COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been
rather firmer, and about 350 hhds have been sold at fully
previous rates. Privately about 100 chests good white Bahia
have been disposed of (for export, at 235, being the extreme
value. The quantity of British lantation landed last week
at the East and West India Docks, was 825 hhds, 22 tierces,
1 barrel, and there were taken for home consumption 737
hhds, 39 tierces, 1 barrel. The stock in the same place is
4,121 hhds, 328 tierces, 736 barrels.

COFFEE.—The public sales have comprised 978 bags Costa
Rica, and 508 bags East India • the former only partly sold
at 50s 6d to 54s for good to fine ord coloury, being former
prices ; nearly all the latter were taken in at 45s to 48s for
good ord Mysore ; a small portion of good ord. Batavia
sold at 38s, being fully the comparative value. Privately
no transactions have taken place worth reporting, with
the exception of about 1,500 bags good ord Ceylon, which
have been sold at 66s to 675, and it is now difficult to pur-
chase at the latter price. A small parcel of Rio, containing
about 2,200 bags, has also been disposed of afloat (in Liver-
pool) at 325, deliverable either in London or a near port on
the Continent. About 500 bags ord Rio have been sold in
this market for cash at 29s to 30s, being comparatively low
prices, but at which rates there are not further sellers.
SALTPETRE.-1,070 bags at auction were all withdrawn, at
24s.for 20i to 20i per cent. refraction.
TALLow.—P.Y.C. is steady at 40s 6d to 41s 3d per cwt, on
the spot ; Town at 43s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—The public sales are going off rather flatly, Congou
being taken in. Prices rule about the same. Green sorts
are best supported.

REPRESENTATION OF TIIE COUNTY OF BUCKS.—
It is fully expected that Mr. C. R. Scott Murray, who has
abandoned the Protestant and embraced the Roman Catholic
faith, will resign his seat in Parliament for Bucks, for which
county he was returned at the election in 1841. It is not
supposed that Mr. Murray will vacate his seat until the
Marquis of Chandos is of age, which will be in September
next, when the son of the Duke of Buckingham will offer
himself to the electorsas a candidate, in the room of Mr.
Murray.
AIDLLE. FAVANTL—After the close of the opera of
La Cenerentola, on Saturday night, considerable anxiety was
occasioned by the fact of the young and fair debutante hav-
ing, whilst leaving the stage, fallen down apparently life-
less. With the assistance of Dr. Wardrup she was, after
some time, recoTered from her trance, and is now better.

MAW AND POLICE.

At the Carmarthen assizes, on the 23d, John Jones, Evan
Davies, John Davies, John Thomas, David Evans, Thomas
Thomas, and another John Thomas, were charged with
having burglariously broken and entered the dwelling house
of one Daniel Harris, at Pontybenissar, on the 12th of August
last, and with having stolen one sovereign, one shilling, and
a promissory note therefrom. The case lasted a long time,
and was terminated by the jury finding all the prisoners
guilty.
Mr. Alderman Wood, who sat at the Mansion-house in the
early part of the day, said he had received a letter from the
Lord Mayor, which had been addressed to him by Mr. Wedge-
wood, the commissioner of hackney carriages, complaining of
a decision which he had come to in the case of a man named
Death, whom he had fined for acting as a conductor, he only
having a waterman's badge. The worthy Alderman said that
he had looked into the case again, and considering the word-
ing of the Act of Parliament and the evidence given upon the
occasion, he saw no reason whatever for reversing the decision
which he had given.
At Union-hall, William Davis, who described himself as
a surgeon, was charged with stealing a bullock's heart from
a shop in the New-cut, and a further charge was pre-
ferred against him of attempting to commit suicide in the
station-house. After hearing evidence, Mr. Traill said he
had his ;opinion of the case ;lout, as the prisoner asserted his
innocence, he should send it before ajury, if the prisoner wished,
but, if not, he should deal summarily with the charge. The pri-
soner requested that he might be allowed time to reflect
'which of the alternatives ho would select, and, his wish
being complied with, after an hour's cogitation, he rose up
at the bar, and, addressing the magistrate, said his mind
was made up, and that he preferred a summary punishment
to a committal for trial. He was then sentenced to 21 days'
imprisonment.
A middle aged female, named Mary Farley, was placed
within the felons' bar before Mr. Norton, at Lambeth-street,
on a charge of murder, in having caused the death of George
Farley, her infant son, aged eighteen months, and also with
having attempted the additional crime of suicide by endan-
gering her own life. The prisoner admitted both charges, and
said she had been so comfortably off in her time that the idea
of being driven to a workhouse, and having her children se-
parated from her, and treated in so indifferent a manner, had
driven her to such a state of distraction that death would
have been a happy release to her, and she very much re-
gretted that she had been rescued from a situation which
must in a few moments have terminated her earthly suffer-
ings. Mr. Norton remanded the prisoner for a future day, and
desired that a note should be appended to the warrant that
she should be taken particular care of.

POOR LAWS.

Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that, in Committee on the
Poor-law Amendment Bill, on clause 56, he would move
as an amendment that " it is not lawful for the said
Commissioners to interfere with the management of
the poor in any parish containing more than 20,000
inhabitants, where relief had hitherto been given
under provisions of local Acts, without first obtaining
the consent in writing of at least two-thirds of the
guardians, or of a majority of the rate-payers.
Captain PECHELL wished to ask the Right Hon.
Gentleman the Secretary for the Home Department
whether he would have printed %ith the Votes the
amendments relative to local Acts ? It would be very
convenient during the recess for Hon. Gentlemen to
know the sentiments of the Right Hon. Baronet relative
to local Acts.

Sir J. GRAHAM said he had last night stated his
intention of posponing the Bill till after Easter. Previous
to the Bill going into Committee, he would take care to
have the amendments in the hands of Hon. Members.
CATHOLIC JURORS.

In answer to a question f;om Mr. BELLEW,
Lord ELIOT said he had received a communication
with respect to the Catholic jurors who were challenged
by the Crown in a case at the assizes of the county of
Monaghan, that had perfectly satisfied him, that
those jurors were not excluded because they
were Catholics, but that in every case there were
valid grounds of the exclusion. He also stated that the
Crown Soticitor, acting on the informations, could not
have taken any other course than he had done. He
was prepared to go into the details of all these
cases ; but the House would see that it could
not be done without exceeding those bounds within
which it was advisable he should confine himself,
London, England, 1844-03-26

COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been
rather firmer, and about 350 hhds have been sold at fully
previous rates. Privately about 100 chests good white Bahia
have been disposed of (for export), at 235, being the extreme
value. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week
at the East and West India Docks, was 825 hhds, 22 tierces,
1 barrel, and there were taken for home consumption 737
hhds, 39 tierces, 1 barrel. The _stock in the same place is
4,121 hhds, 328 tierces, 736 barrels.

Comir..—The public sales have comprised 978 bags Costa
Rica, and 508 bags East India; the former only partly sold
at, 508 6d to 54s for good to fine ord coloury, being former
pricee ; nearly all the latter were taken in at 45s to 48s for
good ord Mysore; a small portion of good ord Batavia
sold at 38s, being fully the comparative value. Privately
no transactions have taken place worth reporting, with
the exception of about 1,500 bags good ord Ceylon, which
have been sold at 66s to 675, and it is now difficult to pur-
chase at the latter price. A small parcel of Rio, containing
about 2,200 bags, has also been disposed of afloat (in Liver-
pool) at 325, deliverable either in London or a near port on
the Continent. About 500 bags ord Rio have been sold in
this market for cash at 29s to 30s, being comparatively low
prices, but at which rates there are not further sellers.
SALTPETRE.-1,070 bags at auction were all withdrawn, at
24s for 20i to zoi per cent. refraction.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is steady at 40s 6d to 41s 3d per cwt, on
the spot ; Town at 43s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—The public sales are going off rather flatly, Congou
being taken in. Prices rule about the same. Green sorts
are best supported.

REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY OF BUCKS.—
It is fully expected that Mr. C. R. Scott Murray, who has
abandoned the Protestant and embraced the Roman Catholic
faith, will resign his seat in Parliament for Bucks, for which
county he was returned at the election in 1841. It is not
supposed that Mr. Murray will vacate his seat until the
I{arquis of Chandos is of age, which will be in September
next, when the son of the Duke of Buckingham will offer
himself to the electorsas a candidate, in the room of Mr.
Murray.
MDiLE. FAvANTl.—After the close of the opera of
La Cenerentola, on Saturday night, considerable anxiety was
occasioned by the fact of the young and fair debutante hav-
ing, whilst leaving the stage, fallen down apparently life-
less. With the assistance of Dr. Wardrup she was, after
sop) time, recovered from her trance, and is now better.

PANORAMA OF HONG-KONG.
The private view of this panorama, which is the latest
production of Mr. Burford, was afforded yesterday in
the gallery, or great room, in Leicester-square. to the
friends of the artist, and-to-day the exhibition is opened
to the public. The general treatment of the subject is
happy, and the details are introduced with great judg-
ment. The scenery consists of rocks, or rather of
mountains of granite and sandstone, a river, and here
and there a house or houses. All these are represented
with truth ; the rocks are rugged and inhospitable,
the river is bright and transparent, and the houses
are in the abstract but little picturesque, but the
artist has nevertheless made a good picture of these
seemingly intractable materials. He has also introduced
English men-of-war, Chinese junks, fishing boats, and so
forth, and all these float so buoyantly upon the waters
that the scene is pleasing and even refreshing to the eye.
The contrast of the British and Chinese marine, the
variety of costume, and many minor details, relieve the
general aspect of the picture, and please as well asin-
struct. As a correct representation of the actual place,
the picture is said by those qualified to judge to be valu-
able for its truth. It is at once a picture and a map.
The view presents nothing like European scenery, and
perhaps nothing like what might be dreamt of by those
who have only heard of Hong-Kong ; but, we are told,
it represents the fact. It is one of Mr. Burford. s best
pictures. .

THE LATE EARL QF LONSDALE.—The mortal re-

MAW AND POLICE.

At the Carmarthen assizes, on the 23d, John Jones, Evan
Davies, John Davies, John Thomas, David Evans, Thomas
Thomas, and another John Thomas, were charged with
having burglariously broken and entered the dwelling house
of one,Daniel Harris, at Pontybenissar, on the 12th of August
last, and with having stolen one sovereign, one shilling, and
a promissory note therefrom. The case lasted a long time,
and was terminated by the jury finding all the prisoners
guilty.
Mr. Alderman Wood, who sat at the Mansion-house in the
early part of the day, said be had received a letter from the
Lord Mayor, which had been addressed to him by Mr. Wedge-
wood, the commissioner of hackney carriages, complaining of
a decision which he had come to in the case of a man named
Death, whom he had fined for acting as a conductor, he only
having a waterman's badge. The worthy Alderman said that
he had looked into the case again, and considering the word-
ing of the Act of Parliament and the evidence given upon the
occasion, he saw no reason whatever for reversing the decision
which he had given.
At Union-hall, William Davis, who described himself as
a surgeon, was charged with stealing a bullock's heart from
a shop in the New-cut, and a further charge was pre-
ferred against him of attempting to commit suicide in the
station-house. After hearing evidence, Mr. Traill said he
had his ',opinion of the case ; but, as the prisoner asserted his
innocence, he should send it before a jury, if the prisoner wished,
but, if not, he should deal summarily with the charge. The pri-
soner requested that he might be allowed time to reflect
which of the alternatives he would select, and, his wish
being complied with, after an hour's cogitation, he rose up
at the bar, and, addressing the magistrate, said his mind
was made up, and that he preferred a summary punishment
to a committal for trial. He was then sentenced to 21 days'
imprisonment.
A. middle aged female named Mary Farley, was placed
within the felons' bar before Mr. Norton, at Lambeth-street,

on a charge of murder, in having caused the death of George
Farley, her infant son, aged eighteen months, and also with
having attempted the additional crime of suicide by endan-
gering her own life. The prisoner admitted both charges, and
said she had been so comfortably off in her time that the idea
of being driven to a workhouse, and having her children se-
parated from her, and treated in so indifferent a manner, had
driven her to such a state of distraction that death would
have been a happy release to her, and she very much re-
gretted that she had been rescued from a situation which
must in a few moments have terminated her earthly suffer-
ings. Mr. Norton remanded the prisoner for a future day, and
desired that a note should be appended to the warrant that
she should be taken particular care of.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock.
The Maryport and Carlisle Railway Bill was read a
second time.

BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY BILL.
Colonel W YNDHAM presented a petition against the
Brighton and Chichester Railway Bill.
➢lr. PAKINGTON presented several petitions in
favour of the Bill.

Lord MARCH moved the second reading of this Bill.
Col. WYNDHAM opposed the motion, and moved
that the Bill be read a second time that day six months,
as two-thirds of his constituents were opposed to the Bill.
Lord ARUNDEL seconded the motion. He said this
railway would destroy some of the best land in the
county; and, if passed, operate as a great injustice on
the inhabitants of the county of Sussex.

...
Lord A. LENNOX supported the 2d reading of the
Bill.

Capt. PECHELL also supported the Bill.
After a few words from Mr. Goring, Mr. Curteis, Mr.
J. A. Smith and Sir Charles Burrell,
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided, when the numbers were—

For the second reading 99
For the amendment 4B
Majority for the second reading —sl

The Bill was then read a second time, and was
ordered to be committed to-morrow.

STRATFORD (EASTERN

COUNTIES) AND

THAMES JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL.

An HON. MEMBER moved the second reading of this
Bill.

Colonel Fox, Mr. Hawes, and Lord Mahon, presented
petitions against the Bill.
Colonel FOX said that the alleged object of this Bill
was to carry coals, but if that were the only object there
were already two canals which were sufficient for that
purpose. his constituents were opposed to the Bill, and
he should move that it be read that day six months.
Mr. HAWES seconded the amendment. He could
name several persons of property that were opposed to
the measure, and almost all the people of Stratford were
opposed to it. As no public advantage would be de-
rived from it, the expense of going into Committee
ought to be avoided.
Mr. WARD knew of no ground which should pre-
vent a Bill going into Committee which had been allowed
to go into Committee last session. He hoped the House
would not prevent the Bill being committed.
Sir W. JAMES said there was no cause for opposing
the Bill.

The amendment was ultimately withdrawn, and the
Bill read a second time.

The Cwm Celyn and Blaina Iron Company Bill was
read a second time.

The Colchester' and Harwich Railway Bill was read a
second time. '

The report of the Norwich and Brandon Railway Bill
was further considered for the purpose of introducing
an amendment.

abound in that tasteful humour which is his peculiar forte, and in
which, through the whole range of English literature, he is without a
rival. '—Atlas.

THE MERCHANTS WIDOW.

ESSRS. GLYN, MILLS, and Co., Bankers,
Lombard-street, City, have kindly consented, from their
perfect knowledge of the parties, and very distiessing case, to RE-
-SV.BSCRLETIONS for the WIDOW of a MERCILA.NT of
'TlreTifror-London, whose bankers they were for many years, but
whose unfortunate speculations have reduced his widow from afflu-
ence to absolute want. She is now lying on a sick-bed helpless, and
destitute .f the means of procuring any necessary in life; having sur-
vived those nearest and dearest to her, she is left in the most forlorn
state ; she therefore prays this may meet the eye of some charitable
Christian blessed with the power to relieve the unhappy widow
under such peculiarly distressing circumstances. The bankers will
give every satisfactory explanation, where donations will be most
gratefully acknowledged, and also by the widow herself.

The account of the execution of Bonet and twenty-three
of his companions at Alicant is confirmed by intelligence
from Madrid of the 11th inst. The Madrid Gazet:e contains
a dispatch to that effect from Roncali, and also a proclama-
tion calling for some members of the rebel junta to surrender
themselves, and decreeing the punishment of death on any
one found guilty of concealing them. A new municipal go-
vernment has been chosen at Alicant.

Queen Christina was not expected to reach Aranjuez be-
fore the 19th. There were current rumours at Madrid of a
general amnesty being contemplated, and of its not being in-
tended to assemble the Cortes before October, the period at
which the Queen would have accomplished her 14th year.
M. de Saint Priest has submitted to the Chamber of Depu-
ties a proposition for reducing the general postage to four sous
the letter. The net revenue of the Post-office, under the
present system, amounts to 25,000,000 f. or 1,000,000/. The
motion was to come on for discussion on ➢ionday.

Letters from Malta, of the 6th inst., mention the receipt of
intelligence from Athens, announcing the resignation of the
Ministers Metaxas and Skinas. Their successors were not
known.

Accounts from Constantinople, of the 27th of February,
state that the greatest excitement has been caused at the
Porte by the demand of the English and French Ambassadors,
that the Sultan should give a" formal engagement to forego
hereafter all religious executions. After the arrival of
dispatches from the English Government for the Legation,
a conference was held between Sir Stratford Canning and
Baron de Bourqueney, the Minister of France, subsequently
to which, the first interpreters of the British and French Le-
gations proceeded to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, with a
new communication relative to the subject. On the following
day the principal Ulemas met in council, under the presi-
dency of the Sheik-el-Islam, the head of the religious De-
partment, to consider the contents of the communication.
Two other Councils were held at the Porte for the same pur-
pose, but the result was not known at the departure of the
mail.
