LIONEY .4.. w) co'y NErf CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The inquiry for money at the Bank of England continues very quiet, and in the general market, Where the supplies are exceedingly abundant, rather easier rates are reported. No difficulty is experien ce d i n gett i ng c h o i ce bill s di scoun ted at 2- ; per cent., and although the difference, compared w ith the minimum quotations is only -} per ec at., it is sufficient to divert business 'ram the national establishment. The au• thorities, however, are still granting loans uhon stock, while the transfer books remain closed, anti by this means they may be enabled to keep up their stock of " other securities" at a moderate figure. On the Stock Exchange there has been an i ncreased demand, owing to the liquidation of the account in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares. A further sum of £52,000 was added to th 6 stock 0 . f bullion in the Bank of England yesterday, and it . 1 s probable that this movement will continue some time longer owing to the steady influx from Aus tralia. The demand for silver has revived, and th e shipments to the east may temporarily increase, but the export of gold to the Continent is likely to continue moderate. The price of bar silver is rather firmer, viz., ss. 2d. per oz. standard. Very little alteration was apparent in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Accounts from Liverpool report that in the cotton Market yesterday a very moderate business was tr ansacted, and no important alteration was apparent In prices. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. The railway share market closed quietly, fund quota tions continued very firm. The report issued by the directors of the Great Western Railway of Canada states that the net Profit realised during the last half-year only aniounted to £8,167 15s. id., which the directors r ecommend should be carried forward to the credit o f the next six months' account. This result has Probably caused much disappointment among the s hareholders, but it is attributable to exceptional c ircumstances, and better success may be anticipated In future. The business transacted at the Stock Exchange !dill denotes inactive speculation, and a limited 41 naud for investments. Notwithstanding this c ° ll tinued quietude, however, the quotations appear u lluyant. A few sales occasionally produce a de • c line ofd or L per cent., but it is merely tempo , ry, and renewed firmness speedily ensues. Con -631e have been dealt in to-day at 951 4 for money a nd account. The Government Broker continues his purchases on account of the Savings Banks , nut the aggregate amount of bona fide business is c /eeedingly limited.

The profits of the bank at Spa had on the 5 3' in question amounted, it was reported, to 1,113,571 f. The following incident is related by the Diessa `Z de Bayonne, as having recently taken place at Biarritz : ," The Emperor and Empress were crossing thuEspla -'4Qe when he saw not far from him a young sub-lieute nant, nOt more th an 20 years of age, who h a d l os t hi s l e ft l ip and was decorated with the cross of th e L eg i on o f onour, and who on seeing their Majesties saluted pro- Their Majesties returned his salute, and the k i J• aperor going up to the officer held out his hand to him, `4quired where h had been wounded, and on being told th at . e it was at Solferino, promised :to watch over his future ty „ -are e and left the young man under the most pleasing —citl '; ll . The officer is of a highly respectable family at D itz. N i;roE BURNOPFIELD MURDER.—A pitman named It 11h narrison has been brought before Mr. George H. .6;;ToY, one of the justices of the peace for the county of 11,,:wih, residing at Derwent Villa, near Winlaton, and 1 1 ; made a most extraordinary statement respecting the 1:) ,;'," , ,hr of Mr. Stirling, the young doctor, at Burnopfield, t4 141 e let of November, 1855. Harrison had been freely ft zug those with whom he came in contact that he distinctly the and conversed with one of the men who committed f re - o , 4o .trible crime, the circumstances of which are still 'l4,;;;_lh the recollection of the public, and for which, it will %,/ ko ' L ue remembered, two men, named Cain, alias "Whisky and Rayne, were tried and acquitted at-the summer 11.1% - p., held at Durham in 1856. if there be not some .N l l5 Harrison's statement it is difficult to define what pi ., 4 7 4 's induced him to state what he did before the - 111 4 : 1 1te on friday last. He says that on the day of re h - n `jhrder, whilst he was in the lane, he heard the h e 'd' of a gun, and shortly after, on looking through the he saw a man standing in the wood, who, on seeing • th - " , asked him (Harrison) what he was doing there, and This clenched his teeth at him, and said he would kill him, h• than Harrison knew, although he says he only saw , 1 , 18 , head and shoulders. He also says that he heard the ',doles of another man, at the top of the wood, call out, man here." The authorities have the description of the tin whom Harrison says he saw, and hopes are entertained that in a few- days he will be captured. It should,. how ,r, be stated that Harrison's master, whose name is Mr. th e Simpson, of Ryton, on looking over the pay bill for he time, fou n d th a t th oug h H a rrison was not at work on une 2d of November, 1855, he was there on the lst and 3 d a q that m on th, and as Ryton is several miles from the Leone of the murder, his statement is somewhat contradic ,gy with the circumstance of his being at work on that day. 4 ,e matter has caused a good deal of excitement at Win ta,"AL and other places, and the renewal of the statement of 4 "e circumstances connected with this fearful tragedy tends 1 ;, ) , involve it in some degree of mystery.. It may be that narrison's statement may prove as unfounded as those of '. u ..Pler persons, who, since the trial, have come forward as %'ainiants to having participated in one of the foulest,mur oars that stains the history of our country. TUE BUILDERS'STRIKE.—The builders' strike is tadually wearing itself out. The number of recipients at e weekly meeting of the Trades' Conference on Monday , or 21 less than in the previous week, while the Centralat Association of Masters report that 2,270 men are 1 1 4 ,_ Work under the "declaration." These two facts are pro -7bl3' explained by another, namely, that a considerable ,v?itnber of workmen have come up to London from the pro dll?cos• There can also be no doubt that necessity has also The some non-society men to accept the decimation. ~no men will ultimately be the principal sufferers, as is w_ithraonly the case in strikes. They asked, as it seems to 'et for too much. The masters appear to us to be asking too complete a surrender of their rights from the men. What is forced on the men as a declaration might be ac cepted by them as a shop rule. No such battles between be ployere and employ e d can otherwise than injurious to 07,T, There is b u t one way i n w hi c h t h e re l at i ve c l a i ms o f bCP _MI and labour can b e r i g ht eous l y a dj uste d , an d th a t i s equitable mon e t ar y sys t em, un d er wh i c h the producer 4 2u,tc b e e _ enabled to raise his price permanently to a remu nerative level, and the working man would obtain a fair r °Portion of the price charged for the work of his hands. ---merbyshire Courier.

Alderman Gabriel and Alderman Phillips were sworn into office, as sheriffs of London, and sheriff of Middlesex (as there can legally be but one sheriff for a county), with all the usual formalities, and breakfasted with the guests, including the principal residents of their wards. After breakfast the Lord Mayor proceeded to Guildhall in full state, attended by the Sheriffs, ;and met the :Court of Aldermen ; the Sheriffs' Marshal informed the court that the sheriffs elect had arrived, and the two junior aldermen present were forthwith desired to meet them at the door and conduct them to the court. The aldermen and officers then left the court, and went to the Great Hall; the sheriffs elect, with their chaplains and undersheriffs, and the liveries of their companies, following, The common crier then commanded silence, and called upon the sheriffs elect, by name, to come for ward and take upon themselves the office of sheriffs of London, and sheriff of the county of Middlesex, and the sheriffs elect accordingly presented themselves at the table, when the Town Clerk read to them the declaration and ad ministered the oaths. Mr. Alderman Hale and Mr. Alderman Conder then took off their livery gowns and their chains of office, with which they respectively invested their successors. Mr. Sheriff Gabriel and Mr. Phillips thou presented the Under Sheriffs, who, kneeling, took the usual oaths of office, and the flan was then dissolved. Finally the sheriffs, with their under sheriffs, and the late sheriffs, proceeded to one of the rooms in Guildhall, when the latter made over the prisoners in their charge to the sheriffs ; and the keepers of the several prisons delivered the keys of the same to the sheriffs, which were returned to them upon the execution of bonds for the due performance of their office. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.) CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT. (Before Sergeant Jones.) THE STRIKE.-ALLEGED DETENTION OF TOOLS.-HATHA WAY V. GLENN.-DAY V. GLENN.-GL AIZE V. GLENN. Plaintiffs are three carpenters, and defendant is a master builder, by whom they had been employed. The actions were brought to recover ss. Gd. for detaining plaintiffs' tools, by which it was alleged each of the plaintiffs had lost a job. It appeared that the plaintiffs had some objec tion to work under a foreman, and called upon defendant to discharge him. Upon this being refused a strike ensued, and Hathaway, whose case was first heard, alleged that when he went for his tools they were detained. His Honour—Where are they ? Mr. Jay (for defendant)—Oh, sir, they have been given up. They were not detained. My client only refused to allow the plaintiffs to go into the workshop until the other men returned from dinner, as a great quantity of tools wen, lying about. His Honour (to Hathaway)—You had better withdraw his case. Mr. Jay—l beg you will not allow him to do so. They will go on suing my client until he is ruined. His Honour—lf such doings wore permitted all business in the world would be at an end. It is not to be tolerated that a master is to be dictated to as to the choice of a fore man. Defendant will have a verdict with costs. In Day's case a similar order was made. Glaize with drew. His Honour—That is very wise, and I trust all these petty bickerings will soon be at an end. Mr. Glenn—l do not want any costs, your Honour. His Honour—lt will be recorded that you had costs, and you can enforce it or not as you like. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat hero to-day was moderate. Good and fine samples were disposed of at Monday's cur rency; but other kinds were dull in sale at barely late rates. The amount of business doing in foreign wheat was ra ther limited ; nevertheless, compared with Monday, no change took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. Fine malting barley was scarce, and in good request, at full prices. Other kinds were very dull. There was a moderate inquiry for most kinds of malt on former terms. Oats, the supply of which was good, were in fair request. In prices, however, no change took place. Both beans and peas were very dull, at barely previous quotations. In flour a fair business was doing on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

Withers, general dealer, London-passage, Golden-lane, St. Luke's. The engines promptly got to work, but the fire was not subdued until the lowtr part of the premises were destroyed. A HINT TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY.—The Great Eastern must be fairly dealt with. Let her not be trifled with. Let her water- tight bulkhead be made water-tight ; let her yards have sails bent upon them ; let her captain have a crew to handle her at his will ; let her wheel-lines, and all other parts of her equipment, be of the right material ; let her machinery be placed under the care of a sufficiently large and well-organised staff of engineers; let, in short, the ideas of her designers and builders be faithfully carried out in all respects, and then commercial success will be secured. It will be easy enough for the directors to persuade themselves that many of these things may be deferred, and the ship taken from this place to that, and from that to another, in her present imperfect condition. But public confidence is the indispensable basis of commercial success, and public confidence cannot possi bly be gained while the ship is in her present state. It would not, i perhaps, be requiring too much should we ask for the ship now to be delivered up to the captain, and for the directors and their friends to become his guests, and therefore subject to his wishes. The Great Eastern is no longer a mere commercial man's hobby, or a Londoner's exhibition ; she is a ship, and henceforth must be managed and commanded as a ship should be. Until this is done no good can come of her.—Once a Week. By the last accounts, the Grand Duke Constan tine, in his splendid ship, the General Admiral, had arrived at Cronstadt, where the attention of his imperial highness was at once directed to the hastening out of the ships of war intended for different foreign stations, that they might be enabled to leave the Baltic before the winter should set in to detain them. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS GUILDHALL. THE ABSCONDING BANKRUPT.—This morning David Hughes, late of Gresham-street, City, and Kingsgate Castle, Margate, was placed at the bar, charged with felo— niously absconding from his creditors, and riot surrender ing to his bankruptcy. From the lengthy reports of the case that have already appeared in The Sun, it will be recollected that the pri soner, in July, 1858, fled from his creditors to Australia, leaving behind him liabilities to the extent of about £150,000 or £200,000, After some additional Avidence had been given, the pri soner was again reins tided. BOW-STEZET. A knowing-looking your man, who gave. the name of Joseph Odell, was 'AIWA at the bar, charged with robbing Leopold Porson. The prosecutor, a German, having been, sworn on the Old Testament, said about three months ago he arrived in London. He happened, a day or two afterwards, to be standing at the top of Great Turnstile, in Holborn, when the prisoner came up to him and asked him if he, being a foreigner, would like to see the sights of London. He replied " Yes," and they proposed to go to the Crystal Pa lace. As they were walking along prisoner asked him if he would take a glass of ale, and they both entered a public house, and on entering the parlour two men were seated playing at cards. A third soon entered, and then he (prosecutor) was invited to play. He refused, when Odell commenced betting on the colour of the cards and lost. After some hesitation he sat down, and then Odell persuaded him to play for a short time. After five games had bpen played,• of which he won two and lost the last three, he said he had no more English money, and Odell said the " gentlemen" would not object to foreign, but ho told him he had nothing but Austrian notes, which he produced from his waistcoat pocket. Not feeling alto gether comfortable he returned his notes to his pocket, and in a short time Odell got up and hurriedly left the room. He felt for his notes, attd found them gone. Odell was the only person who sat next him. He never saw him again until last night, when he gave him into custody for robbing him. Mr. Lewis (who appeared for the prisoner)—What game did you play at ? Witness—l don't know. Mr. Lewis—Oh, yes, you do. Foreigners, generally speaking, are all well acquainted with cards. Witness—We played with three cards, I always, with two exceptions, got the wrong colour. Mr. Lewis—You only played five games, out of which you won two ; and then you went on doubling your stake until you had lost all you had previously won. I suppose if you had won £2O instead of losing anything you would not have said anything about the matter ? Witness— No, I don't think I should. Mr. Henry said he could not send the prisoner to gaol on mere suspicion. Others were in the room at the time the playing was going on, and it was impossible for the prose cutor to say where his money went. Discharged. Two men, named Jones and Fesler, were placed at the bar charged with picking pockets. Mrs. Mary Ann Eley said she, in company with her hus band, was returning home last night from the Olympic Theatre, and when they arrived at Hungerford-market she felt a hand in her pocket. She turned round and saw Jones running. She felt for her purse, and found it gone. Jones was pursued, and eventually stopped by a gentleman, whom he threatened " to lay on his back" if he interfered with him. The gentleman asked her if she had lost anything; she replied that she had lost her purse, and he then told her Jones had just thrown something away, which turned out to be the article of which she had been robbed. A con stable came up and Jones was given into custody. Mr. Nash Roger said he was in Hungerford Market last night, when he saw the prisoners and the prosecutrix and her husband coming towards him. In a short time after he saw Jones run away. He heard a cry of " Stop thief." The other, prisoner, Feeler, ran to the opposite corner of the market, and then, having stopped short, turned round, and began to walk slowly towards him. He (witness) told him he suspected he was a companion of the man who had just picked the lady's pocket. He denied that he knew Jones. Police-constable r 155 produced the purse the prisoner Jones threw away, which Mrs. Eley at once identified as her property. Jones, upon being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge, said—The woman pulled the purse out of her pocket as she was taking out her handkerchief. She can't be certain I did it, 'cos she was intoxicated. Mr Henry—What ? Jones—lntoxicated. How is she to be certain about me. First, she said at the station-house, she lost 125., then she comes down to 65., and now she says ss. I don't believe she knows anything about it, or that she was ever robbed at all. I didn't do it, that I know. The Inspector said the assertion of the prisoner that the prosecutrix was drunk was totally false. Mr. Henry (to Jones)—You can make your defence to a kn'Y. Jones—l don't want to-have anything to do with a Jury. Mr. Henry—Then you must plead guilty. Jones—Very well, I'll have the thing settled here. Mr. Henry (to Fesler)—What have you to say ? Fesler—lt's all a mistake—l'm respectable. The witness Rogers collared me as I was on my wayhome, and charged me with robbery. Mr. Honry—Yes, after he had seen you peeping round the corner, looking after your companion. As you say you are respectable, I shall remand the case, in order that the police may make some inquiries about you. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SYSTEMATIC SHOPLIFTING.—Ann Nash, Kate Nash, and Julia Gray, the two former about 24, and the latter about 34, all well dressed, were charged with shoplifting in New Bond-street. Mr. Felix Joseph, carrying on business with his father, Mr. Abraham Joseph, importer of articles of vertu, in New Bond-street, said that on the previous afternoon he was called from the upper part of the premises to the gal lery on the ground floor by Mr. Joseph, where he saw the three prisoners examining the articles and pricing them, and, after remaining some time, they left, but without pur chasing anything. They had scarcely got off the door• step when Mr. Joseph spoke to him, and he missed a china cup and saucer from a table. He then followed them into Woodstock-street, and from thence into Oxford-street and back to Bond-street, where they looked into a window. He then spoke to a constable and charged them with the robbery, when the prisoner Ann Nash immediately threw the cup and saucer into the road under a cart, and it was smashed to pieces—the pieces produced were the same, and the cup and saucer were worth £4. Burgess, 142 C, said he was called by the last witness, and saw the prisoner, Ann Nash, throw the cap and saucer into the road under a cart. On searching the prisoners at the station a large amount of property was found on them —consisting of a lady's work-box, fitted up with the best material, children's drawing slates, and a variety of articles of a miscellaneous nature. They resisted very much in being searched—Gray fighting, biting, and struggling. Mary Kenton, the female searcher at the station, proved finding, other property on the prisoners. A set of false teeth were found on the prisoner Gray, and as a card of Mr. Canton, the dentist, was found on her it was supposed they were stolen from that gentleman. The prisoner Gray, it was stated, tried to swallow a solictor's bill, which showed that she had been engaged in some former cAse. The witnesses were bold over, and the prisoners re. mended that inquiries may be made. THAMES, DARING STREET ROBBERY.—James Redding, a well known thief, who has been repeatedly in custody, and is notorious for his brutality and activity, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with assaultiug and robbing a foreign seaman named Jacob Vorbick. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that last night, about half-past seven o'clock, he was coming out of a baker's shop in the West India-road, when he was seized by the prisoner and three other men. One of them grasped his throat and nearly strangled him. The prisoner put his hand in the prosecutor's trousers' pocket and dragged it away, 'taking with the pocket a purse containing sixpence only, and another made a tug at his watch, which the thieves would have taken had not a police constable made his appearance and frustrated the intentions of the gang. George Pullin, a police constable, No. 161 K, said—l was watching the prisoner yesterday evening. I know them to be most notorious thieves. I was looking after them for a quarter of an hour. I saw them attack the sailor. It was the prisoner who grasped the sailor by the neck while three others held his arms. I caught the pri soner's hand in the sailor's pocket and secured him. The other three men jumped upon me and tried to rescue him, and I had a desperate struggle with the prisoner before I succeeded in taking him into custody. Mr. Selfe—ls the prisoner known ? Pullin—Yes, sir; he is well known. He has been con victed several times, and there are constables here to iden tify him. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Selfe—You are one of the regular thieves of the dis trict, and belong to a most lawless and desperate gang. I sentence you to six months' imprisonment and hard labour ; and if the prosecutor was not a foreign sailor about to go to sea, I would commit you for trial. If you are ever brought before me again, I will certainly send you before a jury for trial ; and if you are convicted, you will be sentenced to a long term of penal servitude. THE CONVICT SMETHURST.—The case of Dr. Smethurst remains yet undecided. Dr. Todd's letter, dated from Switzerland, and written in ignorance of the fate of the prisoner, expressing his decided conviction that Isabella Bankes died from poison, is as nearly conclusive as any thing can be of the guilt, to say nothing of the diabolical and coldblooded pertinacity and cruelty of Smethurst. There must be an end put to this system of trying great criminals over again in newspapers, after the . establishment of their guilt in courts of justice.—Derbyslisre Courier. DEA 221 OF CA P TA IN VANS TTA I? I; (From the North China Herald, July 23.) It is our painful office to record the, death of Cap tain Nicholas Vansittart, R.N., C. 8,, late in com mand of hor Majesty's ship Magicienne.. He died on board, on, the 17th of July, whilst lying off Kintang or Lookong, near Ningpo, from the effects of the wound by which he lost his leg in the en gagement before the Taku forts, in the entrance to the Ptiho, ou the 25th ult., aggravated by fever and ague arising from exposure in the swamp on that occasion. The Magicienne came into harbour on Monday, the 18th, and the funeral took place in the evening, of that day. The Ministers of Eng land and France, the foreign consuls, and a large number of the foreign residents at; Shanghai at tended. There were also nearly 500 men from the ships of war in harbour. The solemn procession moved from the landing-place to Trinity Church, where the service was read by the Chaplain of the Magicienne, .assisted by the Rev. J. Hobson. It then proceeded to the cemetery, where the remains of that noble and estimable man were deposited in their final resting place. ' We have been able to collect the following short account of Captain Vansittart's career in the service :—He entered the navy in 1832 ; joined the Cornwallis in 1841, under Admiral Sir William Parker; served in the operations against Tsekee, Chapoo, and Woosung, for which he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in December, 1842. As flag-lieutenant he accompanied Sir Thos. Cochrane's expedition in the Bruni river, and shortly after was engaged as aide-de-camp to Capt. Rodney Mandy in the arduous pursuit of the Sultan of Bruni. For his conduct on that occasion and other services he was promoted to the rank of com mander in January, 1847. Soon after he com missioned the Frolic, 16, and -vas on the Mediter ranean station till 1849, when she was paid off. His commission as captain was dated April, 1854. Ih February, 1855, he commissioned the Magicienne, and was most actively employed in the Baltic, where he distinguished himself on many occasions‘ in the destruction of forts and otherwise ; and in August had command of a division of gun and mortar boats at the bombardment of Sweaborg. For this •service he was decorated with the Order of the Companion of the Bath. After the war he proceeded in the Magicienne, first to the Black Sea, then to the Pacific, and afterwards to China. He did good service in command of a squadron acting against pirates in the vicinity of Hong- Kong, in September and October last, destroying 150 junks and fast-boats, and killing and capturing 458 pirates ; and off Amoy, in October, he destroyed 60 pirate junks and row-boats. The Magicienne was then appointed to the special service of the British Minister :in China, and left Shanghai oil the 15th ult., with the Hon. F. Bruce and suite for the entrance to the Peiho, on their way to Pekin, to exchange the ratified treaty. DENBIGHSHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. At a recent meeting of the Denbighshire and Flintshiro Agricultural Society, held in Denbigh, Mr. Townsend Main waring in the chair, as Presi dent of the year, after the usual loyal. toasts had been disposed of, the Chairman gave, " The Army and Navy," cotpling with it the name of Colonel Morgan. (Cheers.) Colonel MORGAN said he could not sufficiently express his gratitude to his friend Mr. Mainwaring for the too flattering manner in which he had con nected his name with the army, nor to the gentle men present for the enthusiastic reception they had accorded to the toast. With respect to the army in general, he need not point out to them the enormous sacrifices and the sufferings that our army had undergone, not to say the great vic tories- they had obtained wherever they had met their foes. (Great applause.) They would permit him to make one or two remarks on the army ; he did not say it as an old soldier, but he said it as a thinking man, that England was not sufficiently grateful to her army. (Hear.) And he would tell them why—because England looked very much to her pocket; she was afraid of an increase in her income-tax. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, taking his cue from that feeling, would not provide the supplies necessary to keep in a state of efficiency those who protected their country. (Great cheer ing.) But although there were certain parties who objected, the great bulk of liberal Englishmen would never spare their money to maintain that army which our Government was so niggardly in supporting. (Applause.) What would become of our manufactures— of our trade—of our agricultural interests, but for the army ? Going back to the Crimean war, if we had not taken a part in it, and gained victo ries so as to check the ambition of Russia, no doubt the Muscovite hordes would have invaded our Indian territory ; and, if successful, that would have been a nice job. (Laughter and cheers.) Look also to the mutiny in India. But for the bravery of our army India would now have been i n the possession of the rebellious Sepoys, and what then would have become of our commerce and trade in that quarter ? (Laughter.) After urging strongly the necessity of keeping our army in a state of thorough efficiency, the gallant colonel, in the absence of a representative of the navy, volun teered an acknowledgment of the toast on behalf of the sister service. At one time of his life he was a sort of amphibious animal, spending half his time on board ship, and the other half on land. (Laugh ter.) The navy of England filled a bright,page in history and Heaven grant that our navy might soon retrieve her honour and everything recently lost in China,—that she could do it no Englishman could doubt for a moment. (Great applause.) STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS, Sept. 27.—There was a good attendance of buyers in the. cloth-halls this morning, who operated freely in woollen and mixed fabrics suit able for the approaching season. The tone of the market was firm, and the condition and prospects of the woollen trade are altogether satisfactory. Prices, too, are firm, those of wool continuing to creep upward. The manufacturers have seldom been more employed on orders than they are at the pre sent time ; hence the public markets are compara tively thinly supplied with new goods. MANCHESTER, 27th.—The market is flat, and yarns suited to Calcutta are down fully id. per lb. For this market, in fact, there is nothing doing, and desponding people say it will be six months before we can expect a resumption of business ; but such opinions often undergo a considerable change with • the next telegram, and it is sufficient to say that business is very much checked for the present. For Bombay there is not much business, but the engagements of spinners keep prices steady. There is some business for Germany, and also for the home trade, sufficient to keep prices firm ; but buyers for these markets are not active. Fine and doubled yarns are mostly in demand, and firm in price. The cloth•market is very quiet, and buyers for Calcutta are offering 3d. per piece lower. The advices from China are considered quite as good as expected, and the letters from Bombay are encouraging; but there has not been much business for these markets to-day. Cloths suited for other markets, including printers, are firm. MaNfacturers mostly hold heavy con tracts which will not be finished for some time forward, and the general steadiness of prices is owing to this circumstance. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" The improved demand for India and China goods reported on Tuesday last, and which continued throughout the week has been checked by the unfavourable accounts per telegraph from Calcutta, and yesterday and to-day there has been little or no business done in them, the low offers made being apparently more to test the mar ket than with a view to business. For other mar kets and for the home trade the demand continues healthy, and there is steady business doing without change in prices." VENERABLE PEERS.—In consequence of the de mise of Viscount St. Vincent, Lord Slaair, one of the Scotch Representative Peers, becomes father of the House of Lords, having been born in 1768. The next peers in seniority are Lords Lyndhurst, and Guilford, both having been born in 1772. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO NORTH WALES.—Pen rhyn Castle, in Caernarvonshire, the seat of the Hon. Col. Pennant (not of Sir W. W. Wynn, as already stated), is one of the most stately baronial mansions of the kingdom. It is erected on the site of an ancient palace, occupied by Rhodri Molwyirg, a distinguished Welsh prince, and is constructed in the richest Norman style. The castle is situated on ele vated land; overlooking the Menai Straits, about two miles from Bangor, the country surrounding it comprisingnuichof the wild grandeur and picturesque beauty of the Snow donian district. The interior of Penrhyn Castle is gor geously furnished, and among its eurioaitios is the only hirlas, or ancient drinking-horn to be found in North Wales. It eriginally belonged to Piers Grufydd, the owner of the Penrhyn estate in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. DEATH OF GENERAL E V ELEGH, R.A.—The death of General H. Evelegh, who bore the oldest com mission extant in tho Royal Artillery, took place at his residence at Standen, near Newport, Isle of Wight, on Saturday, the 24th inst., in the 87th year of his age. The deceased officer's commissions bore date as follows :—Second-lieutenant, April 24, 1793; fi rs t.. lieutenant, January 1, 1794 ; cantain, November 3, 1797; brevet-major, July 25, 1810; major, May, 8, 1811 ; lieutenant-colonel, Dec. 20, 1814 ; colonel, July 29, 1825 ' • colonel-commandant; Feb. 6, 1845; major general, Jan. 10, 1837 ; lieutenant-general, Nov. 9, 1846 ; and general, June 20, 1854. General Evelegh served in the Corunna campaign, and received the war medaland one clasp for Sabagen and Benevente. Several of the French journals announce .the arrival of Mr. Disraeli at Bayonne, and evidently are under the impression that it is the late Chancellor of the Exche quer who is thus travelling in France. The gentleman in question (Galignani says) is the eminent statesman's brother. XUBRACIIEE. (From the Friend . of India, August 11.) As the resources of the country are devloped,. and tradein - Crease, the more purely European cities - of India grow with amazing rapidity. The ten dency of a conservative people like, the Hindoos, or a non-commercial race like the Mussulmans, is to raise great cities in the interior, and feed them with the overgrown wealth wrung from the pro vinces.- Genuine taste, barbaric pride, and sensual gratification, caused them to ris e and to extend with ever-increasing splendour, all the more re markable from the misery around it. Invasion and war, which blackened the, fairest districts, little. affected the cities. They sprang up from their ashes only to be more splendid and more wealthy than before. When they depended at all on com merce, the tolls of, the rivers and the transit duties were sufficient to satisfy them. 'Rut a trading, company and a nation who resort to war only to extend and' secure the uses of peace, have acted on a different policy. They have drawn the wealth Of the centre to the extremities, and for the glories of old Delhi and Lucknow, of Lahore and Hyderabad, have sub stituted the utilitarian plainness of Calcutta and Bombay, of Kurrachee and Madras. Even the permanent centres of the power and depots of their wealth—London, Liverpool, and Glasgow—are lacking in the very 'rudiments of grandeur. The growth of European cities in India will de pend much on their internal goveriMent. Health, security, comfort, the steady increase of personal wealth, are all affected by that. Calcutta and Bom bay owe something to their municipal a u tho r iti es . How much, more might not havebeen accomplished if these authorities had been more energetic, more wealthy and more liable to be influenced by public opinion. A municipality is the only body which can counterbalance the evils arising icom the 'incessant fluctuation of the Europeans in India. The re quirements of great public bodie-, such as railway companies; will assist in making the improvements demanded by'prop,ress, and in' rendering them per- , manent_ Kurrachee is a good instance of munici pal develOpement. In. 1853 its municipality was_ first established, and in the year 1858-59 it raised about 61,000 rupees, of which about 52.000 was expended,leaving a balance of Rs. 27,862. Kur rachee is now beginning to have all the appliances, privileges, and comforts of a large European-town, while taxes and the mode in which they are raised do not seem to be oppressive. Half of the revenue is derived from town duties, and this source has yielded threefold during the past four years. There is a wheel tax, and fees are paid on the sale of liquor, on markets, and for r e g i s t r y o f d ee d s . The committee have recently received from England a supprly.of Cab and cart plates such as are Used in Londbn, Three new roads, one of which is called Havelock-road have been made during the year. A new town has been laid out near the railway station, and three regular streets of store-houses are being formed by the railway officials, and the representatives of Bombay Firms. The tanks have been walled in with masonry, the wells improved and increased in number, and pipes laid down from them along the main road, where there are to be seven cisterns with fountains, to supply the wants of the port and shipping. A bill is now passing through the legis lative council to enable the committee to raise ten lacs of rupees at nine per cent. to supply the whole town with good water from the Mulleer river, 14 miles distant.„ The interest is to be paid and the works kept in repair by a water rate of 2i per rent. on the value of houses and lands. From the muni cipal funds a grant of Rs. 100 a month is given to the Kurrachee schools. The municipal revenue of Calcutta is seven lacs of rupees, and that of Madras two and a half. It speaks well for Kurracheo with its comparatively small population of 25,000 that it raises nearly two thirds of a lac. STEAMERS AND BARGES FOR THE RIVER GANGES. From the Daily Chronicle and Northern Counties Adver tiser, Sept. 22.) . Yesterday there was a trial trip on the Tyne and at sea of one of a series of eight steamers, which, with a barge each, are being built for the East Indian Railway Company. The eight steamers and two of the barges are being built by Messrs. Chas. Mitchell and Co., Low Walker Iron Shipuildiug yard, the remaining six barges being built on the Mersey: The trial took place with the following gentlemen on board, viz. :—Mr. Noad, the secre tary to the East Indian Railway Company ; Mr. A. M. Rendal, the company's engineer; Mr. W. H. Budden, financial manager at Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Co.'s works in this town ; Mr. Crow, the working foreman at Messrs. Stephenson's ; Mr. Walter, the head draughtsman in the same firm ; M. Ringeinin, agent to a Russian mercantile company, for whom the Messrs. Mitchell are build ing a chain traction steamer, one of the new de scription of vessels intended to ply cn the Oker and two other tributaries of the Volga ; Mr. Crawford, agent to Messrs. Mitchell and Co. ; Mr. Davie, Messrs. Mitchell's head draughtsman ; Mr. Shotton, one of the foremen at Messrs. Stephenson's ; Mr. Forrest, the resident engineer of the East Indian Railway Company (this gentleman having succeeded Mr. Briscoe, who left to join the Great Eastern) ; and Mr. Stuart Rendal, brother of the company's en gineer. _ _ - Both steamers and barges are of a peculiar con struction. They are designed for the navigation of the rivers of our Indian empire, especially of the Ganges ; and, as in the dry season, the waters of these rivers are in most places not more than 21 or 2 feet deep, the vessels are being constructed on a principle which will combine the maximum amount of power in the steamer, and of freight in the barges, with the minimum amount of draught of water in each. They are, therefore, flat-bottomed, or very nearly, and the steamers furnished with donkey engines, by means of which they may be hauled off in the event of their grounding. They will run through India from Calcutta as far as Delhi or Allahabad ; and the special purpose for which they have been built is, in the first place, to assist in the formation of the East Indian railway, by carrying the material for that undertaking up the country from the coast. They will afterwards be em ployed in the goods-carrying traffic of the country. During the recent rebellion so many boats were de stroyed on the Indian rivers that freights rose to four times the ordinary rate, and though they have since fallen considerably they are still very high. The directors of the East Indian Railway Company have therefore considered it most expedient, in an economical point of view, to possess boats . of their own; and there is no doubt that after these boats have asssisted in the formation of the railway, they will, by their voyages on the Ganges, pay a hand some per centage on their cost. Two of the eight steamers to be built by Messrs. Mitchell have already been completed, and sent out to Calcutta. They have been--and the re mainder that are to follow will be—sent' to their destination in pieces, packed like ordinary mer chandise, and will be fitted together at Calcutta. The vessel tried yesterday is the third which has been completed ; and she was tested yesterday by the wish of the directors of the company. It appears that the contractors undertook to furnish vessels which would tow a barge each at the rate of ten miles an hour ; and in order that the speed and capabilities of the vessels might be ascertained the trial of yesterday was instituted ; because, as the steamers will be almost one of each other, the performances of one can be taken as certain indications of what can be done by the rest. The steamer just completed is the fifty-ninth which has been sent out from Messrs. Mitchell's yard. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION. Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners have given notice of eir in tention to receive tenders to-morrow (Thursday) for ships to proceed to Sydney, New South Wales, and to Melbourne, Passengers on such day s s th as b le re co ad k fo is r si t o h n e er r s ee m ep a t y io a n pp o o f int between the Ist and Bth of November. The ships Must be furnished with cots, or bed places, as the commissioners m a y di rec t, with Dible's ventilating apparatus, and with Dr. Nor mandy's fresh water distilling apparatus. TAE CHINESE—NAVAL AND MILITARY PREPA RATIONS.—We understand that, in addition to the ships of war already in the Chinese waters ' no fewer than 40 new vesse ls are to be forthwith sent out with the ; view of exact ing reparation for the late outrage. On Thursday forty charts of the Chinese seas and rivers were ordered by the Admiralty to be made ready at once. In order, too, that all the troops which can be spared from India should be made available for active service on Chinese territory, with all possible expedition, the Indian mail wa s del ayed a day on Monday, th a t th e requisite instructions should be given, after a definite course of action had been agreed on in Down ing - street.—Morning Advertiser. A St. Petersburg letter says :—" It is said that the Emperor yielded to the urgent solicitations of the Empress in hastily leaving Moscow, which is cruelly suffering from Asiatic cholera. To prevent the ex citement that his Majesty's sudden departure from the city might have caused among the population, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael stayed two days longer, and then joined his august brother at Trarskoe Selo. St. Petersburg was last week visited by a violent storm. which must have produced many disasters along the shores of the Gulf of Finland. For the last 30 years we have not been exposed to such a gale. The losses, it is supposed, will amount to millions of roubles." THE DIVORCE COURT.—In th e new act "to make further provision c oncern i ng the Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Clauses," there is a clause which will shortly come into operation. The court will sit before term, and then, in any petition presented by a wife praying that her marriage may be dissolved, by reason of her husband hav ing been guilty of adultery, coupled with cruelty, or adul tery coupled with desertion, the husband and wife respec tively shall be competent and compellable to give evidence of or relating to such cruelty or desertion.
