is an extract :—I have therefore deemed it expedient
and necessary to declare, as I do hereby proclaim and
declare, that the said emigrants (at Port Natal) have no
right or claim to be recognised as an independent state
or people ; that her Majesty will not recognise them as
such, and will not permit or suffer any portion of her
stbjects to form themselves into an independent state or
people within any of the said territories ; and that, in
obedience to the orders of my Sovereign, I shall resume
the military occupation of the same, by sending thither,
without delay, a detachment of her Majesty's forces.' "

EFFECTS OF. THE CORN-LAWS ON THE
OBSERVANCE OF DIVINE SERVICE.—At the annual
meeting of the Bristol City Mission Society, held last
week, the Chairman, the Rev. T. East, of Birmingham,
forcibly described the tinchristianizing influence of the
ruinous Corn-laws on the religious community ; he
stated that, in the town of Birmingham, " at least 15 per
cent. of the more steady hearers of the Gospel, and per
cent, of the most pious attendants and• members of the
churches, had been rendered unable to attend a place
of worship by the rapidly increasing poverty of the
times. They had not clothes to appear in, and their
children had no clothes ; and to such an extent did this
state of things prevail in Birmingham, that they had
been obliged to establish Sabbath schools for single
streets in the town, in order to take in the poor half-
clothed children, who would otherwise receive no in-
struction." This alarming state of things, it should be
remembered, is not confined to Birmingham alone ; it
exists at our very doors ! The Report of the Committee
of the same Society stated, that the visitors had to con-
tend with great difficulties, arising from their inability to
meet the temporal distress which so greatly prevails in our
city ; and, we perceive by an advertisement, that it has
been found necessary, in the Tabernacle district, to
solicit public subscriptions, in order, as far as possible,
to render the labours of the missionaries and visitors
available for the purposes of Christian instruction, for
which they were designed.
CHURCH-RATES.—ST. MARTIN'S; LEICES-
TER.—On Friday evening, summonses for non-payment
of Churbh-rates, in the parish of St. Martin, Leicester,
taken out by Richard Frederick Eames, hatter, East •gates,
and John Sarson, grocer, Hotel-street, Churchwardens
'of the above parish, were served upon the following
parishioners :—John Manning, giocer, High-street ; J.
F. Winks, printer, ditto ' • W. and -G. Baines, furriers,
Market-place ; T. and W. Stevenson, drapers, ditto ; J.
Shardlow, tinman, East-gates ; J. Swain, grocer, High-
cross-street ; Swain and Paddy, cheesemongers, ditto ;
W. Baines, tinman, High .street; H. A. Collier, Mercury-
office, ditto J. Holmes, boot and shoe-maker, Silver-
street ; J. Pickard, hair-dresser, Market-place ; T. Bur-
ners, boot and shoemaker, High-street ; W. Thirlby,
grocer, ditto. The above parties are summoned to ap-
pear at the Exchange on Monday next, when Mr. Winks
will probably answer to the summonses on behalf of the
whole. There are a number of other recusants, not yet
summoned.---Leicester Mercury of Saturday.

.
Upwards of forty men :-.re now busied in painting and
decorating the interior of the Pavilion at Brighton, for
the reception of her Majesty and Prince Albert.
The tides have been unusually high, since the late hur-
ricane, on both sides of the Thames, and the cellars of
many houses have been flooded.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
The decline in the public securities which commenced
rather in a marked manner on Saturday, was not arrested
to-day, the public coming forward as sellers of Stock.
The motive evidently is rather that of doubt and anxiety,
as to the probable measures of the present Government,
than any immediate demand for money or mere specu-
lative operations. Consols for immediate transfer were
at 89 to 884, and for Account at 891 to 89, closing at
89 for the former, and 89k buyers for the latter. Ex-
chequer Bills were 175. to 19s. premium, and India Bonds
9s. to lls. premium. Bank Stock was at 1671, the New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realised 981 to 98k, and
the Three per. Cents. were at 891 to 89k.
The Foreign Stocks were flat also. Spanish Actives
were at 241 to 241, being a decline; Portuguese New
Five per Cents. brought 331 to 338, Mexican 291, and
Colombian 214. Belgian Bonds were at 102, and Dutch
Two-and-a Half per Cents. at 51*.
Shares were nearly all sold on reduced terms. Great
Western closed at 19 premium. Brighton at 14i to 141
discount. Birmingham at 79i premium.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 29.—We have
had a dull Cotton Market to-day, the sales comprising
nearly 3,000 bales, all of which have been sold to the trade.
LIVERPOOL SNARE MARKET, JAN. very iudit-
ferent business has been transacted at the Stock Ex-
change today :—Grand Junction, 195 ; North of Eng-
land, 80 ; Eastern Counties; 8i ; London and Birming-
ham, 169.
