To the latter he replied that the Nt in the Black Sea had sailed to Kavarna Bay before kiejli.t,elligenee that the Russians had crossed the Danube t otinh'', Co nstantinople, and that it was now acting in ' e L„,, , on with the Turkish military authorities. tt4,l BANKRUPTCY and Insolvency Bill was tC e , n a B,,eond time and referred to a select committee, on T.: l ° , lon of Lord BnotreatAar. tc, C o !, REPORM BILL.—The Earl of ABERDEEN, in reply to th e r '' Il ardwicke, stated that the government, bowing th eir ,Pressure of circumstances, had resolved to withdraw_ I,s,...geforrn Bill, with a full determination, however, of b4Wing it fo rwardagain at a more seasonable opportunity. §pb:l.lqooTn.—ln answer to a question from the Earl of Ighinore, the Earl of ABERDEEN said he had no lbap, government would be able fully to consider the tiooti°l'etlient suggested relative to the college of May- I Son, 15rev i°tIslY to the termination of the recess. 4, -e other business was despatched, and their lordships lie d till the 27th, for the Easter recess.

Ga S and Waterworks Bill, Manchester Corpo i„)11 Waterworks Bill,and Manchester Improvement Bill. 'llaalstr.,E° LIA.BILITY.—Mr. CARDWELL said, he had ,k4e e, o -e- en a former evening the hope that the report of 4 I,2,llnissioners on the Law of Limited Liability would tlk,,.' e i ' s !ia that day, but he had just been informed that Nb e p a s to be still another meeting of the commission. 41d b e however he mi ht romise that the report b e ' g ' I) l' t ready by the re-assembling of par 'amen . ,tO, THE REFORM BILL. t m ellit n ,, l "l RUSSELL, in making the formal announce -It f4;,r new that Ministers had determined not La i : th" the new Reform Bill this session, gave a history L'la act eas , tire, as his personal honour had been invidi beah--itl'ed to in the matter. He acknowledged that e ga r - , a et accepted office on the understanding that a , sou`" 'af, .Parliamentary Reform should be among the 'Nip w uich the government should be formed. Last k 4 th it. we, e pressure of financial measures, and the India ~,t),0,f,-eo generally allowed . to be a sufficient reason for A ki f r . 4 - ',„ nement. But during the recess the measure i$ ti la i"ed which he introduced on the 13th of February. ,` . ll ai a ~t.ime it was hoped that the negotiations f with ':ltely t;°lght have been pacifically arranged. Un ortu +.4ahetinat was not the case, and the measure wars ad . !'e fait? t he 27th of April; Lord John being of opinion,. tjf ,self ~ Professed, that a state of war with Russia was ~,,'B l ll.e l_ sufficient reason for the abandonment of the i"s o a - ,,01it that the time of imposition of great . blur tLlhose " L e country was a fitting time for the admission t;„ opOearing the burdens to tbe franchise.

Sir GEORGE GREY expressed his great gratification at the unanimity of feeling exhibited on all sides of the house at the course pursued by his noble friend. He denied that any pledge had been given by him. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT defended the government in the course they had pursued, and hoped at no distant period to see his noble friend accomplish this object, and thus complete the great work of parliamentary reform, with which his name, his honour, and his fame were so indis solubly united. Sir J. PASINGTON entirely concurred in the tribute of respect which his right hon. friend had offered to the noble lord. Even had any one for a moment entertained a doubt as to the personal honour of the noble lord—a doubt which he believed no one had ever felt—that doubt would have been effectually dissipated by the speech which the noble lord had that night addressed to them. Lord J. RIISSELL.—I beg to express my grateful sense of the manner in which the statement I have made has been met by the house. (Cheers.) PUBLIC busniEss.--LOrd J. RUSSELL said he proposed to take the second reading of the Oxford University Bill on Thursday, the 27th instant, and to proceed with the committee on that bill on the following day. On the Ist of May, the President of the Board of Trade proposed to go into committee on the Railways Bill. With regard to the measure for the settlement and removal of paupers, it was not proposed to go on with that measure during the present session. His right hon. friend intended to move the appointment of a select committee to consider the law and practice respecting the removal of Irish paupers from England and Scotland, and of English and Scotch paupers from Ireland. THE PRESTON STRIKE.—Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that, on the 9th of May, he should move for a committee to inquire into the complaints of the working classes of Preston, as alleged in their petition which had been pre sented to the house. THE PERIODICAL PRESS.-Mr. Grimm./ gave notice that, on the 16th day of May, he should call the attention of the house to the unsatisfactory state of the law affect ing the periodical press, and should move the following resolution :—" That, in the opinion of this house, the law in reference to the newspaper stamps is undefined, unequally enforced, and is a subject that demands the early attention of Parliament." THE NATIONAL FINANCES. The Circa-cm .Lon of the EXCITEQUER, after laying upon the table the balance-sheet, said it had been his in tention to make a statement respecting the revenue for the year now closed, the condition of the public balances, and that of the unfunded debt, but, Mr. Disraeli having moved for further information in connexion with the subject, he thought it better, as far as any matter of argument was concerned, to postpone it, and he should confine him self to matters of fact. He then stated the amount of the excess of revenue received up to the sth of April, beyond the sum he had anticipated on the 6th of March, and the amount of. excess of income over expendi ture (as stated in the published account), which showed the real surplus of income for the year to be about £3,000,000, which he thought a satisfactory result, the more so since the sum he had expected to receive from the income-tax was less than he had anticipated. He then detailed the state of the public balances, the amount in 1853, the reduction in 1854 (when it was returned at £2,778,000), the manner in which the reduction had been brought about, by the paying off public debt and advances, and the probable amount of the deficiency bills required to meet the quarter, namely, £5,852,000. In explaining the deficiency bill system, and the extent of accommoda tion which the government obtained from the Bank of England, he observed that some of the best-informed per •sons out of doors believed that the amount of deficiency bills out on the sth of April represented the amount of the accommodation given by the Bank, and this amount had been estimated at from £4,000,000 to £6,000,000 ; but the amount of deficiency bills chargeable to the public yesterday was only £2,808,000, subject to a deduction for cash unexhausted, which reduced the amount to £2,129,000, and this, he remarked, in ordinary times, would not be an extravagant amount to receive as accommodation from the Bank. At the present time, however, he thought the amount ought to be progressively reduced, and it would be ffiminished without the least difficulty ; but this was the actual extent of accommodation received from the Bank. It was supposed, he added, that this unusual demand reduced the capital in the market available for commercial operations ; but this notion, he said, was not only erroneous, but ludicrously so, inasmuch as the demand withdrew from commercial purposes in the London money market not any sum whatever. There was, he continued, another point in connexion with the Bank, which was supposed to be a matter of good faith. Some persons had an idea that there had been a sort of compact (unwritten) between the government and the Bank, under which demands on deficiency bills ought not to be made on the Bank. He was not aware of any sucbcompact ; but there had been an understanding in 1844 that, if there was a diminution of the public balances beyond the usual sum, the Bank would be entitled to a claim upon the govern ment, and vice versa if there was an increase. The pre sumption on which this understanding rested was, that the amount of the public balances was to remain in future as it was at that time. Now, in the two quarters imme diately preceding this agreement, namely, January 5,1844, and April 5, 1844, the amount of deficiency bills was, in the former £5,462,000, and in the latter £3,967,000. On the sth of January, 1854, the amount was £3,711,000, and on the sth April, 1854., £5,472,000. The average amount ,of the two quarters of 1854 was £4,591,000, and that of the two quarters of 1844, £4,714,000, so that the amount was nearly the same, or a little less, in 1854 than in 1844. Mr. Gladstone then made a statement of the con dition of the unfunded debt, whence it appeared that the present amount of Exchequer-bills was 41,174,000 short ,of that which the government was authorised to issue, ,and he had no reason, he -said, to expect that he should have to make any further demand upon parliament for more bills, or even to use the whole amount he was au thorised to issue. The present state of public credit was, he added, highly satisfactory, as he showed by com p ar i ng the,present prices of our public securities with those of foreign countries, and with those of this country at former periods. The result of the whole was, that the demands of :the government upon the bank for accommodation (though it was desirable to reduce the amount) were not calculated to inspire any alarm ; that there had been no contraction of the resources of commerce ; that the un funded debt was moderate, and likely to continue so; and that •public credit was in a satisfactory condition, when the menacing circumstances of the times were considered. After a brief discussion, in avhich Mr. DIBRAOLI, Mr. T. BARWG, Mr. LAING, and Sir H. WlLLouGriss . made some comments upon the statements of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the paper was ordered to lie on the table. The bills for the prevention of %bribery in the boroughs of Cambridge, Hull, Maldon, Barnstaple, and Canterbury, were brought in and read a first time. _ The house adjourned at ten minutes to eleven, until the 27th instant. SHIPPING AND ME:ROAN TILE MIS CELLAIV f. FREIGHT "MONEY AT GREENWICR HOSPITAL. —.A return of freight money at Greenwich Hospital shows that between February, 1852, and March last :the amount was £9,698 19s. 6d., .of which £1,026 19s. 3d. was public treasure, and 2(72 Os. 3d. private treasure. THE PACKET SERVICE OF THE POST-OFFICE.—A return to the House .of .Commons shows that in the year ended January last the amount paid on account,of the packet service was £895,275. The amount chargeable to the packet service was £801,455, and 2,81,100 "otherwise chargeable," in addition to which £12,720 was paid as salaries of Admiralty agents on board the several contract packets. MAIL PACKETS.—By a return just presented to parlia ment, of the longest and shortest voyages from Southamp ton to Ushant, made by the contract packets on the xoutes to the Peninsula. Mediterranean, and Brazils, for the years 1848 to 1852 inclusive, it appears that by the Peninsula packets, the longest voyage was 84 hours, and the shortest 211 hours. Mean voyage,.3l. Average voyage, 26 hours. By the Mediterranean packets the longest voyage was 36 hours, shortest 21 hours : ; mean voyage 26, and average voyage 24 hours. By the Brazil packets the longest voyage was 48 hours, shortest:2l hours; mean voyage 27, :and average voyage 25 hours. LAUNCR OF THE PRINCE SCREW-STEAMER.—OR Wed nesday, the General Steam Shipping Company's new iron steamer Prince was launched from Messrs. Mare's ship building-yard, Blackwall. The :principal dimensions of the Prince are :—Length between the perpendiculars, 295 ft. -; length of the keel for tonnage, 268 10.ift. ' • breadth for tonnage, 4.3 4ft.; depth in hold, 33 6ft.; burthen, 2,706 tons. She is to be fitted with engines built by Messrs. Maudsley and Co., of the power of 300 horses, and upon the screw-propeller principle. OUR SHIPPING IN 1853.—During the year there were built and registered in the United Kingdom 635 sailing vessels of timber, of the collective burden of 146,380 tons, and 10 of iron, of 8,576 tons ; the number of steamers built was 36 of timber, with a tonnage amounting to 3,305 and 117 of iron, with a tonnage of 44,910 ; 32 colonial built vessels (20 of them from New Brunswick) were registered here, and 102 foreign ; the tonnage of the former was 26,443, of the latter 30,073. 69 of our sailing vessels and 15 of our steamers, with a united tonnage of 6,221, were broken up in the course of the year, and 569 of our sailing vessels, and 12 of our steamers, together of 120,714 tons, were wrecked. SHIPPING BlLLS.—Thesecond reading of the "Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," or what is better known as the Con solidated Mercantile Marine Bill, has peen postponed to the 4th of May ; so that there will be ample time to ex amine and discuss the new provisions in the bill. We also find that Mr. Cardwell has brought in a bill, which was read a first time, for the amendment of the law relating to wreck and salvage. This bill was also ordered to be read a second tune on May 4. Why this measure does not form part of the Consolidated Bill we are at a loss to conceive ; but we shall be better able to judge of the matter when the bill is before us.—Shipping and Mercantile Gazette. COMPOSITION OF THE SHEATHING OF SHIPS.—M. Bobierre has paid considerable attention to this subject, and has arrived at the following conclusions as to the cause of the rapid destruction of some copper and bronze sheath ing :-1. When unalloyed copper is employed, the pre sence of arsenic appears to hasten its destruction. 2. All bronzes which appear to have stood, well, contained from 41 to 51 per cent. of tin, that quantity being necessary to form an homogenous alloy. When the per centage of tin is only 2'5 to 3'5, which is very frequently the case, no definite alloy is produced, and the mass is of unequal com position, and, being unequally acted upon is soon destroyed. 3. When impure copper is employed, the alloy is never homogenous, and is unequally acted upon in consequence. We thus see that the so frequent destruction of the sheath ing of copper-bottomed vessels arises from the tendency to use inferior brittle copper, and by diminishing the propor tion of tin, to economise the difference between the price of that metal and copper, at the same time that the cost of rolling is also less, in consequence of the greater softness of the poor alloy. Bobierre thinks that the addition of a very small proportion of zinc very much improves the bronze, by producing a more perfect and uniform distribu tion of the positive metals, and consequently a much more definite a1107,---Coniptes Rendus. CUSTOMS ORDERS.—The Board of Customs have, with reference to the 356th section of the Customs' Consolida tion Act of the last session of parliament, 16 and 17 Vic., cap. 107, caused the general orders and minutes issued by them in the year 1853 for the regulation of trade, &c., to be printed in collective form. Copies of these orders can be had by merchants and others interested and concerned, on application to the collectors and comptrollers of the Customs, at the several outports throughout the United Kingdom. BILLS OP EXCHANGE BILL.—Lord Brougham's Bill for the registration of dishonoured bills of exchange, and for speedy execution thereon, proposes to provide that bills of exchange and promissory notes may be protested by any attorney or solicitor, and that the holder of any protested bill or note, which is duly stamped and free from erasures or alterations, may at any time within six months after its becoming due, register it with the master of one of the three superior courts of law, and shall thereupon be en titled to judgment and execution against the parties to the bill or note, within six days after service of an order of the court to that effect, to be given to him upon such registra tion ; and power is left with the judge to direct execution with out personal service of the order, if it shall appear to him that the order has come to the knowledge of the party, or that he wilfully evades service of it. Such an order may be served out of the jurisdiction, but the period for obtain ing execution is then to be extended beyond six days. The party served with the order may apply to the court to stay execution, the application to be supported by an affidavit disclosing what would constitute a legal defence, and the court may then stay execution, and direct a trial or a special case for the opinion of the court ; but execution is not to be stayed unless the party seeking to stay it give security for the payment of the bill and costs, or satisfy the court that his signature has been forged, or that the title of the holder is affected with fraud, or that other cir cumstances exist to induce the court to dispense with such security. Where the amount of the bill or note does not exceed £5O it may be registered in the County Court with in the jurisdiction of which the acceptor or maker resides, and the proceedings may be in that court. A judgment order or a bill or note accepted, made, or endorsed, within two months of bankruptcy is to be void. THE FALKLAND ISLES.—The following is the copy of a letter from the commander of the steam-ship Great Britain to the owners, on the advantages of the Falkland Islands as a coaling station :—" Liverpool, Ist April, 1854. Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in complying with your request that I should lay before you a brief state ment of the advantages afforded by the Falkland Islands as a place of call for ocean steamers. Captain Grant, of the Sea Bird, in the very interesting letter which he wrote to you from Stanley relative to the depo sit of coal for the Greet Britain, has already made you aware of the excellence of that harbour, and of its easy access. lam able, from my own experience, to confirm, in every particular, Captain Grant's remarks. The Government charts are exceedingly correct ; the land, as you approach it, is made out without any difficulty ; and we saw Pembroke Point and its beacon (now to be super seded by a light-house) at the distance of seven miles. The harbour itself is like a large dock, secure from all winds, and with an entrance wide enough for a smart sailing vessel to beat through with ease. All the dangerous points are distinctly marked by the kelp, or sea-weed. The anchor age is excellent, varying from four to five fathoms at low water, so that the Great Britain is everywhere in perfect safety ; and, even were she to touch the ground, she would not receive any injury, as the bottom is all soft mud. The facility for watering ships is good ; a reser voir, holding about two hundred tons of water, communi cates by means of pipes with the end of a jetty, where, even when the tide is out, there is always about three feet of water, which is sufficient for a flat boat to float off ten tons at a time. The casks in the boat are filled by fasten ing a short hose to the pipes, and thus one ship can be watered as rapidly as if she were in Liverpool. The Governor, of whose courteous and obliging conduct I can not speak too highly; promised that, should Stanley become a port of call for steamers, a floating tank shall be built, so that water could be alongside the ship imme diately on her arrival, and pumped into the tanks or casks, as the case maybe. There are considerable herds of cattle on the islands, and when put up to feed (as was the case with the great Britain) their beef is very good; vegetables of the more ordinary kind, such as potatoes, cabbages, and turnips, can be had when in season. Ship chandlery:and grocery stores can also be purchased to a limited extent. Labour is scarce, as the population of Stanley (the only settlement) is only about four hundred. But every year, as the islands become better known, this want will, - no doubt, be less felt. I should add that the hulk for coaling the Great Britain was placed in the most convenient situation. I experienced not the slightest difficultyin this or any other matter during the detention of four days in these islands, owing chiefly to the good management of Mr. Dale, the agent for the Falkland Islands' Company, who was immediately in attendance on arrival of the ship, and continued until the hulk with coals was alongside. The zealous attention and kindness of this gentleman to my passengers and myself, whenever his services were required, will always be remembered by us. I remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed,) BARNARD R. MATTIIEWB. — Messrs. Gibbs, Brightaud Co." A coisPANT is about to be formed for the purpose, as the prospectus announces, of enabling the descendants of Israel to obtain and to cultivate the Land of Palestine. DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION.-011 Saturday morn ing, between twelve and one o'clock, a very serious fire broke out In Stockwell-street, Greenwich. It appears that some of the police on duty discovered the fire raging on the premises of Mr. G. Grove, wheelwright. immediately behind the house are the workshops, and the materials, once ignited, blazed up with great rapidity, illuminating the surrounding neighbourhood. Several engines were soon on the spot, but in spite of the utmost-exertions the flames communicated to Mr. B. Sufferitils, licensed victualler, 'the roof of whose billiard-rooms was destroyed, besides other damage. The house of Mrs. Hudson, plumber, Busby-court, London-street, was •also consider ably damaged. The cause of the fire is unknown. ' MAIILBOROUGH-HOUSE. —There is at present submitted to public inspection in the Museum of Art at Marlborough- house a small but exceedingly curious and interesting col lection of models in clay and wax which are believecrto be original studies by Michael Angelo, Raffaelle, Donatello, and other celebrated Italian sculptors. The .collection, having been offered to the French Government.and to the trustees of the British Museum and the National Gallery without finding a purchaser, is now exhibited at Marl borough-house, that it may undergo a carefiil examina tion by the best judges, and have its value ascertained,- Should the result be considered favourable, the Board of Trade may, perhaps, be induced to buy the :collection, which undoubtedly would form an important addition to the Museum. The specimens possessinc , the chief-interest are not more thanbalf-a-dozen in number, and are such as an uneducated ,eye would pass over with indifference ; yet persons the most competent to judge declare that one object alone-said to be the original study in terracotta, by Raffaelle, for 'his Jonah—is worth £1,500, and that the value of the whole cannot be stated at less than £3OOO. The collection, which was found in a house in Florence, appears to be eonsidered genuine by the cog/mm/1i and undoubtedly the best -specimens contained in it 'have a very'highly instructive-character stamped upon them. If they serve no other .purpose than to show the extraor dinary care with which the great Italian masters prepared themselves for the execution of their chefs d'wurre, they would be worth the price put upon them. The Bacchus of Michael Angelo is -seen, -first brought out as a skeleton figure, marvellously executed, and so also with his David, ,the striking anatomical studies for the limbs - of which are Included in the collection. There are also the studies for pis Apollo, his Marsyas, the Hercules and Cacus, which was subSequently executed byinferior hands, and several clam of his greatest works, all pos - sessing eitrent-3 interest to- the lovers- of art. Some of the specimens ascribed to Donatello are worthy of attentive examination .-among them a cow in terra •cotta, which excited an immense sensation in Florence when first discovered, and which, is said to have occupied Bactolini, an eminent pro fessor, three entire lectures in discuesing its merits. The antiquarian interest of the collection is hardly inferior to that Which it possesses on the score of art, and it may be noted as a curious circumstance 'connected therewith that a marvelously-executed human hand in terracotta by Michael Angelo, casts from which are in almost every studio in Europe, is now for the first time produced, and publicly exhibited. - TUE CrrEr OFFICERS AGAIN-ex RuesTA.—Of the five who are to ccmmand divisions, all are of different birth, a Scotchman, a Hanoverian, an Irisbroan, a Canadian, and an Englishman—thus, Sir George Brown is a native of Linkwood, near Elgin, the Duke of Cambridge was born in Hanover, Sir De Lacy Evans in Ireland, Sir Richard England in Upper Canada, the Earl of Lucan is the only Englishman of that rank, and is a Londoner by birth, though Irish by descent. With respect to the fleets, the two highest in command are not Englishmen ; Sir Charles Napier was born in 'Scotland, and Admiral Dundas at Cab cutta, though Scotch lay descent. Among the eleven Bri gadiers-General, H. J. Bentinck (English ?) of Dutch origin, Sir Colin and Sir John Campbell, Scotch, Colonel. Pennefather, a "Tipperary boy," Colonel Yorke Scarlett, of Jamaica descent, while J. B. B. Estcourt is a Londoner, born near Portman-square, and Lord Cardigan, a native of Hambledou, leaving only four unaccounted for, and of these H. W. Adams is probably a native of Warwickshire, Wit- Ham Eyr is, probably, of Nottinghamshire birth, and George Buller a Cornishman. Among the six Assistants Adjutant-General, we notice the two Irish names of Doyle and Sullivan, and two Scotch, Maule and Gordon. The mixed nature of our population is here shadowed forth, but Englishmen have not secured "the lion's share" of the stall' appointments.— Civil Saralee Gazette. . IcEßnEGs.—lcebergs have been moving from the north for several months. On, referring to our memoranda of the drift of Polar ice, we find as follows :-Packet-ship Yorkshire, from Liverpool, passed a large iceberg on the 14th of December, 1853; in lat. 46 30, N., lon. 48 21, W. On the 21st of the samemonth the barqueMagnolia passed an immense island of ice, 'one hundred *et - high, in lat. 4-1 35, N., lon. 48 30, W. On the 14th of February, 1854, ship Parliament, from Liverpool for Boston, lat. 46 50, N., lon. 48, W., saw three large islands of ice, and the same" day saw abundance of field ice. On the 15th of February, 1854, ship Nightingale, from London fOr Boston, in 10.45 52, lon. 47 39, saw a great number of icebergs, and was among the field ice twelve hours. 'On the 24th of Feb.; 1854, the clipper-ship Lightning, in lat. 49 15, N., lon. 431 20, W., passed a large iceberg. • On the 7th of, March ; lBs4, British ship Julia, from London, in lat. 44 14, lon. 49 20, saw a field of ice stretching north and south, as far as the eye - could reach. On the 11th of March, 1854, steam-ship Washington, from Bremen, lat. 43, lon. 50 40, passed four laTge icebergs and a field of iec. The vessels now arriving report abundance of ice °utile' 'Atlantic. In 1842, 1846, and 1847 icebergs were met on the Atlantic in the month of March. In 1850 icebergs were abundant in January, February, March, and April. In ' December, 1850, icebergs commenced moving on the 'Atlantic, and continued unuSually'abUndant till the Ist of August, 1851, when they ceased running.. During this time our register contains the names of one hundred vessels which reported ice in crossing the Atlantic, and among theSe was a vessel bound from Limerick to Quebec, which reported an im mense body of ice upon which they, saw two ships housed in, which were, no doubt, the Erebus and Terror,. compos ing the expedition' of si r John -Franklin. In 1843 but four vessels reported ice on the Atlantic, and in 1846 but three vessels ; and in 1848 the Atlantic between the United States and'Europe was wholly free from ice.

Thus, if I were on a Scandinavian highroad, and were in the way of a traveller, he g might possibly shout from his slede " A thousad devils !" If I were to take no heed of so , insignificant n a number of devils as one thousand, he might improve his position by the exclamation, " Ten thousand devils !" Say that I remained unmoved, even in the face 6f so fearful an array, he would cap all by the exclamation, " Ten thousand Pomeranian devils !" And then, of course, I must let the excited gentleman pass me. This illustration will explain my meaning, viz., that according to the intensity of anger is the number of devils. A man must be in the paroxysm of rage, however, before he commits himself with "Ten thousand Pomeranian devils !" These specimens of Swedish oaths may be of use to those gentlemen who have a fancy for varying their swearing, picking out a pet oath, as they pick out a hat, for each season.— A Brage-breaker with the Swedes.

MANCHESTER—The improvement in this market has cleared off the greater part of the stocks of y a rn s which had begun to accumulate; and spinners are,-in many instances, again under contract for various periods. 'The business of the week for export yarns has been to a very fair extent. The principal purchases have been for India, but a faii inquiry has been experienced both for Germany and other quarters. ManufactUrers continue to purchase with caution, not giving out any extended orders. Prices are decidedly better, and the great irregularity pre vailing of late has disappeared. In cloth the improvement is not so clearly defined. For some sorts of goods, princi pally the lighter descriptions, there has been a pretty fair demand, but 'prices remain very low, so much so as to snake the manufacture far from remunerative ; and what ever May ultimately be resolved upon, there is at present no diminution in the expression of intentions to adopt shoß time. • BRADFORD.—WooI : Few purchases have been made during the week, and these only for immediate consump tion. Prices continue in favour of the buyer. Noils and shorts without change.—Yarns': The home manufacturers have generally succeeded - in placing their contracts upon better terms than last month. Many spinners continue to 'curtail their production ; and, should this continue, we may - hope to realise better prices' ere long. The shippers still continue out of the market.—Pieces : The same inac tivity continues as for several weeks, and no improvement in' the demand, although merchants are more inclined to operate when any very great inducement is offered. NOTTINGHAM.—Since our 'last report the downward price of yarn had received a check in'te 21.1anchester-mar ket, which induces us to think that for a time coarse yarns, suitable for the great bulk of hosiery goods, have reached their lowest point; unless the price of the raw material is considerably'reduced, of which there is 'not at present an apparent probability. - The price of finer yarns has been again reduced a trifle, but in this we anticipate a slight reaction, as itis impossible for spinners'to continue selling at present rates without a 'corresponding reduction In the price of sea island cotton. The present depression is mainly owing to a temporary panic, caused by the war, which will speedily be obviated; for although the ordinary channels of trade are"StOpped,•means will be - found to sup ply'gOods that are wanted even by 'our enemies. We find Russian merchants even now are sending their orders to France, nearly as usual fOr silks and velvets. Demand for goods has not - increased for foreign taarket, While for home consumption thereis not so much frilling off in any description of hosiery' goods; but' the lace 'trade is evi dently flatter than at the corresponding period of f ormer years. HUDDERSFIELD.—There hai been very few buyers in the market. The amount of business done has been much the Same as last Wea; the fancy waisteeatings and woollens there has been very little doing for several weeks past, and the prospect of a demand in that branch seems as distant as ever. The wool trade is very flat, and during the week the staplers have complained of a want of business. CORN. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 11.-At this morning's market we had a numerous attendance, amongst whom were seve ral extensive millers from distant parts of the country ; the trade opened briskly, an active inquiry continuing to the close, and large transactions were made in wheat, the depression noted on Friday last being nearly recovered, so that we reduce our quotations but little from those of this day week ; the sales were almost entirely to consu mers. We have also had a healthy large demand for flour, much of which was for the country ; 38s. per barrel was the extreme closing rate for choice Baltimore brands, and other descriiitions in proportion, as quoted below. Barley quiet, without change of value. Egyptian beans commanded ls. per qr. advance, and other kinds, with a better inquiry, are somewhat dearer. Oats and oatmeal are in good request, the former at Id. per bushel improve ment, and the latter at full prices. Indian corn, fine qua lities of which are scarce, is taken to a fair extent upon Irish orders, at our extreme currencies. . BRITISH. FORRION. Wheat, * 701 b., s. (1. s. d. Wheat,' 701 h, s. d. 8. d.

English flour, however, being comparatively dearer than American, did not parti cipate in this improvement. Oats were likewise Id to 2d per bushel higher, and barley 3d. PRESTON, APRIL 15.—The supply of English wheat, at our Corn Exchange, this morning, was insignificant ; but previous rates being high, a further advance was not att linable. From granary, the demand for all descrip tions was a little more active, without much change from the last currency. Sack flour dull. American and Cana dian declined 6d per barrel in the early part of the week, and being relatively cheaper than wheat, brought in buyers to a fair amount, prices closing firm. No change as regards oats. Oatmeal held with firmness • but being less sought after, quotations are little more than nominal. WAKEFIELD, APRIL 14.—There is a very short supply of grain reported this week. Our market being held off the usual day, we have only a thin attendance of buyers, and the business done is limited. Wheat fully maintains the prices of last Friday, fresh parcels being more in request. Barley slow sale, at lower rates. Beans fully as dear. Oats creep up in value, and shelling is is per load higher. Arrivals : Wheat, 3,134 ; barley, 560; oats, 33 ; beans, 677; peas, 9 ; shelling, 180; flour, 60. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APRIL 15.—Our farmers brought a fair supply of wheat to market this morning, which was sold at an advance of from is to 2s per quarter over the prices of this day se'nnight. A fair amount of business was done in south country and foreign, at fully the rates of last Saturday. No material change in the value of barley, but the turn in favour of the seller. Oats in good supply and is to 2s per quarter dearer. Flour in moderate demand at late prices. WISBECH, APRIL 15.—We have a fair show of wheat to-day, and the prices of last week are rather exceeded for all fresh qualities, Granaried parcels meet a slow sale at former rates. Bans and oats fully as dear. CORK, APRIL 15.—The market this week in general has been very inactive ; in the absence of buyers the prices of wheat and flour remain• nominally as before quoted. Indian corn receded 2s 6d per ton. DUBLIN, APRIL 13.—1 n consequence of Good Friday, the corn market was held on Thursday, but as usual, when out of course, it was scarcely aetended, and we repeat our quotations of Tuesday for everything.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 17.—We have had a smaller supply of cattle at this day's market, which met a more active inquiry at the full rates of last week, and in some cases an advance was realised. Sheep only met a slow sale at barely last week's currencies. Good beef worth 6-id to 6d per lb ; mutton, 7id to 8d per lb. SALFORD, APRIL 12.—Cows, 1,712 • sheep, 4,800. Beef from 5d to 6. id ; sheep in wool, 74d to 8d ; clipped sheep, lad to 61d ; lamb, 10d to is ; calves, 5d to 7d. A heavy market, particularly for middle class things. DUBLIN, Aram 13.—Preparatory to Easter, town buyers bought rather freely of fat cattle, from 51s to 56s per cwt. in sink, or from £22 to £27 lOs a head for heavy. Heifer beef touched 60s. Middling and inferior were difficult to sell from 48s upwards, owing to the dulness of the English markets. Sheep were scarce, and brought 61-d to 71(1, and in some instances Sd per lb; veal, 81-d to 9d; lambs, 18s to 24s each. As yet no shearling sheep have appeared in the market. The pig market large, but the demand not near so good as List week. Sales slower, at a reduction of is per cwt—qubted 46s to 47s per cwt. Pork 51-d. PROVISIONS, LIVERPOOL, APRIL 13.—There is a steady but not active demand for beef. The receipts to this date, as com pared with last year, show a falling off to the extent of 12,800 tierces. For pork there is a moderate inquiry, and our stocks are low. Holders of bacon continue pressing sellers, and a farther reduction of is per cwt. has been established this week, without leading to an active trade. Shoulders and hams are in moderate request. Lard is a slow sale, ar 53s to 518, .as in quality ; there is less pressure to sell on the part of holders than was expected from such large arrivals. ' No new feature in cheese ; stock about exhausted. Grease butter has been sold at 58s per cwt. APRIL 17.—There was a large inquiry for butter from consuming districts last week, and no old of good quality now remains. New Cork and Limerick are much wanted, and the first arrivals will, doubtless, sell at high rates. The price of new Waterford is too high for many of the dealers, bat as the demand exceeds the supply it has all been sold on or before being landed. Waterford, new, 120 s to 1255; Limerick, new, 110 s to 112 s, and pickled Cork seconds, 100 s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland, from the Bth to the 14th instant, both inclusive, 2808 firkins, 100 kegs, 125 crocks, 108 boxes, 104 barrels butter, 10 bales bacon, 7 hhds. 10 tierces and 16 kegs lard. ST.

LIVERPOOL.—There have been no arrivals of either Baltic or colonial timber during the week. One cargo of St. John pine, of small average girth, arrived last month, has been sold from the quay at 2s 31d per foot, with birch at 22d. One cargo of deals has come up from St. John, N. 8., which is now being landed and yarded for importer's account, The transactions in this article have not been extensive, the pressing cargoes being all cleared off. Those remaining in first hand.s are held for higher rates, present prices being much below cost of importation. The stocks in dealers' hands are becoming very much reduced, and to supply orders high prices have to be paid for lengths. . . PACKET LIST. . . ... ~. . .
