THE POLISH COLONY IN TURKEY. —The Pied inontese Gazette of the 24th gives an account of the Polish colony of Adamkioj, about three leagues from Constantinople, founded by Prince Czartoryski for the purpo , :e of offering an asylum to political refugees from Poland. Generally the colo nists arrive there without means of subsistence, but they are immediately furnished with land and the first necessaries of life, in consequence of which they are soon enabled to live comfortably by their industry. None but Poles are admitted. The events of 1848 and 1849 increased the number of colonists considerably, which has led to the culti vation of a proportionably large tract of country. There is aCatholic church in the coloDy. Prince Czartoryski is paid the value of his land by instalments, according to the ability of the toloakts• etrtattina LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1851. In the House of Commons last night, the Sergeant-at- Arms reported that he had been unable to apprehend WAGGET and the other parties charged with kidnapping persons to prevent them from giving evidence before the St. Alban's Election Committee. Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice that he should this day move an address praying her MAJESTY to issue a proclamation, offering rewards for the apprehension of these persons. Sir GEORGE GREY moved for leave to bring in a Bill for a better supply of water to the metropolis. The plan he proposed was to amalgamate the nine existing water companies, and to place them under the control of a single board. This board,waa to be subject to the con trol of the Government. The quarters whence water was to be, for the future, obtained, were to be decided on in accordance with the report of the competent scientific investigators who had been employed to make the ne cessary inquiries. Powers were to be given to the parish authorities to compel the laying on of water to dwellings requiring it. The machinery of the existing companies was to be purchased at a valuation. The di vidend of the consolidated company was at first to be 51. par cent., and was at no time to exceed 61. per cent. He added that he proposed that the Bill should go before a Select Committee. Sir J. JOIINSTONE felt grateful to the Government for having abstained from interference with existing in terests. Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANE disapproved of the measure, inasmuch as it was calculated to confirm the monopoly of the existing companies. Mr. HUME thought new companies should he per mitted to supply water to the metropolis. ' Sir B. HALL feared the measure would increase the power of the existing companies, bat would not oppose its introduction. Lord EBRINGTON regretted that the question of water supply had been separated from the question of drainage. Sir W. CLAY defended the water companies from the attacks that had been made on them, and declared that the proposed Bill was calculated to provide the cheapest possible supply of the best possible water. Mr. MGWATT disapproved of the Bill. Sir GEORGE GREY briefly replied, and the motion was agreed to. Mr. EWART then rose to move the following resolu tion:—" That it is expedient that the mitigation effected in the law of this country, with respect to the punish ment of death, be extended to the colonies." While the Hon. Gentleman was still speaking the House was counted out. To-morrow will be remembered by posterity as one of the most remarkable days in the reign of her Gracious Majesty VICTORIA. Earnestly is it to be hoped that our children and our children's children, even to remote generations, will look back to it, as to the inauguration of a new era in the march of civili zation. From it we trust will ba dated the com mencement of an epoch fraught with advantage to the great mass of the population. Under the auspices of our beloved SOVEREIGN, it is, in truth, but reasonable to anticipate benefits of this description as certain to accrue from the opening of the industrial Exhibition. More particularly when it is borne in recollection that the enterprise has long since secured to itself the sympathy, and, more than this, the cordial and energetic co-operation of the princes and peoples of Christendom. Having already ourselves obtained a glimpse of the marvels collected together from all quarters of the globe under the roof of the Crystal Palace, we may be permitted to express a conviction, conscientiously entertained under the circumstances, that the undertaking will be found in all respects to have immeasurably surpassed even the most sanguine and exaggerated expectations. Details may, of course, he here and there discovered to carp at, and occasionally the over-fastidious may experience a certain degree of disappointment. But regarded comprehensively, viewed as a whole, embraced in one broad and un prejudiced survey, we are satisfied that th© treasures accumulated in that sym metrical and resplendent edifice will exceed the day-dreaminga of even the most imaginative. Apart altogether from the productions of art and industry contributed by the various exhibitors, the Crystal Palace, "in which those works of inge nuity and application are enshrined, will be found sufficient of itself to extort from the lips of every intelligent spectator language at once of amazement and admiration. With the so. lidity of the whole structure, will be seen combined the utmost conceivable amount of lightness and trans parency. With its astonishing magnitude will be discerned the exquisite unity and charm of its pro- portions. Its splendour will prove to be tempered by coolness, its grandeur modulated by the beautiful gradations of perspective, its diversity of contents de prived of all the disagreeable effects of confusion by the pervading simplicity of their arrangement. So that the entire spectacle will reveal a refreshing aspect even with all its gorgeous and bizarre accompaniments, its decorations always motley and sometimes grotesque, its divisions and subdivisions ever contrasting, but ever also completely and exquisitely harmonized. Westwards the eye will wander over one moiety de voted entirely to products of the British empire, whether coming from the United Kingdom or from the distant and scattered colonies of Britannia. Eastwards the attention will be attracted to one or other of the different compartments allotted to our competitors, whether from the new or the old hemisphere. Remember, in addition to all this, that the contributions forwarded for exposition are of the most diversified nature, ranging from raw materials, like blocks of granite or beams of timber, up to the most delicate implements of handicraft, and the most intricate specimens of machinery. Enter ing at one corner of the great transept, the visitor will find himself surly:unapt' by n profusion of brilliant and sweet scented exotics, interspersed with fountains sparkling up among the branches of the huge trees which have been spared from the axe and which are already spreading forth their leaves from the " Topmost twig that look:, up at the Ay," 11 (va even to the rugged interstices of the trunk itself in the most green and beautiful luxuriance. Passin g on between the fountains, where may be seen among other fantastic devices, '‘ A Triton blowin g; ,jewel through his shell Into the sunshine"nj ' , the visitor to the Exhibition will pause in the centre of the enormous structure, looking alternately to the right and to the left, down the vast but minutely-de fined perspective of the nave, glancing but idly at the i n dustrial and artistic products of mankind in the first ardour of beholding the interior of the Crystal Palace.

Even to the muscles in the; toes of the Amazon, tense with the vigour of determination, to the veins which have started on the hind legs of the animal she is riding, and to the bristling tail and the distorted backbone of the tiger— the whole production is one of extraordinary power and of matchless animation. Hard by the Amazon may also be observed the gig antic lion in bronze stealing on as if with a tread of satin, and yet of the most preternatural dimensions, and the sublime conquest of the Devil by Saint MICHAEL, the Archangel, with an appearance imparted to the visage of the fiend, truly satanic in its diabolical agony. Scattered around such emanations of artistic genius as these will be seen squandered upon the counters of the compartments, silks, and velvets, and mosaica, and jewellery, and toys, and sweetmeats, and ploughs, and steam-engines, and watches, and vestments for the priesthood, and implements for the agriculturist, looms for the manufacturer, and organs for the musicians, objects of utility and objects of luxury, clothing and provisions, materials for the use of the wealthy and the indigent, articles employed by the savage habitant of the wilderness and by the pam pered child of civilization. Such are the marvels of human industry collected together in the Crystal Palace for the purposes of a really international Exhibition ; such are the wonders which have been contributed from all parts of the earth to swell the pomp of this unprecedented display ; such is the various and surprising accumula tion of the industrial achievements of mankind which the Queen of ENGLAND will solemnly inau gurate to-morrow with civil, military, and religious ceremonials. In anticipating from this Exposition of Art and Industry the conferrence of a new glory to the peaceful reign of VICTORIA we are, therefore, as suredly indulging in no idle or ridiculous day-dream ; we are merely looking forward to the inevitable con sequences of the moment when the completion of the ceremony of inauguration shall be announced by the firing of cannon and the flourish of trumpets—the exciting of a new and ennobling emulation among the peeples of the earth, and the welding of another and more golden link of amity than has ever yet been fabricated between the most powerful and civilized races of Christendom. and strong reasoning powers, should be so grievously mistaken in the conclusions he has arrived at. Mr. BUTT very naturally looked to the condition of Ire land, the country in which he has resided, and with which he is best acquainted, as furnishing the strongest arguments against the new ccmmercial policy. Ac cording to the Learned Gentleman, all the evils under which the sister kingdom has groaned during the last five years are ascribable to free trade, and free trade alone. The repeated failures of the potato crop, and the consequent famine and pestilence occasioned in that unhappy land, had nothing to say thereto the unnatural contraction of the currency, that reduced the circulating medium of eight millions of people to under 4,000,0001. sterling, produced no effect. The new poor-law, that for the first time made the poverty of the country a charge upon its property, had no operation—all was to be attributed to free-trade ; that was the bugbear with which the isle was to be frighted from its propriety. We would, however, venture to refer to a very able article which appeared in the Dublin University Magazine, in 1847, we believe the April number, from the pen of the Learned Gentleman, in which he ascribes those very evils which he has so graphically depicted to a variety of other causes, which will more fully account for them than the abolition of the corn tax. We do not desire to be understood as charging Mr. BUTT wi h inconsistency, on the contrary, we believe that he las always been a staunch Protectionist, but it certain': appears rather too bad to place every mischief that las arisen from a defective system of currency—from tle entails on land, and the extravagance of former provietors, and, above all,from the destruction for several mccessive years of the chief food of nine-tenths of the population—on poor free trade. The temptation, however, was irresistible. The Learned Gentleman was too practised an advo cate not to press every possible argument into the service on the question under discussion at the moment. man Port:: in f.vour of t 1.13 son-in. law of the SuL• TAN. Letters from Bucharest renew the assurance that the Russian troops will take their departure on the 13th inst." A letter from Smyrna, of the 12th, says :—" The town of Rhodes was but little affected by the shocks of earthquake which have lately taken place. They still continue at Macri, and a volcano has been formed near Port Leviral. Admiral OMER PACLIA is to pro ceed to Macri to examine the damage done. A part of the front of the palace, which goes back to the times of the chevaliers of Rhodes, has fallen down." Advices from Bihacs are of the 17th inst. Railways. Paid.

The Opinione of Turin states, from Venice, that French Legitimists continue to flock to that city, to pay homage to the Duke of BORDEAUX. A letter from Rome, in the Venice Gazette, an nounces that the French General Visco is shortly expected there to re-organize the Pontifical army. His plan consists in forming the chief nucleus of Bel gians instead of Irish. Signor CORRADO POLITI, a member of the late Constituent Assembly of Rome, was condemned to death at Ancona on the 15th; but it is believed the sentence will be commuted. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Great preparations are making for the celebration of the 4th May, the anniversary of the Republic, and the reactionaries are resorting to their old tactics of spreading reports of intended insurrections, &c., but the Republicans " bide their time," and " - will not rise, In spite of their prayers or their prophecies." COMMON PLEAS.-('PHIS DAY.) Nothing of importance transpired in this court during the morning. The Protectionist banquet at Edinburgh has been followed by another grand demonstration in the me tropolis, intended, we suppose, as THE GRAND DE MONSTRATION of the season. The worthy agricultu rists mustered strong on the occasion. The Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, had been secured, but it proved not sufficiently capacious. After a time a diversion was rendered necessary, and many of the auditory were drawn off to St. Martin's Hall by the attrac tions of the Earl STANIIOPE, Mr. G. F. YOUNG, Mr. BALL, and some other well known advocates of a bread tax, who got up a supplemental meeting, at which the torrents of superfluous eloquence found vent, and the ball was kept up, with the assistance of Mr. BRON• TERRE O'BRIEN and a party of Chartists, who de clared themselves specially invited, until five o'clock in the evening. A dinner at the Freemasons' Hall subsequently followed, under the presidency of the übiquitous Mr. G. F. YOUNG, who certainly had no sinecure on the occasion, having spoken both at Drury-lane and St. Martin's Hall, and filled the chief part in the postprandial entertainments. Many causes combined to give a crowded audience within the walls of Old Drury. Parliament being assembled, the Members of both Houses were on the spot to take part in the proceedings. The farmers were easily induced to attend in order to see and hear the great guns of monopoly, and monster excursion trains were started from various parts of the country, in order to afford the indulgence on cheap and economical terms. The approaching opening of the Great Exhibition, the anxiety to obtain a view of the Crystal Palace, and the possibility of achieving a double object, or in the homely phraseology, of " killing two birds with ene stone," exercised an ad ditional influence. If we add that many foreigners were drawn by curiosity to witness a public meeting in England, and that Chartists and others having no connexion with agriculture were present, we can easily account for the numerous attendance, without discovering any very extraordinary devotion to the cause, in honour whereof they had assembled together. It might, too, be considered as something in the nature of a dying effort. Lord STANLEY had com pletely failed in his attempt to form a Ministry when the unlooked for opportunity offered. He had not followers, with whom he could consent to act, suffi cient to form a Cabinet ; and in the explanations which he afforded to the House of Peers as to the causes of his failure he distinctly intimated that if a majority of Protectionists were not returned at the next general election, he would consider the matter as an fait accompli, and the question set at rest for ever. If something decisive were not accomplished speedily they might relinquish their exertions, and be compelled to resort to improved modes of eultivation, a large reduction in the quantity of game that now BO deeply injures the farmers, and possibly a consider able reduction of rents, in order that they might be enabled to meet competition by increased produce. Under such circumstances, it is by no means singular that some 17 or 18 Peers, and three times that num ber of Members of the House of Commons, should be The strength of the Republicans lies in the strict observance of the Constitution, and they leave it to their adversaries to take the initiative of violating it if they dare. On the subject of these attempts of the police to get up a sham emeute on the 4th May, in order to afford the authorities an excuse for perpetrating a coup d'itat, the National observes— " The reactionists affect to be uneasy for the 4th of May. Circulars have been sent to the departments, re commending vigour and energy to all friends of order, and to hold themselves prepared for the projects of the republicans. The chiefs of the reactionists know as well as we what they ought to think of these pretended pro jects; they know that the republicans have no desire to k ffo rd a pretext for new compressions, and for the main tenance of the law of May 31. But in despair of being able to profit by acts of imprudence, which are impcs sible, the reactionists want to boast afterwards of having saved society by their foresight, zeal, and firmness. There is not a single man of the republican party who thinks of disturbing by inopportune manifestations the success of the day of May 13, 1852. We have no need either of exhortations or of councils, to remind our friends of the necessity of circumspection and prudence. Re commendations have been sent to us, praying us to ad vise calm; but we shall take good care not to make our selves ridiculous by doing anything of the kind, or of giving the reactionists this argument for the day after the file : The Democratic journals were uneasy; they recommended tranquillity; therefore, there was some thing brewing; and consequently we have saved society.' Next Sunday, the people will have no need of your pre cautions and counsels to file with calm the anniversary of May 4, 1848—the anniversary of that day, when on the threshold of the Legislative Assembly, then, when the press and the tribune were free, not one of these ex- Constituents, whom we see at present conspiring for the different pretenders, dared to confess their faith; the anniversary of that day on which all so lemnly acclaimed the Republic, which they betrayed the day after. The people cele brated in a worthy manner the 24th of February, the date which calls to mind the Republic, founded by their power; it will celebrate just as worthily, on the 4th of May, the Republic hypocritically acclaimed by your weakness. But noise or disturbance! Why should there be either? To retard without doubt the victorious date of May 13, 1852? You, shall not have either noise or disturbance. M. Carlier m ey,;ou that clay, give leave of absence to his sergeants and spiel; their, muskets may remain quiet on their racks, fur the 130,000 electors who sent citizens Sue, do Flotte, Cannot, and Vidal, to the Assembly, will be officers of peace, who have their eye on conspirators and favourers of civil war. That is a police which neither tolerates nor protects blows or vio lence to the people, nor unconstitutional cries; it will be on the watch on Sunday next, as it will be on every day up to the moment when the electoral urn will invite all citizens to fulfil the duties which the Constitution im poses on them. The litoniteur contains a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, founded on a report from the Mi nister of War, making various modifications in the existing laws relative to grants of land in Algeria. The Committee charged to examine the proposition of M. DESMOUSSHAUX DR GIVRE, relative to taking up petitions to the Assembly, assembled on Monday to name its reporter, but this nomination bas been postponed to another sitting, all the Members of the Committee not having agreed as to the terms in which the proposition ought to be drawn up, the wording of M. DEsmoussEaxx DE GIVRE appearing to many of them to be too vague and indefinite. As it now stands it is as follows No petition brought to the Assembly by a body of people shall be received or laid on the bureau of the Clumber." It is said that General LARITTE Will be appointed the new Governor of Algeria. We read in the Messager of yesterday evening : ,‘ A Council of Minitera vas held this morning at the Ely see, at which M. Louie Napoleon Bonaparte pre sided. The principal subject discussed was the move ment for petitions in the departments in favour of a revision of the Constitution. The Council, on the pro position of the Minister of the Interior, engaged that it will not assume any initiative n this subject, but leave all action to the Assembly and the country." The Committee of the Assembly to which the Mi nisterial proposition for an additional grant to Mar shal JEROME BONAPARTE was referred has unani mously determined to recommend the rejection of the proposition.

This was an action to recover compensation in damages against the defendant, for diverting a water-course, in order to irrigate the soil on her land, and in which a verdict was found for the plaintiff. A rule for a new trial was subsequently obtained and argued on various grounds. The COURT now delivered judgment discharging the rule, with an understanding that the defendant should have a verdict entered on the fourth issue. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. HENRY committed the prisoner for trial. collected together, and that what the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire has termed, the " territorial Aristocracy," the burley yeomen and discontented Chartists, should have sufficed to fill up the theatre. indeed, it is only surprising that there were not a more numerous body of legislators in attendance to proclaim their allegiance to the banner under which they hope (vain anticipation) to win their way to place and power, and once more to taste the sweets of office and the dispensation of patronage, through the aid of that amiable personage the Treasury whipper-in. The absence of the recognized leaders in the Lords and Commons, of Lord STANLEY and Air. DISRAELI, and, with few exceptions, of all those likely to be in- vited to take part in the formation ofa new Adminis tration, if the obstinacy and incapacity of Sir CHARLES WOOD should again drive hi 3 colleagues into opposition, had rather an ominous appearance. Not all those who were present could compensate for the names that were wanting. The play was per- formed, but the principal characters were omitted.

The speeches were, with one ex.ception, of the ordinary prosaic character—statements of the ruin occasioned by the defection of former friends, and the determination of the sturdy bucolics to enforce re dress. Lord 'WIaCHILSEA vigorously assailed Sir JAMES GRAHAM and the Peelites, and accused the Right Hon. Baronet of making the most revolutionary speech he had ever heard. I.le also lamented the weakness (!) of Sir R. PEEL, in 1829 and 1849, to which he ascribed the concessions made in the pass ing of Roman Catholic Emancipation, and the abo lition of the sliding scale. Mr. G. W. Dawsox spoke until he was stopped by the palpable impa tience of the assembly, who, after having heard the really eloquent address of Mr. BUTT, were not dis • posed to afford too much time to his successors. Mr. LONG, Mr. GEORGE GAME DAY, Mr. BELL, Mr. WORSLEY, Colonel KINLOCH, Lord BERNERS, Sir J.

GERMANY. The Prussian journals of the 27th state that the most intimate relations subsist between the Austrian and the French Governments. The Prussian tribunal, before which LIASSENPFLUG has been summoned for embezzlernent, has issued a Hue and Cry for his apprehension. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, in the lnde pendance of Brussels, says that General DE Rocnow, Minister of Prussia at St. Petersburgb, has been appointed Prussian Plenipotentiary in the Diet of Frankfort. The New Prussian Gazette states that the Em peror of AUSTRIA intends visiting L e mberg about the end of the month, in order to have an interview with the CZAR on the frontier. . . _ The Augsburg : Gazette states, on authority of a letter from St. Petersburgb, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA is to visit Warsaw at the end of May, and that the Empress of RUSSIA is to pass the summer season at Ems. It has already been stated more than once that the Russian Cabinet had expressed to that of Austria its disapprobation of an attempt by that power to enter into the Germanic Confederation with all her states. A letter from Berlin of the 25th states that M. de NESSELRODB has, in the name of the Emperor of RUSSIA, transmitted to the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs a new note on this subject couched in still stronger terms than his former representations.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. Notwithstanding that the show of English Wheat in to-day's market was limited, the demand for that article, owing to the large arrivals of W heat from abroad, and the pressure of foreign Flour, was in a very depressed state, at barely Monday's reduction in the quotations. This week's imports of ioreign Wheat have amounted to nearly 13,000 quarters. Fine dry qualities were mostly held at full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds so little was doing that the currencies were almost no minal. Very little English Barley was offering, but the supply of foreign was on the increase. On the whole the inquiry ruled heavy at late rates. Although the in quiry for Malt ruled heavy, no change took place in its value. We had a steady sale for Oats, but all other ar ticles, especially flour, were very dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. English ...... Irish ........ Wheat. Barley. Qrs.

Her Majesty has been pleased to give directions that private carriages should be permitted to pass through the Buckingham and Stableyard gates of St. James's-park during the next four months, beginning from the lst of May. We understand that the privilege will not be extended to any public carriages; and that they will be closed at such hours as may be found neces sary on those days on which her Majesty holds draw ing.rooms and levees. ROYAL GARDENS, VAUXUALL.—Tbese time honoured gardens are announced to open with the "world's fair," to-morrow night (Thursday), with a grand bal masque, on a scale of extended splendour, and in celebration of the inauguration of the Cr) stal Palace by her Majesty in person. All that art could design, or capital accomplish, has this year been effected by Mr. Robert Wardell, the director, to render Vauxhall worthy not only of the patronage of our foreign visitors, Ind of the public in general. On Friday the regular season will commertce, and on Saturday Mr. Green will make an ascent in that " mammoth" aerial machine, the great Nassau balloon." LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY.—The Com mittee on this company's Bill report the preamble for this company's extension to Tilbury proved: that the proposed capital is 280,000/. ; proposed loan, 93,000/. ; amount of shares subscribed for new works, 231,45 /. ; and deposit paid, 28,931/. ; the greater proportion of parties to the con tract being shareholders in the London and Blackwell. The length of the extension is 19 miles, and branch to Eastern Counties 1 mile. The Committee report that the Bill authorises the company to purchase and use steam boats between Tilbury and Gravesend, and as the efficiency of the railway as regarded the Gravesend traffic was neces sarily dependent on the working of the steam communica tion between that town and the railway terminus it was de sirable such steam-boats should be under the management of the railway . company, and the Committ ee were o f o pi n i on that the restriction contained in 124th standing order ought not to be enforced. PROTECTIONIST DISSENSIONS.—We are assured that notwithstanding the seeming harmony which exists among the Protection party, their more recent councils have been, on some points, characterised by a plentiful lack of accord. We are ii idebted to one of themselves for the in formation that they are subdivided into two sections— one section acknowledging, and the other repudiating, the out of- door leadership of Mr. George Frederick Young. We have thus a George Frederick Young party, and an Anti- George Frederick Young party, in the Protectionist ranks. To such an extent, - we are told, is the feeling carried by the antagonistic parties, that the Anti-Youngites made a bold effort to prevent their hero's name being entered on the list of speakers at yesterday's Protectionist demonstrations. Nor were they altogether unsuccessful, for the pro-Youngites were obliged to agree to a compromise—the terms being, that they would ,a equiesce in their leader's exclusion from the boards of Drury-lane, provided ho was permitted to e . iF . - hibit on the platfo.nn at St. Martin's Hall, and to preside at the dinner in the Freemasons' Tavern. The Anti- George Frederick Young party assented, and so the matter has, for the moment:, ended.—Advertiser. MR. HAWES, M.P. AND BIS CONSTITUENTS.—The Cork Examiner states that a requisition from the electors of Kinsale has been forwarded to Mr. Hawes, calling upon him to resign his seat in consequence of his vote in favour of the second reading of thie Papal Aggression Bill. ROYAL ITALI. OPERA.—His Royal Highness Prince Frederick W illiam of Prussia honoured the perform ances at the Royal Italian Opera with his presence last even ing, occupying the Queen's box. In the suite of his Royal Highness were Cap min Count Goeltz, aide-de-camp to the Prince of Prussia; Colonel Fischer, military governor to Prince Frederick William ; Lieut. de lleinz, aide-de-camp to his Royal Highness; and Captain the Hon.

The Money Markett_ ; , all its departments, has been characteri s ed by ex the 4 quietness, and prices have, of course, been steady. ' l e e 7, rate of discount for good bills may be called to per cent., with not much business passing, and e dency, perhaps, for the moment, to lower rates. Ruillou, have been current during the month of an intentiont i ; the part of the Bank directors, to advance their sui r c i i mum rate beyond its present limit of 3 per cent.,a n , o contemporary stated, on the 19th April, that at ` lit, meeting of the Bank directors, on the 17th inst e iot the proposal for an increased rate was the by only one vote. The excitement in the Railway Share Market seems to h av e for " a t present subsided. There has b een no gr; decline of pric es , ho wever , an d genera lly no s igns 9 violent reaction. A ccor di ng t o th e quo t e d e xchang e bullion cannot be exported at a profit, and our con te/33 ; 0 pore ry states very trul , y that the Exchange brokers 0 been perplexed to account for the diminution of bul lion in the Bank, while the ra t es o f exc h ange rema i n at thr e e t present quotation. W e thi n k t h e reason w e he s stated will, at least in part, explain the re°,l ; weekly diminution in the Bank's stock of g°,' „t but we must continue to warn our readers t' o ' s many things are far more improbable than Per bsr e an early advancement of the Bank rate beyond thrhee per cent.; for it will be seen by a comparison Of t present returns of the Bank, with those for the corrro spending period of last year, that the stock of gold c° o l in the Bank's coffers is now upwards of three and a half less than in March, 1850. " The dull state of trade, noticed by us last month 6 s continues. At Manchester the want of activity se elli to be clearly traceable, in the main, to the extreme , 11n 13 "; certainty which hangs over the Cotton m arket. - 1 , 0 manufacturers have strong reasons to su pp os e that t- a increased supply of Cotton a ill lower its price, hence they are most reluctant to extend their °poll e e tions in any way at present. There is no avoiding t - conclusion, however, that throughout the entire coun try the people are holding ba c k their expenditure for the time of the Exhibition, and it is probable that the ti e ' tivity of the summer trade will comp ensa t e f o r the pa r tial slackness of that of the spring. " The statement made of a forgery having been CO13:1i 0 mitted, and stock sold out under it to the amount 0 10,0001., is not quite correct. No forgery has ne e , committed, but a trustee has made away with propel; which did not belong to him. It was sold out in his ow name and misapplied; but as he was the only truste e; there was eo occasion to commit a forgery. The gui lt .' party does not reside in the metropolis, and the tranes°' tion was carried on through a country bank and its al' respondent in London. The London bank which floc tiated the transfer, and the Bank of En g l an d, will n° l escape harmless ; but it is doubted whether the coal' try bank will escape, as it may be involved in P ee l; niary transactions with the culprit, w hi c h may make ' responsible to some extent to the party defrauded." „ a Yesterday afternoon the F ore i gn Exchanges NO" again rather lower on Paris and other places.
