by the Chamber, and it is said that they are preparing
an insurrectionary movement, to be headed by Gene-
ral KALERGI. This last report, however, requires
confirmation, as it comes from a French source,
which, in matters relating to Greece, is not altoge-
ther trustworthy. The Prince Royal of Bavaria has
left Athens for Munich.

The Frankfort Journal of the 20th inst. publishes
the following letter, dated Konigsberg, the 13th
inst.:—
" We have received at this moment accounts of dis-
turbances at Labisu. A merchant brig laden with wheat
having sprung a leak, the captain sold the cargo at a
moderate price to the neighbouring peasants. Almost
at the same time some wholesale merchants arrived and
proposed to purchase the entire cargo in bulk. The
peasants oppozed the sale, and a collision ensued in
which one life was sacrificed."

A letter dated Konigsberg, the 16th inst., states
that 700 Jews of that city had agreed to transfer the
celebration of their sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.
This measure is regarded as a remarkable proof of
the tendency felt by the Jews to assimilate themEelves
to Christians in religious practices.
On the 14th the Society of the Citizens of Altona,
in the Duchy of Holstein, held a general assembly,
at which they almost unanimously adopted a petition
to the States, praying that Jews may enjoy the
same civil and political rights as their Christian fel-
low-citizens.

The Emperor of RUSSIA. has just published a ukase,
declaring that from the present time to the end of
1851 a duty of 15 effective kopeks (60 centimes) per
ton, shall be levied on the, freight of all natire and
foreign ships leaving the port of Riga. The proceeds
are destined to the improvement of the port.

A letter, dated Constantinople, 7ch instant, says—

" The Porte has not yet adopted any measure against
the Greek trade or the Greek subjects residing in its
dominions. The neighbouring provinces are tranquil.
No movement of troops has taken place on the fron-
tier. The armament of the fleet, however, is terminated,
and in the course of about ten days it will be able to sail
for the Mediterranean, under the command of the Capi-
tan Pasha. The disbanding of the soldiers of the regu-
lar army who have completed their five years' service
commenced on Wednesday, and was concluded to-day.
That operation was conducted with considerable pomp,
amidst numerous salutes of artillery, and in presence
of the Sultan, all the Ministers and high func-
tionaries of the State. To-morrow we are to hare a
grand ceremony in the arsenal on the occasion of the
launching of two steam-frigates of 500 horse
power. The account of the appointment of a
Persian Ambassador to Paris is confirmed. The choice
of the Cabinet of Teheran has fallen upon Mirza.
Mehemet-Aly-Khan, who was to leave fur France on the
2(1 of Apt il, accompanied by M. Vidal, a dragoman of
the French mission in Persia. It appears that, in con-
sequence of the unfriendly relations existing between
Turkey and Persia, Mirza.Mehemet-Aly Khan will not
pass through Constantinople, and that he is to proceed
through Bagdad, Messul, and Orfa, to Beyrout. Large
bodies of troops were concentrated at Teheran, and re-
viewed by the Prince Royal and by the Schah in person.
Orders had been issued to prepare several millions of
rations of biscuit, and everything looked as if Persia
was meditating some expedition. It was believed at
Teheran that this army had been assembled on account
of the apprehensions inspired to the Persian Govern
meet by the concentration of the Turkish troops at
Kharpout to reduce Beder-Khan-Bey and the other
Kurdish chiefs. Aly Khan is an important personage,
who was charged with the direction of the department
of foreign affairs since the death of Abboul-Hassan-
Khan. He has already visited Europe, and occupied
the post of Secretary of Legation at Vienna and St.
Petersburg."

We read in a letter from Alexandria of the 9th :

"Since his return to Alexandria his Highness the
Viceroy has occupied himself almost exclusively with
the interests of commerce. During his absence com-
plaints were addressed to the Minister of Commerce
relative to the delays which merchants sustain in the
descent of their goods. The complaints often remained
without effect. His Highness, in order to put an end to
these inconveniences, has just ordered that two railways
shall be constructed on the principal places of embarka-
tion, and that a greater number of boats shall be placed
at the disposal of traders. A new departure to France of
young Egyptians and Europeans will shortly take place.
His Highness influenced by the sentiments of kindness
towards the inhabitants of Egypt which characterise him,
has deigned, on the demand of several European fami-
lies, to accord the favour of allowing their children
to be educated in the Egyptian college at Paris. These
young people will follow the same courses of lectures
and make the same studies as the Egyptian pupils.
Orders have been given to Ibrahim Pacha, who is at
present at Cairo, to begin as soon as possible the three
canals destined to irrigate Lower Egypt, viz., in
Cherkhie, Behera, and Garbich. The steamer of to-day
conveys to France M. Barrot, Consul-General of France
in Egypt, and his family. This gentleman is highly
esteemed amongst us, for on all occasions he has give❑
proofs of high intelligence and energy. The French
subjects here have manifested all their sympathy to-
wards him, and in a banquet which took place on the
6th, in the great Hotel d'Orient, nothing was spared to
render homage co the Consul-General of France. At
the end of the recast M. Pasu gave a toast to the King
and institutions. M. Barrot replied with great dignity,
and his speech was frequently interrupted by applause.
General Gallier Bey gave the health of M. Barrot, and
M. Benedetti, Consul at Cairo, gave a toast to the pros-
perity of commerce. The fete, which was very brilliant,
was prolonged to a late hour."

Madrid journals of the 16th and 17th instant have
arrived.

Senor SALAMANCA had been dispatched by the
QUEEN to the Prado, to endeavour to persuade the
KING CONSORT to join the Royal party at Aranjuez,
but had not succeeded in the object of his mission.
The rumours of an intended modification in the
Cabinet had subsided. Some of the Ministers have,
it is said, advised that ESPARTERO should be created a
senator, and have all his honours restored to him, on
condition that he should remain abroad some little
time longer. The Clamor P llblico denies that ESPAR-
TERO has asked any favour of the Court, or of the
Government.

Seville has been freed from martial-law, tranquillity
having been completely restored. General NocuEßAs
was expected daily at Cadiz from Gibraltar. King
LOUIS PIIILIPPE has made the QUEEN a present of
eight magnificent Anglo-Arab horsoa,. General
RoDIL arrived in Madrid on the 16th. setters from
Badajoz of the 11th state that the preparations of the
army of observation for marching into Portugal were
complete. General MANUEL CONCHA, however, who
is to take the command of it, has not yet left Madrid.
MADAINI BOLSA, MAY I7.—The Three per Cents. were
done at 35% for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 183 A ; the

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
In the 3[oniteur of Friday we find a royal ordon-
nance, regulating the postage of letters, journals,
forwarded by the trans-Atlantic steamers plying
between Havre and New York. The postage of a
single letter is fixed at 1 franc, besides the territorial
postage of 10 centimes. Journals, periodicals, un-
bound books, pamphlets, catalogues, printed mu,ic,
&c., will pay 10 centimes per journal or sheet, be-
sides the territorial postage.
In the papers of Saturday we find it announced
that Mr. O'CONNELL died at Genoa on Saturday, the
15th instant. A letter from Turin of the 17th an-
nounces the melancholy event in these words :—"The
most remarkable man of the age, DANIEL O'CON-
NELL, died at Genoa on Saturday." In another
column we have given the remarks of some of the
French papers on this subject, but although our
Paris contemporaries seem inclined to give implicit
belief to this announcement made by their Turin cor-
respondent, we still think that the rumour re-
quires confirmation, inasmuch as it is entirely
at variance with the statement which appeared
in the second edition of the Atlas of Saturday,
and which said :—" We are in receipt of a private
letter this morning from Florence, dated May 13th,
by which we are enabled to set at rest the anxiety of
Mr. O'CoNNELL's friends respecting the above report.
It gives us pleasure to state that Mr. O'CONNELL was
then on his way to Rome, and apparently recovered
from the attack which seized him at Genoa. The
writer says—
" Mr. O'Connell and his son, Mr. D. O'Connell, jun.,
with the Rev. Dr. Miley and his private physician, have
arrived at Leghorn, from whence they proceed by the
steamer to Civita Vecchia and Rome, where he is to
remain a short time; after which he comes to Florence
to pass the summer months at a villa."
If Mr. O'CONNELL were at Leghorn en route for
Rome on the 13th, it is somewhat singular that he
should have afterwards gone back to Genoa, which
he must have done, if it be true that he died in that
city on the 15th. Our hope is, that itIr.O'CoNNELL
is at this moment alive.
In the committee on the Budget, on Saturday, the
Minister of Public Works consented to abandon
several credits which had been asked for by his pre-
decessor. These reductions, however, are not suffi-
cient to propitiate the enemies of the Ministry. The
Budget will undergo a must severe scrutiny in the
IChamber, aril as the enforcement of economy in the
expenditure is a point on which progressive Comer-

vatives and Legitimatists may unite with the Dynastic
Opposition and the Republis.:ans against the Ministry,
it is not at all improbable that M. GUIZOT may find
himself in a minority.

It was announced that a further change in the Ca-
binet was not unlikely, and that M. DE SALVANDY
would quit the Council to make way for a member of
the party of M. DUCHATEL.
Dispatches have been received from Admiral
BRUAT, dated 17th February, announcing the com-
plete submission of Queen POMARE and the entire
population of the Society Islands to the French Pro-
tectorate. The QUEEN was re-established at Ota-
heite in all her rights and authorities, which she is
henceforth to exercise as the QUEEN recognised by
the Government of the Protectorate.
" The Committee of Instruction of the Court of
Peers," says the Gazette des Tribunaux,
"Examined again on Friday morning M. Legrand,
Under Secretary of State of the Minister of Public
Works. The second part of the sitting was employed
in completing the interrogatory of General Cubieres on
different points, resulting either from the depositions of
the different witnesses, or the interregations of Messrs.
Parmentier and Pellaprat. It is probable, from the turn
the proceedings are taking, that the Committee will deem
it advisable to place the accused in presence of each
other, and to confront General Cubieres and M. Par-
mentier with M. Pellaprat, against whom the Chancellor,
in the course of the instructions, issued a warrant to
compel his attendance, which deprived M. Pellaprat of
the quality of witness, in which he had at first appeared.
The Committee is again to meet to-morrow (Saturday)."
Don ENRIQUE and his wife have left Marseilles for
Bayonne.
The National confirms the statement made a few
days since, that a correspondence between the Due
DE BOURDEAUX and one of the leaders of the Legiti-
matist party in Paris, had fallen into the hands of the

police.
The Journal des D gals has the following on the
affairs of Portugal :
‘‘ By recent letters from Portugal, we learn that the
Junta of Oporto has definitely refused the propositions
of arrangement which the English Envoy, Colonel
Wilde, conveyed to it on behalf of the Government of the
Queen of Portugal and of the Government of the Queen
of England. As I, ng as the civil war, which has con-
tinued during several months in Portugal, did not di-
rectly menace the royal authority and the throne of the
Queen Donna Maria, there was no reason to apply she
stipulations of the treaty of the Quadruple Alliance;
but, in consequence of the last events, we have reason to
believe that 'mei& stipulations will be put in execution,
and that measures will be concerted between the
Powers which signed the treaty for putting an end
to the civil war and re-establishing thu authority of
the Queen."

M. JOSE A/CUERO DE RUIZ, the Mexican Consul
at Marseilles, has sent in a protest to the Chatober ut
Commerce of that town, in the name of his Govern-
ment, against the decree of the American Government
opening the trade of the several ports of Mexico
which are, or may be, in possession of American
troops to the trade of neutral nations, upon Customs
duties differing from those fixed by the Mexican
tariff, for the benefit of the Union, under the pretence
of a war indemnity.

VISIT OP HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS THE ARCHDUKE
CONSTA.NTINE OF RUSSIA. TO THE NEW HOUSE OF
LORDS.—His Imperial Highness the Archduke Constan-
tine, second son of the Autocrat of all the Russians,

Grey, Equerry in Waiting on the Queen, Admiral
Lutke, Baron Fredrick, M. de Haurowitch, M. de Berg.
and the Baron Brunnow. His Imperial Highness was
conducted over the New House of Lords by Mr. Pulman
the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, and expressed
himself greatly astonished with the magnificence of th.
building and its interior decorations. His Imperial
Highness afterwards visited Westminster Abbey.

We are authorised to state that there is no founda-
tion for the rumour circulated by some of the Madrid
newspapers, that the Milo- of Victoria had solicited per-
mission to return to Madrid. That this distinguished
exile may, in the present state of his country and of po,
parties, be invited to return, is, we think, highly
probable ; but it is due to his own character that the pri-
vilege to return should have been unsolicited by himself.

MARRIAGE OF DON HENRY OF SPAIN.—The mar-
riage of Don Henry of Spain with Donna Elena de Cas-
tilladelegated y Skelly Fernando de Cordova, was celebrated at

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CI7 Y, QUARTER TO THBEE.
The Cotton market, at Liverpool, on Saturday Ras
firm, prices being fully supported. Sales about 4,000
bales, including 3,000 American at 6d. to 7id. 300 Egyp-
tian, at 74d. to 9d., and 100 Surat at 4d. to 4id. per lb.
Of the American, 500 bales were taken tor exportation,
and 500 on speculation. There was an improved demand
fur Shares, with considerable buying at advancing prices.
There are no later ship arrivals to-day from any
quarter beyond the usual Continental mails, and the ex-
press with the Overland dispatches. The accounts from
India are considered satisfactory in reference to political
matters, but are not encouraging upon the subject of
trade, which appears to have been dull.
There is a most decided fall in wheat to day, viz., full
6s. per quarter, compared with Monday last, and ere
lung we trust it may be in our power to record another
important retrograde movement that will test the
strength of holders, and prove whether corn is really as
scarce as pretended. Farmers may flatter themselves
with the prospect of higher rates, and perhaps if they
can hold on until just before the harvest they may get
almost as good prices as now, bat in the interim there
must be a fall.
As we are glad to notice even iludividnil efforts to
cheapen food, we give publicity to the following circular
of a City baker, who, we trust, may succeed in setting a
good example. This party states--
" At a crisis like the present, it is the duty of every
individual of the community, however high, or however
low, to contribute and to bear his share of general dis-
tress now prevailing, partly from a failure of one portion
of the food of the people, and partly from speculation,
consequent upon that failure. lam willing to forego
any advantage that might accrue to myself should
a further advance take place in the price of Wheat, by
not charging more than one shilling per 41b. loaf for one
month (to my customers only), and if a dozen respect-
able bakers would join me in my views, 1 feel convinced
that we should materially influence the market; and,
moreover, by that time (the 22d June) we could form a
better idea of the forthcoming harvest, and the probable
amount of importation.
"N.B.,—Bread might be economised greatly in families
by the use of rice, plain boiled at dinner, a pound of
which at threepence, would be enough for nine persons;
it is not in much estimation, because it is generally not
well prepared, but nothing is more simple, viz.—Have
a gallon of water boiling—throw in one pound of whole
rice—one ounce of salt, let it boil twenty minutes, turn it
up into a sieve, let it drain for a few minutes, take a
couple of forks and toss it up to make it light."
There has nut been a great deal of business doing in
the Stock Market, but the effect of the decline in grain
has been to raise Consols about per cent., although a
slight reaction has occurred since, consequent upon
the sales of those who bought lower last week, and
desire to realise profits. The arrangements for settling the
account likewise influence prices, and it is still asserted
that the Bulls are the weakest party. The value of Con-
sols for transfer to-morrow is 87k to 87k, and for July
about 88 to 88k. Exchequer-bills realise par to 2s.
premium again. The New Three-and-a-quarter pc,r
Cents. are 874 to 88, and the Three per Cents. 86k
East India Stock has been at 242.
The dealings in the foreign market, as far as specula-
ion is concerned, are not of the least interest Spanish
Deferred Bonds have been 15, Brazilian have realised
834, Equador are 28, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. 584 to.
Shares have been rather firmer, although there is not
a large business doing.

MARKET NEWS.---(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

-
During last week the arrivals of English Wheat up
to our market, coastwise, were on the increase, and of
very prime quality, but those of all other articles of
home produce, including Flour, were extremely small.
From Ireland upwards of 1,200 quarters of Wheat, and
a few parcels of Oats and Flour, came to hand, while
the general receipts from Scotland were larger than for
many previous weeks. From abroad upwards of
1 32,000 quarters of Wheat, 11,000 ditto of Barley, 9,000
ditto of Oats, and 9,000 barrels of Flour came to hand ;
while the imports of other grain were en the whole
good. Fresh up a very moderate quantity of Wheat
of home produce came to hand, coastwise or by land-
carriage and sample. The show of that grain
being larger than for sometime past, the
attendance of buyers, both town and country,
by no means large, the country markets
coming considerably lower, the favourable state
of the weather for the growing crops, and the ab►ence
of foreign orders, produced considerable heaviness in the
English Wheat trade, and to effect sales the factors and
holders were compelled to submit to a decline in the
quotations obtained on Monday last of from six To
SEVEN SHILLINGS PER QUARTER, and a large portion of
the supply remained unsold at the close of the market.
The large arrival of foreign Wheat, above noticed, in-
duced much caution on the part of the millers in
effecting purchases. On the whole a good busi-
ness was passing in that article, at a decline
in the currencies of last week of fully FIVE
SHILLINGS PER QUARTER. Previously to the Con
elusion of business, some of the importers were
offering their cargoes in bulk at a further reduction in
value. We had a very small quantity of English Barley
on offer ; but that of Foreign was tolerably good.
Selected parcels of malting and grinding sold at barely
previous rates ; while all other kinds were Is to 2s per
quarter cheaper, with a very heavy trade. The supply
of Malt was very small, nevertheless, the Malt trade was
in a very depressed state, and, to effect sales, is to 2s
per quarter lees money must have been accepted
The quantity of Oats on offer was by no means large,
yet the Oat trade was in a very depressed state, and the
currencies declined 6d to Is per quarter. In Beans very
little was doing, at Is to 2s per quarter less money.
Peas of all kinds were heavy, and Is qer quarter lower.
Indian Corn was dull, but mostly held at full prices.
.Elour was a slow sale, at lest Friday's prices.

The imports of live stock into Loudon last week were
as under:—

From whence. Oxen. Cows. Sheep. Lambs. Calves.

Harlingen
Nieu Diep

Total .. 251

At the various outports, nearly 1,000 head of Beasts,
Sheep, Lambs, and Calves have been landed from Hol-
land and Germany in excellent condition. There were on
sale about 250 Beasts; 380 Sheep, 20 Lambs, and 20
Calves, the whole of which were disposed of at full
prices. The arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning
from our own grazing districts were seasonably good
and of excellent quality, especially those from Norfolk
and the western and midland counties. The attendance
of buyers was by no means numerous, owing to which,
and the prevailing warm weather, the Beef trade was
not so active as on Friday last, o❑ which day Beef ad-
vanced in value quite 4d per 81bs; yet the currencies
obtained on this day se'nnight were firmly supported in
every instance, the primest Scots readily producing 5s 4d
per Sibs, and at which a good clearance was readily effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received about 1,000 Scots, Home-breds, and Short-
horns ; from the Western and Midland counties, 600
Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of Eng-
land, 800 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 380
horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were on
the decrease, yet the Mutton trade was somewhat inac-
tive, at about last week's currencies. As nearly the
whole of the Sheep are now out of the wool, it must be
observed that our quotations solely refer to those shorn.
The best old Downs were selling at 5s 8d per Blbs.
From the Isle of Wight about 300 Lambs came fresh to
hand ; and the arrivals from other qaarters were tolera-
bly good. The Lamb trade was firm, at fully Friday's
advanced rates, the best qualities producing 7s per Sibs.
The Veal trade was very steady, at last week's prices.
In Pigs, only a moderate business was doing, at about
stationary figures.
