COLONIAL.

TEA. —A good business has been done in sound useful
qualities of Congous at about is 4d to is Gd per lb., but
common Congou ruled dull at 123 d. The market generally
was quiet.
SUGAR.--For home consumption there was a better en-
quiry, and both foreign and colonial realised full rates.
For exportation the transactions were limited. The re-
fined market ruled rather easier, brown lumps 694 6d to
70s per cwt.
COFFEE. —The supplies still continue on a very limited
scale. A fair business, however, has been done by private
contract in both Plantation and Native Ceylon at fully
previous quotations.
RlCE.—Holders of this article demand full rates, but
purchasers are cautious in their dealings, and the business
transacted has been only for immediate consumption.
hmt.—The market is firm, fully previous rates being
current for all qualities.
SPICES.—Mace and nutmegs are steady; but ginger,
pimento, and pepper have been at improved quotations.
COCHINEAL—Previous rates are current, but buyers are
cautious in their transactions. The stocks on hand are
rather increasing.
SALTPETRE. —The market has a firm appearance, and
full rates are current for all qualities.
TALLOW. —A very limited business has been done, and
prices are rather easier. P.Y.C., on the spot, 55s 9d 565,
and last 3 months 54s 9d to 55s per cwt.
GREEN FRUIT.—The fine weather has improved the de-
mand. Oranges and lemons have advanced in price, some
parcels of the former from Lisbon, Naples, and Palermo,
sold by Keeling and Hunt, wont at 2s. per package higher.
Lemons in proportion, the stock of which is short. Nuts
are in request, the back Ward state of home vegetation
leaving little else for consumption.

THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA IN
HUNGARY.

A letter from Pesth of the 10th, in the Constitu-
tionnel, says :—" A striking manifestation on the
part of the principal inhabitants of the cities of
Buda and Pesth took place , esterday evening, in•
tended as a reply to the announcement of the late'
amnesty granted by the Emperor. At about eight
o'clock upwards of four thousand citizens, com-
pletely beyond the reach of official influence, and
perfectly independent from their social position,
went in a body, with torches, to the Imperial
Palace of Buda to offer their homage to their
Majesties. The cortege, marching eight abreast,
all dressed in black dress coats, and white
cravats, was preceded by a body of 120
chorus singers, and gaccompanied at inter-
vals by military bancl4, A considerable crowd
were assembled, and joined their acclamations to
those of the procession. The greatest order pre
vailed without any intervention on the part of the
police. In a few minutes after the arrival of the
head of the body on the open place in front of the
palace, the Emperor and Empress made their ap-
pearance on the balcony. On seeing them, the
chorus singers, accompanied by the three military
bands, struck up tha imperial hymn, the torches were
waved, and the air resounded with the Ellyen,' or
Hungarian vivat. The leading characteristic of this
demonstration was the loyal and sincere sentiment
which inspired the idea. Persons well established,
occupying a good social position, and possess-
ing a certain fortune, were alone admitted to
take part. The cortege thus assembled consisted of
39 municipal councillors, 149 unpaid officials of
communes, 19 physicians, and upwards of 3,000
persons belonging to different liberal professiJns,
manufacturers, tradesman, &c. The fortune pos-
sessed by this body amounted together to more
than 100 millions of francs. As a further proof of
the great change which has taken place in public
opinion, it may be mentioned that in the morning
of the same day the Archduke Albeit, Governor-
General of Hungary, received a deputat'on of the
principal advocates of Pesth, who solicited the fa-
vour of being admitted to pay their respects
to the Emperor. In order to comprehend the

importance of this fact, it must be menlioned UlllO
the lawyers of Pesth have hit!.erto been actuated
by a systematic feeling of opposition, which in the
Diet was carried to the gre.itest possible length.
Their change of manner towards the sovereign is
therefore very significant. The governmental idea
of Francis Joseph is apparent in the text of the
dOcree of amnesty. Faithful to the system of
policy which he has adopted I.ince his accession to
the throne, he will not deviate from the line of
unity which he conside,is as necessary to the moral
grandeur and tho material prosperity of
empire."

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK

. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd is entitled to the
public gratitude for the adm.rahle judgment which
be prenounced yesterday in the affair of the Royal
British Bank. He is about to direct that copies.af
the examinations taken under the bankruptcy shall
be transmit' ed to the Attorney-General with a view
to the institution of criminal proceedings. "I do
not," said the learned Commissioner, "believe that
a scene of greater recklessness, fraud, and crimi-
nality of conduct in the management of a banking
establishment was ever exhibited in a court of jus-
tice than is disclosed by the examinations taken in
this -court ulider, the adjudication of bankruptcy
against the Royal British Bank, and I may observe
that these examinations will be admissible against
the partie', in case of a prosecution." Why, then,
should Sir Richard Bethell hesitate for one single
moment en such a matter ? We are confident that
we [are but giving utterance to the expressed opi-
nions of the ablest eriminal lawyers in the country'
when we say that a prosecution of these great crimi-
nals can be conduc ed to a successful issue. Yester-
day, at the Old Bailey, the Bacons were on their
trial,—that was well enough. The New Court,
however' under the auspices of the Recorder, was
occupied with the trial of a wretched creature who
had stolen six pairs of boots. The Third Court,
presided over by the Common-Sergeant, expended
its powers upon a lad who had, as it was said,
wrongfully given a receipt for 71. is. Bd. It turned
out that he ha l done nothing of the sort. All this
while the Esdai!es, and Stapletons, and Camerons,
and Craufurds, and Browns, and Pellatts, whose
conduct, as the Commissioner tells us, has been
tainted -with such gross "recklessness, fraud, And
criminality," are walking about the streets. One
of them, indeed, occupies a seat in Parliament for
the town of Berwick. Sir Richard Bethell, we re-
peat it, will be himself guilty of a heinous neglect
of duty if he does not take the most instant and
effectual measures to early into effect the recom-
mendations of Mr. Commissioner Holroyd. We
should fail iu giving full expression to public feel-
ing with regard to this matter if we did not add
that Mr. Lieklater has earned the highest appro-
bation by the spirit and intelligence he has dis-
played in the conduct of the recent inquiry.--

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was somewhat extensively supplied
with beasts, upwards of 400 oxen being on offer from
Oporto, and the demand for all breeds ruled heavy in the
extreme, at a decline in the quotations realised on Mon-
day of 4d per Sibs. The top figure for Scots was 4s Gd
per 81bs. The show of sheep was only moderate, yet the
mutton trade was very inactive, at barely stationary
prices. Lambs were i❑ good request, at from 53 64 to
6s 4d per Ribs. About 4eo came to hand from the Isle of
Wight. We had a steady sale for calves, at full quota-
tions ; but pigs ruled heavy. Milch cows were in better
request. _ _

GREECE.

ATHENS' March 4.—On the departure lately of
the French troops from the Pine w, M. Morcier,
the French Minister in Greece, having written to
the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs announcing
ix) him their embarkation, received the following
reply, dated Feb. 28 :

"Monsieur le Ministre—Yon have done me the hon-
our to inform me, under date of yesterday, that in ac-
cordance with an understanding with yiur colleague of
England, who bad, on his part, given similar instruc-
tions, you had just authorised the commander-in-chief
of the French troops to embark, and thus to put an
end to the occupation of Greece. In acknowledging
the reception of your communication, I feel real
pleasure in being able to unite my testimony to those
generally expressed at the excellent conduct of these
troops during their sojourn in Greece, and at the care
which they bale taken never to depart from the rules of
order and discipline. By their irreproachable conduct,
by the examples of order and qt labour which they have
set in the Pireees, and by the embelhuhtnents and public
works which they have there executed, these soldiers
have acquired the esteem and gratitude of the inhabi-
tants of that pace. It is most pleasing to me to be able
to affirm, Monsieur le MiDistre, that the government of
the King unites in the well-merited praises which are
bestowed on the troops who to-Jay quit the soil of
Greece.—Accept, &c., " ItAsaaing."

BERLIN, March 11.—The Zeit of this morning
oontains tho text of tho Note which Baron.von
Manteuffel addressed to the Representatives of
Piussia in London, Paris, Vienna, and St. Peters-
burg on the occasion of the Swiss Government
liberating the Royalist prisoners in tho middle of
last January. As it is not long I venture to give
it you in, extenso

"Berlin, Jan. la, 1857.
" I have the satisfaction to inform you that according
to official information that has reached the King's
Cabinet, the Swiss Federal Assembly, in the course of
yesterday and to-day, voted the unconditional liberation
of the Neuchatel prisoners. The King our august master
sees herein the sole condition fulfilled on whi&a ho had
made his participation in meetings with respect to the
future relations of the Principality of Neuchatel de-
pendent, and he has therefore been pleased to command
me to renew the declaration that his Majesty is prepared
to enter into deliberations of this nature, and also that
he will therein be influenced by the same moderation and
the same conciliatory sentiments from which he is con-
scions of never having deviated throughout the various
phases of this question. Be good enough to make this
despatch known to the Cabinet at which you have the
honour to represent the King our august master.
" Receive the assurance, &c.,
ATANTEUFFEL"
The few words used to introduce this short de-
spatch to the notice of the reader state that its text
will show forth how little truth there is in the va-
rious allegations put forward in the press as to the
King having entered into any definite undertaking
in connection with the liberation of the prisoners.
