Routh, K.C.8., President, in the Chair—lt was resolved, that " The Directors are hereby authorised and directed to borrow the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds upon the security of the Debenture Bonds of the Company, in conformity with the 41st Clause of the Act of Parliament of Canada, cap. lxiii. Viet., 7th." In accordance with the above resolution, the Directors are pre pared to receive offers of the whole or part of 100,0001. in sums of 1001. and upwards, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum interest, and for periods of five, seven, or ten years. The Capital of the Company is 500,0001. In 25,000 Shares of 201. each, of which sum only H. per Share is intended to be called up ; the uncalled capital, 375,0001., remaining as security to those who may lend money to the Company for the specified periods agreed on. Under no circumstances will the amount of money received oa de posit exceed the amount of Share Capital uncalled, which of Itself will constitute a complete guarantee for the re-payment of deposits or loans made to the Company. But in additions to, and distinct from it, the Depositor will have the entire Investments of Share and Loan Capital in Canada ao a collateral security, and in no case does the amount lent upon mortgage of land exceed half the marketable value of the property appraised by competent persons. Thus if the Debenture Debt be 375,0001., equal to the uncalled part of the capi tal, and therefore the largest sum that will be raised, it will be se cured by mortgages for 500,0001. on real estates of the value of at least 1,000,0801. There is a general registration of deeds relating to Land in Ca nada, which enables the Company to ascertain with certainty the state of every title offered to them in security for Loan.

The supply of wheat at market to-day was very small; prices were in favour of the buyer, and the trade may be called generally is per qr. cheaper. What few samples of barley were exhibited for sale were purchased by those malsters who are inclined to keep on wetting whilst the season remains so favourable, and who had exhausted their stocks. Beans and peas maintain late prices. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER.

The continued accounts of high prices on the Conti nent of Europe produce effect on Mark-lane, or rather they produce a contrary effect to what might have been expected, that niarkel being quoted is lower again yesterday, and dull at the decline. Meanwhile, imports are on a moderate scale, and codsumption goes on upon our own crop. The following is a comparison of the imports into Hull to the present date of 1851 and 1852 respectively : —Wheat 1851, 24,845, 1852, 1,530 ; barley 1851, 28,922, 1852, 14,917 ; oats 1851, 915, 1852, 2,537 ; beans 1852, 4,453, 1852, 18,498 ; peas 1851, 1,382, 1852, 1,152; tares 1851, 1,836, 1852, 289; linseed 1851, 28,523, 1852, 49,405 ; rapeseed 1851, 685 ; 1852, 246 ; oil cakes 1851„854, 1852, 1,046 ; bones 1851,1,794; 1852, 1,033 ; guano 1851, —, 1852, 1,200. We had only a very small show of farmers' wheat at market to-day, which met a good sale at about the prices of last week, no disposition being shown to follow the decline in Mark-lane. The current rates paying were 393 to 40s for 631bs wheat. Foreign, with the exception of a few small lots of low quality for export to Belgium and Holland is quite neglected, being worth more money in either Hamburgh or Danzic than in the English market. In fact, wheat that has been lying with a commission house for about three years on Hamburgh account, is just ordered to be re-shipped to that city. Only a slow dragging trade for barley, but the market is getting somewhat relieved by the prompt landing of some portion of the recent arrival. A consumptive sale for beans, of which Egyptian are the only supply ; the quality now offering afloat is very Superior. In oats, except for seed, or in peas, no transaction worth recording. The linseed market is very firm. but cakes are unaltered, with a steady consumptive demand. Rapeseed would fetch oar q uot a ti on , and rape cakes are scarce and dear.

The Duke of Northumberland's second captain's ap pointment has been given to Captain Granville Gower Loch, C.B. (1841), who has been selected to command the Winchester, 50, at Chatham—it is said, as flagship for the East Indies, to relieve the Hastings, 72. Cap tain Loch is one of the luckiest officers in the British navy. Ile entered the service so late as 1826, the year in which 46 officers in the navy were made lieutenants, and are lieutenants still, and nine officers made com manders and remain on the list as such. Within seven years and eight months he became a lieutenant—that is, in 1833, He served at home as flag lieutenant at the is m nfi ale a commanderttingouttheVa in 7 nguard, l B B o 3 ;rd for these servedservicesNe 'ds anw the required two y ears to make him el h ig a i v b i l n e g . ,jus He t then gli for his c a pt a i n ' s rank i n comman d oftheAfty,fileB3,haiinse and Vesuvius steam-sloop, on the South American and Mediterranean statibns, and was accord ingly promoted to his present rank in August, 1841, thus having advanced from the cockpit to post rank in less than eight years, and within 15f of having served afloat for all his steps—just about the same time as many of our first lieutenants have served as lieutenants in succes sive ships without promotion. As a captain he served as a volunteer, as extra aide-de-camp to Lord Gough at the storming of Chin Klan Foo, in 1842, and commanded the Alarm, 26, in the West Indies for three years, during which period he was decorated with the order of C.B. for a skirmish at Nicaragua, having been more lucky than the captains at Maluda, where much greater loss was sustained against the pirates, and those captains who were engaged in the late bloody affair at Lagos. The Winchester is Captain Loch's second ship as a captain. "Commodore Martin's squadron; it is said, will come to Spitlload in about a month. The gallant Commodore is on have, and the squadron at Queenstown is under the command of It , ar-Admiral IL M, Dixon. We are sorry to report that an accident which is likely to be fatal took place on board the Arethuss, 50, Captain T. E. Symonds, at Portsmouth, fitting alongside the jetty. Jackman, captain of the maintop, fell from the top to the deck, where he was so much injured that he was taken away insensible to the hospital at Hasler, and we regret with very little hope of his surviving. Arrogant, 46, screw-frtgate, Captain R. S. Robinson, will be docked at Portsmouth to-morrow. MelloPiai, 60, screw-steam guard-ship, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., has embarked her additional de tachment of Marine Artillery at Portsmouth. Simoom iron• screw troop frigate, Captain Kingoomo, will go out of Portsmouth Harbour for a few hours' trial cruise to-day, to test her machinery. Mr. Duncan, the able inspector of machinery afloat, will superintend her trial, and will also accompany her on her trial trip to Scilly. THE MEDITERRANEA N . We have intelligence from Malta to the 11th of March. Our correspondent announces the arrival of the now corn m ander-in-chief. "Britannia, 120, Captain Goldsmith, with flag of Roar- Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., arrived here yesterday morning, and on entering the harbour saluted the flag of Sir William Parker. At 8 A.M. a signal was made from the Queen, flog-ship, Captain Wise, for all captains to repair on board, and, halt an hour later, Admiral Dundas visited her, when the captain and officers were severally introduced to him, the Queen manning her yards on the occasion. " After the visit, which lasted but a short time, he repaired to his own ship, and shortly after quitted her for the shore, under the salute, from the Fort St. An gelo, due to his rank. " On reaching the Custom House he was received by a guard of honour (3d Regiment, the Buffs), commanded by Capt. Hood, with Lieutenants Ambrose and Rooke, the latter bearing the regimental colours, and then pro ceeded to the Admiralty House, with Sir William Parker and his suite.

The public cannot fail to observe the avidity with which every occasion is seized upon for the purpose of securing the promotion of favourites ahn leivo been, engaged in them, and that when the nature of the engagement, or the manner in which it was con ducted, was such asp to entail useless and worse than use lese expense on the country. The affair of Lagos, it will be remembered, was made use of-for the benefit of a number of gentlemen who have secured no benefit to the country for the promotion to which they have been so hastily advanced. We believe that the public gene rally were not so well satisfied with the last and very un satisfactory Arctic Expedition as to feel much gratified in finding that it was made use of for the purpose of putting down the names of its officers on the list of our claimants for increased salaries and higher rank. The investigation, which, to say the least, from the fact of being called for, looked pretty much like a censure, had not passed away, before, with indecent haste, promotions and appoietments followed, whareby the favourites and dependants of the late Ministry, and, in some cases, of their subordinates, were ti n ag eftrej l o t ic w e e d e i r f e th t e e country a try n w av a y, was naontdveirt is very much be chad worthv a n anything, if we are not to throw ourselves altogether on peace principles, pray let this system of annoying worthy men and brave officers be abandoned; and we demand that it be abandoned in the name of the people for whose protection, and not for the subsidizing of grasping families, it exists. It is unjust to the great bulk of our naval officers, and Unfaithful tothe country, and likely to lessen our national strength mogt — materially, to go on with the jobbery and favouritism of which the Admiralty has hitherto been the centre. It would be better to annihi late the whole establishment than to keep it up in the condition in which it has hitherto been kept, fell of grumbling and discontent, for which there is just cause, in consequence of the unjust sad ungenerous treatment of those officers who had not the greatest of all merits, those of some sort of family connexion with those in whose hands the goad things of the country were placed, to be disposed of for the country's good, and not for their own. It would be an effectual way of putting an end to this gross and disgusting partiality, if every officer fit for the service of the country were called for in his turn, according as such services as he has to render may be required. We believe that this principle is to a con siderable exteat acted on in the Royal Marines, and that the attention of Whig patrons was frequently called to it by Lord Howe. It will, as far as the royal navy is concerned, do the country some good, if, while the Pro tectionists are in office, they will show that it is prac ticable to regulate the business of public offices without constantly pushing brothers, nephews, and cousins into every vacancy that may happen to fall, or making new posts, orseizi n g on inadequate pretences for promotion, if such vacancies should nut occur with sufficient ra pidity to meet the appetite of political patrons. --- SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—We trust that our readers have thoroughly got up the grand consultation of political doctors on Monday night, for they will never see such another. The interesting patient, as the Derby Administration appears to be thought, must have been brought into existence with a special view to the promotion of constitutional science. Unfortunately the doctors, as it too often happens, were not so anxious to find out what was really the matter as to make out a fore gone conclusion. They would ask leading questions, and, if the patient was so perverse as not to follow the lead, they went on squaring its answers to their own preconceptions. The ease of the patient must be either this or that, and, as far as they could make out, it fell more under one class, and therefore it could not belong to the other, and there was no remaining alternative. The new Administration must be the former Opposition, for there mast be an Adminis tration and an Opposition. As an Opposition it must have had a principle, and that principle it must continue to have as an Administration. In both cases it must be pledged. As still pledged to Protection, it must be odious to the country. It had peen in a minority, and must still be in a minority, and, as the Administration was now in a minority, the Op position must be now in a majority. The former must, there fore exist on sufferance, and be incapable of action, except for such purpos es as the common interest of all parties might absolutely require. The result of this chain of argumenta tion, and a, werld of other logic, is that, the new - Cabinet is Protectionist, in a minority, on sufferance, commissioned to ask the supplies, to dissolve, to divide the new Parliament on a corn-law, to be outvoted or outbullied, to let in the present Opposition, and to retire to a respectable obscurity. Never was there so methodical an investigation, or so triumphant a result. It may be argued backwards and forwards, from the right to , the left, or the left to the right, and the demonstra tion is as complete as that celebrated process which would have condemned Ophelia to the grave •of the suicide. But there was a time when - nature - itself was tortured in this fashion, not to reveal itself but to prop up a theory. The student of physics stretched nature on the rack, and put his questions like an inquisitor. "Are you this?" he would say to the speechless material, " or are you that; for you must be one of the two? You are not this, then you• must be that; and you must have all the qualities which my authority ascribe to that class of material." What progress, science made under this arbitrary and presumptu ous method we all of us know, and if we want a living illus tration of the pass to which science had come three hundred years since, we may find a very pretty one in the perverse ingenuity and obstinate aberrations of Parliament on Monday night. But there is such a thing as stretching a chain of reasoning so tight that it breaks, and a victorious conclusion will sometimes admit of a ridiculous con futation. Let us • take the case of these savans on their own showing. Let us adopt their conclusion — a conclusion which, as it appears from their.knowledge of Parliamentary history, and their intimate acquaintance with the! party under examination, they were prepared for from the 'first. On Lord John Russell's own hypothesis, the advice he tendered to her Majesty on Saturday, the 21st ult., was substantially as follows :—" Madam, I'm worried' to death. I can't command a majority., My colleagues are in subordinate, and my followers demoralized. I was beaten last night, as I was half-a-dozen times last session, and as I shall be again next week. As a dissolution just now would be a natipnal calamity, I must resign for the present. Your Majesty Will have to send for Lord Derby and ask him to form a Government. Of course it will be Protec tectionist: It will be bound in honour to restore Protec tion, if it can. It will be odious to the country, and its accession to power will be followed by indignation, uncertainty, confusion, paralysis, revolutionary hopes, and all sorts of evils. It will be in a minority, and consequently on sufferance. That being the case, it will have nothing to do but go through a little routine work, occupying three or four weeks, dissolve Parliament, and appeal to the country on the question of Free Trade. Meanwhile, I shall employ my leisure in recruiting and drilling. I shall enlarge the basis of m'y Government, and in the course of the summer— for that is all the time I can allow—l expect to beat Lord Derby in his new Parliament, and to be summoned once snore to your Majesty's counsels. On this estimate and calculation, I advise yqur Majesty to accept my resignation, and send for Lord Derby." That is Lord John Russell's case, on his own showing; but that showing we believe to be fallacious and untrue. We do not believe that Lord John Russell has done anything so bad as the arguments used on Monday would prove him to have done. We think better of the ad vice he tendered to her Majesty not yet a month since. Why, all the links of that great structure of reasoning adopted on Friday are questionable, and demand vast qualification. In the first place, the "majority" of the late Government, and the " minority" of the present, are to be understood in a cer tain sense. Lord John Russell had not a majority that he could depsnd upon ; •nay, on many questions he had not a majority at all; otherwise he would have been Premier to this day, for it takes a good deal to turn out a Whig Minister, or indeed any . other Minister. On the other hand, though Lord Derby, it is true, has not a majority on one particular question, which he has expressly said he will never propose to the present Parliament, he has a majority on many others—nay, on all that are likely to come before Parliament this session. Of course, the Chesham-place alliance may adopt the factious tactics which Lord John ascribes to "the country party," but there is no good reason why Lord Derby should be in a minority on the Militia Bill, or the Chancery Bill, or any other intended measure. He is net likely to be in a minority on education, as appears from his remarks in the Lords last night, and Lord Roden's inter pretation of them. As little likely is he to be in a minority on the question of the Church. What, then, is the value of the assumption adopted by Lord Derby himself that he is in a minority? Nor can a better case be made for the theory of the late Opposition, or that of the present Opposition, adopted in this singular controversy. There were three Oppositions a month ago, and there are three Oppositions now ; and the occasional combination of the three will be Just as much an accident now as it was a month ago. It is true that the new triumvirate is to divide the spoils of office, and therefore possesses a greater induce ment to unity than was ever felt by the three parties form ing the old' Opposition. But no triumvirate was ever shore than a partnership of temporary convenience, and, if either Russell, Graham, or Cobden thinks he can oust or damage the others, he will certainly do it. Where then is the Op position, and the consequent majority? If it exists in . a perman ent form, except on one great topic , that phasenilts ex i s t e nce is at all events new. We kn ow not what stuff peo ple suppose Lord Derby to be made of, but they must think him made of wax, if they At their ex actly what it suits their convenience to make imagine h h e ita is . to be will, his Administration is to be pledged to act s u i a t l s m a e t as e ur b es e of Protection; it is to be bound to a nakred_oeperaoringi t a policy, precluded from expressing an opinion, d much more from introducing a measure that is not wr for e in the imaginary bond. It is to be a mere dummy the ized at Chesham practice of the new rile brigade org what an has it to do with any measure of its place. It is only " a o n wn O , or Pp any osition substantive''' course of action at all ? It is only emp l oy ed to stop a leak in the ship, while the captain and crew are busy on deck. It th wa at s o s terve thisteno rary need , and t his ominous purpose, her Majesty was to send for Lord Derby , and t he country was to have the bene fit of his name and his s ervices for a few weeks. The pur pose once answered, the useless too l was to be thrown aside. All this is the character which Lord Derby's antagonists are determined to stamp on his Admimstration, and they seem p ro to take it very ill if he will not quiet] submit to the cess. We cannot give our' co nfidence to Loi T d. Derby, but much ent(f es% n less can we advise hi m to wbeitltthehisinsotrwutm hand a his seve re di sgr ace, and to infli ct retribution for his offences against Peel and Free Trade. His position is neither very noble, nor very powerful, nor very free. Except for the chivalry of taking it against such for nidable odds, and the a bility wish which he sustains it, we might almost call it undignified. But, if he wishes not merely to prolong it, but to save it from ignominy, he must let us know that he contemplates hereafter something more than merely obsiruetive Conser vatism. Parliamentary . Reform, popular education, pau perism, the governm ent of our c olonies, and other subjects pres s for remedia l and progressivelegislalion quite ed imic h 4B the burdens on hind, or any other class grievance. Such le gislation, or the promise of it, is the only salt that can keep a Government sweet in the estimation of the country, and be [PRICE SD. Lord Derby's career for years, for months, or for weeks—be his opportunities many or few, he must make the best use of them for this permanent purpose. SPORTING NOTES. No. CLXXXIX. TIIE WARWICK AND LEAMINGTON MILITARY AND ANNUAL STEEPLECHASES, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The amount of business transacted this morning on Doubt at 5 and 4 to 1, and Ethelwolf at 4to 1, for the Great Warwickshire Handicap, has been enormous ; and as Doubt's party have at last put their cash on very stiff, I have but little doubt my prognostication of last Friday on this stake will be verified to the letter. It is extremely singular, but again has the Trial Stakes fallen to the extreme outsider; for his Grace, who won very cleverly by a length and a half, was only backed once or twice for a trifle at 10 to 1. The Prime Minister, whom I selected as the winner of this stake, was backed against the field at 6 to 4 on him ; but when he had compassed his own distance (three-quarters of a mile) he began to compound immediately. Flounce was a moderate third, Le Juif a bad fourth, Black Audrey a worse fifth, and My Fancy a wretched last; all so wide apart that the judge placed the lot. The two cracks for the Woodeote Stakes were bowled over by Whalebone, and thus gave another turn to the fielders. Selina, who had been backed for a tidy stake in town, for the Willoughby Handicap, only just managed, under the guidance of Captain Little, to pull the party through by a neck. ' Old Whitstone, who had disappeared for such a length of time, as a victor, from the racing world, re-appeared yester day in his old form, and let a few of the bookmakers in, by just winning the Free Handicap by a head. The Military Steeplechases will be run off to-morrow, com mencing at two o'clock, with a Sweeptakes of 5 sovs. each pp, with a t bonus added ; for horses bona fide the property of officers in full pay of the army, list each. Pe nalties for previous winnings. The winner to be sold for 100 sous. by public auction. Most of the entries for this stake will figure at the post, and the race will probably ter minate in the victory of Spectator or Orange Girl, without Welcome spoils their game. The second race is for a gold cup, value 100 sous., with a bonus added to a sweepstakes of it) SOTS. each, h ft, &c. This will be the most interesting race of the day; the weight is 12st each and penal ties for previous winnings. The struggle for su periority will lie, I fancy, with Hawksworth, Medora, Proceed, the Highlander and the Treasurer; and if Hawksworth does not win I imagine Medora or Proceed will. '1 'he Welter Stakes will conclude the day's sport, and, in all likelihood, be won by Bushranger or the Highlander. On Friday there are no less than six races for decision, three of which have not as yet closed. Ido not intend to enter into minute particulars, but state at once that the Grand Annual will be closely contested at the finish by Peter Simple, Oscar, Half-and-Half, St. Helier and Maurice Daley ; PETER SIMPLE or OSCAR the winner, Maurice Daley close up.

Her Majesty's surveying vessel Herald, Captain Dur ham, is progressing in her equipment at Chatham, and will be ready toproceed down the river by the end of April. A number of apprentices in Chatham Dockyard hav ing served their time, have recently been entered upon the establishment. The labours of the committee which has been sitting at the Admiralty on the s ubject of the lighting of vessels afloat have been brought to a close , so f ar as t he recep tion of evid ence i s conc erned, and their deliberations aro now earnestly directed to the nature of the report to be made, suggesting a general system of night lignting. Many well-qualified gentlemen have given the committee the advantage of their knowledge and experience in such matters. _ __ Among those examined was the Duke of Northumber land's agent, Mr. Taylor, who is well versed in the col lier trade, and Mr. Knight,' 'a large owner _in _the fruit experience,. and who is frequently . honoured with the line. One of the Trinity - house pilotOrper4tonA r great escort of the royal yacht when making sea excursions, has also given testimony of some valuable experiments made by him between the mouth of the Thames and the Downs. The system of showing coloured lights when on different tacks seems to be fav oure d by th e whole of the evidence adduced, but they are not to, be fixed lights, like those of sea-going stealuers, for the reason that such would be almost useless as a preventive against col lision, from the circumstance of many of the colliers and coasters being sniall, and in the water the rolling of the vessel, and the low position of the lights on the side of it, would cause them to be more often, than ot h e rwise, concealed from view. Small li g h ts, . somewhat s i m ilar to the lanterns used by policem en or guards on t h e rail ways, it is stated, were de eme d best adapted for sm all vessels, to be in readiness to show the red or green disc, according to the tack they may happen to be on. No difference of opinion existed as to vessels at anchor hay ing a white light at their m ast h eads. The part i cu l a r system of lighting that will be adopted cannot be stated until the committee have m a d e their report, w hich they will do shortly. WOOLWICH, MARCH 15.—C aptain Henry J.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The numbers voting in the election for the 4th arrondissement of Paris were as follow : M. CAR:COT .. 16,763 M. MOAEAU 13,110 Majority for CANNOT .•• 3,653 It is not expected that M. CARNOT will take his seat, and that, like General CAVAIGNAC, he will re fuse to take the oath of fidelity to the PRESIDENT. The Constitutionnel contains a long article by M. VERON, headed "La Bourgeoisie et le Suffrage Universel." The writer seeks to demonstrate the evils to which the bourgeoisie has given rise in the State by its sy s t em atic resistance to authority. Tbus it committed two revolutions, one in 1830, with the tryof " Vive Is Ch ar ter !be ethrr in 1848, with the cry of " Viva is Reforme !" and this at periods not when it was degraded and i nsu l te d by th e aristo crecy as in ancient times, but under reigns when the respective Gov( rnnaents made every effort to give to the bourgeoisie a fair and beneficial participation in em b i o ta u ekd r i g na e gg o aisiines itselfth a as s uut w bbs r oe o rr vi u t g iye h .n t t poker. By thi s su i c i dal conduct, be conten d s , th e its o . the v own z m u o a sNrsi political ct whomioc in e l m d e o n w i at downfall, f ai the bourgeoisie to mak e an attempt to recover its position nl by imitating the conduct of the same class in England, respecting authority itself, and. exercising its influence with those who depend mean it for , bread, to the observance of the laws and institutions. Universal suffrage has created a power which, if exercised in a spirit of hostility to the bourgeoisie would overpower it, but if the bourgeoisie will, on the other hand, co-operate with the govern ment to keep the exercise of universal suffrage within reasonable limits, and on the other hand exert itself to conciliate, enlighten, and instruct the productive classes, with a view to the possession of the just in fluence to which it is entitled, it must become power ful, and remain so by causing its power to be respected. There is much truth in M. VERON'S description of the class with whom he expostulates. lie says : - - "In France, as in England, the bourgeoisie is now at the Lead of our manufactories, our banking houses, and our Commercial wholesale and retail establishments; it supplies with members our public administrations, our academies, our clergy, our army, and our magistrature. In all the elections it has its weight, and is respected. It owes its conquests, its import , zr ce, and its honours to its ardour for industry, its application, its intelligence, its probity, and its ',habits of order and economy. In France, however, the bourgeoisie does not, as in England, obey with fervour the instincts of its religions senti ments; orq the contrary, it is 'oppoSed to all govern ment, and sets itself up in conflict against all kind of authority." The Public says :—" The grand review which was to take place on the 15th of April for the distribution of colours to the army is postponed to the Ist of May. The whole of the army of Paris will be pre sent, as well as the National Guards, mounted and on foot, and the guides." The new standing orders of the Corps Legislatif are being drawn up in 'the office of the Secretary of the Presidency ; and are to be printed as soon as possible, and distributed to all the members. The old regulations consisted of 131 articles. The new ones will not contain any relative to Parliamentary initiative, to the right of interpellation, to the exami nation of petitions, or to speeches delivered from the tribune—none of which will henceforth exist. The Gazette de Lyon says :—" Several journals have announced that the ROHAN family does not in tend to support the demand for restitution made cgainst, the ORLEANS family by the old t companions in arms of the Prince DE CONDE and by the poor children of the Vendeans. We are able to contra , diet that assertion." The Bourse was heavy, and Government Securities declined.

The Second Chamber of Wurtemburg on the I Ith rejected by 69 votes to 12, a motion of M. JUSSKIND for an address to the KING, praying his MAJESTY, in consequence of the misery which prevails in the king don, to Consent to a very considerable reduction in his civil list. The Second Chamber of Hesse-Darmstadt, in a recent sitting, unanimously adopted a resolution de claring that the Government ought not to consent to any change in the existing tariff of the Zollverein, which May be proposed by the Customs' Congress at Berlin, on iron, linen, cloth, woollen goods, and wines. A letter from Vienna of March 12 states that, in consequence of a dispatch having been received from the Government in,England, making declarations re specting the political refugees of a character pre cisely anslagous to the views expressed by the Earl of DERBY in the House of Lords, the Austrian Go vernment has determined not to persist in the excep tional measures which it had intended to adopt towards English travellers in Austria. A recent decree of the Emperor of AUSTRIA pro hibits the Anabaptist sect from exercising their pecu liar form of worship. A similar decr ee was i ssue d some years ago, but since the disturbances of 1848 th e Anabaptists have disregarded it. The Grand Dukes NICHOLAS and MICHAEL of Russia have arrived at Dresden.
