Although the telegraph to Balaklava has been duly opened, and intelligence from the Crimea may now be received within a few hours, the country is still without information as to the pro gress of the siege, and the real state of affairs before Sebastopol. This is really inexcusable trifling. Enormous sacrifices have been made by all classes throughout the country to carry on the War vigorously and efficiently. Every pecuniary demand has been promptly and liberally complied with. Nor have we spared the blood of our brethren in the just and honourable cause in which we have embarked. Why, then, has information been withheld ? Why has Lord RAQLAN main tained a perverse silence, when the means of transmitting intelligence are so readily available ? We confess that we cannot understand this ominous taciturnity. It cannot, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, be supposed that "no news is good news." The worst interpretation may be given to the mystery, and what may really be ascribable only to the apathy and indif ference of the Commander-in-Chief may be pro ductive of very prejudicial consequences to the nation. It is now universally admitted that Peace must be conquered—that no satisfactory arrangement can be concluded until some great success has at tended the Allied arms in the Crimea. The sus picious and dilatory conduct of Austria proves that she is biding her time, and will not decidedly commit herself until unequivocal indication be. perceptible as to which is the winning side. Hitherto the proceedings at the Conferences and in the Crimea have mutually influenced each other. The General has been waiting for diplomatists—the diplomatists for the General. Lord RAGLAN has been almost as anxious to avoid injuring the town of Sebastopol (with the excep tion of the fortifications) as Admiral DUNDAS was to spare Odessa. He, perhaps, conceived that its existence might be considered as a make weight with Russia. A very probable supposition if he knew that its destruction would not be even demanded at Vienna. On the other hand, the Plenipotentiaries, by submitting to so many tedious delays by their polite request that Russia should assume the initiative as to the means by which effect would be given to the principle of the Third Point, clearly showed that they anticipated sole intelligence from the seat of War that would con firm Austria, an , lmake Russia anxious to enter into a treaty on the exceedingly easy terms tendered for her acceptance. Lord RAGLAN was the "Deus ex machina" who was to extricate Lord J. RUSSELL from his difficulties, while he, good easy man, hoped that the pending negotiations would termi nate his labours, and that he had only to do nothing in order to obtain the coveted step in the Peerage, accompanied by a pension for himself and his two immediate successors, or possibly the grant of an immediate sum of money, equivalent to a perpe tual pension, as it was generously intimated he would prefer so long ago as October last before the fire was even opened against Sebastopol. It was, in fact, a repetition of the old story, when " Lord Chatham, with his sword already drawn, Was waiting for Sir Richard Strahan ; Sir Richard, longing to be at 'em, Was waiting for the Earl of Chatham." We have seen the result. Between the two stools the interests of the nation haie fallen to the ground, and should it not retrieve its position it will continue, as it has partially become, laughing -stock of Europe." " a . These disastrous results may, in a great degre e, be a ttributed to th e eas i nes s of both Houses of r 0 raent last session and the readiness leave everything : rnment, h a nds of the GOTe previously been. althou gh afforded in the evidence had or tt de . d. of Ministerial incapacity and inefficiency. :true that the representa tives of the p eople their own dignity, and refused to be converted into political cyphers in all relating to th e point s t of the War. that the new One of the most essential telegraph should, when not re 's vernmeu t, be dedicated to the Pulal l.3y the Go that all persons should be allowed to avol.n ulsert,haelanici.. selves of the facilities thereby afforded, able terms, when i t is not ot herwise engaged. r eas on able it be not so, we shall only hear the most meag re and unintelligible accounts, doled out at long in tervals. Even the Legislature itself will, as heretofore, be compelled to receive all its valuable information from the graphic com munications of the correspondents of the public journals : - week after the facts have been Itiown- to th e gifind9 Oliciteti bef ore Government. The avidonoe Mr. Itorarcle3 Ccilguittea has shown how very easily the Cabinet Ministers are disposed to take matters, and unless energy be displayed somewhere we cannot feel surprised if the affairs of the nation should become seriously embarrassed. If the end of a private concern so managed could only be bankruptcy, what can be anticipated from the carelessness and inefficiency displayed in the direction of public business ? The Loan Bill and Customs Duties Bill have passed through Committee, almost without dis cussion. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Glasgow alone stood forward to record his earnest protest against the manner in which the Loan was contracted, and the retrograde policy adopted by the Government in imposing additional duties on such articles as tea, coffee, and sugar. Mr. MAC GREGOR justly complained of the apathy and indif ference displayed on subjects of such vast impor tance. A few members, barely sufficient to keep up a House and to prevent another " count-out" ' listened with impatience to the objections against the additional taxation, that would be felt most grievously in every cottage throughout the United Kingdom, and which would note only ma terially derange the operations of commercial men, but would extract much larger amounts from the pockets of the people than would ever arrive at the National Exchequer. It is certainly very unjust and unfair to the mercantile community to introduce changes in the tariff 'on trivial or inadequate grounds, more especially when questions have, after full discussion, been decided by Parliament, and merchants enter into large speculations on the faith of the permanency of such arrangements. There are elements in such calculations, and points to be considered not merely relating to the incidence of taxation. Even if it should be decided that the comforts, we might almost say the very necessaries, of the labouring classes, should be subjected to additional burdens, we should, at all events, 'act honestly towards those embarked in the trade, and not in any way likely to occasion loss to these on whose energy and enterprise we are dependent for the requisite supplies of these very important matters. Nor should, as far as practicable, any advantage be given to one man, or body of men, that would enable him or them to undersell their competitors in trade. Now, it is notorious that the intention to increase the existing duties, however strictly concealed, invariably ooze out in some mysterious manner, by which the few are bene fitted at the expense of the many. There was no exception to the general rule on the present occa sion, and some dealers—who displayed a species of fiscal clairvoyance, discerning the heavier charges " looming in the future"—paid the lower rate of duty on large quantities of tea. We do not wish to be understood as charging that there has been undue favouritism, or a distinct and in telligible intimation given to the Minister him self. It is sufficient for the purposes of our argument to show that the mystery in some instances is dispelled, and that, therefore, the better-informed dealers are enabled to obtain great advantages over their less-favoured brethren. There is another strong and almost insuperable objection to such a change. The charge to the public is increased from the moment of its an nouncement. The dealers receive the higher rate of duty on the stocks in their hands, as well as on what they may subsequently purchase, and the consumer must pay, although not a , penny of the amount becomes available for public purposes ! This is the strongest argument that can be urged against any impost. The chief aim of a Financial Minister should be to get the largest amount of that which is extracted from the pockets of the people, and not, if possible, to let any stick to the fingers of the middlemen. The change is open to the same objection in another way. We must recollect that the great body of the working-classes purchase all articles of consumption in small quantities, barely suffi cient for their immediate wants. The over-toiled sempstress while making shirts at a penny or five farthings each, cannot afford to get her tea by the pound or half pound. She is but too happy if she is enabled to procure the neces sary supply for the day, buying an ounce or even half an ounce of tea, or a quarter, possibly half a quarter, of a pound of sugar. Now, to such per sona the additional duty of 3d. per pound on tea, or 3s. per cwt. on sugar, practically amounts to nearly three times the amount payable at the Customs. It may be .considered as at least a halfpenny additional in the ounce (or Bd. per lb.) of tea, and a penny per lb. (or 9s. 4d. per cwt.) on sugar. How, then, can such additions be justified. The sufferings or burdens of the poorer classes may be beneath the notice of our magnanimous Chancellor of the Exche quer. As they are without the elective franchise honourable gentlemen may slight their com plaint; but they will still be heard, and justice loving Englishmen will not disregard the mur muring of the poor and lowly—albeit, they may be nothing but political cyphers in the estimation of the " waiters on PROVIDENCE," hankering after the crumbs of patronage that occasionally fall from the Ministerial table. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary of Cambridge, attended by Lady Charlotte Suffield, Mrs. Home Purves, Major Home Purvey, and Colonel Stephens, honoured the Society of Painters in Water Colours with a visit, yesterday, p re . vious to its being opened to the public. On Mond a y last, before leaving Vienna, Lord John Russell p Aid a final visit to Prince Metternich. It is 'expected that before the end of the summer the electr4.e communication between Marseilles and Algeria will 'oe complete. fin Wednesday steam-boats will commence running rime times a week, in connection with the Eastern Counties Railway, from Antwerp to Harwich. The Mayor of Manchester and the - heads of the com mercial bodies have received replies to the addresses with which they last week greeted the Emperor of the French. There is no truth whatever in the reported death of his Grace the Duke of Marlborough. The new building connected with the Asylum for Idiots, which Prince Albert has kindly consented to open this summer, is at Earlswood, Redhill, Surrey. There is in the neighbourhood an agricultural school of discipline for boys, which was opened by Prince Albert in 1849. The Exhibition of Art Contributions to the Patriotic Fund, which will close this evening, at 121, Pall-mall, is to be re-opened, on Thursday next, at Burlington house, Piccadilly. When Mr. Berkeley's motion for the ballot is made, Major Reed intends to move as an amendment that the proposed bill be a merely permissive one. D. Mitchell Davidson and Coamo NV. Gordon, charged with a breach of the Bankruptcy laws, were further ex amined yesterday at Guildhall, and again remanded. The Caledonian Mercury appeals to the humane on behalf of a poor woman, of the name of Rice, who has just been confined of her sixth pair of twins. She has had, besides, eight single children, making twenty in all, of whom she has at present thirteen alive. The eldest of the family is only eighteen years of age! ihacuiaeni AUSTRALIAN' ARRIVALS.—FALMOCTII, FRIDAY.—The Rhips Virniera, Captain Neathy, and Lady Ann, Captain Maxtor), both from Sydney, were off this morning, and i A piece of news received at Turin, from Constanti , nw, h _ Lo ,as made 1., great sensation. eneral de Cavero, , .'" . 1 ' 24 been appointed intcadant of the Piedmontese eTthngent ha.s re!imned.

WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) We have observed no change of any moment in the state of the woollen market during the current week. In the Cloth-halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, there was a fair attendance of merchants, and a steady, but not a brisk, business was done—something equal to a present average. The trade in the warehouses has been rather quiet during this week ; it has been steady, but, we believe, most of the merchants have done less business than they did during the two or three preceding weeks. In fact, buyers were rather scarce during the early part of the week ; a few have made their appearance within the last day or two, but they operate very cau tiously, and their purchases are mostly confined to immediate requirements. The London buyers report favourably of the state of the London market ; they state that they are doing a better trade, and hope to do a good steady business during the next month. HUDDERSFIELD, April 24.—The market of to-day was but too quiescent, especially in the Cloth-hall. Some few houses, however, could reckon on having had a good day. There was a moderate attendance of buyers, but their patterns were very select, and only purchased in small quantities. Pt ices continue nearly stationary. ROCHDALE, April 23.—We have had a more steady business doing to-day in pieces, and the merchants have evinced a greater disposition to purchase. There is a fair demand for wool, and prices may be quoted a little firmer. HALIFAX, April 21.—There continues a fair business doing in the worsted trade, all circumstances con sidered, and prices fully as firm. In the wool market there have been some extensive sales this week, at rather better prices for certain kinds of combing fleeces, which very lately were showing a temporary inclination to give way a little. Wethers appear to have recovered 141. to 124 d. again. Short wools are a little better, and noils fully as dear. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURD:AYAEVENING, APRIL 28, 1855 STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, April 27.—Our market is in a some what curious position at the present moment. Buyers have been expecting that, as soon as the want of a renewal of contracts should begin to press upon spin ners and manufacturers, they would gradually modify their quotations, until prices should subside to the level at which they stood before the late rise, and that then operations might be recommenced with ad vantage, and the bulk of the production be engaged for some time forward. The position of the great eastern question, the serious addition to be made to our public burdens, and the tendency to an increased dearness of food, have added to the expectation that a retrograde movement must now take place in the way just indicated. NOTTINGHAM, April 26.—There is little improvement in the condition of the lace trade, with the prospect of its being permanent during the summer. There is aIE• a better demand for hosiery goods generally. LEICESTER, April 26.—The American orders at pre sent received are upon the most limited scale, and we fear will continue so. BRADFORD, April 26.—W00l : There is a somewhat better supply of wool in the market, and the wants of the spinners are comparatively limited. Noils and brokes are in good request, and the price well supported. Yarns : The increased activity among the buyers for Lancashire, and the demand for home con sumption, have given a better tone for spool yarns. Pieces : The unsatisfactory accounts in political matters appear to have had a rather depressing influence, and the business done during the week is lessened in conse quence, A NEW PEERAGE.—The Cork Constitution mentions the existence of a general rumour to the effect that a new peerage had bees created in the person of Sir Den ham Norreys. This, if true, would create a vacancy in the representation of the borough ct Mallow, for which, it is added, Mr. W. D. Norreys, eldest son of Sir Den ham, and Lord Ennismore are spoken of as candidates. Sir D. Norreys was also a strenuous opponent of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, April 27.—The only busi ness reported this week is about 200 casks of new Bar badoes, on which the importers have obtained a consider able proportion of the increased rate of duty. `f he mar ket has been very unsettled, and will probably continue to be so for some little time ; and it is expected that at least two-thirds of the increase will eventually he paid by the importer. Refiners' produce has advanced 2s. to 3s. per cwt,, but the sales are not large at this improve ment. Of rum the market is very bare of samples. BOILER ExrLosiorr.—On Wednesday evening a boiler explosion occurred at the factory of Messrs. Pilkinton, domestic manufacturers, at Crawsbaw Booth, Lanca shire. The force of the explosion threw down a parti tion wall between the boiler-house and a blacksmith's chop, and five persons were killed on the instant and another died afterwards of the injuries received. They were mostly scalded to death. The engine -tenter, who was badly scalded, is not expected to recover. The report on the Orphan Working School, Haver stock-hill, presented at the annual meeting yesterday, is a cheerful and cheering document. it tells of the good health, good conduct, and good mental progress of the children, of whom there are about 270. The account., which are open to all subscribers, show that last year the managers expended 6.775/., being 7111. more than the income. The society is well supported by people accustomed to keep an eye on the charities they aid, but subscribers are still needed to replace those removed by death or ()Our causes. EXCHEQUER-BONDS; 1854.—An account of the appli cation of moneys received on account of 6,000,000/. Exchequer-bonds issued by the act of the 17th of Vict., chap. 23, shows that 591,1001. Exchequer-bills, (un funded debt) were cancelled in pursuance of the provi sions of the 14th clause of the act of the 17th of Vic toria, chap. 23 ; and 5,375,5131., applied to supply ser vices as under viz. :—To the army, 1,119,0001. ; to the navy, 2,955,6951. ; to the Ordnance, 775,6521. ; to the vote of credit (war with Russia), 220,000/. ; and to mis cell:snenus civil services, 305,1651. SEIZURE OF TWO FOREIGN SHIPS.—By order of the Ccmmissioners of Customs, two vessels, lying in the West India Docks, have been seized, on suspicion of being Russians. One is the brig Caroline, 180 tons, Kraeft, under Prussian flag, and cleared out for Konigs berg on the 11th inst. The Customs' officers aver that she is the property of a merchant at St. Petersburg. The other ship is the koff Phcenix, of 141 tons, Bolwin, under Hanoverian flag, arrived from Memel with a cargo of hemp. She is alleged by the Customs' officers to belong to Riga. Both vessels await the decision of the Court of Admiralty.—Shipping Gazette. The Earl of Carlisle attended the banquet of the Lord Mayor of Dublin on Thursday evening, and in the course of his remarks said he knew from the most au thentic sources that at the present period the peace of the island is hardly anywhere seriously disturbed—that crime has sensibly diminished—that agriculture is under going systematic and scientific enlargement—that wages are higher, and that there is rather an under than an over supply of candidates for employinent—that the task of the ministers of justice is materially diminished, and that schools for instruction and temples for the Divine worship are multiplied, and that the services of those who minister within them are sedulously and reverently attended to. Some of the gentlemen who have been engaged in dis tributing the goods sent out by the "Crimean Fund CJrnmittee" have returned to London, and have made a report of their proceeding.. "The goods," writes Mr. Denison, M.P., to one of the contributors, "all arrived in safety ; arrangements were made by which a fair and equal distribution among all the regiments was effected. The stores of all kinds were of great service to the troops. The hams were thought excellent, and there was an eager run made upon the cheeses. The superior officers said the moral effect produced upon the army by the kind sympathy of their friends in England was very great and gracious." CHlNA.—According to telegraphic advices from China which reach to the 15th of March, the rate of exchange at Shanghai had experienced a decline of 2d., the quota tion be;ng 6s. sd. At Canton it remained at 4s. Sid. The exports of tea to date had reached 64,500,0001 b., and of silk 40,800 bales. The Imperialists had regained possession of the city of Shanghai, and at Canton they had also gained some successes, the rebels in that neigh bourhood having been partially dispersed. THE GREEKS AT SEBASTOPOL.—The French and Eng lish reports of the night sorties of March last, made fre quent mention of warriors in Greek costume fighting on the Russian side. The leader of those men, who form a free corps, is Aristides Christoveri, a, native of Messem brie, on the Black Sea coast. When a boy he was taken to Odessa and educated at the commercial school there. When a young man he forsook commercial pursuits to take part in the war of Greek independence, and from that time served in Greece until 1854. Last summer, when it became plain that the Allies would not allow Greece to be made the basis of clandestine operations against Turkey, Christoveri with many other Greeks made for Bessarabia. He was decorated by the late Czar with the order of St. Anne. LONDON REFORMATORY FOR ADULT MALE CRIMINALS. —The annual meeting of this institution was held on Thursday evening in St. Martin's Hall ; the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. The noble chairman, in open ing the proceedings, expressed his disappointment that a greater number of reformatory institutions had not been established. Every day revealed to him more and more the great desire of criminals to avail themselves of means of reformation, and it was only recently that a man had walked from Wakefield, in Yorkshire, on pur pose to obtain admission to the London Reformatory. Notwithstanding the great success which had attended the labours of the institution, 3,000 applicants had been refused during the past year from want of funds. The meeting was addressed oy Lord Henry Cholmondeley, Alderman Wire, Mr. E. Ball, M.P., Mr. Barnes, M.P., and other gentlemen. AN INTERESTING MARRIAGE.—A singular marriage was celebrated on Wednesday in the chapel of the Hotel des invalids, that of a Zouave, who lost both feet and both bands in the siege of Sebastopol, with a young woman of some property. The couple, it seems, were engaged to be married before the Zouave left for Sebas topol ; and when he came back, so frightfully but so gloriously mutilated, his betrothed generously declared that she would keep her word. The marriage was at tended by the Governor of the Hotel and his staff, and by all the invalids. The Emperor and Prince Jerome caused themselves to be represented by aides-de-camp, and the Empress by a Lady of Honour. After the cere mony, the cross of the Legion of Honour was presented to the hero i n t h e name o f t h e Emperor, and a valua b le present to th e b r id e i n t h e n ame of the Empress. The Zouave besides, been admitted into the Hotel-deslnvalidem, -.—Gc/tlrta tt i. and promoted, to tits ran 4 of sulAiquter.:at. CO WES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-April 27. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Lord Godolphin has sold his schooner yacht Coquette to Edmund Yates Peel, Esq. The annual general meeting of the mem'bers of the Royal Yacht Squadron takes place on the 11th of May. G. Tudor, Esq., arrived at East Cowes Castle on Tuesday last. - Hopkins, Esq., has taken Oakfield Lodge for twelve months. F. P. De!me Radcliffe, Esq., has taken Sir John S. lleppesley's house on the Parade, a West Cowes, for four months. The esplanade constructing along the beach between Earl de Grey's villa and Egypt will greatly improve the neighbourhood, and be a very attractive place of resort to our yachtsmen and fashionable visitors. THE MILL HILL ESTATE.—The National Freehold Land Society last week offered a third and last portion of this estate for sale, in 153 lots, 114 of which were taken, of the value of about 4,0001. The land is beau tifully situated for building purposes. The society building two model villas, of the value of 1,0001., a de scription of house much required. The roads are some of the best in the island, and generally admired. • 1 44 , 4, . • SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. TATTERSALL'S. (THIS EVENING.)

AFFAIR OF MLLE. DOUDET. The Court of Correctional Appeal at the open ing of its sitting yesterday delivered its judgment. The appeal aminima of therublic prosecutor, found ed on the fact that the former judges had neglected to attribute to the facts imputed to the prisoner the character of premeditation, was admitted. As this circumstance allowed of the sentence being raised from two to five years' imprisonment, the latter term was pronounced by the court. RUSSIA. Private letters received at Berlin, on the 23d, from St. Petersburg, state that the appearance of that city denotes the activity displayed for the energetic, continuance of the war. The Czar devotes his whole time and attention to the mi litary preparations that are going on. Prince Dolgorouky and General Rostowzow are daily sent for several times by the Emperor. Count Rudiger is also often seen hurrying to the Win ter Palace. The towns and villages around swarm s with soldiers of the militia, clothed i n th e i r half military dresses. On their caps they wear a cross, underneath are the words, in Russian, " For Religion and the Czar." LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

REPRESENTATION OF CLARE.—It wag currently re ported on Thursday in Dublin that a vacancy is expected to take place in the representation of the county of Clare, by the appointment of Sir John Fitzgerald to employ on the staff. The gallant General's exertions towards the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act will probably not be forgotten by his Roman Catholic con stituents. James Blytb, John Lodge, and Lawrence Evans, who, it will be remembered, were last week charged at the Mansion-house with distributin; bills " calculated to excite to a breach of the peace," when the French Emperor ♦isited the Oity, were yesterday discharged, upon entering into their own recognicances to keep the peace. Some of the published reports connect the pro ceedings of the prisoners with foreign democratic in fluence, but this suggestion appears to have been un• founded. SUICIDE OF A RESPEeTABLE MARRIED FEMALE FROM WATERLOO-BRlDGE.—Yesterday afternoon, information was forwarded to Mr. Charles Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, of the determined suicide of Mrs. Harriett Laws, aged 25 years, who was staying at the Black Lion Hotel, Whitefriars. It appears that the deceased got upon the parapet of Waterloo-bridge, and jumped off into the centre of the River Thames. Boats and drags were instantly put into request, and the unfortu nate female was taken out in a state of insensibility, and removed to Charing-cross Hospital, where Mr.Muirhead, house surgeon, after very great exertion, succeeded in restoring animation ; but the deceased gradually sank and expired. No cause is assigned for the rash act. Yesterday, the whole of the collection, vans, wild beast cages, and other effects, part of the once celebrated Woombwell's Menagerie, and lately known as George Woombwell's Show, was sold by auction, and fetched a mere son g . The sale took place at the Nova Scotia Gardens, Hackney, where last exhibited. The vans, five in number, nearly new and in good order, and the stage van, fetched from 77. to 107. each—not the original cost of the springs. The beasts were—a jaguar, a leopard and leopardess, a nylghau, a hyena, a jackal!, six mon keys, an alpine wolf, a racoon, baboon, civet cat, some birds, a Russian bear, two beautiful Esquimaux dogs ; and with the tilts, paintings, harness, and paraphernalia, did not realise 2007. The beasts, which were in very fine condition, scarcely found bidders. Bruin fetched 37. 15s. The monkeys, which were choice sorts, from ss. to 103., and the two Esquimaux dogs, 6e. and 4s. each. MEDICAL OFFICERS FOR THE TURKISH CONTINGENT. —Dr. Mg : then-on, Inspector-General of the above force, has come to Edinburgh to distribute a portion of the very extensive patronage vested in him to the school of medicine here. A f e w days since the terms of agreement granted by Government were made public in the college by Professor Miller, and on Friday last the Inspector. General addressed the students and members in the professor's claw-room. He offered, on the part of Government, to take into immediate service, surgeons, assistant-surgeons, and dressers, on the pay respectively of 255., 155., and 10s. rid. a day ; a free passage out and home, lodgings or lodging money, free rations, pensions for wounds, and many other advantages. He explained the nature of the force they were invited to join ; and, referring to the very liberal terms offered by Govern. went, pointed out the vast opportunities young men accepting service would have of acquiring a practical knowledge of their profession, and the jclat that would be attached to their names during the rest of their career, from having been engaged in a ser vice which must add much to their professional experi ence and reputation. The class of men required are surgeons of some years' standing, and about 30 years of age ; assistant-surgeons who have just got their diplo mas ; and dressers, young men in their second and third yeare course of studies. The call. was most liberally re sponded to, and was r ece i ve d with nauc:h acclaraatioa. ...Ocedmigeit Afv.cury, ON EY kA RKET AND ()MMIF i l CI2II, rNT CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday ruled firm for all descriptions. Uplands realised 5,1 d., Mobile 51d., and Orleans 6d. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. Railway shares opened with a heavy appearance, but became firmer sub sequently. The financial accounts of the Bank of England during the week to last Saturday were of a nature to show that the demand for money had again fallen off, the other securities being again lessened, and the total of the precious meta:s was increased. The . public deposits were augmented by the pay ment of the loan deposit, and this occasioned a re duction in the sum to the credit of private cus tomers. The Bank appears either to have increased its holding of stock or Exchequer Bills, or other wise to have made advances thereon. Compared with the previous week, thechanges were as follows: Active circulation... £20,282,865 Decrease 100,965 Bullion Increase Rest In crease Public Deposits In crease Other Deposits Decrease 32,848 3,127.862 4.416 4.450 684 1,730.024 13,019,567 1,214,229 Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities In crease Other Securities Decrease..

Sir Henry Parnell, the greatest financial reformer of his day, unsparingly condemned the system of restricting public loans to a single contractor, and says— " ' The consequence of this course of proceeding has necessarily been that one individual, or one banking or mercantile firm, has become the representative of a body of subscribers, willing to take the loan on certain condi tions arranged amongst themselves, but the individuals making the offers have had not only the interests of the subscribers to their lists to attend to, but their own special interests as contractors. These have sprung up from their subscribing large sums, with, however, no intention of paying them, but wholly with a view of making a profit., by selling their new stock immediately after they have declared to have got the loan. ' "It is time for the country to decide whether the basis of contracting loans should be confined to its pre sent narrow limits, or be thrown open to public compe tition. We final assured that it is only by adopting the latter course that we can ever reform the principle of borrowing money. Why, we would ask, should not the mode of borrowing by the public be reduced to the sim plicity, of a merchant borrowing from his bankers. As a correspondent, whose letter we publ,sh in another place, has remarked, why should not the Government, whose credit never was impaired, have the full value for its bond ? Does a railway, (1r any other public com pany, issue debentures for 5001., and agree to repay 750/., or any other sum above the expressed amount ? Specula tors may talk about the advantage of this or that (eseription of security, but the only sound principle upon which a nation can borrow, is that practised in daily life, and sanctioned by justice nnd cJmmon sense ; and, if the nation would secure itself from the ultimate consequences of increasing our huge debt, it mus'; boldly repudiate every other." Yesterday afternoon the quotations for bills of exchange, drawn here upon the principal Conti nental cities, were scarcely so high. Paris, 90 days, 25 45 to 471; Hamburgh, 13 8/ to Eq. ; and Trieste, 12 45 to 50. The exports of the precious metals direct from London during the week to Thursday last were 334,498 ounces of silver, and 860 of gold, all to the Continent. The ship Vimeira, from Sydney, brings advices only of January 10, and has, it is stated, but 178 ounces, and 5001. in o•old. The Lady Ann, which left January 17, is also off Falmouth. The English Stock Market has been rather firmer after the very perceptible heaviness of yesterday afternoon, induced by the sale of 500,0001. of the new loan by the Commercial Bank of Scotland, which had an allotment to that amount, and the rise in flour. The rumour of Lord Panmure's resignation also had an effect, though not confirmed. Consols have been 88"4. to 89k both for transfer and account. The New 3 per Cents. have realised 88k to 881, and the Reduced 87g- to 871. Exchequer Bills hive been 4s. to 78., and ludi Bonds 12s. premium. The New Annuity is steady at 16 3-16ths. Nothing has been done in the Omnium, which closed last evening at k to I. In foreign Stocks there is scarcely any change. The Turkish Bonds have been 731 to 73. Rus sian 5 per Cents. have been dealt in at 98. Sar dinian are firm at 86!, Brazilian Small have been quoted 9312. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 6,i; Mexi can, 201 to 20i ; Peruvian, 68 to 70; ditto Three per Cents., 47 to 49 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 11 to 43 ; tlussian Five per Cents., 98 to 100; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 to 90; Spanish New Deferred, 177 4 - to 184; ditto Three per Cents., 36 to 361 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 5k ; ditto Passive, 34 to 41. This being " name" day in the Railway Share Market, the business has been almost entirely for the purpose of settling accounts, and prices are generally about the same for the English lines. The East Indian and Scinde shares are in demand at full rates, to a slight advance. The traffic on the Calcutta line, partly open, is stated to exceed expectation. The Foreign and Colonial Mines are dull, as well as the banks, and the Crystal Palace are lower. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES ( Prom the Onicial Li.c. ; Ruginesq done 3 per Cent.

Without any material change in prices there has been a more active business in shares this week, and a greater disposition on the part of the public to purchase in good dividend concerns, as well as in many progressive mines, which offer fair prospects of success. We rather con fidently expect a better state of things before long in the mining market, when it shall have been still further weeded of hopeless concerns, and consequently freer from the calls which have for the last twelve inoaths hung like a continuous nightmare upon it. So soon, even now, as any decidedimprovement takes place in a mine, there is no lack of buyers at good prices, and copper mines are the favourites, the price of this metal keeping up better than any other ; and, if the weekly samplings continue to decrease as they have of late, still higher prices for the ores must result. Lead, although a trifle .better, is still so low that we understand many of the Flintshire and other mines will be stopped, the high royalties paid (being the same whatever the price of lead) rendering it impossible for them to be worked to a profit. MINES WHICH HAVE SOLD ORE.—Boiling Well, Boa cean, Brynford Hall, Budnick Consols, Bwich, Cae- Gynon, Calstock Consols, Camborne Consols, Carnyorth, Carvannall, Clijah and Wentworth, Craddock Moor, Dyfngwm, Eaglebrook, East Tamar, East Wheal Rose, East Wheal.

The Gold Mining Share Market continues neglected. In Miscellaneous Shares the market has been quiet, and the fluctuations very trifling. FREE-LABOUR BAZAAR. —The mo=t direct and practi cal way to discourage slavery is certainly to promote, by every available means, the substitution of free grown for slave-grown produce. The bulwark of Ame rican slavery may be said to be its cotton trade with England ; yet we are told by experienced men that our East and West Indian colonies could supply every bale of cotton required by the British market, if a proper impetus were given to its cultivation there. This anti slavery agitation has been set on foot, and many fabrice of free-labour cotton are now coming into the market for consumption. To promote the movement a grand bazaar and sale of useful and ornamental work is to be held in the City, _ _ at th e Hall of Commerce, on the 30th and 31st orlia , y: One stall will be devoted 'entirely to tho display of free-labarg cotton goods.
