SEEDS.

The demand for linseed continues steady, and last week's
prices are well supported. Bombay is selling at 61s to 625,
Calcutta 69s to 60s, and St. Petersburgh 56s to 58s per
quarter. We have a slow sale for rapeseed, yet the quota-
tious are tolerably firm, Most other articles command
previous rates.

DEER FOR WINDSOR GREAT PARK.- Nearly one
hundred head of fallow deer have just arrived at Windsor
by the South-Western Railway from Cricklcwood Forest,
under the consignment of Mr. Herring, and consist of
does and bucks of choice breed and great beauty. After
being placed in the royal paddocks to recover the effects
of their journey they will be turned into Windsor Great
Park, for the purpose of crossing the present breed
there.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.

Since Monday last the arrivals of potatoes by railway
have increased. The imports have amounted to 136 tons
from Rotterdam, and 20 ditto from Belfast. We have a
fair demand at this market, and the quotations are as
follows : —Kent and Essex Regents, 140 s to 150 s ; Scotch
ditto, 130 s to 140 s; ditto cups, 120 s to 130 s; foreign, 110 s
to 120 s per ton.
London, England, 1854-02-13


Since our last report for England was written our
prospects in all quarters have materially improved. The
weather is becoming more settled, and, with the open-
ing of the summer, our gold fields present an appearance
of activity and bustle to which they have long been
strangers. We have learnt from a sure source that our
northern diggings are likely to do very well this season.
The American parties at the Haning-rock have com-
pleted their works, and are able to supply all the neigh-
bourhood with abundance of water for mining operations.
It is worthy of note that the construction of sluices
and the combination of large parties of diggers has
become much more common, both here and at our other
mines, and that by this means much ground is profitably
worked which would otherwise remain untouched.
Rocky River also promises very well ; upwards of 400
licenses have been issued at this place during the pre-
sent month. The western goldfields continue to main-
tain their position as our leading diggings, both in point
of population and productiveness. Ophir, the spot where
ground was first broken, is still tenanted by a few par-
ties, who seem perfectly content with their earnings.
The Turon is once more alive with the owners of bed-
claims, many of whom have already had some very
successful hauls. Tambaroora supports several hundred
diggers, although from the want of water during the
summer months, we must expect a diminution in their
numbers owing to the removal of the major portion to
the neighbouring gold producing colonies. Louisa Creek
and the Meroo have a considerable body of miners, who
there find constant and profitable employment. The new
field at Burrendong has also turned out very well, and,
as but a small portion of the ground has been tried, we
may fairly look for yet greater things from this place.
We hear but little of the Tuena ; 'but that little is to the
effect that several of the few parties who have stayed
there have made their fortunes, and that scarcely any
find reason to grumble with their returns. The
Braidwood diggings were under a cloud at the date
of our last report but have since emerged, and are
110'11 entitled to their old character for steady results.

THE DANUBE.

VIENNA, 21.—A report was current yesterday
that the siege of Silistria was raised. This news is
not confirmed.

It is positively stated that the evacuation of
Wallachia by the Russians will shortly take place .
The report that Prince Paskiewitsch is going to
Odessa acquires consistency.

HOSTILITY OF NAPLES TO ENGLAND
AND FRANCE.

A French agent has arrived in Naples, and pro-
ceeded to the provinces for the purpose of purchas-
ing cattle, to supply the army in the East. The
Government having learnt this fact, has published
a decree, which forbids the exportation of cattle
from the Two Sicilies. This is an offensive act
towards France and England.
The King has provisioned Gatea, and retired
there for the summer. The fortifications are in-
creased daily.

STATE OF THE CRIMEA.

Respecting the object of sending reinforcements
to the Crimea, we learn by letters from Odessa
that the season concurs with the pressure of the
war to excite a feeling of discontent among the
Tartar population of that peninsula. The spring,
which usually arrives there in February, had
hardly commenced in the middle of May. The
trees put forth leaves, but no blossoms. The vines
were destroyed by the late frosts. Cattle and
sheep were perishing of disease. One stock pro-
prietor lost all but twelve of a flock of 3,000. The
Tartars who lose their oxen impute their misfor-
tune to the indignation of Mahomet, offended
with the priests who have lent themselves to the
Russians to stir up the Nogais to fight against the
sultan.

IN RE ROPER.

This bankrupt was described as of Hackney, chemist
and druggist, and to-day came up for his certificate, sup-
ported by Mr. J. B. Duncan.
The solicitor to the assignees said they did not oppose;
they wished to call the attention of the Court that the
debts amounted to 1,5861., and the assets about 1001.
Mr. Duncan contended, very forcibly, that the losses
had been, to a great extent, unadvoidable.
His Honour granted a certificate of the second class,
after adjournment for four months.
IN 'RE COTTINGHAM.

OUTLAWRY.—This bankrupt was described as late of
Argyll-place, Regent-street, engineer and architect, and
to-day was appointed for the last examination, but he
did not surrender. .

Mr. J. B. Duncan, as counsel, and Mr. Daniels, ap-
peared on behalf of the bankrupt, praying for an exten-
sion of the time to surrender, as the bankrupt was in
Paris.
Mr. Dupree, for the assignee, submitted that the Court
had no power to make the order have any effect,
unless applied for six days before the day appointed for
the meeting.
The application was refused, and the bankrupt de-
clared outlawed in the usual form.

LOSS OF ENGLISH SEAMAN IN THE
GULF OF BOTHNIA.

We published yesterday a despatch from Copen-
hagen giving some details respecting the affair at
Gumla Kurleby. It stated that the 1,500 men
landed by the Odin and Vulture were attacked by
sharpshooters in ambuscade, and by a masked bat-
tery of five guns. The result of which was that
Lieut. Barrington, a midshipman, a mate, and
three men fell ; 2 officers and 14 . men were
wounded. One boat was lost. 28 men and 1
mate were taken by the Russians, whose com-
mander was killed.

It now appears, from another despatch, that the
lieutenants name was Carrington, and that the
commander of the place was killed.
A further despatch gives the English loss only
three officers killed, and two officers and fourteen
sailors wounded, while the Russians lost 28 killed,
besides their wounded.

On the other hand, the Brussels Independance
makes the English loss 33 killed, a great number
wounded, and 41 prisoners.
The Odin, an 18-gun steam frigate, is commanded
by Captain F. Scott. The Vulture is a steam
frigate of six guns, and is commanded by Captain
H. H. Glasse.

ARRIVAL OF THE ORINOCO.

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 22.—The Royal mail toes-1r-
Orinoco, Captain Wilson, arrived at Southampton Yeswes
day morning from Malta and Gibraltar. This shiPrifoll
selected to carry out the British portion of the exPet'l the
to Greece, and left Southampton with sealed orders. on
brsiter
morning of the 21st of May. Having called at Gi
and Malta, the Orinoco arrived at the Piraeus on the sn,a93,
noon of the 4th of June, but owing to its being °ll.,isy.
the troops did not land until the afternoon of the ne.'d
Every assistance was afforded by the French
whose flag was flying in the French steamer 411er-, in
whose boats, and in those of her Majesty's ship Let
the troops were landed. The Austrian corvette Min
also sent a boat to assist in the disembarkation.
8-te
ne
idea may be formed of the nature of the arrangern-nof
from the fact, that although the Orinoco was lying
,1 ia
half a mile from the landing-place, the time occupie-wo
disembarking the,troops, consisting of over 1,100 men' ere
only one hour and 20 minutes. The English soldierstlo
received on landing by a French regiment, who with The
band playing, preceded them to their encampment' the
King and Queen of Greece were at Athens wnen of

GREECE.

ATHENS, June 16.—Papa Kosta has returned.
Of the insurgent chiefs, Hadji-Petros alone remains
in Thessaly at the head of about 500 or 600 volun-
teers, with Capt. Lacca and some insignificant offi-
cers. Kara-Tasso has quitted Macedonia, with all
his followers. The Solon touched at Chalcis yes-
terday. Tho Triton arrived in the night, with a
demi-battalion of the 23d French Regiment.
Prince Mavrocordato, Greek Minister in Paris,
is about to take his departure for Athens on leave.
TRIESTE, June 21.—The three French, English,
and Greek commissioners who had been sent into
Thessaly to persuade the insurgents to submit,
have not succeeded. Kartassos alone has yielded,
and has been taken with the corps under his com-
mand to Negropont. Maurocordatos refused.
Hadji, with 8,000 men, is marching towards La-
rissa. Philoretas has, it is said, defeated a Turkish
column coming from Volo.
M. St. Marc-Girardin, yesterday, in the Journal
des Debats, takes up the defence of Greece against
the English journals, and argues that there is in
Greece a future which ought not to be slighted. It
was said by many at the time of the war of inde-
pendence that the Greeks were the commencement
of a great people. That certainly does not appear
to be the case at present ; and the late attempt
must have shown the Greeks how vain would be the
support of Russia, even if any reliance could be
placed in that support. The writer in the Journal
des Debats remarks that England can only gain by
the prosperity of Greece, which, he observes, is the
sole obstacle that Russia can meet with in the East
—the sole moral force capable of resisting the
material power of Russia. " That truth," says the
Debats, " which will every day become more ap-
parent both in Fngland and in Greece, will draw
the two countries, the greater and the less, closer
together—the less, in showing it where are its real
protectors ; and the greater, in proving to it what
ought to be the real instruments of its power in the
East. As to France, it has nothing to do in that
union but to maintain its ancient part of a sincere
and disinterested friend of Greece. France always
deesired-the prosperity and future Welfare of Greece;

told, on authority, that if it passed without any mate-
rial alteration, as regarded the interests of the Great
Northern Company, it would not be necessary—if the
proprietors now approved of the measure—to call them
again together to deliberate upon it.
After considerable discussion—the marginal notes of
the bill having been read—it was deemed the safer course
to adjourn the meeting for a week ; and the meeting
was adjourned accordingly.

RUSSIAN REPORT OF THE AFFAIR.

The St. .Petersburg Journal, of the 15th of June,
announces that, at 11 p.m., on the 9th, an English
expedition of nine boats attempted to, force the
passage to the town of Gumla Kurleby.
They were opposed by two companies of the
Finnish Regiment of the Line No. 12, and by 100
volunteers of the town, with two light field pieces.
In the conflict which ensued, and which lasted an
hour, the English were worsted and forced to retire,
having lost a great many in killed and wounded,
and being obliged to tow two boats disabled from
want of men to row them.

One boat, with 22 men, remained prisoners in
the hands o the Russians. Four of these prisoners
were wounded, and in the boat were five corpses,
among which was the body of an officer. The pri-
soners asserted that many dead had been thrown
overboard.

A gun of heavy calibre was also taken with the
boat, besides muskets and other munitions of war.
The loss of the Russians was inconsiderable,
amounting only to four men slightly wounded.

JUNCTION OF THE ANGLO-FRENCH
FLEETS.

The Moniteur says :—" A despatch from Ad-
miral Parseval-Deschenes, dated from Barosund,
June 13, announces to the Minister of Marine
that the French squadron of the Baltic has just
operated its junction with Admiral Napier. The
French admiral, as soon as he perceived the squau-
ron of our allies, saluted his colleague's flag with
15 guns, and hoisted the British colours at the
mainmast of all his vessels, as a mark of satisfac-
tion at this happy meeting."

NOVEL ENGLISH. ARCTIC EXPEDITION,

"The English have taken Tornea —says the teleg-
graph. Hitherto the courage and enterprise of England
have been confined, in the Arctic regions, to the pur-
suits of science and the whale-fishery. Now, however,
they seem destined to display themselves in these icy
regions by feats of arms. Tornea has been occupied,
and if common firme say true, is about to be fortified
and made a station for British troops. The town of
Tornea is not itself within the Arctic circle—though at
midsummer the sun can be seen from its church steeple
at midnight ; but the greater part of the mark or dis-
trict, of which Tornea is the capital, is within the Arctic
circle. Englishmen are now promised a chance of being
enabled to decide, experimentally, whether hunting, star-
gazing, or fighting, are the best preservatives against
Arctic cold. But for six months of the year they will
have to fight by the light of the moon, or stars, or
Aurora Borealis.

RATHER TOO BROAD.

The Russian journal in London has of late become
extremely zealous for the capture of Sebastopol and the
occupation of the Crimea. The portentous iteration
with which it has returned day after day to this theme
has astonished many. Some simpletons have ever
given the Russian organ credit for having turned against
Russia. But it is now apparent—as many more wary
heads all along suspected—that this new-born zeal for the
demolition of Sebastopol is nothing more than a ruse
to serve the Czar. Yesterday the Times, after again
expatiating on the importance of occupying the
Crimea, proceeded to enlarge on the impossibility
of doing more than blockading the Russian ports on
the Baltic ; and this additional piece of doctrine was
followed up by an "ergo"--that therefore a part of
the Baltic should be withdrawn and sent to
strengthen Admirals Hamelin and Dundas in the
Euxine. The importance of striking a home blow
in the Crimea need not be underrated. We pro-
posed it months ago ; but the Crimea is remote from
Moscow, and still more remote from St. Petersburg.
The Russian Cockneys of either capital cannot be easily
made to realise the damage and disgrace that would be
sustained by their Emperor's arms were the Crimea to
be taken from him. But the St. Petersburgers can re-
alise the confessed weakness of their Emperor, when an
Anglo-French fleet prevents the approach of any mer-
chant vessels to their city, burns the imperial arsenals,
and laughs to scorn the imperial forts. And yet his
boasted men-of-war lie skulking at Cronstadt, not daring
to face the insolent foe. The operations of Napier in
the Baltic make the Russians feel themselves defeated
with a far more lively sense than any operations in the
Euxine can ; and therefore the Times recommends that
Sir Charles' fleet should be weakened. A day or two
ago the Times headed its " Latest Intelligence " with
" From a Russian Source ;" the tail of its yesterday's
leader might with equal justice have born this inscrip-
tion for assuredly its object is to give the Czar a chance
of persuading his subjects that he is not afraid to face
the allied fleets on the open sea. There are French'
English, and Turkish ships
enough in the Black Sea to
blockade Sebastopol and the Danube, aid the Circass-
sians, andcapture Russian merchantmen. The only doubt
that suspends the fate of Sebastopol is as to whether an
attack from the sea alone is expedient, or whether land
troops ought not to be brought simultaneously into
play ; and thereupon the Tones recommends, not to
send more soldiers to the East, but to detach ships from
the Baltic. The device is too gross and clumsy to de-
lqde the veriest dabbler in politics. The Times sees the
Czar held fast by the throat at St. Petersburg—hears his
gasping, spluttering, and wheezing— and affectionately
hastens to his rescue by seeking to cajole his assailants
into relaxing their grasp.—Daily News.

These bankrupts were described as of Aldermanbury,

final dividend. It will probably be remembered that
Spriggs absconded to Australia, having taken with him
considerable property, which, however, was, after great
exertion, recovered. Spriggs was apprehended, tried,
and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment.
The amount of the dividend will be declared in the

THE RUSSIANS IN THE PACIFIC.

The following " General Memorandum" has been issued
by the English Admiral : _

" Her Majesty's Ship President, at Callao, May 9.
" Tho Rear-Admiral Commander-in-Chief desires to inform
the captains, commanders, officers, seamen, and marines
serving on board her Majesty's ships and vessels under his
command that he has received directions from the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty to comply with the orders
contained in a letter received from her Majesty's Principal
Secretary of State for the Colonies, conveying the Queen's
commands that we should forthwith commence and execute
all such hostile measures as may be in our power, and not at
variance with the orders paised by her Majesty in Council,
against Russia, and against all ships belonging to the Em-
peror of Russia or to his subjects, or others inhabiting within
any of his countries, territories, or dominions.
" In carrying out these instructions the Rear-Admiral
desires to record his opinion that there will be much to be
done upon this station by the squadron under his orders ;
that Great Britain has a right to expect from it a proper ac-
count of the Russian frigates that are known to be now upon
the station, as well as of the numerous privateers that it is
known soon will be.

" The Rear-Admiral relies with confidence upon the assist-
ance that will be afforded by each of the officers, seamen,
and marines of the squadron, towards fully and effectually
carrying out' all that their gracious Queen and country will
expect of them ; and, as the time is now close at hand when
some of the squadron may calculate upon being in action
with some of the enemy's ships of war, he feels assured that
all will unite in taking such steps as are necessary, by daily.,
practice and other means, which, added to their charac-
teristic bravery, will be calculated to render them not only
superior to their enemy, but inferior to none in the world.

A letter from Lubeck of the 18th,- in Voss's
Gazette of Berlin, says :—" According to letters
which have arrived this day from Helsingfors, it
was supposed that there would soon be a naval
combat, for the Russian fleet, anchored in that
port, had put to sea. It is, however, possible that
its object is merely to go and protect the fortress
of Sweaborg."

IN RE ROPER.

This bankrupt was described as of Hackney, chemist
and druggist, and to-day came up for his certificate, sup-
ported by Mr. J. B. Duncan.
The to!leiter to the assignees said they did not oppose;
they wished to call the attention of the Court that the
debts amounted to 1,5861., and the assets about 1001.
Mr. Dunean contended, very forcibly, that the losses
had been, to a great extent, unadvoidable.
His Honour granted a certificate of the second class,
after adjournment for four mouths.
IN BE COTTINGHAL

OUTLAWRY.—This bankrupt was described as late of
Argyll-place, Regent-street, engineer and architect, and
to-day was appointed for the last examination, but he
did not surrender.
Mr. J. B. Duncan, as counsel, and Mr. Daniels, ap-
peared on behalf of the bankrupt, praying for an exten-
sion of the time to surrender, as the bankrupt was in
Paris.
Mr. Dupree, for the assignee, submitted that the Court
had no power to make the order have any effect,
unless applied for six days before the day appointed for
the meeting.
The application was refused, and the bankrupt de-
clared outlawed in the usual form.

'HIS RAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very
moderate scale. The show of samples was small, yet the
demand was far from active. In prices scarcely any change
took place. •
The import of foreign wheat has amounted to 13,670
quarters. Selected samples sold at full currencies, but all
other kinds met a slow sale, on former terms.
Most floating cargoes were held at full prices, but the
inquiry for them was by no means active.
Grinding barley was steady, but so little was doing in
other kinds, that the quotations were almost nominal.
The malt trade was slow, on former terms. The arrivals
were good.
We were scantily supplied with oats, the sale for which
ruled steady. In some instances the quotations had an
upward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour sold at Monday's currency.
