s Gd to 50s per
cwt. The currency is well maintained for crushed sugar,
and there are several export buyers.
COFFEE.—To-day several parcels of native Ceylon coffee
were sold privately at previous terms. At auction 1,000
bags old import went at 468 Gd to 475, and 100 casks at 46s
per cwt. for good ordinary.
TEA.—In congou extensive contracts have been again
entered into by the trade and speculators, producing a fur-
ther rise, good and fine sorts having been most in request.
SPIRITS.— Stock of West India rum is 2,800, and of
East India 900 puns, &c., less than last year ; for all pur-
poses deliveries aro to a fair extent, although rates rule
5d to 8d per gallon above that time.
OIL.—To-day a public sale of 60 tuns went at 891. lOs to
911. 5s per tun.
London, England, 1853-05-20

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

Mr. SANDARS asked the President of the Board of
Trade, what course her Majesty's Government intended
to adopt this session of Parliament, with the view of
introducing a system of Agricultural Statistics into the
United Kingdom.
Mr. CARDWELL said that, through the agency of
that excellent body, the Irish constabulary, very detailed
information of the nature which the hon. member de-
sired in reference to Ireland had been already laid on
the table of the house. With regard to Scotland, the
Scottish Agricultural Society were taking the utmost
pains to furnish similar information. An experiment
was now being made in the counties of Sutherland, East
Lothian, and Roxburgh. In conjunction with his
right honourable friend the President of the Poor-law
Board he had made arrangements for enabling an expe-
riment of a similar kind during the present year in Hert-
fordshire and Devonshire. These experiments however
were only in a limited scale, but their object was to
prove to the parties concerned that it was to their in-
turest to facilitate arrangements on a more comprehen-
sive scale in future years.
REFORM OF THE COMMON LAW.

Mr. KEATING asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government, during the present Session of
Parliament, to introduce any measures embodying the
suggestions of the report recently made by the Common
Law Commissioners.

Lord J. RUSSELL said he had to state in the absence
of his noble friend that it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to introduce a measure which would embody
the suggestions of the Common Law Commissioners.

BRONZE STATUES IN THE METROPOLIS.
Mr. B. WALL asked Sir W. Molesworth whether
the bronze statues in the metropolis were ever inspected,
or the rust cleared off; and whether they were under
the control of any Government-office ; and whether it is
intended, before the scaffolding is removed from the
statue at Charing-cross, to repair it ?
Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he had to state that
the Board of Works were not officially bound either to
inspect the bronze statues in the metropolis, or to clear
off the rust upon them. To the second question he had
to reply that these statues were not under the control
of any Government department, and though he thought
it might be desirable to place them under some such con-
trol, it was not the intention of the Government to bring
in a bill on the subject. With regard to the statue at
Charing-cross, he had ascertained that the renovation of
the pedestal would cost about 1,000/. ; but there was na
immediate necessity fOr waking the repairs. They might
safely be left for another year, and then perhaps it might
be expedient to propose a vote for the amount.
London, England, 1853-05-20

CUSTOMS' DUTIES RESOLUTIONS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he intended to propose so many of these resolutions
as were not expected either to be opposed or debated
immediately after the Income Tax Bill should have
passed thrtugh committee, on the same night, at what-
ever hour it might be. The remainder will be taken on
as early a night as could be possibly fixed.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR THE
QUEEN'S BIRTH-DAY AND THE DERBY-DAY.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that, on Monday
next, he should move, that the house adjourn over the
Queen's biith-day, and as, on looking to the notice
paper, he saw there was but one order of the day down
for Wednesday, he should move that the house at its
rising on Monday adjourn until Thursday next. (Cheers.)
The house then went into committee of supply, Mr.
Bouverie in the chair, and was
