PIA I?IrET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Very moderate supplies of wheat wore on sale in the
leading country markets held on Saturday. The demand
for all kinds rule'l steady, at an advance in the quotations
of fully 2s per quarter. There was very little inquiry for
barley and malt, but oats were held with more firmness.
Other articles were dull.
Our last advices from New York state that flour had
further advanced is per barrel,os h
and tat the value of grain
had an upward tendency. Mt of the continental mar-
kets have been dull. In the general quotations, however,
very little change has taken place.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market
last week were but moderate. The imports of foreign
amounted to only 1,370 quarters of wheat, 1,500 barley,
14,915 oats, 164 beaus, 10 peas, 20 tares, 17 sundry seeds,
and 474 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of wheat
from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, were
seasonably good, and in excellent condition. As the at-
tendance of country buyers was large, the demand for new
English wheat was active, and a good business was trans-
acted, at au advance in the prices obtained on Monday
last of from 3s to 4s per quarter. There was a fair inquiry
for old wheats, the show of which was small, at from 3s
to 4s per quarter above the rates current ou this day se'n-
night. For forward delivery nothing was doing.
Notwithstanding the supply of foreign wheat, that
grain moved off readily, at 3s. to 4s. above last week's
quotations. Several parcels changed hands for shipment
to the continent.

Iu floating cargoes very little was doing, yet they were
held on higher terms.

B,,rley—the supply of which was small—was steady, at
full prices.

We had a dull inquiry for malt ; but there were no
sellers on lower terms.

The supplies of oats were small, and the sale for them
ruled rather active, at from is. to is. 6d. per quarter more

money.
Beans were in short supply and slow request, on former

etinF4

In peas very little business was transacted, at the late
decline.

Indian corn was in good request, and dearer.
About 1,000 barrels of American flour were sold for
France, at au advance of ls. per batrel. The trade gene-
rally was firm.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The following communication has been received.
It is from Erzeroum, and is dated the 12th
" I have now to announce to you a fact which has
produced a great sensation in Asia, and which is of
great importance after the defeat at Kars. We at
one time feared that the Russians intended to march
on that place ; but we are now almost entirely re-
lieved from that apprehension. Schamyl, at the
head of 16,000 horsemen, has come down from the
mountains into the Orketthy. As the Russians did
not expect such a movement, they were not on
their guard. They have received considerable
injury, 200 villages have been put to fire and
sword. The Circassians made a considerable
booty. Schamyl is only a few leagues distant
from Tiflis. Bayazid has been evacuated by the
Russians, who have entirely quitted the Ottoman
territory, but it is not known whether this move-
ment is caused by the presence of Schamyl in the
neighbourhood of Tiflis, or whether the corps that
occupied Bayazid has been recalled to fill up the
considerable void made in the Russian ranks by
the last battle. However this may be, the com-
munications with Persia, which had been inter-
rupted, are now comple t,ely open."

WOOL.

We have a fair demand for most kinds of English wool,
at full quotations. In foreign arid colonial qualities very
little is doing, on former terms. Last week's imports were
—54 bags from Hamburg ; 712 from Port Philip ; and 6
from Rotterdam.
The following are the current rates of English wool :

THE BALTIC.

- -
COPENHAGEN, Sept. G.—King Oscar's proposition
for a new regency law has been received as was ex-
pected—the Parliamentary Constitution committee
has rejected it.

•
Now that the royal Swedish quarantine-madness
'has dared to lay the war-ships of the allies in
quarantine, although the system has been re-
peatedly showni to be utterly useless and absurd,
and although the cholera is in full play at Stock-
holm itself, it is supposed that the Western Powers
will take steps for putting an end to the whole
monomania.

Tile Czar has distributed orders and medals to a
number of the persons engaged in the affair at
Gamla-Carleby.
Political pamphlets on the war, and on the ne-
cessity for Sweden immediately joining the allies,
are rapidly appearing in Stockholm, and all par-
ties appear to agree that the Court cannot delay
this step much longer. At the same time, the
opinion of the country is that this question is inti-
mately connected with the restoration of Poland,
without which step Sweden will come into a dan-
gerous and false position. Prussia and Austria, if
they understand their own interest, must see that
they would gain by this as much as the rest of
Europe. What is just, and necessary, and advan-
tageous, will therefore be accomplished.

TROOPS FOR INDIA.

The troops for Bombay from Chatham garrison, for
the ship Earl of Balcarres, marched on Saturday morn-
ing to Strood, and thence proceeded by railway to
Gravesend. The bagpipes of the Highlanders and the
drums and fifes of the provisional battalion played
them out to the railway station ; they consisted of
the following corps :-50 men, 64th toot ; 21 men,
' 78th Highlanders ; 34 men, 83d ; and 80 men, 10th
Hussars, under comainnd of Captain William Knox
Orme, 10th Foot, with the under-named officers— En-
sign Henry Turner, 64th ; Ensign Graham Mylne, 83d;
Cornet Charles Uniacke, and Cornet William Mayne,
10th Hussars; and Dr. O'Neile, 78th Highlanders. The
above ship was reported yesterday by the medical gen-
tlemen that the cholera had entirely disappeared, sad
the crew progressing favourably to a healthy condition.
Immediately the telegraphic message arrived at the
garrison offioe the commandant, Colonel W. H. Eden,
started for Gravesend, and made the necessary inspec-
tion of the ship. The commandant returned to the
garrison, and inspected the troops on the general parade
ground of the barracks at two o'clock in the afternoon.

DERVISH PASHA'S ADDRESS.

" Wallachians,—llis Imperial Majesty the Sultan,
our gracious Sovereign, in his great and fatherly care for
all his subjects, without exception, has been pleased to
give a fresh proof of his goodness in naming me his im-
perial commissioner for the principality of Wallachia, in
order that I may watch over your welfare, and restore
that order which has so unfortunately been destroyed by
the injustice and despotism of the Russian Government.
While I hasten to communicate the gracious decision of
his Imperial Majesty, I make known unto you the follow-
ing :
"The Sublime Porte having entered into a convention
with his Imperial Apostolic Majesty, as previously with
the Governments of France and England, we therefore
make known unto you that in accordance with that con-
vention the Imperial Austrian troops will provisionally
occupy both principalities. The presence of these troops
in Wallachia need cause no uneasiness to you, for they
enter the country as one of the friendly powers allied
with the Sublime Porte. These troops will be in no
way a burden to you, for they will pay for everything
purchased in ready money.
" After the Russians have positively evacuated the
principalities, the former Government of the country
will be restored. Your ancient privileges are and will
be scrupulously preserved ; and in this you will recog-
nise the fatherly and benevolent cares of your Sovereign,
all earlier treaties being declared annulled. May God
bestow happiness and blessings on our Sultan !
Wallachians, your country has suffered much, but
under the glorious rule of our Sovereign all will again
prosper. Trusting that circumstances wiil soon permit
a more happy development of it, you must continue to
obey the laws under which you are governed, and to
preserve for them that sentiment of respect which is so
indispensable to the happiness and prosperity of any
country. Utider such circumstances, nothing will be
more easy or more agreeable than to maintain the public
order and tranquillity, with the care of which I have been
charged by our august Sovereign.
"I place all my reliance in your sentiments of devo-
tion and fidelity to his Imperial Majesty, our beloved
Sovereign, and in your loyal affection for the country
which has given you birth.
(Signed) "DERVISH,
Imperial Ottoman Commissioner,
and General of Division.

BOROUGH HOP.
A few pockets of new hops on sale have changed hands
at from 181 Os to 211 per cwt. Our market is very firm, and

are unfavourable as regards the growth, and the duty is
called 60,0001 to 65,0001. Last week's imports were large,
viz., 244 from Ostend, 1,132 from Hamburg, 359 from
Antwerp, 165 from Ghent, 80 from Rotterdam, and 5
from Dunkirk. Mid and East Keut pockets, 121. 12s to

TURKISH FORCE IN GREAT NVALLACHIA

A telegraphic despatch from Bucharest, of the
sth, in the Austrian Correspondence, states that
Ismail Pacha left that town ou the 2d, with the
political refugees under his orders for Asia. The
Turks intend, it is said, to keep the line of the
Jalomnitza, but not to push further. Their forces
are stated to be in Great Wallachia 30,000 men,
under Hassan Pacha, 30,000 under Tossum Pacha,
14,000 in reserve under Gritly Ogla, 14,000 Bashi-
Bazouks, and 2,000 artillerymen.

THE MOLDAVIAN ARTILLERY AND
CAVALRY.

The Wanderer of Vienna, under date of Jassy,
23th ult., says :
" On Saturday last, the Russians wished to compel the
Moldavian cavalry and artillery to follow them beyond
the Pruth, but the officers declared that their duty was
to serve their country, and that they could never ac-
knowledge Russia as such. General Baron Osten
Sacken threatened to bring them all before a court-
martial, which would not fail to condemn them to
death. They replied that he might do what he thought
proper, but that they were forbidden by their oaths from
serving Russia. Ail threats and promises remained
without success. it was then that Baron Budberg took
Captain Philippesco, who had spoken in the name of the
Moldavian officers, by the arm and gave an order
for hisgarrest, and all the other officers, with the ex-
ception of one, the son of an old officer in the Russian
service, met the same fate. The Moldavian Hetman,
Maurokordato, was ordered to declare to the soldiers
of the Moldavian militia, in the name of General Bud-
berg, ' that the humblest among them was worth more
than Captain Philippesco,' to which the soldiers unani-
mously exclaimed that it was a falsehood. The soldiers
then wished to rescue their officers by force, and were
only prevented from the attempt by the entreaties of
Captain Philippesco, and they retired to their barracks
uttering curses against the Russians."
The state of affairs in Little Wallachia is said to
be extremely unsettled, and the government of
Sami Paella causes great discontent.

ENCAMPMENT IN THE CRIMEA.

A correspondent-writing fro; Constantinople,
gays,
,says, "with regard to a permanent encampinentin
the Crimea during the winter, it is said, on good
authority, to be perfectly feasible. The British
Consul at Kertch is of opinion that troops may be
stationed under canvas during the severest winter,
d all accounts seems to say that for the purpose
anti is better than. , either Varna or Constantinople.
Whatever may be the immediate result of the expe-
dition, t here can be no doubt that the allies will
hold possession of the country during the winter,
and eve rvthing seems to betoken thatthe cold wea-
ther will not. be allowed to impede the operations."
It is said that large reinforcements have been

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The St. Vincent, 101, was towed into Portsmouth
harbour on Saturday morning, and will resume her
former position as guardship of the ordinary. Her sick
have been removed.

,Touching the cholera. From all we gather it is very
manifest that this sad scourge, if taken in time, is surely
within human means ;if not, death is certain. It has
been proved more particularly in this ship, that ali who
sought medical advice at the commencement of the at-
tack were saved, whilst those who neglected themselves,
or took what they fancied, assuredly died. Now this
fact cannot be too sufficiently made public, particularly
in the naval service ; and an order should be given to all
warrant and petty officers to watch the earliest symp-
toms, which commence with sickness, etc. Many a
hundred valuable lives may be thus saved aboard and
ashore.

The frigate Meander, 44, Capt. Baillie, sailed on Satur-
day from Plymouth, to complete her crew at Greenock.
The Melampus is lying off Plymouth dockyard, en
route to Glasgow, for steam machinery. Her crew have
been kept at ball cartridge practice very frequently of
late, at a mark from the dockyard ship battery erected
for such purposes.

The Sp 6, paddle-sloop, Captain Clifford, arrived
at Portsmouth on Saturday night, and steamed into har-
bour yesterday morning. Captain Clifford, we are very
happy to report, is doing well, and it is hoped will escape
the amputation of his legs. He has the best attention of
the medical staff of the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar,
and was going on very favourably last night.
On Saturday at nine a.m., the Horatio, 24-gun steam-
frigate, Commander Robert Jenner, arrived at the Great
Nore from Hull.

Orders have been received to cleanse and whitewash
the hospital hulks Endymion and Andromeda, lying in
Plymouth Sound, and recently used for the troops and
crew of the Lord Auckland, so as to be ready to receive
the crews of any of the ships returning from the Baltic
or Black Seas.

An able seaman belonging to the Sybille, in a letter
dated Batavia, July 8, and received at Plymouth last
week, says, " The Winchester has taken a Russian
frigate and two corvettes in the north of China."
The merchant barque Queen, Captain Hengell, from
Saguenay for London, was off Plymouth on the sth
inst. ; all well.

The Mangerton, hired transport, No. 17, arrived at
Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon to embark stores,
&c., for the Black Sea.
The Vifredo, screw steamer transport, Castello Com-
mander, arrived at Portsmouth from the Thames yester-
day, and went into harbour. She will embark troops
in a day or two for the Black Sea. On ber passage to
Portsmouth she struck the 0 wers, although in charge of
a Portsmouth branch pilot, and it may be necessary to
dock her ; if so, the embarkation of her troops will be
necessarily delayed a little.

THE TRAPPER.

The other " cripple," AUTOCRAT, shall be my cockboat.
I shall briefly direct attention to the remaining► events.
The advance of the Grand Inquisitor for the great York-
shire Handicap, or something else beyond my ken, has
caused retrogression of Rabgill. Still, should Rabgill
go to the post, and be actually intended, I shall not
think slightingly of his chance. Perhaps, however, the
most satisfactory selection to make against the field
would comprise Typee, Grapeshot, and Amalgamation.
For the "off chance" I shall take The Reiver. The pro-
bable absence of Dirk Hatteraick and Lord of the Isles
makes the Champagne Stakes seem on paper a certainty
for Bonnie Morn. Ellermire will, doubtless, win the
Revival Plate. For the Stand Plate, Merry Bird,
Kennyside Hero, and Eva seem worthy of notice. The
Filly Stakes I shall place to the credit of Fayaway.
In addition to the St. Leger, Wednesday's list con-
tains six items, of which a moiety are at my present
writing unclosed. Dirk Hatteraick will, doubtless,
carry off the Municipal Stakes, and Rataplan the 100
Sovs. Sweepstakes. Catherine Parr, Pumicestone, and
Mishap will, perhaps, occupy the foremost places in the
race for the Corporation Plate. The Cleveland Handi-
cap stands first on Thursday's list. Snowdon Dunhill.
Hobby Horse, and Kiteflyer seem the most attractive
names among the nominations. For the Scarborough
Stakes I shall select Hospodar, and for the Eglinton
Stakes, Ellermire and Nettle. Could I calculate with
certainty upon a start, Bonnie Morn should, despite his
71bs. penalty, be my unconditional selection for the 10
Sovs. Sweepstakes. In his absence I shall look to
either Fayaway or Dr. Cooke to win. Evangeline and
Palmerston shall represent my interest in the Handicap
for two-yr-olds. By the way, I had almost forgotten to
make mention of the match between Evangeline and
Cimicina, to be run to-morrow (Tuesday.) I shall ex-
pect the running of these fillies at Wolverhampton to be
confirmed.

I shall not now enter into a discussion of the events
to be decided on Friday. I will despatch some notes
from Doncaster on Wednesday, when I shall be in pos
session of the " Grand Secret."

THE PRESTON STRIKE.

PRESTON, March 25.—The arrest and committal of the
delegates is the all-absorbing topic of conversation here.
The town, however, is remarkably quiet, the excitement
which existed among the unemployed up to Thursday
evening having now wholly subsided. Immediately
after the result of the magisterial inquiry was known, a
number of tradesmen and others met together, and it
was unanimously resolved that a " Delegates' Defence
Fund" be forthwith organised. A. treasurer was ap-
pointed, and considerable sums have been collected, pub-
lic sympathy being aroused on behalf of the committed
delegates. A special levy of 2d. is to be made at Black-
burn in aid of the object in view, and this example is
being followed by other towns in the district.

The importation of hands is still going forward on an
extensive scale, about 400 having been brought in dur-
ing the week. It is stated, however, that little more
than half of these are likely to be available as workers.
25 hands, imported by the associated masters, have re-
ctlntly been sent back again, in consequence of their
being ;:lissatisfied with the prices offered them. In a
circular issued by the committee of the AlAsters' Defence
Association, it is g2.1r1.;—" The number of operatives re-
turning to work is daily obi the increase, notwithstanding
the efforts which are put forth f prevent it. The ar-
rangements which, in previous announcements, the com-
mittee have stated as being in progress foxthe removal
of operatives from other localities have been attended
with perfect success ; and, in addition to the hands who
have already arrived, large numbers are now ready to be
removed as soon as the necessary preliminaries for their
reception can be completed."
This afternoon a meeting of the unemployed was held
in a field on the Lancaster-road, about a mile and a half
from the town. Four of the committed delegates, viz.,
Messrs. Cowell, Grimshaw, Waddington, and Lang
presented themselves before the assembly and were
warmly cheered. It was, however, deemed prudent
that they should not address the meeting. The speakers
a
were Messrs. Rhodes, of Stockport ; Brown,
Blackburn ; Beever, of Brooksbottom ; Smith, of
Oldham ; and Lawless, of Warrington. The chief topic
descanted upon was the apprehension of the delegah.ens.
One of the speakers remarked, that the approaching
trial at Lives pool would show whether there was one
law for the rich and another for the poor. If the men
who had been committed this week wereguhiultnydroefdcfooln-
spiracy, then were the manufacturerstur was manufacturers
found in theds a
more guilty—an illustration of which
intimidation alleged to have been practised by
in the asso-
ciation towards Mr. John Swainson, requiring him
either to forfeit 5,000/. or lock out his hands again, after
lie had arranged with them upon satisfactory terms.
According to cusLoin, the proceedings closed with v,
round of cheering.
To-monkm there is Ili be a ten-per-cent, eamP meeting

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

These markets continue to be fairly supplied with most
kinds of potatoes. The demand is by no means active, at
our quotations. Last week's imports were 20 tons from
Hamburgh, 106 ditto from Rotterdam, 1 from Dublin, 90
from Belfast, and 1 from Limerick. The prices are
as follows :—York Regents, 120 s to 165 s ; Kent and
Essex ditto, 120 s to 165 ; Scotch ditto, 115 s to 125 s ; ditto
cups, 110 to 120 s ; Irish, 100 s to 115 s ; foreign, 100 s to

STATISTICS OF THE COLONY OF

VICTORIA' IN 1852.

(From the Melbourne Argus of December 15.)
Returning to the statistics of the colony for the year
1852, recently published by the Government, we find
many other items of interest.
Immigration.—This is a return of immigrants who
arrived in Victoria in 1852, distinguishing those who
arrived at the public expense from those who arrived at
their own expense. Of the former there is a very elabo-
rate account, divided under the heads—sex and age,
condition, occupation, education, religion, country. Of
the latter, the only particulars given are the sex and
period of life, and the country from which they last emi-
grated. The totals are—Assisted immigrants, 45,477 ;
unassisted immigrants, 79,187. Grand total, 94,664.
We notice a very remarkable contrast, in regard to sex
and age, between the two classes, which will be best
shown by the following comparison :
Unassisted immigrants. Immigrants assisted.
Ratio per cent. Ratio per cent.
No. of the whole. No of the whole.
Male adults .... 62,906 ... 80
Female adults. 9,072 ... 11
Children 7,209 ... 9 ...... 5,125 ... 34

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

-----
(From, the Leeds Mercury of Saturday. )
LEEDS, March 25.—We have no change to report in
the state of the woollen cloth market since our last week's
notice. There has been an average business done in the
Cloth-halls, and during the week several deliveries, as
usual, direct to the warehouses. The present aspect of
affairs induces the greatest caution on the part of buyers
visiting this market, although they purchase sparingly
and apparently nothing beyond their present require-
ments, yet there oontinues to be a fair steady trade done
in the warehouses.
HUDDERSFIELD, March 21.—There has not been
much doing in the Cloth-hall, but that must by no
means be taken as an indication that business generally
is at a very low ebb. At present there is a good deal
doing to order ; stocks are ligh.L, and considering the
State of political affairs just now, trade is fully better
than could be expected under the circumstances.
ROCHDALE, March 21.—We have not had so dull a
market this year as to-day. There is little inquiry for
goods, and but few pieces have been sold. The wool
market is at a stand almost ; prices are lower, except in
very low-priced English wools, which continue extremely
scarce.

LAW LNTELLi'VENCE.—March 25.

INSOLTENT L►EBTORS' COURT.

BETTING-OFFICES; IN THE -MATTER OF HENRY AUGUSTUS

NEWOOMBE.

This insolvent, described abs a bill broker, and occa-
sionally a " betting agent," applied to be discharged
from prison.
Mr. Sargood supported. There was no opposition.
Mr. Commissioner ,Phillips asked the insolvent whe-
ther betting offices wer,,zt all done up ?
Insolvent---I believe so, Sir.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips—So much the better for
you and the public too.
The insolvent owed 8301. and upwards, of whioh
3401. were without considerkkion..

Mr. Commissioner Phillipst told him he was in great
luck in not being opposed,
Mr. Sargood—He is.
_ Mr. Commissioner Phillips intt.)rmed him that had any
of his creditors opposed, the debts with out consideration
would have been a bar to his discha.rge. As the credi-
tors had not thought proper to oppooe, he should not
oppose him.

The insolvent acknowledged the absence of his cre-
ditors.

His Honour added that he was certainly in great luck,
for he could assure him that if he had been opposed, it
would have been his duty to have remanded him for
some time.

The insolvent was then ordered to be discharged

[We are requested by Mr. Thomas Newcome, late of
the Imperial Club, in Wellington-street, to state that he
is not the party whose case is given above. Though their
Christian names are quite distinct, he has been by many
mistaken fur the insolvent.]

DRURY LANE THEATRE.

Saturday evening was the termination of Mr.
Brooke's engagement, and the closing night of the
winter season. We have, therefore, bid farewell for a
long period to the eminent tragedian, who is about to
depart shortly to the shores of the isTew World. As
might well be expected on such an occasion the house was
literally crowded to suffocation. Mr. Brooke played
Hamlet, and was received with unbounded enthusiasm.
The applause was incessant. At the end of the great
scene between Hamlet and the Queen, he was loudly
called for after he had left the stage ; and he was twice
called for at the end of the play. Each time he was
received with deafening shouts, and bouquets were
showered upon him as upon a prima donna at the
Italian Opera. We expected a speech from him, but
he contented himself with the mute eloquence of look
and gesture.
__

M. Brooke will carry with him the good wishes of
great numbers who admire the histrionic art, who
will remember him as an actor gifted with many qualifi-
cations for the loftiest walks of his profession, and one
whom all must acknowledge has singularly devoted him-
self to the noble art he professes. His London career
must be a source of great pleasure to him, it having been
triumphantly successful and peculiar, in calling back to
the national theatre a greater succession of crowded.
audiences than have been known for many years. We
sincerely wish him " good speed" in the other hemi-
sphere._

Mr. Smith, the lessee, was also called for after the
play, and loudly applauded. This gentleman has cer-
tainly the merit of being the only manager, for many
years, who has been able not only to keep the greatest
of the English theatres regularly open, but to carry on
its business with success.
London, England, 1854-03-27

DUNGARVAN ELECTION COMMITTEE.

The committee sat on Saturday from 11 to 4.
Mrs. Mary Power, landlady of the Black Eagle, was
examined by Mr. E. James, Q.C., about a supper
which was given to about 50 at her house the night
before the polling-day, for which she charged 201. She
had an account with Mr. Macguire for his journal, the
Cork Examiner, to which she was a subscriber ; and, in
settling that account, 51. was deducted for the paper,
and the other 151. handed her.

Miss Eiiza Curren said she managed a public•house
and coal shop kept by her mother in Abbeyside, Dun-
garvan. Mr. James subjected this witness to a long
examination about an account for 151. or 161. worth of
spirits, porter, &c. due to her by one Andrew Drohan.
She could not say whether she sent Drohan's bill to the
man himself or to Mr. Macguire ; but the money was
handed her one day by her mother, who said she had
got it from some of Mr. Macguire's people.
The evidence of James Byrne was refused, as, con-
trary to the order, he had been in the room during part
of the proceedings.
Further evidence as to corrupt treating at the election
in 1852 will be adduced this day at noon.

POST-BOXES IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON AND WHITE-
CROSS- STREET PRISON. -It will be remembered, as stated
in the Time?, that some time back the authorities of the
Post-office removed the post-boxes at the Queen's Prison
and Whitecross-street Prison, where they had been
placed for a number of years. The prisoners complained
of their removal, and the keepers of the prisons repre-
sented the matter to the Post-office. It was however,
determined that the boxes should be discontinued
Since their removal a good deal of inconvenience had
been experienced, and, after much consideration, it has
been resolved that the prisoners shall have the privilege
restored, and the boxes are to be forthwith placed as
heretofore. It is expected that their restoration will
take place at the beginning of the ensuing month.—
Times.

ARRIVALS OF BULLION.—The arrivals of bullion dur-
ing the week, including the gold by the Sydney, have
amounted to about 460,000/ , of which about 60,0001.
was silver. The exports are' estimated at about the
same sum, almcst entirely hi gold to the Continent.
Yesterday was the birthday of the Duke of Cam-
bridge. His Royal Highness paid visits to the Duchess
of Kent and the other members of the royal family.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SOU'I:7-EASTERN,
We published in our ii.npression of Saturday the fact
e shareholders at the that the recent vote of ti:`
half-
yearly meeting had resultea in the removal of Mr.
Macgregor from the office of doirman of the company,
and that he had resigned his duties as managing
director.
The very skilful policy which has char'acteris'ed 111(r.
Macgregor's conduct in the various Parliannentaiy co al-,
tests, in which the best interests have been so ser jou: sly
and frequently jeopardised, is admitted by all who 112 ore
paid attention to the progress of our railway syk ten],
and the ability he has displayed in his managemei tt of
the financial affairs of the undertaking and the tr affic
of the line is equally unquestionable. Few other rail-
way companies have had to contend against such infix sen-
tial oppositions as have assailod the South-Eastern p ro-
prietors ; and we believe we are correct in saying, 1 ;1 tat
there is scarcely any railway mai in the kingdom Iho
could have so energetically met ,and so successful Ily
overcome them as did Mr. Macgregor. But for yea re
past Mr. Macgregor has been (Amon ous to a sectit on
of the shareholders, who felt themselves aggrieved at
what they deemed his dictatorial treatrin'nt, not on ly
of their own friends at the board, but, as Choy declare d,
of every member of the direction. ' The opposition of
many of this section has been of the most porsonal a nd
persevering character, and although it has, on ma ny
occasions, been singularly unsuccessful in its re ~.37n1 ts,
yet the new directors who were voted in at the xte
half-yearly meeting, may be fairly said to owe, in a
.gri
measure, their seats to the long-continued and yi.tup e-
rative opposition waged against Mr. Macgregor by' th '0
section of shareholders alluded to, and amongst win )m, •
we believe, we could find several railway hangers- •on
whose railway antecedents are not associated with a ve. ry
large amount of disinterestedness. At the same
we beg to observe that we do not, in the remotest de- •
gree, impute any connection between the new directors
and the section of shareholders to whom we have al-
luded.

We are pleased to notice that Mr. Macgregor, in re-
tiring from the office of managing director, " assures
the shareholders of his unabated desire to promote the
best interests of the company."—Morning Herald.

SPAIN.

Advices of the 20th from Madrid says the Queen
is to leave at the commencement of April for Aran-
juez, where she will pass the spring.
Rumours of a Ministerial crisis have been cur-
rent, but they are quite unfounded. In the last
Council of Ministers concessions of different lines of
railway were made. Amongst them was one from
Balnuz y Ezpiel to Cordova, which will be -very
useful to the coal mines. The concession is made
to Count de Santa Olalla, son of the Minister of
Finance in 1834. This gentleman is about to leave
for Paris and London, to make arrangements for
commencing the works.
Advices of the 21st speak of a visit of Queen
Christina to Paris.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY-)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
MERCANTILE FAILURE--IN RE SHIELDS•

This bankrupt had carried on business as a merchant
in Lime•sereet, City, and traded under the style or firm

for his last examination.
The balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. Robinson and
Knowles, Basinghall-street, commencing 7th January,
1849, and extends to Nor. 1853, and shows debtors to
creditors, 3,4161. 18s. 3d. ; to ditto holding security,

personal, 1,880/.
The bankrupt was examined at some length as to
certain shares on Californian mines which it was alleged
had not been accounted for in the balance-sheet, but
the entries were pointed out.
Mr. Whitmore, the officiaassignee, l considered that
the bankrupt had given all the information he could,
and no benefit would arise bpyasnLf.urther adjournment.
The bankrupt thereupon passed.

THE SCOTS FUSILEERS.—The Simoom, with the Scots
Fusileer Guards arrived on the 18th inst. at Malta, all
well.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 26.—The ship Maitland, from
Sydney, and steamer Ann, from New Zealand, have ar-
rived off Falmouth, with mails, which were sent on to
London by this evening's mail train.
s7;ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN FOR THE WARD OF
CHEAP.--On Saturday a wardmote was held, under the
presidency of the Lord Mayor, in the church of St. Law-
rence Jewry, for the election of an alderman in the room
of the late Mr. Alderman Thompson. Mr. Cuthbert
proposed Mr. Jonathan Thorpe, nephew of the late
Alderman Thorpe, and his nomination was seconded by
Mr. John Hall. Mr. W. H. Ashurst proposed Mr.
Richard Hartley Kennedy, and he was seconded by Mr.
Connell. No other person being put in nomination
both the candidates addressed the wardmote. A show
of hands was then taken, and the Lord Mayor decided
that the majority had voted for Mr. Keuriedy.--This
morning it was announced officially that Mr. Kennedy
had been elected—Mr. Thorpe, the other candidate
haying resigned.
