MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHAN GE.-I%IONDAY.
The arrivals of all kinds of grain of home produce,
including Flour, for our market last week, coastwise as
well as by land carriage, were very small, the time of
year considered. A few Oats came to hand from Scot-
land, but from Ireland we had no fresh supplies of any
article. The foreign imports consisted of 21,373 qrs
of Wheat; 22,747 qrs of Barley; 15,938 qrs of Oats; 9
qrs of Rye; 3,177 qrs of Beans; 347 qrs of Peas; 267
qrs of Tares; 25 qrs of Linseed; 118 qrs of Mustard-
seed; 24 ditto of sundry seeds; and 200 barrels of Flour.
Thus it will be perceived that, taken collectively, the
foreign supplies have been great. The quantity of Wheat
fresh up this morning, from Essex, Kent, and other
counties, was very moderate, but of excellent quality.
The finest picked samples of White sold slowly, at
prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last.
All other kinds were very dull in sale, at a decline in
the quotations of fully Is. per quarter, and at which a
cle,aance was not effected. The quantity of Foreign
Wheat on offer was large, owing to which the demand

Lord MORPETH moved the re-committal of this Bill

Colonel SIBTHORP thought that when the Bill was

wish to know whether the number of persons who were
to receive salaries had been deduced.

E SUN,

tion-laws, and this, which at all periods was a matter
of policy, became a demand based on equity and
justice, which could not be denied or retarded when
we abolished the differential and protective duties in
their favour, which alone reconciled them to—and
which were regarded as scarcely equivalent for—the
restrictions on their commerce in matters of na-
vigation.
The Right lion. Gentlemen the President of the
Board of Trade last night communicated the inten-
tions of the Government with respect to the proposed
changes in a speech of considerable ability. He
briefly detailed the changes that had taken place in
the code, from the period of the enacting of the first
navigation-law on the statute-book, in the reign of
King RICHARD the Second to the latest period,
through their different phases of monopoly and ex-
clusion, to that of mere protection by means of dif-
ferential duties, and again their return to the former
system of prohibition, which ultimately settled down
in the present provisions, contained in three statutes,
enacted during the present reign, the 8 and 9 Vic-
toria, c. 88 ; 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 89 ; and 7 and 8
Victoria, c. 112 ; the objects of which were to secure
for ourselves, first, the European carrying trade;
secondly, what is called "the long voyage trade;'
and thirdly, the entire colonial trade. There are in
addition other provisions, but which are not so im-
portant, and do not afford so much grounds for com-
plaint as the foregoing. It is intended to main-
tain the coasting trade and the fisheries
of this country, and also of our colo-
nies, unaltered, permitting, however, each colony to
legislate, to a certain extent, with respect to its
own coasting trade. With these exceptions the whole
navigation of the country, of every sort and descrip-
tion, is to be thrown open, reserving however to
the QUEEN in Council the power of putting such
restrictions "on the navigation of foreign countries as
she may think fit, if those countries do not meet us
on equal terms, not making it obligatory to do so,
but enabling her to act in the manner that may ap-
pear most advisable for the interests of the nation."
We shall on a future occasion examine fully the
details of the proposed measure, and the mode by
which it is intended to effect the contemplated ob-
jects, and ultimately to lead to the greatest freedom
of commerce. It is a step in the right direction, and
will, we doubt not, be received with approbation
throughout the entire country.

M. One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense el right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
)t caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn-
tlomprosiug hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item
in the conspaot; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

NAPLES.

Letters from Naples, of the 14th instant, state
that the King has nominated twenty-one peers of the
realm to make up the number required for sanction-
ing the legislative Acts. Several persons previously
named peers, had sent in their resignations, and thus
rendered this measure necessary. The Chamber of
Deputies had just voted an Act declaring that Minis-
terial functions are incompatible with the quality of
Member of Parliament.
The Nouvelliste of Marseillies, of the 19th, says :
The letters which we receive by the ..lesostris
inform us that whilst the events of Calabria seem, to
approach their termination, on the other hand the
insurrection bursts out with great force at Lucca and
Salerna. The KING'S troops, it is said, were beaten
by the insurgents ,who took from them eight pieces of
cannon. What,would seem to confirm this announce-

NAPLES.

Letters from Naples, of the 14th instant, state
that the King has nominated twenty-one peers of the
realm to make up the number required for sanction-
ing the legislative Acts. Several persons previously
named peers, had sent in their resignations, and thus
rendered this measure necessary. The Chamber of
Deputies had just voted an Act declaring that Minis-
terial functions are incompatible with the quality of
Member of Parliament.
The Nouvelliste of Marseillies, of the 19th, says
The letters which we receive by the Sesostris
inform us that whilst the events of Calabria seem to
approach their termination, on the other hand the
insurrection bursts out with great force at Lucca and
Salerna. The KING'S troops, it is said, were beaten
by the insurgents ,who took from them eight pieces of
cannon. What would seem to confirm this announce-
ment is, that on the 14th a reinforcement of truops
and artillery was dispatched from Naples."

Some of the certificates of the old Loan, contracted
by the late Government in 1847, were negotiated
on Sunday in the Passage de l'Opera at 2,230 f. ; they
were originally issued for 3,000 f., and were sold the
day before at the Bourse, in the morning, at 1,500 f.
This increased value is to be attributed to the decla-
ration of M. GOUDCHAUX, in his financial statement,
that "the certificates of the two first instalments of
the loan of 250 millions, forming th© guarantee de-
posit of 7f. 52ic. for 3f. of Rente, shall be comprised
until the 17th of next August for the same value of
7f. 52ic. for sf. of Rente in the payment of the first
term of the new loan." Of the adoption of the Bill
of the Assembly there does not appear to be any
doubt.

The rirent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of co.refld investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the scors of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in. nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tains; &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

AUSTRIA.

•
A Vienna letter of the 18th, quoted by the Breslau
Gazette, says :—" The accounts from Inspruck as to
the health of the EMPEROR are alarming. His
MAJESTY appears to be suffering greatly."
A letter from Inspruck of the 12th, in the Augsburg
Gazette of the 18th, says :—" A courier has arrived
from London, with dispatches for Lord PONSONBT.
Lord PALMERSTON notices the choice of the Archduke
JOHN as Vicar-General of the Empire, and advises
an arrangement with CHARLES ALBERT. Lord PAL•
MERSTON congratulates Austria on the choice of the

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
TERMINATION OF THE ARMISTICE.

The Gazelle steamer, which arrived at Hull yes-
terday morning, brings intelligence from Hamburgh
to Wednesday last. We extract the following from
the Hambnrgh Borsenhallc :
" COPENIIAGEN, JULY 17.—A number of troops have
just left prtiy by sea and partly by land, to join the
army, and 10,000 men, whose service had expired, are to
be called out.
"It is not known what decision General Wrangel has
come to on the subject of the armistice, but it is reported
to be broken off, and that the transports lying there
ready for sea were not employed for the transit of our
own troops, as they are intended to fetch the Swedes
and Norwegians from Schonen. There is no doubt en-
tertained but that the Swedes who were in Fuhnen
would have entered Jutland if invaded by General
Wrangel.
" ‘Ve are satisfied that our army will probably be en-
gaged, and hope to have the assistance of England and
Sweden, as we have consented to abide by the armistice
proposed by those countries,"
London, England, 1848-07-24

The Lubeck paper adds a further communication
from Copenhagen of the same date :

" The settlement of the armistice is broken off. Mr.
Riedtz returned from head•quarters yesterday with this
intelligence."

" The Prussian Envoy, Count Po tales, urged General
Wrangel to adopt unconditionally the terms of the ar-
mistice agreed to at Malmo, and in vain reminded the
General of his duties to Prussia; but Wrangel. was firm,
declaring that he owed his obedience to the Regent of
Germany, and that he would only give his consent on
the following couditions:—That the armistice be agreed
to by the Central Government; that the actual position
of the two armies be maintained during its observance;
and that the authority of the Provisional Government
of the Duchies be recognised until peace might be
concluded.

" The struggle will, therefore, be recommenced, as a
warlike feeling pervades in the Frankfort Assembly,
and Denmark cannot honourably consent to further con-
cession. 3,000 men proceeded yesterday to join the
army, which is intrenched at Bolding, and has con-
structed a tete de pont at Suoghoi to cover the passage to
Fuhnen.

" Our Foreign Minister, Count Knuth, has had a con.
fel-sice with the King of Sweden, at Malino, on the
subject of further measures, and much will depend on
this interview, as Russia has placed its fleet lying at
Moen at the disposal of King Oscar, and additional
damage will therefore fall on the German sea-ports. It
now remains to be seen how England will act on the re-
jection by the Germans of the treaty proposed by her
and consented to by Prussia."
London, England, 1848-07-24

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA

The Preussische Staatscinzeiger publishes an ex-
tract from a letter, dated Bucharest, the 16th inst.,
stating that the Russian Consul, KOTZEBUE, of Fock-
shani, has addressed a threatening letter to the Me-
tropolitan, announcing the march of the Russian
troops into Wallachia, and strongly dwelling on the
misfortunes to which the country would be exposed,
unless a stop were at once put to the innovations now
going on, and unless Prince BIBESCO were recalled
to the government. The prevailing opinion is, that
this letter will produce no effect, for the Metropolitan
is completely in the hands of the Provisional Govern-
ment, who rely on their army of 300 men. The
Commissioners who have been sent to spread the in-
surrections in the different districts have in a few
places met with resistance. Bucharest is quiet, though
several members of the Provisional Government have
thought proper to leave the town.

The Prussian Moniteur has the following from
Jassy, dated the 10th :—" At seven o'clock this
evening, the Russian troops, consisting of 4,000
infantry, a squadron of Cossacks, and two batteries
of artillery, entered the camp prepared for them on
the Copo, a height near Jassy. General DUHAMEL
is commander-in-chief, and Colonel WRANGLE is at
the head of the infantry."

SUPPLY.-IRISH JURIES.

I On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply,
Mr. FAGAN rose to resume the adjourned debate on
Mr. Keogh's motion with respect to the constitution of
Irish juries. He said the timo had at length arrived when
they must look the evils under which Ireland laboured
sternly in the face, and not delay the remedial measures
which she required longer. He did not think it would
be fair to allow the observations of the Right lion.
Baronet (Sir G. Grey) with respect to that Hon. Gen-
tlernan's address to pass unnoticed. Though he differed
with the political opinions of the Hon. Member as widely
as the poles were asunder, yet he must be permitted to
say of him that he was not the first to introduce a
spirit of acrimony into the debate.t llt wus true he
introduced some party feeling into the debate; but his
observations were directed against the Government and
not against individuals. Personalities were first intro-
duced into the debate by the Right Hon. Baronet, who
charged the Hon. Member for Athlone with having
praised the Whig Government of 1840, and of having
become a Conservative in (1849. If he had dono so—
and really that was not the matter at issue before
the 'Raise. He had simply done that of which the
Cannings and Pitts of former days were not ashamed.
In his opinion the Hon. Gentleman was an able statesman,
and migkt rank amongst the best politicians of his coun-
try. He regretted the Hon. Member for Dublin had
joined in the personal attack upon the Hon. Member.
The rule that had been carried out and adopted was a
perpetual and total exclusion of the Roman Catholics
from the jury lists in Ireland, without any regard to
their political opinions. The truth of the matter was,
that in consequence of the trials of Mr. Smith O'Brien
aingtohoids edoeuanl troyf
cupoint e mt
heen ts
uprevailed
Mr.
'DIU be al

trial by jury, and this excitement naturally operated
upon the mind of the Sheriff, in striking the jury
to try Mr. Mitchel.—(Rear, hear.) There could
be no doubt that the jury was unfairly selected,
and a preference was given to Protestants over Catholics
which had lead to the creation'of a good deal of dis-
content in Ireland upon the subject of Mr. Mitchel's trial.
Ho sincerely hoped that the discussion in that House
would have the effect of securing fair and impartial juries
for those prisoners who were now on the eve of trial, and
people of Ireland. He would give his
cordial to the
cordial support to the motion of his on. Friend.
Mr. 11. GRAT'rAN asked whether it was right or
just that the constitutional liberties of tho Irish people
should be taken away because a few Irishmen had gone
mad?
