By Senor DoN A1k11.1.110 nn l• %silt°. ranalatcdfrorn the original Spanish, by 1 . 11.04A.4 _ . The name of De Castro is one of unusual distinc tion in modern Spanish literature, the present writer being the fifth of the name that we have become ac quainted with. This is apparently his first book, and a highly interesting and most creditable per formance it to every respect. It is a pleasing sign of the times to perceive historical research making way even in such a country as Spain; and still more grutifyingto find the areuna of political statecraft and iselesiastleal persecution so frankly and fearlessly dealt with as they are in this remarkable volume. The appearance of publications of this class in such a stronghold of exclusiveness and over weening national pride as Spain, is a greater sign of 11 ogress than hall-a-dozen revolutions. In Sp ttn, ahoy; all countries, the spread of a taste for histonail studies nand be regarded as pregnant with impor tant emesequences. It shews that the barriers of ig mutants. and mil-conceit, which have so long isoluted that country froth the rest of Europe, are begin ning to be effectually broken down. To the Eug,lish reader, indeed, Senor de Castro's work will appear studiously moderate, or we might say, timid in tom.. But it must be remembered that it was written for a public which is a couple of cen turies behind our own, in all that constitutes true liberty and enlightenment ; and what would appear mist gratuitous cowardice in England may easily enough Is• el makable courage in Spain. To uplift one's voice in t scour of protestaintism at all. still more to become the biographer of the martyrs of that per- PUa•itill. w ho. in Spain as in other countries, sealed their faith aid: their blood, is an undertaking which damn& frau' a spennurel, ewe' of the present day, noonlinnr amount or resolution. And we should be by no 1111'411P surprised to hear that Senor de l'astro has been. in one way or another, made to pay the penalty of his rash lint laudable enterprise. That it is both a dangerous and an unpopular one is mani fest from the caution with which Instotical as well as religious topic , are treated. Compiling what we cannot heater characterise than as a Spanish supplement to *. Fox's Book of Martyrs," the author nowhere pro fess., I' all u protestant. And the slow and gradual nay in which he unmasks the character of slums how haughty and sensitive are the public shone he has undertaken to disabuse of a portion of the inveterate pride and prejudice which thee nouri.le on all subjects affecting their church or their c.imetry. the the a bole. however, though the English reader will occa-ion..llv desiderate a little more warmth and iniliguation'when chronicling such atrocities, we should sac that the book nether gains than loses by this studied moderation both in tune and opinions. It certainly gains in dignity and impressiveness; sail it is lastly hitter adapted to make its way with the author's countrymen, than if he had betrayed at the outset a sectarian bias, which would leave re volted theca, before they had time to make acquaint , ann. aith the sad and emueguivary events of which he is the historian. The ground gene over in the leresent volume is ne cesseeril :nude the same as in M'Crie's History of the Reformation in Spain," a work which possibly atterested Senior de Castro's undertaking, and to which he gives due credit for learning and ability. His advantage over the Scottish historian consists in his collimated of a variety of documents in print and hs en enuscript. to which access could be had only in Slain. especially the publications of the Spanish reformers themselves. which are exceedingly rare in consequence of the pains taken to destroy them by the Inquisition. The most remarkable result ob tained lly Senor de Castro's researches, and the fea ture in his work for which he claims the greatest credit. is the new light he has been enabled to throw on the history of 1/on Carlos. But unfortu ntely th e quest i on as to the protestantism of that ill-fated prince remains in much the same obscurity as before. His leasing been tainted by heretical opt towee ' would aid certainly in accounting for his fathers malignity towards him ; but otherwise there seems to be no proof of the fact ; and our own opi nion is, that his tolerant views as to the treatment of the Flemish provinces were misconstrued into a bias towards protestant doctrines. The inference re lied on by Senor de Castro and others, that if he had remains[ catholic he must have shared his father's extras aped bigotry, is of the lamest. Don Carlos did no inure than follow the usual course of heirs apparent when he disapproved his father's tyranny ; and his sympathies with Aragon are not Leo marked than those with Flanders. It would be an interesting fact, certainly, if it could be established that Don Carlos was really a Protestant. It would be a new eumple how the results of religious movements, beyond a= depend on t h e predilections of theerogn• Queen Mary of En g l an d lived, and P hilip U. did, and I)on Can't, a p rotesta nt in asset, MIN" ell the throne of almost hue iimaad42,,ihemaribl land might al tabs tart' of the last tbs.. . LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 24, 1851. crease of their own power to urge on the contest, but for very different causes. The want of political pretexts was not the only impedi ment to civil wars in Spain, for there existed more powerful I causes why tha dams of Cavil discord did not break out in I the heart of our country. The adventurous portion of the community, ever ready to risk life for gain of property, had set out from Spain in quest of riches. America, Flanders, and Italy were objects of covetousness to these men. A desire to live with greater liberty, and an insatiable thirst for gold, had made them ab radon their houses and families. Many of those persons, therefore, who, in rebellions, are ready to listen to the voice of the conspirators, and to follow, sword in hand, the blind adherents of the ambitious and the turbulent, found them selves absent from Spain. For this reason, also, there was a failure of interior disturbances and civil wars in Castile. Besides this, the low people in Spain bad never readily lent their ears to new doctrines—they bad never been friendly to inquiry in matters of religion—never allowed themselves to be dragged away by opinions contrary to those which, in the years of childhood, they had learned from the mouths of their parents or superiors. It was all these things put together which operated as an impediment to civil dis sensions in Spain, and not Philip 11, with the holy office at his disposal. It is a want of knowledge of the sixteenth century, to persuade one's self that with seventy or eighty examples of punishment made by the inquisitors on the persons of a few protestants, the interior peace of our country was secured. If political pretexts, if adventurers, if attachment to new religious opinions had not been wanting in Spain, the flame of civil war would have blared in the heart of those king doms, in spite of Philip and the Holy Office, in the same way that, in !spite of the intolerance of that monarch, and the executions and burning.; of that barbarous tribunal, the Flemings rebelled against oppression, and maintained their doctrines by force of arms. Much praise is given to Philip by writers who knew nei ther the true religious character nor the political state of Spain in the sixteenth century, under a belief that this king saved us from the horrors and destructions of civil wars. Spain, without civil wars and with the religious unity imposed by Philip 11. towards the seventeenth century, was in as great a state of poverty and ruin as it was in igno rance, and far behind other nations in arts and sciences. But the Same states in which there may have been such depravity, such destruction, and such calamities, in a short time become again flourishing and peaceful, eminent in science and prosperous in commerce and agriculture, the true source and, basis of the vigour and harmony of nations. It will be seen that there is more meant here than the author chooses to express ; perhaps, also, more said in another direction than he strictly meant. But it is only under such conditions, and with such reser vations, that the public, for whom he wrote, will consent to be instructed at all. It is rather a delicate task, teaching a people to see, who for three centuries have taken a pride in being blind. No people on earth are so proud as the Spanish ; and there arc few whom the knowledge of history con tains so much to mortify and gainsay. For them the profound and conscientious study of history implies nothing less than a thorough revolution in many of the most striking characteristics of their social life and national policy. And though it is most desir able that the revolution should take place, there can be no question that the process will be a most pro tracted and painful one. Senor de Castro, at all events, does not want courage to deal with this stubborn people. His com parison of Philip 11. with Nero, is a remarkable in stance of plain speaking, when we look et the public for whom he wntes. It will be found at pages 120 to 125, and is reproduced in several other parts of the volume. Here and in many other places, a stranger would say that it is not, Philip 11. alone, but the genius and policy of the Spanish people, that are denounced. l'hilip is not, like his consort Mary, a solitary example of bigotted cruelty, foreign to the genius of the country which she ruled. He had a thousand predecessors and a thousand imitators. lie was almost a sort of demagogue in his way ; and flattered the blindness and ignorance of his people ; courting them with autos des fe, instead of big speeches or agrarian laws. Ile was an unamiable man, no doubt, and reproduced with intensity the dark side of the national character. But scarce Cromwell or Mirabeau embodied more forcibly the genius of their time and country. We could pro duce a hundred proofs of this. 'But one must suf fice. Philip is best known, and most abhorred—he is, so to speak, popularly gibbetted in literature—for his cruelty to Ins son. Ilut, taking the worst ver sion of die story, how clement does he not appear' compared to the following instance of what Spanish fathers could become: To such an extreme did the ferocity of some catholic. arrive in the de-truetion of Lutherans that one gentleman of Valladolid in 1581 denounced to the holy office his own two daughters as professors of the reformed religion. De sirous of converting them to catholicism, he contrived, through the great confidence the inquisitors hail in his blindness, that both these young creatures should be re moved from the dungeons of the inquisition to the paternal , roof. There the fanatical father, assisted by various of; the clergy and friars, attempted to turn away the minds! of his daughters (ruin what he believed to he erroneous principles. Both, however, were urunoveable in the true protestant faith, and his efforts were abortive. Burning with rage to see that his entreaties were in vain. as well as his tlireatenings and persecutions, he took them back to the inquisition, and informed the judges that both of them still defended reform with the greatest pertinacity.' In fine, on the solicitation of their father, both of these un- ' happy women were condemned to be burnt. This pompous old man, ii.dignant that his blood should be stained by Lu theran principles, and overcome by a fanatical monomania, went to a certain forest on his own estate in search of branches front some of the largest trees, and trunks of smaller ones, and cut them into suitable pieces, in order to kindle the flames which were to devour the bodies of his own children. This bar barous fellow, worthy to have been born among cannibals, then returned to Valladolid with these spoils from his woods, and presented them to the holy Office. The in quisitors praised his greatness of mind, and set him forth, to the patricians and to the pleheians,as an example worthy the imitation of all who would increase and serve that faith which they imagined they were defending by the flames. But the man was not even satisfied with having cut the wood ; for, probably incited by the applause of his friends both secular and ecclesiastic, and with a view of spreading greater consternation through Valladolid, he actually peti tioned to be the niurderer of his own flesh and blood. After becoming his own enemy and throwing his daugh ters into the loathsome cells of the Inquisition, nay, bringing his own wood to construct the burning pile, 1w asked per mission of the inquisitors to set light, with his own hand, in a public auto-do-1;c to that same heap which was to re duce to ashes the delicate frames of these his unhappy girls, unhappier still in having known such a father. The inquisitors who saw in this barbarous wretch a model of slaves, received most graciously his petition; and in order to tpc exaltation of the catholic faith, proclaimed with cymbals and trumpets. not only the inhuman demand, but their permission to comply with it. The two unfortunate girls accordingly perished at Valla dolid in 1181. This, perhaps, exceeds in horror anything recorded in history. One would almost refuse belief to it; but the authority for the fact is one of the noblest and purest of the Spanish reformers, Cyprian de Valera, translator of the Bible into his native tongue, long a resident in this country, and subsequently at Geneva and Amsterdam. Altogether, this is a most valuable and interesting work ; and did our space permit, we could greatly extend our extracts from it, with much gratification to our renders and ourselves. Whoever has a copy of " Fox's Martyrs" ought by all means to procure this volume as a supplement to it.

EXTRAORDINARY CONTEST.—A few evenings ago, the persons employed in Mr. William Sinclair's extensive grain gores, at Sugar Island, in this town (Newry), were. alarmed by the furious barking of dogs and a great noise, proceeding from the lower end of the yard. Oa hurrying to the spot with lights, an extraordinary scene presented it self to their view. Thousands of rats were gathered to gether, on and about a cart, in the bottom of which the tings of some meal bags were lying; and a furious battle was raging between the rats, on the one part, and two little terrier dogs, belonging to Mr. Sinclair, on the eiher. Emboldened by their numbers, the rats firmly main tained their ground ; and though the dogs had killed many of them, they were nearly overpowered when the men came Stheir •ssistance. Even after the arrival of the men and lits, the rats did not retreat ; they held their ground, un beaten away with sticks.

The English stock market has again been very dull all day, and prices have scarcely maintained yesterday's range, the result of the weekly meeting of the Bank Board being looked to by some with a certain amount of uneasiness. The Board,however, has just broken up, and, as we anticipated would be the case, without making any change in the rate of dis count. Business, especially of a speculative nature, has naturally been kept in check by the uncertainty which prevailed ; indeed scarcely a single time bar pin has taken place in Consols to-day. Consols have been stationary all morning at 971 to for money, and 97 , , for the 13th of May. The official report of actual bargains is: Three per Cent. Consols, 971, 4 ; do. for Acct., 97 , Three per Cent. lteduced, New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 'J7I, 98.! Long Annuities, 1860, 71, 5-16; ditto, 30 years, 1859, 7-16, 1. Bank Stock, 2111.

The market for foreign bonds has remained very quiet, with prices well maintained. Mexican Bonds and Spanish Actives have realised rather better prices. The business list of the day comprises only: Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 591; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 90. Mexican Bonds, 1; ditto for the account of 30th April, 351, l'oitaguese Five per Cents. (Brazilian guarantee), $9. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 991. Spa nish Active Five per Cents., for account, 19,1, ; ditto Passive, 31, ; ditto Three per Cents., 391. The receipt of intelligence by the Madrid steamer from Lisbon, which has been pub lished this morning in a second edition of tho Doily News (and which will be found in another column). has not led to any movement in Portuguese Bonds, which have remained very quiet. It will be observed that the Belgian Four-and-a- Half per Cents. which were dealt in yesterday rank 5 per emit. lower than the Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., which are nearly at par. This arises from the strong want of confidence in Belgian admi nistration, on account of their illiberality and injus tice wth regard to the caution monies and conces sions cf the Great Luxembourg, Dendrc Valley, Belgian Eastern Junction, and West Flanders Rail ways, in which so many English shareholders are interested. Business in Bank Shares has been very limited this week, but prices are supported. The sales re ported are :—British North American (501. paid), 431; Union of Australia (25/. paid), 341, 33 ; ditto, (21. 10s. paid), 31; Union of London (10/. paid), 121.

In the market for Steamboat Shares, to which a good deal of attention has of late been directed, there its a decline in Peninsular and Oriental, and a rise in Royal Mail Steam. The prices noted are : General Steam Navigation, 28 ex die. ; Peninsular and Oriental, 66, 67, 65t, 66, 63; ditto, New (5/.

The following letter front Mr. Ahitbol refers to a paint of gre interest to the Mexican bondholders. Tt will be of some benefit if Lord Palmerston has allowed Sir Henry Bulwer to apply to the United States government for the acceptance of the Mexican drafts, but many consider that the committee should have sent some one out by the packet yesterday, as the cost could not have been more than 200/., and time is of value. It was expected Mr. Falconnet would have sent his secretary direct front Mexico to Washington, with the triplicate of the decree. PIER HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDE STERLING MEXICAN DIVIDEND MONET, RECEIVED BY TIIR HIGHT HONOUR ABLE LORD PALIIISIISTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sir,—You will be rendering an important service to the public if you will he pleased to insert in the columns of your valuable jorinal the following explanations relating to this subject. A considerable number of persons interested in the Mt:icon Stork, and more especially those residing in the country, not being precisely informed as to the actual situa tion of this money, and labouring under an impression, from the reports circulated, that the funds in question are not available until 18.51, renders it desirable to bring to their knowledge that the form in which this money is money-613 y an assignment of the Mexican government on the Untied States—is perfectly practicable to be con- Tined into ash within one month, by the medium of nego tiation or discount front 4 to 5 per cent., and that as this money forms a part of the indemnity cl aim due from the American government to Mexico, under a solemn treaty already authorised and ratified by the COMPINIE Red Siesta of the Unite& State., it admits Ono question whatevsraa to requiring any second ratification as to its effective liqui dation. The one month stated is the period it would take to ob tain from thz government of the United States its formal confirmation and acceptance of transferring the said sum of money in farour of the bondholders, or to such house they may so authorise to receive the same in their behalf, by virtue of, and in accordance with, the assignment now in the hands of the noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs. This amount of the 2,600,000 dole. will yield, after de ducting 6 per cent. discount for immediate cash, a dividend of 41. 16e. per cent., and by, the let July next the further dividend of 11. 10s. per cent will be available, kinethei tether 61.65. on every 10W. bond ; on account of the lake 97,0001. is now deposited at the Bank, and the innilleneen = a rils of stay, Jose, end Inky, win arm the MOAN: aupdred. ' ' The expected arrival of Senor Payno, the late Minister of Finance, by the mail of the sth May, will carry into effect the conversion and the dividends. I need scarcely add, that the good faith observed in this honourable conduct of the Mexican government, in the ful filment of its treaty of the settlement of the foreign debt. warrants every confidence in respect of the future _ engagements. I have the honour to be, sir, your very obedient servant, London, April 23, 19.51. M. AlliTllol.. P.S.-It is a matter of no doubt that steps arc now taken by the interference and influence of Lord Palmerston, to obtain, through the British Ambassador in America, the consent or acceptance of the assignment in question. A bill has tossed one branch of the legislature of the state of 'sew York, and will probably soon be come law, providing for the immediate prosecution of the enlargement of the Eric Canal. The amount required to complete the works would be about 8,000,000 dole. As by the provisions of the new constitution no new loans can be created upon a pledge of the faith of the state, without a vote of the I people, it is proposed to issue certificates bearing 6 per cent. interest, secured only by a pledge of the surplus revenues of the canals, set apart according to the constitution for that purpose and involving no responsibility on the part of the state beyond that of faithfully applying the revenues, as they accrue, to the payment of the interest and principal of the certificates thus issued, which the law makes available for deposit with the comp troller as security for bank notes. The amount of the loan required annually will be 2,000,000 dole. The latest quotations of exchange on London at foreign places are as follows: Previous Latest Quotations. Qnotations.

April, 38.. 9d. to 395.; April and May, 38s. 6d. ; lust three months, 395. to 395. 3d. SMITHFIELD HAY MAIIKET.—THIS DAY. Messrs. Cooper and Davis report a heavy trade, at the following quotation. : Prime meadow Hay, ROs. to 00s.; inferior ditto, fsii. to 72.. ; Rowen, 655. to 7th. ; Clover, 739. to 995. ; second cut, 70s. to Wk. ; straw, 265. to 395. eery nearly as ripe for the reformation as England, an' that nothing but the combination of political and ecclesiastical absolutism, wielded by a master of machiavelism like Philip 11., could have put down protestantism in that country, is sufficiently proved by the records in the volume before us. gor ought ' this to surprise us. There is much in the gravity and self-respect of the Spanish character to which protestantism would naturally be more congenial than catholicism. And it is absurd to argue, from their present attachment to the latter, or from their apparent superstitiousness. For these result more' from their want of cultivation than from their na tural character ; and were as rife in England at the time of the reformation as they wcte in Spain. If the reader doubts this, let him read the lively sketches which Erasmus has left of English superstitions. We would except, of course, the Andalusians, who arc in many respects the Irish of the Peninsula. But, we re peat, that the natural bias of the cultivated Spaniard of I the middle or northern provinces is or would be, if the consequence of three centuries of political stag nancy and isolation could bo removed, towards some purified and simplified form of the Christian faith. Nor may . the day he far distant when this tendency will begin to manifest itself as remarkably as it is doing in central and northern Italy. Naples and Andalusia will probably always be catholic; but it seems quite upon the cards th at the rest of the two Peninsulas may become protestant. It is now uni versally understood in Italy how inseparably political progress is connected with protestantism. And the day may come when the papacy may find itself in as antagonistic a position to the political aims of the Spanish people as it is at present to those of the Italians. Meantime it becomes both Spaniards and English men to better their knowledge of one of the least known and most instructive portions of what may be called to a certain extent their common history ; seeing that they were at this time temporarily swayed by the same sanguinary pair, from whom respectively the darkest stains in the history of each country have flowed. The scope and tendency, the chances and capabilities, the future not less than the past of protestantism are imper fectly comprehended, so long as we remain ignorant of the part it has played, or begun to play, in any of the great spheres of European existence. It is too much the fashion, at the present day, even among sincere protestants, to talk as if there were some thing harsh and uncongenial in the pure religion of the gospel, to which the warm passions and wild imagination of southern races could not be reconciled; as if those regions had not been the cradle and home of the Christian religion in its purer days ; or as if protestantism had not strength to combat those idolatrous tendencies, on unrelenting hostility to which, Ilahonietanism based the whole fabric of its religious and political existence. If the educated classes of Spain and Italy were once ripe for Fives tantism, and only prevented from adopting that faith, owing to an examen of the same discouragements which greatly perilled the progress of the reforma tion in Germany and England; if Bohemia and Poland were once for the most part protestant, and only surrendered their convictions after a long and sanguinary struggle, there is the greater hope that when the people of those countries are treed from the domination which crushes them, and left to follow the bent of their natural tendencies, they will revert to that purer faith, which nothing but the combined , influence of Austrian tyranny and Jesuit subtlety (then, as now, leagued against the welfare of the worldly could have made them abandon. Already, Hussite opinions are said to be reviving in Bohemia; and were catholicism not endeared to the Poles by Russian persecution, that least superstitious of all races would probably evince little attachment to a faith which is, if we may credit history, anything but naturally congenial to them. To the . prevulence, at one period, of protestant opinions in Spain, Senor de Castro adduces the ful. lowing testimonies; one of an orthodox, the other of a heretic writer. " In past yearn, Lutheran heretics in greater or less num bers, were wont to be taken and burnt in Spain; but all those that were so punished were foreigners—viz., Germans, Flemings, or Englishmen. At other times people poor and of menu birth, used to he sent to the scaffold, and to have San lknitus in the churches ; but in these later years, we have seen the prisons, the scaffolds, and even the burning pile crowded with illustrious people, and (what is even more to he deplored) persons who in the opinion of the world were greatly superior to others in letters and in virtue . . . .I withhold their names in order not to tarnish with their injured reputation, the fair tame of their de scendants, or even of some illustrious houses to whom this poison attaches. They were such and so many that it was believed if two or three months more hail been suffered to elapse before applying a remedy to this mischief, the con flagration would has', spread itself all over Spain, and brought upon her the most dire misfortunes she has ever seen." While one catholic author wrote in this way touching the Protestants, another, persecuted by the "tribunal of the faith," wrote freely from Amsterdam, his opinion in the following words:— " In Spain, many very li arnesl, many very noble, and many of the most distinguished of the gentry have for this cause been led forth to the scaffold. 'there is sot a city, and done may so speak , there is not a village, nor a ham let, nor a noble house in Spain that has not had, and still has, one or more that God, of his infinite mercy, has en lightened with the light of his gospel. It is a common pro- verb iu Spain in the present day, when speaking of a learned man, to say, ' he is so learned that he is in danger of being a Lutheran.' Our adversaries have done what they could to put out this light of the gospel, and thus they have visited with loss of property, of life, and of honour, very many in Spain. And it is worthy of note, the more they threaten, scourge, eotaanilmstitem, throw into the gal leys, or perpetual imprisonment, or burn, the more they multiply." The greater part of this volume is composed of brief biographical sketches of the most distinguished of the individuals thus persecuted. Some of them are calculated to excite the greatest sympathy and indignation, and the effect is not lessenid by the tone of rigid impartiality which the author's position has led hue to assume. Whatever may be the real bias of his opinions. he writes as an orthodox catholic, and a man of the world, taking a purely secular and historical view of the matter. His narra'ive thus assumes the character of a plea, not for protestantism, but against intolerance. The following passage will serve as a specimen of his manner. The reflections they contain are creditable to his sagacity, and would do honour to an historian of a school and country greatly more advanced than his. In rooting up in the church of God the seeds of reform which had been thrown upon the face of the earth by the leaders of protestantism, there can be no doubt it was in tended to avert those desolations which invariably accom pany civil discords. I hold it to be indisputable, that the religious wars which afflicted Europe with bloodshed, tumults, and rapine, were owing as much to the dexterous policy of princes and magnates, desirous of increasing their power, as to the love of protestantism. Nations at that time did not easily rebel against their sovereigns for exemptions I and liberties, and when they dared to do so, they were at once destroyed. Hence, I infer, that Maurice, Duke of Saxony, and the Landgrave of Hesse , assisted t he tans, and made themselves its champions against JR.= V., more with the inteution of destroying its forcer, 11111111 erutaiHng the dominion of the emperor, than to sustain the defence of the Lutherans ; that the Prince of Orange ha& with his people in the low countries, more with a view of tasking himself lord of those lands than for that liberty of lowswienee so mach desired by . the Flemings ; that the Ids of the Bad of Xurrayin Seedesi esiteised the= Isliesi arms thin tether with a view hp mom thele a HIS than from my . great demdes he sods deetrisee es Male mr which the mewebeats were thedeeMending ; eml as tells Hwimeerha Presee, did My sot lett reil. ries seminally, Mat is reality for end those maw his bessers, against the Deka of Guise / The civil wars, fosomModin so mas pret t m =m, were not, I appreht end, people, ea merely assists Crowds of • to whose beams Me Vim of the sew ddetrlesa led peastrebd. sem mole be ambitious ww te believe that them deaths' scald only be wpwtM by fonse of ems.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 23.—The market for shares con tinues to improve, and a !stir business has been done at rather higher prices.

ESTER, APRIL 23.—We have had an improved tone in the share-market to-day, and there has been a good demand fur shares at improved rates. Leeds Stock were done extensively at 64', and London and North Western shares were a good deal sought, the 100/. stock selling at 1301, 1; and New Quarters, at 31 prem. ; Sheffields, 36 1; North Staffords, 61 ; East Lancashires, 17 11-16 ; Great Northern, 18). Other stocks partook of theimprovement, and the market dom.,' firm. BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 23.—This market was very firm to-day, and rather more active than of late. Midlands were done at 64) ; Shrewsbury and Birmingham A's at 3/, 18s. 9,1. die., B's at 31 dis.; South Eastenui at 28 . Pa ragraphs of an erroneous character on the subject of an offer made by the Great Western Company to the Shrews bury and Birmingham and Cheater Companies, have ap peurial in seine ufthc morning papers; it is proper that these should be corrected. The fact is that a special meeting of the shareholders has been culled for the Bth of May, to eon eider terms offered by the Great Western Company for an amalgamation of it with the Shrewsbury and Birmingham and Chester Companies from Ist of January, 1840, to the same time, 1857 ; and in the meantime for appropriating earnings of the London through traffic to secure to the or dinary shareholders of the two companies above-named a dividend of 3 per cent. fur three or four years, and 4 per cent. for one year; also for the purpose of rescinding or varying certain resolutions passed at the special meeting commencing on the 4th of April. It is understood that the appeal from Lord Cranworth's judgment has been with drawn, and that a new motion on the subject of this dispute is (at the instance of a shareholder concurring in the director's policy), to be made before Vice-Chancellor Tur ner. As was intimated in the Express ten days ago, the newly-elected directors have not been permitted to take their seats at the board. i die U :184 u 115 13117 PoMat FROM THE BLOW OF A Pt. kTYPUS.—The following notice of poison from the blow of a platypus will interest the scientific reader. We (Hobart Town (:ourier) have been favoured with the following communication from Mr. Anstey, giving an account of the extraordinary effect of the blow of a platypus. We insert it in the hope that the attention of naturalists may be directed to the circum stance., as it would be well worth while, by a series of ex periments, to determine the virulence of the poison con tained in the spurs of thi. curious animal. "On Monday morning last, a man named Cooper. employed by Mr. G. C. Clarke, as gatekeeper at Interlachen, discovered a pla typus asleep in the small stream connecting Lake Cres cent and Sorell. He grasped it by the nick with his left hand, and was instantly struck by the creature's spurs on the upper and under sides of his wrist, the wounds being about an inch in length and skin deep. He succeeded in killing it, and at once proceeded to ano ther establishment of Mr. Clarke's on Lake Sorell, called the "Dog's Head," distant about four miles from Interlachen. By the time he arrived there his arm had very much swollen, and he complained of great pain all the way up it. Fortunately for him a party of gentlemen arrived at the Dog's Head shortly after, one of whom was a medical man. By this time Cooper's arm had greatly increased in size, his eyesight had nearly failed him, and BRISTOL, APRIL 23.—The market was active and buoy his face grew black. Ms wounds were lanced, bathed ant, and a good deal of business transacted. The follow brandy, and, in the absence of any stronger remedy, a large ing are the quotations : Great Western 17/.

The share market has been very quiet today, business being partially suspended till the result of the Bank Board meeting could be known. Prices, however, with one or two exceptions, have been firmly maintained, and on the whole the rates paid are fully equal to those of yesterday. Midlands have been most dealt in, and the price at one time reached 65, but was then at once depressed to 6.1, by sales ; it is now scarcely so good as it closed yesterday.
