William Michel was this morning placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with uttering counterfeit coin. (From a Supplement to Friday's Gazette.) WAR-DEPARTMENT, .Apßir. 14. From the evidence it appeared that shortly after twelve o'clock to-day the prisoner entered the shop of Mr, Steers, and asked for a concertina he had left to be repaired. Mrs. Steers gave him the instrument, ard told him the charge was eightpence. He gave her six pence and two penny pieces in payment, but she imme diately discovered that the sixpence was counterfeit. The privoner put tho sixpence in his mouth, and then tendered a good shilling, and said ho did not think the sixpence was a bad one, upon which Mr. Steers came into the shop and closed the door. The prisoner tried to leave the shop, to prevent which the prosecutor strug gled with him, and after the scuffle, a policenian having arrived, 43 sixpences and 20 shilling 4, all counterfeit, were found on the floor. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the followin, are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by Field-Mahal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, March", 1:855. My Lord,—Since I wrote to your lordship, on the 27th instant, the operations of the siege have been con tinued, without any material interruption from the enemy beyond occasional shots from guns and mortars, and the more constant firing of musketry from rifle-pits, which have occasioned, I regret to say, the c tsualties which your lordship will see in the returns I enclose. Captain A. E. Hill, of 'the 89th . Regiment, whom I mentioned in my despatch, No. 222, as baying been severely`wounded and taken prisoner, died, I regret to say, of his wounds before be reached the Russian amb•i lance, as I learnt last night from General Osten•Sacken, to whom I had written for information on the subject. He bad gone forward with a view to place the sentries in front of our advanced works, as I stated to your lord ship on Tuesday, and he, unfortunately, mistook a Rus sian for a French picquet, and, having challenged it in French, he was immediately fired upon, and brought to the ground. • Early yesterday ,morning a fire was observed in the town of Sebastopol, which raged with violence for a con siderable time, but bow it originated I have not been able to ascertain. _ _ The prisoner, in answer to questions from the magis trate, declined to give his address, but said he worked far Mr. Quantock, a boottnaker, in Hollis•street, Clare market, and the reason he was not at work that morn ing was that business was slack—he having finished his job last night. Mr. Henry ordered the gaoler to look at his hands, but there was not the slightest trace of boot or shoe making to be found, for which circumstance the pri soner accounted by saying that last night he washed his hands with soda. Mr. Henry—Since you decline to give your, address I must order the police to make inquiries about you, and try and find out your residence, for which purpose I shall remand you for a week. The enemy has made no movement on the side of the Tchernaya. The railway continues to" progress in the most satis factory manner, and last night had nearly reached the top of the hill, usually called the Col de Balakla,va, and advantage has been taken of it to bring up large corm titles of ammunition and stores.—l have, &0., RAGLAN. , _ Prisoner—But if I give my address ? Mr. Henry—Then the remand will be for a shorter period. The prisoner, after a deal of hesitation, during which the magistrate observed he took a long while to recollect where he lived, he said he residedfat 25, Charlton street, Somers-town.

MANMESTER, April 13.—That tendency to pause in the operations of business which was noticed in our last report becomes more apparent as the week advances. It is very perceptible that the amount of transactions is falling off. But buyers and sellers are now doing less mainly because they have already done so much. The spinners of water twist in all its ranges, and of some kinds of export mule yarn, bear themselves very inde pendently indeed towards those merchants who have orders to give out ; and contracts of any magnitude, if offered, could not be placed. India and China shirtings are also well engaged in their different classes. In print ing, ulut,ho, however, and borne other articles which, a few days ago, were showing signs of recovery from depres• sion, there is now a little wavering. .Longcloths and T cloths are as steady as could be expected in the absence of a Mediterranean demand. h n e o re be i t s te a r b d e is t p te o r si s t u io % to buy, except on the most limited scale. Th e l arge si p n r t il he l 2 m . a army contracts have tended to keep En g li s h woo l at the plyßoßfAparkßiDnd A —Wool—rrt present quotations. Yarns—The business prospects are more hopeful than they have been for a long time past. There is more inquiry for spool yarns, and reeled yarns are looking up. Pieces.—There are daily signs of im provement, and every reasonable expectation of more activity than we have known for some time past. There is a disposition to seek better prices than have been of late, and a prospect, we hope, of realising such. LEICESTER, April 1 2.—There is no improvement to notice in the home demand, and the few American or ders at present received affoid but a slight relief to the operatives. WOOLLEN TRADE. (From, the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, APRIL 13.—There was no material change in the state .of the woollen market last Saturday. In the Coloured Cloth•hall there was a rather easier feeling predominant, and less disposition to operate freely. The quantity of cloth that changed hands was rather less than on that day week. In the White Cloth-hall there was a better tone and a very fair busi ness was done. Both the markets were very flat on Tuesday, and the transactions were limited both in num ber and hulk, The Easter holidays were, no doubt, the principal cause. • A fair, steady trade has been done in the warehouses during the current week.• HUDDERSFIELD, April 10.---The Cloth Hall to-day was w fr a e s . almost unusually flat.

The _Neptune, 120, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cod)- , ra and 12 sail, forming the sque,iron charged w ith the honour of receiving and saluting the Emperor an d Empress of the French on their visit to England on M onday next, anchored in Dover Reads this morning. If the weather continues fine the fleet will probably re. m. Lin at its present anchorage: The unusual spectacle ati ;meted nuinbe:s of spectators to the piers and lan ling Pl acca, and much curiosity is manifested on the part of tb .e public to become acquainted with the programme of ti - ie great event. It is considered probable that his Royal B ighness Prince Albert, on learning the departure of the L Operial Cortege from Boulogne, will go out in the Black E agle or in the Vivid to meet it half way, returning in company to Dover, when a grand salute from the sk.ilas of war in the Roads a n d f rom the heights will ' , ye/ come its approach to the shores of Britain. Their :Ma jesties will afterwards land, and proceed to the Lord "Warden Hotel, where they will partake of a dejeuner, whi ah will be ready for them at 12 o'clock. 2 p.m. is the hole' officially named at, which the special train convey ing the august party to 'Windsor will leave Dover, but If the passage across the Channel be accomplished witirout delay it is probable that the hour will be earlier. The Lord Warden, from its close vicinity to the railway statiOan (being 'immediately opposite), will be particn larlp convenient to the Royal party. Private carmiages will; be dispensed with, as, after leaving the hotel, their Majesties will merely have ,to cross the road, a distance of a few yards only, and which will he lined on either side by a guard of honour. A • prmate entrance, leading into the station, will then conduct them to the train. The railway authorities are making every exertion for the accommodation of the .Emperor; Orders have been given for the interior of the station .to be decorated, and the public will be ad mitted to the platform by tickets, which will be distri buted to persons of respectability on application. The general manager and principal officers of the company will receive their Majesties, and will conduct them to the State carriage which has been prepared for them. Mr. Hakes, the proprietor of the Lord Warden, ap pears determined that no effort shall be wanting on his part to make the whole proceedings go off with the greatest possible éclat. Flagstaffs are being erected at the differei.t angles of the building, but at -the present early stage of the- preparations it is impossible to say what will be the general effect of the decorations. In the interior of the building the State apartments •and spacious coffee-room are being fitted up on a scale of unusual splendour. Every one appears to be doing his duty, excepting the town authorities. Ne prepara tions on their part have been even commenced,.and there is not the slightest sign of any being intended. It is difficult to account for this eatraoriinary neglect ; per haps their patiietiam as well as their purse was exhau.ted by the French demonstration which took place here some time back in aid of the Patriotic Fund, On that occasion the greatast possible fuFs was glade—the Town ball was decorated, ft igs and devices were exhibited on every conceivable and inconceivable spot, aad ail in honour of the French band and choristers f rom Calais and St. Omer. As might be expected, every train brings its pro portion of visitors, and by to-morrow hotel accom modation will become ditticult, and beds impracticable. The weather was extremely thick from an early hour, this morning, but it is now, 5 p.m., clearing up. The Archbishop of CAnterbury will arrive at Dover this evening, and will consecrate the new burial-ground on Copt-hill to-morrow (Saturday). His Grace will pro bably remain until alter the arrival of the Emperor. WINDSOR, FRIDAY. The activity and anxiety displayed at the Castle to complete the preparations for the reception of his Ina pedal Majesty the Emperor of the French and the Empress Eugdaie are unabated. Each of the rooms appropriated to the use of the illustrious visitors are inspected daily by her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who evince deep interest in the progress of the workmen. The room known as the Queen's Closet has been fitted up as the sleeping apartment of the Emperor. The de corations are of the most gorgeous description. :The cornices, ceilings, and mouldings have been newly gilt, and the doors and panels redecorated. The sofas, couches, chairs, and other furniture of the room are covered with green satin, the woodwork being all splen didly gilded. The state bed has just been completed, and is expected to arrive from London to-day. The design is most elegant-the curtains and hangings are of crimson velvet. The coverlet is composed of green satin, with the national emblems of the United King dom in the centre, most elaborately and beautifully em bossed in gold, and the borders similarly ornamented. The sleeping apartment of the Empress Eugenie, which is known as the CouncilCharuber, and adjoins the Queen's closet, has been decorated in an equally gorgeous style. The state bid has been re-decorated with green satin with crimson embroidery. The furniture is; like that of the Emperor's, green and gold. , The toilet is covered with rich sky-blue satin, and surmounted by Honiton lace of the best and most classical design. On the centre of the table is placed an ovallooking-glass, richly carved and festooned with Honiton lace. In the front is a cushion, formed of green satin, with the letter " E" embroidered in the centre. The apartments for the personal attendants upon the Emperor and Empress have also been splendidly fitted up. The whole of the rooms have been furnished with new carpets, and every appliance will be resorted to in order that the visit may be rendered as magnificent as it is undeniably welcome. One point it is necessary to refer to, although touch ing upon tender ground. The most attractive of the State apartments, it is well known is the " Waterloo Chamber," in which may be seen all the Sovereigns, warriors, and statesmen who contributed t owar d s th e establishment of what wag then considered a lasting peace, in the year 1815. There may be seen a full length and striking likeness of the late Alexander 1., Emperor of all the Russias, with Pius VII. by his side, and Prince Sohwartzenburg smiling upon them from the gallery above, precisely opposite to the stern features of the late Duke of Wellington. With a display of gene rosity and good taste which has always been the distin guishing trait of her Majesty's rule, this room is hence forth to be called the Picture Gallery, the name of " Waterloo " being erased from the conventional tradi tions of Windsor Castle, The largest triumphal arch, in Castle-street, is being erected by Mr. Titcomb, the enterprising builder of Clewer, under the gratuitous superintendence of Mr. Bedborougb, one of the borough magistrates. The de sign is one that will strike by its novelty, being almost entirely architectural. The ornamental portion of it consists of the national flag of the French, English, and Turkish empires, accompanied by the Imperial Crown and Eagle of France. There will be several appropriate mottoes, and the whole will be brilliantly illuminated with coloured lamps. The workmen have been engaged night and day, and last night a gallery was erected on the top of it sufficiently large to accommodate an orches tra of 200 musicians. • The triumphal arch at the entrance from the Great Western station, extending from the' hous e s o f M r . Layton and Mr. Lamb, is in the course of construction by Mr: Alderman Adam. The design is nut yet suffi ciently developed to give a satisfactory description. The preparations for the reception of the Emperor and Empress of the French, at Guildhall, will surpass whatever has been attained in that building upon any similar occasion. At the east end of the Hall will be erected an Imperial dais, or throne, the whole of the fittings by Messrs. Herring and Son, of Fleet-street, the City upholsterers. The dais and steps thereto will be covered with acarpeting of purple velvet, fringed with gold bullion, and sprinkled with gold bees. Upon this will be' placed two gorgeous chairs of state, in velvet and gold, the backs of each displaying the cypher N, encircled with a wreath of laurel beautifully embroidered in gold. Above n noble canopy, a l so o f purple velvet, decorated with golden bees and gold fringe lined with elegant silver tissue in reli e f. U pon t hi s da i s, or throne, th Emperor of the French, and Empress, will receive the civic ad dress prior to the Freedom being presented to his Ma jesty.
