MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the last few days, business has been rather active. For most of the principal staples there has been an increased demand, and prices have in several instances exhibited an improvement. Tea has been very firm, and at public sale the biddings for medium qualities were brisk. The better qualities of sugar, par ticularlygood grocery descriptions, have been much inquired for, and advanced rates have been current. Coffee has fully maintained its value, and in some qualities of Plantation Ceylon there is an advance of ls. per cwt. A good deal of speculative bu s i ness h as b een d one i n r i ce , an d prices exhibited at one time a slight advance, but they have since receded. Spices have been steadily dealt in, but fruit continues dull. Saltpetre bas been actively inquired for, and good medium qua lities have improved Gd. per cwt. For tallow there has been a steady demand, and prices have been firm. P.Y.C. on the spot is now (punted 555. 9d. ; for May and June delivery, 553. Gd. ; and for last three months, 525. 6d. per cwt. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices of American were nearly id. per lb. dearer ; other descriptions were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated to 10,000 balel, 1,500 of Which were taken by the speculators. The Rail way Share Market manifested a steady appearance, and the valu-s of most of the leading lines slightly advanced. The demand for money continues very moderate bith in Lombard-street and at the Bank of Eng land. While trade and speculative enterprise con tunic so dull, d'scouut operations must necessarily be on a small scale. First-class bills have been negotiated at 21 and 2i per cent., while at the Stock Exchange loans on Government stock can be obtained at 1 or 11 per cent. Later advices have been received from New York, which report great activity and buoyancy in the stock markets. A considerable advance had taken place in stocks and shares. Money con tinued to accumulate in the banks. There has been very little activity in the Eng lish Stock Market to-day, but the quotations are firm with an upward tendency. Some small pur chases have been made on speculative account, but bona fide operations are restricted. While busi ness continues so dull, no great improvement can be expected, but should the Relates become firmer, greater animation would doubtless prevail. C msols for transfer have been 96a. 1, and 96 1 ; for account, 96i I. They are now 96l and 961 respectively. The New 3 per Cents., and the Reduced Annuities, have been dealt in at 95 i • India Loan debentures (scrip) is firmer, 'viz., 991 100. Exchequer Bills (June) are 345. to 3 7 . 8. premium. In the Foreign Stock Market business is rather quiet, but prices do not exhibit any alteration of importance.

A let ter from Vienna of the 18th states that the traders of Ga li c i a , who have occasion to cross the fron tier t I go int) Russia, complain that such is the rigour di'played wi h regard to passports that, though they may have passporls signed by the Rirsian Consul, they are obliged to go to the chief town of the nearest circle to get a new rrsa. A letter from Tiflis of the 15th ult., mentions the death in that city of Gen. Beboutoff, ex-commandant of the Rtheimi army in the Cancun& ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The grand spectacle of" The Taking of Canton," is nightly attracting very full audiences to this world renowned theatre. Nothing can exceed the vivid effect produced by the mimic attack and cap ture of the devoted city ; and the loud applause elicited is well deserved. Last night a very amus ing incident occurred "in front," as it is profes sionally termed. A jolly Jack Tar—a genuine son of Old Neptune—wash enjoning the play in the gallery, and applauded everything moat lustily. The only person who seemed to offend Jack was Commissioner Yeh. In the second act the Imperial Commissioner makes his appearance ou board :hip, and after a very bombastic speech he advises the English captain to refrain from encountering the terrific valour of the Chinese braves, and to return how. Scarcely had the Commissioner uttered the words than Jack emphatically, and with strong emphasis, exclaimed, "You be d— !" This sudden ebullition of feel ing produced loud laughter, and which his High ness and the rest of the ac':ors could not refrain from enjoying. At the conclusion of the spectacle Mr. William Cooke executed his promised feat of taming a vicious horse according to the reported principles of Mr. Raley. A horse was led into the arena, which Mr. William Cooke informed the house he had never till that moment seen, the crea ture having been just brought to the establishmmt, it is to be presumed for the purpose of having its vicious propensities eradicated uuder the treatment, of Mr. Cooke. After the horse had been paraded round the ring several times, Mr. Cooke made bis appearance with an assistant. One of the fore legs of the equine patient was then bent inwards as far as possible, and strapped as tightly as to render it utterly powerless. By this arrangement the animal was of course confined to the use of but three of its legs, and a leading strap having been attached to the fore leg, which was still at liberty, Mr. William Cooke grasped that leading strap firmly at the horse's shoulder with one hand, while its head was secured with the other ; by this means the slightest effort of the animal was controlled or mo dified. The patient, utterly powerless under this novel discipline, having hopped around the arena seve al times helplessly on two legs and a hale, at last fairly rolled over, precipitating Mr. Cooke in his sudden fall, and leaving him recumbent on the sand of the field of strife. The vanquished charger having panted for some time on the gtound with every appearance of exhaustion, at last recavered its equanimity, whereupon be was rewarded by the caresses of his conqueror, who at the while iu triumph cn his prostrate body. Tne ligatures were then removed, and the animal was led out to all appearance " a wiser and a better horse." This rerforrnance appeared to give general satisfaction, as Mr. Cooke was called for several times at its termination. STRAND THEATRE. A new and original farce in one act, called "Your Likeness for a Shilling," was performed at this theatre last night. It is the joint production of Messrs. Harrington and Yates, the authors of se - feral pieces of a similar kind—" A Night at Notting-hill," "Double Dummy," and others, which have been attended with success. Like them it has been succ,ssful ; for, though it has no dra matic construction that deserves the name, nor anything like an intelligible plot, it is brio.ful of b:oad fun and humour, which the audience found irresistibly ludicrouP, for they laughed from the beginning to the end of the piece, and applauded it he Lally when it was done. It was acted with spirit by Mr. C. Young, Mr. Ray, Miss F. Ternan, and Mrs. Selby, and we have no doubt will make the Strand audiences merry for a good nriny nights to come. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. A now 22-gun steam screw corvette, to be called the ()Thew, is ordered to be laid down at Chat. ham dockyard. on the same slip as that from which the Racoon, 22, was recently launched. A large line-of-battle screw steamer will also be laid down on No. 2 slip, lately occupied by the Hero, 91. The Mersey, screw st-amer, now being built at Chatham, is pierced for 40 heavy guns, a' d from her immense length and the great powcr of hei engines-1,000 horse—a high rate of speed is anti cipated. She is expected to be launched in Jun^. The damage sustain , cl by the monster mortar during the last experiments in November, 1857, having lx en again repaired, the diviiions we: e yes terday replaced, and the mortar one 3 more placed iu service position in Woolwich marsh. It is in ferred that a third course of experiments will shortly bo made. A oauple of engines of 400-11 ,- )re power having been fitted to the now steam corvette C.tallenger by Messrs. Penn, the engineers yesterday lot up steam for the purvase of trying the new ma chinery, which was kept working in Woolwich basin above five hours, the order of which was reported to be—five revolutions with 201 b. of steam and 26i vacuum, and exhibiting no indi cations of heat. The Challenger, it is expected, will be ready to steam down to Sheerness early in the first week of May next, to be prepared for the pennant. The Lisbon squadron, under the command of Roar-Admir d Sir Henry Ducie Chads, K.C.8., lit fires at Spithead yesterday morning, soon afer dayligh`, and at six a.m. were under weigh, stand ing towards the Nab light vessel. The Renown, 91, screw, flag-ship, Captain Arthur Forbes, was followed tay the Diadem, Racoon, and Curacoa. After having rounded the Nth, the squadron formed two calumns, and prepared to set canvas, the wind Leing E.S.E. which would enable the ships to get , down Channel under sail with their fires banked up. The good folks at Veutnor must have enjoyed a rich treat in viewing these four mighty engines of war paired off in the following order Renown, Diadem, Th.coon, Curacoa, pressqving the distance of three cables' lengths apart ; and to give our readers au id e a o f the power and armament of this comparatively small squadron, we will state that in tonnage the li,nown, a two-decker, of 91 guns, is nearly donVe that of the Victory, a three-decker, of 100 guns ; that the Diadem, a frigate, of 32 guns, is 700 ton s larger than the Victory ; and that,Ourno o f 31 , and Racoon, of 22 guns, are neatly equal in ton nage to the Victory. Their armament is nearly rly w h o lly 8-inch guns, be-ides long and powerful pivot guns on the upper deck. Each ship is equal to 11 knots an hour under steam alone, and they are fitted with the modern improvements of the day, including life-boats rigged with Clifford's patent lowering gear. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) COltN EXCHANGE, Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat re ceived fresh up to-day, coastwise and Ly land carriage, was very moderate, the demand for all kinds was in a most inactive state, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The imports of foreign wheat continue limited; never theless, the show of samples was tolerably good, and sales progressed slowly, at barely stationary prices. We were well supplied with foreign barley, and all de scriptions, met a slow inquiry, at late rates. Fine malt sold tc a fair extent, at full prices, but in ferior qualities ruled dull. Oats, the supply of whieli was only moderate, moved off steadily, at very full prices. Beans and peas were firm, and quite as dear as on Mon day ; but flour ruled heavy, at barely late rates.

Sit JAMES BEOOIiE, in respondin g to the toast in his honour, reviewed the chief points of his career in cannection with Sarawak, and after enlarging on the great commercial importance of the place, said , —Yeur kind reception of me to-day induces me to seek your support in obtaining objects to which I have devoted life and fortune for many years past, objects politically and commercially important, and deeply affecting the . character and the position of this nation in the Eastern Archipelago ; objects which by timely arrangement, might be gained without risk and without expense—which may be lost from continued neglect and indifference—aed which must, I am convinned, be regretted when too late. (Hear, hear.) For the natinn which to this day deplores the cession, through ignorance, of the fair Island of Java, cannot fail to regret, when it is aware of its value, the loss of the north west coast of Borneo—vainly to regret the oppor (unities wasted and the advantages cast away. (Applause.) Let it not be so, gentlemen. I im plore you to weigh this subject well—to regard the claims of justice and the rights of humanity—to decide, and induce °lbws to act, so that you may establish a policy and a position in those seas worthy of a great nation. (Hear, hear.) The simple question b e f ore you i s, " Shall Sarawak in future be supported, as it - Once was, or be aban doned, as it now is ?" (Hear, hear.) The British policy centres around this question ; it is the touchstone of progress or of retrogression ; and after 15 years' suspense — suspense more hard to bear than misrortune—(hear, hear)--is it not rea sonable to seek an answer to it ? (Hear, hear.) Is it not just and right to beg for the finaisettlenient of affairs which will no longer brook delay ?—to ask whether a petty state, ruled by an Englishman, and fostered so long, is now to be abandoned, with all the British interests in it 7 At any rate, let us know our fate. Ask yourselves whether a policy has been built up for years only to be cast down again 7 Ask yourselves whether British subjects were encouraged to embark their lives and fortunes iu a new country with a view only to their ruin ? (Hear, hear.) Actions are the proofs of intention, and action and intention combined engender obli gations not lightly to be violated. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Judge, then, gentlemen. should Sarawak be abandoned now ? (Hear, hear.) There are, however, irrespective of this question, pruden tial calculations which must ever enter into the consideration of political subjects ; and in the present case the inquiries will naturally arise, " Was this policy wisely commenced ? Should it be renewed ? What are the advantages to be gained from it ? And what may be the probable cost ? To answer these inquiries we must glance at the geography of those countries. Imagine stretched out before you our vast possessions in India and Australia on the one hand, and on the other the vaster empire of China. Between, them lies the Eastern Archipelago, with its thousand islands, politically important, as being the key to China, and the connecting link between the two oceens. Now, gentlemen, if you share with me the c nvic tion that the progress of our commerce with China, our trade with that vast and peopled region, is to be developed by our,ener e ty and our enterprise, you must require from the government of this country that the means should be apportioned to the end ; that 'they should establish British influence on tle:t shot es of this pas' ern Mediterranean ; and that they should provide in due time for the ever-increasing demands of our steam communication. Sarawak h'Ads a position cn the southern shoe of the China Sea, itnp;rta,nt alike f ,. .ar navigation and electric intercourse. Let any man of intelligence consult his chart, and declare the value of that position, present and future, to Engl and, and also the sore hind , ante, it in'g6 become, if permit ed to pass into the hands of a fur. ign power. (Hoar, hear.) Already, I may say, the repre ta ti ves of the great rations of Europe have congregated in China ; already a European policy has been developed there—already the fleets of England and of France, of Russia and of America, guard the interests of their respective nations. Already Russia possesses settlem nts of some importance on the northern shore of the China Sea ; let England retain her hold upon the southern shot e ; and let her, in doing so, secure the advantages, neither few nor unim portant, which Sarawak has to offer. Sarawak possesses a pepula' ion which has evinced its respect for good governmeet, and its fidel ty to this coun try, -and it is a proud thing to say, referring to the recent occurrences in India, that there the reitive and the European have laved for 20 years pat in friendly intimacy and in mutual respect. She has a fertile soil, calculated for the growth of mauy valuable tropical- productions ; she is rich in minerals, but richest in that most valuable of minerals, coal, and her trade increases with the development of her resources. A political positiol, an increasing trade, the development of one of the fairest countries, and an ample supply of coal, are the advantages which Sarawak offers in ex change for permanency and a slight support. (Hear.) I need not expatiate upon this suteecs, for the possession of a coal field in those seas cin nal be -overvalued. Year by year it increases in value, year by year will the want of it lower our power in those regions—(hear, hear)—and I must say th,t any Minister who would not secure it upon reason able terms can be ito statesman. (Hear.) Here, then, are the advantages offered. Tho cost —if cost it can be caged—l will briefly mention. To advance the interests of my own country, and to obtain permanency for Sarawak, I would wil lingly have conceded the country, with the consent of its inhabitants, to the Crown ; but there were serious objections to this concession, the most serious, probably, being the expense which a new" col ny would have entailed. Tho proposition, then, which I have made as the basis of a future arr ngement is, that England should grant a pro tecorate, and that she should stand in the posi tion of a public creditor to Sarawak ; with a stipu lation that, on certain terms, she might take pos ses,ion of the country, whenever her interests re quired it. (Hear ' hear, and applause.) This pro position appears to me to combine all the advan tages of possession, with none of its liabilities. The native government, which is su ted to the people, and in which they largely themselves administer, might be advantageously continued ; while the possession de facto would rest with the Crown. (Hear.) There are not wanting precedents, if pre cedents be z eeded for a protectorate. And for the loan which is proposed, it is too small almost to be mentioned in this great city of Manchester, and it would be secured, principal and interest, upon the country itself. These are the terms on which I should desire to make a final arrangement with this country, and by which the greatest of all perma nent blessings would be secured for Sarawak. (Hear.) But if it was required of me, I would sa crifice this sum of 40,0001. or 50,0001.—though it was the fortune which 1 have inherited, and which I have expended to bring Sarawak to its present prosperous condition. (Applause.) No obstacle shall be raised on my part. I would not allow any selfish consideration to stand in the way of attain ing a great public object—(applauie)—for 1 can stand before you to-night, and always before my country, with a conscious pride that my hands are unsullied by the love of lucre—(applause)—that I hrve giVen all, and received nothing. (Hear, hear, and applause.) My tale is told. I wilt only say that, for myself I am as nothing ; for what is a handful of dust compared to the destiny of a people? (Hear, hear.) And the subject which occupies us does involve the destiny of a noble lace. (Hear.) Mr. 0. HEYWOOD proposed "The Army and Navy," which was responded to by CA. SERVANTE and Admiral S r H. KEPPEL.

Several years ago, Lord Dunfermline received, in the form of a paralytic shock, one of those inti mations that here we have no abiding place, which"' lees than mcst men he - neither needed or feared. He wrapped his robe round him, and ptaCidly— waited the end— • - • " Calmly he looked on either life—and here . - Saw nothing to regret, not there to fear." But, though ready, he did not feel entitled nor in clined to be idle, but continued to the last as from the first in the performanOe Of whatever he thought given' him to dO. It was his kind, fate to have pie- served to him till the close his acute perception, his full and accurate memory, and especially his keen interest in all that concerned the colintry . he loved and the principles for 'which he had striven. For professional advice in these later years of failing health, Lord Dunfermline relied on the skill vigilance, and congeni a l ewe of Dr. J.. Brow n, th e - well-placed confidence and esteem of the patient finding a warm response in the affectionate vene ration and solicitude of the physician. Lord Dunfermline was the third son of the gal laOt and beloved Sir Ralph Abercromby, and was' born in 1776. Educated for tlre English bar, and for some time in practice, he early showed a ten dency to political life. This tendency, so far as we infer motives from results, had its origin not in love of show or thirst for notoriety, but in a desire to aid certain public ptincip:es, a conviction in favour of which had been early and deeply angt aved on his mind. Like several other Scotchmen who have bOrre a great part on the Liberal side in the. politics of the last 60 years, he was first made to feel and to think politically by the degraded spec tacle which Scotland presented at the end of last century, and especially by the cruel and unconstis tutional politic-Jr prosecutions, which raised a flame, in his and other breasts that did not-burn uselessly and was not extinguished but with life. He entered . Parliament in 1812 for the borough of Caine ; in 1827 he was appointed Judge-Advocate-General, and made a Privy Councillor. Among his service there was his famous exposute of the character of the Sco:ch electoral system as exemplified in the. ca.e of Edinburgh, when moving in 1824 and 1826 that the franchise should be given to the inhabi tants instead of to " the 33." His admirable de monstrations of the necessity for rtform in that partieuliar instance did much to accelerate the approaching triumph of the general cause. In 1830 he was appoinied Chief Baron of the S;:ottish Ex.; chequer, which he held till the abolition of the office ; in 1834 he was made Master of the Mint. Besides these public posts he for some years acted as auditor of the D,2vonshire estate., and was also for some time a Commissioner in Baniruptcy. One very characteristic incident of his Parliamentary career was his bringing before the house in 1824 a breach of privilege on the part of Lord Chancellor Eldon, who had referred in extraordinary terms from the bench to a speech of Mr. Abercromby'.. His motion on the subject, brought forward in a very spirited manner, would most probably have been carried, had not Mr - . Canning exerted his utmost influence to avert such a result. Tire dis cussion, however, in which Brougham, Searle tt, and Mackintosh took part, almost as efficiently answered the ends in view—the vindic.ticn not only of Mr. Abercromby, but of the privileges of the House of Commons itself. When Parliamentary Reform was achieved, and. E!inburgh, instead of one member vl-cted by a close c n-poration, was to elect two for herself, almost all t:yes turned upon James Abercromby and Francis Jeffrey as the men at, onto most httiu,g and , deseiving. When, after the Tory coup d'etat and dissolution in 1835, the Liberals thought they had go :d reason for substituting a Liberal in the chair . of the House ( f Commons, their choice fell upon Mr. Abercromby ; and he held that high position till 1839, when, according to custom, he retired with a Peerage. Since then, he has lived in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, quietly but not idly —not seeking publicity, nor yet shunning it when. duty seemed to call and strength permitted. It w:is a ram a kable and an honourable career—a his tory which testifies alike to the nueri!s and value of the man, to the soundOeis cf the principles he espJused, and to the wisdom of being just and fearing not. Lord Dunfermline was one of the most eminent of that school of public Men whose characters derived at once elevation and hardihood from having been nursed amidst the cold, audstorm, and danger which compassed round political life in this country hslf-a-century age. He hal felt tile in fluence of Fox and his disciples—the resolute pur pose, ,the broad sympathies, the deep love and belief of great maxims and principles. lie had been taught to labour i-teaoilyand wait patiently— to e steem honesty and courage, and to abhor setvili•y. lii those stormy times the chaff was effectu ti 1y separated from the wheat— " Distinction, with a broad and powerful fan Pulling at all, winnowed the light away." And while i: is painful to remember how few were lift, there is pride in thinking who and wha - those few were, and how their labours were in the end rewarded and justified. Among the foremost was he whose departure we have to-day to deplore. Few laboured harder in se2d-time, or lived to see more of the harvest. Politically, he saw all old things pass away, his principles and his friends ascend and reign after an exile of forty years, and the laggards and deserters experiencing the truth of Charles Fox's fine desctiption of " that very foolish class of men whom the world calls' wise in their generation." One principle was especially dear to Lord Dun fermline, as to most men of his sCho2l and time. The dectrine of religious freedom, in ,all its depth and to all its consequences, he thoroughly arpreniated, and watched over it with a j , alOtis, and often, as up ell he m ghf., with an anxious care. If in anything " those times were better than these," it was in the attachment to religious tole ration prevailing among the chief public men of bath par.i-s—fer in tl.at respect even Pitt and Fox were at one. In speaking of religious equality, we do not mean that vapid and sickly sentiment of which we possess such abundance in our days,-- which asserts very loudly liberty to such opinions as are not very different, but that great principle under which there is shelter and justice even fOr the most odious beliefs and disbefiefp, and the na ture of which Is such that it can never be compro mised or made a questi. n of degree without being made 'alio a qu-stion of mere expedience, power, or opportunity. Whether in things small or great, national or local, this principle was a thing which L .rd Dunfermline held steadfastly and defended zealously. Ile inairitainad it in Parliament against political friends as readily as against opponents; and he maintained it no less zealously when he saw it assailed by small enemies and deserted by local friends. We doubt ivhether in any act of his life he felt a greater zeal or a prouder consciowness cif right .than when he set himself, with all his soul ati.l strength, to meet with practical protest and r medy the paltry injustice sought to be in flicted on the Roman Catholics in the mat ter of the Edinburgh Ragged Schools ; and whether, even when presiding over the Commons of Bft.ain, he was more elevated in the estimation of his own conscience and feelings than when, in a rickety room in a noisome Edinburgh close, he sat as chitirman over troops of ragged children and a handful of those faithful to tho old cause aird un se lucid by the new cant , . Along with sincerity and courage, a chief cha racteristic of Lord Dunfermline was sagacity — which is " one of Wisdom's names." He was a careful thinker. Resolute as he was in defending and zealous in promoting his opinions, he was no less cautious and unconscientious in fermi n o g l t h i c e a m l This quality he exercised not nii-rely in . P but n in ni p ( r , i r v e u t c e o a n ir s i t e l i l i t s e ,• dand d few trt in is e te n d o i f •e h g l a s r d d a in y g ha th v e e business both of the p ublic and of individuals. The an extent and efficacy of his counsels on .public events and men during his later years, were far greater than appeared; and multitudes of difficulties an d controver sies of less national concern have owed their solution to his clear discernment and calm ino• In expressing his views either by speech or pen, Lord Dunfermline shunned ornament, and did not aim at point, but made his words a re flex o f the downrightness and condensation.. of hi* thoughts. From the extreme simplicity, and, when in certain moods and dealing with certain themes, the occasional reticence of his i n s g p t a t r a o t l n u l d y g.h l t o v s s a t a , n u d e at ar e lr g f e . m t w e h u l a o t t r s th h expression , :taiimd e .11. e. ap t ra hi pt pmi ton e g a b n he i quietly, and often, to to speak, of scur e corners they were sometime s left , tuo served, though - in the end they might, as many of them did, take root and spring up.
