from an enthusiastic protectionist to a still more en-
thusiastic free-trader—the dispatch and reception
of petitions from various influential bodies in different
quarters of the kingdom—the refusal of Mr. COBDEN
to assist at public demonstrations in favour of the

Ministerial policy, because he 'regarded them as essen-
tially superfluous ;—these and a number of similar
occurrences tended to illustrate tho advantages arising
from Parliamentary holidays, and also to mature the
thinking portion of the Commons in their mode of
considering the great question at issue, previously
to a dig sion upon the third reading. What is
poisonous to a Lord is equally poisonous to a Com-
moner, and what is nutritious to a Commoner is
equally nutritious to a Lord. Hence it is that we
consider the Whitsuntide recess, which has already
commenced under precisely analogous circumstances
to the Upper House as the Easter to the Lower, is a
coincidence in all respects of a fortunate character.
For one thing, it would be utterly futile to
grumble at the fact of the procrastination,
because it is a constitutional proerastina- '
tion, and one, therefore, not likely to be
interfered with by all the grumbling in the
universe. So much for the social MAWWORMS and
the political SCROOGES. Public time is all 'very pre-
cious, is all but invaluable, it is true ; but the health,
and by inference the healthy judgment of our legisla-
tors, is equally necessary for the continuance of na-
tional prosperity. It is only those who are agitating
for a diseased and unwholesome policy who would
precipitate its adoption in either house of Parliament,
surrounded by the promptings of party, of personal

pique, or of petty political prejudices. Excitement,
whether for or against, must by necessity blurr the
judgment. It is by a happy coincidence, therefore,
that the last divisiun of the Peers is preluded by
Whitsuntide.

Accounts from Beyrout of the 16th ult. state that
the question of Lebanon has been satisfactorily
arranged, and that CHERIB EFFENDI and Emit
PASHA were about to return to Constantinople. The
territorial tax is to be assessed in the manner prac-
tised under the former Administration. The Exe-
cutive power in each of the caimacans is to be exer-
cised by a divan, or council, in which every class of
the population is to have a representative. A riot
occurred in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, at
Jerusalem, on Good Friday, between the priests of
the Greek and Latin Churches. The Latin fathers
repaired in procession to Golgotha to adore the cross.
The Greeks had, however, previously obtained pos-
session of the chapel, and denied their admittance.
After some altercation the two parties came to blows,
and the Governor of Jerusalem at length interfered
to preserve peace, and ordered a Turkish regiment to
clear the place. Syria was perfectly tranquil.

The Cologne Gazette announces that during the
course of the present month the King of Paussia. will
make known his views on the subject of a constitu-
tion to the Members of the Provincial States, and that
the royal propositions will, some time in the course of
the autumn, be submitted for discussion to a General
Convocation of the States, to be assembled in Berlin.
It is stated in a Berlin letter that 30 noblemen
of Posen had met at the Arc hbishop's palace to
consider the propriety of addressing the KING to im-
plore his clemency- for the Polish prisoners. Inas-
much, however, as the parties were desirous of not
committing themselves by writing to any opinion on the
subject of the late insurrection, it was determined that
the Archbishop should wait upon the KING, and per-
sonally implore his MAJESTY'S clemency for the pri-
soners. The KING, it is stated, very graciously com-
plimented M. DE PEZYLUSKI on his arrival at Potsdam,
and immediately invited him to dinner, without,
however, granting him a private audience, or speaking
to him of the particular object of his journey. It
would appear from this, that the Monarch :does not
approve ,of this sort of intervention. Nevertheless,
the Archbishop set out again for Berlin, and presented,
on the 18th ult., a written petition to the KING, which
was accepted.

Madrid papers of the 25tb, ult. have arrived.
A Cabinet Council was held on the 23d in the
QUEEN'S presence. The state of the negotiation with
the POPE is stated to have been the subject discussed,
and a courier was dispatched the next day to Rome
with dispatches, stated to contain propositions calcu-
lated to facilitate an arrangement. The report of the
assassination of RUBIN DE CELLS is contradicted.
General VILLALONGA has been ordered to station a
corps of observation at Orense, and the steamer
Isabel 11. has been sent to Lisbon to protect the
Spanish residents in that city. The accounts from
all the provinces of Spain continue to be satisfactory.
The Three per Cents. were dine on the Madrid
Bourse on the 25th at 334 for cash ; the shares of
the Bank of San Fernando, at 396 ; and those of
Isabel, at 200. The official list observes, that al-
though only one operation in the Three per Cents.
was quoted at 33i, that stock had sold at 33 13-16
for cash, with a tendency to rise. The Five per
Cents. were done at 2041 --1; the Passives at 6-a 4 ;
and the Coupons at 20i.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday. M. GUIZOT, on Fri(lay, obtained a fresh
triumph in the Chamber of Deputies, which rejected
by a majority of 220 to 147, an amendment proposed
by M. O'DILON BARROT, for a reduction in the
amount of the Secret Service Funds for the Minister
of the Interior of 10,000 francs. In the course of
the debate, M. TRIERS renewed his attack upon the
Government, and through the Government attacked
the KING himself, taking as his text his own famous
maxim :—" Le Rui regne et ne gouverne pas. He was
replied to by M. GUIZOT, and the conflict between
these two eminent orators is thus described by the
Presse :

"The sole interest of the sitting was in the single
combat between M. Thiers and M. Guizot. M. Thiers
being wounded by words which fell from the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and in which he fancied he recognised
a feeble echo of attacks made upon him by the Debut,
on the occasion of Lecomte's attempt upon the King,
wished to protest against insinuations which he con-
sidered not only as personal, but against the freedom
of speech in the tribune. If he had confined himself
to expressing his indignation at a polemic into which his
name was introduced, he would not have incurred the
least blame; for the whole Chamber appeared to have but
one opinion on the impropriety of these attacks. He,
however, enlarged upon his famous maxim—the King
reigns but governs not. M. Guizot succeeded him upon
the same thesis, and obtained an immense success. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs evidently touched the true
principle of constitutiotial government, and never was it
expounded in more magnificent language. Still, we
cannot help declaring that this discussion is to be deeply

same motive we now abstain from all comment upon the 1
debate of yesterday—a debate which was replete with
eloquence, but which it is not right to prolong."
..The question is decided," says the Fpo ue.

during the last 16 years—
country," adds the Epoque," may now choose between
the two rival systems,—the system pursued during the
las 4 six years by the Government, and the system held

hiatus most yearned for—here was a natural inter-
regnum of meditation, and one, too, which could
scarcely be presumed to agitate those who, out of
doors, were chiefly anxious for a speedy set-
tlement of the question—because the delay was
one of ordinary routine ; - it was as little
to be cavilled at as the whole holiday of Saturday
and the half-holiday of Wednesday every week.
What were the latent consequences of good resulting
from the Easter recess it is impossible, of course, to
calculate to a nicety; but the division which followed
the subsequent meeting of Parliament—the Majority
of ninety-eight—showed clearly enough that benefit
did accrue from the habitual adjournment. It enabled
the wavering to bring their opinions to an equilibrium,
to judge from the past, to infer for the future, and to
decide definitively, calmly, and absolutely, for the
present. Various circumstances testified, likewise,
in an open and more appreciable manner, the
advisability of such benificent intervals of repose :
the acknowledged conversion of the Earl of ESSEX I

out to us by the Opposition. The country is now well
acquainted with both. The Conservative policy is no
longer a mere theory ; the country has uitnessed its
effects ; it knows what it has produced and what it is
likely to produce ; it enjoys the blessings it has be-
stowed—a glorious and fruitful peace, tranquillity,
liberty, wealth, and progressive amelicration, at home ;
abroad, force, grandeur, and security, and prosperity
everywhere.' "
The 4th of June is fixed for the commencement of
the trial of LECOMTE, who will be defended by M.
DUVERGIER, the battonier of the Parisian bar. Forty
witnessess have been summoned on the trial.
The Journal des Dibats, of Friday, publishes the
following particulars of the escape of Prince LOUIS
NAPOLEON :
" On leaving his apartment, at seven o'clock A.M., the
Prince was dressed as a workman, and carried under his
arm a shelf of his own library. He had taken the pre-
caution of shaving off his mustachios and whiskers,
which made it impossible to recognise him. A cabriolet
was waiting outside the town. and he got into it with
his servant-man, who, b.ing well known to the
inhabitants of Ham, had made a long circuit
to meet him. The Prince proceeded directly to St. Quen-
tin, where he took a post•chaise, and immediately left
for Valenciennes. He paid the postillions liberally, re-
commending them to drive as fast as possible, being
desirous to overtake a rich Englishman, who was going
to Brussels. He reached Valenciennes at half-past two
o'clock, stopped there an instant, and asked the post-
master if he would consent to keep his carriage, his in-
tention being to continue his journey to Brussels by the
railway and to return in a few days. Having received
a reply in the affirmative, Prince Louis, Without waiting
until his servant had settled his account, repaired by al
back street to the station of the railroad, and departed
by the first train. He must have arrived at Brussels in
the evening of the 250, the day of his escape."
In the Chamber of Peers, on Friday, the Prince
DE LA MosKowA asked what information the Ministers
had received respecting the massacre of 300 French
prisoners by ADD-EL-KADER ? None of the mem-
bers of the Cabinet were present, and the Prince
gave notice that he should repeat his question. In
the same sitting the Chamber received the reports of
the Committees on the Bordeaux and Cette, the Cen-
tral and the Western Railway Bills.
The Journal des Chemins de Fer announces that
the Northern Railroad would positively be opened on
the 14th inst. A report had prevailed during several
days on the Paris Bourse, that the Avignon and
Marseilles Railroad Company was under the necessity
of negotiating a loan to complete the line. The
loan, according to that journal, was to be applied to
the construction of the branch to Aix, which had
been conceded to the company, and the 20,000,000 f.
subscribed and paid was more than sufficient to ter-
minate the principal road. It was considered pro-
bable that the Dijon and Mulhausen Railway Bill
would not pass the Chamber of Peers this session.
The receipts of the Paris and Orleans Railroad dur-
ing the week ending on the 26th ult. amounted to
171,274 f., or 31,000 f. more than in the corresponding
week of 1845 ; those of the Paris and Rouen line,
during the same period, were 151,663 f., or 18,000 f.
more than last year.

The Paris Bourse on Saturday wore a somewhat
different aspect from that which it presented during
many preceding days. An express had arrived with
the division of the Lords on the Corn Bill, and al-
though qualified by the declaration of war by Ame-
rica against-Mexico, it caused a sensible improvement
in stock. Shares, generally speaking, participated
in the upward movement.
The Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 25c.; the Five
per Cents., at 119 f. 85c. ; Orleans Railroad shares,
1,247 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,020 f.; Havre, 7501.; Great
Northern, 745 f.; Avignon, 880 f.; Vierzon, 632 f. 50c.;
Bordeaux, 615 f.; Boulogne, 487 f. 50c.; Troyes and
Montereau, 3801. ; Basle, 217 f. 50c.; Dieppe, 4151.;
Paris and Strasburgb, 505 f.; Tours and Nantes,
515 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 543 f. 75c. ; Spanish Ac-
tives, 32l ; Ditto, Three per Cents, 38k.
The following are the quotations in the new lines:

On Saturday, important intelligence was received
from the Cape of Good Hope. The latest ditto we have
seen is April, brought by the ship Gloriana. War had
been declared by Governor Maitland against Sandilli,
Tola Botman, and the Gaika tribes generally, or such
as were in strict alliance with them, and the Governor
himself had proceeded to the frontier to take the com-
mand of the troops in person. The citizens of Graham's-
town and other places had been enrolled and armed,
and nothing short of the signal punishment of the Kafirs
was expected, so excited were the colonists by their
constant and increasing depredations. Governor
Maitland had published a lengthy manifesto, setting
forth the immediate cause of the war, and the general
necessity for it. As regards the former, it was the
rescue from a small British escort of two or three Kafir
prisoners, by an armed body of twenty or thirty of their
countrymen, some lives being lost on both sides. The
outrage was committed between Beaufort and Graham's
Town, and is said to have been actually planned by
Tole, and Botman on the market place of Beaufort. The
next advices from the colony will be most anxiously
looked for here.

•
THE COLOSSEUM.—Among the most favourite places
of amusement is the Colosseum, the powers of attraction of
which still continue undiminished. On several recent occa-
sions, when we have visited it, we have found it crowded
both in the morning and the evening. A stranger, visiting
London, should pay his first visit to the Colosseum. It fur-
nishes him with an admirable carte du pays.
OPENING OF THE SOUTH DEVON LINE FROM EXETER
TO TEIGNMOUTIL—The South Devon line of railway from
Exeter to Teignmoutb, was opened to the public on Saturday
last. The railway consists of a single line of rail only, and
is intended to be worked on the atmospheric principle; as,
however, the apparatus is not quite complete, it is for the
present worked by locomotives. The scenery along the
line of the South Devon is the most picturesque in the
world, and we doubt not but that, during the course of the
summer, excursions to Teignmouth will become quite po-
pular. The directors and officers of the company were pre
sent. The weather was brilliant, and not the slightest
contre temps occurred to mar the pleasure of the day.
Tue Duke of Wellington left A psley House on Satur-
day afternoon, to pass the Whitsun recess at Strathfieldsaye,
where his Grace will entertain a small circle, and return to
town on Wednesday. His Royal Highness Prince Albert is
expected to honour the Noble and Gallant Duke with his
company at dinner at his Grace's annual Waterloo banquet
on the 18th instant.

Lord Stanley has recovered from the effects of a cold
under which he was suffering at the latter end of last week.

We have the gratification to announce that Lady
Louvain was safely delivered of a son and heir, on Friday
last, at the family mansion, in Charles-street, Berkeley-
square.

Lord and Lady Vaux, of Harrowden, have arrived in
Wilton-cresent, from Coughton Court, Warwickshire.
The Cambridge papers state that the Hon. and Rev,
G. N. Grenville, M.A., wbo has been appointed to the deanery
of 'Windsor, has no intention of resigning the mastership of
Magdalene College, Cambridge, as there is no law to prevent
the two offices being held by one person, very short residence
on the part of the Dean being required at Cambridge.
PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON.—We are given to under-
t stand that Prince Louis Napoleon intends to quit England
for Florence in the course of the ensuing week, there to join
his invalid father, whose health is rapidly on the decline.
The Prince, since his arrival here, on Wednesday last, has
preserved the strictest incognito.
Prince LouiS Napoleon Bonaparte was amongst the
promenaders in St. James's-street, on Saturday.
COAL Fox THE METnoroms.—A correspondent in-
forms us that if the Midland Railway Company obtain their
Acts now before Parliament (and which they are likely to do,
there being no opposition to them) for new lines and branches
in Nottinghamshire, a great deal of coal will be sent from the
pits in that county (that are already open and. others to be
opened) to the metropolis. The coal, too, in that locality is,
generally speaking, very good. Let us have "free trade" in
coal as well as other things.
SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—GLOUCESTER,
FRIDAY.--The town of Newnham, about twelve miles from
Gloucester, was thrown into consternation on Wednesday last,
by a most extraordinary suicide and attempt to murder com-
mitted by Mr. John Knowles, of the above town. On Wed-
nesday afternoon Mr. Knowles went into the shop of Mr.
Morse, the postmaster • Mrs. Morse put out her hand for Mr.
Knowles to shake, hilt instead of doing so, he took up a
mallet used for breaking sugar, and struck her a blow on the
forehead, which felled her to the ground. The shopman
seized him by the arms behind, and, while in this position,
Knowles contrived to opena razor, which he had concealed
in his breast, and, drawing it across his throat, he fell to the
ground, and died shortly afterwards. The deceased was a
respectacle shopkeeper atewnliam, and no motive is assigned
for his extraordinary conduct. The general opinion is that
he was labouring under insanity. Mrs. Morse is recovering.
DREADFUL STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION IN SCOTLAND.
—An awful accident took place on Thursday. The steamer
Finn, Maccoull, left Wigtown at twelve o'clock for Liverpool,
and on the passage called at Garliestown for goods, and when
just loosing the rope to leave the quay the boiler burst, and
the under engineer and one firemen were killed, and the head
engineer and two men were dreadfully scalded, and are not
expected to live, None of the oassengers were injured. The
boiler burst at the bottom ; if it had burst at the top there is
no saying what amount of lives might have been lost. The
steam had just been shut off about one minute before the ac-
cident took place, and the poor fellows had to lie in the en-
gine-room upwards of five minutes before assistance could be
got, on account of the great quantity of steam and dust.
TEt P E —ELGIAN CORN-LAW.—The Belgian Govern-
ment, who suspended the corn-law of that country before our
Ministers had begun seriously to entertain the que:.tion, have
now, Nye learn, determined to continue the admission of grail
and rice duty free till the lit of October, instead of closing
the ports on the Ist of June, as had been' intended.—.2ll..an-

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were nearly
5,000 bales, including 1,500 on speculation, with a steady
market. Shares were better, and with a prospect of an in-
creased business.
The formation of railroads in British North America are of
such high importance, in a military point of view, that it is
satisfactory to find the home Government duly alive to it. A
recent communication from Canada states :—" We are happy
to learn, upon undoubted authority, that the Cambria
brought the copy of a dispatch, dated the 18th April, from
the Right Hon. Mr. Gladstone to Lord Falkland, in reply to
a dispatch from his Excellency dated the 2d April, inclos-
ing a copy of the proceedings in Nova Scotia relative to the
projected railway from Halifax to Quebec. Her Masty's
Government, in reply to the application made by the Legis-
lature of Nova Scotia, have ordered a survey to be made of
the whole line by officers of the Royal Engineers.
And we understand that no time will be lost,
so that in all probability the survey will be
completed before the close of summer. The Colonial
Secretary admits this great work to be, not only of vast im-
portance to the North American provinces, but to the general
interests of the empire, and says that the Home Govern-
ment will, as soon as the survey is made, decide as to the
appropriation to the railway, of the funds intended for the
construction of a military road, connecting the places men-
tioned. The dispatch refers to the proceedings expected to
be taken by the Legislatures of Canada and New Brunswick.
This action (•n the part of the Imperial Government has
given the friends of the undertaking new hope, and induces
them now to believe that the Exeeutive will mit hesitate
longer in asking from the Legislature the contingent pledge,
proposed by Mr. Young, in aid of this great enterprise, nor
mar its success by any timidity on their part."
In accounts from Van Dieman's Land, of the 4th of
February, we find the settlers question, as it is called, still a
subject of debate, but apparently without its approaching
any tangible point, since we may hope that the Governor, by
his representatiors to the Colonial Secretary has already
paved the way for a more satisfactory state of things. The
revenue for the September quarter.of 1845, had only just
been published. The amount was larger by 3,0501. than at
the same period of 1844, though still below the expenditure
by about 40,0001. per annum. An improvement was looked
for, both as regards increase of revenue and decrease of ex-
penditure.
The English Stocks have been very quiet to-day, and the
fine weather has caused the attendance in the market to be
very limited, while the recent settlement of the Account leaves
parties at liberty to absent themselves without the least
anxiety. Consols for Transfer to-morrow have been 96i a;
and for 'rime 96%. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been
steady at 16s. to 17s. Bank Stock has been quoted 2061.
The New Three-and-a-Qarter per Cents. have been 971,08,
and the Three per Cents. 95y8 to%.
The Foreign Investments have not been largely dealt in,
but seem rather firmer. Spanish Three per Cents. bring
3714%, and Portuguese Three per Cents. 541 Mexican
Bonds have realised 299‘ % for the Five per Cents., and 15%
15% for the Deferred. Brazil Stock is 823/. Dutch Two-
and-a Half per Cents. have been 60 to 60%.
The market for Railway Shares has been very quiescent
this morning, the previous rates being those current, with-
out any material exception.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been mo-
derate, but those of all other kinds of Grain of home produce
have been limited. From Ireland and Scotland very little
Grain has come to hand, while from abroad the receipts have
been by no means extensive. Fresh up, the arrivals of
Wheat of home produce were small, but of fair average
quality. The stands being scantily filled with samples, the
demand for all kinds of English Wheat was steady, at fully
the prices obtained on Monday last, and at which a fair
clearance was effected by the Factors. The accounts
which have come to hand by this morning's post respecting
the appearance of the wheat crops are very favourable,
Notwithstanding the show of free foreign WLeat was again
small, that description of produce, if we except the very
finest parcels, which sold in every instance at full prices,
moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Bonded Wheats, the
supply of which was somewhat on the increase, commanded
very little attention, yet a few thousand quarters changed
hands on certificates, at 103 to lls per quarter.
The stock in bond is now extremely large.
We had only a moderate quantity of Barley on offer. Fine
qualities moved t ff at very full currencies; but all other kinds
were a mere drug, though we cannot call them cheaper.
The show of Malt was moderately goon. The demand was
wholly of a retail character at late rater. Although the showy
of Oats was trifling, that article met a very inactive inquir.
..
Fine dry parcels sold at last week's prices, but thßeemthidudelainegs
and inferior kinds were 6d. per quarter lower.
and Peas ruled excessively dull, at barelye late
oteodramteasr.kslonf
Flour next to nothing was doing, and some
town-made sold at 475. per 2801bs.

SMITHFIELD.
The imports of live stock t rom abroad, since this day
se'nnight, into London, have consisted of 68 Oxen. 25 Cows,
260 Sheep, and 26 Lambs, from Rotterdam; together with
15 Oxen, 45 Cows, and 3 Sheep, from Harlingen, in, com-
paratively speaking, excellent condition. At Hull about
300 head of Beasts and Sheep haVe come to hand from Hol-
land. We had on sale 50 Oxen from Prussia (shipped at
Rotterdam, and included in the above), and 30 ditto from
Holland, which moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices.
Annexed is a statement of the arrivals of stock from
abroad, in the three months of the last three years, ending
on the sth of April _ _

The arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning, though con
siderably less than those on this day se'nnight, was, owing to
the warm weather, more than equal to the wants of the
butchers; hence the Beef trade was in a very inactive state,
at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath last week's prices.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re-
ceived about 1,500 Scots, Homebredr, and Short
Horns; from the western and midland counties, 400
Hereford's, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of
England 300 of various kinds ' • and from Scotland, 295 horned
and polled sorts. The numbers of Sheep were seasonably
large ; yet, otr the whole, the Mutton trade was steady, and
previous rates were well supported in every instance. The
supply of Lambs was moderately extensive; yet the sale for
that description of stock was ,firm, at very full prices. In
Calves, very little was doing, at Friday's depressed figures.
The Pork trade was unusually dull, and the quotations had a
downward tendency. The general quality of the stock was
very good.
