The total exports this season were 1,102,000, against 845,000 last. The tables show that a falling off has taken place at last in the receipts at the ports as compared with last season ; this occurrence has so long been predicted as to happen "next week," indeed we ourselves expected it six weeks ago, that it appears to have no effect upon the market, for the truth is that so much time has already slipped away and the stocks in the interior markets of the South are so large, as to leave little or no chance for the limitation of the crop to 2,500,000 bales. . , The export of cotton during the next three or four weeks will probably be upon a large scale, judging from the number of vessels loac ing at Southern ports. The market effervesced for two or three days under the news per steamer of 24th February, and as much as iths of a cent. per lb. advance was paid in some cases, but soon receding to about previous prices, large purchases were made for shipment, and followed by a rally of WI or 4- cent, since which it has became dull at 7t to 73 cents for middling Orleans, and 7 to 74- for middling Uplands— the dullness may be partly owing to the fall in Bills in F - 'and nd r 0ng,.., and partly to the large import of the last three or four days, out of which, when sampled, buyers are ex pectins to purchase on lower terms. _. .... --- - Freight Id. per lb. to Liverpool, and Vila of a cent to Havre.

Two per cent. per month is paid freely on thirty and sixty day paper, and a quarter of one per cent. per day is given for short loans on country bank notes or fancy stocks. The Foreign exchanges are tending downwards. Bank ers' bills on London have been done to-day as low as 107 @ 107f,and notwithstanding an active demand, these rates are feebly sustained.

The Austrians took 12 cannon and 2,000 to 3,000 prisoners. The Italian loss was, two generals killed, 16 staff officers killed and wounded, and 3,000 to 4,000 men. The Austrian loss was 100 officers and 2,000 to 3,000 men killed and wounded. Racietzky said in his despatch, it was impossible to keep any one back. The battle lasted from 10 a.m. till late at night. A steamer from Sicily has arrived at Leghorn, with the intelligence that 700 of the Royal troops in garrison at Messina have deserted to the Sicilians, taking with them their arms, ammunition, and baggage. FAILURE OF THE NEGOCIATIONS AT PALERMO.—Mr. Temple and M. de Rayneval returned to Naples on the 28th ult., from Palermo. All their condescension has been thrown away on the Provisional Government. The Government of Palermo have declared the armistice to be at an end, and were to commence hostilities on the 29th ult. POPULAR MOVEMENT AT GENOA.—A popular move ment took place at Genoa on the 29th ult. The gates of the city were closed, the tocsin was sounded, the people flew to arms, but it was not against the Austrians, it was, on the contrary, to prevent the entrance of a Pied montese corps, under the orders of General La Marmora, of whose approach intelligence was received. The autho rities calmed the movement by allowing the National Guards to take possession of the two principal forts, the Sprone and the Begato. It appears, from a supplement to the Corriere Mercantile of the 29th, that the sitting of the Chamber on the 27th bad caused the movement. The Genoese municipal councillors Musso Montebruno, Monticelli, and Papa, have set out for Turin, to assure the deputies of the support of the Genoese province, and offer an asylum to the representatives of the nation. The Duke of Parma has abdicated in favour of the He reditary Prince of Parma, at present in England. PORTUGAL.

On the 16th Decem ber, a trial took place in the village of San Jose, for the trial of three men, named Davis, Campbell, and Freer, for murder, and sentenced to be hanged on the 18th, in presence of a large concourse of citizens." The New York Courier gives the following letter, from Acapulco, dated on the 11th of February:— " The general impression is, from the various reports, ac counts, and information obtained along this coast, that we got all the good news from the gold diggings, the bad being left for persons were averaging from £3O to £'4o Per day, but the ma: jority from 60 to 90 days through, did not realise .815 per day.

Lord and Lady John Russell left town on Wednesday for Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park. Sir Robert and Lady Peel, and Miss Peel left White hall-gardens on Thursday evening for Drayton Manor, Staffordshire, for the Easter holidays. Lord Brougham left town on Wednesday evening for Paris. A marriage has been arranged to take place between the Marquess of Stafford, eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and Miss Mackenzie, only child and heiress of Mr. Mackenzie, of Tarbot, Ross-shire, one of the most extensive landed proprietors in the empire. LAW INTELLIGENCE. In the Court of Chancery, on Friday, an application to alter the venue of an action which had been directed by this court, to try the right to certain bales of cotton con signed to the house of Barton, Irlam, and Higginson, late of Liverpool, and recent ly declared bankrupts, so that such action should be tried at Chester or Gloucester, was refu sed with costs. A BANKRUPT NOT DISCLOSING HIS REAL ESTATE. — At the Gloucester assizes, on Wednesday evening, Henry Harris, the elder, Henry Harris, the younger, Elisabeth Harris, and Anne Harris were indicted—the first for not having discovered, when he was upon his examination as a bankrupt, all his real estate, and when he had disposed of it ; and the others, his children, for having been pre sent aidiag:and abetting him. The indictment had been framed under the sth and 6th Vic., c. 122, p. 33. The principal defendant, a farmer in Monmouthshire, became bankrupt in 1843, and after the fiat was issued, executed a conveyance of his real property to his children, the other defendants, which conveyance was antedated, mak ing it appear to have been executed in April, 1842. The fraud was discovered, the property was seized upon by the assignees, and the present prosecution instituted by the Court of Bankruptcy. The elder prisoner was convicted, but the others acquitted, on a legal point. The convicted prisoner was not sentenced, two points of law being re served for the Court of Criminal Appeal. ALLEGED LIBEL.-At the Chester assizes, on Thursday, the case of Coppock v. Lomax came on. The duelaration stated that Henry Coppock, of Stockport, was the plain tiff, and James Lomax, the defendant ; and the plaintiff complained that the defendant had published, in a paper called the Stockport Advertiser, a false and malicious libel concerning the plaintiff, in his profession as an attor ney, imputing that he was selfish, dishonest, and corrupt, and that when he filled the office of town-clerk he gave corrupt advice to the corporation concerning a certain purchase of certain manorial tolls from Lord Vernon, with the dishonest motive of benefitting himself at the expense of the burgesses of the borough of Stockport, with the view of obtaining the office of clerk to the County Court. The defendant merely pleaded not guilty. After the alleged libel had been put in, Mr. Wilkins made a brilliant speech for the defendant, contending that the article in question was nothing more than a critique on the conduct of a public man, who ought not to be so thin skinned as to bring an action on the ground that the ar ticle was intended to injure him in his private capacity as a solicitor. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, found a verdict for the defendant. THE LIBELS ON LORD LEIGH.-At the Warwick assizes, on Saturday last, the trial of the case of the Queen v. Charles Griffin, was commenced. This was a prosecution at the instance of Lord Leigh, for a libel, charging Lord Leigh himself, his mother, his deceased agent (Mr. Jones), the family so li c it or , an d several other persons, with numerous murders, and other felonies, and many misdemeanours. The defendant was a solicitor, at Leamington, and the extraordinary allegations he made have long been known to the public, and were published last year in a book containing 90 pages. He pleaded a justification of the libel under Lord Campbell's act, and consequently was at liberty to produce evidence of the alleged crimes. In the course of a trial of five days, the utter absurdity of the charge against Lord Leigh was proved, and a verdict was returned on Thursday against Mr. Griffin. The judgment of tLe court was, that the defendant be imprisoned for two years. and that he enter into his own recognizances in £5OO, and find two sureties in .C2eo each, to be of good behaviour for five years. The counsel for the prosecution called witnesses (one of whom was Lord Faye and Sele) to contradict the statement of the witnesses for the defence. They deposed very posi tively to the death of Mr. James Henry Leigh, that there ver was any monument to Christopher Leigh in the h, as alleged, and satisfactorily accounted for eve ns employed about the bridge. They s lo proved Irdered at bridge never had any existence at all CLERICAL INTEL-LIGENcE. The Queen has approved of the appointment of the Rev. R. Knox to the vacant see of Down, Connor, and Dromore.

A GOOD ExcHANere:—We are happy to find that the Metropolitan Training School Society have purchased that large building, so well known as a Dissenting Institution under the name of Highbury Ccllege. We believe the price they have paid for it is £12,500. And we trust it will be given to the Directors to prosecute the enterprise they have so auspiciously begun with wisdom, zeal, and success. Those three institutions for the education of the rising generation—for the education of those who are to educate the rising generation—which we have repeat edly brought under the notice of our readers, ought, we are persuaded, to meet for two or three years to come with the fullest and most liberal support of the Christian public : we mean the Society we h.

With the excention voted for Disraeli's motion on taxation, and against Hurne's amendment. He here explains: and yet he calls the former a " little-go,"—but right as far as it goes. In reply to an attack by the " Whig organ " of the town, Mr. Muntz says— of toe old ruined abbey of Burooough, very few utijecrs of interest or of landscape scenery are noticeable on the route, the country over which the line is carried being mostly of a flat and level surface.

If to be a Liberal a man must subscribe to abstract theories, wtthout reference to facts or circumstances; if he must advocate throwing the people upon their own resources, and giving them, as Mr. Attwood truly said, the liberty of choosing between the workhouse or the gaol; if lie must admit that abstract cheapness, without reference to circumstances, is the best for the people; if he must alluw that the property, produce, and labour of the country should be sacrificed for the advantage of the usurious money-owners and money-lenders, then 1 am not a Liberal." The above is a good sample of the ancient manliness of the British character, and the elevation of the reasoning powers above mere party tactics,—disposing of the quas tion as Home Tooke did with the ultra Jacobins of his days, and as Sir F. Burdett did with Orator Hunt,—de dining to take the leaps of the Manchester steeple-chase of the Blanketeers. EMU ue, .tent at Ormskirk. The cuttings and embankments are also slight, except the Aughton-hill cutting, which is about 50 feet deep. This cutting, however, has been of no small service in the construction of the line, the soft rock which was excavated having been used for ballasting the railway, even so far as its junction with the Blackburn line at Fa ringdon. In the formation of the line the Rufford mea dows, we understand, presented the greatest difficulty, in consequence of the upper surface of the ground being sup ported by a lake or pool of mud, which, when the em bankmenr, was placed upon it, sank under the line, and the surface on ea c h sid e b ecame cons id era bl y elevated. In other parts the crust supporting the embankment sunk till the summit of the embankment became level with the adjoining land. This difficulty was obviated partly by carrying the railway upon piles supporting timbers and rails in the form of wooden bridges, and partly by filling up the embankment on the subsided portion until the re quired height was obtained. The length of the line from the point where it diverges from the Blackburn Railway to where it unites with the Liverpool and Bury, about two miles from Liverpool, is 22i miles—a route shorter by ten miles than by the North Union. MORE EFFECTS OF FREE-TRADE.—Most of our readers are aware that a very extensive and remunerative trade has been carried on between this district and various con tinental states in the article of soda. One advantage held forth by the advocates of free-trade was that, if we ad mitted grain free of duty, and reduced our tariff on im ports, foreign nations would gladly avail themselves of flies VA LAI, opportunity of sending their"pi educe to this country, and would receive in exchange a proportionately large share of our manufactured articles. The government of Prussia bas determined upon increasing the duty upon crystals of soda admitted into that country from fifteen shillings. the present duty, to three pounds per ton. The cost of deli vering crystals of soda in Prussia, including the present duty, is about two pounds per ton, to which extent the Prussian manufacturer is at present protected. If the duty be increased to three pounds per ton, his protection will be four pounds five shillings per ton, and as the price of crystals of soda free on board in the Tyne is not more than six pounds per ton, it will operate as an entire pro hibition. What course our Government will take in the matter it is difficult to see; if remonstrance be of no avail retaliation might be pursued, but the great princi ple of free trade to which the Government adheres is to remove all impositions and restrictions in this country, without reference to the course tl4 may be pursued by others. Prussia, it seems, is not so enamoured of foreign produce as the free-trade agitators of this country ; and she comas forward to protect her own domestic industry from the rivalship of foreign• states. Prussia accepts the free trade of England in so far as it opens out a more ex tensive market, but declines to carry out the principle when it proves ruinous to her own manufactures. It will be a serious evil to this district, if a trade of such extent, and in which so much capital has been invested, as the manufacture of soda, should be crippled to the extent threatened. It is obvious, however, that no reliance can be placed on foreign states when conflicting interests are involved ; and the only way in which the greatness of the country can be maintained and industry extended, is by givingencouragernen t to ourown population .—Newc. inal. PEEL UPON RUSSELL.—We make the following extract from the report of the proceedings in the House of Com mons on Tuesday Mr. P. SCROPE moved for leave to bring in a bill to promote the employment of labour in Ireland, by a proportionate ex emption from poor rate.—Mr. J. O'BRIEN opposed such a hili.—Lord J. RUSSELL was quite opposed to the bill. If they came to a division, he must vote in opposition to the bill.—Mr. P. ScßopE observed that he merely asked for the opportunity of discussing the principle of the bill.—Sir R. PEEL said ? that considering the present state of Ir e l an d, an d the necessity of considering what measures might be proposed for her relief, and the disinterested consideration given by the hon. gentle man to the condition of the destitute poor of Ireland, and the obloquy to which he had exposed himself, he was entitled to bring forward his bill. If the hon. gentleman should persist with his motion, he would cordially support him.—Sir G. GREY said, if it came to a division, he would be forced to oppose it.— After a few words from Mr. French, Mr. Grogan, Major Black all, Mr. Herbert, and Mr.Osborne,—Mr.SCßoPE said he should proceed with his motion.—The house then divided, and the numbers were : for the motion, 108; against it, 15 ; majority, 93. How does the reader suppose Lord John Russell and Sir George Grey voted in the division ? Of course, after what they said, against the introduction of the bill ! No such thing ! They voted for the bill, together with Mr. Hawes, Sir J. Jervis, Mr. Labouchere, Lord Palmerston, Sir J. Romilly, and Sir W. M. Somerville, all members of the government ! But how comes it that not only Lord John end Sir George, but the other members of the government then present, should have voted for the measure, after Lord John and Sir George declaring so emphatically their opposition to it ? The truth is that this is a fine example of the stability of the government. Sir Robert Peel de clared his intention of voting with Mr. Scrope, and there fore the government dare not run the risk of voting against him. They went quietly into a corner and " eat their leek." It was as much as their official lives were worth to oppose Sir Robert Peel. A crushing defeat overhung them : and Sir George Grey, instead of being "forced to oppose " the bill, found himself " forced " to support it !

(From the Church and State Gazette) We have no doubt that to many of our readers who have sojourned on the banks of the Cam, and particularly to those who have cultivated learned leisure beneath the roof of old Magdalen, the name of Walter John Whiting will be as familiar as a household word. They would perhaps be surprised were we to inform them that their old fellow student who honoured and was honoured by his college—that the alumnns who, after a course of study conducted and terminated with repute, was admitted into the ministry of the Church of England—that, in short, the Rev. W. J. Whiting, whom they so well remember, is now the Padre Whiting of Cbillianwallah. But so it is ; and yet in nothing has Mr. Whiting changed, save such change as accompanies progress in good. He re ceived ordination with the resolution to fulfil his duty to the utmost. The last advices show that he is not inert in the accomplishment of his office ; and it is gratifying to us to perceive in various Indian papers, and to collect from divers private letters, that, in the recent days of bloody trial in the Jhelum, the Padre--(as all European ministers are entitled in the East)—has by the exercise of his office nobly maintained the fame and the honour of our beloved Church. _ _ Mr. Whiting joined Lord Gough's army as a volunteer ; he considered that he had no right to comparatively in glorious ease, as one of the Company's chaplains, when death was likely soon to be abroad, and thousands might need ghostly comfort to prepare them for the battle or its consequences. The step taken by the rev. gentleman was highly agreeable to Lord Gough and the troops ge nerally ; and it was soon seen how great the value that was to be attached to such co-operation. When the cry " Forward !" gave impulse to the mighty power that confronted the Sikh forces on the 13th January, Mr. Whiting busied himself in preparing a hospital for the wounded, as well as in making prepara tions to perform the sacramental rites for all who might desire to partake of the privilege of consolation in the hour of peril. It was when occupied in ministering double aid to the sick and dying that a report reached the hospital that her Majesty's 14th Dragoons were hurrying from the field of blood with their backs to the enemy : our gallant soldier-priest in an instant leaped on his own horse, pistol in hand : he met a party of the regiment named with their chargers' heads turned in the direction of safety. The reverend gentleman rallied them—up braided them for their want of firmness—reminded them of home and honour, and, finally, led them back to where blows were ringing. Having achieved thus much, he hastened again to his own vocation, and took his place once more by the side of the wounded. A Calcutta paper (The Englishman) commenting upon the heroism of the volunteer chaplain, says—" The padre ought to have the first good vacancy in his own corps, whether archdeaconry or bishopric. Such exhortations to duty (adds our Oriental contemporary) at such a time, are in valuable : and the presence of our chaplains on the field of battle is a rare event. We hope the whole army will drink to the health and speedy promotion of the reverend gentleman." We hope so too, and that the wish implied may assume reality. Sure we are that such a toast will be duly honoured at Cambridge when Magdalen next sends round a social cup in honour of her celebrities. The Sunday after the hard fought contest was one to be remembered by all present. On that day, Mr. Whiting performed three services of acknowledgment to the Giver of all good. The first service was celebrated at half-past seven in the morning in the open air, when the reverend gentleman had for his congregation her Majesty's 24th and 61st Regiment, with the adjacent artillery. At eleven o'clock, a large congregation was assembled in the Dun bar tent of the Commander-in-Chief. In the progress of the service an alarm, a false one, arose that the enemy was at hand ; and, in consequence, a full third of the congregation quietly withdrew in order to " do their duty in that state of life to which it had pleased God to call them." But in spite of this unavoidable diminuticrn of the numbers, the reverend chaplain had the gratification of finding, at the end of the usual service, 6.* -' hundred communicants approaA^' hands t' , mn sacrament of th to receive at hi Supper of the Lord t 7).0/hi 1.1 was, indeea, a bUtt:Luta bravest spirits in our noble army kneeling humbly 1 t, tO SE tug I iersons that have been cured of I scurvy, leprosy, rings disease, by Holloway's every vane Ointment and Pills.

DARING ATTACK BY ROBBERS.—The Kilkenny Mode rator reports a daring attack on the cottage of a widow lady, Mrs. Staanton, of Dunhill, by four armed robbers, who locked up the lady and her servant whilst they searched the house, and carried off every portable article they could lay their hands upon. There are accounts of deaths by starvation in the Kerry, Cork, Limerick, and Tipperary papers.
