MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
An unusually small supply of English Wheat was on
offer, yet that article, arising from the continued large
imports from abroad, met a very dull inquiry at barely
Moaday's reduced currencies. All kinds of foreign
wheat were in great supply, and heavy demand, at
barely stationary prices. In Barley next to nothing
IVas doing, and the rates were nominal. Malt was ex-
ceedingly dull, but not cheaper. Oats, Beans, Peas,
Indian Corn, and Flour might have been purchased on
somewhat easier terms.

ARGYLE CANAL -BILL.
Mr. PARKER moved, pursuant to notice, that the
Committee on the Arglye Canal Bill have leave to sit
tad report on Thursday.
HUME was desirous of having the minutes of the
Treasury in reference to the Bill laid on the table of the
house.-
Mr. CHRISTOPHER opposed the further progress
of the Bill, because he deprecated proceeding with a
Measure as a private Bill, which was to cauAe the public
an expenditure of upwards of 150,0001. If this measure
wee allowed to proceed it would sanction the Govern-
Izent, under the guise of a private Bill, to saddle
the public with endless expense. He did not know
Whether it would be consistent with the forms of the
Souse, but if it was, he would move as an amendment
!O the motion of the Hon. Member for Sheffield, " that
it be an instruction to the Committee on the Argyle
Canal Bill to proceed no further with the Bill during the
Present session."
After some discussion,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the Government had dealt with the Bill as an unopposed
till; as, however, it was opposed, he would move to
discharge the order for the committal of the Bill, and
move to morrow that the Bill be referred to a Select
Committee as an opposed Bill.
Mr. T. DENCOMBE thought the Bill of such a na-
ture that it ought not to be referred to any Committee at
an. They had had a Thames job, and now they had
11 regular Scotch job. He thought the best course
,Would be to withdraw the present measure altogether.
Sir J. GRAHAM thought it would be absurd to pro-
ceed with the measure until it was known whether a
Committee of Supply would allow the expenditure of so
large a sum of money to carry it out.
Mr. J. S. WORTLEY denied that the measure was
job.
. Lord G. BENTINCK thought the measure inexpe-
dient,l and he would, therefore, support any motion that
had for its object the prevention ol its proceeding further.
-It seemed that the Government were desirous to pass
this Bill secretly through the House, at that late period
Of the session as a private Bill.
Mr. BAINE also opposed the Bill. He said it was only
introduced into the House a week ago, and he defied
those who supported it to show that any petition had
been presented from the locality in favour of it.—(Hear.)
Nay, more, he believed that if the inhabitants on its
route were consulted, that they would be found to op-
pose it.

Mr. HUME stigmatised the Bill as a job, and as likely
to be a second Caledonian Canal, which they all knew had
Proved ruinous; and the House ought, therefore, at
once to mark it sense of the conduct of the Government
I: bringing in as a private Bill a Bill which proposed to
expend a large sum of the public money. Such a pro-
Isition ought to be made in a Committee of Supply.
:Ie Considered that the Government had been imposed

ti
Pianything that was likely to prove a source of profit.
Cl l-Aughter.) If, however, the canal should turn out
be one of a public nature, and one which the locality
earnestly sought, he might possibly support it in
:other session; but as the Bill had been brought in as
. bad been, and considering the late period of the ses-
!lon, he felt it his duty to move that the debate be ad-
Journed
until that day three months.
Go7r' WILLIAMS seconded the motion, He said the
Government had promoted the Cr tam and Caledonian
canals, but they were nothing but gross jobs, as they
ad been barely able to pay their incidental expenses;
and as this Bill proposed the perpetration of another of
similar kind, he should strongly support those who
Opposed
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the Bill was undertaken by the Government owing to
Petitions which they had received from various
Parts of the Higlilands earnestly calling upon
tr: in to provide employment for the indus-
Cl's poor by means of public works, and Sir
--Alward Belcher was sent down, to make a sur-
ey and to furnish a report, and he repeated that the ex-
-I,lilng canal could not be made available for the naviga•
lion of ships, and that another canal must be made to
afford the accommodation the public required. Another
()Meer who had been employed in Ireland, Mr. Hamil-
ton, was . also sent down and he reported that the
canal could be constructed at no very enormous outlay.
The Government undertook the work for the purpose of
Promoting a national undertaking, and as one which, at
the same time, would afford employment to the indus-
trious poor. He denied that the undertaking could be
looked upon as a job ; and it would be well if Hon.
Members, before they rose to oppose the Bill,
would read through the evidence in favour of the
Work which had been supplied by so competent an
authority as Sir Edward Bcher. He would withdraw
the motion, and deter el
further proceedings in the
matter until in Committee of Supply they submitted
the proposition to the House. Ile hoped no further
"tne would be lost in discussing the propriety of ad-
journing the debate.
uSir J. GRAHAM urged the Hon. Gentleman the
elnber for Montrose to withdraw his motion. As at
Present advised, he was not prepared to vote against the
rint of 130,000/. for the construction of anotbercanal in
Argyllshire, notwithstanding he had voted for the grant
t 0 the Caledonian Canal.
tkMr. HUME withdrew his motion, and trusted that
.7 would hear no more of the Bill.—(Laughter.)
.The original motion and the amendment were then

ftudrawn.

REPRESENTATION OF GREENOCK.
tio'itt• BANKES wished to ask some questions of the
(I,4ourable Gentleman the Secretary of the Treasury
r‘s. Tufnell), respectinr, a letter, headed " Treasury,"
Ruud the 27th of June,' commencing " My dear Mel-
-4114" (Lord Melgund), and dissuading that Noble Lord
,x°,.1,1,1 standing for the borough, and signed " Henry
tmlell,"....(Laughter.) The letter was to this effect—
" Treasury, Whitehall, Juno 27, 1847.
ti:.my dear Melgund,—Understanding that it has been
t,
ptot, uat any Government influence was exercised to
ellt You originally from standing for Greenock? I

think it right that your opponents should know, that in
consequence of representations that were made to myself
and others respecting the state of parties in the borough,
and the feelings that were entertained on this subject in
other quarters, I certainly authorised a strong remon-
strance being made to you, and endeavoured by every
means in my power to dissuade you from coming for-
ward as a candidate.—l am, yours truly,
" H. TUFNELL."
He wished to know if the letter was written in his
official capacity—also the grounds on which he wrote it
—(Cries of " Oh! oh!")—and whether it was written
with the cognizance of the Noble Lord at the head of
the Government, the author of the Reform Bill?
(" Oh! oh!" and laughter.)
Mr. TUFNELL said, in reply to the question of
the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Dorsetshire, he
had to state that the letter was a correct copy of
a private communication which he had addressed
to Lord Melgund.—(Loud cheers.) As soon as he
found it had been published in a local newspaper,
he wrote to Lord Melgund, expressing his surprise that
a private communication should have found its way into
the columns of a newspaper—(Hear, hear)—for the ar-
guments used in it were only those which one friend
would not hesitate to address to another.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord G. BENTINCK inquired what the term " Go-
vernment influence" in the letter meant, and also the
statement that his opponents should know the reasons
which induced him to stand, and the remonstrance
which he (Mr. Tufnell) had used to dissuade him.
Mr. HUME interposed. He thought if the time of the
House was to he wasted in private matters, that the
public business would be materially retarded.—(Hear,
hear.) It might be the Noble Lord's turn by and by
to be entrusted with the Government—(Laughter)—and
he would then find that if every private matter of a similar
kind was brought before the House that he would have
enough to do.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BANKES explained that he put the questions to
the Hon. Gentleman, as the letter had appeared in a
public newspaper.
The matter then dropped.

three leading horses ran in company to the cords, where
they closed, and made a splendid finish, lodine winning
by a neck, and the same between the second and third,
the rest tailed off. Run in 1 minute 12 seconds.
With so meagre a list, opposed, too, by such powerful
attractions at Cambridge, it is scarcely necessary to say
that the company on the heath was more than usually
select, even for a July meeting, or that speculation
was dull almost beyond precedent.

PRINTERS ALMSHOUSE FUND.—Monday evening
the sixth annual meeting of the subscribers to the
Printers' Almshouse Fund was held at the Mechanics'
Institute, Southampton-buildings. T. S. Duncombe,
Esq., M.P., took the chair at half-past eight o'clock, and
having opened the business of the meeting in a short
speech explanatory of the object of the institution, the
secretary, Mr. J. Darkin, read the report, which was of
an extremely satisfactory nature; in the course of which
it was stated that the committee had so far progressed
in the preliminary arrangements as to have selected an
eligible plot of ground at Wood-green, Tottenham, it
only requiring the sanction of the meeting to conclude
the purchase. The funds now in hand amount, after
deducting the expenses of management for the current
year (only 271.), to 2,0101. 7s. 3d. The complete transfer
of the land would be effected for about 4501., and the
erecting of six almshouses, to accommodate twelve in-
' mates would be completed at a further outlay
of 1,5001. At the end of the report a goodly list
of subscriptions was announced, amongst which was a
third donation of 211. from Messrs. Clowes, 10 guineas
from James Harmer, Esq., 10 guineas from Messrs.
Ilarrild and Sons, &c. A resolution empowering the
Committee to purchase the site and proceed to the erec-
tion of the übnshouses, was unanimously carried, with
the addenda, on the suggestion of the chairman (Mr.
Duncombe), after severely commenting on the recent
rejection by the Lords, of the non-separative clause in
the English Poor-law Bill, that accommodation be pro-
vided for twelve pensioners " and their wives." Thanks
having been accorded to the various officers, and the
chairman of the evening, which was duly acknowledged,
the meeting broke up. A well-executed des4.n of the
proposed asylum, executed by W. Webbe, Esq. (the
architect of the adjoining asylum for the fishmongers
and poulterers), was exhibited to the subscribers as-
sembled, which was left for the consideration of the
comae in their future arrangements, •

INSTALLATION AT CAMBRIDGE.

CAMBRIDGE, TUESDAY EVENING.—The town wears
this day very much the same gay and animated aspect
it did yesterday, although the influx of strangers from
the neighbouring localities has not been so multitu-
dinous.

The proceedings in the Senate-house forming the
main feature of the installation, it will readily be be-
lieved that great efforts were made by those who hap-
pily had obtained tickets of admission to assert the claim
of first comers to the best seats; and they were neither
few nor far between who, nearly three hours before the
time appointed (ten o'clock) for the commencement of
the business, had congregated in serried ranks in front
of the Senate-house. The crowd having increased, the
doors were opened before eight o'clock, and such was the
rush, principally of ladies, who occupied all the raised
seats in the body of the house, and in the gallery
at the west end immediately above the throne,
that long before nine o'clock it was impossible
for the latter comers to obtain, not the comfort
able accommodation they had anticipated, but even
to stand on a window ledge or available aperture of
the building was quite out of the question. Many ladies
and gentlemen, albeit possessed of veritable vouchers
for what they considered good and secure positions, were
obliged to content themselves with seats on the lawn, in
front of King's College, immediately adjoining the
Senate-house; where they might have the shadow of a
chance of catching a glimpse of the Queen and the
Prince Chancellor, and hearing in notes, by distance
made more sweet, the beautiful sympathies of the in-
stallation Ode. All this inconvenience arose, it should
in justice be stated, not from the want of proper arrange-
ments, but from what may be called the tyranny of cir-
cumstances, so many persons being entitled to tickets
where the accommodation was necessarily so confined.
The side galleries were shortly after eight o'clock closely
packed by undergraduates. The contracted area in the
centre of the hall between the galleries which arose from
the floor on each side for the ladies was reserved for
masters of arts, fellow s, and other members of the Univer-
sity, who were not fortunate enough to command tickets
for the elevated platform, on which were placed the
chairs of state. Through this densely thronged mass,
the Prince Chancellor and her Majesty had to pass, and
they only who stood the pressure for nearly three hours
can—and we do not wish others should—form an idea of
the inconvenient pressure which was sustained.
At nine o'clock the platform on the right and left of
the throne was filled ; the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord-
Lieutenant of the county ; the Bedels of the University ;
the Vice-Chancellor, the Heads of Colleges, the Prince
Waldemar of Prussia, Prince Lowenstein, the Duke of
Saxe Weimar, Chevalier Bunsen and lady, the Belgian
Ambassador and lady, the Duke of Buccleuch, the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Northampton, the Mrrquis of
Lansdowne, the Earl of Devon, Lord Campbell, Lord
Monteagle, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Oxford,
the Bishop of St. David's, the Bishop of Norwich, the
Bishop of Melbourne, Sir Robert and Lady Pee!, the
Vice-Chancellor of England, Mr. W. Y. Peel, Mr.
Goulburn, and Mr. Law, occupying prominent positions.
Up till nearly ten o'clock the undergraduates in the
gallery congratulated themselves on having taken pos-
session of the most convenient and commanding places
in the Senate- house. No cries were uttered, as is usual
on such occasions. _ _

The Duke of Wellington arrived about a quarter be-
fore ten o'clock, and was received outside by the band
with " See the conquering hero comes," and inside the
walls of the Senate-house with the most tumultuous
applause.
At five minutes to ten a flourish of trumpets announced
the arrival of his Royal Highness the Prince Chancellor,
who, accompanied by his suite, and preceded by the
bedels, made his way up the centre of the Senate-house
amidst the most vociferous cheering of all the gentlemen,
and the waving of handkerchiefs by all the ladies pre-
sent. After acknowledging the salutations of, the noble-
men and their ladies on either side of the platform, the
Prince Chancellor took his seat in the chair of state oa
the left of the throne.
The Prince wore his robes as Chancellor, with his
collar and badge, and remained with cap on head,
while the different prizemen recited their essays
before him.
About a quarter past ten o'clock the strains of
the National Anthem announced the Queen's approach,
when his Royal Highness, still wearing his doctor's cap,
and accompanied by the bedels and other authorities of
the University, proceeded down the centre of the
Senate-house to welcome her Majesty.
The Queen, received by the Prince Chancellor at the
entrance of the Senate-house, and accompanied by the
Earl of Fortescue and Colonel Phipps, walked up to the
dais, where both took their seats. Her Majesty wore a
white lace dress over pink silk, a white lace bonnet and
flowers, with straw coloured gloves.
On the entrance of her Majesty the whole company
rose, and testified their enthusiasm by loud and consen-
taneous plaudits. With the exception of the Queen and
the Prince Chancellor all remained standing during the
remainder of the proceedings.
The recitation of the prize poems, which was in-
terrupted by the entrance of the Queen, was now re-
sumed.
Each prizeman having read his essay, was conducted
by the Vice-Chancellor's Marshal up the steps of the
platform, and presented to the Prince Chancellor, who
delivered to him his prize.
The prizemen were, at the conclusion of their read-
ings, greeted by the cordial applause of their friends.
The recitation of the different prize poems occupied
till a quarter to 11, when the performance of the In-
stallation Ode, of which we printed a copy on Monday,
commenced.

The Ode, which was set to music by Professor Wal-
misley, was in many portions of it most loudly cheered.
In one of the solos a favourite air of the Prince Chan-
cellor was introduced, and in the portion referring to
Luther's life there was a marked resemblance in the
trumpet accompaniment to his celebrated hymn. The
first tenor solo, by Lockley, the contralto recitative, by
Miss Dolby, " But 10, what sudden cloud," the soprano
solo, by Miss Birch, the bass air, " Albert, in thy race
we cherish," by Phillips, and all the chorusses, elicited
warm and reiterated applause. The grand chorus, too,
drew down thunders of applause. Amidst the general
plaudits the National Anthem was called for, and sung
with heartstirring enthusiasm, the Prince Chancellor
