Every one knows that Easter is I moveable feast, the date of which is determined by the /noon. The Council of Nice decided that .Easter Sunday glihould be always the first Sunday after the full moon falls on the 21st March. If the full moon falls on the 21st March, and that clay should be a Saturday, then Easter S unday will be on the 22d. It can never be before the 22d March, nor after the 25th April, the latter being the extreme d ate. In the present century Easter Sunday will only fall once . °, ll the 2 5th April—in ISB6. The 25th April is St. Mark's day. "ti that year Good Friday will be on the 23d April, St. 2 e ° l 'ge's day, and the Fete-Dieu on Saint-John's day. -there is an old prediction repeated by Nostradamus in his Centuries, whsoh says : Quana Georges Dieu crucifiera, Que Marc lu ressuseitera, Et Que St. Jean it portera, La fin du monde arrivera. According to that prediction therefore the end of the world :to lake place in 1886. SHARE 1114RKET.-(T7-718 D 41). ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Sha:•e Railway s. Paid.

SHERIFFS' COURT. (BTfore Mr. Joyce.) SALES IN THE CORN MARKET-IMPORTANr DECISION REED AND ANOTHER ♦. BROWN. This was an action to recover £2l 16s. DI loss on the re-sale of 116 quarters of wheat. Mr. Moss appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Tindal Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Beard, for the defendant. Mr. Moss stated that on the sth November last defen dant, who is a miller, purchased of the plaintiffs, who are corn and seed merchants of Hythe House, near Rochester, and have a stand in the London Corn-market, 116 quarters of wheat at 635. and 645. per quarter. The sale note was delivered, but defendants neglected or refused to clear the wheat, and it was re-sold at a loss of £2l 16s. 9d. Mr. Reed was called, and after he had given his evi dence, Mr. Atkinson asked him to produce the bought and sold note. Mr. Reed said he had it not, and Mr. Moss remarked that he would call the other partner, who would no doubt throw some light upon the subject. Mr. Atkinson—You may as well confess that you are in a difficulty. You have no bought and sold note, and the wheat was rejected within two days. Mr. Moss—l should hardly think you would avail your self of the defence under the statute of frauds. Mr. Atkinson—l have a good defence upon the merits, but I avail myself of the legal defence. His Honour ruled that the amount being over £2O, in the absence of a bought and sold note or contract, plaintiff must be nonsuited with costs. POLICE I NTBLLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. TURNING THE TABLES.—THE EFFECT OF BEING GOOD-NATURED.—EIIen Henderson and Emma Gardner, two well-dressed females, were charged with assaulting Mr. William Edward Shuckhard, a clerk at Lloyd's, Royal Exchange. Mr. Shuckard said he resided at Kennington, and on the previous night he was in Tichborne-street about 8 o'clock, when his hat was knocked off from behind and much in jured by the females. He did not wish to proceed against them any further. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are very kind. Mr. Shuckhard—Why, the fact is, I got myself into a misfortune by interceding for them last night, for I got locked up on the charge of being drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Well, the women are discharged. Mr. Shuckhard then stepped into the dock to answer the charge of drunkenness. Cornell, 109 C, said that the defendant charged Hen derson and Gardner with assaulting him, and on their beginning to cry defendant said he was a rate-payer, and he had a right to liberate them. He made use of very bad language, and said the police were a set of vagabonds. The defendant then left, and afterwards returned and knocked loudly at the station-house door, and said that if they did not give up the women he would go to Sir R. Mayne, that they were a set of vagabonds, and that he (Cornell) was the son of -. Defendant—The fact was I reflected a little, and thought it a pity the women should be incarcerated. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You (defendant) seem to have used very bad language. Sergeant Draper said he should not have taken the charge against the women, but that a respectable 'witness said he saw him assaulted. The defendant's hat was damaged, and he had been drinking. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You (defendant) seem to have been very good-natured. The police, however, were quite right in not discharging the women without bail after the charge was made against them, fvr if they did so all sorts of charges would be made and afterwards retracted. You are dis charged, and I hope never to see a man of your appearance in such a place again. The defendant, who is a man about 0 years of age, and of very respectable appearance, bowed and left the court. TOBACCO Smua GLlNG.—William Mudge, the chief mate, and William Vent, second mate of the ship Bingle, in the London Dock, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with smuggling cigars and tobacco. Mr. A. Wright, examining officer of customs, said that the Bingle had recently arrived in the London Dock, after a long voyage. He asked the prisoners if they had anything liable to duty in their berths. Mudge produced a small quantity of tobacco and a few cigars, and said that was all he had. Witness searched the vessel and discovered a false beam in the cabin, and under it 3 lbs. of foreign manufac tured tobacco. Mudgo said the tobacco belonged to him. On further search he discovered 100 cigars in a locker under the chief mate's bed place, which he also owned. In Vent's berth he discovered 4 lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. Vent denied all knowledge of the tobacco, and said it had been placed in his berth by some other person. Mudge, in defence, said that he intended the tobacco and cigars for his own consumption and not for sale. Mr. Selfe—Very likely, but you first told the officer a falsehood, and you appear to have concealed the tobacco in a very mysterious manner. . Vent protested his innocence, and said he never had pos session of the tobacco found in his berth, to which others had access, and this, upon inquiry, turned out to be the case, and the magistrate said he was not quite satisfied that Vent knew anything of the tobacco, and discharged him. He inquired the quantity of tobacco and cigars found con cealed under the beam and in the chief mate's locker. Mr. Wright—There is 5 lbs. in all, and the value and duty is £3. Mr Selfe said the defendant Mudge held a good position in the ship, and ought to have known better. He fined him £9, the treble value, and in default one month's im prisonment. The penalty was paid. THIS DAY'S .31AREETS. 11 , CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were very limited, and for the most part of poor quality. Good and fine dry samples were disposed of without difficulty at fully Monday's currency; but for damp parcels the trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Holders of foreign wheat were firm in their demands, and although the inquiry was chiefly for retail quantities, the quotations were well maintained. Floating cargoes of grain were held at full prices. Fine barley met a fair sale at full prices ; but all other kinds were quite neglected. Malt changed hands to a limited extent, on former terms. All descriptions of oats moved off heavily, at lower cur rencies. Beans were in steady request, at quite previous rates. Peas attracted very few buyers, yet their value was un altered. A fair business was passing in flour, and prices ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Whelt. Barley. Malt. Oats.

The following sum mary of events is taken from the Levant Herald:— ". His Excellency-General Durando, the Sardi nian Minister, has had a conference with the French ambassador with reference to the church of St. Benedict, which having been originally founded by the Genoese, the General represented that Italy was perfectly willing to allow it to remain Gal lican under the protection of France, but not in the hands of the Jesuits and Lazarists. Mr. Churchill, H.M. Agent and Consul-General at Jassy, has re turned to his post from Galatz, whither he had been ordered to superintend the embarkation of the Sardinian arms on board the Banshee. Arif Pasha, the new governor of Silistria, left on Saturday last for his post via Varna. Before leaving he was deco rated with the Ist class of the Medjidieh, and was invested with the military as well as civil command of his new pashalic. He has the reputation of being an upright and energetic man. A part of his instructions is, to encourage cotton culture through - out his jurisdiction, and with this view to afford every facility to farmers who may be disposed to try the crop. The steam frigate Shaiki-Ghadi, and a screw corvette left yesterday with troops for Mon tenegro. Owing, it is said, to the res augustac at the Malieh, the fleet, which is already coaled and provisioned for the coast of Dalmatia, will not leave the inner Horn for 15 or 20 days. During the past week 16 employes were despatched from the Porte into Roumelia to superintend the applot ment of the taxes on the new system of perception the particulars of which we recently described. Twenty-four others will proceed in a few days into the remaining districts of the province for a similar purpose. Two officials have also been sent to Salonica to regulate the cadestre of that town and pashalic on Suby Bey's 'plan, the details of which we have already also ex plained. Yesterday—the 15th day of Ramazan the usual annual exhibition of the Prophet's Cloak took place in Stamboul, at the beautiful little mosque called Hiskie Cherif, where the precious relict is preserved. His Majesty the Sultan and the whole of the Ministers were present at the ceremony, as were also all the chief civil and military dignitaries of the capital.—On Saturday a funeral mass was celebrated at St. Anthony's church, Pera, in honour of the persons who perished in the recent affair at Warsaw. The church was densely crowded by a large audience, consisting of Poles, and numerous deputations from other nationalities. The Italian band was in attendance, and played numerous na tional airs.—Upwards of 800 workmen are now employed in the imperial foundries and workshops at Tophane and Zeitoun-bournou casting, boring, and rifling cannon and muskets, which are to be served out to the army as fast us finished.— Mehemel-Effendi, law adviser to Fuad Pasha, ar rived from Beyrout a few days back on a special mission to the Porte. He gives a very gloomy picture of the state of affairs in Syria. Five thousand piastres have been awarded for each house burned in Damascus, but there the compensation stops, money being wanting to pay the sums thus allotted. Mehemet Effendi comes with urgent demands for 20,000 purses to be thus applied. Fuad Pasha had himself gone to Aleppo to investigate the cases of the chiefs of the late incipient fanatic out break in that town, and to find room fcr some of the houseless Damascus Christians there and at Alexandretta. It was said at Beyrout that a petition to Fuad was in course of signature by a large number of Christians for leave to emigrate to Algiers.--The 33 Regiment of Cavalry of the Im perial Guard is under orders to proceed to Syria. Four steamers carrying troops are to sail this week for the same destination.—The Messagerics Impe riales' steamer Amerique, Captain Sourer, which arrived on Saturday from Marseilles, ran down the Prussian barque Seejungfer, Captain Marses, near Gallipoli. The latter vessel was laden with barley for the United Kingdom. The captain and crew were fortunately able to save themselves in one of the ship's boats, but the barque rapidly filled and went down.—The brig Salina, of New Quay, Wales, Capt. Jones, with a cargo of barley from Ibraila for the United Kingdom, was run into on Wednesday morning at one o'clock, in the Marmora, about 30 miles from the Bosphorus, by a Sardinian vessel, in ballast, coming up. The shock was so great that the brig instantly began to fill, and shortly after wards foundered, the captain and men having only time to escape by jumping on board the Sar dinian brig. The crew, nine in number, are now at the Sailors' Home, Galata.—On Friday night, the Greek brig Despina, Capt. D. Veralla, with a cargo of wheat from Soulina for the Mediterranean, foundered near the entrance of the Bosphorus; the entire crew perished with the exception of a boy who reached the shore on a spar. The same night the Wallachian brig Eftemia, Capt. Demetrio Georgidi, w ith a cargo of Indian corn from Ibraila, for Corfu, was totally lost at Amondis, all hands saved. Letters from Birejik on the Euphrates report that on the 23d of February that river was frozen nearly half over. No similar degree of cold was remembered to have ever before occurred at Mesopotamia." The Levant herald has the followng article on the financial situation of Turkey : The financial condition of the c ountry is, in effect, this :—There is a revenue of about £10,500,000, and an expenditure of about £15,000,000. This can only be safely and per manently balanced by finding new resources, by regulating the outlay, and by improving the mode of collecting the revenue already in existence. It requires but little acquaintance with the financial state and capabilities of the country to understand how easily all three of these objects may be achieved, without in the least oppressively adding to the burthens of the population ; how, in fact, an economy of fully two and a half, or three, millions sterling may be effected by most easy retrench ments, and an equal addition to actual revenue be made with the very readiest facility. We have ourselves more than once explained in detail bow this may be accomplished. The first necessity, however, is the preparation of a budget,—the second, the appointment of a commission empowered to reorganise and control the whole financial ad ministration of the country. The former of these is said to be in progress ; the latter must be formed if the Augean stable at the Malich is ever to be cleared out. In limine a debt of about ten millions sterling—including pay due to the troops, arrears of salaries of civil employes, local depart mental debts, and the remainder of the outstanding caimes—is to be grappled with ; and how is this to be done ? Evidently, it cannot be done at present out of revenue. But it may easily be done by con solidating a portion of these obligations, and by adopting the suggestions long ago thrown out by Sir H. Bulwer, and now again by the author of the pamphlet above referred to—of issuing five or six millions of guaranteed paper money. The objec tions to this latter are, we grant, neither few nor trifling; but, as compared with any other form of remedy immediately at the command of the Porte, it is, we think, at once the most practieable and the most efficient that could be essayed. The precise amount to be put into circulation would depend on the wants of the country for the current purposes of local trade ; and, to give notes a value at all com parable with metallic, they must be exchangeable for metallic under conditions and within a term which would induce general confidence in their con vertibility. One of these conditions would be such a commission of control as we have above referred to, to which might be assigned say four or five hundred thousand pounds sterling per annum of revenue for the payment off at par of so much of the paper money in circulation. To ensure this pay ment, two, three, or four years' quotas of revenue might be guaranteed to such a Caisse before hand; and, with that and a personnel deserving of confidence, the Commission should have no difficulty in keeping the notes at a value in the market little below their nominal worth. Or, by a statesmanlike dealing with the Crown lands, many times more than this amount might not only be guaranteed, but be actually realised, and by an investment in the English or French funds, of the sum thus raised such a credit might be at once given to these notes as would render them little, if at all, inferior to metallic in the general estimate of the people. And not only would this give local confidence, but it would raise the credit of the Porte abroad, which is hardly, if at all, less neces sary than the resuscitation of faith in its solvency at home. But, after all, this is only one of the many obviously facile means by which the Govern ment may, if it will, extricate itself from its mone tary difficulties and infuse a new life into the trade of the country, We have already pointed out others. Will the Grand Vizier, with whom the initiative lies, have recourse to any of the whole, or will he permit a continuance for a single month longer of the status quo ? If he does, the conse quences can hardly fail to be disastrous not merely to his own political fortunes, but to the gravest in terests of every class—native and foreign—of the population of the country." A VICTIM TO ROUTINE.—A certain society lately gave a grant to build a parsonage-house. Among - o ther things a well was to be dug, and the society had a regula tion depth for their wells. Long before this depth was reached, a perpetual spring of excellent water was found, but found in vain. The regulation depth must be reached, and was reached. The water was not very good, but the unhappy parson was obliged to drink it. After a time he became seriously unwell, when it was discovered that the well sinkers had dug into a spring of mineral water, and the poor man had been drinking a tonic every day of his life, because his benefactors were two conservative,..—N o. tional Review, for April, BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

SUDDEN DEATH.—The northern coal trade has sustained a most severe loss by the sudden death of the eminent milling engineer, Mr. T. J. Taylor, of Earsdon. Mr. Taylor was known throughout the mining districts as a gentleman of great eminence in his profession. He was mining engineer to the Duke of Northumberland, Lord Hastings, Colonel Towneley, and other large coalowners ; and has written innumerable treatises on mining and cog nate subjects. ➢lr. Taylor breathed his last at Bellingham on Tuesday morning lea. The immediate cause of his death was apoplexy. SUICIDE OF A TRADESMAN. —On Wednesday night Mr. George Budd, a tradesman, long established in business at the corner of Lincoln-street, in the Mile-end road, as a Berlin wool dealer, and who for many years kept the district post-office there, committed suicide in the Prince Albert publichouse, Lincoln-street, which he had often fre quented. He went into the bar-parlour with a four-barrelled revolver, applied the pistol to his right temple, fired, and a ball entered his head. His death was instantaneous. The unfortunate deceased was a man of good education and address, and held in high estimation by his neighbours. He had fallen into pecuniary embarrassments ; the post office was removed to another house a fortnight ago, the brokers had been put into possession of his property, and under these accumulations of misfortunes his mind gave way, and he committed self-destruction, He has left behind him a wife and four children, quite unprovided for. 100 100 100 stock 100 100 100 100 100 100 stock THE CAMPANA COLLECTION. The Giornale di ..lionza has an article referring to a correspondence in the Perseveranza. The Milan journal has spoken of the recent sale to Russia of part of the Campana collection, which it deplored, declaring it to be a " Vandalic outrage on the artistic genius of Italy." The Roman official journal makes the following statement :—" It is certain that the Monte di Pieta in Rome found itself, two years ago, under the necessity of receiving the collections made by Campana, and in accepting them it certainly had not in view to ornament with them the vast edifices in which they are placed, nor any other palaces, but to compensate itself for the large sums due to it from Cam pana. To indemnify itself, in part, for the losses it had suffered, it did not hesitate to accept the offers of Russia, which related only to the classes of sculp ture, vases, and bronzes; those of jewelry, terra cottas, glass, Etruscan paintings, works of the Re naissance, majolica, objects of curiosity, and almost entirely that of pictures remaining untouched. It is quite true that those collections comprise objects of value, but, whatever that value may be, it can never equal that of the masterpieces with which are so abundantly enriched the Pontifical museums and galleries, and those of private persons, which are the artistic wealth of Rome and the admiration of the universe. Moreover, in the condition to which the Pontifical Exchequer has been reduced by the despo liation of the provinces, it is evident to all that it would have ill employed the handsome sums which the generosity of the faithful has put at its disposal for the urgent wants of the Holy See, had it applied them to the purpose of increasing the number of the objects in its museums and gal leries. It is clear, then, that if the Campana col lections may redound to the splendour of foreign cities, wh ere they will be placed to increase the monuments of a grandeur which, proper to our soil, is elsewhere the seed of civilisation and a spark of that flame which feeds the arts, in this our country already covered with more considerable riches, they are, we will not say, useless, but assuredly superfluous. Campana himself, who well knew the value of the objects collect ed, and on which he had lavished enormous sums robbed from the Monte, looked to foreign countries for a market for them. Moreover, these collections, whether they belonged to Campana or belong to the Monte which acquired them, constitute a private prepsry ; and it is absurd to make their sale a charge against the Government, as it would be absurd, in presence of what has been set forth, and inopportune also, in the actual circumstances, to pretend that the Government ought to have purchased them. Therefore neither has the Monte di Pieta acted wrongly in endeavouring by this sale to realise a part of the important credit for which it became possessor of the Campana objects, nor has the seat of the fine arts been a loser by it ; in like manner it will not suffer in the least if the whole of the collections should be sold." PL .4 INTIFF AND D PIT ;V DA NT IN THE YELV_ER7'ON CASE. It is a duello between Madame Innocence and Major Mephistopheles. Madame Innocence has told her story first. Days ago, in the 'first act of the piece, there had arisen a hum, a rustle, a stretching of necks, as a small figure was seen ascending into the awful pillory or pulpit reserved for witnesses. S tra w-coloured hair, almost golden, and folded back after that seductive French fashion—soft and tender eyes—a small round face, almost " babyish" in shape, and size, and tinted with a delicate pink, yet with a tint of suffering and faint lines of pain. Such as have travelled so far as an Eternal City, detect a likeness to the famous Cenci picture. Hark ! All her simple story, detailed by the golden-haired lady—in so musical a voice—so gra phically, yet so sadly, that we all (junior barris terial element) there and then enrol ourselves as her knights, and are prepared to do something frantic on the first opportunity. Letters ? That thick octavo volume contains all those documents, printed and set out for the common use of counsel. Such tenderness, such wit—such graceful womanly style—such playful dallying with his subjects ! Privately, we class them with Lady Mary's or the ingenious French lady's; but we may be biassed. Those more touching passages, where she pleads against that desertion which she has an instinct is overshadowing, wring our very hearts. We think it no shame that rough impetuous Brightside read ing them aloud, should have that huskiness in his throat, that unusual break in his voice; or that gentle hearted Rhadamanthus-in-Chief, high in his green pavilion, should be obstreperously busy with his handkerchief, Elderly barristerial element, past such thinks now, show signs of weakness and shake heads mournfully. It is very sad. We are all verging upon dotage. The golden-haired lady in the box is fast turning us into fools. . . . A few days interval —for this dramatic performance has spread itself over a span of nearly 12 days—and Major Mephis topheles has appeared in the witness box to tell his story. A haughty supercilious fighting man, beard ing the hostile population who hem him in on all sides, with a defiant scowl. Unclean humanity in the galleries hunger and thirst to have him away. Al ready they have fallen on some luckless might out side, whom they have mistaken for Mephistopheles, and are hurrying him to a muddy bath in the river, when he is rescued. Mephistopheles is driven to bay, and will brave it out. He owns to everything with a strange coolness, unfolds his schemes in a hard icy voice,and proclaims candidly that Madame Innocence was a poor common creature, of the earth, earthy, and on the whole, no better than she should be. Our ears tingle as we hear him. We are inclined—still the ju nior barristerial element, by this time infatuated—to cast lots who shall wait for him outside. But there is retribution at hand, for Little Sergeant, crackling, detonating all over, is now at his throat. What strange feats he performs with that hapless officer ! How he shrieks at him; what contradictions he involves him in ; how he wrings from him—though miserable Major strives to fence it off desperately— a faltering confession of a debased morality ; then lets :him go ! Unwashed humanity hiss and groan each questionable sentiment, and hoot him loudly as he fades out into Erebus.—Dickens'B "All the boar Round." EASTER TERN.

The list of business in the Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, has been made up by the officers of their respective courts ; from which it appears that the arrears of business in the Court of Queen's Bench is much larger than the, other courts, and of a more heavy cha racter than usual, even at that court. The now trial paper contains a list of 42 rules for new trials, stand ing for argument. In the Common Pleas there are eight enlarged rules for argument. In the new trial paper, three rules moved in Michaelmas Term, 1860, and in Hilary Term 13, in which are the celebrated cases of Kemp v. Neville, and Eb or v. Neville, the Cambridge University Proctor case. For judgment : Wilton v. the Royal Mail Steam Q Navi g ation Company, and Pickard v. Smith. T n the emurrer and special paper there are 20 cases for argument. In the Exch( que-r (Court of Error and Appeals), 8 for argument ; and for judgment, Watts v. Shuttleworth. On the crown side of the Queen's Bench the arrears are also very heavy, and a mongst the rules will be the celebrated of I Anderson, the slave, TTrn nraURN OF THE PRODIGAL. —Evil for Good.—Punch. FATAL FALL FROM A HOUSE-Top.—Yesterday Mr. Sergeant Payne held an inquest, in Guy's Hospital, on the body of Benjamin Hunt, a plumber, aged 49, who, whilst measuring some lead work on the top of a house at Bexley Heath, fell a distance of 25 feat, by which ho received a fracture of the skull ; seven r ib s wer e also broken, and the left lung was torn from the rib s p r otruding into it. In fact, the chest was filled with blood from the injuries received. He died. however, from the injuries he had sustained i n less than one hour. The jury returned as their verdict one of "Accidental death." THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. CRPITOAT PARK RACES.—(This Day.) BY EICCTRIC TELEGRAPH GRANBY HANDICAP.
