RESIGNATION OF LORD ASHLEY, M.P.—We have to
announce that Lord Ashley has resigned his seat for Dorset-
shire. The Noble Lord, there is reason to believe, communi-
cated the fact to his leading supporters in the county on
Saturday last.
We hear, from a source which leaves no doubt of the
truth of the statement, that the most illustrious personage in
the kingdom takes a lively interest in the repeal of the corn-
laws; and hip, on snore than one occasion, warmly advocated
the measure, against the opinions of certain Noble Lords, who
are es strongly opposed to it.—Morning Paper.
The Hon. Miss Isabella Plunket. third daughter of
Lord Plunket, was married on Wednesday, at Old Connaught,
Wicklow, to Henry Quin, Esq., of Wingfield.
A respected correspondent, residing at Chelsea, men-
tions, that, in consequence of the City authorities closing
Chandler's Pier on Milbank, Mr. Cubist is now erecting a
splendid pier opposite his factory in Thames Bank.
MIDDLE TEMPLE, JAN. 31.—A s,cond call to the

Roberts' Thomas Campbell Foster, Henry John Plinth],

Accounts from Cherbourg of the 27th state that the
Ph
country round that place presented the appearance of an
immense lake. The lower part of the town is inundated to
the depth in many parts of five feet, and all communication
is interrupted. At Liege the inundation has made frightful
Progress ; the waters of the Meuse had risen as high as tho
centre of the town, and all circulation in the streets near the
river had been stopped. The communication between Liege
and Namur has been cut off, the diligence a hich left the
former place on the 27th not having been able to reach its
destination. Namur was in the same deplorable condition as
Liege.
On Monday
night last, as two sailors of the English
schoonar Elizabeth, moored at the Qttai de Plsle. at Havre,
were returning on board their ship, they both tell into the
w ter. A sub-officer of the Cu-toms, named Paris, imme-
diate! plunged into the sea after them, and saved one of the
men, but the other was drowned, and his body has not yet
been seen.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were 5,000
bales, all to the trade, and at about former prices. There
was some hnprovement in Shares, and the market closed
better.

There are dates of Dec. 13 from the Cape of Good Hope.
The colony, although prospering in respect to seasons, &c.,
was suffering from political excitement, and the emigration
from Natal had not ceased. The new point of attraction
now to the Dutch farmers was a place within eight days'
march of Delagoa Bay. About three hundred men
had arrived there ; . and the country, as is usual
with new settlements, is described as being more
fertile than the districts the adventurous farmers had just
quitted. There had been a shocking murder committed by the
Caffres on the frontiers of the colony, the Rev. Mr. Schultz,
a newly arrived missionary, being the victim. The hard
road had been formed at last across the Cape Downs. The
schooner Charles, with 140 tons of guano had been wrecked
on the Bird Islands, and although the crew were saved, they
lost all their own effects as well as the ship.
Nothing very different to what has previously come to
hand is contained in the American advices.

The English investments have not been quite sustained at
the elevated point of Saturday, but this arises probably from
the comparatively limited business that has been doing.
Consols have realised 94%a for present transfer, and 95
to 1/ for time. The premium on Exchequer Bills
has been also rather lower, viz., 235. to 28s. In Bank and
India Stock we have heard of no bargains. South Sea StoJE
is 105 to 106. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 97% to %, and the Three per Cents. 95% to A.
Money is rather tight still.
For foreign stocks the demand has not been active, but
still there is rather more doing than there was at the close
of last week. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 28 to 14,
and the Three per Cents. 38% to 1/2. Portuguese Three per
Cents. have been 59%. Mexican Stock is heavy at 30%
for the Five per Cents., and at 16% for the Deferred.
Buenos Ayres Bonds are worth 411/2, Equador 31/, and
Peruvian 38. French Five per Cents. have been marked
122 f. 50c., with the exchange at 25f. 70c. Dutch Two and
a Half per Cents. have been 59%, and the Fourper Cents. 94
to IA.
Shares are steady, but rather dull. Caledonian are
14% ; Chester and Holyhead, 21 to 22 ; Eastern Counties,
22% to % ex. dividend ; Great Western, 1691/, ; Bir-
mingham, 229 to 230 ; Blanchvale, 9% •, Croydon, 221 to ;
