',._., LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 2S, 1853 Interest is still kept alive in reference to the diplomatic negotiations yet going forward at Con stantinople—negotiations between the Sublime, Porte and the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh—nego tiations between the Russian Plenipotentiary and the Turkish Government—negotiations watched with a jealous regard both by the French and by the English Ambassador. Happily not only for the interests of the SULTAN, but for those, also, of the Balance of Power throughout the Eulopean Continent, there has been all along maintained, there is still Lt this moment maintained, and there will continue henceforth sedulously to be main tained, the most perfect accord between the views cherished in this matter by the Ministerial ad visers of the EMPEROR of the French and of the QUEEN cf . Great Britain and Ireland. Yes terday that important assurance was given authoritatively in both Houses of the Im perial Parliament. It was given in the ELMS of Lords by the Earl of CLARENDON, in answer to the ex-Foreign Secretary. It was given in the House of Commons by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in answer to the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer. The country has reason to be thankful for the energetic promptitude through which a declaration of so much value and signifi cance was extorted from the Administration— here by Mr. DISRAELI and there by Lord MALMES BURY. In consequence of the interrogatories ad dressed to the occupants of the Treasury benches by that Noble Earl and that Right Honourable Gentleman, the Coalition Cabinet has been com pelled to avow in explicit terms the nature of the policy now being carried out on behalf of her Britannic MAJESTY by the English Ambassador at Constantinople. Referring to the position now oc cupied by that diplomatist, andto the simultaneous situation, likewise, of the diplomatic Representative of the Emperor NAPOLEON at the Court of his Majesty, the Sultan A BD-UL-MEDJID, the Earl of CLARENDON avowed last evening in so many words,—" I have no hesitation in saying that they are acting in concert in carrying out the in tentions of their respective Governments, between whom there exists the most cordial concert and identity of feeling." Than this, we maintain, no declaration, by possibility, could, under existing circumstances, be more eminently satisfactory. Speaking upon the same subject, and in a kindred spirit, Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed last evening— " I may state that there has been the most per fect concert and accordance of views between her MAJESTY'S Ambassador at Constantinople and the Ambassador of the Emperor of the FRENCH"—an announcement welcomed yesterday in the House of Commons with acclamations ! So much for the sinister insinuations recently thrown out in cer tain quarters, in reference to what were termed " insuperable obstacles to a common and united action " between France and England in this Russo-Turkish difficulty ! So much for the shameful misrepresentations promulgated to the effect that no further reliance could now be placed in the union of the two great nations of Western Europe—in their union, that is to say, in opposing the arrogant and domineering policy of the Rus sian AUTOCRAT ! So far from this being the case, " the most perfect concert" is declared by Lord JOHN RUSSELL to characterise the views entertained upon the matter in question by the Ambassador of VICTORIA and by the Ambassador of NAPOLEON at C o nstantinople !—the Earl of CLARENDON assert ing, moreover, in the Upper House, that there is an ab * 4)l Alte " identity of feeling" upon the subject in the Nay, it , Cabinets of those August Sovereigns ! Bri tish 110 7 ,3 b ee n formally proclaimed in the Minister of En C ommons, by the virtual Prime cordially clie:u.ed by th an(' the assurance has been " distinctly the popular representatives— that it is tions transmitted froymaet forth" in the instruc- STRATFORD DE RIEDCLIfFE, Downing -street to Lord of her MAJESTY'S Governnieutthal- the policy tain inviolate the faith of treaties, to main and the independence and integrity of the Turkish Em -10 • t and pi re." A noble, jjut,u s t, honourable declaration --a declaration c:edils‘ble to the eminent States men holding office in the present AdministratiGn. Everything, therefore, may be said to augur t well at this moment , for the future fortunes of t The reigning SULTAN the Turkish Govern men . pusillanimous ABD is no effete or UL -M ED JID, on the contrary, has, w ith all his faults and weaknesses, a nature at once bold, patriotic , and hlour of magnanimous, the heart, the arm, au d t e va s to uphold the a great Prince, ready at all hazaid. tain the integ dignity of his ;rowu and to maul rity of the dominions which have descended to him from his heroic forefathers. He has recently, moreover, and in a wonderful manner, strengthened his Government. By reinstating RESCHID PACHA at the head of the Foreign Department in his Cabi net, he has dedicated the energies of the ablest statesman in his empire to the furtherance of a pa triotic policy and to the maintenance of the exist ing Administration. He is supported, moreover, simultaneously, cordially, and resolutely by the Ambassadors of France and England, the Repre sentatives of the Sovereigns of the two most im portant and powerful nations of Christendom. The SULTAN may rest assured of this, that neither of these illustrious Monarchs will consent to allow an infamous act of aggression to take place in regard to Turkey on the part of the tyrannical Russian Government. Encroachments such as those which were recently attempted to be carried out by Prince MENSCHIKOFF in the name of the Czar Nicnolas will never be quietly tolerated either by Queen VICTORIA or by the Emperor ITAIDLEON. Such are the political truths which constitute, in reality, the palladium of the in terests of Turkey and the talisman of the fortunes of the Sultan ABD-UL-MEDJID. The Income Tax Bill progresses in due form. There is scarcely an appearance of opposition. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, strong in the support of what has been appropriately termed " his large and well-disciplined majority," listens with a smile of contemptuous indifference to the serious objections to the details of the measure, overrules the arguments adduced, and, if a divi sion should be hazardod, carries his point by over whelming numbers. It is, indeed, an irksome task to chronicle and comment upon such pro ceedings, and to note progress of the Bill. Nothing but an imperative sense of duty could induce us to notice the disgusting subject, but until it is finally disposed of we shall not abstain from our exertions, although our efforts may be attended with scarcely a hope of success. The amendment of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman the member for Youghal, to which we referred in our impression of yesterday, was brought forward in due course and negatived by a majority of 156, there being only 49 votes in its favour, while 205 were recorded against the proposed exemption. The Right Honourable Baronet, the First Lord of the Admiralty, must have felt rather queerly when he heard his own arguments, delivered within a few months, pressed so strongly against the propositions of a Government of which he is himself a leading member. Are persons having in comes between 1001. and 1501. per annum no longer entitled to the favourable consideration of Sir JAMES GRAHAM ? Are they not those who have the greatest difficulty in maintaining their posi tions ? Or has the " point at which the fustian jacket ceases to be worn, and broad cloth comes into use among the working classes" varied in any, and what respect, since the month of December ? or have the circumstances of the working clergy of the Established Church, or of Dissenting minis ters, materially improved since that time ? There have been no alterations in these particulars. The only difference is, that those who were then her MAJESTY'S Opposition now occupy the Treasury Benches ; and the result is that matters which, under another Ministry, would be resisted toto ado are now not merely tolerated, but hailed with enthu siasm, and carried by acclamation. The Honourable Gentleman, the Member for Manchester, in ex posing the slovenly and confused manner in which the Bill is framed, and showing that it is nearly unintelligible, thought it necessary to apologise for putting forward any objection to the measure of the Financial Autocrat—to assure him that it was not done with any feeling of hostility: as evi dence whereof, he would not bring forward any motion by way of amendment, leaving everything in the hands and at the disposal of the Right Honourable Gentleman. And this is the course generally pursued by persons who were once in dependent Members who would have scorned to follow blindly in the train of any Minister. The chief feature of last night's discussion was that a leading member of the quondam Protection ists (the Marquis of GRANBY) afforded an explana tion of the carelessness and apathy exhibited by the Opposition to the details of the measure. The Noble Marquis voted against the amendment, because he thought the best chance of getting rid of the Income Tax was to make all classes feel its inequalities, pressure, and injustice. He explained that his vote, in favour of the amend ment of Sir BULWER LYTTON, although di f fering from its object, was solely given because lie dis approved of the Budget. Thus taking the oppo site extreme from Messrs. HUME and COBDEN, who voted against that with which they cordially con curred for the purpose of strengthening the party. We admire the candour of the Noble Lord, although we must unequivocally condemn the pro priety and morality of his proceedings. He has, however, what is vulgarly termed, " let the cat out of the bag," and thrown a new light on the motives and conduct of the party with whom lie usually acts,—a light that reveals the reasons why forty supporters of the DERBY Administration supported the financial scheme of Mr. GLADSTONE, and places in the clearest point of view the pre viously unaccountable absence of a well-devised and bona fide opposition in committee. The truth is, that the Noble Lord and his associates endured, rather than approved, of the equitable and popu lar portion of Mr. DISRAELI'S Budget. If their wishes had been consulted, there would have been no recognition of distinction between permanent and precarious income. They sustained the Minister for party purposes, although disapproving of his mea sures. And those measureswere more liberal—more in accordance with the principles of " unrestricted competition"—more favourable to the industrial classes, to the physical and intellectual toilers, than those of the present Financial Minister. And thus it is that Mr. DISRAELI is unable to bring forward, with any hope of success, the pro positions to which he alluded when consenting to the second reading of the Bill. Is this conflict ever to prevail between the propertied and the industrious classes ? Will the owners of real estate never see that their best interests are involved in the protection and encouragement of labour, which gives value and stability to their property ? An unprejudiced person would easily perceive that the interests of both parties are one and in divisible—that anything which materially affects the labour market must also depreciate property, which increases in value in a direct ratio with the comfort and contentment of the people. The Marquis of GRAXBY will not take this enlarged and comprehensive view ; on the contrary, he looks through a narrow and distorted medium. He will not render justice to industry, and, as a natural consequence, he may find that the support of the working classes may be withheld from his class and order at a time when it would be pe culiarly valuable. We perceive, by an announcement in another part of our paper, that the South Australian Copper Mining Company have dispatched the remaining portion of their engineering and mining staff for Adelaide by the fast sailing clipper-ship Agra. The prospects of this com pany are daily improving, and much is confidently ex pected from the skill, energy, and enterprise of their well-selected officers. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The birthday of his Majesty the King of Hanover, born 1819, was observed here with the customary honours. The bells of the Castle and Windsor churches rang merry peals throughout the day, and Royal salutes were fired at Virginia Water, Fort Belvedere, and the Bachelors' Acre. THE DIVISION ON CHURCH RATES . .—There are some curious features to be found in the division upon Sir William Clay's motion for the aholitiou of church rates. As regards the representation of the metropolis it is a very significant fact, that every metropolitan member, with the exception of Lord John Russell and his Tory colleague, Mr. Masterman, voted for the motion. Lord John Russell spoke strongly in favour of the continu anceo of this odious impost, but some of his colleagues in is due to Sir avt 7 g r e . elved not vote with him. The Attorney-General, Charles Villiers, and the Earl of Mulgrave declined to vote, much to their honour. But still greater merit Cabinet - State ; Mr. Bernal iOn Henry Colonel Boyle, P c Solicitor-General, Y their chief, but actually Fitzroy, Under Secretary , of to the Queen ; and Mr. Bethcll, ally vote d called upon to resign b th or e ll ir e when members of a Govern men t sell, or any of his Puseyit aS e illiam o A n l o o t lesworth,a member of the the gentlemen we have named? —.Morning Advertiser. elllee a . ary to the Admiralty ; merely . declined voting with against him.

MONEY MARKRT AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market was inanimate but firm. Railway Shares were flat. The statement of the Bank of England for the week to the 21st inst., will disappoint many be cause of the continued reduction in the amount of bullion. It is probable, however, that none of the Australian gold lately received has yet come into the account ; and, as the precious metal is arriving rather freely from the United States and South America, and very little is being shipped to Australia, it is not to be assumed that any marked reduction will take place in the amount held by the Bank. The circulation was on the decline up to last Saturday, as the necessary result of the increasing public deposits. Discounts and loans were more freely taken, and the withdrawal of private deposits is another proof of the more active demand for money. Contrasted with the previous return, the changes are as follows : £22,638,755 524,050 17,950,524 268,493 2,156,577 Increase 4,831 Public Deposits 5,815,477 Increase 719,786 Other Deposits Decrease 57,904 Seven-day and other Bills 1,326,133 Decrease 57,069 Government Securities No alteration. Other Securities 14,368,263 Increase 354,087 Notes unemployed 8,734,030 Increase 305,810 Active circulation Decrease Bullion Decrease Rest The transactions in Foreign Bills of Exchange, yesterday afternoon were at rather fuller rates. Paris, 90 days, was negotiated at 25 27i to 30 ; Hamburgh, at 13 84 to ; Amsterdam, at 11181 to 19 ; and Trieste, at 10 54 to 56. The exports of gold direct from London amounted in the week ending Thursday last to 701ozs. of gold, and 232,3580z5. of silver. In Stocks there is very little doing, and prices are much the same as they closed yesterday. Con sols 100 l for money and time. Bank Stock is firm at 230. Exchequer Bills are dull at ls. pre mium. In the Foreign Market scarcely anything is doing. Spanish New Deferred are 23but Mexican have declined to 26g. Sardinian Bonds are at 98/. Dutch 4- per Cents. bring 651. The English Railway Shares are flatter, with very few transactions, but the French Lines are higher. Gold Mine Shares are dull, and also the Land Companies and Banks. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.

Mr. Roney, to whose herculean exertions the success of the Dublin Exhibition must unquestionably be attri buted, will receive from the Government, early in autumn, a well-merited recognition of the services which he has rendered to Ireland, and the cause of indus trial progress throughout Great Britain and our colonies. It has been officially communicated to Mr. Honey, that on the occasion of formally closing the Dublin Industrial Temple, either in October or November, the Lord-Lieu tenant will confer upon him the honour of knighthood, as an evidence of the high estimation in which his ener getic labours for the benefit of Ireland and the intel lectual advancement of the Irish people are held by the Government. We believe this well-merited and grace ful compliment would have been conferred by the Queen when she visits Ireland in August, but that Mr. Roney's engagements in Canada render his return to the Irish metropolis utterly impossible before the period fixed for the State closing of the Exhibition by her Majesty's re presentative. THE BRADFORD PEEL MONUMENT.— The committee of the subscribers to this monument met on Wednesday last, and decided that the monument shall consist of a bronze statue of the deceased statesman by Mr. Behnes. A great number of other sculptors had sent in models, but that by Mr. Behnes was almost unanimously pre ferred by the committee. The cost is to be a thousand guineas. Mr. Behnes was the successful competitor for the Leeds Peel statue. The one for Bradford will not be a copy of that erected at Leeds. THE RING.—A fresh match was made between Harry Broome and the Tipton Slasher, at Jem Burn's, Rising Sun, Air-street, on Friday night, to fight for 3001. aside and the championship in four months. 101. a side were staked, and they meet to-morrow night, at Jem Burn's, to increase the stakes to 1001. a side, and draw articles. CLITHEROE ELECTION. —The nomination took place on Thursday, in the Market-place, Clitheroe. The can didates to be returned to the House of Commons are Mr. J. Thomas Walshman Aspinall and Mr. Richard Fort. A close contest is expected. Rumours of more bribery are spread about, and complaints of " bottling " electors are audible already. The mayor having opened the proceedings, a notice of disqualification was served on Mr. Aspinall. Mr. John Taylor, of Morton, nominated that gentleman. The nomi nation was seconded by Mr. R. Dewhurst. Mr. Fort was nominated by Mr. G. Foster, of Tabden ; and the nomination seconded by Mr. Hervey Thomson, of Primrose. Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Fort then respec tively addressed the electors—the latter gentleman at considerable length—and answered questions put to them by the constituents. On a show of hands, the numbers were in favour of Mr. Fort by a very large majority. A poll was then demanded for the other candidate, and was fixed for yesterday (Friday.) KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—The usual general quar terly court of the governors and subscribers to this charitable institution was held yesterday afternoon in the board room of the institution, Carey-street, Lincoln's inn-fields, for the purpose of transacting the ordinary business of the institution. From the report it appeared that the total number of patients in the house, on the Ist of January last, was 110 ; admitted during the quarter ending Lady-day, 281—total 390. Received by letters of recommendation, 77 ; urgent cases without letters, 180 ; accidents, 23—total 280. Of this num ber 159 were males, and. 121 females. During the same period there had been discharged, cured or relieved, 247 ; unrelieved, 10 ; incurable, 1 ; disorderly, 1; died, 16 ; and there were remaining in the house on the 25th of March, 115. The number of out-patients attended to during the quarter was 4,326, and 164 poor married women were attended to during their confinement. The total number of in-patients admitted since the opening of the institution was 15,691, and of out-patients, in cluding midwifery cases, 215,549 —giving a total of 231,250. The report concluded by calling upon the public for increased support. The report was received, and the meeting adjourned. CURIOUS CHARGE AGAINST AND COMMITTAL OF A GENTLEMAN.—Mr. John Francis Huddlestone, a gentle man, understood to be of large property, was on Thursday fined Si. by the Liverpool magistrates for stealing two newspapers from the Exchange Reading Rooms on the previous day. Mr. Huddlestone was observed to enter the room, wrap up the two papers—the Liverpool Times and Gore's Advertiser—and then to walk over to Crooked Billet Inn, where he ordered dinner. During his meal he road the papers in question, and afterwards, the officials haiing watched him, he was apprehended by a police-officer and locked up. His defence was, that he intended to return the papers, and that he had fre quently borrowed them in a similar way before. He was formerly a subscriber to the rooms. The incident has created a good deal of sensation amongst the habitues of the Liverpool Exchange " flags." THE WHALERS.—UNENVIABLE Fix.—The Intrepid, Greenland ship, landed the Shetland part of her crew a t Lerwick on the 9th inst. She brings home with her a first-rate cargo of seals. Her report of the state of the fishings is similar to that in our last. The seamen give an account of an encounter of the mate with a number of bears, and his hair-breadth escape. It appears that the mate, when forming one of the ships' companies, which had travelled some distance from the ship in search cf seals, took it into his head to start on a solitary voyage of discovery. The step was resolutely opposed by his shipmates, but to no purpose. Away lie would and did go, nor did he become fully aware of the danger of his situation until he discovered himself in the centre of a circle whose radii were Polar bears. These, however, lie succeeded in keeping at bay by a liberal supply of "silkies," till they were filled to satisfaction, when they left our friend in his glory. Now at liberty, he returned to his floating home, which, after perform ing most remarkable feats in transporting himself from one iceberg to another, on a detached portion of the same material, he reached in safety, to the no small joy of his companions.—john O'Groat Journal, ELECTION OF CHAMBERLAIN. STATE OF THE POLL THIS DAY. THREN O'CLOCK. Sir John Key Mr. Benjamin Scott Majority for Key 2729 . 2658 ELECTION COMMITTEBS.-(THIS DAY.) SLIGO. The committee appointed to try the petition presented against the return of Mr. Townley sat this morning at 11 o'clock ; Mr. Divett in the chair. Mr. E. James, Mr. Temple, and Mr. Jones appeared for the petitioners; Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, Mr. Slade, and Mr. Huddlestone for the sitting member. The petition alleges intimidation by violence and riot ing, intimidation by priestly influence and denunciations from the altar, and the usual allegations of bribery and treating. _ Mr. E. James was opening the case when our report left. LIVERPOOL. The committee appointed to try and determine the petition against the return of Mr. Forbes Makenzie and Mr. Turner sat this morning at one o'clock. The mem bers of the committee were Mr. W. Williams, Mr. Freshfield, Mr. J. Ball, and Mr. Maxwell, with Mr. Ingham in the chair. Mr. Sergt. Kinglake, Mr. Macaulay, and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the petitioners ; Mr. E. James, Mr. M. Smith, and Mr. Rodwell for the sitti n g members. The petition charges bribery and corrupt treating. After agreeing to the usual formal resolution, the committee adjourned until 11 o'clock on Monday. PETERBOROUGH. The committee appointed to inquire into the allega tions in the petition against the return of Mr. George Whalley for Peterborough, assembled for the first time to-day at 12 o'clock. The members of the committee were Mr. K. Seymer (chairman), Mr. Philip, Mr. Shafto, Mr. J. H. Hamil ton, and Mr. Greach. Counsel for the petitioners--Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, and Mr. Edwin James ; for the sitting member—Mr. Sergeant Allen, and two other learned gentlemen. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake opened the case in behalf of the petitioners. The substance of the petition was, that the election was brought about by bribery, treating, and other corrupt practices on the part of the sitting mem ber and his agents. A scrutiny was also prayed for, Mr. Cornwall Lewis, the defeated candidate, claiming the seat, on the ground that he had a majority of votes. The numbers polled were, for Mr. Whalley, 233 votes, and Mr. Cornwall Lewis, 218. The elec tion took place on the 4th of December last, a vacancy having been created by the death of Mr. Fitzwilliam, the late sitting member. In the course of the election Mr. Whalley gave a monster tea-party, at which 500 persons were present, and it would be shown that that had a very seductive influence upon the wives and chil dren of voters. As many as twenty-four public houses were kept open by the sitting member. Three days after the election a dinner was given by him at the Great Northern Hotel. The tickets were ss. each ' • and 110 guests were present, and Mr. Whalley paid 381. for the wine consumed by those present. There could be no doubt that the dinner was given for electioneering purposes—the majority of the guests being voters. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, Prince Ar thur, the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa, and the infant prince, left Osborne for London at five minutes before three o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Royal suite consisted of the Viscountess Jocelyn, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. A Gordon, the Master of the Household, and Mr. Gibbs. Her Majesty and the Royal party embarked at Cowes in the Fairy steam-yacht, commanded by Lord Adol phus Fitzclarence, crossed to Gosport, and travelled by a special train on the London and South-Western Rail way to the new station at Vauxhall, proceeding from the station in several of the Queen's carriages, escorted by a detachment of the 13th Light Dragoons to Buck ingham Palace, where the august party arrived at ten minutes before seven o'clock. The Queen and the Prince were received at the Pa lace by the Duke of Norfolk, the Marquis of Breadal bane, Lord Ernest Bruce, Earl Somers, Sir Edward Bowater, and Colonel Wylde. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge yesterday, at her residence in St. James's Palace. A deputation from the University of London, con sisting of the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Sir James Clark, Sir Stephen Love Harnmick, Mr. Warburton, and Dr. Billing, had an interview with Viscount Pal merston yesterday, at the Home-office. A deputation from the City Terminus Company, con sisting of Mr. Ayrton (chairman)_; Messrs. Lawrence, Virtue, White, lie Laine, Lucas, Hague, Tyler, and Sheriff Croll (directors) ; Mr. Burchell (solicitor), Mr. Sidney Smith (secretary), and Mr. Charles Pearson (pro jector); and a deputation from the Improvement Com mittee of the Corporation of London, consisting of Mr. T.

Any newspapers for the Danish Colonies, in the West Indies, which may be specially directed to be sent " by private ship," will be liable hereafter to a postage of one penny each, instead of to a rate of twopence, as formerly. Four estates in Lower Canada, the property of the Gasp Fishery and Coal Mining Company, containing , about 133,000 acres, are ordered for sale by public auc tion on Thursday next, through Mr. Robins. This large and valuable property, some portion of which is so advantageously situated, is justly described in that gentleman's particulars. A further interest is attached to the sale of a portion of these lands, as the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada is intended to run in the im mediate vicinity of such portion. As an emigration scheme it may be said to possess every desirable feature. Should the whole of the property be sold, it is not un likely we may see another company spring from this, and which might meet with considerable favour in the eyes of the emigrating world if the terms and conditions are drawn up and offered to the public on a fair and liberal basis, Eibtrb Mbitton SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. IMPORTANT FROM TURKEY. POSITIVE DEPARTURE OF PRINCE MENSCHIKOFF. BY SUBMARINE AND EUROPEAN TELEGRAPH. PARIS, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1 P.M. The following authentic and most important dis patch has just been received here : CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 22. Confidential negotiations were continued between Prince Menschikoff and the Divan till late last night. But this morning the Russian Envoy has posi- tively taken his departure. The rest of the Lega tion will follow him immediately.—Second Edition Morning Post. STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of this clay.) MANCHESTER, May 27.—American advices to the 11th inst. and subsequent accounts to the 14th inst. show that disappointment at the tameness of the Liverpool market had occasioned a decline of fully c. per lb. in the price of cotton at New York and New Orleans. The total receipts amounted to 3,017,000 bales against 2,742,000 at the corresponding date of last year. The Liverpool market has continued inanimate since our last advice ; yet cotton has quietly gained in value, and is found by purchasers to be id. to id. per lb. dearer this week than it was a fortnight ago. In this market, the prices of yarns have exhibited a gradual upward tendency ; and, taking an average of the me dium and lower counts of mule and water, in all forms, we consider the advance to be id. per lb. within the last 16 days. Last week, there was a complete interrup tion of business after the Tuesday's market ; but, since the holidays, there has continued to be a good demand, both for shipment and for home consump tion. The rise of prices has undoubtedly restricted the operations of buyers, and yet sales to a considerable amount have been effected. Alto gether, the position of the spinner has latterly been undergoing an improvement in consequence of the price of his production having risen more than that of the raw material. For jacconets, madapollams, the lower qualities of 40-inch shirtings, T cloths, and 7-8 and 9-8 printing cloths, there has been a steady demand at rather higher rates. As regards domestics, the situation of the manufacturer, which had slightly improved, is again changed for the worse, and that very decidedly, by the advance in yarns, which cannot now be made into cloth except at a serious loss. However, a rapid reduction of the stock, which has pressed so heavily on the market, is now taking place. This leads many to look for a speedy improvement. NOTTINGHAM, May 26.—The lace and hosiery trades are each in a less healthy state than we have had occa sion to report for some time past— the latter being to some extent overdone by too large a production. The dulness with respect to the former is owing to fashion being at present decidedly against us except for silk goods, for which there is yet a tolerably fair de mand. Silk is yet scarce and very dear, as is also cotton for each trade, and their does not appear to b prospect of any immediate reduction in the price of eitl one or the other.—Nottinghain Journal. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) GOLD MlNES.—Business in the gold mining shares this week has been almost entirely suspended. In the absence of late advices from Australia, and during a par tial holiday period, speculation in this department has been quite inert. As a natural consequence, the ten dency of prices has been unfavourable ; but, owing to holders refraining from forcing sales, the actual depres sion in prices has not been considerable. In miscellaneous shares business has been generally dull. MINICS.—The smelters having got rid of' the small buyers of copper ores, dropped the standard last week to 1131. 75., at a produce of 7i. They are, therefore, buying copper now at about Bd. or 9d. per lb., and selling it at 13d.—a goodly profit of something like 401. per ton, made out of the hard-working miner, and the capitalist who invests his money in mining undertakings. One company (the St. Day United) withdrew their ores from the ticketing, declining to take just what the smelters, by previous arrangements among them selves, chose to offer. Wheal Buller adventurers have left it to the discretion of the pursers to keep back any quantities of ores they may think proper, until a fair price can be obtained ; and if two or three of the large mines will follow the example, we shall soon have a better standard. The Devon Great Consols ores (2012 tons) sold last week for 10,3491. 17s. 6d., about 4,0001. less than they ought to have yielded, according to the price of copper; and as this is a monthly sale, here is a great and powerful com pany submitting quietly to a loss at the rate of 48,0001. a-year, when, were they to take the lead in forming a company for smelting their own ores, they would be joined not only by most of the mines in Cornwall, but supported liberally by the out-adventurers, who are so deeply interested in getting a fair price for their produce. The Share Market continues greatly depressed ; but mines are not alone neglected ; the depressing influence is felt in all stocks. For Mill Pool shares inquiries have been made, and they have advanced from 61. 10s. to 11/. per share—a discovery of a lode worth 2001. per fm. having been made. In the Metal Market, an increased business is gene rally doing.—Copper and Tin are both in more extended demand, and rates fully sustained; large transactions have this week taken place in Plates.--Spelter is up to 221. 15s. per ton, and higher rates expected.—Lead maintains its price.—Scotch Pig-iron has advanced to 51s. 6d. cash, and 535. for three months open. Railway and Manufactured Iron commands an extensive in quiry. In the Bullion Market,—Dollars, 4s. 11 d. per ounce. Pillar ditto, ss. 14d. per oz. Bar silver, ss. id. per oz. standard. Ditto, holding 5 grs. of gold, ss. lid. per ox. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. Span ish doubloons, 775. 6d. to 775. 9d. per oz. Columbian ditto, 765. 6d. to 765. 9d. per oz. Fine cake silver, ss. 51d. per oz. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) - - The imports of wool into London during the week have been 3,173 bales, of which 2,727 are from Port Philip, 216 from Sydney, 120 from Germany, and the rest from France. The public sales are going steadily, but the attendance of foreign buyers has not increased. On the continent, nevertheless, high prices are being paid. - In the foreign wool market no sales of any extent have been effected in this market since our last report, but a somewhat improved tone has been given to prices by the full rates which are now being paid at the pend ing London sales. In the English wool market sales of combing wools have been limited this week ; prices are without altera tion. In the Pontefract wool market, owing to the cold un genial weather the show of wool was limited. There was a good inquiry by the staplers, and hogs of prime quality fetched 215., mixed 17s. to 18s., half-bred 15s. to 16s. per stone. In consequence of an inadvertency, the prices of the wool sold at York on the 19th inst., noticed in our last, and also in the columns of some of our contemporaries, were erroneously stated. They should have been quoted at from 18s. to 21s. 6d. per stone of 141 lbs., the quar ter pound being allowed for draught. In the Liverpool wool market there is a steady de mand for wool at late prices. Imports the past week :- 323 East India, 180 Buenos Ayres, 30 Marseilles, 250 Lisbon. The flannel market of Rochdale has undergone very little change from that of the preceding Monday. The stocks in the hands of the manufacturers are very light, which shows that the demand for goods at this time of the year, which is nearly alw a y s th e s l ac k es t, i s equa l t o the supply. The wool market continues much the same ; the manufacturers buy very sparingly, and seem dis posed to use up the stocks they have on hand. With regard to the woollen trade of Leeds we have no material change to report this week. The ordinary business of the Cloth Halls is partially interrupted by the absence of many of the manufacturers, who are at tending the London wool sales, and by workmen who are whitewashing and cleaning the Coloured Cloth-hall. There has, we believe, been rather less business done during the last two or three market days than there was a few weeks since. Prices are firm. As the demand for the spring trade is now supplied, those warehouses that are chiefly engaged in the home business have been rather fiat and quiet during this week. There is a con siderable trade doing by the shipping houses in blankets and other heavy goods. RE-MARRIAGE OF A HINDOO WIDOW.—We beg to mention, on good authority, that recently a Hindoo girl, of a Kuhn Brahmin family at Kornugger, has been re-married to a neighbour of the village by her own father-in-law, she having been widowed at tho age of nine years. This unique occurrence has ex cited a great sensation in the place, and the subject is now under warm discussion among the orthodox lead ing member of the families of the locale, who have not only excommunicated the man given in marriage to his daughter-in-law, but have forbidden all from either dining or " tiffing " in his house on pain of ex communication. But money is now all powerful, and, in spite of their threatening denunciations, the man pro scribed has succeeded in winning over to his side a con siderable number of partisans by the sonorous recom mendations of the mint. We hope many will emulate the conduct of this man of uncommon moral fortitude, and thus break through the pernicious custom of keep ing their widows in constrained perpetual celibacy, which is found so detrimental in these days of the march of intellect.—Hurkaru, SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
