The AUTOCRAT, with the gravest face in the world, is coolly endeavouring to prove black white, through the columns of his official gazette, the Journal of St. Petersburg. In that publica tion, on the twelfth day of this present month of June, there appeared a remarkable document—. very long, occasionally very obscure, throughout sophistical, dogmatical, and altogether extrava gant—signed NESSELRODE. A translation of it is given elsewhere in our impression of this evening. It deserves a careful examination, and may hence forth be numbered, certainly, among the strangest curiosities of political literature. Russia assumes, in fact, from first to last, that the CZAR has acted solely on the defensive through out all these recent negotiations. Such is literally the gist of this elaborate and extraordinary cir cular note, dated the 11th of June, 1853, in re ference to the Turkish question, and transmitted from the imperial councils of NICHOLAS to all his diplomatic representatives, for the purpose of being communicated by each of those Ambassa dors to whatever Government he may happen to be accredited. The Sublime Porte the ag gressor 1 Can anything, we ask in the name of common sense, of common honesty, of common decency, be more extravagant 7 The AUTOCRAT bearded by the SULTAN ! War provoked by en croachments wantonly made by Turkey upon the rights of its colossal neighbour ! These are actu ally the deductions to be drawn from the docu ment signed NESSELRODE, dated the 11th of June, and pablished on the following day in the official columns of the Journal of St. Petersburg. Accord ing to the statement thus put forward by the Russian Government, the CZAR has definitively resolved to sever the Gordian knot which he is de clared to have wished all along to " loosen pacifi cally." As illustrations of these pacific intentions on the part of the AUTOCRAT, it is particularly re marked by the circular note that the demands made originally upon the Divan by the Councils of St. Petersburgh had reference to a formal con vention, that they were afterwards modified to a Sexed, and that ultimately they were reduced to the requirement of a simple note to be addressed by the Foreign Minister in the Russian capital, by the similar functionary at Constantinople. Unquestionably —all that is perfectly correct about the Convention dwindling down into the Sened, and the Sened into the Note. It is an old story enough by this time in all parts of civilised Chris tendom. But it is equally well known that the demands involved alike in the Note, Soled, and Convention amounted to a flagrant violation of the integrity of the Turkish Empire, and to the virtual abandonment of its independence. Had the Divan once accepted the Convention, the Sened, or even the Note, European Turkey would thenceforth have been only another province of Russia—the SULTAN would thenceforth have been nothing more than the tolerated vassal of the AUTOCRAT ! And these are the demands, in the enforcement of which upon the attention of the Sublime Porte, the Russian Government claims for itself the merit of having displayed a spirit of conciliation. If so, then are insolence flattery— spoliation beneficence—war peace—black white ! Why, the truth is so flagrantly perceptible in this matter, the atrocious injustice of the course pur sued by Russia is so wholly unmistakeable, the natural rights of Turkey are so impudently as sailed, without even the faintest vestige of the shadow of a shade of reason, that, in spite of every tendency to an opposite direction, England and France witness the establishment of perfect accord between their Governments. So manifest is the reasonableness of the policy adopted by the Por t° , in opposition to that unfolded by the Co uncils of St. Petersburgh, th a t a cor di a l alli ance is brought about between the Ministerial representatives of the _Court of St. James's and the Court of the ofTuiticries—in spite of every thing !

IWI-!_ it S at once—inevitably--everything else to the con trary, nevertheless, notwithstanding ! Yet the Russian Cabinet has, in the face of all this, the unparalleled effrontery to talk of the Eastern dif ficulty as a gordian knot which it has sought to " loosen pacifically," and in doing which it has only displayed the most genial spirit of—what ? —conciliation ! Having proclaimed this much in a tone expressive of a profound sense of injury and. of suppressed indignation, the document re ferred to intimates in so many words that the gordian knot of the Turkish Question must at length be severed. Therefore, in all human probability, the Pruth has by this time been crossed. Directly the Cos sacks shall have passed that river, the Russian EMPEROR will have virtually declared open war against Turkey, and consequently also against the allies of Turkey—the two most formidable among the European Governments. Either the foes of Northern Absolutism must act then vigorously, promptly, energetically, or not at all. The day has gone by for temporising : it will be the hour of abject submission, or of bold and chivalrous retaliation. The commencement of that retaliation rests, under existing circumstances, not with France or with England, but with the Sublime Porte—with the Supreme Coun cils at Constantinople. Let the Sultan ABD 17L-111EDJID, declare war against Russia imme diately intelligence reaches the Divan of the Cossacks having crossed the Pruth, and the victory will be his in the end inevitably, because England and France are pledged to support him against the aggressions of his powerful and am bitious neighbour. England and France are pledged to this support—not simply by their diplomacy, but by their maritime, and, if required, we doubt not also, by their military armaments. Once committed to the struggle— the allied races would allow but brief time to elapse before the Russian eagle would be scared from the waters of the Black Sea, the union-jack, the tricolor, and the banner of the crescent float ing triumphantly in the Bosphorus and the Dar danelles. The proceedings in committee on the Succession Duty Bill were on Monday evening diversified by a Ministerial defeat. The " landozracy," who exhibited such shameful apathy on the Income Tax, mustered strongly when their own interests were concerned, and succeeded in carrying an amendment, moved by Sir JOHN TROLLOP; in respect to growing timber, by a slender majority of three ! The division is, however, by no means conclusive. It yet remains to be ascertained whether the objection went to the extent of any duty being levied on standing timber, or merely as to the mode in which that duty was to have been assessed. One Hon. Gentleman (Mr. AGLIONBY) who voted with the majority, declared that "he was in favour of a tax on timber, but not in favour of the tax as proposed by Govern ment." One other person of a similar opinion, would have converted the triumph into a defeat, and it is more than probable that, if a division had been taken on the proviso with which the Right Hon. Baronet folloved up his partial suc cess, and which, if carried, would entirely exempt growing or standing timber from the valuation to be made for the purpose of assessment under the Act, the Government would have retrieved their position, and remained masters of the field. This opinion is strengthened by the division which subsequently took place on the ques tion that " the Chairman should report progress," which was rejected by a majority of 38 in favour of the Government, which resisted the adjourn ment of the discussion, but eventually yielded in consideration of the hour of the night, or rather morning, to which it had been protracted. We may, therefore, expect that a severe contest will take place on any proposition that may be brought forward, on either side, at the next meeting in Committee. Now, as to the abstract justice of the sug gestion for the exemption of every descrip tion of timber from the impost, we confess that we can see no grounds whatsoever why it should be placed on a different footing from any other species of property, if the successor should have power to cut and dispose of it as he thought proper. It would have an immediate tangible value which could at any time be realised, and the longer the realisation was postponed the greater would be the value of the property. We would remind those who are in favour of its ex emption, that it is not productive property only that is liable to the demands of the tax collector. Any thing on which a money value can is placed is subject to the charge, and no adequate reason could be assigned that it should be placed in a different category. But, were it even otherwise, growing timber could not be considered as non-productive property, for—to say nothing of the annual thinnings, which fre quently produce considerable sums—there is a constant increase, which might easily be estimated. Although it may not be available every gala day, it will certainly come at more distant intervals, for as old DUMBIEDYRES said to the young laird —" A tree will be always graving, Jock, while yer sleeping." When, then, the successor is " not impeachable of waste there can be no possible ground for excusing him from the contribution which, in justice and equity, he ought to pay to the national Exchequer. Another and a far more difficult question arises, where the party coming into possession has no power whatsoever over the timber, when, in com mon parlance, he is " not at liberty to cut a single stick," except those which may be necessary for the preservation and improvement of the remainder. Here it would be obviously unjust to compel him to pay for that which was not his own to deal with as he thought proper, of which, in fact, he had not the beneficial occupation ; while it would be equally unjust to the community to permit such property to avoid any responsibility, and to escape the requisite payment to the State. There is much difficulty, then, in offering a satisfactory solution to the problem. The following plan, however, appears to be tolerably fair to all parties-concerned, much more so than many that have already received the Legislative sanction. We would suggest, then, that growing timber should be valued on every succession, and that, in the event of its being shown that the party coming into possession has no right to dispose thereof, the value of the annual cuttings should be estimated, which might be regarded as an annuity on which he should properly and fairly be required to pay, and that the balance of the valuation should be regarded as a deferred charge on the inheritance, which the first person having power to cut and dispose of the timber should be required to liquidate, just as a person coming into possession of property that has been in Chan cery is bound to satisfy the several Legacy Du ties that would have been taken out of the corpus of the fund, if the party through whom lie derived his title had come into actual posses sion. There are certainly objections that may be urged to this project, but it appears to be a nearer approximation to justice than any that has yet been suggested. It would remove the tempta- tion to evade the tax by tying up a property in strict settlement, a course at all times objection able, and opposed to the best interests of the com munity, but doubly so when resorted to for the purpose of escaping a liability created by the fiscal laws of the country. The exemption of timber, then, in any case, or under any circumstances, should be steadily resisted by every person desirous of seeing the "principle" of Mr. GLADSTONE'S measure carried out in its integrity by the equal taxation of every description of property, real or personal, settled or unsettled. The favouritism exhibited towards the owners of real estate is already sufficiently striking, without increasing the contrast. It has been admitted by Mr. GLAD STONE himself, that land may escape on paymen t of 205., where personal property of equal value would have to pay 201., with perhaps 81. or 91. more under the Probate Duties, and that the 20s. might be liquidated by annual instalments spread over four years, the first not being payable for 12 months, w h ile the 81. or 91. for Probate Duty should be I mmediat e l y pa i d, and the remaining 201. at the end of th e year, when 25. 6d. would be required ~iii~~ THE SUN, LOOT DON, W.: - EDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1853. ' from the landed proprietor as his first instalment of the impost. Surely this is neithz just nor equitable ? Further indulgence should not be exhibited of a similar description to render the discrepancy even more striking than It. present. We trust, then, that every friend of fiscal equality will strenuously and energetically rest the un fair attempt about to be made. If it should suc ceed, it will only afford another reasc. to agitate for a revision and equitable modifiMion of the enactment. CITY POLITICS. Yesterday, in the afternoon, notices were issued to the aldermen of the city of London, to the following effect, viz. " That on Friday next a Common-hall will be held for the purpose of the election of Sheriffs, Chamberlain, and other officers for the year ensuing ; after which a Court of Aldermen will be held, to swear in the Chamberlain and the Bridgemasters." Subsequently to the transaction, of the above-named business the Court will proceed to the following especial and, under the circumstances, rather angularly peculiar motions, namely— " To receive resolutions of the Reforn Committee of the Common Council, recommending the Ciscontinuance of the aldormaury of the ward of Bridge Without ; requeLting also the Court not to fill up the present vacancy ; and for a conference thereon." And, "To neeive the answers of Sir Peter Laurie, Knt., the next seni•r alderman, and the other aldermen successively empowered to remove to, ac cept, and take the said ward of Bridge Without." The adoption of this course has given rise to much discussion among parties connected with the .civic circle. It is said by some that the Court of Aldermen, having the fear of the Royal Commission about to be appointed_ to inquire Tito tliaCity of London Corporation eeurl" its management before their eyes, wish to cut of this simply nominal aldermanry of the ward of Bridge Without ; while others as stoutly maintain their right to the soi disant representation of such nominal ward until the Government Commission may decide upon its excision from the existing civic arrangements. THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM. An admirable—really admirable—map of Chobham Common and the surrounding country has within the last few hours been issued from Mr. Wyld'g well-known establishment. It is one of the most opportune and ex cellent offerings of the kind yet made to the public by that eminent geographer. It displays with all possible accuracy the position of the great Chobham Encamp ment. In one corner of the map is an enlarged view of that same encampment, particularising the different bri gades exactly as they are placed in relation to each other— the 2d battalion Rifle Brigade ; the Royal Artillery, under Lieut.-Colonel Bloomfield ; the 3d brigade, under Gen. Sir De Lacy Evans ; the 2d brigade, under Major-Gen. Fane ; the Ist brigade, under Colonel H. Bentinck ; the Royal Sappers and Miners, under Lieut.-Colonel Vicars ; and the brigade of cavalry—drawn from the Ist Life Guards, the 13th Light Dragoons, the 17th Lancers, and the 6th Dragoon Guards, under the command of H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge. The map extends in different directions as far as Eton, Windsor, Chertsey, Guildford, Farnham, Southampton, Winchester, and Reading. We doubt not but that just now it will prove to many thousands an invaluable acquisition. EXTENSIVE FIRE IN THE NEW-ROAD. Yesterday morning, between the hours of four and five o'clock, a fire of a very serious character, and at tended with a considerable destruction of property broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Wilkinson, coach-trimmer, carrying on business in Circus-mews, Circus-street, New-road, Marylebone. The discovery was made by one of the police officers of the D division, who, in passing the premises, had his attention directed to an unusual body of smoke rising over the surrounding houses. At first the exact scene of the conflagration could not be ascertained, hut in the course of a few minutes the fire told its own tale by issuing through the various windows of the first-floor. An instant alarm was then given, and information of the disaster was sent to the engine stations for proper assistance, but before an engine had sufficient time to reach the spot the fire shot forth from the several win dows, not only of the floor in which the outbreak com menced, but also from those in the story above, as well as through the roof. Notwithstanding that it wag per fect daylight, the reflection of -the fire could be seen from every part of London, which caused a general turn out of the engines and firemen from nearly every dis trict ; so that in the space of a few minutes several en gines of the brigade, one of the parish, and that of the West of England Insurance Office were on the spot, as• well as the escapes of the Royal Society for the Pro tection of Life from Fire. The mains of the West Middlesex Company having been opened, a plentiful supply of water was procured, from which the engines were worked with full vigour, but in spite of the most strenuous exertions of the fire % men, the work of destruction continued, and in a very brief period the back doors and windows of Mr. J. Longinon's dancing academy, No. 29, Circus-street and those of Mr. Bendall, soda-water manufacturer, pre sented one immense sheet of flame. At that conjunc ture, nothing short of the complete destruction of every building near could be anticipated, consequently the fir men mounted the top of the premises contiguous to those in flames, and by that expedient succeeded in cutting off the further progress of the conflagration in the direc tion of the surrounding houses. The firemen, although assisted by 79 hired auxiliaries, were unable to subdue the flames until a serious amount of property was destroyed, which is thus officially re ported by Mr. Superintendent Braidwood : " June 21, 1853.—Half-past Four, a.m.—Called to a fire which broke out in Circus-mews, Circus-street, Maryle bone, and which did the following damage : Mr. J. Wilkinson, coach trimmer.—The workshops on the first floor of a factory burned out. The second floor of ditto destroyed, and the roof consumed. "The fire was extinguished by firemen and parish en gineer, with the engines of the B and C districts of the London establishment, one of the parish, and one of the West of England Fire-office. " The premises of Mr. Bushby, engineer, have the workshops on ground floor damaged by fire and water. " The premises of Mr. Loxmore, wheelwright, have sus tained similar damage, by fire, water, and removal. " No. 29, Circus-street.—Mr. J. Longmon, dancing master. Back windows and doors burned, and rest of house and contents damaged by fire, water, and removal. " Mr. Bendall, soda water manufacturer.—Premises and contents much damaged by fire, water, &c. " No. 29A, Mary Lemon, beer shop-keeper.—Premises and their contents similarly damaged." It is at present unknown whether or not.the sufferers were insured. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover honoured the Royal Italian Opera with their presence last evening. The King and Queen were accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, and their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and the Duchess Caroline of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. In the suite of their Majesties were the Baroness Von Decker, Baron Reich tenstein, Lord Elphinstone, and General Buckley. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert visited this theatre last night to witness Mr. Planche's admirable extravaganza of " Mr. Buckstone's Ascent of Mount Parnassus," which was `iierformed for the 74th time. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE EQUITABLE GASWORKS. —This morning, at eight o'clock, a shocking accident occurred at the Equitable Gasworks; Thatnes-bank, Pimlico, to a man named Thomas Bunitead, aged 71 years, under the following circumstances appears that Bunstead, who is a plate-layer, residing at Brewer's green, was employed in repairing a train-way fixed on the top of a viaduct upon which trucks 'pass with coals from barges, and coke vice versa. This 'viaduct is raised forty feet from the ground. By some means at present unexplained, the unfortunate man thisse& his footing, and fell from that fearful height with a dreitdful crash on to a bed of clinkers beneath. The stokers and other workmen rushed to his assistance, and; finding him in sensible and bleeding profusely, instantly Conveyed the suflerer to Westminster Hospital, where - he was taken Tinder the care of Mr. Cotterell, house surgeon, by whom it was ascertained that he had sustained Stith serious in juries that no hopes are entertained of his recovery—the unfortunate man having had his thigh broken in such a manner that amputation will have to be resorted to, the skull fractured, and one of his arms broken, besides his body being a complete mass of contusions.' PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 26.17 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short - bring 25 . 05, it follows that gold is about 0.48 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hatnburgh the price of gold is 428 per mark, which, at the English Mint , price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.6!, ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.51, it follows that gold is 9.35 per cent dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being - 1p..9 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent., in favour of England ; and, after making allow ance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States. _ PRICE OF GOLD-DUST.—In the Hobart-town papers of the 12th of March it is mentioned that the average price of gold-dust was 3/. 16s. 3d. per ounce, while that from the Fingal diggings was about 31. 12s. No fur ther discoveries had been made, but - hrafrs were gene rally prosperous, and at the late land sales advanced prices had been obtained for the various sections. The silver and dollars brought by the last West India steamer were sold yesterday at 614 d. and 590., esta blishing an advance of Ad. per ounce. They were taken chiefly for China, where the hoarding and distrust caused by the rebellion have produced a scarckty of c a pit a l th a t has lcd to heavy draughts upon London from the firms having credits here. The recent rates for war risks to the Baltic and the Black Sea are maintained, and for vessels clearing im mediately the demand would be 1 peg at: for the for mere and 2, per cent. for the latter deatiedion.

PELLATT presented petitions from North amptonshire and other counties, against the Education Bill. Sir J. PAKINGTON presented a petition from Droitwich, complaining of the restrictions placed upon the import of salt into India, and praying the house to take steps to remove those restrictions, as they were in jurious to trade and commerce. DROPPED ORDERS. The dropped orders were re-appointed. RECOVERY OF PERSONAL LIBERTY BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Sir R. H. INGLIS rose to move that the bill be read a second time, and in doing so the hon. baronet directed the attention of the house to the fact that scarcely any of the petitions which had been presented to-day contained the name of the bill. This was a bill for the recovery of personal liberty in certain cases, and in no way applied to nunneries in par ticular. It was intended, of course, that it should apply to the abuses of such institutions, but it contained nothing that could be in any way offensive to the pro fessors of the Roman Catholic religion. No one would deny the possibility of the existence of abuse, nor would any one shrink from the per formance of his duty in the event of such abuses being established. Well, then, he contended that a priori —the existence of monastic institutions, where persons of tender years were taken in, for the purpose of religious training, proved that abuses prevailed, and since the Council of Trent had decided that no one should be forced or kept in a convent against his or her will, he was at a loss to understand why the bill should be resisted by Roman Catholics. A similar law prevailed in many Roman Catholic countries on the Con tinent, and all that the promoters of this bill asked was, simply, that the same protection of the law should be extended to England. There were 300 nunneries or monastic institutions in this country, and who knew but what there were many persons confined in them who were sighing for their personal liberty. But though that was admitted, it was said the law as it now stood was quite sufficient to meet such isolated cases, and there was no necessity whatever for any special legislation. The bill was not to extend only to Ronan Catholic institutions but to all religious houses where persons were detained against their will, and he contended that the existing law was insufficient to meet the abuses that such institutions were liable to. [LEFT SITTING.] HARWICH ELECTION.—At the close of the poll at four o'clock, yesterday, the numbers were : Bagshaw l4O Fraser MajorityE JASON.—The A s f o o r N I g h b e aw first of the squadron LAUNCH of THE of large screw-ships of the General Screw Company, the Jason, was launched yesterday from Mr. Mare's estab lishment at Blackwall, in the presence of a large con course of persons. The ship measures :—Extreme length, 2SO feet; length of keel, 254 feet : power of engine, 400 horse • and tonnage 2,500. W e h ave on l y to remark th a t if this new squadron, of which the Jason is the first, are, as we believe they will prove, of superior construction to the Queen of the South class, the whole world cannot produce their rivals for sailing or steaming. _RETURN OF DR. BOWRING TO ENGLAND. —We un derstand that Dr. Bowring, so well known in this coun try, both as a literary man and as a representative of the people, is expected to return from China early next month, for the purpose of permanently remaining in this country. Dr. Bowring is a man of great general intelligence ; and as he has been resident for some years in an official capacity at Hong Kong, we feel assured that no Englishman could be found who is equally ac quainted with Chinese matters. Were the learned doctor invested with sufficient powers by our Govern ment, he might be able to open very important com munications between the Chinese Government and that of her Britannic Majesty.--Morning Advertiser. METROPOLITAN . SEWERS COMMISSION.---A general Court of Commissioners was held yesterday morning at the chief office, Greek-street, Soho, Mr. R. Jebb, chair man. Present—Colonel Dawson, Sif C. Fellowes, Mr. G. S. Smith, Mr. W. Baker, and Mr. T. F. Gibson. The secretary reported that on the 18th of June the available balance of the funds amounted to 59,000/.

""3 MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken on speculation. The market was steady, but tame. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 100 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 71d., 50 Bahia at 60., 800 Egyptian at 60., and 600 Surat at 3d. to 4ld. per lb. Railway Shares were dull, at lower prices. An Act, prepared and brought into Parliament by Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Wilson, deserves attention. It is intended to consolidate and amend the laws, and to grant additional facilities in relation to the purchase of Govern ment Annuities through the medium of Savings Banks, and to make other provisions connected therewith. The Commissioners for the Reduc tion of the National Debt are to be al lowed to receive money from depositors, &c. for the purchase of Savi ngs B an k s A nnu iti es, of not less than 41. nor more than 301., and such annuity may be granted to or p ossesse d by any married man or woman, although the husband or wife of such party already possesses a like annuity. De ferred Annuities may be granted with or without return of purchase money, but no return will be made after the first payment of the annuity has taken place. Where parties cannot keep up their payments, they may be allowed, instead of receiving back the amount, to convert it into a life annuity that will cost the exact sum already paid, and a Deferred Annuity already paid for may be con verted into an immediate annuity. All these are concessions that cannot but tell favourably upon the system of annuities, and promote the much desired extension. The name of the party for whose benefit the =nifty is taken will always have to be inserted in the grant as a joint proprietor of the said annuity. In the case of females, minors, and idiots, however, trustees will be permitted to purchase annuities. The con tracts for annuities may be made either at the Savings Banks, or at the National Debt Office. Money payable upon the death of a party may be commuted into an annuity. The annuities for lives will be payable half-yearly, either in January and July, or in April and October. Annuities granted under this act will not be assignable except incase of bankruptcy or insolvency. These annuities will be exempt from taxation, and other privileges are accorded. The state of the money market is so easy that we could scarcely believe there was an appre hension of war. Bills of two to three months' date have been discounted at 2i, and for shorter terms at 2/ per cent. This is quite in consonance also with what is observable in the Stock Exchange, where cash is readily obtainable at 14 per cent. In the meantime specie flows in steadily, the steamer Atlantic having arrived last evening with 300,000 dollars from the United States, where also there were immense sums being received from California. Silver is slightly dearer, having risen id. per pound upon purchases for exportation. to China where the rebellion has occa sioned hoarding. The English Stock Market is rather firmer this morning, but there is still a marked pause among the jobbers, and a prevailing uncertainty how to act. The inclination after so much selling out would naturally be to buy, but there is required some more positive assurance that peace will be pre served, in order to restore confidence. Consols have been 98. 1 2 g. The New 3,1 per Cents. have been 104- 1, and the Three per Cents. 99 to g. Bank Stock has been supported at 229. Exchequer Bills are 2s. to ss. premium. Foreign Securities are quite neglected, and the quotations are merely nominal. Peruvian, par to prem. ; Buenos Ayres, 62 ; and Chilian, 104 ; Sardinian, 941 ; and Russian steady at 117 to for the Five per Cents. Nothing has been done in Spanish Bonds, which remain nominally as before ; and Mexican are about 27. k to 28k. The Railway Share Market has been rather im proving this morning, in the absence of any exten sive dealing. The public keep off at present ; but, from the abundance of money, it is very probable that they would select railways in preference to many other securities, if they were satisfied as to the aspect of political affairs. The only transac tions have been in North-Western; Caledonian, Great Northern, and one or two other principal lines. French Shares have been exceedingly dull, and therefore merely nominal. The Land Companies' shares have been rather firmer, and a rise has occurred of 1/. t o 2/. i n th e Agricultural, and about 1/. in the South Australian. The Australian Bank Shares are duller. The non-official prices are Central Railway of France 11-, to premium, Metcalfe Mine 5 to 6 premium, Port Royal 1 to Sue River to 1, and Jamaica 21 to 21 premium.

Dudley de Ros, honoured the Haymarket Theatre with their presence last evening. The Bishop of Antigua had an interview with the Duke of Newcastle yesterday, at the Colonial -office. ADVICES FROM AUSTRALIA.—Advices have been re ceived from Adelaide, South Australia, to the 14th of March. The attempts in progress to perfect the naviga tion of the river Murray excited great interest, and it was thought they would ultimately prove successful. The last sale of Burra Burra shares had taken place at 127. Money was worth from 10 to 12 per cent., and gold was quoted 3/. 16s. per ounce. The latest ac counts from Port Phillip represented the yield of the various gold districts as steadily increasing. Landed property continued to command high prices. Aberdeen Ainbg, Nottng.
