In the House of Lords yesterday, Their lordships transacted some trifling business, and adjourned very shortly. In the House of Commons, Lord PALMEP.STON, in reply to Mr. Ferrand, pro mised that the Government would give an early day for the discussion of questions affecting the opera tions in the cotton trade. In reply to Sir John Pakington, Lord C. PAGET stated that the experi ments at Shoeburyness, on Tuesday last, proved conclusively that 51--inch iron plates could easily be pierced by Armstrong and Whitworth guns, but at the same time the Admiralty saw no reason to alter their opinion as to the relative merits of iron and wood in the construction of ships of war. Mr. BAY TER moved a resolut►on declaring that the house was not prepared to sanction a renewal of the Gal way subsidy ; but, after an animated discussion, in which Mr. Gregory, Mr. I3entinck, and Mr. Whiteside took part, Lord Palmerston defended the proposed contract, and the proposition was rejected by a majority of 63. Mr. Whiteside having called attention to the fact that Hayes, the murderer of Mr. Braddell, was still at large, Sir Robert Peel stated that every possible effort had been made to secure the assassin. It was rumoured that Hayes wa s in America, but Sir Robert believed that he was still in Ireland, and, although there was reason to suspect that he was sheltered and protected by the peasantry, there was some ground to hope tkat Le would ultimately be krought to justice. The House went into a committee of supply ou the army estimates, when a vote of £321,881 for the Volunteers was agreed to, an l after some dis cussion the chairman reported progress. The Ma rine Mutiny Bill, after pawing through committee, was read a third time and passed. The other busi ness was disposed of, and the House adjourned until Monday. Much as the people delight in the complete suc cess of enterprises undertaken for the public benefit, while they conduce to private advantage, yet a strong feeling of sympathy exists in favour of those who partly fail in their first attempt. Now the case of the great Atlantic Telegraph Company is one that partakes of both. The attempt, however doubtful at first, from the vastness of the venture, was ultimately successful, to the joy of the par ticipators in the company and the wonderment of an admiring world. America was actually brought into speaking terms with Europe, and for a brief period interchanged mutual sentiments of reciprocity and delight. But the joy was transient, and the disappointment at its cessation unspeakable. Then the unbelievers from the beginning, and they were many, partly exulted that " their doubts had turned out to be too true, and their well-founded suspicions were proved to have been correct." Such `mere the bouncing expressions of the false pro phets, as the original success fully proved. But it is sew / to prophesy after the event, and to take Credit beyond their own sagacity or book knowledge. Live and learn i 3 better and more modest than to rail and doubt. Everything has a beginning and must abide tho test of time in l a bour and patience until exper i ence crown its faith with deserved success. Now, th e promoters of that g i g antic undertaki n g , though unsuccessful in their laudable enterpris e, still rem ain undaunt e d. Th ey What bas are disappointed but not dis p ir ited. succeeded once gives good assurance o f a more happy and continuous success in a secon d attempt while their knowledge is greatly en lar g ed and their confidence stimulated to renewed exertions, for th e prize is worthy of their highest ambition to realise. Time is money they say, and as knowledge is power, so to contract distance by communicating knowledge in the shortest possible time is to corn meree invaluable, and to humanity au incalculable b nsfit by the frank and ready interchange of ideas. It would serve to promote peace and good will among the nations —and almost render war impossible. At least it would so far alleviate the inducements to angry feelings by ready ez.planations, that the c h ance; o wa" would be greatly reduced. Doubts would be calmly resolved, and a good understand ing be ultimately established to the mutual satisfaction of all. This is surely an object beyond all price. It was on this principle that the directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company determined on prosecuting their original intention, and after having waited for some years perfecting their plans and acquiring all the information which the progress of science has since brought tc bear on telegraphic communication, both above ground and under water, they now consider the time more opportune for making their next grand move. At the meeting held on Thursday, at the London Tavern, the Right Hon. J. S. WORTLEY stated fully the various points in view, the exertions that had been made in diffusing information on the subject. He said also that meetings had been held in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Bradford, Sheffield, and other commercial communities, in all of which the project had been most favourably entertained, and promises of support liberally given, FO that with a little additional subscription they would be en abled to resume operations. The best feeling pre vails among the mercantile classes of New York in support of this great national undertaking, and we cordially wish it all the success it so truly merits. It will link the Old World with the New—pro mote civilisation, peace, and good-will among the nations, and realise the wish of the Poet— " That man and man the world o'er Shall brothers be and a' that !" The keenness of the prescient gaze of a great Humourist like Alr. DICKENS, certainly, when brought into comparison with it, presents the strongest contrast to that affected by men like the author of " Apocalyptic Sketches," ecclesiasti cal dreamers, who would fain transform the pulpit into a tripod. More than one evidence has of late been afforded that the faculty of forecasting events, of looking straight on into the future, appertains rather to Mr. DICKENS than to Dr. CUMMING. As extraordinary an illustration of this prescience, on the part of our popular Novelist, as could well have been imagined, was commented upon some little time since, very appreciatively, by our brilliant contemporary, the Saturday Review. It bore reference to the perfect accuracy with which Boz had estimated the social condition of the North American Republic, now many years ego, when he was travelling through it jotting clown the memoranda for his "Notes," and meditating the transatlantic chapters of his then forthcoming serial story of "Martin Chuzzlewit." How truth fully those American Sketches by Boz were drawn and coloured throughout, later occurrences, the occurrences of the last two years, have very sig luny demonstrated. Eden was not more pho graphically like the marshy, swampy reality of the Cairo of the West, than the swarms of SCADDERS, Mrs. HOMINIES, and JEFFERSON BRICKS, thrown to the surface by the seething up of the Great Civil War between the Federals and Confederates, were the express images and repetitions in flesh and blood of their imaginary prototypes in the famous Anglo- American fiction referred to. An equally remarkable jumping to the right con clusion was that which led Mr. DICKENS, as by an instinct of genius, a few years afterwards, to anti cipate all the evidence that has since been long and copiously accumulating in corroboration of his own opinion, where, in one of the closing chapters of " David Copperfield," he illustrated the folly, the absolute fatuity of that Prison Discipline, which has since then, in spite of his irony, more than ever been systematically carried out — illustrating its utter futility, its absolutely crass stupidity, by his specimens of the Model Felon in the persons of URIAII HEEP and Mr. LITTIMER. A sentence occurring at the ninth page of the pamphlet, referred to by us only yesterday, as but just come to hand from Bermuda, recalls to us rather vividly that sarcastic glimpse into the prison corridor, presented to our view a dozen years ago, in one of the later scenes of DAVID COPPERFIELD. " All prisoners," says the Bermuda Pamphleteer, who are well conducted are entitled to their release at the expiration of their mitigated sen tences ; and, as hood conduct consists simply in abs tinence from breach of prison regulations, and the proper performance of the labour task assigned, no particular efforts are necessary to obtain it." Precisely the very impression produced upon the novel reader's mind, when loitering (so long ago !) over those amusing descriptions of the wonderful reformation effected by the over care of the authorities for Mr. LITTIMER and URIAH HEEP. Time has added nothing whatever to the poignancy, as we may call it, of the great observer's appreciation of the exquisite absurdity of the coddling system of Prison Disci pline. LEECH'S woodcut in Punch recently re presenting the pampered convicts nursing their strength while in durance vile, for a future career of garotting out of doors when released with the re• quisite ticket-of-leave, are but supplementary in their way to the pen and ink sketches of HEEP and LITTIMER, inculcating pretty much the same iden tical truth, only under a somewhat different guise. Vet, in spite of the mass of evidence long pouring in increasingly beforo us, demonstrative in the clearest manner of the error of our ways in dealing with Felony, both by means of the laxity of our Prison Discipline, and by means of the uncertainty of the operation of Penal Servitude—an uncertainty, this latter, almost equivalent, this latter, to the proverbially "glorious uncertainty of the law "—it would be hard to define what headway had yet been made towards the revision of our humane but blundering scheme in dealing with our criminal population. There is this new Commission of Inquiry that is just completing its sittings, that is, upon the eve of drawing up its report prior, to its being laid in the form of a blue book upon the table of the Imperial Parliament. That, at the first blush, at the first mention of it , would seem to g i ve us a prospect of a change for the bett er , b e i ng at last really and truly afoot. Unhappily, however, even before the Commission has absolutely termi nated its labours, before its report has veritably reached its completion, rumours are flying about abundantly in the clubs and the committee rooms, in the precincts of the Lords and Commons down at Westminster, and among the official regions of Whitehall and Downing-street—rumours distinctly enough to the effect that after all nothing whatever is to come of it That again an elaborately-prepared Commis sion of Inquiry has been directing its energies sys tematically and assiduously to the discovery of the most effectual means and method How Not To Do It. In the Report there will be an immense number of inquiries, addressed by different members of the Commission to the various persons brought in turn under examination before the Commission. And to each of those questions duly numbered, the answers (also duly numbered) of the respective witnesse s successively under e • xaminatton, will be found i n the future Bl ue - Book accurately reported, very neatly printed, and most carefully cor rec t e d an d r evised. But —all the whil e — t he conclusion will t u rn out, we are assured, a foregone conclusion Alas ! there is no great diffi cu l ty in believing it. It is merely an old, old story_ a story th a t we are long since rich nearly to death of—told. all over again prcoiecly in the anwc, way. :Let u , h ov; at -T-~~.~ y' _.~_. THE SUN, LONDON, SATUIIDA.Y EVENING, MATICI-I 21, 1363. least, that this time—in regard to a grievance that has at length become not only so notorious, but so wholly odious and unendurable as this double grievance of a mistaken Prison Dis cipline, and an ill-arranged system of Penal Ser vitude—the House of Commons will no longer tolerate the usual hocus peens of an inoperative Commission. The grievance is, surely, too great and too flagrant to allow of its being any longer thus quietly, and (es it could alone be if allowed to pass) disgracefully cushioned by another of these delusive Commissions. There are men in the House of Commons, we trust, who will not submit to re main apathetic spectators of a repetition of official proceedings like these, proceedings so seriously detrimental to the public interests, and so directly insulting also, we cannot but think, to the dignity and to the common sense of the Legislature. We are glad to see that the inequalities of the Income-tax are not to be left altogether unnoticed this session. Mr. HUBBARD returns to the charge, and will move on Tuesday next, "That the inci dence of an Income-tax touching the products of invested property should fall upon net income, and that the net amounts of industrial earnings should, previous to assessment, be subject to such an abatement as may equitably adjust the burthen thrown upon intelligence and skill, as compared with property." The principle embodied in this motion is one which we have always strenuously advocated, and it seems strange that its manifest justice and common sense has not secured the support of the majority of the members of the Lower House. The difference existing between the real value of an income derived from secure and permanent sources, such as landed property, or funded investments, and the fluctuating means of a professional man or a clerk, whose earnings are dependent on individual health and strength as well as on the caprice of the public, is so very evident and unquestionable, that it seems at first sight marvellous that they should ever have been rated together. The owner of a small secured property may lose his health or his eyesight with impunity, so far as his means of livelihood are concerned, but he who earns his living by daily or weekly exertion must pay the same amount, although he knows that next year his income may be reduced to nothing. The sum extorted from him by the Commissioners would serve to effect an insurance for his family, but the House of Commons, consisting, for the most part, of men happily independent of such considerations, refuses to deal with the grievance. Year by year it has been spoken of, and cast aside to be considered some other time. The wrongs of property are more likely to be heeded than the claims of " intelligence and skill," but we should hope Mr. HUBBARD'S measure would find some earnest supporters. The case is so simple and self-evident that the mast thoughtless can at once perceive the injus tice, so easily rectified that the most indifferent can find a remedy. In commercial dealings the probable duration of an engagement is always taken into account in considering its value, and surely the uncertain tenure of life incomes should weigh in the official scale. Mr. HUBBARD'S mo tion is very fairly worded and deserves support, but we can scarcely hope that Mr. GLADSTONE will adopt the principle set forward. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is known, has a particular affection for the income tax as it stands. We may remember the reluctance with which he told us he had abandoned the delightful vision of a shilling income-tax, so easily calculated, and giving such delighttul re turns. Any interference with his favourite branch of taxation is always very ungraciously received, and we are therefore not sanguine about the result of Mr. HUBBARD'S sensible and appropriate motion. The answer will inevitably be that all such mat ters will be discussed in the approaching Budget, and the result of that Budget will most likely leave precarious and fixed incomes in the same position. We hope the House will at all events raise its voice in favour of a reform, as manifestly called for, and we must also hope that if public opinion, common sense, and justice are powerless with our present financier, they may have some more satisfactory effect upon his successor. stabbed to death, and Mr. Finkenstone was dragged from the waggon, pierced with 26 bayonet wounds, stripped, and robbed of 5,800 silver roubles which ho had about him. He only escaped the fate of the others by feigning to be dead; and when the Poles came up, after beating off the Russians, they took him to the camp of Langiewiez, who, at Mr. Fin kenstone's r( quest, sent him back to Cracow, whence he has addressed a complaint to the British Ambas sador at Vienna on the subject. SIR WILLIAM STEVENSON, K.C.B, We have to record the death of this excellent public servant. He died on the 9th Feb. in the island of which he was governor. He was by birth and extraction a West Indian. His mother, a Miss James, of the Island of Jamaica, was descended from the Colonel Richard James mentioned in the second volume of the Annual Register, that for the year 1759, as having died in Jamaica at the patriarchal age of 103. This Colonel James is memorable as having been the first person born of English parents in that island after it had been taken from the Spa niards by the expedition Cromwell sent out in 1655, under Penn and Venables. Again, the mother of this Miss James was a Miss Lawrence, also de scended from one of the original, and by far the most illustrious, settler in that island—that Henry Lawrence who had been President of Cromwell's Council, and who at the Restoration withdrew from his native country to form for himself a new home where he might hope to remain undisturbed. It is this Lawrence whoao memory is embalmed in Mil ton's sonnet, commencing with the line, — Lawrence, of virtuous father virtuous son. The late Sir William Stevenson, thus descended from what may be called the historic families of one of our oldest colonies, commenced life as a barrister. Having been raised to the judicial bench in his native island, he was subsequently promoted by the Duke of New castle to the Governorship of the British set tlements at Honduras. Before he had served there for the period such appointments are usually held he was poomoted to the Government of Mauritius. At Mauritius Sir 'William's abilities, tact, and devo tion to the public service found a more fitting field for their display. He became one of the most po pular of our colonial governors. This was shown by the sensation caused in the island at his death, and by the feeling displayed at his funeral. He was carried off in the 58th year of his age by an attack of acute dysentery. Losses cf this kind— and we are only too frequently called upon to record them—form no inconsiderable part of the price which this country has to pay for its widely extended empire.—Law Times, this day. THE LATE REIGATE ELECTIGN.—On Thursday evening a meeting of the electors of Reigate was held by requisition, in the Town-hall, Redhill, to hear a statement of the circumstances under which the petition against the return of Mr. Gower had been withdrawn. Mr. Gower had, it appeared, in a letter to a friend, intimated his intention not to offer himself for re-election upon the dissolution of the present Parliament, and to do all in his power to unite the Liberal party in the borough; and on the Nth of this pledge it had not been deemed advisable to proceed, with the petition. This explanation was deemed satisfactory by the meeting. THE AMERICAN PUMA OR PANTHER.--Mr. Fenwiek Hele sends us the following extract from a letter written by his brother in Canada West :—" About a month since I went out with some friends shooting white rabbits ; we got one, and had a most glorious and successful chase after a North American panther. Our largo blood hound and foxhound brought him to bag at last. He looked just like a large tiger going up the tree which ho had run for. I was within a gun-shot, and ran as fast as I could to get nearer, when one of my friends drilled him through with a bullet from his rifle. The puma fell into the watei out of his depth; the dogs pounced upon him, and kept one under water whilst defending himself from the other.

Despatches received at the Russian Embassy here confirm the news of the defeat of Langiewicz, who has been conveyed to Tarnow. The insur• gents lost 400 killed, and 54 taken prisoners. The Constigutionnel of this morning contains an article on the Polish insurrection, signed by its chief editor, M. Limayrac, who says therein :-- "If the defeat of the insurrection be confirmed, fortune will offer a noble part to the Emperor of Russia. It is amnesty which completes such vic tories, and the world would applaud the Czar if, after having subdued the inaurrection by force, he disarmed it by magnanimity." CRACOW, MAEra 20, EVENING. The following aro the details of the battle fought between the Russians and the insurgents, com manded by General Langiewicz : The battle commenced on the 18th inst., near Zigoscie. The cavalry and waggons of the insur gents were dispersed, after a desperate fight. Langiewicz and his staff disappeared from the field during the engagement, which continued till dark. The scythemen and Chasseurs, after holding their ground to the last moment, under a heavy fire, withdrew on the 19th inst. to Vislitza. Langiewicz and his friends crossed the Vistula and gave themselves up to the Austrian Hussars, who conducted them to Tarnow. The insurgents are rallying at Vislitza, and are provisionally c. mmanded by Colonel Smeehowski. LEMBERG, MARCH 21. Langiewiez, with several officers of his staff, arrived yesterday in Gallicia, and presented to the authorities a French passport bearing a strange name. After having replied to the questions which were put to him, h 3 left without his identity being discovered, but was afterwards brought by the Austrian Hussars to Tarnow. FRANCE. PARIS, MARC 4 21. The trial of MM. Calzado and Garcia, for cheat ing at cards, took place yesterday before the tri bunal of correctional police. Calzado waa sentenced to 13 months', and Garcia to 5 years' imprisonment. The Constitutionnel remarks upon the vote of the Senate, and appears satisfied with the speech of 11. Billault, declaring, at the same time, sympathy with Poland and confidence in the Emperor. It is impossible, it is said, to have shown with more elo quence and elevation of mind than did M. Billault the feeling of the Government, and the Senate, in agreeing to it, has evidenced once more its patriotism and its wisdom. The Opinion Nationale announces that a despatch from Cracow declares that Langiewiez has gained a new victory over the Russians, and that 10,000 men were engaged on both sides. The patriotic cause engages more and more the population, and no one can over estimate the significance of the re signation , of so many influential personages. Poland, in aiding herself, has revived all the sym pathies of civilised people. Public opinion mani fests itself in favour of this sacrificed nation. The Steele says that the vote of the Senate does not ac cord with its wishes. We persist in thinking for the reasons which we have already said, that the first body in the State could have done better. The demand we made reserved for the Government the right of decision as well as the order of the day could have done. Far from awakening passions, it would have calmed them, it would have given satisfaction to the public opinion, without compromising the authorities.

Yesterday morning a body of Russian troops, consisting of two detachments of the Smolensk re giment, and same Cossacks and dragoons, entered the village of Giebultow, situated a mile to the north-east of Miechow, and belonging to M. Ladis las Bielski. This corps was commanded by a colo nel whose name I have been unable to ascertain. One portion, which had already killed several per sons on the road, broke into the estate, where there was not a single armed insurgent, only the proprie tor with his household, and a few visitors from the neighbourhood. The soldiery seized 12 persons on the estate, and, striking and wounding them, dragged them into tt e inn of the village. Here a terrible scene took place. The savage soldiers amused themselves by stabbing their innocent vic tims with bayonets and lances, and laughed at their cries and protestations. Three of them, including M. Severyn Mieszkowski, died on the spot, and the remaining nine were very severely, or mortally wounded. Among these was M. Wiesiolowski, who received several deep bayonet wounds, and is now at Cracow, together with M. Katarzynski, an em ploye from Miechow, who had come to Giebultow oe a visit. All the killed and wounded, except two of the latter, who contrived to escape, were plundered by the Russians. While this disgraceful scene was being enacted, an officer named Lacroix stood calmly looking on, together with other Russian officers. The rest of the soldiers began to plunder the house of the proprietor, but the colonel here first inter fered, and a Polish detachment just then being seep to approach the village, the Russians took to flight, leaving the wounded people behind them, who were attended to by the Poles when they came up. Almost at the same time another outrage was committed by the Russians not far from Giebultow. Mr. L. Finkenstone, a British subject, who had crossed the frontier on the 14th with a passport, signed by Enid Russell, dated 27th March, 1862, and duly viscd by the Russian authorities, for the purpose of buying corn, was stopped at a village named Gorka. On being brought before the Rus sian commandant he showed his passport, and although no arms, nor anything else calculated to excite suspicion, were found either on him or on the lady who accompanied him, he was informed that it would be necessary to detain him, in order that ho might give further explanations to Prince Szadrowskoj. He was accordingly compelled to pass the night on a waggon, which was guarded by a sen tinel against the attacks of the soldiery. During the night several persons who had been arrested and Wounded were also placed round the carriage. Next morni ng ( t h e la t h) a b o d y o f r o l es a t tac k e d the Russians —the major in command defended himself with half his men, the other half exclaiming, " Kill the prisoners !" and in spite of the efforts of lo officer, who defended th e p r i s oners with re 'olver against the so ldi ery , th ese ru shed on theii rearmed victims, bayonet in Laud.

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND. By a proclamation of the 12th inst., which is signed by Langiewicz, and counter-signed by M. Valery Tomezynki, his Secretary-General ad interim, we learn that the Polish Government is already formed. The Government is composed of four persons, who are at the head of the Departments fur War, Finances, Foreign Affairs, and Internal Matters. The names of the persons in question will for a time be kept secret. The edicts of the Civil Government will be published by the Dictator. All the ordinances of the Dictator will be counter signed by one of his secretaries. Representatives will be sent to the foreign Powers. The civil and military authorities in the kingdom will continue to act as heretofore nutil they receive fresh instruc tions from the new Government. The appointment of M. Bentkowski, a member of the Prussian Diet, to be Chief of the Genera Staff, has given great satisfaction to the insurgents. Bentkowski, who once served in the Prussian Artillery, greatly dis tinguished himself in Hungary in the year 1849. The most important news from Russia is that the city of Kiev has been placed in a state of siege, and that a powerful insurgent corps has made its appear ance near Bar, in Podolia. The insurrection now extends from Konin (Government of Warsaw) iu the west to Kiev in the east. The distance of the one place from the other is about 700 English miles. Bar, in the district of Mohilev, is on the frontier of Bessarabia, and it is, therefore, to be presumed that the insurgents there are under the command of Poles who went from Moldavia to Podolia. Pinsk, Sluk, and Novogrodek, in Lithuania, were a few days ago placed in a state of siege, and something of importance must have oc curred in Voihynia, as the telegraphic communi cation between Brody-Zarnok and Warsaw is inter rupted. It is a fact worthy of mention that the telegraphic wires to the east of Moscow have re cently been cut. On the 13th inst. the great rail way viaduct near Pietrikow (Government of War saw) was destroyed by the insurgents. While the Polish Dictator was at Goszcza (he passed five days there) he reorganized his corps, which now consists of about 7,000 men. The infantry battalions now have five companies or 750 men. One of the com panies is armed with rifles, and the other four are composed of sithemen. The cavalry- was also divided into squadrons, and many of the men got fresh horses, Shortly before Langiewicz quitted Goszcza he obtain 2,000 guns and some ammuni tion from Prussia. As a " measure of precaution " the Russian authorities at Vilna have arrested about 500 Lithuanian landed propritors. The latest in te.ligence from Cracow is that Langiewicz is moving in the direction of Staszaw and Sandomierz, but it is not at all unlikely that the news is incorrect General Count Mensdorff Pouilly was at Cracow the day before yesterday, and it is expected that he will come here for a few hours. Russian corps from Czenstochau and Kielce are pursuing Langiewicz, but the roads are so bad that they find it extremely difficult to move their artillery. In a Warsaw letter, which has to-day been put into my hands it is said that the demoralization of the Russian troops passes all belief. Officers frequently disap pear suddenly, and it hardly admits of a doubt that they are " put out of the way" (beseitigt) by their men. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, March 2U,—The spirit and activity which prevailed in this market on Tuesday have entirely disappeared. With the change which has since taken place in the Liverpool cotton market, the feeling here has undergone a very decided change. Not only do buyers seem less inclined to give the extreme rates which would have been given on Tuesday, but even where sel ers are disposed to accept rather easier terms no business can be done. In fact, there seems to be almost a total suspent ion of business to-day. The market for yarns has been flat, and the only inquiry we find is for the class suitable to the Calcutta trade, which keep in fear request, at extreme prices. For all other markets there is little or nothing doing. On Tuesday yarns were in request for nearly every market in the world, and the change can only be accounted for on tho supposition that the many orders known to be held for some weeks past by agents were on that day in great part executed. The pro bability is that the greater part of the orders which had accumulated while prices bad been gradually giving way for some time past were precipitated somewhat prematurely on the market on Tuesday, in consequence of the concurrent in fluenco of good advices from India and a rising cot ton market at Liverpool, and that these orders were really so small in the aggregate as to have left little pressing business behind to sustain the im pression produced at the moment. In cloth the subsidence of business since Tuesday has been of a more marked character than in yarn. The impres sion on Tuesday was that the greater part of the purchases, which were for India, were intended for shipment and not for speculation, but the fact that the demand fell off almost immediately upon a change in the cotton market tends to a different conclusion. Sellers are asking rather full rates, but to effect sales they would have had to submit to a decline. Buyers, however, do not seem dis posed to operate on any terms to-day. In other classes of goods, as well as those for India, the mar ket is flat. The inquiry for the home trade is very limited, and has led to little or no business. The Greeks have not received their letters, and are awaiting the arrival of the mail. The market for home trade yarns is rather easier, but, even with this advantage, manufacturers have not been able to make offers which will tempt buyers. In cloths there is no animation in any branch of the business, and the market closes quite as flat as at any time during the day. CARDIFF, 19th.—The iron trade continues mode rately active. A fair demand exists, especially from Spain, France, Italy, and other continental coun tries. The foreign railways now contemplated are expected to bring large orders for rails and other railway iron. Prices remain without any material alteration ; but the tend' ucy is downward. Tre • forest, Hirwain, and Penyvarren works continue at a standstill, and there is no prospect of their start ing. The coal trade is quiet. The majority of he collieries are working regularly. High freights and the difficulty to obtain vessels continue to re tard the trade to some extent. There is no change to report in quotations. NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—The attendance of mer. chants and manufacturers at this Exchange-hall to-day was not so numerous as on Tuesday. The demand for lace yarns was quiet, but holders asked full prices. There was not much doing in hosiery yarn, an 1 prices were similar to those of last mar ket day. Silk of all kinds makes extreme prices. The business done in brown nets was small, and prices were again lower. LONDON GAZE T TE---Yeiterday. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Mencit 17. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Wm.

RUSSIA AND CIMASSIA.—Letters from Constan tinople speak of a diversion which may be of some service to the Poles, on the side of the Caucasus. In obedience to orders received before the events in Poland, the Russian troops invaded the territory of some tribes which have hitherto been independent. The resistance was obstinate and desperate. In the last enco unter the Russians lost 1,050 men. But the Circassians paid dearly for thei r victory; 500 of them were killed, including one of thei chiefs. The Russian general then proposed a truce for several years; but the news of the Polish insurrection had in the meantime arrived at the Circassian camp, and the offer has been rejected. HEALTH OF GARIBALDI —The Paris Frew of yesterday says :—" The health of Garibaldi gives great anxiety to all his friends. Our Turin correspondent wrote some time ago that he did not share the general optimism, and to-day he writes to us that not only is the instep tumified, but the swelling is gaining on the leg, which may bring about grave results. Garibaldi has been compelled to decline the visits which he has frequently received at Caprera." SERIOUS ILLNESS OF SIR TATTON SYKES, BART —We understand that this venerable baronet, who has entered on his 92d year, is at the I resent moment lying prostrate at Sledmere, an attack of dropsy having set in before he had recovered from the bronchitis which laid him up two months ago. From the commencement of the week Sir Tatton has been insensible, and the best medical aid has failed to restore him to consciousness ; and as his legs have begun to rid it is feared he will not survive many hours. Tatton Sykes, his eldest son, at present in Egypt, has been telegraphed for, as well as the rest of his relations.
