The agitation was augmenting, both in interest and extent. The arrival of the intelligence of the pro ceedings of the capital in the provinces was followed by a sympathetic movement there. The various con stithencies of the departments were preparing ad dresses to their respective representatives in the Chamber, exhorting them to resist, by all legal means, and with firmness, the preten sion of the government to suppress the right of pubic meeting. Two of these addresses had arrived, one from Chatre to M. Duvergier d' 3:lauranne, and the other from Amiens, to M. Acton, to be communicated by him to the opposition gene. ra;ly, to whom it is addressed. These documents bear the sieuatui es of bankers, municipal councillors, coun crUlors of arrondissements, advocates, officers of the national guard. merchants, and in general of electors. Other addressee are expected hourly, from Orleans, Blois, Tours, Rouen, Havre, Arras, and numerous other centres of population and wealth in the pro vinces. It is intimated that deputations will be sent to Paris to represent, at the intended reform ban quet, the chief provincial towns which are sufficiently accessible to the capital. It was rather um xpe:tedly announced on Thursday night, that the reform banquet of the 12th arron diaeement, which was fixed for Sunday, in the Champs Elysees, was postponed till the first days of the wick, and that the place at which it was to be place was not yet fixed. It is said, however, that it will be held on Tuesday. The National establishes its charge against the agents of the government of having packed, or at tempted to pack, a company of the national guard, partly through the instrumentality of one of the editors of the Journal des Debate, by publishing the memorandum of a meeting of the officers of the com pany on which this experiment was attempted to be practised, and in which the said editor is a serjeant. Intelligence was received by the French govern ment from Florence on Thursday evening that the grand duke had, on the 11th, announced his nitration of granting a representative constitution to the duchy. Another telegraphic despatch has brought the in telligence that the constitution was published at Naples on the 11th, amidst the greatest enthusiasm of the people. Letters from Padua, of the Bth, bring intelliL of a serious collision, which took place in that city between the people and the students of the university on the one side, and the Austrian soldiers on the other. It appears that for some weeks put the mili tary had been constantly provoking the students and citizens; the scandal caused by these provocations was such, that the rector of the university repaired to Venice, in order to request that an end should be put to the arrogance of this enraged militia. Ha returned on the 7th, and, haranguing the students, he informed them of the step he had taker, and of the gracious assurances he had received at Venice, when, on a sudden, the students were at tacked, on their leaving the university, by a body of soldiers. They defended themselves; the people took their part, and a bloody conflict ensued. Mean while another body of soldiers entered the Café Pedroechi, and threatened the citizens who were there with drawn sabres ; hat the latter, armed them selves with the different objects which were at hand, and made a most vigorous resistance. The soldiers then fired. The result of this fusillade can be easily conceived : a great number of persons were killed or mortally wounded. The tocsin was rung; the conflict spread to several parts of the town, and continued for three hours. The peasantry. on hearing the bell, hastened, in arms, to the different gates of the city ; but found them all guarded by the artillery. • Two captains, four officers, and about a score of *ol dies were killed on the spot. The losses on the side of the inhabitants were still greater ; it is presumed more than one hundred persons have been killed or wounded. At Como and Brescia similar scenes are reported to have taken place on the same day. At Pavia likewise, on the Bth, a conflict took place, which is thus described in a letter of that date : PAYIx, Fee. 13.-0 ur town loin great agitation ; a long con flict between the students and the Austrians has just filled its streets with blood. Some students and ciiizens were fol lowing a funeral, when some officers joined the pious ror- Oge, smoking. They were driven hack from it. They drew their sabres, and, a combat having ensued, fired ; the i con fl ict then became general. A very great number of the Citliellll ware seriously wounded, and seven kill. d on the spot. It is ra'd that the losses of the Austrian militia have been equally great. Despatches received from Berne, to the 15th, have brought a copy of the draft of a note which the Diet proposes to address to the repre_entatives of France, Austria, and Prussia, in answer to the notes lately sent by these powers to the federal government. This document is too long to give it in extenw. Its tone is courteous, but firm. It expresses the thanks of the government for the solicitude expressed by the powers for the tranquillity and well being of the con federation. It gives the powers every assurance that the federal government is able and desirous to main tain tranquillity within the territory of the confede racy, and that its ability to accomplish this will be materially strengthened by the respect I, which foreign powers will show for the in dependence of Switzerland, an independence which is guaranteed by the act of neutrality of the 20th November, 1815, which proclaims " Swit zerland to be independent of all foreign influence." In a word, this note informs the powers, with the utmost courteousness, that Switzerland can manage her own concerns, and that the other powers of Earepe have no business to meddle in her domestic concerns. This note was submitted to the Diet on the 15th, by M. Bourgomaster Furrer, of Zurich, formerly prest- I dent of the Diet. The debate in the Diet on the subject of this doca ment was to commence immediately. The Committee of Kite pmpooed that extraordinary measures Fhould be taken to give authentic reports of this discussion, and, with that view, two short. hand writers were ex pressly engaged, one to report in German and the other in French. FURTHER EXI'III;SS FROM PARIS. Our Paris letters of yesterday evening have arrived. It was still doubtful what the definitive arrangements for the approaching demonstration would be ; but our correspondent writes, that a proposition of a measure of compromise had been made to the committee on the part of the government—to the effect that, on the assembly being collected, and previously to the own mencemi TA of the banquet, a commissary of police, attended by some agents of the civil force, should pre sent himself and require the meeting to disperse; Oust on receiving a refusal he should draw up a proves verbal of the circumstances, which being signed, the police should withdraw, and the banquet proceed. 4 4,1971/011* Waßikihm rest with the government, to ' be bileeest 'before the tribunal, which would have to decide ea the legality of the meeting after the notice to disperse being given by the police. The impremica produced by the aspect of political affairs at the Bourse has been evident. A progres sive fall has been manifested from day to day. The closing prices of Wednesday, Thursday, and yesterday (Friday), were 74.30, 74.05, and 73.85. The decline yesterday was gradual, from the opening at 74.10 to the closing at 73.85, being a fall of a quarter on Thurs day's prices, and nearly one-half on those of Wed nesday. Psnia, Faa. ts.

PROGRESS OF ITALIAN REGENERATION. It is stated that the daily cost of the Austrian army in Italy is 100,000 florins per day. Bank notes being refused by sellers, the government of Vienna has been obliged to send recently to Milan nearly six millions of florins in silver for the pay of the troops. The Augsburg Gazette of the 13th, under the date of Milan, says—" The situation here becomes daily more alarming. The explosion has not yet taken place, bat no one can suppose that things can con tinue long as they are. The military are goaded to desperation. The very children insult them iu the streets. The waiters refuse to attend them in the rafts unless they address them in Italian. The sol diers of course are furious. The government has permitted fifty ladies to go about making collections for the poor. It is affirmed that these ladies are the agents by which the revolutionary party circulates its instructions. What can the government do? If it withdraw the authority it has given, a cry will be raised against tyranny and oppression. Such is the situation of the finest country in the world. We have no doubt of the issue of the conflict, but we lament the misfortune which most attend it." Letters from Mantua report serious quarrels which broke out between the Austrians and the native soldiers, in consequence of the expression of fled , mai sentiments on the part of the !atter. In one of there erneutes one Hungarian corporal was killed. The soldiers have been ordered not to appear in the streets except in parties of three at least together, for mutual protection. This has not prevented renewed conflicts, and some of the regiments were removed to another place. We learn that the Austrian government, having ascertained that considerable numbers of Swiss citi zens have been enrolled for military service under the different states of Italy, has transmitted to the federal government a note declaring that the continuation of such enlistments will be regarded by the imperial go vernment as a eases belli. The anticipations of our correspondent as to the speedy establishment of a constitutional governmer: in the states of the church, are, it would appear, cou firmed. We are assured that the French governmi has received despatches which leave no doubt of intention of Pius IX. to give a constitution to his states not less liberal than those granted in Sardinia, Tuscany, and Naples. - - -- - ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. A weekly council was held at the society's house, in HaneTePequeTe, on Wednesday last, the 16th February. Present: Mr. Raymond Barker, in the chair ; Mr. Almack, Mr. Basanquet, Mr. Burke, Mr. Branson, Y.P. , Colonel Challoner, Mr. Fuller, M. P., Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Mr. Wren Hoebyna, Mr. Hudson, of Castleacre, Rev. C. E Keene, Mr. Kinder, Mr. Miles, M.P., Mr. Majendie, Mr. C. Miles, Mr. Parkins, Profeasor Sewell, Mr. R. Smith, Professor Simonds, Mr. H. Tull, Mr. T. R. Tweed, Professor Way, and Mr. Webster. The following new members were elected:—The Hon. Col. Henry Hely Hutchinson, Weston-kouse, Towceater, Northampton; Thomas Bowyer Bower, Twenae-house, Blandfind, Dorset; Warm Read Bell, Gillingtam, Shaftes bury, Dorset; Edward Waterhouse, Liverpool; Rev. Wil. lino Blennerheseet, Tweme Vicarage, Blandford ; Horsy Grimes Farmer, Haven-farm, Tickhill, Yorkshire ; Wiliam Matchett, Norwich ; Joseph Marshall, Ashgruve, Yorkshire; James Sidgreaves, Fishergate, Preston, Lan cashire; John Tanqueray, Hendon Middlesex. The names of 14 candidates for election at the next meet log were then read. YHOsPEATE or Ling.—Profaner Wee, the consulting chemist to the society, brought under the notice of the council some discoveries lately made by Mr. Paine, of Farn ham, in Surrey, which, in Prof. War a:opinion, were likely to prove of great importance to practical agriculture. Mr. Paine had been induced to examine the subsoil of some parts of his estate, and had been fortunate enough to find large quantities of organic remains, consisting chi fly of phosph..to of lime, the principal mineral ingredient, as it was well known, of bones. These remains were fou nd in the land in two distinct geological formations ; namely. in the upper and lower green sand, but more particularly in the latter. Prof. Way stated that these beds would, he had no doubt, be economically worked, and that an abundant source of phosphate of lime would be obtained at a moderate price for all those agricultual perpooss for which the mineral constituents of bones had by experience been found to prove so beneficial. ARTIFICIAL DESICCATION.—Mr. Webster called the at tention of the council to a new system of drying animal and vegetable substances by means of rapid currents of hot sir parsed through chambers in which such substances were in closed, which he conceived would prove,in many instances, of great advantage in reference to agricultural produce. He exhi bited specimens of various kinds of wood exposed in a green state to the influence of hot air in this process ; and which in one week had become perfectly hard, dry, and solid, basing lost a considerable amount of weight by the abstraction of mole- ture, and being left in a state only slightly susceptible of re absorbing it. The articles to be dried were exposed to the currents of hot air (varying front 100 deg. to 450 deg. Fehr.) in a brick chamber, 10 feet wide, 15 feet deep, and 20 feet ' long, erected at an expense of 1501. to 2001. Mr. Webster was engaged in experiments on the application of this process bt agricultural purposes ; and would report to the Council the re-ult. In the meantime, it had been advantageously applied to wood of all kinds; to tiles and bricks, and parsnip meat ; to turnip ( , mangold wurzel, carrots, and paps ; t 4 mouldy hay (which it rendered perfectly dry and sweet), and mouldy or mildewed Wheat; as well es to damp and misted feathers and linen. AUSTRALIAN WIIEAT.—MT. FULLER, M.P., and Mr. PARKINS reported similar 'tuxes in their trials of the Australian wheat and barley forwarded to the council and distributed among the members for cultivation, ' namely, that the wheat was a failure in their cases, but the barley most successful, yielding a large crop, and of a quality better suited for the maltster than any they had tried. Mr. Fuller also reported favourably of the Silesian Beet he had tried, and of his carrot crop, and his successful growth of the drum-headed cabbage. Ile at tributed his exemption to disece prevailing in his neighbour hood is the turnips, to his employment of sulphuric acid and hones. Mr. Robt. Smith bore testimony to the peculiar value of that application, a crop of his in Ruthoadehire having pr mod a most remarkable one from that treatment. An interesting discurioti tten ensued on the rotting of turnips, and on the lust mode of cultivation to be adopted as preventative of such result, in which Mr. Kinder, Colonel Challoner, Mr. Miles, M.P., and Mr. Raymond Barker communicated the plans which they recommended as the result of their own respective experience on the subject. Colonel Challoner re lateda striking instance that had come under hia observation of the value of rooks in extracting grubs from the roots of turnips, every turnip on the field to which he alluded, where the beak of a rook had not been inserted, having been found to be eankered with the grub they had not extracted, in such cases, as they had done from the other turnips of the crop which were found quite sound. MISCELLANEOUS COKMUNICATIONS.—Mr. Chadwick's offer to attend and explain the construction and advantage of • draining level.—Count Gripenberg's application in refer ence to his sowing machine—Mr. Turner's communication of a copy of a translation into Welch of the Cottage Tract on Gardening, published in the society's journal.—Mr. Fisen's suggestion on selection of grain fur crops.—Mr. Henry Wil son's communication from the Rev. Copinger Hill, on the discordant statements of Von Timer and Johnson on the equivalent of wheat corresponding to 100 of hay ; and his suggestion for prizes on the subject, to induce further ex periment.--Lord Kenyon's transmission of a portion of a stratum of earth resting on marl near Wrexham.—Among the numerous presents made to the society were the Trans actions of the Agricultural Societies of Lyons, Vienna, and St Petersburg. The Council adjourned to Wednesday e--' the 23rd last. CRUELTY TO Swears.—ln defiance of the law pro hibiting the sending of boys up chimneys, it appears the other day a poor child was forced up a chimney which was on fire in Lincoln . the intense heat compelled him to re turn. To extinguish the blaze, w parties were down the obliged to sca y : le the roof of the house and poor ater chiruno however, they mistook the chimney, and poured the water down that of the next house : the inmates were sitting very quietly, when they were astounded with a rush of water and soot, and it is stated that they scampered off proclaiming that the devil had entered the room. CAUTION TO NEGLIGENT PARISH OFFICERS.—At the I Melton Mowbray County Court, last week, an action was brought against Mr.W.Holmes, surveyor of highways at Seal ford, for 131.105., by Mr. Spicer, carrier from Statbern to Mel ton, for damage done to his van in consequence of its upsetting near Scalford Wsandyke, mused by the sbamet.tl state of the r .ad. The ease was fully proved by all the witnesses who were riding in and on the van at the titne, and who state itsd that the cart-ruts were so deep that this van fell over on ride. Mr. Wm. Draper, of Melton, also stated that he had been thrown out of a gig, in the same place, front the same cause. The judge (Mr. Hildyard), alter aeverely repri manding the surveyor, ordered him to pay to the plaintiff forthwith two-thirds of the amount claimed, and the ex penses. All the oasts of this conviction will come out of the surveyor's own os cooket. It w il l, it is expee's 1, operate as a w arning, not to hi., but to several of his neighbours whose roads are in a bad state. 'IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAT, FIB. 18. The Loan CaAWCILLOit took his seat at five o'clock. NATIONAL DEFENCES. 'The Earl of HARDWICKE said, it would be a eonveni te know whether the government intended to oppose a motion of which be had given notice for Friday next ? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, who was inaudible, was understood to decline answering the question. The Earl of HARDWICKE had known suc► questions put before, but if he had been aware that he was infringing as the customs of the house, or in any way out of order in putting such a question, he would have abstained from dung so. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to say that be was unable to answer the question at present, if the noble lord ►ad been in order in putting it, DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS (COURT OF ROME) BILL. On the order of the day being read for going into committee this bill, Earl FITZWILLIAM said, he entirely approved of the measure. The noble lord opposite, the leader of the opposi tion, thought it of little importance whether this country en tered into diplomatic relations with a email state in the Mediterranean or not ; hut he (Earl Fitxwilliam) thought it a matter of great consequence, the more especially so Europe perhaps was on the eve of a great struggle between absolute government on the one hand and free institutions on the other, and it was therefore the more d. sizable that we should be on diplomatic terms with all the nations of the continent. The right way of framing the bill haters the house would be to declare that there existed doubts oaths aubjeet, and it was desirable that they should be removed.= that her Majesty might be enabled to have diplomatic rela tions with Rome : and at the proper time he should propels to make en alteration to that effect in the preamble. He thought, however, it would be better to leave out the whole of tie preamble and substitute en entirely new one. Loud CAMPBELL agreed that there was nothing in the common law or in thestatute-boa to prevent her Majesty from having diplomatic relations with Rome. He had always tome to that conclusion, upon a consideration of the subject. He had expressed that opinion both in and out of that house, and be was glad to find that although he had been formerly opposed in that view, a estiority of their lordships now agreed with him in that opinion. Lord STANLEY thought it would be better to steam out the whole of the preamble, and substitute one reciting, that as doubts had existed on the subject it was expedient that they should be removed, " he it therefore enacted," and so on. Earl FITZWILLTAM read the alteration which he pro pped to make in the preamble. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rather preferred the pre amble suggested than that which at present existed, and he should be very glad to see it adopted. Lord STANLEY said eonlots had certainly existed as to the construction of the acts in question, and he did not be lieve there was any man who would not say so. Upon that subject there could be but one opinion. He thought it would be better to strike out the wor.:s " in the said recited acts or any other," and let the preamble read, "notwithstanding anything new contained in any act now in force." In 'Mester to a question from Lord REDISSDALIS, Lord CAMPBELL said the power of appointing ambassa dors was not given by act of parliament, but it was vested in the sovereign by prerogative. The Bishop of EXETER thought it would be desirable merely to say that it was expedient to allow her Majesty to enter into such diplomatic relations without mentioning a word as to ambassadors. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE made an observation, which was inaudible in the gallery. Tile Bishop of WINCHESTER said the suggestion of the noble marquis did not remove the objection which be had to the words ' sovereign pontiff;" instead of which he would propose to substitute the words "sovereign of the Romp states." (Hear, hear.) The Bisho of ST. DAVID'S, while their lordships were on this subject, would remark that he had felt some what hurt at the observations made by the right rev. prelate (the Bishop of Exeter) last night, reflecting on his character as a bishop, and in a tone and manner not the most suasive or bland. It was a mere verbal question, and it would have been rash for any one, except the right rev. prelate to under take to instant a negro lee argument extending over go wide aeaags of reading. He had made slight research, and had llnead that the words " sovereign pontiff " ' had been twice seedby Heine, the historian (who, if not a protestent, cer tainly was not a catholic), in describing some events in the reigns of Henry 11. and John. Dr. Robertson had also used the words " holy see," in the course of some general remarks on Rome. The righ. rev. prelate, who was very indistinctly heard, was understood to reflect somewhat severely on the Bishop of Exeter for the tone and manner which he had adopted in so trifling • matter so a mere question of words— it wes an outburst of holy indignation on so trivial a gees tion which would not be likely to serve the cause of truth. The Bishop of EXETER was not in the slightest degree convinced by the statement la his right rev. friend, or he would have made him as ample so apology, as he had ventured to cep• sure him—for, he would admit, it was a censure—the previous night. lie still thought that from the tine of his right rev. friend's observations on the previous evening, he was called spent° make the remarks of which he now complained. There IRIS SO "sovereign poatiff " according to the doctrine of the posestant chnrch. Lord COLCHESTER supported the amendment. 1 The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the term 1 " sovereign pontiff" had been introduced into the bill be ' sense it was understood to be the ordinary appellation of the sovereign of the Roman states. If, however, it was sup posed in any way to recognise his spiritual supremacy, he should be happy to remove all doubt by adopting the words "sovereign of the Roman states." (Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON thought the words " sovereign of the Roman states" were to be preferred, be cease the object of the bill was to regulate political inter. course only with Rome. (Hear, hear.) The amendment was then agreed to. The Earl of EGLINO lON proposed the clause of which he had given notice, to the effect that no ecclesiastic should be appointed as envoy or ambemador to this country from Rome. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE having adverted to the necessity for diplomatic relations with Rome, said he would not go into a &mission of what might be the general or per sonal qualification of any person who might be selected by the Pope fee carrying on a diplomatic relation with this country. The noble marquis expressed a hope that the re striction suggested would not be adopted. If it was, it would be much better there was no act upon the subject at all, for it would be perfectly nugatory. The Earl of ABERDEEN rose to record his vote in favour of the amendment. He had had very considerable expe rience, and he sincerely deprecated the residence of a Papal nuncio in this country--(hear, hear)—not from any anti catholic feelings upon his part; for all his life be was in favour of the removal of Roman catholic disabilities ; but his objection eded entirely from the great inconvenience to which pr th oc e r esidence of a nuncio in this country mast necessarily lead. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought it desirable that the question of the rank and description of the persons to be appointed should stand entirely open. (Hear.) Lord BEAUMONT expressed his regret and surprise at the reasons assigned by the noble lords opposite for their opposition to the measure as it was proposed. His considered it not only expedient, but necessary and most important that there should be a diplomatic connexion established between this country and Rome. If no other advantage was to be reaped from it than to deprive Dr. tigiale, and other such persons, of the opportunity of making misrepresentations respecting the state of Inland, the measure would be of the utmostuseand importance. The party who objected to the measure out of doors, were the ultra protestant), and the ultra Roman catholic party in Ireland, no doubt for opposite—very opposite—reasons. The one because they imagined the mea sure would give their upponenrs more power, and the ultra Roman esthetics opposed it because they knew they would lose much of their influence acquired by the means sad facilities now afforded them, to make the grossest mierepre meatiest at Rome. The Boni cf SHREWSBURY opposed the amend ment, which would, in his opinion, render the whole mea sure nugatory. He wicked to see a diplomatic relation established between this country and Rome, upon principles of perfect reciprocity. A protestant might be appointed from this country, and why should there be any restriction es to the class or description of the person to be appointed as the reprematative of Rome ? Lord STANLEY said that he spoke for himself and for the people of this country when he expressed his opinion that this amendment was of the greatest importance, and he con sidered it of such importance that be should be mainly in fluenced in his ultimate course by its adoption or re jection by this house. The noble earl wbo had just sat down said that it would not only take away the grace of the measure, but render it entirely useless.. So far as there was any ground of offence on the part of the popish court, the Prussian government were equally open to the charge. In the year 1845, the Russian government was asked to receive a nuncio from Rome, and what was the answer ? That Russia was ready to stead on the same foot ing of entire reciprocity. The answer was, " Send us a lay envoy, and we will send one to Rome." He opposed the rejection of the amendment as injurious to the peace and welfare of the protestant community of this country. Lord CLAN RICARDE complained of the amendment, because it fettered the crown without fettering any other PartY. The Duke of RICHMOND said that the crown was al ready very much lette•ed as regarded the Roman catholics, and if this fetter .as t ken off it would be in future taken as a precedent for removing the others. The Earl of lIARROWBY said a few words in support of the amendment. Lord CAMPBELL said that the real question was, whe ther they were to prevent the crown from usiog its usual prerogative and to en. cell on the law of nations, which lie thought they would do by carrying the amendment, which on that ground he opposed. The Doke of WELLINGTON proposed the introduction of the words "diplomatic relations," w would remove the necessity for carrying the amendment. hich After a few words front the Earl of SHTLEWSBURY and Earl FinwiLmass, who, though he felt considerable object tion to see an ecclesiastical official from the church of R obe , in this country, TM opposed the amendment, becaus thought it would limit to too great a degree the power of the worn, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he, on the part of the government, adopted the suggestion of the noble duke. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished, before their lordships proceeded to a division, to ask the noble marquis I (Lansdowne) how the proposed alteration of Use terms of the bill, by introducing the words ' diplomatic relations," was to bars the effect of the c lause proposed as an armament by his noble friendis (Lord Eglintoa). assured The *ar of LANSDOWNE the noble esti VW he had en never said, or meant IQ my, thin Om introdno- lii t u~~~~~~~ 0.461.] LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 19,1848.

Oats, coming very sparingly to hand, fully maintained our last currency, and very fine well prepared mailers may be deemed the turn dearer. Oatmeal ruled nearly the same as last noted.

Two &Clock. —The financial exposition of the premier last evening, so soon as it could be read and digested this morning, seemed to be felt as a " heavy blow and great discouragement " on the stock market, and more especially by the speculators, who stand compromised by extensive operations for the rise. Console, horn 891 to 891, de scended to 891 sellers at one time, but have recently recovered to 897 to 1, as the now remain, both for money and account. RucedThrees 891 to L. 'Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 901 to 1. March Exchequer Bills advertised 235. to 275. ; the June Bills, 28s. to 301. pm. Bank Stock, 200 to 202. As we write, Consols are reported to be again on the rise, and quoted 891 to t, with a firm market. We are without any particular variation in foreign securities. With the exception of Mexican, in which some dealings are reported, and which were saleable at 19, with a fair demand, we have little business doing. Spanish are dull, at 201 to 1 for the Fives, and 311 to 1 for the Threes ; Passive, 41 to 5. Por tuguese, 251 to 81. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 531 to 41 ; the Fours, 8.51 to 1. Belgian, 89 to 91. Brazilian, 85 to 7. Buenos Ayres, 30 to 3. Chiller., 90 to 2. Venezuela, 38 to 40. It is rumoured that the Bank, in concert with the government, of course, is assisting the speculations for a rise in the funds, so as to render the proposition of an increased levy of taxation on property and income, the latter especially, apparently less odious in the eyes of the public than, had stocks been left to find their natural level, would have resulted as the de claration of real feeling on the Stock Exchange. So long as the Bank will advance upon stock, and money is easy in the house, speculators will be enabled, by borrowing, to carry forward their operations in sup port of higher prices, probably for the present account at least.

Yarns cannot be sold at remunerating prices, and consequently the consumption of deep-grown combing Wools is so curtailed that the stocks of this kind are accu mulating.
