THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocK.

Statements received by telegraph of the actual
entrance of the Russians into Jassy caused a fall in
the funds at tho commencement of business this
morning. Consols opened with an unsteady appear-
ance at 971 to 98 ex die-. for July, and oscillated
between these figures for some time, but large sales
have been made, one house having sold 100,000/.
stock at 971, and the market has since fallen to 971
to "4, which is the present quotation. The fall of
course extends to all the other departments of the
market, and the Stock Exchange at the present mo-
mentpresents an unsettled appearance throughout.
The Three per Cents. Reduced are marked 981 to
; the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 1011 to 101;
India Stock, 262 to 205; Exchequer Bills, Is. to ss.
prem.
The foreign stock market has also fallen, but re-
liable quotations are with difficulty obtained. The
sales include : Mexican, at 27: to 3; Peruvian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 831 ; Equador, ; Granada
Deferred, 91; Sardinian, 931 to 941; Russian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 991 ex div.; Dutch Fours,
941 to 96; Brazilian Fives, 90 to 100.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINC-IN-O:;;;;:gATVRDAT MORNING.

There has been a gooa demand for colonial produce dur-
ing the week, and, generally, full rates are current.

ARRIVAL OF THE ➢IELBOURNE.

PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY.

The Australian steamer Melbourne, Captain .1. S.
Hutton, arrived here at noon. She left Sydney
March 6 ; King George's Sound, April 2; Cape of
Good Hope, May 17 ; and St. Vincent's, June 14.
She brings a very heavy mail, in charge of Com-
mander Phillimore, R.N., 100,000 ounces of gold,
and 117 passengers, including Mr. Saunder, of the
Ordnance Department at Simon's Town. She has
had a rough passage home, and has sustained several
breaks down.
The news from Australia has been anticipated
but from tho Cape the intelligence is of a satisfac-
tory character. The frontier, and the tribes on the
extensive borders of Cape Town colony remain tran-
quil. The Gaika tribes are being located under the
direction of the Governor-General. Confidence in

the government was on the increase. In the colony
the constitution has been accepted by the great body
of the colonists with lively joy and gratitude. The
exceptions are few, and consist exclusively of men of
English birth or extraction.
The Hydaspes, Indian Mail steamer, left the Cape
for England, on her return, broken down, May 6th.
Sho has some passengers. Her Majesty's steamer
Sphynx was to leave the Cape for England May 17.
The Indian Mail steamer Calcutta was spoken
with June 2, 10 miles north of the Line, lon. 12.42
west, all well.
Many of the passengers, nearly the whole of whom
are from Australia, landed at Plymouth, where the
vessel remained at 7 p.m.

service, has come home invalided, and Lient.Warren,l
R.N.,Admiraltv agent, is laid ep in one of the islands. i
Much of the.iihiess on board the Magdalena was
dysentery. 'l'he yellow fever at St. Thomas was con- I
fined to the shipping. The chief plane in the West I
Indies where the fever is cow raging is Jamaica. At
St. Thomas the utmost care is taken un beard the
West India Company's steamers not to have com:nit-
uication with tho infected vessels in the harbour.
While the Magdalena was fast to the buoy in South-
' ainptou water yesterday, one of the passengers—a
singularly-looking old gentleman,aildtessed the people
in the boats who surrounded the ship, and who were
40 feet below him. lie f poko in an oratorical and
most vehement manner, stating who he was and with
j whom he was acquainted, that he was ill and wanted
to be released from the ship. Ahhouah death had
ken busy amongst the crew of the Magdalena, every-
, thing was apparently forgotten on board, and a
merrier party could scarcely be seen than the crew,
officers, and passengers of the ship when the shore
boats came alongside.
The Magdalena met the Orinoco just as she came
out from St. Thomas, on the 27th ult.; she overtook
the screw-steamer Hydaspes, front the Mauritius and
the Cape of Good Hope, which was under sail. 'I he
Mauritius and the Cape mails of the Hydnspes were
put on bard the Magdalena. The mail was a very
small one. The Hydaspes broke down on her outward
voyage, and had been under sail all the way front
the Mauritius. She had made a good passage, hav-
ing proved a good sailing ship. She cannot be now
fir off Plymouth, if she has not already arrived
there.

CHINA.

HONG KONG, MAY 6.—The mail steamer has
been detained until two p.ln. this day in expecta-
tion of the receipt of advices from Shanghae, but she
will take her departure without any further news
from the seat of war. The fact is, since the depar-
ture of the last mail steamer there has not been a
single arrival from Shanghae, which circumstance
has perplexed politicians and commercial men. All
sorts of rumours are current at Canton to the effect
that the city of Nanking has been re-captured by the
rebels, and that they hare moved in the direction of
Peking. This, however, has not received any authen-
tication ; and for actual facts the English reader
most await the arrival of another mail. The " battle
of the frogs "is not yet over at Canton. The erec-
tion of a French flag-staff is still an
eye-sore to the foreign community, and
a source of trouble to the " grand nation." Under
the supposition that two gentlemen, Messrs. Still
and Taylor, who were examining the flag staff,
meant some mischief, their curiosity was reported to
a French officer, who forthwith had them carried off
by force to Whampoa. Their liberty was demanded
by the acting British Consul, but refused, so they
were carried on board the French frigate, Capri-
cieuse, interrogated and—set at liberty. The insult
to Messrs. Still and Taylor has been warmly taken
up by the Canton gents., and to settle the affair,
amicably if possible, Captain Sir Wm. Hoste, of her
Majesty's ship Spartan, has opened a correspondence
with the French naval authority.
Dr. Bowring, consul at Canton, on leave at Java,
proceels to England with the view of securing, if he
can, from his friends in power, the post of plenipo-
tentiary, which will be vacated by Sir George Bon-
ham at the end of the current year or the beginning
of 1864.

WESTMINSTER BRIDGE BILL.

Sir W. MOLESWORTII moved the third rending of
this bill. _ _

After a conversation, in the course of which
Mr. ALCOCK complained that to give effect to the new
Houses of Parliament, the height of the arches of the new
bridge (20 feet) were to be so low as to interfere materially
with the river traffic,
Sir W. MOLESWORTH reminded the hon. member
that the whole of the river traffic passed under one arch
of the present bridge, which was scarcely higher, and not
near so wide as the arches of the proposed bridge would be,
and the keeping the roadway low would greatly facilitate
the traffic over the bridge.
Mr. HENLEY considered that the new bridge would per-
maneatly impede the water traffic.
Sir C. BURRELL moved the debate be postponed for a
week.
The house divided—

PUBLIC ROUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Oa the order of the day for considering this bill,
Mr. SMOLLETT moved that the deWe be adjourned,
and the further proceeding with the bill was then postponed
till klonday neat.
The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in a
bill to diminish the number of sheriffs in Scotland, and to
unite certain counties in Scotland, in so far as regards the
juridietion of the sheriff.
The house adjourned at half-past one o'clock.

LOSS OF THE FRENCH SHIP MOCHA BY
FIRE.

The French ship Mocha, H. de Clos Mednc master,
was totally destroyed by fire between the St. Croix and
Bird Islands, on the night of Sunday last (7th April).
Smoke was first discovered issuing from the after hold on
Saturday, the 9th, at 4 p.m., the vessel being at that time
about 60 miles from the coast off Algoa Bay. The batches
were immediately fastened down, and every precaution
taken to prevent the fire gainini, ground, and a coarse wax
steered for this bay, with the intention•of running the ship
ashore. The fire continued smouldering throughout the
whole of that night and on the following day, the effect of
the smoke being at times almost suffocating. At 8 p.m. on
Sunday night the flames broke out, and the allele of the
ship was in a perfect blaze, the captain and crew being
at the same time compelled to take to the boats. During
Sunday night, the weather being calm, the traits lay
off at some distance from the burning wreck, and when
day dawned she was atilt burning. The two boats then
coasted along the bay, and the long boat, with the mate
and nine bands, landed before sunset to the eastward of the
Zwartkops River. The jolly teat, with the captain and
fire hands, made for the town, which they reached in the
rain and darkness about 8 p.m., and after repeated attempts
to make themselves heard, they succeeded in drawing the
attention of some persons residing near the beach, and one
individual (Mr. Win. Hunt, of this town) gallantly swain
off to their assistance, and directed the boat to a landing
place, and lights being brought, they succeeded in landing
among the reeks opposite 'ilium:act-street. Thu., provi-
dentially, all lives have been saved. The Mocha was a
fine ship of 460 tone, only three years old. laden with rice
and jute, the latter article haviegleated is suppored to be
the origin of the fire.—Port Elizabeth niegraph.

DISCOVERY OP HUMAN REMAINS UNDER SUSPI-
SIIOta CIRCUMSTANCES.—On Monday morning the labour-
ers employed by the corporation in levelling tl.e property
at the Lake found, at the distance of two feet beneath the
floor of one of the houses that formerly sta Ai there, a
human skeleton, which upon examination Dr. Cane stated
to belong to a person advanced in life, and of low stature,
but the bones were so broken and injured by the workmen
that it was difficult to determine the sex. The rkiletotx
might have lain there for from fifteen to thirty years, and
there could be little doubt that these were the rem- ins of •
person murdered, and whose body was accreted 'MCC ath the
floor of the house. The mayor and othcr magi,:rates held
an investigation, assisted by Dr. Cane, en the spot yester-
day, but could not obtain any means of throwira light ea
the matter. The Louse was last tenanted by a man nanagi)
Piert, but it had changed occupants many times withinOm
vast twenty years.—Kilkenny Moduator.

NIZAM'S DOMINIONS.

The Nisam is reported to have flatly refused to
listen to the proposals made to him by Colonel Low
by order of the Governor-General. The minister is
endeavouring to patch up matters, but it is to be
hoped he will not succeed: we must make the im-
potent ruler obey our behests, reeing they are in-
tended for his own good, or deprive him altogether
of his territory. It is said that the Prince or his
minions have refused to deliver up a couple of mur-
derers who had slain two British subjects near the
Residency. A blue-book on Hyderabad affairs
should be called for in parliament, for the correspon-
dents of the Indian papers are so contradictory of
each other, that one never can be sure that any story
he is reading is perfectly true.

DEVON TIN MINES.

On Saturday the first general meeting of tho
shareholders in these mines was held at the offices in
New Bridge-street, Captain G. W. Keane in the chair.
It appeared from the balance sheet that the available
capital of the company was 5,3251.; the paid-up capi-
tal amounted to 4,0501., and there was a balance us band
of 3,9201. 2s. A report of the captain of the mines was read
which stated that the mines were likely to yield a profitable
return by means of judicious management and a spirited'eu
lay of capital. The 15 fathom level had been extended east
2 fathoms 3 feet. The lode in this end was from 12 to
18 inches wide, producing spots of tin, and the appearances
warranted an improvement. The 5 fathom level had been
extended 6 fathoms 4 feet, producing tin stuff averaging
about 31 cwt. of tin per 100 racks of 12 gallons each. A
report of the deputation which lately visited the nines ser.a
read, and set forth at length the state of the works end the
prospects of the mines. The report was received, and the
thanks of the shareholders Riven to the members of the
deputation.
The

decided on the establishment of a bene-
volent fund, to be in addition to the club money subscribed
by the miners themselves. The value of such a fund is
constantly found in the assistance to miners in cases of
accidents, and on other fitting oecssione. A vote of ten
guineas was made on behalf of the company, and private
shareholders having added 17 guineas in addition, the bene-
volent fund alriady in hand amounts to 281. 7s. This is an
excellent plan, and well worthy of being followed by other
mines. Another feature of the meeting was the commence-
ment of a library for the miners. The formaticn of a library
for the men at the Arundel Copper M ines had been found very
useful; the men reading with pleasure the books provided
and adding funds for additional works by monthly subscrip-
tions. Josiah Machine, Esq., of Tavistock, having visited
the mines with the late deputation, bad expressed his wil-
lingness to be associated with the enterprise, ■nd was
elected one of the committee, and also appointed consulting
director. Mr. Adam Murray was present at this meeting,
and was also elected one of the new board of direction. The
subject of building cottages for the accommodation of the
miners, near to the mine, was also taken into consideration.
On the whole, the prospecus of this adventure, with its well
paid up capital, appear very promising. We should add
that some tin ore, the produce from the ore stones now
rasing at the North mine, was produced at the meeting.

OWALIOR.

In my last I sent yon an extract from one of the
north-west journals giving an account of an awfully
disgusting massacre said to have been ordered or
committed by the young Owalior ruler. From an-
other report of the affair, which is evidently
demi-official, it appears that the prince acted with
great moderation and sound sense, and is deserving
of commendation rather than of condemnation such
as was bestowed on him on the first blush of the late
melancholy affair at Gwalior.
London, England, 1853-05-30

SCINDF.

Major-General Somerset reached Hurrachee on
the 21st inst., and immediately assumed command of
the division. A bank is being brought into exist-
ence at Kurrachee ; the capital is to consist of
20,0001., divided into 1,000 shares of 201. each. A
provisional committee has been appointed to carry
out arrangements—this consists of Captain Forster,
John McLeod, and Manockjee Pestonjec Tubac—
with Mr. H. G. Briggs u acting secretary. The
benefits likely to be derived by the province of
Scinde by the establishment of this bank are large,
and the speculation will, I should think, prove a
profitable one. The progress of education in Scindel
seems most auspicious, and we now learn that Lieut.
Finnimen, of the artillery, has opened a school of
instruction in useful trades, at Hydrabad, for youthful
criminals, and others who may desire to acquire a
knowledge of the arts free of charge. The sale of
land for building purposes at the point called Ku-
mari commenced on the 15th, an agent for the firm
of Leckie and Co. appearing amongst the bidders.
For every 1,600 square yards the purchasers arc ex-
pected within twelve months to lay out 401. in build-
ing thereon. H.M. 83rd had been inspected, and,
as a matter of course, had given entire satisfaction,
and feasted the brigadier in true orthodox style after

ITALY.

The Opinion of Turin quotes a letter from Milan
of the 22nd, confirming the intelligence that the re-
fugees are to be distinguished into three classes, and
adding that the delegations have been instructed, in
framing their reports on the subject, to bear in mind,
that it is not within the spirit of the imperial decree
of the 13th of February, 1H33, to strike all refugees
indistinctly, but those only who draw pecuniary
means from Lombardy in order to foment civil dis-
cord there. Moreover, Count Itechberg is not to rest
satisfied with the reports of the delegations, but is
also to collect every possible information from other
sources. It is also rumoured that Austria will exact
from every refugee whose property is under seques-
tration, a formal declaration, on his word of honour,
that he took no part, either directly or indirectly, in
the movement of the 6th of February.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNINO.
Arrived: La Plata. Her dates are :—Jamaica,
May 12th ; Trinidad, llth ; Demerara, Chagres, 11th;
Vera Cruz, sth. Amongst her cargo is specie to the
value of above 100.000 dollars, of which 27,000 dol-
lars are on account of Mexican dividends.

Yellow fever was very bad at Trinidad, where
there had been upwards of seventy deaths (including
that of Captain Doraville, Collector of Customs). At
St. Vincent there are still some cases. At Dominica
it is also very bad. The Governor's wife is dead,
and many others. The troops are all encamped
out of town, and all well. At Jamaica the fever is
very severe, particularly amongst the shipping. The
Royal Mail steam-packet Medway left her captain
and purser and several men behind at Kingston very
ill, and on her arrival at St. Thomas several
of her crew were still suffering. Mr. Gullies, purser
of the Eagle, died of yellow fever on the 12th inst.,
off Demerara. La Plata lost two men at St. Thomas,
and there were 22 deaths out of 90 cases at the hos-
pital. All the other islands are tolerably healthy.

AUSTRALIA.

ARRIVAL OF THE SARAH SANDS.

PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.

The fourmasted screw steam-ship Sarah Sands, of
Liverpool, Commander Thompson, from Australia,
and the Cape of Good Hope for Liverpool, put in
here last evening through stress of weather and
want of coal. She left Melbourne on the 14th of
February and arrived at Table Bay on the 31st of
March, -having nine days previously encountered
severe westerly gales, which detained her at the
Cape until the 10th of April. On her passage from
the Cape to England she again experienced con-
trary north-east winds, which compelled her on the
18th of May to put into Fayal for supplies, whence
she sailed on tho 20th for Liverpool. Strong gales
from north and west have obliged her to put in here
for coals to proceed to her destination.
Tho Sarah Sonia has a large number of pas-
sengers, there being 300 souls in all on board.
Her cargo is—from Sydney and Melbourne,
60,000 ounces of golddust ; And from the Cape,
20,0001. in silver.
The mails were landed last evening, and left by the
first train this morning. Moat of her passengers
have landed. Coals are being pat on board, but she
will not leave until tomorrow.

PETITION AGAINST THE RETURN OP MR. WHALLEY.

The committee in this case consists of Mr. Ker
Seymer (chairman), Mr. Desch, Mr. J. 11. Philips, Mr. It.
D. Shafto, and Mr. Hamilton ; the object being to inquire
into the corrupt practices of bribery and treating alleged to
have prevailed at the last election.
Mr. Serjeant Kinglake and Mr. Power were for the peti-
tioners, and Mr. Serjeant Allen and Mr. Cook for the sit-
ting member.

Mr. Seijeant Kinglike opened the case for the petitioners
at considerable length, and stated that, in addition to the
general object of the inquiry, • scrutiny was demanded,
and the scat was claimed by Mr. Comersll Lewis, the un-
successful candidate, who was supported by the Milton, or
old whig interest in the borough.
James Bristow, auctioneer, was the first witness called to
prove agvney on the part of supporters of the sitting mem-
ber, and deposed to Whitwell, Cross, and Allen ►.ir,ng the
blue room on his premises, at which t►e " tea meeting"
was held.
Wm. Fevre, doorkeeper, deposed to seeing the various
supporters of Mr. Whalley present at the tea party, and to
Mr. Whalley himself being there, and that he, together
with Mr. Tindal Atkinson, a barrister, asked the women to
induce their husbands to return him.

John Harley, printer, believed that the M.S. of the
printed tickets for admission to a ladies sari's., in honour
of Mr. Whalley, WAS in Mr. Cross's handwriting. Thought
the object of the tea meeting was to procure Totes for
Whalley, who, with Mr. Atkinson, made speeches about
political economy and the tea duties.
The committee adjourned to this day.

NEWSPAPER STAMPS.

In SlliWer to an hon. GIN/LIMAN.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Gala he
should wish to defer for a week or a fortnight laying on the
table of the house the government resolution on these
stamps, as the matter was in some way connected with their
proposal respecting the advertisement duty.

-
- CUSTOMS AC ES BILL.
The house west into committee on this bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved two
resolutions of a supplemental character with regard to the
increase of the spirit duty. One of them intended to pro•
vide for the importation of spirits from the Channel Islands,
and the other had reference to the excise on strong liquors
analogous to spirits.
Mr. MAGUIRE inquired what Instructions had been
issued with regard to the demanding of the increased duty
in Ireland, because the duty had been demanded there at
12 o'clock at midnight on the 20th, although the resolutions
had not passed till the 21st.

I;;Ciligail,loliOf the EXCHEQUER said the
proceedinp had been perfectly correct. The duty was to be
charged on or after the resolutions paned. They passed on
the 2lst, and as the 21st began at 12 o'clock at midnight of
the 20th, the proeseding was quite correct. The parties
would of mares be allowed for the charge of duty if the
resolutions bed sot been agreed to by the house.
The resolutions were then agreed to.

ARSON AT MANCHESTER.

Yesterday, at the Manchester Borough Court,
Thome Dale, the proprietor of a candle manufactory in
Walker's Croft, Hunt's Bank ; and John Heely and James
Clarke, two men in his employment, were charged with
wilfully setting on fire the premises occupied by Dale, and
to the !coffee' of the Manchester Free Orammar
belongingic A few minutes after seven o'clock on Tuesday
evening a person who was passing the building beard a
crackling inside, and on looking in at some of the side win-
dows discovered that the place was en fire. He and another
man forced open the door and succeeded in extinguishing
the fire in a few minutes. He had men the prisoners Heely
and Clarke going away from the premises with candles an
hour or two before. Mr. Rome, the superintendent of the
Manchester fire brigade, arrived at 20 minutes pest seven
o'clock with an engine •, and on making an examination of
the premises, found a tub of tallow under the stairs, from
which appeared to be suspended some wrappering that com-
municated with a frame standing adjacent. The wrapper-
lag was freshly burnt. On the second storey, over the
mein, he found a rod covered with cotton wicks, and placed
diagonally acmes the room was a rack containing rods
se wicks -hanging down. Close to it was a cutting
machine containing three drawers of cotton wicks, and
two of the drawers were open, and some decimal
candles were burning there in an upright position stuck in
halls of cotton. The balls of cotton in which the candles
were placed were saturated with napthe. Near the
machine were also strewn some packages of cotton and
empty boxes, which were not in their ordinary positions.
Hanging before the front door was a pieces: sacking
fastened to a nail, which would have the effect of preventing
the light shining through the chinks of the door or the
keyhole. There was no evidence to show that tko prisoner
Dale had been there during the day ; he bad is sale shop in
Fennel-street. He had a policy of instincts rAt the property
in the Royal Exchange Insurance OSA :or 2001. and the
stock had been valued at 1601. On being apprehended, Dale
said he knew nothing about the
matter;
and Clarke said
he had not seen the candles found b Mr. Rose •he had
taker the keys to his master at '...alf-Ipast five o'clock.
Gibson, the police oonstabs.e,
said be bought three can-
dies like those foundby 'fife. RRae, from the only person
in Manchester ',in as known to sell them, and he found
that 1 hour and 65 minutes was the time occupied by
them interning to the length, at which they were found
whelk the fire was discovered.
Mr. Superintendent Leary reminded the court that from
half-past five, when the men left their work, till 20 minutes
I past seven, hen Mr. nose arrived, was 1 hour and 0
:.minutes.
