CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have shown very little animation. Tea has continued inactive and prices remain unaltered. Sugars have been neglected Owing to the high rates demanded by holders. F — or coffee there has been a moderate enquiry, at slightly reduced rates. Rice, fruit, and spices, have ei exhibited little change of importance. For salt petre there has been a more active demand, and increased buoyancy has prevailed in the tallow market, owing to increased demand for home consumption, P.Y.C., on the spot, being quoted Os. 6d., and spring delivery 61s. per cwt. st There were no withdrawals of gold from the st Bank of England yesterday. st The following vessels are reported to have st left Melbourne for this country with specie, viz., at, the Roxburgh Castle with £166,800, and the Great St Britain with £474,240. st st The Spanish Financial Commissioners have notified that the auction of the Foreign Redeemable , 3 1: /Debt will take place at Madrid on the 29th inst., st t ( for which purpose the Government have assigned :t: 1,209,132 ree l s . sti The Committee of the Stock Exchange have : II appointed Tuesday, the 18th instant, as a special Pty settling day in the shares of the Algerian Railways : t t : Comp a ny ; but, pending the completion of certain sti formalities in Paris, the shares will not be quoted in the official lists. et Rather more activity prevailed in the Liver- Pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were el fully supported. The sales were about 10,000 8 6 t : bales. A brisk demand is reported in the general Money Market, and moderate inquiries arc made at the 1 ; Bank of England ; but there is not the slightest degree of pressure, and the mercantile community FA ; are enabled to obtain the accommodation they st i require without difficulty, at the current quotations. gt 4 The Jura which left to-day for New York only St' Conveyed £2,900 in specie: Kt( Letters from Paris mention that the subscriptions to the New Turkish Loan would be opened to-day. 8.1: The Funds closed heavily yesterday afternoon, st; Consols being 92/ 1, and the few transactions 19. recorded to-day have taken place at these quota tions. An unfavourable effect is still produced by the advices from America, and the impression that further remittances of gold will be made. Among : t t .: other causes for the prevailing heaviness may be st: Mentioned the uncertainty felt in reference to t h e progress of affairs in China, and the weakness of 2 the Paris Bourse.

A " GENTLEMAN" CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—John Williams, address refused, was charged before Mr. Beadon, with stealing a waterproof cape from the shop of Mrs. Elizabeth Hemmings, hosier, &c., 14, Tichborne-street. Mr. Wm. Gooby, manager of Mrs. Hemmings' business, stated that about eight the previous night, from what he was told, he went out and saw the prisoner with the cape, which he had seen safe a few minutes before on a peg in the doorway, in his possession. While struggling with the prisoner he dropped the cape and made off, but being pursued by him, was ultimately caught by Mires, 48 C, and taken into custody. Prisoner said he did not take the cape, but with another "gentleman" pursued the wicked thief who did take it. Mr. Beadon told him he was charged with stealing the cape—he would ask him whether he was guilty or not ? The prisoner no longer called himself a "gentleman," but hurriedly preferred having it settled at once. Mr. Beadon committed the prisoner for six months with hard labour. The prisoner's hurry in wishing the case settled was now explained, for a gentleman who happened by accident to be in court said he believed the prisoner was the same fellow who stole a piece of cloth from his house in New Bond street 18 months ago, and received four months' imprison ment for it.

It is not improbable that another investigaticn of this mysterious case may take place before the Trowbridge magistrates at an earlier period than the application to the Court of Queen's Bench for a writ ad melias inquirendam can be disposed of. Mr. Hughes, chief of the Bath police, with Mr. Inspector Norris, of that force, two officers of much sagacity, have for some weeks been diligently engaged iii prosecuting inquiries into the murder at Road-hill-house, and their labours have been so far successful that they have traced out the :mpor tant fact that a chest flannel, similar to the one found under the body of the child, was worn by one of the inmates of Mr. Kent's house. At present the flannel which.was discovered with the child is in the custody of the Wiltshire constabulary, and some hesitation has been manifested in handing it over to Messrs. Hughes and Norris for the purpose of endeavouring to procure its identification. This obstacle has at last been removed by the request of one of the Trowbridge magistrates, that the flannel may be placed in the hands of the Bath officers, and when this has been done and the identification satisfactorily established, other facts will be adduced, forming what is conceived to be a strong prima fads case against one of the inmates of Road-hill house. The recent examination as to the blood stained garment found at Mr. Kent's residence on the day the murder was discovered rather indicated some indisposition on the part of the Wiltshire force to co-operate with the other police ; but it is to be hoped that the mistake, which it is now admitted was made on that occasion, will not be repeated, and that the efforts of Messrs. Hughes and Norris may not be thwarted by any professional jealousy. THE TURKISH LOAN. (From the Monateur.) In consequence of a decision taken by the Turkish Government, in accordance with the desire expressed by MM. J. Mires and Co., it is agreed that the payment of interest on, and the redemption of the new loan until the entire payment of the loan is completed, shall be granted to the Societe Generale de Credit Industriel et Commercial. However, during the time that the contributions to the loan are being made, until the Ist January, 1862, the payment of interest and the redemption of the loan will also take place at the Caisse Generale des Chemins de Fer. At the suggestion of MM. Mires and Co. a mixed com mission has been named by the Turkish Government. This commission is constituted into a committee, who will supervise the operations connected with the new loan. The following are the names of the members of this com mission : RESIDENT AT CONSTANTINOPLE. The Marquis de Ficouc, Inspector of the French Finances, member of the Superior Council of the Finances of the Turkish Empire. M. David Glavany, banker. M. Ch. S. Hanson, banker. M. C.

Stocks on hand, however, show a deficiency of about 1,300 tons, compared with those of the same period last year. RICE.—A very limited demand has been experienced for East India, and to effect sales lower rates had to be sub mitted to by hinders. The business transacted, however, was very limited. SALTPETRE.--There has been a better inquiry for the finer description., and prices remain steady. TALLow.—The market has shown rather more activity, and prtces arc firmer, owing chiefly to the increased de mand for consumption. P.Y.C. on the spot is now quoted 60s 6d, and 61s for spring delivery.

Although the Indian Mutiny is now a matter of history, and many who won renown in that terrible struggle are little thought of now, there are still a few whose matchless achievements have caused their names to be inscribed on the scroll of fame, in letters which the lapse of years cannot oblite rate, and foremost among these stands that of HENRY HAVELOCK. His gallant advance to the re • lief of Lucknow struck the first blow to save British supremacy in the East. It was not so much the practical results, in a military point, gained by his success that contributed to this result, as the dread of defeat which it occasioned the enemy. When they saw a handful of Europeans disperse army after army, and still advance, they began to think of the days of Clive and Wellington, and their hearts failed them. Mr. Marshman has delayed the publication of these memoirs until the present time, in order to collect the various documents in reference to Havelock's military career, as well as information relating to his early life. For the success of the work, we could have wished that it had been presented, if possible, when all England rang with the name of Havelock ; besides, it is a great mis take in biographers to collect too much unimportant detail, which cannot interest the reader, nor yet add any information concerning the subject of the memoirs. This fault has been committed by the author to a certain extent; had many of the letters been omitted it were much better. Nevertheless, we will not complain, seeing he has furnished us with a very minute history of the gallant Major- General, who, from his youth upward, was a dis appointed man. He was naturally of a religious turn, and although he had always a predeliction for the army, at the desire of his mother, to whom he was much attached, he determined to follow the law; differences with his father however obliged him to relinquish this profession. His brother William, who held a commission in the 43d Regiment, hav ing been of service to Baron Charles Alden, to whom he was aide-de-camp at Waterloo, the Baron promised to use his influence to procure the ad vancement of his young friend. But William Havelock requested him rather to procure a com mission for his brother, with which lie at once com plied. ;Once a soldier, Havelock determined to understand his profession, and devoted most of his time to study it as a science, reading Vauban, Lloyd, Templehoff, and Jomini ; in fact, he read every military memoir within his reach, and it is to this perseverance, joined to natural ability, that he owed his success, though his services lacked reward. We do not intend to follow young Havelock through all the vicissitudes of his ardu ous career ; it would be but the repetition of a story told, alas! too often, of merit without patronage being left in the rear, while incapacity, aided by influence, walks over their heads. Tired of an inactive life, Havelock excharged into the 13th Light Infantry, ordered for Calcutta. Havelock's military ability and his general con duct soon won him the confidence of his superiors ; but his religious persuasions, which he carried almost to extremes, at least in the opinion of his brother officers, went against him ; in fact he over did it. Although his religious instructions to the troops did no harm to:those who would not listen to him, it caused many who came into his congregation to become sober and steady men. The following passage will show the feeling on both sides : "It was during this period that Colonel Sale, who com manded the 13th, made the remark which has been inad vertently attributed to Lord Wm. Bentinck. Havelock's religious meetings among the men had irritated some of his brother officers, and a strong feeling of opposition to him had grown up in the regiment. On one occasion, while Havelock was confined to his couch for several da) s by illness, it was reported that one of his ' saints' had been found drunk, and it furnished matter of triumph to his op ponents. On his recovery he requested a full investigation of the case in the presence of the colonel, when it was dis covered that there were two men of the same name in dif ferent companies in the corps, and that the man who had been intoxicated did not belong to Havelock's company, or assemble with his little congregation. It was then that Col. Sale exclaimed, in his blunt manner, I know nothing about Baptists, but I know that I wish the whole regiment were Baptists, for their names are never in the defaulters' toll, and they are never in the congee—or lock-up—house.' The influence of Havelock's Christian exertions, combined with his sound judgment and vigour of mind, was power fully felt, not only in his own regiment, but beyond its circle; and it has been well remarked by a Presbyterian clergyman, who enjoyed much domestic intercourse with him, that 'he was, in the highest and best sense of the word, a noble Christian missionary, recommending, both by precept and example, the Gospel of Christ to all around. In him the military character was so clear and so fully de veloped ; he was such a stern and rigid disciplinarian ; and his command over his soldiers was so absolute that worldly men easily tolerated the saint in their admiration of the soldier.' His character was well defined in one expressive sentence, when Lord llardinge said of him, he is every inch a soldier, and every inch a Christian." The adjutancy of the 13th having become vacant, Havelock applied for the appointment, which he ultimately obtained; but Lord William Bentincli, in presenting it to Mrs. Havelock, showed her a num ber of letters from various officers, stating that her husband " was a Methodist and a fanatic—whose character as au officer was lowered by familiar intercourse with the men—whose strong religious views would prevent him from acting with impar tiality as adjutant." Lord Bentinc smiled, and said, from inquiries he had made, he wished that her husband could convert the whole regiment, but he added, "The adjutant must not preach." Thus it was that his religious zeal, admitted to be bene ficial, stood greatly in the way of his promotion, Appointed as an aide-de-camp in the Burmese war, his evil genius caused the ship in which he was to be delayed by various causes, and to arrive at the scene of action only in time to witness the success of his comrades. In the memorable retreat of General Sale from Cabul he was of eminent service ; in fact, he was ono of the few that always hoped on, but, of course, the glory went to others. His letters relating to these terrible times arc most interesting, writing as he does dispassionately, and taking a calm military view of his subject. While General Sale and his scanty garrison were anxiously awaiting succour besieg ed in Jellalabad by Akbar Khan's troops, the one survivor of the main body of the garrison of Cabul arrived. Havelock, in a letter, thus describes it : " About two p.m. on the 13th of January, some officers wore assembled on the roof of the loftiest house in Jellala • bad. One of them espied a single horseman riding towards our walls. As he got nearer it was distinctly seen that he wore European clothes, and was mounted on a travel backed yaboo, which he was urging on with all the speed of which it yet remained master. A signal was made to him by some one on the walls, which he answered by wav ing a private soldier's forage cap over his head. The Cabul gate was then thrown open, and several officers rushing out, received, and recognised in the traveller, who dis mounted, the first, and it is to be feared the last, fugitive of the ill-fated force at Cabul in Dr. Brydon. Ho was covered with slight cuts and contusions, and dreadfully exhausted. Ins first few hasty sentences extinguished all hope in the hearts of the listeners regarding the fortune of the Cabul force. It was evident that it was annihilated. Countenances full of sorrow and dejection were immedi • ately seen in every corner of Jellalabad ; all labour was suspended—the working parties recalled—the assembly sounded—the gates were closed, and the walls and batteries manned, and the cavalry stood ready to mount. The first impression was that the enemy were rapidly following a crowd of fugitives in upon the walls, but three shots only were heard in the direction of Char Bagh ; and when the effervescence in some measure subsided, not an Affghan could be discovered in that quarter, th ou gh numerous telescopes were directed to it. ut the recital of Dr. Brydon filled all hearers with horror, grief, and indig nation." Shortly after the arrival of Dr. Brydon, Havelock wrote to Serampore the following letter, which is characteristic of the cool, calculating, courageous soldier : " A wide and sweeping destruction has overtaken our force which formerly garrisoned Cabul. Their retreat was not a military operation in any way. Had they retired as a column, ever so late, they might indeed have lost their cannon and one-half their force ; but they could have ar rived under these walls with their colours, some show of discipline, and the other half of the force of every arm. But they credulously confided in Affghan faith, moved in the power and at the dictation of Akbar Khan, took uP the positions which ho pointed out, forbore to fire on the parer).- sans whom he had arrayed to destroy them ; and, as much a s to the last the dupes of intrigue and treachery as the vi riiii of the sword, cold, hunger, and fatigue, have beenaulhfeads in the eastern Ghilzye mountains. One fugitive ]one reached us alive. but I trust " This has rendered our task a d;fficu, „ one, u We can no we look its asperities in the face.like soldai d r e e " getting rid of longer trust our Affghan Irregulars , . aento defend an them.

If it cannot then relieve us, we sink, but we shall, I trust, die like soldiers." The author's description of this ill-fated retreat through all its details are most graphically nar rated, he enters into the probable causes of the outbreak, shows how it might iu all possibility have been averted ; he cites also high authorities to prove that the first war in Affghanistan should never have been undertaken; and, finally, he expatiates on the vacillating policy of the Governor- General, and his cowardly conduct at last in throw ing the responsibility of advancing upon Cabal:on General Nott, by giving him leave to retgaii:d_bwoy e n ho w. iue of Cabul. Havelock served with distinction with General Nott in the retreat via Cabul ; return he wrote a history of the campai . however, met with no success; in fact , " never succeed as an author, not from ability, but from one cause or another 4alh:, none wa cl I 1 o i : three productions were fortunate .

Such is a brief sketch of the leading features of these me moirs. We have made nolmention of Havelock's latter career. That is well known to all ; but to those who desire to peruse carefully the life of tne undaunted General, together with the history of many memorable events which have taken place in India, such as the Burmese campaigns, the wars in Affghanistan and Persia, all of which are de scribed with truth and ability, this work will prove highly attractive. THE BRITISH LEGION. (FROM A MEMBER OF THE LEGION.) SALERNO, Nov. 29. The departure of the English Legion from Caserta has been expedited by an occurrence of a somewhat unexpected nature, some of the Italian regiments stationed there havingjoined in an attack upon the members of the brigade, which began to assume a very serious aspect, so much so that it was necessary to separate the belligerents and transport the Legion to some distance from Caserta. The affair commenced on the evening of Tuesday, the 27th instant, and, so far as I c an l earn , wou ld a ppear to have originated in some dispute which occurred at a café, between the English and a party of the Italian volunteers. The precise man ner in which the quarrel commenced is unknown, but it resulted in an attack being made upon the English, who were only some half-dozen or so in number, and were armed merely with their bayonets. They were driven out of the café into the street, but managed for some time to defend them selves successfully, until the number of their assailants had very considerably increased. At this period I happened to be returning to the bar racks through the square where the affray com menced, and can record its result from personal observation. An immense crowd of Italian volunteers was assembled in the centre of the square, and in the midst were the English. Both parties appeared to be scuffling together, the mob surging to and fro amidst a scene of deafening shouts and cries. The English were borne into the An barracks, but contrived to fight their way out. A body of their opponents, amounting at least to 50 or 60, then rushed from their barracks, armed with drawn swords, heavy sticks, &c., and made an indiscrimi nate attack upon the English, who were compelled to retreat somewhat precipitately. Ono man who was standing a few paces from me, and who had not taken any part whatever in the affray, was struck to the ground by a blow on the head from a heavy stick, and his assailants gallantly surrounded and knocked him about until he was insensible. The whole body then rushed down the street lead ing to the English barracks, brandishing their swords and crying "Down with the English." The latter made the best of their way to their bar racks, with a view of rousing their comrades and returning with assistance, as it was known that several of the English volunteers were about in dif ferent parts of the town, and if they met any of the Italians in the infuriated state they were in it was feared, as most of the former were unarmed, they would be cut down without mercy. The fear was, to some extent, realised. as several of them who were returning to barracks by twos and threes were a good deal knocked about and bruised, but escaped without serious injury. In the meantime the great body of the Italians rushed up to the English barracks, pushed past the sentries, who were unable singly to oppose any resistance, and ran up the steps leading to the officers' quarters, clamouring for the English commandant. The English volunteers who had escaped from the melee ran up to their own quarters, and the cry of " Fix bayonets" resounded from room to room. Most of them had retired to bed, but in less than five minutes upwards of 100 were up, dressed, and down in the courtyard, with bayonets fixed to repel any further attack, and to render any assistance to their comrades that might be required. Major Smelt, the officer in command, whose privacy had been rather suddenly invaded by the Italians, came down and procured the assistance of General Zacchi and ofseveral other commanding offigers, who endeavoured to pacify their men, who appeared to be satisfied with nothing less than the total and im mediate extirpation of the entire English brigade. The English officers also hurried down, and fortu nately met the body of their men, which was coming down at the" double," in time to prevent an actual collision, which in a few moments more would have undoubtedly occurred, the number of the Italians having increased to between 400 and 500. For a long time the English refused to retire, a report hav ing got afloat that several of their number had been killed, and they were gradually becoming as noisy and bellicose as their opponents. Major Smelt at length made his appearance, and comparative order having been obtained, he stated that he had seen Gen. Zacchi, who had promised that the whole matter should be investigated in the morning. There was no doubt that violence had been committed, but he (Major Smelt) gave them his word of honour that he would see that justice was done. He would ask them as a personal favour to go quietly to their beds, and they might rest satisfied that a thorough investigation would be made in the morning. The major's assurance had the effect of partially allaying the storm, and the English went to their rooms, the Italians having been at the same time got rid of by similar means. A strong patrol of the National Guard then went round the town to pick up all the English stragglers, who were ordered into barracks, the gates of which were also entrusted to their care. Several Englishmen were shortly afterwards brought in, some of them much hurt and bruised. Sergeant Clark of the 10th com pany, was killed, having received a bayonet thrust through the chest, and similar wounds in other parts of the body. Another volunteer named Lockhart, a private in the sth company, seriously wounded by b ayonet thrusts, and now was also lies at the hospital at Caserta in a very precarious condition. Immediate attention was paid to the men who were hurt, Major Sm elt having go,certain how many were through the rooms to_ as c , in injured, and also wit h the intention of calming the men, who were a state of great excitement, and could not be per suaded to go to their beds. The It a li an s did not escape entirely scot-free, as man o f them we re a good deal knocked about ; wthoapat t riv any es of them have re y. inthe Hungarian regiment, o ne of whom but cei v e l d have s erio unsoitn learnedjury. T reg was mixed up in the corn , triencement of the affray, sided with the English, an d, armed with heavy stones, delivered one or two good knock-down blows. In the morning the 1 . Ita ians assembled in crowds round the hissing , groaning, and throwing stones at every Englishman who presented himself ; being only kept from ten ering the barracks by the efforts of a detachment of the National Guard ; but more difficulty was experienced by our officers in keep ing their men in than the others out, they being as anxious as their opponents to resort to the arbitra ment of arms. THE MIDLAND AND LANCASHIRE AND YORK SHIRE RAILWAYS.—Rumours of an intention to amalga mate these companies have for some time been prevalent, and have exercised some influence on the value of their respective shares. We can state, on the most positive autho rity, that these rumours are without f oun dation, and hat no proposal of such a nature has been made, or even dis t cussed, by the directors. The rumour has probably arisen from the fact that negotiatians have been taki ng place for some alterations and improvement in the traffic arrangements between the two companies.— _Leeds Mercury, CONFESSION OF THE WYBERTON MURDERER.— Thomas Richardson, who was found guilty at the Lincoln assizes, on Saturday last, of wilfully murdering the police constable M‘Brian, has confessed the crime, and stated to the governor of the castle, Mr. J.
