SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 18th bring no political
news. The Gazette contains a royal decree, ordering the
establishment of baths and wa.shhouses for the poor at
Madrid. Queen Christina is to accompany the Queen
to La Granja, but after a few days' stay in that place is
to proceed to Saint Sebastian, to meet the Duke of
Rianzares, on his return to Spain.

SOUTH SEA COMPANY.-At the special meeting of the
South Sea Company held yesterday to consider the
course to be adopted in connection with the conversion
plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the
capital stock of the company, amounting to 3,600,0001.,
the Sub• Governor (Mr. C. Franks) stated that since the
meeting on the 26th ult., when the proprietors decided
to receive payment for the 405,0001. South Sea An-
nuities part of their property, no new light had come
to the aid of the board, and they therefore desired to
leave the question of dealing with the capital stock
of the company, as they had done in the case of
the annuities, in the discretion of the Court. It
was evidently the feeling of the whole of the pro-
prietors that the sole alternative was to take the
money, and, in accordance with the suggestion of
the Sub-Governor, the following resolution was unani-
mously carried :—" That the South Sea Company adopt
the same course regarding their capital stock as they
agreed to at the special general meeting on the 26th of
May last regarding the South Sea Annuities held by
the company." After the meeting the quotation of
South Sea Stock was 114 to 116, ex div. Under the
decision the proportion of the 9,500,0001. petty 3 per
cent. stocks proposed to be converted by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, but now requiring to be paid off in
January and April next, will be about 8,200,0001. At
present prices the parties refusing to accept the new
stocks have taken the most advantageous resolution ;
but, if political affairs should meanwhile resume an un-
disturbed course, there is every reason to anticipate
that the Government will be able to provide the neces-
sary sum upon terms fully as favourable as those
originally contemplated.

THE SULTRY WEATHER AND L. HYAM'S DRESS.
THE sun has begun to shine forth with his
Jl accustomed summer strength, and the oppressive heat of the
weather is daily felt and talked of. Cumbersome clothing should
now be completely thrown aside for dress of a completely opposite
character.
Summer Lounging Coats, fine, flexible, and light in texture, and
loose and airy in design and make, are manufactured by L. HYAM,
in a style which must command complete satisfaction.
The summer Trousers of L. Hyant, in a manifold variety of plain
and fancy fabrics, and a novel and rich assortment of seasonable
Vests, are also worthy of prominent reference, as being peculiarly
adapted to the present season.
The Dress Coats and Frock Coats 'do the Proprietor's Establish-
ment an equal amount of credit, and are strongly recommended to
purchasers.

MARKET N_EWS-(TITIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

During the present week, the arrivals of English wheat
up to our market coastwise, have amounted to 2,810 quar-
ters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent. Fresh up to-
day the receipts were limited, and the show of samples
was trifling. The demand, however, was somewhat inac-
tive, at about Monday's prices. For forward delivery next
to nothing was doing.
The imports of foreign wheat have been only 6,250
quarters. Good red Baltic parcels were in moderate re-
quest, at full quotations. In other kinds very little was
doing on former terms. Floating cargoes were dull, yet
scarcely any change took place in prices.
Wo were very scantily supplied with all kinds of barley,
which moved off steadily at very full prices.
Mc sale for malt was firm, at fully last month's quota-
tions.
The oat trade ruled steady, and in some instances Mon-
day's currency was rather exceeded.
Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, at late rates.

SMITHFIELD.

The supply of beasts in to-day's markets was tolerably
extensive, but rather deficient in quality. For all breeds
we hal a steady, though by no means active, inquiry, at
Monday's prices. The primest Scots were worth 4s Gd per
81bs. Although the numbers of sheep were on the increase,
the sale for that description of stock was brisk, at full
quotations. The primest old Downs realised 4s 10d per
Sibs. There was a steady demand for lambs, at fully the
late advance. Prices ranged from 5s to Gs 4d per 81bs.
The veal trade was firm, on former terms. Pigs were un-
altered in value.

Mulch cows changed hands steadily, at from 151. to 191
each, including their small calf.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The market presents a firmer appearance for
colonial, and supply has been moderate, with an increasing
home trade demand. To-day West India Sugar was in
active request and stiffer rates were obtained for both gro-
cery and refining sorts.
REFINED.--To-day prices are not better for Refined
Sugar, still large purchases were made by home dealers ;
brown lumps at 455, and low to fine grocery 45s 6d to 48s
per cwt. Crushed met with little notice for export and
can be easily obtained at previous terms.
EAST INDIA.—To-day there were ready buyers of Ben-
gal sugar, and at auction 2,500 bags sold at very full
terms ; fine white Benares at 38s to 38s 6d ; low to good
36s to 37s 6d ; and date 30s to 34s 6d. Of Madras 577
baws went at a small advance ; low and mid. soft yellow
at 30s to 31. Privately several parcels of Bengal and Ma-
dras were sold.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was plentifully
supplied with plantation Ceylon. The quantity offered at
auction amounted to 500 casks, 1,200 bags, and 180 barrels.
There was a reluctance to operate, and not above one-half
sold at rather lower rates.
TEA.—In the early part of the week there was a reluc-
tance to operate, and of 18,000 pkgs offered at auction on
Tuesday, the small proportion of only 2,700 found buyers
at rather lower rates for green, of which nearly the whole
consisted. A parcel of common Congou went at 11d. per lb.
for cash. The teas bought in were at stiff prices. Since then
the market has assumed a brisker appearance, yet no rise
has been produced, there being a plentiful supply of both
black and green. At all the ports clearances of tea for
home consumption have this season been 20,322,856 lbs.,
against 20,048,775 in the previous one, and in stock there
is now little difference. Exports from China are 4,500,000
lbs greater than in the former year. Stocks of tea here
amount to 43,215,000, and at the same date last season
44,055,020 at all the ports they are 60,797,000, and
66,200,000 in 1852.
TALLOW.—The market for Russian has been animated
during the week, and there is an advance of is 9d to 2s
per ewt. Extensive purchases have been made, the latest
rates paid for fine yellow candle on the spot were 49s 6d to
49s 9d, 49s 94 to 50s for delivery in last three months of
the year.

for the purpose of coming to an agreement with
the Royal Government on the subject.

without discussion by the Prussian Chambers.
The German Journal of Frankfort contains a
letter from Munich of the 24th, which says :
"It is again said that Prince Albert, who is to

Spanish princess. It is, added that the King of
Bavaria, in returning from Italy, will pass by

A letter from Berlin of April 25, in the Cologne

Government, in its recent note to the Federal
Council,'has formally declared that it has not re-
cognised as legal the organisation of Switzerland
such as it existed before the Sunderbund."
The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies gives
an account of the spontaneous rejoicings which
took place at Palermo on the Ist, on receiv-
ing the intelligence that the King had pardoned M.
Castiglia, and commuted the punishments of the
other three persons convicted of conspiracy against
the State. It states that the Via Toledo was illu-
minated, and that on the following night the house
of M. Castiglia, besides being illuminated, was
decorated with a gilt canopy, under which stood
the busts of the King and Queen, with the follow-
ing inscription :—" To the sovereign clemency of
King Ferdinand 11., the gratitude of an entire
city."

bill,
Mr. CRATJFURD said that at that hour (12 o'clock) it
was too late to discuss the measure, and he was anxious to
move the resolution of which he had given notice : " That
in the opinion of this house, no measure of Sheriff Court
reform will be satisfactory to the country which does not
proceed on the principle of abolishing the present system
of double sheriffs." He was the more desirous to move
the resolution, as he had been informed the Government
were going to send the bill to a committee upstairs.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the proper time for the
resolution would be when the bill came down in an ap-
proved shape from the select committee,
After a brief conversation. in the course of which Mr.
COWAN complained that Scotch business was always
thrown over till 12 to 1 o'clock in the morning, and the
LORD ADVOCATE stated that the bill was approved of by
a large majority of the people of Scotland ; and explained
that the present proposition was that it should be referred
to a select committee.

The bill was referred to a select committee.
COUNTY ELECTIONS POLLS (SCOTLAND) BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed, after some
conversation originated by Mr. Forbes Mackenzie with re-
ference to the giving publicity to the places for polling,
which he urged would be better effected by the insertion
of advertisements in the North British Advertiser than in
the Edinburgh Gazette.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of.

Mr. TUFNELL obtainedleave—tobriTUg M a bill to ex-

WEIGHTS IN THE SALE OF BULLION.
Mr. WILSON obtained leave to bring in a bill for regu-
lating the weights used in the sales of bullion, the object
of which he proposed to state on the second reading.
The house then adjourned at 20 minutes to one o'clock.
