Whatever be the course ultimately pursueci by the Czar NICHOLAS, in reference to Turkey, there cannot, happily, be any further doubt as to the Eastern policy of the French or of the English Government. It has been proclaimed too recently and too explicitly, on both sides of the Channel, to be longer matter of the smallest uncertainty. Amongst ourselves it has been avowed boldly by. Ministers of the Crown in either House of Parlia ment. Amongst our neighbours it has been pro claimed in a different manner, but quite as autho ritatively, through the columns of the Pays, in an elaborate article signed by the Viscount DE LA GUERRONNIERE, and generally understood to express the real sentiments of the Imperial Government. Whether we turn for information to the announce ments made in that official organ of the Councils of the Tuileries, or to the speeches delivered in the British Lords and Commons by influential mem bers of the Coalition Cabinet, we discover in any case the entire coincidence of the views entertained in regard to the Sublime Porte by the rulers of France and Great Britain. The identity of those opinions at the present critical juncture must be considered as auguring admirably for the rapid settlement of the difficulty now agitating the op posite extremities of Christendom. The AUTOCRAT may be ambitious, may be audacious, may be resolute in carrying out the grand scheme of territorial absorption upon which he has adventured—but it is quite certain that he is also a man of indisputable sagacity. Against the united forces of France and England he would never plunge rashly into the perils of European warfare. We cannot for an instant suppose that he, no longer in the heyday of youth, no longer in the flush of early manhood, no longer liable to be hurried by momentary passion into the temerity of inexperience —we cannot for one moment sup pose that the astute and powerful intellect of the Emperor NICHOLAS can be blinded to the formid able odds in favour of his numerous antagonists in the event of a conflict arising out of recent cir cumstances. Reflection must bring vividly before him the certainty that, in a struggle thus provoked, he would have to contend single-handed against the arms of all the more powerful sovereigns, his contemporaries. It would be a battle not between Russia and Turkey, but between the Cossack Legions and the patriotic valour of the Osmanlis—a valour inflamed to the highest pitch by a sense of wrong and by the inspiriting knowledge that the mili tary genius of 03IIR PACHA would be aided by the State craft of RESCHID PACHA, by the Royal ardour of the Sultan ABD-UL-MEDJID, and by the maritime armaments dispatched by Queen Vic- TORIA. and the Emperor NAPOLEON to the mouth of the Dardanelles. Added to all this, the CZAR cannot fail to perceive that France and England, in thus sustaining the rights of Turkey against the illegality of his daring and unprovoked aggression, would command the sympathies at least, if not the actual co-operation, of the rest of the chief Powers of Europe. Prussia would find it requisite to side with the opponents of the despotic Cabinet of Petersburgh. Belgium, and Spain, and Por ugal, and the different States both of Italy and C4ermany would look on at the righteous course pursued in this emergency by the Courts of St. James's and the Tuileries with cor dial and undisguised complacency. Even Austria, infected with Russian sentiments and hungering after Montenegro, and thirsting for ven geance against the defender of the fugitive leaders of Hungary, even Austria swayed by a HAPSBURG, influenced by a NESSELRODE, and incited by the net-yet-extinct policy of a METTERNICH--would be compelled in decency, in honour, nay, in simple P r udence, to supp o rt th e u nit e d e ff or t s ma d e a t uonat antinople to withstand the insolent, lawless, and flagitious attempt political made . by the CZAR at "Poliatifonan territorial aggrandisement.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE s, 858. ward against the complicated and worse than use less machinery now in operation. That is the issue tendered by Mr. BRIGHT, and accepted by Sir JAMES IIoGG, as the champion and mouth piece of the Board of Directors. If then, in op position to the earnest request of the inhabitants of Hindostan, it should be determined to legislate permanently, without hearing evidence that might be adduced in their behalf, and with the present defective information, we must decide what shall be the form of the New Government—wh e th er d ou bl e or single— and,if the former, whether the Company, as at present constituted, should retain any portion— or (as the efficient judicial officer quoted by Mr. PHILLIMORE would say) " westage" of their former power. In one respect we are certainly favourably cir cumstmced for immediate legislation—and if that vantage ground were to be abandoned by post poning our final decision, it would form a strong reason against a continuance Bill for two or three years. We have now a carte blanche, a tabula rasa, on which to frame the Indian Constitution. There is no particle of claim, no scintilla of right, which we are bound to respect or take into account even of the most trifling extent. We are, to all intents and purposes, in the same position as if India were a new acquisition, a country just brought under the authority of the Crown ; and if such were really the case, would we for a moment think it necessary to obtain the services of a small body of men, not nominated by the Crown or appointed for their acknowledged expe rience or eminent qualification, but elected by the wealthy dowagers and rich spinsters who have se lected East India stock as a beneficial investment for their capital, and not merely for the amount of in terest guaranteed by England, and which should be paid without deduction or drawback, although the bonds by which we are united to India should be completely severed, and the British flag no longer waved over a single fort or stronghold in the East, but chiefly for the opportunities afforded for pro viding for the children of friends or relatives, through the influence of the kind-hearted director, who promised an appointment, in return for the support obtained during his canvass from and by means of the exertions of his fair constituents. As Mr. BRIGHT pertinently inquired—Would we (under the circumstances) " have sent some men into a bye-street of London to distribute patron age and govern the country ?" We shall allow Sir CHARLES WOOD to answer the question. The Right Honourable Baronet said—" I fully admit that, if you are to test the merits of the Indian Government by any known principle upon which Governments should be formed, it would be difficult to find so great an anomaly as an Indian Empire ;" adding, emphatically, and as if astonished at the hardihood of the assertions he had previously hazarded, as to the beneficial operation of the system—" It seems incredible that a Governor-General should be sent there who, for five or six years, exercises a power greater than almost any sovereign in the world—that he should be controlled and governed again by twenty-four gentlemen elected by a body of men—(and women ?)—not perhaps the best qualified to judge of the merits of a states man, and that that body of men should be controlled by an Indian Minister, who, in the ne cessary play of parties, is often put into that position without any previous knowledge of the Government of the country over the destinies of which he is called on to preside." It scarcely required the declaration that—" No man, if he were called upon to sit down to the task of con structing a Government for India would desire to construct a Government upon such a system for so mighty an empire 1" But this is precisely what he himself is attempting to do at this moment. He is required "to sit down to the task of constructing a Government for India," and what is it he desires to do? Why, simply to per petuate a system which he truly characterises as " one of the greatest anomalies that could be found." Even if the system worked well—if it conduced to the prosperity of the Anglo-Indian Empire and the welfare and happiness of its myriads of in habitants (matters which we distinctly and most unequivocally deny), it would not be in conse quence of, but despite that "anomalous form of Government "—despite that which has been justly designated as " the mystery and mockery of a system which obscured re sponsibility and deluded public opinion." If such arguments had any weight, there would be an end to all hope of amendment. The Borough-mongering system would still flourish in rank luxuriance, and seats in the House of Com mons would be openly bought and sold as articles of exchange and barter in the money-market. We should have heard nothing of legal or other re forms ; and surely no extension of the franchise could be sanctioned by a Minister who - would re strict the suffrages for the election of their mem bers of this important and influential body, who dispense the patronage and control the destinies of that magnificent territory. That double form of government only enables both parties to evade the responsibility that would be cast upon a single department for any misgovern ment or maladministration—it is potential only for evil, occasioning great procrastination and needless and unnecessary delays, where prompti tude is of the greatest possible importance. Valu able suggestions are, if not " burked," at least shelved, at the East India House, and the Cannon row Board--the President whereof, the real autocrat, is appointed from party considerations, and not on account of any experience or peculiar qualifica tions for the situation—who, as Sir CHARLES WOOD declares, is " often put into that position without any previous knowledge of the Govern ment of the country over the destinies of which he is called on to preside," is enabled to excuse his own ignorance and negligence by transfering the blame to the Leadenhall-street Magnates. And for this unwise, unstatesmanlike, and " ano malous" system, the country is required to trans fer enormous patronage to the hands of these irresponsible and, possibly, unqualified persons. Why should not the Government of India, like that of any other dependency of the United King dom, be made a department of the Govern ment, with a Council, and a responsible Minister of State? Aud even if the double form of Govern ment should be considered essential, why should one of its branches be placed in the hands of the holders of 6, 000, 0 0 0/. of India Stock, who have no greater claim than the owners of the South Sea Stock about to be paid off, or of Three per Cent. Consols—than the Court of Aldermen of the City of London, or the vestrymen of St. Pancras or Marylebone—to the exercise of a trust so im portant and so beneficial to the Trustees them selves, and their friends and relations, who thereby secure for themselves so many lucrative and desirable situations ? There are hopeful symptoms that the appeal or mercy, or rather for justice, on behalf of the Dockyard electors has not been in vain, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who volunteered to be Parlia mentary agent in passing sentence of political death upon them, has himself given them a respite. The Dockyards themselves are holding meetings, and taking that sure course for success, helping themselves ; and now a very able weekly journal, and one supposed to be on the best possible terms with the Treasury, which at least has of late very frequently advocated strongly the course after wards taken by Government, has taken up the cause of the proposed victims with unusual earnestness. It has presented its readers with a long homily in five or six heads, and a peroration besides, ,which, we should have feared too many readers would skip, as we used to do the dialogues in " Pilgrim's Progress." However, in all the arguments of our contemporary, as our readers will have seen, we most heartily concur and wel come his co-op era ti on . W e , t oo , regar d the pro position of disfranchisement as premature, as un necessary, as incliscriminate--punishing a large a v n en d a Pp e Zen as t majority for the wickedness of a . em -2'eB, and as and we sincerely litiospte' as partial in relation to oth er constituencies that, th th o e u degrading and other Government em a Lora J oitte gradin tO though b ta l i e c H s e o r u v s i e c e • f Commons receive ; announcement of a bill for disfranchisement with cheers, yet a little reflection will dispose them to less rash and question able mean sof checking corrupt influence. Indeed, we are pretty sure that those cheers were not given for the precise proposition to disfranchise. They were rather elicited by some appearance of sin cerity and earnestness on the part of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in regard to putting down electioneering corruption—especially a mode of corruption which our gallant tars and the country might rue in the shape of inferior and comparatively inefficient wooden walls. So strongly do we feel that our naval work in the Dockyards ought to be the best work in the kingdom, or in the world, that we would consent to disfranchisement, or to anything else necessary, to secure the efficiency of the ser vice. We must no longer have our " smitheries (nor anything else in our Dockyards) inferior to those in the private trade." Indeed, if it were so, our Dockyards themselves would soon cease to exist. It would never be long endured by the community, by the service, or by Governments in these days of free discussion, that the defenders of our country should not sail in the last and best equipped ships which could be constructed ; and if private contractors could do the work best, into their hands assuredly the work would go. It was this feeling of the importance of Dockyard service being of the very best, alarm at its having been tampered with, and Lord JOHN'S showing himself, on behalf of the present Cabinet, quite ready to part with Government influence, which induced Honourable Members to cheer as they did. We, perhaps, on the spur of the moment, might have done the same. The House and his Lordship may, however, now consistently pause and reconsider the case. Both have shown their concern on the all-important point of secur ing efficiency at any cost ; but the short cut of disfranchisement is demonstrably not the thing. It appears that the rescinded minute is now made an order in Council. Sir BALDWIN WALKER has been restored to the full powers which, by uni versal agreement, he has exercised so admirably. There is little chance of his ever being tampered with again by any Government, and it is per fectly certain that under his administration a man may be as zealous a politician as he pleases, provided he leaves his politics at the gates of the Dockyards. Woe, we venture to say, will betide the unhappy wight whom he should hear of, as having used his position in the service on behalf of either the " ins "or the " outs." And as to the permanency of such a kind of administration, we have the fullest assurance that, single-minded as Sir BALDWIN WALKER has proved himself in looking to the good of the service only, " we have within the realm five hundred good as he." It will now become the settled point of honour with every English gentleman undertaking the office of Surveyor of the Navy to keep the pro motions immaculate of political suspicions. It will therefore be done henceforth. An English gentleman, and least of all one who must almost necessarily have been connected with the navy, is not the man to fail in any engagement to which his honour is really and openly committed. The whole of the late proceedings, moreover, must have assured the workmen themselves that they are safe for the future ; every man will now at tempt to rise in the service by skill, industry, and good character only. It is on moral considera tions of this kind that we chiefly rely against future corrupt influence. We would indeed give the pledge of the Ballot in addition ; and that not only as Mr. TUFFNELL, we believe, proposes, to the Dockyard electors only, but to the electors of the entire borough. We would so merge the votes in secrecy and numbers that detection of the voter's secret, if he chose to keep it, should be impossible. In any case, whether Lord JOHN will permit the Ballot to be tried in these appropriate consti tuencies or not, we earnestly entreat Honourable Members to set their faces against the rough and ready process of disfranchisement. This kind of electoral Lynch law is better suited for the" lati tude of California and Kentucky than of Eng land. For the sixty or seventy really pocket boroughs which Lord JOHN'S last Reform Bill so tenderly spared, for constituencies, at once so small, so dependent, and so corrupt, that Messrs. BROWN and CorPocK know their price to a sovereign, or their master to a certainty, no other remedy is indeed possible ; but the country will never be satisfied to annihi late boroughs comprising so many elements of in dependence, and capable of being easily rendered the most respectable and independent constitu encies of the kingdom. And we object again, as we have before done, to depriving any Govern ment servants of their vote. Even in the case of the Exciseman and the Postmaster, we have always thought it a needless degradation. The character of every person selected for Government employment ought to be a sufficient guarantee. This may sound a little Utopian to some, but partly when we remember how small a part Government officials form of any particular constituency, partly that nearly all of them must be men much above the lowest in point of education, and, further, that detection in electoral mal practices would bring down upon them a vin dictive House of Commons, exposure, followed by rebuke or dismission, it may come to be thought eventually that official disfranchisement is needless jealousy. Nothing, however, can reconcile us to the extension of this really un-English rule. Pro tect the honest voter against the political sharper, but do not rob him yourself under pretence of guarding him against knaves. Treat the Govern ment official as a man above using his office shab bily, and you take the most efficient means to hinder him from doing so. If he offend, punish him, if you will all the more severely, for prosti tuting not only his own honour, but his country's trust ; but do not lay down as a principle that the QUEEN'S service is incompatible with political honesty. THE NEW TEA DUTlES.—Yesterday a parliamentary paper set forth that in the month ended the sth ult., only 2,359,8651 b. of tea were entered for home consump tion, paying duty, whereas in the like period of last year the quantity was 4,704,0921 b. The difference arose in consequence of the expected new duties. BULLION IN THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—On Monday a return to the Houses of Parliament was issued, from which it appears that on the 16th of April the bullion in the Bank was 19,037,0001. The monthly issue of notes in circulation in England, Scotland, and Ireland, in the four weeks ending 16th April, was 40,096,9351. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY.—At the meeting of the Grand Junction Canal Company, held yesterday, the report was adopted, and a dividend declared of 21. per share, free of income tax. Upon the directors being nominated for re-election for the ensuing year, a large number of proxies were unexpectedly produced, by which they were turned out and a new set chosen. This proceeding excited strong remarks, since it was asserted that if notice had been given of an intention to use proxies the re-election of the old directors would have been carried by a large majority. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and, the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.071, it follows that gold is about 0.38 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 427 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.6 ; and, the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.54, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. tREVENUE SEIZURES.—In pursuance of directions from the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Trea sury, the Commissioners of Customs have directed their officers at the several ports throughout the United King dom, in case of any seizure or detention of a vessel, boat, or goods, at or within their respective ports, upon appli cation being made to them in writing, to take the evidence on oath of the merchant or other party claiming the property on the one side, and of the detaining officer on the other, and to receive the testimony on oath of any witnesses necessary for the proper investigation of the case, and to transmit the papers, with their observa tions thereon, for the Board's consideration and direc tions ; observing, however, that this order is not in tended to apply to cases in which a prosecution of the vessel, boat, goods, or party shall have been directed by the Board, or in which they have reason to suspect fraud, or deem it expedient to take the directions of the Board in the first instance. The officers are also directed take especial care, before any inquiry of the kind be commenced, that timely notice be given to the party making the application, in order that he and all parties interested, and who may be desirous of being present, may have an opportunity of attending the investigation. rte _ = ; eibtrb lattion ASCOT RACES.

SECONDARIES COURT-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Potter.) CORDENZEZ V. THE HON. FREDERICK WALPOLE. This was an action to recover compensation for ser vices rendered by the plaintiff as assistant secretary to the Quartzburg Gold Mining and Importing Company, of which defendant was alleged to be a director. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The plaintiff was called rand proved that he had been engaged by Mr. Mettram, the secretary of the company, and it was endeavoured to be shown that defendant was one of the directors—that his name appeared in the prospectus issued by the company, and that he had at tended the meeting of the board in the capacity of direc tor. To prove the last point the plaintiff was asked whether he had not entered the minutes of the meetings, and knew from them that defendant was present as one of the directors. The question was objected to. Plaintiff's attorney then called for the Minute Book, to produce which notice had been given. For the defendant, it was urged that the book was not in his possession, and that secondary evidence ought not to be admitted. There could be no doubt there had been such a book, and plaintiff had sworn that it was in his own handwriting, and he ought to have called upon the party who had the custody of it to produce it ; but when produced it might not prove the plaintiff's ap pointment or the defendant's liability. The Learned Secondary concurred, and the plaintiff elected to be nonsuited. SOUTRWARIC.-(THIS DAY.) ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—Ann Garvas, a good-looking female, eighteen years of age, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with attempting to drown herself in the river Thames. James Harman, watchman and porter in the employ of a wharfinger at Carpenter Smith's Wharf, Tooley street, said that, shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, he was standing on the wharf; when he saw the prisoner rush down the public stairs adjoining and leap into the river, which was very deep at the time. Witness jumped onboard a ship lying at the wharf, and having lowered a boat, he leaped into it and pushed off to the female's assistance. After considerable difficulty he caught hold of her hair, and kept her head above water until some persons came to his assistance, when they got her into the boat, and conveyed her ashore. She was quite insensible, and, by the advice of a neigh bouring surgeon, he took her to St. Thomas's Hospital, where the usual remedies were applied for some time, and she was restored to animation. James Hurlem, police-constable 114 M, said he re ceived the prisoner, in charge at St. Thomas's Hospital that morning, when she expressed her regret that she had not been allowed to destroy herself. Mr. A'Beckett asked her what she had to say for herself 'I She replied that she was extremely sorry for what had occurred. Her unfortunate way of living had caused her to attempt the rash act, as she was tired of it, and did not like to inform her parents, who were respectable people. Mr. A'Beckett asked her whether she really wished to reform her habits of life, and become a respectable member of society ? She replied in the affirmative. Mr. A'Beckett said he should remand her until to morrow, so that her parents might be made acquainted with the circumstances, and that something might be done for her. Two DETERMINED SUICIDES BY FEMALES IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday morning two determined suicides were committed by two females, who committed self destruction by drowning themselves in the River Thames, off Mill-lane-stairs, Tooley-street, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that the first case is that of Catherine Carney, aged 19 years, who resided in Union street, Borough, and was observed by the policeman on duty to be loitering about, which created his suspicion, when, during his temporary absence, she plunged into the water. An alarm was raised, when she was extri cated as quickly as possible, and conveyed to Elizabeth ward, St. Thomas's Hospital, where every means were used to restore animation, but without effect, as the un fortunate woman died shortly after her admission. An other woman, whose name is unknown, an acquaintance of the other, committed suicide by the same means, and near the same spot ; and although every means were adopted to rescue her from a watery grave, the parties were unable to succeed. No cause is at present assigned for these rash acts. Information was forwarded to the coroner, but no day has yet been named for the inquests. TESTIMONIAL TO MISS KELLY.—We are enabled to state that a committee has been formed of the following noblemen and gentlemen—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of Bedford, the Duke Of Leinster, the Earl of Carlisle, Sir Henry "Webb, Charles Dickens, P. Fairbairn, Walter Arnold, John Forster, J. P. Har ley, Mark Lemon, Clarkson Stanfield, and Charles Young, Esqrs., for the purpose of giving a benefit to Miss Kelly, at the St. James's, on Thursday, the 16th instant. This talented actress is about to retire from public life, and such a testimony to the esteem in which she is held must be highly-flattering to her. The enter tainments will be under the patronage of Her Most Gra cious Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. The services of many of our leading actors and actresses will be called into operation, and a brilliant evening may be anticipated. STOCKING WRECK OF AN ENGLISH VESSEL AND Loss OF LlFE.—lntelligence has just been communi cated at Lloyd's, of the total loss of an English vessel called the Stewarts, with her commander, and most of the crew, in a fearful gale, which visited the vicinity of Cadiz in the early part of last week. The ill-fated vessel was quite new, having only been launched about three months since. She belonged to the Tyne, and, in the course of last month, sailed from that river for Carthagena. The voyage was safe enough until nearing Cadiz, when a most furious gale was encountered from the W.S.W., which seemed to have completely overwhelmed the un fortunate ship. The most desperate exertions of the crew failed in preventing her being blown towards the shore, and eventually she was hurled on a formidable reef of rocks near the fortress of Sante Petre. What with the tremendous sea which was beating over and sweeping the wreck, and her heavy bumping on the reef, the unhappy fellows on board had but a trifling chance of preserving themselves. Escape by means of the boats was next to an impossibility, and the vessel speedily breaking up soon terminated the suffer ings of most of the crew, including the master, Mr. Wiliam Cowell, seven in all perishing. The chief mate, named Petharm, and four sailors— George Dodson, John Ennis, John Miller, and Wm. Griever—contrived to save themselves by clinging to the rocks ; but they were taken off in a very exhausted state. Another man, Na thaniel Key, was found upon the reef, but he died shortly after he had been removed. The names of those drowned are—William Cowell, master ; Alexander M'Donald, Charles Macarthy, Thomas Stewart, Richard Thompson, James Allison, Alexander Stevenson, and J. C. M'Callum. They were mostly residents of Shields. The Stewarts is understood to have been in sured. BRONZE WORKING IN ENGLAND.—We look for a great extension of bronze working in England : an im petus has been given to it which will, it is to be hoped, augment. A wide field for artistic industry - is here open. The value of bronzes annually made in Paris at at this time, cannot be less than a quarter of a million sterling. As an encouragement to those who are fol lowing this branch of art in England, we may mention that Hatfield has just now found a purchaser, at the sum of 3001., for his bronze figure, after. Mr. Foley's " Youth at the stream," produced by him for the Great Exhibition,--The Builder. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE—(THIS DAY.) CITY, TJVO O'CLOCK. . The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The - market closed tamely without much change in prices. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranham, at 6d. to 61d. ; 200 Egyp tian, at qd. to 9d., and 300 Surat, at 34d. to 41d. per lb. Railway shares were active at im proved prices. The public sales of wool were brought to a close last evening, and the following particulars of the results are supplied by Mr. H. P. Hughes Our first series of the new clip consisting of 6,659 bales Australian ; 17,689 bales Port Philip and Portland Bay ; 2,757 bales Van Diemen's Land ; 97 bales South Australian ; 62 bales New Zealand ; 6,494 bales Cape of Good Hope ; 33,758 bales Colonial ; 3,308 bales East India ; 436 bales Odessa Merino, and Brook Washed ; 202 bales Spanish and Portugal ' • 265 bales German ; ' 770 bales Buenos Ayres • 2,829 bales sundries ; 41,568 bales in all, commenced 19th ult., earlier than was at first expected, and terminated this day. " The attendance of home buyers was very good, and larger purchases made for continental account than in February last, but until political affairs assume a more steady aspect, we must not expect our continental neigh bours to operate freely. Our sales opened at February rates, which were fully supported throughout, and closed with firmness. With some few exceptions, where no doubt great efforts had been made to maintain a former character for con dition, the wool was not so well got up as in former years, some few Sydney flocks were very moity and burry ; still considering the many difficulties colonists must have met with during the last clipping season, there is no little credit due for their exertions in being able to push forward a fair proportion of their growth so early, and, under trying circumstances, in such very creditable condition. Owing to scarcity of labour in the colonies a large proportion of wool has arrived in the grease. Good flocks in pretty light condition sold at satisfactory prices, Very little Van Diemen's Land or South Australian arrived in time for these sales. Cape Good Hope wool, of which a large proportion was offered, with the exception of some low mixed parcels. realized good prices. South American wool, of good quality and not very burry, sold well, while that in burry and wasty condition did not meet with so ready a sale. East India wool was in very good demand, and realized high prices, good qualities selling at ld. to advance over last February sales." By the Baltic, accounts three days later have been received from New York. The Stock market at the latest date had assumed a more active ap , pearance, the tendency in some of the "fancies" be ing upwards. The Columbia Bank at Washington, had stopped. Cotton had risen * per lb. In freights for Liverpool more was doing, and they were firmer. A large business was being done in flour, and prices were higher. At New York, the Star of the West had arrived from California with advices only one day later. The Market generally, for all kinds of goods was declining, and provisions were cheaper owing to increased supplies. The stocks on hand, of most articles were light, and business was carried on to a very limited extent. The Columa Miners' Advocate says :—" The largest lump ever found in this state was taken out of Dr. Carpenter's claim, at the Columbia-house, about five miles above this place, on Monday last. It weighs over one hundred pounds, two-thirds of which is supposed to be quartz. We have .not seen it, but those who have are confident that at least one-third of it is gold. The claim from which it was taken, Dr. C. informs us, is paying from twelve to sixteen dollars a day to the hand. They are supplied with water by the Rock Creek Canal Company." Bills of Exchange were taken yesterday after noon, at the previous rates, on Paris and Amster dam, but at a slight reduction 'on Hamburgh, Frankfort, and Trieste. The Honourable East India Company drew bills during the fortnight ending last evening to the I amount of 52,7841. The Board of Trade Returns for the month end ing the sth ult. show an increase in the exports of 2,309,9951. over the same date of 1852. The speculators in stocks are somewhat at fault just now. Late yesterday afternoon intelligence was received that the French funds had fallen 1 to 2 per cent. This proves to be incorrect, actually because the lower price is in part attributable to the deduction of the dividend. On the other hand, there are accounts in town from St. Petersburg which read very unfavourably, and inspire apprehension in many that the Emperor of Russia will not yield. Another alarming rumour is that the French army is to be increased 100,000 men. It may turn out that this is merely an arrangement connected with the raising of men and the periodical retirement of those who have served their time. Money is very easy, and this counteracts the influence of the news which, as above remarked, is only partially credited. Consols have been 98g for account. The New 3 per Cents. have been 101 k to 102. The Reduce 3 per Cents. are at 99f if. Bank Stock is firm at 229. Exchequer Bills are ss. to Bs. premium— a rise of 3s. This day the dissentient holders are receiving back their money at par, and as the total amount is three millions, much interest is felt to know what will be done with it. In Foreign Stocks there is not much doing, if we except Mexican, which are buoyant again at 28 to 4. Nothing definite has yet transpired con cerning the reported appointment of Messrs. Baring Brothers as the agents. Grenada Bonds have been at 221 for the Active, and at 10 to for the Deferred. Brazilian 41 per Cents. have realised 981. Spanish Deferred Bonds have been at 231. The Swedish Loan is to 2 discount. Sardinian Bonds have been quoted 941. Portuguese 4 per Cents. are steady at 40. Dutch 4 per Cents. have realised 96, and Russian 4i per cents. are 104, being about the previous rates. The railway share market has been rather inac tive, and prices have not varied to any extent for the English lines. The French are rather lower. Gold mines are generally very firm, and with more inclination to do business. Joint Stock Bank shares have been firm. -- The Land Companies' shares have remained steady, but with less doing.

Consols for Opening 19th July 9Bs x d DEATH OF A WEALTHY PAIIPER.—An inmate of St. Pancras Workhouse, named William Mayne, said to be a nephew of Sir Richard Mayne, Chief Commissioner of Police, has just died in the infirmary of that workhouse. The deceased, who was 53 years of age, was admitted in May last, on an overseer's order, he being at the time in an apparently wretched state of destitution. Since his death, however, there has been found concealed in his clothes two drafts of 501. each, a 101. note, and two Si. notes. It has been ascertained that deceased for merly held a responsible situation in the Census-office, Craig's-court. The master of the workhouse has sent a communication to some relatives of deceased, who reside in Ireland, to afford them an opportunity of claiming the body, and establishing their right to the property. EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIAN FEAT.—Mountjoy, a well-known pedestrian, accomplished last week the ex traordinary task of walking from Loughborough to Derby and back again, twice a day, for six consecutive days, making 78 miles a day. He commenced on Mon day week ; and though apparently somewhat distressed about the third day, lie completly rallied, and completed his task on Saturday night, with evident ease. Mount joy is said to be about 53 years of age.—DepLy Mercui y. CLYDESDALE ORCHARDS.—The appearaae, of fruit in the orchards of Clydesdale gives promise this season of large abundance. Since the year 1822 there has been nothing to equal the appearance. Of late years the pro prietors have suffered much by the frosts that set in after the blossom had appeared ; but from the lateness of the season, no danger has been experienced from this cause.—Glasgow Constitutional. The Hon. Major Macdonald has just engaged, for his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, until Septem ber next, the beautiful residence belonging to G. F. Tawrey, Esq., Ilarewood-lodge, Sunning-hill, which is three miles distant from the Chobham encampment. Baron Rothschild having engaged the above residence for the Ascot Race week, his Royal Highness will take up his abode there the week following. SHARE MARKETS..-(THIS DAY.)
