THE WAR IN AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF WASHINGTON. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company's screw steamer City of Washington, Capt. Mirehouse, which sailed from New York on the 18th, and Cape Race on the 22d inst., arrived in the Mersey about one o'clock this afternoon, via Queenstown, where she called to land mails and passengers. A telegraph summary of her news has already been published. The New York limes of the 18th gives the fol lowing resume of the state of affairs in general on that day : Our advices from the army of the Potomac this morning indicate unmistakeably that Gen. M'Clellan is again about to measure strength with the rebel hosts under Lee. There appears to be no doubt that the latter intends to give battle at or near their pre sent location, which is now well known to our gene rals through the reconnaissances recently made. Simultaneously with the movement of Gen. Han cock's division to Charlestown on Thursday, an other movement was made across the Potomac at Shepherdstown Ford by Gen. Woodbury's division, which took the road leading to Smithfield, a small village half-way between Charlestown and Bunker's Hill. This division encamped on Thursday night between Leetown and Kearneysville, having met with but slight resistance during the advance.es terday mornin g th e cava l r y a tt ac hed to the division advanced towards S m ithfi e ld, and formed a junction with Hancock's ca va l r y, having meantime disco vered the enemy i n ver y heavy force. The object of the reconnaissance was thus attained without loss. To-day may bring us news of another great battle. " Official dispatches, received in Louisville from Nashville, state that the rebels were in large force near the latter city on the 11th inst., and that they sent a flag of truce demanding a surrender. This modest demand General Nag ley declined to accede to, as he had a national force ample for defence. g , Within the last two or thrse days the rebels have run two trains of cars from the other side of the Rappahannock to Bristow. They selected their opportunities immediately after Union recon noitring parties had passed through and about the intervening country. These trains doubtless carried tattle and horses for the use of Lee's army, which could be rapidly driven up from Bristow, through Thoroughfare Gap and Front Royal to Lee's posi tion. " The subjoined letter from the staff of General Terrill, who was killed at the battle of Perryville, will correct newspaper accounts The papers are in error in regard to Bragg attach ing M'Cook. It was the combined forces of Hardee and Polk, or two of the rebel army divisions against one of ours. The rebels are in retreat toward Harrodsburg for the purpose of forming a junction with Kirby Smith and cutting off General Sill, who has the flower of the Western army. Our army fought after being two days without adequate supplies of water or provisions, and all of them green troops never before in action ; nevertheless, they withstood the combined attack, and were able to follow the re treating rebels 20 hours afterwards." The Washington correspondent of the Philadel pizza North Amerwa n hears that the naval expeditions that have been in progress at several points for a number of weeks past are now ready, and will sail for their destination as soon as the troops for land service are ready to accompany them. When this will be, however, is not at present known, though possibly a month hence will find every thing in perfect readiness fcr a repetition of the splendid achievements at New Orleans and Port Royal. Admiral Dupont, who is now in New York, will leave for Port Royal in a few days. Head-quarters in St. Louis have received dis patches to the following purport :—" Papers and dispatches as late as the 6th inst. have been received by Gen. Combs from Little Rock, Arkansas. Hind man was then at Duval's Bluffs. Parsons. was re presented as moving towards North Missouri, and seeking to unite his forces with Stearn and M'Bride at Pocahontas. The rebel commander Holmes was at Little Rock. Gen. Schofield had arrived at Cass vine, in Barry County, near the Arkansas line South-Western Missouri is once more cleared of rebel forces, and the telegraphic communication is complete to Cassville. Two divisions of the army are left at Helena, under Gen. Carr. Gen. Curtis has issued an order which reads thus—' The com bined forces of Missouri and Kansas, as an army in the field, now commanded by Brigadier-Gen. J. M. Schofield, will be denominated the army of the frontier.'" The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes as follows Gen. Prentiss, who has just been released by the Confederates, and arrived here, had the compliment of a serenade this even ing at Willard's. He spoke to a large and enthu siastic audience, detailing the incidents of his cap ture and imprisonment. His description of the in sults endured and the hardships sustained was graphic and powerful. In the course of his narra tive he had occasion to speak of the negroes, who, he said, were the best Union men of the South,w hen a voice exclaimed, We are fighting for the negro.' Yes, sir,' replied the general, I fight for the free dom of every man on earth.' He spoke of the cruelty with which Federal officers and soldiers were treated, and of the reign of terror existing throughout the South. They were determined to fight it out, and they did fight desperately, because they knew their cause was desperate. No one dared to express any love for the Union at the South, and there was more real slavery there now over the whites than there ever was over the blacks. There are more men, too, in the Southern army than people of the North think for. Now is the time to strike, for their army is somewhat demo ralised. He saw thousands of men were going home on parole, and at the battle of Antietam the rebels were punished a great deal more severely than was generally thought. He saw train after train of their wounded ; and Union prisoners, if they did not rejoice at the misfortunes of their ene mies, cheered lustily for the success of the Union arms . He also remarked that President Lincoln's proclamation had done more to end the rebellion than all the battles that had been fought, or any thing else that has been done. He would take the field again at any moment he was ordered by his commanding general. He would obey orders; but let him once get 24 hours ahead of orders in Georgia and he would do everything in his power to crush out this hellish rebellion. The general's speech was received with immense applause. " The Government is preparing a remonstrance addressed to the rebel military authorities on the subject of their infamous treatment of our prisoners of war. It is said that the speech made here to n'ght by General Prentiss receives the sanction of Governmentth. as to some extent an indication of th e e v 'vs it intends to u Il e _ n ge. nithouugh the here concur in believing that recent elections in that state indicate a D,m eerat , yet t ic ha m t ajority in one branch of the legis lature,liean United 54.11.1)°n a joint ballot a Union-Repub e The 1 steXteets senator will be chosen. returns from Ohio show a gain far the D er L eti `' n ties.

The Secretary of War had informed G overnor Yates, of Illinoi s, that it is definitel y settled th at there will be no drafting in that state. A -Washington telegram says : "An impression prevails here that there is som e truth in the rumour that in Maryland the rebel general Lee forwarded to this government overtures for peace, which leading Southern men believed by the Federal be accepted. If such a propositio was made there was no doubt that Federal Government. it has been declined " A correspondent of the Savanntzh RePub lic " n, alluding to a previous statement that Gen. Lee had 1 while in Maryland, transmitted to the Federal Go , vernment overtures for peace, says the pr position thus made is described as, under the circumstances, such as to encourage hopes of its acceptan e, but that recent events have given a different tan to affairs. "It is believed at the Navy Dep, rtment that several of our gunboats are in pursuit of the rebel steamer Alabama, or ' 290.' This vessel has never been in American waters, but only in British waters, , or upon the high seas. This fact may lead to recla mations by our Government upon that of Great Britain for the acts of a vessel that has no stamp of nationality other than British. " The Agricultural Department has received gratifying intelligence from various sections of the country of the success attending the culture of cotton ; those from Southern Illinois are especially encouraging. " Secretary Chase has been detained at home for a week past by physicial infirm it y , but he has at tended a Cabinet meeting, and also resumed the transaction of business at the Treasury Department." The French gunboat Lavoisier, Capt. Rebonre, had arrived at New York from Sydney, Cape Breton. There are now a number of French war vessels at anchor in the harbour of New York. Havannah dates are to the 10th inst. It was stated by a reliable merchant at Havann.h that the alleged Confederate steamer burnt on the island off the Cuban shore and her crew taken by a National steamer, is no Confederate, nor was she loaded with cotton, as stated by newspapers. She was a slaver, and discharged 200 negroes in the port of La Mu lata, north of the island, belonging to wealthy and influential parties at Havannah. When the captain found he was pursued by a Federal man of-war he ran the steamer on shore and set fire to her imme diately. The interested parties made it appear that the vessel was a Confederate, laden with cotton, and that the Nationals had sat her en fire, which fire required only 12 hours to consume her totally. It was positively asserted in Havannah that the Confederate steamer " 290," with 13 other Confe derate men-of-war, was in Mobile. This is at least false in so far as it relates to the " 290." MEXICO. Vera Cruz dates are to Oct. 1. General Forey landed at Vera Cruz on the 25th, but he had been preceded by the following proclamation : " Mexicans ! When the Emperor Napoleon en trusted me with the command of the new army which will very soon join me, he ordered me to make his true intentions known to you. When, some months ago, Spain, England, and France, having the same object to obtain, saw themselves led to join together for the same motive,the Government,of the Emperor sent to Mexico only a small number of soldiers, leaving to the most aggravated nation the principal direction to exact the reparation of com mon grievances. But by a fatality which it was difficult to foresee, the parts have been changed, and France has remained to defend alone what she thought to be the interest of all. This new situa tion does not cause her to shrink back. Convinced of the justice of her reclamations, and fortified by her favourable intentions towards the regeneration of Mexico, she has persevered, and will more than ever persevere, in the object which she has proposed to herself. It is not against the Mexican people that I come to make war, but against a handful of men without scruples and without conscience, who have trampled upon the rights of men, have governed by the means of the most sanguinary system of terror, and who, in order to sustain them selves, were not ashamed of selling to foreigners, piece by piece, the territory of their country. It has been tried to exeite against us the national feel ing, pretending to make you believe that we come with the object of saddling upon the country a Go vernment to our liking. Very far from it. As soon as the Mexican people shall be liberated by our arms, they will freely elect the Government which they please. I have the express order to declare to you this. The strongminded men who have come to join us deserve our special protection ; but in the name of the Emperor do I call, without distinction of parties, all those who wish for the independence and the integrity of their country. It is not the policy of France, on account of a personal interest, to meddle with the internal dissensions of foreign nations ; but when for legitimate reason she find her self obliged to interfere, it is always in the interest of the country where she exercises her action_ Re member, Mexicans, that wherever her banners float, as well in America as in Europe, it represents the cause of the people and of civilisation. " FoREY, the General of Division, Senator, Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Army in Mexico. " Vera Cruz, Sept. 24, 1862." According to the latest information, the health of the troops in Vera Cruz, and the crews of the different ships in the harbour had much improved, the cases of yellow fever rapidly decreasing. COMMERCIAL. The commercial news has been anticipated by the Cape Race telegrams already published—but we re-produce a significant financial article from the New Fork Herald of the latest date as follows: " To say that gold has risen to 33 per cent. pre mium is a pleasant way of stating that paper money has depreciated 33 per cent. Practically in their conversation and reports the Wall-street financiers make paper the standard, and talk as if gold had risen above the standard. The fact is, as they and everybody else know, that gold is the standard, and that paper has fallen below this standard and is at a large discount. In a word, the one dollar bill in your purse is worth, according to yesterday's quotations, only 67 cents. That information affects you in quite a different way from the stereotyped announcement that gold has risen. You do not care how high gold may rise as long as your bank bills are at par. The delicate sophism of the money-changers leads you to forget that it is not gold that rises, but paper money that falls. Every time that the premium on gold increases the bills in your pockets lose iu value. Your riches, if they happen to be in paper money, take to themselves wings and fly away in spite of you. You find that the prices of coal, flour, butter, dry goods, clothing, and all the common necessaries of life, also rise with gold. The main secret of this rise is that the mer chants with whom you deal can only give you 67c. worth of articles for your dollar bill, worth only 67c.; and so they raise their prices in order to balance the discount. If you can afford to hold on to your bills till the war is over, they may regain their original value. If you must part with them now--and nearly every one must—then you are certain to suffer. It being understood, therefore, that the rise in gold is really a depreciation in the value of paper, the people inquire, Who is respon sible for this great depreciation ? We answer, Secretary Chase and the present Congress. The Treasury Department has been most grossly mis managed. Secretary Chase had a sound system of finance prepared for him by practical men, but he does not know how to manage it. If the system now in operation had been properly carried out paper could not have been depreciated more than 8 per cent. by this time. There is nothing either in the condition of the country or the position of our armies to justify the present large depreciation. If the war had been weighing upon us for ten years, and our prospects of success were still doubtful, then there might be some excuse for such a premium on gold. But the war has lasted but a year and a half, and its fortunes are indisputably in our favour, and still on the very days that great Union victo ries are announced the premium on gold increases. Clearly, then, there is mismanagement in the Trea sury Department." The article then comments upon Secretary Chase's errors of commission and omission, and concludes as follows : " It is not too late to remedy all this, however. The examp l e of W i lliam Pitt, who carried England through a long war by a judicious system em of taxa tion, I j 'a studied and leg a l tend er currency , ied should be Ta x Ilia be atte ntively by Secretary Cha s e. Let the enforced so as to supp l y the Govern ment with moue 3 'basis of th e currene , and with th e T ar iff Bill form the Y. Then let Congress, at its next trict sessitheon, pass a bil l taxing banks so as to re s bank circulation, country being deluged with and thus prevent the two kinds o f p a per money--that of the Government and that of the 1 TII4 SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1862. local banks. Then let a bankrupt bill be passed to liberate those of .our business men who have their hands tied by old debts resulting from former failures. This done, and with the ordinary chances of war in our favour, the premium upon gold can be reduced to at least 5 per cent. If Secretary Chase were to retire from the cabinet, and give place to a better financier, this result would be indubitably hastened." FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE A 7 SEA. PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Afternoon.—This morn ing M. Paul Augustin Fable, nephew of the mas ter, and chief officer of the ship St. Louis, of 400 tons, belonging to Marseilles, appeared in distress before Mr. William Luscombe, of this port, Vice- Consul for France. M. Fabre states that the St. Louis was owned in shares by himself, his relations at Marseilles, and the master, M. Augustin Fabre, and that they possess altogether a fleet of 12 mer chant vessels. Their ship took in 380 tons of grain at a small roadstead near Beyrout, where there are only four or five houses, and left for England, char tered, probably, to call at Cork, Falmouth, or Ply mouth, for orders. On Saturday, the 18th of Octo ber, they received from a large cutter a Channel pilot, who immediately took charge. Very heavy weather was then experienced, and continued throughout the following week, when she com menced leasing. On Saturday morning, the 25th inst., during a terrific hurricane from the south west, all three of her masts went by the board. The pilot was injured by the fall, the pumps were disabled, and the ship became unmanageable. No assistance came near during the day, but at night fall a steamship approached, and the crew cried for help. Their appeal was heard on board the stranger, which stopped immediately and exhibited lights on both sides. Unhappily, the fearful weather which prevailed prevented those on board the steamer from ascertaining the exact position of the wreck. The difficulty of ob servation was much increased by the loss of the masts of the St. Louis. The master of the steam ship, with much humanity, steered three times round the wreck, and after expending several hours, ultimately resumed his original course. This oc• curred in long. 8 40 W., or midway between the Land's End and Cape Clear. The wretched master and crew, 28 in all, were now left in a hopeless condition 150 miles from the shore. The leakage, not being kept down by the pumps, had in the meantime swollen the grain. The same night the ship opened bodily fore and aft, and went down, and most of those on board took to the spars and rigging. The mate and son of the master, Louis Fabre, only three years of age, clung to the fore mast. After this period the mate can give no exact account of time. He had much difficulty in retain ing the child, who received one fearful cut on his forehead and face, while his preserver was chafed and bruised all over. In this condition they were knocked about the remainder of Satur day night, all Sunday, and all Sunday night, up to 4 o'clock on Monday morning,when the spar struck the Cornish shore and they escaped. The mate does not speak English, but a kind-hearted fisherman, seeing their distress, supplied them with clothing. After walking one day over a high hill they came to a railway station, where a gentleman paid the mate's fare to Plymouth. The boy was left behind. Among the crew were four Greek sailors, all the rest were Frenchmen. The name of the 2d officer is Renard Louis, Augustin Rossi was carpenter, Louis cabin boy, and seven of the sailors were called Morel, Auguste, Fore, Francois, Geo. Gas, Philippe Robert, and Charoi. The pilot was called Vickel son or Nicholson, a full-sized man, 40 years old, with chestnut hair which covered his face. He was taken out of a large cutter with a crew of four men. The steamship William Corry, Captain Goldsmid, from Cardiff for New York, put into Falmouth on Saturday, and by the master's report she was the vessel which failed to help the St. Louis. The steamer first went to leeward of the voices, think ing they would pull down to her, and then to wind ward, supposing that they were on a raft. CI7 Y COMMISSION OF SEWERS. on places calling for further 'proceedings on account of orders already issued but not complied with. The court then adjourned. ARRIVAL OF THE SAXONIA. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 29. The Hambnrgh and American Company's steam ship Saxonia, Captain Ethers, from New York, has arrived with 154 passengers for Hamburgh, Havre, and this port. Also on freight-348,955 dols. for England, 227,280 dols. for France, and 4,700 dols. for Hamburgh. The Saxonia left New York on the 18th instant at 1 p.m., and called off Cape Race on the 22d at 9.30 a.m. During her passage she spoke the fol lowing ships :—On the 18th inst., off Sandy Hook, passed the English ship Dragon, bound for New York ; 20th inst. passed the Bremen barque Presi dent Schmidt, steering westward ; and on the 22d, in lat. 47, long. 52, passed the English schooner First Fruit, steering westward. The steam ship Asia arrived at Boston on the morning of Oct. 17. The Saxonia's news is anticipated. 21 - 1 E NAVY. The screw steam frigate Phoebe, 51, Capt. For tescue, at Plymouth, was swung yesterday for the adjustment of her compasses. She is under orders to sails for the Mediterranean. The screw steam frigate Galatea, 26, Capt. Ma guire, from Spithead on Sunday, arrived in Ply mouth Sound on Tuesday afternoon. She has re ceived supernumeraries for ships on the West India station, and will leave shortly for Bermuda. The defects of the paddlewheel steamsloop Virago, 6, Commander Hope Johnstone, will be completed at Devonport by Nov. 2. An Admiralty order has been received at Chatham explanatory of the 27th article of the " Admiralty Instructions" relative to the transmission of the re turns of the sailing qualities of ships of war. In future, when an officer is superseded in command of a ship, he will rot be required to send in the report of the sailing qualities of such ship for any broken period of a ye 4r, but the return, being annual, is to be made out at the expiration of the year by the officer then in command. The improved night signals for the navy, invented by Mr. E. Hawthorne, of Sheerness dockyard, hav ing been most favourably reported upon by the offieers of the various ships into which they have been introduced, a notification was yesterday re ceived at Chatham that the Lords of the Admiralty have awarded the inventor the sum of £25 for the invention. The invention has been adopted on board several vessels belonging to the Danish navy, the officers of which have favourably reported upon it. Mr. W. Roberts, of Milwall, having received the sanction of the Lords of the Admiralty for an offi cial trial of his newly-invented steam traction fire engine, yesterday attended in Woolwich dockyard, and exhibited the properties and capabilities of the ' apparatus in the presence of the whole of the local authorities. The trials commenced soon after ten o'clock, and concluded at four. The fire having been lighted at 10 o'clock under the boiler (Benson's pa tent), steam was raised in 24 minutes to 1401 b. The engine was put in motion at the western extre • mity of the dockyard, and rundown to the open space fronting the building shed from which the Caledonia was launched on Friday last. The hose and a 11 in. mozzle having been applied, a solid body of water was thrown over the roof to the height of about 120 feet. After working the engine with various sized deliveries, and throwing a larger and smaller jet of water, a double hose was affixed and the effect was highly satisfactory, and on being worked in competition with the force from the hydraulic main in the dockyard the effect of the engine was pro nounced one-fourth superior to the dockyard hose, The machine then steamed down to the new sheds erected for bending and preparing the armour plates for the Caledonia, and, having been connected with the hydraulic press, worked as a driving engine and propelled the travelling crane in lifting and remov ing the iron slabs. The engine, having a single guiding wheel in front, is enabled to turn without difficulty and inconvenience. At the conclusion of the trial the engine steamed off to its destination, proceeding over London-bridge, after 10 at night. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. A. G. Wootton and Lieut. G. J. Anstruther, to the Leopard ; Sub.-Lieut. H. L. Pearson and Sub.-Lieut. Cecil S. W. Willis, to the St. George; F. D. Radcliffe, midshipman, to the Marlborough ; T. S. Houghton, midshipman, to the St. George; A. Boys, paymaster, additional to the President; F. J. Putman, assist.-paymaster to the Hastings ; M. S. S. Bree, master's-assist., to the Revenge ; J. R. Stewart, of the Odin, W. H. Kent, of Magicienne, and R. Hall, of the Asia, for the Stork, confirmed as second-class assist-en gineers. 7HE ARMY. Major-Gen. Blomfield, Inspector-General of the Royal Artillery, accompanied by Col. Charles Bingham, Deputy Adjutant General, and Coi. Henry, C. 8., returned to town yesterday from a visit of inspection to the Royal Artillery at Shoe buryness and the various departments. A general order from the Horse Guards was yesterday promulgated at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, announc ing that her Majesty has been graciously pleased to appoint Gen. Sir John F. Burgoyne, G.C.8., to the staff of • the army, as Inspector• General of En gineers, in conjunction with his appointment of Inspector of Works. A first detachment of recruits for the Royal Ar tillery arrived on Tuesday at Warley Barracks, near Brentwood. Further detachments are ex pected to follow. About 200 men of the depot of the Ist battalion, 6th Regiment, left the camp at Colchester on Tues day, en route for Portsmouth, to join their corps. The summer course of instruction of the officers and men of the Royal Engineers at the Royal En gineers' practising-ground, Chatham, having ter minated, arrangements have been made for a thorough course of indoor instruction of the officers and sappers during the ensuing winter, in accord ance with the scheme sanctioned by his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. The Royal Engineer depot has been cleared, and will be em ployed exclusively for the instruction of the Royal Engineers in the construction of facines and gabions, knotting, splicing, tamping fuses, &c. In addition to the above, the men will also be instructed in infantry pontooning. In accordance with orders received from head luarters, the principal officials connected with the architectural, survey, and forti fication schools have received directions to put the non - commissioned officers and sappers through a thorough course of military drawing and fortifi cation, in readiness for practical operations being resumed on a large scale at the commencement of the next season. A number of mechanics have been employed for some days past in the spacious riding establishment of the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, in preparing a stage and making the necessary arrangements for a theatrical performance to be given on a grand scale for the exclusive benefit of the distressed operatives in the north. [AnirEnTisEmENT.)—Tiolloway's Ointment and Pills.— Bowel Complaints—Diarrhosa.—When these diseases pre vail, immediate recourse should be had to this ointment, which should be well rubbed two or three times a day upon the abdomen, and the intestinal irritation will gradually subside, all inflammation will be subdued, and excessive ac tion safely restrained.

The following additional details of this defaulter are supplied by the Manchester Guardian :—ln the months of January and February, 1860, the affairs of the City Savings-bank, as Mr, Jonah Andrew then styled his establishment, were dis cussed at some length in the columns of the Guardian. No fewer than 16 letters from various correspondents were published, nearly all of which expressed sus picion that the bank was not what it professed to be, and some contained details of usurious practices perfectly astounding. The discussion was com menced by a correspondent who objected to the title "savings"-bank, as calculated, to mislead the public, by conveying the idea that deposits in it were placed for security in the hands of Government. Mr. Jonah Andrew, the manager, in a flippant letter, contended that the title was general, and might be justly assumed by any hank intended to receive sav ings. A second correspondent quoted from the pro spectus of the bank the statement that it offered interest at 5 per cent., and remarked upon the fact that no names of directors and treasurers of the bank bad been published. Andrew subsequently wrote " that the deposits of the City Savings-bank are invested under the direction of upwards of 70 gentlemen of Manchester and district, whose names I am not at liberty to publish in a newspaper." The names never were published ; and in the bank re turns which are advertised annually, according to Act of Parliament, of this bank, the following state ment is made :—" Name of firm, Jonah Andrew ; person of whom the company consists,lonah Andrew, Mtdlock Vale, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, banker ; name of place where the business is carried on, Manchester, Lancashire." The names of the modest 70 who knew how to invest money so as to promise investors 5 per cent. interest were not an absolute secret, for " Septimus" wrote to the Guar dian, from Staleybridge, that " the leading men in connection with these classes [the loan classes ad joined to the bank] are almost all of them leaders of a popular religious denomination." The Guardian states that at the time it exposed several instances of the bank's usurious dealing by the intervention of these classes, and it now adds another saying that these details are only types of hundreds of si milar cases. " A young man wished to borrow £25. He received from Andrew £lO 3s. 6d., and made himself responsible for £25, the remainder above what he received being swallowed up by the alleged cost of a policy of insurance and other ex penses. In the repayment of this loan of £lO 3s. 6d. and interest, Andrew received, in little more than two years, £2B ; and he had demanded £4l, but consented to forego the additional £l3 rather than the case should come before one of the law courts, as the borrower's surety had put the matter in the hands of a solicitor. In another case, upon a loan of £2O, £l7 was repaid, when the borrower's surety was served with a writ for £36 for unpaid balance and interest. The third case was narrated by the employer of a young man who wished to borrow £lOO. He received from Andrew, at various times, £45; his sureties repaid £B2 143., and then learnt that there was still upwards of £4O owing. The case which has most recently come to our knowledge is one in which a nominal loan of £lO was effected, for which £7 15s. was received. The borrower repaid £8 by instalments, and was then informed that the debt still owing was £l5. We have no doubt, we repeat, that when all the affairs of this so-called bank are disclosed many similar instances of usurious dealing will be re vealed." A curious incident is related of the ap prehension of Andrew. When in the cab on his way to the station, he handed his brother, who was allowed to accompany him, a gold watch, and the brother was cautioned by the police not to part with it. The only articles foand on him when searched at the station were a shilling and a " Life of Jesus," and he begged that the latter might not be taken from him, as it was his only comfort. 71IE 7 URKISH GOVERNMENT AND 7HE CULT URE OF COTTON. The following papers have been forwarded to us for pub lication : " To His Excellency Musurus Bey, Ambassador to his Imperial majesty the Sultan. " Monsieur l'Ambassadeur,—His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, our august master, desirous to favour the culture of cotton in his empire, and to restore to it that importance which it formerly possessed, has issued, with this view, several ordinances, of which you will find subjoined a printed recapitulation, and for the execution of which I now claim your enlightened concurrence. "I do not doubt, Monsieur I'Ambassadeur, that you will appreciate, without the necessity of my developing them at length, the happy consequences that may arise from the measures in question, if they are applied with the required zeal and intelligence. " The substitution of a fixed impost per denum for the dime is destined, for example, to cause to disappear one of the greatest obstacles hitherto encountered in the propa gation of good species of cotton plants. In effect the fruits of the cotton plant do not all ripen at the same epoch. It is desirable that every day, during a period more or less prolonged, attentive to the progress of the vegetation, the grower should withdraw the cotton from the capsules which contain it as they naturally open. If he is obliged to gather the capsules before their complete maturity he finds it very troublesome to extract the cotton from them after wards. If he should, on the contrary, defer gathering them, the cotton will fall to the ground and be deteriorated ; but the receiver of the dime, on the other hand, cannot abstain from the exercise of his right to suit the convenience of the cultivators without compromising his interests ; for either ho must abandon to the contributor the care of performing his part in gathering the harvest, which will expose it to be frustrated, or he will be forced to have, so to speak, a dwel ling in every field, which would occasion him considerable expense, The substitution of an impost per denum instead of the dime will be the only remedy for these grave incon veniences. Unfortunately this desirable substitution is not to be made everywhere, because there are still many pro • vinces where the dimes are farmed ; but it will be applied from this year in the province of Adana as well as in a part of that of Aidin, and in the meanwhile it can be extended to the other portions of the empire, and a severe watch will be kept in order to ameliorate as muc h as possible the disagreeable effects arising from the continuance of the dime there. " The exemption from all imposts during five years upon uncultivated lands which may be devoted to cotton culture cannot fail to bring about an extension of that cul • ture, for their exist in Turkey vast spaces which are per fectly applicable thereto, and which, in order to furnish their contingent to the general production need only arms and capital. The Imperial Government will receive with eagerness demands for concessions of lands which may be addressed to it by serious undertakers conformably to the laws of the empire. " In limiting to the duty formerly received that which cotton gathered in future will bear on exportation the Go vernment offers for the production of cotton of superior quality, a premium of encouragement which will be, with out doubt, the more appreciated by the cultivators, as the price of cotton varies according to quality in a very great proportion. " The improvement of the roads is one of those measures the immense utility of which needs no discussion. The Imperial Government has been occupied for a long time with this subject, and it has recently granted a law for the impressment of local manual labour which will render the realisation thereof possible without bearing on the public treasury. " Article 3, which exempts from all entrance duty in struments an machines required for the culture of cotton, will, without doubt, as a consequence bring into Turkey perfect instruments and machines, the want of which may be placed among the number of the causes which prevented up to the present time agriculture in general from progress ing. " Competition in the products of industry has borne ex cellent fruit in all countries where it has been tried, and there is reason to hope that it will be the same in Turkey. " In fine, by giving to the country instruments and ma chines which will save as models to it, and by d;stributing gratuitously choice seeds and the practical instructions necessary for the successful cultivation, the Imperial Go vernment proposes not only to indicate, but also to open, at its own expense, the path of progress on which it would desire cultivators to enter. 4, You see, Monsieur I'Ambassadeur, how much the measures on which I have just dwelt may be productive o happy results. I believe it is important, above all, to give them the greatest possible publicity, and I consequently pray you to communicate them to the journals, to asso - and to eminent persons interested in England, t b r e , country wh ere th ere i s th e greatest consumption of cotto of anywhere in the world. your " Your excellency will have afterwards to pCOu a i Govern self with the means of facilitating to the ro I Ppeorised on it by went the execution of the engsg raeuttsherwefore to inquire At tick 3. It will be necessary for Ylug_ l. What instru of the most competent persona concerti OF WHAT SAUSAGES ARE MADE. On Tuesday, at a meeting of the commissioners of sewers, held at Guildhall, Mr. De Jersey pre siding, Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of helith, called their special attention to an abominable and disgusting use to which diseased meat seized in a public market had been put, and which he had rea son to apprehend was not an uncommon case. He reported that the market inspectors had informed him that much of the diseased meat of Newgate market finds its way to the sausage-makers of Cow cross. Last week an inspector seized the carcasses of a diseased sheep and pig which were being car ried to a sausage-maker in that locolity. The sheep had died Prom the roc, and the pig was covered with small abscesses like boils, many of which had burst through the skin, and the rest were still full of matter. Both of the animals were in a shock ingly diseased state, and but for the interference of the inspector would have been converted into sau sages. He had also to state that the slaughter houses of Cow-cross, which are just outside the City, are a source of great anxiety to the inspectors, from the circumstance that diseased animals are con stantly slaughtered there and brought into she City markets. Last week there were two such instances. Two diseased bullocks had been killed in the slaugh ter-house of a Mr. Cross, and then carried to New gate-market, Were seized. In like man ner a common practice with m who are outside the City a o a t e e a - t m o Whitechapel r k t e hte, butchers where is boundary to traffic in diseased meat ; and City butchers and salesmen complain that they have not the same chences for the disposal of inferior meat which their neighbours have. Only last week the carcasses of about a dozen bullocks that had died on ship-board were sold in Whitechapel. Meat of this description was disposed of to the poor at night, when it passed for wholesome meat, and it realised from a penny to five farthings a pound. He sub mitted this matter to the commissioners, in order that the local authorities of Whitechapel and Hol born might be informed of it, so that there might be uniformity of action among the officers of the several districts in question. He added that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly in spected, and the officers had seized 4,5251b5. of meat and 73 head of game and poultry as unfit for human food. It consisted of 16 sheep, 10 pigs, 32 quarters of beef, and about 50 joints of meat. Three-fourths of it were from diseased animals, and he recom mended that in two cases the matter be submitted to the solicitor for further investigation. Dr. ABRAHAM said the subject to which the medi cal officer had called their attention deserved some thing more than a passing notice from them, because it concerned the public health, not only as regarded the City, but the whole metropolis. He submitted that copies of the report ought to be sent to the local authorities in the neighbourhoods of the City, so that they might understand the condition of things which it described, and that the medical officers in those neighbourhoods might co-operate with the officers of their commission in putting an end to such a bominable practices. Deputy LOTT proposed that the City solicitor for the time should be instructed to take the neces sary legal proceedings against the persons referred to in the medical officer's report. Mr. ISRAEL said that he understood that much of the deceased meat found its way into the market after the Inspectors had seized it. He thought that highly reprehensible, and asked whether the con demned meat could not be sprinkled with creosote directly it was sold in the shop of a salesman. One of the inspectors replied that the diseased meat was so sprinkled after being seized, on being put into the cart to be seat to the boilers. Eventually the commissioners resolved to print the report, and send it to every one of the vestries iu the metropolis, with a request that they would co-operate with the officers of the commission in preventing the sale of diseased meat in the metro polis generally, as it was impossible for the officers of the City to extend their supervision beyond its boundaries. They also resolved to instruct the solicitor to institute iegal proceedings against five persons named in the medical officer's returns. Touching the sanitary condition of the City, Dr. Letheby reported that the mortality returns for the week were a little above the average. There ware 58 deaths, compared with 46, the number for the corresponding period of the last 7 years; 26 of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 13 were among persons of 60 and upwards; only 9 of the deaths were from zymotie disease. He also reported that 184 houses had been inspected during the week, and h e submitted I a list of 64 places for sanitary i m provement, and ments end machines can be procured proper for the cultiva tion of cotton which from their simplic it y will be best adapted I to the manners and habits of the Ottoman populations, and to the economical condition in which they live; 2. What species of cotton plants it would be most desirable to intro- , duce int. the empire, and the possibility of procuring the seeds of such plants, &c. " As soon as you will have collected information on these divers points you will please to transmit them to me, taking care to indicate to me the approximate expense of the par chase of the objects which you believe you ought to recom mend for my choice. " I pray you also to collect information concerning trea tises on the cultivation applicable to the cotton plant, of which the translation into the vulgar tongue of the Turks would be useful, and to send me copies as soon as possible. It will not escape your notice that these treatises, in order to attain the object which the Government will have in view in distributing them throughout the country, must be precise and essentially practical. " Please to accept, Monsieur l'Ambassadeur, the assur ance of my high consideration. The Minister of Commerce and Public Works, (Signed) " E. SAFVET. " Constantinople, Sept. 26, 1862," Notification explaining the Dispositions approved by his Imperial Majesty the Sultan relative to the Cultivation of Cotton. " Cotton is one of the productions of the earth the most useful and the most remunerative. Several foreign coun tries have been considerably enriched by the production of this material on a grand scale. Formerly the cultivation of cotton flourished in many localities of the Ottoman Empire, and the inhabitants derived the greatest benefits from it ; but in these latter times, in consequence of different causes which it would be idle to search into, this cultivation has unfortunately fallen into decadence. The enlightened and beneficent efforts fur the good of all classes of his subjects which animate our august Sovereign induce him constantly to study and adopt the best and most efficacious means of making them return to their ancient state of opulence and riches. He has, therefore, accorded his Imperial approba • tion to the following dispositions relative to the cultivation of cotton, which form part of the measures decreed with the object of advancing, with the help of God, the organi sation and the prosperity of his country. "1. In conformity with the dispositions of the law upon lands ceded by the state by means of titles (tapon), those who will open up uncultivated and deserted lands and convert them into arable fields shall receive them gra•• tuitously and without charge, and new titles will be delivered to them on the sole condition of paying three piastres for stamp duty. Moreover, the produce of those lands shall be exempted from the payment of the dime for one year, or in case the land shall be stony for two years; and if among the lands thus given up for culture, and on which the said concessioner has cultivated cotton, the ex- emption of the dime, or of the payment required instead of the dime, will be extended to five years. The space of time during which persons will be admitted to avail them selves of (Ilia exemption is ten years, to be reckoned from the publication of the present notice. "2. During the said space of ten years the tariff o customs for cotton shall not undergo any change or varia tion, and the duties will be collected at a uniform rate for all kinds of cotton, whatever may be their quality or com mercial value. "3. In order that the cotton produced may be trans • ported to the seaports, the roads in the districts where cotton is grown shall, in case of need, be repaired and pat in a good state, in compliance with the regulation already published for this purpose. The instruments and machines imported from Europe, and which the inhabitants may require for the cultivation of cotton, cleaning and separa ting the seeds, &c., shall be exempt from all customs duties. The state wid cause to be brought, as its own cost, from America to serve as samples, a sufficient number of those instruments and machines, as well as cotton seeds of the best quality and choicest kinds, and the cultivators will be taught to make use of them. Instructions and trea tises will be drawn up on the manner of cultivating cot ton easily, and how to augment its production, and these will be sent into all the localities where that product is cul tivated. " 4. Tn the cities and towns of those localities an exhibi tion will be made every year of the samples of cotton gathered in the environs, and the best species produced will receive prizes for encouragement. "5. The administration proposes to make in future every effort to give the greatest facilities possible for the cultivation of cotton, and to cause that branch of industry to progress. "The preceding articles containing the promise of the Go vernment to facilitate and aid with all its power so impor tant a culture, it now becomes the duty of the subjects of the empire who inhabit localities in which the soil and cli mate are favourable to the production of cotton to neglect no means of deriving all the advantages possible from the gracious disposition of our august Sovereign." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING WEDNESDAY. Settling on the Cambridgeshire was easy, and went on very smoothly until 12 o'clock, the time of running the first race having been deferred by two walks over. Messrs.
