Pending the vacation of the next few days there has been a closing of trsnsactions, while very few new ones have been ?petted, more especially as the fortnightly settlement takes place in the early part of next week. The Funds remain at about last night's improvement, and they are quite unaffected by the occasional revival of disturbing political rumours. A fair amount of business is in progress in the Discount Mark - et, very little effect having so far been produced by the commencement of the dividend pay• talents.

Last evening a very brilliant audience assembled on the occasion of the performance of Verdi's opera "Il Trovatore." The great novelty of the evening was the first appearance of Mdine. Trebelli-Bettini as Azucena, and Signor Fraschini as Manrico, but great disappointment was occasioned by the an nouncement that Madame Titiens, who was cast for Leonora, not having sufficiently recovered from her severe attack of cold, the music of the part had been undertaken by Madame Sinico. This unlooked for arrangement seemed todamp to an unusal extent the not over usually demonstrative audience, but notwithstanding this adverse circumstance Madame Trebelli accomplished a perfect and genuine triumph. She threw the utmost intensity into the part, and her vocalisation throughout was faultless. The duo with Manrico, " Un Memento," was re demanded, and she received the honour of a recall after " Del rallentati." Fraschini sang with the greatest taste and effect, eliciting very loud applause in "Di quella pira ;" and Madame Sinico was positively charming in " Tacea la notte," and for her splendid reading of "D'amor sull' ali rosce " she received a perfect ovation. The " Miserere," with the delicious introductions for Leonora and Manrico, received an enthusiastic, and well-deserved encore. Mr. Santley, as Count de Lune, gave the celebrated "11 balen" with all that taste and power which was to be expected from such au accomplished musician. The choruses were all given with fine effect, and altogether the entire representation was in the highest degree satis factory. For to-morrow" Linda" is announced, with Mdlle. Kellogg and Trebelli. UNCER7AIN DISTRIB U?ION OF HONOURS. We have seen how extremely unequal and un certain is the commemoration, or absence of com memoration, of our famous men. It is this which renders the interment or notice within our walls a dubious honour, and makes the Abbey, after all, but an imperfect monument of greatness. But it is this also which gives to it that per fectly natural character of which any artificial collection is entirely destitute. In the Valhalla of Bavaria every niche is carefully portioned out ; and if a single bust is wanting from the catalogue of German worthies its absence becomes the sabject of a literary conversation, and the va cant space is at last filled. Not so in the abbey; there, as in English institutions generally, no fixed rule has been followed. Graves have been opened or closed, monuments erectel or not erected, from the most various feelings of the time. It is the general wave only that has borne in the chief cele brities. Viewed in this way the absences of which we speak have a touching significance of their own. They are eloquent of the force of domestic and local affection over the desire for metropo litan or cosmopolitan distinction—eloquent of the force of the political and ecclesiastical preju dice at the moment—eloquent also of the strange caprices of the English public. Why are men so famous as Burke and Peel amongst statesmen, as Pope and Gray, Wordsworth and Southey amongst poets, not in the Statesmen's or the Poet's Corner ? Because the patriarchal feel ing in each of these men, so different each from the other, yet alike in this, drew them from the neigh bourhood of the great, with whom they con sorted in the tumult of life, to the graves of father and mother, or beloved child, far away to the country churchyards ,where they seve rallyp repose — in each, perhaps, not unmingled with the longing desire for a simple resting place which is expressed in Pope's epitaph on him self at Twickenham. Why is it that Montague Earl of Sandwich, Monk Duke of Albemarle, re storers of the monarchy, Archbishop Usher, the glory of the Irish Church, Clarendon the historian of the Great Rebellion, rest here with no contempo ary monument, three of them with none at all? That blank void tells again in the bare stones the often repeated story of the ingratitudeof Charles 11. to wards those to whom he owed so much and gave so Why is it that poets lik e C o l er id ge, S co tt an d Burns, astronomers like He rsc h e l , di scoverers lik e little. H arv ey and Bell, have no memorial? Because, for the moment, the fashion of public interment had drifted away from the abbey, or lost heed of de parting greatness in other absorbing interests or ceased to regard proportion in the distribution of sepulchral honours. It is well that this should be so. Westminster Abbey is, as Dr. Johnson well said, the natural resting place of those great men who have no bond elsewhere. Its metropolitan position has, in this respect, powerfully contributed to its fame. But even London is, or ought to be, insignificant com pared with England; even Westminster Abbey must at times yield to the more venerable, more enduring claims of home and of race. Those quiet graves far away are the Poets' Corners of a yet vaster temple ; or may we take it yet another way, and say that Stratford-on-Avon and Dryburg, Stoke Pogis, and Grasmere are chapels-of-ease united by invisible cloisters with Westminster Abbey itself ?

His Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty the Emperor of Austria has been most graciously pleased to confer the decoration of the order of Franz Joseph on the Chevalier Van den Bergh, Imperial Rayal Austrian Vice-Consul at Portsmouth. Southamp ton, drc., as a mark of his Majesty's approbation of his services. REPRESENTATION OF LAUNCESTON.—There is no reason to doubt that this Cornish seat, vacant by the re signation of Mr. Campbell, will be filled by Mr. Lope; of the Western District, who has arrived in the borough ani issued his address. There is no probability of any oppo sition, the Liberals deeming it useless to engage in a fight until the general election, when the constituency will be considerably enlarged. The nomination is fixed for Thursday. EARTHQUAKE AT JERSEY.—The inhabitants of the island of Jersey were alarmed on Saturday morning, be tween the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, by two distinct shocks of earthquake, which followed each other in rapid succes sion. The sound and the effect of the shock were like what would Le produced by a heavy vehicle or other heavy ob ject being dragged over rough paving stones. Many of the residents in the town of St. Helier were awakened by the noise and the peculiar sensation produced. Several got out of bed and looked into the street, expecting that the noise was produced by a passing vehicle. Articles of furniture were made to vibrate most distinctly in numbers of dwellings. The course of the vibration appeared to be from east to west.

Anderson in the chair, when the loth clause of the Regulation of Railways Bill was discussed, and it was resolved—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, it is undesirable that the monopo lizing powers of railway companies should be in any way increased ; that the bill now before Parliament, called the Regulation of Railways Bill, will have that effect, and, therefore, it is necessary that such steps should be taken as will prevent its becoming law, and that the Council of the Tradesmen's Guild and the committee of the Guardian Society be appointed a committee, with power to add to their utleaber, to oppose the said Bill in Far listout," GRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) THE MURDER AT FOREST-HILL. Richard Bishop was indicted for the wilful mur der of Alfred Cartwright at Forest-hill. It will be recollected, from the report of the case which has already appeared in The Sun, that the prisoner was with others drinking at the Swiss Cottage public-house on Thursday last, the deceased and his father being then present. After a short time had elapsed the prisoner said he was quite ready to fight any one for a shilling, and then he struck the deceased twice with his fist. Cartwright said he should give the prisoner into custody, because if he did not know better he must be taught. He then left the place with the inten tion of looking for a policeman ; but not finding one he returned to the public-house, by which time a constable had arrived there. He gave the pri soner into custody, and on their way to the police station, after they had gone about 300 yards, the prisoner said to Cartwright, " Are you going to lock me up for the trumpery affair ?" Cartwright told him that be intended to so, and they continued on the road to the station. Having gone some distance further, Cart wright went up to the constable who had the pri soner in custody, with the intention of speaking to him, when the prisoner repeated the question he had already put to him, and receiving the same answer, he fumbled about with his right hand until he got a large clasp ktife from his pocket, with which he made a thrust at Cartwright and stabbed him in the abdomen, and before the wounded man could be conveyed to the hospital he expired. Evi dence was produced on the part of the prosecution to prove that the prisoner was not drunk as was alleged. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The Clerk of the Arraigns asked the prisoner, in the usual form, whether he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed. The Prisoner replied—Yes, I have. I had been drinking hard that day a great quantity of rum. Eight witnesses could be found to speak to that, but the case had not been inquired into as it ought to have been. Proclamation of silence having been made, Mr. Justice Keating said the jury had come to the concltision that he was guilty of the indictment preferred against him, and he did not see how any body of men, under the obligation of an oath, could have done otherwise. It was the most wilful, pre meditate 3, and deliberate murder he had ever known, and he hop 3d the prisoner would make the best use of the time that was left him on earth. The law was more merciful to him than he had been to the unfortunate man, the father of a family, whom he hurried out of the world without one minute's preparation, as it gave him time to prepare to meet the sentence he would have to undergo; and he also implored the prisoner to use that time in the consideration of the position he would occupy hereafter. The sentence of the law was that he be hanged by the neck until he be dead, and that his body be afterwards buried w ithin the precincts of the prison. The Sheriff of Kent was ordered to see the sen tence of the law carried into effect. The prisoner left the dock quite unmoved. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Henry Lee, a carman, was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying Robert Forster on the 12th of March last. The death of the unfortunate man was occasioned through a public-house row in Bermondsey. The jury found a verdict of not guilty, but the learned judge cautioned the prisoner to avoid pub lic-houses for the future. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Piggott.) CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER BY BURNING. Mary Manning, an Irishwoman, with a baby in her arms, was indicted for the wilful murder of Honorie Sweeting. - The prisoner resided at Providence-place, Ful ham, in the same house as the mother of the unfor tunate child. On the 27th of February Mrs. Sweeting had occasion to leave her room to chop some wood, leaving the child, which was about ten months old, sitting up in its cradle, the prisoner being in her own room putting her baby to sleep. Mrs. Sweeting then heard her child crying, and on returning up stairs she found the prisoner sitting in front of the fire with her own baby in her lap. Her (Mrs. Sweeting's) baby continued to cry very violently, but up to this time she had taken no no tice of the child beyond trying to quiet it. This she was unable to do, and then she saw blood about the child's legs. She took up the infant, and then found it had been dreadfully burned about the lower part of the body, although there was no mark of fire being applied to the clothes of the unfortunate infant. Mrs. Sweeting accused the prisoner with having burnt the child, but she denied it in very strong terms. The child was at once taken to the doctor's, but it expired the following day. Mr. M. Williams, for the defence, said there was no evidence to prove that the prisoner had placed the child near the fire, and as it might have fallen close by it and thus received the injury, he hoped a w n o d u fi ld nd ad th o e pt pr t i h so e n n e lo g st ai ra lty erciful view of the of manslaughter. te l ha t se s ey hould be remembered that the prisoner alleged she and the mother of the child had been drinking during the day, on which the child received by some means not clearly known the injury which caused its death. The jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter. Sentence deferred. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) OBTAINING 3IONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES. Edward Vaughan Arbuckle was indicted for un lawfully obtaining by false pretences a sum of money from Abnnaduke Marsden. The jury found him guilty, and the learned Judge sentenced him to five years' penal servitude. FOURTH COURT. (Before the Recorder.) STEALING TEA. William Neville, carman, was indicted for steal ing a quantity of tea, the property of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company ; and a man named Solomons was also indicted for re ceiving the same. The learned Judge sentenced the prisoners to 18 mouth's imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE 11VTEI , LIGENCE.-THIS DAY. THAMES. AN UNMANLY SEAMAN. —Thomas Byrne, a sailor, who has recently been paid off, and with the usual .improvidence of sevnen has spent all his money and lost all his clothes, except those he stood upright in, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with as saulting several persons. Last night the prisoner was intoxicated and stag gering about Rateliff-highway, running at and pushing down every girl he met with. He met with a girl named Alice Simmons and knocked her down with his fist. Her screams brought a police constable, named Edward Bucknell, 169 11, to the spot, and he took the prisoner into custody. The policeman was then struck. _ The prisoner, in extenuation of his conduct, s aid that he had lost his money and his clothes, and he was very tipsy last night. _.... . . Mr. Benson—That is no excuse for your running a muck and assaulting every girl you met with. You also assaulted the police. You are sentenced to 10 days' imprisonment and hard labour. WORKHOUSE BIRDS.—Anna Tinsley, Eliza Byrne, and Jane Mahoney, three able-bodied girls, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with refrac tory conduct in the City of Loudon Unien House, Bo w -road. Mr. John Saunders, master of the Union, said that the prisoners had been in the workhouse or the workhouse schools all their lives. They were very disorderly and violent girls, and they were swear ing, roaring, and shouting and difiturbing. tine other inmates yesterday. They set all authority at de fiance. Tinsley and Mahoney had been in prison before. The prisoners all denied that they had offended in the manner stated, and made a long and cla morous defence. They declared they were ill-used, beaten, imprisoned, and half-starved. Their state ments proved to be a tissue of falsehoods. The City of London Union is the best managed in the kingdom, and the dietary and treatment very liberal. Mr. Benson did not think that any advice or im prisonment would do them good. He sentenced Tinsley and Mahoney to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour, and Byrne to seven days' impri sonment and hard labour. THE SPECTAIOR ON MRS. CAMP. Mr. J. Clarke has achieved a certain success in the delineation of Mr. Dickens's greatest character —Mrs. Gamp—but he has produced the character with such " modifications" (as Lard Stanley says with regard to the Irish Church) that it could scarcely satisfy the mind of her profoundest ad mirers. To act Mrs. Gamp is a greater effort, of course,—because Mrs. Gamp herself, is so much grander a conception,—than to act Bailey Junior ; and we do not deny, therefore, that Mr. J. Clarke has achieved something greater than Miss E. Far ren in her impersonation of Todgers's bcy. But certainly the masculine nature in Mr. Clarke has in jured Mrs. Gamp, more than the woman in Miss Farren has injured Bailey Junior. hence her Bailey Junior, though a considerably inferior, is, on the whole, a more perfect artistic effort than Mr. Clarke's more ambitious and more powerful per formance. The pert, keen, London gamin, half drilled, but with an ambition for flashy grandeur, is quite within Miss Farren's grasp ; indeed, we are not quite sure that she was not born for the part. But the conception of Mrs. Gamp can scarcely be within any man's grasp,—though more nearly perhaps than within any woman's, for Mr. Dickens, though he has constructed her character most truly on the foundations of a monthly nurse's propensi ties, has given it an originality, a force of initiative, a far-reaching variety of comprehension, to which we never saw any actress ever approach. Still, the masculine basis is a false basis for the character, though it may be subservient to the effects of imagi native freshness and grasp with which the great humourist has endowed his greatest creation. Con sider this only—that Bailey Junior's precocious ex ternal criticism on Mrs. Gamp has to be curtailed of one of its most expressive features—morally as well as physically impressive, we mean—in order to suit Mr. Clarke's impersonation : " There's the re mains of a fine woman about Sairah, Poll," ob served Mr. Bailey, with genteel indifference ; " too much crumb, you know, too fat, Poll; but there's many worse at her time of life." The criticism in italics is necessarily left out at the Olympic, for it would be a very false criticism on Mr. Clarke's "Mrs. Gamp." There is certainly by no means " too much crumb" about her—too much crust rather, both physically and mentally. She is, indeed, bony ; and being bony, and in physique altogether more like Mr. Dickens's conception of her " pard ner Betsy Prig," than the true Mrs. Gamp, there is a want of keeping between the unwholesome but overflowing imaginative fat of her mind, which so fills in and cushions the hard knobs of her indi vidual selfishness, and her physical appearance. But even if Mr. Clarke were fat, and not lean, we do not think that—fat being by no means a pecu liarity of either sex—the shortcomings of his quali fications for the character would be removed. The freshness and audacity, the incessant initiative, the sustained selfishness of purpose in Mrs. Damp's imagination are masculine in their originality ; but the plan of its manifestation, the indirectness, the subtle innuendo, the wealth of involved suggestion, the fussy detail, the dappled surface of her profes sional sentiment, are all completely female, and it is in the delineation of these that Mr. Clarke's efforts are so imperfect. To explain what we mean, let us contrast for a moment the style of Mr. Mould the undertaker's professional sentiments with the style of Mrs. Gatnp's. Both are vulgar people, full of the same class of vulgarities, and Mr. Mould is, as pictured by Mr. Dickens (he is omitted from the play at the Olympic), much more of a true carica ture than Mrs. Gamp ; but note how Mr. Dickens makes Mr. Mould's professional self- interest and self-admiration diffuse itself equably and uniformly, as it were, over his mind and speech, while Mrs. Camp's washes and eddies in and out of the wind ing course of her fertile invention, with a truly female finesse, a truly female delight in domestic detail, and yet with a breadth and sweep of con ception as masculine as the form is feminine : " tell you what, my dear' (Mr. Mould observes, when Mrs. Gamp had just left him, after some very acute flattery), 'that's a very shrewd woman. That's a woman whose intellect is immensely superior to her station in life. That's a woman who observes and reflects in an uncom mon manner. She's the sort of woman, now,' said Mould, drawing his silk handkerchief over his head again, and composing himself for a nap, one would almost be dis posed to bury for nothing, and do it neatly, too." But compare that with the exquisite detail and finesse with which Mrs. Gamp offers a suggestion of precisely identical philanthropy and generosity — her object being, however, to convey to Mr. Peck sniff an idea of the terms she should expect for her funereal job : " Ah !' repeated Mrs. Gamp, ah dear ! When Gamp was summoned to his long home, and I see him a lying in Guy's Hospital, with a penny piece on each eye, and his wooden leg under his left arm, I thought I should have fainted away, but I bore up !' . . . You have become indifferent since then, I suppose ?' said Mr. Pecksniff. 'Use is second nature, Mrs. Gamp.'—' You may well say second nater, sir,' returned that lady, 'one's first ways is to find such things a trial to the feelings, and so is one's lasting custom. If it wasn't for the nerve a little sip of liquor gives me (I never was able to do more than taste it) I never could go through with what I sometimes has to do. "Mrs. Harris," I says, at the very last case as ever I acted in, which it was but a young person, " Mr. Harris," I says, "leave the bottle on the chimley-piece, and don't ask me to take none, but let me put my lips to it when I am so dispoged, and then I will do what I'm engaged to do ac cording to the best of my ability." " Mrs. Gamp," she says, in answer, " if ever there was a sober creetur to be got at oighteenpence a day for working poople, and three and-six for gentle-folks,"—' night watching,' said Mrs. Gamp, with emphasis, ' being a extra charge,—" you are thatinwallable person." " Mrs. Harris," I says to her, " don't name the charge, for if I could afford to lay all my fellow crecturs out for nothink, I would gladly do it, sich is the love I bears 'em. But what I always says to them as has the management of matters, Mrs. Harris"—here she kept her eye , on Mr. Pecksniff—" be they gents, or be they ladies, is, don't ask me whether I won't take none, or whether I will, but put the bottle on the chimley-piece, and lot me put my lips to it when so dispoged."' " What a subtle finesse, and yet what a stretch of bold imagination there is here—as unlike Mr. Mould's sober and practical measurement of his individual regard for Mrs. Gamp, by his approach to willingness " to bury her for nothing, and do it neatly too," as is the illimitable sea which yet winds so close and subtly round the coast s , and creeks, and inlets of the islands it en compasses, from the mere artificial moat of a mediaeval castle I Now, what we mean by saying that Mr. J. Clarke's sex is a great hindrance to him in the efficient delineation of Mrs. Gamp, in spite of some incidental advantages, is that he fails to give to his manner this vulgar finesse, this womanish interest in the:inns and outs, the details and domestic pictures, .of Mrs. Gamp's vagrant, yet thoroughly practical imagination. He acts her severe style admirably. Nothing could be better than the way he hooked Mr. Pinch with the umbrella at the steam packet wharf, and then sa vagely replied to his courteous question of which packet she wanted, " I suppose nobody but your self can want to look at a steam packet without wanting to go a boarding of it, can they, booby ?', Mr. Clarke is admirable also in the common-place servile parts, where he makes Mrs. Gamp curry favour with young married ladies whom she thinks possible customers. But he brings out her meditative memories as if they were points (which, of course, to the audience, they are), and without any of the fat and rambling pensiveness of Mrs. Gamp's rehearsing imagination. For instance, when she recalls the fate of her own children, " ' My own,' I says, has fallen out of three pair backs, and had damp door-steps settled on their lungs, and one was turned up amain' in a bedstead tWinkJIQWII " Aix, ClArkv does not figto really absorbed at all in the intrinsic interest of what he is recalling ; but, on the contrary, speaks it to the audience as one of his points. Mrs. Gamp is, no doubt, almost as difficult to act when in dulging these great recollections, as is Hamlet in reverie and soliloquy—and Mr. Clarke makes the same sort of mistake in delivering her recollections as Mr. Fechter in the celebrated, " To be, or not to be ?'' He does not let his mind wander gently over the subject, with a sort of chuckling emphasis on the detail. He thrusts out his recollections with too much emphasis on the jokes, though, we admit, with the thick and snuffy articulation of the true Mrs. Gamp. his conception of the way in which Mrs. Gamp probably took snuff, and of the audible convulsions in the throat which followed that operation, is perfect. Again, her frenzy of passion with Betsy Prig, when both those ladies have drunk enough from the teapot to inflame as well their noses as their passions, is very good. But these are but the superficial traits of this great creation. The audacious originality of Mrs. Gamp's genius in inventing a Mrs. Harris (with a family history of an immense minuteness and detail that is worthy of Defoe, and capable of indefinite extempore additions from time to time), and the immense subtlety with which this artifice is used as the medium of panegyric on her own capacities and virtues, both professional and domes tic, is not at all adequately expressed in Mr. Clarke's impersonation. We have said that there is insufficient lovingness in the way in which he makes her recall the real and imaginary incidents of her picturesque career. There is also a want of cunning self-importance in the manner of those circumbendibuses which she always brings round with such admirable dramatic success of aim to her own merits and hopes. And there is a general de ficiency of spontaneousness and involuntary cur rent about the drift of her recollections and inven tions. Mrs. Gamp, though cunning enough, is not, we must remark, consciously so in her recollections. They turn on the pivot of self unconsciously. When she offers to prepare toast and butter for others, she asks them if they would like it " with out crust," and then lapses with a perfect uncon sciousness into the theme of herself, for Whom, of course, it turns out that she is really, preparing it— " by reason of her tender teeth, which Gawp, being in liquor, knocked out four at a blow," &c. But this turn of her reverie is entirely spontaneous, re verting to herself only as the natural centre of all things, and is not in any way wrenched cunningly to her purpose. There is, then, an immense abandon of nature about Mrs. Gamp, which Mr. Clarke renders very imperfectly. Perhaps it is beyond not only him, but all human actors. A woman who could con template quite casually laying out " all her fellow creeturs" from the love she bears them, is not easily to be portrayed on any human stage. NAVAL AND MILITARY IN7ELLIGENCE. Forty non-commissioned officers and men of the 2d Battalion of the 17th Regiment at Chatham have been transferred to the Ist Battalion in Ire land, in consequence of the service companies being below their proper complement. By direction of the Secretary of War volunteer ing has been opened at the Royal Engineer estab lishment, Chatham, for the companies of Royal Engineers attached to the Public Works Department in India. The volunteers required are those who are acquainted with handicraft trades, besides archi tects and engineers. About half the number re quired have already volunteered, and volunteering is still open. An order received from the Horse Guards directs volunteering to be opened from the depot and other companies at headquarters for the four companies of Royal Engineers employed on the trigonometrical survey of Great Britain, each of which is below its proper strength. The St. Lawrence, Indiaman, Commander Wil cox, arrived from Calcutta yesterday evening at Spithead, with time-expired and invalided soldiers, accompanied by the following officers :—Col. Bird, and Capt. Macpherson, 93d Regiment; Capt. Gard ner, 105th Regiment; Lieut. Davy, 105th Regi ment ; and Sir George and Lady Youall. The St. Lawrence sailed from Calcutta on the 3d of January last, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on the 9th of February, sailed thence on the 13th, and called in at St. Helena February 24. The troops will disembark from the ship at-Spithead this morning. The Admiralty paddle-yacht Enchantress, Staff- Commander J. E. Petley, is in dry dock at Wool wich, being refitted and re-decorated for conveying the Prince and Princess of Wales to Ireland on their approaching visit to that part of the United Kingdom. The Repulse, frigate, is completing rapidly her armour-plating, so as to be ready for launching about the 25th of the present month. Staff-Commander George Raymond, late of the Dee steam transport, is appointed to the Britannia, training-ship at Dartmouth. The chartered ship Matilda Atheling, taken up by the Government, has sailed from the Nore, having on board a number of convicts under lengthened terms of penal servitude from the establishment at Chatham for conveyance to Gibraltar. Among the convicts despatched from Chatham are several of the Fenian prisoners, together with the two convicts, Corbett and Sweetland, who recently made an at tempted escape from the Chatham prison. The Matilda Atheling will receive on board a few con victs from the establishments at Portsmouth and Portland. A strong military guard from the 13th Light Infantry and the 15th Regiment proceeds in charge of the convicts. His Prussian Majesty's iron frigate Prins Frede rick Carl, some time under repair at Plymouth, left on Monday for the Baltic. The Prussian corvettes Medusa and Hertha, which arrived on Sunday from the Mediterranean, left the Sound yesterday morn ing for Kiel. The Prussian brigs of war Myer and Masquibb, are now in the Sound. The homeward bound merchant ship Salisbury landed passengers at Millbay yesterday morning. AIARKETS—(This Day.) CORN. The general character of the tra•le is firm but quiet. From the country markets quotations come steady, with moderate transactions. From the Continent the reports indicate firmer markets. At Mark-lane to-day there was a modorate attendance, and only a limited trade. English wheat moves off slowly at Monday's rates. • Foreign held for quite the previous value, but purchased sparingly. But little doing on the► coast; some thirty-six cargoes there, but the samples of the greater number are only just coming to hand, and not much therein doing at the moment. Flour unchanged in value, and a limited sale. Grinding barley rather firm. Malting unaltered. Beans very firm, and rather dearer. Peas sell in retail at unaltered currency. Oats in good steady demand at lato rates. No change in seeds. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. MEAT.—The markets were firm yesterday, but to-day are dull at the lowest quotations of Monday. Beef, 3s to 4s; mutton, 3s 4d to 4s 4d; veal, 3s 4d to 4s 6d; pork, 4s to 4s 8d per stone of 81b by the carcase. Poultry.—Supplies are moderate, but about adequate to the present dull demand. Monday's quotations may be repeated. Wild fowl is only moderate supply, and unaltered in value. Eggs steady in value at 6s for French, and 8s English. COLONIAL. SUGAR.—The demand is very active, and prices firmer. 2,500 bags common to fair Jaggery Madras in public sales sold at 23s 6d to 265, being 6 , 1 dearer. Several sales have also been made favourably, principally in Manilla sugars, at stiffer prices. _ _ . COFFEE.—The market is steady, with a fair demand. TEA.—The sales were resumed and concluded to-day without change in prices. RICE is firm, but without activity. SPICES.—The auctions to-day were small, and have passed off without quotable change. OILS steady at 34s for linseed and 35s for brown English rape. TALLOW. This market is quiet, but steady , a t 44s Gd spot, 44s 9d to 45s June, 45s to 45s 3d last three months. The feeling in favour of annexation to the United States is said to be steadily growing iu Nova Scotia.
