By the Royal mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Shannon, we have advises from New York to the 13th inst. She has brought $1,534,578 specie on freight. Among the passengers by the Africa are M. J. G. Hulsmann, Austrian Minister to Wash ington, and Mr. John Clair'iorne, who has been appointed special agent for the American Govern ment to collect statistical information in Europe in relation to the consumption of cotton: On the 14th inst. the Afrba passed the Royal mail steamer Asia, hence for New York, and the screw steam-ship Queen of the South, bound west. The Washington Union, of the 9th, says : " We learn that the Cabinet hive acquired consider. able insight into the motives which prompted Lord Pal merston to reject the Dallas-Camelot' Treaty. His Lordship professes only to desire certain very limited protection to the Indian: and to resident British sub jects, and the modification of tl e treaty to tat extent. Toile position, which has been sem . ..off:jelly assigned to the London Cabinet, is by no means comprehensible by the President and his Cabinet. Indeed, if we con-ider the assumed attitude of Lord Clarendon since the rejec tion of the treaty it will be impossible to comprehend what in reality is the object of her Majesty's Govern ment in Central America." A despatch from Washington of the 12th to the New York Times says "Nothing lee to be done relativeto the Dallas Claren don Treaty. There has been no correspondence between Mr. Dallas and Lord Clarendon, but merely a conversa tion. Lord Napier has stated the grounds of objection, not only to the Secretary be State, -but to others, and in terms of the most conciliatory nature. The Senate so altered the article of the treaty in regard to the Bay Islands as to require the absolute and unconditional ces• sion of the islands to Honduras, instead of the qualified cession which was proposed. Herein rests the whole ob jection. Ido not think from what I learn that the Ad ministration is disposed to get into a new treaty; there is no danger of any collision, the whale matter must rest till the next Congress meets. The Administration will not instruct Mr. Dallas to offer new propositions. Mr. Dallas, in a letter to Gen. Cass, expresses the opinion that if the treaty had reached England prior to the elec tion it would undoubtedly have been ratified. The offi cial papers just communicated by Lord Napier contain a formal proposition for a new Central American Treaty, but the Administration will probably do nothing in the premises until the meeting of the next Congress, when the entire subject will be laid before the Senate in de ference to their views heretofore expressed." The Neu, York Times thinks that if the British Government are right in regarding the Central American Treaty, as amended by Congress, as a deliberate and dangerous attempt to keep open a Southern gateway for the extension of slavery, and a s it is professedly an interference with the rights of Great Britain to form treat.es with independent States on the American, continent, the action of the British Government will be sustained in Eng land, as it ought to be, heartily and at all risks, and to any end. It is flatly impossible for the United States to prevent Great Britain from filling the position in Central America to which she is fairly entitled as the first commercial nation in the globe. The .Nete York Courier and Enquirer has the fol lowing.from its Washington correspondent.— "There was abundant proof in the records of the State Department that England had no jealousy of the United States in connexion with Central America, and only desired to adopt in reference to those countries a mea sure for the promotion of her commercial interests which the United States could approve. She would have pr,. ferred to act independently of this Government but for the suspicions which the ruling party here had instilled into the public mind that she entertained projects of colonization and territorial aggression. The British Government therefore eagerly accepted Mr. Marcy's pro ject, which was sent out very soon after Mr. Pierce lost the nomination for the Presidency ; but Mr. Buchanan was not consulted, nor was Mr. Jeaffreson Davis, nor Mr. Mason, the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. From the instant of its promulgation the con firmation of the treaty was considered hopeless, all the influence of the retiring Administration was exercised in vain, and it was only saved from unconditional rejection by a postponement until the advent of the new powers. Then Mr. Buchanan and General Cass held a confer ence with General Davis, who had been transferred from the War Department to the Senate, and it was agreed between them that the peace of the country required some attempt at conciliation. General Davis intro duced the suggested modifications, and they were adopt ed by the Senate by the exact vote necessary to give them effect, but against the protest of the senators re presenting the Filibustering interest." The Courier and Inquirer, referring to a rumour that Lord Napier, acting under the instructions of Lord Palmerston, had proposed to the President to go into auother negotiation on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, but that Mr. Buchanan had promptly de clined, expresses disbelief in the alleged refusal. The Courier regrets the rejection of the treaty, in clining to the opinion that the British construction of the convention of 1850 was the true one. The Washington, Union of the 9th announces by authority the following :-- "The Governments of England and France have notified to the Government of New Granada that they cannot approve its position towards the United States. Lord Clarendon has written to the British Envoy here, apprising him of the attitude of her Maiesty'sgCabioet upon this question, and we have reason to know that the contents of Lord Clarendon's despatch have been communicated to the State Department." There bad been a desperate, but unsuccessful, attempt of the convicts to escape from Singsing Prison ; one of them was shot - . Several unsuccess ful attempts had been made in Baltimore to get up meetings to express sympathy for and furnish aid to General Walker and the cause of Filibusterism in Nicaragua. The Burdell murder case was brought to a close on the 9th inst., after being six days on trial. The jury brought in a verdict, having been but 35 minutes out of the court-room, of "Not Guilty." Mrs. Emma Augusta Cunningham Burdell was dis charged from custody ; Mr. Eckel was also dis charged on his own recognisances in the sum of $5,000. The trial had done nothing to clear up the mystery of this strange case. Advices from Havannah to the 2d inst. report cold and wet weather throughout theisland. Sugars were high. The New York money-market remained in a com fortable position, Which, in connexion with the bank statement, bad a favourable effect on the stock-market. Notwithsta n ding the absence of speculators current rat es were 7 per cent. on call, and 8 to 10 per cent. for prime commercial paper, the maturities ranging from 30 days to 6 months. Exchange for the Africa was active. The quotations for stocks were—Virginia Sites, 91/- to 91 ; Mis souri Sixes, 83g- to 82g ; California Sevens , 49 to 50 ; Tennessee Sixes, at 87 to 871 ; Indiana Fives, 83k ; Kentucky Sixes, 103 to 104; Georgia Sixes, 63 ; Ohio Sixes, 1860, 102 ; Lousiana Sixes, 85 to 87k. Exchange on London, 1081 to 1091. Rail way bonds were inactive at steady prices. The transactions in cotton continued light, home spinners keeping aloof from the market, while there was only a very limited export demand, and little, if any, speculative action. Most of the cotton in course of shipment to Liverpool, it was understood, was sent on speculation ; the extreme low freights offering inducements to ship in the absence of de mand. The frost accounts were conflicting, but the prevailing opinion was that the damage was much exaggerated. In flour there was an almost entire absence for export demand, and a decided abatement in home inquiries. There had been a reaction in prices, but the advance since the 7th was about2oc. to 30c. Wheat had improved, and then declined. The stock remained light. Iron was quiet. Tobacco was firm, but quiet. Freights continued extremely low ; to Liverpool, equal to a ballast, all d cargoes yet had the been offerings take were e a r ex t e ratestremely THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 23. t. W. J. Wood ga t es , h as arr i ve d The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam mails, in charge of Lieut. Lloyd, R.N., Admiralty agent. She left s fr h o ip m A G il it a r m alja a r , C ik a c P ., with the Gibraltar at 6.30 p.m. on the 16th inst. ; Cadiz, 10.30 a.m. on the 17th ; Lisbon, u. a.m. en the 19th ; Oporto, 9 a.m. on the 26th : and Vigo, 7 p.m. on the 20th. On the voyage home the Alhambra had light breezes and fine weather as far as Cadiz ; mo d era te- northerly breeze and fine to Lisbon ; light northerly breeze and fine to Oporto and Vigo ; thence to Uhhant unsettled, and squally at times, and light north - westerly breezes ; up to the Needles thick weather, with rain and low barometer, wind from the northward. She passed Hurst Castle at a quarter to 10 o'clock last night, but, in consequence of the weather setting in very thick, and wind from the south-west, was obliged to anchor for the night off Hurst, and came up the river into dock this morning. This steamer brings 32 first-class passengers, 17 second, and 14 deck ; and on freight 6 packages of specie (value 2,8571. sterling), 580 chests of oranges, 91 boxes of onions, 69 boxes of potatoes, 7 casks of wine, 32 cases of eggs, and 23 packages of sundries. Dates from Gibraltar are W the 16th inst. The Duke and Duchess D'Aumale arrived in the thy on the morning of the 12th in the steamship Albanian, Capt. Glover, bound for Liverpool ; the steamer resumed its voyage at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after taking in eome fresh proviion, arc. A fire broke out about midday on the 12th instant on board the British steamer Powerful, which had put into the Bay on the previous day to coal, on her way from London to Malta, Constan tinople, and Odessa, laden with a general cargo. The fire was soon got under. Exchanges at Gibraltar on the 16th were quoted as follows :—London, 90 days' datP, 514 ; Paris, ditto, sf. 39c. ; Marseilles, ditto, sf. 40c. ; Genoa, ditto, 4f. 42c. ; Madrid, e'ght days' sight, 14 dis. ; Cadiz, ditto, # dis. ; Malage, ditto, 11 dis. ; Seville, ditto, dis. ; Alicante, dis. ; Valencia, dis. ; Barcelona, dis. ; Spanish pillared dollars, 4 per cent. p.m. Demand dull. The Brazilian corvette Imperial Marinheiro, Capt Alvin, anchored in the bay on the afternoon of the 11th, from Cadiz, and saluted the garrison with 21 guns, which compliment was duly returned by the s eluting battery. This vessel is from Brazil, on an experimental cruise, and has on board a number of naval cadets, who have been ordered by the Impe rial Government to visit some of the principal dockyards and arsenals of Europe for scientific pur poses. The Imperial Marinheiro sailed again on the 14th, bound to Toulon, Naples, and Messina, thence to Marseilles and Algiers, and afterwards will re turn to the Brazils, touching at Gibraltar on her way home. The British steamships Sydney, Australian, and Adelaide passed the Rock to the eastward on the 11th, 13th, and 14th respectively. These vessels have been chartered by the Government to take from Malta the Ist Royals (2d batt.) and 47th Re giment, which are to relieve the 15th and 96th Foot, doing garrison duty at Gibraltar. The British steamer Peninsula, Capt. Watson, from London and Southampton, with a general cargo for Gibraltar and Cadiz, arrived at Gibraltar on the 13th. On the 16th the Alhambra passed and exchanged night signals with the screw steamship Jura, pass ing through the Straits, from Southampton for Malta and Alexandria, with the Australian mails. Several vessels passed through the straits, home ward bound, on the 16th, but in Gibraltar Bay there were very few vessels. Her Majesty's ship Curlew was at Gibraltar when the Alhambra left. At Lisbon, on the 19th, were H.M.S. Princess Royal and the usual Portuguese squadron. The Lisbon exchanges for bills at 3 months are quoted as follows :—London, 53i, at which few bills were passed, the takers requiring generally 53k, at which some trifles were negotiated ; Paris, 533 to 535; Amsterdam, 41i ; Hamburg, 471 ; Genoa, 532. Bills were scarce on the continent, and trans actions consequently limited. In stocks and shares little activity had been evinced. Three per Cents. registered were at 48 to 48i ; Coupons, 47 to 474 ; and Deferred, 28k to 28i ; Bank of Portugal shares, 8 to 10 per cent. premium ; and Bank of Oporto shares, 221 to 25 per cent. premium. THE MEDITERRANEAN. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 23. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Indus, Capt. R. W. Evans, arrived here to day, with the heavy portion of the East India and China mails, in charge of Lieut. Oxenbam, and dates from Alexandria to May 9, Malta 13, and Gibraltar 18. She had moderate winds and fine weather throughout the voyage. The Indus has 173 passengers—viz., 73 first-class, 40 children, and 60 others. On frieght she has 4 packages of specie, value 3,6001. sterling, 1,655 bales of silk, 188 cases of shawls, and 90 packages of general merchandise. At Alexandria were iher Majesty's steamers Tar tarus and Caradoc. At Malta were her Majesty's ships Royal Albert (flag of Admiral Lord Lyons), Hibernia (flag of Admiral Stopford), Conqueror, Centurion, Bruns wick, Ariel, Curacoa, Shearwater, Osprey, Medina, Vigilant, Vulture, Wanderer, Arrow, and Supply ; the Peninsular and Oriental steamers Euxine, with the homeward mail, and Pera, with the outward mail. Our Gibraltar correspondent, writing on the 18th, says : " The British steamer Calpe arrived from Liver pool on Saturday night, in seven days, and started at one p.m. yesterday for Genoa and Leg'iorn. The British steamer William France arrived at ten o'clock yesterday, in eight days, from London, with bale goods for Malta and Constantinople, and sailed during the night. The British steamer Minna, from Malta and Palermo, for Liverpool, arrived at four p.m. yesterday, and is now coaling preparatory to leaving. The French steamer Ville de Lisbonne arrived from Malaga at five p.m., and will leave this afternoon for Cadiz, Lisbon, and Nantes. " The Powerful steamer has been taken to the dockyard for the purpose of being repaired, one of her boilers having been severely injured, and two of her furnaces started by the fire which happened on board. It is expected that by Wednesday next she will be ready to resume her voyage to Malta, Constantinople, and Odessa. " The steamer Dutchman is hourly expected from Malta with the remainder of the 31st Foot. " Lieutenant-Colonel Daubeney, C. 8., 55th Regiment, goes home on leave by the next packet." The Indus passed on the 17th of May, in lat. 36 23 N., long. 3 30 W., the screw steamship Jura, with the outward Australian mails, steering to the eastward ; on the 19th, off Cape St. Vincent, the screw steamer Danube. steering to the south-east ; and on the 22d, about GO miles north of Cape Fini sterre, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Sultan, steering to the southward.

This Railway, about 70 miles in length, will connect Smyrna, the most important seaport in the Levant, with Guzel Hissar or Aidin, the great entrepot of the internal trade of Asia Minor. It will bring the two places within three hours of each other, instead of four days as at present. Smyrna contains a population of 160,000, possesses one of the finest harbours in the world, and takes the highest rank among the trading ports of the Mediterranean. - The aggregate value of her imports and exports in 1856, taken from the most reliable sources of information, amounted to 5,000,0001. sterling, and the tonnage inwards and out- wards to 869,380 tons. The extraordinary fertility and resources of Asia Minor maintain Smyrna in her position as a trading emporium, not withstanding all the disadvantages she has had to contend with from the total absence of even the most ordinary roads, and which has from time immemorial rendered imperative the exclusive use of camels and mules. When the goods are packed at Aidin, the deterioration now caused, particularly in delicate products, by the frequent lading and unlading consequent upon the nightly rest of the camels, will be avoided. The loss of damage arising from the death of animals and from numerous other casualties, which frequently occur during the conveyance from Aidin to the port of ship ment, Smyrna, will all be obviated by the proposed Railway. Tho physical features of the neighbourhood of Smyrna, which is surrounded by mountains, force the traffic along two principal routes—one to the north, skirting the sea coast, and leading, by a circuitous path, to Magnesia and Cassaba, and from thence to the northern and northeastern parts of Asia Minor—the second to the south-east, opening upon the celebrated province of Aidin. The varied elevations of this part of the country, the genial temperature of the climate, and the alluvial nature of the soil, enable it to grow produce of all kinds from the rarest to the coarsest qualities. Tobacco, the fig, the vine, the olive, the poppy, the cotton plant and mulbery tree are indigenous products, whilst wheat, maize, barley, beans, flax, hemp, and a variety of pulse and oleagin ous seeds are raised in large quantities. Valonia, yellow berries, wool, goat's hair, dyestuffs, drugs, skins, honey, wax, ct.c., likewise abound. Guzel Hisser, more commonly called Aidin, is a thriving city, having about 60,000 inhabitants, and is the point of concourse for persons from all parts of the interior, who re sort to that market for the disposal of produce in small par cels to the resident dealers trading with Smyrna, and for the purchase of foreign goods. According to a low average of the various estimates made by a Special Commissioner sent out for the purpose, whose report has been confirmed by all the principal resident mer chants of Smyrna, the goods traffic from Aidin to Smyrna employs 10,000 camels and 500 mules, at the cost of over 400,0001. per annum. Independent of the 10,000 camels which are constantly employed to carry the traffic between Smyrna and Aidin, there are at least 20,000 employed on va rious routes in conveying produce from the interior to the sea. When this Railway is completed to Aidin the traffic conveyed by at least 10,000 of these 20,000 camels will come to the line, thus at once considerably increasing the existing amount of traffic between the two places. It is evident, from the above data, that the present goods traffic will give a dividend of 12 per cent. per annum, after deducting one-half of the receipts for working expenses, and the division of profits with Government over 7 per cent. With regard to passenger traffic, no accurate estimate can be at present formed. Looking, however, to the result of the •pening of the Railways in Egypt and India, and to the ab sence of any passport system, a large revenue is certain to be derived from this source, The Turkish Government guarantees a minimum dividend of 6 per cent. per annum on the expenditure not exceeding 1,200,0001., and contractors of eminence and responsibility haze offered to undertake the construction of the Railway with ample rolling stock within this amount ; but the pre sent extraordinary traffic along the route it will traverse, un equalled by that of any railway ever offered to the public, is the best guarantee of its success. The Turkish Government, by the terms of the concession, reserve 15,000 shares, or 300,0001., for local subscription. The applications for these shares, headed by his Imperial Ma jesty the Sultan, the Grand Vizier, and several influential capitalists of Constantinople, have considerably exceeded this amount. The concession, which has been granted and confirmed by an Imperial firman, accords the most valuable privileges. The following is an outline of the principal clauses ;- 1. It is perpetual, subject to the right of purchase by the Ottoman Government upon agreed and equitable terms at the end of 50, 75, 95, and every subsequent 20 years. 2. A guarantee of dividend of 6 per cent. per annum as above mentioned for 50 years. The line to be opened in sec tions, and the guarantee to come into operation as each sec tion is opened. The profits over 7 per cent. to be divided with Government. 3. All Government land and materials to be taken and made use of by the Company gratuitously. 4. All the materials for constructing, working, and renew ing the Railway to be imported duty free. 5, The power of working all coal mines within 30 miles of any part of the line, on payment of a fixed royalty. 6. The privilege of erecting warehouses with a Custom house attached on the Company's premises at Smyrna. 7. The engagement of Government not to grant a conces sion to any competing line. 8. Toe unrestricted power of management. The Directors having a due regard to the present unfavour• able time for launching a new undertaking, kayo deferred, and would still defer, bringing forward the enterprise were it not that the conditions of the Imperial firman limit the date at which operations must be commenced. They have, how ever, determined that the first section of the line only shall receive their immediate attention, so as to obviate the neces sity of making heavy calls during the existing stringency of the money market. The Concessionaries who have deposited at their own risk the caution money, amounting to 24,000/., and who have also defrayed all the exp 'uses since the first negotiations were opened with the Porte, including the coot of detailed plans, sections, and surveys, engineering, travelling, and other ex penses, have agree to accept for their interest in the conces sion, and for all preliminary expenses, 31 per cent. upon the capital, which they will take iu shares or otherwise as may be deemed most advisable for the interests of the Company; and they have also, to show their confidence in the undertaking, subscribed to the capital of the Company to the extent of most important section of 46 mil es f rom 90,000/. in addition. Smyrna, a which it h n it is calculated will yield a most satisfactory return upon the outlay, may be opened in time to bring down the produce of the harvest of 1858. Carefully prepared plans, sections, and estimates of the cost of the line, show that the capital on which the guarantee is given is sufficient for its entire construction, the supply of rolling stock, and the erection of stations, warehouses, and water-side premises. Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be allowed on payments either for, or in anticipation of, calls during the construction of the 'ine. Provision for this item of expenditure has been made in estimating the required capital at 1 ,200,000/. upon which the guarantee of the Turkish Government has been secured. • Applications for shares, with the bankers' receipt for the deposit, to be addressed to Messrs. Mullens and Co., 3, Lom bard -street ; or to the Secretary of the Company, 38, • Cannon-street, City, where form can be obtained, REJECTION OF THE DALLAS-CLAREN DON TREATY. The fact has been widely bruited that the elaren don-Dallas treaty, supplementary to and explana tory of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, after having been cut and carved out of all similitude to its for mer self by the United States Senate, has received the finishing blow from the British Cabinet ; yet up to this hour we have not happened to meet one expression of regret for the circumstance. That it has been received with surprise at Washington we shall be slow to believe ; for a Government which so maims and mutilates a treaty, negotiated with a first-class Power by its representative of the highest grade, has no right to expect that the disfigured re mains will be meekly accepted as if it had under , gone no change. Our Government had a right, through the action of the Senate, to make the alte rations—Great Britain as good a right to reject them. Thus the treaty is demolished ; and if there be any mourners to go about our streets (since Mr. Dallas still traverses in contented dignity those of London) they certainly are too few to raise a dust. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty was, under the circumstances, an international necessity. The Panama road was required; yet capitalists could not be expected to furnish the money therefor if their road, when comple'.ed, was liable to be closed any moment by a war in which any two great com mercial Powers were engaged. That treaty was in main a good one, and reflects credit on the con tracting parties. That the subsequent conduct of either has fully sustained that credit, in view of our naval exploit at Greytown, our Filibusters' ravages in Nicaragua, and Great Britain's seizure of Ruatan, is not so clear. We do not see that entering into new stipulations and complications is the true way to render operative the just and wise provisions of that subsisting treaty. Let our Gc vernment and people resolve never more to covet possessions in Central America, and call on Great Britain to imitate our self-denying me.ekness and moderation. There will then be no need of a sup plementary treaty. But this country ought never to become a great naval power, and ought to re nounce all ambition to vie with England for the mastery of the seas. To maintain su.cii a naval force as would be required to dispute with her the control of the Mexican Gulf alone would send millions of American labourers' children supperless to bed ; and we do not think the prize worth the cost. No; let us open lines of communication ac ross the continent over our own soil—first a wag gon-road, swiftly followed by a telegraphic line and then let us put through a first-class railro ad, to be followed in due season by another and another. Then let the Panama, Nicaragua, Tehauntepec, and Honduras routes, with as many more as specu lation may devise, be improved and used by those who have a taste for such enterprises —our own i people or others. We only insist that no d o llar shall be taken from the treasury of these M uted States to buy or conquer routes from sea to se a through foreign countries until we shall h av e improved at least one of the routes through territory all our own.—New York Tribune. m t: A N:V o E f R B E3 2 I: O ---- i i c N o T l E le L g L e l7:::: a — pp O o x.r int o e : D e , xwa lta i y ue 2 r 3 i . n — t l h n e a convocation holden this morning, Mr. John A.

While the extraordinary increase in the num bers of our people, now acknowledged to be un precedented, fills the workshops and office, as well as the learned professions and lie army and navy, to overflowing, there are but few employments which afford assistance to women. The practice of physic is closed to them, although less than two centuries back the " doctoring" of the provincial inhabitants was almost wholly performed by women ; and in the United States female practi tioners in medicine now freely compete with those of the stronger sex. Since the exercise of the pencil is permitted to ladies, and a considerable amount of artistic talent is known to exist in England among all classes of women, a society has been set on foot by a few ac tive and beneficent persons, with the object of col lecting the works of female artists into an exhibition for sale. This exhibition will open on the Ist of June, and will comprise, along with the produc tions of painters by profession, some contributions from amateurs, not a few of which are understood to possess dist:nguished merit. It is nowise in tended as a rival exhibition to those already before the public, nor do the female artists wish to imply that they consider themselves unfairly treated by the older societies. Into these a fair number of fe male exhibitorl have always been admitted, and their works (which, indeed, have ranked confessedly anion°. the gems of the collection) adequately com mended But a society framed by men, for their own advantage, and necessarily limited in numbers, can not open its doors to the applications of female paint ers without prejudice to the very design of the insti tution. Nor, again, can the Royal Academy exhibi tion serve the purpose of a sale room for water-colour drawing', which are naturally eclipsed by their more powerful neighbours in oil. If it be objected that the effect of a Female Artists' Society will be to swell the amount of mediocrity which is annually thrown upon the town in the shape of drawings and paintings, we would reply that in all departments of art gradations of talent must exist ; that the ex hibitions actually open, such as the Royal Academy and the Society of British Artists in Suffolk-street, contain no small proportion of inferior specimens of painting in various branches ; and that, supposing the Female Artists' Society to produce no greater an amount of mediocrity, compared with works of merit, than the old societies, no partisan of the stronger sex need grudge to the weaker an oppor tunity of entering the field of honourable compe tition. It must not be forgotten by those who deprecate the multiplication of second-rate and third-rate pictures that the power of purchasing works of high quality resides with a comparatively small class. But a taste for art may be agreeably fostered by less ambitious purchases, and the dwellers in the thou sand modest abodes of the metropolis may be en couraged to decorate and enliven their parlours with a flowerpiece or a landscape of only a few pounds value, without being considered to have committed treason against " high art." STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, MAY 23. There was nothing like animation in the market, and the purchase of only 28,000 bales of cotton at Liverpool for consumption is a true indication of the depression which characterises all branches of trade in this district. Constantly a small business is springing up in orders for assortment from vari ous quarters, but there is no bold and healthypulse in any department, because the prices at which goods are produced induce distrust, and buyers are anxious to confine their liabilities within the smal lest compass possible until it is seen what is the probable future course of prices. Manufacturers and spinners are, in the meantime, anxious to keep down the produce of the loom and spindle as much as possible ; and, in addition to thcse at Burnley, a number at Stockport, Bacup, Rochdale, and other places are about to work only 40 hours per week. BIRMINGHAM, MAY 23. The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues steady at last quotations. There seems to be no in clination, either one way or the other, to disturb present prices. The demands from the British North American colonies are improving. Most of the large works are, however, full of orders, and are not anxious to enter upon fresh contracts even at exist ing rates. Mine pigs continue firm at last quota tions, and the consumption increases rather than diminishes. The easier state of the metal market operates fa vourably, although not to any great extent, upon the staple manufactures of Birmingham. Some of the brassfoundry trades exhibit symptoms of im provement, but the brass and copper wire and tube manufactures are still dull and inac- tive. Cabinet brassfoundry is generally pretty brisk, and the smaller makers of domestic wares for the factors, who pay promptly for the material they obtain and use "from hand to mouth," are considerably benefited by the late reduction in the price of copper. The Birmingham manufacturers now in London represent the braziery business of the metropolis as upon the increase. Orders are comparatively good, and, if the prices of metal as at present declared were satisfactorily established, the demands of the entire country trade, it is thought, would be unusually great. Toe manufacturers of tin goods are busy, as are all descriptions of the hollow ware businesses. The consumption of these articles has recently kept the chief establishments of the town and neighbOurhood urgently occupied, as well for home as for foreign requirements. Little new can be said of the general trades and manufactures of Birmingham. As usual, the sate of many fluctuates with the season, when the article manufactured is more or less required by consumers. Although not unusually busy, many, if not most of them, are doing more than an average amount of work, and few are positively or extremely depressed. For japannery there have lately been good orders, and for ornamental productions and jewellery there is a better demand than has occurred during the year. Tha glass manufacture is unquestionably dull, and this is attributed greatly to the continued high prices of materials. The journeyman cabinetmakers in Birmingham are seeking for an advance of 2s. per week in their wages, but at present the demand is made respect fully, and there are no positive indications of a strike. _ The founderies of the surrounding manufactur ing districts are, according to reports, pretty fairly employed, the engine and boiler making businesses being somewhat active. The cut nail manufacture is busy, and at Willenhall the lockmakers are mode rately well engaged. For the general hardware manufactures of the town and neighbourhood it is said that extensive foreign orders have been given out during the week. A great portion of these have been for the South American trade. LEICESTER, MAY 23. The home demand for plain hosiery goods is fiat, and there is not much doing for the United States. The sock and fancy branches are rather more active, and there is also a little doing in the cotton branch. The wool market is tolerably firm. The worsted mills are working short hours. The hosiery trade at Loughborough, Hinckley, and in the country districts continues dull. NORWICH, MAY 23. The manufacturing trade here continues quiet, but with the execution of the autumn orders a re vival may be shortly expected. The c onditi of the shoe trade is still favourable. The operatives of the city are, generally spe LEEDS, well employed. MAY 23. There is no striking change in the condition of the staple trade of this district ; but perhaps, on the whole, a little more firmness has been mani fested during the last few days. Art aher better feeling has been exhibited in the warehouses, and several buyer 3 have been down from London and the provinces, but their purchases have not been on a large scale. Mediums, sound black cloths, and a few fancy goods seem to be most in demand, but the trade in mantle cloths is almost over for the pres ent, and the inquiry for winter goods has not yot sot in. At the cloth-halls this morning trans actions were to a moderate extent, a pretty general feeling which now prevails that there will be no immediate further reduction in the price of the raw .material having given a slight impulse to trade. HALIFAX, MAY 23.. There is a little improvement to report in the state of trade. More inquiry has existed both for wool and yarns, but purchases are made with eavation. The price of wool is maintained. Several onions for yarns have had to be declined, in conse quence of the prices offered being such as to entail a loss on the manufacturer. Rather more has been doinz in pieces, especially in light fabrics for home use, On the whole, the aspect of things is de .. I- S 1 1 4 E. cidedly more favourable than i,t..01 weeks.

Bird-eye diapers in demard, and scarce. Damasks neglected. In Ballymena, on Saturday, there was a good demand at fine prices. Linen Yarn.—The demand for yarn for home consumption is slow, but as a considerable number of shipping orders are still unexecuted stocks are low and prices firm. Flax.—The markets were poorly supplied with flax, in some places not more than a couple of loads or so appearing. It is generally considered that 10-12ths at least of the crop of last season have been disposed of, and that not more than one-sixth remains to supply the wants of spinners until the new crop comes in. FRENCH FINANCIAL SPECULATORS. The failure of M. Place, one of the Directors of the Credit Mobilier, was a Parisian scandal of last year, the details of which, although carefully hushed up, transpired to a sufficient extent to shake the presiige of the body to which he belonged. The public came perforce to the conclusion that a seat in the Direction of that colossal establishment by no means implied habits of sufficient prudence to avoid dangerous speculations and consequent em barrassment ; and what other qualification as an equivalent for the absence of that prudence such Directors as M. Place possessed was' a subject of considerable wonder and mystery. Among the Parisian bankrupts of the last week figures the name of M. Charles Thurneyssen, who is said also to have fled ; and rumour of course swells the amount of his liabilitif3 to somethins enormous. . Whatever the real sum may be, there is no doubt that this failure is of a most unfortunate character, from the near relationship existing between the • bankrupt and two of the magnates of the Credit Mobilier. Had the sum involved been moderate, it is to be supposed that they would have made even large sacrifices to avoid the personal scan dal, mid the • reaction of that scandal on the Credit Mobilier. Nor is the effect on the Money Market in Paris likely to be unimportant, from the evi dently unsound position of that market, with a vast amount of stock of every kind seeking permanent in vestment. It is clearly a settled thing in France that matters are to be represented couleur de rose, or not at all. The Press, which ought to be the enlightener of the public in finatci al matters, has to avery great extent been demoralised by the gagging system adopted by Louis Napoleon, and from sheer lack of useful employment has become in a manner the more organ of the Bourse—and, what is worse, not an independent organ. Irrespective of the weekly papers specially devoted to commercial and finan cial matters, no small proportion of the Daily Press of Paris has become the property of one or other of the associations of capitalists formed for the same • object as the Credit Mobilier, and trusting like it to make lucky ventures in the ;old mine of pre miums. The tone of these journals is consequently such as may furnish a stimulus to speculation, rather than open the eyes of the public to the truth ; for the return of the Parisians to their senses, and to a use instead of an abuse of the facilities for ' monetary operations offered by the Bourse, would be the ruin of these institutions, and would reduce to extremely small dimensions the circulation of some of the Paris Journals. A more convincing proof of the unhealthy condi tion of the French Money Market cannot be adduced thanthe tone in which the French Press has (Focussed the very simple question of the renewal of the pri vilege of the Bank of France. The propriety of in creasing the capital was apparent. The transactions of the Bank and its note circulation has vastly in creased ; and it was but reasonablethat the capital, which in reality formed the guarantee fund for the creditors of theestablishment, should be somewhat in creased also. As regards the public it is clear that in fixingthisnew capital by an investment in Govern ment stock, theguarantee would assumeitsmost effec tive character; but the Bourse world, represented by the Press, were clamorous for the employment of the four millions of new capital in loans on stock and shares. While it was thought that such a des tination would be given to it, prices rose, and there was a general desire for the adoption of the law ; but as soon as it was hinted that it was not to be placed at the disposal of the Bourse, a complete in difference to the measure succeeded. Men clearly feel that this state of speculative tension is perilous, but have not the courage—probably not the power, to remedy the evil. And in the face of these evi dences of an overcharged market for securities, the railway companies are about to issue more, to the value of several millions, while France is largely interested in all sorts of foreign schemes, and has even undertaken to set Spain financially on her feet by means of joint stock enterprise. It has also taken Austria under its wing ; and the Credit Mo bilier is godfather to all these undertakings, which }Ave clearly over-weighted the financial powers of France. But as though this were not enough, the most gigantic project of all, that of civilising Russia by vast railway reseau, has been also undertaken, and, so far as appearances go, is likely to prove a millstone round the neck of the Credit Mobilier. We have said that the press of Paris is to a great extent in the hands of Bourse capitalists, who, of course, seek to use it for the furtherance of their own designs. Hitherto the Credit Mobilier, trust ing to its general influence for a furtherance of views in which so many found a collateral profit, has not, as Mires and others have done, established any organ of its own. But there are symptoms that it has found it necessary at last to have recourse to this sort of puffing; and the pages of the periodicals, great and small, have been absorbed by articles on the Russian scheme until the public is weary of it. Pamphlet after pamphlet has appeared ; re prints of articles in the higher class periodicals— such as the "Revue des deux Monde& —have been issued; but all with little effect hitherto. In like manner the Spanish schemes of the Monster Com pany have been preached up in the periodical we have named. When we thus find that the Credit establishment which was to do such wonders is com pelled to have recourse to the same manoeuvres as its more insignificant followers, we are naturally inclined to suspect that its glory is departing. The failures of Place and Thurneyssen show that there are vast risks, as well as vast profits, attached to the system of which they and their friends were the originators and high priests ; and no sane man doubts that any return of the calamities which have recently tried France so severely will bring about a financial convulsion the consequences of which will be terrible. Three-fourths of the labouring population of France is engaged in agricultural pursuits ; but ever since the inauguration of the present Bourse and bayonet regime, the Government has systema tically encouraged the creation of joint stock com panies for commercial purposes, which have had the double effect of withdrawing capital from agri culture, and of fostering the habit of premium hunting. The result has been that the agricultural districts, save those in the vicinity of the capital, are becomingdepopulated. The labourers, attracted by the hopes of employment on the public works undertaken in the large towns, have flocked thither; the agricultural production of the country is ra pidly declining, and the agriculturists are becom ing more and more impoverished. The State has steadily increased its unproductive expenditure, and while the landholders bear their portion of the additional burthens, they do not share in the bene fits of the outlay. All France is taxed in order that the population of the department of the Seine may purchase the necessaries of life at a lower rate than they naturally command in the market ; and a high scale of expenditure is stimulated among that population by the distribution of fabulous sums in wages, which attract workmen from every part of the empire, under the delusion that high wages mean increased facilities for sub sistence, and under the pressure of poverty arising from the absence of agricultural enterprise in their own deyartments. The Credit Foncier, founded to supply the agriculturist with capital on moderate terms, is practically a failure. The notaries through out France, whose chief business was connected. with loans on mortgage, have no employment ; and, in fact, agriculture cannot compete with the Bourse in its demands for capital, and has been suffered to go to the wall. The great and rapidly created for tunes of Paris are one of the great per ils of the day. The mode in which they have bee n accumu lated furnishes examples of a most pernicious cha racter, and examples which unfortunately are too readily followed. Those possessin g peculiar quali ties and certain advantages of position have great chances of success on the Bourse ; but with others. forming the majority, the odds are all i n thattheu scocnh trary direction. It is fo r this reason failures as we have hm above noted create an anxiety in the minds of Englisen, convinced that a vast mass of unsound speculation, doubtful ostensible wealth, and much real misery co-exist in France, and fearing consequently lest every failure of al should prove to be his first move isnpetchllat i i sfi o n r ancial house of car d s towards its m gr e e n a t t destruction. —Daily News.
