On the motion for going into Committee on the Railway, Harbours, and Piers (Ireland) Bill, Mr. ROEBUCK quoted the expressions made use of by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER against the motion of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK a short time since and contended that this measure was the same in principle, though not in extent, and that it was brought forward at a time when there was a panic in the money market, as if to add to the monetary difficulties under which the country was labouring. The people of England, he was assured, would no longer suffer such unwise proceedings as this, of lending 620,000/. to Ireland, after they had already advanced 10,000,0001. He would therefore move as an amendment, that the other orders of the day be read. After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment l4 Against it 203 Majority for Ministers — 189 The House then resolved itself into Committee, and The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER said that as he had made his statement the other night on the motion for the second reading of the Bill at so late an hour that very few Members were present, he would now repeat it ; and he thought it would furnish a complete answer to the assertions which had been brought forward against the Bill.

THIS EVENING There is a vast distinction between the principle of the measure introduced by Lord G. BENTINCK, fcr the advance of sums amounting to no less than 16.000,0001. sterling, by instalments of 4,000,0001. per annum, to be distributed indiscriminately to all railways in Ireland, in the proportion of two parts from the State for one provided by the companies, and which was deservedly rejected by an overwhelm ing majority; and that which was last night brought forward by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the loan of 62.0,000/. to three railway companies in that country, (in sums of 500,0001., 83,0001., and 36,0001. respectively), which are already in progress of con struction, and which, in two of the three cases, have a portion of their lines now open and in daily use, with an average traffic yielding returns sufficient to afford ample security for the sums they are about to borrow, and which was sanctioned by an equally clear and decisive majority. The first proposition, it' carried, would introduce a new precedent, would impose new duties on the Government ; give enor mous advantages to speculators in Irish railways ; deteriorate the property of those who had made in vestments in similar works in this country, and prove a weighty drain on the finances of the country. The second proposition, which has been approved of, is merely an extension of a principle that has long been recognised, and the results of which have proved highly beneficial to the country. In fact, itis placing an additional sum at the disposal of the Public Works Loan. Commissioners, a body many years constituted, and who, if they had had sufficient funds at their disposaY for the purpose, would have themselves made the advance without any application to the Legislatures As the Right Honourable Baronet said, " there is, indeed, a wide difference between the Government appearing as money lenders in the market, and their advancing a sum to the Commissioners in addition to the amount annually placed at their disposal by Par liament, for the purpose of enabling them to make loans for the construction of approved works of this description." No injury is dune to any other class of speculators. If the undertaking in which they are interested requires assistance so urgently, that unless that aid is granted its progress must be stayed— if its immediate completion is calculated to prove so advantageous to the kingdom in general, to effect such public benefits, and if, above all, the par ties seeking aid can show such ample security for its repayment, the Commissioners will be ready to re ceive their applications, and to make the advances, if they have it in their power, and, if not, a new appli cation may be made to Parliament to enable them to do so ; and if similar advantages can be shown to follow therefrom, we doubt not that a similar sanction will be given to the advance. Each case must stand or fall by its own intrinsic merits. Again, there is no additional charge on the Exche quer occasioned thereby. It is simply a different mode of application of a sum that was intended to be devoted to the relief of Irish distress, to the promo tion of Irish industry, and the development of Irish resources. In 'Ate of being expended in the recla mation of waste lands, it is to be applied, together with an equal sum provided by the companies, in the actual construction of earth-works and brick-works on the lines by instalments, the second instalment not to be paid until full proof is afforded that the first and a similar sum paid by the company is properly expended. The debate was in many respects a very satisfac tory one. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, although he admitted the grave aspect of affairs, and that the panic that had set in was not utterly and altogether without foundation, gave his decided opinion " that the apprehensions went far beyond any measure of caution or prudence." He announced also a decided improvement in the condition of the Bank of England ; that her returns showed a diminution of her liabilities and an increase in her securities, and that he had that morning heard from the Go vernor that the Bank had on two days during the last week been enabled to give additional facilities to the money market ; so that he felt himself justified in announcing that the extreme pressure of the last fortnight might be said to be at an end. This is, in deed, a consolatory statement, coming from such a quarter, and we doubt not its good effects will be manifested in an universal activity in commercia affairs.

Equestrian Feats every night, THIS EVENING, FOURTH WEEK OF THE SUCCESSFUL The Bill for the reclamation of the waste lands has been postponed for the present. We regret this ne cessity; we believe that there is no single measure so well calculated to benefit our sister kingdom, or which would yield a more ample return for the ne cessary outlay. The Government, however, decided to abandon the compulsory clauses of the Bill, and in doing so abandoned a great portion of that which made it practically available in the parts of the country where its operation would be most useful. They found great difficulty in framing a Bill that could be made to work efficiently this year, and they consequently gave it up, we trust, only, for the present session. One-half of the million intended to be applied to that purpose has been added to the. fund for the improvement of landed estates in Ireland. The remaining 500,000/. remains available for the purposes of relief works, or any other mode of encouraging private enterprise in that country. The reduction of the number of persons em cloyed on the public works from 734000, the number employed in the month of March, to 284,000, or little more than uns third of the number, so occupied after this day, is also satis- esu u m sefu o l f 5 4 3,0001. last y ea r vo t e d f o r the p factory.

O ur opinions on this subject been clearly and distinctly expressed ; we are convinced that until a thorough change is effected the industry of the country will Le liable to become paralysed, and its com mercial operations ect must be useful and checked and impeded. Eve ry discussi on on the sub- j, tend to the advancement of truth and the exposure of the faults of the present system. _____ In our remarks of yesterday upon Mr. Ruste s mo tion, relative to naval architecture, we objected to the sweeping nature of the condemnation passed by Mr. Huai and others upon the expenditure we have in curred in endeavouring to improve •ur system of ship-building; and we indicated that where-reasonable experiments have and ought to be made, with the view of rendering our ships of war more efficient for their every purpose, it is puerile to denounce the ex. penses thus incurred as " wasteful," seeing it is in the nature of things, and indeed is implied in the word " experiment" itself; that the results are consi dered doubtful until the necessary trials have been completed. We showed also, that in considering the amount of money spent in the prosecution of different experiments, we should not only place on the credit side certain benefi!s which have undoubtedly been obtained, but likewise the advantages derivable from the negative knowledge which we may be said to have acquired at the same time. Upon the other hand, it is manifest from what has transpired, that a sufficient regard to economy, under this important head of national expenditure, has not been observed by former administrations, of which the presentßoard of Admiralty evidenced their conviction by appointing a Committee of Reference. In forming this Committee, composed of some of the most eminent members of the late School of Naval Architecture, the object of the Admi ralty was and is, by a preliminary investigation, con ducted by scientific men, into the merits of every new plan, to impose a check upon the late expensive system of ship-building. The benefit to accrue to the public from the services of this Committee re mains to be seen." It is evidently a move in the right direction. It imposes a species of control upon the Surveyor of the Navy, Sir W. Srmosns, against whose excessive influence in the construction of our ships for the last fifteen years the public has heard so much. A dead set was made at this public officer by Mr. HUME and others in the recent debate, an attack in'. which Sir C. NAPIER himself most honourably refused to participate. The gallant Commodore re pudiated the personal character ;which was infused by many into the discussion, and confined his stric tures to the system which has hitherto regulated the building of " our men-of-war. There certainly are very discordant opinions as to the merits of some of the ships which have been built from the lines drawn by Sir W. SYMONDS. Upon a review of the different facts elicited we may deduce, first, that in the construction of ships of the smaller class Sir W. SYMONDS may be said to have gained an almost unanimous approval, whilst in that of the larger his .aiecess is very equivocal; and we think it not impro bable that his failures may be in a great measure attributable to his having been indifferent to the advice tendered to him years ago by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, to whom he was indebted for his appoint ment. The Right Hon. Baronet gave the purport of that advice on Thursday night in the following worth " A person introducing a new theory under such circum stances as those to which he was alluding was under the disadvantage of being difficult to be convinced of any faults which might appear in carrying it out, and he therefore ad vised Sir W. Symonds to apply his attention to the objections which might be made to his ships, for he was satisfied that there was much wisdom in giving consideration to such ob servations, as calculated to remove any disadvantages result ing from the adoption of such theory." Every ship of war should sail well, and be capable of being fought advantageously in all weathers. These are two essential properties. In the former respect, Sir W. SYMONDS' vessels are, generally speaking, entitled to considerable merit. Except in rough weather, and particularly when called upon to breast a head sea, they sail admirably. But this ex ception is of the gravest character, for, from the manner in which they are represented to roll and pitch under the above circumstances, it is clear that we should at times be liable to engage an enemy under great disadvantages, from our being unable to fire with precision, or to keep the lower ports open. This seems to be the chief defect alleged against the Surveyor's ships by Sir C. NAPIER, and it certainly is one from which every effort should be made to free our present and future men-of-war. The question of stowage, though of considerable importance, is not now-a-days so much so as it was formerly, seeing that, by the introduction of steam, the supplies to our squadrons can be furnished with a speed and accuracy unknown to our ances tors. Vessels built of iron are excellent for packet service. Their bottoms, liable to become fouled, are easily cleared in tidal harbours, but with iron war-steamers the case is different; they are constantly requiring to be docked. Again, in action, iron steamers are easily destroyed, which, both in point of safety, expense, and especially for the great end of all, victory, renders the substitution of iron for wood far less efficient for warlike pur poses, and exceedingly dangerous. We cannot con clude these remarks without suggesting whether, considering the extent of the duties incidental to the office of the Surveyor to the Navy, the prejudices w hien every titan is liable to entertain in favour of his own system, and the jealousies, heartburnings, and misgivings to which their almost inevitable indulgence naturally gives:rise, the Surveyor should not be prohibited from submitting any drawings of his own for the building of ships and vessels. With this restriction he would be enabled to take a more impartial view of the merits of the different plans of competing architects, and being thus, to a certain extent, practically divested of prejudice, he might be found a tnore valuable assistant to the Lords of the Admiralty, on whose fiat alone the construction of ships should continue, as now, to be ultimately de pendent. charges, the process of expropriation against the company cannot commence for three years, and the process itself would occupy another year ; so that the rigorous system would cause the loss of four years. Are we not already suf ficientiv behind other nations ? As regards the company from Lyons to Avignon, the same argument presents itself with even greater force. The company of the Paris and Lyons line has commenced its works not only from Paris to Tonnerre, a distai.ce of 200 kilometres, but also on some other points. The company of the Lyons and Avignon line has not given a single blow with, a pickaxe. The only hold there is on it, if rigorous measures be adopted, is in its cau tion-money, which is 10,000,000 f. But it is certain that the temptation of a subsidy of 10,000,000 f., arising from the confiscation of the caution-money of the present com pany, would not determine the formation of a new com patty under present circumstances. It may even be supposed that so long as the embranchnaent to Grenoble (which will cost 40,000,000 f., and for which the least advantageous of all the directions has been adopted) shall remain annexed to the principal line, it will be impossible to find any substan tial company to undertake it. Thus the line from Lyons to Avignon would be indefinitely adjourned. Yet it is a line of vast importance. The extreme dearness of grain at pre sent seems to have come expressly to demonstrate its utility. If communication by railway had existed between Lyons and Marseilles, the population of Lyons, and ef all the country which has received the corn of the Black Sea through that city, would have paid from 6f. to 7f. per hectolitre less. It is from this point of view that political men ought to judge the railway question, and particularly the two railways between Paris and Avignon. If the Government does no thing, or announces the intention to do nothing, we are threatened with the breaking up of the two companies. This would be onerous to the shareholders, but less onerous than the pure and simple maintenance of the conditions of the adjudication ; and, what is important —what ought to decide the conviction of the Government and the Chambers is, that the consequence would be a cessation of the works, which would be doubly disadvantageous to the public inte rest. First, it would be the delay to an unfixed periol of the most important line of railway that it is possible to esta blish in France, that of the greatest traffic in Europe. be tween the Mediterranean and the Channel or the North Sea, that of the most important interior traffic. Secondly, it would be the closing of works which must offer immense re sources to the necessitous populations. Deduction made of the cost of the land, it would be a capital of 400,000,000 f, which would be almost entirely disbursed in labour. To the public powers anxious for the maintenance of order, and de sirous to assure the existence of the people, it is a piece of good fortune which cannot be allowed to escape. To relieve the misery of the people the Minister of the Interior pre sented, and the Chainissts voted with universal acclamations, two bills for creating work to the amount of 3-2,000,000 t. in all. What would be thought if, the day after the vote of these laws, a renunciation were made of enterprises causing an outlay of 400,000,000 f. ? In this point of view, which under present circumstances is deserving of serious consi deration, the two enterprises which we now signalize are not the only ones to which regard should be had. All those for which capitals have been united and companies constituted merit that efforts be made to prevent their die organitatkn." The Union iWonarchique, the organ of the Parti prefre, is endeavouring to:excite a persecution against the Jews, more particularly those of Palestine, by publishing a pretended letter from Beyrout, reviving the old calumny against them of murdering a Chris tian at the celebration of their Passover. We hope that M. CREMIEUX and the other French Hebrews will take measures to trace these falsehoods to their source. It is worthy of observation that these Jesuit revivers of exploded calumnies are the persons who complain that the University deprives them of the liberty of instruction—a false accusation be it re membered—yet still it is well that those who join in the cry shoull know the species of instruction which these learned and most Christian men demand liberty to impart to their pupils.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The " progressive Conservatives," if we may judge from the language of their organ, have completely thrown off their allegiance to M. GUSZOT. The at tacks of La Presse on the Ministry are more unceas ing and more bitter than those even of the Nationa ittrelf. In the Presse of Thursday we find the follow ing bill of indictment against the Ministry : " The Ministry has existed for seven years, and not one session has been signalised by any of those able measures which alleviate the position of the tax-payers without dimi nishing the public revenue. Twenty departments suffer from the unequal division of the taxes, and impatient]) wait for the more equal partition that has. been so long promised them. The measure concerning the cadastre (registry of lands) is yet to be presented I The Pension Bill, badly con teived at first, has gone on from report to repoit ; the Sugar Bill has to be remodelled; the reduction in the price of salt will not take place; the Bill on the liberty of instruction is still only a promise of the charte:r ; postal reform is threat ened with the fate of electoral reform ; the Ministry which fund it inopportune in 1841, 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845, will find it still more co in 1847. There was only one measure which could ensure the execution of railways; it was that which should adjudge the works to private industry, and re serve the working of the lines to the State. But this is pre cisely the only one which was altogether avoided; all the most false, most complicated, most contradictory systems have been engaged in ; at one time they were all amalga mated together, and at another o pp ose d to one another. All is a chaos! a perfect Tower of Babel! Now, too, they do not know how to get out of the scrape, and aid the companies of which the shareholders refuse to pay up the legal calls. They dare not restore the caution-money, and dare not confiscate it. They do not, in fact, know what to do; they are wait ing until the evil be sufficiently aggravated so as to spare them the trouble of ,eeking for an efficacious remedy." LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.

The Share Market has participated in the rise in Cowes, and buyers having more confidence, prices have rallied, in some instances, considerably. The following are a few of the principal sales of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. La mond and Co.:— Manchester and Southampton .£0 15 6 Louvain ala Sambre 1 1 0 Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire .... 0 9 6 Shrewsbury and Birmingham (A) 3 14 0 Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock ll7 0 South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 7 6 West Riding Union Reading, Guildford, and Reigate. North Staffordshire Great Northern Buckinghamshire „, 5 6 0 Eastern Counties, York Extension ... 5 8 0 South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 4 18 0 North British, Extension 0 19 6 The debate in the House of Commons last evening upon the present condition of the money market, raised upon the proposed vote for Irish railway extension, has been read with very deep attention in all City circles this morning. Those who have most cavilled at the measures adopted by the Court of Directors of the Bank of England, now are more quiescent in their complaining. Notwith standing some show of complaint was made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the conduct of the Directors of the Balk of England, the monetary and mercantile interests do net blame them for delay in putting on the screw until imperative necessity called :or it. Had it been done earlier, the prospects of any large supplies of flour or grain from the United States would have been much damaged. As to the probable effect upon our Money Market, by the very generally received opinion that it fractional part of the masses of gold and silver in Ruisia ,is to be laid out in our funds, a definite opinion for future reference can scarcely be formed; but there must be some relief afforded. The Bank is certainly better able to accommodate its customers, because last week its total liabilities were reduced by 1,295,185/. The bullion was not much re duced, and the circulation was lessened, an object which the directors have for some time been striving to accom plish. The worst feature is the great reduction in the other securities, showing the diminished accommodation to the trading community, but which we hope may soon be reversed.

Lord Sr kNLET expressed a fear that the operation of the Poor-law (Ireland) Bill would b e to give a power to the tenant, when rated at the nett rent, to charge his landlord a poundage on the gross rent. He did not approve of interfering in this way between landlord and tenant. The Marquis of WESTMEATH gave notice that he should move the insertion of a clauie in this Bill to facilitate proceedings in the Master's Office, by al lowing evidence to be given rind voce, instead of by affidavit. On the motion of the Earl of EGLTNTON, a Select Committee was appointed to take into consideration the existing laws and regulations which relate to the election of Representative Peers for Scotland. Their Lordships adjourned shortly after Six o'clock. The Commons met at Four. Mr. FEa&AND complained that no measure for the amendment of the Poor-law had been introduced RUSSIAN FINANCE. The subst ance of the following important ukase of his Imperial Majesty the Autocrat or All the Russias ap peared in our paper of yesterday:— " By command of his Imperial Majesty, the Directing Senate heard the report of the Minister of Finance of the Ist of April, under No. 2,035, in which he presents for due publication a minute confirmed by his Imperial Majesty of the 31st of March last, containing the opinion of the Council of the,Empire to the following effect : The Council of the Empire in the department of eco nomy and in general assembly, having examined the tati-rnent of the Alini.ter of Finance relative to the laying aside, out of the bullion capital of the department of credit billet., of a sum of 30,000,000 of silver rubles for the purchase of public securities, and acknowledging for its own part the utility of this step, because it ap pears a convenient and promising means of extracting out of the immense bullion-fund (more than 14,000,000 of silver rubles, or nearly 20,000,000/. sterling), hitherto dormant, important advantages for the empire, foresees no obstacle to the adoption of it, on this sole condition— that the said advantages mast be applied exclusively to the extinction of the various debts of the empire. " From this point of view the measure offers the fol lowing results:— " 1, That the bullion capital, in its fixed amount, is in no respect diminished, but only a portion of the coin in it replaced by securities equally solid and valuable, and which moreover bring in a constant income, and enjoy universal credit through Europe. " 2. The quantity of coin of our bullion capital, after setting aside the part appropriated to the purchase of securities, is still so enormous, that, judging by our ex banks, it cannot but be d p e c e ri m en ed ce m , u ;a ffi l e nthtattorotfhefouninterrupte d conversion of the billets de credit ; but even should a necessity arise for the increase or the quantity of coin in the bullion market, then the aforesaid securities offer thereto every con venience, by the ready sale of the same for cash. "3. The use of the advantages which may accrue from such an operation, being exclusively applicable to the extinction of the debts of the empire, promises to the Government new means for the satisfaction of its engagements, and consequently a corresponding alle viation of the national burdens. Considering these things, the Council of the Empire has given its opinion as follows: " From the separate capital fixed by the 7th and 17th paragraphs of the Imperial manifesto of the Ist of June, 1843, for the conversion of the billets de credit into cash, a sum should be set apart to the extent of 30,000,000 of silver rubles for the gradual purchase of public securities, Russian and foreign, here and abroad. " 2. These securities, as they are bought, are to be reckoned as belonging to the said capital at the value paid for them, and are to be preserved together with the ready money. " 3. The interest or rentes of these funds, accruing from these securities, and, in fine, all the profits of the operation, should be devoted to the extinction of the foreit_n and interminable debts of the empire ; but, in the event of the purchased secarities falling 2 or 3 per cent. below the price at which they were purchased, a portion of the said dividends or rentes is to be reckoned to the account of the bullion capital, till it equals the money laid out, using for the extinction of the debts of the empire only the residue. " 4. If, for the conversion of the billets de credit, a necessity should be foreseen for the increase of the quantity of coin, then the purchased securities are to be immediately converted into cash by sales of the pur chased funds on the exchanges of Europe. " 5. But if, at the sale of any part of these securities or the re&mptiou of them by drawing out, a smaller sum should be realised than that at which they were estimated, then the deficiency is to be made good from the accruing dividends, and, if these be insufficient, out of the Imperial Treasury. " Signed, for the President of the Council, " COUNT SCWASCiIOFF. " The original signed by his Imperial Majesty. " St. Petersburgh, March 31, 1847." DREADFUL FIRE AT DINS, NORFOLIC.—TEN HOUSES BRRNRD DOWN. ATTLYBOROUGIi, APRIL 29. Between the hours of one and two o'clock yesterday after noon, a fire of a most devastating description, involving a serious loss of property, broke out in the town of Diss, twelve miles distant, a n d so f ear f u l were its ravages that at one period the entire d es t ruct i on o f t he place was apprehended. It originated in a carpenter ' s wor kshop, in the principal or High-street, through so me o f the workpeople burning a quantity of shavings, and h the chimney-pot, it c o mmuni ca ted to the roof, which was thatched. Strenuous eff o rts w i, early fire re made by the inhabitants e to stay its progress atstage, but owing to the high th te blazing up the flue out of wind which prevailed, and the combustible character of the building, the flames travelled with astounding rapidity over the erection, and extended to a row of new houses, which ad joined the flaming property on either side. These belonged to a Mr. Dyson and Mr. Finchman, and were occupied by tradesmen. In vain were attempts made to tear off the roofs, with a view of arresting the conflagration. The flames raged from house to house, and in less than an hour after the alarm was given, no fewer than ten of them had fallen a sacrifice to the devouring element, producing, as may be conceived, the greatest consternation in the town. The en gines stationed in the neighbourhood were energetically brought into operati on , and by being worked in commanding positions, certainly had the effect of rescuing much property from destruction. For hours, however, the fl am es raged in a very alarming man ner, an d i t was only by a continual supply of water that they were kept at bay. The owners of the buildings destroyed are said to be partially insured, but the unfortunate occupiers will be great sufferer& A few days ago four large vessels sailed from Ilam burgh for New York, with 2,000 emigrants, chiefly poor Pea' Oast and workmen and their families..

The Lord Chancellor sat in the Court at Westminster to day. IN THE MATTER OF DYNELY, ♦ LUNATIC. Mr. ROMILLY applied this morning, at the sitting of the Court, for the confirment of the Master's report in this lu nacy, reporting that it would be for the benefit of the estate of the lunatic that the committee should have liberty to op pose a Bill in Parliament, introduced on behalf of the Leeds and Thi-sk Railway Company. From the statements of the Learned Gentleman, it appeared that the lunatic had the fee simple of certain property situated at Branbrook, near Leeds; that upon that property there were most valuable springs of water, which would be taken away from the lunatic's estate if the Bill introduced into Parlia- ment by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway Com pany was allowed to pass without giving his estate any compensation. In a former session of Parliament, upon the introduction of a Bill enabling the Leeds and Thirsk Railway to run a tunnel through the lunatic's property, the clause authorising the company to take the water and springs on the estate, in order to supply the town of Leeds with water was struck out, but the Bill now introduced into Par • liament was to enable them to do so. Upon an application which had been made to the Court for leave to oppose the Bill, his Lordship directed a referende to the Master, to in quire and report as to whether it would be for the benefit of the lunatic and his estate to oppose the Bill, and the Master having reported in the affirmative, the object of the present application was for the confirment of that report. The LORD CHANCELLOZ made the order. JONES V. ROSE The further argumentsiW - thisp;rllheard appeal were re sumed to-day, and occupied his Lordship the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLO s R of ENGLAND. ) THE CORPORATION OF LIVERPOOL V. NORRIS The arguments in this case occupied his Honour the Vice- Chancellor of England the whole morning. The case came before the Court upon motion to dissolve an injunction granted by his Honour ex parte, restraining the defendant Norris from erecting certain houses in Islington-street, Liverpool. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FRIDAY EVENING. TIMES.—A further Russian announcement has to-day caused excitement in the City, and a rise of 1 per cent. in the funds.. According to an ukase, a translation of which will be found in another column, 30,000,000 of silver roubles, out of 114,000,000 which have accumulated as the basis of the Russian paper circulation, are allotted for " the gradual purchase of public securities, Russian and foreign." Of th is amount, which may be roughly stated at 4,75 0 , 0001 . ste rlin g , about 2,000,000/. has already been employed in the recent ar rangement with the Bank of France; about 750,000/ sup posed to be destined for the Dutch and other continental markets, where, indeed, it has probably already been in vested ; and, as it is not supposed that anything beyond the accumulating interest will be appropriated to the purchase of Russian stock, the remaining 2,000,0001., it is assumed, w ill be laid out in the English funds. Anticipations of some develop ment of this kind have been entertained, more or less, ever since the affair with the Bank of France, and hence while it has for some time produced the advantage of lessening the amount of gambling, by deterring men from mere speculative sales, it has now been followed only by a moderate rise of prices. Doubts are also entertained whether the arrangements fur such purchases as may have been determined upon have not already been concluded, since it seems highly improbable that the notice would be allowed to produce its effect di rectly in the face of the intended operation. The bearings of the measure we have already pointed out, in alluding to that portion of it which has already been completed in• France. That it will afford present relief cannot be ques tioned; but it must be remembered that the terms upon which this relief is obtained (supposing a purchase of English stock to the value of 2,000,0001.) consist of an annual pay ment to Russia of about 70,0001., with the certainty that, if ever this payment be extinguised, it will only be by buying the stock back at a greatly advanced price, or by paying it off at the rate of 1001. for every UM now received. Severe as this is, however, it might be looked upon without dismay if it were accompanied by the certainty, or even by the pro bability, that henceforth the proceedings by which it has been necessitated will be arrested, and that, having paid this forfeit fur our past improvidence, we shall now pursue a wiser course. Unfortunately, however, this is not the case, since there are no signs but that it will at once give a new impetus to the reckless expenditure out of which it has had its origin. Consols opened this morning at 86i to a for money and 86a to i for the account, and upon the Russian ukase becoming known a sudden demand for all descriptions of stock took place, causing an advance of more than 1 per cent., the quotations reaching 87a for money and 87i for time. Throughout the day a severe pressure for money was main tained (6 per cent. being currently paid on Government securities), and this produced a reaction, during which Consols were quoted 87 for money. Before the close of business, however, purchases once more gave firmness to the market, and the last prices were 87* to 1 j for money, and 87i for the account. POST.— The English securities have to-day been done at materially better prices. We mentioned several days ago that the metallic resources of the Bank of England were likely to be recruited by the receipt of a supply of gold from Russia, a country which has of late years been greatly ad vancing in its mining operations, and which has that meta l, therefore, in considerable abundance. It transp ired this morning that intelligence had been received from St. Peters burgh announcing that the Emperor Nicholas had, by a ukase, dated the 12th instant, determined to invest in the Russian and foreign funds 30,000,000 of silver roubles in specie, a sum equal to about 4,600,000/. sterling. Consol, which had opened at 8636 for account, advanced, upon the strength of this information, to 87% ' the announce ment in question being coupled with the intima tion that it was expected the greater portion of the sum named would be invested in the English funds, and that the investment was intended to be one of a permanent nature. On inquiry, we find that in this arrangement the operation lately effected with the Bank of France is supposed_to have been included, and that some ' large purchases on Russian account have been wade of con. tinental securitius, so that the amount of stock that may be secured in the funds of this country will perhaps be much less than has been anticipated. We consider, indeed, that the object of the ukase has already been pretty fully accom plished. The supposition that such must have have been the case is strengthened by the knowledge that Messrs. Baring and Co. have of late been drawing largely on the northern cities, and it is taken for granted that it is through the me dium of that eminent house the portion of the business, whatever it may be, appertaining to this country, has been or will be conducted. It has been said for some time past that, since the failure of the house of Harman and Co., the former agents of the Russian Government, an account had been opened with the Bank of England. and what business is now done on Russian account is, no doubt, to a certain ex tent., with a view to the convenience of the institution. A deputation of gentlemen from Liverpool and Manchester had yesterday, as we learn, an interview with Lord John Russell, on the subject of the excessive scarcity of money. It is understood as the result, that Government, through the Bank of England, undertake to do all they can for the relief of the manufacturing and trading interests generally during the prevailing pressure, and that the deputation returned last night more satisfied. The exchanges on the continental cities were much better to-day. The next accounts from the United States are expected to advise a sensible advance in the rate at New York on England. It will, in the opinion of the merchants, probably be from 5 to 6 per cent. premium. Orders may also be reasonably looked for, because, including what has been carried out by the numerous emigrants pro ceeding to America, the remittances to that country cannot have been to the extent of less than nine millions steriing. An advance in the prices of European goods must be the natural consequence, and there can, it is argued, be little question that there must be a corresponding demand for Eng lish goods. Much is calculated upon in this respect. There was to-day a meeting of commercial men of the Hall of Commerce, the object of which wa s un d erstood to be an appeal to Parliament, calling for a mitigation of the pro visions of the present banking law. The point that will be chiefly contended for is propably an extension of the limi tation of the Bank of England to an issue of notes from a omsuthat: a mount of 14,0 00 , 0001 . to something like 18,000,0001 held to be more compatible with th e l arge commercial in terests at stake.
