TO TRH EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS.

Sir,—Many persons recommend holders of South Sea
Annuities and other stocks, of which the conversion is com-
pulsory, to accept the alternative of being paid off at par,
and to reinvest the produce in Three per Cent. Consols,
which Three per Cents., it is argued, etan.l little chance of
being reduced for a long time to come, en account of their
large amount. and other difficulties which would accompany
a legal and voluntary conversion. Would you have the
kindnesa to notice this in your City article, for I have a
strong opinion that, if money keeps its present value, almost
all the holders of South Sea Annuities, eze., will demand to
be paid off, and that it will suit them better to purchase
Consols, and pay brokers for their commission upon the
opera ion, than to accept any of the rvw securities offered
them by our clever Chancellor of the Exchequer, who hcs
been quite right to propose the different mutations he has
offered to the public, as his business is to get ric much as he
can out of those who have lent money to government;
whilst, on the other hand, the funslholtler will of course do
his best to get what he can out of Mr. Gladstone. There is
not much to bo made out of such a closer minister, but I
think ghat those who aro runpelled to chancre their secu-
rities had b. iter t..ke three per G ut. exchane.
I have not seen this view advocated.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMAItY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LANE, SATURDAY MORNING.

In the colonial markets a very goad business has been
done, and some kinds of produce have brought higlter rates,
while others have have not quite maintained former valua-
tion,. There was • good demand for Sugar in the early
part or the week at full prices; but yesterday sales went off
rather heavily, and in same instances at about tid. per cwt.
decliae. For the coloury sorts of plantation Ceylon Coffee
there hate been free purchasers at about Is. per cwt. advance;
but other sorts are unaltered in value. Several sales of
Rice have held; Madras has gone off at about farmer rates,
while Bengal has sold rather irregularly. Saltpetre con-
tinues heavy of sale. The Tea market remains extremely
firm, and a fair business is doing, with a strong inquiry
far goad and fine Cougous, for which extreme rates have
been paid.

ADMIRALTY COURT.—YarrEaDAY.
Suomi Da. ireetscerow.
THI DIA:IA.—DAMAGE.
The Diana wee a steamer d 389 tons, en her voyage frees
Nienvedieep to London, and she was said by the brigan.
tine Primrose, 136 tons, for having run against her in
Nortbfleet Hope, on the 13th of November. The Prim-
rose was on her voyage from Seaham with coals, and while
at anchor in the Hope, had met with a previous collision,
by which her rudder bad sustained such damage, that she
had been compelled to cast another anchor to steady her ;
and she charged the steamer with having come up the South
Channel instead of the North, and so caused the accident.
The steamer, however, brought a cross action, and attri-
buted the blame to the Primrose, for having been impro-
perly moored.
The Trinity Masters said the steamer was solely to
blame, and
The court therefore pronounced for the damage.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YEsnaDAY.
Marcum Ma. COMUMIONIII Cioulavax.
IN Itll W. MORTEN.

This was the certificate meeting. The bankrupt was a
bill-discounter, of Bagrave-place, Pimlico.
His Honour asked how the cue bad come before the
court / The bankrupt, in the true sense of the word, was
not a trader.
Mr. Linklater said the bankrupt bad been duly adjudi-
cated and paned his last examination.
His Heaour—lt is quite manifest that there has been a
ems fraud upon the court end the bankrupt law. The
bankrupt was a bill-discounter or au agent to a bill-dis-
counter. There is not a farthing of assets, and the case
ought to have gone to the Insolvent Debtors' Court.
Mr. Linklater said the bankrupt had been in prison, and
be trusted the court would adjudicate on the qrestion of
certificate.

His Honour said be would not do so without consulting
his brother commissioner.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday, pursuant to a requisition signed by a
majority of its members, a special Court of Common Coun-
cil was convened by the Lord Mayor for the purple) of re-
ceiving petitions in favour of the City Railway Terminus,
and for the consideration of such measures as might be
proposed subsequently upon the subject.
The court was convened for one o'clock, at which hour
there was an unusually full attendance of members, and
the galleries and passages were inconveniently crowded by
the public.
The proceedings lasted above three hours, during which
there were presented 25 petitions from the 25 wards of the
City, each of them signed by large numbers of the municipal
electors and by banking, commercial, end trading firms of
the respective localities ; a petition from 1,006 barristers
and solicitors of the inns of court ; another from 3,400 of
the inhabitants of Clerkenwell ; one from the rector,
churchwardens, and vestry of St Andrew, Holborn ; one
from the incumbent, churchwardens, and vestry of St.
Peter, Saffron-hill ; one from the inhabitants of the liberty
of Hatton-garden ; one from the salesmen of Newgate-
market ; erne from 1,000 butchers of the metropolis ; and
lastly a memorial from the directors of the company.
Mr. Lowrey and several gentlemen appeared at the bar
in support of the petition from the banking and commercial
interests of the City, and that gentleman was examined at
considerable length upon the merits of the project and its
importance to the City.
Finally, all the petitions being presented, Mr. Deputy
Harrison handed to the Town Clerk a resolution he ic-
' tended to move, which was read, and the discussiun was
' adjourned until this day (Saturday), when it is expected
there will be a full attendance of the public as well as the
I member' of the court.

Mr. H. L. TAVLOIL moved the following, which was
carried, and ordered to be referred to the Officers and
Clerks Committee :—" That it be referred to a committee
to inquire into the nature, duties, and emoluments of the
office of Chamberlain of the City; to reconsider the terms
and conditions of the appointment, and forthwith to report
to this court as to any and what alteration it is desirable
should be made in reference thereto, or to the office gene-
rally." Adjourned.

COVENT GARDEN.-THIS DAY.

The weather having become favourable, Vegetables are
improving both in quality and quantity. Forced Peaches
make their appearance, and we have alto seen a few
Nectarines. Forced Strawberries fetch from fxl. to Is. an
ounce. The supply from the Continent of Peas, Potatoes,
Carrots, Asparagus, Radishes, Artichokes, Endive, and
Lettuces, is still well kept up. Both Seakale and Rhubarb
are abundant. Young Carrots and Turnips fetch from
Is. to 2s. per bunch. Old Potatoes are now chiefly
confined to Regents. Frame Potatoes fetch from ls. to
2s. per lb. Mushrooms are scarce. Cut flowers consist of
Pelargoniums, Primulas, Fuchsias, Roses, Cyclamens,
Mignonette, Cinerarias, Azaleas, and Camellias.

METALS.—Mr. Monte's Circular states that the
Scotch pig iron market has shown rather more animation
this week ; quotations show a slight improvement in value
—we quote 50s. 61. cash, mixed numbers. For spelter the
market is active ; 100 tons sold at 191.105. ; 200 ditto at 201.
No sellers now under 201.105. Tin is steady, without alter-
ation in price. Copper is firm at present rates. Lead very
dull. Tin plates continue with very little inquiry.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING MAY 21, 1853.

the case might be, should send a list of names
of those to be examined, stating when their vessels
would sail or be in the Downs. The examiner
could be put on board as the pilot for the
trip, and the full pilot fees for the occasion
should be paid to the pilotage examination fund. '
The shipowner would thus lose nothing, as he
must in any case pay for a pilot, unless the captain
were licensed, and the fund so created would be ;
ample to meet tho expenses of a proper corps of
examiners, who would have ample occupation. One
advantage of licensing captains as pilots, would
be the making owners of ships responsible for
damage by collision, &c. As it is the moment the
pilot steps on board, the responsibility of the owner
and all on board is at an end. The pilot is not a servant ,
of the owner, and if the next moment he runs down'
a ship worth 10,000!., there is no claim against
the owner; the pilot being according to law responsi-
ble to no greater amount thsu 100!., whilst if the
like accident were to happen with a captain, he
being the servant of the owner, the owner would be
liable for the whole damage.
Mr. CARUWELL probably balances:the interests of
the Trinity-house and the Cinque Ports against
the interests of mariners and shipowners, and has
therefore made up his mind to have his Pilotage
Amendment Act as it is, and to leave the amend-
ment of pilotage to be fought out amongst the ship-
owners, watermen, mariners, fishermen, Trinity-
house, Cinque Ports, and Board of Trade. Mean-
while shipping must be exorbitantly taxed.

CELEBRATION OF TUE OFENING.—After encoun-
tering, during a period of nearly seven years, an array of
difficulties and obstacles as numerous as they at times have
appeared to be almost inauperable, the promoters of the
above undertaking have at length succeeded, and that, too,
in the most triumphant and satisfactory manner, in accom-
plishing the completion of these two important lines of
railway, and in obtaining the sanction of government to
their being opened for public traffic.
Tits OPENINO TRIP took place on Thursday last, under
circumstances peculiarly favourable. The opening train,
which consisted of twelve carriages, drawn by a powerful
engine, suitably decorated, and driven by T. Cabey,
the engineer-in-chief of the York and North Midland
Railway Company, left Melton between ten and eleven
o'clock, and arrived at the Pihnoor Junction at a quart-r
to twelve. At twelve o'clock the opening train was put iu
motion, and made an entire trip of the whole distance be-
tween the Thirek Junction and Driffield. Oa the return
of the traia at Melton a large party of gentlemen, number-
ing nearly a hundred, repaired to the Talbot Hotel, where
the opening was further celebrated by a dinner.

playing great activity. The Epoca had been again

HOLLAND.

At the Hague, the results as yet known of the
voting for the nomination of the Chamber of Depu-
ties show the triumph of the ultrn-protestants. The
liberals have the advantage at the Hague itself, where
M. Van ZuTlen, ex-Miniater of Foretgn Affairs, hu
obtained the greatest number of votes. At Delft and
Dordrecht, the heads of the ultra-protestants have
triumphed. The two candidates elected on the first
ballot at Amsterdam were supported by both parties.
M. Thorbecke, the late Premier, has been elected at
Maestricht by the large majority of 808 of 1,043
votes.
London, England, 1853-05-21

ITALY.

Letters from Savoy state that when the vote of the
chamber oh the Savoy Railway was proclaimed at
Chambry the joy of the population led thorn to
abandon their avocations and parade the streets with
shouts of " Vive le Roi," "Viva is Parlement." In
the evening the houses were illuminated. In the de-
bates on the till M. Valerio, of tber opposition, al-
luded to the concession of a railway by Grenoble,
Briancon, and Montgenevre, said to have been
granted by the French government to the Duo de
Valmy. If the French government had made such a
grant it could not extend to the Piedmontese terri-
tory. The cabinet of Turi;niointing out Lyons as
a desirable point, had expressed a wish that France
might continue the line to that city. Now, a govern-
ment that had conceded the line of Cbambery to St.
Genii as being the most beautiful and most direct
line between France and Italy, as well as the most
useful to Savoy, could not, he said, give up its system
in order to join M. de Valmy on the top of Montge-
nilvre. The Piedmontese government could not take
M. de Valmy's proposal into consideration.
_(lnter-
ruption by M. alerio, " But France will.") rance,
the minister continued, had not spoken—the papers
alone had. But even supposing France were not
to prolong the Piedmontese line of St. Genii to
Lyons, it would still be the best line possible. But
it had been said that France would tako it amiss.
Ile would not insult France by believing any such
thing. France could not feel hurt at Piedmont's
constructing a line to St. Genii over its own terri-
tory. The bill before the house engaged the govern-
ment not to enter into any negotiation with France
for another point of communication during a period
of 14 years. Such a proviso was necessary, particu-
larly in case France were not to grant the Lyons and
St. Genii line. But he (M. Palcocapa) was sure the
line would be prolonged, for there was no resisting
the evidence of general interest. The line, he re-
peated, would be prolonged.

BELGIUM.

Two Belgian journals, the Journal de Bruxelles
and the Emancipation, announce almost officially the
approaching marriage of the Duke of Brabant with
an Archduchess of Austria. The Journal de
Bruxelles says:
We hasten to announce that oar prints information
enables u now to affirm that the hopes of the Belgians will
be milieu).

The Emancipation says:
Private correspondence from Vienna, received at the mo-
ment of our going to press, SWIM us that the marriage of
the Duke sf Brabant with her Imperial and Royal High-
ness Marie Henrietta Anne, daughter of the late Archduke
Joseph, Palatine of Hungary, is formally resolved upon,
and will take place at the beginning of next winter. For
our own part we cannot guarantee this important news, but
we can assert that our correspondent is in a position to be
well informed.

COMMUNICATION OF IDEAS AMONG CATTLE. -
There is a large shallow inlet on the Prussian shore known
as the Frische Haff, crossed for the first time by steamers
ten or twelve years ago. Upon their way the vessels paddle
by a common near the Elbing river, upon which the towns-
people turn cattle out to graze. When the first steamers
passed this common they caused every flank of beef to
quake ; such fiends in dragon shape had never appeared
before to try the nerves of any cow, or to excite wrath in
the bully bosom of the most experienced among the warriors
of the herd. With tail. erect, therefore, and heads bent
down, the whole colony upon the common charged over
dykes ace ditches inland, matins horribly. Every appear-
ance of the steamer, to the great jay of the crew, caused •
panic and a scattering of oxen, until, after a few days, the
animals had become hardened to the sight, and took it as a
thing of course, which meant no harm to them. Now, all the
horned beast on the common during that first yearmere in the
usual way placed there to be fatted. In the following spring
they had gone the way of beef, and their place wan filled by a
new generation altogether. So soon, therefore, as the Half
was clear of ice, and the steamers again began to ply daily
upon the route between Elbing and Kooigiberg, the sailors
were on the alert again to witness the 0;r1 scene of uproar
by the water side. But they were disappointed. Though
there was the pasture-ground well stocked with new re-
cruits
for the market, who had come from distant inland
farms or out of stalls within the town, though scarcely one
of them—if any one—had ever seen the apparition of
a steamboat, not a cow flinched. The members of the whole
herd went on grazing or stared imperturbably at the phe-
nomenon. It was a new thing no doubt for them to see—
but they had already been told of it. Every spring the
first passing of the steamers is in this way regarded by a
fresh generation' on the common with complete indiffer-
ence. The experience acquired by its forefathers ten or
twelve years ago seems to be now added to the knowledge
of every calf born in any corner of our province. And yet,
la what way bare thee calves been educated? or, if this
het has been taught fir them at all, what else may they not
taw ?—Dirkent's "Ilowsehokl Words."

GERMANY.

The King of Belgium and his eon continued at the
date of the last advises to be the objects of most
lavish attention at the court of Vienna. On Monday
the Emperor, with his brother, visited King Leopold,
and in the evening the royal guests again dined at
the imperial palace. The ministerial Iniepentlance
Beige publishes a letter from its Vienna correspon-
1, dent containing the following passages, which, mar-
rying off King Leopold and two of his children, may
ho said to be curious if true :
" People talk confidently of an approaching union,
tho parties to which are to be the Duke of
Brabant and the Archduchess Marie, daughter of
the late Palatine of Ilungary. It must be admitted
that this supposition seems almost justified by the
appearance of the duke at one of the recent enter-
tainments in the imperial box by the side of the
young archduchess. A brilliant future is also spoken
of for the young Princess Charlotte, daughter of
King Leopold, and it is not simply on the steps of
the throne that her spouse is found. And as if
these two bonds were not enough to unite the impe-
rial and royal families, a third union is spoken of, in
which the beautiful widow, the Archduchess Eliza-
beth d'Este, would be one of the contracting parties."

ITALY.

The Milan Gazette, cf the 12th, contains a notifi-
cation by the commandant of the fortress of Mantua,
announcing the sentences passed upon 16 inhabi-
tants of Ostoglia ; nine of them, who, with only one
exception, are youths of from 13 to 16 years of age,
are condemned to periods of imprisonment -varying
from a year in irons to three months without that
aggravation, for having made a political demonstra-
tion—of what kind is not stated. Of the remaining
nine, accused of subversive conversation, one has
been condemned to a year's imprisonment in irons,
three more to two months of the same punishment,
while the other five have been acquitted for want of

sufficient proof. The eight youths have since been
pardoned.
The Venice Gazette publishes a sentence pro-
nounced at Udine, on the 7th, condemning a man
to a year's imprisonment for subversive observa-
tions on the occasion of the attempt on the life of
the Emperor of Austria, and two others to six and
three months' imprisonment respectively, with two
fasts per week, for having made disloyal demonstra-
tions.

THAMES.

John Hatches, James Welli;; Pearce, and William
Whitbread, police-constables of the 11 division, appeared
before Mr. Yardley to answer a charge of assaulting 4
married woman named Jennott.
Owing to the irregularity in the manner of presenting
the case to the court, the magistrate was unable to proceed
to a decision, but took the information of the prosecutrix as
follows:
Mrs. Jenwitt said she was a married woman, and mother
of five children. On Saturday night she was passing the
station-house in Leman-street. A great many persona were
assembled there ; and, in endeavouring to make her way
along the footpath, a police-constable pushed her violently
against the railings in front of the station-house ; and, on
expostulating with him, she was assailed with the most
gi is Anse, and called a prostitute, with the accompani-
mmt of a very low expletive. Three constables pushed her
against the railings a second tune, and on further remon-
struting wi..h them, one of them struck her a violent blow
on the nose with his clenched fist, and she bled profusely.
She attempted to enter the station-house, to complain to
the inspector of the outrage committed upon her, and was
refused admittance, rudely pushed back, abused and further
assaulted in the grossest manner. Four police constables
were concerned in the outrage. The defendants were three
of them.

-.---
Mr. Yardley inquired what had become of the fourth
man alluded to by the witness?
Inspector Kendall said he was out of the way.
Mr. Yardley said he should be looked after.

We understand the friends of Mr. Alderman
Ilooper intend to bring him forward as a candidate for the
recant office of Chamberlain.
