Coinciding as it does so entirely with the sentiments expressed by ourselves yesterday in reference to the Earl of DERBT'S apparent attempt at prevarication, the argument of the Times, quoted elsewhere in our impression of this evening, appears to us cause for congratulation. Nothing can possibly be better than the tone in which our contemporary alludes to the mingled delicacy and difficulty of the position of the existing Government. It were well for all parties— it, were well for the country—it were well for the inte rests of the Legislature, and even, we will add, of the Administration, if this dispassionate estimate of the emergency were more generally appreciated and comprehended. When the First Minister of the Crown, moreover, can find it in his conscience to say One thing on the 19th of February, and diametrically the revert% on the 30th of March, we cannot believe that very g oo d reas on is thereby given why the nation should Tellose anything like confidence in his Government. --mtnediately before the estimates were submitted tc, the Flouse of Cmtnlns, and when from the factious peculiarity of the attitude assu me d by the Opposition, it appeared to be not altogether impos s ible that the annual sup plies tnight , be actually stoPped, th e n ew PRIME MI SISTER Conceived it to he ;ed . &cleft to bold out the prospect of a speedy dissolution of Parli ame nt. " Only grant U 4 the estimates," Said he, " and so so on as the absolutely neceFaary business o f th e sessioli•s accom plished I will appeal to the c oun t ry, so that the newly elected representatives may assemble before autunin has far, advanced, and thereby re li eve nation from the chance of being placed i n a s i tua t e of embarre eemen t." That was lit era ll y t h e gist situation the speech delivered by the First Lord of the Trea sury in the middle of February. Yet, a little while longer, and "on second thoughts," at the cl ose of March, when the majierity of the estimate,, have been THE SON', granted by the Legislature, the Noble Lord deems it advisable to declare that he dces not in the least anticipate that the present session will be of unusually brief duration," and that he has no sort of intention of bringing about a speedy dissolu tion of Parliament. Is this consistent ? Is it worthy of a great statesman—worthy of a statesman en trusted with the conduct of the affairs of the British Empire--worthy of a Minister more truly "heaven born" than even PITT, if we are to credit the ravings of one of the political contributors to Blackwood f Let the judgment of the country pronounce. Let the answer to these inquiries be given at the next general election ; and we doubt not that the minority in which the leader of the Protectionists will then find himself; will suffi ciently demonstrate that he was mistaken in the re cent change of his intentions. It is true that the E Arl of DERBY endeavoured to explain on Tuesday evening that his opinions expressed in March and his opinions expressed in February, contradictory though they might seem to be at a superficial glance, were in reality coincident. Neverthe- less his reasoning to this end was to our selves so peculiarly shallow in its speciousness, that we are tempted to suggest as BYRoN did in refer ence to the metaphysical COLERIDGE, that he would add to the obligations felt by the public he h.d mystifi-d by kindly and benevolently " explaining his txplinations." Throughout the whole of the-e proceedings on the part of Lcrd DERBY it mint be manifest that he has not acted wiih a candour and manliness becoming one who has been called to the head of the 13(itish Government. Ad mitted that the Noble Lord and his Ministerial colleagues were, so to speak, actually "surprised into power," admitted that their position from the first moment of their consenting to take office has been one of almost unexampled embarra!sment, admitted that the difficulties of their situation were at the outset very singularly enhanced by the factious and petulant bearing towards them of her MAJE S TY'S Op position, yet it must, at the same time, be allowed that the moment has been rather ungenerously selected for avenging themselves upon their political antagonists, when, having obtained he votes from the House of Commons, they shrink from hastening on the crisis of a dissolution. Happily, out of their proceedings one satisfactory conclusio❑ is deducible. The very circumstance of Lord DEBBY shrinking from an im mediate appeal to the country is significant of the fact that he is by no means sanguine of the result of a general election. Were he confident of that result neiog in his favour, the L-gislature would be dissolved before the arrival of Whitsuntide I Having once obtained the sinews of war, the PRIME MINIS TER would relieve himself cf the annoyances conse quent upon being in a perpetual minority in the lower branch of the Legislature. Instead of striving to act - hus, however, Lord DeRBY uses every means to protract the present session for as long a period as dossible : wherefore we insist that from these cir cumstances the nation is justified in drawing its own conclusion. The Commissioners of Land-Tax fur " the rest" of he:county of Middlesex, viz., all the districts not in eluded within the city and liberties of Westminster, issetribled yesterday at the Sessions House, Clerken• Nell, to hold that which, under the terms of the A c t Parliament, should be their annual meeting, but which has practically been only the third meeting tur :Dore than a quarter of a century. From the ex tremely narrow and limited rie we entertained by the tnsj airy of the Commissioners it would be a matt , :r of but trivial importance if they totally abstained from any effort, however taint, to discharge the duties confided to their charge,. for they only meet to end their sanction to that which is unanimously admitted to be gross and palpable injustice. A set of Marionettes would, in fact, be more eligible, for while they could register, with equal efficieucy, the decrees, which charge one shilling in the pound, or upwards, on one division, and less than one f'arthing in the pound on another, they would at least be spared the blush of shame that should suffuse the brow of every man who felt himself to be a participator in the transactions. We do not, how ever, despair of some beneficial results attending those assemblies ; already an active and intelligent apposition has been organized, and the truth is not only forced on the unwilling ears of the majority, but it finds its way into the public journals, and will be " wafted on the wings of the press throughout the length and breadth of the land." Tne clear and able statement of Mr. COPPOCK will, there fore, produce its fruit in due season. The crying grievance will be remedied, and a fertile source of re venue rendered available to the national exchequer. We have so frequently directed attention to the abuses that have arisen in the administration of this law, originally one of the most judicious and equitable modes of collecting the imperial revenue, that it might be regarded as a work of supererogation if we now entered into any prolonged explanation on the subject. We may, however, more especially under the .resent circumstances of the country, and the pecu ear interest with which every fiscal question is in .ested, be permitted once more to give a brief ac count of this the mo't politic and just of the many imposts to which the people are subjected, and which, if fairly carried into execution, may be re 4arded as the proper basis for direct taxation. In the olden time, from the Conquest until the time if the Commonwealth, the national establishments — there was no public debt —were maintained out of the Royal estates ; or whenever there was a deti iency, by contributions from the landed proprietary , hroughout the country. The territorial aristocracy were, however, then in the ascendant, and' they ac 3ordingly transferred many of the burdens from their ,wn shoulders to those of the industrious classes, i n I the infamous Excise duties were imposed in p l ace of those charges which had been removed from real pr petty. The Restoration a ff or d ei l no rel i ef. On the contra r y , the chains of the taxpayers were .. double-I-wetted, and in 1665 a tax on beer and other liq u i ds was granted as a hereditary revenue to the as a recompense fur the aboliti on o f ha " Court of Wards" and " Liveries," and A tent to t a i n capite," &°. fter th e revolut i on the Legislature, however, ap peareddisposed to act more justly to wards the OL 7TOXXOt• The req u i re d funds were aut h or ized to be raised by means of the 9 ari d_ tar, o as it was termed, but which really charged a Poundage on laud, and a tax on per sonal property, whether productive or un p roductive. 'foe 4th Wm. and M ary , c. 1, was the statute which gave expli c i t di rections for assess i n g and col lecting the amount ; and although many statutes have since been pa sse d regulating the impos t, more especially the 38th George 111. c. 5, un der which it is now levied, the Commissioners for the s everal districts are still—we shall not say guide d --but actually governed by the pr o p ort i ons assigned by t h e Act of 1692, from which no d eparture, however urgently required, has ever been allowed. No altera tion in the value of property has ever been recognised, and thus we find, that while some districts are pay ing as much as Is. 6d., 25., or even 2e. 9d, i n the pound (as for instance Shengay, in Cambridgeshire), others were escaping for considerably less than a far thing in the pound. Those best able to pay w ere , therefore, the lowest contributors, while depreciated property was kept up to the highest point. The entire county of Larcaster, including Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, &c., is, for instance, only as sessed at 20,989/. 14s. 6d., while the City of London is charged at a valuation of 123,3991., the city and liberties of Westminster at 63,0921., and the rest of the county of Middle sex at 107,602/. 11.. 7d. These charges, though most enormous, when compared with the amount claimed in the county of Lancashire, do not, however, show anything like the disparity existing between the different localities. We find, for instance, that the parishes of S. Andrew's, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, are paying more than Is. in the pound, the assessment being 9,0181., while St. Pancras escapes for 2d. in the pound, being assessed only at 1,7761. 15s. 7d. Fortunate St. Marylebone, however, distances all its metropolitan rivals, the charge being less than a farthing in the pound, the as sessment on the entire parish being only 4921., far less than the value of single d welling. houses in that im portant locality. Liverpool, however, is still better off, the inhabitants of the modern Tyre only being required to pay one-sixteenth of a penny, or little more than one quarter of what the oppressed Mary lebonians are compelled to pay. These anomalies cannot much longer be permitted _LONDON, to exist. It is sufficient to direct the public attention strongly to the point to ensure a speedy measure of relief. We perceive that a delegation is to wait on the CHANCELLOR of the Exc 11EftUER, with the view of urwing the Right Honourable Gentleman to bring the subject under the con sideration of Parliament. Such proceedings were worse than useless when Sir CHARLES WOOD held the seals of office, and presided over the financial department of the Government, but with Mr. DISRAELI 'tic) look for more auspicious results. We cannot forget that the Right Honourable Gentleman has himself complained of the hard .hip to which his constituents were subjected in being compelled to pay 1-. sd. in the pound, while other counties, far more populous and more rich, are let off for 21 An equal charge of ls. in the pound, while it would relieve many, would give nearly 5,000,0001. sterling to the Exchequer; or, if ex tended to personal property, according to the spirit and intention of the original statute, would give a revenue of more than 11,000,0001. sterling, an amount which, if judiciously disposed of, would not only authorise the abolition of the malt and hop duties, of the taxes on knowledge, and many other unfair and impolitic im posts, but would also allow of considerable reduc tion,' on tea, tobacco, wines, &c., and place the na tional burdens altogether on a sounder foundation. Let, then, the deputation do its duty, and let fiseal reformers of all classes lend their aid to the intro duction of a better system, and we shall not have long to wait for the beneficial results we have anticipated. Elsewhere will be found a very admirable article on the injustice of the taxes imposed on newspapers, extracted from the columns of the Expositor. Coin ciding cordially as we do with the argument put forward by our contemporary, we anticipate as eagerly and as confidently the dissipation, or at any rate the amelioration, of the existing evil by the Right Honourable Gentleman the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER. From him happily somewhat larger benefits may be looked for than could posssibly be the case with his predecessor : and none the less securely, in the present instance, from the circum stance of his distinction as a man of letters and his connexion at one period with periodical literature. The inequality of the system of taxation complained of is not he least intolerable portion of the grievance. As the Expositor very justly observes, it is some what unfair to impose a duty of Is. 6d. upon every separate advertisement in a newspaper, and yet to permit advertisements to appear elsewhere without any impost whatsoever. Placards may be posted up at pleasure in any omnibus or in any rail way carriage, elegant frames containing them, adorned with glass and veneered with mahogany, may be suspended at the entrance of any warehouse; nay, large boards may be pasted over with them in public places, as in the neighbourhood of Waterloo -bridge, and all this may be done without a single one of those advertisements being subjected to taxation. It is only in the columns of a newspaper, or in the flyleaf of a magazine or a quarterly, that a duty of Is. 6d. ,is rigorously levied upon every single announcement. Nor is this the only ex‘ent of the inequality—the same impost, as is by this time tolerably notorious, being inflicted upon such advertisements as those without distinction, be it a►► advertisement of a penny pamphlet or of a guinea annual, an advertisement of a poor servant girl out of work, anxious to obtain a s ituation, or of some wealthy old " bunks," anxious to sell an estate iu Wiltshire with a view to purcha.e another in Cumberland. These are among the in numerable evils in the way of inequality alone which demand the speedy and effectual interposition of the Legislature. Let us hope that some such in terference in regard to the taxes upon knowledge may soon be witnessed, now that the financial affairs of the country have been intrusted to a really ener getic and enlightened Chancellor of the Exchequer. A question relating to the dilapidated condition of the old, and to the propriety of constructing a new, bridge at Westmin,ter, will be put this evening to the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests by the Hon. Baronet the representative of the University of Oxford. To-morrow we shall take occasion to enter more fully into the consideration of this matter — regarding it, as we have long done, as of very singular importance to the interests of the metro polis—and shall revert in our strictures not merely to this night's discussion in the House of Commons, but to the elaborate report of the Westminster Bridge Commission of 1851, addressed by them to the Lords Commissioners of her MAJESTY'S Treasury. Towards the close of that report we are rejoiced to observe, that the argument we ourselves have all along maintained is, at length, to the full recognised by the Commissioners—those gentlemen insisting that from the uncertain expense inevitable in maintaining the present ruinous structure, even for purposes of temporary convenience, it is obviously desirable that " the permanent bridge should be com menced and finished with as little delay as possible." Tnis, we repeat, is so fully in accordance with our own opinions, that it will be not without peculiar sa tisfaction we shall take occasion to revert to the sub j -.ct to• morrow, with a view to its more careful consi deration.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur contains only a few lines of the pro ceedings in the Senate and Legislative Corps yesterday. The S. nste has elected General REGNAULT DE ST. JEAN D'ANGELY and the Duke DE CAIINACEREB its sPer,taries. The pAperi confirm the news of the refusal of the POPE to allow the Prince DE CANINO to approach Rome. The Assemblee Nationale contains an observation on the speech of the PRINCE-PRESIDENT which is not un worthy of attention, as coming from the organ of M. GutzoT and the Fusionists. It asks— " Will the new power which has just established itself remain within the conditions which it has marked out for itself ? We may be permitted to think, after having read the speech of the President, and without in the least calling in question the sincerity of the personal sentiments ex pressed by him, that the Empire is near.' It is form illy indicated—it is even declared necessary, if certain eventu alities arise. And to say out our whole mind, we will add that it appears to us so inevitably involved in the force of cir cumstances, that it would have been better to have pro claimed it now than to have exhibited it as a sort of punish ment held in reserve against the underhand intrigues of parties." In the same article we find the following well-toned and loyal observations:— " Vague feelings of uneasiness exist in Europe. It is with a kind of anxiety that the acts and the words of the chief of the French Government are watched. The name which he bears, the re-appearance of the eagle on our standard, the expectation of the proclamation o: the Empire,—all these causes have spread apprehensions abroad, which we doubt not will be calmed by the speech which has just been de livered. A conflict in Europe would be for every one a ter rible adventure, and it would open for France a series of events which we will not prognosticate. Peace is necessary for all the world. It is that which Prince Louis Napoleon admits by the concluding words of his speech, when he ex presses the hope of securing internal order in a manner to assure the happiness of our country and the repose of Europe. If we really enter on an epoch of social consolidation we shall be the first to rejoice at it. We desire that the institutions which the nineteenth century has in augurated should be loyally tried, and all their good qualities tested. This trial depends more particu larly on the attitude of the Senate and of the Legislative body. While lending to the Government which has created of their sentiments and of tLeir counsels. Th e P res ident, it them a firm co - operation , they owe it no less the frankness must be admmitted, appears himself to invite them to it by the words in which De proclaimed that the Constitution was about to be carried into effect. Of the two shoals which he pointed out in the past—that of excess of despotism and ex cess of Parliamentary regime—it is not the latter which is now to be feared. Since the Chief of the State wishes that the bodies which he has created should enjoy great influence and a high consideration, it is for them to merit that in fluence and that consideration by an enlightened and real in - dependence.' The Legitiniatiat Union, while manifestly cheris hin g visionary prospects of a liJurbon restoration, does not withhold its a pproval of the sentiments of the Presi dential oration. " The language of Louts NAPOLEON," says the Union," breathes calmness and reflection. He has appreciated the Empire as history itself judges of it—a too absolute exercise of power, It is a sort of en• gagement not to allow himself to be led away to imitate it. It is true that this resolution is s ubject to a re striction expressed by comminatory reasons." Here the Union quotes the passages of the speech in which the PRESIDENT declares the only causes which would lead him to make an appeal to the people Cur a higher title, and continues :—" We are pleated to think hat these difficulties are not very probable, and besides it would still be the people who would be called on to pronounce on the necessity of a new transformation of power. We do not believe in underhand proceedings of parties, be cause we are convinced that they would be without effi cacy, without power, and without result. Besides, the parties are better acquainted than is imagined with the necessities which ought to restrain them. They know that a new power is strengthened by imprudent aggression., by conspiracies, or by cabals. Govern ments, whatever may be their origin, have never fallen ut.der such attacks. It is only when public opinion reacts against the faults which they commit that they see themselves totter on their base, and then, and only then, the slightest puff is sufficient to overthrow them. What is the greatest interest of the old mo narchical parties? It assuredly is to preserve so ciety, to stren 4 then order, to defend and cause the triumph of the great social virtues. Unassailable on this ground, it is their duty to resolutely maintain themselves on it, without allowing themselves to be led away in senseless enterprises. Confident in the senti ments of France, they ought to sandy her wants , pro mote her interests, and offer up vows for her linerty, her glory, and her repose. In remaining unflinchingly faithful to their convictions and to their principles, in showing themselves united with all right-thinking men for all which can save our common country, they may repeat the words which LOUIS NAPOLEON did in 1850, ' GOD will do the rest.'" M. EXILt DE GIRARDIN, who has been allowed to return to Paris, has resumed his editorial pen in the Presse. After showing the difficulties to be encountered by a journalist, he nevertheless concludes that he may without danger enter on his renewed enterprise; for as conspiracy could only serve the purposes of a monarchi cal restoration, to which he is opposed, he will faithfully servo a Republic that, resting on the basis of universal suffrage, must lead to future liberty. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" Tho three railway companies which have formed a fusion with the Orleans Company, have come to the arrangement on the follow ing conditions:—The shareholders of the Centre Rail way will receive one °rims share in exchange for two of their shares completely paid up; those of the Bor deaux lice, one Orleans share in exchange fur three of their shares on which 275 f. have been paid; those of the NAntes line will receive one Orleans share in exchange for four of their shares on which 425 t. have been paid. These exchanges will iv cessitate an issue of 96,333 new Orleans shares, and will carry up the num ber to 176 333. Tne shareholders of the Bordeaux and Nantes will have no oiler call to pay, and the Orleans Company takes on itself to complete the works on these two lines by means of a loan at 4} per cent., which it calculates on being able to negotiate at par." We are assured," says the Patrie, " that two en voys extraordinary, charged by the Governments of France and England with a special combined mission, are about to visit Brazil and La Plata. The object of this mission, in which the envoys will act in concert, is , to open to tho commerce of the world the River La Plata, and its tributary streams, Parana and Uruguay." The Dibats says :—" A conference is about to be held in London, composed of the representatives of the five great Powers tad of Sweden, in order to regulate definitively the question of the Danish succession. A convention to that effect will be signed, it is supposed, in the course of next month. The Duke of Augusten burg is to be called on to accept or refuse, within a specified period, the offers of a very advantageous in demnity which have been made to him by the King of Denmark. All the Powers, even Prussia, engage the Duke of Augustenburg to accept." PARIS BOURSE, MARCH 31. The market has been rather heavy to-day.

The English Ministry, it says, will not require his Lordship's proxy in the House of Lqrds on questions of home policy, and respecting fo reign affairs the present Cabinet is in accord with the Noble Lord. A rumour had (according to the Epoca) gained ground that the QUEEN was again in an interesting situation. MADRID 133L5A, MARCH 26.—Three per Cents,, 398; Exchange on London, 50 80. GERMANY. The Wanderer states that the postal treaty be tween England and Austria has been extended to the whole of the Austrian dominions. The postage of letters between England and Austria and the whole of Germany is now greatly diminished. The Russian GRA.ND Dunn left Vienna on the 27th ult. for Munich. On the 25th ult. a hostile meeting took place, at Berlin, between MM. BISMARE SCHOENIIAUSEN and DE VINCE, in consequence of the words that lately passed between then in the Chamber. The duel was fought with pistols, at twelve paces distan c e ; each party fire d at the same time, but without e ff ec t, w hen a reconcila tion took pla c e, and they sh oo k h an d s , and afterwards dined togeth er .

A letter from Han ove r i n a Vienna journal states that all the journals agreed in declaring that the meet ing of the plenipotentiaries concerning the German fleet had failed completely, in consequence of the Cabinets GREECE. In Athens the Rev. Mr. KING has been sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment, and also to banishment from Greece, fur proselytising young Greeks. Mr. KING, who, as an American missionary, has been before the public on other occasions, has appealed against the sentence of banishment ; but we have not heard the result. TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople of the 14th states, that the Turkish Government was anxious to improve its friendly relations with Morocco, and for that purpose the chamberlain of the Palace had bean dispatched by the SULTAN with very rich presents for the EMPEROR. Accounts had been received from Boyrout that the French consul at that place had met with some serious insults; but the reparation had been so prompt that the ace aunt of the crime and its punishment was received at the same time. EGYPT. Advices have been received from Alexandria of the 24th ultimo. The Pecua, who is residing at Muttaria, near Cairo, is much occupied now with the railroad, and has sent 1. vies to the extent of 7,000 or 8,000 men to press on the labour on :he earth work, The coun , ry being quite level, the toad has to be turned by the earth thrown out of pitches cut on either side, which will afterwards suit for the conveyance of water fur irrigation. When this is dune, and the road sufficiently elevated to be beyond the brrei h ck o r of s t o o v n eLfl i , :v v fo dming dto t vien stabilityrde io a v to t t e he e tli ng rails o f and permanent way. There being no rock to cut, and no excavations, the progress is rapid and the work simple. It is expected that in twelve months great advancement towards completion will have been made. The Tanzimat affair also embarrasses him much. In stead of concession on the part of the SULTAN, there appears to be daily increasing obstinacy, and it is now pretty certain that the " Kisas" (or withdrawal of the power of life and death from the PACEIA) will be insisted on. It is seriously feared this will have the effect of dis turbing the tranquillity of the country, and affording a pretext for foreign intervention by France, or some European nation, under colour of supporting the SULTAN'S authority. Ten thousand troops are at present employed between Mecca and Akaba, clearing the great Hadj road of marauders by which it has of late been infested, and forts along the line are being built for the protection of caravans. An English traveller named WATSON, who had visited Thebes with a boat party, unfortunately became involved in the quarrels of some of the boatmen, and being threatened with an attack on his boat, fired upon the assailants, and shot one man dead, and it is said wounded another. The facts are now undergoing in• vestigation at Cairo, and we hops the result will exone rate Mr. WATSON from what now seems very culpable hastiness. The American flag, which has been struck for some time pending the satisfaction of a claim made upon the Egyptian Government for damage to property of a United States subject, was rehoisted on the 11th inst., under a wilute from the batteries of twenty-one guns. The English Consul-General, the lion. CHARLES AUGUSTUS MURRAY, C. 8., quits Egypt in May on lrave of abi.ence, during which his office will be filhd by Co lonel RosE, late Consul-General at Beyrout. The European Society of thin place (Alexandria) is becoming fearfully disturbed and reckl( Si. A youth employed in an English counting-house was stabbed in the public street, about seven o'clock in the evening; and two nights before, an English subject was shot dead also is the public streets, and but a few hours more advanced in the evening. There have been ten or eleven cases of murder among the Europeans since 1852 c,rnmenced. The consuls cannot control their subjects, and the powers of the local authorities are paralysed by the consular rights prevailing in the Levant. In a community a great part of which is made up of the scum of Italy, Greece, Austria, Hungary, and other places, this is a pretty prospect for the peaceably disposed. A gang of thieves, made up of some refugees, perhaps escaped con victs, has lately been discovered, and in their possession were found arms and instruments of the most terrible kind. The chief of police has addressed a circular to the consuls, begging their co-operation in checking the prevailing habit of carrying concealed arms. The Arab population are inoffensive generally, and it any European suffers from them a prompt example is made, and the fullest satisfaction rendered. The British m ril steamer Oriental left Sues for Cal cutta, all well, on the Btn inst. She took with her the passengers of the previous month, d-tainPd at Su, z by the delay of the Liadaington, and h.d nearly 200 in all.

PILCHER.—On Tues day night, about eight o'clock, informalon was re ceived at the terminus of the London and South-Eastern and South Coast Railways, at London-bridge, that this well known and charitable gentleman had just expired at his re sidence, from wounds he had received from being run over by an omnibus, at the bottom of the incline of these sta tions. It appeared, from information gained on the spot, that a little after ten o'clock on Monday morning, Mr. Piicher was crossing from that portion of the incline of , he railway terminus adjacent to St. Thomas's Hospital to the corner of Duke-street, leading to 'Toole-street, in which his extensive warehouses are situated. As soon as he got about the middle of the road, one of the Paddington omnibuses knocked him down, and before any one could render assistance the wheels of the vehicle passed over his body. No one knew the gen tleman at the time, but he was instantly picked up, and conveyed by the railway officers and other parties to St. Thomas's Hospital. He was instantly attended to by the house surgeon and his assistants, when it was discovered that he had received such severe injuries that, at his own request, he was removed home to his amity, among whom he expired on Tuesday night at seven o'clock. Mr. Pitcher is well known as the proprietor of extensive premises in Tooley-street, e here he employed several hundred persons. HEALTH OF MR. CHARLES KEAN.—We have great pleasure in statieg that this celebrated artiste is fast reco vering from his late severe indisposition; and that in a very short time, there is every reason to hope, he will be able to resume his professional avocations. DEATH OF SIR JOHN SHELLEY, BART.—This venerable Baronet died on the 28th ult., at Lonsdale House, Fulham, at the advanced age of 80 years. The deceased was son of the first Baronet by his first wife, daughter of John Newnham, Esq ,of Maresfield Park, Sussex. He mar ried the only daughter and heiress of Thomas Winckley, Esq„ of Brockholes, county of Lancaster. He succeeded his father in 1783. The deceased was a magistrate, and deputy lieutenant of Sussex, and was a claimant of the ancient barony of Sudeley, which has been in abeyance since 1803. The deceased held property in the counties of Sussex and Lancaster. He is succeeded by his son, John Villiers, born in 1808, and now a candidate for Westminister. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. —Yesterday the quarterly general court of governors of this charity was held at the hall of the Scottish Corporation, Crane-court, Fleet-street ; the Duke of .Montrose in the chair.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, and closed heavily; prices. however, were very little changed. The sales were estimated at about 5,000 bales (of which 1,000 Arneric,n were taker, for export). comprising about 4,000 American, 180 Perham and Ma , anbaut at 511. to 611., 30 B,hia at bid , 500 Egyp tian at 6il. to 84d., and 300 Surat at 3d, to 4d. per lb.— Railway Share. were quie; at rather lower prices. Toe sales of Wheat in the provincial markets that re palate the averages were last week 72 981 quarters. The six weeks' average is 42A. 6d. per quarter. Yesterday, at the public sales of Tea, 3,446 packages passed, of which about 2,000 found buyers, including 971 packages of Assam Tea, on account of the Assam Company, and the prices obtained were quite equal to those of previous sales. The quality of these teas pro gressively improves, and while exhibiting less of the stringent high burnt character, which marked the earlier productions, possesses all the strength and aroma which make it so invaluable. The trade readily give prices for this class of Tea much above those produced for Chins descriptions. The following letter has some correct points, and we quite join in the surprise expressed that Mexican Bonds should rule so low whe❑ securities of a more dangerous character, and at an elevation in regard to price which renders them, even when the sscarity is good, unusually dear, are so mach sought after. Peruvian is held by wealthy parties, and the debt is small. Of Mexican there is a larger amount and in weaker hands. These facts beat explain their relative positions, but it needs only a few strong buyers to give a tone to the latter, sad some day, when least expected, this will come. The party who writes us states:— _ _ "Sir,—You commence your Stock and Money article, under the head of Foreign Stocks, by saying that Mex ican are firm at 325 4, and that Peruvian Deferred are flat at 614. Allow m© just to draw your attention to the value of three Stocks; for instance, our Three per Cents. are 985; the Deferred Peruvian are 614, a three per cent. stock, to commence paying 1 per cent. next October, then to increase to :a three per cent. stock in six years, so that now it is only a one per cent. stock• Next October it would take three of them to produce three per cent., and at the present price, 614, it would coat 1841. Now, what think you of the value, compared with our own Threes, which are the highest stock ill the world? The Peruvian has as far eclipsed them DO the sun the moon. Look at the Mexican at 32i, a three per cent.-paying stock, with six per cent., now to be paid on them, which reduces them to 26; this 26, at throe per oent., would be 12 pounds for 104, nearly twelve per cent. You of course know this, but don't you think these two stocks ought to be reversed according to the relative value? Depend on it that the assignment of 0 permanent portion of the revenue of Mexico is far pre . ' fa.able to the bird manufactur e o f guano , as t h ere 0 more guano taken away now in six months than the birds, if visiting the islands in millions, could accumulate in twenty years." The foreign mails bring no intelligence of importance, and there is a delay in the arrival of the French dispatches, owing to an accident to the South-Easter , train at Edenbridge. The lands are rather looking up again, and there less demand for cash, the settlements having been coo' pleted. Consols have been 98i /, and are now 981 1 for Transfer. The lowest price for Account has been 981 Exchequ.r-bills are 68s. prem. East India Bonds are 775. to 804. Foreign Securities have been dull generally, but Mexican Bonds have taken a start upon the purchase ; of the Hebrew party and of Dutch operators. It is rutnoured that, viol New York, information has been received of 95,000 dollars beiug likely to c ome to hand for the dividends by th e nes t Mexican packet. The Conway, it i s t o be remembered, will bring the Pacific mails only. Mexica n Bonds have been 331 to 33, and are now 33 to 1' Buenos Ayres stock is 74 to 75. Equador Bonds ere 5 to I, and Grenada Deferred has dropped to 9/. Pelt' vian Old Stock is worth 104} to 1051 ex. dividend. Mexican converted bonds are being dealt in. Thel bring 261 1. Sardinian Stock is quiet at 93. Sp a nish Three per Cents are 441 to 4 , and the new Deferred to Venezuela Bonds are 47i to 48. Belgian Foul and-a-Half per Cents are 94 to and Dutch Two-aO 4l a-Half per Cents. 601, The last week's Railway receipts, ascertained up ° this day, are in round figures as under:-- 1852. 185 1 ' n Great Western £15,265 .£14, 3 % North-Western 42,363 41, 46 ' 1 South-Western 9,263 9g" 4 Brighton Midland 20, 1 South- East ern North St a ff or d 4,780 4 , 7 60 Lancashire and Yorkshire York and North Midland 7 Newcastle an d B erw i c k Great North ern Aberdeen Railway Shares have been rather looking up witty the last half hour, but the business done is small.
