Considerable quantities of gold were again sent into the Bank to-day. One eminent bullion broker's firm his sent about 200,0004 worth of geld to the Bank for purchase this week. The demand for gold for France is still very . languid. The intelligence given in the Express of yes terday, that the exportation of corn from Turkey has been prohibited, is confirmed by telegraphic des- ' patches received by City firms. Intelligence was received In the City after seven o'clock this evening of the arrival of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company's steamer Argo, Captain Hyde, at Plymouth, this afternoon, after a ran of only 64 days from Port Phillip, which port she left on the 24th August. She rounded Cape Horn on the 17ih September, crossed the line on the 7th October, arrived at St. Vincent on the 13th, and left that port on the 15th. This is the quickest passage ever made by either steamer or sailing vessel to or from Australia. The Argo is abo the first steamer that has ever made the voyage home by way of Cape Horn. The dates brought by this vessel are about three weeks later than those brought in by the Overland Mail just tele graphed. This affords a strong argument in favour of the Panama route in preference to all others, in cluding that by Singapore. Had there been any means ot rapid transit across the Isthmus of Panama, each as will be supplied by the Panama Railway now in course of construction, several days would have been saved. It is hoped the Argo's letters will be delivered in London to-morrow morning, or some hours before those brought by the Overland Mail. The Argo left Southampton on her outward voyage on the 7th May. The period occupied in the voyage out and home, including detentions, is thus five months and 19 days. The fourth call of 104 per . share falls payable on the shares of the South American and General Steam Navigation Company on the lit December. A call of 250 francs is now due on the bondirof the Western Railway of France (loan of the 26th July last.) Land shares to-day were quiet, but well supported. With the exception of Oriental Bank shares, which declined 11., bank shares were steady. Cann Bank of London shares advanced 10e. Crystal Palace shares maintain their rally, being last quoted ' to Z prem., and the new issue, to Z prem. London Dock stock has been dealt in at 109; Australian Royal Mail Steam (81. paid), at 3/ and 31; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, at 691.

ASYLUM FOR ImoTe.—Yeeterday the annual ge neral meeting of the governors of this institution was held at the London Tavern ; Alderman Sir George Carroll, Bart, in the chair. The chairman in particular called on those present to contribute to a fund for building an ade quate establishment, as from the want of accommodation at Park House, Highgate, the managers had fund it neces sary to take a second house in the neighbourhood of Col chester, and bad not, notwithstanding the addition, suffi cient room for the requirements of the charity. The re port stated that there were at present 220 inmates in the asylum, and that the funds of the charity enabled them to increase the number to 240, by the election of 20 from • ' list of 188 candidates. These are in a measure literally in structed, and are taught basket-making, sewing, embroi dery, tailoring, shoe-making, &a. The specimens exhibited showed considerable skill in their execution, and bore ample testimony to the care and zeal of the teachers who had so far educated idiot pupils. At the conclusion of the poll the same@ of the successful candidates were declared and the proceedings terminated with a vote hanks to the ehatriann. DEATH FROM STARVATION.—On Saturday last Mr. Coroner Swann held an inquest at Arnold, over the body of John Rudin, an infant, four mouths old. The father of the deceased was a framework-knitter, who had lived apart from his wife seven months. The child was born in the Nottingham union, and about five weeks after the mother was passed to the Tewkesbury union, the place of her settlement. Hese she remained some weeks, and was then turned out, whereupon she walked and begged her way to Nottingham. She suckled the child, but al though it was a very fine one at its birth, it became thin and emaciated. The journey occupied a fortnight, and on their arrival at Arnold the child was delivered in a most deplorable condition to its grandmother, who did every thing which lay in her power to restore it, but without avail. It languished till the afternoon of the Ilth inst., and then expired. Mr. Allen, surgeon, made • post rnoriens examination of the body, from the result of which be gave it as his opinion that the child had died from want of the breast, and proper natural nourishment. Verd ict, "That the deceased died of starvation for want of proper food and nourishment, clothing, and cleanlineu, through the poverty of its mother, and not from criminal neglect." e—NottisgAans lownsal.

Mr. Okey, • near relative of the late Colonel Garwood, sad who was for many years attached to the British embassy in Pa ri s, has collected his 'spirituel@ of continental life, and put them together in the shape of • rather ingeniously _constructed lecture for the amusement 0f the public. More ambitious then Alpert Smith, who sued W get no higher than the top of Mont Blase, this geaticiana takes eight in a balloon, and travels with some pleasant companions from the Hippodrome in Paris, all the way to little Wildbad, on the confines of the Black Forest. The spectator is to imagine that the enterprising M. Petin has at last complete i his wrist ship, and in company with a French count , an Italian countess, a German baron, and Mr. Okey himself, makes his trial trip over the ground above indicated. Aaecilntes are told of mrial navigation from Bishop Wilkins to Mr. Green, de scriptive sketches are given of the various lions of Paris, and the ettractive features along the route, and • literary conversation is cleverly sustained, enriched by short read ings from French, German, and English authors. The de scription of Dumas 's play is capital, end the legend of lludach will not speedily be forgotten by those who take the trouble to go and hear it. Some good and new tourists' stories fill up the entertainment, until at teat the imaginary party alight on terra firma, and do part on their several ways after • friendly glum of kirschwasser. There is in this little entertainment a great affluence of attractive =renal, and Mr. Okey's mode of delivery indicates both the gentleman and the scholar, but • little previous training from some old professional head, and • little excision and transposition from • professional pair of scissors, would make the lecturer bring out his points better, and glee to the entertainment a more corn pact and better connected character. The pictoriel sketehes are, as the bill states, " below criticism," and it is • pity they should be so, as the subject is highly susceptible of Jessie illustration, and would, there is no doubt, with the aid of a good diorama, become as popular as any of its competitors for public favour. The lecture is accompanied on the piano by Kim Okey, a performer of high culture and capability. 1 SF lee 10 1 W *0 17 an Sal _l4 *lf I lj Ms SSE / 4 $ l l i IN MANCHESTER. The autumnal meetings of the Congregational Union of England and Wales have been holding in Manchester this week, commencing with devotional meetings in Ito,- holnae-road Chapel, and Hope Chapel, Salford. A public meeting was held in Cavendish-street Chapel on Tuesday evening, for the exposition and enforcement of congrega tional principles, and the advocacy of British misaions. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Samuel Maley, of London (who presided), the Rev. James Parsons, Mr. J. Buchanan, of Whitby, the Rev. J. Baldwin Brown, of London, the Kay. A. IL Henderson, .sr emit. the Row sum the Rev. Dr. Massie, and the Rev. Thomas James; and re solutions were passed expressive of confidence in the prin ciples of indeiendent congregationalism. and of hope for the continued and increased success of British missions. The meeting was exceedingly crowded. On Thursday even ing a public meeting was held of the friends and promoters of the English Chapel Building Society, in the Grosvenor street Chapel, Piccadilly. The meeting was addressed*, by Mr. James Kershaw, M.P. (who presided), the 1t.,. Dr. Vaughan, Rev. Mr. Frasier, of Blackburn, and other gentlemen. The Secretary of the Association read • paper. in which it was stated that the ob ject of the society was to give systematic and general action to efforts which had hitherto been local and isolated; and to extend to the whole kingdom the rent fits which hail resulted from similar organisations in London and Lancashire. The committee of management consisted of 42 well known and highly respectable individuals, the majority of whom were laymen; 31 of them residing in the principal towns and cities of the provinces, end eight in London. To secure a bona fide action of the committee as far as possible, there would be meetings four times a year, two at the same time and place as the Assemblies of the Congregational Union, and the other two in different parts of the country. No transactions, grants, or payments, were valid which were not made by this committee. Earn con tributor was at liberty to specify the particular chaps' or district to which his subscription was to he applied. It was considered that the funds of the society would he use d to much greater advantage, and the working of it would be more in harmony with the views of pastors and mem bers of churches generally, to supplement local movements, rather than by taking the first step, and incurring the entire pecuniary responsibility of the erection of soy chapel. A series of printed questions would be transmitted to applicants for aid in the erection of chapels, as to the tenure of the land, accommodation and style of building, cost, contributions already oOtained and promised, population, existing ac commodation for public worship, provisions of the trust deed, &c.; and grants would then be made according to the answers, the funds of the society, and its existing liabilities. On entering into a contract for the erection of a place of worship, the committee would be bound to make a fixed payment within a fixed time. It was proposed, if possible, to erect fifty chapels in the first five years, and it would be gratifying to the meeting to learn that between 10,0001. sad 11,0001. had already been raised, so that the society could depend on an annual income of 2,0001. for the five years. To meet all the claims upon them they would re quire an income of 10,0001. • year, which, if it could be realised, would enable them to erect one hundred chapels in the period mentioned. Twenty chapels, in various parts of the kingdom, had already applied for aid, and this had been granted to about half of them. The sessions for busi ness lasted over Tuesday, Wednesday, sal Thursl.y, and the proceedings were to conclude witn a public breaktast this (Friday) morning. MAINE LIQUOR LA IV Folt ENGLAND. On Wednesday evening a public meeting war held in the Manchester Corn Exchange to inaugurate a sew association, celled "The United Kingdom Alliance," esta blished for the purpose of endeavoring to procure the sup pression, by legislative enactment, of all traffic in apiritous liquors or intoxicating drinks.
