THURSDAY, APRIL O.

THE BLACK SEA.—The Earl of MALMESBURY asked
whether there was any truth in the report that the Rus-
sian fleet had left Sebastopol, and landed a number of
troops at the mouth of the Danube. Nothing could be
more mortifying than the inactivity of our fleet in Beicos
Bay under such circumstances, when it might easily have
intercepted the Russian reinforcements.—The Earl of
CLARENDON replied that he had reason to believe that the
Russian fleet had not quitted Sebastopol at all. The story
of its having been seen at sea was found, on investigation,
to be unworthy of credit. The port of Sebastopol had
been carefully watched, and certainly so late as the 22nd
ult., when it was reconnoitred by an English steamer, the
Russian fleet was still there. On the 24th, the whole of
the combined fleets left Beicos Bay for Varna, and the
latest despatches of Admiral Dundas expressed his entire
disbelief of the report that the Russians had quitted Se-
bastopol.
The Arbitration Law Amendment Bill was read a second
time on the motion of Lord BROUGHAM.
SCOTCH CLAIMS.—The Earl of EGLINTOUN moved an
address to the Queen, founded on a petition from the Na-
tional Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights,
and, in an elaborate speech, advocated the redress of the
grievances under which the petitioners alleged that Scot-
land now laboured.—The Earl of ABERDEEN opposed the
motion, both as a minister and a Scotchman, and, after a
discussion, in which the Duke of ARGYLL and Lord Reif-
f unE took part, the motion was withdrawn.
Their lordships adjourned at ten minutes past eight.

PRUSSIA.

Piinoe George of Mecklenburg-Strelitz arrived at Berlin
on Sunday week, bearing a letter from the Emperor of
Russia to the King of Prussia, in answer to the mission
of General Lindheim. It is said that Prussia gives impli-
cit adherence to the propositions contained in this reply,
and that Austria is likely to approve of them.

The New Prussian Gazette thus describes the nature
of the Russian concession.—The Czar offers to conclude
peace, and to evacuate the Danubian Principalities, if the
rights which the Christian subjects of the Porte have re-
cently obtained through the intervention of France and
England are guaranteed by treaties ; and, if, in addition,
the fleets of the Western Powers abandon the Black Sea
and the Bosphorous. If this nature of guarantee is ac-
cepted by the Western Powers and by the Porte, the Em-
peror of Russia declares himself ready to allow the rest to
be settled by the means of negociation in a Congress,
which might, for instance, be held at Berlin.

WooL.—The market has been very inactive
since our public sales, and the prices of the few
transactions which have transpired have been
much the same. There is no particular: press on
the market yet ; and, in the absence of which, we do
not expect to see prices much lower—in fact,
there seems to be an opinion prevalent, that prices
have seen their lowest point—in such case we may
expect to see some activity shortly. Imports for the
week, 561 bales, viz.: 373

PRODUCE.—The markets generally have been
dull, with little business doing in Sugar, Tea,
Rice, Coffee, &e., but without any change in prices.
For Saltpetre there has been an improved demand,
at a considerable advance in prices. Palm Oil and
Tallow have been rather lower. TO-DAY the Sugar
market continued in a very inactive state, and, in-
cluding Saturday's business, the sales were confined
to 1,500 bags Bengal, to the grocers, chiefly mid-
dling white Benares, at 375. 6d. to 385., including
a few Dates, at 348. 6d. to 355. 6d. per cwt. There
is nothing to report in Molasses, Rum, or Coffee.
The Tea market continues to show symptoms of
improvement, and quotations for common Congou
rule from about 111 d. to lltd. per lb. ; there is a
better feeling in the medium kinds also. The
business in Rice is confined to 350 bags Madras, at
9d. per cwt. 50 tons St. Domingo Logwoood
have been sold at £6 ; 50 bales Sunn Hemp, at
£3O per ton ; and 30 cases Castor Oil, at Md. per lb.

LIVERPOOL TOWN DUES.

HER MAJESTY'S Commissioners will hold a public
meeting to-morrow (Wednesday), in St. George's Hall,
"for the purpose of enquiring into all charges, other than
custom duties and the like, which are levied or leviable in
any of the ports or
.harbours •a the United Kingdom, by
any person or persons, body corporate or local authority,
upon ships, or upon goods carried in ships, whether in the
nature of passing tolls or otherwise, and to report upon
the nature and amount of such charges; the title or
authority in law under which the same are levied; the
application of the same, and whether, and how far they are
applied to any purpose from which the person paying the
same derives any benefit ; also upon the exemption, if any,
of any particular persons, or classes of persons, from any
of sucl- "Barges." The men of Manchester have lately dis-
cove A, new grievance in having to pay the town dues
of Drarpool, for such of their goods as have the advantage
of the port, and their Town-clerk is instructed to use all
his eloquence, to persuade the Commissioners that this is
au injustice to which they ought not to be subject. The
real grievance, however, is that the Borough has a mag-
nificent corporation estate, and the inhabitants are lightly
taxed ; while the new made City has very little property,
its affairs are-indifferently managed, and the inhabitants
are heavily rated. They would not derive any advantage,
however, if the dues were taken off, as the only gainers
would be a few of the large merchants and shippers.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL O.

Lord ADOLPITITS VANE, who was introduced by Mr. H.
T. Liddell and Mr. Mowbray, took the oaths and his seat
for North Durham, in the room of Lord Seaham, who (by
the death of the late Marquis of Londonderry) has suc-
ceeded to the House of Peers by the title of Earl Vane.
Petitions were presented by Mr. Liddell, from the select
vestry of Liverpool, against the non-removal of Irish and
Scotch poor, and by Mr. HORSFALL, from Liverpool, in fa-
vour of the Public Libraries and Museums Bill.
PUBLIC LIBRARIES.—The motion for the second read-
ing of the Public Libraries and Museums Bill elicited a
lengthened discussion, and was negatived by a majority of
90 to 87.

COUNTY COI:MTS.—On the motion for the second read-
ing of the County Court Extension Act Amendment Bill
(brought from the House of Lords), Mr. FITZROY suggested
that the alterations made in the character of the county
courts, and the extension of their jurisdiction, were likely,
if continued, to impede their action in respect to the ob-
jects for which they were established, and that it would be
necessary to establish other courts to carry out the original
purposes of the county courts. The bill was read a second
time.

BEQUESTS.-Mr. WHITESIDE moved the
second reading of the Property Disposal Bill. , A discus-
sion ensued, in the course of which the approach of six
o'clock caused the adjournment of the debate.

AUSTRIA.

The Archduke Albert has left Vienna for Semlin, as
commander-in-chief of the army of observation on the
Turkish frontier. The army on the frontier, including
the inhabitants who perform a permanent service; is not
'less than 120,000 to 150,000 men. Stores are being col-
lected on a large scale.
People at Vienna talk of a convention of the Great
Towers, the objects of which are to guarantee the integrity
,of Turkey and the rights of the Christians; to make the

under a European Protectorate ; and to revise the treaties
',between Russia and Turkey.
A prominent member of the French Cabinet is reported
to have expressed his belief, as a reason for Austria's not
laving taken a hostile attitude against Russia, that she
has only been awaiting the arrival of the allied forces on
Turkish ground, in order that she might not be left alone
to oppose Russia.

Conference of the Four Great Powers has recommenced

FRIDAY, APRIL 7.

AMATEUR DIPLOMATISTS,—Lord CAMPBELL laid on
the table a bill to prevent any unauthorised negotiations
or intercourse touching public affairs between the subjects
of Her Majesty and persons of State. He said the object
of the measure was to enforce the.law of nations, by which
it was provided that any intercourse between individual
nations, respecting public affairs, should only be conducted
by the governments of those countries, or their ambassa-
dors or ministers, duly authorised and responsible for the
advice they might give.
DAY or PRAYER.—Iu answer to a question, the Earl of
ABERDEEN stated that Wednesday, the 26th inst., had
been appointed for a day of prayer and humiliation on
account of the war.

THE WAIL—Earl GREY made a long speech, and moved
for copies of any correspondence between the different
departments of Her Majesty's Government with respect to
any additions which had been made to the department of
the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, and also
with regard to any changes which have been made in the
transaction of business relating to the administration of
the army.—The Duke of NEWCASTLE consented to pro-
duce the papers, but defended the existing ;system of ma-
nagement. —Lord HARDINGE, without discussing the pro-
priety of the changes recommended, assured the house
that, during his experience, he had never felt any incon-
venience from the existing system.—The Earl of ELLEN-
BOROUGH said the house would have to consider, after
Easter, the whole question of our military preparations for
the present war. The military power of the country
should be subordinate to the civil authority, but he was
averse to the establishment of a board, as destructive to the
feelings of individual responsibility if practised.—Lord
PANuERE thought the departments of the army, the navy,
and the ordnance, should be united gradually under one
head.—Earl GREY then replied, and the motion was
agreed to.—Their lordships adjourned at ten o'clock.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.

A meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held
this day in the' Sessions-house, Chapel-street, convened by
his. worship the Mayor, to concert measures for the recep-
tion of the British Association for the Advancement of
science at its meeting in Liverpool in September next.
The chair was occupied by J. Buck Lloyd, Esq., Mayor,
and the meeting was numerously attended by the
resident literati ; and Professor Phillips was present on
behalf of the association. The last named gentleman
explained the objects of the association, and the mode in
Which its operations were carried on, and alluded in
terms of high eulogy to the noble hall, which the Cor-
Poration had intimated its intention of placing at the
service of the Association at its meeting here. He glanced
also at the great commercial importance of Liverpool,
as a resting point on the great highway between Bri-
tain and the United States. In conclusion, he moved
a vote of thanks to the Mayor and Corporation, for their
handsome and liberal co-operation promoting the ob-
jects of the forthcoming meeting. The motion was
carried by acclamation ; and the compliment was
gracefully acknowledged by the chairman, for himself
and on behalf of the Corporation. Votes of thanks were
then passed to Professor Phillips, and to his worship the
Mayor for his conduct in the chair, after which the meet-
ing separated.

EXTENSION O.F COMMERCE.

--1-Visnx independence of.foreign aid in the supply
of raw material for our manufactures forms an
I portant feature in the extension of our commerce,the
British-possessions at the Cape of Good Hope offer
facilities.of which no sufficient advantage has yet
been,taken. It was asserted some time since that
the settlement at Port Natal was a favourable
locality for the cultivation of cotton, but, some
attempts having been unsuccessful, it was for a
time abandoned. Since then, however, it has been
stated that other attempts to grow cotton have
turned out more favourable, and there seems no
reasonable doubt that, if the requisite skill were
exercised, it might prove a valuable auxiliary to
our other sources of supply for this impo'rtant
article. Indeed, now that the war with the Kafirs
May be considered at an end, and the colony placed
on a footing of security for the exercise of the arts
of peace, its advantages of soil and climate might
be made available for very large additions to com-
mercial operations. There are hundreds who leave
our shores to settle in other countries, tempted by
descriptions of the benefits to be enjoyed, to whom
the advantages to be gained by a settlement in
Southern Africa have never yet been unfolded ;
and it is a matter of some consequence, when so
many forsake the protection of the British Govern-
ment for the Republican institutions of the United
States, that emigration may be encouraged where
we shall at least secure customers for our future
exports. Commerce is necessarily based on each
party having desirable surplus products which they
may exchange, and this advantage may be amply
secured in the several settlements at the Cape, the
resources of which have never been sufficiently
developed. Wine has been produced, but with so
little regard for quality, that it has become a bye-
word for inferiority ; but those well acquainted
with the colony have declared that with proper
care it may be grown of first-rate excellence, and,
as it lies on the high way to our East• India and
Australian possessions, its geographical position is
peculiarly favourable for carrying on a very exten-
sive trade. Some progress has been made in the
establishment of steam communication, but much
more remains. The public, and particularly that
class which form the bulk of our emigrants, should
be made acquainted with the peculiar advantages
