PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

(From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of COlll7liO7lS.
FRIDAY, MAY 18.
STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE.
- -

The. following Resolution was reported from the above
Committee :
That in the case of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway
(Extension of Ashton Branch, Clifton Branch, &c.,) petition
for additional Provision, the standing orders ought to be
dispensed with :—That the parties be permitted to introduce
their additional Provision if the Committee on the Bill shall
think fit.—Resolution agreed to.

Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert intend honouring the German Opera
company at Drury-lane Theatre with their presence
this evening. Flotow's opera Stradella will be per-
formed by desire.

We understand that the gentleman who was foremost
in his endeavour to take summary vengeance upon the
miscreant who attacked our beloved Queen on Saturday,
was Mr. B. B. Williams, of Westbourne-terrace, Hyde
Park-gardens, and who would most undoubtedly have
carried his intention into lull effect, but for the inter-
ference of Maj'r General Wemyss and the police.
There has been a very heavy market for the Public Se-
curities, and the prices have further declined upon Satur-
day's range, being 901 to 91 for present Transfer and
Account. The sales for money, however, have been
wholly unimportant, and the speculative dealings are
likewise of no consideration. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 94 to 3, and the Three
per Cents. 89 ?2-. Bank Stock is worth 195. Exche-
quer-bills have been 445. to 47;:., and India Bonds 68s. to
70s. premium.
In the Foreign Market there is a certain flatness also,
in consequence of the dulness of the English Fund,,
but there is very little doing. Mexican Bonds are 31*
to t; Brazilian, 771; Grenada Deferred, 3h-; and Buenos
Ayres, 374. Duwn Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 484 to 49.
Railway Shares have been rather flatter again, with
a moderate business doing. The English lines are all
lower, but the French are particularly affected.

MARKET NEWS._ (THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Extremely small supplies of all kinds of English
Grain, as well as Flour, were received up to our market
last week, coastwise and by land carriage. From Ire-
land and Scotland the arrivals were unusually limited,
they being chiefly confined to a few quarters of Oats.
The foreign imports were again seasonably extensive—
viz,, 18,774 quarters of Wheat, 1,352 ditto of Barley,
8.725 ditto of Oats, 490 ditto of Rye, 78 ditto of Peas,
99 ditto of Rspeseed, 216 ditto of sundry Seeds. B,Bos
sacks and 912 barrels of Flour. As the Danish ques
tion is still unsettled, a falling off in the receipts of
Grain is expected from the Baltic; but those from the
near Continental ports will, doubtless, continue good.
Offers still continue to arrive from France and Belgium
to ship Wheat and Flour at very low prices.
.The ac-
counts received up this morning from our own agricultural
districts state that the crops are progressing rapidly.
The quantity of English Mkeat received fresh up for this
morning's market, from Essex, was somewhat on the in-
crease; but that from Kent, Cambridgeshire, Sac., was
very small, though of fair average quality. Notwith
standing that the show of samples of both red and white
was trifling for the time ot year, the demand for all
kinds ot Wheat of home produce was in a very inactive
state. Selected parcels were, in some instances, disposed
of at about stationary prices; but those of the middling
and inferior sorts declined is. per quarter, and a clear-
ance was with difficulty effected. The above tall is to be
chiefly attributed to the prevailing fine weather for
the growing Wheats, and the heavy pressure of
foreign Flour on the market, with every pros-
pect of large future imports from France. Since
the returns were made up last week several car-
goes of foreign Wheat have been reported. The supply
of that grain on oiler to-day was tolerably extensive. As
the millers ar.d other, operated with considerable caution,
the sale for foreign Wheat was heavy, and where sales
were forced, the quotations gave way Is per quarter.
This observation applies more particularly to the mid-
dling descriptions. Scarcely any English Barley was on
show, and the supply of foreign was limited. We had ,
