Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday presented a very heavy appear ance, and prices of all descriptions tended down wards. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the exporters. In Railway Shares a moderate business was transacted, at about former values. Advices from India, although perhaps as favour able as could be expected, do not report general activity. It is nevertheless remarked that there was a better demand for manufactures, and this fact is encouraging for those engaged in the trade of the North of England. From Australia also recent accounts are encouraging in this respect, while in America there likewise appears to be a progressive i mprovement. These circumstances will all tell eventually upon the commerce of the United King dom, and when once activity is produced, the re action from the state of depression lately witnessed Will, in all probability, be more important than many are inclined to anticipate. Notwithstanding the general inactivity prevailing in most branches of business, it is satisfactory to observe that few complaints are made, both principals and employes awaiting a favourable change with exemplary patience ; and there seems every reason to believe that before the end of the year they will experience a marked improvement, as the tendency in that direction is evidently very encouraging. In France there are also unmistakeable indications of a re v►vat of commerce. The letters from Paris, Lyons, M arseilles, and other places all report inerea-ed transactions, which were causing an augmented demand for money. The Bourse, however, still continues very much depressed, in spite of the numerous measures which have been adopted for the purpose of promoting an improvement in the quotations, which, although tolerably steady, do not advance. It appears that gold is 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg, but it is 2-10ths per cent. higher in Paris than in this market. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon 'were firm, but without alteration. The inquiry for accommodation was not increased to any important extent, but the applications in some quarters are stated to be rather more numerous, probably in consequence of the prepara tions for the 4th of the month, and other engage ments. No alteration has taken place in the quota tions, which still range as low as 21 per cent. At the Stock Exchange also, the va'ate of money is very Moderate, loans being obtainable on Governm , nt Securities at 11 per cent, In the course of a few 44 3% the settlements will probably increase the de ?need, although the terms for " carrying over " ere exceedingly easy. It is expected that a fair proportion of the gold, ex the }leather Bell, will be sent into the Bauk. The half -yearly meeting of the United Mexican -,.., 4i ning Associ a ti on t oo k p l ace to -d ay —Si r J o h n -e, asthope, Bart., in the chair. The report stated that the operations for the last five months had l eft a loss of 2,026 dollars in addition to the ex- Penses of the establishment, but there was 48,000 4 . °ls. worth of ore at the mines.

BOMBAY MAIL. The following telegram was received at the Foreign-office, from Acting C , nsul-General Green, on Wednesday, July 28, 1858, at 1.25 p.m. : ALEXANDRIA, JULY 23, 1858. The steamer Bombay arrived at Suez from Bom bay this morning. The following intelligence from the Bombay Standard of 3d July, 3 p.m., has reached this by telegraph. Sir Hugh Rose reached Gwalior on the 16th June from the south-west ; Brigadier Smith ap proached it from the south-east. Early on the 17th a series of severe conflicts en sued on both sides of the town. On the 19th the enemy were beaten and dispersed in all directions, and the town captured by us. The fort was next day found abandoned. The Maharajah was conducted in state to his Palace en the 19th. Four of our officers have fallen. During the four dAys we had captured twenty seven guns, many elephanh and a vast amount t f treasure. The fugitives had the Agra force in front ; Napier on their rear ; Rose and ours on their right and refflink (qy. left flank). A large force, under General Roberts, left Nus serabad on the 29th, in the direction of Jeypore, where the mutineers are supposed to be assembling. On the 13th, General Sir Hope Grant gained a brilliant victory at Nawabgunge, near Lucknow, capturing a large number of guns, and driving the enemy across the Gogra. Oa the 9th the celebrated Moulvie, for wbcm 5,000/. had been offered, was killed. Oude continues much disturbed. The Governor-General, on receiving Lord Ellen borough's despatch, issued a proclamation giving amnesty to all but murderers. The results are not yet known. Telegram arrived by the Wanderer on the 28th July, 4.50 a.m. STOPFORD, Rear-Admiral. CAPTURE OF THE FORTS OF THE PEIHO, OFFICIAL DESPATCH. (From a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) ADMIE,A.LTY, JULY 27. A despatch, of which the following is an extract, has been received by the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, from Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, K.C.8., the Gimmander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels on the East India Station, dated May 21, • I accordingly lost no time in consulting with Rear-Ad miral Itigault de Genouilly, and making the necessary ar rangements, and the same afternoon we proceeded with all the English gunboats, across the bar to the mouth of the river, where the gun-vessels and French gunboats named in the margin (Nimrod, Cormorant, Mitraille, Fusee, Dragonne, Avalanche) had been previously station ed, to give weight to the negotiations. The Slaney, Firm, Staunch, and Bustard canveyed our lauding parties, and the Leven and Opossum those of the French. From the arrival of the Ambassadors on the 14th April, the Chinese have used every exertion to strengthen the forts at the entrance of the Peiho ; earthworks, sand bag batteries, and parapets for the heavy gingalls, have been erected on both sid is for a distance of nearly a mile in len .th, upon which 87 guns in position were visible, and the whole shore had been piled to oppose a landing. As the channel is only about 200 yards wide, and runs within 40 , yards of the shore, these defences presented a formid able appearance. Two strong mud batteries, mounting re spectively 33 and 16 gum bad been also constructed about 1,000 yards up the river, in a position to command our ad vance. In the rear, several eutrenehed camps were visible, defended by flanking bastions, and it was known that large bodies of troops had arrived from Paltin. All the forts and the camps were covered with the various coloured flags under which the " troops of the eight banners," as the Tartar soldiers are styled, range them selves. At 8 a.m. yesterday, the notification to the Imperial Commissioner Tan, and the summons to deliver up the forts within two hours, wore delivered by Captain Hall, my Flag Captain, and Capitaine Reynaud, Flag Captain of the French Admiral, and accompanied by say gallant col league, and attended by our respective secretaries and Flag Lieutenants, we embarked in the Slaney, to direct the movements of the squadron. I beg to enclose a copy of the plan of attack, which was arranged in concert with Admiral Riganit. No answer having been returned to the summons by 10 o'clock, the si nal agreed upon was made, and the gun boats advanced in the prescribed order, led by the Cor morant. The Chinese opened fire immediately, and the signal to engage was made a few minutes afterwards from the Slaney. By the time all the vessels had anchored in their respective stations, the effects of our well-directed fire had become very apparent. The first fort was entirely dismantled and abandoned, and the second partially so, whilst those on the north side had be , . n completely sub duedebonrytelsemhrmysebis o y lnsfy.fi t caehrof theat e pA C tc o eia r nt m s mhesoaeair v r . s The landing Cormorant and and two French gun-boats.

Much skill and labour had been expended in the con struction of these forts. The guns were much better cast, and not so unwieldy, as those in the Canton River, and were better equipped in every respect. They had good ca nister shot, and the hollow 8-inch shot appeared imitations from our own. Thera were several English guns in the batteries. Directions were now sent to Captain Sir F. Nicholson and Capitoline Leveque to advance and capture the two forts up the river, which bad kept up a smart fire. This movement was successfully executed, under the supporting fire from the Bustard, Staunch, and Opossum. Several entrenched camps were also destroyed, The Chinese stood well to their guns, notwithstanding shot, shell, and rockets were flying thickly around them. Most of the gunboat s were bulled, so me several times, whilst boatr, spars, a nd ri gg in g were c ut by round shot, i eballs. fortify This signalposition, success, after the Chi and were con fidentn as strength, may probably have a greater moral gepeh, hail their egsattilr emto effect on the Chinese Government than if we had attacked them in the first instance, when they were less prepared. The.necessary arrangements at the entrance of the river having been completed, a further advance was made to the a i r n ty fr o o f a m o e f n a , a la a n ba ded ! n with combustibl village of Takoo, where we found a barrier of junks filled ma tt er , moored by chains r i g ht across the river, whilst seven simi lar obstruct ions to our pro gress were observed within a mile hi gher up.

Whilst on shore the aHnadlwi took th s fl i a o g n l o ie f u l t s en fi a resi dence of the High Commissioner Tan was visit e d, and e n i t d an p a iec a e p s found deserted, 'though It was ascertained here that the main body of the Chinese troops had retired with Tan to a position about eight miles up the river. - - The barrier at Takoo offering good security to our vessels below, it was made our adva nced p o sition for the night, in charge of Sir F. Nicholson and Capitaine Thoyon. I enclose a list of our casualties, amounting to I warrant officer and men killed, and two officers and 15 men wounded. That of our gallant allies ip, I regret to state, much heavier ; amounting to 4 officers and 2 men killed, and 5 officers and 56 men wounded. Many of the wounded were taken on board the Coromandel, flag tender, whet° arrangements bad been made for the purpose, under the able supervision of Dr. C. A. Anderson. Staff-surgeon, wh 'se services on this occasion, and on all former occa sions where we have been employed on active service, I feel b mud to bring to their lordships' favourable notice. It now becomes my pleasing duty to mention to their lordships the laudable conduct of both officers and mon under my orders. From Captains Sir Froth,' ick Nicholson, Roll, and Osborn, I have received the greatest assistance, as we ll as from C ,rnmauders Leckie, Saumarez, and Creswell. Commander Saumarez excited the admiration of the whole force by the noble mqnner in which he led the attack, and for some time eustained the heavy fire from the north forts. I can bear witness also to the zeal and gallantry of the .ffi,;ers commanding the gunboats, and beg to recommend Lieutenants Reeking, Nicolas, !Judaea, - Wildman, and flallowee, to their lordships'-favuurabie notice, as well as the second masters, particular)) . lir.

In the event of it not being the intention of the Government to do so, he should next se.. , sion cf Parliament bitu3elf introduce a bill on the subject.

The Earl of DERBY, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that the bill was of considerable importance, and as those who were aware of the t e of the river would acknowledge, one of great urgency. The bill was of that kind that it did not involve the ne cessity of entering into a discussion of the various schemes which had been proposed for the purification of the river. The first question to be considered was as to the mode of raising the necessary funds for purifying the Thames. It was said on the one hand that it was unfair to the metropolis to call on it to bear alone the expense of this work, and on the other it was conten , led that it would be un air to the community at large that any por tion of the expense should be borne by the general pub lic. If Government contributed aid from from the public funds for this woek in the metropolis he did not see how they could refuse timiier aid to E iinburgh, Dublin, and other large towns. He believed that works similar to these which it was intended to apple to the metropolis had been carried out on a similar scale in Leicester, and he believed were about being carried out in Glasgow. It did not seem to hiin that the work was beyond the re sources of a greet and wealthy metropolis like London. If the principle was adopted that the metropolis shou,d pay fur the work, it follow e d almost as a necesary car sequence that the contrel and direction of the works should be entrusted to persons who had the confidence of the metropolis itself, and as there existed a beard elected by the ratepayers c f the metropolis it seemed to the House of Commons that they should be the persons t o c ar ry out the intentions of Parliament with regard to the purification of the ricer. That board since its original c nstituiion had not been very effective or operative, but it must be said that the Metropolitan B tard of Works had neither an absolute discretion nor the means of carrying out the works—they and the Gevernment authorities holding dtffsrent opir ions as to the best mode ofeproceeling. Ho thought that it a board cf this kind was constituted at all it was necessary in the first place that they should be entrusted with sufficient funds for effsc ing the purposes they had to perform, and in the next place that, subjeet to t he responsibility which they owed to the ratepayers, they should be interfered with as little as poss . ,' le by any extraneous authority. It was thought more wise not to encumber the board wi h any limitation as to where the outfall was to take place, but to leave the utmost possible latitude to the board. There could be little doubt be believed, that the nuisance of the river bad been aggravated by the opera tions on the sewers for sanitary purposes, which had taken place last year. Those operations bad no doubt improved the sewers of London, but by collecting all the filth of the tnetrop-lis, ald pouring it into the river, the river became a public nuisance. The Beard of Works were by this bill coustitu ed the sole authority for execut ing the works for the purification of the river. It was generally understood, though there was no express provi sion to that effect in toe bill, that the ntodus Pperandi was to be by means of in . ercepting sewers, whereby the sewage was nut to be allowed to to 1 into the river until it had undergone the process of doodorisetion. It would be most desirable if the two processes of deodorisation and of preservieg the fertilising properties of the sewage could be combined, and theattention of science ought to be at once directed t r this subject, for it seemed an incre dible fact, that whilst they were purchasing and impart ing manures at great expense from distant countries, they were poisoning and polluting the Thames by throw ing into it vast quantities r f manure, the value of which could hardly be exaggerated. (Hear.) In order to enable the board to carry out these great works provision was made iu the bill for raising by a rate of 31. in the pound on the various districts of the metropolis a sum of 3,000,0001. The bill proposed to a cerain extent, to pledge the credit of the government, so as to enable the board to borrow, on security of the rates, on inure ads vantageeus terms than they would otherwise be ab'e to do It also provided that the Exchequer Loan Commis sioners should be empowered to advance from time to time, sums of money on security ~f the rates. These were the simple provisions of the 1 ill as sent up from the other house and they were of such a nature that he apprehended it would be impossible for their lordships to introduce any amendments, because the whole bill was one of a pe- cuniary character, making pecuniary arrangements for carrying out this great work. At the same terse he did not suppose that their lordships would be disposed to obstruct a work which all admitted to be necessary at the present moment—a work which would be carried out through the instrumentality of the Metropolitan Board, under the control of popular opinion and the overseeing of the ratepayers, and also under the control of the Go vernment, in regard to the execution of the works. It must be admitted that this to a certain extent was an experiment. But the Beard of Works had fully consi dered the question for two or three years ; they bad the astdetance of very able engineers ; and they "Preeloed confidenc e th a t by th e plan which they intendec_tovaentpt ~ they should b e ena bled to restore the river, a to some portion of that parity which it posses t s a ed several years ago, and which had been so lamentably interfered with by the present system of sewage. He therefore asked their lordships tie give a second rea di ng to this bill. The Duke t f NEWCASTLE said that though the bill did nut contain ary scheme, it practically adopted one, by imposing the duty upon the Metro)), liters Board, who had th it own scheme. Without determining whether their scheme or some other was the best, be was glad that anything should be done ; for even a step in the wrong direction would lead to something bett er . H e co ncurred in the propriety of the expense being thrown en the metropolis; but as to the popular p r i nc i p l e b eing adopted, it was the very minimum of that principle. The representation of the ratepayers by the Metropolitan Board was the very minimum of representation, The members were chosen by vestries, not by the ratepayers; and there was a second and even a third election, by which the number was reduced to 43. By this wears the amount of responsibility to the ratepayers was Ex tremely small. Having conferred these large power on the board they would soon find it necessary to alter the constitution of the body, so as to have a proper re prese 'station of the whole metropolis. One great vice of the preseut board was its large number. He feareo that a body of forty-three gentlemen would never arrive at any satin factory conclusi n, and that they would con tinue to deserve the nick-name they bad gained— "the Board of Words." He regretted that the bill (Ito not contain some provision empowering the board to ap point 0 ummitteee of six or even three members. 1,. the original bill Government reserved a right of inspection and control ; but that provision bad been removed. Be regretted to find that clauses had been introduced re serving ail the r ghts cf the conservators of the Thames, thereby giving the sole power over the river to a boa) representing a small portion of the metropolis. To , Government bad rightly abandoned its own power rats rfereece, but a contra Eked veto was now given to the Lord Mayor aed C.trporation of Loudon. The Lord Nlayor recently stated that he had long prayed that it might fill that office when Lord Derby was Prime Mb nieter—(a laugh)—but in the i e' ht of his piety he could never have contemplated such extraordinary power, being conferred on himself and colleagues. By the pro visions of the bill the corporation would have power t, thwart everything that was done by the Metropolitan Board. He hope I the Government would reconsider those clauses. Lord CRANWORTLI said that it would be e xtreme! , or just to those living down tht, river that the Legislator should, as it were, indicate the point at which the sewag • of London should be discharw d into the river. The it habitants of Erith and other places found the nuisanc, •uffic ently great already.

DRAFTS ON BANKERS LAW AMENDMENT BILL The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second reading of thi4 bill, gave a short summary of its provi sions, which are now well known. The act of 1856, which was thought to have furnish e d a complete security ' as to crossed cheques, had been put to the test at the latter end of last year, when a cheque was stolen from letter and the crossing obliterated. The courts then de sided that the crossing was not a material part o f t h e cheque ; and thus the intentions of the Legislature were entirely frustrated. Hence the necessity for th e present measure. The fourth clause had been introduced for the protection of bankers, in cases where there was no trace of the crossing of a cheque having been obliterated. ir e thought this a v er y reasona bl e an d p r oper protection, as the bill imposed additional responsibility on bankers. In nice cases out of ten cheques got into improper hands threugh the negligence of the drawer. Lord OVERSTONE, who eplke with his back to the gallery, was understood to express his approval of the bill. He earnestly hoped that the Government would not yield to the representations that had been made to them awainst the protection which was given to bankers by the fourth clause of the bill. After a few words from the Earl of DONOUCIMORI and Lord CRANWoRTH, the bill was read a second time. MILITIA (SERVICE ABROAD) ACT CONTI NUANCE BILL. The Earl of DERBY moved the second readin of tbie bill, and briefly st a t e d its of je s t. He rtferred to the satis factery progress of recruiting for the regular army. In the last ten months not less than 00,000 men had been recruited ; and at the present time, notwith s t an di ng t h e season, they were recruiting at the rate of 3,000 a month. As many of these recruits had not attained their full strength it was not thought desirable to send them at once on foreign service, where they wo u ld b e exposed to vicissitudes of climate ; the bi I therefore enabled the War-office to sub-titute for them some of the more sea soned men now in tke militia. The bill was then read a second time. MILITIA ACT (No. 2) CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was then read a second time. CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. The Earl of HARDWICKE moved the second read ing i f the bill. The object, he said, was to give those who had the franchise the power of enjoying it, by re quiring the candidate to convey the elector to the poll, without making to him any money payment. This had becerne a necessity, unless means could have been devised ef lirieging polling places to the doors of the voters. This bill was intended to remedy a great difficulty in conducting an election, and there was nothing like en sonragernent to corruption in it. Earl GRANVILLE thought that the noble earl had not succeeded in giving their lordships a very clear ex planation of this measure. He wished to make an earnest appeal to the noble earl at the head cf the Government to reduce this to a mere continuance bill. It was now a continuance bill, but with one or two amendments, and one amendment was very important, its object being to enact that that which bad been considered bribery for many years should no longer be such. Of course the matter would affect both sides equally, and therefore it ought to be treated without any party feeling at all. (Hear, hear.) He well recollected that when a very simi lsr clause was strenuously endeavoured to be introduced into a meaenre four or five years ago it was rejected by an overwhelming majority, and Lords Brougham and Campbell took an active part in the matter, entirely con curring in their views. This matter bad been very much canvassed in the House of Commons, and it now came before their lordships on the last day when it was pos sible teat by the standing orders it could be read a second time, so as to be passed this session. He did not wish to go much into the matter of the amendment, but he would say that there was no doubt some advantage in conveying voters to the poll, especially in some consti tuencies, though there were, on the other hand, great di•advantages. He knew net there was a provision in the bill intended to obviate some of the inconve nience by providing that the voter might be offered the means of c nveyance, but not the money to pay for it. It was perfectly certain that under this bill the experses of elections would be enormously in creased, if every voter thought that he bad a legal right to be con veyed to the poll. Feeling that this was a sub ject which should be referred to a select committee, and as a bill was to be introduced by the Government to deal with the whole question next session, he trusted that the noble earl would make this a mere continuance 'l' be Earl of DERBY was afraid that he could not accede to the proposition made to him. His noble friend wits well aware that this matter had occupied the atten tion of the House of Commons for a considerable time, and had been much discussed there. It certainly was the intention of the Home Secretary to bring in a much more extensive measure, embracing the whole question, and invo!vin4 , points upon which there was touch more d,ffetence of opinion than upon this. Toe present bill, however, settled a pint of lair upon which there had been for a long time very much doubt, and he believed there had beep conflicting decisions in two courts ; and in one case the judgment had been rev( lewd by a superior court. There was censiderable difficulty among the highest authorities as to whether or not it WAS legal to carry a voter to the poll,;‘nd it was a question of very coneid rable im portance. This bill proceeded in the most equitable manner. Though there might be an incres.. , e of expense in some cases by allowing voters to be carried to the poll,yet if they were nut allowed to be conveyed there would be a prac tical disfranchisement of a large portion of some consti- I tuenc'es. Thera were many voters who bad not the means to defray the expense of travelling a long distance. His noble friend said that this would be giving a legal right to be carried to the poll, but that was not the fact ; the bill only gave, the ca..didate power, if he saw fit, of conveying the voter to the poll. It would be carrying the doctrine of bribery a very long way to make that curie within it. Ile thought that this was a question which it was desirable should bo settled, and he believed that the House of Commons had settled it consistently with equity and sound policy, and he did not propose to abandon the deci•ion to which they bad come. The Duke of NEWCASTLE thenglit that his Dale friend was quite wrong in calling this a settlement of the question. (Hear.) Tee Home Secretary, in the House Commons, sxpresely stated that it was no settlement at all, and he said more than once that in next session it was his intention to bring in another bill, and to refer the subject to a committee. He thought it was impossible that at this period of the session they could do better than pass a mere continuance bill. What took place four or five years ago 12::d been referred On that occasion the metier earns before the house a week or two before the close of the session ; and he felt so strongly in refe rence to introducing a similar clause to this that he moved its omission, and that notion was carried by a majority of 34 to 4. There bad been many instances of bribery through the hiring of conveyances ; and another inconve nience front this clause might be, that the candidate who was in the field first, having a ler, e amount of money, would hire the whole conveyances existing in the locality and so prevent his opponent getting his voters to the poll. His noble friend spoke of this as a satisfactory ad justment of the questiou ; but how was it such an adjust ment. It tri , ght be an adjustment of the question in reference to vot-rs near the polling place ; but bow co they provide conveyance for a voter at a di 7 sta H nc His great with out having an agent there for the purpose there the carrying of voters at all. It was true . obji ction to the bill, however, was that itw t o h u a l t d . l f eglise might disfranchise some they to the expense or vw.atuso who h e u o c w h o a u idot provision pu t t trout le of going to the poll. Was there any harm in dis'ranchising those persons I They should inculcate on the voter , he moral duty i f exercising his trust by voting. The Duke of SOMERSET thought it undesirable that the candidate should pay the expense of carrying voters to the poll, and that at ail events this matter s hould net be settled without there having been an in quiry. It was said, on the other hand, that they might disbanehise voters, but it would be a still greater evil to bribe a man to vote by carrying him to the poll. Tbis system of conveyance would be a groat means of bribery. Men would go on journeys to see their friends when they knew that an election was coming on, and so be brought back at the expense of the candidate. He hoped that the noble earl would postpone this clause, and allow i% to be considered next year. Lord EBURY also earnestly entreated the noble earl to make th a a mere continuance bill. The clause as to • .nveyance of voters was called a settlement of the TIM. tion ; but he hoped it never would be settled in this way; This way of settling it would lead to great demoralisa tion, and there were many constituencies where almost every voter would apply for a conveyance. He would ask the question, why should a candidate be saddled with the pereonal expenses of the voter ? The voter should pay his own personal expenses, and the remainder of the expense should be defrayed by the borough or county. If this clause passed many voters would ask for conveyance who would not before have done so, because there was a legal right to have conveyance, and every one of those voters would demoralise themselves. The hill was then read a second time. The Earl of DERBY proposed that the bill should go into committee tt •morrow (Wednesday). After some discu,sion, however, it was arranged that this stage of the measure should be postponed until for-day, with the understanding that the report should be broue,ht up the same day, and the discussion be pro cef ded with immediately.
