taken without the greatest consideration. He could as-
sure—
Earl GRANVILLE rose to order. The order of the
day had not yet been read, and he thought the noble duke
had risen for the purpose of answering the appeals that
had been made to him—and in which he most entirely con-
curred—to postpone proceeding with his resolution that
evening.
The Earl of DERBY said he did not think any appeal
from him would be attended with success after the efforts of
the noble lords who had pressed for a postponement of the
motion. He was of opinion that the best course for the
noble duke to pursue would be to assent to the appeal
made to him. (Hear, hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM said that in the noble duke's
proceeding with his motion he should move the previous
question without discussion
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH then proceeded to ad-
dress the house at great length, and concluded by moving
his resolution.

[LEFT SITTING.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS EVENING.)

The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

The Lords' amendments to bills were con-
sidered and agreed to, and the bills were ordered for
third reading :—Central Wales Railway, Oswestry and
Newtown Railway (Branch Railway, &c.), Caledonian
Railway (Branches to Lanark, &c.), Everton, &c. Drain-
age, Kilrush and Kilkee Railway and Poulnasherry Em-
bankment, and West of Fife Mineral Railway.

TIE ALLEGED BREACH OF PRIVILEGE BY
THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition numerously signed,
but from the inaudible manner in which the hon. member
expressed himself we were unable to ascertain the
locality from which it emanated, against the alleged
unconstitutional interference of the Upper House in
rejecting the bill for the repeal of the paper duty. The
honourable member read the petition, which was very
voluminous, and set forth that in the opinion of the
petitioners the course pursued by the House of Lords was
unconstitutional, as measures relating to taxation, by the
theory of the constitution, originated with the House of
Commons, and any interference with them was an undue
usurpation of power by one branch of the Legislature.

THIS DA Y's MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of the markets held in the provinces
on Saturday were very dull for wheat, at drooping curren-
cies. All descriptions of corn were extremely inactive, and
rather lower to purchase. In flour very little was doing.
Large quantities of wheat continue to change hands in
the continental markets. Prices, however, have shown a
drooping tendency. Barley and other articles have ruled
somewhat firm in value. In the United States an increased
amount of business has been passing generally on English
account.
The arrivals of home. grown produce in the port of Lon-
dart last week were very limited. From abroad the imports
were liberal, viz., 20,381 qrs of wheat, 4,560 barley, 42,157
oats, 40 beans, 125 peas, 3,475 linseed, 3,040 rapeseed, 1,510
maize, 396 sundry seeds, 10,497 sacks and 5,577 barrels of
flour.
A very moderate supply of home-grown wheat was re-
ceived fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage.
Owing to the favourable state of the weather for the crops,
and the liberal importations of foreign wheat and flour, the
demand for English wheat ruled heavy, and all kinds sold
at is to 2s per quarter beneath last Monday's currency.
The general quality of the samples was very middling.
We are tolerably well supplied with foreign wheat. The
demand was trifling in the extreme, and to have forced
sales lower rates must have been submitted to. Floating
cargoes of grain were very dull, and lower to purchase.
The few samples of barley on the stand were taken off
slowly, at about previous rates.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late currencies.
There was a large quantity of inferior foreign oats on
sale; they were rather cheaper, but good sound parcels
were steady.
Both beans and peas, though in short supply, were dull,
at barely late rates.
The flour trade was heavy, and country marks were
fully is per 280 lbs. lower in price.
