CITY OP LONDON CORPORATION BILL.

Mr. Deputy HAantsoN brought up the reprt of
the Freedom -Committee with respect to the Bill to
amend the Act of 11 Geo. 1., fir regulating elections
in the city of London, and having observed that in
consequence of the inlefatigable exertions of the Lord
Mayor, the measure bad been carried through Par-
liament in the most satisfactory manner, and having
made some observations on certain alterations which
the Bill had undergone, moved that the report recom -
mending that the amendments be approved be
adopted.

Air. ANDERSON having seconded the motion.
Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR opposed the Parliamentary
amendments, and wi-bed to hear the opinion of the
Recorder on the subject.
The RECORDER said he considered the Corporation
had made a good bargain.
Alderman LAWRENCH said the Bill would operate
most beneficially in many respects.
Alderman SIDNEY concurred in the opinion that
the Lord Mayor and the Ciry Remembrancer deserved
the highest praise for their exertions in passing the
measure through Parliament, hut he regretted that it
had not undergone adequate discussion in Parliament.
He looked upon the Bill as calculated to restrict
the
of to extend the franchise, and he hoped h
Corporation would withdraw a measure which only
partially dealt with some evils, whilst it produced
others.

Mr. Doputy STEPHENS requested information from
the City Solicitor as to the persons who might claim
to vote.

The CITY SOLICITOR felt great difficulty in an-
swering the question ; the second and third sections
contradicted each other. lie felt great difficulty in
reconciling the discrepancy.
Mr. Deputy STF.PHENS could perceive the difficul-
ties alluded to; but he believed the advantages which
would arise from the unquestionable extension of the
franchise would counterbalance any dangers resulting
from its exercise.
Mr. W. JONES would vote for the Bill.

Mr. NORRIS was willing to take the Bill, as it
would let into the constituency a vast number of
freemen who were at present prevented from voting.
After some further observ4tions from Mr. Stacy,
Dr. de Jersey, Mr. J. Wood, and Alderman Salo-
mons, the latter of whom considered the Bill a great
boon, the report was agreed to by a vast majority,
only seven members hAvinv votod against it.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING —At Eiyre,
yesterday, trade ',las very dull for all descriptions of
goods, pArticularly cotton t. hut the stagnation in that
article blast owing to the caution cbserven both by buy( rs
and s•llers, until the news brought by the GAnada, on
Saturday, to Liverpool should be known. The, sales to
two o'clock were 752 bales ; prices were lira. The 13:.-
rade, from New York, Belle Creole, from Martinque,
and Jules.et-Sophie, from Carmen, entered the Havre
roads yesterday. Sailed—Barbadian, Roth. Baltimore,
with emigrants; and Boa harmony, Caminha.

THE COUNT! Y MARKETS.
HULL, JULY 31.
Messrs Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The weather
has been braken during the past week, and heavy rain has fallen
on spy, ral occasions. All reports agree that we have had more
wet than is good tor wheat, and amply sufficient fur spring
corn. The period of reaping is retarded, and no doubt more
sun is desirable than we now exoerience. The trade is lifeless;
holders retain their firmness, tdough supply is rather in excess
• of demand, but it must not be forgotten that the inland factor,
miller, and dealer, are very bare of stock, that consumption is
great, and any alarm for the crop would tell sensibly on prices
at t teir present moderate range. Our farmers brought a fair
supply of wheat for this day's market, but we cannot write the
market more than Is lower. Ot foreign there was a god„
shew, quality for the most part moderate, and difficult to se"j •
even at Is to 2s per quarter reduction, while fine samples, which
are less plentiful, cannot be quoted more than Is per qr lower.
With another large arrival of barley, the coun'ry demand pre-
vents our quoting more than 6d per qr decline, at which there
are more buyers than sellers. There is no quotable alterationin beans or peas, but for oats we have a good demand, at Nil
our currency below. We have a good arrival of linseed, which
for the most part goes direct to the mills, and has little it,'
fluence on the market, which remains very firm ; cakes we un-
altered, with a fair daily sale. Nothing dote in rapeseed, but
rape cakes meet more inquiry. Sales of bones are practicable
at our quotations to speculators.
The blowing are the present prices of grain;—

LIVERPOOL, JULY 31.—The arrivals from Ireland and coast'
wise during the week have been light. From foreign ports les
have received a liberal supply of wheat and flour, and a large
quantity of Indian corn. The exports in the same timelfue.°
been comparatively unimportant. The weather, notwithstana
ing occasional showers, having been, upon the whole, favour
able for the crops, our trade has been quiet, and buyers hsc,,
-
.;
evinced much caution. In the few transactions reported
wheat and flour the prices of last Tuesday have been well sur
ported. Indian corn, however, has sustained a further decline
of 2s od per quarter, the demand being at present totally inaut.
quate to the supply. There has been hardly anything doing
other articles, and no change in value worth notirg. At the
day's market there was a good attendance of the town au
country trade, and a fair amount of business was done in vibes'
at a reduction of Id per 70Ib on middling and inferior qualitiesi
but fine samples of both red and white realized the prices of
this day week. Oats and oatmeal were in moderate request'
and without change in value. Barley was Id per
,60Ib lower'
and beans and peas a slew sale, at late rates. Flour met with
only a limited demand, though no reduction was submitted
In Indian corn a decline of fully 3s per quarter must be notaii
27s being the extreme value of prime yellow. Indian mealsal
in retail at 15s 6d per barrel.
LE;LDS, JULY 31,—We have a large arrival of wheat at Mar_a
ket to .day, and the. trade is very dull at last week's prices, "
to affect sales Is per quarter less has been taken. In other f.
titles no change in value. There was a good deal of rain t"e
last week, but the weather is fine to.day.:
PRICES OF WOOL AND OIL AT LIVERPOOL.—SinCe (Inf
last monthly report the wool market has shown much
provement, not only in the demand, but also in the price,'
which &early indicates that the industry of the country is
vigorous, and that trade is resuming a substantial and healt%
form. From the manufacturing districts we learn that a large
consumption is going forward, and prospects of a good busillet
for some time hence are brighter than could have been antiet_,
pated. It is true manufacturers are slow to admit the cheeril
fact, but we know numerous orders are received from Oros':
that were a few months back executed in those contineetsto
states which have suffered from insurrection ; these, in additi°
tad
to the regular consumption, place the artizan in a sates,ae
and flourishing condition. By private treaty sales have r;
been so extensive, from want of variety of useful low kin°she
what has beon sold realised full and advanced prices ; til,
d.scriptions cleared are chiefly Russian (part to arrive), Ij,er-s,
vian, Oporto combing, yellow, and lambs'; Alpaca, Itlogau°,ro
Tut key, East India, &c.: the stock is much reduced. OP `ci
llth and 25th ultimo, about 1 200 bales East Irdia were e7OO
by auction, the attendance was good and the compettr,
spirted ; this class may be quoted fully id to id per lb 111P-di
Scotch—Both Cheviot, Laid Highland, and Cross, are M°
inquired aft r ; there is not a great quantity here, which
ace
offered at the quotations, but in Scotland these wools h_,„
changed hands recently, at rates fully as high as can be elor
tained here. Irish and English—A good demand exist? 0:
each, and parcels are readily moved off at advanced pr'' iii
stock very light. The public sales which commence?, id
London the beginning of July are about closing; a rise et
to 2d per lb was realised at the onset, and is maintained,L)
though the quantity brought forward is estimated at 40,u1
bales ; thee is also a fair attendance. Oil A good detilari
has existed throughout the month ; large sales have been rands
at higher prices; the present value is low, which induces tits
to expect a further advance.—(From Joseph Robinwn and
Co.'s Circular. )
