MARKET NEW-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
We had a very limited supply of English wheat on sale
in to-day's market. For all kinds the demand ruled
steady, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations.
Foreign wheat—the show of which was small—was in
fair request, and prices were well supported. Floating
cargoes of grain were quite as dear as last week.
Barley changed hands freely, but no improvement took
place in value. Malt was rather firmer than of late.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour sold steadily, and prices
were freely supported.

FRANCE.

The following is from the Times correspondent's
letter, dated yesterday, 6 p.m. :
A rumour circulated yesterday that General
Bizot, of the Engineers, had been killed before
Sebastopol during the bombardment. The fact
was announced in more than one telegraphic de-
spatch received in Paris on Sunday night. It was
not at first denied, but an intimation was privately
given to the papers not to say anything about it ;
and a telegraphic despatch addressed to London
giving the same intelligence was, after some delay,
refused to be forwarded on the ground that the in-
telligence was not exact. It is admitted, however,
that the General was wounded, but it is alleged
that the wound is not serious. It is to be hoped
that such is the case.

A private letter from New York, received in
Paris this morning, mentions as a positive fact
that the home squadron of the United States had
received orders from the Government of Washing-
ton to proceed instantly to Cuba, and demand im-
mediate reparation for the injury done to American
merchant vessels, which were fired into by some
vessels of the Spanish navy. Indeed, the letter
mentions the general impression that the American
squadron was ordered to attack the Spanish ships
without more ado, A war between the United
States and Spain would exceedingly complicate our
present position.

P.S. The Patric publishes the following tele-
graphic despatch, dated Madrid, 23d inst.:—
The Cortes have adopted the sth and 6th articles of
the bill relative to the sale of the Church property.
The Duke of Bailen has been appointed Governor of
the Palace, and the Marquis de Peralos Grand Cham-
berlain.

M. Haussman, Prefect of the Seine, and the
members of the Municipal Commission who had
proceeded to London on the occasion of the visit
of the Emperor and Empress, arrived yesterday in
Paris by a special train.

ARMY PROMOTIONS.

Major REED asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether her Majesty's Government were satisfied as to
the correctness of a statement made in that house, to the
effect that there had existed, and at present did exist, a
system of paying large sums above the regulation price
for promotions in the army (which by Act 49 Geo. 3
was made a misdemeanour), and, if so, whether her Ma-
jesty's Government had taken, or int ndsd to take, any
and what steps, at once to put a stop to the same
Lord PAL MERSTON said though such practices did
occasionally occur they were entirely contrary to the
existing regulations.

despatch on the situation of affairs before Sebastopol up
to that date. Achid2es.d(efparmil P6)G,
" The works of the besiegera advance generally with
extreme circumspection, and very slowly.
" The enemy has not undertaken new approaches
against the Selinghinsk and Volhynia Redoubts, but it
does not cease to cannonade them from his old batteries.
His chief fire is directed against the Kamtschatka Lu-
nette, against which the French have brought some field
pieces to bear in their approaches.
" The obstinacy with which our troops defend those
advanced fortifications, which are nearer the enemy's
parallels than the ramparts of Sebastopol, is deserving of
the highest praise. '
" Nothing of importance has occurred on other
points of the peninsula,'"
" This day 4th (16th) April, the following telegraphic
despatch has been received by way of Kieff, from Sebas-
topol, from Aide-de-Camp-General Prince Gortschakoff.
" From the 26th to 28th March (6th to 9th April)
the enemy undertook nothing important, and scarcely
advanced his works against our entrenchments and
counter- approaches.
" On the 28th March (9th April) he opened a heavy
fire from all his batteries, which continued till evening.
During the night the town was vigorously bombarded.
" On the 29th March (10th April) the bombardment
was renewed. We replied with success, doing consider-
able damage to the enemy. The lose on our side amounts
to 833 men killed and wounded." '

A letter from Hamburg, of the 18th inst., in the
Independance Beige, says :
" The six English steamers which lately left Carle-
crona entered the Baltic by the Belt, the safest channel
at this season. Three passed up on the 15th, before
Nyborg—the Conflict, Archer, and Firefly. The Des-
perate, with the transport Mercator and the war corvette
Manly, were on the 15th at Elsinore. The English cap-
tains are endeavouring to procure on those shores ex-
perienced pilots for the fleet of Admiral Dundas, which
is hourly expected at Copenhagen. Generals Paniutine
and Dik, commanding each an army corps stationed in
Poland, and who had been summoned to Warsaw to
receive instructions from Marshal Paskiewitcb, quitted
that city on the 16th for the head-quarters of their re-
spective corps. All the Russian officers of the Guard

CHARITY COMMISSION.

Mr. A. PELLATT then rose to move for a series of
Treaeury orders relating to the appointment of standing
counsel under this commission, and a variety of docu-
ments relative to information., petitions, memorials,
briefs, and statements connected with the commission. In
doing so he disclaimed any personal feeling towards
the Attorney General, and, after a few remarks expla
natory of the object of his motion, he observed that the
question was one with which he, as a non-legal gentle.
man, was not very intimately acquainted, and he must,
therefore, leave it to be dealt with by hon. gentlemen
more competent to understand it than he. But, at the
same time, the expense to the counrry which it involved
seemed to him to demand some investigation.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he did not
like to oppose motions for returns, but really the returns
asked for by the present motion were so unprecedented,
,and would be so voluminous, that he should not feel that
he was doing his duty to" the house unle-s he afforded
them some information, so as to enable them to see what
was asked for. He was sure that the hon. member who
had brought forward this motion had done so with the
utmost innocence and simplicity, and without having the
slightest idea of what he (the Attorney-General) believed
was the case—that he was made neither more nor less
than the puppet of a discontented solicitor, who had ap-
plied to other members of the house to bring forward the
same motion, but had failed in the attempt. The motion
included twenty-two returns, thegreater pert of which were
already on the shelves of the house, while others could
only be produced at a cost wholly disproportioned to the
value of the information which they would afford. With
regard to the first returns moved for, it was sufficient to
say there were no such orders a' those referred to. The
counsel in question, who acted as the juniors of the At-
torney General in charity matters, were appointed by
him. The same reply might be made in the case of the
solicitors, who were also appointed by the Attorney-
General, as it was right and fit they should be, seeing
that he was responsible for the manner in which they
conducted the business in which they were then engaged.
With retard to the next returns, he Ititi,t inform .the
house that they were the first of a series of covert attacks
on Mr. Fearon, than whom a more valuable officer never
conducted the business of a public departnneet in this or
any other country. No doubt, a number of ex-officio
informations had been filed by the Attorney-General
without the previous recommendation of the Clarity
Commiseioners. But that was sufficiently accounted
tor by the fict that there were no Charity Com-
miesioners in existence from 1839, while there were
numerous cases in which it wag necessary to file
informations, and in which th..y were accord-
ingly filed at the instigation of parties interested in the
charities. In the motion for other returns which fol.

Another detachment of about 30 men and 50 horses
of the 11th Hussars arrived at Plymouth on Monday
afternoon from Exeter, and embarked yesterday on board
the sailing-transport Kent for the Crimea.
About 280 men of the A, B, and C divisions of the
Land Transport Corps, from Horfield, arrived at Ply-

geants, 50 privates, and 200 troop horses, from Brighton,
to embark at Southampton ; 10th (Prince of Wales's)
Royal Hussars, 1 officer, 2 sergeants, and 50 privates,
with 80 troop horses, fiom the cavalry depot, Maidstone,

privates, with 150 troop horses, from Brighton, to em-
bark at Southampton ; the first division-1 maj 3
captains, 4 subalterns, 12 sergeants, and 240 mounted
men, of the 15th Rnyal Hussars, from Exeter, will
embark on board the Kent and the Cllaltn9rs transporta
at Plymouth ; the second division will embark shortly
afterwards, and the head-quarters of the regiment, com-
prising the staff, will follow. It being expected that the
draught for the 12th Lancers will reach the Crimea
before the regiment arrive's from India, the detachment
will do duty with the 17th Lancers in the interim.

II AIWA RKET THEATRE.

We heartily conara'ulate Mr. Bnckstene on the tri-
umphant suc.:ese that has followed his experiment of
producing operas at the Haymarket. From some un-
explained cause our English singers have hitherto
found the doors of the London theatres closed against
them ; and although we can boast of a hand of first-rate
artistes, yet we do not possess an English Opera House.
To remove this anomaly Mr. Buckstone has nobly come
to the rescue—honour to hiss for so doing ; and if the
first eight's performance of opera at the Haymarket can
be taken as a criterion, the speculation will exceed in
success the talented and enterprising lessee's most san-
guine expectations.
Auber's Fres Diavolo was performed last night, by
way of initiating the the musical company, Mr.
Sims Reeves sustaining the principal part ; the other
characters—Lord and Lady Allcash, and Zerlina— being
respectively personated by Mr. Weiss, Mrs. Weiss, and
Mrs. Sima Reeves. Never did Mr. Reeves sing better than
be did last night; and in the famous air, "Young Agnes,'
he fairly electrified the audience. A loud and unani-
mous encore followed ; and the same compliment was
awarded to the long and difficult scena in the last act,
which was one of the most extraordinary displays of
vocal and histrionic powers with which we are acquainted.
Out of consideration to the singer, a re-demand in this
case was not insisted upon, though it was some time
before the gourmands could be satisfied. Mrs. Reeves
made one of the prettiest Zerlinas we have ever seen ;
ber acting and singivg in the second act was all that
could b wished. Mr. Weiss made a good Lord Allcash,
although we think it was a little exaggerated. The ar-
raegements gave evidence of completeness in every
detail. The band played carefully and well ; the chorus
was excellent. a d the miss en scene beautiful. The
audience were highly delighted, and everything went off
with eela', from the commencement of the overture to
the concluding chorus.
The house was crowded in every part. Mr. Buck-
stone, we hi-ar, is bent upon making a strong effort in
his operatic venture. He has several new operas in pre
eardion, one which, by Mr. Smart, report speaks highly.

Ii UPMARKET THEATRE.

We heartily con.Ja'u'ate Mr. Buckstone on the tri-
umphant success that has followed his experiment of'
producing operas at the Haymarket. From some un-
explained cause our Eng!ish singers have hitherto
found the doors of the London theatres closed against
them ; and although we can boast of a rand of first-rate
artistes, yet we do not possess an English Opera House.
To remove this anomaly Mr. Buckstvme has nobly come
to the rescue—honour to him for so doing ; and if the
first night's performance of opera at the Haymarket can
be taken as a criterion, the speculation will exceed in
success the talented and enterprising lessee's most san-
guine expectations.

Auber's Fra Diavolo was performed last night, by
way of initiating the the musical company, Mr.
Sims Reeves sustaining the principal port ; the other
characters--Lord and Lady Alleash, and Zerlina— being
respectively personated by Mr. Weiss, Mrs. Weiss, and
Mrs. Sims Reeves. Never did Mr. Reeves sing better than
he did last night ; and in the famous air, "Young Agnes,"
he fairly electrified the audience. A loud and unani-
mous encore followed ; and the same compliment was
awarded to the long and difficult scenes in the last act,
which was one of the most extraordinary displays of
vocal and histrionic powers with which we are acquainted.
Out of consideration to the singer, a re•demand in this
case was not insisted upon, though it was some time
before the gourmands could be satisfied. Mrs. Reeves
made one of the prettiest Zerlinas we have ever seen ;

STATE OF TRADE.

(From tke Manchester Guardian of this day.)
nle re is a general steadiness of price at the level of
last week, though a slight bias- against sellers may to '
some extent be perceptible. In 20'3 to 30's water twist,
and in some descriptions of warps and pineops. tbe buyer
has rather more of an advantage in making a bargain
than be had, some days back. In moat cloths this seems
to be less the ca,,e than in the yarns just referred to.
Within the last Week certain sorts of jacconets bave met
with free sale en rather improved terms ; and more has
been done also in longcloths of some kinds. The medium
counts of twist and weft for home consumption are in
better request than the middle numbers for the conti-
nent. Some counts of doubled yarns continue to exhibit
an improvement, as do also some of the Bolton spinnings
of 70's and 80's, as well as certain welts from 120's to
140's.

ROCHDALE, APRIL 23.--We had a more steady busi-
ness doing to-day in pieces, and the merchants have
evinced a greater disposition to purchase. There is a
fair demand fur wool, and prices may be quoted a little
firmer.

HALIFAX, APRIL 21.—1 n our Piece Hall to-day, there
has been no improvement in the demand for any
description of worsted goods ; but we learn that,
in the warehote.es, there has been more inquiry.
The merchants, however, manifest considerable reluc-
tance to give such increased prices as will cover the en-
hanced cost of the raw material. Yarns still continue
in fair demand ; and the spinners are asking higher rates,
which are not readily acceded to. There is a bettei sup-
ply of wool in the market; but the spinners purchase
sparingly, as they demur to the late advance in the quo-
tations.
!HUDDERSFIELD, APRIL 24.—The market has been
rather quiet to-day in the Cloth Hall, and in the ware-
houses little has been done compared with a few weeks
back. Fancy woollens and light trouserings seem to be
the articles principally sought after ; and it is to be
hoped that a week or two more of such weather as we
have had lately will create a more extended demand for
them. The wool trade is heavy, but prices keep steady,
and a good feeling prevails.

TELLIGENCE, June 26.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.)
.
BOGUE V. BOUTLEDGE AND CO.
This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the
defendants from publishing or selling any farther copies
of "E6ry Boy's Book," or anything copied or colourably
altered from a work called the "Boy's Own Book," the
property of the plaintiff.
• Mr. Craig and Mr. Reilly were heard in sepport of
the motion.
The defendants denied having committed any infringe-
ment of the plaintiff's copyright, and stated that they
had employed Mr. William Martin, the author or editoreter
of many of the works published under the name of P
Parley; and the Rev. J. G. Wood, M.A., the author of
the well-known work, "The Illustrated Natural Si,'
-tory," and other gentlemen, to write and compile. and
Mr. William Harvey, Mr. Harrison Weir, and
Messrs.
Dalziel to illustrate, the same, at a cost of upwards of
one thousand pounds.
After the plaintiff's counsel had addressed the Cour
for more than three hours, Mr. Bacon rose for the de-
fence, but was stopped by the Vice-Chancellor, svh°
said, in delivering his judgment, that it was impossible
for the plaintiff to claim an exclusive right to publish
works relating to the games and amusements of boys.
The case as to the plaintiff's exclusive right to the °I!"
tents of his- book, had completely failed upon thesev,l",
deuce, and his Honour said that it had been proved
his complete satisfaction that the gentlemen ereploYae'c'i
by the defendants to write "Every Boy's Book, 11.
honestly bestowed their labour in so doing. SoundvieB 11-13.1
possible to say that the Court ought on any prain
ciple to restrain the defendants, until the plaintiff h
established his right at law.
Mr. Bacon—The order will contain also liberty to
apply in case the action is not brought•

aware of the clang. 'roils preponderance the seizure

SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

In consequence of the declaration of Lord Robert
Grosvenor, on Tuesday evening, of his determination to
proceed with his Sunday Trading Bill—a declaration
which has met with unmitigated condemnation—the fol-
lowing placard has been most extensively circulated
throughout the length and breadth of the metropolis to-
day :

"SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

"Lord Robert Grosvenor says you are not respect.
able. He begged to inform the House of (un-Commons)
that since the movement (the demonstration in Hyde-
park) he had received several letters from working men,
in which they spoke of the persons there assembled in
no complimentary language.'.]
"Come, therefore, in your best clothes next Sunday to
Hyde park, and try to look and behave like your betters.
Bring your wives, dressed out like Columbines, and your
sons in round collars and long black sacks. Eat, drink,
ride, 1011, chat, flirt, and be merry, as they do, on Sun-
day next ; for on Monday you must work, and if it
Please the Lords this will be the last Sunday on which
you can perpetrate any of these vile abominations."!
