" Taukwang, 27th year, Ist moon, 3d day." "Keying, Governor of the two Kwang, and the three Commissioners (of iustice,Finance, and Excise), Laving received the deposition of Hwang, he was placed under an escort, and on the 3d day of the Ist mocn dispatched to the capital. " Taukwang, 27th year, Ist moon, sth day." The China Mail says— " The failures alluded to in the Canton market report are Aming's and the Footae Hon'. The former has been doing a large, but a reckless, business, and making extensive shipments of tea under advances, generally taking imports in exchange. These he has been com pelled from time to time to force off at under prices to meet his engagements to the teamen. who seem to have trusted him chiefly because they understood him to be supported by foreigners. As the China new year, the general settling time, approached, his creditors became more pressing, and to meet the increasing demands he was driven to raise money upon the goods stored in his packhouses ; but, suspicion being excited, upon informa tion obtained, it is said, througb a China boy, several of the English merchants went across to Ilonam (an island ire the Canton river), and forcibly took from the shroff, with whom the plods bad been pledged, as much of them as they coufd lay their hands on. Through the interposition of her Maj , nty's Consul, additional re coveries, bolt of money and goods, hare since been made, and even a portion of the goods pawned within the city may be got back, sq /het the loss to our countrymen is not expected to be very great. The Namhoi has closed Aming's doors, and sealed up his papers, stationing a guard over thb hong, in which, however, there is not much now to protect. . "Footae's 'difficulties are of old standing, and are attributed to the enormous squeeze to which this along with the other hongs was subjected to make up the 5,000,000 dollars for the ransom of Canton in 1841, and which the Emperor was made to believe was the amount of debts due by the Hong merchants and demanded by foreigners. "ft is said that several other Chinese merchants are struggling, the business they have been doing of late baying been unso nd and unprofitable. The temptation to ship ender ad?rinces is irresistible, but the result has been disastrous to themselves and infarious to the foreign trade." The Manilla correspondent of the China Mail, writing on the 12th of February, states:— " An English ship, said to be the Medusa, has been dismasted in the late gale, and driven into the Bay of Lampong, on the east cost of Manilla, opposite the island of Polillo. The report was to the effect that the vessel was in a sinking condition, and that her cargo is valuable. A person has been sent, at the request of the agent for Lloyd's, to ascertain the facts, and render such assistance as may be practicable. "The Medusa left London for Hong-Kong on the 22d of August, and has been expected for some time past." CANTON MARKETS. (From the China Mail of Feb. 25.) IMPORTS. There have been two failures among the longs an nounced this new year; the amounts they owe to the tewsen are said to .be very large. The holidays have only just terminated, and the market has hardly yet opened; transactions reported therefore have reference chiefly to the , three weeks previoua.

As I said before, the booty must have been immense, the Omegehaving lost opium to the value of 70,000 d o ll s ., with 40,000 dolls. The Caroline's loss was not so high, but is estimated in opium'and treasure at 60,000 dolls.— Total 0,000 dolls., or about 36,000/. in rvivors of both vessels have been exam i ne d b y thee ul of Amoy and the chief ma g i s t ra t e o f Hong coif Kong, and the China Mail, in introducing an abstract of the evidence, justly remarks:— " Deeply as the fate of the sufferers is to be deplored, the evidence of the witnesses shows it to have been in a great measure attributable to mismanagement and want of vigilance on the part of those to whom were intrusted so many lives and so much valuable property of the most alluring description. Their sole dependence in case of attack was upon the means on board of their own vessels, which, however, were ample; but although their atten tion for some days previous had been repeatedly directed to the pirate boats, yet, without having a gun loaded or a man ready, they allowed themselves to be surprised and boarded, when sauve qui peut was their only re source, though it would appear that no great discip line or resistance would even then have sufficed for their de fence. Instead of leaping overboard, or rushing in panic haste to the boats, had the few men then on deck, with muskets and ammunition, taken to the rigging, it is more thaeprobable they would quickly have made the deck too but for their assailants. • Hwang, the distinguished Lieutenant-Governor of Kwang-tung (Canton) province, has been degraded, and sent prisoner to Pekin. ewo causes are assigned for this untoward event, both, to our notions, trivial enough, and neither, probably, the true reason for removing perhaps the most enlightened states man who has ever had the direction of the foreign policy of the empire. His talents, and the use he made of them, could not fail to create jealousies at the Court of Pekin, and it is probable his enemies have fixed upon a neglect of a merely formal observance as an excuse to crush this really great man. One report amongst the Chinese is, that he had ap pOeted a military officer, on account of his age and long slice, to some honourable office, which was reserved for literary candidates ; but the other reason assigned seems more probable and is better confirmed. It is fis : we take the statement as follows from the China Mail : " While presiding at the late literary and military examinations he received intelligence of the death of his mother, and, according to the laws of his country, he ought immediately to have denuded himself of office and retired into privacy for three years ; but, instead of this, it is said with the connivance of Keying, he kept the matter secret until the close of the examinations, when the circumstances having transpired, his enemies (such a man in China cannot be without them) pressed the matter on the attention of the Emperor, who imme diately ordered Hwang to be degraded and brought as a culprit to Pekin. The punishment due to the crime is death ; but he will, probably, be able to save his life at the cost of a heavy pecuniary mulct and the loss of office. " It is said that Keying shed tears on receiving the Imperial order; And well he might, for Hwang has been his right hand and the mainspring of his administration. It is well known to those who have come in contact with both, that for the reputation Keying has obtained in Europe and America as an enlightened statesman, he is indebted in no small measure to Hwang; and should the next Lieutenant-Governor, as is probable, be of the old stamp, the foreign policy of China will experience a re trograde movement—bringing bade the petty diplomacy of former days, to be cut short, perhaps, by another in glorious war." The following cornmunFcations on the subject have been transmitted by the Chinese correspondent of the China Mail:— ".Hwang Ngan-tang, Lieutenant-Governor, &c., lately received the announcement of his mother's death, and did not report it, but kept it secret, in consequence of which offence the Imperial will is sent down in haste that he be divested of office. The order having been received on the mornirg of the 12th moon, 27th day (12th February), the seals of office were delivered over to Keying, who is in the meantime to discharge the duties of the two offices. 6 to 8 dolls. 'A late excessive import of South Seas, not yet landed, in however, depress the market. Opium —A d eal has been done in Malwa lately upon credit. ck at Cumsingmoon is reduced to 1,500 chests, of which little or noon is good. The hihest rate we hear of is .560 dolls. Since the Red Rover s ar rival Bengal has given way, and for the last day or two holders seem anxious to sell. Old Patna is dull, at 670 dolls. ; and new Benares 650 dolls., without buyers. Turkey is held by foreigners, at 375 dolls. ; but Chinese are selling at 350 dolls. THE SUN, LONDON, _FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1847 " The decree of the 17th January, 1820, compels the autho rity charged with the administration of the public debt to give an account annually to the Assembly of the States of the kingdom, and thus ensures to it the vital condition of useful action, viz., its periodical convocation." The concluding portion of the Address now stands as follows. By comparing it with the draft presented by the Committee, it will be seen that the language is much more subdued than in the original : " We are confident that your Majesty will not consider it a want of gratitude if, in the course of our deliberations, we should be occupied in a more circumstantial manner with the points of the decrees of the 3d of February of this year, which many amongst us do not regard as being perfectly in accord with the most ancient laws; for, in order that the faithful States of your Majesty may prove a true support to the throne, in order that we may be able efficaciously to aid your Majesty in your efforts for the security and prosperity of our dear country, those whom we represent must have the most sincere conviction that the representative rights ac corded to us by the King are dear to us, as well as the ho nour and force of the Crown ; and that we will protect the one and the other as being equally precious. If the Diet, in the course of its deliberations, if your Majesty from mo tives, which in such case the Diet will respectfully lay before you, should be convinced of the divergences between the an cient and present laws, we doubt not that the wisdom and justice of youriMajesty will adopt measures to lead to an ac cord compatible with the prosperity of Prussia—a prosperity which rests upon the farle of the monarOical : principle arid on a sure and well-regulated representative legislation." Madrid papers of the 16th have been received. On the 16th the Ministers presented to the Cham- bers a Bill for the regulation of the public press. By this Bill it is declared that the Senate shall try of fences against the Sovereign, juries those that are merely and the ordin ary tr ib unals cases of defamation calumny. Th ere was a discussion on political, an d both days on the Bill for raising 25,000 men for the army. Two amendments were proposed, but neither of them was successful. On the 15th the Chamber of Deputies proceeded to the election of a new Vice-President in the room of Senor SALA MANCA. The candidates were Senor Rios Roses, a partisan of the late Ministry, Senor REINOSO, the candidate of the present Ministry, and Senor CRESPO, a Progressista. At the first ballot neither of the candidates obtained an actual majority ; at the second Senor CaEsro having retired, the Progressistas voted for the Ministerial candidate, who was elected by a majority of eight. Senor OLozAGA has had an audience of the QUEEN, and was very graciously received by her MAJESTY. Her MAJESTY drove out on the 15th, and alighted at the Royal Botanical Gardens, where she mixed with the promenaders. There was not the slightest attempt at a renewal of the annoyances of the pre ceding Sunday. General SERRANO, instead of proceeding into Andalusia, remains at Aranjuez, and, according to the Eco del Coirtercio, it is extremely probable that his journey will extend no further. Mr. HENDERSON has addressed a strong appeal to the Finance Minister and to th e S pan i s h nation, on the subject of the foreign debt. In speaking of this publication the Heraldo says-- "The documents it contains, which tell us, with rather rough frankness, what is thought of us abroad, will no doubt convince all Spaniards who refuse them of the urgency of regulating our foreign debt, not only from a sense of justice and self-interest, but also in order that we may not lose the honourable reputation Spain has always enjoyed in financial matters."

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday, The Moniteur publishes the following ordonnance, containing the new quarantine regulations, founded on the report of the Minister of Commerce : " Art. 1. All vessels arriving from countries suspected of the plague shall henceforth be ranged only under the dis tinction of having clean bills of health and foul bills of health. There shall be a foul bill of health when there shall be either in the country where it is delivered, or in other countries having a free comwiunication with that country, either a pestilential epidemic or circumstances of a nature to excite fears fcr the public health. The bill of health must be delivered or vise on the day or the day before the depar ture of the vessel. Art. 2. Ships arriving with clean bills of health from the ports of Turkey in Europe, Turkey in Asia or Egypt, and having a medical officer on board, and mums or attendants commissioned by our Minister of Commerce, shall be admitted to free pratique when ten clear days have passed since their departure from the port they come from. Art. 3. Vessels arriving with clean bills of health from the ports of Turkey in Europe or Turkey in Asia, Syria excepted, but having no medical officer on board, shall continue to be subjected to a quarantine of observation for three clear days in the ports of the Mediterranean, and of twenty-four hours in_those of the Ocean and the Channel. Art. 4. Ships arriving with clean bills of health from the ports of Syria and Egypt, and having no surgeon on board, shall be subjected to a quarantine of five clear days from the day of. their arrival. Art. 5. Arrival with foul bills of health from Turkey in Europe, Turkey in Asia and Egypt, shall be subjected to a quarantine of ten clear days, without the distinction of vessels having or not having a medical officer on board. Art. 6. Arrivals with clean bills of health from the regency of Tunis shall be admitted to free pratique immediately after the verification of their papers. Art. 7. Goods, with clean bills' of health, whatever may be their nature or origin, may be freely landed immediately after their arrival, when at least ten clear days have elapsed since their departure. In case of foul bills of health, goods called susceptible .shall be subjected to a quarantire at the lazaretto for three clear days from the day of their landing. Art. 8. If, during the passage, or during the quarantine, any case of plague, or of any other suspicious disease, shall or:cur, the passengers, the ship, and the cargo, shall be subjected to a special quarantine, the duration shall be fixed by the Board of Health at the port of arrival, subject to the approval of the Minister of Commerce. Art. 9. French medical men, ap pointed by the Minister of Commerce, shall be established in such of the ports of the Levant at which their presence shall be found necessary to ensure the due execution of the mea sures required fur the protection of the public health. They shall ascertain and,stase before the departure of each ship the sanatorysta'e of the country. The bill of health shall be delivered upon their report. Medical officers of ships shall superintend during the passage the execution of such mea tshuerepshasr e l h be e forderedorder he g b g y ag t h e e and Min c i l s e t t e h r i n o g f e C f o t i h n e mercefo passen gers. Art. 10. The provisions of this present ordonnance concerning foul bills of health from the Ottoman empire shall be applicable to all such countries as may hereafter be ranged in the class of places under the regulations for foul bills of health. This ordonnance is dated April 18, is signed by the King, and countersigned by the Minister of Commerce." It would appear that, notwithstanding the report event as a happy release. The treacherous assassina tion of Sir WILLIAM 11:PINTAuuTEN will ever associate the name of ARBAR KHAN with one of the foulest deeds recorded in history. In the Pun jaub the British authorities are incessantly on the watch to guard themselves against desperate conspiracies formed against their lives. Fresh dis coveries vindicate the wisdom which Colonel LAW RENCE evinced in prohibiting the Ranee and her son from performing pilgrimages without his express sanction ; and it appears probable, that prudence will dictate the propriety of putting a veto upon all public fetes. The British Resident intended to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of Sobraon, but, in con sequence of information that he received, the fête was postponed, and numerous parties (chiefly A khalces, religious enthusiasts of the worst descriptior,) were arrested, who are accused of having designed to assassinate the principal members of the Lahore Government. In Sinde everything bore a peaceable complexion. Sir C. NAPIER, having visited the plains where his gallant troops covered themse s with glory, and he himself gained imperishab7laurels, had returned to Kurrachee in excellent health. The question of time-bargains in India continues as un settled as ever, the judges in the Supreme Court at Bombay having differed in their judgments upon the celebrated opium actions. The Pricy Council at home will now be called upon finally to adjudicate the question. The distresses of the Scotch and Irish have elicited the sympathies of her MAJESTY'S subjects in the East, where munificent collections are being made in the different presidencies for their alleviation. In Bombay alone, in less than a week, the subscription reached 3,0001. This wide -spread spirit of benevolence, tqually exhibited by rich and poor, and from a quarter of the globe thousands of miles dis tant from the objects of their commisseraticn, w ill render the year 1847 memorable for the philan thropy which has been universally manifested, and whicn is unprecedented in the annals of the world. Oa the 15th inst., tie King of P RUSSIA presente d to the Diet a proj ec t o r law for ameliorating the con dition of the Jews. Among its various provisions are the following :—"Jews may be appointed to all such public functions as have no executive power attached to them. They may be appointed professors at the Royal Universities, but only in the faculty of medi cine, the section of physical and mathematical sciences, and the faculty of philosophy. The ar title in the national code, which declares that no Jew can be a witness in any criminal affair involv ing a penalty greater than six weeks' imprisonment, or a fine of 50 thalers (2001.), is to be repealed. Jews may be chosen as judge arbiters in all suits in which all the parties are of the Jewish religion." By a Berlin letter of the 16th we learn the result of the discussion of the Diet on the Address sub mitted to it by the Committee. It has been adopted, with the suppression of the portion in which a perio dical convocation of the Diet is claimed, and with the modification of the part which was intended as a sort of remonstrance to the KING. The suppressed para graph was as follows : AL CLUB. ATI O N TilUb 1.10. His Grace the Duke of Manchu- Charles Hay Frewen, Esq„ M.P. ter. John Tollemache, Esq., M.P. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Digby Mack- J.

As a correspondent of undoubted intelligence, and of no inconsiderable experience, observes to us in a letter published in another column of The Sun, " the present emer g e nc y l ou dl y ca ll s f or th e repeal of the. Act so prejudicial to the commerce of the country." Wherefore should there be any hesitation:in the reci sion of a fallacy so egregious, so indisputable, and so flagrantly demonstrated, as this absurd and blunder ing enactment ? With all his magnificent genius for legislation, with all his extraordinary wisdom and experience as a statesman, it is utterly useless to deny that Sir ROBERT PEEL has committed many mon strous errors, and fallen into several enormous mis takes during the course of his political career. He did this in regard to Parliamentary Reform, he did this in regard to Catholic Emancipation, he did this in regard to the abolition of the Corn Laws, he did this again in regard to the Bank Restriction Act. But hitherto he has had the inestimable good fortune to perceive his own blunders, and besides that he has hitherto had the magnanimity--a magnanimity be yond all eulogium—of rectifying those blunders by a timely retractation. He retracted on the Reform question, he retracted on the Catholic Emancipation question, he retracted on the Corn Importation question:; let him consummate his career by retract ing on the Bank Restriction question. We have an exceeding and unaffected admiration for the abilities of the Right Hon. Baronet; we have an implicit con fidence in his patriotism; we are among those who must ever continue grateful for the benefits conferred by him upon Great Britain. Let him, we say again, consummate his political life by the course we have pointed out; let him, we say, with this assurance of our admiration, our confidence, and our gratitude, put the seal to those boons he has already showered upon his native land, and thereby more than expiate the blunders of his judgment ! We had hoped, cordially and earnestly , we had hopei, that Si r R OBERT P EEL would, on acknow ledging the fallaciousness of protection, have simulta neously, or almost simultaneously confessed the insufficiency and folly of his financial arrangements of 1844 ; for is there not equal reason to, demand a free trade in gold as in all the other commodities drawn from the earth ? How anomalous to proclaim the unrestricted importation and exportation of barley, and to place the golden metal which is smelted from the ore of the mountains under the inexorable bondage of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce ! Not ad valorem, not variable under any circumstances, however exigent, but fixed as if by a legislative cramp. Unstring but the knot of this disastrous enactment as the knot of the defunct corn-laws was unstrung, give free trade in specie as well as in turnips and leather, and the ebbing and the flowing of money will go on unimpeded, with Out unhealthy gluts or depressive drainings. Let the proprietors of the Bank of Eng land capitalise 2,000,0001., as has been already pro posed, let that great medium of our national wealth be empowered to purchase securities, say to the ex tent of 2,500,0001., let the Government extend the ar bitrary point of issue on securities by 1,500,000/., for the Government has the power at option of inter posing for the security of the Bank of England, whenever it may so seem advisable. By some such arrangement, but especially by the abrogation of the law of 1844, the country may be relieved from further anxiety, and the funds may be secured from a similarly excited depression. Not otherwise. For a freedom from such restraints is essential to the healthy condition of the monetary resources of the empire. Room must be given for the play of the elasticity of our national finance, or the intricacies of that finance become entangled and involved. We are tarrying with impatience for some reformatory movement on the part of the Legislature, for we cannot conceal from ourselves that the emergency is most imminent. The intelligence from India, by the Overland Mail, is of the same acceptable character as the previ•ius news which we have now happily for some time past been in the habit of receiving from our Eastern dominions. It assures us of present tranquillity throughout India. Here and there the prospect of peace is shadowed by rumours of political intrigues, which we trust will prove to be without foundation. It is said, for instance, that Candahar and Caubul are exhibiting symptoms leading to the infer ence that a northern European power is busy in reneg ing its endeavours to compromise t'le continuance of tranquillity on our north-western frontiers, endeavours which originally gave rise to the war in Affghanistan. The ruthless ambition treachery, rapacity, cunning, and love of intrigue which constitute the chief characteristics of many of the Indian tripes, are calculated to render them willing instruments for seconding the wiles and abetting the unprincipled policy of any powerful:state. We should hope, however, that, if there be any truth in the re ports to which we have alluded, the severe lesson which we have read to our enemies, from 1841 downwards, whenever we have been compelled to draw the sword, will not be without its effect, and that the crafty diplomacy of any Court in Europe will not so easily find convenient channels for its development. The belief was general that the infamous AKBAR KIIAN was dead, though there was no positive intel ligence to establish the fact. Certainly, no one would repine at the news of his death, seeing that, perhaps, his own father, DosT 11 /lAIIO3IED, would retard the , A financial crisis is to a commercial country what a disastrous campaign and a beleaguered capital are to a military country. 'Without a skilful application of whatever force is still reserved, without calmness, promptitude, and intrepid decision, the consequences must in either instance be deplorable, if they be not altogether ruinous. We know not, indeed, whether promptitude and intrepidity are not, if possible, more essential to the financier than to the captain. They are necessary now; they are absolutely requisite at this moment, or the panic which has been latterly as suming a more formidable aspect, will be consum mated. Ever since the passing of the Bank Restric tion Act of 1844, we have been advancing blindfold to a precipice; the recent dearth of provisions, and the consequent necessity for purchasing large quantities of foreign produce to make up the defi ciency, have driven us to the brink of that precipice. Let us open our eyes in time and recoil from that abyss towards which we have been impelled by the perverse operation of a fantastic and foolish hypo thesis. It is now notorious that the monetary con dition of the Bank of England is the very reverse of satisfactory. And, seeing that the amount of bullion still retained in its cellars exceeds the average quan tity of many years, it is becoming equally notorious that the p:esent embarrassments are attributable, not so much to the excessive drain of specie, as to the malign influence of the restrictive system established by the late Prime Minister. On the first proposition of the preposterous law of 1844, it cannot be forgotten that•we opposed to the uttermost the principle upon which that law was framed. We protested against a contrivance so shallow and inefficacious ; we recognised in its sinister provisions the assurance of some such involvements as those by which the Bank of England is at present surrounded. Hitherto no opportunity has been afforded for testing the accuracy of our de ductions, or for demonstrating the real character of the pet financial scheme of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The juncture has now, however, arrived, and the illusion of more than two years is vanishing. Common sense assures us that our original estimate of the Act passed in 1844 was by no means too depreciatory. The present condition of the stock market, the present advance in the rate of interest, the present impracti cability of obtaining discount, prove that all our for mer assertions and calculations were correct to the tittle. 'With ten millions of bullion in the Bank coffers, dis counts are more restricted, and the value of money is higher than with half the amount before Peel's Bill came into operation. The present emergency loudly calls for the repeal of an Act so prejudicial to the commerce of the country. It ought to be done without delay ; we shall then be able to pay our way until the next harvest, which, if it turns out a good one, will put matter: right. April 22.

THURSDAY. The racing this afternoon had several features in common with Tuesday—the events for decision were six in number, including a Royal Plate and a stake—the "One Thousand Guineas of as much importance with respect to future spedulations as the Two Thousand Guineas. The weather, too, was fine, and numbers only were wanting to make the similarity complete; in this respect, however, Tuesday Iva., immensely superior, not only to this but t o every rac i ng day that has preceded since 1810. Speculation on the One Thousand Guineas Stakes, notwithstanding its result, was certain to lead to a change in the prices of the two leading favourites for the Oaks, and was far from brisk ; Slander, as we have stated in our report of the betting on Wednesday night, left off at evens with the field. Brown Bess, who had been backed at 5 to 2, having receded to 3 to 1, similar offers having been offered agst Clementine, who was only no minally in the market. The betting this morning differed essentially from these prices, Clementina having sprung to 6 to 4. of course to the prejudice of Slander ' agst whom 5 to 4 was offered cur ren tly. 6 to 4 was laid agst Brown Bess, and 7to I agst The Emerald Isle. We should men tion, too, while speaking of the betting, that Van Tromp was backed at 5 to 1 for the Derby, and Cossack at 20 to 1 freely, and Sir Martin and St. Lawrence at 30 to 1 each fur the Chester Cup. The racing commenced at two o'clock, and Red Hart having delighted the " fielders" by defeating Epirote, and 'Cocoa Nut having carried off a very sporting handicap,. after a very severe race with the Cob, the star; took place for the principal event of the day, for whicfi five competitors appeared at the post, all more or less fancied except Cosachia. The race ended in favour of Clementina, by half a length; Slander beating Brown Bess_by a length. Like the 2,000 Guineas Stakes the pace was slow, s and also like that was fatal to the first favourite for the great event to come off at Epsom, the Goodwood horses in each case proving second best. Another agreeable surprise awaited the " fielders" in the Queen's Plate, in which the favourite, after one of the severest four mile contests ever witnessed, was beaten by Humdrum, being the second race of the day on which 5 to 1 was laid on the loser! The list was got through by half-past four o'clock. Sweepstakes of 100 soy. each, h ft, for three year old colts, Bst 71b. The winner of the 2,000 Guinea Stakes to carry 51b extra. D.M. (8 Subs.)

SIR,—It is plainly evident to all who are engaged in mercantile affairs that Sir Robert Peel's Bank Restriction Act of 1844 has been " weighed in the balance and found wanting." The commercial community is plunged into a state of much suffering, in order that a theory may be tested. The question is, has not the experiment gone far enough? The obligation of the Bank to pay its notes in specie on demand is an ample security against an excessive issue on the part of that establishment. Why, then, limit its resources by a law which, to all intents and purposes, renders five millions of its bullion practically useless ? We learn from Birmingham that the utmost activity pre vails in various quarters of the town in prosecuting the works of the Stour Valley line of railway. From the shaft sunk at the old wharf, the tunnel extends to King Alfred's-place ; and in the grounds of Bingley House, so long the residefre of the Lloyds, the lease of which is bought by the company, another shaft is now being sunk; whilst considerable pro gress has been made from Tindall-bridge in excavating a line of communication towards Bingley House. In Sumner street and Hill-street an extensive gap has been made by the taking down of several houses; and in Navigation-street, Pinfold• street, and the vicinity, so many houses are vacated, that it is said nearly two hundred families have been forced to remove, causing a complete stagnation to the business of the small shopkeepers round about. It is stated that within a month no less than 1,400 men, in addition to those already employed by the two railway companies, will be put to work in Birmingham. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Sales 4,000 bales, including 500 American on speculation. The value of American was quoted %d. per lb. lower, and of Brazil and Surat %d. per lb. lower than last week. There were 2,500 bales American sold at 6 1 4 d. to 7%d. per lb., and Surat realised 4d. to 4 1 ,4 d per lb. In Railway Shares there was nothing new. Business was still dull, the heavy shares, however, being best supported. The Overland Mail brings advices cf a favourable com plexion in some respects, but not such as are calculated to encourage the expectation that the Eastern Markets will offer yet, for some time to come, an opening for increased imports of manufactures. The pacific policy of Lord Hardinge, should events favour its development, may do much to create a more extended, permanent, and less fluctuating demand; but it is to railways all are looking for the grand impetus to civilization and prosperity. The Honourable East India Company had almost drawn to the full extent et the three Presidencies of its intended remittances for the financial year ending April, and the exchange, consequently, was on the advance. Although shippers from England take care to send forward excessive supplies of goods, the exports of produce from India are large, and the frequent wars have caused'a greater local expenditure, and diminished the sur plus revenue available fur remittance to England. By the Overland Mail we have acounts from South Aus tralia ofJanuaiy 14th. The colony seemed to be prosperous, and mining industry was prosecuted with considerable vigour and spirit. Van Diemen's Land dates of Jan. 6. notice the festivities of Christmas as having been observed with as much ardour as in England, although the heat was at eighty degrees. Ac cording to an estimate just made, it appears that the annual rentals for houses in Hobart Town amount to 96,400/. The Funds have been decidedly worse to-day, and it appears that money stock has been suddenly pressed on the market, for ,we have a decline from 87, the first price this morning, to 86%. Time bargains are effected at a reduction to 86% %. Exchequer bills have been quoted 2s. discount to par. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 88 to 87%; and the Three per Cents., 86 to 85%. Bank Stock is worth 193 to 194. The Foreign Bonds have been dull. Spanish Three per Cents. are 35 3 4: and this has been the only bargain in Pen insular Securities. .tilexican Bonds are at 20%; Grenada, at 20; and Chilian, at 91. French Five per Cent. Rentes are 115, with the Exchange at 23: 65. Railway Shares have been depressed in value, and sales are more difficult. MARKET NE WS.-Cr HIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE- FRIDAY. During the present week a very li m it e d supply of heat of home produce has come to band coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample. To-day the quantity of that de scription of Grain on offer was unusually small, owing to which, and to increased attendance of buyers, the demand was active, at an advance of from ls. to in some instances 2s. per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. A good arrival of foreign Wheat has taken place, yet a large quantity was taken on French account at ls. to 2s. per quarter more money. Although the supply of foreign Barley was g—, the trade was firm, a t f u ll pr i ces. The quantity of Malt on show was not largo, yet the transactions were wholly retail, at unaltered currencies. Nearly 20,000 quarters of foreign er q Oats have come in. All kinds moved off re a dil y, a moneyinquiry. Beans, Peas,and Flour were quite as dear, with a steady . SIVIIT7I3FIELIE Our market being somewhat heavily supplied with Beasts, the time of year considered, and the attendance of buyers comparatively small, the Beef trade was somewhat heavy, yet Mondays quotations were mostly supported. There were on sale 277 Oxen and Cows (chiefly the latter), 270 Sheep, and 26 Calves from Holland and Germany. The numbers of Sheep were by no means extensive; while the Mutton trade was firm, and previ o u s rates were obtained in , railway Tw ain t am e d; e L Isle of Wight —moved off slowly ; yet I prices w ere f i rmly supported, and a good clearance was effected.
