MARK LANE.

The fresh arrival of English wheat to this morning's
market was small. Generally speaking, however, sales pro-
gressed somewhat slowly ; nevertheless, Monday's advance
in the quotations was well maintained.
Thera was a fair show of samples of foreign wheat on
offer. In most descriptions a moderate retail business wai
transacted, and the currencies ruled firm.
Floating cargoes' of grain were in moderate request a
full quotations.

For barley there was a steady demand, and late rates
were well supported.
The malt trade was steady at quite previous quotations.
Good and fine oats met a steady sale at full currencies,
but inferior qualities moved off heavily at the late decline.
Beans and peas changed hands at the extreme prices of
Monday.
Flour sold freely, and the quotations had an upward
tendency.

(From the Correspondent of the Times.)
NEW YORK, APRIL 1.

Though the Federal Government has established
a censorship over the electric telegraph, it does not
t'.iereby guarantee the authenticity of the news that
it allows to flash along the wires. Last week, after
the announcement of the capture of Newbern, every
one credited the intelligence transmitted almost im-
mediately afterwards, that Beaufort and Fort Macon
had been evacuated by the Confederates, and that
the notorious steamer Nashville had been burnt by
her commander, to prevent her falling into the
h ands of her foes. These events were so highly
probable that disbelief was out of the question. But
of the three facts thus communicated to the public,
with the sanction of the Government, only one
turned out to be true. Newbern had fallen, but the
Confederates held Beaufort and Fort Macon; and
the captain of the Nashville, a man who seems to be
as fortunate as he is desperate, had run the blockade
establishe, against him by two small vessels,
of whioh only one was a steamer, and reached the
open er,tt in safety, with a parting shot from the foe,
whic:n proved as harmless as a salute. Perhaps by
th'..s time more is known in England of his doings
'than is known here. The merchants of New York
are annoyed and indignant at his escape, for he sent
-up the rate of insurance on every trading vessel
carrying the Federal flag over the Atlantic, and if
he do not fall in with another Harvey Birch or two
on his way to British waters, and burn, sink, or
destroy them, it will not be for the want of will,
but from the absence of opportunity. Mr. Gideon
Welles, the Secretary of the Navy, is evidently too
slow. It was known that the Nashville had lain for
weeks under the shelter of the guns of Fort Macon,
and that there were three channels to the sea, by
either of which she could make a run. Yet, though
he deemed it necessary to set a watch over her
movements, he seems to have thought that an old
and next to useless steamer, and an old sailing
boat, were quite sufficient to guard the three chan-
nels against the exit of one of the fastest steamers
afloat, commanded by one of the most dare-devil
and adventurous seamen that ever trod a deck. As
regards the official and other telegrams from the
various points of war, the only safe course is to dis-
believe them till they are confirmed by the surer
information conveyed through the post-office. So
puzzling and unreliable are they thit one journal
yet persists, on the faith of them, in asserting that
the story of tilt:3 escape of the Nashville is as fabu-
lous as that of her burning, and that sbe still lies at
anchor ur

THE ARMY.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
accompanied by Sir Richard Airey, Quartermas-
ter-General, Major-General Lord W. Paulet, C. 8.,
commanding the south-west district, and a numer-
ous btaff, yesterday visited Portsdown-hill, near
Portsmouth, and inspected the forts in progress of
construction along the crest of the hill. His Royal
Highness is expected to inspect the troops in gar-
rison at Portsmouth on Southsea-common to-day,
prior to his return to London.

For some time past the Royal Marine Barracks
at Chatham have proved altogether insufficient for
the accommodation of the largely increased number
of officers and men attached to headquarters. It
has been in consequence found necessary to quarter
400 men in one of the Line barracks at the garri-
son, a course which the authorities have been
obliged to adopt notwithstanding the manifest dis-
advantages of separating the men. 'Taking this
into account, and also the probable speedy return of
the Royal Marine battalion from Mexico, which
will largely increase the strength at headquarters,
the Lords of the Admiralty have decided on the
immediate enlargement of the barracks, in accord-
ance with the plans laid before Parliament some
three or four years back, when the sum of £60,000
was taken in the Estimates for the proposed work.
Of this amout a considerable sum has already been
expended in the purchase of the land on which the
additional barrack buildings will be erected, the
proposed enlargement necessitating the removal of
one large hotel, one tavern, and about 20 private
houses. The whole of these have been taken down,
and the site cleared as far as the boundary wall of
St. Mary's parish church, to which the new bar-
racks will extend. The plans for the proposed en-
largement have been approved by the Admiralty,
and the works will be immediately commenced.
The block of buildings forming the right wing of
the present barracks, inhabited principally by the
single officers of the division, will be taken down
and removed as far as the boundary wall of the
church, which will increase the barrack parade-

HANOVER.

A letter from Hanover, dated Bth inst., says :
"The Hanoverian Ministry has proposed to the
Chambers that the Public Treasury should take
shares for the construction of a railway destined to
connect directly the network of Hanoverian rail-
ways with those of Holland to the amount of
800,000 florins. The deliberations were secret.
The project has been adopted by the two Chambers.
The two Chambers have also voted funds for the
construction of a railway from Gottingen to Gotha.
This important line will place the commercial marts
on the Elbe and Weser in direct connexion with
South Germany." .

Under the head of " Latest Intelligence" La
Presse says :
" Nunielous arrests have taken place at Corfu, by
order of the Governor."
La Patric says :

"We learn by a private despatch, dated Corfu,
12th, that, consequent upon the reply of the Lord
High Commissioner to the deputation of the lonian
PPrliament, various partisans of the union of the
lonian Islands to Greece have been arrested, and
will be confined to the Island of Cerigo, by order
of the English authorities, who accuse them of an
attempt at agitation."

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.
Under the head of " Latest Intelligence" la
Presse says :
" Numerous arrests have taken place at Corfu, by
order of the Governor."
La Patrie says :

" We learn by a private despatch, dated Corfu,
12th, that, consequent upon the reply of the Lord
High Commissioner to the deputation of the lonian
Parliament, various partisans of the union of the
lonian Islands to Greece have been arrested, and
will be confined to the Island of Cerigo, by order
of the English authorities, who accuse them of an
attempt at agitation."

HANOVER.
A letter from Hanover, dated Bth inst., says

"The Hanoverian Ministry has proposed to the
Chambers that the Public Treasury should take
shares for the construction of a railway destined to
connect directly the network of Hanoverian rail-
ways with those of Holland to the amount of
800,000 florins. The deliberations were secret.
The project has been adopted by the two Chambers.
The two Chambers have also voted funds for the
construction of a railway from Gottingen to Gotha.
This important line will place the commercial marts
on the Elbe and Weser in direct connexion with
South Germany."

ISLAND NO. TEN.

commodore Foote has not yet succeeded in crack-
ing that very hard nut in the Mississippi, Islabd
No, 10. It is now 17 days since the siege began,
and, although the Commodore has his nut-crackers
in his hand, the nut resists the pressure as it were
iron to the core, and had nothing like a yielding
kernel inside. The operations were suspended for
some days by floods in the river, but, if the tele-
graph tells truth, they were recommenced on Fri-
day, but as yet without result. While the Federal
forces are thus impeded in their efforts to force a
way down the Mississippi, public expectation is
reused by the announcement of a still more import-
ant effort to force a passage upwards to New
Orleans. The plans of the Federal commanders
are of course not known or divulged, but the geo-
graphieal position of the Crescent City seems to
justify the anticipation that it will be attacked
simultaneously from the river and from Lake Pont-
chartrain. If the scraps and odds and ends of in-
formation that reach us at intervals from the South
are not utterly unreliable there will be harder fight-
ing here than there has been anywhere since the
days of Bull Run. The Confederates are perfectly
aware of the strategical as well as the commercial
and political value of New Orleans, and they have
had nearly 12 months to organise its defences by
land and water. Public rumour asserts that no re-
sources of nature or art have been neglected to
render it as impregnable as modern science can make
it. The river is said to be fuller of engines of de-
struction than fish, and the land defences between
Pontchartrain and the city, a distance of six miles
of swamp and jungle, through which the famous
Shell Road is pierced in almost a straight line, are
described as being far more formidable than any-
thing ever yet constructed on this continent. At
the date of the last advices (always presupposing
that the telegraphic wires convey the truth) an in-
vading fleet of 200 vessels, including a mortar flo-
tilla under the command of Captain Porter, had
crossr4 the bar of the Lower Mississippi, and was
ca:atiously making its way up the river. New
Orleans will not fall without a desperate struggle,
and is more likely to be the Sebastopol of the war
than Richmond or Corinth, or any other of the
places where the Confederate generals are reported
to be making a stand against the advancing hosts
of M'Clellan and his victorious lieutenants.

THE STATE OF NANKIN.—News from Nankin is
up to the 17th February, at which date her Majesty's ship
Renard came down to Shanghai with a European prisoner
on board, captured among toe insurrectionists. The im-
perialists made an attack on the suburbs with their war
junks, when they seized some booty, hut had to retire be-
fore the rebels, who went out against them in great force.
A famine exists amongst the wretched inhabitants, which
has spread amongst the rebel themselves, so that they are
:ictually slaying people and devouring their flesh. A cor-
respondent states—" Such is the destitution that human
flesh is readily devoured, and there is no compunction what-
ever upon capturing a wayfarer in tying him up to a tree,
and slice by slice devouring him." We have this from re-
liable information, and are certain of its truth, as those who
have witnessed the enaction of these scenes detail them to
us.—London and China Telegraph.

THE ARMY.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
accompanied by Sir Richard Airey, Quartermas-
ter-General, Major-General Lord W. Paulet, CB.,
commanding the south-west district, and a numer-
ous staff, yesterday visited Portsdown-hill, near
Portsmouth, and inspected the forts in progress of
construction along the crest of the hill. His Royal
Highness is expected to inspect the troops in gar-
rison at Portsmouth on Southsea-common to-day,
prior to his return to London.

For some time past the Royal Marine Barracks
at Chatham have proved altogether insufficient for
the accommodation of the largely increased number
of officers and men attached to headquarters. It
has been in consequence found necessary to quarter
400 men in one of the Line barracks at the garri.
son, a course which the authorities have been
obliged to adopt notwithstanding the manifest dis-
advantages of separating the men. Taking this
into account, and also the probable speedy return of
the Royal Marine battalion from Mexico, which
will largely increase the strength at headquarters,
the Lords of the Admiralty have decided on the
immediate enlargement of the barracks, in accord-
ance with the plans laid before Parliament some
three or four years back, when the sum of £60,000
was taken in the Estimates for the proposed work.
Of this ninout a considerable sum has already been
expended in the purchase of the land on which the
additional barrack buildings will be erected, the
proposed enlargement necessitating the r(lnoval of
one large hotel, one tavern, and about 20 private
houses. The whole of these have bceii taken down,
and the site cleared as far as the boundary wall of
St. Mary's parish church, to which the new bar-
racks will extend. The plans for the proposed en-
largement have been approved by the Admiralty,
and the works will be immediately commenced.
The block of buildings forming the right wing of
the present barracks, inhabited principally by the
single officers of the division, will be taken down
and removed as far as the boundary wall of the
church, which will increase the barrack parade-

Col. the Hon. W. Fielding. The Winds or brought
11 officers, 463 men, the officers including Col. T. M.
Steele, C. 8., and Lieut.-Lord E. Cecil. A number

of women and children arrived with the same vessels.

In the course of the day the whole body proceeded

from Liverpool for London by the London and

North-Western Railway.

On Tuesday there was inaugurated with military
ceremonial a monument on the esplanade of Edin-
burgh Castle to the officers and men of the 78th
Highlanders, about 250 in number, who fell in the
Indian campaign of 1857.8. The monument, which
is erected by the surviving officers and men of the
regiment, is in the form of a Celtic Cross, and is
elaborately carved. The names of all the officers and.
men commemorated are inscribed on the pedestal in
old letters. Gen. Walker, commanding in the North
British district, conducted the ceremonial, and made
a short address on the services of the regiment to
the troops present—namely, the Scots Greys, the
26th Cameronians, and a battery of Royal Artillery.

SALISBURY-APRIL 15.

At to-day's market wheat was in moderate supply, but
in much bettar condition. Best dry parcels moved off at is
over late rates, but other sorts generally were no dearer.
Barley in fair supply, at last week's prices. Oats, beans,
and other articles rather slow, but firm.

INDIA AND CHINA STATION.—The number of
ships and vessels on the India and China station in 1858
was 74, the complement 11,865, and the annual expense
£1,019,904. In the present year the number is 38, the com.
plement 3,982, and the cost £456,048. The cost is thus
analysed :—Wages, £170,785 ; victuals, £73,100 ; wear and
tear of ships, £111,149; coals, £99,659; £1,355 for medi-
cines, &c., making up the £456,048.

THE NAVY.

Letters received from St, Thomas's, West Indies,
dated March 30, state that Capt. Hancock, com-
manding her Majesty's frigate Melpomone, was in
command of the Windward Islands division of the
fleet.

Port-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., went
yesterday in the tender Princess Alice from Hamo-
aze into the Sound, and mustered the crew, and in-
spected the condition of the paddlewheel steam fri-
gate Magicienne,l6, Capt. the Prince of Leiningen,
which has had her compasses adjusted, received her
powder, and embarked supernumeraries. She is
now ready to leave Plymouth for her destination,
in all probability the Mediterranean.

The Lords of the Admiralty have determined on
having No. 3 dock, the Queen's dock, in Keyham
Steamyard, lengthened forthwith.

The hired troopship Sir James, which arrived in
the Thames on Tuesday evening with troops from
the Mauritius, landed her sick and time-expired
men at the Government•quay, Gravesend, yesterday
morning, when the whole were immediately for-
warded to Chatham, where on their arrival those
requiring medical treatment were admitted into
Fort Pitt Hospital. The Sir James sailed from
Mauritius on Jan. 31, the passage !to Gravesend
being a very fair one. The number of troops
brought home was 100 men of all ranks.
A Swedish corvette arrived in Plymouth Sound
yesterday afternoon, and saluted the flag of the
Port Admiral, &c.

A numerous party of convicts arrived by early
train from London at Chatham yesterday morning

RUSSIA.

The Poste du Nord of St. Petersburg publishes
the following:—
" The ice having broken up on the Volga and
Tvertsa and stopped, communication on those two
rivers is interrupted. Advices from Dunabourg
state that enormous masses of ice were floating
down the river, which had risen 28 feet, but was
subsiding. The provisional icebreakers placed
above the new iron bridge under construction over
the Dwina have been carried away, but the bridge,
though not completed, has not been injured. Ht
one point in the Dwina huge blocks of ice were
thrown upon the railway embankment, on the left
bank, and it took great labour to break them up
and throw them back again. The wooden bridge
at no great distance was entirely swept away."

rivers is interrupted. Advices from Dunabourg
state that enormous masses of ice were floating
down the river, which had risen 28 feet, but was
subsiding. The provisional ice.breakers placed
above the new iron bridge under construction over
the Dwina have been carried away, but the bridge,
though not completed, has not been injured. Ht
one point in the Dwina huge blocks of ice were
thrown upon the railway embankment, on the left
bank, and it took great labour to break them up
and throw them back again. The wooden bridge
at no great distance was entirely swept away."
