declined quite 6d per cwt. The stock has been cousi-

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
This was the last day of Hilary Term, and it was
expected that the Lord Chancellor would sit pursuant
to notice to give several judgments and hear motions
at eleven o'clock. Shortly before that hour a notice
was put up in his Lordship's Court, stating that he
would not sit before the first seal, which is fixed for
the Bth of February. It is genarally,reported that
the cause of his Lordship not sitting is a slight cold,
which he is fearful might bring on a relapse of his
late severe indisposition if he ventured to sit in
Court.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took
!notions to-day, it being the last day of Hilary Term.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
These sessions, being the fourth of the present
mayoralty, were commenced this morning in the Old
Court before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the
Common Sergeant, and Aldermen Gibbs, Sidney,
&domain,
Sheriff and Finnis, Mr. Sheriff Cubitt, and Mr.
Hill, accompanied by the Under-Sheriffs, and
other civic functionaries were in attendance.
The grand jury having been sworn,
The COMMON-S'isaozArtr addressed them. He said,
in consequence of the sudden indisposition of the
Recorder, he had been unexpectedly sent for this
morning to charge them, but the notice he had re-
ceived had necessarily been so short, that it was quite
out of his power to perform the duty so satisfac-
torily as his Learned Colleague could have done. Of
course he had no opportunity of examining
the depositions in the cases that would be
brought before them, and, therefore, all that
he could do was to refer them to the calendar.
There were, he observed, seven cases of burglary, but
none of them appeared to him to present any features
of difficulty, and it was only necessary for him to
remind them that the crime of burglary, in the eye of
the law, was the breaking into a dwelling-house
during the night time. The Legislature had defined
the night time to comprise the period between six
o'clock in the evening and six o'clock in the morning,
and it was necessary, therefore, that the offences
should have been committed between those hours.
The next case in the calendar calling for remark was
41)114) of a rake= ge/i9115 nature. It Wes a case of

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

His Lordship the Master of the Rolls sat in his court
at the Rolls House, Chancery-lane to-day, and heard
causes.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. ROBSON.

This case stood on his Lordship's paper today to be
argued upon two demurrers, but on the case being called,
His LORDSHIP expressed a wish that it should be
argued before the Lord Chancellor, if ho would hear it,
as he (the Master of the Rolls) had formerly been con-
cerned for parties in the cause.
The parties adopted the suggestion of his Lordship,
and it was arranged that an application should be made
to the Lord Chancellor to hear the demurrers, as well as
a motion that was proceeding before him.

VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE•CUANCELLOR of England.)
His Honour after disposing of the unopposed cruse
petitions, short causes, and cause petititions on his paper.
proceeded to hear the further arguments on the part.

Honour the remainder of the morning.
Nothing of any interest occurred in the Courts of the

A A E.
M. One half the World are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret un-
compresing harry ; but the trath lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour sod justice demand that health should form au item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hcpes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by best, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
ti ept. They are not intended certainly for mere Idle curiosity, but
tor the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by nuqualitied authors, which alone or
,ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " Hew to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his pr seat existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate-0 do unto others as he
would be done unto—tc live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

MAURITIUS AND THE CAPE.

Her Majesty's frigate Resistance, Captain G. Lee,
arrived ofr Portsmouth last night, has put us in pos-
session of papers and correspondence from the Mau-
ritius to the 17th of December, from the Cape of
Good Hope to the 16th of January (eight days later
than we published yesterday), and St. Helena to the
29th of January.
When she left the Mauritius the commercial affairs
were in the most distressed and prostrated condition,
owing to the bank failures and mercantile house
stoppages in England and India. Many of the most
affluent mercantile firms had been thereby reduced to
abject beggary.
At the Cape of Good Hope affairs looked remark-
ably well and promising. There were no fears enter-
tained of the violation of the treaties entered into by
Sir Harry Smith, who was still on the frontier,
gathering around him, at every step he advanced into
the before-disturbed localities, fresh assurances of the
preservation of peace and the re-establishment of in-
tamational rights and commercial transactions and
exchanges.
That the Kafir war is at an end may be judged of
from the circumstance of British shipping having been
taken up to convey to England the 90th, 7th Dragoon
Guards, 913 t, 27th, and 62d Regiments. _

The British squadron on the Cape of Good Hope
station was distributed thus at this date :

The President, flag-ship of Admiral Dacres, Capt.
Stanley ; the store depot ship Seringapatam, and the
Arab, 16-gun sloop, were in Simon 's Bay ; but the
latter was to sail the same day (14th January) for
the Mozambique Channel. The steam-sloops Geyzer
and Rosamond (formerly the Eclair) were also at
anchor in the bay.
The Nimrod, 20 guns, Captain Dacres, was cruis-
ing about in the Mozambique Channel.
The Brilliant, 26 guns, Captain Matson, had sailed
for the Mauritius to relive the Eurydice, 26 guns.
The island of St. Helena was very healthy, and
affairs there were thriving well. Her Majesty's ship
Wanderer sailed thence on the 27th of January, after
watering, for the coast of Africa. Her Majesty's
steamer Styx had sent into St. Helena for con►lemna-
tion by the mixed commission, a slave prize, being
the twenty-second capture made by that vessel since
she has been employed in the suppression of the slave
trade.

The Resistance has had an almost unpreeedented
passage of 33 days only from the island of St.
Helena, and encountered some terrific weather,
amounting, on the 25th ult., to a complete hurricane,
in which she lost nearly all her sails, topgallant-mast,
the head of the maintop-mast, the larboard-waist
netting, and had her stern boat blown right away,
without a sea striking it.

Captain Browne and his ship's officers and com-
pany, late of her Majesty's ship Snake, 16-gun sloop,
wrecked and lost on the Cape station, have come
home as passengers in this ship, to undergo trials by
court martial for that unfortunate affair; also a few
invalids from Admiral Dacre's squadron, and 16
officers, 520 rank and file, 39 women, and 48 children
of the 12th Regiment.
Three privates died on their passage home.

Ginning ini

LONDON, FRIDAY. MARCH 3, 1848.

This evening the debate will be resumed on the
proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for
the continuation of the income and property-tax on
its present. footing for a further period of three years.
The real question will be, whether the industrious
classes are to be permanently saddled with so
weighty a burden, which presses so unequally on the
persons who are required to contribute thereto. This
evening the representatives of the people will be
called upon to express their sentiments on the
momentous question, and upon the result of their
deliberation, will greatly depend whether they
shall still retain the confidence of their several
constituencies, and of the community at large,
or whether they
shall sinkinto well-merited
contempt and disrepute. They are called upon
to adjudicate upon a subject in which
their are themselves deeply concerned. The great
majority of the assembly, fully four-fifths of its
Members, are either the possessors or the representa-
tivea of large accumulated fortunes, and,
have a direct personal interest adverse toth as such,
of the
great body of the people, of those who earn theire
daily bread by their mental or bodily exertions. 11"
would, however, still hope that no body of English-
men would lend their sanction to a system so mani-
festly inequitable, when their attention is fully and
fairly directed to its palpable injustice. It was sub
'flitted to when it was supposed that it was
only required for a brief period, and for
a temporary and pressing emergency. The
general feeling of the country is now, however,
strongly in favour of direct taxation and the removal
of the various imposts that unduly press upon the
national industry, and prevent the great principles of
ree-trade from being carried into full and perfect
effect. It may, therefore, be considered as certain
that the charge will be perpetuated, and very probably
not only increased in amount, but also perhaps ex-
t.nded to a still more numerous class. It is, therefore,
essential that it should immediately be placed on ;
fair and satisfactory foundation, and equitably adjusted
amongst the parties who may be called upon to con-

POOR-LAWS.

Mr. SIIAFTO ADAIR, seeing the Right Hon,
Gentleman the First Commissioner of Poor-laws in
his place, wished to ask him a question, of which he
had given notice, namely, whether it was the inten-
tion of her Majesty's Government to introduce any
Bill this session to amend the law so far as it related
to the casual poor • was the expense of their main-
tenance to rest with the parish where they applied for
relief, or upon the entire union ?
Mr. C. BULLER said it appeared to him that the
present operation of the law was a great evil, but still
he was not prepared to say what the intentions of
Government were upon the subject, because he had
not yet brought it under their consideration. The
matter, however, would have his best attention, and
he hoped to be able to devise some remedy for the evil.
RETURNS.

Colonel SIBTIIORP moved for a return of the
quantities of each description of goods entered for
consumption on payment of a decreased duty, and
for which bonds have been required for the payment
of existing duties in case the proposed new tariff shall
not receive the sanction of Parliament (to be conti-
nued till the sth of Jan., 1848, in continuation of Par-
liamentary Paper, No. 299, of session 1846) ; an account
of the articles of import into the United Kingdom i❑
which all customs duties have been withdrawn since
the Ist day of January, 1842, specifying the articles,
the date at which the duty on each ceased to he levied,
and the total amount of duty which was levied on
each in the year 18 41 (to be continued till the sth day
of January, 1848, in continuation of Parliamentaiy
Paper, No. 299, of session 1846). Also an account t,f
all changes made since the Ist day of January, 1841,
in the duties of Customs payable on goods, wares, and
merchandize imported into the United Kingdom ;
showing the dates when such changes were effected,
the duties previous to such alterations, and the duties
subsequent to each alteration ; and also the quantities
of each article imported (including those on which
the duties have been repealed), and the net amount of
revenue received on account of each article, during
the years ending respectively the sth day of January,
1842, and the sth day of January, 1846 (to be con-
tinued till the sth day of January, 1848, in continu-
ation of Parliamentary Paper, No. 417, of session
1846).—Motion agreed to.

LONDoN, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1848

1 'his evening the debate will be resumed on the
Pl' 0 position of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for
the ) continuation of the income and property-tax on
its ; present footing for a further period of three years.
The real question will be, whether the industrious
class ses are to be permanently saddled with so
weif ;•hty a burden, which presses so unequally on the
pens ons who are required to contribute thereto. This
ever iing the representatives of the people will be
caller 1 upon to express their sentiments on the
moia entous question,
and upon the result of their
delib4 !ration, will greatly depend whether they
shall still retain the confidence of their several
constit tdencies, and cf the community at large,
or wl iether they shall sinkTh into well-merited
conten ipt and disrepute. They

a tea iporary and pressing emergency. The

strong ly in favour of direct taxation and the removal
of the vaous imposts that unduly press upon the
nation al industry, and prevent the great principles of

effect. It may, therefore, be considered as certain
that charge will be perpetuated, and very probably

The supply of English-fed Beasts on sale in today's
market was very small, and of but middling quality;
still, however, the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at
barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, Monday's
prices. There were on offer 154 Oxen and Cows, 520
Sheep, and 47 Calves, from Holland, as, also, 249
horned and polled Scots from Aberdeen and Dundee.
Prime Down Sheep, the number of which was limited,
moved off steadily, at fully last week's quotations. In
all other breeds exceedingly little business was doing
at our quotations. For Calves the inquiry was steady,
and the currencies were well supported. Pigs were a
slow sale, but not cheaper. Milch Cows sold slowly, at
from 141 to 171 each, including their small Calf.

HOHOUGH HOP MARKET.

Our market continues to be well supplied with Hops
of last year's growth, the demand for which is in a very

have a downward tendency. In Old Hops we have no

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancelllor sat today in the Old Hall,

the further arguments on the part heard appeal of
Caton v. Ridout, which occupied his Lordship the whole
of the morning.

IN RE PARKER-THE ♦SSIGNEES ♦NI) GREAT WESTERN

RAILWAY COMPANY.

This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a
carrier in Goswell-street, came up to pass his last
examination, which had been adjourned until this day
under peculiar circumstances.
It appeared that the bankrupt had been arrested at
the suit of the petitioning creditor, who also made
him bankrupt on a bill of exchange subsequently due.
His HONOUR refused to proceed in the examination at
that time, and said that he would not until the bankrupt
was released, as the creditor was not entitled to two
retne,iies, and he would nut have adjudicated in the case
had this fact been mentioned at the time.

The SOLICITOR said that the bankrupt had been re-
leased under a judge's order, and he now wished for an
adjournment, as he had been prevented by his imprison-
ment from preparing his accounts. He had carried on a
very extensive business, and had establishments in
London, at Buckingham, Froome, and ten or eleven
other places, and there were upwards of 150 account
books to be referred to to make out the accounts.
The SOLICITOR to the fiat said that it would be neces-
sary to have an early full examination as to the debts ;
there was one claim for 3,0001. against the Great Western
Railway Company for deductions to be allowed on
charges for carriage.
His HoNoun said he did not see how the company
could be compelled to make the deductions.
The SOLICITOR said in one case they had been com-
pelled to do so, and no doubt they would iu this,
The examination was then adjourned.

(PROM ♦NOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)

RUGBY, MARCH 2.—At a quarter-past four P.M. (this
afternoon), a fearful accident was well nigh happening,
by the carelessness of not attending to the signal at the
station at Weedon. There is an iron bridge to let Go.
vernment boats through far the service of the barracks
and military prison. This bridge was open, and the
proper signal given, but owing to the inattention of the
guard no notice was taken of the signal, and the engine
fell in the middle of the boat, which instantly sank.
No lives happily lost. Had it been the " express" train,
which was nearly due, the consequences might hare been
fearful. several barristers were in the train coming from
the Northampton assizes, and of which I am one, and I
must add that instances of want of attention to sig-
nais has very rarely occurred. The trains, both up and
down, were instantly warned to stop, and there has been
a detention caused of many hours, owi❑g to the difficulty
~f raising the ponderous engine from its situation in the
canal. This has no doubt caused most painful anxiety
to those who were hourly expecting friends by the dif-
ferent trains.

The directors will naturally cause a searching inquiry,
and find out where the fault rests for the sake of the
safety of the public.

CALEDONIAN SOCIETY'S BALL. This annual as-
sembly took place last night at the Hanover-square
Rooms, where the members and their friends made a
numerous party. The whole suite of these magnificent
rooms were thrown open, and every available space
occupied by the lovers of the dance. The members
appeared in their Highland costumes, and the ball-room
was handsomely decorated with shields, targets, and
claymores, and hung with draperies formed of all the
clan tartans. At one o'clock an excellent supper was
served, to which about 300 sat down. After the repast,
dancing was resumed, and continued with unabated
energy till an early hour. Mr. Guiness, with his efficient
band, presided in the orchestra. The arrangements
reflect the greatest credit can the managing committee,
who, with Mr. Gray, the honorary secretary, paid un-
ceasing attention to the comforts of the company. Success
to the Caledonian Society of London.
SOCIETY OF THE FRIENDS or FOREIGNERS IN
DisraEss.—Yesterday the annual meeting of the rnem•
hers aid friends of this society was held at the London
Tavern ; John Labouchere, Esq., in the chair. The
report, which was read by the secretary, stated that,
notwithstanding the commercial embarrassment which
had characterised the last year, the same zeal in carrying
out the benevolent objects of this society had been exhi-
bited as in former times. The collection at the last an-
niversary dinner had produced 2,4171., to which was
to be added 200/. from the governor and company of the
Bank of England. A donation of 20/. had been received
from his Royal Highness Frince Oscar of Sweden and
Norway, another of 101. from h;s Royal Highness the
Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, and the King of. Hanover
had intimated his intention of becoming an annual sub-
scriber to the amount of 501. Of the actual assistance
rendered, the report stated that eighty persons had re-
ceived a weekly portion of 55., and ninety-six received
allowances varying from ss. per month to 2s. ad. per
week, making an amount of 1,421/. 9s. 9J. The in-
stances of casual relief had exceeded those of any former
year, there having been not fewer than 2,711, of whom
307 had been new cases. These had entailed on the
society an expenditure of not less than 1,1631. 14s. Bd.
The report having been adopted, officers for the ensuing
year were elected, and twelve distressed foreigners
were added to the list of the society's pensioners, out of
forty-six applicants.

THE CORN TRADE.

The position of the trade has undergone very little
change since our last ; nor has any circumstance tran-
spired of a character. calculated to lead to much altera-
tion. The weather has continued changeable, and a
good deal of rain has fallen, by which the land has been
rendered too wet to admit of out-door work being imme-
diately commenced; farmers are therefore likely, for
some time, to have leisure for thrashing; and the de-
liveries from the growers, though not large, have
rather increased. A decided unwillingness has, how-
ever, been shown to submit to any further decline in
prices, holders (farmers as well as merchants) being
mostly of opinion, that after the close of this month,
when the free importation of foreign ceases, quo-
tations will undergo a gradual improvement. We need
not repeat what we have on former occasions said on
this subject; but hitherto our views have proved
tolerably correct, and we can discover no reason to
warrant an expectation of any advantage of moment
in the value of bread-stuffs, so long as the
prospects for the next crop shall continue favour-
able. The arrivals from abroad have not hitherto
been large, which may, however, be easily ac-
counted for—the opening of the navigation of the
principal continental rivers having taken place too
recently to allow of shipments to any extent being
made with a fair prospect of the vessels reaching our
shores in time to save the duty. There is probably
some quantity on passage from the northern ports,
kept back by the prevalence of south-west winds
and the boisterous weather lately experienced.
Whether these cargoes arrive previous or subse-
quent to the Ist of March, importers will most
probably be anxious to effect sales from on board
ship ; and there does not appear much chance, in the
first instance, of any scarcity of foreign Wheat being
experienced. Afterwards prices will, we think, give
way on the continent sufficiently to admit of the pay-
ment of a 7s. or Bs. duty. Though business in Wheat
has not been active at any of the leading provincial
markets held during the week, holders have certainly
manifested increased firmness, and is some in-
stances they have even succeeded in establishing
a trifling advance on the finer qualities This
has been the case at Liverpool, where the best dry
samples of new wheat were on Tuesday quoted 2d.
per 701bs. higher than on that day se'nnight ; and
flour, which had previously been much depressed (in
consequence of arrivals from Ireland), rallied Is. per
sack. Later in the week a further small advance of
about ld. per 701bs. was obtained for new ; but
old wheat was dull of sale on Friday.—Mark-lane

MARK 'F.-

NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The present week's arrival of English Wheat coast-
wise has amounted to only 1,540 quarters, chiefly from
Essex. To-day the stands were very scantily filled with
samples, and the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce was very steady at fully Monday's quotations,
and at which a good clearance was effected. Fine par-
cels of foreign Wheat moved off fully at extreme cur-
rencies, but the middling and inferior kinds were much
neglected. Scarcely any Barley was on offer. Most
kinds were in moderate request at unaltered prices.
Superfine Malt was quite as dear. In other kinds so
little was doing, that prices were nominal. Oats were in
moderate request, at late rates. Beans, Peas, and Indian
Corn were the turn lower. The top price of Flour was
46s per 280 lbs.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

The Royal Board of Trade and Customs at Copenha-
gen have announced four new beacons will be laid down
as early as possible in the course of the present year.
Two in the Great Belt, one between Lillegrunden and
Fyens-hovel, and one in the Smorstake Channel, west
of Langeland.
ALTERATIONS IN THE DESCRIPTIONS OF BEACONS PRE-

VIOUBLY RErLACED.
1. The beacon off the extreme (N.E.) end of Skagen's
Reef will have a red balloon on the top, instead of the
two brooms hitherto used, so as to make it more easily
distinguished from the beacon on the S.E. neck of the
reef, which has two brooms on the top.
2. The beacon near the Soborghoved Ground, out
side the point of the crag, will have one red balloon on
the top instead of the red flag hitherto used.

AWFUL OCCURRENCB.--It is our painful duty to
announce an awful occurrence, the intelligence of which
has just reached us. Friday evening Mrs. Armstrong,
of Ballincar (a lady most respectably connected), in a fit
of temporary insanity drowned herself and her three
young children. She tied twe of them on her back, took
the third in her arms, and deliberately walked into the
sea. They all perishesL—Sligo Champion.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

His Lordship the Master of the Rolls sat in his court
at the Rulis House, Chancery-lane to-day, and heard
causes.

ATTOENEY•GENERAL V. ROBSON.

This case stood on his Lordship's paper to-day to be
argued upon two demurrers, but on the case being called,
His LORDSHIP expressed a wish that it should be
argued before the Lord Chancellor, if he would hear it,
as he (the Master of the Rolls) had formerly been con-
cerned for parties in the cause.
The parties adopted the suggestion of his Lordship,
and it was arranged that an application should be made
to the Lord Chancellor to hear the demurrers, as well as
a motion that was proceeding before him.
