VERA CRUZ.

In answer to a question from Mr. MACKINNON,
Lord PALMERSTON said he had given notice of the Blockade of
Vera Cruz, the moment he was made acquainted with it by the French
Government. It was established by the officers on the station at their own
discretion, which accounted for the delay. It was usual for countries, out
of courtesy, to give notice when they sent out orders for a blockade ; but
in this case they were conditional, and dependent upon discussions upon
the spot.
Mr. Alderman THOMPSON complained that the Captains of British
ships were not allowed to embark bullion on board their ships, which was
a great hardship upon the merchants of this country, inasmuch as the
balance of trade was much against Mexico.
Lord PALMERSTON said the Honourable Gentleman knew per-
fectly well that the French Government were entitled to establish
a blockade, and that it was only as a matter of courtesy
to the English Government, that an exception was made
to the packets carrying out correspondence between this country and
Mexico. Two questions were then put to the French Government;
first, whether they would permit those pagkets to convey specie belonging
to merchants; and, next, whether they would permit them to carry specie
belonging to the English Government. The French Government Re-
ceded to the latter request, but declined to allow packets to convey
specie belonging to individuals ; and certainly the permitting packets to
pass at all was an indulgence which we had no right to expect.

against them ; and also that the Committee came to a reso:utiOn
that the lists of ehjections from which they were erased were no lists. at
all, and actually refused to entertain any objection tbunded such lists..
And all the foregoing allegations being proved, the petitioners prayed
the House to restore their names to the pall, from which they had been
erased without any just cause; and also to examine the minutes of the

might seem best calculated to prevent the recurrence of such grievous
wrongs as those of which they complained.

to the measures hest calculated to accomplish the effectual ex.
tinction cf the traffic in slaves. I can assure you I fully share your
rezret in observing the extent of human suffering that is still occasioned
by tbis cruel trade. I have recently concluded with some foreign states
additional stipulations for tbc purpose of tting cl,-,wn this traffic. I have
engaged in negotiations with other foreign states for arrangements founded
en the principles recommended in your address, and I am urging Portugal
to fulfil her engagements ~ith Great Britain, by the conclusion (-.l' a
treaty adapted to the suppression of the Stare Trade now carried on under

and Learned Lord. Every body must be conscious howgreat were the No-
Lle and Learned Lord's powers of mind, and no one but a madman would
deprive himself of that Noble and Learned Lord's aid and assistance, un.
less there were very strong reasons fur his doing so.—(Hear.) Not to
detain the House longer, he would only add the expression of his hope,
that the acrimony which had been introduced into the discussion would
not affect the decision which Noble Lords were about to come to, but
that they would be guided in giving their votes simply by the cmsidera-
tion, how great was the importance of this subject to Ireland, and to the
empire at large.—(Hear.)
Lord BROUGHAIII would give a most positive, distinct, peremptory.
and unqualified contradiction to the assertion of the Noble Viscount, that
be (Lord Brougham) had volunteered to bring forward the English Poor_
law Bill : he was solicited, from a quarter which he could not now more
particularly allude to (for the illustrhus person was dead), to undertake
the Lill, and he had most reluctantly consented, seeing not the remotest
disposition on the part of the Noble Viscount to bring it forward him-
self. He also most positively and unequivocally denied that he had ever
given the Noble Viscount any reason to suppose that he should support
the second reading of this Bill.

Their Lordships then divided. The numbers were—

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

BELGIUM.
The Journal de Bruges gives the following account :
" Yesterday evening the King's Attorney and the Juge
d'lnstruction, set out by the first train from Ostend.
" We just learn that Mr. Fish, a Captain in the service
of her Britannic Majesty. was arrested in that town last
night at ten o'clock, at the Hotel de la Cour Imperiale,
on an accusation of abduction, and that he has been put
in prison. The name of the young lady is Marianne For-
wood, seventeen years of age. This young person, who
is extremely beautiful, left her mother's house a week ago,
and was on the point of embarking for England. She was
likewise arrested, and is now at the Hotel, guarded by two
gendarmes. The scene, though at so late an hour, col-
lected a great part of the population of Ostend.
BRUSSELS, DEC. 3.—Sir George Hamilton Seymour
set out yesterday for London, whither he goes on account
of the serious illness of his father. Mr. Walter, his Secre-
tary of Legation, will act as Charge d'Affaires during his
absence.

In this market those commodities in which any business is

rates. Refined goods are very scarce, and but little doing ;
prices rather higher. Tea is secure, but little business, and
prices unaltered. At public sale, 92 cks. and 2146 bags of
British Plantation Coffee, mostly of middling quality, fetched
about 1075., which is rather higher. A Mall parcel of Ja-
maica Ginger sold at about previous rates, These Were
all the public sales. For to-morrow we have public
sales of 11,800 bags of Manilla Sugar; 1,400 bags Rice;
3,000 bags Mauritius Sugar ; 20 casks Nutmegs, and a small

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Nov. 19.

The business transacted in Stocks on Saturday was more
extensive, though without any material change in previous
prices. United States Bank sold at 121, which shows a
small advance. In Delaware and Hudson Canal Com-
pany, Harlem, Boston and Providence, and New Jersey
Railroads, a considerable business was done at about the
prices of the preceding day. 1,000 dollars in Canal Fives,
1847, sold at par.
Exchange on London 9f per cent. premium.
Another new banking institution has been announced, to
be located in the Bowery, near Bond-street. The gentle-
men interested are Messrs. Russell Stebbins, Elisha Pe-k
P. Palmer, and R. Van Reuselaer, &c. The capital
300,000 dollars, to be increased ultimately, if required, to
two millions. The books of subscription to the North
American Trust and Banking Company have closed. The
capital now invested is five millions of dollars in bonds
and mortgages, in addition to cash subscriptions to a
larger amount.

The Manhattan Insurance Company have declared a
dividend of eight per cent, payable on Ist proximo.
The Mutual Insurance Company have declared a divi-
dend of five per cent. for the last six months, payable on
the Ist of December.

The receivers of the American Fire Insurance Com-
pany of this city give notice that they will pay a further
dividend of 3f per cent. on the claims allowed by them—
payable on the 23d instant.
We have New Orleans advices to the 10th instant. In
business generally no material change had occurred. The
sales of Cotton for the week amounted to 5,200 bales, and
were chiefly effected towards the close, when a decline of
fully half a cent. had been submitted to. Louisiana and
Mississipi are quoted at 10c. to 15c. No Alabama or
Tennessee of any consequence in the market. The receipts
generally continued of a good quality. Flour had been
bought up on speculation, and had been held at 20 dollars,
but receded to 14 dollars 50 cents. and 15 dollars, on re-
ceipt of supplies, which, however, were scarcely equal to
city consumption. Freights dull at 9-16 d. to Liverpool,
and the number of vessels increasing-73 in port, of which
14 only were loading. Exchange on England 10 to 11 ,
and on New York, at sight, to 1 per cent. premium.
Brandon and Arkansas money rather better, the former 40
and the latter at 10 to 12 per cent. discount. Texas
Treasury Notes 40 to 45 per cent. discount.
At Mobile the stock of Cotton continued very limited,
owing to the low stage of water in the river. There had
been a heavy rain, however on Wednesday, and supplies
would no doubt come in more freely. Stock, 3,923 bales.
Exchange on New York 3 to 4 per cent. premium.
