4 . i 6. 1 Is ,•••,, , REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the ORDI NARY GENERAL MEETING of MEMBERS of the ENGINEERS, MASONIC, and UNIVERSAL MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 1850. The Directors have to report that during the year 1850 392 Pro posals for Assurance have been submitted to the Board, of which 323, assuring the sum of 85,5251., and producing Anneal Premiums to the amount of 2,9621. 15s. 5d., have been completed. The Directors have deemed it prudent to decline 31 Proposals for the sum of 14,8001., and 38 for the sum of 15,1001. stand over for the completion or further consideration. The number of claims from death during the year has been five, and the amount paid upon these, and upon the claims which arose in December, 1849, is 2,2501. In all cases, when requested by the re presentatives, Immediate payment has been made, subject to the usual discount. There are not, at the present time, any claims upon the Society. The annual income derivable from premiums alone upon the 1,174 policies completed to the 31st Dec., 1850, is 1'7,8761. Is. 4d. The Directors feel great pleasure in being enabled to submit this very satisfactory statement, which cannot but enlist from the public increased favour for the Society, and with the continued aid of the mem hers must advance its prosperity.

In the House of Lord, last night, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE stated that the QUEEN, acting by the advice of the Duke of WELLINGTON, had recalled the late Ministers, who felt they bad no alter native, after the failure of other parties to form an Ad ministration, but to attempt to carry on the Government. A desultory conversation took place on the presenta tion of petitions on the subject of the Papal aggression, in the course of which Lord BROUGHAM expressed a hope that the present Bill would be withdrawn, and that Parliament would proceed by way of a resolution of both Houses. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the C003M0129, Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave the same explanations with regard to the Ministerial cris is which had been given by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE in the other House. He asked that no public discussion should take place until Friday, when he proposed proceeding with the Eccle siastical Titles Bill, and when Sir G. GREY would state the alterations which it was proposed to introduce into the measure. His Lordship further stated, in reply to Mr. KEOGH, that time would be given to the country to consider the proposed alterations before going into Coin tniVeee. Mr. MILNER GIBBON protested 2gainst giving this measure precedence over every other. Lord Jour; MAN NERS would not offer any factious op position to the Ministry, but un:ess some measure were introduei'i to reli,we the &istress of the landed interest he and hifi friends scculd draw the attention of Parlia ment to the subject.

Budget. Lord STANLEY bad in the most candid manner informed the country of the line of policy he had in tended to pursue, and he hoped the Noble Lord would do the same. The Marquis of GRANBY admitted that Lord STANLEY proposed Ate imposition of an import duty on corn. After a few words from Mr.MOORE, Mr. NEWDRGATE, and Mr. SADLEIR, the House adjourned to Friday. After a brief interregnum, the RUSSELL Ministry have resumed office, without change or alteration of any kind. As they cannot have received any great accession of strength during the interval that has passed since Lord JOHN RUSSELL applied to the House of Commons for an adjournment of the debate on the PRECIOUS BUDGET, having just before tendered the resignation of himself and colleagues to her MAJESTY, the continuance in office of the same parties must be regarded as a mere temporary makeshift, until the difficulties occasioned by the conflicting opi nions on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill can be removed, and a combined Government be formed from the various sections of Free-traders—the followers of PEEL as well as of RUSSELL. It is, therefore, to all intents and purposes, a " Ministry of transition," such as we have for several days past predicted ; and no question of any magnitude, or on which any for midable opposition is likely to be offered, will be in troduced until the Papal Aggression Bill, in its modified form, receives the legislative sanction and becomes the law of the land, and till a new Cabinet be formed with some pre tensions to be termed " a Government." We have, in common vvith the great body of the people of all classes iind parties, viewed with regret and disgust the resumption of office by Sir CHARLES WOOD. At first sight it appears like a deliberate insult to the community to restore that most unfortunate and incompetent financier to a situation of such importance. It seems as if the voice of public opinion were 'slighted and despised, and that Lord JOHN RUSSELL bad obstinately determined to force that bitter dose, "THE PRECIOUS BUDGET," on the afflicted and indignant nation. But the point happily admits of another and more satisfactory so lution, and until we hear the explanations on the subject of. the " financial scheme," on . which the Premier maintained an unbroken silence, disregarding all the fishing interrogatories that were addressed to him from all sides of the .douse, We shall be disposed to give him " the benefit of the doubt." The appointment of a new and more popular Chancellor of the Exchequer, who might merit the public confidence by bringing forward fiscal and financial measures calculated to relieve industry and to promote the welfare and prosperity of the nation, although it would be received with the greatest de light at the present moment, might possibly retard, or Even prevent, the formation of that combined . Go vernment to,which we are all locking: forward with the most intense anxiety. It i 3 perfectly clear that several seats in the Cabinet must be retained for the- expected recruits. Four or five offices at ?east, and those of no trivial importance, must be reserved fur the Peelites ; and the addition of any ne•w members to the Govern ment who could not he readily got rid of at the proper period, would only occasion increased embar rwsment when the moment for action had arrived— more especially if the new Ministers were persons of any' degree of talent or popularity. We must also consider that if the nature of the arrangements that may be entered into, when the sole obstacle to a coalition is removed, be properly under= stood, it cannot be supposed that any measures of 'fiscal, financial, or monetary- reform will be carried into operation until all the members of that, which we hope and believe will prove a power ful and long-lived Government, are in office to share the honours and responsibilities of the alterations. Under these circumstances, then, nothing should be done in these departments for the present, and Sir CHAZLES WooD. has already afforded the most powerful evidence of his aptitude for administering the system which i; appropriately termed the laissez faire, or "do-nothing" policy. The new-old Premier has demanded time until Friday before he shall be required to state the course which the Government intend to pursue with respect to the other business before the House. He will particularly refer to the Budget, the time at which it is to be brought forward, and the line to be adopted in reference thereto. Considering the diffi culties in which he has been involved, and the urgent claims upon his attention, having to completely re model the only measures that have yet been brought forward, we shall gladly accord the neces sary respite. This, however, we feel it an imperative duty to declare—the country will not submit to equal taxation of every description of income, or to the classificaion for fiscal purposes of the precarious profits of industry with the divi dends, interest, or annual produce of first-class in vestments, or of well circumstanced estates. We do not however desire, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, to insist upon an immediate solution of the fiscal problem. As we long since pointed out, the termination of the law imposing an income-tax affords the most fitting opportunity for a full revision and modification of the entire system of taxation, a course that has been so urgently demanded by all classes of the community. If we are assured, then, that a stringent and search ing inquiry, such as we yesterday suggested, will be instituted not only into fiscal matters, but also into the financial and monetary subjects, that are so closely and intimately connected therewith, that one cannot properly be disposed of without the others being disposed, of also, we shall yield our assent, although a reluctant one, to the renewal of that ini quitous impost for a brief period. It should not, however, be renewed for• more than a single year, and even half that period ought to be amply sufficient. It must, however, be distinctly understood that the concession will only be made on the distinct and po sitive understanding that a real and not a mock in- vestigation is to take place, and that the delay is not to be resorted to as a mode of shelving a dis agreeable subject for another year. And as there will be a large surplus of at least two millions and a half, we would also suggest that one-half of the tax to be levied under Schedules D and E should be remitted in the interval pending the report of the Committee. This would require about 900,0001. in round terms ; and a similar sum might be applied to the reduction of the window-tax to one moiety of its present amount.' These boons might be conceded without any danger of occasioning a deficiency, and they would afford the best evidence of the r u fides of the Government in demanding the delay. The first question to be brought forward by the new Ministry, indeed, we may reasonably conclude the only one on which serious differences of opinion are likely to arise, is the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. On Friday next Sir GEORGE GRET, on moving the second reading of that measure, will state the amend ments and alterations which it is intended to make in it when it shall go into Committee. As it is the only existing obstacle to the formation of a Ministry adequate to the exigencies of the period, capable of really governing the country, and carrying out those measures of reform which are so urgently required, we must feel a natural anxiety respecting its that Ireland will T be opinion appears to b e , excludedfrom the operation o f The the Bill, and that it will merel y be d irected against the assumption or use of the titles recently conferred by the POPE, and the creation of which constitutes the aggression so loudly and so justly complained of. We fear that this compromise will not satisfy any party, while it will virtually acknowledge the authority of the Vatican in an integral por tion of the United Kingdom. It will, in fact, be an admission that he is justified, ex mere motu, in set ting aside the prerogative of the Crown, and invading the independence of the British nation at the other side of St. George's Channel when and so often as he may think it advisable or desirable to snub or insult the British Government. His first ag gression —,—the contemptuous disregard of the elec tion of the Roman Catholic Bishops and clergy of the diocese of Armagh, and his nomination of the R ev . pier. Cumxar, who had for thirty years breathed the atmosphere of the Papal Court, and been inoculated with all its view; and anti-English feel irgs_ruust be forgotten, or such a course would nev er be cont_ mplated. The danger in Ireland is perhaps greater than any that could pos iibl y ar i se i n this country, and it is there that legislation is most required, At this period it is exceedingly "desirable to know the real state of feeling of the educated Roman Ca tholic inhabitants of this country. Many, like the Duke of NORFOLK and Lords BEAUMONT and CA MOYS, have come forward most creditably to declare their firm adherence to the Constitution and laws of the country of which they are natives, and to protest against the Ultramontane doctrines that would render everything subservient to the absolute authority claimed by the Roman See. Others, how ever, proclaim themselves the willing serfs of a spiritual despotism, and would have the nation submit itself to sacerdotal tyranny, not daring to resist in anything. This state of affairs is well expressed in the fo _ lowing "EXTRACT OF LETTER, DATED 15TH FEBRUARY, 185 PROM AN ENGLISH ROMAN CATHOLIC PEER. "Mr. Henry Knight, Lord Clifford's agent, is a fair specimen of the Ultra Party amongst the English Ro man Catholics; their number is greater than, I imagine, is generally believed. With such people it is useless to argue, and impossible to deal: they are prepared to stand by the See and Court of Rome under all circum stances; their principles are consequently totally incom patible with those on which the Constitution and laws of this country rest; they religiously bow in all things to the absolutism of Rome, and condemn as heretics, deists, and traitors, all who do not pay the same blind obedience to the will of the Vatican. " Dr. Ullathorne is another example: his teaching in culcates disobedience to the State, and violation of the laws. "Mr. Bowyer says, that the Letters Apostolic are spiritual in their nature, and therefore binding in con science. No true Roman Catholic can in his view refuse to abide by their consequences, or refrain from carrying out their injunctions; their consequences aro the corn. mon law of Rome superseding the common and statute law of this country, and their injunctions are to consider null and void ordinances of the Crown of England, though ratified by Parliament; Le Pape s'avisera has more force with these slaves of Rome than La Reine le veut. "Hence it followe, that when the expressed will of the See of Rome and the expressed will of the State of Eng land clash, as they now do, the Roman Catholic finds that ho cannot remain faithful to both powers, but must choose one or other of the antagonists for his master." This bold and manly exposition bears in every line the impress of the hand by which it was penned. Although it is not openly declared, there can be no mistake in the author—that•the Roman Catholic Peer is the Noble Lord whose admirable letter to the Earl of ZETLAND excited so much attention at the period when it was published. In giving to the public this extract, which contains so clear a view of the desires and objects of the parties who insist on the patient submission of the country to the Papal behests, Mr. PURTON,COOPER has added to the many obliga tions under which we lie to him for his various pub lications, more especially those on the " Common Law and the Pope's Apostolic Letters," and "The Act of Settlement and the Pope's Apostolic Let ters." The little brochures from which the above qu )ted epistolary fr. 4 n int ex-.. tracted, will. be found eminently interesting at the present crisis, and a fitting, indeed a necessary, com panion to the pamphlet first alluded to. We earnestly commend it to, public attention—it will repay perusal. • " The Ult:-a Party amongst the English Roman Catholics.

It was his first appearance since his late long and severe illness, and his reception was the enthusiastic greeting accorded only to an old friend. He seemed in the highest spirits, and his physical energies do not appear to have been in the least impaired by his recent indisposition. Don Cesar de Bazan is "one of 'Wallack's very best parts, and cries Wallack is the best Dun Cesar de Baran that has ever appeared, and this we say with a perfect recollection of Frederic Lemaitre's personation of the same part. Great as Frederic Lemaitre is, he is not the high-born and high-bred Castilian noble, while Wal lack, notwithstanding his recklessness and his degrada tion, imparts to the character of Don Cesar that indefin able air of refinement which is inseparable from the true gentleman, however depraved or degraded; there )re we prefer the Don Cesar of Mr. Wallack to that of his French rival ; is is more true to human nature, and more especially is it more true to Castilian nature. He acted the part with great spirit, great buoyancy, and exquisite humour last evening, and at the conclusion was called before the curtain and cheered enthusiastically. QUEEN'S THEATRE. Last night another highly interesting drama was produced at this unique little house before a crowded auditory. It is entitled The Camp Follower, or the Mystery of Twenty Years; and with regard to scenery and acting excells many modern productions which have obtained considerable success. The principal characters wore very creditably sustained by Messrs. Willis, Dean, Burford, Fitz william, and E. Green, whose exertions to carry out the idea of the author cannot be too much com mended. Mr. E. Green especially distinguished himself as an actor of more than ordinary merit. The principal female characters were undertaken by Mrs. C. Boyce and Miss Hamilton, both of whom materially aided to render the drama successful. At the conclusion all the principal artists were called before the curtain, and the piece was announced for repetition every evening until further notice. THE FUTURE. (From the Lady's Newspaper.) The mighty minister of joy l The sovereign cure for ill, From doubt, distress, despair, alloy, The sanctuary still ; The bow of promise raised on high, Unquenchable to blaze— When clouds have gathered o'er life's sky, Its lustre bursts the haze. It is whirling us on to the wished-for goal, Be it glory, or love, or pleasure; For oh! where breathed there ever a human soul But the futUre contained its treasure? Oh I the past is with mystical sanctity rife, The present may pleasantness see; But the stone of the sage, the elixir of life, Must be found in the wondrous—To BE. For there the poet's Bay is twining, The warrior's wreath put on, The bridal crown of light is shining, The cherished post is won. 'Tis there the weary is to rest, The mourner to rejoice, And every spirit to be blest For ever in its choice. Then can we wonder that each owns Its magic more and more— That sceptred monarchs leave their thrones To fall down and adore; That golden youth's bright dreams illume; That silver age reveres; That Beauty throws her smiling bloom O'er the sunlight of its years. No; where the worshipped idols are, The heart must ever be; O'er oceans wide—through deserts far, It tracks the land and sea. But only does it love aright, Or can it gain the prize, When it seeks its treasures of delight In the future of the skies ! CATHARINE. THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE DOWAGER COUN.• vEss or CHARLEVILLE.—Testerday morning the mortal re mains of this lady were conveyed from No. 14, Cavendish. square, for interment at the catacombs, Highgate Cemetery, by the side of her son, who was intered a few years since at the same place. In accordance with the desire of the late Countess previous to her death, the funeral was as unosten tatious as possible, all applications to attend having been re spectfully declined. The mourners were Hon. Charles W. (5. Charleville, Lord Tullamore. Hon. John James Bury, Hon. Alfred Bury, Hon. Mr. Moore, &c. METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.-It ap pears from a report of the secretary of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers, printed and issued yesterday by order of the House of Commons, that in the past year the receipts amounted to 91,070/. 6s. 11d., of which 77,784/. 6s. 9d. arose from rates, and 13,322/. ss. from contributions. The pay ments in the year were 94,5541. 10s. I Id. The total charge for the year was 125,918/. 3s. 10d. The amount of assets on the 31st of December last was 82,6361. 9s. 4d., and the lia bilities 161,262/. 19% Bd., of which 61,142/. Is. 10d. was the residue of the old debt of the Surrey and Kent Commission. It seems that the Commission, in little more than twelve months, have matured a comprehensive plan for the drainage of the metropolitan districts, a part of which has been car— ried out, and upwards of thirty-four miles of brick and pipe sewers have been executed during the year. The Commission has jurisdiction in and near the metropolis comprising an area of upwards of 112 square miles. In the year the public works of construction actually executed by the Commission amounted to 69,511/. 45. 2d. For " cleansing" alone 1 7,523/. 14s. 7d. was paid. Extensive works of linage have al ready been executed, and others are to be carried out, ac cording to the report, by the Commission. Tux PAPAL AGGRESSION. —M r . Anderton has just iriven notice of his intention to move, at the next Court of Common Council, " that petitions be presented to both Houses of Parliament against the late aggresslon of the l'ope, for preserving the supremacy of . the Queen an d p ro tecting inviolate the civil and religious liberty of her subjects." THREE DAYS' SIGHT.—A Frenchman received a draft payable at three days' sight at a certain bank. Th e first day he presented himself at the counter, and taking the draft from his pocket-book, extended it before the paying teller, and said, " You see that once," and, folding the draft, he walked away. The next morning he appeared again, and going through the same form, said, " You see that twice." The third day he appeared once more, antic raid, 6 , You see that three time. Now, by gar, you pay him." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Orleanists are greatly disappointed at the post ponement of M. CRETON'S motion for the repeal of the law exiling the Bourbons ' • of that repeal it was well known that the Comte DE CHAMBORD could not, con sistently with his principles, have taken advantage, while the princes of the Orleans branch, who are not restrained by the same considerations, would at once have returned, and would have become, even in spite of themselves, the focus of intrigues for a monarchical restoration. M. TRIERS, M. PISCATORY, and General CHANGARMER were particularly vehement in their opposition to the proposed adjournment, and M. TRIERS went so far as to justify the defence, by M. MARC DUERAISSE, of the execution of Louis XVI. "M. Durnaissz," said M. TRIERS, " has an incon testable right to state in the tribune his personal ap preciation of an historical fact." We should scarcely have expected such a sentiment from the quon dam co-conspirator with BERRYER and DE MONTALEMBERT in giving to the Jesuits the monopoly of the education of the people, and in de stroying universal suffrage ; but eccentricities and inconsistencies such as these are permitted to the members of " the great party of order." M. DE MONTALEMBEIiT has written a letter to the Journal des Debats to contradict the report that he had in the Chamber of Peers, during a discussion on the affairs of Poland, on one occasion characterised the Emperor NICHOLAS as a crowned monster. Seeing that this report has been in circulation for the last ten or twelve years, and must have been known to M. DE MONTALAMBERT to have been so during the whole of that period—seeing, moreover, that the circumstance has been frequently alluded to in his presence, both in the National Assembly under the Republic, and in the Chamber of Peers under the Monarchy, this contradiction is somewhat of the latest, and would seem as though intended to conceal some arriere-pensie. In all the country districts of France " the owners and occupiers of land" are complaining bitterly of agricultural distress. M.

The disturbances at Stockholm appear to have been of a much more serious character than we were at first led to imagine ; and they have been accom panied by the outbreak of an insurrection in Nor way, which has assumed a somewhat formidable character. The disturbances at Stockholm broke out on the 15th ult. during the absence of the KING, at Christiania. A letter from Hamburgh of the 27th ult,, gives the' following details:— ":During the winter season, owing to the difficulties of navigation, there is much delay in the arrivals of steamers from Norway and Sweden. We have just re ceived letters bearing date the 18th of February. Some disturbances, which threatened to assume a serious as pect, had taken place at Stockholm. Owing to the ecer• getib conduct of the police and military, they were hap pily suppressed. "On the 14th tho students of the University of Upsal assembled, to the number of four or five hundred, and paraded the streets of Stockholm. They were dispersed by the police with some difficulty, the people taking part with the students. On the 15th, assemblages took place on a larger scale. The police used their staves in dispersing a mob of some 1,400 persons, and were pelted with stones. It was found necessary to call out a detachment of cavalry, which cleared the streets, and arrested some of the ring. leaders. The regency of the kingdom, established during the King'S temporary absence to open the Storthing in Norway, issued a proclamation prohibiting all assemblages, under penalty of severe punishment, for an attempt to disturb the public peace. " Whilst this was taking place at Stockholm scenes of a similar nature occurred in the town of Levanger, in the district of Stordal, north of Drontheim, in Norway. They originated in the arrest of a notorious promul gator of Socialist doctrines, by order of the mayor of Levangor. The people attacked the prison in which ho was incarcerated. The police were driven back, and it was found necessary to send for a strong detachment of military to the neighbouring towns. The governor of the province immediately proceeded to the scene of dis turbance." Accounts from Stockholm of the 24th state that tranquillity bad been completely re-established in that city, but that in Norway the outbreak bad assumed a serious character. Martial law had been proclaimed in the province. At Drontheim the people attempted to liberate a Socialist propagandist of the name of MIKKELSEN. The infantry were twice driven hack by the mob. A vigorous charge of cavalry cleared the qpen space in front of the prison ; the people rallied in the narrow streets, and finally drove the troops out of the square. The paving-stones were taken up and barricades erected. Some private houses were pillaged. Reinforcements of troops were ad vancing on Drontheim. SWITZERLAND. The Federal Convention of Switzerland, in conse quence of the threats of the. French and German Go ',v,rornents, on the subject of the political refugee 3 resident in that country, has abolished the obligation imposed in July, 1849, on the cantons, to receive refugees, and has besides maintained in force the orders relative to the internment and banishment of refugees. This determination has been announced in a proclamation addressed to all cantons. ITALY. The AuEtrians have concentrated an army of 20,000 !nen ou the frontiers of Piedmont. THE LEVANT MAIL. We have received Constantinople journals of the Bth ult., and those of Smyrna of the 14th ult., and from Athens to the 18th ult. The intelligence from Constantinople is not important. Abrnet Weffyk Effendi, Imperial Commissioner in the Principalities of the Danube, has been named Ambassador at Lon- don. The announcement of the termination of the troubles at Samos is confirmed. The Smyrna and Athens news is quite insignificant. Nothing more has transpired respecting the demands said to have been made by the Ottoman Porte on the Viceroy of Egypt. DEATH OF THE HON. AND REV. GERARD THOMAS Norm, M.A.—We regret to announce the death of the above respected clergyman, brother of the Earl of Gainsborough, the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, the Hon. and Rev.

MEMOIRS OF HORACE WALPOLE, EDITED BY ELIOT WARBURTON, EsQ.-A new historical work, which promises to be one of great general interest , entitled " Me moirs of Horace Walpole and his Distinguished Contempo raries," including numerous original letters chiefly from Strawberry Hill, edited by Eliot Warburton Etq. , is an nounced for immediate publication by Mr. Colburn. In the prospectus of the work it is observed with much truth that " perhaps no name of modern times is productive of so many pleasant associations as that of Horace Walpole , and cer tainly no name was ever more intimately connected with so many different subjects of importance in connexion with li terature, art, fashion, and politics. The materials which it offers to the biographer may indeed be regarded as affording a series of the most entertaining illustrations of society in the last century that have ever been brought before the public. The position of various members of his family connecting Horace Walpole with the Cabinet, the Court, and the Legis lature, his own intercourse with those characters who be came remarkable for brilliant social and intellectual qualities, and his reputation as a wit, a scholar, and a virtuoso, can not fail to render his memoirs equally amusing and in structive." ARREST OF AN AME.ICAN PACKET. — Accounts from Holyhead state, that the New York packet-ship York shire has been placed under arrest by authority of a warrant issued by the High Court of Admiralty, at the instance of the City of Dublin Packet and the Chester and Holyhead Railway Companies; the former claiming 10,000/. for ser vices rendered by the Prince of \Vales in towing the sail vessel into the harbour, and the latter claiming 3,0001. for similar services rendered by the Anglia.— Liverpool "Won.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 600 Air:rise:in and 120 Egyptian were taken on speculation. The sales com prised 4400 American; 600 Peream end Maranhare, at 74d. to 81-it.; 400 Bahia, at e 7i d. to Bjd.; 1,700 Egyptian, at lid. to Sid.; 600 Surat, at 34d. to 5d.; and 20 Sea Island, at Is. 2d. to Is. 6icl. per lb. The market was firm, but inactive.—RailtVay Shares were buoyant, and prices had an upward tendency. Messrs. Baumann and Wunsch, of Glasgow, write, concerning the trade of that city, as under:— " We have scarcely any change to report in the state of cur market during the last month. The prices of all our staple articles have been steadily maintained at pre vious rates, and although we hear - many complaints of dull trade, we are convinced, nevertheless, that a steady and satiefactory business is. doing, and is only less ap parent because distributed into different channels. " The various tables of import and consumption of Cotton Wool during the 'past year, as published by the Liverpool houses, show that even such extravagant prices of the raw material as have been submitted to have not materially checked the consumption of Cotton Wool, while our exports, including the first month of the present year, show a large and regular increase, as compared with former ye are. With the example of the past year before us, and with the prospect of a metro plentiful supply of the raw material, •if not from the 'United States, at least from all otherquartors, s e 'fear not but that, even in the or dinary course of trade, we may look forward to steady and remunerative emphe ment for our artizans. But the visit of so many foreign buyers as will be attracted by the Great Exhibition mus.a unavoidably have au influence in increasing our exports beyond the usual proportion, for it is within the experience of every one engaged in business, that personal communications tend far more than any correspondence could do to increase transac tions, and i mere particularly so when the selection of goOds depends so much upon the intimate knowledge of the tase and wants of the various markets, which we may expect our foreign visitors to passers. " Much time and attention has bean given by our manufacturers, during the laSt month, to the comple tion of their arrangements for the forthcoming Exhi bition. Various novelties, from the lowest priced cot ton handkerchief up to the most costly shawls, have made their appearance, or are still in progress, and so far as we have been able to judge, most of the productions are of the most practical character, and such as could be repeated at any time,. and in large quanti tie s." The Bombay letters to the Ist ult., per Overland Mail, advise continued tightness in the Money Market, and dulne.s of trade in consequence. The Commercial Bank was a loser by the failure of Messrs. D. and M' Pestonjee, but not to a serious extent. At Amsterdam on the 2d inst. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. were 57i I, and at Frankfort Austrian Meta Dies were 734 to 74, Spanish Threes 331.
