1 11102V - E.Y .11.4.a.K.E2' AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocit. The Bank of England return, completed to the 24th October, shows no material alteration. The bullion has been slightly diminished owing to the increased demand for coin for circulation in Scot land. There is an augmentation in the reserve of notes of about a quarter of a million sterling. The increase in the demand for money, owing to an impression that the minimum rates was likely to be advanced has caused an addition of nearly half a million to the other securities, both the public and private deposits have been considerably aug mented, and the return generally may be considered of a satisfactory character. The various items and the changes they present are shown in the sub joined table : Active Circulation .. • • Decrease .. .. • • Bullion .. .. • • Decrease .. •• • • Rest .. . • • • Increase .. • • • • Public Deposits . • Increase .. • • • • Other Deposits • • • • Increase . • • • • • Seven Day and other Bills ..

At the Bank of England yesterday there were no bullion operations of public interest. The Saxonia has arrived from Now York with £20,800 in specie. A call of £5 per share, amounting to £250,000, is due on Monday next, the 29th instant, on the Madras, 4th Extension, Railway shares. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness was moderately active, and prices were steadily supported. The sales were about 8,000 bales. The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the nine months ending the 30th Septem ber have just been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom for the above period have been £101,724,346 against £98,037,311 in the like period of 1849. showing an increase of £3,687,035. The increase is most perceptible in cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, earthenware, linen yarn, machinery, salt, silk manufactures, British spirits,sheep and lambs wool, and woollen manufac tures. The importations of the principal articles have been larger as regards live animals, cocoa, coffee, wheat, flour, raw cotton, fruit, leather manufac tures, provisions, spices, unrefined sugar, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs' wool. The shipping accounts exhibit a slight decrease in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the nine months for the entries inwards ; but for the clearances outwards there is an increase of 327,303 tons. In the coast ing trade for the like period there were 455,940 tons more employed for the entries inwards, and 520,968 tons for the clearance outwards than they were in the previous year. Increased business is apparent in the Market for Public Securities owing to some speculative sales. Farther withdrawals of gold are anticipated, and the movement it is thought will precipitate an ad vance in the rate of discount. Consols are 923-, for money, and the Bth inst., and 921 93 for the De cember account. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced have declined to 911 9 ; Bank Stock has improved to 232 ; India Loan is steady at 1021 103 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is heavy at 95 ; Exchequer Bills remain at 2s. dis. to 2s. prem. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to about £157,120, and the exports to £178,310. Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a mode rate extent, but prices in some instances have slightly receded. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 70 to 704 ; ditto New, 55 to 551 ; and the 4 per Cents. are heavy at 1012; Mexican, at 222; Spanish Deferred, at 392-, ; and Venezuela, at 22 : 1 ; Brazi lian 41 per Cents. remain. at 88.1 ; and Sardinian are firm at 858. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 1 y to 2 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, prem. ; and the Universal, a 2 prem. Business in the Railway Share Market continued dull, and the few transactions entered into were at slightly reduced rates. North-Western, South- Western, and Midland declined 55.; Great Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, - 10 s. ; and Bristol and Exeter, £l. The Foreign lines remained very quiet. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian realised 111; and Great Luxemberg, 64 4. In the Colonial Market Grand Trunk of Canada decline to 231 24; and Great Western of Canada to I'4. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have barely maintained former rates. Union of London declined 55.; and Canada Land ad vanced 10s. BRITISH FUNDS-CLOSING PRICES. __ _ _ Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

On the whole there is every sign that our dealers will find, as on former occasions, that they have hitherto undorreb:,d the extraordinary capability of the United States to send us supplies. In other respects there is no importcnt intel ligence. The money-market remains easy, specie is accu mulating, and confidence in the restored railway traffic is well maintained. The formal completion of the first sec tion of the Atlantic and Groat Western line, which is ulti mately to connect the Erie Railway with the entire networarail of the west and south, was to t a k e p l ace on The y lst o f next month. According to the New York Tri &tile the remain der of the work is bein g ra pidly pushed, and, "so far as fi nished, it has been well don e in every re spect." GOLD COINAGE IN AMERICA.—The experiment of a small gold coinage in America appears to have ended the dollar pieces were first intro unsatisfactorily. duced, shortly afteli%:tnheenCalifornian discoverte ,, they wer eagerly sought in . all quarters and since that' period th e e Off at the various mints has value of the quantity struck amounted to an aggregate of L 3 ,60 0 ,00 0. But they arr, at now so unpopular fromgteheir smallness that they pour rapidly back into the hands of the Government toll a c t ors • and the Secretary of the Treasury has just ordered 1600,C00 worth to be remelted and converted into i double eagles. It is expected, therefore, that no more will be issued. They are especially annoying, it is said, to the Custom-house and Sub-Treasury officials, since, whenever any amounts are exchanged, they must be collated one by one, the facility with which they can be counterfeited and tampered with rendering it unsafe to determine their number by weight. , IRON-PLATED SHIPS.—On Wednesday e venin g Admiralty issued letters to the following iron -shi p building firms, calling on them to send in tenders on or before the sth of November for the construction of two iron-cased frigates, viz. :—Messrs. Samuda, Messrs. West wood, Baillie, Campbell, and Co., and the Thames Yard Company, all of London; Messrs. Napier and Co., of Glasgow; Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead; and Messrs. Palmer, of the Tyno. These two new ships are to be as nearly as possible similar to the Warrior, now in the course of building. The ship which it is intended to construct at Chatham dockyard will be also of the same class.—Army told Navy Gazette. SERIOUS 13oILER EXPLOSION.—About one o'clock Yesterday afternoon three men were seriously injured by the explosion of a boiler, in the waggon shop of the Lan cashire and Yorkshire Railway Company's locomotive works, at Miles Platting, near Manchester. The boiler was ono of a pair of 30-horse power horizontally fixed. Each i s a b out 23 feit long and 6 feet diameter, and manu factured by the company. The one which burst (both ends _giving way) was the one nearest the engine, which was j 118 i 1 ug stFrted aniz after tae Mauer hour, ;SHARE 31ARKET.-(TILLS DAL) ORDINARY SHAitES AND STOCKS. 8 8i 78 80 ni 12i 6 7 93 95 91}O1 ~. - 6 6 61i „ i A Closing Business F• 14.• I Price.

FAILURE OF A BANS-IN RE DAVIE. This morning commenced preliminary proceedings in the matter of Davis and Co., bankers, of Shoreditch, who stopped payment yesterday afternoon, the docket having been struck this morning. Considerable consternation has been created in the neigh•. bourhood, as most of the local tradespeople banked at this house, and were alarmed at the presence of a piece of paper containing information of the stoppage placed upon the door. It is believed that the parish of Shoreditch will be suf ferers, and two or three names are mentioned as being " in for it" to some amount. Of course, until the accounts are filed the position of the bank will be merely assumed for the present. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TIII 8 DAY.) ____,o,- BOW-STREET. WA.Telt ROBBERY•—A young man, named Hall, was placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a gold watch. The prosecutor, Mr. Gordon, said on Saturday last he was in the Strand, between four and five o'clock, when the Scottish Volunteers came marching out of Adam-street. A great number of persons were attracted by the sight, and ho like the rest stood for some time looking at them. Just as he was about to move away he heard a click, and imme diately after looked at his waistcoat pocket, when he saw his watch guard hanging out of it, minus the watch, which a short time before he knew was attached to it. He looked round and saw the prisoner, who finding he was observed ran off, but before he had proceeded a hundred yards a policeman stopped him, and the watch, which he valued at £5, was found at his feet. The police constable who took Hall into custody having given his evidence, The Magistrate asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge. The prisoner declined saying anything. He was fully committed for trial. UNLICENSED HACKNEY COACHES.—WiIIiam Raiment, who diti not appear, was summoned by the officers of the Inland Revenue for running a certain hackney coach with out having a license to do so, whereby he had rendered him self liable to a fine of £2O. Mr. Dwelly, solicitor to the Board of Inland Revenue, said Raiment had a certain form of license for running one hackney carriage in the metropolis, lust it did not enable him to send the vehicle without the usual radius. The hackney carriage in question (No. 6,571) was seen on Epsom racecourse on the Derby day, and also at Maulsey Hurst on the occasion of the last Hampton races. Raiment could not by the terms of his license send the carriage to either of those places without he had taken out the formal license, or a special one issued for certain days, neither of which he had in his possession. An Excise officer, named Bovill, proved the foot of the haskney carriage, No. 6,571, being on Epsom Downs on the Derby day, and another officer, Geo. Balls, proved that the carriage was at Hampton Races. The magistrate said it had been clearly proved that the proprietor of the vehicle did not possess the requisite autho rity, and he should therefore fine him £5 for each offence, that being only one quarter of the fine he had the power of inflicting. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EARLY MORNING IN THE HAYMARKET.—Three fast looking young men, named Chas. Martin, 56, Brunswick terrace, Hyde-park, engineer, Charles James John Beck, 119, High Holborn, and Sidney Hodgson, Walbrook, were charged—Martin with being drunk and assaulting Sergeant Kay, 293 A, Beck with being drunk and attempting to rescue Martin, and assaulting Fisher, 334 A, and Hodg son with obstructing the police. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for Hodgson. From the evidence of Sergeant King it appeared that about two that morning he heard a great noise in the Hay market, and on proceeding there found a large crowd as sembled round the Anglesey Hotel, at least 200 persons, and the defendant Martin lying on his face. He assisted in picking him up and putting him on his legs, and as soon as he had done so he struck him in the face, and got his legs entangled with his (the sergeant's) so that they both fell, in the fall he (the sergeant) spraining his thumb. The other defendants then became very violent, said they were if he should take Martin, and in consequence of their violence he was obliged to take Martin into custody. While doing so the other defendants came up, and so ob structed him that Martin got away, and after a chase round a brougham, he again secured him, and gave the other defendants over to two constables. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the sergeant said he did not s t r Oce Martin in the face. A gentleman said, " Who is beating that man so," and some one said it was 293 A. There was' a very large crowd of persons assembled at the time. Fisher, 334 A t confirmed the sergeant in most particu lars, and said taking on Beck into custody he kicked him on the legs, and it took four constables to take him to the station on the stratcher, he being very drunk. Martin said he would admit he was drunk. The Sergeant said they were all drunk, but Hodgson not so much so as the others. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was in hopes he should not have seen Mr. Beck's young face again (he was ()barged at this court yesterday) when he discharged him the previous day. He should now fine him 20s. or a month, and the next time a month and no fine. With ropect to Martin, who seemed to have suffered a good deal by fading on his face, he should fine him 10s. or 14 days, and HodgsOn he should discharge, and he hoped none of them would comp into the court again. 1 The defendants seemed to have suffe r e d considerably in the mate. TILE RUSSIAN NOTE TO SARDINIA Prince Gagarin, the Russian Minister at Turin, before quitting, communicated the following note to Count Cavour : St. Petersburg, Sept. 28 (Oct. 10). Mon Prince,—Since the preliminaries of Villa franca put au end to the war in Italy a series of acts contrary to right have been accomplished in the Peninsula, and created there the abnormal situ ation of which we now see the extreme consequences developing themselves. The imperial government, from the commencement of this situation, considered it a duty to call the attention of the Sardinian Go vernment to the responsibility which it would take upon itself if it gave in to claAgerous impulses (dan gereux entrainemens). We directed our friendly representations to it at the time when the revolu tion of Sicily began to receive from Piedmont that moral and material euoort from which alone that movement could have tako the proportions it at tained. In our estimation, the ques tion exceeded the sphere of local com Plication: a. It directly touched upon the principles admittej as a rule of international relations, and bad a tendenCT to shake the very basis upon wh i c h rests the au . i.ho:ity of established governments. We accepted with a:eP regret the motives alleged by Count Cavour, which did not allow him to oppose more efficient obstacles to these intrigues (menees), and we took note of his disavowal of them. By this its attitude the impe rial government feels convinced that it gave the court of Turin a sincere pledge of its desire to keep up good relations with the said court ; but it also thinks it has given sufficient hints of the resolutions which would be forced upon his Majes!v' the Empe ror on the day in which the Sardinian 6,:nrernment could allow itself to be influenced by those in;nuises which the feeling of its international duties had till then induced it to repudiate. I regret to say that these resolutions could now no longer be adjourned. The Sardinian Government directed its troops, in the midst of profound peace, without any declaration of war, without any provocation, to cross the frontiers of the Roman States ; it openly came to an understanding (a bargain or compact —il a poetise) with the revolution at Naples ; it has sanctioned its acts by the presence of Pied montese troops, and that of high Sardinian func tionaries, who were placed at the head of the in surgent forces without ceasing to be in the service of King Victor Emmanuel. Finally, it has just crowned this series of violations of right by an nouncing, in the face of Europe, its intention to accept the annexation to the kingdom of Piedmont of territories belonging to sovereigns who are yet in their own States, and who there defend their authority against the violent attacks of the revo lution. By these acts the Sardinian Government no longer allows us to consider it as a stranger to the movement which has upset the Peninsula. It takes upon itself all their responsibility, and puts itself into flagrant contradiction with the right of nations. The necessity it alleges of combating anarchy could not justify it, since it only throws itself on the path of the revolution to gather its heritage, not to arrest its progress and repair its iniquities. Pretexts of this nature are not admis sible. This is no question merely of Italian inte rests, but of a general interest common to all Go vernments. It is a q uestion of those eternal laws wi could existthoutwhich Europe.socia l order, no peace, no secu rity His Majesty the Emperor deems it impossible that his legation should any longer reside where it may have to witness acts which his conscience and convictions reprove. His Imperial Majesty is compelled to put an end to the functions which you fulfil at the Court of Sardinia. It is the will 1. of our august master, consequently, that upon seeing these instructions you should ask for your passports, and instantly quit Turin, with all the personnel of the legation. You will inform Count Cavour of the motives of this supreme decision, and read to him the present despatch, leaving with him a copy of it. Receive, mon Prince, &c., M, le Prince Cittgarin, &c.

The Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain, Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, and Turkey, desirous of establishing, in conformity with the intentions of their respective Courts, the true character of the assistance afforded to the Sublime Porto by the provisions of the Protocol signed this day, the feelings which have dictated the clauses of this Act, and their perfect disinte restedness, declare in the most formal manner, that the Contracting Powers do not intend to seek for, and will not seek for, in the execution of their engagements, any territo rial advantages, any exclusive influence, or any concession with regard to the commerce of their subjects, such as •could not be granted to the subjects of all other nations. Nevertheless, in recalling here the Acts issued by his Majesty the Sultan, the great importance of which was esta blished by Article IX. of the Treaty of March 30, 1856, they cannot refrain from expressing the valuo which their re spective Courts attach to the fulfilment of the solemn pro mises of the Sublime Forte, that serious administrative measures should be taken to ameliorate the condition of the Christian population, of every creed, in the Ottoman Em pire. The Plenipotentiary of Turkey takes note of this decla ration of the Representatives of the High Powers ' and undertakes to transmit it to his Court ; pointing out that the Sublime Porte has employed, and will continue to em ploy, her efforts in the sense of the wish expressed above.

Prince Alfred's progress through the Eastern Province,fthe Free State, and Natal was well ar ranged, and everything passed off satisfactorily] The Prince everywhere met with an enthusiastic re ception which made a good impression °tithe nativesi Mosliesh came out with a great company to meet his Royal Highness. Sandilli, chief of the Gaikas, and twelve councillers, came down with the Prince in the Euryalas to Capetown. The inaugu ration of the breakwater, the sailor's home, and public libraries, with the accompanying festivities, were all brilliant affairs. The Euryalus, with the Prince, left the Cape on the 19th ult., St. Helena on the Ist, and Ascension on the 4th inst. All well. She was to touch at Sierra Leone and the Cape de Verdes. Her Majesty's shins Forte and Wasp were in Table Bay. The Sidon left for Simon's Bay on the 22d ult: Admiral Keppel was still on his Eastern cruise. The Wasp had been ashore, and everything ex cepting the guns was thrown overboard. She was going to Mauritius for repairs. Political affairs had been at a standstill since the Prince's arrival, but were expected to become ani mated after his departure. The Governor was going to Kaffraria and would make it a separate dependency. A strong feeling adverse to a responsible Government was evinced in Cape Colony. The Postal Money Order System had not been introduced, but it was much desired and expected. The South African Turf Club had petitioned the Queen for an annual Queen's Plate. Business at the Cape was very inactive. Several failures had taken place. The money market was very tight and getting worse. It was said that if no remedy could be found commerce would be sadly crippled. The Colonial Finance Returns were satisfactory. The income was £45,000 over the last corresponding half year. Her Majesty held a Council at half-past 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Present—The nine° Consort, the Lord Chancellor, Lord John Russell, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, the Right Hon. Sir C. Wood, the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, and Viscount Castle rosse, Vice Chamberlain. A proclamation was issued for the election of a new peer for Sectland in the room of the Earl of Leven and Melville.

A d epu t a tion of th National Guard at Mons went to Quievrain, the frontier town, to receive them, and acco m p anied them to Mons. When they reached that place they were received by the vice-president and a number of th e members of the Rifle Society, and by a band of music. Tho former national delivered a 1 complimentary speech, and the latter performed the air. They were afterwards taken in procession to the Town Hall, escorted by a legion of the National Guard and a de tachment of the civic artillery. There they were conipli- mented by the mayor, and, in the businessof the town, wine was offered to them. In the evening was generally suspended, and a subscription ball was got up ; m9reover, the public and coffee-houses were all to remain open all night. NPLOSION.—bout 1 o'clock S ERIO US BOILER E yesterday afternoon three men were seriously injured by the explosion of a boiler in the waggon-shop of the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Railway Company's locomotive works at Miles Platting near Manchester. The boiler was one of a pair of 30 horse-power, horizontally fixed. Each are about 23 feet long and 6 feet diameter, and manufactured b the company. The one which burst (both ends giving way/r was company. one nearest the engine, which was just being started after the dinner-our. The men injured are James Garner I(storekeeper), 62; Charles Matthews (fitter), and Henri Sutton (iron turner), 28, all severely bruised and scalded M a tthews hav in g a compound fracture of the left thigh in addition.

The power to dissolve the marriage tie, which is by many considered a sacred engagement, and justly so, was vested in three judges, but it appears that the business of the Common Law Courts prevented the attendance of the requisite number, and the consequence ohas been an accumulation of arrears.

It will be soon seen whether a single judge should be em powered by law to dissolve the solemn engagement of marriage, whetherisuch a dissolution should not require mature and anxious deliberation. No doubt expedition in law is to be desired, but in such matters of consequence deliberation should be the governing principle. again AUSTRIAN PREPARATIONS. —The warlike pre parations of Austria, on the line of the Po, says _La Prescen.! * are becoming more and more menacing. The most re ana intelligence announces that a corps of b etween 40,0 nero. 0 ° 6 0 ,400 ULM is camitrataci Intwcen Optiglia 11414 Ai TEE CONF. T If 4.RSAIT. A letter fron4o\ATarsaw, dated 23d October, says : " The representation given yesterday at the town theatre was very brilliant. Among the spectators, besides the Emperor and his guests, nearly all the foreign diplomatists were present, and numerous general officers of every branch of the service. " Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and M. de Gruner, the Prussian Under Secretary of State, scorned to attract the greatest attention of the curious. Those two diplo matists conversed together in a low voice during the whole of the representation, without once look ing towards the stage. M. de Gruner, who is a distinguished diplo matist, is far advanced in liberal ideas, and is not supposed to entertain much sympathy for Austria. After having boldly advocated a liberal policy in 1848 he was obliged to leave the Ministry under Manteuffel, but was recalled by the Regent. It may fearlessly be expected from such a man that he will remain true to his principles, and not lend his name to any transaction detrimental to the policy followed by Prussia either in the East or in Italy. " As you may suppose, we are all herein a state of feverish excitement, for every one considers that in a few days th 3 question of peace or war' will be decided. Men reason thus :—Either Austria will obtain the support of Russia by making consider able sacrifices, to which i she seems willi ng as re gards the East, and then n another fortnight war will have commenced on the Mincio ; or, the liberal opinions of the Prussian diplomatists will prevail, and Austria will be obliged to cede to the united pressure of Russia and Prussia. Allthe wishes are on the reasonable side—that is to say, opposed to the Austrian policy. It is especially the very strong party of Prince Gortschakoff, who stands higher than ever in the confidence of the Czar, that does not desire an alliance with Austria. "The Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria arrived here this afternoon. The Emperor Alexander, the Prince Regent, and his brother the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, and all the official world, were at the station to meet him, and a guard of honour and. band of the regiment of which he is nominal Colonel were drawn up. As the train entered the station the band struck up the national Austrian air. The Emperor Francis Joseph wore a Russian uniform, the Emperor Alexander mid the Prince Regent of Prussia wore Austrian uniforms. As the two Emperors drove from the station, sitting side. by side, they were slightly cheered. "Last night Count Kisseleff, the Russian Am bassador at Paris, arrived here, and the 'Prince of Hohenzollern, the President of the Council of Ministers at Berlin, is expected. He has been telegraphed for to his castle in Switzerland."
