We may expect daily her Majesty's steam ship Dee. which
is supposed to have sailed from Jamaica March 14, touching
at Antigua and Bermuda, on her homeward-bound route. It
is understood that the above islands are the only places that the
President steam ship could make, in the event of her running
to the south. The next Jamaica mail cannot bring any intel-
ligence of the President, as it comes direct for England.
The British Funds are not quite so good as in the early part
of the morning, owing to some money stock being brought to
market, but not to any great extent. It is supposed that the
high price of Consols has tempted persons to realise. Money
is rather lighter in the house, from a to 3 per cent.
Consols may be quoted at present 906 for the Account ;

A new Association, called the Political In-
stitute," which promises to aid political enlightenment, and
to give union and force to public opinion, held its second
sitting on Wednesday, at Holborn Bars, when it discussed
the nevssity of diminishing the immense and increasing
influence of the aristocracy. After a debate of three
hours, conducted with considerable ability and animation,
a resolution was carried to the effect—" That the aristo-
cracy had succeeded to the dangerous extent of power
enjol ed by the Crown in 1780; that this power, notwitb-
standiag the Reform 1311, increased, and was increasing,
and ought to be diminished." A petition, according with
the spirit of this resolution, is to be sent, it is understood,
to the Houseof Commune.
