"OFFICE OF COMMITTEE OF PRIVY COUNCIL

FOR TRADE.

" WHITEHALL, Feb. 19, 1835.
" Sir,—l have received and laid before the Lords of tl-e
Committee of Privy Council for Trade your letter of the 18th
instant, requesting, cn the behalf of the Shipowaer's Society,
information as to the intentions of the Government with re-
spect to the future admission of foreign timber from our North
American colonies; and their Lordships having taken the
same into their consideration, have directed me to state
to you, for the information of the Society for which you
act, that, in their opinion, the indictment held out by the
existing law for sending round by our North American co-
lonies European timber intended for this market, is an
anomalous incident of a re,:nlation which had a very
different object in view; and that although they cannot at pre-
sent disclose the nature of the correction which they may think
ought to be proposed to Parliament, still it may be due in
fairness to those persons who might otherwise engage in the
circuitous voyage, for the present season, to apprise the trade
that their Lordships do intend to sugest some legislative mea-
sure, the operation of which would prove injurious to the in-
terests of those parties who should adventure upon that voy-
age, under belief that no change would in the mean while be
made in the present state of the law.
" I am, Sir, &c. ( Signed) " THOS. LA CK•
".W. o:iatt Esq., Secretary, Shipowners' Society."

THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY, TWEL VE O'CLOCK.
The utmost excitement prevails this morning in the City,
and the Tories appear dismayed and downcast at the triumph
of Mr. Abercromby being elected as Speaker of the House of
Commons. They are completely electrified, and the knowing
ones at the Stock Exchange have also been completel.,, taken
in, and have lost to a large amount on betting for Sir
Charles Manners Sutton. The prevailing opinion is, that
the present Ministry will not be ab7e to maintain their situp.
tions for any length of time, and the election of Mr. Aber-
cromby has given general satisfaction.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 92i for the Account,
and 921 2. for Money, opened this morning at 91i 92, and are
at present 92. _

Exchequer Bills, 38 ; India Bonds, 20 22 ; Bank Stock,

In the Foreign Market most of the Foreign Securities left
off with an improvement yesterday, particularly Spanish Stock'
which reached 58i to 59 ; Spanish Scrip 6k premium. The
following are the opening prices of this morning --Belgian'
10l 102 - ; Brazilian, 841 85 ; 45+; Colombian'
371+38 ; Danish, 771 4 ; butch, 66i- 57; Greek, 113 Ili;
Spanish, 581 59 ; Scrip, 6 premium ; Portuguese, 92.
Our arrivals this day are, one French mail, with the ex-
press from Paris ; one Dutch, and a Lisbon mail, brought by
the Pantaloon sailed on the Bth instant.' The express froo
Paris is of some importance in respect to the information from
the threatre of war in Spain. By the telegraphic dispatch frool
Bayonne, it appears that General Mina had arrived in persol2
ou the 14th at Elisondo, at the head of two brigades: he left
at Lazand Lezazo two divisions. The Carlists have retreat
Without firing a shot. So much for the Carlists' bulletins an``
their victories.

By the Dutch mail we have a confirmation of the earth-
quake at Batavia, which we gave several days since.
By the Lisbon mail it does not appear that there is all
news of importance : all was tranquil at Lisbon.

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S HORSES.-A St

A THIET-TAKER CAUGHT BY A FERRET'''.
An ex-constable of a parish not a hundred miles from 134"11
notorious for his blundering propensities, on Tuesday week'
whilst driving home from Gainsbro' market in his cart, l'e,th
ceived two men in Wiseton plantations busily employed `rag
a box, which they occasionally opened and shut. This Who
enough to excite his suspicions, but, being one of those 'cut
consider " discretion the better part of valour," he looked °e,
for assistance, and opportunely found " Mine Host" of Dr°o.,
holes with his ploughman in an adjoining field. Thus rein,'
forced, he rushed upon his prey, seized the suspicious box, a
thrust in his hand. A loud shout from all the party acconlll.
nied its rapid withdrawal, for it had been seized by a t'errt:
and the suspected thieves proved to be Earl Spencer's rabbi"

DISCOVERY OF THREE SKELETONS AT GA--
THAM.—In excavating the ground for the purpose of erectl
a house on some open ground in the town of Grantham
Monday the labourers discovered three skeletons, apparel' at
those of two adults and a child. They were in a state of gle
decay. No light has at present been thrown upon the algae
which led to their being interred in this unconsecrated gr°ll°
which is half a mile from the chtirch burying place.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT READING.---L- fit
HORSES BURNED TO DEATH.--Early yesterday mornings ,8,9„
extensive conflagration broke out in the coachhouse,
Tiaerrl,
stabling, &c., belonging to Mr. Lovegrove, of Reading., the
shire; and notwithstanding every assistance rendered bY. ty
labourers and other individuals on the spot, no less than th
horses, together with the barns, stabling, coach-houses, f9',
were destroyed. The late information received of the distre,ot
ing intelligence prevents a minute description, but the los,pa
a moderate computation, is estimated at between 3,0001' atibS
4,0001. ; and painful it is to add, that there can be no 61°,0.
but that it is the diabolical work of an incendiary. Mr. bit
grove is believed to be insured, but not to the amount 04
loss.
