LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1845.

The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Woolsack sv
Five o'clock.

Before that hour, however, the Church Acts Amend-
ment Bill had been read a second time, and, on entering
the House,

The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his astonishment
that such an impoi tant Bill should have been forwarded
a stage before he had entered the House, and before the
usual hour for commencing public business.
On the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, the
Maynooth Bill, which had been brought up from the
Commons, was read a first time, and the second reading
was fixed for Monday, June 2.
Lord BROUGHAM laid on the table a Bill for securing
the payment of small debts, which was read a first time.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE :presented a petition
from the conference of delegates against the Maynooth
Bill.

The Earls of CHARLEVILLE and of WINCHILSEA. both
wished that a later day should be fixed for the second
reading of the Bill; but the Duke of WELLINGTON was
inexorable, and said that the Bill should be read a second
time on the 2d of June.
Earl FITZWILLIAM moved for a Committee to con-
sider how far it was practicable to introduce a better
mode of valuation of lands taken for railway purposes.
Lord STANLEY, on the part of the Government,
would not oppose the motion; which, after a few words
from Lord BROUGHAM, the Earl of WICKLOW, Lord
HATHERTON, and the Marquis Of LONDONDERRY, was
agreed to.

The House of Commons met at Four o'clock.

The second reading of the Lady's Island and Tacum-
shin Embankment Bill was opposed by Mr. REDING-
TON. On a divison, however, it was carried by a ma-
jority of 9S, the numbers being—for the second read-
ing, 113 ; against it, 17.
Mr. S. WORTLEY moved—That the following clause
be inserted in all Railway Bills passing through the
House :—" And be it further enacted, that nothing herein
contained shall be deemed or construed to exempt the
railway by this or the said recited Acts authorised to be
made from the provisions of any general Act relating to
such Bills, or of any general Act relating to railways,
which may hereafter pass during the present or any fu-
ture session of Parliament. And that the said resolution
be a standing order of this House."

After a short discussion, the debate was adjourned
Monday.

Mr. Hu 1E withdrew his notice of motion for a call a
the House.

The second reading of the Academical Education
(Ireland) Bill was postponed till Friday next, as was
also the second reading of the Poor-law Amendment
(Scotland) Bill.

On the motion that the order of the day be read for
the House resolving itself into Committee of Supply on
the Navy Estimates,
Sir C. NAPIER complained of the manner in which
the money voted for building ships had been squandered,
and entered at length into the merits of the various ex-
perimental ships which had been recently sent to sea.
Sir G. COCKBURN briefly replied ; after which the
House went into Committee, and several sums were
voted for the service of the navy, without material
discussion.

The Chairman then reported progress, and the House
adjourned at Half-past One o'clock.

There was a good deal of sound constitutional doc-
trine in Lord Jour,' RUSSELL'S speech of Wednesday
night last, on the subject of party. For such a dis-
course the third reading of the Maynooth Grant Bill
undoubtedly furnished a very apt text, and we hope that
Lord INGESTRE will not lightly forget the somewhat
severe illustration into which Lord JOHN was so kind as
to manufacture him, of that embodiment of party
" which has all its defects, and none of its
redeeming good properties." There is a small class
of very small politicians, whom it is expedient
to instruct in the salutary lesson, that party, however
good it may be in relation to its results and influences
on the service and welfare of the public, cannot be
tolerated for palpable objects of private advantage. But
the remarkable division of Wednesday shows such a
singular fusion of parties, such an array of con-
fused and conflicting opinions on the side of a
measure of justice and liberal feeling towards our
Roman Catholic brethren of Ireland, that we would
fain draw from it an augury of permanent
benefit to the highest interests of the public, through
the toning down of extreme opinions, the abandonment
of personal prejudices and distrusts, and the combina-
tion of political antagonists in a brave and generous
alliance to uphold the institutions of their common
country, by giving to all classes of the community a
genuine and equal interest in them. Could we but
evoke from the marshalled benches within the House,
where men on both sides, for the most part,
follow as accurately and obediently the tactics of
their political leader, as a line of newly-drilled soldiers
watch the motions of their fugleman—could we but evoke
many such divisions into the lobbies without, we might
reasonably hope that the reign of common sense and
truthfulness was at hand. Men would soon be brought
into a habit of voting as they thought, not as they were
whipped, as it is called in Parliamentary parlance. The
principles of free trade would find new exponents, who
would awaken, as from a dream, to a sense of wonder
at the perverse tenacity with which they had
adhered, during many years, to the errors of
political connexions, the bond-slaves of monopoly
—instead of acting upon the more enlarged
views which in these mixed divisions they could not but
have learned to appreciate. We should have Colonel
SIBTHORP coining forward as an active Committee-man
in conducting Railway Bills ; Sir ROBERT INGLis
bringing in appropriation clauses for the better em-
ployment of the surplus revenues of Deans and Chapters ;
Mr. PLUMPTRE seconding Lord MANNERS' motion for
the repeal of the Statutes of Mortmain ; Mr. W. MILES
mooting the abolition of all restrictive duties on the trade
in Foreign Corn; and Sir ROBERT PEEL himself agitating
for the repeal of his Currency Bill of 1819, and its com
plement of 1844.

Party must be, per se, quite as good a thing as Lord
JOHN RUSSELL insisted that it is, if it can accomplish
mutations like these. Were some of the diversities pro-
duced by the divisions on, and after, the third reading
of the Maynooth Grant Bill less extravagant? Assuredly
not. Now the moral we would have Hon. Members
to collect from these is simply this—having made a be-
ginning and broken the ice, as it were, in their
accidental encounters with former political opponents,
on certain common grounds of political sentiment,
influenced in the main, perhaps, rather by a
sense of equity, than on calculations of statesmanship,
let them proceed to discover and to occupy the nume-
rous other grounds on which they may meet the just
advocates of the more matured opinions on great
economic and social questions. It would be, doubtless,
romantic to expect at any early period the advent of this
sort of political perfectability; but we may gravely hope
that a few such electrifying shocks as the
divisions on the Maynooth question may bring
the more intelligent representatives of the people—
Whigs, Conservatives, and Radicals—to discover
that there are neither so many nor so insurmountable
organic discrepancies of political theories between them,
as should necessarily prevent their coming to a better
understanding on most of them. And since we give
them credit for being equally animated by a sincere de-
sire to advance and consolidate the welfare of this great
empire, let us hope that, in proportion as the im-
pression is more emphatically produced on them by
occasional accidents of this kind, that it is very possible
for them to travel in the same path for the same great and
common end, they will acquire the determination to
betake themselves to those paths without delay or mis-
trust. For if the counsels of all the great parties—the
popular, the lowest, and the middle classes— the repre-
sentatives of the trading, manufacturing, and landed in-
terests of the empire be really excited, what human
power can withstand her physical force, her naval great-
ness, or her political supremacy ?
Wh,

len we very lately animadverted on the strange
anomalies and deficiencies of our criminal law, and in-
stanced the absurd inequality with which punishment
was apportioned to offences coming under the cognisance
of its jurisdiction (an inequality by reason of which the

severest penalties are sometimes meted out for the most '
venial transgressions of a statute, having regard to cer-
tain acts in themselves indifferent—and the lightest are
inflicted for crimes the most revolting to humanity, be-
cause of some technical informalities in the indictment,
or some error in the pleadings), we little imagined
that we should so soon encounter an evidence of the
physical existence of one of those unconvicted ruffians
who now and then escape in the last crisis, as it were,
of fate, the ignominious doom they have justly merited.
It is undoubtedly a sound principle of humanity, and
of justice as well as of law, to assume any man inno-
cent, in the face of whatever evidence may have been
brought forward to substantiate his guilt, until a verdict
of Guilty shall have been recorded against him. At
the same time there are facts and circumstances on
which, though the cumulative and legal proof necessary
to establish a conviction may be wanting, the impression
of the public mind is clear and distinct that they
are conclusive of the guilt of the accused. We
mentioned the case of one " SHEENE," tried many
years ago at the bar of the Old Bailey, for the murder
of his infant child by cutting its head off. This ruffian
escaped conviction at the time, solely by virtue of some
worthless quibble as to the technical description in the
indictment of himself or his victim—(for we really
forget which). Whichever it was, he had been
styled in the pleas of the Crown " THOMAS "
fur " JOHN," or " JOHN " for " THOMAS." SO-
ciety, it might have been supposed, was in-
terested only to know—first, whether a murder
had been committed upon the child; secondly, by whom;
and upon neither of these points was the slightest doubt
expressed, either by the jury or the judge. The flaw
in the indictment, however, being pleaded by his
counsel, was held to be fatal, and he escaped that doom
which it would be an affectation of delicacy to suppose
that any individual in the country, who had perused the
evidence tendered at his trial, ever doubted that he had
most richly merited. In these distressing cases, where the
meshes of the law may be said to break through after hav-
ing netted their prey, natural instinct usually deters the
monster which has broken out of them from ever ven
turing again into their vicinity. So, in those rare cases
where a technical informality has overridden the whole
force of direct proof, positive depositions, and circum-
stantial evidence, the lucky delinquent has gene-
rally been too happy to withdraw himself from the yell
of public indignation and the pointed finger
of scorn and infamy, in the safe retreat
of obscurity and silence. In the police re-
ports for Wednesday last, under the head of Wor-
ship-street, we read of a WILLIAM SHEEN, brought up
for having assaulted and threatened the life of a re-
spectable publican. The case was proved to the satis-
faction of the magistrate, and SHEEN was bound over to
keep the peace, himself in his own recognizance for
1001., with two sureties of 501. each. These were very
readily procured, for this SHEEN, it appears, is a pros-
perous personage, possessing household property in the
vicinity of the office to the amount of more than 701. per
annum. It is further stated that he is the same man, we were
going to say, who, having cut off the head of his infant
child, was allowed, through the carelessness of the Clerk
of the Arraigns, to slip his own out of the halter. We
had no expectation of ever encountering this " wolf-head"
again. We had thought that even the most obscene and
darksome purlieus of Shoreditch and Spitalfields could
have vindicated themselves from the imputation of har-
bouring such inhabitants. But this is an age of surprises-
It must be imagined that the public like to renew old
acquaintances of however questionable a reputation
under any circumstances however startling. For our
own parts, we are beyond the reach of such emotions.
Nil admirari i.; the motto we take up with. We should
scarcely utter an interjection were we told to-morrow
that the injured and scientific experimentalist, Mr.
BELANEY, was endeavouring to get enrolled as licentiate
in medicine and surgery under a new Charter for " par-
ticular " instead of " general " practitioners. Yet we
do marvel at our law of bail, or the discretion of our
magistrates in administering it. To-day a gentleman of
great respectability is brought before one magistrate,
for soundly horsewhipping the seducer of his own
daughter in the person of his brother-in-law, her uncle.
Application is made to bail the gentleman who has,
under such irrepressible feelings of resentment, com-
mitted such an act of violence. The Magistrate, Mr.
TWYFORD, refuses under circumstances thus special to
accept bail, and asks, with a simplicity quite touching—
,' Why should he ?" To-morrow you shall have a no-
torious murderer, with no other recommendations but
those of his luck in defrauding the public executioner,
brought up on a charge of wanton and brutal assault,
without any such provocation of intolerable injury, before
another magistrate. The charge is proved to his satis-
faction, and this Magistrate, on bail being tendered for
the notorious offender before him, accepts it with a
facility that seems to ask—" why should he not?"

Madrid journals of the 16th instant have been re-
ceived, but they bring no news. A rumour prevailed
that General CONCHA, Governor of Catalonia, was about
to be removed from the command of that province.
According to another rumour, a Carlist rising was ex-
pected at Arragon.
The Three per Cents. closed at 34 3.16 for cash,
and 34i- at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25h- at 60
days ; and the Debt without Interest at si for the 27th.

The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies on
the northern line of railway has been brought to a close,
and the Bill adopted by a majority of 253 to 10. The
following aro the more important clauses adopted rela-
tive to shares :—The adjudication shall not be valid
until confirmed by royal ordinance ; the company de-
clared successful cannot issue any negotiable shares or
Promises of shares before being constituted as a soeiete
anonyme, duly authorised according to Art. 37 of the
Commercial Code ; the projectors of the company shall
have a right only to the reimbursement of their advances,
and after they have established their claim to the same
before a general meeting of the shareholders ; no one
can vote by proxy in the board of directors of the Com-
pany. In case two members, differing from the rest on any
point, shall demand to have the question postponed until
the opinion of one or several absent directors might be
made known, a copy or extract of the minutes shall be sent
to all the members absent, with a request to them to come
and vote at the next meeting on a certain appointed day
or to address, in writing, their opinion to the chairman.
lie shall read the opinion so sent to the board, after
which, the point shall be decided by the majority of the
members present all publication of the quotations of
shares, before the constitution of the societe anonyme
shall be punishable by a fine of from 500 f. to 3,000 f.
The following clause was proposed by MM. DuFAurtE and
VIVIEN, and also adopted,:—" There shall be sent to the
office of the Minister of Public Works the register from
which the scrip receipts delivered to the subscribers
shall have been cut, or a list, stating the reciprocal
engagement of the projectors and the subscribers, and the
definitive division among them of the capital of the
company ; from the date of the delivery of the
registers or lists above mentioned, all stipulations by
which the projectors shall have reserved to them-
selves the power of reducing the number of
shares subscribed for, shall be null and void." Ti e
clause prohibiting the negotiation of the receipts or pro-
mises of shares, and declaring the subscribers answer-
able for four-tenths of the amount of the shares, was
among the last agreed to, and the Bill passed. Com-
mittees of the Chamber were engaged in examining the
Paris and Strasburg lines, and the branch line from
Metz to Saarbruck. Theline from Orleans to Tours, it
was expected, would be opened in September. The
Constitutionnel says:—" Independently of the ships of
the line and those of a smaller force appointed to cruise
in the Mediterranean for practice, there is to be a
division formed of stearn•frigates. Admiral PARCEVAL
DESCRENES will continue to command the first, and the
Prince DE JOINVILLE the second, who will probably
have the chief command, if the two squadrons act to-
gether."

The accounts from Lucerne are to the 19th, and state

hat the Grand Council had been induced, by fear rather

than any other motive, to commute the sentence on Dr.
STEIGER, on condition that he be transported for life.
The Cantons of Berne, Zurich, and Argau, it appears,

WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY.
The Committee to whom this group of railways was referred, met
to day at twelve o'clock in room No 6, to hear the further exami.
nation of witnesses on behalf of the promoters of the above line ;
Mr. Pakington in the Chair.
Previous to the examination of Mr. Harris, engineer, being re-
sumed, further evidence was, at the suggestion of Mr. Talbot,
heard, to show the daily inconvenience which arose at the Nor-
manton station, from the great amount of traffic that passed that
station.

Mr. P. Clarke was then examined—He stated that he had had
the general superintendence, for the three years up to April last, of
the York and North Midland Railway. Had the arrangement of
the trains at the Normanton station —the power to make
alterations rested with him. He exerted himself to the
utmost to remedy the inconvenience and delay which arose
at the Normanton station, in consequence of the immense amount
of traffic which passed that station. The increase of workmen and
assistants could not remedy this. If more buildings were erected
so as to afford larger accommodation for the re-arrangement of the
trains, a little relief might be afforded. He thought, however, that
the traffic at present was beyond what could be accommodated con-
veniently, and that any increase of it would materially interfere
with the interests of the public.
By Mr. KNowLes—Passenger trains from York by the York
and North Midland line, are not detained at the Normanton sta-
stion by the necessity of an engine to take them on. _

Mr. John Harris, engineer, whose evidence was partly heard
yesterday, stated that the. terminus of the proposed line at Goole
would be at one of the shipping docks. It was
a convenient station for passengers, and was admirably
adapted for goods traffic also. There were large warehouses situated
near it. There was a branch in connexion with the railway at
Goole, about a mile in length, and which proceeded along the streets
of the town, and terminated on the banks of the Ouse. The gra.
dients on the whole line were favourable. The worst gradient
from Wakefield to Goole was lin 250. There was a gradient of
1 in 253 in the Midland branch. The Sheffield and Bight
branch had a gradient of 1 in 150 for about one-half of the line,
and the rest was nearly level. The narrowest curve on the pro-
posed line was eighteen chains in radius. The remaining curves
were favourable and very few. The witness then proceeded to
detail the items of the estimated cost of the line. The cost of land
was 52,9441.; of fencing, drains, &c., 13,7071.; earthworks,
97,8131.; bridges and culverts, 60,808/.; crossings and road.gates,
5,2571. ; rails, 54,390/. ; (which were calculated at 10/. per ton.)
The suppJrts on which the end of the rail rests was 12,705.

LONDON AND YORK LINE.

This Committee re-assembled at twelve o'clock, in room No. 8,
Lord Courtenay in the chair. Soon after the Hon. Members had
taken their seats,
Mr. HILDYARD said he would feel obliged if the Committee would
state whether they intended to sit during the holidays, of which
there were two in the ensuing week, one to be devoted to her Ma-
jesty's drawing-room, and another to the Derby. He would like
to know if the Committee contemplated sitting on either of those
days. The Derby day was long considered a dies non.
Mr. DARBY—Do you wish to go to the Derby, Mr. Hlldyard ?
._

_ .
(Laughter.)
Mr. HILDYARD-It is almost a question which I cannot answer,
Sir—l should certainly like to be there.—(Laughter.)

The CHAIRMAN—As far as the Committee are concerned they
are ready to sit every day next week. The inquiry is rather im-
portant as it affects the public time, and any saving of that time by
our sitting will be a great benefit.
Mr. BARING WALL—If one is to have a holiday at all, it may as
well be had on the Wednesday as on any other day.
The CHAIRMAN—As the majority of the Counsel are agreed to
have Wednesday, we shall sit on every day during the week save
that day.
Mr. Muschamp was then called and examined by Mr. PAGET--IS
a coal-owner, residing at Lancaster lodge, county Durham. The
witness was examined very shortly to the same effect as Mr. Pease
yesterday, namely, as to the present facilities for and expense of, the
transit of coals from the pits in Durham to London, and expressed
his opinion that the proposed London and York line would very
materially increase the coal traffic between South Durham and
London, and diminish the cost of conveyance.
In his cross-examination by Mr. HILDY &RD (who was counsel on
behalf of the Midland Counties, the Lincoln and Cambridge, and
the Eastern Counties schemes) he deposed that the coal owners
had at present tram.roads from the pits' mouths to the different
ports of shipment.

Group V.
SHEFFIELD AND NEWARK LINE.

The opponents of the Parliamentary line continued this morn.
ing to call evidence.
Mr. Hayne, C.E., call that the tunnel on the amended line would
cost at least from 401. to 501. per yard. He was acquainted with
the stratum through which it would pass, and he did not think it
the same through which the Parliamentary line should be made.
Joseph Meashom, coal agent, was called to show which line
would best open up the coal-fields. His opinion was, that the ori.
ginal line would be decidedly the best.
John Boots gave similar evidence.
This was the case for the opponents, and
Mr. WHATELEY, Q.C., Bose to address the Committee—He con-
tended that his Learned Friend Mr. Baines had not proved a ne-
cessity for the scheme before the Committee, and that as the valu-
able purposes of such a line were exceedingly doubtful, the Corn-
mittee should decide against it. The preamble of the Bill had not
been proved, but even if doubtful the Hon. Committee were bound
to reject it. The Learned Counsel then entered at considerable
length into detail to show that the valuable minerals of the country
could not be more easily conveyed by this railway.

Group EE.
DUNDEE AND PERTH (NORTH) RAILWAYS.

The Committee on these lines resumed this morning at the
usual hour; the Right Hon. F. Bating in the chair.
Mr. M`Veagh examined by Mr. FORSYTH—Is a civil engineer
of great experience. Has had the estimates given in by Mr.
Miller and Mr. Storie submitted to him. Does not believe that
the railway projected from Dundee to Perth can be constructed
at anything like the sum named by the former, who has considera.
bly underrated the cost in almost every particular. Mr. Miller's
estimate for the Dundee and Perth line is fully 50 per cent. lower,
than any other constructed by him. On his own computation
there would be 30 feet of base, and an average slope of 1 to 1 ;
the earthwork will comprise 639,000 cubic yards of clay, and
278,000 cubic yards of rock work. On the permanent way. he
anticipates an increase of 30,0001. above the price stated by Mr.

Cross-examined by Mr. ANDREWS—The other lines constructed
by Mr. Miller, with which he had compared his estimate of
the Perth and Dundee, were the Glasgow and Greenock,
and the Glasgow and Edinburgh. The former is an
unusually expensive line, the earthwork having cost no
less than 15s. a yard in some places, and the tunnel-
ling was extensive and difficult. Has had no experience, nor has
examined the line himself; but be is competent, by assuming the
correctness of Mr. Storie's evidence, to state positively that his,
and not Mr. bli ler's estimate, was true.

Mr. Enington, examined by Mr. FORBYTH—Is a civil engineer
and having been astonished at the great difference between Mr.
Miller's and Mr. Storie's estimates, caused five different surveys
to be made of the line, and as many computations were sent in of
the quantity of work and cost required, all of which confirmed
the statement of Mr. Storie, and contravened that of Mr. Miller.

Group R.
DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION RAILWAY.

Mr. Gibson Craig in the chair.

Sir John M`Niell's cross-examination continued by Mr. Alex.
ander at some length, respecting several lines he had formerly
surveyed, one or two of them at the instance of the Government
Railway Commission, and which he stated had much more favour-
able gradients than the line now under the consideration of the
Committee. One or two of the lines surveyed were inland. The
reason why the gradients were then made so slight was the belief,
by engineercthat no railway could be constructed with gradients
less than one in two or three hundred.

To Mr. BOYLE—He surveyed hi 1835 a line between Drogheda
and Portadown, at the instance of a Company, called the Great
Trunk; he also surveyed, at the instance of the Railway Commis-
sion, lines between Dublin and Armagh and Dublin and
Enniskillen. He received no Instructions as to including Bel-
fast, Newry, and Portadown. This he was quite certain of,
as his instructions were to survey the best lines between certain
points that were set forth. He also surveyed four lines for private
Companies in the north of Ireland. Among others, he surveyed
a coast line, which at that time was thought to be a mere specula-
tion. Events since had shown the value of that opinion. The
traffic since that time had much improved. The present line would
give the greatest amount of accommodation to Newry, Armagh,
Portadown, Belfast, and Dundalk. There were rising gradients
for 23 miles towards Portadown, averaging 1 in 210.

Group FF.

The Committee re-assembled this day at twelve o'clock, in Room
No. 7, Lord Ashley In the chair, and proceeded with the ad-
journed case of

THE EDINBURGH AND HAWICK RAILWAY.

Mr. CLARKE appeared on behalf of Mr. Walker, a landowner, an
opposing petitioner to that part of the line in the parish of Shwa. The
Learned Counsel had to press upon the Committee the adoption of
a deviation in the course of the line. This would save the inte-
rests of his client and prevent the danger which would, according
to the plans, be incurred by the position of a school-house, in pro-
reeding from which children would be constantly crossing and re.
crossing the line many times in the day.

Mr. Pringle, M.P., having been called to prove the position of
the school_house, and the great danger attached to it, stated that a
bridge over or archway under the railway, would altogether obviate
the difficulty. The number of pupils attending being very small,
and the country being very thinly peopled, a simple archway under
the line would be quite sufficient.
Mr. CLARK objected to the estimates. They were insufficient.

The Lord Chancellor, the Master of the 'tolls, and the other

BANKRUPTCY -(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULIWRN,)
IN RE GARRET, AN INSOLVENT.
This insolvent, who was a farmer at Milton, Northamptonshire,
came up for his final order, and was opposed on the ground of
having made a vexatious defence to an action on two bills of
exchange.
The insolvent said that he had acted under the advice of his at-
torney, who told him there were a good defence to the action.
The COMMISSIONER—What, a good defence, when you chose to
sign accommodation bills without having any possible means of
meeting them.
The insolvent said that he had been taken in, whilst drinking a
bottle of wine ; but he could assure the Court that he did not
know of the proceedings till after they had commenced, and then
begged nothing further should be done, as he could not pay.
The COMMISSIONER—Where is your attorney ?—A boy about
fourteen or fifteen, said his father could not attend to-day, but he
was watching the case.
The COMNIISSIONER—Watching the case, indeed! This is too
often the case. Some attorneys lead their clients into difficulties,
and there leave them. He said that nothing justified the insol-
vent's conduct in giving the bills, but at the same time the aggrava-
tion, if put in on sham plea, was caused by bad advice. Under

the circumstances, he should act upon the 28th section of the Act,
and withhold the protection of the Court for three months, and
adjourn the making the final order sine die.

The steamer from the West Indies brings favourable ac-
counts of the crops, &c., and the exports of sugar bad
been large from most of the islands up to
the respective dates. The Trinidad folks com-
plained, nevertheless, that they bad not made quite so
much sugar as they expected. The colonists generally ap-
peared in good spirits, except at Barbadoes, where the want
of rain was seriously felt. The accession of labour by the
arrival of the hill-coolies was likely to give heart to the
planters generally,
In Hayti hostilities were expected to recommence, He-
rard, the ex-President, having again lauded on the island.
During the week to Saturday last the Bank of
England issued notes to the amount of 29,340,425/.,
an increase of 117,4901. The " rest" increased by 4,757. The
public deposits were larger by 965,9091., the other deposits
by 210,546/., and the notes by 593,995/. The bullion was
15,999,3701., an increase of 137,684/.
Not the slightest alteration is to be noted in the Consol
Market to-day, and there is but little doing at the current
rates, 99 LA %. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been
well supported at 58s. to 60s. Bank Stock has been 2101 A
to 1/4 ; .New Three- and a-Half per Cents. have realised
1011% %; and the Three per Cents., 983/4 1/2.
We have not a single bargain officially marked in Spanish
Bonds, and the other Foreign Securities maintain about pre-
vious rates. Portuguese Converted have been 67 to 67%,
Mexican 371 A, and Chilian Deferred 52. Dutch Two-aad-a-
Half per Cents. have been 63%, and the Fcur per Cents. 973/4.
The Share Market has been a little weak again for the
scrip of the new lines, but very firm for the old railways.

LATER ARRIVAL. FROM NEW YORK.—The Southerner'
Captain Palmer, arrived at Liverpool on Friday night'
with papers from New York of the Ist inst., one day
later than those received by the last steamer. They do
not contain any item of news of the least importance.

DETENTION OF THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The
Erebus, Captain Sir John Franklin, and the Terror, Captain
Crozer, which left the river in the early part of the week, on an ex-
pedition to explore the Arctic regions, accompanied by the Monkey
and Rattler steam-ships, in order to tow them off the Orkney
Islands, have been obliged to bring up off Aldborough, owing to the
fearful north-easterly gales which have of late been
blowing, and, up to the last accounts were still lying
in the roadstead. The gale of Wednesday night was
very severe; a number of vessels parted from their
anchors. One vessel, named the Daniel, belonging to Mal..
don, was driven by the fury of the gale on to Pakefield Flat, near
LowestofFe. The crew, finding that she had become a wreck, took
to the boat, when unfortunately, on nearing the beach, it cap-
sized ; three poor fellows clung to the bottom and were saved, but
the remainder, four in number, including the captain and mate,
perished.
RARE COPIES OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.—III the
last day's sale of a portion of a nobleman's library, on 'Thursday, an
edition of the Holy Scriptures, of exceeding rarity, was sold. It
was thus described in thecatalogue :—" Holy Bible, in which is con-
tayned the Olde and Newe Testament, truly and purely translated
into English by Thomas Mattl.ew, black letter, morocco extra, gilt
edges, by Clarke, 1537. The real name of the translator was
John Rogers, who was the first martyr in Queen Mary's reign.
The present copy is perfect, with the exception of the following
defects—a letter or two cut off at the bottom of the first title, the
title to the Prophets is repaired at the bottom, two leaves in the
table and the imprint are in fac.simile by Harris, the corner
of Geo 2 torn off, and a few leaves repaired." It was pur-
chased for 105 guineas!

Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, whose arrival in Paris
we have announced, appeared on Wednesday in one of the re-
served seats of the Chamber of Deputies. His features resemble
those of the late Emperor, and his appearance in the Chamber
excited much interest,
