and its great allied people to be tied for ever to
Lord JOHN'S tail ? Is it really come to that pass
that the man who nearly committed us to a most
ignominious and barren peace is to be the
determiner of our future policy ? We are
confident that the country will not
consent to be sacrificed to the self-con-
ceited crotchets of one of the most perverse
of men ;—for such Lord JOHN is when once he
has had the ill-luck to drop some remark, or utter
some taunt which has seriously annoyed all those
with whom he should act. The confession is
universal that the Four Points are vanished into
history ; and that we are not under the shadow
of even an honourable obligation to think of them
again. Indeed the refusal of them by Russia has
procured the avowal from some who once thought
otherwise, that the War must now be prosecuted
till Russia herself sues for peace. The ambitious
State which could refuse such an offer can never
reftive an offer again. She must make one. And
the terms must be—losing for ever all she has
lost,—indemnity—and cessation of conquest. If
she continue the War till a free Poland can be in-
cluded in the just term, so much the better.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed with a quiet appearance, but at firm prices.
The sales of the week amounted to 38,710 bales.
The committee of brokers quote Orleans at 7id.,
Mobile at 7d., and Uplands at 7d. per lb. The
Railway Share Market closed steadily, without any
peculiar feature.
The large weekly augmentation in the amount
of the precious metals held by the Bank of England
was arrested up to Saturday last, when the addi-
tion only reached 25,0441. We still believe, how-
ever, that future returns will show an increase
greater than this, if not so large as that of some
former occasions. The diminution in the deposits
would cause bullion to be taken away. It appears
by this account that there was again a failing off
in the discounts. Compared with the previous
week, the changes are these :-

Yesterday afternoon the rates for Bills of Ex-
change drawn here upon the principal Continental
cities were generally higher, and it may be con-
cluded that the recent shipments of gold have
turned the balance more decidedly in our favour.
Paris, 90 days, was taken at 25 32-1,- to 37k, Am-
sterdam at 11 191 to 191, Hamburgh at 13 61 to
61, Frankfort at 118,to 1182, and Trieste 12 21
to 24.

The exports of the precious metals during the
week to Thursday last from London direct, com-
prised 84,900 ounces of silver, and 1,710 of gold,
all to the continent.

To-day the Stock Exchange closed officially at
one o'clock for the first time, and business finally
closes at two.

The English Stock Market has presented no
feature of particular interest to-day, owing to the
paucity of businesss and the absence of any im-
portant intelligence. Consols have remained at
911 =a all day. The Omnium was 4/ and 5 premium.
Exchequer Bills were Ms. to 20s. premium, and
India Bonds 295. premium. Bank Stock closed at
210. The New 3 per Cents. were 921 1.
The business in the Foreign Market has com-
prised
about half a dozen transactions only, and
the alteration in values has not been of importance
generally. Turkish Bonds, however, further re-
ceded, being 314 to 81-1. Spanish Deferred brought
811, and Belgian 41 per Cents. 93. Dutch 4 per
Cents. were fiat at 91.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6& to 7; Mexi-
can, 211 to 211 ; Peruvian, 68 to 70; ditto Three
per Cents., 48 to 50 ; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
44 to 46 ; Russian Five per Cents., 99 to 101 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 89 to 91 ;
Spanish New Deferred, 18z to 19 ; Ditto 3 per
Cents., 381 to 39 ; Ditto Certificates, 4 to 421 ;
Ditto Passive, 4 to 41.
Lae dealings in Railway Shares, both English
and foreign, have been extremely inactive, and
the quotations have been lower in some cases.
Caledonian declined Sc., Lancashire and Yorkshire
55., North British 10s., and South-Eastern 105.
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, however,
rose ss. Grand Trunk of Canada ruled steady,
but Great Western of Canada were heavy. The
French lines were mostly nominal.

FIRING ON A FLAG OF TRUCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIII,-With reference to the inhuman act committed
by the Russians at Hangoe, in firing at the Cossack's
boat, as given in this morning's papers, I would suggest
the propriety of instructions being immediately sent to
Admiral Dundas, directing him to send a written notice
to all Russian stations in the Baltic—that their acts be-
ing those of the most savage barbarians, they cannot be
granted the usages of civilised nations ; and that after
such a date (say let July) no flags of truce can be re•
ceived from them, as ours are not received as such by
them.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
June 16. A CAPTAIN, R.N.

MORLVING VISIT OF H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT
AND THE PRINCE OF WALES AND PRINCE
EDWARD TO CREMORNE.

Three ceclock is the usual hour for opening this in-
creasingly-popular place of amusement, but yesterday the
regulation w as anticipated by some hours in consequence
of a Royal donald for a morning promenade. It may
naturally be supposed that so unlooked-for an honour
caused no little commotion in the domain of Cremorne.
The proprietor Eavicg been ushered into the august
presence, his Royal Highness briefly, but most kindly,
expressed his wish to see a public property about
which he had beard so much ; and: without further
delay, followed Mr. Simpson to the most interest-
ing features in the grounds, making most minute in-
quiries as he proceeded. Burns's Cottage group was
first admired and commented on ; the Temple of
Mahomet and its uses described ; the Model of
Sebastopol examined, and the huge tent of Thursday's
flower show walked into. Then the rhododendrons were
caught sight of, the bee-house inquired into, the air guns
tried, the Prince of Wales killing his bare, while the
Prince Edward missed his mark. From this point the
Royal party retraced their steps, and crossed to the es-
planade, where the Princes were much struck with St.
George and the Dragon, and expressed their surprise at
the weight of the cannon Felix Napoli so easily wields.
On their return Mr. Simpson explained the uses and in-
tentions of the illuminative arch, which his Royal High-
ness expressed his admiration of ; and having graciously
signifiied his intention of paying an evening visit very
shortly, and having repeated generally the pleasure he
had before expressed particularly, he took his leave most
graciously.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and
Prince Edward appeared highly delighted with the pro-
mise given to be allowed to repeat the visit.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.—We believe it is a well-known
fact, that since the publication of the plan of the new
Mining Exchange there has been a very great increase
in country orders for shares, and also in general mining
business, anti to such an extent that before long it will
be difficult to buy first-class dividend mines to pay more
than 10 or 15 per cent. ; and the consequence will be a
greater demand fit shares in good progressive mines,
verging on a dividend state. This week the business
transacted has been exceedingly large in almost every
description of stock, though dividend mines are the
greatest favourites. The Gold Mining Share market has
shown signs of improveLnent during the week. Noveau
Modes were in demand yesterday at to s ; Port-Phi-
lip, ; and Waller, In Foreign Mines a fair
amount of business was transacted yesterday.—Mining
