A further sum of L 20,000, in gold, was with drawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The foreign exchanges' yesterday afternoon exhibited a slight advance in the rate on St. Petersburg. Increased quietude was apparent in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were tolerably well supported. The sales were only 8,000 bales. A meeting of the shareholders in the London Discount Company has been convened for the pur pose of considering the expediency of winding up the concern. Its position is not unsatisfactory, although - upon the liquidation a loss of perhaps ss. on each £5 share may be incurred, but there is a want of confidence not only on the part of some of the proprietors, but also among a portion of the directors, and it is consequently expected that a dissolution will take place. _ _ The uncertainty felt with regard to the proceed ings of the Bank Court, to-morrow, appears to have augmented the demand for money, and also to haVe created greater firmness in the rates of discount, but the market presents no change of importance. Although an advance to 41per cent. has begin gene rally discussed, it is yet extremely doubtful whe ther the directors will take immediate action, because the drain of gold has moderated, and there is an absence of pressure and stringency in the Money Market. Very little fluctuation has taken place in the English Stock Market to-day, but a firmer tone has prevailed, notwithstanding lower prices from Paris. The speculators have effected a few pur chases, and the prices are a shade higher, Consols being 93 to 93j- for money, and 93 for De cember. The New Three per Cents. and the Re duced are flat at 917- 4 2 ; Bank Stock is firmer at 232 and 233 ; India Loan remains at 1031 ; and Exchequer Bills are at 3s. dis. to par. About an average amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices show little alte ration. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701 to 711 ; ditto New, 571 to 571; Brazilian 41 per Cents. are firmer, at 884; Portuguese, at 451; Russian 4-L- per Cents., at 944 ; ditto 3 per Cents., at 624 y ; and Spanish at 49 -1-; but Sardinian are flat at 851, and Equador at 121.

London and China Telegraph. SWEDEN.—The close of the session of the Swedish Chambers took place at Stockholm on the 30th ult., with the usual ceremonies. Among the measures on which the Kin g congratulated the Chambers on havi n g ado p ted dur ' ;n g the session was one forthe perfect toleration of all re ligious creeds. TH E FRENCH TREATY.--It is stated in the commercial circles of Nottingham that the mode in which duties will be levied upon Nottingham hosiery goods will be ad valorise, and that on woollen, merinos, and mixed. goods th e duty will be 15 per cent. ; the same rate also upon cotton goods, with a prospect of all these duties being ulti mately reduced to 10 per cent. Both the mode and the rate will be highly beneficial to the Nottingham trade. __ O A BULLOCK CUT TO PIECES ON THE GREAT Nal:an:ill melt, t a L b w u tr oo TY wo es s te b rday evening . between l i nline by five the engine-driver, near the Seven o si s e e te rv rs t o o a n d I , ,i ii ts olloway.

He had ridden half-way up the mountain path, and leaving his horses under cover, came up on fo o t to his favourite look-out station. He was accompanied by Cosenz (minister of war), Medici, Bixio, Colonel De Abna (an American engineer officer who had recently joined,) an d three or four others. The hero wore his usual red frock, with a beautiful gold chain, worn like a lady's a rich silk h andkerchief over his shoulders, hanging far down the back, and, in place of his well-known hat, one of Spanish build turned up all round. He looked worn and pale, and also it little o u t of humour. It would seem that some application he did not relish had been made to him. In continuance of a con versation he had been holding with one of his staff, ho said, in his clear, magnificent tones :—" It is one of the disgraces (disgrazie)) of Italy, that, she has too many commanders. If I had b ut three officers, I should escape half the difficulties with which I have to contend. Surely it is as honourable to tight for Italy with a musket as with a sword." The a enemy of course had noticed the party, and presently sent the aim. u shell so directly over Garibaldi's head, that he looked up ulandodfs smiled, as though in acknowledgment of the accu racy The batfery was so distant that the smoke a n d csr lY be seen. The General now walked on alone, °nem bottles, which „ y s positio • remained at some distance, minutely examining the A.eq ua ! a r , then he returned quickly, called out three or f I" drank out of one of those singular glass ich are about the size of a well-grown child of his c ur Years old, handed it to his staff, who followed thes c.„,lazaple, and 4 v ar .4 . 9 , 04 departed as he had come.—Dichens's .4/1 I SHARE IL ORDINARY SHAttES AND STOCItS. !Mt stock I . lelfa ,, t Pnd Ballymena 'Col , and Str.

The prisoner ran down a corn chandler's man carrying a sack of wheat, and he was se verely hurt. The man, however, was very forgiving, and would not attend. The prisoner broke the fore-carriage of his cab and otherwise damaged it. The prisoner narrowly escaped being thrown from his vehicle. The prisoner said his passengers in the cab treated him, and he got a drop too much, but nothing would have hap • pened if the corn chandler's cart had not suddenly made a start from the side of the footpath. Mr. Selfe said the corn chandler's horse had nothing to do with the matter. The whole affair arose out of the pri soner's drunkenness, and nothing could be more dangerous for the public safety than a drunken cabman driving reck lessly through the streets. He fined the prisoner 155., which was paid, and his license was given up co Mrs. Jones, the owner of the cab. James Anderson, who was in the prisoner's cab when he was arrested, was fined ss. for being drunk. TBIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was a very scanty supply of English wheat on offer in to•day's market, in somewhat improved condition. Most kinds were in moderate request, but, compared with Monday, no change took place in the quotations. Upwards of 38,000 qrs. of foreign wheat having come fresh to hand, millers generally purchased with extreme caution, and for immediate wants only. In prices, how ever, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain ruled about stationary. Barley was in moderate supply and fair roquest at full currencies. Malt was in short supply and steady request on former terms. There was a good consumptive inquiry for oats at the late improvement in value. Both beans and peas commanded extreme rates, but the demand for both English and foreign flour was less active.

This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, on taking valuation of work performed under a building contract. 4.- -- ---- - -. The plaintiff filed his bill for specific performance of a contract for building a house at Chelmsford for £1,400, and for payment of the work performed. The defendant alleged breach of contract, by non-performance of work according to contract. The Vice-Chancellor referred to valuators to value the work performed, and decreed accordingly. The appeal was fully argued by counsel on both sides, and the Lord Chancellor now delivered judgment. The Lord Chancellor said, on the ground that the plain tiff acted under the belief that the agreement of tL e 11 t h o f December, 1858, was a valid agreement, and ',:nat he did so voluntary, and took advantage of it to 1:rio prejudice of the defendant, lam of opinion that tliO decree appealed against ought to be reversed, and that the bill ought to be dis missed. Ido not think aum called on to give any opinion as to whether tht lieintiff would have been entitled still to the benefit of that agreement, if he had fulfilled it. On this part of thb case Z shall only remark from tbs. - , evidence produced, that on the 11th of August, 1858, and far the reasons stated, that the plaintiff was not able to (Am on the work and complete the building accor big to contract—that it was for the advantage of both parties that the work should be abandoned, and the plain tiff paid according to the value of the work performed. ThrJ plaintiff acquiesced in the arrangement that the work should be completed by the workmen of defendant, and consented that a valuation should be made by the arbiters, Messrs. Chancellor and Copeland, and no objections were taken to their allocator, If the plaintiff had proceeded according to the agreement of the 11th of Decem ber, 1858, he would have been able to enforce it, but he consented that others should complete the work, and abandoned the contrast. The eases referred to of Wood and Downes are essentially different, and do not apply to the point to be de3ided in this case. His lordship was of o p i 'fion that the valuation and deci sion of the arbiter'' ought to be supported, and that the plaintiff was not entitled to t a k e a secon d valuation to re and set it aside. The Lord Chancellor reversed the decree of the Vice. Chancellor, and dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costs. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HEREFORD RACES.-TUESDAY. :'for two-yr-olds ; winners extra.

GEINTLZMINLY AmusEiv::NT.—lienry Thomas and Henry Johnson, gentle7den, and who gave their address 17, Strand, were ckarged before Mr. Beadon as follows t Henry Ricketts, 126 C, said—This morning, at two, I law the 'lefendants coming through St. Martin's •court, and 'aW lohnson let off a cracker. I cautioned him, telling him it was a dangerous practice. They went on towards Leicester-square, and in crossing the square I saw Thomas, to the best of my belief, let off another firework, and at the commencement of Coventry -street saw Johnson let off another firework in front of a cab horse, which was so frightened as nearly to throw the driver from the box. I then took them into custody, and on the way to the station Johnson pulled some more out of his pocket, and gave them to a female walk ing by his side. Thomas said he had not let off any, but that it was his friend Johnson. They were walking arm-in-arm at the time, and lit the fireworks by means of their cigars. I saw Thomas put his cigar down as if to light the cigar, and: directly after the fireworks went off. Thomas said he did not smoke, but this was denied by Ricketts, who said they were both smoking cigars at the time. Mr. Beadon said it was fortunate for them they were not before him for manslaughter. They called themselves gen tlemen, and yet, when they knew he had to punish little boys for the same offence, to think that they should sot such an example! It was disgraceful. Ile should fine them 40s. each, or a month. THAMES.

For the Ltserpool Cup Light remained very firm, 3 to 1 was taken during the day, but 7 to 2 was offered as the rooms thinned. There was a demonstration in favour of Moorcock and The Brewer, who each found friends at 10 to 1. Chere Arnie received another shaking, 9to 1 being the offer at the commencement, which very quickly became 20 to 1. An offer towards the close to back Weatherbound at 100 to 3 was not responded to.

Mr. Watt himself informed me that he never attended Dr. Tun' lectures on chymiatry, as , 1,.... 3,..,,, ettegull ; that he had been unfertuunteiy prevented, by the necessary avoca tions of his business, from attending any other lectures, and that he had a natural inaptitude for mathematics ; and yet there was no one among the chymical and mechanical philosophers of his day whose knowledge of these subjects, within certain limits, was so varied and correct and who had treasured up with equal care those irrefragable results which could be safely applied in the construction of great works. Mr. Telford air . had not only an inaptitude, but asingular distaste, for ma n th . matical studies, and he never even made himself a c q u T with the elements of geometry. So remarkable , indeed, W tea e s: this peculiarity that, when we had occasion to r n eraine a young friend as a neophyte in his office, andfou ed . re oommendation on his havingdistinguished himself in each he considered mathe matics he did not hesitate to say that fitting him for acquirements_as rather disqualifying than s far from being the situation.

A much grander whirlpool, owing its celebrity, not to the fictions of poetry, but to the magnificent scale on which it has been constructed by nature, is the renowned Mael strom, situated on the Norwegian coast in 68 deg. N. lat., and near the island of Moskoe, from whence it also takes the name of Moskoestrom. It is four geographical miles in diameter, and in tempestuous weather its roar, like that of Niagara, is said to be heard several miles off. John Remus gives us a terrible description of its fury, and men tions that in the year 1645 it raged with such noise and impetuosity, that on the island of Moskoe the very stones of the houses fell to the ground. He tells us also that whales frequently come too near the stream, and, notwith standing their giant strength, are overpowered by its vio lence, but, unfortunately adds, that it is impossible to de scribe their howlings and bellowings in their fruitless struggles to disengage themselves—impossible, no doubt, as whales happen to have no vsice at all. According to more modern travellers, such as the cele brated geologist Leopold von Buch, the Maelstrom is far from being so terrible as depicted by Remus and other friends of the marvellous ; so that, except during storms and spring-tides, large ships may constantly cross it with out danger. The Norwegian fishermen are even said fre quently to assemble on the field of the Maelstrom on ac count of the great abundance of fishes congregating in those troubled waters, and fearlessly to pursue their avoca tions, while the whirlpool moves their boats in a circular direction. Sir Robert Sibbald describes a very remarkable marine whirlpool among the Orkney islands, which would prove slanorous to strangers, though it is of no consequence to the people who are used to it. It is not fixed to any parti cular place, but arises in various parts of the limits of the sea among these islands. Wherever it appears, it is very furious, and boats would inevitably be drawn in and perish with it, but the people who navigate them are prepared for it and always carry a bundle of straw or some such matter with them. This they fling into the vortex which imme diately swallows it up, and, seemingly pleased with this propitiatory offering, subsides into smoothness, but soon after re-appears in another place. We will not detain our readers with an account of the ornothology and zoology of the Arctic regions, into which Dr. Hartwig enters at some length, but proceed at once to a more remarkable sub ject, and introduce a phenomenon with which, we think, few are acquainted. Since the colonisation of the Cape of Good Hope, and our acquisition of India and our Australian colonies, flying fish are familiar acquaintances ; but few, we think, have met with bona fide members of the finny tribe tak ing pedestrian exercise ; but Dr. Hartwig relates the following among his icthyological wonders : PEDESTRIAN PISII. The Frog-fish of the Asiatic islands and the Southern hemisphere is not more remarkable for its hideous defor mity than for its capacity ofleading- a terrestrial life. Not only can it live several days out of the water, but it can crawl about the room in which it is confined, a facility, which it owes to the great strength and the peculiar posi tion of its pectoral fins, which thus perform the office of feet. The whole aspect of these grotesque-looking crea tures, particularly in a walking position, is so much like that of toads or frogs, that a careless observer would at first be at some loss to determine their real nature. A no less wonderful pedestrian is the Hassar (Doras costato), a South American fish, that marches over land in search of water, travelling a whole night when the pools dry up in which it commonly resides. It projects itself forwards on its bony pectoral fins, by the elastic spring of the tail, exerted sidewise, and in this manner proceeds nearly as fast as a man will leisurely walk. The strong scuta or bands which envelope its body must greatly faci ' litate its march, in the manner of the plates under the belly of serpents, which are raised and depressed by a voluntary power, in some measure performing the office of feet. The Indians say justly that these fishes supply th e maelv . o r s L. w e n rs water for their journey. If they find the pool'snatnhde everywhere dried up, they bury themselves till the rainy and fall into a kind of asphyxia or lethargy, season recalls them again to life. ren t a l affection, The Hassar is also remarkable fo Ri c hard Schom rstiir almost unexampled among fishes. burgk relates that it not only builshisthaeomplete nest for its the utmost vigilance spawn, but also watches over it 01 ' .

This wo r k h as been received with great favour in Germany, and deservedly Our Continental neighbours' appreciationafo of th it s s u M . erits is proved by the publication of dition. The work before us is a translation fourth the German edition, partly rewritten and extended. Dr. Hartwig, although treati ng o f a subject .replet . e with the marvellous as th a t of oceanic wonders, ha s suc ceeded in describi ng the extraordinary inhabitant s peculiarities of the deep, the individual of th e most remarkable speci es , t oge therwith the vario us seafowl, mamalim, and m o l uscs which abound in all parts of the globe without drawingituhpon fancy. He commences his narrative With dissertation on the peculiarities of different climates, and endeavours to prove in 4 logical man ner that the changes which have taken place in I certain localities where rich fertile districts have, in the lapse of ages, degenerated into barren wastes is in a great measure owing to the wanton destruc tion of the forests by man, thus destroying the attractive influence which nature ordained to draw moisture from the clouds. But this law will not apply to all countries, for we find vast tracts of country in Australia well timbered but almost destitute of water. In treating of the height and velocity of waves, the author quotes from several eminent philosophers, to show that the poetical de scriptions which are given by too many travellers, of mountain waves that kiss the skies and over hand the masthead, are altogether nonsense, but that the reality of their force and altitude is quite sufficient to strike awe into the hearts of the boldest without drawing upon imagination. THI HEIGHT OF WA.TES. The height which waves may attain on the open sea has been accurately investigated by the late Rev. Dr. Scoresby, during two passages across the Atlantic in 1847 and 1848. " In the afternoon of March 5, 1848," says that eminent philosopher, " I stood during a hard gale upon the cuddy roof or saloon deck of the Hibernia 1 a height, with the ad dition of that of the eye, of 23 feet 3 inches above the line of flotation (the ship's course being - similar to that of the waves). lam not aware that I ever saw the sea more ter ribly magnificent; the great majority of the rolling masses of water was more than 24 feet high (including depression as well as altitude, or reckoning above the mean-level, more than 12 feet). I then went to the larboard paddle-b ox , about 7 f ee t hi g h er (3 0 feet 2 inches up to the eye), and found that one-half of the waves rose above the ' level of the view obtained. "Frequently I observed long ranges (200 yards), which rose so high above the visible horizon, as to form an angle estimated at two or three degrees when the distance of the wave's summit was about 100 yards from the observer. This would add near 13 feet to the level of the eye, and at least one in half a dozen waves attained this altitude. Some times peaks or crests of breaking seas would shoot upward, at least 10 or 15 feet higher. "The average wave was, I believe, fully equal to that of my sight on the paddle-box, or more than 15 feet, and the mean highest waves, not including the broken or acumi nated crests, about 43 feet above the level of the hollow oc cupied at the moment by the ship. It was a grand storm scene, and nothing could exceed the pictorial effect of the partial sunbeams breaking through the heavy masses of clouds." From the time taken by a regular wave to pass from stern to stem, Dr. Scoresby calculated its velocity at 4875 feet in each minute, or 32.67 English statute miles in an hour. The mean length of the wave-ridges was from a quarter to a third of a mile. To those who might be inclined to doubt the accuracy of these measurements, the remark may suffice that our cele brated countryman had been for years engaged in the northern whale fishery, where be had ample opportunities for practising his eye in measuring distances. Besides, the conclusions of many other trustworthy observers coincide with the evaluations of Dr. Scoresby. After describing the many curious effects of cur• rents, and explaining that the great difference of temperature between places in the same latitude situated in the;Old and New Worlds is mainly caused by the warm currents, such as the Gulf Stream, flowing from the tropics to the coast of Europe, and the icy waters from the pole sweeping round the American coast, he proceeds to pull to pieces not a few of the old traditions whici have been reli giously believed by our forefathers, but which this sceptical age of science and progress will not enter. tain ; among others, the great Norwegian whir pool is divested of its glory and danger : THE MAELSTROM, In narrow straits or in the intricate channels which wind through clusters of islands, different tidal waves meeting from opposite directions give rise to more or less dangerous whirlpools. One of the most famous of these vortices, though inconsiderable in itself, is the renowned Charybdis, which gave so much trouble to Ulysses on his passing through the strait which separates Sicily from Italy, but is at present an object of fear scarcely even to the poor fisher man's boat. 2 ...... 3 2 2 3 --- (From the Money Market R.riew.) There are few subjects in which the mercantile rciogmhmtsuannitdyliaarbeilimtioerse d eeply ofshare i h n o t l e d r e e r s s ted in th tah n e j in oi t n h t e_ Stock Banks. It is instructive to trace the devious course of legislation upon the matter ; we propose, therefore, to give a brief outline of it. The distress and misery brought upon the coon_ try by the failure of private banks during the years 1825 and 1826 induced the Government to interfere to prevent their recurrence. The remedy proposed was the repeal of the Act of 1708, whi ch prevented the formation of banks with more than six partners. The Government, thereupon, entered into a correspondence with the Bank of England relative to the formation of Joint-Stock Banks. Limiting the liabilities of shareholders by charters of incorporation, was one of the conditions proposed. The Bank of England, jealous of their privileges, refused to support the latter measure, but consented to the former. Accordingly the Act of 7 George IV., cap. 46, sanctioning the formation of banks with more than six partners was passed, but it merely made the establishment of joint-stock banks per missive. The very loose manner in which the Act was framed, and the entire absence of all safe guards in respect of the interest of the shareholders as between each other, very soon became apparent. One glaring defect was, that if a customer of such banks overdrew his account, he being ashare holder, no action for the recovery of the amount overdrawn could be maintained ; so also if an offi cer of the bank, being a shareholder, appropriated any of the monies of the bank improperly to his own use, he could not be presecuted. These pal pable anomalies rendered it necessary for the Le gislature to pass several subsequent Acts all more or less providing for the omissions, and explaining away the doubts which arose in the construction of the Act; but the clause rendering every, share holder liable in his individual capacity for all the debts and liabilities of the bank was on every oc casion repeated, it being enacted that such lia bility should continue for three years after he ceased to be a shareholder. Several attempts were from time to tine made to introduce the doctrine of limiting the liability of shareholders in Joint-stock Banks, but this inva riably failed. It was very reasonably argued that as the Government had, in respect to the Australian Bank, sanctioned the limitation of the liability of shareholders, although their banking transactions were carried on many thousand miles off, whilst the executive was in London, it was very unrea sonable that banks established on the spot, under a kind of Government supervision, should be deprived of a similar benefit, if benefit it is. It was urged that what was good for Australia must assuredly be good for here. Whilst the pertinence of such reasoning was scarcely contested, the conclusions were denied, and the Government of the day re fused to sanction the introduction of such a measure. The temporising policy of Parliament respecting banking gave rise to Act 7 and 8 Vic., cap. 113. This statute was passed underthe auspices of the late Sir R. Peel, who introduced two other measures of a like tendency. Any one might have supposed that a measure so imposingly brought before Par liament would have been perfection itself, seeing that the master-mind by whom it was inaugurated was regarded as almost infallible on the subject of currency and banking. This Act for the first time introduced several stringent regulations in respect to the establishment of future banks. All such were to be incorporated under letters patent from the Crown, and not otherwise. The minimum amount of the capital was fixed, as was also the amount of the shares into which the capital was divided. All the shares were to be placed, and one-half of every share of £lOO paid up; but it very soon appeared that all the provisions intended to protect the pub lic would end in affording no protection at all, they would be nugatory, if not absolutely mischievous. It soon came to be supposed that a charter of in corporation conferred special powers on the cor porate body, and that the difference between a shareholder's liability in an incorporated and in an unincorporated company was greatly in favour of the former. This proved a fallacy, and in no in stance so glaringly or so disastrously as in the failure of the Royal British Bank. We live in times very different from those when commercial corporations and charters could answer any good purpose. In our days industry and en terprise want no special protection. They merely want freedom, and, when left to themselves, will protect themselves. This principle has been solemnly recognised by Parliament, and every deviation from it produces mischief. As a proof of the crampin,c, character of the Act a b ove c i te d i mpos i ng on all future banks the obligation of being chartered com panies, it may be mentioned that only two banks were formed under its provisions from 1844 to 1854 ; one of these was formed by the conversion of a private into a Joint-Stock Bank,tand the other was the Royal British Bank. Recent legislation has, however, swept the above and other Acts from the Statute-book. This was done on the recommendation of a committee of the House of Commons. It was not done, however, without delays and contradictions. The 19 and 20 Vic., cap. 47, passed 14th July, 1856, repeals the Joint-Stock Companies Act of 1844, and rende rs the formation of joint-stock companies, liability, legal. The Act contains 116 clauses, enacts true to the old prejudice resp ecting w i t h os e limited s , and, that nothing in this Act conta i ned persons associated together for following c et d he s h p a o l l r p a o p s p o l s y o t o f year the '" B w an as k banking or insurance.

The following year, 1858, another Act was Pa' ssed expressly to enabl e b an k s to b. formed with • • li m ited liability. This tinkering of the laws relating. t o commercial enterpri se must naturally tend t o create distrust of the stability of the present law ; for what is to pr even t the Legislae next session passing another measure, stultifying the whole of their preceding Acts? Although we hear of one or two attempts to form now banks under the Limited Liability Act, yet up to this time no bank has absolutely come before the public to test the question as between limited and unlimited liability. It is quite true that the former is most to the advantage of the shareholders; but whether it will ba equally so to th e customers and depositors bank, Time, the great resolver of problems, must alone decide. Undoubtedly the old law de terred many influential and wealthy men from be coming directors and shareholders in banks. They will now be able to do so without that dread of the consequences which is the result o f un li m it e d liability. The fact of only one of the existing English joint-stock banks having registered itself as a limited bank, is adduced a s an argumen t against the practical value of the measure; but it must be borne in mind that there are s evera l embarrass i ng -..-. regulations embodied in the Joint-Stock Companies Acts of 185 G, which are almost sufficient to deter existing banks from enrolling themse lves under those acts. The general condition of the laws re lating to banking is neither so clear nor so permis sive of freedom as could be desired. After all the patching which they have undergone, more is re quired. In fact, the whole of the statutes relating to banking ought to be condensed into one plain act.
