SUNDAY TRADING.

Mr. I3ROTHER'rON presented several petitions from
the metropolis and other places against Sunday trading.
Similar petitions were presented by Sir L. O'BRIEN.
CHANCERY COURTS (IRELAND).
Mr. G. HAMILTON, pursuant to notice, wished to
ask the Secretary for Ireland whether it is the intention
uf Government to propose any measure for the appoint-
ment of additional taxing masters of the Court of Chan-
cery in Ireland; also, whether it is intended to introduce
any measure for consolidating and art:ending the laws
relating to attorneys and solicitors in Ireland.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE could not undertake to say
that it was the intention of the Government to appoint
additional taxing masters, but the subject was under the
consideration of the Government, and he hoped that
some measure would be adopted by which existing evils
in the Court of Chancery in Ireland might be done away
with. In reply to the other question, the laws relating
to attorneys and solicitors in Ireland, he begged to in-
form the Hon. Member that they were at present under
the consideration of the Government.

MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL.
On the order of the day for going into Committee on
this Bill being read,
An Hose. MEMBER moved that it be postponed until
this day week.
Sir B. HALL said the Bill had been brought in by
an Hon. Member (Mr. Reynolds) who called himself an
independent Irish Member, and who said that it in-
volved matters of the greatest importance to municipal
corporations in Ireland; but although it stood the first
order of the day, and thus presented the best opportu-
nity of bringing the subject under the attention of the
House, the motion had again been withdrawn. He now
only wished to say a few words, for the purpose of call-
ing the attention of the House and tke country to the
absurdity of this proceedin:. The paper of the House
had been constantly filled with notices given by Irish
Members, and as soon as un opportunity presented itself
for bringing the question on, however vital and important
it might be, the invariable practice was to postpone. it
until another occasion.—(Cries of " Hear.") He
also referred to a notice of motion which stood on
the books yesterday relative to the temporalities of the
Church, than which nothing was more interesting to the
Irish people. That notice of motion had been on the
books for some months, and month after month it had
been postponed. With regard to the present Bill, here
was an opportunity for bringing it on; and, there-
tore, he hoped that the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Reynolds)
who brought it in would state when he went back to Ire-
land the real facts of the case, and admit that though the
Bill stood the first order of the day, and the House was
willing to pay attention to it, he was not himself
in his place, and took no concern about it whatever.
Sir GEORGE GREY stated that the absence of Mr.
Reynolds was owing to his being engaged upon the Dub-
lin Election Committee.
Mr. STAFFORD observed that as the duties of that
Committee would, in all probability, not be concluded
until the end of the session, the Bill might be looked
upon as virtually postponed until next session.
The motion fur going into Committee on the Bill was
then fixed for this day week.
SUNDA-I TRADING (METROPOLIS) BILL.

On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Mr. HINDLEY presented a number of petitions from
Lambeth, Marylebone, St. Luke's, St. John's, and St.
Margaret's, Westminster, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, St.
Bride's, St. Andrew's, Holborn, St. Dunstan's, Christ-
church, Surrey, and a number of other places, all against
Sunday trading.
Mr. BARING WALL rose, and was

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
Notwithstanding the arrivals of Wheat of home pro-
duce for our market this week have been on a very mo-
derate scale the demand for all descriptions to-clay,
owing to the favourable state of the weather for the
crops, was in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's
reduced currencies. The best parcels of foreign Whoat,
the show of which was comparatively small, were mostly
held at full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds
next to nothing was doing. For all kinds of Barley the
demand was very dull, but we have no further decline
to notice in value. In Malt scarcely a

The plantation accounts, with some few exceptions,
continue favourable. So little is doing in Hops in this
market that prices are almost nominal. To effect sales
lower rates must be submitted to. The duty to-day is
