ONEY MARKET ♦ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been rather more activity, the demand fir most of the p-incipal staples having improved chiefly for home consump tion. The finer qualities of sugar there is an active inquiry, and sales have been effected at a slight advance on last Friday's quotations. In the Re fined Market an improvement has taken place, and an advance of about ls. per cwt. may be quoted on all descriptions of dried goods. The demand for good qualities of Plantation Ceylon coffee has been active, and moderate quantities have changed bands at fully lato rates. An active busine-s has been done in tea, and prices are firm. Speculators, how ever, are waiting the delivery of the letters by the Overland Mail. In rum and rice there has been very little business transacted, but some inquiry pre vailed for fruit. Muscatel raisins for home use have been in request at slightly improved prices. Saltpetre has been dull, with only a limited in quiry at rather lower quotations. In tallow rather an active business has been transacted, and prices are firm. P.Y.C. on the spot and all the month is quoted 55s : April to June, 535. 9d., and last three months, 535. ficl. to 545. Price of town tallow is quoted 535. 31. per cwt. nett cash. Accounts from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday manifested a very animated ap pearance, and prices of all descriptions were fully *d. per lb. dearer. The sales were estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 500 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and quotations slightly improved. A further large amount of gold, viz., 170,0007., was added yesterday to the bullion in the Bank of England. The movement will no doubt continue, as there is now a temporary suspension of the influx of silver from the Continent, which, while it lasted, necessitated large shipments of gold from this aide. Since the arrival of the last Indian ma 1 the silver market has been very dull, and the quotations have rather a downward tendency. The receipts for the United States are now very much curtailed, and the America, just arrived, has only brought about 1501. The exchange on London was very heavy, and business remained exceedingly dull. While trade remains in its present inactive state the re mittances will, necessarily, continue on a sma scale. Several rumours are afloat respecting the Indian loan, but no official information has yet been afforded. There is still an impression that 5,000,0001. will be negotiated in the first instance, leaving the remaining 3,000,0001. to be subscribed hereafter. The demand for money is steady, though limited, and in a few weeks it is generally imagined that there will be a sufficient renewal of trade to afford the monied interest increased employment for the vast amount of capital now at their disposal. The advices from New York report a continued accumulation of specie in the New York City Banks. On the 6th inst., the total stood at 6,555,0001., being more than a million dollars larger than at any previous period. Increased firmness has been manifested in the market for public securities, and a slight advance has taken place. Altogether there is an improved tone, but the transactions are still very much restricted. Consols have been 961 to 971 for money, and 97 to 97/ for account. They are now 965 to 97 and 97 to 97/ respectively. The March Exchequer Bills are 363. to 38s. premium; the June ditto, 355. to 38s. premium ; and the Bands, 1859, 104 to 101/. In the Foreign Stock Market business is quiet, but quotations exhibit an upward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 101 i ; Brazilian 4i per Cents., 1011 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 81R- 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 562- ; Russian 4i per Cents., 1001 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 44i- ; ditto Deferred, 261; and ditto Certificltes, Business in the Railway Share Market this morning has been rather active, and an improve ment of about to per Cont. may be quoted on most of the leading lines. Caledonians, Eastern Counties, Great Northerns, North-Eastern (Ber wick), and North-E .stern, (York), improved ss. Great Western, North-Western, and South- Eastern, 10s., and Lancashire and Yorkshire, U. In the Foreign and Colonial lines the transactions have been moderate, but there is little variation to report in prices. East Indian Lave improved 103., and Grand Trunk of Canada, ss. Mining Shares have been neglectel. Fortuna are quoted 2 to 2, and Pontjibaud 6. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are at slightly reduced rates. City Bank declined about ss. ; London and Westminster, ss. ; Union of London improved ss. ; and Provincial of Ire- A•nd, 10s. ; Electric Telegraph declined 11. BRIM FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY.

Pollock to the board of direction of the Fast India Company. Sir G. Pollock succeeds Sir Lawrence Peel, whose term of appointment expires in April next, and who does not wish to be reappointed. —Homeward Mail. DEATH OF THE EARL OF RANFIIRLY.—We regret to announce the demi.te, in his seventy-second year, of the Earl of Ranfurly. Intelligence of the tnourrful event was received by telegraph yesterday morein2 . , from Ireland, by Mr. and Lady Adelaide Goff, and other members of his lordship' s f am il y s t ay i ng in town. The latnen',ed earl , expired at 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, at Dungan ton-park, Tyrone, after a lengthened illness. A: reply to the Tiverton address which was forwarded to his lordship about a fortnight since has been received from Lord Palmerston. He thanks his ecnatituents for entertaining so favourable an opinion of his conduct while at the head of affair's ; and adds, that he cares not on which side of the house he sits, if the present Ministry adopt the measures and carry on the intentions of their immediate predecessors, He intimates his intention not to give the Derby government unnecessary trouble. Western Times. A letter from Milan, of the 16,h, says :—" The execu- Von of Orsini bas produced a slight agitation here. Many people received black crape bands er c!osed in anonymous letters, recommending them to wear the bands round their arms on the day t f the execution. Some tlrew those letters with their consents into the fire. Others, remembering the tricks of the police in old times, suspected a trap, and, by way of precaution, sent the letters to the police-office. Three men have been arrested on suspicion, one of whom was a fellow-prisoner With Orsini at Mantua DRATH OR ALDERMAN FAREBROTHER.—This vene rable member of the Corporation of the City of London died at half-past three o'clock in the morning of yester day, at his country mansion near Clapham, after a most lingering affintion. He died at the matured age of 76. The deceased gentleman was an alderman of the City of London for the long term of 32 years, during which pro tracted period be represented the Lime -street ward in that capacity, and for which there is now, of courie, a vacancy. There appears t) be no doubt hut that Mr. blechi will be the eucceaeor of the worthy alderman, SH kictE Paid RAILWAYS. 10 Ambg. Nottng. Bost. & Eastn. June ,11 Belfast & Ballymena 11 I Blrmng.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at half past four o'clock. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH presented a petition against any f .rtber grant to the College of Maynooth. Lord CRANWORTH pre -anted a petition with refe rence to the law of libel, praying that a speaker might be held equally liable with the printer to prosecution. THE ENLISTMENT OF KROOMEN. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he regretted he had left the house when the noble lord opposite put a question to the Under Secretary for War with respect to recruiting the Indian army from the natives of the West Coast of Africa. It was true a scheme had been entertained for the enlistment of Kroomen, as ttley were persons who for the last 50 years bad served with good effect in a great many of her Majesty's ships and other vessels trading. His object in taking the scheme into his consideration was, that he thought it would save the lives of soldiers in India, and had enabled the Government to send a portion of the troops now in India to China, where their ser vices were urgently required. The army in India was now in a very peculiar position, it having usually had the services of a great number of the natives, but we have unfortunate y had reason to distrust that bo'y. One of the dangers that most pressed upon the Govern ment was that as the native army was uniformly recruited from Asia, the same cause that produced mut i ny on one • and ther e f ore h e the I n di an arm y andas with this view cthoughtatsoi o n p ir m te might s o d d su o ut ye 8:8 so t o e a cv n oe o mn t t h p, e o r se be had been anxious to obtain the services of the Kroo men, who had already proved themselves to be good Tia.ir average height was 5 feet 9 inches. They eat nothing but rice, which was very easily obtained in Ben g al. They had very small pay, and were generally contented to take muskets and ammunition in lieu cf pay, and in addition to all this they were dead shots. (Hear, hear.) For these reasons be thought it desirable to try an experiment with the Indian army, in the first instance, on the rivers whero her Majesty's seamen were much required. He flood, however, that this experiment could not be tried without an alteration in the Mutiny Act ;- and he accordingly no:ified to his noble friend that he wished that alteration made but he was informed that 7su;ll - I;alter;iion as was required could not be made on the third reading. He was, therefore, obliged to relinquish the obj -et he had in view, which be did with very great regret. Lord BROUGHAM said he asked the question be cause he had been irf irined that the officers to whom he had alluded were to have lest to n this evenirg. Earl of ELLENBOROUG.I—Q ute so; tae mail goes out to-night. Lord BROUGHAM thought without the greatest care was exercised in carrying out such a plan, it would lead to a revival of the slave trade. He was afraid that not merely the Kroomen w iuld be exported, but t , at it would result in the takiiig of the free Negroes, as they were termed. Und-T all the circuut,tances, he was glad to bear that the tiob:e coil bad been unable to carry out his object. Earl DERBY protested against the doctrine that because the country was determintd to take every step possib:e to put an end to the Flave trade in Africa they should be precluded from availing themselves of the ser vice of the liroomen, aho had been employed with good effect in her Majesty's navy. THE PATRIOTIC FUND. _ _ The Duke of NORFOLK gave notice that after the Easter Recess he should call the attention of their lord ships to the second report of the comn3issionars of the Patriotic Fund. TRANSFER OF LAND BILL. Lord CRANWORT.EI rose to move the second read Lag of this bill. (LEFT EMEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAIun took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

OGILVY presented a curious petition, but respectiully worded, from the "Latter Thy Saints," praying the house to legalise bigamy. THE CASE OF MI. ISAAC nunr._ In answer to a question from Sir J. TRELAWNEY, Sir J. GRAHAM stated, as chairman of the com mittee referred to, he had received no instruction from his colleagues to make any proposition to the House in reference to this matter, and in respect to the future he individually had no intention to do so.

THE PRINCIPALITY OF DIIA R. Mr, J. B. SMITH asked the Secretary of the Board of Control, w h e th er the board had received intelligence that the Government of India had confiscated and annexed the Principality of Dhar; whether orders for such proceedings emanated from the Board of Control, and, if not, whether the board approved and sanctioned this anrexation ? Mr. H. BAILLIE said that by the mars of yesterday a despatch was received from India, containing a co py of a proclamation is s u e d by the political agent of the Governor-General in Central India (Sir R. Hamilton) in which the Rajah of Dbar was dethroned. The Rajah of Dhar was a lad 13 years of age, and had succeeded to the principality by adoption. The reason assigned in site proclamation, which was issued on the sole authority of the Governor-General of India, for dethroning the rajah, was treason in the Durber, which was composed of his friends and relations. • POLICE (DUBLIN). Mr. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary fur Ireland if the Government intended to introduce any police bill for the city of Dublin this year ? Lord NAAS said he hoped to be able to introduce such a bill shortly after the Easter recess. THE PASSPORT SYSTEM. Mr. MONCKTON MILNES called the attention of the house to the vexations to which British subjects were exposed by the late alteration in the Passport System in France ; and moved for the following papers :—"C pies of correspondence between her Majesty's Government and that of the Emperor of the French, on the late alte rations in the Passport System ; and of the several regu lations respecting passports issued by the Foreign Office since 1815, with the fees charged on their delivery." In the course of his remarks the hoe. gentleman said that nearly 100,000 persons had for some time past en joyed the privilege of spending a few days in Calais and Boulogne without requiring a passport. The effect of the present system was to put as end to such traffic, and stop the free communication that had hitherto existed between the two countries. The number of pat. sengers for the past six weeks, compared with the cor responding period of last year, between Dover and Calais bad decreased 1,167, and had dwindled down to about nine a-day each packet. The honourable gentleman then referred to the incon venience and hardship these regulations bad in flicted on members who a era ignorant of them, and observed that he could not believe they were to be attributed to the head of the enlightened Govern ment of France, but rather to the overzeal of subordinates. Referricg to the regulations that bad been issued, he complained that it was as unjust demand to make the magistrates of this country respousibh, for the pers:ll4 who applied to them for re c urnmendatioos fir passports. It was (gully as oh j ctionable that magistrates should be obliged to send their seals to the Foreign-office for the purposes of identification if necessary. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) After again referring to cases of personal inconvenience that had arisen owing to these new regulations, the hon, gentleman said his object in moving for the correspondence was that tt.e house should realy know on what grounds the alteration had been made. He considered a passport required by an Englishman should only be a certificate of identification, and noc one veuehiog for the holder's morality and respectability. Every Englishman had a right to travel on the Continent, and obtain the protection of the representatives of this country without any questions being put to him, and without molestation, so long as he conducted hiumel with propriety. He suggested the transfer of the issue of passports should be removed moted; Ensign J.[St. G.

Yesterday a deputation from the districts of Westminster, Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, &c., waited upon the First Lord of the Treasury, for the purpose of pointing out to him the impropriety of imposing a toll on.foot-passengers passing alon g th e new Chelsea-bridge. Th-3 deputation comprised members of the yes tries of the parishes more immediately inteiested in the ma ter. It consisted of Sir J. 'V. sb e n e, Bart , M.P. ; Sir De Lacy Evans , M. ; the Hon. George Byog, M.P. ; Mr. R. Banbury, M , p . . Mr. J. &lcock, M.P. ; Mr. Slaney, M.P. ; Wynne, M.P. ; Mr. Brady, M.P. ; Mr. Tite s M.P. ; Mr. Miller, M. P. There were also present, as connected with the respective parishes repre sented by the deputation, Captain Lambert, B. Belcher, J. Jenkinson, J. Hamilton, Dr. Lewis, Dr. Aldis, Mr. Taylor, Mr. W. Jones, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. E. Jones , Mr. Burgess, Mr. Gooch, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Howell , Mr. Bertolacci, Mr. Engle field, Mr. Leete, Mr. Bradley, Mr. Hutchins, &c. Sir J. V. Shelley, Bart., M.P., together with Mr. Bertolacci, one of the vestrymen of St. G.forge'e, Hanover-square, presented a memorial from the vestry of that parish, against the impo sition of a toll on foot passengers on the bridge ; and a similar memorial was presented by the Hon. George Byng, M.P., and Mr. W. Tite, M.P., who appeared as the representatives of the vestry of Chelsea. Sir JOHN SHELLEY, in introducing the deputa tion, said he had no doubt the present Plitne Minister was aware of the facts connected with this case. A similar deputation had waited upon Lord Palmerston last year as regarded the same sub ject ; and that noble lord had given that deputa tion to understand that an arrangement on the subject would be made. The object of the Govern ment was to make a park for.the public; but that was not .a public park for the entrance to which the public had to pay ; and it was in consequence of this that he came forward on the present occasion. If they viewed the matter in a pecu- . niary point of view, there was 104 acres of land in the market on the other side of the bridge,.and. . if they sold this at the advanced rate which the re -1 mission of these tolls would permit of their doing, they would be insuring a great benefit to the com munity. The hon. baronet then went on to state tie proceedings whi c h h a d t a k en place respecting the matter since it had been brought before puke men t. It was well known that a petition had be presented to :Parliament for the opening - of thits blidge to the public, and he might say that such petitit n had the favour of the general body of the public. It had, however, been disregard e d by th e late Government, and they now came to the Go vernment now in power, in order to see whether they could get that justice out of them which they considered due to the public. (Hear, hear.) Sir DE LACY EVANS said lie had also been sent there as one of a depntAti on and he could m o st sincerely state th e f eel i ngs of working classes residing in the locality on the subj. cf. He had at tended several meetings of these parties, and he found that the spirit that actuated them was for having the toll put off this bridge. So far as his own opinion was concerned, he thoudit it was ab to cl that Government should form, what they called a park for the benefit of the people, and that they should put an embargo on the entrrnce to that park, so far as the people are concerned. Mr. BYNG, M.P., said he had attended several public meetings on the subject, and the opinion he had heard expressed at all of them was, that the toll en this bridge should be remitted. Mr. TITE, M.P., abet Aated, that he, being aware of the °piteous of the community respecting the matter, could ewe that the general feeling of the public was agaiuht the imposition of any such toll as that which would be levied under the present measure. Lord DERBY said he had listened with the greatest attention to the representations whi h had been made to him by the deputation which appeared be • fore him. In respect of this else, it was laid down by act of Parliament. So far as he was aware, the act provided that a toll should be levied on the bridge in order to make up for the sum of money expended upon it in its erection. If it was found that the expense could be made up in any other shape, no doubt it wou ld h e d one ; but under pre sent circumstance, he could give no further inti mation on the matter. Ile looked at the question in this way—there was a lare ' a suw of money which the country had laid ou t on the formation and erec tion of these works ; the public credit was pledged in a manlier iu respect of them, and they were, xow called upon to implement the coutra3t which. had been entered into respecting them. Ho therefore looked at this question as one in respect to which Parliament was pledged, but at the same time he could not help saying that there was subject' for considerAtiou, whether the'sum to be derived from the increase of value which the land to be_sold would bring would not compensate fur what might be 10-t on the remission of toll upon foot pasaquagers passing over the bridge. If it can he proved:, 'that the increased value of the property by the opening of the bridge toll-free would cover the expenditure which had been laid out upon the formation of this park, and for which the public credit is pledged, he, for one, would not have the least objection. All he could say on the present occasion WAS, that ho would take the subjeet into consideration, and that if he found he could, consistent with the duty he owed to the public, remit the impost complained of, ho would at once dose. (Hear.) Mr. SLANEY, M.P., als) urged upon his l or d s hi p the propriety of rewitting this toll, and stetted that it would be a great advantage to the commamity. Sir DE LACY EVANS likewise said the pub2ic out of doors were locking for a measure such as was demanded by the present deputation which had waited upon his lordship, and he hoped that they would not be disappointed. The Earl of DERBY—WeII, all I can say is, that we are bound to see that the amount be made up which it has cost the country for the formation of this bridge, and if we find that we can remit the toll, as a means of making up that amount, we will do s'. In the meantime we have faith to keep with the country. The expense was laid out oal the faith of this toll, and until we see that by the , remission of it the surplus can be made up by the advanc d price which the property in the vicinity of the park may yield us, we do not consider our selves in a position to remit the impost . . At the same time, we will take the matter into our anai e us consideration, and if we find that we can, con si,t ntly witti our duty to the public service, remit the t we will at once do so. Tho deputtion, after adinowledf;ing the courte ous mariner in which they had been received by the noble earl at the head of the Government and the noble lord the First Commissioner of Works, then withdrew.
