'O2VEY MARKET L CITY NEII S. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days have shown more anima tion, and in some instances advanced rates have been realised. For tea there has been a steady in quiry, and the new season's crop has been dealt in at full rates. Sugars were in good demand, particu larly British plantation, which realised an advance of about 6d. per cwt. In the refined market, how ever, business continued - rather quiet. For coffee there was only a moderate inquiry, but most de scriptions of fruit continue in good demand, the finer qualities of currants realising high prices. Saltpetre has been inactive, and the dealings in tallow have been rather restricted as regards spe culative business. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 698. 698 3d. to 59 5 . 6d ., and end of the year 595. to . 3d . per cwt. Yesterday the directors of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company paid £443,600 to the Secretary of State for India in Council, on account of the capittl of the undertaking. a s umof £13,138 was a l so pa id i nto the Ind i an redsurY, to th e cre di t o f t h e Madras Irrigation 3:d Vit Land Company, in advance o f ca ll s , ma ki ng , h former deposits of a like nature, a total of £402,833 received since the 29th of February.

Without it England's ee Vith - f ,`" marine could scarcely have kept p oceanic marvellous growth of her commerce, and infant steam navigation would yet have been i i i n. 1tti C e 37 4 . 1 .) yen Bruners genius . would have quailed . a ny ot s.l r. ns the construction of the Great Ship in 15 Y tl i , " material; and it is scarcely too much to fe rrus• - i n at the abundance and richness of the kid t - cchis ores which are round in this island, bieuaryl the facilities for their reduCtion placed to "hat -and s by nature, compelled our naval f to direct their attention to the use o Illiltaefured iron in building vessels. s afer, e , ir° _,n ship, when well built, is indeed stronger,.

A " which within the last few days has car ye': -orr ow ;, and anguish into hundreds of homes.. itstf t r l btic the hearts of relatives arc yet bleeding, saddene Public is stunned with the immensity and ~._ne ss of its loss ; while many would try to 1.47 their g:ief in oblivion, and others would pref the,Q e°llteMplate in silence such an illustration of the reYsterious ends of Providence, I conceive that tale u r s „, ( ms Which the loss of the Royal Charter is d that th e causes t ,, u afford ought not to be overlooked, an Plete , 1 ; of a - wreck so sudden and so co . rn . - . l 'est' - eu 'd he most promptly and searchingly in Igat e , t Iw o `" t4NI uld, therefore, very earnestly and promi ,airt Ybr . an under the notice of your readers cer tioa „Reenetal features and practices in the construe last ,', -1 ' iron vessels which in my opinion are in the_ s e en to dangerous and reprehensible. It would_ Per lr t° eeqnmend itself to the common sense of shi p ' Ton that in building an iron sailing or steamd hilt wa ich is to be subjected to all the strains an s - etins. 4r ei h t ' S Of t empest tossed seas, which will be_ t he g ted with hundreds of human beings and th e 11?ost precious cargoes, and which must run tlu tn ils ks of collisions and strandings, none other tiale l ! ll e very best and strongest mate the bast be employed. The toughest iron,_ Ind :%t seasoned spars, and the stoutest planks tare, Te P e i ? should alone find places in such a ven is this .But in our ordinary every-day practice th oun ls • the ea „ ? Is not any kind of iron is th e good enough to build a ship with ? What aced w e an in g of " boat plates " being the lowest tap „ y ironniaker's list ?If we pay £25 or is u la Til for the plates of which a locomotive boiler . 9 Per t on -e ' why should we give only £8 10s. or 1 t en for those of which a ship is built ?If safety at'e only Be bought at the high price in one case, the Oth er 6 t courting disaster with the low price in tien in ? Who will draw the fine line of distinc r a lina,Moral r esponsibility between the directo r r e s , pht ee youY company who should take your fa dri ve . in a comfortable first-class carriage, and Nsa s - Joh at 40 miles an hour over a viaduct which plholhiserably insecure, and the owners of vessels . Pl ate send Passengers to sea in ships sheathed with Etts s which are as brittle as glass ? The only T ettr Wer to this question in the way of excuse is, I or that most men are really and truly ignorant don e e ,;-”ts. In the eyes of the merchant of Lon iron i' Liver In who orders the building of a ship, is ' s 'ron. He probably does not know that in th ere Material there are as many shades of quality as eouiri,e, are in the wines or fruits which all bear on; tkp - 3, °n name, and yet I am within mark when . creased he might by paying £ 2 (,r £3 per ton In she:tell Price upon the plates forming the outward eel's of his ship immensely increase the yes -I,,..trength and durability. or n' t ith th e ; good well-worked plates, where the fibre the se - ' T on is ductile and tenacious, and where th e Plates are well and judiciously fastened toge %lli' vessel, e ven i f wrecked i n such a gale as d elli e"f last Tue s d ay, would break to pieces so su h 3 ' and so utterly as th e R oya l Ch ar t er seems to Il le d one o e ti ti at built of the " boat plates" of the present day bpo n liel p the human freight of the ship that strikes 1 4 rocky shore! tr itet W . Quid therefore advise shipowners when con ssi th l ng for new vessels, instead of being satisfied bora sPecification which provides good ordinary . abo ut ' P l ates" to be used, and which . are in fact, in ade t,he.most rubbislting quality of iron which is th e I : to insist that the sheathing should all be of 1,00 0 e , s t , or double -worked quality. In a vessel of the ,aloes'h it would not increase the cost £5OO, and tlo rL .,, is gained in the greater strength and th e i`.', l . "ty of the ship, to say nothing or the lives i• 1 ‘ may possibly save. ew i arlher, I would caution all well-disposed ship s to look with great suspicion upon the cheap tee l r4 + ,Y, rich are constantly laid before them as I v i ti t:-atto ns , to order ships. To any one conversant pet ~4 snips value, what other construction can be th e 'Pon a contract for a vessel of 1,000 tons with es.,-,.%"5t expensive outfit for £l3, or £l3 10s., or th a s; 4444 burer ton measurement ready for sea than se a -- ,„ . °,e lder means to employ bad materials and ssi - t r,P his work ? He begins upon such an order o r a determination either to cheat his customer heeueat his creditors. But such vessels are built on th C lYde the Tyne, and elsewhere, and I maintain build ers the shipowner in buying them shares with the . 4 4 e _'ider the moral responsibility of a great guiltid tr:.s, for they are deliberately launched and shred to go to the bottom, SHARE MARIE YES FER DAY.)

The question whether Mr. Jay's men are to continue in work or not, after the repudiation by that gentleman of the letter of his foreman, as stated in our last report, is still un decided. Negotiations have been opened with a view of coming to an amicable arrangement, and as it appears that they will lead to that result, it is desirable to leave the matter sub judice. At the Paviors' Arms yesterday, the usual weekly divi dend to the men on strike and the "lock-outs" was de clared, and though it was only the same in amount as last week, the officials of the Conference expressed their confi dent belief that the reduction of 4s. to 3s. 6d. in the case of skilled artisans, and a proportionate decrease to labourers, would only last for a short time, and that when the pro vincial trades are thoroughly organised, their subscrip tions, in conjunction with those of the metropolitan societies, will enable them to resume the former weekly payments to both skilled and unskilled labourers. The dividend and payments declared at the Paviors' Arms yesterday was as follows s. d.

It is stated that negotiations have been renewed by which it is hoped that the dispute may be brought to a termina tion; but in the present state of the question it is consi dered inexpedient to state the terms which have baen pro posed, because they may be modified on further considerzsv. tion and discussion.

ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—A dissipated young man, named Ford, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with exposing himself and assaulting the police. Police-constable 37 F said, about noon to-day he was on duty in the Adelphi, and on passing through the dark arches he saw the prisoner and a woman indecently ex posing themselves. He took both prisoners into custody, and en arriving in the Strand handed the female over to another constable. At the corner of Southampton-street Ford, threw himself on the ground, and refused to walk to the station-house, and becoming very Violent, the other consta ble who had the woman in custody had to come to his assistance. The male prisoner, directly he saw his com panion at liberty, told her to run away, which she instantly did, and, after great difficulty and struggling, Ford was lodged in the station-house. Magistrate—Then the woman is not in custody ? Policeman—No, your worship, she ran away when the prisoner told her. - Magistrate—Do you know the prisoner? Policeman—l have seen him frequently about the dark arches, and the woman he was with is habitually there. The police are, to a great extent, set at defiance by the class who infest those places. Directly a constable makes his appearance they make their escape. The policeman is watched about, and directly his back is turned they all re turn to the arches, where the most indecent conduct is car ried on. Magistrate—There is a thoroughfare P Policeman—Yes, your worship, many persons paiS through to the half-penny steam-boat pier. Magistrate—The woman's a prostitute I suppose ? Policeman, 325 A—And so is the man. (Laughter.) Policeman 37 F—Ths woman is a bad character, your worship. I should have had her hero if the prisoner had not told her to " Step it," when the other constable had to let go of her to help me with the man. Prisoner—l did tell her to run away. Both of you were lugging me along as if I had made any objection to come to the station-house. I told you I would go quietly, but you wouldn't let me. Policeman—You called out to the woman " Stall your mug," which, you know, means run away.- The Magistrate said such conduct as the prisoner had been guilty of was most disgusting ; he should, therefore, fond him to prison for a month with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH STREET. ROBBERY AND ASSAULT WITH A KNIFE.—AIItOBIS Johannus Corton, a Dutchman, described as a decorator, of 16, Great Newport• street, and also keeping a café, was charged with stealing a looking-glass, of the value of £2, under the following circumstances : Mr. Debender said that on the previous night he was in possession at the prisoner's house for poor rates and other taxes, having a distress warrant on the goods in the name of Corton. The prisoner, who had been out, came in, ac companied by two men, ono of whom was named Moody and the other "Harry." The prisoner went up stairs and came down again, and, with the two men, went out; and on going upstairs to see if all was right he found that the key of the first floor room was taken out of the door and the door locked. He afterwards, with a man named Collopoy, who was in possession for rent, broke open the door and found that the glass was gone. William Collopoy said ho was in possession for rent, the amount being £66, and the landlord the Marquis of Salis bury. While in the kitchen the prisoner came in with two others, .and while one of the men kept him and the last wit ness in conversation the prisoner wont up stairs and shortly after came down, and with the two men went out. Suspect ing something wrong, he with the last witness broke open the door, from which the key had been taken, and then dis covered that the glass was gone. lie sent for his son to assist him, and on the prisoner coming back charged him with stealing the glass. The prisoner thsn took up a knife and cut his son across the knuckles. His son was unable to attend. Prisoner said ho would " have their lives." Tho constable who took the prisoner into custody proved seeing the son's hand bleeding. Mr. Beadon said it must be inquired into a good deal more, and remanded the prisoner till Tuesday next. CHARGE OP OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. —James Richardson, a well-dressed person, was charged with obtaining by false pretences 111 yards of black silk, of the value of £t 10a., the property of Messrs. Marshall and Snelgrove, silkmercers, &c., 151, Oxford street, and brought up in custody of Sergeant Silverton, 293 A, by whom ho was taken into custody at Romford. Some evidence being given, the prisoner, at the request of the solicitor for the Trade Protection Society, was re manded, it being stated that there would bo other cases against him. Superintendent Hannant, of the C division, watched the case. THAMES. CHARGE AGAINST A PAWNBROKIM.—A poor woman, named Ann Andrews, complained to Mr. Selfe that a pawn broker, named Samuels, carrying on business in Henry street, Limehouse, had taken excessive interest. She redeemed several articles at ono time, and the amount paid by her was Ils. 8?d. He made an overcharge of ls. for interest. Mr. Selfo—That is a large sum. Are you sure of that ? Applicant— I am, sir. I cast up the interest very care fully, and I find an overcharge' of Is. fitd. I asked Mr. Samuels to return the money, and he refused to do so. Mr. Selfe—Did he give yDu the particulars ? Applicant—No, sir, he did not. It was all charged in the lump. Mr. Selfo said the applicant might have a summons; and as she was not aware of the precise sum charged as in terest on each article, the whole must be described in the summons. SAD EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE.—A poor, half-starved woman applied to Mr. Selfe for some assistance and re lief from the poor-box fund under circumstances of a pain ful nature, and which have been too common in numerous families since the unfortunate lock-out in the building trade. The applicant said her husband had been out of employ ever since the strike, and she had pawned and other wise disposed of every article she possessed, except three chairs and a bed, for the maintenance of her chil dren, and the remaining articles must also go, unless some humane persons would lend her a helping hand or the magistrate would assist her. Her husband's tools were pawned, and she was unable to reedeem them. Her husband could go to a job.of work if she had the means of redeeming his tools. If that was not done the whole family must go to the workhouse. Mr. Selfe—How many children have you? The applicant—l have eight, sir—all under 13 years of age. Dr. Atkins, of the Mile-end road, has attended some of them in illness, and he can certify as to my honesty and respectability, and that my husband is an industrious man. My poor children, sir, are in a sad state. Mr. Selfe—lt is a sad case. This is only one of many arising from the effects of a strike. I don't know that I shall bo justified in using the funds placed at my disposal by benevolent persons in support of "lock-outs." It will never do to pay "lock-outs" from the poor-box fund, and some rule must be laid down or I shall be overwhelmed with similar applications. The applicant—My poor children, my husband, and my self have all suffered from want of nourishment. My hus. band is anxious to resume his work, but ho cannot do so until his tools are redeemed. Mr. Selfe—lt is a deplorable state of things. I really don't know what to do in this matter. The applicant—Oh, sir, think of my poor children want ing bread and my home broken up. (Here she sobbed loudly). Mr. Selfe—Well, well, I will listen to your very earnest appeal. Bring me a letter from Dr. Atkins certifying that you and your husband are deserving persons, and worthy of relief, and I will give you enough to redeem your hus band's tools. What is your husband ? The applicant—He is a plasterer, sir. The poor woman then retired with a lighter heart than she entered the court with. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

MISS MARTINEsU ON CRINOLINE.—DO the pet ticoats of our time serve as anything but a mask to the human form—a perversion of human proportions ? A woman on a sofa look like a child popping up from a hay cock. A girl in the dance looks like the Dutch tumbler that was a favourite toy in my infancy. The fit is so the reverse of accurate as to be like a silly hoak—a mas querade without wit : while, at the same time, it is not an easy fit. The prodigious weight of the modern petticoat, and the difficult of getting it all into the waistband, creates a necessity for compressing and loading the waist in a way most injurious to health. Under a rational method of dress the waist should suffer neither weight nor pressure—nothing more than the girdle which brings the garment into form and folds. As to the convenience of the hooped skirts, only ask the women themselves, who are always in danger from fire, or wind, or water, or carriage -wheels, or rails, or pails, or nails, or, in short, everything they counter. Ask the husbands, fathers, or brothers, and hear how they like being cut with the steel frame when they enter a gate with a lady, or being driven into a corner of the pew at church, or to the outside of the coach, for want of room.—Once a Week. SCOTCH TO THE BACK-BONE.—The terrace be hind Fife House, Whitehall, which looks upon the Th Imes, is made entirely of gravel brought up by sea from Banff shire ; the old Earl of Fife, when he was made a British p:er some century ago, having vowed that if he was forced to live in London half the year, at all events he would always walk on Scottish soil.—Once a Week.

The underwriters at Lloyd's required yesterday 40 per cent. for insuring the gold by the Royal Charter. The advance in the rate was caused prin cipally by the receipt of a communication from Lloyd's agent, dated Moelfra, Oct. 30, mentioning that divers had descended and examined the after part of the vessel, bt.t, owing to the confusion, could not ascertain whether the bullion4oom was intact. Its safety was looked upon as doubtful from the appearance of the wreck, and from the cir cumstances of portions of gold-boxes having been picked up, besides a bar of gold. It is also men tioned that 300 sovereigns have been taken from the bodies of dead passengers. The divers have reco vered some ingots of copper, which were stored in the orlop deck, just before the bullion room. Should the boxes have been broken, there will be some dif ficulty in finding the gold. At this period of the year the uncertain weather imposes fresh obstacles to diving operations. Accounts from Moelfra Bay yesterday afternoon state that two divers made a descent on Sunday, and remained a considerable time under water, but they saw no corpses beneath. Neither did they find any gold, but they did see some copper. Yes terday morning they resumed their descents. They have discovered no bodies, but, up to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, they had succeeded, with the assist ance given them by men on board the steam tug, in raising about three tons of copper bars. Tnese bars have undergone some smelting, but arc not in a finished state. There is a g0...11 deal of silver mixed with the copper. At 1 o'clock the divers sus pended operations fora short rest and refreshment. They resumed after about an hour's 'interval. Some additional articles of wearing apparel, with spars, &c., have b?en cast up upon the beach. Amongst these things are seven photographs, two of men, two of ladies, two of children, and one landscape. None of these have as yet been identi fied. There is a stocking with the name " Jane Mur ray," and another with the name " F. Davis" upon it. There is a portion of a shirt with the name " J. E. Smith," and another with the name R. Thorn hill," followed by the date " 1846." A large coarse wrapper has the inscription, " C. It. Ross, passenger, Royal Charter," painted in black letters upon it ; on a piece of a shirt, " E. Fenwick ;" on another, "John Lees, 1855 ;" on a piece of stocking, " T. W. ;" and on a small piece of linen, " T. G. There are a number of visiting cards spread on a piece of wood. One has the inscription, "Mr. Eddowes, 146, Cambridge-street, Pimlico ;" another, " Mr. Sam. Mosley Wade, Low and Cill, Liver pool." On a piece of linen is, " James Davis, Wood side 1859." Five bodies were washed ashore at Moelfra Bay, and seven at Penmanewr on Sunday. None of these have as yet been identified. No bodies were washed up yesterday. (From the Manchester Guardian.) Immediately after the adjournment of the in quest, on Friday, orders were given for the inter ment of the bodies which had been identified ; the remainder were kept throughout the whole of Saturday, and every hour brought a fresh accession of visitors bent on the melancholy errand of inquiry after missing friends. The distortion and disfigure ment of the bodies consequent on drowning, and the absence of clothing, made the examination neces sarily more minute and painful; but in some in stances the features and limbs were mangled from violent dashing against the rocks, and recog nition of friends was a l most i mposs i ble. Mr. Brabury, one of the survivors, whose statement was given in the Guardian of Saturday, describes one of the young ladies, whose bodies were lying in Penrhos Church, as the recognised belle of the vessel, and the charm and admiration of a large circle. Mrs. Foster, who is one among the lost, had gone to Aus tralia to superintend the sale of some lan 1, and it is conjectured that she had with her the whole of the proceeds of the sale. Her companion, Mrs. Wood roff, who has been identified, was the wife of an innkeeper in Melbourne; her husband is ex pected to follow her. Among the company at Bangor was an elderly gentleman from Glouces tershire, named Wright, who had heard of the wreck at Liverpool, where he had come in expecta tion of meeting his son, Mr. Iles Wright, of Eve sham, who was the surgeon of the ship, and who had written from Queenstown anticipatory of his arrival. At low water the remaining portion of the bull of the vessel is quite discernible, and when the neap tides prevail it is expected that much of the trea sure and many more bodies will be recovered. The fact that so few, proportionately to the number lost, have been recovered has occasioned much wonder, and is variously accounted for. The partition of the vessel is supposed by some to have enclosed the bodies as in a box. The debris of the wreck lies scattered about the shore, the woodwork being litciaily nothing but chips. The exact position of the wreck is about a mile and a half from the Llanallgo Church, where most of the bodies are lying. The Anglesea militia, the coastguard, and a body of police are placed there for the protection of the property washed ashore, and a temporary shed is constructed on the &lore. The nearest dwellings to the wreck are at Moolfra vil lage, which is more than half a mile from the spot. Capt. Fell and a staff of Lloyd's are located there. At the inquest, which is adjourned to Wednesday next. a strict examination is expected to take place into the statement made of the captain being in toxicated at the time of the fearful disaster. The statement is broadly made by sotne of the survi vors; but the owners of the vessel and some nauti cal men say they can triumphantly vindicate the memory of the deceased. Among the Lancashire people lost in the vessel, whose friends came to seek for them on hearing of the wreck, were Mr. Casper Lewin, nephew of Mr. Adam Casper, of Market-street, Manchester; Miss Wrigley, Byrom-street, Manchester; Mr. and Mrs. Kirkbride, Liverpool ; and Mrs. Robinson, of Southport, wife of the editor of one of the Mel bourne newspapers. THE IRON DUKE AND THE WELLING 10N PICIURES. I remember standing by the side of his grace when the publisher of the print of the meeting with the old Prussian marshal had invited the duke to seethe original painting. He surveyed it attentively, and after good-naturedly remarking bow capital a likeness the artist had made, of the aide-de-camp, observed that he wished he had seen the painter before he had begun his picture. He would not then have made so great a mistake as to repre sent the two generals raising their hats to each other. "We did inthing of the sort," continued the duke; "the moment Blucher came up he threw his arms about my neck and kissed me ; he was highly excited, and very muddy. In fact, we were both covered w!th mud. "nose were the duke's words. .... As for the other picture with which the duke is associated, it is altogether false. He never accompanied the Marchioness of Douro to the field on any one occasion. I have heard the pub lisher say how glad he would have been had the event really occurred..... The Duke of Welling ton was very impatient of these departures from fact, because, as he justly observed, it was so easy to get at the truth while the actors in the scene yet lived. All the representations (so called) of the battle of Waterloo were, in his eyes, puerile distor tions. For this reason he purchased Sir W. Allan's picture, which the reader who has visited Apsley House may remember, depicts Napoleon's side of the field. The Emperor is in the foreground with his staff; his battalions are moving down a slope to make the final attack. In the remote distance are the attenuated British forces, formed partly into squares. " That," said the duke, " may have been a true sketch. None of the others have ap proached the reality." But of all the popular pic tures which most offended the great duke, none was so distasteful as Salters's " Waterloo Ban quet." It is a marvel the old soldier did not pur chase it, and buy up all the engravings where with to make a bonfire at Strathfieldsay. Not that the portraits are all bad ; not that the general aspect of. the room and the table and the decorations is erroneous—these, indeed, are merits of the picture ; but the grouping is dread ful—an illustration of the highest amount of ill breeding. The duke stands, and the duke speaks : truth would hare represented every guest in an attitude of respectful attention ; effect .delineates one-half of the guests in the act of talking to each other, or turning their back upon their chief, till the artist at least might scan their features. Strange that the man who was all truth should have been the subject of so many lies! What is more generally credited than that the leader of the British host at Waterloo should have exclaimed, " Up, Guards, and at them ?" Even Siborne puts the passage into the duke's mouth. When, how ever, his Grace was asked, a year or two before his death, if he used the words imputed to him, his reply was, "It stands to reason I could not have said anything of the kind. I was too far from the men ; they couldn't have heard me for the noise of the artillery. I merely gave an order for the line to advance, and perhaps some of the aides-de-ramp called out to the Guards as they carried the order. Titan. GREENWICH HOSPlTAL.—Greenwich' Hospital, as was announced on Thursday night at the Mayor of Gateshead's dinner, is to be the subject of another inquiry by Royal Commission, and Mr. Hutt, our borough mem ber, has accepted the invitation of the Duke of Somerset to act as chairman (without remuneration)—a compliment no less to the constituency than to the representative.— Gateshead Observer. • The names most freely mentioned among the students for the office of Lord Rector of Edinburgh Uni versity (says the Scotsman) are those of the Lord Chan cellor Campbell and Lord John Russell. ExTENSIvE ROBBERY FROM THE MIDLAND RAIL "NAV COMPANY.—A system of robbery of the most exten sive nature has been discovered to have been practised upon the Midland Railway Company at Nottingham. For months past articles entrusted to the company for conveyance have been unaccountably lost, and heavy sums have been paid in some instances as compensation. On Saturday morning, Mr. Farmer, the detective officer employed by the company, and Mr. Palethorpe, superintendent of the Nottinghamshire police, went to the houses of two men named Robert Shel ton and John Manchester, in Clifton-street, Lenton, a vil lage near Nottingham. On the premises they found lace, brocade, sugar, tea, tobacco, guns, rifles, a number of locks for which the company had paid £49 compensation six months ago, and a quantity of other property, amounting altogether to over £lOO in value, which has been identified as having been stolen from the Midland ltailway Company. The prisoners were taken before Lord Belper and the sitting wmeaegkis.trayteosthathaticiebeeeonuinntlite-hafileliviancde of f ve t r h e e remanded for a TIMID EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Se;:en o' Clock.
