THE 8002 CE OP THE HILL—ANOTHER siti
IXPIDITION.

A letter from Marseilles, of Saturday, states that
• fresh expedition has ter organised for diaoverag the
source of the Nile. The expedition is conducted by IL ri.„.l
Mani, a Venetian, who hie inhabited Cairo for the last 10
rem He I. • member of the Geographical Society of Paris,
and the author of • of the Valley of the Nile. He
has carefully studiethe Variol3. &acuities attending
his perilous enterprise. He cams to Francs two months p
dace to complete tin ',Whitt and the personnel of hie expo-
dines. The Emperor Napoleon authorised the Minister of r
War to deliver to M. Miaui the arms and ammunition weer
any for his escort. The director of the mental of filar-
settlee hen consequently forwarded 100 fiat utu•kets and
3,000 cartridges to Alexandria. The expedition is
composed of the Parisian painter, Dams' ; Captain
Peyboux, of the French commercial navy, whose intetion
is to make observations and Or the degrees of latitude rind
longitude, and to construct boata to (ravers, the lakes which
the expedition may meet; of M. Panne', of Avignon, sem- I
Lary to (be expedition ; aphysician, s satarekt, mid a dietniet

pedition are armed with Midi rifles which kill at 1,000 yards,
and with sabres similar to those of the Chussurs of Vit.- •
cennes, which fit to the rifles. They are likewise furnished
with admen end metallic masks, to protect them from the
bite of pokanous insects. They carry with them likewise • sup-
ply of fi ightful masks calculated to terrify the rood savage
tribe.. The members of the expedition, who will feed them-
selves as they can, and chiefly by the chase, will traverse
Nubia, Seminar and Abyssinia. They expect to go far

SALMON FISHING.

The parliamentary committee on the Tweed Fish-
eries Bill have made • special report, which wee bowel with
the parltamentary mere this morning. They state that
timer the act d 1857, the destruction of salmon on their jp,
spsentingtheds has much increased, and all the witnesses L.
concur in stattrig that in the spawning season of 1858 the ft.
destruction was enormous. That this deetructiot has been
Ilk
camel by ordinary poachers; but "there are grounds
for believing that pre ens in a much higher position of life
have refrained front using their ieffaenct to prevent it." This
state of 'Map hoe mainly arisen from a feeling on the part
of th 5 proprietors of the upper parts of the river, in which
the breeding-rewinds ate situate, that they have no interest st
in the preservation of the salmon, and consequently take no et
step to prevent their destruction. The committee, believing Pl.
it to be moat desirable to supply such an interest as will in- a
ducethe upper proprietors to protect the salmon, have ia- sr.
meted a provision in the bill by which rod-fishing is per-
t mitted to coatinue for ten weeks after the terinination of
net-flehing. They tslicse that thia will have the effect of
I inducing • better feeling on the part of the upper proprie•ors n.
than now °lista, and that large numbers of salmon will be
preserved from poachers; a result which will be of the ge
greatest advantage to the interests of the whole river. The see
witness* concur in stating that, while very little dettraction
to the breed of slows is aimed by dal ore of the rod under
proper reatrietions, greet protection will be all ailed by
the prieesce on the river ot the fair and legitimise Meer.
The committee have flied the conau,nremant of the mutual •
close time on the 15th September instead of the let October
as at present, and have flied the commencement of set ash-
ing on the 15th September instead of the Ist March, thus gt
allowing the same number of week, net-tithing as by the pee- ,
sent law, but at as earlier period of the year.
In concluding their report the committee observe that,
"although perhaps going somewhat beyond their legitimate 0.
Linen, na, they cannot refrain from pointing out the great E.
national int/slums of increasing the productiveness of the 374
salmon sprats in the rivers of the reSted K tnglom. That a
greenly-increased production may be created by the spplics-
bon of simple and now well-recognimd principles, has bees
abundantly proved in Inland, and In some of the time erf
Scotland ; and the committee are of opinion that the time
has arrived when a staler course should be punned in the Itia.
other salmon-prolueing rivers of the country."

The Caps papers mention that a commission has
boon sittiog to determine the salt of Lad inallaine. The re-
sult I. than 1,000 Cape foot aro t ) represent 1,033 Britiak

MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY

Two et.loot.
Great inactivity continues to prevail in the Stock
Exchange, but prices are steady. The English
funds, as well as English, French, and Lombardo-
Venetian railway shares, are fairly supported at yes-
terday's closing quotations, notwithstanding the

continued fall on the Paris Bourse. The dealers are
principally occupied with the fortnightly settle-
ment in shares and foreign stocks, which has oom-

menced this day. An Commally small amount of

bosineat has been done for the new account.

The official price for the Three per Cent. Rentes
at the opening of the Paris Bourse this
morning, according to Mr. Renter'. telegram,
was 67.90, and at half-past one o'clock 67.96,
showing a fresh fall of I per cent, compared
with the latest price of yesterday.
Consols have been alternately " buyers and " *el-
_

lers," at 961 for the 7th of April, and arc now
quoted " sellers" at that price. • For money
the present price is 95/ " buyers," and for
the May settlement, 96 " sellers." The Indian Four
per Cent. Debentures have been dealt in at 98j,

and Exchequer Bills, at 32e. to Ws. prem.
Foreign stocks exhibit no important alteration.
The new Turkish Loan is again rather weaker,
at 781 to 79. The old Six per Cents.
are quiet, at 921 to 93. Sales are re-
corded as follows Brazilian Four-and-
Half per Cents., 1858, 941; Mexican Three
per Cents., 21f, 211 ; Portuguese Three per Cents.,
1853, 461 ; Russian Five per Cents., 1011 ;
Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 301; the
Committee's Certificates for the Unfounded Coupons,
5; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 93, 921 ; ditto Six
per Cents., 1858, 781; ditto Guaranteed Four per
Cents., 103, 1021, 103; Venezuela Five per Cents.,
421.
The demand for money yesterday was moderate,
both at the Bank and in other quarters, but very few
bills were discounted below the Bank minimum.
Saturday next is the last day for the payment of
1,000,0001. on the new East Indian Railway Deben-

tures.
At Hamburg the rate of discount rose on Saturday
to 3} per cent., in consequence of the continued de-
mand for silver.
The silver market was flatter to-day, and trans-
actions took place at a reduction in price.
Including about 300,0001. on government account,
the shipments of silver by the Calcutta steamer on
the 4th April will probably amount to between
000,0001. and 700,000/.
The 116,6001. in Australian gold by the Tornado
has been taken for the Continent
The Jura has arrived from New York with 36,0001.
in specie.
The steamer Parana, which is expected to arrive
at the end of the week with mails from the West
Indies and Mexico, will probably bring about
200,0001. in gold and silver.
The movement of the Calcutta and China ex-
changes, as reported by telegram, appears to be
slightly more unfavourable to this country.
The announcement iu the Calcutta telegrams that
the favourable financial statement made by Lord
Stanley on the 13th February caused a rise of about
7 per cent. in the value of government scarifies at
Calcutta, affords an idea of the immediate recovery
which would take place in the native money markets
were the existing difficulties grappled with by the
home government in a bold and enlightened spirit.
It is very unfortunate that Lord Stanley's views, the
expression of which has bad so important an effect
in India, prove to have rested upon an inadequate
basis.
The Calcutta and China mails, via Marseilles, will
be delivered in London to-morrow morning.
At St Petersburg the exchange is quoted
36 5-16 d.
The wheat market yesterday was steady at the
previous Monday's prices.
The last advice@ from Vera Cruz communicate an
order addressed to the authorities at that port by
Senor Campo, Minister for Foreign Affairs, in-
structing them to set apart and under no circum-
stances whatever to use the monies assigned to
English and French subjects. Senor Ocampo had
also issued a circular referring to the demands lately
made by the English and French naval commanders.
Their stipulation that agents nominated by the
English and French creditors should be empowered
to supervise the proceedings of the custom-houses,
and to have free access to all books and other docu-
ments, was absolutely refused by the Mexican go-
vernment, upon the ground of its humiliating cha-
racter. The minister states that President
Suarez has been made aware of the irregularities
which have occurred in the payments to
• the foreign creditors, affirms hie anxious
- wish to satisfy all just claims, and declares
that, in so far as his administration is concerned,
these irregularities shall no longer be permitted.
The intervention of the British naval forces has at
once been productive of the good results antici-
pated. The bondholders devoutly hope that the
pressure will be kept up, should symptoms of back-
sliding on the part of the Mexican officials become
apparent.
Mr. J. Norbury, sen., of the firm of James Capel
and Co., has been elected chairman of the Stock
Exchange, and Mr. F. L. Slone deputy-chairman.
At the annual general meeting of the British
American Land Company, hold yesterday, the report
stated that the land sales had increased, compered
with those of the previous year, to the extent of
7,920} acres ; there had been a reduction, however,
in the prices obtained. The sum realised by the
a sales was 14,9691. The surplus of assets over lia-
bilities was stated at 34,0761. The directors do not
consider themselves in a position to declare a divi-
dend at present.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 8421.
Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's
Weekly List) of the railway calls falling due in
April. The aggregate is unusually large—viz.,
2,274,7681.—0 wing to the demands for Indian
railways.
