The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. The Railway Share blanket closed quietly, and prices are at a slight• decline. The Colonial Produce markets closed yesterday with a heavy appearance. Sugar further receded, making the decline on the week about 2a. 6d. to 3s. per cwt. Cocoa was firm, and also tea, while coffee was at a slight improvement. After the re cent advance, saltpetre has been quieter. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Forster, Rutty, Hall, and Co., warehousemen, who lately failed, has been held, and the balance-sheet pre sented was very unsatisfactory, showing a defi ciency of assets compared with liabilities of nearly 38,0001. A dividend of ss. or 6s. ill the pound is expected, and it has been resolved to wind up the affairs of the house under inspection. The Bank of England Return for the week ending the Bth inst., although showing an increase in the reserve of notes, is considered rather unfavourable. There is a small decrease in the bullion, and a large addition to the securities, with a falling off in the private deposits. At the same time, however, a large augmentation in the public deposits is noticeable, which partly accounts for the pressure on the establishment. The principal items, and the changes they present, are as subjoined : Active Circulation Decrease Bullion Decrease Rest £19,547, 440 358,540 .. 11,283,754 18,398 3,630,566 Increase Public Deposits Increaile 'Other Deposits • Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 736,3s 2Decrease Government Securities Decrease 18,679,056 Other Securities Increase .................. . ........ 461,532 Notes unemployed ....................... 5,551,210 Increase... , ..... . .................. 321,810 The official return of the exports of bullion from the port of London 'for the week ending Thurs day last is as follows :-- Gold Coin ... Boulogne ... 146 Ozs. Belgium ... 3,000 „ „ Bars ... Belgium ... 23 „ ... Boulogne ... 29,000 „ Silver Coin ... Hamburg ... 800 „ ~ ~ Boulogne ... 40,800 „ Money is still obtainable on the best descriptions of mercantile paper, at a fraction below the Bank rate. The Funds continue buoyant, and speculation for a rise is still prosecuted with vigour, notwith standing the unsettled state of the weather and the accumulation of securities at the Bank. The easier state of the Money-market, and the expec tation that the next accounts from India will be more favourable, assist in promoting the im provement. Consols for money have risen to 90k, Mk, and 91 while for accouni they have been firm at 918 A. The New 3 per Cents. have been 91i 84 ; and the Reduced 911 1.

THE FIRE AT DANTZIC.—The injury caused by the late fire at Daatzic is not so extensive as was at first feared. The fire commenced in a timber yard sur rounded by large sheds, and from the extreme dryness of the materials and a high wind, spread very rapidly, Several public edifices e ere at one time in great danger, but some houses having been pulled down the progress ofl the flames was arrested.

Mayn, two notorious begging- impostors, were brought up in the custody of Hewitt and Sbargold, officers of the Mendicity_Society, charged with begging. Hewitt stated that in the course of the previous afternoon he was in St. James's-street with his brother officer, when he saw the prisoners, who were soliciting charity from various persons. He followed them, and saw them go into the Guards Club-house, Pall-mall. When they returned, he, knowing that Collins bad been several times convicted for begging, took him into cus tody. The other prisoner was apprehended by Shargold. On searching Mayne a petition was found, in which it was stated that the petitioner was a widow, and that a few months ago she had lost her husband, who was run over and killed in the street. She alleged that she was left with five children, and solicited the support of the benevolent. On the petition wasthename of Mr.La,ye,l33, Pall-mail. He (Hewett) went there, and found that the prisoners ha I called with the petition, 'and that they had obtained ss. (The petition was produced. There were several signatures attached to it, with the respez tive sums given by each contributor ) John Osborne, servant to Mr. Laye, proved having given ss. to the prisoner. Hewett stated that Collins had been five times con victed for begging at different police-courts. The prisoners were sent severally for three months with bard labour to the House of Correction. A DANGEROUS FREAK.—Samuel Watson, a young man, was charged with the following offence : It appeared from the evidence that about 1 o'clock this morning the prisoner went to the house No. 12, King-street, and got into it. As soon as he entered he went to different rooms and called out " Fire !" The inmates got up, and some of them rushed to the win dow, calling out " Fire!" and "Police !" The prisoner afterwards went into the street and exclaimed "Fire, fire !" The police came and a crowd collected, when, it being ascertained that there was no fire, the prisoner was apprehended and taken to the station-house. He was held to bail, himself in 201., and two sureties of 101. each, to keep the peace for three months. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Crhis Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. NEW PALACE YARD. Mr. CONOLLY asked the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention had been drawn to the present arrangement for ingress to and egress from New Palace Yard, and whether it was not possible to effect some improvement in the same? Sir B. HALL said this was the first complaint he had heard against the present arrangement. He would make enquiries, and if he found inconvenience arose from them, he woul•l do his best to have them altered. MR. GLADSTONE AND THE " MORNING 91 - 95 ii 1 - 173 ":ii_ ii iiii --- 16 ..• ••• 12 —12 A 98 2 1 3i 00 id P POST." Mr. GLA.DSTONE explained that last night ; in refer ence to his complaint against the Morning Post, in using the word "falsehood," he did not intend it to apply as a wilful fabrication on the part of the writer, but simply that the statement was untrtie. SCOTCH CONFIRMATIONS. Mr. lIADFIELD asked whether it was the intention of the Lord-Advocate to.bring in a bill to remove the present legal difficulties that prevented Scotch confirme tions havin g operation over the estates of deceased p e rsons in Scotland, and also whether he intended to introluce a measure to extend the operation of Eeglish and Irish probates over the property of deceased persons in Scotland ? The LORD-ADVOCATE said it was his intention next session to introAuce such a measure. BEVERLEY ELECTION. Mr. J. LOCKE (Southwark) presented a petition from Mr. E. A . Glover, late member for Beverley, praying the house to direct an inquiry by a select com mittee, or some other tribunal, whether the petitioner, on the 28th of, March last, was possessed of a sufficient qualification to be returned for Beverley. The petition was founded on the report of-the election committee, calling the attention of the Attorney-General to the evidence taken by the committee relative to the ques tion of qualification. The SPEAKER said the committee had already de cided the question, and that consequently the petition could not be received. (Hear, bear.) The petition was then withdrawn. , The Charitable Acts Continuance bill was read a third time and passed. The Mutiny. (Rea India) Bill was read a 'third time and passed. The Parochial Schoolmasters (Scotland) (No. 2) Bill was also read a third time and passed. - - THE MILITIA BILL. 91 i - 92 54 - 129 - 13 8 - 8i 86 - 88 I ,E SIIA.REI O. the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. STAFFORD expressed a hope that the Govern ment would, at a future stage of the bill, state what they were going to do with regard to the establishment of hospitals for the troops sent t. India. The bill went through committee. Oa the motion fOr reporting progress, the Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill passed through committee. MITSEUMS FOR EDINBURGH. Mr. CAIRD called, attention to the injustice that had been done to Scotland by the withdrawal of the vote for a National Museum in Edinburgh, and expressed a hope that the Government would renew the vote on Monday in the next committee of supply. Mr. HADFIELD hoped that the Government would not accede to the proposition. ythberiCnghianngcetlhloer of the Exchequer, in Mr. GLADSTONE said the hon. member had only subject before the house, tgyhhtbthe usage of the house, could not renew ac cordancebd u o n t c h big i t s h d ow u ui t the application for the vote. He regretted the vote was not entertained the other night on its merits, and hoped that eariy next session the Chancellor of the Exchequer would take steps f or carryg in out a National museum for Scotland. Aft er someiremarks from Mr. DE VERE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said 'that the vote was withdrawn from a fear that it would have been rejected on a division. The Government would renew the vote at the earliest convenient period, but certainly not this session. After some remarks from ttr. MACARTNEY and Mr. STEWART, The LORD ADVOCATE expressed his regret at the loss of the vote this session, but lie had no doubt I justice would be done to this national object next session. The subject then dropped,,and the bill was ordered to be reported. The Customs and Excise bill, the Customs bill, and Jurisdiction in Siam bill passed through committee, and were ordered to be read a third time on Monday. PROBATES AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA TION (IRELAND) BILL. This bill as amended was conoidered and agreed to. CROWDED DWELLINGS PREVENTION BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. AYRTON complained of the operation of this bill, which would render every man's residence liable to be entered at any time by the police to ascertain that the dwellings were not overcrowded ;,, and a man who had his relations living with him, to , escape the penalties of the act would be put to the trouble and expense of proving it, as well as the legitimacy of his children to show that they were member s of his family. Since the second reading of the bill words bad been introduced into it making it applicable to the whole country. The amended bill had been delivered that morning - to =hon. members so late that be doubted if half-a-dozen of them were cognisant of the alteration. Mr. COWPER said the bill did not emanate from the Government, but it was rendered necessary to remedy a defect to be found in practice to exist fn the pre sent Lodging House Act. No new principle was involved in the bil, and it would only affect lodging-houses. After some remarks from Mr. HENLEY, 1 Mr. COWPER, postponed the furthe r p ro g ress of the bill till Monday. . Mr. RIDLEY expressed a hope th at the bill would be withdrawn till another session. The house adjourned at 5 minutes to 2 o'clock till Monday at 12 o'clock. A SCIENTIFIC FANATIC. -- My friend Marston, though one of the finest fel lows on earth, is made a bore by an hallucination He is of a noble nature, and has had an excellent education, which commenced early, and still pro gresses, although be is now in his fiftieth year. He has a knowledge of languages, if not profound, yet very general ; his acquaintance with more than one branch of science is extensive ; his love of art is pure and strong. He has travelled much in Eu rope, in the Americas, and in India ; and has al ways journeyed with observant eyes. He has writ ten much in newspapers, in magazines, and in re views, and his contributions have always revealed vast knowledge, great originality and broad hu manity in the writer.; His physical aspect visibly corresponds with his charaeer. lie i s tall, erect, broad-breasted, and has firm and plea nt features, a piercing eye, and a bri g ht and mas sive brow. His rich and shining hair crowns his countenance with light. There are but few coun. tries capable of producing a person at once so great, so strong, so genial, and so full of clear sense, and cheerful life as he. But ho has a singular notion respecting the designing of ships, which is now uppermost i n him. Our entire mercantile and war navies are at sea in th's respect. Neither Mr. Scott Rus• sell, nor Mr. Green, nor Mr. White, nor any other constructor of ships is of the smallest profes fessional worth in my excellent friend's estimation. They know how to fine a bow here, and flatten a floor there, and lengthen a run elsewhere. They will pull the frame of th is to pieces to increase her breadth of beam, and cleave another through amidships to bring in an extra 20 feet of length ; but produce a vessel that will exceed in speed a score of kno's per hour they cannot. And the secret lies in this : they build ships that swim through the water like a fiah; whereas a ship should glide over the sea like a skattt. Tuis is his discovery. Of course he is aware that a vessel at rest in a fluid will displace a body of it that weighs the same as itself. It is the motive power that is to bring the new vessel to the surface, and carry her long it. Place his patent inclined planes under her bows, and give her engines steam, or her sail wind, and up she will rise, and away she will career over fifty, eighty, or even a hundred knots an hour. In a day you may be in America—in four or five at Aus tralia. These results, accord, he avers, with the laws of nature. Certainly they accord with what appears to have become a law of his nature, notwith standing its nobility?. I h aye plied him with mat h ema tics in all appropriate forms, but in vain. I have played upon him by the hour with the artillery of syllogisms, but without result. He s till believes in his theory , and he still troubles ma with it beyond measure. The eye of his faith be holds the skating ship, as other eyes have beheld ; and I verily believe that o th e r phantom ships when be comes to gaze upon the waters of death themselves ho will see a swift ship skimming across them.—Mechanics' Magazine.

Swiney. —Allen's Indian Mail. _HARVEST IS ALGERIA.—The Zeramma of Philippeville speaks as follows of the harvest in Algeria :—" The ex port, of new wheat to the mother-country continues with great activity and not less than 665-847 kilogrammes have been carried away from this place within the last month. Thus the great hopes entertained of this year's harvest will be fully realised. Independently of a very abundant crop, the grain is of fine quality, and so heavy that the weight of the hectolitre easily attains 80 kilo grammes. On the other band, the business transacted in flour is brisk, and our millers continue to send large quantities to Algiers and Oran. Under such /airma n. stances the various steamers will fiud a ready (- • (Will the whole of the fine soon." SHARE EFTS—(This Day.) -~~----- RAILWAYS. Closing Prices this day tr.

ATTEMPTS AT SIIICIDE,—arah Freeman, a woman of the town, aged 28, and residing at No. 2, Glasshouse street, or buildings, Rosemary-lane' Whitechapel, a her many robberies and outrages have been committed, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with attempting self-destruction. It appeared that the prisoner, who had been drinking freely and quarrelling with coins companions of her own cliss, had, after making an ineffectual attempt to throw herself from the window of the house where she lived, gone to the Hermitage-lock of the London Dock, in Wapping, and after getting over the rails on to the quay, where she raved delirious in a fearful manner, swore ft he would drown herself, and gave an hysterical laugh. She advanced towards the edge of the quay, and before Holmes, a police constable, could seize her, she plunged into the waters of the lock which is upwards of 20 feet in depth. The drags and grapnels were immediately procured and thrown into the lock, and after the lapse of a few minutes the prisoner was taken out of the water in a perfectly insensible condition, ani was recovered by the application of friction to the body, and stimulants. The prisoner appeared to be in a languid condition, and to have suffered much from her immersion in the water, and the means adopted to resuscitate her. The prisoner made no reply to the charge. She made an attempt to speak but was unable to do so, and it was evident the wretched creature was suffering both men tally and physically. Mr. Yarciley remanded the prisoner to the House of Detent:on for a week, and said she would be taken care of in that prison, and the 0114111 in would look after her spiritual welfare, and he hoped would convince her that she bad committed a most rash and wicked act. Jane King, aged 24, a married woman 'of No. 1, Greenfield, Whitechapel,. was brought before Mr. Yard ley charged with being drunk and disorderly, and caus ing a mob to assemble in the Canal-road, Mile-end, by attempting to throw herself into the Regent's-canal. It appeared from the evidence of George Gray, a police constable. No. 302 K, that his attention was called* to a disturbance at the aide of the canal, and he found the pri soner there in a most excited state and declaring that she would drown herself. He removed her and told her to go home, which she refused to do, and continued haranguing the mob, shouting and declaring thati her time was come and into the water she must go. She made several attempts to throw herself into the water, and he was compelled to take her into custody. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner described herself as a married woman. The number of married women brought before him daily for drunkenness and disorderly conduct was perfectly shocking. He sentenced the prisoner to seven days imprisonment. • MARKET _.NEWS.—(Thits Day.).

Ponsonby, the chairman of the company, pre- The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report and accounts. Lord DARLINGTON (the Deputy Chairman) se conded the motion. Mr. MALINS proposed an amendment as follows : " That so much of the report as provides for the payment of a dividend of per cent. be confirmed (though, for one, he thought it would be better not to pay any dividend) ; but that the re mainder of the report, together with the accounts, be referred to a committee of six proprietors, with power to examine all books and documents, and to call for the services of the officials in possession thereof, and to report thereon at a special meeting to be convened by the directors on their request to receive the same.' A long discussion ensued, at the termination of which, Mr. MALINS refused to withdraw his amendment, and The CHAIRMAN put the question, when the ori ginal motion, adopting the report, was carried by a large majority. A resolution confirming the dividend .of 2 per cent. for the half-year was then put and carried, and a vote of 40,0001. was taken for new locomotive plant and other purposes. The meeting then separated, without the usual vote of thanks to the chairman and the board. THE LATE 3II.NI3TERIAL CRISIS AT MELBOURNE. Detailed accounts from Victoria have reached us of the causes and consequence of the recent Minis terial crisis in that colony. The former adminis tration, under the presidency of Mr. Haines, startled the commercial community with the vast gratuitous labour which it proposed to give itself y Government interference with matters purely com mercial. The three great measures were those of a national bank, the making of trunk railroads by the St itP, and a grand scheme of immigration, with an imposing staff of officials, at an expenditure of 300,0001. Great excitement was created not only in the colony, but in this country, for the in terests of the shareholders in the various London banks identified with Victoria would have been seriously damaged, if not altogether destroyed, by the establishment of a national bank, and protestaf tions were forwarded against the proposed interfer ence with private enterprise. Feelings of distrust in the policy of Mr. Haines soon became apparent ; and, shortly afterwards, being defeated on the im migration project, and having only a majority of one in a vote of indemnity for an unauthorised expenditure on railway account, his administration gave way, and Mr. O'Shanassy was called upon, and formed a new Ministry. Strong opposition was however, raised immediately. His administration was obnoxious to three parties—one, the official class, who dreaded administrative reform ; the squatters, as the land owners are termed, who apprehended a liberal laud system ; and the third were the ultra-Protestants (both Mr. O'Shanassy and Mr. Duffy being Roman Catholics). These combined, and on the re-assembling of the house moved a want of confidence, which was carried by 34 to 19. Mr. Mc Culloch was sent for; he was un able to form a cabinet, but consenting to act with Mr. Haines a restoration to power of the latter gentleman was the result, and he now conducts the affairs of State, but under such a total change of views and sentiments, bat, a lth o ugh there is a return of the man tooce, there is no resuscitation of measures. On the con trary, it is quite clear that the policy is to be very liberal, with a total abstaining from monopoly of every kind, or the interference of the executive with matters which are the province of private en- terprise. On the first point—as to a National Bank—Mr. Ebden, the treasurer, stated in the house, in reply to a question on the subject, "that it was not the intention of the Government to propose any national scheme of banking, or what might be termed a Go vernment or national bank." On the second ques tion, we have a statement from Mr. Haines hiai self, that it "would be impossible to take any steps until certain questions referred to the com mittee now sitting were decided, and he hoped the membersof this committee would bring theirlabours to a termination without delay;' while the Mel bourne press generally remark that " the feeling of the public is so strongly adverse to Government con struction, that the chances are now greatly in favour of any private enterprise of general utility." With reference to immigration, it was likewise asserted by the Government that "it was not the intention to s nd money out of the country to im port additional labour, which was utterly super fluous." In fact, the second . Haines Ministry repudiates all the pet projects of the first, and a total change has come "o'er the spirit of the dream." Mr. O'Shanassy, it appears, was acting with the utmost forbearance, and he is said to have declared that there should be no combinations, or factious opposition, on his part. In fact, it was thought possible that he might be induced to join the administration personally, and so complete the "coalition cabinet," which the present is considered. Mr. Elalnes had expressed a hope that the present session might be short ; that he would only press the passing of such measures as were imperative, and would propose the prorogation , of the Legisla ture early in July. As it will, no doubt, be interesting to the colo nists now iu this country, we transcribe the names of the members who were present at the division on the vote which removed Mr. O'Shanassy from the head of the Executive : `ATzs.—Haines, Rutledg e, Sladen, Pasley, Campbell, Evans, Michie, Ebden, Davies, Anderson, Clarke, Heales, Griffiths, Moore, Harker, Adamson, Sargood, Palmer, D. S. Campbell, Fullowes, McCulloch, Lalor, Service, Bennett, Johnson, Beaver, Embling, McDougall, Goodman , Smith, Willis, Langlands, Sit well, Rutherford. NOES.—Rend, Brooke, O'Shanassy, Fyfe, Owens, Humffray, Horne, Foster, Syme, Grant, Wood, Duffy, Snodgrass, Myles, Hughes, Blair, Phelan O'Brien, Aspiaall. In enumerating the members of the new Cabinet o f Victoria, in our remar ks of last week, we ought to have stated that Mr. Ebden, the Colonial Trea surer, was Auditor-General in 1851-52, under Captain Lonsdale's administration. This post, although constituting the holder a member of the Executive Council, is not oue of the conspicuous appointments of the State, or what may be termed political. The seven main positions are dependent on the votes of the Legislature, and the Auditor- General is not amongst them. Mr. Ebden is an old colonist, and we hope be will be as useful as Colonial Treasurer as he is said to have been as Au ditor General.-11/ining Journal. AN EXILE AS HE IS. A PEEP INT, 'NSTER-HAT,L.

He tells dismaying tales of secret police , who follow him closely as would his shadow, were the re substance enough: in him to make one. They hunt him from house to house, from hour to hour. In fear of these, he changes his lodgings every week, and his coffee room every day. His eye is restless, his gait t s imid, his posture crouching, h is ste p silent.

James Lovett, a groom, said that about three o'clock on Thursday morning he was riding through the Lansdowne-road, Notting-hill, when he heard groans. and on going to the spot discovered the deceased down a deep area of one of the unfurnished houses. Witness went to the station-house, and on giving information of the •accident, the sup erintendent sent a stretcher, on which the deceased was sent to the hospital. The super intendent said that the deceased had been in the force for t hi r t een years, and was a ver y active officer.
