SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Darby, the celebrated firework-maker was sum'
moned to this Court, for having more powder on his
premises than authorised by the Act of Parliament.
Mr. ELLIOTT, the sitting magistrate, postponed his
decision.
Fowler, a young man employed by Mr. Missle-
white, a milkman, was charged with embeazlling vari-
ous sums of money.
Two witnesses were called, who proved to certain
sums paid him.
The prisoner acknowledged the robbery, and called
Mr. Cole, a dairyman, wilt) proved he had known the
prisoner two or three years, and always considered him
honest.

After some little recrimination between this witneso
and the prosecutor, the prisoner was committed.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THB

BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—Monday the 17th was the day of announcing
the different measures intended to be abandoned on
account of the lateness of the period of the session.
Something must be done on this matter by us or our
immediate posterity ; considering that we have
not yet completed the sixth thousand of the world
acknowledged years, and it is as probable as the con-
trary, that there are six thousand more to come. it
is clear that a process of compression of some kind
must be invented; by the token that time and space
are finite, and not even the omnipotence of Parlia-
ment can put more than sixty minutes into an hour.
The phenomenon presented is, that talk does not
produce legislation as it used to do. Time was, that
when the brains were out, and all reasonable points
affecting the question had been thrown before the pub'
lie, the law was made. One cause contributory to the
contrary appearance now, is that there has been 6
change in the seat of legislative power. When corn'
law esquires and protectionist merchants ruled the
roast, they might well be content with less expencli"
tune of speech. But place them in a minority, and
what limit shall be put to their expatiating on a high'
way bill or a sugar duty, and laying in every wounu
the knife that made it, in bitterness of regret for whot
has passed away.
At present the practice of the House seems to
be this ; to talk all night on every single subject,
and then adjourn because it is getting late. N°
better receipt could be invented for having nothing
done. And then this is met, by having early sit'
tings and late. It will be found out at some time,
that business is not better done for being long about
it. In all the ordinary concernments of life, buss'
ness is got through because men know it must be
completed by a certain time; and the experience of
the House at the Wednesday's sittings, which
are ruled to cease at six o'clock, is en'
tirely in favour of the same principle. Let
men know that a thing is to be over by
certain time, and they will do it ; and without
more of complaint from those who say they
could not be heard, than at present. The fact is, that
the time is consumed by licensed bores. Bore after
bore rises, and claims his presciptive right to be heard
by virtue of his patent. I remember that in the old
House of Commons there were men of this kind'
who always caught the Speaker's eye in preference,'
because he considered them as inevitable evils, 116'
wished to get them out of the way.
There can be little doubt, that if there were tvi°
Speakers and the House sat every hour of evert
day and night in the week, there would be just the
same difficulty in getting through with business 6,
at present. It would therefore be worth while to tr.l
the effect of the opposite policy, or shortening tiine;
And the experience of the Wednesdays' sittiqt
shows that the way to produce an effective lio3l
would be to determine that no formation of the
~
House for any one day, should be 'effective for 611),,
other day ; the result of which would be to brefslc. tl,l
the House at midnight, and oblige the fabricators
speeches to curtail accordingly.
Except by the action of some general rule of tbj4,
nature, it is very difficult to interfere with the in,
firniity of long speech-making. Public meet jai;
sometimes attempt an agreement that none shall s!iiel'ot
above half-an-hour ; but the circumstances are But
identical with those of the House of Commons. r
a decision that speaking is to stop at a certain 130,t11,:
is an indirect mode of operating in the same direW°,
On Tuesday the House met at twelve on a qii,e a
tion connected with Highway. rates, and the laii°ed
interest was in an agony. It met again at five, 6n
.
was counted out in five minutes, the subjects b „e
the Audit of Public Accounts, Ballot, and
Hume's motion for making a borough of Chelsea an
neighbourhood instead of Sudbury.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant, .„

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
attention of the Government was directed to the matter,
and when the Bill was in Committee he should state the
intentions of the Government to that House.
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN

HIGH LIFE.

We have it in our power to announce several matri- 1
menial alliances in the higher circles of society, of
Which our readers are not already apprised.
Lord Burghley, eldest son of the Marquis and Mar-
chioness
of Exeter, has contracted a matrimonial en-
gagement with Lady Georgiana Pakenham, second
daughter of the Countess of Longford, and sister of the
present Peer. The ceremony will be solemnized early
in the ensuing month.
We understand that Lady Caroline Grosvenor, fourth
daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of West-
minster, is about to be conducted to the hymeneal altar
by the Hon. Mr. Leigh, eldest son of Lord and Lady
Leigh, of Stoneleigh Abbey. The preliminaries were
only arranged on Friday last, and the ceremony is to
take place early in the next month.

weather being fine for the growing crops, and the atten-

Wheat of home produce was in a very depressed state,
and the late depression in the quotations was with diffi-
culty supported. There was a slight increase in the
supply of Foreign Wheat. Selected parcels may be con-
sidered about stationary ; but the middling and inferior
kinds were to be purchased on easier terms.—No Eng-
lish Barley at market; but the show of foreign samples
was good. All kinds were heavy, and almost nominal
in value. For Malt there was scarcely any demand.
In prices, however, we have no change to notice.—A
very large import of foreign Oats has again taken place,
and which had a depressing influence upon the trade.
The weathered parcels were easier to purchase.—Beans,
Peas, and all other articles commanded scarcely any
attention.

THAMES GRAND REGATTA.
Sinco the meeting of this Committee on Friday, some
slight alterations have been made in the programme,
and the gentlemen amateurs skullers will row three heats
instead of one, thus adding to the sumptuous bill of fare
already announced. It is not expected that at this late
period the Oxford crew will enter for the Grand Chal-
lenge Cup eight-oared race, and the contest will, there•
fore, be between the Thames Club and the Leander.
Should the former prove victorious, they will be entitled
to retain possession of this elegant prize, but we under-
stand that such is not their intention, as they very hand-
somely intend to restore it. The Thames are the favou-
rites for this race, and divide with the St. George's thee
favouritism for the four-oared contest. Messrs. Parker
and Gibson have the call in the pair-oared race, and
llarpour and Perry are spoken of very confidently in
some quarters for the sculls. The Champion Prize
(100 gs.) race is expected to be one of the most gallant at
the meeting, and the general impression of those who
have closely watched and timed their training is in
favour of the Coombes's (the champion's) crew, Newell's
and next Manchester, before either the Clasper's, of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, or the equally celebrated Bell's,
or North Shields crew.

worthy exertions to accomplish what must (if he so
succeeds) be deemed a great national convenience and
advantage, and that, without materially injuring the ex-
isting railways, but generally quite the reverse, prevent-
ing the necessity of making branch railways at a cost of
8,000/. or 10,0001. a mile, scarcely any of which but are
worked at a considerable loss to the parent line.
I have long held, and still maintain, that steam on the
common roads may be made available with success on
good firmly macadamised roads, but with indisputable
success, if two timber tracks, say half a yard wide, on
the plan and principle of wood paving, or about eight or
nine feet of the middle of the road be laid with broken
granite, or other hard stone, combined with an anti-
absorbant concrete, which may be done for 3001. or
4001. per mile, so as to he very durable, especially as the
tire of the wheels are from five to six inches wide. Such
an arrangement would, in my opinion, render success
positively and
Ibsolutely certain.

popular man to Colonel Sherburne, of the United states,
now in London, we are sorry to have seen it stated that
he has been a severe sufferer from indisposition, so much
so, in fact, that he has been forbidden by his medical ad-
visers from pursuing (for the moment) his accustomed
career of philanthropy and usefulness in the promotion
of universal temperance. For some months past he has
not, while staying in Dublin, been so much as allowed to
open and answer letters, on account of the excitement
occasioned him thereby. The Reverend Gentleman
was, at the time of writing, namely, the Sth instant,
at Cork ; but it appears that in the course of the
ensuing month, he will take his departure in the ship
New World, bound from Liverpool to the United States,
for the other side of the Atlantic, in which vessel a pas-
sage has been provided for him by her commander,
Captain Knight. During his sojourn in America, Father
Theobald Mathew will be the honoured "guest of the

venient or agreeable for him to remain in the western

GREAT WESTERN (Birmingham and Oxford

increase the power of the Great Western Company on
the Birmingham and Oxford Junction, so as to enable
thew to exercise an active control over the expenditure
of that line, and to sanction a :Scheme for laying down
the mixed gauge from Fenny Compton to Birmingham.
Several witnesses were called after the case had been
opened by Mr. Burke to prove that the scheme was
quite feasible, but the evidence was stopped by
The CHAIRMAN, who intimated that the Committee
were satisfied with the opinion of the Board of Trade,
that the plan was quite practical, but they wanted the
promoters to show what special reasons existed for ap-
plying the mixed gauge to this particular line.
Mr. BURKE said he would call witnesses to prove the
special grounds to-morrow.
The Bill is opposed by Mr. Austin and other eminent
Parliamentary counsel, on behalf of a large body of the
Birmingham and Oxford proprietors.

its favour.

GROUP No. S.—GREAT WESTERN.—This Bill is to
authorise the construction of an important branch line
from Slough to Windsor. It is opposed by the South-
Western Company, who promoted a rival scheme
from Datchet to Slough in the Commons, which
was rejected on the ground that the passing
of the Bill will be a breach of faith on the part
of the Crown, the Woods and Forests having entered
into an agreement with them to sanction their line, and
theirs only, upon their paying a large sum of money for
the improvement of Windsor Castle and the town of
Windsor. The case was opened to-day and evidence

went 6d cheaper ; Calcutta, middling strong grey 6f: to

RICE.—To-day the market was much better supplied
with East India Rice, and the public sales comprised
11,042 bags and 1,352 pockets. The demand was, how-
ever, active, and the whole sold at full rates for white,
whilst yellow went 3d to 6d higher : Bengal,

made; East India at is 4d to is Gd; Leeward Island
proof Is 7d to is 8d; Jamaica from 3s 3d to 3s 7d for
30 to 35 per cent, good and fine 3s Sd to 4s 4d.
INDIGO.—To-day 596 chests only passed the sale, it
having been adjourned at 12 o'clock. 20 chests were
bought in, leaving 476 sold. There is no alteration in
prices; the biddings were animated for consuming qua-
lities, which realise May rates. Up to this period, 8,248
chests have passed, 2,653 withdrawn, and 2,059 bought
in, which leaves 4,106 chests actually sold. The sale
will terminate to-morrow.

The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' majo-
rity was resumed yesterday, but the petitioners did not suc-
ceed in striking any additional votes off the poll. Another
objection was taken to the validity of the grand jury
cess, but the arguments on the point had not closed when
the Committee adjourned.

COMMERCIAL BANK OF LONDOM
The eighth annual general meeting of the proprietors
of the Commercial Bank of London was held yesterday
afternoon at the Banking-house, in Lothbury; Mr. John
Taylor, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair.
The report congratulated the proprietors upon the
result of the year's operations, and stated that it was a
source of much gratification to find that they were
enabled to continue the dividend of 61. per cent. per
annum, and to make a further addition to the guarantee
fund, notwithstanding a monetary crisis more severe in
its pressure on the mercantile affairs of the kingdom,
than any experienced for many years past. It would be
seen by the balance-sheet, that after writing off the bad
and doubtful debts, and paying the charges and current
expenses of the past year, the net profits amounted to
11,5681. 15s. 2d., out of these profits a dividend, at the
rate of 6 per cent. per annum, for the half-year ending
31st December, 1847, had been already paid, and the
directors had now to declare a dividend for the half-year
ending 30th June, 184 W, at the same rate, and as usual,
free from income-tax. After paying this dividend and
deducting rebate of interest upon current bills, there
would remain a balance of 2,169/. 13s. 4d. to be added to
the reserve fund, increasing that fund with the addition
made during the year to 17,386/. 9s. 3d.
The balance-sheet represented that the subscribed
capital of the bank amounted to 641,400/., and the paid-
up capital to 128,2101. The cash in hand, Government
securities, and bills discounted, amounted to 557,283/.

s. 9d., while the value of the banking premises were set
down at 4,0001., and the balance due to customers at
406,2171. 13s. Ild.

The report was unanimously adopted, after which
the dividend mentioned in it was declared payable the
Ist of August.
Messrs. James Alexander Douglas and Edward Ox-
enford, retiring directors, were re-elected, and Messrs.
Charles Hill (Sheriff of London) and Thomas Winkworth
were elected to serve as directors in the room of Messrs.
Cotton and Collett, who had retired from the board.

Saco.—There is less demand by private treaty for
this article, and former rates cannot be obtained, whilst
160 boxes at auction were taken in at lOs to 20s, and
33 boxes sold at 17s 6d to 18s for middling brown small
pearl. Sago Flour is more in request, and prices are
firmer, sales having been made privately at 15s to 16s 6d
per cwt. West India Arrow-root is not much wanted,
and 2d to is is the value. For Tapioca there is a steady
sale at 3d to Gd per lb.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was a better de-
mand, and the public sales of 77 bags went off with a
fair spirit, upon full terms; indeed, the better sorts of
Honduras silvers went Id higher; Mexican silvers fetched
3s Gd to 3s 7d, and Honduras 3s 6d to 4s ld per lb.
OlLS.—Since our last report arrivals of Fish Oils have
been upon an enlarged scale, and a decline in prices is
apparent, the demand for all sorts having diminished
and for all purposes. For public sale 80 tuns Sperm,
100 tuns Southern, and 10 tuns of Seal Blubber
are declared. Although pale Seal can be ob-
tained at the moderate rates of 241 to 241 ss, still
exporters and home buyers have made purchases with
caution, and holders are willing sellers. For other sorts
the market is in a dull state. Cod has been dealt in
with caution. Southern is not much wanted, and low to
middling quality can be obtained at 221 to 231,
and good 231 lOs to 24l 10s. There continues to be
much dulness in the market for Sperm, and on the part of
merchants there is a desire to press sales. There is
firmness in the market for Linseed Oil, whilst for
home trade purposes a good demand has been ex •

A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman
and directors, and the meeting terminated.

TALLOW .—Although there are sellers of Russian on
the spot upon further reduced terms, still soap-makers
or chandlers are not disposed to enlarge their purchases.
Only a small amount of business has been con-
cluded, and 43s 9d to 44s per cwt are the rates
accepted for fine P. Y. Candle. For forward de-
livery the sales made have been limited, and the rates
accepted are 42s 9d to 43s for the last three months of
the year. Home made is not much in request, but
prices continue to recede, whilst there is a good supply,
and 43s 6d to 44s is the value of nett cash. Other sorts
of Tallow are little required, and must be quoted rather
cheaper, and the supply is good. At auction 217 bags
of Suuth American were sold. For auction the quantity
of Tallow declared is 500 casks. Rough Fat is nut much
wanted, and is offered at 2s 6d per stone.
