necessary provision for the bills falling due to-mor-
row, the 4th• of the month. Owing to the aug-
mented demand the public are now enabled to nego-
tiate their paper at the Bank of England on terms
nearly as favourable as those required in other
quarters.

ful tone has prevailed in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton.

TRADE 'WITH THE BALTlC.—llaring the past two
nths very extensive exports to the Baltic, espe-
cially to Cronstadt, have been made from the north-eastern
ports, and still continue. The demand has been so consider•
able that several old Tyne colliers have been taken out of the
London trade and sent to the Baltic, hence freights to Lon-
don have been up to between 6s. 6d and 7s. per ton recently.
The principal articles of export to Russia and the Baltic
have been coals, coke, fire bricks, white lead, and in several
instances chemicals.

THE LEEDS MURDERER.—An official intimation
was received at York Castle on Saturday morning,
announcing that the sentence of death passed upon John
Gair at the recent assizes for the murder of Alice Gair,
alias English, at Leeds, had been respited during her Ma-
jesty's pleasure. It will be remembered that the jury who
found Gair guilty recommended him to mercy, on the
ground of the provocaion he had received, and that after he
had cut the woman's throat he inflicted so deep a wound on
his own that his life was despaired of, but that by careful
surgical and medical treatment in the Leeds General Infir-
mary he so far recovered as to be able to take his trial at
assizes in July. In all probability the capital sentence
will be mitigated into penal servitude for the remainder of
the convict's life.

THE CURTAINIjSIII S
tains the following from a Paris correspondent :—"' La Vie
de Cesar, par Louis Napoleon,' is printing at this moment.
There can be no further doubt about it ; and I am in posses-
sion of information from the Imperial printing office to the
effect that a first impression, consisting of one hundred
copies, has been struck off, in which the necessary altera-
tions are being made at this time. Workmen have been
selected for this purpose who have been employed in the
office for many years ; and they have been told that on the
slightest indiscretion on their part they will lose their places.
After the printing of each leaf in quarto every form is se-
cured with three chains and three locks, the keys of which
M. Petitin, the director of the printing office, takes with him.
As soon as the printing is completed, the sheets are taken
into the emperor's cabinet; then the cellaborateurs set to
work correcting the press, or altering such passages as the
emperor wishes to see redone. You see that measures are
pretty well taken against any information reaching foreign
papers—a subject of great dread with the author. The
work, it is further said, will appear in a few months, and in
two editions—one printed at the imperial printing-office, the.
other at Pion,"
