MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The improvement - lately, noticed in the various manufactming districts, with one or two exceptions, has been well sustained. At Manchester the tone of business continues firm, and an extensive demand was experienced last week for home consumption and for exporttaion. Cloths of all descriptions are at higher values, and goods suitable for the India and China markets are inquired for at improved quota tions. At Leeds the demand is steady, although the regular course of business has been somewhat inter fered with by the festivities connected with the Queen's visit. The general condition of the woollen trade is prosperous, and there are excel lent prospects for the operatives throughout the ensuing winter. The worsted trade at Bradford continues tolerably active. Yarns are in good demand and prices are firm. A fair amount of business has been done in light fancy goods, and some large transactions have also taken place in heavy descriptions chiefly for home consumption. The working classes of the district were well employed. There was an active demand at Halifax for piece goods, and carpets were at slightly improved rates. At Leicester the hosiery trade continues active. In the lace trade at Nottingham slightly improved values are in request. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has exhibited little change of im portance. A few South American orders had been given out, and there is a prospect of a speedy improvement. In the various fancy trades of the district there has been little alteration. The jewellery trade was exceedingly dull ; but in tin-plate and lacquered ware there had been a slight improvement. At Sheffield and Wol verhampton there are symptoms of gradual im provement, but the orders for exportation are very . limited. .In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, a moderate amount of business was transacted, and values of all descriptions were supported. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed firmly, at former quotations. The amount of gold taken into the Bank on Saturday was £40,000. The only arrival of importance announced to-day is the Arabia, from New York, with £ 5 7, 936 in specie. The general prospects of the Money Market are in favour of the continuance of easiness and abun dance for several months. Perhaps occasional va riations may take place both in the demand for and value of accommodation, according as the engage ments, financial as well as mercantile, may be more or less extensive ; but these fitful fluctuations do not always give a reliable clue to the tendency of the market ; nor must it be supposed, whenever there is the slightest adverse movement, that a permanent reaction has commenced. It is quite probable that alterations of this nature will be experienced. Already, within the last few weeks, symptoms of increased activity have appeared ; but renewed plethora, with a diminished inquiry, has immedi ately followed. It is not an exaggeration to say that at least half-a-million sterling will have to be Provided before the end of the year, for loans and public companies, besides what may be required for other and more ordinary purposes. But the sup plies still available are immense, and it will also be observed, as a circumstance which must have the effect of neutralising a partial return of pressure, that might otherwise result from these disbursements, that the imports of the precious metals still continue exceedingly large, while the efflux is likely to remain much under the average of the last few years. A rapid uninterrupted accumulation of specie seems to be insured by the position of trade, the Foreign Exchanges and the Wite of the Continental money markets ; even the loans lately negotiated will, for the most part, be expended in this country. Under these circumstances, and with the knowledge that the growth of trade must be very gradual, and that reckless speculation is eschewed, confidence may be felt in the maintenance of the present easy rates, although a temporary rise of or a- per cent. may 'be pccasionally reported. ' . There was a meeting of the Brazilian Land and Mining Company to-day, when it was stated that the reports of Captain Trelowe were awaited as to the real value of the property of the National Bra- Fiitiftn Mining Association, which this company is dvsiregs of purchasing after liquidating its liabili ties. Several encouraging statements were made as to persevering in this object, and after a vote of thanks to Mr. Shepherd, the chairman, the meeting Adjourned. The English Funds opened buoyantly, but busi- Noss is still very dull, and the settlement in Foreign fitqclis and Railway Shares occupies the chief at tention of the members. It requires a very little pressure of stock to create a fractional decline, and flze non-appearance at the usual hour of the Bank J3roicer as a buyer was again made the pretext for speculative sales. A decline of -1- per cent. conse quently ensued ; but the tone of the market is still very strong, and there has since been a reaction. Consols have been 97k for money, and 97/ a for account. The New Threes have been specially transferred at 97a, and the Reduced at 97-1. A purchase of the New 21 per Cents. has been e gfected at 811. The March Exchequer Bills are 92 0 , to 355. prem., and India Stock is 217. pig gust India Debentures are well maintained at their late improvement, the first issue being 981 I, and the second ditto 981. The Foreign Market is active, owing to the half monthly liquidation. Most of the transactions are connected with the settlement, but prices are firm. Spanish Passive have risen to 12 a 4 ; the Certifi cates are firm at 51; the Threes are 461 4 ; and the Deferred 29k 1, being also an improvement. Sardinian 5 per Cents. have been:dealt in at 921 4 ; Venezuela 5 per Cents. have recovered to 391; and tprinian 41 per Cents. are 901 . 911 ; Grenada Deferred, 61; and Brazilian 41 per Cents., 96. Turkish 6 per Cents. are firm, at 951 96. The Turkish Scrip is a a premium, being firm. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been of a very limited character. The usual arrangement for the liquidation of the half-monthly account being now in progress, prices have shown a downward tendency, but the variations have not been important. Caledonian and Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln have declined ss. ; Edin burgh, Perth, and Dundee, North-Western, South= Western, and North Eastern (Berwick), 10s.; Eastern Counties, North British, and North-Eastern (York), improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings shew very little activity, and prices • are steady. Paris and Lyons have improved ss. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 10s. ; Lombardo-Venetian 'declined 55., and East Indian ss. Joint-Stock Bank Shares are at rather reduced quotations. Bank of Egypt have declined 55.; London Joint-Stock, ss. ; Ottoman Bank advanced ss. In the Miscellaneous Share Market prices are unaltered. . BRITISH FUNDS--CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cent.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplid with wheat. Fine samples sold steadily, and prices were well supported, but inferior qualities ruled very inactive. Barley and other kinds of spring corn were in good request, at extreme rates, but flour sold slowly. . _ Throughout the Contiuent wheat has commanded less attention, and the quotations have shown a tendency to give way, but other articles have commanded full prices. In the United States produce has become less active, although the supplies have not increased. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 10,521 tires wheat, 6,541 barley, 23,759 oats, 1,050 rye, 2,514 beans, 18.5 peas, 20 tares, 11,050 linseed, 13,190 rapeseed, 98 mus tard seed, 4,485 sundry seeds, 1,233 sacks and 2,608 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day from Essex the receipts of English wheat were on a very moderate scale, whilst from Kent the supply was somewhat on the increase. Although the show of samples of both red hnd white was by no means exten sive, the demand for both kinds ruled somewhat inactive. In prices, however, compared with Monday last, no quotable change took place. The general quality of the samples was by no means first-rate. We were extensively supplied with nearly all descrip tions of foreign wheat. Even the finest qualities were a slow inquiry. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, realised former currencies. Good and fine barley was scarce, and quite as dear as last week. Inferior qualities moved off slowly at late rates. The business doing in malt was only moderate ; never theless, prices were firmly supported. The few home-grown oats on offer sold steadily at full quotations. Most other kinds were on slow sale, at late rates. Beans were in fair request at very full prices. The few peas on offer were quickly disposed of at late rates. We had only a moderate inquiry for flour. Prices, how ever, were supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 12,028 head. In the corresponding week in 1867 we received 9,309; in 18.56, 7,578; in 1855, 10,370; in 1854, 10,088 ; in 1853, 10,517 ; in 1852, 12,167 ; and in 1851, head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK. From.

About 100 tons of hay are now being purchased in London weekly for ship ment to Holland and elsewhere. We were again extensively supplied with foreign beasts and sheep, but the show of foreign calves was very mode rate. The quality of the stock was miserably deficient, and many of the beasts, so called, sold as low as t 3 and each. From our own grazing districts a moderate supply of beasts came to hand, and the arrival from Ireland was ex tensive. Notwithstanding that the beef trade was in a sluggish state, no quotable change took place in prices, but we may observe that 144 Monday's currency was barely supported. The extreme value of the beat Scots was 4s Uhl per Sibs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,750 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 3.50 of various breeds ; from Scot land, 60 Scots ; and from Ireland, 960 oxen, &c. Compared with Monday last, there was a material falling off in English sheep. Sonic Downs and half-breeds were in fair request, at full quotations, some few of the latter having realised 5s per 81bs. • but inferior breeds sold slowly at late rates. About 600 sheep came to hand from Ireland. Lambs are now out of season ; consequently, they real ised mutton prices only. The few prime calves in the market sold without difficulty at last week's quotations ; but inferior veal was very dull, at barely late rates. We had a steady, though not to say attive, demand for pigs, at full quotations. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. a. d. s. d. a. d. a. d.

AlthOugh the accounts, respecting the potatoe disease, are somewhat unfavourable, these markets continue to be very extensively supplied with potatoes in prime condition. A full aver age business is doing in most ki n d s , as follows : —York Regents, 60s to 90s ; Shaws, 55s to 65 s ; an d in ferior, 35s to 50s per ton. Last week's impo r t s were 10 bags from Rotterdam. BOROUGH HOP. The supply of new hops continues to increase rapidly, and the general quality of the samples is very fine. The demand, however, rules heavy, as follows : Mid and East Kent pockets 9os to 100 s per cwt. Weald of Kent do. 6ss to 758 ' , Sussex do. GOs to 6,5 s 71 Yearling and old hops are very dull, at unusua ll y low cur rencies. The duty is still called £260,000 to £270,000. WOOL MARKET. We have no new feature to notice in this market. Al kinds of foreign and colonial wools, owing to the large stocks now held by the manufacturers, are a slow inquiry ; never theless, prices are well supported. English qualities are in steady request, at extreme rates. Last week's imports were 3,048 bales from Sydney, and 1,811 from Algoa Bay. SEEDS. Linseed has been in steady request, and last week's prices have been well supported. Rapeseed is .somewhat firmer at late rates. The few tares in the market realised very high prices. New mustard seed is dull, at the late decline in value. Cloverseed and trefoil remain as last quoted. Cakes are in fair demand, at fully last week's quotations.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.) IN RE J. C. WILSON. 26,514 The bankrupt was described as of Reading, grocer, &c., and to-day came up to pass his last examination, but the bankrupt asked for an adjournment, in consequence of not having been able to complete his accounts, which were in comne of preparation by Messrs. Hart Brothers. His Honour asked what had occasioned the delay, and was informed that the banks upt had been occupied a con siderable time in attending the sales of the stock and the lease of the premises, and his conduct was generally ap proved. Mr. Pack, from the office of Mr. Riches, Coleman-street, appeared for the assignees, and confirmed this statement, and his Honour granted an adjournment, with renewed protection. SHERIFFS' COURT. In reference to the case of Hollings - worth v. Baker— reported in The Sun of Friday last—the plaintiff mentioned to our reporter this morning that, although the defendant's wife had stated the " child she bore in her arms was born in the workhouse," he had " ascertained that dining h e r confinement she was only attended by a parish doctor at her own house, and had a box of linen from the authorities." At his request our reporter mentions this matter, though it does not appear material to the case. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) LAW FOR THE DOCTORS.-THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, IVET.CH V. THOMPSON. In this case plaintiff sued for £5 4s. 6d., medicines sup plied-to defendant, who avei:ed that he did not owe plain tiff any money. A Mr. Langley had supplied defendant with medicines, but they had been paid for. Plaintiff said that defendant very well knew the account now sued for was due to Mr. Langley, who, being dead, was now represented by plaintiff as executor. His Hon - our—Then that fact should have been notified on the summons. As the defendant is present we can amend the summons. Defendant—l paid Mr. Langley. His Honour—l see by the bill that defendant could plead the statute of limitations as to £l. Plaintiff—l think not. You see he paid £1 on the 22d August, 1852. His Honour—Well and as you did not take out the summons till the 24th August, 1858, it is very clear that he can plead. Plaintiff—That's very hard upon medical men. Some times we let a bill stand five, six, or seven years. His Honour—l confess I don't see the hardship. One law must do for all classes, both doctors and executors included. Defendant—He's put down just twice as much as I had. His Honour—Oh, no ! You've taken the physic and forgotten it—(laughter)—though, by-the-bye, that's not very likely. (Roars of laughter). I think some reduction should be made. It's very evident that the £1 must come out. I will give plaintiff a verdict for £3 10s. THE SAME V. FIELDEN. In this case, defendant not appearing, his Honour non suited plaintiff, and stated that in all cases where executors sued, the fact must be notified on the summons. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AGGRAVATED CASE OF DESERTING A FAMILY.—Peter Brine, 49, a tailorovas charged by Mr. Beaumont, relieving officer of the parish of St. Martin's, with deserting his family. Mr. Beaumont said that a short time ago he appeared at the court, charging the prisoner with creating a disturb ance, and his wife (a very violent woman) ith assaulting him ; the woman being committed, in default of finding sureties, for six months, and the man being discharged. Thinking he might enable the prisoner to keep his family if he had work, he took a good deal of trouble in the mat ter ; went to a friend of his own and got the prisoner a seat of work, relieving him and his family meanwhile. lie tol the prisoner to go to the person who would give him work ; but, instead of doing so, a morning or two afterwards he got up earlier than usual and left his family, who were ultimately brought to the workhouse by a lodger in the same house. The man had given him a great deal of trouble at different times. The prisoner said the reason why he went away was be cause he had been robbed of three coats entrusted to him to make. Mr. Beadon said when the prisoner was there before he said he had the coats at home, and that he wanted to finish them. The prisoner said if he said so he made a mistake for they were then gone. The owner of the coats said a lodger had told him that on the morning when he went away, which was after he had been at the court, he took a large bundle away with him. A person here stepped forward and said he had entrusted the prisoner with three shell jackets to make and could not get them for him. _ _ Mr. Beadon said it was an aggravated case of desertion and committed the prisoner for three months. The parties who had lost their goods could give him into custody when he came from prisone. THAMES. KILLING A CAT.—A poor and neatly clad Irishwoman came before Ifri Selfe to complain of a neighbour, who had killed her cat under circumstances of atrocious cruelty. Her cat happened to jump out of the window on one of her neighbour's children, and the mother of the child laid wait for the cat and broke its back. She then continued beat ing it at intervals during the whole of yesterday. The animal was lingering all day, and was dreadfully mutilated. It died in the evening., Mr. Selfe—You can have a summons against the party for cruelty to an animal. The applicant—And my neighbour struck me. Mr. Selfe—Then you may take out a summons against your neighbour for assaulting you. PLAYING AT BATTLEDORE AND SHUTTLECOCK WITH THE Poon BY PARISHES.—An aged and somewhat garru lous little woman came before Mr. Selfe and made a long and somewhat rambling statement relating to her family, and her husband, who had been a householder in Lime house 11 years ; and, as far as could be 'understood, at last was admitted into Ratcliff Workhouse. At last Mr. Selfe desired the poor woman to state what grievance she com plained of, and she stated that she fell into poverty and became chargeable to the Poplar Union, and was passed to her husband's native parish in Devonshire. Mr Selfe—When were you passed ? The applicant—About seven weeks ago. Mr. Selfe—What is the name of the parish ? The old woman replied Kingsber or Kingsbury ; on which a gentleman in court said the applicant no doubt meant Kingsbiidge, near Plymouth. The applicant—lt is a few miles from Plymouth. Mr. Selfe—How did you get back to London ? The applicant—The gentleman at Kingsbury, or what ever the name of the place is, sent me back apt said it was not my parish. Mr. Selfe—And what do you want me to do in the matter ? The applicant—l want you to•find out my parish. Mr. Selfe said he could not do that, but he had only this to say, if the Devonshire parish officers had sent the woman back from Kingsbridgo, if that was the name of the place, without appealing to the Quarter Sessions, and quashing the order of removal signed by a Middlesex magi strate they had done that which was illegal, and were liable, on conviction, to a severe penalty. He had hoped that the system of playing at battledore and shuttlecock with the poor of England had long since been discontinued. If the Devonshire parish officers had dared to send the woman back to London before the order. of removal was quashed, they ought to be punished. He could not interfere in the matter, and he would advise the poor woman to wait upon the clerk or relieving officers of the Poplar Union without delay. The poor woman then left the court. Mn. J. TOWNSEND, M.P., ON TIIE STAGE.- Mr. Townsend, M.P. for Greenwich, made his first appear ance as an actor at Rochester Theatre, on Thursday night last, in the character of the Duke of Gloster, in " Richard the Third." The theatre, long before the rising of the cur tain, was crowded in every part, and among the audience were a number of the hon. gentleman's constituents. On Mr. Townsend making his appearance on the stage he was vociferously cheered by the audience; which he acknowledged by repeated bows. At the close of the performance Mr. Townsend was called before- the curtain, when it was expected that he would have addressed the audience, wrio appeared desirous that he should do so ; he, however, merely bowed his acknowledgments 'and retired. Mr. Townsend is announced to appear at Rochester, on Tues day, in the character of " Othello." RAILWAY INTELLIGEATE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. It appears that Captain Huish is about to retire from the position which he has so long occupied in this company, and that the Board of Directors, on receiving his resignation, unanimously passed a re solution recording" their sense of hi s great ability, integrity, unwearied indust r y, an d steady devotion to the interests of this company during the length ened period of 18 years, as well as the expression of their personal regard and esteem." EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. The report of the directors of this company states that there has been a decrease in the traffic receipts for the half-year ending the 31st July last of £4,436 as compared. with the corresponding period of 1857. The working expenses, after deduction of the sum due for working the Helensburgh Railway, amount to £52,227, or 38 per cent. The charge for inte rest was £2,714 in excess, arising in some degree from the heavy payments made for temporary ad vances in the beginning of the year. The net ba lance, after payment of all charges and providing £12,000 on the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway account up to the date of the transfer of that line to the company, amounts to £39,842, which, with a balance of 11,287 from last half-year, makes a total of £41,129, from which the directors recommend payment of the 5 per cent. preference dividend, amounting to £6,875, and of a dividend on the or dinary stock at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, or £33,350, carrying forward £905. With respect to the capital account the sum of £3,654 has been expended on works in hand, estimated in last re port to cost £16,500. The directors see no reason to doubt that the balance of £12,846 will complete these works. In like manner £3,894 has been paid towards the £12,000 then estimated as necessary for new plant wanted on account of the opening of the Helensburgh Railway. There was also a charge of £1,333 against that railway, the interest on the amount paid for the corzipan?s share of the line up to the Ist June last, the date of its being opened for traffic. The total cost o f the company's share, or ane-third of the Glasgow, Dumbarton, and Helensburgh Railway, amounts to £89,058 ; and although the two months for which the line has been open form too short a period to warrant an absolute conclusion on what the net annual revenue will be, the directors are of opinion that there will be a fair interest earned for the capital invested. That company's accounts not being filially adjusted, an estimated dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. only on the company's share has been taken credit for. The act for the transfer of the Stirling and Dun fermline Railway to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company was passed in the last session. The stock c£450,060, at 4 per cent.) has been created and issued to the company, and X 130,000 of debenture debt has been assumed. .The expenses of the act have yet to be paid, and there will be some adjust.. ment of balances with the Stirling and Dunfermline Company, but this long-debated matter may now be considered as virtually closed. The agreement be tween the Caledonian, Scottish Central, and this company continues to work very s4isfactorily. The previous agreement with the Scottish Central Com pany, referred to in the report of March, 1855, has been renewed for a further period of six years. The capital account to 31st of July last showed that £254,513 had been received, and £4,228,972 ex pended, leaving a balance of £25,540. The revenue account for the half-year ending 31st of July showed that £144,371 had been received, and. £56,841 expended in working, £25,811 interest on debentures; and £21,875 dividends and rent payable to other companies, leaving £39,842. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN. The directors of this company state in their re port that the traffic receipts for the half-year end ing 30th June last amounted to £17,991, against £17,744 for the corresponding period of 1857, show ing an increase of £247. The expenditure shows a saving in the locomotive department of £429, an increase in the coaching department of £B9, in the permanent way of £6B, and in the general expenses of £l5. The interest on roans and debentures amounts to £4,319 against, for the same period of 1857, £4,026, being an excess of £293, arising from the renewal of a large number of debentures, and paying all existing interest on borrowed capital to 30th June. The accounts for some years past have shown an excess of expenditure over the authorised capi tal, but it does not much, if at all, exceed £17,000. Owing to the constant claims for land conveyances, which have since 1854 amounted to upwards of £5,000, and are a charge entirely beyond the con trol of the directon, and being unwilling to in crease the capital beyond the present amount, it is their intention to pay all future claims from revenue. With the above exceptions, the debts of the company are arrang ed, and with -some few_exceptions paid. Neither do they calculate on any further amount being expended beyond giving nci. ease d accommo dation to the Dundalk line at Enniskillen, and the Dungannon line at Omagh, when their junctions with the company's railway are effected ; and no other important works are in contemplation, or will be undertaken without the sanction of the proprie tors. The Dundalk line now conveys passengers to Lisbellaw, within four miles of Enniskillen, and that portion is shortly expected to be completed, giving a through route from Londonderry to Dub lin. The company's rolling stock and permanent way continue to be maintained in an efficient state. The mode in which the working of the line has been conducted for the past six months is very satisfactory, and continues to reflect much credit on the manager and other officers. After payment of interest on the Government loan and ordinary debentures and providing interest on temporary loans and liabilities there remains a disposable balance of £3,494. This sum is sufficient, after payment of dividend on the 6 per cent. £lO shares, to give a dividend of 2s. 6d. each on the £l2 10s. preference shares. These dividends the directors recommend to be paid on the 30th inst., leaving a balance of £lB for the next account. Were it not for the high law charges and extra cost of interest, both of which are considered exceptional, the divi dend on the £l2 106. shares, after paying all pre ceding claims, would have been 3s. Bd. per share, against 3s. 3d. at corresponding period last year. The capital account shows that £696,123 had been received and £698,473 expended, leaving a balance against the account of £2,350. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 30th of June last showed that £17,991 had been received and £10,303 expended, including £950 for Ilaw expenses, leaving a balance of £7,688.

NAVAL .. ,I PPOINTMENT-(THIS DAY.) Assist an t -P a Hannibal. ymaster W. H. C. Thompson, to the RETURN Op A DISTINGUISHED FUGITIVE. Lastfinight a tall man, withrather a stooping gait, and about 60 years of age, entered a public newsroom at the M /- est-end of the metropolis. He was dressed from head to foot in a suit of shep herd's plaid, and carried a sm a ll carpetbag. Froil long exposure to wind and weather his features were well bronzed, and his appearance, which in such a place was rather calculated to attract notice, suggested the notion of a Highland sheep-farmer. To every person in the room, save one perhaps, h e was an utter stranger, and yet he had a reputation which of its kind may be said to have been at one time, if not now, world-wide. For full three months of the present year his exploits and those of his confederates were a theme of conversation through all Europe, and his presence was so much in de mand in this metropolis that the Government offered a reward of £2OO for his capture, and the Whiehers, Williamsons, and Fields, with the rest of the detectives here, on the continent, and in America, were upon. his trail night and day. He I contrived, however, to baffle all attempts at appre hension, and now—the storm over, the prosecution against him abandoned and the reward withdrawn, the fugitive free from justice returns to his native country a free man, and, one would hope, a sadder and a wiser one. By this time the reader will have anticipated the denouement of our story, and will be saying to himself; "It must be Allsop." Exactly so. " The man with the carpet-bag" is no other than the veritable Thomas Allsop. He it was, as we all recollect, who one day in December last wrote and despatched the little mis sive from Ginger's Hotel, Westminster, to a Mr. Taylor in Birmingham, ordering the manufac ture of V certain small articles, which were subse quently used with such disastrous effects on the memorable night of the 14th of January in the Rue Lepelletier. He it was also who began the new year of 1857 by indicting another epistle, now matter of history, to his quondam friend Dr. Ber nard, applying sundry complimentary epithets to the Emperor of the French ; who again, in the autumn of last year, raised £4,500 by mortgage upon his property in Surrey, which in considerable part furnished the sinews of war to Orsini and his confederates ; and who furnished the passport given to himself in 1851 by Lord Palmerston, to Orsini, by which he was enabled to travel from this country to Brussels and thence to Paris on the murderous enterprise which inflicted death on se veral innocent persons, cruel injuries on many more, and the forfeiture of his own troubled exist ence by an ignominious death. There is no doubt that Mr. Allsop has been in London for a week or two, though he has escaped observation until now by all save his own immediate relatives, and a few others. It is said that on quitting this country ho went first to the United States, and after remaining there some time proceeded to Mexico, and thence again to California. So soon as he found it was safe for him to do so, he returned direct to England. Mr. Allsop was at one time a member of the Stock Exchange, and resided at Nutfield-house, near Reigate, his own property. Ile formerly lived at Redhill, in the vicinity of Lincoln. In 1847, when Feargus O'Connor propounded his allotment scheme, he adopted the views of the Chartist leader in that respect, and joined in submitting the pro ject to a practical trial on the estate at Red-hill. but it failed, as it did everywhere else. It is under stood that Allsop censures the negligence of Dr. Bernard in not destroying the famous letter which he addressed to him on the Ist of January, 1857, and which, it will be remembered, was used in evidence against both parties on the trial of Dr. Bernard at the Old Bailey. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS. IX A PASSENGEI? SHIP. A correspondent of the Northern Whiq makes the following singular statements :—Having just arrived here from America, I cons id er i t right to mention a circumstance which, I think, merits some attention from the British public. On the 10th of August last I took my passage on board the Ame rican ship —, New York, Captain —, master, bound for Liverpool. When a short time on board, I discovered, no little to my surprise, and, indeed, much to the terror of several nervous passengers, that I was in company with a party of lunatics. This may astonish your readers, but it is quite true. As they entered the ship their ghahtly visages, staring eyes, and unmeaning looks, unmis takeably indicated that the intellect was gone. There were about sixteen of them. It will naturally be asked if some Yankee asylum had disgorged its unhappy inmates. This, I understand, was liter the fact. These poor creatures, who, perhaps, ion since emigrated to the blessed country of the stars and stripes, and had spent the vigour and strength of their days in enriching the bloated republic s have been at length sent home to remain a to upon this country, or an insupportable burthen en their unhappy relatives, although they contracted their frightful malady upon American soil. The passengers suffered much uneasiness and.an noyanee dinin g th e w h o l e vo yage, as these maniacs had no p erson t o l o ok a fter them, but were al owed to range through the ship both day and nig h t, rum maging through the berths of passengers, , as tillingl sup pose course, eao haling 3no inositn hideousquest of f n f l o a o n d n , er a . n d O sc i rmiii . a and per son to take charge of them : their persons were foul and filthy , and their actions disgusting in the extreme. It is a crying shame that these mad men and madwomen were suffered to wander unguarded among the other pa ssengers. If the United States is to return its lunatics to this country, it should charter a vessel specially for that purpose, and not mix them unprotected among sane people. It was a woful sight to see these miserable weetches conveyed from the ship in a cal t up the streets of Liverpool. My history of them ends here. During the passage acts too odious even to con template were committed among themselves and sonic of the seamen. Surely some inquiry*ought to be made into this strange affair ; for I can posi tively say a more horrible and a more disgraceful occurrence has seldom happened. The captain denied all knowledge of their being lunatics. Let this be so or not, he can, at all events, give some explanation of this mysterious business. RAILWAY CALLS.
