The intelli. gence, both politically and commercially, is im- portant. The retarns of British trade show that exporta forthe month of March amounted to ten millions and a half this year against nine millions and a half in 1856. Cotton had declined slightly in Liver- pool, while breadstuffs had improved. Consols were quoted at 92] on Thursday, 30th of April. The ist of May was observed as a holiday on ‘Change. The cew Parliament of England—the fifth of Queem Victoria’s reign—met on 30th ult, when Mr. Evelyn Denison was elected Speaker of the House of Commons without opposition. Lord Palmerston’s friends were in high spirits, and all eyes were turne? toward the seats lately vacated by Messrs. Cobden and Bright, and their followers. Members were being sworn in daily, and the Queen, it was hoped, would address them in a speech from the throne oa | the 7th of this month. The Duchess of Gloucester, last surviving daughter of George IIL, died on the 30th uit., in her eighty- | second year§Mr. Macgregor, late member of Parlia. ment for Giasgow, is also dead. He was an eminent merchant, and a commercial writer, and an English diplomat of considerabie tatent. The New York packet ship Andrew Foster, of Tapscott's line, Capt. Wiiliams, formerly of the | steamer Ericason, bound from this port for Liver- | their old friend, the Czar. Bir Jas. Brooke had writ- ten a graphic narrative of the insurrectiongmd sig- nal punishment of the Chinese at Sarawak. Ac- cording to the most moderate estimate one thou- sand Chinese were billed at the various places, while all their flourishing settlements, except at Kuchin, have been destroyed. It is asserted that the Cabinet of the United States cannot preseve # neutrality in the Eastern contest; avd the English papers assert that Mr. Reed's offers of negotiation will be heard amidst the din of war which will rage in China by the time he reaches there. England asserts that should she resort to an effectual blockade of the ports of China no neutre! flag will be permitted to enter; and the French papers affect not to believe in the sincerity of our government on the subject, and say that the idea of opening up the empire of China to civilization was first broached by the government in Washington in 1856. Advices from Ceylon are dated at Colombo on the 28th of March. A correspondent writes on that day that betore the rains of the southwest monsoon set in it is evidtit that three-fourths of tho coffee crop will be shipged and off. The total exports from lst October to date are 312,182 owt. in the proportion of 199,202 plantation and 112,880 native. The pro. portions of both kinds exported during the past fortnight have been, plantation 22,330, native 6,423 —total 28,813. The Australian market is likely to offer an equally steady demand for Ceylon coffee as | for Mauritius suger. We have news from Melbourne, Australia, to the 15th of March. Tae steamship Oneida, for the safety of which fears were entertained in Eagland, had put back to King George's Sound in a diaable2 state. One hundred and twenty-eight thousand ounces of gold, valued at £512,000, had been ship- ped for England from 17th of February to the 17th of March. The Sapreme Court of Ohio have recently decided the Poindexter slave case in direct opposition to Dred Scott case. They have adjudged Henry Poin- dexter free, on the groumd that naither Ohio nor Kentadky cam demand an abrogation of the con- sitution and laws of the other; and if a Ken- tucky slave comes imto Ohio by the con- | feat of the owner, the constitutfon and laws of Ohio operate on the condition of such per- son, and effict his immediate emancipation. The constitution deelares that if a person held to service in one State escapes into another he shall be given | up. In this case Poindexter did not escape, but was cent into Ohio by his master. This case is, ‘ therefore, not covered by the constitution, and he | became entitled to the full benefit of the express prohibition of slavery in Ohio, and was to all in- tents and purposes free. The new Police Board is stated to have received informally tae accession of Police Chief Foulke, of Brocklyn. The orgenization of a means for causing a defection ot the police of New York was put into operstion yesterday, and caused much excitement aud discussion among the men. Mayor Wood holds his groucd unrofiied and undistarbed as yet. Tho details of the present state of affairs in this connec- tion will be found highly curious. popular outbreak at Louisville, attended by a terri- ble result. Four negroes were tried on a charge of murdering a family. One of them turned State's evidence, but his testimony not being sustained, the prisoners were acquitted. Thereupon the mob pro” cured cannon, demanded the culprits, and threatened to bombard the prizon. The jailor yielded to the pool, came im collision, on the night of the 28th ult., in the English channel, with the ship Tuscarora, of | abd for Philadelphia from Liverpool, and shortly | ‘after sunk. Miss Quin, the only passenger on board, | together with the officers and crew, took to the ship's boats, and were picked up and landed at Liv- -erpool. According to the statement of the mate of the Andrew Foster the Tuscarora proceeded on her way, though requested to render assistance. Some of the leading London journals advocate the *4dea of a Central American protectorate of Nica- Tagua, acd recommend that Costa Rica be constitu ‘ted the custodian of the transit route in that terri tory, as a recompense of her resistance to General Walker. Mr. Dallas had addressed a letter to Lord Ciaren don respecting the rescue, some months since, by Deal boatmen,of the crew of the Northern Belle Accompanying the letter was a pecmmlary gift and an honorary medal to each of the sailors, from the President. | Lady Franklin bas purchased a clipper for an- | other Arctic voyage, and given the command of it to | Captain M’Clintock, who has considerable expe- | aience in the aavigation of those seas.

England was preparing for a very extensive naval and military demonstration against the Emperor; and ships of war, gunbosts, transports, floating heapitals and troops were being fitted out and mustered with an alscrity snfficient, one would think, to silence all cavil on the part of ‘Lora Paimerston's opponents. It was said that the island of Formosa would be immediately seized on. France wee preparing to join her ally by sending oat several additional vessels of war and s well equipped land force of one thousand men as a first instalment. Rassia had been in actual confifct with the Chinese on two occasions lately—-once at Hong Kong and again on the Siberian frontier— and in both instances the Colestials had to fly before the forges of i & c P the preesure.

Our special Washington despatch, which we communicate to our readers this morning, will convey to them some very curious, unique, ori- ginal, yet consistent and credible news, concerning the foreign appointments which are shortly to come up in Cabinet council, in connection with Mr. Buchanan's favorite hobby and laudable ambition—the speedy and peaceable acquisition of the ever green and “ever faithful island” of Cuba. Our correspondent informs us that “ the reign- ing honse of Israel,” the Rothschilds, in eonnec- tion with Mr. Buchanan’s appointments to the principal courts of Europe, it is proposed shall be charged with the important business of ne- gotiating the purchase of Cuba upen the Ostend appraisement of ove huadred and twenty mil- Jions of dollars ($120,000,000)—that this sum shall be divided 60 as to secure the “happy ac- co:d” of all parties concerned, official and anofil- clal, in Spain, France and Eogland—that Mr. Bel- mont, of the house of the Rothschilds, ag Minister | to Madrid, shall be placed at the head of a diplo- matic Cuban league, in reference to whioh our Ministers at Paris, London, &., shall be his sub- ordinates. It will be alsoremarked that the consent of the Holy Father at Romo to the transfer of Cuba from a monarchy radically Roman Catholic, to a republic essentially Protestant, is not to be over- looked.
