C. and the Hon. A. llardinge, Liout.-Col. Lawrence, Lieut.- Col. Wood, and Lieut. &tell. From Cotoier Lord Hardinge crossed the desert to Keneh, on the Nile, whence a steamer, sent up by the Egyptian govern ment, was to take Lis lordship to Thebes ; and after visiting that place, he was to proceed down the Nile ' to Cairo and Alexandeis, where he was expected about the 24411 ult., to embark on board of her Ma losty's steam-frigate &idon, which was waiting for his lordship. The Moozuffer, with the Earl and Countess of Dal blade en hoard, arrived at Calcutta o.t the 12th inst., and in the rvening of that day the new Governor- General landed, and was nducted into his high office with all the eu,4ornarc hmiours. Lord Hardinge embarked on board the Moozuffer on the 18th inst. lie proceeded on font, attended by a rtawye of omelet and other gentlemen, from Go vernment House to ('hnmpiul Ghat . , where he wa.s greeted, on his taking boat, with the usual salutes and enthusiastic cheering front the troops and people as sembled. The commercial coalition of Calcutta has under gone no change for tic better, as yet. The only de clared failures recently ate thole of Luekersteen Bro thers and John Wien . holt and Co. The liabilities of the former firm are 1,336,806 Rs., its assets 1,013,794 Re.; of the latter, liabilities 380,416 Rs., assets 384,617 Rs. The Union Bank has failed. The hope that it might *mule through its difficulties has petite i' illusive—the bsnk is gone at last. Two or three meetings have been held, at whit two or three little matters came out illustrative dim peculiar system of business which has prevailed hr some time. It was shown how four-and-a-half lam d rupees'-worth of the bank-poet bills, remitted to Cockerell, Larpent, and Co., of London, to be bald as security for bill of exchange •:alwn by the bank upon thew were negotiated by the firm shortly before it s f a il ure , the unfortunate bank' beta fi ttes left responsible for the amount of both ' esti of bills—namely, nine lace ! It was told, again, how the greatest part of the proceeds of four lees' worth of bills sent to the Union Bank by the Commercial Bank at Bombay to be negotiated at Cal cutta, somehow got mixed up with the Union Bank's own funds, and were paid away in a time of pressure. It was shown bow influential directors—such as the late I)warkanauth Tegore and Mr. W. P. Grant — (maid go to the cash-office, and induce the treasurer to give virtual acceptance to bills refused by the direc tors of the day. And lastly it has come to light that the chairman, Mr. John Storm, could make up his mind to borrow Company's paper from the bank without the knowledge of the secretary or his brother directors, for the purpose of helping a personal friend out of a scrape. Speaking of the Union Bank the Calcutta Etaglidt man remarks The affairs of the Union B.nk occupy a considerable tion of our columns to-day, and the proceedings at the meet ings of shareholders will be fund fu'l of that kind of inte rest which is commonly found in the police reports of the metropolis. The further the inquiry extends, the more extraordinary are the disclosures, and the late weretary now publicly accuses one of the directors of having attempted to purloin the government securities of the bank, while two others actually ob tained by their own authority the discount of a rejected bill, and the whole capital of the institution appeare notoffeer been shared out amine the directors, women* to Side .11daRtheie aecessisiso, or theie.sa-; *dense. • OR taken the mot wafavouratde view of the lad out rn of this unfortunate concern, and we now hear that it is intended te propose an immediate call upon the proprietors of 200 Co.'s rs. per shore to meet numerous osier-due and returned hills, the holders of which are not likely ti show further forbearance, especially when aware, as they now are, or the most disgraceful prefer ences having been given to particular creditors. The feel fug of the public is, whatever difficulties may be interposed to prevent the punishment of thtoe who have so grossly abused the cm ti :nice else, d in them by the sherehontem, that the law has no punishment more than adequele to their offence. A notification had been published in the several =iiiancies, under instructions from the India announeing that the sum of 600,0001. was to be raised in India by bills on the hypothecation of goods for the service of the I:ast India Company. The advance on goods will be to the extent of three fifths of the value. In the similar operations of 18-12 the advances amounted to three-fourthe of the value. The rate of exchange is fixed at Is. 100. per Company's rupee—an increase of 6 per cent. on the ' brew exchange. In other respects the conditions of negations are the same. The Calcutta Star says The exportation of specie to Europe by government at es moment when private credit is nearly extinct, has excited great femora in the bazaar, although the matter has not been noticed generally. Considering the almost entire stoppage of bullion importation from China, Singapore, and Bur, we cannot but apprehend that this financial expe dient, dictated according to report by Sir Charles Wood, will is two sr three months entail consequences not clearly weighed, tinker the Bank of Bengal intervene: with an ex tended issue of notes. We annex the summary of the Bombay Times: Lord Dalhousie strived in Calcutta on the 12th ult., and waa ferthwith invested with the Aire of Governor-general. Lord Hardinge left India on the ISth, honoured and ap plauded by the whole community. No administration ever commenced more auspiciously than that just begun, or ended more honourably than that which is closed. Lord Hardbtge proceeds by the Red Sea, and is expected to spend some data at Aden. He therm proceeds to Cosier, from which be cruses the Desert to rhebes, and so ele mends the Nile, tarrying shortly at Cairo and Alex andria on his way. The ex- governororeneral ar rived at and quitted Madras on the 23rd ultimo. A farewell banquet was given to the Marquis of Tweeddale on the eve of his departure, and a testimonial has been subscribed for in honour of his services as governor. He was to have left Madras on the 20th, on hie return to Ragland, by H. M. frigate Fox —The supreme government are understood to have wisely and justly determined to re lieve the Nissen of a portion of the contributions he makes M the pay of those troops who are only nominally in his same.—t he subsidiary force, and the contingent. —From Cabool we continue to receive occasional rumours to the effect that Doet Mahomed is still preparing himself to seek an asylum in our dominions.—Sir Frederick Currie has been (wetted resident at Lahore : it is supposed that on the return of Col. Lawrence to his duties Sir Frederick will succeed Mr. Thomason as Lieut.-Governor of the North West Provinces. Sir John Littler was about to take his de parture for Calcutta, to assume his seat in council.—The Ne paul minister it is said has confined the ex-king and his son, and proclaimed himself rajah in their stead.—Petty distur bances have again broken out in the kingdom of Gude.— Goomsoor is tolerably quiet ; the force for the subjugation of the Rat& of Ungool is on its march towards his terries• ries.—The firm of Brownrieg and Co., of Bombay has sus pended payment, and called a me, ring of its creditors.—The public attention for the month hoe been entirely en grossed by the sad spectacle commercial affairs have pre seated at Calcutta, disclosed to us by the discus-, 'ions of the late Union Bank. The establishment in ques tion has every year published its balance, shown profits, and given dividends, when it was in reality en the eve of insol vency. Its paid-up capital exceeded a million sterling: nearly the whole of this was in the hands of merchants en gaged in indigo speculation*, to whom the bank were in the habit of giving accommodation of a quarter of a million annually. They were not in the habit of writing off bad debts, and never therefore appeared to have and. any losses. They indulged in the system of unlimited and unrestricted credits on bills ; and the houses of Colvin, Gilmour, and Co., and Cockerell and Co., were a twelvemonth tines 230,0001. in the bank's debt : when the late commercial crisis occurred, they owed it 600,0001. On one occasion it appears two of the directors who were refused discount of a bill by the general board, went to the treasurer and secretly obtained the cash without authority. On another occasion a director was de tected by the secretary attempting to possess himself of a government paper, to be applied to his own use. In June last, the bank being in meet difficulty for money, drew on the firm of Larpent, Cockerell, and Co., of London, the Cal cotta branch of which owed them above a quarter of a mil lion sterling, for 30,0001. at ten months' date. The liquida tion et these was to be duly provided for long before they b e came due. To prevent apprehensions of risle,lbank post bills to this amount were forwarded to London, to be retained as securities till the others reached maturity, when, if all went right, they were to be returned to Calcutta. The London house accepted the bills. end Messrs. Jardine, Skinner, and Co. in whore hands 30,000 1 . worth of poet bills had been lodged for safety's sake, discounted them — the bank receiving and appropriating the proceeds. Messrs. Larpens, Cockerell, and Co., finding bankruptcy at hand, negociated the security bills and appropriated the money, I end them failed, leaving the bank to settle with Messrs. Jardine, Skinner, and Co., and of course occesioning a loss to the extent appropriated, less the dividend on the bankrupt estate. to the end of October, before the bankruptcy of the London house, which bad occurred in the beginning of the month, became known, Mr. Larpent of the Calcutta home, accepted its bills for 20,0001., drawn at ten months, on the home firm, and appro priated the proceeds. The Commercial Bank of Bombay having in November sent 40,0001. worth of bills to be sold by the Union Bank at Calcutta, directing the proceeds to be immediately returned to Bombay in Bank of Bengal Bills, the Union Bank sod the bills, received the money, arid made use of it. The bank has now closed its accounts; its stock is all gene, and those who held shares, and looked for dividends aa a source of income, are pennyleae. A call of 20t., moreover, is about to be made on each share, to meet t he immediate demands of 1 the creditors : this, it is said, will be refunded with interest. The directors of the bank, of whom the gentleman so often named was one, were its chief debtors : they discounted their own bills, and borrowed from themselves. As if to complete the misery occasioned by the failure, the London Lite Insurance Society invests 10,000/. of its capital in bank shares, and is unable to pay the annual premium to policy-holders. So much for the direct transactions of the bank: the terrible system of dealing just described seems not to have been confined to one establish ment. When Palmer and Co. tailed in IS3O. spreading wretchedness and rein through so many families, Mr. Larpent I was appointed one of the trustees to wind up the affairs of the establishment; by degrees all the assignees gave two have disappeared: the one just named having 'relined 20,0001. from the estate, deposited them, first in the Union Bank, anti then transferred them to his own house, now bank nipt, and this loan has been sealed up with the rest. The official assignee of the supreme court, is, or rather was, a Mr. O'Dowda, who, not conteat with the very ample fees of office, must make profit of the funds eons witted to his charge. He accordingly invested 20,0001. in Union Bank shares, new not worth one farthing, and the poor creditors may grieve with the rent. The crisis at Cal cutta seems nearly over, and men's minds are composed now that they know the worst—worse it could not be than it is. Two bankruptcies have occurred within the fortnight—Messrs. Lackersteen and Bro ther!, and John Wienholt and Co. They seem to have fallen through misffirtune—no imputation rests on their integrity . . Go:ere:moot have added to the general distress by din sting half a million sterling to be shipped to England in specie. Arniffit such melancholy spectacles of commercial laxity of dealings, it is pleasant to turn to the conduct of Messrs. Watson and Borradaile, agents for the Great North of India Railway, who have announced that the concern is to be wound up, and that Is. 3d. will be returned to the subscribers, being the unapplied balance of the de posit of 2s. placed in their hands. Deposits to a large amount in the Northern and Eastern Line project, now also abandoned, were plaeed some time since in the hands of Mr. Aylwin, now in England agitating the salt question. Our brethren of Bengal seem to think that the patriot is too much occupied with the interests of the whole population to condescend to think on individuals, and that he will act 4 3.1 LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 4,1848.

LATEST FROM PARIS. tip to post hour last evening Paris was tranquil, but the bearing of the working classes afforded some cause for uneasiness. A delegation from the operative classes was assem bled at the Luxembourg on Wednesday, as we have already stated, and a meeting of the masters and em ployers met in the same place on Thursday, botk under the presidency of NIM. Louis Blanc and Albert. The immediate result of these meetings has been, that the provisional government have decreed that the working day in Paris shall be reduced from 11 to 10 hours, and in the provinces from 12 to 11 hours. and that the emplo3 ment of workmen by intermediate task masters shall be abolished. Nothing is said in the decree respecting the rate of wages, but it was un derstood that, for the present, no change in the cus tomary rates will be made. On Thursday afternoon Lord Normanby had ano ther long interview with M. de Lamartine at the Hotel des Affaires Etrangdres, when the ambassador communicated the substance of de spatches he had received from Lord Palmerston, the tenor of which wee, that according to the diplomatic usages, a temporary government like the present was one to which a regular ambassador could not be accre dited ; but that England had no intention or desire to interfere in any measures which France might take in the formation of a new government, and that whatever the forms of that government might be, the ambassador should be accredited to it as soon as it was regularly constituted. It was added that in the meanwhile the most amicable relations between the ambassador and the provisional government would be maintained. One of the first acts of M. Ledru-Itollin in taking possession of the Ministry of the Interior has been to create a bureau of publicity, to communicate regularly to all the journals, without distinction, such news, foreign and domestic, as may be interesting to the public. The provisional government have issued a decree of the 28th ult., declaring that all bills of exchange, payable between the 22nd February and 15th March, inclusive, shall have ten days additional grace. The arrangement formerly stated to have been made between the Bank of France and the Minister of Finance, extended only to hills coming due up to the 10th March inclusive. This decree extends to all bills coming due up to the 15th March inclusive. The general commanding the national guard has published a proclamation to the citizens of Paris and the suburbs, notifying that the general elections of the national guard are shortly to take place. All citizens aged from twenty to fifty-five, who desire the welfare of the country ate invited not to lose a moment in causing themselves to be inscribed on the registers. The Provisional Government is to arm all the citizens, and also to clothe those who cannot pay for clothing themselves. In a short time, the pro clamation says, there will be 200,000 National Guards in Paris and the suburbs. The elections of the National Guards are to serve as a basis to all the electoral system of the republic. There was a rumour that Baden was in full insur rection. The tri-colour fltg, !it is reported, had been displayed in Maycnce and Darmstadt. Accounts begin to arrive of the effect of the news of the events of Paris beyond the Rhine. Letters from Manheim, of the 27th ult., say that a profound agitation prevails there. Troops had left Carlsrhue to reinforce the garrison of Kehl. It was not certain whether the frontier would be oc cupied. News from Hedelberg say that, such an agitation prevailed, among the students there, that an explosion was imminent. Advices from Carlsrhue, of the 29th, say that the Baden government had presen'ed to the Chamber projects of law for the liberty of the press, the arm ing of the people, and the institution of trial by jury. The formation of a civic guard was already com menced, and the incipient corps had occcupied several posts in the city and one of the gates. Muskets were distributed to the citizens generally. The streets were patrolled by the civic guard. The ..s'7* ,, k quotes a letter of the same date from Col mar, which it says contains news from Germany of great gravity. Oa the evening, at the moment of the installation of M. Chaffour as commissary of the pro visional government, news arrived at Colmar that fighting was going on at Carlsrhue. A postscript to the same letter states that the country of Baden had risen, and that the tricoloured flag was dirrlayed everywhere. Mentz (liesse-Darmstadt) 4 in revo lution.

Letters received from Lyon!' mention serious dis orders which have broken out in that city. The workmen have broken the machinery in several of the factories of the faubourg and in the tobacco works. It was with great difficulty that the railway to St Etienne was saved from destruction. Great diaquistode prevails in the department of the I Lower Rhine.

The Bank of Lille has raised its rate of discount to 6 per cent. On Thursday several persons were arrested, in con sequence of valuable objects taken from the Tuileries being found in their possession. The committees appointed to transfer to the mimeo= and the treasury, the various objects of art and of value in the Tuileries and at Neu fly, have terminated their labours, and these places have been closed with sealed doors. Sixty-six paintings from the gallery at Nenilly have been deposited in the museum of the Louvre. The legitimist, as well as the catholic party, has evinced its desire to rally round the provisional I government. The section of the Quince-Viol:gbh so celebrated in our first revolution, has again been formed, and carries on its 1 sittiege in the Bth arrondissement. Its mission is that of pre- Firing the forthcoming elections and watchir g the new govern meet, which it wishes to support. The government, which bears the present weight, requires all support ; the assistance wanted by the Hotel de Ville must be given, but it must he that of free-teen.--Reforrae. The Monitettr contains the following proclamation to the colonists of Algeria : "The Provisional Government is attentively occupied with the precarious position in which you hare beet fur a long time placed. It is aware that a part of your ember. easements proceed from the uncertainty which has hitherto weighed on the future fate of Algeria. The guilty mania of the fallen government, and perhaps its pusillanimity, have presented the development of the colony to which you have been afraid to envy your families and your capital. The republic will defend Algeria as it would the soil of France. Your material and moral interests will be studied and satisfied. The progressive assimilation of Algerian institution, to those of the mother country is contemplated 1 by the provisional government ; and it will be the object of toe most serious deliberation of the National Assembly. France relies on your patriotism to second the Governor- General, who is invested with the confident.e of the Frovi sionel Government. (Signed by the members of the Provisional Government.) SOLDIERS of THE A£EICAN ARMY, The Republican Government which France has just given herself. bore, half a century since, on the shores of Afi ice, the colours under which you have fought fur the last eight years. Your heroic straggles, your labours, your indefatigable perseverance, that military virtue, in a word, of which you have given so many proofs, will be appreciated and rewarded by the Provisional Government.

FOREIGN INTERVENTION. Hu the French republic to fear a new coalition ? Can the French republic be crushed by a league of the powers Such are the two questions on the order of the day ; they are serious ; they must be replied to ; for they weigh on the future of the revolution, on the victory of the people. No, the French republic need not fear a new coalition. It is not because the hearts of kings have changed—it is not because the hatred to the people and to thought is not still living at the bot tom of those hearts, which are rendered rotten by feudal traditions and the pride of blood • but the redoubtable trials which dynasties have traver sed within the last fifty years, and the new revolutions which open beneath their feet, terrify them. The kings are afraid ; they dare no more sound the charge, and brandish the sword, to keep up the police in their dominions, cbeek and gag the sigh and thought, surround their frontiers with jealous custom-houses which allow to pass neither tie book of philosophers, nor the cry of distant revolts, nor the journal, this great voice of free nations—such is to day_ all the policy of these tottering chiefs who tormerly said—" Time and the earth are ours! " How besides could they send forth armies of invasion, leaving be hind them, around them, their people who moan and who see from afar the bright aurora of liberty ? Let Nicho las forward his squadrons, and the Vistula will swallow them up; let the infamous destroyer of °Mikis, let Met ternich, throw a single phalanx on the Rhine, and Lom bardy will have its vespers like Sicily; let Prussia place two regiments in line for the battle, and this monarchy would soon fall between the faithless of the Duchy sf l'osen and the revolted of the Rhine. Yes, the great powers are no longer as royalties and governments, anything but spectres decked in jewels ; alone, the people are living, and all the dungeons will soon be opened! Such is the result of pro pagandism, of that long battle which France has sustained for silty years by the intellect and the sword. As in the times of our fathers, moreover, the French nation will suffice to itself—it has ideas to render fecund ;it has the phalanx to sustain the s hock of twenty coalitions. Thus tho republic has no reason to dread the alliance of kings ; we have at tached the Orr ek fire to their flanks, and they burn on their thrones. Let us watch, however, and take care—France must be as a sentinel!—la Reforms. THE PARIS PRESS AN]) THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.—NEWSPAPER STAMPS. On Thursday evening, at six o'clock, the editors of most of the Paris journals were received at the Hotel de Ville, in the name of the Provisional Government, by citizen Gamier- Pasti:s, Mayor of Paris. Tho object of the visit was to present certain observationsfelative to the decree which maintains the present stamp-duty on journals and ether periodical publica tions. The stamp-duty and caution-money on journals were considered by the gentlemen present not as mere fiscal mea sures, but as reactionary and oppressive exactions which the republic ought to have at once abolished. M. Dur rieu, principal t dttor of the Courtier Francais, in the name of hi. colleagues of the press, having explained their views on this important point, M. Oarnier-Pages proceeded to state the motives of the government in issuing the decree : The provisional government," he observed, " recog nises fully, in their widest extent, the great principles of the liberty of the press. It wishes to see that right not only ad mitted de jure, but txercised de facto, without any preventive laws, or restrictive measures, or political impediment, or fiscal hindrance. The provisional government consider , it to be one of its first duties to present to the constituent as sembly a decree to abolish the stamp-duty and caution ' money imposed on journals. But in the difficult circumstances i n which we are placed, the thought of n l l good citizens ought to be directed t a one objcet only—to save and defend the republic. The regular exercise of the public services is one of the first conditions of every government. The com plete collection of the taxes and imposts can alone ensure re gulari.y in those services, civil and military. In conse. tinence, the provisional government, appealing to the pa triotism of the several journalists, calls on them to support, for some time I.nger, a tax, no doubt exorbitant, but the payment of whith is essential .o the public service. The principle of complete liberty is at present fully admitted, and the provisional government cannot suppose that its in tentions will be suspec•ed,—it, which draws all its force front the people, from the public opinion, from the press,—which, in fact, depends with confidence on these great elements of reason and justice. " Alter the address of M. Gamier-Paces, of which the above is only the substance, M. Piignerre, secretary general of the provisional government, read to the edi tors the draft of a decree, declaring that, "during the ten days preceding the convocation of the primary as s, &nits, all journals, placatas, and political writings should be published without the stamp duty." This exceptional measure, he said, will have for result to furnish to public opinion the widest source of com munication and publicity, in a restricted period. during which a Coestitutnt Assembly, ready for grand ' dissussions, is to rise up in the midst of republican France. The gentlemen of the press then withdrew. The Madrid mails of the 26th have arrived, and bring a report of a formidable and unexpected Carlist movement at Igtialada, the largest town of tie Catalan principality, governed by 1,600 men. It was suc cessfully entered, on the night of the 21st, by 300 Matinee, and at the same time by two other parties of insurgent"; At the Boles business was unusually animated, the Threes rapidly riming to 30, wit', suddenly .11 moan were spread that disorders had broken out in Paris in connexion with the reform baseless, a panic fell on the mass, and prices immediately fell two per cent. An eatafette came in at 11 a.m., for the French em bassy, in 36 hours from Bayonne. The inauspicious reports are supposed to have leaked from thence. A letter, dated Madrid, 26th ult., says : " Telegra phic despatches from Paris of the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, announce that some disorders have prevailed ;here, but that the laws have been rigorously enforced. The opposition here have doubtless exaggerated the news; nevertheless, a decline of the funds has taken place in consequence." MAIMID R0L..., Fen. 20 —Three per Cenuk.

At every point are sentinels with their muskets ready loaded to fire, and cannon planted. The streets are deserted, the shops closed, all business stopped,and grief and rage are painted in every coun tenance. This sad state of things cannot last long. Cir renters have beea sent to all the clergy, rendering them responsible for all that may ensue from sounding the tocsin." Letters from Malta inform us of the arrival of Mehemet Ali, in a French steamer, from Alexandria. His highness was received with the usual honour. His visit to Malta was for the benefit of his health, which, we are glad to say, had improved at the date of our correspondent's eommu ' niustion. The Mary and Jane had been loat on her voyage from Messina to Malta, on the sot coast of Sicily. By the Levant mail we have received advises from Constantinople to the 17th, with news of the ratifica tion of the treaty between Turkey and Persia. Great praise is given to M. Titoff, the Russian minister at the Porte, for the share he has had in bringing this negotiation to a conclusion. A charge of smug gling, made against the foreign consuls in some of the Turkish ports, had produced some sensation. The cholera had not absolutely disappeared, but was quite disregarded. We have Sydney papers to the 10th of November; Maitland to the 7th ; Port Phillip to the 20th of Oc tober; and Hobart Town to the 28th. The intelligence they bring is not of much novelty. The feeling in Van Diemen 's Land against the government proposal for transferring thither the penal settlement and con victs from Sydney, was in a state of increasing excite ment. A public meeting had".been held, at which the proposition was reprobated in the most unmeasured terms; and petitions, founded on res lutiona passed in that sense, were adopted, one to her Majesty, and another to the Lieutenant Governor, requesting him to suspend the execution of the measure until further orders could be received from England. ARRIVAL OF THE EX-KING AND QUEEN OF THE FRENCH AT CROYDON. At twelve o'clock this day several carriages were 1 in waiting at the Croydon station, as also the direc • tors of the railway company. At a quarter past twelve the train, containing Louisl'hilippe and Queen Amelie arrived. The king was handed out by his sons, whom he embraced ; he then embraced the Duchess de Nemours. The scene was affecting. The royal party retired to the ladies' waiting-mom, and shortly after drove off to Claremont. His Maj; sty was dressed in a grey surtout. The Queen seemed care-worn, but had an expression of thank fulness fur her happy escape. The station was I crowded, end though there was an evident feeling of commiseration for the royal exiles, there was no out ward demonstration of applause. A telegraphic dispatch reached us this morning, announcing the arrival of the Duchess of Orleans, with her two children, at Portsmouth, by the Cuckoo steamer, from Jer.ey. Some of our contemporaries state the arrival to have been that of the Dachas de Nemours and family. ILLNESS OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. CONVOCATION OF THE PRUSSIAN DIET. GERMAN DECLARATION.

During the put two days Indian Corn has been is good re quest, with the turn in favour of sellers ; and other branches of the trade firm but not active. Influenced mainly by the present meagre arrivals, the Wheat trade this morning as sumed an increased degree of stability, and although we had not many buyers from any part of the country to-day, a good extent of business was tran'.acted, chiefly in the middle and lower runs of foreign Wheat, partly for investment, and at an advance of Id. to 2d. per 701 b. : fine descriptions of foreign, however, continued to be offered at late prizes ; whilst supe rior qualities of English and Irish, in the absence of supply, may be c .nsidered the turn dearer. States Flour, being in rather better request, and Irish more readily disponi of, both fully maintained our last quotations. Barley, having moved off somewhat more freely, partly exceeded the rates of Tuesday. Malt dull, at former prices. Beans were again rather depressed in value, except Egyptians which improved 6d. per qr. Peas little noticed, and the turn cheaper. Oats and Oatmeal, upon a fair de mand, and good qualities of the farmer scarce, cash fatly supported the terms last noted. Indian Corn still "meeting a lively demand for Ireland, the secondary and lower deserip dons were Is. per qr. higher, and fine parcels held at &slight amendment. Corn Meal steady,tbut not dearer. Arrivals into Liverpool from the 29th Feb. to the 2nd March inclu sive: Wheat, 80.5 qrs. ; Malt, 37 ; Oats, 241 ; Indian Corn, 2,087 ; Indian Corn Meal, 2,445 barrels; Oatmeal, 2,900 sacks; Flour, 77G sacks.

MONEY MARKET at CITY INTELLIOF.NCF.. The transactions in the funds this morning have been more than usually important. According to some reports very strong efforts have been made to support the market, and as large amounts of money stock have been taken, the speculative object in that case will have been answered, not so much, however, in raising the prices of stock, as in communicating greater steadiness to the market. If, however, on the contrary, the pur chases of money stock have been for real in vestment, the improvement rests on more legi timate grounds, and should be expected to be more permanent accordingly. Consols opened and remained for some time at from 82 to I but under the influence of the operations referred to gradually advanced afterwards to 82 buyers. A slight reaction now make s them sellers at that price both I fur money and account. Reduced Threes, 821 to 4. Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents., shut. Exchequer Bills, 20s. to 225. premium.

The expo,ure of the malpractices of the Union Bank of Calcutta. the accounts of which are brought by the Overland Mail, has made a painful impression in commercial quart, rs, as apparently compromising various parties in India and hue, held hitherto in 011/15MC1151.11.111. The Belgian government found it expedient on the lst inst., to issue a notice to the effect that the notes of the Bank of the Societe Generale erablished for the support of national industry, and of the Bank of Belgium, would still be rectivtd, as before, in all the collectorships of the state in payment of taxes and customs' duties. This declaration may serve to re establish the confidence in paper money, which was shaken to some extent by the failures at Antwerp. A considerable proportion of the capital stock of the Bank of Belgium is owned in this country. .... Ite i O' sty e's ita ant .t., rah 104 C. pool ant. kr.2l ar. 9 rfl ri' f r o
