MARKET&

001TON.-IJVISPOOL, MARCH 21.—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at 15,000 bales. The market closes
firmly at the full prices of yesterday.
WOOL AND WORSTED,—BRADFORD, MARCH 21.
The reduction of the Bank rate of discount this morning
has tended to produces better feeling in the market, and
there is more disposition to do business. Money is, however,
dear at seven per cent., and the reduction in the rate is re-
garded rather se • step in the right direction than as a cir-
cumstance sufficient in itself to cause much material im-
provement. It is very generally stated this morning that
wool is rather stiffer in price, and that light haired aorta,
especially, cannot be bought so favourably by ss. to 10a. a
pack as a fortnight ago. Staplers know they cannot re-
place their stocks advautageously, and are there-
fore not anxious to sell as priors harden. There
is a shade more business doing in spool yarns,
and the inquiries for export ooutioue, though the prices
offered are altogether uoremunerative. The market, OD the
whole, is very quiet. Spinners are working short time, and
1101:116 allow their nutchinery to remain idle rather than pro-
duce to stock. There is nu real market price for the
market having been overinflueuoed by foreed sales, at
prices far below the present cost of production. With the
exception of a few animal orders for export the market for
goods is exceedingly flat, and though a few inquiries have
been toads to test prices, no actual business has been the
result. The return of wintry weather to-day, and the
recent very warlike seers from America, operate to prevent
business being done. There is great caution observed.
Prices are about the same as for some weeks past.

OORN.—Butiffece.kn, MANCH 21.—At Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the l6eh, there was an increased
@apply of wheat from the farmers, and all good qualities
were firmly held for previous rates, but little progress
could however be made in sales. Barley dull, but not
cheaper. Betas tending downwards. Oata unaltered.
Peas neglected. During the present week some considerable
sales of French wheat have been effected at Gloucester ;
bet here very little of any kind bas changed bands :
nominally as before. Barley only taken in retail. Lr'i°ttre
doing in oats, beans, or peas. At Wolverhampton, yester-
day, there was a slow ash for wheat, and no *draws could
be obtained for any description. At this day's market there
was a fair sepOy of wheat, for which higher prices were
asked, but only unused on American end fine English in
partialinstaaces, and we make no alteration in our quota-
tions. Barley, ante, bean', and peas only taken in retail, at
the cerreaey of thin day eelinight.
Demon, Ilene* 2L--We had a rather short supply
of wheat, for which, at the oosemencement of the market,
the farmers asked higher prime, and although the condition

RAILWAYS IN THE CITY.

Alderman LAWRENCE then proposed a motion of which he
had given notice at a previous court, that, in order to miti-
gate the evils likely to arise from carrying out the various
railway schemes now before parliament, for obtaining sta-
tions or termini within the City of London, and which in-
volve the destruction of large numbers of houses now occu-
pied by the working classes, petitions be presented by this
court to both houses of parliament, praying them to intro-
duce clauses to compel the several companies to rue three
train' early in the morning and also in the evening, except
on Sundays, within a distance of six miles from the Gene-
ral Post-office, such trains to travel at • speed of
twelve miles ►n hour, and at the fare of three
farthings per mile. Mr. Alderman Lawrence called the
attention of the court at considerable length to the mews-
VellieoCB to which the working classes would be subjected
by having their dwellings destroyed by the new railways,
and be urged that it was imperatively necessary that they
should be enabled to obtain a residence at a short distance
from the metropolis, anil to get there at a cheap rate.
Mr. Mannar seconded the motion.

Alderman Hone thought the matter was too important te
be disposed of at osce by the court, apd proposed as as
amendment that the question be referred to a committee,
who should be empowered to consider the whole subject,
and report thereon to the oourt.
Dr. ROSB seconded the amendment, which, after mime
discussion, was put and negatived, and the original motion
carried by a large majority.

HOME CIRCUIT. —MA t fr-,Tos s, Dam 3.
Mr. Justice Williams went to church this morning at 10
0' and prooeeded from thence to the oourt and cam-
the business.

His Lordship, in charging the grand jury (of whom the
Berl of Brecknock was chorea foreman), said he feared it was
very irksome and incon yen mut for then, to be compelled to
leave their homes and attend the maims at this season of the
ear, but when they found how many prisonen there were
for trial, anal saw the serious charges that were made
!against them, and remembered at the same time how
important it was that the different gaols in the country
should be relieved SS soon AS possible, he was
sure they would not grudge their attendance,
or taking part in so important • public service.
The calendar was certainly • very heavy one. It contained
no lees than three charges of murder, one or two of man-
slaughter. sir of arson, and several other very serious cases.
One of the charges of murder stood over from the last
amine, and they would, therefore, not be troubled with it,
as the Lill hail been found already. The second was a
charge against a young woman of destroying her newly-born
infant, in which he was sawed they would feel it their
duty to find Arlie hill ; but with regard to the thinl, he con-
!littered they would probably come to the conclusion that the
nutlet) of the case would only require them to find
bill fur manslaughter. There were several oases of anon,
but he only saw in one of them any evidence of the accused
penman bang actuated by towards the party whose
property wee destroyed. Having referred to some other
cases, his lordship said that there was ogle feature in
the present calendar which he felt called upon to say gave
him great satisfaction, namely, the small number of soldier
who were charged with offences ; when he was at this
place two years at, in his present position, considerably
more than half of the whole number of prisoners were
soldiers, and be was very glad to lee that although on
the present occasion there were undoubtedly some persons
of that condition who were charged with offences, still
the number was comparatively small, and it gave him very
great satisfaction to be enabled to make this remark. Before
he dismissed them to theirduties, he thought it right also
to remind the grand jury that the principal object fur which
it was thought desirable to hold a winter assize was to try
prisoner. who cases could not be disposed of at the quarter
cessions, and it followed, therefore that it was never in-
tended that any eases should be taken where the parties ac-
cused were out oa hail, or where they were such as were tel.
able at the quarter sessions, and the reason he made this

DESTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN SHIP

LADY 71,ANZLIN BY FIBS.

(Frew the Elwood Edition of the rinses.)
PLYMOUTH, WZDNISDAY, 10 A.N.

The ship Lady Franklin, Captain Jordan, 1,280
tons, from London, in ballast, for New York,
belonging to Messrs. S. Thompson and Nephew, of
that city, anchored in the Sound yesterday, osten-
sibly to inquire the whereabouts of the Confederate
war steamship Nashville. At midnight a fire broke
out in her fore hold, and she was removed to Jenny
Cliff Bay, and at this time efforts are making to
scuttle her. Several holes have been cut in her port
side and bow, and the revenue cutter Hamilton has
fired three six-pounders into her. Sling chains are
fitted. At high tide the water is eight fathoms
deep. The floating fire-engines Lave, up to 10
o'clock, kept the fire between decks.
As the Lady Franklin fills she has a strong list
to starboard. It is strongly suspected that the
ship was fired purposely by the crew, some of whom
are alleged to be Southerners. Several were sent
yesterday into the fore peak, where there is a quan-
tity of damage and lumber, and eight absconded
early this morning. The spirit room has been
broken into, and one man, in a state of intoxica-
tion, was dragged from his berth just in time to
prevent him from being suffocated.

PLYMOUTH, D. 4.

At 1 o'clock this morning the American ship
Lady Franklin, 1,300 tons, bound from London
to New York, in ballast, which put into the
Sound yesterday, was discovered to be on fire. The
port authorities rendered every assistance. The
fire continuing, the vessel was towed ashore and
scuttled. The cause of the fire is unknown, but the
crew are suspected, as seven of them have run
away.

La Patric ham the following under the head of
" Latest Intelligence :"

"We learn from recent advices by sea that the
steam-frigate San Jacinto had already, early in
November, searched the French vessel Jules-et-
Marie, and two other foreign vessels. The first of
those vessels was a Danish trader called the Jut-
land. She was on her way from the Havannah to
Santa Cruz ; the other was a Portuguese vessel.
These facts have some importance, because they
prove that the cabinet of Washington fancies it has
the power to exercise the right of search to its full

GENERAL SCOTT ON THE AFFAIR OF

VIZ TRENT.

PARIS, Dec. 4.
The United States Consul has communicated to
the French papers a letter of General Scott, in
which he declares there is no truth in the report
that the cabinet of Washington bad ordered the
seizure of the Southern Commissioners, even if
under the protection of a neutral flag. He is quite
ignorant of the decision of his government, but he
says it is necessary to preserve good relations be-
tween America and England. " I hope," con-
tinues General Scott, "that Earl Russell and Mr.
Seward will agree on a solution of the question
whether the persons who were arrested on board
the Trent were contraband of war or not. If they
were agents of the rebels it will be difficult to con-
vince even impartial minds that they were less Con-
traband of war than rebel soldiers or cannons."
In conclusion, General Scott expresses a conviction
that a war between America and England cannot
take place without more serious provocations than
those at present given.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN AUSTRIA.

The Commission of the Chamber of Deputies ap-
pointed to draw up the basis of a project of law
on religious matters have agreed to certain reso-
lutions, of which the following is a summary :
Liberty of conscience is guaranteed to all. No
one is to be compelled to declare his religious con-
victions. The private exercise of religion is per-
mitted to all without impediment. To each church
legally recognised belongs the right of public worship
except in cases whore public tranquillity and order
might require otherwise. The law gives equal
rights and protection to all churches. There is
no privileged state religion. Every church or
religious society can manage or direct its own busi-
ness, and remain in the possession and enjoyment of
the foundations and funds founded for purposes of
worship, education, and charity. Churches and
religious societies are to be subject to the general
law. The state is to have the right of publish-
ing ordinances touching religious matters when
they affect the public interest. The rela-
tions between the heads and members of a church
or religious society are unfettered. The publication
of their ordinances, however, is to be subject only
to the restrictions imposed upon every other publi-
cation. Meetings of the heads or members of a
church, when not regularly held for the manage-
ment of its ordinary business, niust be announced
to the government eight days previously. The
government to have permission to send an officer
to be present at the meeting. An abstract of
theme meetings to be taken, of which the govern-
ment may at any time have a copy. The govern-
ment officer is to have the power of dissolving the
assembly if it has not met legally, or if anything
illegal, dangerous, or prejudicial to the state
should take place at it. The influence of every
church in the primary and middle schools is con-
fined to the religion which it represents. The legis-
lation relative to promises of marriage and to
marriages, as regards their validity and civil effects,
belongs exclusively to the state, which exercises,
through the secular tribunals, jurisdiction in ma-
trimonial affairs. All the heads and members
of a church to take an oath of obedi-
ence and fidelity to the Emperor. The reli-
gious marriage is to take place only after
the celebration of the civil marriage. Differences
of religion to be no obstacle to marriage in the
eyes of the civil law. The general law oa the press
only to be applicable to religious publications.

POLAND.

A communication from Wilna, dated Sept. 3,
says :—" I hasten to give you in a few words some
idea of the position of our wretched city. After
the massacre of the 18th August, a deputation com-
posed of the most respectable inhabitants pro-
ceeded to M. Nazitnoff, requesting the punishment
of Wasiliew, the chief of the police, by
whose order the massacre had been com-
mitted. The reply was that, instead of
being punished, Waailiew would be thanked and
rewarded for having so oonrageonaly fulfilled his
duty. Some days ago an order was posted up
which stated that any person singing the Bozecos
Polike would be condemned in a fine of two roubles
for the first offence, ten with imprisonment for the
second, and exile to Siberia for the third. How-
ever, the vaults of the churches resounded every
morning with the patriotic song. The people after
leaving the churches shut themselves up in their
own houses, so that the city, which was lately so
full of animation, presents now the most dismal
aspect. Patrols are alone to be seen in the streets,
and as there are no officers to conduct them, they
enter the houses for the sake of plunder and sub-
ject the unarmed citizens to the most brutal
treatment. The St. Petersburg railroad, though
not yet open to the public, is bringing troops hither
day and night. The barracks are too full to hold
them all, and large bodies are encamped around
the town. All the temporary inhabitants of Wilna
have received orders to leave the city without
delay. In a word, we are under military law, and
treated like a conquered country. These rigorous
measures, however, have had the effect of opening
the eyes of the peasantry, whose irritation is
increasing day by day. Up to the present time
58 have died in consequence of the massacre of
the 18th, and many others will not survive. At
Kowno and throughout the whole of Lithuania the
same rigorous policy is adopted, and in order that
the breath of liberty may not be communicated
from one province to another, the entire Polish
frontier is encircled by troops."

REVIEW OF KENTISH VOLUNTEERS AT

MAIDSTONE.

Yesterday, the town of Maidstone promoted a
scene of unusual animation, in consequence of the influx of
many thousands of visitors to witness a review of the
whole of the artillery and rifle corps in that county,
amounting to at least 3,600 men. The day appeared to be
observed as a holiday by a large number of the inhabitants.
The number of spectators present amounted to about 15,630.
At half-peat 3 o'clock Viscount Sydney (Lord Lieutenant)
proceeded to deliver the prizes to the sucoeadul competi-
tors at the annual county prize meeting, held on the previous
two days. The County Cup was awarded to private
Andrews, of the 26th Woolwich Arsenal Rifles, together
' with the Bronze Medal of the National Association. His
lordship, in addressing the several recipients, complimented
them upon the proficiency they had attained, mod hoped
that the honours they had earned would stimulate the
volunteers throughout the county to renewed exertions.
The review commenced about 4 o'clock. The whole
of the batteries of artillery and ride companies were
drawn up in order, and Viscount Sydney. with Colonel
Luard, government inspector of volunteers, and a full staff
of officers, rode pest the ranks front and rear; the whole
force then marched past at slow and quick time in excel-
lent style,amidet the hearty cheers of the spectator,. The
accuracy and precision of the tile firing from more than one
battnlion could scarcely be excelled. The review terminated
at 6 o'clock. When the commanding officers of the several
corps assembled, they were briefly addressed by Lord Syrl7
ney. His lordship said he could scarcely expect to Ind
such efficiency in battalion movements, and the military
officers present had expressed similar opinious. He be-
lieved that in no county of England could a finer body of
artillery and rifle volunteers be produced than in Kent;
and he urged them to persevere in order to maintain their
discipline. The force then presented arms, and left the re-
view ground to companies, with about 20 bands. The
street. were thronged with thousands of persons, who kept
up a continual round of cheering during the march of the
volunteers to the railway station.

MADAGASCAR.

Despatches have been received in Paris from
Riunion, to the 7th of September, bringing later
intelligence from Madagascar. Since the death of
the Queen, and the short struggle in which
her nephew was killed, the utmost tranquil-
lity has prevailed in the island. The foreigners
established in the country intended to wear mourn-
ing fur a month, and the ships in the harbour
of Tamatave hoisted their flags at half-mast
for three days. The body of the late Queen
was embalmed, and the King, her son,
remained by it in prayer for six days, ac-
cording to custom. Thu King, since lie began
to attend to public business, bas received numerous
deputations of Europeans, whom he addre-aed in
the most liberal and reassuring manner. Since the
death of the Queen the intercourse between Re-
union and Madagascar had revived, and at the
date of the despatches was very active.

CITY OF LONDON.

The revision of the lint of voters for the City was
ecntinued yesterday niorning by Mr. Alfred Hanson,
in the Court of Common Fleas, at Guildhall.
Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. Ledger uppeared,as before, or
the liberals, and Mr. Nokes (Nokes and Carlisle) fur the City
of London Conservative Registration Association.

The whole of the morning sitting was occupied with the
consideration of cues in which it had already been admitted
that some of the notices of objection taken by the owner-
vatives had been signed in blank, and the result was that •
very large number were withdrawn, and others were placed
on the list of appeals to be made on the cases granted to
Mr. Nukes, both as regards the signing the notices in blank,
and as to whether the service on the vestry clerk instead of
the overseer, was good NA in accordance with the require-
ments of the act.

The revisioo is expected to be concluded on Thursday,
when the result will be given in a complete form.

FINSBURY.

Yesterday Mr. Hull Terrell held his court in the
Lords Justices' Court, Lincoln's-ion.
Robert Thomas StotherdAimed to have his name
inserted on the list in respect of hie tenancy as one of the
"poor brethren of the Charterhouse."
In 1852, Mr. Macqueen, the then revising barrister, after
hearing arguments, in a most elaborate judgmeut admitted
the claims of the „per brethren," and emceed their names
on the lists of voters for the borough of Finsbury, and they
continued on the lists and voted iu respect of that qualifi-
cation until 1859, when he expunged their names from the
list, on the ground that a decision which had taken place
iu one of the superior courts in the case of the poor knights
of Windsor governed this question 1111,0, and he was boned
to follow it in respect to the Charterhouse poor brethren.
The Revising Barrister said, however willing he might be
to admit the claimant to the lint, be must act upon some
principle. Mr. Macqueen, hi. predreerwor, went into the
case very fully, having bad all the facts before him. He had
written his judgment, and if the poor brethren had been
dissatisfied with it they might have taken the Case on op-
tam! to the Court of Common Fleas. The claim was now
met in under precisely the sense circumstances as they had
been stated by Mr. Macqueen, and upon which be had given
his judgment. He (the revising burrider) thought alinoat
on that ground he should be justified in refusing to give a
ate for appeal, but those who sought for one must well
understand the responsibility of doing MO.
The claim was accordingly disallowed.
