Whatever be the course ultimately pursued by the Czar NICHOLAS, in reference to Turkey, there cannot, happily, be any further doubt as to the Eastern policy of the French or of the English Govezannent. It has been proclaimed too recently and too explicitly, on both sides of the Channel, to be longer matter of the smallest uncertainty. Amongst ourselves it has been avowed boldly by . Ministers of the Crown in either House of Parlia ment. Amongst our neighbours it has been pro claimed in a different manner, but quite as autho ritatively, through the columns of the Pays, in an elaborate article signed by the Viscount DE LA GUERTIONNIERE, and generally understood to express the real sentiments of the Imperial Government. Whether we turn for information to the announce ments made in that official organ of the Councils of the Tuileries, or to the speeches delivered in the British Lords and Commons by influential mem bers of the Coalition Cabinet, we discover in any case the entire coincidence of the views entertained in regard to the Sublime Porte by the rulers of France and Great Britain. The identity of those opinions at the present critical juncture must be considered as auguring admirably for the rapid settlement of the difficulty now agitating the op posite extremities of Christendom. The AUTOCRAT may be ambitious, may be audacious, may be resolute in carrying out the grand scheme of territorial absorption upon which he has adventured —b u t it is quite certain that he is also a man of indisputable sagacity. Against the united forces of France and England he would never plunge rashly into the perils of European warfare. We cannot for an instant suppose that he, no longer in the heyday of youth, no longer in the flush of early manhood, no longer liable to he hurried by momentary passion into the temerity of inexperience —we cannot for one moment sup pose that the astute and powerful intellect of the Emperor Nionous can be blinded to the formid able odds in favour of his numerous antagonists in the event of a conflict arising out of recent cir cumstances. Reflection must bring vividly before him the certainty that, in a struggle thus provoked, he would have to contend single-handed against the arms of all the more powerful sovereigns, his contemporaries. It would be a battle not between Russia and Turkey, but between the Cossack Legions and the patriotic valour of the Osmaulis—a valour inflamed to the highest pitch by a sense of wrong and by the inspiriting knowledge that the mili tary genius of OMIR PACHA would be aided by the State craft of RESCHID PACHA, by the Royal ardour of the Sultan ABD-UL-MEDJID, and by the maritime armaments dispatched by Queen Vic- TORIA and the Emperor NAPOLEON to the mouth of the Dardanelles. Added to all this, the CZAR cannot fail to perceive that France and England, in thus sustaining the rights of Turkey against the illegality of his daring and unprovoked aggression, would command the sympathies at least, if not the actual co-operation, of the rest of the chief Powers of Europe. Prussia would find it requisite to side with the opponents of the despotic Cabinet of Petersburgh. Belgium, and Spain, and Por ‘, ugal, and the different States both of Italy and Germany would look on at the righteous course pursued in this emergency by the Courts . of St. -James's and the Tuileries with cor dial and undisguised complacency. Even Austria, infected with Russian sentiments and hungering after Montenegro, and thirsting for ven geance against the defender of the fugitive leaders , of Hungary, even Austria swayed by a HAPSBURG, influenced by a NESSELRODE, and incited by the n ot - yet-extinct policy of a METTERNICH—wouId be compelled in decency, in honour, nay, in simple Prudence to support th e un it e d e ff orts made at Const antinople to withstand the insolent, lawless, and flagitious attempt made by the CZAR at political s poliat o i f on and territorial aggrandisement. The Councils with Sat. Petersburgh may bluster a little longer to keep up appearances. The AUTOCRAT may viii;etrmate more and more de cidedly his resolutio n obtai n at all hazards and tot fPthroeteeto t NT any means the coeuvuei great powers But before the authoritativ Europe the instigation s of his to the dictates of his prudence and mu o s w t e y rs iel o d f d e CZAR sooner or later postpone his s i n i ster must de signs upo n Constantinople. The chief feature of the Indian Bill now befor the House of Commons—the principle of S ir CHARLES WOOD'S proposition—is the retention of the existing system of double government, modi fied, it is true, in some trifling degree, but sub stantially the same, and liable to all the numerous and weighty objections that have been put for ward against the complicated and worse thus use less tnachinery now in operation. That is the issue tendered by Mr. BRIGHT, and accepted by Sir JAMES HOGG, as the champion and mouth piece of the Boart of Directors. If then, in op position to the earnest request of the inhabitants of Hindostan, it should be determined to legislate permanently, without hearing evidence that might be adduced in their behalf, and with the present defective information, we must decide what shall be the form of the New Government —whether double or sing le— and, if the former, whether the Company, as at present constituted, should retain any portion— or (as the efficient judicial officer quoted by Mr. , PHILLIMORE would say) " westage" of their former power. In one respect we are certainly favourably dr cutushnced for immediate legislation—and if that vantage ground were to be abandoned by post poning our final decision, it would form a strong reason against a continuance Bill for two or three years. We have now a carte blanche, a tabula rasa, on which to frame the Indian Constitution. There is no particle •f claim, no scintilla of right, which we are bound to respect or take into account even of the most trifling extent. We are, to all intents and purposes, in the same position as if India were a new acquisition, a country just brought under the authority of the Crown ; and if such were really the case, would we for a moment think it necessary to obtain the services of a small body of men, not nominated by the Crown or appointed for their acknowledged expe rience or eminent qualification, but elected by the wealthy dowagers and rich spinsters who have se lected Fla-st India stock as a beneficial investment for their capital, and not merely for the amount of in terest guaranteed by England, and which should be paid without deduction or drawback, although the bonds by which we are united to India should be completely severed, and the British flag no longer waved over a Tingle fort or stronghold in the East, but chiefly for the opportunities afforded for pro viding for the children of friends or relatives, through the influence of the kind-hearted director, who promised an appointment, in return for the support obtained during his canvass from and by means of the exertions of his fair constituents. As Mr. BRIGHT pertinently inquired—Would we (under the circumstances) " have sent some men into a bye-street of London to distribute patron age and govern the country ?" We shall allow Sir CHARLES WOOD to answer the question. The Right Honourable Baronet said—" I fully admit that, if you are to test the merits of the Indian Government by any known principle upon which Governments should be formed, it would be difficult to find so great an anomaly as an Indian Empire ;" adding, emphatically, and as if astonished at the hardihood of the assertions he had previously hazarded, as to the beneficial operation of the system—" It seems incredible that a Governor-General should be sent there who, for five or six years, exercises a power greater than almost any sovereign in the world—that he should be controlled and governed again by twenty-four gentlemen elected by a body of men--(and women ?)—not perhaps the best qualified to judge of the merits of a states man, and that that body of men should be controlled by an Indian Minister, who, in the ne cessary play of parties, is often put into that position without any previous knowledge of the Government of the country over the destinies of which he is called on to preside." It scarcely required the declaration that—" No man, if he were called upon to sit down to the task of con structing a Government for India would desire to construct a Government upon such a system for so mighty an empire !" But this is precisely what he himself is attempting to do at this moment. He is required "to sit down to the task of constructing a Government for India," and what is it he desires to do? Why, simply to per petuate a system which he truly characterises as " one of the greatest anomalies that could be found." Even if the system worked well—if it conduced to the prosperity of the Anglo-Indian Empire and the welfare and happiness of its myriads of in habitants (matters which we distinctly and mast unequivocally deny), it would not be in conse quence of, but despite, that "anomalous form of Government "—despite that which has been justly designated as " the mystery and mockery of a system which obscured re sponsibility and deluded public opinion." If such arguments had any weight, there would be an end to all hope of amendment. The Borough-monaerino• o system would still flourish i n o b rank luxuriance, and seats in the House of Com mons would be openly bought and sold as articles of exchange and barter in the money-market. We should have heard nothing of legal or other re forms ; and surely no extension of the franchise could be sanctioned by a Minister who would re strict the suffrages for the election of their mem- 'hers of this important and influential body, who dispense the patronage and control the destinies of that magnificent territory. That double form of government only enables both parties to evade the responsibility that would be cast upon a single department for any misgovern ment or maladministration—it is potential only for evil, occasioning great procrastination and needless and unnecessary delays, where prompti tude is of the greatest possible importance. Valu able suggestions are, if not " burked," at least shelved, at the East India House, and the Cannon row Board—the President whereof, the real autocrat, is appointed from party considerations, and not on account of any experience or peculiar qualifica tions for the situation—who, as Sir CITA.RLES WOOD declares, is " Often put into that position without any previous knowledge of the Govern ment of the country over the destinies of which he is called on to preside," is enabled to excuse his own ignorance and negligence by transfering the blame to the Leadenhall-street Magnates. And for this unwise, unstatesmanlike, and " ano malous" system, the country is required to trans fer enormous patronage to the hands of these irresponsible and, possibly, unqualified persons. Why should not the Government of India, like that of any other dependency of the United King dom, be made a department of the Govern- ment, with a Council, and a responsible Minister of State? Aud even if the double form of Govern ment should be considered essential, why should one of its branches be placed in the hands of the holders of 6,000,0001. of India Stock, who have no greater claim than the owners of the South Sea Stook about to be paid off, or of Three per Cent. Consolsthan the Court of Aldermen of the City of London, or the vestrymen of St. Pancras or Marylebone—to the exercise of a trust so im portant and so beneficial to the Trustees them- selves, and their friends and relations, who thereby secure for themselves so many lucrative and desirable situations t There are hopeful symptoms that the appeal or mercy, or rather fur justice, on behalf of the Dockyard electors has not been in vain. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who volunteered to be Parlia mentary agent in passing sentence of political death upon them, has himself given them a respite. The Dockyards themselves are holding meetings, and taking that sure course for success, helping themselves ; and now a very able weekly journal, and one supposed to be on the best possible terms with the Treasury, which at least has of late very frequently advocated strongly the course after wards taken by Government, has taken up the cause of the proposed victims with unusual earnestness. It has presented its readers with a long homily in five or six heads, and a peroration besides, which, we should have feared too many readers would skip, as we used to do the dialogues in " Pilgrim's Progress." However, in all the arguments of our contemporary, as our readers will have seen, we most heartily concur and wel come his co-operation. we, t oo , regar d the pro position of disfranchisemeut as premature, as un ea 116°638417 ' as indiscriminate--punishing a l arge a ndinnocent majority for the *wickedness of a venal f ew „,_ im , as partial in relatio n t o other constit ployes, and de and other Government ern and we sincerely hop e no the public se r vi ce ; that, though the House of Common received - I mn d • " 21 e. tkunonnoement of a bill for disfranchisement with cheers, yet a little reflection will dispose them to less rash and question able means of checking corrupt influence. Indeed, we are pretty sure that those cheers were not given for the precise proposition to disfranchise. They were rather elicited by some appearance of sin cerity and earnestness on the part of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in regard to putting dowh electioneering corruption—especially a mode of corruption which our gallant tars and the country might rue in the shape of inferior and comparatively inefficient wooden walls. So strongly do we feel that our naval work in the Dockyards ought to be the best work in the kingdom, or in the world, that we would consent to disfranchisement, or to anything else necessary, to secure the efficiency of the ser vice. We must no longer have our " smitheries (nor anything else in our Dockyards) inferior to those in the private trade." Indeed, if it were so, our Dockyards themselves would soon cease to exist. It would never be long endured by the community, by the service, or by Governments in these days of free discussion, that the defenders of our country should not sail in the last and best equipped ships which could be constructed ; and if private contractors could do the work best, into their hands assuredly the work would go. It was this feeling of the importance of Dockyard service being of the very best, alarm at its having been tampered with, and Lord Joules showing himself, on behalf of the present Cabinet, quite ready to part with Government influence, which induced Honourable Members to cheer as they did. We, perhaps, on the spur of the moment, might have done the same. The House and his Lordship may, however, now consistently pause and reconsider the case. Both have shown their concern on the all-important point of secur ing efficiency at any cost ; but the short cut of disfranchisement is demonstrably not the thing. It appears that the rescinded minute is now made an order in Council. Sir BALDWIN WALKER has been restored to the full powers which, by uni- versal agreement, he has exercised so admirably, There is little chance of his ever being tampered with again by any Government, and it is per fectly certain that under his administration a man may be as zealous a politician as he pleases, provided he leaves his politics at the gates of the Dockyards. Woe, we venture to say, will betide the unhappy wight whom he should hear of, as having used his position in the service on behalf of either the " ins" or the " outs." And as to the permanency of such a kind of administration, we have the fullest assurance that, single-minded as Sir BALDWIN WALSER has proved himself in looking to the good of the service only, " we have within the realm five hundred good as he." It will now become the settled point of honour with every English gentleman undertaking the office of Surveyor of the Navy to keep the pro motions immaculate of political suspicions. It will therefore be done henceforth. Au English gentleman, and least of all one who must almost necessarily have been connected with the navy, is not the man to fail in any engagement to which his honour is really and openly committed. The whole of the late proceedings, moreover, must have assured the workmen themselves that they are safe for the future ; every man will now at tempt to rise in the service by skill, industry, and good character only. It is on moral considera tions of this kind that we chiefly rely against future corrupt influence. We would indeed give thepledge of the Ballot in addition ; and that not only as Mr. TUFFNELL, we believe, proposes, 0 the Dockyard electors only, but to the electors of the entire borough. We would so merge the votes in secrecy and numbers that detection of the voter's secret, if he chose to keep it, should be impossible. In any case, whether Lord JOHN will permit the Ballot to be tried in these appropriate consti tuencies or not, we earnestly entreat Honourable Members to set their faces against the rough and ready process of disfranchisement. This kind of electoral Lynch law is better suited for the lati tude of California and Kentucky than of Eng land. For the sixty or seventy really pocket boroughs which Lord JOHN' s last Reform Bill so tenderly spared, for constituencies, at once so small, so dependent, and so corrupt, that Messrs. BROWN and COPPOCK know their price to a sovereign, or their master to a certainty, no other remedy is indeed possible ; but the country will never be satisfied to annihi late boroughs comprising so many elements of in dependence, and capable of being easily rendered the most respectable and independent constitu encies of the kingdom. And we object again, as we have before done, to depriving any Govern ment servants of their vote. Even in the case of the Exciseman and the Postmaster, we have always thought it a needless degradation. The character of every person selected for Government employment ought to be a sufficient guarantee. This may sound a little Utopian to some, but partly when we remember how small a part Government officials form of any particular constituency, partly that nearly all of them must be men much above the lowest in point of education, and, further, that detection in electoral mal- practices would bring down upon them a vin dictive Rouse of Commons, exposure, followed by rebuke or dismission, it may come to be thought eventually that official disfranchisement is needless jealousy. Nothing, however, can reconcile us to the extension of this really un-English rule. Pro tect the honest voter against the political sharper, but do not rob him yourself under pretence of guarding him against knaves. Treat the Govern ment official as a man above using his office shab bily, and you take the most efficient means to hinder him from doing so. If he offend, punish him, if you will all the more severely, for prosti tuting not only his own honour, but his country's trust ; but do not lay down as a principle that the QuErm's service is incompatible with political honesty. TAE NEW TEA DUTlES.—Yesterday a parliamentary paper set forth that in the month ended the sth ult., only 2,359,8651 b. of tea were entered for home consump tion, paying duty, whereas in the like period of last year the quantity was 4,704,0921 b. The difference arose in consequence of the expected new duties. BULLION IN THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—On Monday a return to the Houses of Parliament was issued, from which it appears that on the 16th of April the bullion in the Bank was 19,037,0001. The monthly issue of notes in circulation in England, Scotland, and Ireland, in the four weeks ending 16th April, was 40,096,9351. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY.—At the meeting of the Grand Junction Canal Company, held yesterday, the report was adopted, and a dividend declared of 21. per share, free of income tax. Upon the directors being nominated for re-election for the ensuing year, a large number of proxies were unexpectedly produced, by which they were turned out and a new set chosen. This proceeding excited strong remarks, since it was asserted that if notice had been given of an intention to use proxies the re-election of the old directors would have been carried by a large majority. 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 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and, the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.074, it follows that gold is about 0.38 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 427 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17e. 101 d. 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 0.12 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh 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 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. IREVENUE SEIZURES.—In pursuance of directions from the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Trea sury, the Commissioners of Customs have directed their officers at the Several ports throughout the United King dom, in case of any seizure or detention of a vessel, boat, or goods, at or within their respective ports, upon appli cation being made to them in writing, to take the evidence on oath of the merchant or other party claiming the property on the one side, and of the detaining officer on the other, and to receive the testimony on oath of any witnesses necessary for the proper investigation of the case, and to transmit the papers, with their observa tions thereon, for the Board's consideration and direc tions; observing, however, that this order is not in tended to apply to cases in which a prosecution of the vessel, boat, goods, or party shall have been directed by the Board, or in which they have reason to suspect fraud, or deem it expedient to take the directions of the Board in the first instance. The officers are also directed take especial care, before any inquiry of the kind be commenced, that timely notice be given to the party making the application, in order that he and all. parties interested, and who may be desirous of being present, may have t4A opportunity of attending the 111Yestigeition. THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVEN ING, JUNE 8, 1853 ::w.~r■ IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Wildmore Fen and East and West Fens High ways Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time :—Barnsley Waterworks (No. 2) ; Copper Miners in England Company ' • Manchester and Bury-road ; Oxford, Worceste r , an d Wolverhampton Railway (Extension of Time, &c.) ; Whitechapel Im provement ; Wimbledon an d Croydon Railway. Pelham Clinton's Estate Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Mr. I. BUTT presented a petition from a building society, against the Registration of Assurances Bill. Mr. THORNELY presented a petition from the bankers of Staffordshire to the same effect ; also, a petition from the Roman Catholics of Bilston, against the Inspec tion of Nunneries Bill. Sir E. FILMER presented a petition from Rochester, praying for medical reform. Mr. Sergeant SHEE presented a number of petitions from different places in Ireland, against the bill for the inspection of nunneries. Mr. L. HEYWORTH presented a petition from Derby, against the Registration of Assurances Bill. Mr. M. GIBSON presented several petitions from mechanics' institutes, praying for the total repeal of the advertisement duty. Lord MONCK presented a petition from a place in Scotland, praying the house to take steps to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays. NOTICE OF MOTION. Mr. KEATING gave iotice that on Monday, July the sth, he should bring the report of the Dockyard Com mittee under the attention of the house. The dropped notices were re-appointed. PETERBOROUGH ELECTION. Mr. K. SEYMER brought up the report of the Peterborough Election Committee, declaring Mr. Whalley to be unseated, on the ground that his agent had been guilty of treating On the motion that the evidence taken before the committee be printed, Mr. GEACH called the attertion of the house to the circumstances of the case. Grave charges of bribery and treating were made against Mr. Whalley and his agents, but the charges were not proved or attempted to be proved. On the contamry, it was shown that the elec tion was fought upon pure and straightforward prin ciples • but after the election a ' di nner was g i ven t o M r. Whalley by the electors, each elector paying ss. for his dinner, and at this dinner it would seem that Mr. Whalley then agreed to pay for the wine. It did not appear, however, that this was done with a corrupt motive, but nevertheless the com m itt ee h a d unsea t e d Mr. Whalley on the ground of treating. It seemed to him that the house was running mad upon the question of purity of elections ; but in its desire to correct these abuses the house should take care that it did not do in justice in cases like this. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY deprecated discussion at this stage of the proceedings, and suggested that any remarks which hon. members might wish to make should be post poned until the evidence should have been printed. This course was taken, and the subject dropped. THE "NO HOUSE." Mr. COBDEN took the opportunity of this motion to direct attention to the conduct of one of the door keeper's yesterday on the occasion of the " no house." He with several other hon. members were waiting in the lobby before four o'clock waiting until the Chaplan made his exit, but the door-keeper kept the door closed until the house was counted, and the conse quence was, he and others were unable to get admission in time to make up the number of 40. He complained also that several members of the Government' exerted themselves, and even canvassed some of his own friends to prevent a house being made, which he considered was highly improper. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LEWIS did not think that any blame was at tributable to the door-keeper, because he distinctly heard that functionary throw the doors open and say, " Prayers are over, gentlemen." (Hear, hear.) Lord D. STUART said the "no house" was caused by a shabby trick of the Government, and the sooner such manoeuvres were put a stop to the better. The noble lord the member for Scarborough persuaded seve ral members, in his hearing, not to enter the house, be cause it would be inconvenient to the Government, and that was the reason there was no house. The fact was the whipper-in of the Government yes terday acted as whipper-out. No doubt the leader of the House of Commons would disavow these proceedings of his subordinates in the same way that the Premier had disavowed the sentiments of the noble lord. (Hear, hear.) Mr. AGLIONBY said they were making too much of this matter, and for his part he thought honourable members themselves were to blame for allowing any one to whip them out. (A laugh.) Mr. BROTHERTON denied that any blame attached to the door-keeper. The fact was, his hon. friend the member for the West Riding and his friends were loiter ing about the lobby when they should have been in their seats. Mr. A. PELLATT was one of those who happened to be in the house when it was counted, and the diffi culty that he felt at the time was not being'able to get old to tell hon. members in the lobby what was going on The forms of the house, he believed, would not allow a member to quit the house, when once in, until after it was counted. ' The SPEAKER said it was the duty of the door keeper to keep the door closed while prayers were on, hut after that the doors were thrown open and kept so until the close of the pro eedings. It appeared in this inotance, that the doors were closed during prayers, but opened immediately afterwards. The subject then dropped, and the motion for printing the evidence in the Peterborough election case was agreed to. COURT OF COMMON LAW (PLEADING) DILL. The house then went committee on this bill. [LEFT SITTING.] SECONDARIES COURT-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Potter.) CORDENZEZ V. THE HON. FREDERICK WALPOLE. This was an action to recover compensation for ser vices rendered by the plaintiff as assistant secretary to the Quartzbnrg Gold Mining and Importing Company, of which defendant was alleged to be a director. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The plaintiff was called and proved that he had been engaged by Mr. Mettram, the secretary of the company, and it was endeavoured to be shown that defendant was one of the directors —that his name appeared in the prospectus issued by the company, and that he had at tended the meeting of the board in the capacity of direc tor. To prove the last point the plaintiff was asked whether he had not entered the minutes of the meetings, and knew from them that defendant was present as one of the directors. The question was objected to. Plaintiff's attorney then called for the Minute Book, to produce which notice had been given. For the defendant, it was urged that the book was not in his possession, and that secondary evidence ought not to be admitted. There could be no doubt there had been such a book, and plaintiff had sworn that it was in his own handwriting, and he ought to have called upon the party who had the custody of it to produce it ; but when produced it might not prove the plaintiff's ap pointment or the defendant's liability. The Learned Secondary concurred, and the plaintiff elected to be nonsuited. SOUTRNARK.-(1 1 1:1 S DAY.) ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—Ann Garvas, a good-looking female, eighteen years of age, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with attempting to drown herself in the river Thames. James Harman, watchman and porter in the employ of a wharfinger at Carpenter Smith's Wharf, Tooley street, said that, shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, he was standing on the wharf, when he saw the prisoner rush down the public stairs adjoining and leap into the river, which was very deep at the time. Witness jumped on board a ship lying at the wharf, and having lowered a boat, he leaped into it and pusked off to the female's assistance. After considerable difficulty he caught hold of her hair, and kept her head above water until some person's came to his assistance, when they got her into the boat, and conveyed her ashore. She was quite insensible, and, by the advice of a neigh bouring surgeon, he took her to St. Thomas's Hospital, where the usual remedies were applied for some time, and she was restored to animation. James Hurlem, police-constable 114 M, said he re ceived the prisoner in charge at St. Thomas's Hospital that morning, when she expressed her regret that she had not been allowed to destroy herself. Mr. A'Beckett asked her what she had to say for herself I She replied that she was extremely sorry for what had occurred. Her unfortunate way of living had caused her to attempt the rash act, as she was tired of it, and did not like to inform her parents, who were respectable people. Mr. A'Beckett asked her whether she really wished to reform her habits of life, and become a respectable member of society ? She replied in the affirmative. Mr. A'Beckett said he should remand her until to morrow, so that her parents might b e made ac q uainted with the circumstances, and that something might be done for her. TWO DETERMINED SUICIDES BY FEMALES IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday morning two determined suicides were committed by two females, who committed self destruction by drowning themselves in the River Thames, off Mill-lane-stairs, Tooley-street, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that the first case is that of Catherine Carney, aged 19 years, who resided in Union street, Borough, and was observed by the policeman on duty to be loitering about, which created his suspicion, when, during his temporary absence, she plunged into the water. Au alarm was raised, when she was extri cated as quickly as possible, and conveyed to Elizabeth ward, St. Thomas's Hospital, where every means were used to restore animation, but without effect, as the un fortunate woman died shortly after her admission. An other woman, whose name is unknown, an acquaintance of the other, committed suicide by the same means, and near the same spot ; and although every means were adopted to rescue her from a watery grave, the parties were unable to succeed. No cause is at present assigned for these rash acts. Information was forwarded to the coroner, but no day has yet been named for the inquests. Viitr* I L;4 ttioll ASCOT RACES. (THIS DAY.)

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed tamely without much change in prices. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 500 Perham and Maranham, at 60. to 64d.; 200 Egyp tian, at Cid. to 9d., and 300 Surat, at 3,1 d. to 4id. per lb. Railway shares were active at im proved prices. The public sales of wool were brought to a close last evening, and the following particulars of the results are supplied by Mr. H. P. Hughes : " Our first series of the new clip consisting of 6,659 bales Australian ; 17,689 bales Port Philip and Portland Bay ; 2,757 bales Van Diemen's Land ; 97 bales South Australian ; 62 bales New Zealand ; 6,494 bales Cape of Good Hope ; 33,758 bales Colonial ; 3,308 bales East . India ; 436 bales Odessa Merino, and Brook Washed ; 202 bales Spanish and Portugal ; 265 bales German ; 770 bales Buenos Ayres ' • 2,829 bales sundries ; 41,568 bales in all, commen ce d 19th ult., earlier than was at first expected, and terminated, Skis day. " The attendance of home buyers was very good, and larger purchases made for continental account than in February last, but until political affairs assume a more steady aspect, we must not expect our continental neigh bours to operate freely. " Our sales opened at February rates, which were fully supported throughout, and closed with firmness. With some few exceptions, where no doubt great efforts had been made to Maintain a former character for con dition, the wool was not so well got up as in former years, some few Sydney flocks were very moity and burry ; still considering the many difficulties colonists must have met with during the last clipping season, there is no little credit dime for their exertions in being able to push forward a fair proportion of their growth so early, and, under trying circumstances, in such very creditable condition. Owing to scarcity of labour in the colonies a large proportion of wool has arrived in the grease. Good flocks in pretty light condition sold at satisfactory prices, Very little Van Diemen's Land or South Australian arrived in time for these sales. Cape Good Hope wool, of which a large proportion was offered, with the exception of some low mixed parcels. realized good prices. South American wool, of good quality and not - very burry, sold well, while that in burry and wasty con dition did not meet with so ready a sale. East India wool was in very good demand, and realized high prices, good qualities selling at ld. to 11d. advance over last February sales." By the Baltic, accounts three days later have been received from New York. The Stock market at the latest &Ate had assumed a more active ap pearance, the to udency in some of the "fancies" be ing upwards. l'he Columbia Bank at Washington, had stopped. Cotton had risen per lb. In freights for Livt rrpool more was doing, and they were firmer. A large business was being done in flour, and prices were higher. At New York,, the Star of the West had arrived from California with advises only one day later. The Market gem 32 - ally, for all kinds of goods was declining, and 1 ►revisions were cheaper owing to increased suppli( 3s. The stocks on hand, of most articles were lig' ht, and business was carried on to a very limited o: dent. The Columa Miners' Advocate says :—" The largest lump eve sr found in this state was t a k en ou t of Dr. Carpente is claim, at the Columbia-house, about five miles above this place, on Monday last. It weighs over c ale hundred pounds, two-thirds of which is suppose ato be quartz. We have not seen it, but those wh o have are confident that at least one third of it :is g old. The claim from which it was taken, Dr. Cl. :informs us, is paying from twelve to sixteen dollars a day to the hand. They are supplied with -water by the Rock Creek Canal Company." Bills Of Exchange were taken yesterday after noon, at the pre vicrus rates, on Paris and Amster dam, but at a slight reduction on Hamburgh, Frankfort, and 1 : Trieste. The Ronoural East India Company drew bills during the forth ight ending last evening to the amount of 52,7811 t. The Board of ' tirade Returns for the month end ing the sth ult. show an increase in the exports of 2,309,995/. ov •er the same date of 1852. The speculatc ors in stocks are somewhat at fault just now. Lat n yesterday afternoon intelligence was received the ,t the French funds had fallen 1 to 2 per cent. T his proves to be incorrect, actually because the low er price is in part attributable to the deduction of • the dividend. On the other hand, there are account sla town from St. Petersburg which read very unfavc narably, and inspire apprehension in many that the , Emperor of Russia will not yield. Another alarmir g rumour is that the French army is to be increase, 1 100,000 men. It may turn out that this is mere ly an arrangement connected with the raising of in n and the periodical retirement of those who have ; 3erved their time. Money is very easy, and this co un teracts the influence of the news which, as above i err tarked, is only partially credited. Consols have bee n 98# for account. The New 3 per Cents. have be !en 1011 to 102. Th e R e d uce d 3 per Cents. are a t 99f #. Bank Stock is firm at 229. Exchequer Bills are ss. to Bs. premium— a rise of 3s. Tb is day the dissentient holders are receiving back ; their money at par, and as the total amount is tl tree millions, much interest is felt to know what v Till be done with it. In Foreign Stock s there is not much doing, if we except Mexican , which are buoyant again at 28 to 1. Nothing ci '.efinite has yet transpired con cerning the report ed appointment of Messrs. Baring Brothers as the agents. Grenada Bonds have been at 221 iOr the Active, and at 10 to * for the Deferrer 1. Brazilian 41 per Cents. have realised 984- Spanish Deferred Bonds have been at 23k. The Swedish Loan is 1 to 2 discount. Sard inian Bonds have been quot e d 941. Portuguese 4 per Cents. are steady at 40. Dutch 4 per Cents. have realised 96, and Russian per cents. are 104, being about the previous rates. The railway share' market has been rather inac tive, and prices have not varied to any extent for the English lines. The French are rather lower. Gold mines are generally very firm, aid with more inclination to do business. Joint Stock Bank: shares have been firm. The Land Companies' shares have remained steady, but with less doing.
