Tim Sur. Tuanx.--The proceedings in the House of
Commons last night on the state of this trade, were hear!'
with intense anxiety by all parties who are interested 1.0
it. The opponents of free trade argue, that the Prgo"
dent of the Bombay trade has stated nothing to warrens
the course adopted, referring as a commentary to the
speech, to the miserable condition of all branches of Silk
manufacture at present. In the nurket there is nothing
at all doing.

A small gold coin, about the circumference
of a half-sovereign, but as thin almost as a wafer, was
lately dug up in the Park at Preston. It is supposed to
be of the reign of Henry the sth. It is in wonderful pre-
servation, every character upon it being perfectly distinct-

CATHOLICS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
We have been informed, by good authority, that one of
those individuals whom LORD MOUNTCASHEL styled
Leading Agitators, has been offered, within the last
four or five days, the support of a very powerful hod" °f
men in a certain town in the North of England, where
vacancy is about to take place. Mr. LAWLESS has been
culled upon to stand for the approaching vacancy, and ii
promised the support of ',the most leading men of the
town. This is a good reply to the assertion, that the
people were every where hostile to Emancipation. The
town we allude to is one distinguished by its reform
and we understand Mr. Lawutss has ever been a
friend to these principles in the most enlarged sense.—
Morning Paper.

During this week we bare had a continued
storm from the eastward, so violent as we believe to be
unprecedented at this advanced part of the see"°• in
the night between Saturday and Sunday last, the wind
flew round to the eastward, from which quarter it has
since blown, for the greater part, a hard gale, varying
from E.S.E. to E. and E.N.E. The cold has gene-
rally been intense, with a heavy damp atmosphere',
and frequent and often heavy falls of rain, sleet, and
hail, while the hills in some parts of the interior appear
covered with snow. A change of the weather so unpro-
pitious, at this important season, when all were busily
occupied with the oat seed, the farmers view with much
anxiety and apprehension, not only as regards the neatly
total interruption for the present of all the operations of
husbandry, but the consequences to the seed already in the
ground, especially in low situations, where the land must
be laid under water. Yesterday the storm was unabated,
and we had some thick showers of snow, the gale conti-
nuing to blow violently from E., with no appearance of
a change.—Aberdeen Chronicle of Saturday.
