DAYS.

e from St. Petesburgh have had the elect
iieTpotehee
of determining the Porte to act with fresh vigour. Sup-
ported es the Turkish government now are by the represen-
tatives of all the great powers, with the exception of France,
they consider themselves safe in bringing matters to a crisis.
The entrance of the Greek flag will be forbidden throughout
the different port. of the empire, and the Greek consuls will
be deprived of their exequaturs,
The Prussian and English governments applied to the
Porte to have Turkish protestant subjects formed into a re.
cognised body, with a chief, so are the other ebrietian Beets.
The Porte refused on the ground that the protestant, subject
to the Porte were too few in number.
M. Argyropoulo, the Greek chargé d'affaires, leaves Con-
stantinople to-day, by the French steamer, for Athens.
By a decree of the Sultan, dated the 24th ultimo, Hafts
Mehemet Pacha, the late minister of police, is appointed
Governor of Janina, in place of Has Ahmed Pacha.—
Baron Demetrius de Testa, resident minister of Holland at
the Sublime Porte, died at Constantinople on the 18th ult.,
aged 88. He was the oldest diplomatist of Holland, and for
more than a century he and his ancestors held the posts of
Dutch Consul and Minister at Coostantinople.

AUX CAYES (HAYTI), APRIL 5.
Three deputies arrived, vid England, from France
by the last packet, to make arrangements for the liquidation
of the arrears of the indemnity due by Hayti to France. The
instalments have of late years been very irregularly paid.
These gentlemen have appointed M. Levasseur, the French
consul, to conduct the negotiations with ministers. A report
prevails that a general of the Dominican republic, at the
head of his regiment, has declared for Hayti, at Port Plat.
This may, or may not, be true; but it is certain tkat the
inhabitants of that part of the island are suffering great pri-
vations, and that business ef all kinds is nearly at a stand-
stilL Rain has fallen plentifully here of late, and coffee is
looking well. Owing to this circumstance, and the tranquil-
lity that has prevailed for the last few months, there is every
prospect of an excellent crop. A law recently enacted, if pro-
perly carried into effect, may raise the character of this island
staple in the markets of the world. All coffee passing throne h
the custom-house is to be vigorously inspected, and, if it do
not come up to a high standard, in respect of all bad and im-
perfect beans being picked out, is to be returned on the mer-
chant's hands. Owing to the great demand for bread-stuffe
from Europe, and to the war now raging between the United
States and Mexico, the supplies of foisd to this country have
been diminished to such en extent, that serious appreben-
'ions of scarcity are entertained. In consequence of these
apprehensions the follow* circular has been addr. seed by
the Secretary of the Ham Department and Agriculture, to
all the coateasatiaats at deportment. :

AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR THE DESTITUTE HIGH-
LANDERS.—The splendid American ship Mores, Captain
Rand, arrived yesterday at the Bromiclaw, with a cargo of
meal, beans, pork, bread, rte., amounting in value to nearly
6,0001., being a contribution from the citizens of New Eng-
land to the relief of the destitute in the Highlands and
Islands of Scotland. The noble and munificent gift was
consigned, we understand, to Robert Bennet Forbes, Esq.,
of Boston, the commander of the Jamestown, which ar-
rived at Cork some weeks ago, freighted with a similar
cargo for the destitute Irish. Mr. Forbes, who is of Scottish
extraction, would have been much gratified in paying a visit
to the land of his forefathers ; but his arrangements not per-
mitting this, he entrusted the cargo of the Mores to William
Rathbone, Esq., of Liverpool, previous to his railing from
Cork. We have been kindly shown a letter from Mr. Rathbone
to Mr. Clow, chairman of the Liverpool Committee of Relief
for Scotland, in which the writerquotts the following instruc-
Bons left by Mr. Forbes, as conveying the wishes of the
donors • —" Is regard to the manner of distributing the cargo
of the Morea, I have to say that the desire of the Boston
donors no doubt, is, that the donations' c ming as they do
from all classes of Christians, and men of all political parties,
should be put into the hands of parties not having any parti-
cular bias as a committee, and I understand the gentlemen se-
lected
arc of the character alluded to—bearing in mind that we
want it distributed as far and as wide u the small quantity
will admit, so as to do the most good, and at the same time
inculcate the sentiment of relief from New England." We
doubt not that the wishes of the generous citizens of New
England will be cordially respected by the Central Board of
Relief, as their Christian benevolence will certainly riot fail
to awaken a grateful response in the heart of every true
Scotsman. The following, we believe, is a correct enumera-
tion of the artieles received by the Mores • 412 brls. 202 bags,
and 1 tre. beans ; 450 brie. bread ; 100 tree. rice ' • 250 brls.
pork; 207 brla. and 18 bags corn ; 2 boxes clouting; 44
boxes, 100 brls., and 1 bag oats; 3 begs Peas; 1,926 brls.,
and 56t bags Indian corn meal.—Abridged from the Nora
British Mail of Tuesday.

FOREIGN GRAIN.—Thirty-seven vessels arrived in
the river Thames on Mondayfrom ports in Europe, which,
with the exception of one or two that had other kinds of pro-
visions on board, were entirely laden with grain, the produce
of Mecklenburg, Prussia. Denmark, Sweden, Honorer,
Oldenburg, Norway, and Russia respectively, the greater
proportion of which were from the Hanoverian dominions
and Denmark ; only one arrival was from Russia. On the
previous Saturday twenty-one vessels had arrived at the port
of London similarly laden, from the same quarter of the
globe. In addition to those first mentioned the American

York, brought 26 csaks, 13 tierces and 230 barrels of beans ;
2,774 bags of corn; 1,281 bags and 9,100 bushels of oats;
besides 141 packages of beef, 81 of pork, 34 of hams, 162 of

PRODUCE.—MINCING-LANE, 11W-post Two.—
There bar not been a public sale of Sagas to-day, which has
given an appearance of dulness to the market, but prices of all
dascriptioAs must be considered firm.—Coffee is dfill, and the
public sales pas off henvily.—Rice has become dull of tele.
This article is influenced by the corn market.—Pimento sold
steadily in public sale at 41 to 41, which were last week's
prices.—Cotten remains neglected, and males to any extent
could not be made witkont giving way its pries.—Ram firm.
—lndigo The quarterly sale is progressing, without any
amendment. In other articles nothing new. It has been a
quiet day in the Lane, but manifestly confidence is gradually
increasing as regards monetary matters._

DUDLEY FAIR was Teri thinly 'applied with Beluga,
which fetched good prices. Only four pens of Sheep and
Lambs were exhibited, and only a few of them found par.
chasers. The lirr.e fair was supplied with a large uort-
ment of all kinds, mostly of the inferior sort ; a few only of
the better etas' were to be seen, which fetched high prices.
The rain, which commenced early in the morning, continued
to descend during the whole of the day without intermission,
which kept many away.
LYMINOTON FAIR, MAY 12.—Some fine Alderney Cows
made great prices—up to 181. ; Cow and Calf, 201. the pair.
The supply of Sheep was small ; Teas fetched from -58 s.
to 625. each ; Couples, best, it.. to 66a. ; a few fat Sheep
sold at 9d. per lb. Lambs, ltd.

SIIRZWSTICRY FAIli —The supply of fat Sheep W:JI un-
usually small, with numerous buyers; the whole readily
found purchasers at high !nice' ; Bd. per lb. was the lowest
quotation, while small weights made even more. The Ewes
and Lambe in market were but of inferior quality, and were
difficult of sale, excepting the best lots. Pigs were much
about the same as in our last fair.

WORCESTER FAIR.—The attendance of buyers WY not
numerous, there being a considerable falling off ea compared
with the late fairs. The supply was generally good, espe-
cially of Cows and Sheep. Beef averaged 7d., but maay
were sent hack unsold. Mutton was all mold, producing from
74d. to W. per lb., Lamb, fully 9d. Of Pigs there were very
few, and their prices were on the advance. In the Horse
fair there was not much exhibited, but good animals were
sold readily at great prices.
NZWILY, MAY 10.—The supply of Oats at market was
very trifling, and we cannot note any change in the prices.

noted. The price of American ground Oatmeal is 28.. per
barrel. Indian Corn Meal has recovered the decline noticed

Me. ESTCOURT suggested that the better course would be
In postpone the important measures to which his hon. friend
(Sir It. Inglis) had referred to a future day. For the
future, it might be well to arrange, by an order of the house,
that committees should not nit on Wednesdays.
Mr. FORSTER, so far from wishing to afford any in-
creased facilitim far the sittin.fs of the committees, would
.rather put an red to their functions altogether, for he be-
lieved they were most mischievously employed. (Heat,
bear, and a laugh.) Even the right hon. baronet (Sir R.
Peel) who bad encouraged the railway speculatimis in the
first instance. had at length discovered that they had been
mainly instrumental in causing the present distress.
Mr. FINCH thought, when important lusineas stood on
the paper, members should be excused from attendance on
committees.
Mr. GREENE observed that if hon. gentlemen consi-
dered the business on the paper of sufficient consequence to
require the attendance of those who would be else engaged
on the committees, it would ha competent for them to re-
fuse his motion. At the name time, be must call their atten-
tion to the importni36 of nit unnecessarily entailing delay
and expense upon the parties to the various private bills now
before parliament.
Mr. HODGSON thought it would be better to return to
the old and more convenient practice, when important busi-
ness stood on the paper for Wednesdays : viz., to sit at four
o'clock instead of at twelve.

Mr. OISBORNE sugguted that either the committees
should not sit on Woduesduys, of that the house should not
sit till four o'clock.

HUDSON denied that Sir It. Peel had charged
the existing distress upon reilways ; and, at the proper time,
be (Mr. Hudson) should be prepared to prove that railway.,
so far from hayloft conduced to that result, had been of much
service in mitigatuag the ewil.
Mr. W. JAMES proposed that the committees should sit
oat Wednesdays from six o'clock till midnight. (A laugh.)
The motion was then agreed to.
