RIC-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
Letters at hand, this morning, from all Isarta of the
country, state that the crops generally have derived great
benefit from the prevailing floc rains. Some of the wheat
growers anticipate it partial commencement of harvest work
la the gist week in July.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were very
moderate. For good and fine samples the demand ruled
steady at full quotations, but all other kinds moved off
heavily, and late rats were barely supported.
We were well supplied with most kinds of foreign
wheat. The demarid was in a sluggish state. In
.prwes,
however, no quotable change took place compared with
Monday last.
Although the show of barley was rather extensive, the
sale for that description of produce was tolerably arm, at full

sothing comparable to the famous Misertre scene in that

IMPROVED DWELLINGS FOR THE INDUSTRIAL

CLASSES.

On Saturday a meeting of merchants, bankers,
and others desirous of onoperatieg with the view to im-
prove the domestic aceoninxidetioe of the working dares of
London, was held at the Mativion-bocce, Lord STAMM pre-
siding. It is proposed to form an associative of 20 or 30
gentlemen, protected by the Limited Liability Ant, and
having a capital of 25,000 t. to 50,0004, to be invested in
the erection of a seriesof blocks of improved dwellings. There
were present, among others, the Hon. Fred. Byeg, Alder-

Lord *am= said they all knew there was in Loodoe
sad especially ia tbe centre and eastern part of it, a peal
want of decent and respectable house accommodation, not
only for the labouring tisanes fitly so called, but also for the
whole body of mechanics. There was in truth no town in
England where that went was so much felt as in the metro-
polis, and it was not at all a new matter of complaint. Ha
well remembered a meeting in the City about nine years
ago. at which Mr. Baring was chairman, and at which the
subject wee discussed and various remedies suggested. Since
that time different societies had been set on foot with the
intention of supplying the deficiency. He would not may
they had been failures, because they bad kept public
attention alive to the subject, and in that respect
had dune much good, besides providing • con.,,

sad as what ought to be remunerative associations, if they
had not failed eotirely,there had been at best a very partial
and imperfect success. They were met there, then, Unmake
one more trial to overcome the difficulty. They knew that
estimates were often deceptive and prophecies dangerous,
but they started from • sounder foundation, they thought,
than any previous association of the kind. They profited by
the experienoe which others bad at their own cost obtained
for them, and they would be able to avoid errors of detail ;
and in the main, lie thought, they would differ from their
predecessors chiefly in this—that they would look rather to
the accommodatim of families than of single men, and not

AMERICA AND RUSSIA.

The Europe of Frankfort publishes the official
text of the American despatch announced by the
Jouruut of St. Petersburg, and an analysis of
Prince Gortchakoff's reply to the cabinet of
Washington. The Russian minister, iu order to
be able to give his reply as early as possible, has
addressed it not to the Russian minister at Wash-
ington but to Mr. Clay, minister of the United
States at St. Petersburg. Prince Gortcbakoff ex-
presses the Czar's sentiments of affection and grati-
tude at the attitude of the Federal government
under the grave circumstances in which Russia is
placed. One paragraph of this document is de-
voted to the rebellion.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Jora.3o.

A decree of the Emperor bee 1;e1; published
ordering that the logic class at the Lyceum shall
resume its forgiver name of class of philosophy.
. .

The decree abolishing the restriction hitherto
existing in the baking trade has been officially
published.
The Constitutimute/ of this morning contains an
article upon the Polish question, signed by M.
Limarque, replying to articles of the Post and
Times. The writer still hopes that the teak of
diplomacy with regard to Poland will be con-
ducted to a fortunate termination, but remarks
that it is deprived of its best chances of success if
announcements are made that no further interven-
tion is possible.
Replying to the Times, which had stated itself
unaware what would be the conduct of France, the
Condi/idioms/ says :
" The conditions of common action may be de-
termined in advance. France has only brought about
the action of Europe in the interest of Europe, in-
spired solely by the sentiment of justice and the
interest of European order. She has no reserved in-
tention, no ambitious calculations in which diplo-
macy is necessary. Upon the contrary, France
only desires that the immutable will of the Powers
shall to distinctly seen behind the efforts of diplo-
macy. An understanding between them once
assured, there would be no war. In every step,
every effort in favour of Poland, France has been
actuated solely by a desire to restore to itself an
unfortunate and heroic nationality, to cause what
every cabinet has acknowledged intolerable to owe
—the state of things unfortunately bequeathed to
us by the past, and which we do not wish to trans-
mit to the future. In order to attain the object in
view it is necessary to hold as far aloof from vio-
lence and insult as from weakness. The best policy
is sagacious firmness."

Lord BROUGHAM withdrew the Suitors Conciliation

NEW ZEALAND.

Lord LYTTELTOR presentedSPTtitioti from Taranaki,
Niro Zealand, os the subject of the distress brought upon
the by the native war ; and in calling the attention of the
loess to the subject. and to that of the military defence of
the colonies, the noble loot obescrod that it was difiktilt to
devisee remedy for the uoliappy state of affairs referred to in
the petition, and it would be idle to expect that parliament
should make a specific grant for that purpose. The eciontil
kgielature had voted a sum—he believed not less than
• 250,000/.—for the relief of the degrees that had arisen, but •
colony like New Zealand would necessarily experience great
difficulty in raising such an amorist, and it had been sup
gaited to him that the home government might assist the
seamy by guarantee or otherwise in raising the whole or a
portion of that amount.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE denied that the government.
Meditated abandoning the colonists in their difficulties, and
maid that none of his dispatches contained one word that
would beer that construction. He maintained, however,
that the war was begun with the cordial support of the
colociats themselves for their sole benefit, ►nd that in spits
of it the colony had made wonderful progress. Sir George
Grey, the governor, was pursuing at mice a wise, states-
manlike, resolute, and humane policy, and be was most
wasiause of its results.

Earl GREY was afraid that the policy of the goversment

of New Zealead, and although the ability of Sir George

To THZ Farms ARMY.

By the extraordinary express which arrived last night
from the capital of the republic, we have reoeived the latest
news relative to the heroic defenders of Puebla. The
Mexicans resident in this city, full of pride by reason of the
glorious conduct followed by our general., chiefs, and
officers, prisoners in Puebla, have resolved to publish this
interesting news, in order that it may be brought to the
knowledge of our brothers, and that the whole world may
Admire the greatness of our heroes. The news to which
we refer is the following :
" Between 10 'and 11 o'clock on the morning of the 18th
our general►, chiefs, and officers, who were all assembled In
the governmental palace of Puebla, bed a document commu-
nicated to them for their signature, the terms of which were
nothing more nor less than the following :

" EXPIDMONARY CORPS OF 11RXICO.

" General-in-Chief,—We, the undersigned officers of
the Army of the East, declare, upon our word of honour,
1. We will never again take any part in the politica of the
country and will be neutral in the present struggle. 2. We
will not quit the place assigned to us by the General-in-
Chief of the French army. 3. We will not oommunicate
with our families nor with any person without his previous
consent. _

" • Puebla, May 18,1863.'
" This document having been read by General Llave, and
the question being put to those present, the whole assembly
replied with one voice, ' Viva Mexico !" Death to
Napoleon !" Death to the traitor !'
"The citizen generals, chiefs, and officers moreover signed
the following reply Neither the laws of the country,
military honour, nor our private convictions allow of our
signing the declaration which has been prmeated to us.
We protest against it by dicing the present.
" ' Puebla, May 18, 1863.'
"In view of this honourable reply the French com-
mander ordered that the generals should be conducted,
in the quality of prisouers, to the Can de Inmate in Vie-
toria.street, the chiefs to the former convent of La Solcdad,
and the =battens to the Custom-house, all being guarded
and not allowed to quit their respective quarters."

MEXICO.

PARIS Joys 30.

The report of General Foray has been published,
dated 20th of May, relative to the brilliant combat
of the Bth of May, in which the army of General
Comonfort was completely dispersed. With re-
ference to the capture of Puebla General Forey de-
clares it incorrect that the Mexicans surrendered
for want of provisions and ammunition, but that
they were discouraged by the defeat of Comonfort
and the success of the attacks upon Fort Totime-
huaciui. General Foray further states that 2,000
to 3,000 of the prisoners have already joined the
French army. It bad been decided to send the
officers and the remaining prisoners to France.
The health of the army continued satisfactory.

The following proclamation was issued by the
Mexican inhabitants of Tampico, on receiving the
news of the fall of Puebla :

THE CIRCUITS.

Mr. HADFIELD wished to ask the Attoroey-Genersl
what progress wan makiog in the arraogement of new or
additional eircuite, and when a report would be made to
the house ; and whether any and what measures were takiug
to relieve the judges from the excessive toil now imposed
on them, by mesas of creating additional judges or other
wise ; and, if Dot, what MIMI prevented the correction of an
inconvenience to the public in the administration of justice.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL said there was no commis-
sion on the subject, sod therefore tbere could be no report.
It was not at present contemplated by the government to
make any addition to the number of the judges. But it was
hoped that such changes might be proposed as would have
the effect of relieving the moral pressure of judicial basi-
l:MlL and enable the present pukes without being unduly
taxed to administer justice in their respective circuits. Some
alteration in the circuits would be desirable. This could
not be done without the aid and interference of parliament,
and a bill for this purpose would be brought forward in the
present session, sod pressed tf there was a reasonable pro-
spect of its becoming law.

GREECE.

The Temps of to-day says :
The Dew King of Greece will not quit Copenhagen before
September 15 ; it is even said that his departure will be
postponed to the next spring. It is known that the young
sovereign will be accompanied by Count Spanneck. Con-
trary to what has been stated, the count proposes to pass
three years in Greece instead of only • few months.
George I. would in that case commence his reign like Otbo,
by a regency, although the name might not be heard. Be-
sides Count Spanneck, the King will be attended by Dr.
Rosen, councillor of state, known by • voyage round the
world, and as the author of a recent brochure on Greece.

THE RI:MOORED RECOoNITION OF THE SOUTH.—
The Sk!cle of yesterday says :—" From time to time the
slavery newspapers spread a report of the forthcoming recog-
nition of the South. One moment it is England which is to
set the example to the other powers, at another it is upon
France that this charming office devolves. Just now the
same newspapers announce that France and England are
about to declare simultaneously in the face of the world
that they consider it just and good to co-operate in the
foundation of a republic based upon slavery. And why this
recognition of the South at the very moment when there is no
longer any need of its assistance in the production
of cotton, the cultivation of which has by degrees
extended in every direction ? We can DO more believe now
than formerly in the news published by certain London and
Paris newspapers. Those newspapers maintain that to keep
aloof until one of the two fractions of
.the Union has bees
exterminated by the other would be treason mishit
humanity. The real treason would consist in allowing the
gradual extermination of the black race by the white ram
through the simony of slavery." The Indtpencianre Bdge
says th►t the Southerners who reside in Paris are so coo-
vinced of the speedy recognition of their new nationality
that they are already making preparations for a grand
"patriotic "file in celebration of the event.
The following curious incident has just taken
place at Turin :—ltaly, on the map, represents the form of
a boot, and the master shoemakers, under the pretext that
Victor Emmanuel hu made this national boot by putting
together the different pieces by which it is composed, have
asked permission to confer on him the presidency of their
society. The King has accepted the offer, and presented to
the mastereboemakers a silk flu of the three national
colours, embroidered in gold, and bearing the inscription, in
gilt letters, of " Dow di S. M. 11 Be d'ltalia ells Societe dei
maestri calzolai di Torino."
Among the recent improvements in the Bois de
Boulogne is a circular sparse for exercising horses- It is
1,200 metres in length by 300 it, breadth. At each ex-
tremity are placed earth books, surmounted by boom, for
the pupae of training horses to leap.

justly draw down the applause of the house. The perfect
silence, however, which reigned amotg her bearers when
the well•known physicist and the lady appeared in the bat
act conversiog upon ber strange malady, plainly showed
where she was expected to create the greatest effect. lior
was the expectation disappointed. The distressed and
wearied expression of Ler features—the dreamy and perfect
absorption of her fixed stare as she entered, lamp in band,
in this celebrated scene—the unearthly tone in which she
betrayed the floating rersen,braireee of her past crimes,
brought her performance to a climax with that familiar
illogical demonstration which insists to the performer
coming Lack from • death bed to receive a shower of wreaths
and bouquets before the scene is ended. Signor Persana's
reading of the character of Macbeth transformed the Scottish
hero into a trembling con-aid, these elaborate expressions
of abject terror in some of the scenes were too ludicrous to
be patiently witnessed by an English audience. Sign('
Glech's Banque, and Signor Cioti's Maccluff were respectable
impersonatious ; but gtuerally Madame Ristures supporters
are such as could not be objected by the vsioest prima
donna as diverting the interest of the spectators from her
own performance.

for Sheffield for the recognition of the Confederate States :
" That this house, witnessing with the deepest regret the
lamentable mate of life which has characterised the struggle
now carried on for now more than two years between the
Northern and Southern States of America. and being de-
sirous of preventing the further effusion of blood, calls upon
her MAjeety in the came of humanity, and io the interests
of civilisation, to request the co-operation of the Emperor
of the French in recommending an immediate armistice, so
that the belligerente may have as opportunity of calmly eon-
sideriug the condition to which their country hes ban
brought through the sacrifice of the best interests of peace
to the pusioos engendered by civil war, and for the
deciding on the adoption of such mutual arrangement and
settlement as are suited to the actual position of affairs ;
thereby itemised.* a contest the coationance of which,
independent of the injury which it has indicted on large

MURDER AT CHATHAM.

CHATHAM, WEDNISDAT.--ShOttly after 8 o'clock
this morning information was received at the central polies
statiso,htery-road, that a murder had been committed
at Brampton by an artilleryman, the victim being the man's
only child, an infant of about • year old. On the police
mending to the house described, which is situate is one
of the worts leading from the priori* street in
Bremptoo, they wore &coastal by the murderer, whoa, is
answer to their inquiries, he at once admitted that he had
killed the child, and pointed the body out to the Athos.
The sawed is about 25 years of age. His name is Alfred
Holden. Ile was at eon taken into custody and removed
to Bromptos Bartsch", where the Royal Artillery
are quartered, after which he was haed ever
to the police authorities, and conveyed to the
'Utica-house. The deceased child was named Alfred James
Ifeldeo, and is stated to be eleven months old. The pm-
scosrowho always ,vpsued to be exceedingly food el his
child, being a mennd man, was permitted to reside out of
barracks, and with his wife occupied the room in which the
murder was committed. Boon alter getting up this morn-
ing he sentt bis wife out for some beer, and darns her

clasp-knife, nearly severing the head from the body, and
caning almost instant death. On the return of his
wife the body of the child was found where the pri-
soner had placed it, and life quite extinct. IV.
WlD:deizlt a surgeon, residing ia tin locality, was ha-
y summoned, but his services were al eo avail.
Os the prisoner being cooveyed to the statioo-bonse, and

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The weather has been of the most favourable
character throughout the week, with the barometer well
up from the beginning, until on Wedeesday it reached
30.50 in., while the thermometer cm that day was 50 deg.
The barometer steadily fell from this high point daily, until
on Saturday it registered 29.80 in., sad the thermometer was
up to 56 deg., with a high wind prevailing from the north-
west, and a change in the weather thnateaing. But on the
whole it baa been remarkably fine, at times the sun Aiming
brilliantly, and March dust bee been experienced in shun-
, dauce—eo valuable • commodity at this season of the year.
The tureen have been actively employed, and a great
breadth of land has been planted with barley ; many of
them having finished sowing, whilst some on the heavy dig
soils have not been able to get on so well, from more
moisture being actually wanted to 'cable them to put the seed
into the ironed in nice order. That which was got in early
is up, with a good appearance. The Scotch has germinated
very well—moth better thee the appsaraoce of sample
would White, and some growers prefer this to the very
choicest English chevalier, as being a greater change.
Time has latterly been abetter selectioa from Soothed,
which lea enabled the buyers for seed to obtain this
description more to their mind, both as regards plies
and quality. The select qualities of English have become
scarce, and prices of such are pretty well supported, the
intermediate aorta being those which have receded the
most. This arises from the increased quantity of foreign
which has latterly core* in from Fiume and the north of
Europe. The delivenee have been peatly reduced in all the
barley-growing districts, and no doubt will be less weekly.
But as the malting moms is desiring to • close, Ibis is sot
of much consequence, more particularly as some fine Seals
and French qualities, are dropping ia, which will be taken, by
the malodors to finish up their working in the MAIM,
thus fat the temperature has been most suitable for the
manufacture of melt, and a fair quantity of good quality
will be held by all the large maltaten. This
grain is the only crop which has bone • remu-
nerative price, and • great breadth of bed hes bees
sown spin in the hope of good Maros after &tether
harvest. Where men could be spared for the work, the
weather has been suitable for thrashing wheat this week,
and if pekoe were better, • larger supply would be brought
out. At present there is not much encouragement to said
this grain to market, and some farmers are determined to
look cm, as the political horizon is somewhat disturbed, ad
