COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market has been inactive but firm, the late
news from China having strengthened the market. Holders
of Congou demand is 2d per pound, and are very likely to
obtain it before long.
SUGAR.—The demand still continues good for all de-
scriptions. The supplies being limited, prices have again
slightly advanced. A large business has been done in good
grocery descriptions, chiefly for home consumption. In
the refined market business is also active, and there are
ready buyers of brown lumps at 62s 6d, and low to fine
grocery at 63s to 64s per cwt.
COFFEE.—A good demand still exists for all qualities,
and the supplies being extremely small, prices are in all
instances fully maintained. Good to fine Plantation Cey-
lon realises 708 to 803, and clean Native 56s to 58s per cwt.
BNB —The demand has been less active, and quotations
generally have been in favour of buyers.
Rust.—Market flat, but prices rule firm.
SPICES.—At the public sales most descriptions of spices
ruled rather easier, but cinnamon was firm.
SALTPETRE. —The market has been exceedingly dull, and
former rates are barely maintained.
COCHINEAL.—This article has been very inactive, and a
decline of ld per lb may be quoted on the inferior descrip-
tions.
Tentow.—There has been more firmness displayed by
holders, and a good business has been done at rather higher
rates. P.Y.C., on the spot, 62s 3d to 628 6d per cwt.
GREEN FRUIT.—The market is firm and prices are well
supported. Some parcels of oranges from St. Michael,
sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, went at an ad-
vance of 2s to 38 per package. Barcelona nuts have im-
proved 2s per bag. Seville sours are in demand, crop
limited. Lemons are without alteration, stock short.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS

(Meeting this Day.)

VOTE OF CENSURE ON SIR B. lIALL.

The usual weekly meeting of the board was held this
afternoon at the Council-chamber, Guildhall ; Mr.
Thwaites in the chair.

The agenda paper contained a long list of reports to
be brought up and considered, of various applications to
be made, and a number of rrotiorr's to be brought for
ward by hon. members. Amongst the latter was the
following motion made by Mr. Crellin :
" That the Metropolis Local Management Act having
restricted the power of the Commissioners of Works to the
approval or non-approval of any plan submitted to them
by this board for preventing all or any part of the sewage
of the metropolis from flowing or passing into the river
Thames in or near the metropolis,' the course pursued by
the First Commissioner of Works in directing Captain
Galton and Messrs. Simpson and Blackwell, to whom
he has referred the plan B*, presented to him by this
board, not to confine their attention to that
plan, but to examine other plans, and also to devise, if
they are able, another scheme which may in their opinion
be batter calculated to carry out the object in view, and
to set forth such scheme in their report to him, in order
that lie may lay it before this board for its consideration,
is to be condemned as an assumption of authority not given
to him by the Metropolis Local Management Act, as an
indignity offered to this board and as being calculated to
bring the principle of local self-government into con-
tempt."

The Board was unable to entertain the motion to-day
iz consequeuc of the business preceding it occupying
their time till 6 o'clock, when the Board adjourned.
The motion consequently stands over till next week.

MONTENEGRO.

A letter from Vienna of the 23d inst., in the
Bourse Gazette of Berlin, contains the following
on the situation of the Porte with regard to
Montenegro : " Certain journals have erro-
neously announced that war would break our.
next spring between Turkey and Montenegro.
It is well known that an expedition was last year
projected against the latter country, but that the
affair was amicably arranged, and that Baron do
Mamula, who bad come to Vienna for that pur-
pose, left that capital after the Porte had addressed
to the great power, and particularly to the Aus-
trian Cabinet, explanations which made known to
them the reasons of the quarrel, and tranquillised
them with respect to the future. According to
these declarations, the Porte still considers Monte-
negro as a territory subject to its sovereignty, but
will not make any change in existing relations as
long as the Montenegrins remain tranquil. The
Cabinets fully approved of this explanation, and
the state of affairs has not since changed."

IN RE BAINBRIDGE AND DELL.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of these
bankrupts, described as of Southwark-bridge.road, boot
manufacturers. It may be remembered that the bank-
rupt Bainbridge absconded to America, but ultimately
returned, and was allowed to surrender, but the accounts
were very unsatisfactory.

Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, now ap-
peared for Bainbridge, mid Mr. Warrand for Dell.

Mr. Turner, for the assignees, opposed on the ground
that the accounts were still unsatisfactory, as there was
still a large sum of money unaccounted for, and a fur-
ther adjournment took place.

AUSTRIA.

The following is the letter of the Emperor Francis
Joseph to Marshal Radetzky, announcing a general
amnesty to all political prisoners in the born bardo-
Venetian provinces. It is dated Milan, January
the 25th :

" Dear Field Marshal Count Radetzky—l decide by
way of favour (trovo in via di grazier) to release all per-
sons belonging to the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom
now imprisoned for the crimes of high treason, disturb
ante of public tranquillity, revolt and insurrection, horn
the entire punishment to which they have been sentenced,
anti to command that they shall be immediately set at
liberty. At the same time I determine to annul all the
proceedings pending in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom
for the above-mentioned crimes, commanding the release
from prison of the persons detained for those causes.
The special court existing at Mantua ceases from this
moment, and its functions shall be at an end."

A letter dated Vienna, Jan. 26, says :—The
dissolution of the Special Criminal Court, which
held its sittings at Mantua, will not fail to
produce an excellent impression on the in-
habitants of the Lombardo -Venetian king-
dom. The tribunal in question, which was
as odious to the Italians as was the Star Chamber
to the subjects of his Majesty King Charles I. of
England, was not a court-martial in the strict sense
of the expression : but military judges, called audi-
tores, were attached to it, and it rarely or never hap-
pened that a person accused of treasonable practices
was discharged because his innocence was proved.
If a prisoner was liberated, it was because his guilt
was "not proven" (ab instantia). The dissolution
of the special court at Mantua is a proof that thb
Emperor is resolved to try whether his Italian sub-
jects may not be governed with the sceptre instead
of the sword, and it will probably be their own
fault if he again has recourEe to harsh measures.
It is evident that the intentions of the Sovereign
and of his official advisers are good, but it is greatly
to be feared that the favourable impression which
the recent' measures have produced will be
weakened by want of tact of the inferior authori-
ties. It would not be advisable to hold the reins
of Government loosely, but every measure which
could needlessly wound the pride or give umbrage
•to the Italians ought to be carefully avoided.

ing-houses, will be ecrupulously respected, but public
property of every kind, with the contents of grauaries,
magi.zines, and public buildings, including arms, =mu-
nition, and public treasure, most be transferred, with
official lists, into their hands.

a storm on the Ist of December, to the point
which was very well understood from the first,
to be that of their ulterior destination—

Bushire ! Captain JONES, our resident at that
place, quitted it on the 3d, announced his politi-
cal connection with Persia to have ceased, and
intimated to the authorities that thenceforth they
would have to communicate not with himself, but
with the military and maritime commanders of

the expedition. Upon the following day (the 4th),
the neighbouring Island of Karrak—formerly held
by us from 1839 to 1841—was quietly occupied,
and at once converted into a military depot. Two

days later (namely, on the 6th), our fleet having
moved back from their position off Bushire to

Hallila Bay, then and there dislodged from 300 to
400 of the enemy, and disembarked the troops with-
out molestation. Hence—keeping each other in view
—the fleet and the troops advanced along the coast
line of Persia to Bushire, precisely as the fleet

NAPLES.

The Presse has the following despatch, which is
several days later than the letters already published,
and shows that the excitement and agitation which
our own correspondent described have gone on
increasing :

" NAPLES, JAN. 21.

" The theatres are closed ; most of the cafes and
hotels, more than half of the printing-offices, and
the greater part of the libraries are also closed.
The Custom-house is nearly deserted. Judge of
the state in which we are. The letter-boxes are
shut, and every person wishing to post a letter
must deliver it personally into the hand of a clerk.
Since the explosion of the powder magazine and
the arrest of Milano, more than 500 persons have
been arrested, and of these certainly not more than
100 have been released."

MESSINA, Jan. 23.—Political arrests in Sicily
increase in the most deplorable and odious manner,
without any discrimination, and even against the
opinions of the local authorities.
The prisons are so encumbered that it has been
found necessary to dispose of the prisOners. Twenty
five were embarked in the night between the
20th and 21st on board the steam-corvette the
Miseno, to be transported. to the Rocks of Utica
and Pavigliano, desert islets off the west coast of
Sicily.
Some of the prisoners were garotted, and the
exasperation of the people is extreme.
CATANIA., Jan. 22 —Commeice is entirely at a
stand ; the theatres are abandoned ; the clubs are
closed ; the streets are silent and almost deserted,
for nobody is met but agents of the police escorted
by military.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market has been inWaive but firm, the late
news from China having strengthened the market. Holders
of Congou demand is 2d per pound, and are very likely to
obtain it before long.
SUGAR.—The demand still continues good for all de-
scriptions. The supplies being limited, prices have again
slightly advanced. A large business has been done in good
grocery descriptions, chiefly for home consumption. Iu
the refined market business is also active, and there are
ready buyers of brown lumps at 62s 6d, and low to fine
grocery at 63s to 64s per cwt.
COFFEE.—A good demand still exists for all qualities,
and the supplies being extremely small, prices are in all
instances fully maintained. Good to fine Plantation Cey-
lon realises 70s to 804, and clean Native 56s to 58s per cwt.
RICE —The demand has been less active, and quotations
generally have been in favour of buyers.
RU3l.—Market flat, but prices rule firm.
SPICES.—At the public sales most descriptions of spices
ruled rather easier, but cinnamon was firm.
SALTPETRE. —The market has been exceedingly dull, and
former rates are barely maintained.
COCHINEAL.—This article has been very inactive, and a
decline of ld per lb may be quoted on tha inferior descrip-
tions.
TALLOW.—There has been more firmness displayed by
holders, and a good business has been done at rather higher
rates P.Y.C., on the spot, 62s 3d t 3 62s 6d per cwt.
GREEN FRUIT.—The market is firm and prices are well
supported. Some parcels of oranges' from St. Michael,
sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, went at an ad-
vance of 2s to 3s per package. Barcelona nuts have im-
proved 2s per bag. Seville sours are in demand, crop
limited. Lemons are without alteration, stock short.

MONTENEGRO.

A letter from Vienna of the 23d inst., in the
Bourse Gazette of Berlin, contains the following
on the situation of the Porte with regard to
Montenegro : " Certain journals have erro-
neously announced that war would break out
next spring between Turkey and Montenegro.
It is well known that an expedition was last year
projected against the latter country, but that the
affair was amicably arranged, and that Baron de
Mamula, who had come to Vienna for that pur-
pose, left that capital after the Porte had addressed
to the great power=, and particularly to the Aus-
trian Cabinet, explanations which made•known to
them the reasons of the quarrel, and tranquillised
them with respect to the future. According to
these declarations, the Porte still considers Monte-
negro as a territory subject to its sovereignty, but
will not make any change in existing relations as
long as the Montenegrins remain tranquil. The
Cabinets fully approved of this explanation, and
the state of affairs has not since changed."

LAT EI ST ll S.

The Russian journal Le Word, of yesterday,
publishes a telegraphic despatch from St. Peters-
burg of the contents of a despatch received there
from Teheran, dated .the 21st of December.
It mentions the appearance of the British fleet,
consisting of 8 steamers and 13 or 14 transports,
off Bushire. The English army is stated to con-
sist principally of Sepoys and Negroes, commanded
by General Outram., The English had over-
powered a small fort near Bushire. The Persians
have from 50,000 to 55,000 troops in the pro-
vinces exposed to the enemy's invasion.

The King of Naples has concluded a convention
with the Argentine Republic for the reception of
his political prisoners, who may consent to b•
exiled thither. The offer has been made to
Poerio, but he has declined to go.

The Governor of the Bank of France, in reply
to questions in a meeting of shareholders, stated
that he was made acquainted with the project for
the augmentation of the capital of the Bank merely
through the newspapers.
Mr. Kelley, the American engineer, whose plan
for cutting a ship canal across the Isthmus of Pa-
nama, without locks, has been already noticed, had
an audience yesterday of the Emperor. His Ma-
jesty expressed himself pleased with what had been
done towards reducing this great undertaking to
what the engineer believes to be a practicable and
tangible shape. The Emperor examined Mr. Kel-
ley's large maps and drawings with great attention,
and said he would join the British and American
Governments in making a verification of Mr.
Kelley's route and a thorough survey of the whole
Isthmus.

It was not a strictly honest report, a faithful nar-
rative of the dreadful calamities that occurred,
and the causes to which these calamities might

diction. of the Court of Chancery. With that

addition there would be no lack of occupation--
indeed the only question would be whether there
would not be too much, and whether it might not
be indispensable to appoint two Vice-Chancellors

and two Common Law Judges, in addition to the

Judge of the Court, with power to sit in separate
Courts, and with an appeal, either to the Lords
Justices or to the Exchequer Chamber, according
to the nature of the business transacted, and an

ultimate one to the House of Lords. But
should there be any spare time the transfer of
matrimonial causes, for which such a tribunal
would be peculiarly qualified, would give ample
employment. The Vice-Chancellor's time might
easily be spared, when it is considered how large
a proportion of the business transacted by the
Equity Judges has relation to testamentary suits.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco.—Before Lord Campbell and Jueices
Coleridge, Wightinati, and Crompton.)
HENDERSON V. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

Lerd Campbell delivered judgment in this case. The
plaintiff had sued the Royal British Bank and obtained
judgment against it ; hut, instead of putting it in force
against the bank, applied to this Court f)r a rule nisi
against a particular shareholder to show cause why exe.
cution should not be issued against him. Cause was
shown against the rule, on the ground that fraud had
been practised by the directors wken the shares were
obtained, by representing that the bank was in a flourish-
ing condition, when, in fact, it was in an insolvent state ;
and that, therefore, the shareholder was not liable. His
lordship said that the Court, at the time cause was shown
against the rule, bad no doubt whatever on the matter ;
but, as similar cases were before the Courts of Common
Pleas and Exchequer, they thought it better to confer
with the other judges before giving judgment. That
conference had taken place, and the learned judges were
unanimously of opinion that the shareholder was not
relieved of his liability.
The rule was accordingly made absolute.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN IU SEACOLE AND DAY.

Tn CRIMEAN HEROINE—Today was appointed for
consideration of the certificates of Madame Seacole
(whose name is so familiar in connection with the Cri•
mean campaign, for her attention to the wounded on the
field), and her partner, Mr. Thy, described as of Tavi-
stock•street, Cavent-garien, provision merchant.
There was no opposition, and his Honour granted
immediate certificates of the first class, on the ground
that the bankruptcy had arisen wholly from unavoidable
loss and misfortune.

Madame Seaccdo was warmly congratulated by those
in court, and said that she was quite ready to go out to
India, if she could be of any service to the army.

IN BE BAINDRIDCIE AND DELL.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of these
bankrupts, described as of Southwark-bridge-road, boot
manufacturers. It may be remembered that the bank-
rupt Bainbridge absconded to America, but ultimately
returned, and was allowed to surrender, but the accounts
were very unsatisfactory.

Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, now ap-
peared for Bainbridge, and Mr. Warrand for Dell.

Mr. Turner, for the assignees, opposed on the ground
that the accounts were still unsatisfactory, as there was
still a large sum of money unaccounted for, and a fur-
ther adjournment took place.
