Parliament must hearken to the statement promised by Lord JOHN MANNERS, in reference to King OTBO'S government, or rather to King OrHo's mis government. Her MAJESTY'S Minister for Foreign Affairs must be vigilant as to the movements of the Greek Cabinet. England must be watchful, or the Athenian Legislature will become so plunged into difficulties, as to complicate still more fatally the already complicated relations of the European prin cipalities. Ever since her separation from Turkey Greece has presented a woeful spectacle of legislative imbecility. It has been the political shuttlecock of Russian avarice and French ambition. Between those states the Ileller.ic policy has oscillated per petually ; it has at one moment yielded to the crea tures of the CZAR, and at another has dwindled into the vassalage of the Citizen King. Recently the affairs of Greece have been further em baTrassed by the misunderstanding which has arisen between its SOVEREIGN and the OT- T.OMA.N PORT E , a m i sun d ers t an di ng which osten sibly aros e from a momentary p ique on the part . of OTHO, but whi c h • indisputably the result the jealousies long n o urishedwasthe insidious agents oL in his imagination caused d P HILIPPE. The inso lent demeanour, whi c h ueindignation to Mussuaus in the ball- room of the Athenian eA tkenian Palace, has ignited those combustibles whi ch secretly accumulated by France be t we en the have been Hellenes and the Mahometans. Theeam e spread, and is still spreading ; it can o n ly l:)( extt 's wished by some extraordinary concessi on on the part of the SUBLIME PORTE or the Greek SOVEREIGN. Both of those potentates are averse to concede ora, iota ; one is agitated by sentiments of supren. pride ; the other is incited by the French diplomatists to remain inflexible in his re fusal to retract or apologise. In addition to the troubles originating in this untimely and inauspicious estrange ment, the Government of Greece has considerable cause for trepidation. Its moral strength is threat ened ; its integrity is more than ever doubtful ; its very existence seems to depend upon a precarious division. The Coletti Administration is openly accused of embezzling the public moneys, of abstract. ing State documents for the purpo%e of screening its character from imputation, and of consummating its infamy by thriving upon illegal taxation. The Minister of Finance is directly impeached before the Senate ; and, considering that his conduct has been throughout connived at by his colleagues, and that they still continue to uphold him against these enormous accusations, it is evident that the whole Cabinet is treading upon rushes over an abyss. Were it requisite to substantiate our statement ,as to the alarming position of the present Hellenic Government, we could adduce a very considerable bulk of corroborative evidence. We shall, however, content ourselves with a single quotation from a speech delivered on the 30th ultimo by one of the deputies in the Legislative Chamber of Athens. "We are bought, gentlemen, we are bought," he exclaimed. " What do other Governments do on similar occasions ? What was the conduct of the fa mous English Minister, PITT, when MELVILLE was accused ? What did our own Minister, MAVEO CORDATO, do, when LONDIDES was accused ? Did he not go to the KING, and insist on his instantaneous dismissal, before he could even have time to resign ? But look at COLETTI--.THERE HE SITS, NEXT TO THE CONVICTED THIEF, AND INTRODUCES HIM AT THE KING'S COUNCIL TABLE !" Such is the lan guage employed by the Greek Legislators in speaking of the advisers of his Hellenic MAJESTY ! Such are the vituperations bandied about among the rulers of degraded Greece! Such is the consumma tion of French domination on the north-eastern shores of the Mediterranean. Wherever that ac cursed domination penetrates, whether it be into Iberia or into the Morea, or into Algeria, or into Otaheite, there come in like manner anarchy and misery and degradation. This has been proved with Queen POMARE, with Queen MARIA DA GLORIA, ith Queen ISABELLA IL, and with the followers of the famous ABD-EL-KADZR ; it is here again testified in the instance of King OTHO and the other Grecian minions of M. GulzoT. Unless new blood—blood pure and uncontaminated—be infused into the Legisla ture of Athens ; unless state peculation be repressed ; unless• the Greek Cabinet be henceforth characterised by its independence instead of becoming the obse quious pander to the lust of foreign aggrandisement —the beautiful constitution granted to that country will be invalid and a mockery. Not only to the lovers of classic greatness, not merely to the wor shippers of the memories of the Athenian and Lace demonian Immortals—the poets, the painters, the architects, the orators, the dramatists, the warriors, the legislators, the philosophers—does the present condition of Greece appeal for sympathy : it pleads earnestly and eloquently to the abettors of the cause of progression and of the diffusion of mo dern civilisation. The English Ministry, the English Parliament, cannot remain indifferent under the pre sent misfortunes of the Hellenic race. Due consi deration must be inevitably extended to the state ment forthcoming from the Noble Lord the Member fig. Newark. Public attention has lately been directed more strongly than heretofore to the state and condition of our colonies, the laws and regulations by which they are governed, and the manner in which these laws and regulations have been enforced and carried into execution. Hitherto the chief cause of complaint was, that the system of centralization was too much acted upon ; that, in fact, everything of any im portance Was decided on by the Colonial Secretary, in his office at Downing-street, without that intimate acquaintance with facts and circumstances that would enable him to come to a sound conclusion ; that the resident confidential servants of the Crown had little discretion allowed to them as to their con duct or policy, but were merely permitted to carry into effect the directions forwarded to them from the mother country ; and that the colonists themselves were, in the great majority of instances, wholly de barred from that which is the proudest privilege of a freeman, the right of self-government, of having a voice in all things relating to the welfare, prosperity, or management of the district of which he is an in habitant, and with which all his interests are bound up. Here, if any case of hardship oc curs, if laws are found to be burdensome or oppressive, or if unduly distorted to the prejudice or injury of an individual, there is a mode by which a speedy remedy can be obtained, the public indignation is aroused, the voice of public opinion is heard, many will join while the transaction is recant who would think little of it if the subject was stale, or months had elapsed since the grievance had taken place. If that opinion is slighted or despised additn,nal energy is infused into the demand for re paration, until justice is obtained, and means taken to prevent the possibility of a similar occurrence, In the great majority of our colonies affairs are far otherwise ; no matter how urgent the case may be, how crying the grievance or ruinous the con.equences of dolay either to classes or individuals, nothing can b 3 done until there has been a coinmu nic.ition with the parent State, and even then the Fabian policy still prevails, and much unnecessary time is consumed before a final decision is arrived at. A letter yesterday inserted in our columns from a correspondent, who signs himself " Observer," details a case of extraordinary hardship. A gentleman of consi derable talent and ability has been driven unjustly from the profession by which he was earning an honourable independence for himself and family. Mistakes must undoubtedly, occur in every community; we cannot hope to obtain infallible judges, or that erroneous decisions may not frequently be pronounced ; but there should be a ready mode of correcting these errors, and rendering justice to the party aggrieved. In the case to which we have alluded every day's delay inflicted a serious punishment on the party. Until a final adjudication took place, he was debarred from exercising his abilities in a legitimate manner, and obtaining that reward for his exertions to which his skill and learning entitled him. His cha racter was branded and stigmatised ; he was conscious ; how undeservedly, and how little he had to fear from the closest investigation, the most stringent inquiry ; and yet no less than five years have elapsed before he could obtain tardy justice, and be enabled again to resume the position from which he was so improperly displaced. These things should not be suffered to remain in such a state, means should be taken to bring cheap and speedy justice within the reach of the humblest British subject, and the inhabitants of our colonies are as much our fellow-subjects, and entitled to all the rights and privileges of free-born Britons as fully as if they were dwellers in the metropolis. We believe that there are other cases from the same eolony, of equal, if nut greater, hardship than those of Sir EARDLET WILMOT and Mr. STEPHEN, where the sufferers have pined under " the hope deferred that maketh sick the heart," in daily expectation of at length receiving full reparation for the injuries they have sus tained. The present Secretary for the Colo nies has devoted the closest attention, and directed every energy of his powerful mind to ameliorating the condition and improving the institutions of our dependencies. We have al ready had occasion to speak in terms of ;he warmest approval of the charter conferred ni New Zealand under Ms auspices ; we trust he will exhibit his usual promptitude in expediting the deci- Aons on pending cases, and taking such steps as for - he future will insure more speedy results in cases 'A here delay is almost fatal to the parties. Much is -oked for at his hands, and we shall indeed be di.- .ppoint d if these expectations are not fully realised, Ind a system adopted for the mutual benefit of the old country and of her numerous offspring. Political excitement is at its highest pitch in Madrid. The crisis is an imminent one. Every true I , oter of constitutional liberty must feel anxious that the recent spirited proceedings of the QUEEN may be 77 0Tted by the Government, the Cortex, and the whenever c i t .tt n at large in the manner they deserve. From the enthusiastic reception given to her MAJESTY appeared in public, since the abo minable th::_t popular have bee n cas hi ere d , i t i s ev id ent bestowed u p on the sympathy c a .: ll approbati on are gratefully ere marked, too, that the it; g,i" b o y f evincingher subjects, th e It should b e re guarded to the Plaza de younTorosu, ; thEx went wholly un greatest confidence in th e l oyalty which, at the same time th a t it Was cognised, was observed to inspire her NIZZaly intense satisfaction. From another most important with step which has just been taken, our confidence is increased that the present Government will firmly act up to the exigency before them—we allude to the decision they have come to with re spect to the Queen-Mother. Apprised that this personage had resolved upon returning forthwith to Madrid, the Minister immediately dis patched General CONCHA to meet her en route, and remonstrate against her persevering in .he journey ; and the report is strong and well credited, that should Queen CHRISTINA not be influences by the General's instructions, and attempt to enter Spain, the Government are authorised to place her under arrest. No one can doubt the wisdom and propriety of this important decision arrived at by the Ministers. The Queen- Mother has been throughout the primum mobile of all the base cabals and iniquitous conspi racies which have so long disgraced the Court of Madrid, and stopped the growth of liberty in Spain. In CHRISTINA the Court of Versailles found a v; ill ing tool to effectuate all their subtle designs against the welfare of Spain. Equal in selfishness and in ordinate rapacity, governed only by personal, and wholly indifferent to any lofty or national considera tions, Louis PHILIPPE and the Queen-Mother had no difficulty in striking an infamous bargain, and, by setting all principle at defiance, realising it to the full. Had CHRISTINA never been allowed to return to Madrid, subsequent to the overthrow of ESPARTERO, the entente cordiale between England and France might have remained unbroken to this hour. That her being unexpectedly crossed on her way to Madrid by General CONCHA will prove "a heavy blow and great discouragement" to CHB'S.. TINA, we may be perfectly certain ; and should she attempt to cross the frontier, we sincerely trust that coercive measures will he promptly adopted. "Let the galled jade wince." Another piece of intelligence is, that the Duke of VICTORY will be recalled to Spain. Considering how thoroughly General ESPAR TERO understood from the first the character of Queen CHRISTINA, and how accurately all the dis turbances in the Iberian peninsula are traceable to the deviations from the Constitution, which he un compromisingly refused to sanction, his return to Madrid, restored to all his titles, honours, and rank, will be a proud triumph indeed! ESPARTERO is Still regarded with admiration by thousands of his cora -1 patriots, and his presence amongst them once more would be hailed with universal delight. It is impossible to predict at this moment the degree of strength which the new Ministry will find in the Cortes. The impression is that the Pro gressistas will support the Government. They are anxious for a general amnesty; but, without saying that the Executive will fully concede this point, it seems more than probable that the liberal spirit which they have already recommended the Crown t exhibit towards a large number of proscribed politicians, will secure Senor PACHECO their adherence in the existing struggle. The union of the Afrancesados and the ultra-Moderados will constitute a strong body in oppositim. We hope, however, that the latter will be disappointed in their hopes from NARVAEZ. Much will depend on the line he may ultimately adopt, and much, again, upon the actual measures which the Ministry may submit to the Cortes. The political affairs of Spain are fraught with the deepest interest. Most cordially do we desire that the cause of liberty may come out unscathed from the severe ordeal through which it is now destined to pass. We read in a letter from Constantinople of the 27th ult. " The dispute between the Turkish and Greek Govern ments has made no progress towards an amicable adjust ment. It is generally stated here that the Porte persists in the ultimatum which was trausmittel to Greece, and which M. Colietti has refused to accept without a modi ' tication to which the Turkish Ministry will not consent. The two French steamers sent out to tow the vessels freighted with corn for the ports of France have ari ived more than a week. The Titan remains in the Dardanelle,, and the Cuvier has come up to Constanti nople for the service of the Bosphorus. The French Consul has written to all the other foreign consulates at Constaninople for the names of all ships of their respec tive nations e' gaged to carry corn to France. The number of these ships is very great. The Greek Consul alone has sent in a list of thirty-six. On the other hand the price of bread is daily rising. The Porte has just transmitted the following note to all the Foreign Ministers:—"The large purchases of corn made this year in Tui key for exportation to Europe having caused a rise in the price, it may be feared that from an excess of cupidity the inhabitants will dispose of even the corn which is necessary for their food and for sowing their lands, and thus expose themselves in the end to a dearth. On the other hand, the scarcity which prevails in the different countries of Europe makes it a duty of humanity to facilitwe exportation. Not to fail in this duty, and at the same time preserve Turk( y from all the consequences of a scarcity of corn, the Porte sees no objection to the exerts in the hands of the farmers being s- id, or to the performance of all contracts for sale already made. Only, beyond the exccss of quantity necessary fur the wants of the country and the irihabi ti(nts, it has been decided that fir the present no sale o f corn shall be made. Notice of this decision has been sent to the Governors of Widdin, Varna, Eri ala, RhoJosto, Sarohan, Quoniah, Aidin, Trebizande, Costamony, Smyrns. and Istnith.' Alarming news has been received anti published from Bagdad and Moussol. The Tigris is neerl) (Ivy, and for several months such a drought has reigned over the country that the produce of the next harvest has become very doubtful. At Odessa all is sold, and for two months there have been no arrivals from the c. - Aintry on account of the state of the roads. Exchanges have so much fallen since the departures of the two last mails that the importers of specie already havts sustained losses. It is probable that the Bank of Marseilles will receive no more orders for cash." 4 -fr 44 - • s ' ll / • `" z . ;;: 4 e';4141 7,* / . • ' THE SUN, LONDON, TiIURSDA Y MORNING, APRIL 15, 1847. Madrid papers of the 6th and 7th have arrived. The Heraldo publishes a letter from EGANA, deny ing in positive terms the statement that he had re fused to obey her MAJESTY'S orders for his dismissal, and that the Ministers were sent for to eject him. He sums up his epistle by saying that what has oc curred is reduced to this—" That the QUEEN desired to dismiss Don PEDRO DE EGANA from the steward ship of her royal household, and that Don PEDRO DE EGANA obeyed her MAJESTY'S wishes without the slightest opposition." The same paper announces that the Count DE MONTEMOLIN had been unable to raise a loan in London. '1 he Eco del Comercio announces the dismissal of Senor DE AROMA, whose duty it is to introduce Ambassadors at Court. He was an intimate friend of the French Ambassador, the Duke of GLucKs- BURGH. General MANUEL DE CONCHA has been dispatched to the French frontier, with orders to pre vent Queen CHRISTINA from entering Spain. He is to use remonstrances in the first instance, and should they prove of no avail, he is to place her under arrest. The QUEEN continues to show herself in public, and is everywhere received with the greatest enthu siasm. At a bull-fight, to which she was accom panied by her father-in-law, Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, but not, it appears, by her husband, she was loudly cheered, and frequently during her stay there were shouts of " Long live the Constitutional Queen !" The Herald° expresses dissatisfaction at her MAJESTY having been greeted at the theatre and in the streets with " Vivas!" to herself, to the con stitution, and to liberty, because, it says, that from " Vivas !" the people pass to insults to individuals, and from them to scenes of blood and to revolution. General NARVAEZ has been appointed Ambassador to Paris, Senor DE LA TORRE D'AYLLON Ambassador to Lisbon, General SHELLEY Captain-General of Grenada, General PEZUELA. Captain of Andalusia, and Senor GONZALES BRAVO a member of the Royal Council. The Embassy to Rome was offered to Senor MARTINEZ DE LA RosA, but refused. Countess BRESSON and her son have left Madrid for Paris. They passed OLOZAGA, en route for Madrid, at Bayonne. It is said that a decree will shortly appear restoring to ESPARTERO all his ho nours, and permitting him to return to Madrid. The last news from Portugal is not considered favourable. The QUEEN'S troops have, it is said, been twice repulsed before Oporto. _MADRID BOLSA.—The Three per Cents. were done on the 6ch at 32i for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 2.01 ; the Debt without interest at 6 ; and the Cou pons at 17. On the 7th the Three per Cents. closed at 32i for cash; the Five per Cents. and Coupons re mained the same, and the Debt without interest ad vanced to 61. We have received the Paris papers of Monday.

It says— y.re.teiTernheeotßfraitldhlee.on the Customs, presented on the 31st nit. to the Chamber of Deputies, by the Minister of Com merce, is a rood e e uT s a t htoe p tn ro s positiou in itself, which, however, :t i t th t : se a ; ra se s % possessesy.hrresarepeaincn essential character. It is a step in the path slumber l l ib rmodificationse er o t y f . n o P o r prohibition ro greatht b i i t o t ° i o s n ark e tae o ns suppressedc in whichbt lulet are remarkable. They are as follow ;,---Ground chicory, worked rock crystal, curcutna in powder, brandies nut specially specified in the tariffs, hair -twine, other than that of goats, cows, and dogs, nankeen by foreign vessels (the entry was p-rrnitted by French ships), different se condary chemical articles, hardware goods other than those described as mercury, tissues of bourre de sole, Cache mire fashion, tissues of Chachemire fabricated by the spindle in countries out of Europe, ti sues of horsehair not mentioned in the tariff, tissues of the bark trees, of nettles, &c ; flax tul!e, tissues of silk of India, and of countries out of Europe, 'not imported directly (the direct importation was permitted). • Each Of ti;ese pro hibitions is replaced by a high duty. The duties are reduced on a second series of articles, none of which has Scarcely greater importance ; lastly, and what is mere serious, what is the really practical part of the Bill, 298 articles have been struck out of the tariff. With the exception of about 20, they are objects of little interest. However, it is only 113 articles that entry is ab,c lute ; for the remainder it is subordinate to divers con ditions. With respect to 23 articles, they must arrive by French vessels or by land ; for 162 they must come by sea under the French flag, and from certain places, that is, from beyond the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn, or, at least, be not of European produc tion, The 298 articles yielded to the Treasury, in 1845 3.884,880 f., but nine-tenths of this revenue were Oven by 12 or 15 articles, such as saltpetre, nitrate of soda, dying woods, nacker of pearl, copper, elephant's teeth, flesh and skins, bamboos, pine and fir wood, the whalebone called funon, lead, and pitch. As free entry is not accorded in all cases it is calculated that the loss to the Treasury will not amount to 3,000,000 f. Lastly, by a peculiarly special favour it is permitted to import free of duty, iron, copper, zinc, and hemp, for shipbuilding and the . use of shipping, on the condition that the employment of them in this way be proved; but chain cables, sail cloth, and cordages, are not included in the exemption. On the whole, to consider the law generally, that is t 3 say, apart from maritime industry, it is a law of Custom-house reform, which touches neither iron, ner steel, nor coal, nor any other great raw material, nor alimentary articles, nor the usual articles of clothing, nor tools of any description what ever. The liberty, therefore, which will be the fruit of it, will be a liberty infinitely curtailed. And yet we do not give a bad reception to this law. It is the proof that for the future the tariff can no more be meddled with except to render it more liberal. It is a narrow breach in the ramparts of prohibition, but it is not less a breach. Public reason will soon know how to enlarge it, and to assure to liberty, in our commercial regula- I tions, the part it has at present a right to expect, that which the public interest, in accord with the liberal and conservative sentiments of the country, loudly demands." It would appear from the following paragraph, which appears in the Presse, that the Ministers are again likely to be annoyed by the headstrong obstinacy of Marshal BUGEAUD, who seems to be in Algeria, quite as independent of the Government of France as the Bey of Tums is in his province of the Govern ment of Turkey : " We have always made it a rule to abstain horn giving an account of what -passes in the bureaux and comraittees of the Chamber of Deputies. We believe that this partial publicity, rarely faithful, which pre cedes the discussions of the tribune has marry incon veniences, and not one advantage ; but it will net be a violation of our rule to speak of what occurred on Friday in the committee on Africa, for there was not only a debate but a resolution, which was on Saturday morning the object of all coliversatioisin the Chamber of Depu ties. fhe committee On Africa having learned that an expedition was being prepared against litizbylia, and being desirous of verifying the truth, begged the Minister of War to appear before it. The Minister hastened to comply, and avowed that the Government, ceding to the pressing recommendations of Marshal Bugeaud, had, in spite of the formal opposi tion of the Chamber, authorised the expe dition. The letter of Marshal Bugeaud and the reply of the Minister of War having been communicated to the committee, it was not a little astonished to read pretty nearly as follows :—‘ Monsieur le Ministre—Peace and the most profound submission reign in Kabylia, and it appears to me that this is the moment to make a military promenade in that district,' &c. After the de parture of the Minister, the committee believed it right, on account of the urgency of the case, to adopt a resolution, the object of which is to pretest ag,inst this senseless expedition ; and it charged its president, M. Dufaure, to wait on the Minister of War on Satur day, to communicate this resolutioi. This, in fact, took place. What will the Government do? It has only the choice of two weaknesses—will it retract the authorisa tion which it had the weakness to give? Will it have the weaknees to maintain it? "These lines,' adds the Presse, ' were written when we learned that there is rea son to hope that the expedifj,9n will not take place, in consequence of Marshal BUgeaud having been suddenly attacked with a malady which causes serious dis quietude." M. HEBERT, the Minister of Justice, has been re elected to the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of 434 to 29. Lord COWLEY has had a relapse, and great appre hensions are entertained as to his recovery. A letter has been received from Algiers, which says that ABD..EL-KADER has made his appearance within four leagues of Mascara, and that he had in duced several tribes to join him. M. GUIZOT, on the receipt of this intelligence, dispatched his Under- Secretary, M. HANS3N, to Tangiers. He is to pass through Madrid in his way to Morocco. The Bill regulating the system of secondary in struction has been presented to the Chamber of Deputies by the Minister of Public Instruction. On the food question the Reforme says— " In all the neighbouring mai kets, without exception, which supply Paris, there has again been a considerab;€ ris- in wheat. It varies from 2f. to 4f . per hectol i tre , The supply was not sufficient at any place, even for local consumption. Private purchasers were most eager, and the millers who had abstained trona purchasing during the last month could not obtain any. At ot h er mar k ets , the growers, not conceiving a rise o f 5f to 6 f, per sack to be sufficient, carried away both wheat and samples Such was the case at. Orleans. At Provins a band o; women came from the Aitniftrpm and vociferous!. quar relled with the millers to obtain some loads of wheat." Notwithstanding these untoward events, no appre hensions were entertained of a scarcity. The orders given for foreign corn are more than sufficient for the supply of France until next harvest.

GOOD FISIIING.—On Tuesday last a decked fish ing vusel cast her lines on the Mar Bank, and in one haul the crew pulled up twenty-five halibut and twenty tune skate. The whole of the fish were exceedingly large; one of the halibut, which was exhibited on Thurs day in a fishmonger's shop in George-street, weighed 1801bs.—Ediliburgh Witness. The Seine has again begun to overflow its banks. On Saturday it rose to 3 metres 60 centimetres, by the scale on the Pont Royal. EXTRAORDINARY FECUNDITY of A EWE.—MY. Richard Stephens, of Kilvaethu, in the pariah of Llan defeilog, is the fortunate possessor of a ewe which has, within the last three years, brought the extraordinary number of twelve lambs, all alive. The first year she brought and reared three, the second year four, and this season the unprecedented number of five, four of which she herself rears, the other being fed in-doors. The ewe is now only three years okl, and we believe the fact of twelve lambs, all alive, being brought b y one ewe in such a short peri o d, i s w ithout a parallel in agricul tural annals.—Carmarthen Journal. HYDROPHOBIA.--The Tribunal of Correctional Police had on Saturday to try a man of the name of Stratten, accused of homicide by i m prudence.

The men have had 4s. per day during the winter, and they now want 4s. 6d. The masters, under the present depression of trade, refuse to pay the demand. A FAUX Pas.—A. night or two since a distinguished party at her Majesty's Theatre, were conversing on the merits of the two rival establishments, when it was ob served by a Noble Viscount that one of the greatest triumphs of the old establishment was its unapproachable ballet. and instanced, as examples, the celebrated par de quaitre and the pas de cinq of last season. "But now," said he, " we are ta be astounded with a pas de Sept, an exhibition quite impossible at Covent-garden. "At all events," replied the Countess Of " they are sure to I give us pas du tout." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Nigh.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted to 10,000 haleN, the quotations being flan. Of this quantity 8,000 bales were American, and realised 6id. to i d. per lb. The quantity taken on speculation was 3,000 bales, and for exportation 1,000 bales. There was an improvement in Railway Shares, and the demand mai more active. It hai been assumed that the Directors of the Bank of England have rtfused advances upon the deposit of Exchequer-bills. This is not the fact; nay more, it is absurdly so represented. As we have been informed, and we have every belief in the truth of the statement, that in order to pass through discount a large quantity of paper--good no question about it—a certain portion of collateral securities were offered, but as the whole lot of bills was turned out, of course the Exche quer collateral security followed the fate of the paper sent in for the accommodation required. Exchequer bills are too good a security, as tar as the principal money they so present, to be hawked about. As a matter of course in speculative pur chases or sales, the premium for temprary purposes, as well as discounts, must bo taken into consideration. Where is one point which 'ought to be borne in mind ; it is that the rumours of bills being rejected by the dis ount committee of the Bark of England, must be re ceiyed with the utmost caution. The members of the Court of Directors are a sworn body. From them no information can be obtained as to the number, or the amount of bills that may be refused discount; and it would be a too incre dulous story to assert, that establishments whose paper has been rejected would make the fact known, either in whole or in part. The following circular will speak for itself:— CIRCULAR TO BANKF;RS. " Stamps and Taxes, London, April 10. " Gentlemen,—lt having come to the knowledge of the Board of Stamps and Taxes, that bankers who are licensed to issue unstamped tikes, under the 9th Geo. IV., c. 23, had in some instances re-issued notes made payable to order after payment thereof, a case has been submitted to the Attorney and Solicitor General, as to the legality of that proceeding. " The board have received the opinion of the law officers, that a promissory note, payable to order, either on demand or after date, issued on unstamped paper, by a banker licensed under the 9th Geo. IV., c. 23, cannot lawfully be re-issned after payment, and that by omitting to cancel suc►h note, and by re-issuing the same, the penalty of 501., imposed by the 19th section of the 55th Geo. 111., c. 184, is incurred. " The board think it right that this opinion should be communicated to all the bankers, for their information and guidance. " I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " THOMAS KEOGH, Assist ant Secretary." A very useful document has been drawn up by Mr. Horatio Hardy, of the Jerusalem Coffee-house. It is for the guidance of those connected with the East India and China trade. It comprises all the ships about to sail, and " trading to places within the limits of the East India Company's charter, China, and the Colonies. A very considerable amount of tonnage is to be devoted to the conveyance of troops, and of Government and the Hon. East India Company's stores. But the general trade of the country with the remoter districts named is apparently looking well ; for we find that in berth, to receive cargoes in the various docks of the port of London, there are not less than four ships for Madras sad Bengal ; for Madras solely, two vessels ; for Bengal solely, six vessels ; for Bombay, eight ; for Ceylon, four; for Victoria, Macao, and Canton, two; for the Mauritius, four; for New Soutb Wales, six; for Adelaide, five; for Hobart Town and Port Philip, five; for New Zealand, one; and about a dozen others for Singapore, Hong- Kong, &c. The tonnage of these vessels ranges from 158 to 600 tons. One measures 1,014 tons (the Welles • ley), and another 1,200 tons (the Sutlej). For quick trade ships of 400 to 600 tons admeasurement appear to be most in favour. The periods of sailing are from this present day and ranging up to very nearly the end of the month of May. In all sixty one vessels are on the list. This looks like business, to say the least of it. The funds have been decidedly better to-day, and the re-purchasing for the account has occasioned a rally of not less than 1 per cent. in the quotations. To morrow being settling day, the Bears are anxiuus to be prepared, and money bargains have been made as high as 864 and 878 in Consols. For May the rates have been 81 4. Bank Stock has fluctuated from 192 to 196. Very few transactions have been reported in the Foreign Bonds to-day. The Spanish Consuls has been done at 25i The Three per Cents at 36i f. The Dutch Two•andta-Half per Cents. at 58i I, and the Four per Cents. at 89i and 90. Matters have improved in the Railway Share Market this morning. In most instances prices have been on the advance.

DARING INTREPIDITY.—An instance of courageous intrepidity, by which the life o f a f e ll o w-crvatute was saved, was displayed on F r id ay l ast by Mr. Will iam Poole, second mate of the steam-ship Phoenix. It ap pears that Mr. Thom as Benyon, of Spi man st t, Car marthen, was a passenger on board toe Phoenix iron) Bristol, and upon the arrival of the vessel at Tenby he accidentally fell overboard into the sea between the steamer and the pier. Quick as thought Poole I. , a.ped in after him, but did not succeed in reaching him until he was in imminent d anger, having sunk three times, and being completely exhausted Poole managed to seise him by his collar, and thon held on to a chain cable until a boat was sent to his assistance, when both were relieved from their perilous situation. This is, we understand, the ninth individual that Poole has rescued from a watery grave, and it would but be rewarding true courage and d e te rm i ne d if' pilantry, the Rosa ! ! Humane Society awarded bite a medal in honour of his philanthropic achievements.— Welshman . THE LATE GALES.—On Tuesday forenoon it corn menced to blow very freshly from the west ward, an d to wards the afternoon increased to a hurricare. The usual decapitation of chimnies, the unroofing Of slates and tiles, and consequent danger to street pas,en gt rs , was as great as has been witnessed in the city for a long time. Many persons were thrown down by the violence of the gale, and some very narrow escapes made daritig its continuance. In Leith Roads some if the vessels dragged their anchors a considerable distance, and in the dock the mast of a Greenock trader snapp e d c l ose by the deck, and went over alongside. One of the steam tugs, em ployed in towing out the boats used in cleaning the har bour was unable to make Leith Pier again, and had to run for it before the wind. It is understood the crew found safety in One of the harbours on the Fite cost, It is earnestly to be hopeti unit th:2 eif,:ets of tho gait, utl sea will not pro ve t o b e of a disastrous description.— Edinburgh Evening Post, Boulogne and Amiens 0 .. ....

To which the gentleman replied "Provi dence-street." " Sure enough, and yer honour, and that's the very street I'm wanting, and laid], I've a par ticular friend who lives in that same street, but, by my soul, I've intirely and completely forgot his name—per haps, now, you would be after telling me his name too." This so excited our friend's risible facultio, that lie burst into an immoderate fit of laughter, to the no small amazement of poor Paddy, who retorted, " Faith, and you're no gentleman, or you wouldn't be after thrating one in that manner ; by my soul, but ye may have to ask the same question yourself, some day." A sec and ond fit of laughter was the result of this droll remark, Paddy, after looking unuttenble walked away, no doubt to find a more gentlemanly informant.—Leeds Intelligencer. COURT CIRCULAR.

The house was crowded with fashionable and dilettanti. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert • honoured the performances with their presence.

She is looking very well, and was in excelleo.7"' voice. Her fioriture was marvellous for its richness, an her powers of execution are as great as ever. Her WIZ,' d'intrata was equisitely given, a n d wan d es erTew encored, as was the duet with Seidl, at the COW elusion of the first act. The mad scene t 4)° - was finely given. Salves Edgardo is remarkable,;, rather for pathos than for impassioned energy',: Hence he was greatest in the more tender passage°;l His finale was exceedingly beautiful. The "Fra Pte' was deliciously given. 01 Ronconi it would be unfair'-„ offer an opinion, as an apology was made for him °., 1/ •,, account of hoarseness under which he was evident' , •?- 1 labouring._ Signor Polonini appeared as Bide-the Del l and made much of a small character.
