'Madrid Papers of the 2d hist. have come to

hand, but they do not bring a syllable of news of
any interest. There was but little business doing
on the Bourse. The Five per Cents. were nego-
tiated at 28 13-16 at sixty days without premium,
and 291 at fifty days with 1 premium.

made to the House of Commons of the amount
of salaries paid to the Judges, Commissioners,
and officers of this Court, and also the amount
of compensations to those superseded by the
New Bankruptcy Act. The total amount of sa-
laries is 20,570,1381., of this Sir John Cross and
Sir George Evans, the Judges, receive 2,0001.

registrars 8001. each, six deputy registrars 6001.
each, one deputy registrar 370/. 13s. Bd., the Se-
cretary of Bankruptcy (Mr. W. Vizard ) 1,2004.
his first clerk 500/., and the second 3001.; the
compensations amount to 12,993/. 10s. 11d. Of
this the late fifteen Commissioners receive about
2001. each, Chaff Wax (J. Holdship) 5681., Clerk
of Hanaper (Rev. T. Thurlow) 484/. 16s. 9d., and
Lord Thurlow himself, as patentee of bankrupts,

THE RELIGIOUS PORTION OF THE BRITISH
PEOPLE is said by the Standard to be faithfully
represented by Sir Robert Inglis. We are afraid
that our over-zealous Contemporary was not
under the influence of his habitual caution when
he wrote that sentence. If Sir Robert be the
representative of the religious portion of the
British people, the irreligious portion must be
represented by the opponents of Sir Robert in
Parliament. Now, of the Members who voted
on Wednesday evening on the Jewish Declara-
tion Bill, Sir Robert and his friends constituted
about one-sixth part, and, according to the
Standard, therefore, the religious portion of the
British people are only one-sixth of the whole.
It would be better for the Standard to give up
Sir Robert, and give up the cause he espoused
on Wednesday night, than to restrict the re-
ligious party to so small a proportion. If for
" the religious portion of the British public" we
read " the bigoted portion," we shall be in
accord with the Standard, and ready to concede
that about one-sixth of the British people ac-
knowledge as their representative the Member
for Oxford.

Thero were no arrivals all day with any news of the least
public interest, but the overland came to band in greater
detail.
The Funds were in a depressed condition, and gave way

compared with the highest value of the day, or / per cent.
on the opening price of yesterday. Consols for money
brought 88 to 871, closing at a decline to 87i it-, and for
the account the highest prices were 88i, and the latest
871 to Exchequer Bills were marked 83. to 10s. prem. ;

It is understood that Sir George Arthur will remain at Toronto
until the middle of March, exercising the same powers as
before the Union, under a commission from the Governor-
General, which the Imperial Act authorises him to depute.
Some excitement appears to prevail at Toronto upon the
subject of the seat of Government for the United Province
being fixed at Kingston.
By accounts from Havannah to the 28th of January it appears
that for many years there has not prevailed so great a drought
as at the present season of the year.

date :

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM AIARCH B.—Although the
national funds have not entirely recovered from the fall of yes-
terday, still they are more firm in their prices. A great deal
of business has been done in the Integrals, which were sought
after. The Actives of the Society of Commerce have im-
proved %to 3/4 per cent. Ardoin's Spanish remains at 21i a
13-Ifiths ; Coupons, 214.
Accounts from Christiana state that a tempest occurred on
the Eastern ecii:st of Norway, which has caused immense disas-
ters and twentships, who were fishing, have perished.
FROM THE FRONTIERS or RUSSIA, FEB. 24.—According
to the intelligence from St. Petersburgh, they do not doubt
that the Russian Government vii I be obliged to make a new
loan, as the finances are in abad state. They give, as a mo-•
tive for this situation, the expedition to Khiva, as well as that
against the Circassians, and the equipment of the fleet in the
Black Sea. At Moscow, for example, there has been more
than 200 failures, which is also in a state of complete stagna-
tion, owing to the bad crops for the last two years.
