The traffic on most of the principal railways of the country continues to improve, and the share market is firmer in consequence. At this time last year, with which the comparison is made, however, the American panic had already checked the manu facture of goods for the United States markets, and the pressure being felt throughout the United King dom, the earnings of the various railway companies were seriously diminished. Henceforward the weekly returns will no doubt exhibit a progressive amelioration, if the advises from India, China, Aus tralia, 'and America now report an increased de. mand for English merchandise ; and the recovery on all branches of business is not likely to be retarded by any new political or financial compli cations. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 18.58. Great Western North-Western South-Western Brighton Midland South-Eastern Great Western Lancashire and Yorkshire Bristol and Exeter 6,474 Chester and Holyhead East Lancashire 6,186 Lancaster and Carlisle Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln North-Eastern Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton 4,598 West Hartlepool 3,055 Edinburgh Perth and Dundee Edinburgh and Glasgow Scottish North-Eastern The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices continued to decline. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales. On the Stock Exchange only a very limited business was transacted in Railway Shares, and quotations were without any alteration. At the Public Sales of Foreign and Colonial wool, to commence this evening, it is expected that about 45,000 bales will be offered. The series will be opened by Messrs. Southey and Sons, who will offer 2,465 bales, including 1,006 bales of Cape wool, The effect produced upon the mone y market by the arrangements for the 4th of the month has not been very important, bat the rates continue to exhibit increased firmness, although they still range from a z to I per cent. under the Bank mini• mum. It appears that a large amount of paper will have to be liquidated to-morrow, but the plen tiful supply of money at the command of bankers and brokers will prevent any temporary absorp tion that may be required for that purpose, from stimulating any material advance in the charge for accommodation. During the month, however, a considerable sum has to be paid in connection with loans . and railways, which, together with the in creasing demand on commercial account, usual towards the erid •of the year, may ultimately lead to enhanced rates. Pending the continued absence of vessels from Australia, P. fOrthor.withdrawal of gold from the 13411 k of England• has taken place. The amount sent away yesterday was nearly £170,000, and it is expected that a further efflux will yet be expe rienced. The return from the Bank of England on Friday next will, no doubt, show a small diminu tion in the bullion, but a temporary movement of that kind is of little importance, when the stock of the precious metals is at an elevated point like the present. At a meeting of the Vauxhall Bridge Company to-day, a dividend of 12s. per share was agreed to, for the half year, being rather less than the amount distributed at the last meeting. The - Directors of the Bank of England have 'separated, without making any alteration in their discount regulations. This announcement was fully anticipated, owing to the increasing demand for money and the efflux of gold. The English Stock Market was seriously de. pressed yesterday afternoon, and at the commence ment of business this morning further indications of weakness were apparent. The quotations are now rather firmer, but the fall has not been recovered, and the market is kept in an unfavourable condi tion by the apprehension created among speculators through the withdrawal of gold from the Bank, and the efflux to the continent. Consols have de clined to 971 H for money and the 10th inst., and to 98 for the December account.

At the opening of the market prices, owing to the favourable character of the traffic returns, exhibited firmness, but the downward movement in the English Funds has exercised a prejudicial influence upon quota tions, compared with yesterday. Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, Mid land, North British, and North-Eastern (York) have declined ss. ; Eastern Counties and South -uevon, 10s. ; and Caledonian, and South-Eastern, £ 1 ; South-Westerns have improved about ss. to . 10s.

The house is one to which some interest attaches, from its hav ing been one of the earliest coffee-houses in the City. Haw kins, in his life of Dr. Johnson, states that it was frequented by Garrick, and then the usual rendezvous of young mer chants ; and the poet Chatterton, in 1770, dated from the housea letter to his sister, stating that his then profession obliged him to frequent places of the b es t resor t. The pre mises, which have been shut up for two or three weeks, are held on lease from Earl Cowper for an unexpired term of nine years;at a yearly rent of £l5O, but have been sub-let at £l,OOO a. year.

This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls, refusing the plaintiff, Mr. Ware, an injunction against the Regent Canal Company, restraining them from raising the embankments on the reservoir of the canal and river Trent three feet higher than its natural level, and thereby raising the water in the river, and running it on the plaintiff's lands, and thus saturating and submerging the plaintiff's lands adjoining the river, to the loss, injury, and damage of the plaintiff, without making reasonable compensation therefor, contrary to the provisions of the 4th section of the company's Act, 4th June, 1851—an Act granted to the company to enable them to make certain alterations in the drains and embankments of the river, in contemplation of the company forming a junction with the Grand Junction Canal. Sir Richard Bethel is now being heard for the appellant, Mr. Ware ; and it is probable the arguments of counsel will occupy the whole of this day. ' quence of information received from j Mr. Tyler, she asked the prisoner what she had done with the money she gave her to pay to Mr. Tyler, to which she replied, " I have spent it." She asked the prisoner howl long she had been carrying on her system of fraud, and she said very coolly, " Oh, for a long time past." She had been in the habit of giving money to the prisoner to pay l for the beer for three years. Mr. Tyler's bill against her! amounted to XS 15s. 6d. Mr. Tyler said the prisoner had not paid him for the beer, and that she had brought her mistress in debt £8 15s. 6d. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the magistrate, after expressing his regret that a young woman should have for feited her character and the respect of society at large, sen tenced her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for four calendar months. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Saven o' Clock. SINGULAR AFFAIR-BEATING TO QUARTERS AT QUEENBTO CORK, MONDAY EVENING. Last night, between 10 and 11, the whole neigh bourhood, including Monkston, Passage, and Cork, were aroused from their slumbers by a heavy cannonade, coming from, as it turned out, her Majesty's ship Hawke, GO, Coast-guard ship, Capt. Crispin, which lies at anchor above the guard ship, her Majesty's ship Nile, about midway between Haulbowline Island and Whitepoint. This firing continued for nearly three-quarters of an hour, some imagining that the French had tried to force their way up the harbour, others that the Channel fleet had arrived, and others again that the Eury alus, 51, Captain Tarleton, C. 8., with his Royal Highness Prince Alfred on board, had come in; but none guessed the right reason. Many of the inha bitants of Queenstown thought the Hawke was on fire, and, from fear of the magazine blowing up, left the town. At Cork the firing was distinctly heard by many, and amongst others by Major Stewart, staff officer of pensioners, who reported the circumstsnces to Major-General Eden, C. 8., the Assistant Adjutant-General, Lieut.• Col. Smith, and some other of the military authorities ; but, owing to the firing shortly ceasing, the general ordered no further steps to be taken. At Queenstown the first lieutenant of the flag-ship Nile, Lieutenant Fox sent off a boat with Lieutenant Boger (third lieu tenant) on board, to the Hawke, to inquire the cause of the firing, but on arrival he was warned off. On returning to the Nile, Lieutenant Fox, sent off the same officer to the Admiral, Sir Henry Chads, K.C.8., and to Captain Chads. In the mean time the firing ceased, orders having come through the first lieutenant of the Hawke, Lieu tenant Pickard, who was on shore at th.e time, to stop it. On inquiry it appears that Captain Crispin is absent on duty round the coast. The first and second lieutenants were on shore, and a junior officer, who, rumour says, had been dining out, on finding himself in command, was so impressed with the idea that for a naval port of such importance the ships were never sufficienl on the alert, or prepared for an emergency, t at he thought it would be a good opportunity to beat to night quarters, and to see for himself if the crew of the Hawke, about four hundred s t rong , were on the alert. Of course a strict inquiry will bo made. No officer has a right to fire in harbour without the permission of the senior officers. Many of the sailor's ashore thought the firine , was in Conse quence of the Hawke having received its orders that morning to winter at Bantry ; and several of the Roman Catholics thought it was to commemorate " All Hallow Eve," Captain Crispin being a Roman Catholic. It may be well to mention that some say the second lieutenant was on board, and not ashore at the time. If so, this would exonerate the junior officer. THE HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND SUS PICIOUS DEATH NEAR HALIFAX. On Tuesday, an official inquiry into the cause of the death of Dan Beverley was opened by Mr. Dyson, the district coroner, at the New Delight Inn, Warley, near Halifax. From the evidence of the witnesses it appeared that the prisoners Farrer and Drake were seen in the neighbourhood of the White Bear Inn, Halifax, a few minutes before the deceased left the house on Satuaday night. On leaving, between seven and eight o'clock, the de ceased was much the worse for liquor. Some time afterwards a witness, named Thomas Greenwood, saw the deceased in Pellon-lane, with the prisoner Farrer and another man. Farrer was driving the cart, but the other man (whom Greenwood could not identify) was in the cart, and the deceased was there also, kneeling upon the potatoes, with his head between the legs of his companion. The man in the cart with the deceased then said he would give Farrer ls. to drive to Moor end. [The deceased is supposed to have been robbed at this time, while in the cart.] Farrer drove the cart on till he passed the new church at Pellon, making two or three stoppages on the road. With the assistance of the man riding with him the deceased then got off the cart, and, taking hold of the shaft, went to the horse's head for the purpose of driving home. The wit ness Greenwood, who followed the cart, remon strated with the two men for leaving the deceased, when the one he could not identify observed, " He has scratched my eyes out nearly, in coming with him as far as I have done." The prisoner Farrar and his companion then walked towards Halifax by the same road they had come. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards Greenwood found the de ceased lying upon the seats in the middle of the road, near Sand Beds Lane End, the horse having gone forward without a driver. The deceased said nothing, except that he had not fallen off the cart, and had not been run over. He was then quite helpless, and could neither walk nor stand. The clothes of the deceased were in a disordered state. As early as possible he was conveyed home, where he expired at two o'clock next morning. Mr. Crowther, surgeon, said he had made a post mortent examination of the body of the deceased, assisted by Mr. Peacock, of lialifax. A wound had been inflicted upon the back of the deceased's head, but it was a superficial one. There was great congestion of the brain, and the heart was much diseased. Witness attributed deceased's death to a chronic affection of the heart, inducing congestion of the brain. Rough treatment, a fall, or drinking intoxicating liquors, might have accelerated the death of the deceased. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. The prisoners were taken back to the lock-up at Halifax on the charge of highway robbery. BRITISH POSSESSIONS. I Paid. Closing Bneino Price.

SCOTT AND ROBINSON V. DIXON-THE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BANK. The Attorney-General moved on the part of the defendant, the manager of the Liverpool Borough Bank, for a rule calling upon the plaintiffs to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. The trial took place at the Liverpool Assizes before Mr. Baron Martin, the action being brought by the plaintiffs against the defendant, as manager of the bank, to recover back their deposits, they having been induced to become shareholders on. the faith and truth of a report bearing the name of Mr. Dixon, and representing that the bank was in a flourishing condition, whereas it was alleged that the de fendant knew at the time the bank was insolvent. Thejury found a verdict for the plaintiffs. The facts, which were fully reported in The Sun when the case was tried at Liver pool, bore a great similarity to those of the Royal British Bank. The learned Attorney-General dwelt at some length upon the point as to whether a director was liable for all the con sequences that might be occasioned by a certain report bear ing his signature becoming known. Lord Campbell said if at the time he signed the report he believed it was a true statement, he was not liable. The Attorney-General said the report signed by Mr. Dixon was only for the shareholders. Lord Campbell said that might be so, but it was also in tended for the public. The learned Attorney-General, however, had stated sufficient for the Court to grant him a rule nisi on all points asked for. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Channel, Wat- son, and Bramwell.) BIRD V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Edwin James moved for a rule calling upon the de fendants to show cause why the verdict found for the com pany should not be set aside and a new trial granted, on the ground of misdirection by the learned judge who tried the case. The train ran off the rails in consequence of a quan tity of gravel being placed upon the line by some labourers who were servants of the contractor. The Court were of opinion that the verdict ought not to be disturbed, and therefore refused the rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justicas Williams and Crowder.) The Court was occupied the whole of this morning in hearing the arguments in a case in which the seaworthi ness of a certain ship was mainly concerned. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) THE WILL pk , THOMAS BELFIELD. This was an application for probate of the will of Thos. Belfield. It appeared the testator left Jane Shipley tenant for life, and, at her death, to her children. One of these persons went to America in 1832, and had not since been heard of. After the most diligent search had been made, the conclusion arrived at was that he had died. The pre sent application was that letters of administration might be granted to Hiram Belfield, the eldest male representative. Probate granted as asked. MILLS T. MILLS. This was an application to the Court to fix the mode in which this case would be 'taken. The learned counsel wished it to be taken by affidavit, without a jury.. The petitioner prayed for a separation on the ground of adultery and cruelty. The majority of the witnesses were resident in France, and it was prayed that the Court would direct a commission to issue, authorising the examination of the said witnesses in that country. The Learned Judge said the present application was to fix the mode of hearing the trial, and he thought it ought to be by oral evidence. The application for a commission must be made on another occasion specially. M'KECHNIE V. M'KECHNIE. Mr. M'Queen made an application to the Court to fix the mode in which this case could be heard. It was a notice for the dissolution of a Scotch marriage, which took place between the parties in Ayrshire in 1842. After the parties had resided in that part of the country seven years, M'Kechnie and his wife Went to Birkenhead where the wife met with a man named Menzies, with whom she eloped. The proper notices had been served, but no answer had been put in, and he now wished the Court to fix the way in which the case would be taken. The mother and relatives of one of the principal parties resided in Ayrshire, and they had the greatest aversion to visit London. lie trusted the Court would decide to proceed by affidavit. The Learned Judge said the case must be heard by oral evidence. _ _ . Mr. M`Queen contended that the 46th section of the act was applicable to this case. The Learned Judge said the present application was to fix the mode of hearing the case, and the order of the Court was that it be heard by oral evidence. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before the Senior Commissioner.) IN RE M'GILL. This bankrupt was described as a builder, of Great Coram-street, and to-day came up to pass his examination on accounts prepared by Messrs. Hart Brothers. The details have already been published, and the bankrupt passed. A question, however, arose on a debt of between £7,000 and £B,OOO, alleged to be due from Mr. Bowles who, however, claimed a balance in his favour, but had not complied with an order of the Court for him to furnish an account within a week ; and, two months having elapsed, ft summons was granted calling upon him to do so—that, in the event of the investigation by the official assignee justifying it, proceedings at law might be taken. The summons was granted. IN RE LOGODON. The bankrupt was described as of Hitchin, Herts, car riage builder, and to-day came up to pass his last examina tion. The accounts are in course of preparation by Mr. March, but not having been completed, an adjournment was taken by consent. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK-IN BE H. BROWN. In this case, in which th. name of the bankrupt hag un fortunately been prominent in the affairs of the Royal British Bank, Mr. Brown was allowed to pass his examina tion, the assignees of the Bank proving a debt to give them a locus standi on the question of certificate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day). MARLBOROUGH STREET. CAUTION TO LADIES.—PICKPOCKETS IN REGENT STREET.—henry Connelly, William Sutton, and John Murphy, three boys, were charged with attempting to pick pockets in Regent-street. Police-constable 80 C said that on the previous afternoon a large crowd was assembled round the window of Messrs. Nicoll's, the clothiers, viewing the state liveries of the Lord Mayor, and his attention was attracted to the prisoners, who were very busily employed in trying the pocket of a lady—Connelly operating and the others covering him. After leaving her they went up to another female, when Murphy put his hand into her pocket, the others being close behind at the time. Connelly then left the crowd and walked to the kerb, and looked up and down, but on seeing him coming with a constable in uniform, he himself being in plain clothes, he said to his companions " Cheese it," and they all started off Edward Webb, one of the Mendicity Society's officers, said that a week ago he saw the prisoners Murphy and Con nelly follow a gentleman in George-street, and on his asking if he had lost anything he at first said be had not, but after wards came back and said he had lost his handkerchief. He saw something in Murphy's hand. In answer to Mr. Bingham, Murphy said " he lived no where ; his sister gave him something now and then when he met her." The others had no defence to make. Remanded. THAMES. LARCENY BY A SERVANT.—EIIen Ryan, aged 19, was charged with stealing various sums of money entrusted to her by her mistress to pay bills. Mrs. Ann Mary Siburn, a widow, living at No. 8, Bruns wick-terrace, Blackwall, stated that the prisoner had been her Servant more than three years, and until very recently she placed great confidence in her. She was sorry to say that confidence had been grossly abused. She had been in the practice of dealing with a Mr. Tyler, a licensed victualler, for beer, and giving the prisoner mulicr at different times to pay for. it. On Saturday week she gave the priboner 23. 4d. or 25. to pay to .11. r. Tyler for beer. Yesterday ranra.th i g, in comet TATTERSALLS'-( THIS EVENING.) Very few members present, and very little doing.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. To-day's market was but moderately supplied with beasts, nevertheless, all breeds moved off heavily at a de cline in the quotations realised on Monday of 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected. The show of sheep was far from extensive. Prime Downs sold slowly at Monday's currency ; but other descriptions of sheep were very dull, and 2d per Blbs lower. Although the supply of calves was by no means extensive, the veal trade ruled heavy at 4d per 81bs less money—the top figure being 4s Bd.

We are enabled to announce to-day that a com pany is in course of formation, to be called " The British and Canadian Submarine Telegraph Com pany (Limited)," the object of which will be to con nect the most important British North American colonies with Great Britain by electric telegraph, commencing with that portion of the line between Galway and Quebec, and extending it onwards to the pacific as soon as may be deemed expedient. The company propose that the first section shall commence here, cross the Atlantic to the Straits of Belle Isle, and follow the course of the river St. Lawrence to Quebec. The wire to be used will be of a totally different nature and construction from any hitherto employed, and the whole arrangements will be such as to secure its being successfully laid. The advantages that must attend the establishment of the line, being, as it will, independent of any foreign power in the event of war, cannot be too highly rated, and the communication with New York and other parts of the United States via Quebec, will make but a few seconds difference between this and the unfortunate line now lying inert in the Atlantic, supposing it were in operation. It is also to be borne in mind that Quebec is already in telegraphic communica tion with the whole of our North American colo nies as well as the States. From improvements al ready made known in the mode of constructing and laying submarine telegraphs, together with most im portant ones introduced by the company's engineer (whose experience ha s. extended over many years, both in this country and America), it is estimated that, with a capital of £750,000, a telegraph, con taining six to nine conductors, can be constructed and laid down from Galway to Quebec, including and in twenty all expenses. The probable return upon this outlay of £750,000 may be calculated as follows :—At the it is present known rate of aNtvoifi. wires et increased only r s e Ml as e s transmission on c ( lotth-nheN convey lines h, ll words each per hour, t b hi el s ieN• nl of a tye ben company),messagesedly sixty hours 1,200, which for 300 days 360,000 ; and allowing £20,000 for only, gives working ex penses, and £50,000 towards a relaying' fund, there would remain £llO,OOO for a dividend, or near l y 1 5 per cent. upon the capital.-•G 9I4)aY Vindicator.

Our professional readers will find an important paper by Dr. Civiale on lithotomy and lithotrity in this week's Comptes Rendus. Among the other contributions we find a paper by M. Partiot, on the origin of eddies, which he explains as the result of the waves passing over shallows, and of the swell ing of the tide ; a paper by Dr. Montucci, in which he announces the discovery of a new method for solving equations of the third degree, and com municates certain methods of his for abridging numerical calculations in such additions. These consist chiefly of small tables, by one of which he performs three operations at once; he forms a square, multiplies it by three, and substracts it from a given number. He further gives a process for effecting divisions and extractions of the square root to any extent, and with any number of figures by the aid of the common table of logarithms, with seven deci mals. Also a report on a paper by M. Leon Sou beiran, on the poison of the viper and the organs which secrete it. M. Dumenil, the reporter, states that M. Soubeiran has chiefly turned his attention to the glands which secrete the poison, and to the excretive conduit. These glands had hitherto been but imperfectly studied, owing to the diffi culty of separating them from the strong aponev rosis which covers them ; M. Soubeiran has em ployed a chemical process to soften and render it transparent ; the compound which he has used is tartaric acid, and with perfect success ; the glands and vessels being distinctly visible in his dissec tions, even without the aid of a magnifying glass. M. Calliburces communicated his researches on the effects of caloric in determining the contraction of certain organs, and the description of an apparatus for measuring these effects with precision. It con sists of a phial in which the membrane to be exa mined is subjected to the action of warmth with moisure. A small glass cylinder is placed on the membrane, which imparts a rotatory motion to it with the borders of its epithelium ; a dial-plate ex ternally marks the number of revolutions performed by this cylinder.

AND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE REV. MR. NIXOX., A numerously attended meeting of magistrates, landed proprietors, and gentlemen connected with the county Donegal was held on Saturday at Letterkenny for the purpose of devising means for bringing to justice the miscreants who at tempted to assassinate the Rev. Mr. Nixon. The meeting was considered private, and the only part of the proceedings published is the fact that a reward of £5OO was agreed to be offered for the conviction of the perpetrators of this foul outrage. Amongst those present were Lord George Hill, Lord Lifford, Sir James Stewart, Bart. ; Sir Edmond S. Hayes, Bart., M.P. ; Sir Robert Ferguson, Bart., M.P., and thirty other magistrates of the county. A private letter, dated from Heathfield on Sunday last, says :—" The Rev. Mr. Nixon is progressing most favourably, and the doctors have pronounced him almost out of danger. He cannot of course be moved for some time. The doctors are most attentive and kind. One of them remains in the house. The poor sufferer cannot speak, his tongue is so injured by a slug having gone through it. One of the bullets lodged in the bonnet of his daughter, who was with him at the time of the attack." The Daily Express, commenting upon the meet ing held on Saturday, observes :—" Not a scintilla of evidence was forthcoming, nor was any other step taken to produce it on a future occasion (save the raward lamed of £500). It appears to us strange that after all the experience we have had in Ireland of this sort of agrarian Red Indianism the gentry of the disorganised dis tricts have hit upon no strictly legal plan of thwarting the brute cunning and ferocity of the country savage. Surely it would be easy for the unmarried young men of the higher classes in such neighbourhoods as that of Gweedore to concert and carry into practice such measures as would cause the blood to curdle in the churl veins of such cowards as could attempt to assassinate an elderly and unarmed man at the very side of his wife and daughter. Can no society be formed in Donegal which, while it rendered agrarian outrage impos sible, would be free from ojections usually urged against Orangeism ?" THE FORGERIES AT WIGAN. On Tuesday morning John Pollard, proprietor of the I Wigan Examiner, and also of the Collier y Guardian, publi s h e d a t C rane - cour t, Fl ee t- s t reet, London, was brought up, on remand, at th e Wi gan Police-office, on a charge of forging certain scrip transfers, and of tampering with other documents connected with the Wigan Union Benefit Building Society. The magistrates were J. Ingram, W. Park, and I. C. Leach, Esqrs. Mr. Milton said he appeared on behalf of the Wigan Union Benefit Society, and he had then to ask for a further remand, as they were not in a position to enter into the case as fully as they could wish, in consequence of the books being in a much worse state than could have been antici pated. They might go into one or two cases, but he hoped the bench would think it best to remand the prisoner for another week, when they would be able to lay before them evidence such as to warrant his committal on several charges. An accountant from Manchester had been going through the books but had not yet completed his investigation. He could not mention the extent of the defalcations, as they were not quite certain as to the correct ness of the figures. Mr. Marshall, on behalf of the prisoner, said that he had io objection to the application. He had to ask the magistrates whether they would ad mit the prisoner to bail, as they had the power to do so ; and if they thought fit they had only to name the sum. Mr. Hilton certainly could not agree to that. He thought the magistrates ought not to admit him to bail, as a:very considerable amount was involved. He thought that under the circumstances, and until there had been an investigation as to the number of the cases (for there were a great many), the prisoner ought to remain in durance. If this were not the case the ends of justice might be defeated. The Bench stated it as their impression that they were hardly justified in taking bail. A further adjournment to Tuesday next was then agreed to, Mr. Hilton considering that it would be that time before they would be able to lay a complete account before the magistrates. Since the examination on Tuesday last the com mittee have been engaged in making an examina tion of the books of the society, which they found in such a disordered state as to take a considerable time before they could report upon them. Up to Saturday evening it was, however, confidently as serted that, as far as the examination went, the total amount of forgeries and defalcations was near £1,400, several hundreds more than was at first anticipated.—Manchester Guardian. CHERBOURG ; ITS ADVANTAGES AND DEFECTS. The real requirements of a military port and arsenal are building space, facility and power of equipment, and harbourage, either as shelter for a fleet, as a station for its preparation, a starting point for its operations, or a depot for its reserve. In building space Cherbourg exceeds any one of our great dockyards. It has altogether eleven building slips, all available, and within a certain concentric distance. Building space does not, how ever, imply building power. The great dispropor tion betwixt the space, the construction, and the edifices, and the activity, the work, the artisan power, evident therein, is one of the most striking and noteworthy features of Cherbourg. In the work shops and the docks, along the quays and arsenals, in the stores and the bureaux, there is nowhere evi dent that movement and action which characterise our own yards. This may be said to be caused by a greater concentration of means and a better orga nisation of labour. The great flux of man-power and the great masses of material so associated with our notions of a naval arsenal arc wants which cannot, however, be reconciled with a great resource of means, or a great command of artisans. This build ing power is a point, however, which need concern us little. We have outbuilt ourselves—could, with the aid of our mercantile yards, outbuild all the navies of the world. For equipment and repairs there are seven docks, and the bassin-de-jiot might be made entirely available for fitting or laying up vessels. We come next to the harbourap. Accord ing to some English authorities, 60 ships of the line might lie in the three basins. This, however, is an over-estimate, at least, if they are supposed to be rigged, equipped, and ready for service. The French say 38 ; but even this number, if all ataunto, would be very crowded and difficult to move. And here appears the great deficiency of the port. There is no intermediate space, as in our harbours, betwixt the basins and the roadstead, where vessels, when despatched from the docks, might have a spacious and sheltered rendezvous, and where those in re serve might float secure, and ready for future need. Our fleets at Spitbead or in the Sound might, if necessary, run into the harbours of Ports mouth or liamoaze, and find sufficient anchorage, without disturbing one of the hundred hulks lying there, or in any way interfering with the fair egress and ingress of the docks. This could not be done at Cherbourg. If the basins were made a depot for a reserve, they would no longer be available as a harbour of refuge for a fleet, if the rade should from any circumstance become un tenable ; and if kept a fors a t s l t i a a t t ion pu f r o i r ios a e n , aCchtie,r,e bourg could only be used fleet and as a building port, and could never possess a relay of ships which, when one squadron had started forth, might be fitted and despatched in reinforcement.—Blackwood. STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, Nov. 3d.—The hosiery trade is still in a healthy condition, and a fair business is trans- acting at the warehouses. Confidence appears to be perf e ctly res t ore d, an d most branches of the trade are in a satisfactory state. Material continues high in price, without any sign of diminution. NOTTINGHAM, 3d.—The lace trade remains in very dull state, and manufactures do not look for any material change until after Christmas. There is very little doing in the warehouses, most branches partaking of the depression. Manufacturers are prudently abstaining from purchasing stock. Tho hosiery trade is still buoyant, both as respects the shipping and home departments, and prospects of a continuance are cheering. All good workmen aro fully employed. Material (both milk and cotton) remains firm. MANCHESTER, 2d.—More favourable advices as to the new cotton crop, which some estimates c a rry as high as 3,700,000 bales, have had the effect of inducing buyers to withhold orders for cloth this morning. At the same time less favourable reports of trade from Calcutta have had a depressing effect on business hero this morning, and sellers have made a concession equal to about 10. per piece on longeloths, T cloths, shirtings, and other fabrics. A decline of id, per lb. on yarns, and which is general on all kinds, has led to a fair business, th e p r incipal . purchases being for China and Germany. For the home trade very little has been done. There have beenl,some moderate secs of cloth as well as yarn, but the market, on the whole, is reported to be ii4t.
