TIC +, S`"N, LONDON, THURSDAN, APRIL 22. !S4l EVENING EDITION It A T Of SUNDAY, 25th of Aram, will contain, was a total disregard and defiance of all public decency and religious feeling. Unaffected by the religious service he had at tended, he tortured a fellow-creature on the Sabbath ; and there is no appearance that any of his officers remonstrated. They all, perhaps, including the surgeon and chaplain, looked on it as a customary trifle, made no complaint, and acquiesced in this brutal desecration of the day of peace and rest. The Standard says, "Woe awaits us when we shall have any other than a, Christian army ;" but what sort of an army have we now, when such conduct as that of Lore. CARDIGAN is tolerated by officers and men, anti is taken no notice of by his superiors? The general feelings and practices of the army, which are intimated by this proceeding, are calculated to excite sorrow and apprehension. bamboozled them, by expressed or implied pro mises, to turn out the Whigs, and re-establish, wider some guise or other, the old corruptions vaid the old Oppressions. The Conservative leaders cannot realise their own promises and the expectations of their followers, and hence their dupes begin to look on them as a parcel of poli tical-cheats. This is a conviction founded in the nature of things, which every day.will strengthen; and add to the number of those who entertain it. • The undoubted fact is, that Conservatism is altogether a lie; and " man," as Mr. CARLYLE - says, " is everywhere the born enemy of lies." It pretends to be founded on religion, while it seeks only pelf. It lays claim to exclusive holi ness, when it has all the worst vices of our common nature. It has in. its mouth no other words than public good and social order, meaning all the while a bread tax and the slavery of the multitude. It talks of public happiness —it menus the aggran disement of a few worthless idlers at the expense of the industrious millions. It pretends to be loyal to the Throne, while it thinks only of seiz ing power for itself. Prostituting the best and holiest names, such as public order and religion, to its own party purposes, Conservatism is, from beginning to end, one great and terrible lie. Its dupes begin to find it out. The Church and Conservatism are nearly one and the same,"for Conservative politics all centre in upholding the Church. Hence our Contem porary, when he talks of "a Conservative party in Parliament making the fitith and the spirit of Christianity its rule," opposed as he is to the Dis .senters, must mean, the faith and spirit of Chris-• tianity as found in the Church. It adopts, then, the policy of rallying all Conservatives round the Church, having for standard-bearers the Bishop of EXETER and Sir It. Ircous. Now of this Church—or rather of the priesthood, which in all political squabbles is what the word Church stands for, and never for the congregations—the present number of the .Edinbtirgil lieviezo gives us an instructive picture. It first shows that alt the Puseyite party are sophistical Jesuits, play ing with words as children do with toy maps, eilucking them together without any regard to their real place ; and :next, it shows that all the non-Puseyites in the Church require a similar latitude to enable them to have a reasonably quiet conscience. We will quote the passages:— " Here is a man, who, on being ordained a clergyman of the Church of England, swore in the most public, the most positive, the most sacred mariner, that he believed that Genetal Councils, without the least hint of any ex c ption, may err, in things pertaining to God, and delibe rately dee.aring that some lieneral Councils are infallible. What .oan after this need hesitate to take any oath, however repignant to his sentiments, if he may without breach of conscience afterwards insert any exception he chooses? What but the terror of a Court of Law, that judges only by the letter, need ever bind a man down to keep, not his promise only, but his oath ? What Jesuit needs scruple to uphold the morality of mental reservations, if Mr. Newman's exceleion is moral? Let us suppose some Roman Catholics to have taken the oath of allegiance to the Queen, and to have been afterwards de tected in a conspiracy against her throne and her life, and let us suppose such an one to be asked, how he re conciled his trea'on with his oath ; why should he not answer that his oath was intended to be kept only when his duty to the King of kings did not require otherwise, and that the duty of dethroning heretics, when practieab:e, was a real though unexpressed exception to his oath ? What would be the feeling of all England on hearing such an answer? Why, both in past and present ages, have such mental reservations excited the detestation and abhorrence of all men? Why have all r, In addition to its Piliti( al, Literary, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, ANTICIPATIONS Of the Newmarket Spring Meeting, By VATES. To bl bad of all Newsmen in Town and Country.

I. is not far the story, but for the fine delineation of the movements of the human heart ; for the striking descrip tions of eminent political and distinguished persons ; for the great knowledge of life and men and things displayed in every part; for just reflections on events which belong to all yeriods; for vigorous -opinions on celeb. ated authors and the tendency of their writings; and, above all, for an elevated, manly, and moral tone, calculated to discourage vice and inspire virtue in every walk and relation of life. 'These volumes will long continue to be an ornament to the polite literature of our time.''—Lite rary Gazette. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. Next we have a Minister of the Crown ex pressing little or no indignation at this outrage. It was something Mr. MACAIJLAY could not reconcile to good taste and good feel ing. Instead of being violently offended at the thought of a human being tied up and lashed till he bleeds ; instead of al most sickening with horror at such a cruel punishment being inflicted on a Sunday, Mr. MACAULAY indulged in an eulogium on Lord CARDIGAN'S humanity. That is for us a very sad indication of the state of feeling ih those states men to whom we look for a moral example as well as to guide the national policy. Finally, we have a journalist who lays claim to a prodigious respect fbr religion, who demands more churches, and seems inclinednever to men tion the name of the Church without bowing the head in reverence, who would not fbr the world write a political article on Christmas or Easter days—finally we have this super-religious jour nalist putting fbrth excuses for the conduct of Lord CARDIGAN in the general practices of the army. We have inserted a part of the Standard article, and need not quote it here. We see in it, however, an indication of that complete hypo. crisy and hollow-heartedness which pervades the whole of the Church and Conservative party. The Conservatives see with horror a few workmen, pent up in a close workshop for six days in the week, enjoying themselves in the fields and in the parks of a Sunday, running by railway down to Greenwich, or steaming up to Richmond; then they lift up their hands and eyes, and cry out against the immorality of the age; but they excuse, by the general practice of the army, the brutal desecration of the Sabbath by Lord CARDIGAN. The hypocrisy of the Con servatives, the deadened feelings of public men, and the reckless disregard of all respect able and religious feeling in the army, which are thus indicated, seem to us even more aflUxting than the mere act of flogging a soldier on the Sabbath.

Men of all sects and parties, religious as well as political, joined in the well-merited tribute conferred on an officer alike remarkable for skill in battle, and straightforward and upright conduct in negotiations. It will be seen from an address in another part of the paper, that the same honour has been prepared for him at the first manufacturing town in the empire, and that the Mayor and Burgesses of Manches ter were to entertain the Gallant Commodore at a public dinner yesterday, in commemoration of their gratitude for the early termination of the horrors of war, and for the restoration of the in estimable blessings of peace. Wherever he goes he will be received with acclamations, and loud expressions of praise for the honour he has con ferred on his native country. He will be in London probably by to-morrow or this day, and we have no doubt that in this mart of the world, the queen of cities, celebrated for her wealth, trade, commerce, and liberality, and we may add gratitude, he will be received with the same unanimous welcome. The Magistrates and Burgesses of London will not allow themselves to be outdone by Liverpool or Manchester, and, though not first in the field, they will be proud to follow so noble an exam ple, and confer honour on a man who, while he so nobly fought the battles of his country, ac quired the friendship and the esteem of the enterprising and warlike. Egyptian whom he was reluctantly compelled to attack. This is a duty incumbent on all parties. The origin of the con test is entirely out of the question. Commodore NAPIER was bound as a servant of the Sovereign to obey the commands of her Ministers, and he carried these commands into effect with a rapidity and decision unequalled perhaps in ancient or modern warfare. As soon as the attack commenced at Beyrout, the British fleet, with a handful of troops, swept along the Syrian coast like a hurricane, and in one month put an end to a contest which, under the guid ance of a less skilful commander, might have entailed tenfold suffering, not only on the un happy people of that country, but on the civilised world. For this he deserves great praise. But his conduct in battle does not form the only or the principal part of his achieve ments. His negotiations with the PACHA ; his anxiety to do justice to a fallen and a generous enemy ; his patriotic determination to maintain the honour of his country, and adhere manfully to what he considered the spirit of the treaty, notwithstanding the rebuke of his Admi ral, and the wicked machinations at Constanti nople, do him the highest honour, and call for the warmest congratulations from every friend of mercy, justice, and peace. To him the citi zens of London, the first commercial city in the world, above all others, are deeply indebted ; and we doubt not that they will take the first opportunity of testifying their sense of his merits by some public demonstration. Even France, so jealous of this country, can take no umbrage at this display. NAPIER obtained no victory over her, he carried his orders into effect against the aggressions of MEHEMET ALI, and his only remaining objects now are to secure the fulfilment of the treaty to the fullest extent, and place the relations between Turkey and Egypt on a safe and honourable footing, calcu lated alike to preserve peace between the two countries, and all the great Powers of Europe.

APRIL 22, Will be repeated the New Comedy, in Five Acts, entitled "THE CHINA SUN," REPUBLISHED A FEW DAYS AGO, IS NOW ON SALE, With all the LATEST NEWS. rum RAILWAY SUN WILL BE PUBLISHED TOWARDS THE END OF THIS AIONT H. pectable Catholics been so extremely vehement of late years in disclaiming the least participation in them? Because they ans loaded with the guilt of falsehood in its most heinous form ; because they insert, after the promise, exceptions unexpressed at the time it was made—exceptions contradicting the very words of the pledge given—deceiving the imposer of the pledge—and destroying all confidence in the honour and good faith of mankind. And where is the difference between the mental reservation of the Jesuit and the exception of Mr. Newman? In principle there is none whatever. They both alike are violations of the cardinal rule for the observance of engagements that they are to be kept in the sense with which he who gives the promise believes the other to impose it. They vitiate the !ledge given, and convert it into an instrument of deceit. Indeed we greatly wonder that an English clergyman, admired by a large party, and pretending to be a revi'er of holiness and Christian principle, should thus teach his fol lowers how to say one thing and mean another. Had 11r. Newman boldly proclaimed that he did not agree with the Article, his offence would have been much less. But to diff er from the Article, and then to endeavour to persuade h.nest and scrupulous consciences that they may lawfully and religiously swear they agree with the Article, yet by means of an arbi trary and unexpressed exception, may believe just the con trary, is something which we will not characterize as it de serves." " We shall probably be met with the question,—' What, then, is every one who subscribes the Articles obliged to agree with the most minute statement contained in them, inter preted in its original and fairest sense ?' We frankly answer, No. It is impossible that so extensive a document, embracing such a vast number of propositions, varying in importance from the highest principles of religion to mere details of ordi nary life, should have remained unaltered for centuries, and yet continue to be in entire harmony with the opinions of men ; that the progress of thought and knowledge, the advances made in history, antiquity, criticism, &c., should have left un touched all and each of its many statements. It is an evil very much to be deplored that the Articles, no more than the University statutes, the obs rvance of which is equally enforced upon oath, are not brought in unison with the times. But since it is not so— since men are still called upon to pledge themselves to them in their ancient and unaltered fot m—the only way in which we conceive it possible for an honest man to ju,tify the act to his conscience is, to satisfy himself that he thoroughly and unreservedly assents to their essential spirit ; and that he does not differ from them but upon points which may be departed from without breakmg away from the fundamental truths which they lay down as the constitutive principles of the Church of England." W e have little doubt, from the spirit of the whole article, that it is written by some distin guished member of the Low Church party; and taking it, therefore, as authority, can anything be more melancholy for the whole body of par sons, and more hopeless for the nation, than the picture it sets before us ? The clergy, according to theie extracts, do not, and cannot, believe the Articles they swear to. Time has made innova tions in them. One party tries to reason a diffe- rent meaning into them, and the other swears tb them with a secret reservation, or gives to them a meaning of its own. The clergy are all sensi ble that the State Church is a falsehood, and their whole lives are passed in vain at- We yesterday quoted from . the volume of Correspondence on the Eastern Question, just presented .to Parliament, an extract from a des patch from the Russian Plenipotentiary, Baron BRUNNOw, to Count NESSELRODE, which ap peared to us to demonstrate that Lord PALMER STON had been wanting in his duty as a British Foreign Minister, when, in September last, he consented to entrust Russia with the protection of Constantinople, provided three or four British ships of the line were, for mere form's sake, suf fered to enter the Straits of the Dardanelles. We now publish, in another part of The Smi, Lord PALMERSTON'S despatch to the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, our Ambassador at the Court of St. Petersburgh, on the same subject, in which we are astonished to find his Lordship's testimony of the fulness and fidelity of the Noble Baron's report of the interview between such very un equal adepts in the art of diplomacy. But mo derate, and, under the circumstances, pusiliali mous as was Lord PALMERSTON'S proposition of sending a mockery of a naval force to co-operate with Russia in the Bosphorus, it was not without great difficulty —not without a conviction that by no other means could the British and French alli ance be broken up—that the EMPEROR con sented to it. And when he did consent, and the Treaty was signed, Baron BRUNNOW was ex pressly commanded to demand from Lord PALMERSTON the amount of the naval force to be placed at the disposal of the SULTAN. The object of this demand, which, with the answer to it, we have also quoted, was evidently to ob tain from L or d P ALMERSTON an Vofficial statement -of the force destined to enter the Dardanelles. Lord PALMERSTON appears to have understood this, and hastens to set the EMPEROR at rest on the subject el his cherished wish to become alone master of Constantinople. "The amount of naval force," says his Lordship in his note of the 15th of July, "which we could spare for such a purpose (the defence of Constan tinople) must necessarily be limited by a conside ration of the aggregate amount of our squadron in the Mediterranean and of the other services which .that squadron will have to perform ; and I had occasion to make known to your Court, by a despatch which I addressed to Lord CLANRICARDE in October last, that in such a case we should be able to send but a small number of ships to the Sea of Marmora. I have now communicated with Lord MINTo, and I have to state that our Mediterranean squadron consists of the ships mentioned in the accompanying list ; and consi dering the various duties which that squadron. will have to perform, we could not conveniently undertake to despatch more than three or four ships of the line, with a proportion of frigates and steamers, to co•.operate with the Russian ships, in the event of the SULTAN requiring the aid of the he' o Powers for the defence of his capital." Would it ever be supposed from this language that the object of Lord PALMERSTON was to give a pledge to Russia not that he could not but that he would not send more than three or four ships of the line to the Dardanellts in the event of the Russian fleet entering the Bosphorus ? By a re ference to his Lordship's despatch to the Marquis ! of CLANRICARDE it will be seen that his great difficulty was to obtain Russia's permission to send a single British ship up the Straits. Mark, too, that the three or four ships were only to ; be spared at the personal request of the SULTAN— a request which Lord PALMERSTON well knew Russia, when mistress of his capital, would never suffer him to make. But before Lord PALMER- STON wrote this jesuitical note he had performed the business of Russia, and only sought to con• coct a document to throw dust in the eyes of the British House of Commons. For what vas there to protect of Turkey, with Constanti oople garrisoned by a Russian army ? Of what importance is it to England What estimate the inhabitants of Syria form of our prowess pro vided we sink into insignificance at Constan inople ? The publication of these documents will more an ever endear the Gallant Commodore NA PIER to his countrymen. But for the prompt gallantry of this heroic officer Lord PALMERSTON had prepared a train the firing of which would have blown up the Ottoman empire. For Con stantinople once again fairly in the occupation of Russia, the House of OTIIIVIAN, to parody the la conic decree of NAPOLEON, would have ceased .o reign ; and occupied Constantinople would have been by Russia, but for the series of bril liant victories obtained by the Gallant Commo dore on the coast of Syria, which compelled IBRA Him PACHA to evacuate that Province. By a prodigy of British valour, as yet neither duly appreciated nor rewarded by the British Government, Turkey has been saved from the open violence of her enemies, and the more dan gerous wiles of her pretended friends. If our readers regard as too severe these stric tures upon the conduct of a Minister, who has hitherto had, from equally pure and patriotic motives, our humble need ofsupport, our answer is, the documents are before them, and they are welcome to take a more favourable view of it, if they can do so consistently with a due regard to the interests of the country. The facts from which we form ourjudgment are sufficiently simple and intelligible—Lord PALMERSTON'S consent to the sole occupation of Constantinople by an un limited number of Russian troops, and of the presence of an equally unlimited Russian fleet in the Bosphorus, under any circumstances short of the utter annihilation of the military and naval power of Old England, the natural ally and protector of the Ott oman E m pi re . 1 tempts to reconcile their convictions to their interest. By that they are made miserable and the public morality is undermined. The foundations of the State Church are laid in false hood, and insincerity pervades every part of the building. Men, as we learn from the Times, will no longer be content with such mockeries; they seek the true and the real, and they will and must trample the false and unreal out of ex istence. Hence the separation of honest men from the Conservative party. Some uncertainty, it is said, prevails at Not• tingham as to Mr. WALTER'S opinions oil the Corn-law, and on Church-rates. Our state ments that Mr. WALTER, when in Parliament, twice neglected to vote for motions directed against the Corn-law, and that the Times has not lately exerted its power against it, should put an end to all doubt on the subject. Neither Mr. WALTER nor the Times dare openly advocate ' the Corn-law; but they do 'V hat is worse, they burke all discussion on it as far as they can, and The appointment of_ Prince MAVROCORDATO so endeavour to convince the public that it is a perfect indifference.

Dissent and democracy are standlilg topics of ridicule in the Times; yet Nir. WALtER) with great hardihood, appeals to the dernOM'acy for support. How any Chartist +could vote for Mr. WALTER, would be to us quite inexplicable, had we not been informed that the people about Nottingham are reduced to so sad a state of dis tress, and have been so often disappbinted, that they support Mr. WALTER out of hatred and a desire of vengeance. " I care nothing for prin ciple," is the reply, we are told, of these men, when remonstrated with for supporting Mr. WAL TER, " I will have revenge." Mr. WALTER, then, if he be returned, of which we believe there is not the smallest prospect, would be the repre sentative of Chartist vengeance and Conservative falsehood. Violence and humbug is the motto of the Times and Mr. WALTER. will be aspersed, and such measures introduced as shall tender Greece not only more politically free in her own. eyes, but more honest in the eyes of the test of the Lord PALMiata. didre&influence.with the new Greek Premier is known to be very great, and as his Lordship has faults in the East to atone for —grave faults as we have ourselves proved —we know of no atonement which he could make, apart from the affair of China, «rich would prove more gratify ing to the people of England than to insist upon justice being done to the British creditors of Greece. The PariS Journals of Tuesday have all reached us. Their contents are of no political import ance. Some ..commercialists from the Isle of Bourbon having applied to the Government to establish a line of steamers between that island and Suez, which, by being connected with the line plying between Marseilles and Alexandria, would shorten the time of communication be tween the Isle of Bourbon. and France from four months to one month and five days, the Journal des Debuts has the.following remarks upon it : " In the proposed plan three steam-boats of 220 horse-power would be quite sufficient for a regular monthly service, which would cause an expense of about 2.000,000 f. for the first out lay. The yearly expense would be about 300,000 f., to defray which a considerable sum would be raised frOm passengers and Jotters. This plan is nothing more than the natural completion of the 13111 passed last year for establishing trans- atlantic packets. The Government ft that, from the mo ment England established a regular communication by means of magnificent steamers, France could not remain in the back ground without throwing into the hands of the English the whole of the French communication with the new continent. The Chpmber voted 32,0(.0,000f. for the transat lantic steamer:, and the delegates from Bourbon ask but for 2,000,000 f. to establish a regular service with the Arabian Gulf. It is evident that the 70,000,000 f. or 50,000,000 f. cf trade, which we carry on each year with Bourbon and India, must pais into other hands, if we continue to follow the long circuit of the Cape of Good lisps. The late events in the East show what importance the E'.glish attach to the route by Egypeto the Red Sea, and our political as well as commercial lute: ests demand that the French flan should be permanently dis played in the Red Sea. Ad rho nations cf Europe will find it proper to keep Egypt an open route, and a geo g raphi ca l posi tion so i m p ortant as S uez should remain the common resting place of all commercial bodies. These considerations induce us to sup. ort warmly the proposed plan, parttculai ly as the colony of Bourbon, in its own interest, wt.l feel itself obliged, should the Government not promptly accede to its request, to have recourse to English capitalists, and thus throw the communication between the colony and France into the hands of England. As to a private company undertaking the line as a speculation, we look on it as highly improbable. 'I he Government saw last year that it was with State money that the hue to America should be carried on, as sacrifices were to be incurred, which private speculators could not sustain. The same arguments prevail with respect to the proposed line to R.urbon." 'lnc change in the Turkish Cabinet gives um brage to the French Liberal Press, which now discovers that RESCHID PACHA was eminentb French in his feelings and habits. Had this dis covery been made sooner, it is probable that the Press, which so triumphantly upheld M. Turtus, would have borne aloft, in true Frank fashion, upon the shield of victory, the now disgraced Pacha. But it is ridiculous to tax Lord PON SONBY with the humiliation of the late chief of the Divan. Than Lord PONSONBY, RESCHID PACHA lead not a more strenuous supporter —a support which the late Reis Effendi well me rited by every part of his conduct, save and ex cept his implacable hostility to MEHEMET ALI. But now that he is disgraced, tbe very members of the Divan, who,, only a few days before his downfall, proposed that whenever he enter ed the Council the members should rise and reverently kiss the hem of his garment, are the first to cast dirt upon him He is de nounced by the men whom he loaded with honours, as au equivocator in politics, an athe ist in religion, and a foreigner in manners. The ulemas, or priests, are the deadliest enemies of the ex-Minister. They now accuse him of the horrid, impiety of having trifled with the ana thema or curse pronounced by them agains, MEHEMET ALI and his family—of having de nounced the doctrines of the Koran on the sub ject of marriages —of having promoted unbe lievers to posts in the army and navy—of employ ing foreign engineers to fortify the castles of the Dardanelles and the works on the Bospho rus, which, by the help of ALLAH, could be better done by true believers—and of havin g by the establishment of quarantines vio lated the precepts of the Koran respect ing predestination. It will be seen from this that the Bishop of EXETER, Dr. M'HALE, and the SHEIK-AL-ISLAM, are equal adepts at fixing upon the chiefs of Cabinets charges of atheism and impiety. Such charges form the bow and the spear of the ecclesiastical armoury in all countries. Two important operations are about to take place in every part of France, and the Prefects have received the most pre cise instructions to attend to them :-Ist. The Minister of Finance has ordered a general account to be taken of build ings, doors, and windows, as well as of the number of per sons paying rent and personal taxes. 2d. The Minister of the Interior, as Las been already mentioned by us, has ordered the general periodical census to be taken of the population of the whole kingdom. Monday, at two o'clock, the King, attended by the Inten dant-General of the Civil List, Generals de Rumigne and d'Houdetot, and Messrs. de Cailleux and Fontaine, left Paris for Fontainebleau. His Majesty stopped at Alfort to inspect the fort of Charenton, the excavations for the foundations of which are already well advanced. The King was received by Generals 1)ode de la Brunerie and Valliant. After surveying the whole, and laying the first stone of the facing of the scarp, his Majesty re entered his carriage, and continued his journey. The people of the neighbourhood, the workmen, and the soldiers of the engineers, repeatedly hailed the King with their acclamations. His Majesty ordered that I,ooof. should be distributed among the workmen. SUICIDE.—As a workman was crossing the Pont de la Con corde two mornings since, about five o'clock, he found on the parapet a letter or note, on which was placed a key, to keep it from being blown away, addressed to Mil e. Ferriere, the wife of a retired notary, with a direction so her to pay sf. to the person who might bring it to her with the key. He went to the address indicated, but the porter desired him to say where he lived, and the family would send for it. When Mme. Ferriere was dressed, the letter was sent for, and delivered. It was from M. Ferriere, announcing that he could not continue to bear the miseries of his life, and that when she received the letter, he would be no lo ng e r i n ex i stence . M. F err i ere, though still young., had long been suffering from a painful complaint, which had compelled him to give up his profes,ion. No doubt of his having made away with himself is entertained. He was in easy pecuniary circumstances, and much esteemed. —Gatignani. The Government has two official and avowed organs—the Messager and the Moniteur Universe!. How comes it that the last telegraphic despatches from Toulon, took the wrong way, and that it was from the Moniteur Parisian that we learn on the 16th the arrival of the Crocodile on the 14th at Tou lon, with the first news of the expedition to Medeah, and that to-day it is the Journal des Debats which informs us from another despatch that the expedition returned to Algiers on the 10th, after having had on its way back a serious engage ment with the Arabs. The Journal and letters brought by the Crocodile are no later than the 6th. When the steam- boat left the Moniteur Algerien had •not appeared, and nothing official had been published. There could therefore be no news cf the expedition which set out on the 30th of March, except from private communications, of the first operations, favoured by extremely fine weather, were per fectly successful, and the main body of- the expedition, which left Blidah on the 3d, must have arrived without obstscles at Medeah No recent news have been received at Algiers on the 6th, from O: an or Constantine ; but it was known at Toulon that the division of Oran had just received reinforcements to the amount of 6,000 men. The regiments which were already in that province have received numerous detachments to com plete their tull war establishments, and two fresh regiments have just been landed at Oran, so that the entire force of the division in that province is above 12,000 men. It seems certain that a strong column setting out from Oran, or Mostaganen, under the command of General Lansori ciere, or some say, of the Duke of Netnours, will ascend the vahey of the Cheiiff, and effect its junc+ion with that of the province of "Jittery, commanded by the Lieutenant-GeLeral in person liey , ,nd .Medeah.

For B.P. Sugar the detnarid was confined to the wants of the grocers, and prices were about Is. per cwt. lower than in the beginning of the week. Coffee firm, with a fair demand from the trade, especially in the clean sort; Rice very dull of sale, the purchases could not be made on easier terms. Pepper in partial demand at full prices. Saltpetre without alteration in price, but the demand dull, andholders seem more incl ned to realize. TEA MARKET. . _ Prices firm, with a fai;ce;;l: - iite nearest price of Com pany's Congou was Is. 5 3 / 4 d. per lb. cash, at which there were few sellers. The deliveries continue extensive, offering very great encouragement to the holders of the articlr., as no arrivals of moment can be expected fur some time to come. TALLOW MARKET. No change in the value of this article. Fine yellow Candle 48s. per cwt. on the spot, but the trade refused to purchase ex cept from actual necessity. The deliveries were small. WHITECHAPEL HAY MARKET. There was a fair supply, and the trade bought rather spar ingly ; but prices were unaltered. Clover, 41. 12s. to 51.

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, APRIL 21.—During the last few days we have noticed a tendency to advance the rates in many descriptions of Railway Stock, attributable, it is said, `o the absence of any immediate means for safer investment of capital.

We have received Barbadoes papers to the 11th March. We have received our exchange papers from Jamaica and St. Kitts, Dominica and St. Lucia, hut we get no news of importance from any of them. Ihe Jamaica papers mention an attempt to burn the town of Lucia, which was fortunately discovered. In the legislative proceedings of the St. Christopher House of Assembly. we read that a despatch from the Colonial Secretary of State to his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, announ ing the inte'ligence that the Act some time ago passed by the Legislature for enforcing the stipends of the clergy, was spe cially confirmed, and finally er.acted by her Majesty. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date. BOURSE or A AISTERDAM, Arun, 19.—The tendency of the nationalfunds continues favourable; the wise measures taken by the Minister of Finance have had a good effect, and confidence is daily gaining ground.

It is understood that the above islands are the only places that the President steam ship could make, in the event of her running to the south. The next Jamaica mail cannot bring any intel ligence of the President, as it comes direct for England. The British Funds are not quite so good as in the early part of the morning, owing to some money stock being brought to market, but not to any great extent. It is supposed that the high price of Consols has tempted persons to realise. Money is rather lighter in the house, from 24 to 3 per cent.
