auction went slowly, a part only of the quantity offered
finding buyers. Brown at 33s to 3's 6.1. low to mid y(l'ow

has been asked, and very little has really been
offered for sale. Privately business has been done in
Bengal and Madras at 2s more duty at auction, while
Benares Bengal was taken in at 37s 6d to 39s for ord to
good, while Porto Rico sold at 2s to 2s 6.1 advance, viz..
at 403 to 423 for fine yellow, at 36s to i9s Fla for other
sorts, and 33s to 35s for brown. Bahia afloat brought 19s
per cwt.- lJnelaved Manilla was taken in publicly at 298

demand at advancing prices, viz , 47s to 47s Gd for brown
lumps, and 48s to 53s for low to fine grocery.
COFFEE.—Holders are firm, and have brought very little
forward for sale. Plantation Ceylon at au.etion realised
668 to 78s for good to fine, 6 s to 65s for mid to good mid,

THE MEDITERRANEAN

MARSEILLES, April 24. —Marseilles for some
days past has presented rather the appearance
of a vast camp than of a great commercial city.
The streets have been crowded with those mag-
nificent troops, the Gendarmerie of the Impe-
rial- Guard, Dragoons, Hussars, Artillery, and
various detachments of Infantry. We are now
relieved by the departure of eight transports on
Saturday, three British steamers and six transports
on Sunday, the mail-packet steamer Thabor and a
large Bremen steamer yesterday, laden with infantry,
cavalry, artillery, and military stores for the army
in the East. The arrivals are nearly as numerous as

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English wheat up to our market this
week have been very moderate, and the show of samples
hero to-day was limited. The amount of business doing
was not to say extensive ; yet, in some instances, prices
were from is to 2s per quarter higher than on Monday,
and a good clearance was effected.
There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for fo-
reign wheat, the show of which was limited, and the quo-
tations were fairly supported. Floating cargoes of grain
were steady, at very full prices.
There was more doing in barley, and grinding-and dis-
tilling sorts were the turn dearer.
Malt changed bands slowly, on former terms.
We had a good consumptive demand for oats, at very
'till prices.
Beans, peas, and flour were held for more money.

THE BALTIC.

The war steamer Driver, with the gun-boats
Pincher and Robert in tow, joined the fleet in Kiel
harbour on the evening of the 22d inst.
Three more English steam corvettes and three
gun-boats passed Copenhagen on the 21st, steering
for the Baltic.
The vessel taken by the Desperate, Captain
White, off Libau, on the 17th inst., and sent into
Memel, is in some accounts mentioned as Miron, in
others as Myran, Captain Kenivieck ; and she is
described to be a Russian schooner from Riga,
bound to Libau from Bornholm with a cargo of
coals. The Desperate came to anchor of Memel in
the morning of the 21st, and sent a boat on shore
with despatches for our Consul there ; she was
last from the roads of Libau, where the Impe-
rieuse and Euryalus had already been some
day" cruising. A notice was that same after-
noon hung up at the Exchange in Memel,
emanating from Admiral Watson, and announcing,
in the names of the Queen of England and the
Emperor of the French, that on the 17th inst. the
strict blockade of the harbour of Libau had been
established by an adequate naval force, and that
the same took place on the 19th with reference to
all Russian harbours, roads, and bays, from 55 deg.
54 min. N. latitude and 21 deg. 5 min. longitude
E. from Greenwich, up to the Fresind lighthouse,
under 58 deg. 25 min. N. latitude and 21 deg. 50
rein, longitude, more especially as regards the har-
bours of Libau, Sackenhausen, Windan, and the
entrance to the Bay of Riga. (In Wyld's chart the
above-mentioned Light is called Filsand Light.)

It is also given as probable that our Cabinet will
renew its proposal relative to the mobilisation o'

THE CONVICT BURANELLL

MEMORIAL TO SIR G. GREY, BARONET, M.P., SECRE-
TARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT, IN
FAVOUR OF LUIGI BURANELLI, PRESENTED APRIL 23,
1855.
We, the undersigned physicians and surgeons, having
carefully examined the evidence hereunto annexed, re-
lative to the case of Luigi Buranelli, now lying in New-
gate under sentence of death for murder, do hereby ex-
press our solemn and matured opinion that the prisoner
was insane at the time he committed the crime.
SVe do further affirm that, had we been consulted on
the evidence now disclosed as to the condition of the
prisoner's mind before the act was perpetrated, we should
have had no hesitation in subjecting him to medical
treatment for mental disease.
We therefore are confident that, had the prisoner been
in a different rank of life, such steps would have been
taken respecting him as would, in all probability, have
prevented the commission of the murder ; and, accord.
ingly, we do earnestly pray that the extreme sentence
of the law may not be carried into execution in the case
of a person whom we believe to have been a lunatic
when he perpetrated the act for which his life has been
declared forfeited.

not change it. It will be folly to wait till the
stimmer is over, till Government has got rid of the
House of Commons, and can laugh from Downing-
street at the people. Mai cover, the House itself
needs awakening. We adverted yesterday to the
disgraceful count-out on two motions of great
national importance. Idlers are not the men for
senators just now ; much less cowards, who dare
notface an honest and urgent motion. Lord JOHN,
with tears, postponed his empty Reform Bill for
the War. It members can do nothing better than
vote away :money and shirk grave questions, the
people must demand their real Reform Bill. Votes
for the many, and the Ballot for all, will be the
war cry at home, as the only means to war in
earnest—war without reckless waste abroad.

The motion about to be made in the House of
Lords calling on Government to declare their in-
tentions in reference to Russian trade through
Prussia this season is by no means uncalled for.
Had we no stronger reason for this opinion than
the surprising ingenuity manifested by Govern-
ment irk blundering, the remarkable tact hitherto
shown by men in office in omitting to do the right
thing—not only at the right time, but also at all,
that would amply suffice. But when we take into
account the experience of last year, when we re-
member what evil results followed from the course
then pursued with regard to Prussia, we are dis-
posed to wonder that the intended motion was not
made before.

At the commencement of the War we were told,
in the most emphatic manner, that the blockade to
be established by our fleet in the Baltic would so pa-
ralyse Russian commerce, that the nobles of that
country whose income was notoriously derived from
the exportation of the produce of their estates,
and the merchants generally, would murmur so
deeply in revolt against the War, as to compel the
CZAR seriously to entertain conditions of peace.
In this faith the public bore with greater pa-
tience the comparative inactivity of the fleet. If
Sir CHARLES NAPIER did not batter down stone
walls, he, at all events, was effecting this desir-
able object. Unfortunately, one or two little
facts were overlooked. The neutral KING of
PRUSSIA was the fast friend of Russia, and his ter-
ritories lay convenient to those of the CZAR. If
CLICQUOT could not fight for his brother-in-law,
he could do better still, he could lend him
important aid, at. no risk, and, what
was still more, profit by it. He could
facilitate the passage of Russian produce
through Prussia, and at the same time fill up the
coffers of the State ; and he did so, the result
being that, in a commercial point of view, the
blockade was rendered useless. Russian merchants
and nobles readily got rid of their goods, and
found themselves almost as well off at the end of
the year as at the beginning. The people of Eng-
land have the satisfaction of knowing that the
mismanagement of their rulers has enriched a
traitorous neutral, and frustrated the main ob-
ject of a costly blockade. Now that the fleet
has returned to the Baltic it is surely high time
some measures were taken with Prussia to check
the evil.

MILITIA.

Yesterday morning, at a general muster of the City
of London Regiment of Militia, a guard of honour, in-
cluding the flank (Grenadier and Light Companies,
numbering 250 well•diseiplined men) was told off to
escort his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French
on Thursday next, when he visits the Guildhall ; a por-
tion of the guard will be posted at Temple-bar, a detach-
ment will proceed with the cortege to the municipal
palace, and the remainder will line the Guildhall-yard
from Gresham-street. It is now uncertain when the
regiment will take garrison duty,
Since the Ist of the month 92 volunteers have joined
the West Essex Militia Corps, which requires 259 Inez
(inclusive of those disembodied) to make up the comple-
ment-843. During the past week the men have re-
ceived their knapsacks, and are now occasionally drilled
in heavy marching order, so as to be in readiness for
duty elsewhere.
The men of the West Kent Light Infantry Militia,
who have availed themselves of the permission to return
to their homes, after completing 56 days' training, con-
tinue daily to return, for the purpose of being re-attested;
15 of the volunteers from the regiment, for the 9th Foot,
have arrived at their quarters in Limerick.

thropy towards the suffering, and his perseveing atten-
tion to the cause of oppressed nationalities, would have
been a better and wiser policy than that which presided,
and still presided over the destinies of the world. (Hear,
hear.) That was not an occasion for dwelling upon
public events, but he was a plain, frank man, and there-
fare he claimed permission to say that it those stirring
events were not sufficient to inspire all admirers of
Lord Dudley Stuart to use all their exertions in
that line of policy with which the noble lord had been
identified for the last 25 years, then he must confess
that any monument raised to his memory would form
a strange contrast to the contemporary history of the
British empire. Considering the noble nature of his
heart and the peculiar leaning of his philanthropy, he
thought that something in the way of public charity
W mld be more appropriate than a statue. Whether it
were an institution for the blind, as Sir B. Hall had
suggested, or an asylum for poor refugees in sickness
and distress—anything to do good for those to whom he
was a father during his life, would prove more acceptable
to his immortal spirit, which might then be hovering
over that assembly, than a statue, which the living
passed by, and for which the dead did not care. M.
Kossuth concluded by expressing his hearty concurrence
in the resolution, which was agreed to.
Mr. DYKE proposed the following resolution :—" That
this meeting is profoundly impressed with the conviction
that services so rare, di,interested, and patriotic, emi-
nently deserve to be commemorated by a becoming public
testimonial ; and that, for the purpose of co-operating
with the committee already formed in order to carry this
object into effect, the fdlowin„,f7 gentlemen be appom ed
committee for the borough of Marvlehone : —Sir B. Hall,
M.P., Lord Ebrington, M.P., William Ecvart, Esq.,
M.P., Captain Prohyn, Messrs. J. Forster, J. B. Kirby,
H. Farrer, C. George,Cooper, W. D. D. Stockton, J.
m.Evely, G. Poland, M. Michell, J. Whitmore, J. A.
Nicholay, W. S. Burton, F. H. Bridgman, E. Hodges,
C. Hickman P. Graham."
Mr. E. lionGEs seconded the resolution, which was
agreed to.
A handsome subscription was then entered into, the
right hon. chairman heading it with 50 guineas.
A vote of thanks having been awarded to Sir B. Hall,
the yroceedings, which were marked by the greatest'
unanimity, terminated.

►STATE OF TRADE.

( Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, April 17.—The quietness naturally en-
suing upon th , late extensive operations in yarns and
certsin descriptions of cloth, has been u, t less observable
to-day than it was at the latter end of last week ; per-
haps, indeed, rather wore so, seeing that the comparison
lies between a market day and ordit.ary days. It is
pretty evident tl4tt political matters are not without in-
fluence. In yarns, the full attainable prices of last week
are reaised to-day ;in some cases, as in 40's mule,
slightly more ; it is, however, found that many spin-
ners, who were asking 11. more than could be got,
are willing to abate the excess. Water twist in
the hank, and some kinds of warps and cops, show
the chalu4e from a state of animation more than
most other sorts of yarns. cloths and lung cloths
continue dull, and are losing value ; the better
dotnesems are qniet, as areal so 7-Bths and 9-Bths printers,
but without 'thy giving way in prices.
HALIF.tx, April 14.—The atteudance in our Piece-hall
to-day has been but slender, and the business done
far from extensive. The improved demand for yarns
continues, and prices are locking upwards. As the
spinners have pretty generally supplied themselves, the
wool market is less active than it was, the quotations
exhibiting considerable firmness.
HUDDERSFIELD, April 17.—There has been little
variation in the market to-day, as compared with that of
last week.
ROCHDALE, April 16. We had r Aber more inquiry
fir pieces to-day, and the merchants seemed more dis-
posed to purchase. There is little or no change in wool,
the demand continues good, and prices very firm.
London, England, 1855-04-18

DUBLIN.

The members of the corporation met on Monday, in
the City-hall, as a committee of the whole house, on the
invitation of the Lord Mayor locum tencns, to consider
upon the propriety of adopting an address to the Empe-
ror of the French on the occasion of his visit to her Ma-
jesty. Being a meeting in committee, the public were
not admitted, but it was understood that a sub-commit-
tee of nine was appointed to prepare an address, which
was subsequently brought up and adopted, on the motion
of Alderman O'Brien seconded by Mr. Wilson. It was
then resolved that the city seal should be affixed to the
address, and that it should be forwarded to the Lord
Mayor, who is at present in London, with a request that
he would take such steps as he might deem necessary for
its presentation in due form.

TESTIMONIAL TO LORD D. STUART.

Yesterday evening a general meeting of inhabitants
of the borough of Maryleboue was held in the Vestry-
hall, to take into consideration the best means of pro-
moting a testimonial to the late Lord Dudley Coutts
Stuart, who for seven years represented that borough in
_ ,

the House of Commons.
Sir B. Hall, Bart., M.P., presided, and was supported
Mr.
by Lord Ebrington, M.P., M. Louis Kossuth, W.
D. Cooper, and other gentlemen.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said—The
noble lord to Whose memory they bad i
assembled to do
honour was so well known in Marylebone that t would
an
be almost unnecessary for him to sayanything in
his praise. He (the chairman) had been seven years
closely acquainted with him. When in town they
saw each other every day, and when in the country
iname subject as
two days never passed without some written com-
munication between them. The noble lord had Very
classes and
ma-
terially assisted him in the representation of the borough;
and as regarded the relations of private life, it might
said of bins that no man was more amiable or thoroughly be
estimable. (Hear.) A meeting on the same subject

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
fequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and messes,
eetich have proauced more misery In Youth, degradation Le Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
ather class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
eirticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
tee health, happiness, and privileges;to which every human being is
e titled .
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
rincipl es of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
se heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
y be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
Lod how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, end above all,
teat there le scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
crangernent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
Che Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
,_active in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have

London, England, 1855-04-18

Sea is the field of battle which we have conquered*
or, if you please, which you have abandoned to us. The
Russian flag can no longer show itself there. . . .
And not only do we occupy the Black Sea : we besiege
Sebastopol ; we are in a fortified position at Kamiesch
and Balaklava. Omer Pacha is entrenched at Rape-
toria ; Odessa is menaced by our fleets." In other
words, the sovereignty of the Crimea and Russia's naval
power in the Black Sea have passed from it, and are not
to be restored. These are not merely the words of a
State paper ; the rupture of negotiations at Vienna, and
the promising opening of the bombardment of Sebasto-
pol, make them realities. It is this uncompromising
attitude assumed by the Emperor of the French that has
obtained for him the enthusiastic welcome he has re-
ceived in England ; and the cordial plaudits which have
rung around him wherever he has passed in our land will
sound like a knell in the ears of the despots of the East,
for they tell them that France and England are one.
The war, however, is not at an end, nor likely soon
to be, whatever the " bulls" of the Stock Exchange may
say. AR we announced months ago, the late Emperc r
of Russia was master of the position, and could have
made peace -at any time ; but the new Empert r
must swim with the tide, and the politically powerful
class in Russia will not relinquish the dreams of national
aggrandisement by conquest, cherished for centuries,
without a desperate strugg'.e. Some words fell from
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the Treainry, on
Monday, which seem to indicate that Ministers are pre-
pared for this protracted ttruggle. He told the influen-
tial gentlemen connected with the money market there
assembled, that Ministers "reserve the power of guaran-
teeing any loan which may be required by a foreign
Government." This cannot be understood as referring
to Sardinia, for its loan is guaranteed. It points to the
secevicn of the Scandinavian Powers, and perhaps of
others, to the alliance against the
aggressive policy of
Russia. The work that has been begun is not to be left
half-ended. We hail these indications with joy ; not
only do they augur well fer the future independence and
peace of Europe, they point to efforts by this country
which it can only make after extensive administrative
reforms.
