On the 6th, the Kan . garoo steamer, with 32 officers, 892 non-commis sioned officers, and eight women of the 93d; and on the 7th, the Ardent steamer, with five officers , and 220 non-commissioned officers of the 50th, towing the Georgina sailing transport, having On board one officer and twenty-nine privates of the 50th, and 110 women of this and other regiments, besides twenty-three Maltese carters • • and mule conductors. The Ardent is by no Means au efficient vessel, but as the weather con , tinues fine, will ho doubt do her work.

The Sultan, ex pected hourly from Southampton for Crinstantino ple, will carry to Gallipoli as many as she can ac commodate with the, cargo she has on board.

In the afternoon, his Majesty the Ein:Jeror did the honours by conducting his Royal Highness to the promenade of Longchamps in his private carriage, the Emperor himsef driving ; and, with the affa bility for which he is remarkable, afterwards con ducted the Prince to the eini assy. His Excellency Lord Cowley in the evening gave a splendid banquet in honour of his illustrious guests, to which a number of the principal English residents and visitors now in Paris were invited. The com pany included the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl and Countess of Sefton and the Countess of Granville, Viscount and Viscoun tess Sydney, Sir Laurence and Lady Jane Peel, Lady Molesworth, Right Hon. E. Ellice, Sir H. Ellis, 47,c. ; the Marquis de Toulongeon, Colonel Fleury, &c. On dinner being announced, the splendid band of the Guides, which was in atten dance, struck up " Partant pour la Syrie," and continued playing at intervals during the banquet. At the dessert the Duke of Cambridge, in a brief but well-turned speech, proposed the health of his Majesty the Emperor, which was drunk with much enthusiasm, after which the band struck up " God save the Queen." The usual toasts fol lowed, and the party separated at a late hour. One of the French morning papers states that the Duke of Cambridge and suite will leave Paris to morrow, but our contemporary has been misin formed, as we believe the Prince and suite have accepted invitations to dine with his Imperial Highness Prince Jerome. The fleet under Admiral Parseval-Deschenes sailed on Wednesday from Brest, for the Baltic, to join the English squadron under Admiral Napier. The following telegraphic despatch has been received from Marseilles : distin " His Highness Prince Napoleon arrived at the Prefecture at eight o'clock in the midst of general enthusiasm. Deputations of workmen arrive. The Rues de Noailles, de St. Fereol, and de la Cana biere are brilliantly illuminated." The Senate met on Thursday to examine the bill lately adopted by the Legislative Corps to increase from 80,000 to 140,000 the contingent of 1853. M. Baroche, President of the Council of State, General Allard, 2resident of the Sec tion, and MM. Villeinain and Petitet, Councillors of State, were present, as Government Commis sioners. Taking into consideration the character of urgency which marked the bill, the Senate withdrew at once to its bureaux, and named a committee, composed of Marshal Magnan, Gen. Gemeau, Gen. Baron Achard, Admiral Count Cecille, and Gen. the Marquis d'Hautpoul, to re port on the measure. After an hour's suspension, the public sitting was resumed, and Geu. the Mar quis d'Hautpoul presented the report, which was altogether in favour of the bill. The Senate then proceeded to the discussion, and declared unani mously, by 103 votes, that it did not oppose the promulgation of the bill. The proceedings then terminated.

(Prom the Press Correspondent.) E nglish April 1.3. —lt is quite decided that the -c doglish cavalry are not to go through France. The excuse is the lowness of the Rhone, but the true c ause is the fear of the effects of the brandy and ne on our troopers during a ten days' march through the south of France, where a very hot 'el:op:red race exist, and where the heady wines W ould certainly create quarrels and other disgrace ,,ul scenes. This should have been foreseen by our Go vernment, and not so much time lost. At the review yesterday the English officers were Well received by the mob.

From these returns it appears that the metallic reserve has advanced 44 millions in Paris and 33 millions in the branch banks. The discount accom modation has increased 5 millions in Paris and de clined 4 millions in the departments. The advances on French rente have declined 31 millions in Paris, and 11 million in the departments. Advances on railway shares and bonds have fallen off 6i millions in Paris, and 1 million in the branch banks. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in circulation have diminished 1 million in Paris, and 2i millions in the provinces. The accounts current of the public have increased 40 millions in Paris, and 5 millions in the departments. The whole amount of the metallic reserve is at present 367 millions to 595 k millions of notes in circulation. We are informed that MM. Leroy, Chabrol, and Co., whose suspension of payments has recently been announced, have made an offer to their creditors to pay the whole of their debts, with interest, within 12 months, in four quarterly in stalments. Creditors in Paris to the amount of 13,000,000 f. have, it is said, already assented to this arrangemet, and it is hoped in a few days the bankruptcy will be superseded, and the house able to resume business. In this case, it is said that M. Leroy will retire from the concern, and M. Chabrol be joined by a new partner of large capital. Public securities and railway shares experienced yesterday a slight rise. The Three per Cents. opened at 63f. 30c., rose to 63f. 50c., and closed at 63f. 20c. for the end of the month ; the Four and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 89f. 75c. ; and the New Loan at 64f. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,043 f. 75c. ; Rouen, 820 f. ; Havre, 410 f. ; Great Nor thern, 731 f. 25c. ; Strasburg, 712 f. 50c. ; New Shares,- 525 f. ; Paris to Lyons, 785 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 652 f. 50c. ; Western of France, 555 f. ; Bordeaux to Cette, 505 f. ;' Great Central of France, 398 f. 75c. ; Lyons to Geneva 420 f. ; Bank of Credit Mobiller, 486 f. It i s n ow in rumoured that some of the French ships fthe Black Sea—three it is said—will be re called i utend or the purpose of reinforcing the squadron b ackw ed for the Baltic, and which is exceedingly th ese a h l :d.

One of the French morning papers states that the Duke Paris to-(laof Cambridge and suite were to leave misinformed': but the paper in question has been invitations to he Prince and suite have accepted Prince Jerom dine with his Imperial Highness and will certainly not leave Paris till Monday morning.

According to accounts from Copenhagen of the 9th the Ministerial crisis was not yet at an end. Several lists were in circulation, but none had ac quired anything of an official character. Opinions also differed as to the real motive which led to the resignation of the Danish Cabinet, inde pendently of the untenable position in which it was placed by the vote of want of confidence of the two Chambers. The National gazette of - Berlin remarks that the retirement en masse of the Danish Ministry coin cides with the presence at Copenhagen of Admiral Napier, and with the interview which the Admiral after several fruitless attempts, succeeded in ob taining with King Frederic. According to this journal, Sir Charles Napier complained that the rigorous neutrality established by the Danish Mi nistry prevented, among other things, any Danish pilot from serving on board an English man-of-war.

The mining market has not exhibited any new or par ticular feature this week, and the business transacted has been of limited amount. Purely speculative shares, being still pressed for sale, are very flat, and few buyers to be found. South Tamara have been in good request, at 8/. ss. to 81. 101., being a rise of 13,0001. on the mine in a fortnight, something very considerable when the dullness of the times is considered ; the richness of the ores for silver, and the large quantities now being raised, render this one of the richest silver-lead mines in the kingdom, whilst the management is such as to inspire the greatest confidence. In the Metal Market, the general trade is in animated condition. Copper, Lead, and Tin, fully support the quotations, notwithstanding the drop made by the vari ous smelting companies, under the plea of tightness in the money market.—But for the forced sales of Straits Tin, the general appearance of trade has an upward tendency, particularly in the shipment of Tin Plates. — The stock of Scotch Pig-iron is becoming so much re duced that an enhanced price is looked forward to with confidence on the part of holders, from 795. 6d. to 80s. being about the present mark. The demand for Staf fordshire Pig is considerably beyond the present ave rage make, and a rise in the price seems more than likely. In the Bullion Market,—Mexican and South Ameri can dollars, ss. 00. per oz. Bar silver containing gold, all gold above 5 grains in the pound to be paid for, ss. 2d. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold, ss. lid. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. Although on Monday last there appeared an upward tendency in the more accredited descriptions of the Gold Mining Shares, yet this movement has not continued, and the market remains in the same inert state as noticed for a long period past. The only descriptions of stock which are supported being Agua Fria and Quartz Rock. Great dissatisfaction is expressed by the share holders in the Anglo-Californian Company at the re peated excuses put forward by Sir H. Huntley ; he has had, no doubt, many difficulties to contend with, but probably there numerous disasters and fruitless apologies would have not been so rife had a competent mining manager been at the head of affairs. This is the more potent, as the accounts from California show that where native companies are at work success is attainable, STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) AIANOHRSTER, April 13.—1 n the last and - present weeks a very considerable amount of business has been effected in yarns and goods for India; the merchants having been induced to operate by a decline of about /d, per lb. in the latter as well as the former. Other classes of yarn buyers have also come into the market under the inducement of lower prices—the home manufacturers to a greater extent than the continental houses. The produ cers of India yarns and goods are now for the most part, not only cleared of stocks, but more or less supplied with orders—more so than other classes of producers gene rally are. In printing cloths, however, there is no move ment, and domestics continue fiat. Now that spinners and manufacturers have thus been enabled to relieve themselves by selling, they are assuming some degree of firmness; and the buyers cannot repeat some of the very low purchases they made in the earlier part of last week. We :peak, of course of such articles as have been in demand. Cotton is decidedly firm this week and very dear in comparison with anything into which it can be made. Prices are now so low as to render spinning' and manufacturing bad trades. Yet, in this state of things, and with a serious war before us, the operatives at Stockport have chosen to cease working this evening rather than submit to the withdrawal of the advance of wages conceded by their employers under better circum stances. It appears that a dividend has been speedily realised by the assignees of the estate of Messrs. Thom son, Brothers, and Sons ; notices for the first, which is 6s. Bd. in the pound, payable on Tuesday next, having been sent to the creditors by the solicitors, Messrs. Sale, Worthington, and Shipman. BRADFORD, April 13.—Wool—Few purchases have been made during the past week, and these only for im mediate consumption. Prices continue in favour of the buyer, although very unwillingly conceded. Neils and shorts without change. Yarns—The home manufac turers have generally succeeded in placing their contracts on better terms than last month. Many spin ners continue to curtail their production, and should this continue, we may hope to realise better prices ere long. The shippers still continue out of the market. Pieces— The same inactivity continues as for several weeks, and no improvement in the demand-, although merchants are more inclined to operate when any very great inducement is offered. LEICESTER, Thursday, April 13.—We have no im provement to report in the warehouses. Worsted spin ners have again reduced yarns a halfpenny per lb this this week, thus making a reduction of OA per lb from its highest point, if the demand does not warrant it they purpose closing their mills for a longer period than Easter week. Employment has become scarces amongst the operatives ; many of the stoutest have been engaged as labourers for the sewerage work. There is no alter ation iu the wool market. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, April 11.—The market for woollen cloth has scarcely been so active this morning as on Saturday last, the purchases being confined to small quantities to make up orders, or sales were effected by the clothiers mak ing some sacrifice in price, so as to offer their goods as "bargains." There is no change in the general condi tion of the trade of the district. The war question occupies much attention among all classes, and induces a degree of flatness in trading transactions that it is almost safe to say would be removed by the commence ment of hostilities in good earnest by the English and the French in aid of Turkey. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, April 11.—The market has been steady to-day, and all goods of a seasonable cha racter were readily bought up. There is not much busi ness doing in the warehouses, except with buyers of a smaller class, very few of the wholesale buyers having been in the market lately. ROCHDALE, April 10.— In the flannel market there has been little or nothing doing. There is no disposi tion on the part of the merchants to purchase at any price. We have had a limited demand for wool, and prices continue in favour of the buyer. MARKET NEWS-(T EELS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN. Most kinds of vegetables were in fair average supply, and steady request.

As a review of French troops, at Paris, in pre sence of a Prince of the Blood Royal of England, and of an English General Officer, and in especial compliment to them, is an event of which history preserves no previous record, it is, perhaps, advis able to give all the particulars of so unprecedented an occurrence. We, therefore, now extract a ver- siou from Galignani, in addition to the account which we published on Thursday:— "The grand review ordered by the Emperor, in hon- our of H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge, took place yes terday, in the Champ de Mars, and passed off with im mense eclat. "At about 12 o'clock, the troops began to arrive in the Champ-de-Mars. They consisted of—lnfantry : the sth, Bth, 9th, 13th, 16th, 22d, 28th, 32d, 36th, 38th, 51st, 53d, 63d, and 67th Regiments of the line ; the 3d, Bth, 12th, and 13th Regiments of Li g ht I n f an try ; the sth, Bth, an d 20th battalions of the Chasseurs de Vin cennes ; the 2d battalion of the gendarmerie mobile ; and the 2d battalion of the garde de Paris. Cavalry: the Ist and 2d Carabineers, the 9th and 10th Cuirassiers, the Guides, the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons, 2 squadrons of th e garde de Paris, Isquadron of the gendarmerie de la Seine, the 7th Drag oons (f rom Me lun), the 1 2th Dragoons (from Saint Germain), the 6th Hussars (from F ontainebleau), and the 7th Light Dragoons (from Cornpi6gne) Artillery : the batteries of the Ist Regiment attached to the army of Paris.— Finally, Engineers—The companies attached to the army of Paris. The infantry, about 26,000, divided into 24 battalions, were formed into six lines on the left of the Champ de Mars, entering from the Pont d'Jena ; they were under the orders of General de Levasseur, assisted by Generals de Division Renault and Bourgon, and Ge nerale de Brigade Repond, Marulaz, Ripert, Esterhazy, and Courand. Each line extended the entire length of the Champ de Mars, and between each them was a dis tance of about 15 yards. The cavalry were drawn up in three lines on the opposite side, and divided into four brigades, consisting of 45 squadrons ; General de Division Korte commanded in chief, and the brigades were under the orders of Generals de Brigade Feray, Gado, Marion, and the Duke de Montebello. The artillery, consisting of seven batteries with 42 guns, were ranged in front of the Ecole Militaire, and were under the orders of General de Brigade Auvity. The cavalry and artillery were about 6,000 strong. "By the time the troops had taken up their posi tions, a vast crowd of spectators of all classes had as sembled around the immense arena of the Champ de Mars, and others continued to pour in from all direc tions at every moment. Elegant stands, capable of holding several hundred spectators, were erected in the centre on the right hand-side, and were thronged to excess by the highest aristocracy—ladies being in the majority. The long line of windows and even the roof of the Ecole Militaire were also crowded, chiefly by ladies. Even the heights of Chaillot, which command a distant view of the ground, were thronged with spectators. To afford the pedestrian sight-seers a a good view, tables, chairs, forms, hand-carts, and tem porary scaffolds were arranged all round the Champ de Mars ; and though the weather at first was unfavourable, the rain falling pretty smartly, the speculators in these things reaped an abundant harvest. On the ground, in the stands—everywhere, were more English of both sexes and all classes than we ever remember to have seen on any public occasion in Paris. " One o'clock was fixed for the commencement of the review, and half-past twelve for the departure of the Emperor and the Prince from the Tuileries. At about twelve, general officers in full uniform began to assem ble in the court-yard of the palace, and amongst them were observed several German and other foreign officers in white, blue, and dark green uniforms. To witness the departure a large crowd collected in the Place du Car rousel and in the garden of the Tuileries • and from the latter all the way to the Ch am p d e Mars, spectators were assembled in great numbers. "Shortly after the clock struck half-past 12, the Emperor and the Duke of Cambridge mounted their horses. They were accompanied by Lord Raglan, Lord Cowley, Lord de Ros, Colonel Tyrwhitt, Colonel Shele, Colonel Paulett Somerset, Major Wellesley, and Major Stopford Claremont, and by Marshal Vaillent, Minister of War, Marshal Saint Arnaud, commander-in-chief of the French army of the East, Marshal Magnan, com mander-in-chief of the army of Paris, and other French officers of distinction. In attendance on the Emperor were a number of officers of his Majesty's military house hold, in new uniforms of a clear blue colour and of great elegance, together with several aides-de-camp and offi ciers d'ordonnance ; and in attendance on the marshals were also numerous officers. "The Empress, the Princess Mathilde, the Grand Duchess of Baden, Prince Jerome, and their suites, left in carriages for the Champ de Mars shortly before the Emperor. Her Majesty and their Imperial Highnesses there occupied stands specially prepared for them. Lady Cowley and other English ladies of distinction were placed near her Majesty. 'The Emperor having given the order for departure, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge placed him self on his Majesty's right hand ; Lord Raglan and the French Marshals just behind, the French, English, and foreign officers a little behind them. The cortege pre sented a most brilliant appearance, owing to the variety of the uniforms. The striking yet simple red of the English was of course the principle feature in it, and it was that which attracted most attention, All our officers were, however, not in scarlet—three or four wore the uniforms of the rifles, or the blue of some of the cavalry regiments. The cortege was preceded by a picket of guides, and was closed by one of cuirassiers. " Passing along the Pavilion de l'Horloge, the coclege proceeded along the principal avenue of the garden of the Turneries. Here, loud and enthusiastic cries arose of Vive l'Empereur ' Vive l'Angleterre !' Vivo le Due de Cambridge ' The cries for the Emperor, how ever, predominated; but still the cordiality manifested towards the English Prince and his confreres d'armcs could not well be exceeded. The cortege passed by the Cours de la Reine, in the Champs Elysdes, to the Quai, an d along the Quai to the Champ de Mars, by the Pont d'.l"(•na. Throughout this lengthened route the crowd was very great, and cries for the Emperor, and the Prince, and the English arose again and again. "Arrived in the Champ de Mars, the illustrious Eng . lish visitor and his companions were evidently struck by the magnificent spectacle of so many thousand men, ar ranged in all the pomp of military pageantry. It was indeed a noble sight ; and its grandeur was enhanced by the reflection that it was, so to speak, the formal military and popular ratification of the "solemn league and covenant" which, happily, now unite the two mightiest nations of the earth. "The moment the Emperor and the Prince appeared, the drums of all the forces beat, and the trumpets clanged their rude yet spirit-stirring welcome —at the same time the order to present arms was given. His Majesty and his Royal Highness immediately proceeded to pass along the lines of the infantry, their numerous and brilliant staff following. The Duke of Cambridge and Lord Raglan minutely scrutinised the troops ; and, as well as could be judged from their gestures, both re peatedly expressed their admiration at their splendid ap pearance. The Chasseurs de Vincennes, who formed the first line, appeared to attract the special attention of the Royal Duke. After passing along all the lines of infantry, the Emperor and the Duke proceeded to review the artil lery, after which his Majesty and his Royal Highness went along the lines of the cavalry. Just as they had terminated this inspection, the rain ceased and the sun broke forth. At this moment the scene was very strik ing, the helmets and swords of the cavalry and the bay onets of the infantry glittered in the sunshine, whilst at the same time dark clouds continued to overhang Paris. thus forming a contrast worthy of the painter's art. "The Emperor, the Duke of Cambridge, and their staffs, now placed themselves in front of the stands in the centre of the Champ de Mars—the Emperor a little in advance of the Prince, and the Prince of the Generals and officers. The infantry formed in column by bat talions. The cavalry, by an admirably executed move ment, were formed into squadrons, and collected near the Ecole Militaire, behind the artillery. The artillery were also put en colonne by half batteries. After these movements were executed, the filing off commenced. The infantry went first, the Chasseurs deVincennes head ing them; then came the artillery, and then the cavalry. Each division and brigade was preceded by its respective generals. The filing off was splendidly performed, nothing indeed could be grander than to see such vast masses tue of men moving with almost mathematical exactitude. When the operation was concluded , the cavalry formed in masses extending the whole leng th of the Champ de Mars, and executed a sort of charge. " But after all the most re markable part of this splen did pageant was not the appearance. of the troops, how ever magnificent, but th eir bearing and that of the multitude of spectators towards the English. That our countrymen would be received with courtesy, no one could doubt, from the exquisite politeness and hospi tality of the French. It was not, however, with mere politeness that they were greeted, but with marked and even affectionate cordiality. A.B the Duke of Cam bridge passed along the lines, loud and constant cries of Vive l'Angleterre ! Vire le Prince Anglais !" were raised both by soldiers and people, in conjunction with the shouts of " Vive l'Empereur !" and during the filling off these cries were again repeated with mared enthu siasm by both. The bands, too, of most of the regi ments frequently played " God save the Queen !" Amongst the pedestrians, that is to say the lower and most numerous part of the spectators, the friendly feeling towards the English was in fact so great as to occasion surprise. " Which is the Prince ?" "Which is Lord Raglan ?" w ere th e universal inquiries, whenever the Imperial cortege passed near : and whenever any good natured fellow said—(with, by the way, as regarded the Duke, a greater desire to oblige than, perhaps, his knowledge o f E ng li s h soc i al distinct i ons warranted)— " Voillt, Lord Cambridge, le Prince Anglais—celui-14 ciltt . : de l'Empereur !" or "Voil?, Milord Raglan —celui qui n'a qu'un bras !"—whenever such a reply was re turned, up rose a shout of " Vive le Prince ! Vivent les Anglais !" One would have said, really, that per fidious Albion " bad never existed in the imagination of the French, and that French and English had been fast friends for ages ! " After the troops had ranged themselves in order, as above stated, the Emperor, the Duke of Cambridge, and their staffs left the ground, the troops presenting arms, the drums beating, and trumpets playing as on their arrival. His Majesty and his Royal Highness returned to the Tuileries by the route they had taken. A far greater crowd lined the whole road, and repeated witc h enthusiasm cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" with n few for the Prince and the English. Cries, too, were heard of "A bas les Cosaques !" Shortly after reaching the Palace, the Royal Duke and Lord Raglan took leave of his Majesty, and were conveyed to the English Em bassy in one of the Imperial carriages—their aides-de camp following in another. " Such is an imperfect account of a great and eventful day, both for Franco and England.". 101 i d 17 a d SPORTING NOTES. THE CRAVEN MEETING-. The increased supply of sport provided for the ap• proaching Craven Meeting is a satisfactory indication of the desire which exists amon g th e mem b ers of the Jockey Club to arrest the diminishing popularity of this spring gathering at head quarters. The establishment of new stakes has given a full and somewhat attractive appear ance to the programme, and turfites nay at least expect an average number of races per diem. The hardness of the ground, however, may render the fields limited, as owners of horses will be little inclined thus early in the season to hazard the chances of a break-down. Forty-three standing and proposed engagements are comprised in the programme ; a cheering prospect of sport for the five days. During the week, too, it is pro bable that Dervish, Bessus, and other Derby horses will put in an appearance, and an opportunity will then be afforded of judging of their present form and condition. The " closed" stakes and matches on Monday's list require little discussion. For the 50 soya. Sweepstakes for fillies, both Beatrix and Apropos have an allowance of 4 lbs., and one of them will, I fancy, be capable of achieving success. Bessus is the only animal of racing pretensions among the six nominations for the 100 soya. Sweepstakes. Census will perhaps have little difficulty in defeating his opponents for the 50 sovs. Sweepstakes for three-year-old colts and and fillies. The Matches will doubtless be regarded with muck interest, and speculation on them will perhaps be some what actively pursued. The race between Sitti ng b ourne and Pelion over the T.M.M. will be peculiarly interest ing. The former, unless ho has utterly lost the powers which he possessed at the commencement of last season, ought to obtain the palm of superiority, although the distance may be somewhat in favour of Pelion. Orinoco is too moderate an animal to concede 3 lbs. to Barbatus. Poodle will doubless be capable of giving Doublethong 5 lbs. and g beating. I shall take Invasion against Caracara. So uncertain and unsatisfactory is my information re lativa to the Newmarket Handicap, that at present I shall express no settled or lengthened opinion on the chances of the probable competito r s. Sh ou ld V irago go to the post, I s h a ll p l ace some con fi d ence i n h er abi lity to follow up her Epsom successes. The other animals that appear next worthy of notice are. Poodle, Bracken, and Adine. I start for Newmarket, however, to-day, and shall take an opportunity of seeing the different horses at exercise, and endeavour to gather some parti culars respecting them. Whatever information I may collect shall be published in my" Notes from Newmarket" on Monday. Report states that W es t A ustral i an, Dervish, Otolano, Beiardo, Umbriel, Appollonius, Prince Arthur, and Bracken, are under orde rs f or N ewmarket. A meeting will take place to-day a t th e "S urr ey Corner" for the election of a committee, and to arrange preliminaries for the transaction of business. My absence from town will, 1 regret to state, render me unable to attend it. The promoters of tue und e r taking a pp ear t o be actuated by a liberal and enterprising spirit, and cordially wish them success. April 15. A FRESH MAN. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT-Aprg 12. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.—The Earl of Wilton, commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, arrived at Aris's Hotel last evening. His yacht, the Zara, is lengthening in White's yard. Amongst the other arri vals are the Earl of Lichfield, the Hon. Mr. Vernon and Lady Harriet, Lord and Lady Shelburne and family, Sir Frederick and Lady Thesiger, J. Bold Hoghton, Esq., John Kenyon, Esq., F. Marsh, Esq., and Booth, Esq., and family. The other hotels here have been unusually full of company for so early in the season. It is reported that Gurnard Bay has been surveyed for the purpose of ascertaining as to its capabilities for being formed into n building-yard for monster iron steam-ships and for dry docks, for which it seems to be admirably adapted. THE WEATHER.-With the exception of one or two trifling showers, we have had no rain since the 11th of February, and it is now seriously wanted, as the barley, vetches, &c., cannot be got into the ground. At noon, on Monday, there was a very large and remarkable ring round the sun, such as was never before witnessed here. MuNicirAL ELECTION.-Mr. Francis Pettis being elected an alderman of the borough of Newport, causes a vacancy in the council ; and John Henry Hearn, Esq., the late town clerk, has offered himself as a can didate for the office ; as has Mr. Maurice Dear, of Cowes. The burgesses have to decide on one of them on Monday next. The borough has been in the hands of the Tories ever since the passing of the Municipal Act, and they will struggle hard to k ee p it ; b u t s h ou ld M r . Dear gain the election, the charm will be broken, as the Radicals will muster tea councillors to the Tories' eight. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Several Chinese seamen, having for some time appeared in the streets as objects of charity, Sir R. W. Carden felt a deep interest in their condition, and directed the second clerk at the justice room of the Mansion-house to write to Viscount Pahaer ston, requesting his lordship's interference to put a stop to the existing evil. The following is the correspondence which took place : " Mansion-house Justice-room, April 5. "My Lord—l am directed by Sir Robert Carden, the sitting alderman at this justice-room, to request your lordship's favourable consideration to the case of 45 Chinese, who have for several weeks past been found at different times in the streets of the City begging, in the most abject state of poverty. It appears that 29 of them were seamen on board a Russian vessel, and S of them served on board two English ships, one of which has left the port, and the other, called the Thetis, is now in some part of the port of London. The alderman has caused inquiries to be made, and it has been ascertained that nearly the whole of the men had been payed the balance of their wages, which amounted to a small sum, and discharged themselves from their vessels in the port of London. The alderman was anxious to provide vessels for the men to return to China, and he personally made inquiries of several shipbrokers, who expressed their willingness to take the men on board their vessels as sea men, but the difficulty suggested was, that after taking them to China, they would be unable to obtain English seamen at China to bring the vessel to England on the return voyage. These men had from time to time been sent to the City of London Union, where they have been afforded shelter and temporary relief, but the guardians have no authority to afford them any permanent as sistance. " Tinder these circumstances, Sir R. W. Carden would feel greatly indebted to your lordship if you would be pleased, after considering the circumstances to which he has directed me to refer you, to give directions that the provisions of the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 112, sec. 64, and 13th and 14th Victoria, c. 93, sec. 6, may be put in force, or that you would adopt such other course as may be necessary, with the view of sending these men to the country to which they belong.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient humble servant, " GEORGE MARTIN." "Whitehall, April 10, 1854. " Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter o f the sth inst., and to inform you that an applicatio n of a si milar nature to that which you have made, on behalf of certain destitute Chinese seamen, having been received from the guardians of the Stepney Union , Lord Palmerston caused the same to be referred to the L ords Commi ssioners of the Admi ralty, with reference to the 7th and Bth Viet., cap. 112, sec. 64, and I am to transmit for y our i n f ormat i on a copy of the answer received from the Secretary to the Admiralty, and to add that the Government can do no sir, your obedient servant, thing in this matter.--I am, " HENRY FITZROY." (COPY) Admiralty, March 18, 1854. "Sir—With reference to your letter of the 10th inst., transmitting copy of one from the clerk to board of guardians of Stepney Union, relative to the ease of thirteen men of colour brought from Shanghai in the merchant ship Racer, who have become chargeable to the Stepney Union, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of Viscount Palmerston, that as this ship belongs to the United States, within whose terri tories her owners reside, no steps can be taken by my lords for maintaining and affording a passage to the men in question under the act, 64 sec., of the ith and Bth Vic., c. 112, or under any oth er ac t, an d that applica tions have b een made, both to Messrs. Marzetti and the master, but without success. "I am, sir, . . (Signed) "B. 05110ItNE. "Hon, Henry Fitzroy, M.P." A MAN KILLED BY LYING ON A RAILWAY.—On Tuesday night, about half-past ten o'clock, as an empty waggon and cattle train was proceeding from Peter. borough to Leicester, about half a mile from the Syston junction, the driver saw by the light of the moon some thing lying across the rails a short distance before the engine. He was unable to see what it was, but thought it looked like a heap of soil. When the enginePasart over it, however, it was lifted up so much that he the first thought it was off the line ; and on junction he toldthe pointsman there that sorieseth:ingg had been d been placed on the line. Anther trail' d ue short time ; he did not, therefore, go to see w what it was immediately, but after the train had pas sed he went, and of a man_ lying on ro ili cur u e , cl found first a hat, and then the body to o th p e assistance, and the body his stomach, and completely cru6h e ed d . ll f r amework-knitter, of Syston. Bead Inn, at Syston, w he w re as it re w in evs " identified as ' that 'l l of Sarson, From the evidence adduced at the inquest it appeared that the deceased was much given to drinking, and when intoxicated used to wander about very much, and would lie down anywhere to sleep. He had a sister hying at Quorndon, and it was suggested that he was probably going to see her, as he had before taken the same way at night for that purpose. He left the house of a neighbour about 10 o'clock in a state of intoxication, saying he should go home and go to bed. His house, however, was in a direction exactly opposite to that in which he went. There was nu evidence which could lead to the conclusion he had any intention of committing suicide. The neighbour at whose house he had been heard him say that he should " make a hale in the water," but he was in the habit of making such remarks when intoxicated, and no one noticed them. P. C. Ward, who assisted in removing the body, expressed opinion, from the position of the head, that the deceased was asleep when the train ran over him. The jury gave a verdict of " Found dead, from being run over by a train, but whether the deceased had placed himself there for the purpose of self-destruction, or had Wu down in consequence of being drunk, there was DO etri• denco to flow.
