COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market remains quiet. At public salo pre-
vious rates were in most instances realised.
SUGAL—There has been rather more animation, and a
fair demand has been experienced for the better descriptions,
chiefly for home consumption. Business in the refined
market, however, has been steady, and prices generally
well maintained.

COFFEE.—The market has shown less buoyancy, and
quotations have given way 6d to is per cwt. for Plantation
Ceylon. _

RICE.—No biisiness of any importance has been recorded,
and values are unaltered.

SALTPETRE.—There has been a fair inquiry for the supe-
rior qualities at about previous rates.
INDIGO—The public sales have progressed steadily, and
for the middling and useful qualities a further slight ad-
vance has taken place in prices.

TALLQW—The market has been inactive, the transac-
tions for consumption and en speculative account having
keen extremely limited. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted Hx,
and the list three months, Ns 6d per cwt, sellers.

prices has rendered the pay of the native troops
insufficient for their support, while, on the other
hand, the rate of agricultural wages iS offering
them every temptation for private. erriplopient.
We are therefore, it is argued, in . a position of
great advantage at the turning point of two poli-
cies. We I:nay:reduce our native armies and im-
prove the condition of the remainder ; or we may
retrain them, and " use cur ,strengthto impose upon
the people of India a new system of taxation which
is extremely distast,:ful to them." The people of
India, moreover, *bile they will submit to imposts
which teem founded on lung established.usage, are
especially disposed to meet new ekperiments by
j..active or passive resistance. In Madras " they
' would tab:c the restoration of the transit and town
duties as a matter of course, but the introduction
of direct taxation is daleifated to arouse all their
latent feelings of opposition. The authority of the
Indian law-giver Menu would have no more influ-
ence with them than quotations from.the Rubric
or Canon Law would have upon a country con-
gregation in England suffering from the innova-
tion of :a reforming High Church clergyman."
Not one in ten thousand ever heard of the '
Institutes of Menu: In relation to the reproach
attempted to be thrown out, that Madras
and Bombay desire exemption, Sir Charles
simply refers to the fact that the people of
those Presidencies' think it hard they should
be taxed for a rebellion in which they took
no part, but, on the contrary, did all they could to
help to put it down. In Madras a series of well-
considered reforms are in active progress, which,
carried to completion, will change the face of the
South of India. If the new taxes are imposed,
swarms of harpies will again be let loose upon the
country, whereas, if the people are allowed to pur-
- sure their course; the Government of Madras will
"undertake to realise by reduction of expenditure
more than the most sanguine estimates that can be
formed of the net revenue desirable from the three
proposed taxes in that Presidency." It is, observes
Sir Charles, characteristic of the manner in which
these three " tremendous " taxes are proposed to be
applied to all the various peoples, nations, and lan-
guages composing the British empire in India, that
there are confessed to be "absolutely no data upon
which any reliable calculation can be made of their
result." "I can," adds Sir Charles, "assign a fixed
measure of the results to be obtained by the reduc-
tion of military expenditure." The document'thus
summarised is dated Madras, the 20th of March, and
is accompanied by a minute of concurrence from
Sir Patrick Grant, the Commander-in-Chief, another
from the Hon. R. Maltby, and another from the Hon.
W. A. Morehead, the remaining member of Council.
The two last gentlemen, however, have signified
that they did not intend their respective minutes
for publication.—times' City Article.

GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION TO

SICILY.
London, England, 1860-05-11

HYDE PARK.

Sir M. PETO asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether, in the event of the Government entertaining the
proposition of connecting the north and south sides of Hyde
Park by a road, he would lay plans, sections, and estimates
of such proposed road upon the table of the house prior to
any vote being taken to carry the same into effect ?
Mr. COWPER said that the subject was receiving the
most careful consideration from the Board of Works, and
before asking for a vote in reference to a matter of such
importance he would lay the estimate for the works before
the house.

POOR -LAW BOARD.
Sir M. PET 0 asked the President of the Poor Law Board
whether, as the powers of the Poor Law Board expired at the
end of the present session of Parliament, it was the intention
of the Government to introduce in the present session a bill
for the renewal of those powers ; and, if so, when such bill
would be introduced ?
Mr. VILLIE RS replied that it was intended to introduce
such a bill this session.

four barges, each 136 feet long, 30 feet broad, and
7 feet deep, and one barge 160 feet long, 30 feet
broad, and 7 feet deep. The total capacity of these
five barges is about 120,000 cubic feet, or reckon-
inn, 40 cubic feet to the ton, 3,000 tons, but on the
average, the train of barges is not expected to carry
more than 2,000 tons of cargo. This is at least five
times more than can be carried by the most power-
ful of the steamers at present plying on the Ganges,
and as the power will be generated with great
economy of fuel, vessels of this class may reason-
ably be expected to be very profitable. It is at least
certain, that no vessel of the power and efficiency
of the Jumna has been yet either made or projected
for the navigation of any of the rivers of India, the
nearest approach thereto being the Ganges steamer,
also belonging to the Oriental Inland Steam Com-
pany, and which has proved herself capable of at-
taining a high rate of speed, and of towing a string
of barges with great efficiency. The Jumna, with
water in the boilers, and coal in the coal boxes, will
only draw about 2 feet 3 inches of water. No vessel
ever before built will combine in so eminent a de-
gree, the three requisites indispensable for the
navigation of the Indian rivers with permanent
success, viz., large engine power, great capacity
for carrying cargo, and a light draught of water.
The field in which the Oriental Inland Steam
Company have embarked is about one of the most
promising ever yet presented to public attention.
In India we have a vast populous and fertile coun-
try only now fairly thrown open to British enter-
prise, and permeated by great navigable rivers,
which, though shallow at certain seasons and rapid
at other seasons, may be navigated by steam vessels
of appropriate construction, and are at present suc-
cessfully navigated by steam vessels, which, though
deficient in speed and in carrying power, have
already returned large profits to their owners.—

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills and Ointment.--
All the maladies incidental to spring can be prevented,
checked in their course, or ultimately cured by these fine
purifying and cooling medicaments. The pills rouse the
stomach, regulate the liver, stimulate the kidneys, and
act gently on the b iwels. The ointment rubbed over any
part penetrates to neighbouring organs, which it frees
from all noxious and irritating humours ; and aided by the
pills, expels them. By these remedies the skin is 'cleanSed
of all freckles, spots, and disfigurements, without driving
them inwards or doing harm. It is wonderful hew weak-
ness, low spirits, and enervation give way to vigour and
vivacity under a course of Holloway's medicines, which
May be safely used at all times by both sexes.

tion, or dialogue, it has seldom been our lot to witness any
piece where a first night's comparative success was so
entirely owing to the admirable acting of the performers on
whom the burden of the representation rested. Miss Amy
Sedgwick never looked or acted more charmingly, though
the part assigned to her was scarcely worthy of her great
mid varied powers. The character of Lady Frances Vane,
a scheming fashionable woman of the world„was very well •
filled by Mrs. Buckingham White; and a modernised ver-
sion of Jerry Sneak and his wife found capital representa-
tives in Mr. Chippendale and Mrs. Wilkins. Lord Avon-
more, the hero of the piece, was acted by Mr. W. Farren in
a quiet, gentlemanly manner that deserved all praise; and
an Irish major was well "made up" and acted by Mr.
Howe. We only regret we cannot praise the play as we
have the players.

Lord REDESDALE said he had given notice of the
second reading of the bill relating to horse racing for

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY NIGHT.

The Montreal Ocean Mail Steamship Company's
screw steamer North American, Captain Aiton,
from Portland on the 28th of April, arri-:ed in the
Mersey this evening. She called on Wednesday
at Queenstown, to land mails, and a summary of
her news was telegraphed thence.
The Charleston Convention progresses very slowly
in its work. The committee*on resolutions of the
Convention succeeded on the 26th in agreeing upon a
platform. It is composed of the Cincinnati platform,
with the addition of several resolutions regarding the
protection of slavery in the territories, embodying
the sentiments expressed by the democratic leaders
in congress during the present session, together with
a recommendation in favour of the acquisition of
Cuba. It was represented that the prospects of
Douglas for the Presidential nomination was far
better than those of any other candidate.
Accounts from Mexico state that Miramon arrived
at the capital on the 17th, and was received by the
firing of cannon and ringing of bells. There was no
question but that his Goyernment was suffering for
the want of money, forced loans being levied in
every direction for the immediate necessities of the
army. The British and French Ministers are busy
with plans of a compromise, and seeking to draw Mr.
Lane into the Government at Vera Cruz.

IILE 121, SURRECTION IN SICILY.

Mr. Grant Duff has given notice that this even-
ing he will ask the Solicitor-General whether his
attention has been drawn to an advertisement which
appeared on Wednesday, announcing that a sub-
scription had been opened in London in aid of the
Sicilians, and whether persons in this country who
contributed to the fund which it was proposed to
raise would render themselves liable to any legal
proceedings ? P.:.rhaps, while the subject is before
the house, some one will ask the same learned
gentleman whether his attention has been drawn to
the fact that subscriptions have been openly col-
lected in this country to pay the foreign rabble
with which Gen. Lamoriciere is to re-conquer the
Romagna for the Pope ; but we trust the question
will stop there, and that no one will ask whether
the persons who have collected them have ren-
dered themselves liable to legal proceedingsin so
doing.
It is rather late in the day to call in question the
conduct of Englishmen who give a little money or
even themselves to a nation struggling for freedom.
No one now regrets the little we did to aid the
Greeks in winning their independence,though, look-
ing at the present subscription for the Pope, one is
struck by the fact that there should have been in
those days no proposal to make collintions fur the
long suffering- and injured Turk. If any persons
are inclined to aid the Sicilian subscription we re-
commend them to send the money at once, by
cheque or post-office order, to Messrs. Fabbricott i
Brothels, of 150, Leadenhall-street, E.C.—Daily
Sews.

Major Sibthorp was shut out of the division tit
the Bleaching and Dyeing Bill, or he would have voted
with the ayes.

The following have been among the recent visi-
tors to the Great Globe in Leicester-square :—Marquis of
Bute and party, Mr. Walpole and ladies, Lord Alfred Paget

PAPER DUTY REPEAL BILL.

This bill was brought in and read a first time, on the
motion of Lord REDESDALE.

Lord MONTEAGLE said he took this, the earliest, op-
portunity of giving notice that, on the motion for reading
this bill a second time, he should move that it be read a
second time that day six months. (Hear, hear, from the
Opposition.)
The Earl of WICKLOW said he hoped the Government
would allow pleaty of time to consider the bill before the
second reading. He was adverse to seeing bills that had
been agreed to by the other House of Parliament rejected
by their lordships, yet there were some exceptions to that
rule, and the present measure under discussion was one of
them. If the Government persevered with the bill, he
trusted their lordships would refuse to give it a second read-
ing. (Hear, hear.)

All the maladies incidental to spring can be prevented,
checked in their course, or ultimately cured by these fine
purifying and cooling medicaments. The pills rouse the
stomach, regulate the liver, stimulate the kidneys, and
act gently on the b Jwels. The ointment rubbed over any
part penetrates to neighbouring organs, which it frees
from all noxious and irritating humours ; and aided by the
pills, expels them. By these remedies the skin is cleansed
of all freckles, spots, and disfigurements, without driving
them inwards or doing harm. It is wonderful hew weak-
ness, low spirits, and enervation give way to vigour and
vivacity under a course of Holloway's medicines, which
may be safely used at all times by both sexes.

CHURCH RATES.

Petitions against the abolition of church rates by the
Earl of DUCIE ; and also in favour of their abolition by
Lord LYVEDON.

POOR LAWS.
The Earl of DEVON presented a petition praying for a
revision of the Poor Removal Act.
PROTESTANTS IN TURKEY.
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE presented a
petition respecting the state of the Protestants in some
parts of the dominions of the Sultan, and entered at some
length into the grievances under which they laboured
with respect to spiritual instruction. He eulogised the
conduct of Dr. Cullen, who had, in the midst of pre-
judices on all sides, established a place of worship
for them in that part of the world. Great as was the wish
of the Sultan to maintain that establishment in its integrity,
he did not think it was advisable for this country to leave
the whole of the work to the Sultan, but do all that was
possible to aid him in his praiseworthy endeavours.
