THE WAYTO WIN—To win affections, to win fume, to win a fortune by industry or by business transac tions—in fact, to win without risk or inconvenience—ls one of the happiest events on which we can calculate. Every one is aware of the power which appearance has in gaining the most desirable ob jects, and every person convinced that success is often decided by the garments In which they are arrayed. "PROPERLY DRESSED," " VERY RESPECTABLY ATTIRED," aro the most prominent parts of an interesting description. Thus the CLOTHING BUSI NESS is the first and toremost in the circle of trade, and on its right management the success and comfort of millious in an important measure depends. Therefore, an tasteless, comfortless, and fashion less CLOTHING is an infliction on the patience and pockets of the public. But E. MOSES and SON have won universal and ceaseless fame by business transactions beneficia Ito every class—for the NOBLEMAN every order of ATTIRE required, or for his servants LIVERIES to any design—for the MERCHANT, CLERK, or MECHANIC, the best and most suitable, and at the same time the cheapest, goods are presented. The Holiday Dress for Youths and others provided by E. MOSES and SON exhibits novelty in Materials and magnificence in Style and Workmanship, which has no parallel ht this or any other country, and, as usual, the prices are much lower than are charged elsewhere. 'lle Hosiery Goode, for Ladies and Gentlemen are, the newest, the best, and most fashionable articles which have been produced. Hats and Caps in every variety for the season, in which superior quality and cheapness will again win the approbation of all purchasers A magnificent stock of Boots and Shoes, not to be equalled in any respect by all other houses combined. E. MOSES and SON, Aldgate and 31inories, and New Oxford street, corner of Hart-street. The Emigrant's right course Is to get a good Ship and a good stock of suitable Clothing: the former is required for his safety, and the latter for his comfort and success. A good Ship may be had in most places, but a good Outfit only in one Establishment--that is, E. MOSES and SON'S. Shipping informatiOn is furnished without any charge, and Outfits are speedily arranged for any profession and cocupaVon for considerably less money than others charge, and at the same time the articles are better in quality than any obtained elsewhere. An outlay at E. MOSES and SUN'S is productive of cosiderable profit to Emigrants, and occestons less inconvenience inn sale than any other kind of goods. A separate department is kept for Emigrants. Full Lists of Outfits for Ladles and Gentlemen may be had on applicatton, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesinan-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., Sce. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the 'various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting trona juvenile irregularities and excesses, `ditch have pro laced more misery In youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any of her class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, ti r which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and "Unthiltfld Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weal mess, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is 'absolutely necessary that all men should knc w that there are principles of personal management which cannot be 'violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness n •ay be removed, and how the evil and its con-equences may be avoidet , and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmitv or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cameo t apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of tile taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the unq ualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, o lica l tions, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended 'virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishin to consult Dr. LAWERT should first obtain a copy of his work ong SELF-PRESERVATION.

The proceedings of the French Legislative As semblies have acquired a degree of interest within the last few days which has astonished the public and annoyed the Imperial Government. For the first two months of the annual session the State Ball given to the Court was the only Parliamentary occurrence of the season, and Count Montalembert observed, in a caustic letter on that entertainment, that it was the first time the tribune of a Legis lature had been turned into an orchestra of musi cians. But, even on the short rations of the Im perial constitution, some . business remained to be transacted. The budget was to be voted, some railroads were to be authorised, and some changes in the law to be 'adopted. It became necessary to prolong the session for a fortnight, and at the same time the Emperor notified his intention of allow ing each' member an extra donation of 50/. for his additional attendance. This closing fortnight has done all the mischief. Placed between the neces sity of voting a number of discreditable laws with out examination, and the danger of thwarting the intentions of the Government, the Assembly hesi tates ; and even those persons who have hitherto accepted every degradation which it was in the power of Louis Napoleon to confer seem suddenly to remember that their country was once free, and that they themselves were the members of an in dependent Assembly. The first blow aimed at the Government was given by M. de Montalembert, who protested with great energy in committee against the introduction into the public ac counts adopted by the Chamber of sums de rived from the spoliation of the Orleans family. Shortly afterwards a bill came on for the re gulation of Civil Pensions, which was carried by a majority of only 32, uo less than 98 mem bers of the Legislature having the courage to vote against it. A vote was demanded for a sum of 12,0001. to be paid to the widow of Marshal Ney,- as an indemnity for the pension to which she was entitled from 1815 to 1830. This propo sition proved exceedingly unpopular, and is gene rally regarded as an ill-disguised expedient to pay some of the debts of a person who has very little claim to such a favour. Accordingly, it is believed that the committee to which this vote stands re ferred will refuse to make any report at all, and leave the matter to drop. A more serious question and a more positive opposition has been raised by the proposal to restore the articles of the Penal Code which inflicted capital punishment on all at tempts against the person of the Sovereign or the existing form of Government. It seems incredible that the man who causes snch a measure to be brought forward should be the same who ought twice, if that law had been in force, to have lost his life on the scaffold. The repugnance of this age to sanguinary punishments, the long and painful experience which has habituated the French to revolutionary changes, and the cle mency both of the Constitutional and Republican Governments, had gradually suspended and at last effaced those articles from the Code. Had it been otherwise the attempt at Strasbourg, the attempt at Boulogne, and even the coup d'etat of the 2d of December might all have been pun ished as capital offences. It certainly denotes, more than common indifference to the notions of retributive justice that Louis Napoleon should be tray his readiness to inflict on others the blow he has so often escaped himself. So strongly was this felt in the legislative body that one of his own adherents, M. de Mesonan—an officer who was tried and convicted for taking part in the Boulogne .. expedition—declared that he could not support the Government bill, seeing that be owed his life to the mitigation of the punishment. The committee named to report on this proposition is for the most part adverse to it, and it is hoped it may still be modified or rejected. It is not, however, by these formidable weapons of despotic power that Louis Nopoleon seeks chiefly to maintain his authority. On the contrary, the absolute power of such a government as his depends far more on the means by which it insinuates itself into every detail of local and domestic life ; and these are carried to such an extent, that if this state of things subsists for a few years, nothing will be beyond the control of the State. Some curious in stances of this policy have recently occurred. The clearances made in Paris for the purpose of con tinuing the Rue de Rivoli from the Louvre to the Hotel de Ville, and of erecting the new markets, have swept away a very large number of houses in the most densely-peopled quarter of the capital. The consequence is that 30,003 or 40,000 persons, chiefly of the working classes, have been compelled to find other lodgings, which are not to be got without going to a great distance and paying a high price for bad accommodation. To meet the just complaints of these persons the Government pro poses to build lodging-houses on a large scale, in which the poor will find everything they want ex-. cept liberty and independence. These establish ments, being under the direct control of the State, will of course place their tenants in immediate and total dependence on it. They will abolish, as far as their influence extends, the self-reliance which is the guardian of domestic life, and they will weaken in the same proportion the springs of ac tivity and independence. In a word, this experi ment will be the nearest approach yet made to the schemes of Louis Blanc, and it is characteristic of the Imperial Government that, after having robbed France of her liberty by the fear of Socialism, Socialist institutions are now Vroduced to strengthen the hold of absolute authority. The same species of influence is extended over the towns and provincial bodies. Everywhere building has been encouraged on an enormous p scale, eerinttys and lbvTuhoiilcdh for i the most part at the public expense, because it i s th oug ht b y th e G o v e rnment that in cessantntg executeies pf a strongeestes buildings sign have b o e f general eann d im orderedr p o r v o te n as I o promote with great zeal, a large number of the d.ebt—some of them toa o large amount. liabilities are not only a burden on their re run sour ii c towns and municipalities f F • have These ietso but; an effectual check on their independence, for they are driven t o seek assistance from the Government, and the Government performs the offico and acquires the power o lender, But, in order to meet thefseademmoannedlys, the to the institutions m the Government itself has 'recourse onacieers, it has foundedunder of the Credit Mobilier and Credit Fn which have a power of is • Ming very large amounts of paper bearing Interest. -A bill has ac- cordingly been brought in to facilitate loans of this description to public bodies, whether on the secu rity of real property or of local taxation, and it is probable, in the present condition of the country, it. will pass into law. It is hard to say whether such a bill is politically or economically objectionable. Politically, it places every portion of the territory which has borrowed, or wantsto borrow from the State, in more strict dependence on its will, and it encourages in the highest degree that profusion which every honest Government ought to check by precept and example. Economically, it connects the whole fortune and property of the country with . two great establishments o f cre dit, w hi c h are themselves of very recent date and of questionable stability for, if the time should ever arrive at which those institutions cannot hold their ground —their own captital being extremely small in proportion to their gigantic operations—they must fall back on the Government for support, and the Government can only, give them that support by making their paper issues a legal and inconvertible tender. . By thi s su btl e but inse cure machinery, the Imperial Government seeks to enclose everytlnng in its grasp, and to subdue everything to its will. But the dream of universal monarchy which haunted Nap o l eon I. i s n ot more illusory than the schemes of domi n io n which are thus practised by'his nephew, for they are repug nant to the laws of public economy and of human nature itself, and it may be foreseen that every one of these mischievous undertakings will one day rise up in judgment on its inventors. time of the consequences which will follow the now too certain failure of the new stocks. We shall have first the disappearance of nearly one-fourth of the estimated surplus of the year, and, secondly, we have the still more pleasant prospect of the withdrawal of 7,000,0001. or 8,000,000/. of money which the nation has generally been in the habit of keeping as a cash balance at the Bank. Cheering results, no doubt, of the fiat ()say at finance of the Cabinet of unrivalled administrative ability ! THE EASTERN QUESTION. ( From the Morning Post.) We published at an early hour yesterday, infor mation calculated seriously to disturb the alleged tranquil state of the Eastern question. - The same authority which lately startled Europe by an nouncing the near extinction of one of its estab lished Powers has been pleased still more recently to retrace its steps, and to inform the world that the whole Eastern question, in its present bearings, was limited to the moderate desires of Russia, and settled by the wise concessions of Franco on the subject of the Holy Shrines. Both statements prove to be equally untrue. It has for some time been made evident that the Great Powers, by whom the independence of Turkey is guaranteed, are by no means prepared to allow its dismember ment. It is now equally clear that the formidable mission of Prince Menschikoff had objects in view far more important than the etiquette of pilgrimage, the custody of a key, or the restoration of a cupola. The real demand of the Great Northern Power, translated out of the diplomatic tongue into Eng lish, is the ratification of a treaty securing to Russia a paramount influence over all the Chris tian subjects—that is to say, over the great mass of the population of European Turkey. The Emperor of Russia asks in terms to be in vested with the protectorate of the whole body of the Greek Church in Turkey. In effect, he requires to be placed in a position through which his au thority would overshadow and eclipse that of the Porte on all points of internal discipline in which Christian interests—that is to say, the affairs of the greater part of the people—should be concerned. The concession by the Divan of the points which would be fixed by the proposed treaty would amount to virtual abdication of its independence as a sovereign State. It would change, by a simple arrangement between an encroaching Power and a submissive neighbour, the entire commercial and political system of Europe as framed, agreed on, and guaranteed by the directing Cabinets for mu tual convenience and security. It would be a re versal by two Courts, of - which one is not a free agent, of a state of things in the maintenance of which the honour as well as the interests of Eng land, France,, and Austria are equally concerned with those of Russia and of the Porte. This final demand of Prince Menschikoff is, in short, one which the Cabinet of Petersburg should not have made, and which the Divan cannot concede with out the full consent of the Great Powers. The fact that a demand so formidable now appears as the point of debate in the East materially alters the position, not of the Eastern question only, but of England as regards that question. So long as tho matter in dispute or discussion was merely that of the respective claims of the Greek and Latin Churches to certain privileges of -guardianship over the Holy Places, the representatives of those Churches, Russia and France, were alone concerned in any steps which might be taken, and in ar rangements which might be concluded on this narrow point of diplomacy. We were convinced, however, from the first, that Russia had not wasted such extensive preparations as those which accompanied the mission to Constantinople, on an object so easily settled as that at first put forward as its purpose and aim. It was just possible that the force displayed and the threats embodied in armaments, .by the great Power of the North, might have been merely intended as a demonstra tion of an absolute supremacy which there was, as yet, no intention practically to exercise. The Sultan being thoroughly humiliated in his own dominions—the Turkish Christians being strongly warned of the quarter to which they were to look as their hope and protector—and this being effected without giving any fair cause of umbrage to the Allied Powers, it was not altogether unlikely that, with the settlement of the discussion between the Churches, and the exhibition of power for which it served as a pretence, the object of Prince Men schikoft's mission might be achieved, and his duty at an end. Such is not the fact, and the further demands of the Russian Minister place the question in nearly the same threatening aspect which it bore when we first announced the singular and ominous The details of the case, asas it actually stands, will be found in our Paris correspondence of to-day, and the circumstances are such as must render the nature of the next intelligence to be ex pected from Constantinople a matter of very grave interest and anxiety. It will be re marked that it was on the sth instant that the Prince sent in to the Divan the demand to which we have already referred, and that lie re quired the answer—that is say, we presume, the signature of the Porte to the treaty with which ho was entrusted within five days from that date— namely, by the 10th. Our latest advices from Constantinople being of the 7th, we are still unin formed as to the reception by the Divan of the insult and menace levelled at its sovereignty by Russia. The answer given must clearly be that not of the Porte alone, but of the representatives of the three Powers by whom, in common with Russia, the in dependence of Turkey is guaranteed. The integ rity of the last-named State is a trust solemnly placed in the hands of the parties to the treaty of 1841, and, except with the consent and by the common agency of those parties, it cannot be de stroyed or tampered with. The independence and nationality of Turkey are not merely Russian or Turkish, but are European questions. No one of the Cabinets which stand pledged by treaty to the maintenance of the present state of things can carry out by itself, for its own views and by its own separate provisions, any act by which that independence and nationality are compromised. But it is plain, that to establish within the Turkish Empire a foreign paramount jurisdiction, such as that intended by the Menschikoff treaty,- to wsbo subjects. onbeaujc: which thu b s e : nit TurkeyThothet hai m sseno a e avb r e enrtl Sultan,heeyi t an i o t t c oy o nu m l 0 ofdpf Europeantre hishor me therri s r iuegr, Powerskitreatiestso but vi sae together, oi s hl o e l rs u e o t ef therefore n y has no right t o conc l u d e .

We are assured that the French Government goes in this, as in other matters, heartily with us. We know, fur ther, that Austria is far from being anxious to lend herself to the increase of the influence and dominating position of her great rival in the East. Under such circumstances there can be little doubt that a strong and proper resistance will be opposed to the attempted encroachment of Russia on Turk ish independence ; and relying, as we have good reason to do, on the sagacity of a Monarch who has shown himself not less wise and able in retreat than energetic and audacious in enterprise, wo must hope that a project so objectionable and threatening as that entrusted to Prince Menschi koff for the establishment of a supreme Russian protectorate within the Turkish Empire, will not be carried to such extremes as might involve very serious consequences to the present friendly and cordial relations of the European Powers. TIIE ROYAL ARMS OF SCOTLAND.—It appears from a communication, received in acknowledgment of the peti tion from Brechin regarding the erroneous quartering of the Royal Arms of Scotland, that the subject has been remitted to the English College of Heralds for examina tion. In consequence of this a letter has been addressed to Lord Palmerston by one of the gentlemen who origi nally moved in the matter, showing that the College of Heralds is an English court, and has therefore no power to order the Royal Arms to be displayed,either one way or another in Scotland ; and further, that no court but the Lyon Court of Scotland has authority to adjudicate in the question. His lordship is also reminded that many of the burgh petitions forwarded to Lord-Eglinton specially prayed for the remission of this matter to our Lyon Court ; this was also requested in the petition from the general convention of Royal burghs, now in his lordship's hands.—Scottish, Press. ' MARKED SALMON.—On Wednesday se'nnight, there was caught in a salmon net on the Red Head, near this, a salmon with a gutta-percha band around it, on which was marked, "Athole, 170." The fish weighed 121 lbs ; length, 38! inches; girth, 22 inches. On the following (Thursday) morning, another salmon was caught in the same net, marked "Athole, 165." The last-mentioned fish was greatly deformed. It weighed 1311bs. ; mea sured in length 38 inches, and in girth 17 inches. From the fact of two of the fish having been caught in the same net within so short a space of time intervening, it is probable they had left Loch Tay, in the Athole property, in company. Both fish were in very bad condition, and unhealthy,—Montrone Review. THE BUDGET AND, THE MONEY MARKET. ( From the Morning Herald.) We have anxiously waWied the proceedings in the Money Market- as to the 'dealings with Mr. Glad stone's fantastical stock. Our readers will perhaps .do us the justice to recollect- *atm() predicled the . - failure of this somewhat crochetty scheme, in which that eccentric gentleman proposed to lessen the burden of, the . National Debt by enabling the pub lic creditor to alter his demand from one species of security to another as and when it suited his own interest and answered his own purpose. We pointed out the broad and glaring difference be tween this conversion and every similar operation that preceded it. Upon all former occasions the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the agent of the public, came to the public creditor, and said, " I offer you certain terms ; if you do not agree to them we must cease our dealings ; here is your money, and we are quits." Mr. Gladstone's proposal is the first in stance in the history of British finance in which the public creditor has been dealt with except by an offer, the refusal of which was to be followed by the payment of his debt.. To propose to the owner of stock either to stay as he is, or to substitute his present security for another, exactly as he pleases, may be a very liberal thing to that owner, but seems, after all, au odd way of benefiting the debtor. To complicate the transaction by offering him three options is only one of those efforts of elaborate trifling by which transparent folly endea vours to disguise itself under the cloak of solemn mystification. Common sense is perfectly sufficient to tell any man that the person who holds a security upon the national resources will only change that security for something else because he thinks that something else is something better than that which you ask him to give up. If you offer him an equivalent, he will, in all probability, make no change ; although in this case the love of novelty may induce some speculators to accept a new form of investment. But it is quite manifest that if you ' attempt to benefit the public by offering him that which is not an equivalent—and this is the only way in which the public can be gainers in the transaction, we apprehend—it needs no very deep skill in finance to predict that even that very gullible animal, the public creditor, will not be quite so simple as to accept your obliging offer. We urged these considerations while the whimsical bill of .Mr. Gladstone was paSSing through Parlia ment with a rapidity, and, after all, an absence of determined opposition, which, to those who have watched Parliamentary measures, was a feature in itself sufficient to create strong suspicion that the measure was something peculiarly ill-advised. We anticipated, indeed, from the passing of the bill no very great extent of mischief, because the operation was at best but a small one, and we never had any very serious apprehension that even small as it was the experiment would succeed. We had not the perfect confidence or the gullibility of the fund holder which the Chancellor of the Exchequer seemed to entertain ; and although oven on the Stock Exchange wo knew that some old children might be caught by the navelt3r-of a new toy-, we had a very strong impression that Mr. Gladstone's financial plaything would occupy that place in the list of British stock to which might be added the comment " more .for ornament than use." The only real evil of the enactments was, that it tended in some degree to discredit the whole system of our finance. It does•not become the economy of a great nation to play little tricks with the petty portion of an enormous debt. The " three courses" of the Chancellor of the Exchequer are, however, now fairly before the stock-holding public, and for so far the most san guine friends of the right 'honourable gentleman must confess they have been three failures. The insignificant amount taken in any of the new stocks is not more than in this age of bold specula tion any project gravely recommended by a Chan cellor of the Exchequer would be sure to com mand. It may be said that if the project fails, no harm is done. The measure is simply inoperative, and to the extent to which it is inoperative it can do no harm. In one sense, we doubt this is true. Nevertheless, it is also true that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has so complicated his calculations of the success of this project with his general finan cial arrangements that there are serious incon veniences likely to follow its failure which it may not be amiss thus early to point out. In the first place let us advert to that which we believe to be the lesser inconveniences we antici pate. It will be recollected that Mr. Gladstone's calculations present the prospect of a very s mall surplus on the estimates of the yea r . He has cal culated a surplus of little more than 400, 000 /. But of that surplus 100,0001. is composed of the item of saving in the interest of the National Debt to be effected by the now financial arrangements. Since his financial statement he has consented to a provision that all the saving on the Two-aud - a - Half per Cents. is to form a sinking fund for the redemption of the debt. Ho will certainly be a very bold man who will say that it is now. for sufficient of the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock and the Exchequer Bonds to be taken t o realise the estimated saving of 100,000/, upon t he interest. possible _ _ _ It is not only, let us say, that the disappearance of the best part of 100,0001. from a surplus so small as 400,000/. is in itself a matter of some moment in the calculations of the year ; but a miscalcula tion of resources thus early detected is very well adapted to shake our confidence in the more ab struse and more questionable calculations upon which the residue of the surplus depends. We shall not, WO confess, be surprised at the end of the year to find that residue as imaainary as the saving on the interest of the debt, and that for the first time since 1841 our expenditure shall have exceeded our income on the sth of April, 1854. There is another result of the failure of this scheme—a result now, we fear, too manifest to need much sagacity to predict. 'Mr. Gladstone, it will be remembered, has pos itively pledged the faith of the nation to pay off 10,000,000/. in hard cash of the South Sea and other si milar stocks, in case the holders of that stock wi ll not a g ree t o accept of some one of the newly - c reated securitie s instead. With this amount of th e National Deb t he is dealing on the old compulsory principle of offering the creditor his money if he will not accept the new terms. But so confident was he that the new stock would be accepted, that he made no provision, in case it should not, for the raising the ten millioni by a new loan. The holders of the South Sea Stock are not accepting, and they are not at all likely to accept, the new stocks. The result, therefore, will be that Mr. Gladstone must, at the expiration of his notice, be pre p ared with the best part of 10,000,000 o f sovereigns t o pay them off. Mr. Gladstone tells us, indeed, that he can use the balances at the Exchequer for that purpose, that is, that the nat ion has generally lying at the Bank of England a cash balance of about 8,000,0001. or 9,000,0001., which he can use if these stockholders obstinately insist upon their money. That a very large proportion of them will so insist we fear is now too evident. Seriously to propose withdrawing the whole of the national balance from the Bank of England for the purpose of paying off this debt would be, independent of all other con siderations, t o derange the monetary dealings of the Bank f England, and, therefore, of the coun try, to an extent which, at a time of commercial difficulty, would be ruinous, and which, ev en i n the present supply of gold, would involve conse quences too serious to be risked.

This steamer left St. Thomas on the 3d inst., having been detained there nearly two days be yond the proper date of departure by the irregu larity of some of the iiitercolonial packets, which are unable to perform the branch routes at the stipulated speed. The run to Southampton has occupied a little under 15 days. The Orinoco did not complete her voyage to Jamaica, having pro ceeded only to St. Thomas, one of the smaller steamers having been dispatched thence. She coisequently remained about a fortnight at St. Thomas, and there, it appears; some of the crew contracted the yellow fever, 14 cases of which have occurred on the voyage home, two terminating fatally—viz., H. Duncan, a fireman, who fell a victim to the disease on the sth, and James Duke, scullion, on the 7th inst. Some convalescent cases are likewise reported. The ship, on her arrival this morning, was visited by Mr. Wiblin and Dr. Harvey, the quarantine and deputy-quarantine officers, and, a report of the circumstances having been made to the Collector of Customs, that gen tleman communicated with the Surveyor-General of Quarantine in London, who sent telegraphic instructions for the release of the vessel from the temporary detention to which she had been sub jected. From Jamaica we have advices fo the 27th of April. The chief item of intelligence for the fort night was the rejection by the Council of the Im port Duty (the principal revenue act of the colony), and the consequent prorogation of the Assembly, and commencement of a new session of the Colonial Legislature. A dissolution of the House was an ticipated. great excitement prevailed in Kingston on the 25th of April in consequence of a discovery having been made that two coloured men, escaped slaves, were on board a steamer named El Paraguay, bound from Charleston to Monte Video, which had put into Kingston for the purpose of coaling. We extract the following brief account of the matter from the Daily Advertiser : " It appears that two young men of colour, slaves, had secreted themselves on board the American steamer Paraguay, previous to her leaving Charleston. Some time after the steamer had been at sea the fugitives were discovered, and, on being interrogated, declared them selves to be free men, on which they were allowed to work on board. Yesterday a great number of persons visited the vessel, when the facts of the case leaked out through the steward, who, it is said, was in the secret. Upon the matter reaching the authorities, Mr. Inspector Leake and one of his subordinate officers proceeded on board, and brought the two young men ashore, when they were examined before the magistrates and dis charged. The fugitives have consequently obtained their freedom. Since then, we learn that the steward has obsquatulated '—to employ a term common enough in the Southern States. In this he has manifested much wisdom. Better this than be subjected to the shocking penalties of the atrocious slave code of South Carolina. Since the above transaction, persons from shore have been strictly prohibited by the commander of the Para guay from visiting the vessel." The Morning Journal says--so dense was the (crowd that thronged the entrance to the Court- House when the examination was about to com mence, that the hose of the Kingston Water Com pany was put in requisition, and was effectual in dispersing the people. One of the most unmistakeable signs of the times in connexion with Jamaica was the depar ture of the ship Glentanner, for Australia, with upwards of 100 emigrants, principally belonging to the substantial middle class. Several ships had also sailed for Calcutta with hundreds of coolies on board. Many of these people were still receiving the bounty money of 101. as an inducement to re main. Discoveries of copper were still being made in different parts of the island. This useful metal was said to have been found in the parishes of St. James and Hanover at a considerable distance from the localities of discoveries that had been already made. The weather was excellent, with alternate gentle showers and sunshine. Yellow fever was still rather prevalent in Kingston, particularly among the shipping. There had been no revival in trade. The sugar crop was fast drawing to a close on the north side of the island, where the yield had fallen short of the estimate ; but in Trelawny and St. Thomas, in the east, the crop will be an average one ; and in St. Anne's the pro spects of the pimento growers were encouraging. In the coffee districts of Port Royal the fields were covered with blossoms, promising well for the ensuing year. Considerable regret prevailed at the withdrawal of the Government supervision of the Customs' revenue of the island. The change from the Imperial. Board of Customs, to local manage ment was looked upon with some distrust. Our accounts from British Guiana are to the . 25th ult. The Session of the Combined Court had terminated, and general satisfaction prevailed at the moderation and good sense which had charac terised the proceedings of both the official and elective sections of the court, and at the adoption of various measures of great importance to the colony. _ _ Tli© Barhadoes papers announce the approaching opening of a savings -bank in that colony. Several fires had occurred in the rural districts. The pro ceedings of the Legislature were unimportant. Nine months' leave of absence had been given to the President of the Council on account of ill-health. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From de Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) The Import Duty Bill, as was generally anticipated, has been rejected by the Council, and everything con nected with the subject is now entirely a matter of spe culation. The Governor has prorogued the House of Assembly for a short period, and has thus afforded the members of that body another opportunity of dealing with the money bills ; but whether they will take ad vantage of the concession to render the Import Duty Bill acceptable to the other branches of the Legislature by expunging the appropriation clauses, or whether they will adhere to the principle contained in the pre% . ,ous act, is a subject s• much involved in doubt and uncer tainty as to prevent our hazarding any opinion on it. As the natural consequence of this state of things, business has become paralysed ; no one will purchase to any extent at the risk of being exposed, in the course of eight or tell days, to competition, with goods entering free of all duties ; even retail transactions are with diffi culty effected ; and, in the meantime, supplies of perishable articles are deteriorating in value.

Since the publication of the foregoing, on the 20th inst., our market has remained in the prostrate condition noted in the preceding general remarks.

Halsted, was inspected . yesterday by Sir William Burnett, director general of the medical department of the navy. Sir William most carefully examined every pat t of this ill fated ship, and was pleased to express the highest satis faction at her cleanly and excellent state. This day her engine department was officially inspected by Commander Gardner, of the Blenheim, 58, whose favourable acknow ledgment of the gratifying state of the engines must have been pleasing to the much-respected chief engineer, Mr. Burt, who joined the Dauntless in December last from the Devastation, and who continued his duties on board daily during the time of the dreadful fever that hurried many a good fellow to an untimely grave. We believe the Dauntless's engines will be taken out and placed on board the St. Jean d'Acre, as they are exceed ingly powerful, knd better calculated for the larger ship. Commander Von Dollop, of the Vulcan screw troop frigate, has all his crew returned except four, and two or three boys. The Sanspareil, 71, Captain S. C. Dacres was visited yesterday by Commander-in-Chief Sir Thomas Cochrane, at Spithead. 'hie First Lord of the Admiralty has been on a visit at Osborne the last two days. Yesterday evening the Fairy, with Prince Albert on board, ran through the squadron at Spithead, and came into harbour to witness the effects of the Excellent's practice on the York hull. The Star, 8, Commander Warren iwas paid advance, at Spithead, yesterday. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent crossed over to Cowes, from Southampton, this afternoon, in the Royal yacht Fairy. SHEERNESS, MAY 18. The Cyclops, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Lieute nant John Seccomb e i n comman d ( pro tem. from Horatio) arrived here yesterday at noon from Devonport, and immediately took in her harbour moorings on the west shore. Her officers and crew are to be returned forth with to the Horatio screw steam guardship. The officers and crew of the Horatio, 24, screw steam guard-ship have received their orders for being turned over to the Tribune, 30, screw steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie having already com missioned that frigate at Woolwich as reported. The Tribune is shortly expected 'here to complete her fit ment. The-Marines Dave joined the Comus, 14, sloop, Corn mander William A. Fellowes, and are employed in assist lug the seamen already joined. Her fore and main rigging is being set up, and in a few days she will be in a for ward state, her rigging being all ready for sending aloft and placing. WOOLWICH, MAY is. APPOINTMENT.

The paymaster and clerk, with the warrant officers at present in the Horatio, will remain in her, another pay master and another clerk having been appointed to the Tribune. The Phoenix, screw steam-sloop, Commander Edward A. Inglefield, had her compasses adjusted yesterday, and having completed her magnetical and astronomical ob servations at Greenhithe, left that station at half-past four o'clock :al. to-day. The Diligence, store-ship, Lieutenant -Commander El liott, with stores for the Arctic expedition, left Green hithe in about an hour after the Phcenix, and was towed by the Desperate, steam-sloop, Captain Chambers. The Breadalbane will join the other vessels of the squadron at the Nore, and she will be towed by the Bar racouta, steam-sloop, to Stromness. SINGULAR, AFFAIR IN PARIS. A strange affair was on Saturday submitted to the Civil Tribunal. The facts of it were these : M. Danloux-Dumesnil, a retired notary, living in the Rue de Lo n d res , rece i ved in 1851 the visit of an elderly female, rather me an ly d ressed, who, after having asked his name and stated that hers was Mdlle. Baslin, said that she was charged to pre sent hint with a small parcel. She then produced some papers, wrapped up in a sheet of the Petites Ai/Ickes, and opening them showed that they con tained sixty-two bank notes of 1,000 francs each. M. Danloux asked where the money came from, who sent it, why it was brought to him, and a number of other questions, but the only reply the female gave was, " It is yours ' • you may safely t a k e it !" and when he hesi tated she threatened to throw the notes out of the window. At length, as he was just about to leave on a journey with his family, he proposed that he should see her on his return. She consented, and, taking up the. parcel said, " You see there is written on it This belongs to M. Danloux-Dumesnil, ex-notary." If I die before you return, send to my residence, 10. Rue de Sartine, and the parcel w ill b e g i ven to you !" On his return he went to the address indicated, and found to his surprise that his strange visitor occupied a very mean lodging. Sho again pressed him to accept the 62,000 f., and he, on his part, required an explanation why they were offer e d t o him. "If it be a restitution," said he "though I do not remember having been defrauded of 62,000 f., I will not ask you for a complete confidence, but will be satisfied if you can find any honourable person to assure me that I may honourably accept the sum you offer. Do you know any notary or advocate who could give me such an assurance ?" " None." " Have you a con fessor ?" Do you know the cure of your parish, or any priest ?" "No ;Igo to mass on Sundays, but do not confess--I have no confidence in priests." M. iDan loux went away without accepting the money, and resolved, from the mystery, which hung over the affair, to occupy himself no more about it. Nothing further occurred until last month, when a gentle man dressed in black waited on him, and in very cautious terms reminded him of the present which Mdlle. Baslin had wished to make him. Although the visitor seemed anxious to say little, and find out as ;much as lie could what M. Danloux thought of the affair, le let out that Mdlle. Baslin was dead, and that M. Chatelain, a notary, was charged to wind up her affairs. M. Danloux went to M. Chatelain, and learned from hint that Mdlle. Baslia had left a fortune of about 800,000 f., and a parcel bearing the inscription above mentioned, with the 62,000 f. in it. 11. Danloux now thought that he might reasonably take the money, and ho demanded it. But the heirs of the deceased, one of whom was the gentl eman w h o had waited on him re fused to pay it, on the ground that he could prove that he had no clai m t o i t. He therefore applied to the tribunal to orde r th a t t h e money should be given to him. The heirs on their part demanded that it sh ou ld b e de- Mdlle. Baskin.

REFINEUENT IN THE FEATHERED RACE.—A few days ago a bird's nest was discovered in the pleasure ground of Earl Manvers, at Thore , sby-park, composed: of the following materials, viz.:—A lady's cap, a collar, a habit shirt, and a quantity of lace, amounting in value to 165., the whole being interwoven with twigs, and bits of hay and moss, and not at, all injured.
