passing of the Act all persons who shall have resided
in any of the metropolitan counties—Middlesex,
Hertford, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, or Essex—for six
calendar months, are to be within the jurisdiction of
the Insolvent Court, and, in other cases, of the
judge of the Small Debts Court within
whose district the insolvent shall have re-
sided for a like time. It is not stated
within what period previous to the filing of the peti-
tion that residence must have been, but it is plain
that the party must have been resident for six calen-
dar months within the district before his petition can
be entertained. The Acts now about to be amended
required residence for twelve months immediately
preceding the petition. The chief feature in the new
measure is, that every insolvent, whether possessed of
any property or otherwise, who has resided
ithin the jurisdiction for the period aforesaid,
may file his petition, and the court or such judge
is thereupon entitled forthwith to grant him an in-
terim order protecting him from arrest ; or if he
should be in custody at the time in execution, to
order his discharge on receiving an undertaking in
writing from the insolvent to attend the court on the
day appointed for his first examination, and on every
sitting day held in the matter of his petition, or at
any other time when required by the court or judge
so to do ; and every wilful breach of such undertaking
is to be a misdemeanour, , punishable by impri-
sonment, with or without hard labour. The court
or judge may at any time suspend or withdraw
this protection and again renew or suspend it at their
or his pleasure. This is a just and humane provi-
sion, and prevents the possibility of any person being
imprisoned to gratify the malevolence of a vindictive
creditor, unless his conduct shall appear to the satis.

A curious scene took place in the Chamber of
Deputies during the course of the debate on Satur-
day. The Minister of Finance presented a Bill for
legalising the contract entered into between the Go-
vernment and Messrs. Hsuoux and HUNDEL, for the
establishment of a steam-packet service between
Havre and New York. The Minister proceeded to
read the contract entered into between " His Excel-
lency the Minister of Finance and Messrs. IlEaoux
and HuNDEL." The word " Excellency " roused the
ire of the Republican party of the Chamber. Up
rose M. GLASS BIZOIN. "I have an observation of
some importance," said this Hon. Deputy, " to ad-
dress to the Chamber. I find in the preamble of the
agreement entered into with HEROUX and HVNDEL a
word that could only have crept in through inadver-
tence on the part of the Minister of Finance. In
this preamble I read these words : 'Between his Ex-
cellency the Minister of Finance.' Well ! Since
1830 we have had no Excellencies."—(A laugh.)
Hereupon several voices exclaimed, " The title of
Monseigneur has alone been suppressed ;" whereupon
M. GLASS .BIZOIN rejoined, "There are only Minis-
ters.—(Agitation.) I hope that no one here will
attempt to restore the word Excellency to the Par-
liamentary vocabulary." The Minister declared that
the word had been used by his predecessors, and that
he would continue its use; whereupon M. LIIER-
UETTE said; " I formally demand the omission of the
word, not because it is a word of insignificance in itself;
but because the use of such a word has a tendency to
revive the usages of a former regime. Recollect that
contemporaneously with the use of this expression

We published on Saturday, in eatenso, a letter
upon the Government Education scheme, written
by Mr. ROBERT Ecsurr, and addressed by him, on
behalf of the Committee of Privileges, to ministers of
the Wesleyan Association ; also the form of petition
recommended to be numerously signed by every con-
gregation over which they presided ; and likewise
the letter of Dr. KAY SIIITTTLEWORTII to Mr.
ECEETT, penned with the view of convincing this
gentleman and the Committee of Privileges that the
opinion they had formed of the nature of the plan
and of the intentions of the Government in respect to
education was completely erroneous. It is impos-
sible to suppose that any acting body of so influential
and highly respectable a class of religionists as the
Wesleyans could condescend to misrepresentation ;
but the documents before us afford a striking instance
of how men's judgments may become perverted by
looking at anything through a false medium. In the
present case, the bile noir of the Wesleyans has been
Government interference and patronage in matters
ecclesiastical or educational ; and so strong a hold
has the apprehension of such a result taken of their
minds, as apparently to have disabled them from dis-
passionately and calmly deliberating upon any scheme
that might be propounded for the intellectual culture
of the people. Who on earth could form a fair
opinion of the Government scheme from the repre-
sentation that " it will most extensively and dan-
gerously increase the patronage and power of the
Government and of the clergy of the Established
Church, by making the instructors of the masses of
the youthful population dependent upon the Govern-
ment for stipends, premiums, and pensions, and on
the clergy of the Establishment for certificates of
satisfactory conduct to enable them to obtain such
payments ?" Yet such is the actual description given
of the plan in the body of the petition, which nume-
rous congregations are to be invited to sign. The
description is erroneous in every particular. This is
rendered manifest in the able, temperate, and con-
clusive letter of Dr. SHUTTLEWORTIi, who establishes
that the proceedings of the Committee of Council on
Education have been strictly in keeping with the
principles and remarks which we put forward on this
subject on Saturday last2The letter of Dr. SHUTTLE-
WORTH comes most seasonably before the public. It
will serve to disarm suspicion and dissipate error.
It will prove that, by the plan proposed, civil and re-
ligious liberty will not be " insidiously assailed," and
that it is not to be apprehended that "the principles of bi-
gotry and hostility against all classes of Dissenters, and

a scene of agitation that the debate was ulti-
mately adjourned. There cannot, however, be
a doubt but that M. LHEREETTE is right.

praiseworthy," says this letter, " for the authorities
of a town or district to associate and advance money

duce alarm and consequent hoarding, and thus defeat

M. Guizot, and even of a still more influential person, have
not succeeded in overcoming Count Bresson's determination.
This resolution causes at this moment the more embarrass-
ment to the Government, as Count Bresson insists on the
performance of the promise formerly made to him of the
embassy to Rome or to Vienna."

IRISH WASTE LAND IMPROVE-
MENT SOCIETY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Si ,—By the report in The Sun of last night, of the
half-yearly meeting of proprietors of this society, held on
Saturday last, it is stated that the liabilities of the society
amount to 12,4611. 18s. ld., whereas the amount appearing
at the foot of the accounts, and read by me to the meeting,
viz., 12,461/. 15s. 3d. (not 12,4611. 18s. Id.), is that of the
society's assets,
after deducting its liabilities.
The error in thus substituting " liabilities " for "assets,"
being calculated to create much prejudice against the society,
I rely on your candour to insert this communication,—And
am, Sir, your very obedient servant,
FREDERICK FRY, Secretary.
The report was taken from a Sunday Paper.—[En. Sun]

AMERICAN NEWS.

FIFTEEN DAYS LATER.
ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

(FRO3I OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.
The Cambria steam ship arrived here from Boston
and Halifax this morning. Her passage was somewhat
protracted in consequence of the state of the weather.
Her dates are—New York, Feb. 27 ; Washington, 26 ;
New Orleans, 19 ; Boston, March 1; and Halifax, March
3. The news is important.
The commercial news taken out by the Cambria had
at first the effect of depressing the grain market, but
prices had again began to rise before she sailed for
Europe. A great decline had taken place in the price
of cotton subsequent to the arrival of the Sarah Sands
and the Cambria. Freights continued to be enormously
high.

As the state of the markets is to the English reader a
matter of the greatest importance, we prefer giving them
the most prominent place in our present report. The
following is the
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW TORY.—The markets continued steady for bread-
stuff:, with moderate transactions. There was some better
feeling in the flour market, and large sales of Genesee could
have been made without difficulty on the spot, at 7 dolls.
Sales deliverable in May, continued to be made at 6 dolls. It
was reported on 'change that some efforts had been made to
arrive at the probable stock cf flour in this market, and
that it was thought .that 120,000 barrels would cover all
in the city, including the stock in first bands, variously
estimated at 50,000 a 70,000 barrels, and the supplies held on
speculation with stocks in the hands of the milling and
retail trade. It must be borne in mind, however, that to
arrive at an exact estimate of the total amount of stock is
attended with much difficulty, and the above statement
may amount to something over the mark, or fall a little
short of it. Be this as it may, it is agreed upon all
hands, that the stock is very low compared with that of
last year at the same period, and :should the river remain
closed till late in the season, this fact would of
itself he sufficient to stiffen prices. The stock in Phila-
delphia and Baltimore is said to be good; but the
freights on it from those ports to New York cost about
50 cents per barrel, or more from the latter. Until the
canals open, large additional supplies cannot be expected
to arrive to replace the deficiencies, at any material re-
duction in the present cost of transportation. In wheat,
sales were chiefly confined to lots from the country, ad-
jacent to the city, at full prices. In corn, there was
less done, without change in prices, except that the
article was feeble at a dollar. Provisions were in less re-
quest, and small sales of prime pork were made at a decline
of 50 cents per barrel since the forepart of the week. Mess
ditto was offered in a small way, at a reduction of 25 cents
per barrel, without buyers. This decline was attributed to
increased tightness of money in Wall-street. In beef, the
market was firm, while in lard and other descriptions of pro-
visions there was no change. Groceries continue steady at
previous rates.
PROVISIONS.—Under the reported influence of some in-
creased pressure in the money market, the prices of pork
gave way, and we report sales of 200 barrels of prime at
12 dolls. 50 cents ; and a small lot of mess was offered at 14
dolls. 75 cents, without finding a purchaser. Beef, we re-
port a sale of 100 barrels of country mess, at 12 dolls. Lard
continued steady at lojf cents for old, and 11 cents for new,
but we heard of no sales. There was no change in cheese
or butter. No large sales of smoked or pickled meats were
reported.
RlCE.—High rates still acted as a check upon operations.
Last sales of good to prime were made at 4 dolls. 47i cents to
4 dolls. 75 cents. Fancy qualities were held at 5 dolls., with
small sales.
BOSTON, Fes. 25, r AL—Flour Good common brands
Genesee are held at 6 dolls 87 cents to 7 dolls per barrel,
and stock in first hands comparatively light ; the receipts per
railroad have materially fallen off since the late snow storm.
Fancy brands, there is a better supply. Corn—Very little
doing; yellow round at railroad was sold this morning at
1 doll; ditto flat is worth 94 cents to 95 cents per bushel,
measure. February 26—Since the first of January there have
been exported from this port to Europe, (principally
Ireland) ten thousand nine hundred and sixteen barrels
of flour, one hundred and sixty-five thousand and five
hundred and eleven 'bushels of corn, and twelve hundred
barrels of corn meal. For the quarter ending December 31,
there was exported from this port, thirty-eight thousand
six hundred and seventeen barrels of floor, one hundred and
seven thousand and forty-one bushels of corn, eight hundred
and forty-one bushels Indian meal, and nine hundred bushels
of rye, the value of which was 303,361 dols. In addition to
the above, three barks cleared this morning for Europe, via.,
the Attica, for Cork ; the Hannah Thornton, for Galaway ;
and the Angola, for Liverpool, with fifty-one thousand five
hundred and seventy-seven bushels of corn, two thousand
one hundred ditto rye, five hundred barrels of flour, and five
hundred ditto corn meal.
PHMADELPIIIA, FEB. 24.—The sales of flour since yes-
terday embrace, in all, about 3,000 barrels mixed brands, at
5 dels. 75 cents, mostly taken on speculation. This price has
since been refused, and 6 dolls. asked by sonic factors.
Corn Meal.—A sale of 600 barrels is reported at 4 dolls. 62ic.
and 4 dolls. 50 cents has been refused for large parcels.
Wheat.—No sales. Corn.—We notice sales of 2,000 bushels
Pennsylvania yellow at 85 to 87 cents, the latter by weight;
most holders are asking 90 cents.
CINCINNATI, WEB. 20.—Prices, if anything, were a shade
lower yesterday. Something over 2,ooo,barrels were sold, the
largest lot not exceeding 200 barrels at 4 dolls. 65 cents to
4 dolls. 80 cents delivered, mostly at 4 dolls. 70 cents to
4 dolls. 75 cents. The stock is evidently accumulating in
store, with continued liberal receipts.
BALTISLOZE, FEB. 26.—1 n Howard-street Flour the sales
are quite limited. Late yesterday afternoon 200 brrls. were
cold at 5 dolls. 87% cents, and 400 brrls. to-day at the same
rate. Holders generally are asking 6 dolls. The receipt
price is unsettled. Holders of City Mills ask 6 dolls. Several
offers to purchase to-day at 5 dolls. 87% cents were refused.
A sale of 500 brrls. Susquehanna Flourat 5 dolls. 87% cents,
now held at 6 dolls. Small sales of prime Maryland red
Wheats at 120 to 122 cents. Te-day there is a little better
feeling in the market for Corn, and we note sales of Maly-
land et 80 to 81 cents. for white, and 82 to 83 cents for
yellow. A sale to-day of Pennsylvania yellow at 85 cents.
Oats are wanted and would bring 40 cents.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 18.—The old story of an express in
town with later European news was started again yesterday,
and the unusually heavy business in bread stuffs certainly
gave a colouring of probability to it. A reference to our
commercial column will show the extent of the transactions.
The sales of flour ran up to nearly 33,000 barrels, early in
the day at 5 dols. 90 cents. for Ohio brands, though later
6 dols. 25 cents. and 6 dols. 3715t,1 cents. per barrel were paid.
Corn, too, went off briskly. Exporters took about 80,000
bushels, mostly at 1 doll. per bushel, which was freely offered
to the close. Hardly anything was done in Cotton, the sales
not exceeding 1,200 bales at easier prices.
ALBANY, Feb. 25.—Flour—The only transactions of mo-
ment we hear of to-day, is a lot of 575 barrels Oswega, at
6 dolls. 311% cents.; a small lot of Genesee from western
wheat was sold at 6 dolls. 371/ cents. Holders of
good brands flour are firm at 6 dolls. 50 cents.
Eastern orders and small sales from store at
6 dolls 62i cents. Grain—Time receipts of produce continue
as large as ever, and prices are better. Oats 40 cents. Rye
83 to 84 cents. Corn 83 to 84 cents. Barley 63 to 66 cents.
The sale reported yesterday was 6,000 bushels corn and 6,000
ditto barley, not rye, at 67 cents, to arrive within 20 days of
time openieg of the canal. Provisions—Pork arrives but in
small lots, and sells at 6 dolls. 50 cents to 7 dolls., according
to quality. A lot of 3,500 lbs. lard, an extra article, is in
market ac the high mark of 14 cents. Whiskey—No sales.
BOSTON, FEB. 25.—The schooner Joshua Brown, 112 tons,
of Provincetown, was chartered to-day, to load with corn
for Cork, Ireland, direct.
PITTSBURG, FEB. 22.—Declined on Saturday. Our dealers
appear to know what news the Cambria will bring. Sales of
175 brrls. very prime, early in the day, at 4 dolls. 50 cents;
200 ditto at 4 dolls. 25 cents to 4 dolls. 37 cents; 30 ditto at
4 dolls. 37 cents; 300 ditto at 4 dolls. 25 cents; these sales
were principally on the wharf. The sales from waggons
were a shade above this, mostly at 4 dolls. 31 cents. to
4 dolls. 37 cents. Corn—Continues firm, with sales of 300
bushels at 40 cents.
A New York paper of Feb. 27 thus sums up the political
intelligence:— •
From Mexico, we have to-day—or rather from a por-
tion of it, which is the actual seat of war—some inter-
esting intelligence, though not of any decisive impor-
tance. An outpost of American volunteer cavalry had
been surprised and captured in advance of SFaltillo and an
officer of the regular army (Lieutenant Ritchie) with an
escort of ten dragoons, bearing dispatches from General Scott
at Brazos Santiago, to General Taylor, at Monterey, had been
cut off.
By arrivals at New Orleans, we have Tampico dates to the
Bth instant, Brazos to the 6th instant, relantamoras to the sth,
Carmnargo and Vera Cruz dates to the 2d instant, the city of
Mexico to the 29th ult.
A detachment, composed of 80 Kentucky and Arkansas
cavalry, was cut off when thirty miles beyond Saltillo, by
General Minon. They formed an outpost, and were sur-
prised and taken prisoners without resistance.
Major Borland, C. M. Clay, and Major Gaines were cap-
tured.
A transport, also, with a regiment of Mississippi volun-
teers, under command of Colonel De Rutsev, was wrecked
off the coast of Mexico, near Tampico. The survivors of
the regiment—the weater part, as is hoped—on reaching the
land, were soon attacked by a superior Mexican force; and
at the last accounts the result of the contest was unknown.
On hearing the particulars of the shipwreck, General Patter-
son, commanding at Tampico, dispatched a brigade to ex-
tricate this regiment.
In time interior, a portion of General Kearney's command
probably the regiment of Missouri volunteers, has seized the
Passo del Norte after a a severe conflict—this opens to the
city of Chihuahua.
The dates from Vera Cruz are to the 2d instant, when all
efforts were making to be in condition to resist the appre-
hended attack. From San Luis de Potosi, the dates are to
the 25th instant, when Santa Anna was still there, and
Vera Cruz accounts of the 2d represent that he was
to march thence in a few days towards Tula. Disorgani-
zation and want pervade the Mexican forces. Time law
exacting 15 millions from the property of the clergy was a
dead letter.
In Congress nothing is yet decided as to the three million
Bill, nor as to the Bill for increasing the revenue, and yet on
Wednesday next this body must adjourn by constitutional
limitation. There seems little probability that any change
should be made in the tariff—although rumour states that
the administration party had held a caucus, at which it was
resolved to grant the duty asked by the Secretary of the
Treasury on tea and coffee. We are still incredulous about
the possible success of that measure.
The rumoured assassination of Santa Anna turns out to be
unfounded. Last accounts state that he left for Tula, ht the
head of the main body of forces.
General La Vega had been appointed to command Vera
Cruz
