The latest London Times contains the following, written from Naples on the 10th instant: “To make room for the vast accumulation of fresh prisoners } made since February, it was found necessary to send numbers of the older inhabitants of the city jails to ; the islands, where there was still some vacant space.

Prussia. CLOSE OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION. The session of the Prussian Chambers was closed om the 13th inst., by the President, Baron Monteuf- fel, who congratulated them on the important mea- sures they had voted. On the whole, the budget, as passed, does not differ much from the government pian, and the Ministers of Finance had the satisfac- tion of announcing to the House that the estimated Geficits of 1852 and 1853 were already covered by the excess of receipts. Invitations to attend the Customs Conference at Berlin were about to be issued. It was supposed the Conference would not be of long duration, many of the most difficult subjects of discussion having n ly dispoeed of. Russia. WRATUER AND MARKETS. A telegraphic despatch announces that according to the assertion of the Austrian Consul at Odessa, the Russians have positively suspended their arma- ments. At Odessa no speculations were made in aris and large quantities of corn had aecumulated Southern Russia.

While the friends of the Czar Nicholas are dis- avowing, on his behalf, any contemplated aggression on Turkey, it may not be inopportune to compare what we know of recent Russien proceedings with the directions contained in the memorandum drawn up by Peter the Great for the guidance of his suc- ceesors. The following are the 10th, 11th, and 12th articles of that remarkable document:— My successors must carefully seek and maintain rela- tions with Austria, and apparently support her designs upon the sovereignty of all Germany, but sesretly awaken Pi rate over the land, and so prepare the way for its ulterior posession.

THR EASTERN QUESTION—A PACHA DBALING IN SLAVES—I1IS REMOVAL FROM OFFIGH—PROBPRCTS YOR SILK AND OPIUM. The latest accounts from Constantinople at Lon- don were to the following effect:—The Prince (Men- schikoff) wishes for a convention, which the Turks refuse, agreeing only to the granting of a firman, since they ged si only the Greeks and Catholics of their own subjects in the question. This of Prince Menschikoff’s mission may be considored as being disposed of; but much more remains. Tho pith of his demands is that in which Russia wishes to assume a protectorate over the Greek Church in the Ottoman empire—a claim which, if conceded, would, in creating a Russian empire over 10,000,000 Ottoman subjects, at once extinguish what remains of Turkish independence. Some fear that Russia will achieve a secret coup de main, similar to that of Unkiar-Skelessi, and that the ambassadors of the Great Powers will hear to their consternation that all is concluded before they have well learned what is foing forward. t is difficult, however, to eappows that the osten- tations Russian embassy will content to retire without having gained more than a firman granting to their co-religionista, in reality, no more than they have (seedy possessed for some years past in Jerusalem. Numerous letters received from Odessa in London speak of the preparations for war in thé different ports of the Black Sea as going on with the greatest activity. It is certain that the Turks are arming as well as they are able. Considerable agitation is ob- eerved amongst the Greek population of this city, in consequence of the rumors of intended massacres, and the Porte has taken certain precautionary mea- gures, avoiding, however, Ls eeeace of alarm. Shipping continued scarce in the port of Constan- tinople—9s. to 108. paid to load, and 12s. to 13s. to load in the Danube. Exchange, 111} to 113 the £ poll Locusts had appeared in seve rts of the country, which threatened the crops. The silk crop will be damaged and retarded in consequence of some late frosts. Sarim Pasha, the Governor of Trebisond, had been deprived of his post, through the representations of the Russian Consul, for conniving at the trade in Geor and Circassian slaves. Russia is opposed to this traffic, and ghcohe Age na a party of slave girls, as Russian subjects. The Pacha delivered them over to the slave traders, and hence his dis- maiseal, on remonstrance of Menschikoff. ‘ The Sultan’s mother, whose decease we have pro- vieusly announced, is represented as having been an extiemely amiable lady, and greatly beloved by her son. The immediate canse of her death was mortification of the knee, following an attack of acute rheumatism. Her age was about 50. She was originally a Circassian slave. 4 A letter from Bandeman, Sea of Marmora, says, “the favorable expectations entertained of a large crop of silk will not now be realized, as the cold weather,with a fall of snow, had caused considerable damage to the mulberry plantations. The opium crop was said to be considerably damaged from the keme cause, Freiehta ot Smyrna were f0a. 9 529, 6d. per ton Australia. LATER ADVICEA—INCREASE IN PRICE OF GOLD— IMMENSE NUGGET. | the way of Ceylon, advices had reached Eng- Jand from Melbourne, to March 3d. The advices were of a casual nature. One important fact is, how- ever, mentioned, that there had been a rapid advance in the price of gold to 77s. and in London excl to par, so that ry yO of coin from England will be checked. At Ballaret mines, a lump of gold had been found weighing 134 Ibs. 8 ounces. No accounts are given of the general state of mining, but the tone of remarks reepecting the state of trade and the preepects ef the colony indicate it to be favor- able. At Sydney, atflatest Melbourne advices, busi- ness Was active, and mowey plenty. [From the London Sua, May 17.) Anstralian advices have been brought by the over- land mail mere than a month later than those pre- viously received. They reach to the 3d of March, and are from Melbourne, whence the accounts that last arrived in England were to the 30th of January. Their contents are of a casual nature, as they had arrived only by a trading vessel (the Marian Moore) to Ceylon. One very important fact, however, i announced—namely, that there has been a rapid ad- vance inthe pnce of gold to 77s., and in the ex- change on London to par, so that shipments of coin from this que may now be expected By a wholly to terminate. revious arrival at Ceylon, Melbourne papers bad been receivedsto the 26th of February, and in these it is men- tiened that a lump of gold, exceeding in size any former diseovery, had been foand by four men about two miles from Ballarat, its weight being 154 pounds § ounces. With regard to the general pro- duction at the mines no details are given, but the tone of the remarks a the state of trade and the progress of the colony seems to indicate that it must have been very favorable. At Sydney, accord to the latest’ intelligence received at Melbourne, the date of which is not given, basi- ness was exceedingly active and money plentifal. The immigration at Melbourne had been continu ously beavy, and some cases of death from exhaus- tion and destitution are said to bave occurred. The total arrivals bad been 11,699 in December and 8.101 in January. and this pressure of population without any adequate preparation for it, appears subsequensly to have caused many to resolve gpon seeking more quiet pursuits in the adjoining colo nies, An expectation that some part of the overflow would find its way to Western Australia, whence the advices also reach to the 3d of March, is mentioned, and it is stated that in Van Diemen’s Land, even at the beginning of February, /anded property at Lawn ceston had been sold at an advance of '400 per cen upon the prices current a few weeks previously. The Melbourne steamer arrived at Melbourne on the 4th of February, and the day on which the Sarah Sands sailed appears to have been the 10th of Feb- reary. The finders of the nugget of 134 Ibs. had taken passage in her. [Frem the London Chronicle, May 17 } By the arrival of the Dadbrook at Colombo, ad- vices have been received from Melbourne to the 5th of February, Sydney, the 3d of Febreary, and from Western Australia to the 2d of March inclusive. The Inquirer of the 2d of March contains the following paragraph : A rumor has beem afloat for some days past, that there bave been some disturbances at Port Puillip, in con- tequence of which. re-emigration frem that colony has taken place, and a verse! containing from 500 wo emi grants bad artived at King Geo-ve's Sound, This report requires confirmation, and will proba- bly prove to have been greatly exaggerated. At the date of the 5th of February, gold was selling at Melbourne at 73s. $d. to 748. per ounce. A monster nugget, weighing 134 Fy tag 8 ounces, was shipped on board the Sarah Sands, which would leave for London on the 10th of the month. At Sydney trade was exceedingly brisk, and the price of colonial pro- duce high, with a large out-turn. The Melbourne Argus has taken a step which its paoprietors deem to be unexampled in the history of newspapers. With all the appliances that could be mustered in the colony, no more than 10,000 copies per day could be struck off, and as the demand ex- ceeded this number, and was constantly increasing, it was thought necessary to announce that ‘for the present, and until the arrival of new steam presses, no new subscribers were wanted!’ To the sub- ecribers already on the list the paper would be sup- plied at the old price of £2 yearly ; to all others the price was to be £4; and this was to continue till the fast printing engines were received.

Details of the Indian news, already outlined b; telegraph, are to hand—Caleutta dates to April 7, Madras 11th, Bombay 14th, and China to March 28, From Burmah the advices were from the 10th to the 23d of March, inclusive. Sir John Cheape, hay- ing gone out in search of the robber chief Meeah- n, came infront of his stronghold on the 19th. tnemy was strongly. posted, and made a deter- mined resistance for four hours. The British had eighteen killed and eighty ocr wounded. No par- ticulars of the fight had been received at Rangeon; but it was reported that the enemy's force was hemmed in, and that the chief had been killed by the bursting of a shell. A surveying 5 pasty was marking off the boundary of the annexed territory. A dopxtation from Ava was expected at Prome about the 25th of March. We are imperfectly in- formed of the state of affairs at the Burmese capital. There had again been considerable disturbances on tho northwest frontier of the Punjaub, and a force was sent out to chastise the marauders. The Babwulpore revolution was likely to be peacefully settled. The Nizam voted was in a satisfactory condition, and India generally was tranquil. There is little of general interest in the ro we have received, except stringent fegulatons issued by?the Governor-General, acting under, in- strustiens from home, to curb the press. The post- age on Indian papers is made about $30 annually, and the present rate is doubled on English news- papers—about $46 on each paper.

SUBMISSION OF SANDILLI—CLOSB OF THR WAR. The last mail brought intelligence of the is sion of the Caffire chief Kreili, and the present arri- val brings the news of peace with the more powerful Gaika chief, Sandilli. The treaty was eoncluded on the 9th March, at the Yellow Woods, seven miles from King Williams- eae and the following is the official report of the meeting : Sendilia his ron Duvdas (so named after Lieutenant Colonel Dundas, formerly Landiost of their district, and who is held in friendly remembrance by the neighboring Keffirs); Macomo and his sons—pamely, Numba, Kona, Filiha spd Quabs; Botman and his son Vandalla, Tol, (a T’Slambie chief, who went ever from Um- and joined the war party) Dota (brother of Steck, ‘as not present.) Fach chief was attended by his Amepakati, or councillors. On the part of the Governor an address was read to the chiefs by the interpreter. His excellency adced that, if the chiefs wished to say anything, be was ready te hear them. |AcOMO replied:— We have but one word to ray and to thank. We thank the Governor for taking us out of the bush and giving us a place to lire in. When a chief errs heis punished and forgiven. The young man (Sandilli) erred and has been punished, and is now forgiven: butthe country you have given him is toosmall. Toise, whofor- merly cecupied it, bad but a small tribe; Sandilli has « large ene, which will not find room ther }OVERNOR—These aro wos you should have thought of before you went to war.

At the conclusion of the meeting, and after the Governor had left, the chiefs and their people greet- ed Colonel Maclean, their new chief commissioner, with great cordiality. There are no later accounts from the frontier. Important from South America. On the 17th, the West India mail steamship Se- vern arrived at Southampton, with dates from Bue- nos Ayres, April 3; Montevideo, 6th; Rio de Janeiro, 14th; Pernambuco; 22d. Buenos Ayrean letters ttated that all hopes of a pacific settlement between Urquizay and the city had vanished, and both par- ties were about to resume hostilities; the Buenos fe ibe taxing Urquiza with having pro the late negotiations merely to gain time. was not known whether Urquiza would continue his efforts against the capital, or ravage the provinces. At Buenos Ayres all business was at a stand; ware- houses full of goods and no demand. Sir Charles Hotham, English Envoy, had arrived at Buenos Ayres, in British steamer Locust, the bearer of a treaty of commerce and navigation with Paraguay. Rumors of a change of government were rife at Montevideo. At Rio Janeiro a change of Ministry was expected. Coffee had been very active, and transactions would have been extensive but from scarcity of shipping. Sales of the month, 175,000 bags.

Foreign Miscellany. The Turin commission, charged to report upon the law for a loan of 400,000 francs to the proprietors whose property has been mavens ed, by Austria, have unanimously reeommended its adoption. The London Court Journal states that the idea of & museum of patented inventions—one of the sugges- tions thrown out during the great year of industrial agitation—appears to be taking a firm hold on the ublic mind. Manchester and Bradford have taken iA up with zeal, so have Sheflield and Glasgow.

The hereditary Prince of Saxe Altenburg, a near relative of the Queen of Hanover, is on the eve of forming a matrimonial alliance with the Princess of Apvhault Dessau.

During the five years ending the 5th of January last, the number of vessels wrecked or lost on the coast of Irelard was 447. In 1848 the number was 98; in 1849, 89; in 1850, 107; in 1851, 56; and in 1852, 102. The Doted Fruit Trade. ereens. Wrrnkkuy & MANSON'S CIRCULAR, MAY 7, CURRANTS.

MONEY MARKET. Sunpay, May 20—6 P. M. During the past week the stock market has been com- paratively quiet; prices current at the close yesterday, do not show much variation, and the ruling rates yester- éey show @ pretty steady market. The fluctuations, with one or two exceptions, have been quite moderate, and so far as the nature and extent of transactions are eoneerned, there is nothing new. There isa great want of outside operators; fancy stocks are all held in the street, and holders canuot get rid of them; confidence is all gone, and it will take slong timo to restore it, The gradual improvement in the money{market appears,not to have the desired effect on speculators—it seems to operate quite to the contrary. An easy money market generally creates s dull, depressed state of things in fancy stocks, and holders usually find it more dificult to get rid of such stocks, when money is cheap and plenty, than at other times. There may be occasionally an active upward movement in some particular fancy; but itis utterly out of the question to get up anything general in the way of an oxpanaivn of priees. Even in these isolated cases, the improvement cannot be otherwise than of » temporary character. We look for a heary market for many weeks. ‘The exportation of specie last week was much less then anticipated. The Baltie took out s small amoant.
