Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
foreign stock, at least two-thirds of which sere of in-
ferior quality. The primest Beasts and Sheep sold at
full prices; otherwise, the trade was heavy. From our
own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this
morning were again somewhat extensive, and of very
prime quality. The attendance of buyers being good,
Newgate and Leadenhall markets well cleared of their
last week's arrivals, and the weather more favourable for
slaughtering, the Beef trade was tolerably steady, though
far from brisk, and in some instances the prices ruled
2a per 81bs higher than on Monday last. The highest
figures for the best Scots were from 3s 6d to 33 8d per
81bs. The Bullock receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire consisted of 1,650 Scots and
Short-horns. From the western and midland counties
we received 800 Herefords, Bunts, Devons, &c.; from
other parts of England 650 of various breeds; and from
Scotland 200 Scots. The remainder of the supply was de-
rived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The numbers of Sheep were again seasonably good.
Generally speaking, they came to hand in good condi-
tion. On the whole, the Mutton trade was in a sluggi*h
state. In prices we have no change to notice from those
paid on this day se'nnight. The;primest old Downs, in
the wool, sold at from 4s 2d to 4s 4d; out of the wool,
3s 8d to 3s 10d per Sibs. Nearly a moiety of the Sheep
were shorn. Lambs moved off slowly at from 6s 4d to
6s 61 per Sibs. The supply was by no means large.
'the Veal trade was in a very inactive state, and prices
were quite 2d per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The
tale for pigs was heavy. The quotations, however, were
fairly supported. _ _ _

THE WRECK OF THE LONDONDERRY STEAMER.

After a trial which occupied two days at the Derry
assizes, Captain Johnston and the mates of the ill-fated
Londonderry steamer were acquitted of " the assault of
Hannah Brennan and others, and of having caused her
death by placing her and others in a place on board
the Londonderry steamer, where they had not a suffi•-
ciency of air to preserve lite; and that, while there, the
said traversers neglected to pay her and others proper
attention, and had thereby caused the death of the said
Hannah Brennan."

The Learned Judge said that his Learned Colleague,
Mr. Shell, had requested him to state that he fully
concurred with him (Judge Torrens) in the verdict they
had brought in.

Some conversation then took place between the coun-
sel for the defence and Judge Torrens, which had been
called forth by several memorials addressed to the
Judge from parties who sought to get their passage-
money which they stated they had lost, to enable them
to go to America.

The Judge said, that the representative of the Crown
Solicitor, Mr. AliMahon, had kindly consented to inquire
into the memorials, and to communicate with the Glas-
gow Steam-packet Company on the subject.
THE CORN TRADE.—We have still a downward ten-
dency in our corn market.; Foreign wheat continues to
be offered at a low rate, and flour of every description is
slow in sale. Indian corn, however, is steady, and main-
tains its value. At this morning's market we had a
better demand for farmer's wheat, and buyers had to give
a slight advance on prime samples. Oats are scarce, and
6d. dearer. Good barley is wanted. Indian corn in im-
proved demand ; but the sale is a retail one, without
change in price. Flour of good quality with difficulty
supports quotations, but we observe a slightly increased
inquiry.

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 26 1849.

It will be observed from the report from the Com-
mittee of her Majesty's Privy Council for Trade and
Plantations, published by ourselves in another part of
this evening's impression, that the Government have
considered themselves bound to recommend to her
MAJaSTY, and that her MAJESTY has been graciously
. pleased to approve of certain molifications of the
conditions in the draft of the grant of Vancouver's
Island to the Hudson's Bay Company. The nature
of these amendments may be perceived in three mi-
nutes by a glance through the document to which we
have referred. We are induced to direct public atten-
,
tion to thi9 supplementary proceeding of the Ad-
ministration, not because we recognise any very
remarkable improvement in these corrections of a
1 blundpr that roust be ever viewed us altogether
deplorable, but because we consider the very fact of
this additional report being regarded as necessary as
perhaps the most striking tet timony that could have
been afforded of the shameful precipitation of the
Government. So hastily was this splendid island
juggled into the pos.ession of the fur-traders that the
members of the Cabicet find it already incumbent
upon them, in order to stop the clamour
of the people, and to evade the investi-
gations of PurliAment, to patch and cobble
the draft grant into a shape such as may
not be a Vagrant indication of its having been

WOOL.

The imports of Wool into London, last week, were
confined to 299 bales from Hamburgh, 8 ditto from Rot-
terdam, and 107 ditto from the Cape. The private con •
tract market is rather scantily supplied with most kinds
of Wool, especially tho finer sorts of Colonial, while
the general demand is steady, at fully the late advance
in the quotations. The manufacturing district accounts
are favourable as regards this market; yet we see very
little prospect of any further advance in prices.

FRANKFORT.

The German Parliament met on the 221, when
the vote was taken on M. EISENSTUCH'S motion that
the Assembly proceed forthwith to vote on the
several paragraphs of the Constitution, without
allowing any further amendments to be moved, and
that the vote on the 3d paragraph—which relates to
the head of the empire—shall be taken last. M.
EISENSTUCH wished to withdraw his motion in favour
of or.e proposed by M. HECHSCHER, but the Assembly
refused to allow him. The vote was taken on M.
EisErts-rucu's motion, which was carried (himself
voting against it) by a majority of 282 to 246.
The remaining orders of the day having been dis-
posed of, the President of the Assembly intimated
that he had a communication to make to it from M.
VON GAGERN :—" M. VON GAGERN intimates that
all the Ministers, the Secretaries of State included,
have tendered their resignations to the Vicar of the
Empire, and that his Imperial Highness, after ma-
turely considering the reasons they as3igne'd for
taking such a step, has accepted their resignations.
The ex-Ministers will continue to discharge the rou-
tine duties of their respective offices till their succes-
sors are appointed." The Assembly then adjourned till
next day.
It is said the Archduke JOHN has rent for M. DE
VYDENBURG, who voted with the Prussian party, and
M. KERCHGENNER, who voted on the other side. The
second reading of the law on the Constitutio❑ is fixed
for the 24th.

The Gazette Allemande approves of the resolution
of the Ministry, seeing that the Anarchists and the
Austrians have the power to hinder the passing of
the Constitution, and that they intend to use it to
render permanent the present uncertain state of affairs.

THE NETHERLANDS.

THE HAGUE, MARCH 23.—His Majesty William
111. has issued the following proclamation on his as-
cent to the throne :

" We William 111., by the Grace of God King of the
Netherlands, Prince of Orange Nassau, Grand Duke of
Luxembourg, &c.
" My well beloved countrymen and subjects of every
rank and every condition, . _ _

" Called to the throne by the death of my august
father, whose memory is so justly dear, I deeply feel the
importance of the task which devolves upon me.
" In firm reliance upon God, and tilled with confidence
in my people, who are so devotedly attached to my house,
I take into my hands the reins of government.
"It is my first act to issue this solemn declaration in
my residentiary city, although a sacred and melancholy
duty calls me elsewhere without delay.
" William I. accepted the sovereign power, which was
to be carried out according to a constitution.
" William 11., in conczrt with the national Represen-
tatives, modified the fundamental law according to the
requirements of the times.

It is my mission, in the same spirit, to give the fun-
damental law its complete force.
" For the accomplishment of this mission, I confidently
depend upon the faithful concurrence of all the constitu-
tional powers.
" I retain in their present functions all the officers of
state, all the officers of the army and navy, and the com-
munal guard, whatever be their rsnk or station.
" Men of the Netherlands, remain faithful to the
motto of your ancestors, Union is strength,' and strive
with me for that liberty by submission to the laws.
" We desire and command that the present decree be
promulgated at a public and solemn audience of the High
Court of the Netherlands, at the provincial courts and
tribunal of the circuits, and that it be further affixed, ac-
cording to usage, in all public places, and inserted in the
official journal.
" Done at the Hague, March 21, 1849.

" The Minister of War, POET.
" The Minister of Finance, VON BossE.
" The Minister of the Culonies, G. L. BAUD."
After the completion of the above act, his MA-
JESTY quitted the Hague at ten o'clock at night for
Tilburg, whence he returned on the morning of the
23d.

After his return, his MAJESTY issued a royal
mandate, calling upon all the people of the Nether-
lands of all denominations to unite in public prayer
on Sunday, for the special blessing of DIVINE PRO-
TIDENCE upon the reign just commenced.— Staats

BLOCKADE OF BERNBURG.

HALLE, MARCH 19.—The disturbances at Bern-
burg cause a great deal of sensation here. It would
appear that the commotion, which was caused by the
entrance of the troops, was not a popular movement,
but that it was a deep-laid plan, in which some high
persons are implicated.
The city is now in a state of blockade. In a pro-
clamation the 'Minister of State says that the military
of this place were attacked and fired upon in the

On the 14th the provisional military governor of
Parma DEGENFIELD, issued a decree, by which, in
consequence of his departure, a commission of go-
vernment is created, composed of Baron SoL-
DATI, Count NASALLI, and Count RUG ARLIC. In the
course of the day the National Guard occupied all the
posts, and a proclamation was issued, informing the
inhabitants that the municipality had assumed the
government of the city, and named a provisional dele-
gate of public security, in the person of Dr. CAVAG-
NARI, and a deputy delegate, in the person of M.
TAGLIAJACCUI. The Austrians passed the Po at
Brescello, marching towards Casalinaggiore.
The Tuscan Government has published a procla-
mation informing the Tuscans that the armistice has
been broken, and calling upon Tuscany to do her
duty. The only feature worth noticing in this docu-
ment is that, although expressing cordial feelings
towards Piedmont, is does not mention the name of

M One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposlag them married, queatioaably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution aid worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
comprosiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldform an item
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Flighted hopes or

HOLL AND.

The (1,!.s ,th of King William 11. was formally an-
nounced .at the Hague on the 17th. The Second
Chamber of the States-General was immediately
called tog ether, and the decease of his late Majesty
having bee .n notified to the Members by the Ministry,
the Prince of Orange was proclaimed King.
M. Liciitenveld, Minister for Foreign Affairs, left
the Hagu a on Saturday for London, to announce
the death. of his father to the new Sovereights, who
will assume the title of King William 111.
During the afternoon of Saturday the troops com-
posing the garrison of the Hague were mustered
on the p arade ground and took the usual oath of
allegiance to King William 111. The city remained
profoundl y tranquil, nor was any apprehension en-
tertained that popular disturbances; would break out.

ITALY.

On the 13th FERRARI, the Piedmontese Minister
for Foreign Affairs, addressed a note to the Ministers
of France and England, declaring the termination of
the armistice, announcing the reasons which had led
the Court of Turin to adopt this course, and de-
claring that the kind mediation of France and
England will be more efficacious at a later period,
when fresh hostilities shall have caused Austria to feel
the necessity of treating with Piedmont on the basis
of an honourable peace.
A letter from Turin which has arrived in Paris
states that the Lombard divison has been placed at its
own request on the first line of the army, and that it
holds the advance posts.
The Pattie gives the following letter from Turin,
dated the 14th inst. :

" The King set out for Alessandria to-day; he yes
terday received a visit from Mr. Abercrombie, the
English Minister, who endeavoured to stop the King in
the course on which he was entering. The King at last
started up, in considerable agitation, and said, Sir, to
please you, I last year consented to the armistice of
Salasco, which was an act of shame for me. I stopped
short at the Adige, and I submitted to a mediation
which has been changed into an act of treachery.
Since the 7th of May our situation has been
intolerable ; the sacrifices which we support are
infinitely worse than war ; and notwithstanding, I have
shut my ears to the sufferings of the Lombards and
Venetians. What have you done for me? Nothing;
for you have not thought fit to say one word when Austria
violated the armistice. By your silence you have given
your approbation to that violation of the law of na-
tions. Now that we are plunged into an abyss, ought
we to remain in it? No, sir, no; I prefer to see my
crown shaken by cannon-shots, rather than to succumb to
hooting and hissing in the street. At.least, if I am to fall,
my fall shall be honourable for me and for my people.'
Mr. Abercrombie withdrew in much agitation.'
M. Bois-le-Comte presented himself three times at the
Palace, and each timetime hesitated to eater. At last, in
the evening, he proceeded to the hotel of the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, but could only see M. Battaglione,
the first Secretary, the Minister being absent. It is too
late,' said M. Battaglione, it is now a fait accompli, a re-
commencement of hostilities has been given notice of.
Major Oadorna, brother of the Minister, has set out for.
Turin, to denounce the armistice.' M. Bois-le-Comte ap-
peared mueh moved, and withdrew, exclaiming, What
a misfortune On the other hand, Radetzky appears
uneasy. A part of the garrison of Milan has quitted
the city, but I cannot say whether it has taken the road
to Lodi or Novarra. Radetzky has sent his wife and
children to Verona.

preferred by Colonel 11axwel1 against Quartermaster
Hare, resumed its inqt dry yesterday, when the deren-
dant's legal adviser, Mr. , Lavers, read his defence, which
was a very able docume at. After that, Colonel Maxwell
was partly examined, a nd the examination resumed to-
day. Major Robertson was also called, but was under
examination for only a .hort time; after which the Court
rose. It is expected tht tt the defence will last as long as

COUNTY-RATES.

Mr. AGLIONBY presented petitions from places in
Lancashire complaining of the increase of county-rates,

CANADIAN REVOLUTION.

Mr. F. MACKENZIE said a statement had appeared
in the public prints to-day in reference to Canada of a
very extraordinary nature. It was stated that a Bill had
been introduced into the Colonial Legislature of Canada
for indemnifying certain persons for the lose and injury
they had sustained during the rebellion of 1337. It ap-
; Oared that these persons had been engaged in the
' rebellion, and one of the' objects of the Bill was to levy
a rate upon the colony to indemnify thein for the ex-
pense and inconvenience they had sustained in -under-
taking a voyage from • Canada to Van Diemen's Land.—
(Laughter.) It was also stated that a person named
Nelson was to be indemnified for the damage done
to his house daring the rebellion by the Queen's troops,
and he begged leave to give notice that to-morrow he
should ask Government whether it was true that such a
Bill had been introduced ?

Mr. HAWES thought it-best to answer the question
at once. No dispatch or communication to 'the effect
that any such Bill had been introduced had been re-
ceived from Canada by the Noble Lord at the head of
the Colonial Department.. No information had been re-
,ceived which could enable him to make any other answer
than that there was no foundation for the report.
Mr. MACKENZIE—Am I to understand the Hon.
Gentleman to say that he has no knowledge of such a
Bill having been Introduced?
hMr. HAWES—I have no knowledge• of anysuch Bill
aving been introduced from any -official source, nor have
.1 any knOwledge of the fact at all.--(Hear.)

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our
markets since this day se'nnight have been on the in-
crease, compared with those reported in the preceding
week, they proved small, the time of year considered,
and of very middling quality, especially the samples re-
ceived from Essex and Kent. The supply of English
Barley was moderate,
.that of all other articles of home
produce trifling. The receipts from Ireland and Scot-
land chiefly consisted of a few cargoes of Oats. The
foreign imports fell off to some extent: they comprised
12,140 quarters of Wheat; 6.124 ditto of Barley; 5,963
ditto of Oats; 490 ditto of Rye; 483 ditto of Beans;
364 ditto of Peas; 646 ditto of Tares; 22 ditto of Lin-
seed; 92 ditto of Mustard Seed; 30 ditto of sundry seeds;
3,609 sacks, and 1,000 barrels of Flour—the former
chiefly from France, the latter from the United States.
Fresh up this morning, from Kent, Essex, Cambridge-
shire, &c., a very moderate supply of Wheat came to
hand, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample.
The stands exhibited a very small show of parcels of
both red and white, nevertheless the quantity wa3 fully
adequate to meet the wants of the millers, who purchased
with extreme caution. The factors being unwilling to
accept any reduction, the demand for all kinds of Wheat
of home produce was excessively heavy, at barely, but
at nothing quotable, beneath the prices paid en
this day ss'nnight. At the close of the market
a total clearance of the samples was not effected.
An immense quantity of foreign Wheat was again on
offer. The importers were not quite so anxious to sell
as last week. The sale for that article was, however,
extremely heavy, at unaltered quotations. Large parcels
of Wheat might have been purchased on lower terms.
Floating cargoes of Wheat andother.foreign Grain:were
nominal in value, from want;of buyera. The supply of
foreign Barley being on the increase, trade was ex-
tremely dull. Malting, as well as grinding and distilling
samples moved off in retail quantities at last week's cur-
rencies. For Malt there was scarcely any demand. The
few parcels disposed of were at last week's prices.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Oats was limited,
that article met a dull enquiry, at about stationary prices.
Most of the dealers are waiting further arrivals from
abroad, ere they got into stock. All kinds of Beans were
very dull, and inferior qualities ruled a shade lower. Peas
moved off slowly, at last Monday's quotations. Indian
Corn and meal neglected. No change took place in the
value of Flour, the demand for which article was very
Leavy.

The city of Keszkemel, the second in the county
of Pesth, surrendered to the Hungarians after the
action, and the Magyars, were advancing to Buda,
under the walls of which city a decisive action would,
it was supposed, take place. GORGY had advanced

IRISH POOR-RATES.
Mr. FRENCH wished to ask the Hon. Secretary for
Ireland a question. On the 6th of February a return
was ordered of the military and police engaged in the
collection of the poor-rates in Ireland, but it had not

they might expect to have that document in their hands?
Sir W. SOMERVILLE could not say; but be had
written to Ireland on the subject.
CHICORY.
Mr. ANSTEY repeated the questions which he put
on Friday to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the
subject of the Treasury minute sanctioning the adultera-
tion of coffee with chicory. Ceylon, he said, had lost
upwards of 300,0001. in consequence of the order, and
he wished to ask whether the coffee from Ceylon, as re-
turned in October last, was not unsaleable as coffee, and
had absolutely been sold at chicory prices, and whether the
Right Hon. Baronet knew any reason why the Act of
Parliament which had been suspended for the purpose
of letting in chicory in the place of Colonial coffee, had
not been suspended for the purpose of letting in the
British leaf instead of China tea. (Hear and laughter.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was an old act of Geo. 111., that prohibited the adultera-
tion of coffee with chicory; but about theyear 1833-34

TURKEY.

We have great satisfaction in being enabled to lay
before our readers an authentic and most interesting
dispatch from a correspondent at Constantinople.
The subjoined is a hurried translation :

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 25.—The question which
is pending amongst us has been brought to no decisive
conclusion since my last communication. Neither
party evinces any inclination to yield, and war be-
comes every day more imminent. The Porte,
strongly backed by the English and French Ambas-
sadors, has summoned Russia to evacuate the
Danubian Principalities, and although Russia offers
no decided refusal, she is evidently solicitous to obtain
from the SULTAN his signature to a treaty
still more pernicious to the interests of
Turkey than that deplorable treaty which
can never be forgotten, the treaty of
Unkiar Skelessi. As you may readily conjecture,
the Sublime Porte has no great inclination to sign his
own death warrant. The Divan has, moreover, re-
jected at once, and indignantly, the ultimatum inso-
lently tendered by M. TiTorr ; and, to hold itself in
readiness for any emergency has pushed for ward the
armament with the utmost energy and rapidity. The
reserve forces have been all called forth into active
service ; and tha whole of the effective army of the
Ottoman empire, comprising the contingents from
Servia and from Egypt, will very speedily
have reached a grand total of 300,000
men. The Turkish marine, meanwhile, consists of
24 vessels of the line, 26 frigates, more than a hun-
dred corvettes, brigs, bomb-ships and schooners, with
20 steam-boats—all in admirable condition. The
