Oar market is steady, but quiet ; working descriptions
are in good demand, and command full prices, as do also
good grocery sorts, excepting Barbadoes. In Harannabs,
two cargoes have been sold hero this week, viz , one of
1,100 boxes No. 13i at 2tis., and one of 801 boxes No. 13
at 275, both fully insured and on floating conditions. Re.
fined produce has again met with a fair demand this week
for immediate as also for forward delivery, but we are not
able to quote any advance in prices. Ruin is rathor dull,

DENMARK.

Before the Holstein-Lauenburg Domain ques-
tion is brought before the Bund another not will
be sent by Austria and Prussia to Copenhagen.
The two great German Powers will refute certain
incorrect assertions which are contained in the
Danish note, and endeavour to prove to Denmark
'that her recent measure-4 in Holstein are a
violation of rights and privileges to which that
duchy, as an integral part of the German
Confederation, is entitled. A so-called " Verbal
Note" accompanied •the Danish despatch of Feb.
23, but it produced no effect either on Austria or
on Prussia. According to a correspondent of the
Frankfort Post Zeitung, the contents of the docu-
ment were that the Danish Cabinet would agree to
suspend the sale of the Holstein-Lauenburg do-
mains, and to settle the question to the satisfaction
of the German Powers, if they would pledge
themselves not to interfere any more between Den-
mark and the Duchies. That Austria, whose great
hobby is the " maintenance of principles," will nev
agree to such a compromise need hardly be said
Count Buol gave Baron Bulow such an icy recep-
tion that he lost no time in quitting the city, and re-
turning either to Berlin or to his post at Frank-
fort. The French Government seems to be deter-
mined that the German-Danish difference shall not
be settled without its having a share in the negotia-
tions, for it has given Austria and Prussia to
understand that it is inclined Co espouse the cause of
Denmark. The British Government has just at
present "a great many irons in the fire," but still
It would not be advisable to neglect the Danish-
Holstein question, as the Crown of Denmark must
sooner or later revert to a member of the Russian
Imperial family.

THE NEW IiUSSIAN RAILWAYS.

The Managing CAnthittee of the Company for
building the Russian railways notified on the 12111,
inst. that the fourth portion of the first issue 01
shares in Russia, that is to say, 150,000 shares, 15
about to be opened to public subscripton. Tbe
subscription is to be open from April 16th (280)
till. April 23d (May 4th) ; the amount to be Paid P.
down is 12r. 50c. per share, which on allotment ;3
to be made up to 50r., or 30 per cent. of the wheLle
amount. This intimation 'has, naturally enoug.ol
drawn the attention of capitalists and economists 111
Russia wit h redoubled acumen to the examination et
the merits of the entire question. For the sake Or
those at a distance it will Le expedient for me 1°
select from the numerous articles that have of late
appeared on the subject one that was published in
the Economical Advertiser of St. Petersburg a little
time previous to this advertisement of the opening
of the subscription lists being published, premising
only that its expressed intention is to remove the im-
pression still lurking in Russia that the foreigners
will make too good a thing out of the construction of
railways in Russia. Of the latter it is said that the
foreigners have for the most part estimated the costs
of constructing the lines far too low. Marshes, con-
siderable streams, which often overflow theirshallovt
banks and lay large tracts of land under water,
ravines er deep and wide rain-gulleys, which inter-
sect the steppes of New Russia, the very rocky
terrain in t'ae central governments of Russia, more
particularly between Moscow and Orel, the tots'
absence of stone and wood in the steppes, &c., are
circumstances which will necessarily render these
constructions very difficult and expensive. Iron,
even if it is to be imported from'England, will be
fearfully enhanced in cost by the expenses of trans:
port, the price of labour in those thinly-populate('
districts cannot yet Le estimated, and the inevit-
able suspension of the' wPrks during the win"
ter months will cause considerab'e accumulations
of interest on the capital paid in, and eve°,
when the lines approach completion the Wall"
of fuel cannot fail of being very sensibly felt'
Among the advantages that Russia will eletiv.e
from these works, wirenewr they are finished, it
t
is pointed out that with these increased means f).‘
locomotion it will no longer be necessary to eon'
centrate large bodies of troops in localities where
it is difficult or expensive to provision them; the
fortresses, which have hitherto baen kept up
chiefly for the purpose of accommodating these
large bodies cf men, and of protecting the
wily large quantities of provisions for their OE
port, and their materiel of war, can in future be
considerably reduced.

HOME CIRCUIT.—KINGSTON, MAROS 21.
CROWN SIDE.
(Before Mr. Baron Channel].)
Mary Anne Miles, 30, a forbidding-looking
young woman, was indicted for the wilful murder
of her male illegitimati
Mr. Charnock, who appeared for the prisoner,
said he could not attempt to struggle against a con-
victionfor concealing the birth of the child.

The jury accordingly found the prisoner guilty
of that offence.

Eliza, Brooker, 23, was also charged with the
wilful murder of her female iilegitimite child.
The jury acquitted the prisoner of murder, but
found her guilty of concealing the birth of the
child.

She wa3 at once called up for judgment, and his
lordship said that seeing she had already been in
prison since the month of October, the sentence
upon her would be three months' imprisonment and
hard labour.

The other prisoner, Mary Anne Miles, was
sentenced. to nine months' hard labour. It ap-
paars that she was convicted seven years ago for a
similar offence, and sentenced to four months' im-
prisonment.
Both courts rose to-day at 3 o'clock.

The Councillor of State, A. H. Hoßinder, Esq.
Von Stovetn. T. Renny, Esq.
A. Hill, Esq. H. Robinson, Esq.
ENGINEER IN CIIIEF—J. Hawkshaw, Esq.

The Directors have much pleasure in announcing the receipt from
St. Petersburg of official co. ics of the documents confirming the in-
telligence of the successcul termination of the negotiations vs:th the
Imperial Russian Government relative to this Railway.
In consequence of the many advantageous changes which have
been made in the length and route of this line, in the construction of
the architectural works, cod in the relaxation of some of the original
restrictive speculations, the Directors have been enabled to accept
a reduction in the fixed capital, and thus materially improve the
prospect of future dividends.

The term of the concession has been extended from 56 to 75 years,
dating from the opening of the whole line ; during which period the
Company will enjoy the profits
The Imperial Government has not reserved to itself the right to
pwrchase the line during the term of the concession.
The terms, as now arranged, enable the Directors to substantiate
the original representation of a minimum interest of 5 per cent. upon
the required capital; end the terms of the. contract for the con-
struction of the line as approved by the engineer-in-chief leave such
a margin as to justify the Directors in anticipating an increase on
that percentage. . . .

_ .
The Company is not required to account to the Imperial Govern-
ment for its expenditure, bat the guarantee applies to the fixed ca-
pital for 75 years; hence, any saving in the cost of the works en-
hances the value of the guarantee. This, however, is of less im r °r-
anee, inasmuch as the result of a more careful examina.lon of the
confirms tile expectations of dividends far beyond it.

The shares will beredneed from lON. to .21L, or 500 francs, or 125
8 lver roubles each. . . _

The calls will he made over a period of three years; the larger
portion faring upon the second and thi, d years.
The capital authorised by the Imperial Russian floverament In-
cludes a sum granted for the payment of interest during construe.
tion.

Interest at 5 per cent. per annum will be paid on calls not!! the
opening of line.
Due notice will he given of the necessary arrangements conse-
quent upon these alterations, as soon es they hare been decided
upon by the directors.—By order of the Board.

THE TIMES OF ELECTION.
The time for proceeding to elections to coun-
ties and boroughs in England and Wales (the act
does not extend to Scotland or Ireland) is fixed by
the 16th and 17th Vio', c. 68 (15th August, 1853).
In counties, by the second section of this act, the
elections are to take place not later than the 12tb,
nor sooner than the 6th, day after the sheriff's pro-
clamation ; and this proclamation is to be made by
the sheriff immediately, i.e., at latest within two
days "after the receipt of the writ." In boroughs,
by the 3d section, the returning officer must " pro-
ceed to tha election within six days after the re-
ceipt of the writ," and must "give three clear
days' notice, at least, of the day of election, exclu-
sive of the day of proclamation and the day of elec-
tion." By the 15th and 16th Vic., c. 23 (17th
June, 1852), it is enacted that Parliament, after a
dissolution, may meet within 35 days after the date
of the proclamation. Thus it appears that the new
Parliament will assemble within five weeks from
tha issuing of the writs ; within a fortnight from
the same period all the county elections in England
and Wa'es must have terminated, and within a
wok all the borough elections. Thes9 limits do
not apply to Scotland or Ireland ; but as Parlia-
ment assembles within 35 days from the date of the
proclamation, all Scotch and Irish elections must
have terminated before the expiration of that t.me.
London, England, 1857-03-23

aware of the ominous hints respecting the division
of "the sick man's" assets, and of the threatening
clouds hanging over the Eastern horizon. But
still he disregarded all these salutary warnings,
and acted as if he believed that denuding
the Exchequer of its balances and paying off
nearly nine millions of debt at the commence-
ment of a formidable war was really " a
valuable financial demonstration," as declared
by his great admirer of the Fourth Estate—the
Jupiter tonans of Printing House-square. Since
that year searcely anything has been accom-
plished. The pendency of the war has been the
apology for total inaction in all doniestic matters,
and since its "lame and impotent conclusion"
the memories of the past have been the excuses
for continued idleness. It was hopeless to expect
anything really good or useful at its hands. The
" season was not opportune " for bringing the
good seed sown to maturity. Even during the
current year we were threatened with a prolon_
gation of the iniquitous Bank Charter Act with-
out change or modification of any descrip-
tion. Mr. LOCKE KING'S motion for the
much - required extension of the suffrage,
was negatived ; and although many no-
tices were placed on the beck,- there was
nothing to test the feeling of the House on the
question of the revision of the Income Tax.
From the very commencement of its career it
showed that it " had no aptitude for domestic
legislation." Reformers have much to do to
compensate for the shortcomings of the Parlia-
ment inaugurated under the auspices of the Earl
of DERBY. We can only hope that their future
zeal and energy may make some scanty atone-
ment for much time scandalously wasted
and misapplied. The defunct Parliament
will act as a " beacon light," to show
how little use may be made of the best possible
material'. All that we can say is that the same
apathy that prevented it from passing beneficial
measures, also arrested the progress of others
highly detrimental to the welfare and prosperity
of the nation. Its offences were those chiefly of
omission ; but for the want of energy and deci-
sion we should have been victimised with a Bank
Charter Act, continued until 1866, and an un-
modified Income Tax for at least three years
longer.

WOOL.

Since the close of the public sales our market has ruled
heavy for both foreign and colonial wool. English qualities,
too, have been dull, and some forced sales of skin combing
have been made at a decline of fully ld. per 8 lb. Last
week's imports were 1,697 baleA from Odessa, 4,300 from
Sydney, 2,379 from Melbourne, 798 from Bombay, 82 from
Mogado; 100 from the Cape, 700 from Algoa Bay, 103
Buenos Ayres, and 33 from St. Helena.
The following are the current rates of English wool :
Down tegs, is 7d to is 8d ; half-bred hoggets, is Gil to is
7d ; Kent fleeces, is 5d to Is 6d ; Down ewes, is 5,1 to

TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE
SEASON 1857. _

In announcing the arrangements for another season, the
Director of her Majesty's Theatre cannot but refer, with sin-
cere gratitude, to the success which attended his efforts, un-
der very trying circumstances, in the season of 1856.
Dramatic Opera, which in every foreign State is fostered by
Government aid, is, in this country, denied the support which
is extended to other departments of art ; and it is to the
patronage of the upper classes, who have rallied round the
establishment, that the country owes the prosperity of a
*obi° lyrical institution, which no unsupported individual
efforts could maintain in a manner worthy of its old renown.
In acknowledging the munificent assistance which enabled
him to conquer the unprecedented difficulties of last year, the
Director cannot sufficiently express his grateful appreciation
of the delicacy with which it was bestowed. Support was
freely and nobly accorded for the sole purpose of insuring the
prosperity of the institution, and the counsel which added to
its value was never accompanied by a word to shackle tho
discretion or impair the authority of the direction. To this
the success of the past season is greatly owing ; and from the
generous confidence with which the subscribers have renewed
their subscriptions for the present year, without awai• ing the
publication of the annual programme, the Director derives
the assurance that he has not altogether disappointed the
patrons of the theatre, and that he may rely on the continu-
ance of the cordial encouragement by which he has been
hitherto upheld, and under which it is hoped still higher
triumphs may be achieved than were immediately attainable
on the restoration of the establishment.

The reports of a contemplated treaty of com-
merce and navigation between Russia and France
gain rapidly in consistency ; it is now confidently
affirmed that the draft of the treaty. is already
entirely elaborated, and that its final execution
and publication is only delayed until the very
thorough revision of the Russian tariff, whicli is
now being most assiduously laboured at, is com-
pleted.

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
The report of the Minister of State of the Budget
of 1858 has been presented and read.
It shows an excess of receipts over expenditure
to the amount of 25,000,000 f.
In conformity with the ideas o 1 the Emperor, it
is recommended that this sutplus shall be applied
to the redemption of the floating d(l3'.
Thus, through the foresight and prudent mea-
sures of the Government, the regeipts not only
equal the expenditure, but realise a large excess.
The Moniteur. of Saturday contains the decree
granting to the Marshal Duke of Malakhoff an an-
nual pension of 100,000 f. It is declared transmis-
sible to his direct legitimate descendants in the
male line, but reverts to the State on their failure.
It is further inalienable and protected from all pro-
ce-s (inalienable et insaissible.)
The Borysthene, steam-packet, „from Marseilles
for the East, carries out as passengers the tour bro-
thers of Abd-el-Rader. They are accompanied by
their wives, as well as eight children of the Emir,
five of whom are very young. These personages,
who have with them a su►te of 18 persons, will land
at Beyrout, whence they will proceed to Damascus
to join their brother. Thza are also on board the
Borysthene thirty Chriitian pilgrims going to
Jerusalem.
