Hon. P. Soule. •
Lady Franklin is stated to-be at last'resigned to
the belief that-her-brave husband is no more, aprl
to have requested that a tablet, to be erected to
the memory of Sir John and his devoted conk-

SeVeral persons, who had been committed to
gaol charged with enlisting recruits' within the
United-Stat-ea c-or the purpose of serving in the war
in the Crimea had been examined before the United
States Cotrnisiioners' Court. The result' was an
adjournment. Three prsons had also been ex-
jooaui runee, d
Massie,ot h
amined in the same Court, charged with fitting out
a brig at the port of New York for the Purpose of
the African slave tra,le. This case was also ad-
amount.
The wholesale clothing warehouse of Messrs.
dest4oyed by fire. The loss of goods was estimated
at $llB,OOO ; the loss on the building, $31,000.
Ilenel Kinney's vessel, the
United States, was
fiantdin Baltimore, baibail
t to
aad largebeen
lyin in East River, New York, blockaded by
three Government steamers- and a revenue cutter.
An attempt to sail had been f 1-
rustrate, tme
authorities.
Proceedings had been commenced against the in-
fringers of the prohibitory liquor law.
The Canadian Legislature had been prorogued
by his Excellency Sir Edmund Head. A bill for
applying the principle of popular elections to the
house_bad been thrown out.,
• The steam-ship Law had arrived at New York
with advices from California to the Ist ult., and
$1,524,025 in golddust on freight. The amount
of golddust taken to Panama on the 13th ult., by
the Golden Gate was $1,500,000 ; of this amount
$152,984 was on English account. The news is
uninteresting.
The crops never looked more promising, and the
markets were crowded with the finest vegetables.
The mining interest was in a flourishing condition.
The " dry diggings" were abundantly supplied
with water, and miners were doing well almost
everywhere. Little was said about quartz mining,
but from Grasu Valley and other mills were re-
ceived favourable accounts of alterations in this de-
partment of mining.
Business continues excessively dull. The Kern
River humbug was effectually exploded. The San,
Diego Herald reported that gold diggings had been
found at Santa Ysabel, in San Diego county.
An act to levy a capitation tax of 50 dollars on
every Chinaman arriving in the State has been
adopted by the Legislature.
Colonel Walker's expedition had. not sailed.
Arrangements were on foot, however, to give the
Vesta a speedy despatch,.
The demand for money was not active. The
amount of bullion in the country was said to be
larger than it ever was before.
The Sandwich Islands Legislature had been
opened.

King Kamehameha, in his speech alluded to the
institution of Chief Justice Lee to Washington as
being highly important. A large amount of forged
bills had been put in circulation by Messrs. Swan
and Clifford, ship chandlers ; but before one was
protested the parties bad left the island. Several
British and French war vessels were at Honolulu,
consisting of the frigate President, the Brisk (13
guns), English screw-steamer, Commander Alfred
Curtis, and sloops of war Dido and Rattlesnake.
The'donarch, 84, guns, Captain George Patey, is
the New British flag-ship, and was expected
shortly to arrive. The French frigate Alceste 50
guns, was to leave Callao on the 14th of Marclifor
Honolulu, and. a French corvette was to follow the
Alceste from France, when Admiral Fourichart,
the new Commander-in-Chief on the Pacific, was
expected daily to arrive at Honolulu ; it was ex-
pected they would proceed northward, probably to
join the expedition against Petropaulovski.
Havannali dates to the 23d ult, had been re-
' ceived. The Captain-General had returned from
his tour of official inspection in the provinces,
highly pleased with the result. The United States
frigate Constitution, which had arrived there after
a two years' cruise on the coast of Africa, Lad only
lost two men out of a crew of 600, one of whom
was accidentally drowned, and the other died of
pulmonary consumption. The low rate of morta-
lity is unprecedented.

The health of the island was good ; the market
for sugar was quiet.
The increased duty on sugars in Great Britain
had not materially affected prices. The stock in
Havannah was about 200,000 boxes, and at Ma-
tanzas about 40,000 boxes. Molasses were in brisk
demand, at full rates, holders demanding an ad-
vance. Advices from Mexico• the 19th ult. state
that Santa Anna, at the latest accounts, was ad-
vancing upon Zamora, while the insurgents were
posted iu force ; his army,
.however, had been
separated by the skilful manceuvering of his op-
ponents. It was reported that the Government
troops had gained a victory at Guanaxuato.
Later intelligence from the Great Salt Lake re-
palls orts that prosperity prevailed throughout the
vy.
The election held to fill vacancies in the Legisla-
lature for Kansas had resulted in favour of the
pro-slavery candidate.
Accounts from the plains, received through vari-
ous channels, agree that the indian tribes were
assuming a very hostile attitude against the whites;, the combination of the Sioux Indians for this ob-
ject was confirmed.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
In the New York money market the supply of capital
continued superabundant. The stock market had been
rather more active. Prices slightly improved ; still busi-
ness continued limited. Sterling exchange maintains its
firmness, and in fair demand. Bills on London were
quoted 1091 to 1104 per cent., and on France sf. 12ic.
to tif. 15c.
The cotton market continued excited, prices having
advanced lie. to 51e.
Flour was a shade higher, the advances being chiefly
on common and medium qualities. Wheat without ma-
terial change in value. The demand for pork had been
more active. New moss declined 124 c. to 25C.;. new
prime advanced 12c. Other kinds remained Without
change, Beef continued in fair request, and the'marlat
firm.

In freights the offerings of all descriptions continued
small, and rates are without improvement.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING.
The John Knox, Captain Monro, from the Cape
of Good Hope the 19th of April, landed a small
mail here this evening. Affairs at the Cape con-.
thine prosperous. The frontier is quiet, and the
copper mine productive. The cattle disease is not
yet eradicated.
Sir George Grey, who is very popular, gave his
first public ball on the 17th of April. His Excel.
lency contemplated an official inspecti3n of Nama-
qualand shortly.
The Parliament, which was still sitting, had
thrown over for the present the voluntary system
in the church.
