LORD RAGLAN.—The day after the battle of Water-
loo, at which Lord Raglan (then Fitzroy Somerset) lost
his right arm, the Duke of Wellington wrote to the
Duke of Beaufort—" You are aware how useful he
(Lord Fitzroy) has always been to me, and how I shall
feel the want of his assistance, and what a regard and
affection I feel for him. I hope, however, that your
brother will soon be able to join me again, and that he
will long live to be, as he is likely to become, an honour
to his country, as he is a satisfaction to his family and
friends." As Commander-in-chief of the Eastern expe-
dition against Russia, Lord Raglan, WO trust, Will realble
L this encomiastic prediction.

THE 19rn REGIMENT.

The most active measures are being adopted at the
Tower to complete this regiment for service in the East.
A very large number of men who had volunteered from
the depot companies of the 22d, 25th, 27th, 37th, 67th,
and 85th arrived yesterday, and, having undergone
a most minute inspection, were at once incorpo-
rated with the regiment, and received with deaf-
ening cheers by their new comrades. The men who
are to compose the depot companies, principally those
whose periods of service are nearly expired, were told off
yesterday morning, and will march to Deal in a day or two
and be quartered in South Barracks. At the evening roll-
call the regiment mustered 963 strong, leaving a defi-
ciency of only 37 bayonets to complete the war establish-
ment, and it is fully expected that this number will be
made up during to-day. To show the zeal of the offi-
cers and non-commissioned officers in augmenting the
19th to the number required (1,080 rank and file), it is
only necessary to state that on the arrival of the regi-
ment three weeks since in the Tower it was not quite
550 strong, so that nearly 450 men have been raised
during that short time. It is believed that this corps
will march from the Tower on Tuesday next for South-
ampton, in order to be in readiness to embark when
called upon. The Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade,
recently returned from the Cape of Good Hope, and at
present quartered at Dover, will garrison the Tower.

PETITIONS.

Sir F. THESIGER presented two petitions against
the Oaths Bill.

Several petitions were presented against the opening
of public houses on Sunday.

IRISH PRISONS.
Mr. FRENCH asked the Secretary for Ireland, whe-
ther a commission was appointed to examine and report
on the state of the Government Prisons and Convict
Depots in Ireland ; whether it has made any report; and
by what authority it was appointed ; further, whether
such commission was superseded, and another commis-
sion appointed by the Home Secretary ; and whether
there is any intention on the part of Government of
transferring the superintendence of these Government
prisons and convict depots from the Irish authorities to
those in England.

Sir J. YOUNG said a commission had been appointed
to examine and report on the state of the convict prisons
in Ireland, but the commission had not yet made any
report, with regard to the last question the right hon.
baronet's answer was in the negative.
SUCCESSION TO REAL ESTATES BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Sir J. PAKINGTON said it behoved the house to
pause before they adopted the democratic principle of
the bill, it was a most unwise principle, and utterly at
variance with the spirit of the constitution. But the
operation of the bill would be highly unjust if it were
carried, for, according to the provisions of the measure,
if the owner of a real estate died suddenly and intestate,
the law would step in and divide his property, in a
manner which might be wholly at variance with his
wishes, and was

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE MORRIS.
This bankrupt was described as of Sohan, Cambridge-
shire, ironmonger, gas manufacturer, &c., and to-day
was appointed for his last examination.

The accounts made out by Messrs. Robinson and
Knowles were of a very complicated nature, as he bad
carried on trade at several places, solely and in partner-
ship—he was proprietor and Manager of the Sohan Gas
works, and was agent and manager at Ely, Sohan,
March, Chatteris, and Newmarket, for Messrs. Harvey
and Hudson, bankers, Norwich.
The balance-sheet extends from the Ist. Jan., 1851,
to October, 1853, and shows debtor to creditors un-
secured,', 1,4081. 2s. 7d. ; to Hugh Evans (holding se-
curity on the Gas Works), 2001. ; to Henry Beatley,
3491. 3s. 10d. ; liabilities as a partner with Henry
Beatley, 3,1801. 6s. 3d. ; profits, 1,676/. 16s. 2d. ;
creditor by good debts, 212/. ; property, 6771. 13s. 3d ;
losses, 1,1551. 14s. 11d. ; bank agency expenses,
5671. 19s. 3d. ; trade expenses, 3741. 12s. ; personal,
8031. The bank agency was terminated i❑ September,
1853, the bankrupt receiving 3001. by way of compen-
sation, on undertaking not to join any other bank within
thirty miles of Ely.
An application was made for a short adjournment
for the convenience of counsel, which was granted.
London, England, 1854-03-08

IPSWICH-MARCH 7.

Although rather an increased supply of wheat as com-
pared with last week was offered for sale, prices ruled the
same, and a firmness in the trade was evinced. Barley
was much shown about. As the maltsters are leaving off
steeping, finding there is no bale for malt, the only buyers
of barley were those who had a commission for London
maltsters. Beans and peas much improved in condition,
and late prices maintained.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
The Royal mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Har-
rison, arrived in the Mersey about noon this day,
with the usual mails from the United States and
British North America.
The Africa, having been got off the bank where
she went on shore, has arrived from New York
with 75 passengers and a small mail. The main
portion being sent by the America from Boston,
which sailed four hours before the Africa.
Business has much improved in New York since
the departure of the last steamer. Money very
easy. Stock buoyant and advancing.
The market for breadstuffs was dull and declin-
ing, anxiously waiting for further news from Eng-
land, and rather flat, caused by the rise in freight.
There was an average business in the cotton
market at former prices.
The provision market very dull and unsteady.
The shipowners were asking the following prices
for freight to Liverpool :—Grain, 18d. to 20d. per
bushel.
Exchange on London dull, 108, to 1081 ; on
Paris, 5 15 to 5 171.
We have just heard that the America is off tho
port.

PRICES OF COMMISSIONS IN THE BRITISH Anmy.—
Now that our expeditionary military force is on its pas-
sage to Malta and Constantinople, to co-operate with
that of France, in supporting the integrity of the Otto-
man Empire, against the unjust aggression of the Mus-
covite troops of the ambitious Czar of Russia, the fol-
lowing rates of the price of commissions in the British
army may not be uninteresting :—Life Guards—Lieu-
tenant-Colonel, 7,2501. ; Major, 5,350/. ; Captain,
3,5001. Lieutenant, 1,7851. ; and Cornet, 1,260/.
THE COASTING TRADE.—FOREIGN SHIPS.—The COM-
missioners of Customs have issued directions to the
principal officers at the several ports throughout the
United -Kingdom to prepare and transmit to the Regis-
trar-General of Shipping, with the utmost despatch, the
following return, so far as relates to their respective
ports, viz., a return of the tonnage of foreign veJsels
cleared in ballast at each of tho principal and other

Kingdom in the year 1853.

TESTIMONIAL TO COL. ASPINWALL.

The following address from the leading London firms
engaged in large financial or commercial transactions
with the United States has been presented, together
with a service of plate, together with a service of plate,
to Colonel Aspinwall, by whom the office of American
Consul in London has been honourably filled for thirty-
seven years, and who is now returning to his country.
In his reply Colonel Aspinwall took the opportunity of
testifying that in the long period of his duties he has
never known a well authenticated case of distress for
the relief of which he has not instantly had ample co-
operation from the London merchants in the American
trade, and he accepts their parting tribute to his course
as another addition to the many daily proofs of the
mutual esteem and respect subsisting between the two
kindred nations :

" Dear Sir,—Having been informed that you are about
to return to your native country, we cannot allow you
to depart without offering you the expression of our sin-
cere esteem and regard, and we avail ourselves of the
occasion to tender you our best thanks for your uniform
courtesy and kindness in all our intercourse with you
during the long period in which you have filled the im-
portant post of Consul-General of the United States in
this city. You have administered the arduous duties of
your office with dignity, ability, and integrity unim-
peached ; you have lent a willing and patient attention to
appeals for relief in all cases of distress, granting freely
your counsel and your money, inviting others to aid you
when needful. Wishing to mark our sense of your
merits, and of the efficiency with which you have dis-
charged your duties, by some lasting memorial, we re-
quest your acceptance of a service of plate, and permit
us at the same time to offer our best wishes for the future
health and happiness of yourself and of your family.

DENMARK AND SWEDEN.

It is said that in reply to the declaration of the
Russian Government that it could not accept or re-
cognise the announcement of a policy of neutrality
on the part of Sweden, the Swedish Government
replied that they can make no change in that policy,
and are prepared to defend it—and have com-
menced defensive preparations accordingly, The
Russian Government' has re-opened negotiations,
which are still pending but without prospect of
any altered result, as ;he Governments of Swe-
den and Denmark are entirely decided and united
in policy. Should the Russians not recognise
their neutrality, it is believed that they will at
once join the alliance of the Western Powers. The
whole spirit of the northern populations, that of
Norway included, is strongly opposed to Russia,
and in favour of 'England and France.

ST. PETERSBURG.—The letters from St. Petersburg are
to the 27th ult., and confirm the report of the prohibition
of the export of grain. It seems, however, that vessels at
Odessa loaded or loading will be allowed to leave with
their cargoes. The other political news indicates extensive
preparations for war, and great reports are still circu-
lated of patriotic contributions from individuals.
BILL STAMPS.—The alteration proposed by the Chan.
cellor of the Fxchequer with regard to bill-stamps--
namely, the substitution of an ad valorem scale at the
rate of 3d. for 251. in place of the present rates, prohi-
bitory on small bills and light on large ones, has long
been desired by the great mass of traders. They
have looked for it, however, with little hope, owing
to the small probability of its being recommended or
countenanced by the great houses likely to be con-
sulted on the matter, to whom the existing system
gave a sort of monopoly of the money-market.
Under these circumstances, therefore, the introduction
of the measure is regarded with great satisfaction, as an
act in which the interests of the public at large have
alone been consulted. At the same time, the advantage
to the commercial world generally, from the simplicity
of the new scale, and the introduction of adhesive in
place of die stamps, will be exceedingly great, not only
by removing all inconvenience din procuring them, but
also by preventing the mistakes constantly occurring
from the use of stamps of wrong amount.
TIIE NEW BUILDINGS IN BROAD-STREET.—The build.
ings now going up with great rapidity on the site of the
Excise-office are for chambers. These are being erected
under the superintendence of Mr. Tite and Mr. E. N.
Clifton, by Messrs. Piper. They will all be fire-proof. A
small steam-engine has- been set to work to mix the
mortar and to grind the mortar and rubbish of the old
brickwork to make the new mortar. The site is about
one acre and a quarter, and was bought by ten gentle-
men, who are erecting the buildings in question, for
108,2001. The buildings themselves will oed, perhaps,

THE 191 s REGIMENT.

The most active measures are being adopted at the
Tower to complete this regiment for service in the East.
A very large number of men who had volunteered from
the depot companies of the 22d, 25th, 27th, 37th, 67th,
and 85th arrived yesterday, and, having undergone
a most minute inspection, were at once incorpo-
rated with the regiment, and received with deaf-
ening cheers by their new comrades. The men who
are to compose the depot companies, principally those
whose periods of service are nearly expired, were told off
yesterday morning, and will march to Deal in a day or two
and be quartered in South Barracks. At the evening roll-
call the regiment mustered 963 strong, leaving a defi-
ciency of only 37 bayonets to complete the war establish-
ment, and it is fully expected that this number will be
made up during to-day. To show the zeal of the offi-
cers and non-commissioned officers in augmenting the
19th to the number required (1,080 rank and file), it is
only necessary to state that on the arrival of the regi-
ment three weeks since in the Tower it was not quite
550 strong, so that nearly 450 men have been raised
during that short time. It is believed that this oorps
will march from the Tower on Tuesday next for South-
ampton, in order to be in readiness to embark when
called upon. The Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade,
recently returned from the Cape of Good Hope, and at
present quartered at Dover, will garrison the Tower.
