RUSSIAN TRADE.

The Northern Bee of St. Petersburg, quoted by
the Journal de St. Peterabourg of April 17, has the
following:
The telegraph Lofoten us that the conclusion of peace wsa
followed in Load= by a rapid fall is the yin of Busies
commodities, partly provoked by the notion that Bunia
ban accumulated quantities of merchandise of all sorts dot-
ing the war, and %bat it mist now dispws of them at a low
figure. In calculating thus, the English merchants forget
that throughout the war Raritan *span have continued
by way of lane, sad that thus we shall not be c 's-
pelled to sell the old stoeu cheaply. The 'appo-
sition of a great quantity of Russian merchan-
dise prepared In anticipation is equally anoints,. Russia
cannot at this moment espwt say otter grain than that
already foand la our seaports, or in their neighbourhood,
since there would not be time to briog anything from the
interaar for the navigation of this year. The cora in store
in the southern ports will have probably been already pur-
chased on the account of French merchants. It is only
then between the autumn and next spring that Great
Britain can hope to fad rota cheaper in Russia than in
America. At our Bourse the price of imposts is firmly
assintained, while that of import merchandise is senaibly
as the dolts*.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TRUP.IDAT iVIIIIXO•

An immense sensation was occasioned in Paris to-
day by the appearance of the treaty of peace in the
Daily News. Strict orders were given that none of
the Paris papers should publish it. lam informed
that orders against the publication have been
sent by telegraph to all the departments. The
Pays doubts not that all the governments will
repudiate their participation in the issue. This, I
think, would be scarcely worth their while, for the
ratifications will, I believe, be exchanged the day
after to-morrow.

The Patric state, that the courier bearing the
ratification of the treaty of peace by the Sultan
most have arrived in Paris this day. Prince de Lich-
tenstein, who is expected in a day or two from St.
Petersburg, will, it is not doubted, bring with
him full powers, accrediting Count Orloff all an
ambassador extraordinary, charged to notify to the
court of the Tuileries the secession of Alexander IL
The official adhesion of the Emperor of Austria to
the treaty of Paris had not been despatched from
Vienna on the 20th, but it is probable that it must be
on its road by this time.

The Pays ea ye it is evident that the Official Milan
Gazette, in announcing that the Pops was coming to
France, hes fallen into a mistake, and that the de-
parture from Rome, of which the Milan journal
speak% is that of the Cardinal a w►o is to repre-
sent his Holiness at the baptism of the Imperial
Prince.

At the BOUM the Rents opened with a degree of
firmness, which was not maintained. The lut
quotations were 74fr. 100. for cash, and 74fe. 33e.
for account, the fall being 16e. and bo. Bank of
France rose 60fr., and Credit Mobilise 35'r. Rail-
ways were on the whole better, several lines rose
from Mr. to 10fe. There was a great deal of talk
at the Bourse of the general meeting of the Credit
Mobilise held yesterday. The report, which is
very highly spoken of, was read to the
shareholders by M. Isaac Pereira ; he en-
tend into long debits on the successive develop.
manta which the society had already experienced,
and coneeroieg the great undertakings which had
been formed under its patronage. The accounts
wen approved of unanimously. The dividend was
fixed at 178 fr. 700 , which, with the 26fr. interest
already paid on the Ist of January last, gives au
annual return of 203 fr. 700. It has been known for
um. tiees that the dividend would be knit), lint owing
to contradictory reports some holders of the stock
had sold out; to-day the purchases were very
numerous.

Pietri, the Prefect of Police, has been placed,
as it appears from a circular just issued by him, in a
very delicate position, owing to an overwhelming
amount of applications from his subordinates to knew
how far they would be justified in offering
their assistance to the committees " spontaneone'y"
forming in every quarter of Paris and the depart-
ment of the Seine for the purpose of collecting sub-
scriptions not exceeding 25e. to buy an offering for
the Empress and the Imperial Prince. M. Pietri
very adroitly calms the susceptibility of the more
*crapulous among his employee. He reminds them
that, though they are policemen, they are not the
less Frenchmen, and lays it down that they may
with a very safe conscience collect subscriptions pro-
vided that they abash: from any et( p which may
look like pressure, and that they leave the most ab-
solute liberty to every individual. A postscript to
the circular notion as a proof of the popular charac-
ter of the subscription the really wonderful circum-
stance that the population appear to have everywhere
speed upon precisely the same sum as the maximum,
namely five sous.

The Novvelliate of Marseilles announces that the
grand banquet whioh is to be given by that city to
Marshal Pelimier on his arrival will take place in the
Chateau Baldly. At the same time the ft,e of the
soldiers who accompany the marshal will be held he
the hippodrome of the Charm dee Flours.
