CITY, Two o'CLocx. Accounts received from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday presented a very flat appearance, and prices of all descriptions slightly receded. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by exporters. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and quo tations were without any material alteration. The progress of business at the present time causes little excitement, the transactions in most channels, though increasing in a gradual and satis factory manner, being still far below the average when commercial affairs are prosperous. None but the over-sanguine and ignorant could expect an im mediate recovery to the full extent after the events of last year, and which are ably reviewed in the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the operation of the Bank Acts, and the effects of the laws regulating the issue of bank notes, as shown by the late crisis. The labours of the committee have been embodied in a voluminous re port which is well worthy of perusal, for although it contains few features of novelty, it is at all events impartial in reference to the general bear ing of that commercial revulsion, even though a bias may be detected towards the Act of 1844. So complete has been the prostration, and so ener vated must the energies of trade continue for some time, that it is rather a subject for co ngratulation that the revival has been so pro gressive up to this period. From most parts of t he country the advices are becoming less un favourable, confidence is expressed in the future, and few complaints are made in respect to the employment found for the operative classes. Unless more disastrous events occur, and Which cannot be apprehended, there is still rea son to believe that, with a good harvest, con tinued easiness in . the Money Market, and encouraging advices from foreign and colonial Markets, a marked improvement will be per ceived in all directions at the end of the Year. Still the movement, naturally enough, is very slow, and the quietude pervading Most circles has the appearance of depression, but it is only by comparison that an opinion can be formed of the extent of the amelioration yet at tained. If, then, the present position of affairs be contrasted with that existing two or three months ago, it will be seen that in most, if not all branches of business, there is a better feeling, and a still more substantial proof of a favourable change, viz., increased operations. Although there is a general, though limited, improvement in trade, the demand for money Continues restricted, and the supply is abundant. There is very little speculative activity in the ° get Stock Market, but the quotations are nevertheless well maintained, with rather a buoy antl appearance. The few operations recorded a ' c 'w a preponderance of purchases, and hence the improving tendency. Consols have been 95a for Mo ney, and 951 for account. The New Threes are 96 1 ; the Reduced, 961 ; Exchequer Bills, 355. to 365. prem. ; June, 235. to 264. 13r ern• ; ditto, B on d s , 10011 ; and India ditto, .15s. to 19 a. prem. ; Bank Stock is 224 226. In the Foreign Stock Market a large amount of . . uu siness has been transacted, and prices have "ciliated to a considerable extent.

ROBBERY EY A FIRE-ESOARE ATTENDANT.—Henry Farrer, a fire-escape man, of No. 9, Brown-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged by Mr. Inspector Parke with stealing an antique electro-plated tea-kettle of the value of 81., the property of Mr. William Percy Doyle, of 5, Half-moon-street. Martigny Milloz, valet to Mr. Doyle, said that on the previous morning he was in the drawing .room when, thinking he heard some one at the street door, he went dowr. and opened it; he then saw the prisoner, who was in the habit of visiting the housekeeper and her husband, go down the area steps. He at the time took no notice of it in consequence of his frequent visits. Shortly after, on going to the pantry for the kettle, he missed it from the place where it was safe shortly before, and the pri soner was also gone. He bad spoken to the house keeper, and she know nothing about it, Hemmings, 79 D, said, on searching the prisoner, he found on him an envelope with Mr. Doyle's address on it. He said he knew nothing of the kettle. He was at the time employed, with his escape, at the station in Westminster. Mr. William Percy Doyle said he had received a note in the envelope produced on Tuesday. He had had a conversation with the prisoner concerning it, and he said he was frequently in the habit, while at his house, of making memorandums, and he supposed that was the way he became possessed of it. The prisoner, who is a respectable-looking man, was then asked by Mr. Beadon whether he wished to say anything, but he said he knew nothing of the kettle. Remanded for a week. THAMES. AN EXTRAORDINARY MISTAKE BT AN AMERICAN CAPTAIN.—On Saturday morning last Captain Jones, the master of the American ship Clara, lying in the Victoria Deck, applied to Mr. Yardley for his advice and assistance under very peculiar circumstances. Re was accompanied by a gentleman from the eminent firm of Anthony Gibbs and Son, merchants, and agents for the Peruvian Government. Captain Jones stated that be bad for many years traded between New York and Glasgow, and when be paid off his crews at the latter place it was always done in five dollar or one pound notes. He had lately arrived in the port cf London, from the Chincha Isles, with a cargo of guano, consigned to Messrs. Gibbs and Son, who advanced him money to pay off the crew, and he received from them a great many 51. Ba k of England notes. Not being accustomed to the.: sort of money, be had paid them away to his seamen as five dollar or 1/ notes, and did not diQc - iver his mistake until some time alter he left the pay office, and commenced making up his accounts. Mr. Yardley must confess teat be was somewhat startled at hearing that an old and experienced Ameri can captain, and belonging to a pc ple whose care and t•hrewdne,s in all monetary transactions were proverbial, should have committed such an egregious error as to pay away 51. B sok of England notes for 11. notes. Tne Captain said he thilught the notes represented five dollars, or 204, and not 51. sterling of English money. Mr. Yardley said all our paper totes represented pouLds, not dollars, and our monetary affairs all bad reference to the pound, or aliquot parts of the pound. The agent said the seame❑ ought to be compelled to disgorge the money they received in excess. Mr. Yardley said the difficulty would be to get at them. . They were, no doubt, scattered in various direc tions. As a matter of common honesty the money paid in excess ought to be restored to the captain, whom be was willing to a4sist by every means in his power. He asked how much Lad been paid in excess? Captain J )nes replied upwards of 1601. Mr. Yardley said that was a large sum to lose, cer tainly, and he would cee what could he done. He directed police con table Taphn, No. 234 K, an officer attached to the court, to take the matter in hand, and endeavour t•i obtain the restitution of the Lumley paid in excess to the seamen, This morning Tap'in, a most intelligent officer, who has been often entrusted with very important tui:sions, rrported that he had been a•nJug the sail ire, and ob tained from them in all 1001. of the money over-paid to them. Ot,hers bad quitted London, and gone no or.e knew where, and some had spent all their wages, in cluding the money paid in excess. Mr. Yardley—You have receive' 1001. for the cap tain, have you Tap'in—l have, sir. I had some trouble in getting back the money. Mr. Yar liey bad no doubt of it. H e was b o th nu prided and gratiied at the suoces4ul result of the otti cer's exertions, anti he thlught the American captain was under a great obligation to him.

Sir Peter Laurie bad made arrangements to pay a visit to the West London Union, to ascertain the result of letters sent by Mr. Phillips, the Master of the Union, to various persons whom Robinson alleged were cognisant of her case, but in consequence of the day appointed, Tuesday, being a board day, the worthy alderman did not keep the appointment. Since the last notice of the case, Mr. Phillips has received a letter from Mr. Oldham, the clergyman in Glasgow, who had taken such an inte rest in the girl, in which that gentleman declares his in tention of not interfering any further in the matter. The girl's father has not addressed any answer to Mr. Phillips' letter, and the affair assumes a by no means satisfactory aspect. It is the intention of the authorities at the WeAt London Union to remove the girl to the Westminster Reformatory, where she will be subjected to strict discipline. Margaret Robinson is not the "interesting girl" she bass been de:cribed, but a weather-beaten and rather haggard-faced girl. Altogether a grosser imposition has never been practised upon the public.

As one or two inaccuracies appear in the para graph from the London papers, it may be interest ing, while correcting these, to give a resume of the circumstances under which this cause celebre comes on for trial once more at the present Stafford assizes. Mr. Samuel Swinfen, of Swinfen near Lichfield, died a few years ag e having, by a will made shortly previous to his death, devised his estates, worth 60,0001. or 80,e00/. to the widow of his only KW. The son had died suddenly a short time before the making of th;s will. After the death of old Mr. Swinfen, the heir at-law, Captain Swinfen (son of a half-brother, and per sonally unknown to the testator), claimed the estates on the ground that the will was invalid. The action to decide this wan to have been tried at Stafford in the spring of 1856, Sir Frederick Thew ger (now Lord Chelmsford) being Mrs. Swinfen's leading counsel. During its progress, Sir Frederick, contrary to the expressed desire of his client, en tered into a compromise with the counsel of the heir-at-law, according to which Mrs. Swinton was to give up all claim to the estates, and receive 1,0001. a year for life (not 3,0001. a year, as stated). Mrs. Swinfen repudiated the right of her counsel to enter into a compromise without her authority, and sought immediately to be relieved from it. The arrangement, however, having been made by a rule of court, application was in the next term made to the Court of Common Pleas to commit Mrs Swinfen to prison for net acceding to the terms come to by Sir Frederick onher behalf. On thisocca sion his counsel made affidavits against her; but sfter a very able and elaborate argument from Mr. Kennedy, Mrs. S widen's counsel, the court refuse I to make a rule absolute for her committal. A bill for specific performance was afterwards filed in Chancery, to compel her to accept ;he compromise. This bill was dismissed by the Master of the Rolls, and an appeal against the decision, entered before the Lords Justices, met with a similar fate, the court, after hearing Mr. Kennedy, confirming the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and ordeeing Cap ain Swinfen to pay all costs. Lord Justice Knight Brace, in giving judgment, condemned most strongly the course pursued by the defendant in harassing Mrs. Swinfen by a suit in Chancery. Mrs. Swinfen being thus completely freed from the compromise of 1856, the proceedings to test the validity of the will begin de novo, and the action s of Swinfen v. Swinfen is to be tried during he present Stafford assizes by special jury. Mr. Ken r:the edy will be the leading conn'el on part of Mrs. Swinfen, and Mr. Edwin James is specially retained for the other side. Mrs. Swinfen al-° brings an action against the Lord Chancellor to recover damages for having en tered into the com• promise. Mr. Kennedy will be her counsel in this matter.

LEWIS called the attention of the house to a comparison of the figures in the Appropriation Bill with the Chase llor of the Exchequer's statement when he introduced hi.; budget. He then estimated the re• venue at 63,900,0001., and that there would be a surplus of revenue over expenditure. The right hon. gentleman estimated the interest of the national debt at 30, 300,0 C 0 '., the charges for the army 11,750.000/., for the navy 9,860,0001., the civil service 7.000,0001., and the collec tion of the revenue 4,700,6001., making a total of 63,610,0001., compared with a probable revenue of 63,900.000/ , showing a surplus of revenue over expen diture of about 300,000/, The results of the votes in committer during the session, as shown by the appro• priation bill, were as follows :—National debt interest 30,300,0001., army 12,010,0001., navy 9,839,0001., civil services, 7,240,0001. and collection of revenue 4 73€1,000/., making a t , tal of 64,119,0Q0/ , but to that must be added 326,0001., the balance of former votes in committee of supply, of which the Government proposed to avail thetusAves, and th.t would bring up the total charge of the existing financial year to 64,445,0001, against an estimated revenue of 63,900,000/. ; therefore, accord ing to the information now before the hou=e, instead of there being an excess of revenue of 300,0001 over ex penditure, there would be an estimated excess of expen diture over revenue of 835,0001, which was the point to which be wished to call attention. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was true there had been an excess of estimated expen diture over revenue, but at the same tine he was happy to say the revenue had also exceeded his estimate, and ,f he were called upon to make a statement froas this time, his estimate of revenue would be much greater than the estimate referred to. The Gloomy state of things that existed when her Majesty's Government took office had cleared away, and the revenue for the final quarter showed an increase of 223,9441. income over expenditure, and that at a period when their expectations were the least sanguine. He found from a return that had been furnished to him the follow ing favourably state of the revenue from the let to the 19th July, in comparison with the same period of the previous year. In 1857 tee revenue derived from the cu4torns for the 18 days was 867,0001., for this y o ea i r . 1,003 000/., giving a surplus on the 18 days of 196 ' 00 (Hear, hear.) Excise in 1857 was 623 0001., it "II now 728,0001., giving an increase of 105,000 1 . Gear,3 00ea00/.. Stamps in 1857 was 297,0001 , it wa s now 4,_ —(hear, bear ) — giving a surplus of 43,0001 . (Hear, hear.) The post-office is 1857 was 30,000/., it was now i s n o c , r o e o a o B /B,ogiv ingsurplus a surplus s of e fo 2 u O, r o g o r o ea L t b r The a l r w e aggregate more than any other indicated the condition of the coun state of things would, he thought, allow hon. m em b ers to try, was 364,000/. on the 18 da y s. (Ilear, hear .) Such a meet their constituents eithout any gloomy views of the state of the finances of the country— (hear, hear)—and when it was said there was a deficiency instead of an in crease, be appealed to the figures he had stated as proof to the contrary. The date of the re venue was so encou raging, that her Majesty's Government, althuugh they bad the power of raising this year two millions, in order to pay off Exchequer Bonds, had only ava.led themselves of that power to the extent of one million—(hear, hear) —which they anticipated would be sufficient—(beat, hear)—so that if public affairs proceeded as favourably as now, her Majesty's Government would be able to reduce the debt this year one milli, n. (Hear, hear.) The right x r Lou. e emanremi on thendedth e house that revenue and p ngclelatie depended itu e policy pursued by a Government. (Hear, hear.) And after reviewing our position with reference to foreign countries, and our eoramermal prospects, he c included by observing that the income and expenditure was such as to give satis faction to every lover of his country. (Hear, hear.) After seine remarks from Mr. WILS iN and Mr. HAMILTON, Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer if he could state how much of the increase in stamps arose from the impestion of stampis on bankers' cle clues, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not exactly answer the quetiun of the hon. er, ror did be think it necessary to do so. The taxes had generally realised the estimate he wade in the beginning of April. S.r H. WILLOUGHBY complained cf the growing increase in expenditure of the country. It was becom ing a very serious matter, and tLe house must do some thing to ch ck it. The &lane s wore in a bloyant state hue tutfertuaatcly expenditure it:crewed according to the capability cf taxation. He had every confidence that the present goverement would use their utmost en eleavouss to reduce the Expenditure. After a - s.rne lernarks from Mr. W. WILLIAMS in rela tion to the increase of tx?mditura in the army and navy, The, motion was agreed to. The house then wont into committee, and the various clauses up to 24 were agreed to. 04 clause 25, Sir H. WILLOUGHBYmoved the followiug addition to the clause :—"-Provided always, that whenever, ISI consequence of an exigency of the public service, the commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury shall authorise t a appropriation of the public money, in addition to the aggregate su - n voted for any service in any department, every such appropriatio n shall be presented in a supple men'aiy estimate to be approved and sanctioned by the House of Commons if Parliament is sitting, and if Par liament is not sitting, then within one month after the I I meeting of Parliament." Sir G. C. LEWIS collected to the amendment. In- stead of its being a proviso it was in fact a repeal of the clause. The right hon. baronet contended that it wax necessary the Executive Government shduld have a die. cretionary power given to them. Mr. W. WILLIAMS supported the amendment. After some further discussion, The committee divided. The numbers were— For the amendment ... 41 Against it B9 Maiirity . The amendment was lost and the clause agreed to. The remaining clauses were agreed to and the bill passed through committee. The house resumed. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on tbia bill, Mr. BUTLER, objected to the motion. He con sidered they were legislating too hastily on this subject. There was a large area from the C ,tswold hills to West. minster bridge that contributed towards the contami nation of the Thames, which it was proposed to exempt from this He thought that those who contributed to the contamination of the river should assist in its purification. (Hear, hear.) He had another objection to the bill, namely, that a large amount of property within the area, such as the 1105 al Palace, Government offices, and public buildings, th a t contributed - towards the contamination cf the river, were to be exempted from contributing towards its purification, and hi moved the committal of the bill on this day three month©. _ - Sir C. NAPIER also considered that those who con. ributed towards the evil complained of should be oalled upon to contribute to its removal. An enormous quan tity of dirt was brought up the river by the shipping. and he wished to know why the shipping interest were not to contribute towards the works in question I Lord J. MANNERS expressed a hope that the house would not be led into ageneral discussion of the bill be- fore going into committee. There could be no doubt throwing dirt into the docks was an offence, and steps had been taken to prevent the recurrence. Sir C. NAPIER—That has nothing to do with the dirt from the shipping in the ricer. (Hear, bear.) Lord EBRINGTON said be had not sufficient confi• deuce in the Metropolitan Board of Works and the:r offi cers, to eatruet them with carrying out these works. Sir DE L. EVANS considered it was the duty of the Government to assist the Metropolitan Board of Woiks, who, he believed, were capable of carrying out this work. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said hi thought the best way to consider the bill was in com mittee. The prinople of the bill bad received the appro val of the house. He considered Mr. Thwaitee, the chair man of the Metropolitan Board of Works, was a practical and efficient public servant. (dear.) After some remarks from Mr. HEADIAIL, Mr. CONING HAM viewed with considerable alarm the interference of the Government in the manner pro posed. The Metropolitan Board cf Works were most indompetent for the important duties they would have to discharge, and he expressed his belief that the drainage of London would cost 30 millions to carry it out in a proper manner. He referred to the various schemes that had been :aid before the public, and severely criticised that of Mr. B:.zAlgette, and ridiculed his in spection of the sewers at midnight, when every honest man ought to be in his bed. (Caeers and loud laughter.) He contended that much of the evil complained of arose from the rain fall, and that the scheme prepoied was not calculated to remedy it. He opposed the going into committee on the bill. Sir J. SHELLEY hoped the house would go into committee on the bill. The Metropflitan Bard of Works bad great difficulties to contend with, but they had not yet been tried and f Arnd wanting. This was an enabling bill, and he felt sa - isfied that if the Metropoli tan Board of Works were called upon t) carry out these works they would do it satisfact , )ri'y. Mr. COX said the people put no faith in the Execu tive Goyaanent carrying out works economically, and he instanced the estimate of 750,000/. for Westminster Palace, but which had eat upwards of two millions. If the Metropolitan Board of Works had to carry out the drainage cf the metropolis, be thouzlit they would carry it out within a reasonable all). (Hear, bear.) He ex pressed his regret that the public Offices were not to con tribute towards the expense, and asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if be y.'as prepared to introduce a clause rating them triwards Gen. CODRINGTON askei if it was underst.rod that the Government bad trade it a condition with the Me. tropolitan Board cf Works that the intercepting plan should be carried cut, viz., by a succession of tunnels down to Barking Creels? Mr. WALPOLE thought these questions could be answered in committee. Mr. J. LOOKE (Southwark) wi,led to know if there was a foregone conclusion by the Government of any particular plan ; and if s), what it was It was neces sary the house should he informed on that subject. Mr. CLAY said the bill did not give her Majesty's Government power to decide on any Oar, but the Me tropolitan Board of Works ; and' he had the authority of the chairman of the Metrcp)itan Board of Works to state that that body was not pledged to any particular plan. After some remarks from Sir W. DUNBAR, Mr. J. LOCKE (Ho'Atop) thougbt the Government should give an answer to the hon. and gallant member for Greenwich. By doing so many oLjections would be removed, and be ar . d others would be disposed to go into committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said her Alujesty's Government were not connected in any man ner with any scheme for the main drainage of the me tropclis. All her Majesty's Government intended and professed to do by the bill was to place the Metropoli tan Board of Works in a position to carry into effect plan they might consider best calculated to attain the re,ult desired. (Hear, hear.) Mr. S. WORTLEY said the difficulty was, that what. ever the inter.fion of her '.Majesty's Government might be, the bid pledged the house to the intercepting system. Mr. SHERIDAN urged that the public offices should contribute towards the proposed expense. The house then divided. The numbers were— For going into committee 133 Against it Majority —122 The house then went into committee on the bill. On cause 1, Mr. lIE A.DLIM moved after "speed," leave out to the end rf the clause, and insert "such works as may be necessary for purifying the Thames and improving :.he drainage of the metropolis." If his amendment %as agreed to he should next move the omission of clause 2, when the bill would express no opinion on any particu lar scheme of drainage and the purification of the Thames. ([fear, bear.) The clause was under discussion at 4 o'clock, when the house suspended its sittings. The house resumed at 6 o'clock, and was [LEFT BITTING.] CONVEYANCE OF VOTERS. A ilpassed through committee in the H ouse l o o f r e i ° n b g in v ull „ y important cl suae :—" I t shall be e ns on Friday evening, containing ththewffuolle for any candidate or his agents to provide convey ance for any voter for the purpose of an election, but it shall not be lawful to pay any money or give any valuable consideration to a voter for or in respect of his travelling expenses for such purpose." This is an attempt s till f ur th er to diminish the expenses of contested Pat liamentary elections, and to pi event money passing on any pretence whatever from the purse of the candidate into the palm of the voter, We entertain considerable doubt whether it would not have been well to go a stop further, and to declare that the cost of bringing up voters to the poll should in no case or shape be paid by the candi date. Indeed, so far as borough elections are con cerned, we entertain no doubt at all, for the voters at such elections always reside in or near the place where their votes are to be recorded, and if they care anything about the result of tee election 99 out of 100 of them might easily come up to vote at their own costs and charges, which would only con sist in the expenditure of an infinitesimal amount of shoe leather and half an hour of time. There are few sights more repulsive to us than to see half-a dozen sturdy fellows brought up in a hackney coach from the corner of the next erect to the polling-booth at the candidate's expense —knowing, as we do, that these men made the coach a condition le; cc( dent to their voting, and had absolutely refused to exercise their franchise without receiving this most paltry consideration. We can hardly say that they have been bribed or corrupted, for they really get nothing that a sensible man would regard as of any value whatever ; but they show that they understand nothing of the importance of the franchise to themselves, except in so far as it confers upon them the privilege of a ride at the expense of the candidate or bis supporter'.
