The supreme government of the republic, hav- ing received information of circumstances, de. spatehed one of their men of war to Porto Plata, and conveyed the Ceres to the city of Santo Domingo, where the master and his crew were arraigned before the Su preme Court, and found guilty of having been engaget in the traffic of slaves, declared piracy by the laws of the republic, The captain, who calls himself Tomassini, has been sentenced, with his mate and pilot, to two years prison, and the rest of the crew to ene year.

Senor Jove Maria Pando plays a part in this drama which is not to be envied.

A commercial treaty between the Ki the Don inician republic has been ratified and exchanged, and is now the law. tionable Pacific Declaration of the Merchants and Bankers of London Towards France. (From the London Daily News of March 24 } Anvexed is a copy of a ‘‘ declaration’ bearing upon the | international relations between France and England, which has daring the last few days been extensively signed in nearly every part of the city. The s embrace the names of the lord mayor, several of t resentatives of the city of Londen in Parliame Governor of the Bank of Faglana many of the lead. ing bankers, merchants, and brokers; so that the docu- ment may be regarded ds ene invested, with peeuliar sig. nificance, from the strong testimony which it bears to the friendly feeling existing in the minds of the mercantile classes of this country towards the French nation at large. We find, however, that the allusion to the tone adopted by the press ia relation to French mattersis very variously construed by the subscribers to this friendly declaration, and that many men, equally remarkable for their eminent position and consistency of character, have objected to join in it on account of the slur upon the press which appears to be embodied inthe phrase in question. The journals which denounced Louis Napoleon did so on the ground that he had betrayed the nation which had trusted him. No Kuglish journal has ever ut- tered a word against the people of France. They are our neighbors and our brothers in civilization and commerce, and the English newspapers, when denouneing the hero of the coup d'état, expressed warm sympathy with the | French nation. DECLARATION OF TRADERS AND OTILERS, OF LONDON. We, the undersigned, merchants, bankers, traders, and others, of London, feel ourselves called upon, at’ this time, publicly to express the concern with which we learn, through various channels of information, that aa impression existe in the minds of the people of France, that feelings of an unfriendly character are entertained towards them by the people of England. We think itright emphatically to declare, that we believe no such feelings exist on the part of the’ English people towards the peo- e of France. We believe the welfare of both nations to closely interwoven, as well ins mutually advanta- THR MERCHANTS, BANKERS, geousand extending commercial intercourse, as in a | common participation in ail the improvements of art and science. Rejoicing in the retiection that nearly forty ‘years have passed since the final cessation of hostilities between France and England, we record our conviction that European wars sliould be remembered only to be de- plored, for the sacrifice of life and treasure with which they were attended—the hindrances thty interposed to all useful enterprise and social advancement—the angry and unchristian feelings which they evoked in their pro- gress—and the heavy financial burdens which they left siderations which supply the most powerful motives to every individual in the Ku- ropean community, to avoid, and to oppose, by every means in his power, whatever may tend to cause the re- currence of such evils. We desire to remark that if in | that expression of opinion on public questions, which the press of this country is nceustomed to exercise, it is found occasionally to speak with apparent harshness of , the government or the institutions of other States, the same is not to be understoo # spirit of national hos- tility, or as desiring to give offence. We feel that with the internal policy or mode of government which the French nation may think good to adopt for itself, it is not for British subjects to interfere, further than hear ly to desire that it may result in peace and happiness to interested therein. Weconelude this declaration by proclaiming our earnest desire for the long continuance of cordiality and good will between Frenchmen and Eng: lishmen—our determination too all in our power to me—and our fervent hope that the inhabi- tants of both nations may, in futnre, only vie with each other incultivating the arts of peace, and in extending the on of secial improvement for their commou benefit. Hotel Accommodation in Engl (From the London Times, March 25. To our judgment the whole chapter of hotel prices in England is one which imperatively requires reform: “Mr. ulay, in describing the condition of England in the year 1685. sets forth with no small degree of unetion the comforts of an English inn in those days.

Quotations for stocks current at the close of the market yesterday, compared with those roling at the close of the previous week, show, on the whole, ‘pirits, British, , southern £160, | adecline. The market was generally lower. Within the past day or two there has been an wpward move ment, and prices closed yesterday better than they opened on Monday last. We have been rather suspicious of this improvement, and have considered it of a temporary, artificial character, entirely. We could see no good reason for the advance, and therefore look upon it as one of those spasmodic efforts of holders so frequently made during a dull, heavy market, The slight let up in the money mar. ket towards the close of the week may have been the principal cause of the improvement in fancy stocks, but it was hardly sufficient to warrant such a sudden and decided movement. It has, however been about as shortlived as we anticipated. We should not be surprised to see nearly all the fancies lower this week than they have been at any time within the past month. ‘There is n0 support were bought tation Ceylon have | , &e —The demand for gutta percha continues, | Bimas sapan wood at £12 10s a £15; 1,200'tons | and 73 bags Ceylon | ‘Lin: ced and rape are both difficult of sale at our | xes Havana (No. 9 to 1), at 238.

The brokers are loaded down with fancy stocks of all kinds, and there is no de- mand for them beyond their own circle. So long as this state of things lasts, any permanent improve- ment in prices is entirely out of the question. ‘The exportation of specie from this port last week, and for the year, up to April 9th, inclusive, has been as annexed:— SHIPMENTS OF SPECIE FROM THE PoRT or New York.

It was later than this last year when the heaviest ship- ments of the season commenced, and continued large throughout. It is our impression that a similar movement will soon commence for this year. In April, 1852,the exportation of specie amounted to only $200,266, in May it was nearly two millions, and in June upwards of three millions. It would be very extraordinary if large shipments of the precious metals were withheld mach longer. Four hundred shares of the stock of the North Carolina Copper Company will be offered for sale at auction, by Mr.S. Draper, on Monday, at the Mer- chants’ Exchange, at 12 o'clock. The Supreme Court of Connecticut have placed the limitation at six months from the 21st March for the presentation of claims against the Woodbury Bank, which recently failed. The claims must be furnished to Edward A. Phelps, of Colebrook, Thomas Bull, of Woodbury, or George C. Woodruff, of Litch- field. The amount of coal sent from the Cumberland coal region for the week ending April 2d was, by railroad 5,406 tons, by canal 4,204 tons—total for the week 9,610 tons; against 9,995 tons the week pre- | vious, showing a falling off of 385 tons for the week. For the year by railroad 61,517 tons, by canal 21,929 tons—total for the year 83,446. The lack of cars for transportation by railroad still continues: and probably will throughout the season. The canal is in good boating order, and the returns of the | week show a small increase of business. The Cumberland Miner's Journal of the 7th inst. says: tered a railroad from Paddytown, on the Baltimore and Ohio road, to Strasburg, on the Manassas Gap road. This road will connect with the George’s Creek road, giving the coal of the Westernport dis- trict an outlet to tidewater at Alexandria, with | about fifty miles less railroad transportation than by the Baltimore and Ohio road. This new road is of the highest importance to the coal interests of that district, as affording a cheap transportation for the | valuable coal which underlies it. Transportation is so important an element in the cost of marketing | eoal that a small saving per ton in the aggregate produces great results. The capital stock of the Manassas Coalfield Railroad Company is $3,000,000, | and they are authorized to borrow money to the ex- tent of one-half this amount. The road will, in fact, be an extension of the Manassas Gap road to the Cumberland coal region at and near Westernport. ‘The parties interested in this project are, also, to a considerable extent, interested in the Parker Vein Coal Compang. A corps of engineers are already on the ground.” The number of canal boats towed from Havre de Grace to Philadelphia and Baltimore in each of the past four years has Leen as follows :— Philaddphia. Baltimore. 26 1,560 1,646 2047 2/412 It appears by this that the trade to Baltimore through the tidewater canal increases yearly. A Russian official document just issued gives the following interesting statistics of the coinage and | currency of that empire :— From 1826 to 1851, the total value of the gold and silver mined in the country was 286,769,000 silver rubles, the ruble being about 75 cents. During the same time there was imported the amount of 189,295,000 rubles, while | only 48,350,000 were exported; this leaves a total of the precious metal introduced into the country and remain- ing there of 426,714,000 of which 426,625,000 have been sent to the mint at St. Petersburg. Of this aum 340,000, 000 rubles have been coined for cireulation, 1,707,000 deen converted inte medals, and 39,462,000 into’ ingots. But this docs not give the total of the money in eircula- tion, We must add to the amount given above as coined the amount in circulation prior to 1826. From 1664 to 1762, there were coined 2,445,000 rubles in gold and 90,135,000 in silver, a total of 92,680,000, all of which has since been withdrawn from circulation. ' During the reign of Catharine IL, from 1762 to 1796, 15 in gold and 70,941,000 in silver; total 86,879,000. Under Paul, from 1796 to 1801, 2,169,000 in gold and 10,018,000 | im silver, or in all 12,187,000; of these two reigns the gold coinage has been alinost entirely withdrawn from circu- lation because the coins were intrinsically worth more | than their nominal value. Of the silver about one-third, or | 27,000,000-rubles, remain in circulation. During the reign of Alexander, from1801 to 1826, 43,146,000 rubles were coin- ed in gold and 110,264.000 ia silver, giving a total of 153,416,000, About 11,000,000 of the gold and 37,000,000 of the silver of this reign remain in circulation. ' During | the reign of the present Em} Nicholas, about one- | third of the gold coined, or 75,000,000, and one-sixth of the silver, or 14,000,000, has been withdrawn. The grand result arrived at is, that there is at perrent in circulation within the empire ’no less than 340 millions of rubles, minus the 100 millions deposited as security at the bank, which leaves 240 millions, ¢r about 180 million dollars. ‘The Suffolk Insurance Company, Boston, has madea semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent. ; the National Insu- rance Company, a semi-annual dividend of 6 per cent. The anthracite coal trade is gradually increasing. The Reading Railroad Company brought down, for the week endiag on Thursday, 24,195 tons, and for the year, 352,661 tons, which is some 40,000 leas than last year to the same time. The Schuylkill Navigation Company brought down, for the week, 16,256 tons, andfor the season, 47,630 tons—2,261 tons less than tothe same | time last year. The Board of Directors of the Mechanics’ Bank, of Au- gusta, Georgia, have declared a dividend of six dollars | per share out of the profits of the past six months; and the Bank of Brunswick, Georgia, five dollars per share. The Poard of Directors of the San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railroad Company some time ago appointed a com: | tittee to oxamine and report on the proporals of inte- rested parties in towns and town sites deemed suitable for the terminus of the road on the Gulf coast. The com mittee have reported, after reful examination of all the facts submitted, and aa investigation of the benefits, present or prospective, likely to accrue to the company, in favor of the settlement on the northeastern end of Ma- tegorda, or St. Joreph’s Island, known as Saluria, as the most suitable point for the terminus. The committee, in their report, say of this point that ‘the greater depth of water, and superior advantages, as a sheltered harbor for of every class, in all seasons, give it claims supe- rior to all other points on Matagorda Bay, and entitle it to be considered, at no distamt day, the emporium of Western Texan." The one hundsed shares of Market Bank sold at auc- tion yerierday, brought 10754, instead of 101%¢, as re- ported. The receipts of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Company, for the month of March, 1853, amounted to $51,670 02, against $15,740 24 for the same month in 1862, showing an increase of $15,929 77 this year. ‘Ibe Superintendent of the Banking Department has given notice that the bonds and mortgages deposited by the Farmers’ Bank of Onondaga County, as seeurity for its circulating notes, will be offered at public rale, at the eapitol in Albany, at noon of the 20th inst. The mort- gages are thirteen in number, all on lands in the town of Holland, Brie county. ‘The earnings of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad Company in March, 1853, were $38,743 68; corresponding period inst year, $17,031 7$—increase in March, 1853, $21,711 93;—receipts for first quarter of 1863, $96,133 72; same timo in 1852, $37,763 34—increase first three months of 1853, $58,570 38. ‘The receipts of the Southern Michigan and North- ern Indiana Railroads for the month of March, 1853, | amounted to $86,866 50. The total earnings for the first three mouths of the present year amounted to $195,600 50, of which $142,934 50 wasfrom passen- gers and mails, and $52,566 from freight. ‘The prospectus of the Feather River Land and | pine and oal “The Legislature of Virginia has char- | 938,000 were coined | Gold Mining Company has attracted # good deal of attention, and there is very little doubt but that the twenty-five thousand shares reserved for this market will be taken as soon as offered. For the purpose of giving those contemplating an interest in this com” pany all the information that can be obtained, from reliable sources, we annex extracts from the survey of the estate made by Nicholas Grey, Esq., under orders from the government of the United States, ‘The survey gives a description of each lot.
