WARWICKSHIRE. The London and Birmingham Railway Bill has been thrown out by the Lords' Committee. It was stated on Thursday to the House, by Lord Wharn cliffe, that it did not appear to the Committee that the petitioners had made out a sufficient case to entitle them to call upon Parliament to authorise the carrying of the railway through the lands it was proposed to take it, and therefore, that the Commit. tee had not thought it right to proceed farther. WESTMORELAND, As some workmen were lately employed in cutting drains in a field, the property of Matthew Ewbank, Esq. of Rampson, on Stainmore, in Westmoreland, they found several human skeletons. They were about five feet below the surface. It is supposed they have been embedded in the peat moss there for upwards of 500 years, indeed ever since the year 1288, when Sir William Wallace was encamped near the place with the Scottish army on coming in sight of the English forces of Edward the First. IRELAND. We regret to state the news from Ireland is of the most lamentable description, both with reference to the internal policy of that unhappy country, and its commercial relations with the sister kingdom, The attempts to arrange the tithe system of that country have as yet produced very miserable effects; but we hope the Government, aided by the power. ful influence of the landed interest of Ireland, will adopt such measures as will effectually prevent consequences too much to be dreaded. [THE HARVEST.- Accounts from all parts of the country of the wheat and barley crops are very gra tifying.] COMMERCIAL AND MONEY-MARKET REPORT. The state of trade, though it has shown some signs of improvement lately, has not advanced in a degree commensurate with the expectations that were entertained of the effects that would be consequent upon the subsiding of the agitations attendant upon the discussions on the Reform Bill. The demand for manufactures for the American market, which existed to a considerable extent during the latter part of the last year, had the not unusual effect of exciting a degree of activity in certain departments, which not only overstocked the warehouses on the other side of the Atlantic, but has led to an accumulation of goods here beyond the more limited demand of the present season. The depression resulting from this cause is principally felt at Leeds and Birmingham. Although there is now little doubt entertained as to the New Customs' Duties Bill passing the House in the form in which it was sent up by the committee, still the want of absolute certainty on that point gives a character of anxiety and hesitation to the branches of trade immediately subject to its operations, which those engaged in them feel to be attended with much inconvenience. At the commencement of July, the low state of the stock of British Muscovado Sugars made the holders tenacious for an advance in price; but the arrivals in the early part of the month being considerable, the prices have given way from 1s. to 1s. 6d. per cwt., notwithstanding there is a defi ciency in the stock on hand, as compared with the corresponding date of last year, of between 13,000 and 14,000 casks. In Mauritius, the deficiency is nearly 70,000 bags. In the home trade, the grocers are merely purchasing for their immediate wants; and in the export trade there is absolutely nothing doing. It is said that some of the refiners entertain serious intentions of reducing the extent of their operations, if not of closing their manufactories altogether, the present prices affording so very inadequate a remuneration. Rather better prices were obtained last week for Mauritius, 4216 bags of which went off by public sale; low brown at 51s. to 51s. 6d. ; middling yellow strong, 52s. 6d. to 53s. 6d. ; and fine, to 55s. Since that time, 3223 bags, offered by public auction, met with purchasers for only a small part, and at a reduction of 6d. to 1s. In East India Sugars, Siams have brought-good white, 26s. 6d. to 27s.; middling and inferior, 25s. to 268.; Manillas, 258. to 25s. 6d. In Foreign Sugars there have lately been no sales reported. Last average price of Sugar, £1. 8s. 84d. The Coffee Market is in a state of languor com. pared with the firmness and activity manifested a month ago: this is in some degree attributable to the unsettled state of affairs in Holland and Belgium, which checks mercantile speculation. British Plantation has fallen 2s, and upwards; and Foreign and East India, from 1s. to 1s. 6d. Good to fine ordinary Jamaica and Dominica may be quoted at 79s. to 81s.; fine ordinary Brazil, 61s. to 62s.; middling, 60s.; Samarang, 56s. 6d. to 57s. 6d. ; ordinary brown Sumatra, 55s. to 55s. 6d. In the Liverpool Market, a cargo of St. Domingo has been sold (afloat), for delivery at a port on the Continent, at 61s. The demand for Cotton Wool is by no means brisk, and prices remain with little or no alteration. By private sale, 200 bales Surat brought 44d. to 5d.; 100 Bengal, 4 d. to 5d.; 100 Bowed, 54d, to 6d. ; and 20 Pernams, 94d. By public sale, 1530 bales Surat were sold at 44d. to 41d.; and 1000 Madras, at 44d. to 4 d. The East India Company's sale of Indigo commenced on the 10th, and terminated on the 19th ult. Of the total quantity declared (7419 chests), 729 chests were withdrawn; the short time during which they were on show, rendering it utterly impossible for the brokers to give them the requisite examination: this has been a subject of just complaint with respect to the Company's sales generally. The sale of the Company's goods, amounting to 1952 chests, commenced heavily; the good and fine qualities bringing from 3d. to 4d. lower than the prices of the last sale; no alteration in the middling qualities; and the ordinary (of which there was but a very small quantity) at an advance of about 3d. The Spirit Market has remained tolerably firm, but without an advance in price. Brandy, for home consumption, has been more in demand since the renewed reports of the prevalence of cholera. The Government contract for Rum (100,000 galls.) was taken, during the last month, at 1s. 6d. for 5 per cent. under proof. Seventy-one chests of fine Honduras Cochineal brought, by public sale, 3d. per lb. below former prices. Fine quality silver produced 7s. 4d. to 7s. 7d.; good ditto, 6s. 10d. to 7s. 2d. ; and ordinary, 6s. 6d. to 6s. Ed.; 2 bags of fine original black were sold at 8s. 9d. The public sale of Cinnamon on the 16th ult. went off at an advance of 6d. per lb. on the first sort, and of 3d. on the third sort; the second sort brought comparatively lower prices. 1500 oz. of Oil Cinnamon at 8s. 3d. to 8s. 10d. There has been some demand for Nutmegs on speculation, and a consequent rise of about 1d. per lb. Pimento has also been improving. In Spices generally the market is dull, without alteration in price. The Oil Market is firm at the late advances, and with a disposition to a further rise. Olive and Linseed Oils are in demand, for exportation. 280 tuns South Seal brought, by public auction, £25. to £26. 15s, per tun. In Tallow, Hemp, and Flax, there is little alteration; except that the former may be quoted about 6d. lower. Ashes, Saltpetre, and Turpentine are held firmly as former quotations. The continuance of fine weather, and the very favourable accounts of the state of the crops, has caused the trade in all descriptions of grain to be exceedingly dull; a further decline of 2s. per quarter may be noted in Wheat of all qualities; and from 1s. to 28. in Barley; the holders of Oats are less disposed to give way in price. In Foreign Wheat there is nothing doing; the near approach of the harvest in France, and the stock she has warehoused, have put a stop to exportation to that country; and the only demand the holder can at present look forward to is for what may be required to mix with our own new Wheats. The reports are less favourable as to Beans and Peas; and the factors hold them firmly, with the expectation of a rise. Some samples of new White Peas have been offered; they were clean and dry, but small; 40s. was asked, but they remain unsold. The general character of the Money Market during the month has been languid, and with a depression of about a half per cent. in the price of Consols. There has been some fluctuation in Portuguese Stock, according to the various reports of the progress of Don Pedro's expedition. Belgian and Dutch Stock are heavy, and declining in price, from the protraction of the conferences, and the apprehension of hostilities being renewed. The closing prices of the several Public Securities, on the 24th ult., were as follow: ENGLISH FUNDS. Three eper Cent. Consols, 82 three-fourths. -Three per Cent. Consols for the Account, 82 seven-eighths, 83. Three per Cent. Reduced, 83 one-eighth, quarter. Three and a Half per Cent. Reduced, 91 quarter, three-eighths.

July 23. Lord Melbourne moved the second reading of the Reform Bill (Ireland), observing that, after the extended discussions on the question of Reform, details from him in support of the present motion were not requisite.-The Duke of Wellington complained that this Bill gave too much power to the Roman Catholic voters-that it did not adopt the principle of the great measure of 1829, that of diminishing the undue influence of the Irish Priesthood. He also found fault with the manner in which freemen were treated by the Bill. He should negative the motion. The Marquis of Clanricarde supported the Bill.-Lord Limerick opposed the Bill, as calculated to destroy the Legislative Union, and the effects of the great measure of 1829.-Lord Plunkett contended that it would have a precisely contrary effect; that to withhold Sept.-VOL. XXXVI. NO. CXXXIX. Reform would be the way to effect dis union.-The Bill was read a second time. July 26. The Lord Chancellor, in presenting a petition for an alteration of the law affecting debtors and creditors, adverted to the appointment of his relative to the situations in the Court of Chancery, which had been the subject of remarks in the other House remarks made, he doubted not, in the sincere desire to obtain information; and he declared that he had implicit confidence in the individual, who would quit the situations if Parliament should think it right to alter or abolish them, without laying any claim to vested interests. -Lord Eldon, Earl Grey, and the Duke of Wellington, defended the course that had been adopted by the Lord Chancellor.-The Learned Lord afterwards said, that, when the Bill was brought in for adjusting the Salary of the Lord Chancellor, it would be seen 2 z 378 that it was not incompatible with the office of Chancellor to have its duties performed at a much lower rate than was now paid.-The Irish Reform Bill afterwards engaged the attention of their Lordships. Previously to the House resolving into Committee on it, there was opposition to the Bill from the Duke of Cumberland, Lords Wynford, Roden, &c., but no division took place. The schedules were annexed to the Bill, and the House resumed. The Bill was reported to the House with its amendments. July 27. The Irish Reform Bill passed through the Committee, Ministers having consented to the introduction of a clause to prevent the making of fraudu. lent freehold voters; and another, placing the freemen of Ireland, with respect to elective rights, upon an equality with those of England. The Report was received. July 30. On the motion of Lord Melbourne, the Reform Bill (Ireland) was One read a third time and passed. amendment only was moved by Lord Roden, that the original oath be in the new Bill, which was negatived on a division by 36 to 24-The Russian Dutch Loan Bill was read a second time. July 31. The Customs Bill was read a second time.-The Irish Boundaries Bill went through Committee. August 1. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to several Bills.-On the question that the Russian Dutch Loan Bill be read a third time, Lord Wynford said, he had intended to have offered some observations in reply to the speech delivered by the Lord Chancellor on a former evening; but as his Noble and Learned Friend was not present, and seeing the manner in which he was likely to be supported (there was not a single Peer on the Opposition benches beside the Noble and Learned Lord), he thought it advisable not to trouble their Lordships. -The Bill was then read a third time and passed. August 2. The Lord Chancellor brought in a Bill to do away with the offices of Clerk of the Hanaper, the Clerk of the Subpoena Office, the Registrar of Affida vits, the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, the Clerk of the Patents, and the Clerk of the Custos, after the lives of such of their present possessors as had held their offices prior to the 1st of June last.After a few remarks from the Duke of Wellington, the Bill was read a first time. August 3. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Russian-Dutch Loan Bill, the Customs' Bill, and the Irish Poor Removal Bill. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of Shaftesbury. The Lord Chancellor moved the second reading of the Bill for the Abolition of certain Offices in Chancery, and also for returns of all the Salaries derived from these offices.-Agreed to. August 6. The Bishop of London presented the Report of the Commissioners for Building New Churches; and in so doing, he adverted to the advantages that had resulted from the Commissioners' labours. By these efforts 250,000 persons were provided with opportunities of attending places of worship who were before without such accommodation. Their Lordships, on the motion of Lord Melbourne, agreed to the Amendment made by the Commons to the Irish Reform Bill. August 7. The Chancery Offices Abolition Bill came under discussion, and was opposed by Lord Wynford, who wished to see a full inquiry adopted by Parliament before they were called upon to legislate on the subject.-The Lord Chancellor contended, that the Bill had been fully considered, and expressed a hope that their Lordships would permit it to be read a third time, and passed.-The Earl of Eldon thought it unsafe to make an extensive and sudden change in the mode of administering justice, and hoped the present Chancellor would consider well whatever alterations he might propose.-The Lord Chancellor having expressed his determination to do so, the Bill was read a third time, and passed. August 9. The Irish Tithe Bill was read a second time. August 10. On the motion of the Lord Chancellor, the Bill Abolishing the Punishment of Death for Forgery was read a second time. August 13.
