to exercise its fascination over the lips of an orator
and over the imaginations of a senate. So much,
however, of a practical character remains to be ac-
complished by the Lords and Commons before the
alvent of the Easter vacation, that we are solicitous
to see little more recorded in the journals of
the House in reference to the second and
third reading of this Bill than the division list
and maybe a catalogue of petitions. Honourable
Gentlemen must abstain from any unnecessary in-
dulgence of their rhetorical abilities ; they must be
contented to conceal the accumulated light of their
historic lore under the bushel of their modesty; they
must emulate the majestic silence observed upon great
occasions by the Patres Conscripti. Before Christ-
mas we had enough of debating upon the moral effi-
cacy of the measure brought under the consideration '
of the Legislature by the Noble Premier. Without
exhausting the theme—for the theme, from its many
august and memorable associations, is altogether in-
exhaustable—the popular representatives lavished
upon it all the fervour of an eloquence that arose
spontaneously, and all the industry of a research tem-
pered by tolerance, and yet illumined by enthusiasm.
In the speech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself we
were reminded of the days when his mind was in all
the freshness of its adolescence, when he laid the
foundation of his fame as a Liberal statesman by his
advocacy of the repeal of the Acts of Test and Corpora -
tion. In the passionate remarks of Mr. DISRAELI it
was equally impossible to forget the dreamy grace
of Tancred, or the scholastic tartness of Sidonia.
The same reverence which fed the midnight lamp of
the author of " Sybil," made his heart vocal in the
Lower House at Westminster. Even among the
opposers of the project of the Prime Minister there
was a consistency which commanded respect ; it nas
the resumption in 1847 of the same policy which
had actuated Sir ROBERT INGLIS in 1830.
It was the transposition of the sentiments of SHYLOCX
to the mouth of a Christian legislator—l will walk
with you, and talk with you, and eat with you, but I
will not vote with you, or pray with you, or sit cheek-
by-jowl with you! Those were virtually the words
muttered by the Hon. and Learned Member for the
University of Oxford as he looked askance towards
the entrance doors of the Commons, and imagined
to himself the comely figure of the Baron LIONEL
DE ROTHSCHILD luiling in the lobbies, and loitering
on the very threshheld of the Chamber, for
that opportunity which should enable him to
burst into the conclave of Christians (both
orthodox and heterodox), of Deists, and Indifferen-
tists, and Dissenters, and Papists, and Freethinkers.
The language is so precisely what might have been
articulated by Sir R. H. Limas, that the paraphrase of
SHARsPERE is at the service of Mr. WALTER SAVAGE
LANDOR, supposing he should recreate his ripened
powers by penning a supplement to his "Imaginary
Conversations.' Oa both sides sufficient has been
said in all conscience. Not the least important addi-
tions, indeed, to the voluminous records of Hansard,
have been the pages dedicated to discussions
upon the civil disabilities of those Englishmen
who worship JEHOVAH in the synagogue, and
feed upon the unleavened cakes of the Passover. The
project for their political emancipation is not, in fact, a
day-dream of yesterday. It is not as though the Prime
Minister had suddenly declared himself the champion
of the Jews of the United Kingdom, for the purpose
of concealing the faults of his Administration under
the blaze of an erroneous and ephemeral popularity.
The false position of the Hebrew race in this country
"of civil and religious liberty, has long been pro-
nounced an anomaly by men competent to decide
upon questions of a politico religious character. As
far back as the 6th of April, 1330, a Bill of a pre-
cisely similar tendency to the one recently
introduced to the House of Commons was brought
forward by the then Member for Inver-
ness. Subsequently, on the 14th of December,
in the same year, a petition praying for a like act of
leniency and justice was laid by Lord BEXLEY
on the table of the House of Lords. Since then the
matter has- been discussed and agitated—inter-
mittently, it is true, but with unflagging earnestness
—though up to the present moment the old barrier
of bigotry still remains for destruction. The true
course for the Legislature, therefore, is essentially
one of action instead of one of deliberation. It
must enable the bands of the tellers to annihilate
that which has flourished in spite of the
assaults of logic and declamation. It must
give to Lord JOHN RUSSELL the glory which
it has hitherto denied to the most distin-
guished statesmen of modern times; to Mr. Has-
KISSON, to Sir STRATFORD CANNING, to Lord
STANLEY, tO Mr. SPRING RICE, to Mr. ALEXANDER
BARING (now Lord ASHBURTON), to Lord MEL-
BOURNE, to Lord DURHAM, to Lord CAMPBELL, to
his Royal Highness the Duke of Snassic, to the Duke
of NORFOLK, to the Duke of IYIABLIDOIIOIIGH, to the
Duke of MANCHESTER, and to the Duke of GRAFTON,
all of whom expressed themselves favourably either
in 1830, in 1833, or in 1836, to the removal of these
incongruous obstructions. Drop by drop has
fallen the basement of the old colossus
of intolerance has been sapped—it hes long tottered
to its foundations-1348 must inevitably witness its
downfal. With the admission of the Jews to Par-
liament, the Commons, the Lords, and the QUEEN
must decree the erasure of the brutal penal enact-
ments against the Roman Catholics. Then, and not
till then, our national boast of civil and religious
toleration will be truthful and glorious.

The proceedings under the Special Commission
have closed for the present. The sittings in each of
the towns have been nominally adjourned, but as the
Spring Assizes are now so close at band, it is more
than probable that the remaining cases will be suffered
to await the ordinary tin eof trial. We have already
given a brief summary of the results at Limerick
and Ennis ; we shall now shortly state the more im-
portant cases that have been brought before the Court
at Clonmel.

There have been five capital convictions in Tippe-
rary. The juries in every instance discharged
their important duties honestly and conscientiously.
The evidence, generally speaking, was of the
clearest and most satisfactory character, leaving
no doubt whatever of the guilt or the parties charged
with the offences. In one case only Was there an ac-
quittal, that of a man named ROUGBAN, who was in-
dicted for being uoncerned in the late murderous attack
upon Mr. BAILEY. The Lord Chief Ju10.c..1 con-
sidered that, as; the principal WittltBS, GARRAGLIAN,
had consented, a forthight before, to join in the at-
tack, and had a continuing intention to shoot Mr.
asti.ur, his evidence should be regarded as that of a
party te the transaction, and therefore, according to
the humane rule of law, which held that no person
should be convicted on the testimony of an accom-
plice unless corroborated, not merely as to the parti-
culars of the story, but even as to the person charged
with the offence, could not alone he sufficient to warrant
the condemnation of the prisoner. It was net, there-
fore, from any disposition on the part of the jury to
screen an offender from the consequences of his
crime that the verdict in this case was owing. DALY,
the other party who was tried for the same offence,
the person who instigated his companions in crime to
the commission of the outrage, in revenge for having
been sued by the intended victim, was found guilty,
and is to suffer the extreme penalty of the law for his
participation therein. RouGnAl has not been dis-
charged from custody, but is to be tried for the con-
spiracy to murder, of which, it is said, there is suffi-
cient, legal evidence against him.
The offences were all of the ordinary character,
either arising out of disputes connected with the occu-
pation of land, or from the parties having been in some
wayinstrumental in putting the law into execution.
LONERGAN murdered :‘lr. RoE, because, after having
shown the greatest indulgence and forbearance,'
took measures to recover back the possession of his
lands, for which the prisoner was unable or un-
willingpay the stipulated rent. DALY planned
the to
murder of the gentleman who acted as agent
over the estate on which he resided, because legal
proceedings were instituted to enforce the payment
of the arrears of rent due by him. The CODY'S
butchered poor MADDEN because he had given in-
formation respecting certain minor offences in which
his assassins had been concerned; while CORBOYS
thought an humble process. server named GLERSON
worthy of death, for having dared to serve a notice
on his father ; Coanoys waylaid the wretched man,
a," wa3 deaf to his supplications and entreaties
;er mercy, and promises to abandon the office he held

and never again to disturb the peace of the district
by serving latitats, or other legal documents. lie
was first shot, and subsequently his skull was frac-
tured with the butt-end of the blunderbuss, the con-
tents of which had previously been discharged
at him.

There have been, in addition to the capital cases,
twenty-one other convictions for offences of a minor
character, thirteen persons have been sentenced to
transportation, and eight to various periods of im-
prisonment with hard labour. Of these one man was
for having arms in his possession contrary to the pro-
visions of the Crime and Outrages Act. As he sub-
mitted by pleading guilty, and declared that he was igno-
rant of having violated the law, he was only adjudged to
uffer a fortnight's imprisonment. The same excuse,
however, will not be available in any subsequent
case, and a much heavier punishment will be inflicted
for any breach of the wholesome enactments contained
in that statute.

The whole of the proceedings in the three coun-
ties have fully justified the confidence reposed in the
ordinary tribunals of the country, and the policy
of the Government in departing so slightly from
the spirit of the constitution. Those who are at
all acquainted with the Irish character must know
that any one of the convictions which have taken
place will be more valuable than twenty times the
number if a court martial had pronounced the
verdicts and decreed the sentences. In the latter
case the greatest sympathy would have been felt for
the delinquents ; they would have been regarded as
martyrs. It might, to a certain extent, have terrified
those residing in the several localities; but that would
have been its only beneficial effect—it would have ex-
cited a strong and bitter feeling of revenge and ani-
mosity, and the law would still be supposed powerless to
suppress crime by its own strength. Such feelings
cannot now be entertained. The law against which
they have offended has been vindicated without re-
course being had to any unconstitutional means.
None can deny that every fair play was afforded to
the parties brought to trial ; and, as we have already
seen in BOUGLIAN'S case, the rules of law were most
strictly observed when they proved favourable to the
party charged. The confluence which the witnesses
appeared to entertain in the protection that they
would receive from the authorities, was another fea-
ture in the proceedings from which the most bene-
ficial results may be anticipated. The criminals may
now perceive that they have nothing to hope from
the intimidation that has been exercised towards that
class. If then crime is openly committed it will be
brought home to them. The witnesses will speak
the truth fearlessly and unhesitatingly—jurors will
return their verdicts according to the evidence, and,
above all, the small farmers and cottiers, warned by
the fate of WILLIAM FRE'waN, will withhold the
shelter and protection, without which the offenders
cannot long hope to evade the pursuit of the police or
to escape the punishment due to their crimes. All
these things will have a powerful effect, and although
perfect tranquillity may not be at once restored to
Limerick or Tipperary, the principal instruments to
crime will be removed, and an administration of
justice similar to that which we have witnessed with
such pleasure will eventually make these districts as
peaceable as the other parts of the country.

The Patria, Florence journal, of the 28th ultimo,
announces, on what it deems good authority, that
Sir RALPH ADERCROMBY, Minister Pienipotentiary
of Great Britain at Turin, communicated to the
Sardinian Minister, Count DR ST. MARIAN, on the
24th, a note addresied by Lord PALMERSTON to the
Cabinet of Vienna, in which his Lordship stated that
an Austrian intervention in Tuscany, in the Roman
dominions, and in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies,
should be regarded by England as a declaration of
war. The King of SARDINIA had ordered two
thousand percussion muskets to be forwarded from
the Royal Arsenal of Turin to Florence.
A letter from Milan of the 28th ult. states that the
Society of Encouragement had been closed by order
of the Government. Count VITALIARO Boinomeo,
being a knight of the Golden Fleece, had hitherto
escaped arrest in virtue of his privilege, but the
Court of Vienna has just authorised the police of
Milan to arrest him. The PODESTA CAsATt having
asked the VICEROY whether ROSALES and the other
individuals transported to Lubiana would be the last
examples of the rigour of Government, the VICEROY
gave him no answer.

The following is from Turin, dated the 2Gth
ult. :—" The lima has convoked the Extraordinary
Council of State for the 16th March, in order that
he may consult it on some financial subj9cts.
This measure has produced the best effect on
the public mind, and the more so as the manifesto was
accompanied by the nomination of three councillors
whose names are dear to the nation, particularly
those of the Prince DE LA. SISTERNA, who in 1821
was condemned to death and burnt in effigy, and Mgr,
DE CALLABIANA, Bishop of Casale, who seconds by
his actions the sublime efforts of Pius IX. and
CHARLES Anscar for Italian regeneration. The
people of Turin are in general satisfied with the new•
law on the press. Our Government watches all the
movements of the Austrians in the Milanese territory.
Austria has an unpopularity with us, which is daily
increasing, and which our Government is not sorry
to keep up. The events in Lombardy and th•
news from Naples excite sentiments of the most
lively patriotism, and the Government, with as much
prudence as firmness, encourages the popular feeling.
The three contingents which it has called out, and the
two which it has kept on foot, do not amount to less
than from 3.5,000 to 40,000 men. The artillery also
has been augmented. In several towns the monks
have placed at the disposal of the war department
extensive accommodation as barracks for the troops.
The rigour of the Austrian police at Milan is very
great. The arrests increase in number, and several
respectable eitiz.!Ls have been sent to Spielberg,
where our poor SYLVIO PELLICO so long languished."
CESARE CANTU, the celebrated historian, just
escaped from the hands of the Austrian police, arrived
at Turin on the 23d ult.

We learn from Lucerne that the new Government
is seriously engaged in devising means for the pay-
ment of the heavy charges entailed upon the canton
by the civil war, and which are said to amount to
nearly five millions of francs. It is reported that the
authors of the resistance to the Diet will ha'a to
bear a great portion of this burthen, but that, as
their means are not equal to the whole, the re-
nisimler will be made up by a general tax on the
inhabitants.

The Federal repressntatires it, the canttsii cif the
Valais hare, in a recent report to the Diet, given an
abstract of the new constitution recently adopted by
the inhabitants of that canton. We find in this
report the following remarkable passage !—" This
new constitution shows a teal progress on that of
1844, which way the result of a reactionary move-
ment. If it does not establish the free exercise of
the Protestant religion, at least it does not prohibit
it, as was the case with the late constitution," The
Suisse of Berne of the Ist insteitt, noticing this
report, says 1—" It pfoVei a fact which was still
doubted, so monstrous was its character, namely,
that in the canton of the Valais Protestant worship
was absolutely interdicted by the constitution, We
may now judge of the sincerity or the ehainpiOns of
religious liberty, and above all of the sincerity of M.
DE MONTALEMBERT. Unfortunately the new Go-
vernments only do things by halves. Fanaticism is
so formidable in the Valais and at Lucerne that it
has not been dared to proclaim religious liberty,"
A grand funeral mass was celebrated on the Ist in
the Catholic Church of Berne for the victims who
perished at Milan and Pavia, in the recent conflicts
with Austrian soldiers. Most of the Italians resident
at Berne were present at the ceremony.
An auto-da ft took place at Friburg on the 31st
ult. The victims, however, were neither Catholics,
Protestant•, nor Jews; but the papers connected with
Political prosecution by the late Government in the
early part of last year, and several instruments of
torture, which, it appears, had been retained under
the old system.
Letters from Turin state that a treaty has been
formed between Austria, Parma, and Modena, by
which Austria binds herself to come to the assistance
of the other Powers when required to do so, and
they guarantee to her a free passage for her troops
through their territories to any other part of Italy.

Madrid journals of the 30th and 31st of January
have been received.

The Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes a royal de-

cree, approving the contract entered into between the
Government and the Bank of San Fernando, in virtue
of which the latter becomes the general cashier of
the Government, receiving all the taxes and contri-
butions, and, in return, engaging itself to place the
whole amount of the budget at the disposal of the
Government in monthly instalments, varying in
amount each month. The total of the budget is
1,283,631,396 reals. In the sitting of the Chamber
of Deputies on the 29th, the debate on the Bill
respecting notaries was brought to a close.
There was a grand reception and a ball at the palace
on the 30th, in honour of the anniversary of the birth
of her Royal Highness the Duchess Da MONTPENSIER.
Amongst the Generals who were present was the
Duke DR LA VICTORIA, notwithstanding his having
had his audience of leave three or four days previously,
preparatory to his setting out for Logrono.
It is said that NARVAEZ intends to propose great
reductions in the army. _

The Siglo of the 29th ult., under the title of The
Captain grown grey in battle, says :—" We are as-
sured that a few days ago the Duke DE RIANZARES,
at an inspection of infantry, presented his son, nine
years of age, to the Inspector, and inscribed his name
on the roll of the regiment as lieutenant, with the
pay of four hundred reels per month. This beard-
less lieutenant had already been invested with the
epaulettes of his rank. It is said that when the Duke
retired, General CORDOYA exclaimed—' Never
before was such a scandalous thing done, even in the
reign of FERDINAND VII."
We have received letters from Barcelona of the
26th ult., which state that the endeavours of General
PAvra. to put down the Montemolinist bands have
proved completely abortive, and the tyrannical
measures adopted by the General have produced an
impression anything but favourable to the Govern-
ment. A brother of the Cabecilla ESTARTO, who was
living quietly at Olat, has been arrested, and sent a
prisoner to Majorca, and his property confi3cated.
His wife and children are at this moment begging their
bread in the streets. The only accusation brought
aginst him is, that he is ESTARTO'S brother. Many
of the farm-houses in Catalonia have been walled up
by order of PAVIA, and he has, it is said, announced
his intention of walling up all the isolated houses
in the *pen country, to whomsoever they may
belong. Should this prove insufficient for the de-
struction of the factious, he declares he will destroy
by fire every village in the province. "We hope,"
says our correspondent, " that such a Vandalic
project will not be put in execution, although
sad experience teaches us to expect from
our Afrancesade rulers all kind of mischief, used as
they are to treat the peasantry as mere slaves." No
compensation is given to the owners of the houses
walled up or destroyed by order of the military
authorities. Hundreds of persons, rendered house-
less by these arbitrary measures, are wandering about
the country ; and, as might have been expected,
many of them have joined the Montemolenists, who,
in bands of from fifty to one hundred men each, are
traversing the province in every direction.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.

(Before the CoMMoN SERGEANT.)
Thomas Harris was indicted for attempting to
extort money by false pretences.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Huddlestone appeared for
the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended.
Mr. CLARKSON stated the case. The prisoner for
some time past had adopted the name of Alfred Alford,
and a few weeks ago he addressed a letter from a
coffee-house in Furness-road, to Mr. Sydney Lloyd,
of Brooke-street, Grosvenor-square, a gentleman
well known in the sporting world, and a largo pro-
prietor of race horses, offering, in consideration of a
ten pound note, to disclose the names of a number of
persons engaged in carrying on a system of drugging
race horses. The prisoner, in the event of bis offer
being acceded to, undertook to prove that some of the
favourite horses entered to run at the last Goodwood
Races, including Planet, Red Hart, and another, had
been subjected to a process of drugging, while he
could also prove that measures had already been
adopted by the gang to obtain access to the favourite
horses that might be enterel for the next Derby,
Ascot, and Goodwood Races. Mr. Lloyd agreed to
the terms, and advanced him 101., but the subsequent
statements of the prisoner were so contradictory and
improbable that he was given into custody.
Mr. Sidney Lloyd proved that he received a lett• r
purporting to come from Mr. Henry Alford, the pri-
soners father, and upon the faith of that letter, and
the representations made to him by the prisoner, he
paid the 101. He subsequently discovered that the
prisoner's father had been dead four or five years, and
that no reliance could be placed upon the prisoner's
statement. _

Upon cross-examination by the pri-oner, the wit-
ness admitted that he wanted to discover if a con-
spiracy of the nature described did really exist, and
in order to do so he promised to present the prisoner
with 1,000 guineas if he would join him in sifting
the matter. He dil not :invite the prisoner to join
him in his gsmbling transactions, nor did he pledge
himself to the prisoner that if he would do so he
should be held harmless from the consequences of all
they undertook together. He firmly believed at the
time he paid the 101. that a conspiracy did really
exist.

Lord Henry Lennox corroborated the evidence of
Mr. Lloyd, and stated that the prisoner told him
that his father, William Packer, and Ashcroft were
well known at Kirton's coffee-house, in Peerless-
place, City-road, and that Williams was in the habit
of visiting once a day.
The prisoner—Have you not been concerned with
others in poisoning or drugging your own horses ?
Witness—You asked me that question when I saw
you before, and I indignantly refused to answer so
absurd a question.
The Counr—Your Lordship had better answer the
prisoner's qnestion.
Witness—Then I unhesitatingly deny the insinua-
tion conveyed in the question.
The waiter and proprietor of the coffee-house
proved thkt no such parties as those mentioned by
the last witness were known to them, and that the
prisoner had been in the habit of frequenting the
house to write letters. Sometimes he used black and
sometimes blue ink.

Inspector Shacleell proved that under the direction
of Lord Henry Lennox, he obtained a warrant for
the arrest of the parties whom the prisoner repre-
sented as being engagoti in the conspiracy, but he
eould never discover any such parties. Subsequently
he found out that the prisoner's story was a fabrica-
tion. lie had seen the prisoner write, and he be-
lieved the letters written to Mr. Lloyd were in the
handwriting of the prisoner.
Mr. Lloyd was recalled at the request of the jury.
The Foreman—ls it the practice of the turf to pur-
chase information of the character alleged to have been
given by the prisoner ?
Mr. Lloyd—Not that I am aware of.
The prisoner—lf you were told good things, would
you not readily pay for the information ?
Mr. Lloyd—Possibly.
This was the case for the prosecution.
The prisoner addressed a few words to the jury in
his defence. He did not deny the charge, but said he
had been led into it by some designing parties con-
nected with the turf. There was no doubt, however,
he said, that a conspiracy of the nature he had dis-
closed to the prosecutor did exist on the turf, and Mr.
Lloyd could prove it.
Mr. Lloyd was recalled at the prisoner's request,
and stated, in answer to a question, that at the time
he received the prisoner's letter he had reason to be-
lieve that his own horses had been drugged.
The COMMON SERGEANT then summed up, and
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Court sentenced the prisoner to seven years'
transportation.
The prisoner fainted upon hearing the sentence, and
was carried from the dock.

Silt:ester Walsh was indicted for feloniously firing
a pistol at the person of Sophia Somers, spinster, of
199, Wellington-terrace, Waterloo road, with intent
to kill or murder her.

The fact; of the case have been so recently pub-
lished in The Sun, that it is unnecessary to go into
them at length. The prisoner met the prosecutrix a
few nights ago near the Lyceum Theatre, and they
afterwards retired to the Brunswick Hotel, in Bow-
street, where the prisoner in the course of the night
produced a pistol and fired it at the proncutrix.
Mr. CLARKSON defended the prisoner, contending
that the pistol went off by accident, and that the
prisoner's ptodticing it ought to be viewed in no light
but as a drunken freal.

The jury found th© prisoner Guilty of a common
assault, and
The Court sentenced him to nine months' impri-
sonment with hatd labour,

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
The quarter sessions for the county of Surrey,
commenced this morning at the Sessions House,
Newington•catneway, before Thomas Puckle, Esq.,
and a full bench of magistrates: The calendar con-
tains the names of seventy-four prisonetS.
William lVye, aged 22, was indicted for stealing
at Worplesden, a sheep, the property of William
Collins:
The prosecutor is a farmer at Worplesden, and on
the night of the (17th ult., he left five sheep safe in
the fold, with bells attached to their necks; on the
following morning he missed one, and on searching
abort, he perceived one of the bells belonging to the
loot sheep outside the hurdles. lie then gave instruc-
tirins to the police, and the same evening the sheep,
was fornt" iti the privyner's house, and the akin anti
entrails were discovered in the garden, near the
kitchen-door. Prosecutor identified the skin,
Mr. Itobineon defended the prisoner.
He Yras found Guilty, and sentenced to be trans-
ported tot ten peg,

sistant to the master shipbuilder of this dockyard, pro-
ceeded this, morning to superintend the application of
his composuloti (for the prevention of corrosion in the
bottoms of iron vessels) to a vessel now fitting at Sheer-
ness.

Fotf. CATCHING.—Things are done very differently
in the Isle of Wight, particularly in the parish of North-
wood, to what they are in England, and surely there is
nothing very English in endeavouring to catch a fox in
a rat gin, but in the above neighbourhood they, instead
of hunting the " Varmint," shoot or trap them, and the
gamekt epers get 1/. a head for all they destroy. A few
days since one was traced to Ruffer'a Copse, and as usual
sly reynard was doomed. A duck was placed in an iron
cage and taken into the wood, a number of rat-gins were
set round the cage. The music of the lady's voice soon
attracted the gentleman, and in walking round the cage
to become better acquainted with her, one off his feet
was caught in one of the gins; iu trying to extricate
himself ho got fixed in three of the traps and became an
easy prey to the keepers,

161( LY and COMMERCIAL NEW :ri
CITY, QUARTER TO Til REA.
The Cotton :Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
firm. Sales, 4,000 bales, of which 3,000 were American,
at 41d. to 6d. per lb.—Railway Shares were better, but
not much was done.
By the Plantagenet, ad vices have been received, dated
the Cape of Good Hope, Dec. 9, and Graham's Town,
Nov. 30. Uwhala, a chief in alliance with England, had
attacked some of Pato's tribe, who were endeavouring
to escape with stolen cattle, sad obtained advantages
over the latter. The new governor, Sir Harry Smith,
was expected shortly to proceed to the frontier.
The following particulars of the iron trade are from
Aris' Birmingham Gazette of to-day :
" Some symptoms of willingness to resume their work
are becoming evident among the mill and forgemen, and
the puddiers appear to be the only class who seem reso
lately determined not yet to submit to the proposed
reduction. These, as usual, are the only persons who
have least cause of complaint, us a puddler and his boy
would still be able to earn easily, at the new rate, 93.
per day. Any improvement would be hailed by us with
pleasure, but the severe prostration of business still re-
rnsins unabated, and several additional furnaces have
during the fortnight been put out of blast. The re-
duction of discounts to 4 per cent. might, under other cir-
cumstances, have been attended with immediate beneficial
fructs ; but unfortunately those now most in need are
the very subjects excluded from its operation. A slight
disposition to make enquiries also was observed in the
trade during the closing days of last month, but that
wore away with the week, and again subsided into the
previous gloom. Where a few orders might be
obtained at the re.luced prices, it is impossible to
render them available, through the continued strike,
while confidence is too much shaken to allow of the dis-
posal of the small stocks on hand. A further fearful
shock has been given by the announced difficulties of a
very extensive Liverpool house, Messrs. Jeavons and
Sons, a firm that has always ranked high for industry,
integrity, and judgment, and commanded an almost un-
limited credit. Our own neighbourhood will, it is feared,
be seriously affected by this calamity, as very large
transactions were carried on with the Messrs. Jeavons;
and by parties hero 90,000/. have been stated as the
extent of their liabilities; but hopes are entertained that
some arrangements can be made to avoid serious losses."
The continental accounts received to-day allude to
the increasing abundance of money, especially at Ham-
burgh. From St. Peter.burxh we are informed that
there is to be no alteration this year in the tariff.
The Fends are very quiet to day, and prices are not
quite so good as on Saturday. Consols realise 89*

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCIIANGE-MONDAY.

During last week the lade als of till kinds of Grain of
home produce, coastwise as well as by hind carriage and
sample, were on a •ery limited scale. From Ireland and
Scotland, the receipts were confined to a few parcels of
Oats. The foreign importations comprised Only 2,555
quarters of Wheat, 100 sit-raters of Oats, 100 quarters
or Indian Corn, and 109 barrels of Flour, the latter from
New York. The receipts of Wheat, fresh up to-day
from &sex, were moderatt ly good ; those from
Rent, Cambridgeshire, &c., small. The number of
land carriage samples was by no means heavy.
On the whole the stands were fairly supplied with
both rod and white qualities, the finest of which moved
off steadily, at prices folly equal to those paid on Mon-
day last. In the middling and inferior kinds compara-
tively little business was transacted, at unalterd quota-
tions. The actual supply of Foreign Wheat on the
market was not large, and the bud( of it was greatly
out of condition. Selected parcels mostly sold at
full currencies, but all other kind; commanded very little
attention. For inland consumption the sales were trifling.
With Barley we were very moderately supplied. Se-
lected samples of malting sold at the extreme prices of
last week, with a steady demand. Of the other kinds a
clearance had not be, n affected at the close of business,
yet late rates were mostly supported. Fine Malt was
quite as dear. In other qualities the transactions were
by no means large, at our quotations. Six vessels
laden with Oats were reported from Ireland
this morning ;- yet the supply of that grain
was exceedingly small. However, all kinds were ex-
tremely dull, at barely stationary prices. Beans were a
slow sale, and the turn lower. Peas moved off heavily,
at a reduction in value of fully 2a per quarter. The
best parcels of Flour were in steady request. Country
marks were neglected. India Corn and Meal were
very dull.

Scarcely any stock has bean received from the continent
at the northern outports ; but we learn that, should the
weathfc prove favourable, the imp Itsttions will be large,
within a few weeks from this time. With Foreign
Stock we were :very scantily supplied this morning, the
numbers not exceeding about 90 Beasts, 260 Sheep, and
50 Calves, in the general quality of which a decided im-
provement was noticed. Late rates were mostly sup-
ported, but a twill clearance of the Bouts was not
effected. Fur the time of year the arrivals of Beasts
fresh up to-day by'" drift" and rnilway, were model ate,
and at least threeleurths of tisem wore in full average
condition, especially as relates to the Scots and short-
horns from Norfolk. Although the attendance of
buyers was good, the Beef trade, owing to the dead
markets being well supplie,i, and the unfavourable state
of the weather for slaughtering. was in a very sluggish
state, at. in some instances, a decline in the quotations
paid on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The highest figure
for the best Scots was 4s 8d per Sibs. From Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received
about 1,000 Scots and slit:rt horns; from the northern,
western, and midland districts, 1,000 Herefords,
runts, Deems, &c. ; from other parts of Eng-
land 500 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland,
210 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep
were smaller thaw we ever remember at this period of
the year ; heree the Mutton trade was active, at a rise
