HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY.
The Speaker took the chair this day at two o'clock.
ST. SAVIOUR'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Mr. HARVEY moved to discharge the order for leave for
the committee on St. Saviour's (Southwark) School Bill to
sit on Thursday. The hon. member said, according to the
rules of the house, a bill 'could not be referred to a select
committee until seven days had elapsed; and the seven days
in this case would not expire until Tuesday next. The ob-
ject of the bill was to erect a new school, and a house for the
master to reside in at an expense of £4OOO, which he consi-
dered quite unnecessary, as there were so few pupils in the
school, he believed only 15. He, therefore, trusted the
house would agree to the present motion.
Mr. P. TIIOMPSON said he did not object to the motion, as
he considered in this case the rules of the house had nut
been complied with.

Motion agreed to.
The reports on the following bills were brought up and
agreed to; the Consolidated Fund Bill, the Exchequer Bills
Bill, the Exchequer Bills (Public Works) Bill, the Four-
and-a-Half per Centum Duties Bill, the Slave Trade Trea-
ties Bill, the Coal Trade (London, &c.) Bill, and the Church
Building Acts Amendment Bill.
The Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster Bill was read a
third time and passed.
The Corporate Property (Ireland) Bill.went through com-
mittee.
The report on the Duchy of Cornwall (Tin Duties) Bill
was brought up and agreed to, and the bill ordered to be
read a third time to-morrow.
Several petitions on various subjects were presented.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of and the
house adjourned at half-past two o'clock until a quarter be-
fore four o'clock to-morrow.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY, TWELVE O'CLOEK.--The accounts from
Manchester state that there was a very active demand for
Yarn yesterday, and a considerable extent of business was I
-done at the full prices of the preceding week; some of the
spinners were demanding a slight advance, which was not ob-
tained. In goods there was no material change from the
preceding Tuesday.
The operations in the British funds during yesterday were
of a limited description, and Coniols closed steady with a
trifling improvement at 931, 94 fnr the Account, Money 934 g.
Opened at the same prices. The foreign exchanges were ra-
ther lower, and it is expected that some further extensive
importations of foreign grain will take place, which will
cause the rates of the exchanges to continue low. Exchequer
