and much 'wheat has been secured in this district. 'At to-day's mar-

sales made of the latter were at 40s. to 465. per quarter. Many com-
plaints were made of the yield ; notwithstanding all this; the sale of
old wheat was extremely heavy. With the exception of a few in-
quiries for low qualities to export, bonded wheat Is neglected. Each
description of spring corn supports its price. Linseed 'aryl Linseed
Cakes are much firmer. Rapeseed is neglected. Rape Cakes fetch
our quotations. No bones offering. Guano fully supports its price.

of the Exchequer, in constquence (if a letter he had
ceived froth a mercantile friend, whether the duties upon
myrrh. rectified turpentine, and olbanum. world

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said

tions of the duty on turpemire ned resin already rn,de,
and as to myrrh, it would come under the same cat,gory.
Capt. BERNAL O.ii3ORNE wished to know whether

DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—The
Committee of the Direct Northern Railway beg to inform
their Shareholders, that in consequence of the unfounded allegations
which they understand are disseminated by filo opponents of this
line respecting its position before the Standing Orders Committee,
and particularly the assertion lately put forth by certain, organs of
the press, that the line of the Direct Northern, as compared with
that of the London and York Railway, and tested by its own datum
line, is wrong in its levels to the extent of about 50 feet, they have
thought it their duty to submit this allegation to a competent investi-
gation. having obtained the assistance of Mr. Miller, the able engi-
neer, whose unimpeachable testimony settled in the most satisfactory
manner the analogous allegation respecting the swing bridges across
the Don navigation, they have now the pleasure to lay before their
Shareholders and the public the following certificate from that gen-
tleman :

(Copy.)
To the Provisional Committee of the Direct Northern Railway.
London, March 17, 1845.
GENTLEMTN.—I have had my attention directed to an article in
Herapatles Railway and Commercial Journal of the 22d of February
last, headed " Direct Northern Railway—Great Error in the Sec-
tions," and I have examined the section of the Direct Northern Rail-
way between Lincoln and York, and compared it with other scetions
through the same district of country, and I find that so far as this
comparison would guide me, in regard to that portion of the line at
least, the allegation*" There must therefore be an error somewhere
about this amount (51% feet)," is not correct.—l am, Gentleman,
your most obedient,

........ ~...__,

MISCELLANEOUS.

Late on Friday afternoon two petitions were forwarded to
Sir James Graham, praying that her Majesty would be pleased
to spare the life of the convict Tapping. One. has emanated
front a few private individuals, well-known for their humane
efforts, and the other is from the relatives of the deceased.
On Saturday morning, about six o'clock, as police-consta-
ble Hudson, of the K division, was about to enter the station-
house, at Bow, it being his turn to go on duty, he was seized
with a fit of coughing, in the course of which a quantity of
blood flowed from his month. He was led into the yard, and
supported by two policemen, the blood, at the time, stream-
ing out of his mouth. In a few minutes life ce4sed to exist
from the loss of blood.

Mr. Eliot Yorke, one of the representatives of Cambridge-
shire, will meet his constituents next Tuesday, at Newmar-
ket, to discuss with them the present state of agriculture,
and the effects of the late changes in the corn-laws and the
tariff. The farmers attribute their present depression to Sir
Robert Peel's measures. Mr. Yorke denies that Sir Robert
Peel's measures have anything to do with the depression ;
and hereupon issue is joined.
Somewhat more than two years since the Rev. Bryan King,
rector of St. George's in the East, introduced certain changes
into the church service, which'proved so distasteful to the pa-
rishioners, that on the 6th ult. a requisition was forwarded
to the Rev. Gentleman, through Mr. Howell, the vestry.
clerk, complaining of changes so wholly novel, and earnestly
entreating a restoration of the form of worship which existed
aefore the Rev. Gentleman became rector of the parish. To
this requisition, which was signed by the churchwardens,
overseers, and nearly 200 parishioners, the Rev. Rector re-
plied that he could not conscientiously comply with their
request, and that, "he darQd not do so upon any earthly
consideration." SeveraLother communications passed on the
subject, but though the tone was amicable, the replies of the
Rev. Gentleman did not prove by any means satisfactory to
the requisition of the parishioners, and the result was, that a
placard has been sent forth for a meeting.

allowed for the people of Scotland to examine into it.
The Duke of WELLINGTON was not aware of the
state of public business in the other Houle to enable him
to give the Noble Lord a precise and definite answer.to
his question ; but there could be no doubt that the
Right Hon. Baronet the F.rst Lord of the Treasury
would use every exertion to bring the measure forward
at an early period.—The subject then dropped.

MALTA CURRENCY.

Dr. BOWRING, seeing the Under-Secretary for the
Colonies in his place, and as it was his intentior to put
a question to him with respect to the currency of Malta,
he thought he might as well do it then ; he wished t
inquire whether the Government would allow the
proclamation and correspondence connected with the
alterations of the currency in the island of Malta to be
laid on the table?
Mr. G. W. HOPE had received no communication
from the Noble Lord at the head of the Colonial Depart-
ment on the subject; but he bad no doubt the correspon-
dence and the other papers would be laid on the table
without any objection.

_

2. " That while Itheltanners of this country should (in common
with other manufacturers) be grateful for the proposed removal of

import duty from raw material,' yet as tanned leather is no raw
material,' but a manufactured. article, which occupies from four to
twelve months in process ; and as all trades, of any importance,
which have hitherto been protected by an import duty, have that
protection still continued, the proposed alteration will bear almost
exclusively hard upon the British tanner."
Moved by Mr. JOHN PALMER ; seconded by Mr. WILLIAMS :-
3. " That the remission of Duties on Raw Hides, and materials for
Tanning, forms no proportion whatever to the protecting Duty pro-
posed to be withdrawn from the manufactured article ; and that the
foreign Tanner by avoiding the expensive freight of Bark and other
Tanning materials; paying little rent, and possessing cheap labour,
arising from lower priced food, will enjoy an advantage of about 10
per cent. on the value of Loather, and which would require nearly
twopence per pound to counteract."

Browne Clayton feels desirous to express the comfort
and advantage he has derived at his advanced age of 70

THE WONDER!

APERFECEeXiiiiiiINE LAMP!!
Surely, all will say a desirable object is attained. A Lamp,
producing a star of dazzling flame, the light of twenty candles, and
no more expense than two candles, so easy in management that any
domestic can trim it. It cannot emit blacks or smoke, the Lamp
being so constructed that the light will not rise after being put at
the height required. No complication ! All other Camphine Lamps
bend before it. It reigns triumphant," The Perfect Camphine Lamp."
Table Lamps, Hall Lamps, and Kitchen Lamps, and any person's
pedestal fitted in a very superior style fbr 235. complete.
To be seen burning at Clark and Co.'s, 447, West Strand. Clark

siderable amount. In consequence of the unfavourable
state of the road from the snow which fell during Sunday
afternoon, and the frost Irring the night, the otlds, at
starting, were 4to 3 and . o g agaiiast the horse. At the

This Railway, running from the Great Town and Military Station
of Dijon, on the Lyons Line to Mulhouse (the Birmingham of
France), has already been determined upon by the French Govern-
ment, and there is little doubt will be conceded during the present
session, in conjunction with the Lyons Lino. At Mulhouse it will
join the Railway already in operation between that City and Basle,
thus making this route not only the shortest from Paris, but from
all England to Switzerland, adding thereby greatly to the existing
traffic on the Paris and Lyons Line, of which, in fact, it is an ex-
tension.
Applications for Shares to be addressed to the Provisional Com-
mittee.
To a limited extent, a preference will be given to the Share-
holders of the Paris and Lyons Line (Garnoron's Company), and
to parties giving the best referenee.

vantages of Life Assurance.
Persons have the option of Insuring upon the Return or Non-
Return Systems ; and the Tables have been framed to suit the
convenience of all parties.
The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the most ap-
proved calculations ; they are also verified by the experience of the

adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM entitle its assured to an equitable
participation in the surplus premium, according to the plan detailed
in the Company's Prospectus.

large Paid-up Capital, and the further security of a responsible body
of Proprietors, without being exposed to the liabilities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of an
assurance is effected ; or, loans will be granted thereon to the extent
of five-sixths of such purchase-money.

WILLIAM HENDERSON, Esq., in the Chair.
Moved by Mr. ASHBURNER; seconded by Mr. Baowta :-

every pound so imported will supplant, to the same extent, leather
which would have been tanned in British premises by British work-
men."
