AYR BURGHS.

The election of a member for the Ayr Burghs,
comprising Ayr Irvine, Cam*Mown, Inverary, and Oben
took place on Saturday at Ayr. A keen context had been
maintained since the issue of the writ by Mr. Craufurd, the
late member, and Mr. Boyle, advocate, who tire years ego
contented the election with Mr. Crauferd. On Tuesday'
night, however, Mr. Boyle, finding his chanrn of success
anything but flattering, withdrew bum the routed, and the
posit-seeding' of the nomination were comparatively of little
interest.
Mr. AI.r.[ANIMR OSWALD, of Auchencruive, nominated
Mr. Cranford, who was seconded by Bailie Niven, of Irvine.
There being no other candidate,
The Senate, declared Mr. Craufurd the member for Ayr
Burghs.
Mr. CUM' ',RD on presenting himrelf was received with
loud cheers. After thanking the elector, for this renewed
mark of their confidence he entered into a defence of the
government of Lord Palmerston, and justified the votes
which be had given since he had been returned to parlia-
ment. He primed himself to be in favour of progressive
reform, end appealed to the constituency whether he had
violated any pledge he had given when tkeey last did him the
honour to send Win to parliament. As bad been his custom
be would be ready to meet the electors in autumn, and render
an account of his stewardship.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

From the Belgian papers of yesterday, we learn
that the adjournment of the Legislative Chamber is
everywhere considered equivalent to the withdrawal
of the obnoxious law relative to convents and cha-
ritable institutions. It seems clear also that a frac-
tion of the cabinet has from the first disapproved
of the measure. More than one attempt was made
to effect a compromise with the members of the Left,
but the latter remained firm, and refused any other
arrangement than the absolute withdrayial of the
bill. This object is attained. " The law," says the
Isidependancc Beige, "is dead and buried; no one
will dream of attempting to resuscitate it."
The immediate effect of the adjournment of the
Chambers was the restoration of order to Brussels.
Sunday passed without any disturbance, although
there were dense gatherings of people at the usual
fetes outside the harriers. From all parts of Belgium
news comes of manifestations against the measure. In
some plates the popular feeling has been restricted to
street processions,with patriotic cries, and expressions
of antipathy to the Jesuits and Conventual establish-
ments; in other places a few unjustifiable acts of
violence have been committed. Without exception,
however, the intelligence of the abandonment of
the bill has restored to the towns their usual tran-
quillity. r
The late accounts give great significance to the
movement. In the large towns the feeling against
the ultra-Montane party is intense, and it is not a
little remarkable that from no quarter do we learn
of displays of sympathy for the aheritioneel measure.

Lettere from the Russian frontier state that the
projected new Customs tariff for Russia and Poland
has been positively postponed, and that things will
remain in state quo.

BETWEEN RUSSIA AND

Letters from St. Petersburg of the 24th state that
the Russian frigate Aurora, coming from the
Mantchou coast, having anchored on March 11 in
the harbour of Hong Kong, some of the crew who
went ashore for water were ill-need by the Chinese
population. Tho commandant sent a company of
marines to avenge the outrage. The same letters
state that the Governor-General of Siberia had sent

a body of troops to the Chinese frontier to maintain
tranquillity.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

Letters from Constantinople of April 20, state
that the reason for the postponement of the elections
in the Roumanian provinces is that tho commis-
sioners assembled at Bucharest found it very difficult
to construe the firman convoking the divans ad hoe.
They had referred to the Porte for explanations
touching several obscure point.. It has been decided
at Constantinople that the representatives of the
powers parties to the Treaty of Paris, who had
taken part in drawing up the firman, should meet
again to revise the articles upon which questions
had been raised. One of the main difficulties relates
to the domicile of the Boyards, and another concerns
the mode of taking the votes of the clergy. The
correspondence, however, does not prognosticate a
longer adjournment than to the end of May, instead
of to Juno 10, as has been stated.

AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA.

The Ost-Deutaeha Poet publishes the following
despatch, dated Turin, April 2 :—" The Gazette Min- i
Weirs, the organ of General Ls Marmora, announces
the fanamlien of a camp of 20,000 men at Alex-
andria, cawing that this measure ought to give no
pearemdaa, as it is required every year for the pur-
pose of military evolutions."
The Ost-Desalaelte Port observes on the foregoing:—
"It is our duty to take cognizance of this new fea-
ture of Piedmontese polities. At the moment in
which Austria complained of certain ap-
pearances of hostility, it was thought op-
portune at Turin to enter upon • discui-
sion relative to the fortifications of Alexandria,
pretesting that no demonstration was intended.
Whim Count Pear declared to the Piedmontese
ministry that the Marquis de Centeno was free to re-
main at his post, the latter was recalled. But there
was no desire for a rupture—it was a pare question
of dignity. And now, at a moment when the diplo-
matic relations are broken, Piedmont establishes
a camp of twenty thousand men, and says to
us—' This is not a demonstration, but simply
a military exercise which takes place every year.'
We do not know sufficient of the usages of the
Piedmonteso army to say whether such a con-
IMAMS= has been held every year, and if it
ine when place at precisely this period of
the year, and in these proportions; this we know,
however, that a moderate and prudent government,
!lime tendencies were opposed to any provocation,
and which was averse to causing alarm, would
have preferred in a situation so delicate
to have postponed for some months the
annual evolutions,' in order that their simulta-
neity with a recent diplomatic conflict might not
give them a signification which most assuredly an-
not favour a solution of the difference."

more akin to that of the Censor in old Rome than to

It is somewhat similar to that which the
late Sir ROBERT PREL occupied dieing the last yeas
of his life. The statesman who can watt himself of
such a position with temper and judgment mast
exercise a far greater influence over the destinies of
his country than any minister can. Let who will
be Premier, the statesman so placed must be "V for
my over him." We are much mistaken in Lord :Om(
RrSOELL if his ambition is not of that elevated and
generous nature that can appreciate the dignity that
pertains to each a position. And therefore it is that
we abstain from the small game of praising one states-
man and disparaging another. We are confident
of the future. If Ministers will avail themselves of
the influence they possess (or are supposed to pas-
ser) over the members of the new House of Com:

moan to intradooe and carry good measures, we will
receive them thankfully at their hand.. If they
neglect to do so, we know that there is at least one
orator and statesman in that House of Commons

Barley was in good supply, and, to have made any mate-
rial program in sales, lower prices mutt have been submitted
to.
Oats also were plentiful, and the turn in prices was against
the seller.

commenced to fall in abundance, however, and
speedy improvement was hoped for.

August with 19,647 onnoes of gold ; Royal Charter
for Liverpool, August 12, with 83,693 ounces; Se-
ringapatam for Liverpool, August 15, with 12,183

with 106,265 ounces. The value ot the gold alone
in this last ship eiceeded 410,0001.
The total amount of gold shipped since the corn-

Imenoement of 1867, including the shipments to the
Ineighboaring colonies, had been 79 tons 1 cwt. 3
qrs. 201 b. 11 oz., which, at 80s. per oz., gives the
value of 7,838,8021. The receipts of gold by escort
continued to be far in advance of thee° in the corres-
ponding period in 1868. Ballarat gold had sold on
the fields at 80a. per ounce, and other fields in pro-
portion, but a reduction of Bd. per oz. expected. The
new gold field at Mount Ararat promised to be very
successful.

LIVERPOOL, MoWIAT.

The British and North American Royal Mail dam•
ship Europa, Captain John Leitch, arrived in the
Mersey this forenoon, with advice' from New York
to the 3rd, Boston to the 4th, and Halifax to the
6th instant. She brought 68 passengers and 6,300
dollars in specie.
The news to hand is three days later than to hand

The Indian hence had not arrived at Quebec. The
Ango arrived at New York on the afternoon of the

The bank statement indicates increuing strength
on the part of the banks. The reduction in discounts
still goes on, but not so rapidly as some weeks pre-
vicmsly. The specie reserved now amounts to
13,000,000 dollars.

The steamer Quaker City had arrived at New
York from Havannah with 'dykes on the 29th ult.,
and 173,000 dollars in specie. Havannah reported
perfectly healthy. The monetary crisis severely

PARIS, thxDAT Evumo.

I call your attention to the extremely unfavour-
able character of the weekly commercial review of
the Prem. In this country, where there is a diffi-
culty in stating disagreeable truths, it is most
unusual to read anything so gloomy as the follow-
ing account of the condition of trade in Paris and
the provinces, and I fear there is no ground to sup-
pose that it is in any way overcharged. Indeed,
several mayors of large towns, and among them the
mayor of Lyons, have come to Paris this week for
the express purpose of representing to the Minister
of the Interior the fears they entertain of distress
among the manufacturing population this winter,
and some of them have put the question whether
the government was prepared to make large grants
of money to feed the people. In Paris, so great is
the want of money among small tradesmen, that
bills for ridiculously small sums, such as 20fr. and
161 r., are flying about in all directions. A friend of
mine has seen and handled, though the fact seem
incredible, a bill for Mr. at six weeks' date :
