son will have nine.

A good deal of snow fell yesterday, and we have had
a few cold showers to-day, but the course is in first-rate
order. We fear it will not continue so, for the weather
iv very doubtful. The city, as yet, shows little of the
bustle incident to a great meeting, and not a bet has
been laid. Those who were on the course this morning
select Ruisborough, Ser.man, Kent's three, and the Black
Doctor, as having taken strong gallop 3, and gone re-
msrkably well. Mr. Osbaldeston's Derby horee did not
pleale them. Rhesus and Backbiter arrived only this
afternoon, and have not been out.

AN M.P. WANTED.

Who'll be a Member of Parliament? Who'll represent
the famed Isle of Wight?
These queries are being popped all over the island to
all sorts of persons, of all sorts of politics, and all sorts
of creeds, but no one answers, I will! Whence this
backwitrdness in coming forward; is it caused by want
of cash, want of talent, or want of principle? er is it
from the sheer modesty of the properly qualified portion
of our resident little great men?
Will no one volunteer to represent the Royal isle—
the ocean's pearl? Mr. Simeon cannot offer again, for
he says in his farewell address that " a change of views
al entire and decided entails upon me as an honourable
necessity the duty of returning into your hands the
trust which I am conscious I should never have received
had 1 been a Catholic at the time of my soliciting your
suffrages." 'This, then, is a closer so far as he is con-
cerned, and we cannot now ask him to retain his sat as
some otherwise might have felt inclined to do. The
only consolation that we have left is that if we are not
represented we shall perhaps be in a more fortunate
situation than many other constituencies--we shall not
be misrepresented.

STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE MERcEY
AND TIIE BRAZILS.-A communication between the Mersey
and the Brazils, by means of large and powerful screw
steam-ships, is in progress, under the auspices and pro-
prietary interest of sonic of our most extensive Brazilian
houses. There are considerations which render the establish-
ment of such an enterprise an occurrence, at the present
moment, of peculiar value. Probably three-fourths of the
commerce carried on between this country and the Brazils is
conducted by Liverpool merchants and Liverpool capital.
The formation of an independent line from Liverpool is also
important in order to protect the interests of the merchants
cf Liverpool from the rival power of Southampton. Gra-
dually, had no such enterprise been originated, oar trode
would have been swept into other channels; and not only a
direct, but a subsidiary, loss would have been sustained, in-
asmuch as every cargo diverted from Liverpool would not
only be so much loss to us, but would be gain to ports
which subsequently would exert their growing powers to
our subversion. The line will consist of at least three steam-
ships, built ofironby the masters of the craft, of large ton-
nage and steam-power, and moulded on the most approved
principles.—Liverpool Albion.

THE NIGHTINGALE.—This bird arrives in England
somewhere about the middle of April. The malee,asiti
the case of the blackcap, come several days before the
females; they are very easily caught, and the lynx-eyed,
quick-eared birdcatchers are immediately on the watch, so
that they may secure them before the arrival of their mates,
for it is a sadtruth, that if a male nightingale be taken after
his song has won fur Lim a partner, he hardly ever survives
in a cage -he dies broken-hearted.—Broderip's Zoological
Recreations,

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.

By the arrival of the United States mail steamship
Baltic, Captain Comstock, we have received advice&
from New York to the 16th
.inst. She brings
30,5141. in specie and 204 pAssengers. Simms, the
fugitive slave, whose arrest at Boston created so much
(xcitetneA, has been sent back to the state from which
be fled. The Tribune states, that while the West
India mail-steamer was waiting outside of the bar of
Tampico, on the 6th ult., for specie amounting to
nearly 800,000 dulls., a " norther" sprang up, and she
was compelled to leave the coast at once, without the

money.
From Havannah we have advices to the Bth inst.
We subjoin the mercantile report. Rumours, appa-
rently baked upon some foundation, relative to a re-
newed invasion of Cuba, were rife.
From Mexico we have advices to the 22d of March.
The Government finances were in a bad condition.
The American indemnity had been nearly all spent,
and the deficiency on the Ist of the month was
2,500,000 dolls.
From Jamaica we have advices to the sth instant.
The crops at Trelawey this season will be deficient by
one-fourth.

Accounts from Hayti to the Ist announce that the
late Minister of Justice, and several persons of high
standing, had been publicly shot by order of the
Emperor.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
MONEY MARKET.
NEW YORK, APRIL 16.-Negotiations for money are
not quite so easy as last week. Exchange for the Baltic
opened with an advance on sterling, and to this fact
alone may be ascribed the present stringency in the
market. Sales of bills on London have been made at
110 to 1101, mostly at 110 to 1101. On Paris, 5 111
to 5 10. Amsterdam, 41i to 411. Isla.mburgh, 36- to
361. 13remen, 78'7'4 to 79. The transactions in the con-
tusental funds have been mod rate. Short paper of the
first class is in request at 6 to 61 per cent.; but in other
descriptions the rates are firm at our quotations. Money
on demand upon the hypothecation of mercantile paper
and stock securities readily commands 6 to 7 per cent.
Specific loans are not so readily made, in consequence of
the continued scarcity of floating capital. There has
been a fair market for sound stocks, with a fair demand
for Government and States Securities.
Cotton-For a few days succeeding 'the arrival of
the Baltic's favourable intelligence there was an active
demand, but since then the market has receded some-
what, with a less active inquiry, the decline being
greatest on the low grades. We revise our quotations,
which now stand Tic. to se. lower than on the sth inst.
The sales of Saturday last were 1,000 bales, at a con-
cession of *c. on low grades, included in the
above, but Monday and yesterday there was a good
demand, without change in prices. The receipts of cot-
ton at ail the shipping ports are 1,927,991 bales, against
1,749,065 to the same dates last year, an increase this
season of 171,976 bales; the total foreign receipts this
year, are 258,026 bales more than last; say 183,287 bales
increase to Great Britain, 46,503 increase to France,
28,423 increase to the north of Europe, and 29,813 in-
creare to other foreign ports. The shipments from
southern to northern ports are 178,911 bales less this

4,923 bales.

hundred tons Scotch pig, at 20 dolls. 50c. to 21 dolls.

crop of Indian corn being light ia now almost exhausted,

to 69c. for southern end northern yellow, and 70c. for
White Jersey; for delivery in June there are sales at

FATAL ACCIDENTS IN REGENT-STREET„—Yester-
day Mr. Laugham held an inquest in' St. George's Hospital,
on Valentine Symons, aged 26, a painter, in the employ of
Mr. Jackson, contractor under the Woods and Forests. De-
ceased was working at the front of 86, Quadrant, when a
ladder, adjoining that on which he was standing, tilted over,
and knocked him down a height of 15 feet. He was taken
up and carried to the hospital, where he died from the effect
of the injuries, which consisted of tvto fractures of the skull.
Great blame was attached to two men named Lambert and
Markham, to *hose negligence the accident was attributed,
and the jury, in returning a verdict of accidental death, told
them that they had narrowly escaped a charge of man-
slaughter.—Mr. 11. M. Wakley held an inquest in the Mid-
dlesex Hospital, on William Toombes, a painter, aged 32.
Deceased, while painting the front of 311, Regent-street,
occupied by Mr. Turner, a veterinary surgeon, incautiously
placed a ladder which he was using on a scaffolding that was
too narrow, when it slipped, and he fell a height of twelve
feet, fracturing his spine. Verdict—" Accidental death.'
Both these accidents occurred in the same street, and at about
the same hour.
DEATH. OF THE COUNTESS OF RADNOR.—We
regret to announce the death of this noble lady, which took
place on Sunday morning at Lord Radner's seat, Coleshill,
Berks. Her Ladyship had been in declining health for some
time past, nevertheless her demise occurred somewhat unex-
pectedly. She was the daughter of the late Sir Henry
Paulet St. John Mildmay, and married the Earl of Radnor in
.1814. Her Ladyship was much beloved by her death many
noble families are placed in mourning.
WESTMINSTER ABBEY OPEN TO TILE PUBLIC.—

Westminster Abbey to the public without charge on and after
Sunday next. Ci:-culara have been dispatched to the choirs
of the different cathedrals throughout the country request-
ing their attendance. There will be a full choir every Sun-
day evening.
