Commercial letters from St. Petersburg, dated the 13th inst., mention that no business was going for ward in produce. The price of tallow was nominally 117 roubles on the spot, and 112.10 for August. The exchange on London was quoted 33 13.16 to 36 1-16. We have much pleasure in stating that the sub scription which was started yesterday afternoon in the Stock Exchange, oa behalf of the distressed dock ►abourers and others, amounts already to upwards of 3001. As the members of the Stock Exchange are suffering even more than other classes of the com munity from the stagnation of business caused by the war, their liberality in this cause of charity is the more praiseworthy. We trust so good an example will be worthily and promptly followed in other walks of City business. With a view to the distribution of these funds in as effective a manner as possible, it is proposed to entrust them to the local clergymen. We believe this laudable movement was originated in the Stock Exchange by Mr. Norman Wilkinson, who has before rendered himself conspicuous by his zeal in promoting such acts of charity. The Portuguese financial agent in London an nounces that the total amount of stock converted up to the 31st of December last was 5,664,0141., leaving 4,174,7271. still unconverted. The particulars are at the same time published of the old securities can celled, and of the new bonds issued. The half-yearly meeting of the South Eastern Railway Company is to be held on the 15th March. A meeting of the London Assurance Corporation is called for the 21st March. Land and Bank shares to-day were quiet, but the stock of the Australian Agricultural Company de clined nearly 1/. London Dock stock has been dealt in at 1001; Peninsular and Oriental Steam at 64 to. ; and General Screw Steam Shipping at 16 to 161. The subjoined weekly summary of the produce markets is extracted from the circular of Messrs. W. J. and H. Thompson : The colonial markets continue inactive, but the value of produce generally is maintained. Of the quantity of sugar offered at auction the portion sold has been at fully previous rates. Some parcels of Native Ceylon coffee have been brought forward for sale, but the trade were not buyers at the former currency, and the chief part was bought in; in the other sorts there bee been very little done. The demand for rice continues, and business has been done at higher quotations. Saltpetre is heavy of sale. There is scarcely any demand for rum ; some Madras is reported sold at 2.1. Id. per gallon proof. The tea market his been inactive, and common Congou is quoted rather lower.

Mr. 001.1, as chairman of the committee appointed at the meeting of the 26th of Jaanary, to investigate the affairs of the commission, presented a report. In this it was stated that the committee had been constantly engaged in the performance of their duties ever since their appointment. At their meetings Mr. Warren, a commissioner, and Mr. Mason, the solicitor of the commission, had been ge nerally In attendance, and bad afforded every aunt ince to facilitate the inquiry ; but Mr. Billings, the clerk to the commissioners, had unfortunately been detained from London by illness, and was unable person ally to attend before the previous day. The first object of the committee was to obtain the accounts of the commissioners, but they rearetted to state that, notwithstanding riposted and pressing applications, those &arcuate were not tarnished to them till the 16th instant. This delay probably arose from the complicated nature of the accounts, the long period ever which they extended, and the length of time which bad elapsed since any regular accounts were made out. Under these circumstances the committee were unable to report on the accounts, but they hoped to be enabled to do so shortly, and in the mean time to mature some plan by which the property of the commission might be made to borne extent available for the discharge of the numerous heavy liabilities upon it. An elaborate history was then given of the proceedings of the commission from the com mencement down to the present time, is which it wee stated, among other things, that though the act required that accounta should be presented by the commission from time to time, none had appeared since 1851—an omission which wu strongly censured ; that, consequently, there had of late been no audit; that whersu advances ought not to have been made to builders without a sur veyor's certificate, the commissioners by degrees became more and more lax on that point, and ultimately the prac tice of requiring a certificate fell into disuse ; that several of the bondholders had commenced legal proceedings against the commissioners, and had recovered judgments, which they were now proceeding to enforce—a coarse of proceed ing of which the committee disapproved, as being likely to prejudice the position of the bondholders generally. It we, further stated that the present commissioners were Mr. H. P. Gipps, Mr. J. N. Warren, Mr. G. T. Begot, and Mr. W. W. Pearson ; and that of these gentlemen Mr. Gipps wu abroad, and Mr. Begot seriously ill at Brighton. Under these circumstances, it appearing desirable to keep alive the oommission, it was suggested that Mr. Ogle, Mr. M. Smith, and Mr. W. Bennison should be added to it. The committee concluded by expressing a hope that they would soon he able to submit a plan calculated in some measure to alleviate the unfortunate position of tee bondholders. Mr. 001.3 moved the adoption of the report. General AITCHISON seconded the motion. Ile was in formed, he said, on high legal authority, that if the 0011/Ml4- 'loners had exceeded their authority they were liable to the full extent of their means. He had also learnt that even since August, 1854, bonds had been issued to Mr. Mackenzie to the amount of 300,0001. Mr. Lawaixos made some important statements with re gard to the proceedings of the cemmisaion, which, at the re quest of Mr. Ogle, he consented to place in detail before the committee for investigation. Mr. Ooiu stated that the commissioners had consented not to take any important step without communicating with the committee. . . virtual% um.

TREATMENT OF ENGLISH PRISONERS IN RUSSIA.— David Pickard, jun., son of Mr. David Pickard, of Barton, who was taken prisoner by the Russians at Gamla Cerleby, has furnished us with the following particulars We got aground and were taken prisoners at Gentle Carleby. We were immediately marched off about three miles to a eon of guard-house, where the wounded were properly taken c are guard-house, of, and where we remained about 48 hours. We were then marched eff to Helsingfors, where we were detained five weeks, and where we received a small quantity of dried meat, SOW milk, and black bread per diem. We were afterwards forwarded to St. Petersburg, where we were kept 16 hours, and during that time we were paraded through the city in carts for the amusement and gratification of the rising generation of the filll4llllll, who were amazingly delighted with the spectacle . We were then sent to Tsehanki, • distance of about 460 vents, when we were set at liberty upon our own resources, which amounted to nearly nothing. We remained there 14 days, waiting further orders, when we were sent back to St. Petersburg, and were very wed treated by the English residents, who supplied us with clothes and money. We were afterwards forwarded to Warsaw, a distance of about 1,100 vents, ad thence to Berlin, and afterwards to Hamburg, where we n misused • few days under the geardianship of the English consul. We were then shipped for England, and arrived in London in dee course. I must admit that we were very well treated at the commencement of our captivity, hat towards the ter mination we very much resembled Rumba serfs as regards the food we received and the treatment we ezperieneed at the hands a est geolen."—Strussford Mercury.
