The Persia brings uslittle intelligence of moment. ,The scattered Confederate forces are one by one surrendering on the same terms as their renowned leader, and the war is considered to be practically terminated. So much so, indeed, is it considered in the North that GRANT has returned to Washing ton and begun the reduction of the military estab lishments. This is a natural and necessary step, since the burdens on the people must be lightened at any cost, now that the pressing urgency of the war is over, but whether we may hope that peace is really restored may be very much questioned. The cessation of actual hostilities does not necessarily infer the reunion and tranquillisation of the people, while the problems are awaiting solution, before any thing like regular government can be re-established throughout the States. The task which awaits the Washington Cabinet might well appal the stoutest heart, and, unfortunately, such is the critical posi tion of affairs that a rash or mistaken step may pro duce lasting evils. Prudence and moderation are; above all things, requisite for the guidance of the helm of State through these troubled waters, but the proceedings of the civil authorities, as yet, give little indication of them. Persons suspected of complicity in the assassination of Mr. LINCOLN have been arrested in Washington to the number of three hundred, and it ap pears that a good many more are marked, for a special prison has been prepared for their reception. The plot," as the individual action of two or three fanatics is now called, is said to extend to Canada, and the United States' Government has notified the Canadian authorities that persons im plicated in it must be delivered to the Federal autho rities. It certainly, affords a very convenient excuse for getting troublesome politicians and friends of the South out of the way ; but we suspect that the Canadian rulers will require a little clearer an d more certain evidence than Mr. STANTON'S " infor mation" before they surrender any man on that The new PRESIDENT has also determined, it is said, upon issuing a proclamation declaring all men sailing under the Confederate flag to be pirates, and directing that they be pursued and treated as such by Federal cruisers. This is nothing very new, since we have been repeatedly told that the Southern privateers were no better than pirates, and the Federal cruisers have been trying to.catch them for the last three years! An instance of the account. petty tyranny in which the party now in power at Washington seem to delight has been given by General HALLECK, who has ordered that all persons wishing to pursue any business or profession in Richmond or Petersburg must first take the oath of allegiance, as well as persons wishing to be married ! What the oath of allegiance has to do with mar riage is not very clear, except as a means of pres sure and arrogance. We should be glad to see a more conciliatory tone infused into the Federal councils, and its leaders may be sure that any tem porary loss of dignity would be amply repaid by the increased stability of the peace and prosperity of the country. Last night Mr. DISRAELI called attention to the I management of certain officials at the Wycombe Union. The right hon. gentleman mentioned the particulars of the case, which certainly did not re flect much credit upon the parties concerned, nor upon the Poor Law Board. It appears that too much laxity was shown to the master of the pauper school, whose conduct seems to have been highly improper. A series of misunderstandings evidently took place as to the powers vested in the Poor-law Board, and the duties that devolved upon the guardians. The consequence of all this is that the offender has escaped with impunity, and a bad precedent has been established. Mr. VILLIERS stated that the Poor-law Board were not to blame, for that upon the representation of the guardians they sent the inspector of the dis trict to inquire into the matter. This official took some time in making his investigations, and the con clusion he arrived at was unfavourable to the master, who thereupon resigned. If an officer of the Poor law Board be dismissed hegeannot be employed in its service again, but if he only resign he can obtain another situation. The offences with which this master was charged, if at all substantiated by evi dence, were such as called for discussion if not for more summary proceedings. The guardians were greatly blamed for the man being allowed to get off so easily ; but when they complained to the Central Board they were told that they might themselves offer a reward for the apprehension of the master and prosecute him. Mr. VILLIERS stated that the power of the Poor-law Commissioners was over when the man resigned, for they could not act judicially in such instances. It was the province of the guardians to protect the children from injury, and they should have appealed to the magistrate in any case of violence or assault. This is rather in consistent, however, when we come to reflect upon it, because if the case authorised the guardians to apprehend and prosecute the master, surely there were ample grounds for his dismissal by the Poor law Board. They must have possessed that power at any rate. The fact is, that it is too much the custom nowadays to allow those ill-timed resignations, which militate against the ends of justice, and are very injurious in every respect, the fullest inquiries should be instituted into all cases which bear upon the conduct of those intrusted with the charge of children, and especially those who are so helpless and unprotected as paupers. Inattention and inef ficiency may well be passed over with leniency by those who judge of the matter, but the conduct of the master of this school appears to have been such as deserved the strongest measures, and it is to be regretted that the guardians did not, in the first in stance, bring the offender before the magistrate, where he would have been sure to meet with his deserts, and all concerned in the affair would have been satisfied. On the order for going into Committee of Supply last night, Mr. CAVE very properly called attention to the allowance made to postmasters. He moved " that it was neither just nor expedient that labour and responsibility should be imposed on public. ser vants without adequate remuneration." The hon. member showed that an increase in the salaries of these officials would not really be an addition to the public burdens, because the surplus revenue of the Post-office was more than sufficient to make up the deficiency. It must certainly be apparent to most persons that it is a false system for the Government to pursue to make profits out of such sources when those employed in the several departments are under paid. Surely there are sufficient taxes imposed to meet all neces sary demands for the exigencies of the public service, but if not odious and obnoxious, as fresh impositions are, they would be more popular and be met more cheerfully than the knowledge that useful public servants are unrequited and not paid in a suitable manner for their arduous and important services. Of course, Mr. CAVE'S proposal was met with the usual official jargon of the inconvenience of making changes, the difficulty of obtaining correct information, and the awkwardness of establishing a precedent. The Chancellor of the Exchequer em ployed his usual tactics in disputing the arguments of Mr. CAVE ; but he was not so successful as he usually is in such arduous efforts, though he gained his point so far that the resolution was withdrawn. It is high time that this subject be taken up in earnest, and that due attention be paid to it. Time after time it has engaged the attention of the Legis lature, and been the theme of discussion out of doors--not always with the same unsatisfactory result of nothing being done. Mr. GLADSTONE went so far as to say that he quite concurred in the prin ciple of the amendment of the hon. member. " He believed that even the hon. member himself would acknowledge that it was not possible to inaugurate any wholesale and sweeping change in the present system." Such a course of expe diency and subterfuge may gain the purpose of the moment, but will infallibly, in the long run, defeat its own ends and disgust the public with such Ministerial mismanagement and official trifling. If it is right that a change be made, why put in delays and prefer excuses when a duty is to be performed? The sooner it is done the better. There has been a great deal too much of this shuffling style of procedure of late years, and indi vidual interests are sacrificed to the prejudices of a certain class at headquarters, who must keep every thing up to the mark of their fancies and desires. Mr. COVE has done good service to the cause by bringing it forward, and it is to be trusted that now they are made evident the error which exist in this department will be speedily rectified. Im mense sums of money are spent, and it is quite inconsistent that any trouble and inconvenience should be allowed to stand in the way of the right and fitting regulation of the matters relating to the Post-office department, acting on the principle of what we did with yesterday we'll e'en do with to day, is not the way to gain public confidence or to secure public respect. THE Su', LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1865. civil engineering itself being comparatively a modern profession. In the far away days, when military engineers like VAUBAN and others attained extended reputations, the humbler but more useful sister pro fession was little thought of ; but the nineteenth century, among its other wonders, has proved how the deep study of the man of science in his closet may affect the busy world of active life thousands of miles away. It is an age, as Lord STANLEY remarked; of victories, not by man over man, not by nation over nation, but by man over nature with the aid of nature herself, and he cited as an illus tration of his assertion three of the greatest works of the day, the telegraph wires, the piercing of the Alps, and the great Egyptian enterprise which is to shorten the route to India by 7,000 miles. Works like these, said the noble lord, are suffi cient of themselves to give an impress to the age. As yet we but dimly foresee the ultimate con sequences of the vast increase of the means of rapid communication between the ends of the earth. The effect upon the political relations will no doubt be come more and more important, and will, we may hope, tend to soften national prejudice, to remove misconstructions, and to diminish the probability of wars. The commercial effect will be proportionately great ; and England, as the chief emporium of trade and enterprise, will certainly be the chief ga . iner. The intelldctual, moral, and social consequences have yet to make themselves felt ; but the tendency of all must be to bring men nearer each other, to enable them better to comprehend the history, the language, and literature of other nations, and to bring the leading minds of one country into more direct communication with another. The works of our civil engineers, then, cannot be regarded as mere triumphs of mechanical skill. Railways have already been said by good judges to be most power ful auxiliaries in Christianising and civilising India; while canals and irrigation works will be as impor tant in promoting the health and material prosperity of our vast Eastarn empire. In our North American possessions the civil engineer is the pioneer of civilisation, and until the railroad and the highway, the bridge and the viaduct are constructed, the richest and most fertile land lags behind in the great race of progress. The Institution of Civil Engi neers has done good service in the cause, and the rapid increase of its members proves the rise of its reputation. In its early years it numbered only 110 members, while at the present moment its ranks muster 1,200, while its revenue has of course in creased proportionately. The guests who last even ing assembled at the annual dinner amounted to 250, among whom were several eminent men. Lord STANLEY'S speech was the best of the evening, since on a subject of so practical a character the noble lord was particularly qualified to dilate, but other addresses of considerable interest were given in the course of the evening. . Sacred Harmonic Society. - A very interesting performance took place last evening in Exeter Hall, when Mr. Costa's oratorio of " Naaman" was introduced to a London audi ence. It was composed for the Birmingham Festival of last September, where it was produced with the greatest success, and, judging from its reception last night, its provincial triumphs will be repeated and even extended in the metropolis. The principal soloists were Miss Edwards, Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Messrs. Cummings and Santley, being the same performers, with one exception, that were present at Birmingham. The principal soprano, part, which on that occasion was taken by Mdlle. Adelina Patti, was last night un dertaken by Miss Edmonds, a young singer of great promise, said to be a pupil of Mrs. Sims Reeves. The performance was throughout an unquestionable success, and the enthusiasm of the audience refused to be restrained from expressing itself in fre quent applause. The encore in one instance was so unanimous that the performers were induced to break the rule by repeating the quartett " Honour and Glory, Almighty, be thine,' admirably sung by Miss Edmonds, Mme. Sainton- Dolby, Mr. Sims Reevs, and Mr. Southy. This quartett, already known in the musical world is likely to become one of the recognised gems of oratorio music. Next to this in favour was the recitative and air in the first part, " Confounded be all they," and " They shall be turned back," sung with wonderful effect by Miss Edmonds. The trio, " Haste to Samaria," by Miss Edmonds, Mdme. Sainton-Dolby, and Mr. Sims Reeves, was another special success, as were also "I dreamt I was in Heaven," by Miss Dolby ; ," What ! what meaneth he ?" by Mr. Sims Reeves ; and " Lament not thus," by Mr. Southy. The powers of these singers are familiar to the public ; of the music which it was their task to render there seemed to be but one opinion, as flattering to the composer as it was satisfactory to the audience. Naaman has evidently at once taken its rank among the standard oratorios of the Sacred Harmonic. University of Durham. It has been resolved to carry into effect the follow ing recent regulations of the visitor and governors of the University of Durham in the following man ner, the changes to commence with the Michaelmas term, 1865 :-- 1. FACULTY OP THEOLOGY. Lectures in Hebrew will form, as heretofore, a regular part of the theological course ; and the Hebrew. prizes, which have been given since 1835, will be continued. Two new prizes of £5O each will be given annually to the most deserving students, - where there is positive merit, on their passing their final examination, in which proficiency in Hebrew will have due weight. Also two exhibi tions of £3O each, tenable for one year, after each of the two preceding examinations. Other prizes and exhibitions will be founded in this faculty, when the funds derived from the abolished fellowships or other sources shall permit. 2. FACULTY OF ARTS. The degree of B.A. may be taken after two years. The residence during each of these years will be of eight months. In this faculty will be founded a school of physical science in which regular lec tures will be given in mathematics and natural philosophy, in chemistry, in civil engineering and mining, including hydrostatics and hydraulics. The terms of residence in this school will be the same as those in arts. At the end of the second year stu dents may become associates in phypical science. prizes and exhibitions will be founded in this school when the funds derived from the abolished fellow ships or other sources shall permit. The university scholarships will be open to all the students in the university. The university lectures will, as at pre sent, be open on such conditions as the senate may determine to persons who are not members of the university. PORTRAIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.—We under stand that a large sum has been subscribed by members of the Middle Temple for a full-length 'portrait of his Royal Highness, who is one of the Masters of the Bench, to be placed in the new library of the society. We are likewise informed that the subscription list will be closed on Thurs day, the 15th of Jiine, the last day of Trinity Term. The maximum subscription is two guineas. A MAD LEAP FROM SUNDERLAND-BRIDGE.— A sailor named Stephen Jeffrey, announced through " The civil engineers of England," said Lord Sunderland in the latter part of last week that he would on STANLEY last evening, << are th e re p resen t a ti v e men last Wednesday jump from the cast-iron bridge into the the bridge above the surface of the of their age," an d th e no bl e l ord undou b tedly spoke water being h b t ei e ng h l e o ig o h f t o eet f .

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA. (Via Crookhaven.) The Royal Mail steamship Persia, from New York on the 3d inst., arrived at Queenstown at 5.10 a.m. to-day (May 13), with 222 passengers and $103,031 in specie. She landed 130 sacks of mails, and 40 passengers, and proceeded for, Liver pool at 5.30 a.m. All well. NEW YORK, MAY 3 (Evening). The surrender of Johnston was negotiated with Sherman alone, Grant having simply notified to the latter that the Government disapproved the previ ous arrangement. The force actually surrendered numbered 27,000 men, and included Generals Beauregard, Hardee, and Breckenridge, together with the North and South Carolina and the Gulf States militia. Wade Hampton refused to be surrendered, and is reported to have been shot by Johnston during a personal altercation. Other accounts, however, state that he had fled with Davis. Schofield would receive the formal surrender at Gainsboro' on the 29th ult. Howard and Slocum's corps will immediately march northward, via Weldon, Petersburg, and Richmond. Howard has issued an order announcing that hostilities having ceased promiscuous foraging on the march will be forbidden. Schofield's corps will remain in North Carolina. Confirmatory intelligence has been received that Dick Taylor had offered to surrender to Canby. Later accounts say that he has concludel an armis tice with Gen. Dana on the same terms as John ston. Negotiations are progressing at the mouth of the Red river for the surrender of Kirby Smith on the same terms as Lee. 900 Confederates at Cumber land Gap have surrendered. Mosby, Rosser, and Imboden are still at large. Their commands have surrendered. An order has been issued at Memphis, stating that after the 25th inst. the rebel soldiers not surrendered will be considered rebels and not prisoners of war. Jefferson Davis is reported to have been seen in a train between Greensboro' and Salisbury en route to Charlotte, but finding the railroad cut returned to Greensboro. Stoneman's cavalry are in the valley of the Saluda river scouting towards Augusta, with orders, if they hear of Jefferson Davis and the specie, to follow him as long as they can. Mr. Mallony, the Confederate Secretary of the Navy,has surrendered at Pensacola to Captain Gib- A gunboat and two tugs have been destroyed at Mobile by torpedoes, and numerous lives were lost. Since the capture of Mobile over 10,000 stragglers have surrendered. The guerillas depredating around Mobile entered the city, intending to shoot General Granger, but could not find him. Thirty thousand bales of cotton were found at Mobile : they are claimed by an Englishman. It is estimated that 100,000 bales are concealed near the city. The Confederate ram Webb ran out of the Red River on the evening of the 23d with lightning speed, and passed the fleet uninjured. She pro ceeded do wn the Mississippi, and passed New Orleans on the 24th, displaying the stars and stripes. She afterwards hoisted the Confederate flag. A Federal steamer started in pursuit. A few miles above Fort St. Phillip the Webb encountered the steamer Richmond coining up. The Webb was immediately run ashore and burnt, and the crew, with the exception of a than and boy, escaped. The Webb was loaded with cotton, and was bound for Havannah. Mr. Davis is said to have passed through Char lotte, North Carolina, on the 30th ult., escorted by cavalry. The Tribune says it has been ascertained that he had only $300,000 in specie. He is reported to have taken a residence at Porto Rico. Rumours are current that Secretaries Seward, Stanton, and Welles have expressed a desire to retire from the Cabinet on the Ist July, and that Messrs. Francis Adams, Preston, and T. W. Fomey would replace them. Grant returned to Washington on Saturday, and commenced the reduction of the military establish ments. It is estimated that 400,000 men will be immediately mustered out of the service. President Johnson has issued an order removing all restrictions hertofore existing, except such as are imposed by acts of Congress and the regulations of the Treasury Department, upon internal, domestic, and coasting commercial intercourse in portions of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The prohibition against commerce in articles that are contraband of war continues, but the restrictions imposed by military and naval officers are revoked. Chief Justice Chase and Treasury Agent Mel lin have started for the coast and river cities in the South, to re-establish Federal courts and organise trade regulations. It is asserted that President Johnson will shortly issue a proclamation, announcing the conditions upon which the Southern people may return to loyalty. General Halleck has ordered persons trading or holding office to take the oath of allegiance. No marriage licenses are to be granted until the par ties concerned take the oath. Governor Aiken, of South Carolina, has been arrested, and ordered to Washington. The New York Herald, in a letter from New Or leans, alleges that there are indications of a junc tion of pro-slavery men with the secession Union sympathisers against the unconditional anti-slavery party. This is represented as the probable status of political parties throughout the South. The press have withdrawn the imputations against Sherman's loyalty. The press and people regard the war as now ter minated, and no renewal of attempts to secede are anticipated. Butler has made a speech urging a military government for the Southern States, and their re admittance to the union after renouncing slavery and secession. He recommended the repudiation of the rebel and the breaking down of the slave-holding aristocracy, and the disfranchisement of the rebel civil, military, and diplomatic officers. The trial of the persons implicated in the Booth conspiracy will commence in Washington next week. Newspaper reporters will be admitted. The number of persons arrested is very large. It is still asserted that the whole affair was planned in Canada and sanctioned in Richmond. Washington despatches announce that the Go vernment has notified to its Consul-General in Canada that criminals implicated in Mr. Lincoln's murder must be surrendered to the United States. The New York Tribune states that Payne has confessed to the attempted assassination of Mr. Seward. An unsuccessful attempt has been made to burn Ford's Theatre. A plot is alleged to have been discovered to burn Philadelphia. The Texas. papers publish a semi-official report of General Wallace's proposal to the Trans-Mississippi military authorities to surrender to the Federal Go vernment. Wallace stated that he acted without authority, and was understood to state that the Federal Government had determined to enforce the Monroe doctrine in Mexico. Wallace invited the Trans-Mississippi army to assist Lincoln, and as a demonstration of strength proposed to send 300 armed vessels to the Mediterranean. Mr. Seward's health is almost restored. He has had an apparatus fixed to his lower jaw. His son is slowly regaining strength. Precautions have been taken in the Northern ports against the anticipated arrival of the Stone wall off the coasts. The City of London, Peruvian, and Scotia, have arrived out.

According to intelligence from Vera Cruz to the 13th, via Havannah, Purnandiso had surrendered to Juarists. The Revolutionists continued their depredations around Morelia. They had been re pulsed at Hualipha. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MAY 13. The Neue freie Presse of to-day says :—" The reply of Russia to the last note of Prussia was despatched yesterday to Berlin. It advocates the immediate convocation of the Diet of Schleswig- Holstein, the elections to which should take place on the basis of the electoral law of 1848 modified. It• does not offer any opposition to the proposals of Prussia in reference to Kiel." PRUSSIA. VIENNA, MAY 13th. The Oesterreichische Zeitung of to-day publishes an analysis of the reply of Austria to the proposal of Prussia relative to the convocation of the Diet of the Duchies. Austria consents to this step upon condition that all questions to be discussed by the Diet should be submitted to it jointly by Austria and Prussia, and that the Duke of Augustenburg should remain in Kiel during the session. Austria does not object to the electoral law of 1848 as the basis of the elections. FRANCE.

LITERATURE. The Hawkshawes. A Novel. By M. A. Bird, author of " Spell-Bound." 2 Vols. Maxwell and Co. With many of the serial romance-readers of the day the initials of M. A. B. have long been familiar favourites. That intense and vivid power of excit ing interest which characterised some of the former productions of this writer, rendering the reader as well as the romance " Spell-bound," is to be found again in " The Hawkshawes," which is a story somewhat original in its plot, and certainly very striking (even in these days) in its incidents. The story, we must premise, is " sensational," that as surance being, however, hardly necessary when the name of Mr. Maxwell appears on the title-page. That gentleman appears anxious to hold among the London publishers a position similar to that aspired to in for mer days by Crebillon among the French dramatists. When reproached for selecting terrible themes for his principal dramas, the Poet is said to have replied, " Corneille s'est empare du ciel et Moliere de la terre ; rien ne m'etait laisse que l'enfer et je m'y suis fete'!" A similar ambition apparently ani mates the " sensational" authors of the day. Those readers who still aspire to be amazed and startled by extraordinary combinations of incidents will find abundant matter of interest and bewilderment in " The Hawkshawes." We will not betray the secrets of the story, as mystery is all essential to the marvellous. We will content ourselves with commending the work to those readers who take delight in exciting stories. The authoress of " The Hawkshawes" has, however, qualities of a higher rank than those of an ordinary sensation-writer. Her style is very pleasing and some of her characters are very natural. The opening chapters relating the breaking up of Ellen Maynard's early home are written with a simple pathos which arrests the reader's interest at the very outset of the story. There is also a quiet humour visible in some of the descriptions, as, for example, when Ellen, previous to their departure, is turning over her mother's hoarded treasures, Mrs. Maynard being " one of those careful women who, under the idea that it may be useful some day, never throw anything away," her accumulation of useless rubbish is of course something remarkable. " There were bundles upon bundles of old letters, possessing the peculiar charm of being of no use or interest even to the owner ; account books, that ought to have lighted fires twenty years before ; piles of Ellen's own copy books, just as they had been sent from school ; and bales and boxes of garments of so ancient a cut that one might have been puzzled to decide whether they might or might not have been acceptable at the British Museum." Occasional touches like the above give a lighter and more pleasing interest to " The Hawkshawes," and will increase its attraction yin the eyes of man readers. Shakspere's Pericles, Prince of Tyre. Facsimile Reprint. Lionel Booth. Bent upon making as complete as possible his admirable Reprint of the First Edition of Shakspere, the Famous Folio of 1623, Mr. Booth has just issued in a supplementary form an exact copy of —as the drama was then entitled—" The much-admired Play called Pericles, Prince of Tyre, with the true relation of the whole history, adventures, and fortunes of the said Prince, written by W. Shak spere "—" Pericles " having, thus, been published during Shakspere's lifetime, but never before printed in Folio. The Facsimile edition of Pericles thus issued from the press by Mr. Booth is copied, as he tells us, " with the same care as [was ?] exercised in the reproduction of the first Folio" from the third impression in folio of " Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies, printed for P.C., London, 1664." It being sup plementarily issued thus as a separate play in order to enable those who already possess the three parts of the Reprint of the 1623 Edition to bind up with those three parts, this play of " Pericles," the only acknowledged play of Shakspere's not printed in the First Folio. It is a happy afterthought, and one upon which we may e qually congratulate the publisher of the Facsimile Reprint of the famous Folio Edition of 1623 and the possessors of that unique tribute to the genius of Shakspere.

MANCHESTER, May 12.—1 n shipping !Yarns we have had a moderate business doing to-day, but nothing like the activity of Tuesday. There has been some little giving way in prices ; but spinners are so deeply under contract for some weeks for ward, and the demand for some markets is so con siderable, that buyers find it difficult to make much impression on prices. Still, in some cases spinners are disposed to take less than they were on Tues day. In home trade yarn it is reported that the market has been very quiet to-day, with but little business doing, and with prices slightly in the buyer's favour. On the other hand, manufacturers report that they have been able to purchase yarns at nearly Id. per lb. decline on Tuesday's quota tions. In cloth sellers report a very limited busi ness, with a generally inactive market since Tues day. The evidences of a more speedy peace than was expected in America have evidently affected the prices of cotton considerably in Liverpool, and there is a marked sympathy among the buyers of cloth in consequence of the decided decline in cotton. So far it has . only affected the market so as to cause a partial suspension of operations, and has not been followed by any weakness in price. Generally speaking, manufacturers are so well engaged, and there are so few stocks of cloth pressing on the market, that they are more than usually independent of external circumstances. The fact that cotton and cottolT yarn have given way so considerably undoubtedly points to lower prices in cloth as probable, as does the almost total unwillingness of buyers to operate ; but, so far as business has gone to-day, there appears to be no giving way on the part of sellers, except where they happen to hold speculative lots. A private telegram from Calcutta to-day reports the market for cotton manufactures good, with 71b: shirtings at 145., and 811 b. shirtings at 18s. per piece. NoTTINGHAm, 12th.—Our Exchange-hall to-day was moderately attended, and a steady business was done,in lace yarns, at prices similar to those of Tuesday. There was not much doing in hosiery yarns, and recent rates may be quoted. All kinds of silk (both thrown and spun) are selling at higher rates. For brown nets the demand was still quiet, and prices remain without any material alteration. THE CHANNEL SQUADRON left the Tagus late on Sunday night or early on Monday morning, and is making rather a straggling run home.
