I am always glad to avail myself of any opportunity, however far hetween,or of any notice, hawever short, to pay attention to the business and to the furtherance of the York Yeoman School. With the continued support of the public, I do trust we shall make this institution, however small in its beginning, corn mensurate with the wealth and importance of the county to which we belong. Ido not know that I need allude to any other topic touching the affairs of the York Yeoman School, or that I have anything myself to offer beyond what will be fully supplied to you by the report which has been read. In case any further information should be necessary, our ex cellent se cre t ary , M r. Reed, will b e a bl e to furnish all that is required.—(Applause.) With respect to the subject of education on a yet wider scale, con• sidering the definite proposals which have been put forward by h er M a j esty ' s Government, considering the degree of excitement, and lam sorry to say of difference which they have produced, it will:hardly be considered ou t o f t i me and p l ace if I t rou bl e this meeting with a few observations.—(Applau se.) II admit that th e matter does not str i ct l y per t ain to our proper business. Ours is a purely voluntary under taking; it has proceeded thus far by voluntary con- , tributions and voluntary efforts, and I certainly do not see ho w , i n the nature of things, it can ever ex pect to b e supporte d or exten d e d otherwise. lam in hopes that, on that account, we, the founders and friends of the York Yeoman School, do not grudge any assistance w hi c h t h e na ti on al liberality may fur nish to those portions of the community whose desti tution of the means of education is more hopeless and more unfriended.—(Applause.) I do not pre tend that the scheme in question is perfect either in its principles or in its details. If I had myself the power, which some seem almost disposed to at tribute to the Privy Council, of issuing an arbitrary edict, without reference either to Par liament or people, I believe I should prefer a scheme which both did more and did less ; which, on the ene hand, would have carried edu cation more extensively into all our towns and villages ; and, on the other hand, would have ab stained more completely from any reli g i ous inter ference. I think it is not a time to shri n k f rom pos sible misconception in the plain avo wa l o f op i n i on, but I confess that increasing experience induces me to think that the State had better d o more f or secular, and less for religious education. In the one I think it clearly in its element, in the other it risks getting out of it. But are not individ ua l s b oun d to act upon their individual opinions ? Certainly, if they can give effect to them ; if not, the dictate of common sense is to do the next best thing. I doubt whether the proposal that the State should give its attention exclusively to secular, without any regard to religious education, would have found accep t ance in this room. I am sure it would not with the country at large.—(Applause.) Indeed, it is easy to imagine a few of the soft things which would have been said about us if we had produced such a plan. We have then proposed a scheme w hi c h , if i t is dis tinguished by an ything, it is by an anxious, scrupulous, I think almost an exaggerated deference for the reli• gious convictions and susceptibilities of all the parties with whom it can be brought into contact; it respects the liberty of religious conscience with a strictness which is not even to be found in the educa tions sys - ems of the United Statea. It takes what it find,—it invents no regulation, it imposes no check of its own, though I may myself regret that it does not prevent others from doing so. But then we hear, that though there is no prof esse d, an d even no in tended favouritism, yet virtually and pra ct i ca ll y t h ere will be a good deal. Now I have a very sincere respect—and more, I have a real affection—for many cf the objectors. They have, in their day, done very much for education, and no one would'regret more sincerely than I should if any single means of use• fulness in their hands should be stunted or crippled. I own I have little fear of it. Where I differ with them mainly is, in being satisfied with the education we have amongst us—with its quantity or its quality. —(Applause.) I believe (differing from them) that its quantity is miserably deficient—perhaps not in their own neighbourhoods—perhaps not, compara tively, over our own broad Yorkshire, but over the width of England, and that a great part of its quality is insufferably bad.—(Applause.) I believe this to be the impression of enlightened and im partial travellers who have passed through the country and examined this subject with an in telligent and inquiring eye. Can any one read a book like that of Mr. Horace Mann's educational tour through Europe without a humiliating sense of shame? What is there in our England which should make us inferior in this respect to the United States, to Saxony, to Holland, to Scotland ? I have come here without statistics ; they may compute the numbers receiving e d ucat i on, th o ugh I believe that would not make out their case, but I am content with " the evidence o f w h at I see and hear . l am con t en t with what pas ses at every petty sessions, where the far greater p ar t o f the fine grown-up young men and women can non e o f t h em write t h e i r ow n names. I am content with the details made out by chaplains and governors of pr i sons, and I cannot res i s t th e convic tion that th e e d ucation of the mass o f our working men and w omen, and of that fearful multitude which goes by th e name of the poor, scanda lously d e fi c i ent.—(Applause.) , is glaringly, Then, when in such a state of thi ngs th e l eaders an d orn aments of deno minations and co mmun i t i es come f o rward and say— • You are interfering with our labourers, you are interrupting our progress, you ar e weakening our influence, you are subtracting from our numbers"-- sorry as I should be—incredulous as I am—yet when such things are put forth as argument, I am forced to say I really cannot much care. —(Applause.) We are Churchmen here. It is thought that Church schools will ga i n by the new arran gement; if so, it will be because they me et it with answer ing efferta—(Applau se )—b u s I disclaim any such grounds for our proceedings. It is because I know that out of the pale of the Church, beyond the limits of the denominations, there is a vast destitute, neglected mass, festering in our streets and alleys, with every si g ht an d sound of contamination choking the accesses to every sense, without any sense of duty to earth or he aven — upon whom no word ofinstruc tion ever falls —upon whom no breath of love ever G settles—those unc l a i med by Lam b et h, unknown to eneva, unconvert e d b y R ome , I would in v it e , I almost wish I could compel to come in. —(Cheers.) I do not so much care to which fold, so that there was a hope of teaching them that man is their brother, and that " God is love."—(Renewed applause.) Then there is another class I would for a moment allude to as specially connected with this proposal. Besides those who are to be taught, there are those who teach. Both seem to me occasionally rather overlooked in the heat of the competition which is carried on between the supporters of opposing sys tems. Now I feel tempted sometimes to wish that I could gather together the teachers themselves, the actual schoolmasters of some of the most successful and vaunted schools of the different denominations— for it is, after all, upon them, and not upon the wealthy patron or the respectable minister, that the main part of the burden and of the glory of the successful teaching must rest ; and having them together, in a place apart, I should like to put it to them whether they were so satisfied with the amount of remuneration . they at present receive, with the place they hold . in society, with the supe riority of the advantages it confers to what they might station, that they some the railway schools obtain as a clerk in some opulent warehouse, or as a think superintendent the managers in rejecting the offer . of additional remuneration, ad ditional help, additional distinction, which the State is solicitous to offer them..--(Applause.) The wants and deficiencies at . which 1 have . now imperfectly hinted are those which I conceive the scheme of the at of Government would go a great Way, as far as it can go at present, to supply and remedy.—(Applause.) have not been able to refer to a speech which I made in this city on one of these occasions, a year and a half ago ; but I remember that I mentioned, as de serving the immediate attention of th e country, those specific points—the insufficient numb er o f schools, the inadequate salaries of schoolma sters, and the pro priety of giving them some retiring pensio n i n t h e i r advanced age. This was when I was neither a mem ber of the Government or of the Legislature ; and as they are the precise points embraced in the recent minutes, I have the satisfaction . of thinking that I have only become a . party, in . company with my col leagues, to provisions. for which . 1 had been anxious in an unofficial and private ca pacity. I will just add thus much. I have more than once referred to the manner in which those measures bear upon the Church of England. Now, it has not always been ray happiness to concur in the courses which the Church has t h ought it ri g ht t o a d opt with reference to education. A t times I have thought it too exclusive, at times too ti merous. I re joice to witness the attitude she has assumed during the recent discussions: I presume not to sound a ll the moti ves in which it may originate, nor to di v i ne all the re s ults it may aim at ; but I see that she is putting f o rward no exclusive pretensions; that she is not seeking to keep back . from othe rs w h at she is willing to compete for with them —and let th e best fri en d s an d most faithful children of th e Ch urch feel well assured that she ss not deriv e h a lf th e credit from her long prescription, her wide posses sions, her august architecture, no, not even from Wine—Barcelona (last sale), 85 milreis and 50 milreis per pipe; Sicilian, 88 milreis per large pipe ; Lisbon, 130 to 155 milreis.

SALE OF ADVOWSONS.—Yesterday a sale took Rhine at the Auction Mart, by the Messrs. Smith and !skin, of the advowsons of the rectory of Woodcbester and the vicarage of Trocester, which were situated within a few miles of Stroud, Gloucestershire. They were per petual advowsons, with the right of next and all future presentations, and they adjoined Woodehester Park. The income of the living, subject to the rates or tithes, was estimated at about 4654 per annum, and there were attached to it above 24 acres of valuable glebe land. The population was about 900. It was knocked down for 3,2001., but was stated to be bought in. The income of the living of the vicarage of Trocester was estimated at about 3601., exclusive of surplice fees, Easter offerings, &c., and the population was about 320. The land tax was redeemed, and the parochial rates very light. It was sold for 1,5201. THE WEST INDIAN SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE IRISH. —The following is an extract of a letter received yester day by the Lord Mayor from the Secretary to the Com missioners for dispensing Relief Grants, Barbadoes:— " I have the honour to inform your Lordship that the Legislature of this colony, commiserating the deep distress of their fellow-subjects in Ireland and Scotland, and not unmindful of the liberal aid rendered by the people of the united kingdom to the inhabitants of Bar badoes in the times of their distress, has granted the sum of 9,600 dollars (2,046/. 18s. 2d.) for the relief of the distressed in the above countries." This, we have the pleasure of adding, is independent of the sum of 3601. 12s. 4d., also received by the Lord Mayor, from a committee of private gentlemen in Barbadoes. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE HOME OFFICE, CHARING. CROSS.—Yesterday afternoon, while a number of men were employed at the Home Office, Charing cross, which is now being attached to the Treasury, an accident of a most deplorable character, and indeed which it is feared will be attended with fatal consequences, oc curred to a labourer named Day Hurly, aged 30, who, it appears, between the hours of two and three, was standing at the foot of the scaffold, when a large brick suddenly fell upon him, having fallen from a height of upwards of fifty feet. The poor fellow was struck on the apex of the head, and, it is needless to add, felled in stantly to the ground, and from the peculiar position in Which he was standing at the time, he Las sustained, be sides a fracture of the skull, a broken arm, and a dislo cation of the collar bone, with other injuries. He was placed on a shutter in a perfectly insensible condition, and removed as quickly as possible to the Charing-cross Rospital, and was immediately attended by Mr. Watts, one of the house-surgeons, but so serious are his injuries that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. FIRE IN OLD FISH-STREET.—Last evening, be tween four and five o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out at 22, Old Fish-street, Upper Thames •street, in the occupation of Mrs. Ann Holt, box and packing-case maker. It was caused by a spark flying from the grate amongst some shavings, which set a large compartment on the ground floor, used as a workshop, counting. house, and store-room, in a general blaze. In the course of a few minutes several engines arrived at the scene, and although by the period that they could be got into operation the flames were rushing through the windows with great fury, by dint of great perseverance the fire men succeeded in confining the damage to the premises in which it originated. Fortunately the property de stroyed was insured in the Phcenix fire-office. PROJECTED PUBLIC DINNER TO Ma. Fox MAULE. —Tbe town council having agreed on Monday to invite the representative of the city to a public dinner during the Easter recess, a deputation of the magistrates, con sisting of the Lord Provost and Bailie Wallace, went up to Birnam Lodge on Tuesday. The invitation was most graciously received, but as Mr. Mettle informed them he was to set off the same evening to resume his official duties in London, it v. as agreed to defer the entertain ment till after the close of the Parliamentary ses-ion. Mr. Manic took the opportunity of stating, in case there should he any intention among his constituents to call a public meeting on the subject of the Government scheme of education, that he thought it should be delayed till after Lord ohn Russell's promised statement some day next week, which the Right Hon. Gentleman antici pated would contain propositions calculated to remove the objections of his friends, the Dissenters.—Perthshire Courier. TROTTING.—THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS MATC 11. "—This much talked of affair, which, like others of great promise, has ended in small performance, was brought to issue yesterday, over ten miles of the western road, c ommenced about a mile on the London side of Reading, and endin g nesr Maidenhead. The day was windy and toe course dusty ; and as we have not yet got far into April, and the wisdom of our ancestors has affirmed a Peck of March dust to be worth a king's ransom, it is a Pity some of those who attended the match had not a market wherein to dispose of the flying particles where- With their beavers and broadcloth were loaded. The Mare chosen for the task of beating the Manchester horse's time (which, it may be recollected was thirty five minutes four seconds in performing the ten miles) Was called " The Wonder," and would certainly have been " no wonder " if' she could not trot the distance in the time set her by the " Conquering Hero." Mr. Caton ;was in the pigskin, and he started the animal steadily, improving his pace considerably in the third, fourth, and fifth miles, at which point fifteen minutes fifty-five se conds had been consumed. There were a good many SPectators of the start, but few at the finish, which was reached in thirty-four minutes ten seconds, thus beating the Manchester time by fifty - -four seconds. The animal, although no "Phenomenon mare," evidently possesses good pace and stamina, and was judiciously ridden. STEAM-BOAT ACC IDENT.—Yesterday evening, be tween five and six o'clock, as the Cricket (one of the tenidnges) yboats running between Hungerford and London r was proceeding down the river, she ran against a barge with such violence as to break one of her paddle boxes, and do other damage to the vessel. She was in consequence unable to proceed on her journey. A man who had lived much in society said that his acquaintances would fill a cathedral, but that the pulpit Would hold his friends. Exchange—Transactions to the amount of about 2,000/. at 29d. and aboitt 10,0001. at 29kd. Stock of codfish about 300 barrels, and the article is much wanted. (Translation.) Sisal, Feb : 24.

Sir,—lndebted for the preservation of our lives to the noble and disinterested conduct of the captain and chief officer of the Spanish brig Emilio, to whom we have pub hely joined with yourself in writing the letter of which a copy is enclosed, we feel anxious that such services should be made known to those who may be influential enough to bestow some further gratifying mark of public approval. Under these circumstances, being ignorant of the course to be pursued, and wishing to avoid any troublesome appeal, we would gladly depute to you, on our behalf, the attempt to bring these circumstances under the notice of her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. If, in such cases, it is not unusual to take this step, we feel sure that the present occasion is one which would well deserve that mark of favour which we seek to obtain for it. We need hardly say how gratified we should be were our wish to be complied with on the part of the Foreign office, or how thankful we should feel that any other of those public bodies which are in the habit of bestowing their approbation upon cases similar to the present one should be made acquainted with the circumstances.

U 5 THE LOSS OF THE TWEED. The following letters respecting this melancholy event will sufficiently explain themselves : Sisal, February 19. We, the undersigned, captain and officers of the royal mail steam-packet Tweed, on behalf of ourselves and of the ship's company, and we also, passengers by that vessel, wrecked on the shoal of the Alacranes, the morn ing of the 12th inst., are desirous of expressing in the strongest terms our heartfelt gratitude to Captain Don Bernardino Camp, and to Don Guillermo Villaverde, chief officer of the Spanish brig Emilio. Under the blessing of Almighty God, they have, by their noble and disinterested conduct, been the means of preserving seventy-nine souls from a most horrible fate, and, in making the attempt, have not hesitated to encounter every risk. From the first moment that their aid was sought it was most generously given, and in the execution of their purpose they have displayed the promptest and most skilful judgment. We have, each and all of us, individually, endeavoured to express our deep feeling of thankful gratitude to our preservers. We now publicly join in the attempt with a hope that others, baside ourselves, may pay their tribute of admira tion to the successful accomplishment of a most generous and humane action.

Campeachy. Sir,—As the agent for ".Lloyd's," appointed by the managing committee, as soon as I was made acquainted last evening, by my correspondence from Madrid, with the unfortunate loss of the steamer Tweed, on the Alacranes, I induced several parties to send vessels to give assistance to the passengers and crew, and to :ave the quicksilver which it was reported she had on board. Captain John Verde is going on board the schooner Constante for the said purpose, and I feel confident will he useful, being an able seaman, and very intelligent. At the same time, and in the same vessel, I send dlr. Thomas Casasus, one of my clerks, who may be of service to you and of benefit to the underwriters, and who will prevent anything from being misplaced. By a vessel that sails this evening for New Orleans, I give notice to Lloyd's Committee of the unfortunate fate of the Tweed. If you think proper to send h4clt this schooner Con stante for provisions or any , :;r.titr purpose, you may mention it to Captain Verde and Mr. Casanus, and arrange with Captain Verde the terms. I have recommenced to Captain Verde to be obliging and attentive. Other crafts are preparing also to depart for the same purpose—of saving the cargo. There is no English consul here, but there is one in Laguna—Mr. William Johnson, who is at the same time the managing partner of my house there; and if you think proper to enter into communication with him, I will forward your letters with pleasure. Any assistance you may require will be more easily procured here than in Sisal, and, being in my power, will be gladly ren dered by me.—l remain, dear Sir, your obedient servant, JOAQUIII GUTIERREZ DE ESTRADA. Captain Parsons, of the British steamer Tweed. P.S.—As I am not certain whether this letter will find you in Sisal or on the Alacranes Reef, I send a copy to the latter place, addressed to you, or in your absence to your agent. If you require it, I have a suitable vessel to carry the correspondence to Vera Cruz. Sisal, Feb. 20. Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th inst., and in reply have to inform you that the royal mail steam-ship Tweed, under my command, was wrecked on the Alacranes on the morning of the 12th inst., at 3h. 30m. A.m., and in thirty minutes after she struck parted in midships and immediately went to pieces. I now beg to return you my . most grateful thanks for your kindness and prompt assistance in send ing several vessels for the protection of the passengers, officers, and crew of the unfortunate Tweed. The Tweed, on sailing from the Havannab, which was on the 9th, had on board 1,115 bottles of quicksilver— the greater part of this may be recovered ; the ship's chest, which contained from 7001. to 8001. sterling, be- lorging to the company, may also be recovered. - I am not aware of anything else, except luggage, &c. I am e nfident that no part of the machinery could ever be niade available again without great expense to the company, allowing it could be recovered, which the chief engineer is very doubtful of. I have pointed out to Mr. Casasus the spot on the reef where the Tweed was wrecked, and sincerely hope he may be fortunate in his endeavours towards the recovering of the quicksilver, &c. I have held a consultation with the officers under my command, and they all agree with me, that nothing can be done towards benefiting the company; I therefore leave the whole of the arrangement in your hands for the benefit of the underwriters.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE PARSONS, Late Commander of the Tweed. To J. G. de Estrada, Esq., Campeachy. Sisal, Feb. 20. Gentleman,—We who, by the mercy of God, in common with yourselves, have been delivered from the prospect of a lingering death, are anxious before we part to bear testimony to the personal exertions you have made during the very tryirg period of our shipwreck.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT AN ENGINEERS.— Yesterday an accident, attended with very serious consequence s, happened to a man named Joseph Paul, aged 59, resid ing at New-street, Deptford. He was in the service of Messrs. Penn and Co., the extensive engineers of Green wich ; and, whilst walking along that part of the pre mises used in the boiler department, with a heavy load of iron on his shoulder, he fell into a deep hole, lie was raised up, and found to have received a fracture of the collar bone, fractured ribs, and various contusions on his body.

WESTMINSTER COURT OF SEWERS,--4. general Court of the Commissioners of Sewers for the city and liberty of Westminster was held yesterday, at the Sewers Court, Greek-street, Soho-square; Capt. George Bague, R.N., in the chair. There was a very full at tendance of Commissioners.

This report has occupied nearly twelve months in its preparation. After some formal business had been disposed of, the Court adjourned. THE GOVERNMENT PLAN OF EDUCATION.—.MAN.. CHESTER, FRIDAY.—This morning a public meeting of the friends of the Government plan of education was held in the Town Hall, King-street.

(From the London New Price Current of April 9.) SUGAR.—To-day prices suffered a further depression for raw Sugar, as the quantity brought to market was more than the trade stood in need of, and merchants were willing to sell, on account of the increasing value of money, arid the heavy supplies of Sugar still to come in. The private operations in all sorts of West India Muscovado were upon a small scale only, and did not exceed 80 hhds, &c., although there wt re sellers at a further decline in the value, making the fall for the week is per cwt. A public sale of 127 hhds 7 tres of Barbadoes went off with heaviness, and at a reduction on the rates of Wednesday's sale of 6d to Is. REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were operated in with caution by the home trade, although • lower rates can be obtained for further delivery at 35s 6d were ßoiide a d ec C ep ro u S d h P ed per cwt. The su toc ga s ri l: is l on itoe t w h a e n i es t n e c d r ,a s t e of ldf;trsll qua lityrttsos MAURITIUS.—This afternoon two parcels of Mauritius Sugar, amounting to 9,315 bags, were submitted to public competition, but the trade evinced little desire to operate, and nearly the whole was taken in at the former value. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at auction amounted to 3,616 bags ; nearly the whole found buyers, but at a fall in prices of 6d to Is. Madras is heavy of disposal, and 808 bags at sale were nearly all taken in. FORElGN.—lmpoxt,rs of Foreign Sugar have been de 1-irous to sell this week, and submitted to lower prices for all descriptions ; still the home trade have operated with caution by privaV , treaty, and the market has been plentifully supplied, especially with the better qualities. Privately there are sellers of white, brown, and yellow Havannab at a fall on former rates of 6d to Is per cwt ; still few buyers are to be met with. For refining under bond the purchases made have been trifling in all sorts of Foreign Sugar, although there are sellers at a reduc • tion on former rates. Fer exportation there are few buyers, although merchants are willing to sell, and re duced their prices 6d to Is per cwt ; still the private operations have not excee d e d 1400 chests of good andAt fine yellow Havannab, at 28s to 28s 6d per cwt. auction 2,189 bags of Pernambuco were, however, all sold, the duty to be allowed. MOLASSES.—This afternoon at public sale 65 hhds of Be per ngal cwt. Molasses t were sold at 2 2 5, and better quality at 24s COFFEE.—This afternoon 27 casks of Jamaica Coffee of the new crop at public sale sold at prices in favour of the buyers. For good ordinary Native Ceylon the market is in a dull state at 41s, but for fine ordinary there appears to be a better demand at 43s to 43s 6d per cwt. TEA.—Altbough the arrivals have again been large, still nonehas been submitted to public competition; but by private treaty the m ar k et is plentifully supplied with all kind= of black and green. The purchases made in the low and better s orts o f Congou have been to a small extent, notwithstanding the moderate rates that exist. Fine and good sorts of ()Teen are held for the previous worth; but the amount of business transacted has been of little moment. Of low and mid qualities, the trade have been induced to take large parcels, owing to the low rates, at which there are sellers. RICE.—To-day further advanced rates being wanted for Bengal Rice operated against business, and nearly the whole of the sound of 4,080 bags at public sale vas taken in at 19s 6d for fine white bright pearl, but the damaged sold at 18s to 19 s f or first class, and at 1 is 6d to 17s 6d for other sorts. SPICES.—To-day Mace met with attention, and 11 cases of Penang at auction were sold at stiff rates. 31 casks of Dutch limed Nutmegs, for exportation only, partly sold at lower rates. SPIRITS.—The arrivals of all descriptions of Rum are still exceeding the deliveries, and no improvement -- - having taken place in the demand, prices are still droop.. ing. Although there are sellers of Exist I. dia. at love( r rates, still there are few buyers, and 3: 2d to 3s 3d is the value of proof Calcutta with certificate ; at auction 167 casks of Madras were taken in :t these rates. For Le( ward Island the orders are unusually small, and 33 4d to 3s 5d is about the value of proof strength, but if parcels were to be pressed for sale, these prices could nut be obtained. Jamaica has been operated in with much caution, by exo , rters and the home trade, and it is difficult to give accurate quotations. Demerara is dull of sale. There are sellers of all kinds of Rum under present rates_ I here is still scarcely any desire evinced to purchase Rum for Ireland or Scotland. Holders of Brandy are ) et desirous to realise, there having been further arrivals, still the demand has been limited for home use and ex port. Geneva is not much wanted for exportation, and prices are on the decline. Fine for home use is little ' wanted. For British Corn Spirits the demand is on the increase. Gin is in good (It mend. COCHINEAL—This afternoon there was not much de sire evinced to operate at the public sales, which con sisted of 260 bags of Honduras silvers, when not above a third part sold at a fail on former rates of Id per lb. OILS.--Although Linseed Oil can be obtained upon further reduced terms . still the home demand has been limited. For forward delivery there are sellers at 265. to 26s 3d. Cocoa Nut Oil is held for the former worth. For Rape Seed Oil a good demand exists, but prices are not so firm. Olive has been only in moderate request, and there appears to be more disposition on the part of holders to realize. For Palm the demand is on the increase ; still prices do not improve. Lard Oil is not much wanted, and can be obtained at 49s to 48s. Cod Oil can be obtained at 271 to 271 lOs per tun ; still buyers have operated with caution. Seal has been sparingly dealt in. Southern is little wanted. For Sperm the market is firm, the demand active, and the supply small. TALLow.—Holders of Russian on the spot are still desirous .to realise, and have further reduced their prices 6d to 9d per cwt ; still the purchases made have been limited. For delivery in the last three months of the year, there are sellers at 465, but few buyers are to be met with. Home made Tallow on the spot met with a slow sale, and prices ar e go i ng d own. ' For other sorts of Tallow the market is in a dull state, and prices are on the decline. Deliveries have again become small. Prices are much above those of this time last year. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, APRIL 6.—The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, the 3d April, was 36f. 5c., and that of rye, 26Z 14c. per hectolitre. These prices are rather lower than those of the pre ceding week, viz., 49c. per hictolitre on wheat, and 51c. on rye. The Minister of the Interior has just addressed to the governors of the provinces the following circular : " I think it necessary to call your attention to a question which is of great importance under the pre sent circumstances. It has been observed that the disease which for ten years has affected the potatoes, attacks, in particular, the late:species, which may pro bably be accounted for by the fact that wet especially contributes to propagate this disease. "It appears to me, Sir, that it would be use ful to direct the attention of the farmers to this fact, and to point eut to them at the same time how advantageous it would be to them, consi dering the present high prices of provisions, greatly to extend the cultivation of early potatoes. They would thus have the hope of enjoying a - double advantage—first, their crop would not be ravaged by the disease, if it should unhappily acpear again ; in the second place, they would profit, by the high price of provisions, to sell their stock at prices which they would probably not be able to obtain at later dates." A letter from Stutgard, of the Ist of April, says, at the end of March such a quantity of enow fell in the environs that the mails were considerably delayed by A French journal, in one of its last numbers, states that a general inquiry has been instituted in D enmar k to ascertain the quant i ty o f corn in that country, and that, in consequence of that inquiry, the exportation of corn will be prohibited. A general inquiry has in faet been made, but with great precaution, in order not to alarm the people. It results from the report that there is not only a quantity of corn sufficient for the consumption of the country, but that some pro vinces, for instance Langeland and the Duchies,•have corn which may be exported. As for the prohibition of exportation, it was indeed talked of for a moment, but, on the representation of very competent persons, this measure was given up, which would have been attended with great inconvenience. The Cologne Gazette says, the steps which have been taken of applying to several states on the banks of the Rhine for the suspension of the duties on the river, in favour of vessels laden with corn, flour, and other provisions, have been favourably received by the Grand Duchy of Baden, by France, the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and the Duchy of Nassau ; and it is affirmed that Prussia, Bavaria, and the Nether lands, are likewise well inclined to adopt a measure of this kind. The Swabian Mercury has a letter from Limberg, which gives a melancholy picture of the state of Western Galicia. The wounds which the insurrec tion of the peasants inflicted on the country are very far from being healed. In the circles of Tarnow, Sandow, and Wadowice, a number of villag es are found, in which many houses are empty, desolate, and forsaken, where the fields ar e scarce ly half cultivated ; and even now there is little prospect of their being so, though the Govern ment takes all possible measures and causes the peasants to be supplied with corn seed. Many peasants seem to have lost all attachment to their native c L o i u m n b tr e y rg , i a ts n e d lf a h r as e l i ea nd d e i e n d g a ga v i a n ga ed bo i n n d, an d i is m s a o t l i u o t n e a n life d . arewealth, a t a b l e l c a a d u e s q e u m a t a e n may alandownershweihrosreecsii and this for fe ar o f t h e peasants, for theredrceamnciesstan greatcethere,t fermentationlin many villages, and the peasants, ren dered savage and driven to despair by necessity, could only be restrained by military powers. Under these circumstances, it must be a great risk if foreign corn dealers should:purchase a great quantity:of wheat and send it down the Vistula, as they would be in danger, in case of a sudden insurrection, of having their corn seized and carried off. PRAGUE, APRIL I.—The Archduke Stephen re turned to Prague the day before yesterday. The Bohemian Gazette of to-day accompanies this infor mation with the following words, which excite not a little attention :—" It is generally hoped that his Highness will not give up the government of our country." His Majesty the Emperor, considering the present want of work and the great distress, has granted an extraordinary sum for the improvement of roads about Prague, among which that of the road from Prague to Konigrual appears to be the most neces sary, as the communication is always impeded during the inundations and the breaking up of the ice.

Tancred ' a i r ts ead d y isse b n e is all this, and, in truth,something more. Its writer has borrowed for a season the pencil of Roberts, and become a gorgeous painter. Characters, too, are admirably hit off. Mr. Disraeli exhibits a master hand in his delinea tion of Fakredeen, the most elaborately drawn character in the work. The first volume deals entirely with Eng land and the English, but makes the reader blush for the hollowness and folly that crowd into the corners of the little island. We could fill our columns with smart saying and happy hits, but we leave them to be sought in their natural home." SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETT. -- Yesterday a quar terly Court of the Governors of this Society, for the reliet of sick and diseased seamen of all nations in the port of London, on board the Dreadnought Hospital ship, moored off Greenwich, was held at the office of the Society, in King William-street, City; John Labou chere, Esq., in the chair. The report stated that during the past quarter 724 new cases had been received, and the number of patients for the past year relieved were 3,941, making a total number since its establishment in 1821, of 79,585 individuals. The financial statement exhibited a steady progressive improvement. Amongst the recent supporters of the society were his Majesty the King of Hanover, an annual contributor of 20L; his Excellency Keying, the Imperial High Commissioner to the Emperor of China, a benefaction of 1871. 10s.

Carter, at the Duke's Head, Lemon-street, St. Saviour's, South wark, on the body of John Morris, aged sixty-three years, late of No. 15, Otange-street, Gravel-lane, who died under the following circumstances :—The deceased was storekeeper, in the employ of Messrs. Grissell and Co., ironfounders, of Eagle Wharf, Hoxton, New Town. On the morning of Tuesday week the deceased was in the act of descending a staircase from one of the upper store rooms, when he was seiz d with a vertigo, or swimming in the head, and fell to the bottom. A noise was heard by one of the clerks in the counting-house, who ran to the deceased, and found him lying on his back quite insersible. and bleeding from the ears. He was seen by Mr. Baker, a surgeon, who found that he had received severe internal injury in the head, and two scalp wounds. He suggested his removal home, where he became much worse, although attended daily by Mr. Olding, the surgeon, of High-street, Borough, who ren dered every possible aid until his death, which took place on Tuesday last. Mr. Oldng attributed his death to laceration of the membranes of the brain, together with congestion, evidently the result of a fall. The occurrence appeared to be clearly accidental; the jury, therefore, returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The oldest and most celebrated dame of Eton, Mrs. Angelo, has just expired, in the 88th year of her age. For nearly 70 years the deceased lady was nonnected with this great public establishment Paid.
