Elsterday the Earl of DERBY, in the course of his really remarkable address to the House of Lords—ostensibly upon the Income Tax, but virtually upon the existing Situation came down with one energetic and sledge-hammer blow upon ourselves. Unexpected as the blow was, and formidable as any Llow dealt by one so puissant in Debate and so authoritative in Posi tion could hardly fail to be, we dare say it may I be survived. The Noble Earl had beet recently embarrassed, it will be remembered, by taunts violently directed against his Party through that Chink in its Armour —the semi-recognised and demi-luthentic weekly organ of her MAJESTY S Opposition. Lord DERBY, not unreasonably, detcrtnines, therefore, to avail himself of the very earliest opportunity for retaliation. He resclves—acting upon an old and time-honoured plan—to carry the war, if possible, at once into the Enemy's Camp. To accomplish which pur pose, however, he obeys in the present instance, we cannot but think (to say the very least of it), a most eccentric inspiration. Reaelved, as we have intimated, upon carrying the war without any more ado forthwith into the Enemy's Camp --What, after all, does the Earl of DERBY actu ally decide upon to this end? What, bill - , plainly and literally, upon t eking exception to the lino of argument pursued not by any partisan newspaper, not by any recognised official organ of Lord PALMER STON' :3 Government, but by a journal of long-sus tained thoroughly established independence. Lord - 1 - )Ereiv retorts Upon those who have taunted his p arty, a s before intimated, by directing attention to earnest opinions expresser' by ourselves, by a l,oir.ted reference to the views advanced in The S ent —au organ too Noble E ar l described last night is the House of Lords as cc a nem__ . pap r which warmly supports th e Noble Viv:atnif, and —ass , a t; his claim to the confidence Aye, m y Lord DERBY—'gut of the country;' n derst tndine• hot-, upon what Plea, upon what u upon what clearly indicated stipulations ? Why, obviously and notoriously as was indicated by the very views of ours which wore referred ti yester day in the Upper House by the distinguished Leader of her MAJESTY'S Opposition —llp ti'e not Simply implied, but rather upon the distinctly defined c on diti on that L or d Pt 'L and explicit'y MERSTON prove himself to be indeed worthy of that confidence by a manly enunciation betimes of the g i l idi n g princiviPg, pirticWarly in regard to our Home Policy, which are intended .1, ac!tt , -- -itte and regulate the movements of the NoLle Viscount's Government. In regard to his Foreign Policy we need no explanation whatever. Its character and its tendencies have been illus trated, beyond the shadow of the shade of any misconception, by a public course of now half a century's duration. A career which has now for many years been the glory and the boast of Eng land. A career already, as the world recognises, historically illustrious. A career which long since extorted a memorable panegyric from a great living rival and contemporary. One which has not only won for the present Premier the enviable title of "THE BRITISH MINISTER," but which received upon a notable occurrence the for mal, deliberate, and enthusiastic approval of Parliament, and which has now at length, in the fullness of time, and at a crisis of extraordinary emergency, left the British Minister par excellence without one single competitor in popularity among the ranks of living English Statesmen. It is solely in regard to his views and intentions as to our Homo Policy that we are solicitous, as we intimated yesterday, to have a formal Political Manifesto from the hand of Lord PAL3IERSTION. And for thus untentionally but authoritatively enforcing this demand we esteem ourselves in the present instance as it were under a personal obligation to the Noble Earl the Leader of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Mr. COBDEN has done his best to befool the country, but it is to be hoped the country can well look to itself. He has sent down an issue to be tried at the hustings and the polling booth, which the Cabinet had settled satisfactorily, and, no thanks to him, if that too rare opportunity— a GENERAL ELECTION—be not thrown away upon the savage YETI, and the most savage of the semi-barbarian Chinese. It will require all the efforts of all hearty Liberals to prevent the great septennial chance from being wasted about what, only in the most indirect manner, concerns our own domestic progress. The last Parliament was elected to decide an issue already settled, Prctec tion—that was almost entirely a waste election ; as Parliament for the country it accomplished nothing but the passing of a few bills, which had been waiting some time, which their pareats could not reject, and which their foster-parents thought it well to get the credit of. Let electors take care that they be not again taken in. If it were needful to sacrifice everything to bury Protec tion, it is not necessary to waste an election on a Chinese War—DISRAELI and Lard JOHN have at last acknowledged that practically that business is now settled ; that the next Parliament will have little to do with it ; that in a word, if COBDEN wero Prime Minister, ho must fight i out. Mr. COBDEN tells us the Ministerial Programme is PALMERSTON—no Reform—and a Chinese War. We care not what programme Manchester chooses to assign to the Ministry ; no man better knows than Mr. COBDEN, that the country can, if it be only awake, put what it pleases into a Ministerial programme. He has seen the Corn Laws repealed by the Parliament elected t) maintain them, and buried by another elected to revive them. Tire Electors of England CAN make a REFORM PARLIA MENT of one chosen to reverse a COBDEN crotchet on the Chinese War. Will they do it 4 Will they allow themselves to be stultified by cotton spin ners and Peace Society men ? We do not know, however, yet, that we are not unjust to cotton spinners. If they stand by those amongst them who first uttered their voice on receiving the news of the COBDEN-GIBSON triumph, they will demon strate plainly that cotton spinners do not surren der English common sense to the men of crotchets. Our readers will see that the two great classes who need political reform have spoken out. The represented and unrepresented have each made their demand. The represented want a free vote, and the unrepresented a place on the register. The BALLOT and the SUFFRAGE ; these are the words which must not be forgotten on the hust ings. There is no fear whatever about Lord PALMERSTON and China. The Premier is safe enough, and wo aro glad he is. The penitents all over the country loudly proclaim that PALMER STON cannot be ejected. Reformers are free, there fore, to fight their own battle. They cannot en danger the Government, but they can put reform into the Ministerial programme. We are confident that IF the country pronounced for the Ballot and Household Suffrage, or any other suffrage, that PALMERSTON would carry what they asked. He is a Conservative, they say, at heart. We believe it. We believe the same of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Lord JonN, except for party purposes, would not like to move an inch beyond the Reform B:11, and no Tory would care to repeal it. Neither would Lord PALMERSTON. But as surely as Lord PALMERSTON sits on the Treasury benches, so surely would he, if Mr. HATTER told him, after the elections, that three-fourths of the constitu encies had voted for the Ballot and the Suffrage, himself initiate both, or, it may be, put them in the QUEEN'S Speech. It is the fault of Reformers themselves if Lord PALMERSTON be not a Reformer in the next Parliament. No man amongst the Premier class objects less to reform,—it is the bother of it he dislikes, and he cares nothing about it. Ho would infinitely rather reform than go over, he and his, to the Opposition benches. Who imagines that Lord PALMERSTON would quit the Treasury benches from aversion to reform 1 He is of too * genial a temperament, In fact, to go out upon any thing that a majority of his countrymen were eager to have. Ho would rather, like all the rest, let reform alone, but he would much rather take it up thail hand it over to some one else, or be at variance w:th. the bulk of the people. We have now, then, in our hands just the very in strument to put Lord PALMERSTON right, and we have in him a Premier who would give us quite as good a Reform Bill as the Vienna Lord, and per haps a bettir one. It is just now remitted to us to see, ne quid detrimenti respublica capeat, and if Lord PALMERSTON do not turn reformer, we may justly exclaim, nos, nos—populi destont43 ! The commonwealth is in our handy, and it will be our fault, ours alone, if we use not our power. Reformers hare been lulled to sleep by coalition Ministers, and divided by war. There is nothing now to excuse inattention. A war in China can be no pretext for their not going heart and soul into reform. Seven weary years may await them, if they demand not, now, shorter parliaments ; electoral serfdom at intermediate elections, and the next general election, if they do not insist on the Ballot; and a relatively diminished constit uency, if they do not require an extended frac chige- The House of Commons makes Ministers, but the people makes the House. It is uselees whining and moaning to HirtcueEs. when our owil shoulders t) the wheel is all that is wanted. Lot auy one but take that notable and impartial Red 1;007 ', " Doo's Eloetoral Fa cti"—lot him just turn to Cle proportion of votora to the population, and notice the miserable fraction of the population entitled to a vote ; let aim glance over the par. - graphs innumerable informing whose " influence" predominates in the boroughs —into the counties l ie nee ds hardly to trouble himself to look ltt j i i in a dd to this all he remembers of bribery and corruption in 1852, and, then, let him ask whe ther Reformers can, with decency, be content to THE SUN, LONDON, TLTESDAY EVENING, MAiICII 17, 1851: leave our electoral laws and constituencies as they are. We do hope that Liberals will not be shame faced or dilatory. Addresses already show that candidates are sensible of the rights of electors to free voting, and of non-electors to the suffrage. These are the fundamental points. They are to all the rest what the Repeal of the Corn-la ws was to all other monopolies. Carry the BALLOT, indeed, and you will carry all the rest. Untie the voters' hands, and they will unfetter the non electors' hands—and both will then demand, at least, Triennial Parliaments. Church Rates, Jewish disabilities, army reform, and we know not what reforms, will follow. The Ballot is the way to all. If we could pin a member to only one thing, we would have his word of honour, that, life and limb permitting, he would be in his place and vote for THE BALLOT. Everything in the latest intelligence from China confirms us in our often-expressed convic tion as to the absolute necessity of at once strengthening our forces at Canton, and confront ing our Asiatic assailants with all the might and energy of a great military and maritime expedi tion worthy of sustaining at all hazards the glory of our imperial reputation. It is, we repeat, in the interests of prudence, of economy, of huma nity, that we demand these prompt and vigorous warlike demonstrations against the Chinese. The violaters for fifteen years of the solemnly-ratified Treaty of Nankin, the insolent and audacious in sulters of the National Flag, the murderers of the English civilians on board the Thistle, the poisoners of the British residents at Hong Kong, the miscreants setting a price of so many taels and candarins upon the head of every Englishman, and thereby holding out gn infamous bribe, cal culated to instigate most effectually the very scum of the Chinese mob to assassination—surely barbarions such as these demand at our hands the retort of an instant and overwhelming retribra tion. Particularly is this rendered necessary when it is observed, in regard to these same per fectly Harmless and wholly Innocent and altoge ther most Exemplary Chinese—the model nation mawkishly eulogised by Mr. RICHARD COB DEN and beslavered with preposterous pane gyrics by my Lord DERBY—(Doves though they be 1 and Planters of Olive ! and Dealers in Rosc-water Diplomacy Fighters with Feathers and Palters with Sugar-plums !)—actually are employing all this, while every bloodthirsty con trivance within reach of the most lawless despot ism upon the Earth's surface, with a view to the destruction not merely of the little band of armed Englishmen in the Chinese waters, but also of the unarmed British residents at Victoria and elsewhere, including amongst their number both women and children. Prudence, humanity, and justice alike call for vengeance, instant and signal vengeance, upon these miscreant Chinese ! Upon the poisoners of Hong Kong ! Upon the cut-throats of the Thistle ! OF on the incendiaries of our factories, and the robbers of our merchan dise ! Upon the savage emissary of the Celestial Emperor, who has held out the temptation of bloodnroaey to the assassins of Englishmen According to the news just received by the Overland Mail from China, it is satisfactory to know that already retributive measures had been adopted at Hong Kong. ALLUM, the principal baker of the colony, together with two or three of his chief accomplices in the crime, having been summarily tried before a council-of-war fcr mixing arsenic in the bread supplied to the Par sees, and the Moormen, and the British residents indiscriminately ! Convicted of which atrocity, it appears that these wretched men were at once most deservedly led forth to execution. Among the Cantonese again, and upon the waters of the Estuary leading to the City, mea sures no less prompt and vigorous seem to have been meanwhile energetically carried out by the maritime forces under Admiral Sir MICHAEL SEY MOUR. A course of proceeding all the more ad visable under the circumstances—seeing that Mr. COBDEN'S Model "Sucking Doves" the Chinese, have been there most deliberately and systcmat:- sally resorting to every moans within their reach to obstruct the British forces as much as possible, and to do as much damage as they could by any means contrive to do, to British lives and British property. Sinking junks in the narrow channels wherever they could find the opportunity for so doing, to the end that our progress up the Pearl River might be retarded. Committing arson wherever a torch could be set to a British Factory. Resorting to the Drug, and the Dagger, and all the more dastardly means for secretly causing Death familiar to the hand of the Hireling Mur derer. Atrocities which have forced Admiral SEYMOUR, even with the restricted powers at his disposal, to the most energetic and resolute mea sures of retaliation. Insomuch, that while pru dently withdrawing his men from the untenable positions at the Dutch Folly, and the Bird's-Nest Fort, and the Factory Gardens, retiring to the Macao Passage, and retaining possession solely of the Teetotuna Fort—the British Admi ral had contrived to set fire to the suburbs at Shameen Fort, and to bombard the city with the Niger, the Encounter, and the Barracouba. The rather remarkable "brush," which is spoken of in our advices from Bombay, as having taken place between the Samson and an enormous mandarin fleet of no less than 'l5O war junks—while it reminds us, of GULL/YER swimming among the fleet of the Lilliputians—in dicates plainly enough, surely, what might be accomplished oft-hand by an adequate force of British men-of-war, aided by a corresponding military armament I Let a warlike expedition, worthy of England, be forthwith despatched against the Cantonese, and there will soon be an end of this deplorable bloodshed and of these lamentable conflagrations. Here, as in many other instances, wherein war is declared—energy is humanity, and daring prudence I For this rational prudence and genuine humanity—for this vigourand determination—England looks with confidence to the Cabinet of Lord PALMERSTON. The Peace-at-any-Price Meeting held yesterday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, was, all things considered, one of the most indecorous, if it wore not actually one of the most despicable, demonstra tions within our remembrance. It will tend, we feel perfectly satisfied, to confirm in the most sig nal manner possible, the now notorious unpopu larity of Mr. COBDEN—the present Member fox the West Riding of Yorkshire. It will effect, no less signally, we fear, what we regrot a vast deal more than the final bursting up of the swollen bladder of the demagogic reputation of the Great Political Bagman—destroying, we mean to all appearance, the last vestige of any hope we might still have cherished, as to the once auspiciously rising Political Fame of the gifted Resurrectionist of the Nineveh Antiquities. Alas ! after the melancholy exhibition made by Mr. LAYARD last evening, on the platform of Freemasons' Hall— " Farewell, a long Farewell" to the Parliamen tary repute of a Young Politician in whose re gard we formerly, and we must say most foolishly eatertained, the very highest, and the most elevating anticipations ! The wretchedly unpopular and unpatriotic sentiments enunciated yesterday by Mr. LAYARD upon the occasion of this Packed Conclave of Brummagem Philanthrc pists, may be regarded, we conceive, as virtually ringing the knell of the legislative life of the pre sent Member for Aylesbury ! A blunder all this on his part, not so much matter perhaps for our astonishment, when it is borne in mind how a veteran representative of the people like Mr. ROEBUCK—appropriately enough the Chairman of yesterday's proceedings has stumbled, and bungled, and floundered over to the wrong side in the midst of the Oratorical Skrimmage of the Chinese Controversy ! It has long since been jocularly understood among all classes of obser vers that if ever Mr. ROEBUCK really did after all take office he would so the most aptly under the name, style, and title of " The Dissenting Minis ter !" Generally, however, his dissent has been a dissent on the popular side, or, in other words, upon the Right Side : for, as JUNIUS has said so grandly and so wisely, " The People are seldom wrong in their opinions, in their sentiments, never !" But, until now, we cannot call to mind any occasion at all in his protracted political career in which Mr. ROESUCK has so erred in judg ment, as opposed at once to the earnest opinions and the conscientious sentiments of the popula tion, as he has notoriously and irremediably done in the matter of this Chinese Controversy. By his vote, and still more by his virulence in uphold ing that vote of his, be has, so to speak, set an indelible brand upon his reputation. Mr. LAYARD has done the same foolish thing, identically. Mr. COBDEN being beforehand with both them in assum ing that Tattoo of Combination which must long remain the Taboo of unpopularity. And so it comes to pass—perhaps, after all, not so very unnaturally—that these three Chieftains of the newly-organised and very mongrel Peace Party yesterday danced together, moat amicably, upon the platform of Freemason& Hall, not a War Dance of course, but a Peace Dance—a strange sort of a maudlin political saraband—amidst the deafening hubbub, the mingled cheers and hisses of a most tumultuous assemblage of lookers-on ! It ought in reason, however, to be remembered, after all, by Messrs. ROEBUCK, LAYARD, and. COBDEN, that if they have consented at last to squat under the same wigwam, and calmly smoke t )gether the Calumet of Peace, they are at last, by the People at large, fairly " smoked" themselves.! LATEST NEWS. THE FORTIFICATION OF ALESSANDRIA. The Sardinian Chamber has granted an extra ordinary credit to the Ministry of fiv3 millions for the carrying on of the fortifications of Alessandria, by the overwhelming majority of 106 votes against 14. An immense sensation has been produced by this vote, which is interpreted, by the enemies of Italy, as a demonstration of distrust, if not of hostility, towards Austria. Private letters from the Chinese Seas state that the baker at Hong Kong who bad taken the lead in a conspiracy to poison the Europeans had been arrested, tried before a Council of War legally constituted, and convicted of an attempt to poison the English Charge d'Affaires and his family. The man was condemned to death and shot, together with three of his accomplices. This emaznple had produced a deep impression on the lower classes in Hong Kong. It is said that the Treaty of Peace with Persia contains one or two articles which have not been published. There is reason to fear the Austrian Govern ment will turn a deaf ear to the well -meant coun sel of England and France, and recall Count Paar from Turin. The order has not yet been issued, hut persons who are in a position to know what is intended say that in a very few days the diplo matic relations between Sardinia and Austria will be entirely broken off. The members of the Conference on the Neucha tel question are enjoying a long vacation, and no ono can say when they will be ready to resume work. A day or two ago it was stated that a note bad been addressed by the French Government to their Minister at Berlin, to be of course communi cated to the Prussian Minister. We now learn that it was couched in rather energetic terms, the sum and substance being„ that if the King of Prussia did not make up his mind to do something the Conference would go on without his representative. M. de Hatzfeld has received the instructions which ho expected from Berlin ; they are not described as likely to bring matters to a close, though they may afford occasion for a third meeting of the Plenipotentiaries, when it is to be hoped that some thing like business will be got thipugh. The Swiss Envoy has also received additional instructions from Berne. A letter from Berne, of the 14th, states that the delay in the negotiations has pro duced a very unfavourable impression throughout most of the cantons. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. A letter from Copenhagen, of the 15th, in the Moniteur, says :—" The general treaty which has been negotiated between Denmark and the principal maritime States of Europe for the suppresion on the Sound dues was signed yesterday in this capi tal. According to the terms of this document, the clues of all kinds, to which vessels were sub jected in passing the Sound and the Belt, will bs completely done away with from the Ist of April. Denmark also engages to suppress for certain kinds of merchandise, and to materially reduce for others, the dues which she has hitherto received for transit on the canal of the Eyder and on the routes which unite the Baltic to the North Sea. The maritime States on their part engage to pay to Denmark as compensation, in one or more in stalments, an indemnity representing the average for five years of the revenue of the present Sound dues, capitalised at the rate of 4 per cent."

On the other hand, the concessions for the Red Sea route are ob tained, and no preliminary arrangements have to he made, as perfect charts and sounding exist from Suez to Kurrachee.

REINFORCEMENTS FOR CHINA FROM CEYLON.—We extract the following from the Colombo °burrer re garding the req u i s iti on o f troops from Ceylon for service in China :—" A report is current, which, however, we cannot trace to any certain source, that a despatch went to the Governor last night, ask'ng if troops froth Cey lon could be spared for China. We hope when the demand is made that the answer will be in the affirma tive. We are aware that the military authorities will have many and cogent objections to offer. There are so many d e t ac h ment ; here an d th ere t h at the duties fall heavily on t h e troops ; an d t h en t h e pearl fishery is just coming onF , if a ty nl m d e e n ta o c f hm th e e nt 3 B 7t w h owuolduldbebecasullffied went fo r the fishery in. W e have now a large and well organised police force —we have the Pioneers ; and as for the Kandians, even if any further r:sing were possible, the planters and their coolies can more than deal with them. The case is one of extremity and ought to be so dealt with. One-half of the Ceylon Rifles ought to be sent. Look at the example of Singapore. With a fiery population and disturbances only quelled, the Governor has not hesitated to run the risk of despatching the majority of the force at his dis posal."--Bombay Tirnes. GREAT STORM IN D UBLIN .--Th e F reeman states that Fridayon night and Saturday morpine Dublin was visited by a storm, which for violence and duration has not been equalled since 1849. A considerable amount of damage of a miscellaneous character was done, bn'; we did not hear of any marine disaster. At ICilmain ham gaol a distressing accident occcurred. A violent gust of wind prostrated the chimney of the governor's apartment, and the immense mass of brickwork crashed through the roof and fell into the bedroom underneath, where Mrs. Alison, the wife of the governor, happening to he at the time, suffered the most serious injuries. Drs. Tuffnell and Cusack are at present in attendance, and the position of Mrs. Aileen is stated to be very precarious. GALL IN TUR CIIANNEL.—Four MEN LOST.—BRIGII TON, March 16 . —The weather was extremely rough and boisterous in the Channel during the latter part of NA week, and particularly so on Friday night, wben the mt-lancholy los s of four men was the result. The unfortunate sufferers were the crew of the Martha, of Colcbeiter, which it seems was about fifty miles off in the Channel when she was overtaken by the gale, and the poor fellows were washed overboard and lost. The cn'y one of the crew left was a lad, about 18 years of age, and who succseded in bringing the smack safe into Shoreham harboer on Saturday afternoon, having laboured for several hours in accomplishing his perilous and extraordinary task. On reaching Shoreham he was much exhausted, Easing been without food for a long time.

ATIIENS ' March 4.—On the depart ure l a t e l y o f the Fren c h troops from the Pirwas, M. Mercier, the French Minister in Greece, having written to the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs announcing to him their embarkation, received the following reply, dated Feb. 28 : Monsieur Is Ministre—You have done me the hon our to inform me, under date of yesterday, that in ac cordance with an understanding with your colleague of England, who had, on his part, given similar instruc tions, you had just authorised the commander-in-chief of the French troops to embark, and thus to put an end to the occupation of Greece. In acknowledging the reception of your communication, I feel real pleasure in being able to unite my testimony to those generally expressed at the excellent conduct of these troops during their sojourn in Greece, and at the care which they have taken never to depart from the rules of order and discipline. By their irreproaChable conduct, by the exlmples of order and of labour which they have set in the Pirmus, and by the embellishments and public works which they have there executed, these soldiers have acquired the esteem and gratitude of the inhabi tants of that place. It is most pleasing to me to be able to affirm, Monsieur le Ministre, that the government of the King unites in the well-merited praises which are bestowed on the troops who to-day.quit the soil of Greece.

BERLIN, March 14.—The Zeii of this morning contains the text of the Note which Baron von Manteuffel addressed to the Representatives of Prussia in London, Paris, Vienna, and St. Peters burg on the occasion of the Swiss Government liberating the Royalist prisoners in the middle of last January. As it is not long I venture to give it you in extenso " Berlin, Jan. 16, 1857. " I have the satisfaction to inform you that according to official information that has reached the King's Cabinet, the Swiss Federal Assembly, in the course of yesterday and to-day, voted the unconditional liberation of the Neuchatel prisoners. The King our august master sees herein the sole condition fulfilled on which he had made his participation in meetings with respect to the future relations of the Principality of Neuchatel de pendent, and be has therefore been pleased to command me to renew the declaration that his Majesty is prepared to enter into deliberations of this nature, and also that he will therein be influenced by the same moderation and th• same conciliatory sentiments from which he is con scious of never having deviated throughout the various phases of this question. Be good enough to make this despatch known to the Cabinet at which you have the honour to represent the King our august master. " Receive the assurance, Acc., MANTEUFFEL" The fe'w words used to introduce this short de spatch to the notice of the reader state that its text will show forth how little truth there is in the va rious allegations put forward in the press as to the King having entered into any definite undertaking is connectionwith the liberation of the prisoners.

AUSTRALIA: MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was an improved appearance, and prices in most instances were rather higher. The sales were 7,000 bales, 1,500 of which were taken for export and on speculation. A statement has been issued by Messrs. Fustana and Company, of Liverpool, and Calata Brothers, of Manchester, who recently failed. From this it appears that the assets are estimated at 73,3851., while the liabilities are set down at 72,4581. A dividend of 20s. in the pound, by five half-yearly instalments, is therefore proposed. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have opened this week with a quiet appearance ; but prices are generally well maintained. The a'lvices received yesterday by the overland mail have had no effect upon the value of tea, but the market is rather flat in consequence of the largeness of the stocks and the supplies which are known to be com ing forward. There was a slight improvement yes terday in the demAnd for tallow, which, in addi tion to orders from the Continent, produced rather more firmness in the market for that article. A further slight advance has taken place in the market for silver, the dollar, by the last Mexican steamer, having been sold at ss. 0/d., which is id. per ounce more than was realised for those by the previous steamer. The accounts from New York by the steamer Asia describe the Money Market as having become rather easier, but local writers express the opinion that no decided improvement would yet take place, the commercial payments throughout March being generally of a very heavy character. The last re turn published by the City Banks showed a de crease of $635,855 in the loans and discounts, with an increase of $213,098 in the bullion. At the meeting of the London and Paris Bank, held yesterday, it was resolved, after some opposi tion, to dissolve the company. The chairman stated that the balance available for distribution would allow a return of 13s. or 14s. per share in addition to the sum of 71., exclusive of calls re turned on those shares on which the calls had 14 ot been fully paid up, and of 18s. Bd. (ss. Bd. being for interest) on those where the full amount had been subscribed. A very angry discussion took place owing to the considerable amount which had been expended in the preliminary arrangements, espe cially with regard to the 4,0001. which had been set aside as director's remuneration. Notwithstanding the large amounts of gold with drawn from the Bank of England and sent to the Continent, in addition to nearly all of the supply received from Australia, scarcely a day pas , e3 with.. out some further quantity being taken from the National Establishment for the same destination. On Saturday Dearly 100,0001. was withdrawn. Yesterday a further sum of 35,0001. was despatchedf; and it is evident, unless this efflux is checked, a very serious reduction will take place in the metallic reserve of Threadneedle street. There is a brisk inquiry for discount to-day, and the market generally presents no new feature o importance. The English Stock Market still tends downwards, and the value of the Funds appears to be gradually receding. An eighth or a quarter per cent. decline is almost daily repotted, but speculation for a fall has been confined within narrow limits. Consols for money have been 93 to 93i, and for account 93i 1, and 931 I. East India Bonds are 2s. dis count to 2s. prem. Exchequer Bills is. discount to is. prem., and the Bonds 98k. A flatter market also prevails for Foreign Stocks, but no general movement in prices can be reported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are marked 97i for money, and 97/ to 984 for account. The present quota tion for the latter is 97 1 1 -, and the 4 per Cents. are about 104. Spanish Certificates have been dealt in at 6k ; Sardinian, 91. Russian 5 per Cents. 1071. Peruvian 3 per Cents. 55. Dutch 24 per Cents. 65, and ditto 4 per Cents. 98i. Mexican Bonds are 23} I. The payment of the following dividends has been advertised :—On Danish 3 per Cents., Brazilian 5 per Cents., Peruvian 3 per Cents., Chilian 6 per Cents., and Chiban 3 per Cents. The following aro the nominal prices of Foreig►, stocks ;—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6. 7 ; Mexi can, 231 231 ; Peruvian, 78 79 ; ditto Three per Cents., 55 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 107 9 ; do. 4i per Cents., 97 99; Spanish 3 per Cents., 4lf 41,f; ditto Deferred, 241 251 ; Ditto Certificates, sg ; Ditto Passive, 5i 6. The dealings reported in the Railway Share Market this morning were of a very unimportant character. In most of the principal lines dealt in lower rates were current, although not to any great extent, the decline in the value of Consols having partially influenced prices. Great 'Western re ceded ss. to 10s., Lancashire and Yorkshire about 55., Midland 10s., and North-Eastern (Berwick), and Oxford and Worcester, and Wolverhampton about ss. The Paris and Lyons advanced 10s. to 155., Eastern of France 55., Northern of France and Great Luxembourg ruled steady, as also Sambre and Meuse. East Indian advanced 10s., Grand Trunk of Canada 58., and Great Western of Canada ss. In Mining Shares no business of any importance has been transacted. Cobre Copper realised 62. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous under takings have been very inactive, and generally at lower quotations. Ottoman Bank declined 10s., Union of Australia 10s. to 11. Canada Laud improved 11. B.
