RINEMINf MONEY MARKET AND CITY NE Wis". CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the last few days the dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not been quite so extensive. Prices, however, for most of the principal staples have been exceedingly firm. Sugars, in some instances, have improved 6d. per cwt., and increased firmness has been apparent in the refined market. Coffee has been in more re quest, particularly the finer qualities of Plantation Ceylon, which have' realized an advance of 3d. to 6d. per cwt. The dealings in tea have been limited to immediate requirements without any alteration in prices. Fruit, generally, has been in good demand, and the superior qualities of New Valencians and currants are at higher quotations. Saltpetre, rice, and spices have shown no change of importance in values. For tallow there has been a strong enquiry; prices, however, are a shade flatter. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 615., and spring delivery 61s. to 61s. 6d. per cwt. There was an increased demand for cotton in Liverpool yesterday, and prices exhibited a further improvement of about id. per lb on all descriptions. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales. A further sum of about £43,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The Royal Mail steamer Magdalena, which leaves to-day for the West Indies, will take out £10,651 in gold, and £14,040 in silver. The Mexican dollars by the Seine have been dis posed of at 52s id per oz., but the bar silver has not yet been sold. The money market is in rather an unsettled state as usual just after an alteration in the minimum quotation, but the banks and discount houses still have the command of abundant resources, and the mercantile classes experience no difficulty in ob taining all the, facilities they require for trading purposes. The current rates for the best bills in the open market are 4,7 7 to 41 per cent. ; but accom modation would no doubt be obtainable on lower terms were it not for the possibility of a further upward movement should the efflux of gold con tinue. The market for Public Securities continues ex ceedingly dull, and rather less buoyancy has been app areat, the probability of a further advance in the rate of discount, and the impression that the Bank return this evening will appear unsatisfac tory, having created rather an unfavourable feel ing among the speculators, who, however, have not deemed it prudent to embark in extensive transactions for a decline. Consols are steady at 931 for money, and at 937 2 for December. The New Threes and the Reduced have improved to 91: ; Long Annuities remain at 161, but Ex chequer Bills are heavy at 3s. dis. ; India New Loan is firm at 103 Z-, and ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 95±. Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a fair extent, and prices show a decided improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711 ; ditto New, 571 to 58 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. have ad vanced to 94i ; ditto Deferred to 30 : 1 ; Russian 5 per Cents. to 1051 ; ditto 43 per Cents. to 941 ; but the 3 per Cents. are flat at 62':!-; Spanish have im proved to 498 a ; and Peruvian Uribarren remain at 838. Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 14 2 prem. ; Thames and Mersey, I prem.; and the Universal, 1 i t prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather more active, and a slightly upward move ment has taken place in prices. North Westerns and South Westerns advanced ss. ; Caledonians, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brigh t, Midland, and South Eastern, 10s. n the Foreign Market, South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian improved to 12; and Recife and San Francisco to 9-1-, 94. The Colonial lines have been in limited request at slightly enhanced rates. Grand Trunk of Canada realised 201 211 ; Great Western of Canada 111 1 ; East Indian 100 4 1 ; and Great Indian Peninsula 96-1- Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been very quiet, with no change of importance to notice in values.

The office of a notary, named Tremollieres, a Gimont, department of the Gers, was broken into in the night of the 25th Feb. last, and a sum Of 7,900 f. stolen. The police discovered that the burglary was perpetrated by a band headed by a liberated convict named Hebrard, and they sue ceeded in capturing and bringing to justice all the members of it except that man. They sought for him everywhere, but owing to his skill in altering his appearance, by the assumption of different dis guises, they were unable to find him until the in onth of October last. He w,as three days ago b;c;As ought to trial for the burglary before the Court o Assizes of the department : and though he produced several witnesses who swore positively that on the night of the crime he was sleep ing in the town of Auch, many miles distant, he was convict e d years' ha r d labour. and condemned to twenty was given of the nall An extraordinary account perpetrat e d nio ef,aa robberies d b atc.rkomastblaBt32 yearhe commenced a career o i er f b r b o e up to 1859 he m ries the and bagne bur glaries, and effected escapes which brought on him condemnations a ltogether to 180 years' hard labour .bur amounting 45 years' imprisonment with hardo at the bagne, considerable number of years of simplelabour, and a ment. Notwithstanding this mat3 . of imprison tions, he obtained in 1859 a pardon, in considerationcondemn of his having made important revelations. then took up his residence in the neighbourhoodHe Auch, and promised to lead a honest life; b of before long the police had to arrest him for nt an extraordinary piece of swindling. H. per per suaded a number of ignorant peasants that there were buried in the earth images of p ure gold of all sorts of animals—calves, cows, oxen, rhino ceroses, etc., and that t he y had remained interred from before the Deluge. He represented that by means of incantations lie could discover where these articles were to be found, and he offered, for sums of 100 fr., 200 fr., 300 fr., or 400 fr., to let the Peasants share in them. All the persons who con sented to pay the money he formed into a body, Which he called the Society of the Golden Calf, and he took them to a steep hill in the dead of night, and ranging them in a line , m ade them de scend the hill backwards ; if, he said, the descent could be a ccom pli s h e d without any one of them falling, the spot at which they would ar rive would be that at which the antediluvian trea sure was buried and then by his inc antations he could make the' earth yield it up. B ut unfortu nately the members of the scciety could never effect the descent without a tumble owing p erha p s tothe fact that certain . a ccomp li ce s of the man who took . 4. - , part in it wei.e nmarkable 40, then. unsteadythe 0 movements.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-13ARTON V. DUNBAR. This was an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, in favour of the plaintiff. The Attorney-General was heard for the plaintiff. The testator, by his will, directed his executors as fol lows :—" I beg that the remainder of my money and effects may be expended in the purchase of a suitable present to my infant child." And the question raised was whether the sum of £5,000 was a sufficient sum for this purpose. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decree of the Vice- Chancellor, and dismissed the appeal with costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor Kind ersley. IN RE WINDING UP OF THE IRISH WASTELAND SOCIETY. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Wickens (barrister) applied to his Honour on behalf of a shareholder of this society, whose claim had been disallowed (in the winding up) by the Court, to be allowed to prosecute his claim informs pauper is. Mr. Glasse, Q.C., opposed the application on the ground that no notice had been given to the official assignee. Mr. Wickens referred to the decided case of George 11., Dicken's reports. His Honour ordered notice to be given to the official as signee, and the case to be put in the Court paper this week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERY AT A WATCHMAKER'S.—DOUBTFUL DEIPENCE.—DonaId Thomas Frazer, described as a sailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a timepiece from the counter of the shop of Mr. Constantine Delache, 37, Greek-street, as follows : The prosecutor said on the previous evening a man entered his shop, leaving the door open, and asked to bo shown a watch, and while doing so the prisoner came in, and sud denly seizing up the timepiece from the counter darted out with it. Fearing to leave the shop to pursue the prisoner, owing to there being no one present but the stranger, ho merely went to the door and called " Stop thief," and his landlord pursued the prisoner. The timepiece was of the value of £2, and he was sure the prisoner was the same man. Mr. Geuther, the landlord of the prosecutor's house, proved pursuing the prisoner, and coming up with him stopped him, when the prisoner asked what he wanted, and then after walking a few yards started off again, but was stopped by a constable. He never lost sight of the pri soner, but believed ho passed the timepiece to one of three young men who were standing outside the shop at the time. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prisoner said he was only discharged from Woolwich the day before. He was discharged from the Fisgard, and was out in the Princess Royal till she was paid off. He was a first-class boy. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered one of the officers to look at the prisoner's hands, and he did so, and stated that they wet* very soft, and that the prisoner had evidently done little work for some time past. Upon this Mr. Tyr whitt committed him for trial. THAMES. THE NEw GAS Am.—Mr. Martin Miller, a tradesman, of 50, High-street, Poplar, applied to Mr. Selfe for a sum mons against the Commercial Gas Company, Stepney, under the new act, the 23d and 24th Vic., cap. 125, called an Act for Better Regulating the Supply of Gas to the Metropolis, for refusing to lay on the gas in his house. The applicant said the out-going tenant of the tenement he had hired owed the gas company upwards of £7. He had applied to the company to lay on the gas, and his ap plicatior, was refused, on the ground that the arrears were not paid by the out-going tenant, and that he was in col lusion with that person, which he (Mr. Miller) begged leave to deny. Mr. Selfe said his attention had not been called to the Act before, and asked whether notice had been given in writing to the company to lay on the gas. Mr. Miller replied in the affirmative. Mr. Selfe observed that the words of the act were " wil fully fail for seven days after being thereunto required in writing by the consumer." Mr. Miller said he had given seven days' notice in writing. Mr. Selfe looked again at the Act of Parliament, and said the penalty on the gas company for refusing to lay all pro per communication, service, and other pipes, or to furnish a supply of gas after seven days' notice ,in writing was given was 40s. per day. The applicant was entitled to a summons. The new act is a most important orb for gas consumers, who are no longer at the mercy of the various companies when a supply of gas is refused.

Wynnstay and Athlete made the running, the others going close at their heels, to the first hurdles, at which both Winnstay and Johnny refused. Oncoming to the water leap, opposite the stand, the lot managed to get over in the following order, namely : Athlete first, Topsy second, King William third, Norma fourth, Old Ben Roe fifth, Dr. Leeto sixth, Wynnstay seventh, and Johnny last, the latter nearly falling into the water. On going along the top of the course, Athlete took a lead of several lengths, having for immediate attendants King William, Topsy, Old Ben Roe, Norma, and Dr. Leete, Wynnstay and Johnny coming on the rear. No change of any note occurred until reaching the third fence out of the course, where Wynnstay " cannoned" against King Wil liam, and sent him into the ditch, by which unceremonious procedure the King was at once out of the race. After passing Beecher's Brook, Johnny and Wynnstay, who had repeatedly refused, were pulled up. Along the canal side Athlete still held his lead ; and at the bridge turn Norma bluntlerod, and was stopped. From this point only four were left in the race—namely, Athlete, Topsy, Dr. Leete, and Old Ben Roe. At the last hurdles, in the straight run, Topsy headed Athlete, and ultimately won in a canter by six lengths. Athlete was a wretched third, and Old Ben Roe a worse fourth.

First Lord led, closely followed by Ariadne,Weatherbound, Maid of Chesterfield, and Duneany; Gibraltar and The Prophet (the latter getting very badly away) bringing up the rear. In about 100 yards Maid of Chesterfield went to the front, and carried on the running. On entering the straight, First Lord, Weatherbound, Gibraltar, Duneany, and Horace lay in near company to Maid of Chesterfield. Within the distance First Lord and Weatherbound singled themselves out, and a slashing struggle home ended in a dead heat. Duneany was beaten two lengths from the leading pair. Gibraltar, who ran very unkind, and defied all Daley's efforts to keep him straight, finished a neck only from Duneany. Horace was fifth.

A TRAIN ON FIRE ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.-Mr. J. B. Owen, the secretary of the Eastern Counties Railway, forwards us the following notice of an alarming accident which occurred on that line on Tuesday : —" An oceurre:ace of an alarming description, though happily unattended with personal injury, took place on this railway yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. A composite carriage in tho 10.57 a.m. London via Cambridge down train caught fire on the roof, when within about six miles of the Bra:scion station. Something unusual was observed by the Lakenheath station -master as the train passed that station, and he at once telegraphed to Brandon, where, on arrival of the train, immediate assistance was afforded and the fire extinguished. Ses eral of the passengers in the carriage were much alarmed, but all were, I am happy to say, able to prosecute their journey by the same train, after an interval of about a quarter of an hour. An investigation of the circumstance has been made, from which there seems to be no doubt that the fire originated in the spontaneous combustion of some of the articles in the passengers' lug gage on the roof of the carriage ; a small oil lamp, some cotton shirts, and a fusee-box about four inches long, being among the damaged articles found in the debris." A MURDER CLEAN WASTED.—Tbe San Francisco correspondent of the New York Times, writing in Septem ber last, describes with a keen professional feeling the in jurious restrictions placed on the press in that city :—" To- Clay we are to hang a man, but probably not one in a hun dred of our citizens know it. There bas not a reporter been to see him since he was sentenced. Nobody has asked whether he has made a confession. Having requested that none but the priest and the Sisters of Mercy be permitted to visit him, his request has been complied with. We don't work up our sensations, you perceive, artistically. You remember we let off the same ' Japs' out of whom you sgeezed so much good reading, with only two or three din ners, a few rides, and the dedication of 8 or 10 columns each in our newspapers to their doings. This Whitford, pro ' perly managed, might have been made quite a criminal hero. He owed a street contractor a few dollars, and, not wishing to pay him, called him out of his house one dark night and shot him. The jury found him guilty; the pri soner made a sharp brisk speech for his life ; the judge sentenced him ; nobody asked pardon for him. Not an extra paper will be sold on his account." TIIE ENGLISH IN RUSSIA.—An Englishman can scarcely form an idea of the petty annoyances to which a foreigner is subjected on his arrival at St. Petersburg. He is first required to give in writing a long and circumstantial declaration on a variety of subjects. He has then to under go a personal examination at the bureau of the secret police ; and woe be to him if he falter or make a single false step, or say anything that seems inconsistent with his written, and perhaps forgotten declaration. If his examination prove satisfactory to the police, ho will receive a pass port at the Foreign-office. This precious passport system, now happily abolished by the other Northern Powers, is carried to absurd lengths in Russia; indeed, if you wished to invent a practical burlesque on the principle of pass ports, you could not do better than adopt the Russian plan of surveillance. You cannot legally enter a town, or sleep at an inn, or even spend a night at a friend's house, with out a passport. You cannot change your residence even if you were going to live next door, without first sending your passport to the police-office.—Once a Treek. THE LATE LORD DUNDONALD.—The British Star, the Greek newspaper recently established in London, puts its columns into mourning for the death of the " Phil hellene," Lord Dundonald, and devotes a leading article to his services in the liberation of Greece. Our contemporary says :—" The whole Greek race mourns with the deepest grief for Lord Cochrane,'because with him it lost not only one of its old defenders and benefactors, but one of the few surviving English Philhellenes who are so necessary to us now in our present difficult circumstances ; but little Greece not being now-a-days in a condition to give to the sacred shadow of the gallant man other honours than its prayers to the Almighty for his repose, places him in the pages of history with the Ypselantis, Mavrocordatos, Botsarises, Movromichalis, Byrons, Codringtons, and its other de fenders, and actor= lurel." his portraitw with a simple breach of 1 LEEDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. A meeting of the council of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce was held on Wednesday, for the pur pose of receiving the report of the deputation sent by that body to Paris to confer with Mr. Cobden on the French Treaty, and to discharge other busi ness. Mr. LUPTON presided, and the minutes of the preceding meetings were read by the secretary. From these minutes it appeared that the council had declined to take any action with respect to the proposed Post-office Savings Banks, considering it a social, not a commercial, question ; and that a letter had been received from the Birmingham Chamber recommending a conference of delegates from trade Protection societies and chambers of commerce throughout England, in that town or in London, on an early day, with respect to the bank ruptcy question. The council had expressed its approval of such conference, suggesting London in preference to Birmingham, and recommending the President and Mr. J. Jowitt, jun., as delegates. On this question the PRESIDENT said that Mr. Mor ley, of London, when in Leeds, undertook to arrange with the Attorney-General as to the day on which it would be agreeable for him to receive a deputation to assist him in the preparation of the new bill, which it was understood was to be essentially varied in some points from the last bill. The President added that the Attorney-General had expressed his great anxiety to see some commercial gen tlemen before framing his bill. At a later period of the meeting, a member of the council sug gested whether something should not be done to prevent the bill falling through next session on the same ground as last. He referred to the clause as to non-traders, and said it was evidently a point upon which Lord Palmerston felt that the bill might be wrecked again. He suggested whether the clause might not be permissive, so that the in solvent might petition the Insolvency Court or the Bankruptcy Court. If a person allowed himself to be arrested, then the bankruptcy law might be en forced. The PRESIDENT said it was felt that persons who were not in trade should not be cited in the same peremptory spirit as traders, but still it was im portant to bring all insolvents under the same law, and the difficulty might be met by giving non traders greater latitude. After some remarks from Mr. Bousfield as to the importance of passing the bill with or without the proposed distinction, it was decided that the Pre sident, Mr. John Jowitt, jun., Mr. Bousfield, and Mr. Oxley should be a committee to take the ne cessary action on this question. Mr. SWAN then read the report drawn up by Mr. Wurtzburg and Mr. Birchall, the deputation to Paris, but its publication, except to the members, is postponed until Saturday. It may be stated, however, that the deputation were informed by Mr. Malley that the commissioners had verbally agreed to an ad valorem duty of 15 per cent. on all woollen goods, which it is believed will admit of a large trade from this district. Mr. Emps'im moved a vote of thanks to the depu tation, which was seconded by Mr. Oxley, and car ried unanimously. Mr. WURTZBURG returned thanks, and in doing so said it was impossible to over-estimate the ser vices of Mr. Cobden. His labours were herculean, and, whatever might be the result of this treaty, he was entitled to the gratitude of his country for his devotion and disinterestedness. (Hear.) The attention of the deputation was then drawn to a statement by Mr. Mallinson at a meeting of the Huddersfield Chamber, imputing to the Leeds deputation a desire to favour specific duties. This was emphatically denied, and it was shown that not only had the council in April last, in a commu nication to the Board of Trade, urged a moderate ad valorenz duty of 45 per cent., but that the de putation had done their utmost to obtain the adop tion of the ad valorem principle. The only explana tion of the erroneous impressions under which the Huddersfield gentlemen laboured was this, that at one time it was stated by Mr. Cobden that there was no hope of inducing the French Commissioners to adopt the ad valorem principle, upon which the Leeds deputation said, " Then we must get the specific duties levied in such a manner as will be most advantageous to the trade." They had laboured, however, zealously, and happily success fully, for the ad valorem principle. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. LIVERPOOL 12,10ES—(This Day). BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

CONVERSATION AT THE WARSAW COYFERENNCE. AUSTRIA, RUSSIA, PRUSSIA. (From Punch.) P. Well, here we aro ! A. Is not that remark worthy rather of a clown than a Sovereign ? It. Perhaps he learnt it in England. P. Where, indeed, they are most potent in their plot ting. A. Just so, and does not that consideration suggest that we might as well proceed to business ? P. The question is, how to arrest the Revolution ii Italy ? R. Don't you think we are a little too late ? A. Ah, if you had only prevented, or helped me to win, Magenta and Solferino. R. I was alluding to an earlier omission. Ah, if you had only saved Sebastopol I Certain parties held back then—do they call that backing their friends ? P. What's done can't be undone. Let's change the sub- ject. A. Change the Sovereign seems to be the order of the day. R. Who's seen the Times ? What's the best news' A. Bad is the best—for us. You saw all about young Wales in America. R. Dreadful! Shameful I I say, Austria, fancy a grand 7 son of your own, one of these days, shaking hands and waltzing with the descendants of your revolted Lombards, and standing, hat in hand, at the tomb of Garibaldi. A. He hasn't got a tomb, yet. P. What, do you, too, think him immortal f A. You'll see, if I catch him. Ho won't have a tomb, though, even if he is buried—at the foot of the gallows. P. You saw how Blondin crossed the Falls of Niagara ? R. On a tight rope with another fool at his back. A. I wish he had been that fellow at the Tuileries, with Victor Emmanuel or the other vagabond on his shoulders, and that his foot had slipped and they had both tumbled P. Garibaldi would have been saved even then, if your wishes could bo fully gratified with regard to him—and if there is truth in proverbs he wouldn't have been drowned. R. If Blondin had, what a sight for Wales I But no, they love the people—l may say their species ; for they ara not of us. They have taught their family to truckle to de mocracy—confound them I F. Your Majesty I—l say I—l hope you will remember the connexion with that family which — R. Pardon! of course I wished confusion to them in politics only. Is there anything new at the Opera ? A. I humbly beseech you, proceed to the affairs of State. P. The remark of a rather celebrated Venetian senator. A. Rather of an Emperor who would be glad if you would help him to remain Sovereign of Venice. R. Well, but what's to be done ? You want troops to fight France. Can you pay them ? P. Where's the money to come from ? A. Israel. Those Jews could lend it if they chose. Bu they won't negotiate another loan. I wish the Holy Father had surrendered that young Mortara I R. Suppose we persecute our Jewish subjects? A. We might at least do that. P. No, no, not in these times ; and you would get no money if you did—only drive them and thoir wealth to England—which is sufficiently rich already. A. Rich enough to settle a handsome fortune on a daughter. P. Now, come. I call that delicate. Well, I don't see what we can do. R. Nor 1. A. Humph I Then I can only implore the help of the Saints. R. I wish you may get it. P. What's your opinion of things in general ? R. Well, they really seem at sixes and sevens. A fine October. A. A bright alitumn after a gloomy summer. Let us hope for a change of political weather. P. Oranges are late this year. A. Yes, and potatoes scarce. But that won't affect us Monarchs—that's a comfort. P. When shall we three meet again ? R. This evening, and—by Jove, 'tis time to be off and dress for the ball P. To dance the Polonaise, without, I fear, the assist ance of many Polish ladies. N'importe ! We can be each other's partners at 'Warsaw I [Their Majesties dance the Varsovienne round the table, and exeunt dancing.] A " STEEPLE JACK" FEAT IN SALFORD.—For a day or two past, some workmen belonging to Messrs. Hibbert and Co., th e well-known lighting conductor manufacturers, of Manchester, have been engaged with kites in getting ropes over the top of the steeple and cross of St. John's Catholic Chapel, Salford, for the purpose of some repairs. We understand that the large metal figure of a cock which surmounts the vane is too heavy for its position, and as it was seen that the vane spindle had been somewhat bent by the strain of the weight and the wind, it was decided by the bishop and clergy of tho church to obviate danger from the breaking of the vane and the possible starting of the stone work. Yesterday afternoon, the preliminaries being completed, one of the workmen ascended the beautiful steeple (216 feet high from the ground), and soon made more permanent arrangements for the necessary works. A very large crowd assembled to witness the feat, which although apparently most dangerous and really painful to look upon, has been pretty well proved by experience to be practically safe and very economical. But little will be needed to be done beyond the removal of the figure of the cock; and we understand that the work Kill In coiltiatie4 0-40 Y, BRALFO.RD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The monthly meeting of the council of the Brad ford Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday afternoon at Bradford--W. Ripley, Esq., the pre sident, occupying the chair. The deputation who recently visited Paris on the subject of the French Commercial Treaty presented a report, from which the following is an extract : " The deputation, consisting of Messrs. Behrens, Whitworth, Kell, and Preller, having been sum moned to Paris by Mr. Cobden, proceeded thither, and on their arrival took into consideration a pro posal made on the part of the French Government of the duties proposed to be imposed upon worsted yarns and pieces. After several days' negotiation and anxious deliberation upon the different plans proposed the deputation were informed that the tariff for goods had been settled, though nothing definite could be stated until the signatures of the commissioners had been affixed ; but when the de putation left Paris they had the best grounds for expecting that the duty on all worsted and mixed fabrics of wool and cotton would be 15 per cent. ad valorem, to be reduced to 10 per cent. in 1861. A still more prolonged deliberation arose in respect of yarns. The deputation has ground for believing that mohair yarns will remain as they are—that is, with a penny and a fraction duty per lb. ; that all single numbers up to 25 French count, equal to about 22's English, will be, 25 cents. per kilog., equal to about 1 1-10 d. per lb. English ; and for each number above 25, lc. extra per kilog. Two-fold yarns, not slack-twisted, for tapissierie, 50 per cent. upon the duty for single yarns extra. All double yarns, for tapissierie 50 cents. extra, upon single dyed yarns 25 cents. per kilog. extra. The deputa tion since their return have addressed a letter to Mr. Cobden respecting the practical working of the treaty in as far as the introduction of worsted yarns and goods into France will be concerned, and they have Mr. Cobden's assurance that their sug gestions will be taken into serious consideration." The report concludes thus :—" The deputation fulfil a pleasant duty in expressing their admira tion for the persevering zeal, tact, and good management exhibited throughout these negotia tions by Mr. Cobden, who was ably assisted by Messrs. Ogilvie and Mallet. They believe that the result of these negotiations will be of the greatest benefit to the worsted district. The deputation having thus fulfilled the task imposed upon them, cannot close their report without expressing their high sense of the frank liberality with which they have been met on the part of the French Govern ment. Many powerful interests and deep rooted prejudices amongst our neighbours were opposed to the treaty, but not only were these not allowed to prevail, but in every instance in which the de putation were concerned the French Government have invariably allowed the most liberal construc tion to be put upon the terms of the treaty. Thus this great national compact, entered into with mutual confidence, and now, they believe, only wanting the formality of signature, has been com pleted with honourable fairness, and cannot fail to improve the relations of the two countries by creating and promoting the most intimate com mercial relations between the two peoples."

WAR-OFFICE, Nov. 8. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her in tion to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the under -mentioned officers and soldier of her Majesty's army, whose claims to the same have been submitted for her Ma jesty's approval, on account of acts of bravery performed by them in India, as recorded against their names, viz.:— Major Charles Craufurd Fraser, 7th Hussars (now of the 11th Hussars).—For conspicuous amid cool gallantry, on the 31st December, 1858, in having volunteered, at great personal risk, and under a sharp fire of musketry, to swim to the rescue of Captain Stilted, and some men of the 7th Hussars, who were in imminent danger of being drowned in the river Raptee, while in pursuit of the rebels. Major Fraser succeeded in this gallant service, although at the time partially disabled, not having recovered from a severe wound received while leading a squadron in a charge against some fanatics, in the action of Nawabgunge, on the 13th June, 1868. Surgeon Joseph Joe, C. 8., 78th Regiment.—For most conspicuous gallantry and important services, on the entry of the late Major-General Havelock's relieving force into Lucknow on the 25th of September, 1857, in having during action (when the 78th Highlanders, then in possession of the:Char Bagh, captured two 9-pounders at point of the bayonet), by great exertion and devoted expo sure, attended to the largo number of men wounded in the charge, whom he suceeded in getting removed on cots and the backs of their comrades, until he had collected the Dooly bearers who had fled. Subsequently, on the same day, in endavouring to reach the Residency with the wounded men, Surgeon Jee became besieged by an over whelming force in the Mote Mehal,where he remained dur ing the whole night and following morning, voluntarily and repeatedly exposing himself to a heavy fire in proceed - ing to dress the wounded men who fell while serving a 24. pounder in a most exposed situation. He eventually suc ceeded in taking many of the wounded, through a cross fire of ordnance and musketry, safely into the Residency, by the river bank, although repeatedly warned not to make the perilous attempt. Colour-Sergeant James Munro, late 93d Regiment.—For devoted gallantry, at Secunderabagh, on the 16th November, 1857, in having promptly rushed to the rescue of Captain E. Walsh, of the same corps, when wounded, and in danger of his life, whom he carried to a place of comparative safety, to which place the Sergeant was brought in, very shortly afterwards, badly wounded.

The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have received, from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Minister at Naples, enclosing a copy of a decree, dated the 18th ult., and published in the official journal of that city, of which the following is a translation : Translation. Art. I. From the date of the publication of the present decree, all merchandise arriving from any other of the united provinces of Italy will be considered home produce, and consequently treated as such in Neapolitan ports. The transport of such goods will bo considered as a coast ing trade when carried on in vessels under the national flag. Our customs regulations will, therefore, be applied to the same. The custom houses along the frontier of the Marches and Umbria are abolished. The existing regulations respecting the island of Sicily a ill remain in force until the Italian tariff is introduced there. Art. 11. The duties fixed in the table annexed to the decree of 24th of September last, on the importation and exportation of certain merchandise, will continue provi sionally in force. Art. 111.

At this period of the year, when wrecks are unhappily of frequent occurrence on our coast, it is desirable to give a list of the lifeboat stations of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. They are as follows : E N G LAND—Northumberland—Berwick - on - T weed, North Suederland, Boulmer, Alnmouth, Hauxley, Newbiggin, Cullercoats. Durham—Whitburn, Seaton Carew.

Lifsboat stations aro also being formed by the society at Selsey Bill, near Portsmouth; St. Ives, on the Cornwall coast; Orrue's Head, near Liverpool; Penarth, on the Glamorganshire coast; and at Portrush, on the north coast of Ireland. It is also proposed to form lifeboat establish.. eaents in Cantyre, and at Irvine, on the west coast of Scot land. The following aro extracts from the lifeboat rules of management :—" Each lifeboat to have a coxswain superin tendent, with a fixed annual salary of £B. The lifeboat to be regularly taken afloat for exercise once every quarter, fully manned and equipped, so that the crew may be familiar with her properties and proper management. On every oc casion of exercise, the men are paid ss. each in stormy wea ther or a rough sea, and 3s. each in fine weather and smooth water ; and on every occasion of going off to a wreck to save life, each of the crew receives 10s. by day and £1 by night, and equal shares of any local subscriptions which may be raised to reward any special act of gallantry or exertion. The crew are provided with lifebelts. The coxswain is re quired to keep a list of all the lifeboat stores, which are to be examined once a quarter, in order to their being repaired or replaced, if in the least degree in a doubtful condition. The lifeboat to be kept on her carriage, in the boat-house, with all her gear in her ready for use, except articles which require to be secured from damp. Signals are agreed upon for calling the lifeboats' crews together; and immediately on intimation of a wreck, or vessel in distress, the coxswain is to muster his crew, launch his boat , and proceed to her assistance. The local committee to make quarterly inspec tion, and report to the institution as to the behaviour of the boat during exercise, pointing out any defect that may be remedied, and offering any suggestion that may conduce to the efficiency of the service."

To effectually attain the objects of the • institution it will be manifest that a considerable expen se m ust be incurred ; am ounting, in fact, from to £lOO on the first formation of a lifeboat station, and to an average o f ' £4O annually on the future maintenance of each establish ' ment.

It will be recollected that £2,000,000 sterling have been voted by Parliament for the manufac ture of Armstrong guns, and these £2,000,000 will all be expended by the end of the current financial year. How many guns have wo yet obtained for this immense sum of money ? We are able to answer this question in detail from. information which is, we believe, perfectly reliable. There had been m a d e a t Woolwich and Elswiek together, up to last week, the folio wing Armstrong guns :—Of 100- p ounders 20 in number, of 40-pounders (strengthened) 25 in num ber, 25-pounders 36, 25 pounder boat guns 16 ; 12-pounders, weighing Scwt., 300; 12 pounders, weighing 6cwt., 16; and 6-pounders B—in all 451, of which, it will be observed., nearly the whole are small fi e ldpieces, weighing only 8 1 e ,y r-. each. Now, if of the £ 2 , 000,000 g ranted b y Parliamen.t. he assume that only £ 1 , 500 , 000 are y et s p ent, and furaf assume that of this £500,000 has been expended _lin= plant at Woolwich and Elswiek, thus leaving but 1 uw m : d 7 to be accounted for as the cost of the guns * + anuletureci we then find that every Armstrong gun Ye. w • g sum o f has cost the country no less than the s have neveryet £2,000.
