' IP )1V4 , 4 44 LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1853. A NExEsis at the Admiralty Her sword keener than ever, and her temper more inexor able ! It would so appear to be from the Select Committee appointed by the House of Commons, now inquiring into the exercise of influence and patronage in the various dockyards by the Lords CommiSsioners under the Earl of DERBY'S Go vernment. During the last few days important evidence has been adduced before the Committee in reference to the resignation by Sir BALDWIN WALKER of the office of Naval Surveyorship. Everything, indeed, has now been explained by that distinguished office: in regard to the long- . talked-of correspondence. The whole transaction has been detailed by him with a lucidity really ad mirable, and, on consideration of the singular en tanglement of the whole question, really also quite ; extraordinary. It must by this time be apparent that discredit of no trivial amount falls upon the head of the late Secretary to the Admiralty. Nevertheless, it remains yet to be learnt what Mr. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD can possiblyhave to say in the way of exculpation. Hitherto the evidence has all gone against him indisputably. He is proved to have cancelled, on the 19th of April, 1852, the circular of 1849, " without the knowledge of the Board." He is proved to have said plainly enough to the ex-Surveyor, in exculpation of his conduct in so doing, " There's no use blinking the question—l cannot help myself, I am so pressed by the Government." He is proved to have had an interview - , ea the 22d of April, 1852, with Sir B. WA= 3R, in the presence of Vice-Admiral PARKER, : upon which occasion the late Surveyor of the Navy, having done so on the previous day by writing, then again (by word of mouth) formally tendered his resignation. Yet —after all this: 2 -Mr. STAFFORD is proved to have stated in the House of Commons, on the evening of the 23d of November, 1852, in answer to in quiries put by Admiral BERKELEY and Sir GEORGE PECHELL, that there had been no correspondence with the Surveyor of the Navy on the subject of promotions in the dockyards, and also that the Surveyor of the Navy had not tendered his resig nation! No correspondence after the " confiden tial letter" written by Mr. A. STAFFORD to Sir B. WALKER on the 3d April, 1852 ! 'No corres pondence aftei' that reply penned on the very same day, and forwarded in the evening to the late Secretary by the late Surveyor ! What, Sir BALDWIN WALKER had not tendered his resigna tion—after the communication written by him on , the 21st of April, 1852—the letter addressed to' Mr. AUGUSTUS 'STAFFORD himself in his official capacity—the letter read out loud to Admiral PARKER in the presence of Captain MILNE— the letter committed to the charge of Admiral PARKER, to be laid by him before the Board of Commissioners—the letter which actually ap peared in the course of the interview already re ferred to, as having taken place on the 22d of April, 1852, between Admiral PARKER, Sir BALD WIN WALKER, and Mr. A.UGUSTUS STAFFORD—the late Surveyor of the Royal Navy distinctly stating, on Thursday, before the Committee of Inquiry, " Admiral , PARKER had witness's letter in his hand during the interview, and which con tined in it his resignation ! " There had 11 no correspondence with the Surveyor of the Navy on the subject of the promotions in the docky ards I And the Surveyor of the Navy had not tend ered his resignation ! Those are the as sertions of th e i by him boldly acid explicitly Secretary—assertions made e , xplicitly fr om th e fl oor o f th e m Lower Ho use of Imperi:tl Parliament. No wonder—when W e coT , pLcti,lll,;; ' i7d ' fact. with the evi dence alx,ve B. WALKER reg ar d e d wonder Ur:A Sir witehln b FFORD'S er, 1852, statement of the 23d of v A.

STAFFORD is, it must be admitt.:A, somewhat remarkable--" What leo* you hat e me say ?" Whereupon Sir BALDWIN WALKER reti rted with honest spirit, "Anydiim; but what you did say —for you know thiLt I ivnuered my resi , guatiou, wrote_ a Ipttct anti that SOW'- Lfte I First Lord of tilt: Admiralty. 2., But-04.4(1(14 letters, this correspondence, this resignation, these long yarns and short memories, these Lords of the Admiralty, and Secretaries and Surveyors, these , statements and co unter-statements ! Admiral PARKER takes charge of Sir B. WALKER'S letter Go Llie First Lord of the Admiralty. Subse itteti Li). tiir IS. NV:\ (IvtaluS an intervicw with the Duke Of NoRTIIIIMBERLAND-whea he learns from, I.ii, (,:rack_ - • i Itztt Ito had kir heard of this letter coutaining the tender of his resigna tion. " His Grace," this is the evidence of the witness, " his Grace stated, with much warmth, that, had it been given to him, he should have at once taken it to Lord DERBY. Sir BALDWIN WALKER is naturally amazed when, as luck has it, Admiral PARKER himself walks into the room during the interview, whereupon " witness expressed his sur prise at hearing his Grace state that he had not seen or heard of the letter tendering his resigna tion, upon which Admiral PARKER reminded the Duke that he had put the letter into his Grace's hand." He might as well have put it into the fire — as he actually did with another communication. Again say we-0 these long yarns and short me mories! Like everything else just now—except the Jew Bill—the Committee of Inquiry was yesterday ad journed. The further examination of the Gun powder Plot at Rotherhithe is postponed. The discussion on the Budget is delayed. Everything, we repeat--excepting that Jewish Disabilities Bill, which was defeated last night M the Lords by a sweeping majority of 49 in a house of 279, in cluding proxies—everything except that is sub ject, it would seem, to reiterated adjournment. Among the rest, this Committee of Inquiry into the exercise of political influence and patronage in the dockyards is doomed to what we cannot but regard as a most judicious and wholesome procrastination. The annual ceremony of bringing forward in the House of Lords the bill for the removal of the civil disabilities affecting persons professing the Jewish religion was last night repeated, and with the usual result. The hereditary legislators once more rejected the measure by a considerable majority—there being 164 against the second reading, and only 115 (including proxies) in its favour. Had Lord JOHN RUSSELL really intended to set the question at rest, and to carry out the wishes of the important constituency of which he was the representative, he would have adopted a very different and far more simple course than that which he deliberately pursued. The question, so far as the House of Commons was concerned, lay in a nutshell. There was no greater impedi ment to Baron ROTHSCHILD'S taking his seat than had previousiy existed with respect to Mr. PEASE. Then, however, the House acted boldly and independently. The majority of its members would not permit a question affecting their own privileges only, and the discipline and regulation of their own concerns, to be referred to another tribunal. They took a broad and comprehensive view of the subject. They considered that it was the spirit and not the letter of the obligation that should be regarded —the substance and not the form. They, accord ingly, by a simple resolution, decided that the Hon. Gentleman should be permitted to make his affirmation, as he would have been authorised to do in any Court of Justice, even in the highest of all—the House of Lords itself. The matter was thus disposed of in the easiest manner. The Hon. Gentleman made his affirmation, took part as one of the popular representatives in the busi ness of the country, discharging the important duties confided to his charge, honestly and effici ently. No person ever thought that the British Constitution, or even the Church of England by law established, was endangered by the admiss n of Mr. PEASE, or subsequently of Messrs. BRIGHT and Mx's into the popular branch of the Legis lature, and if a similar course had been resorted to when Baron ROTHSCHILD presented himself at the table, and having taken the substantial part of the obligation, declining only the formal decla ration that "he swore it on the true faith of a Christian," inasmuch as the other form which he was willing to pursue, was " more binding on his conscience," there would have been an end of the dispute—the obstacle would have been quietly removed, without discussion or excitement, and there might have been two or three Jews taking part in the proceedings of the House of Com mons—a circumstance that would no more have un-Christianised the Legislature than their tole ration in the country, and admission to civic offices, has un-Christianised the nation. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, however, wanted some thing to divert the popular attention at the mo ment, to prevent the impatience that might other wise have arisen at the undue procrastination exhibited with respect to the - various reforms urgently demanded at his hands. Like a Necro mancer in the olden time, he had a potent spirit under his control, but he was bound to provide it in work. A Jew Bill, one that would command a majority in one House, and was certain of rejection in the other, would answer the same purpose as twisting ropes of sand or other equally useful occupations by which the busy demon was prevented from doing mis chief. We have, accordingly, had a bill which has answered the purpose for seven successive Sessions, and which is good for seven years more, unless the step be now taken which might have been so beneficially adopted in the first instance. If Lord J. RUSSELL be really sincere in his intention of carrying out the emancipation of the Jews, he will now, albeit at the eleventh hour, bring for ward the resolution which he should have pm posed in 1847. The difficulties have, unques tionably, been increased by the vacillating conduct above referred to ; but it is time that what a morning contemporary has, with too much propriety, termed " the annual farce," should be brought to a conclusion—that the Jews should be admitted to the popular branch of the. Legislature without further delay—that the city of London should no longer be partially disfran chised, and one of its most respected citizens de prived of the honourable privilege bestowed on him by a majority of his fellows. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL be in earnest, he will forth with bring the question to a summary conclu sion. If not, his conduct will afford another, and by no means a favourable, illustration ofLegislative and Ministerial " sayings and doings," which we have no doubt the electors of the metropolis will k,new 4ppreciate. when the .fitting time shall arrive. DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR OSBORNE, THIS DAY.— Shortly after one o'clock this day, her Majesty, H.R.H. Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family, accom panied by the Lords and Ladies in Waiting, left Buck inghain Palace for Osborne. The royal party, occupied three carriages, and proceeded over Vauxhall-bridge to the new railway in the Wandsworth-road. In conse quence of the Nine Elms station, from which her Ma jesty formerly started, having been turned into an emi gration depot,, the London and South-Western Railway directors have built a short line from the main line near the Richmond Junction to the Wands worth-road, near the toll-gate, which will be kept expressly for the use of her Majesty and royal family. It having been found impossible to conl - the station in time for to-day, a large tempq rary one, in the shape of a marquee, was erected by M. Benjamin Edgington of Puke-street, Tooley-street, for the accommodation of the royal party. Upon the arri val of the Court at the new station, the Queen was re ceived by the chairman and directors of the railway. The royal party having taken their seats in the train, the signal was given, and the party dispatched. Her Ma jesty and royal family were looking remarkably well. CHANDELIER FOR THE QUEEN.—A splendid chandelier has lately been made at the works of Mr. R. W. Win field, Cambridge-street, Birmingham. It is for her Majesty's marine villa, Osborne House, and was for w , rd, d on Saturday last, in order that it may be sus p ided in the council-room before the arrival of the Royal Family. It is designed in the later Italian style, wrought in the most admirable manner, and is composed of brass, matted, and in part relieved by burnishing. From what is termed a jewelled shaft depends the body of the chandelier, which is vase-shaped, and above which, round the shaft, are placed three elegantly- Ino :.11.d ht , ures in Parian, illustrative of Peace, Plenty, , :.,(I,,Lore.

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL. INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO 0 CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market -:osed quietly. Railway Shares were quiet. The weekly return of the Bank of England to the 23d inst. is interesting, owing to the further numerous changes. There was rather a large with drawal of deposits, but these went in part towards the payment of loans, the amount of the other securities being much smaller. The bullion was again trenched upon, but this week's arrivals will soon restore the balance. Compared with the pre vious week the changes are as follows : Active circulation... Decrease Bullion Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Decrease Other deposits Decrease Seven-day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Other Securities Decrease Notes unemployed Decrease 204,835 18,554,181 238,815 3,114,339 3,868 3,712,989 67,227 13,206,923 416,045 1,412,479 7,116 No alteration. 13,632,497 452,540 8,584,145 322,575 Bills of exchange on the principal foreign cities were yesterday afternoon negotiated on the follow ing terms, for those dated 90 days :—Paris, 25 25 to 21 ; Amsterdam, 11 17/ to 18f ; Hamburgh, 13 71 to 8i ; and Trieste, 11 4to 6. These are slightly higher terms for Hamburgh, and scarely so good for Amsterdam and Trieste. The amount of gold exported from London dur ing the week to Thursday last was 23,920 ounces, nearly all to Boulogne, and of silver 2,840 ounces. The English Funds have been quiet, and have not improved upon yesterday's rates. The absence of business is the chief cause, and the closing of speculative accounts in connection with certain parties in the iron trade has its effect. Consols have been 100/1 for Transfer, and loot for Account. The New 3k per Cents. have realised 104 to f, and the 3 per Cents. 99i to par. Ex chequer Bills have been at par to ss. premium. India Bonds have fallen to 28s. and 255. premium. East India Stock is worth 2601. Bank Stock has been firm, at 226 i to 228. Foreign Securities have been buoyant. The Spanish Committee's Certificate has improved to 6i Mexican Bonds are lower, being 26i Greek Bonds are not so high, the Red having been 114, and the Blue 9k. Peruvian scrip is very firm. Sardinian Bonds l• ave been quoted 97 to 98 ; Austrian Bonds have realised 881 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Hall per Cents. 65i to 66. In the Railway Market there has been a realisa tion of profits as regards Great Northern, and they are cheaper. North-Western are steady. York and North Midland have been also very good. French shares have been flatter. The Gold Mine shares are generally very firm, but the Land Companies are lower, except the British American and the North British Austra lian. The Joint Stock Bank shares are much the same. BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK THIS DAY. ( From the Official List.) _ . Business done. Bank Stock :3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities lOO 991- 3 per Cent.

The committee appointed to inquire into the petition against the return of Mr. Mills for this borough sat this morning for the first time. The Hon. A. Lascelles in the chair. The counsel for the petitioners were Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Ballantine ; for Mr. Mills, Mr. Ser geant Kinglake, Mr. James, and Mr. Pigott. The petition was founded upon an allegation that the return of Mr. Baldwin was prevented by a libel which had been circulated, and for which an action at law had been commenced. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins made application to the corn mittee for an adjournment, on the ground that by a letter having been accidentally sent to Torquay, a material witness had not received a summons. Mr. James opposed the application. After some discussion, the committee adjourned until 11 o'clock on Monday. HARWICH. This committee met this morning at eleven o'clock — Mr. Headlam in the chair. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake was opening the case when our reporter left. The learned Sergeant entered at some length into the history of the last half-dozen elections at Harwich, and with tracing the rise and progress of the connection of Mr. Attwood with the borough. He said he should be able to show that, previous to the last election. Mr. Attwood had offered the borough openly openly for sale. 'BOLTON. The committee met this morning at twelve o'clock — Lord Robert Grosvenor in the chair. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake appeared for the petitioners, and Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Monck for the sitting mem bers. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake opened the case, and was proceeding when our reporter left. THE GREAT ENCAMPMENT. The exact position and form of the great encampment on Chobham-common have now been determined upon ; the ground has been surveyed and is judiciously selected. The line of encampment will form a semicircle, com mencing at Colonel Challoner's property and extending along some high ground to Staples-hill, a distance of about a mile and three-quarters, fronting several thou sand acres of common or heath ground, similar to that of Ascot Heath. The position of the head-quarters of the Commander-in-Chief has also been chosen ; it is on an eminence about a mile distant, and in front of the army. At the commencement and termination of the line of encampment the cavalry will be stationed, with the artillery directly in front of them, and the centre of the line will be formed of the infantry; altogether there will be 10,000 men encamped. A party of the Royal Sappers and Miners from the Royal Military College and Fusilier Guards from Windsor have been engaged, under the scientific directions of Colonel Vicars and Lieutenant Drake, in securing a sup ply of water, by making embankments, digging wells, &c. Two ponds, the " Little Arm" and " Great Arm," have been formed from the springs in various parts of the ground, the water from which is described by the in habitants of the district as of the purest quality. Ground has also been laid out for the temporary stables of the cavalry ; the horses will be under canvas. Lord Hardinge is expected to survey the operations next week ; his lordship will occupy a mansion in the neighbourhood of Sunninghill. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will pro bably be the General in command. His Royal Highness will take up his residence at Bagshot-park. The encampment, if the weather should prove favour able, will last about six weeks. - The following regiments have already received orders to prepare for the encampment :—The Ist battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards, from Windsor ; 2d battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards, from the Tower ; Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards, from Chichester ; the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, from Windsor, and 2d Regiment of Life Guards, from Regent's-park Barracks. Some of the regiments are expected to march on the ground about the Ist of June, but the whole of the en campment will not be formed until the first week of the Ascot races. The encampment, as viewed from almost any part of the heath, will, no doubt, form one of the grandest mili tary spectaeleswhich has been witnessed in England for more than lalf a century. INDIAN DISPATCHES. The Gazette of yesterday evening publishes an extract of a dispatch from Brigadier-General Steel, C. 8., dated the 23d February, in which he report the occupation of Tounghoo by the force under his command, and the ex pulsion of the Burmese troops from the eastern side of the province. The details of the operations have already been published in our columns. Tounghoo is thus described :—" The force marched again the following morning, the 18th February, and, coming on without a halt, was able to reach the Sitang river, at Thantabin, by a march of 18i miles, on the 21st instant. On the opposite bank of the river, attended by a party of thirty men, armed with muskets, a mounted officer was seen, who hailed the first of our advance who entered the bed of the river, asking what we wanted ; saying we were both great nations and ought not to be at war ! He was informed in reply that if he had any communication to make, he might come across the river ; he declined this proposal very peremp torily, and shortly afterwards the whole party disap peared. I have since learned that he is named illoun grlay-, an officer of some rank, and that he returned direct to this city. The river, about four feet deep at the ford, with a rapid current, was passed yesterday, commencing at daylight. The guns were all over, the troops cross ing on the elephants, and the line of march formed on the right bank in order for the advance by seven a.m. We were met, not far from the river, by two of the chief officers of this city, attended by a great number of the inhabitants with offerings of fruits, and expressing in many ways besides the open avowal in words, their ex treme joy at our arrival. Thus accompanied, the troops, at ten a.m., entered this extraordinary city. It is a large square enclosure, surrounded by a high brick wall, with solid rampart, and outside by a broad wet ditch ; each face is considerably upwards of a mile in length. The town occupies but a small portion of the enclosure ; temples, kyooms or monasteries, groves of lofty trees, and extensive fruit gardens, are interspersed among large open spaces, in one of which the force is now encamped. There is also a large natural tank. In the arsenal the guns and ammunition were found, of which a return is enclosed. The wall is of a very an cient date, and the place is untenable as a fortification, independently of its vast size, from the extensive dilapi dation of the wall in many places, and the weak points offered by the exposed position of all the wooden gates : the latter have been newly put up within the last three months, and attempts recently made to repair the fallen EXHIBITION OF CABINET WORK.—Four van loads of highly valuable specimens for this exhibition have been removed this week from Windsor Castle to Gore-house, Kensington. Besides the contributions of her Majesty. the Queen, the Dukes ofJlamilton, Buccleuch, Devon shire, and Northumberland, the Earls Spencer and Am herst, the Lords Willoughby d'Eresby and De l'lsle, Sir Anthony Rothschild, Mr. Charles Mills, Mr. C. B. Wall, M.P., Mr. H. Maquiac, Mr. James Morrison, Mr. George Field, Mr. I. K. Brunel, Mr. E. Pownall, Mr. John Auldjo, Mr. J. Swaly, Mr. D. M. Davison, the Rev. M. Taylor, Mr. H. Farrer, and other gentle men have liberally consented to lend valuable examples for public instruction in the production of cabinet work. IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS TO THE ROMAN CATHOLICS. —The anniversary meeting of this society was held yes terday morning in the large room of Exeter-hall, his Grace the Duke of Manchester presiding. The meeting having been opened with prayer, the report of the com mittee (of which the following is an abstract) was read : —During the past year 2,000,000 handbills had been circulated, each containing some polemical question ad dressed to Roman Catholics, and their effects had been very satisfactory. In this work the committee had been joined by the Irish Society, with which the Irish Church Missions was now amalgamated. The Irish Society agreed not to appeal for funds in England on considera tion of receiving from the Irish Church Missionary Society the yearly help of 3,0001_ Th e reneipt of the society cierie, 1852 amounted to 29,9311. 19s. 6d., of which 2,9701. 17s. 10d . was remitted from Ireland, besides other entailer sums too lately received to be in cluded in the years account. The amount expended during the year was 24,3221. 19s. 6d., leaving a balance of 6,7511. 12s. 11d., of which 2,1091. were in Exche quer Bills. This report was received and adopted nem. con., and after passing various resolutions, the meeting thanked the chairman, and separated. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE. —The town of Somerton was thrown into a state of great excitement on Wednesday, by the discovery of a most diabolical outrage that had been perpetrated during the night. The stables of the Globe and White Hart Inns, in which were two valua ble stallions, bad been broken into, and the animals hamstrung, and so cut about the hocks, that they were obliged to be killed. One of them, the property of Mr. Jacobs, of Baltonsborough, is said to have been worth 200 guineas. Of course, instant and active steps were taken to discover th e perpetrators of such atrocious cruelty.—Sherborne Journal. LINCOLN APRIL GREAT HORSE FAlR.—This impor tant fair, which is held for the first three days exclusively for the sale of horses, commenced on Monday last, but the number brought forward during the three days of its continuance was much less than usual, although there were many hundreds of first-class animals ; and, owing to the great demand, the attendance of buyers from all parts was unusually large. From the commencement until the - close, on Wednesday evening, horses of all de scriptions were eagerly bought up at extraordinary prices. Carriage horses, young and sound, realised 80 to 120 guineas each ; many splendid animals of good colour and symmetry, if well matched, sold without dif yf. oung horse, e fo ith 2 e 6 r o guineas for ridi n t g h e pair or d r i ; v l a n n o d , every was readilys o n d sold at high prices. The supply not being nearly equal to the demand, cart-horses were much sought after, and sold freely, the best 5-year at 45 guineas up to 65 guineas each. Indeed all descriptions, from the little pony to the nrsdy Friday, andse yho r,'Th Saturdaywerenever were e w for to t b h e e s sale dear. of cattle anC sheep. MARon of POLITENESS.— The cabmen in Palace-yard have prated so much by the remarks of their fares, the members Parliament and reporters, that in abusing one anothir they now never say, "You must be a pre cious stupid donkey," but, " You must be the man wot ventilates the House of Commons."—Punch. MINING GENCE. (Frontthe Mining Journal of this day.) The general tone of the market has been better this week, and upon the expectation that the smelters will not lower the standard much below 130 at present, there have been few buyers of dividend stocks, and also of many of the first-class progressive mines. Amongst the latter there has been a good demand for Sidneys, at advanced prices, and also for Pen-y-Gelli, Uny, Herod scombe, and Tehidy. Many of the new concerns brought out at high premiums are very fiat. United shares are firmer in consequence of a new tin lode having been cut, and reported worth 301. per fm. The Nova Scotia scheme, with its reported 900,000/. worth of copper ores discovered, and which was at once to flood us with metal, and ruin many of our home mines, is reported to have ended —in smoke. The " copper" ores are said to have been condemned by Messrs Jehu Hitchins and Petherick as of "no commercial value." According to the Times, the company is to be wound up, and the capital, less the expenses, returned to the shareholders. On the other hand, this statement is considered to be premature—it certainly wants con firmation : should it, however, prove partially true, it will be but sorry consolation to many who, upon the faith of the names published in the prospectus as trustees and directors, were led to buy shares at 21. and 31. prem., though we confess we feel but little sympathy for those who seem to, ignore the existence of bona fide speculations at home, but eagerly run after any foreign scheme, when even the reports are so extravagantly absurd that, to any one acquainted with mining opera tions, they would carry their own refutation with them. It is singular, too, that all these wonderful mineral dis coveries abroad are always made when there is a furor for speculation in England ! In the Bullion Market—Mexican and South Ameri can dollars, 4s. Hid. per oz. But silver containing gold, all gold above five grains in the pound to be paid for ss. 18d. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold, ss. 18d. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. American eagles, 765. per oz. In the Metal Market, tin and pig iron have sustained a further depreciation, the former article being reduced nominally to 51. Bs. per cwt. for English block, and Si. 9s. for bar, both under the quoted price of Banca and Straits, and very little business doing in either, or in plates. The stoppage of a large speculator (Mr. Attwood) has brought Scotch pig down to 2/. 9s. per ton in Glasgow, and created quite a panic. All other descriptions of iron are in fair demand, and present rates well supported. The gold mining share market has been firmer this week. So far as the Californian adventures are con cerned, there are great indications of a revival of acti vity. The successful progress of the Agua Fria Com pany has imparted a feeling of confidence, and the share holders are looking out for very favourable accounts. In the Australian • mining market the feeling has also been firmer, in sympathy ; but with the excep tion of Colonial Gold, which remains in much favour, there is no particular inquiry. On Thursday, there was greater activity displayed, and the more favourable descriptions of stock were in demand— the market closing with considerable firmness. This same healthy feeling likewise extended over the whole of the operations yes terday, and it is presumed that it will be some time pre vious to any reaction taking place. The quantity of gold, which it is computed has been raised from the Oven's diggings, is not less than 200,000 ozs. The num ber of persons calculated to be on the entire diggings is from 7,000 to 8,000 ; of these about 6,000 are on the Upper and Lower Spring Creek. The first Government escort left on the 3d November, and took with it about 2,500 ozs. That which started on the 12th January had upwards of 15,000 ozs. At the Rocky River about 110 persons were at work, who were averaging from 1/. to 2/. perman per working day. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. ( From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) GERMAN WOOL.—We have little to say about the business done in wool during the month of April. The whole stock of this article in Berlin does not exceed a few thousand hundredweights, including every descrip tion. In low fleece wools, at 40 to 50 rix dollars, some bargains have been made for Hamburg account. Slipes and skins are in good demand for the inland consump tion, and still rising in prices. LONDON WOOL TRADE.—The market is firm. The imports into London during the week ending to-day have been 1,777 bales, of which 1,107 were from Port Philip, 313 from Alexandria, 140 from Mogadore, 55 from Germany, 38 from Spain, 140 from Holland, and the rest from the Cape of Good Hope. The accounts of Jan. 12 from Port Philip state that large quantities of the new season's clip were coming into town, and were being rapidly shipped. Three or four vessels would be ready to leave in ten days or a fortnight. In the English wool market thesis is no material alte ration in the demand for combing and clothing wool this week. Prices are firm and stationary. In the Liverpool wool market the public sales last week so cleared the market that there is very little busi ness doing now. Any arrivals sell readily at full rates. Imports drying the past week-134 bales Callas, 320 Buenos Ayres, 211 Constantinople, 63 Egyptian, and 18 Mogadore. With regard to the state of the Leeds woollen cloth market, we have no change of any importance to report. A good steady trade continues to be done in nearly all descriptions of goods that are suitable for the season. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—The flannel market continues good, notwithstanding it is that part of the year when the demand for goods of this description is usually the slackest. English wool is becoming very scarce, and it is said that the dealers are already buying the coming clip at the present price at which wool is TRADE OF LEICESTER.—The trade of Yorkshire con tinues good, and, consequently, the consumption o wools is large, and its value increasing. PROPOSED TAX ON TRADING LICENOES. Yesterday a meeting, consisting of deputations from Norwich, Cambridge, and Brighton, Southwark, and Lambeth, and other parties interested in the tea and other licensed trades, was held at Radley's Hotel, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, with a view to consider the increased duties contemplated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon trading licences ; Mr. R. Rowe, in the chair. The following letter on the subject from the right hon. gentleman to Mr. Moffat, M.P., was read : " Downing-street, April 27, 1853. " My dear Sir,—l have received many representations of the grocers, tea-dealers, and other classes affected by the new scale of licences from other pars of the country as well as from London. The question is one which I can much more advantageously consider with the aid of written statements showing the application of particular scales than in successive conversations with the parties. I should be much obliged if they would, in the first instance, favour me with any such written statements, which will have my careful consideration. The scale, as it now stands in print, must certainly be altered, and I will take care that the changes to be introduced into it are printed at such time as shall give sufficient notice to all parties concerned before the scale is submitted for the sanction of Parliament. Should those on whose part you write then be of opinion that an interview is requisite, I shall be happy to see them • nor will the fact that the scale will have been re printed in any manner narrow their liberty of objecting, or of hearing objections. " I remain (s , i v g e n r e y d) faithfu , llywy.ocrurzADSTONE., " S. Moffatt, Esq., M.P." Mr. Peto, M.P., and Mr. Warner, M.P., then briefly addressed the meeting. On the motion of Mr. Cope man several resolutions were carried, recording the strong objections of the meeting to the increased duty on trading licences, and stating that the withdrawal of this proposition the previous evening, as announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the expressed ob ject of reconsideration, was alike honourable to the Minister and satisfactory to the meeting, at the same time expressing its intention to watch most vigilantly the amended proposition. It was also determined that a memorial embodying the views of the meeting, and describing in detail the unjust operation of the contem plated tax, should be forwarded to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, together with the resolution. The meeting then adjourned. APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—A ma trimonial alliance is arranged, and will shortly take place between the Lord Colville of Culross and the eldest daughter of Lord Carington. RE-PAVING OF CHEAPSIDE.-0 wing to the great de lay and consequent inconvenience necessarily caused to the vast traffic of this enormous and important thorough fare, the repairs are being proceeded with all possible rapidity, and in the meantime the public and other ve hicles are obliged to take a circuitous route of the nar row streets on either side to and from the different parts of the metropolis to their destination. The repairs have already been completed as far as Bow Church, and the thoroughfare is now open from the Mansion-House to King-street, and at the upper end beyond Wood-street. The repairs, which were muc h nee d e d, w ill be continued to the end of Cheapside, westward, and when the whole is completed, which will be effected as quickly aspos sible, this most important thoroughfare will bein a strong and durable condition. establishment N ATIONAL VACCINE for the both houses of Parliament.
