Zkt Cirtizu Varket, -The improved demand noticed in the Cotton Market at the date of our last has been again experienced throughout the present week, and the daily sales have been over the average ; but our prevent large stock affords so plentiful s a selection, that prices of American are barely a quotation dearer. Brazil and Egyptian slightly dearer. Surat in good demand at full rateE. The weekly sales are reported 73,460 bales, of 38 for which 4,480 are on speculation, and 1, export. Ztt Vrribisizus Bade: The Liverpool Provisions Market continues quiet. With a limited demand. for Beef, and continued liberal supplies, the market rules very d u ll, and the few sales reported are at lower prices. In Pork the transactions are to a fair ex tent, but chiefly in old, which attracts a little speculative attention. For Bacon there is an active inquiry, and prices have advanced during the week about 2s per cwt.; the sales are larger than for some time past, and the.tendency of the market is still upwards. Hams and shoulders also are more looked after. Lard, under the influence of considerable arrivals, remains quiet prices are not lower, but the sales are unimpor tant. Cheese is less active ; the dealers buy more sparingly, keeping their stocks light, in the an ticipation of the new make. Butter is lower, and the demand has greatly fallen off for American and Canadian, new Irish being now more plentiful. Tallow is a slow sale, though offered at lower rates.

The Liverpool Share Market, owing to a most favourable change of weather, coupled with excel lent traffic returns and an easier condition' of the Money Market, has experienced a material change for the better; and although there has not been lunc h business done dniing the week, there has b een a continuous demand for bona fide invest ments, and prices of the most current descriptions of §tock exhibit an advance of from 1 to 2 per cent. To-day London and North Western Stock has been in very prominent demand, and at the close there were strong buyers of it at £lO2.

"Igarkt (From 4. F. ,S. D. 21Iack; Circtilar,) Since our annual circular, dated Ist February, 21 vessels, 11,275 tons register, wood-laden, have arrived from British North America, viz.,-17 fro m St. John, N. B 1 As - is ~ and 4 from other ports ; at the same date last yea r , vessels, 11 AY ,- a tons had arrived. 'generally the case 'at this ; time of thelear,the, trade ha 'timber has scarcely as yet given la , decided indication of wh a t particu lar., character it is likely. t o assume duringthe a conjectu re principal business season:' So fa r can be safely hazarded, however, there does not appear to be any reason for appiehendingan,unfa vourable issue. The general trade of the -country continues prosperous, and it gives evidence of a still further advance in the direction Which for the last few months has been productive of such generally admitted satisfaction. All classes in the manu facturing districts are still fully employed, and it is said that the orders now on hand among the leading houses will keep them fully occu pied for several months to come ; so far then as present appearances go, 'every kind of indus try seems full of promise. Few of the con ditions pertinent to sublunary matters are with out alloy, and even the prosperity to which we have so pointedly alluded is not altogether unaccompanied by serious drawbacks. For some time past a continued drain upon the resources of the Bank of England induced that establishment to impose successive additions to' the rate of dis count, a proceeding, no matter what its cause, which at all times exercises an unfavourable , influence upon trade. The winter has-been an un prolonged one, and of such severity as to have seriously retarded agricultural opera tions; to such an extent, indeed, as to have awakened considerable apprehensions with respect to our food siipply,in the coining, allturnAi and ? ,_ if possible, still farther to increase tits causes of uncertainty by which commercial and. raanufac taring matters are'lieset,'a 'feeling otdis; atisfac: tion, and a spirit of insuborainatiOn appears to be manifesting itself ;among the operatives. This latter, as a matter which, if carried to any extent, is so invariably hurtful to the interests of every c l as s of. .community ; it is sincerely to be wished will meet with little encouragement, and it is further to be hoped that the good sense, right feeling, and mutual interests of employers and employed will obviate any diffi culty and lead to a reciprocal interchange of kind offices, and the establishment of a proper under -standing between them., The second cause of uneasiness to which we have referred, namely, that occasioned by the backward state of the . season, seems now in a fair way of being remedied. During the, last day or two of the past, and since the commencement of the present month, a favour able change has taken place with respect to the state of the weather, and, with a propitious continuance, there is no present ground for apprehending serious difficulty ; on the contrary, from the fine condition in which the land has been left by•the late severe frosts, and the probability of an uninterrupted continuation of a mild or rather warm temperature, there is every reason to hope for a favourable result to the labours of the hus bandman. Even the money market, that delicate harometer of the public well-being begins to manifest . a more settled and satisfactory con dition of affairs, and the general impression is .towards belief in an improving state of our com mercial relations. Other, that is to say political causes of dis turbance—to which in our two last circulars we considered it necessary to allude at some length —seem to have in a great measure subsided, or at least they have ceased to operate directly on the general trade of the county, and the first impression so made having passed away without material detriment to any important interest, the causes themselves have to a considerable extent ceased to exercise any very decided influence, or to be regarded with much anxiety. PINE TIMBER.—The stock of this timber from Quebec having received no augmentation since our last, and the consumptive sale, merely by retail, having been to a considerable, indeed a satisfactory extent, the stock on hand has become very light. The incoming import will necessarily, therefore, arrive in a bare state of the market. From St. John the stock is also small, and the sales effected since our last have been chiefly in retail quantities. RED PINE.—In this there has been but little busi ness done. OAK continues in moderate demand ; but the sales effected are chiefly by retail. ELM AND Asx.—Of these the stocks still continue large, with only a moderate business done, and no public sales to note. N.B. AND N.S. PINE AND SPRUCE DEALS.—Since our last there have been several sales of these articles by auction, at prices which have exhibited only slight fluctuations, although, on the whole, the tendency has been to lower figures. On the 4th ult., the date of our last circular, from the yard, a portion of the cargo of spruce, imported in the Yorick, from St. John,- realised an average of £9 4s 2d. Since then sales of fine parcels have taken place under similar circumstances, averaging £9 is 6d, £9 is Od, £8 19s Bd, £8 19s, and £8 17s 10d. On the 20th ult., 6,602 pieces pine deals, also from St. John were sold in lots, at from £8 15s to £9 10s, averaging 36 id; on the 27th, about 10,000 pieces, ex American Union, sold at from £8 103 to £9 2s 6d, averaging £8 15s 9d: Two lots of boards, amounting to 12,000 pieces, realised from £9 Os. to £9 7s 6d per standard. As is usual at this season, buyers are taking quantities merely from hand to mouth, causing a very unsettled condition of values, and obviously waiting to ascertain the circumstances under which the new import will be brought to market. QuEntc DEALS.- , -Of these no public sales are reported. HARDWOOD.—On the 20th ult. 47 logs, ex Great Notthern, were sold in five lots, 19/ inch calliper aver age, realising 2s. 3d. per foot. Plzen PINE.—The market is moderately supplied with Pitch Pine ; and several 'sales to a small extent have been effected, but altogether by private treaty. GREENITEART.—In this there have been no public transactions to record. E. I. TEAK.—A large cargo of this has arrived since the date of our last. It was bought to arrive. BALTIC TI3IBER.—The transactions in this have been unimportant, and principally by private treaty. LONDON, FRIDAN EVENING. In the LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECU RITIES, Consols have been rather heavy all day upon money sales, and close dull at 95 3-16 to ,3-16 for money, and 95k to for June account. Indian, 1061 to t.

The telegraphic accounts from Bombay reach to the 11th. of April, and show a favourable movement of 1 per cent. in the rate of exchange, the quotation being 2s. 15-16 d. A rise 'of 14 per cent. is announced in the rupee 5 per cents., and 2 in the 51 per cents., the respective quota lions being 99 1051-.—Time. s. The stock markets were decidedly strong to-day. The more satisfactOry appearance of the money market, and the continued rise on the Paris Bourse, inspire confidence, whilst the improvement in the weather contributes to relieve, uneasiness on account of the backwardness of the season. Consols remain firm at the closing quotations of yesterday. • At the discount office at the Bank to-day the applica tions were more numerous than during the last day or two, owing partly, probably, to preparations for the bills maturing on the fourth. In other quarters the terms for the best bills were 41 to 4i per cent ; for four months' paper 5 per cent. was demanded, and for six months 53 per cent.—Daily Yews.

The Liverpool Market for Oil Seeds is not quite so buoyant as last week. Rapeseed continues high in price, and as much as 60s 6d has been paid for fine Guzerat, but this is chiefly owing to . our stocks i?ping, very much ;educed ; the deinand for consumption is rather limited.

Freights are fully 2s to 3s per ton lower for India and China this week, and vessels are only placed with difficulty, as there is considerably less demand for tonnage. Homewards there are but few charterers, and our quotations cannot be exceeded. Timber freights are firm, but the quo tations are considerably lower, and in consequence several vessels are leaving here unchartered, expecting to get better rates at the port of load ing.

THE DAY'S NEWS. • There is another fuior against bribery at Elections beginning to preiail, even among those who are themselves, or many of . them, by . no means free from the taint of such corruption, in their own election experiences. Not only is the borough of Berwick-on-Tweed, like Wakefield and Gloucester, to undergo the fiery ordeal of a Com Mission of Inquiry into its naughtiness in that way, but one of the election agents there is to be made the victim of a Government prose cution for perjury before the Election Committee of the House of Commons in the case of the late disputed return,—and, more than this, and still more fearful, the actual bribers at Wakefield are actually to be prosecuted by her Majesty's Attorney-General, including; it is said, nzirabile dictu ! Mr. Leathern himself, Mr. John Bright's brother-in-law and compatriot though he be. Of this latter of intelligence,' however, we must confess that we are . somewhat sceptical. And yet it will be altogether a farce unless he, as a notorious briber; be included in such' a ,prose outran"; if any such is really to take place. As was well remarkedon,:the Opposition' side of the House the other these eomniissioni was -merely :a 7 screen to a fault which they desired to' Perpettrate—at least it would be so looked upon' by the country, which was sick of this hypocrisy ; for if they wanted to stop bribery it must be by something more than commissions. What would they do with this commission if they got it ? Would they unseat the sitting members ? That was an absur • dity.. Wotild they reverse the decision of 'the committee ? That would be an insult to the committee." Of course if would. • And yet, if strict and severe, justice,be done, virtually reverse it they must. Nay, if strict, and severe justice is to be done, generally and impartially; how.many • , other seats are there that must be "vacated on similar grounde—,-how many more boroughs' are there that require.cominissions of inquiry? 10)w many hon. members, too, are there, representing Such boroughs, that require to be prosecuted ? This is the point. It is not so much the 'poor elector who is tempted with a bribe, and whose poverty rather than his will, perhaps, consents, as it is the rich candidate, like Mr. Bright's brother-in-law, who tempts and corrupts him. The , House of Commons must begin these prosecutions among its own members. There, as everywhere else, reformation, like charity, must begin at home. Yesterday the Times made another of its ,Tump-jint- Crow performances. Now that the House of Commons, as it pretends, has "affirmed the main principles of the Reform Bill,"—though we deny that it has really done anything of the kind,—it is all right ;. whereas hitherto, ever sine the measure was introduced, it has been all wrong! All the dangers. Which the leading but vacillating journal saw in it but the day before, are now dispersed by the magical act of a relue tant assent to its being read a second time ! HoWever mischievous it might be befoie,: , --alid none of its critics have expesed and deaeUt'eccf ita mischievous character so forcibly as they of Prin tin gn ous liiireVAlleerch to be perfectly safe an4' , .;lnnoctiotis,- '`..5.11641. 11 the Refornlcd Parliumiitt," it is observed, " re:Nit • a : 1 . very *4157 sani.e men that'jiiid paised the r7f) • Reforin..llill, we shall neither be..,displeyed nor surprise l Soule mange there tilivays,4- , -= , more • generally tilt*:is .expected; nor wilt:there be much more, NiiciVentgre to pre4ictiat the General Election of 1861 or 1862." go that, according to this, the Bill about which so much fuss is made will be utterly ineffective, and is therefore worse than needless. 0, but, it is affectedly said, " there,will be increased confidence and satisfac tion ; perhaps, too, an increased sense of reponsi bility on the part of the representatives." "What stuff! What chaff to scatter to a gullible multi tude! And what gross venality, moreover, on the part of a public journal which all along has been telling , us,: that so far from being. calculated to produde "'increased confidence and satisfaC tion," it must shake all confidence, and give no satisfaction whatever ! If there be any truth—and it is still believed there is—in the rumour of a secret alliance between France and Denmark—;one of its objects, or pretexts, being to aid-the Danish Government in its 'claims in Schleswig, as- opposed to those of Prussia 7 —the project will be very likely to receive encouragement frOna what is reported to have fallen from the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Chamber of Deputies a few days since. " Having in view the present state of things in Schleswig," were the Minister's words .9 the Federal Diet could hardly neglect any further its duty of examining what Germany is entitled to demand in consequence of the conven tions concluded in 1851 and 1852,"—emphati cally adding, " We cannot accept the acts of Denmark as a fulfilment of the obligations she has undertaken. Prussia takes the interest of the Gerrhan Duchies to heart, and both as a Federal and as a European Power she will do for them all that lies in her power." Nov this is just what Denmark does not wish Prussia to do; and not only does the French . Emperor sym pathise with Denmark, but he would be but too glad, it Is supposed,•of the opportunity of inter fering in her behalf, and thereby humiliating Prussia. The case of Sicily is again becoming most alarming. We expressed our apprehension only yesterday, that the atrocities committed by the royal troops—of course in pretended support of the royal cause—would not improbably recoil upon the royal party; that a day would come when revenge would have to' be satisfied, and retribu tion to be obtained. And already is this coming to pass. Later accounts report that the insurrec-, tion has again broken out. And if it be true' that Garibaldi has arrived in the island—with some reinforcements, too, for the insurgent forces —there would seem to be a certainty of the con flict becoming more fearful than ever, and very little doubt of its finally issuing in Sicilian inde- . pendence. The Queen and her Royal Consort seem deter-. mined that, in the case of. Prince Alfred, it shall not be said he found any " royal road" to the naval promotion towards which he is advancing. The youthful sailor-Prince is again at his post, as a " middy" of the Euryalus. He rejoined his ship at Portsmouth the day before yesterday, and is by this time on his way to the Cape of Good Hope. Further large arrivals of gold from Australia, it will be seen, may in Vie course of the next few weeks be expected. Advices have come to hand that considerably over half-a-million's worth was shipped from Melbourne towards the end of FebruarY and the beginning of March. , 7 The French Emperor,_ fit. will be. seen, is still going on improving the efficiency of his navy. He has just caused a bill to be introduced to the Legislative Chamber, increasing the number of Admirals to twelve, and of Vice-Admirals to twenty-four. The Pope, it appears, is going to have a for midable military force placed in an effective state of organisation under General Lamoriciere. But not, it is deelared, to act against' the Romag nas,—for the present, at least. The devotion of the people to their new Sovereign shows, indeed, that there can be no hope of his Holiness recovering dominion there. THE fact of the Reform Bill having passed a second reading without a division,- although not until the debate had demonstrated it as a great nuisance to the House, is one of deep significance. Hero is a measure which at least two-thirds of the House, we will be bound to say, in their inmost hearts, are decidedly averse to ; and yet such is the state of the case, through the machi nations of faction, they did not dare openly to oppose its progress. We are rather inclined to concur with Mr. GLADSTONE, that, with so much evident dislike to the Bill, it would have been much more statesmanlike and dignified a proceed ing to have rejected it at once, rather than attempt so crooked a device as that of wearing it out by delay. But then he was not the man to complain of so devious a course—he who has himself furnished so striking an illustration of such courses. Not " The devious paths where Wanton fancy treads," — but those which have to be trod where one falls into political tergiversation and. apostasy. And his. speech on this very occasion only serves •to illustrate still more deplorably the degrading depths of such a fall,—a speech that might have become a life-long Radical like Mr. BRIGHT, but could do _no credit to one who has hitherto pro fessed to be a Conservative like Mr. GIADSTONE , and who has thereby only shown how dexterous, yet opprobious, is his aptitude.to • . , "Change shapes, with Protons, for advantageS."- In considering ,stich.a pleasure, as : the ,Reform Bill, it is important to bear in mind what are the circumstances under which it -has been brought forward, and who it is that claims to' be its author. The circumstances, then, were certainly not such as could conduce to the propriety, let alone the perfection of such a Bill. Remember, it is a Bill that disturbs the very foundations of the Constitution itself. Its avowed object, indeed, is to admit a larger infusion of the democratic element into the Constitution than ever was con templated 'Under its provisions, Or than ever can be compatible with ifs principles.' 'One great object, of. the British COnstitution is to maintain a balance of political power in the realm ; and doubtless 'to this is mainly - attributable the stability of Our political institutions, and the safety of our. political progress. The Constitu tion of no country has ever lasted so long is that of England ; and in no other country has there been so much popular liberty enjoyed, with so much constitutional privilege preserved. But now, by this Bill, it is proposed so to alter, so to deteriorate; the representation of the people in Parliament, as will have the effect of deranging the whole system of legislation and governance— of upsetting the balance of political power—of giving an overwhelming influence to the demo cracy of the country. And this is to be done, because it was found requisite to bargain that it should be done, in order that a Conservative Ministry might' be overthrown, and a Whig- Liberal Ministry put in its stead! The Whigs could no longer restrain their greed Of place; and to recover it they did net scrupl e to barte r away all that was const itutional in - the Principle° pro fessed, and to commit t h em selves to a fra nchise to a give a prePond ent ine of 'power. of Parliamentary Reform therhad hitherto so. low as to Class - o f Parliamentary e l e ctors more vicious, and s therefore more ifaitgettlik, than has erryet been .Xmt/I entrusted with so serious a responsibility. It is not that the element itself which such a class contains in so great intensity is to be altogether excluded from our representative system. But it is an clement which can never, in a monar chical form of Government, be suffered to have the preponderance,—simply because it would thereby become destructive of the whole monarch ical system. It were a strange anomaly, there fore, to find men who have been placed in the position of constitutional advisers of the Crown, and administrators of the affairs of a Monarchy, thus lending themselves to the enactment of a measure so directly calculated to demolish that Crown, and destroy that Monarchy. But they could not gain their factious ends without it. The party whose support . was essential to the success of their assault on the Administration of . Lord Derby, would not aid them much unless they pledged themselves to a measure thus revo lutionary and - destructive. Such are 'plainly and positively the circumstances of the ease ; and they are such, it will be admitted, as must at least create a suspicion of any measure of Reform brought forward under the obligations they in volve—were there no other reason for apprehen- sion and mistrust. Then see who it is that claims to be the author of the Bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL,' who, during the whole of his public life has been playing the game of faction. IVell, and timely is it said of him, in one of the periodicals of the current month, that "popularity- and place have evidently been the end of his small ambition from the first — to combine these under the head of power, and in his own person, his only aim ; and we find him, consequently, always on terms of friendship with time and the hour,' as might be expected. He has frequently succeeded in consummating his hopes by the acquisition of power ; but with how paltry a result ! Success has always halted on the threshold of power. • He- has been feared by none, save for his power to do mischief.",*, * Constitutional Tress Magazine. Again, on the same authority we have it shown that " popular clamour—ever more dependent for continuance upon the vigour of some interested demagogue, and consequently in its nature and of necessity, spasmodic and unhealthy, and purely temporary in its influence—was always potent with Lord JOHN RUSSELL. • The possibility of a present danger he has ever been ready to predict and 'picture, to announce and fear ; the people, therefore have been led at times to denominate him as a friend—for he not only Yields`_ tb their' demands, and undertakes to aid any cause, no matter how black it may be, provided it presents itself to his attention backed up by a demonstration; but, by such a course, he also helps to raise democratic self-assumption and and ignorant self-esteem to an intolerable degree. The working classes,' as the phase is, are still, and always have been, the greatest terror of his mind; because, from the first, he lacked the fore sight to discriminate between the tramp of a tipsy rabble, and the steady measured tread of assured, power ; and he has ever been ready to effect a compromise with disaffected ignorance, and to purchase immunity from its threats of violence by sacrifices of the nation's rights, and subtle underminings of the Constitution." Such is the author of the Ministerial. Reform Bill, — only Ministerial because he and his confederates 'could not get into their places without commit ting themselves to it—many of them, as is well known, directly contrary to their principles, and therefore quite against their consciences. Well may even the Ministerial patty in Parliament be averse to, and unwilling to indorse, a measure thus originating, and coming from hands so prostituted. Perhaps the severest—as certainly it is the jusiest—denuneiation of Lord JOHN and his ugly bantling, was that which Lord LYNDHURST could not refrain from giving expression to in the House of Lords the other evening, in his extraordinarily powerful and most seasonable speech on ourpresent national insecurity. " Lastly, my lords," said this venerable peer, " a noble lord in the other House of Parliament, not finding sufficient ern ‘ ployment for his energies in watching the course of events in Europe, which require all his atten tion and all his powers of mind, moved by a spirit of restless mischief, living only in troubled waters, has thought it right at this moment to bring forward a measure for the purpose of opposing one class of the community to another, and entirely remodelling our Constitution at a moment when all men ought to come forward in its support, as I trust they will do." No severer, yet juster, reproof, we say, could, in so few but weighty words, have been given, than this, of the character and tendency of this measure. And it is an exposure of it that puts the whole matter in its true light. The measure itself is one of "restless mischief "—as well as this being the spirit by which its factious author has been moved. But in this, as in 1 former perils, there will doubtless be presented to the nation an occasion to reiterate once more the grateful exclamation—" Thank God, we have a House of Lords !" THE FRAUDS ON THE UNION BANK. The examination of Pullinger was resumed yesterday, at the Mansion-house. Mr. Wm. Gomm, cashier of the bank, deposed that on April 12th, on balancing the notes in the tills of the cashiers, he found there was £350 deficient. The prisoner told him that he had had the money out on miscellaneous bills, and gave the number of the notes of which that £350 consisted, and also a memorandum of the deficiency.—The next witnesses were Mr. James Sheldon and Mr. Robert Johnston, members of the Stock Exchange. To one of them pri soner had paid £l5O on the 12th April, and to the other £2OO on the same day.—Two clerks from different banking houses proved that the notes paid in by Mr. Sheldon and Mr. Barton bore the same numbers as the notes comprised in the deficiency, and which numbers had been given: to Mr. Gomin by 'the prisoner on the 12th April.—Mr. Barton, a clerk in the Union Bank, kept the accounts of all sums paid into the Bank of England. On the authority of a docket in the prisoner's hand writing the £3.50 was set clOwn as having been paid into the Bank of England on the 12th April.—A clerk from the Bank of England proved that there was no entry of £350 having been paid into that bank on the day in question.—The prisoner, in reply to whether he wished to ask the witnesses any questions, said "No ; I do not wish to give any trouble."—His Lordship, after saying it was his intention to commit him for trial, also asked the prisoner if he had anything to say, to which a reply in the negative was given. The depositions having been read • over, the prisoner was committed for trial.— Frederick Lyttleton, late a clerk in the Union Bank, was then placed by the side of Pullinger in the dock, arid both were arraigned upon a charge of stealing £3,000. Mr. Lewis, by the wish of Pullinger, appeared for , Lyttleton. Pullinger pleaded guilty; Lyttleton was discharged,' and the Lord Mayor told him that he would leave the court with a character as unstained as when he 'entered it. BETT!NO.—A singular wager was made in Chicago on the day before the municipal election in that city. Wentworth and Gurney were the opposing candidates for the Mayoralty. The bet was between a Water street merchant and Ned Osborne, of the Tremont House, the largest cigar and tobacco dealer in the. city, and was to the effect that if Wentworth was not elected, Osborne should have the privilege of kicking the Water-street merchant aforesaid from the Tremont House to Springer-street. The day after the elec tion, the merchant having lost, came to Osborne's.sttor(ei and presented his person to him for the eontempelaL kicks, and demanded that Osborne s hould ta k stakes. Osborne had been training hisprbigah right leg all the mvy day previous, previous, and had ared-hi s u foot hide boot, with soles as thick asuclta Osborne delivered a bi ‘ m;ds. The incr.
