THE MARK ETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, rn 5.
The arrivals of all descriptions of grain last week were only
moderate : this morning there are not many samples of Wheat,
Barley, Beans, Pease, fresh in from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk.
—There are but few vessels fresh up with Oats this morning.-
--Our millers confine their attention to prime dry samples
of Wheat, and such parcels have sold pretty freely, and
have rather exceeded the last quotations; but the damp sorts
remain nearly unsaleable. Barley is in fair demand, at Is. to
2s. per quarter advance on the terms of this day se'nnight,-
Beans are sought after to-day, and they are also Is. per quarter
dearer. Boiling Peas are without alteration ; Grey Peas are
rather dearer. There has been tolerably free sale tor Oats this
morning, and the prices of this day se'nnight are fully sup.
ported. The Flour trade continues dull.

[THE TIMES.I
It is, perhaps, but a partial degree' of regret
which we feel that the Alien Bill is to be re-
newed, for the debate on the subject has excited
such attention, that we should apprehend the act
c4nnot be much abused in the execution. Still it
is a lamentable thing to see a public measure car-
ried in_ this country, simply to humour the policy
of the arbitrary Governments abroad ; and that
such is the case with respect to this odious bill is
unquestionable ; for do we dread the operations
of Aliens residing in this country upon our tran-
quillity ? If not, the measure must have refer-
ence to the security of other States. Besides,
when the Foreign Secretary deprecated the conti-
nuance of this bill beyond two years, he most
undoubtedly condemned its present enactment.—
What can possibly arise upon the Continent in the
space of two years, to render its state less liable
to perturbation by the free admission of foreigners
into England, than at present ? A certain Right
lion. Gentleman's speeches must always keep
his friends upon the very tenter-hooks of anxiety.
Poor Lord Londonderry's untangible nonsense,
which left nothing to dread, being unassailable
at all points, did so much better. The speech
of Friday night was more wanton and flighty
than usual. Athens, Sparta, Rome, England !
By the way, when the account was given of the
jealousy with which foreigners were treated in
the States of Greece, whence was it that the fact
of benches set apart for their reception in
the theatres was not related ? The story of the
old man, in whose case the Spartans practised
and the Athenians approved good manners,—was
that forgotten ? The truth is, that the States of
Greece always gave admission to foreign refugees.

We learn with pleasure that Government is
likely to interfere for the relief of the emi-
grant Spaniards now in this country, by some
mode less precarious than the bounty of
private individuals, which, however liberally
bestowed in the first instance, 'is now nearly
exhausted. The sum remaining to be dis-
tributed by the Committee, does not, we under-
stand, exceed 2,0001., and from that sum more
than 150 persons are receiving small sums of from
15s. to 20s. weekly ; but which stipend, unless
new means are devised, must soon cease, and
leave them exposed to all the horrors of destitu-
tion in a foreign country. As this number in-
chides nearly the whole of the Constitutional
Emigrants in London who are quite without the
means of support, the expellee of providing for
them cannot he among the started to
any project for that purpose.—(Bid.)

[MORNING cup.oxicLE.]
The individuals who are to compose the Court
of Chancery Commission of Inquiry, are at length
all named. They are, the Lord Chancellor, Eidson,
—Lord Redesdale,—Lord Colchester,—Lord
Gifford,—Sir John Leach,—Dr. Lushington,—
Mr.Wm.Courney,—Mr. Tindal,—Mr. Littleda le,
—Mr. Cox,—Mr. t. Smyth.—The result of the
labours of a Commission, of which a majority are
either devoted friends of the Lord Chancellor,
or particularly connected with the system, which
forms the subject of inquiry, we do not pretend
to anticipate. We acknowledge, however, that
we have our fears, notwithstanding some of the
individuals named rank deservedly high in the
general estimation, and are known to possess an
uncompromising firmness of character—That
these individuals will endeavour to probe the
evil to the bottom, we do not doubt ; but will
they be allowed to give effect to their good in-
tentions ? The public, however, have so far
grounds of confidence, that as there are indivi-
duals on the Commission, who most assuredly
will not lend themselves to any attempt to pre-
vent the inquiry from being effective, in justice
to their own characters, they will seize the very
first opportunity of setting the people right with
respect to their expectations, should any other
than a straight-forward course be pursued. Even
the presence of the Lord Chancellor will, we are
satisfied, have no influence on their resolves, how
much so ever, it may prevent others from exhibit-
ing the same firmness.

[NEW Times.]
The British Funds advanced nearly one half
per cent. on Saturday, and the circumstance of
money continuing so abundant leads to the ex-
pectation that they will be much higher. Not-
withstanding the large amount invested, and
about to be invested in Foreign Securities, the
preference given to the British Securities is ob-
vious from the high premiums which India Bonds
and Exchequer Bills bear at the present period ;
premium on the former being 86, and on
the latter 56. Consols for Account ending
the .9th inst. were 9582, and for the ensuing ac-
count 96.—The large differences to be adjusted
Upon the late advance in Colombian Bonds is the
chief object of attention in theForeignMarket.and
some individuals complain of the manner in which
Mr. Hurtado has proceeded upon the occasion.
Efforts indeed are making to set aside the time-
bargains done in these Bonds, but it is sup-
posed that they will not succeed. The last
price of the Bonds on Saturday was 84.1.—
The new Assurance Company and the new Co-
lombian Loan are both expected to - make their
appearance in the- course of a few days. The
shares in the Alliance Company were about 15
premium. Owing to some delay in .the prepara-
tion of certain documents for the transfers in
these Shares, little business has been done in
them for the last few days, but they are expected
to recover their previous prices upon the arrange-
being complete. fir Spanish Bonds little
business was done, and the prices were nominally
191 for the Old, and 17 for the New Bonds.

[I3IIITISII PRESS.]
The French Papers of Friday and Saturday
-reached .0111- office last night. There is nothing
of any -leading interest in their columns. The
faction of pure royalists, congregated from the
different Electoral Colleges throughout France,:

assembled in their cc Bureau " on Friday to dis-
cuss the Address. On Saturday it was to go
through the mockery of a public discussion in
the Chamber, where an Address of the same
character as Louis XV. received from his
Parliaments, was probably voted to the in-
corruptible Conservators of the Charter of
France. On to-day Villele and his asso-
ciates were to propose to the Chamber four
projets of law, to which, as far as numbers
go, no opposition, from the present arrangements
made, could be apprehended. The first will be
relative to the septennial duration of the Cham-
bers ; the second to the accounts for 182.2 ; the
third on the revenue and expenditure of 1823 ;
and the fourth on the great question of the re-
duction of the National Debt to four per cent.,
now in actual treaty with the capitalists, from
this country, and M. Latitte, the great Paris
banker, who was ousted by ministerial influence
from his seat hi the Chamber. The proposition
for an indemnity to the emigrants, that
piojet of law, the minister adds, in the
words of Louis's speech, which is to close
the great wound of the Revolution,—will
not be presented to the packed Chamber until
after the law for the settlement of the Na-
tional Debt of France is arranged. The French
Cabinet have taken care to make " assurance
doubly sure " in the present Chamber. A few
may question the policy of the measures proposed,
and raise their feeble voices against a large debt
being incurred for the indemnification of the
worthless emigrants who have outlived the Re-
volution ; but they will be clamoured down, and
outvoted by hundreds; overwhelming majorities
will carry every thing the French Ministers may
propose, however burdensome and repugnant to
the country at large : any discussion will be a
mere mockery.

[MORNING POST.]
The length of our Parliamentary Reports pre-
vented us from noticing the relinquishment of the
project for establishing a " Chamber of Commerce
for the City of London." Government most
wisely set its face against the scheme on nearly
the precise grounds upon which we at the first ob-
jected to such an Institution in the Metropolis ;
and to this, together with the opposition ex-
pressed by the disinterested part of the public,
we owe the abandonment of the plan for the pre-
sent. We shall not therefore dwell on all the
evils with which such a project appears to us to
be fraught, but only repeat that it would be estab-
lishing a sort of Commercial Parliament in the
City, of which the other Chambers of Com-
merce throughout the United Kingdom would
become dependent branches, and, by this
means, that a sort of imperium iii imperio
would arise, fearfully detrimental to the general
interests of the State. We should then have the
Great Council of the Nation sitting at Westmin-
ster, and the Great Council of Merchants sitting
in the City, with its feelers extended to all the
principal cities and towns of Great-Britain and
Ireland, and all its concentrated efforts tending
to clog the operations of Government, and to
convert the first Nation in the world into a com-
munity of the merest traders. The advocates,
however, of a Chamber of Commerce in London,
very prudently blink these considerations—they
have no plan in their prospectus—but a careful
enumeration is made of all the probable advan-
tages which individuals might obtain by having
their particular grievances laid before Govern-
ment, by and in the name of an Association of
this description. Now one fact is enveloped un-
der these specious pretences which deserves most
serious attention—namely, that the originators
and planners of a Chamber of Commerce in Lon-
don are all men who never have felt, and in all
probability never can feel, the inconveniences
which they assert would be avoided by that
establishment. They have each, more or less,
constant communication with his Majesty's
'Ministers, or the Legislature, and in the nature
of things never allow themselves to suffer from
want of complaint, or entreaty. What then is
their object in forming a Chamber of Commerce--
the benevolent, patriotic, and disinterested
anxiety of"-obtaining redress for the grievances
of other S—of inferior, inconsequential Commer-
cial men 2 We fear this excuse will not be easily
admitted. Where is the individual in London
who has not the readiest access to Government
In short the whole scheme is without a reason-
able:ground to rest on.

[MORNING HERALD.]
We gave on Friday an account of a Meeting
which was held in the City for the purpose of con-
sidering whether it would not be good for London
to have a Chamber of COmmerce. We were much
pleased to read Lord Liverpool's letter, throwing
cold water on the proposition. his Lordship very
justly observed, that though there might be
some reason for Chambers of Commerce in towns
at a distance from the capital, yet there could
be no necessity for them in the capital itself,
for that whenever any one was disposed to state
what he thought proper on the subject of com-
merce to Ministers, the latter were ready to hear
him. For our part, we have for years been
writing against those sort of institutions—we
know that, in general, they are made up of hum-
bug. In the. first instance, the parties meet
in considerable numbers, and real business is
transacted ; and the public voice is toler-
ably well ascertained, as far as the interest
of a particular trade, or a particular town or
-district, is concerned ; but after a time the
members composing such Chambers get weary of
attending ; the consequence is, hat the- business
is left to two or three, who meet and do just
whatever may suit their own particular advan-
tage. Often the busineSs of those Chambers
gets into the hands of the salaried Secretary—
for, generally, these things have their origin
in some one who wishes to become Secre-
tary. We do not like these Legislative Assem-
blies. They become, in time corrupt and.
arbitrary.' In this country there is too much,;
and not too little legislation. We would rather
get rid of much of the legislation now in exist-'
ence, .than add to 'it by 'the introduction of more
of those petty Aristocracies. Besides, they may
become dangerous to the Got eminent. If the
