ARRIVAL OF FOREIGNERS. If any proof were wanting that London begins to fill, it would be foetid in the fact that the lodging-house keepers are rapidly following each other's example, and taking down their bills of " apartments to let," because, and it is a good reason, they aro nearly all engaged. The various exhibitions in London are highly patronis d by wondering strangers, who seek novelty until the Glass Palace shall be open for their reception ; but there is no exhibition that has excited so much wonder and admiratron as the splendid es tablishment 01 Messrs. E. MOSES and SON ; foreigners of all nations enter the spacious show-rooms, and are struck with astonish ment and delight at the stnnerb decorations and the enor mous stock. It is well observed by some of them, that Napoleon, when he called the English a nation of shop , keepers, never contemplated that such a palace of trade as that of E. "aIOSES and SON could be erected. Strangers who visit the establishment daily in great numbers, are invited to walk through the spacious showrooms and warehosses, and every step they take excites their amazement. Whether they purchase or not, the same civility and attention are shown to visitors of all nations, and although Messrs. E. 31 , )SES and SON are known by repute all over the world, nobody can form the least idea of the extent of their Establishment, until they see the enormous size, and view the still more enormous stock. But accustomed as many foreigners are to low prices, where food and labour are cheap, the low price at which they see every article in Messrs. E. MOSES and SON'S stock marked in a country like this, where both are the re verse, makes the establishment appear to them altogether one of the greatest wonders of the British metropolis, and Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have determined that it shall be so— that their marts shall he clothing marts for the whole world, and that no nation shall rival them in the usefulness, the cheapness, the style, and general quality of every article t',ey sell. 7ha fo reigners who go home with clothing irom the establishment of Messrs. E. MOSES and SON in 1851, shall find no alteration, except for the better, in after years, and they may be assured that by send ing tor what they require, they will find the same treatment as if they came for it, for such h .5 been the system adopted by MOSES and SON that all dealings are uniform ; a system founded on small profits and large returns. It is by that straightforward system that they have succeeded beyond all precedent in trade ; it is by that system that their establishment has grown up to surpass all others. It is by that system that they have secured the confidence of " the people" of this great empire, and that they hope to secure the patron age of the people of all countries. A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application. The new edition of " Everybody's Book, containing a full report of the late important trial, may be had gratis, on application, or by letter, post free. E.

The wheat trade was very dull to.day, and what sales were made were at a reduction of 6d to Is per quarter upon last week's prices. The supply was not large. Barley was neglected by the malsters, and could only be sold at Is per quarter reduction. Beans and peas maintain their price. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—There has been a pause in the trade during the past week, and previous rates have been scarcely attainable. We had a fair supply of wheat from our own growers to-day ; millers had rather the advantage in buying, but the market was not quotably lower. Very little business passing in foreign wheat, but not much on board ship. We note no alteration in the value, but anything out of condition is bad to quit. A fair demand for barley, though hardly on so good terms as last week. Oats sell freely from the ship at fully our quotations. Peas are neglected. With moderate arrivals of linseed, and a fair demand from the crushers, the article is well supported; best quality of Hull cakes are not procurable under our top quotations, and a good salo for fine foreign. The rapeseed market, is very dull, and only a slow sale for cakes. In bones no alteration. The following are the present prices of grain s. S.

TUE STOUR VALLEY.—We learn that the London and North-Western Company have, with the view of show ing their desire to carry out the proposed agreement with the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, given instructions for the Stour Valley line to be completed torthwith. THE LOCOMOTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—WO hear that the efficiency of the locomotive department of this line, which has hitherto been admirably managed, is likely to be still further in creased by the employment of some of the old and ex perienced engine• drivers who left the service of the Lon don and North-Western Company about three months since. These men are amongst the ablest drivers in the country; and looking to the fact, that their characters for sobriety and freedom from accident with their trains are unexceptionable, and that they are now fully sensible of the folly and mischief of disputes between masters and men, they will be a v luable acquisition to the Great Northern authorities, who appear to pride themselves upon the rate at, and regularity with which, their pas senger-trains are worked. We regret to hear, that the new hands upon the southern division of the London and North-Western Railway have not been found quite " up to the mark."—Herald. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, APRIL 15.

The Money and Share Markets—Since we last went to press, the money market has been in a state of much quietness, and, if anything, a better feeling may be said to obtain in the bazaar. Late high rates of interest are still maintained, but a fall is looked for before long. Securities are dull. New Fives, 98; Company's Fours, 81f; Transfer Loan, 110; Sicca Fives, 102; Sicca Fours, 85. Shares are also dull at—Bank of Bombay, 14 per cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 17 per cent. discount; Commercial Bank, 16} per cent. discount; Agra Bank, 5 per cent. dis. Owing to the near approach of the Hooli festival, which commenced to-day, native dealers kept out of the market during the past fortnight, and transactions in imports have consequently been to a limited extent. The holydays terminate on the 19th, when it is expected business will be resumed with ac tivity. In exports there has also been little doing. Cotton Piece Goods—As reported in our last, the demand has been chiefly for grey goods, in which a tolerable fair business has been done. In grey shirt ings sales to the amount of 24,850 pieces, at prices varying from 30. to 6r. 34a. per piece. The value of nearly all qualities 40 and 45-inch makes has gone down a trifle, cad to effect large sales it has been found ne cessary to force them on the market. Jacconets— Sales, 77,000 pieces, at lir. to lir. per piece. In good demand. Domestics—Sales, 2,650 pieces, at sr. 3a. to 12ir. per piece. Madapollams—Sales 2,650 pieces, at 2*r. to 2r. sa. per piece. T. Cloth—Sales, 400 pieces 33k 24, at Rs. 3.8 6, and 600 at Rs. 3-7-0 per piece. In fair demand. In bleached goods sales have been to a limited extent.

A few other sales have had effect, which will be found noted below. In dyed and fancy goods there have been few transac tions, and the value of some few descriptions has declined. Cotton Yarn—The sales amount to 143 bales water and 115 bales mule twist, and 20 bales orange yarn. In the two former, 20's have slightly advanced, 30's remain in demand, 40's are dull, while for 50's the value has somewhat advanced. For coloured yarns the market has been dull for the past month. Woollens—Nothing doing. Metals—Some descriptions of copper and iron have improved during the fortnight, but sales have been small, and confined to English bar, nail rod, and sheet iron. Cochineal and Saffron—We hear of no sales, but the h price as of both h le a w. __s improved, and the stock of ? the latter Beer—The first arrival of the last October's brow of Bass's beer has just arrived by the Stornaway, and has been eagerly bought up at 80r. to 85r. The quality is reported to be excellent. Allsopp's last October brew has not yet arrived; a great demand exists for it, and it is much wanted. Of Tennent's a sale of 30 hhds. is reported at 60r. per hhd. 10 hhd. porter have also been sold at 50r. per hhd. Wines and Spirits—Sales of 4 hhds. and 6 butts of sherry wino are reported at 300 r. per 130 gallons. In spirits we hear of little doing, the only sale reported being one of 800 kilders. of gin, at 11r. per kilder. Marine Stores—No sales to report, and the dullness formerly mentioned continues to prevail for all articles coming under this head. MANCHESTER, APRIL 15.

From the day when the process was first practised in England it has been the subject of innumerable experiments, and many improve ments, upon the original crude plans. The pictures at first could only be obtained of a small size, and all the faces had an opaque ghastly look. These drawbacks were both gra dually removed, and larger and pleasanter, and, at length, coloured, portraits were obtainable. The action of time, however, was found to be injurious to the pictures, and even when carefully glazed the air found its way under the glass, gradually oxydized the silvered surface of the plate, and thus injured, it it did not destroy the aspect of the work. A Mons. Mansion has now found, and Mr. Beard has perfected a plan, for coating the surface of the daguerreotype with a kind of transparent enamel, which effectually ex eludes the air, renders a glass unnecessary, and permits, moreover, the application of colour more effectually than by any mode previously attempted. We may, indeed, now re gard these sun-pictures as capable of the high and elaborate finish of miniatures in oil, whilst they enjoy the indestruc tible adjuncts of a metal plate with a vitreous facing—the likeness safely lodged between the two, undimmed an un damageable by time. Tlis UNITED STATES' TAILIFF.—LIVERPOOL,TIIES . • Dev.—Our accounts by the steamship Arctic, from New York, notice an important feature in the new law of appraise ment for tariff purposes, namely, that the valuation will be according to the price paid originally for the goods imported, no upon the market value at the period such goods are imported. For example, if A buy manufactured goods in May, at 155., and import them into America in July, when prices have declined to 10s., duty on the larger amount will have to be paid. MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " SECOND LOVE, OR, BEAUTY AND INTELLECT."--If the attraction of the title of this novel is great, that of its contents is still greater. The execution of the story proves Mrs. Trollope, as usual, a perfect writer of tales of domestic fiction. The great majority of characters introduced bespeak our interest even at their entree. The principal personage satirized in the story is theß.ev. Selcroft—a clerical Pecksniff, less apparently pompous, but equally selfish, oily, and time-serving. ii e is an amazingly clever and gentlemanly man in the eyes of 11;s family, is deeply ambitious, and thirsts after pluralities, a deanery, and lawn sleeves. He is the favourite toady of the Low Church Bishop of M-- , but is soon metamorphosed into a cringing Puseyite to propitiate the Tractarian Bishop of the diocese in which Harley Court is situate.—Observer. REPRESENTATION OF BOSTON..--Mr. Alderman Wire is a candidate for the representation of Boston, vacant by the death of Captain Pelham. At present Mr. Wire is unopposed, but several competitors are named. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. JERDAN.—A meeting was held on Monday last, in the rooms of the Royal Society of Literature, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, M.P., in the chair, to consi der of the best means of testifying public respect to Mr. W. Jerdan, for the constant and great services he has rendered to the literature, science, and art of this country, as Editor of the Literary Gazette during the long period from its esta blishment in 1817 to the close of last year. The meeting was well attended by gentlemen connected with literature and science, who all entered warmly into the objectslor which they were assembled. It was determined to raise a sub scription, to form a fund for the purpose of rendering Mr. Jerdan's declining years as comfortable as possible, and a committee was formed for carrying this objezt into effect, con t a ining most of the leading names of the literature of (the day, such as Bulwer, Dickens, Hallam, Lockhart, Thackeray, Monckton Milnes, Lover, Douglas Jerrold, Leigh Hunt, Forster, Bell, Mackay, Swain, &c. ; among artists, Maclise, Stanfield, Barry, Cruikshank, and Durham ; in science, Mur chison, Forbes, Grove, Captain Smyth, Francis Ainsworth, and others, with a good sprinkling of Nobility and Members of Parliament. Mr. Joseph Arden was appointed treasurer, and Mr. Thomas Wright and Mr. John Shillinglaw undertook the duties of honorary secretaries. CLASSIC HARMONIC SOCIETY. Last evening Perry's oratorio, The Fall of Jerusalem, was performed by the members of this society, at the Druid's Hall, Farringdon street. The principal solo parts were sustained by Mrs. T. C. Gretton, Misses Champion, Milner, Sophy Law, Mr. Man ley, and Mr. Gadsby, who each rendered their respective parts with a precision and correctness that must have proved highly gratifying to the talented composer, who wielded the conductor's baton. We must especially be allowed to compli ment Miss S. Law, Mr. Manley, and Mr. Gadsby, for the talent and ability they displayed on the occasion. The chorus was numerous and effective. The hall was crowded. MISS DAVENPORT.—This talented artiste appears to have excited a perfect furore among the good people of Philadelphia, where she has been performing in a new tra gedy, entitled Charlotte Corday. On the night of her benefit the Chestnut-street Theatre was crowded to suffocation, and many were obliged to leave the house, unable to gain admis sion. One of the journals says—" Never was actor or actress More popular in Philadelphia," The Lord Advocate (Mr. Moncrieff) was elected t a n d e va U n n ce iv d e t r o si t t y he of ilr Orford,ciieoMember for L e ith on M o nd a y, w ith ou t opposition, in the place of M r .

We have received from Marseilles dispatches in anticipation of the mail which left Bombay on the 17th ult. The intelligence they contain has been in great measure supplied by the telegraphic dispatch sent by way of Trieste, and published in The Sun of Monday last. The Governor-General was expected at Attock on the 4th of March, and at Peshawur by the Bth or 9th. His arrival was looked for at the frontier with hopes that he will be able to devise measures for rendering life and property more secure there than they are at present. Outrages were almost daily committed by the hill robbers even within musket-shot of the cantonment of Peshawur. On the 19th of February Captain F. Grantham of her Majesty's 98th Regiment, was set upon and severely wounded by five hill robbers (supposed to be Affreedees), while riding out at Peshawur with a young lady, whose horse, as well as his own, was carried off by the robbers. The lady found her way back to the cantonments, when a litter and some native troopers were dispatched for Captain Grantham, who had been left for dead. Captain Grantham was wounded in seven places, and very severely, but hopes were entertained of his recovery. An officer's servant was shot dead while entering the city gate on the night of the 22d. A scoundrel who was challenged by a sentry of the Guide Corps fired on him, but was immediately cap tured, together with a trumpet he had stolen from the Artillery, and nightly alarms are said to occur from the lawless villains lurking about, who all carry fire arms and use them without scruple. At Kohat all was quiet, though the tribes in the neighbourhood were still quarrelling among themselves about the black mail we propose to give for keeping the pass open. Beyond Kohat, towards Bunnoo, 300 Wuz zarees have had a skirmish with the rear-guard of Walsh's 2d Punjaub Regiment, the baggage of which they in vain tried to capture. The mode of dealing with these tribes has yet to be devised. It does not appear that they are at present actuated by any hos tile motives beyond the mere love of plunder. Regular military operations against them are clearly ineffec tual, but it was thought that the head man in each village might be made answerable for outrages committed within its boundaries, and that a well organised patrol of irregular horse, occupying fortified posts at proper intervals among the passes, and supported by the troops at Kohat, Peshawur, and Attock, might, if organized on the footing of a police, prove successful in checking their depredations. It would be difficult to organize such a force without the co-operation of Dost Mahomed ' • but negotiations were, it is said, going on between the latter and Lord Dalhousie, which will, it is hoped, result in the re establishment of amicable relations between the Aff gahns and the British Government. Lord Dalhousie had called on Dhost Mahomed to deliver up to the British authorities Sultan Mahomed Khan, the trea cherous Affghan who betrayed Colonel Lawrence and his family into the hands of Chuttur Singh, at the commencement of the late campaign, and good hopes were entertained of the Governor-General's demands being acceeded to. Lord Dalhousie was expected at Simla about the middle of May. During his tour he had made per manent the various stations in the Punjaub, and the necessary buildings are to be erected at once. Sir Dudley Hill, commanding the Sirhind division of the Bengal army, died of apoplexy at Umballa on the 26th of February, and Captain J. D. Cunningham, author of " The History of the Seikhs," on the 28th, at the same station. Sir W. Gomm arrived at Delhi on the 4th of March. The Indian Government have decided on nominating an officer to conduct the prosecution of Jotee Penshand. The trial, which is again postponed, will be a monster one—the list of witnesses consider ably exceeding 200, and including a large number of officers of high standing scattered over the whole ex tent of India. Nothing farther has transpired regarding the North-Western Bank frauds, but an' order prohibit ing military officers from taking any share whatever in the management of joint-stock companies is said to be about to be promulgated by order of the Court of Directors. From Nepaul there are accounts of Jung Baha dore's having narrowly escaped from a plot laid by some of his relations and rivals in the Durbar for his assassination. The Nizam lately appointed an obscure person, one Gunneesh Row, as Minister, but the Resident having objected to the nomination on the score of his incompetency the appointment was cancelled. The ship Buckinghamshire - has been burnt at Calcutta, it is supposed by her Lascar crew. Peci Ibrahim Sahib Bahadur, the British agent at Bahawutpore, where he did good service during the Moultan campaign, is now at Bombay, on his way to Europe and the Great Exhibition, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company have advertised an additional steamboat for the conveyance of those proceeding from India to England on that occasion. CHINA. The Advices from China are to the 27th of February.

He has been sufficiently identified, and is now in goal, awaiting his trial next month. " Pirates still abound in the neighbourhood, interfer ing greatly with the native trad e.

The Constitutionnel has the following important observations on the fortifications of Cherbourg : " We cannot defer any longer the execution of the works at Cherbourg, situated as it is at the entrance of the channel, and only 25 leagues distant from the English coast. In the time of Vauban it was called the hostelry of the Channel, because it was the only refuge open to vessels against the north-west winds, so preva lent in that quarter. The Emperor used to say that Cherbourg was an eye to see and an arm to strike. All the Governments which have succeeded each other since 'B9 to the present time—the Revolution, the Empire, the Restoration, and the Government of July, have made it a point of honour to continue this remarkable enterprise ; and the sums hitherto expended have amounted to 151 millions. Thanks to the works now ex ecuted the harbour is good and sure, offering safe refuge to vessels of every size; and lately our squadron was seen, anchored, behind the breakwater, to brave the most violent tempest without damage. At present, that by great patience, labour, and expense, we have been able to make the harbour so excellent a one—the essen tial is to defend and keep it. If Cherbourg is in a stragetic point of the very highest importance, it is also the most exposed point of the whole coast. In the pre sent state of things, steamers from Portsmouth can reach Cherbourg in eight hours; and, from the little island of Alderney, only three hours are necessary for them to anchor in the roadstead, and they cannot be prevented from passing the breakwater, fixing themselves before the arsenal, and burning it. Would it not be the height of imprudence to allow the place to remain exposed to such an eventuality? The question being laid down in such imperious terms, it is easy to conceive that the credit demanded for the defence of the harbour of Cher bourg could not meet with any opposition. What ever reserve the condition of our finances ought to impose on us, we could not hesitate. In case of war, a great catastrophe, like the destruction and burning the works of Cherbourg. ought not, at the com mencement of hostilities, to afflict and humiliate the country; consequently the Bill was adopted. With the six millions now voted, Cherbourg will be pieced in a complete state of defence on the seaward side. Four ports, three of which belong to the breakwater, will pro tect the port, and when those works shall have been finished, an enemy rash enough to enter the harbour would probably not be lucky enough to get out again. The whole of the defensive works of Cherbourg aro to comprehend, independently of the fortifications in the sea, a series of forts on the heights above the town; but those last-named works are of a less urgent character, and it has been considered that they may be adjourned without danger. It has also been thought that as Cher bourg ought to be some day or other in communication with the capital by a railway, the facility to transport there in a few hours forces and stores, might render un necessary part of the works designed by military en gineers. The question of the land works consequently has been reserved." Two reports were presented to the Assembly last year on the Paris and Avignon Railway Bill. One of them gave rise to a very important discussion : the Assembly decided that the railway should not be exe cuted by the State, and that it should be conceded to two distinct and independent companies. Three days ago the Minister of Finance presented a Bill for the direct concession to a company of the Paris and Lyons Railway. The following are the principal conditions of the Cahier des Charges of the Ministerial project which was yesterday distributed to the Assembly : " The duration of the concession fixed at 99 years, as in the preceding projects, and the guarantee of interest reduced to four per cent. during 50 years, are compen sated for by the important obligations imposed on the company. It takes on itselt in the first place to terminate at it: charge, risk, and peril, the whole of the railway comprising the passage through Lyons as far as Perrache; to take on itself half of the expense of the construction of the terminus which is to be formed in that Peninsula, and to construct at Vaise, entirely at its expense, a station for goods and passen gers. Independently of these expenses, which are esti mated at from 80 to 90 millions, tLe company engages to reimburse to the state on the works executed the sum of 100 millions of francs. A material alteration has been introduced in the periods of payment: 20 millions are to be lodged in the Treasury before taking possession; 22 millions before the end of next year, and the burpius in ten annuities, by means of negotiable bonds, bearing in terest at 4 per cent. Except with a reserve, stipulated for in Article 3of the Cabier des Charges, and which was necessary to guarantee the Paris and Lyons Rail way against the disastrous effects of an anticipated com petition, the interests of the Centre are fully protected, and the Government preserves full liberty for the conces sion of the prolongation of tho line from Moulins to Roanne." The Journal des Dibats announces its intention to give the Ministry a fair trial in the following con temptuous terms : "The new Ministry received at the day of its birth nearly as many names as we sometimes find given at the baptism of princes of the blood. It has been called a Ministry of provocation, a Ministry of defiance, a Ministry of coups d'etat, a Ministry of exclusion, an impossible Ministry. For our part, who involuntarily contributed to this nomenclature by calling it a decapi tated Ministry, we felt a kind of remorse in not having given it a more gracious welcome, when it had not itself yet done anything, but we are tranquillised in now seeing ourselves ranged among its supporters and its friends. The truth is, that with regard to this Ministry we feel our conscience equally free from either good or bad feelings; it is impossible for us to be impassioned either for or against it. It is possible that it may not have strength enough to save the country, but neither do we think that it has strength enough to sacrifice it; and with the best inclination in the world to be animated or to be serious, we cannot ace in any one particular member of the new Cabinet what may be called a fatal man. All alarm appears to us out of season and out of season, and we think that in sounding the tocsin for no thing, there may be a risk of its not being attended to when sounded for someting." The Lyons journals state that the approach of the period for collecting the silk crop has caused a decline of 5 to 6 per cent. in the price of silk, and a decline of from 12 to 15 per cent. is shortly expected. Not -1 withstanding this, manufacturers are without orders, and the machines are unemployed. The last letters received at Lyons from America state that the sales by auction continued, and paralysed all other sales. The market was incumbered with plain silks, an ar ticle which forms the principal part of American pur chases in Lyons. The spring sales in Lyons have been nearly concludedin the wholesale houses, and they h ave generally been inferior by a third to those of pre ce di ng years. On the whole, the ma nufactur ing and com mercial situation is unfavourable, and disquietude is improvement.

DISPOSAL OF HIRAM SMITH, THE APPROVER.—This man, who was the associate of the two criminals who wero executed yesterday morning, in the murder and robbery at Frimley, also several burglaries in Sussex and Surrey, has been since the trial confined among the pri soners for remand, and through them he gleaned infor mation when the former would undergo the sentence of the law. On Monday night he was very restless in his bed, and several times exclaimed to his fellow-prisoner, " I did not shoot him; I hope they will confess." It appears that he had heard from some who have recently entered the gaol, that the public and the authorities sus pected that he was the party who shot the Rev. Mr. Hol iest. He iemained in a state of great agitation yester day, and in the evening he was visited by the Governor of the gaol, and some of the authorities, when it was announced to him that Harwood had confessed to shoot ing the reverend gentleman, and had asserted that his (Smith's) evidence was all true, and that Mrs. Holiest was mistaken. He was also told that Jones made the latter observation a few minutes prior to his leaving this world. The prisoner seemed very much relieved at re ceiving the information, and declared that he never in tended anything but to speak the truth. He hoped after that that the Government would pardon him , and g ive him the reward offered. No allusion was made to the latter by the authorities, and the prisoner was left to his meditation among his fellow-prisoners. He will, how ever, be detained in Horsemonger-lane Gaol until the Surrey Summer assizes, when he will be arraigned cn the coroner's inquisition; but it is probable that the Govern ment will not offer any evidence against him respecting 1 the Frimley tragedy. Ho will be tri ed for a burglary It. Farnham, in the same county, as sufficient evidence w i ll with a recent Li soon be adduced to prove his connexion robbery, then in company with Samuel Harwood and the parties who were executed. Ho is also thereforeconnecte h he will not d wit them in the burglaries in Sussex; escape meeting with a severe pu nishment for his offences. FALL or A SEWER.—Between 4 and 5 o'clock last evening, considerable alarm was created in the Westminster.. road, owing to an immense mass of earth having given way in Mount-gardens, a paved passage leading from the main street to Philadelphia• terrace, and forming a nearly parallel line with the South -Western Railway, which here traverses I Carlisle-lane. In the first instance the most exaggerated reports were circulated as to the probable loss of human life, as it was supposed that several excavators were buried beneath the soil. Happily, however, the accident, though quite serious enough to call for searching inquiry by the Commissioners of Sewers, has not been productive of any ittlioht.eoanlseoreinls;aant..
