Adultfib^Tion Food, &C.—The Committee Of...
ADULTfiB ^ TioN Food , & c . —The committee of inquiry into this subject met again on Wednesday , when Mr . "Wakley ( tlie Middlesex coroner , and proprietor of the Lancet ) , Mr . Jacob Bell ( chemist , and late member fjr St . Alban's ) , and Dr . Carpenter ( examiner of physiology at the University of London ) , gave evidence . Mr . Wakley said he believed that legislation on tho subject was absolutely necessary , or the investigations which had been prosecuted , and the publicity given to the various tricks of the trade , would only have -he effect of increasing the evil by showing dishonest persons how to deceive . This was proved , by the fact that adulterations had increased after the publication of Mr . Ackerman ' s work , entitled " Death in the Pot . " He ( Mr . Wakley ) proposed , as the only remedy , a sysbem of giving the widest publicity to the names of dishonest dealers .
He thought lie could put down adulteration in London and the suvburbs . for £ 10 , 000 . Three or four examiners and six purchasers would be quite sufficient . —Mr . Jacob Bell agreed for the most part with what had been said with respect to drugs , "but thought there had been a little exaggeration . Matters -were better than they had been ; but the evil would never be entirely suppressed while ignorant and unqualified persons are jiermitted to set up as chemists . —Dr . Carpenter had no doubt of the existence of a large amount of most injurious adulteration ; but , with regard to tlie examinations made by Dr . Hassall , he thought it was impossible , from the number of his ¦ analyses , tlat they could all have been made with sufficient 'accuracy . The number . published iu a week would have occupied more than half-a-dozen gentlemen . " . ¦
Testimonial to Mr . Schalxehn . —A . testimonial of plate , subscribed by Sir Joseph Paxton and the season-ticket holders of the Crystal Palace , has been given to Mi * . Henry Schallehn , in acknowledgement of his original formation and management of the Crystal Palace Band .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Lond...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . London , Friday Evening , April 4 , 1856 . The signing the Peace declaration had been so fully anticipated , that the English Funds have improved but slightly . In the Foreign , stocks there has been considerable business done , particularly in Turkish Sixand-a-Half and Four-an da-Half , Spanish Deferred , Passive , and Certificates—Mexican —all at advanced prices , lleavy Shares have talcen a considerable rise , and if wehave an easier money ^ market there is room for a 105 rise before the autumn in good lines . French Railways keep up the enormous rates paid for continuation in Paris , asserted to be 20 to 25 per cent ., showing the account to be purely speculative , frightens our bulls , and keeps them from increasing the operations . Belgian lines command attention . Luxembourg . Sambre and Meuse , Antwerp and Rotterdam , Dutch Kittenish , West Flanders , Belgian Eastern Junction , & c , have been extensively dealt in . Yesterday and the day be . ' ore there was a . retroga . de action , from the speculators realising their profits , and perhaps with' the intention of being prepared for the April Consols account , which is close at hand . The contango , is heavy , 4 per cent . The Bank lias taken off none of its restrictions , and , unless we have an immense increase of bullion , it will be hard to get consols much higher than the present price , 93 . This is presuming we shall want a new ten million loan , before midsummer . Consols at four o ' clock were 93 g ; Turkish Sixand-a-Half , 102 . 1 ; New ditto , 1013 . 2-4-.

CORN MARKET . Mark-lane , Friday , April 4 , 185 G . The arrivals of wheat and barley since Monday havebeen trifling and of onts moderate . The little Engll-h wheat on sale is purchased readily , and there is a fair consumptive demand for Foreign at former 1 sites . There arc very few cargoes now on the Coast . Barley is in request bnt prices are unaltered . Oats meet a dull sale , and have declined in value . It seems , from the report of the inspector of corn returns , that the deliveries of wheat from the 1 st October to the 31 st March last , are this year iu excess of tho former by 100 , 0 ( 0 quarters , nnd of burley l ) y upwards of 2 ^ 0 , 000 . In other grain there is no material diflereuoe .

These Pills cure Bile , Indigestion , disorders of the Liver , complaints of the Stomach , Spasraa , diseases of tho chest , and other internal irregularities .
