The Succession Duty Bill has been partially considered in committee, but no attempt bas as yet been made to carry into execution fully and fairly the broad and comprehensive principle enunciated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and really to equalise the duty on successions to every description of property real or personal, settled or unsettled. The Right Honourable Gentleman has hitherto mignally failed to fulfil the sanguine expectations he had excited. There is, indeed, a well-defined and easily discoverable line of demareation be tween his professions and his practice that renders the measure under discussion little better than " a mockery and a delusion." It is unquestion ably a step in the right direction giving admis sion to the sharp end of the wedge, and recog nising a principle which must lead to further legislation until perfect equality be attained, for nothing less will satisfy the people. We are not, we confess, friendly to a tax on successions, which appears to us to be the very worst species of direct taxation. We Conceive, as we have already stated, that it would be far more beneficial for the owners of accumulated and realised property to satisfy the amounts which they are bound to contribute to the National Exchequer by certain equal annual payments, commuted according to a reasonable calculation ; than by large sums trenching deeply on their re spective capitals, levied at uncertain times and in unequal amounts. We cannot understand how those who object to a graduated Income Tax, denouncing it as little better than " confiscation," can assent to a plan which, according to the circumstances of the case, charges one person only the one-tenth of the amount levied upon his neighbour for succeeding , to an inheritance of exactly equal value. Accord ing to the constitutional principle, each man should be taxed according to his means and posi tion ; and yet a duty of ten per cent., equivalent to nearly four years' income, is imposed upon one, while the other escapes on payment of one per cent., or little more than four months' in come. When this is sanctioned, surely there could be no objection to recognise the dis tinction between the fortunate possessor of 20,0001., and one of 2001. per annum. More especi- . ally when one is fixed and permanent, the other fluctuating and precarious. The charge should also be levied at equal intervals, so that each per son might know exactly what he would be called upon to pay, and be enabled to make provision ac cordingly ; but, here, one property may be exempted from the demands of the tax-collector for sixty or seventy years, while another may pass through a dozen different hands in the same space of time. It is obvious, too, that the successions will occur more frequently where there is a failure of direct issue, and the property goes to a colla teral branch of the family. But these aro the cases which are charged most heavily, and therefore we find the highest proportions of duty of most frequent recurrence. A property passing through four or five brothers in succession will change hands much more frequently than one which descends from father to son in duo course. The succession in the latter case will not occur more than once in a generation, or about from 25 to 30 years ; but, in the other instances, the average will be much lower, and ten or a dozen years will be much nearer the mark. We do not quite under stand this legislative " blowing hot and cold" which sanctions that, in the case of successions, which excites a sensation so profound--a horror so holy, if even proposed with regard to industrial incomes. But it is not in deprecation of the tax we desire to urge our arguments. It has been ren dered inevitable through the apathy and selfish indifference of those who disregarded the well founded complaints of the sufferers, so long as the grievance was not brought home to themselves, so long as they could shirk and evade their own lia bilities. Our business now is to see that the mea sure, which, according to the great admirer of the 81 1'lenventary" Budget, " evidently - developes into a new form of Property Tax, designed for p erm anency, and of f eli p eved from some of the ob noxious features shall be renderzlecaessaciotmroppleelt.tey as and In c o me practicable, to obviate the a o x a ; s ' ony of future alterations and further discussions .i up excitement in the pu bl ic subject, keeping the t ic mind, maki ng large inroads up on the dispatch of the businessinie requi re d f or and if any changes should be sanet o i f on the county the law, and occasioning a vast amoendn,tunsettling Of ex Sin and ruinous litigation to parti es who , epen the statement made by the Solieitcr- General f a irly carried out, so that, if successful, th ey • 4 ecover costs from the Crown, as from an of EViSlik 'litigant, would yet be heavily mulcted, ---' tyrihe difference of costs actually disbursed, and , ~. , ,- -- f rom the other side ; or, ' - ` ( (iZOi the ammint recovered solicitor and ? irt4l:' - - in legal prlance, , "of costs betwe en • 1 v.

Why should the double machinery be pre served, and double costs incurred (for the duty to Government will only constitute a portion of the disbursements of a successor to either real or per sonal property) on two distinct sets of duties, arising on, or rendered payable by, the same event, viz., the transference of property on, or in conse quence of, the death of any party ? Why should not the Probate Duties, and Legacy Duties, or duties on successions, be completely amalgamated ? and any questions arising in respect thereto adjudicated on by a single tribunal, and in a single suit in place of having one cause in the Prerogative Court, or, if there be bona notabilia in different dioceses, causes in several distinct Prerogative Courts, another in one of the Superior Courts of Common Law, and another in Chancery ? Surely, if charges so onerous are to be maintained and extended, the machinery should be rendered as simple, the charge of col lection as moderate, the interference with the parties as limited, and the inquiries as little inqui sitorial, as could be consistent with the preven tion of fraud, and the evasion of the duties sanc tioned by the guardians of the public purse. At present the machinery is of the most com plicated character; and it is admitted, on all hands, that many difficulties must arise, many yearn elapse, and an enormous quantity of litigation be encountered before the state of the law can be considered as settled, or judicial interpretations of the different provisions obtained on the multi plicity of cases that must be of almost daily oc currence under the contemplated enactments. What an extensive field for litigation must arise under the 7th clause as to what should be con sidered as " fraudulent evasions" of the duty ? How many questions will occur on the clause pro viding that " duties shall be paid on the suc cessor becoming entitled in possession but in the case of outstanding interest, on the determina tion thereof ?" 'How will it affect the adminis tration of trusts ? and who will, under such cir cumstances, be induced to undertake such onerous, responsible, thankless, and ill-requited • duties ? But all these difficulties are occasioned by the de sire of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to exhibit undue favouritism towards the landocracy, and to avoid carrying out that full and perfect equality of taxation which he averred to be the principle of his Bill, and which afforded so favourable an opportunity for self-gratulation. There is a well-known and famous theory of the origin of us lords of the creation, according to which, from an almost invisible monad, we be came successively jelly-fish, dog-fish, reptiles, apes without tails, and, lastly, men. The tenant farmers, it would seem, have got beyond the rep tile stage, and soon, therefore, we may expect to see them begin to walk erect and gaze upon the sky. Mr. BERKELEY declares that, in respect to ready transference from Toryism to Whiggism, or vice versa, according as landlords change, and in perfect docility under the process of being put now on the Tory, now on the Whig side of the hustings, the farmers are veritable Buck-rabbits ; yes, tame Buck-rabbits. He gave the House some specimens of the taming process, but in truth they were not needed. Nothing is better known, to any one really acquainted with the agricultural districts, than the perfect subservience of the farmers to their landlords. The Reform Bill has entirely changed the character of the county re presentation. Previously to that the independent freeholders were a very large proportion ; since then the tenants, a large part of them being even tenants-at-will, have completely swamped the free holders. •It was trivial of Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT to tell us of a few wealthy tenants-at-will in Wiltshire not voting for a corn-law repealer in South Wilts ; that was a venial offence in the eyes of landlords. The political surface of the English and Welsh counties is, beyond dispute, one nearly unbroken level of Toryism, or at least, of Landlordism a vast Conservative prairie, with a casual tree of Liberty per haps in a metropolitan county or manufactur ing half county. Indeed, Mr. Burr, and other Reformers in his line, might attain their ends most easily by a•bill to put the franchise directly into the hands of the landlords. The half million of voters in England and Wales would be quite as well polled through their 30,000 or 40,000 vote-owners. It would save the stewards much rather unpleasant work, and materially dimi nish the cost of county elections. The land lords could easily poll in a single day, and they would certainly not need the Ballot. So entire is the prostration, that even in the better cultivated counties, as in Norfolk and Suffolk, where leases are general, it makes little difference. The ten ant who dares to have an opinion and a will of his own, much more the tenant who ventures to speak at public meetings for anything but "the repeal of the Malt Tax," and "taxing the foreigner," becomes a marked man. Heis publishedamongstthelandlords like a criminal amongst the police ; even his brother farmers think him a fool for his pains, so com pletely do they look upon tenant slavery as one of the " domestic institutions" of agricultural dis tricts, well knowing that to seek escape from it is not only a hopeless attempt, but even embitters the bondage of the submissive. When his lease is out, his alternative not unfrequently is to quit the county, if not the country. One of the strongest evidences of their bondage is that they dare not even ask for liberty. There is not a class who long for the Ballot more than the tenant farmers, especially where, as in the more highly cultivated counties, they are men of some intelli gence ; but they dare as soon cut off their right hands as sign a petition for the Ballot. Mr. BERKELEY'S picture of " putting on the election screw" is true to the letter. Why, Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself has felt it in his own case. He surely has not forgotten how, on his becoming Mime Secretary in 1835, all the Buck-rabbits of South Devon, or some 600 of them at least, were handed over from him to Mr. MONTAGU PARKER, the Conservative. The rab bits kicked not, that we heard of, but his Lord ship did kick a little, and threatened in his wrath that he would visit those who took them by the ears with the Ballot ! Nor is it only the tenant farmers who are " screwed"—it is notorious that intimidation is practised in every conceivable mode; mobs, priests, creditors, lawyers, employers, cus tomers, every one who has hold on another's fears, may and, as the rule, does make use of it in elec tion contests ; by no means always openly. The trembling voter too generally knows that he may not displease his evil genius. We have always insisted most strenuously on the deep and real grievance of the intimidated voter, and we are glad to see that Mr. BERKELEY made it the strongest part of his admirable and really interesting speech on this almost threadbare topic on Tuesday evening ; indeed such stress did he lay upon it, that Mr. S. HERBERT taunted him with almost giving up the Ballot as a preven tive of bribery, and claiming it on behalf of the intimidated only. Mr. HERBERT, if capable of receiving instruction on this subject, had it in abundance before the close of the debate ; but we maintain that it is precisely against this species of political violence that we are most of all bound to protect the voter. It may be impossible to legis late against a female selling her honour for money, but the severest penalties protect her from vio lence. And so, even were it impossible to lessen bribery by the Ballot (which we totally deny), we are bound to prevent the upright voter from being coerced to the shame which others incur for hire. We really think it cruel and heartless banter, and nothing better, for Lord JOHN RUSSELL coolly to. lecture the coerced tenants on suf fering for liberty, as the glorious training for freemen, and to refer them to the ELLIOTS and the SYDNEYS of past times. Why, with such pre cious logic as this, he would, as Leader of the House of Commons in their days, have rather exhorted them to pine in captivity or to bleed on the scaffold, than have moved the House to take instant steps for unlocking the dungeon or arrest ing screw"H the the axe.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, J UNE 18, 1853 free electors from the cruelties which are - to drill them into political heroes. He has the power, therefore, to free them, but he will not. He will join the Tory landlords, and desert the immense majority of his own party, to keep the torturing screw still in the hands of the former. Lord JOHN will become a STUART that we may have ELLIOTS and SYDNEYS again ! This cannot last. His Liberal supporters will not endure it for ever. Ten of the Ministry he belongs to have left him already. Silentlyand sadly, alas ! they left him this time. Next time, we presume, such men as MOLESWORTH, OSBORNE, COCKBURN, and VILLIERS will not be dumb voters. The first has seen the beginning of success in 'his efforts for Colonial Freedom—the last, the almost complete success of his struggles for Free Trade—and both will, no doubt, conjoin their exertions with the ablest men in the House to secure free voting also. The great Liberal party will not continue to support a leader who pleads for " leading men into temptation" rather than delivering them from it. -We look forward with the gloomiest misgivings to a Re form Bill from the hands of a leader whom, on by far the most important question of political re form, 172 Liberals refuse to follow—who would offer the Dockyards disfranchisement, but deny them theßallot—and who, in regard to Education, prefers giving 20,0001. to the Times to emanci pating the Press, and would make Town Councils Rate Collectors for his Central Government Com mittee. ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY. LIVERPOOL. The committee met to-day for the 19th time. Mr. Macaulay proceeded to sum up the evidence which had been adduced during the lengthened investi gation, and will in all probability occupy the entire day. TAUNTON. Several witnesses were examined this morning to prove that bills of 61. and 71. were given to electors to induce them either to give their votes for the sitting members or to keep out of the way. PLYMOUTH-(FURTHER INQUIRY.) This inquiry was again proceeded with this morning, and several instances were adduced in which situations in the dockyard and at other places were promised and obtained for electors who voted for Mr. Mare. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbnrn.) IN RE THOMAS LAMB ATKINSON. This bankrupt was described as of Wood-street, linen warehouseman, and to-day came up on the application of Mr. Lawrence, for an extension of protection. The case was somewhat peculiar, as an adjournment sine die had taken place, the accounts having been prepared on erroneous principles. Mr. Lawrence now said that the accounts had been prepared by a person who evidently did not understand the business, but the matter bad now been placed in the hands of Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, accountants, of considerable experience, and who considered they would be able to complete the accounts in a month. His Honour said there had been much unnecessary delay, and it was for silly persons who required assist ance not to apply to persons competent at first to grant protection. THE KING AND QUEEN OF HANOVER. Yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, the King of Hanover left the residence of the legation to pay a visit to the Queen and Prince Albert, and remained at Buck ingham Palace nearly two hours. On leaving the palace the King visited the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenberg Strelitz, visited the Qaeen of Hanover at the residence of the legation during the morning.. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe also visited her Majesty during the morning. At three o'clock the Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, paid a visit to the Queen of Hanover. The King had returned to the residence of the legation at this time, and was in attend ance to welcome her Majesty. The King, attended by all the members of his suite, dined with her Majesty and the Prince Consort at Buck ingham Palace last evening. The Queen of Hanover remained at the legation throughout the day.

SALE OF THE METROPOLIS Roans.—Yesterday the sale of the metropolis roads north of the Thames, which was adjourned from the 17th of June, in consequence of the greater portion of them not having been disposed of, was resumed and concluded at the office of the commissioners, Whitehall place, the Earl of Lonsdale in the chair. The tolls arising from the Kensington roads, which fetched last year 16,5301., were now offered by the commissioners for 16,0001.; they fetched 16,4401. The Harrow-roads tolls sold or 1,0901. last year ; they fetched 1,160/. The tolls of the Highgate and Hampstead roads went for 18,0101. ; last year they sold for 18,2301. The City-road tolls were knocked down ,for 3,210/. ; last year they realised 3,2401. The above tolls were bought by Messrs. Bolton and Levy. The Kilburn and Edgware roads were sold for 3,9201., the price asked for them being 1,0501. ; the previous year the sum received being 3,9901. The Stamford-hill, the Green-lanes, and the Seven Sisters-roads were disposed of for 8,1401. to Mr. Renbler ; last year they returned 8,197/. 6s. The Marylebone and Finchley tolls the previous year cleared 2,100/. ' • they were offered at 2,0001 ., and were parted with for 2,1101. These and the Kilburn tolls were sold to Messrs. Morris and Bellamy, extensive lessees in Devonshire. The last lot comprised the tolls arising from the New North road. The previous year they produced 830/. ; they were put up at 7501., and were knocked down for 7601. to Messrs. Prome and McNamara, omnibus proprietors, whose omnibuses run on that road. The aggregate amount of the sale was 69,2801. The total last year was 69,0871. The increase arose in con sequence of the excess given for the Tyburn and Ux bridge and the Hackney roads—the former being 4001., and the latter 3901. more than the sum realised the pre vious year. The tolls are let for one year from the Ist of July next. THE STOCKPORT TURN-013T. Everything remains quiet here, the position of parties being very little changed. Nine of the masters, two of them belonging to the Masters' Association, are said to have given the advance ; but the rest held out, and have issued a long address, in which, after reasoning with their hands, they state their intention to remain firm. The operatives in other parts of the labour market for cotton manufacture are combining to assist the Stockport people, with a view to obtaining an advance themselves. NOTTINGHAM, June 16.—Orders for hosiery goods fer the United States continue to Ise received, and these keep those moderately well employed who are engaged in this branch of our local manufactures. The lace trade, however, is anything but satisfactory, and so long as fashion continues as at present, there is not a chance of improvement. The full price of yarn is still maintained, and there is not the most remote appearance of a reduction taking place for a considerable period.---Nottingham Journal. MINING INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Mining Journal of this day.) MINES.-• - - During the early part of the week the de mand for good dividend shares was kept up, and many large purchases made ; but towards the close a few sellers appeared in the market, and prices slightly receded. Some large sales have been made in several speculative mines, but to entice buyers holders were obliged to sub mit to very low rates indeed. It is considered that a judicious selection from some half-dozen or dozen of our most promising progressive mines would, if bought at present low prices, pay the buyers well in a few months, and with this idea many have been looking out for bar gains in Herodsfoot, North Fowey, Uny, West Ding Dong, Pen-y-Qelli, South Towy, Sydney, Orsedd, &c. In the Metal market, the buoyant state still predo minates ; in fact, the general demand exceeds any for mer period, especially in all kinds and sorts of iron, par ticularly rails ; whilst the delivery of Scotch pig exceeds 100,000 tons a month. The price is firm at 525., and some parcels have realised 545. Spelter and copper are in great request ; the former rules at 221. ss. per ton, and the stocks are lessening daily. Lead and tin, although not so freely dealt in, maintain the quotation ; and, owing to the makers of plates abating hands, the market is clearing off at a slight advance. In the Bullion market, Mexican and South American dollars, 4s. 1l d. per oz. Bar silver containing gold, all gold above 5 grains in the pound to he paid for, ss. -1-,d. per oz. standard. .Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. The gold mining shares this week have been, on the whole, firmer. Transactions were, indeed, very re stricted ; but owing to speculators having " beared " such descriptions as bore a high premium, shares gene rally have not been plentiful in the market ; and thus the few purchases which continue to be made by the public have a certain effect. The stock chiefly in de mand has been Agua Fria. The arrivals of gold for the week have been—the Stirlingshire, with six thousand pounds, from Launceston ; the Adelaide, from South Australia, 40,667 ozs.—value 163,0001. ; the Anglesea, from Sydney, with 27,500 ozs. ; and the Waterloo from the same port with 2,900 ozs.—making a total of 30,400 ozs., valued at 121,6001. The Wood bridge, from Geelong, with 10,173 ozs., of the value of 40,7001. ; and the F ann y, f rom A u ckland, with 22 ozs. ; the arrival of this vessel is to be more especially noted, as she brings the first sample of New Zealand gold to the mother country. The latest dates of the prices of gold in Victoria and Sydney were respectively 31. 17s. and 31. 15s. 6d. per oz. With the exception of Great Nuggets, which were at par to prem., the other descriptions of gold mining stock in the colony were solely at par. Two enormous masses of gold in quartz have been discovered, weighing upwards of 176 lbs. troy. The larger mass weighed 93 lbs. 2 oz. 5 dwts., the smaller 83 lbs. 9 oz. 5 dwts. A greater lump has likewise been discovered, weighing 1341 lbs., out of which 120 lbs. is pure gold ; these have been found in Canadian Guley. The differ ence between the diggings at Ballarat and Mount Alex ander is, that in the latter it is finer and more equally diffused ; while in the former it is in larger lumps, and occurs less frequently. A similar difference has been observed between the Turon and Ophir diggings in New South Wales. The price of gold had kept steady at at 765. 3d. to 765. 6d. per oz., and the usual produce of the colony was selling at high rates, whilst the ex change on England had advanced. The increase in the price of gold is to be ascribed to the abundance of specie, arising from the heavy shipments received from England, the increased competition in trade, and the raising of the rate of exchange by the banks, the combined operation of which circumstances almost - annihilates the profit de rivable for exporting gold to this country. In Miscellaneous Shares, the quotations have gene rally shown an improvement, although operations have been moderate. At a special committee of the Stock Exchange, yes terday, it was resolved that the shares in the New Linares Mining and Smelting Company should appear in their official list. The day of settling stands as ap pointed for Tuesday next. OVEULAND MAIL. (BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.) MARSEILLES, SATURDAY MORNING. The East Indian mail has arrived. GREECE. In consequence of the dispute between Russia, and Turkey the visit of King Otho into Germany is postponed. ' • STATE OF TRADE. (From, the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, June 17.—The threatened occupation of the Danubian principalities by a Russian force, and the apprehension that such a measure would be consi dered by the other powers as a cants Belli, continue to exercise a very depressing influence upon our trade. On Tuesday this depression was in some degree re lieved by the apparent probability of a peaceful solution of the question at issue ; and rather more disposition for business showed itself amongst buyers, whilst sellers assumed a firmer tone in maintaining the extreme quo tations of last week, more especially as regards yarns. But ()pillion has again changed ; and recur ring fears are now checking the tendency—slight as it was—to an improved demand. Still, however, though the business is very limited, more is doing than might be expected. There is, however, a latent per suasion in men's minds that war will be avoided, which, in the present bare state of our market, causes producers to feel pretty much at ease about selling. The prevailing conviction is that, but for the dangerous state of politics in the east of Europe, we should now have a higher range of prices in cotton, yarns, and goods ; and that if a peaceful settlement should be speedily effected, a rise must ensue. To this result, so far as yarns and cloths are concerned, the progress of the labour question is evidently contributing ; though as to the raw material, its operation is in the contrary direction. It seems probable that the operatives will succeed in effecting a general limitation of the hours of labour to six o'clock in the evening, and also in securing some advance of wages, though not to the extent of their demands, which in most places appear to be ten per cent. In this town, some extensive spinning firms have agreed to a compromise. The Preston millowners are under notice. At Blackburn certain of the minor hands only have preferred a claim. At Stockport, the em ployers, after taking the average of the cotton district, proposed to add eight per cent, to throstle spinning, and 5 per cent, to mule, leaving the rates for weaving, which are rather above the average, unaltered ; but the hands adhering to 10 per cent. and appearing determined to make that town the battle-ground, all the mills have been closed, with the exception of eight or ten, mostly small concerns. GLASGOW, June 17.—There has been a fair amount of business transacted during the week in our cotton market, and prices have inclined upwards. To-day holders of stock have manifested' increased firmness. BRADFORD, June 16.—Wool—There is no material alteration since our last. The spinners buy very spar ingly—the prices completely put them out of the market. Noils and broker command ready sale. Yarns are more inquired for by the shippers, but their limits, if accepted, would be ruinous to the spinner. For the home trade, • on spools, there is no change in demand or prices. Pieces—The tone is rather more cheerful, but the prices offered are most miserable for plain goods. In fancies there seems an uncertainty as to what will go; robes are looked upon with jealousy for quantity, and caution requires to be exercised.—Bradford Observer. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) The woollen trade of London has been quiet for, moat descriptions, as the dealers are busy taking away their purchases at the late sales. The quantity of wool im ported into London during the week has been 3,000 bales, of which 1,354 were from Van Diemen's Land, 1,407 from Bombay, 'and the rest from Belgium, Ger many, &c. In the Foreign wool trade—the intelligence of the past week in regard to Turkish affairs having been again of an unsatisfactory character—transactions have been rather less freely entered into. Prices, hOwever, have undergone no change. In the English wool market sales have not been ex tensive during the present week, and prices are a shade in favour of the buyer. In the Pontefract wool market there was a larger supply of wool than is usual on the last market day, and a decline in price of ls. per stone. There has been no change .of any importance in the cloth markets this week. About an usual business was done on Saturday, and a rather better tone prevailed in both the Cloth-halls. On Tuesday the coloured market was flat and quiet during the time allotted for holding the market ; but there was a fair quantity of cloth taken out of the hall after the ordinary hour of business, and during the day. There w as a goo d d eman d i n th e White hall for medium and lady cloths, and an active business was done in these descriptions of goods. Several of the most important London and other buyers have been in town during the week, which has improved the trade in the warehouses considerably. There is an average busi ness doing at present in the home trades. The shipping houses, are, we believe, coming to the close of their sea son, and are generally beginning to be rather quiet. HIIDDERSFIELD.—There has been a slight improve ment in the tone of our market this week upon last. Rather more has been ,done generally throughout the trade, but more especially in new patterns, of which they are pretty well bought up ; low qualities in fancies seem to be in pretty good request. More would be done if manufacturers were to concede a little to the merchants' offers, manufacturers saying that the high prices of raw material and labour preclude all possibility of a reduction at present rates. In the hosiery trade of Leicester we have no al teration to report this week. Yarns continue firm. There is but little doing in wools, prices remain the same, and purchasers are holding off until the result of the wool fair is ascertained. DIORAMA OF NAPOLEON'S CAMPAIGNS. —This diorama is perhaps one of the most interesting exhibitions in the metropolis. It exhibits all the chief exploits in the life of this wonderful man, and embraces those startling events which pass over more than a quarter of a century, and produced such varied results to the fortunes of many powers in Europe, and are depicted with perfect truth and faithfulness, commencing at the siege of Toulon ' to the ending his military career on the bloody field of Waterloo. The pictures, 18 in number, are all painted with great force and effect, particularly the " Departure of the Fleet from Toulon," a painting not to be surpassed for artistic skill and truthfulness. The subjects are all illustrated with vocal and instrumental effects, together with an admirable lectnre, by Mr. Stalman a gentleman whose powers of elocution are highly to be commended. HARWICH ELECTION.—The new writ for this borough, ordered on Tuesday night, was received by the mayor on Wednesday, and the election was at once proclaimed to take place on Monday next. Mr. Bagshaw (Liberal), who represented the borough in the last Parliament, but was defeated at the general election, is again a candidate, and'he is to be opposed by Sir William Fraser, the un seated member for Barnstaple, who has been ingratiating himself with the inhabitants for some weeks past. It is rumoured that Mr. Crawford, who contested the seat twice with Mr. Prinsep in 1851, and sat for the borough for a brief period, is again coming down ; but it is hardly likely he will be a candidate, as such a course must in jure the prospects of the Liberal party, the constituency being very evenly balanced. MEDITERRANEAN MAILS.—Last evening the Hadding ton arrived at Southampton with ship mails from the Mediterranean. She left Constantinople on the 28th, and Smyrna on the 31st ult. Her Turkish intelligence has, therefore, been anticipated. A Russian schooner was seen cruising near Zea, in the Greek waters. THE BEEPER POISONING CASE.—The inquiry into this mysterious case was resumed on Thursday, and, after a few hours' consultation, the jury returned the following :—" We return a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown ; and we do this because, though wo think it discloses a case of great suspicion against Samuel Sheldon, we do not think it sufficiently conclusive to warrant our belief of his ultimate conviction." THE MASTER BUILDERS AND THEIR WORKMEN.— On Thursday night (the 16th), the masters met at the Freemasons' Tavern, and came to the determination that they will no t re ceive any deputation from the work men while partial strikes are going . on. The m ee ti ng represented the principal building firms in the metro polis • and their resolve, so far as we can gather, was, that if the present harassment of two or three employers be continued, they will give the men three weeks' notice, and then close all their shops. Messrs. Law rence's men, we should add, have now struck.—The Builder. DISCOVERY OF A SKELETON AT COLCHESTER.—On Monday afternoon, whilst the workmen engaged in repairing the old Borough gaol at the back of the Town-hall (recently damaged by fire) were digging the foundation of a new hall, eight or ten feet within the original building, they came to a skeleton about three feet below the surface. The bones were those of a man between 30 and 40 years old. The skull was crown uppermost, as if the head had been bent for ward from the bole not being of sufficient length, and not 'the slightest trace or remains of either coffin or clothing could be found ; so that the remains are sup posed to be those of the victim of a murder. There are no means of ascertaining the length of time which has elapsed, but from the appearance of the bones it is thought they must have been in the ground at least 80 or 100 years ; during that period the building has been ap plied to a variety of uses, being, at the time of the last war, the town theatre as well as the borough gaol, so that it is impossible to form any conjecture upon the sub j ect. —lpswich, Express. SELECT COMMITTEES.—A Parliamentary return, ob tained by Mr. Ewart, shows that in the session of 1852 the number of members who served on select committees was 230, and the number of members who served on no select committees was 424. Mrs. Wokie . (late Miss Russell), who created so great a sensation at Miss Greenfield's concert, is a pupil of Signor Crivelli, under whose able tuition she remained four years. This accomplished singer gave a German song of Proch's with a charm seldom wit nessed. We are happy to inform our readers that Crivelli has quite recovered from his late indisposition. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken for ex port and on speculation. The market closed steadily, with fair general demand. Railway Shares were steady. Except that the public deposits are declining, instead of increasing, as they invariably do at this period of the quarter, there is nothing in the Bank of England weekly return, madunp to the 11th instant, to lead to the con clusion that the Corporation acted discreetly in raising its terms of discount. A glance at the comparative statement subjoined will prove, indeed, that its business fell off in consequence, and there are the further signifi cant illustrations of a diminished note circulation, an in creased amount of specie, a falling off in the loans, and an unusually large addition to the private deposits. Money therefore is obviously not scarce out of doors, while the sum abstracted from the Government balances if applied to support the market for the unfunded debt, has saved so much interest and can be obtained upon de ficiency bills when required, supposing the opportunity of selling Exchequer Bills in the open market has not, in the meanwhile, occurrrd, as is probable, considering they rule at a premium. The return deserves careful atten tion, and we leave impartial persons to decide whether the Bank had much cause for affright when it recently advanced its rate of discount. The comparison with the previous week is as follows : Active circulation.. Decrease 340,355 Bullion 18,479,515 Increase 225,581 Rest Increase 5,399 Public Deposits 3,737,044 Decrease Other Deposits Increase Seven-day and other Bills 1,332,238 Decrease 57,785 Government Securities 13,124,910 Increase 257 Other Securities 14,264,232 Decrease 386,127 Notes unemployed 8,907,983 Increase The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon shoWed a slight tendency to advance. On the principal Continental cities bills were taken as follows :—Paris 25 25 to 27i ; Antwerp 25 271 to 30 ; Amsterdam 11181 to 19 ; Ham burg 13 81 to 8/ ; Frankfort 120 k to 1208, and Trieste 11 to 11 4. The shipment of gold coin from London direct dur ing the week to Thursday last, was 14,817 ounces and 1,0001., and of silver 19,8000 ounces and 1,2811. The English Funds are steady, with very little doing, in the absence of any later important news. Consols have been quoted 981 to I, and the New 31 per Cents. have been done at 1011 Bank Stock has been firm at 228 to 229. Exchequer Bills are 3s to 6s. premium. Foreign Stocks are very quiet. Mexican Bonds have been 281 I—a slight decline. Equador are steady at 6. Brazilian Five per Cents, have been marked 101. Spanish New Deferred Bonds have been quoted 231. The Swedish Loan is at 11 dis. There are no bargains in Russian. Dutch and Belgian Securities are very firm. Railway Shares have been nominally at about pre vious rates. There is scarcely any business doing in them. French Shares are better within the last half hour. The Gold Mine Shares ar© nominal, and also the Land Companies and Banks, but generally steady.
