Mr. CANNING considered our silk trade with Bengal
which lately increased so much, of such consequence,
that he wished to see the protection continued.
Mr. WILSON, though friendly to the principle of the
Bil: was yet satisfied that it would be better for the pre-
sent not to press it.

Mr. ANSON and Mr. EOSRTON SSW U 0 reason wl.at-
ever for altering the present law.
Mr. DICKENSON concurred in the wish of the last
speaker.
Mr. RICARDO said, it could not be true that it would
be a bad thing to take off the duties for protecting ma-
nufacture, and also true that they were prejudicial to
the agricultural interests of the country. He should
vote for the Bill.

Sir T. LETHBRIDGE spoke in favour of protecting
Deties. He thought the doctrines of the Hon. Member
for Portarlington (Mr. Ricardo) were most visionary
and ahsurd:—(l laugh.)
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the third reading. 47—For the Amendment. 33
Majority, 9.

SCOARII.—As might have been •epected. Sneers are
very fiat, and it being very near fresh ituportations.
it will require strong buyers to keep tip the present
prices. It is calculated that the number of persona
discharged at the West India Docks and by the Sugar
Brokers, is consequence of the bad st de of the Sow
trade, is not less than 1,200. 4n the market yester-
day morning, British Plantation Sugar was more list
then foreign, sad there was scarcely soy demand fur
refined goods.
horror.—Thin market is very languid, bat the
prices are not altered.
f ta.—The prices of Tea are likely to return nearly
to their old standard in a few days. The increase of
price. however, is to inconsiderabie, compared with'
the duty, that the difference is not felt by the cousorner.
BALTIC Paw:tem—Nothing has !pen done in Hemp
or Flax. A few casks of Y. C. Tallow were sold yes-
terday as low as 345. 6d.
0113.—The Oil market contiwre in a most de.
pressed state. The last private sale a nounted to 12
sank which were sold at 15s. under the previous
BIAINDICII. Rums, and Win cs.—lfrandies are very
dull, the Guest samples bring only as 4J. to 3s. SI.
per gallon. Rums are 2d. to 3d. lower, and scarcely
any sales. In Wines there is nulling doing.
Biog.—There have been no sales lately to regulate
the market, which is rather more steady.
Hors.—The trade has been heavy fur the last few
days, bat the holders remain firm.

On Monday last, a person of the name of Simpson,
65 years of age, started at three o'clock in the after-
noon to walk 96 miles in 24 hours, so the low part of
our race course. He continued walking till six
o'clock the next tnoroin,.:, when, as he was going down
his 64th mile, he suddenly fe!l down and was obliged
to be borne from the ground. Various causes
ha►e been assigned for this unexpected result, and
some ungenerous imputations have been in circulation.
but it seems most probable that he nes seized with
indisposition from having neglected to protect bitnself
with flannel cloathing. He has since _continued ex-
tremely ill, and is not yet, we are sorry to add, out of
danger. After his failure, another person started at
twelve, to walk 40 miles in 10 hones, which he ac-

compliahed within the time. A wretch, who, daring
the afternoon, made an indecent exposure of his person
is running a mile without his climate, has since been
lodged in the house of correction.--(Neweasile Chro-
nicle.)
Wanwicx, JUNI I.—Os Tuesday night, a stranger
(it is said from Aleester,) was enticed by a female into
a boaes of ill fame, in London Prentice-street, Bir-
mingham, and robbed of what money be had about
him. On his endeavouring to recover his property,
the girl called In several risen who appeared to be her
bullies; they immediately knocked him claws, beat
him in a most outrageous manner, struck hint on the
head and stomach with a poker, jumped upon him, at-
tempted to strangle hint, and nearly killed him. The
stranger made great resistance, but he was overpow-
ered. The whole neighbourhood was alarmed by this
dreadful affray, and the cries of murder. The police
officers arrived soon after, and took the girl Into cue-
body, and are in active pursuit of the men. The unfor-
tunate stranger now lies in a public-hung, in London
'Prentice-street, without the least hopes of a eLovery.

We understand that in eonsequ;ner of the ;ethic-

Lion in the price of Malt, Mr. CIII•PMAN, of the Bag-
nigge Wells Brewery has determined to make bis Ale,
Table Ale, and Table Beer of such stierior quality as
will enable him to defy all competition. When we con-
sider the importance to families of possessing a beverage
free from the noxious ingredients usually employed in
the composition of that necessary- article, we cannot
be surprised at the extensive patronage he so deserv-
edly enjoys. Such patronage we hope will always
be given to meritorious individuals who prefer a mall
profit and fair name to the risk of destroying the health
of their fellow-creatures by a wicked and unfeeling cu-
pidity. To satisfy the most fastidious as to the genuine.
ness of his articles, Mr. CUAPAIAN wakes half-yearly the
following affidavit.

" Iticn•aD C N, of Hartigan Wells Areweq, Al.,
Table Ale, and Table Beer Brewer, maketh oath and saida
that his Ala, Table Me, and Table Brer, are brewed from
Malt and Ho pa only, and that he never Itai, nor ever will
permit or suffer any drugs or other injurious liixredreets
used in his brewery. " R. f.;
