from the House, and assistance from the accused, by
professing the one, but he has shown by his acts that he
meant the other. He has failed, indeed, in doing any-

than all, that his own Committee and the House of Com-

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

Business in the Funds has been very trifling to-day, and the
intelligence from America of there being a oifficulty in the ad-
justment of the Boundary Question has given a flatness to the
market. Private accounts, however, do not appear to view the
obstable, whatever it may be. as serious, but
rather that the delay arises from Lord Ashburton
having to wait for instructions from home, and that the whole
matter will, upon their. arrival, be amicably and speedily ar-
ranged. Consuls are 91b 91i for Money, and fur the Ac-
count ; Three per Cents. Reduced 914 ; Three-and-a-

The speculative operators in Mexican Bonds have taken ad-
vantage of the circumstance of Santa Alma remonstrating
against assistance being afforded to the Texians from the United
States, to depress the quotations of the Bonds. It
has been known ever since hostilities were first
talked of, that numbers of restless individuals would
join the Texians in their private capacity, and that Pre-
sident Tyler could not hinder them. This document is then,
in reality, of no value; but having for the present answered the
purpose of dealers for a time, and lowered the quotation one
per cent., the price is again suffered to rise, and is marked
36 to-day.
In Railroad Shares, the only purchases havebeen London and
Birmingham 181, Quarter shares, 44, and South Western 62.
The letters from the United States by the Caledonia, give
very unsatisfactory accounts of the condition of trade in
America. The usual interval between spring and autumn
having commenced, but little business is expected at this season,
but it is stated that less had been done during the early part of
the year than had been anticipated, and no more favourable
prospect is held out for the fall. In addition to the depression
caused by monetary affairs, the controversy on the subject of
the Tariff had considerably increased it, and until the question
be settled, merchants avoided forwarding orders for goods for
import.
The repudiation system having been virtually recognised by
Congress, in the discussion upon? and rejection of, the measure
for the adoption of the debts of individual States by the Fede-
ral Union, and the refusal of the Legislature of Pennsylvania
to adopt means for meeting the interest ,due on the Ist of
August; have given another shock to the finances. and a con-
siderable 'fall had taken place in the prices of the various
stocks. Of the whole debt of Pennsylvania, upwards of five
millions sterling is held iu this country. By the last arrival it
was announced that Arkansas had failed in its engagements,
and that an agent was about to visit Europe for the purpose of
negotiating the new State loan. By this vessel intelligence is
received of another loss about to be inflicted upon our
capitalists by repudiation of. the State in question. These
facts are mentioned as a caution against making any further
advances to America, since, as has beets before stated, no gua-
rantee can be given that either the interest or principal will.
ever be paid, if it shall please the several Legislative Assem-
blies to refuse. It will doubtless be attempted to raise Money
here, which efforts may be expected to be furthered by some
of the large holders in this country and on the Continent, in the
hope that if they should succeed, some arrangement may be
entered into with Indiana, Illinois, &c., by which the prices of
their bonds may be temporarily raised, and so allow these par-
ties to get rid of them on better terms, but at the expense of
their own countrymen.

ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR PREFERMENTS

BILL.
This Bill was read a third time, and passed.
EAST INDIA BISHOPS BILL.

The Report of the Committee on this Bill was post-
poned till Monday.
NEWFOUNDLAND BILL.

On the Order of the Day being read for going into
Committee on this Bill,
Mr. O'CONNELL rose to move that the Committee
be postponed for three months, to enable a communica-
tion to be had from the parties interested. In 1832 there
was every reason to expect that the grant of a constitu-
tion to Newfoundland would be attended with beneficial
effects ; and after inquiries had been instituted, a charter
was granted, on the 27th July of that year, giving them
a constitution which consisted of two houses of
Parliament ; one consisting of representatives elected
by the people, and the other a legislative Council
appointed by the Crown, the Governor having
the power of assenting to, or withholding his con-
sent from the measures they agreed to. How did
that constitution work ? He would refer them to Sir
John Harvey's despatch, dated Gth October, 1841, which
said " The trade of the colony is flourishing, and the re-
venue ample and increasing." The people were loyal,
and attached to this country, and how were they about
to reward them ? By trampling on them, and taking
away their constitution. Let them not trust too much
to their power to crush the people of Newfoundland. Let
them remember that the French had a strong interest in
the island. Sir John Harvey in one of his
despatches, said that the influence of the constitution
was a sufficient check on the public mind
to prevent violence at any futme elections.
What then were the reason►s for thus seeking to
oppress the inhabitants of Newfoundland ? He regretted
that he should have to state what those reasons were
but the truth must be told. They were persecuting
the people of this island because the majority of them
were human Catholics.—(leur. hear.) 'The griev-
ance that he particularly complained of was,
that this Bill aas not founds d on an in-,
vetigation in which both parties had been heard.
All he required was, that the Bill should be
postponed till such an investigation aas completed. There
was an absence of all evidence on which to proceed to
the destruction of the constitution ; on the contrary, he
had shown them that the greatest blessings resulted to
the people, from their having obtained a constitution.
But one party was interested in the destruction of the
constitution, because such would advance their own mo-
no! olising interests ; but the popular party—the party
ben( fited by the constitution—the party: interested in
the internal improvement of the colony desired the pre-
servation of the constitution, and that was the position
Of the inhabitants whose interest it was now sought to
crush. But let them see what were the alterations which
the Noble Lord proposed to make in the constitution?
.The first was to destroy the two Houses of the
Legislature, and anntlgainate them into one. Why
thus mock them with the, appearance, without the
reality of a constitution ? Let the old system
be revived. Let despotism be established—let the
people be punished as formerly, fur making improve-
ments in the colony—for building houses—for cultivating
the land. Let there be a eespotism which would be re-
spo.isible, but let them no!. receive a mockery of a con-
stitution—let not their Legislature be converted into a
divan. The second alteration proposed, was an increase
in the qualification of the members of the Asiembly. Sir
J. Harvey recommended the increase in the qualification,
and he (Mr. O'Connell) was not adverse to it. The
colonists themselves were willing to increase the quail&
fication, but this Bill proposed to take the matter out of
their hands. Be protested against thus taking the
legislation upon this subject from the inhabitants of the
colony. He objected also to the change proposed to be
made in the qualification of vwttrs, which was to be
raised to a 51. franchise for the town districts, and a
forty shilling freehold with an occupation of two years,
He contended that such an alteration would disfranchise
a very large proportion of the inhabitants, and whom
Sir J. Harvey considered as the must valuable part of the
community. It bad been said with respect to the subject
of the finances, that the Crown ought to have the
power of originating money grants, as was done in this
country. Why, according to the Charter, no money
could be expended without the Governor's warrant.
Some grants certainly could be made by the Assembly,
but was that a ground for destroying the Constitution ?
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

A Cabinet Council was held this afternoon at the
Foreign-office. It was attended by Sir Robert Peel, the
Duke of Wellington, Earl of Ripon, Earl of Aberdeen, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and other Ministers.
The Lord Chancellor and Lord Fitzgerald and Vesey
were absent from the Council.

MURDER IN ESSEX.—Within the last three or four
days the village of Mauncien, a few miles from Brentwood, in
Essex, has been thrown into a state of excitement by the murder
of a child by its mother, under circumstances of much atrocity.
It appears that on Sunday night last, a labouring man named
Han.mond, on returning home from church, discovered his
youngest child, which was about a month old, lying in an out-
house with its head completely severed from the body, and quite
dead. He gave the alarm, when, upon his wife being interro-
gsted, she confessed Laving perpetrated the horrid deed, and
expressed not the least concern. She was immediately taken
into custody, and persons were placed with her to prevent her
committing self. destruction. On Wednesday afternoon an in-
quest was held at the White Hart Inn, before Mr. C. C. Lewis,
which occupied several hours, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder"
was returned against Elizabeth Hammond, the mother' who
was committed on the Coroner's warrant to Chelmsford Gaol,
for trial at the ensuing assizes.
METROPOLITAN BENEFIT SOCIETIES' ASYLUM.—
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor has become a Vice. President

nicated to the Chamber of Representatives yesterday, by the

many members of the estates of the province were assembled to
receive him.

BERLIN, JULY 24.—A further list of contributions
for the relief of the sufferers by the fire at Hamburgh has been
published. The total amount of the sums remitted to Ham-
burg is 100,000 marks banco.
COPENHAGEN, JULY 23.—A proposal relative to
the prisons of this city having been made to the King by Mrs.
Elizabeth Fry and her brother, John Gurney, his Majesty con-
sulted the Chancellor on the subject; he has now been pleased
to resolve on measures respecting the prisons, and the classifi-
cation and superintendence of the prisoners.
BERLIN, JULY 20.—The statement respecting the
illustrious persons said to be expected at the greatautumnal
reviews in the Rhenish provinces, are quite incorrect. At
present no others are expected than the Kings of Wurtemberg
and Hanover, the Archduke John. the Grand Duke of Meck-
lenburg Schwerin, and the Duke of Nassau.

Three Israelites have been returned as Deputies to
the French Chamber, namely, Crimieux, Cerf beer, and Achille
Fould ; the two first take an active part in the interests of our

Benoit, who .vas in the last Chamber, has been ousted—his
neglect of Jewish interests in tr% nig times, leaves little to be
int% tied on that score.— 7he Vjice of Jacob.
AioNTRosE. --Trade here is still becoming worse ;
week after week is adding to the list of the unemployed. We
tremble to look forward. Cabinet-makers, upholsterers, joiners,
and house-carpenters of all grades, are almost totally unem-
ployed ; and a great many of the yoor hand-loom weavers have
jot notice to look out as they finish their pieces, but where can
they look to? It is sickening to the eye and harrowing to the
heart, and eriouali to drive men to desperation.— Dundee Chron.
