Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam was at Halifax. The Illus-

Havannahr it was said to demand an explanation respecting
the imprisonment of several British subjects on account of
the late disturbances in the island, as well as all frde co-

to have left Mexico On the 28th of May, and his plac was
taken in the diligence for Vera Cruz, but on the morning he

could be given to the dispatches, of which he was the bearer,
until the arrival of Santa Anna in Mexico, who would; cer-
tainly arrive on the 3d of June.

A report was current that the United States Govern ent
'had offered five millions of dollars to Mexico, as the pri e of
ita'aCquiescence in the proposed plan of annexation.
Much excitement prevailed among the English, in con-
sequence of an English gentleman by the name of loyd
having been shot through the arm by one of the sentin son
duty at the Palace, for no other cause than his walki g on
the pavement before the Palace—a walk not prohibit dto
the Mexicans. Our Minister, Mr. Bankhead, had with eat
promptitude interfered,, and the soldier, as well as the cer
on guard, had been placed in arrest.
Serious disturbances took place in Dominica, origin ting
in opposition, on the part of the black population, to the
census. which was ordered to be taken on the 3d of Jun 4 and
which they imagined to be a preliminary step to re-esta-
blishing slavery. The negroes'collected in considerableum-
bers, assaulting the enumerators and commissioners, and se-
verely beating the magistrates who hastened to give their
assistance in explaining the meaning of the census. the
neighbourhood of the town of Roseau, martial law hoing
been. proclaimed in the island, the tumults soon ceased, the
people being awed by the presence of an armed force but
in the distant parts of the island, where this could not be so
soon done, the mob made use of their power to sack selveral,
houses; ultimately, being opposed by the militia, they dis-
'persed. About 100 persons were in gaol, on the departure of
the packet, waiting their trial'. The Governor of the Lee-
ward Islands, Sir Charles Fitzroy, had arrived in her: Ma-
jesty's ship Inconstant, Capt. Fremantle, end it was supposed
martial law would cease immediately. About eight of the
insurgents were killed and wounded. Two hundred men of
the Royals were dispatched from Barbadoes, under the com-
mand of Lieut.- CoL Archer, on the intelligence reaching that
island.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.—On Fri-
day, at half-past twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, attended by a single equerry, drove
to Messrs. Christy and Manson's auction-rooms,
King-street, SL James's-square, to view some very
celebrated pictures on sale this afternoon. The ar-
rival of his Royal Highness was quite unexpected.
The Prince entered the rooms almost unobserved, and
seemed= to examine several of the paintings with much
attention—the view of Florence, by Canaletti ;
" SuSannah and the Elders," by Guido ; " The
Woman taken in Adultery," by Titian ; and two pic-
tures by Teniers, seemed most particularly to attract
his Royal Highness's attention. There were several
persons in the room, who remained covered during
the,RoYal visit, and very properly kept quite away
from the. Prince. After remaining about half an hour
his Royal Highness was attended to his carriage by
-Mr. Manson.

THE LONDON AND - BIRMINGHAM AND GRAM-
JuNcrios RAILWAY COMPANlES.—Deputations from the
boards of direction of the:above railways met at Birminghan
on Wednesday last, for the purpose of arranging the difficul.
ties which have recently arisen between them, and the chair-
man of the Liverpool Stock Exchange announced on Thnrs
day, that the deputations had come to a complete. knit
amicable understanding. The immediate effect was an-in-
crease in the Value of the respective shares to the extent of.
-5/., with the prospect of a further improvement.
In 1545, when the Venetian Senate was compelled
by the public exigencies to lay a general tax on the city, the
celebrated painter, Titian, was the only person exempted'
from the impost—a noble homage to genius, which attests at
• once the liberality and the wisdom of the Government.
THE Cuora.—The wheat looks exceedingly well,
• and an average crop of both winter and spring-sown graii,
is expected. Barley and oats are said to be also in goot.

SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN.--OH Friday morning
the establishment of Mr. Thurey, of Finsbury-square, was
thrown into .a state of the. most painful excitement by dis-
covering that that gentleman had committed suicide, by
banging himself in his bed-room. It-• would appear that'
the,deceased had attempted suicide twice previously during.
the night, but, failed in consequence .of the line breaking.
This.wal4 knowt by 'letters written bYthedeceased after eastattempt' Mrs: Thuley and family are on the Continent.,
whither the deceased was about proceeding in si few lays.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The Cotton Market was rather dull at Liverpool yesterday.
In shares a limited amount of business was done and the
market closed heavily. Taken altogether, the returns rela-
tive to the receipts of the revenue are held to be satisfactory
in the mercantile circles. Indeed, for some weeks past, it was
well known that the demand for merchandise of most sorts
has been brisk. But however satisfactory the receipts
of the customs and excise, the time of the
" takings," under the head of " property-tax," is referred
to with disapprobation. Scarcely any one is there to be found
to approve of this item, and who does not express an ardent
wish that it will, at the time appointed, be erased from the
quarterly returns by the receipts of the national resources.
We have the West India steamer announced. She brings
about a million and a half of dollars, besides 31,7101. in silver
coin, and articles of value. Her accounts are dated the 24th
May, from Tampico, and the 9th June, from Vera Cruz.
About 161,000 dollars are understood to be for the Mexican
dividend account.
New Zealand papers, to Feb.! 3, state that the. production
of flax was increasing. Captain Fitzroy had visited Wel-
lington, and received the settlers very well, though, as is
said, with something ofthe "quarter deck" in his manner.
Bargains have been made to-day in Consols for next week
at 984 to 99, the dividends being then payable. For the
Account day they are 98i to 99—the market is good. Ex-
chequer Bills realise 745. to 765. premium. Bank Stock is
-worth 199 to 1, a further rise ; and India Stock,.ex dividend,
284 to 2844. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are
1028 to A ; and the Three per Cents. 998 to .1.
The Foreign Market has been very dull, but nominally
Mexican is higher, say 35a a, the news being considered
favourable. The Deferred are 151 to a. Spanish Actives
are nominally 231, and the Three per Cents. 33i to a.
Brazil Bonds are firm at 83. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. realise 601 to 61.
The Railway Shares are generally firm, and the supposed
settlement of the dispute with the Grand Junction has sent
up Birmingham to 125 and 126 premium.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY s.—There is a
decided improvement in our market, and a good inquiry for
London and Birmingham, Grand Junction, Trent Valley, and
Liverpool and Manchester, at improved prices. London and
Birmingham, Quarters, 25 ; Manchester and Leeds, 107 ;
Huddersfield and Manchester Canal and Railway, 365. 3d.
