Notice is hereby given, That the Carriages proceeding to her Majesty's Drawing -room et St. James's Palace, on THURSDAY, the Ist of April, are to fall into lies and go down the left-hand side of St. James's-street, enter at t the Iron-gate nearest the Palace, set down at the Area 'e, tura round, and go out by the Iron-gate nearest Marlborough House, to wait in St. James's-square. When called, they are to pass from the Square through Charles-street, into Regent-street and .Termyn. street, go down St. James's-street as before, take up, and go away through Pall-mall. No Hackney Carriages will be admitted within the Gates. For all Persons having the privilege of the Entrfie, Tickets Wlll be delivered at the Board of Green Cloth, on TUESDAY Beat, tom Eleven till Three o'clock: their Carriages are is pass through Constitution Hill Gate into St. James's Park: those belonging to the Ambassadors and Foreign Minis ters are to set down at the Ambassadors' Entrance in Marlborough-court, at the east end of St. James's Palace, and wait there till called. Those belonging to the Cabinet Ministers and Oreat Officers of State are to set down in the Middle Court, and wait there. The Carriages of all other Persona having the Entree are likewise to set down in the Middle Court, and wait in the Stable-yard, or St. James's-park, till called. They are then to take ap in the same order as they had set down, and pass away up St. James's-street. No carriage will be admitted with company a second time with the same ticket ; to prevent which it must be produced at Constitu tion Hill Gate, and Stable Yard Gate also, where a corner of it will be torn off by the rnarshalmen in attendance ; and no person can be allowed the privilege of the Entrée by any other approach to the Palace than as above directed. MONTROSE, Lord Steward. LONDON, going forward. It is more than probable that, at this moment, the stock of specie lying idle and un productive in the vaults at Threadneedle-street ex ceeds the amount of notes in circulation. By the last account for the week, ending the 20th March instant, we find that the notes in the hands of the public amounted to 19,980,0201., while the buillion in both departments was no less than 19,745,930 1 ; but as the former was diminishing, while the latter was steadily increasing, there is every reason to believe that the relative positions have been changed during the past week, and that the value of the specie now exceeds, or at least equals the notes in circulation. Under these circumstances, and considering the enormous quantity of the precious metals now in course of collection in California and Australia, an amount which must be necessarily considerably enhanced when the miners and machinery sent, or about to be sent, out by the different gold companies shall come into full operation, we can scarcely wonder at the excitement, we might perhaps say "panic," which has taken possession of the moneyocracy. Many significant symptoms are already apparent, sufficiently indicating the state of feeling on the sub ject. Sometimes they appear in the shape of letters containing the most ridiculous and unfounded asser tions or arguments, all, however, calculated to frighten the timid and prevent them from investing their capital in the manner likely to make the most profitable returns. We are, for instance, at one time assured that the estimated returns are completely apocryphal. They would almost induce us to believe that the rich specimens which we have seen with our own eyes have been manufactured for the occasion, or, at least, that they have been obtained from other districts than those in which their proprietors assert that they have been discovered ; and all this we are expected to credit on the statements of anonymous calumniators, who con ceal their own names, while they aim their barbed shafts from under cover at those who have the boldness to co-re forward openly and without disguise, staking their credits, names, and reputations on the position they have assumed. Others content themselves with attacking unimpeachable titles, with casting out paltry insinuations which they themselves well know to have no real foundation ; while others, even less scrupulous, attack the parties (however eminent) who have in any degree identified themselves with the movement. All, however, readily avail themselves of every practicable mode of defamation, freely re sorting to " The whispered hint, the shrug, the hum, or ha, These petty brands that calumny doth use." In every case the end and object is the same, viz., to oppose additional impediments to the collection 01 the precious metals, so that the scarcity which led to the lamentable events of 1847 might again arise to produce similar results. But these weak inventions can scarcely produce appreciable effe..cts. Even without any of the advan tages that will speedily be available, immense sums 'nave been collected, sufficient to produce the extra ordinary effects that are already becoming per ceptible. Feelers have accordingly been thrown out as to the propriety of increasing the weight of the sovereign, so as to avoid the "disas trous fluctuations" that must otherwise arise. The views of the monetary reformers are likely to become popular. The question " What is a pound," may not be so frequently or so triumphantly asked as in 1847. It is possible that those who have hither to been the most strenuous bullionists will speedily become converted to the propriety of preserving the " purchasing power" of the pound of account at as nearly as possible an equable rate. As yet, perhaps, they have not arrived at any definite conclusion as to what they wish to have ; but they perceive the necessity of some alteration directly opposed to their former views, and they would willingly assent to the propositions which they formerly rejected with con tumely and disdain. Shame, however, at present re strains them, they cannot turn about on all their former argument without some degree of repugnance. They will, however, come round when they find that the people cannot be humbugged into paying two ounces of gold where they only contracted to pay one, to persons who scornfully rejected any compromise when matters were the other way. We shall then find a different description of persons calling for the issuing of " national notes," and expatiating on the beneficial effects of taxation paper. Of course nothing ran be done during the present session on the subject. The attention of the -various constituencies should, however, be directed thereto, so that the question of monetary reform—the MOST IMPORTANT of any of those respecting which the country is now agitated, not even excepting free trade iteelf—may be placed in the way of a final and satisfactory arrangement. The protracted and searching investigation and able report of the Special Committee of the House of Lords into the causes of commercial distress should not be permitted to remain useless and unpro ductive, without bearing fruit. We have now a CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER from whom we may hope for a fair and unprejudiced consideration of the grand problem which, if judiciously solved, would insure the happiness and prosperity of the nation, and afford real protection to every description of British industry. The battle is, however, to be fought at the hustings, and if the electors show themselves really alive to the vast importance of monetary re form, they may be assured that their would-be re presentatives will take the hint, and that something tangible will at length, even at the eleventh hour, be effected. OVERLAND MAIL (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Our telegraphic edvices from Trieste of the 26th inst. inform us of the arrival of the Adria. Our advices from Bombay are to the 3d inst. Negotiations having failed, and the Burmese con tinuing their insults, a force of 6,000 men-3,000 from Calcutta, and the same number from Madras—was to set out for Burmah on or about the 19th of March. A squadron, consisting of war steamers, .had already left Bombay for the same destination, and will transport the troops from Madras to Rangoon. The force under Sir Colin Campbell had reachel Peshawnr. Sir J. Grey, commander-in -Chief at Bombay, returns home invalided. _ _ General Manson died at Bombay on the 23d of February.

This experienced and spirited theatrical manager an nounces his benefit to take place at Drury Lane, on Wednesday next, the 31st inst. That unfading favourite, The Bohemian Girl, a Concert, and the farce of Twice Killed, in which the Keeleys will make their appearance, constitute the attractive bill of fare on the occasion. Mr. Bunn eminently merits a sterling manifestation of public favor for his strenuous exertions to uphold the fame of Old Drury since the management has devolved upon him. If any untoward occurrences have occa sionally marred the details of his campaign, no blame is to be laid to his door in his managerial capacity, for it would demand a combination of Hercules and an angel to direct a histrionic troupe throughout a season, without a bitch taking place somewhere. Mr. Bunn's great merits in bringing out an ambitious and elaborate grand opera—the only work of the class played for the first time upon the English boards; and in giving to the public by far the best English version they have had of Lucrezia Borgia, deserves to be duly appreciated, and we confidently trust that the theatre which he has so excellently conducted may witness a full and fashion able audience on Wednesday evening. We have authority to state that the paragraph in S pr a o t b u a r t da ly y ' h onuonrcianbgoutththate 2;tof May, is entirely Parliament will most without foundation. No time has yet been fazed for that b s e dissolved lve a d nn o event.—Herald. DEATH OF VISCOUNTESS HAWARDEN.—Her Lady ship died at Calais, on Wednesday last, after a severe illness. DEPARTURE OF THE AFRICA FOR NEW YORK. — The Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Harrison, sailed from the Mersey on Saturday, at noon, for New York direct. The Africa carries out nearly 70 passengers, a very heavy cargo of goods, and the usual semi-weekly mails for Canada and the United States. Prior to the Africa getting her mails on board, the new Brazilian steam-frigate Amazonia steamed down the Mersey, on her trial trip. She looked exceedingly , well, but h a d not such an imposing appearance as the Africa. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TOWER.—In accordance with orders issu, d by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, as Constable of the Tower, the whole •f the menagerie build ings, guard-house, and other erections opposite the west en trance fronting to Thatnes.street have been removed, and on Saturday the esplanade, which has been stockaded and laid d ow n with gravel walks and a macadamised pavement, was I opened to the public. In consequence, however, of the oppo sition of a Mr. Corfe, who holds a house granted by Govern . men t c xactly opposite, the work remains incomplete. Mr. C ur f e refuses to budge without compensation, and Lis Grace, h av i n g no funds available for that purpose, is brought to a stand-still. . , ... j. 1" • ; fiel :-/ , • a 4, 1 k 0 .. 4_,Zt ~, j F ,., ~ =r.'' - A ....4..kee ',...',.. 1 .iist .1, ?ft . 4.:-,..4t13-g- -',,,,t,:-,-,- , 4r • 3t:,.:...V.' -, "•"/ 4- 4114 '`ls ''' : ' - Z. do , idng ult LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1842. Whether the House of Commons be dissolved on the 27th of May, .or still later, it is tolerably certain that the present Ministers of the Crown are sedu lously preparing themselves, in anticipation of that appeal to the country, to submit to the consideration of their respective constituencies the precise nature of the policy by which they propose in their various departments to carry on the general affairs of Govern ment. The implicit confidence expressed by the supporters of the existing Cabinet in the favourable result of the general elections, in regard to the Derby- Disraeli Administration, may possibly, it is true, be sincere—though at the same time there is every probability that it is merely affected, with a view to inspire a similar confidence in the mass of the population. Men credulous enough to be deceived by the hallucinations of Monopoly may be expected, of course, to believe anything whatsoever, no matter how glaringly extravagant its character. Yet, with all our consciousness of the extraordinary gullibility of the Protectionists, we cannot seriously credit that their judgments are so far obscured as to delude them into the idea that they are certain of numbering a very considerable majority in the ensuing Parliament. It is our impression, therefore, that the reliance upon their cause expressed by the supporters of the new Cabinet is nothing more than assumed for the peculiar reason already specified. Such being, we feel assured, the case, the Ministers and subordinates will feel it more than ever encum bent upon them to submit to the community some specious declaration of their views relating to the projected tendencies of their Government. Financislls it is scarcely possible that thsir schema of policy can b 3 otherwise than an improvement, the whole nation beholding with unalloyed Satisfaction the appointment of Mr. DISRAELI as a substitute fur Sir CHARLES WOOD as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The intellectual mediocrity of the Member for Halifax could not indeed but contrast most significantly with the indisputable genius of the Right Hon. Gentleman the representative of Buck inghamshire. With reference to our home system, it cannot, however, be altogether so very probable that the nomination of Mr. W ALPOLE to that department in the ruom of Sir GEORGE GREY, could be deemed satisfactory, bearing in mind, as the country neces sarily must do, the total inexperience of the former as compared with the incomparable adroitness displayed by the latter administrator. Again—it would be ri diculous to Leagine for a single instant that the Earl of MALMESSURY any more than the Earl GRAN VILLE could be considered by the people of England as a desirable substitute for the great statesman who during forty years has exercised so remarkable an influence upon our foreign relations. The capacity revealed by Lord PALM ERSTON during the whole period of his continu ance in office inevitably reduces to insignificance the very eesunary abilities of the men recent ly selected from the aristocracy to be his successors. Hardly less awkward is the position, as Colonial Secretary, of Sir JOHN PA LINGTON, than that occupied as Foreign Secretary by the Earl of MALMESSURY, though, it must be acknowledged, for reasons of a very different, or indeed, we might say, of an entirely opposite description. The duties of the Foreign De partment have become more than ever difficult to discharge, because of the painfully deterio rating allusions certain to be made, on every available opportunity, to the weakness of its present, and the energy of its past admi nistration. Whereas, the duties of the Colonial Department have been rendered more than ever sources of embarrassment to the Chief Secretary, from the confusion into which the affairs of that office have been thrown by the meddling and petulant policy of ilarl GREY—a confusion not very likely to be re duced to order by the total inexperience of Sir Joins PARINGTON as an administrator. Considering the multiplicity of interests which it is necessary the Colonial Secretary should at all times bear in his recollection, considering that those interests are scattered over our forty colonial possessions, and considering that those possessions are distributed so very widely over the globe as to be extended throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, embracing, moreover, the whole of the southern continent of Australia, together with the principal portion of the southern archipelago of Polynesia, it is manifest that no ordinary amount of knowledge and no trivial familiarity with the routine of administration are required from whosoever is en trusted with that department in her MAJESTY'S Go vernment. Yet the personage selected by the Earl of DERBY for that singularly responsible position is no one more able or more experienced than a very respectable chairman of quarter sessions—Sir JOHN PAILINGTON. Inexperienced as he is in the manage ment of the machinery of administration—unac quainted as he is with the information essential to a Colonial Secretary, very much is expected from him now that he has consented to take upon himself that enormous share of toil in the national Govern ment. He will have to repair all the blunders com mitted, and to carry out whatever good enterprise was ventured upon by his generally culpable but sometimes sagacious predecessor. Among the for mer duties devolving upon the present Colonial Sec retary are, of course, those connected with the shameful treatment of Sir HARRT SMITH and the mis management of legislation with regard to the "I'° and. Xafirland. Among the latter duties are those arisingzrom the project proposed some time to . the development of the resources o f our North referenc e ietn American possessions.

The bullionists are at length b9ginning to feel some degree of alarm at the unprecedented amount of gold contained in the Bank cellars, and the large continuous and steady augmentation which is still THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE S KKkT~ 1372.3rr1b8 11.61LWAYS. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Moniteur publishes several important decrees.

The tenth approves of the stations of the Lyons and Avignon Railway Company. And the eleventh is a decree for the fusion of the Or lea❑s, Bordeaux, Nantes, and Centre Railways into one great company. The Monitteur contains besides a circular front the Mi nister of Justice on the subject of the press, and the ap pointment of the following senators.—The Duke DE MORTEMARS, General PETIT, the Archbishop of PARIS, General PYAT, M. BINEAII, the Marquis DE BARRAN COO, and M. DR HECLEREN. The PRINCE PRESIDENT reviewed yesterday three newly arrived regiments of foot and two of cavalry, in the Court of the Tuileries. An immense crowd assem bled to witness the sight, amongst whom were general cries of " Vive Napoleon," a few only cried " Vive l'Empereur." The Prince was surrounded by a bril liant staff, and looked much gratified with his recep tion. Funds remain unmoved. It is understood that the elevation of M. BINEAU to the rank of Senator, as a re ward for his late financial measures connected with the Bank and the conversion, is a sign that he remains at his post of Finance Minister, which is satisfactory to the Bourse. It is said that the state of siege in Paris would be de clared at an end to-day (Monday). The decree of "Decentralisation" is generally approved of. The following appears in the Constitutionnel. " The tyranny of the bureaucracy was an indirect and perhaps disastrous consequence of the abuses into which the Parliamentary regime had fallen. The perpetual mobility of the Ministries forcibly , led to a similar mobility of the prefects; the evolutions ot parties led to a sort of continual movement in all the high administrative functions. Every thing, therefore, changed in France except the bureaux, which by degrees became the sole depositories of traditions and regulations. By inexperience, by timidity, and by the apprehension of Parliamentary influences, the prefects abdi cated all initiative, referred to the central power the decision of all affairs, and voluntarily reduced themselves to the part of the executors of the Ministerial will. This dependence of the provincial authorities was not sufficient for the bu reaux, and the mania of details which devoured all the ad ministrations called to Paris not only the decision but also the examination into the most trivial affairs ; it was ne cessary to have on every document the visa and report of 20 clerks. Stich a state of things could not last. The unheard-of delays of the Administration led citizens into considerable sacrifices, and somaimes into ruin. The remedy was to be found in a return to the true administrative traditions of the country. The question was not to withdraw local affairs from the control of the Govern ment, but to manage that control in such a way as nut to lose time for the parties. Leave intact the action of the Sovereign power, but examine affairs on the spot, and decide them there ; the abuses of centralisation will have disap peared, and there will only remain the benefits of it—namely, impartiality and uniformity of legislation." The Bank of France ties announced that it will begin on Monday, the 29.1, to give loans on railway scrip and shares. The Constitutionnel contradicts the rumour of an in tended reduction, by decree, to 5 per cent. of commercial interest, and to 4 per cent of " civil " interest. A trial bas just ended at Lyons, which reveals what ideas French juries have o❑ the subject of .‘ attenuating circumstances." A young fellow named Jobard, 20 years of age, led so dissipated a life that he became weary of existence, but not having the resolution to commit suici .e, he determined on committing a murder to get himself executed. He according goes to the LyonsTheatre, and seeing ay oung married woman enceinte close to his reach, he plunges a knife in her aide, and she dies in five minutes. The fellow gives himself up, and then comes the bother of a set of doctors as to whether he was mad or half mad. Ail agree as to the cause of his madness, that it was brought on by de bauchery. and the jury found circonitances attenuantes. He is condemned to the teenier forces tor life. It came out in his confession that he would have preferred mur dering a young girl of twelve, but could not get near enough for his purpose.

SPAIN. Advices from Madrid are of the 23d inst. They state the approaching publication of the law in reference to the liberty of the press. M. SALAMANCA is actively occupied about the con struction of the railway from Araojuez to Almanza, and thence to the sea. The Three per Cents. were done at 3, 13-16; the New Three per Cents., at 19 3-16; the Debt of the First Close, at 71; that of the Stcond Class, at 5 3-16; and the Coupons, at GERMAN Y. The Ring of HANOVICR has accepted the resignation of MM. WINDLHOREIT and BIEXISTER. The Ministry has been recons tructed in the following manner:—M. V ANDERDECKE N, Minister of Justice; Count KILNIAN SEGGE, Minister of Finance; and Count WEDEL, of Public Worship. The last sitting of the Customs Congress in Vienna, is to be held on the 30th. In regard to this congress the Ministerial Counsellor Dr. HERMANN has declared that although matter of a most interesting and useful nature has been elicited by the conference, yet an essen tial practical result will not probably be seen for some time. The Wiener Zeitang publishes an order of the day, by t h e E MPERO R, to the Light Horse Regiment returning from Holstein, giving them due praise for their conduct while stationed there. By an Imperial order the Pro testant Associations are to receive all the protection to which the present la ws entitle theta. In the sitting of t he Prussian Second Chamber, on the 22d, the proposition of Count VON ARNIM on the communal law was adopted. By this decree the Cham ber reversed the previous motion—that the nomination Commis sionot a Special to examine the projt-ct adopted by the First Chamber should be delayed for 21 days be tween the first and second reading. By this vote, there fore, the Chambe r decided that it would not wait for the expiration of the time to commence the debate on the project, and referred it to the examination of a Com mission already appointed. The Lett merely gained their point of having seven new members added to this Commission. Th e preliminary preparations for the suspension bridge acrose the Vistula have been commenced at Dirschau, in the circle of Stuttgardt. It will be the most stupendous work of the kind in Europe. The Baden Diet was closed on the 21st inst. This is occasioned by the evidently approaching dissolution of the GRAND DUKE. Provision has already been made that in the event of his death his second son, Prince FREDERICK, shall assume the reins of government, the elder son being considered incompetent. Unhappily, insists h ow ever, he upon his right to succeed his father. Several members of the Grand Ducal family are using every effort to induce him to sign an ant of renunciation, in order that any conflict might be avoided on the death I of the GRAND DIME. HOLLAND. From Dutch papers of the 27th we learn that the Second Chamber is now engaged in the debate of the budget of the Colonial department. Very interesting facts were brought forward in regard to the discovery of the tin mines at Billi and Singkell, in Singapore, which promise to be an Li Dorado for the colony. ITALY. --- Cardinal ANTONELLI was appointed Secretary of State at Rome on the 18th inst. From Turin we learn that the Deputy PAZIONI has presented the report on the proposed law for a treaty of commerce and navigation with Sweden and Norway. INDISPOSITION OP MR. CHARLES A.EAN.•••••We regret to state that Mr. Charles Kean was taken suddenly ill during the performance of King John on Friday evening, in consequence of which the play proceeded no further than the third ast. an apology having been made to the audience for Mr. Kean's inability to continue the performance of his part. The entertainment concluded with the farce of 4 Model of a Wife. Owing to the indisposition of Mr. Kean, the theatre will be closed until Easter Monday. NSW was asked in the last de bate, what hardship could be alleged by the young men of Great Britain in being called upon to defend their own homes? Perhaps, in some sense, very little indeed; but the argument surely destroys itself. If tbis duty is so natural and popular, why resort to the conscription? If the " high spirited youth of this country " are disposed, as we have no doubt they are, to such species of military avocation, why not be content with asking them to step forward, or, if the example of the regular army suggests a little induce ment, why not substitute a small bounty for an unpopular compulsion? If soldiers can be raised at any time and in may numbers for indefinite service, is it likely that recruits will be wanting for service so much more agreeable? We need an army of reserve. It signifies little or nothing what designation this force should receive. the If there is any predilection for the name and regu we shall be lation of militia, let them by all means be retained; but somewhat surprised if a case is made out to-night for raising this force otherwise than by fair engagements. With such materials for military reserve as we already possess in our_ numerous disbanded soldiers. and such an abundance of willing recruits as must surely be found in our young popu lation, the old " constitution al" ri g ht of seizure might per. r d e . st haps be suffered to drop withou t damage to any inte anticipate posed; nor can we that a G o vernment is p to conciliation will overlook t h e advantages of the suggestion.— Times.

Advices from Zante state that, besides the 22 failures which have already occurred for 300,000 dollars, others were ea- pected. - A public meeting of the parties interested in promoting the establishment of Tribunals of Commerce is convened for the 7th of next month by Mr. Francis Lyne, the Hon. Secretary, Sir James Duke in the chair. It appears that, notwithstanding the award of the arbitratora mutuall fouy, agreed upon as binding betwe en all parties, the three or r parties, led on by a person named Stanley, Mr. Lyne's farmer clerk, have in the most discreditable and unprecedented manner persisted in announcing that Mr. Lyne had resigned and as it now see ms that nothing but the public dis missal of his factious little knot will restore h a this or prevent the impertant movement degenerating into a miserable personal contrivance for giving place and pa tronage, the subscribers must either attend and judge for them selves, or give their proxies for the original and disinterested originator of the movement, whose means place him above the temptation of mere pecuniary recompense, but who cannot, as a matter that deeply affects his honour, be forced into a resignation contrary he to justice and the opinion of his friends. T idea of two or three men, who scarcely understand what Tribunals of Commerce mean, parading themselves before the public as the president and executive committee is too preposterous to be tolerated for a moment. The English Funds have been steady this morning, though exceedingly inactive. Consols realize 98% 3 / 4 for Transfer, and the same for Account. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 68s. to 71 p s. remium. South Sapp Stock is at lioq. There appears to be some little rehension of Louis Napoleon alluding in equivocal terms to the treaties of 1815 when he opens the Legis ature. Foreign Securities have been very quiet, but look well. Mexican Bonds gra n 32 l ,4 3 4. Grenada Deferred are not better than 10%, d Equador are dull at 5. Peruvian Five per Cents. have sunk to 104%. The Deferred are 61%, being the seine as on Saturday. Brazilian Old Bonds have been quoted 102, Buenos Ayres are nominally 74, and and Venezuela hav e been 46 to 46%. Spanish Five Cents. are quoted 19X to 20%, the Three per Cents. 44 to %, and the Deferred 2%. Sardinian Bonds h a ve been at 93 y. 2 3 / 4 . Portuguese Four per Cents, are firmer, being 36. Northern Stocks are nominal. Railway Shares are buoyant, and there is a decided ad vance ; Aberdeen, Caledonian Eastern Counties, North- Western, South-Eastern an d Great We-tern, are all dearer. French Shares are not in all cases as dear. Gold Mine Shares are quiet, but the Agua Fria have just risen to 2 3 4 %. The Shares in the South Australian Mining Company, though not yet allotted, have been i n troduc.-d for the last day or two on the market. There has been considerable dealing in them at % 1 4 prem. It appears that the works of this company are far advanced. Between 200 and when sold will pay an immediate dividend on the capita to un l. In the mean time powe rful machinery is to be applied water the mines and raise the ore at view in the eight or ten inch lodes which have been discovered. The Agna Fria meeting is passing off most satisfactorily, :tad the explanations given by Mr. Wright, from Ca lifornia, are most encouraging. The Agua Fria lease is extended by Colonel Fremont, and all other sale of t leases upon the Marip o sa estate are confir med, though the he property is declined, Colonel Fremont having given the required notice t o Mr. Sargent, the be refundedmoney paid on account of the purchase will . Most cheering statements are made as to the prospects of the mines, and any disputes that have arisen will be referred to the solicitors of Messrs. Baring Brothers.

EXCHAIN6L.-(240.ti .f.) Mos' of the country markets held on Satirelav were tolerably well, but tot to say heavily, supplied with borne` grown Wheats, in which a very limited business wa. doing, at further depressed rwes. At the outports, Foreign Whet" were the turn in favour of buyers. The Malt trade having become heavy, from must of the brewers being well in stock, Malting Barley was very dull arid tower to purchase. grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little attention. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were offering on easier terms. The Flour trade in France has become firm. at enhanced currencies. Large purchases of Wheat have bean Lffected for Holland and Belgium. The Western markets have ruled less active. The latest accounts from New York are to the effect that holders of Flour were tolerably firm. The a-rivals of English Gain up to our market last week were small. From abroad we received 5,340 quarters of Wheat, 1,125 Barley, 14,197 Oats, 8 Peas, 1,042 'fares, 148 sundry Seeds, and 3,19 ti sacks of lour. Fresh up to our marker, to day, the r ecei p ts of Wheat. coastwise from Essex and Kent, were very moderate, but in excellent conuition. From the east coast the arrivalsd were last small; but we had a slight increase in thos e by lan car riage from Cambridgeshire, &c. Although several of Monday's unsold qualities were again brought forward, the show of samples of both Red and White was very moderate for the time of year; nevertheless. owing to the pressure of French Flour, and the unwillingness on the part of the millers to get into stock, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled very inactive, but no actual decline took place in the value of any quality. Towards the close of business a total clearance had not been effected. For forward delivery very few transactions took place; but the growers were not inclined to accept lower rates. The quantity of fresh foreign Wheat brought forward was small, and we were very moderately supplied with granaried samples. Selected qualities moved off slowly, yet holders were firm. In low and middling kinds so little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal. For shipment, we heard of no transactions; but floatin g car g oes of EgYPtiarl were taken for Holland at 293 . , all charges included. The few parcels of Malting Barley on show were taken at previous rates. Grinding and distilling sor t s moved off hete , ily, at late figures. Notwithstanding that the supply of Malt ready for deliverf was comparatively small, the tra de was ver y dull, a nd late currencies were with difficulty supported. The supply of home-grown Oats w as ver y limited, t hat of foreign tolerably good. tin the whole t he trade was steady, at about stationary prices. Beans, the show of which was but moderate, moved off slowly at last Monday's currency. In Peas next to nothing was doing. Prices, however Wel l supported. Indian Corn, afloat, was dull, but not cheaper. The Flour trade was in a depressed state, at the rates de clared in the quotations—the nominal top price of English being 403 per 280Iba. oe-o noaseo , I 4TTI2 Wheat—Essex Sr. Kent, Malt—Chevalier•• .• 56a tO 601 Red •• • • .... 32s to 435 Oats— Yorkshire and Ditto,White, New 425 521 Lincolnsk., Feed.

The supply of foreign stock in to-day's market was compa ratively small; but large numbers of Beasts came fresh to hand from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scot land, in excellent condition ; indeed, very few inferior breeds were brought forward. Notwithstanding that the weather was favourable for slaughtering, and that the attendanc amore e ure of buyers was tolerably numerou s, the overwhelming of the supplies, both here and in Newgate and Leadenhall, produced unusual heaviness in the Beef trade. The middling and inferior breeds of Beasts gave way in vales quite 2d. whilst the currencies of the best Scots, Short Horns, 4d per 81b, and large numbers left the market unsold. The extreme top figure for the primest Scots_ was 3s 4d per Blbs, whilst good qualities of the same breed sold at only 3s 2d.

For the time of year we were heavily supplied with Sheep, the general quality of which was good. The trade was ex cessively heavy, at a fall in the quotations of quite 2d Pe! 81bs. The extreme price of the best old Downs, in the wool. was 4s 2d p r Blbs, whilst good selling weights were sold at only 48 per 81bs. Old Downs, out of the wool, sold at from 3s 4d to 3s 6d per 81bs, and clearance was not effe cted. Lambs, the supply of which was moderate , moved off slowly. at from . 4s 8d to 5s per Sibs.
