MONEY MARKET

AND
OOA Z:l4 C., L 1 iv TELL] NCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at from 6,000 to 8,000 bales, including
2,000 taken for export and on speculation. The
market closed tamely but steady. Railway Shares
were dull.

In the weekly statement of the Bank of England,
made up to the 10th instant, there is, as was
expected, a reduction in the amount of bullion, but
it is very trivial. The notes in circulation were
diminished, notwithstanding a large increase in
the discounts, owing to the addition made to the
public and private deposits. The Government
Securities were added to, but whether by pur-
chasers or by the taking of Exchequer-bills or
bonds under arrangement with Mr. Gladstone, or
by advances upon stock, is matter for conjecture.
The demand upon the Bank for accommodation to
the mercantile and other classes, had evidently not
slackened. Compared with the previous week, the
changes are as follows :

The rates of exchange for bills upon the princi-
pal continental cities were lower yesterday after-
noon. Paris, 20 days, was at 25, 20 to 25 ;
Amsterdam, at 11. 161 to 17i ; iTamburght at 13

The amount of revenue at the control of the
Honourable East India Campany, with the charges
of the home and local establishments, the debt and
other items connected with the finances of the
country, presents a state of affairs satisfactory in
many respects, and the details are instructive to
all who take an interest in them.
The gross receipts from the ordinary revenues of
all the presidencies and territories were for the
year 1851-2, 17,001,1711., collected at a cost of
about 9i per cent. From salt the receipts in addi-
tion were 2,753,1051., but from this there are de-
ductions of 784,3931., to be made. From opium,
the revenue was 3,993,5421., the Stamp Duties
yielded 472,0271. The cost of collecting the salt
tax seems to be about 191. per cent., and of that
upon opium nearly 26} per cent. Allowing for a
gain of 189,6701. by the exchange with reference
to the fixed rate of 2s. per Sicca Rupee, on remit-
tance transactions between India and London, the
total revenue receipts of all the Presidencies was
26,189,4281., and to collect this, cost 3,511,492/.
The Eastern settlements, including the Prince of
Wales Island, Singapore, and Malacca, gave only
60,6861. of the above total revenue. The district
of Coorg yielded 17,5521. the territory ceded by the
Burmese 235,427/., the North-Western Provinces a
net receipt of 5,670,7151., and the Punjaub and
Trans-Indus territory of 892,1111.
The amount of interest payable on the public
debts outstanding at the several Presidencies of
ludia on the 30th April, 1852, was 'as fellows :

ST. PETERSBURG.

An ordinance has just appeared at St. Peters-
burg respecting the treatment of prisoners of war,
but which, from the date of its publication, would
have reference only to Turkey. Tule, Orel, Thirsk,
and Kaluga, are named as the central depots. But
renegades and refugees are, if officers, to receive
only the treatment of common soldiers, and they
have also a special place of sejour assigned them.
Such prisoners as shall prove themselves or be
proved to be Austrian subjects, aro to be delivered
over to the nearest frontier station of the Austrian
empire.

tion. The Bombay transport, a fine vessel of 1,200
tons, arrived on Friday in Queenstown for conveyance
of this regiment.

Some four-wheeled hospital waggons were yesterday
despatched from the manufactory of the Messrs.
Holmes, at Derby, to Woolwich, whence they will be
immediately shipped to the seat of war. The body of
each waggon is divided into compartments, fitted to
receive four severely-injured men, in a recumbent posi-
tion, on easy and commodious stretchers, and the front
locker has seats upon it to accommodate six men, leas
disabled. The whole is hung upon long elastic springs,
which on very uneven roads will be relieved by contact
with india-rubber buffers ; the sides of the waggons fold
down, and form convenient receptacles for bedding and
stretchers during their transit by water. The method of
detaching and packing the wheels, undercarriages,
canopies, medicine chebts, &c., is very convenient and
simple.

LATEST FOR NEWS.

DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS.

FIVE HUNDRED MEN KILLED.

The Moniteur of this morning (Tuesday) states,
that on the 16th inst. a sharp engagement took
place before Kalafat, between the Russian and
Turkish forces. The Russians were driven back as
far as Maglavitz, with a loss of nearly 500 men.
The Turks had 14 men killed and 33 wounded.

BOMBARDMENT OF ODESSA.

The Lloyd has advices from Brody of the 21st,
in which it states that a steamer and 12 ships of
the line were off Odessa, and that 3 Russian coast-
ers had been captured. An English steamer, sent
with a flag of truce to fetch the English and French
Consuls, had been fired into.
The Consuls had been sent away by the Russians,
and reached Constantinople on the Bth.

The Presse states that Odessa has been bom-
barded, that the Russian strand batteries caused
some damage to the ships, but were at last
silenced. A part of the city was in flames. This
requires confirmation.
ODESSA, April 12.—A division of the Allied Fleet
has re-appeared in force before this town. A
blockade is evidently intended ; and the inhabi-
tants fully expect it.
London, England, 1854-04-25

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, APRIL 21.—Baron Hess having for-
mally insisted on the necessity of an energetic de-
claration that should put a stop to the hesitation
of the Prussian Cabinet, the effect was seen in the
signature of the treaty yesterday, without the in-
sertion of the clause which would have bound
Austria by anticipation, or have been favourable
to Russia. A period of four weeks has been fixed
within which the ratifications must be exchanged,
and the treaty will then be communicated to the
German Governments, in order that they may ac-
cede to it. Thirteen articles determine the degree
of assistance which the two Powers shall recip-
rocally afford to each other, and the mode in which
it is to be afforded. It is said that three secret
articles are appended to the treaty.
Preparations are already being made for the
nuptials of Princess Louisa, daughter of Prince
Charles of Prussia—one of the fairest as she per-
haps is the most gentle and amiable lady in
Europe—with Prince Alexis of Hesse-Philippstahl.
The small palace of Monbijou, of which the King
most kindly accorded a detached wing to be con-
verted into an English chapel, is to be fitted up as
a residence for the young bridal couple. This
small palace was originally erected by Frederick
I. for his celebrated consort, Sophia Charlotte of
Hanover. At her death it was presented by the
King to the notorious • Countess of Warn berg,
from whom it was purchased by the Crowten, when
her husband, long an omnipotent Minister and
favourite, was disgraced and banished.

DESCRIPTION of ARTIFIC [AL TEETH, fixed without springs,

any teeth ever before used. 'fhis method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any pairifid operation, and will suppart and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, slid. is guaranteed to restore articulation

THE WEATHER IN THE BALTIC.

Subjoined are the latest advices received in re-
ference to the state of the navigation in the
Baltic :

REVEL, April 11.—The following vessels have got
into Baltic Port, via., Ostsee, Voss, from Leith ; Flying
Childers, White, from London ; and the Soglasie,
Fischer, from Messina. The bay there was yesterday
quite free of ice. Here, to the westward of Wulff and
Kakomeggi Point, there is open water.
BOLDERAA, April 14.—The ice in the gulf continues
to hold fast to the coast.
15Tm.—Twenty-seven vessels are in sight in the ice.
Wind, S.W. Depth of water in the fair-way, 143 feet
Dutch. The ice on the Duna began to move this day
at noon. The weather is ♦ery mild.

AUSTRIA.

Yesterday (Monday) the marriage of the Aus-
trian Emperor with the Princess Elizabeth o
Bavaria was solemnised in the church of St. Augus-
tine at Vienna. Besides the imperial family, the
Cardinal Archbishop of Prague, the Archbishop of
Olmutz, the Primate of Hungary, Cardinal Von
Scitowsky, the Prince Archbishop of Gratz, Field-
Marshal Radetsky, the Ban Jellachich, Baron Hess,
nearly all the chief dignitaries of the empire and the
diplomatic corps were present. The Czar sent
General Grunwald, from St. Petersburg, expressly
to congratulate the Emperor.
Yesterday was kept as a holiday at the Vienna
Bourse, but the quotations of Saturday were de-
pressed, and the increase of anxiety is unmistakeably
shown in a further considerable rise in the exchange
on London and in the premium on the precious
metals. Gold has risen to 414 per cent. prem.
This shows such a ruinous depreciation of Austrian
paper as has not been observed at any former period
of the Russo-Turkish quarrel.
London, England, 1854-04-25

EXPORTATION OF ARMS.

From the supplemental Gazette, published last
night, we extract the following :
At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 24th day of
April, 1854,

By the Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy

Council.
The Lords of the Council, having taken into consi-
deration certain applications for leave to export various
articles, of which the exportation is prohibited by her
Majesty's Proclamation of the 18th February, 1854, are
pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the of-
ficers of her Majesty's Customs do not hereafter prevent
'the export of any articles except only—
Gunpowder, saltpetre, and brimstone.
Arms and ammunition.
Marine engines and boilers, and the component parts
thereof.
And that such last-named articles be prohibited from
export only when destined to any place in Europe north
of Dunkirk, or to any place in the Mediterranean Sea
east of Malta; and that the officers of her Majesty's
Customs do permit the export of the said enumerated
articles to any other part of the world, upon taking,
from the persons exporting the same, a bond that they
shall be landed and entered at the port of destination.
Whereof the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's
Treasury, and officers of her Majesty's Customs, and all
other persons whom it may concern, are to take notice
and govern themselves accordingly. _

NOTICE TO NARINERS.

Notice has been given that a lighthouse will be erected
on Winga Rocks, alongside of the lighthouse already there,
which will be furnished with a lantill light of the fourth
order, similar to the light which will be placed on Koster
during the present summer, and will be lighted in the be-
ginning of autumn next. The light on Baskaret, situated
inside of Wings, will then show red, instead of white,
window-glasses.

THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN, APRIL 24.—The statement that
the Russians had evacuated Aland is now alleged to
be untrue ; on the contrary, the garrison has been
reinforced by several hundred riflemen. Thirty
war ships have sailed past Sandhamin, steering
northwards. One division of British ships is in the
Gulf of Bothnia, examining the coast of Finland,
preparatory to blockading the ports. Another
division is in the Gulf of Finland for the same
purpose.

The whole French fleet arrived yesterday in
Kioge Bay.
LAURVIG (NORWAY), APRIL 17.—The Norwe-
gian squadron is under orders to put to sea, from
Hasten, on the 19th init., to join the Swedish
squadron at Karlscrona.
LUBECK, APRIL 18.—The captain of a vessel
arrived here yesterday from Calmar, reports that
he saw a war steamer off Moen, with barques in
tow, apparently Finlanders.
The Stettin, (Mast Sea) Journal contains the fol-
lowing under the head of " Memel" (19th), rela-
tive to the capture of the small trading vessels by
the Conflict, and the fatal accident which deprived
her Majesty's service of a distinguished officer and
four picked seamen :
"Besides the Industrie (1141, master), the Russian
craft John (Jost), Katherina Charlotte (Kaling), and
Carl Magnus (Rasmus), which left this port for Riga
on the 16th, were brought in here under the English
flag and by English crews. All the (Russian) crews
of these vessels were taken on board the Conflict, whence
two women, a young boy, and a Prussian pilot were
put on shore and liberated. The Conflict has remained
at anchor off our port since yesterday. Capt. Foote, her
commander, landed this forenoon, accompanied 14. an
officer. About 5 p.m. he prepared to return on board.
In consequence of the strong north-western that have
prevailed, blowing right against the Haf current, the
breakers between the two jetties were extremely dange-
rous. The chief pilot here consequently, but vainly,
urged Captain Foote to take a larger boat. He per-
sisted in pulling off in his long but narrow gig,
accompanied by a lieutenant and five men. Ten
minutes had not elapsed, however, ere the boat was
capsized and disappeared before the eyes of the spectators.
The safety boat was got afloat with incredible speed,
manned with pilots, and pushed off, but it arrived too
late—only two persons, the lieutenant and one sailor,
were picked up in a state of exhaustion. The captain, a
powerfully made man, and four sailors, had found a
watery grave."
The value of the different prizes taken by our
vessels already is estimated at between 70,0001. or
80,0001. sterling. If our steam fleet were increased
by vessels drawing little water, but duly and
powerfully armed, there is little doubt that our
brave sailors would rapidly pick up wherewithal to
recompense them fur the perils they will have to
encounter, in a navigation as capricious as it is
dangerous.

CHART OF THE BALTIC.
BY JAMES WYLD.

There is no interruption or pause whatever to
Mr. Wyld's enterprise—now that the war with
Russia has fairly commenced. In proof of this we
have here an admirable coloured Chart of the
Baltic, as a companion to his previous works of a
similar kind representing the whole of toe coasts of
the Euxine and of the Mediterranean. The pre-
sent map extends northwards as far as Wasa in
Finland and southwards as far as Dresden and
Cologne, eastwards to St. Petersburg and west-
wards to Portsmouth—including, in fact, besides
the Baltic or East Sea, the Gobs of Finland and
Livonia. At a moment such as the present, it is
scarcely possible to exaggerate the interest with
Which we cannot but pore over the chart of those
Seas where the gallant tars of England and France
are advancing under the orders of Napier and Par-
seval-Deschenes against the common enemy of liberty
and civilisation. Mr. Wyld, in his admirable series
of maps, enables his countrymen to follow step by
step, the united armaments of Western Europe in
this movement towards the strongholds of the
northern Autocracy. By so doing, it is needless
to add he is applying to noble purposes his enter-
prise as a man of business and his skill as a geo•
grapher.

TEE THEATRE OF WAR.
A MAP BY JAMES WYLD.

A sixpenny map of the " Seat of War" has com-
pleted the whole range of Mr. Wyld's admirably-
timed publications. A sixpenny map, mirabile
dicta, embracing in one ample view—the Baltic—
the Black Sea—Russia, Turkey, Austria, Prussia,
and the Mediterranean ! Incomparably the cheapest,
this masterly sketch of the whole theatre of war,
extending from England to the confines of Hindos-
tan, is, in many respects, one of the very best even
among the costlier productions of a similar kind
recently issued from Mr. Wyld's establishment.

(From the Daily News.)

A day 'or two ago we had an Imperial declaration
from St. Petersburg ; to-day we have a circular
addressed to the diplomatic agents of Russia, and
signed Nesselrode, which follows in the wake of the
other as Sancho Panza ambled after Don Quixote.
At an early period of the Turco-Russian disputes,
our ministers embraced an opportunity to pro-
nounce glowing eulogiums upon the pacific and
justice-loving disposition of Count Nesselrode, and
it has since become the fashion to panegyrise him
on all occasions as the one reasonable and honest
man in the St. Petersburg Cabinet. That Count
Nesselrode—who is not what the Germans call a
" StoCk-Russian," and has long and
frequently
mingled in civilised society—should be fully aware
of the preposterous character of his master's claims,
and the hollowness of the overweening estimate
that master has formed of the resources at his Com-
mand, and that Count Nesselrode in consequence
may have at sundry times whispered prudent cau-
tions in the Imperial ear, is possible. Still the fact
is obvious, that not a falsehood has been ventured
by the Russian Government which Count Nessel-
rode has not endorsed ; not an act of outrageous
injustice_ has been perpetrated by it which Count
Nesselrode has not attempted to present in an ex-
tenuating light ; not an Old Bailey.quibble of Rus-
sian diplomacy that Count Nesselrode has not shar-
pened his wits to sustain by argument. He has been
throughout the most forward, unscrupulous, literary
hack of his master ; and if all the while he has
known better, his moral degradation, as compared
with the. Menschikoffg—who can at least plead a
certain rude ignorance in extenuation of their bra.
tality—is only the deeper. Other Russian

day. Caledonian, 26$ ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 6C4'
Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport, 9A ; London and North

BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 24.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—The transactions in this market 10;
day were in local stocks, which are just now a great deal
in demand, especially Bank shares.

LEEDS, APRIL 24.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—This was carrying over day, and
is often the case on that day, very little business was done'
Transactions were chiefly in Lancashire and Yorkshires,
which, both at the first and the noon meeting, were don!
at 641, being a slight improvement upon the quotations 01
Saturday last. Other shares in the absence of business are
nominally as on Saturday.

ascertained that a number of the inhabitants had •
been killed, and others most brutally treated, by
the ba,shi-bazouks, or Turkish irregulars. Some
wounded were taken on board the Firebrand,
which conveyed them to Baldchik ; and among
others, one man. with a sad gash across his throat,
a woman badly wounded in the breast and side,
and even two children badly wounded, one not
more than eight months old, the other two and a-
half years of age ; so that these poor wretches have
not only to fear the enemy, but their very defen-
ders, these bashi-bazouks ! The people of the
Bazarjie have sent to Varna for means of trans-
, port to remove what little property they have
before these plundering irregulars despoil them of
it. The Firebrand, after communicating with the
admirals, left on the 3d to rejoin her consorts the
Sidon and Magellan. News reached the fleets on
the morning of the 4th, by the Inflexible, of the
arrival of the first French troops at Gallipoli, dates
from which place to the Bth of April announce up
to that time no other British arrivals, save the
Rifles and two companies of Sappers and Miners,
under Brigadier-General Brown, on the 6th, in the
Golden Fleece, from Malta ; and five French
steamers, with 2,810 rank and file (Zouaves and
Chasseurs d'Orleans) from Algeria. The Taliiri
Bahri, Turkish steamer, had arrived from Volo,
with four chiefs and 150 Greek prisoners, part of a
band of insurgents routed outside the town of Volo.
THE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE AT MALTA.—Com-
missary-General Routh, with several other officers,
reached Malta on the 13th of April in the Colombo.
The Valetta arrived at the same time from Mar-
seilles, but did not bring any officers either British
or French. The Colombo left for Alexandria on
the same evening, and was to be followed by the
Valetta, taking a portion of the Indus's cargo, on
the next day.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The performances of the Royal Opera last week were,
it appears, only preliminary to the commencement of
the subscription season, which began last night with the
Lucrezia Borgia of Donizetti. Some further notifica-
tion of the plans and arrangements of the management
has now been published. In addition to the artistes
already stated to be engaged, we are to have, it seems,
Madame Doria, Madame Koster, Miss Fanny Huddart,
Herr Reichart, Herr Peez, Herr Theodore Formes,
Hear Pischek, and some others of inferior note. Be-
sides Lindpainter, the conductorship will be in the oc-
casional bands of Herr Anschiitz, Mr. Lovell Phillips,
and Dr. Wylde. Altogether a large and imposing vocal
force has been collected. Every department seems to
have been provided for without stint, and the experi-
ment of a cheap opera is certainly on the eve of being
fairly and liberally tried. We shall be glad to see so
large and onerous an undertaking prosper ; and if public
events, now in a very doubtful and critical position, are
not unfavourable, the probabilities of success are strong.
The Lucrezia Borgia of Madame Caradori was one of
the most successful personations of that lady in 1853.
Her Lucrezia Borgia was given last night, when
there were two first appearances, Mr. Hamilton Bra-
ham, the son of the celebrated English tenor, as
Don Alfonso, and Mademoiselle Vestvali, as Maffio
Orsini. Both were very successful —the lady most
particularly so—and we shall be glad to hear both in
parts which afford more scope for display. Mr. H.
Braham will doubtless prove a serviceable stage bass,
and Mdlle. Vestvali will certainly become an acquisition
to the Drury-lane company. She has a fine contralto
voice and considerable vocal acquirements, and being
tall, handsome, and graceful in her movements, made a
decided impression on the audience, obtaining a double
encore in the celebrated "II segreto." Mdlle. Vestvali,
is said to be, by birth, a Pole, and a pupil of Merca:
dante. After singing at concerts in Naples and Florence,
she made her first essay on the stage last autumn at the
Scala in Milan. Her principal successes were in Verdi's
opera 11 Trovatore, which was given 32 nights in suc-
cession, and as Romeo, in I Capuletti i Montecch,i.
Madame Caradori, as Lucrezia, sang and acted with her
usual impassioned energy, and fully sustained the repu-
tation she has acquired. The house was erowded, and
the opera, which was received with great applause
throughout, and ended with a recall for Madame Cara-
dori and the principal performers, was followed by a
slight ballet divertissement called Les Favorites du
Sultan.

THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN, APRIL 24.—The statement that
the Russians had evacuated Aland is now alleged to
be untrue ; on the contrary, the garrison has been
reinforced by several hundred riflemen. Thirty
war ships have sailed past Sandhamin, steering
northwards. One division of Britith ships is in the
Gulf of Bothnia, examining the coast of Finland,
preparatory to blockading the ports. Another
division is in the Gulf of Finland for the same
purpose.

The whole French fleet arrived yesterday in
Kioge Bay.
LAußvm (NoßwAy), APRIL 17.—The Norwe-
gian squadron is under orders to put to sea, from
Hosten, on the 19th inst., to join the Swedish
squadron at Karlscrona.

LUBECK, APRIL 18.—The captain of a vessel
arrived here yesterday from Calmar, reports that
he saw a war steamer off Moen, with barques in
tow, apparently Finlanders.
The Stettin (Past Sea) Journal contains the fol-
lowing under the head of " Memel" (19th), rela-
tive to the capture of the small trading vessels by
the Conflict, arid the fatal accident which deprived
her Majesty's service of a distinguished officer and
four picked seamen :--
"Besides the Industrie (Fuhl, master), the Russian
craft John (Jost), Katbarina Charlotte (Kaling), and
Carl Magnus (Rasmus), which left this port for Riga
on the 16th, were brought in here under the English
flag and by English crews. All the (Russian) crews
of these vessels were taken on board the Conflict, whence
two women, a young boy, and a Prussian pilot were
put on shore and liberated. The Conflict has remained
at anchor off our port since yesterday. Capt. Foote, her
commander, landed this forenoon, accompanied by an
officer. About 5 p.m. he prepared to return on board.
In consequence of the strong north-welters that have
prevailed, blowing right against the Haf current, the
breakers between the two jetties were extremely dange-
rous. The chief pilot here consequently, but vainly,
urged Captain Foote to take a larger boat. He per-
sisted in pulling off in his long but narrow gig.
accompanied by a lieutenant and five men. Ten
minutes had not elapsed, however, ere the boat was
capsized and disappeared before the eyes of the spectators.
The safety boat was got afloat with incredible speed.
manned with pilots, and pushed off, but it arrived too
late—only two persons, the lieutenant and one sailor,
were picked up in a state of exhaustion. The captain, a
powerfully made man, and four sailors, had found a
watery grave."

The value of the different prizes taken by our
vessels already is estimated at between 70,0001. or
80,0001. sterling. If our steam fleet were increased
by vessels drawing little water, but duly and
powerfully armed, there is little doubt that our
brave sailors would rapidly pick up wherewithal to
recompense them for the perils they will have to
encounter, in a navigation as capricious as it is
dangerous.

TWO MORE RUSSIAN PRIZES

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY, 10.30 A.M.

The Argus crew Revenue steamer, Commander
Grandy, is now towing in a Russian brig, which
she has made prize of in the Channel. The Argus
received information of her prize being in the
Channel from a Cowes pilot, who spoke her.

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY MORNING

Last evening a Brixharn trawl sloop arrived here
with intelligence that she had left a second sloop,
in company with a Russianbarque, off Start Point.
This morning the Port Admiral and the Collector
of Customs having been in communication with
each other, the Government steam-tug Confiance
was despatched at an early hour to secure the
prize. She is reported to be laden with salt and
saltpetre, from St. Übes for Finland, and has a
compliment of 13 men.
