Private d 4

The decrease in the discounts and circulation, and
the increase in the coin and private deposits, are unfa-
vourable features, as showing a stagnant state of
trade, whilst the item of railway advances proves
that great encouragement is still afforded by the
Bank to bourse gambling.
The imports of the precious metals this week have
been moderate, after the extraordinary influx of last
week. Our list includes :—By the Cambria,
279,323 dollars, and by the Baltic, 600,000 dollars,
both from New York ; and by the Wellington, from
Hobart Town, nine boxes of gold. We are also ad-
vised this afternoon of the arrival of the Adelaide,
with 40,667 ounces of gold, shipped at Adelaide.
This vessel was compelled, owing to her cargo taking
fire, as reported some weeks past, to put into the
Mauritius, so that her dates are old. fhe total im-
ports of the week may be stated at about 350,000/.
The Custom-house statement of the shipments of
the precious metals direct from London during the
week ending Thursday last includes 15,379 ounces,
and 2,5001. in gold, and 38,500 ounces of silver, re-
presenting an aggregate value of nearly 70,0001. The
statement in detail is annexed, viz.:—Gold coin :
To Hamburg, 1,914 ounces; to Swan River, 2.5001.;
to Mogadore, 420 oz. ; to Boulogne, 20 oz. ; to Bel-
gium, 1,823 oz. Gold bars : To Hamburg, 3,200 oz.;
to Boulogne, 8,000 oz. Silver coin : To Hamburg,
3,500 oz.; to Mogadore, 19,000 oz. Silver bars : Ta
Belgium, 16,000 oz.
The other shipments include 80,0001. in coin by
the Talavera, for Sydney, of which 5,5001. was in
silver; 3,050/. by the Meridian, also for Sydney, of
which 2,5001. was in silver ; 50,0001. by the Sussex
for Port Phillip ; 20,0001, by the General Screw
Steam Shipping Company's steamer Propontis,
chiefly for the Mauritius; 2,000!. by the Derwent,
for Hobart Town ; and 7,1281. in British, French,
and American gold coin by the Severn for the
Brazils (besides 10,000!. worth of jewellery). Sum-
marising the exports of the week, we arrive at a
total of 232,0001., of which 137,0001. was for Austra-
lia. Our statement thus shows a balance of some
118,0001. in favour of imports. Large amounts of
Australian gold have been sent into the Bank during
the week, and must consequently exercise consider-
able influence on the return to be next issued by
that establishment; towards the latter part of the
current week, however, we have beard renewed in-
quiry for gold bullion for transmission to the con-
tinent.

NEIV-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN: A
DIFFICULT PASSAGE.

Mr. Albert Smith, in a communication to the
Builder, says: " There is a small street, but a moat im-
portant thoroughfare, in London, which, although in a
most respectable neighbourhood—even on the highway
from the West-end to the Royal Italian Opera—is the
scene of more obstinate defiance and bad language than any
other part of the metropolis. Ido not even except Bil-
lingsgate, which has, to be sure, become revived and
purified. The number of eyes condemned here, and
limbs subjected to the effects ordinarily produced by
lightning, is really awful. I allude to New-street,
Covent-garden. You have, I am sure, occasionally ar-
rived at the end of Nee-street in a cab; everybody
has. It makes little difference which end, the result is
always the same, whether you are coming westward, with
the bouquet you have promised to leave before half-past
seven, you know where—your Haymarket stall in your
pocket, or your portmanteau labelled to Bristol;—or east-
ward, being late to dine at the Garrick, to hear the first
bars of " Les Huguenots," or to catch your lawyer in Lin-
coln's-inn before he 1 lumbers. Under whatever

circumstances, at whichever end you arrive, you will never
get to the other
can be done to remedy this nuisance ? I know nothing
about the property—its distribution or its privileges—but
I do think a broad street cut through this block of
houses, so as to continue King-street the same width into
St. Martin's-lane, would be the shortest and greatest
improvement in the present London thoroughfares. Ido
not wish to be thought unreasonable when I say that if a
tire were to break out at the fashionable stock and dress
shirt establishment at one end, and with a good strong
westerly wind burn down the whole of the houses to the
corner of Rose-street at the other, the devouring element
would accomplish as much good as if it had taken the same
sweeping liberty in Holywell-street. But if this cannot be,
might not a rule be enforced that all vehicles coming one
way should pass up New-street, and all going the other
should take the Long-acre double elbow lane ? Or, better
than all, why should not a broad thoroughfare be opened at
once diagonally from King-street to the corner of Cran-
bourne•street ? The property Cannot be of much value, to
judge from the appearance andhabits of the settlers thereon.

ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION.

On the morning of the 2nd ult., when the steamer
Prince left Buenos Ayres, the city was hemmed in
by sea and by land. General Urquiza, after pro-
claiming that the "fatal obstinacy of the political
circle which had possessed itself of the arms and
power in the city against the general will of the
province of Buenos Ayres," compelled him to assume
an attitude he would sincerely have desired to avoid,
the general-in-chief of the national squadron issued
a notification, dated April 23, announcing "that the
blockade in the aforementioned part of this port is
established from this date, conceding a term of six
days, reckoned from said date, for foreign vessels to
qu►t the inner roads, and twenty days for those that
are in the outer roads."

The pressure of the siege was severely felt in the
city. The stocks of export produce were exhausted,
merchants were proceeding to Monte Video and to
the ports of Zarate, San Fernando, Ensenada, and
Salado, all in the province of Buenos Ayres, and
which General Urquiza, as Director of the Confede-
ration, had licensed as ports of entry and despatch
for foreign flags.
The naval blockade had been notified to the body'
of British merchants by her Majesty's consul, Mr. M.
T. Hood, a proceeding of which the party in power
in Buenos Ayres much complained, as involving a'
recognition of Urquiza's supremo authority in the
Confederation.
Hostilities were denounced by the de facto govern-
ment of Buenos Ayres on the 13th of April in a de-
spatch full of intemperate language addressed to the
Director of the Confederation. No very serious en-
gagement had since taken place, but in a number of
combats the advantage was all on the side of the
federal and provincial forces. General Urquiza,
however, had forborne to order an attack upon the
town, preferring that the government should fall of
lite own weakness. On the 17th of April the squad-
ron of the Buenos Ayrcan government wont out
towards Martin Garcia to find out and capture the
fleet of the rebels, the city ge.ernment calls Cie

THE POLICE COURTS.

WORSHIP-STREET.

A well-dressed, middle-aged man, who refused to disclose
his name, address, or occupation, was charged before Mr.
D'Eyne-ourt with basing violently assaulted and other-
wise grossly misconducted himself towards a young woman
named Anne Harris, residing in Esgle-street, City-road.
The complainant stated that on the previous night she
was passing through Short-street, Finsbury-square, in the
company of a female friend, when the defendant suddenly
advanced towards them, and, after uttering some insulting
observation to attract their attention, deliberately exposed
himself immediately in front of them. Oa telling him he
was a beastly fellow for conducting himself in such an in-
famous manner towards two unprotected women, the pri-
soner assailed her with a scurrilous epithet, and instantly
struck her a violent blow on the face, which cut open her
lip, and caused her mouth to bleed profusely. The prisoner
followed up the attack by dealing her a savage kick, ana
was about to proceed to further arts of brutality, from
which he was apparently deterred by their screams for assis-
tance, and made rapidly off, but was closely pursued by her
friend, who kept him insight until she met a policeman,
and gave him into custody.
Harriet Holland, the young woman who was in the com-
plainant's company at the time in question, fully corrobo-
rated her evidence, and stated that, after assailing her
friead in the manner described, eke was also subjected by
the prisoner to an outrage of too gross and indelicate a
nature to admit of description.
In reply to the charge, the prisoner, who treated the
matter with the coolest indifference, declared that the evi-
dence had been greatly exaggerated, and insinuated that he
had been in the habit of visiting both the young women at
their homes upon terms of the most familiar intimacy.
On being interrogated by the magistrate, the witnesses
emphatically denied the statement of the prisoner, who was
an utter stranger to them, as neither of them had ever seen
him before the present occurrence.
Alderman, the gaoler, here intimated to the magistrate
that the object of ,he prisoner for the studious concealment
of his name, might probably be explained by the fact that
he had been twice before in custody at this court upon
similar charges, on one of which occasions &communication
was forwarded to the magistrate, from the Governor of the
House of Detention, to the effect that the accused had been
previously ander his keeping, for a considerable period, for
an offence of a more serious description.
Mr. D'Eyocourt said that the prisoner bad been guilty of
• most scandalous outrage, and he should order him to pay
a penalty of U., or be committed, in default, for two months
to the House of Correction.

NAVAL.

Poirrsmouvr, luwz 12.—The serious aspect of
affairs in the East begins to cause great activity at this port.
The screw troop ship Simoono, Capt. Smith, is to be paid up
wages to-morrow, and then to take shot, shell, itc., on board
for the fleet in the Mediterranean. It is also understood that
a Baltic fleet is to be immediately formed, a force which in
the event of actual hostilities with Russia would be abso-
lutely necessary, as the large fleet possessed by that nation
in the Baltic might, if not web looked after, inflict, by a
mere blockade of the Humber and the Thames for a period
of 24 hours, enormous mischief on the shipping interests
of this country. A powerful force is collecting at Spithead,
which can be made available for this purpose, and these are
chiefly screw ships. They comprise the Duke of Welling-
ton, 131 guns ; the Blenheim, 60 ; Edinburgh, 68 ; Hogue,
60 ; Ajax, 60 (all screws) ; Sidon, 22 (paddle) ; besides the
Encounter, 14 (screw), fitting out; and Neptune, 120,
being re-coppered. To these may be added about half a
dozen other fine ships at Plymouth and Sheerness. This
fleet would be stationed at Yarmouth Roads, off the Nor-
folk coast, where there has not been a fleet since 1814. The
Ajax arrived at Spithead to-day from Cork, and the Hogue
went out of harbour yesterday afternoon to that anchorage.
The Plumper, 9 (screw), having had her boilers
repaired, went out of harbour yesterday to try
her engines, and afterwards returned. The con-
flict, 8, screw sloop, also went out Ito the measured
mile yesterday to try her engines. The Vesuvius, 6, paddle
sloop, was brought down the harbour yesterday sad docked,
to take the place of the Geyser, whose boilers are so detest-
Nye as to render her u•eleu as a steamer. The Geyser is to
be paid off, but her commander (Thomas Wilson) is to com-
mission the Vesuvius. The Dauntless, 22, screw frigate,
was taken into the steam basin yesterday.

SWITZERLAND.

The German Journal of Frankfort asserts that
Austria is about to bring the Anstro-Helvetic dispute
before the Germanic Diet, and has already presented
the documents connected with the subject. The New
Zurich Gazette states that the Austrian troops on the
Swiss frontier have been reinforced. The New Prus-
sian Gazette states that the Austrian chargé d'affaires
will return to Berne in a few days. We give these
rumours as they reach us, leaving the responsibility
of them to the authorities quoted.
The following paragraph relating to the present
disposition of France as regards the Austro-Swiss
question appears in the Independance Beige :
According to information, coining, as we believe, from a
very good source, the attitude of the French government
towards Switzerland, in regard to the difference between
that country and Austria, has just undergone an important
modification. After being at lint disposed to support the
steps taken by Austria, or at least to leave Austria to act
according to the view she might take of her own in
the cabinet of the Tuileries has recently declared itself
opposed to the employment of any coercive measures, and
M. de Balignao Fenelos,:on his return to Berne, is said to
have expressed himself to the federal council in language
totally different to that used a few days before by M.
Gobineau.
_ _

The Turkish question inclines the powers to ad-
journ all other quarrels. An article in the Zeit, a
semi-official journal of Berlin, tends to show that
Prussia has for the moment no idea of interfering
in the affairs of Switzerland.

MILITARY.

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 12.—The destination of the
34th Regiment was suddenly altered on Friday night, or-
ders being received at seven o'clock, by electric telegraph,
directing them to proceed to Chichester. They had, with
their baggage, been transferred from the troop-ships (in
which they had been brought front Barhadoes), to the
Simoom, screw steamer, for conveyance to Scotland, and
this vessel had steam up and every preparation made for
sailing. She was, indeed, on the point of departure segen
the telegraphic message came dawn ordering them to
land the following morning. The Simoom accordingly
came alongside the dockyard yesterday, when the 34th
disembarked, and at 3 p.m. they proceeded per rail to Chi-
chester. The baggage of the regiment was got out of the
Simoom by a dettchment of the 38th Regiment and sent on
to Chichester after them.
_ _

The arrangements for the removal of the troops from
this district to the camp at Chobham have been made. The
let battalion Greedier Guards moves by special train from
Winchester at 5.30 a.m. on Tuesday ; the 38th Regiment at
the same hour from this garrison, and the 93rd Highlanders
at 630 a.m. The 88th, Connaught Rangers, proceed from
this garrison in the course of next month to the camp. The
38th Regiment does not return to Portsmouth, but goes
from the camp to Canterbury, being succeeded here by the
2nd battalion Rifle Brigade.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, JUNE 1.
There are no material changes in the quotations of stocks
at the board to-day. The sales of Erie Railroad shares at
the first board were 2,100, at an advance of 1 per cent.
above yesterday. The sales were also large in Harlem, Ni-
caragua Transit, and Cumberland Coal Co.
The Africa has about 700,000 dula. of gold in ingots, en-
gaged for shipment. As this gold has never been deposited
in bank, its exportation has no effect upon the money mar-
ket, the supply of which is ample for all business purposes.
Loans on call are made at 6 per cent.; short paper dis-
counted at 6to 61, and 4 to 6 months; paper at 7 per cent.
per annum. There has been a fair demand for foreign ex-
change: Loudon, 1091 to 110 ; Parie, 5121 to 51.5 ;;Amster
dam, 41 to 414; Hamburg, 361 to 301; Bremen, 791 to 791;
Frankfort, 4 to 41.
Corros.—* he demand has been active since the sailing
of the Baltic on the 28th inst., and prices have further ad.
vanced to lc. per lb. The sales have been as follows :-
28th, 4,000 ; 30th, 4,500 ; and today reported on 'Change,
2,600 ; and subsequently, 1,000. Spinners who have been
waiting, under advice, for lower rates are now buying
freely, and the disposition to invest in the staple is daily
increasing, owing to the rapid winding up of the incoming
crop and the unfavou:ablo condition of the growing one.
The foreign advices, by their lifeless tenor, have Merely
moderated the advance :

SPAIN.

Madrid letters of the 14th confirm our telegraphic
intelligence as to the composition of the new minis-
try, and report the want of confidence with which it
was regarded in the capital. Formed with the
greatest difficulty, and denied the countenance of
influential politicians, it was believed that it would
by no weans conduct to a solution of the crisis into
which royal absolutist cravings and quasi-royal job-
bing in public affairs had brought the state. It was
•
sai that the new ministers were resolved to aban-

don the schemes for mutilating the constitution which
were devised by Bravo Murillo, and cover ly pursued
by the fallen cabinet; but no value can t. attached
to this statement, as the Lerundi administration
appears to have a policy to seek. M. Mai • iat zde la
Rosa was offered the presidency of the cabinet, but
refused. MM. Pidal mud Rios Hosea also declined
General Lersundi's advances.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Aram 20.
There has been yet not much opportunity for the
public expression of opinion here on the subject of the
budget. The Freeman, which may be taken as ex-
pressing that of a large section of the Irish liberals,
confesses that it is founded on a free trade basis,
although dissatisfied with it for the mode in which
Irish interests are dealt with :

The general character of the budget, says the Freeman,
eonsiits in chopping and changing—taking off times in one
directing anl laying them on in another; but in arranging
the series of changes which constitute his aleme, the Moines
minister seems to have observed for the most part a faithful
adherence to the general principles of free trade, and to
have endeavoured when removing taxation to unfetter
Made, and when imposing new taxes not to impose restric-
tions on commerce. There are exceptions which principaey
apply to Ireland ; hut, nn the whole, the budget must be
smardr d as a free trade budget.
The scene at the Athlone nomination to-day will
be a very exciting one, so much party animosity
haring been aroused by the recent attacks made on
Mr. Keogh in the tenant league press. It is never-
theless certain that the popular party in the bo-
rough is with Mr. Keogh, and his canvass has been
on the whole most successful. A section of the to-
rice, bat not the most respectable portion of them,
will support Mr. Norton, who, as I have already
observed, does not possess the confidence of any poh-
tient party.
A meeting of the subscribers to the fund fo. erect-

and electing two lit and proper persons to serve the office of
Sheriffs of London and fi!.i riff of Middlesex. The Lord
Mayor, attended by a large body of aldermen and civic
authorities, entered the hall and took the chair a' 20
minutes after one o'clock. The Recorder then briefly
opened the proceedings. The Common Serjeant announced
the names of several persons in rotation to serve
the office of sheriff. Mr. Deputy Peacock came for-
ward and asked that Mr. Turnley should be excised
from serving during the present year. (Cries of "No, no.")
The name of Alderman Wire u the next alderman to
servo the office being read, it was received with loud cries
of " no, no." The names of Mr. Norris, Mr. Tuniley, and
Mr. Shepperson having been put to the hall, the shsw of
hands for the two latter gentlemen was almost universal.
The sheriff (Mr. Alderman Carter) then declared Mr. Turn-
ley and Mr. Shepperson duly elected to serve the office of
sheriffs. Sir John Key having been re-elected Chamberlain,
addressed the livery, :haokiug them for the support he had
received. The usual officers of the corporation were then

were playing near the South Junction Railway, in Man-

man, who was standing under one of the railway arches,
draw • rasor woes his throat. Thema' fell to the ground,
and the boys immediately gave the alarm to some men who
were at work close by. On going to the spot, they found
the unfortunate man quite dead, his head being almost
completely severed from his body. The deceased was named
Philip Keeley, was 54 years of age, and was employed as a
joiner at Messrs. Parnell's, in Oldham-street, Manchester.
