SARDINIA.

TURIN, May 7.—The steamers Nubia, Queen of
the South, Jason, Andes, Clyde, and Emeu, and
sailing-transport Harkaway, with as many smaller
sailing-vessels as the steamers can tow, are expected
to leave Genoa this evening. With the departure
of the abovenamed vessels there will have been
8,770 men, 494 officers, and 1,756 horses conveyed
from Genoa in British vessels ; and, consider-
ing the numbers embarked on board the Sardinian
frigates, it may be reckoned that about 10,000
men, 600 officers, and 1,800 horses, have been de-
spatched up to this day.
The vessels remaining in the harbour of Genoa,
belonging to the English Government, are the Im-
perader, Itnperatrice, Niagara, Magdalena, Hy-
daspes, and Indiana, steamers ; Mary Ann, sailing
transport ; Vulcan and Resistance, troop ships ;
and nine sailing vessels, chartered at Genoa.

AUSTRALIA.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 11.

The Black Ball clipper packet-ship, Champion of
the Seas, has arrived with the mails from Melbourne
of the 15th of February. She has brought 340 par-
sengers, 49,718 ounces of gold on freight, and 2,301
bales and bags of wool. _ _

The James Baines arrived at Melbourne on the
12th of February, in 63!2- days from Liverpool.
The Australian despatches do not contain any
political or domestic news of importance. The re-
ports from the mines, generally, were good. At
Ballarat the different lodes were doing,well. New
localities were opened up almost daily. The yield
from the mines was about the usual average.
The Melbourne markets were brisk, in conse-
quence of an increasing trade with the interior.
Prices were generally firmer.
A considerable demand for gold for shipment
had raised the price to 755. and 765., and for large
parcels a shade higher. In exchange on London
draughts on gold were taken at 1 per cent. dis-
count.

The wool-market was dull, and former prices
'were taken. Haudwashed was quoted at 10d. to
ls. 41d.
Freights to London—id. to ld. per lb. for wool,
and for gold 41d. per ounce.
At Sydney a fair amount of business was being
done. The rates for ordinary parcels of goods still
ruled low, but for superior articles good prices were
readily obtained.
The want of confi fence which had for some time
past been experienced was gradually lessening at
Adelaide.
Farm produce was fetching high prices, owing
to the deficiency of the crops, and that of wheat
and flour had been further increased by the de-
mand for the Melbourne market. Flour was
quoted 371. per ton.

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of this clay.)
LEEDS, May 11.—We have had two very good mar-
kets this week. On Saturday, as well as on Tuesday,
there w,as considerable animation in both the Cloth-
hallg. Several of the leading merchants purchased
very spiritedly, and we were not saying too much in
reporting these two markets as two of the best we have
had this year; on each day a large quantity of cloth,
of nearly all kinds suitable fir the present season,
changel owners. There is no change in the state of
trade in the warehouses ; a fair :steady business has been
done during the current week.

. _
ROCHDALE, May 7.---The flannel market has under-
gone very little change these few weeks past. There is
a toletabh demand, considering that it is now the
sla,,kest time of the year for pieces. Low and middle-
priced wools are rather scarce, and the dealers want
more money for them.
HUDDERSFIELD, May S.—We are able to state that
the market to-day was a decided improvement upon our
former reports for some time past. There is also more
doing in the wool department, and manufacturers are
more eagerly looking about them for suitable samples.
HALIFAX, May s.—Nothing new iu the worsted trade
here since last week's report.

CUSTOMS DUTIES BILL.

On the order of the day for the consideration of this bill as
amended,
Mr. BLACKBURN believed that now was the time for him
to move the amendments of which he had given notice. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer had, at the express wish of the
house, undertaken to introduce a schedule to provide that
the duties on sugar should at the end of the war be reduced
to the old rates. The schedule, however, proposed by the
right hon. gentleman did not effect the intended object, for
by a mistake in the arithmetic of the draftsman, 10s. 6d. was
taken for the two-thirds of 155., and the difference between
the duty on yellow Muscovado and that on the quality imme-
diately above was made only is 6d. instead of ls. 9d. His
amendment was intended to correct this mistake. The hon.
member concluded by moving an amended scale.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. said that in
framing the duties for a prospective reduction, he had endea-
voured to bring them as near as possible to the amount at
which they stood before the increased duties consequent ou
the war were imposed. Instead of taking one class with a
duty of 10s., he took two classes, one with a duty of 9s. Gd.,
the ot:ier with a duty of 10s. 6d. That appeared to him a
perfectly equitable adjustment, and he trusted the house
would maintain the scale which ho bad submitted to it.
Mr. T. HANKEY thought that injustice was done by the
right hon. gentleman's scale to the importers of a low descrip-
tion of sugar.
The amendment of Mr. Blackburn was then withdrawn,
and the amendments proposed by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer agreed to.
STAMP DUTIES (DRAFTS ON BANKERS) BILL,
On the' order of the day for the second reading of this bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said as soon as
his proposition for imposing a stamp dutyupon checks drawn
within I distance of 15 miles was made public he received
communications fromtaukers and others, stating various ob-
jections. It was represented that the operation of the duty
would be to discourage to a great extent the banking trade,
by preventing the drawing of checks for small amounts. It
was suggested that it might be desirable to exempt checks
below Si. or 101., but this would produce a very complex
state of the law, and open easy means of evasion. After the
best consideration, and having taken a sufficient margin to
meet any contingent expenditure, he had come to the con-
e union, upon the whole, that, for the present, he would not
persist in his proposition.
The order for the second reading of the bill was accordingly
discharged.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

THE BALTIC, April 29.—The blockade of all the
Russian ports in the Baltic is now fully established
by the frigate squadron, and it has been formally
made known to the different continental Govern-
ments having seaports on its shores. The squadron
is at present cruising off the entrance to the Gulf of
Finland, between the Islands of Tito and Dago; ships
present—The Roperieuse, 51, Capt. Watson (senior
officer); the Arrogant, 47, Capt. Yelverton; the Eury-
alus, 51, Capt. G.Ramsay; Amphio n, 34, Capt. Key;
Tartar, 21, Captain Dunlop ; and the Conflict, 8,
Commander F. T. Brown. Yestorday (the 28th)
the Imperieuse, the Arrogant, and the Conflict
stood into Port Baltic, remained for some hours, and
hove to. A communication took palace, under a flag
of truce, with the Russian authorities relative to the
blockade, and several neutral vee sels lying inside
the Mole were at the same time served with the
notification of its being established. After
leaving Port Baltic the squadron steamed
over to Hango roads, and anchored outside for
the night, and weighed again at 4 a.m this
day. Hango is completely frozen in, and the ice,
to all appearance unbroken, extends to a consider-
able distance outside the forts. This being the
case, there can be no doubt that Sweaborg and
Cronstadt are still closed, as Hango is generally the
first of all the harbours in the Gulf to break up.
No communication, public or private, has yet
reached the frigate squadron from the fleet ; all
that is known of -hem has come by way of Elsi-
nore, several line-of-battle ships having been noti-
fied by telegraph from Nyborg as passing the Belt
about eight days ago. A good deal of sickness
from colds, low fever, and ague prevails in the
frigate squadron."

ITALY.

A letter from Rome, in the Piemonte of Turin
of the 16th, announces that Defelici was executed
there on the day after the Duke and Duchess of
Brabant left the capital. Ile was taken to the
place of execution in a close carriage, escorted
by four gendarmes and half a squadron of dra-
goons, without being accompanied by any monk
or priest. He had refused a confessor at first,
but had sent for his father-in-law, who did not,
however, obey the summons, but sent him word he
would take care of his, the prisoner's family, and
recommended him to fulfil the duties of religion.
This changed Defelici's previous resolution, and
induced him to confess and take the Eucharist.
On arriving at the place of execution, he refused to
have his eyes bandaged, mounted the steps of the
scaffold with firmness, and there received the fatal
stroke without shrinking.

(From the Morning Chronicle of this day. )

Lord Palmerston has succeeded in persuading the House of
Commons to sanction his evasion of the vote of censure. Two
nights of prolonged debate closed some time after two this
morning by a division, in which the Ministerial subterfuge
was adopted by a majority of 289 to 182 votes. The issue
thus accepted, as Mr. Disraeli remarked, is little creditable
to the House generally, and still less so to the Ministers who
have not dared to challenge a direct negative to Mr. Roebuck's
motion, It etands, therefore, upon record that the Felmor.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp

Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-

which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must

RUSSIA.

A letter from a merchant at Odessa, in the
Cologne Gazette, gives a deplorable account of the
Russian troops in Southern Russia. It says :
" The cholera continues to commit such ravages
at Nicolaieff and at Perekop, that it is in con-
templation to break up the camp of reserve at
the former place, and to divide the men
among the surrounding districts. .The convey-
ance of provisions and of troops is attended
with immense difficulty, and these steppes ap•'
pear likely to become a second Dobrudscba for
the Russians. The rays of the sun in these ex-
posed plains have the effect of poisoned arrows,
which kill men and horses en masse. It is almost
impossible to make any use of the militia of South-
ern Russia ; it is badly armed, undisciplined, and
prompt to commit excesses. It was thought that
this force would be employed to garrison small
towns ; and thus relieve the regular troops, but it
was soon found necessary to recal the latter in order
to keep a check over the former, who give great
trouble to the courts-martial."

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 10th states
that the Grand Duko Nicholas had, a few days
before, visited Abo, in order to inspect the fortifi-
cations of the place, and the batteries on the coast,
and that he afterwards returned to the capital.
A letter from Warsaw of the 14th, in the Na-
tional Gazette of Berlin, says :
"Travellers who have arrived here, and whose word
may be relied on, state that the malle-poste which left
this cityjor St. Petersburg on the 11th, was attacked
at abdut seven leagues off, by five Circassians of the
guard of Prince Paskiewitch ; and although the pas-
sengers voluntarily offered to give up their luggage and
money, they were all murdered, with the exception of a
French lady."

The Vahtaren ( Watchman), a Stockholm paper
gives the strength of the Russian forces in Finland
as follows :

Four Grenadier Regiments of 3,200 each
SixGrenadierßegtments of reserve of 2,600 each 15,600
Twenty-two Battalions of the Line, 600 each 13.200
Two Battalions Sharpshooters, 1,000 each 2,000
Three Marine equipages... 3, 000
Ten Field Batteries, 250 each
Cossacks
Sappers .

51,350

The amount of cavalry, irrespective of Cossacks,
is here not mentioned ; the figures given are the
nominal strength of the troops ; the effective
strength would of course be somewhat smaller.
'raking altogether, including the newly-raised
Finish battalions, the whole Russian force in Fin-
land is computed at 50,000 men.

,STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July 19. —The steadiness of the Liver-
pool cotton market induces manufactures and spinners
to ask fuller prices, but whenever there is much firmness
it has a tendency to restrict business. There is a mode-
rate demand for America, and shippers in the India
trade have also been operating rather snore liberally
than of late. The aggregate business, however, has
been hut moderate in amount, and prices are not well
supported.
NOTTINGHAU, July 19.—The lace trade has been dull
this week, with the exception of a few branches, which
have throughout the season been brisk. The trade gene-
rally, however, is considered very quiet.
In the hosiery department there has not been much
done ; a few omen have, however, been received.
Yarns and materials continue firm.

the ann.uncement regarding the interest on India

money market'and the supply is abundant both out of

ance of the continental exchanges, however, seem to in
dicate that some increase of demand is likely soon to be
manifested, although perhaps only for a short period.
