In the produce markets to-day there is a remarkable fea-
ture to notice, a declaration of very nearly 13,000 bags of
Mauritius sugar, and which under all circumstances has
gone off much better than was anticipated, the
more especially as many alterations are looked
for in the tariff. In several quarters doubts
were entertained whether Sir Robert Peel really
intended to bring forward the whole of the Budget on the
14th instant, but the declaration last night in Parliament
has set this question entirely at rest. An anxiety, great in-
deed, is exhibited to learn what the alterations are to be.
The holders of British Plantation Sugars, as well as of Mau-
ritius, are pressing sales, under the expectation that there
will be a liberal alteration of the duties upon foreign free-
labour produce. .
There has not been any late arrival announced from the
British colonies to-day.
There has been a heavy market for the Three per Cent.
Consols to-day. Sales have been made for immediate trans-
fer at 9914, and for the Account at 99%, being a fall of % to
% per cent. on the highest value paid yesterday. Bank Stock
has receded from 215 to 213%. The Reduced Three per Cents.
have fluctuated from 993/ to 100, and the New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. from 103% to %. India Stock is 2
per cent. lower than it was yesterday, namely, at 282.
Exchequer-bills are at 60s. to 625. premium.
In the Foreign Funds not a great deal of business has been
trausacted this morning. Austrian Bonds have been done at
115 ; Chili= at 101; Mexican at 364 ; Portuguese at 86 ;
Russian at 1193. The Spanish Three per Cents. have fallen
from 414 to 40%, and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
to 6314.
A vast amount of business has been transacted in the Rail-
way Shares to-day, but the quotations are scarcely so high
as yesterday, as our corrected list of the day will show. The
lnsh lines are daily becoming more in request.

y -E'NGLAN;
OR, THE SOCIAL. CONDITION OF Tfl EMPIRE.D
This Journal was established for the express purpose of forwarding
and aiding the noble work of the Reform of the Social Condition of the
people of England. We would unite on this common ground the good
and great men of- all parties ; we would afford a medium of commu-
nication and public discussion on all subjects relating to this vital
question ; we would show its importance to all classes, and force all
classes to reflect upon it. The task is arduoUs, but the end Is no less
than the salvation of our country. Claiming the support of no isolated
party, and therefore truckling to none, we' call boldly upon Whig,
Tory, and Radical to assist our efforts. It is the cause of self-pre-
servation—the cause of duty—the cause of civilisation—and, above
all, the caus6 of morality and Clif stianity.
In the Numbers already published, besides the usual News of
the week, Foreign and Domestic, Theatres and the Fine Arts,
the following important subjects are discussed by able writers :
—The State of the Church of England—The Social EviLs
of Ireland—Dwellings of the Laboaring
.Classes--The Repeal
Agitation—Necessity for alteration in the New Toor-Laws—Society
and the Doctors—The Revenue—Sanatory Condition of Populous
Towns—Abolition .of Window Tax insisted on--National Education
in Ireland—The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Exeter
The Medical Profession—Shooting and Racing—System of False
Weights and Measures—Proposed Loan Societies--The Game-Laws
and their Champion Mr. Grantley Berkeley—Position of Political
Parties—Allotments for the. Poor—Doctor versus Doctor—Law for
the Rich and Law for the Poor—Moral Effects of Capital Punishment
—Condition of the Roman Catholic Priesthood in Ireland—Railway
Progress—Allotments in Manufacturing Districts—lmportance of
Ventilation, &c., &c.
The following practical subject's will also form prominent topics of
discussion in the columns of YOUNG ENGLAND, and communica-
tions and suggestions upon each are solicited :--
Abolition of Cap tal Punishment. National Sports and Amusements.
National Education. Libraries for the People.
The Poor-Laws. Church Building and the Abolition
The Game-Laws. of the Pew System, as affecting
Sanatory Condition of the Popu- the Rights of the Poor and In-
lation. terests of Religion.
Loan Societies for the Poor. Reduction or Total Removal of
Improvement of the Dwellings of Taxes on Articles of Consump-
the Labour ng Classes. tion by the Poor;
The Allotment System. Encouragement by Rewards and
Foot-Paths and Common Lands. Prizes to Meritorious Ind:vi-
Pu bile Baths and Wash-houses. duals among the humbler classes.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.--DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the ollioial authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Club-;:ruses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, Had which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry eter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at lil tines to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.

THE RAILWAY COMMITTEE.
The discussion on Lord Howick's motion for an ex-
tension of the time allowed for the presentation of Rail-
way and Private Bills to Parliament, will be perused
with the greatest interest at the present moment. The
suggestion offered by his Lordship that the decisions of
the Railway Committee of the Board of Trade should
not be considered conclusive; and his arguments against
the impolicy of vesting se enormous a responsibility as
that which would of necessity attach to such a Board,
were its decisions to be regarded as final, appear to
have been generally approved. Without attaching the
slightest credit to the rumours referred to by his Lordship
that influences had been improperly exerei,ed upon the
subject of Bills for lines of railway, Sir R. Peel coincided
in the objections urged against the present practice, and
expressed his opinion that "it would net be proper to
determine upon the eligibility of one or other line
of projected lines of railroad without affording the
fullest opportunity of investigation." "If (said Sir Ro-
bert) the suggestion of the Noble Lord be adopted by
the House, the effect will be that instead of the time for
presenting such petitions being limited, as at present, to
a period preceding the 15th of April, it will be extended
to twenty one days after the day on which the Board of
Trade shall have made its report." " The Govern-
ment will not be bound by the report of the Committee,
although it will avail itself of the _advantage of its la-
bours."

Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be ti.,rwarded by post),
free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

The question of the eligibility of any particular line
will be finally decided by the reasons adduced by the
Committee for its selection, excepting in cases where
no doubt can exist upon the subject. The extension
of the period for presenting petitions, so far as the
projectors of rejected lines of road are concerned,
would seem, therefore, to be a mere act of justice.
Lord Howick instanced a case in which a sum of
1,200,0001. depended on the decision of the Committee,
and if that were allowed to be final, a jurisdiction would
be given to these 80.0,,mcn over 040 propertfuf indi-
viduals greater than the amount which all the Courts of
Weh,teainster Hall put together were required to adjudi-
cate upon. To invest a board so constituted with this
enormous power was never fur a moment contemplated ;
the original resolution which led to its formation dis-
tinctly intimating that the final decision of any question
of the kind must depend upon the weight of recommen-
dation accompanying the proposed lines, which Sir
Robert Peel affirms will depend upon the reasons ad-
vanced by the Committee for giving a preference to any
one over the other. It will be seen that the further dis- '
eussion of this important question was adjourned to this
day.—Herald.

SHAKESPEREAN LECTURES.—On Tuesday even-
ing last, Mr. Thomas Cross, of Cambridge, delivered his se-
cond lecture on the plays of Shakespere, at the Eastern Lite-
rary and Scientific Institution, Hackney-road; before a highly
respectable and numerous audience, who evinced their
appreciation of Mr. Cross's clever and talented discourse by
marked attention and frequent applause. The play under
consideration was Macbeth, from which several passages were
read by the lecturer with tasteful emphasis and appropriate
modulations. • He commenced his lecture by pointing out the
moral tendency of Shakespere's Writings, which he ably de-
monstrated from a comprehensive view of his works. lie
then, in a masterly style, went through the play, reading
several extracts,• which
.evinced judgment in their selection
and taste in their delivery. The auditory, who were more
numerous than at the previous lecture, seemed highly gra-
tilted with the intellectual treat provided for them. Mr.
Cross's third and last lecture will be delivered on Tuesday
next, at the same place.

Ma. WirLsoNls ENTERTAINMENTS.—Our readers
will be glad to see, in our advertising columns, that Mr.

last, to a very large and fashionable audience, when he was
in splendid voice, and afforded a rich treat to his auditors.
His evenings at Store street will be looked forward to with
recollections of a most pleasing nature by his immense circle
of friends ;nd admirers. •
