QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY•)

its origin :-
" The hatred of the missionaries to the Catholic religion,
and to the French name, betrays itself in every line of this
long address. What is most striking and most characteristic
is, that the Queen has sent a copy of her letter to Kame-
hatneha, third King of the Sandwich Islands, with a request
that he would insert it in the Polynecian, an English
journal, published in Honolulu. How probable that this
recourse to the press should be the act of a poor ignorant
woman I Moreover, her letter is countersigned by a certain
George Platt, aid its contents breathe from one end to the
other the perfume of the doctrines preached at Exeter-hall."
The Basle Gazette states that Dr. STEIGER has re-
ceived his pardon ; but we find by a letter from Lucerne
of the 23d that the statement is unfounded. It appears,
however, that the Executive Council has been called
upon to report, in the event of the life of Dr. STEIGER
being spared, what means can be adopted of preventing
his disturbing in future the tranquillity of the country.

STATE OF TRADE.—There was a steady market
yesterday, both for yarn and goods, and prices of both were very
firm, with a tendency to advance in several descriptions of yarn,
as well as in the best 27.inck printing-cloth, and the inferior
qualities of 40-inch shirting!, which had been previously some-
what depressed as compared with other fabrics. The Rochdale
Flannel Market.—Monday, May 26.—There has been about an
average demand for flannels to-day, with little or no change in
prices. The wool market is much the same as that of last week.

TUE QUEEN V. GR:GORY.
At the sitting of the Court this marling,
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, onlbehalf tf the Duke of Brunswick,
prayed the judgment of the Court on laniard Gregory, whom, it
will be recollected, was brought up on he day previous to his dis.
charge from Newgate to receive seldom on that occasion. Mr.
Platt (now Mr. Baron Platt) opposed the motion, on the ground
that the conviction was bad. The poht came subsequently to be
argued, and the Court took time to cinsider. The Learned Ser-
geant now applied for judgment.
*Lord DENMAN said that the Court hid made arrangements which
would prevent it complying with the request; It
could not by any
means come on to-day, nor could ths Cuurt at present fix any
period.
The Duke of Brunswick was in Court.

The intimation given by Lord John Russell last evening
that he intended this day to put questions to the Premier with
respect to negotiations with the Government of Brazil, hav-
ing for their object the formation of a new treaty of com-
merce, Sze., has attracted attention in City circles. It is more
than probable, from what we hear, that the answer will
be that there are no negotiations at present for
the purpose alluded to. But from information, through
private sources, we believe there cannot be a doubt that
something like an approximation with the views of our Go-
vernment, and of that of the Brazils, is in progress. It
cannot be too strongly urged upon the attention of our
Ministers that deep and lasting injury must be pro-
duced upon a very large proportion of our manu-
facturing interests, and upon our export trade, by a strict
adherence to the line of policy which has recently been car-
ried out respecting the amount of duties levied upon the
staple exports of the Brazils. And an opening is afforded
by the fact, that (as we are told) the mission of the
Count d'Abrantes to the German Union has not been quite so
satisfactory as reported in the Continental journals. If
this prove true, no time should be lost by our Government
in resuming, if it has not already done so, a friendly inter-
communication with the Minister at present located here as
representative of the Brazilian empire.
We are without any arrivals of interest to-day from the
colonies.
Railway schemes were so prolific that we confidently ex-
pect to see scores of them of but limited existence-in
fact, never carried beyond the preliminary stage of
the advertising and collection of deposits. some
lines, however, especially where requiring no large
amount of capital, will be certain to ensure support
from the public, as well as the Legislature, and many of the
Irish lines stand in this favourable position, how-
ever doubtful it may be whether one or two,
which we could name, will pay. A small under-
taking of a most promising character, full details of
which, we believe, have appeared in the advertising columns
of The Sun, has been brought under our notice, and cer-
tainly appears to offer an unusually excellent prospect of ad-
vantage to the district for -which provided, as well as for
the parties who may be so lucky as to be concerned as share-
holders. The Newry and Warren Point Railway is the line
to which we allude, and which, for so short a line, will ac-
complish more than many similar and expensive under-
takings. It will connect Newry, an important commercial
town, with its shipping, port, and harbour, and be an
im-
portant adjunct to the Newry and Enniskillen and Dublin
and Belfast Railways.
The Public Securities have been very firm to-day, and
there has been a good business doing. Consols have realised
99% to % for Money, and 99% to 3/4 for Account. Ex-
chequer-bills have been 61s. to 635. premium. Bank Stock
is rather firmer, at 210 to 209%. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 1011% to Al. The Three
per Cents. are 91% to %. The Government broker continues
to purchase New Three-and-a-Quarter and Three per Cents.
The Foreign Bonds are dull, as the Acceunt will be ar-
ranged to-morrow. Spanish Actives have been 29%, and
Portuguese Converted 66% ; Mexican have been quoted
36% to 371 x. Brazilian are firm at 90. Dutch Two-and a-
Half per Cents. were 633/4-
The Railway Shares have been rather brisk again, although
the settlement of the Account is iu progress. The old lines
are best supported.
