The account, as we anticipated, proves a heavy
" bull " one, but the realisations noticed by us at the
commencement of last week and during the last
few days, have eased the settling to some extent.
The depression thus created seems to have been only
temporary, and the appearance of the market is now
favourable. Money was tight in the French share
market, ruling at 4 to 8 per. cent, per annum, but
prices of these shares are rising again. The panic ex-
perienced on the Paris Bourse on Monday, and
which reacted here yesterday, does not appear to
have discouraged the dealers.
The abundance of money% still operating strongly
lon the general joint stock share market, in which the
general tendency throughout the week has been in
favour of higher prices.
The business in bank shares has been rather lee
extensive than usual, owing to holders being disin-
clined to change their investment. The same cir-
cumstance has the effect of strengthening prices;
and thus we find that most of the descriptions dealt
in have realised enhanced terms, including Austra-
lian, British North American Oriental, and Lon-
don and Westminster. The dealings in the shares
of the banks connected with oar Australian colonies
have almost ceased, as holders refuse to sell at pre-
Bent quotations, in view of the enlarged and profit-
able field there thrown open for banking enterprise.
The sales recorded during the week include :
—Australasia (401. paid), 42 ; British North Ame-
rican (601. paid), 63 • London Joint Stock (101.
paid), 181, 2„, 4 ; London and Westminster (201.

The rise in Dock stocks continues. Raid and West

and London stock at 126. Commercial is worth

Mester et Insiand, is animated by a more decided I
spirit. An excellent meeting was held in that town
on Thursday last for the purpose of founding an
" Athenians.* The Earl of BELFAST, who has taken
a lead in this excellent movement, spoke with force
and jadgment; hibUpening address from the chair,
on the insimetanse dirree Local Libraries. lie paned
in review the diglbsont collections of books in Belfast
which might be brought together to form the nucleus
d a Free Local Library ; and he recommended an ap-
plication to the Commis loners for the 3001. subscribed
in Belfast to the Exhibition Guarantee Fund-
A resolution to make such an application was subac.
quentl adopted by the meeting on the motion of
Mr. Mac ADAM, who mentioned that he had con-
versed with the Royal Commissioners on the subjectt
that there was a difference of opinion among them ;
and that he thought it possible the 3001. might be
secured.
We are disposed to attribute great weight to this
very satisfactory demonstration at Belfast. We
learn from Mr. MAC ADAM that there is at least a
minority among the Commissioners willing to com-
ply with the proposal to re-distribute the subscrip-
tions to the Guarantee Fund, with a view to promote
thecetablishment of Local Free Librariesand museums.
The remarks made on the subject by tho Earl of
BELFAST evince just and comprehensive views of the
importance of the subject. The exertions he
has made show that his heart is in the cause, and
that his sentiments are participated in by the Bishop
of DowN, the Rev. Mr. MONTGOMERY, the Rev. I'.
S. BERRY, President of Queen's College, Belfast—in
short, by a large number of the most influential and
intelligent persons in the district, many of them en-
, tortaining widely different opinions in other matters,
—is evident from their attending the meeting and
taking part in its proceedings. The pressure of such
an association can scarcely fail to have an effect upon
the Royal Commiesioners, more especially as it ap-
pears that some of their members are predisposed to
yield. We expect much good from the meeting at
Belfast, the more that it is likely to rouse the 'multi-
, Lion and encourage the co-operation of other places
similarly circumstanced.

lONIAN ISLANDS.

A letter written by an English visitor to Corfu,
says: 0 We are all speculating on Louis Napokon's
movements and the doings of the new English min-
istry, hut principally with reference to the war ques-
tion, and as to any change in the governor of these
islands, who is quite as tyrannical in his way, though
a whig, as Louis Napoleon. As far as I con judge
the people will not stand it much longer, and you
will hear more of his doings in England &fora
long."

The Prussian Minister of trade has succeeded in

forcing the directors of the Berlin-Hamburg Rail-
road to Image night-trains, which commenced yes-
terday, so that letters which arrive late in the even-
ing at Berlin by posts from the east and south, ;may
be delivered early the next morning in Hamburg.
The Bing of Prank is still endeavouring to bring
about an arrangement between the King of Den-
mark and the Duke of Augustenburg. As the
matter has been some time in hand, his Danish Ma-
jesty has fixed a time within which the Duke must
accept the offered indemnity, or abide by the exclu-
sion pronounced against him.
AUSTRIA.
Letters from Vienna state that the leadership of
the ministry assigned to Baron Bach by the Em-
pmt.'s note of the 9th inst. was only a precedence
accorded to him as the oldest member of the cabinet,
and has ceased with the appointment of Count Buol
to the Foreign-office, and the ministry of the imperial
lows. The latter will preside in the ministerial
esedirenees, and there will be no minister president
now that the power of the monarch. has ceased to
be limited by a constitution.
Baron Werner, says the Joursal de Ihinkfort,haa
addressed a circular despatch to all the Austrian
legations, explaining the renewed intimacy of the
British and Austrian cabinets.

AMERICA.

Nicaragua letters report tn.lll;4h of Mr. Foster, the
British Consul at Healers. The Nicaragua government,
fur some reason, attempted to seize his property, but were
resisted by Mr. Manning, Mr. Footer's partner, who was
aided by the commander of the French corvette Brilliant,
then in port. Mr. Bowen was to succeed Mr. Foster as
British Consul.

Advice' from Ecuador report that a Acct, composed of
two barks and four smaller vessels, were seen lying off
Tumbes. It was supposed this was Flores' squadron with
which ho intended to attack that town, and was preparing
for an engagement. The government had despatched a
war steamer against Flores' fleet. Flores had bought the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Chili, and had
engaged from 2,000 to 2,500 men, principally Oermsns and
Irish. The return of her Majesty's ship Virago to %ape-
raiso,with the revolutionists of Magellan Straits, had created
much excitement.

HANOVER.

The Hanoverian government has just addressed a
circular despatch to its diploma& *plata, in which
the import of the recent mielsterial changes is dis-

BELGIUM.
The Chambers were prorogued on the 17th by
proclamation.

The indirect taxes of Belgium, for the first 3 months
of the year, have amounted to 19,007,454 fr. ; in the
corresponding period of last year they were

SPAIN.

On the 14th, the royal family continued at Aran-
jues. It was reported in tho political circles that
the government intends to reform the electoral law,
'Lai to effect modifications in the constitution. The
public funds have undergone a notable rise, owing
chiefly, it is said, to the advance which has taken
place in Spanish Mock in foreign markets.

OUR GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.

TO THE EDITOR OP THZ EXPRESS.

Srrt,—Our Indian system is now called a mild
despotism ; it might be more correctly described to
bo a despotism supporting one vast monopoly.
If the English parliament be earnest in their wish
for the regeneration of India, let them extend to this
vast tract of country—and to its millions of impo-
verished peoplo—tho blessings of a permanent limi-
tation to the ever-increasing demands of an arbitrary
government.
Mr. Campbell laments that we possess little more
than half the revenues of India. But he forgets that
every chieftain pays directly a tribute or indirectly
a subsidy, "for our protection." It lately was
clearly shown why, the Nizam had fallen into arrears ;
how our always increasing demands of troops, con-
tingents, and subsidies, have pressed heavily on the
revenues of the country. Thus it is with every
prince. They all dread and mistrust, and one by
one they yield; become our pensioners for life, or
for a generation or two, and their descendants will
be found tillers of the earth. Within 20 years how
many states have lapsed—how many natives, once
rich and powerful, are now ruined beggars, or mere
pensioners on our bounty.
And religious endowments are not respected. I
could mention instances where religious grants have
been resumed; and when this has been acknowledged
by the government, it has been added—" it would
be inexpedient now to reverse the decision."
Therising civilian whopraises the Indian government
will, without doubt, win his reward. For him there is
future promotion ; but to truth-speaking men, like the
late Captain Cunningham, the gifted son of a gifted
father, there was official disgrace, an humbled spirit,
and an early grave. But there is a Ood who judges
nations as well as individuals. We have spread poverty
anddistress amongst one hundred millions, and yet we
are not rich : the misery of the people affects the
welfare of the government. We are in debt. Again
are we embarked in war—perhaps a long, and tedi-
ous, and costly war. A million or two will again
be added to our debt, and again for years must
• internal improvements be postponed.
Again and again have we been assured that each
accession of territory does not involve us in debt,
any more than the landlord of Ireland borrowing
money on his title deeds, and laying it out on the
improvement of his estate can be said to be involved.
• This is a fallacy. Now territories when conquered
require new troops, new advanced-poets, and inevit-
ably bring with them new political disquietudes,and
new sources of expenditure.
Wo have risked an extension of territory—
mountainous, rugged, and sterile—in the far north-
west. Wo are risking the acquisition of another
kingdom in unhealthy Burmah. ANCILO4NDIAN.

EGYPT.

According to a letter of the 3rd from Cairo,
in the Trieste Zeitting, the expected arrival of
Fund Effendi had given rise to great appre-
hensions. Nine of the gates of Cairo had been
closed, and the guards at the ethos doubled. Abbas
I'acha had had his private treasures removed
to the Palace Abbasie. The garrison of Alexandria
had been reinforced, and 200 kawosses added to the
police force. Different measure:: had been taken to
prevent any sudden blow. The English fleet was
crsisiug off Mahon.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—YEsTERDAT.
Barons Ys. COWWWWIO.I4 LAW.

IN Till MATTIIII Or HENRY FRANCIS WOLLASTON.

This insolsent, a merchant. who had traded u " Wollas-
ton and Co. at the Cape of Good Hope and at Great St.
Helens. London, applied to MI di.eliiirged.
Mr. Nichols and Mr. Bagley opposed on the part of
Memn. Frith, Sands, and Co., merchants, Austinfriars
Mr. Cooke supported.
The cue occupied the court from the commencement of
the sitting until put five o'clock. The insolvent'owed in the
aggregate upwards of 20,000f.,and Messrs Frith had obtained
a judgment against him for about 7,0001. The debts owing
to the insolvent in the schedule were 3,581/1., in addition to
which proptrty at the Cape had been given up and paid a
dividend, the opposing creditors receiving 1111 u their
share. It sppcared that in December, 1819, the insolvent
applied to the Insolvent Court at the Cape,: and
I was einunined. In March following he suddenly left the
colony. He came to England, and not having a certia-
este, he was sued on a judgment rerouted in the Supreme
Court at Cape Town, and was now in custody at the suit of
Marrs. Frith. An attempt was made to make him a bank-
rupt in this country, but the adjudication had been an-
nulled.

Mr. Rands, oce of the firm of Frith, Santis, and Com-
pany, who had been to the Capo of Good Hope, at about
the time of the in.olvency proceedings in that colony, was
examined in this court, and his examination occupied some
boars.

Mr. Commissioner Law was engaged until the rising of
the court in the investigation, and the further hearing was
adjourned to Tuesday. the 27th inst.

Saunders's News Letter states that Mr. Amgen
has made an offer to the committee of the Royal
I Dublin Society to expend 10,0001., or if necessary
20,0001., in the erection of a building in connexion
with or upon their grounds, for the purposes of •
grand National Exhibition, the profits incidental to
the admission of the public to bo derived by him,
land the articles and products exhibited to comprise
those of native growth, cultivation, and workman-
ship, and, in addition to these, such foreign products
' as may be made available and productive in Ireland.
If thig project be carried out, we shall huve another
grand exhibition in Ireland.
The Galway Vindicator states that several English
and Scotch capitalists are at present vipiting the west
of Ireland in search of profitable investment for their
money. The purchasers of some of the recently sold
estates in and around Galway are beginning to pay
visits to their newly acquired property. A ship now at
the Galway quays is taking on board several large
blocks of tine black marble for the London market;
and among the new exports from that locality are larr
quantities of brushes, manufactured at Mr. Ronan
Brownville factory, and which arc now shipped or
London.

The following gratifying account of the state of
the crops and appearance of the country is given by
the Northern Whig:
During the last ten days I have made several short trips
into the Counties of Down and Antrim. The improve•
ment in the growing crops for the preceding two weeks
has been very great. The early sown oats and potatoes
both look extremely healthy and well—l never saw them
look better at this season of the year. The later sown
are progressing very f,vourably, but don't Strike the
traveller so forcibly. The districts I was in were not
famous for flax, but I observed a few very good patches,
and two fields that were poor enough partly missed, per-
haps from bad seed. The beans in the Lamle district
looked very healthy and wall. The late rains have done
wonders for the grass—both graving helds and upland
meadows—consequently there is a geed prospect of plenty
of hay this season. What little wheat thero is looks ex•
tremely well ; it could do with dry weather from this to
harve4 ; the breadth of land under it is every yeas
getting more circumscribed.—The gardens are loaded with
email fruit, and all nature iu the Vegetable kingdozo seems
to be teeming with young life. The country never Looked
more beautiful than it does just now.

TUSCANY.

The marble slabs bearing the names of the Tuscans
who fell in 1848 fighting against the Austrians in
Lombardy, and which the government has removed
I from the church of the Holy Cross, have been
claimed by the municipality of Florence. The coun-
cil remind the government that the slabs were erected
at the expense, not of the state, but of the citizens,
and remain their property. The tablets, if obtained,
will be placed in the chapel of the civic council.

AUSTRIAN FINANCES.

VIENNA, iCNI 8.

A semi-official article in the Wiener Zeitung deve-
lopes the main points of the financial scheme upon
which the government is at present engaged. We
are told in it that voluntary loans are a suitable
means towards the improvement of financial affairs.
Silver money will in future be coined with only 20
per cent. of alloy. By the means in contemplation
it is hoped that the receipts of the present year will
show an increase of 20 millions over those of 1851.

been accepted. The public sales of Sugar have gone off
rather heavily ; Benues bas declined fully 6d. per cwt., but
prices of other descriptions hove been supported ; for foreign,
however, the demand still continues good. Of Coffee the
sales have not been important, but plantation Ceylon has
declined about 6d. to Is. per cwt. Rice hu sold steadily at
fully former prices. The Tea market has been quite void
of animation, and rather lower prices have been accepted
for common Congous. •

WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY.

The accounts from the German Wool fairs agree in stating
the advance upon the prices of 1861 at from 3d. to 4d. per
lb. Considerable purchases have been made by the English
buyers, and for English account. The Wool market here
'is very firm, and large sales have been made this week.

ingly low.

It would be hey to build too confidently on inch
considnations I bet after every allowance has been
mole. they do appear to warrant some faint revival
of hops for France. Paris has long been the centre
of continental European thought ; the departments
of Pranosbavewitldn thelast thirty years made great
=habits of independent judgment and active
exertion. It is not to be imagined that so
intelligent a people as the French can ultimately
abdicate all power to think or sot for themselves
In thin country the framework of a constitution
which lass survived nearly two centuries,
keeps men, even when their notions are vague
and confused, within certain limits ; in France
time has not yet been allowed for suck institutions
to grow up. Hence wider deviations from the lines
of judicious political action, which do not, however,
imply the utter want of intelligence and self-respect
which alone can render the permanence of free legal
government impossible.
The fate of rational liberty in France is at this
moment the most 'miaow' subject of conjecture'
throughout the civilised world. If a nation so
ligent, endowed with so many generous and amiable
qualitimis to be declared by its own act incapable of
regulated freedom and pacific self.vvernment, what
hope is there for the future of mankind? •

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVININO.
DEATH OF THE GRAND DUKE OF BADEN.
Intelligence reached Paris yesterday of the death
of the Grand Duke of Baden, which took place on
Saturday night.
General Dufour, extraordinary. envoy of the Swiss
government, has arrived to-day in Paris, to confer
with the President of the French Republic on the
questions debated between France and Switzerland.
The Moniteur contains today a fresh shower of
largesses to the army. This is a decree ordaining
that the year 1851 shall count as a year of campaign
to those troops who were called upon in
any part of the French territory to suppress
the resistance offered to the usurpation of December
2. An enormous list of companies and battalions
follows, which must suggest to the minds of
the bourgeoisie, after the threats and abuse
bestowed upon them by the ministerial
papers, a fearful sum of force professedly
hostile to their interests, and indulged with continual
gratifications at their expense. It is no wonder that
rn the face of such immense profusion rumours of a
proximate inevitable loan should be renewed, while
for the first time since the conversion, the New Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. are below par.
A second decree decides that, in the course of the
month of May, the officers of all arms, and the func-
tionaries of the war department, are to take the oath
of fidelity to the President.
The Paris correspondence of the Independence
Belye contains the following statement :
Some days ego the English ministry was. informed that
Koemith was on the point of quitting the United States to
return to England. Comprehending how much alarm the
presence of the great Hungarian &pinto: would occasion to
the Austrian government, tho British cabinet hastened
to give, props mote, to h. de Beal Schauenstein fresh
pacific assurances, and communicated to him the energetic
miasures it intended to take, remaining, however, within
the limits of strict legality, in case Kossuth sought to re-
new his revolutionary plot* upon the Continent.
At the Bourse the Four-and-Half per Cents. fell
80c, and closed at 9910; the Threes fell 110,
closing at 69.70. This serious fall, following a sucoes-
, sion of falling markets, is attributed to the belief of the
imminence of a loon. Railways fell considerably :
Orleans, 45; Rouen, 20; Central and Bordeaux, 15
• each; Lyons, 13.75 Strasbourg, 12.50; Northern,
• 10 ; Marseilles, 7.50; Tours and Nantes, 6.25; Havre
and Dieppe, 3 each.

ROMAN STATES.

Our correspondent at Rome, says the Cunstitution-
nel, under date April 20, announces the arrival of Mar-
quis Spinola,charged by the Piedmontese government
with fresh
.propositions for the re-establishment of the
previous friendly relations between the Holy See and
the Sardinian states. The basis of this arrangement
will, it is said, be: I. The immediate recall of the
Archbishop of Turin ; 2. The abandonment of any
bill having for object to make marriage a civil act;
and, 3. The presentation of a rigorous measure for
the repression of the abuses of the periodical press
on subjects of religion and publie morality.

FINE ARTS.
°AMERY OP ILLUSTRATION.
The new Diorama of the Wellington Campaigns,
which was opened to the public yesterday, is another of
those spectacles of mingled semi. and Pyloric' effects with
which all who have visited—sad wise has am ?—the item"
paintings of Messes. Grieve end Telbin, at the Oilleri of
Illustration, must be well aequaiated. The interest of the
subject Ping paramount, and the artists sufficiently gifted
to seize and develop its most salient and sharactcriatic
traits, success was certain.
The scenic and pictorial appliances aloes evince won-
derful skill and command of resources, such se in
themselves form a unique spectacle. The various sen-
sations produced by torchlight, moonshine, watchfires,
and rippling surfaces, are summed up with such
fidelity as to verge on realities. One almost fancies
oneself present at the discovery of Tippoo Saib's
body, or visiting the prostrate form of Crawford in the
cathedral of Ciudad Rodrigo: we assist, as it were, both in
guerilla skirmishes on the mountain side and at pitched
battles in the plaits. The horses of Mr. Alfred Cor-
haul& the figures of Mr. Abooloss, the storms and sunshine
of Messrs. Urieve and Tebbin, are made to harmonise like
the scattered actions of the hawse they depict. We cannot
refrain, however, from singling out two or three scenes for
particular mention—first, the cathedral of Ciudad Rodrigo
and • that of Burgos.—as capital specimens of effective
decoration.

Tbr,ushout the duke may be distinguished, not posture.
making and earaeolling as pictorial chieftains are prone to
do, but either carefully scrutinising the forthcoming field of
victory, or himself charging or performing some act of
bounty. In the closing scenes, which have been confided
to Mr. George Denson and Boas, the glories of Waterloo
have been rendered according to what may be designated
rather as a " Siborne aspect," than in a pictorial point
of view: the result is satisfactory. Mr. Stocqueler's ex-
planatory comments are • pleasing accompaniment to this
panoramic survey.
