MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. The serious reports from America have to-day caused a decided pause in the speculation in the Liverpool cotton market. Low offers were refused by holders, but in some instances they submitted to a reduction of fully d. per pound. It is stated that information has been received by the diplomatic agents of Paraguay at the European Courts of the conclusion of a convention by Mr. Thornton, her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at Assumption, and Senor Don Francisco Sanchez, the Paraguayan Minister of Foreign Affairs, where by all the difficulties so long jiending between Eng land and Paraguay, and respecting which a ques tion was lately asked in the House of Commons by Mr. Maguire, have at length received an amicable solution. The ad'rices from Holland report a continued de mand for Portuguese stock. Portugal has not an nounced any public loan since the year 1835, and it would appear that the bulk of the stock issued from time to time since that period has been absorbed in Holland, where a good portion of the coming new loan will probably soon go. The private subscrip tions for the new stock are influential. A notification has appeared from the Portuguese Financial Agency giving the particulars of the pro gress of the conversion. It also states the amount of bonds of all issues now in circulation, from which it appears that the total does not exceed £15,492,800. The extent to which stock is being transferred to Lisbon for conversion into internal debt forms a satisfactory feature. It appears that the Mercantile Insurance Com pany is contemplating another important amalga mation. The negotiations are probaby not yet complete, but are said to promise well. The bulk of the dollars brought by the Shannon (Mexican packet) have been disposed of 601 d. per tea. This shows a decline of T-,d. from the price obtained for the large arrival of last month, but of ld from the rate last realized, rather more than a fortnight ago. This heavy decline is caused by the unfavourable tenour of the late advices from China, which very much tends to check shipments in that direction. The bar silver and dollars by the Seine are not yet sold. The scrip of the Egyptian Loan was again in good demand at the commencement of business, and was marked 9i prem., but the closing quota tion was t below that of yesterday. The late heavy supplies from America and Aus tralia having been mostly cleared off the market, no gold was taken to the Bank to-day. The Glasgow, from New York, however, has brought £360,000. The £112,000 Australian by tho Sussex has also yet to be disposed of. It is said that the forthcoming dividend in Otto man Bank shares will be extremely satisfactory, the commission on the Turkish Loan having added very largely to the profits of the establishment. Apart, however, from this exceptional profit, the high position which this bank has acquired in Tur key, both with the Government and the commer cial community has latterly brought its shares into favour. The mail steamer Ripon sails with £100,583 in specie, of which £32,083 is for Shanghai, £22,765 for Hong Kong, £21,050 for Singapore, £20,000 for Calcutta, £2,530 for Madras, and £2,155 for Ceylon. £15,385 is gold, and the rest silver. _At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's t eleg'ram, the Time per Cent. Rentes opened at 68f. 40c., being sc. better than yesterday. The 1-;.ed Sea and India Telegraph Bill having received tbe Royal assent, the next dividend, due on the 4th of August, will be paid at the Bank of England. _ The report of the Telegraph to India Company, to be presented on the 25th inst., states that the re establishment of the line as far as Jubal island has been attended with satisfactory pecuniary results, since it appears that a revenue of about £7,000 per annum may be expected from it. The investiga tion of the line between Aden and Kurrachee shows that it cannot be repaired. The question of any new operations will depend upon the resolutions of the Treasury in relation to the Euphrates route. The eancelment of £12,496 Portuguese Bonds is officially advertised. The Arabia, from Boston, has brought £70,400 in specie. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Unabated easiness is still experienced in the money market, and as the best bills can be negotia ted without difficulty at 2 per cent., the inquiries at the Bank of England, where 2f per cent. is demanded, are consequently extremely limited. The Ripon, sailing to-morrow (20th inst.) with the India and China mails, will take out £100,585 in specie. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £868,000, and the exports £451,000. ;'At the ensuing meeting of the National Dis count Company a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. will be proposed. Two o'CLocx. THE NEW PORTUGUESE LOAN. A new Portuguese loan for X 500,000, to be raised in a 3 per cent. stock at the price of 44, Will be announced on Monday. _ The English Stock Market is quiet, and very little variation had occurred, Sales, however, have slightly preponderated, and a decline of f per cent. has taken place, Consols being 921 1 for trans fer, and 92/ for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced are 931; Exchequer Bills, 18s. to 205. prem. ; Bank Stock has remained at 235 and 23 7 ; and India Five per Cent. Loan is flat, at 1071 1081. The transactions in the Foreign Market have been of an average character. Turkish 6 per Cents. are flat, at 841 ; ditto, 1858, at 721 73 ; ditto Scrip, at 11- 4 1 prem. ; Egyptian Scrip, at 81. Italian Railway Loan has farther improved to 1 prem. ; Russian Scrip, to prem. ; Portuguese 3 per Cents. are 451; and Venezuelan, 231. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been restricted, and in some instances a slight decline has taken place. Great Westerns, North Westerns, and South Easterns have receded 55.; Midlands, 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15sd Et . ;Caledonians, howev er , h ave i m proved ss. ; anEastern Counties and Great Northern A Stock, 105. The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained without material variation. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneoup Shares are in some instances a shade firmer.

LAW-THIS DAY. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) IN THE MATTER or J. S. BOUVERIE. This was a cause under the Legitimacy Declaration Act to prove the legitimacy of the petitioner, who was deceased. p ea S t i e r d I f l o u r g - t h he C p a e i t r i n ti s o , n e Q r .;C and., with sr F F. e l o l 7 D t h . , p o a j p e - , and Mr. Mathews appeared for the other parties. Sir 11. Cairns, at great length, opened the case on the part of his client, who, he said, sought to prove his legiti macy. It appeared that the grandfather of the petitioner died many years ago, leaving three sons and three daugh ters, and the youngest son, the father of the peti tioner, afterwards married a Miss Shiels, of Castle Dawson, Ireland, at whose marriage his brothers was present. This relative died some short time after, but the issue of the marriage was a son (the petitioner). About 12 months after his birth his father died, leaving his family in very reduced circumstances in consequence of the family of the Bouveries refusing to acknowledge them. After the death of petitioner's father his mother married a Mr. Bell, who, it was alleged, was the father of the petitioner. The property in which his client claimed to have an interest, amounfed to upwards of £lOO,OOO. The Judge Ordinary said the amount of property in question was not material, all the jury had to do was to decide the legitimacy or illegitimacy of the petitioner, Several witnesses were examined, who stated that they had seen the petitioner's father, Capt, Bouverie, frequently after his marriage with Miss Sheils. They were always acknowledged as Capt. and Mrs. Bouverie, and that they had seen petitioner's father frequently kiss him while an infant, and say that one day or other he would come in for a large amount of property. The case is a very long one, and will occupy the court Rome time. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BEWARE OF THE DUSTMEN.—John Still, Granby-street, Lambeth, was charged with stealing 241bs. of tin, of the value of Ll 75., the property of Mr. Hugh Wm. Palmer, typefounder, of GA, West. street, Soho, and Henry Barker, of 47, Wellington-street, Blackfriars•road, general dealer, was charged with receiving the same well knowing it to be stolen. Butcher, 137 C, said that on the previous afternoon he went to GA, West-street, Soho, and saw a piece of tin, quite new, a perfect ingot, 241bs. weight, nearly covered with dust. He placed himself in a cellar about three yards off, and at 1,30 saw Still and another man, not in custody, come down and take away some dust out of the dust-hole. The other man reached out the ingot and put it in a basket, which Still filled with dust and placed on the other's back. The man took it up and camo down without the basket, and they then left and went to Lichfield-street and got into the cart, he (Butcher) following them. They then wrapped the piece of tin in a piece of cloth and put it in a a sack. After collecting some more dust he followed them to a shop at 85, Uppe: Ground•street, where the two men went into the back parlour with Barker and the sack. They then came out, and he asked where the piece of tin was which they had just brought in, and Still said he did not know what he meant. He then asked Barker if he belonged to the shop, and on his saying that he did, be asked for the piece of tin, and he said he had not got it, but on searching the place he found it. The cart had been left in the Blackfriars-road. The officer produced a large quantity of lead, which he also found at Barker's shop, and 6s. Bd. which he found on Still, and said that Barker said he had bought the lead at lid. a pound, and put down all the lead which he could not say when he bought, in a book (produced), but he only found very small amounts. Still said ho never put the lead where it was found, but he did take it away. Butcher said ho found the ingot of lead at Barker's, amongst some rags. Mr. James Ewell, foreman to Mr. Palmer, GA, West street, Soho, typofounder, identified the ingot of lead as Mr. Palmer's property. Two ingots had been missed. The prisoners were remanded. A FRAUDULENT CONPESSION.—John. Lowe, a rough looking fellow, waa charged by Sergeant Foinett, 14 C, with fraudulently confessing himself to be a deserter from the 4th battalion of the Military Train. Sergeant Foinett said the prisoner gave himself up to him, telling him he was a deserter from the Military Train, and the prisoner in this court before the magistrate said that he was a deserter, and the person described in the " Police Gazette." He (the sergeant) had been to the War Office, and the letter handed in was the result :—" War Offioe—l am directed by the Secretary of State to inform you that John Lowe having been discharged as a bad and worthless character, he should be proceeded with as a rogue and vagabond." The letter was signed by Major General Crofton. Mr. Knox said (addressing the prisoner)—lt turns out you are not a deserter at all, but you have fraudulently confessed yourself to be so. I shall commit you as a rogue and vagabond for three months. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

B. Aspinall, Esq., Q.C., and a jury, John Chapman, of Dunkeld-street, West Derby road (who was out on bail), surrendered to take his trial on a charge of committing an indecent assault on Maria Harding, who resided in the same street. Mr, Littler and Mr. Fawcett appeared for the pro secution ; and the defendant was defended by Mr. Con way. The defendant, on the application of his counsel, was accommodated with a seat at the table under the barristers' seat. Mr. Littler, in opening the case for the prosecu tion, said that he was quite sure the jury would treat the case with the same attention as if the pri soner did not occupy the position he did, and that he would be dealt with by them just the same as if hew as the poorest and mcznest person. The facts of the case were of a most extraordinary character, and would call for the careful consideration Gf the jury; and be was satisfied that they would give them that attention which they merited. It might be maintained by the defence—and he thought it would be better for him to refer to it then—that Mrs. Harding had had the misfortune to have a child born out of wedlock some six years ago, but with that exception he (the learned counsel) did not think anything could be said against her morality or respectability. The prisoner ought rather to have sympathised with her on that account than to have committed a most outrageous and abominable assault upon her. The learned gentleman then went on to state the facts of the case to the jury, and concluded by calling upon the jury, if they be lieved the evidence that would be submitted to them by the prosecution, to convict the prisoner of the offence with wnich he was charged. Maria Harding, the prosecutrix, was then called and examined by Mr. Fawcett. She said—A few weeks ago I resided at 12, Dunkeld-street, West Derby-road, and the defendant, John Chapman, was my landlord. He lived next door to me. I think I went into the house in September last. My son is living with me ands servant girl. I had the misfortune some years ago to have a son with- ' out being married. The gentleman who is the father of the boy made a settlement upon me, and since then I have been living alone with my boy. When I went into the house in September last de fendant offered me some assistance to bring my fur niture from Birkenhead, and I have been friendly with the family of the defendant since then. On the 20th of June I was in the scullery about one o'clock washing myself. I was about to dress for dinner, as a lady friend was coming to dine with me. There is a door leading from the kitchen to the scullery. At that time I was in my morning wrap per, and had nothing on but my two skirts. While I was in the scullery I heard a knock at the door, and the servant went and opened it. I asked who was there, when the servant replied that it was Mr. Chapman. Mr. Chapman then came in and said twice to me, " I want you." The quarter's rent was then due, but he did not ask for the rent. I said, " Mr. Chapman, please excuse me : I am not fit to come before a gentleman ;" but he replied, " I want you." Before Mr. Chapman came in I had told tee servant to go for some beer, as the dinner was all ready. When Mr. Chapman was in I again told the girl to go for the beer, and he heard me. Just after that I was going up stairs to dress, and said to Mr. Chapman that I would be down in a minute ; but as I was passing, Mr. Chapman, who was sit ting in a rocking chair in the kitchen, caught hold of me and threw me on the ground. (The witness then went on to detail a series of indecent acts which she alleged Mr, Chapman committed when she was on the ground ; but that part of her evi dence is unfit for publication.) She then went on to say—l kicked him, and we struggled on the floor together. He took hold of me by the throat, and I cried out " Help! murder !" and the servant girl came in. As soon as the girl came in the defen dant jumped up and readjusted his dress. I got up also and got hold of the poker, and struck Chapman with it on the side of the bead. He then seized me round the arm and took the poker from my hand, and struck me a blow on the back with it, saying, " You—, I'll give you the weight of it." He took hold of me by the hair of the head, and said that he would drag me into the street and give me into custody. My jacket and dress were almost torn from my body, my hair was torn from my head, and was hanging about my face and shoulders. He took my child by the shoulders and shoved him on the floor, and his head came in contact with the fender. When the girl was saving me from Chapman's violence he knocked her head against the wall and called her a bad name. He then went into the scullery and washed himself, and when he came out was very polite, and said "If you'll not tell, I'll not tell." I told the girl to take the half of a bank note from a book to show Mr. Chapman that I had money. I soon afterwards ordered him out of the house, and told him to go out at the front door, as he came in. He then went out, and shortly after Mrs. Drew came in, and I complained to her of the treatment I received. I also complained to a police man who came, and I afterwards had Dr. Stone to examine me. I afterwards took out a summons. The defendant took out a summons also. His sum mons against me was heard first, but was dismissed. —Cross-examined : Before I came to live in his house I lived at Manchester, in a respectable house, and was my own housekeeper. I was living on my " settlement." I was not then living with the gentleman to whom I had the child. I also lived at Plymouth-road, Chorlton.—By the Recorder : I lived two years in Manchester.—The Recorder : When did you part with your friend ?—Witness : I have had letters from him during these six yea‘rs. I have seen him during that period on business. Cross-examination continued : I came from Plymouth-road, Manchester, to Birkenhead, and lived there in German-terrace. I did not live with my "guardian" in Birkenhe,id. I knew a Mr. Walters. I lived in Birkenhead 15 months, and left on account of my health. I only lived in one house in Birkenhead. I did not know a Mr. Galloway, but he might have called for rent or taxes. I never had any disputes with my land lord in Birkenhead, except in self-defence; but I committed no outrage. One time when there was a flood in my house, and when my property was all destroyed, I went to Mr. Walter and had some words in self-defence, but I cannot recollect what these words were. I was then in ill-health, and could not do much harm to any one. I said I would make Mr. Walter pay for the things that were destroyed ; but that was all in self-defence, for I have no one to speak for me : I am my own master. (A laugh.) Since this occurrence I have not applied to Mr. Walter for a character. When I saw him in court I asked him if he had anything to say against me ; and he said he would give me a character as a re spectable woman who paid my way. He did not say that I was the mos( violent woman he ever knew. I never said to Mr. Walter, " If I had a poignard I would assassinate you." Mr. Chapman lived next door to me in Dunkeld-street. I believe he has a wife and a family—Mr. Chapman says ale is his wife. The walls were not thick between the houses, and during the struggle they might have easily heard in the one house or the other. He had called before in the same way for rent. He had called in once and off,red me £l5O, When the rent was due he had called, but never asked for the rent. My " guardian" sent the money to me. When the de• fendant called at my house on the 20th of June he said that it was the widow he wanted, and not the rent. (Laughter.) He has offered me £lO to go to Birmingham and to the Exhibition. This was a few days before the 20th of June.—By the Recorder— The £lO was to go to Birmingham for a week, and I he told me to leave my child behind me, and no one would know.—Cross-examination continued : The servant came in when I called out twice, and the defendant jumped up from the ground when she came in. I got up also. When I was on the ground I cried out, "Help! help! murder ! min der!" but I could not say how long I was on the ground. I would not swear I was not five minutes upon the ground, for I had not time to look at the clock. (A laugh.) No discussion took place.be ge o theer.t to proceedings, takero pheirs m psl a aa be tween Mr. Chapman and me about the same time the rent was due.

He took her by the hair of the head and said he would give her in charge, Jane Jenkins, a girl in the employment of the prosecutrix, spoke to seeing her mistress, when she heard her cries, on the floor. Mr. Chapman was adjusting his dress. She also spoke to seeing the prosecutrix take the poker and strike the defen dant with it, and the defendant taking it from her and striking her over the back with it. In cress examination, the witness said that she had not spoken to the prosecutris about what she was to say in evidence, and had not been told what to say. Mrs. Mary Drew, of 43, West Derby-road, said that she had been invited to dine with the prosecn trix on the day in question. When she got to the house the prosecutrix was crying, and appeared much excited. The told her of the treatment she had received. _ Dr. Stone was called, and said he was the medical attendant of the proseoutrix. On the day in ques tion be was sent for to her house. He examined her, and found several bruizes on the legs, arm s , and back. Cross-examined—Mrs. Harding was very ex citable, and very liable to get into a passion. The bruises on her arms might have been caused by Mr Chapman holding her. Witness was not a friend of Mrs. Harding's, but had attended her, and she had paid him. If she had not done so he should have summoned her to the county court—that was the only friendship between them. (Laughter.) Had not given her his portrait. (Renewed laugh ter.) Mr. Conway, for the defence, contended in an able speech that the charge was a most improbable one, and urged that a man in the defendant's posi tion must have been insane to havo acted in the way alleged. He commented at length upon the evidence of the witnesses, and said tnat the whole story had been trumped up to injure the defendant by a bad and designing woman. The learned recorder then summed up, and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Not guilty." The verdict was received with applause in court, which was immediately suppressed. FRENCH 7HEATRICALS. (From Galignani.) GRAND OPERA.—Though this is proverbially the dull season of the year in matters theatrical, it is occasionally cheered by an exceptional ray of un looked-for brightness, and as such we must note the debut of Madame Cinti-Damoreau. No lover of music in Paris requires to be told of tha claims of this young lady to take a high place among the aristocracy of musical art. The name she bears is a presage of success, and through all the nervous ness of a first appearance before one of the most exacting audiences we know' , of, every critical ear could discover under the ♦eil of natural timidity, the grace, sweetness, and brilliancy which had charmed the public so many years in the voice and style of her mother, whose name she wisely retains for the stage. The opera chosen was Rossini's " William Tell," in which the debutante appeared as the Princess. The part is not particularly suited for her style, and the agitation arising from her position impaired her power and execution in pas sages requiring the confidence only to be gained by experience, but as we have said, enough remained to assure us that Paris has obtained a " bright par ticular star" which will be hailed with hope and joy by all our rising composers, who had really begun to look with despondency towards the dark ening horizon of the opera. It is scarcely neces sary to add that Madame Cinti was quite successful, but it is gratifying to say that on this occasion the success was perfectly merited ; by no means an in variable sequence at the Grand Opera, GYMNASE.—A sprightly little comedy from the pen of M. A. Belot was brought out here on Tues day, called " Les Maris a Systeme." The author has placed his scene of action at Trouville, where a multitude of husbands and wives annually assemble, from among whom he has selected a couple of wedded pairs as specimens to illustrate the title of his comedy. One, an elderly major retired from active service, whose "system" is that a husband should be obeyed by his wife upon the military principle —that is to say, blind, absolute obedience ; the other is a notary by profession, and his plan is to keep his wife in subjection by the rules of the Civil Code, quotations from which he is constantly citing for the edfication of his better half. Neither of these systems succeed, for both ladies are smitten by a well-looking fellow named Jules Lamuert, and seem but too ready to forget their duties towards their over-systematic husbands in favour of this interesting personage. Their views upon him are, however, thwarted by the presence of a smart, clever, sharp-sighted individual, M. Mequiliet, who sees at once all that is going on, and, playing the rival ladies off one against the other, keeps up the interest and animation of the piece from beginning to end. This character, which is the moving spirit of the plot, is slightly hump-backed, a drawback which does not, however, prevent his win ning the heart of the gentle Mlle. Pau line, whose hand ie the grand prize of this plea sant little piece, which concludes satisfactorily with the prospect of their marriage. The charac ters in this spirited sketch are all well brought out ; that of Mequillet, capitally acted by Landrol, particularly, showing how sense and good feeling can redeem the disadvantages of personal dis qualification. The acting throughout very credit able, and the name of the author was given out with undivided plaudits. VAUDEVILL. Two agreeable novelties have been favourably received here. One, written by M. Boiselot, is called " A Bord du Precipice, being an anecdote of a young married lady, who loves her husband, but somehow also likes one of his friends. Without going into details, the affair has a certain awkward look of Sir C. Cresswell's Court about it, hut luckily before things get to the very worst she sees her danger, and bids her lover adieu, thus escaping the pre cipice. The second is a little piece interspersed with music, entitled "La Volonte de Mon Oncle," in which that pleasant comedian Saint-Germain plays half-a-dozen characters, and keeps the au ' diance in a state of hilarity for a good half-hour, and seconded a hearty reception for the bagatelle. An old favourite "Le Petit-Fils, has also been produced here with some success, but a good piece nd is earnestly called for both by tne manager a the public. PORTE ST. MARTIN.—A drama o f considerable power, though containing little or nothing n ew in brought out the shape of plot or dialogue, has here, called " Andre Rubner," written by M. Tete deux, and well received. or employment , man , Andre, e nt, is on the without means, friend's, °Y when he is dis point of committing a robbery, covered by the man, a traveller, from whom he is This person, seeing about to steal the , p n ro o p t e t r o ty. bend ommon thief, pre the young crimin b al purse, a, with some good sents him with advice, sends him ab s ou p t his business.

This s imple plot would have made a pretty and touching little drama, but, ala s ! t h e author bad written five, or rather six acts! and these must be all filled up. He does this by making Andre marry a young lady who happens unluckily to be in love with a certain Doctor Sandois. She is languishing, and falls so ill that the advice of a physician becomes necessary. Need we add that it is Sandois who presents himself to the inva lid. The lovers resolve upon flight, but a letter falls accidentally into the hands of the husband, who, instead of kicking the doctor down stairs, as he ought to do, generously sets matters right by swallowing poison, so as not to behanloves ob stacle to the happiness of his wife, who e m he e re and to idolatry • Strange to say, tiler!) nac -1 this exe there passages of power and passion the specta erably trashy affair that sensibly tor, and proves that the dramatic talent, had he bu ti t s r of direct it.

A very delightful /etc was held this day, in the grounds of the Crystal Palace, in aid of the funds of the Royal Dramatic College. The company, which was exceedingly numerous, comprised nearly the whole of the dra matic talent of the metropolis. The attendance of non professionals also•was very great. The fancy stalls were of the most attractive description and presided over by Mr s . S t i r li ng, Miss Stirling, Mrs. Alfred Mellon, Marie Wilton, Miss H. Sim ms , Mi ss Amy Sedwick, Lydia Thompson, Miss Cathrine Lucette, Miss Herbert, Miss Herbert, Miss El swort h y, Miss Latimer, Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam, Miss Kate Hickson, Miss Agnes Burdett, and several other eminent ladies. The exertions of the fair saleswomen were particularly successful. The comic element consisted of a thrilling melo-drama of the good old Bartlemey fair times, by Cirujano, M.M.C., author of the "Spanish Girl or the Spy of Naples," &c., entitled "Alfonso and Claudine, the Faithful Spouse, or the Hated Race," illustrated by the real players (metropo litan members of the profession), at Richardson's Theatri cal Show. An original burlesque by H. J. Byron, Esq., and Mr. J. L. Toole's Photographic Estab lishment, in which Mr. Paul Bedford acted as " Developer." We had also a royal Punch and Judy, Works of Eminent Masters Illustrated, and various other attractions, many of which created the utmost merriment. The band of the Grenadier Guards, in addition to the celebrated troupe belonging to the company, performed at different intervals throughout the day. The fete was a complete success. It hto be repeated on Monday next. DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. MEETING THIS DAY. A meeting of noblemen and gentlemen connected with the cotton manufacturing districts was held at noon (by permis sion of the Earl of Ellesmere), at Bridgewater house. There were present the Earl of Derby, who presided, the Marquis of Westminster, the Earl of Ellesmere, Earl Ducie, the Marquis of Hartington, Earl Talbot, Lord Ingestre, M.P., Lord Egerton, Lord Skelmersdale, Mr. Algernon Egerton, M.P., Mr. Leigh, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P,, Mr. Gregson, M.P., Mr. Bazley, M.P., Mr. Cobbett, M.P., Col. Wilson Patten, M.P., Mr. Garnett, M.P., Mr. Hibbert, M.P., Mr. J. L. Ricardo, M.P., Mr. C. Turner, M.P., Sir J. K. Shut tleworth, Sir J. Scarlett, Sir T. Hesketh, the Mayor of Manchester, &c. The Earl of DERBY, having been called to the chair, said he thought the time had arrived when the owners of pro perty connected with the cotton districts were bound to come forward for the relief of the distress which prevailed there, and which was gradually increasing in severity. The object of raising a public subscription we's not to relieve paupers, but to assist those who were still struggling to maintain their independence, and thus to prevent them from being unavoidably added to the list of paupers. He hoped that the appeal now about to be made would be cheerfully and liberally responded to. tColonel PATTEN moved the following resolution : " That the increased distress in the cotton districts calls for increased efforts for relief ; that it is incumbent on those who are connected by property with these districts to take a prominent part in contributing such relief ; that a com mittee for receiving subscriptions to be transferred to such. association for the relief of distress as they may think fit ; and that the undersigned engage to contribute the sums set against their several names." Mr. A. EGERTON, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. The committee nominated included the High Sheriff of Lancashire, the Marquis of 'Westminster, the Earl of Elles mere, the Earl of Sefton, Lord Egerton of Tatton, Sir J. Gerard, Sir J. K. Shuttleworth, Mr. Cross, and the Mayor of Manchester. The CHAIRMAN deprecated the confounding of the object of the meeting with Government aid. Government assist ance should not be resorted to until all other resources had failed to meet the case, and the owners of property were bound to come for ward in this emergency. The following subscriptions appeared in the subscription list :—The Earl of Derby, £l,OOO ; the Earl of Ellesmere, £l,OOO ; the Marquis of Westminster, £l,OOO ; Lord Eger ton of Tatton, £l,OOO (£5OO of it to Manchester) ; Earl Ducie,£loo ; Capt.
