LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1850. Any occurrence so serious as the abrupt recall of the French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, must naturally give rise to all kinds of sinister re ports and to all sorts of dark and melancholy conjec tures. It is more than ever expedient, however, under such circumstances, that no precipitate opinion should be formed upon a matter involving the in terests of two great countries, and the general peace of Christendom. At all times it is manifestly ad visable for the multitude to reserve their judgment upon whatever international differences may arise through diplomatic correspondence, and this because of . the secrecy in which such correspondence must necessarily be, more or less, involved, and because consequently, until the publication of all the documents out of which the misunderstanding has originated, the people are obviously incompetent to arrive at any judicious or definitive conclusion. But especially is the postponement of public opinion, until such revelations have been made, advisable, when the evidences of annoyance on the part of any foreign power are displayed with an unusual degree of suddenness. Now such is precisely the position of affairs between the British Governmenl and the French Government under exist ing circumstances. M. Daouvre DE L'Hurs has been abruptly recalled by the Republican autho rity of which he was the delegated representative in the English capital. His recall, moreover, has been accompanied by such exceedingly partial disclosures of the correspondence which had taken place previ ously to this new rupture of the entente cordiale be tween the powers at Paris and London, as to impress upon us more than ever the necessity for that caution which common prudence assures us to be at this mce ment peculiarly requisite. Every individual has turned of course a close and scrutinizing attention to the events which, we may say within the last few hours, have recently transpired. All have acquainted themselves with occurrences by which the friendly alliance of France and England appears to be in a great measure jeopardized. To evince any apathy in proceedings which threaten to disturb the amicable relations hitherto maintained by this country with the powers of the European continent would be virtu ally to acknowledge an indifference to the interests of fatherland, to the cause of humanity, and to the peaceful advance of civilization. Such an in difference as this, an indifference •in the highest degree culpable, we do not believe to exist in any one section of the community, even among the most das tardly and insignificant. Hence we are persuaded, as already remarked, that the political incidents which have recently been observed in the British as well as in the French metropolis are uni versally known by this time throughout our intelligent population. Every, one is aware that after the most patient and protracted delays, England within the last few months intimated to the Athenian Cabinet her determination to see certain claims of hers attended to, which heretofore had been evaded by Greece with the most impertinent display of procrastination. Every one knows the result of that communication—a result which only manifested itself in the submission of 'Onto and his Minis terial advisers after a series of duplicities, con tradictions, and tergiversations which it ac tually required the awe of our naval supremacy to dissipate. Almost simultaneously with the receipt of the intelligence that the quarrel between Greece and England had been satisfactorily termi nated, arrives the information that a quarrel still more serious has, out of the very fact of that recon ciliation, sprung up between the French and the British Governments. M. DROUTN DE L'Hurs, the Ambassador, is recalled to Paris, from his diplomatic post at Loudon. General LAHITTE, the Minister of War, announces the fact of his recall from the tri bune of the Legislative Assembly. The announcement is received with a storm of acclamations from the so-called Republican representatives. Meanwhile inquiries as to the exact position of affairs are put to the Ministers of the Crown in England. Parliament listens with suspended breath and eager curiosity as the Lord President of the Council is catechised in the House of Peers, or again, as the First Lord of the Treasury is required in the Commons to give some sort of explanation, in the absence of his illus trious colleague her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secre tary. Mere shreds and patches of information are torn, bit by bit, from the Administrators and diplomatists, and thereupon, of course, the very most is made of these fragmentary intimations and acknow ledgements. The gobemeruches of the two great Ca pitals are yet gloating over such unexpected tidbits in the way of political gossip, when the more dictato rial guidnuncs are already rushing to a conclusion as to the merits of the respective powers, and already proneuncin g most authoritatively their applause of the one, and their peremptory condemnation of the other. After this, it is, of course, scarcely necessary to observe that these Quixotic pronuncia mentos consist of the most inflated panegyrics upon the course pursued by the reactionary Cabinet at Paris, and of the most rancourous vituperations upon the policy of one of the greatest statesmen in Europe, her MA.TicsTv's Foreign Secretary, Viscount PAL MERSTON. Against these . perverse and precipitate expres sions of opinion we protest with all our earnestness. "At least," we would say to these miserable apologists of reaction, " evince some decency in the delay of these paltry accusations and most wretched encomiums—encomiums upon a race' of men whose congenial meanness of temperament inspires you with a responiive sympathy—accusations against a states man whose innate nobility of disposition and generosity of principle elevate him immeasurably above the reach of your comprehension." Until such time as the docu ments constituting the correspondence , between the French and British Goverments shall be formally made etibliC, it must remain impossible for the- masses to form any accurate opinion as to the origin of the misunderstanding which has betrayed itself in the abrupt recall of the French Ambassador. That the publication of this correspondence will lead to the exculpation of Loid PALMERSTON, and to the dis . cornfiture of his assailants, we are fully satisfied. Meanwhile it may be expedient to bear one or two very significant facts in recollection. It may be as well to remember that a rupture with England and an allianCe with Russia would be most welcome to the political intriguers in, to restor e the ancient monarch France, monarchy are now w ti p g lot b t a in ok g 'the Bourbons to the throne across the Planche Na poleon' nienne. It may be as well to remember that these reactionaries have gradually insin ua t e d themselves into the councils of, 'the French PRESIDENT, and that they have gradually monopolized the majority of the . Legislative Assembly. It may be as well to remem ber that, according to the reactionist journals of Paris and of London, the announcement of the rup ture with this country was received with shouts of delight in the Assembly by "all but the Mount a i n. . And it . may be just as well to remember, that among those who are thus designated the "Mountain" ar e v i s ibl e such men as General CAVAIGNAC and his ass ociates ! Let us whisper a hi n t or two to the reflective:: —The continuance of amicable rela tions with England, necessitating, as it d oes, the continuance from Russia, is j us t now inconvenient reactionary gentlem en ! o t f o e stra ng ement the },renh These same intriguers owe a bitter grudge to Lord PALMIDISTON, because on the occasion ofthelast re volution he did no t e mulate the infamous policy of his predecessors, by interfering with the move toeuts of a free-people in the selection of their form of government, but stood serenely We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It is said by the Legitimatist Union, that Gene ral L AHITTE recalled the. French Ambassador from London without consulting the PRESIDENT of the Republic, 'who, on being informed, on his return from Fontainbleau, of what had taken place, ex pressed himself as dissatisfied and veied. General LAHITTE is a Legititnatist, and in this instance he has betrayed the PRESIDENT, in order to forward his Le A git m im e a ss t e is n t ge vi r wews.ass dispatched to St. Petersburgh yesterday, and orders were sent to the dockyards to fit out several ships of war and to make extraordi nary levies of seamen. General CAYAIGNAC and his friends opposed the motion for printing the papers on the Greek question. They are opposed to the rupture of the English alliance, as are all the friend s of liberty in France. The National says, that all the pretended suscepti• bility of General LAHITTE and the reactionaries on this subject is "got up" to cover an intrigue having in view two objects. First, to enable the Orleans party to gratify their revenge on Lord . PALMERSTON, P ossible, to substitute Tory for Whi g in England ; and, secondly, to break up the tutional country in Europe, in order to between France and the only • consti tutional Courts of Russia, and thus to establish a solidarity allia nce f 3j or i c dn e i sitfr h y er into an alliance with the Absolutist between the French Republic and the Monarchies of the Continent. . This is the true object of what the National calls " the comedy of honour," the prologu e of which was performed in the National Assembly on Thursday. The speech of General LAHITTE does not ap pear in the Maniteur of yesterday, and it was said it had been suppressed by order of the PRESI DENT of the Republic. General LAHITTE yesterday said in the Assembly that its suppression was a mistake, but that it should appear in a sup- , plement. - All the English in Paris have refused the invi tations whi ii ch they h a d rece i ved to attend the parties at the Elyse.

Hence the last trick of the Royalist Reactionaries. Hence that recall of the French Ambassador, which has involved the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON for the moment in a most perillous deception, and which has also provoked anew the hatred of a miserable faction against Viscount PALMERSTON. The Bill for the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland, and the establishment of a fourth Secre taryship of State, has at length bees brought for ward. Never were there more satisfactory reasons for any great change than those adduced by the Premier in the course of his very able and convinc • ing speech. He clearly and distinctly explained the evils inseparable from the present system, and showed that the alteration was essential not only to the efficient administration of affairs, and good govern ment of Ireland, but also to the welfare and prosperity of the United Kingdom. The mischiefs arising from a divided administration are, indeed, so obvious to any unprejudiced observer, that the only wonder is that a matter which bas been in contemplation for many years should have been so long postponed. It was seriously considered at the time of the Union, and although certain circumstances induced the then KING to throw his personal weight into the scale, and to recommend the continuance of the office, his MAJESTY at the same time expressed his opinion that it should, at some future period, be abolished. GEORGE the THIRD desired that it should be filled with a person who should clearly understand that the Union had closed the reign of "Irish jobs," and that the civil patronage might be open to his recommendation, bat should be entirely decided in England. Bat how was that wish carried out ? It is, unfortunately, but too notorious that . the most flagrant corruption and jobbery prevailed in the purlieus of the Castle. Party feeling, was encouraged; .hatred and animosity was excited among those of different greeds, agitation became a regular occupation—and why ? Be cause the violent partizan alone could hope to secure the loaves and fishes for himself and his immediate followers. Place-hunting was the general pursuit, which was carried on with a degree of zeal and energy worthy of a better cause. The Viceroy could not venture to act with fairness and impartiality. He was obliged to rule " through a party and for a party.", He thus secured the good will and support of at least a section of the community, which he could only retain by shutting his eyes to the abuses by which he was surrounded. He was then ilauded as a demi-god, or reviled as a de mon incarnate, according to the feelings and prepossessions of those by whom his conduct was canvassed. If for a moment he endeavoured to hold the reins of power with an equal and indifferent hand, to administer justice to all without distinction, former opponents for once became united, and relin quished their own dissensions in order to overwhelm the erring Viceroy, who had the folly to suppose that he could hold himself aloof from petty intrigues or sectarian disputes. Witness the treatment of Lord WELLESLEY, who first refused to worship the Orange faction, or to bow down before the idol of " Protestant ascendancy in Church and State." Consider the insults to which Lord ANGLESEY, once " the beloved," but subsequently the " Algerine," was exposed. Look, again, to the virulent abuse lavished on his successors—on HADDINGTON, " the partizan"—on NORMANDY, the " gaol deliverer"— on Ds -GREY and IlerTzsztrar—even on BESIIO. Rona's, the Irish Lord-Lieutenant—and even on CLARENDON, whose dignified impartiality, and mild and conciliating, but firm and vigorous administration, cast a halo round the office that will long be re membered. ven before the distinguished nobleman last referred to was appointed, the abolition of the office bad been definitively arranged. He was distinctly informed that such a measure was decided on, and that all that remained for con sideration was the most fitting opportunity for carrying the Ministerial intentions into execution. The unfortunate condition of the country, the distress and destitution that prevailed on every side, the pes tilence and famine under which the great majority of the people were suffering, and the political excite ment that led even to an outbreak, which was, how . - ever, promptly suppressed without bloodshed in the field or .on the scaffold, retarded the matter ; but the period has at length arrived, and we may now look for ward to seeing Ireland an integral portion of the British empire, and her children entitled to all the rights and privileges belonging to their English fe low•subjects. We have already fully pointed out that the increased facilities of travelling by land and by water, and the certainty and speed with which intelligence can be communicated between England and Ireland, have removed every pretext for the con tinuance of the office. In point of time and distance, Ireland is now actually nearer than al mist any part of Scotland; nay, it is closer than Devonshire or Yorkshire was thirty years since. The journey from London to Dublin, or Vice versa, may be performed with ease in twelve hours. In cases of urgency, a communication may be received by means of the electric telegraph in four hours, and full instructions returned with equal speed. What reason can there be, then, for maintaining an office which could only be required under totally diffe rent circumstances• —th e relic of bygone ages ? One intimation that fell from Lord Jonzq Rus SELL should render even the Dublin shopkeepers de lighted with the change. They are, it appears, to have the substance in place of the shadow, the reality in place of the phantom. Ha stated that, " without being able to name any particular times at which her MAJESTY would visit Ireland, it is her gracious intention, from time to time, to pay a visit to Ireland, and to have the residence in the Phoonix-park main tained for her own use." This is as it should be ; it will strengthen the feelings of affectionate regard and devoted loyalty that should ever be maintained be tween the MONARCH and her people. It will indeed be far more than a recompense for the annihilation of the " mock court," for the loss of which the Dublin tradesmen are now indignant. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. became our solid and permanent point d'appui in all rea sonable transactions. " The Presse concludes as follows : " Beneath this affair there is one of greater moment, nothing less, in fact, tha n a new state of th i ngs, wh i ch the want of foresight of our Cabinet, and the perfidy of its anonymous advisers prepare for France—and what state of affairs Under the monarchy France might at her will adopt either the Russian or the English alliance. From the option between these two alliances proceeds all her political conduct in Europe, and particularly in the East. On the day after democracy had consti tuted its Government, Russian alliance, which is essen tially anti-democratic, became an impossibility for our country. Good relations with England, which is power fully constitutional and liberal, are, therefore, the conse quenoe of a democratic constitution in France. It is by this federation, written or not written, of the two great liberal powers, England and France, adding to it Spain, a part of Italy. and constitutional Germany, that Europe can alone be guaranteed against the exorbitant weight of the Russian empire, leaning incessantly against the liberty of the continent. It is also by this system that the liberty of the Mediterranean for our commerce and for our exports;—that the security of Algeria for the increase of our colony, which is now more necessary than ever, and that the inviolability and the integrity of the Ottoman empire, that formidable rampart against Russia, may be secured to W. It must be admitted that this instinct of things was admirably understood by the English Cabinet at the advent of the Republic. The writer of these lines himself saw, a few hours after the 24th of February, in the Cabinet of the French Foreign-office, a letter from Lord Wellington in reply to a verbal overture of M. de Lamartine, giving a certainty that England would understand the new 'state of the world. The coincidence of the ex plosion of the revolution, with the existence of the Whig Cabinet of Lord Palmerston, was a piece of good fortune for the revolution of February, and for the necessary maintainance of the peace of Europe. If there had been at that time an illiberal, anti-democratic, anti-French cabinet in London, imbued with the maxims of Burke and the traditions of a Pitt, a monarchical coalition would have immediately taken place against France. An opportunity has long been sought to over throw this liberal :ministry. It is thought that one has at last arrived in this miserable Greek affair, all the interest of whieh does not go beyond an account of some thousands of drachma, to be settled between the treasury of Athens and the English proteges. - Row new is this susceptibility! We showed no anger when Russia marched 80,000 men into Hun gary; when Austria sent 120,000 men into the plains of Lombardy ; w h en V enice fell, after a heroic resistance; we accepted the equilib r i um of the world for 60,000 drachms of dif and submitted to all; and now we br ea k u p ference in the addition which an English Vice Consul makes for the damage caused him by the demolition of his furniture and the pillage of his.house. And it is to this that we would sacrifice the peace of Europe, manu factures which begin to acquire activity, commerce and labour which revive, our exports, our ports, our navy, and in fine, our only natural alliance in th e wor ld." The P r esse was once the organ of the party which advocated the Russian alliance, acknowledging which it now says— " The revolution and the Republic of February have displaced the pivot of our alliances, transporting it logi cally from St. Petersburgh to London." The Credit says — "It is perhaps hoped to revive by the aid of a little charivarism, a popularity which has been so deplorably compromised in the domestic affairs of the country. The Government, we hope, will not be long in seeing from certain signs that France is no longer disposed to sacrifice her liberties to some tinsels of glory; that she has no greater inclination to fight with England than to submit to the patronage of Russia; and that if our Marlboroughs wish to go to war to fetch up their af fairs, they will not form their cortege with the children who are now devoted to works of peace, nor a tittle of their republican institutions." It is said that the PRESIDENT of the Republic is deeply offended with his Ministers for having pre sumed to recall the Ambassador from England with out consulting him on the subject, and that there will probably be ere long a change of Ministry The probability of the passing of the new Electoral Law is becoming less and less every day. Upwards of sixty petitions, all most numerously signed, were presented against it yesterday. The petition against it at the office of the Prase received 10,000 signa tures against it in the course of a few hours. M. LEON Foocuzz did not yesterday present the report on the law as had been expected. PARIS BOURSE, FRIDAY, MAY 17.

Sales about 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for etportation.—Railway Shares were dull with a further decline in prices. The increased abundance of money has operated again upon the Bank of England circulation. Last wrek it was further curtailed. The discounts or advances appear likewise to have been reduced in amount, but we are glad to see the private deposits drawn upon, and trust it is in consequence of fuller employment being found for them in trading pursuits.

The exports of the precious metals from London during the week to:Thursday last:included 12,350 ounces in gold coin to Belgium, and 500 ounces to Hambro', 213 ounces in gold dust to Belgium, and 1,500 ounces in gold bars to Dunkirk. Of silver bars the exports were 25,000 ounces. The letters received this morning from Lancashire state that trade was dull in manufactures, but in York shire a steady business is doing. The English Stock Market has been firmer on the whole, and there have been a few money purchases. The private accounts from Paris state that the objeet of the Government, in appearing resentful against England, was to divert attention from home affairs. This, how ever, is precisely what every reflecting man here pretty well understood. Consols have been 95* to 954, and are now 951 They have been lower for time than money, a proof of the speculative sales outrunning those for transfer. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 96 to 96-1, and the Three per Cents. 944 to India Stock has been 2651 to 267. Exchequer bills have been 67e. to 70s. premium.

A middle-aged man, named Willis, was charged with creating a disturbance in his brother's shop. The brother was Mr. Willis, the bookseller of Charing cross and the Piazza, Covent-garden. Yesterday after noon the prisoner went to the shop, and demanded to see his brother. He was told that his brother was not within, and thereupon he commenced abusing the fore man in a very disgusting manner, greatly to the annoy ance cf several customers who happened to be present. This was by no means the first time that he had been guilty of this offence, and he Ras, therefore, given into custody. Mr. HENRY fined him 405., or a fortnight's imprison ment. Emma Greene, a youthful and pretty-looking prosti tute, was charged with stealing a purse containing three ' half-crowns. Mr. Daniel Cornish, who described himself as a writer fur the public press, and the co-editor of a reli gious paper, the name of which he did not think it pru dent to mention, stated that last night he went to the Adelphi Theatre, and at the close of the performances, not having ever attended such a place before, he suddenly felt an inclination to see what was going on in the Cyder Cellars. He accordingly went there and had some sup per. He left about two o'clock, when he had a sove reign and nine half-crowns in his purse, and on emerg ing from the tav ern h e encountered the prisoner, who took his fancy, and he invited her to go with him. She of course readily consented, and he gave her ss. to secure a lodging for the rest of the night; but on the way to a public-house where he intended to treat her he dis covered that she was very drunk, and.be therefore insisted upon her swallowing a glass of lemonade. When the time came for him to pay for what they had had, he discovered that his puree was gone, and suspecting that his companion had stolen it, he handed her over to the care of a policemen, when his suspicions were confirmed by the missing property being found upon her. Mr. HENRY asked him if he was drunk himself ? The prosecutor said hecertainly was not, though hehad taken two stiff glasses of gin and water, but it was his custom of an evening to take double that quantity. Mr. HENRY said it was clear to him that if he sent the case for trial the jury would acquit the prisoner on the ground that at the time she stole the purse she was too drunk to know what she was about. The prosecutor said if he was certain the robbery was the result of depraved habits which the prisoner had acquired by her course of life, he would certainly take a good deal of trouble to prosecute her. Mr. HENRY told him that the matter rested with him self, but he did not think a jury would convict on the evidence, seeing that upon the prosecutor's own showing the prisoner was insensibly drunk. The prosecutor said, under those circumstances he should decline to proceed further with the case. The prisoner, who said she had an indistinct recol lection of being at a house in Exeter-street, where he gave her the purse, was therefore discharged. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) A young man, dressed in the garb of a labourer, named Jackson, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged with using abusive and violent language, and assaulting a policeman. it appeared that about two o'clock this morning he was found in the neighbourhood of the Mother Red Cap, Camden-town, leaning against some railings in a state of the soundest sleep, with a fine tabby cat reclining on his neck, which, with the usual inclination of its species to warmth, had selected that spot for indulging in a quiet and agreeable nap, but, notwithstanding the awkwardness of the position, his somnolency Ras so overpowering as to make a ny place comfortable, and the warmth of miss pussy's fur round the exposed part of the neck, was anything but disagreeable. But the felicity of the modern Whittington and his cat was doomed to be short-lived, for a meddlesome policeman chanced to come by, and hearing the snoring of the one, and the purring of the other, be could not allow so much en joyment, while he was obliged to wander listlessly about the dull and dreary streets, and he kindly intimated his wish that they should " move on." Poor tabby was soon aroused, but being by no means pleased, she raised up her back in a way peculiar to the feline race, and spat fire at the disturber of her rest. The other, how ever, was less easily awoke from his slumber, and when at last made conscious of the presence of the watchful guardian of the public peace, he growled forth big dis like; but, after some remonstrance, consented to go home. However, the a nnoyance of being deprived of a refreshing sleep in such an inclement night, together with the loss of his cat, who, thinking discretion the bet ter part of valour, had taken to the tiles of an adjoining building, aggravated a temper which was in no pleasant mood, the defendant turned back, accosted the police man, and inflicted upon him several severe blows and kicks, the effects of which had made his body sore all over. With the assistance of another constable he was taken into custody, and on the way to the station-house succeeded two or three times in tripping them both up. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he had been out of employment for teveral 'months, and as he was going home last night a friend met him and gave him half a pint of ale, which had gone to his head, and made him quite insensible. He supposed he had fallen asleep by the railings, and the cat had taken a fancy to him—(A laugh.) The defendant denied having as saulted the policeman. Mr. TYRWHITT said the assault was clearly proved, and he should order him to pay a fine of 10s., or in de fault be imprisoned for a fortnight. The defendant not being able to pay the fine was then locked up. CREMORNE GARDENS. A splendid dinner in celebration of the opening of these delightful gardens was given yesterday evening in the Grand Banquetting Hall, by the enterprising director, Mr. T. B. Simpson, who afforded on this occasion an admirable foretaste of the excellence which under such a well-known and accomplished caterer will undoubtedly characterise the dining and general department throughout the ensuing season. Covers were laid for 300 guests, and there was a profusion of the choicest viands, with cataracts of champagne. Aftc:r the usual loyal toasts were drunk, the health of Mr. Simpson was hailed with enthu siastic cheers, and eloquently responded to by that excellent gentleman in feeling and energetic lan guage. Indeed, the management of this most de servedly popular place of recreation and harmless gaiety, the attractions of which will be found to be considerably increased this summer, could not possibly have fallen into more zealous or efficient hands than those of the host of the Albion. The chairman, Mr. Smith, likewise took occasion to pay some very felicitous compliments to the licensing magistrates, and to the members of the Foueth E,tate. Some glees, magnificently sung by that favourite lender i:f toirmonv, Mr. J. Green, and his talerred troupe, Mr. S. J, , ues, the 11,sters Wall, &c., and rk couple of comic songs, interspfved with must nal conundrums, by Mr. Sharpe, contributed greatly to the festivity of the , banquet, " And all went merry m a marriage bell." ss; 'Greens, is 6d to 2s per dozen bunches; Onions (old), 3s to 4s 6d per bushel; horse-radish, 2s to ss; Celery, 9d to is per bundle; Leeks, is 6d to 2s; and Parsley, 9d to is Od per dozen bunches; early York Cabbages, 6d to 8d; Red ditt , 2s to 3s per dozen ; Brussels Sprouts, 6d to 9 per half-sieve; Endive, is 3tl to is 6d per score; Red Beet, 2s to 3s 6d; and Par snips, 3d to 4d per dozen; Mushrooms, 4d to 8d per pottle; Spinach, 6d to 03 9d; and Jerusalem Atli chokes, is to is 6d per half-sieve; Small Salad, is 6d to 2s per dozen punnets; Sage, 2s 6d to 3s per dozen bunches; Corn Salad, Is to Is 6d per half. sieve; Shallots, 3d to 4d per lb; Potatoes, 80s to 120 s per ton; ditto, 3s 6d to 4s 6d per bushel; Sea Bail, is Od to is 6d per punnet; Asparagus, 4s to is per 100; Rhubarb, is 6d to 4s per doz. bundles; Cornwall White Brocoli, 2s to 2s 6d per dozen heads; Turnip Greens, 3d to 4d per bushel; French Beans, is 6d to 2s per 100; Radishes, 2d to 4d per punnet; Cabbage Lettuces, 3d to 6d per score; early framed Potatoe9, is to 166 d per lb; Sprouting Brocoli, 6d to 9d per siert" Mint, 3s to 4s per dozen bunches; Cucumbers, Is 6cl to 2s per brace.

COPENHAGEN, MAY 13.—The Berlinger Zeitung says :—" His MAJESTY yesterday, the.loth, received the Prussian. General VON BuLow. There were present at this audience the Prussian ambassador, the Danish premier, the ministers, and chief officers of state, who had all the honour of dining with biz MAJESTY. There is no doubt," continues that jour nal, "that the mission of the General is connected with negotiations for peace." The Borsenhalle, however, of the 14th, says : " How far the negotiations are from being likely to lead to a favourable result is evident from the facts that General Bulow intends to quit the capital to morrow ; that all persons on furlough in the army were yesterday desired to return immediately; and that nearly all the frigates and smaller ships of the line, as well as a man-of-war, have been equipped." HAMEURGU, MAY 14.—The British Ambassador, Sir H. WYNN, who has been in England for some weeks on leave of absence, passed through the city yesterday, en route, for Copenhagen. —Havaburgh Borsenhalle, May 14. THE CHORAL FUND SOCIETY.—Among the va rious charitable societies in the metropolis, there is no one which has stronger claims than the " Choral Fund," which has for its object the relief of the afflicted and distressed members of chorusses, their widows, and orphans. Last evening a grand entertainment ;took place at Exeter Hall for the benefit of this society, assisted by the members of the " Choral Fund" and the " Lon don Sacred Harmonic Society." Haydn's oratorio The Seasons was given on the occasion, the vocal solos and concerted pieces by Miss Birch, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Phillips, and the chorusses by the members of the two societies above mentioned. The oratorio was given through • out in excellent style. Among the best pieces were the " Hunting Chorus, " " Hark 1 the merry toned horn," which was encored ; and Miss Birch's air (with chorus), " There was a Squire." M. Benedict was the conductor. Tun WEATHER.—.A considerable quantity of rain fell in the latter part of the week, and since then, though the days have been fine, there has been an unusual quantity of frost in the air, with easterly winds. A change is earnestly and anxiously looked for. An extensive circuit made in the south last week - over Perth, Stirling, the Lothians, Lanark, RenTrew, and Argyllshires—enables us to state that the aspect of the fields in this neighbourhood is not a whit behind the usually more favoured south. In Perth and Stirling espe cially the progress of the winter wheat has not been very satisfactory, and in the Carse of Stirling its appearance is far from promising. • In Renfrewshire and the west the braids are better. The cold weather is general 'over south and north, and if it continues much longer it will be strange in deed if no rise of prices takes place.—lnverness Courier. The certificate of Henry John Stacey, a bankrupt, who had carried on business at Walworth, was yesterday suspended for two years by Mr Commissioner Fane. A man named Williams, alias Boxer Anderson, was yesterday committed from the Lambeth Police -court, charged with having swindled several persons out of large sums of money by playing at skittles.

THE AGE .EEFORB NEWSPAPERS.•••••I atn so put to it for something to say, that I would make a memorandum of the most improbable lie that could be invented by a Viscountess Dowager; as the old Duchess of Rutland does when she is told of some strange casualty, "Lucy, c hild , Step into th e nex t room and set that down." Lord, Madam !" says Lady Lucy, "it can't be true !" " Oh, no matter, child; it will do for news into the country next post."— Horace W* 0 1 8 .
