MARKET NEWS -{THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the present
week have been on a very limited scale, consequently the show of
samples here to-day was small. Owing to the bad accounts received
from Ireland respecting the potato crop, and the present unsettled
weather, the demand for Wheat of home produce was active, at an
advance in the quotations of quite Is. per quarter, and at which a
good clearance was effected. Holders of foreign Wheat were very
firm, and a lar,,e quantity was disposed of; at an improvement in
value of 2s. per:quarter from Monday. No new Barley at market.
Grinding sorts were quite as dear, but other kinds were neglected.
The supply of Malt was moderate. Selected parcels moved off stea-
dily, other kinds slowly, at late rates. Oats were in brisk demand,
at a further improvement in value of Is. per quarter. All other
Grain unaltered.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of beasts on offer here was limited, and, comparatively
speaking, of very middling quality, owing to which the beef trade
was steady, at fully the advance noticed in the quotations on Mon-
day. There were o'4 sale 119 Oxen and Cows, 700 Sheep and Lambs,
and 39 Calves, mostly from Rotterdam. The number of home-fed
Sheep were smaller than for some weeks past. All kinds moved off
eely, and prices were well supported, while the trade was heavy,
and, in some instances, the currencies had a downward tendency.
In Calves, only a moderate business was doing at late rates. Pigs
were dull, but not cheaper. Much Cows sold slowly, at from lit to
181 each, including their small Calf. Suckling Calves 18s to 28s, and
old store Pigs, IGs to 18s each. Beasts, 653 ; Cows, 135; Sheep and.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET..
The first pocket of new Hops, grown by Mr. J. G. Hart, of Stow-
market, Suffolk, has been disposed of at 9/ per cwt. The quality was
very good. The supply of old Hops, as well as yearlings, is small,
yet the demand is heavy, and prices, owing to the favourable reports
from the plantations, are not supported. The duty is 170,000/.

L%IPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.
POOR LAW.
A return was brought up from the Poor-law Commission-
ers, in answer to an order in Council.
DUKE OF NORFOLK'S ESTATE BILL.
This Bill was read a third time and passed.
MARRIAGES OF DISSENTERS.
Dr. BOWRING presented a petiti•m from the poor-law
guardians of Ilfracombe. They complained that the vestry
clerk of Barnstaple had made his office in the workhouse of
that union, and that was the place where the marriages of Dis-
senters were registered. They conceived that when the law
allowed the celebration of marriages between Dissenteys, it was
not intended that any disgrace should be cast upon them. The
petitioners believed that the registry in such a place was equal
to a contumely on their marriages, and they prayed for an
alteration at Barnstaple. He (Dr. Bowing) therefore begged
to call the attention of the Government to the subject.
GLASGOW COLLEGE BILL.
Mr. WARBURTON disapproved of the passing of this
Bill until some clause was inserted giving the Lords of the
Treasury the power of controlling the funds arising from the
exchange or sale of land.
Mr. GIBSON CRAIG said that it was at least unusual
that such an. impediment should be thrown in the way of a
Bill of this kind at its present stage. But as it was a Bill of
an unusual kind he would explain that all the Government
..uthorities had been consulted respecting its terms, and they
were perfectly satisfied with the proposed change. The
object of the Bill was to remove the College from what
had become a very bad and unwholesome part of
the town to a better locality. The Committee of the
Lords who had sat on the Railway Bill which had been pro.
secuted by the Company who sought to remove the College
to make way for their line, approved of the plan. The
buildings of the College, and the grounds attached, had been
valued at 87,000/., and the property to be given in exchange
was valued at 146,0(101., so that not only was a better locality
obtained, but the trustees were put in
.possession of an entirely
new college. The Government authorities, law officers, and all the
parties personally concerned had been consulted, and all ap-
proved of the Bill, so that, in reality, there was no valid objec-
tion whatever, and he trusted the Bill would be allowed to pass
without ny further delay.
Mr. P. M. STEWART said that ofter what hid fallen from
his Hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh (Mr. G. Craig),
he could not help saying that this Bill was quite unnecessary to
pass in the present session. He might cite the College of Edin-
burgh as an instance. This Bill was to removethe College of Glas-
gow from the centre of the town to a rural locality beyond the
western extremity of the town. And how was this removal
sought? Why all those connected with the college who had
prayed for the removal were the professors, who derived
their remuneration from the class students. Now, what
were the advantages ? They got for the college a rural and
more fashionable locality. But what were the disadvantages?
They went a distance of two and a half miles from the hospital
where the medical students obtained the best of their education.
None but gentlemen acquainted with Glasgow College could
possibly understand the case. The students at that institution
were generally of a poorer order than those in the English
universities, holding situations in warehouses and other places
in the town, the neighbourhood of which enabled them to at-
tend the classes. 'I he Bill might have undergone great inves-
tigation, but no sufficient reason bad been shown for the re-
moval. The only cause shown was the construction of a rail-
way—not a great national undertaking, but a paltry branch,
which wotdd not be of any particular service to anybody. The
system of instruction there all allowed to have been most suc-
cessful.
Colonel REID thought that, as one of the Committee who
sat upon this Bill, it was necessary for him to state that as long
as twenty years ago an attempt was made to remove the
college, in consequence of the badness of the site. The
structure was quite incompetent for its present purposes. The
accommodation for the professors was so bad that they bad not
the slightest advantages for retirement, which, from their posi-
tion were absolutely necessary. Then with regard to the
classes, such was the deficiency that three classes were
absolutely meeting oaily in one room. Then with re-
spect to the hospital. there were now only 240 beds,
which were quite insufficient for the purpose. Now the railway
company offered to provide a new college and a new hospital,
giving a difference of 146,0001. against 87,000/. He thought
this so good a bargain for the college that it ought to be se-
cured as soon as possible, for he believed that though there
was a competition between the promoters of this Bill and the
Caledonian Company, they would Le quite ready to be off
their engagement. The fact was, there was a bad feeling
between the regius professors and the faculty of the college,
and that was the sole reason of the opposition to this Bill.
Mr. HUME thought the Gallant Officer was rather incon-
sistent in his argument ; for if there was a competition, it
surely was rather likely to raise the price than to reduce it.
As concerned the professors, he found that the several autho-
rities of the college were nearly equally divided on the subject
•f the removal, and this was not a question of 'mere pounds,
shillings, and pence, .but was one of public education, which
in Scotland is a matter of national importance. If they sanc-
tioned this removal they would take the college two miles and
a half from the hospital, and that would go a long '
way to destroy the value of the institution altogether.
The Gallant Officer was not aware of what was a fact, that in
Glasgow the people were much disinclined to entering the In-
firmary, and the town was divided into eighteen districts, each
of which was so managed as to give the poor the best benefit
they could obtain from this holsital, and if it were removed
that arrangement would be made completely futile. It was a
mistake to suppose that the present site was unhealthy. The
rooms, it is true, are low ; the structure is on one side close to

the street, but on the other, to the eastward, it was quite
open, and had 25 acres of ground attached to it. By an Act
already passed it wag required that no alteration should be made
in public institutions without the inspection of a Government
officer. Now, no officer whatever has been sent down to in-
spect the building, and no public ground had been made out
for the removal. The Government, he contended, were not
in p .ssession of sufficient information, and he should therefore
move the adjournment of the debate until Monday, in order
that they might be put into better possession of the facts of the
case.

After a few words in explanation from Colonel REID,
Mr. BORTH WICK said that he hoped the Government
would consider the objections of the Hon. Member fur Mont-
rose before giving any decision upon this importaut question.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the late Government, and
also the present one, had taken every pains to obtain proper in-
formation upon this question. Th,y had taken the opinion
of those person who were best qualified to judge on this subject,
and their decision was, that the change of site proposed would
rather be beneficial than otherwise. Under these circum-
stances he did not think that any postponement was necessary.
With regard to the clause proposed by the Hon. Member far
Montrose, he had no objection to its introduction if the Hon.
Member bought it would at all secure, the objects which the
Bill was intended to carry out.
Mr. BROTHERTON said he had been a member of the
Committee appointed to consider this subject, and in his opinion
the evidence entirely preponderated in favour of the removal
of the college. With every feeling against the removal of the
college, the Committee were unanimous in passing the preamble
of the Bill, as in their opinion it would be most beneficial in its
effects. The value of the old college and grounds was
80,0001., and the value of the new college and lands was to be
145,5001., so that no loss could possibly be sustained by the
university itself, or by those connected with it.
Mr. HUME said that he wished time until Monday, when
he could produce the opinions of Lords Cockburn and Mon-
crieff against the removal of the college.
Sir G. GREY thought the proposition of his Noble Friend
(Lord J. Russell) a fair one. It was that the Bill be now read
a third time, and that the last- stage be left till Monday, in
order that any amendment might be considered and suggested
in the meantime.

Lord G. SOMERSET strongly objected to the postpone-
ment, as he did not think it would lead to any alteration of
opinion as to the passing of the Bill. GRAND FLOWER SHOW AND FETE TO ASSIST THE
