" There has been a fair business doing in imports

higher prices asked by importers in consequence of
the fall in exchange. Jerked beef is daily becoming
more plentiful, and, together with fresh beef, much
cheaper.
" Sugars have advanced on this side, but, owing
to the decline in exchange, sterling prices are lower
than last month. There have been large transac-
tions, especially in Muscovados, the better qualities
of which being in demand for exportation to the

taken for export to native ports and the River.

The receipts of the Lombardo-Venetian Railway
con
e to present an extraordinary increase over 1858.
LasttinNivieek the excess was 67 per cent., and the average
n i crease from the Ist of January to the present date has
been 681 per cent. Experience thus far has tended to con-
firm the impression that the alarm manifested as to the
damage to which railways would be exposed in case of war
was exaggerated. The chief points on which the share-
holders of the Lombardo-Venetian line at present desire
information are with respect to the arrangements that will
be made for the payment of dividends this year, and
whether, since the Austrian currency has experienced
heavy depreciation from the suspension of specie payments,
the tariff for passengers and goods has been raised, or can
be raised, so as to meet that circumstance. On the other
hand, as the company have heavy periodical payments to
make to the Austrian Government, they will derive con-
siderable benefit from being able to discharge them in
Austrian bank-notes.

HER MAJESTY'S YACHT ASHORE.—ANTWERP,
Friday Night.—ln consequence of an accident occurring to
the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, by her running
ashore early this morning in her passage up the Scheldt,
her Royal Highness the Princess Frederick William was
detained many hours, and did not reach here till about
half-past 5 o'clock this evening. After leavin
the Yore,
g Graves-
end the yacht encountered a heavy fog off
which considerably retarded her progr es s. At the mouth.
of the Scheldt she was boarded by a pilot, who was
called
charge of the ship when she went ashore, at a p
Old Kirk. The Hon. Captain Denman adopted every means
to get her off, but she remained fast. Unfortunately the
Admiralty yacht Vivid, which had accompanied the Royal
yacht from Gravesend, had gone on to Antwerp, and there
was no vessel plyinc, here to t
t. Denman went on shores
on board H.R.H. Princess
rederick. In this'dilemma Cap
and got a mounted express to take a message to the nearest
railway station, to be telegraphed to the officer in charge of
the Vivid at Antwerp, ordering his immediate return to the
Royal yacht. The Vivid proceeded as directed, and al,out
half-past five returned to Antwtrp with her Royal Highness
on board. The Princess on landing was most cordially re-
ceived.
