heed the warning, and give before the coveted boon
is wrested from him by the strength of an uproused
and indignant people, supported by the moral force
of the civilised world.

There were some vague reports in the Stock
Exchange yesterday of a new loan for Canada being in con-
templation, but they are believed to be totally without
foundation. The state of the provincial Treasury gives no
ground for them.

Reports continue to circulate of the probability
of a new Russian loan, but they have not assumed any de-
finite shape. According to some opinions, it is to be for a
nominal amount of £10,000,000 or £11,000,000 sterling.
The recent remittances of gold from St. Petersburg have
been in connection with the payment of the dividend on the
4 per Cent. circular notes or bonds issued by the State
Bank.

The advices from Buenos Ayres to-day state that
the present packet brings £30,000 on account of the next
dividend. Political affairs continued with a very favourable
appearance. The greater part of the " Garde National"
employed in the late victorious campaign had returned to
Buenos Ayres and had been sent to their homes, but
Rosario and Sante Fe would continue to be milita! ily occu-
pied by Buenos Ayrean troops until the organisation of the
new national Government. General Urquiza remains for
the present at the head of the province of Entre Rios, hav-
ing submitted to all the just claims made by General Mitre
regarding national property and other points. Many per-
sons, however, doubted if he would find it practicable long
to maintain that position.

HANDSOME PRESENTATION TO A SHIP CAPTAIN.
—Yesterday the Thames and Mersey Marine Insurance
Company, through their Secretary, presented a handsome
telescope and £lOO to Capt. Williams, of the Imogene, as a
mark of their approval of his conduct in rescuing, in July
last, the distressed crew of the brigantine Recompense, to-
gether with the widow of the captain of the brigantine, who
had been washed overboard and drowned. Captain Wil •
Hams having fallen in with the Recompense, in a very dis-
tressed condition, sent his mate on board and relieved the
crew, who eventually took the brigantine into Queenstown.
The Recompense, which had a valuable cargo on board,
was insured by the Thames and Mersey Company. Captain
Williams is well known for his humanity and bravely, and
had previously been presented for a similar act with a gold
chronometer by the President of the United States.
A prospectus has been issued of an undertaking
which has been contemplated for some time past, to be
called the London Sufferance Wharf Company. The pro-
posed capital is £300,000 in shares of £lO each, and the ob-
ject is to erect a sufferance wharf and bonded warehouses on
the north bank of the Thames on a site of about 26 acres,
having a river frontage of 1,000 feet near the Victoria
Docks, and in direct communication with the North-
Western, Great Northern, Midland, Eastern Counties, and
Blackwall Railways, The warehouseg will be detached so
as to promote the classification of goods, and obviate the
danger of fire, and to secure in consequence an important
reduction in the rates of insurance. The board of directors
is respectably constituted.
WEST INDIA LOANS.—The annual account laid
before Parliament shows that of the sums advanced, under
the act of 1843, for granting relief to some of the West
India Islands, Antigua has repaid £70,000, leaving £30,000
still due; Montserratt has repaid £8,049 of £23,000, and
Nevis £7,160 of £12,000. Under the act of 1848, for grant-
ing relief to the island of Tobago, and aiding British
Guiana and Trinidad in raising money for the promotion
of immigration, Tobago received £20,000, and has repaid
all but £7,831; Trinidad has repaid £26,000 of £64,073 ;
British Guiana has received £70,000, and repaid no part of
the principal. _ _

The suspension has been announced of Alderman
Sir Henry Muggeridge, representing the firm of Sir Henry
and Edward Muggeridge, cornfactors. No expectation of
the event had been entertained until within the past two or
three weeks, strong statements of solvency having been
made up to a late period, and the most conflicting opinions
are now expressed regarding the prospects of the unsecured
creditors. The.total claims covered and uncovered are esti-
mated at about £150,000 or £200,000. The accounts, it is
feared, are in a very confused state, and the general im-
pression seems to be that the result will prove unfavourable.
Sir Henry was an unsuccessful candidate last November
for the Mayoralty, for which dignity he was the next in
rotation. He was also one of the founders and a director
of the Bank of London, but he has resigned his seat at that
establishment.

THE STOCK or COTTON.—The movement of cot-
ton at Liverpool since the commencement of the present
year discloses very remarkable results, as will be readily
seen on an examination of the annexed figures showing
the weekly fluctuations of the stock :-

The sfdElt held at the close of last month amounted there
fore to only about 53 per cent, of the quantity on hand at
the corresponding period of 1861. The quantity of Ameri-
can was reduced to 170,880 bales as compared with 693,540
bales last year; and while 387,000 bales were last year at
this date on their way to Liverpool, this year there are only
a few chance waifs and strays en route, To the end of Feb-
ruary only 125,321 bales have come to hand this year from
all sources, against 648,399 bales in January and February,
1861. Facts such as these demonstrate the severity and
gravity of the present crisis.
THE COAL TRADE.--The coal supply to the metro-
polis, both by rail and water, still continues depressed, and
for the two months ending Peb. 28 the tonnage entered by
railway was 240,081 tons Bcwt, against 285,509 tons for the
corresponding period, showing a decrease of 45,427 tons
12ewt. Sea-borne coal shows a diminution of 1,786 tons,
as also do the canals. The following quantities were brought
up by the respective railways named during the month of
February, viz. :—London and North Western, 49,542 tons
3cwt ; Great Northern, 33,972 tons newt ; Eastern Coun-
ties, 12,582 tons 19cwt ; Great Western, 6,964 tons; Mid-
land, 6,912 tons ; London, Tilbury, and Southend, 54 tons;
total, 109,027 tons 19ewt ; corresponding month last year,
148,608 tons 16cwt ; decrease on the month, 39,580 tons
17ewt. The sea-borne coal has been entered as follows :
From Newcastle, 119,728 tons; from Sunderland, 98,897
tons; from Hartlepool, 74,046 tons; from Wales, 10,993
tons; from Yorkshire, 3,176 tons; from Seaham, 12,966
tons ; from other sources, 13,864 tons ; total, 336,664 tons.
The quantity entered from Hartlepool, as contrasted with
last February's tonnage, shows an increase of 100 per cent.,
but for this the sea-borne tonnage would have declined con-
siderably mofe.
LIBERATION OF MR. WILLIAM BEWICKE, of
TIIREEPWOOD.—The public will learn with the greatest
satisfaction that Mr. William Bewicke, of Threepwood,
who has been for upwards of a year suffering from the
effects of a vile, cruel, and too successful conspiracy, was
liberated from prison on Tuesday. Mr. Bewicke had been
taken back to Newcastle Gaol at the close of his evidence
against his wicked accusers; and at a few minutes after
one o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the governor of the gaol
received from the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment an order for his immediate release. It is hardly
necessary to state that the order was at once acted upon,
and ➢lr. Bewicke left the prison in a cab. He proceeded
immediately by train from the Central Station to Threep-
wood Hall, where he was received with great manifesta-
tions of gladness, there being a large concourse of people,
with bands of music and banners, to welcome him as he
left the train.—E4 eweastle Journal.
THE NORTH RIDING ELECTION.—Capt. Wors-
ley, of Hovingham, has issued an address to the electors of
the North Riding, in which he says :—As a Conservative
I am resolved to stand by our constitutional land marks,
even though Ministerial Conservatives, dragged on by
ultra-Liberal support, were ready to remove them. As a
Reformer, I am prepared to strike at real abuses, though
protected by so-called Liberals. I am prepared to vote
according to my conscience, for whatever tends to the good
of my country, without reference to personal ambition or
party schemes. When I call myself an independent
Liberal Conservative, I mean the thorough English mean-
ing of those three words. lam more a Conservative than
a Reformer, because now a days, thank Heaven, an Eng-
rshman has far more to be proud of and uphold than to
complain of. My independence will be founded upon
yours. If, as I believe, my opinions are in accord with
those of the greatest part of the constituency, I shall well
acquit myself of my duty to you by following my own con-
science. Thus, it was your late lamented member earned
your love and confidence; and that I may attain by the
same course to the same end is the highest ambition of my
life.
