HOUSE OF LORDS.—MoNDkT, APRIL 3.

Their Lordships met at two o'clock in full state cos-
tume, for the purpose of proceeding with the answer to
Her Majesty's Message, assuring her bf their faithful and
loyal support in the war against Russia. The scene was
extremely brilliant.

Abouthalf-past two their Lordships proceeded in car-
riages.to Buckingham Palace, her Rajestyhaving appointed
three o'clock to receive the address.
The House resumed at four o'clock.
The-Loup CHANCELLOR read the Queen's answer to the
address as follows :—" I thank you for your loyal and duti-
ful address. It is highly gratifying to me to receive the
assurance of your co-operation in giving effect to the
measures which I may consider necessary for the honour
of my crown and the welfare of'my people."
The EARL of ABERDEEN gave notice that, on Thursday
the 11th, he should move an adjournment of the house
until Thursday, the 27th inst.

The EARL of HARROWBY moved the second reading of
the Church Building Act Amendment Bill, the object of
which he supported in n speech of considerable length.
The intention of the measure is to enable the authorities:
named in it, to take down churches where they are not
wanted, from absence of population, and build them
elsewhere, where they are wanted. He proposed, after
the second reading of the bill, to move that it be referred
to a Select Committee.

The EARL of Fowls objected to the bill, but did not op-
pose Its reference to a Select Committee.
The Bailor of LONDON supported the bill ; it was not
of a sweeping character as anticipated ; its principal:ap-
plication would be to the city of London, but each Case
would be dealt with on its own merits, and no church
would be taken down until after the most careful enquiry.
Lord ST. LEORAILDS suggested that the churches to be
taken down should be specially named in the bill. The bill
was read a second time, and referred to a select committee.
The Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill, after much discus-
sion, passed through committee.
The house adjourned at 8. 25 p.m.

TIMBER.

LIVERPOOL—SeveraI small vessels have arrived trom
the north of Europe with mixed cargoes of sleepers, spars,
and timber, part of which are on account of the retail
merchants ; the other cargoes have not yet been offered
for sale, and the transactions in woods have been confined
to retail from the yard. No arrivals of colonial timber to
report. Two lots of deals have arrived from St. John,
N. 8., one a cargo some months on the way; both cargoes
are in course of yarding on importers' account, without
being offered for sale. The stocks in the country are
unusually small at this season of the year, and buyers
have held off till something decisive was known in reference
to the war with Russia. This being now certain, the
markets has been cleared of all the cargoes on sale at
advancing rates; and nearly one-fouth of the entire stock
has changed hands during the last week.

MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—An unvarying state of dulness and
inaction has characterised the market throughout the
whole of the week, and prices are further unfavourably
affected, and more generally reduced. The stringency of
the money market, which is a material ingredient of the
present inaction, has not been so excessive this week, but
buyers are not the less cautious, and orders are allowed
to remain on their books unexecuted, it being deemed
preferable to defer their execution, both on account of the
monetary difficulties of the present period, and from an
expectation of still lower prices.
LEEDS.—The markets this week were very dull at the
cloth halls, and the transactions out of the market have
been of the same character. ' Prices are without any
alteration, except pilot cloths, Whitneys &c., the stocks
of which are accumulating. We have had quite as many
buyers in the town as usual at this season, but they pur-
chase to so limited an extent that the transactions of the
week may be quoted at below an average.

BRADFORD.--Wool: There is the same dulness as for
some weeks past, and any sales that are made are in favour
of the buyer. Noils and brokes are not plentiful, so few
being made that they command full prices.—Yarns : The
buyers for shipping are doing very little. For the home
market there is no improvement, and the prices ruinous
to the spinner.—Pieces : There is not much doing in piece
goods, and the sales now effected are such as will not near
cover cost price.

NOTTINGHAM. Owing to the tightness of the
money market the hosiery and lace trades are more
depressed, but each may be a little improved shortly, as
the Americans, who have nothing to do with the war,
must supply their wants, and the consumption in this
country must continue, although it may be in some sort
diminished. The price of yarn, as of other things, is
unsteady.
LEICESTER.—There is no disposition to buy any goods
.except for immediate supply. Little doing in wools ; the
farmers are not pushing sales, and all are waiting to see
the effect war will have on prices.

the only Establishment in Liverpool where the proper styles
of Commercial Writing, and Ladies' Angular Running-hand
are perfectly taught. Mr. O'DWYER has made more good
writers in Liverpool for thelast 13 years than any other teacher
professing the art. As a Writing Master he is unrivalled and
unequalled in Liverpool. To persons who never wrote, a good
hand is guaranteed in Twelve Lessons.—For card of terms

HUMILIATION AND PRAYtR.

IT will be seen by the reply of the Earl of
ABERDEEN to the Earl of RODEN, in the House of
Lords on Friday, that the Government has deter-
mined to appoint a day for humiliation and prayer
to the ALMIGHTY for success to Her MAJESTY'S
arms in the approaching war with Russia. It will
be observed that the Archbishop of CANTERBURY
expressed his satisfaction at hearing the statement,
from which we may infer that his Grace, though
the nominal representative of the Church, was not
consulted on this important resolve—a neglect of,
the decent observances of propriety which we could
only expect from a ministry composed of every

shade of religious belief, even not omitting the
apologist for infidelity. We may, notwithstanding,
congratulate the country that, however ungraciously
determined on, so obvious a duty is not to be
neglected ; and that, amidst our anticipations of
victory from the prowess of our naval and military
forces, we shall not forget that the issue is in the
hands of a Higher Power than that of man, by
whose blessing we may alone hope for success
and that while the race is not always to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong, we may enter the
field of strife with the full consciousness of the
justice of our cause, and full reliance on the mercies
of that Providence who has promised His blessing
to them that ask it in spirit and in truth.

FRANCE.

The Moniker contains an official report from M.
Drouyn de Lhuys to the Emperor, in which that minister
suggests that at a period like the present, when nations
are so largely engaged in commercial transactions, it is
necessary to soften the rigours of war when they are com-
pelled to enter into it. With this view M. Drouyn de
Lhuys-states that after concerting with the Government
of Her Britannic Majesty, he submits for the approbation
of the Emperor a declaration to the effect that, wishing to
guarantee the commerce of neutral powers against useless
annoyances and obstacles, His Majesty consents for the
present to waive a portion of his rights as a belligerent
power, but that he cannot forego his right to seize contra-
band articles of war, and to prevent neutral powers from
carrying the enemy's despatches. The declaration con-
cludes by stating that the Emperor will not for the present
grant letters of marque. To these documents is appended
the word "approved," with the signature of "Napoleon."
The Moniteur states that 4,000 French troops had been
sent to Gallipoli, where they would have arrived on the
27th. Fifteen thousand troops in all have, up to the pre-
sent time, left France and Algiers, and the remainder of
the army, 50,000 strong, will be assembled in Turkey
about the Ist of May. Measures have also been taken to
reinforce this army to any extent, should circumstances
require it.
Vice-Admiral Parceval Deschenses has taken up his
command at Brest as commander of the Baltic squadron.
It was reported in Paris, on Friday, that Austria is more

for bigamy.

of Spekeland-buildings, Liverpool, charged with forging
an endorsment to a letter of credit, for £ll les. 10d., was
found guilty. Sentence deferred.
BANKRUPT REFUSING TO SURRENDER. —Francis Ro-
binson was prosecuted under the 251st section of the Bank-
ruptcy Act, for refusing to surrender to be examined from
time to time after being made a bankrupt, which is felony
under the act. The case was from Manchester. The
prisoner was, under the direction of the judge, discharged
on a point of law.

charged with robbery at Manchester, were sentenced to
four years' imprisonment.
RIOT AT PRESTON.— Dennis Woodhead and Patrick
Bennett, factory operatives,both of them youths from 19 to
20 years of age, were charged with having, at Preston, on
the 2nd inst., assembled with divers other persons to the
number of one thousand, and unlawfully disturbed the
public peace. The riot, it appeared, arose out of the in-
troduction into the town, by Messrs. Leigh, of operatives
from Cumberland and Westmoreland, and the prisoners
were apprehended on a charge of throwing stones at the
police. The jury, after twenty minutes' consultation, ac-
quitted Bennett, and found Woodhead guilty, who was
sentenced to one month's imprisonment.
The court adjourned at half-past six o'clock.

BALSAM OF ANISEED, for Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Sore Throats, &c.—This Balsam affords almost instant relief
to those suffering from the above-named causes. Coughs,
and all diseases attendant upon the Lungs, when of long
standing, become very inveterate and difficult to cure, and
not unfrequently terminate in consumption. In cases of this
kind the Balsam should be resorted to immediately, and re-
gularly continued until its effect in removing the Cough is
complete. Sold in Bottles at ls. lid.l2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each.

TIMBER.

LIVERPOOL—SeveraI small vessels have arrived from
the north of Europe with mixed cargoes of sleepers, spars,
and timber, part of which are on account of the retail
merchants ; the other cargoes have not yet been offered
for sale, and the transactions in woods have been confined
to retail from the yard. No arrivals of colonial timber to
report. Two lots of deals have arrived from St. John,
N. 8., one a cargo some months on the way; both cargoes
are in course of yarding on importers' account, without
being offered for sale. The stocks in the country are
unusually small at this season of the year, and buyers
have held off till something decisive was known in reference
to the war with Russia. This being now certain, the
markets has been cleared of all the cargoes on sale at
advancing rates, and nearly one-fouth of the entire stock
has changed hands during the last week.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

The fleet of Sir Charles Napier is again under weigh,
and there is no doubt but the first point of attack will be
the island of Aland. The on dit in the fleet affirms that
an officer high in command ventured, in a conference with
Sir Charles Napier, to argue against attacking Aland,
saying that great carnage must occur in such an attack by
ships without troops, there being about 7,000 Russian
soldiers in garrison on the island. The answer of Admiral
Napier is stated to have been very characteristic. "If you
think so, you had better go home again." The impression
in the fleet is that Aland will be the scene of their first
operations.
It is stated that the Russian squadron has left Revel,
but it is not known where they have gone. The current
opinion in Stockholm is that the Russians will not meet
'Sir C. Napier's fleet. It is added that the Russian force
of shipping is much over-rated.
All the crews of the ships go to general quarters daily,
and are practised at the great gun exercise in firing at
targets, and in ricochet firing at any small rocks or islands
they may be near.
COPENHAGEN, FRIDAY. The fleet under Admiral
Napier have anchored off the Island of Moen.

THURSDAY, MARcrr 30.

CRIMINAL LAw.—Lord CAMPBELL called attention to
the trivial cases tried upon the late circuits, and expressed
an opinion that instead of occupying the judges of the
land with them, they ought to be disposed of in petty ses-
sions. In many instances prisoners had undergone a
much longer imprisonment before trial than they could
have awarded to them after conviction.—The Lord Crux-
CELLOn said the subject deserved the most serious atten-
tion, and should be brought under the consideration of
the house the moment his noble and learned friends and
himself could concur in a remedy.
THE BLACK SEA FLEETS.—Lord MALMESBURT asked
Lord CLARENDON whether the rumours which he had
seen in the newspapers as to the proceedings of the Rus-
sians on the coast of Circassia were true, and whether the
British Fleet were still lying at Beicos, instead of impeding
the Russian operations to which he referred.—Lord
CLARENDON replied, that he knew nothing as to the
operations of the Russians on the east Coast of the Black
Sea, except what he had seen in the newspapers. A re-
cent telegraphic despatch from Constantinople stated that
10 Russian sail-of-the-line had left Sebastapol for the
north coast of the Black Sea, but by the last advices from
the fleet, which was still at Beicos Bay, it appeared that
Admiral Lyons had just returned from a cruise in which
he had not seen a single Russian ship.
WILLS.—The Lord CHANCELLOR explained his inten-
tions as to the Testamentary Bill, and intimated his desire
to withdraw the real property clauses. With respect to
the other details of the measure, he meant to modify them
and to introduce new clauses, and for this purpose he
begged to move that the bill should be committed pro
formd, and recommitted on Monday next.—After some
discussion, in which the details of the bill as it stood were
rather roughly handled, the bill was committed pro forma",
and ordered to be recommitted on Monday.
WAR TREATY.—The Earl of CLARENDON declined, in
reply to Lord MALMESBURY, to lay before the house a
copy of the convention between France, England, and
Turkey, because it had not as yet been formally signed.
Their lordships then adjourned.

FRIDAY, Mewl' 31.

The Income Tax Bill was read a first time.

DAY OF PUBLIC PRAYER.—The Earl of RODEN asked
whether it was the intention of government to advise the
Queen to set apart a day for national humiliation and
solemn prayer for the blessing of the Almighty upon her
Majesty'fs arms by sea and land.—The Earl of ABERDEEN
replied that it was the intention of government to advise
her Majesty to appoint a day for humiliation and prayer.
—The Archbishop of CANTERBURY expressed great satis-
faction at this announcement.

scheme for the subjugation of Turkey, which he
had arranged with him ten years ago, and it may
be that a similar fatality will be the result.
It appears that the Russian troops have suc-
ceeded in crossing the Danube in some force, a
proceeding which it was understood was to be the
inducement for Austria to join the Western
Powers in the declaration of hostilities against
Russia, but it is said that the Emperor still
hesitates from this straightforward course, and
shuts himself up in his pretence of impenetrable
neutrality, though later accounts state that he is
inclining more favourably to his western allies.
Prussia has, however, been pursuing a far more
dubious policy, inducing strong suspicions of its
fidelity, but the recent accident to the King, which
seems to threaten serious consequences, may
to a change to more decisive measures. It would
appear that, with the exception of England and
France, all the other powers of Europe are holding
aloof from the quarrel ; but should the war be
carried on with vigour, of which there is little
doubt with so powerful a fleet in the Baltic, it
will be impossible for any States so near as those
of the North of Europe to preserve a state of
neutrality.
