C.incicling as it does so entirely with the sentiments expressed by ourselves yesterday in reference to the Earl of DERBY'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 Admini•strati .n, if this dispa , sionate estimate of the Q.Bergency were more generally eppreciated and coniprebended. %Vern the First Minister of the Crown, moreover, can find it in his conscience to say on e t hing on the I 9 ~ h of Fehruiry, and diametrically the reverse on the 30 - h of March, we cii p trt believe that ,yc, 47 go - d reason is thereby given wlit the n a 4tl Ydianould repose anything like coufi ience in hi s — " th 'reient. Immediately before the estimates v 'ere B "%itted to the House of Commons, and when fr om the f actious peculiarity of the attitude as'urned by th e Opposition, it appeared to be .. !??t altaltogetherth impossible that the annual sup. plies tniglit be actuall y `s'oppe - - d the new PRIME Mi- NtsTEs conceived it t o b e judicious to hold out the prospect of a speedy dissolution of Parliament. " Only grant us the estimates," said b e absolutely necessary businkss th e of and so soon as the essioaccom plished I will app-al to the country , s 11 the l3 new ). b hat elected representatives 111,,y n t has far advanced, and thereby efor . e autumn relieve the nation from the chance of bein g pl aced A situation of embarrassment." That was literally the the speech delivered by the First Lord of' the of sury in th e m iddl e o f F e b ruary. Y et, a little area longer, an d " on secon d t h oughts, " at the clos e pf iiirCh i When the majority of toe estimates have beenl granted by the Legislature, the Noble Lord deems it advisable to declare that be dces not in the least anticipate that the present session will be of "unusually brief duration," and that be 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 r 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? 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 mi-tsken in the re cent change of his intentions. It is true that the Earl of DERBY endeavoured to explain on Tuesday evening that his opiaions 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 Bram( did in refer ence to the metaphysical COLERIDGE, that he would add to the obligations felt by the public he had mystified by kindly and benevolently " explaining his explanations." Throughout the whole of theme proceedings on the part of Lord DERBY it must be manifest that he has not acted with a candour and manliness becoming one who has been called to the head of the B r iti s h G overnmen t. Ad mitted that the Noble Lord and his Ministerial colleagues were, so to speak, actually "surprised into power," admitted that their po-ition from the first moment of their consenting to take office has been one of almost unexampled embarrassment, admitted that the difficulties of their situation were at the outset very singularly enhanced by the factious and petulant bearing towards them of her MsaesTy'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 conclusion is deducible. The very circumstance of L--rd DERBY shrinking from an im mediate appeal to the country is signifiJant of the fact that he is by no means sanguine of the result of a general election. Were he confident of that result being in his favour, the Legislature would be dissolved before the arrival of Whitsuntide ! Having once obtained the sinews of war, the Pants Mmis- TER would relieve himself of the annoyances conse quent upon being in a perpetual minority in the lower branch of the Legislature. Instead of striving to act thus, however, Lord DERBY uses every means to protract the present session for as long a period as possible : wherefore we insist that from these cir cumstances the nation is justified in drawing it s o wn conclusion. The Commissioners of Land-Tax fur " the rest" of the county of Middlesex, viz., all the districts not in cluded within the city and liberties of Westminster, assembled yesterday at the Sessions House, Clerken well, to hold that which, under the terms of the Act of Parliament, should be their annual meeting, but which has practically been only the third meetiug for more then a quarter of a century. From the ex tremely narrow and limited views entertained by the majority of the Commissioners it would be a matter of but trivial importance if they totally abstained from any effort, however faint, to discharge the duties confided to their charge, fot they only meet to lend 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 efficiency, the decrees, which charge one shilling in the pound, or upwards, on one division, and less than one farthing 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 opposition ,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." The 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 ari'en in the administration of this hew, 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 present circumstances of the country, and the pecu liar interest with which every fiscal question is in vested, be permitted once more to give a brief ac count of this the most politic and just of the ..many imposts to which the people are subjected, and which, if fairly carried into execution, may be re garded as the proper basis for direct taxation. In the olden time, from the Conquest until the time of the Commonwealth, the national establishments— there was nu public debt—were maintained out of the Royal estates ; or whenever there was a defi ciency, by contrioutious from the landed proprietary throughout the country. The territorial aristocracy were, however, then in the ascendant, and they ac cordingly transferred many of the burdens from their own shoulders to those of the industrious classes, and the infanaoue Excise duties were imposed in place of those charges which had been removed from real property. The Restoration afforded no relief. On the contrary, the chains of the taxpayers were eouole-rivetted, and in 1665 a tax on beer and other w as granted as a hereditary r evenue to the liquids was as a recompense fur the abolition of the "Court ofWards" and " Li ver i es ," an d " tenants in capite," &c. lAfter the revolution the Legislature, however, ap- Peered disposed to act more justly towards the of roXXot• The required funds were authorized to be raised by mea ns of the " land-tax," as it was termed, but which really charged a poundage on land, and a tax on per- The 4th Wm, sonal pro perty, wh e th e r productive or un p roducti ve. and Mary, c. 1, was the statute which gave explicit di rect i on s for assessing and col lecting the amount ; and although many statutes Passed r egu l a ting the impo s t , more have since b een especially the 38 t h George 111., c. under which it is now levied, th e Commissioers for the several districts are still--we sh a ll not say guided —but actually governed by the proportionsby the assigned Act of 1692, from which no departure, however urgently required, has ever been allowed. Nu eke"' tion in the value of propeity has ever been recog raised, and thus we find, that w hil e some districts are pay ing as much as is. 61., 24., or even 2•. 91 in the pound (as for instance Snengay, in Cambridgeshire), others were escaping for considerably less than a far thing in the pound. Those best able to pay were, therefore, the lowest contributors, while depreciated property was kept up to the highest point. The entire county of Laucaster, including Liverpool, Manchester, Pie ston, &c., is, for i nstance, only as sessed at 20,9891. 14s. 61., 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 iex at 107,6021. 11.!. 7d. These chsrgea, though most enormous, when compared with the amount claimed in the county cf Lancashire, do not, however, show anything like the disparity existing between the different localities. We find, for instance, that the parishes of Sr. 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. i\larylebone, however, distances all its metropolitan rivals, the charge being less than a farthing in the pound, the as sessinecit on the entire parish being only 4921., far less than the value of single dseelling.housee in that im portant locality. Liverpool, however, is still better off, the inhabitants of the modern Tyre only bring one-sixteenth of a penny, or little required in ore than t to u pa y e q uarter of what the oppressed Mary lebonians are compelled to pay. These anomalies caanot much longer be permitted to exist. Itiliiiiifficient 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 CHAIt CELLO& of the Excu EWER, with the view of urging the Right Honourable Gentleman to bring the subject under the con. sideration of Parliament. Such proceedings were worse than useless when Sir CH ARLES WOOD held the seals of office, and presided over the financial department of the Government, but with Mr. DISRAELI we look for more auspicious results. We cannot forget that the Right Honourable Gentleman has himself complained of the hard ship to which his constituents were subjected in being compelled to pay Is. sd. in the pound, while other counties, far more populous and more rich, are let off for 2d. 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 fiscal 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 posesibly 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 the least intolerable portion of the grievance. As the Expositor very justly observes, it is som" wbat unfair to impose a duty of ls. 6d. upon every separate adverti semen t i n a newspaper, and yet to permit ad ver ti semen t s t o 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 fly-leaf of a magazine or a quarterly, that a duty of is. 6d. is rigorously levied upon every single announcement. Nor is this the only extent of the inequality—the same impost, as is by this time tolerably notoriou , , being inflicted upon such advertisements as those without distinction, be it an advertisement of a penny pamphlet or of a guinea annual, an advertisement of a poor servant girl out of work, anxious to obtain a situation, or of some wealthy old " hunks," anxious to sell an estate in Wiltshire with a view to purchase 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 Westminster, 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." This, 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 ject to-morrow, with a view to its more careful consi deration. d AMERICAN NE WS.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur contains only a few lines of the pro ceedings in the Si-nate and Legislative Corps )e,terday. The S nate has elected General REGNAULT DE ST. JEAN D'ANOELY and the Duke DE CABIRACERES its tetr( us , . it The papers confirm the news of the refusal of the PIPE to ailow the Prince DE CANINO to approach Rome. The Aseemblie 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. GuiaoT 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 formally 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 of 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 ah epoch of social consolidation we shall be the first to rejoice at it. We desire that the institutiens 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 them a firm co-operation, they owe it no less the frankness of their sentiments and of their counsels. The President, it must be admmitted, appears himself to invite them to it by the words in which he 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 Legitimatist Union, while manifestly cherishing visionary prospects of a Baurbon restoration, does not withhold is approval of the sentiments of the Presi dential oration. The language of Lours NAPOLEON." says the Union, "breathes calmness and reflection. He it—a h has aptporoeacibas.oeldutetheexEermcpisie of reas history itself judges of en gagement not to allow himself p t o o we. led away a is a sool' imitate ber le it. It is true that thi s resolution is su bj ec t to a re striction expressed by comminatory reasons ." Here the Union quotes th e p asiages of the speec h i n w hi c h the PRESIDENT decla res the only causes w hich would lead him to m a k e an appeal to th e p eo pl e for a higher title, an d cont i nuos : w —" We are pleased to think that these difieulties are not very probable, a n d b es i des it wou ld s till b e the people who would b e ca l led on to prono unce on th e necessity of a new t ransformation of power. We do not believe in underh an d procee d ings o f p a rti es , be cause we are convinced that they would be without efii. cucy, without power, and without result. BeAdea, 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 aggressions, by conspiracies, or by cabals. Govern ments, whatever may be their origin, have never fallen under 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 strengthen 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 study her wants, pro mote her interests, and offer up vows for her liberty, 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 Louse NAPOLEON did in 1850, GOD will do the rest.' " M. EMILE DE GIRARLIN, who has lren allowed to return to Paris, has resumed his editorial pen in the Prease. 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 pui poses of a monarchi cal restoration, to which he is opposed, he will faithfully serve a Republic that, resting on the basis of universal suffrage, must lead to future liberty. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" The 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 Orleans share in exchange for two of their shares completely paid up; those of the Bor deaux line, one Orleans share in exchange for three of their shares on which 2751. have been paid; those of the Nantes line will receive one Orleans share in exchange for four of their shares on which 425 f. have been paid. These exchanges will nczessitite an issue of 96,333 new Orleans shares, and will carry up the num ber to 176,333. The shc:eholders of the Bordeaux and Nantes will have no other call to pay, and the Orleens 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 the 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 and 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, Kitten 31. The market has been rather heavy today.

A treaty between Austria and Holland, for the con veyance of the Datch India mail vis Trieste, concluded on 16th February, has just been ratified. GREECE. In Athens the Rev. Mr. HANG has been sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment, and also to banishment from Greece, for proselytising young Greeks. Mr. KING, who, as an Amfirican 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 iitates, that the Turkish Government was anxious to improve its friendly relations with Morocco, and for that purpose the chamberlain of the Palace had t esn dispatched by the SULTAN with very rich presents for the EMPEROR. Accounts had been received fro'n B , .yrout that the French coniul at that place had met with some serious insults; but the reparation had been so prompt that the acc , :unt of the crime and its punishment was received at the same time. EGYPT. Advices have been received from Alexandria of the 24th ultimo. The PACHA, who is residing at Muttaria, near Cairo, is much occupied now with the railroad, and has sent levies to the extent of 7,000 or 8,000 men to press on the labour on the earth work. The country being quite level, the road has to be formed by the earth thrown out of ditches cut on either side, which will afterwards suit for the conveyance of water for irrigation. When this is done, and the road sufficiently elevated to be beyond the reach of overflow during the inundation, a levelling of brick or stones is formed to give stability to the rails 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 " Ki•as" (or withdrawal of the power of life and death from the PAcRA) 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 Aksha, clearing the great Hadj road of marauders by which it has of late been infested, and forti 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 hope the result will exone rate Mr. WATSON from what now seems very culpable hasaness, The American flag, which has been struck for some time pending the satisfaction of a claim DX le upon the Egyptian Government fur damage to property of a United States subjec*, was rehoisted on the 11th inst., under a salute from the batteries of twenty-one guns. The English Consul-General, the Hon. CHARLES AUGUSTUS MURRAY, C. 8., quit 3 Egypt in May on leave of aroenu., due-.g which his office will be filled by Co lonel ROSE, late Consul-General at Beyrout. The European Society of this plt:::e (Alexandria) is becoming fearfully disturt3d and reckless. 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, 01 English subject was shot dead also in the public stree' - 3, and but a few hours more advanced in the evening. There have baen ten or eleven cases of murder among the Europeans since 1852 ci mmenced. The consuls cannot control their subject'', and the powers of the local authorities are paralyzed 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 peae-ably disposed. A gang of thieves, naLle up of some re.agees, perhaps escaped con victs, has lately been discover. d, and in their possessi.di were found arms and instruments of the most terrible kind. The chief of polka has aidrz'ssed a circular to the consuls, begging their co-op ration in checking the prevailing habit of carrying concealed arms. The Arab p)pulaoon are inoffensive generally, and it any European suffers from them a prompt example is made, and the fullest satisfaction rendered. The British mail st - itimer Oriental left Suez for Cal cutta, all well, on the Bth ins'.

PILCHER.-011 Tues day night, about eight o'clock, information 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 bad 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. Pileher was crossing from that portion of the incline of the railway terminus adjacent to St. Thomas's Hospital to the corner of Duke-street, leading to Toole . l-street, in which his extensive ware houses are situated. As soon as he got about the middle of the road, one of the Paddington omnibuses knocked him and before any one could render assistance th e 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 o,fi er parties to St. Thomas s Hospital. He was instantly at tended to by the house surgeon and his assistants, when it he had received such severe injuries was discovered that he was removed home to his tatnil at, at hi s own r equest, on Tuesday night at seven o'clock. ykalllong whom he expired Pilcher is well known as the proprietor of extensi ve premises in Tooley-stree t, v.here he employed several hundred persons.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool ..,„, 1,"...;Jj-, pi LutS, nowever, were very little changed. The sales were estimated at about 5,000 bales (of which 1,000 American were taken tor export), comprising about 4,000 American, 180 Pernam and bilaranharn at 54,i. to 30 Bahia at 6id., 500 Egyp' tian at 6,d. to 84 J., and 300 Surat at 3d. to 4d. per Railway Share, were quiet, at rather lower prices. The sales of Wheat in the provincial markets that re' gulate the averages were lest week 72 981 quarters. The six weeks' avenge is 42i. 6d. per quarter. Yesterday, at the punlic sales of "lea, 3,446 packages passed, of which about 2,000 found buyers, including 971 packages of Assam Tea, on account of the Assay' 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 Chihli descriptions. The following letter has some correct points, and sse quite join in the surprise expressed that Mexican Bonds should rule so low when securities of a more dangerou s character, and at an elevation in regard to price w hicli renders them, even when the security is good, unusualli d , ar, are so much sought after. Peruvian is held bl wealthy parties, and the debt is small. Of Mexican there is a larger amount and in weaker hands. Thee ° facts best explain their relative positions, but it needs only a few strong buyers to give a tone to the latter , and some day, when least expected, this will come. TO party who writes us states:— " Sir,—You commence your Stock and Money article' under the head of Foreign Stocks, by saying that Mei' ican are firm at 323 1, and that Peruvian Deferred are fist at 611. Allow me just to draw your attention t ) the value of three Stocks; for instance, our Three per Cents. are 983; the Deterred Peruvian are 613, a three per cent. stock, to commence paying 1 per cent. nest October, then to increase to :a three per cent. stock il l six years, so that now it is only a one per cont. stash , Next October it would take three of them to peodue e three per cent., and at the present price, 61k, it wouldl cost 1841. Now, what think 3ou of the value, compared with our own Threes, which are the highest stock td the world? The Peruvian has as far eclipsed them 0 , the sun the moon. Look at the Me x i can at 324 , a than per cent.-paying stock, with six p er cen t. , now to b e paw on tin ro, which reduces them t o 26 ; t hi s 26 , at t h ree Pe , cent., would be 12 pound s f or 1 0 4 , neat l y twe l ve per cent. You of course know this, but don't you thi" these two stocks ought to be revered according to $ 0 relative value? Dtpend on it that the assignment of permanent portion of the revenue of Mexico is far pre f- rable to the bi r d manu f acture o f guano, as there „ euano taken away now in six months than 01 , buds, if visttine the islands in millions, could accumulo o in twenty years." The foreign mails bring no intelligence of importal and there is a delsy in the arrival of the Freue dispatches, owing to an accident to the South-East ern train at Edenbridge. The Fends are rather looking up again, and there tt less demand for cash, the settlements having been CO pleted. Cmasols have been 98k 1, and are now 9 8 1 for Transfer; The lowest price for Account has be eo . 983 Exchequer-bills are 68s. prem. East Bonds are 775.. to 80s.
