0/VEY _MARKET AND CITY IV EWS, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 21st Nov., shows some rather satisfactory charges. There is a slight addition to the stock of bullion, while the reserve of notes have been augmented by fully a quarter of a million. The public and private deposits both show an increase, and there is a small diminution in the other securities. The active cir culation has fallen off by about a quarter of a mil lion. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is no change of importance ; they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation Decrease .. .. £20,397,515 .. 261,7:55 13 357 131 , , 42,320 .. 3,205,625 13907 • • 6,073,597 269,575 • •: 12,665,022 61,230 • 72 , 5,661 53,136 • 9,490, 273 No alteration 20,298-,016 Bullion .. ..

The dividend has been advertised for payment en th.) Swedish Provincial Mortgage Bonds. At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Mr. W. H. Rowe, contractor, a composition of 108. in the po and was accepted, payable by three instalments. Ti ►e liabilities are £11,866 and the assets £6,489. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a fair demand prevailed for most descriptions, and prices w ere well supported. The sales amounted to 10,000 ba The Money Market is much easier, and as the rates in the open market range as low as 5i per cent., a decline in the Bank minimum is antici pated. _ Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about X 41,600, and the exports £1,015,000. The Funds have remained steady at previous quotations, but very little business has been trans acted either for investment or on speculation. Con aols have closed at 934 fi for money, and 932 1 for 'the account. The encouraging Bank return, and the increasing easiness of money have produced a favourable effect although the quotations are un changed. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 911 3, India New Loan is flat at 1031 a ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper remained at 95; ditto 53 per Cents. is firmer at 101, and Bank Stock at 222 and 224. No material alteration has occurred in the Foreign Stock Market, and business has been very restricted. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 to 73! ; ditto New, 581; to 59 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 1852, are firm at t 39; ditto, 1860, are flat at 88! ; and Russian 4 per Cents. have improved to 95. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have lateen moderately active, and priCes have shown a further upward movement. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, North-Western, and South Eastern, have improved ; Great Western, South Western, and Man &nester, Sheffield and Lincoln, 10s., and Mid land, £1 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have remained inactive without any material change in values. Paris and Lyons realised 35f ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 231 1,. Great Western of Canada have declined to 101,- 11k, and,Great Indian Penin sula are steady at 97. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue dull at about former rates.

Fruehard, ' Director ____ count Gat l a of the Discount Commerce, and with several president of the Chamber of eminent shipowners and mer chants. In the evening /q r. From was to be entertained a t dinner by the Prefect p Nat4es he intended to go to St. Nash bia °. The object of visit is, it is believed, to collect commercial information. Advices from Paris state that the drain from the Bank of France has been checked, and that there has been a recovery of £680,000 in the bullion from last week when the stock was reduced to £16,000,000. The arrangement with the Bank of England has given groat aatisfaactnigo the only ground for regret is that it was not adopted at first the alarm, w hi c h was at ene time becoming seri ous having resulted solely from the . clumsy character of the operations in the early stage of the affair. DESTRUCTION OF A CHURCH AT KILBURN.--A t a late hour on Thursday night a fire happened in the newly the Evangelist, in the erected church dedicated to St. John Carlton-road, Maida-hill, Kilburn. The building was one of the corrugated iron structures, being for the most part composed of iron sheets, supported by wood and iron columns, which, it is stated, wore cemented together by a certain portion of asphalte. It appears that the first dis covery of the fire was made by some of the choristers who were practising at the time. The fire continued its ravages, although the firemen laboured incessantly, until the whole of the church, the pews, &c., were reduced to a mass of ruins. The cause of the fire is unknown. _ --- ----- The _Dundee Advertiser says:—" Let those sneer at Mr. Baxter who will, he is a notable man. Therais no other man in or out of Parliament who in so short a speech could have mentioned himself 109 times over, and could in the first six lines have alluded to himself no less than eight imee." INTERNATIONAL SKIFF MATCH.—The prelimi naries for an international skiff match between Robert Chambers, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, the champion oar of Eng land, and Ward, the champion of America, are being settled. Chambers is likely to leave England with his backers for America in February,' and the contest will come off on American waters in the spring. i Valetta, '4lba, after harbours vith head return to ►derstand, 1 she had .ble to lay 1 Cagliari instances stains the elpomene Italion of of Major is, having If the 9th torke has nguished Edward Vienna, Ir-Admi e Buller. rday for on that A Malta lrington, 01.

THE PARTRY EVICTIONS. The Morning News publishes a doleful despatch from its correspondent at Partry, giving an I le _ count of the process of eviction put into operati on in that enlightened district by the Bishop of TU4III. The correspondent writes : " Partry, Nov. 21. " While I write the sound of Bishop's Thinkers crowbar rings in my ears. Three braises have already fallen, and the house of John. Boyle is this moment coming down with a crash. There are as many military police, and crowbar brigade en gaged in the work, or superintending its execu tion, as defended Spoleto for 12 hours against the thousands of Piedmontese. It would wring the heart of the veriest pagan, the sight presented at this moment—just ten minutes a beautiful house, now a mass of ruins. One man made an attempt at resistance, but, of course, in vain. Ile and his wife were dragged like beasts out of their neat and comfortable house, the abode of their fathers for several generations. The representatives of the Christian bishop seem t o take a kind of fiendish . pleasure the agonising business; you may see them going about as merrily as if at a wedding feast. But there is a Providence above, and this day's dismal work must sooner or later' have its just sentence. The crime of the man whose house is now levelled, John Boyle, is, that he lent Father Lavelle his cart, and that his cattle once trespassed wilfully ! The bailiff admits that the latter charge is false. " I write on my knee, seated on a knoll, overlook ing the ruins of the house. 7 ‘ P.S. There are yet a half-score houses to be levelled. Sheriff and sub-sheriff are both here. " P.S. 2.—This day's work over; to be resumed to-morrow." - The account of the Express correspondent is of a different character : " TOURMAKEADY, Nov. 21.—This day having been appointed by the sheriff for executing the habere, yesterday a large force of military and con stabulary were draughted into this famous locality. A company of the 20th Infantry arrived from the Curragh, and were sefely housed in temporary bar racks provided for them by Mr. Strahan, Lord Plunket's steward. The constabulary were also provided with aecommodation, and mustered in large force. It is the first time in '9B that the redcoats-- the ' therm derrig,' the red army, as the country people call them—have been seen in this district. The constabulaYy—the 'therm dhu,'the black army —were under Mr. Abbot, sub-inspector; the mili tary under Captain Rochfort. "At an early hour this morning Colonel Knox, the High Sheriff, drove out, accompanied by Mr. Acton, Sub-sheriff, and Mr. Moore, R.M. Mr. Jeremiah Nunn and Mr. W. Falkiner, Lord Plun ket's agents, were in attendance. As the usual sheriff's officers had been visited by the priests, and denounced if they attempted to assist in the matter, the sheriff thought it better to employ persons not resident in the county, and Mr. Nunn had also brought a number of assistants. Every device for the last two or three weeks had been resorted to. It was confidently asserted that the first man who attempted to 'pull down a house would either be struck dead miraculously or shot down, and the fate of Hervison induced Lord Plunket's agents not to employ any of those residing in the district. "At 9 o'clock the party started on their work of demolition the military, constabulary, sheriff's officers, &c. The first houses were those of Lally and Joyce, in Derryveeny. Zhe causes of their evic tion may be seen in lA's - pamphlet. The Rev. Mr. Lavelle, accompanied .by a monk, who acted as his aide-de-camp, rode up, and, when they were about to commence, he pulled out his watch to note the time, then looked about him and made no remark. The miracle was not wrought. The crowbar brigade set to work, and soon a gable was seen tumbling down, bringing part of the roof with it; then another gable, and the rest of the roof ; then a cloud of dust—and a heap of ruins was all that re mained. The people made no resistance; the houses were cleared before the sheriff came ; and, except in one case, where an old couple tried to dodge the sheriff and remain inside while the house was pulling down, there was no attempt to prevent the carrying out of the law. " The people are greatly disconcerted—some of them praying in Irish, Bad luck to his black mouth !—we never thought it would come to this.' It is sincerely to be hoped that this example, both of Lord Plunket's determination to protect his rights and to preserve the peace of the district and the lives of the .well-disposed, will have a salutary effect on the evjl- advised and misled people.

The Attorney-General, with whom was the Solicitor- General and Mr. Welsby, this morning applied to the Court to issue a writ ad nalins in respect to the death of Master Kent. The learned gentleman argued that the inquest ought to be quashed on the following grounds. First, that the coroner stifled the inquiry by telling the jury that they were not entitled to inquire into who caused the death, but simply astohow it was caused, wherDas the Act of Edward I. relative to the duty of coroners, directed specially, inter alia, that the jury should inquire m to how and by whom the death was caused. The second objection was that the record of the information was on paper instead of parch ment, as required by law. The third part of the argu ment was that the writ ad meius lnquirenduin must be directed to the commissioners, as if the inquest was simply quashed, matters could stand as though no inquest had been held, and the coroner could only enter upon any inquiry super visum eorporio, therefore, if an other inquest was held the body must bo disinter red. This would lead to no beneficial result, and would be a nuisance, and perhaps do much injury. On the other hand, if the writ were directed to a commissioner they would take evidence of the death without seeing the body. The learned gentleman having cited a great number of authori ties in support of the three points above stated, said he appealed to any gentleman having the proper knowledge and experience to look at the inquisition, and say whether it was such an inquiry as the case demanded ?—was it one that would satisfy the ends of justice ?—was it one that this Court as tjie chief coroner of the country would uphold ? He thought it was not, and he believed that the Court, con curring with him, would at once grant a rule absolute for a writ ad Indicts inquirendum. The Lord Chief Justice said, wo are of opinion that in this case there should be a rule, though not a rule absolute, but one in the first instance, calling on the coroner to show cause why the investigation should not be set aside by the Court, and a writ issued ad melius iNquirendum, and the grounds upon which we think the rule must be to show cause, and not absolute, are simply these :—The learned Attorney General satisfied my mind as to what he has stated as to the inquisition being drawn up on paper in stead of parchment—that would, however, still leave the great question for us whether we should feel ourselves called on to interfere where no one is prejudiced by what has been dune, and whether for the interest of justice it is desirable that in the exercise of discretionary power we should set aside the investigation on the ground of the informality which I have mentioned, namely, the inquisition being on paper—not on parchment—that must depend on the fact as to whether the substantial merits of the case have been gone into, and a rightful result arrived at. The facts and matters brought before us and the affida vits may admit of an answer, at all events it would not be be just or prudent on our part to act on the affidavits until they have been answered. I think we should spe • cially in this case do so, as the judicial conduct of the coroner is called in question, and the result must affect him. It would not be acting in fairness and justice to the coro ner if we were, without reference to what he may say, to exercise our power, and not afford him an oppor tunity of answering the matters brought against him. We think that having regard to the exercise of our discretionary power and authority, having regard to the interests of jus tice, having regard to our duty to the officer whose conduct is impugned, we ought only to grant a rule calling on th• coroner to show cause why the investigation should not be quashed, and a writ ad melius inquirendum issued. Rule nisi granted. LAW INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-JUDGMENT.-NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COM- PANT V ELLIOT. The Lord Chancellor said I am of opinion that the in junction appealed against was properly granted. His lord ship considered that the defendant had no right to work any mine under the arbuttels of the Victoria-bridge, over the river Weir, and that the 27th section of the act of Par liament prevented him from working his mines within 20 yards of the masonry of the bridge. His lordship dismissed the appeal with costs. (Before the Lords Justices.) MARSHAM V. MORGAN.-PHILLIPS V. MORGAN. APPEAL. -JUDGMENT.-IN BANKRUPTCY. This was an appeal from a decision of Mr. Commissioner Fane, disallowing two creditors' proof of debt against the bankrupt's estate, Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner reversed the decision of the Commissioner —Allowed the proofs, and dismissed the appeal with costs out of the estate. IN RE lARDIN AND BLAMOND'S PATENT.-PETITION. This was a petition to allow the patent to pass the Great Seal. The Lord Chancellor said—The patent appeared to have been applied for on 14th December, 1856, and nothing' has been said to account for the neglect of not applying to the Court before this time. It shows that there was no claim at that time, and at the distance of four years an ap plication is now made to pass the Great Seal. Ido not know what interests may be affected by the patent since that time, and therefore I dismiss the petition. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) JUDGMENT.—HOLDEN V. WEBBBR. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—After a perusal of the papers in this case I retain the opinion that I had at the beginning, that as against the defendant Webber there is no case. It is simply the ordinary case of a person claiming, through a contract, to employ agents who have power to perform diverse contracts of work for others. Ido not see how this claim can be enforced against Mr. Webber. The bill as against him will simply be dis missed with costs. With respect to Mr. Thyler, he was an agent, and he had great facilities for making such con tracts. He made a contract ,for 1L5,000, and obtained 5 per cent, commission on it, and if such a custom is legaLy and officially allowed, it will be protected, but the privileges must be proved to be given to the officers and servants of the railway company, who aro allowed to give these contracts to others who pay a remuneration to them by way of commission, according to the amount of the price of the work dono. The bill must be dismissed without costs against the defendant Kyle, without prejudice to any action at law that Webber may bring against Kyle and Lee. Whether he can bring such action or not I express no opinion, but my decree will not prevent hiro. JUDGMENT-LAYWARD Y. WARWICK. His Honour said in this case I have looked very carefully at the will, and I entertain the opinion that I formed, and was assumed in the argument, that the technical words, "issue male," must be read issue male claiming through the male lineal descendants. The declaration will be that the claimants take per capita, and not per stirpes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAI) MARLBOROUGH STREET. ASSAULTING THE POLlCE.—George Darke, a tailor, of 1, West-row, Carnaby-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Edward Tyler, 164 C, Georg• Cooke, 120 C, and Charles D. Langham, 108 C. Tyler said he saw the prisoner in Silver-street, very drunk, followed by a number of persons, and 'creating a disturbance, and on taking him into custody he kicked him several times about the legs. Cooke said he saw the prisoner kicking Tyler in a most disgraceful manner, old on going to assist his brother con stable he was also kicked by the prisoner. A crowd of about 30 persons obstructed them in getting the prisoner away to the station. Longhorn's evidence being to the same effect, Mr. Tyr wh:tt fined the prisoner 10e. for each of the assaults. THAMES. A REAL ROGUE AND VAGADOND.—Henry Hollings worth, a bricklayer and plasterer, late of No. 40, Edward street, `Nelson-street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on a warrant charged with refusing to support his wife and two children, and leaving them chargeable to the hamlet of Mile-end-town. Mr. Slight, a relieving officer of the hamlet, said the de fendant had deserted his family, and that his wife struggled on as long as she could. Tho hamlet had supported the prisoner's wife and two children for one week. The pri soner had not only basely deserted his wife and family but was living in a state of adultery with another woman, that woman being his own wife's sister. They cohabited toge ther as Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. He went to the house No. 5, Oxford-street, Stepney, and inquired for Mr. Roberts. He was answered by a woman who said she was Mrs. Roberts, and that her hus band was from home. The prisoner had been in the habit of beating his wife, had kept her without sufficient food, and finally abandoned her. Mr. Selfe—What is the character of the wife f Mr. Slight—She is a very industrious and respectable woman. The prisoner, in defence, said he could not maintain his wife and children, and that his earnings for the last six weeks only amounted to 20s. Mr. Selfe—You can afford to maintain another woman with whom you are living in a state of adultery, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Mr. Slight produced several letters from respectable per sons in Ratcliff and Mile-end Old Town who had been in the practice of employing the prisoner in the repairs of their houses, and had paid him 55., ss. 6d., and Cs. per day. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner's conduct was most immoral, cruel, and selfish ; and he was very much mistaken if he thought ho could with impunity throw the burthen of maintaining his family 9n the ratepayers. He should com mit the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond under the Vag rant Act, and sentence him to be imprisoned and kept io hard labour for one calendar month; and, continued the magistrate, " as sure as you have got a head on your shoul ders, I will send you to the House of Correction for a much longer period, when your sentence expires, if you don't support your wife and children." THE SHERWOOD KIDNAPPING CASE. The Sherwood kidnapping case was again before the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday. Catherine Davis, one of the persons in custody, was brought up by order of the Court ; and Mr. Stephens, at- torney for the prosecutrix, stated that he had fre quently informed John O'Connor, the late Mrs. Blake, and Catherine Davis, that, if they would each make an affidavit disclosing all they knew concerning the four missing children, he would net only consent to their discharge, but facilitate it They had,:howiver, preferred remaining in custody. Their Lordships ordered Catherine Davis to make the required affidavit, so far as she was concerned, with a view to obtaining her release from custody. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

The Empress Eugenie left Edinburgh on Thurs dvi to proceed on a short tour to the North. Before eleven o'clock a considerable number of persons congregated in front of Douglas's Hotel, in St. Andrew-square, and were surprised to see the 78th turn up to the square from Princes-street, and march up to and past the hotel, with fixed bayonets, in full regimental costume, and p rece d e d b y the regimental band arid pipers. As soon as the High landers approached the windows of the first floor were thrown open, and the Empress came forward and gazed down upon their kilted and plumed ranks with the liveliest interest, and with evident gratification. At length, when Colonel Ewart passed the window at the rear of his men, and saluted her Majesty en militaire, his courtesy was rewarded by repeated an d smiling acknow ledgments. We believe this demonstration was given in consequence of the admiration which the Empress expressed on seeing the guard of the 78th during her visit to the Castle on Tues day and a casual remark which she made, to the effect that a regiment of such gallant fellows in the Highland garb must have a very striking ap pearance. Acting on the hint supplied by this remark, Colonel Ewart, after the 78th had been paraded in the Queen's Park, ordered the regi ment to return by the Regent-road, Princes-street, and St. Andrew-square to the Castle. The military display greatly increased the crowd of spectators in front of the hotel, and as time passed on with out any vehicle being brought round to the door, a rumour of the true state of matters got abroad, aid the crowd continued to enlarge until, by mid-day, apparently from 1,500 to 2,000 people had assembled. Her Majesty expressed herself highly pleased and satisfied with the accommodation provided, and added that she had never felt more at home in an hotel. On the previous evening her Majesty had been pleased to send for the visitors' book, and in a few minutes returned it with her name in scribed (under the title of Comtesse de Pierrefond), along with the names of her suite, and followed by a note stating that she was " much pleased with the accommodation at the hotel." About twelve o'clock, the Empress having been descried by the crowd at one of the windows, enthusiastic and re peated cheers were given, which her Majesty gra ciously acknowledged. In the meantime, a message was despatched to Mr. Stewart, superintendent at the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Scottish Central Terminus, intimating that the Empress intended leaving Edinburgh with her suite and attends.nts by the 12.45 train for Perth. Long before that time, however, the platform had been promenaded by groups of well dressed people. The Empress, on arriving at the station, was handed from her carriage by the Marquis de la Grange, and she repeatedly smiled and bowed good humouredly in acknowledgment of the enthusiastic plaudits which resounded on every side. It was a far more ardent, as well as more extensive, ovation than the citizens had had any previous opportunity of presenting to the Empress, and her Majesty seemed to enjoy it immensely. After she had taken her seat in the railway carriage, she several times looked out, smiled, and bowed ; and something h av i ng apparently occurred, either in the demonstrations of the crowd or the comments of the other occu pants of the carriage, to amuse the Imperial fancy, her Majesty leaned forward once or twice seem ingly convulsed with laughter. The train at length moved off amid the hearty bursts of cheering from all who witnessed its departure. The Empress would arrive at Perth :a few minutes before four o'clock, and was to stay over last night in the Royal George Hotel there. We understand that her Majesty will to-day prosecute her journey to the north, and it is rumoured that she will spend some time in visiting Balmoral and other places of interest in Aberdeenshire; after which it is supposed that she will return either by Glasgow or Edinburgh, and stay for some days at Hamilton Palace, before leaving Scotland for the south. THE EURNiNG OF TtiF, RovAL MAIL STEAMER CONNAUGHT. The adjourned inquiry into the loss of the above steamer was resumed yesterday at the Greenwich Police Court, before Mr. Traill, police magistrate, and Capt. Harris, nautical assessor. _ . _ _ _ Mr. Cumberland attended on behalf of the Board of Trade to conduct the inquiry ; Mr. H. Valiance, of the firm of Valiance and Valiance, Essex-street, appearing for the Atlantic Royal Mail Steampacket Company. George Stewart, the chief engineer, was recalled. He said,—There is an entry in my log book that at 5 a.m. of the 26th of October (the day after leaving Galway) several of the floats of the paddlewheels were gone. The floats were 12 feet long, and com posed of three boards. Up to that time there had been no bad weather. On the following day, at 8 a.m., there is an entry of six floats on the starboard wheel gong. At 5 p.m. of the 29th there is an entry of the floats of the starboard wheel gone— the centres between the arms of the three boards. The boards were 4i inches thick, and the width 4 feet 8 inches. All the ends of the floats remained in contact. On the afternoon of Wednesday, the 3d of October, the day of leaving St. John's, there is an entry'of the floats on the starboard side being broken. We took offone end of the floats and put on temporary floats, nothing being done to the port wheel beyond screwing it up. At 1 p.m. of the same day there is an entry of great difficulty in starting the engine, there being too much steam at the time, which caused the valve to go stiff. At 2 p.m. there is an entry of the ship being very light and crank. At 8 a.m. of the next day there is an entry of six pieces fitted at St. John's having gone from the starboard wheel again in the centre. There is another entry on the same morning of port entablature of framing work ing very much, and a number of bolts gone. This would not weaken the machinery. The leak first became apparent about 7 p.m. of the 6th. The num ber of revolutions was then about 14 to 16, and the pressure 161 b. At 230 a.m. the ship's head was brought to wind, and the water appeared to be de creasing, but at 4 15 the water war found to be increasing very rapidly, the wind being on her starboard brew. Steam was kept up during the night, but there was a difficulty in keeping the fires in sufficiently, as there was water in the after stockhole. About 12 p.m. on the 6th I observed the stockhole plates adrift, being started by the washing of the water. George Ditchfield, purser of the ship, was next called, and having spoken as to the stowage of the stores, said—At 10 o'clock on the night of the 6th I was putting the lights out, and the passengers being dissatisfied thereat I went to Captain Leitch, and obtained permission for the lights to be conti nued an hour or two longer. The third-class pas senger saloon was immediately over the fore coal reserve. Between 6 and 7 o'clock on the evening of the 6th I heard a noise like the rushing of water coming throUgh the ventilator, which passes up from the coal bunker through the third-class pas senger saloon.: (It was subsequently explained by Mr. Valiance that.this ventilator passed through the upper deck, ventilating the third-class passen ger saloon, and shutting off the communication with the coal bunker.) I was not alarmed at the noise of the water, because I knew that a little water in the coal bunker would make a great noise. I had heard that some short previously the ship was making water. • Arthur Spofforth, the second mate, was next examined. After detailing the events of the voy age up to leaving St. John's, which have already been given, the witness continued—Between 12 and 4, on the afternoon of Saturday, the 6th, there was a fresh gale, and the ship laboured heavily, bu • noc more so than usual. About half-past 9in the even ' ing I was called up from below by order of the chief officer_ I ;ineulately went on deck and was ordered. to take a portable pump in to the fore stoke hole, I got a gang of me n to work it. When j,got I found about fo ur fee t of water, which waswasningt, but up the plates. The ship was listing s een uotw °r 9 and a nig t not anything particular. This was 10 o'clock.

Traill drew the attention of the witness to en tries made in the logs of the chief officer and chief e ngineer after the wreck and on arriving at Boston, as to the courses the ship was kept, observing that what he (witness) had stated as to the ship's course being changed during the four hours was directly opposite to their entries, and inquired if he was certain of being correct. Witness —Notwithstanding .those entries, I feel satisfied I am correct. At this stage of the proceedings the inquiry was again adjourned. A " communicated",note addressed to the .21/0/2i few du Puy de Dome contradicts, as the Marseilles journal'had before done, d increase the report which had been i circulation of a contemplate in the duty on salt.n TILE PAPAL ST,I2Ee. A letter from Rome, dated November 17, says— There have been rumours within the last two or three days of an increased probability of the Pope's leaving Rome, but as yet they do not seem deserving of much credit. Some of the Cardinals, it has bees said, are turning in favour of his departure, allured by the hope held out of a good position being t - cured to them under the new order of things. A seat in the Senate and a large increase of revenue are talked of as among those inducements. Probably these reports are at least premature, if not alto gether unfounded, but I give them to you in the absence of more authentic intelligence. This is the chosen home of fable. Yesterday all manner of wild reports abounded. The Pope was going, the French were going, the Sardinians were advancing from the South, and the French retiring as they ad vaneed—such were some of the tales in circulation.' Many voices declare that if the Pope does not gait is because he is blind to the fact that the pro per time for his departure has arrived. "He surely," say those who would fain see him leave, " will not wait until the last crown in the treasury i 3 exp. , nded, the last candle burnt out, and till lie finds it necessary to depart for a foreign land in forma pauperis. His expenses are Very heavy, and his revenue exceed ingly small. Does he reckon on the offerings of the faithful ? As yet they flow in bueslenderly." A leading paragraph in a recent number of the Gior naie di Roma announced that the Holy Father had deigned to allow the society instituted in Rome for the collection of Peter's pence to take the name, character, and privileges of an arch-confraternity under the patronage of St. Peter the Apostle, with the power of annexing other unions and confrater nities throughout the whole Catholic world tending to the same object--to that, namely, of succouring with prayer and pious works the Holy See. None, it is added, who are acquainted with the present private poverty will deem the offerings of 3,132 scudi in September and 4,301 scudi in October, deposited in the hands of the Holy Father, in considerable. Those who may smile at the smallness of some of the contributions are reminded of the widow's mite. " Certainly," the paragraph con cludes, " these sums are very unequal to the enor. mous and increasing necessities, butthey afford a pre cious and irrefutable proof of the love which the Romans of all classes profess for their prince and father, whose danger, if they cannot diminish, at least they alleviate his sufferings." This is all. very admirable as a matter of sentiment, but some thing more substantial will soon be absolutely in dispensable. Set against the expenditure, the 3,000 dols. or 4,000 dols. a month extracted from the people of Rome will be, even should the offering continue, as a bucket of water to Luke Thrasimene, and it is certain that from the Catholic countries of Europe very little has as yet flowed in. Austria has not the power'; Spain finds plenty of occupation for her money at home, she is anxious for material improvements, she wants to have railroads and a fleet, and her respect and sympathy for Rome are by no means so strong as in the days of the petticoat-embroider ing Ferdinand VII. Strange to say, the only potentate who shows a real disposition to supply the Pontiff with funds is Victor Emmanuel, ael ln would, we are assured, have purchased His Holiness's renunciation of his lost provinces. Queen Christina of Spain, it is reported, has made her offering, and Don Jose de S darnanea, moved by sudden piety, has it has been rumoured, followed her example; but, even if this be true, their resources are but those of wealthy private indivi duals, and all that they could give would stave off but for a little while the exhaustion of the Papal finances. Meantime the expenditure increases. There are the Neapolitan troops to support, and the pri soners taken in the late war are coming back by thousands, sent by the Sardinians with, it is under stood, the friendly desire of supplying the Pope with more mouths to feed. Two days ago the Sardinian corvette Cambria arrived at Civita Vecchia from Genoa with 1,116 released prisoners on board, making up about 3,600 that have lately been sent from the same port. It is certain that to a portion of those who have arrived (I cannot say whether to all) arms have been given, so that the project of a new Papal army is evidently not aban doned, although it possibly may be limited t o th e carrying out of the suggestion, said to have proceeded from Lamoriciere, that an army of 5,000 men should be maintained for the preservation of tranquillity in Rome in the event of the French leaving. If the French left, it seems more than doubtful whether 5,000 Papal troops would long maintain the Pope at the Vatican. In a former letter I mentioned a nightly demon stration, by hissing and applauding, which took place at the Apollo Theatre during certain scenes of the ballet of " Giorgio it Negro." As long as Monsignore Matteucci, the civil governor of Rome, had the direction of the gendarmerie, that demon stration was not interfered with by the police; it continued night after night, and seemed likely to do so as long as the ballet was given. But M. de M6rode, not content with having the whole Papal army under his direction, had for some time, it appears, desired to have the Gendarmes also un der his immediate control, and he lately succeeded in obtaining this from the Pope. Thereupon the frequenters of the Opera one night beheld, to their surprise, a large number of Gendarmes establish themselves in the pit, while others filled two of the upper boxes. The inflexible Merode, who in the exercise of his functions as Minister of War has acquired a very high idea of the value of military discipline, even in the pit of a theatre, had resolved to put a stop to the harmless demonstration, which consisted merely of hisses during one scene, in which an alteration had been made by order of the authorities, and of applause during the follow ing one, in which some liberated slayes were seen dancing. In spite, however, Of the presence of the Merodian sbirri, the demonstration took place, although in a more subdued manner than usual: The next night the same thing occurred ; the Gendarmes mustered strong in the central avenue of the pit, where they were placed evidently to intimidate the audience, who again modified, although they did not omit, their demonstration. But, in the meantime, on these two nights other demonstrations had been taking place in the streets of R me, which seemed much less safe than usual. Malefactors showed themselves; persons were stopped and threatened, if not robbed; and more than one sleek Monsignore, returning home on foot from an evening party, or perhaps from confess ing some fair penitent, was startled by the sight of a glittering knife. This would never do. It was evi dent that M. de Merode's talents, however compe tent to the direction of the War-office and to the organization and supply of a large and efficient army, were not adapted to the proper employment of a corps of military police. It was indispensable that the Monsignori should find proper protection on their evening rambles, so the gendarmes reverted to their Matteucci, who received them with open arms, and who, being of opinion that it mattered very little whether people hissed or applauded a bad ballet, dispensed them from further attendance at the theatre ; on observing which the Romans did of their own accord wh at th ey w ould n ot do on compulsion, and entirely suspended the demonstra tion. With respect t o t h e noc turnal attacks above referred to, and w hi c h seem to b ax e been rath er o f an alarming th an o f a very dangerous n a t ure, people he re o f c o urse sa y that they were got up by agents of M ons i gnore M a tteucci, with the o bj ect of proving th a t un d e r his sway alone were th e gen darmes efficient protectors Rom er a ! persons and prop er ty a s de after nightfall.

The coastguards and pilots brought the rocket apparatus from Man Haven, and after numerous fruitless efforts, succeeded in getting a line to the crew from the cliffs about midnight, and by 1 o'clock they were all hauled on to the cliffs, though in an extremely ex hausted condition. They were ioamediately removed to comfortable quarters, and were all recovered this morning. The vessel is the Arno, from Carthagena.
