DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING.—The Royal Speech has
met with a sorry reception at the hands of the Dublin
journals. The organs of both parties are more than
usually bitter upon the contents of the document, Land
the liepealers are furious at the contemplated continua-
tion of the Suspension Act.
A return published this evening gives the following
as the amount of bread-stuffs imported into
Dublin on the Ist of February-17,730 quarters,
1,000 barrels, 2,378 sacks wheat; 1,236 sacks, 1,763
barrels flour; 4,398 sacks Indian corn; 1,426 quarters
barley; 150 barrels of bread; 44 quarters peas. Tak.n
out of store-22,796 quarters wheat; 4,167 saeks, 3,972
cwts. of flour; 2,543 quarters, 1,520 barrels of barley,
Notwithstanding this formidable array of figures, there
was a firm demand for all descriptions of grain at the
Corn Exchange to-day; wheat at an improvement of 6d.
to ls,, and oats at 3d. to 6d, Barley supported the cur-
reeey of Tuesday.
The weather has become beautifully fine.

THE LATE SIR GUY CAMPBEL.—The remains
of the late Major-General Sir Guy Campbell were interred
on Thursday with full military honours, in the cemetery at
the rear of the Royal Barracks. The ceremony was a most
imposing one. All the troops in garrison, together with the
Horse Brigade of Artillery, and six light guns, attended.
The rain fell in torrents throughout the day, causing woful
damage to the splendid uniforms and equipments of the
cavalry officers, all of whom appeared in review order.

SERIOUS CAB ACCIDENT IN THE STRAND.—Last
night, about half-past 7 o'clock, a serious accident occurred in
the Strand. A cab horse, which had been waiting at the en-
trance to Somerset-house, having taken fright, dashed along
the pavement at a furious rate. The driver was on the box,
but the reins having been broken, he was unable to arrest
the progress of the animal. The vehicle came violently in
contact with the iron fencing of the Globe newspaper-office
front, destroying a portion of the glass, and damaging the
grating which protects the top of the. machine-room.
The cab then struck a youth, who was standing near
the spot, and passed over his person ; when taken
up, ha was found to be bleeding and insensible,
and was conveyed to the Charing-cross Hospital.
The cab, after flying by The Sun office, ran against the shop
front of Mr. Stammers, the jeweller and silversmith, destroy-
ing the sashes and glass, and scattering the valuable contents
of the window in all directions. The property, however, was
subsequently recovered without loss. A woman was here
thrown down and much injured, and a little further on the
cab was turned over by coming in contact with a lamp-post.
The severity of the concussion drove one of the shafts into
the animal's breast, inflicting most frightful gashes and
laceration upon its shoulders, and the horse, which was a
fine spirited animal, being thus rendered useless, was con-
veyed to a knacker's and speedily placed out of its miseries.
SALE OF THE STOWE LIBRARY.-011 Thursday
this sale was continued. The first lot deserving attention
was a curious and scarce tract, called " A Conference about
the Next Succession to the Crown of England." This tract,
although bearing the name of "Father Parsons" as the
author, is supposed to have been written by Cardinal Allen,
Sir T. Englefield, and Father Parsons, the Jesuit. The
printer of It was hanged, drawn, and quartered; and it was
enacted by the 35th of Elizabeth, that whoever should have
this book in the house should be condemned as guilty of
high treason —it sold for 8/. 2s. Gd. A fine copy of the
complete works of Thomas Pennant, in 26 volumes, sold for
33/. 10s. Philosophical 'Transactions of the Royal Society
of London, from the commencement, in 1665, to 1816, in
105 vols., sold for 461. A most splendid copy of the works
of the brothers Piranesi, on Roman antiquities, architecture,
and classical ornaments, consisting of several hundred plates
of the buildings, &c., in and near Rome, bound in 14
volumes sold for 1331., Mr. Murray being the purchaser for
the 13eaufoy Library. The only other lots worth brief
notice were come old plays of early English dramatists,
which sold well. The day's sale produced the sum of
466/. 14s. Gd.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. QUARTER To THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been freely
supplied, but prices have hardened.. Sales, 67,350 bales;
stock, 415,530 b:.les.—Railway Shares were rather quiet at
the outport yesterday. •
The changes in *the financial position of the Bank of Eng-
land during the week to the 27th ult. were not material.
The active circulation was but slightly increased, and the
employment of the funds of the Corporation has been upon
Government securities rather than upon bills. The compa-
rison with the previous week's return is as follows :

n a report upon the Manchester trade, received to-day
:rom lessrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, we have the
following cheerful view taken :—"lt is a long time since
we witnessed transactions to such an extent in the
month of January as those which have taken
place during the present. Happily, no fresh inju-
rious influences, arising from political disorders abroad,
have been in existence to mar the progress of improvement. '
Unhappily, however, the enhanced value of the raw mate-
rial has denied to a certain class of spinners and manu-
facturers—the former especially, who are producers of what
'are termed low numbers—any valuable participation in
the advantages resulting from this altered state of things.
With this exception, the change for the better is decided
and perceptible on 11 hands. All the operatives able and
willing to work can readily find employment, and manufac-
turing property is gradually improving in value. We are
happy to find from our friends in the woollen and other
manufacturing districts that, with but few exceptions, a
pretty similar state of things prevails."
Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury report favourably of the
Indigo and Colonial trades in London.
At Amsterdam on Thursday the Bourse was animated.
A meeting of Spanish bondholders is convened for Tuesday
next, when it is probable that efforts will be made to form
a Committee. The Government at Madrid is engaged in
revising the tariff of duties, and there seem to be better
prospects for the creditors.
The East India Railway question is still under considera-
tion in Leadenhall-street.
The English Stock Market has rallied to-day, and might
probably have gone higher but for a little stock being sold
tor transfer next week. Consols have been 91i to
for Money and Account, and are now 91% 1/2. Exchequer-
bills have been 395. to 495. prem., according to date. New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 9214 1/2. The majority
for Ministers last night has given a tone to the Funds.
The Foreign Securities are very quiet. Mexican 2515/8
Spanish Five per Cents. 15 to lA. Dutch Two-and-a-half
per Cents. nominally 48',4 to 49%.
Shares are rather in favour of buyers again, but with a
Fair business doing.
