The market closed heavily, with American nearly id. per lb. lower ; other sorts little changed. The sales comprised 3,000 Ameri can, 260 Pernam and Maranham, at bad. to 'ad. ; 240 Bahia, at 6id. ; 250 Egyptian, at 6td. to Ofd.; and 300 Surat, at 2d. to 41d. per lb. Railway Shares were dull, with prices tending downwards. At the public sales 49,000 beaver skins, sea soned, realised Bs. 9d. to 14s. 2d. ; thirds, 4s. to 10s. id. ; and cubs, 4s. Gd. to 10s. ld. per lb. Of Musquash 506,452 skins were offered and went at 4W. to lid. per skin for seasoned, and at 2kd. to D i d. for thirds. Rabbit-82,470 skins sold at 2s. 6d. to 2s. Bd. These were all imported by the Hudson's Bay Company. From the United States and Canada, there were put up 548 beaver skins, which sold at 4s. 4d. to Os. 11d. per lb., and 423,421 Musquash at sid. to lid, per skin, for first, and 2d. to 4d. for thirds. The beaver met with a brisk demand, particularly fine dark, which realised 50 per cent. advance on the corresponding sales of last year. The Hudson's Bay Musquash Y. F. sold rather cheaper, but the M. R. and E.M. obtained fully 2d. advance. At the sales of the United States and Canada sorts this improvement was in general maintained on last autumn sales. Hudson's Bay Rabbit was in fair demand. Much satisfaction is expressed in the City at the intention to thrown open the coasting trade to foreign ships. The ship Mohawk has arrived from Sydney. Her dates are not later than Sept. 17. She has on board 14,095 ounces of gold. The following important telegraphic despatch appeared in the Amsterdam, Courant :—" Trieste, Monday, Jan. 30.—The commanders of the united French and English fleets have received later orders to play a more active part in the Black Sea. The French and English ships seek out the Russian vessels, and whenever they meet them, conduct them to the nearest Russian port, with an injunction that they are not again to quit it. Recently, it is reported, nine or ten large Russian ships off the Asiatic coast, in the/ neigh bourhood of Batoum, were met by the greater por tion of the combined fleets, and compelled to leave and proceed to the nearest harbour." The Courant remarks, upon the above statement, that it probably gave rise to the erroneous report given in the Patric, as to a hostile encounter in the Black Sea. . . . Bills of Exchange upon the principal Continental cities were taken yesterday, at nearly previous rates. Paris, 90 days, 25, 27i to 30 ; Amsterdam, 11, 151 to 2 ; and Hamburgh, 13, 4 to 44.

By James Wyld.— Another inimitable map has, within the last few hours, been issued from Mr. Wyld's establishment. A map relating to the seat of war iu Asia, and published at a time the most appropriate. Nothing could well be more ad mirable in regard to all such essential merits as minute detail, acceptable clearness, and undoubted authenticity. The map of the Caucasus here given to the public, will be especially welcome just now to the great mass of our intelligent population. HERR BRANDT.—In the Gazette Musicale de Paris, it is observed, "A very distinguished artist Al. Brandt, preceded by a brilliant reputation acquired in the con certs of classical music at London, has arrived in Paris. He has already appeared at several of our salons, and by his performance of the cavatinas of Rossini, or of the melodies of Schubert, or of dramatic romances such as the Chem* du Paradis of Jacques Blumenthal has, with his exquisite tenor voice, and'his admirable method, commanded an equal success in all the various moreeauce he has interpreted," Mr. BROTHERTON moved, that if any new business be brought on after twelve o'clock at night, and a mem ber rise to order,'and objects to the house proceeding with the debate, a division shall, without further discus sion, be immediately taken on the question, that the debate be now adjourned, unless the mover f the ori ginal motion agrees to its being postponed. The hon. member said the time had arrived when a stop ought to be put to sitting after midnight. In 1849 the house sat 76 hours after midnight ; in 1850, 108 hours ; in 1851, 86 hours ; in 1852, 61 horns ; and in 1853, 133 hours. This was the only country, he believed, in the world where the business of the legislature could not be carried on in daylight, and he thought it was a disgrace to our nationality that the House of Com mons should sit so long at unreasonable times and hours. He hoped, therefore, the house would ex perience no difficulty in adopting his motion, and put an end to the bad practice which he and others complained of, and which had already seriously affected the health of many honourable members who entertained a conscientious conviction that it was a duty they owed to the country to remain in the house until its rising. (Hear, hear.) Let them try the expe riment which he proposed for one session, and if it did not answer he would most readily give it up. Hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion, but he felt that it did not go far enough. The evils of these late sittings were greatly on the increase, and not the least of them was to be found in the confusion which prevailed in our statute books. Many modern acts of parliament were a mass of inconsistency and confusion, which no lawyer could understand ; and this was the natural result of hasty legislation, carried on at late hours of the night. (Hear, hear.) Ho appealed to the house to put an end to this disgraceful state of things, and he thought the first step towards doing so would be to adopt this motion. Sir J. PAKINGTON said this was a question of hours as disclosed by the motion, but he must be per mitted to say that, if they made it a question of months, it would be more satisfactory to the country. Could they not so amend the forms'and practice of tho house as to make it necessary for them to meet earlier in the year, or to prorogue in sufficient time to admit of an tumn sittings ? Would it not be better to appoint a committee at once to consider the whole subject ? Lord - J. RUSSELL had long felt and fully admitted the inconvenience of protracting the sittings to a late hour of night, but hitherto the exigences of the public had demanded that the deliberAtions of the house should extend beyond twelve o'clock at night. (Hear, hear.) At the same time he could not see what good could result from the adoption of this motion, since it would still leave it open to members to move ad journment after adjournment when they were opposed to proceeding with new business after mid night, even supposing the majority of the house had already decided that such new business should be brought in. He thought, however, that great advantage could be obtained from the appointment of a committee on this subject, but as matters now stood he was afraid many measures of great public advantage must remain undisposed of, if the house did not now and than choose to sit at a late hour. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME could see no reason why the business of the country could not be done in sufficient time to allow of the prorogation taking place in July. He might be asked how this could be done ? Why, simply by limit ing every member who felt disposed to address the house to a speech of an hour. Much of the mischief complained of was attributable to the conduct of the great guns of the house. (A. laugh.) Instead of giving their views and opinions early in debate, they generally kept them selves in reserve so as to have the last word in attack. ing one another. (A laugh.) Now let this practice be abandoned, and all questions of importance could be disposed of with a night's debate. (Hear, bear.) Mr. WALPOLE said they seemed to be all agreed that the business of the house was not conducted in the best possible manner, and he thought they could not do better than at once to appoint a committee to consider the whole question. He suggested that in future more measures should originate with the Lords, and then the business, instead of coming in a mass upon each at the same time, would be equally divided between the two branches of the Legislature. (Hear, hear.) Mr. E. DENISON advocated the appointment of a committee. Mr. HADFIELD trusted the hon. member for Sal ford would persevere in his motion as it was impossible that members could continue the late sittings of last Session. Mr. NAPIER, on the contrary, hoped the hon. mem ber would not divide the house upon the motion, but leave the question to be disposed of in the manner sug gested by the hon. baronet, the member for Droitwicb, and suggested by the noble lord, the member for the City of London. After a few words of reply from Mr. BROTHERTON, the house divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it The motion was, consequently, lost. HEREDITARY REVENUES. . 54 .. 84-30 Mr. WILSON give notice that to-morrow the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would move in committee of the whole house, for a bill to alter the mode of providing for certain expenses now charged upon certain branches of the Public and Heriditary Revenues, and upon the Con solidated Fund.

WIND, S.W.—Light breeze, and dull, cloudy -weather, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1854 An honest delusion was yesterday completely and triumphantly dissipated. That " honest delusion," as the Leader of the House of Corn- MOT'S happily called it; as to the supposed uncon stitutional interference of H.R.H. the Prince ALBERT in the working and the policy of her MAJESTY'S Government. Nothing could by pos sibility have been more manly or more chivalrous than Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S detailed vindication. It was altogether conclusive. It dealt categori cally with the various calumnies disseminated by anonymous writers to the prejudice of the Royal CONSORT of our beloved SOVEREIGN. It met those calumnies, one by one, with-proofs of their utter fallacy, with facts constituting for each an explicit and positive refutation. All this in reference to the charge directed against the Prince of anything like "unconstitutional" interference in the aflairs of Government. An interference of some sort was at once boldly admitted. An interference that was already, indeed, notorious from the day of the Royal marriage. That allowed to the PRINCE CONSORT in right of his position as the husband of the QUEEN, still more, perhaps, than by right of his admitted pre rogative as Privy Councillor. It was simply pro tested by the Minister of the Crown, on behalf, we had almost said in the name of, H.R.H., that that reasonable and acknowledged privilege of in terference had never been exaggerated beyond the limits of what was manifestly constitutional. It was clearly demonstrated by Lord JOHN RUSSELL that the authority accorded to the PRINCE CONSORT by virtue of which he may be present during the interviews between the Ministers and the Sovr,- REIGN, was accorded to H.R.H. not as had been erroneously intimated, for the first time by Sir ROBERT PEEL, but long before the accession to supreme power of that illustrious states man, by his eminent predecessor, Vis- COunt MELBOURNE. It was shown, moreover, that the original concession of that privilege to H.R3I• w as only decided upon by the then Prime Minister of England, after it had received the approval of his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. Not restricting himself, howe ver , to this candid avowal, the Leader of the 'louse of Commons proceeded to lay before Parliament a yet more remarkable series of revelations. Rev e l a ti ons, b e it observed, in every way creditable to the judg ment, and we might venture to add,rk • evaae to the patriotism, of the CONSORT of the Sov It was explained by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, among other notable circumstanc es, how strongly and urgently the advisability of H.R.H. being ulti mately placed at the head of the Horse Guards was impressed upon the PRINCE CONSORT by the late Commander-in -Chief of the Forces, the Duke of WELLINGTON. It was yet more pointedly and s i gn ifi can tly explained to the House by the Noble Lord, its present Leader, how, and for w h a t rea sons, the PRINCE almost immediately decided upon rejecting- those urgen t and- powerful recommenda tions. Not without evident emotion did the House of Commons, last night, listen to its Leader's catalogue of those reasons —reasons s o peculiarly honourable to the good sense and the good heart of the Prince, to his prudence and to his magnanimity. Neither was it without mani fest emotion that Lord JOHN RUSSELL subsequently offered his grateful 'tribute to the reigning Sovereign, for those eminently constitutional qualities which she has displayed uninterruptedly since the hour of her acceseioD, and which the Noble Lord very rationally argued constitute for her MAJESTY'S R OYA L CONSORT the most complete and decisive v i n dication. It must be remarked, moreover, that this fervent and touching tribute from the lips of an ex-Prime Minister, was enforced soon afterwards, by the corroborative testimony volunteered by Mr. WALPOLE, as to the confidence generously reposed by her MA JESTY in the Councils of the DERBY Administra tion. Conspicuous among the incidents of the evening having reference to these ministerial refu tations of the calumnies directed by anonymous slanderers, against his Royal Highness the Priming CONSORT, must be severally mentioned the recep tion given by the House of Commons to Lord MELBOURNE'S written panegyric on his Royal Highness's " judgment, temper, and discretion :" as well as to the contradiction of the sinister rumours in reference to the Horse Guards, a con tradiction -penned by Sir GEORGE BROWN ; and that no less decisive disproof of the yet more sinister rumours in relation to our foreign policy, a disproof given in plain and unanswerable words under the hand of Lord WESTMORELAND. Similar explanations to those laid before the House of Commons by Lord JOHN RUSSELL were meanwhile being submitted to the consideration of the House of Peers by the Earl of ABERDEEN. And from the hereditary legislators, no less than from the popular representatives, the rebuttal of the im putations levelled against the Prince ALBERT elicited frequent and cordial acclamations. Altogether, be it said, her MAJESTY and her Royal CONSORT cannot but discover cause for earnest and almost enviable self-gratulation in the result of this first night's discussion in the Imperial Parliament. As most assuredly, out of these preliminary debates in the Lords and Com mons—the latter only remarkable for the brilliant but blundering speech of Sir R. PEEL, for the cautious oration of Mr. DISRAELI, an oration eminently judicious, saving and excepting only in his most mistaken allusions to the subject of Reform, but above all for the egregious timidity manifested throughout by the Opposition—out of these pre liminary debates, we say, in the Lords and Com mons, Ministers cannot but derive encouragement for the future legislative labours, if not for the collective repute, of the Coalition Government. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. JOHN O'CoNNELL took the oaths and his seat for Clonmel. Mr. SHIRLEY took the oaths and his seat for Warwick. Mr. STARKIE took the oaths and his seat for Clitheroe. PRIVATE BILLS.

PELLA.TT presented a petition from a widow, complaining of having lost her property through the de falcations of a Receiver in the Court of Chancery, and praying for relief. Mr. PACKE presented two petitions from Leicester shire, in favour of the establishment of reformatory schools.

A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, on Jan. 9, says : " The Turkish army is preparing to resume the offen- sive. MONEY MARKET AND OMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. ' Lord Redeliffe opposes the formation of foreign Legions. " There was a rumour that a collision had occurred between the Russian and combined fleets, but nothing official was known on the subject." The last telegraphic despatch received from Vienna states : " Russia is resolved to learn her exact position. Count Orloff demands how Austria will act should cir cumstances arise which may render her active interven tion in favour of Russia desirable. The reply is un known." Another despatch received from Vienna says that "the object of the mission of Count Orloff is quite pacific. It is to prepare for the discussion of new bases for the con- solidation of peace before the spring, in such a way as to conciliate the position of Russia with the wishes of the other powers." It appears that the Count has presented to the Em peror of Austria an autograph letter from the Czar, in reply to that which the Emperor wrote to him some time back. It is said that the letter of the Emperor Francis Joseph sets forth in most energetic terms the absolute necessity of peace. He is also said to have called the attention of the Czar to the culpable hopes which the revolutionary party builds on a war between the great European Powers. A letter from Berlin, of the 28th, in the Augsburg Gazette, says --" Austria and Prussia have done every thing in their power to ensure the maintenance of peace. The King and the Prince of Prussia have written on this subject autograph letters to the Czar, as well as the Emperor of Austria. Hopes are also entertained that peace will not be troubled. The news of a journey of the Emperor of Russia to Vienna and Berlin seems to gain ground. _ _ . The Correspondence of Berlin states that the Prince of Prussia, who is inclined towards an alliance between Prussia and the Western Powers, made use of the fol lowing remarks at an audience which he recently gave to the deputies of the Extreme Right :—" In case the complications of the East should affect Prussia, you will, gentlemen, find an opportunity of giving proofs of that patriotism of which you have so often spoken, and of showing that you know how to sacrifice your party feelings to the welfare of the country." It is well known, adds the Correspondence, that the party alluded to is desirous that Prussia should make common cause with Russia. The Patric states, on the authority of letters which it has received, that the Prussian Government has ad journed its reply to the c ommunications of Russia until it shall have known the decision of the Austrian Cabinet. The first interview of Count Orloff with the Emperor is described as having been very brief, and that it pro mised good results. A letter from Warsaw, of the 26th, states that the Emperor of Russia was expected to arrive there in a few dap. A letter from Dantsic, states that the Imperial guard has received orders to set out from St. Petersburg on the Ist of March, to occupy the coast of the Baltic, its head-qu'arters being at Riga. According to another letter the officer in command at Sebastopol, when the Retribution arrived there, has been dismissed, for having permitted a foreign vessel of war to enter the port contrary to the regulations. The lnvalide Russe publishes a naval bulletin from the Black Sea, in which, after a description of a two hours' bombardment of Fort St. Nicholas, it is said that "the Vice-Admiral sailed along the coast of Anatolia, but the weather changing, he was compelled to abandon his intention of attacking Trebizond." The date of this expedition was Dec. 31, four days before the combined fleets entered the Black Sea. A despatch from Constantinople, dated the 17th ult., states that the Turkish steamers returned from Batoum would start again for the Black Sea, under the escort of the ships of the combined fleet, which was still at Sinope. It was stated that another English steamer had gone to Sebastopol with despatches. It was also said that the Porte had accepted the ser vices of the Hungarian General Klapka, and had in trusted him with an important command in Asia. A number of other foreign officers have also been admitted into the army of Asia. General Baraguay d'Hiliiers had gone on the 16th to examine personally the fortifications of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. Defiance....... THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1854. opinion generally expressed there was, that nearly all chance of a pacific solution was over, and, so far as the Emperor allows his thoughts to be known, it would appear that he was much of the same opinion himself. General Pelissier has left Paris for Oran, where he is to make all the necessary preparations for the embarka tion of 10,000 men, who are to be sent from that province to Constantinople. It appears that in the first instance France will send 25,000 men, and England 15,0000 This united army will take the place of the Sultan's guard of 20,000 men at Constantinople, while the latter will be sent.to join Omer Pacha's army on the Danube. The Mitiifiter of War has sent orders to Metz for the fabrication of 235,000 Congreve rockets. The Bourse was greatly crowded yesterday, but there was not much business transacted, the speculators wait ing to hear the substance of the Queen's speech, of which nothing transpired up to the close of business.

Mr. OLIVEIRA gave notice that on Tuesday, the 14th of February, he would move, that in the opinion of this house the present rate of duty charged upon foreign and colonial wines is excessive and impolitic : and that the same be reduced to one uniform rate of one shilling per imperial gallon. BUILDINGS IN DOWNING-STREET. Mr. OLIVEIRA. gave notice that on Tuesday, the 7th inst., he would move for a return of the expenses that have been incurred in alterations, repairs, and im provements to the various public buildings in Downing street—from the year 1830 to the end of 1853, speci f ying what amount has been expended each year, and detailing its application. SEWERS COMMISSION. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to ask the noble lord at the head of the Home Department when he proposed to bring in his Sewers Bill. Lord PALMERSTON hoped to be able to do so at an early period. The bill would reconstitute the Sewers Board, and embrace the representitave principle. (Hear.) CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice, that to-morrow he should move that no new writ do issue for Barnstaple, Cambridge, and other places where the members have been unseated on petition, before the 9th of March. THE HOUSE KITCHEN. Mr. FRENCH moved that a standing committee be appointed to control the arrangements of the kitchen and refreshment rooms in the department of the Serjeant-at- Arms attending this house :—Mr. French, Colonel Dunne, Mr. Rich, the Earl of Mulgrave, Mr. Archi bald Hastie, Colonel Boldero, and Mr Hayter :—Three to be the quorum.—Agreed to. MIDNIGHT BUSINESS. ASSESSED TAXES. ------ Mr. WILSON gave notice that to-morrow the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would move for leave to bring in a bill to explain and amend an act of the last session of Parliament, a. 90, relating to the duties of assessed tames. THE NORTH MAIL. ----- - Mr. H. G. LIDDELL moved for a return of the time at which the night mail from London was due at York and Newcastle-upon-Tyne respectively, under the present arrangement ; of the date when such arrange ment took effect ; and of the actual time of arrival at York and Newcastle each day, from that date to the last day of December, 1853. Sir GEORGE GREY complained of the delay whirl' took place in the delivery of the north mail, o wing to its being carried round by the Midland instead of the Great Northern Railway. - Mr. WILSOg . readily assented to the motion, and said he was quite aware that there were good grounds fur the complaint. The subject was now under the careful consideration of the Postmaster• General. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR said the railway com panies were quite ready to treat with the Postmaster- General upon the most liberal terms, consistent with a due regard to their own interest. He would suggest that the city of Glasgow should be added to the return. After some further discussion, the motion was agreed to. --- THE ADDRESS. Lord CASTLEROSSE brought up the report on the Address. On the motion that it be read a second time, Mr. A. PELLATT took the opportunity of congra tulating the country upon the prospect of an amendment being made in the law of settlement. He was also de lighted to find that some improvement was contemplated in the Ecclesiastical Courts. The report was then agreed to, and a committee ap pointed to present the address to her Majesty. The other orders were then.disposed of and the house adjourned at half-past two o'clock. Abbas Pacha has signed the loan contract concluded in his name by different merchants and bankers at Constantinople. In' addition to this he has sent to the Turkish Government about Iho,ooo muskets, and more than 3,000 bales of rice. According to private advices from Constantinople, under date of the 16th inst., Namik Pacha has suc ceeded in negotiating a loan of 16 million pounds ster ling with 'several commercial firms in England and France, without the interference of Governments. It is to be issued at 78, under the sole guarantee of the Porte. It is now known, from official inquiries, that 4,155 Turks perished at Sinope, about 158 were carried off by the Russians, about 450 reached Constantinople safe and sound, more than 300 were severely wounded, of whom about one-half died, not having received for several days the succour they required, in consequence of the utter confusion that prevailed. The Russians amused themselves, after the destruc- tion of the ships, with firing at every boat laden with the crews, on every poor wretch even that was seen clinging to a plank or struggling in any way against death, They kept up their fire until they hit the object and caused it to sink. Advices of the 19th say that the Wallachian peasants sell all their cattle to avoid Russian transport service. The Russians prohibit the purchase of cattle from the peasants. The Montenegrin fugitives have returned from Cat talo to Montenegro. It is rumoured that Milosch has crossed the Servian frontier with Russian troops. OMER PACHA'S REPORT OF THE BATTLE OF CITALE. OFFICIAL COMUUNICATION—JAN. 15. Translation.— Summary of the Field-Marshal Omer Pacha's report from the Imperial Camp, which arrived late yesterday evening As already announced, his Excellency Ismail Pacha, with Ferik Mnstapha Pacha, marched from Kalafa,t with 14 battalions of infantry, 3 regiments of cavalry, and 4 field batteries to Tchatan, distant six hours from Balafat, having left a reserve of three battalions in the surrounding villages. The Russian force amounted to 15 battalions infantry, 3 regi ments cavalry, with 24 cannons. A sanguinary action ensued in the adjacent plain, in which, praise be to G o d, our troops, having destroyed four battalions of the ene my's infantry, the remainder fled in great disorder. The loss of the Russians, besides great numbers of wounded, amounted to 4,000 killed ; that d our army to 300 kill e d, and 700 wounded, and amongst these latter his Excellency Ismail Pacha, Ferik Mustapha Paella, Hus sein Bey, Miriliva, Ali Bey, artillery officer, and Hus sein Bey, commander of the Redifs. The conduct of our officers, subalterns, and soldiers is beyond all praise. After the action our troops forti fied themselves at Tchatan with a reinforcement of seven battalions and two field batteries. NEWTON RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) TRIAL STAKES.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 31.—At Bombay, the market was very dull ; and, although trade was rather better at Canton, it was in a sad state in Shanghai. Accounts have rendered the market very fiat, and prices at any rate less firm than they were ; indeed, purchases are made at a concession of id. per lb. in yarns, and 14-d. per piece in cloths, not of all kinds, but of various de- scriptions. Altogether, we have to report the day's transactions as of extremely restricted aggregate amount, on somewhat lower terms. ROCHDALE, Jan. 39,—We have bad a very quiet mar ket to-day in flannels ; the merchants show no disposi tion to purchase at the present time. The wool market is inactive, particularly in the finer qualities of wool, but prices have undergone little or no change. HALIFAX, Jan. 28.—The demand for worsted goods of all sorts has been very limited in our piece hall to-day, and very few pieces have been disposed of. Considering the season and the existing adverse circumstance, there is a fair business doing in yarn for shipping, but at very unsatisfactory rates. HUDDERSFIELD, Jan. 31.—The market has generally been quiet to-day. The goods which have been sold are principally light mixtures for the coming season. BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 30.—The prospects of the iron trade remain yet unruffled—warlike intelligence, high priced food, or rumours of tightening money markets among our foreign customers, seem equally impotent to offer any impediment to its satisfactory progress. FRANCE. Intense anxiety was manifested in Paris yesterday about the Queen's speech on the opening of Parliament. From an early hour application was made in every place whet's , it was supposed intelligence could be obtained. Nothing was to be heard in the streets, at the Bourse, in the reading rooms, in all public places, but enquiries as to whether any one had received a despatch containing even a line of the article; and as midday approached ex pectation was at its highest pitch. The speculations hazarded, the rumours set afloat, during that period of uncertainty were most curious, and as is always the case in such ci rcums t ances most contradictory. All uncer tainty was, however, put an end to by the telegraph, which brought passages of the article containing the summary of the speech. It was admitted that neither " weakness" nor " hesitation " was found in it. The Paris papers of yesterday are silent on the sub ject of M. de liisse'.eff's departure, which, if it take place at all, will probably be postponed for two or three days. It is said that the answer of the French Government to the demand for explanations by the Emperor of Russia was to be given yesterday (Tuesday) or to-day. That answer will be firm and precise, and its meaning cannot possibly be open to any mistake. It will declare that the entry o f th e co mbined squadrons into the Black Sea is not f or th e purpose of maintaining the strict neutrality supposed by Russia, but to protect the Turkish squad ron and the Turkish territory against any attack. It is thought the answer will be verbal. The journey of Prince Napoleon Jerome to Brussels is interpreted in various ways. The more probable ver sion is that which assigns to his mission the object of strengthening the friendly feeling which now is said to exist between France and Belgium, and which king Leopold has recently manifested a great desire to establish, particularly since the good understanding be tween France and England on the Eastern question. Acoording to all accounts, that friendly feeling will be manifested in another manner less equivocal ; and it is expected, among other most unexpected incidents to which the Eastern question has given rise, that the Duke and Duchess of Brabant may honour Paris with a visit before long. Prince Napoleon was received with much distinction on his arrival at Brussels. The Duke de Brabant met him at the railway station, and conducted him to the Palace. It is rumoured that Prince Napoleon would extend his journey to Berlin, no doubt with the view of coun teracting any influence which Count Orloff may be sup posed to exercise at that Court. Prince Jerome gave a ball on Monday night at his official residence. A great number of persons were in vited to meet the Emperor, who was also present. The Staines,Wok., &Wok.

We had a very limited supply of English wheat on sale to-day ; nevertheless the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at Monday's prices. For forward delivery very few trans actions took place. Foreign wheat, the show of which was tolerably good, sold slowly, but no actual change was noticed in its value. Barley was very dull, at Monday's decline. In Malt so little was doing that the currencies were almost nominal. Oats were held at the extreme rates of Monday. Beans, peas, and flour wore dull and easier to purchase ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

[ADVERTISMIENT.] Sight and Hearing The Royal Exhibition, 1851 Extraordinary Powerful Munich German Glass Telescopes, 39, Albemarle street, Piccadilly. Observe opposite the York Hotel. The Royal Exhibition. -- A valuable, newly invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the .size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one mile and a half distant ; they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera houses, conntry scenery, and ships aro clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most imp or t an t invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary powers that some, 3 inches, with an extra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3 ounces, can be seen a person's countenance throe miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They supersede every other kind fel. the waistcoat-pocket. and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful power ; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles distant. Deafness—New Discovery —The Organic Vi brator, an extraordinary !powerful and newly-invented instrument, for Deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as semblies ; the unpleasant sensati on o f s i ng i ng no i ses i n the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist. ance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
