DOVER, FRIDAY.
Baron Brunow arrived at Dover from Calais

this morning, at 9 o'clock.

His Excellency, who is staying at the Ship
Hotel, will proceed to town by the 12 o'clock

train.

The Colonial Produce Markets this week have
been rather more active, and most of the principal
staples have commanded firm prices. Sugar has
been in fair demand at fully previous rates, and of
coffee there have been moderate purchases at full
values. Tea has remained dull, and at the public
sale a large quantity was taken in. Rice has been
firm, especially the fine sorts; in cocoa no change of
importance has occurred, and rum has met with
fair inquiry. Pepper and cloves have been rather
cheaper, saltpetre has tended downwards, and co-
chineal has been at previous quotations. In cotton
a moderate business has been done. Tallow has
continued dull.

FRANCE.

Our letter from Paris, dated yesterday evening,
had not arrived when our afternoon edition went
to press.

PRUSSIA.
i3ERLIN, APRIL 30.
The Shuts Anzeiger, of last night, published the
text of the treaty of peace.
We have received further telegraphic informa-
tion to-day of a fresh outbreak having taken place
at Nablous on the 15th, in repetition of what had
already occurred there on the 4th. It is stated
that the energetic conduct of the Pasha and of the
consuls in Jerusalem, to whom applications for
assistance had been made, had succeeded in quel-
ling the disturbance ; oa this occasion oue life only
has been lost.

The business of the Bank of London progresses
satisfactorily, as will be seen from the following
summary of the eighth monthly balance-sheet :
Dr. To paid-up capital, 300,000/. ;to amount due
by the Bank on current and other accounts,
1,076,4721. 17s. 21. Cr. By Government and
other securities, bills discounted, cash on hand,
ikc., 1,376,472/. 17s. 2d.
The market for public securities has been rather
unsettled, some heavy sales having been made upon
the expectation that the Bank return will show a
further deficiency in the stock of bullion. An
attempt has been made to " hang" the mar-
ket, but this was only partially successful,
an influential dealer having appeared as a pur-
chaser of stock. Consols for money have been
92 A, 924 I, and 92k 1. The account prices
have been 921 1, and since 921 s. Thu New 3
per Cents. are about 911 /, and the Reduced 91 to
914. Bank Stock has been quoted aslow as 210.
The March Exchequer Bills are 5s to Is. discount,
and the June 9s. to 4s. discount. East India
Bonds are 10s. to ss. discount.

The Russian Minister here gives a grand dinner
to-day in honour of the birthday of his Imperial
master, the proper anniversary of which, however,
fell yesterday, and was duly kept at Charlottenburg.
All the ministers, the corps diplomatique, the supe-
rior officers of the Court and the army, and the
commander of the 3d Regiment of Ilu,s,ars
(of which the Emperor is Colonel), are to be pre-
sent. Almost the whole personnel of the Russian
Embassy has been changed of late ; all the former
membere, with the exception of the Minister him-
self, have received other appointments, and it is
expected that Baron Budberg will also, ere long,
be appointed to Vienna. The Empress Mother is
expected here in the middle of May to stay for a
fortnight in Potsdam, and then repair to Stutt-
gard and Wildbad.
Count, Munster, who has been absent from his
post as Prussian military attaché at St. Petersburg
during the past winter, has lately returned thither.
On the 23d inst. he passed through Warsaw on his
way back.

About a week back Memel was at length visited
ngain by a Russian steam frigate, a sight 'the
iNlemelers had not seen for sonic while. The Rus-
sian.deterinineci to draw ample attention to the
fact of the flag's re-appearing off that coast by
saluting the town in due style.

In Foreign Securities there is very little anima-
tion. Mexican Bonds are heavy in consequence
of no remittance having arrived, and the quotation
is 22 to 221. Chilian 6 per Cants. are 104, Rus-
sian 4i per Cents. 941, and Sardinian 5 per Cents.
95. Spanish Securities are firmer, the Threes
being 441, and the New Deferred 214 -g. Turkish
6 per Cents. opened at 97i, but they have since
been 96:1, while the 4 per Cents. are 1001. Dutch
21 per Cents. are 631

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.
(This Day.)

Yesterday her Majesty, according to annual cus-
tom, honoured the Royal Academy with a visit, for
the purpose of inspecting the collection of paintings
displayed upon the walls of the three principal
apartments. To-day we had the satisfaction of
attending the " private view," and of there and
then sauntering round the gallery, catalogue in
hand, noting whatever appeared to our judgment
most notable in this Exhibition for 1856, the eighty-
eighth since the date of the Academy's inauguration.
To-morrow the yearly May dinner will be given to
her Majesty's Ministers and other guests of note,
with the President, Sir Charles Eastlake, as chair-
man. And—the aroma of the banquet having
evaporated during the intervening Sunday—the
public will be admitted as usual on the morning of
the first Monday in the vernal month of flowers,
to a less substantial feast than the one now in pre-
paration for our administrators and acade-
micians, and yet one withal worthy of gratifying
the fastidious taste of a more intellectual gourmand
than Lucullus. More anon, we shall (be sure of
that) have to say of the present season's collection
in detail. At present we can only speak of it
cursorily in generalities. Among those who do
not exhibit this year, are artists of no less import-
ance than Mulready, and Maclise, and Egg, and
Eastlake. Among the exhibitors, the one who
disappoints us most of all, perhaps, is the young
artist who gave such large promise last spring, by his
limning of the artistic procession, a picture, it
be remembered, which was immediately purchased
by the Sovereign. Ward delights us with another
glimpse of the Great French Revolution. Landseer
has another wonderful painting of a Newfoundland
Dog, dedicated to the Royal Humane Society.
Sant almost equals, his exquisite Samuels by his,
lovely portraits of two of the very beautiful chid-,
dren of his Graca the Duke of Argyll. Stan.
field portrays with as magic a p3ucil as
ever the hull of a nameless ship weltering
upon the rolling waves, far away at sea, a picture
called "The Abandono I." celebrates the
abominable peace in a manner many will consider
hardly less abominable, namely, that, of course,
of those astonishing retrograding-innovators the
Pr&--Raphaelites. L'Enfunt du Regiment, from
the hand of the same youthful geniut, appears,
however, to our mind, a picture in its way perfectly,
exquisite. Hunt, who is second only to Millais,
astounds every visitor to the gallery with his parti•
coloured painting of the " Scapegoat," a production
some laugh at, while others stand before it lost in
admiration. Webster contributes a thoroughly Eng-
lish picture—a picture as truly national, and,
let us add too, as marvellously natural as any ofHo.
garth's—in his masterly cottage interior illustra-
tive of the dear old game of childhood, " Hide
and Seek." Everybody who looks at it smiles
upon it a panegyric better than any words could
possibly pronounce. Young O'Neill, with his
view of " Market Day," gives larger promises
than ever of following, not unworthily, in the
footsteps of Wilkie—and reveals, we cannot bu'
think, very remarkable powers indeed as a humorist.
Lance, too, in a lower walk of art—what a fruit
piece he feasts our eyes with—a painting calculated
if possible to extend rather than merely to
sustain his unique reputation. Linnell's pastoral
version of " Summer Crops"—Solomon's laughing
group of "Doubtful Fortune,"—Boddington's de-
licious little peep of a "Bright Day on the
Thames"—Robert's wonderful interior of " St.
Peter's on Christmas Day"—R elgrave's green
forest vista troddenhy "Little Red Riding Hood"
—Uwins's " Gleaners leaving the Stubble Field"—
Poole's " Conspirators," Goodall's " Cranmer,"
and Frost's " Graces"—such are among a few of
the other picture's appearing to us, on our first
visit, to be especially noteworthy. As for portraits,
the rooms are, as usual, hung with them in profu-
sion. But, then, we can hardly find it in our heart
to quarrel with their multiplicity, remembering how
many of them aro invested, by mere association,
with peculiar interest! Are there not among those
portraits—life-like effigies of such men of mark as
Charles Dickens, and Thomas Carlyle, and Richai d
Owen, and Samuel Warren, and Austin Layard,
and other living celebrities, in science, philo-
sophy and literature ? Enough, however, in
this hurried survey cf the Gallery immediately
after our return frum the Private view of it during
the course of this present afternoon : sufficient
having already been remarked by us to show
tliat, notwithstanding our exceeding regret at
the absence of such men as Mulready and Maclise
from among the chief exhibitors, we are dis-
posed to regard the present exhibition, as in seve-
ral respects something above the average of the
Royal Academy collections.

The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have
received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated
Mexico, 2il ult. The Government of General
Canaanfort has been considerably strengthened by
the surrender of Puebla on the 221 of March last.
This packet brings no remittance for the dividend
fund ; but it is hoped that things will soon return
to a more regular course.

The Ecuatorian Commission of Agency yesterday
received a further remittance of 2,905/. Us. 3d.,
on account of the dividends on the foreign debt of
the Republic.

Railway shares aro without any general move-
ment of importance, and the market continues
quiet. N)rth-Eastern, Berwick and South-Eastern
are at rather fuller quotations. Foreign and Co-
lonial are generally firm. East Indian and Great

Meuse rule heavy. Llrnbardo-Venetian are still
51 1, but they are in request on foreign account.
National Discount shares area discount to
premium. BAnking shares are rather firmer.

DEATH OF MR. GUTHRIE, F.R.S.—We regret to :An-
nounce the death of that distinguished surgeon, Mr. J.
Guthrie, which took place yesterday morning, at hie
residence, Berkeley-street, Berkeley-square. Mr.
Guthrie was born in 1785, and commenced at an early
age, in the army of his country, a career which con-
ducted him
to the highest places in his profession. His
various permanent contributions to the healing art,
chiefly in the form of lectures, contemplate almost eve ry
form of lesion to which the human body is liable ; bat
his chief attention was directed to the eye and its
diseases. The Ophthalmic Hospital in King William_
street, Strand, was founded by Mr. Guthrie at a time
when the special study of distinct branches of surgery
was leas usual than at present, and having been esta-
blished almost entirely by his dire crions, received for
forty years the aslvant.sge of his s'seady support. Mr.
Guthrie was for many years one of the examiners of the
Royal College of Surgeons, and several times became
president of that eminent corporation. His death was
not unexpected, having been preceded by several
months' illness arising from an aft action of the heart.
He leaves ons son, Mr. C. G. Guth' ie, and a
daughter. -
WELLINGTON COLLEGE.—We are authorised to state
that, owing to the unfavourable sta to of the weather,
and the little appare..t prospect of as change within the
next 24 hours, her Majesty has been p:eased to command
that the ceremony of laying the first stone of the Well-
ington College, and the military review, which were to
have taken place to-morrow (Saturday), the 31 inst., be
postponed until a day, hereafter to be is arced, in the first
week in June.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.---A singular accident happened
to the Simla steamer, which went t. the naval review
last week. As she passed the station of the middle buoy
in the Solent the buoy was found to be mis,ing. The
Simla arrived off Southampton without anything appa-
rently the matter with her; but while at anchor she did
not swing with the tide. Soundings were made, and it
was found there was plenty of water to enable her to
giving. A diver was sent down to examine her, when
he found the chain of the middle buoy coiled round her
screw. She is unable to proceed to the Crimea until she
is docked in consequence of this accident.
THE FRENCH OFFICERS AND THE NAVAL REVIEW.—
Her Majesty's ship Porcupine, Lieutenant Commander
G. M. Balfour, was placed by the Government at the
disposal of the French Admiral during his stay at Ports-
mouth. After taking the Adinirai from the French
corvette to the royal yacht, she carried during the whole
of the review the officers whom the Einp,rir of the
French had deputed to repre3ent him. The P^rcupine
kept close to the Victoria and Albert. Our eallant
allies expressed themselves highly gratified with the
grandeur of the spectacle and the excellent arrangements
on board, which enabled them so well to appreciate it.
