The supplies 0, English Wheat at to-day's market were only
moderate, and there have been no arrivals of Foreign, so that
both may be noted at a further decline of is. to 2s. per quarter
on the currency of this day se'nnight. For Flour there was a
good demand for present consumption at an abatement of is.
per sack. The finest descriptions of English Barley being
scarce, prices were 6d. to is. per quarter dearer. Oats also
have slightly advanced, say 6d. per quarter. In Beans and

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY

Mr. J. O'CONNELL brought forward a question of pri-
vilege, which, after amusing the house for a short time,
he withdrew.

Mr. EWART then reproduced his sessional motion for
leave to bring in a bill to repeal the punishment of death.
He urged that capital punishment was an uncertain one;
that it was unequal relatively to the crime; that the spec-
tacle was demoralizing ; that the punishment of death
produced a reactionary feeling in the mind of the public,
and even of the criminal himself; it was the only punish-
ment which imitated the crime it was intended to repress ;
and, lastly, it was an irremediable penalty.

Sir G. GREY opposed the motion, feeling the strongest
conviction that the time was far distant when the inflic-
tion of the extreme penalty of the law, in cases of extreme
guilt, could be dispensed with. Many of Mr. Ewart's
arguments, he remarked, applied to a period antecedent
to 1841, since which time no criminal had suffered the
punishment of death but for wilful and deliberate mur-
der. He maintained the necessity, although it might not
be capable of actual demonstration, for the protection of
human life, of throwing around it that terror which was

entertained of the punishment of death, and which being
entertained had a deterring effect. He denied that the
crime of murder had increased, as Mr. Ewart had as-
sumed ; on the contrary, taking a series of years, murder
was the only crime which had not materially increased.
Sir George then examined the statistical arguments of
Mr. Ewart, drawing very different conclusions from the
official returns, to which, however, he did not attach
much value, preferring to take a common-sense view of
the question ; and he asked the house whether it could
be affirmed that the time had arrived when capital punish-
ment could be abolished for murder and for high treason,
no substitute being suggested which would afford an equal
protection to society. He admitted the evils arising from
public executions, which furnished a strong objection to
capital punishment ; but whilst it was retained public
executions were unavoidable.

Several other members addressed the house, when the
motion was negatived by a majority of 51 to 25.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY

Amongst other business, the Clergy Relief Bill went
into committee. The clauses, up to the fifth, were agreed
to, as was part of the sixth clause ; but the latter part,
which allowed clergymen to refuse the rights of the
Church to seceding clergymen, was negatived, on a divi-
sion, by a majority of 118 to 57.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1849-05-08

HOUSE OF LORDS-THURSDAY

The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice of a motion rela-
tive to the agricultural distress, for Friday, 11th May.
The Bishop of CASHEL presented petitions from 40,000
Protestants in Ireland, and 16,600 of the clergy, in favour
of scriptural education in Ireland.

The Cruelty to Animals Prevention Bill was, after some
debate, read the third time.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY

A large number of petitions were presented in favour of
and against the New Marriage Bill ; in favour of the
Clergy Relief Bill ; and several in favour of compelling
Railway Companies to run passenger trains on a Sunday.
The second reading of the Marriages Bill was moved by
Mr. Wortley.

Mr. GOITLBURN rose to move that it be read a second
time that day six months. He premised that this was a
question which, involving the construction of Holy Writ
and the meaning of the Divine command, was difficult to
deal with in a popular assembly. He then spoke at some
length against the bill, and concluded by pointing out the
position in which the clergy would be placed by this mea-
sure, and by the awkward attempt to evade the difficulty
by leaving it optional with a clergyman to celebrate such
marriages or not. _ _

A discussion then followed, in which Mr. Mikes, Mr.
Seymer, the Earl of Arundell, Mr. J. O'Connell, and
others took part, after which the debate was adjourned to
the following day.
The nomination of the select committee on Savings'
Banks led to a smart debate and two divisions.

Corporation are willing to become parties to an un-
dertaking to that effect." We have very little
doubt that he is right here. Mr. Hawksley could
easily get a contractor to execute the precise quan-
tity of embanking, cutting, tunneling, bridging,
walling, &c., laid down nn his own Parliamentary
plan, at his own estimate, he himself being the sole
party authorised to decide as to their workmanship,
`rength, and adequacy for the purpose for which

and Newlands, as do most people, who have oh-
sered anything about engineers' estimates and pub-
lic works.

they we:

So much for Mr. Hawksley's letter;—and now
let us proceed to the important inquiry with which
we set out—what course is the best to be pursued
under present circumstances. The Pike scheme, so
far as the people of Liverpool can exercise an inde-
pendent power, is utterly condemned. How then
are we to get rid of the liabilities which it has
already entailed upon us, and what steps are we
to take to procure an adequate supply of the
water, which we now find that we possess in
abundance in our own locality ? The first pro-
ceeding towards the realisation of the former con-
summation ought to be the passing of such a re-
solution by the Council, as would place beyond all
doubt the fact that they have abandoned the scheme
entirely. Under the provisions of the act of Par-
liament, notices have been given to various land-
owners along the line of the proposed works of the
intention of the Liverpool Corporation to purchase
portions of their property. These parties, of
course, hold such property as virtually sold, or at
all events unsaleable to any other buyer until the
Corporation has taken what it requires ; and many
of them, no doubt, in the event of the scheme
being abandoned, would claim, and be entitled to
compensation. The sooner, therefore, they are

HOUSE OF LORDS-TUESDAY

The Bishop of EXETER presented several petitions
praying that the Bill for the Consolidation of the Criminal
Law might not he passed, and also that the penalty of

prcetnunire, which was extremely vague and almost un•
intelligible, might be exchanged for something distinct
and practical.
Lord BROUGHAM explained that his bill left the penalty
in question exactly as it found it. It would be expedient,
however, before his bill passed, that Parliament should
apply itself to the consideration of the law of prmmunire,
and that it should not leave it in a state which was an
opprobrium to the country.
The Bishop of EXETER agreed with Lord Brougham in
thinking the penalty, as it now stood, a disgrace to the
statute-book, and hoped that the house would take the
opinions of the Judges before it came to any decision on
the subject.
Lord BROUGHAM moved for certain returns on the sub-
ject of the management of railways, which were agreed to.

HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 4

There is a good supply of Wl'eat and Barley, and small of
other articles. The trade has been more inactive. The busi-
ness in Wheat is almost confined to purchases made by mil-

Corn the demand is limited, and no alteration can be noted in
price.

Large arrivals of Wheat and Flour have been reported during
the week, but the supply of Farmer's Wheat at to day's mar-
ket was considerably less than of late Nearly all our millers
being bare of stock, choice parcels were in request, and for
such an advance of Is. per quarter was pretty generally paid.
In anticipation of further supplies of Wheat from abroad being
in a great measure cut off by neutral vessels becoming liable to
detention in the German ports, factors showed no disposition
to sell, except at enhanced rates. Very few sales of Foreign
Wheat could cm sequently be made. Grinding BarJey was
neglected, but Malting descriptions find chance buyers. In

LOCAL MEETINGS.

THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.—At the usual weekly
meeting, on Thursday, Mr. Tinne occupied the chair.
No smoke information, it was stated, had been laid for
two months. Mr. Bennett thought the committee ought
not to relax.—Mr. Hodson said he had had a case of
cholera this week in Raymond-street, Vauxhall-road,
which he attributed in a great measure to a pool of stag-
nant water just at the back door. The attention of
Mr. Fresh was directed to the subject.—The weekly re-
port of the medical officer of health was submitted.
During the last week the inclement weather had raised
the mortality above the average—the number of deaths
being 250,-26 over the previous week. Typhus fever was
increasing in prevalence. This had caused more than the
average mortality, the deaths from that disease being 31
within the last fortnight, the fortnightly average of the
preceding quarter being 18. On the other hand, from
scarlet fever there had been but seven deaths, while the
average of the preceding quarter was 27. Five fatal cases
of cholera had occurred last week—seven the previous
week. Dr. Duncan further reported that he had received
a letter from Mr. John Green, calling his attention to the
filthy and unwholesome state of the water in the canal.
He had personally inspected the matter, and found liquid
manure running into the canal from Mr. Pickering's yard.
The evil, he thought, could be remedied by placing a
cover over the manure to keep off the rain, and by more
speedy removal. Two of the cases of cholera last week
had occurred in an unregistered lodging-house, in Sher-
wood-street, for Irish emigrants. Other two cases were
those of a clerk in an emigration office and his wife, who
both died the same day. Mr. Bennett was glad to find
that the disease did not appear epidemical here.—Modified
plans of the baths and wash-houses to be erected in Corn-
wallis-street were submitted and adopted. The building
will be a very pretty one. By the modification a saving of
£4OO or £5OO will be effected. Specifications and work-
ing plans were ordered to be prepared, and tenders adver-
tised for.—Mr. Bennett said this was the first material
step to the erection of the new baths.—Mr. Hornby :
The next step must be to find the money. (Laughter.)

GERMAN OPERA.—From advertisements in the London
papers, we see that, in the course of the summer, we have
to expect the visit of a German Operatic Company in this
town, composed of the first musical talent in Germany.
Such names as Frau Palm-Spatzer, Herr Formes, Herr
Beck, and last, though not least, Herr Pischek, who is
already favourably known to English audiences as a con-
cert singer, entitle us to expect a treat of a superior kind,
The works of the German classical composers, together
with several more modern operas, entirely new to Eng-
land, though favourites on the continent, are to form the
repertoires.

EGREMONT FERRY. - LAUNCH OF A FINE
ADDITIONAL STEAMER FOR THE EGREMONT
AND NEW BRIGHTON STATIONS.

There was launched, on Saturday afternoon, from the
new building-yard, in Baffin-street, of Mr. Thomas Ver-
non, a beautiful iron steam-boat, called " the Fairy,"
built for Mr. Rushton Colebourn, proprietor of the
Egremont and New Brighton Ferries, and destined to ply
between those places and the Great Liverpool Landing-
stage. This vessel is of the bow form at both ends, with
two rudders, so that she may be propelled either way, as
may be desired, without the necessity of turning, or back-
ing out. She is uncommonly fine in model, with great
sharpness at the extremities, and her lines are so harmo-
niously blended, that with the extraordinary steam power
which will be employed, she will, beyond a doubt, realize
the expectations of the enterprising proprietor, by prov-
ing herself to be by far the fastest ferry-boat on the
Mersey. The following are her dime

skipper-like craft on our river. In length she exceeds the
James Atherton, belonging to the same party, by about
ten feet, but is a little less in breadth. It is expected

LEEDS CORN MARKET, APRIL 24

We have a fair arrival of pain this week. Buyers of Wheat
act with great caution, and in their purchases succeed at rather
under last week's prices; but the trade is generally firm, and
there is no pressure from the market. Barley as before; and
there is no alteration in Beans, Pease, or other articles.

WISBECH CORN MARKET, APRIL 28

We have had a much smaller supply of corn here today than
we expected. The sales of Wheat proceed steadily at a reduc-
tion of Is. to 2s. per quarter, but at 2s. below last week there
are free buyers. Beans and Oats are fully as dear.

MILNER'S PATENT STRONG WROUGHT
IRON " HOLDFAST" GOVERNMENT BOOK and
CASH SAFES and CLOSETS.—Fire-resisting by internal non-
conducting and evaporating chambers. The strongest Safes in
the world, with impregnable locks and fastenings. Milner's
Patent Fire-resisting Book Safes, Deed and- Prite Chests and
Boxes, of all sizes, 50 per cent. cheape hli the above. In the
large towns of the manufacturin, nd commercial districts
Milner's Safes, of the different cknesses, have been tested in
red heat, from one to twenty iur hours, by the authorities and
other scientific and practi residents; and in destructive ac-
cidental fires, in which e books, cash, deeds, &c., in all the
different Safes in us strong iron ones with drawers, brick
and stone closets, sit double iron doors, fire proof (?) wrought
iron chambered S-afes, &c. &c.—have been burnt to ashes,
Milner's Safes standing beside them in the fire, externally as
red-hot, have done their duty, and brought out the books and
valuables within them uninjured. (See pamphlets of certifi-
cates, &c., to be had as at foot.) 20,000 of Milner's Safes keep
the books, &c., of the above practical men, who know what fire,
iron, and books, are, as well as the conservative powers of
steam, and the difference betwixt burning and boiling com-
bustible materials.
The Patentees caution the Public, that none are genuine but
such as bear the patent plates ; also against delusive tests of
non-conductors in a moist state, or into which means of pro-
ducing moisture, when heated, have been surreptitiously intro-
duced. Without the powerful aid of steam, neutralising 1000
degrees of heat, no presumed bad conductor of heat, in a tho-
roughly dry state, (which it will soon become in a dry office,)
will preserve the contents of a safe unburnt in a strong fire.
CAUTION TO MAKERS AND SELLERS OF SAFES.—
Any means of producing moisture or evaporation within or
round It safe, as securing from fire, infringes these patents, and
will be prosecuted.

COURT AND FASHION.

Her Majesty returned to t 41,
own from Windsor on
Wednesday afternoon. On Sunday, she attended divine
service in the private chapel of the palace, and the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury preached.
Wednesday was the birthday of the Princess Alice, on
which occasion her Majesty gave a juvenile party, at which
Robert Houdin had the honour of performing. Her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert went in the evening to the Lyceum
Theatre.

HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING-ROOM.—The Queen held
a drawing-room (the second this season) on Thursday, in
St. James's Palace. Her Majesty and Prince Albert ar-
rived from Buckingham Palace at two o'clock, attended
by the royal suite, and escorted by a detachment of the
Royal Horse Guards. The Queen wore a pink and silver-
watered train, trimmed with pink satin ribbons, silver
cord, and bouquets of daisies, pink and white, orna-
mented with diamonds. The petticoat was of white satin,
trimmed with old lace. Her Majesty's head-dress was
formed of a wreath of daisies (to correspond with the
dress), diamonds, and feathers. Both the train and the
petticoat were of British manufacture. We may here ob-
serve that it was universally admired for its chaste and
beautiful effect. The adoption of the " modest daisy" as
the leading ornament was especially remarked, and may
be quoted as an instance of her Majesty's refined and ex-
quisite taste.

The Duchess of Gloucester entered upon her 74th year,
on Wednesday.
The whole story of the arrest of the Count de Monte-
molin, on the Spanish frontier, of his previous progress
and subsequent transmission back to England, turns out
to be a clever fabrication. The couut, it appears, has
never been out of London.
