Cloverseed is in moderate request, and prices rule very
firm. Linseed and rapeseed are held at extreme rates.
Other seeds are a slow sale. For cakes there is a steady
demand, and previous quotations are well supported.

TILE PUNISHMENT OF RAPE.

_ .
The Earl of WESTMEATH begged to lay upon the
table a bill to amend the law with respect to the punishment
of rape. The noble earl said he had on a former occasion
endeavoured to bring in a bill for the same purpose, but he
had been prevented by a very narrow majority of their
lordships from proceeding with so salutory a measure. The

law, as it at present dieted, was not at all sufficient
to afford adequate protection to women. The first
object of his bill, therefore, was, that where wore than
one person was concerned pall() whipping should be
inflicted on the participators in such an abominable offence.
The bill was read a first time.
TILE KER'I'CII PRIZE MONEY.

Lord CHELMSFORD rose to put a question to the
First Lord of the Admiralty with respect to the distribution
of the Parliamentary grant amongst flag officers in the fleet
employed in the expedition t) Kerteh and Yenikale in 1855.
The noble lord cited the method of alloting prize money,
but the money divided under the warrant in the present
case was not to be looked upon as ordinary prize money.
The usual flag share in the case was £2,856, to which Lord
Lyons would have been entitled to two-thirds, and Sir
Houston Stewart to one-third, but the Admiralty
had given £1,428 to Lord Lyons and the remaining
moiety had been divided between Admirals Sir Houston
Stewart, Boxer, Sir M. Stopford, and Bray, but the lest
three gallant officers had not been engaged in the expedi-
tion, and therefore were not entitled to participate. In the
present instance, it appeared to him that, according to the
distribution made, Lord Lyons had been deprived of £457,
and Admiral Stewart of £595. Ile wished to know whether
the opinion of the law officers had been consulted before the
money was paid.
The Duke of SOMERSET maintained that the money
had been distributed in accordance with the naval service
and her Majesty's proclamation issued on March
29, 1854. Many other distributions, which the noble lord
recapitulated, had been made on aocount of captures made
in the years 1864 55 to officers in command on the station,
and not the slightest discontent had been evinced. The
directions of the Royal warrant were quite clear, and there-
fore the Admiralty had but one duty to do, and that was to
divide the money in accordance with it. An instance had
occurred in the year 1855, in which a capture had been
mad. in the Bieck Sea, when one of the Officers who parti-
cipated was at Malta and 'millet at Constantinople. He
did not consult the law dicers of the Crown before he dis-
tributed the money, but he was guided ky the practice of
the Admiralty.

GLASGOW AND SOUHI-WESTERN.

The report of the directors of this company states that
the total amount expended on capital account during the
past half-year was £20,929, making with the amount previ-
ously expended £1,748,803, and £223,121 invested in the
shares of other companies; total £4,969,924. In addition
to the ordinary maintenance of the line £11,070 had been
expended on the renewal of the permanent way since July
31 last, and the directors have debited revenue with £14,030,
which would reduce the balance outstanding on that account
to £12,681. Tne average rate of interest on the debenture
stock was now reduced to £3 18s 101 d per cent. The
Kirkcudbright Raiway was opened for goods and mineral
traffic on Feb. 17, Some requirements of the Government
Inspector had yet to be cc mplied with, and the passenger
train service would commence when the requisite authority
was received. The Bridge of Weir Railway would be opened
for traffic in the course of the present month. During the
past half-year the receipts were £11,625 in excess of those
for the corresponding period of the preceding year, includ-
ing £3,982 for passenger traffic. The total receipts on re-
venue account for the half-year ending Jan,3l amounted to
£230,595, and the working expenses to £110,632, including
£14,000 for renewals, leaving a balance of £113,993. To
this was added £1,086 from the previous half-year, making
£121,079. From this £43,284 was deducted for interest on
loans and dividend on guaranteed stocks, leaving £77,796
available for dividend on ordinary stock, which the direc-
tors recommended should be at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, payable on the 24th inst., leaving a balance £3,655
to the credit of the next account. The traffic receipts per
train mile were for passengers 3s 94d, and for goods and
minerals 4s ; and the expenses Is sid and is bid respec-

FATAL ALPINE EXCITBSION,

On Sunday morning, Feb. 28, a young Russian gentle,
man, M. B-, and an English friend, Mr. G-, set out
on an Alpine ascent of some difficulty. Accompanied by
four guiaes, and well provided with all the necessaries for
a similar excursion, they left Sion at 2 o'clock a.m., and
proceeded to a village called Arden, whence they com-
menced the ascension of the Dent d'Ardon.
Owing to the heat of the sun and under the influence of
the warm wind which prevailed the snow was exceedink7ll
soft, and on nearing the summit it became almost impossible
to advance. Still persevering, however, in their hazardous
enterprise, the travellers waded, so to say, through the
yielding snow, when suddenly the mass on which they were
gave way and dashed down the side of the mountain with
fearful velocity. At the time of the accident all were pro-,
prly attached by a new rope, made on purpose for the;
ascent. Ia some unaccountable manner the rope snapped
in two places during the descent, so that when the
avalanche reached the valley below, after a slide of 600
metres (or 1,800 feet), the travellers were no longer roped
together. The two gentlemen and one of the guides were
entirely buried in the snow, another guide partly so, and
the only two uninjured were the remaining guides, who
were attached to the two ends of the rope.
Notwithstanding the most heroic efforts of these two
men, only two of the party could be got out in time to save
their lives. Mr. B- was found dead in a recumbent
position, with his head downwards, and it was only after
two days' continued search that the missing guide's body
was found.

This sad affair has thrown a gloom over the surrounding
neighbourhood, and those who knew Mr. B- will long
remember the deep impression that his untimely fate has
left behind,

The funeral took place on the 3d inst., at Lausanne, la
the Ouchy burial ground.
It is but right to add that the inhabitants of the Valais.
took the most kindly interest in the affair, and had it not
been for their prompt and eager assistaece the bodies of the
unfortunate sufferers would most likely still have beet-
where they were buried alive.

THE FEDERAL DIET.
FRANKFORT, MARCH 5.

The vote upon the motion of Hanover, brought
forward at the sitting of the 3d inst., will be taken
in a week. The motion is to the effect that the
Danish Government be summoned to surrender the
German ships upon which embargo has been laid
within a fortnight, under penalty of the Federation
declaring war.
The rifle club at Westeraas has addressed an in-
quiry to that of Stockholm, asking if each rifle
association throughout the country cannot furnish
volunteers to form a battalion under the orders of a
special commandant. The costs should be divided
among the clubs, and the battalion placed at the
disposition of the Danish Government. Previous
to taking further steps, it was thought advisable to
lay the project before the Minister of War, who re-
plied that any such proceeding would be a flagrant
breach of neutrality.

The recall of Count Hamilton from Copenhagen
has produced a great sensation here.

HAMBURG, MARcEr 7.

Letters received here from Copenhagen state that
the civic artillerymen have been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness, in case of need, to serve
the guns of the forts which protect the town on
the sea-side. They are also to prepare to occupy
the outer fort of the citadel, which dominates the
Sound in a northerly direction as far as Charlotten.

SHIPWRECKS,

- 4-- -
CARNSORE, CO. WEXFORD.
Saturday Night.
At a late hour yesterday morning (reports Dr.
Waddy) intelligence was received of a large vessel
being ashore on the Long Bank, about seven or
eight N.N.E. of this place. The weather was very
thick, and rainy, and the wind was blowing fresh

from S.S.E. The lifeboat of the National Institu-
tion, stationed at Carsore, was at once launched,
and proceeded to the scene of the wreck, and arrived
there about noon, after having passed through some
very high seas, particularly off Greenore Point, and
the south end of the Long Bank. The vessel had
British colours flying, and the lifeboat ran close to
her through a tremendously heavy sea which
was breaking over the ship half-mast high.

On arriving alongside she was found to
be abandoned. It was impossible for the boat
to rEturn to her station, directly against the

sea, wind, and flood tide, and she was accord
ingly beached at Whitehouse. The surf here was

very heavy, but the landing was safely performed,
with the loss of a boathook only. The wrecked

vessel proved to be the ship Desert Flower, of and
from Liverpool to Calcutta, with 2,000 tons of coals

on board. The crew, consisting of 27 men, had

managed to reach the shore in theirown boats, with
the exception of the chief mate and carpenter, who

were unfortunately drowned while leaving the ship

This lifeboat, which was the gift of a benevolent
lady to the National Institution, was instrumental
about two years since in rescuing 19 persons from
the wrecked barque Guyana, of Glasgow.
KINGSGATE, Sunday Night.
_

The following is the report of the coxswain o
the Kingsgate lifeboat belonging to the National
Lifeboat Institution :

s' About 9 p.m. on the night of the sth inst., the
Coastguardman on duty saw a vessel ashore on
Whiteness rocks. It was then blowing strongly
E.N.E., with a heavy surf on the shore, very thick
fog and very dark, with rain. On the first intima-
tion being given to me, I sent for horses and took

the lifeboat to Jose Gap, manned her with Coast-
guardmen, and proceeded to the vessel, which proved
to be the smack Ann and Elizabeth, of Whitstable,
from Shoreham, bound to Whitetable, with oysters.
When we arrived alongside,
the vessel's crew refused
to leave her, as the tide was ebbing, and they
considered that they were in no immediate danger.
Some time afterwards the vessel dried, and the
master of the vessel waked on shore. The number
of the crew, including master, was six men. I left
two of the lifeboat's crew on board, and we
returned to Kingegate Bay with the boat a short
time after midnight, wet through. The lifeboat
behaved very well on the occasion. The smack has
not gone to pieces, but I don't know what damage
she sustained this high tide, as there is a heavy sea
on the rock while lam writing.—I am, &c.
" JAMES DEARMAN, Coxswain.

the Kingsgaie Branch of the National

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1864.

The closing paragraph of this last letter lof
4' Manhattan's" should be turned to, as really worth
looking at, it is so distinctly suggestive within a
very brief compass of the actual position occupied
in the world's eye by the Federal Government.
" We have
news," quoth this rough-and. ready re-
porter of events, writing hot-and-hot from New
York, "We have news this morning of the fighting
of half a dozen battles.

with great loss at Grand Pass, 35 miles from
Mobile." Of the relativs value of these two contra-
dictory announcements we can readily en ough judge
for ourselns. Between them, we can find a clue to
the truth from past experience. The credence attached
to flourishing accounts of victories, coming, under
the most dubious circumstances, from the sideof the
Federals, we should suppose was by this time small
enough in England. In regard to their systematic
accounts of success upon success, the Federal
Government has, in truth, long since fairly over-
