LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Pau. 27.

It is generally supposed that, notwithstanding the thaw which has
reigned uninterruptedly since our last report, it will be a week or ten
days before goods can be forwarded into the interior, via canal, and this
circumstance has tended to keep country dealers out of the market.
The arrivals since Friday are rather• limited in consequence of the wind
being unfavourable

In the absence of country purchasers, this morning's market wore a
very quiet appearance, and very little business was done in any article.
Oats were dull sale, and also Oatmeal. Flour was rather difficult to
part with, and the transactions in Wheat were few. Full prices, how-
ever, were ohtained for all things sold.

BATE.

On the inotion of Lord MAIDSTONE, the Order of the
Day for resuming the adjourned debate on the Broach of Pri-
♦ilege was then read.
Mr. PEND A EVE S had ventured to put himself forward on
the present occasion, to endeavour, if possible, to avert the evils
which were likely to arise from► tho debate of last night. He
hoped Honourable Members now in their cooler moments,
would see that it was far better not to go on with the
debate, which was likely to be protracted many nights ;
more especially when they saw Hon. Members starting up
night after night and avowing the same sentiments. The
people out of doors did not wish to see punishment inflicted
on those persons who had expressed opinions similar to those
of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin—they wished
rather that the Honse Would deal no further is the matter.—
( Loud cries of " No, no," from the Opposition benches, fol-
lowed by cheering from the Ministerial side of the House. )
It was with that view, very much unaccastomed to speak is
that House as he was, he ventured on this occasion to come
forward. There was now a Bill before the House for
the amendment of the Law of Elections, and he really
believed it would be very much more satisfactory to the
public if the House would proceed with the amendment of
this law rathe- than occupy further time on the subject. He
therefore begged to move, as an amendment to the
question ' now before the House, that the House,
taking into consideration that several Members of
that House had avowed their belief that the decisions
of Election Committees, sworn well and truly to try
the matters before them, were biassed by party interests and
questions; and, considering the late elections had been im-
pugned in the strongest terms by the public press—considering
moreover, that the house had ordered to be read a second
time a Bill to regulate the time of elections and returns of
Members to serve in Parliament—was content to proceed no
further in the said matter.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," from the
Opposition.)
Mr. CRE SSWELL wished shortly to state his reasons
for preferring the original motion to the amendment which
had just been proposed. He was the more anxious to
do that, because the Noble Lord, the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, had thought it hi:Twilit-1,-
in him last night to impute to lion. Members on
this (the Opposition) side of the House, that in
supporting the resolution submitted by the Noble Lord,

MR. EWART FOR MARYLEBONE.

To the EDITOR of the MORNING ADVERTISER.
Sia,—You, who have uniformly been a zealous advocate of
every question of practical reform, will be gratified to learn
that Mr. Ewart's canvass is going on most prosperously. The
Liberals in general merge all minor differences, and concen-
trate their energies in supporting Mr. Ewart. Partisanship
is lost in a feeling of patriotism. Lord Teignmouth's can-
vassers are resorting to that (fernier resort of baffled Toryism,
namely, an outcry against the Poor- law Amendment Act. In-
stead of relying on any intrinsic merits of their own, they
endeavour to acquire an adventitious importance by deprecat-
ing the pretensions of their opponents. Though Mr. Ewart
would not encourage idleness at the expense of industry, he,
nevertheless, would protect poverty from persecution. flow
intolerably mean in a Tory candidate to pander to vulgar pre-
judices for the sake of catching a few stray votes! What
must the Duke of Wellington, who is too magnanimous to
gain a point by sinister purposes, think of his subordinates ?
The Toi i2s have an inveterate hatred of Mr. Ewart, on
account of that gentleman's repeated exposes of the c,il3 of
primogeniture, which, after all, is the Parent of the Pension
List.

I know not any Gentleman more acceptable to all true
Reformers than Mr. Ewart, who possesses determination
without violence, and patriotism untinetured by partisanship.
He is an advocate for the unrestricted diffusion of knowledge
—a zealous supporter of of an extendod suffrage which would
give the people electoral power, and of the Ballot which woult.
protect them in the exercise of that power. All other mea-
sures tending to the public good have ever found in him a
zealous advocate. Should not, then, every man who values
that social privilege—the Elective Franchise—cordially sup-
port the candidate who has the inclination to servo the
people, and ability to give effect to that inclination ?
Who could hesitate in their choice between such a man
and an avowed Tcry—a name politically
,synonimous with
that of tyrant ?—I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

TAUNTON.

The Committee metthis day at twelve o'clock. The, Hon. It H.
CLIVE in the Chair.

Mr. BEAR and Mr. AUSTIN appeared for the petitioners ; Messrs.
COCKBURN and KINGIAKR for the sitting Member, Mr. Bainbridge.
Mr. Baia said he appeared in support of the allegation of the peti-
tion, and the Committee would perceive there were two distinct charges,
one was, that Mr. Bainbridge was not duly elected by a legal majority of
votes, and the other that there had been bribery and treating. The main
object would be to ascertain who had the majority of votes, the abject
being not so much to render Mr. Bainbridge's election void, as to claim
the scat on behalf of Mr. Robert Newton Lee. The election took place
on the 25th of July, and the numbers at the close of the poll were for
Afr. Labouchere, 469 ; for Mr. Bainbridge, 414 ; and for Mr. Lee,
409. In this majority of 5 would be found one man who had voted
twice, and one case of personation. Other objections were, that voter,
had ceased to be qualified that certain potwallopers had ceased to Inhabit
or received parochial relief--that parties had ceased to he qualified as
the time of registration, .te. ; and there were two or three cases of bri-
bery, four or five objections as to wagers, and two instances in which
votes had been tendered for Mr. Lee, which would be sought to be put
on the poll.
Dr. Woodford, one of the bailiffs, produced the poll-books and to;
gister of votes for 1836.
Thomas London, potwaller, East-street, No. 287, on the register, was
the first voter objected to. The Committee decidedthat the vote was
a good one, and that tha person who had a right to vote was Daniel
London.
James Billings, 59 on the register, was objected to, as having voted
twice. One of the votes was struck oft
John Sandsbury, 1061 on the register, was struck orlon the ground of
removal.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

The large arrivals of Sugar from both the East and West Indies,
cause purchasers to buy with caution : and the accounts that the crops
of Coffee are ♦ery good, and will be earlier than usual, have caused a
check to come over that commodity. To-day we quote B.P. as 2.5.
lower than last week. Ceylon is also 2s. cheaper than it was then. In
Foreign no variation. The stock of B.P. is 1,791 casks and 556 barrels
and lbags ; Ceylon 17,701 bags; Mocha 3,649 bales ; Brazil 33,95t1
bags. Sugar :—B.P sells slowly, but without being lower. The
stock now is 10,499 hogsheads and tierces, being 6,667 less than
it was at this time last year. The Raw Sugar Market is rather
cautiously entered just now by purchasers; and there is rather a con-
siderable quantity on the market. The tendency of prices appears to be
now to go back, for all kinds except foreign ; although when we left
the market quotations could not positively be given as lower to any ma-
terial extent. Rice we quote as 6d. per cwt. higher. Tea, Spices, Rum,
Cotton, and Indigo remain as before instanced. The imports of produce
are now on the increase. Canadian produce is little better than nominal.
For to-morrow exceedingly little business advertised.

REFUGE FOR THE HOUSELESS AND
THE ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL.

Acting, as we feel ourselves proud to do, as an advocate
for all that is useful to the working classes, and all that is hu-
mane to those v-ho cannot get work, and are destitute, and
wretched, we felt it to be our duty to make a personal exami-
nation of the refuge fur the Houseless, in the City of London,
Playhouse-court, Whiteeross-street. We found that the refuge
was a very large building, divided into six wards, the top one for
females—poor wretches who must otherwise perish in the
streets, having no place wherein to dwell, here receive
a night's lodging and food. When they apply, their names,
last residences, and employment, are taken down. They are
then provided with warm water and soap, and directed
to wash themselves ; after which half-a-pound of bread,
with water, is given to them ; they are then placed
on clean straw, divided by planks from each other, to
prevent contagion, in an apartment with a good fire
and well ventilated. In tho morning, when they rise, they
have a similar quantity of bread and water given to them, and
are discharged. On Sundays each individual receives three
po:.nds and a half of bread with three ounces of cheese, and
has the option of hearing the Church service and a sermon in
the morning from a clergyman, who is paid for officiating, and
in the afternoon from benevolent individuals, who gratuitously
volunteer their services. In this way, during the dreadful in-
clemency of the weather, from The 9th of January to the 14th
of February, up to which day our inquiries are extended, not
less than fourteen thousand eight hundred and fifty-four nights
lodgings had been thus provided, and 37,406 ration thus
distributed. Among the benevolent individuals who not only
gave their money, but their personal attention night after
night to this institution, Mr. Duncan Campbell ( who ought
to be called the second Howard), and the celebrated Dr.
Conquest, stand conspicuous. Their labours arc incessant,
and the scenes of woe they have to witness harrowing in the
extreme. Many cases occur, in the west end of the town
especially, among poor foreigners, whom the tyrants of
the Continent have driven to our shores, in order to
meet which a building has just been taken in South-
square, Westminster. As sickness and disease are frequently
the companions of poverty and destitution, an arrangement
has been made with the Committee of the " Royal Free
Hospital," and hundreds of cases have already been attended
to (sent from the " Houseless") by Mr. Gay, and the other
surgeons of that excellent establishment, which the wealthy
citizens of London have recently shewn a most praiseworthy
alacrity in supporting. To lessen human misery is an object
infinitely dearer to us than the squabbles of party for place,
and most glad shall we be if the publie notice we have taken
of these valuable institutions increase their funds or conduce
to their reputation.

to ESTABLISH at his Gallery and Office, a GENERAL RE,
GISTER for the TRANSFER of REAL PROPERTY of every
description, situate in any part of the United Kingdom, and of the

and attention, especially from the landed interest and wealthier
classes; the great object in view being to counteract and destroy
quackery, and to suppress those practices which are derogatory, by

tiality, and independence, calculated, it. is laped, to afford increased
faeilities to transactions at a considerable saving of expense of time
and trouble, and with perfect security to the public.

CHURCH REFORM.

HE THINGUMBOB, or Triple Mystery of
the Post Apostolic Church.
If the Members of the Church of England, who had considered
the question, were obliged to record on oath their opinion of " The
Three Witnesses, and the Three-One Witnesses" of 1 John, v. 7 ;
one thousand of them to one would unhesitatingly pronounce the
Thing a Forgery. Yet there stands the Thing, precisely as of
yore, in the authorised version—in the Church and State Edition—
of what ?of what ?of the Word of God !! ! 0, they are nice

ANALYSIS OF THE DIVISION ON

THE BALLOT.

To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE.
Stu,—Having taken the trouble to analyse the late divi-
sion on the Ballot, I beg to call your attention to the light
which that analysis throws on the position of the Government
towards its supporters.
Among the 200 supporters of the Ballot there was ono Tory,
Sir George Sinclair. The remaining 199 were Liberals, who
have invariably supported the present Government against the
Tories.

Among the 317 opponents there were not more than. 63
Whigs, including in that number about half a dozen gentle-
men who have been by no means invariable supporters
of the present Ministry. Of these 63, 18 were Mem-
bers of the Government ; leaving 45 or 39 Whigs to
back th 3 Ministry against 199 of their usual friends.
Thus, in opposing the Ballot, they were in ac-
cordance with, exclusive of their own number, abcut 1--6:h of
the Liberal party, at the head of which they stand ; and
counting their own number, about 1-sth. Is this a state of
things that ought to be ? that can last long ? A Govern-
ment opposing 5-6ths or 4_ sths of its own adherents, on the
question which those adherents regard 2 S one. of paramount
importance.
Of Liberals there were 73 absent ; of whom 15 aro in office.
I believe that I may fairly assume that 60 or 63, if not 70, of
these arc favourable to the Ballot, and stayed away from acci-
dent (which was peculiarly adverse to us), or from indisposition
to vote against the Government. Thus I believe that the num-
ber of the friends of the Ballot (allowing even that none who
voted against it were really favourable to it) stands at 260 or
270 to about 60 Whigs, who oppose it. This is the real divi-
sion of opinion among the Liberal party in the House of Com-
mons. It is just on any principle of party co-operation that
such a majority should yield to so small a minority ?
I wish also to call your attention to the fact, which is ob-
vious from this analysis, that the Ministry could, by declar-
ing for the Ballot, ensure its success in the House of Com-
mons. If the stanch Whigs in the House, almost all of
whom would go with the Ministry on this point, had voted
for instead of against the Ballot, we should have been within
three or four of an equality; or had the absent been allowed
to attend, we should have had a large. majority, even snros-
ing- some of the Whigs who voted against the Ballot to have
refused to vote for it.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
House of Commons, Friday, Feb. 16.

PI?OVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY-A BOOK OF

THOUGHTS AND ARGUMENTS.
BY .114RTIN F. TUPPEIt, XSQ•, M.A.
.Rickerby, London, 1838.

We have more doubts of the popularity of this work
than we have of its intrinsic value, or the high intellectual
abilities of its better than clever author. That Mr. Tup-
per is a man of much reading, great reflection, and high
moral principles, will readily be admitted by all who open his
book ; but we question whether the quaint form in which he
has embodied his proverbial philosophy will not greatly retard
its just appreciation by that numerous class of readers, who
must be excited or amused in order to be instructed. For
our own part we are admirers of a quaint style in all works
of this sort, nor have we any greater fault to find with the
volume before us than that it deals with some subjects
which have nothing whatever to do with proverbial wisdom
—as the mystery of the Trinity for example. Though
many of Mr. Tupper's finest passages will have little nor
velty, except in the mode of treatment, to such as are well
acquainted with the works of Erasmus, Bacon, Saavedra,
and Franklin, he has contributed enough to obtain for him
the credit of an original thinker, as well as a 'writer of
great promise. The book is divided into sections, and
written in hexameters, which, though quaint in appearance,
serve to fix the thoughts which it embodies more firmly in
the mind. The following beautifully impressive lesson of
true wisdom is taken at random from the section, headed
Anticipation :

" Thou halt seen many sorrows, tracel.stained pilgrim of the world ;
But that which hath pained thee most, bath been the looking for evil
And though calamities have crossed thee, and misery been heaped on thy

head,
Yet ills that never happened, have chiefly made thee wretched.
Verily, evils may be courted, may be wooed and woo by distrust;

For the wise Physician of our weal loveth not an unbelieving spirit,
And to those giveth he good, who rely on his hand for good:
And those leaveth he to evil, who fear, but trust him not.

Cease to anticipate misfortune; there are still many chances of escape :
But if it come, be courageous; face it, and conquer thy calamity.

There is not an enemy so stout, as to storm and take the fortress of the
mind,
Unless its infirmity turn traitor, and Fear unbar the gates."

To the wanting in charity for the political and religious
opinions of others the following observations forcibly ad-
dress themselves :

DELAY OF THE MAILS.

General PoA•office, Saturday, Feb. 17, 1838.
ONE O'CLoex.—ln consequence of the heavy fall end
drifting of the snow between Exeter and Falmouth, the mails
from the West of England, below Exeter, which were due
here yesterday and this day, have not arrived.
In Scotland, also, the interruption to the correspondence,
from the same cause, is very great.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall today.
MOSS V. LEIGH.

The arguments in this case, which have already occupied the Court
some days, were resumed to-day. The bill was filed by certain creditors
of a person named Leigh, who had formerly carried on the business of a
merchant at Liverpool. In the year 1811 Mr. Leigh was declared a
bankrupt, and the bill charged, that previous to the period of his
bankruptcy, and in anticipation of it, he had colluded with a
solicitor of the name of Orred, to defraud the creditors to the
extent of 8,000/. ; and that the derendant, Joseph Leigh, and
a person named Tate, who had been appointed assignees under
his estate, were cognisant of the fraud, but made no discovery of it to the
creditors. The bill then stated that the creditors had lately discovered
such fraud had been committed, and it prayed that the defendant Leigh,
and the representatives of Tate and Orred, who were both dead, might
be decreed to make good that sum of 8,0001 for the benefit of the
estate of the bankrupt. From the statements in the bill, it
appeared that the produce of two cargoes of ruin and sugar
bad been assigned to Orred, to cover, as it was alleged on his behalf,
certain advances made by him to Leigh. In answer to that, it was
charged in the bill that Orielbeing the attorney of Leigh, and without
character, heing engaged to defend him against many actions that had
been brought against him for debts due from him, must have known the
desperate state of his aff..irs, and that such an assignment could not
prevail against the just claims of the creditors under the bank.
ruptcy. On behalf of the defendant, it was urged that the whole of
these transactions took place before the bankruptcy, and at a time
when Leigh was in a state of perfect solvency ; that he had as many
actions pending" against others as had been brought against him ; that
the whole of the transactions had been submitted to a committee of the
creditors, of whom Mr. Moss, one of the plantiffs was one ; and that that
committee had pronounced them to be fair and honourable.
Mr. SwaxaroNa and Mr. WIGRAM appeared for the plaintiffs, and the
SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. WAKEFIELD, Mr. J. RusseLL, and Mr. Koa,
were counsel for the defendants.
The case had not concluded when we left.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 2.

BRAHMA V. STRATHMORE.
Mr. LOVATT moved ex parte under the 14th, 15th, and 18th
sections of the fst and 2d Victoria, c. 110, the Act fur abo-
lishing arrest on mesne preces, for an order that the shares of
Ebenezer Fernie, the receiver in this cause, in the British
Commercial Insurance Company, now standing in his name,
should be charged with payment to Messrs. Fleming and
Gibbon, and to Lady Glam►s, of certain sums of money, with
interest, which he had been ordered to pay them under orders
of this Court, unless within fourteen days he should show good
cause to the contrary; but, nevertheless, that the Company
in the meantime should be restrained from permitting a trans•
fer of the shares until the order nisi should be discharged,
made absolute, or varied. This was the first application under
the Act to a Court of Equity.
His HoNourt, after referring to the Act, made the order to
show cause.

COURT OF QUEEN'S _BENCH, Nov. 2.
ACT FOR THE ABOLITION OF IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
WALLACE V. HARMER.

. _
Mr. WIGHTMAN applied for a rule for an attachment against
the Sheriff, for not bringing in the body. He should not have
troubled their Lordships with this application, which, under
ordinary circumstances, would have been granted as a matter
of course, but that Mr. Justice Littledale, before whom be
bad at first made the application, had doubted whether the
recent Act for the abolition of imprisonment for debt had not
in effect put an end to any proceedings of this sort. His Lord-
ship had therefore desired that the application might be made
to the full Court. The Learned Counsel added that the Court
of Common Pleas had in several instances, this morning,
granted the application.
The COURT granted the application.
Mr. Knowles, Mr. Hodges, and other gentlemen, then
made similar applications, and obtained rules under the like
circumstances.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
HUNTLEY V. NULWER AND OTHERS.

This was an action brought by an attorney against the pa-
rish officers of a parish in West Kent, for the costs of prose-
cuting at the sessions an appeal against an order of removal.
The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice after last
term, when a nonsuit was entered, leave, however, being re-
served to move to enter the verdict for the plaintiff: The an-
swer to the action was, that the proceedings had been useless,
owing to the plaintiff's negligence, and the alleged negligence
consisted chiefly in entering the appeal for the sessions at Can-
terbury, instead of Maidstone, and in not giving sufficient no-
tice of the objections.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE to-day moved for a rule to show cause
why the nonsuit should not be set aside, and a verdict entered
for the plaintiff on all the issues. The Court granted a rule
to show cause.
