" I do not believe that the Bank of England will be able to sell
Government securities, so as to prepare for the payment of the
July dividends, unless Parliament, before it rises, passes a no
less sweeping measure than MAKING SILVER SHILLINGS A

" Such are the direct and legitimate consequences of Sir
Robert Peel's departure from the principle of protection to
British labour at home and abroad.",

In confirmation of Mr. Buchanan's views, as to the difficulty
in which the Bank of England feels itself, we may state that a
report was rife on 'Change yesterday, communicated from Lon-
don, which even more strongly stated the same views than he
has done iu the quotation above.

The case of Moziey v. Alston—the broad and narrow gauge
case—was before the Lord Chancellor on Wednesday, being an
appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor.

off the line, in the opinion of the witnesses, by passing over the
deceased.

out in the premises occupied by Mr. Kennedy,-linen draper,
Crown-chambers, Redcross-street. The fire-engines were soon
in the vicinity of the spot, but were withdrawn, their services
not being required. In this case it was extremely fortunate
that Mr. Baty, wine and spirit merchant, to whom the greatest

MRS. HILES'S CONCERT.-It will be seen by an advertise-
ment in our first page that this now distinguished vocalist
takes a Concert on Tuesday evening next. We have had on
more than one occasion reason to commend highly the singing
of Mrs. Hiles. She has a power of voice which for compass
and execution is barely surpassed by the first vocalists of the
land, while at the same time she-inteciduces• a .distretiOil of
feeling, a pleasing and powerful emphasis that gives to the
piece an effect that is truly desirable. The worshipful the

CAsF. COLLISION.—THE GIPSEY Lushington
delivered judgment in this case (which was argued in February
last), in the Admiralty Court, on Friday last. The suit was
brought by the owners of a vessel called the Highlander,
against the owners of the Gipsey King, for damages in conse-

scale; those of all other articles being trifling in the extreme,

The receipts of English Wheat fresh up from Kent were
moderate. Those from Essex, Cambridge. &c., small. The
stands being scantily supplied with samples, arising from a

good clearance being effected on Friday lasi, and the attendance
of buyers, several of whom were from France, large ; the Eng-
lish Wheat trade was very brisk, at an improvement in the quota-
tions obtained on Monday last, of from ss. to 6s. per qr., and at
which all the samples were disposed of. The t ransactions in Eng-

quarters, or, at least, a moiety of the supply of that -.article
brought forward. The whole of the reported arrivals of foreign
