INICtNEY and COMMERCIAL NEW F.
CIT If, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cat'on, at Liverrool, on Sa'u-day, were
5,000 bales, of which 500 were taken on speculatiore
rho market closed heavily. The sales comprised 4,500
bales of American at to 9J.; Peruvian and Marin-
ham at 61, i. to 7;0; and 300 Surats at 4 id. to s'. per lb.
—la R.ntway Shares a fair business was done, with but
little variation in prices.
There has beeu a firmer market far grain this morn-
ing, and the supplies have fallen ofv.
The Coetinental mails have not generally reached in
due course, but vse have accoutas from Amsterdam
which give the quotation of Dutch Two.and• a-Half per
Ceet at 551 to 11-16, of Peruvian at 82, and of Greek
at b to 91.
Atte mime may be u:-..efully called to a letter addressed
by the French Minister of Commerce to the Chambers
of Commerce, upon the trade that might be strum. felly
prosecuted with the Celebes, and it is asserted Cate
Holland and France have a better cbanco in this respect
than any other country. At present these islands are
inadequately supplied, and certain articles would sell
well. Alsace fabrics, fire-arms of a peculiar make,
and varying to suit the very different taste
of the natives, white and red cotton marked No. 40,
and an assortment of silks in handkerchiefs, &c., with a
little wire and brandy, and some fancy articles, could be
sent advantageously to an extent that would freight
three or four ships, and their disposal would be t asy,
provided good faith were observed in the description of
the merchandise, since the local merchants are now in
the habit of relying implicitly upon the factory marks. -
The returns could be obtained in bills upon the Java
Treasury, but coffee of fine quality, gold dust, tortoise-
shell, rice, cocoa-nut oil, &c., are to be had.
'The intelligence from Paris is still deemed unsatisfac-
tory by some parties, although the prices of the Rente
continue to advance. The feature most disliked is the
alleged spread of Socialism is the provinces, but
a shrewd suspicion exists in some quarters that
this is magnified by the journals in the in-
tereet of Louis Napoleon for the purpose
of more firmly fixing him in power, and rallying to him
the friends of order and established government. It is
certain that, d•-spite the improvement in trade, compared
with what was doing a few months since, there is not full
employment for the capital available in France, and
this is best shown, perhaps, by the accumulation of specie
in the Bank vaults. The foreign commerce of the Re-
public, however, must he bringing employment to its
artisans, and if confidence be not impaired, the home
trade will benefit by the more liberal expenditure that
has been commenced among the higher classes.
The English Funds have been rather variable, but the
approaching settlement of the account is the chief thing
that now influences prices. Consols have been 953 to
95i for Transfer fur Tnursday, but with very little doing.
The majority of the speculators, it is still asserted, are
Bulls, but the belief in other quarters is, that there has re-
' cently been a good deal of selling, which will greatly
counterbalance the time purchases. Money is a little
dearer, say 4 per cent. in the discount market, but
a speedy adjustment of the Greek dispute,
and a continued improvement in the revenue here,
would go far to restore that confidence which was so
strong be fore the Russian loan was announced, a loan,
by the bye, which indirectly supplies to the Autocrat the
means of intriguing against us at Athens. The New

Greet activity is observable still in many cf the Fo-
reign Securities, and the quotations are buoyant, though
sutoect to considerable variation. The value of Peru-
vian comes higher from Amsterdam, but here it has

Since our last report very moderate supplies of coun-
try-killed meat have been received up to there markets;
bat those on offer killed in the metropolis have proved
seasonably extensive. From its erarcity, fine Mutton
has commanded a steady sale, at an nth ante in the quo-
tations of 21 ior 8 lbs. In Veal a full average umour.t
of business has been transacted, at- full prices, All
other kinds of meat have met a very slow inquiry, and
late rates have been with difficulty supported. A few
carcatcs of house Lamb have been disposed of.

are by no means extensive, the demand far most descrip-
tions is heavy, and prices have a downward tendency.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The supplies cf home-grown Wheat on offer in the
leading country markets held on Saturday were bet
model ate; nevertheless, the demand for most descrip-
tions was in a sluggish state. Fine panels were mostly
disposed of at full prices; but the value of the middling
and inferior kinds gale way is per quarter. In Spring
Corn very little business was transacted, at barely pre-
vious rates. The prices of Grain in the Tear continental
ports are relatively high. In the United States Flour is
held at somewhat enhanced currencies. The navigation
of the Baltic is still closed. Up to our m arket last week,
coastwise, the arrivals of Grain were very small. Those
from Ireland and Scotland were trifling in the extreme.
From abroad we received only 593 quarters of Wheat,
2,800 of Barley, 3,406 of Beans, 47 of Linseed, 258 of
lia[eseed, 450 of Indian Corn, and 1,9g9 sacks of Flour.
The continuance of strong gales of vvind having pre-
vented the arrival of several ships laden with Grain,
the receipts of English Wheut fresh up to this morning's
market was very small, and its quality was by no means
good, owing to the prevailing damp weat;aer. The Essex,
Kent, and Suffolk stands were unnsuailly bare of sam-
ples of both red and: white; and the demand] for all
kinds ruled steady, at prices quite eqr.al to those ob-
tained on Monday last. Prior to the close of business a
good clearance had bcen effected. Sew ,ral offers cans
to hand from our various eastern shipping ports to
forward Wheats at very low prices; but as there is
every prospect of early and large import stions from the
continent, scarcely any contracts were entered
into. The show of fresh foreign. Wheat was
trifling ; but the market was well supplied
with granaried samples. Fine qualities sold to a
fair extent, at full rates of currency. In the middling
and inferior kinds very few sales of magnitude took
place, and late currencies remained unaltered. There
was evidently more disposition on the part of the im-
porters to hold. For the time of yea r the supply of
Barley, both English and foreign, was tolerably good.
In grinding and distilling qualities rather more business
was transacted, at full quotations. ti [tilting parcels
were dull, but not cheaper. The quantity of Malt on
offer, ready for delivery, was large. early all kinds
met a very slow inquiry, and late, rates were
with difficulty supported. Very few Oats were
on offer from any quarter. On the whole, the
Oat trade ruled firm, at full price.; The
market was very moderately supplieti with Peas,
the demand for which was in a sluggish sttite, at previous
quotations. Very few English Beans were brought for-
ward; but the supply of Foreign was gooel. Most kinds
moved off slowly, at late rate?. Indian. Corn and Meal
were offering at reduced price?. There was rather more
doing in Flour at last week's currencies. The nominal
top price of the best town-made was 40s p er 2801bs.

As the navigation in Holland is still t close 3, anti as
the weather has been extremely boisterc us, the imports
of foreign stock into London last week w ere small, viz ,
971 head. During the same period in 184 8 the importa-
tions amounted to 260, and at the same 1 ime in 1849 to
1,408 head. The gensral quality of the :tuck at hand
since our last has proved interior.

THE LATE C. E. HORN.—Some time since we re-
corded the death of Charles Edward Horn, ono of the
moat popular musicians of his day. We are glad to tee
that on Tuesday next a conceit will be given at the
Hanover-square Rooms, for the lelefit ( f the sisters of
the deceased composer—MN. Sewell and Miss Horn.
Mr. Horn is chiefly known to the general publio as hav-
ing written those very popular songs, " Cherry Ripe,"
" ire been rooming, " The deep, deep sec," and others
of the same class; but his best known musical composi-
tions were of much higher pretensions, and would have
secured him a respectable place among contemporary
musicians had he not been otherwise celebrated. Our
readers cannot have fergotteu that Mr. Horn was also a
tenor singer ( f :no slight pretensions. Among the
pieces to be performed on Tuesday is an oratorio (of
[horn's composition), entitled .Daniel's Prediction. A
number of distinguished vocalists have offered their Kr-
viceg, and we sincerely hope that the benevolent object
of the promoters of this conceit will be attained. It is
almost en act of just. cc to raider a service of such very
eav performance to the deprived survivors of one who
in his time contributed so much to the enjoyment of the
public.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY ll, lB5O

first part in The Waterman; but they might do so as a
matter of courtesy.
[Here both his Lordship and the learned Counsel
complained of the intense cold which was suddenly
felt, occasioned, as it vas believed, by a blast of cold
air having been thrown into the court by the party hav-
ing charge of its ventilation.]
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS (adverting to the cold) said,
The only thing we regret, my Lord, is that we have not
the Reid here to be shaken by his own wind.—(Loud
laughter.)
Mr. Fenton resumed—Did not knew that Miss Hur-
land was a laly of considerable personal attractions; he
left others to judge of that.—(Laughter.)
William Stokes, the cell-boy at the theatre, proved
that on the night in queztion, when Miss Harlard refused
to play, he c'elivered a message from either Mr. Mal-
dox or Mr. Fenton to Mi.s Harland that the music was
*taken out of the part of Wilhelmina, and that she
consequently refused to appear in the part.
Miss Julia Murray—l am an actress. I was at
Sadler's Wells Theatre on the afternoon cf the 17th
April last, and saw the plaintiff there. I had previously
seen the name of Miss Harland in the bills of the
Princess's Theatre that day to play Wilhelmina. Mr.
Hoskins seemed very much astonished at that commu-
nication.

Mr. Frederick Mellon—l am an actor. I saw Mr.
Hoskins on the day Miss Harland was to play
Wilhelmina at the Princess's, and accompanied him
to his house, when Mr. Hoskins told his wife she was to
appear in the part at the Princess's that night, the part
of Wilhelmina. She was very much surprised, and then
wroto a note to Mr. Maddox.

Cross—c xamined—The plaintiff's wife is the daughter
of Henry Wallack. She some years ago played Kitty
in the farce of Shocking Events, at Sadler's Wells.
Mr. HUMPHREY thought it a shocking eveLt that she
should have done so—(Laughter)—but could not per-
ceive
how that could affect the matter in issue.

His LORDSHIP was of the same opinion.
Mr. Richard Marsh—l am a performer. My theatrical
name is Henry Marston. I call the Waterman a musical
farce. I never knew the part of Wilhelmina in it played
without music—l mean without Wilhelmina singing in
the part.
Cross-examined—Believed when a new song was sub-
stituted for an old one in a piece, such new song was
previously submitted to the revision of the Lord Cham-
berlain. Had known the " Marseillaise" introduced into
a piece without the Lord Chamberlain being consulted.
Miss Halkett Rafter—l am a prima donna. I have
never played Wilhelmina in the Waterman, but it has
been played by many prima donnas. I never knew it
played without the music; certainly by ne lady of posi-
tion. lam now prima donna at Drury-lane.
Cross-examined—There was no grand opera played
at Drury-lane at present. I have played in musical
pieces at Drury. lane this season. I have played in Rob
Roy three times this season, and the musical part in the
Merchant of Venice. Guy Mannering has not been
played at the theatre this season, but it has been in re-
hearsal, and I took the part of Diana Vernon.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE

BRADFORD REFORNI ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—O., Wednesday the Gth two votes connected
with one and the same subject took place, which pos-
sess importance, and may usefully be explained. On
a motion for a Select Committee to inquire into
grievances in Ceylon, Mr. D'lsraeli moved an Amend-
ment by which the House should "express its disap.
probation of the manner in which her Majesty's
Government have evaded the understanding of last
session" for the production of witnesses. Mr. Bright
took the lead in stating, that the question had not
been brought to a point where it was proper to ask
for a vote of censure on the Government; and the
Liberals in general followed him, leaving the Amend-
ment in a minority c f 68 against 140. Immediately
afterwards, Mr. Hume proposed to add to the original
question a summons to witnesses from Ceylon to
attend the said Committee, and the motion was only
lost by 100 against 109. A sufficiently significant
warning that there is a feeling on the general subject
which it is wisdom to attend to.

On Thursday motion was made by Mr. M'Gregor
for forming the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea,
Fulham' and Hammersmith, into a Parliamentary
borough, to return two Members to Parliament, to
fill up the vacancy caused by the disfranchisement of
Sudbury. Nobody can tell whether the opposition to
it was serious, or meant for a sportive imitation of a
classical composition known under the title of the
"Noodle's Oration." If Kensington, &c., why not
Knightsbridge; and if Knightsbridge were admitted,
why not Turnham Green ? And were the people of
Kensington, &c., such as it was most desirable to ad-
mit into the representation ; were they of the caste of
man, a hundred and twenty thousand of whom ought
to be admitted to the same power in Parliament as
three hundred in an agricultural borough ? Were
they not notoriously men given to " pribbles and
prabbles," much in the habit of discussing in parish
meetings, and presenting anything but a guarantee
for the preservation of " order " and good govern-
ment ?

There is no answering such reasons but by falling
back upon the general question. The time cannot be
far off, when it will Le discovered that a man is a
man, and as such has a right to be represented, with•
out leaving to some mysterious tribunal to decide
whether twenty Members of his sending shall count
for one, or fifty, or ten. The question may, if
chosen, be separated from that of the extension of
the suffrage. Assume any criterion of suffrage that
may be named; and the question is, whether after
that, the representatives are to be classed by twenties,
or fifties, or tens, to balance one of some favoured
kind. In all this, who is to be Grand Regulator ?
Perhaps we shall be told, it must be those who at
present have the power. It may be so ; but this is
only a reason why means should be used to make
those who have the power, reform.
On Friday Lord John Russell made his declaration
on the intended colonial policy of the Government.
If words are things, it is impossible that such a speech
should not have weighty results ; for even if they
were not intended to be true, no man could get out
of such words and their consequences. It was not
possible to hear such an address, without at all
events a lively feeling of the distance to which we
have got from the old days of cant and prejudice,
when nations were governed by the tinkling cymbals.
of party cries and national sillinesses. Not a word of
British Supremacy, nor Colonial Dependency, nor the
Anglo-Saxon race. " Mr. MAher-Country " must
have been in despair, at hearing a discourse from a
Minister so stripped of all he had held dear. It is
not too much to believe, that we may have here the
commencement or the marked advance of a system,
ending in making this country the source and origin
of free communities, which shall hold its name in re-
spect, though time and change should even obliterate
the soil men called the father-land.

The colonies are to have representative constitu-
tions, with limitations and deductions in some few
instances, which it is difficult to quarrel with when
there is such a great disengagement of good upon
the whole. And they are, moreover, to have the
power of altering their constitutions under certain
rules, if the present do not work. One point which
will be highly interesting to many within this
country is, that it is to be constitutional law in all
the colonies, that the aborigines are to be " True-
born Englishmen," as fast as they comply with cer-
tain provisions, the principal of which are understood
to be, that they shall read and write English and
have a house. The declaration of the Government
on this subject, in reply to question asked, was
made with clearness and good-will. There is some-
thing more magnificent in this than ordinarily illu-
mines the routine of public business. England
stretches cut her hand, to be the guide to the less
favoured portions of the human kind, without distinc-
tion of complexion, form, or race, in moving from the
ills of barbarous to the blessings of civilized life, as
herself was led when her tattooed and painted sons
were taught to emulate the sciences and arts of Rome.
It may be that more hangs by this than meets the
eye. What if the struggle for and against the
permission of Slavery, should within the life-time of
our children be the turning-point of England's politi-
cal existence ? Are we not daily outraging the insti-
stutions of a strong and growing country, which
knows no good but Slavery, and feels the
" Slaves cannot breathe in England" a standing inva-
sion of its hearths and homes ? And have not the
descendants of our negro-drivers promised, within
the duration of existing lives, to have fifty thousand
men drawn up behind the Horse Guards, and shift
the flag at Windsor Castle ? Of course the first
stipulation for peace would be, the legalisation of
Slavery in England, :and particularly in Ireland,
where the peasantry are getting ready for the latest-
born of modern philosophy the " beneficent whip."
Greater things have grown out of less cause. In the
meantime, go we on ; and God be with the right.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.
London, 11th Feb., 1850.

"NO."
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
Would ye learn the bravest thing
That man can ever do?
Would 30 be an uncrowned king,
Absolute and true?
Would ye seek t) emulate

All we learn in story,
Of the moral, just, and great,
Rich in real glor) ?
Would ye lose much bitter care
In your lot Lelow ?
Bravely speak out when and where
'Tis right to utter "No."
Learn to speak this little wcrd
In its proper plcce—
Let no timid doubt be heard,
Clothed with sceptic grace.
Let thy lips, without disguise,
Boldly pour it out;
Though a thousand dulcet lies
Keep hovering about.
For be suto our hearts would lose

Future years cf. woe,
If our courage could refuse
The present hour with " No."
When Temptation's form would leAd
To some plc a ant wrong—
When she tunes her hollow reed

'ru the syren's song—
When she oilers bribe, and smile,

And our conscience feels
There is nought but shining guile
In the gifs she deals,
Then, oh! then, let courage rise
To its strongest flow;
Show that ye are brave as wise,
And firmly answer "No."

Ht arts that are too eften given,
Like street merchandise—
Hearts that like bought slaves are driven
In fair freedom's guise.
Ye that poison soul and mind
With perjury's foul stains,
Ye who let the colt world bind
In joyless marriage chains,
Be true unt) yourselves and God,
Let rank and fortune go;
If love light not the altar spot,
Let Feeling answer " No."

Men with goodly spirits blest,
Willing to do tight,
Yet who stand with wavering breast
Beneath Persuasion's might,
When companions seek to taunt
Judgment into sin;
When the loud laugh fain would daunt
Your better voice within,
Oh! be sure yo'll never meet
More insidious foe;
But strike the coward to your feet,
By Reason's watchword "No."
Ah, how many thorns we wreathe,
To twine our brows around,
By not knowing when to breathe
This important sound.
Many a breast has rued the day
When it reckoned less
Of
:int stint) upon
st huepirnmOrthall " Nay"
e,,yes”
Many a sad repentant thought
Turns to " long ago,
When a luckless f.ste was wrought
By want of raying " No."

Few have leant to speak this word
When it should be spoke.),
Re3olution is dr furred
Vows to virtue broken,
More courage is required
This one word to say,
Than to stand where bhots are fired
In the battle tray.
Use it fit!y, and ye'll see
Many a lot below,
May be schooled and nobly ruled
By puvvett o utter "
