DOMESTIC. Prince Talleyrand will shortly terminate his diplomatic labours in this country. Mr. Dant sagely observed on Tuesday night, respecting the stupid ballad which Mr. Stanley lugged in as a powerful argument for the tyrannical biil of ministers, that it would have been more to the purpose if the riyht hon. Secretary had sung it, instead of reciting it to the House. We think so too; the members would have been amused, if not edi- fied. It was a. doggret piece of reasoning, fit only for an assembly of old women, and a bushel of such arguments might be had for an old song." A very important article has been announced for sale in the Standard, namely," half of thepropnety of a respectable Provincial Tory Paper." We would thank Manners Sutton, or somebody else, to take care that the resolutions of the House be worded so as to be comprehensible. On Tuesday night, the Members resolved that no Member, having been present at prayers, shall be allowed to keep any place for himself unless he shail be present, and shall attend the service of the House during the ballot." We want to know how the deuce a Member can keep a place for himself, if he is not present. He may, to be sure, get some one to keep it for him, and this probably is what the House wished to guard against, only they are much too clever to speak plainly. Count Pozzo di Borgo took his final departure on Thurs- day morning. Just before going, he was accosted by a certain protocol-maker, who,taking the Count by the button with a mysterious air, begged as a favour he would tell him what it was he came to this country about after all. Upon my life," said Pozzy, I should be glad to oblige you, but devil take me if I know myself!" in saying which the Count took his leave. ,¡ THE MEMBER FOR CORK AND THE FRENCH POLICE.— The Quotidienne Paris paper of Saturday last, in announc- ing that it was seized the day preceding, states that the cause of the seizure, as set forth in the warrant, was the in- sertion of Dr. Baldwin's speech in the House of Com- mons HUGE AND EXPENSIVE HOG.—Mr. James Middleton, publican, of Church-street, Sculcoates, has now in his pos- session a hog of the following extraordinary dimensions :— Height, 3 feet 6 inches; length, from snout to tail end, 9 feet 4 inches; girth, 6 feet 10 inches; breadth, across the shoulders, 22 inches. The above pig was bred by Mr. M. and is only 18 months old. Its weight, on Wednesday week, was 54 stone 6 pounds, and its weekly consumption of food is 12 stone of barley-meal, besides potatoes, &c. It therefore costs, at a moderate computation, fourteen shillings a week for board.- York Courant. EXECUTION OF JAMES JACKMAN AND JOHN REDMOND.— On Monday, at one o'clock, the above unfortunate men un- derwent the extreme sentence of the law, for the murder of the Maddoxes. Redmond acknowledged his guilt, whilst Jackman appealed to heaven for his innocence. The bodies were cut down and delivered to the County Infirmary for dissection. The crowd of spectators was unprecedented, and the effect produced on them will no doubt be salutary. Nicholas Jackman, who had also been sentenced to die along with the two others, has been respited until the 25th of this month, when, It is supposed, he will be wholly libe- rated. Redmond bore testimony to his innocence, and the general impression is that he was wholly unconnected with the murder for which he was condemned.— Wexford Freeman. UNION HALL.—THE SUPPRESSION OF DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND Bi LL.-Yest.ei-day, among the Irish applicants for relief, was a man named Cooney, who wanted the Over- seers of Newington to allow him a few shillings a week, as he had six motherless children. The Overseer said the pa- rish had no objection to send him and them over to Ireland. Cooney replied that he had been twenty years in England, loved freedom as much as Englishmen, and did not wish to go to Ireland, where he would be liable to be dragged out of his warm nest at night, by a set of fellows dressed in a little brief authority. The Magistrates told him if he did not choose to accept the offer, he must shift for himself. Lord Ellenborough is said to be about to unite himself with the daughter of a Noble Lord, in Wales—a young lady. The officers of the Militia have been much on the qui vive from the circumstance of his Majesty having determined by iot, on Thursday week, the order in which the several regi- ments of the English, Welsh* and Scotch Militia are to rank, in the event ot their being called out for service. This ar- rangement took place in the presence of a considerable number of the Lords Lieutenant of counties, and is consi- dered to indicate the possibility of some part of the Consti- tutional force of the country being required for active du- tie, Service Gazette. EXTENSIVE BANKRUPTCY.— The affairs of Messrs. Wyatt and Thompson, the ale breweis, in Portpool-lane, Cletkenwell, cause before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, at the audit of the accounts. The house failed about a year and a half ago. The debts due by the bankrupts amount to about £ 100,000. The brewery has been carried on by the assignees sinre the commission was issued. The assets, including the sum expected to be received from the sale of the brewery, are expected to amount to. 130,000. Mr. Wyatt, the bankrupt's father, carried on the brewery many years, where he realised a fortune of £ 300,000. lie was originally a drayman. On Monday night Mr. Faithful (of Brighton) gave notice, that on the 16th of April he should move the following re- solution That the Church of England, as by law esta- blished, is not recommended by practical utility; that its revenues have always been subject to legislative enactments; and that the greater part, if not the whole, of those revenues, ought to be appropriated to the relief of the nation We are enabled to state, from undoubted authority, that Mr. Charles Grant intends submitting to Parliament, before the Easter recess, a series of resolutions, expressive of the views and intentions of Ministers with regard to the East India question In the Bill which is afterwards to be brought in, Government proposes to throw open the trade to India—to allow Europeans to settle in any part of the intenor of the country-to extend the liberty of the press, and to assimilate, as far as practicable, the political institu- tions of the country to those of Great Britain. It is unne- cessary to add, that the power at present possessed by the Governor-General, of sending back to Europe those who are in the displeasure of the Government, is to be abolished. The Government is still to be vested in the hands of the company; but the power of that hitherto all but omnipo- tent body will be so much abridged as to divest it of much of its present importance. Indeed, we know for certain, that in anticipation of the changes about to take place, the company are already contemplating very sweeping reduc- tion in their vast establishment.— Sun. It was decided, at the Castle of Exeter, on Friday last, that persons driving coaches or other vehicles on the ptfblic roads, and stopping near turnpike gates, individuals there alighting and paying visits beyond the gate, and returning again to the vehicle, were liable to the toll as if they d'ove on. At the same time it was understood that persons merely riding for an airing on turnpike roads, if no evasion was practised by passing the gate, were not liable to the toll.— Exeter Gazette. A dreadful murder was committed near fleckington, Lin- colnshire, in the broad face of day, on Saturday last. The victim was a collector of hare-skins and rags, named Wii) Burbanks, who, having called at a beer-shop, boasted of having £ 12 in his possession. On his departure he was followed by a man named Taylor, overtaken, and most cru- elly murdered. Taylor has been committed to Lincoln Castle, and has made a confession. HORRIBLE MURDER.—The body of a boy named Robert Paviour, aued 13, was found in the Regent's canal, Regent's Park, on Monday last.. An inquest was held on the body en Wednesday, and the result of the inquiry gave reason to believe that the unfortunate boy had been forcibly dragged away from his home, conveyed to some infamtfus receptacle for the basest of purposes, and subsequently murdered to prevent a disclosure of the facts. The jury returned a ver- dict of wilful murder against Frederick Marshal, George Evans, and William Taylor, who have been committed to prison. Lord Durham has for some time been in a very weak state of health, and his friends have more than once felt serious doubts about his recovery. His lordship has there- fore felt it a duly to resign his seat in the Cabinet, on ac- count of his inability to transact the business of a responsible adviser of the Crown. Earl Grey, with great regret, yielded to the reasons of his noble relation and colleague, and yes- terday laid the resignation before his Majesty, by whom it was accepted. We sincerely hope that Lord Durham may find the repose of private life beneficial lo his health. The country loses one of the soundest and most decisive under- standings ever employed in public affairs.— Times, Thurs- day- It is said that the parties who have been promoting the collection of a penny subscription" for Lord Ebnngton, as a token of political gratitude, are so offended at the vote his lordship gave in support of Ministers, against Mr. Hume's motion for the abolition of naval and military sine- cures, that they are about to return the pence" to the dif- ferent contributors ?—Plymouth Paper.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK LANE, WEDNKSDAY, MARCH 13- The little fine wheat left over from Monday was readily disposed of on the tennsof that day, having no fresh arrivals this morning. One or two vesseis from the Suffolk coast got in to-day, chiefly with bailey and rather higher prices were asked for the finest malting samples, which the maltsters would not comply with, and towards the end of the market they were cleared off* at Monday's prices. Stained samples were held at 24s to 25s, but the distil- lers were not disposed to purchase at these prices. Oats continue exceedingly dull sale, and to get off a quantity lower terms would have been taken. In beans, peas, and other articles there is no alteration.
