Rumours of war, general expectations of a terrible struggle, Turkish esgernese, English gallantry, French promptitude, and the fervent wishes of all persons interested in the pews of Europe; the prosp.rity of cqrnmerce, the blessings of f eedom, arid the glory of civilisation, are this year uni ed with the Easter holidays. Many articles of acre city and convenience being charged very high prices, might have damps I the ardour of all I,articipators in Easter festivi ties ; but the triumphs t success of E. MOSES a d SON in provid ing the newest styles of attire for all classes at the most economicel prices, is the greatest victory ever known in the history of trade. The most amazing variety is associated in their S ring ant Summer Stock; in every department novelty, style, and fashion appear in the most popular forms. The juvenile attire which E. MOSES and SON have prepared for Easter displays the most extraordinary busi ness skill, the most magnificent variety of new materials, endless neveities in style, an I such economy in pri , e as no other house can imitate. Vests and trousers made by E. MOSES and s•ON are the most elegant and artistic productions ever exhibited, displaying more variety. fitting with more correctness and comfort, and e-arged con siderably lower prices than are usually demanded. In ladies' and children's attire, h. siery of every elegant and useful description, in Hats a d Caps, Boots and Shoes, &c, the Establishments or E.

A. heavy coal train was proceeding through Clarborough tunnel, four miles from Retford, on its way to the south, followed by a light goods train. The tunnel being full of steam, the driver of the latter did not perceive the train before him, and dashed into it. His engine, after smashing the guard's van to atoms, mounted on the top of the coal train, and then turned over on its side. The driver was killed on' the spot, and his body had not been extricated on Tuesday night. The fireman was taken up almost lifeless from the scalds and wounds he had re ceived. The guard, whose van was smashed, escaped, he having got out to signal back the approaching train, and sheltered himself in one of the niches in the side of the tunnel. It was between three and four h , surs before a passage could be opened on a single line of rails through the immense mass of debris caused by the accident, and the prostrate engine and other obstructions had not be en removed at a late llour on Tuesday night. We have received by express fnlm Marseilles despatches from India and China in anticipation of the overland mail. The following summary of intelligence is dated Bombay, March 14 : The last fortnight has been unusually barren of incident, but the little news there is is good. The north-west frontier is quieter than it has been for years, and the Delhi Gazette of the 22d of February states that " Dost Mahomed has sent Jubbar Khan as envoy to Major Edwardes, Commissioner of Peshawur, to beg that bygones be bygones, that the past should be forgiven, and to declare his readiness to join us against the Russians, Persians, and all other comers. The report requires con firmation, but it has not been contradicted, and is not improbable. Dost Mahomed is one of the shrewdest rulers in Asia ; he is well acquainted with our power, and he cannot but see that the policy of the Czar is at least as aggressive as our own, and that, our troops and magazines, being much near to Cabul than those of Russia can be for many years to come, a quarrel with the British is much more to be dreaded than one with Russia. A close Affghan alliance would be much more ad vantageous to British India than a Persian one, for were the Affghan passes closed, an invading army could only enter by those debouchin, on Scinde, and there it would h ave t h e army of Bombay on its right flank, and that of the Punjab on its left, and the great Indian desert in its front. The news from Bunnell is not of so favourable a character. An insurrection has broken out in the province of Bassein, which has hitherto been the only quiet portion of our Burmese acquisitions. Immediately it was annexed the Commissioner, 'Major Fytch, with the assistance of Capt.. Rennie of the Indian navy, a party of English seamen, and his own native levies, cleared the province of the enemy by a partisan campaign, which forms one of the few brilliant episodes of the late Burmese war. Since this no dacoit has dared to show himself in Major Fytch's districts, cultivation has been unin terrupted, and the province is now the granary of Pegue ; the late outbreak can, therefore, be only attributed to political motives. A short time since two Burmese noblemen, who had been formerly employed in the province, arrived from Ava and ;et up the royal standard near its northern extre mity, and collected some hundreds of followers. Major Fytch immediately went at them, with all the force he could collect at Bassein, and by the last accounts had beaten them, after some hard fighting, in which he had cut down one of the chiefs himself, hut the Burmese Governor effected his escape, and was still at large in the jungles with a considerable force. The withdrawal of the small garrison of Bassein, which had accompanied the commissioner, caused disturbances, in the vicinity, and gave rise to apprehensions cf an attack on the town. Major Fytch was accordingly summoned, and, on his ar rival it was ascertained that a body of the rebels had been detached to attack the place, and were within five hours' march of it. His return pre vented the attack, and on the following day he marched against the enemy, whom, according to the last accounts, he has again beaten. The mail that left Bassein on :the 22d of January returned on the 28th, having found the villages on both sides of the creek, through which it usually passed, in the hands of the Burmese ; the mails were accord ingly despatched by the river to Rangoon. A company of the 19th Madras Native Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant Shuldham, 26th Madras Native Infantry, had fallen in with a strong body of dacoits on their way to Bassein by water. Lieutenant Shuldham landed his men, leaving a native officer with a small party to protect the boats, and attacked the dacoits and burnt their village, before reaching which he had to march a long dis tance. On his return he found the subadar had been attacked, but with his small party very gal lantly defended himself. A gang of some 200 dacoits, or 'patriots,' as some people are beginning to call them, were committing outrages in the southern part of the Dalla district, and four com panies of the Pegue Light Infantry had been sent to look after them, and an armed party was despatched in boats up the Bassein creek for the same purpose, but the result of the combined ex pedition was not known. An army, under the direction of the Court of Ava, is said to be ap proaching the frontier, and the Chronicle considers that the end will be the subjugation of the entire Burmese empire. Private letters from Tonghoo announce a brush between a detachment of Burmese regular troops and our forces stationed there. Considerable loss is said to have been sustained on both sides, and two officers of the Ist Madras Fusiliers, Captain Geils and Lieutenant Grant, were severely wounded. The contest is said only to have been decided by the bayonet. The latter collision was occasioned by an attack on the party which is now engaged under Major Allen in marking out the British boundary near Tonghoo. A detachment of the Madras Fusiliers (Europeans) went out to support them, Ind routed the enemy after a severe encounter, in which the latter showed unusual pluck, making a hand-to-hand fight of it. Both the officers with the detachment were wounded. Accordin g to some accounts, the attack wa s no t ma d e by Burmese ;oldiers, but by the subjects of au independent Shah Chief, through whose land our boundary passes. In consequence of these collisions rumours of disasters in Burmah became rife in the Calcutta Bazaar, and' the people were asking, Who has been killed in Burmah ?' The Bengal Ilurkaru of the following day endeavoured to allay this appre hension : " We believe that the official reports received from Rangoon are calculated to set at rest all the apprehen sions which were engendered by the vague rumours afloat yesterday. There has, as far as we can learn, been neither death nor disaster in Pegue, and certainly no as sassination. An attack had begn made upon the party making out the boundary near Tonghoo, and Captain Geils and Lieutenant Grant, of the Ist Madras Fusi liers, had been wouuned, but no officers had been killed, and the attacking party was repulsed with great slaugh ter. The Bassein outbreak, of which intelligence was brought by the previous steamer, had been effectually quelled, and all was quiet in that district." Making every allowance for the exaggeration of alarmists, it is evident that little progress has as yet been made in establishing a state of peace and security in our Burmese territories. The British force occupying Pegue is maintained on a war foot ing, and is still, I believe, styled "the army of Ava ;". it consists of 18 regiments of infantry, five of which are British, 11 of Madras and Bengal sepoys, and 2 (the Arracan Battalion and Pegue Light Infantry) local ; 1 regiment of irregular cavalry, 5 companies of artillery, and 4 of sappers and miners,—altogether 18,000 or 19,000 men, with 50 guns. These troops are divided among five stations—Rangoon, Tonghoo, and Moulmein, held by the Madras troops ; and Narringan and Thayet Myoo, occupied by the Bengal portion of the force. The two local' regiments occupy the Tharawaddy district ; the garrison of Pegue is a, detachment from the Rangoon force. The Ton ghoo force provides for the defence of Shoy-gyu, and the Moulmein force furnishes detachments for Bassein, Sitang, Tavoy, and Mergui. Some fighting is going on at Abbas Bunder, in the Persian Gulf. Th e au thorities of that place have offered to pay tribute to the Shah, but refuse to allow the Persian troops to enter their town ; they were accordingly attacked, but the Muscat authorities immediately sent out three vessels and 2,000 men, under the command of Mahomed Ben Salem, to the Assistance of Abbas, and large rein forcements were to follow. " The Chief of Abon jag" was also to render assistance to Abbas. The Persians had been compelled to retreat, but had returned with a larger force ; the fighting appears to have recommenced, for the latest accounts from Muscat report that distant cannonading had been heard at sea in passing Abbas. Should the Per sians take part with Russia, these feuds may be turned to some good account. The trial of Quarter-Master Gillespie, of Her Majesty's 98th Regiment, for the wilful murder of his native servant, has commenced. Colonel Gough, C. 8., and Brigadier-General Tennant, G.C,8., were dangerously ill—the former at Baverly, and the latter at Lahore. The head quarters of the Bengal Artillery are at length re moved from Dumdum, near Calcutta, to Meerut, near Delhi. The rapid progress of the Indian electric telegraph reflects the highest credit on Dr. O'Shaughtiessy and his staff; the telegraphic communication be tween Calcutta and the Punjab frontier at Loo diana will probably be completed before this reaches England. Dr. O'Shaughnessy pledged himself to the Governor-General to open all the lines between Calcutta, Delhi, and Bombay, ex tending over 3,000 miles, for regular correspon dents, in two years from November, 1853, He has now further pledged himself to the public, in a letter to the Englishman, to resign his Office and make room for some better man, if he does not complete these lines within half the time, and at 20 per cent. under the estimated cost. I n t h e concluding passage of his letter he states that, after having had "as ext ens i ve opportunities of observation as any man h as y et enjoyed, he knows the English system of ele c t r i c telegraph to be th e worst in construction, the worst in organisation, and the very worst in practical working, of all those adopted in Europe or America." lam con fident that competent persons, acquainted with the modification of electric telegraphs used . in America and Germany, will agree with the opinion thus expressed by Dr. O'Shaughnessy, and I have often been astonished that the marked inferiority and enormous comparative cost of the English sys tem has not been authoritatively noticed. Colonel Outram is now at Bombay, but leaves for Baroda on the 17th inst. The Settanee Jeetab ' how is dead. Her death having immediately fol lowed the reinstatement of her champion in the Baroda Residency is of course vulgarly 'attributed to poison ; but, as the Settanee had been indis posed for some weeks previously, there do not ap pear to be any reas ona bl e groun d s f or suc h suspi cion. Lord Elphiustone went, on the morning of March 13, by special train from Bombay to Callian, and thus opened th e ra il way li ne as far as that station,! no train having ever heretofore gone the entire length of Callian. Traffic along the line will now commence almost immediately. The extended line to Shahpore, 16 miles beyond Callian, has been dommenced. Lord Elphinstone and the Commander-in -Chief are still at the Presidency. Owing to the native holydays the general and money market is low and dull. CHINA. HONG KONG, FEB. 25. The mail of the 24th of December reached us on the 13th inst. The Bth of January mail is looked for hourly. Our dates from Shanghai are to the 17th inst. We have to announce by this mail the important intelligence of the apparent success of the Russian Admiral in negotiating for the opening of Japan to all nations. The Russian screw steamer Vostock arrived at Shanghai from Nagasaki on the 10th inst., and left again for that place on the 11th. She brought the news that the Emperor of Japan had consented to negotiate, and had sent high mi. nisters to treat with the Russian Admiral, and had given him a great dinner at Nagasaki. They have positively announced to him (such is the lanuguage used), that they intend to "open up," but require time to prepare. There can be no doubt the visit of Commodore Perry last season has greatly con tributed to this desirable and important issue. The American squadron had not arrived at Na gasaki when the Vostock left on the 3d inst. The American store-ship Supply had arrived at Woo sung from Loochoo, but nothing further had tran spired. Pekin Gazettes down to the 13th of January have been received, but offer nothing of interest. The insurgents, it appears, have evacuated Tan- Chau, on the north entrance of the Grand Canal, and the Imperialists have taken possession of it, which is considered a great victory. At Shanghai a Custom-house has been re-esta blished, close to the foreign ground, and recognised by the representatives of the three Treaty Powers, and the Taoutae expects to maintain the position. We have nothing worth recording from Ningpo or Foochowfoo. At Amoy all was qui e t, an d th e dealers com menc i ng to do business. We have no political news to mention from Can ton. Trade is going on much as usual, and the teamen preparing to go into the tea districts for next season, and for manufactured goods the markets are looking in a healthy state. Exchange on England is down to 4s. 10d. ; on India, 230 rs. Sir George Bonham proceeded on the 18th inst. in her Majesty's steamer Encounter on a visit to Shanghai and the southern ports, and may be ex pected here about the middle of next month. Admiral Pellew promptly sent out her Majesty's steamer Barracouta on the 15th inst. against a small fleet of pirates, which succeeded in taking six boats and several of the gang, who have been handed over to the Chinese authorities. At Whampoo, were her Majesty's ship Winchester, her Majesty's ship Spartan, and her Majesty's steamer Barracouta. At Canton, her Majesty's brig Lily and the United States' steamer Queen. At Macao, his Imperial (French) Majesty's steamer Colbert. At Amoy, her Majesty's steamer Styx. At Foochow, her Majesty's brig Bittern. At Ningpo, his Imperial (French) Majesty's frigate Constantine. At Shanghai, her Majesty's steamers Salamander, Rattler, and Encounter ; the United States' sloop Ply mou th, an d store-ship Supply. Her Majesty's ship Comus and the brig Grecian are on a cruise. Our latest dates are from England, Doe. 24 ; Bombay, Jan. 18 ; Singapore, Feb. 3 ; Sydney, Jan. 5; Manilla, Feb. 11 ; Shanghai, Feb. 17. COMMERCIAL I NTELLIGEN CE. THE CALCUTTA MARKET. (From the Englishman.) SATURDAY, MARCH 4. The Oriental steamer arrived on the 2d inst., with London dates to the 24th of January last. Our indigo market has been rather dull since the date of our last report ; 21.318 chests, weighing 81,164 fatty maunds, have been shipped up to the 2d inst. inclusive, of which 13,885 chests have gone to Great Britain, 4,858 to France, 754 to North America, and 1,821 to the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. The hide market re mains unaltered. Owing to the scarcity of tonnage a limited business has been done in linseed, which has de clined 3 annas in value. The supplies of rapeseed are small, but more than equal to the deliveries. Rice is as freely shipped as the scarcity of tonnage will permit. Jute continues in active demand. The raw silk market is dull, and it is expected that the advices from home, per mail, will increase the depression in native fliatures. Corahs are in fair request, but the market is sparingly supplied with them., Lacdye and shellac continue lan guid. Very lktle has been done in sugar for Great Bri tain. Operations in saltpetre for the same quarter have been free and at full prices. Our cotton piece goods market has been dull, excepting as regards medium gray and fine white shirtings, gray Ma dapollams, and gray and bleached jaconots, which have improved in value owing to short supplies rather than to any increased activity in the demand. Mule twist has also been rather depressed, and some counts have further declined in price—viz., 20's to 30's, Ito 2 pies ; fine 50's to 60's, a to 1i pies ; ordinary ditto, a pie ; fine 70's to 80's, 1 pie ; 90's to 100's have slightly given way ; 40's remain unchanged. Turkey red yarn is in limited de mand at the reduction quoted in our last report. Orange is in moderate request at previous value. Green con tinues dull. There have been very few transactions in' the metal market, owing to holders standing firm for better prices than the current ones, which dealers are not as yet inclined to exceed. Up -country dealers are very quiet. The money-market has become somewhat less easy, although accommodation on good securities can still be readily procured. The Bank of Bengal has raised its rates of interest and discount 1 per cent. all round ; its rates are now 7 per cent. on private bills and loans on security of goods, and 6 per cent. on deposit of Com pany's paper. Joint-stock shares are in request and firm. Government securities have declined in value ; the quo tations ar© now 106 Transfer Fives; 100, Company's Four's • and 98-8, Sicca. Fours. Exchange for this mail opened at 2-0 for first-class credits at six months' sight. It subsequently fell to 2-01, but finally closed again at 2-oi. A large amount of Oriental and Commercial Bank bills have been taken at 2-0 i and 2-0 a for six months' sight. In document bills sales have been effected at rates varying from 2-03 to 2-04 for the same term. Tonnage is scarce, and freights have further advanced. The quotations to London now are 61. to 61. 10s., salt petre and sugar ; Cl. 55., rice ; seeds nominal ; 61. 10s., Jute ; 6/. 10s. to 7/., 41ides ; 71., indigo ; 61. 10s., lacdye. To the Mauritius, 3-8 to 4 rupees per bag for grain. Indigo.—The market has continued inert since the date of our last report, and though we can quote no further fall in price, yet some management was required to maintain previous rates. The public sales have been few, and, with the exception of a few fine parcels for which the French competed, the biddings have not been lively. The stock now remaining for sale is very small, and estimated at about 15,000 maunds. BOMBAY MARKETS. (Front the Bombay Times.) (From February 28 to March 13.) Our money-market has been dull during the last fort night, business being interrupted by the approach of the Hoolie holidays, which began yesterday. The demand for money, which has been felt for some time in the bazaar, has become more general, and the banks have advanced their rates of discount 1 per cent. In Govern ment securities and bank shares there is no business doing, and our quotations are again lower. The follow ing are the rates to-day :—Government Four per Cent. Loan of 1832-33, 105 to 1054 per 100 siccas ; ditto of 1835 35 and 1842-43, 1001 per 100 Co.'s ; Bank of Bom- Bay shares, 291 per cent, prem. ; Oriental Bank Cor poration, 85. ditto : Commercial Bank, 2614 ditto ; Agra Bank, 42 ditto : Mercantile Bank, 1 2 ditto. Trade during the last fortnight has been dull, and bu siness done to a limited extent. This is owing to the interruption in a measure of the Hoolie holidays, and the small arrival of goods in demand. Freights have slightly advanced since the last report, owing to many of the late arrivals having been put on the berth for China. Tonnage is again becoming scarce, and may be quoted to London and Liverpool 41. 7s. 6d. to 41. 10s. ; to China, 24rs. per candy. Exchange on England remains much as last reported CANTON MARKET REPORT. HONG KONG, FEB. 25.

Oriental Company's steamer Himalaya leaves this day for Malta and Southampton, with upwards of 100 Passengers and the Calcutta mail of the 6th of March. A portion of the Egyptian Railway has been used for the first time in the conveyance of the Passengers from India, who came from the Nile to the canal, near Alexandria, about 50 miles, by this more pleasant and more speedy mode of transit. Lord Harris, the new Governor of Madras, arrived here yesterday by the Austrian steamer from Trieste, and left at once in a steamer placed at his disposal for Cairo, whence his Lordship pro- coeds to Suez, to embark for his seat of government. On the 28th of March eight Egyptian and Tur- A -,,,,-, w.,, t, kish steamers left this port, with 9,000 Egyptian ~..—,,. ' 3 -I ,AP I *---:] troops, placed by Abbas Pasha at the disposal of - ~v-r.

This arises from the scarcity of shipping stuff, as Abbas Pasha, notwithstanding that he holds im mense stocks of grain of all descriptions, and cot ton, will not sell, from some whim of his own, and his Highness is, moreover, so much in want of money that he is raising extra contributions from the already over-pressed miserable inhabitants, and all the Government officials are to be paid in paper at a discount of 25 per cent. in lieu of cash. The small available quantities of grain in the place fetch high prices wheat being worth fully 435. ; beans, 40s. ; and Indian corn, 335. per quarter free on board, and thi s notw i thstan di ng the fall in prices in England. Exchange on London, 98-:, piasters per pound sterling. _ LAUNCH OF THE SCREW-SHIP PRINCE. Yesterday another of the unrivalled fleet of screw. steamers, belonging to the General Screw Steam Navi gation Company, the Prince, of 2,700 tons, 300-horse power, 295 feet long. 43 feet 4 inches broad, and 33,i feet deep, was launched from the gigantic establish ment of Messrs. Mare and Co., of Blackwall. This ship is the twelfth of the superior fleet of this company, including the Harbinger, of 1,000 tons, the Queen of the South, Indiana, Lady Jocelyn, Hydaspes, Mauritius, and the celebrated Argo, that made the pas sago to Australia and back in the shortest time on re cord, each of 1,800 tons ; and the Cicesus, Golden Fleece, Jason, of 2,500 tons, and now the Prince, of 2,700 tons, vessels that have obtained for the company and their builder the character of being the finest, and, for long voyages, the fastest ships in the world. The launch took place at half-past one in the presence of many thousands of spectators, who clustered on the numerous ships building at the adjoining slips, the banks of the creek, and the shores of the Thames. Miss Haywa r d, th e yout hf u l d aughter of one of the propriet ors , named the ship " The Prince, " in honour of his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, and amidst the cheer s of the multitude and the exhilirating music of a band Playing „Rule B r it ann i a ," th e b eautiful fabric glided into the waters of Bow-creek in the most majestic style. A better launch never was seen. There was no bustle—no fuss —nor nervousness or dreadful anxiety, or sense of responsibility, as displayed by her Majesty's master shipwright of Deptford Dockyard in the launch of equal tonnage. At Mr. of the Hannibal, a s h ip Mare's establishment the order was given, half-a-dozen men knocked away the dog shores and split out the blacks, and off she went ; and as soon as she had cleared the slip the preparations were immediately commenced for laying down another 2,700 ton ship. There were no formal congratulations of the chief of the establishment, or his naval architect, Mr. Waterman—no unmeaning politeness to Chatfield and Co.—no 50/. Admiralty grant. The thing was looked upon as a matter of course, and everybody invited himself to the launches, right and left, of ships of similar tonnage to the Prince, that are far advanced on the stocks, and will be ready for taking the water by the next spring tides. The Prince was brought up in excellent style, and floated at her launching draught, as we feel confident she will at her load draught, as little by the stern as will make her one of the handsomest ships that ever floated. The lines of the Prince are faultless ; her strength is massive ; she is stupendous ; but so proportionately strollg that she is one extensive mass of iron, so dove tailed and rivetted that she may bend like a suspension bridge, but she can never break. Let her get ashore, there is no loss of false keel, :19 in a wooden ship—no no starting of timbers. As a whol e , s h e i s as flex ib le as a bow ; and although she may get whore, bilge her sides, stove a plate, knock out a few rivets, she can carry away nothing but what is easily repaired ; there is no chance of breaking up, and when got off with the slightest re pairs she is as perfect as ever in keel, plates, angle-irons, and everything that appertains to a perfect Thames built ship. The P . rince will be taken into dock to-day, and will be at once fitted for sea. The Admiralty have wisely char tered two of this celebrated class of ships, Golden Fleece and Jason ; and we doubt not that the Prince, possessing such capacity and such stowage for the horses that are required for the conveyance of cavalry, will be also taken up by the Government and fitted at once ; and we hear that at least :300 to 350 horses can be stowed com fortably in this ship, and, if necessity demands, she could be ready for sea within seven weeks from this date. We cannot conclude the notice of this launch without remarking that in the establishment of Mare and Co., we have at this juncture one of the most complete re sources of the world—an establishment which, working night and day, is under engagement with the Govern ment to build four gun-boats for the Baltic fleet, of 050 tons and 160 horse-power, to carry 6 broadside guns of heavy calibre, and two 112 cwt. pivot-guns, within ten weeks. The country will estimate the resources of this establishment, when it is known that this ship, the Prince, was launched from the slip whence the great screw-ship Himalaya was sent into the water last year. IRONMASTERS QUARTERLY MEETING. WOLVERHAMPTON, April 11.—The usual quarterly meeting of the ironinasters of this district for the current quarter commenced at Walsall yesterday ; the second assembly took place at the Swan Hotel in this town this afternoon, there being a very large attendance of manu facturers as well as merchants, and others interested in the trade. On the part of the large ironmasters, no dis position whatever was manifested to depart from the re solution adopted at the preliminary meeting, although the orders fur all descriptions of iron are enormous, espe cially so for America and our home purposes ; perhaps for bars the pressure is not quite so great, as for sheets, at least they are not commanding so stiff a price (propor tionately) as compared with pigs ; for the latter the de mand is said to exceed all precedent ; there are heavy contracts on hand, with the certainty that further orders would not be accepted at this time to any extent at the quotations of the day ; indeed, this morning half-a-crown higher price was asked, and many persons were of opinion that by to-morrow night the actual price of Staffordshire pigs (best quality) will be ss. higher than the recognised trade price, which stands—for hot-blast mine pigs, 51. 10s., cinder pigs being from 41. 15s. to 51. Of course, manufacturers are very reluctant to buy at such prices, but trade is so good, that they have little or no alternative. The best informed members of the trade speak very confidently of the fair prospect that exists for the continued healthy condition of the trade ; there are no stocks of iron of any kind, even the stocks of INlr. Attwood and Mr. George Hudson, bad as they were in quality, are being gradually worked up, and if the war spreads in Europe there is apparently very little probability of the demand for America falling off. The price of Staffordshire ironstone is as high as 21s. per ton, notwithstanding, the Northamptonshire sup ply, but truth to tell, experience has shown that the ore from that district produces but an inferior quality of iron, in fact consumers of bars have in many instances made it a condition that they shall not be made from pigs smelted from the Northamptonshire ore. At the present time the make of iron is large (larger than it will be as the warm weather approaches), the ge neral trade of the district is healthy, and of coal there is less of scarcity than for some time past. As an excep tion to this must be noticed the tin-plate manufacture, which is still in a languid state ; indeed, there is scar ce ly any demand for the 'Commodity ; the make has been re duced at least one-half, but the price -335, per box—is about the same as when tallow and everything else en tering into the manufacture was not more than half what it now is. There are reports that the United States' tariff is to be revised in respect of this commodity, and that the duty will be all hut abolished. Should this he cor rect, it will operate materially towards the revival of the prosperity of this branch of industry. T FORTHCOMING EASTER Tenn.—Yesterday th e lists of arrears of the common law courts for the forth coming Easter Term were exhibited. According to th e days fixed by act of Parliament, term would corn mence on Saturday, the 15th inst., but this year the day being one of the holidays, term will not in reality begin until Wedn es d ay, t h e 19th inst. The arrears of the three common law courts are inconsiderable, amount ing to only 100 rules. In the Queen's Bench there are 57 ; in the Common Pleas, 11 ; and in the Exchequer 32. Th e num b er of rules for new trial in the Court of Queen's B enc h i s 15 for argument, and it is expected that the cause "Lumley v. Gye" will be again mentioned in that court. In the same court are 33 special cases, demurrers and county court appeals, whilst of enlarged rules there are 9in the paper. In the Common Pleas, 2 demurrers are entered ; 3 enlarged rules ; 4 rules for new trials, and 2 matters standing for the judgment of the court. In the Exchequer there are two new trial rules for judgment, and 16 for argument and arrange ment, and 14 rules in the new trial paper. Mr. Justice Crowder will take his seat, for the first time, in the Court of Common Pleas, in the place of the lamented Judge Talfourd. In the Court of Chancery, there are few, if any arrears, the learned judges having cleared the lists, but many matters are progressing in the offices of the several courts. The expression "Delays in Chancery," has not become obsolete. NEWLY INVENTED SPURIOUS COIN.--Within the last few days Mr. W e b s t er , th e I nspector -G enera l o f Coins to her Majesty' s M in t, h as rece i ve d some counterfeit shillings, beari n g d a t e o f th ose i ssue d i n 1852, and which more perfectly represent the genuine coin than anything ever yet put in circulation. Their difference from the ordinary bad money is, that they are struck with a beau tifully executed die from a hard white metal, which is s fr u o h m s e e e s n r t e ly n d strongly e I mt e o e t r r a o l - a p i l , a p t e ed. ai.a n T c hei r e pe r b f e e i:i t g st in ruck respect, that the rim and milling is cut quite sharp and complete, whereas in the Britannia metal base coin, hitherto circulated, that being cast in moulds and Poured in from the edge of the mould, the outer rim of the coin is always faulty, and a very cursory inspection of that part would suffice to detect it. The component parts of the metal from which they are struck are copper, nickel, and zinc, in the following proportions :---Copper, 64 . 26 per cent., nickel 15.71, and the rest zinc, which is in reality German silver. The shillings weigh 5 grains light of a genuine one of the same year, and 3 grains heavy of a Geo. 111. of 1822. The metal being so hard the coin detectors will not expose the fraud, but they may be known by the ring, which is very bad. It is believed that they came fr om Birmingham. T' C H AL) LE R A !!!
