Never was there a majority composed of more heterogeneous and conflicting materials than that by which Mr. DISRAELI'S motion was rejected last night, or rather this morning. It exhibited every shade and variety of political opinion, from the ultra-Liberal to the ultra-Tory, from the advo cate of peace at any price and on any conditions to the most strenuous supporter of the War. " The lion, indeed, lay down by the lamb," for did not Mr. LAYARD walk into the same lobby with Mr. BRIGHT, and Mr. Lows record his vote with that of Mr. M. GlnsoN? The Marquis of GRA NBY, as the representative of the collective " Dukery," cast his weight into the Ministerial scale along with Mr. GLADSTONE and the Peelites, and Mr. COBDEN and the Manchester School. It was not that the Most Noble Marquis found himself by any means at home in the strange company with which, perhaps for the first time, he found him self associated. It was . not that he loved the Peelites, Whigs, or Radicals, but he was willing to endure the pain of co-operation in order to serve Russia and the great cause of oligarchical rule. It is almost needless to state the result of such a combination. The extraordinary coali tion succeeded in defeating the resolution by a large majority. Three hundred and nineteen Noble Lords and Right Honourable and Honour able Gentlemen agreed together for the purpose of rejecting the proposed resolution, which was supported by two hundred and nineteen members. But there was no principle of cohesion to, cement and bind together the parties to the ill-assorted union, whose tones and language were as diverse as those of the plundered nationalities which con stitute the monster power, whose further aggres sions England and France liave deemed it essential to resist. But although the original proposition has been. disposed of, the various amendments arising therefrom still remain for discussion. There is the amendment of Sir FRANCIS BARING, " the shabby amendment " which Mr. DISRAELI justly said had been " cribbed from his thoughts and clothed in his stolen language I" There is that of Sir W. HEATHCOTE pointing towards peace, and also that of Mr. LOWE indicating a de termination to terminate the abortive negotia tions, and to carry on the War with vigour and energy, and in which, so far as relates to the ori ginal resolution, there is " a distinction without a difference." When along with these the sub stantial motion of the Right Honourable Member for Manchester is taken into con sideration, we may safely affirm that there is a tolerably fair amount of work already provided for Honourable Gentlemen when they return after their Whitsun holidays—work in which the tem porary truce patched up between the different parties that voted with the Government will be completely dissolved, and an internecine war will be carried on between the strangely-assorted auxiliaries. But the debate has already been productive of the most beneficial results. It has elicited dis tinct and positive declarations from Ministers, 1 and exhibited the Peelites in their true colours. We can now understand how it was the nation was suffered to " drift " into the War, and why that War was "starved." We have obtained a clue to the strange financial policy that led to the draining of the Exchequer, and the ex haustion of the Gov ernment balances, in that " valuable financial demonstration "—th e pay ment of more than eight millions sterling of the outstanding debt, and the obstinate refusal t o negotiate a loan for the purpose of carryin g on the contest in which we so tardily engaged— all these matters are now placed in a very clear point of view, and the people can appreciate the advantages arising from the fortunate overthrow of the ABERDEEN Cabinet, and the secession of the Peelite clique from office. The value of the Ministerial declarations ma y be duly estimated from the manner in which " the unsuccessful Plenipotentiary" after the divi sion, en deavoured to shale out of what he had said whil e the fate of the Government remained undecided. The official reserve of Lord PALMER STON has also l-, been dissip ated. before spoken as distinctly and intelligibly—bad he thus clearly indicated the Ministerial policy at an earlier stage of the pro • ceedings, the " dark suspicions " to which Mr. DISRAELI so fel' I alluded in his op enin g s p eech mightnotha:c'tously But, unfortuna tel y , t here was not o nly the ref sa en i toaffordany information as to the future intentions of the English Government, but there were ominous hints to the effect that the means of peace were not exhausted —that the Russian pro _ position contained "elements" from which a g safisiactiiky rY un derstanding ..._ , might eventually be -` ::: ' - airtikVi c t. ~ -.

These bold denunciations of Russia would have been eminently satisfactory but for the unfortu nate difference between the " sayings " and " doings" of the Cabinet. How can Lord JOHN RUSSELL reconcile his quondam assertion respect ing the imperative necessity for " material gua rantees," and of " reducing Russia's power to proportions innocuous to Europe's liberties," with his later speeches at Vienna, to the effect that " the best and only admissible conditions of peacewould be those which, being most in harmony With the honour of Russia, would, at the same time, be sufficient for the security of Europe, and for preventing a return of complications such as that the settlement of which was then in question?" How can Lord PALMERSTON reconcile his repeated protests against any interference with the Royal prerogative in relation to the War with his decla ration this morning, that, in whatever hands the Government is placed, the will of the country must and shall be obeyed. How can the truckling to " Germanism," so painfully apparent in all the past proceedings of our rulers, be rendered con sistent with the degraded picture of the German States, and of their complete subservience to Russia, so graphically drawn by the ex- Plenipotentiary ? It is utterly impossible to do so. Before, then, we can place unlimited reliance in the pledges extorted from Ministers, we must see unequivocal indications of a total alteration in their policy, and that they are as bold when speaking to the representatives of other nations as in the Imperial Palace at Westminster. Let the electors in every constituency throughout the length and breadth of the land profit by the vacation, and impress their own wishes on those whom they have sent to represent them, so as to place these important matters beyond the possi bility of future doubt. The necessity of reform in the navy has long been felt and urged by individuals acquainted with the service. It is now becoming a question of the day, one to which Administrative Re formers must apply their energies. The curse of patronage and routine is on the navy, and will remain there until removed from without. A management must be bad when clumsiness is the least fault of it, as is the case with the manage ment of the navy. The machinery is clumsy, and clumsily worked, but there is jobbery and ineffi ciency also. The exposures which have taken place at the dockyards may be followed by others equally discreditable elsewhere. Officers are pro moted for no merit of their own, but by in fluence, without regard to the interest of the service, and this to the exclusion of others really deserving. Thus a veteran Lieutenant, fit to command any vessel, may find himself under the orders of an Honourable, who learned the little he knew under him ; or, an able Com mander may find himself consigned to inaction in order that an aristocratic tyfo may indulge his whims at his country's expense. In the building of vessels of war governmental incompetency is notorious. It is something of a triumph for the Admiralty when a vessel will float and not turn bottom up, but it is really a great one when no costly alterations are required. The waste of two millions in the transport service is fresh in everybody's recollection, and we are bold to say the more the naval government is overhauled, the more striking will the necessity I for Reform appear. The sooner this is done the better, and we trust the motion of which Captain SCOBELL has given notice, viz., for a Select Com mittee to inquire into the government of the navy, will meet with general support. The infinite impor tance of the navy to the safety and welfare of the country renders its proper management a subject of vital interest, from the consideration of which honourable members should not be deterred by any consideration whatever. The announcement made last night in the House of Commons by Mr. WILSON, in reply to Mr. HANKEY'S inquiry whether any arrangements would be made for the purpose of facilitating the obtaining of passports to Paris during the Exhi bition, will be received with considerable satisfac tion by the more enterprising of the working classes throughout the country. The question, it appears, had been brought under the notice of the Foreign-office, and the result is that passports will be issued to English work-people for one month without expense—the French Government on its part offering every reasonable facility for landing and travelling in France to persons thus furnished. Gratifying as the boon undoubtedly is in a pe cuniary point of view, it is not less so in the removal of difficulties and embarrassments which it insures. We are emphatically an insular peo ple, unacquainted, generally speaking, with the particulars of continental travel, and our working men are likely enough to take offence at some of VISIT OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT TO PARIS. them ; and this being far from desirable, it is quite as well the chances of escapades or an noyance on their part will be so greatly reduced. Our geographical position has its advantages, and these unquestionably of the highest order ; but it has also disadvantages, which a freer communication with the rest of the world, not at home merely, but also abroad, is required to remove. Preju dice is somewhat too rampant among us. We think a little too well of ourselves, and not well enough of other nations, and have been especially guilty of this fault with respect to France ; for a fault it is, and a graver one than many are prepared to admit, for we have lost much by it. Diplomatically we have lost, and commercially also. If we can teach the French many things likely to be of service to them, they can recipro cate the boon. If in some respects our operatives are superior to the French, as in certain depart ments of mechanical skill, in other departments, and in taste or design, the French surpass them. Each have, in short, much to learn of the other to their profit. These things being taken into consideration, and the wisdom of cul tivating the friendly feeling now happily existing between the two countries still further, the bene ficial nature of the boon to which we have referred will be obvious to all, and we trust our work- people will largely avail themselves of it. They will have no reason to be ashamed of the figuro cut by their countrymen in the Exhibition, and they will see wuch there they have not seen before. It is currently reported that the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert will arrive in Paris on the 16th or 17th of August, as the guests of the Emperor and Empress of the French, and to visit the French Exhi bition.

DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS. DESPATCH FROM GENERAL PELISSIER. PARIS, SA TVRDAY. A despatch to the following affect has been received from General Pelissier : " SEBASTO POL, MAY 24. " A very lively combat, directed against our important position, has lasted all night. We ob tained a complete success. The enemy's loss was enormous, and ours sensible." The Patrie has the following : We are assured that a great advantage has been gained by the French army before Sebastopol. A private despatch announces that on the night between the 22d and 23d of May the French car ried by assault the intrenched Russian camp near the Quarantine Bastion, which was defended by the whole garrison of Sebastopol. The same despatch states that the expedition against Kertch had again sailed. PARIS, SATTJRDAY, 7.30 A.M. The Moniteur publishes two despatches from General Pelissier, dated the 23d and 24th inst. In the first the General thus expresses himself : _ " The enemy had formed between the Central Bastion and the sea a large place d'armes, where they proposed assembling considerable forces to make important sorties against us. " In the night between the 22d and 23d we at tacked those works, which were defended by nearly the whole of the garrison. The combat was fierce, and lasted during nearly the whole of the night. We carried and occupied half of the works. I hope to be able to announce to you to morrow that the remainder will have been carried on the following night." In the other despatch Gen. Pelissier says : " We last night very happily carried the re mainder of the works we had Attacked on the pre vious evening. The enemy, whose losses were enormous the night before, did not make so stout a resistance. Our losses, though considerable, were much less. _ _ .._ _ " The Allied armies to-day cordially celebrated together the birthday of her Majesty." BERLIN, FRIDAY, MAY 25. A despatch from St Petersburg, dated this day, Friday, May 25, announces that the following despatch had been received there from Prince Gortschakoff, dated Sebastopol, the 19th : The enemy's fire is weak. Our losses are moderate. Both sides are occupied in repairing the old and erecting new batteries. The Invalide Russe announces that the Empe ror had just inspected the arsenals, fortifications, troops, batteries, and. fleets at Oronstadt. VIENNA, SATURDAY, 9 A.M. The projected Conference will not be held to day. The expected despatches have not arrived from Paris and London. SEBASTOPOL, MAY 24, AFTERNOON. Miss Nightingale has been very ill, but is now out of danger. THE BALTIC FLEET. BERLIN, MAY 25. The Vulture, with mails, arrived last night a Dantzic. There were some large Russian men-of-war lying at Sweaborg. They were dismantled. The Riga channel was blocked up by sunken rocks. The bulk of the English fleet was at Nargen. The crews were healthy. No new cases of small-pox had occurred on board the Duke of Wellington and Arrogant. BERLIN, SATURDAY, MAY 26. Advices from Nargen, of the 223, state that the English fleet has not commenced hostilities. No French vessel had joined yet. Some steamers had penetrated into the bay of Cronstadt without meeting any ice. FRANCE. PARIS, Friday Evening.—A grand dinner of 50 covers was given yesterday at the British Em bassy, in honour of the Queen's birthday. An Imperial decree promotes Colonel Barolet de Puligny, of the infantry of the marine, to the rank of General of Brigade. _ . . The Moniteur publishes a decree confirming two promotions to the rank of officer, and 23 nomina tions to that of Knight in the Legion of Honour, and the graut of 46 military medals made by the General-in-Chief of the army of the East, among officers and sailors of the navy and of the marines, serving with that army. An Imperial decree, in the Bulletin des Lois, opens a supplementary credit of 1,300,000 f. to the Minister of Finance, 500,000 f. of which is for the administrative expenses of the Legislative Body and for indemnities to deputies. A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels, says :—" General Canrobert has not accepted the command of General Pelissier's corps, which the Minister of War had stated in his letter to be as signed to him by the Emperor. The general has only resumed the command of his old division, at the head of which ho fought so bravely at Alma. The command of General Pelissier's corps has been given to General de Salles." The Russian vessels the Orion and the Alexan der 1., which were captured last year, are now, by order of the Minister of Marine, being fitted out at Toulon for active service. They are to receive each a French crew on board, and to form part of the French navy. BOURSE, MAY 25.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. c.

The steam-corvette Pylades, 21, Capt. D'Eyn court, with the screw gunboats Starling and Thistle in tow, having coaled and watered, left this port yesterday morning to join the fleet off Revel. In the evening the French squadron, under Rear- Admiral Penaud, got up steam and quitted the harbour in a majestic style. The weather was calm and the sea smooth, and the concourse of spectators to witness the departure was enormous. HELSINGFORS, May s.—Yesterday, after five months of severe winter, the ice broke up suddenly and our harbour, greatly to the delight of the in habitants, became navigable. In the distance the white streaks of ice towards Sweaborg are becoming gradually darker and darker every day, but at the entrance of the harbour much drifting ice is still collected and piled up in masses where the waves have cast them on the rocks and shoals. For the first time since its foundation Helsingfors presents the appearance of an empty harbour. Not even the black streak of a single steamer's smoke is now discernible on the horizon. The Governor-General seems fully to expect a bombardment by the French and English fleets, and precautionary measures have been taken in consequence. Orders have already been issued to the owners and tenants of houses, most of which are constructed of wood, to prepare and keep in readiness large water tanks on the roofs of the houses should the town be set on fire. SPAIN. The following telegraphic despatch has been re ceived in Paris. It is dated Madrid, 24th inst.:— " The Gazette publishes a Royal decree placing Arragon, Burgos, and Navarre in a state of siege. " The Government has to-day demanded extra ordinary powers from the Cortes, to be enable to exile suspected persons and to suppress the journals hostile to the Queen." The Corriere Mercantile of the 22d states that the members of the Piedmontese Senate who voted in favour of the Convents Suppression Bill have received anonymous letters, threatening them with -condign punishment iit the - next - world, and, - if possible, in this. AUSTRIA AND THE WESTERN POWERS. The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following as the text of a note addressed by M. de Walewsiti, the new French Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the French Envoys abroad. It is dated 9th May : " Sir I hasten to prevent by explicit declarations any erroneous interpretation of a series of facts, so as to enable you to contradict any wrong bearing given to them. " You are aware that Count Buol when, after a de claration of the Russian Plenipotentiaries which we might have regarded as sufficient to authorise us to re gard the conferences as broken off, adjourned the re assembling of the conferences ; he nevertheless expressed the desire to endeavour to find in a new combination a means for realising the third point. The Vienna Cabi net did not hesitate to declare its firm intention to maintain the alliance of the 2d of December when it submitted to France and England propositions which they examined with the greatest desire to find them satisfactory. " Unhappily their good intentions failed, as it was impossible of making an arrangement, founded on such a combination, agree with what their digulty demanded, and the legitimate right which they hau made it their mission to assert in the general interests of Europe. It appeared, in fact, to the Cabinets of Paris and London, that the interpretation of that point which is the most important of all, and in reality the sanction of the others, as proposed by Austria, responded neither to their ex pectations nor to the sacrifices they had made. " If the Cabinet of St. Petersburg had accepted the ultimatum proposed by the Court of Vienna peace would have been re-established on weak foundations, the in efficiency of which would have led in the future to dan gers which it was the hope of the Allies from the be ginning of the crisis, and after the great efforts made by the Allied Powers, to see banished for ever. "Such are the motives which have induced us not to adopt the plan proposed by the Austrian Government. These motives are so evident, they are so fully justified by the position of the Western Powers, that we do not doubt the Court of Vienna will appreciate them in their true meaning. "The alliance of the 2d December is not, therefore, brought in question. It is, on the contrary, the earnest desire of the Government of the Emperor, and of the Government of her Britannic Majesty, to strengthen and develope it, and no doubts can exist at Vienna on the subject. It is important, sir, that you should express yourself clearly in this sense, and explain that, if the situation has undergone a modification, it arises solely from the fact that the Russian Plenipotentiaries, after having accepted the third point in principle, afterwards refused to admit its practical consequences. WALEWSKI." RUSSIAN CIRCULAR. BERLIN, MAY 23.—The Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs has, under datp of 10th instant, issued the following circular to the representatives of Russia : "The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just received the following official announcement :—ln the forenoon of the 16th (28th) April, an English officer, with a flag of truce from the frigate l'lmperieuse, Capt. Watson, notified in Port Baltic-1, that the Russian ports in the Bay of Finland were declared to be blockaded from that day ; 2, that the foreign, i.e., the neutral vessels which were at that time in Port Baltic might leave the harbour, but only in ballast, or with cargoes of other than Rus sian property ; 3. That to this end a term of seven days was allowed them, but under the express condition that they should take in no further cargo subsequent to the date of the declaration of the blockade. When asked whether ships that might leave the harbour on the strength of this assurance would be allowed to pro secute their course unimpeded without danger of being► stopped by any cruizers they might meet at sea, the English officer declared that he could not take upon himself to give that assurance, since it was possible that the Admiral in command of the English fleet might sub sequently issue other orders. The Imperial Missions and Consulates abroad are requested to bring these facts to the knowledge of the Governments to which they are accredited, leaving it to them to make them known to all engaged in commercial pursuits. We call to their rememberance at the same time, that the notification published March 28 of the last year in the name of her Britannic Majesty, contained the following declaration : —` Her Majesty will waive her right to confiscate enemy's goods on board neutral ships, except in the case of con tnband of war.' From the announcement made at Port Baltic it appears, however, that England now re nounces the principle she adopted but a year ago of the flag covering the cargo, and it will be expedient to draw the attention of neutrals engaged in commerce to this circumstance. _ _ "The Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister adlatus SENJAVIN." LAW INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. The Lord Chancellor, after having disposed of the case of a ward, in his private room, this morning, sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn. AFISSNCE OF COUNSEL. Upon several of the cases that were on his lordship's paper being called on, counsel were not present, upon which his lordship remarked rather severely, and threat ened to strike the cases out of the paper. Ultimately counsel appeared, and the cases on the piper were pro ceeded with, but nothing of the least interest came be fore the Court previous to its rising shortly before one o'clock ; his lordship, it was said, having to attend a Cabinet Council. (Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.) IeINTOSH V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY, This case, which was specially appointed to be further considered on Monday next, was postponed to Wednes day, in consequence of his Honour not sitting on Mon day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ;Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief-Justice Campbell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr, Justice Erle, and Mr, Justice Crompton.) QUEEN V. FULLER. This was an appeal against the rating of certain pre mises, situate at Chichester, in Sussex, used' partly as a militia store and partly as the official residence of the Adjutant of the regiment. The case turned on the con struction of the 2d section of the recent Militia Act ; The appellant contending the whole of the premises was exempt from rating, and the respondents only such part as contained the stores. The premises in question were rather extensive, comprising, besides a dwelling house, a coach-house, and stabling for five horses, which latter were used by a veterinary surgeon, and not by the ad jutant, and it was the stabling as well as the dwelling house the respondent contended should be rated. The Court, after hearing arguments from the learned counsel on both sides, said that part of the rate relative to the dwelling-house occupied by the adjutant and his family, and in which the stores were deposited, must be quashed. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Alderson, Platt, and Martin were on the Bench to-day, but up to the time our report was despatched, nothing of the slightest general interest transpired. GREAT GLOBE, LEICESTER SQUARE.—The many thou sands who have visited Mr. Wylde's admirable model of Sebastopol will be glad to learn that the spirited pro prietor will open, on Monday next, a new room, in which will be placed a model of Crenstadt and the sur rounding shores of the Gulf of Finland, and also a large model of the Baltic Sea and the surrounding countries, together with a variety of arms and trophies ta A ken from the Russians, illustrated by lectures upon the seat of war. A great treat is in store for them. TOPOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE GROUND BEFORE SEBASTOPOL.—The committee of the Royal Artillery Institution have published the second part of these sketches, by Major Biddulph, that officer having pre sented them to the institution. The part contains, ex clusive of lithographed views of the Mamelon, the Malakhoff Tower, and the Redan, with the c onnecting works, accompanied by an explanatory description ap plicable to both parts. A trial is about to take place in the Court of Com mon Pleas, at the sittings after the present term, in London, wherein the concocters of certain of the gold companies are likely to undergo a public exposure, and it is believed that one or two of them will probably cut rather a sorry figure ; and it is hoped, for the furtherance of the ends of justice, all sufferers by recent mining speculations will make it their business to attend. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT SPITALFIELDS. Yesterday morning, shortly before four o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive premises of Mr. Alfred Smith, brush manufacturer, Wentworth-street, Spitalfields. The building, which covered a large extent of ground, was with its valuable contents entirely destroyed. The damage, which is estimated at some thousands of pounds is partially covered by insurances in the Atlas office. The origin of the fire is unknown. BILLS OF EXCHANGE AND PROMISSORY NOTES.—Yes terday, the bill, as amended by the select committee on Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes, was printed. It now contains eight clauses, of which four have been added by the committee. It is to facilitate remedies and to prevent frivolous defences. Under this act if leave is not obtained to appear, judgment may be signed. On merits ibeing shown, leave to be granted to a de fendant to appear. Under this act judgment can be signed in a few days.

CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, closed with a firm appearance, and without much - variation in prices. The sales of the week amounted to 153,080 bales. The Railway Share Marker was steady, and closed with an upward tendency in prices. The arrivals of Colonial produce during the month are stated by Messrs. H. Jewesbury and Co. to have been very large, notwithstanding which the business transactions have been consi derable since the date of our last, and former prices for most articles have been fully maintained. The deliveries from the warehouses, both for home con sumption and export, continue very satisfactory. We have to notice a reduction in the stocks of many leading articles, which, until lately, have been in excess of last year. Sugar and rice are both dearer. Dyes and dyeing materials re main without alteration, except for Indigo, which is dearer. Cochineal has continued in fair demand, but previous rates have been barely sup ported. From the continental produce market the accounts continue satisfactory. From the cotton manufacturin g districts the reports state that the demand had slightly fallen off, and lower prices had been accepted, but from the woollen districts we learn tl'at the transactions have been large, and higher rates have ruled. In referring to the debate upon Mr. Disraeli's motion, Messrs. Smith and Charles express their conviction that neither the mover, who should have excellent means of information, nor Lord John Russell, who, from his mission to Vienna, ought to be still more competent to form an opi nion, have any strong expectations of peace. At the public sales of wool just concluded there were 43,208 bales of Colonial, and 3,418 of East India, and 5,838 of Foreign offered. The Austra lian realised ld. to 11d., and for Moreton Bay 2d. to 3d. per lb. advance. Cape went 2d. to 3d. higher for scoured parcels, and Id. to id. for greasy. All that we have stated for some time past re specting the po , ition of the Bank of England has been i-erified by the most recent balance sheets of that establishment. The account for. the week to the 19th inst. gives the amount of the bullion and the note reserve together so large that one might fancy we were in a state of protound peace, and although, unfortunately, the dullness of trade partly contributes to the accumulation, it is en couraging to find such large imports of gold from abroad. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : Active circulation £19,621,940 Decrease 297,395 Bullion 16,647,716 Increase 602,515 3,170,300 V. 4,515 3,358,272 624,364 12,230,771 25,564 991,720 36,420 10,823,132 193,242 12,455,155 Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Decrease 88,645 Notes unemployed 10,280,610 Increase Yesterday afternoon there was a little flatness in the rates for bills of exchange upon Antwerp, Frankfort, and Trieste. Paris was firm, and Ham burgh and Amsterdam were a shade higher. All the gold per Sussex, from Australia, has been melted and sent into the Bank of England. The amount of the precious metals shipped direct from London during the week en '.ling Thursday last was 5,920 ounces of silver and 140 of gold, all to the Continent. The ship Elizabeth from Port Philip brings 12,502 ounces of gold. The extremely favourable Bank Return, and the satisfactory news from the Crimea, have rendered the stock market very firm, and given a fresh im petus to business. Consols have been 91i and since 91i- 4 for transfer and account. The New 3 per Cents. have been 91 to , and the Reduced 901 to 4. The Omnium is up to 31 and 31 pre mium, and the Terminable Annuity is firm at 16/ to 11-16ths. In Foreign Stocks scarcely any business is doing. Turkish Bonds have been 77i to 781. Mexican Bonds are quiet at 22. Spanish Threes bring 37k. Dutch 2 per Cents. are 63i. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 71; Mexi can, 22i to 22# ; Peruvian, 68 to 70 ; ditto Three per Cents., 47 to 49 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 42 to 44 ; Russian Five per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 to 90 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18i to 18 ; Ditto 3 per Cults., 37i to 371; Ditto Certificates, 4 to 4f ; Ditto Passive, 33 to 41. Railway Shares are at higher rates for the prin cipal lines, but business is not very active. The lines are in demand, at very full rates. Sambre and Meuse are better. The Banks are quiet.

Miss Romer commences the operatic season at this theatre on Monday next, with a new opera by Herr Mayer Lutz. It is entitled Faust and Marguerite, and the principal parts will be sustained by Mr. H. Drayton, Mr. G. Perren, Mr. G. Yarn°ld, Mr. Bowler, and Mrs. H. Drayton. The services of Flexmore and Madame Auriol have been secured for the ballet, and Miss Featherstone for the fairy extravaganza. The arrange ments altogether for the campaign are highly attractive. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The new grand Whitsuntide spectacle to be produced at this theatre will be one of the most magnificent things yet attempted by the enterprising lessee. It is entitled England and France in the Days of Chivalry ; or, the Brothers in Arms, and is from the practised pen of J. li. Stocqueller, Esq. It abounds with scenery and effects, and we have no doubt but that the representa tion of the tournament in the field of the Cloth of Gold will create quite a furor. Even in the incomplete state in which we have seen it it is one of the best things we have•witnessed. THE WINNER OF THE DERBY. SINGULAR FACT. (Front the Monmouthshire Merlin.) A. Monmouthshire gentleman, who has, we hear, never made a wager upon a racing event in his life, dreamed, about a fortnight since, that he had seen, in the Evening Sun paper, Wild Dayrell running in to win at the head of a ruck. This fact he told to several of his friends, most of whom took the odds on Wild Dayrell, and are now exulting in having realised hand some sums. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.
