CO LMERCIAL 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 feet
alone may be ascribed the present stringency in the
market. Sales of bills on London have been made at
110 to Iloi, mostly at 110 to 110-1. On Paris, 5 11*
to 5 10. Amsterdam, 41i to 414 e Hamburgh, 361 to
364. Bremen, 784 to 79. The transactions in the con-
tinental funds have been moderate. Short paper of the
first class is in request at 6 to 6i 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 flouting 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 *e. to ie.. lower than on the sth inst.
The sales of Saturday last were 1,000 bales, at a con-
cession of ?lc. 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 all 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 lust; 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-
crease to other foreign ports. The shipments from
southern to northern ports are 178,911 bales less this

is
held at 112 c. to 116 c.; Ohio, 100 c. to 105 e. Canadian
in bond is inquired for at 102 c. to 104 c. The southern
crop of Indian corn being light is now almost exhausted,
and the arrivals are small. The closing prices are 68c.
to 69c. for southern and northern yellow, and 70c. for
White Jersey; for delivery in June there are sales at
62c. for western mixed; cornmeal brings 3 dolls. to

SAVANNAH, APRIL 11.-The cotton market opened
with a fair demand at previous prices, which continued
until eleven o'clock, when the accounts by the Africa

FATAL ACCIDENTS IN REGENT-STREET.—Yester-
day Mr. Laugh= 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 ha 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 two fractures of the skull.
Great blame was attached to two men named Lambert and
Markham, to whose 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. H. M. Wakley held au 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 TILE COUNTESS OF RADNOR......We
regret to announce the death of this noble lady, which took
place on Sunday morning at Lord Radnor'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 familieiai.e placed in mourning.

ing their attendance. There will be a full choir every Sun-
day eyeuipg.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR
EDWARD CODRINGTON, G.C.B.
We regret to announce the demise of Admiral Sir
Edward Codrington, G.O 8., one of the oldest flag-
officers in the British Navy, whose brilliant naval
career is identified with our national annals. The
venerable and gallant Admiral expired last evening
at his town residence in Eaton-square, shortly after
six o'clock. The gallant deceased was son of Mr.
Edward Codrington, brother of the late Sir William
Codrington, Bart. He was horn in 1770, and had
consequently reached the ripe age of eighty years.
In July, 17i3, being in his fourteenth year, he
entered the navy as a midshipman, and after a pro-
bationary career of nearly ten years he obtained his
lieutenancy. Without going into detail of the ser-
vices rendered by the Gallant Admiral, we cannot
notice his decease without mentioning that he was
Lieutenant of the Queen Charlotte in Lord Howe's
action ; that he commanded the Babet in Lord Brid-
port's celebrated victory ; the Orion, under the im-
mortal Nelson at Trafalgar ; the Blake in the IVal-
cheren expedition ; that during the Peninsular war
he had the command of a squadron in co-operation
with the Spanish patriots off the coast of Catalonia ;
and was subsequently Captain of the fleet stationed
on the coast of America.

The crowning achievement in the life of the de-
ceased Admiral was, however, the battle of Navari❑o,
when the Russian and French squadrons acted under
his general orders. The instructions issued by the
Admiral for the positions of anchoring and the order
of battle were concluded by Lord Nelson's well-
known maxim, that " If a general action should take
place no captain can be better placed than when his
vessel is alongside one of the enemy." The Asia,
the Vice-Admiral's ship, bore a leading part in the
conflict. After having disposed of two Egyptian men-
of- war, she became exposed to a severe raking fire,
which carried away her mizen-mast and dismounted
many of her guns. Vice-Admiral Codrington was him-
self struck, and his watch shattered in his pocket.
The victory, howeN er, was complete. In the Admiral's
official dispatch the condition of the enemy's fleet on
the morning after the action is thus described :
" Out of a fleet composed of 81 men of war, only
1 frigate and 15 small vessels are in a state ever to
be again put to sea." In reward for this distinguished
service, Sir E. Codrington was advanced to the dig-
nity of the Grand Cross of the Bath; while from the
Emperor of Russia he received the Grand Cross of St.
George, and from the King of France the Grand
Cross of St. Louis.

During the administration of the late Earl Grey
the gallant Sir Edward was the naval Commander-
in-Chief at Portsmouth. Since the expiration of the
usual term of service he has not held any appoint-
ment. Sir Edward represented the borough of De-
vonport in 1832, and in several successsive sessions in
the House of Commons. In 1809 he married Miss
Hall, of New Windsor, by whom he leaves a family.
Sir Edward's commissions were dated as follow :
Lieutenant, 28th May, 1793 ; Commander, 7th Oc-
tober, 1794 ; Captain, 6th April, 1805 ; Rear-
Admiral, 4th June, 1814 ; Vice-Admiral, 19th July,
1821. He became an Admiral of the White in 1841.

- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Sir Francis Baring, Admiral Dundas, and all the
other members of the board have returned to the Admi-
ratty.
Lieut. James IL Morgan's (of the Royal Marine)
sudden death at Tenby, on the 11th inst., has been re-
ported.
The Turkish steam-frigate Feiji Bahri is expected at
Spithead, from Southampton, when it is expected the
frigate and brig that have wintered in this country will
proceed to Constantinople, touching for a few days at
Plymouth.
The Prussian man-of-war corvette Mercure is daily
expected at Spithead.
Crane, late packet brig, having had her bottom com-
pleted, was taken out of No. 2 dock at Devonport on
Saturday, and the Tortoise lighter, taken in the same
tide.
Devon lighter, Bond master, arrived at Devonport
on Sunday, with stores from Pembroke.
Sprightly steam-tender, Master-Commander Alley,
sailed at nine A.M. on Saturday from Devonport, for
Portsmouth; she is expected at Devonport again on
Wednesday with Admiral Ommannoy, and will then
take away Sir W. H. Gage, who will leave the port
universally respected. The Devon lighter, Bond mas-
I ter, will be appropriated to convey the furniture to the
River.

The Sir John Falstaff barque, belonging to Ports-
mouth, sailed on Friday with a cargo of coals for the

turn cargo of teak wood.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK. -- Wind
northerly, with cold weather.—Yesterday and last night
we have had unsettled weather, with squalls of snow,
and occasionally thunder and lightning. Put in the
Dutch ship De Amatel, Captain V. Dwyn, from Amster-
dam to Batavia, with loss of cutwater, works of head,
flying jibbooms, &0., having been in contact with the
Spanish brig Dacila, Captain Arozena, off Beachy Head,
early on the morning of the 27th instant, and very
shortly after wards the Spanish brig sunk, her crew and
passengers having barely time to save their lives on
board the Amstel, some of them in a state of nudity.
They were very kindly and humanely treated by Cap-
tain Van Dwyn, of the Amatel. L. Vanden Bergh,
Esq., the Dutch consul here, having had intimation of
the accident to the Dutch ship, and that she was off the
Isle of Wight, with his usual promptness applied for a
Government steamer to render such assistance as might
be essential, and soon after the steamer succeeded is
falling in with her, and the Amstel was accordingly
safely towed into this port about noon. It appears the
collision was purely accidental, and only attributable to
the darkness of the night, which both commanders have
fully admitted and agreed to. The Dacila was from Te-
neriffe, laden with wine and cochineal, bound to London.
We regret to add, one of her crew was unfortunately
drowned.
PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—Her Majesty's steam-fri-
gate Retribution, 22, Captain Frederick Warden, came

WOOLWICH, APRIL 28.--APPOINTMENT.—Master's
Assistant George Morice to the Southampton, 50, flag-

The Leopard, 12, steam-frigate, of 560-horse power,
engines by Messrs. Seaward and Co., went down the
river to-day on trial in charge of Mr. Brown, Second
Master-Attendant at Devonport Dockyard, and the
crew that brought round the Greenock steam-frigate to
Woolwich. Mr. Humphrya, chief engineer at Woolwich
Dockyard; and Mr. Hughes, assistant to the chief
engineer at Somerset House, went in the Leopard
to witness and report on the working of the en-
gines; and the following officers, at preseat studying
steam at the factory in Woolwich Dockyard, were
on board :—Captain Murray, Captain Sir Frederick
Nicolson, Commander F. Egerton, Commander G.
Ogle, Commander T. Hope, Lieutenants N. G. Brick-
nell and J. N. Norman. The Leopard, on arriving
at the Lower Hope, ran the measured mile once
down and once up, and made a speed on the average of
9 2-Ioths knots per hour, and then returned to Wool-
wich at two o'clock r.m. On her return up the river she
kept considerably ahead of one of the fast Leith boats
belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company,
and was half-an-hour sooner at Woolwich than the
Monkey steam-vessel, which accompanied her during the
trial.

The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander
Henry W. Allen, was taken into the basin to-day to be
refitted and newly painted on the Black Eagle, Master-

SYMPATHY OF THE RUSSIANS AND
FRENCH IN THE FATE OF SIR JOHN
FRANKLIN.

By private letters received from her Majesty's; ship
Enterprise, Captain Collinson, C. 8., dated Hong-
Kong, 26th February, it would seem that much
sympathy is felt by the Russians in the fate of our
miQsing Collrtryn-icru.
The following is an extract of a private letter from
one of the officers serving on board :
"We left two officers, Lieut. Barnard and Mr.
Adams, assistant-surgeon, at Michaelowski and Nor-
ton Sound, with orders to proceed into the interior,
vnd see whether any communication takes place be-
tween the Russian ports and the natives inhabiting
the shores of the Polar Sea. From Michaelowski I
went to Sitka, where from the researches of the
Russians we find our Polar chart, as far as the Col-
ville, is concerned, totally in error. The Yoncon, it
would appear, is the head water of the iiverpak,
which runs into Bebring Sea to the southward of
Norton Sound, and they have no port on any river
emptying itself into the Polar Sea.
"We found a great disposition on the part of the
Russian authorities to aid in our search. The Go-
vernor-General, Captain Resenburgh, has ordered the
post of Michaelowski to be reinforced this year by 18
Aleutians and nine skin boats, which are to be
placed at Captain Moore's disposal, should he require
them. The men are armed with rifles, are expert
hunters, live upon Esquimaux diet, and speak a
dialect of the same tongue. The skin boats are what
the Russians have made use of in all their exploring
expeditions.
" We are to sail on the Ist of April to Bebring's

Straits.
" Lieut. Bellot, of the French navy, Knight of the
Legion of Honour, has volunteered his services, by
permission of the Minister of Marine of France, to
join an Arctic expedition, and speaks of the enthu-
siasm felt in the French navy that one of their own
officers should be embarked in the sacred cause which
has engaged the sympathies of all nations. This
devotion is alike creditable to the officers and to the
nation."

LAUNCH OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.—This beau-
tiful model of a 20-gun frigate arrived from Woolwich at an
early hour on Sunday morning, and was brought ashore at
Cubitt's-wharf, Pimlico, the same day, at high water. Yes-
terday morning, at five o'clock, nine horses were attached to
the sledge on which she was landed, which proceeded at a
slow pace towards the Serpentine, Hyde-park, where she ar-
rived at ten o'clock, having occupied five hours in her transit,
part of which was taken up in mending one of the wheels of
the sledge, owing to the tyre coming off no less than four
times. Having arrived on the north side of the Serpentine,
preparations were made for launching, when she was dragged
with some difficulty to the water's edge. One of her hawsers
was taken across to the south side, and fastened to the horses,
when, after some few casualties, and the breaking of the haw-
ser, which was soon made good, she was dragged off the sledge
into the water; but, unfortunately, in so doing, her rudder
was broken. The riggers have been set to work, and will
have her completed by the Ist of May.
ADMISSION OF SOLICITORS. —The Master of the
Rolls has appointed Tuesday, May 6, at the Rolls Court,
Chancery-lane, at four o'clock in the afternoon precisely, for
swearing solicitors. Every person desirous of being sworn
on the above day must leave his common-law admission or
his certificate of practice for the current year at the Secre-
tary's Office, Rolls-yard, Chancery-lane, on or before Monday,
May 5.
THE ALDERMANIC GOWN OF BRIDGE WITHOUT.—
The vacancy in the Ward Bridge Without, caused by the
death of Sir C. S. Hunter, will be filled at the next Court of
Aldermen. Alderman Thompson, as senior alderman, is en-
titled to the office, which has not so many duties connected
with it as the alderman of any other ward is obliged to per-
form. The inhabitants of the Ward of Cheap, of which Mr.
Thompson is the alderman, not wishing to lose a man of such
high respectability, resolved to petition him to remain
among them, and he has consented. The next alderman in
rotation for the privileged ward is Sir J. Key.

THE GREAT PAIR IN THE PARISH OF KENSING-
TON, NEARRENSAL NEW TOWN.—On Saturday the most
active preparations were in progress for the opening of this
fair on Thursday next. The precise locality, or that which
will be at any rate the nucleus of this holiday fair, is a
large field— say twenty acres—abutting on the south of the
Talbot-road, by the Westbourne Water Works, and running
up northward to the bridge which crosses the Great Western
Railway, near the new ragged school at the south-western
extremity of Kensal New Town. The best way of approach
from me st parts of London to the site of the affair is by the
Royal Oak public-house, Paddington, then up Albert-terrace,
to the left into Westbourne Park-road, which runs into the
Talbot-road, adjoining the field in which the fair will be
held. The nearest public-house to it is the Artesian Arms,
the landlord of which may reckon upon making a fortune.
The field yesterday contained from sixty to seventy shown
vans, amongst which several belonging to the well-know
Richardson and Nelson Lee were visible. Wombwell's not
_as
large wild
beast vans, from which great things are expected, hasbooth—
indeed
arrived. The most remarkable feature is a
indeed it may be called a one-story building t
finished at the upper extremity of the field.
We understand
almosttand
that it is to be a casino on a monstre scale. The roads leading
and waggons
to the field were thronged with show Tans
laden with materials for constructtoinrg
themboo all, so that we
booths. The field in
question will, we think,
should not be surprised giveto see t
spacehe fair extend south-west-
ward to the Hippodrome.
PAYMENT OF CUSTOMS
DUTlES._Yesterday notice
was issued that on and after the 6th of May all duties under
151. will have to be paid
in the Customs treasury, instead
of the long room, as tit present.payments of not less than 501. (in-
stead of 100/. as For the convenience of
merchants and others,
formerly) may be made at the Bank of
England.
Messengers will be dispatched every half-hour
between the Bank and Custom-house. On and after the 6th
of May great alterations, with a view to expedite public bu-
siness, are to be made in the Customs department.
