Fresh up 'only a moderate quantity of Wheat came to
hand from our own counties coastwise, as well as by laud
carriage and sample ; yet the stands were rather heavily
supplied with Monday's unsold parcels. Still, however,
owing to the wet weather experienced yesterday, the
fluctuating atmosphere of to-day, and the trifling
Progress as yet made in the cutting of Wheat,
the factors were firm, and, in some instances, would
not sell except at a slight advance in the quotations.
The amount of business actually passing was small. There

CLERKENWELL.

Mr. William Coleman Balls was brought up for final
examination at this Court, charged with forgeries
whereby the Finsbury Savings' Bank was defrauded of
the sum of 521.

Mr. Duncombe conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Humphries defended the prisoner.
The prisoner has been, for a considerable time, secre-
tary to one of those societies of poor mechanics and
labourers established for the benevolent purpose of
aiding one another when in sickness or adversity. This
society, which was termed the United Brothers' Pro•
vident Society, and which held its meetings at the City
of London, Sydney-street, City-road] has been for a long
time in existence, and in consequence of the expenses
caused by allowance to sick members, its funds had
dwindled down to 521., which was the whole of their
stock. On the 2d of January, 1844, the prisoner, in
company with Mr. Randell, the steward, deposited the
521. in the Finsbury Savings' Bank. The entry was duly
made in the books kept in the bank, and also in the
savings' bank book which depositors retain. When the
parties came out of the bank, after the lodgment, a
question arose as to who was to keep the book ; the
prisoner said he would, awl Mr. Randell positively
swears that he gave it to him, and that he saw no more
of it. According to the rules of the society the book
should have been placed in the society's box immediately
after its being used. Some time after this transaction
it was suggested by several of the members, that the
book should b brought to the bank, for the purpose of
having the interest added to the principal, so that com-
pound interest might accrue. But the prisoner opposed
this, and hence no search was made for the book until
about the end of last June, when the box being opened,
the loss of it was discovered. Suspicion was raised,
inquiries were made at the bank, when the poor members
found, to their surprise and grief, that all their bard
earnings had been abstracted, and that they were
penny less.

The officers of the bank proved that the money was
paid over to two persons, describing themselves es the
officers of the society, in two different sums of 30/. and
22/., but they were unable to identify the prisoner as one
of the persons.
The prisoner said he gave the bank-book to Randell,
and referred to a minute in the society's book to that
effect.

The minute was certainly en the face of the book ;
but the magistrate, on examining the leaf on which it
was written, was of opinion that it was fastened in with
gum. One of the persons drawing the money gave the
name of "J. Jonei;TeTieetary," and these words were
sworn to be in the prisoner's handwriting.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were 3,000 to 4,000 bales,
including 400 for export, and 300 on speculation. There was
no change in prices.—For Shares the market was dull and
heavy.
The letters and papers by the Great Western were delivered
this morning, and we perceive that Brother Jonathan " cal-
culates" on supplying us to some extent with his corn.
The trade of the United States with Great Britain depends
almost solely upon two circumstances : the activity of our
manufacturing industry, and the state of the weather. With
an active demand for our fabrics, we become more liberal
customers for cotton and other important staples—with a
deficient harvest we take more grain. Under any circum-
stances, therefore, the Americans should exhibit the most de-
cided disposition to make their tariff favourable to those to
whom they owe so much.
The West India private accounts bear out the favourable
tenor of the advices given in another part of The Sun. The
weather was good, the crops promised well, the labourers, if
not working hard, were going on as steadily at least as
hitherto, and there were important public improvements
progressing in most of the colonies. The island of Barbadoes
had at least been blessed with abundant showers.
The Funds have been flat again to-day, not having re-
covered the decline of yesterday afternoon. Consols realise
9834 to 99 for present transfer, and are 99 for time. Exche-
quer-bills have been a little steadier at 50s. premium. The
New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. are marked 102% NI,
and Three-per-Cents. 99% N.
The foreign investments are more neglected than ever.
Spanish Three-per Cents realise 3814 3/4. Peruvian Bonds
are at 39. Venezuela Stock is worth 44%. Dutch Four-per-
Cents. are 1001/4.
The Railway Shares are more dealt in to-day, and appear
to be brought to sale rather in excess of the requirements of
purchasers. There are a few exceptions, however, as our
list will show. The flatness of some of the provincial markets
is against the maintenance of prices here.

and friends of the above society was held at the St. George's
National and Parochial School-room, Borough-road, South-

was called to the chair, and addressed the meeting, expatiat-
ing on the advantages the Society had rendered to the cause
of Protestantism, the urgent nece,sity that existed at the pre-
sent time for such a society, and concluded by calling on his
auditory, as they valued the maintenance of Protestant ortho-
doxy in its full integrity, to afford it, not only their continued,
but their increased support. The Rev. H. Robins, Messrs.

some stupid individuals amused themselves by ordering arti-

commenced as early as nine in the morning, and continued till

'THE EARNINGS AND PITTANCE

TAX.
A tax on earnings is a twofold bane—
A gyve on liberty, a clog on thrift !
Less like a statesman's than a despot's shift ;
We've writh'd beneath 't too long to writhe again.
Uneconomic is it, as 'twould be
To dam some feeder of a fruinting flood,
To cut away some toproot of the tree,
To drain the chyle, or bleed the scant of blood.
:Bub these are petty views, compar'd with this,
Th' unconstitutional, which, wisely scann'd,
:Notes something with our freedom much amiss,
When Government's a Pry throughout the land ;
.And domiciliar* search—'tis nothing less—
" Prolific, now, of fraud; now, mulcts spare, frank distress.

BOANERGES.

* The inquisition into the contents of the account
lhook and ledger of the professional, mercantile, and
'trading man ; and into the pocket or memorandum
hook of the pensioner (male and female), the widow,
the orphan, and the poor gentleman, is domi-
ciliary search with a vengeance, and in the shape of au
e xtortioner to boot.

TEIGNMOUTII.—The surplice is still continued. On
!Sunday last the greater part of a very small congre-
ization left the church, amidst much noise and confusion.
It says that the worthy incumbent is preparing for
at siege, and that on Sunday next, the police are to guard
the church to prevent an uproar, that the surplice wor-
shippers may not be disturbed. The only mode left is
tio petition Parliament, and it is to be hoped
*eat not many days will elapse before that
constitutional method of expressing the feelings
sal: the people will be adopted. Nothing must be
lit ft undone which can constitutionally be done, until the
a rplice is left off in preaching ; the chair at the comm
i -
it on unscrewed, and turned round, that the clergyman
n Lay not be ashamed to look his congregation in the
fl tee ; and the weekly offertory abolished ; the watch
words must be, persevere and conquer, and until then,
.rai id until the minister has expressed something like
amtrition for his conduct, and apologised fur his
indged epistle to his parishioners, abstain from going
t o West Teignmouth church.— Western Times.

ae Chelmsford, are worked. The weight of the wire

WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Dee arrived
at Southampton yesterday. She was five days over-
due. She does not bring any specie on account of
Mexican dividends.

She does not bring any additional news from
Mexico. At the time of her departure, Santa Anna
was advancing upon Vera Cruz. He was closely
watched by Paredes, but no collision had taken place
between their troops.

The Dee, on the 22d ult. encountered a heavy gale
from W.N.W., which lasted three days. One of her
paddle-floats was carried away.
At 10 o'clock A.M., on the morning of Saturday
last, the Dee exchanged signals with the barque Uni-
corn, belonging to and bound for London, in lon.
9.20 W., lat. 48.46, all well.
On the same day also exchanged signals with the
Woodbridge, of London, running westward, and
wished to be reported.
On the 9th, in the afternoon, off the Start, spoke
the Luton, of Baltimore, steering W.S.W.

OXFORD, MONDAY NIGHT.—The Proctors of the
University have decided on not interposing their veto on
Thursday next, and the Tractarian party are straining every
nerve to bring up voters in support of Tract 90. The mi-
nority, it is anticipated, will be very large--some say as many
as from three to four hundred—including the names of Mr.
Gladstone, Dr. Hook, and others, who are stated in Tracta-
rian circles to have promised their support against the con-
demnation •f the Tract.—. From a Corre.spandent.
On Monday, the 10th inst., a general assembly of
the Academicians of the Royal Academy of Arts was held at
their apartments, in Trafalgar-square, when Charles Land-
seer, Esq., was duly elected a Royal Academician in the
room of Henry Perronet Briggs, Esq., deceased.
DEATH BY DROWNlNG.—Yesterday information was
received from sea, that another fisherman, whose home was
at Barking, was drowned by being knocked from the deck of
the smack Humility, by the tiller of the vessel, on Friday
last. His name is Joseph Balla, and he has left a wife and
two small children to deplore his untimely end. He was
about twenty-five years of age.

LORD ELLENBOROUGH

Mr. lIUME wished further to ask, if there would
be any objection to lay before the House the cor-
respondence which had taken place between the Di-
rectors of the East India Company and her Majesty's
Government on the subject of the recal of Lord El-
len horough ?
Mr. BARING was again inaud,ble to the gallery
in his answer, but it was received with laughter in
the house.

Mr. HUME said if the Government had no inten-
tion to present the papers, perhaps there would be no
objection to his moving for them himself?—(A laugh.)
Mr. BARING'S answer was not heard.

IDOLATRY IN INDIA.—JUGGERNAUT.
Sir IL 11. INGLIS would take that opportu-
nity,
as the affairs of India had been introduced,
to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether anything
had been done to carry into effect the minute of the
Board of Directors of the East India Company, which
was to the effect that the Government of India should
be separated from all connexion with idolatry and
superstition. He wished to ask whether the pay-
ment of 60,000 rupees per annum to the idol of
Juggernaut was continued, or that the land

presidency of Bengal ?
Mr. BARING was understood to say that, with re-

pass. It was, as at present before them, a case between
two private individuals ; it was not for the Court to an-
ticipate the objections which might be raised by either
party ; it was for those concerned to raise those objec-
tions if they thought proper, and for the Court to decide
on them. They were much indebted to the bailiff for
calling their attention to the questions which he had
spoken of ; but as the law officers of the Crown did not
advise them against the course of proceeding which was
now sought for by the plaintiff, they saw no reason to
object to it.
The Queen's Sergeant then twice called " William
Francis Patrick Napier, Esq.," and no answer being
given, a record was made of " Vera—et es t l'adjonction

THE RUBRIC AND BOOK OF COMMON
PRAYER.

Lord EBRINGTON rose to present a petition
from the Rev. Dr. Carwithen, rector of Stoke Clims-
land, in the diocese of Exeter, praying that the sta-
tutes 2 and 3 Edward VI., c. 1, and 1 Elizabeth, c. 2,
may be repealed; and that the House will procure a
calm and temperate review of the Book of Common
Prayer, rubrics, and canons of the Church of England.
The petitioner stated that he was bound by the
canons and his ordination vows to obey the commands
of his bishop; and that by Acts 2 and 3 Edward VI.,
and 2 and 3 Elizabeth, he was liable to be indicted
by any common informer for any deviation from
the rubric ; and that on conviction he was liable to a
heavy fine and a lengthened imprisonment. That on
conviction for a third offence he was liable to depri-
vation of all ecclesiastical preferment, and to impri-
sonment for life. That archbishops and bishops were
liable to these punishments for such offences, as well
as the inferior clergy; and that he was anxious to
perform his ministrations according to the directions of
his bishop, and according to law. The petitioner then
alluded to the excited state of the diocese of Exeter, and
stated that he had recently received three pastoral
letters from his bishop on the subject, all of which
were of different import, and that he felt at a loss
to know how to perform his ministry with safety to
himself and with satisfaction to his parishioners. He
therefore prayed the House to review the directions
contained in the rubric and the Book of Common
Prayer, as neither the archbishops nor the bishops,
either individually or collectively, possessed the power
of altering a single letter in them—that the present
time appeared to the petitioner to resemble the times
just after the restoration of Charles 11., when it was
found that the rubric was unsuited to the times,
and that monarch was advised to issue a letter to the
Convocation, commanding them to revise the Book
of Common Prayer, when certain alterations were
proposed therein, and approved of by Parliament.
The petitioner, with all due deference, submitted to
the House that a party had without appealing to con-
vocation altered the rubric in the Marriage Act of
George 111., and he prayed the House to take the
subject into serious consideration. The Noble Lord
also presented a petition on the same subject, and to
the same effect, from another place, signed by the
Mayor and Corporation.
After a considerable pause
Mr. HUME rose and said he wished that in the
taxes which were intended to be repealed that on the
exportation of coals would be included.
