The weather has been miserably uncomfortable in London all day. In the morning we had rain with the wind at S.W. During the day it went round to north east south and south west—in fact, round the compass, with heavy squalls while at the southward, and dark thick weather. At f o'clock it blew fresh from S.W., with occasional rain, and now, seven o'clock, the wind has gone to N.W. to N., with drizzling rain, but with a prospect of clearing up. The barometer stands at 29.28. There must have been very heavy weather in the Channel. APRIL 14. THIMMOMETICII, Lowest, 32, Highest, 46; Noon, 47 BAROMETER, 29.4.

Availing himself of the Eas':er recess, Mr. COB DEN seems to be making a kind of political !pilgri mage throughout Yorkshire, for the purpose of cultivating a personal acquaintance with his consti tuents, and of forwarding the agitation in favour of financial retrenchment. On Wednesday he was at IValcefield—on Friday be was at Leeds—neither the Court Newsman nor the Parliamentary Gossip can conjecture where he may happen to be on Monday. We like the principle on which these provincial peregrinations have originated—a prin ciple of candour and good-will between the possessors of the elective franchise and their representatives. The periodical visitations of Mr. WARD to Sheffield, and the continual epitome of the discussions in the Rouse of Commons by Colonel THomesoN, are evidences of the same honesty of conviction and of the same manliness of deport meat. They c arry us back to the manners and cus toms of good old ANDLIEW MAavEL. And hence we like them. Mr. ConDEN eppears to have a decided liking for them too, if we may judge from his recent wanderings in the West Riling. lie evinces a very creditable solicitude to unbosom himself to that vast constituency which honoured him so conspicuously by nominating him, himself, when he was en d eavour i n g, and returning him, unk nown to a fter improving the Constitution of his country, to recruit his own upon the continent. The electors of Yorkshire are, of course, in high good humour at A cou rse of conduct so peculiarly favourable to their o wn interests. They welcome their representative with an enthusia sm havin g r e f erence partly to his bygone achievements i n the destru ction of monopoly, and partly to his antic i pa ted successes i n the 4citie tion of the national expenditure. Several other veteran Reformers have, as a matter of policy not lass thin as a matter of friendship, ac .. companied the Chieftain of the League upon his ex pedition against the profligate squanderers of th e public money and the parasitical hangers-on of Government. Conspicuous among these is, of course, the Alms 'Wales of the ex-Member for Stock • putt, the honourable Gentleman the re p resentative of Manchester. We think, however, that the force of the remarks which fell from the lips of that promi nent colleague of Mr. COBDEN would have been very materially increased had be appeared before the bacquetters of Wakefield less in the character of a Walking Advertisement. We say this plainly and s imply, because Mr. BRIGHT could scarcely have pro claimed more clearly the motive of his observations upon the general tone and principles of the London journals if we bid walked weekly into the dining-room, in the footsteps of the Member for the West Riding with a couple of boards slung over his shoulders, ce those rather dilapidated gentlemen who perambulate the streets of our metropolis, and whom Mr. DIaKENS has facetiously christened by the name of " anite ated sandwiches." Knowing as everybody present did so well the relation in which the Honourable Gentle man stood towards the newspaper upon which his eulogiums were lavished so unstintingly, his advic , savoured considerably more of the Puff Direct than of the Puff Collateral, or of the Puff Oblique, or of the Puff Collusive. It was plain, honest speaking—as plain and honest as the pane gyrics squandered upon his ribbons, and laces, and knick-knackeries by the pedlar At TOLTCUS. It would, perhaps, in some measure have deprived the observations of Mr. BRIG HT of some of their rheto rical brass if he had coupled his allusions to the organ in which his principles (and his pocket) are so pecu liarly interested, with sentiments not altogether ex pressive of political ingratitude. In the admiration of an upstart advocate, the old supporter of more than contemporary duration should scarcely be over looked so cavalierly. But Mr. BRIGHT acts mani festly upon the recommendation of the ballad—first to be off with the old love, and then to be on with the new. His opinions are not so staunch and immove able, neither are his partialities so lasting or consis tent as to enable him (when the hints of traffic whisper to the contrary) to preserve that honourable recollec tion of past services which are best befitting the reputa tion of a public character. The Hon. CHARLES VILLIERS although the Apostle of Free-Trade doctrines, at a time when to be a Free-Trader was to be a political outcast, was forgotten or depreciated in the more gaudy celebrity of some of the succeeding assailants of Protection. It can, therefore, be no marvel that the journal which was the organ of Free Trade during the same perilous and probationary period, which continued uninterruptedly to enunciate the views of the Free-Traders from the opening of the crusade against the selfishness of the upholders of the imposts upon foreign corn down to the moment when the victory was achieved under the leadership of Sir ROBERT PEEL, is scarcely surprising, we repeat, that if the first advocate of Free-Trade in Parliament it contemned, the first ad vocate of Free-Trade in the Press should be slighted. Especially if £. .s. d. direct the enthusiasm of any man like the Hon. Gentleman the representative of Manchester in a totally opposite direction. AMERIGO VESPUCCI acquired all the credit of discovering the double continent of the western hemisphere. Mr. ViLiazas may rather congratulate himself upon being numbered in the same category with COLUMBUS. And we can console ourselves under similar circutn• stances with the remembered destinies of inventors, navigators, and politicians. Unus seminat, alter metat —so says the old proverb, and the old proverb lies not in so saying. Conscious that no oversight has ever led, or ever can lead, in our instance, to ter giversation—sustained by the knowledge that no contumely or ingratitude has ever conduced, or can ever conduce, to the dereliction of our political prin ciples—we can afford to watch with indifference the ungracious treatment of men whose reputation we hare assisted to disseminate, and whose views we have not shrunk from advocating in the hour of gloom and depression. There is a strong and general feeling throughout the entire country in favour of the immediate abo lition of the absurd and useless prohibitions against marriage with the sister or niece of a deceased wife. All classes are equally opposed to the impolitic res trictions. The staunchest Churchman objects as strongly as the enthusiastic Dissenter. Hundreds of beneficed clergymen have affixed their signatures along with those of Dissenting ministers, to petitions praying the Legislature to take the subject into its immediate consideration. Nothing more is required than that the attention of Parliament should be directed to a law which has totally failed to attain the objects fur which it was enacted—which, in the emphatic words of the "Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state and operation of the law of marriage, as relating to the prohibited degrees of affinity, and to marriages solemnized abroad, or in the British colonies," " had not generally deterred parties from forming such con nexions." Nothing can be more injurious, in a public point of view, than any enactment calculated to bring any considerable hn,ly of the people into open and undisguised hestility to the law. This is mot e especially the case v, hen those who are thus placed in the position of law-breakers are men "of unimpeachable character and religious habits," as the report of the Commissioners states many of those who have deliberately disregarded the restric tions imposed upon what they, in their consciences, believed to be a matter of social right, that was not only not forbidden by any Divine law, but was especially sanctioned and encouraged, nay, in some ins'ances com manded. We say commanded advisedly—fur we find, under the Jewish dispensation, a law, declaring that a man shall take to his wife the widow of his deceased brother, and it is universally acknow ledged that acre can be no reason alleged against the marriage with a deceased wife's sister that does not operate with additional force against the connexion with a brother's widow. We have !ong since shown that the 18th verse of the 18th chapter of Leviticus does not in the slight est degree appply to the question. That was only directed (at a period when poligamy was lawful) against such a marriage during the lifetime of the first w ife. " Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister to rex her . . . beside the other in her life time," were the words of the inspired Lawgiver, and it is palpable, that if the union was to be for- bidden at all times, and under all circumstances, there would have been no limitation whatsoever. The addition of the latter words may, therefore, be adduced as the very strongest argument in favour of its validity, or, at least, that it is not in any degree malum in se, or opposed to the Divine law--the law of natural morality. And yet we find this very text relied on, and adduced by the bigots who, not satisfied with prfect rel;gious freedom for themselves, would impose fetters on the consciences of others, who would deprive their brethren of that liberty which they so strenuously insist upon for themselves. There being, therefore, no Divine command, either directly or indirectly, prohibiting such marriages— there being to consanguinity which might prove injurious in a physical or ethnological point of view— no danger of the deterioration of the offspring, we contend that no man or body of men have a right to make restrictive laws, affecting the freedom of others, and depriving them of that social liberty which is the birthright of every free-born citia,,n. It has been said, that if the marriages were sanc tioned and rendered perfectly legal some inconve nience might result—that unions might take place which are now prevented, and that second families might demand some portion of that care and atten tion which would otherwise be exclusively devoted to those who had been deprived of maternal solici tude and protection. Now we directly and unhe sitatingly join issue on this point. We contend that the social inconvenience is altogether on the other sire—that the existing law occasions tenfold greater injury to the semi-orphans than would arise if there were no enactment whatsoever on the statute-book on the subject, and if all parties were allowed perfect free. dom to act as they deemed fitting. There is no law whatsoever against second mar riages. " That courageous monogamist," Dr. PRIMROSE," would scarcely obtain many followers at the present day. Second marriages will take place, in the great majority of instances, where a young and healthy man is deprived of the comfort and companionship of an affectionate spouse, more especially if there are infant children requiring atten tion whi c h no f ather could bestow ; inure especially if that f a th er thosealmarriages, r r a c a h e i children e f n with w b a y hi s daily to earn a support for s daily labour. These second a perfl.ct stranger, are proverbially unfortunate for th e former children. They will be always regarded with som e d egree of jealousy shientruhdaeirs upon the of by hetrbeoirwn,sstheleinvoitetesr. If as them love she fancies should be exclusively lavished upon those dearest to hersef. They are to a certain extent rivals—what is given to one must in some degree be withheld from the others, and invidious feelings are but too frequently excited in the father's mind, and in j talons comparisons instituted between the offenders and the more favoured—between the " ISHAIAELS" and the " 'LIAM" The c 1 is not much better if there should be no i*sue of the second marring-. The disappointed wife will probably entertain a feeling of envy against her mc.r,: fortunate predecessor, and this will very naturally turn into an antipathy against her chil dren, who are regarded rather 13 the offspring cf a `avoured rival than as the children of a much loved husband. The condition of the unfortunate infants is sufficiently painful in either case. It i 3, however, less likely to be so if the person to whose care they were about to be confided had been nearly related to their deceased parent, and inclined to cherish them for her sake. Who would regard them more tenderly than her sister, who had learned to love them before she contemplated a mar riage with their father, and entering upon a closer relationship ? Now, the effect of the prohibition has been either to deprive the children of an aunt's care, or to force that aunt into an illicit connexion with their father—either to drive her from under his roof, or to bring about, if not marriage, at least cohabi tation. Which, then, is the most desirable, to have her the lawful and recognised wife of their father, or the despised victim? In which cafe is she likely to regard them wi h greater affection ? In every point of view, then, the restriction is un just and impolitic. It is an unfair infringement upon natural liberty, without any possible benefit to any parties. It is a great moral and social evil, that should be redressed without a moment's delay. The pro. hibition should not only be removed with re spect to all future marriages of the kind, but all that have taken place since the passing of the 5 and 6 Will. IV., c. 54, should be forthwith legal'sed,so as to subject either of the parties to the penalties of bigamy if they should contract another marriage, and to ren der the offspring thereof perfectly legitimate. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. In the ballot of Thursday, for the election of the members to compose the Council of State, in addition to the 20 elected on Wednesday, only six obtained the requisite majority, viz :—MM. Jean Reynaud, Char ton, Perignon, Pons (de l'Herault), Legnier, and Frederick Cuvier. Another ballot for the 14 remain ing councillors is to take place. Assembly then proceeded to discuss the bud get of the Minister of Finance, and rejected a propo sition for refunding the tax of 45 centimes by a majority of 514 to 119. The Assembly in their bureaux have appointed the Committee on the Bill, presented by the Government, fur legalising the conduct of General CHANGARNIER in holding at the same time the command of the National Guards and that of the troops of the line stationed in Paris. The majority of the Committee are adverse to the Bill. Senor MONTANELLI, late a member of the Provi sional Government of the Tuscan Republic, has ar rived in Paris on a special mission. The Coustitutionnel says that it is reported that 18,000 Austrians are marching upon Tuscany. The National Guards of Paris gave a grand ban quet to the English visitors on Thursday night at the Salle Valentino. The proceedings were very cordial. M. JOBET, in proposing the health of the Queen of ENGLAND, said, " She was the first to come and take us by the hand." The toast was drank with great enthusiasm. BOURSE.—PARIS, FRIDAY, APRIL 13.

T.AIE SUN, _LONDON, SA TURDA Y EVENING, APRIL 14, 1849, SPAIN. Aladrid journals of the Bth have arrived. The Gaceta publishes a telegraphic dispatch an nouncing the arrest of the Conde DR MONTEMOLINO. The Herald() publishes a letter from Tolosa, of the 4th, which confirms the statement of the ex-King CHARLES ALBERT havicg signed in that town a formal renunciation of the Sardinian crown. This document was signed on the 31, at an inn in the Calle del Correa, before M. FERMIN DE FURUNDA RONA, a notary, and in the presence of the Marquis CARLOS FERRERO DE LA MARMORA, Prince DE MASSERANO, first Aide-de-Camp to his Majesty; the Count GUSTAVO PONZA, DE SAN MARTIN, Interldera- General ; Don ANTONIO VICENTE DE PARGA, Poli tical Chief of the province ; and of Don TAVIER DE BAIICAIZTEGUI, Deputy General of the same pro vince. CHARM a ALBERT subsequently declared in the presence of all that be freely and voluntarily rati fied the abdication which he made at Novara, in the night of the 23:1 March, in favour of his son. The declaration made and signed by the KING will be pre served in the office of the notary. An authentic copy was sent to Turin. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the Frankfort Parliament of the 11th inst. the following motion was made by M. KIERULF, and passed by a majority of 267 against 159 votes : " The Parliament, considering the contents of the re port of their deputation to Berlin, declares solemnly be tore the German nation, and protests hereby, viz.:— " 1. That they will not depart from the Charter of the Constitution of the Empire as resolved after the second reading of the same, and that they will abide by the electionary lase. " 2. The Parliamect will appJint a Committee of thi, ty m-mbers to examine the ri port of the deputation, and to propose the m•usures which it shall to them appear fit to adopt for the execution of the above most solemn declaration and protee." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 9th says :—" Our Go • ' vernment clings, as it has always (low, to the idea of a restricted federative state as the real future basis of Germany. What is meant by this is :—The Con federation of 1815 being maintained until modified by a European Congress with the consent of all the inte rested states, there shall Fe formed in the midst of the Confederation, on the model of the Zollverein, a politi cal union of such Governments of Germany as may please to enterit ; this union having acommon represen tation of the people, a Chamber of States diplomacy and army. The Parliament of the Union would repre sent the general in:eres's of the Union, whilst the Chambers of the different States would only occupy themselves with the special affairs of their respec tive States. Another prject is that the Represen tatives of zhe States adhering to the Union shall enter ' the Prussian Chambers. If the proposed union should be adopted, all the German Stat es , w ith th e exception of Austria, would be irresi s tibly d rawn into it." AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. We read in a letter from Vienna of the Bth :—" The reply of the King of PRUSSIA to the Frankfort depu tation has created great sensation here, even in the political circles. It was expected that it would be more decidedly negative. But the Austrian Cabinet now sees that all serious resistance is im possible, without causing anarchy and civil war, and it will accordingly allow the King of PRUSSIA to place himself at the bead of the new German Empire. It may, however, endeavour to form a league with the southern states of Germany. The EMPEROR has issued an ordonnance granting an am nesty to all persons under sentence for offences by the press, upon prosecutions commenced prior to 18th August, 1848, the last birth-day of his MAJESTY. The same ordonnance puts a stop to all prosecutions for similar offences anterior to that day." The letters from llungary all confirm the accounts of the great successes of the Magyars. They have taken Z•:z-nta in Servia, and are now in a position to compel NUGENT to raise the siege of Peterwaradin ; at Morischa th e y d e fe a ted an Austrian division, compelling them to return with the loss of 400 men, leaving open the road to Neusatz to the victorious Man ars. They have also defeated the Imperialists at Losoncz, taking two companies pri soners, and retaining possession of the town. The 34th bulletin of the army was published at Vienna on the 9th. WINDISCIIGRATZ, of course, an nounces, in his usual pompous terms, a variety of victories gained over the Magyars, hut he concludes with these ominous words :—" I am resolved not to attempt another forward movement, but to wait for reinforcements." lie has concentrated his forces round Pesth. GRATZ, APRIL s.—The peaceful city of Gratz has been threatened with a state cf blockade, in a procla mation from the President of the country to the Na• tional Guard, who, writing in the name of the Minis• ter of the IL terior, says—" That while the greatest confidence is reposed in the citizmg, his Excellency, nevertheless, reckons upon the support of the Burger wehr; for if events should lead to serious conflicts, and the Burgerwehr attempted to act a passive part, the city would be at once declared in a state of siege, and martial law introduced." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. APRIL 9.—Tie Danes having again evacuated li hderleb en an d re ti re d nort h war d s , th e ir number i s estimated at 10,000 men. Many wounded have been brought into Flensburg; no less than eighty were brought in last night, among whom were twelve ofacers. The plan of operations intended to he pur sued by Denmark was, first, the taking of Eekerti• forde, and after having become masters of that im portant position, to take possession of Kid. Nothing of importance whatever has taken place since the important engagement at Eckernforde. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 7.—We have cot received very late intelligence from the theatre of war. This disastrous event of the blowing up of the Christian VIII., and the capture of the Gefion, was only partially known. Orders f o r a freshlevy of sailors, and an immediate equipment of some ships of the line have been instantly given. Fadrelandet says,—" That the Minister of Marine has com manded the outfitting of a ship of the line and of a frigate. General Fader will, it is said, re turn toPrankfort."—Humburgh Borsenhalle, April 9. The Cologne Gazette of the 12th says—" It is as tonishing that the report of the events at Sundewitt are so vague It is generally asserted that the loss on the side of the Germans is very great, especially in wounded. This was occasioned by their great enthusiasm in pursuing the eeeiny to the very mouth of the fire of the gun-boats. The loss, on the Hanoverian side especially, was very great. These minor engagements are not of any importance. The electric telegraph has just announced that four Danish men of war have appeared before Heligoland. The German journals state that an engagement had taken place at or near Sundewitt. If vie are to credit the rumours, says the Cologne Gazette, our (the German) troops have suffered con si,lerably in killed and wounded, in consequence o f their bravery in pursuing the Danes, who found a sate retreat in their gunboats, and behind their heavy artillery. A letter, dated Altona, 9th April, states that the Ilanoverian troops had suffered consider a bly, a gene ral officer and a captain being amon g th e s l a i n . A little village near Sundewitt is reported to have been wice carried by storm by the Danes, who were finally driven back. The Weser Zeityng says, that on the 6th of April a battle was fought on th e pen i nsu l a of Sundewitt, in which 12,000 Danes were opposed to 5,000 Germans, and that neither party could claim the victory. Four Danish frigates were tele graphed off Heligoland. Skirmishes b e t ween the out posts of the two armies are of daily occurrence. The following are extracts from the Hamburgh papers : HAIIBURGII, APRIL 10.—An interrogation having been made to the Danish Minister of Marine, whether, after the commencement of the blockade, the English steamers plying between H u ll an d H am b urg h may con tinue their passages, the Minister replied, that atter the 12th they would be refused admittance.

COPENHAGEN. —Th e Minister of Marine, in his official ' communication respecting the loss of the Christian VIII. and the Gefion, adds that the steamers Hecla and Geysor have suffered severely. The Hecla had two killed and six wounded. Another report of the Minister of War states that the frigate Hab fruen, Captain P e t ersen, a f terwar d s su pp orte d by th e 2d division of gunboats, under Lieutenant-Captain Van Dockum, dislodged the insurgents from a baftery on :he west side of the Eksensund on the 31. The frigate received some shots in her hull. The gun- boats did not suffer. On the 3d, at eleven o'clock, Captain H•deiteldt went with the corvette Nagaden, and the third division of gun-boats, under Lieutenant-Captain Gottlieb, to A pen rade, which had been vacated by the enemy. The city was garrisoned by the Danes; one Jager was taken pri soner, and an entrenchment dem.dished. All the insur rectionary officials had It fr, taking with them the trea sury chest, the archives, &c. Captain D. Holmfeldt has since been reinforced. It appears that the Danes occupied Apcnrade fo r 24 h ours on l y , d u ring . which time they committed great devastation, demolishing the strand batteries, &c. They then returned to their ship., and almost immediately after the city was re -occupied by tie federal troops, who entered from various quarters. The Danes immediately commenced a cannonade from their gun-busts agai nst t h e southern part of the city, whereby the royal palace and many houses were se. verely damaged. A slight skirmish took place at Ila dersleben, where the Danes were dideatk.i. It appears that they were not aware that that city was again occu• pied by the federal troops, and bad merely lauded a small body of men. BAVAltl.i. Musrcn, AZPIL s.—The Bavarian Cabinet, in a meeting held on the 2d, resolved to addren a protest to all the Governments of Germany, as well as to all the foreign Governments, against the election of an Emperor of GERMAICY. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, APRIL 12 —The KING has pre sented his portrait to the city in token of his extreme satisfaction at the state of the city. A deputation waited on his MAJESTY on Monday la3t, to thank him for his gift, and also for the sum of 10,000 francs to be expended in the im provement of the Park. After the address had been presented by the Burgomaster, the K ING entere d i nto familiar conversation kith the lumbers, and congra tulated both himself and them on the very excellent spirit which prevails among the inhabitants, and the admirable example set by the capital t o ot h er c i t i es, during the late eventful crisis. It was remarke 1 that the situation of the country was greatly ame li orated past must thorough yptriand that th e perfect tranq uilli ty ottsm of the B e l g i an nation. e a ar good o t within was enjoy ed sense ai ITALY. A letter from Turin of the 9th states that the Sardinian Government has answered the deputation of Genoa that if the town surrendered immediately an amne s ty would be granted. Th e only exceptions would be 12 chiefs of the insurrectio n , all the military who have taken a part in it, and the individuals guilty of crimes against persons and p ro p er ty. I n order to ailow the municipality of Genoa time to con sider these conditions, the term of the armistice prorogued to the 10th. The Lombards who hail ad vanced towards Genoa were still at Bobbio, and had not advanced. The letters and journals from Genoa, Tuscany, Rome, and Naples had not arrived at Turin on the 9th. The Nazione of Turin, of the 9th, announces as certain the arrival at Genoa of the corps of Trailleuri, under thg command of MANARA, to make common cause with the insurgents. _ _ of the 9th, announces th a t Chle'll?aelit°.rPißnine o a ° ucic, f Turin, conitnssion e d by the Austrian Government to agree on the conditions of peace with Piedmont, has set out for Milan. A letter from Milan, of the 6th instant, states that an inhabitant of the town of Alouza, in whose house some fire-arms had been discovered, had been tried by court-martial, convicted, and shot. SICILY. Letters from Naples state that FILANGIERI com menced operations on the 28th by dispatching one column of troops from Messina in the direction of Palermo ani another in the direction of Catania. He himself proceeded by sea towards Caania. The only feat of arms the Neapolitans had as yet performed was the blowing up of an old castle at Torremina. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIJ TELEGRAPH.) TRIAL OF MR. DUFF Y. DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING.—The evidence for the defendant was not brought to a conclusion until two o'clock P.M., after which the Solicitor-General pro ceeded to reply'on the part of the Crown. From the advanced hour at w hi c h the Learned Gent!eman com menced his address, it is dcubtful whether Mr. Justice Jackson will charge the jury this evening. At all events, there is scarcely a likelihood of the trial concluding tonight. It is reported this ni,_,rning (ten o'clock) that eleven of the jury proceeded to the court on foot, while the twelfth man travelled from his hotel on a jeunting car, being thus for a time, and contrary to law, absent from his fellows. If this be true, doubts would arise as to the legality of any verdict under such circumstances. CORN MARKET. —We had a more animated market at our Corn Exchange to-day than for some time, and full prices were paid for all descriptions of grain. White R heat, old, 235. to 269. Gd. ; red ditto, 21s. to 255. ; barley, 13s. to 17s. 6d. ; oats, 10s. 6d. to 125.; oatmeal, 11s. to 12s. ; seconds flour, 1 4s. to 1.55. ; Indian corn, per 480 lbs , 295. to 335. 6d. WEBSTER'S ROYAL RED BOOR, APRIL, 1849.—The present edition of this Court ;nd fashionable register is corrected up to the present month, and therefore records all the changes which have taken place since the commencement of the season. It is a mirror of the fashionable world, as it exists at the present moment. SALAIIIE3 IN PUBLIC OFFICES.—An official return, ordered to be printed on the 23J of Jtarch, exhibits au increase during the year' 1848 of the number of persons employed in public offices of 1,215, slid a concurrent decrease of 360. The total increase of expenditure amounts to 65,063/., and the total diminution of the gam to 88 .7724 LARGE lIALLIBUT.—There was exhibited for sale in Mr. Anderson's fish shop, West George-street, on Saturday and yesterday, the largest halltbut, probably, ever seen in Glasgow. It weighed very nearly 2001b5., and was in very fine condition. It was caught on the west coast. These fish are rarely caught so large as 1001bs., and one double that size was never before knoifn is this market.—North British Nail. HONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CIT'Y, QUARTER 7'o THREE. The weekly balance-sheet of the Bank of England trade up to the 7th inst. is interesting, ehhough the ditideed paymeets will not come into acccuet until the neat seaternent is publieht d. The item that will attract most attt ntion is that of the precious metals, in which there is rather a masked reduction. We mentioned a few days since that the steamer about to depart for the United State s would take out sp - tie, and it is now said 90,0001. were forwarded. Sone little secrecy appears to have Le en observed in the matter, fur we have heat d many conflicting statements as to the amount. Precise cause there way be none, but where there is a special reason for the ri mittance, it is frequently the policy to say as little as possible on the subject. What pre fit is to result frem such an operation, unless the rate of exchange de • clines at New York, we may leave the parties to calcu lute. What we would say, how, vcr, is, that the diminu tion in the bullion is of little import under present c . reuaastarices, and with such a large ameunt as the Batik holds, reed further that it by no means follows that the whole attie mit of the r. ductiee is ett:ibutable to expert,. The inti mei eirceda‘ion be comes more active thou; this time, or . sheutel do so, aid we see that by the greater amount of notes out with the pubic. The Beek "rest" is diminished sensibly, the dividend and bonus being deducted, end the amount is not far short of 800,00/. The addition to private de posits shews the difficulty of I mployieg money, and the reduction in the Jenne upon ether securities further il lustrates this. From the incr. a.e in the Government .securitiee, it may be assumed th,t the Bank has made the teual quarterly advances to the Chaeceller of the Exchequer. A co:npaiison with the previoue week gives the following results : Notes I.: d ... 26 019,480 Decrease 387,625 Rest ... 3,079,859 Decrease 786 221 Public Deposits 7,731,781 Decrease ... 98,421 Other Deposits 9,625,222 Increase ... 337.344 Seven Day and other Bills 1,101,143 Increase ... 34,774 Government Securities ... ... 1.4,372.844 Increase ... ... 300,000 Other Securities ... 11,124,536 Decrease ... 154,332 Notes , ... • ... 9,737,575 DecrVase 723,620 Bullion ... 14,875,480 Decrease 322,204 Active Circulation 18,281,905 Increase ... ... 335,995 The negotiation of bills of exchange upon the prin cipal continental cities was effected last week upon fully the terms of Tuesday last, and rather more was paid for drafts on Hamburgh and Paris, the quotation being 13.12 to 124 on the former place, and 25.52* to 57* on the latter. On Amsterdam bills were taken at 12.24 to *, and on Tiieite and Vienna at Il 32 to 36. There has been rather a laiger quantity of sugar sold this week, and at fuller prices, but coffee has continued dull, and also tea. Rice and saltpetre have been brisker. The Boston steamer takes out a further sum in bul lion, said to be 200,0001., but the amount is doubtful. To other parts, the shipments direct from London have this week been in silver coin and bars, 9,000 ounces to Rotterdam, 120,000 out e-,s to Calais, 24,500 ounces to Belgium, and 28,879 eunces to Hamburgh. The Foreign mails just arrived bring no later political news of importance. At Amsterdam, en the 12th, the Dutch Funds were again in favour ; Spanish were very firm, and Mexican higher. Frankfort accounts of the 11th of April, quote the Austrian Five per Cents. at 7611. The Assembly had taken a firm attitude in respect both to the German Emperor and the Datish questions, but whether it will he successful time will determine. Although the decrease in the bullion held by the Bank of England had an unfavourable effect at first, it was partly anticipated yesterday afternoon, and therefore wears off, being, in fact, more calculated to do good than harm, Consols have realised 92 to 92k for Trans fer, and 92* to 3 for Account. They ate now 92* and 921 Exchequer-hills bare been quoted 46, to 48s. premium, and India Bonds 625. to 645. premium. India St, ck has hi en quoted 247. The New Three ' and-a-gierter per Cents. have been 911 to 91k, and the Three per Cents. 901 to. It is expected that upon the return to town of Mr. Schneider, there will be an amicable arrangement come to upon the subject of the Mexican money, and that it may even be paid as part of a dividend, instead of a lean or advance. The Bonds are worth 294 to 304. Equi, dor Stock is 3i I f , and Grenada Bonds are 184. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 171 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 31* to 32, being firm. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 271 to 281. The Red way Share Market bas been rather weak this morning, the settle want being in progress. Mining Shares have been rather dull this week.
