It will be seen that Lord JOIN RUSSELL laA night acknowledged the error into which he had fallen in reference tD the NESSELRODE circular, explaining that his misapprehension as to the con strucdon of the passage relating to the withdrawal 01: the EMPEROR'S troops when complete satisfac tion had been given by the Turkish Government, and the fleets of the maritime Powers had with drawn front the Turkish waters, arose from a hasty and cursory perusal of the document, which had only just been made public, and the impossi bility of supposing that a person of the experi ence and sagacity of Count NESSELEDDE would have affixed his signature to a document declaring to all the world that the Russian Government made the removal of the French and English fleets from these waters the condition of its evacuation of the Principalities. The fallacy of the position is indeed too clear to admit of argument, and we can scarcely wonder at the incredulity of the Noble Lord, or the mistake (which he now unequivocally acknowledged) into which he had fallen on the subject. One important circumstance was, however, elicited, which adds to the expectation of bringing the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. The Noble Lord distinctly stated that it was a mis take to suppose that the negotiations on the sub ject had come to "a dead-lock." On the con trary, be asserted that " both the English and the French Government have considered that there are propositions which might be acceded to both by Russia and Turkey, which would be the means of obtaining a pacific solution of these un fortunate differences." The Noble Lord added, that " some time must elapse before it can be as certained from St. Petersburgh what view may be taken of any mode of settlement which either England or France or Austria may arrive at." This is so far satisfactory; for, although it in volves a delay, very prejudicial to the best inte rests of society, it leads to a hope that the cala mity of war may be averted. We only hope that the opinions and remonstrances of the Western Powers may be conveyed in such vigorous and energetic terms, as to convince the AUTOCRAT that there is no hope of bullying or cajoling France and England, for once united in judgment, and arrayed aide by side in the cause of justice and of honour. If the communications be short and decisive, peace will be maintained ; if trimming 'or vacil lating, we shudder to think of the possible results. The Newspaper Stamp Duties Bill last night received a second reading. Nothing, however, was said respecting the portion of the sub jec t to which the community in general, as well as public journalists, are looking forward with intense in terest --namely, whether the Duties on Advertise. ments are to be totally abolished, or merely re duced to 6d. —one-third of the present rate. That point, as well as the question of the Supple ment Stamp, is to be disposed of when another measure—Lhe Stamp Duties Bill—comes under the Legislative consideration. It was anticipated that the public mind would have been set a,,t . rest on the interesting subject long ere tins. Hitherto, however, that hope has not been realised ; but we trust that there will not be any fattier delay , and that Mr. GLADSTONE may deem it consistent ' with his duty to yield to the general wish, and to give up the paltry charge which Would still subject all periodical publications to the vexatious lations made for enforcing fwuell and annoying rep payment of the duty, which, if retained, will, ma jor f i e t ar, prevent either the public or the great the journaN from receiving the benefit of tyheof. reduction, and the revenue from obtaining the would flow into it from other souricouesivancl whatsoeverwhich, pen alents that we believe, would prevent any from the surrender of the disputed sixpence. The great error which Mr. GLADSTONE has cow . mitted in his calculation is, that he looks solely to the Advertisement Duties, and to the produce of the 6d. from that source alone. He has wholly overlooked additional stamps on Supple ments, which, even if he still persists in enlarging the superficial area from 1,530 to 2,295 inches, would flow in from the halfpenny on the Double Supplement. Nor does he make any allowance whatsoever for the Paper Duties, which would be received from the extra quantity consumed in these additional Supplements. Had he left the duty on Supplements untouched, and not a single applica tion had been made from any quarter for a remis sion or modification of that tax, it is obvious that in the instance so clearly put by our contem porary, the Morning Herald (and which we have transferred to our columns), that the 251. 16s. Bd. additional revenue that would be derived from a single publication of the Man chester Guardian, would be increased to 511. 13s. 4d. at least ; for the Herald, whose concise and able argument places the question on such clear and intelligible grounds, has determined to claim no credit that could be cavilled at or disputed. In has, therefore, not taken as an element in the calculation the additional sale of the journals in which these advertisements were contained. Now it is notorious that each advertiser invariably takes one or more copies of the journal in which his notice has appeared—we believe that three or four copies would not be found much above the average. If, then, we add the extra stamps, as well as the Paper Duties, on the number of additional copies sold, the loss of the ls. 6d. on each advertisement, and not merely the 6d., would be fully made up. The refusal to accede to the application would therefore be unwise. Even so far as the Exchequer is con cerned, and putting the public interest altogether out of the question, we sincerely trust that Mr. GLADSTONE may yield on the question, and not let his pride induce him to persevere in that which would be at best but " penny wise and pound foolish policy." As the Herald justly ob serves, " he would probably gain more than he would lose by entirely conceding all that is asked of him." There was one excellent suggestion thrown out by the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Manchester in the course of the discussion. He recommended that the clauses respecting the Advertisement and Supplement Duties should be inserted in the same bill with that de fining a newspaper, so that there should be no necessity for referring to different Acts of Parliament, passed in the same Ses sion, on one subject. Mr. GLADSTONE thought " that there might be convenience in such a course," and promised that he would take it into his consideration. We trust that the considera tion will lead him to a correct conclusion. He may amalgamate the Bill last night before the House with the Stamp Duties Bill, on bringin; up the report, totally repealing the Duties on Advertisements. He would thus effect a mate rial saving of the public time—a matter of great importance under present circumstances—and bring the vexata questio to a satisfactory, and to himself by no means a discreditable, conclusion. We rejoice to find that the South-Eastern Rail way (Canterbury and Whitstable, &c.) Bill has passed its third reading in the House of Lords by a very decisive majority, notwithstanding the strenuous opposition offered to it at the last moment, and after it had obtained the sanction of the Select Committee, by which it had been in vestigated in all its details, and before whom it had been strongly opposed by oiler companies, who appeared with a formidable array of counsel, agents, and witnesses, in order to defeat the measure. When under such circumstances the Select Committee had, after mature and delibe rate consideration, declared that there was no adequate ground for its rejection, and strongly recommended its adoption, it would be strange indeed if Noble Lords, who knew little if any thing of its merits, should, by a party vote, have thrown out the Bill, and passed so great a slight on many members of their own order, as the con tumelious disregard of their report world neces sarily be regarded. When a matter has been so referred, the decision of the Committee should bo final. Nothing can be more absurd than to put a body of Noblemen and Gentlemen to the trouble of examining all the evidence bearing upon a subject, considering its effect, and then, without cause or reason, without indicating any mistake they may have committed, to reverse their decision. If such practices should be tolerated, far better to get rid of the farce of inquiry, and to have such questions disposed of summarily, and without the serious expenses being incurred during the investi- gation. The able speech of Lord STANLEY of Alderley placed the matter in the clearest light. The Noble Lord who, during the investigation before the Committee, had made himself master of the sub ject, completely removed the objections that were again put forward, after they had been over and over again disposed of. He took a business and statesmanlike view of the subject, dispelling by the light of plain sound common sense the mists which prejudice and ignorance had excited. He pointed out distinctly and intelligibly the vast difference between the steam navigation which carried on a general trade throughout the entire world and that which was limited to local ports, where it was in connection with other means of transit, such as railways. When it becomes practically an extension of the accommodation afforded by the latter, and keeping up an unbroken line of communication, not merely across the Channel, but th-roughout Europe, the great inconvenience that .might, and most probably would, arise from any disagreement between the railway and steam-packet companies must be obvious to any person who bestows the slightest consideration on the subject. Nothing, then, more beneficial to the travelling public and to the shareholders of the different companies could be suggested than an amalgamation on equit able terms, by which both would be brought under one management, and the highest degree of accom modation afforded to the community. It is clearly the interest of the shareholders to draw the traffic from rival lines to their own. This can only be achieved by affording superior facilities in the way of speed, comfort, and economy, and every attempt to do so might easily be thwarted by any degree of hostility on the part of those engaged in the steam-boat traffic. The course most beneficial for the community is to have the competition afforded by the different routes, but each route to be under a single management, and this will be attained by the success of the measure which we have just recorded. We heartily congratulate the Board of Manage ment and shareholders of the South-Eastern Railway and also all continental travellers on this auspi cious result. Mr. MACGREGOR and his brother Directors have entitled themselves to the thanks and gratitude of their constituents, whose in terests have been so materially advanced, and of the communityin general, for the energetic, indefa tigable, and efficient exertions that have pro- ' duced such effects. We cannot forget that it is to those labours that we are indebted, not merely for th e p resent measure, b u t a l so f or th e regula tion which enabled passengers to come on to London without having their luggage examined until after their arrival in London, in place of the vexatious and expensive delay, the loss of time and money by the detention at Dover or Folk stone, and which so fully warranted the eulogium passed upon their general conduct by Lord STANLEY while the bill was in committee, and responded to by every disinterest e d au dit or . The South-Eastern Company has, indeed, reason to be proud of their Directors, and to be grateful for their able and efficient management of their affairs, which has led to their greatly increased and rapidly augmenting prosperity. CANCER HOSPITAL.—The King of Hanover, prior to his departure from this country, forwarded, throug.h Count Kielmansegge, a handsome donation in aid of the funds of this hospital. For the same purpose, Sir H. R. Hoare, Bart., has, within these few days, transmitted a donation of 1001. A legacy of 2001. has been received from the executors of the late Mrs. Macqueston, of Knightsbridge, and also a donation from John Baring, Esq.

LEGER Vanderdecken Seven ran. SPORTING- NOTES. A LOOK-OUT AT LIVERPOOL. The "Cup Day" was drearily celebrated. Rain fell heavily throughout the morning, damping the spirits of the visitors, who, however, solemnly pursued the sport with unshaken determination. The muster of spectators was far from numerous, the unpropitious weather ex ercising a diminishing effect on the attendance. A high and bitterly cold wind increased the prevailing discom fort—a feeling which was scarcely counteracted by the excitement which attended the principal contests. The order of running was most injudiciously fixed. The first " event"—a walk over—being at 2 o'clock and the "Cup" at 4. They, therefore, who wished to reach London by the 5 o'clock "express," were compelled to use most inconvenient haste to catch the train. The Deformed justified the openly expressed confi dence of his owner, by defeating a field of seven for the Derby Handicap. The race' between Doublethong and Hobby-horse for the Foal Stakes, was regarded with particular interest ; the latter having been somewhat heavily backed for the Goodwood Stakes. Coming up the distance, a close contest was promised, but Hobby horse easily stalled off his opponent, who was vigor ously roused by the applications of Nat's " doublethong." After the race Hobby-horse was in increased demand for the Goodwood Stakes, his victory giving additional encouragement to his backers. Fourteen competed for the Cup, but from the dis tance the race was entirely between two—Goorkah and The Alp. Goorkah won easily by two lengths. John Osborne was very "sweet" on his old horse, and con sidered the heavy plashy state of the ground very favourable to his chance. Goorkah's party have esta blished a reputation for shrewd tacticians. The man ner in which they " worked the oracle," or " rigged the market," proved them to be perfect masters of their craft. Cariboo was in the ruck throughout. Indeed, Missive was a very bad third, finishing alongside of Richmond O'Hanlon, and the others pulled up beaten off. Montague was backed with much confidence at the close of the betting at 3 to 1 and 7 to 2. The other races were too unimportant to require comment. _ _ A FRESH MAN• Liverpool, Thursday Night.

NAVY CLIII3.—SIR JAMES GRAHAM.—Last evening, the members of the Navy Club entertained the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, at dinner, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., presided, supported by a large array of naval men, including Vice-Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, Sir Thomas Hastings, the Earl of Hardwicke, Sir Baldwin Walker, Mr. B.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MARCHIONESS OF ANGLESEY. —Yesterday morning the remains of the late Marchioness of Anglesey were removed from Anglesey House, Bur lington-gardens, to the Euston-square station of the Landon and North-Western Railway, from whence they were conveyed, by special trrin, to Lichfield, en route to the family seat, at Beaudesert. The outer or state coffin, is a splendid speclman of workmanship, belng manufactured of the finest Spanish mahogany, covered with rich Genoa velvet, thickly studded with gilt nails and ornaments. On the sides and either hands are eight massive gilt handles, curiously chased, each being sur mounted by a coronet. On the lid is an emblamatical device of the torch of life. The plate, sulmounted by a coronet, bears the following inscription :—Charlotte, wife of Henry William, first Marquis of Anglesey, G.C.8., P.C., &c. Born 11th July, 1781 ; died Bth July, 1853." The remains will be removed this day from Beaudesert to the cathedral, Lichfield, where the obsequies will be performed, and the body deposited in the family vault. 7he church at Beaudesert and the cathedral have been hung in black pending the solem nities. ROYAL ORTHOP/EDIC HOSPITAL.—The friends of this hospital are making endeavours to raise sufficient funds to erect a new building, capable of accommodating a much larger number of patients than the present limited establishment in Bloomsbury-square. It appears that patients are received from all parts of the kingdom— ,club-foot, curvature of the spine, and other deformities, kr the cure of which the hospital was established, being exwedingly prevalent among the poorer classes. Since 1839 more than 14,000 severe cases have been cured without the occurrence of a single death, or case of per manent injury. The number benefited by the charity w ill be greatly increased by the enlargement, as a con siderable ;lumber are necessarily deferred from day to \ day, owing to the present lack of accommodation. SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR WlNDSOR.—Yesterday afternoon an inquiry which had commenced on Tuesday, before Mr. John Charsley, one of the cproners for Bucks, was resumed and concluded at the Horse and Groom, Datchet, touching th e death of William Hea p , a l ad about 17 years of age, in the employ of Messrs. Caley, silk mercers, of Windsor. It appears that the deceased was formerly employed as a labourer on the internal works of Windsor Castle, but had been with the Messrs. Caley, as errand boy, for the last six . months, performing h's duties to their ent're satisfac:,!on. On the after noon of Wednesday se ar 'nnight he was sent and delivered with parcels through Eton, Upton-pk, and Langley, his last package at Middle-g:eeu, in the last-named a o'clock nd hi his way ni night. home Hewa wag by fromtphaerilishiveatmialeg little a Datchet and the Home - pa rk. Not arriving home, the i W le i r nd n s in c e r, Messrs. Caley caused every search to be made for him, without effect, until Monday morning, when his body was discovered floating in a sm all p iece of "buck" water, at the bottom of a meado w , ad j oinin g the Thames, near the village of Datchet. No cause could be assigned for self-destruction, and his parents stated their belief that deceased was "too good a boy" to attempt any thing of the kind. At the same time it was recollected that deceased had been brutally assaulted, and nearly killed, on Datchet old bridge some three years ago by a drover boy named Blackall, who was taken before the magistrates and heavily fined. One or two of the inha bitants of Datchet felt positive that Blackall passed through the village on the Wednesday evening, and the case seemed not only mysterious, but full of suspicion. .At the adjourned inquest, however, yesterday, two sur geons, who had made the pose mo) tent examination, de posed that they could trace no marks of violence either externally or internally, and that the body presented no other appearances than those found on drowned persons. Blackall was also brought up, and he clearly established an alibi, proving at the same time that not the slightest ill-feeling had ever existed between himself and deceased since the period of the assault. Under these circum stances 09 jury rj?tur4ed *verdict of "Wound drowned," _ _ IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Bedale and Leyburn Railway ; East Kent Railway ; South Staffordshire Waterworks ; Spalding Improvement ; and Victoria (London) Docks Bills, were considered and agreed to. STROOD AND MAIDSTONE RAILWAY. On the order of the day for considering the Lords' amendments to this bill, Mr. RICE, in the absence of Sir E. Dering, who had given notice of a motion for postponing the considera tion of these amendments for three months, said that he was anxious to learn from the hon. member for Sand wich (Mr. J. Macgregor), who was chairman of the South-Eastern Railway Company, whether that com pany had given an undertaking to the chairman of the committee of the House of Lords with respect to the course which the South-Eastern Company would take in the event of a bill being introduced in a future ses sion for extending the East Kent Railway from Canter bury to Dover. If the hon. member for Sandwich, would state in his place in Parliament, as Chairman of the South-Eastern Company, the facts of the case, he (Mr. Rice) acting on behalf of his hon. friend, the member for East Kent, would consent not to press the motion for which he had given notice for postponing the con sideration of the Lord's Amendments. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR said that all the amend ments which had been introduced during the passage of the bill through the House of Lords were merely verbal and literal, with the exception of those which had been introduced at the instance of the company, which was represented by the hon. baronet the member for East Kent—and this being the case, he was wholly unable to understand what object the honourable member could have in proposing that the amend ments should be postponed. In reply to the question put by the honourable member for Dover—all he had to say was, that an undertaking, under the common seal of the South Eastern Railway Company, had been deposited in the Private Bill Office of the House of Lords, by which that company bound themselves not to oppose any efforts that might hereafter be made by any parties to promote a bill for extending a line of railway ' direct from Cynterbury to Dover. (Hear, hear.) The Lords amendments was then agreed to. EASTERN UNION RAILWAY BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Sir G. PECHELL moved that the bill be read a third time this day six months, on the ground that it would do a great injustice to many of the shareholders. Mr. CORRIE, as chairman of the select committee to which the bill had been referred, supported the third reading of the bill. Mr._ JOHN WGREGOR said if the house passed this bill it would lose the esteem and confidence enter tained by the public in it in reference to matters of this kind. Mr. LUCAS thought that no case had been made out for the third reading of the bill, and he should, therefore, oppose the motion. Mr. BOUVERIE thought as it was not before the house that the majority of the preference shareholders were in favour of the proposition, the house was bound to look very carefully into the facts of the case before they consented to break a Parliamentary contract, only dating last year. - Mr. CAYLEY supported the third reading of the bill. After a few words from Mr. W. PATTEN, _ Mr. CARD WELL thought that, as the committee had not, in accordance with the standing order, reeerring to cases of this kind made a special report of the number of preference shareholders who had consented to the bill, the house must either refuse to read the bill a second time, or postpone it until the evidence taken before the committee had been printed, and the house had had time to consider it. _ _ Mr. BASS said he was informed on competent autho rity that three-fourths of the preference £hareholders were opposed to the bill. Mr. V. SMITH suggested that the bill should be re committed, in order to g►ve the committee an opportu nity of making a special report, required by the standing orders, as to the relative numbers of the assenting and dissenting preference shareholders. After a short discussion, the house divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority 26 82 -56 The amendment was consequently lost, and the order for the third reading having been discharged, the bill was ordered to be recommitted. The St. George's Harbour, Westminster Improve ments (Dwellings of the Working Classes), and Westport Port and Harbour Bills were read a third time and passed. The Severn and Wve Railway and Canal Bill was considered, and ordered to be read a third time. The Bingley Free Grammar and General Elucation Schools and Charity Estates Bill was read a second time. Mr. DUNCAN presented petitions from places in Scotland, praying for the inspection of nunneries. Mr. J. MACGREGOR presented a petition from Glasgow against any law for the arrestment of wages for debt. MERCANTILE SHIPPING BILL. The house then went into committee on this bil commencing at clause 38.

BUCKSTONE'SBENEFIT.—This annual event, which is on the present occasion more than usually interesting, takes place this evening—the last of the season—when we anticipate a bumper audience, full of enthusiasm and good wishes for the future prosperous career of the ex cellent and able manager. The performances announced are Mr. Sterling Coyne's comedy of Presented at Caul j, after which, and for the last time, will be enacted Mr. Buckstone's Ascent of Mount Pcrnassus. The manager will address the audience as to his future intentions, and the comic drama of The Ro,:gh. Diamond will close the performance, and, for the present, the theatre. THE REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY.—The Jewish Chronicle says—" Arrangements are in progress for shortly commencing an energetic agitation for the pur pose of enabling Baron Rothschild to take his seat in the House of Commons, to which he has been thrice elected by the citizen of London. We hear that, once commenced, the movement will not rest until this im portant object is fully attained." LAMBETH BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.—The first an nual general meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday afternoon at the Board-room, West minster-road, for the purpose of receiving the report and statement of accounts • Mr. Taylor in the chair. Mr. G. A. Cape, jun., read the report, which observed that the directors had much pleasure in stating that the works are so far completed that they have been enabled to open first and second class swimming baths, although in an unfinished state. During the first week the baths were opened 7,609 persons bathed, and the re ceived was 851. 18% Bd. The entire establishment for bathers, it is hoped, will be completed in the course of next; month, and the directors, in concluding the report, state that a further call of 11. 102. will be made in August next. The balance sheet showed the receipts from the first call to amount to 2,6661. 10%, and the company has now a balance in hand of 1,1921. ss. 9d. Mr. F. Mandalay moved, and Mr. Barton seconded, the adop tion of the report, which, upon being put to the meeting, was careied nem. con. The chairman stated that the success which had attended the first week of their ope rations bad been surpassed in the second, and the results had greatly exceeded their most sanguine expectations. The baths will, when complete, accommodate 10,000 persons per day, and in addition there are to be 55 pri vate baths, with washhouses and an infant school at tached. The meeting, after transacting some routine business, separated. TELEGRAPHIC DISCOVERY.—The Cologne Gazette affirms that the Telegraph director Gintl has discovered a means of making one telegraphic wire convey two messages in opposite directions at the same time. THE VINEGAR TRADE.—Messrs. Hill and Underwood, of Norwich, the extensive vinegar distillers, have just issued their trade circular, from which we glean that an enormous increase has taken place in the demand for vinegar made from malt by the patent process there pursued. The circular does not allude to the effect pro duced by the failure in the grape districts, nor attribute the great favour in which this malt vinegar is now held to any particular cause, but it should be borne in mind that the .L( ncet, while drawing attention to the vinegars of Europe, and their adulterations, placed the vinegar of Messrs. Hill and Underwood in the most honourable position among those exempt from s ophistication ; a fact in itself sufficient to account for increased public appre ciation. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 Ame rican were taken for export. The market was very firm at previous rates. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 100 Pernam and Maranham, at 62d. to 7Ad. ; 250 Bahia, at 64d. to 6/d. ; 500 Egyptian at 6id. to 10d. ; and 1,000 Surat, at 31-d. to 40. per lb. Railway Shares were dull and in active, at lower prices. The Produce Markets have been steady, and ex porters have made a few purchases. There is, however, scarcely any speculation in progress. The supplies generally are moderate, and prices have ruled steady. Tea has been dull in the absence of any later intelligence from China. Rather more has been done in coffee. Sugar has been at full rates for West India, and East India is held firmly, although not in much demand. For hemp and flax there has been a good inquiry. Cotton has been rather dull. Surat at 31 to 48 per lb. The Indigo auctions are progressing rather better. The public sales of wool have commenced, and of colonial alone there will be over 60,000 bales put up. Foreign samples also will be offered. The attendance of buyers is good, but owing to the large quantity and the state of the Eastern question, prices rule lower, the reduc tion, compared with the May sales, being id. to Id. per lb. The Overland Mail arrived at Marseiles at seven o'clock this morning, and the letters will be de livered here on Monday next. The Committee of the House of Commons now investigating the subject of the decimal coinage, has closed its examination of witnesses, and there appears to be a strong impression that the result will be a recommendation favourable to the changes proposed. Supposing 25 farthings to be henceforth comprised in the 6d., it is contended by some parties that there will be an inconvenience because 6d. and 12d. are the only fractions which can be confined within the limit of 3 places of decimals, 3d. and 9d.. requiring 4 places; Lid., 4d., 74d., and 104 d., requiring 5 places; id., 20., 3/d., 51d., 62d., 8/41., 91d., and 111 d., being inexpres sible strictly in less than six decimal places. A correspondent, therefore, urges that— " Disposing thus of sixteen out of the forty-eight fractions of a shilling, we then find that no number of figures whatever can represent precisely in decimals the remaining 32 fractions required for the expression of id., id., ld., lid., 2d., 20. 2id., 3Jd., 341, 4d., 4kd., 4p., 5d., 54d., 5 4 d., 61d., 64d., 7d., 7id., Bd., 84d. 8/d., 91d., 94d., 10d., lOid., lid., 114 d., and The practical way of dealing with these thirty two incommensurable quantities, is to take a suffi cient number of places of decimals—three, ten, twenty, or more, according to the magnitudes in volved in the computation, whereby we attain an approximate truth, "as near as you please," ac cording to Professor de Morgan ; but " the abso lute answer cannot be obtained without resorting to the use of vulgar fractions, from which the new decimal system is intended to release us." The English Stock Market which assumed a much more buoyant tone yesterday afternoon, has preserved the same to day, owing to the renewed assurances by Lord John Russell, last evening, as to the pending negotiations for peace, in which the German powers acquiesce, and the news from the Continent appears likewise to be favourably interpreted. There is not a large business doing in Consols, either real or speculative, and the approach of settling day regulates most of the transactions. For transfer the quotations have been 97-4 to 984, and for August 98 to a. Exchequer Bills remain at Is. discount to par. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 101 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 984 tor. Bank Stock has been firmer at 22.`). South Sea Stock has realised 1144 to 116. Voreign securities have been in some cases rather better, and the settlement of the account has been the principal cause of this. Portuguese 4 per cents. are 41 to 4, an improvement of to R. Mexican, have rallied to 264 and 274. Brazilian 5 per cents. have been at 101. Russian 41 per eents. have been done at 1001 and 10)2. Danish Stock is worth 107. Sardinian Bonds have been marked 944. Spanish Securities are still rather heavy, the Three per Cents. at 46a to 4 , the Deferred at 22g. The Railway Share Market has been inactive, and the payment of differences upon the account has occupied chief attention. There has been a rase and a decline subsequently in Caledonian Shares, an improvement in Brighton, North- Western, Oxford and Wolverhampton, and Great Western, French Shares have advanced about .too. The Gold Mine Shares are merely nominal, and the Land Companies and Banks are heavy. • BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK, (.From the Official List.) Business done. Bank Stock 229 3 per Cent.

DECIMAL COINAGE.—The committee of the House of Commons have concluded the examination of witnesses, and it is believed the result will be a unanimous report in favour of the adoption of a decimal system, making the pound sterling the integer, and dividing it into 1,000 mils or farthings. Dr. Bowring, on whose motion in Parliament the first step was taken, in 1848, by the coinage of the florin, or 1-10th of a pound sterling, was the last witness examined, and he gave the most satis factory evidence as to the accuracy, rapidity, and ease with which all calculations are made and all accounts kept throughout the vast Chinese empire, with its 400,000,000 of dependent subjects. He produced to the committee the abacus, or instrument by which the art of re:;lroning is taught in all the elementary schools of China, and stated, that after a single month's instruction, a Chinese youth is far more competent to apply the rules of arithmetic to all the business of life than is a learner in any of our common schools after the lessons of years. It was suggested that the general employment of the abacus (called swan wan, by the Chinese) in the education of the young would greatly promote and popularise the introduction of a decimal system of currency and ac counts. SINKING OF A SCHOONER AND Loss OF Two LIVES, AT DEPTFORD.—Yesterday morning, between the hours of nine and ten, a painful sensation was caused amongst some hundred persons on board the different craft lying in Limehouse-reach and Deptford, in consequence of the following dreadful occurrence, by which we regret to state two human beings were prematurely hurried into eternity. The Prince Albert, Captain Millingham, of Gainsborough, arrived in the river a few days since with a cargo of Yorkshire goods, and after discharging her cargo she was, yesterday morning, proceeding down the river in order to take in ballast preparatory to returning back to Yorkshire. A heavy squall of wind, however, sprang up, which struck the schooner on the starboard and threw her completely on to her larboard side. The unfortunate captain made an attempt to save his wife and child, who were below, but the rush of water down the hatchways and companion to the cabin was so great that he was obliged to give up the attempt as fruitless, and at length he had the greatest difficulty in saving his own life, being obliged to jump overboard to escape going down with the ill-fated vessel. As the water rushed down the hold of the vessel a few faint screams of the woman and child were heard, but they were quickly drowned by the rush of water. SHOCKING DISCOVERY IN THE ADELPHI ARCHES.— Yesterday, considerable excitement prevailed in the vicinity of the Adelphi and Hungerford market, in con sequence of a man being found in ono of the dark arches with his throat cut from ear to ear. From inquiries that were instituted it has been ascertained that the name of the wounded man is James Pigot, a coach turner, who resided at 45, Clarendon-street, Somer's town, and was in the employ of Messrs. Pierce and Countz, coach builders, of Long-acre. He was at work as usual in the early part of the morning, when he ap peared in his usual health and spirits, and left at break fast time: At half-past ten o clock Mr. John Peek, residing in Chapel - row, Chelsea, having had b us i ness at the wharf, in passing one of the angles, saw an appa rently respectable man lying on the ground, and hearing a gurgling sound, went towards him, when he discovered a tremendous gash in his throat, from which blood was issuing. Assistance was immediately obtained, and the unfortunate man conveyed to Charing -cross Hospital, where he was placed under the care of the resident sur geon, but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. It is stated that a razor has been found underneath the arches, but at too great a distance from the body to lead to the supposition that it was the weapon used, and the extensive nature of the injuries preclude the - possibility of the sufferer giving any explanation of the circum stauces. 2114.
