The Revenue Returns for the financial year and siiaarter ending the sth of April instant are of a very satisfactory character, not only realising the most sanguine anticipations that had been entertained re specting the national prosperity, but affording the most conclusive ev id ence of the exped i ency o f the fisoal alterations that have been carried into operation within the last five years, and completely rebutting the assertions; have been so recklessly hazarded as to the injurious results of the legislative adoption of free-trade principles. They exhibit the wonderful elasticity of our national resources is the strongest point of view, and should (were such a thing possible) bring a blush of shame into the countenance of Sir CliAßLai WOOD for the scanty and limited conces sions he is disposed to make even in the now edition of his " precious Budget." They show i l ear ly how much he might have done, and the pal pable omission to avail himself of the gold en oppor tunity is thus rendered more painfully conspicuous. The accuracy of the financial parad ox th at 2 and 2 tio not amount to 4 - in matters of taxation has long The present retur ns prove the been acknowledged. converse of the propo sl 'in n ' •'and show that the prin ciple' traction as well as to is appli ca bl e to fiscal subtraction fiscal addition ; and that if 2 be taken from 2 in mat ters of taxati on , the ha l 3nc e Fill be much more than 2 ; or, in other words that will not b y an y means t h a t the reduction by one half of an existing impostow of anything' casion a l oss like a moiety of the revenue previously derived therefrom. Sir ;CRAALBS WOOD, however, disregards these unquestionable facts —h e s till blunders on blindly in the old tracks. What to him are the Lights derived feil"). experience? He looks on t hem merely ‘ as " will.-the-wisps" that must carefully be avoided' He will not be deceived by such phantasms. If he fimud it the fashion that horses should draw p(oughs by their tails he would never assent to the introducttoe of " unnecessary harness." Indeed we do not know that he might not consider it a piece of reckless audacity to sanction such a modification of the existing syatein,—whether he would not, with a self-sataiged smirk and an air of conscious superiority, ask the advocates for change, what were horses sup plied with tails for, if ploughs were not to be fastened thereto ? Notwithstanding the large diminution of taxa- Ron daring the past year, we still find that there is a considerable increase in the ordi aary and extraordinary revenue both for the year and the quarter, the improvement on the former being 4 0,1191., and on the latter 283,051/. Nor will the jatifieation that must follow this satisfactory intern rene• be in any degree diminished by investigating The genres/ from which the amelioration is derived. In the Castoras we find an improvement of 1 9) 3 ,1 1 . on the year, and of 115,682/, on the quarter. This would be very satisfactory if matters had remained in statu quo ; but when we consider that a large reduction in the sugar duties took place only nine months since, a reduction which, it was estimated, would occasion a loss to the revenue amounting to more than 330,0001. per annum, the result may be looked upon as truly astonishing, being equivalent to an improvement of nearly half a million sterling on that branch of the revenue, and that on a very favourable quarter, which exhibited a marked improvement on the corresponding quarters of the five preceding years. In the Excise'. we might have looked for a percep tible falling off, when we consider that the duty on bricks was totally abolished. The actual state of affairs, however, shows a considerable increase both on the year and quarter, that on the former being 332,3111., and on the latter 121,0631. The abolished impost was calculated to produce more than 450,000/. a year. It will, therefore, be seen that the index which points out the amount of comforts enjoyed by the working classes—and we may, perhaps, add the amount of native productions—is steadily pointing to "set fair." The Stamp returns are scarcely less satisfactory. It will be in the recollection of our readers that Sir CHARLES WOOD took credit for a considerable reduc tion of; revenue that would, he declared, arise from the more equitable adjustment of the changes in cer tain branches, amounting altogether to more than half a miilion per annum. At the time we denounced this statement as a discreditable " dodge," and de c ared that the new scale of duties would be fully as productive to the Exchequer as those previously in operation. This assertion is completely verified by the fact that "there is a small improvement on the quarter of 9,8831. There is, undoubtedly, a loss on the year under this head of 248,9051., but less than one-sixth of that amount has occurred since the change, while five-sixths occurred before the change in the law. The Assessed Taxes show the only falling off in any important item on the quarter, there being 9,4471. less produced than in the corresponding quarter of last year. This may, however, be satisfactorily accounted fur by the fact that there was an increase on the last quarter of 25,292/., so that it may be considered that the falling off is ascribable to greater punctuality of payment by the parties liable. On the year there is an improvemen" of 17,752/. The Property-tax appears differently. There the improvement is on the quarter, to the extent of 20,342/., while the deficiency on the year is no less than 62,8691. We trust that the firm and unyielding determination of the community to adjust equitably this iniquitous impost will render the returns more correct in this branch than they have heretofore been. The Post-office shows an improvement on the year and quarter of 58,0001. and 41,0001. respectively. The Crown lands remain without the slightest alteration of any kind in either period, while in the Miscellaneous there is a de crease of 45,8441. on the year, and of 25,986/ on the quarter. In the extraordinary branches of revenue there is a decrease on the year and quarter of 5,4021. and 39,9941., while there is an increase of Repayments of Advances of 205,7771. on the year, and 50,508/. on the quarter. On the whole, we congratulate our readers on the most favourable balance-sheet which we have witnessed for many years, and which affords the most auspicious auguries as to the future pros perity of the country. Elsewhere in our impression of this evening we pub lish a letter addressed to ourselves by the heroic defen der of Komorn, that illustrious General whose name and fame were the other day'so indecorously dragged upon the carpet by Lord LYNDHURST. Having in The Sun of the day following expressed our earnest indignation at the course pursued towards this dis tinguished leader of the Hungarians by the Noble Lord, we can only reiterate upon the matter those sentiments which we have already articulated. It will be seen from the statement made by General Keers„a himself, that during the last twelve months he has resided on the continent, and he might, therefore, have reasonably calculated upon being sheltered from the calumnious accusations actually levelled against him by an ex-Chancellor in the Upper House of the British Parliament. Even those foreigners who are compelled by adversity to seek refuge under the shadow of our Constitution should be screened by their very misfortunes from the das tardly influences of misrepresentation. Much more should such as are sojourning in exile else where than within the boundaries of the United Kingdom be protected by the circum stances of their position from the malignity of attacks, the cruelty of which is enhanced by their being directed against the fallen and the banished. Magnanimity towards a foe, however, happens to be of all the virtues, the one least appreciated, and consequently the least practised by the supporters of the cause of Absolutism. Any one who ventures to degenerate into an apologist of the Austrian regime is doomed in the end to acquire all those petty peculiarities which have] long cha racterised the adherents of the Viennese Government, and which would appear unfortunately to be so peculiarly infectious even among their agents in the remotest parts of Christendom. Hence it has come to pass that a Noble Lord in the British House of Peers has so far become influenced by the evil tendency of the interests intrusted to his advocacy as to forget the consideration that should otherwise be shown to every political unfortunate by citizens in this free realm of England. Without pausing to in quire into the accuracy or inaccuracy of the in formation afforded to him by the individuals under taking to " cram" him with facts and figures, Lord LYNDHURST, it will be observed, ventured loudly to impugn the conduct of General KLAPKA as unworthy of one permitted to shelter himself, in an evil day, under the eagis of our liberal institutions— this accusation, remember, being made at a time when the individual calumniated is sojourning not in Eng land, but on the Continent, not having resided in this country for a period of twelve months, and refraining scrupulously from an interference with the course of events such as was here imputed to him by an English Peer and ex-Chancellor. The glaring injustice of the charge, we trust, will induce Lord LYNDHURST to make the only reparation in his power, namely, a public acknowledgment of it in the Upper House of the Imperial Parliament. Until this has been done, he will remain in the invidious position of one who has wronged an unfortunate hero in the hour of cala mity, when secluding himself (away from the possi bility of harming the repute of England as the home of the refugees of Europe) in that retirement which is alone capable of assuaging the pangs of exile and the recollections of disappointed patriotism. Among all the valiant men and true, who drew their swords in defence of the fatherland of the Hungarians, not one was more deserving, one might reasonably have imagined, of consideration than the brave and dauntless captain who kept the national colours still flying on the battlements of Komorn, when the gon falon of the great army had gone down on the timorous submission of GORGEY to PASIEEWITCH. Yet he alone is selected, it would seem, for those gratuitous misstatements, which are the more shame less as directed against the fallen champion of a fallen a c t au p se re ; se o n r t , at u a n n d y er ra t t he rate, against the of thec a ham tr p iu i m on p o h f an a t cause des potism. Such infamous traitors as C- I ,..ORGEY are to be treated with all imaginable courtesy, forsooth, and patriots like lieerxe are to be the targets for the en venomed arrows of slander, arrows winged with hatred, and directed against them by passion. Hap pily fur the objects of attacks of this character, their unblemished reputation is the truest shield from injury, the weapons of calumny falling before it harmless and blunted. Hence it will be perceived that the denial put forward by General KLAPILA in our columns displays none of that petulant irritation wbich would be inconsistent with the valour and purity of his conduct, not merely during the time when he was fighting gloriously under the rule of the immortal Kossuiw, but since that period of great achieveraents, since the massacre in cold blood of so many of his brothers in arms and the dispersion of so many others of habitable globe. L e t hi m remem b er thi s , however, in his compatriots over th e face of the the midst of all these calumnies and misrepresenta tions, that he retains the warmest admiration of all the lovers of liberty even in the seclusion of his exile, and the most cordial sympathy o f that English people who have learned to love as well as to respect the Hungarians. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturilay and of yesterday. In the Legislative Assembly yesterday, M. YVAN, a member of the Mountain, was elected one of the Secretaries. General BEDEAr has addressed a long letter to the journals exonerating himself from the charges brought against him in the recently published letter by the late Marshal BUGEAUD on the subject of his conduct on the 24th Feb., 1848. " Some conferences (says the Assemblie Nationale) were held yesterday morning at the palace of the Elys6e. Amongst the persons present was M. 0. Barrot." In the course of an article on the state of parties, which appears in the Presse, M. EMILE DE GIRAR• DIN thus describes the situation of his quondam pro teg 6, M. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE : The situation of M. L. N. Bonaparte is at present that of a man employed on a railway, deaf and presump tuous, uselessly warned, and perceiving, when too late, that he is caught and about to be ground to nothing be tween two trains rushing from opposite directions." It is said that M. DE FALLoux, who is acting in complicity with the Emperor of AUSTRIA, is endea vouring to bring about a transaction between Louis NAPOLEON and the Count DE CHAMBORD. MM. GUIZOT and MOLE are, it is said, in the plot. A letter from Algiers, of the 30th ult., says : " A rather serious affair has just taken place in the Oued Sahel. A new chief, known under the name of Box BAGHELA, having assembled a body of men from among the Zaouaouas, the Tolbas, and the other unsubmitting tribes on the southern slopes of the Djurjura, attacked on the 19th the Zaonia of Chel late, and carried off 3,000 sheep and 300 oxen from our chief Sr BEN ALI Cinair. The latter, betrayed by his people, was obliged to fly alone, and take refuge in the camp of the Goum of observation, under the orders of Lieutenant BEAUPRETRIL This success of the Cherif is likely to have a disastrous influence on our tribes, already acted on by intrigues. In order to prevent any insurrectional movement, a small column, under the order of the colonel-commandant of the sub -division of Aumali, established itself among the Beni Mancours, and immediately commenced constructing a house of command fer BEN ALI CHERIF. The last accounts from Aumali, dated the 27th, announce that the tribes which had abandoned the young Marabout, on the attack of the 19th, had just repulsed the Cherif Box BAGHBLA, who, after a combat which cost him 10 of his men, fled, and took refuge among the Mzeldjas."

Accounts from Dresden of the Ist state that in de ference to the representations of the English and French Ministers, Austria has renounced her claim to enter into the Confederation with all her states, and the resumption of the sittings of the Frankfort Diet may be expected. The Governments of Saxe-Meiningen, Altenburg, Coburg, Gota, Weimar, Reuss, Frankfort, Bremen, Lubeck, and Baden, have notified their intention of acceding to the Frankfurt Diet. It was thought that Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, Wurtemberg, and Electoral Hesse, would oppose the plan. Count Taires recal to Vienna is considered as the commencement of an Austrian protest. Accounts from Vienna of the 3d state that the dif ferences between Austria and Prussia are differences of principle, inasmuch as Austria insists on Germany being governed despotically, while Prussia is opposed to Absolutism. The King of GREECE has arrived at Hanover. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Copenhagen journals of the 21 ult. publish the propositions which will be submitted to the Assembly of Notables. . _ _ They declare the integrity of the Danish Monar chy under the game Government representation—fleet and flag. The case of Lauenberg, however, is reserved for future consideration. The Duchies of Holstein and Lauenberg will re main part of the Germanic Confederation. They will have their own Diets ; in all State ques tions they will be represented in the Council. The Duchy of Schleswig will have its separate Dist and Administration. Certain institutions will belong to the two Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. SWITZERLAND. The Debats publishes the following from Berne, Ist April :—" A great part of the French refugees who resided in the Canton of Vaud are now here. They came to petition the Federal Government to withdraw its decree of the 27th ult., which ordered them to quit Switzerland, but their request has not been attended to. Some difficulties have, however, arisen as to the direction to be given to these refugees, iu order to shelter them from all the inconveniencies caused by their position as regards the countries adjoining Switzerland, which refuse them a passage. Negotiations have consequently been entered into for sending them by the Rhine to Belgium, from whence they will proceed to England." BOSNIA: Letters from Imoschi of the 17th ult., in the Osserratore Dalmata, announce the arrival of SZE24.• DERREG, the Kaimakan of Mostar, at Possussie, with 1,600 men of regular troops, besides some cavalry and artillery. There are also 400 men of irregular troops there, commanded by PAIIIIT, one of the rebel chiefs of Herzgovine, who has made his submission, and been pardoned by the SEnASKIEE. This force is to join the army of the latter, which is 'to operate in Bosnia. A rumour was current at Sign, on the 20th ult., that ARAP PASHA had gained a great victory over the insurgents at Jajce. ITALY. On the 30th ult. the Duke DE BORDEAUX, the In fante Don JoaN of Spain, Count LUCHESI PALLI, M. DR FALLOUX, and Marshal MARMONT, dined with the Emperor of AUSTRIA at Venice. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa quotes a litter from Bologna of the 27th ult., stating that the mother and brothers of the bandit-chief IL PASSATORE have not recognised his features in the dead body which has been paraded about as his; whence it would ap pear that " the real Simon Pure" has not been caught after all. GREECE. ATHENA, MARCH 24.—A telegraphic dispatch of this day says :—" The Government, which has re cently met with several defeats, has dissolved the Chambers." TURKEY. SMYRNA, MARCH 21.—The island of Samos is completely pacified. EGYPT. A letter from Marseilles of the Ist instant an nounces the receipt of intelligence from Egypt (no date given) of a serious revolt at Senaar, in which the PACHA and the Egytian troops have all been mas sacred. Preparations were making at Cairo to dis patch troops to the scene of tumult. THE KAFIR WAR. We have received Cape Town papers of the 10th of February, being two days later than the last ad vices. _ .-- The only intelligence of importance contained in these papers is the announcement of the reli e f o f Forts Cox and White, which had been effected by the column commanded by Colonel Mackinnon. Just before the post left Graham's Town, an ex , press arrived from General Somerset, stating that a combined attack on Fort Beaufort was expected the following morning. The following is from the Zuid Afrikaan of Feb ruary the 10th : nou" nc e The s t i h n e t e r l l e i e e f n c o e f v b y o r t yesterday's es Coster d a a n y d ' sfrontier T p h o e s t m o a d n e in which this was effected will be learned from the following:— "`GENERAL ORDERS.

" Sir,—l have the honour to report, that at day break, on the morning of the 30th January, I proceeded from this station with a force, consisting of 300 men 73d Regiment, 150 men Cape Mounted Rifles, 1,400 Hot tentot levies, 300 Fingoes, and one six-pounder—in all 2,200 men—for the purpose of throwing supplies into Forts White and Cox. " About eight miles from this place a considerable number of Kafirs attacked our rear-guard, consisting of a troop of Cape Mounted Rifles and Genadendal, Al bany, and Riversdale levies. This attack was repulsed in a very spirited manner. Shortly afterwards large bodies of the enemy appeared on our left, evidently bent on contesting our march across the Debe Neck, Two shells directed with great precision by Major Wilmot, of the Royal Artillery, were thrown into the midst of a large group, and did great execution. No farther attempt was made to impede our march on that day, and considerable numbers of tho enemy were killed by the flanking parties of the levies and Cape Mounted Rifles. I arrived at Fort White about 2 o'clock P.M. On the 31st January I proceeded with the same force to Fort Cox, which I reached without any opposi tion. Whilst the troops were at the post a lorge body of Kafirs appeared upon the brow of the hill which over looked the Keiskamma, on the road to Fort Hare, ap parently in the expectation that we intended proceeding to that post. Two shells were again accurately directed by Major Wilmot, and caused them considerable loss. " After supplying Fort Cox, I returned without molestation to Fort White, and this day to King Wil liam's Town. I found the garrisons of Forts White and Cox in good health and spirits. These posts are now supplied for six weeks each, and I have removed from them all the men who are not absolutely necessary for their defence. " ' I have the satisfaction of reporting to your Excel lency my sense of the efficient conduct of every corps, regular and provisional, who were engaged in this service. " I have, &c., (Signed) " • GEo. MACKINNON, COI.'" CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. The April sessions of the Central Criminal Court were opened this morning in the Old Court, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman Carter, and Sheriffs Carden and Hodgkinson, attended by the Under-Sheriff and other civic functionaries. The calendar contains the names of 225 prisoners. The grand jury having been sworn and empanelled, The RECOILDER proceeded to charge them as follows. He was happy to say the calendar which they were about to inquire into was not very heavy in the charac ter of the offences, but he was sorry to say the cases were more than usually,numerous. There was, however, only one case of murder, and that was one of those pain ful cases that occur so frequently, namely, the murder of a child by its mother, and the question which the grand jury would have to decide was whether or no there was sufficient proof that the child was born alive. If it was, why then of course they would have to find a true bill accordingly. There was one ether case involving the destruction of human life, but this case assumed more the aspect of manslaughter than murder. It was the case of a child who had been put out to nurse, and who had died, as it was alleged, from the ill-usage of the nurse. If they found that the death really did result from her violence or neglect, it would be their duty to return a true bill for man slaughter. There were three cases of unnatural crimes, and a case of forgery, in which there was this remark able circumstance. The name fixed was stated to be fictitious. Now it was equally a forgery to sign the name of a fictions as a real person, for the purposes of fraud; but if inthis case it should turn out that there was such a person as that mentioned in the forged in strument, and that it was issued with his consent, why of course there would be an end of the case of forgery. These were the only cases that called for any comment from him, and therefore, without detaining them further, he would at once dismiss them to the discharge of their important functions. The grand jury then retired. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) ALLEGED MANsLauGicrza.—James Goman, a young man in the employ of Mr. Florin, Jermyn-street, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with having caused the death of Julia Foley, a child eleven years of age, by driving over her with a horse and cart. _ _ . Police-constable 180 C deposed that on Saturday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, he was on duty in Cran bourn-street, when he heard a cry of " Stop thief," and on turning round saw a horse and van proceeding along Castle street, followed by several people. The prisoner and six others were in the van, and the former was driving at aly,ut six miles an hour. Witness inquired of the people what was the matter, when he was informed that the prisoner had run over a child in Newport•market, Witness imme diately stopped the prisoner, and told him that he had driven over a child, and that he must go back with him to New port-market. The prisoner said he was not aware he had done anything wrong, or that he had driven over any one. On arriving at Newport-market witness found the child at the shop of a druggist, who directed wit ness to take her to Charing-cross Hospital. He procured a cab and conveyed her there, and she died within a few hours after her admission. Hannah Foley said en Saturday night she and her sister were standing near her father's stall in Newport•market, when she saw a van, which was driven by the prisoner, coming at a quick rate towards them, and before her sister could get out of the road the first wheel of the van caught her on the shoulder, and knocked her down, and the other wheel passed over her body. A cry was raised, but the prisoner drove on as fast as he could. She and several others gave the alarm, and pursued him until he was stopped by the constable. The prisoner expressed his sorrow for what had occurred, but could assure his Worship that it was purely accidental. The reason he did not stop was because the noise made by the people calling after him made his horse, a spirited one, very restive, and it was as much as he could do to keep the horse from bolting. Mr. BINGZAI4 said he should leave it to the coroner's jury to decide whether it was a case of accident or man slaughter, and remanded the prisoner for a week, but agreed to accept two sureties in 401. each for the prisoner's appear. ance. The defendant's master tendered himself for the full amount, and was accepted. rptrti Utittiort NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) The Craven Stakes.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were esti mated at 4,000 hales, of which 500 American were taken on speculation. The sales comprised 2,500 American • 150 Bahia, at 7:M. to C. ; 150 Egyptian, at 8 1 4 d. to 9 1 / 2 (1. ; 1,000 Surat, at 4d. to 5 1 ,4. ; and 40 Sea Island, at Is. 14d. to Is. Bd. per lb.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done, at rather lower prices. The Grain Market is firm to-day. Tne New York advices, per steamer Asia, notice a de pressed market for public securities. '1 he Asia brings half a million of dollars in specie, the rates of exchange ruling sufficiently high to make shipments of bullion profitable. There was only a moderate demand for bills on London, but drawers were firm at 10 to ICN per cent. premium. The following statement would convey rather an unfavourable impression : " There has been no improvement in the Money Market, but, on the contrary, a daily increasing stringency. The banks have largely contracted their discount lines, and busi ness paper is rapidly increasing among the note shavers. There is no let up to the drain of specie, and large ship ments continue to be made both to the South and to Europe. The supply of gold and gold dust from California is not equal to the foreign export. The Ohio and Crescent City brought le's than one million of dollars, and the probability is, that for some time to come our semi-monthly receipts will not ex ceed half a million of dollars. In the event of the foreign demand for our specie continuing, we shall lose a large amount before the lapse of many weeks, and our banks will be corn pelted not only to continue the contraction commenced, but to increase it, and reduce their loans to a lower point than has been known for many months. There appears to be a great want of confidence in financial and commercial circles, and it is more likely to extend than to decrease. The commercial classes are, at present, consider ably embarrassed in their money matters. The mouth of March is usually a very tight month, and this year, thus far, has by no means been an exception. This stringency may not terminate as soon as anticipated. Public and private credits have become very much expanded, and it is our impression that there are, at this moment, a greater number of mercantile houses in this city in a state of bank ruptcy, and upon the eve of suspension, than is generally imagined. It, however, by no means follows that any im mediate failures will take place, 1)r our merchants have the faculty of continuing along for years, hopelessly insolvent, without their creditors having the first suspicion of it. The failures which have occurred recently here illustrate this fact pretty clearly, and it is impossible to tell who are sound and who are not. The course pursued during the past two or three years by houses in this city must lead ultimately to a great deal of difficulty and financial embarrassment, and it is well that a check has been put thus early upon the money market, an opportunity given to reduce commercial liabilities, and the public allowed a little breathing time." The Welland Canal was to be fully opened for navigation on the 26th ult. The Cotton crop was expected to exceed that of 1849 and 185 , E nearly 2 0,000 bales, and the ph(' ting season was never more favourable. A greater breadth of ground would be put in cotton this year, it is said, than ever before known. The news oomes to band by this opportunity of a great battle between the armies of the Republics of San Salvador and Guatemala, and in which the President of the former was completely defeated. The Guatemala dates are to Feb. 10. Carthagena advices, of Feb. 23, mention that the Legisla ture of the State, for 1851, had before it the project of an amended political code for New Grenada. The advices from Canada state that the weather in the eastern provinces was very mild, and that the snow was fast melting away. The easterly winds at Quebec had been so strong, as to produce the highest tide known there for twenty years ; great damage had been done. Judgment was to be given, in a few days, in the tariff question. We observe it stated that a Kingston house had just landed no less than 112 packages of dry goods at New York, to be ready for the spring trade. "We preseme," says a local writer, " they will be carried by railroad to their destination, as it is probable that by the canals they would not be re ceived earlier than by the St. Lawrence. This shows how much we require railroads through our own territory; we will no longer be content to wait for the operations of nature to fres us frcm our bonds, but we must make means of communication for ourselves, open at all seasons. Had we them through our own territory, we would use them in pre ference to those of our n , ighbours ; but we are compelled to undergo all the inconvenience and expense of drawbacks, bondings, and transhipments. This may continue for some time, but not for ever." The Funds are very steady this morning, and there is an improvement of about per Cent. in the quotations. Con sols have realised 96% 3 % for Transfer, and 96 3 / 1 f. ir Thurs day. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 97', 34, and the Three per Cents. 95% to 96. Ex chequer-bills have been 565. to 58s. prem. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have, by the Asia, received advices from Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico, 15th February last. The acceptance of the decree of the 14th October by the bondholders had only been received there on the Bth February, and as Mr. Esteva, if he should finally decide to accept the Ministry of Finance, would not enter on the office till the 17th February, Mr. Falconnet, at the date of his letter, had not of course as yet received a reply to the formal notice, which he had addressed to Mr. Huice, provisionally charged with the direction of the department Of finance, that the decree was accepted, and that he uas ready to receive the 2,500,000 dollars coming to the bondholders out of the American indemnity money. Mr. Falconnet expresses regret that the decree bad been accepted in London, thinking that he might have done better in Mexico, but he has no doubt that the Mexican Go vernment will carry out the arrangement entered into in good faith. The Foreign Market has continued very dull. and the quotations are rather fiat. Mexican Bonds have realised 334 %, Equidor are 3 3 ,y, and Brazilian 88%. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 21%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 58 3 4, and Russian Four-and-a- Half per Cents. 98%. The Railway Share Market is flatter, and prices rule in favour of buyers. The following is an extract from a letter received from lir. C. Pons, the secretary, in London, of the Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux : The works on the second section of the lines between Tours and Poitiers are progressing with extraordinary rapidity. The line is ballasted the whole distance, 100 kilometres (62% miles), the permanent way is laid over nearly one-half the distance, and the material for the re mainder is in course of delivery. The additional locomotive and carrying stock is far advanced in construction, and a con siderable portion is already delivered to the comps' y. Every effort is making to open this section to the public on the Ist July next ; so that the railway year may begin with 215 kilometres (nearly 135 miles) at full work. The traffic on this section will be very considerable, while neither the first cost nor the general expenditure will be, relatively, as heavy as on the first section. The accounts for the last halt year, ending 31st December, 1850, show a net profit (after payment of the working and general expenses, and the half year's interest on 17.5 f. called up) of 638,706 f. ap plicable to a dividend. Taking the result of the current half-year, ending 30th June next, to be equal to the last, and it will be at least as productive, the probable net profit on the whole year will be equal to four per cent. on the 200 f. now paid up, or eight francs per share, only one-half of which is allowed by the statutes to be distributed in the present stage of the company's progress towards Bordeaux."

SAPID THE SINGER.-SAD REVERSE OF FOR TUNE.—AII playgoers of twenty years' standing must have a perfect recollection of Mr. Sapio, who for many seasons was the primo tenore at Covent-garden, and who as Sir Huon in Weber's Oberon was perhaps the best representative of that character who has ever appeared. Some few years since Mr. Sapio retired from the stage, and for a while practised as a teacher of music. Shortly after this he had the misfor tune almost entirely to lose his ♦oice, and with it of course his means of subsistence. Hence this great tenor is now living in a state of complete destitution in a garret at No. 43, Queen-street, Edgeware.road. A VESSEL BURNT AT SEA.—On the night of the 30th ult. the crew of the True Blue fishing smack, of Rams gate, while pursuing their vocation off the Spurn-bead, ob served. between eleven and twelve o'clock, a strong light in the E.N.E. quarter. They immediately hauled up their nets, and on standing towards the burning ship they were hailed by a boat containing the master and seven seamen belonging to the vessel, whom they took on board. They then bore up for the wreck, which was off Flamborough-head, bearing W.N.W. about twenty-five miles, and remained alongside until seven A.m. the following day, when it went down stern foremost. The vessel was the Anna Maria, of Exeter, a brig of 300 tons burden, bound in ballast to the North for a cargo of coals, and the fire is supposed to have been occasioned by some cinders falling out of the fireplace in the cabin, through the heavy rolling of the vessel, while the men were engaged in reefing the topsail. The names of those saved are-.. James Here (master), Richard Prowse (mate), Hector WL. hams, Thomas Parker, David Owen, Henry Carter, an d Robert Owen (seamen), and Robert Jenkins (apprentice), who were landed safely at Hull. It is a singular tact that the True Blue succeeded about twelve months since in rescuing a schooner of the same name as the above (th e A nna Maria), together with the crew• CAUTION TO LODGING HOUSE KEEP ERL—Some of man, havingwho apartments the large number of foreigners which the "Great Exhibi tion" has brought to the metropolis, have been, during the last few days, victimising respectable parties in the follow to byt a t k o e ettwo areorthree applied rooms, as the case may be, and in lieu of giving a reference ing m a an w n e e l r l- : ; P es e s r e s d ons offers to pay three months' rent in advance. This is usually considered satisfactory, the rooms are let, and in the even ing, on the tenant's arriving, th e un f ortunate householder finds that his rooms a re to be tenanted by a host of di rty, hirsute foreigners, w h o smoke drink, quarrel, an d s i ng •• Vaterland " and th e " Alarseil l aise " the floors at night. I n a house at Pimlico, three rooms were taken, and seventeen lodgers arrived. In another case four rooms were taken, and thirty-three occupants filled them, who, however, departed on receiving back the rent they had paid, together with a bonus named by themselves, the obtaining of which is, no doubt, the object of these gregarious gentlemen. HER MAJELTT'S STATE BALLIL—It ill understood to be her Majesty's intention that state balls shall take place on Monday, the sth of May, and on Monday, the Inh of Ally, Mitt A cpuceit vu *min!, the 12t4 MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHAINGE.—(3IONDAY.) Our letters from the leading provincial markets, held on Saturday, state that a good business was transacted in Wheat, at. in most instances, an advance in the qnotations of is per quarter. Fine foreign Wheats were held for more money. Barley and Oats changed hands freely, and the currencies had an upward tendency. Very little was passing in other articles, if we except Flour, for which the inquiry was extensive. Advices from New York, to the 26th ult., represent the export trade in Flour as heavy. In Grain very little was doing. Holders of wheat in the continental ports continue firm ; but Flour is offering, in most of the French markets, at a decline of one franc per sack. Very moderate supplies of English grain was re ceived up to our market last week. From abroad the imports amounted to 11,386 quarters of Wheat, 6,342 Barley, 11,410 Oats, 15 'fares, 336 Linseed, 327 Rapeseed, 35 sundry etds, and 4,468 sacks of Flour. From Essex and Kent the receipts of Wheat fresh op to this morning's market, coastwise, were somewhat in excess of those reported on Monday last, and there was a decided improvement in tbo quality of most descrip tions. By land , carriage the arrrivals from Norfolk. Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, itc., were small. The show of samples being on the increase, and the attendance of both town and country buyers proving small, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was less active. Llowever, selected parcels sold at full rates of currency; but the middling and inferir parcels, though we cannot call them cheaper, were slow in sale. The offers from the East coast to ship Wheats were mostly too high to admit of speculation, hence very little business was transacted for future delivery. On the whole, the display of foreign Wheat samples, chiefly ex granary, was good, but the scarcity of good qualities, most of the late supplies having come from the westward, was complained of. Such, therefore, were held at extreme quotations. In the middling rind in• terior kinds only a limited business was doing, at late figures. Very few floating cargoes were on sale, the cargoes of most of the ships arriving at Falmouth having been disposed of. We had a fair quantity of light foreign Barley on show; but that of English was comparatively mall. Most kinds, especially malting parcels, moved off steadily► and full prices were paid in every instance. Malt, the supply of which was large, ruled dull, but we have no change to notice in its value. The French Oats were much out of condition, and the total supply of that grain, English as well as foreign, was small. The trade ruled steady, and, in some instances, prices were the turn in favour of sellers. There was a slight improvement in the demand fa both Beans and Peas—the receipts of which were mode' rate—and late rates were fairly supported. Indian Cora without attention, yet holders of floating cargoes were firm. The Flour trade was steady, at last week's quotation& The nominal top price of English was 40s per 28olb4• French Flour was offning in crest abundance. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The number of foreign Beasts and Sheep in to-day market was by no means large; but there was rather en eV tensive supply of large Hogs from France. Full averse time-of-year supplies of home-fed Beasts came fresh I° hand, in excellent condition. The favourable change k is the weather, together with the falling off in the qualla' ties of Meat on sale in Nowgate and Leadenhall, pr d duced rather more firmness in the Beef trade, and a goo clearance was effected, at prices fully equal to those eir tained on Monday last. The primest Scots sold at free* 3s 6d to 36 8d per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Esse s ' and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,400 Scots, Short' horns, &c. • from other parts of England, 600 of yarioe . breads; and from Scotland, 350 horned and polled Scots' With Sheep we were seasonably well, but not to el heavily, supplied.
