The heavy sales have given a firmer tone to the market, and it may be said to have recovered the slight depression above re ferred to. In Rapeseed nothing of note has been done, and the price is lower. To-day fi ne Bombay Linseed is worth 50s 3d to 50s 6d per qr., according to quality and character of bags: Patna, 49s ; ordinary Bengal, 48s 6d; Guzerat Rape, 55s to 58s (no buyers above 565); fine - Brown Bombay, 50s to 515; ordinary Bengal, 49s to 50s. Linseed Oil in better demand, at £2B in casks. Linseed cake quiet, at £9 15s to £lO for English. Rape Oil continues dull: brown at £39, refined, £4l to £42.

The Freight Market is less animated, owing to the abundance of tonnage offering for the East ; outward rates are lower, and merchants are reluctant to operate, as their requirements are well supplied, and they are anticipating a further fall in the rates.

Gross. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECURITIES, to-day, was rather firmer, and an improvement of per cent. has taken place. Little business going forward, Stock Exchange wearing a dull appear ance. Attention is chiefly directed to prepara tions for Monday's settlement in shares and foreign stocks. The Funds closed at the following prices :-- Consols, Money ,„ _Account Exchequer Bills Bank Stock 224 6 Three per Cents . .• The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday : The Times city article controverts the idea that the recent pressure in the money market is in some way to be traced to the action of the Bank in refusing accom modation to the discount houses. The stock market opened this morning with a very settled appearance, but the measure of the Bank, instead of leading to _a further decline, caused a favourable reaction, and prices closed,with an appearance of more steadiness than has been observable for two or.three days. There has been rather less pressure in the discount mar ket, and at the Bank the applications were not nearly equal to those of yesterday. The joint-stock banks have raised their allowance on deposits to 4 per cent. For sums below £5OO, however, the London and Westmins ter give only 3. The discount houses allow 4 per cent. for money at call, and 4i with a few days notice. There was no withdrawal of gold of any consequence from the Bank.—Times. As usual, the alteration at the Bank had been antici pated in the Stock Exchange. In the morning, the funds underwent a fresh decline of per per cent., but soon after the rise in the Bank rate had transpired, a recovery took place to yesterday's final quotations, at which the market closed with steadiness. The share markets were likewise dull in the morning, and firmer in the afternoon. British railway stocks were particularly strong, the effect of the rise in the value of money being neu tralised by the remarkable increase in the traffic, holders abstained from selling. Notwithstanding the rise in the rate, the condition of the general money market is quite as unsettled as it was before. Only choicest short paper was negotiable to-day at 5 per cent., the terms demanded in other instances being 51 to 6 ad upwards. —Daily News. The LONDON SHARE. MARKET to-day opened steady at about the closing price of yesterday, and towards the middle of the day improved, but closed rather dull. Canadian dull ; French no change.

Flour finds a ready and rather active sale, but higher prices are not yet made either for sacks or barrels. Beans are held for a trifle more money. Oats and Oatmeal rather dearer, with business to a moderate amount. A good many transactions are again reported in Indian Corn, the market closing with an advance of is to is 3d per quarter ; Ibralia 35s 9d to 365, Galata 36s 9d to 37s per 480 lbs. in store. The imports this week of the leading articles of foreign produce are light; the exports to a fair extent. The markets of the interior continue to strengthen, and we note an advance on Wheat of is per quarter this week, with lessening deliveries of home growth, and more evidence of drawing upon the outports for supplies. The Gazette returns of Wheat for the week ended 7th April are 102,135 quarters, showing a falling off of 14,693 quarters as compared with the previous week. Here, in the interval from Tuesday, we have experienced a good demand for Wheat, in some instances at a small advance. Flour sold steadily at full prices. The chief business has been in Indian Corn, of which a large quantity has been taken at advancing rates. ARRIVALS AND EXPORTS From the 10th to the 12th April, 1860, inclusive. Standard for deals. We have to note an improve ment in rates to U.S. ports. Passengers are abundant, which affects freights favourably.

The declaration of General Garibaldi in the Sardinian Parliament on Thursday, that the vote in Nice, on the question of annexation to France, will be effected under French pres Sure, and the proposal to adjourn the voting in consequence, must be very gall and wormwood to Louis Napoleon. His Imperial Majesty's " French pressure" is a process of wonderful effiCaCy. Why, it is the very process to which he owes his "election" to be the Emperor of the French The French Emperor appears to be more and more anxious that he should be understood just as he wishes to be understood, and not as the case itself points out, with respect to his conduct in the Savoy affair, and more particularly as it bears upon the neutrality of Switzerland. He is about to address a memorandum to the Powers who signed the final act of Vienna, in order to show that if there ever was an intention to menace Switzerland, the treaties of 1815 would not stand in the way, since the military road from France to Germany, through Switzerland, no longer exists,—so that Switzerland, he would persuade them, needs, in fact, no such guarantees ,of neutrality now. The Times devoted another leading article, yes terday, to a criticism of the Ministerial Reform Bill. We have heard a great deal of its simpli city ; and " no one can deny," it is observed, " to the Reform Bill of Lord John Russell the posses sion of the attribute of simplicity, though some doubt may arise how far that simplicity consti tutes one of the leading merits of the measure." And then it is shown how such a quality, in such a case as that of our representative system, can never be a leading merit in a bill of that kind, if any merit at all. But what is chiefly and most forcibly pointed out, and, by implication at least, condemned, is its depriving the middle class of that political power Which they have exercised with results so eminently beneficial to the country ; and it is significantly asked, " Will it not be wise, before we establish a great gulf between the aristocracy and the working classes by the virtual elimination of that middle class which is at present interposed so as to break the shock between them,—would it not be wise to consider Whether something cannot be done to bridge over this gulf,—something which, if we may use the expression, may break the fall of the franchise, —something which may save this ancient and established monarchy from the logical appli, cation of the doctrine .of the supremacy of a. mere numerical majority, something which, while tolerant of, new elements, may prevent the total extinction of the old ones ?" - Later advices from Calcutta than those brought by the mail, a few .days since, represent Mr. Wil son's financial measures as being still' the chief topic of interest. Under the new currency system, it appears, the whole of India is to be divided into currency circles ; and in each circle there will be a Commissioner, charged with the duty of receiving money and issuing notes for his circle. :The amount of silver now in circulation is estimated to amount to -£2,000,000 ; and of this it is anti cipated that two-thirds will be released by the proposed paper currency—so that there is expected to be a general cheapening of silver, followed by a general rise in prices, till a reduction of specie, which, for the first time in history, will begin to be exported to Europe from India, checks that operation, and gradually brings things round again. "Truth," says an old proverb, " is to be taught by an enemy." It is fair to derive instruction even from an adversary. And the truth, the instruction, that was taught by the Radical Reform meeting at Manchester the other night, ought to have its effect, not only in the Con servative ranks, but even with such of the Liberals as do not wish to see the British monarchy transformed into a democratic re public. It was not, as it would be seen by the report we gave yesterday of the proceedings re ferred to, that merely an individual Radical or two present made use of expressions which conveyed that truth, and that they were themselves alone responsible for it. Mr. John Bright. himself uttered quite sufficient to show how he regards our Ministerial Reform Bill as but a means to an end, and this end his own republican transforma tion of our monarchical institutions—his yearned for transference of political power from the hands of the wealthy, the intelligent, the reputable, and the respectable of the people, to those of the populace who have no such claims or qualifica tions for the prior possession, least of the uncontrolled exercise of that power. But the significant truth, the important instruction, to which we now more particularly allude, was that - which was conveyed in a resolution unanimously adopted by the meeting at large, and which declared,—" That this meeting of the Lancashire Reformers' Union is of, opinion that no- measure of Parliamentary Reform will be satisfactory W the country less than that which will confer the franchiseon every male person in boroughs rated or liable terjae rated,..to the poor-.'Which will more equally distribute tile memlfeKs it ,proportion to population :and property, arid.wili, give to the ,voter t4e protection of the ;" but " That bill, now before the.Hotiseg Commons be abiipted as :an . instalutent Of the long-denied rikhts'of the people." Only , 'an instalment, yet one thaewill advance theiraequisition, in due time, of all the rest—householci suffrage, a demo cratic distribution of members, and the ballot ; all, in short, that is wanted to secure the ascendancy of the democracy of the country— to swamp the property, the intelligence, and the respectability of the nation by an -itittridatlon from the lowest, the most turbulent, and altogether the most dangerous classes of the people. This, we say, is the lesson. Not that we are taught it now for, the first time—very far from it. But it was, on this occasion, cenveyed under _circumstances of more than ordinary importance, and had a significance thereby imparted to 'it which ought to have the effect of impressing it all the more deeply on the constitutional mind of the country. When Mr. John Bright, at the Radical meeting at Manchester the day before yesterday, auda ciously declared that "all the honest and good people of England were for confidence and peace with France,"—that " there might be, and he believed there was, a section of the English oligarchy and many connected with the military service's who wished a different policy and a different result,"—his real meaning must be ascertained by connecting those expres sions with his peace-at-any-price principles, which he had just been exhibiting in a denunciation of our naval and military arma ments—of the necessary expenditure for _ the maintenance of our national defences—and of the position we thereby took up as a proud and independent kingdom. What he wants is, to place Manchester—its politics and its trade—in the ascendant in the realm of England,—to make the democracy our sovereign lord, and Mammon himself the god of our id.olatary. " Perish the British Monarchy, perish our so-called glorious Constitution," he naturally proclaims, " if only trade's proud empire can be indefinitely ex tended, and Manchester made the great focus of all our national principles, and all our political power." To this end it is that he is ready to succumb to a Bonaparte, and to let England be a province of France, so . that only Manchester may be its capital city ! The power of France —or, rather, of its Imperial ruler—over the destiny of Italy, is beginning to be dreaded, just in proportion as its reality is beginning to be seen. This new Italian kingdom, in fact, is already in the hands of France. The Sardinian Premier would prevent its continuing so, if he could ; but, as one writing on, the spot only too truly says, " Cavour's policy finds no support beyond the Alps, except in England—a Power that shrinks from active interference in continental matters," adding, that " were anything like political wisdom pre siding over the councils of the European. Powers, it might perhaps not be impossible to induce, if not Cavour, at least some other Sardinian states man, to borrow a leaf out of the book of old Savoy history, and bring this kingdom to join"the array of a European coalition against France." Instead of this, however, the policy of Lord Palmerston's Cabinet is rather to set the other Great Powers of Europe against us, and render any such "Euro pean coalition" impossible. Yet such an array must be brought to bear, sooner or later, against the ambitious and aggressive spirit of the present autocratic head of the French empire, if Europe is to be spared the curse of future wars and devastations. THE press in France is a very different thing indeed from the press in England. -In our case there is 'that " liberty of the press" which is thought by freemen to be " like the air we breathe, if we have it not we die." In theirs, it is not a " liberty of the press" at all, but only a slavery of it,—a press enslaved and shackled by the powers that be, and not merely prohibited from saying any thing, however just or true, or however conducive to the public interests, that may be disagreeable or inconvenient to those arbitrary power* but ever and anon obliged to say what is unjust and untrue, for the promotion of their own particular advantage, or for the furtherance of-their own peculiar devices. Here, in England, the press can pursue its course wholly independent off - All Government influences,—except, of course, when it happens to be, of its own free will and accord, in the interest of the political party to which the Government belongs. In such a case, the press will serve the Government—will be its organ and its advocate—will even do its bidding, provided it be right to do it ; but not , upon compul sion—pot as the fettered slave, but only as the free and unshackled defender of its policy and supporter of its cause. The press with us, therefore, stands upon its own merits. No portion of it is in the hands of the - Govern ment, to be employed by it to serve its own sinis ter ends, in its own unscrupulous way, at its own arbitrary dictation, and under its own tyrannical control. But not so in France. Under the Napo leonic regime, it is just the very reverse of this. The Imperial Government would fain persuale us, indeed, now and then, that there is a liberty of the press,—but it is a -very odd, one-sided sort of liberty ; it is just an illustration, in fact, of-that partiality to ourselves which is seen in such a variety of instances in the world—in morals as well as in politics. It is the remark of Dr. JOHN SON, that " the liberty of the press is a blessing, when we are inclined to write against others, and a calamity when we find ourselves overborne by the multitude of our assailants : as the power of the Crown is always thought too great-by those who suffer through its influence, and too little by those. in whose favour it is exerted." This is very much the fact of the matter with Lotus NAPO LEON' and.ltis "liberty of the press." And when, therefore, the Napoleonic liberty was 'charac teristieally , exemplified the other day by two of the Paris papers- 7 -all of which, be it remem bered; exist only by.lmperial sufferance, to speak only to gratit , the Imperial will=-when" fl y uttered audacious accusations against England, of having fomented the recent insurrection in Spain —" the only reason," as was observed by one of our metropolitan contemporaries, " why we took any notice of accusations condemned by their intrinsic absurdity was that the Patrie and the Pays are known to express the opinions Of the French Government." Just so. It is thus that importance occasionally attaches to the rankest and the most violent absurdities. -But, as our contemporary eontinues, " a few days elapsed, and we honestly confess to a considerable amount of surprise at learning that these two journals had been compelled by the Government to insert a few words of undeniable :retractation. It was, indeed, most fitting that the Minister who had not refused his sanction to a gross calumny against a friendly ally should be made the instrument of his own discomfiture." All this comes, then, of the public press of a country being under the despotic sway of an absolute and arbitrary Government, which thereby makes itself responsible for whatever mischief the press may do, and must therefore be under the continual necessity of contradicting its own mis-statements. and refuting its own calumnies. It was thus fitting, however reproach ful it might seem, to remind the French Empef_ or and his counsellors, " that if in this free country there are newspapers which transgress the bounds of courtesy, and indulge in language only too deserving of censure, no blame can attach to the Government,"—and that "A is only w h en the control of the Home press is under the direct con becomes an Minister - that a false accusation re tractittion or an official crime, dema ndin g a apology." Now if the Anglo - Fr ench alliance is to be maintained in its inte g rity, such a practice as this with the public press of the Empire must be given.up. It is-a practice—and involves a princi ple—that is pregnant with mischief, and one that is only too truly described when it is said of it, that " it is certain that professions of desire to be at peace and to' restore confidence to Europe will weigh but lightly in the balance against it." But the fact is—and it is ono full of alarm for the peace of Europe—that the French Emperor thinks he may do whatever he likes in the pursu ance of his own peculiar and interested purposes. He is not to be restrained by any ordinary, how ever necessary, rules of action. He has no scruples about inconsistencies, however impudent or outrageous—no concern about violations of laws, or vows, or treaties. Something, therefore, must be done to check such a course as this, fraught as it is with danger to the public peace of the European nations. And, as another of our able contemporaries put the case the other day, "What is now to be done is nothing injurious to the independence, nothing offensive to the honour of France, nothing but what may be avowed in the face of day, and published, if the French Government pleases, in the 3lcniteur. We are going to provide that France, as well as the other nations, shall be under, and not above, the law. A swarm of sophists have laboured, in prose and verse, to indoctrinate her with the belief that for her there is no law. They have taught her that all her lusts are holy, that wrong is no wrong when it tends to her aggrandisement, that injus tice and rapine committed by her are civilisa tion,' and that she alone, of all the nations, is not punishable for her crimes. An effort is about to be made to save the rights and happiness of Europe from the consequences of her delusion." By whom such an effort is to be made deponent saith not. We suppose by the Great Powers in Congress assembled. In such a movement, England ought by right to take the lead. But while England's conduct in foreign affairs is directed by such a politician as Lord JOHN RUSSELL, aided and abetted by Mr. COBDEN, and counselled and 'controlled by Mr. BRIGHT, it is not to be expected that, if she now could, she now would, do anything of the kind. But, at all hazards, it must be seen to, that Louis NAPOLEON is carefully watched. And there is not one of the Powers of Europe but may 'find an opportunity to detect and to discomfit him, if only there be a united determination to resist the common enemy, and show to him, and to the World, in the emphatic words of one of the quaintest of our' old dramatic poets, — "Though with rhetoric flourishes, You strive to gild a rotten cause, the touch' Of reason, fortified by truth, delivered From an unlettered tongue shall show it dust, And so to be contemned." .1 ~' . LATEST NEWS. IBY BRITISH AND IRISH 'MAGNETIC TEI,EGRAPII.I FRANCE. Imperial decrees have been issued for carrying out various suggestions contained in a report of the Minister of Interior to the Emperor, relative to the establishment of ad valorem duties on articles of British growth and manufacture. The Superior Council of commerce, agriculture, and manufac ture, is to ascertain the average selling price of the English articles for the six months preceding the date of the treaty. This information will enable the council to fix the limit, the maximum being 30 per cent. The council will next have to collect all the information necessary to deter mine the degree of protection required for each branch of French industry, and to fix the speci fied duties which are to be levied on the importa tion of each English article. The Council will collect information both in France and England, and have power to examine merchants and manu facturers of the two countries. There are reports in Paris that M. de Persigny is to be Minister for Foreign. Affairs, and that he will be replaced as ambassador at London by M. Thoaveuel.

It is stated that the Cabinet of the Tuileries is about to address a memorandum to the Powers who signed the final act of Vienna. The aim of this memorandum is said to be to establish by strategical considerations the unimpeachable proof that, if France ever had an intention of menacing the neutrality of Switzerland, she could do so notwithstanding all the guarantees stipulated in the treaties of 1815; since the military road, leading from France to Germany, through Switzerland, now no longer exists, neither in the territory of Faucigny, nor of Chablais, but at another point not included in the neutralised districts. The Cabinet of the Tuileries hopes by that to show that the annexa tion of Savoy to ,France does not virtually deprive Switzerland of her strategical positions, neither does it involve any of the dangers put forward beforehand by the Federal Council of Berne. ITALY. The Pope's Bull has been published in a semi official journal of Turin. It is preceded by a few lines, stating that publicity is the sole chastise ment for such a lucubration. ROME, April 12.

REFUSAL OF A CARDINAL'S HAT. The Gazette d e ..France says, the nishop of Orleans has refused the Cardinal's hat offered him by the Pope, on the ground that if he were to accept it his sincere devotion to the cause of the temporal power would certainly be attributed in France to interested motives. THE BELGIUM ,PETAL CODE. The Belgian Chamber of Deputies on revising the Penal Code, has decided against the principle of the French Code, which punishes the workman, who enters into coalitions, and has adopted the English principle, which admits of the perfect right of both masters and men to change the exist= r ing codditions of labour, provided that violence and intimidation are avoided.

A Turin letter states that at a. meeting of Neapolitan refugees it was resolved, by a majority of eighty against four, that the annexation of the kingdom of Naples to the Constitutional Govern-, ment of Victor Emmanuel was a proposition deserving of support.
