THE PROPOSED PILOT BILL.—At a meeting yesterday
of the Pilot Committee of Liverpool, the Mayor (Samuel
Holmede, Esq.) presiding, a petition to the House of
Commons was adopted, praying that a deputation might
be heard in opposition to the proposed bill, but especi-
ally to the clauses proposing to grant pilots certificates
to masters and mates of ships.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—LIVERPOOL, April 4.—The
quantity of gold brought by the passengers on board the
Great Britain, was very large, almost every passenger
having from 1501. to 2,0001. in his possession, which
was in most cases placed in charge of the chief officer.
The Great Britain brought 135,000 ounces on freight.
Six passengers who went out by the ship have returned
by her, and all give a most favourable account of her,
both as regards the ship herself and the accommodation
on board. They have written a letter to Messrs. Gibbs
Bright, and Co., congratulating them upon the success
of the voyage, and speaking warmly in praise of the
ship. Some f them are again going out by her next
voyage. Captain Matthews, Mr. Cox (first officer), and
Mr. Grey (second officer) have each received testimonials
from the passengers. The success of the various pas-
sengers by the Great Britain was very curious. One
man had made 20,0001. in 10 months by keeping a
public-house in Melbourne ; another upwards of 30,0001.
by a circus, in a short space of time. A sailor who had
deserted from a ship had 2,0001. with him ; and a com-
mon carter rather above that amount. One passenger
displayed a lump of pure gold weighing upwards of 81b.
and valued at 4001., which he had picked up with his
own hand. The ship brought some wool from Sydney
and the Cape, and 500 boxes oranges from St. Michael's.
The specie has all been placed in the Branch Bank of
England.
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET. The commercial
advices from New York describe no further change
as regards the money market, except an increasing feel-
ing that a rapid reaction from the recent panic was SOOTI
to be looked for. Meanwhile, although the lowest rate
of discount was 7 per cent., there bad still been
no
failures, nor were any apprehended. Bills on England
o
continued to be pressed on the market, in order to raise
funds for immediate wants, and henceantdhere was a fur-
change,

RP-Aeenielnteresting discussion
took place at the London Farmers' Club, last night,
upon the economy and advantage of covered farmmr build-
ings.m:
Cheffins,
The subject was ably
introduced
of 62, Moorgate-street, and spokeri to by Mr.
Fisher Hobbs, Mr. Robert Baker,
Mr. Sherer, Mr.
Jackson, and other gentlemen. The discussion termi-
nated with the adoption of the following resolution :
" That after the variety of systems advocated this even-
ing, the club will not undertake to recommend any one
in particular ; the great point being to adapt the build-
ings to the occupation they may be erected on ; soil,
it
linaate, and situation being carefully considered." The
resolution Was agreed to amidst groat laughter.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE,

A projet de loi is at the present moment under
the consideration of the Council of State, which
creates some surprise here. The object of it is to
grant a pension to the Princess de la Moskowa,
widow of the unfortunate Marshal Ney ; but it not
only grants her the pension for the future, but gives
her all the arrears from the day of Marshal Ney's
execution. The amount of the arrears is calculated
at 336,000 f. The family of Marshal Ney have cer,
tainly gained by the restoration of the Empire.
The Prince de la Moskowa is a senator ; two of the
members of the family are receivers general : and
others are provided with well-paid charges at Court,
besides the high rank in the army to which they
have been promoted.
Letters from Venice state that the Comte de
Chambord was to leave that city about the 20th of
April, after having had an interview with the Em-
peror of Austria, who was expected to arrive in
Venice on the 10th.

Mr. Edward Dubeuf, the eminent portrait
painter, is at present finishing a fall-length por-
trait of the Empress for the Exhibit:on, which is
to open here on the 15th of May. This is the only
authorized portrait•made of her Majesty since her
marriage.
Yesterday morning the Emperor and Empress
heard mass in the chapel of the Tuileries. After
the mass their Majesties were present at a review
of several regiments about quitting Paris. His
Majesty distributed a number of crosses and medals. '
The accounts from Lower Italy are without par-
ticular interest. At Rome the projected voyage
of the Pope to Paris seems to have met with im-
pediments both from Austria and the Sacro Col-
legio. It is reported that Cardinal Antonelli, who
strongly opposes this trip, finds his position of
Secretary of State somewhat undermined by French
interests.

At the Bourse yesterday the general rise that
took place in the funds on Saturday was not main-
tained. The Three per Cents., for cash, fell 20c.,
and for the account, 15c. The Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., for cash, advanced 10c. on the closing
price of Saturday ; and Bank Stock, 15f. The
market, before the close of business, had assumed
a generally firm tone. The following are the closing
prices :—For cash : Three per Cents., 79f. 50c. ;
Four-and-a. Half per Cents., 103 f. 40c. For the
account : Three per Cents., 79f. 50c. ; Four-and-
a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 20c.; Bank Stock, 2,690 f.
