The arrival of shipping from all quarters is still delayed by the continuance of north-easterly winds, and it is supposed that there is a larger fleet of home ward-bound vessels at the entrance of the Channel than has been known for many years. The Admiralty will probably send out steamers with water and provisions without further delay, to relieve the dis tressed, as, in consequence of their long detention at sea, some of them have no doubt exhausted their supplies. Conspicuous among the list of vessels overdue is the Agincourt, with £283,100, from Vic toria, which has already been out 116 days. Others, however, have been equally retarded, 70 days having in several instances been occupied in the voyag e from St. Helena. The cause of the delay is so obvious that comparatively little anxiety is felt among underwriters, consignees, &c., and we believe the statement that the rate of insurance on the Agincourt had risen to £5 ss. is erroneous, 30s. to 40s. still being the current quotations. A change of wind, if only for a few days, would enable a considerable number of ships to come in, including two or three from the antipodes with large amounts of gold, which in the present state of the specie movement are awaited with some anxiety by spe culators and others. Accounts from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices tended upwards. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. The Railway Share Market presented a steady appearance, and quotations were unaltered. There is very little activity in the Money Mar ket, the increased demand lately experienced having partially subsided. It is stated, however, that the commercial requirements of the country cro becoming more extensive, although, as com pared with periods of prosperity, they are still con siderably below the average. The Indian Loan has now been fully subscribed, and a large propor tion of the Turkish Loan has also been paid. The removal of liabilities has, to some extent, relieved the market, and the result is a diminished inquiry, and a pause in the upward course of quotations. At present the public do not seem inclined to en courage new undertakings unless of a superior class, with a high rate of interest secured. This keeps in abeyance a variety of projects, the promot ers of which have been waiting anxiously for some time past fora favourable opportunity to bringthem forward. Several of the schemes lately introduced have not been so well received as might have been anticipated, which, together with the depreciated value of many guaranteed securities at the Stock Exchange, will naturally have the effect of check ing this description of enterprise. The next financial operation will probably be the long ex pected Chilian Loan ; but as the amount is under £1,500,000 its influence upon the floating capital law awaiting employment will not be very im portant. The delay in the negotiations arises from the high price which the Chilian Commissioner, Senor Ochogavia, asks for the 41 per cent. S took, in which it is proposed to raise the amount. It is said that 90 for every £lOO stock has been offered and refused, and it is presumed that arrangements are suspended until fresh instructions arrive from the Republic. Looking at the value of other 4 per cent. securities, the offers made are certainly high enough, notwithstanding the financial credit which Chili has enjoyed of late years. In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteration. About £68,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday, being a portion of the re mittance brought by the Lincolnshire. A very limited business has been recorded in the English funds to-day, speculative operations, as 'well as bona fide dealings, being confined within very narrow limits. Consols have been. 971-' 98 for ntoney, and 98 to 981. for account ; but they have since improved to 98 981 and 981 respectively.

LAW INTEL. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) Ai?PEAL.-STEEL V. STEEL. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) WHITECHAPEL COUNTY COURT. FORGED NOTES-IMPORTANT CASE - SA,MUELS T. THE COMMERCIAL GAS COMPANY. Mr. Beard appeared for the plaintiff. The action was brought to recover the sum of £5 good and lawful money, in lieu of a forged £5 note taken from one of defendant's collectors. Plaintiff stated that the collector in question called for his account, £3 10s., and plaintiff paid him a £2O note, and received in return with the other change the counterfeit £5 note, the subject of the present action. That forged note was paid to a person named Abrahams, and by him paid into his banker's. It Was returned from the Bank of England marked forged. The collector said that ho did not give plaintiff the note in question. Plaintiff paid him by cheque, and received the balance in gold and silver. There was no name of the collector on the back. A gentleman named Bumpstead, clerk in the Bank o$ England, was called, and proved that the note was a forged one. Mr. Beard said, upon the evidence adduced, the prepon derance was in favour of his client, and he should have a verdict. His Honour said plaintiff had sworn positively that he took the note from defendant's collector, vho in the hurry of business might have omitted to put his name on the back. Verdict for the plaintiff, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAPTURE OF NOTORIOUS FOREIGN THIEVES. —Three foreigners, named Theodore Vincent, Joseph TeHon, and John Desire, were charged with stealing a parcel of valu able books from the shop, andi the property of, Mr. Wzn. Boone, bookseller, 29, New Bond-street. Horsey, 224 A, said that on the previous evening, about six o'clock, he saw the three prisoners in. New Bond-street, Tirion having a cloak and something under it, both of which he passed to one of the others, and they all three then went into the Globe public-house in South Molton street, and on his looking through the window he saw them sitting at a table examining some large books, now pro duced. Two of the prisoners afterwards having exchanged a part of their attire, they all three came out, and having seen him, started off into Oxford-street, walking very sharply. Ho followed and took Desire into custody on suspicion of stealing the books, and on asking whit he had got, he said, " New book—me take to Baptist Noel." Seeing that they wore not new books, he took them into custody. Mr. William Boone, the prosecutor, said the books pro duced were his property and were taken from his shop, where they were placed tied up in a parcel. Two of the prisoners (Tirion and Desire) had been in his shop early in the evening and asked for a French dictionary, and he (prosecutor) had occasion to go to the extreme end of his shop, and thus afforded an opportunity for the books to be taken. Mr. Albert, having read over to the prisoners the evidence in French, the prisoners through hini said they had nothing to say. Sergeant Rogers, of the C division, was in attendance to prove convictions against sonic of the prisoners. The prisoners were remanded till Wednesday next, when they will be committed for trial. . _ Terion has suffered 12 months' imprisonment for a rob bery at a jeweller's shop, on which occasion ho threw snuff into the eyes of the prosecutor, Mr. Jacobs, of Pimlico, besides other terms of imprisonment. Desire has also only just come out of prison. It is expected that other charges will be preferred against them. THAMES. ROBBERY ON BOARD SHIP. —Michael Watson, the chief mate of the ship Ceres, lying at Pickle Herring-stairs, Horsleydown, and nephew of Mrs. Robinson, of Sunder land, the owner of the ship, and connected with respectable families, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with breaking open a desk in the cabin of the vessel, and stealing £29 in gold therefrom. It appeared from the evidence that Captain Vim. Catch pole, the master of the Ceres, left the vessel yesterday morning on business, and upon his return iii the evening, at half-past 6 o'clock, he found the prisoner was gone, and upon going into his cabin, discovered that his desk had been broken open, and all the money, 28• sovereigns and two half-sovereigns, abstracted. The captain quickly directed the whole of his crew to proceed in various directions in search of the prisoner, and in the course of the same night the carpenter, cook, and a seaman belonging to the Ceres found him in the Gun-Boat beer-shop in High-street, Shad well, very tipsy and lying with his head upon a table in the kitchen. It Appeared from the statement of Mr. Michael Cook, the landlord of the Gun-Boat —who was described by Mr. Yardley " to have acted very properly, and with as much care as honesty"—that the prisoner was a schoolfellow of his 18 years ago, and he had seen him very frequently since. Yesterday afternoon the prisoner was with a girl at the Bell, in Ratcliffe-highway, and she took his watch from him and suspended it to her own neck. On leaving the Bell they went to another public-house, and then came to the Gun-Boat. The girl said the prisoner had a deal of money about him, and he insisted upon the prisoner, who was very tipsy, giving it up to. him. The prisoner did so, and the money, 26 sovereigns and two half sovereigns, was counted out upon a table. The prisoner then went to sleep, and upon the crew of the Ceres arriving at the house and giving information of the robbery, he took the prisoner to the station-house. Mr. Cook previously searched his pockets and took from them 18s. more, so that only £1 12s. was lost to the prosecutor. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, hung down his head and said he was very sorry for what he had done, he was intoxicated when he committed the robbery or ho should not have done so. Mr. Yardley, after enlarging on the fearful effects of drunkenness, convicted the prisoner of larceny, and sen tenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—OH Friday last a person named Isaac Brewer was charged at the Thames Police Court, with stealing a hat-box, the property of Samuel Marks, who had been formerly prisoner's employer. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, for the prisoner. It was shown that prisoner, a most respectable man, was now in the service of a house. Mr. Beard proved that the hat-box had first been bor rowed and then given. The Magistrate said no man in lita' 4 'ionses could suppose prisoner stole the box, and he would be discharged. It was mentioned that an atijf ) ,for false imprisonment would be brought. THE WEATHER IN THE CHANNEL, &C.—DOVER, Tuesday, 7 p.m.—The weather moderated this morning ; but it now blows a sharp, biting wind from the east. The mail packet Alliance with two mails left for Calais at 6 a.m., and the mail packet Queen with two mails arrived from Calais at 7 40 a.m., and took her departure this afternoon at the usual hour with the French mails. The Prince Frederick William arrived with the mails f.tom Ostend this morning at 4 o'clock, but was not let into harbour until 6.30. No mail for the North of Europe via Ostend since Saturday night, for the Belgian Government mail packet that ran to the leeward yesterday morning and landed hei• mails at Newhaven has not come up to Dover yet. The Prince Frederick William goes with the mail to Ostend to night at the usual hour. Her Majesty's steam yacht Black Eagle, Master Commander Petley, arrived here to-day in readiness to embark to-morrow his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales for Ostend. His Excellency Lord Bloomfield will cross over to Calais to-morrow morning by epeciv.l packet en Mao to Berlin. This was an appeal from a decision of Mr. Commissioner Perry, of the Liverpool District Court of Bankruptcy, re fusing a certificAte to the bankrupt, Mr. Steel, a timber merchant and shipowner, in Liverpool. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. Deighton supported the ap peal; Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Aspinal appeared for the assignee. A At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel their lord ships delivered judgment. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner were decidedly of opinion that the bankrupt was not entitled to any certificate whatever, on the ground of fraud, conspiracy, and deception, in granting, accepting, and discounting accommodation bills with Mr. Lord, in the name of the firm of Messrs. Hallet and Com pany, which were zit authorised by, or known to, Messrs. Hallet and Company, before. Mr. Lord absconded from Liverpool. Their lordships refused the certificate absolutely, and also refused the petition, with costs. ILLNESS OF A SUITOR -- IMPORTANT QUESTION.--WEI, HENSR V. CROWDEN. Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the plaintiff. On the part of defenlant, it was urged that the cause should be adjourned until a witness (defendant's partner), who was labouring under a complication of ills, could attend. Mr. Buchanan said that the witness in question had been examined once, and he did not think would be again re quired. Defendant could assure his Honour that the abSent per. son was required. A note was handed up to his Honour, which stated that a number of defendant's family, and he himself, were suffer ing from an attack of illness, and his Honour thought he should grant the adjournment. Mr. Buchanan—We are quite prepared to go on. I have brought all our witnesses with us, and if the case is to be adjourned we should have costs. His Honour—No ; I cannot grant costs ; you know, Mr. Buchanan, the circumstances are without the witness's control. We cannot grant costs. It is the act of God. 7 1 & STATUE TO DR. ISAAC BARROW. • Yesterday afternoon the companion statue to Lord Bacon and Sir Isaac Newton was erected in the ante-hall to the chapel of Trinity College, Cam bridge. For some time past the choice of a subject had puzzled not only Trinity College, but the Uni versity generally ; and it was not until after much piquant but friendly controversy that the point was settled by a majority of votes of the Fellows of Trinity College in favour of the celebrated Dr. Isaac Barrow. The person to whom the idea of the statue first occurred, and who is the donor of it, was the Marquis of Lansdowne —himself a mem ' ber of Trinity College, who, when on visits to the present Master of Trinity, and cherishing affection ate remembrances of his college life, frequently noticed the fact that the niche in the ante-hall, cor responding to that in which the statue of Lord Ba;!on is placed, required filling up, in order to c't3mplete the triangle which should be formed with the figure of Sir Isa ac N ewton, at the other extre mity of the hall. The noble marquis proposed to become the donor of the statue, but modestly left the selection of the subject of it to the college. An amusing rivalry, therefore, sprang up as to the worthy upon whom the choice should fall, and for a time" Shall Cromwell have a statue?" was a question easy of solution in Cambridge, com pared with the settlement of the claims of others of the illustrious dead. The great name of Milton suggested itself to many, but then it was remem bered that the poet was of Christ's, and not of Trinity. Lord Macaulay, it is said, suggested the celebrated Dr. Bentley, whose claims might have been indisputable but for certain conflicts into which that eminent divine had entered even with Trinity College itself. Past generations of Fellows of Trinity had not forgotten that when Dr. Bentley, a " Johnian," had been nominated by the Crown to the Mastership of Trinity, they disputed a sup posed interference with their privileges, and that Dr. Bentley, when denied entrance at the college gates, actually scaled the w a ll s an d ma d e good his right by stratagem. Other names were freely can vassed, but unsuccessfully until, at the sugge.tion mainly, we believe, of Professor Sedgwick, the Vice-Master of Trinity, a majority of votes were obtained for the name of Dr. Barrow as one less likely than any other to challenge any feelings of university etiquette or punctilio. The commission for a statue was given to Mr. Matthew Noble, and he certainly has succeeded in producing a statue which will bear the test of criticism as compared with the two principal statues with which it is to be in company. The statue of Lord Bacon is in imitation of the one .in St. Michael's Church, St. Alban's. It was b egun b y Chantry and finished by Weekes, and bears the noble inscription which is upon the original statue. This was presented to Trinity College by Dz. Whewell in 1845. The statue of Sir Isaac Newton, by Roubilliac, at the other end of the hall, is a constant object of admi ration, and it is said that the likeness is the most perfect that is extant in sculpture. The statue of Dr. Barrow, which, like that of Lord Bacon, is in a sitting posture, is executed in the finest Carrara marble, which stands out like the driven snow in comparison with the other statues, busts, and mural monuments in the hall, to which time has given a dingy look. There is a fine academic air about the figure, which admirably comports with the classical associations of the place. Dr. Barrow is represented with a pair of compasses in one hand, denoting his mathematical predilections, and a volume of ser mons in the other, suggestive of his celebrity as a divine, and more particularly of the copiousness and luxuriance of his style in this class of compo sition. From the causes we have named the erec tion of the statue has occasioned no little stir in the University, and, indeed, among the townspeople. Throughout the afternoon considerable numbers of the authorities, Fellows and others, of Trinity and the other colleges, have visited the ante-hall, to revive old memories of the distinguished scholar and mathematician, and pass_ judgment up on th e statue as a work o f ar t. Dr. Whewell, we believe, has undertaken to supply the inscription, and the Marquis of Lansdowne is shortly expected on a visit to that gentleman to view -the statue in its resting place. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-Generar Report.) Under the influence of cold air and fogs the mor• tality has much increased. The deaths registered in London were in the two previous weeks 1,133 and 1,217 ; in the last week ending Saturday, Nov. 13, they rose to 1,349. In those three weeks the mean weekly temperaturehas constantly fallen, and having been 51 deg. in the third week of October, it was only 39 deg. last week. The weather was cold even for the second week of November, and on the last five nights the thermometer fell below the freezing point of water. In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,050, but as the deaths that are now returned occurred in a population that has increased, they should be compared with the average when the lat ter is raised in proportion to the increase, a correc tion by which it becomes 1,155. The comparison shows that the deaths of last week were more nu merous, to the extent of nearly 200, than they would have been if the average rate of mortality for the same season had prevailed. If the deaths of last week had been according to the rate of mortality that prevails in autumn in the healthiest country districts of England, they would have been 770 ; and the greater part of the excess above this limit which the return exhibits, amounting to 579, is therefore to be re ferred to causes that are only or chiefly found in operation in London and other city populations. A certain number of the 579 persons died from the unusual cold ; and a certain number, though less, would have died in the country, from the same cause. In comparing the results of the last two weeks the increase of mortality is found chiefly amongst young and old persons, the deaths of the former class having risen from 677 to 766, and those of the latter from 211 to 237. The increase is found also under most of the general heads under which the causes of death are arranged, but chiefly in diseases of the respiratory organs, which were fatal in the two weeks in 230 and 312 cases respectively. Phthisis in the tubercular order decreased from 141 to 131. Scarlatina is still very fatal. The deaths from it last week were 145, which is nearly double the cor rected average for ten corresponding weeks. The north districts, in which nearly a third of the deaths from it occurred, continue to suffer most. Nine teen fatal cases arc returned in the Pancras district, six in the sub-district of Bow, and six in that of Kennington (Ist part). The deaths from small-pox have increased from 3 to 15, of which eight occurred in the Small-pox Hospital, Islington, to which many patients are brought from country parts. Last week the births of 910 boys and 904 girls, in all 1,814 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 the average number was 1,547. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.062 in. The mean daily reading was about 30 in. till Fri day. The barometrical readings varied from 30.34 in. to 29.31 in. The mean temperature of the week was 39.0 deg., . which is 5.3 deg. below the average of the' same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr.lGlaisher). The mean daily temperatuee was below the average throughout the week, and on Wednesday the extent of depression was 9.7 deg. The thermometer in the shade fell from 50.5 deg., its highest point which was attained on Sunday, to 26.8 deg. on Wednesday, its lowest point in the week. Its entire range was 23.7 deg. ; the mean daily range was 15.6 deg. The difference between the mean dewpoint temperature and air temperature was 3.6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 84. The mean tempera ture of the water of the Thames was 45.8 deg., or about 7 deg. higher than that of the air. The wind blew on the first three days from the north, after wards from the south-west and east. Dense fog prevailed on the night of Wednesday. No rain was measured by the gauge. FORGERY OF AUSTRIAN BANK-NOTES. The Suisse of Berne announces that the police of Saint Gall have just made a very important capture in the person of a native of Baden, who has just returned from New York with an American passport. He was arrested on a charge of issu ing false Austrian paper money. On his being searched there were found on him bank notes of all countries, which, it appears, were intended to serve as specimens for carrying on a manufacture of forged notes in America on a large scale. A man residing at Romanshorn, who is implicated in the affair, has been also arrested. POISONED LOZENGES.—It is stated in a commu nication from a firm of wholesale confectioners, that the adulterating article called daft, duck, stuff, derby, plaster, or by some more classically named terra alba, is used in the manufacture of lozenges to the alarming extent of 25 to 35 per cent. This article is very injurious to the system, being indissoluble ; it precipitates in the body and forms stone, especially if taken in large quantities, as in the case with the lozenges that caused this calamity. It is used in the cheap lozenges which are largely consumed by children. Its existence may be ascertained by dissolving throe of the lozenges in a wino glass of water, when the terra alba will precipitate to the bottom of the glass; and precisely in the same manner will a largo proportion remain in the body, producing gravel or stone. The temptation to use it arises from the following facts :-1. It makes the lozenge much harder and whiter. 2. It enables the manufacturer to svll a cheaper article than his neighbour who conscientiously re fuses to use it. 3. The price. Terra alba may be I roeured at 7s. per cwt. or less, while the price of fine powdered sugar is 63g. per cwt. ; the great difference in the above prices allOwA it larger profit to the clithoueEt 'manufacturer, / THE MURDER AT . 7a ------- "E RiDoz , OII EARN. - The Edinburgh High Court of Justiciary resumed its sittings on Monday, for the purpose of taking up the case of Alexander Murray, charged with the murder of his grandmother. On the bench were the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Ardmillan, and Lord Neaves. The prisoner is a young man, 23 years of age, by profession a sailor. The murder he is charged with was committed at the Bridge of Earn, Perthshire, the residence of his grandmother, at whose house he had gone to stay a few days after his voya ge , and before starting o n hi s nex t. Hi s vessel arrived ' at Greenock in the early part of the week, and on Thursday, the 19th August, he arrived at his grand mother's house. Then he was the worse of liquor, and stated, in reply to a question, that he had been drinking very hard for two days previous.' On the Saturday afternoon, while apparently suffering under an attack of delirum tremens, he seized a common dinner knife, and stabbed his grandmother in the throat. She died almost immediately, and for this murder he was to-day called upon to answer. The Lord Advocate, the Solicitor-General, and Mr. Blackburn, advocate depute, conducted the prosecution. The defence was sustained by Mr. George Y oung and Mr. Alexander Moncrieff. The Prisoner, in answer to the charge, pleaded not guilty, and it was specially alleged on his behalf that the offence was committed while he was under the influence of insanity. Several medical witnesses for the defence were accommodated with seats in the court, and pro vision was also made for medical 'witnesses retained by the Crown. The principal witness was Isabella Campbell, daughter of the murdered woman, and aunt of the prisoner, who said—When prisoner arrived at our house from Greenock he was in a state of delirium tremens, from drink. He was very violent and restless in the house. He remained mostly in the house on the day of the murder. I heard a noise in the back bed-room where my mother and the prisoner were. I heard screams. I went to the back bed-room, and saw my mother lying on the floor. The prisoner was above my mother, striking her on the head. Her feet were near the door, and her head away from me as I went in. The prisoner's back was towards me. I caught hold of the prisoner, and tried to pull him off my mother. He knocked me down. He pulled me down in the scuffle. I don't remember whether he threw me down on the top of my mother, but it was near her. He struck me repeatedly when I was down. I managed to get up, and cried for assistance as loud as I could. I heard my mother say he had cut her throat, and I observed that there was blood. My mother was covered with blood, and blood ran on the floor. I raised her up, and attempted to take her into the next room. One of the maids came, in answer to my call, and helped me to take out my mother. I had her out in the lobby, when the pri soner seized her and knocked her down again. He struck her several times with his hands, and knelt down on his knees beside her, and struck ber on the head. I pulled him away again, pushed him out at the front door into the road, and locked the door. I returned to my mother. She was still alive, but died almost immediately. The Court adjourned the trial till Tuesday. The prisoner sat the whole day with his head drooping and turned to .the side away from the jury, and looking very abject and melancholy, PARLIAMENTARY STATISTICS. A Parliamentary document was published yes terday, consisting of reports received from British. Secretaries of Embassy and Legation on the manu factures and commerce of the countries in which they reside. These have been furnished in confor mity with a request issued by Lord Clarendon at the beginning of last year, with the view of encou raging the junior members of the diplomatic service to turn to account the opportunities of observation afforded them. The consuls at the outports of fo reign countries already send periodical statements, but it was considered that valuable opportunities of a more general character would present themselves to her Majesty's diplomatic servants residing at the various capitals where the course and motives of the commercial legislation of each country would be more apparent. The dates at whicn the reports are recommended to be made are the Ist of January and the Ist of July of each year, and they are in all cases to be handed to the head of the Embassy, who is expected to t-ansmit them, with any additions of his own, to the Government. The present publi cation contains 13 report., all from European coun tries. The first is on Sardinia, from Mr. Erskine, at Turin. Statistics in that country are not much cul tivated, but Mr. Erskine has compiled a number of tables and collected many facts with regard to its general industry which possess much interest. There is likewise a summary of the railway under takings of the State, with a description of the efforts in progress for tunnelling Mont Cenis. Also full particulars of the State debt up to the Ist of Jan:, 1857, when it amounted to £27,000,000. On Belgium the report is from Sir T. W. Waller, and states that the foreign trade of the country has nearly doubled itself in the last ten years, the im ports in 1855 having reached £27,160,000. Of Bavaria it is stated by Mr. Bonar that so rare and imperfect is the statistical information imparted by the Government that it is next to impossible to obtain, otherwise than by personal observation, detailed and accurate knowledge of its annual foreign commerce. In various parts of the country coal has lately been discovered in veins promising to be of considerable extent and of ex pellent quality. This may give an impulse to trade, a costly wood fuel, or an inferior peat turf, having hitherto been alone used. A very full and favour able account of the commercial progress of Switzer land is given by Mr. Herries. Some of tie figures are striking, and the general prespe ity is attri buted to free -trade principles, coupled with political liberty. The falling off of the soldier traffic, which in former times drew away a large . portion of the population from industrial pursuits, is cited amorg the minor causes of advancement. The present value of British exports to Switzerland, which mostly take place through France, is roughly esti mated at £2,400,000. More business is supposed to have been done of late years by Switzerland with the United States than with any other country, and the crisis at New York last autumn was conse quently severely felt. In railways the country is behind most others, and the lines that exist are are "not greatly to be admired." The total of nomi nal capital thus invested is about £12,000,000, of which a large proportion is foreign, the Paris Credit Mobilier being a great holder. In telegraphs there has been much more progress, and the charges for internal messages are extraordinarily low, amount , ing only t o 2 s . 6d . f or 100 words, irrespective of distance. The report of Mr. Howard, the Secre tary of Embassy in France, relates exclusively to the silk trade of Lyons. From Denmark Mr. Orme describes a steady improvement which has been going on during the last ten years, assisted by the breaking down of old restrictions. In a report from Frankfort it is mentioned by Mr. Edwardes that a company formed in that city about four years ago for preserving and compressing 'vegetables for naval, military, and other purposes, has met with singular success. It was established with a capital of only £lO,OOO, and is now doing much business with almost every part of the world. The first year it made a return of 13 per cent.; the second, in consequence of enlargements, it paid only 8 per cent., but then advanced to 15 per cent. It began by employing six workpcople, and has at present 120. From Prussia Lord A. Loftus • gives encouraging prospects, her progress being partly due to the growth of intelligence and scien tific knowledge among the manufacturing classes, owing to increased facilities of communication with foreign countries, and to the great development of the iron and mining interests. It is believed, moreover, that publie feeling. is working t owar d s a greater development, of the principle of free trade.' From Vienna Mr. Elliot sends a report, in which he traces the causes of the low rank held by Austria, with her population of 38,000,000 among commercial nations, to the system of " guilds and trades" having been one of the principal. Much general information is also given. As regards Russia, Mr. Fane has trans mitted an elaborate review of the, progress of her commerce for 30 years up to 1853, at which date, owing to the confusion created by the war, the sta tistical tables became for a certain period almost valueless. The slow development of Russian com merce, looking at the fact of the population num bering 60,000,000, M r. F ane attributes to serf labour, defective means of transport, and vicious legislation, coupled with the low social status of the merchant. Each of these, however, is in progress of amelioration,:the first of the recent edicts decree ing the gradual emancipation of the serfs ; the second by the projected system of railways; and the third by the tariff of 1857. Of the general com mercial system of Turkey an analysis is furnished by Mr. Alison. The advantages derived by that country from her system of virtual free trade are shown to be greatly counteracted by the pernicious duties levied on the transmission of goods from one [ province to another. The fact is that no produc tion of the soil or manufactures of Turkey can be transported by sea betw een any t wo towns with out paying 13 per cent. on being shipped and 1 per cent. on being sold for consumption, while as regards the tributary provinces an average duty of 15 per cent, is levied on goods merely passing and repassing the frontier. As the country is totally devoid of roads, the tax on sea carriage virtually applies to the only means of cheap transport at command. It is also shown that as re spects all the ordinary methods of co ll ec ti ng revenue those of Turkey are file most wasteful and barbarous. The absence of roads, canals, or railways is, how ever, the grand evil that explains the low rate of progress the nation has hitherto made, " compared with other producing countries possessed of far inferior natural facilities for the production of raw produce in excess of the wants of the country itself." A paper from Mr. Grey gives, in connexion with details of the commerce of Sweden, a narrative of the distress which fell upon the trade of that country last autumn, and some useful remarks on - her rather tardy railway legislation. The final document is from Mr. Paget, on Portugal, and here, again, we have a repetition of the story always heard in cou n t r i es w h ere t h e people look to the Government to do everything, that the want of roads and transport is creating universal impoverisharnt. From this cause there is a con stant emigration to Brazil. "At present," it is said, "there is barely sufficient corn grown to supply the wants of the population, for th e reason that, owing. to the want of roads and theimpracti cability or expense of transport, the farmer merely cultivates sufficient land to supply his ownimme diate neighbourhood, anything b,eyond that femain kde loss d t that a u t p t o h n e an o h leof d . the r Finally, eports i it h us s rteo binegreamdacia. ferred to will be found to contain interesting in formation, stated in a clear and unpretending manner, and that the volume is a creditable speci men of the ability of our young diplomatic officers to handle commercial and financial topics.

F. JEUNE, Vice-Chancellor. FIRST PUBLIC EXAMINATION.—The Junior Proc tor, the Rev. Charles W. Heaton, M.A., of Pembroke College, has this day issued the names of the can didates for the first public examination und er moderators, arranged alphabetical order, and m numbering 184. THE WESTERN BANK. A meetin to consider e best mode of reliing the suffer ers g by the recent bank failures was ev held yesterday in the Lord Provost's Chambers, Edin burgh. Mr. Charles Cowan, M.P., and afterwards the Lord Provost, presided. Mr. Kenneth Mac kenzie reported that after considerable discussion as to the propriety of calling a meeting for the purpose of augmenting the subscriptions, it had been resolved that two gentlemen should proceed to Glasgow to get the opinions of the committee there. Mr. Bryson and himself thereupon waited upon the Glasgow committee, and that committee strongly ad vise d th em to take means to get up a public meeting in Edinburgh, as they believed it would have a better effect than if it was to take place in Glasgow. He thought a public meeting would bring a much larger subscription than they could otherwise obtain.--Dean Ramsay said that he knew there were certain parties who objected to subscribing for purposes of this kind. An idea had got into people's minds that all the subscriptions would go to law expenses, and there were others who objected to subscribe to such and object because the shareholders had invested their money in the Western Bank for the purpose of increasing their own incomes ; but he could not agree with any of these objections.— Mr. Cowan said he had occasion to hear a good deal stated in the way of objections—for instance, that this was a commercial calamity which people had brought on themselves by desiring to obtain high rate of dividend. He had no sympathy with those feelings. He thought that every one who had been preserved from being involved in such a loss should be called upon to some extent to miti gate that loss. However large a sum might be raised by the benevolence of the public, it would go but a very small way to mitigate the distress that befallen a large number of the unfortunate share holders. After considerable discussion as to the desirability of calling a public meeting, a committee was appointed to consider the subject, and to report to a future meeting. The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the Lord Provost. —Scotsman. CITY S.EITTEI4S. Yesterday the commissioners assembled at Guild hall, for the despatch of business—Deputy Christie in the chair. ILLUMINATING POWER AND CHEMICAL QUALITY OF TTHE GREAT CENTRAL GAS. _ Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health for the City of London, presented his report on the illumi nating power and chemical quality of the gas sup plied by the Great Central Gas Company during the last three months, and, as the result of 130 experiments made in accordance with the instructions of the act of parliament, the illu minating power has been equal to that of 13.25 sperm candles, or 15.16 wax of 120 grains con sumption. This is a satisfactory result, for it shows that the illuminating power has been a little more than 26 per cent. over the standard of the act ofi parliament. The chemical quality has also been good, for the gas has been remarkably free from ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogen. SANITARY STATE OF THE CITY. Dr. Letheby handled in the following report : " The inspector's returns, which are before you, relate to 282 houses that have been inspected since the last meeting of the court, and I submit a list of 29 places that require your orders for sanitary improvement in various particulars of cleansing, draining, and water supply. I also submit a cer tificate for the registration of a house (No. 8) in Golden-lane, as a common nightly lodging-house. " The mortality returns for the last fortnight are much in excess of those for the preceding weeks, and of the average for this season of the year. The total number of deaths is 132, the average for the corresponding periods of the last two years being 121. The excess in the mortality has chiefly been among infants, for there were 69 deaths among children of less than five years of age , and the dis eases which have be e n unusua ll y fatal to them are whooping-cough, measles, and scarlet fever. The cold weather has also produced a high mortality from affections of the respiratory system. In the course of the fortnight there have been 21 deaths from bronchitis, 13 from pneumonia, and 12 from phthisis. There have also been seven deaths from fever, seven from scarlatina, two from smallpox, eight from whooping-cough, ten from measles, and five from croup and diphtheria. " The number of births in the fortnight was 141, of which 66 were males, and 75 were females." : , : f et s fe ta Ci te f THE ARMY SERVING IN INDI A.—The retaGrya last night contains papers rece i ved b y the orders issued by the Governor for India :—viz., gen e ral - h General of India for t he publication of :-1.
