3 IONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Accounts from most of the manufacturing dis tricts have been received. Business, however, has not been very active, owing to the near approach of the close of the year, arid the preparations made for stock-taking in most departments. The woollen cloth trade of Leeds has been dull as regards the business transacted, but the manufac • turers and operatives are fully employed in the preparation of fabrics for the spring trade. There has been a brisk' business transacted in Worsted hosiery at Leicester. At Bradford, Barnsley, and Huddersfield, only immediate re quirements have been attended to, but prices ge nerally were well maintained. Business at Bir mingham has been brisk for the season of the year, and owing to some orders from the United States there has been more firmness exhibited in the iron trade of South Staffordshire. Advices from the United States report increasd activity hi the demand for money at New York, and rather higher rates were charged for the accommodation required. The rate of exchange on this country still tended downwards. The City presents quite a holiday appearance ; nearly all the principal places of business resort ire closed, and arrangements have been made by Which the attendance in banking and a few other establishments that must remain open, is reduced to the smallest number possible. 2.1118 DAY'S MARKETS.

It was at once supposed that they had come from the ship Blervie Castle, Captain George API - lardy commander, belonging to Messrs. Dunbar and Son, the eminent shipowners, which cleared out of the London Docks last week for Adelaide, and sailed from Gravesend on the 15th. Great anxiety was of course evinced to have further information relative to the cases, and a meseage per electric telegraph was at once forwarded to the agent of Lloyd's at Calais desiring him to send imme diately the numbers and character of marks upon the cases. Yesterday morning the subjoined particulars of the wrecked property taken into Calais was received from the agent -- " CALAIS Friday. _ _ _ lAtlantic & St Lawrence Leased at 6 per cent..

P.; three casks without marks, 12, 62, 20 tin cases, a gun carriage, six bottles of wine, one bottle of gin, and seven iron hoops. The master of one of the boats states that these things were picked up about 20 miles to the N.E. of Dunkirk, and that he left a considerable quantity of goods floating about with the spars and planking of a large vessel. The cases bear, in addition to the other marks, the words Blervie Castle." Lloyd's agent at Dunkirk also forwarded the following :--- "Dec. 23.—Seven eases have been picked up 12 miles N.N.E.'of this port. G and C (in a diamond) C A 88, G B A (in a diamond) II 62, W H P (in a diamond) C M 259, 1 (in a triangle) A 34, S J (in a diamond) M 65, five of which bear the name Blervie Castle, besides one without mark and one containing a pianoforte. The third one (No. 259) is broken and appears to contain ready .made clothes. On the spot there was no appearance of a vessel except that of a mast." Immediately on the receipt of this news the brokers, Messrs. Grierson and Tweedale, of Princes street, who had chartered the ship, compared the marks and numbers of the eases with the vessel's manifest ; and it was at once seen that the whole of the wrecked property formed portion of the cargo of the Blervie Castle, and the fact was apparent that she must have gone to pieces, as the four bar rels marked " Booth, London," which had been landed at Calais, were known by the clerk to have been stowed at the bottom of the hold of the ill fated ship. The Blervie Castle was one of the fleet of Messrs. Duncan Dunbar, of Limehouse. She was a very fins ship, 610 tons register, almost new, having only been built two years, and was classed at Lloyd's A 1, 12 years. She had very superior passenger accom modation, and was chartered by Messrs. Grierson and Tweedale, and laid on for Adelaide. She loaded in the London Docks, and about 40 passengers had taken berths in her to proceed to the colony. Twenty two joined her when she left the river, and the re mainder intended to go on board at Plymouth, where the ship had to put in. She carried a crew of 34 hands, including the officers, and had a valuable cargo of merchendise, with some live stock on deck. The Channel pilot took charge of hor when she sailed from Gravesend on the 15th inst., and proceeded through the Downs with her, and left her off Dover on Sunday evening, when all appeared well with her, and she had a fair wind for her course down Channel. It was expected that she would reach Plymouth about Tuesday or Wed nesday, but nothing more was heard of her. To wards the close of Tuesday the wind shifted to the north-north-west and blew a terrific gale, with heavy snow, the pilots who were out describing it as an awful night. _ 1101 it It is supposed that the ship must have got some distance down Channel when she encountered the gale, and whether Captain WI - lardy, who bears a high character for skilful seamanship, attempted to run back or hold on by beating about, and was driven back by the force of the tempest, is a matter of conjecture. It is quite evident that the ship got back to the eastward of Dungeness, in the more narrow portion of the Channel, where both the English and French coasts are most prominently lighted, and when seen give a ship her immediate position. It is therefore ex ceedingly probable that the dense snow which fell during the night entirely shut out these beacons from view, and that Capt. APHardy was not aware of his situation. It was thought that she was lost either on the Varne or the Ridge, two shoals which stand in the centre of the Channel almost in a line with Folkestone and Cape Grinez. The Varne ex tends some four or five miles in length, extremely narrow, and has not more than a fathom and a-half upon it at low water, while all round it are sound ings at 12 and 17 fathoms. The Ridge is near to the French coast, a long and narrow shoal, and, like the Varne, has deep water round it. The gene ral impression is that the ship struck upon one of these shoals, and, after heavy beating, wont to pieces, and sliding off sunk in deep water. It may be stated that she was fitted with ample boats to save all hands, but in such a sea as prevailed that night it is very doubtful whether they could have Outlived it. BRITISH MINES. Share Mines.

The expenses on board have been reduce .A to the smallest possible amount, and pendir:_ 6 her inquiry going on before the arbitrators b -.. - etween the company and Mr. Scott Russell, no s7iorks other those which are absolutely necessary, are being carried on. When the arbitra tion may be concluded it is impossible to say, as the numerous engagements of Mr. Hawkshaw, and the other engineers who act as referees, prevent their devoting much time to the subject. The questions which they have to decide are exceedingly intricate. The question, of course, as between the company and Mr. Scott Russell, is with respect to the fitting of the ship for sea after the launch. With all that took place before, the arbitrators have nothing to do; whether with respect to that part of the ship built by AI r. Russell, under his original contract, or the portions completed by the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, under the direct inspection of Mr. Brunel. It was of course a matter of great importance to have the ship ready for sea as soon as possible, and after careful consideration on the part of the board it was decided that as Mr. Scott Russell possessed all the requisite plans and mo dels, and was also the only engineer who would undertake the completion of the paddle engines, the contract should be given to him. By the terms of the contract the vessel was to be fitted entirely as a first-class ship, and ample security was given for the performance of the conditions of the contract. Time was an important element in the contract. The sum agreed upon was X 125,000, t(! which £4,000 was to be added in the event of the work being completed within a specified time. The work was to be carried on under the cebtrol and responsibility of Mr. Brunel as engineer, and arbitrators were ap pointed to settle all questions which might arise. The amount of wori to be done was something enor mous, as may be supposed in a vessel ten times the sise of the Great Britain. Some portions of the I work were only required to be of a temporary cha racter; among these many of the cabins, which were only put up avowedly to serve for a short voyage, and some other parts of the ship, such as the deck, were to be completed after she had made her first voyage, or trial trip. When the ship left the Thames, Mr. Brunel, it is understood, stated that a sum of about £5,000 would be required to be expended in additional works, in order to complete the ship, and the whole demands of the Board of Trade may be complied with for something under £3,000. There are various improvements which have been suggested, but which are not considered as essential ; and when once the field of suggestion is thrown open to any person—professional or non professional—it is easy to run up a tolerable good list, and more especially when the cost of them is to be defrayed by other parties. The whole amount of these suggested alterations and additions would be oovered by from eight to ten thousand pounds. In the face of such a state of things as this, it is diffi cult toaccount for the panic whioh appears to have seized the proprietors of this magnificent vessel. There is surely not less ground for confidence in her now than when she lay an idle and unfinished hull in the Thames. Her powers have been tested, and they have been found to be in every respect equal to the anticipations of her designers and builder. The ship has made more than the 15 knots an hour which were required by Mr. Brunel, and which gives her a speed of 50 per cent. over that which is stipulated for in the mail contracts with the line of ocean steamers already at work. And this speed is attained with an economy of fuel and horse power which even exceeds the anticipations of Mr. Brunel. While the Persia, of 3,000 tons, burns 150 tons of coal per day, the Great Eastern, of 25,000 tons, does not require more than twice the consumption of the Persia. The Great Eastern is eight times the size, but consumes only twice the quantity of fuel, and gives a much higher rate of speed that the fastest ocean steamer afloat. These results, in a scientific point of view at least, are satisfactory in the highest degree. With respect to its commercial prospects, those surely are in no respect altered for the worse since it has been proved that, with immense carry ing power, the noble ship has the qualities of great speed and economy in consumption of fuel. It is to be regretted that conflicting opinions prevail among the directors and shareholders to such an extent as to interfere, to a considerable degree, with the satisfacto r y wor ki ng of the undertaking. Upon this and many other points connected with its ad ministration no doubt full explanation will be afforded at the meeting of shareholders called by the directors for the 11th of January. The chairman and directors of the company have expressed their determination of asking for the appointment of a committee of shareholders, and of giving the fullest explanation upon many matters, with resiiect to which a great deal of misrepresentaion has been disseminated by persons whose sole object appears to be to throw discredit upon an undertaking which has in it many of the attributes of a great national work.— Observer.

On Sept. 22, as her Majesty's ship Spitfire was steaming to windward, a brigantine, suspected of being engaged in the slave trade, was met off Agh way, Bight of Benin, running to leeward, which shortly afterwards anchored at Whydah, a noted slave depot, at which place her Majesty's ship Spitfire likewise anchored. For three days the suspected vessel remained there, pretending to dis charge plank and other cargo. On Sunday fore noon, September 25, the weather being thick and Equally, the brigantine left Whydah, and ran to leeward. Desiring not to lose sight of her the Spit fire steamed in the same direction that afternoon, and Lieut. Chapman having ascertained that she was not anchored at Jackin, to which place the bri gantine was said to have been bound, proceeded in chase, and came up with her working off the land, on a wind, at 10 p.m. No satisfactory answer being returned when hailed she was boarded, and proved to be the suspected vessel. The boarding officers returned apparently satisfied with the result, and with the account given by the person representing himself as the master of the vessel. Notwithstanding all this, doubts as to her honesty remained in Lieut. Chapman's mind, and there being almost a calm he decided on steaming back to Jackin, to learn some particulars of her having been off that place, which is a noted slave station. Having ascertained early next morning that a vessel had shipped slaves there the previous afternoon, he proceeded again in chase of the brigantine, and came up with her at 10 a. m., Sept. 26. Lieut. Chapman boarded in given the person, a nd not being satisfied with the anssersg n vessel, who person supposed to be the master ov f the said he had no papers, directed the hatches to be opened, whence issued immediately the frantic cries of stifling hundreds of wretched human beings, who were huddled together in heaps, naked, regardless of sex or age. At the same time two or three of the slaver's crew leaped out of the hold, naked to the waist, and begrimed with the blood of the wretch'..ld blacks,whomthey cruelly lashed into keeping sil ence , looking in every respect perfect demons. n i he flag that she unwarrantably had laid claim tP, was hauled down by one of her own crew, and the British run up, amidst the hearty cheers and joyful shouts of the rescued Africans. The vessel was found to contain 500 slaves, and was taken in tow to Whydah, and despatched next day to Sierra Leone, with the slaves all healthy, for adjudication in the Prizo Court at that place.
