II On the morning of the 11th of March a cannonade was eaecuted but I caused it to be stopped immediately after- Wards, as the Turks did not reply to it.

During the passage of our t roops th e b a tt er i es o f th e 6ea urY had been milenced, and no oue was to be seen, so that it might have been believed that the Turks had coin 1341telY abandoned their fortifications.

STATE OF TRADE.. (Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, April 18.—We have to report a more cheerful tune in this day's market, with an increased firmness in the prices of some kinds of yarns and goods, while, in a fewarticles, the quotations are slightly higher than they were last week. The turn-out at Stockport has given an upward tendency to the lower counts of pincups, and to 245. and to 28s warps, and the extensive business latterly effected fiir India and China, together with somewhat improved advices by the overland mail, leads to the requirement of rather high r prices for suit able mule and water twits, and also for goods adapted to those quarters. The day's transactions have been of fair but not large extent. For Germany, the buying of yarns is but limited ; here and there a little specula. tion has, however, been ventured upon by the merchants. It is still found that 7.8 and 9-8 printing cloths, and the yarns for these cloths, tegether with yarns for home use, such as the Bolton. 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, and, in general, goods specially prepared for home consumption, are lagging very much behind such as are more adapted for foreign markets. The fail of prices in this market, with the relative dearness of the Liver pool cotton market, has placed spinners and manu facturers in an unfavourable position. It will be seen, however, that the commencement of worse ac counts from this country has given rise to some irregu larity in the American markets, and to a slight decline in prices. We understand that the turn-out at Stock port amounts to about 3-4ths of the hands, and the greater part of the remainder will, it is understood, go out at the latter end of this week. At Preston the funds are now beginning to fall, and the old hands are returning to work in greater numbers. HALIFAX, April 15. —The demand for goods in our piece hall to-day has been about the same as has been usual of late, and the merchants show very little disposition to purchase. The quantity of yarn produced is now so much nearer the requirements of the market (the spinners working on an average not more than four days a week), that stocles are not accumulating, and prices remain as they were. In wools there is more doing, and the downward tendency of the quotations has received a check. Prices generally are firmer, and for some some sorts, as Lincolnshires, higher rates have been given. ROCHDALE, April 17.—We have had another very dull and inactive market, with little or nothing doing. The attendance of buyers has been slender; and these have shown no disposition to purchase, except at reduced prices. There is no change in the wool market worth notice ; the tendency of prices is yet downwards. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with English wheat ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds ruled inac tive, but we have no change to notice in prices. Foreign wheat, the show of which was good, moved off slowly, at last week's currency. There were very few inquiries for floating cargoes, the arrivals of which have slightly increased. _ We ha,,t a dull inqui,ri for barley and malt, at barely late rates. About an average business was transacted in oats and beans, at late rates. Peas and flour were dull, but not lower. ARRIVALS THIS MISR. Barley. \lalt. 1,910 60,40 Wheat. 320 English .. Irish ....

At present, the circumstances under which these posts had been built having changed, it became necessary to consider that in consequence of their position they had no land communication with each other, and that their garrisons, therefore, left completely isolated from the main body of cur forces, could not be of any service in the general system of our future operations. On these ground. , the Aide-de-Camp General Prince Menschikoff was ordered to suppress these posts, after having withdrawn the garrisons. Prince Menschikoff has accomplished this service with the success which accompanies all the operations of the fleet in the Black Sea. On the 3d of March he despatched from Ghelendjik the steamer Molodets, under the flag of Vice-Admiral Serelniatioff, towing rowboats ; the Crimea, under the flag of Rear-Admiral Panfiloff, towing the Mamai tran sport ship; the Odessa, towing the Bzyd ; the Cherso nese, towing the Gostogal ; the Boi6ts, towing the Ko dos the Mugoutch, towing the Tsdrnes ; and the Argo naute, towing rowboats. In ccasting along the shores of Circassia, and when ever they arrived opposite a post, they left the vessels necessary for the embarkation of the garrisons ; but on approaching Navaglunsk two steamers, the one French, the other English. were signalled. The embarkation was suspendwl, and measures were taken to prepare for action ; however, the enemy's ships remained in the ..tfing, passed before ours, and the embarkatiOn was re sumed. In the meantime, opposite the post Veliaminoff, these two steamers stopped the hired transport Dzyb ; two officers hailed her and addressed to her commander, Lieutenant Tchebysclieff, the following questions " What steamers have you seen near the post of Na vaghinsk ?" Answer—" Some Russian steamers of war." " What are they doing at that point ?" Answer-- " There is an Admiral there, and he has not told me his instructions. " Who is burning the posts, you,or the Circassians ?' Answer—" We." •" Because " Why do you burn them ?" Answer such is the order given." " Where is your. fleet ?" Answer—"l don't, know, but I believe it to be at sea, and very near." After having received these answers, the two steamers departed, having described themselves as the Mogador and the Sampson. On the sth the whole expedition anchored at Novo rosslisk, where it disembarked the garrison of the posts of Navaghinsk, Golovine, Lazareff, Veliaminoff, Ten ghinsk, and Novotroitsk. Storms bad prevented the squadron of Rear-Admiral Voukotitch embarking the garrison of the post of St. Esprit. The removal of the garrison took place between the 9th and 10th by means of the steamer Gromonosseis, aboard which was sent Colonel.Skulkoff, aide-de-camp of the Emperor. From all these posts, besiiles the garrisons, which make up an effective force of 5,000 men, they embarked all the families of the soldiers, the workmen, and a great part of the stores of the Crown. The rest, as well as the buildings, were burnt, and the fortifications were blown up. Our military resources have thus been augmented by an important body of picked troops, accustomed to war by lon► service in the centre of an unsublued country. This confirms the news brought by telegraph to London some time ago, that the Russians had suc ceeded, while the combined fleets remained at Beycos, in removing their troops from the posts established on the Circassian coast of the Black Sea. It will be recollected that Earl Clarendon contra dicted, in the House of Lords, the accuracy of all the reports circulated to this effect. FRANCE. The Moniteur of yesterday states that the Aus trian Ambassador at Paris has left for Vienna, to be present at the marriage of the Emperor ; he will be absent 10 days. On Monday morning the Duke of Cambridge and the other distinguished English officers who accom pany his Royal Highness, visited the Museum of the Louvre, over which they were attended by the Comte de Newerkerke. In the evening the whole of the party dined with M. Drouyn de Lhuys, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and subsequently went to the Elysee, where a grand ball and concert took place, for which magnificent preparations had been made, numerous workmen having been _ employed night and day for the past week. The palace, which is in course of extensive alteration, and but a few days since presented-a scene of the utmost confusion and disorder, was transformed, its if by enchantment, into one of those fairy edifices, which French workmen appear to possess the - secret of creating at short notice, beyond all others. The principal entrance was beautifully orna mented with carpeting and light blue cloth, and the side entrances the same. The facade was decorated with an awning of blue and white al ternately, and with carpet-covered steps, at inter vals bordered with shrubs, for setting down the guests. The company began to arrive shortly after nice, and a few minutes before 10 the Imperial carriages, with his Majesty and the Empress, and the Imperial Household ; the Duke of Cambridge and suite, etc., arrived. From this time till a late hour the carriages came iu rapid succession, the company comprising tne Ministers of State, the Foreign Ambassadors, and the principal no bility, English, French, and foreign at present in Paris. The gardens were most tastefully and splendidly lighted and had more the appearance of a scene of enchantment than a reality, the large trees were adorned with coloured lanterns of differ ent sizes and colours, representing fruits of various forms, whilst the walks were ornamented with festoons of different coloured lightS, and vases, itc.7.c., of the same description, and recalled to mind the magic beauty of the gardens described in the Ara bian ights. The view of the garden from the ball-room on the ground floor, th lofty illuminated trees in the distance forming au immense amphi theatre, with a grotto in the centre, composed of pink and green Chinese lights, presented a coup d'ceil of which none but an eye-witness could form an idea, whilst the varied groups tended not a little to ,enhanee the scene. Of the palace itself, the apartments, all newly restored and gilt with pro fusion, the furniture of the most splendid descrip tion, with the various decorations, together with the brilliancy of the scene, illuminated by thou sands of wax tapers from splendid candelabras in every direction, together- with the brilliancy of the various military costumes and the variety and elegance of the dresses of the fair sex, must have given his Royal Highness and the visitors who ac companied him an idea that they were present at a " housewarming". unequalled in the annals of France, so celebrated for its national fetes. The buffets were served with more than ordinary pro fusion, the refreshments of all sorts being of the choicest kind. The:r Majesties retired 'about one o'clock, after which the remainder of the company began to retire gradually, but it was not until " daylight hadhegun to dawn" that the whole of the company had left. Dancing, which at the commencement had been almost an "impossibi lity," was kept up with spirit to the last. General Lord Raglan and Lord de Ros left Paris yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, en route for Mar seilles. Colonel Ardent has arrived at Paris to render an account of the mission which he has fulfilled con jointly with General Bonrcroyne. He came by the Louqsor, just arrived at 'lllarseilles from Constan tiuope, which met with numerous transports car rying English and French troops to Gallipoli. There remained at Malta only one regiment, to be embarked. General Bizot, commandant of the Polytechnic School, has been appointed to the command in chief of the engineer , ' of the army of the East.

PRICE Os' GOLD.—Tuesday Evening:—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per !riffle discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 1041 per oz. for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.091 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 24.95. it follows that gold is about 0•58 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg,the price of gold is 420 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.2$ ' • and, the ex change at Hamb urg on L on d on a t short being 13.1/, it follows that gold is 0.30 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 108/ per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 p er cen t., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.83 per cent. against England. But, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the trans mission of gold either way between the two countries. DESPERATE RENCONTRE ON BOARD AN AMERICAN STEAMER.--We have often heard of meeting a murderer on the high seas, but seldom have to record such scenes of violence as occurred on the steamer S. F. J. Traube,'on the Mississippi river, during her recent trip from New Orleans. As is usual at this season of the Year, the boat was crowded with deck passengers, chiefly flat boatmen from the Wabash and coal boatmen from Pittsburg. Among the latter was a setof turbulent, quarrelsome men, who were about half drunk when they got on the boat at New Orleans, and had fought adiong themselves before the boat left port. Captain. Tucker was notified by a friend who recognised one or two of the men that he would have trouble with them, and they would try to take the boat. - • Soon - filter the boat was under way, and before she had proceeded 'many miles rip the river, one of the Pittsburg coal -boatmen 'attacked a .Vabash man, who was quiet and peaceable. and bad said nothing to him, and knocked him down, and beat him dreadfuly. Two of his friends Interfered to save him from further ill-usage, when they were beset and beaten nearly to death, and one of them had his arm broken by a blow of an axe in the hands of one of the rioters. The deck bar was open, and another passenger, a small man, stepped up after the first fray and called for a drink. While he was in. the act of drinking,. a burly fellow, a bully among the coal boat men, stepped up and ' seized him by the neck , choked him, and threw him to the deck as if be were a: up, chicken, and then stamped on him. He was snffered . to . g e_ e as soon as he regained his feet he drew a kmfeand insictd a terrible wound in the big man's right b reast, which placed him on his back during the rest sent to the of the trip, and on the arrival of the boat here occ urrence the coalctly he was hospital. Not long boatmen became perfearwe this wild with liquor or th e i r anxiety for a fight, and re heard to swe ar th at they would take -the_ boat and do as they pl ease d . The deck was crowded with passengers,. and th e qu i et and Orderly had no peace or rest, and were beset e very moment. Captain Tucker then determi ne d to quell the riot, and summoning his crew, among whom were 21 Spaniards, - arming them with short c l u b s, hatchets, and whatever weapons he could, he 'marched to the lower deck and endeavoured to restore order, and put the rioters on shore. The rioters laughed at him, and one big fellow shook his fist under his nose and defied the whole crew. The Spaniard, in solid phalanx, armed w ith a club and a long knife, were ordered to advance and seize the ringleader. Then' ensued a scene of strife an d confusion seldom seen on the deck of a boat. The Spanish crew, however, were victorious, and managed to secure four of the ringleaders, who were tied neck and heel, and peace was at once 'restored: The Chief of the mob' was "ot . _canght,,:and..for sever a l d a ye ecnild . h ot . foUltd.e.and.4 was tho9ght - that he, together withknii _or -five - others,, had jiimped Overboard,- and . either weak :drovojed:or swain ashore:.

During the 2/Wee a coal boatman, of the name .of Blakely, was much hurl, and dangerously stabbed in the side. lie was taken care of by the officers of the boat, and sent,to the hospital. The mate of the Traube received acut in the head "froth a knife; whichle caught just elik' o_no of the mutineers 'made a hinge at him. _The four that werearreetedi Were put off the boat - soon - after _the affray waaquelled i and:when the boat-WaS in thetieigh -bOurhood of Millikia's Bend the big fellow_who had been missing was found;: said. was : forthwith- set .sh,ore,.:_llo:- had been secreted'-iiiider: the"cy . lindee tiinherS...

THE NEWMARKET HANDICAP. The proceedings connected with the Newmarket Han-. dicap have created no little sensation. The lonirecordi of turf trickery anchnicertainty perhaps scarcely furniih their parallel ;_ the " scratching system" was - adopted. and pursued with an utter disregard of individual cen sure, and an undisguised indifference to public scandal. Horses were sent tf) Newmarket, seemingly not to fulfil their engagements, biit solely for pecuniary and ques: tionable purposes. The pernicious operation of the ;system complained of will be best set forth by a round unvarnished statement of the facts. Virago obtained a " flying .reputation" at Epsom. She then became the leading favourite, not only for the Newmarket Handicap, but for other events. Although some doubts existed as to' her starting for the Newmarket Handicap, yet they were soon dispelled by her arrival it .- headquarters. The desire to "get on" at any terms was general, for all persons deemed her success, barring acci dents, a certainty. She maintained her position in the betting with seeming steadiness until Monday, when cer tain movements in the market, and the eagerness evinced in well-informed quarters to "get out," excited suspicions which were eventually confirmed, for on the afternoon of that day Virago was declared not to start. Bracken, too, on whom many investments had been made at some what short odds, encountered an opposition which showed that with him " things were not all right." He had not taken his customary exercise in the morning, and on the reading of the list his withdrawal also was announced. Having thus disposed' of these two formidable animals, a new favourite was introduced in Defiance, who had ar rived on Sunday evening. He was supported with con siderable spirit until Monday evening, when a reaction commenced, and he was ultimately driven from 2 to 1 to 30 to 1. Early on Tuesday morning he was quietly sent home ! The " ring" then became puzzled, and specu-, • lation was temporarily stopped. At length, however,. a well-sustained demonstration was made in favour of Adine and Nicotine ; the former, however, ultimately took the lead in the betting. This position she main tained until about an hour before the time appointed for the race, when it was reported she had been sud denly taken ill, and she too was scratched. For Virago's withd rawa l I was prepare d ; an d i n my "Notes," published in The Sun on Monday, I stated its probability. Her owner, perhaps, deemed the chances of a break-down stronger than those of success:" It is questionable, however, whether the motives which actuated him to scratch the mare will be either • under stood or appreciated by the public. Ile, however; doubtless deemed that he had a perfect right to do as he liked with ' his own, and it must be confessed that he did it. The doings connected with Defiance admit of no extenuation. Adine, it is said, really went " amiss" at the last moment, and that her owner actually intended her, and backed her on the morning of the race for 2001: The truth of tins report lam not at present able to confirm. All attempts, however, to explain her owner's conduct are met with derision. I shall, however, reserve my opinion - on the matter until I am in possession of the fa c t s . So insignificant a lot of horses was never, perhaps, mustered at the post for a leading event as that w hich contested the Newmarket Handicap. The winner, Coup d'Etfit, as in 1552 when Father Thames carried off the stake, was scarcely mentioned in the Ring. Some people, however, went for the "off chance" with him, and backed him at prices varying from 100 to 5 to 100 to 7. He belongs to Sir Robert Pigott, and is trained at Newmarket. lam informed that, although his owner did not invest a sixpence on him, Lady Pigott took 100 to 6 about him ! Time will not allow me to extend my remarks on this subject. , Baalbec won the 'Riddlesworth in capital style. He is a good looking animal, and will be a most dangerous horse to stand against for the Chester Cup:" I shall not attempt to indicate the winners of the various events appointed for decision on Thursday and Friday. The must seemingly accurate calculations may be upset by the extreme hardness of the ground. Even the withdrawal of West Australian from the " Port," _ will not surprise me, Sittingbourne, too, although much fancied, appears to me to be not " exactly up to the mark." Should West Australian be scratched, I shall, with a start, be inclined to place some faith in Orestes. A FRESH MAN. • Newmarket, Tuesday Night. (BY ELECTRIC TELEORAPH.) • NEWMARKET, Tars DAY. ADINE AND THE NEWMARKET HANDICAP.—We have ascertained that the withdrawal. of Adine was rendered absolutely necessary by a,sudden and most severe attack of intimation of the lungs, and we cannot but express _ our sincere regret that in the paragaph despatched on the Heath on Tuesday afternoon other motives should have been implied. , A FRESH MAN RIGA AND ITS COMMERCE. We are indebted to M. F. Germain de Lagny for a very interesting description of this important commercial point of Russia in the Baltic, of which his long residence in that portion of Northern Europe renders him peculiarly qualified to speak with accuracy and knowledge. Between St. Petersburg and the frontiers of Prussia four rich provinces border the southern shores of the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea ; these are Ingria; Esthonia, Livonia, and Courland. Here the coasts pre sent a different aspect from those of the more northern provinces of Russia in the Baltic ; they are more sloping, and less bristling with rocks and shoals. The soil in some places is sandy, in others marshy, or partly covered with muddy water and reeds. But more inland, in the higher parts, the arable land has a thicker bed of soil than in Finland, resting on a substratum of granite rocks, which occasionally crops out to the surface. The mountain chain of the Valdais extends its last undulating and sterile branches to the shores of the Baltic across Livonia. Of all the towns along these coasts Riga is the most important, and indeed, it is one of the righest, finest, and most active of the Russian empire. Situated at the bottom of the Gulf of Riga, it is shut in by two large and very important islands, Oesel and Dago, of which we will speak afterwards. Riga is celebrated by more than one passage in the history of Germany. Under the Knights of the Order of Swoadbearcrs Bassi Feri), so powerful during the latter period of the middle ages, under the Danish dominion, and' under the rule of Sweden. Riga was always the capital of LiVonia. By the treaty of Nystad, in 1721, it was ceded to Russia, and became the chief place of the province of Riga, and capital of the Government of Livonia. Its position on the right bank of the Western Dwina, a short distance only from it s mou th, h as attracted to it a commerce which, by its extent, has raised Riga to the rank'ef the second Russian port in the Baltic. The river has a majestic breadth, even under the very walls of the town, but ships of very large tonnage cannot ascend so high, and are obliged to discharge and take in cargo at Dunamunde, a small fortified port which commands the entrance to the Dwina. _ No town , which they have conquered displays in so striking a manner the disorganising spirit of the Rus sians. It seems as if everything that bears the imprint of an anterior civilisation 'annoys and irritates that peo ple, and excites it to the task of defacing every trace by any means in their power. Beside a German town of brick and wooden gables, in all the quaintness and ori ginality of Teutonic architecture, the Russians have raised a new town the exact type of their retrograde genius. It is built of logs, and presents All the charac teristics of a Muscovite town, in which utility is sacri ficed to effect. The houses are low, ill-lighted, plastered over with coloured chalk, and in every respect on the model of Moscow, Sirubirsk, or Archangel. O n fi rs t walking through Riga, you are almost tempted to ask whether you are not dreaming. At first the impression is that „you are in some old-fashioned German town, when suddenly, in the midst of your illusion you turn a a corner and find yourself in modern Russia, with broad streets and houses as straight and regular as a regiment of 'soldiers at "carry arms I" The German town runs along the bank of the river ; the Russian town stands on a part of the old fortifications, and in the same degree as the one is busy and animated, the other is silent and gloomy. In the first one almost believes in freedom ; in the other you feel Russia and its instruments of tor et u r oroe ked, e a d r: and n fl d a g g a s y l t a i n o d n . r e e n r d e o t n h e e o s t t r t e t e s o a l d r e towns narrow , o f the Hansa, where the people were free, independent, and almost soverei gn ; t h ere the straight line represents the Cossack's lance, the autocratic will of a despot, who sums up in himself the whole national will Every one in Livonia nivaon.ia..speaks German and no thi ng else ; theman pt habits are the same as they were under this grandmaster Gothard Khetsler. The Protestant churches used to suffice for the railgious wants of the population of Riga. _That did not meet the views of orthodoxy, and a reform' was deter mined on.. In less than a century eight Greek churches were built, and that in a town whew the garrison alone belonged to the Greek faith. -It would be curious to know what the Emperor Nicholas would think if Prussia should some day put forward a claim to the protection _ of her Courland and LiVolliAll co-religionists against Russian intolerance./ Riga still possesses some monuments of her Oa glory ; two or three churches . with towers in the middle gothic style, an ancient palace in which the 'grand mss• tern of the Teutonic knights formerly resided, .and- st town. hall which presents" nothing remarkable. The - Russian Government, to flatter the turbulent poPele° . tion whose discontent it apprehended, built hospitals; barracks, public promenades, and a palace for the gover nor. It did not forget the prisons, and by degrees it widened a few of the principal streets.. Riga - is a fortified town of the first class. Besides very strong fortifications, it has - I citadel which commands .the lower.course of. the river. The distance of the town -from sea, hoWever, protects it from surprise. s de l r il . th l i s Uß ti L ti °: p ii 1 t u r E n 0 F l r N i c c E R s E .
