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 I Why has Lord RAGLAN 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 some intelligence from the seat of War that would con firm Austria, aadma.keßusaia anxious to enter into a treaty on the exceedingly easy terms tendered for her acceptance. Lord RAGLAN was he "Deus ex machin a " 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, _ tehhe H apr e l r orit ß etee o e y ese a u l Highness the Duchess of Cambridge ar.d Suffield, d y Cambrid ge, H ruvres, attended by Lady accompanied by a pension for himself and his two Purves, and Colonel Stephens , m immediate successors, or possibly the grant of anajSoorcilletoymoef P vi a o i u n m te t r o s in Water Colours with a visit, y i e hl‘ s ie terday, pre immediate sum of money, equivalent to a perpe- i ts being opened to the public. tual pension, as it was g enerously intimated be On Monday last, befo re l eav i ng Vienna, Lord John Itussell paid a final visit to Prince Mette • It is expected that before the en d o f th er ate andb. summer AAlgeria e th e ri would prefer so long a g o as October last before the fire was even opene d a g ainst Sebastopol.

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. M-tc- 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 not 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 gramnds, more especially when questions have, after full discussion, been decided by P.trliament, 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 re I ating to the incidence of taption. 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 en:Lbarked in the trade, and not in any way ely to occasion loss to those 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 bL! given to one man, or body of men, that would et :able 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 fit ted at the expense, of the many. There was no e t.ception to the general rule on the present occa si..on, and some dealers—who displayed a species 0 - 1 fiscal clairvoyance, discerning the heavier cllarges " looming in the future"—paid the lower r !.t.e 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 t ;11igible intimation given to the Minister him s e If. It is sufficient for the purposes of our argument to show that the mystery in some i ustances 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 abjection to such a change. The charge to the )üblic is increased from the moment of its an louncement. The dealers receive the higher rate )f duty on the stocks in their hands, as well as on chat they may subsequently purchase, and the :onsumer must pay, although not a penny of the tmount becomes available for public purposes ! 'Phis 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 )eople, and not, if possible, to let any stick to the :angers 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 hip a quarter, of a pound of sugar. Nov, to such per sons 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 plaints, but they will still be heard, and justice loving Englishmen AV ill not disregard the mur inuring of the poor and lowly—albeit, they may be nothing but political cyphers in the estimation of the " waiters on PIOVIDENCE," hankering after the crumbs of patronage that occasionally fall from the Ministerial table. WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.) We Lave 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 daring 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. Prices continue nearly stationary. ROCHDALE, April 23.—We have bad 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 latt ly were showing a temporary inclination to give way a little. Wethers appear to have recovered 12d. to 124 d. again. Short wools are a little better, and noils fully as dear. 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 also 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 : Ther• is a somewhat better supply of wool in the market, and the wants of the spiuntr3 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 ,umption, 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 been 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 Ennistnore 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. "Ilie 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 be 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 EXPLOSION.—On Wednesday evening a boiler explosion occurred at the factory of Messrs. Pilkington, domestic manufacturers, at Crawshaw Booth, Lanca shire. The force of the explosion threw down a parti tion wall between the boiler-house and a blacksmith's shop, 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 accounts, which are open to all subscribers, sho'w that last year the managers expended 6,7751., 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 other causes. EXCHEQUER-BONDS, 1854.—An account of the appli cation of moneys received on account of 6,000,0001. Exchequer-bonds issued by the act of the 17th of Viet., 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, 1,119,000/, ; to the navy, 2,955,6951. ; to the Ordnance, 775,6521. ; to the vote of credit (war with Russia), 220,000/. ; and to mis cellaneous civil services, 305,1651. SEIZURE OF Two FOREIGN SHIPS.—By order of the Commissioners 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 employment —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 Committee" have returned to London, and have made a report of their proceedings. " 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 being 6s. sd. At Canton it remained at 4s. Bid. 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 brig, on the Black Sea coast. When a boy he was taken to Odessa and educated at the commercial school tht re. When a young man he forsook commercial pursuits to take part in the war of Greek independence, and from that time served in G reece unt i l 1854. Last summer, w of ith cla m n a d n es y tin o against Greece t T o b r e k e y m , a d e e h r t i h s e t o b v a e s r i i s when it became plain th a t th e Alli es would not allow e the o r pe u ra r t e i e o k n s s made for Bessarabia.

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 hands in the siege of Sebastopol, with a young woman of some property.

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 is building two model villas, of the valu e o f 1,0001., a de scription of house much required. The roads are some of the best in the island, and generally admired. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- MITTEE. ( Continued from, our first impression of yesterday.) Captain Milne afterwards proceeded to state that in all cases the embarkation of troops was superintended by Admiralty agents. A great difficulty was experienced in getting vessels for the conveyance of horses. The, first difficulty experienced was in the case o f th e artil lery. He did not deem it advisable to separate the horses from the guns and the men by sending them in different vessels ; so he devised a plan by which every vessel that went out with artillery, was complete in it• self, and contained a united effective force of men, horses, and guns. The horses were all shipped under proper superintendence ; and the vessels were fitted out pre viously for their reception, on the Government plan. With regard to the Hull plan of shipping horses he thought it might do very well for short voyages, but it would not answer for a long and rather rough voyage like that to Constantinople. With respect to the casual ties that had occurred in the conveyance of horses, con sidering the number of horses sent out from time to time, the accidents were exceedingly few—indeed they were less than had been:thelcase in any corresponding number of horses ever sent out previously. With regard to the shipping of Ordnance stores, when the Ordnance in formed him that a certain quantity of stores were ready to be sent on board, they were informed by him to what ship they had been apportioned, and the stores were then loaded under the superintendence of the Ordnance shipper. So far as he was concerned heknew of no pressing request having been forwarded to expedite the sending out of medical stores, and they were unless marked " urgent" sent out in sailing vessels in the ordinary* way. If so marked they were sent by steam. Admiral Boxer bad the management of the transport service at Constanti nople, and he bad heard no complaints respecting the manner in which he performed his duties. He believed, however, that Admiral Boxer was removed to Balaklava on the ground that his conduct had not been very satis factory. By the Chairman—Complaints respecting Admiral Boxer could not have been made to the Admiralty without his knowledge, but they might have been made privately to the First Lord of the Admiralty. By Mr. Layard—He had never received any corn• plaints respecting Captain Christie. Admiral Boxer had never written home stating that he had not sufficient transport vessels at his command to meet the wants of the commissariat. If a requisition had been made by Commissary-General Filder to Lord Hardinge, to the effect that he required a certain number of transports for the conveyance of baggage animals, the Commander in-Chief would have applied to the Admiralty, and any number of vessels might have been placed at the disposal of Admiral Boxer. He was never informed that a supply of coal was wanting at Constantinople. The supply was kept up there from Malta. He did not think it right that a vessel like the Sanspareil should have been in want of coal, but he thought about that time great demands evera made upon the coal depot at Con stantinople by the large number of steam transports employed. It was not considered so necessary to send out steam-tugs, because there was so large a number of steam transports continually passing from Malta to Constantinople, all of which hai orders to tow sailing vessels whenever required. No ships were fitted up at home for the reception of the sick and wounded until lately. He thought the consolidation of the two de partments of Somerset-house and Whitehall ought to have taken place long ago, for much inconvenience arose under the old system in consequence of Admiralty busi ness being carried on at the two p.aces separately. H( was not prepared to admit that the transport depart ment was the only one which had failed ; since ever . ) demand made upon it by the Government had beet strictly and promptly complied with. The requisition, made upon him for the sending out of winter clothing and huts was so sudden that some time was lost, owing to the difficulty in obtaining transport vessels. With regard to the forms used in the Admiralty he did not think there was any superabundance ; at all events not too many to check the efficient discharge of the duties of the service. He did not think that the old transport regulations were now issued ; and, if it had been stated to the committee that the captain of a transport ship had been ordered to act under regulations which were drawn up at the period of the old war, it was cor rect. He had every confidence in Captain Goodall, the unfortunate commander of the Prince. Had that officer survived, an inquiry would have been instituted into the circumstances attending the loss of the Prince, not ne cessarily as implying blame upon him, tut for the satis faction of the Government. By Lord Sepaour—The defects in coaling at Con stantinople were never reported to lira by Admiral Boxer—further than that the labourers were not active enough, or adapted for the work they were called on to perform. The committee adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock until Monday. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(TBIS DAY.) LONDON, April 28.—Wind and weather this day at noon, N.W. ; light breeze, and fine weather.

REPRESENTATION OF CLARE.—It was currently re ported on Thursday in Dublin that a vacancy is expected ti 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 etituents. James Blyth, John Lodge, and Lawrence Evans, who, it will be remembered, were last week charged at the Mansion-house with distributing bills " calculated to excite to a breach of the peace," when the French Emperor visited the City, were yesterday discharged, upon entering into their own recognisances to keep the peace. Some of the published reports connect the pro ceedings of the prisoners with foreign democratic in flueuce, but this suggestion appears to have been un founded. SUICIDE or A RESPECTABLE MARRIED FEMALE FROM WATERLOO - BRIDGE.—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, atter 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 song. 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 71. to 101. 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 2001. The beasts, which were in very fine condition, scarcely found bidders. Bruin fetched 31. 15s. The monkeys, which were choice sorts, from ss. to 10s., and the two Esquimaux dogs, 6e. and 4s. each. 0 M A It K E T LATI I E'LL/L1 CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday ruled firm for all descriptions. Uplands realised 5d., Mobile kid., 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 metals 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, the changes were as follows: Active circulation £20,282,865 Decrease 100,965 Bullion Increase 32,848 Rest Increase 4,416 Public Deposits 4,450,664 Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Increase Other Securities Decrease Notes unemployed Increase 1,730,024 13,019,567 1,214,229 928,357 19,364 14,274,373 600,660 13,032,442 233,626 8,089,425 121,890 In enforcing the necessity of an improved and modernised plan in the matter of new loans, the editor of the Bankers' Circular cites the introduc tion of unrestricted competition in commercial pursuits, and then remarks as follows : " We ask for the same liberty in our finance, and the total abrogation of a system that places the interests of this great country in the hands of any single individual. 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 tiotis 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 fael 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 publish 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, or any other public com pany, issue debentures for 5001., and agree to repay 7501., or any other sum above the expressed amount ? Specula tors may talk about the ad vanthge of this or that description .f security, but the only sound principle upon which a nation can borrow, is that practised in daily life, and sanctioned by justice and common sense ; and, if the nation would secure itself from the ultimate consequences f increasing our huge debt, it muss, 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 lays, 25 45 to 471; Hamburgh, 13 8/ to 81 ; 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 )unces, and 5001. in gold. The Lady Ann, which left January 17, is also off Falmouth. The English Stock Market has been rather firmer tfterthe very perceptible heaviness of yesterday Lfternoon ' 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 bad an effect, though not confirmed. Consols have been 88k to 89k both for transfer and account. The New 3 per Cents. have realised 88k to 88k, and the Reduced 870- to 87/. Exchequer Bills lave been 4s. to 75., and India Bonds 12s. premium. The New Annuity is steadyat 16 3-16ths. Nothing has been done in the Omnium, which closed last evening at s to 1. In foreign Stocks there is scarcely any change. The Turkish Bonds have been 731 to M. Rus sian 5 per Cents. have been dealt in at 98,fr. Sar dinian are firm at 861. Brazilian Small have been quoted 98i. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6to 6i; Mexi can, 20 to ; Peruvian, 68 to 70 ; ditto Three per Cents., 47 to 49 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 41 to 43 ; Russian Five per Cents., 98 to 100; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 to 90; Spanish New Deferred, 171 to 181; ditto Three per Cents., 36 to 36i-; ditto Certificates, 4 1 1 to 5i ; ditto Passive, 31 to 4k. 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 AT ONE O'CL() !t. ( From the Official Lid.) Business 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 goo.d dividend concerns, as well as m 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 moaths hung like a continuous nightmare upon it. So soon, even now, as any decided improvement 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 HATE SOLD ORE.—Boiling Well, Bos 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 Vor, Gilmar, Great Wheal Alfred, Great Wheal Baddern, Herward United, Messer, North Towy, Okel Tor, Rhonwydol, Vale of Towy, Sortridge Consols, Wheal Crebor, West Rosewarne, Wheal Kitty, Wheal Tehidy, . The Gold Mining Share Market continues neglected. In Miscellaneous Shares the market has been quiet, and the fluctuations very trifling. FREE-LABOUR BAZAAR. —The most 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 fabric; of free-labour cotton are now coming into the market for consumption. To promote the movement a grand blza,ar and sale of useful and ornamental work is to be held in the City, at the Hall of Commerce, on the 30th and 31st of May. One stall will be devoted entirely to the display of free-labour cotton goods. SHARE MARKETS. 1 (THIS OA 1.? RAILWAYS. nAILIVATS. Clesflag Priced yesterday. Business dolts this day. Paid.'
