_ . • - - MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE --(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 b a l es, o f w hi c h 1, 000 A mer i can w ere taken for export and on speculation. The : market closed tamely but firmly. The sales cora- Prised 5,000 American, 200 Pernam and Maran !-,1,4111) at 61d. to 71d., 700 La Guayra, at 5d., 400 - ,gYPtian, 60. to 11d., 200 Bahia, at'6id. to 60., 2 ° o o Surat, at 34d. to and 30 Sea Island, at s ' t° 4d. per lb. Railway Shares were flat, at ower p r i ces. The following statement upon the cotton market t•S Sll PPlied by Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co., of Liverpo o l : month sate The accounts from Ame r ica throu g h ou t th e pas t ate that the receipts of Cotton into the shipping p or ts were rap i dly diminishing, and relatively higher Prices ruling, whilst the estimates of the Crop were be til.go_ red uce d , which has given increased confidence to ; s kiers. Th e excessive stock of all description which Irivr a ccumulated h ere , and at the beginnin g of the _n ° Oa exce e d e d t h at of the previous year by upwards a e n f 150,000 bales, caused the trade to purchase sparingly, only for i mme di ate wants, in the expectation that :(11 would eventually depress prices ; but it is scarcely p r obable that any material declince can take place for asesent, beyond occasionally slight fluctuations, for for the season advances, and so much Cotton having come forward at BO early, a period, it is reasonable to suppose dour imports will greatly diminish, and,should consumption uen at its p resent rate the stock must be considerably re- St before th e end of the year. Already the total lock has bee n reduced from the above to an excess of 4 '750 bales ; but it must be borne in mind, that of i_ l n,eriean alone the stock is now on about a par with ,7_3L year, whilst the excess in shipments to Great Britain '4B grea ten reduced to 90,000 bales ; therefore, with a d consumption in the United States and insetcontinent of Europe, it appears evident we not receive a larger supply than usual to itet the requirements of the trade. Under tatgse circumstances our market has been du ra hardening in price, and we advance our quo bp„'e,l,B middling' and the better class Id. to 3-16 d. )., whilst the lower qualities, which are very dull scarcely sa l ea bl e , remain unchanged. , " Business in Manchester continues good, and prices the re well m a i ntained, but the dull accounts received from _l . °, Brazils, and the deranged state of a ffair s i n Chi na , w ill militate gre a tly a g ainst any decided improvement in Pric es : , Upon the state of the silk market, Mr. H.

W. eWesbury and Co., report as follows : e ,The markets for Foreign and Colonial produce have ailldaued quiet during the past month, sugar being Ceost the only article on which anything like activity Peevailed. Importers have endeavoured to strengthen e markets by holding those articles which have a :,W,cward tendency ; the public sales have been limited r ,l'a the exception of sugar and indigo, but privately a r°4 business has been done for home consumption and srexport.

SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DA Y.) ROBBERY IN • DWELLING-1101M. Henry Pugh, 23, was indicted for stealing a silver inkstand and other articles from the dwelling.house of John Robert Delaposse, at Richmond. From the evidence of Mary Rowland, a servant in the prosecutor s employ, it appears that on Thursday last she found that some person had entered the house while it was being cleaned, and on going to the drawing-room, facing the lawn, she discovered that several articles had been stolen, among which Was the silver inkstand. In formation was immediately given to the police, and a pursuit was set on foot, when the prisoner was shortly afterwards apprehended near the town of Richmond, and on being searched the inkstand was discovered. In defence the prisoner said he found the inkstand on the road near Richmond, and never was near the pro secutor a house. Evidence was given by the police that he was a very bad character, and the jury found him guilty. The Chairman sentenced him to nine Months' hard labour in Wandsworth House of Correction. ESCAPE OF AN INCORRIGIBLE ROGUE THROUGH A BAD COMMITMENT. Charles Barrett, 45, was brought up, committed by J. Foster, Esq., a county magistrate, on the 23rd of April, to hard labour at Wandsworth until these Quarter Sessions, for being an incorrigible rogue and vagabond at Godalming. The prisoner has been upwards of fifty times in cus tody and punished, and the law gave power to magis trates to send him to hard labour until the Quarter Sessions for the county, when the Court had power to commit him for a very long term. By an error of the magistrate he was committed until the Adjourned Sessions, instead of the Quarter Sessions. On being brought up, the Clerk of the Peace said the error was fatal, and the prisoner, however incorrigible, must now be discharged. The prisoner, much to his surprise, was then dis charged. LORD MAYOR'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.) CITY PRIVILEGES-JEFFEINS V. LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an inquiry to assess damages, under what is generally known as a Writ of Compensation. In the present case, Sir F. Thesiger, and Mr. Hance appeared for the claimant ; and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Ryland for the company. Mr. Randall, one of the privileged City pleaders, pro tested against counsel being engaged on either side, whilst all the City Pleaders (4) did not hold a brief. The question of throwing the Court open has been mooted, and, to a great extent, been satisfactorily ar ranged ; and solicitors are now free, not only to practise in the Court, but by permission the Judge, not only to plead in person, but under peculiar circumstances, by their clerks. The present'case gave rise to the ques tion, but the subsequent one was of equal, if not greater, importance. kr. Ryland pressing his protest, The Learned Recorder said that the matter of privi lege was in course of settlement, and if Mr. Randall thought it right to waive the question at present, it would prevent discussion now. Mr. Randall said he did not waive any right, but would, of course, bow to the Court, and let the matter remain open. Sir Frederick Thesiger disavowed any intention to infringe upon any privilege and he wasnot aware that a writ for compensation directed to the Sheriff came under the cognisance of the Lord Mayor's Court. His Lordship said that although the writ was directed to the Sheriff, still it was to be tried in the Lord Mayor's Court, which bad very important rights in Law and Equity. A verdict was taken by consent for 1,700/. • ANOTHER CASE OF PRIVILEGE. In the next case Mr. Ryland, one of the City pleaders, appeared for the defendant, but the City counsel for the plaintiff did not appear, nor any other City pleader to hold the brief. Mr. Ryland, by courtesy, held over for a time, and his Honour and the jury for a short time, when, getting impatient, it was determined that the case should be proceeded with. Mr. Rogers, clerk to Mr. W. R. Buchanan (one of the solicitors admitted under the new rules for admission:of attorneys), was called upon to take the place of counsel. The me was full of legal technicalities, but of no interest. The case was not concluded at 1 o'clock. THE SiIAIZE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS.

GROOM'S TULIP SHOW. 1127 1206 There was yesterday a private view of Mr. groom's annual exhibition of tulips. They are this season much finer and more regular than they have been for years. The great variety of the colours is surprising, and the propitious weather has favoured them. The grand bed of tulips is under an awning 150 feet in length and 17 feet in breadth, and contains about 2,000 roots. Some of the most esteemed varieties aro " Victoria Regina," "Prince of Wales," "Duke of Norfolk," "Duchess of Sutherland," "Nourri Effendi," " Michael Angelo," " Dr. Homer," " Countess of Wilton," and "The Mar quis of Bristol," which is valued at 100 guineas. The public exhibition opens to-day. Among the visitors yesterday were the Duchess of Cambridge, Rev. Lord John Thyme, Lord Claude Hamilton, M.P., Lord Kenyon, Lord Crewe, Lord Tenterden, Lord Saltoun, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Durham, the Duchess of St. Albans, Earl Crawford and Balcarras, &c. LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND LORD LONDON DERRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—May I again request the favour of►the insertion in your paper of the enclosed letter from Lord John Russell ?

The adjourned meeting of this company took / A ce yesterday, Mr. J. G. Frith in the chair, when a report was presented containing a further correspondence with the Government on the question of the contract, and the preliminary recommendations of the board for taking the sense of the proprietors respecting an arrange ment with the General Screw Company. The Go vernment, it was intimated, adhere to their deter mination of withdrawing the contract, but abstain from enforcing a penalty. The principal topic dis cussed was the future management of the under taking, and the existing prospects of a union with its competitor. A feeling prevailed adverse to a junction with the General Screw Company, particu larly when it transpired that it would not be unac companied by legal difficulties ; and, as no specified plan was brought forward, the majority refused to pass an affirmative resolution. With regard to the advantages to be derived from an amalgamation, opinions greatly varied, and it was eventually agreed to receive the report of the directors, and to appoint a committee to examine the affairs of the company previously to any final step being adopted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SPORTING NOTES—No. COCCXXIX: THE DERBY. Out of the one hundred and ninety-seven nominations obtained to this, the principal stake of the year, from twenty-seven to thirty-one will be the number found at the post. The class of horses this year, if anything, are a shade better than usual ; and, if I am not very much out in my calculation, one of the most exciting races ever witnessed on Epsom Downs will be the result. The field will be composed of :—West Australian, Sittingbourne, Orestes, Mayor of Hull, Umbriel, Tal fourd, Jerry Kent, Stone Plover, Rattle, Vanderdecken, Barbatus, Honeywood, Ninnyhammer, Cheddar, Ratap lan, Peggy, Pharos, Brocket, Filbert, Cineas, oomber land a Sthatesmon, Orinoco, Pharold, Ethelbert, and Spread Eagle. These are all pretty certain to run. One of Mr. Clarke's it is supposed will start—Mr. Sykes, or Singapore—and lonic is said to be a runner ; but Contentment, Lascelles, Beverlac, Speed the Plough, and Golden Plover, are on the doubtful list. This last lot, whether they run or no, matters little, as they cannot by any manner of accident win. I will now proceed to a careful digest of the chances of those animals that I have set down as certain starters. Beginning with John Scott's celebrated lot, it is toler ably evident to me, that Umbriel, although he can stay better than his stable companion West Australian, is not equal to him ; therefore, for the most part, I shall confine my observations to the crack of the lot. Mr. Bowes' b c WEST AUSTRALIAN is possessed of one of the best pedigrees extant, being by Melbourne out of Mowerina (own sister to Cotherstone) by Touchstone, out of Emma, (dam of Mundig) by Whisker, thus being related to two Derby and one St. Leger winners. He was early last year thought to be an uncommonly good thing, and was backed at rather a stoutish price for a good deal of the hard cash ; and, notwithstanding, he was very heavily entered, only ran in two of his en gagements, neither of which performances are any crite rion of his merits. His appearance in the Guineas this year, has caused many diversified opinions, being appa rently quite up to the mark, yet, many aver winning with anything but considerable ease from Sittingbourne who was in a half prepared state. It is my opinion that he could have won by much farther than he did had it so pleased Butler ; and I believe, as I have all along stated, that whoever may be the winner to-morrow he will be one of his most dangerous antagonists. He will be ridden by Frank Butler. UMBRIEL is a nice compact little horse in capital con dition ; with a list of performances containing nothing particular in them, and the fourth or fifth place he may probably occupy. Sim Templeman will have the mount. THE MAYOR OF HULL requires no consideration what ever, his chance being perfectly desperate. Holmes will be in the pigskin. SITTINGBOURNE, on the strength principally of his exhibition in the Guineas has become a very prominent favourite ; and being a large strided, slashing looking gentleman with a good turn of speed, will finish in front ; but as the absolute winner I cannot for an in stant entertain the notion. Pettit rides. FILBERT, the only hope of Lord Exeter's numerous lot, is doubtless going to run on the forlorn-hope prin ciple, which has at times brought about some curious results for Lord Exeter. His chance, after the knocking about he has received this spring, must be infinitesimally small, and to the ruck I consign the blue and white stripe on this occasion. Norman will do the needful. NINNYHAMMER, the property of the lucky Captain Lane, has being doing such capital work of late that the stable think his chance as good, or pretty nearly so, as any in the race. I fancy that the bad winter hepassed, and the indifferent state he was in two months ago, must tell its tale ; and though I fancy the blood and the shape of the animal amazingly, yet I do not hold any hope of his getting a place. Who is to have the mount is uncertain at present, whether G. E. Sharpe, Bartho lomew, or Whitehouse, although last evening it was re ported that the last-named individual was the one selected. Pharold, who is only a mile horse, or I am much de ceived, goes to Epsom without much hope of carrying off the laurels. Mann will probably ride him. ETHELBEIIT is a decidedly superior handicap horse ; and had they reserved him during the spring, would have made a tolerably good Derby one, but as the case stands I do not expect to see him emerge from the ruck. Crickmere will tool him. JERRY KENT, both the Rogers' consider, upon the strength of the ling they have got through Ethelbert, one of the very best horses in the race, will, I think, find their calculations rather out, although I expect the animal will run forward, being remarkably well built, and bearing a strong resemblance to his sire. Sam Rogers will, no doubt, do all he can to obtain a victory. STONE PLOVER, own brother to Stilton, and from ap pearances no better than his brother, has but a very re mote chance of immortalising his name to-morrow. W. Howlett rides him. CHEDDAR, one of the highest bred horses in the Derby, has suffered off and on for such a length of time from doubtful understandings, that it is scarcely pro bable, notwithstanding the good work he has been doing lately, that he will figure as A 1, or even obtain a place. He will have the talented assistance of Job Marson. RATTLE is a mysterious animal that I have not been able to ascertain much about, but what I have has not been in his favour. The mount, of course, is not known. VANDRRDECKEN, the high-bred brother of the Flying Dutchman, last year so completely outgrew himself, as to render it impossible to be properly prepared for this year's Derby. He will be steered by Marlow. PEGGY, own sister to Nancy, is too wiry an animal to compass the Derby course successfully against such com petitors as she will meet with. She is in capital condi tion, and will be ridden by Tommy Lye. TALFOURD, own brother to Tadmor, has turned out to be a much better animal than was at first expected ; but as they have fairly run him off his legs, he•will be of no use to-morrow. Basham will be his jockey. HONEYWOOD the mysterious ! is almost an imaginary animal, and until he put in an appearance at Epsom was cried down by nearly every one not of Osborne's party. The horse, though not quite such an indifferent one as I stated him to be some months since, is, however, in my opinion, anything but the winner ; and I think he will do very well if he can struggle into the front of the ruck. Young Osborne rides him. ORINOCO will, I fancy, be the solitary representative of the Fyfield Stable ; and for the good he will do, they may as well have kept him at home. Sly, I be lieve, will ride. _ _ _ _ _ CINEAS, who has been the shuttlecock of the ring for months, is a horse with a large stride, not very well filled up, and I have no idea that he will do the deed. A. Day will be at the helm. PIIABOS, the shining light of the Goodwood stable and many of the aristocracy, will be brighter on this, than on any previous occasion. The horse has been backed for a great deal of money, is the picture of perfection, will be ridden by Nat, and ought to be one of the first three. BROCKET, on the strength of his solitary performance last year, has found many friends, but I am very much afraid he is not suited to the distance. BARBATUS is a remarkably fine animal, much better adapted to the flat than to the course at Epsom. He is almost sure to finish in the ruck. It is said he will be ridden by Smith. ORESTES, the' horse whom I selected for the winner in my analysis of the Derby which I gave in the winter, stands as high in my estimation now as then. He is in first rate condition, and will be steered by Charlton. SPREAD EAGLE, the stable companion of Orestes, also runs, but has not the shadow of a chance. RATAPLAN will run moderately well, but as soon as the pace is made good will give in. COOMBERLAND STRATESMON Will help to swell the field. _ _ _ To sum up, I expect to see the winner of the Derby of 1853, in Baron Rothschild's ORESTES, and if anything beats him it will be either WEST AUS TRALIAN or PHAROS. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. TATTERSALL'S YESTERDAY. West Australian, Pharos, and Orestes' were the only Derby horses backed for money ; 70 to 40 and 100 to 55 were taken several times about the first ; 9 to 1, to va rious sums about the second ; 10 to 1 to upwards of 2,5001., and finally 9 to 1, to 1,0001. about Orestes. The odds quoted against Honeywood and Sitting bourne were scarcely more than nominal. Umbriel, too, was very quiet. The current of opposition against Cineas was as strong as ever ; 16 to 1 was again obtainable. 1,000 to 35 once, and 25 to 1, in tens and ponies, were betted against Jerry Kent. 20 20 10 St. St. St. St. St. 20 20 50 20 Shr.l St. St. St. St. 261 13i 20 20 THE DERBY. 100 to 55 agst Mr. Bowes's West Australian (taken) 9to 1 - Duke of Richmond's Pharos (taken) 9to 1 - Baron Rothschild's Orestes (taken) 9to 1 - Mr. Surtees na Honeywood (taken and offered) 9to 1 - Duke of Bedfoid's Sittingbourne 12 to 1 - Lord Derby's Umbriel (taken and off.) 10 to 1 - Mr. Powney's Cineas (taken and offd.) 20 to 1 - Mr. Wilkins's Peggy (taken) 25 to 1-- Mr. J.

OUGHT THH FAVORITE TO WIN 'l.—Looking at the nature of the probable field for Wednesday next, it may be worth while to take a retrospect of past years, in order to ascertain how the favourites have hitherto come off ; and to facilitate that we have, in another column, given the results of the Derby for the last forty years. In that time this great prize has been carried off by fourteen first favourites—about one in three. In the last ten years it has been carried off by four first fa vourites. To those who are fond of calculating chances by rule it may be worth while for us to follow up these figures: We begin with 1815. If we take that for the first year, and take the average of first favourites win- Ding as one in three, we shall find that, according to this mode of calculating, West Australian ought not to win, because he stands third in the last three ; and the first of that three (Teddington) was first favourite at starting. According to this system of calculating the chances, it is not the turn for a favourite to win. Of course we attach no serious weight to this kind of cal culation, but still it is interesting. If we add the odds at starting together for the last forty years, and take the average, we shall find that it is 14 to 1. If we do the same for the last ten years it is just the same aver age ; but what is still more remarkable, if we take the last four years in the same way it comes out nearly the same—as, for „instance, Flying Dutchman, 2to 1 ; Voltigeur, 16 to 1 ; Teddington, 3 to 1 ; and Daniel O'Rourkp, 40 :to 1. This again may set athinking those who are fond of calculations of the kind.—. Racing Times. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills a Certain Cure for Eruptions and all Diseases of the Skin. —Extract of a letter from Mr, J. Bird, draper, Keady, dated Feb. 14, 1852, to Professor Holloway :—" Sir, — My child, when three months old, was afflicted with a severe eruption all over her body. I sought every aid and the advice of surgeons and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hopeless. I then tried your Ointment and Pills, and without exaggeration the effect was miraculous, for in a short time she was restored to perfect health, and so remains. Mr. Bowden, book seller, Gainsborough, and myse lf, would be ha ppy t o satisfy any inquiries as to the truth of this statement."

A sum of 1,427,260,459 f. is allowed for the ordinary expenses of the year, of which amount the various Ministerial d e p ar t men t s t a k e 9715,141,376 f., and the cost of collecting taxes and the miscellaneous expenses, 449,119,083 f. The department of the Minister of State is allowed 6,804,750 f. ; Justice, 26,640,780 f. ; Foreign Affairs, 9,230,600 f. ; Public Instruction and Worship, 65,629,136 f., of which sum Public Instruction takes 21,416,036 f., and PublicWorsh ip, 44 , 2l3 ,ooof.;Marine,ll6,476,ooll; Finance, 2 0,193,153 f. ; Interior, Agriculture, and Commerce. 139 ,313,7261'., of which a sum of 40,844,176 f. is set down for general expenses, and 98,469,550 f. for the departmental service ; Public Works, 59,170,142 f. ; an d War, 307,686,046 f, The extraordinary works for the year are set down at 89,560,000 f., which sum is thus divided : the Department of the Minister of State and of the Household of the Emperor, 5,000,000 f. ; Depart ment of Public Works, 81,155,000 f. ; Department of Marine, 2,405,000 f. The whole budget of 1854, as voted by the Legislative Body, presents a sur plus of 3,476,630 f. M. de la Gueronniere has been named reporter on the bill for re-establishing Arts. 86 and 87 of the Penal Code. " Notwithstanding repeated notices," says the Moniteur, "a certain number of petitioners persist in presenting applications direct to the Emperor in his promenades. Painful accidents may arise therefrom. To prevent them, no petition will for the future be received either by the Emperor or the persons of his suite. Petitions addressed to the Emperor or Empress must be put into the post, or deposited at the palace in the hands of the con cierge, who have formal orders to receive them at all hours, and to cause them immediately to reach their Majesties." The municipal council of Issoudun (Indro) has just voted an unlimited credit for the reception of the Emperor and of the Empress, should their Majesties visit that town. The first division of the army of Paris, under General Dulac, marched yesterday morning to oc cupy the camp at Satory, near Versailles. The Moniteur gives news from Constantinople, dated 13th, confirming.the modification in the ca binet. The Grand Vizier is appointed Minister of War, and is replaced by the President of the Coun cil ; ifaat Pacha is named President ; and Reschid Pacha Minister of Foreign Affairs. There was considerable dullness at the Bourse yesterday in the market for government securities, and a general decline in prices had occurred at the termination of business. The Three per Cents. for the account fell 35c., and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 25c., whilst in the Three per Cents. for cash there was a fall of 30c., and of 40c. in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. Bank of France Shares remained unchanged . Closing prices : For the end of the montl Three per Cents., 81f. 15c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 103 f. 75c. For money : Three per Cents., 81f. 20c. ; Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 103 f. 40c. ; Bank Stock, 2,700 f. A decline of 17f. took place in shares of the Societe Mobiliere, which closed at 915 f. 50c. ; Mortgage Bank Shares are quoted at 880 f. The Railway Share Market was generally inactive, yesterday, and sales could only be effected at a decline on Satur day's quotations. Paris and Strasbourg Shares fell 10f. ; Paris and Lyons, 9f. ; and Paris and Rouen, sf. Shares in the remaining lines declined from If. to 4f. each, with the exception of Rouen and Havre, which advanced 2f, and Orleans, in which no change occurred. SPAIN. There is no political news in the Madrid journals of the 18th, The Gazette announces that, in order to give employment to the labouring classes, the construction of prisons and other public works in the provinces of Corunna and Pontevedra has been authorised. The Clamor Publico states that General Narvaez will shortly be authorised to re turn to Loja. The weather was very severe, and there were heavy rains. A good deal of sickness was the consequence. A letter of the 20th, re ceived by express, announces the nomination of M. Bermudez do Castro, brother of the Minister of Finance, to the embassy of Naples, in the room of the Marquis de Viluma, appointed to Paris. The Moniteur says :—" Some sea-port journals in publishing news on the insurrection of a part of the population which surrounds our factories of Grand Basam, demand that prompt assistance shall be sent to that establishment. The Moniteur of the 18th of April last, made known that the steam advice-boat Grand Bas sam, and the transport Tactique had been sent to Grand Bassam with the reinforcements expected by the commander of the factory. The commander of the naval division of the Western Coast of Africa has joined those two vessels with the steam frigate the Eldorado. Thus from the month of March all measures wore taken to put an end to the aggressions of the natives who aro hostile to us, and to assure, to the interests of our commerce in those parts, the protection which is due to them." A letter from Manilla of the 23d February, in the _Herald° of Madrid, says:—"lt appears that there has been some dispute with the English Con sul at Manilla relative to the prosecution for rob bery of a Jew named Megives Abraham, who, however, was set at liberty. Complaints are made of the unbecoming manner in which the consul expressed himself in the affair. It is desirable that the Government should be able to impose respect when necessary on the foreign commercial agents in that country, who, without any diplomatic cha racter, permit themselves to meddle with our judi cial administration. The French gendarmes on the Spanish frontier have just arrested a noted Spanish insurgent chief, named Cargo'. TURKEY. On Friday last an aide-de-camp arrived in a spe cial steamer from Odessa, bearing important dis- patches for Prince Menscliikoff. On the same day the Porte had communicated with Lord Stratford, who, at midnight, dispatched her Majesty's steamer Wasp with dispatches for England. The meaning of these diplomatic movements was that the Rus sian Ambassador had at length given in his ultima tum to the Porte, signifying his intention to wait for an answer until Tuesday, the 10th, when, in case of receiving any but an entire compliance with the Emperor's demands, he will at once take his departure. Russia demands that the Porte shall guarantee all the immunities and privileges accorded by the predecessors of the actual Sultan to the Greek Church in the Ottoman Empire, and that any favour or privilege granted to any other Chris tian church or community shall also be ac corded to the Greek Church. That the Patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch, Alexan dria, and Jerusalem, and the Archbishops and Bishops of the Greek Church, be not deposed for the future, except for a legitimate motive, and that the berats, or diplomas of investiture, granted by the Porte be no longer dead letters, but receive a full and entire application in all their clauses. That the Ambassador of Russia at Constantinople, and the Consuls and agents of Russia elsewhere, shall have the right to protect the Greek Church against all kinds of persecution and oppression on the part of the Turkish authorities. That the cupola of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre be re built under the inspection of the Greek Patriarch, and the priority in the tomb of the Church of the Virgin be assured to the Greeks. That the sanctu aries be confirmed perpetually and for ever in the hands of their present possessors. That a church and monastery be constructed at Jerusalem, in which Russian monks shall officiate. The most important privilege the Christians of this country possess is that of self-government. The Patriarch of each Christian community is elected by the people and clergy, and receives a firman of investiture from the Sultan, and is then the spiritual and .temporal head of his people. All the jurisdiction of the Greeks is managed through the Patriarch, the Porte not interfering, but re garding him as the responsible agent for the good order of his people, whom lie can punish by fines, imprisonment, and personal chastisement. All this is expressed by the berat, or diploma of investiture, which, at the dictation of Russia, is no longer to be a dead letter, since all this temporal power will be exercised for the future (through the Patriarch) by the Russian Ambassador at Constan tinople. Thus does Russia demand the exclusive protectorate over 12,000,000 of the Greek subjects. gl .

A letter from Baden, of the 18th, says : i -- " Friendly hands had planted crosses over the tombs of the persons who, in 1849, fell in the various combats, and in particular over the tombs of the insurgents buried in the cemetery of Heidel berg. On these tombs there was also placed an epitaph, exceedingly simple and inoffensive—viz., `He died for the liberty of his country.' The regime of the Prussian occupation, though noted for its severity, had seen nothing to blame in the sentiment of piety which dictated this tribute of respect. Th© police of Heidelb erg had just had the crosses and t om b s painted black, which has effaced the epitaphs which they bore. An order has also been issued, declaring that for the future every epitaph must receive the authorisation of the police before being put up." Baron Bern er , late Bishop of Varadin, in Hun gary, who took some part i n the revolution of that country, arrived at Neustift, Tyrol, on the Bth, under the charge of a commissary of police, that place having been assigned to him for his residence. A letter from Berlin states, that the canon Foerster has been definitively elected Prince Arch bishop of Breslaw. The Minister of Commerce of Prussia, M. Von der Heydt, has given or d ers t o have the railway from Konigsberg to Brauxsberg, that is, all th e Eastern line, opened at once to the public. The Cologne Gazette, under date of Frankfort 20th, says :—" The Senate has proposed to the Legislative Assembly an organic law to regu late the rights of the Jews. According to its provisions, the Jews will be electors and eli gible in such a manner that they may have four deputies in the Legislative Assembly, but these four deputies cannot vote for the election of senators. As to public dignities and employments, the Jews cannot form part either of the Senate, or of the College of the 51, or be judges or exercise any public functions in the administra tion of the schools and of the Christian churches. The Assembly has named a committee of seven members to examine a report on the bill." The Augsburg Gazette contains a letter from Vienna of the 18th, which says—" The rumour which was in circulation, that the GovernmeM de sired to contract a new loan in foreign countries, gains ground. It is believed that this loan will be applied to the regularisation of our securities, and that consequently it will be considerable." The Augsburg Gazette states from Constantinople —" We learn that the second capital point of the mission of Prince Menschikoff, after the question of the Holy Places, is the demand of a cession of territory near the Caucasus. The place in question is the port of Baltoun. If Russia were to obtain this port, the line of defence of the inhabitants of the Caucasus might be attacked in the rear, and this port might also serve as a basis for ulterior opera tions against Turkey in Asia and against Persia." SWITZERLAND. According to the Paris Moniteur, the Austrian Charge d'Affaires has left Berne, after notifying the rupture of diplomatic relations between Austria and Switzerland. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The selection of the Strat ford for the conveyance of the Australian mails on the 4th of June, at a cost of 1,0001, is called in question in some quarters, as not likely to realise their speedy transmission. She is described in the packet-list as a clipper bark, and appears to have been built at Cowes in 1832, and her voyage to Mauritius in 1851 is said to have occupied 92 days out and 100 days home, although her last passage from that place was performed in 81 days, It is to be presumed, however, that the tender was the shortest with regard to time of any of those sent in, and that the penalties for failure are sufficient to protect the public from loss, ftlAti also to indicate the confidence felt by her owners in her capabilities. At the same time, an opinion prevails that as several other eligible ships are now on the berth, it would have been better if, instead of chartering the Stratford to take out the mails for all the Australian colonies, for 1,0001., the gratuity had been divided into three sums of 3001., and distributed to three vessels respectively making direct passages to Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney. REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES.—Yesterday, the im portant Government bill for the registration of assur ances in England was printed. It contains as many as 103 clauses.
