MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. 11 , • CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week there has been very little i mprovement in the general state of trade through ?lit the manufacturing districts. At Leeds there l icto been no material increase in the dealings in Woollen cloths. At Bradford a more active inquiry ! W A prevailed for spring goods, but the operations olive not been extensive. At Manchester the ad hoes from America have almost caused a suspension ° f business, and the tone of the market has in some I ° o 4Bllre been influenced by the late suspensions in 4 Levant trade at Marseilles. Business at 44 ioester has been of a more favourable character r3 Wing to the improvement in the weather. In the t g rdware districts there has been little change to ll °tioe, business at Birmingham, Sheffield, and W olverhampton having been confined almost ex clOsively to home requirements. 4 fair amount of business was reported in the L iverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices continued firm. The sales were 10,000 bales. To-morrow, the 30th inst., a call of £2 per share, , t nlounting to £50,000, is due on the Cape Town 11 ftilway and Dock Shares. About £82,000 in gold was withdrawn from the i lltok of England on Saturday for exportation. The Seine has arrived from the West Indies with 487,643, nearly all in silver. A. meeting of the creditors of Messrs. C. A. and 4 * Ferguson, of-Mill-wall, will take place to-morrow the 30th inst. ~,.A steady business is transacted in tile general discount market, but as accommodation can be l'btained as low as 4,1 per cent., the inquiries at the ink of England are still comparatively limited, "ring the next few days, however, more firmness d activity are expected, owing to the Stock Exchange settlements, and the preparation for the engagements due on Saturday next, the 4th of the month, which are undersrood to be rather exten- A moderate business has been transacted in the 'market for Public Securities to-day, but speculation 'outinues dull in consequence of the operators berg disinelined to enter into extensive engage ments while American affairs remain in such an u ncertain state. Consols, however, in consequence a few sales, have receded to 914 for money and le ftunt.

On Saturday, a meeting of old Westminster eholars was held in the schoolroom, Little Dean's /ard, for the purpose of considering the report of the committee appointed in June last to confer with the Dean and Chapter on the state and condition at the school and college, with a view to improve them on their present, or to ascertain a fit and toper site elsewhere. The Very Rev, the Dean of Westminster occupied the chair. The committee made, in regard to the first portion of their inquiry, tineteen proposals to the Dean and Chapter, the Nbstance of which was that there should be a free communication between Great and Little Dean's ptrd, an d that a railing should be the fence etween the latter and the college garden, which !'bould be open to the boys • and the cricket ground, In Vincent-square, should be planted with trees, and -covered play-ground made at the school, in lieu ';_f the cloisters ; and the school itself should better be glazed and ventilated, better warmed in cold "Weather, and generally kept in better repair; that the discipline of the school be retained a' hereto fore; that the Westminster play should be retained; and that the head and under masters should be Westminster men. To most of these recommenda tions the Dean and Chapter had given their assent. 4 iley, however, declined to remove the obstructions between Great and Little Dean's-yard, or to allow the boys into the college garden. With respect ;','? the play, the statutes of the college requi red 9e p er f orm ance at Christmas of. a Latin and -v- , nglish play, either tragedy or comedy, by the scholars and choristers, with a view to their im- Provement in pronunciation and action ; but in car rying out that rule they thought they were bound to remember that the moral and religious interests of the school must be their first consideration. The appointment of the masters was not vested in the eapitular body. With respect to the second part of the inquiry, there was a difference in the commit tee's opinion, but they were unanimous in thinking that, even should it be desirable to change the site of the school, there were not available funds suffi tient to enable them to carry out that object on even the moderate scale recommended by the Dean litkel Chapter. The report having been presented to the meeting by Sir David Dundas, The Dean of WESTMINSTER said, on behalf of the Chapter, they renounced all purpose and in tention of changing the site of the school—(cheers) "—and threw themselves heartily into the endeavour to make the dormitories light and comfortable, and had already provided a covered play-ground for the use of the boys. (Cheers.) , Sir D. DUNDAS, M.P., considered that the best thanks of all present were due to the Very Rev. the Dean, for calling them together t o consider how the school was to be improved. The report having been adopted, the proceedings terminated. Miss- Coutti comes to town to-day from Holly ;Age, Highgate, for the season. THE ODD MAN.—In the parish of Cambuslang, in Scotland, the population has been ascertained to amount to 3,647; the females numbering 1,823, and the males 1,824. A schism has taken place in the Baptist chapel at Southampton, the pastor of which is the Rev. Mr. SPurgr on, a brother of the London preacher of that name. The schism has arisen respecting doctrinal points. Ths Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, and about 300 of his adherents, remove to the Carlton-rooms until a new chapel is built. The London Mr. Spurgeon Ns ill preach in Southampton text Wednesday, and assist his brother in inaugurating %he new movement there. It is in contemplation to build a new Baptist chapel in the centre of the High-street, Southampton. The prizes destined for distribution among the btembers of the Crystal Palace Art Union attract a constant crowd round the glass case in which they are ?xhibited.

Nearly all kinds were a slow sale, in some instances, prices had a drooping ten dency. Fine barley, as well as oats, beans, and peas moved off steadily at extreme rates. The Your trade was in a very inactive state. Prices of wheat on the Continent, as well as in the United States, have ruled in favour of buyers. Most other descriptions of produce, however, have commanded full quotations. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were limited. From abroad we received 61,942 quar ters of wheat, 9,129 barley, 25,985 oats, 2,480 beana, 42 peas, 400 tares, 23,385 linseed, 11,883, rapeseed, 120 sun dries, 5,814 sacks, and 10,119 barrels of flour: Turnip,White,p.bus 358 to 381 Swede —s —8 litistard, Brown Bs 12s White, new 5s 101 Tares, Old per quarter 36s 40s Canary, per quarter 30s 50s Rye grass, new 26s 28s Clover, Red Eng., et 6os 74s White Foreign Red.... 45s 85s • White. 654 81s Trefoil, new. 2os 28s 6 7 75 80 65 70 65 70 41 5* TALLOW. Fresh up to-day the receipts of English wheat were again much restricted, but, generally speaking, the samples on offer were in tolerably dry condition. All good and fine dry qoalities met a steady, but far from active sale, and prices were well supported. For inferior descriptions the demand was in a very slugg!sh state, but without leading to any quotable change in their value. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. In most descriptions a fair retail business was transacted, at the rates current on this day se'nnight to ls. per quarter decline. Floating cargoes of grain were in little request, yet there is no alteration to notice in their value compared with last week. Malting barley was in good request, and prices had an upward tendency. Other kinds changed hands to a limited extent on former terms. The business passing in malt was much restricted, at late quotations. All kinds of oats moved off steadily, and prices were fully maintained. The show of beans was very limited, and the demand for them ruled active, at Is. per quarter more money. Grey peas were quite as dear as on Monday last. Other sorts changed hands slowly, on former terms. The flour trade ruled inactive, and; in some instances, the quotations were Ns ith difficulty supported. Town made was reduced 2s. per sack.

Sales gene rally were concluded at about last week's prices. The receipts of beasts fresh up this morning from our grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably good, both as to number and quality. Prime Scots and crosses commanded a steady sale, at fully last Monday's currency; otherwise the beef trade was less active, on for mer terms. The best Scots realised 5s per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, the arrivals of beasts amounted to 2,000 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 500 Scots and crosses. We were but moderately supplied with all breeds of sheep; nevertheless, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at barely last Monday's quotations. The best old Downs, in the wool, realised 5s 10d, out )f the wool, 55 per Blbs. Good and prime lambs sold steadily, at full prices. In ferior breeds, however, were dull. About 240 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. There was only a limited sale for calves, at last Monday's currency—being a decline, compared with Thurs day, of 2d per 81bs.

A letter from Posen says :—There is no doubt that the Government was temporizing, just to gather sufficient troops unaffected by their stay in the Polish capital, which generally converts true hearted Russians into Poles. There were only 22,000 troops in Warsaw during the first manifesta tion, on the 25th of February; with that number Gortschakoff durst not_ stop the famous proces s i on ; but now the thing is quite different.. The garrison of Warsaw is above 56,000; with that number they may charge, indeed, the unarmed population, which, excluding the military and officials, amcunt hardly to twice as many. As in that number are at least half women and a quarter children, the Russians had on the last occasion decidedly one soldier to one man at Warsaw. The Czar ,publishes before Europe that he is going to grant a Constitution, yet he dissolves even the Agricultural Association ; he guarantees nationality, and his Government prohibits under penalty of death the wearing of the national costume—nay, even mourning. Was there ever a Government so barbarous as to resort to such a prohibition, and this, too, in the civilised 19th century ? Indeed, if you had lost your own child you would be punished, perhaps shot, if you dared to wear mourning. The last butchery was just for that crime, which hence forward will immortalise tha liberal and kind hearted Alexander 11. The people went in proces sion to ask Gortschakolf to allow the Agricultural Society to remain and maintain public order, and on this occasion they were so dispersed ; it appears that everything was prearranged. The troops, composed chiefly of cuirassiers and Cossacks and some infantry (lately introduced into the capital), were screened behind and outside the enormous building now occupied by the Governor- General, and as that splendid palace stands in the centre, they were sure they could always get at the populace as they called. Previous to the butchery these troops were made perfectly drunk, to give them courage to charge the unarmed crowd, and to that state you must ascribe the number of wounded on the part of the Russians. Positively they were so drunk as not to know the enemy from the foe. They were harangued to kill everybody that wore mourning or the national dress, and that, too, with out distinction of age or sex, and they did charge right and left, and often fell upon their own men, especially when another part of the troops came from the opposite direction. The people could not kill any, for none had even a stick, the Governor having formerly prohibited such a weapon under the pretext that it might be ' loaded.' So, if there be dead er wounded on the part of the Russians, it must be owing to the fact alluded to, or because they could not tell Europe that there are above 200 wounded and dead on the part of the Poles, and not one Russian. But such really is the case as far as the action of the crowd is concerned, the troops, charging to the terrible shout "Hurrah, hurrah," blindly drunk. In such a state, or owing to their fall, they might, indeed, kill their own or wound themselves. 1 write it from an account of an eye witness, who had been dreadfully hurt by being pressed by the crowd, in its struggle, to the wall.) It is a positive fact that the Russian troops who had been long in Warsaw refused to charge on the unarmed, and the Artillery to fire, and to this fact must be ascribed the impunity so long enjoyed by the citizens of Warsaw ; otherwise 22,000 were quite enough to bayonet the whole procession. Poor Captain Popoff was shot within 24 hours for having refused to charge 'with his troops the crowd that was at that time pass ing the Grand Theatre. An aide-de-camp ordered him to do so in the name of the Czar. 'No, Sir, I do not charge the unarmed,' said be; lam not a butcher, for he kills the beast not out of humour, but to feed the people. A gallant offi cer never draws his sword against the unarmed, women, and children. I know what waits me, so you had better report that, having refused to charge on the unarmed, Captain Popoff tore off his epau lettes and broke kis sword ;' and, poor man, he died as a hero. Many of the officers dipped their handkerchiefs in his blood, and carried them about as mementos of true Russian courage and honour. Two other officers, of lower rank, were also thus executed; all officers present on the ground in the citadel cried during that dreadful ceremony ; not one had dry eyes, not even the greatest enemies of the Pole, for they, too, under stood military honour. I cannot give you further details, for, in fact, nobody knows how many have fallen. The military carry off the dead and the wounded, but the fact is that all the large square before the Prince's Palace was covered with blood. The troops, about 3,000, first discharged a bout portant into the thick of the crowd, and then sharged both with the bayonet and lance (for more than two regiments of Cossacks had honourable part in that glorious battle-field). First Alexander IL played farce before Europe, and now he performs tragedies with terrible effect. Yet Europe is still his dupe. They always belieVe he is kindly and liberally inclined. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—SERIOUS DAMAGE THROUGH A DRUNKEN CABMAN.—John Fitzpatrick, a cab driver, in the employ of Mr. Nunn, cab-master,-was charged, before Mr. Mansfield, with damaging the horse and brougham of Mr. Evans, of 52, Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square. Edwin Belton, coachman to Mr. Evans, said, that on Saturday night he was driving the brougham through Grosvenor-street, three ladies being in it at the time, and who fortunately escaped, when the defendant, who was drunk, drove his horse right into his horse and brougham. The horse was seriously injured, had lost a great deal of blood, and in fact was " doubled up." Wiggins, a constable, said the defendant was drunk. Mr. Mansfield asked the witness what he thought the amount of damago was. The witness said he thought about £lO to the brougham, and £2O to the horse. Mr. Mansfield asked to see the defendant's license, and observed thai it was free from endorsements. The defendant's wife said her husband had broken his thigh twelve months ago, and that a little drink affected him. He had met a few friends the previous day, and they had induced him to take some drink. She hoped his worship would deal mercifully with him. Mr. Mansfield said, under the circumstances, he should not feel warranted in fining him less than 405., or a monites imprisonment ; the owner of the horse and brougham had his remedy against the defendant's master. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Mary Sheriff, a woman about 25 years of age, of dissipated appearance, with a small and sickly baby in her arms, who has been frequently at this Court for being drunk and disorderly, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing and swallowing two sovereigns, the moneys of alabourer named Gallavan. The parties live in an Irish colony called the Green yard, Blue Anchor-yard, Rosemary-lane, where serious disturbances have often taken place. On Saturday night Gallavan, who had been quarrelling with his wife for a fortnight, came home intoxicated, and his wife, suspecting he had money, directed her daughter, a young girl, to search his pockets, and she took from them two sovereigns which the mother told her to take care of. At one o'clock on Sunday morning the prisoner, who lives next door to the Gallavan's, came into their house, and hearing that the girl had two sovereigns, said, show them to me, dear. This was done, and she immediately snatched them from the girl and swallowed them, one after the other. The first passed down her throat very easily, but the second stuck fast. A jug of water was procured, which she drunk, but that did hot relieve her, and she was getting black in the face, and in danger of being suffocated, when the by standers shook her, slapped her on the back most vigor ously, and the sovereign passed into her stomach. She had been very ill ever since. Mr. Woolrych inquired if the prisoner was intoxicated when she swallowed the money. Mrs. Gallavan.---She-was lying tipsy in bed all the after noon and night, and got drunk and sober again. The prisoner said if she had swallowed the sovereigns she was very sorry for it, and that she would repay the money if the prosecutrix would forgive her. Kelly, a police-constable, No. 130 H, said that the pri soner was in a very low state, and it was only a fortnight since she gave birth to the child in her arms, and she came out of prison the day before t he child we s born. Mr. Woolrych was somewhat surprised that an emetic had not been given to the prisoner directly she swallowed the gold. lie remanded her until Thursday next. ~~ ;ri~.~ Railways.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING ) The LORD CI ANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE TRAMWAY. The Earl of HARRINGTON gave notice that on Fri day he should ask a question relative to the iron railways that are at present being laid down in the streets of the metropolis. THE CRISIS IN AMERICA. The Earl of MALMESBURY rose to ask the question of which he had given private notice to the noble lord opposite relative to the state of affairs in America. Their lordships had no doubt seen the account of what had taken place, and it was deplorable that such an out break should have occurred. That war would no doubt extend over the whole country, and none would be greater sufferers than England. It was most fortunate that no blood had yet been shed, and he could not but believe that her Majesty's Government had done their utmost to obviate the great calamity that had befallen America. He therefore asked what stsps had been taken by the British Government to prevent war, and what hopes were entertained that such effort would be successful ? Lord WODEHOUSE could not but agree with the noble earl in his expressions of regret at the civil war that had broken out in America. Her Majesty's Government, after much consideration determined that it was not advisable for this country to obtrude advice upon the Government of the United States. (Cheers.) The instructions that had been given to Lord Lyons, therefore, was to express on every suit able occasion the wish of her Majesty's Government that a good understanding could be brought about between the Northern and Southern States, but at the same time care fully to avoid giving, either officially or non-officially, any advice that might wound the just susceptibilities of the American Government. With respect to the latter part of the noble lord's question, he could state that her Majesty's Government had not been in correspondence with any foreign government on the subject. RAGGED SCHOOLS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said in consequence of the report of the Education Commissioners containing a strong condemnation of ragged schools—a condemnation which, he believed,lquite unfounded—he should bring the subject under the consideration of their lordships on Mon day next. QUEEN'S PRISON BILL. This bill was read a second time. POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Lord MONTEAGLE wished for the production of a re port of the calculations on which the government had based their bill. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the production of such a document as that referred to by the noble lord was quite unusual, but he should feel great pleasure in giving the noble lord any information he might require on the subject. Lord REDESDALE inquired what would be the ex pense of carrying out the provisions of the bill. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said it was estimated that £3,000 would be quite sufficient to carry the bill into active operation. If the experiment succeeded and the operations were enlarged, then, of course, there would be a corresponding increase of expense. Lord MONTEAGLE thought the bill most objection able, as it would interfere in a very unwise manner with those institutions which had been established for the benefit of the industrious classes. The result of the measure would be the breaking up of many of the existing savings banks. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY could not agree with the noble lord that the bill would not enter into competition with existing savings banks, because the interest offered in the Post-office Savings Banks was but £2 10s., while the existing savings banks gave £3. The measure was one that removed many of the restrictions that now existed in the savings banks system, and one which he was sure the majority of their lordships would approve. The bill was read a third and passed. The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENINL) The SPE.kliElt took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. HODGSON, Who was introduced by Sir M. White Ridley and Col. Taylor, took the oaths and his seat on his election for Tynemouth. - PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Baggymoor Drainage Bill, the Ludlow and Clee Hill Railway Bill, and tho Whitehaven, Cloator, and Egre mont Railway Bill were read a third time. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Barnsley Coal Railway ; Birmingham Cana. Navigations ; Kingsto-i-uppn-Hull Docks ; Lancnshire and Yorkshire (New Line, &c.) ; Liverpool Im?rovement ; Middleton and Tonge Improvement ; Monmouthshire Rail way and Canal (Lease, &c.), changed from Monmouthshire Railway and Canal (Purchase, &c.) ; Monmouthshire Rail. way and Canal (New Lines, &c.) ; Oswestry, Ellesmere, and Whitchurch Railway; Parsonstown and Portumna Bridge Railway, South Yorkshire Railway (Keadby Exten sion), Sowerby Bridge Gas, Thorne Moor Drainage, &c., and Westminster Improvements. The following bills from the Lords were read a second time :—Dewsbury and Batley Gas, Isle of Wight Water, Swansea Gas, Uxbridge Gas, and West Cornwall Railway. LEEDS AND EALAND ROAD BILL. Mr. WRIGHTSON moved that this bill be recommitted to the former committee, with leave to sit and proceed on Wednesday, the Ist day of May next, at 12 o'clock. CCIOIICIPENNANT MICI Mr. BAIN1!S opposed the motion, and the further consideration of the bill was postponed till to-morrow. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented praying for Parliamen tary reform, in favour of the budget, and reduction in the national expenditure ; for the appointment of Roman Catholic chaplains in workhouses, and for improved educa• tion of Roman Catholics in Ireland ; for the sale of a single bottle of spirits or wine by wholesale dealers. THE CONFEDERATED SLATES OF AMERICA. Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked the hon. member for Gal way (Mr. Gregory) whether, after the news which had been received in this country from America, he intended to persist in the motion of which he had given notice for a recognition of the confederated States. Mr. GREGORY said that he had received a letter from the noble lord the Foreign Secretary stating that it would be inconvenient to the public service if he brought forward his motion as he proposed to do to-morrow. He begged to say that he would postpone it fora fortnight. (Hear.) NEW WRIT. On the motion of Col. TAYLOR, a new writ was ordered for Montgomery, vacant by the decease of the late member, Mr. Pugh. THE BRIBERY AT BERWICK—PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS. Mr. HODGSON asked the Attorney-General if the Go vernment had formed ajudgment on the report of the com mission appointed to inquire into the alleged corrupt prac tices at. Berwick-on-Tweed election. He had been reported guilty of bribery at that election, because he had subscribed 00 to enable those sitting members to collect evidence to defend their seats. The hon. member entered into some further explanation, and concluded by repeating his question. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that this morning he had received a letter and a pamphlet from the hon. member (Mr. Hodson), and if the hon. member wished him to read these before he answered him he would repeat his question to-morrow. (Laughter.) The Government gives no direction on these subjects, and it would be on hie own responsibility that any prosecution would be instituted, and if he did not prosecute :it would be his (the Attorney- General'e) hult. (Laughter.) lle referred to the report, which he had carefully analysed, and he found that the alleged bribery of the hon. member rested upon the evi dence of a witness who had absconded, and who, if he could be found, he (the Attorney-General) could not make him speak. (Laughter.) The next ground of accusation against the hon. member was the statements made by him self to the commissioners; but he could assure the hon. member that as he had no expectation of obtaining a con viction against him, he should abstain from any prosecu tion. (Renewed Laughter ) " THE I . lr t A. , R a ß ct l e a lt f Sir F. SMITH asked t rto the Admi ra lty wheU he WRICI UPOil ittO table et the heAse a copy of .. i the correspiindence that may have taken place between the ' Admiralty and the contractors who built the Warrior, in reference to the non-fulfilment of the contract within the stipulated time, such copy having been ord ere d by th e h ouse on the 18th o f March? Lord C. PAGET said, that her Majesty's Government proposed to lay the correspondence on the table that evening. WAYS AND MEANS.—ADIOURNED-DEBATE. the Mr. in resuming the adjourned debat e on into committee of ways and means, said that the budget of the present year had a feature simi lar to that of last year, as it contained a proposition that was agreeable only to a small section of the house, but which was not acceptable to the majority, or in accordance with the feeling of the community. Besides, in reference to that proposition for the remission of the duty on paper, they had the decision of the House of Lords -against it, and there was no urgency in regard to the repeal of this tax that would justify the government in supposing • that the House of Lords would be' induced to:vome so sud denly to the adoption of what they -had rejected in so marked a mannerlast year. He objected to the conclusions as to the surplus of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he recollected the , unfortunate surplus promised last year. They were promised the latter by the reduction of the ex pense in respect to China, and the surplus for the present year was to be obtained by means of an indemnity of £750,000 from China, which he believed they would never receive. (Hdary hear.) He considered that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been guilty of a fatal error in re peating an experiment that had been admitted last year to be a mistake, in which the feelings of the country had not been consulted, and another opposition with the House of Lords was to be apprehended. (Hear, hear.) He described the *posed repeal of the paper duty as a mere link connecting Birmingham and Tiverton. He also objected to the mode in which the resolution for the • repeal of the duty on paper was to be sub mittedito the Houte of Lords, which would throw up that e t h h e o h o n us ° ;? the ofth r e e s E p x o n e h a i e t y r p o r f o r p e j o e s c e t d in to g r t e h m e i t b d d e o t. u :th e income tax • hit suppose instead of taking off the duty another wouldld.,or byQn paper, removing he the reduced duty th f a rlemtax by tea and sugar, he not be acting more in conformity with the sentiment s of 99 out of every 100 in•the vihole community. (Hear, hear.) ,He, denied that the conclusions as to a continuance of peace on the continent was justified by -events, and described all Euroree as a vast camp, and referred to the tatatement of the Prime Minister at the commencement of , the session, to show that that noble lord did not partake in the feeling of security in the maintenance of peace throughout Europe, of which some honourable members were so very sanguine. He contended that in the present state of Europe no one was desirous of removing the Government at present; and that their defeat on a single resolution of this budget did not necessitate their resignation. He did not wi s h un necessarily to draw the attention of the government to their misfortunes, but he could not help reminding them that they had already sustained a defeat. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He thought that Lord Palmerston would not act in so undignified and so unpbilosophic a manner as to resign his office, merely because a rash colleague had not been able to carry out a speculative financial object. LLE:FT SPEAILING.] HEIGHTS OF MONUMENTS AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS. For purposes of - reference and comparison, a re liable statement of the heights, in English feet, of various lofty monuments and public buildings, would be of great interest, if not of considerable value. Different authorities d'o not agree, however, as to the height of ,various well-known buildings, and this is almost equivalent to, the fact that the heights of such buildings are not exactly known. Considerable confusion has undoubtedly arisen in consequence of the different standards of measure ment adopted by various authorities,.there being at least a dozen different standards of the " foot," some of which vary two or three inches from the British unit. If we are lo credit history, the Tower of Babel at Babylon was the highest artificial structure ever erected, its altitude being stated as 680 feet, while the Tower of Belus, also built in Babylon, is re ported to have been 666 feet high. The Great Pyramid at Gizeh . is generally believed to be the highest artificial structure in existence. This belief has been founded on the statements of mea surements by M. Jomard and Mr. Perring, who, in addition to the present actual height of the pyra mid-450ft. 9in. above its true base observed that the casing stones, which are still perfect at the bottom, would, if continued to the apex, have in creased the height to 479 ft. according to M.Jomard, and to 480 ft. 9in. according to Mr. Perring. Whether the casing was ever actually completed is doubtful, and the heights of 480 ft., or thereabouts, is therefore a trigonometrical presumption, if we may say so ' • but, at all events, not a present reality. In its actual present height, as measured even from its true base (which "is considerably below the ordi nary surface of, the ground), the great pyramid stands fifth or sixth in the list of the lofty build ings in the world. Before proceeding further it may be as well to state that there are at least three buildings in an uncompleted state, if not in actual progress, the intended height of which, when finished, will greatly exceed that of any completed building now standing The cathedral at Mechlin has two towers, each 348 ft. high, but the original design included a spire upon each tower so as to increase their height to 640 ft. The Wash ington monument, at Washington, U.S., has been for some years in progress, and its intended height is 517 ft. The cathedral at Cologne will have, when completed, two spires, each 511 ft. high. The highest existing structure is, probably, the cathedral spire of Strasburg, the height of which is given variously as 465.9 ft., 468 ft., and 471 ft. English. The least of these measurements is that adopted by the French Bureau of Longitude, and we are to suppose that this is the height measured above the ground, and not from the foundations, for, in the latter case, the chimney stalk at Messrs. Townsend's Chemical Works, at Port Dundas, Glas gow, would be actually the highest structure in the world, being 468 ft. above its foundations, and 464 ft. above the ground. The chimney of Plessrs. Ten nant's works, at St. Rollox, near Port Dundas, i s 447 ft. 6 in. high from its foundations, and 432 ft. 6 in. high above the surface of the ground. The spire of St. Stephen's Church, at Vienna, is stated, on the authority of the Bureau of Longitude, to be 452 ft. 9 in. high. Other authorities have given it a few feet more, and its height has, indeed, been generally belived to be 465 ft. It is to be regretted that this fine old spire has been lately found defective, and it is not improbable that it may have to be taken down. The height of St. Peter's, Rome, from the pavement to the cross, is understood to be 458 ft., while the Bureau of Longitude give its height, " to the ball over the dome," the 433 ft. only. At all events, St. Peter's, Strasburg spire, St. Stephen's, and Messrs. Townsend's chimney are all higher than the great pyramid, whether the measurement from the foundations or that from the surface be adopted. It is questionable even if the spire of An t werp Cathedral be not as high as the great pyramid, notwithstanding that the height ef the for mer has been variously stated from 360 ft. to 466 ft. Even the spire of St. Michael's, at Hamburgh, has been 'stated to be 456 ft: high. The Bureau of Longi tude gives :it 130 metres, and Antwerp' spire 120 in height ; but the rotundity of such numbers is somewhat suspicious, and suggests approximation merely. In the same way St. Paul's is set down at 110 metres, or 360 ft. 11 in. in height; whereas its actual total height from its foundation is understood to be 404 ft., or the same as Salis bury spire. We are proceeding too fast, however, for the spire of St. Martin's, at Landahut, is re puted to be 450 ft. high (the height of the great pyramid again), although other authorities make it only 375 ft. If the height of an aqueduct, cross ing a deep ravine, can be compared to that of a church or a chimney, the ancient aqueduct at Spo letta, which is 426 ft. 6 in. high, may be named here. Amiens spire is 420 ft. high, and the prin cipal spire of the cathedral at Chatres,itself on a hill, is 403 feet. The two spires of the church at Lubeck are reputed to be 416 ft. high each. The tower of the Hotel de Ville, at Brussels, including the statue of St. Michael, which sur mounts it, is 400 ft. high. The spire of Freiburg, in Ba4len, is variously stated as 330 ft. and 3,'?0 ft. high. The dome of the Cathedral at Florence is believed to be 380 ft. high, and the highest part of Milan Cathedral 370 feet high. The l a i e t v ed to Bologna,be ft.3 n 7 o 2 w 2 s h 6 i high, and i tower, high, was, before its partial overthrow by an earth quake, considered to be as high as that at Cremona. Me height of the spire at Nordlingen is stated sbelieved variously as 345 ft. and 370 ft. That of St. Mi chael's, Coventry, is 363 ft. high. St. Barberas spire, at Breda, is believed to be 362 ft. high; and the Shoomadoo Temple, at Pegu, India, 361 ft. high. The Victoria Tower of the Houses of Parlia ment is 340 ft. high over all, the clock tower being 320 ft. St. Andrew's spire, at Brunswick, is 318 ft., and that of Norwich Cathedral, 315 ft. The tower of Lincoln Cathedral is 300 ft. high. None of the other English cathedrals, besides those already named, have spires as high as 300 ft.— The Engineer, April 26.
