PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 9.—The Java freight ship is
still at Spithead.
The Stro►nboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Amelius
Iltauclerk, remains at Spithead ready for sea. She has
been under sailing orders ever since Tuesday week.
The Champion, 14, Commander M. Hayes, is com-
pleting her internal fittings alongside her hulk. She
is rigged, and looks remarkably well. She has Porter's
anchor.
Orders hare been received from the Admiralty to
expedite the repairs of the Resistance troop-ship, and
extra hands have been put on her this afternoon for that
purpose.
The Prince Regent, 92, Captain W. F. Martin, will go
out of the harbour to-morrow afternoon, if wind and
weather permit.
The Star, 6, Commander C. W. Riley, arrived last
evening from Sheerness, and passed through Spithead to
the westward without communicating.

SMITHFIELD

The supply of English fed beasts here to-day was
small ; that of Foreign on the increase, arid of fair
average quality. Notwithstanding the attendance of
both town and country buyers was limited, the Beef
trade, owing to the falling off in the arrivals of country
killed meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall markets was
very steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond,
Monday's prices, and a good clearance was effected. The
number of Foreign stock were 124 Oxen and Cows, 320
Sheep, and 49 Calves. With Sheep we were again
scantily supplied. All breeds sold freely, at fully the
late advance in the quotations. Calves were in moderate
supply, and steady request, at au improvement in value
of 2d per 8 lbs. Pigs were a slow sale, but not cheaper.
Mulch Cows were selling at from 161 to 181 5s each,
including their small calf.

ALE OF LAMPS—FIFTY PER CENT.
ItEDUCTION.—This is a fact—the tense is an enormous
stock having been purchased from a Lamp louse retiring from busi-
ness, at fifty-seven per cent. under the cost prices. The whole will
be cleared out at this enormous deviation from the actual prices,
from the establishment of the METROPOLITAN LIGHT COM-
PANY, 447, West Strand.
The stock consists of a chaste and extremely beautiful selection
of Table Lamps, for oil and candles: Oil and Candle Chandeliers, a
few Sideboard and Bracket Lamps. Caidelabra, and Candlesticks for
Table :Lad Pianoforte. The Oil Lamps are.fittod tip with the Diamond
Burners, and Candle Lamps •f the ♦ery latest improvement.
An early call, to make the first choice, is recommended, for the
sale cannot last long—the low price will induce all to buy. At one-
half the price every article will be sold.

DERBY SWEEPS.

Mr. G. T. Street, landlord of the Adam's Arms, Hamp-
stead-street, Fitzroy-square (after the licenses were
granted), was called in.
The CHAIRMAN said that there were notices in his
house intimating that he allowed Derby Sweeps, and
asked for what purpose he permitted them?
Mr. Street stated that they were got up by the persons
who came to his house for the purpose of amusing them-
selves.

The CHAIRMAN asked if there was not some prize to
be given away, and what was the highest prize ?
Mr. Street replied that the highest prize was 201., and
remarked that it he did not have some sort of amuse-
[next for his customers, that they would go to those
houses where Darby Sweeps were allowed.
The CHAIRMAN inquired at what other houses they
were permitted ?

Mr: Street referred to some in an adjoining pariah.
The CHAIR3IAN having observed that the Bench had
no jurisdiction over houses in another district, remarked,
that Derby Sweeps had been declared by the Judges to
be illegal, and the Bench had come to the determination
not to tolerate them, as, instead of believing that any
amusement was derived from them, they believed that
an inducement was afforded to the poor man to apply
his money to gambling. He cautioned him (Mr. Street)
not to suffer them at his house.
The license was granted.

LONDON. FRIDAY. MARCH 10, NM

Our representatives will have an opportunity this
evening of revealing their consistency, their decision,
and their patriotism to their constituents. All this
they may accomplish very easily indeed—by walking
into a lobby—by delivering in a vote. Let them
bear in recollection that the question upon which
they will have to pronounce their decision is one of
unutterable importance to the industrial classes of
England, that the tendency of their decision will in
a great measure lead to their rejection or their re-
election on the dissolution of the existing Parliament.
Selfishness must plead with them as well as a disin-
terested ambition to better the condition of their
fellow-countrymen. The love of power must guide
them as well as the solicitude to legislate with
probity. Never were the eyes of the electors 1
of the United Kingdom concentrated with
a more scrutinizing inquisitiveness upon the
men whom they have accredited to the Lower house
than at this critical and unprecedented juncture.
Necessity is the lens through which the national
vigilance is directed upon the proceedings of the
Commons, and that vigilance is enhanced in intensity
at this particular moment by the imminence of the
necessity in which its beams are converged. Need
ere say that the necessity to which we here make
Elusion is the,ftent necessity for economy, both on
-;:the'part of Ifibs, people and the Government ?

deterioration, of commercial wealth resulting from

AYLESBURY ELECTION.

Mr. NE\VDEGATE moved that the petition of
John Peter Deering, Esq.. Member for the borough
of Aylesbury, be referred to the Select Committee
appointed to try the merits of the last election and
return for the said borough of Aylesbury.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE could see no necessity
for the House agreeing to the motion, for all that the
petitioner required would be done by the Committee
without their having :try petition of the sort before
them.

Sir G. CLERK said that, in his opinion, the
llouse had not the power to interfere by referring
this petition to the Committee. The Act of Parlia-
inent clearly defined what petitions should be referred

PETITIONS.

Mr. MUNTZ presented a petition against the
principle of centralization embraced by the Health
of Towns Bill.

Mr. REYNOLDS presented a petition from
Dublin praying for the repeal of the 17th awl 18th
of Charles the Second, obliging Dissenters to contri-
bute to the support of the Established Church.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAUFORD presented a pe-
tition from Rochdale against the present income-tax.
INCOME-TAX.

Dr. BOWRING moved for a copy of the charges
preferred to the Board of Stamps and Taxes, by Mr.
Thomas Jones, late clerk to the Commissioners for
General Purposes for the City of London, under the
Property and Income-tax Act, against r. Edward
Welsh, the surveyor of taxes for the City of London,

PETITIONS
July last in reference thereto.—Agreed to.
Mr. LA
o.f the Chan-
cellor and Scholars of the University of Cambridge
(presented 9th March), be printed with the votes.
Mr. GREENE must oppose the printing of pe-
titions, merely upon the ground that it came from a
respectable body. Some years ago it
was found to
be a matter of serious inconvenience that so many
petitions were required to be printed, and a Com-
mittee was appointed to devise a remedy for the evil.
The result of that Committee was the adoption of an
order by the House, that no petition should be
printed unless the Hon. Member who moved that it
should be printed intended to found a motion upon
it. It did not appear that the Hon. and Learned
Member intended to found a motion upon this peti-
tion ; and, therefore, there could be no necessity to
print it.--(Hear, hear.)
Mr. LAW said he was not at all surprised at the
opposition which had been raised to the motion for
printing the petition. Upon a question vitally affect-
ing the Protestant religicn of this country, he thought
that it might be allowed to one of the Members of
the University of Cambridge to propose that the sen-

Although it is believed
there. no riotous feeling at the
bottom of thi., industrial agitation, it certainly takes place
at a time and under circumstances which subject it to
that suspicion.
EDINBURGH, 1 .50 P.M—Our fears are fast leaving
us. There has been no fresh disturbance, and there is
every appearance of a continuance of law, peace, and
order.

The following is front the North British Mail:—
"We have had as yet no Chartist riot. We have had
no political movement. The riots have originated in
pocket-picking, not in politics. Advantage was taken
of a want of work, wages, and bread—the three points
rather than the six. Then, second, the cry,' Down
with the Queen r was not pronounced in Glasgow. We
deny this statement, as an utter and unfounded false-
hood ; and affirm, with the most perfect confidence, that
we could be supported by the testimony of every indivi-
dual, of any class, who was in a position to see the pro-
ceedings, or to bear the language used in the streets dur-
ing the last two dayg. There never was a Sovereign on
the British throne more generally and more deservedly
respected and esteemed than the Queen ; and the fabri-
cation, per electricity or any other good or evil agency,
of these alarming mis-statements is highly culpable.
The Queen, we believe, has neither more loyal nor
inor,! attached subjects in any city in all her dominions
than in Glasgow; and if any such cry were seriously
uttered or used at all—whatever reforms within the con-
stitution, or whatever changes may be required by many
of the working classes—the task of suppressing that
particular word, which is not the party word of any
party here, could be safely left with the artisans of
Glasgow. Our conviction is strong and unshaken still
that a special constabulary of the artisans would form
the most perfect security against outrage to the property
or peace of the city. The conduct of the operatives at
the Bridgeton:mills is conclusive evidence on that point.
The appointment of two or three intelligent stipendiary
magistrates for this city, we believe, would also be an
improvement."

Secondly—lt can bo converted into a light overcoat at the
journey's end.
Thirdly—lf travelling by night (or even in the day-time) when an
ordinary hat is irksome, a portion of the lining (which is perfectly
concealed till required) can then be brought out, and by a ready and
most simple contrivance, can be converted into a graceful cap or
hood, which effectually protects the head, ears, neck, from cold
draughts of air.

Fourthly—lt has a pocket protector, which, as its name would in-
dicate, preserves from loss the railway ticket or loose cash, &c.
The last, though not least, important distinction presented by the
Nicoll, beyond anything of its nature ever laid before the public,
consists in its moderate price, already submitted in anothor adver-
tisement (to which add half a guinea for the Chiamys Hood). In-
deed, was not the sale of thousands contemplated, Messrs. Nicoll
would lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low prices
quoted.

dom and the Colonies, who, up to the present time, have held a local
Agency for the Sale of the above Patentees original and popular in-
vention called the REGISTERED PALETOT, &c., will also hold the
appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual
conditions.
Gentlemen, Non-Residents in the Metropolis, arc constantly de-
siring that a mode of self-measurement should be published, as also
the addresses of the Country Agents. The first-named object can be
easily effected by moans of public Advertisement, as a descrip-
tion of the number of inches around cheat and waist (taken
under the coat) will alone suffice; but the names of all
the Agents selling Nicolls' Patented Garments are too numerous.
to be described through the same medium ; however, the address of
the nearest shall be immediat ly for warded upon application to
Messrs. Nicoll's Counting House Department, 120, Regent-street,

ITALY.

It was rumoured in Rome on the 28th ult. that the
POPE, instead of going to Naples as it was supposed
he would, had taken up his residence at Benevento.
The Minister of the Interior of Rome has published
a circular to the commandants of the garrisons of the
provinces, informing them of the departure of the
POPE,_ and of the note which his HOLINESS had left
for Marquis SACCIIETTI, and in which M. GALETTI
states he recognises the legality of the Ministry, and
confides to it the maintenance of public order. Ano-
ther circular, addressed to the diplomatic body, is as
follows :

" Excellency,—The Neapolitan journal 11 Tempo has
published a protest, alleged to have been made in the
presence of the corps diplomatique, against the acts of
the actual Government. Without at present wishing to
examine the truth of this protest, it is my duty to com-
municate to your Excellency the copy of an autograph
letter of his Holiness, which the Ministry consider of the
highest importance, on account of the recognition of the
same which it contains. (Here follows the Pope's letter.)
" I am happy to declare myself,
" With the highest consideration,
" The Minister of the Interior, GALLETTL"

The Iligh Council of Rome has published the
following address to the people of the Pontifical
States :
"In the midst of the sorrow with which the absence
of the common prince and father has filled our hearts,
the High Council unite their voice to that of the Coun-
cil of Deputies and of the Ministry to recommend the
people to hope, and confirm them iu the desire of main-
taining public order. The concord among the orders
constituted in the state is the salvation of the state itself
in time of commotion, and such concord will certainly
not be wanting on the part of the High Council, who
will resolutely co-operate in all measures that may be
proposed for the benefit and security of the country.
The people will remember that the tranquill ty of the
Pontifical States is not only necessary to maintain the
reputation for civic wisdom and goodness which it en-
joys, but it is also necessary to preserve and promote the
cause of Italian greatness and !independence, and the
peace of the world."
A letter from Rimini, of the 26th ultimo, states
that an unknown individual having arrived at Cesena,
on the 23d, with a courier, the people conceived
some suspicions, and the carabineers arrested him,
and took him to the Governor. The stranger, after

PRUSSIA.

The Provisional Election Law, under which the
new Chambers are to be chosen, contains what the
draft of the Constitution did not—the property qua-
lification required in a Member of the Upper Cham-
ber. It is very moderate indeed. It is fixed at the
payment of a yearly class (or direct) tax of 8 thalers
(11. 45.); real property to the amount of 8,000 thalers
(1,200/.) ; or a clear yearly income of 500 thalers
(751.) For tile Lower Chamber no proper qualifica-
tion is required.

CAUTION.—We, the undersigned, hereby declare
our intention to institute Legal Proceedings against any
person or persons who, atter the date of this notice, shall make, or
cause to be made, any infringement upon the Patent granted to us
under the title of Improvements In Garments, Pockets, &c.
The said invention consists—Firstly, of a mode or modes of making
or constructing Garments for various parts of the human body ; and,
secondly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Pockets and
other such receptacles. The spirit of the Invention in the first part
may be roughly described as the adaptation of the linings of outer
Coats or Paletots, &c., to a separate Garment and purpose; and, in
the second part, the Pockets or other such receptacles are protected
by the apertures to the same, expanding to admit the hand, and im-
mediately collapsing upon its withdrawal.
We also hereby give notice that we have assumed original and
descriptive titles as our trade mark, whereby the said first and
second parts of our invention may be always distinguished, that is
to say the first part is styled " The Nicoll" (being the abbreviation
of the full title of the Nicoll Chlanays Paletot). and the second part
is called "The Patent Pocket Protector;" and thrther it is our in-
tention to apply to the High Court of Chancery for Injunctions to
restrain, &c., and to employ all other legal means to prevent unau-
thorised persons from applying either of these trade marks or terms
to other articles, or selling or offering for sale any garment, &c.,
belhg au infringement of the said Patent, and by such acts tending
to our injury and the deception of the public.
