SHAFTESBURY.

The Committee decided this morning, after deliberating with closed
doors for a considerable time, that the adjournment of the Revising Bar-
risters' Court was not legal. This decision strikes ofF :11 votes which
were objected to on the ground of the illegality of the adjournment;
20 of them from the poll of the Sitting Member; 11 of them from the
poll of the opposing Candidate. This leaves the Tory Candidate in a
majority of 9.

The Counsel for the Sitting Member proceeded to take the class of
objections founded on non-payment of the rat( s, in the scot and lot voters

DUBLIN.

The Committee met at the usual hour, and
Mr. KEATINII announced that the objection to Byrne's vote,—
entered upon at the close of yesterday's proceedings, would be
abandoned.

The petitioners then objected to the vote of James Haslam, No. 69,
Jaines.street, on the ground that the voter had nut paid his paving tax
before voting.
Mr. WUANGHAM, however, stated that, as it appeared the voter had
paid his rate for 1836 on the 26th May, the objection would, therefore,
be abandoned.

Mr. IlocaucK remarked that had the case been proceeded with, he
could have proved that the Collector gave a receipt dated differently
from the receipt in his book.
Mr. WHANUHANI then said that seeing the Committee -(in direct op-
position to the decisions of the former Dublin Committee) did not
strike off so many votes on the ground of not having paid the paving
tax as the petitioners had calculated upon ; this class of objections
would be abandoned, and the class, relating to insolvent debtors, would
be proceeded with.
Mr. AUSTIN and Mr. ROEBUCK objected to this, because no notice
had been given them of the proposed change, and they asked that
the other side might be compelled to ask an adjournment, and to pay
the expenses of both sides.
The Committee ordered the room to be cleared, and on the re-
admission of the public,
The CHAIRMAN announced the Committee to be adjourned till to-
morrow, on the understanding that then the petitioners would proceed
with the class of Insolvent Debtors (in number amounting to 69).

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TIVELTE
.O•CLOCIC

We have received the Journsidu Commerce of Antwerp of the 22d
inst. (yesterday) which is important in respect to Dutch affairs. It
was positively stated in some of the Morning Journals that the King of
Holland had accepted the twenty-four articles. We copy the following
from the debates of the Chamber of Representatives at Brussels, in their
Sitting of the 20th inst.
" M. Ilaffschmidt—l desire that the discussion should be for a Too.
ment interrupted, as I wish to address the Minister. Gentlemen, the
news which has been published since yesterday by the Journals, that the
King of Holland had accepted the tweuty.four articles, is of too great
importance to the nation and the Chamber, not to desire to be informed if
the Government has received an official communication on the subject,
and I new ask of the Ministers to explain themselves.
" The Minister of Foreign Affairs—The Hon. Member demands if
the Netherlands Government accept purely and simply the Treaty of
the twenty-four articles.

" We have not as yet received the official news, but information that
they are disposed to accept the twenty-four articles. This is the only
information I am permitted to give to the Chamber."

By the above it is evident that, on the 21st instant, the twenty-four
articles had not been accepted. If they had, it certainly would have
been made public by the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Brussels ; but,
as the King of Holland expresses a wish to conform to them, perhaps
with some modifications, it may be a few days before we hear the result.
It is reported that a great Commercial House in the City received by
express yesterday arrivals at Havre of the French American Packet there
with letters three or four days later; also that a vessel has arrived
from Boston of the date of the 27th ult. It is strange that the Liver-
pool and London Packets of the Ist inst. have not arrived.

Consols opened at the closing prices of yesterday, 93a to 1,4 for the

In the Foreigu Market the chief speculation still continues in Dutch
Stock, which may be quoted at 55}, rather better than they closed.
Although there is no official information as yet of the Dutch and Bel.
gian siffairs being settled, the prevailing opinion is, that we shall soon
hear that the King of Holland has signed the twenty_feur articles.

According to accounts from St. Petersburg to the Bth of March the
Emperor is making paper war against Austria, in which he ridicules
him for having abandoned the cause of Don Carlos.
The Commander of the Russian fleet at Cronstadt has received
orders to get ready two of the first.rate frigates and three brigs for an
expedition, which is to be commanded by the Grand Admiral Nicola.

Emperor goes to Germany. The expedition is to proceed to the ports
of Holland.

iLi the Foreign Market Spanish Active heavy at 21, with Coupons ;
Portuguese 301 ; Three per Cents, 201 ; Dutch is not so good as in the
morning, and receded from 551 to 54i 1, no doubt owing to no official
information being received of the question of the Dutch and Belgian
affairs being settled ; Columbian 2Si ; Brazilian also lower, 7914.

In the Share Market little doing, except in Asphalte, which has con.
siderably fallen this morning. It had reached 21 premium, since
which it may be quoted at 16, owing to an opposition Company coming
out. It is apprehended that in a short time they will be considerably
lower.

Comicial for the Account, 931.

A case of some interest was decided on Monday
last by the Cour Royale, Paris. It arose out of the alleged
deposit of papers of value in the hands of Prince Talleyrand
by aM. Possoz (Mayor of Passy). Those papers were the
engagements of the Duke de Dino to pay to the plaintiff (M.
Possoz) a sum of 12,000 f., and were placed in the hands of
the Prince (through the medium of M. Gabriel Delessert,
Prefect of Police), for the purpose, it was supposed, of in-
ducing the Prince to pay the debt of his nephew. He (Prince
Talleyrand) pleaded before the Cour de Premiere Instance,
that he had not opened the parcel in which the papers were
stated to be enclosed, but had forwarded them to the Duke de
Dino. The Cour de Premiere Instance giving credit to the
statement, nonsuited the plaintiff, but M. Possoz appealed to
the Cour Royale against that decision, and which Court,
through its President, Baron Seguier, on Monday ordered
that Prince Talleyrand should within six months return the
documents in question, or pay to M. Possoz the sum of 12,0001.
DEVIZES ELECTION.—The important prelimi-
nary has been gone through by Captain Dundas and his
friends, and has been attended with signal success; not only
have the Gallant
.Captain's old friend; to a man remained
stanch, but a considerable number of his former opponents
hay: joined his ranks, and pledged themselves to vote for him
—this :s very satisfactory, as it shows the increasing estima-
tion in which he is held ; at the same time it points out very
clearly, that the opposition is merely factious. We have just
received intelligence from Captain Dundas's Committee of so
favourable a nature, that we think nothing short of madess can
induce those who have brought forward Mr. Heneage to per-
severe.— Wilts Independent.
