A man, named Suratt, who suddenly disappeared
from his home in Washington has been suspected
of being the assassin of Mr. Seward. The female
members of his family were arrested on Monday
night. While the officers were in his house, a man,
disguised and covered with mud, entered, and was
also seized. Upon being confronted by Major
Seward and the domestics he was at once recognised
by them as the one who made the assault.
Many other arrests have been made in Washing-
ton ; among them a number of the employes of
Ford's Theatre.
Therehave also been arrests at Baltimore and Fo-
rtress Monroe—one of whom confessed that he was
privy to a plot to kidnap, but not to murder, the
President, and convey him to the South as a

hostage.
It is reported that it has been discovered that the
plot for the assassination of Friday night included
the Vice-President, General Grant, and every
member of the Cabinet.
The Washington Republican states that ex-Mayor
Mayo, Judge Campbell, and all the Confederate
officers on parole in Richmond have been arrested,
and will be held prisoners pending the investigation
of the circumstances of the murder of the President.
-No confirmation of the reported surrender of
Johnston.

President Johnson, in a speech to a delegation
from Illinois yesterday, reiterated the sentiment
that treason is the greatest of all crimes, and must
be punished as such.

PROSPECTIJS.

This Company is formed for the purpose of transacting
the safe and highly profitable business of Commission Mer-
chants and Financial Agents in connexion with the Trade
and Commerce of the Ottoman Empire.
TRADE OF THE EMPIRE.

Throughout the greater part of the Empire the soil and
climate permit of the almost inexhaustible production, in
excess of the wants of the inhabitants, of those ordinary
raw materials which form everywhere the great staples of
food and manufacture. Grain, wool, cotton, hemp, hides,
tallow,• are produced in abundance ; while in addition,
Turkey yields in profusion those rarer articles of mer-
chandise, such as drugs, dyes, gums, fruit, vegetable oils,
silk, sugar, and tobacco, which can only be abundantly
and profitably produced under conditions of special advan-
tage of climate and geographical position.
In the year 1860 it was estimated that the annual trade
of Turkey with foreign countriesamounted to £48,000,000,
and that between the Provinces to £20,000,000 ; giving a
total of £68,000,000 per annum. Judging, however, from
the increase of the trade between Turkey and Great Bri-
tain during the past few years, this total must now be con-
siderably increased. In the year 1854 the imports and
exports between Great Britain and Turkey (exclusive of
Egypt) amounted to £6,251,131, and in 1859 to £9,620,536
—but in the year 1863, according to the last annual state-
ment published by the Board of Trade, they increased to
£13,303,682. The trade between this country and Egypt
has also risen from £11,118,922 in the year 1859, and
£10,796,971 in 1861, to £21,006,964 in 1863, making a total
between the Ottoman Empire and Great Britain alone of
£34,310,646. This increasing trade is capable of almost
indefinite extension.

Proclamation of Jefferson Davis,

The following is the text of the proclamation of
Jefferson Davis, dated Danville, April 5 :
" The General-in-Chief found it necessary to make such
movements of his troops as to uncover the capital. It would
be unwise to conceal the moral and material injury to our
cause resulting from the occupation of our capital by the
enemy; it is equally unwise and unworthy of us to allow
our own energies to falter and our efforts to become relaxed
under reverses, however calamitous they may be. For many
months the largest and finest army of the Confederacy, under
the command of a leader whose presence inspires equal con-
fidence in the troops and the people, has been greatly tram-
melled by the necessity of keeping constant watch over the
approach to their capital, and has been forced to forego
more than one opportunity for promising enterprises. It
is for us, my countrymen, to show by our bearing under
reverses how wretched has been the self-deception of those
who have believed us less able to endure misfortune with
fortitude than to encounter danger with courage. We
have now entered on a new phase of the struggle. Re-
lieved from the necessity of guarding particular points,
our army;will be free to move from point to point, to strike
the enemy in detail far from his base. Let us but will it
and we are free. Animated by that confidence in your spirit
and fortitude which has never yet failed me, I announce
to you, fellow-countrymen, that it is my purpose to
maintain your cause with my whole heart and soul, and
I will never consent to abandon to the enemy one foot
of the soil of any one of the States of the Confederacy.
That Virginia, noble State ! whose ancient renown has
been eclipsed by her still more glorious recent history ;
whose bosom has been bared to receive the main shock of
this war; whose sons and daughters have exhibitedheroism
so sublime as to render her illustrious in all time to come ;
that Virginia, with the help of the people and the blessings
of Providence, shall be held and defended, and no peace
ever made with the infamous invaders of our homes by the
sacrifice of any of her rights of territory. If by the stress
of numbers we should ever be compelled to a temporary
withdrawal from her limits or those of any other border
State, again and again we will return until the baffled and
exhausted enemy shall abandon in despair his endless and
impossible task of making slaves•of a people, resolved to be
free. Let us then not despond, my countrymen, but, rely-
ing on God, let us meet the foe with fresh defiance, and with
unconquered and unconquerable hearts.

"JEFFERSON DAVIS."

other spoils from the East won, so to speak, at his
elbow, during the course of his recent Oriental wan-
derings by a student of art inheriting from him more
than merely an honoured name in that same art of
his—ex. gr. No. 495, " Sundown," with its purpling
violet clouds, as sketched in the desert, by 'W. V.
Herbert, junior. The briny blue-green seawater
pictures—coast views all of them—by J. L. Hook,
still win for themselves the admiration of the dis-
cerning. Thomas Webster has in No. 77, " Village
Gossips," a notable group that looks for all the world
like a scene from the " /dill on the Floss." So true it
is to provincial women and their small-talk—and in
No. 87 "My Back Kitchen" opens up to view a cool
delightful homely perspective of an interior through
an interior. Frost's, No. 107, " Death of Adonis"
only recalls unsatisfactorily/to mind the days when
his graceful pencil depicted upon a scale and in a
manner worthier of himself, the sylvan revelries of
the old poetical mythology. Between ?oole's con-
tributions to the Academy Exhibition this season,
commend us far rather to the lovely moonlit scene of
farewell, No. 263, "The Parting Moment," with that
clinging kiss of the sundering and saddened lovers
on the shingly-shore, than to the ghastly represen-
tation of (No. 162) " A Suburb of the Roman City
of Pompeii," a picture that by its distortion and
general extravagance can hardly be deemed worthy
of the painter of Solomon Eagle in the Plague of
London. Ward's No. 258, " The Night of Rizzio's
Murder," Philip's No. 156, " The Early Career of
Murillo," Faed's No. 150, " The Last of his Clan"—
the first of the three haunting us long afterwards
with its glittering eyes, the last with the world of
anguish visible in the old man's face, and in the
bent head of the daughter by his side, are among
the most remarkable pictures in this year's collec-
tion. So likewise, most assuredly, is Goodall's
No. 8, "The Rising of the Nile," with its vicious
looking camel's head getting soundly switched
into obedience. Enough, however, has here been
said in regard to what we have deemed to be
the .more salient points in this unusually brilliant
collection of more than a thousand works of art,
in sculpture and in painting, works so very
variously of the latter kind—scriptural, historica
genre, portrait, landscape.

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1865.

The Courts of Justice Building Rill was read a
second time last night in the House of Lords.
The Lord
Chancellor, in proposing the second
reading, observed that there had seldom been a
measure of legal reform of greater importance before
the House. There was great truth in his lordship's
strictures on the indifference that has been mani-
fested in this country as to the condition of the
Courts of Law, which has for so long been a stand-
ing disgrace to the metropolis. No one who is
intimate with them can fail to
acknowledge the
justice of these remarks :—" If the construction
and locality of our Law Courts and pglces had
been wantonly designed on purpose to impede and
render difficult the administration of justice,
it is impossible to imagine a state of things
more calculated to promote that view.
This exhibits most certainly the necessity that exists
for a change being introduced, and it is to be hoped
that no obstacle will be put in the way of the speedy
execution of this scheme. The inconveniences that

are experienced at present are most numerous, and
it seems really extraordinary that, long before this,
something decisive was not done. The Lord Chan-
cellor briefly enumerated some of the difficulties
that now impeded the administration of justice in

ragement it has received. Books of every shade of opinion

in some instances thousands, of copies of the choicer Works
have tieen provided for the use of Subscribers.

ITALY.

TURIN, April
The Italian Government has just addressed atonobtee
to Mr. Elliot, 'her Britannic Majesty's Iviinister
at
Turin, in which they demonstrate the
of selling the State railways to a company
expressly formed for that purpose (ad hoc), and,
the material and moral impossibility of exchanging
the bonds of the Hambro' bondholders into railway
shares. The Italian Government, however, declare
in the despatch that it does not intend to damage
in any way the rights of the Hambro' bondholders,
who, in the event of their being prejudiced by the
sale of the State railways, will receive an indemnity
from the Government, in the same manner as in
cases of expropriation for works of public utility ;
that is to say, by arbitration.

MORE FURIOUS DRIVING.—William Amos, a butcher, of
Cubitt-town, Poplar, was brought up on a remand before
Mr. Partridge, charged with furiously and recklessly driv-
ing a horse and cart in the Bow-road on Friday last, when
a child was knocked down and killed, the wheel of his cart
having passed over the deceased. It was proved tnat the
prisoner was driving a large and spirited horse at the rate
of 12 miles an hour, and that he was charged at this court
on the 3d' December last with furious driving, and ordered
to pay costs.

Inspector Kerressey, of the K division, said the coroner's
jury at an inquest on the body returned the following ver-
dict, " That William Amos, of Cubitt Town, in the ,said
county, builder, did feloniously and unlawfully kill and
slay against the peace of our Sovereign Lady the Queen
her Crown and dignity, David John Keenan, and that the
said David John Keenan, at the time of his death, was a
male person of the age of 5 years and 6 months."

Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial for man-
slaughter.

MOCK AUCTIONS.—A seaman, named Robert Maxwell,
from the north, but without any northern acuteness, ap-
plied to Mr. Partridge for redress against a gang of vil-
lains carrying on a mock auction in the district. There
are several of these establishments in the east, and the pro-
prietors of them have nested considerable sums by their
nefarious practices. The police have interfered and shut
up several, but others are in full vigour. The applicant
entered one of those cheating dens yesterday afternoon,
and was induced by others who were bidding to bid for " a
very handsome Clerkenwell-made watch," for so it was
described by the auctioneer ; and a Jew-looking man said
it was worth £5. The sailor bid £2 10s., and it was
knocked down to him for that sum. He soon dis-

The Fretich Cemetery at Sebastopol.

A letter from St. Petersburg, dated April 14,
contains much additional information respecting
the removal of the bodies of French soldiers to
the cemetery prepared for their reception. It was
probable that the exhumations would be continued
for a long time, for up to the date of the last ac-
counts operations had only taken place on the land
of M. Braker, in which more than 2,000 French sol-
diers were interred. According to the lists in the
hands of the French officer, Capt. Filgas, who con-
ducts the operations, he will have to disinter 48,000
of his countrymen—an enormous number, but which
by no means represents the total loss sustained by
the French army, for, besides all those who died in
the Russian hospitals, and those at Kustendj ie, Varna ,
and Constantinople, the bodies of many others were
never found, having been devoured by voracious
animals. Those killed at the Alma are also not in-
cluded in this number of 48,000, which only com-
prises the French buried under ofthewdrallsawnup.
Sebasto-
pol, of whom an exact list could be
In disinterring his countrymen Capt. Filgas found
the bodies of three Russians--Gen. Read, of the ca-
valry, who was killed al, the Tchernaya ; a naval
captain named Skorobogatof, who was killed on the
first day of the bombardment ; and Lieut. Kassinoff,
who died of his wounds in Sept., 1855. The three
coffins were conveyed with military honours to the
principal cemetery, situate on the north side of the
city. . .

Gen. Read commanded the centre of the Russian
army at thebattle of Tchernaya. Having interpreted
the verbal order, "It is time to commence," brought
to him by the aide-de-camp of the general-in-chief,
as an order to attack the heights of Fedukhine, he
ordered the centre to advance, and took possession
of the heights. But he found himself alone, the rest
of the army was in the rear, for there had been a
mistake in the transmission of the order, and the
army was not ready for the attack. The wings re-
mained in the rear and the reserves had not arrived.
Gen. Read could not maintain himself on the heights,
from which he was repulsed and killed during the
retreat. Gen. Pelissier informed the Russian staff of

the general's death, but having received the reply
that there must be an error, he caused the body to
be interred in the French cemetery, and the follow-
ing inscriptionwas setup over the grave :—" General
Read, killed Aug. 16, 1855, at the battle of Tcher-
naya."

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.-TUESDAY.

There was but a moderate supply of wheat at to-day's
market, and it being a holiday the attendance of buyers was
scanty. Barley and oats were scarce, and all sorts of grain
sold slowly, at barely last week's prices.
Northumberland wheat sold from 32s to 445, Norfolk and
Suffolk, 39s to 45s ' • Dantsic, 395 to 46s ; oat; 21s to 26s ;
barley, 26s to 31s ; beans, 36s to 40s ; rye, 27s to 36s ; malt,
51s to 62s per qr. ; flour, 26s to 28s per sack.

LYNN.—TuEsDAY.
We have had another week's fine weather, and also a
change of wind from the north-east to the south. The
market to-day was but thinly attended, and there was con-
sequently a small show of wheat, for which last week's
prices were readily paid. Malting barley is nearly all
worked up in this district—the few samples offering rea-
lised full prices • grinding qualities rather dearer. Beans
