We have to thank Mr. HENNESSY for a two nights' conversation on Italy—a conversation with no other object in reality than that of each speaker saying what he liked. What he, Sir G. BOWYER, and Mr. MAGUIRE could hope to gain from it, it is not easy to say. They could at best but serve as foils to show off to the best advantage the cause of Italy and Piedmont, and the universal feeling amongst Englishmen in direct opposition to their own. Had they wished to accelerate the downfall of the temporal power of the POPE, to blacken the memory of the expelled Italian Princes, to encou rage their late subjects in following our own example of 1688, and to strengthen the hands of VICTOR EMMANUEL and his able Minister, they could not have done better than raise a debate on Italian affairs. It is, of course, childish to arraign our Foreign office for representing in its policy the wishes of all but there is a band of notable Irish patriots who, en joying the fullest liberty themselves, are never tired of demanding that Italians shall be slaves. So strong and universal is the wish of England, Scot land, and Wales that the liberties we enjoy should be possessed also by other nations, that nothing makes a Ministry, otherwise unpopular enough, more tolerable—we might say acceptable—to the nation, than its foreign policy in favour of constitutional liberty. Great Britain cannot comprehend the consistency of rejoicing in her own freedom, and wishing to keep others beneath the yoke. We perceive the zeal of Irish Catholics to uphold the hated temporal despctiam of the POPE, but while we could pardon the illiterate mob for enlisting to win the glories of capitulation in so good a cause at Spoleto, we fail to comprehend how men of education enough to enter the British House of Commons can make common cause with the superstitious multitude. Do they, we are inclined to ask, speak their real sentiments, or• do they speak for bigoted priests, and the voters whom those priests will some day whip up to the poll ? Can these legislators for a free country catch nothing of the spirit which breathes all around them ? Are they, as well as the heroes of Spoleto, amongst the benightedly superstitious? It seems difficult to believe it, yet they enter upon their cause with such an intemperate warmth that it looks like conviction ; Mr. BOWYER even took upom himself to deny the facts of Perugian atrocities, a denial for which he received an ample rebuke by Mr. GLADSTONE, who read the return of the POPE'S officers to the POPE himself, describing barbarities which make one's blood run cold, as acts worthy the commendation of his Holiness. Mr. MACQUIRE asked what had the POPE done that he should be despoiled of his dominions ? He might better have asked what he had done that he ought not to be despoiled of them ? Especially, when the spoilers were the people themselves who inhabited them. It is simply absurd to quibble about the hospitals and charities of Rome, the amount of taxes and so forth, when the broad fact is before the world that all the subjects of the Porn hate and detest his government, and throw it off as soon as, and wherever they can. He cannot hold an Sere of his dominions, through the attachment of Is subjects to their ruler. No sooner are Austrian troops withdrawn from the Legations, than away go the POPE'S Legates with them, glad only to get off with a whole skin. And were the French to go to morrow, the POPE it he did not go with them, 3nust go to bed t h at night as spiritual ruler only of liis morning's subjects. But, in plain English, we think the conduct of the Irish Catholics utterly ,disgraceful to them. It is mean, irrational, and selfish. They fancy there i s something grand in %ming a Pope a temporal Prince ; so, to dignify their Chief Bishop, they are prepared to sell the liberties sof their fellow Catholics at Rome. Such conduct is, however, as irrational as it is mean and selfish ; for they see that the dominions of the Pop s are not such as to make him independent ; he has been in almost all history but the tool of some great Tower, and is obviously now but the serf of France. Iris independence and dignity would be greater as a purely spiritual SoTereign. Superstition, how ever, is blind. Between Mr. LAYARD, Sir R. PEEL, Mr. GLAD STONE, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL the cause of Italy was well sustained enough, and the old horrid pic tures of misgovernment, that of Naples especially, revarnished. The novelty of the debate was the speech of JOHN ARTHUR ROEBUCK. We have all of us thought Lord JOHN RUSSELL always quite Austrian enough, especially since his unlucky visit to Vienna at the time of the Russian war. But Mr. ROEBUCK has also lately paid a visit to Vienna, and the hon. member for Sheffield comes back far more in. love with Austria than our Foreign Minister now is. Mr. ROEBUCK wishes to see Italy free and united—up to the Mincio ! Free, except Venetia! Free, except from Austria! Free, except from the threats of a Quadrilateral, garrisoned by 150,000 Austrian soldiers ! This, from JOHN ARTHUR ROEBUCK ! What does it all mean ? Was it really because, as Mr. WHITE said, it had been proclaimed in the city that the honourable member for Sheffield would return to this country the Eulogist of Austria, because he was received in gilded salons by archdukes and archduchesses ; and because it was rumoured that the honourable mem ber had come back from Vienna with a very lucra tive contract in his pocket ? Be the cause what it may, Mr. ROEBUCK now pleads for Austria as our natural continental ally in thwarting French and Russian ambition. She is now a constitutional Go vernment, he tells us, and even her little children are learning to prattle the English language, and her bigger ones to appreciate and " love" the beauties of English literature ; of MILTON'S prose works, no doubt, among them. In short, to save Italy from being the vassarof France, she must be so far as the strength of the Quadrilateral goes, the vassal of Austria. One would have supposed, if Mr. ROEBUCK had not been blinded by Vienna dust, he must see that nothing could tend more to liberate Italy from vassalage to France, than to have such a strong line of defence to fall back on as that of the Mincio. Were Piedmont and its fortresses carried by the French, then the four famous fortresses, defended by freemen fight ing for their fatherland, would be a Torres Vedras indeed to the armies of the invader. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, it is gratifying to see, will not sacrifice Venetia to Mr. ROEBUCK and Austria. He stands by applying his principle there of letting the Venetians decide for them selves. He does not think it for the interest of Austria herself to make the heavy sacrifices which she is now compelled to do, merely to garrison the country. And, he seems to hope that the New Austrian Constitution will enable the Venetians to express their opinions in a way which shall permit Austria to part with the country without dishonour. Such a bloodless solution would be, indeed, a happy one, one which England would cordially welcome. Come what will, however, Italian unity must be completed, and Rome and Venetia'share, adorn, and strengthen their country's freedom. The republication of Parliamentary Speeches in a pamphlet-form, as separate brochures, apart from Bansard, apart from the columns of the daily newspaper, we take to be conspicuous among the number of those our political habitudes not, we deliberately say it, NOT " more honoured in the breach than in the observance." Occasionally the advantages accruing from it are peculiarly those resulting from a parely intel lectual enjoyment. Occasionally, that is—now-a days it must be allowed very rarely—it places alone in the hands of the public some masterpiece of ora tory in which all the unintentional blunders and rhetorical elisions incidental to the mere precipi tation of rapid stenography have been scrupulously corrected by revision at the hands of the orator from whose mouth the speech has emanated. It was thus, for example, with reference to that resplendent burst of eloquence which was the "bright particular star" of the last Session of Par liament—that masterly oration upon Reform in which the doom of Lord JOHN'S Poor Little Bill was definitively pronounced by the lips of the right hon. Baronet, the late Colonial Secretary. Occasionally the reprint of a Ministerial decla ration, having reference to some vital theme affect ing in the most intimate manner the whole sub stance and structure of the national polity, consti tutes, for the multitude at large, nothing less than a boon, the value of which is, in a measure, beyond the reach of computation. It has very recently been thus in regard to those two speeches delivered at two consecutive sittings of the House of Com mons, by the noble lord her MAJESTY'S Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, those two most ira portant and remarkable harargues, in which the noble lord defined the tendency of the entire foreign policy of the Government, and elucidated with especial particularity the significance of the root principle of that policy, namely, what is now popularly known as the principle of non• intervention. , Occasionally, moreover, it so happens that some harangue of great intrinsic importance, some speech that might otherwise have been allowed to pass by unnoticed, is opportunely recalled, almost upon the morrow of its delivery either in the Lords or Com mons, to the general recollection, is thrust vividly and visibly in its printed form upon the national consideration. It is precisely in this way, it is thus happily and thus opportunely that a speech which might otherwise have been allowed to evade popular observation, has been forced anew in the shape of a distinct brochure upon the attention of the more thoughtful part of the community. Those who may either have listened to this speech—the speech of Lord STRATHEDEN upon the policy of Occasional Reforms as compared with that of Final Measures — those who may have listened to it at the time of its delivery in the House of Lords upon the evening of Thursday, the 21st of February, or those, again, who may have merely glanced down the epitomized report of it as given in the public journals of the day following, will hardly have appreciated the real value of its argument, as it may now be very readily and agreeably appreciated in its revised and corrected form as a distinct publication. A ,ispenny pamphlet of RIDGEWAY'S, extending in all to scarcely 19 octavo pages, may readily enough be obtained and read by those amongst our reformers who are really and earnestly solicitous that the much talked-of, but now seemingly abandoned cause of Reform shall be furthered and advanced instead of being quietly shelved and cushioned. They will find in every sentence almost of this thoughtful argument of Lord STRATHEDEN'S, reasons enow and to spare why Reformers generally should not allow themselves, even now in this second month of the session, under all the enervating and debilitating influences of a Cabinet not in earnest in the cause of Parliamen tary Reform—(the very cause for the triumph of which they were called into existence as a Cabinet!) —to be disheartened. The gist of the argument of this speech, as the very title-page of its reprint in the shape of a substantial pamphlet clearly enough indicates, is demonstrative of the superior advantages of the policy of Occasional Reforms, as compared with the now unhappily patent and notorious disadvantages of the policy of Final Measures. During twenty years, as Lord STRATHEDEN argues, namely, from 1832 to 1852, it was presumed by the majority of our statesmen that there was no further necessity for any comprehen sive or root and branch scheme of innovation in the great system of popular representation. Occa sional Reforms had meanwhile been carried out now and then, at rare intervals, with the happiest results. But then, in 1852, the policy of Final Measures, the policy which had for a whole score of years been dropped or allowed to fall into abeyance, was again evoked—the alluring and even enthralling policy of great and compre hensive measures of Reform in Parliament. Four times, says the noble lord—Four times a recon structive settlement in this way has been attempted, I " with uniform reproach to all the Governments who ventured upon it !" The Government of 1852—abandoning its scheme because no sooner was it explained than it was an object of all but universal opprobium. The Government of 1854 " being forced," as Lord STRATHEDEN remarks, "by a concurrence of all parties to withdraw their measure of Reform, on the eve of the Russian war, and never regaining the credit which they lost by this unfortunate and ill-timed proposition !" The Government of 1859 being " outvoted on the second reading of their measure, and in vain appealing to a'general election to:reverse the judgment of the House of Commons!" The Government of 1860—but surely the retro spect in that instance relates to a period so very recent and to a disappointment of all reasonable expectations so very flagrant that it needs no detailed particularisation. Referring to all these notorious failures, Lord STRATHEDEN has remarked (in his speech in the House of Lords on the 21st of February, p. 7) very shrewdly, and it might even be said philosophically " The reception by which these new settlements of Reform were strangled in their cradles, cannot be ascribed to want of talent in the Cabinets which framed them. It cannot be ascribed to any temporary causes. The more their failure is examined, the more it will be traced to causes which survive, and of which, whenever such attempts are made, the operation may be confidently reckoned on. At any time they must array against them the hostility of Parliament, because they threaten dissolution. At any time they must excite the Opposition of the day into activity, because on projects so ambitious and so vulnerable, far more than on any other, the Go vernment advancing them may be successfully at tacked. They must, also, to some extent, create disunion in the Cabinet which forms them ; be cause, unless there is an object to pursue, and a principle to go upon, as there was in 1831, but does not seem to be at present, no twelve statesmen can entirely agree on what ought to be the nature of the settlement." Ii illustration of the truth of this last-mentioned source of weak ness, and consequently of failure in the projeot of these Final Measures, of these large and compre hensive measures of Parliamentary Reform, the noble lord contents himself with reminding the readers of his reprinted argument in a footnote (p. 8), that the disunion caused in the Cabinet of that time by the Bill of 1852, was eight years afterwards disclesed quite incidentally by Lord GREY—(April, 1860) in his speech upon his Committee ! Observ ing that the division caused in Lord DERBY'S Cabinet by the Bill of 1859 was revealed to the recognition of all at the very time by the simul taneous resignation of Mr. HENLEY and Mr. WAL ' POLE ! " And yet, perhaps," adds Lord STRATH EDEN in his footnote, " its application—[a.e. the application of this remark of his in re ference to the divisions caused in Cabi nets by these great and final Measures]— ' its application to the bills of 1854 and 1860 is still more generally felt; although not resting upon proofs so easy to refer to." A significant intimation, the force of which every one feels as might be said instinctively—significant from any one, but espe cially so (for reasons most will upon the instant appreciate), coming from the lips of Lord STRATI EDEN. Contrasted with the utter failure of these four great measures of Reform, of Parliamentary Re forms attempted thus comprehensively, has been the success attendant, time and again, upon the various occasional Reforms upon which different Cabinets have adventured. " The policy of occa sional Reforms," Lord STRATHEDEN argues, with manifest force, " has been already sanctioned by the Legislature." Adding, "On this principle the Irish franchise was extended in 1850 by the influence of one Government ; the qualification of members was in 1858 abolished, with the sanction of another." And as to the facility of carrying out this same policy of occasional Reforms, the noble lord reminds his hearers in the House of Lords, and since then, through this reprint of his speech in a pamphlet form, his readers throughout the country, that " The Irish Bill of 1850 was carried in the same year with an Act as grave and as much controverted as any which hid passed since 1833—the Act for giving institutions to Australia." Observing with equal power of argument that " The Bill of 1858, already referred to, was carried in the same year in which India was transferred by legislation to the Crown, night after night being spent in arduous battles on that subject." Whereas how truly and forcibly does not the noble lord immediately afterwards remark in broad contrast to this—" The comprehensive Bill of 1860, although it never passed into committee, threw out every other mea sure except those relating to the Budget, along with which it was proposed." We are precluded only by a want of space and time from submitting here to our readers more than these purely fragmentary portions of the well considered argument addressed by Lord STRATHEDEN on the 21st of February to the House of Lords, and since then (by means of his pamphlet) through the House of Lords to the country, in demonstration of the superiority, as a policy of Occasional Reforms, compared :with that other and more ambitious policy, which has four times failed so very flagrantly—in 1852, in 1854, in 1859, in 1860—the policy of great and comprehensive measures for the Reform of Parliament. Even by means of these fragmentary passages, however, we have displayed enough of the sound ability, and of the rational tendency of the argument in its entirety, to commend reformers generally throughout the country to the examina- tion of the Speech itself, as originally delivered and subsequently revised by Lord STRATHEDEN. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1861. BOW TO CATCH THE ADMIRAL. If the Admiralty be in earnest in their wish to " cut off" or catch Sir Baldwin Walker, they might have telegraphed to Cork, some three hundred miles further west, to send one or more vessels out—or they might even tele graph to our Naval Authority at Lisbon to send a vessel on a cruise for the same purpose. But " where there's a will there's a way," and none are so blind as those who wont see. Still the Admiral may turn up, through stress of weather—unless he have "a bee in his bonnet," for the good of the hive. In any case his absence now will be far more damaging than his presence. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. This evening, in the House of Commons, Admiral Dun combe will move the nomination of the following gentlemen as a select committee on the Board of Admiralty :—Sir J Graham, Sir F. Baring, Sir J. Pakington, Mr. Henley, Lord C. Paget, Mr. Corry, Admiral Duncombe, Sir Henry Willoughby, Mr. Beamish, Mr. Finlay, Mr. Bentinek, Sir J. Elphinstone, Mr. Stansfeld, Mr. Philipps, and Mr. Whit bread. Power to send for persons, papers, and records; five to be the quorum. Mr. Hubbard will move the nomination of the following gentlemen as a select committee on income and property tax : —Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. S. Estcourt, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Turner, Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Pollard-Urquhart, Sir W. Heath cote, Mr. Baxter, Sir S. Northcote, Sir F. Heygate, Mr. Bentinck, and Mr. Cave. DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT.—It was expected that her Majesty would leave Osborne at half-past two o'clock this afternoon, and if the weather continued fine, of which there was every prospect, the Royal family would embark from Osborne Pier. It is reported that the Princess Royal of Prussia and the children will take up their rosidcnce at Osborne, in July next, for the bathing season. EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA V. DAY.—THE KOSSUTH NoTEs.—This case was not mentioned in Vice-Chancellor Steuart's Court up to the hour of going to press, but we understand that the agents of the Emperor of Aus'ri-t have paid £lOO into Court as security for costs. The Belgian journals announce another ecclesi astical scandal—the arrest, at a place called Menin, of a certain Brother Fidele, a member of the Order of Good ks, but whose real name is Van Brakom, on the charge of committing criminal assaults on girls under 14 years of age. He has been lodged in the prison of Courtrai to await trial. The Pungolo of Milan states that the bombare. meat of Gaeta has cost 25 millions of francs. Intelligence has been received from Glargow of the suicide of Mr. Crum in that city. L aVI EST NEWQ • REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. PARIS, MARCH S. The Corps Legislatif will commence the discus sion of the Address on Monday next. VIENNA, FRIDAY. The damage caused by the inundation to the granaries of Galatz and Ibraila, especially in the former city, is so great that it is apprehended that commerce will be seriously affected. MADRID, MARCH 7. The Ministry have pronounced themselves in favour of the temporal power of the Pope. TURIN, MARCH 7. Signor Ratazzi has been elected President of the Chamber of Deputies by 219 against 23 votes. NAPLES, MARCH 7. The Official Journal notifies the blockade of the citadel of Messina. Hostilities have commenced. All foreign vessels have left Messina, with the ex ception of those of England and America. The English captains have declared their inten tion of remaining in order to protect the property of their countrymen. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. In to-day's sitting of the Senate the whole ad dress was agreed to by 120 against 3 votes, after speeches had been delivered by several Cardinals and other Senators. To-morrow a committee of the Senate will pre sent the address to the Emperor. TOULON, MARCH 7. Prince Napoleon will embark for Italy in ten days. A levy of 1,000 sailors hag been ordered in the district of Toulon. VIENNA, THURSDAY. An imperial autograph letter sanctions the assembling of a Servian national congress in Kar lowitz, under the presidency of the Patriarch Rajacie, before the opening of the Hungarian Diet. The congress is to be composed of Servian deputies only. The inhabitants of the other provinces belonging to the now united Greek Church are also to be re presented, but only for matters of religion and public instruction. AUSTRALIA. QUEENSTOWN, THURSDAY. The Ocean Chief, from Melbourne, 72 days out, arrived off Queenstown to-day. She brings 22,970 ounces of gold. She landed mails and passengers, and proceeded immediately for Liverpool. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. THE FRENCH BUDGET. The Budget for 1862 has just been laid before the Corps Legislatif. The detailed estimates are not yet published. From the statement it appears that the estimated expenses amounted to 1,929,448,725 f. (nearly 80 millions sterling), whilst the estimated receipts are set down at 1,941,030,350f.,5h0wing an excess of receipts over expenditure of 11,581,550 f. (nearly half a million sterling). I have read very carefully both the projets de loi and the expose des motifs, but I have not been able to discover Low this delightful result is arrived at. It is probable that the truth will be elicited on the subject in the Corps Legislatif. The estimated expenses show an excess of upwards of 31 millions of francs over the budget of 1861. There is an increase in most of the " chapters," but the largest increase is shown in the military estimates. The expose des motifs has the follow ing on the subject : "The largest increase is shown in the estimates of the Ministry of War. It is due to the necessity of providing not only for the expenses of the re serve, and also to a change in the effective strength of the army, which is intended less to increase the active force of the army than the regularisation of that which you have more than once acknowledged to be necessary for the defence of the country in time of peace. The increase is also owing to the reorganisation of the artillery and the military train ; to the extraordinary manufacture of powder for the finance and navy departments; to the in crease of salaries below 1,200 f. a year ; and to the addition of 3c. per man to the mess fund, to im prove the food of the troops." The war estimates for 1862 show an increase of 26 millions odd (upwards of one million sterling) over those for 1861. The sitting of the Senate yesterday was only important by the demonstration of the clerical party, 60 of whom voted for an amendment in favour of the temporal power of the Pope ; it was negatived by a majority of 19, 79 members having voted against it. The President of the Council of State, M. Baruche, made an important declaration. He said the French Government could not protect the Papacy against itself : " What had the French Government engaged to do ? It had engaged not to 'withdraw the French troops. Well, had they not rema i ne d a t R ome ? Had they not within the last few days occupied Frosinone, which the troops of the King of Sar dinia had disputed? There was also the language which the President of the Council of State had employed on the 12th April, 1860, and which the honourable Cardinal D onnet had partly cited in a previous sitting. It ind icated the duties of a pro tecting government towards the one which received counsels. Th e se duties he did not deny ; but he would remark that Cardinal Donnet had said nothing of what made the counterpart of these words. - He had examined, in fact, the case in which the Government protectedreviled the counsels of the protecting Government, and he had shown that the guarantee for the advantage of the latter could only result from reciprocal engagements. A govern ment could not be governed aga i ns t it se lf. Th ey well knew the view of the E m p eror ' s G overnment, what it had determined and done, in spite of England, against Piedmont. They knew the present state of affairs ; and that if the Pope retained his tem poral power, he was indebted to the Emperor for it. (Hear.) It was for that reason he thought the amendment useless. They should continue to place their confidence in the monarch who covered the Papacy with the French flag, and had been the faithful sentinel of Rome and the Pontifical throne. The army at Rome had well fulfilled its duties for 12 years. Let the Senate, mindful of the past, have confidence in the future. That was what the draft of the Address proposed, and it seemed to him that all opinions might meet on that ground, and all consciences be satisfied. (Loud applause.)" BOURSE, March 7.—The arrival of the English funds with lower quotations has had no effect on the firmness of the market, which has obtained a slight improvement ; business, however, remaining as restricted as can possibly be imagined.

THE ROYAL NAVAL VOLUNTEERS.-62 seamen have joined the Royal Naval V olunteers on the Tyne. This is the largest number enrolled next to London. It is understood that Messrs. Dent, Palmer, and Co., the contractors for the Turkish Loan of 1858, are adopting all the steps in their power, by protest and other- wise, to prevent any future breach of agreement by the Turkish Government as regards the mode of collecting and remitting the funds specially hypothecated for the di vidends on that stock. Tne final and roiitive intimation regarding the payment of the bills of M. Mires falling due next week is still awaited from Paris, but the belief is maintained that they will be provided for. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The markets for foreign and colonial produce during the last few days hare been rather quiet. The dealers in tea have deferred their operations until the public sales which take place to-day. For sugars there has been a moderate inquiry, the finer descriptions supporting previous values. Coffee has been at full rates, and only moderate transactions have been recorded in rice. East India descriptions have declined 3d. to 6d. per cwt. For saltpetre and tallow, the inquiries have been less active and the latter article has declined about 6d. per cwt., P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 60s. At the public sales of colonial wool the rates estab lished at the commencement of the series have been fairly maintained for the better descriptions of Australian and Cape. Less activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices remained without alteration. The sales were about 8,000 bales. A small amount of gold, viz., about £7,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Ocean Chief has been announced from Aus tralia with £91,880 in specie. The directors of the Great Northern Railway have made a call of £2 10s. per share on the 5 per cent. Preference Shares, payable on or before the 27th inst. Continued activity is reported in the genera discount Market, and full rates are paid for accom modation. The Bank of England will make the usual ad vances during the shutting of the transfer books. The traffic receipts of the South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian Railway for the week ending the 28th ult., exhibited an increase of £9,992, making the total augmentation from the Ist of January £42,562 compared with the same period in 1860. There has been a meeting to-day of the creditors of Messrs. Bello, Brothers, and Co., merchants, who stopped on the 2d ult., at which a balance-sheet was presented and explained by Mr. W. Moates, the accountant, showing liabilities at £93.510 7s. 7d., and assets at £105,508 15s. 3d, After some discussion of a very favourable character it was unanimously agreed to accept a composition of 205., payable in four instalments of ss. each at three, nine, fifteen, and 21 months, and some approbation was expressed at the conduct of the firm. The market for Public Securities opened with a heavy appearance, Consols being 911 for money, and 918 92 for the account, but they have since Improved to 911, and to 92 to 92} respectively. Several purchases have been effected on speculative account, and hence the upward tendency of the market. Business, however, continues very dull. The New Threes are flat at 91fr ; Bank Stock has improved to 232 and 234 ; India ditto is flat at 221; ditto 5 per Cent. 998 100,1 ditto 59 per Cent. Rupee Paper is firm at 1001; and Exchequer Bills remain at 6s. to 2s. die. Foreign Securities show more buoyancy, but the dealings have been limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. have improved to 70 to 71 ; ditto 1858, to 524 and 53; ; Mexican, to 23i ; Grenada Active, to 16,1 ; and Spanish are firm at 49 ; but Sardinian are flat at 81i, and Brazilian at 851. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued very inactive, and the variations in values were of an unimportant character. Caledonian and Great Northern have declined ss. ; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, North Western, Midland, and North Eastern (York) have improved ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings scarcely any business has been recorded. Northern of France realise 38k ; East Indian, 981 99; and Scinde, 971. For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been a very limited inquiry, and prices have shown no change of importance. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

PERSONATING A COUNTY COURT OFFICER.- This morning a man, named Ealdon, was fully committed for trial on a charge of endeavouring to obtain money of a Mrs. Cathrey by falsely representing himself to be an officer of the Westminster County Court. At Havre, three nights back, a stupid act of vengeance was perpetrated in the nursery of a gardener, named Lecolant—about 1,800 shrubs, and a quantity of other plants, were wantonly destroyed. The damage done was about 2,000 fr. A gold coin, bearing the inscription of Henry V. King of Fngland " and France," and the arms of the two countries, was found buried a few days back near Harfleur, which place the King, it may be remembered, had besieged. PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY OF UNITED BROTHERS. —The annual performance in aid of the funds of this charity took place on Tuesday evening, at Sadler's Wells Theatre, under circumstances the most gratifying to the members and friends of the society. The performances consisted of Shakespeare's tragedy of " Othello," and the farce entitled "A Roland for an Oliver." The theatre was literally crammed, and very many were unable to gain admission. A HIT AT PATRONAGE.—A Dumfriesshire clergy man of the past century, who had obtained his parish from the patron, apart from the wishes of his future hearers, was engaged in a diet of visitation. In those days the parochial clergyman was expected to examine both old and young re specting their Scriptural knowledge. " Who made Paul a preacher?" inquired the minister of a shrewd old Presby terian who had little relish for his pastoral services. "It wasna the Duke o' Queensberry, I guess," was the cutting reply.—Scotch Paper. DESTRUCTION OF A WOOL MILL.—The large building on the banks of the Bannock, near Milton, about three miles from Stirling, used as a wool mill by Mr. Reid, was destroyed by fire early on Monday morning. The fire spread with extraordinary rapidity, and in a short time the different floors and the roof of the mill fell in. The ma chinery and materials were totally destroyed. No part of the mill was insured. ®The Warsaw Courier of the lat says :—" The Princess Gortchakoff, wife of the Lieutenant of the King dom of Poland, left Warsaw yesterday, with her daughter, to go abroad."
