lii li Aliinieipal Corporations Bill. Upon the first report
Cothtnitteo..bcing laid on the table, Earl
Fitzwilliam, in the course ol 6'14/4Vai6o7 upon the subject,
said that some uniform system for the regtitatiqi If
ought to be devised: otnetT:ise, it would hereafter be tOtitla
that lines of railroad,: bad been carried into effect which
would turn out as not thily trct tire best,. but that they
would prO7d impediments in the ovaiif furthel improve-
ments in such ling. The London Grand tiUnciiov
way was passed. The Church Discipline Bill fe't-itl
second time. The Entails Relief (Fjmtland) all and tin:,
Waste Lands Cultivation (Ireland) Bill were severally
passed. A discussion ensued on the Universities
land) Bill. The Bill was committed pro forma. Tirc
Tithes Commutation Bill, brought up from the Commons,
was read a first time, and the second reading was fixed
for to-morrow se'nnight.
In the COMMONS, Mr. Tooke presented a petition, signed
by the Mayor and between four and five hundred of the
principal inhabitants of Truro, praying the entire abolition
of Church-rates. Three petitions from Van Diemen's Land
were presented ; one from Mr. Bryan, complaining of op-
pression on the part of the Executive there ; the other two
related to the fine and imprisonment of Mr. Melville, for
an alleged libel. Sir G. Grey stated that on inquiry, both
the fine and imprisonment had been remitted. A petition was
presented from Mayo, praying for the abolition of tithes. Lod
J. Russell obtained leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the
abolition or removal of personal tithe. A lively discussion
ensued on a petition from an itinerant minstrel, who com-
plained that while singing in the streets he had been ar-
rested. The Registration of Births Bill was then passed.
On the motion of Lord J. Russell the Marriages Bill was
also passed. On this, as well as on the Births Bill, amend-
ments moved by Mr. Goulburn were negatived by large
majorities, as was also Earl Lincoln's motion that the Mar-
riages Bill be read a third time this day six months. Some
despatches of Lord Aylmer from Canada were then or-
dered, after which the House adjourned.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are a French Mail, and ship let-
ters from Demerara, and New York, by the Montreal, arrived
off Portsmouth, of an old date.
By the express from Paris this morning letters have been
received from Saragossa, stating that the forces of Quelez and
Cabrera, in Lower Arragon, and in the province of Valencia,
amounts to nineteen battalions of infantry, well organized,
with a numerous cavalry. The terror which Cabrera causes is
such that all the commanders of the towns of the second order
have left them, and gone to the fortresses of the first rate.
Consols may be quoted at the leaving off prices of yesterday,
924 for the Account; and Reduced 91i—little or nothing
doing as yet. Exchequer Bills, 11 13; India Bonds, 1 disc.
1 prem. ; Bank Stock, 2093 210 ; India Stock for Account,

In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds continue heavy at

Three per Cents., 54; Colombian 304 4; Mexican, 34 35;
Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents., 564 574.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We have a dead calm in the City for intelligence up to the
present hour—not even a report in circulation ; and it is the
same with the Funds ; not a feature in either markets worth
observation.

Consols have been during the morning at 921 for the Ac-
count. Exchequer Bills, 11 13 ; India Bonds, 1 discount,
par ; Bank Stock, 2091 210.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active, which opened at
41+ /, went up to 411 at which price they are at present,
owing to accounts being received from Paris that the Carlists
were deserting in great numbers to the army of Gen. Cor-
dova. A suspicion prevails that some kind of nego-
elation is going on between General Cordova and Don
Carlos to put an end to the war in Spain ; but in
what manner it will terminate is as yet doubtful. Spa-
nish Passive 12+ 1 ; Deferred 19+ ; Portuguese 81/ ;

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—In almost every direction
the accounts all agree that the hops are making extraordi-
nary progress, with little or nothing to check them.—lllaid-
stone Gazette.
According to the Dutch papers, there were on the
Ist of January, in Holland—Calvinists, 1,489,505; Roman
Catholics, 857,951 ; Lutherans, 65,931 ; Jews, 46,655;
Jansenists, 5,007 ; Remonstrants, 4,970 ; other sects, 1,975.
On Monday last, a human foot with a part of the
leg attached, was found on the sea shore, behind the south
pier, at this port. It was the right foot of an apparently male
adult ; the leg was from below the knee, wanting the bone
from the calf. The great toe was also wanting. It was in-
terred in the churchyard.—Sunderland Herald of Saturday.
BRITISH MUSEUM.—We learn, from an abstract
of the accounts presented to Parliament, that the receipts of
the Museum from Christmas 1834 to 1835, were 19,603/. Bs.,
and the expenditure for the same period 19,079/. 4s. Of this
latter sum upwards of 11,0001. consisted of salaries and wages.
The result of the first day's polling in Merioneth-
shire was, for Mr. Richards, 477 ; for Sir W. Wynn, 139.
Not more than 50 remained for the next day, so that the re-
turn of the former gentleman has no doubt taken place ere
this. But the ground is broken, and to find, without any
preparation for the struggle, so many as 141) Reformers regis-
tered in this quiet Tory county of Merioneth, is of itself a
great victory. Next election will tell a different story.
THE OCEAN.—" I think with you, that the most
magnificent object under Heaven is the great deep; and cannot
but feel an unpolite species of astonishment when I consider
the multitudes that view it without emotion, and even without
reflection. In all its various forms, it is an object of all others
the most suited to affect us with lasting impressions of the
awful Power that created and controls it. lam the less in-
clined to think this negligence excusable, because, at a time of
life when I gave as little attention to religious subjects as
almost any man, I yet remember that the waves would preach
to me, and that in the midst of dissipation I had an ear to hear
them. One of Shakspearc's characters says,—` lam never
merry when I hear sweet music.' The same effect that har-
mony seems to have had upon him, I have experienced from
the sight and sound of the ocean, which have often composed
my thoughts into a melancholy not unpleasing, nor without its
use. So much for Signor Nettuno."—Southey's Cowper.
COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—A Commission of
Lunacy was held on Monday at the Cadogan Hotel, Sloane-
street, to inquire into the state of mind of Benjamin Toussant,
son of a respectable tradesman at the west-end of the town.
Dr. Sutherland had the care of him from the sth of August,
1831. He considered him a sort of automaton. If left alone,
he would remain standing, and if ordered to do anything he
would do it. The Jury found Mr. Toussant had been in an
unsound state of mind from the sth of August, 1831.
THE MOORS.—Game arc abundant on the low
grounds of Lord Panmure's extensive moors on the Grampians.
On the lofty hills they are scarce, and the broods late.

A few days since, a child was christened in the
parish church of St. James, Poole, by the following names :
" Senora Donna Maria da Gloria Johanna Charlotta Leopol-
dina Isadora du Cruz Francesca Xaviera du Paula Miehaela
Gabriella Raffaela Louisa Gonzala.—Salisbury Herald of Sa-
turday.

It is rather curious that, whilst in Spain the pro-
perty of the convents is sold to pay the national debt, in Ire-
land it is seized by Act of Parliament to swell the revenues of
the Reformed Church.—Dublin Evening Post.
LIVERPOOL DOCK BILL.—The defeat of the
Tory job which it was the object of the promoters of this Bill
to perpetuate, has carried dismay and confusion into the citadel
of the Liverpool Corruptionists. Their organ, the Standard
of that city, seeing that the game is up, and that the jobbers
are frustrated in their nefarious scheme, no longer thinks it
necessary to restrain his, apparently, editorial penchant,
and accordingly fills a full column with loud philippics
against those who have aided in the exposure and prevention
of the Tory tricks and Dock designs. The Standard of
Tuesday is not simply irate, but actually scolds and calls
names—after the fashion, which we sometimes see, of a sturdy
offender, upon whom the sentence of the law has no sooner
been passed, than he emits a volley of abuse on the Judge,
Jury, and all concerned in his condemnation. Some
of the Honourable Members in the House of Com-
mons, who refused to sanction the Dock Estate
job, are politely called scrubs—ignorant scrubs 1 !
Mr. Ewart's name is connected with " the tumblers of Clay-
ton-square," and a sort of menacing prediction that he will
soon be sorry for the part he took, is levelled against that gen-
tleman—ivho is besides admonished that he and " his heart-
less faction" must be made to answer for this their wrong-
doing. Mr. Stanley is not suffered to escape—he is a sad
fellow_if words could kill, he certainly would not now be
alive to read the indignant commentary upon his misconduct.
Under-Secretary E. J. Stanley (says our angry and mortified
Contemporary) has rendered himself eminently conspicuous for
the vile subserviency and party spirit he has shewn throughout.
The clause which he introduced, contrary to the advice of the
speaker, and which had for its apparent object the exception of
certain ports in Cheshire from dock dues, was devised solely
to render the Bill obnoxious, and afford a pretext for opposing
it. Mr. E. J. Stanley may now, perhaps, be chuckling at the
success of his manoeuvre ; but it is not creditable even in him,
it was a paltry trick—a mere effort of low diplomacy—of vul-
gar cunning and hypocrisy—persisted in without the slightest
regard for decency or candour !1" " A paltry trick," " vul-
gar cunning," " hypocrisy." These are Conservative terms,
applied personally to Mr. Stanley—this is the language of
Tories—whether it be that of Gentlemen—of the Dock Estate
Gentlemen, we do not know, but every person must at once
admit that it cannot be " persisted in (with) the slightest re-
gard for decency and candour."
