ADDITIONAL ROOMS IOR PARTIES.
The perfection to which these temporary Rooms have been
brought deserves the attention of all who either have not sufficient
accommodation, or who wish to prevent the disarrangement of their
houses. Having no poles inside, being elegantly lined, and with a
boarded floor, renders them complete. Not the least of the recom-
mendations, is the facllity with which they are erected and removed ;
and, surprising as it may appear, they are erected even with the
drawing-room floor, with perfect ease and safety, when required.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Since Monday last, the arrivals of English Wheat fresh up
to our market have been only moderate. The samples left
over from that day having been mostly disposed of, the show
was by no means large. The demand, however, for all de-
scriptions, was in a very sluggish state, and previous rates
were barely supported. In foreign Wheats next to nothing
was doing, although the holders were disposed to take less
money. Barley was very heavy in sale, and the turn lower.
Malt might have been purchased at a further decline of from
Is to 2s per quarter. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, were a
mere drug, and somewhat cheaper.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of Beasts was only limited, and, comparatively
speaking, of very inferior quality, while the Beef trade was
exceedingly heavy, at barely the late depression in the quo-
tations. We had on offer 140 Scots from Aberdeen, and 15
Oxen and Cows from Rotterdam—the latter being in very
poor condition. The numbers of Sheep were small, owing to
which the Mutton trade was active, at fully Monday's prices.
With Lambs we were abundantly supplied, while the sale for
them was in a very sluggish state, at barely stationary
figures. Calves were in full average supply and heavy de-
mand. The primest qualities of Veal were quite as dear;
but other kinds declined in value quite 2d per 81b. In Pigs
next to nothing was done. Milch Cows sold at from 161 to
191 lOs each.

The reports which continue to arrive from East Kent are,

Mr. ABOUCHERE thought that too much facility
was lately given to granting Committees, but he never
thought it would go to the extent to which the Hon.
Gentleman was about to carry it.—(Hear. hear.) There
was to be a Select Committee to inquire into the steal..
ing of poodles and lapdogs in the metropolis.—(Hear,
hear, and laughter.) He was sorry the Right Hon.
Gentleman, the Secretary of State, had given his assent
to the nomination of the Committee. But, perhaps, if
he asked the House, it would reverse its decision, as it
was not very. obstinate.—(Laughter.)
Sir J. GRAHAM—hugged.—(Laughter.)
Mr. LABOUCHERE really thought that this Com-
mittee ought. not to be granted, and he would move, as
the only means now left to him, that the first name be
omitted.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. LIDDELL said he had no object in the matter.
But as he was aware that a well-organised system existed
for the stealing of dog, which he would be able to expose
if he obtained a Committee, he would persevere in
asking for it, unless the House thought othgrwise.
Mr. WAKLEY thought that the Committee ought to
be made more extensive, and embrace the practice of
stealing dogs in the country. The practice of stealing
dogs in the country prevailed to a great extent. --They-
were then sold in the metropolis, where theyLsi*re
stolen over and over again, and at_ last_ exportaolit
(Laughter.) This system of trade had not. .prdbAly,
come under the observation of the Right Hon. GenVeman.'i
He hoped the Hon. Member would withdraw his_motion,
and move for leave to bring in a Bill.

House, but subsequently withdrew his motion.

was adopted on Tuesday, almost without discus-
sion. On Wednesday, the report of the Committee
on the Customs Duties was presented. They recom-
mend the adoption of the tariff of 1842, and are
opposed to any increased duties on unmanufactured
wool and flax. The following are extracts from the
papers :

The Constitutionnel states, on the authority of its cor-
respondence from Barcelona, that the retirement from the
Spanish Ministry of the Marquis di Viluma is nbw quite cer-
tain, but that General Narvaez will retain the portfolio of the
War Department, and only hold that of Foreign Affairs pro-
visionally.
The Gazette of the Two Sieilies of the 25th ult. states, that
five more of the insurgents who landed in Calabria have been
arrested, and that all are now in custody, but the names of
only a few of them are given. A Leghorn letter states that
the sons of Admiral Bandiera are among the insurgents who
have been arrested in Calabria.

A letter from Lubeck, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that
the exchange of dispatches, which hitherto took place regu-
larly once a fortnight between the Embassy of St. Peters-
burgh and St. James's Cabinet, is now to take place once
a week.
Several modifications of the Austrian Customs Tariff came
into operation on the Ist. The chief reductions are on cotton
thread and coffee ; the former is reduced from 15 florins a
quintal to 12 florins 30 kreutzers, and the latter from 21
florins to 12 florins 30 kreutzers.

Mr. GLADSTONE said that the present Bill was in-
tended to apply to all future insurance offices. Exist-
ing insurance offices would neither be obliged nor per-
mitted to place themselves under the regulations of the
Bill ; it was intended to require existing insurance com-
panies to furnish such particulars for registration as
should suffice to verify the fact of their existence at the
time of passing this Bill.

(From the London New Price Current of May 28.)
SUGAR.—For West India Muscovado Sugar the de-
mand was extremely limited on Wednesday and Thurs-
day ; but on Friday grocers and refiners were induced
to purchase more freely, in consequence of merchants
submitting to a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per
cwt.

REFINND.—To-day Refined Goods were not to be
purchased on the terms of last week; brown lumps were
sold at 76s 6d, and Standard Lumps 77s 6d to 78s
per cwt. The grocers are, generally disposed to get
stocked with Refined Sugar. Tho market is firm for
bonded Crushed Sugar at 26s per cwt, and several orders
are unexecuted.

MAURITIUS.—Fine yellow at 64s to 655, good 62s to
635, middling 60s to 61s 6d, low 58s to 59s 6d, and

given; Manilla 17s to 225, and Java 18s to 24s per cwt.

ratee have been paid. White Havannah all taken in

BRIGHTON RAILWAY EXCURSION.

The recurrence of Whitsuntide, like that of Easter, is
always a " green spot" in the lives of the inhabitants of
the metropolis, than whom we question if any people more
enjoy the opportunities these annual festivals afford for
relaxation from their usual employments, and for participa-
tion in the pleasures to be found both in town and country.
Emphatically it may be said that the worthy citizens then
quit town and go down into the country, with the firm
determination of being happy. In proportion as facilities
for travelling are provided and increased, so new points of
attraction open up ; and as this process is going on almost
daily at a rapid rate, so the number of these who avail
themselves of the means of locomotion becomes still
greater and greater. An instance of this we had
yesterday, when, through the liberality of the London and
Brighton Railway Company, hundreds and thousands of
holiday folks were, at half the usual charge, whisked to the
most beautiful watering-place in England, which, until the
completion of this splendid line ofroad, was nearly altogether
closed against the great bulk of the middle and working
classes. The first train left the terminus at London-bridge
early in the morning, and contained upwards of a thousand
carpenters, and the second, which left at nine o'clock, was a
monster one, consisting of 54 carriages, drawn by four en-
gines, and conveying the enormous number of 1,500 passen-
gers. Other trains were kept running at regular intervals.

COURT OF SEWERS.

A special meeting of the Court of Sewers for the
City and Liberty of Westminster and part of the
County of Middlesex, was held yesterday, at the office
of the Court, in Greek-street, Soho. The object of
the Court being made special was for the
purpose of considering the report and esti-
mates relative to the open part of the King's
Scholars' Pond sewer, and the other matters in con-
nexion with the petition of Mr. Thomas Cubitt, of the
2d of June, 1843, for leave, at his own expense, to
arch over 485 feet of the sewer, provided the Court
would cover over an additional 500 feet, at the ex-
pense of the district.
After some considerable discussion, the Court came
to the following resolutions :
" That the Court do arch over the uncovered part
of the King's Scholars' Pond sewer, between War-
wick-street and White's-bridge, Mr. Cubitt paying
half the expense, and that he be invited to send in a
tender to do the work.

" That the surveyors do make frequent observations,
and report to the Court, from time to time, upon the
effect produced in the rising of the water in the
sewer, in consequence of the construction of the works
proposed to be made."

THE CONTRACTORS.
Mr. LESLIE gave ootice that, on a subsequent Court
day, he should move that the contract of Messrs.
Bennett and Co. and Mr. Bird should he terminated
at the earliest possible day.
The Court then adjourned.

of the ceremony it is expected that his Royal Highness will

counsel, and insist on showing the Court why the judgment
should be arrested.

The ArFORNEY-GENERAL said, in the course of last week
he had asked Sir William Follett, the Attorney-General fur
England, what would be the course there, and the answer be
received was, that only two counsel would be heard.
Mr. FITZGIBBON said, he had no doubt that Sir William
said so, but that did not make it law, or abrogate the right to
which the traversers were entitled. -
The CHIEF JUSTICE—For my own part I am determined
to adhere to. the rule.

Judge PERRLN—The strict rule of the Court is against you.
Mr. Justice CRA3IPTON expressed himself to the same effect.
And the Court rose.

THE. PARISIAN VENUS.

This is an exhibition completely per se, having, from
its peculiarity, no competitors in the metropolis. It
consists of a beautiful model, in wax, of a recumbent
female, on removing portions of the surface of which the
whole internal organization of the body is displayed to
view. Every part is finished with the most perfect
accuracy as regards anatomical detail, and it may be re-
garded not only as an object of amusement but of useful
Information, in relation to the study of the human frame.
THE PANORAMAS, LEICESTER-SQUARE.
A strong desire to view our newly-acquired territory
of _Hong-Kong, of which Mr. Burford's Panorama is
allowed to be a perfectly correct representation, was of
course to be expected on such a day of recreation to the
metropolitans as Whit-Monday. Independent of the
exactitude of the resemblance, this panorama, like all
which have from time to time emanated from the same
hand, is entitled to high praise from its pictorial beauty
and artist-like execution.
The other panoramas on view at Mr. Burford's rooms
are representations of Trepott, with the landing of her
Majesty and Prince Albert ; and a beautifully painted
portrait of Baden Baden, the Cheltenham of Germany.
