The fonds to-day are doll, with little business. After receding per cent., prices are now quoted the same as they closed yesterday. The market for English railway stocks is better. Consols have been quoted 961 to and are now quoted 981 to I for money and Thursday next. The transfer books of the Reduced Three per Cents. and New Three per Cents. are now open for private transfer : the former have been dealt in at 961 to ex div., and the latter also at 931 to 1 ex div. ; Bank Stock, is marked 221 ex div. ; Exchequer Bills, 35e. to 38s. prem. ; India Bonds, 20s. prem., being firmer; and Exchequer Bonds, 1859, 1001 to 101. Turkish Six per Cents. remain dull at 1001 to 1011. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are weaker. In other foreign stocks the variation in price is unimportant. Sales are tecorded u follows :—Brazilian Five per Cents., 101 ; Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 78; Chiller' Six per Cents., 103 ex div.; Danish Three per Cents., 82 ex div.; New Granada Two-and- Quarter per Cent. Active Bonds, 191; Mexican Three per Cents., 191 ; ditto for account, 191 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for account (16th April), 82 to 821; ditto Four.and-a-Half per Cent. Dollar Bonds, 67 (Exchange, 45.) ; Portuguese Three per Cents.,lB63, 461; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 to 1001 Sardinian Five per Cents., 90/ to 911 ; Spanish Three per Gents., for ace., 44; Turkish Six per Cents., 101 to 1001 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 104 ; Venezuela Four-and-Three-quarter per Cents., 311 ; ditto Deferred Two per Cents., 121. At Paris to-day (Tuesday), according to M. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rental opened at 89.66 for the account, showing a decline of 6c. The telegram states " little doing; heavy." There is a prospect of an increased demand for money in the Stock Exchange, in connexion with the payment of the first instalment of 20 per cent. on the Indian loan. It is not overlooked that this payment is fixed for the " settling day" in Consols, viz., Thursday next. Bankers and others who have lent money in the Stock Exchange may also perhaps withdraw a portion, to make the payment on the new Indian Debentures. The steamer Africa has taken out 84,2121. in specie for New York, but the miss of bullion deposited in the Bank of England is so large that even a continuance of moderate shipments for some weeks could not produce any inconvenience. Thursday next is also the day for the commence ment of the dividend payments at the Bank of England. Atthe Bank yesterday the applications for discounts were upon a moderate scale. In the open market • good demand was experienced, and the current rate for good bills is somewhat higher, at 2j to 21 per cent. Several transactions took place yesterday in the scrip of the new Indian loan. The closing quotation was 981 to 1, or about per cent, above that of Thursday. The it of two commercial failures hu had the usual effect of making rumour busy with other names. A report that an important firm largely engaged in the brewing trade is in :difficulties is understood to be unfounded, and to have originated in some alterations in the partnership. Of the 85,0001. in gold ex the steamer Atrato, from the West Indies, the bulk is expected to be sent to the Continent. The steamer Solent, which had not arrived at St. Thomas's before the departure of the Atrato steamer with the last homeward West India mails, is re ported to have reached Havana on the 13th of March, after a most boisterous passage from the latter place to the Gulf of Mexico and back. Bad weather prevented the embarkation of treasure at Tampico, but she shipped 78,086 dole. at Vera Cruz. The Havana Shipping List states that she sailed on the 14th of Match from that port for St. Thomas's. The monthly return of the Bank of France will I be published next Friday morning. The wheat market yesterday was firm, and a trifle dearer than on last Monday. The number of float ing cargoes of grain arrived at ports of call since last Friday is 27. The next quarterly sales of indigo are fixed to commence on the 11th May. The ship Juanita has arrived from China, with 440,6001b0. of tea. Pernambuco Railway shares fell yesterilayafternoon to 11 to 11 dis., and were quoted after the recognised hours 11 to 1 dis. That this depreciation, which is discreditable, considering the high estimation of the Brazilian government guarantee, is solely attributable to the unsuccessful management of the undertaking, is indicated by the fact that the shares in the Bahia Railway, the guarantee of which is exactly similar, are comparatively . steady, at par to 4 prem., although undoubtedly prejudiced by the discredit of the Penambnco Company. The Brighton Railway traffic return presents an increase of 2,8791. _ _ The decrease shown in the weekly traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada is 1,6011. The meeting of the London General Omnibus Company, which was called for the 31st March, at Paris, was postponed until the 21st inst., the number of shares deposited for attendance at the meeting being less than is required by the statutes. On the 21st the proceedings will be valid, however small may be the attendance. It cannot be too often pointed out that English shareholders in French companies possess practically no control whatever over the management. It is very reasonably asked why does not the London General Omnibus Com pany abandon its French organisation, and enrol itself under the Limited Liability Act ? Such a step would give the shareholders some voice in the ma nagement, and would involve a saving of several thousand pounds per annum. The shares in this company continue to droop, and closed this afternoon at sk to Si per 41. share. The Cape Town Railway and Dock Company have received the following from Messrs. Reid and Co., the solicitors to the company in Cape Town, under date of February 20th : Mr. Brownger has completed the survey, and is now busy, with the auletance of Messrs. Fletcher and Canvin, in making his calculations. These will be completed probably is the course of a week, when he will send in his tender to the Governor, who is now on the frontier, from whence he is ex pected in • few days. Parliament meets next mouth, pre viously to which we hope everything will have bees arranged. A vacancy in the direction of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, occasioned by the death of Sir Robert Campbell, Bart., has now to be filled up. The half-yearly meeting of the Globe Insurance Company , is called for the 16th of April. Subscriptions are invited to complete the capital (10,0001.) of the Metropolitan Bath Company. A large bath establishment is already in coarse of con struction, at the corner of Bury and Jermyn streets. MONDAY Fumes, The funds to-day were heavy. After an extreme fall of f per cent., the market closed 1 per cent. lower than on Thursday, with a fiat appearance. The principal cause of the decline was the state of the speculative account, in anticipation of the ap proaching settlement. Consols, which closed on Thursday at 961 tot for money and next Thursday's settlement, open this morning at 961 to 1, receded to 961, " and closed at 961, "buyers." After the close of the Stock Exchange the quotation wu 96 7-16 to 9-18, or exactly 961, for the present account, and 961 to 1 for the Bth May. The " continuation " was quoted 3-16 to 1 per cent. Turkish Six per Cents. were weaker to-day; the closing quotation was 1001 to 1011, being 1 per cent. below that of Thursday. Peruvian Four-and-e.- Half per Cents. were also flatter, the purchases for the Sinking Fond having been discontinued during the last few days. It is not believed, however, that ?AMMON NEWNAN AND THE POI.II7OAL PROSECUTIONS. • The following is an extract from a letter addressed by Profiveor Presets W. Newman, of L'olverrity College, to • member of the Truelove Defame Committee : The topics which I should myself wish to press on the public are these: .1. No branch of morals is in • more chaotic state than the ethics of war. The Quakers deny entirely that any war, even &heave, is right. Other Christians have most per pleas& notions as to what legitimately constitutes a state of war, and how fur war changes the right and wrong of taking Item life. Unless absolutely free expression of opinion cm this subject Is allowed, we ma year (collectively and stably) Male truth. To howl down by execration, or to prosecute by law a man who endeavours to clear up these gosilloes, Will bring no decision, but will propagate doubt. " 2. Even if • man is legally condemned sea Moe, it is permitted to every Englishman to argue against the law which condemned him, and to leek its repeal on the ground of its being unjust, or its punishments excesaiva In this way have the Game Laws been reasoned 'phut, and a large part of our old criminal law. Thus, even if Orsini had made his attempt against the French Emperor on English soil, it net only would have been open to his advocate on the trial to argue that the homicide would have been justifiable (and, if he could, to convince the jury of it), but after cos deemation, it would still have been open to us all to mama against the law as over-severe, or as fundamentally mk t en. If Mr. Adam. may not endeavour to convince us that Orsini's deed, though punishable and punished at law, is not morally wrong, I do not see how Englishmen can re tain the right of moulting the law at all. Free moral ce hi dden le effectually stopped. 3. In the particular case of tyrannicide, the despotism thus exerted over the press is the more startling: sad un endurable, because the sentiment which is now prosecuted at law is that which for ages predominated among Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans, the three nations which have been the chief feeders of our moral and intellectual life. The very motto of Mr. Adams is taken from the Old Tsetemant. If we have now outgrown certain sentiments and jiggered!, of those three nations, and count them to ba errors, it is rather too much to prosecute, or rather persecute, those who hold to the opinion that Lynch law against • tramonable usurper is better than no law at all. 4. That the Roman people are in actual war with France, so long as French armies are In hostile occupation of Roman soil, and that such • elate of war juatiflee every Roman In deadly attacks, open or secret, on the life of hail who steno pleased and sustains the war, is an opinion which, right or wrong, it mum be perfectly free to every Englishman to maintain, unless our press is to be degraded to the level of the French, and all manly utterances of freedom be for idden. "Will not some Enlace be fotmd at the English bar to •peak at uam Mr. Truelove's legal defame, and also the indignation of a free heart sgainst this ignoble attempt to please one guilty man by the sacrifice of uur English birth i;ght THE LONDON FIRE BRIGADE.

DEATH or X. W. DOBAITe, Eng.—Oar readers of all political parties will regret to learn that the death of Mr. Roberta occurred on Friday last, after so ilium of two or three days ally. Ile had been for many yews at the heed of oar of the oldest and most respectable banking firms in the kingdom, and held a high position for integrity and ' sound judgment in the financial world, while in private His he was universally esteemed by those who knew him. In several former parliaments he represented with efficiency ' and to the credit and advaatagn of the constituency and the oaths at liege, the borough of Maidstone, to which he was bet fat:educed in the year 1818, when he wee returned at the head of the poll. Mr. Roberta was again returned et the genorel election which took place on the death of George 111. in 1820, and was replered in his neat in the several parliaments of 1826, '3l, '32—the stirring periods of oaths lie emancipation and the Parliamentary Reform agitatioa— ' sad finally is 1835. After that period, Mr. Le tile, a tory, ' who had nasnocamfally °untested the bough in 18.32, but W by dent sets to those which subsequently procured the Mara end ultimate nitrating of Mr. George Dodd, another key, acquired an secendmicy o ver the v e n a l portion of the voters, sad introduced Mr. aerarli as his coWague in 1837, Mace which Mr. Roberta has not been re-elected. Indeed, ts 1838, he retired altogether from political life, to the great regret of numbers who admired his upright sad unflinching cuiduct in the advocacy and support of liberal measnrus, at a time when the adoption of a liberal policy by the goverumenr seemed hopeless. Mr. Roberts had reached the rips old see of aerinty-nise years; and at the time of kis death was Chairman of the Committee of Bankers.— , Soria Easters Garotte. BCOTTISII ARTISTS TII VIE ROYAL ACADEMY RIM Tarr t ox.—eir lobs Watson Gordon sends no fewer than els portraits. some of these equal to anything he hes ever pointed. Clos is • pi-mimic of the Lord Chief instine of England—Lord Campbell—which is an excellent likseere, and painted with great breadth and rigour; characteristics which are equally evinced in the portrait of Professor Simp eon. Mr. Harvey's picture of " Dr. Guthrie Preaching in Glenesk to the Tenants and Cotters of Lord Penman," also goes to London. The composition is circular, and in the foreground stands the almost living, breathing figure of the earnest eloquent divine. Behind Dr. Guthrie sits Hugh Miller and hie daughter the only worthy portrait of the author of the Old Rd Sandstone we have ever seen. Towards the centre of the canvas • widow site surrounded by her orphan children. In the bsckgrnnnd one of the Apostles " widows indeed" is waiting on the Word of Life with earnest bied, while stalwart eernest•looking men and l i stening cabin, connect the orphans with the family group of Lord Parmsw. Before Lord Panmure's family sit Professor Miller end Wes Guthrie, equally well managed, in the general arrangement, and the crunpesitioe is completed with a number of Scotch men with their wives and families. Mr. Meirolloch sends to the Royal Academy his "View of the Clyde," with Dam bertca in the middle distance—a large and important picture; and the chases of Violinists will be specially interested In Yawing that Mr. Derid Roberts has painted a large picture of Edinburgh from the Calton-hill. which will be exhibited at the Royal Academy.—Art All4lO, No. I. s is IM se 111 111 -4 UI b 116 LINIIII LAAPAD ►T I!Wird a aired le Tweist i rr Um) 1"6418.14" _eta sr! ll,* iregareilad ce — z: o 7ll;•iisa — a: %Tr i o i Ir sw NT! tshirt_e_.,..

INDLAN LANGUAGES AND THE ROMAN CRA kac-ria —Until the period of the elphabetical °solemness s held at the residence of Chevalier Emmen, before he left this country, we believed that the strange sounds of Indian km =.3could not be represented by our own alphabet. We became satisfied that they could; and the difference is the facility of learning to reed and write, and in the coat of printing, is each as to justify every attempt to substitute this character for the native ones. The Hindus have ow fared a great benefit on Europe by supplanting the old system of arithmetical notation in clumsy - IL man lettere, by their own simple and bmutifttl invention of what wecell the Arable numerals. To us it would be tenible to think of keepiag accounts in the same numbers aa we put upon the dials Of eur clocks.
