CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed very firmly, and prices of all descriptions tended upward. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 2,000 for export. The Rtilway Share Market manifested a steady ap pearance, and quotations were fully maintained. The amount of gold taken from the Bank yes'er- g day was only 11,0001., but the return which will be 8 published in the Gazette to-morrow evening is expected to show a large falling off in the bullion, the withdrawals during the last week or ten days 1 having exceeded a quarter of a million sterling. It has chiefly been appropriated to the purchase of silver, which is in demand at firm prices, although the state of the Eastern exchanges remains without alteration, and there seems nothing to justify the impression that remittances on a large scale will be resumed. When the gold, known to be Coming from Australia arrives, the temporary deficit caused by the recent efflux will, no doubt, be made up, unless the adverse movement should be accelerated, and this seems scarcely probable, seeing that the continental de mand continues quiet. Ihe Bank of France having a superabundance of precious metals, does n , ,t re• quire supplies from this country, and it is only at periods when t',e authorities there open contracts for large quantities of gold, that any serious dis turbance in connextion with the specie movement is experienced. There is a moderate demand for discount accom modation, and the brokers find increased employ ment, but the general terms remain without any material change. _ . At the Vauxhall-bridge Company's meeting, to day, a dividend of 12s. per share was declared. Renewed buoyancy is perceptible in the market for English Stocks, and the settlement has pro ceeded satisfactorily. Some moderate purchases have been made for investment as well as on specu lation, and although the movement in prices has been limited, the tendency is very favourable. Consuls for transfer have been 97i ; mid for June 2, 971 and 97i 98. The New Three per Cents. are 9Gi 4, and also the Reduced India Loan Deben tures are 1001 The March Exchequer Bills, 40s. prem. ; and the June ditto, 355. to 38s. prem.

Parrodi, after his defeat at Salamanca, bad capitulated at Guada lajara on the 233 of March, which would probably lead to the pacification of the interior and the adhesion of the army to the present Administration. Although this seems to put an end to the government of Senor Juarez, Vera Cruz still bell out, and Tampico was besieged 'when the packet left. No Minister of Finance bad as yet been appointed. The agents in Mazatlan had shipped 2,245 dole. by H.M.'s s'aip Magicienne, which reduced the balance remaining in Mexico to about 3,460 dole. Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been Lather more active, and quotation have advanced.

The Attorney-General showed cause against a rule obtained against Mr. T. Daniell4, an attorney, carrying on business at Amersham, Bucks, to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls of the Court. The in formation, whieb was an affidavit, alleged that Mr. Danielle had taken money from clients before he was ad mitted, for serviJes rendered as an attorney, and also for misconduct in reference to certain estates he had the management of. Proceedings had also been taken against him in the latter case in Chancery. As the inquiry involved an investigation into accounts of a very complicated and intricate character, and had reference to charges under investigation in the Court of Chancery, the matter was referred to one of the Masters of the Court, with full power to investigate the charges and report to the court.

ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDEN. Mr. Pashley, Q. 0., obtained a quo varranto under the following circumstances. In April let an election for churchwarden took place at Ackworth, in Yorkshire. The rector was in the chair and nominated his church warden. The parishioners present proceeded to the election of a second churchwarden. Mr. Roberts was proposed, and also Mr. Wade. The rector took down the names of the parishoners present and how they voted. On adding up the numbers, he found 66 had voted for Wade, and 28 for Mr. Roberta, and he conse quently declared the former elected. Afterwards Mr. Roberts said he should hold a poll to-morrow at Lauen, Ackworth, which be did, and was elected. He then went before the Archdeacon, was seiorn in, and acted, The question was the validity of his election, and if the poll had been properly demanded. Rule granted. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolis ) HAGGARD V. MACKENZIE-JUDGMENT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judgment in this case, said that the question to be de cided depended solely and entirely on the state of pos. session of the goods in dispute. The facts of the case appeared to be these :—Messrs. Campbell and Co., of Glasgow, were anxious to extend their business to London, and with that view they took premises in London, and appointed the plaintiff salesman and manager at a salary of 1001. a-year, consigned their goods to him for sale, and afterwards became bankrupt. The plaintiff claimed a lien upon the stock of goods consigned to him for cash advances for indemnity of bills and promissory notes gsanted by him in carrying on the business of the company. The assignee in bankruptcy clairsed the money drawn for the sale of the stock for the benefit of ;,he creditors. His Honour was of opinion that' Messrs. Campbell and Co., never parted with the legal possession of their goods, that the goods were only consigned to the plaintiff, as their salesman, f6r sale, and that he had no preferable claim upon the goods for his advances, whatever claim he might have against the company's estate. The labours of the coroner and jury, who have so frequently assembled to investigate the cause of this melancholy catastrophe, have now come to a close. The following is their verdict : "That the members of the Smith family (except Richard Smith, the younger) were found dead in the ruins of a certain house ar.d premises which had been destroyed by fire, and that the deaths were caused by the mortal effects of certain poisonous fumes and common Rood smoke produced by the paid fire; and the jurors aforesaid further say, that in what part of the house and premises aforesaid the said fire originated, and fey what means the said fire was caused, they have found it to be impossible to discover. " That William Hedger, the younger, was found dead in the ruins of a certain house which had been destroyed by fire, and that the death of the said William Hedger, the younger, was caused by the mortal effects of suffo cation by smoke produced by the fire aforesaid. "That Richard Smith, the younger, did die from the mortal effects of fracture of divers of his ribs, caused by his falling from a certain house when it was on fire, and placed his life in danger therefrom." To the foregoing verdicts the following presentment of thejury was added-- '• In returning our verdict we feel that it is our duty to state that the owner of the house No. 20, Gilbert street (Mr. Taylor), was guilty of great and culpable neglect in not making a brick wall between the said house in Gilbert-street and Mr. Calvert's show-room ad j ; and we are of opinion that the following altera tions should be made in the laws relating to the con struction of buildicgs and the management of fire-engines as explained in the very able and valuable official report of Mr. Marsh Nelson, the architect appointed to inquire into the melancholy accident, viz. : " 1. The amendment of the Building Act, to prevent the erection of houses such as was lately the house No. 20, Gilbert-street. "2. The amendment of the Common Lodging-house Act and the Nuisances Removal Act, to prevent the overcrowding of rooms such as were occupied by the unfortunate families of the Smiths and Hedgers in the said house. "The amendment of the Metropolitan Local Manage ment Act, to prevent the streets being obstructed by horizontal shores, or struts such as delayed the approach of the fire-escape on its way to the late fire. " 4. The amendment of the unrepealed clauses of the old Building Act, 14th of George 111., cap. 78, so as to create for the metropolis a fire brigade and fire escape establishment independent of private or parochial con trol—the funds being already provided for by the said act. " 5. That the Act of the 10th Vic., cap. 17 (Water Supply Consolidation), be amended so as to provide for an ample supply of water in case of outbreak of fire. "6, and finally. That provision be made by law, in conformity with the suggestions of Mr. Nelson, to place in connection police-stations, fire engine stations, fire escape ladders, and the supply of water in case of fire ; the whole of such establishments throughout the metro polis and its suburbs being rendered instantly available for the public service in case of necessity by means of the electric telegraph. " The jary cannot terminate their painful inquiry without expressing their feelings rf admiration of the praiseworthy conduct of John Curie in assisting the Eastwood family to make their ti;cape." MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) His Honour made a declaratory order for payment of the money drawn for the sale of the stock to the official assignee, and dismissed the bill without costs as against either party, but the costs to be paid out of the common fund, as this was a fair and proper case to he brought bef.re the Court. DIVORCE COURT. (Before Sir C. Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.) AIMITAGE V. ARMITAGE AND M 'DONALD -DIVORCE FOR ADULTERY. Mr. Pullen applied for leave to award the petition in this case, which was a suit for divorce on the part of the husband, on the ground of adultery b y th e w if e ; an d also for the Court to hear toe ease on affidavits and not on oral evidence, and without a j ury. Th e p l a i n tiff brought an action against the correspondent (Colonel M'Donald), in the Court of C maroon Pleas, and ob tained a verdict. Notice had been given to the wife, but she did not appear. Notice had also been given to Colonel M'Donald, who had entered an appearance. Dr. Deine, on the part of Col. M'Donald, assented to the application. The Court assented. CONFLICT WITH _REPELS ATAZIMGHU.R. (CITY•) OOLONZL MILLUAN TO BRIGADIER GORDON OJMMANDING AT SEMLER& Camp Azimgbur, March 22: Sir,—l have the honour to report, fir the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that in con sequence of a communication received from R. Davies, Esq., magistrate of Az‘neghur, I marched from Camp, Koelsa, about 3 a.m., on the 21st instant, and proceeded to Attrowleea, so as to arrive at the latter place at day light, with 96 rank and file of her Majesty's 37th, oue 24-pounder howitzer, ene 9-pounder, 22 European grin ners Bengal Artillery, and 140 Madras cavalry. luformation had been received that a considerable body of mutineers were in the neighbourhood of Attrowleea. I found them posted in several topes of mangos trees, and I advanced with skirmishers thrown out in front, the guns being supported by a party of her Majesty's 37th Regiment, and the Madras Cavalry on the flanks under Colonel Curnbelege. We fol lowed them as they retired for some distance, when shortly atterwarda they were driven into the open coun try. The cavalry were then enabled to act, and cut up a few of the rebels ; but the g-ound was so very marshy and unsound for the horses that the pursuit could not be continued. Lieut. Welsh, however, by sending a shell right in the mid-t of them, completed the discom fiture of the rebels, who quickly dispersed among the neighbouring trees. After this I continued my march to Lorha, which place I reached without any further oc curence, and set the village on fire. Having effected the object for which I set out from Koelsa I quietly marched back to Attrowleea, The men were halted in the neighbourhood of this village in topes of trees, and breakfast was being prepared by the cooks, when news was brought in suddenly that the rebels were ad vancing in great force. 1 proceeded with some skir mishers to ascertain their strength, and found them strongly posted behind a mud wall in the midst of topes of trees and sugar canes. I then sent back orders for the troops to advance ; but the number of the rebels in creased so fast, and they covered such a large space of ground, that both ray flanks were threatened. Accord ingly I took up my Positioe on a rising piece of ground slightly in my rear ; the rebels attempted to turn my left flank and I withdrew into and through the village of Attrowleea, at about 1! olio and moved slowly on Kotilsa, my flanks and rear being covered by the cavalry. The rebels, though they followed and fired at a distance the whole way, never inflicted the ilightest damage. Finding, on my arrival at Koelsa, that the camp was threatened, and that the whole population in the district was disaffected, I despatched a iquadron of cavalry, sup ported by a small infantry picket, to watch the rebels. They were quickly charged by the cavalry and suffered a heavy loss, 21 dead bodies being counted on the field besides wounded. Information was, however, received that a large body of rebels, estimated at about 5,000 men, were advancing on the camp. This created such a panic amongst the camp followers that many of the hackery drivers left their carts, and all the companies' cooks ran away. - Under those circumstances, and taking into consideration the position of my camp, which was very untenable in case of a night attack, and that no supplies or liquor of any kind whatever could be obtained for the men, I judged it expedient to retire on Aziinghur, which I reached safely this morning. In making this movement, I regret to say that owing to many of the hackery drivers having run away as I pre viously stated, I was compelled to leave a few tents and some baggage behind. The loss of the rebels, I judge, must have been some 70 killed. The ca,ualtiee on our side were very trifling : two gunners grazed by bullets; one trooper, 4th Madras Light Cavalry, severely wounded, an d one sower mor tally so (since dead). Nothi ng cou ld excee d t h e s t e adiness of the troops under my command, and I must particularly mention the able a ss i stance of Colonel Comberlege, 4th Madras Li g ht Cavalry ; of C a pt a i n Polly, comman din g elah ? detachment of her Maj es ty' s 37th Regiment; of L ieutenaut Bengal Artillery, for precision in fir in g and moving his Rena on bad ground.

Sir Charles Eastlake's " Good Samaritan," and Sir Thcmas Lawrence's "Portr a it o f Sic Valter Scott," are the chief engravings in the current number of this valuable serial. The s I , j -et of the first is not treated entirely to our tase, either as regards poetic conception or artistic detail ; how ever, it is a fine picture, and constitutes a fair spe cimen of Sir Charles Eastlake's style of pa'ntino.. Lawrence's portrait of Sco`t is, unquestionably, the very best we have of the Great Magician. There is a higher torte of spirituality and rneetal expression developed in the face than we find in any other portrait of him. Most of the likenesses convey a notion of stolid imperviousness or heavy abstraction, and fail to individualise the mixture of benevolence andintelligencewhich radiated through the plain and somewhat rugged features of Sir Walter. The picture before us is among the hap• piest of the great painter's efforts, and represents the "Genius of Romance" with refined and fitith i ful accuracy. The statue of Thom'ts Moore, by his namesake, C. Moore, is nicely engraved by Roffe. The numerous vignettes and sket_iliFs sew tered through the work are of a vet y interes ins class, including Pope's Villa, Pope's Monument, and Strawberry Hill, accompanied by descriptions from the clever pen of Mrs. S. C. Hall. The general information connected with the fine arts, and criticisms on the present exhibitions, evince the usual ability displayed in the management of this journal. We extract the following sensible remarks from an article on the Royal Academy the Royal Academy were well instituted at the period of its creation, its institutions must for that t X press reason be ill suited to the wants of the present time. If it were ri g htly s h a p e d t o th e A r t con diti ons amid which it saw the light, it can have no due adjust. ment to the Art conditions which surround a, d appeal to its maturity. The very theory cf its perf-ction ninety years ago, must, interpreted according to the mere letter, be the theory of its insufficiency to day. "I'o say, merely, that the constituency fora rational institution which shall be an adequate embodiment and representation of the Fine Arts amongst us at the pre sent time is, at the least, six times as large as that out cf which the Royal Academy originally issued, is to give a very incomplete expression to the amount of the i,- terests now pressing for representation by means of such an institution. The mere numbers of the artists who constitute the true Art body of the nation now, and who should therefore form a part of any institution which affects generally to incorporate our artiste, is—as we shall shortly have to show—a part only of the facts in the case, —though a part of itself sufficient, ifehere were no more, to sustain the argument for a new solution ee the Academy question. When first it was felt expedient to give academic figure, and something like means of corporate action, to our native arts, the number of artists thought necessary to compose an academic presence of sufficient dignity and consistency was obtained,—and that, not without difficulty, and some delay,—only by admitting complimentarily into the body two classes of persons who are excluded from membership to-day,—foreigners and females. It may be questioned much, whether tee age was ripe for a native Academy of Ares which could not find amongst the body of native artists a sufficient number of members to constitute such Academy. Ba that as it may, however,—out of the thirty-,ix Academicians whom alone it was found passible at the beginning to get together towards the full number of forty which was the appointed figure of the young insti tution, nine were recruited from the ranks of foreign artists—without seeking to include in that category its future president, the American, West--; nd two, Mary Moser and Angelica Kauffman, belonged to what we apprehend is considered (though we are not quite cer tain whether the modern exclusisn be formal or merely casual), the non-academic sex. Toe exclusion of the foreigner from a native Academy of Arts—except under some system of honorary attache-.ship, to be inc - eTorated into its new and enlarged constitutions, when we g: t them—will be recognised at once, we apprehend, us a sound principle. The exclusion of female art, where it can make its title to admission good on all otbt r grounds than that of the artist's sex alone, we ho,)e to see either justified on some argument which for ourselves we fail to discover, or abandoned as resting on no good argu ment at all. There are, our readers know, some strange motives operating, avowedly and otherwise, as the basis of action in this Academy ; but we fancy that even a:, institution which appoints its professors not to profess, and gives its annual dinner as a sort of picture trade sale, would yet hesitate to -uggest the alliteration as a reason for placing the female in the cat gory of the foreigner. We should not, however, Lice to assign a limit to what some of the older and less apprehensive members of the Academy would do in the direction of the whim.ical. Bey, even if it should be finally deter mined, that the higher rank of the Academicianahip is a senate, and its members must wear beards—and, on business grounds, a; .d some other grounds of very sound policy, there is sufficient argument why this should be so—we can yet see no avowable reason for refusing the properly-constituted claim of the lady artist to associ ateship, when the Associates' door shall have been opened, as we hope to see it, sufficiently wile to let in the body generally of the profession."

It is true we meat with au article eutitled " Plotinmt, and the Neo-Platonists ' " which is sufficient to afford employment to the most mystical of Ger- raaus ; but its very name will warn the uninitiated, and prevent them from trusting themselves in its mazes. " The Future Government of India," which rival politicians appear to find as perplexing as MM. Vacherot and Simon's history of os ticism Neo-Platonism, and Alexandrian Scepti cism," will at least affor,i more pleasant leading; and the notices of new books, forming the topic of articles, give an:agrceablevariety. The criticism on Mr. Reade's poetical works has some very just oh snlrations on the importance of rhythmical harmony in verse, a truth which is very much neglected among our spasmodics and other new schools. It is true tbat the reader is often too thankful if he ar rives at the meaning at all, to be very particular as to the way he travels by, though that has oftener more resemblance to .the macadamised roads of modern times than to the velvet slept s of Parnassus. It is curious that the p:ssession of a fine rhyth mical ear does not seem to be dependant on an car for music. " Coleridge could not stutter through a stave of a tune, yet his verses are the most melo dious in our language. Even Robert Burns, whose songs were rocked into their flowing shape under the spinning, whirring impulse of the time to which they are set, could with difficulty distinguish one tune from another in his boyhood, while (al the other hand, Robert Browning, who is famed for his musical talent, glories in the most rugged and uncouth metres in his poems."

We are glad to find this valuable serial Will maintain its character. A knowledge of mechani cal science is so extensively necessary among our artisans that those who are' not directly employed in the science will find it one of the most useful things to acquire. On the other baud the numer ous amateurs and men of science who cultivate this branch of knowledge in its widest extent, and most elevated aims, must find a work of this kind, in which they can compare the reuilts of their owu experience with those of others, or feed in some novel application of an old principle a solution of their difficulties, of very great service to them. The ' advantages it offers as a channel of communication for scientific men is another recommendation, and information is given respecting the topics of the day which are in any way 'connected with the sciences it treats of. The eclipse of the sun, the late launch of the Leviathan, the submarine tele graph, are discussed and commented upon in its pages. The principles on which these operations are conducted, the difficulties attending the me chanical processes, and all similar information, is recorded.

" Castilla has at last taken Arequipa by storm, on the 7th inst., not, however, without a severe loss. The narrative of the battle is terrific; an eyewitne , s states that the blood ran down the bar ricades in steams six hours after the fight ; that the r Batallon de Ayacucho' defending the barri cades, and said to be 600 strong, were all killed, with the ex•2ept ion of 40. " The Apurimac, Arauco, and Lambayeque sailed yesterday to Callao, to be delivered up to the Government. Her Britannic Majesty's steam sloop Retribution also left yesterday for China • the Ganges, with Admiral Baynes on board, and the United States sloop of war Merrimac, are expected to pay us a visit shortly. - "Callao, March 27. "The last act of the Castilla and Vivanoo revo lution was concluded on the days of the 7th and Bth of this month by one of the most sanguinary battles ever fought in South America ; and Castilla is now master of Arequipa. Vivanco, with a few friends, has retired to Bolivia. Toe loss on both sides is over 2,000 killed, and the city is filled with wounded. The general impression is (owing to so few medical men being in Arequipa) that tLe loss of life among the wounded mill be large for want t.f proper attendance ; it is proposed to stud down by this steamer a large staff of surgeons to render assistance to the few that are there. Whoa the news first arrived none believed it, for Arequipa has always been considered impreg nable; but whatever doubts- there might have been in the matter they were soon dispelled by the arrival of the:frigate Apurimac Captain Mon t To, for the purpose of submitting her to the Government, Captain Montero and General Rive., however, dictating their own terms which have been accepted by the Government, and by which they agree to respect the property and guarantee the liberty of all officers, soldiers, and seamen engaged on the Apurimac ; that those who wish to leave tie country may do so at their own leisure ; that the pay due to the soldiers and seamen shall be paid by the Government ; the frigates Apurimac, Peytania, and Huaras to be delivered under inven tory by the present possessors to the Government." It was rumoured at Callao that General Castilla intended to push the war into Bolivia, probably'to place his friends Cordova or Belzu at the head of affairs in that country. Business was very dull at Callao. Ther• were • great many American ships in the bay seeking charters, but the rates were so low that they would not accept them. Next to the excitement caused by the news of the fall of Arequipa was the arrival of the Unit-d States' frigate Merrimac, which was daily crowded with visitors. The ship Lizzie Thompson and the bat k Georgina were still held as pr"z•?st, and would probably be sold. From Valparaiso dates are to the 16th of March. Considerable excitement existed in the Republic of Chili r garding the coming elections, the Conser vative and Liberal parties having joined their in fluence to oppose the Government candidates.

THE S`JIITH AMERICAN REPUBLIC►& UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. Yesterday a presentation of degrees, dre., at this University took place at" Burlington house, Piccadilly. Lord Granville,.the Chancellor of the University, presided, and there was a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen. After a report had been read by the regiqrar, detailing the progress of the University during the course of the last academical year, Lord Granville addressed the company. He alluded with satisfaction to the re sults which had been obtained from the establish ment of the University of London,.. a nd .expressed his opinion that some part of the increasing atten t on given to the education of all c4imesmith last few years, and which bad led to g reat improve in the meut, was owing to the impetus given by that Unie versity. He believed that a new epoch was open to the University, and that a eon; us future was reserved for it. The noble lord, referring to the extension of the honours of the University to those who had not heretofore eujoyed them,. said, the Senate had not been actuated in the slightest de gree by any want of respect to the cause of public* education in this country. They might sometimes pick out a man who had distinguished himself in life who had not done so at the Univer city ; but, on the other hand, men of high classical honours might prostitute their talents to the worst pur poses. lie could say that out of 13 scholars no less than seven had risen from the middle class to the peerage.
