TOR CROPS IN THE MIDLAND DisuncTs.--The
recent severe weather, more especially that which oc-
curred during the last week, has retarded considerably
the growth- of the young wheat. Between Birmingham-
and Stratford-upon-Avon this effect is very observable.
The wheat appears shrunk, not having for so
past made the least progress in growth. Beans andtri time
look healthy, and a fair crop is anticipated.

THE DANISH WAR.

Letters from Altona of the 21st, in the Cologne
Gazette, announce the entrance of a Sohleswig•Hol-
stein brigade into Jutland.

ITALY.

The troops under General MARMORA, in occupa-
tion of Genoa, have been guilty of disgraceful
excesses. They have mutilated several of the valuable
pictures in the Doria by firing at them with ball out
of mere mischief, and have cut several of them with
bayonets, besides destroying the furniture. Thus the
works of art, which were respected by the Re-
publican insurgents, have been mutilated and des-
troyed by reactionary troops. From Leghorn we
learn that the inhabitants of that city have proclaimed a
republic. On the 13th, at noon, the people were con-
voked in the Piazza Grande, and informed of the late
events of Florence and the rest of Tuscany, upon
which a Provisional Government was named, com-
posed of the following persons :—Fabbri (who re-
fused, however, to accept the office), Marco Mas-
tacchi, Luigi Secchi, Enrico Bartelloni, Frizzoni,
Orazio de Attellis, David Busnach, P. Adami, Adv.
Frangi, Angelo Bandoni, Angelo Neri, Vincenzo
Gallegari. The communications between Leghorn
and Florence are interrupted; the gates of the
former town are guarded by national guards with
artillery.

ROMARINO has been found guilty of acting in dis-
obedience to orders.

The Saggiatore of Turin, of the 20th, states, that
the soldiers of the military train of the Piedmontese
army, who expected to be sent home after the war,
have been ordered to remain in the service. The
temporary permissions of absence in the army have
been stopped, and all appears to denote that the
Ministry intend to maintain a-firm and vigorous at-
titude. This intelligence tallies with the general
tone of the Piedmontese press, and with the
rumour mentioned by the Prease of Vienna of the
19th, that General RADETZHT intends renouncing
the armistice, and resuming hostilities against Pied-
mont, because the latter State refuses to admit an
Austrian garrison into Allesandria, and to pay the
required war contribution ; and also because Axxxxx
has not withdrawn from Venice, while Count Ricci, a
partisan of GIOBERTI, has been appointed to treat for
peace, instead of Count REVZL, who was favourable
to Austria.

The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 20th, states that
the POPE intends retiring to Avignon while the fo-
reign troops will occupy his states. He intends
holding an oecumenic council there.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, APRIL 24.—The market stl.it crops
und?r the weight of a full production, upon which the
irregular and most inadequate purchases now in pro-
gress do not tell with any effect. On the whole, the
tendency of prices is to decline. This is the general
characteristic of the state of things to-day, making al
lowance for such exception as we shall point out. In
yarns there is some increasl of operations on the part
of the German houses, not, to any extent, for immediate
shipment, but rather in the way of sfeculation, mani-
festly induced by the excessive lowness of prices. We
have heard, however, of experimental shipments made
by new channels of communication with the manu-
facturing States of Germany, by the Rhine, and
through the northern ports of Holland. These, how•
ever, are necessarily, as yet, to a very small extent. In
certain kinds of yarn a little more steadiness is appa-
rent; in other kinds this can hardly be said to be the
case. For India and China, the business is small, and
on rather worse terms for the spinners. The same re-
mark applies to qualities for home manufacture. As
regards goods, it cannot be said that there is any better
demand at all. In domestics and fustians, the stag-
natbn is undimiinished, and prices can scarcely be
quoted. Long cloths and Ts may be got at rather
lower rates. The inquiry for fabrics adapted to the
eastern markets is now trifling, and wide skirtings are
again yielding in value, with the exceptioc of 60 and 64
reeds.
ROCHDALE, APRIL 23. —There is no improvement in
the flannel market today, either in prices or quantity
sold. The wool market also continues much depressed;
the manufacturers buy very sparingly, at prices a shade

lower.
HUDDERSFIELD, Aram 24.—The market to-day is
not quite so brisk as fur some weeks past. Even the
woollen trade, which for some time has teen good, seems
to have received a slight check. Fancy goods for the
spring trade have been bought very readily during the
season, and few, if any, now remain on hand.
HALIFAX, APRIL 21.—There has been but a slender
attendance of merchants in our Piece Hall to-day, and
Vie same causes continuing in operation, there is no
improvement i❑ the inquiry for worsted goods. Yarns
also remain pretty much the same. The wool market is
exceedingly dull, and the quotations are somewhat lower.

AUSTRI

The Augsburg Gazette, which contains letters from
Wallachia of fte 6:h, Jlssy of the 9th, and from
Galatz of the 6th, state that no Russians whatever
hid yet entered Transylvania, or any other part of
Austria.

The Constilutionnel Journal of Bohemia, in
an article dated Transylvania, says —" A new
Commissioner of the Magyar Government has ar
lived at Hermanstadt and Cronstadt, invested
with full powers. He assures the inhabitants, on
condition of their obedience, of the perfect safety of
those persons and property, and at the same time
grants all fugitives a term of eight days to return to
those cities, under pain of the confiscation of all their
property. Great numbers of persons who had fled to
Bucharest are therefore preparing to quit that city
and retur❑ to their homes."

W RTE.MBURG.

Letters from Stuttgart of the 19th inst., in the

Wurtemburg Cabinet in consequence of the King's
positive re4wal to join the declaration of the 28
German Princes in favour of the Constitution. The
greatest excitement prevailed throughout the Wur-
teml,urg capital when the King's resolution and the
resignation of the Ministers became known. The
King hai sent for several of the leading men in his
country, but none of them would undertake the for-
mation of a new Cabinet.

IVUR TEAM UR G.
Letters from Wurtemburg of the 22d state that
great sensation had been created by the announce-
ment that the KING had suddenly become hostile to
the proposed Constitution of Germany. O'
the 20th and 21st the Charriber of Deputies
was occupied in discussing the Constitution,
and, after a long and anxious debate, it adopted
by 70 votes to 7 an address to the KfNG, calling
on him to consent to the Constitution. Deputations
of the people and clubs were in the Chamber, and
took an active part in the proceedings. The almost
unanimous feeling of the people of Wurtem.Nurg
was in favour of the Constitution, and great s.-tr-
prise was manifested at the KING'S change of
opinion. The Ministry was anxious that his 111.,
JESTY should accept the Constitution, and on his
refusal they offered their resignation en masse,
but when the accounts came awAy it had not
been accepted. It is stated in a letter from :Frank-
fort that the KING'S determination to reject the
German Constitution was adopted in compliance
with the recommendation of the Austrian Cabinets
which promised him assistance and protection. M.,
DE SCIIMERLING, the ex-Plenipotentiary orAnstria
at Frankfort, has been in secret communication
with his MAJESTY at Stuttgardt, as bas also
M. KLINDWORTII, a person whose name figured a
good deal in the Revue Retrospective. One of the
Frankfort journals states that serious disturbances
had taken place at Stuttgardt, and that the KING had
fled. There was even a report that his MAJESTY had
been assassinated, but all this is probably unfounded,
for the Stuttgardt journals, a day later in date than
the accounts on which these reports are said to be
founded, allude to nothing of the kind.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
- - - - -

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
aferd to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con•
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may sc-
our° either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, er a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any thee, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of hie payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and ♦aried advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 18th have arrived.
NARVAEZ was so nettled at the French Govern-
ment's refusal to detain the Count DE MoRTEmoEIN
in captivity, that the day after this unpalatable news
reached Madrid, he complained in somewhat strong
language to M. BONAPARTE of the insecerity of the
PREsIDENT's professions of friendship. The Repub•
lican Envoy, who prides himself upon resembling the
EMPEROR, not only in features, but likewise in his
sententious and haughty style of address, replied, with
the air of a second NAPOLEON, that the Prime
Minister of the Queen of SPAIN appeared to have
forgotten that Louis PuturrE no longer governed
France, otherwise he would not have supposed her
present rulers capable of violating its principles and
the most ordinary laws of s3ciety by imprisoning an
individual guilty of no crime against that country.
NARVAEZ finding that his impertinence would not be
tolerated by the French Government, and knowing that
unlike England, France was not blessed with a
Protectionist aristocracy ever ready to intrigue with
any enemy of the country who holds out to them the
shadow of a hope of being able to keep up their rents,
eat humble-pie, and curing the rest of the conference
the pet of ABERDEEN and the encouraged of STAN-
LEY crouched like a chidden hound.

arrived here with the usual West India and Mexican
mails, in charge of Lieut. Striven, Admiralty agent. She
brings only a small freight 1211390,000 dolls., none of which
are for account of Mexican bondholders; 269 serons
of cochineal and other cargo, and about 33 passengers.

Our advices from Jamaiica mention that the Governor
had further prorogued the Legislature to the Ist of May.
It was believed that it would be further adjourned till
instructions had been received from the Colonial-office.
Meetings continue to be held, advocating a reduction
of the expenditure and reforming the Council of the
island.
The island remained heal.hy and the weather fine.
The markets were rather better. Sugar and coffee had
advanced in price. Exchange as before reported. There
is no intelligence of importance from Mexico. Bu,iuesa
was dull.
The roads from Vera Crux to the capital were much
improved, and were perfectly safe.
At St. Lucia tranquillity was perfectly restored.
In the Island of Grenada the ::.übj,.ct of retrenchment
had begun to occupy the public mind, and a Committee
or the House of Assembly had reported in favour of re-
ducing the salaries of offices.
_ Our advices from Havannah mention that the demand
tor sugars had augmented in activity, and the supplies
were becoming more abundant,
and the weather favour-
Ale. Prices, nevertheless, experienced an advance.
For a few days before the packet sailed the market
was more quiet, owing to the scarcity of vessels.
The accounts from the interior respecting the yield
of the crop had gradually become more and more
gloomy.
Freights had advanced to 3/. 15s. for Cowes and co
tinental ports, and, although many vessels had arrived,
yet few were diiengaged.
The quarantine on vess is from in"ceted places in
Great Britain was 15 days, but eight days if they brought
clean bills of health.

Exchange on London 10i premium; Paris 2 to 3

disc in n t.

Accounts from 13elis7, Honduras, state that trade was
dull in consequence of the disturbAl state of the aejaceut
countries and the continued depression of mahogany in
the home markets.
Not more than two-thirds or half of the usual quan-
tity of that wood would be brJught out for -shipment
this year.
The West India Islands generally were healthy. The
crops of the present year, in addition to reduced culti-
vation, were likely to be very much diminished from bad
yielding; this was particularly the case at Jamaica.
Advices from the Republic of Guatemala mention that
tranquillity had been restored, and the besieging force
under General Vincente Cruz disbanded pursuant to
treaty.
The States of San Salvador, Honduras, and Nicara-
guay were quiet by the last advices.
From Yaeatan we learn, via Belize, that the Indiana

THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY, Al IDNIGHT.—The Penin
hr and Oriental steamer Jupiter, Captain, F. Meeh
has just arrived, with the usual mails from Gibralt
Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, and Vigo.
Our advices from Lisbon of the 19th inst. mention ti
Portugal was perfectly tranquil.
At the Jupiter's departure the Ministers and Final
Committee were in conference, and had come to an und,
standing as to modifications in some of Senhor Lc/
Branco's projects.
Increased estimates for the war department were
be agreed to, and the full complement of 24,000 rc
kept up.
The political news is not of much importance.
Russian, Danish, and Swedish ships had been relim
from differential tonnage dues in Portuguese ports.
Exchange on Londo❑ at three months, 54 ; Lisb
Bank notes, 41 discount.

King Charles Albert arrived at Oporto on the ni
of the 19th inst., en route to Lisbon.

Our Gibraltar' letter quotes the rate of exchange n
London, at 90 days, at 494 to 49k.
We have advices from Tangier, confirming the intel
i-
gence brought by the Indus, that the French Cons !-
General in Morocco, having failed to obtain reparati u
from the Moorish Government for the insults be had re-
ceived, had terminated diplomatic relations with the
Emperor's Government, and had hauled down his flag.
The French residents were placed under the protection
of the British Charg' d'Affaires.

weeks past. Depression is the cha-
wNeoetk as
sre bfor
some o
terising feature of our market. The Danish dispute
is said to be operating most injuriously. Heavy goods
are dull in the extreme, and the long continuance of cold
wintry weather has seriously injured the spring trade,
but it is hoped that the recent genial change will be be-
neficial. Our foreign buyers have been quite inactive,
and seem disposed to wait till the future prospects of
continental affairs are more promising than at present.
Amongst the Indian buyers there has been a slight acti-
vity. All parties are anxiously waiting for the settle-
ment of disputes abroad, and seem convinced that no
general move can take place in the commercial circles
till our foreign politics are more promising of future and
settled peace.
SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING. -By the
steam-packet just arrived from Havre, we hear that the
cotton market was yesterday very animated. Sales to
two o'clock amounted to 1,260 bales, and, owing to the
favourable advices brought by the Canada, prices ad-
vanced from 500. to lf. on all kinds. For the last two
days no particular arrivals excepting the George P.
Patten, Captain Stenson, from Mobile, with 2,678 bales
of °own.

Bow-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Two fashionably•dressed young men, who gave their
names Benjamin and William Horton, and described
themselves as brothers, living together upon an inde-
pendent property, were charged with having, with three
other persons not in custody, committed an assault upon
Mr. George F. Wray. of the Middle Temple, barrister,
and his brother Mr. William Wray.
The complainants stated that, this morning, between
two and three o'clock, they were walking up the Strand,
when they were stopped by a string of five well-dressed
men, amongst whom were the defendants, and who
blocked up the foot% ay from the houses to the curb,
turning all who met them into the carriage road. The
complainants drew close up to the shops, to allew the
group to pass; bur, after cries of " Pitch into them" on
the part of the defendants, they were severely struck by
several of the latter, and the elder Mr. Wray was
knocked down, and received several kicks whilst on the
ground.
A cabman corroborated the evidence of the corn..
plainauts.
1 he defendants said that the complainants commenced
the affray, by attempting to force through them, and by
striking Wry. Horton.
Mr. BALL considered the case clear against them, and
told them that the custom of well dressed persons•going
through the streets at night creating disturbances and
getting up rows, must be put down. He sentenced them
to pay a fine of 51 each, or be imprisoned in the House
of Correction six weeks, and kept to bard labour.

MOVEMENTS OF THE COURT.--It is now pretty
well understood in circles likely to be correctly
informed, that her Majesty will proceed to Ireland
about the 4th of August next, goinz fro:n Bristol to
Co k, and thence by Killarney to Dublin. where it is
expeced her raje,ty int,,nd4 holding a Levee and a
