EXCISE DUTIES ON SPIRITS BILL.

This bill went through committee, pro forma, and was
ordered to be reprinted.

REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES BILL.
On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. HADFIELD expressed a hope that the second read-
ing would not be pressed then, although it was intended to
refer the bill to a select committee.
Mr. T. EGERTON said the bill had met with consider-
able opposition in the country, and he could not consent to
the second reading, unless the noble lord the member for
the city of London would allow evidence to be taken by
the committee.

Lord J. RUSSELL had no objection to give the com-
mittee power to call for papers and to take evidence, be-
lieving that they would exercise it discreetly, but he could
not consent to postpone the second reading for the sake of
discussion, as it would be much better to discuss the prin-
ciple and details of the bill when it came down again from
the select committee. (Hear, hear.)
After a few words from Mr. Saunders, Mr. I. Butt, Mr.
G. Palmer, and Mr. Hindley,
Mr. FREWEN expressed a hope that the hon. gentleman
the member for Cirencester, who took a deep interest in the
bill, and thoroughly understood it, would be placed on the
committee. (Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL promised that he should.
The bill was then read a second time and ordered to be
referred to a select committee.

LOWER CANADA.

Four tine Freehold Estates, comprising* 132,652 acres, deserving the
attention of the enterprising Capatalist.

MR.. ROBINS is favoured with instructions to
submit to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart,
London, on THURSDAY, June 2, at 12, together or in Lots,
The Four singularly-important Lauded Estates of the GASPE
FISHERY and COAL MINING COMPANY,
- -

Containing altogether 132,652 acres of land in Lower Canada,
upon which the finest timber is growing, exempt from all seignorial
rights, and held in free and common soccage, with indisputable titles.
In these days of emigration to the West, which seems to offer the
greatest attractions to the IN ally industrious, these Estates present
to the speculator an unusual opportunity to employ his capital
(under the influence and protection of the British Government) with
every certainty of a large return :-
1. The Estate of P A BOS consists of 51,840 acres, near the entrance
to the nal, of Chalenr, the boundary commencing at the Great
Pabos River, and extending three leagues from the coast into the
interior. several extensive and substantial bto !dings have been
erected at this station for carrying on the fisheries, and are all in
good order; and the Estate produces pine, spruce, cedar, and birch,
2. The Estate of NEW PORT adjoins the Pabos Estate, and con-
tains 10,394 acres. A voluble water-power saw mill has been
erected on this property, which is near the fishing establishment of
the Company, where capital buildings have been erected well ca'eu-
lated for this branch of the business. Pine, spruce, cedar, and birch,
are produced on the Estate.
3. The Estate of PORT DANIEL is a good harbour in the Bay of
Chaieur, 18 miles west of Pabo, comprising 4,000 acres, well covered
with spruce, birch, and juniper.
4. The Estate of BONAVENTURA comprises 66,418 acres in the
township of Cox and Hamilton, on the Great Bonaventura River, a
tine tract of land with pine, spruce, birch, cedar, and juniper. .
The proposed Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, brought out under
the most respectable auspices, both in England and Canada, and sup-
ported by the Government, and by which Halifax and Quebec will
be pat into immediate communication with the Railways of the
United States, runs in the immediate vicinity of the Bay of Chaleurs,
on the borders of which the lands of the Company are situate.
Mr. Robins begs to add that plans of these truly important proper-
ties may be seen at his offices, and full particulars may he had on
application to Messrs. Amory, Travers, and Smith, solicitors, 25,
Throgmorton-street, and Messrs. Roy, solicitors, 4, Lothbury ; at
the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. Robins' offices, Covent-garden.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Berne of the 25th says that M. de
Karniki, the Austrian Ambassador, had not taken
his departure, but was selling of his carriages,
horses, &c. He contemplates, it was said, taking
the waters in the canton of the Grisons. Part of
the Austrian Embassy was, as already stated, to
remain to dispatch secondary affairs.
The Court-martial of Friburg has condemned the
cures Delly and Perrier, chiefs of the recent insur-
rection in that canton, to twenty years imprison-
ment with hard labour ; and the other accused to
from one to fifteen years' imprisonment. The sen-
tences are in accordance with the Federal military
laws. The accused have been besides jointly con-
demned to the costs.

MOVING TABLES.—A correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian, who is described by the editor as a person
who stands second to no individual in that city in point
of social position, intelligence, and personal honour, says
"I, with three others, utterly disbelieving the reports
about moving tables, tried the experiment. A common
painted small tea table, having one stam and three feet,
was placed on an oilcloth, on which also our chairs were
placed. We sat placing the palms of our hands flat on
the table near the edge, each person joining the tips of
of his own thumbs, and also joining the tips of his little
fingers with those of his neighbours, thus forming a circle
round the table. In fifteen minutes there was a move-
ment of the table from right to left, which continued
until we were obliged to leave our seats to follow our
hands, which we kept fixed on the table. The motion
increased in rapidity, and we became both dizzy from
moving round and tired with the circular length of the
walk, or rather run. I tried to stop the table by pres-
sing very heavily and succeeded. It would not go on
again, and it was some time before we discovered that
the jerk of stoppage had disunited two little fingers. In
a minute after these were rejoined, the table recom-
menced its rapid motion. We then agreed to wish the
table to turn round the opposite way, and it did."

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENINI

H E SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COPPER
MINING COMPANY.
The Committee of Management have much satisfaction in inform-
ing the Shareho:ders that the Company's superintendent and engin-
eers, and mining captain (completing the staff), sailed from the
Downs in the Agra, on the 21st inst. The Agra being a fast•sailing
clipper, it is confidently expected she will arrive at Adelaide before
the Caroline, which took out the machinery and several of the
miners. Those dispatched by the emigrant ship Ramillies, in the
early part of February, are probably now arrived at the mines, in-
structions having preceded them to the Colonial Committee to put
the men at work immediately on their arrival.
The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held early In
Jcne (as fixed by the Company's rules), when resolutions will be
submitted for declaring the bonus, and for amending the rules of the
cost book, to enable the Company to work for gold, or to lease cer-
tain portions of their property for that purpose to others.

To-day's market was very extensively supplied with all
kinds of foreign stock, the general quality of which was
inferior. The demand ruled heavy, and prices were fully
2d per 81bs. lower than on Monday last. The Hamburgh
sheep sold at an average of about 17s per head. There was
a considerable increase in the arrivals of home-fed beasts,
but there was a great deficiency in their general weight
and condition. Notwithstanding that the attendance of
buyers was good, the beef trade was in a very sluggish
state, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of quite 2d
per 81bs. The general top figure for beef was 4s 6d, but a
few superior Scots realised 4s 8d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 909 Scots and short horns ; from the northern
grazing districts, 1,200 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and, from
Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots.
We were heavily supplied with sheep, all kinds of which
moved off slowly, at a fall in the currencies obtained on
this day se'nnight of quite 2d per 81bs. The general top
figure for Downs was 5s per Blbs.
The number of lambs was good, whilst the lamb trade
was in a depressed state, and prices were fully 4d per 81bs
lower than on Monday last.
Calves, the supply of which was large, moved off slowly,
at from 2d to, in some instances, 4d per 81bs less money.
There was a very slow sale for pigs, the value of which
had a downward tendency.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 25, 1853.

The Succession Duty Bill received its second
reading in the House of Lords on Friday evening,
without any division being taken as to its prin-
ciple. So far all is right ; but, unfortunately,

there were indications of " breakers ahead" that

threatened to oppose formidable obstacles to its
safe arrival in the destined port. Lord DERBY,
in a long and able speech, enumerated a variety
of
objections to the details of the bill, and declared
that, although he would not oppose the second
reading, he should certainly bring forward
amendments in

under any circumstances, be most imprudent, but
it would, at this moment, be peculiarly dangerous.
In,the present lowering appearance of the political
horizon, with the Russian difficulty still impend-
ing, we can scarcely suppose that any Noble Lord
- would incur the grave responsibility of rejecting a
• money bill, and one, too, of such vital consequence,
which had been deliberatelyganctioned by a large and
decisive majority of the popular representatives, and
,by an overwhelming majority of the people. It
• must not be forgotten that any alteration, how-
ever trivial—that any change in the least impor-
tant detail, must be as fatal to the measure as a
decided rejection on the second or third reading.
The. House of Commons will not permit any tam-

privilege. From time immemorial it has assumed
the office of guardian of the public purse, and

Our market continues very inactive ; yet we have
scarcely any change to notice in prices. The plantation
accounts are by no means favourable. The imports into
