RUSSIA.

The German paper.state that the reserve divisions
of the three infantry corps which are now quartered
in Poland are being placed on a war footing.

Letters from Ifucharest of the 31st ult. announce
that General LUDERS, the Russian Commander in
the Danubian principalities, has been summoned to
St. Petersburgh.

ITALY. ,
The French Gavernment has received the fallow-
ing telegraphic dispatch, dated Naples, April 9 :
The Pure entered Terracina on the evening of
the 6th, where he met such a reception as may be
regarded as a good omen. He set out at a very
early hour yesterday morning for Frosinone."
The Giornale di Roma publishes a notification
from the Minister of Finance, fixing the 12th of
April as the last day on which the bills of the Roman
Bank will be received or exchanged. The commis-
sion fur the recovery and restitution of articles im-
pressed for the use of the late Republic, has issued a
notice stating that those articles which have not hitherto
been claimed by their owners shall be sold by auction
to cover the expenses of the commission. Cardinal
SPINOLA returned to Rome on the 4th. On the day
before, Monsignor DE LIGNE, Domestic Prelate of
his Holiness, and Prefect of the Master of Ceremo-
nies, arrived from Portici.

ILLNESS or MR. ROEBUCK, M.P.—We regret to
hear that Mr. Roebuck continues to be rather indisposed.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was very much fatigued
by his professional services at the northern circuit, where he
was engaged op some heavy trials, and it appears that he has
suffered more or lass ever since. His illness, however, is not
of a dangerous character.
ACCIDENT IN THE THUNDER STORM.--The storm
of Friday was extremely destructive. A man, unknown, was
struck dead by the electric fluid near the Nightingale,
Lisson-grove, and removed to the Paddington dead-house.
A billy-boy, 80 tons burthen, was also struck near to Hun-
gerford Suspension-bridge, and instantly sunk, the crew,
three in number, escaping almost by a miracle. The enor-
mous hailstones that fell have destroyed property to a con-
siderable amount in the suburbs, more particularly in
the nursery grounds at Kilburn, .Fulham, Deptford, Camber-
well, &c.

VOLUNTARY CONFISSION OF A MURDER.—Much
excitement has been caused in the neighbourhood of Sun-
bury and Laleham, in consequence of a man named Charles
Holden, a labourer, aged 40 years, having voluntarily sur-
rendered himself up to the police and confessed that he mur-
dered a young woman twenty years ago. Holden has stated
most clearly and distinctly that about the time specified he
used to keep company with a young woman, aged 18, named
Jane Lewis ; that one night, in going across a field path
with her, between Chertsey and Laleham, they had a quar-
rel, and he gave her a blow with his left hand under the ear,
from the effects of which she instantly expired ; that he
then carried the body into a plantation near to the mansion-
house of the Earl of Lucan, where he buried her, having first
made a bole two feet deep with a spade, which he got from
the tool-house of Lord Lucan's gardener. He then stated
the exact place where he had laid the body, and went with
two policemen to point out the spot. It appears that in No-
vember last a skeleton was found in this very place, and a
communication was made to Mr. Wakley upon the subject,
but that gentleman, owing to some information received
from a surgeon in the neighbourhood, declined to hold an
inquest, and no further notice was taken of the skeleton. The
statement made by the prisoner has been taken down in
writing, and he has several times declared solemnly the truth
of it, both before the policemen and Mr. Marriott, one of the
county magistrates. He has been remanded to the next petty
sessions.

THE MURDER AT NEWPORT.—NEWPORT, MON-
MOUTHSHIRE, Twansnasts—The two Irishmen, Maurice
Murphy and Patrick Sullivan, who, as stated in The Sun of
Wednesday, had been apprehended by the Gloucestershire
police at Cheltenham, on the charge of having murdered a
poor old woman named Lewis, at Bassaley, near this town,
have undergone an examination before the magistrates here
upon the charge. There can be no doubt, from the testi-
mony of the witnesses, that the horrid crime was committed
by one or both of the prisoners, each of whom, when before
the authorities, laid the crime upon the other. Patrick
Sullivan gave a detailed account of the transaction. He re-
presented that the poor woman was knocked down with
a stone by Murphy, and then kicked about the head, and
that they robbed her of her shawl and a little money which
they found upon her. It appears that the brutal ruffians
mistook the unfortunate deceased for another woman whom
they had seen receive some money for a cow which she had
sold in Newport fair, and whom they had resolved to follow
and rob. By some means, however, they afterwards mistook
the woman, and followed and murdered the deceased. The
magistrates fully committed the prisoners fur trial on the
charge of murder.
ROYAL ADELAIDE.—The following is copied from
the Jersey Times of the 12th inst. :—Drowned in the Royal
Adelaide, on her passage from Cork to London, the 30th
March, Anthony Le Ber, Esq., and his faimily, consisting of
his wife and six children, three sons and three daughters, the
eldsst 16, and the youngest 8, leaving behind one daughter.
NAVIGATION LAWS.—We understand that informa-
tion has been received that the advantage of the admission
of British vessels into the indirest trade with the United
States, consequent upon the repeal of the British navigation..
laws, is beginning to be felt in the orange trade from the
Azores. The cargoes in this trade being of a perishable
nature, the exporter prefers British to Portuguese vessels for
the purpose of carrying them to the foreign market, as being
both better found and more fearlessly sailed, and therefore
better calculated to deliver them in good order, and several
British ships have been employed since the beginning of the
present year in the trade between these islands and the
United States. Portuguese vessels could at all times be
chartered at a lower freight, but they have only been em-
ployed in such voyages as were closed to British vessels.
There is every reason to believe that, for the future, this
trade will give regular employment to a certain number of
British vessels of between 50 and 60 tons burden.—Times.
ESQUIMAU% VOCABULARY.—We understand that a
dozen copies of the Esquimaux Vocabulary, compiled by
Captain Washington, R.N., and published by order of the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for the use of the
Arctic Expeditions, were dispatched to New York by the
Cambria mail steamer on the 13th inst. to Mr. H. Grinnell,
the generous merchant of that city, who is fitting out a pri-
vate expedition from the United States of America to go in
search of Sir John Franklin and his companions. A simi-
lar number of the vocabulary were forwarded to Captain
Penny at Aberdeen for the use of the two ships under his
command, which were to sail on Saturday afternoon for
Davis's Straits. It is worthy of notice, as showing the libe-
ral feeling that animates all parties with reference to the
Arctic Expeditions, that the British and North American
Royal Mail Steam-packet Company having accidentally
learnt the contents of the parcel, refused to receive any pay-
ment for its carriage.
METROPOLITAN POLlCE.—Captain Douglas W. P.
Labalmondiere is appointed Chief Superintendent of the
Metropolitan Police, in the place of Captain Hay, who has
succeeded Sir Charles Rowan as joint Commissioner with
Mr. Mayne.— Sunday Paper.
TRANSFER OF LICENCES.—STRAND.—List Friday
was appointed for holding a special session for transferring
victuallers' licences for the division ; but in consequence of
there not being sufficient magistrates present to make a bench,
na business was transacted. To constitute a special session
it is necessary that there should be two magistrates, but
upon this occasion the only gentleman in the commission in
attendance was Mr. Autrobus, and he, after waiting until an
hour beyond the appointed time, left. The result was that
the business ready to be brought forward was postponed
until the next special session day, 7th June.
THE REV. DR. NOLAN AND THE COUNTY CON-
GREGATIONAL UNIOR.---The annual general meeting of
ministers and delegates of the Congregationalists of this
county was held at Liverpool, on Thursday last, when it
was unanimously resolved that the church of Ducie Chapel,
of which the Rev. Dr. Nolan still holds the pastorate,
should be expelled from the union; the consequence of
which decision is, that this place of worship is no longer
regarded by the Independents as a congregational chapel.
We understand that, in conformity with the rules of the
union, prior to the annual meeting, Dr. Nolan and his
church had been served with notice that their connexion
witk the union was objected to. Accordingly Dr. Nolan
and two of his deacons attended to defend themselves
against the objection. On the nomination of the com-
mittee, it is stated that Dr. Nolan wished to propose
a layman or laymen connected with Ducie Chapel ; but
this was objected to, on the ground that it was very
unusual that parties acdused should be allowed to be-
come their own judges in their own cause. Dr. Nolan
then claimed the right to object to any one of the nine gen-
tlemen, as they were proposed. He objected to the first
minister proposed (the Rev. J. Kelly, of Liverpool), and
proposed another in his stead; but as no one seconded his
proposition except one of his own deacons. of course his
amendment was lost. The second minister nominated being
absent, Dr. Nolan nominated in his stead the Rev. Mr. Har-
rison, of Heywood, who was appointed. To the third minis-
ter nominated, the Rev. J, Sutcliffe, of Ashton, Dr. Nolan
objected; and on that gentleman being elected almost
unanimously, Dr. Nolan said he should decline going on
with Isis defence, and should withdraw from the union. Mr.
lick, one of his deacons, then said that he fully agreed with
Dr. Nolan, and that he was instructed by the church at
Ducie Chapel, to state that they should also withdraw from
the union. The chairman (Dr. Blackburn) said that they
could not withdraw, but that Dr. Nolan and his church were
expelled from the union.—lllanchester Guardian.
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.--0a Wednes-
day, the 311 instant, a fat cow was slaughtered by Mr. E.
Boddington, of Rugby. In the belly he found three calves,
one of which, under the ordinary course of nature, should
have dropped twelve months ago ; the other two were twins,
with which the cow had gone six months. The first calf
weighed 811 b. ; the hair was very long, and the teeth pro-
minent. At the time the cow was expected to have calved
she lost flesh, and this was attributed to some disease; she
afterwards gained flesh, and was taken to the bull, and stall-
fed. The calves and womb have been sent to the Veterinary
College in London, who have sent a letter to Mr. Walker,
veterinary surgeon of this place, requesting him to collect
and send them every particular concerning this singular
affair, and account fur it in this way :—at the time the calf
should have been brought forth it escaped through a lesion
in the womb and lay in the abdominal cavity twelve months;
that this lesion closed up afterwards and the twins were soon
afterwards formed in the womb. There were eleven stone of
fat in the cow.—Leicestershire Mercury.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAIL;YAY.—The opening
of the Dudley Branch of the South Staffordshire Railway is
announced to take place on the Ist of May, and by this route
there will be a direct communication (although somewhat
circuitous) between Birmingham, Wednesbury, Greatbridge,
Tipton, and Dudley, besides that sow existing between Bir-
mingham, Walsall, Lichfield, and Burton-upon-Trent. The
communication between the mining districts of East Worces-
tershire and South Staffordshire and the Midland and North-
ern counties of England will thus be complete.
RESIGNATION OF DE CANDOLLE.—We hear with
regret, that the state of public affairs at Geneva ha, induced
the celebrated botanist, De Candolle, to resign his chair and
the direction of the Botanical Garden of Geueya.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 70 THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 7,000 were Ameri-
can; 400 Pernam and Maranham realised bid. to 71,-d.,
300 Bahia at 61d. to qd., and 400 Surat at 4lrl. to sd.
per lb. The market closed firmly with a hardening
tendency.—ln Railway Shales a further depression in
prices occurred, and the market closed h. avily.
The Corn Market in Mark-lane is very depressed
again. English Wheat being Is. to 25., and fore'gn,
lower.

Aris' Gazette of to-day gives the fullowing upon the
iron trade:—

" Our notice of the quarterly meetings, which did
not conclude until late on Saturday evening last, must
necessarily be short. The observations we made
throughout the week, and the informations we have
obtained, are far from encouraging. Considerable num-
bers attended both at Wolverhampton, Birmingham,
and Dudley, but the amount of business dune was un-
usually small ; indeed, scarcely anything was trans-
acted further than the se,tlement s,f accounts. The:e
were very readily arranged, being of a very limited
character, from the large reductions entailed upon our
district during the last six months, both in produce and
consumption. Considerable firmness has been mani-
fested by makers and sellers of iron, and
purchasers have as resolutely refused to buy,
both parties aver that they are utterly unable
to relax their demands, and but little anxiety to do busi-
ness on either side has prevailed. Merchants' e arc -
houses are known to be by no means heavily stocked,
and they are not altogether without orders; but
the demand is so unsettled, and so far from
realising previous expectations, that they are with-
holding their contracts in the hope that easier terms
may be submitted to when the quarterly meetings are
concluded. A general reduction can, however, scarcely
be contemplated, as present prices of both pig and bar
iron are barely sufficient to protect the iron master from
ruin, and an attempt to lower wages, which must neces-
sarily follow, would doubtless be met by a stubborn re-
sistance on the part of the workmen. In pig iron very
little has been done; but a few parcels changed
hands on Saturday evening at a shale lower quota-
tions: Since midsummer last, several furnaces have been
blown out, and others have reduced their make, while,
in some instances, portions of Christmas sales have
yet to be delivered. Manufacturers also are consuming
much less than they expected, and, under the present
critical circumstances, are scarcely justified in purchas-
ing beyond the immediate wants of the hour, hence more
than usual indifference has prevailed in this branch of
the trade also.

" Coals, ironstone, and limestone retain their full
prices, and in general have hitherto met with a ready
sale. Under the sanguine impressions of last quarter-
day, many of the accumulations of ironstone were swept
off; and the stone getters are now prepared for hold-
ing their stocks, unless they can realise the same
figures.
" The general feeling of the trade seems to incline
towards an equable and universal reduction of make,
rather than any attempt at reduction in price, which is
thought would only lead to disastrous results. The
Shropshire trade has resolved to maintain their present
position with scrupulous integrity."
There is no intelligence yet of the American mail
steamer.

The accounts from Germany are interesting in a com-
mercial point of view, as they notice the prevalence
of embarrassment among some of the firms which
bare been most largely engaged in sugar and
corn speculations. The great reaction in the
prices of both those commodities has been of a
nature, certainly, to test the strength of houses of even
very ample means, though some of them may counter-
balance their recent losses by the previous gains in
coffee. How long the existing state of things in the
corn trade is to last remains to be seen, for it is the
opinion of experienced parties that the Continental
growers and dealers must suffer greatly from the wide
extended competition to. which our Cue-trade system
exposes them.
Accounts from Holland state that the heirs of the late
King William have determined to accept the succession,
and will make a declaration to that effect on the 17th of
this month, the day after which the debts will be paid.
There has been a supply of money stock again that
has caused the Consol market to fluctuate considerably,
but the tone is more buoyant than on Saturday. The
receipt of lower prices from Paris has been made rather
a handle of by speculative sellers, but with the abun-
dance of money here, and the prospect of our political
differences with foreign States being speedily adjusted,
the variation of the renter, unless occasioned by events
of importance to us as well as to France, should
hardly be estimated too highly. Consols have been
951 4, and since 95 for Transfer, and are 95i for
Account. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents.
have been 97 and 964. Bank Stock has been steady at
2t)6. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 68s. to 715..
premium. Loans on Stock are procurable at very low
rates, and there is but little demand for them.
In the foreign market the half-monthly account
is being arranged, and prices have fluctuated ac-
cording to the special circumstances affecting
each security. In Peruvian the Bears have pre-
dominated, and the Active Stock is up to 69 and
70, and the Deferred to 29i and 30. The Mexican spe-
calators are Bulls and the Bonds therefore have receded
to 2911 to 28i. Buenos Ayres Stock has been 541 to 55,
and Brazilian, 871. Spanish Five per Cents. have im-
proved to 18, and the Three per Cents. to 37+ They
come higher from Amsterdam, and it is said that a lead-
ing Hebrew capitalist will join the new committee of
bondholders. This is what has long been
wanted. Contrac•ors are bound by every consi-
deration of mercantile probity to assist the parties
who have embarked their means in loans brought out
under the auspices of the former. Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been 321 to 331. Danish Scrip is 41
premium, and Russian 1 to 2 premium. Dutch Ta o-
and-s• Half per Cents. are 55i to 56.
Railway Shares are exceedingly heavy upon the set-
tlement, and no real buyers come forward to support the
market.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
heavy for Wheat, at a decline in the quotrtions of frpts
is. to 2s. per quarter. All spring Corn, including Fluor.
was lower to purchase, owing to the large quantities' po''
offer. The latest accounts from New York represent
the demand for Grain and Flour as steady. At Danish!'
and Ode:i.a.. prices had a downward tendency. Ti-,e near
port continental markets have been in a very inactive
t
state. Up to our own market, last week, the arrivals of
English Grain were on the increase. From Ire!anti
no supplies reached us, while those from Scotland wnr°
limited. The foreign imports amounted to 25,901
.
quarters of Wheat, 16,160 ditto of Barley, 57,9.58 IF
of Oats, 3,924 ditto of Beans, 275 ditto of Peas, 1,
ditto of Tares, 2.973 ditto of Linseed, 1,699 ditto
Rapeseed, 37 ditto of Mustard Seed, 1,012 o tsv
of sundry Seeds, including Indian Corn, 3,60'
sacks and 10 barrels of Flour. Adsices
come to hand this morning, stating that severs;
large corn shipping houses abroad have moppet'

Essex a very scanty supply of Wheat was received fresh
up to this morning', market, coastwise as well as by laP"
carriage. The quantity from Kent and all other guar"
ters was but moderate; nevertheless the show of soar
pies, owing to several parcels being left over from Fri-
day, was fully equal to the demand. The pressure of
foreign Wheat and Flour still continues; the millers
purchased with extreme caution, and the factors, to eJr-
feet sales, were compelled to accept is to 2s per.
quarter less money • than on Monday last, ab
which amount of depression a total clearance Was
not effected. Offers have arrived from the East coasts
to ship home-grown Wheats at reduced prioeS•
We had a large quantity of foreign Wheat on sholvo
from granary as well as ex ship. Comparativelf
speaking, a very limited amount of business was trans'
acted, and prices gave way fully Is per quarter, at which
very little disposition was shown to effect purchases
any kind. The supply of English and Scotch Barley
was small; that of foreign very extensive. In moat Iry
stances the finest parcels sold slowly at late rates; hit
most other qualities gave way Is per quarter. With
Malt, ready for delivery, we were well supplied. The
transactions in that article were wholly in retail; bnc
we have no decline to notice in price'•
Au immense quantity of foreign Oats was brought for'
ward. This had a most depressing influence upon the
trade, and the currencies gave way Is per quarter. At
the close of the market the bulk of the supply remaide
unsold. We had a very inactive demand for Beans. at
barely last week's quotations. In Peas and Indian Corn
next to nothing was doing. All kinds of Flour were 01.•

NEWGATE AND LEADMNBALL.
Although the weather has been very, mild,' upwards of
2,000 carcases of country-killed Meat were received up
to these markets last week; while from Hamburg°
seven baskets of Bed came to hand. The supplies 00
offer, slaughtered in the metropolis, have been reason'
ably extensive, and of full average quality. ' Generall
speaking the trade is heavy, and late rates' are with diP
ficulty supported. About 500 carcasses of Foreign
Meat have been disposed of.
