The public deposits exhibit a decrease of 62,509/. when compared with last week, which, as a matter of course, is the result of the payments for official expenses and salaries which became due on the 25th ult., and would be dis bursed during the week embraced by the return. The private. deposits had diminished to a consider able extent, being 583,7271. less than at the close of the preceding week. The payments into the Exchequer would probably have absorbed the greater part of that amount, for as far as can be gathered from the other items of the return the demand for discounts by the public were very limited, the other securities showing an increase of 51,5331. only. It is, therefore, clear that, what ever may be the ultimate effect of the Bank refusing to re-discount bills, as yet it has brought but little additional business to the national establish ment. The bullion in both departments stands at 18,628,9171., showing a decrease of 104,8981. Of that reduction 64,5531. had occurred iu the gold and silver coin in the banking department, indi cating that the usual quarterly disbursements had very materially aided in effecting the reduction in the items. The Reserve of Notes had decreased 684,0701., but the active circulation had been aug mented by a nearly corresponding amount, viz,, 643,725/. Although the return is apparently less favourable than those which have preceded it, there is not the slightest reason for uneasiness on the point, the disturbing causes being evidently those financial movements which invariably accompany the close of the quarter. The various items and the change they present are as subjoined : £19,950,750 643,725 1 8,628,917 104 898 8,897,615 3,960 7,630,763 62,509 12,991,054 583,727 840,165 54,814 9,901,993 Active circulation .

The markets were generally very dull and overstocked with commodities. The agricultural prospects are generally satisfactory and the islands healthy. The Jamaica coffee crop is reported likely to be very small. The Atrato has brought $637,251 in specie on freight, the value of which is about 127,4501., of which about 85,4371. is in gold, and the balance is in silver. 3 i 20 !

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE SERPENTINE.—Mary Anne Browning, 28, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with attempting to commit suicide this morning at the Serpentine. George Dickenson, a private of the 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards, said that while in Kensington gardens about six this morning, he saw the prisoner run from the top of the bill to the bottom and into the river. He immediately ran after and called to her, as she was not very far in, to come out, but she refused, and told him to tot her die_ He thou, rstiviais oho would not coma Out, went in after her, and after a severe struggle suc ceeded in getting her out. He then assisted in taking her to the receiving-house He had to go in up to his waist after her, and be was Pure she meant to commit suicide. He ha 3 to pull her out by her allele. Mr. Bingham said his conduct did him much credit. Police-constable Henry Beth said his attention was called to the prisoner. He went to the receiving-house and took her into custody.

FRANCE UNDER THE ETAT-DE-SIEGE. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Daily News : SIR,—I send you a copy of a document which seems to me, as a specimen of tyrannical debauche, worth a page of Tacitus. It is one of the so-called sentences—they are all like—in virtue of which a man is arrested and carried away to Africa, under the imperial rule. I send the French text to avoid all doubt concerning the faithfulness of a transla tion : Praecture de Vaucluse, Ministere de l'lntdrieur et de la Sftretd—G6n4rale.—lbre Division.—ler Bureau.

(Sig❑d) EsriNASsE." CH. DEMURE. Pour ampliation, Le Chef de Division, Pour copie conforms, Le Prefet de Vaucluse, Da ST. AMAND , Let your readers weigh the words of the law which rules now individual liberty in France. A man has been, deservedly or not, under an ex ceptional, extra legal state of things, visited seven, nine, or ten years ago—in May and June, 1848, for instance, when Louis Napoleon was not even Presi dent—with a punishing measure applied to him without a trial, summarily, in the name of threat ened public safety. He has been interne, thrown out of the country, or transported. He has under gone his punishment, He has fully expiated his probable or possible political guilt. A circular from Paris enjoins the department au thorities to clear France of all men who might en danger imperial rule. The department authorities, the prefet, the commanding general, and the go vernment's attorney, consult the lists of seven, nine, or ten years ago. About every name they find, they seek information from the local police is such a man likely to prove some day or other dangerous? Yes ; some unknown spy has handed over an unfavourable rapport about him. The man is suddenly arrested and transported to Algeria. Retroactivity of the law—an extra-legal measure given as ground to an actual, summary, heavy punishment—an expiated probable or possible fault, taken as a guidance for actual visitation, no trial, no interrogatory, no judges of the case, the absolute irrevonsible will of three public func tionaries—all these features are combined in the monstrous achievement. In the special case, the e man now shipped to Africa, was m e rely sent to the interior of France in 1852. Th e sen t ence pro nounced against him on th e aroun d o f t h e f ormer measure is incomparably h eavier. o t a co nvoi n Hundreds of men, m erc h ants, lawyers, working eveeryr y F rench nigh lcalit ported, under a senten ce lik e the one I send: trans ported, os f - From m M e a n rc 2 b are l4 n downwards, from v prisoners has reached Marseilles, each convoi con taining from 30 to 40 persons. The men they doomed have been generally invited, for the sake of avoiding scandal, to the Pr e f ec t ure , t o h ear some communication relating to their private interests. And this is called a government, a normal legal power worth alliances, protection, anti-conspiracy to-murder bills and press prosecutions ! This we are called on to respect. April 1. JOSEPH MAZINI. THE MAGAZINES. Blackwood.—" What will he do with it," brings before us after the lapse of some years the two personages who first attracted our notice, Lionel and his friend,Vance. There is greatimprovement manifest in Lionel Houghton ; the years that have passed over his head are described as having "de veloped a boy, musing noble dream?, into a man fit for noble action, retaining freshest youth in its enthusiasm, but borrowing from maturity com pactness and solidity of idea." Farther on we meet Guy Darrell once more alone in his deserted halls. " There, as in a caravanserai, the traveller took his rest, stately and desolate." After a con ference with his old friend Colonel Morley, he saunters out into the streets, and in his wanderings we are afforded a glimpse of his past in his envied prime—as he returns, he is followed by a dark enemy, who, though frustrated for the moment in his evil designs, shadows forth the intention of one day maturing his revengeful schemes. As may be supposed the form is that of Losely, whom the flight of time has brought lower and lower into the social scale. In the powerful sketch of this man the author has achieved a de cided success, and in the further develop ment of his career he holds out a promise of sustaining, if not aurpassing, his for mer reputation in the mysteries of romance. An article on " The New Administration " is written with vigour and spirit. While rejoicing at the return of the Conservatives to power, there is no party bitterness in the tone, and no unfair assumption of superiority in the arguments of the writer. He -commences by asserting that the " Earl of Derby bears a name never associated with finesse. What he promises he will perform. He did not seek office—he even sought to avoid it. It came to him." Aud then goes on to recapitulate and comment on the important occurrences that have recently taken place. In treating of the refugee question, he gives it as his opinion that Lord Palmerston's conduct regarding the Conspiracy Bill was not an intentional desertion of the national honour, but a fatal error he committed from his overweening opinion of his power in the House. After dwel ling on the energies and abilities of the members of the Government, and the policy that will be in all probability pursued by them, it is remarked, in conclusion : " We have ne doubt that the great desire of the Oppo sition leaders is to get the new Ministry turned out as fast as possible. The ex-Ministerial chiefs, whether of the Palmerston or Russell sect, will be bent upon nip ping in the bud the development of their rivals' policy, from a well-founded dread lest the number, comprehen siveness, and ability of the measures of the new Cabinet should quite eclipse the feeble and all but barren ses sions of the recent Liberal regime. Ttiis was the tactics of the Opposition in 1552, and there is much greater motive for theta to repeat these tactics no w. But can they ? We do not believe it. We do not apprehend that the ex-Ministerial chiefs will obtain sufficient sup port from the house to enable them to carry out such fac tious designs. The Conservatives succeeded to office simply by the failure of their rivals, acid after a career in Opposition more free from factious courses than any five sessions of Parliament that the present generation has witnessed. Lord Darby has formed his Ministry entirely on the principle of securing the most effilent men ; and in point of talent and administrative skill it may challenge comparison with the very best of its pre decessors. Its members are in earnest, fully competent for their work, and bent upon accomplishing it. They 'aei// accomplish it, if the house give them the opportu nity. Difficulties of . no ordinary kind they certainly have to encounter ; but we confidently believe they will triumph over them, and that the house will support them with that constitutional' majority to which they are so amply entitled." The paper, entitled " A Few Words on Social Philosophy, by one who is no Philosopher," is well worthy of perusal. It is written in a very agree able style, and can hardly fail to afford satisfac tion. "Rambles round Glasgow " contain inter esting information to those desirous of improving their acquaintance with that locality ; while the chronicles of a "Journey from Spain to Pied mont " present the variety of foreign travel. Among the other subjects met with in this num ber are "The Missionary Explorer," which refers to Dr. Livingstone, and some remarks on " The Rival India Bills." Dablin University.—" Gerald Fitzgerald" is continued. The unfortunate youth appears in this portion of the narrative to be plunged into the depths of misery, and, to complete his dilemmas, the old man with whom he is staying at the Tana, conceives a dislike to him this dis• like is changed to a deadly hatred, owing to some cause of offence, and, with the Italian spirit of revenge, ho meditated to make away with his victim. Forewarned, Gerald departed over the mountains to Tuscany, while his enemy had hastened in a contrary direction to meet the destined murderer. " The Legend of the Golden Prayers" is pleasing. The story is told in verse, it relates how a lady summoned from church to attend a death-bed, found on her return that an angel had written, in letters of gold, the pages in her breviary that she had misssd. In another form it seems to represent the idea of Coleridge— " He prayeth beat, who loveth best, All things both great and small." " Recent Oxford Literature," is an able article, which enters into the subject with skill and energy. After rendering ample justice to the attainments of Oxford celetnities, the writer points out the errors of judgment, and extravagancies of opinion into which many have fallen, in a candid manner, and with great justness of discrimination. He states their weak point to be a kind of logical ma d n ess, " Put them on a premiss and they push down the inclined plane to a conclusion, however perilous or extravagant." After dwelling on the instances adduced, the opinion here expressed seems correct that there is something morbid in the way in which Oxford intellect blossoms into literature. The poetical reader will find an attraction in " A Vision of Perpe tual Spring," which describes the progress of the advancing season in glowing colours. The youth of the year is always a welcome subject for the mind to contemplate, but the language of poetry is the fittest exponent of its glories. " Life and Death in Tipperary" is a story founded on fact, and is full of adventure, strife, and peril at the outset. Considerable interest will be felt in the " Martial Incidents in Oude," which are here met with. It is observed that the great defence of Lucknow is an event in Indian history which has no parallel since the conquest of OLIVE, and the moral dignity exhibited by the British soldier has shown our superiority more than the most brilliant exploits in the open field. Fraser.—The accomplished author of "The His tory of Civilisation" has recently delivered a dis course at the Royal Institution, on " The Influ ence of Women on the Progress of Knowledge." This lecture is given in the present number of Fraser, and affords its readers an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the style and opinions of that able writer. So far as regards the subject of the lecture, however, they will not be able to arrive at any very decided conclusion. He tells us that women have greatly conduced to the increase of knowledge by their natural love of reasoning, by deduction instead of by induction, and thereupon lie seizes the congenial topic, and upholds the merits of the deductive system, in opposition to the Baconian method. Whether his readers coincide with his opinions or no, they will acknow ledge the ability with which they are advanced, and his fair students, satisfied with the importance given to them, need not inquire too closely into the grounds of their dignified position, which some of them might find not a little perplexing. "My Winter Garden," by a minute philosopher, is a pleasant rambling paper, defending among other things the, merits of monotony in the following cheerful strain : " Besides, monotony is pleasant in itself ; morally pleasant, and morally useful. Marriage is monotonous; but there is much, I trust, to be said in favour of holy wedlock. Living in the same house is monotonous ; but three removes, say the wise, are as bad as a fire. Loco motion is regarded as an evil by our Litany. The Litany, as usual, is Those who travel by land or sea' are to be objects of our pity and our prayers ; and Ido pity them. I delight in that same monotony. It saves curiosity, anxiety, excitement, disappointment, and a host of bad passions. It gives a man the blessed invigorating feeling that he is at home ; that he has roots, deep and wide, struck down into all he sees ; and that the only Being who will do nothing cruel or user: can tear them up. It is pleasant to look down on li p es same parish day after day, and say, I know al . l a tbd en d , beneath, and all beneath know me. If I I know where to find him ; s. And g 19%X :or? done, ood t.O I know who will do it. It is p loaron if I the same trees year after year ; the same birds coming back in spring to the same shrubs ' • the same banks covered with the same flow e rs, a n d broken (if they be stiff ones) by the same gaps. Pleasant and good it is to ride the same horse, to sit in the same chair, to wear the same old coat. That man who offered twenty pounds reward for a lost carpet bag full of old boots was a sage, and I wish I knew him. Why ahouk one change one's place, any more than one's wife or one's children ? Is a hermit-crab, slipping his tail out of one strange shell into another, in the hopes of its fliting him a little better, tither a dignified, safe, or graceful animal ? No ; George Riddler was a true philosopher. Let voles go earthing "sir and nigh We bides at Winne, my d og and I.' and become there, not only wiser, but more charitable ; for the oftener one sees, the better one „ knows ; and the better one knows, the more one loves. His descriptions of rides and wanderings in the quiet country byways are full of a keen appreciation of the varieties of nature, and a sense of the marvels existing in every dead leaf and hollow stem. A paper on the history of Italian literature has a brief account of the supposed origin of the Italian language, and gives Sicily as its birth-place. "The Rambles of a Naturalist" is the title of a very interesting article, founded on M. de Quatrefage's recent work. The wonders of the microscope and the phenomena of the unseen marine world are entered into with spirit—rival miracles of art and nature. But, as in other instances, nature is the most cun ning workman, and the inventors of the instru ment that can enlarge an object a million times might well be puzzled in analysing the organisation of the subject of the following description : "So much for externals. Now take Eunice san guinea, which, at Br4hat is sometimes found more than two feet and a half in length—the Indian species, Eunice gigantea, is often five or six feet long—for an examina tion of the organisation of the Annelids : "You might suppose, perhaps, that, in consequence of its size, very little difficulty would be experienced in making a detailed dissection of this animal. But if you make the attempt yon wilt soon perceive your error. The body is divided into rings, which are not above a line and a half in length, although they measure from eight to ten lines in width. It is no easy task, I assure you, to seek within this limited space the muscles which move the animal, the intestine which receives its food, the vessels which nourish it, and the nerves which ani mate it ; while to add to the difficulty, you will find that all these tissues bear the closest resemblance." " Wonderful, indeed, must be the digestive powers of Eunice, for it has not less than 280 stomachs ! Think of that, Mr. Alderman. " Its other appliances and means are on the same scale; for, besides the great canals which pervade the body from one extremity to the other, Eunice possesses 550 bran chia3, 600 hearts, and a similar number of primary ar. teries and veins.' Its muscular system is in accordance with this abundance, for each ring is supplied by some 120 muscles, ' and if we take into account those of the proboscis and head, we shall find that the entire animal moves by the action of more than 30,000 muscles.' Our author confesses, it is true, that be has not yet bean able to complete his observations on the anatomy of this complicated animal as perfectly as he could have wished, but he adds that the numbers may at all events be re girded as approximating very closely to the truth." " Squire Bolton's Transgression" is the title of a story by the author of " Meg of Elibank," and gives a pleasant picture of country lifts iu the last century. An Anglo-Indian view of the Indian crisis contains some sound and liberal reasoning as to the system of education to be pursued in the Government schools : " Most sincerely do we believe that the Indian Go vernment has, in its real toleration of all religions, acted with that justice which is in itself one of the highest re ligious duties, and at the same time done far more far Chrktianity.tban if it had pursued a contrary policy. It has been a true instinct which has made the Indian Government feel that its first duty is to hold India— that everything must be subordinated to that. Let the missionaries preach, let the Bible societies distribute their bibles, and God speed them in their labours. But let the Government use as its weapons of pro selytism those only which it has used before. Let it labour for order ; let it labour to teach Asiatics the supremacy and the equality of law ; let it take care that the European, while govern ing the native, does not domineer over him ; that India is held by Europeans for the natives, and not for them selves ; let it make railways, let it multiply roads and telegraphs ; let it give to its subjects the power of reacting and writing ; let it prepare them fur the exten sion of the power of the press ; let them wield these weapons, the right to use which cannot be gainsayed, and fearlessly leave the result to God. Thus will the Indian Government truly reverence the Lord of Jehovah, and not by teaching the Church Catechism." The most interesting of the remaining papers is one on " Chapelle and Bachaumout," by the author of " Headlong Hall." Bentley's Miscellany. --A paper on " The new Ministry" takes a very fair view of their position and capabilities, strongly insisting on their right to fair play and unprejudiced criticism. " Rushing headlong into Marriage" is the title of a story, which will probably be resumed iu the next num ' her. It censures with justice the absurd and pre tentious fashion of persons of moderate income living far beyond their means, and endeavouring to keep plea with those above them—a system that has ruined the comfort and respectability, and darkened the lives of whole families. miserable race of gentility none ever reach the eal, but all in turn suffer the annoyance and mortifica tion of defeat, and the anxiety and restlessness produced by the consciousness of unpaid bills. This skeleton in the cupboard of many a stylish household is brought to light in the little domestic tale before us, which narrates the varying fortunes of two sisters, through following the different methods of extravagance and economy. Monks hood continues his "Retrospectiveßeviewals," and summons Horace Walpole before his tribunal. He gives us a pleasant paper on his character and style. The second part of "Heiresses" brings the story to a satisfactory conclusion. "Thanatos Athanatos " also proceeds in its usual meandering style. Two papers on " The French iu Canton," and on " Oude and the Defence of Lucknow," treat of subjects which have occupied a large share of the public attention, but whose interest is now subsiding. In speaking of the latter, the writer exprepes a hope that, while misrule and anarchy are replaced in ()tide by a better government, the error will not be committed of leaving to a handful of men the preservation of " a kingdom bristling with forts, and a race the boldest iu India," resent ing any rule which interferes with their marauding habits. Mr. Dudley Costello continues his story of "Faint Heart never won Fair Lady" with more perseverance than originality. Colburn's United Service.—The chief interest of this magazine is divided between India and China, though a preliminary paper on the " Sanitary Condition of the British Army" treats of a subject which must naturally be of much importance to its military readers. Mr. Roes' interesting narrative of the siege of Luckuow receives a cordial tribute of sympathy and approval. A criticism on the Marquis of Dalhousie's administration of India accords to that statesman a larger share of credit and ability than has been usually allotted to him. The series of papers on the " Seat of Insurrection" describes Rohilcund, Farruckabad, and the dis tricts of the Jumna. " Oude, and its royal family," and will interest many whose attention has been at tracted by the recent events. " Coina and the Chinese" is the name of a paper that gives some interesting pictures of life in the Celestial Empire. The notes on military science are continued, and a great portion of the magazine is occupied by the naval and military intelligence, the stations of the militia, the lists of promotions and appointments, and similar intelligence.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY SIGNOR Bosco.—During the present week, Signor Basco, the renowned Wizard of the World, has been performing nightly before large audiences in the Assembly-room of the Free-trade Hall, Manchester. On Thursday night he had, as usual, a crowded house, and hi 3 performances and tricks were as clever as ever, and nothing extraordinary was noted in his demeanour. On hie returning to his lodgings after the performance had concluded, something appears to •have suddenly crossed his mind, and tempted him to commit the rash act of suicide by throwing himself into a pit in a brick croft, situated about a mile from his lodgings, and behind Strangeways Hall. He appears to have been followed by his wife, whose screams for help when she saw him in the pit attracted a policeman tc the spot. With some little difficulty the officer succeeded in dragging the signor out of the water, and he was then taken to the police-station , where he now remains ap patently " all right again," BRITISH Atian. and St. Law.

In conclusion, he observes with truth, that- th e lif e o f Shelley is ," the best antidote to the poison of his verses in the restless misery it pourtrays as th e resu lt o f his principles."

A letter from Vienna, in the _Augsburg Gazette, says—" The military authorities have taken a step which proves that the reduction in the army is not a provisional but a permanent measure. They have reduced the number of pupils in the military schools, which furnish yearly a certain supply of officers and non-commissioned officers. The school battalions and squadrons at Weiskuchen have been suppressed, as well as several other establishments of the same kind." The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Vienna which states that the Archduke Maximilian has tendered his resignation as Governor-General of the Lombardo-Venetian provinces, in consequence of some offensive demonstration on the part of the Milanese nobility, and that while the Emperor re fused to allow the Grand Duke to return home, three regiments have been sent to reinforce the Austrian garrisons in Italy.

RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH THE NORTH OF SCOT. LAND.—It will no doubt be interesting to the travelling public, full to lessees of grouse and deer shootings, to know that, with the exception of 13 miles (between Elgin and Keith), there is now unbroken railway com munication between London and Inverness. The last finished portion of the Inverness and Aberdeen Junc tion (the p leion between Dalvey and Elgin) is now open, and there can be no doubt that by she 12th Aug. the entire line will be in working operation; after which period. the mails leaving London at 8 p.m., will arrive at the Highland capital about the same hour on the fol lowing evening. The only engineering difficulty, it may be mentioned, in the portion of the line unfinished is the bri lge over the Spey, which is proceeding satisfac torily. YOUNG LADIES.—One of the great social evils of this age is admitted to be the reluctance of our young men to early marriages. They won't marry now, we are told, as they used to do, and ought to do, on 3001. a-year. Depend upon it, in many and many a case it is not the odd hundred or two that is wanting—it's the attraction. We have lost that joyous and familiar intercourse be tween neighbours' families, where young people's indivi dualities had space and opportunity to develops them. selves, and heart met heart. Our modish Cupid has overstrung his bow—his arrows don't hit home. Young ladies hide away the key of their hearts so carefully that nobody thinks it worth looking for. Who is to choose " the one" out of a bevy of proper-behaved damsels like a row of hollyhocks, differing only in height and shape and colour l Tuey all look alike, dross alike, talk alike, and walk alike ; and, for anything that appears to the contrary, think alike and feel alike. Why, such a choice is an act of deliberate intention—matrimony pre pense ; few men have the nerve to venture upon it. No wonder they calculate the probable butchers' and bakers' bill before they take such a plunge as that. Don't fancy that I talk like a cynical old bird, not to be caught with chaff. I take as the exponent of what my own feelings would be if I were young, and open as I once was to the conviction of bright eyes, my nephew, Jack Hawthorne, not long home from the Crimea, six feet one, independent, hairy as a Sky terrier, brave as a aco:,fd/ptlesubeeffetl s l u : of his cut e u t lion (clasps for Alma and Balaclava) gentle as a " ,b e h y s; hound, and I should say impressible decidedly. half your I missed most," said tie, in his open hear l ted, , pa i h v a n s e h r e e d . simplicity, was the sight of a woman's a0?..3n,t marry; upon I spoke :—" I wonder,. in J a a n ck t , ha y n o l u ivi a ng it would make you a happier the family nae PA so rm l y w would," u n l d d , N ' a s ai d vy days wh y notin the pin k s u m p o a k i n n i g o room girl,e ? young ladies ; catch ' again at the old manor tJack,here areiti t e n rj o e ctively r t girls nod► — n w i ea te dd he y en Yi fromts r ' h — ee a .

Oti the following morning they started for their horses, w hich had been turned out on the previous night, when one of them made off, and his owner when last seen was in pursuit. Not returning in the course of the day, his mate and a black fellow started in quest of him, and although they emote upon the tracks, both of man and horse, they did not succeed in coming up with either. On the following miming two black fellows started upon the track, which they fAlowed up a distance of 10 mile. in the direction of the Lachlan, observing as they passed along that in some places the imprint of his feet were clearly discernible, whilst in others they disappeared, those of the horse alone being seen, from which circum stances it was evident that he had overtaken his animal and occasionally mounted him. After beating about until completely wearied, they came upon the horse, but saw nothing of the missing man, whose only chance of safety consisted in his making for the Lachlan—a dile tance of about 20 miles from the spot where the horse was found ; but as there is not a drink of water in the intervening country, it is much to be feared that he has perished. When he started away he had upon his per son from 3001. to 4001. in notes, which he intended to lay out in stock. It will be recollected that it was in the came fearfully arid country that Mr. Stewart lost h's life some seven or eight years ago, from thirst—a fate which in all probability has overtaken the unfor• tunate stranger,—Sydney Empire,
