COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market has been very quiet, with no altera-
tion in prices. A public sale is advertised for Thursday
next. The amount paid into the Treasury on account of the
113 W duty of is 51 per lb, it is estimated, will exceed 300,000/.
SUGAR.—Purchases to a fair extent have been made for
shipping, and the market generally exhibits a firm appear-
ance: A large quantity is advertised for public sale during
the week. The new duties are now in operation.
COFFEE.—There is a good deli-and fur exportation, and
for . home use business has improved ; no alteration in
latices can be quoted.
RICE.—A very limited amount of business has been
done, but prices generally exhibit c3nsiderable firmness.
RUM.—A good inquiry for all qualities, at imp.eoved
rates. Demerara, 3s id to 3s 3d ; Leewards, 2s 9d to 2e
10L1 ; and East India, 2s Sd per proof gallon.
TALLOW.—Am astive business has been transacted, and
prices rule firm. P.Y.C., for immediate delivery, 55s to
55s 6d ; all the month, 53s ; and later periods, 51s 9d to
52s per cwt.

The payment of the dividends on the stocks lately
shut will commenoe to-morrow, the Bth.
The demand in the discount market is still active, and
at the Bank the applications are believed to be numer-
ous, and of a character to indicate that there is no gene-
ral expectation of an early return to an easier condition.
Tux WALWORTII MIIRDERE.—The trial of Bacon and
his wife has been postponed until the next sessions of
the Central Criminal Court.
THE RUINS OF COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Yester-
day Messrs. Eversfield and Horne, auctioneers, com-
menced the disposal, by public auction, of the ruins iA
the Theatre Royal, Covent-garden, when a latge quan-
tity of loose bricks, charred timber, and sundry old pro-
perties lying on the ground were sold for immediate re-
move], and as soon au the ground is cleared of these, the
remainder of the ruins, comprising several millions of
bricks, the Portland stone, forming the lower portion of
the external walls, the Portland stone portico, and other
building materials, will be disposed of in the same
manner, in order to clear the ground for building the
new theatre.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Friday morning, shortly
before nine o'clock, a shocking accident occurred at the
mill of Messrs. George Brown and Co., manufacturers,
Thornton-road, Bradford, by which Thomas Schelefield,
an overlooker, aged 22, lost his life. A belt, turning
one of the horizontal shafts over head, in the third storey
of the mill, had been off the drum, and Scholefield was
in the act of putting it on, when by some means be vas
whirled up and round the shaft, bis back bent, broker,
twisted, and his head jammed up!against the drum. The
engine was stopped in a minuie, hut, when taken down,
the unfortunate man was quite dead. The head and
lower extremities had not been 3. nuch.injured, but the
right arm was completely torn off.. The deceased had
been only married a few weeks. 2:be remains were re-
' moved to the Oddfellows' Hotel, to iwait the coroner's
inquest.—Leeds Inolligencer. •

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.
The Emperor, accompanied by General Fleury,
visited on Saturday the works of the Louvre.
On Saturday the Emperor received a letter %'y
which Seid. Medjid announces to his Majesty'that
he had been recognised as Sultan of Zanzibar after
the death of his father, Said Said, Imutn of Muscat.
On the same day Prince Galitzin, envoy extraor-
dinary and minister plenipotentiary of the Emperor
of Russia, and the Princess Galitzin were presented
to their lajesties by the Russian ambassador.
it is very generally believed that M. de Monty.
will return soon to Paris. He is now only waiting
for the treaty of commerce between France and
England to be signed ' • and,' as we are told that all
the articles are agreed on, it is supposed that the
signatures will be affixed in the course of the next
month. M. de Morny, it appears, has lost much
of his influence at St. Petersburg.
The unexpected elevation of the rate of discount
by the Directors of the Bank of England has
created an unfavourable impression on the trade of
Paris, which was beginning to recover from the
effects of the long dead season through which it
had to pass.

THE KIDDERMIN,3ITER RIOTS.

Yesterday the Kidderminster rioters were again
brought up for examination before the magistrates. Tlie
military still remain in town, and much excitement con-
tinues to be evinced by the inhabitants. The police-
court waa again crowded by a motley group.
John Hayes and John Cook, remanded from Friday
on a charge of assaulting the police after the Riot Act
had been (read, withdrew their previous plea of not guilty
by the advice of their solicitor, and pleaded guilty to
the charge. After an admonition from the Bench, they
were sentenced to a fine of 30s. each, which was at
once paid.
The eases of the other persons who had been remanded
from Friday were adjourned till Saturday next.
Charges of riot were preferred against m-F. George
Griffith's' corn-dealer, and a member of the Kiddermin-
ster town council ; Mr. Edwin Keysell, butcher ; and
George Gough. But they were also remanded' till
Saturday, as there had not been sufficient time to pro-
cure witnesses for the accused.
A large number of warrants have been issued, and it is
expected that by Saturday a number of persons will
have been apprehended. Mr. Kettle wall then appear
the prosecution, and the charges of riot will be in-
vestigated.
Mr. Lowe has recovered from the effects of
the brutal treatment be received, and left Kiddermin-

The SEASON wit' COMMENCE on FRIDAY, the Ist of
May, with a Grand Morning Concert by the artistes of the

gaged for the whole. series.
The musical direction of the whole is in the hands of Mr.
Costa, who will himself conduct a portion of the Concerts.
With the aboie 'assemblage of artistes, it is hardly neces-
sary for the Directors to state that the performances will be of
the highest class, aud.capable of very great variety.
The Concerts will take plat se on the following Fridays. viz :
—May 1,8, 15, 22, and 29 ; June 5 and 26 ; July 3, 10, 17,
34, and 31.
The space allotted to the Concert Room last year (extensive
as it was) having been found inadequate to accommodate the
audiences, the Directors have this season determined to give
the Concerts in the Great Transept,
The Two Guinea Season Tickets will also be available for
these Concerts. Transferable tickets will also be issued for
each Concert at 7s. 6d, each ; which tickets can be obtained
at the Company's offices, or of any of the agents.
In compliance with a desire which was universally expressed
last season, a limited number of reserved stalls will be set
apart; which may be taken for the series of 12 concerts at one
guinea each stall, or at half-a-crown each for a single concert.
11. CONCERT OF THE COLOGNE CHORAL UNION.
The Directors have made arrangements with the Cologne
Choral Union (Coiner Manner Gesang Verein), whose perfor-

tion, for a Concert in the Centre Transept of the Palace, on
Saturday, the 6th of June.
N.B.—Both Classes of Season Tickets will be available for
this Concert.

THE _RIVET HON., W. B. GLADSTONA

Mr. Charles Butler having sent to Mr. Gle;
stone a speech of Mr. James Hall, and asking fo
an explanation as to the charge made against nu'
therein, Mr. Gladstone replies :
" 11, Carlton House-terrace, April 16. a
" Sir,—l thank you for taking the pains to se°,
me an extract from the Globe newspaper, Duper.
ing to be the speech of Mr. James Hall, of
well, at a public meeting recently held in that tow*
which you think should be noticed on my behalf,,
" On the occasion of that meeting, the procee,,
ings of which were not, I believe, taken down I".
reportens, I made a speech relating to the electi'7
for Flintshire. A gentleman, who was descrilr,,
to- me as Mr. James Hall, made a speech relatn!!
to me, and when he had concluded I replied ?!.
him. This, you will agree, was the proper note
of his speech to regeive from me.
" I presume from the paper you have sent 101
that he has subsequently furnished his own accouti
. of that speech, and what he considers to have bee'., ;
its reception. In that I have neither leisure nor
inclination to follow him. The question whetliA
his invective is merited rebuke or unequivoo°;
slander, is happily one of f,,ct—namely, whether
it is true, as he says, that at the period of Mr. R°
buck's motion Lord Palmerton consented to ,
and I, with others, took pretended offence to 19
consenting, and resigned, or whether the truth igf:
that Lord Palmerston likewise resigned office ~.";
Jan., 1855, rather than agree to Mr. Roebuck'
motion ; that Lord Palmerston informed me, befo` ,
I joined his Government in February, that he
tended to continue his resistance, and tbat
his changing his mind, together with the great ulf,
jority of his colleagues, whilst I simply adhered
mine, I was deprived of office as a necessary conor
quence.
" The account of the matter, which I have brie
$y
stands wholly upon public record, and
undisputed st dements made at the tune in tha
House of Commons.
" The spirit (as towards myself) in which I°,ll,
wrote has induced me to trouble you with tbe',
,„
remarks, of which you are welcome to make all'
use you please.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Our metropolis Ins been so long without a
" French play" that the announcement of the re-
opening of the St. James's Theatre for the purpose
to which a few years ago it seemed especially de-
voted will probably create no ordinary interest.
Mr. Mitchell has engaged the whole company of
the " Bouffes Parisiens," who starting into corpo-
rate existence in the summer of 1855, attracted all
the fashion of Paris to their snug little box in the
Champs Etysees, and when the weather became too
cold for that delightful locality, took up their abode
in the theatre in the Passage Choiseul, so long as-
sociated with the name of M. Comte. Their di-
rector, M. Offenbach, who likewise composes
nearly all their music, will accompany them, bring-
ing with him the whole of the orchestra. The en-
gagement of the " Bouffes" will last six weeks,
commencing on the 20th of May.

THE FAMINE IN FINLAND.

STOCKHOLM, APRIL 15.

The latest accounts from Finland continue to give
a most distre,sing picture of the famine raging in
that unhappy country, which does not fail to excite
the greatest sympathy here and in every other part
of Sweden, as subscriptions are liberally entered
into, and balls, concerts, and theatrical representa-
tions, given for the charitable purpose of raising
funds for the relief of our distressed brethren on the
other side of the Gulf. Several vessels have been
chartered by the committee, and laden with corn,
but they cannot move till the ice breaks up. In the
districts of Ulleaborg, Wasa, and Kurpio alone,
out of a population of 657,000 souls, no less than
250,000 have no other means of subsistence than
begging, or else eating the unpalatable bread made
from the bark of trees. The mortality is conse-
quently very great, and daily on the increase, as the
dreadful famine typhus has broken out with great
malignity. The distress is so great that children
have been seen who, for want of other food, have
actually eaten off their own fingers l Liberal con-
tributions have been sent from Hamburg and Lu-
beck ' • but in Denmark, where they make such a
fuss about fraternity, and dream of the Scandina-
vian union, they have done nothing to allay the
misfortune. Upwards of 80,000 dollars have hitherto
been remitted from Sweden, and as soon as the
ice disappears, the above-mentioned vessels with
corn and flour will be despatched to their relief.
London, England, 1857-04-22

PORTUGAL.

The Braganza steamer has arrived at Liverpool
with Lisbon dates of the 16th inst.

The minister of Public Works had laid Sir More-
ton Peto's railway contract before the Cortes, with
bills to legalise the same; and also to authorise the
Government to settle the differences between the
contractor and the present Santarem Railway Com-
pany, in order that the line, so far as constructed,
may be included in the projected company.
The Minister's statement was very well received
by the Chambers, and the different bills were re-
ferred for the reports of the Committees of Finance
and Public Work 4, with a recommendation of
urgency.

It is said that a grand review of 50,000 men is to
take place in the Champ-de-Mars during the visit
of the Grand Duke Constantine at Paris. The 6th
of May, it is thought, will be, the day fixed on for
this fine military spectacle.
The Grand Duke Constantine on arriving at
Toulon was saluted by 21 guns from each of the
French vessels as he passed them, after which the
whole squadron fired a general salute, and the
crews manned the yards and cheered. A great
number of steamers filled with strangers followed
the Russian and French squadrons on their arrival
in the roadstead. The Prince immediately on his
landing spontaneously offered to review the troops,
which were drawn up in line to receive him. At
9 o'clock this morning the Grand Duke visited the
Arsenal. The crowd assembled was immense. The
warmest reception was also given to General
Todleben.

Lord Elgin, proceeding with full powers to China."

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived.
The Hoja Autografa, which is a semi-official organ,
denies that, as asserted by the Epoca, the differences
between Spain and Mexico are in a fair way of
being arranged. "No doubt," it says, 6, the
Spanish government is disposed to enter into dip-
lomatic relations, and will accept all the satisfac-
tory explanations that may be given to it ; but
that does not signify that the question is already
solved—especially as it knows, notwithstanding
all that has been said, that the Mexican govern-
ment has not chastised the assassins of the Spanish
subjects." The Epoca says that the authorities,
having learned that seven Carlist agents were hold-
ing a meeting on the previous night near one of the
cemeteries, had them arrested, and that papers rela-
tive to the recent conspiracy were found on them.
According to some of the journals, this conspiracy
was exclusively Carlist ; but, according to others,
it was partly ofa democratic charac'er. The Gazette
r asserts that it is not true, as stated by some of the
papers, that M. Mon, the new minister to Rome,
had been coldly received by the Pope. "On the
contrary," it says, " his reception was such as his
functions demanded, and the reply given to his
speech in delivering his credentials wassatilfactory.
The 'cardinals afterwards visited him, and it may
be said that at this moment the questions 'pending
with Rome present the most favourable aspect.
Mgr. Simeon, who has, been appointed charge
d'affaires in Madrid, en attendant the return to
Europe of Mgr. Barelli, who bas been named
nuncio, is shortly expected here." The detachments
of artillery about to be sent to Cuba had been well-
drilled in the use of the Minie rifle, and even the
officers had learned it.

SURREY SESSIONS.-April 21.

James Diamond, 23, James Hannagan, 22, and
John Jordan, 19, private soldiers in the 2d batta-
lion of Rifle Brigade, stationed atAldershot Camp,
were indicted for assaulting Joseph Ottaway,
Farnham, and robbing him of half a sovereign and
sixteen shillings and sixpence.
The prosecutor, an elderly man, whose head was
bandaged up, stated chat be was a brickmaker, and
worked for Mr. John Andrews, of Farnham, who
had a brickyard on the highway leading from Wey-
borne to where he lived. On Friday evening, the
3d inst., witne9s left Farnham in company with
Larby,Win. Charles Larby and his wife, to go
home. It was then about two o'clock. They got as
far as his master's brickyard, where there was a
heap of straw. Witness safe several soldiers about
the straw, when he said, "My lads, don't tear the
straw about any more than you can help, because
I have to use it." Immediately after that the pri-
soner Hannagan came up to him and said, "I am
a man, you -," at the same time he up with his
fist and knocked witness down. He fell on the top
of Diamond, who was,lying in a ditch. Hannagan
then jumped over him into the hop-ground, and he
came back with a hop-poll. Witness had then got
up, and was standing near the road. Hannagan
again came up, to him as he was looking out for his
friends, and knocked him down, when he struck
him on the head with the hop-pole. While lying
on the ground, nearly stunned, he caught Dia-
mond's hand in his trousers pocket, where he had
a purse containing a half-sovereign and 16s. 6d.
As soon as he recovered he got up and washed the
blood off his head in the ditch, and on putting his
hand into his pocket he missed. his purse and con-
tents. He called out for assistance, when Hanna-
gan again came up to him and knocked him down
with the hop-pole, He also struck him on the
head until he was stunned, being assisted by Jor-
don. The next thing he recollected was Charles
Larby conveying him home. On the next morn-
ing, at 7 o'clock, while he was going to his work,
he saw all the prisoners in the lae leading to
Aldershot Camp, and he beard them say to some
labourers that they had knocked an old man down
on the previous night, and served him out. Wit-
ness then went up to them, and at Once accused
them of the assault and robbery, when they all ran
away. _ _

Tile prisoners having been identified,
The Deputy-Chairman summed up the evidence,
when the jury at once found them all guilty.
The Court sentenced each of them to four years'
penal servitude.

quickly, as she had to be marched from. one office
to another, to sign and receive papers and permis-
sions, and then to take them to other offices to got
them copied. The adventures'of this box are suffi-
cient to deter the boldest traveller from taking
much luggage to Russia. The greatest part; of tl.e
second volume is occupied with a narrative of the
wonders of the coronation ceremonial. This im-
portant event is regarded with awe and veneration
by the people, partly on account of its being a re-
ligious ceremonial. If they were spoken to of the
fetes and rejoicings they were lively and excited,
but as soon as the coronation itself was-mentioned
they became serious. Amidst all the bustle and
noise of the workmen and the entry of the troops
there was quite a different Pe!ing from that which
' a similar event would produce in other place,.
The crowds which thronged to if, however, were
much the same as they would be any where else,
for we are told that Moscow seemed scarcely capable
of containing them, and the floors and isissages of
the houses were strewed at night with 'sleeping
figures, who were quite coetmted with a bundle of
clothes for a pillow. The expenses incurred at this
time appear to have been very great. "Many a
serf," says the authoress," will ue mortgaged for
the expenses of the Czat's coronation, and many a
ruiner noble can perhaps date the sum total of
bankrUptcy account to the month that placed that
diamond crown on the head of A'exander IT." It
will be a matter of regret to all readers of these
pleasant volumes to learn that their authoress was
taken dangerously ill immediately after her return
to St. Petersburg, and continued *so for some
weeks. She had over-exerted herself in her excur-
sion to Moscow, and tl)e consequences were very
serious. Fortunately, .he was attended by a skil-
ful Scotch physician. .There is not a great deal of
solid infurmaticn in these volumes, nor perhaps
very much that is new or original. They are.more
intended to give an idea of the life of the people,
and to relieve English readers of 'the false .ideas
they entertain on many points. Those who are de.
sirous of making a visit to the Russian capital,
without the annoyance of,steam-boats and custom-
houses, cannot possibly find a more agreeable and
intelligent companion than this entertaining writer.
