THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The shortness of the arrivals of Grain this week have occa-
sioned the buyers to do very little business, and the trade for
every article may be reported dull, at the terms of Monday last.
No improvement in the sale of Flour, although the stock is small.

The market presented a more animated appearance than of
late ; the supp;y being large the trade was considerably better.

The Morning Chronicle of this day observes, with re-
ference to Sir J. Y. Buller's late motion in the Commons :
Uur Tory Contemporaries seem unable to quiet them-
selves, or to feel that they have satisfied their readers,
about the discussion and division of last week. They
return to the subject again and again ; they turn it round
and round; they strenuously endeavour to get out of it
some atom of consolation and stimulus. It is hard as a
rock to all their squeezing, and every effort only makes
them more ill at ease. They had better give over, and
leave it alone. Nothing can be made of it but the plain
fact, that the consequence hes been to strengthen
the Administration, and put Toryism inte a condition
more forlorn and disgraceful than ever." The Times,
in a leading article suggested by the recent discus-
sions in the Lords on Socialism, remarks as follows :
" That the public good, however, will be considera-
bly promoted by these discussions must be evident, we
think, to every reflecting mind, both because her Ma.
jesty's Ministers have thereby been forced to commit at
least one case of Socialist delinquency into the hands of
the Attorney-General, and because, from a calm consider-
ation of the sentiments deliberately uttered by Lords
Melbourne and Normanby on Tuesday evening, the country
will see with increased indignation the utter unfitness of
those Noblemen for the high situation which they disho-
nour."—The Morning Advertiser thus recurs to the late
" no confidence" motion in the House of Commons :
" One most valuable result of this debate has been to set
the question of Chartism at rest, in the opinion of all rea-
sonable men. Not only did all the attempts of the Tories
to make the Ministry responsible for Chartist agitation
signally fail, but the charges of patronizing demagogues
and encouraging sedition, recoiled on their own heads."—
The Morning Post speaks in the following terms on the
subject of Mr Ward's vote on the late " no confidence"
motion :—" The motion before the House was, that the
House had not confidence in the Ministry, land Mr. Ward
avowed that his opinion was the same as when be charged
the Ministry with having been guilty of the basest act of po-
litical tergiversation he had ever known. How then could Mr.
Ward honestly vote that he had confidence in this Ministry ?
He says that he could not vote confidence in the gentlemen
opposite. That was not the question. No one asked him
to do so. He might have voted that the Ministry was un-
worthy of confidence, and he then might have voted that
the gentlemen opposite were unworthy of confidence.
This would have been the part of an honest and consistent
public man." The Morning Herald, alluding to the re-
moval of the Chartist rioters from Monmouth Gaol, says :
—" Is public justice afraid to show itself in the face of day,
for this removal took place at the dead of night, or was
there another object for hurrying them out of the country,
connected with an apprehended discussion in Parliament
of the point of law ?—lf the point of law be good, the pri.
soners ought no more to be transported than hanged ?*

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW&

CITY, TWELVX O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKE.T, THURSDAY.—The sales
this day are 4000 bales at steady prices.
The New York packet-ship Louis Phillippe has arrived at
Havre, sailed on the 18th of January, brings a distressing ac-
count of the loss by fire of the Lexington steamer, going from
New York to Boston, having on board one hundred and seventy-
five passengers ; all the efforts of the captain to save the above
vessel was useless, and we are sorry to announce that all on
beard, with the exception of three, perished.
In respect to commercial affairs there was a tolerable busi-
ness done in Stocks on the 17th, but the prieesireceded, with
the exception of the United States Bank Shares, which were
done from 84i to 841.
We have to relate that another steamer took fire. The
Belle of Messaurie, going from New Orleans to Saint Louis,
which took place on the 2.5 th of December, in the evening.
' The flames burst with such rapidity that the passengers had
scarce time to save themselves, being obliged to abandon all
their baggage ; in all probability the Whole on board would
have perished had not the vessel been near the shore when the
fire took place. A few minutes after the alarm was given the
names communicated to a great quantity of gunpowder on board.
The explosion was dreadful, and the vessel went to pieces.
The only arrival this morning worth notice is the express
from Paris, which brings an account from Havre of the arrival
there of the French packet from New York, which sailed on the
18th January, four days later than our last arrival from the
above port.

ROUSE OF LORDS, Fgz. 6.
The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The
peers in attendance were, the Lord Chancellor, the Mar-
quis of Ormide, and Earl Howe.

?LOWDEN V. THORPE.
The LORD CHANCRLLnE gave final judgment to-day in
:his cue which was argued before the House a short time
I.noe, The case came before their Lordships upon appeal
from the decision of Mr. Baron Alderson directing an
account to be taken of the tithes which the appellant was
bound to pay to the respondents. On a former day his
Lordship lead expressed a strong opinion that the judg-
.,:ent below should be reversed, but ho refrained from
,iving his final judgment until he had ascertained the view
taken by Lord Brougham, who had also heard the case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR this morning stated that Lord
3rougham, who had also heard the case, entertained the
—vale opinion as himself, and therefore the judgment would
that the decision of the Court below should be reversed
4,ith costs.
Judgment reversed.

The further arguments on this appeal were then pro-
, eded with ; but, not having concluded at four o'clock,
,e further consideration of the case was adjourned to

A ~
eciari ling to letters from Dresden of the latter
end of Jan nary, a project of law had been laid before the Le-
gtslati ire, by order of the Government, for establishing- in
Saxe ny a .new system of weights and measures, based on the
sam• e principle of the unities as that which obtains in France,
and i admitt ng only decimal divisions. The proposition is said
to have bee n received favourably, and it was not doubted would
IY carried i nto effect. It is noticed in the French tapers that
7. similar ch ange is talked of in this country. Itil ism also men-
tioned tfi;at.. it was in agitation at length to melt down all the
copper and debased coinage of France, the necessity for which
becomes .n- sore urgent every day since the decimal system was

HER MAJESTY S MARRIAGE.—It is passing
strange th at whilst the neighbouring towns are holding meet-
ings to c onsider the most proper manner of expressing their
joyful fee lings on the occasion of her Majesty's nuptials, that

plan will be put in force to allow the public generally, and
poorer cl: asses in particular, to demonstrate the loyalty of their
feelings c al the happy occasion ; and we beg to suggest that a
general ' illumination take place on the occasion, as the esta-
blished e xpression from time immemorial of English rejoicing.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Q UEEN-SQUARE. 1
IMPORTANT DLCISION.--Mr. Tuck, coal merchant, of
Pimlico, yesterday attended at this office to hear the deci-
sion of the Magistrate, on a charge which had been pre-
ferred by Lord Listowel against him, for having sent sacks
of coals deficient in weight.
On the 24th ult. a waggon-load of coals was drawn up
to his Lordship's residence, and a ticket given in of seven
tons, in seventy sacks of 2241b5. each. Best, the butler,
desired that a sack of the coals might be weighed ; and on
its being put on the machine, it was short of the weight,
as were also the five next following. The carman then
threw another sack on the machine with so nuch violence
as to break it. As the butler was determined to weigh the
remainder, he was told that another weighing machine
would be brought with the second waggon; but on the ap-
pearance of that team within e 0 or 100 yards of th• house,
it was drive❑ assay, and no more of the coals shot.
In answer to this, it was set up that Lord Listowel bad
been recommended to have a room of coals, and had as-
sented to the proposal ; that it was not necessary to weigh
where coals were supplied in bulk ; and that the ticket had
Leen made out through the carelessness and inattention of
the desk. Three witnesses were called to prove that a
roora of coals was sent, and that, as far as regarded the
weighinc, there were but two sacks abort instead of six.
GREGORIE dismissed the case, on the objection that
his Lordship's servant was not a witruss within the mean-
ing of the Act, but declined giving any opinion as to the
offence; or the answer set up.

ROLLS' UOURT.-(THIS DAY.)

---,
The Master of the Rolls having disposed of the consent
petitions, heard causes.

CLESS D. DC:MPH:UE.3
The plaintiff in this case was the driver of a \Vantage
stage coach, and the defendant, his brother-in-law, carried
on business as a draper. Tha plaintiff's case was that in
January, 1830, the defendant Humphries became desirous
of purchasing a small shop in \Vantage, but not being
able to pay the purchase money, 1671. 10., he
borrowed 150/• of the plaintiff, upon ,an agreement
to deposit t title-deeds of the house with the plaintiff.
The 1501. arcs advanced, the estate was conveyed to the
pl.-lint& by indenture, dated-Jan. 2.•, 1830, and the ti.le
deeds were handed to the plaintiff. On a subsequent oc-
casion, flenqi.ries was desirous of voting at an election
for t, e t aunty of Berks, and applied for the deeds, as
the re was to be a scrutiny. The wife of the
allow. d him to has'; them, and they remained in his pos.
session for. sonic time. The mother of the wives •
of the plaintiff and defendant remonstrated
Humphries for not returning the 'deeds, and stated
that her daughter would get into trouble with her husband
for parting wit!: them. The defendant then returned
them, and they had continued in the possession of the
:-Ituntiff ever since. The plaintiff had several times up.
plied for his money, but it not bring forthcoming he filed
the present bill to have relief upon his equitable mot t-
gage. The defendant by his answer denied that he ever
borrowed the 150/. from the plaintiff at all, but stated that
the wife of the plaintiff, who formerly carried on the busi-
lie33 of a milliner, had sold that business to his wife, and
that the 1501. was advanced to her without any cognisance
on his part, and that the way the plaintiff got possession of
the deeds was that he (the defendant) -wishing to consult
his attorney upon his right to a privy, sent them to Lon-
don by the plaintiff, who had never returned them.
Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. HALLETT appeared for the
plaintiff, but while the latter gentleman was reading the
evidence in support of the bill,
Mr. KINDERLEY, having consulted with his junior, Mr.
SIDEBriTTOM, admitted the plaintiff's evidence was too
strong for them to contend against, and a Decree was
therefore made in favour of the plaintiff.
Tire remainder of the causes in the Paper having been
got through, the Court rose at half-past one o'clock.

PEKING.

A spirit of discontent and rebellion has gained cohsi-
derably upon the inhabitants of the capital, and given rise
to the establishment of numerous illegal associations and
brotherhoods in the very precincts of the palace. The
report of this state of things does not proceed from the
pencil of a misanthrope, but from the Court itself, and
may therefore be considered as by no means exaggerated.
Defiance of the constituted authorities, robbery in open
daylight, and excesses of every description are the imme-
diate consequences. The inference we must draw from
this is, that the Supreme Government is either too
weak to oppose effective restraint, or that the police is
leagued with the outlaws. After much search five per-
sons have been discovered who bad joined them-
selves by an oath, besmearing their mouths and swear-
ing eternal fidelity to each other. Though th,y are
guilty of no ether crime, they have been delivered over
to the tribunal of punishment, to be dealt with aceardin,„a to
the law, which denounces proceedings. The Imperial-
tombs have been again violated, much to the grief of old
Tacilkwonv,. Little as we know about the Celestial
Court, tliJru seems to be much agitation amongst the
dense population. At Monkden, the second capital, mat-
ters are by no means better, as the translation of the fo!_
!owing, edict will show. The riots there have been worse
than nt Birmingham, but Celestial justice is summary._

It will be clear from an inspection of this table, that
it would cost each passenger between Lancaster and
Carlisle about 4s. more on every journey by the coast
route than by either of the inland lines, besides the loss
of nearly one hour in time.

For these reasons, as far as regards the communica-
tion between England and Scotland, which i 3 the great
object of our inquiry, we consider it to be our duty to
give the preference to one of the inland lines.

it has, we know, been stated by the supporters of the
coast line, that the profit to be expected from the sale
of the land to be reclaimed by means of the embank-
ments, would so far reduce the average cost per mile,
that this line might compete in respect of fare, with
the inland line ; to this, however, we cannot assent.
Of the 941- miles between Lancaster and Carlisle
28 miles belong to the Maryport and Carlisle Railway
Company. The toll on this, as an independent line,
must be paid in full ; and, therefore, to reduce the
whole fare to that of the inland line, the remaining 662
miles of the coast line must be charged for at a rate
not higher than the remaining 364 or 402 miles of the
inland lines, after deducting 28 miles to correspond with
the Maryport and Carlisle Railway. The fare, there-
fore, to make the two lines equal in expense to the tra-
veller, must be no more on the 664 miles of coast
line than on the 361 or 402, miles of the in-
land line. Now, on lines of medium traffic, the
working expenses generally amount to about half the
receipts, as before stated, and on lines of light traffic
these expenses bear a still higher ratio ; it is, there-
fore, we conceive, quite impossible, with the income de-
rivable from to 41:4 miles on a line of moderate
traffic, to leave a fair dividend for shareholders, and
pay the expenses of working 662 miles of railway ; or
supposing even that the Maryport Company should
agree to participate in this reduction, we still think, that
the expenses of working the 94 miles of the coast line
could not be paid out of the fares due to the 64 or 68
wiles of the inland line, and still leave to the share-
holders such prospect of a dividend as would induce
the public, with a lair statement of facts before them,
to enter into the proposed speculation.
Therefore, whatever success might attend the at-
tempt to reclaim land in Morecambe Bay and the Dud-
den, the traveller would unquestionably be a loser by
the adoption of the coast line ; amlif,notiviLlisbtaannkgil-.ini,g
the apparent practicability of the proposed
operations, these should fail, nothing 'tees than ruin
could attend the coast line railway,
As regards the communication between London and
Manchester, via Csrlisle, with Glasgow, there can be no
question, from what has been stated, that the prefe-
rence ought to be given to one of the inland lines ; but
it must also be admitted that the coast line would cffer
greater facilities for communicating with Belfast an the
north of Ireland,

TREE.—This memorable tree,
44UEEN MA RYS
which has braved the blasts of centuries, yielded to the fury of
the gale on Monday last. It stood at the east end of the vil-
lage of Duddingstone, about two miles from Edinburgh, and
nearly Opposite Lord Abercorn's gate. It was perhaps one a
the oldest thorn trees in Scotland, and of the greatest dimen-
sions. Its exact measurement we do not at present recollect,
but we know, that two men embracing its trunk, at opposite
sides, could not make their hands to meet. It was commonly
called Queen Mary'. Tree, though it is probable that it Way
planted before ber reign. It formerly steod within a park. but
nn widening the carriage road, it was brought outside about tea
or twelve. was ago, and then it seemed on its last leg*, sever al
fissures appearing in the trunk, through which the , elements of
air and water were fast consuming the venerable tree. Tb*
road trnstees had these fissures filled up with stone and lime,
and bad it otherwise protected, but the violence of the gale on
Monday pulled it up by the roots, laying it along a shattered
and withered trunk ; and thus another of the memorials of Ore
unfortunate Mary has perished, and in the vicinity of her Holy-

The above shows a result admitting of advantageous csmpa-
rison with any other institution for Life Assurance. All Mem-
bers' Assurances effected during the year 1830 and the early
part of 1836, have received the above rate of abatement, which
has been made upon data justifying a confident expectation
that the same reduction, at least, 1611 be continued to those
Members, and that all others, after having paid five annual
premiums, will become entitled to an equal abatement.
