MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, without any change of importance from Thursday. The sales were 10,000 bales, (includ ing 4,000 on speculation and for exportation). The Railway Share Market was quiet at a slight adyance. The Bank of England return, for the week ending the 29th ult., is rendered unfavourable by the active demand for money, which prevailed during the period over which it extends, for liqui dating the instalments on the New Loan and f unding of Exchequer Bills. To this circumstance must be ascribed the increase in the public deposits and other securities, and the diminution in the Private deposits. As the money-market has be come easier, it is reasonably expected, however, that the next return will be less discouraging ; but as further payments on the New Loan have to be made on the 10th inst., and the settlement in Con -6°13 je fixed for about the same date, the active u nput4d for discount accommodation will no doubt revive. There is a small addition to the stock of bullion, and as large sums are known to be on thei r way from Australia, a further augmentation may soon take place. Active Circulation Increase .

F. DONE AT DONCASTER. That " dres , ,ing" which the fielders received at Don• caster :is not likely to be soon forgotten. They had a preci on s hot time of it, and were right glad when the meet:4l.g was brought to an ending post. The sport was, t sith only two exc,ptions, utterly unimportant.. The . 13 "opeful Stakes, however, excited some interest, and wr,as won by Saunterer, as smart a 2-year old as ever lo 3ked through a bridle. Siunterer followed up his atm ecess by carrying off the Two-Year-Old Stakes at This sk. The Doncaster Handicap occasioned acme brisk batting at the post. Squire Watt, a large, lum bering, but not an ill looking animal withal, was a tremeatious favourite ; he, however, proved totally un worthy of the support which he received. He rm.y figura :more respectably with a man on his back, fur certai boy the little torn-tit of a child that rode him was incap aible of " getting him out." Be this as it may, I am inclined to fancy Squire Watt's boasted racing pre tensiosns are merely a delusion and a snare. Mr. Morris gave the ring a good turn with Coseey, and right glad was I to see his success, for there is not a more !straightforward man on the turf, pick them where you vAll. Gr temlus Eiuriens, whom the " Wizard of the North" pronownced to be the best two-year old he ever tried, is now siegraded to the rank of a common plater. lie achieved his first victory at Doncaster. His opponents, however, scarcely possessed a leather flapping medio crity. How are the mighty fallen This Starters and the Jockeys again fell out at Don caster, and I have no hesitation in saying that I never behel dso disgraceful a disobedience of orders as that dispirlyed by certain riders for the Hopeful Stakes. The startsir could not get the horses fairly together, and h:s patier ice and temper were sorely tried. I am informed that the subject will be brought before the Jockey Club, and doubtless some very severe measure will be adopted to prevent the frequent occurrence of false starts. I did not get so far north as Thirsk, and cannot there fore discourse upon the sport celebrated in that locality. Attention is now directed to the approaching meeting at Epsom. I shall not state my opinion on the proba bilities; until Monday, when I shall have received my letters of advice from the country. Apiil 5. A FRESH MAN. TUE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. MAURITIUS v. DIEGO GARCIA. Some of the newspapers Lave been advocating the dif ferent routes for the conveyance of the mails to Aus tralia, e,pe6ally that by Sut z, and direct from thence to Melbourne, stopping to coal at Diego Garcia. This route via Suez is no doubt by far the shortest and mokt desirable ; but why coal at Diego Garcia and not at. Mauritius ? Diego Garcia is a small island in lat. 7 deg. south, and long. 72 deg. east, only tan feet above the level of the sea, producing nothing but cocoanut trees. Water, which is brackish, can only be obtained by digging wells. There are no inhabitants except a few fishermen. Toe sea for several hundred miles to the westward of it abounds in coral shoals, making the approach to it in that direction most dangerous. There is, of course, no establishment there for the purpose of coaling a steamer, and no lighthouse to enable a vessel to make the island and enter the harbour during the night ; and for two months in the year the weather is generally so thick that Oe island can scarcely be seen at daylight. The distance from Diego Garcia in direct line to King George's Sound is 3,113 miles; but in consequence of the south•east trade wind, which blows very strong, with a high sea, being directly against the course to King George's Sound, the steamer would have to steer to Use southward under fore and aft sails, and steam till she got to the southward of lat. 30 deg. south. She would then be able to proceed direct to Melbourne, but by this deviation she would increase the distance to about 3,350 miles. In steering south from Diego Garcia she would pass through the locality most liable to hurricanes, and, in case of need, no repairs could be effected at such an island, nor any vessel found to carry on her nails and passengers. _ Mauritius, on the other band, has everything to recommend it as a coaling station. lt is in lat. 20 deg. south, long. 57 deg. east ; is only 240 miles further from Aden than is Diego Garcia. On the Ist of December last four lights were exhibited on the island. The highest is a revolving light, 866 feet above the level of the sea, visible about 25 miles. There are two lights at the entrance of the harbour. A steamer can go in at any hour alongside the coal hulk and begin to coal. Fresh water is brought alongside in tanks. Provisions, fruit, and vegetables of all kinds are in great abundance. All damage sustained at sea can be repaired; pas--engers can have excellent accommodation on shore while the ship is coaling, an% the harbour is perfectly safe at all times. Hurricane■ seldom extend so far west as Mau ritius ; and steam-ships would in three days after leavir g the island be to the southward of 30 deg. of south 'au tryle, making rapid progress towards Melbourne. The mails are now brought from London to Days. hrs. Sup zin Suez to Mauritius is 3,472 miles, at,lo knots 14 12 Mauritius to Melbourne is 4,680 miles, at 10 19 12 1 0 knots Coaling at Mauritius London to Melbourne 45 0 And to Mauritius in The Cape of Good Hope is only 2,300 miles from Mauritius, and a branch steamer could carry the mails there in 9 days 12 hours from Mauritius ; say from London to Cape Town in 34 days, or to Algoa Bay in 81 days. If such an arrangement were carried out by Govern ment it ought surely to satisfy all parties concerned, as it would combine speed and economy in the transmission of the mails to all our eastern colonies. —Correspondent 010:4 Morning Herald.

RILSSIA. The official report of the Emperor's trip to Fin land shows that he left St. Petersburg on the after noon of the 21st of March, stomped the following morning in Friedrichshamm to inspect the corps of Finland cadets and to visit a battery that had last year been engaged with the English, and left again the same day for Helsingfors, wherehe arrived early on the morning of the 23d. At 10 o'clock the Em peror attended mass in the church of the palace there, and then received the Senate, the officers of the garrison, ac., on which occasion the citizens of the town, according to Russian custom, brought him, as a stranger just arrived, bread and salt. The Emperor subsequently visited the Greek and Lutheran churches, the University, the mili tary hospitals, and all the batteries on the right flank of the line of defence.. The Emperor was ao companied by his brothers the Grand Dukes Con stantine, Nicholas, and Michael ; General Todtle ben did not accompany the Imperial party, as has been reported, but remained babied in Crenstadt.. Whilst Grand Duke the Emperor was Chancellor of the University of Finland, and on every opportu nity that presented itself showed a great amount of good will towards theFinlanders,with whom he is very popular ; the last instance of his peculiar "mo narchial goodwili" towards Finland. was his corn mand issued in last year that three posts as pages in the Imperial service should be set apart for the sons and descendants of such Findlanders as have attained the highest military and civil rank. The visit of the Emperor to Helsingfors was by no means an unexpected one. The Emperor was ex pected back in St. Petersburg by the 30th, from his Finland trip. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY). The LORD CHANCELLOR t,ok his seat on the woolsack at five o'clnek. Lord BERNERS presented a petition against any al teration in the Oath of Abjuration. Petitions against the abolition of Church-rates until an equivalent had been provided were presented by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Derby, Lord Redesdale, and several other peers. OUT-PENSIONERS' BILL. On the motion of Lord PANHURE, this bill passed through .committee. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. On the order of the day for going into committee upon this bill. The Earl a DERBY said he wished to call their lord ships' attention to one or two points in the bill which he thought very objectionable. It would be in the recol lection of the house that on the second reading of the bill he stated his concurrence in the general objects of the measure. lie had, however, considerable doubts as to the efficiency of the machinery proposed to effect those objects. He had received many communications from various quarters upon this subject which tended greatly to confirm him in his impressions. He bad certainly received letters from some farmers, containing objec tions to the principles of the bill, but he thought, how ever, that considerable misapprehension was entertained by such parties as to the operations of such measure, for be entertained no doubt whatever but that the objects in view, if attainable, would be eminently beneficial. He wholly objected to the employment of the poor-law board in collecting the information. That board, he thought, was established for a totally different object, and were unfit for the discharge of such duties. As some prejudices exi4ed in different parts of the country, it was of course desirable t o remove everything objection able from the bill calculated to remove those prejudices. He would propose that the information sought for should be obtained through the petty sessions, whose courts were scattered throughout the country. Those courts possessed a peculiar facility for obtaining such information as to the local circumstances of the various agricultural districts. He also thought that the measure ought to be amended in respect to the mode proposed for sending out, for re turns, and for their return. He was of opinion that the Board of Trade should give'due notice of the informa tion required by the issue of a circular :at particular periods of the year. The Board of Trade should give an estimate of the average crops and their average value. The schedules also should be more simplified by the re duction of columns. They should be as simple as possible. The noble earl then stated some other ob jections to the bill, and said he thought it better to state his opinions candidly before proceeding to consider the bill, Lord SPANLEY of ALDERLEY thought the Poor lair Board and the Board of Guardians were the most Efficient machinery that could be proposed to procure the information Bought for under the bill. The magistrates at petty sessions were by no means so well calculated to carry out the provisions of the bill as the Poorlaw Board. (Hear.) He was very anxious to get the returns as early as possible ' and therefore he thought that the Ist of June should he fixed as the, day for receiving the estimate of the crops planted; but if their lordships wished be should not object to the ISt of July being the day fixed on 'which the guardians should forward their returns to the Poor law Board: He thought it very desirable that means should exist by which it could be learned what sort of a crop bad been o,rown in certain years, and also whether the crop was light or heavy. If the provisions of this bill were fully carried out, this information would exist in the early part of November in each year after the passing of the act. The noble lord concluded by stating that in com mittee he should feel great pleasure in explaining to any of their lordships the other portions of the bill. After a lengthened discussion, in which the' Earl of Hardwicke, the. Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Elise mere, Earl Grey, Lord Overdone, and Lord Stanley of Alderley took part, the house went into committee on the bill. 'On clause 1, the Earl of DERBY moved, as an amendment, to leame out of the dative the words a Poor law Board,'! for the purpose of substituting the, ‘.‘ , Board of Trade." - Lord FEVERSHAAT should support the amendment, although he was entirely in favour of the principle of the bill. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY and Lord BER NERS supported he clause. The committee divided upon the original question, and there appeared— Contents - ls Non-contents . . Majority The amendment was consequently negatived. On clause 2, on the motion of the Marquis of SALIS BURY, it was agreed that the returns should be made not later than the Ist of September. The-clause was agreed to, and dailies 3,4, 5, and 6 were agreed to without opposition. :base 7, alter a few remarks from the Earl of EL LENTOROUGH, was then agreed to, as were also clauses 8,9, 10, and 11. Oa clause 12, the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH com plained of the expense of carrying the act into effect, which would not be less than 100,000/. a year. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he believed the expense would - not mad 25,0001. per annum. The clause was then agreed to, as were the remaining clauses and schedules. Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Doddington Rectory Division ; Lancaster Gas ; Lin coln Water ; Milford Junction Railway ;- Weymouth and Melcombe Regis Gas. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON presented a petition from Australia ' praying that her Majesty would be pleased to direct that a postal communication be established be. tween England and the colony, by the nearest route, and at a speed of not less than ten knots, or nautical miles, per hour. THE EXPORTATION OF IRON. Mr. THORNELY asked , the Secretary of the Trea sury whether, a treaty of peace having been signed at Paris, the-boat; required to be given at the Custom Houses oa the exportation of iron, and of certain other manufactured articles, might not now be dispensed with? Mr. WILSON —At present he could not answer the question [ but if the hon. member would repeat it on another *ening, he would give him a reply. ------ . -- , - FOREIGN TROOPS IN ENGLISH PAN - Mr. OTWAY gave notice that on Monday he should ask the Under. Secretary of Warithe numerical strength of foreign troops_ in the pay of thi s country, and what was to . be their future destination. - - • ABSENCE OF HEADS OF'.2DEPARTMENTS. Sir .t. PAXINGTON complained of the absence of the Under Secretary for 'War at that hour, which pre vented his putting .a question to him orsome importance. Mr. LABOUGHER-E said the hon. gentleman was absent in consequence of 'a domestic affliction. Sir J." PAKINGTON said the answer of the right hen. gentleman was satisfactory. " -... VIE LATE ABDUCTION CASE. Mr. HILDYARD as k e d t h e Fi rs t L or d o f th e Tree- - Bury whether the attention of the Government had been directed to the case of Susannah Evans, a girl of id years of age, conveyed to Hallberg ler the - purpose of prostitution ; and whether, in -consequence of the dis closures elicited in the investigation of that case before Sir It. Carden, any correspondence had taken . place be tween the Foreign, Secretary and. Colonel Hodges, the British Consul at Hamburg? Sir G. GREY said that the attention of the Govern ment had been directed to this case. Despatches from Col. Hodges, the British Consul at Hamburg, relative to this case, had been received at the Foreign-office, and had been transferred to the Home Secretary's De partment. These despatches detailed what Col. Hodges had done with reference to this case, and also cases of a similar . character, though not -of so aggravated a nature, that had come under his notice. From these desPatches it appeared that an extensive traffic, for so it might be called, of this disgraceful character was cat .. . ried on between the ports of Hull, Liverpool, London,. and Hamburg. He (Sir G. Grey) had communicated with the mayors of these places, and he hoped shortly to be able to take such measures as would obstriict similar proceedings for the future. (Cheer.) __METROPOLIS LOC&L MANAGEMENT Acr. Mr. W. WILLIAMS asked the Attorney-General whether he intended to proceed with the bill to amend the Metropolis LOcal Management Act ; and if not, he asked Sir B. Hall what means he intended to adopt to re move the difficulty caused by conflicting opinions rer. specting the provisions in the said act as regarded the election of parish officers ? Sir B. HALL, in - tbe absence of the Attorney• Gen eral, answered the question. That hoz). and learned gentleman introduced this bill on the representation of certain members of that house, with relation to this question. As soon as he did it objections were taken to it, and it was not now his inten tion to proceed with it. The hon. member for Lambeth had asked him '(Sir B. Hall) if he intended to take %ny steps to remove the difficulty that was said to exist relative to conflicting opinions as to the election of parish officers. The object of the Metropolis Local Management Act was to supersede all existing vestries at the time of its passing, and to do that he copied into the bill a clause from Hobbouse's Act, and which clause the hon, member for Lambeth supported. He (Sir B. Hall) suggested that an amicable suit (if he might so call it) should be taken to the Court of Queen's Ben.th for the decision of the judges on the difficulty complained of, and that then,if the decision of the judger Was contrary to 'what he intended, and he believed was the toe constr no tion of the clause, on any representation being made to him to that effect be would consider the case, and would introduce a bill to settle the question. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE condemned the conduct of the Government with reference to this act,'and the conduct of the right hon. baronet in recommending litigation to the various parishes in the 'metropolis. He described this act ag must unpopular, and called upon the house not to let the learned Attorney-General withdraw the bill now before the house. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL charged the hon. member for Finsbury with condemcing this bill when it was introduced as an interference with popular rights, and finding the parishes of the metropolis concurred with him, he (the Attorney-General) had decided on withdrawing the bill. The object. of. this bill was to enable the new vestries to interfere with the poor and the Church, and so he framed this bill. If the honourable member for Finsbury would bring in a better bill to solve the difficulty complained of and save litigation, he (the Attorney-Genera!) would be happy to support him. After some remarks from Mr. WILKINSON, the subject dropped. CENTRAL AMERICA. Viscount GODERICLI waked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether a document, which had recently ap- peared, purporting to be a despatch written by the Bri tish Minister at Washington to the Secretary of State of the United .States, on the 27th day of February last, with reference to the disputes between this country and thelJnited States on thesubject of Central America, we authentic ? The hon. viscount having read the despatch which had reference to the arbitration relative to the Clay ton-Bul wer treaty, Mr. GLADSTONE, before the question was answered, called the attention of the house to the position the house was placed in with reference to the Central Ame rican question, in the course of which he referred to the first correspondence between the two Governments en the k übj ect, and what had occurred in that house relative to the production of the correspondence. He had no wish to interfere with the discretion of pro- ducing certa;n documents ; but although the noble lord had inforrned.the house in February the papers should be produced, they had not yet been laid on the table of the house ; and the last excuse was that the Foreiga office heti been so much engaged they bad not been able to get them ready. That ought not to be an excuse for their non-production, and he urged on the noble lord the injury likely to result from it. He believed the present American 14.1inisLer in this country was armed with suf ficient powers to carry out the intentions of his coun try. He hoped, however, that nothing would occur to prevent the present kindly relations between the two countries. - Lord PALMERSTON said the right hon. geitleman knew the constitution of the various departments of the Government sufficient to know that they could not be augmented momentarily to meet temporary pressure. The right hon. gentleman had spoken lightly of the im• portant duties that had lately engaged the attention of the Foreign Department. Mr. GLADSTONE said he had not done so. Lord PALMERSTON said he begged the righthon. gentleman's pardon, but he bad. (Laughter.) After detailing the amount of business that the Foreign-office had bad lately to discharge, he said he should not then enter into the queation, but wait until the oorrevon deuce had been laid on the table of the house, which he hoped would be in a few days. THE CRIMEAN COMMISSION REPORT. Mr. PALK asked it the officers of the Commissariat Departinent who considered their conduct inculpated by that report might appear before the Military Board of Inquiry now sitting, and defend their conduct, as well as those gallant officers whose names had been so pro. minently put before the public by that report? Lord PALMERSTON said yes. SIR C. NAPIER AND THE CAPTURE OF ACRE. On the motion for going into supply, Sir J. GRAHAM said—Sir,l should rather have desired to observe silence than unnecessarily to obstruct the basi-- ness of this house by taking advantage of the opportunity which the motiott before the hence for going into supply usually gives to members, were not the question a matter that personally concerns myself. The honogr of every mem ber of this house is regarded by the house as its own pro- perty, arid Ale the day therefore of eyeryi- member to de fend-himeelffrom attack when not only his honour is as- Sailed, but his veracity impeached. I should gladly have avoided the revival of the unhappy controversy which oc • - curred between myself and the hon. and gallant member for Southwark. The house have heard enough, and more than enough, of that unhappy affair, and I am sure it is the last of my wishes needlessly to revive it. But, sir, (luring the early part of the recess a letter appeared in the Tioes, signed by the hon. and gallant member, which I will read, and as the name of the hon. and gallant admiral the member for Gloucester is also mentioned, it is utterly im possible for us, consistently with our duty, net to make comments upon and to substantiate our veracity. The letter is in these terms`-- " Sir,—Sir James Graham stated iu his speech that I had advised Sir Robert Stopferd not' to attack Acre ; and Ad miral Berkeley went further, and said that the night before rteld Sir "Robert Stopford that if he sent me into the posi tion marked out fur me my ships w ou ld no t sw i m f or h a lf au hour. ' My reply -is not correctly repeated, and I have te request you will give insertion to this letter. " I stated in my reply that Upon my honour I did no such thing ; and I now beg to say that there is not one word of truth, or even a shadow of truth, in those statements ; they were getup to damage me. "I remain your obedient , servaut, March 15." " 011ARLES NAPIER. Now, Sir, that letter is not only a direct impeachment of our veracity, but it also ascribes motives to our conduct of the darkest and most malignant kind. The house will du me the justieir to remember that to all the numerous at teicks that the hon. and gallant member for Southwark has thought it consistent with his duty to make upon me— whether in letters or in speeches in taverns or on the heist inga—l 'tweet gtv'e thenathe least notice excepting in my place: in Perliament, and thenonly when placed on my de- fence. I will now call attention to what were the allege tides made by my hon. and gallant friend and myself in the former debates, and I will point out to the house the evi dence which, as I think, will fully sustain those allega tions. As the question is to matters of fact, and the evi dence to he adduced in support of them, I must rely on the justice and patience of the house to listen to what I shall bring forward in support of my allegations. And here; be fore I proceed to addace evidence, lam anxious to preface what I am about to say with regard to naval operations before Acre with some observations of my own. I give to' the honourable and gallant admiral the utmost praise for his gallantry and ability in Syria on land ; he went even beyond the limits of his commission in conduct ing the military operations. I give him the utmost credit for the effect of those operations in sustaining British in fluence in Syria, by the expulsion of the Egyptian force from Syria. The matter which rests between the gallant admiral and myself is as to the naval operations before Acre, and the question arises out of the discussion which took place as to the conduct of the hon. and gallant officer when he commanded the Baltic fleet. I mad e th en some observations to the effect that I thought there existed an erroneous impression that the plan of the naval attack on Acre was tine to the hon. and gallant, officer—au erroneous impression that the attack tools place from his counsel and advice; but that I had reason to believe from recent inquiries that the hon. and gallant officer, so far from h av ing counselled that attack, had objected to it, and that Sir It. Stopford, th e a d m i ra l com mandin g in h attack in. opp os iti on • t o • the oinien P of the honour- Syria, and Sir C. S m i th, came- to the decision to make he able and officer. gallant car. That was my first. allegation. The next 'allegation was as to the attack, and the posi tion pointed out by Admiral Stopford fur the different ships to take up ; that to the ship of the hon. and gallant admiral, the Powerful, a particularposition was assigned— the south-west angle of the forts that the lion, and gallant officer objected to that position, and said if his ship was placed there it would be sunk in half an hour. The next allegation was that on the following day, when the attack were made, the hon. and gallautaefficer did not carry into execution A,diniralStopford's directions ; that he did not takeitei the position assigned to his ship, Wet at a consider. able distance and in a less exposed situation ; and that by so vielatiug the order of the commander-in-chief, he threw the whole larval operalfens into confusion. The fourth allegation was, that the capture of Acre did not take place immediately in Consequence . of the bombardment, but was effected by the landing of. , ttoops, in which the hon. and gallant admiral took ne part. The last allegation was, that en the morning after the action the lion. and gallant ad niiral came on the quarterdeck of Admiral Stoptord's ships and expressed a hope that Admiral Stopford was satis fied with his conduct, and that Admiral Stopford, without giving the axpress terms, intimated that lie was anything but satisfied with the position tenon by him. These are the 'Charges to which the hoe. cud gallant admiral has pledged his honour there is neither truth nor the shadow of truth.' To provenly allegations the best evidence aught to be resorted to, and that would be the evidence. of Ad miral Stopford, but he is no more. The documents and papers 'of Admiral Stopford would have been irresistible- I made aleplication to his widow, but. I find that-tile ; papers are under seal, in the hands of executors, and that all the executors are not in England. The parcel cannot be opened, nor the evidence produced. The secretary of Admiral Stopford is also dead. The next best witness would be Admiral Fanshawe, who was cognisant of the whole prooeedings, but he is now in a distant land. The doctor would be an important witness, but be is also dead. Then there only remains evidence either of a secondary character or not of the best character. The hon. and gallant admiral (Berkeley) was the officer in command of a line-of-battle ship during the whole of the operations. He was cogniaant of - the greater part of the transactions, and he was my informant in public and in private.
