PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIOATION COMPANY. The twenty-fifth half-, grit' meeting of the pro p, prieton was heel on Saturday at the company'. 1 111-cs, L ennhall-street ; Sir J.ta. Ilernesoce, But., M.P., in the chair. 3he nark* convening the meeting having been read by the secretary, Mr. llama. The CRAISM CI said, in meeting the shareholden on entesioa, the direeton bed much pleasure in coogratts- Leing them no the ceatinusace of the prosperous state of the company's affairs and the exemption with which they Awl ben f d front them casualties and disasters to which AA concerns were from their very rintare inevatably espeeed, however great the ear. and assaleity with whie:i they might he earned on. If there were any alloy to the intielsetion with which they trusted the report would be nseived it arose from a cause which, in other respect:, was a source of universal and airmailed congratulation ; he miens the misled prosperity which the country now enloyeal, and which, by occasioning increased employment lot shipping, had nremarily augmented vary considerably the ezpense of providing coals for their stations. But, as these and other circumstances would be more exilieitly laid helm the meeting in the report, be would not longer de tain throe from listening to it. The SteIIZTANY then re ad the following report : " The directors are enabled to state that the operations of the company foe the six months ending 31st Muth last are satisflltery, and the results would have warranted theta in recommeudieg the usual dividend of tour per mat. ; but man; to the late unprecedented end extraordi aary scarcity of shipping &aimed fur India and China, which theeonseany have hitherto:depended upon fur the eon ve) race of cool: to their distant stations in the east, and the consequent high prices what h hare to be paid for freight to those stations, a very large ii.erease in the expenditure of the company has been created. From the commence 0. tot of the year to the present time, the freight of coals to ledia and China has exceeded, by uremia's of 50 per cent., the priers paid during the corresponding period of last year ; and although shipping is not quite so scarce as it was, the rates of freight are still unusually high, atd there is every prospect of a c. ntinuance of those prices for some time to conic Taking these circumstances into considers ti al, and looking to the permanent interest of the clew pany. the directors feel they would not be justified in re emmending a higher dividend than 3 per cent. for the half year. The directors think it right to inform the proprietor, that after the great scarcity of shipping for the East had become hut ton ape great, they felt it imperative upon them todraw the attentiosof her Majesty's government to the very critical position of the company as regarded the reenter performance of the mail connect, arising out of the nausea "Buds d to; and suggeete4 that a portion of the mail service under the new and extended enntract, which c 'lamented on the Ist of January hut, should be suspended for one to twelve month., with a correspon lase reduction of the mail money, in order to afford tines ear supplying the distant depute of the company with coals from Austra lia, India, the Eastern Archipelago, and elsewhere. This step' won considered necessary, not on account of the high prices paid for coal. but by reason of the actual deficiency of ship pi e -slesinadle from this country. The gevernment,ho we v er, emoted to comp:, with the suggestion of the director, except upon conditions which were coosideled by them elmee fatal to the interests of the company ; they therefore determined on endeavouring to carry out in all inte pity the whole of the contract; and the directors hope, that by a continuance of their exertions in procuring the means of conveyance for coals, and with well-timed arrangements, the mail service, under the new contract, will he con darted with that regularity which has characterised the best five moats of its operation. As a means of meeting the difficulties referred to, as far as lay it. their power, Sarticularly at the important stations of Hong-Kong and ingapore, the directors decided at ones on purchasing an iron screw steamer, since named the Rajah, of 600 tons and 60 horse power, for the express par pose of carrying coals from Labnan or other places, to the depOts alluded to. This vessel is being fitted for sea with all despatch, and will take her departure in the course of a few days. The company's local agents have eh, been instructed to spare no exertion is endeavouring to engage vessels at their respective stations to proceed to the coal-producing districts ; and the directors have the satin- Reties of adding, that by the last overland mail the agent Of the company at Hong Kong intimated that he had every expectation of receiving a considerable quantity of good steam coals from the island of Formosa, about 250 miles distant from Hoeg Kong. The directors, pursuant to the power granted to them to take up money on debenture to the extent of 500,0001., as referred to in the last I re port, have now to announce that 2:113,0e0f. have been taken up for three years, m 0125,0091. for five years, making together 383,000/. at 31 per cent. A large portion of this amount has been invested, at a moderate rate of interest, uctil required to pay the instalments on the new vessels in course of con struction. It is not contemplated to take up any further sums on debenture at present ; but should it become neces sary to raise the remainder to meet these payments, due notice thereof will be given to the proprietors. " Tits COMPANY'S Fearr.—The Bengal, of 2,300 tons lord 466 horse power, was despatched to Alexandria, on her tiesetrip under the new mail contract, on the 20th of Feb rusty less ; mei being the first of the large class of screw ships building by the company, her performance was looked upon with more than ordinary interest by the directors, and they arc gratified in being able to report that the malt by far exceeded the expectatiohs they had entertained. Sion the list annual report the following vessels have been launched, viz.:—The Cadiz, screw, 850 tone, and 220 hone power, now ready far sea. The Valetta, peddle velar', :90 tons, and 400 horse power, will be ready foe me in June. The Vectis, paddle wheel, 900 tons, and 400 honer power, will be ready for wain July. The Deno, screw, 8-30 toss, and 220 horse power, will be ready for sea is July. The Himalaya, screw, 3,600 tons, and 700 horse power, will be ready for ma is September. STORlSoles.—The commanders of the Singapore and tralian line having reported the absolute necessity of • coal husk at King George's Sound, and another at Ade laide. tar diricton lost no time in purchasing two suitable vessels. Cs., the Lsrkings and the Orestes. The former was despatched on the 21th March, and the latter, also on her way cot, bas been contracted for, to be delivered at Adelaide, by her late owners. "To•ostr TUROCON Eo Ter.—The directors have every MOOS to believe that the railway from Alexandria to Cairo will be completed for the conveyance of passengers in the Muse of the next ea months; and they confidently hope that by that time the inconvenience of the most imperfect part of the transit, namely, the Mehmoudich Canal and Nile, will be entirely avoided. The need actow the Desert has been latterly much depraved, and the transit administration are adopting moseeree fur supplying a superior description of carriage than that at present in use, so that, fa the coulee of a short time, this portion of the overland journey will be rea dmit smell more comfortable. The hotel arrangements at Cairo aod guar having been repeatedly found to be de talent, the directors are now preparing to make such re presentations to the Egyptian government as, it is hoped, will lead tome e ff ectual removal of the evils complained of, end t a provision of such extended accommodation as the more frequent nod increasing transit of r,seopers requires. The directors trust the period is not far distant when they may be enabled to report the intention of the Egyptian :um, at to trend the railway from Cairo to Sues; sad es vi' y have engaged to submit to a reduction of 20,0001. per sonatas of the mail money, payable under the new con tract, on the completion of a railway throughout from Alexandria to Suez, they have reason to hope that the British government will look upon the execution of such a work as a matter of public interest. 81-NONTHLY MAIL SINVICZ TO AteTIIALIA.—The fieet mail fur Australia, under the new contract, left Southampton on the 4th of March last, and would start from Singapore about the 16th of April. The steamer with the first return mail would probably leave Sydney about the 20th of May, and letters by her may be conse quently expiated here about the 4th of August next. The experimental trips on this line, previous to the com mencement of the mail contract, of which the proprietors were informed at the last meeting, have been attended with sauelt expeses, but have resulted in the delivery in Landes of letters front Melbourne In 63 days, which the directors consider satisfactorily establishes the superiority of the overland route as a means of postal communica tion with the Australian colonies. " Div t uzsu.—The directors now recommend that a divi 'deed of three per cent., clear of income tax, for the half year ending 31st March last, be declared, and be payable m and after the 23rd of June." Mr. J. C. Moania moved the adoption of the report. Geacral M'Lzon briefly seconded the motion. After some conversation the report was passed unani mously. Mr. NEMOMI moved the declaration of a dividend at the rate of three per cent. for the half year. Mr. °soma, M.P., in seconding the motion, cengratu hated the meeting on the firwucas and discretion exhibited by the directors in recommending it to the proprietors. Then motion was then carried unanimously. A Pooratgron wished to know whether the screw had been found more economical than paddles. Mr. ALLAN, managing director, said their experience showed that there had been considerable economy in the working of the screw. (Hear, hear.) In the' he believed they directors would never build another paddle-wheel ves sel ; and it was probable that some of the existing paddle wheel vessels would be converted into screw vessel.. (Ileer.) The proceedings terminated with a vote of thauke to the chairman and the directors.

This was a rule calling upon the prosecution to show num why a decision of the Court of Quarter Sessions of i Newport Pagnell, affirming a certain conviction, should I not be quashed. This conviction was against the landlord of a public-house in that place for keeping open his house dunng the hours of evening terries upon Sunday. It sp peared that the evening service in the parish church of Newport Pannell used former:,' to be performed between the hours of 3 and 5 o'clock ; but of late years, the clergy man having been appointed chaplain to the workhouse, and performing afternoon servica there, it had taken place between 6 and 8 o'clock. Notwithstanding this alteration is the time of service, the publican had kept open his house as though the old arrangement was going on. Upon the part of the prosecution it was contended that the act of George 111., which requires that public-houses should be closed during the usual hours of afternoon *mice, in no way fixed the time of closing, but only required that the public-houses should be closed during the time, wh it might be, that the service was going on in the parish church. Mr. Baddeley showed cause ; Mr. Prendergast, Q.C., was ma the other side, hut was not called upon. Lard Campbell was of opinion that the rule ought to be made absolute. Were the arguments adduced by the prose cution to be allowed, it would become penal for a publican ' , to sell even a drop of beer to a labourer after 8 o'clock in the evening, if the clergyman thought fit to fix his service for that time. The legislature had enacted that it should be part of the conditions in the license of a publican that he should not keep his house open during "the usual hours" in which morning or "afternoon service" were celebrated in the parish in which the public. house was situated. That was a most useful enactment, and one which the court would always endeavour, to sustain. But the language of the legisla ture showed that the restraint imposed upon the publican was to he confined to the " usual ' hours of divine service. sad it seemed to him that from 6 to 8 was not the " usual " hoar of " afternoon service." Mr. Baddeley had properly called the attention of the court to the fact that neither in the Book of Common Prayer nor in the Act of Uniformity was there any hour fixed either for morning or evening ser vice. But then it could not be forgotten that at the time of the passing of the act in question it was well known that the morning service took place, throughout the country, in the early part of the day, and the evening service during what was usually called the afternoon. Everybody under stood the difference between afternoon service and evening service, end the service in question at Newport Pigpen clear y came within the later time; while, in fact, the alter noon service was performed within the workhouse. His lordship, therefore, thought that the decision of the quarter sessions was incorrect, and that this was not an opening of the public-house during the usual hours of divine service. The other learned judges concurred. R2lll absolute accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-SATURDAT. !Amities i. BAJCO. The court only sat formally in benco this morning, their lordships haring to meet the other judges in the Court of Error. SITTINGS AT Nun POUTS IN LOST* ~ —Buroas Ma. RIMS WlLuars mob A Corson 'var. DONMAt T. FITZOISIIALD.—ASSAI:LT. This was an action to recover damages for an assault, and the plea wee not guilty. Mr. Serjeaut Byles and Mr. Lush appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. Sleigh for the defendant. The plaintiff was formerly n provision merchant in Ire land, but having got into ditticultiee, he left that trade and became a commission agent iu London ; and the defendant was an Irish gentleman. The plaintiff became acquainted with the defendant about • year and a half ago, in relation to some bill transaction ; and on the 31st March last, the plaintiff called to see the defendant in the Queen's prison, where he was confined. When the plaintiff entered the room the defendant accused him of havioz misrepresented his (the defendant's) property to a Mr. Keane; and took up the poker and made a blow at him. He raised his arm and the blow fell upon the back of his hand ; the defend. ant than threw the poker at him, but it missed his, and he escaped. The plaintiff in his evidence stated, that all he had said to Mr. Keane was in delivering a message from Mr. Pierce Butler, the late M.P. for Kilkenny, to the effect that Mr. Fitzgerald owed more money than be said be owed, and that it would not be safe to lend him any money. The blow was a severe one, and the plaintiff found it necessary to consult two medical men ; he still felt pain and inconvenience from the blow, and it was probable that he would long do so. Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. and pointed out the defendant to the jury, and commented upon the circumstances that be was a man in years, infirm, and unable to walk without the assistance of two sticks. He also submitted that the case was of too paltry a nature to justify the action being brought in a superior court, and he said that if the plaintiff got a verdict that would carry costs the defendant would not be able to pay the amount; and the only result wgied he that the plaintiff would ac quire the power of re-imprisoning him. The jury gave a verdiA for the plaintiff—damages, 40s. ; and His lordship refused to certify fur costs. ADMIRALTY COURT.--SnoaDer. Burou Dc. LCAISOTO3I. TEM Y•OLLLAY PIRATBS. This was an eppliestion praying that the learned judge would allow a certificate to issue out to Captain Stewart, of her Majesty's steamer Virago, and to the officers sod crew of the vessel, to enable them to receive the customary TO ward for the capture of certaxa pirates in January, 1812, is the st►aits of Magellan. It seemed two vessels, the Eliza Cornish and the Flo rida, the one English and the other American, having put into Punta Armors, a settlement for convicts belong. ing to the Chilian republic, were seined by some people under Cambiaso, who was in open revolt spinet the Chilian government. The authorities having applied for the assist ance of Admiral Moresby, the steamer Virago was home. diataly despatched, and oo the 28th of January she recap turgid the Eliza Cornish and afterwards the Florida, and brought them both to Valparaiso, where the insurgents were handed over to the authorities. The court was called upon now to decide whether, by the terms of the statute, the men captured could be regarded as persons engaged in sets of piracy. Drs. Addams and Hayford, the Qseen's Advocate, Drs. Deane, Phillinaore, Haggsid, and Twisa, 'Neared for the difftrent parties. The learned judge took time to consider his judgment.

IN TAE MATTER OE GEORGE AVOIMITUS CRAVEN.— CoNcoc-nso ♦ Dirt. This insolvent, a grocer, &c., was opposed by Mr. Ernest Reed, for three creditors, and supported by Mr. Dowse. The insolvent was in prison cn a concocted debt, made on a reswaiwery awe, for the purpose of getting hint into prison. It was siesitted that there was no debt on which the arrest bad estused, but it was proved that there was a detainer en • ban die debt on the Nate_ day on which the petition was Ned. The question whether the court would sustain • peados lied es a debt, or whether the detainer on • real debt would altar the sew. Yr. 114ed;s1;i4 ttleeiltut to diintiss the petition, as it was founded in fraud. Mr. Dowse hoped the court would sustain the petition. There was a good detainer, and a day in law could not be divided. Philliq was ittelised to dinniss the petition. He consulted Mr. Commissioner Law on the sub ject, and that learned commissioner was clearly of opinion that if a man got into prison on a fictitious debt, a petition could not be sustained. His Honour (Mr. Commissioner Phillip.) dismissed the petition. It was an abominable ease, and parties should know that such attempts would not do with the court. The mtiti in was ordered to be dismissed. Mr. Dowse asked leave for the insolvent to file a new petition. Mr. Commissioner Phillips refused to give him any aa. sistat.ce. It would teach him and others not to be guilty of such conduct. _ _ The petition was accordingly ilismisscd, and the insolvent went back to prison. SURREY ADJOURNED SESSIONS. SATVILDAY. DISTT:IIIIING A CONORIWAIION. Aria buisfiert, sp:d 50, a tall, respectable-lo..king woman, was indicted for wilfully and maliciously diaturhiug a con gregation of persons assembled tor r.ligious worship at Bath -strew diisenting chapel It appeared from the evidence of several of the elders of the congregation that the defendant came into the chapel during service on the Rth inst., in the evening, and during the sermon sho was continually annoying the congregation by calling out as loud u she could that they were all wrong, and that she was sent there by the Lord to put them all right, in the spirit of love. She used such other expreasions uto create a great deal of disorder, and they were obliged to bare her turned nut. This was not the first time she had visited the chapel, for she bad often come there during the last two yeah and created similar d i sturbances. All the comp:ainants wanted was to prevent her from annoying them any more, and they would he satisfied if she would promise tter behaviour for the future. The prisoner, upon being asked by the magistrate if she wou ld give this promise, refused to do an. She said she must go where the Lord commanded, and her mission was lore. She tsok her seat peaceably in the chapel, and when she heard Mr. Armstrong speak she loved him, as he had direct communication with tiod, as she had.

THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. William Nash, who has been ummined several times upon charges of forgery, was brought up in custody of Haggett, the detective officer, for final examination. lir. Millen, of the firm of Bush and Malone, solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection from Forgeries sad Frauds, attended for the promotion, and Mr. Robinson for the defence. The prisoner, it will be remembered, was apprehended in the Bank of England, disguised in a red wig and whisker., and was identified by Hayden, the detective officer, as " Bill Nash," a notorious thief, for whom nothing was too hot or too heavy. The depositions in two of the eases, via., that in which the forgery was committed upon Barnet, Hoare, and Co., for 8.501 in the signature of one of the partners in Whitbread,' house, and that in which the forgery was com mitted upon the firm of Osgood, Hanbury, and Co., for 7681. 9s. 4d., were read over and signed by the witnesses. The prisoner, upon being asked by Alderman Hunter whether he wished to say anything, replied " No, I shall re serve my defence for my trial." He was then committed. OtiILDIIALL. John Palmer, a pauper in St. Olave's Union, was brought up on the cheep of committing wilful and corrupt perjury, in voting as a liveryman at the election fur Chamberlain. lir. Young attended to prosecute on behalf of Sir John Key's committee, who have put forth bills , offering a re ward of 101. for any information that may lead to • con , victim, in every case of penonation or perjury, whether on their own side or in favour of the opposing candidate. Henry Dwite said, he was canvassing in Bermondsey in favour of Sir John Key, when the prisoner was represented to him as being eligible to vote at the present election. Wit ness went to the prisoner, and questioned him on the sub ject, when he stated he was • freeman and a liveryman of the Salters' Company. Witness asked him for his vote, which he promised ; but, after voting at the hustings, be was recognised in the Hall as nut being a member of the livery of the Salters' Company, and witness then gave him into custody. The prisoner said, he was a freeman of London, and, on going up to vote, he mentioned the fact that he was not • liveryman ; but he was told, that as he had been apprenticed to a liverymen, he was entitled to vote at the election for Chamberlain. The witness Dwite said, the prisoner's statement was totally false ; for, when he was given into custody, he ad mitted he had done wrong. The prisoner was remanded for a few days. BOW-STREET. Hrbry Arnold, police-constable F 75, was called in the usual manner to answer • charge preferred by Mrs. Louisa Nathan, the wife of a tradesman in Covent-garden Market; but the defendant did not appear, and Inspector Macken zie informed his worship th it he had absconded from the force. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, when the summons was applied for, that Mrs. Nathan, and two other ladies, were about to cress the road from Covent garden Market to James-street, during the 'venial( of the 18th inst., when the defendant accosted them in a rude and insolent manner, desired them to " move on," and, on being remonstrated with for his unprovoked misbe haviour, addressed them in the most disgusting language, and called them prostitutes, stating that complainant was a " 'cell-known one." On the following morning her hus band, Mr. Nathan, having ascertained the constable's number, proceeded to lodge a complaint against him, and the Police Commissioners, after hearing the charge, ordered the defendant to answer it before a magistrate. Hitherto it has been the custom of the commissioners to send the offending constable at once before the magistrate, to save the complaining parties the trouble and delay of proceeding by a summons, as in ordinary cases ; but a change appears to have been lately introduced in the system of conducting police investigations, inconsequence of the recent refusal of Mr. Yardley to depart from the ordinary course; conse quently Mrs. Nathan and her witnesses, after previous visits to the police-station and S •otlend-yard, were called upon to attend twice at the police court, firstly to apply fur a summons a week ago, and yesterday to prove the case ; but in the mean time the defendant, atter failing to get the ease compromised, declined to meet the charge, and preferred leaving the force at once to the chance of being imprisoned, with certain dismissal afterwards. Mr. Henry directed that • warrant should issue for his apprehension. LAMBETH. Charles Cusissinghans7;ilia: S•nieh, alias Taylor, James Thompson Currie, and George Thomas, who stand charged with unlawfully attempting to procure abortion, were brought up for final examination. Mr. Parry, who appeared for the prosecution, said he should call as a witness Mrs. Bobbett, the lcndlady of the house No. 1, Bryant -street, Islington, where Miss Morden had lodged for a fortnight previous to her going to Stock well, and this witness would corroborate the testimony of the young lady as regarded the fact of her haying boric visited at that place by the prisoner Cunningham. Mrs. Bobbett, the witness, was here called, and when sworn became very much excited, sobbed aloud, and begged the magistrate to protect her from insult. Mr. Norton almond her that there was no person "Twat, he felt convinced, had the slightest disposition to offer her the least insult ; but if there should be, she might rely upon the utmost protection. dhe said-1 as the wife of Mr. James Bobbett, of No. 1, Bryant• , Caledonisn-road, Islington, gentleman. Mr. Parry—Do you recollect • young lady, Miss Elisa ,Morden, coming to lodge at your house ? Witness—l never considered Miss Morden my lodger. Mr. Parry—She was at your house, and why not consider her_your lodger ? Witness—Beams* Me,. Cornelius took my apartments. Mr. Parry: Do you know the prisoner Cunningham ? Witness : I know that penen (pointing to Cunning ham). Mr. Parry—Did that person visit Miss Morden at your house ? Witnesa—Yee, air; he did. Mr. Perry—State what occurred when Mr. Cunningham first called? Witness—The lint time he came he had no shoes and stockings on, and was dressed very low. Mr. Parry—What ! De you mean to say that he called without shoes or stockings on ? Witness—l said "low" shoes and stocking,. But the next time he came like • gentleman, with rings on his flagon. Mr. Norton—Yon mean to say he was much better dressed on the occasion of his second visit than his first ? Witness—Yes, sir ; much better. Mr. Norton—Did you know his name ? Witnest—No, sir; 1 knew his name. Mr. Norton—How often might he have called on the young woman altogether ? Witness—She was at my house fur a fortnight, and I think he did not omit coming one day. Mr. Parry—Now tell us, Mrs. Bobbett, what occurred on the first time of his calling. Witases—Why, he said, " Is there a yodng woman here out of health," and I said " No, not that I am aware of." I felt an impression of something wrong, and, to tell you the truth, I thought he was a detective policeman in rib- guise. He had neither shoos nor stockings on. Mr. Parry—That se just what you said before. Do you alma to repeat that In came shoeless? Witnan—That is net erectly whet I mass. Mr. Parry here said that it was quite apparent that the witness wee labouring under the effect of something beyond are excitement, and he should not only decline examining her further, but should reject her evidence altogether, and would not require her to be bound over fur the prosecution. The prisoners were then committed for trial. DAILY WEATHER TABLE. • MONDAY. NAT 30, 1863.

IT4LIAN PRISONERS IN CIERIIANY.—A steamer arriv.il from Venice on the 19th with 23 political prisoners from Autrian Italy on board. The mmorry of them are young men of good family. They ars to be confined in the fain:met of Laybosh, Kontgegraots, and Jasophstadt. HARDWARE. BIRMINGHAM, hint 28.—The healthy condition of trade here at the present time, and for the last six or seven months, has been fairly established by the trying test of a deranged and fluctuating metal market; fur, notwithstand ing the unprecedented and unnatural excitement which has prevailed as regards the price 01 raw materials, and the un certainty as regards quotations even for a single day, the town has not yet famished a single mercantile casualty. After these five or Ma months of feverish anxiety a change for the better appears to be taking place, and prices have undergone a subsidence (though far from their natural level) and assumed something of a stesdinea and fixity, a degree of esafideace has been imparted thereby which has very naturally brightened the prospects of trade generally. The pries of copper is still reported as somewhat unsteady, but there seems to be very slight ground foe apprehension on the subject of any Lather advance, and certainly some of the branches most likely to be affected have improved during the last fortnight. We refer to cabinet brass foundry especially, which had suf fered to some extent ; the orders are now increasing daily for the home trade, and we no longer hear complaints from the manufacturers. As regards the brass bedstead mann . facture, it remain* le pretty i.e Um mete emdition ; the export orders have been so large sow for many months, and this branch is daily growing's* rapidly that the effeetof prices upon it was not very materially felt. The lamp and chan delier trade is brisk, and inasmuch as prices in this branch had never been advanced in proportion to the rise in the metal, the manufacturers will derive no advantage from the reduced prices, although we believe that profits are not cut down so finely in this trade as they are in some others. The jewellery trade g Ily is very good. Of such articles as gold chains, rings, broueltre, for the weekly make, is probably four times larger than it has ever been ; by far the larger 'melon of these articles are for the export trade, and are cent away as fast as pro duced. The manufacturers of both light and heavy steel toys have all of them fully sufficient orders to keep all their men in full work, and we are informed that the OVV• chants and factors have each considerable orders not yet given out. The eleetrceplaters are not only in full work, but many of these engaged in this novel and beautiful branch have an accumulatioa of orders on hand weeks ago waved, and still unexocuted. As far as we have been able to ascertain, the condition of these trades to which we have referred is to a large extent that of the entire trade of the town ; there are no doubt exceptional eases, but, as a whale, there appease to be scarcely a pretext for grumbling, everybody is so fully employed. The carpenters and jemmy' strike appears to be well-nigh over; the (enemies on this Subject is ex tracted from the Journal of this morning:—" Yesterday (Friday) evening, au amicable conference betwixt masters and men, with a view to the settlement of the question, was held at the Hen and Chickens Hotel. Five employers were present, and the same number of workmen. The result of an hours' conversation was embodied in the following minute Mr. Owyther, as chairman, recommended the deputation from the men to advise the acceptance of the builders' former offer of an advance of 3d. per day, and thud that in the course of two or three months, if provi• lions and labour continued to advance as they were now doing, they would feel disposed to give the other pency asked for by the men ; but that in the meantime, and at oace, the builders would agree to the hours of labour in the shops ceasing at five o'clock on Saturday instead of half-pact Of course the deputation gave no answer to the proposi tion, but later in the evening it was intimated to us by some of the men that they had agreed to accept the terms ',tiered, and would return to work on Monday." ST. PETERSBURG, MAT 21. Corn : There is some inquiry both for wheat and rye ; of the former 2,000 cheat, taken for August delivery, at 23/ ro. ; of the latter 6,000 theta. on the spot, by foreign houses, at 161 ro., and thedemand eon' inues, both on the spot and on contract. Deals. Nothing done, many holders asking 7 ro. (241 ro. boo.) for redwood. Flax : Dull,with nothing doing in the absence of the dealers. Hemp : Small pur chases have been making on the spot, at 91 to 90 for clean, 86 to &5 for outsliot, and SO far half clean. On contract it is, dull, and our lower quotations would be accepted. Lin seed : For August delivery 2,000 ekes. Morshansk taken at 27 To., and 1,000 theta. Kaliscin, at 25 ro. with an advance, and 28 ro. paid for Morshansk on the spot. Tallow has de clined without much business, to 138, 10 down, for August, at which a few things have been done. Estimates of supply have not altered materially, being, including town-melted and wintering stocks, and deducting local coesump tion, about 103,000 casks for shipment. Imports: Olive oil, nominal at 10 to 9! ro. Sugars A large hu-ineu has been done, say about 10,000 boxes, at 25 to 251 ro. for White Havana*. Weather: The tint arrivals took place the 29 ult, o. 0. ; but as only 7 British vessels are yet in, freights are nominal. N.B.—ln addition to the stocks wintering in the warehouses, there are this year in second hands, detained by the sudden closing of the navigation, about 11,000 pds. 12-head, 68,800 Os. 9-head, and 16,500 oda. 6-head flax, and 13,600 pds. Tow and Codilla—about 35,000 pds. hemp (of which 27,000 pds. clean) ; and about 4,000 casks tallow—all against little or nothing last year. BRISTOL, MAT 27. St OAR.—Several vessels have arrived here from the West Indies this week, but their cargoes not being yet ready for the market, the transactions in British planta tion sorts since our last are again confined to new Bsrbadoes, fur which description there is a fair demand, and at fully former rates. In Mauritius we are without sales to report owing to the absence of a supply, bat a large business bas again been done in foreign at about former rates. For re finers' produce of ell kinds there has been en excellent de mand, and prices may be quoted the turn in favour of the sellers. In rum we have nothing to report. COTTON.—LiumtPoox, Max 28.—Tha market closed tamely and firmly without change in the quotations of yesterday. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, and com prised about 5,000 Americans (500 for export and 500 on speculation) ; 700 Pertain and klaranham, Std. to 71d. ; 300 Egyptian, bid. to 10d. ; 1,000 Surat, 3!(1. to 4td-; 40 Sea Islands, 2s. to 2s. 10d. MANCHESTER, MAY 24.—The market has not been quite so brisk as those of Thursday and Tuesday, but the advance of id. to per lb. on cotton yarns obtained on Tuesday may be considered fully established, and there is a large business doing. Yarns suitable to the India trade are scarce, and exporters generally are rather free buyers. Fine twist, counting from 90's to upward. of 1411's, warp and weft, are in goo.' request at very full rates, and doubled yarns are advancing in price. In cloths the de mand still runs upon the lighter fabrics; and madapollams, jaceonets, printers, and India qualities of shirtings, com mand the beat prices. A gradual bat slight advance is taking place in aU these cloths. WOOLLEN CLOTIL—LEEDS, MAY 27.—We have no change to report in the state of the market to-day. There has been only a moderate business done, quite as much ss could be expected, as there are many of the manufacturers absent from the warket attending the Loudon wool sales, and the coloured cloth hall is disarranged by the presence of workmen, who are whitewashing and cleaning the in terior of the premises, consequently the ordinary business of the market is considerably disturbed. The demand for the spring trade hiving been supplied, those warehou.es that are mainly engaged in that branch of the trade have had a flit and quiet week, but the shipping houses are doing a brisk trade in heavy goods. CORN.—Bowrox, Nay 28.—Our market to-day has been scantily supplied with Wheat, which met • fair demand at fuos.lly Wednesday's prices. Red, 465. to 47a. ed. ; white, 6 CAMIRITIOII, May 28.—Without a large supply of any thing, all Corn, except Oats, met a ready sale at a trifle more money than last meek. Wheat, 38,. to 425.

CastusLE, May 28.—The supply of grain in today's market was about a usual ge. Wheat and Oats were in demand, but Barley moved off more slowly, and at a slight decline. Prices: Wheat, white, 21s. to 21s 6d.; Barley, new, lle. 64. to 12e. Gd. ; Oats, potato, tie. Gd. to 9s. 9d. • common, Bs. to 9s.

GLonciavnu, May 28.—There was a good attendance of buyers at to-day's market, with but a short supply of English Wheat, for which very full prices wire paid. In foreign more business doing, and in some instances, Is. per quarter advance was established. Barley remains without alters. tion. Beans held for Is. per quarter more snooty. The supply of Oats was liberal, with a fair demand at full rates. Imports of the week ending May 28 : Wheat, 10,638 qrs. ; Barley, 120; Oats, 1,922; Beans, 1,491. GUILDFORD, May 28.—There was a good display of Wheat, but the quality being for the most part rough, it was very difficult of disposal. Prices were much the same as before. Wheat, 325. to 531. Barley, 265. to 325. Oats, 19s. to 235. Bean', 365. to 40s. HERTFORD, May 28.—The Wheat trade to-day tot brisk, still last weeks prices were supported ; supply gocd.

Peas, 22e. to 245. per load. Beans, 225. to 2is. Tares, 22a. to 255. Rye, 19s. to 21s. - - MANCHESTER, MAT 28. During the present week • firmer feeling has again beets experienced, and although the trade has been far from brisk, a fair con sumptive demand has existed for most articles, at fully pre 'lour prises. The arrivals of foreign wheat, Indian corn, and flour at Liverpool continue to a foie extent, but from other sources the supplies of all produce are scanty. Our market this morning was not active, but much firmness prevailed. The best runs of wheat, and approved quailtics of fresh flour were held for extreme rates. Oats and oat meal were is fair request, and the former article must again be noted the tura dearer. NEWCASTLE-LEON-TINE, May 28.—The trade during the present week has assumed more steadiness, and there has been more confidence exhibited generally than has been the cue fur some time past. In the absence of arrival' from the coast, fresh thrashed foreign Wheats (whether new or old) have been freely taken, superior new Wolgast red making 495. to 495. Gd. ; old, 48s. 6d. ' • new Stralsund,4Bs. Gd.; ' old, 483. • new Holftein, 455. Gd. to 465. Gd. per qr., accord ing to quality, all weighed 631bs. per bushel. Considerable inroads have also been made upon the stocks of Flour in warehouse, households commanding 335. to 335. 6d. word ins to condition and the time they have been in granny. , Rye has sold at an improvement of Is.per qr., and Resits have ' been sought after, but with respect to other articles no int provement either in value or demsnd has been perceptible. The advices received this morning from the B iltic are all of • very firm tenor, and it would appear that shipments for • time will be limited, wPhout prices in this country should . advance to such an extent as to induce holders ou the other side to make consignments. From Restock they write that Oats will have to be imported for their local consumption, whilst in some parts of the Continent Rye is selling at 361. per qr. At our market this morning we had a scanty show of WI. eat from the growers, as well as from the coast, but from abroad the arrivals are to a fair 'Meat, several large parcels basing dropped in which are not included iu our list of arrivals; nevertheltss, fresh Qualities, being wanted, were taken off freely at an advance of Is. to 21. per qr.; extra farmers' red, weighing 64lbs. per bushel and upwards, making 51c, and good rune, weighing 611b5., 48s, whilst the new foreign red met attention at 48s. 64. for new Stettin red, Stralsund, and Konigsberg, whilst for • superior lot of Wolgast 50s. was refused. For Flour we received a fair, steady inquiry, but any further attempt at advance was sternly resisted by the dealer., although it is not improbable that the rates at present demanded must be acceded shortly. Rye must be written Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer, the best heavy descriptions weighing about 60 lbs. per bushel being now saleable at 365. per qe. Grinding Barley in better request at 255. to 261. per qr., weighed o 6 lbs. per bushel. Malt without change, and the same remarks will apply to Deans and Peas. With Oats we were scantily suppiied, and all fresh qualities sold freely at a shade iu favour of the seller. Tho arrivals this week are: Wheat, coastwise, 3d qrs. ; foreign, 1,411 ; Rye, coastwise, 40 ; Malt, 25; Oats, o 28; Pea", foreign, 53; Beans, coastwise, 7; Flour , 1,179 sacks. Nottwicti, May 28.—At our market this day a thin attendanee•and a short supply of wheat induced our farmers to demand . more money, and this, in keeping with the tone of some of the leading markets, was ace:ceded to, though scarcely to the extent of Is. per quarter, considering im proved condition. Flour was in slow request at 6d. per sack advance, and but few f. o. b. sales were effected. Barley for grinding purposes was inquired for and fully late prices paid. Beans were a better offer and full prices paid. Peas scarce and no alteration in value. Oa $ were a good sale at late rates. We do not alter our quotations. PETERBOROUGH, May 28.—We had a fair supply of Wheat here to day, fine samples rather dearer, other sorts as last week. Grinding Barley fully 2s. per qr. lower. Oats unaltered in value. Beans ready sale at an advance of Is. per qr. READING, May 28.—Oar market exhibited a tolerable supply of Wheat, with a thin attentlence of buyers. Only the very best samples, of which there were but few, con mantled attention; those sold at fully last week's prices, while secondary qualities must be called from Is. to 24. per qr. lower. A shine supply of good English Oats, but the utf, r of several foreign samples checked any improvement in price. Other Corn without alteration. Wtsuzeu, May 28.—The supply of Wheat is fair for the time of Tear, but of other grain very short. Good fresh Wbcat is in demand and fully Is. per qr. dearer. Oats, Beans, and Barley find buyers at lest week's prices, with an advance of 6d. upon Oats. The Spring crops are suffering for want of rain. Woacr.svms, May 28.—Our market was fairly attended, and we bad an averege supply of Wheat, which was cleared off early at an improvement of Is. per qr. Barley held for rather more money. Oats realised quite as much money, but no advance could be obtained. Beane scarce, but no dearer. YORK, May 28.—We have only a small show of wheat which met a free sale at last wet k's prices. Beans rather d . In ether articles no alteration. Wheat, white, 495. to Ile. per imperial qr. ; red, 40a. to 48e. Beaus, 38s. to 40s. Malt, 58s. to 6th. Oats ' 9d. to 9id. per stone of 141bs. Flour, 3-ss. to 38s. per sack of 2801bs. WATERFORD, May 28.—Little addition has been made to our stocks of foreign grain since this day sennight, the ar rivals of both Wheat and Indian corn for the week being trifling. Our market has been characterised by less dulness than of late, and in most articles of the trade a steady busi ness has been done at about former prices. Wheat.—The finer qualities of foreign have been in improved request at our former quotations, and inferior samples met more in quiry at prices which were hardly obtainable on Saturday last. Barley has undergone no change. Oats in the early part of the week were very difficult of sale, except at reduced rates, but an active demand from some of the northern markets having sprung up during the last day or two, purchases cannot now be made on such easy terms. Indi in Corn has met a fair inquiry at 2d. to 3d. per barrel below the currency of this day se'nnight. Fleur unaltered in value. Imports this week : —Wheat, 800 qrs. • Indian Corti, 2,992 ; Flour, 10 sacks. Exports this wee k: Oats, 3,733 brls. Flour, I,o3osacks. KIRKCALDY, May 28.—At our country markets this week we had more inquiry for fresh Wheat and Oats than for some time past, and sales were readily made at from to 11. per qr. advance. Very little Barley, Beane, or Peas remain with farmers. Here to-day we bad small sup plies of all kinds of grain. We experienced a good local de mend, and prices for all qualities were in favour of sellers. Wheat, 425. to 50s. per qr.; Barley, 275. to 339. 041, 181. to 224.

LNDIA AND CHINA MARKETS. BOMBAY, APRIL 28. The brisk inquiry for piece goods, exhibited on the de parture of the last mail, has ceased entirely in consequence of the anzlety shown by importers to realize their stocks before the closing of the season, and take advantage of the favourable rate of exchange; lower rates have therefore been accepted on nearly all kinds of goods. GREY SIIIRTINEE, of 40 inch, and of 5} to Gib. have declined lf to 2 amiss per piece, 71bs. nearly 4 tunas, and those of above 71bs. G to 8 annas on the last mail's quo tation ; however the sales are nearly 12,500 pieces at rs 4 for a cloth of 1311bs. at rs. 511 anoU for one of 9} lbs. A similar depression is perceptible on shirtings of 45 inches. GREY DIADAPoLLAMS, so eagerly inq.iired for before the last nxtil I-ft, have given way about If anuas per piece, on the late advance, and are not now asked for. GUST DOMESTICS AND T CLOTHS chow a decline on former pikes. ORIST JACCONETS, excepting those of light make, are difficult of sale at losing price. BLEACHED Goons, of all descriptions, remain as per last reported, without any improvemrnt. In TCHICEY RED GOODS, no Niles. MULE TWIST has revived a shade in value on last quo tations, while water has declined proportionately. METALS, notwithstanding so limited a stock here, with such high price in England, show no improvement. Bern is expected to be dear in Bombay this year, in con sequence of the difficulty in securing tonnage in England to Intent out here. Ix Correa* little harbeen done since the arrival of the last steamer from China, bringing such discouraging ac counts of the price of that article there ; for althongh stocks are fast accumulating, and few shipments going on either to England or China, holders are firm, and the price has not declir.ed more than 2 or 3 Rs. per candy ; they ask Rs. 99 for Broach and Jumbooser Cotton, Rs. 97 fur Surat, Ds. 94 to 95 for Dhollerah, and Its. 90 per candy for Oomrawutty cotton. The maintenance of these prices having deterred shippers from sending on the staple, freights suddenly fell to 41. per ton, at which all the shipping in the harbour was taken up. }lutetium have again advanced and tonnage cannot be had to Liverpool or London for less than 41..55. per ton. In consequence of the recent unfavourable intelligence from China, freight is not much sought for, and may now be quoted at rs. 16 to 17 per candy. EXCHANGE t,ll England has for some time back been steadily advancing, and most transactions for this mail have been done at 2s. lad. per rs. at 0 months' sight for Baring Brother.' credits—with the usual difference for local drafts, and those secured by shipping documents.
