The Foreign Market is rather heavy. Italian and Egyytiah (1861) ore the only exceptions, these two stocks having advanced s and respectively, to 551 and 86i. The market is otherwise about per cent. lower. American Securities are steady. The 5-20's are 801 to 801; Erie, 221 to 23 ; Minos, 98 to 99 ; and Atlantic Bonds, 26 to 261. Railway Shares are dull, and in several instances prices show a relapse. Metropolitan Extension is lower, at 991 ; Great Northern (A) I, at 1081 to 1 09 ; and a decline of is marked in Great Wes terg at 49 to 491. Continental Railway Shares are in fair request. Great Luxemburg is rather firmer at 101 to 1, and lombardo-Venetian at 18/ 191. There were no gold operations at the Bank yes .erday. The Neva, from the West Indies, has brought £173,000, the Niagara, from Melbourne, £31,000, and the Hansa, from New York, £2,105. The mail from Guayaquil bas brought a remit 'twice of £1,154, on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. The Syria left Marseilles with £lO,OOO for Singa pore, £30,000 for Penang, £63,000 for Calcutta, and £237,000 for Bombay. To do away with any temptations for unscrupu lous persons to attempt bribery to get inferior goods passed in case of disputes or differences of opinion with the receiving officers as to quality, the an nexed memorandum has been issued :—" Complaints having been preferred by contractors and others of their articles being rejected on insufficient grounds it is to be understood that in any case in future where parties may consider themselves in- Jared by rejections, their Lordships will be pre pared to consider the question with a view to au in dependent re-inspection of the articles on applica tion being made in writing to the Financial Secre tary of the Admiralty.—By command of their Lordships, " W. E. BAXTER." The East Indian Railway Company have noti fied that they have received authority from the , Secretary o f St a t e t o i ssue 50,000 s h ares o f £2O each bearing interest at the rate of £5 per cent. Per annum, at a premium of £1 per share. A de posit of 5..5 per share, with the premium of per share, must be paid on or before the 11th of Ally next, and further calls of £5 per share will be made at intervals of about three month; from that date. -the allotment will be made rateably among the shareholders. Letters from the Republic of Ecuador state that on the 19th of March a General Veintermilla at tempted to make a revolution in Guayaquil against Don Garcia Moreno and in favour of the former Government. He had the artillery on his side, and it is thought might have succeeded in taking the town if he had not been shot after fighting for more than four hours. Nearly 100 are reported to have been killed, and 50 or GO wounded. Mary of the citizens also were wounded or killed by the dis charge of grape shot in the streets. Business was at a stand. A great, and to the mercantile community most welcome, change appears to have been inaugurated at the Admiralty in their mode of transacting com mercial business. Hitherto the purchases for the navy carried on under the contract system with an interminable number of stipulations and penalties to prevent fraud have resulted in the Government being exposed to an organised course of chicanery ♦vhich has operated most disastrously for the public Service. It is stated that the works of the Tanaboff-Kos ioff Railway are progresieing rapidly, and that the line will be opened in September next. It forius a continuation of the Riazau-Kozlow Railway, the receipts of which amounted in 1867 to 1,948,417 roubles, and increased in 1868 to 3,084,553 roubles. The Stock Exchange Committee have ordered the scrip of the Victoria (Australia) Five per Cent. Rlilway Loan to be officially quoted. At a meeting of shareholders of the Societe Agri cole et Industiielle d'Egypte, Mr. A. S. King, the chairman, reported the progress made by the c of co mmittee silica the last meeting in prosecuting the claim s the shareholders upon the Viceroy of E gypt. It was stat e d that th e F ore i gn Office had adopted the case, and had telegraphed in !tractions to the Consul-General in Egypt to I nsist upon an i mme di a t e sett l ement on t h e same erms as those just obtained by the French Foreign Office. :::13ank Shares are again without particular feature, and prices generally are steady. F oreign Mining Shares are very quiet. BEITISII FUNDS—TWO O'CLOCK. i, GOVERNMENT FUNDS. ° .par Ceht. Consols - 1 i 8 D itto for Ac coun t , per Cont.

The defendant said that on the previous night, as ha was leaving his master's yard, h.) saw the prisoner Symes committing a nuisance and requested him to leave, as his wife was coming out, upon which Sytm-s struck him twice on the hat with . a stick, and then rushed after him and knocked him down and put his thumb into his (corn plainant's) eye and pushed it out, causing him great pain, and he had to push his eye back into its proper place. Mr. Tyrwhitt sentenced Symes to six weeks' with hard labour, and Laws to pay a fine of 10s., or seven days. THAMES.

Gd.. from the shop of Mr. James Pardtt, No. 160, Whitellorse-street, Lirnehouse. The prisoner was seen to take the piece of beef off the prosecutor's shop board and conceal it under her shawl. When taken into custoly she had the impudence to say she intended to cook the beef for her dinner, and had in vited a party with the intention of giving them a good feed of roast beef.

A telegram from Ottawa, published by the New York Times, says : " It is believed in well-informed circles that Sir George E. Cartier, Sir John A. McDonald, and the Hon. Messrs. Howe and Tilley will be made lords, under the bill introduced by Earl Russell, creating life peerages." The Liverpool Courier has been requested by Mr. John Pemberton Heywood, of Norris Green, to contradict the rumour which has been published in the Manchester and other newspapers that he was about to be made a peer. Mr. Heywood says there is no foundation whatever for such a statement. NEW PLAN OF EMIGRATION. A body of working men have devised for them. selves a plan of emigration which promises better success than some of the rash schemes lately talked of. A society has been formed for raising a capital of £250,000 by shares of £1 each, pay able by weekly instalments. The managers wrote to the governor and Legislature of Nebraska, and received the information they wanted, as well as the offer of a large tract of land at a merely nominal price. The societyintend to colonise thi s t ract, an d b y way o f ascerta i n i ng the w h o l e truth with regard to it they have sent out sixteen "pioneers," chosen by ballot. Should their report be favourable, other members will be ballotted for, until the land has been properly divided. Here, then, is a "self-supporting " scheme of emigration, conducted with out even a preliminary appeal to the public. The land allotted to each emigrant is, we presume, to be paid for gradually, but its original price will not render this obli gation a heavy burden. The result of this experiment ought to be interesting to those who are contending that it is the duty of the Government to assist m in e t t h i e a w a l z l e o t l e rle deportation of the working classes.—pull Mr. Bass, M.P. for Derby, who has been unable to vote in the recent divisions on the Irish Church question ro is so far improved in health as t o b e a b le to take u drivesdrives almost daily. As soon as the weathe r b ecomes th i t settled and genial, he will visit his favourite retreat in Sectland. A case of considerable importance to masters and worlonon wal heard at the Rotherham County Court on .Saturday. It Lad Leen sent duwn from a superior court fur trial. A lad named Coates sued (by Lis father) the rarkgato Iron Company, Limited), for the sum of damages for injuries sustained by Lim in consequence of tho alleged negligence of the defendants. The boy had been made a cripple for life by a quantity of red hot iron falling upon him from of " t,01!y," which lie was loading from the furnace to the roll.. It was argued on behalf of the plaintiff that the company worn responsible for the accident by, reason of the metal flooring being uneven, thprrhy causing the Loy to be tripped up. The jury found for the plaintiff, and awarded him £220 damages. It is supposed, however, that the superior courts will bo appealed to again on the ground that the verdict was not in accordance with the evidence. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1E69.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. MONDAY, April 26, • The Marseilles journals have another poisoning case to report. The story is mysterious, and, of course, has been rendered highly scandalous ; reflecting on. a member of the priesthood. A young woman, the wife of a labourer, was in the service of an abb(i. The husband, who wai previously in perfect health, died suddenly. The occurrence was so unexpected that a SUB . picion arose that he had been poisoned. The wife was arrested, and confessed the crime,,but added that she was urged to it by the abbe. Both arc in prison, and Will shortly be tried. Here is ttn outline which will probably be filled up with another collection of domestic details. Dr. Epstein, who was accidentally wounded whilst per forming a trick at the Cirque Napoleon, is likely, accord ing to Dr. Nelaton; to recover. fhe EZentlard has died at last, but not the death of the righteous. Its Saturday's issue contained this notice : " The Etenddrel, succumbing to the consequences of the preventive arrest of its chief editor, notwith standing the efforts of its provisional administration, is obliged to suspend its publication from this day." The Taillefer affair is being actively inquired into by M. de Turcy, the examining magistrate. No doubt if every thing be disclosed the story will prove a remarkable one, for in its present aspect it is entirely unintelligible. We are told that the greater part of the £32,000 received by M. Pic as his share of Taillefer's frauds was spent upon the Etendard, and yet this astonishing journal has been in existence but a short time, and received during its brief career all the Government advertisements. The public will be slow to believe that all this money was absorbed by the inglorious Etendard. The public meeting orators seem to have definitely taken the place of the newspaper writers as the favoured objects of Imperial wrath. The Correctional Tribunal has just been dealing with five of the heroes who delight in being the centre of attraction at Belleville. A terrible accusation—inciting to hatred and contempt the Govern ment, provoking disobedience of the law, resisting the agents of the public force, &c.—was followed by the inevitable conviction. All five were sentenced to a fine of 113, and imprisonment for terms varying from three to six months. M. Varin, a popular dramatic author, has just died at the age of 70. He was the writer of about 150 pieces, mostly played at the Vaudeville, Varidt4,s, and Palais- Royal Theatres, among the best known being the " Saltimbanques," in which Frederick Lemaitre obtained one of his greatest successes, the," Chamber h Deux Lits." the " Rue de la Lune," &c. The Emperor drove to the Bois de Boulogne on Satur day, and walked on the Margin of the lake for a consider able distance. He seemed in capital health. His Majesty attends tolerably closely to State affairs, as well as to matters of less importance which interest him. Commu nication between Calais and Dover seems to be his espe cial hobby. He is yet undecided, I am told, whether to give his weighty aid to the project of a bridgeor a tunnel. Plans are being prepared, and experiments made with the bridge, but the tunnel is not forgotten. The. Emperor had a long interview on Saturday with Lord Richard Grosvenor on this subject. On the same day his Majesty gave another audience respecting a much less agreeable question. M. Frere-Orban had a long private conversa tion touching the Belgian affair. What passed, of course nobody knows ; but it is rumoured that the Emperor specially desired the extension of M. Fr4e-Orban's stay in Paris in order that the negotiations which have termi nated so badly might be reopened. This request, it appears, has been acceded to, and the Belgian Minister has made the concession, which, if the Independence Beige be correct, will settle the business. The Belgian Government offers to buy the Luxembourg line and lease a portion of it to the East of France Company. This ought to settle the difficulty, for it is a virtual surrender of nearly all that France demanded. This is the last 17ay of the session. The law respecting 1 the pensions to the old soldiers of the Republic and the Empire comes on to-day, and a large number of these worthies are gathering on the benches set apart for the use of the public. Some of them have determined, apparently, to impress the torpid deputies with sentiments of historical pride, for they are dressed in the uniforms similar to those in which they fought the battles of the First Napoleon. It is expected that M. Rouher will defend the law for granting these veterans a pension. Hence a good many ladies have gathered on the diplomatic and Minibterial tribunes. Every thing is ready—except the deputies. M. Schneider has taken his seat, and looks blandly at the, vast hemicycle of desert before him. A few of the representa tives of Frapce have at length crawled in, and the business'commences by M. Gujroult with a speech on the new opera buildings. He has promised to be short and not ask for money, and therefore they are learing him. The Government has apparently resigned itself to allowing several of the Third Party to slip into the next Parliament. In several places candi dates of this shade of politics are left in undis turbed repose, an un,►,Ticial candidate having no chance against them. But this action of the 'Govern ment is from necessity, and not choice. 'Wherever there isa prospect of beating the Third Party an Imperialist has been put up. The next Corps Legislatif will be more numerous than the one which gives up the ghost to-day. In 1852 the number of deputies was 261; in 1857, 267; in 1866, 272—Savoy and Nice have been added. This year it will be 283. Two departments—the Seine and the Var —are to have one deputy less, and thirteen are to have one snore—balance, eleven. The two who are to be cut off in their sins behave badly ; but the thirteen destined to exaltation have behaved well. Lord Stanley of Alderley is said to be in a fast sinking condition. The petition which Sir Sidney I'Vaterlow's friends thought of bringing against the return of Major Walker for Dumfriesshire has been altogether abauloned. Mr. J. Lotbrop Motley will leave New Yolk for England on the 19th of May, and Mr. Washburue, for France, on the Ist of May. The Colonial Prisoners Removal Bill, brought from the Lords, has just been printed. It authorises the removal of prisoners from one colony to another for purposes of punishment, and provides that all such removals hitherto made shall be valid for all purposes. The question which has been raised between the Sheriffs of Middlesex and the landlord of the house lately occupied by Benjamin Higgs, at Teddiugton, was again adjourned at Judges' Chambers on Monday. It will come before Vice-Chancellor James again in a few days. Lord Chief Justice Bovill, who had been prevented for a week from performing Lis judicial duties by illness, on Monday took his seat upon the bench in the Court of Common Pleas, and proceeded with the hearing of cases in the special paper. On Sunday, at the Victoria Theatre, the well known Richard Weaver was engaged to deliver a farewell sermon, and a most motley but enormous concourse of per sons attended. Unfortunately the crush was so great that, amongst other accidents, a young child was dragged out of its mother's arms and trampled under foot. The Dublin Court of Common Pleas has ordered Mr. Barry, Mr. Weguelin's solicitor at the Yougbal election, to show cause to-day why he should not be suspended from practising as an attorney for his recent speech im pugning the conduct of the judge who tried the election petition. The Yorkshire Post is authorised to state that the report that the family of the late Captain Edwards have re ceived £25,000 as compensation from the London and North-Western Railway Company for the loss cf that gentleman and his son in the accident at Aborgele is untrue, the executors of Captain Edwards not having received any compensation whatever from that company. A man named Wm. Thompson, a lodging-house keeper in Queen-street, Blackburn, purchased a number of bottles at a sale on Thursday, and three of them, apparently containing water, were placed on a large teapOt by Thomp son, and left on the footpath near his house door. Two boys, aged about four years, sons of Thompson and Henry Sharpies, grocer, saw the bottles on Friday evening, and they drank some of the contents. Both wont frightfully burned, the liquor turning out to bo vitriol. On Saturda% their case was considered beyond Lope. Some correspondence between Mr. Murphy and the Ilonie-office is published. Mr. Murphy in a very long letter con plains that his lecture at North Shields was prevented. Ho sets forth that he is loyal to the laws and religion of the country ; that ho does not denounce her Majesty no. abuse her Ministers ; that he calls nobody heathen or heretic Ile admits, however, that he is excitable "as an Irishman,' but denies that he has used langu:qo ted to pronto:. a breath of the I ()ace. lie punts out that the law nude which Lis '.eetme was .stopped is obsolete, and with an air o. suppressed triumph, declares that it was directed against ; Burnish conspiracy of 179'.). Ile concludes by asking for interview, lu the short, curt, official letters with which a , many correspondences are quashes', Mr. Murphy is informN: nit " Mr. Bruce must decline to comply with your an pll a.ion." By another official correspondence we are inform& that the action against Mr. Bradlaugh on account of his publi cation of the National Reformer, is btayed. Mr.Bradlangh pro tests that a Liberal Government ought never to have carrfec on the action. The point raised was not that the paper war blasphemous, tut was an atttmpt, in a to chuical point, tt ruin the secularist and overkhrow his journal by a side _ wind.

A I?7' UNIUN.- CI HIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the ;;übseribers to the Art Union was held today at the Royal Adelphi Theatre. The annual report of the dir-Jctors was read by Mr. Lewis Pockcock, from which it appeared the Art Union of London had now been in operation thirty-two year,:, and, daring that time, had cA lecke' for the parposa of aiding in ths; advance ment of art, and thereby in the advance ment of civilization, a sum exceedi ng £376 , 000 . The premium of two hundred guineas for a series of not less than twenty partially-shaded drawings (size 12 in. by 8 in.), illustrating some poeticil or historical work of a British author, or events in British history, the selection being left to the di;,cre Lion of the artists, brought 34 sets of designs, of vari-. ous degrees of merit. After due consideration the coun cil selected as most deserving of the premium offered a series illustrative of Charles Kingsley's well known story of " Hereward the Wake." These drawings were afterwards found to be the work of of 11. C. Mous, already known to the subscribers for his admirable designs to the "Pilgrim's Pro gress." These designs are of a very high order of merit, and, as they fulfil the stipulations of the ad vertisement in every particular, your council have placed them in the hands of Mr. Charles Lewis to be engraved, and a copy of the series will be pre sented to each subscriber in the ensuing year. The amount available for the purchase of works of art from the public galleries, viz., £4,922 10s., bas been thus allotted :-22 works at £lO each ; 21 at £l5 ; 12 at £2O ; 12 at £25 ; 12 at £3O ; £lO at £35 ; 8 at £4O; 5 at /45 ; 6 at £5O ; 4 at £6O ; 4 at £75 ; 3 at £lOO ; 2 at £l5O ; and 1 at £2OO. The report having been received, the drawing for prizes was proceeded with. INFERIA.L BARU A MENI HOUSE OF LORDS.-LAST EVENING. The LORD 011ANCELLoR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord STRATIEEDEN laid on the table a bill exempting militia, yeomanry, and volunteers from s er ving o n grand . . - juries. The bill was read a first time. Their lordships then proceeded to further consider the bill for the improvement of tho tenure of land in Ireland. Earl GRAN VILLE complained of the speech delivered by Lord Grey on the second reading, as calculated to pro duce an erroneous impression. I (Earl GREY expressed his belief that the passingof Lord Clanecardo's bill would produce a beneficial effect in Ire land, and regretted that the Government were not pre part d to give it their support. After some further discussion tho Marquis of CLANRI GARDE postponed the further consideration of the bill till the 25th of May. Their lordships ttien:adjiurned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE MURDER AT DOVER. Mr. CARDWELL, in reply to a question from Mr. I'. Taylor, said it was quite true that Corporal Barnes had been suspected of insanity, and had been 53 days in the h9spitbl and then discharged, ou.the surgeon pronouncing him not insane, and that ho continued to perform his duties properly and well. He was, however, of opinion that neglect did not attach to the surgeon, and the Di rector:General was about to communicate officially with him. DOVER HOUSE. Mr PARDWELL, in reply to Mr. Shaw, said it was not true that Government had purchased the lease of Dover liouso. The best mode of conducting the business of the Horse Guards and War-office would be by having the two departments under one roof, and that matter was now under consideration. IRISH RAILWAYS. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. 0. Gore, NIA that Government were aware of the strong wish of the Irish represe►,ta:ives and other prsons of great influence that a measure wi!h respect to the Government taking the Irish railways in hand, end that a bill to that effect might be form( d on the second report of the commissionersappointed to inquire into the subject, but Government thought other methods might be thought of, and therefore he could pro mise that the subject should receive that respectful consi. iteration to which it was entitled. It would b.) wrong for hint, at the present moment, to give any at.swer that ►night lead to any anticipation as to what that measure would be.. THE TEMPLE COLLECTION. Mr. WALPOLE, in reply to Mr. Lowther sail it was quite true that other objects of a similar description had been purchased by the trustees, and that the whole of tho articles had gof mixed up in the Temple collection—had in fact, as a collection, passed away. He had, hoW ever, to inform the hon. gentleman that such I%as not the case, and directions had been given to have the whole of the Temple collection properly and distinctly labelled. INDIAN FINANCE. Mr. GRANT-DUFF said the account of the Home changes were all fully published in the Government Gazette" of India, and he thought quite in detail. The "Gazette" was circulated, and ho had every reason to believe the Indian public had full means of becoming acquainted with them. lie thought the dissatisfaction that existed on the subject arose from misconception. SMOKING ON RAILWAYS. Mr. BRIGHT, in roply to Mr. Cadogan, said ho was cite aware of the antagonistic legislation which had Aken place with regard to the Metropolitan district rail- ways with ri.-speet to smoking. The Board of Trade could not be expected to settle every thing, and under all the circumstances he thought the matter had better be left to the discretion of the directors. THE COURT HOUSE, GRAVESEND. Mr. AYItTON informed Sir C. Wing:ield that the rote for building the Court-house was in Cie estimates now on the table, and as soon as it was passed the building would be proceeded with. THE BANDA PRIZE MONEY. Mr. GRAN T DUFF said there was some mistake about the seven men in the sth battery 17th brigade of the Royal Artillery not getting their share of the money. The commanding officer said he had not received it, and ac cordingly the Madras Government had been requested to make some inquiry into the mistake.! THE POST-OFFICE AND ORDINARY SAVINGS BANKS Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not assent to the request to allow the ordinary savings banks to receive the same amount from a single depositor as he allowed the post-office savings banks. The interest paid by the Government to the ordinary savings banks was.£3 ss. and the post-office savings banks X 2 10s.,but with the former there was no guaranteed security, whilst with the pest-office savings banks there was the security of the Government. He did not mean to say that the depositors in ordinary savings banks were not en titled to every consideration, but he thought that, considering the large sums that had been lost in ordinary savings banks by poor people, and that frauds might still be perpetrated by the dishonest in the manage ment of those establishments, he did not fuel disposed to extend the power that they possessed. RATING OF MINES. Mr. BRI7CE informed Colonel Duncombe, that a bill for the rating of mines would very shortly be introduced. POSTAL COMMUNICATION. The Marquis of lIARTINGTON said he was in com munication with the Great Western railway with a view of improving the conveyance of letters from the midland counties to the western counties of South Wales. STORAGE OF SALTPETRE. Mr. CARDWELL informed Alderman Lawrence that he Government had come to the determination of remov ng all saltpetre stored in private warehouses. THE IRISH CHURCH. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. DISRAELI said he had some amendments to snake to most of the clauses, but be must be permitted, before doing so, to refute the charges which had been made against those who had made amendments to the bill on his side of the house. His great desiro, and those also who acted with him, was that the revolutionary and unconstitutional change which the bill made should be so arranged that the shock it would occasion should not be too severely felt by the laity. (Hear, hear.) The amend ments they had placed upon the paper were not for the purpeso of obstruction, but simply to carry into effect the omises,made by the Prime Minister last session. The hon. gentleman opposite had said he wished that the settlement of the question should be carried into effect in a gracious and generous spirit, but be thought that the mode adopted was severe and sweep ing. (Hear, hear.) Ho and those who acted with him were animated with a desire to carry out the bill in the spirit that had been promised, and therefore they would have to persevere in the amendments they had placed upon the paper. Ur. GI:ADSTONE, in reply, said he had fully acted up to all the promises ho had made with respect to the bill, and therefore he should still have to oppose the more important of the amendments proposed by the right hon gent!eman. Clause 2G, enactments respecting burial grounds, was agreed to. On Clause 27 Mr. DISRAELI moved the omission of so much of the clause as required payment. Ultimately progress was reported—the house, however, having only agreed to three clauses in the course of seven hours' de bate. _ _ -- The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned.

Who that has ever read it(asks a writer in last Saturday's Spectator) does, not remember that remarkable passage in which the greatest of the modern converts to Rome de scribes the antithesis between the national power which supports "Branch Churches" and the intangible eccle siastical power of Rome ? —How different is the bearing of the temporal power ! Its prompti tude, decisiveness, keenness, and force are well repre sented in the military array which is its instrument. Punctual in its movements, precise in its operations, im posing in its equipments, with its spirits high, and its step firm, with its haughty clarion and its black artillery, be hold, the mighty world is gone forth to war, with what ? With an unknown something, which it feels, but cannot see ; which flits around it, which flaps against its cheek, with the air, with the wind. It charges, and it slashes, and it fires its volleys, and it bayonets, and it is mocked by a foe who dwells in another sphere, and is far beyond the force of its analysis or the capacities of calculus. The air gives way, and it returns again ; it exerts a gentle but constant pressure on every side ; moreover, it is of vital necessity to the very power which is attacking it. Whom have you gone out against ? A few old men, with red hats and stockings, or a hundred pale students, with eyes on the ground and beads in their girdle ; they are as stui,ble ; destroy theta—then there will be other old men and other pale students instead of them. But we will direct our rage against one ; he flees ; what is to be done with him ? Cast him out upon the wide world? But nothing can go on without hint. Then bring him back. But he will give no guarantee for the future. Then leave him alone ; his power is gone ; o h f e hi is ms a e t lf :anho take will or parthe NNvViitlhl rse ; 11 a a n n d d un e r a e r , t t il l i f u r d om g the ike world. a now Meanwhile, e° u the multitude of influences all over the great Catholic his own t d tot , :o r s and dthhietdneionhmeibasavtef then the bo d s eye y s risei of a the a a d s a p t r e:c e a t t n : ments are hazarded, and rash predictions, till tho m st place, cll''ar as before, saying Mass over the tomb of the Apostles. THE TEA TRADE. —The deliveries in London estimated for the week were 1,739,0241 b., which is a de crease of 723,451 lb., compared with the previous state meat. MARINE DISEASES. —The last monthly statement issued by the Bureau Veritas of Paris show that during the month of March last 299 vessels, including 16 st2amers, YI era reported as total losses. The casualties were dis tributed among different nationalities as under : En2,•- lish, 58 French, 32 North German, 13 American, 13 Italian, 9 Grevk, 9 Nor wegiau, G Austrian, and 33 bearing various other flags.
