TEA.—The market continues quiet, as a rather large
quantity is announced for public sale on Thursday next.
SUGAR.—There has been a fair demand for good and fine
descriptions of West India, at full prices, and in the refined
market late rates have been well maintained for all descrip-
tions of goods.
COFFEE.—Goed and fine qualities of Plantation Ceylon
have been in active request, at full quotations, but the
dealings have not been extensive ; other descriptions have
exhibited little variation.
RlCE.—Only a moderate amount of business has been
recorded, and prices generally have shown no material
variation.

TALLOW.—The market has been more active, and some
rather large speculative transactions have taken place for
forward delivery at enhanced rates. P.Y.C. on the spot is
quoted 48s 6d, and spring delivery 49s 3d to 49s 6d per cwt.

NAPLES, MARCH 13,

General Fergola, before receiving the order of
Francis IL to surrender the citadel of Messina,
opened fire against the works of the Sardinians,
but at the same time wrote to General Cialdini to
the effect that he would spare the city of Messina.
General Cialdini replied, complimenting him for
having come to this determination, and saying that
he desired to carry on war without passion and to
terminate it without rancour.

Civitella del Tronto still holds out ; but, being
closely invested, must soon surrender.
The assertions of the Marquis of Normanby in
the House of Lords that the Sardinians had been
guilty of cruelties are totally unfounded. In the
Abruzzi the Sardinians only shot some persons who
had previously been convicted of felony, and who
had been arrested with arms in their hands.

POLAND.

WARSAW, FRIDAY.

The deputation of the citizens of Warsaw to
which Prince Gortschakoff communicated the re-
script of the Emperor was astounded at the tone of
the document.

Prince Gottschakoff privately stated that an Im-
perial manifesto may be shortly expected, granting
reforms.

M. Zamoyski, President of the Deputation, said,
" We accept, but we are far from being satisfied."
The Imperial rescript has not caused any abate-
ment of the prevailing excitement.
Eleven political prisoners have been set at liberty.

The Silesian Gazette publishes the following as
the telegraphic messages exchanged between the
Emperor and Prince Gortschakoff on the 27th of
February :
" Warsaw—lnsurrection."

" St. Petersburg—Suppress it."

" Warsaw—lt has been done."

" St. Petersburg—How many killed ?"

" Warsaw—Six of the people, and six wounded."
"St. Petersburg—And of ours?"

" Warsaw—No killed or wpunded."
" St. Petersburg—What arms taken ?"

" Warsaw—None."

" St. Petersburg—The whole affair is incompre
hensib le to me."

ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.

An extraordinary demand for this incriminated
volume set in yesterday morning, consequent upon
the publication of the report of the deputation to
Lambeth Palace on Wednesday, and the reply of
the Archbishop. Up to the present time 14,000
copies of the work have been sold. The new edition
is composed of 5,000 copies. A very copious polemi-
cal literature, consisting chiefly of replies, more or
less formal, to the arguments and allegations con-
tained in "Essays and Reviews," has sprung up
within the last week or two. Some of these are
very slight productions, and could only have been
produced on the supposition that anything on the
subject will be read; some are reissues of works that
have already done good service, and a few are dis-
tinguished by erudition and logical power, Some
of the most learned and able replies to "Essays and
Reviews" ere directed to special points raised in that
volume. Among these may be mentioned the Rev.
J. G. Cazenove's article on " Certain Characteristics
of Holy Scripture," written with special reference.
to Professor Jowett's essay. The Rev. Henry Craik,
of Bristol, has replied to the Hebrew criticisms in
Dr. Rowland Williams's essay. Dr. Heurtley,
Margaret Professor, publishes sermons on the " In-
spiration of the Scriptures," and on the "Atone-
ment." The comprehensive article in the British
Quarterly Review is republished in a separate form.
The elder and classical works, as they may be
called, on both sides the question, are again called
for—e.g., " Coleridge's CAlfessions of an inquiring
Spirit," in which the main question which underlies
the present controversy is treated so thoroughly, on
the one hand, and Dean Trench's "Notes on the
Miracles," on the other. The latter work has
reached a sixth edition. Sermons in which the
authority of the Canon, the inspirations of the
Scriptures, the limits of human reason, and cognate
subjects, are created, come upon us like a flying
cloud. The controversy pervades every species
of literature, and does not disdain its hum-
blest forms. The last number of the cheap
popular periodical called " Good Words," to
which some of the most eminent divines of
the' established and nonconformist churches are
contributors, contains a paper by Archbishop
Whately, a part of which is a direct reply to the
late Professor Baden Powell's argument on Mira-
cles. No cheap edition of " Essays and Reviews "
has as yet been announced, nor is it likely to be
while the book sells so rapidly at its present high
price, but the clerical journals are supplying the
deficiency by reprinting. what are deemed the most
mischievous parts of the work, with a very slight
drapery in the form of protests, addresses, letters,
and so on. It is impossible to doubt that these have
been the most effective stimulants to the enormous
sale of the volume. Dr. Self's pamphlet, entitled,
1" Evidence of Unsoundness in the Volume entitled

Essay and Reviews,' being his Speech delivered in
the Jerusalem Chambers on the 26th ult., with long
and numerous quotations," is a summary exhibition
of the argument of the Essayists which will be read
far and wide.

which I had been unable to trace, I was told by Holcroft
they were in the hands of a friend of his who had kindly
assisted him, and who held a public appointment and did
not wish his name to appear in any way in connexion
with the affair. I produce a preliminary statement of
his affairs which was prepared by me. It contains the
liabilities on one side and the assets on the other. I have
entered in it against certain bills mentioned their " holders
not known." Those are the bills he had not given‘me names
for. I saw the creditors and obtained their consent to a
composition, and I afterwards went with Mr. Crowther and
paid it.

- Mr. Frederick Edward Crowther, clerk to Messrs. Law
ranee and Plews, Old Jewry Chambers, solicitors—l know
defendant Holcroft. I acted for him as solicitor in bank-
ruptcy. I never saw Burden, with respect to Holcroft's
affairs. I never saw him till I came into court. On the
20th of October last I received £720 from Mr. David Allan
Ramsay, and I disposed of that money by settling with the
creditors. The notes produced I have no doubt are three
of the notes paid to me by Mr. Ramsay. There are endorsed
in my handwriting on the 23d. I paid to the clerk of Mr.
Cannan, the official assignee, upwards of £2C—the sum was
£6B, to the estate of Smith and Patient, who were bank-
rupts. It was to Mr. Hayward that I paid that money.
That was on the 26th of October. There was a cheque for
£l3O in the £720 which I received from Mr. Ramsay.
Mr. Charles Hayward—l am clerk to Mr. Cannan, o
Basinghall-street, official assignees. On the 26th of October
I received from Mr. Crowther a sum of money as composi-
tion for a debt due to the estate of Smith and Patient, who
Were bankrupts. Among that money was a £5O note, No.
59,954, dated the 20th June, 1860. I paid it the same day
into Robarts's bank.

Mr. Humphreys said that was all the evidence he should
offer on the present occasion, and he must now ask for a
furth-ei remand.

The application not being opposed, the prisoners were
again remanded.

Mr. Humphreys requested that it might be stated, in
fairness to Mr. Gardner, who was one of the witnesses at
the last examination, that though he had failed in conse-
quence of the failure of Holcroft, who was his agent, h•
had paid 15s in the pound, whereas he had only received
4s. in the pound on Holcroft's debt to him.

Mr. Sorrell said the expense would be greater by further
delay.

Summonses were thereupon granted.

I 'HE PRESEN DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the erim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grosstaith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

INFANTICIDE.--Yesterday Mr. G. S. Brent,
deputy coroner for West Widdlesex, held an investigation
at the Waterman's Arms, Brentford, into the singular cir-
cumstances attending the discovery of a child's body
perfectly naked, taken out of the Thames, in a fisherman's
net. It appeared from the evidence adduced that on the
9th inst., a fisherman, named Pearce, was occupied fishing
for smelts off Strand -on-the-Green, in company with a
brother, when suddenly feeling something heavy in the
net they quickly drew it, under the impression of having a
fine haul of fish ; but, much to their consternation they
found that in place of fish they had caught the naked body
of an infant. The fishermen promptly abandoned their
nets find took the body to the Brentford police-station.
The medical evidence was to the effect that the infant had
received a violent blow on the left side of the head, which
appeared to have been inflicted immediately after its birth,
and in all probability was the cause of death. The jury
returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person
or persoas ilanoWn,"

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DOUBTFUL CHARGE.—Kate Mears, a young woman,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a silver
watch and breast-pin of the value of £7 10s. from the
person of Samuel Jackson, a servant, at 26, Hill-street,
Berkeley-square.

The prosecutor said he was walking up Park-lane about
half past eleven the previous night when the prisoner
asked him for a penny. He told her he was in a hurry to
get home, and could not stop to speak to her, but gave her
a penny, and then walked on. The prisoner, however,
continued to follow him to the top of Hay's-mews, where
he spoke to her for about three minutes, and then missed
his property, and told her that if she did not give him his
watch he should give her into custody, and he did so.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, prosecutor said that no one else
came near them ; that the watch was not found on her;
and that he was on his way home from 49, Belgrave-square,
where ho had been to see a friend, and that on being there
his watch was safe.

Prisoner said the prosecutor first spoke to her, that he
asked her to go down the mews, but that she never saw his
watch.

Cooper, 75 C, said that on being given in charge, 30
yards from the mews, prisoner denied having the watch,
and it was not found. The prisoner gave a false address.
A female in court said that was not true, the prisoner
lodged with her at the address she gave.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not see what case there was
against the prisoner. She appeared to have very little
opportunity to take the watch. He thought prosecutor
must have lost his watch before getting to Park-lane.
The prisoner was then discharged.

ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.

An extraordinary demand for this incriminated
volume set in yesterday morning, consequent upon
the publication of the report of the deputation to
Lambeth Palace on Wednesday, and the reply of
the Archbishop. Up to the present time 14,000
copies of the work have been sold. The new edition
is composed of 5,000 copies. A very copious polemi-
cal literature, consisting chiefly of replies, more or
less formal, to the arguments and allegations con-
tained in " Essays and Reviews," has sprung up
within the last week or two. Some of these are
very slight productions, and could only have been
produced on the supposition that anything on the
subject will be read; some are reissues of works that
have already done good service, and a few are dis-
power. Some

of Holy Scripture," written with special reference
to Professor Jowett's essay. The Rev. Henry Craik,
of Bristol, has replied to the Hebrew criticisms in
Dr. Rowland Williams's essay. Dr. Heurtley,
Margaret Professor, publishes sermons on the "
In-
spiration of the Scriptures," and on the "Atone-
ment." The comprehensive article in the British
Quarterly Benno is republished in a separate form.
The elder and classical works, as they may be
called, on both sides the question, are again called
for—e.g., " Coleridge's Confessions of an Inquiring
Spirit," in which the main question which underlies
the present controversy is treated so thoroughly, on
the one hand, and Dean Trench's " Notes on the
Miracles," on the other. The latter work has
reached a sixth ediiion. Sermons in which the
authority of the Canon, the inspirations of the
Scriptures, the limits of human reason, and cognate
subjects, are created, come upon us like a flying
cloud. The controversy pervades every species
of literature, and does not disdain its hum-
blest forms. The last number of the cheap
popular periodical called " Good Words," to
which some of the most eminent divines of
the established and nonconformist churches are
contributors, contains a paper by Archbishop
Whately, a part of which is a direct reply to the
late Professor Baden Powell's argument on Mira-
cles. No cheap edition of "Essays and Reviews"
has as yet been announced, nor is it likely to be
while the book sells so rapidly at its present high
price, but the clerical journals are supplying the
deficiency by reprinting what are deemed the most
mischievous parts of the work, with a very slight
drapery in the form of protests, addresses, letters,
and so on. It is impossible to doubt that these have
been the most effective stimulants to the enormous
sale of the volume. Dr. Jelf's pamphlet, entitled,
" Evidence of Unsoundness in the Volume entitled
Essay and Reviews,' being his Speech delivered in
the Jerusalem Chambers on the 26th ult., with long
and numerous quotations," is a summary exhibition
of the argument of the Essayists which will be read
far and wide.
