COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early walk yesterday, in the pleasure grounds of CUerne MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet. Sales 3,500 bales, all to the trade. Prices were without alteration, but there was a good choice. Shares were steady, with a fair business doing. The agitation in favour of a reduction of the duty upon teas has been fairly, and, as yet, it would appear, most successfully commenced. The Chambers of Com merce of Liverpool, of Manchester, and elsewhere, are up and stirring in the good cause. The trade in the city of London seems to be somewhat lukewarm on the sub ject. However there can be little doubt but that a most vigorous appeal will be made, in and out of Parliament, to obtain the great object in view. It appears that a great diversity of opinion exists as to the accuracy of the information given in a stop-press of a morning paper, that an American ship of war, had been fired into from the forts at Oporto, dismasted, and so much injured, that she was towed into a near port for repairs. It was stated in the the City late yesterday afternoon that an inquiry into further frauds upon the revenue was in progress. In a printed slip handed to us, the facts are thus given. We know they come from a re spectable and well-informed source:— "In the course of evidence adduced before the late Government Comm ission of Inquiry, held at Gwyder House, it transpired that certain wharfingers had, for the advancement of their peculiar business or otherwise, been long in the practice of delivering goods in their charge under bond, to the merchant, without the payment of duty, giving him credit until it might suit his conve nience to pass the necessary " Home Consumption Entry," and this term of accommodation has sometimes extended to years. The system of book-keeping pur sued by the Customs' officers does not admit of stock taking at certain periods, and therefore affords a facility to such irregularities. In the first view of this affair, it would appear that the injury done to the revenue would simply amount to the loss of interest upon the capital thus detained; but should a destruction of these bonded warehouses by fire take place (and within the last few years two instances have occurred in which the premises have been totally destroyed) the Crown would be exposed to a very large amount of fraud, without the possibility of detecting the guilty parties. For in this case the authorities would relinquish their claims upon all goods destroyed by such accident, and as it would be apparent on the face of their books, that all those articles which had illegally passed into consumption were among those consumed in the conflagration, the parties who were merely cheating the Government of interest upon the duties, would be necessitated to pocket the amount of the duties altogether." The information connected with Portugal especially has had an unfavourable influence upon the Public Funds to-day, combined with other circumstances. Consols for transfer have dropped from 94 to 94k, and for the Ac count from 941 to 94g. Exchequer-bills are higher a trifle, the premium being at Ils. at present. The Three per Cents. Reduced, and the Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. are likewise somewhat cheaper than yesterday. Bank Stock is firm at 206. Portuguese Three per Cents. have just been quoted at 38, being a slight improvem ent on yesterday's value. Spanish Stock is also rather more firm. The Five per Cents. are at 251, and the Three per Cents. at 371. Austrian Bonds have realised 108. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents, 594. The Four per Cents. 91, and Brazilian, 84. The Railway Share Market is not brisk as to demand. A unanimous wish having been recently expressed by several influential shareholders in the Richmond Com pany, to present Mr. William Chadwick with some testi monial as an expression of the deep sense they entertain of his services in conducting, as chairman, the affairs of that company. to so prosperous an issue, a committee has been appointed for the purposes of carrying the views and wishes of the shareholders into effect. The testimonial, we understand, is to consist of a magnia• cent service of plate. House. The unfavourable state of the weather during the forenoon prevented the Royal Family from taking their accustomed airings yesterday on the sea beach. There was no addition to the Royal dinner circle at Osborne House, on Thursday evening. Her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline of Hesse, attended by Baroness Scheel, Baron Meysenbuch, and Mr. Bedford, arrived at the Euston-square terminus of the London and North-Western Railway Company yes terday morning, from Cashiobury Park, Hurts, the resi dence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. The Earl of Denbigh received the Princess on her arrival in town, and attended her Royal Highness to the Model Prison at Pentonville, which the Princess in spected. At five o'clock in the afternoon her Royal Highness and suite left the Euston•squilre terminus for Watford, on her return to Cashiohury Park. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz returned to Kew on Thursday evening, from paying a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline of Hesse, at Cashiobury Park, Herts. A deputation, respecting the Health of Towns, headed by Lord Ashley, had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Lome-office. The Rev. W. Elliott had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. Bagshaw had an interview with the Right Hon ourable the Vice President of the Board of Trade, on Thursday, in Whitehall. Mr. John Wood, Chairma n of the Excise, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Thurs day, at his official residence, in Downing-street. Sir Benjamin Brodie had an interview yesterday, with Sir George Grey, at the Home-office. Colonel Mitchell had an interview, yesterday, with Earl Grey, at the Colonial office. _ _ SPORTING INTE LLIGENCE. NEWPORT PAGNEL STEEPLE CHASES. - YESTERDAY.

Gazetted 1806." We take the services of the following officers appointed to command from the same excellent source : " Commander V. A. Massingberd (1842), appointed to the Alecto, vice Austen promoted ; was Senior Lieu tenant of the Blenheim in China. " Commander E. C. T. D'Eyncourt (1841), to the Comus, vice Thompson, promoted ; was Lieutenant of the Calliope, and wounded in the operations against Canton, and was at the capture of that city. " Commander H. M. Ellicomb (1841), to the Rolla, vice Simpson ; was Lieutenant of the Ringdove on the coast of Spain, and employed at the sieges of Bilboa during the civil war in 1836 and 1837. " Lieutenant Rivers (1841), to the Nautilus, Tice M`Donnel, promoted ; was mate of the Calliope and senior Lieutenant of the Sulphur during the principal operations against the cities and coasts of China in 1841 and 1842, including the capture of the heights of Can ton, when he served on shore with the army and was wounded. Officially mentioned on several occasions." Lieutenant Thurburn (1841), first of the Harlequin, is appointed to command the Griffon, vice Wilmot, promoted. Lietenant Western (1841), is appointed to command the Jackal, vice Pasco, promoted. The Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain Hope, was at Buenos Ayres on the 11th of September, blockading. Her marines were landed and quartered in Victoria Barracks. It was expected there would be a break up of the squadron when Admiral Inglefield left for China, to take the chief command on that station, but the Fire brand expected to remain in the river Plate until a more settled state of affairs in that quarter. There is no truth whatever in the statement by a con ' temporary that every other port on the lower deck of the Vengeance is to be caulked. The Crocodile troop ship, Commander Lowe, was un docked to-day, and the Resistance docked in her room. WOOLWICH, Nov. 19.—The Centaur steam-frigate of 1,270 tons burthen, built at Portsmouth from a design of Sir William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, and fitted with engines of 540-horse power, by Boulton, Watt, and Co. was tried down the river t o da y to ascertain the working order of her engines. The Centaur left her moorings at Blackwall under the charge of Commander Smith of the William and Mary yacht shortly after 12 o'clock, and proceeded down the river under the direction of Master-Commander Allen of the Black Eagle, answer ing remarkably well to her helm, and affording evi dence that her engines were in excellent condition, and well adjusted, as there was not the slightest appearance of heating during the preliminary experimental trial. Amongst the officers present to witness the working of the engines and capabilities of the vessel, were Captain Sir George Otway, Bart., Captain Knox, Captain Jones, Captain Pleydell Bouverie (of the Royal Navy), Mr. I'ontter (of the Trinity Company), Mr. Lloyd (chief engineer of the Woolwich Dockyard), Mr. Samuda, Mr. Wigram, Mr. Mylne, Mr. Dangleish, and Mr. Brown (of the firm of Boulton, Watt, and Co.), with numerous other scientific gentlemen. The engines were under the charge of Mr. Taylor, first engineer in the Royal Navy, and on starting made 18 revolutions per minute, which was considered a fair average speed with wheels 28 feet in diameter and a stroke of six feet in the engines. As the vessel proceeded down the river she acquired a greater degree of speed, making from 19} to 20 revolu tions per minute, and gliding through the water with the greatest ease and steadiness. The trip being merely of a preliminary nature, Mr. Lloyd did not calculate her speed at the measured mile in Long-reach, but it was ascertained by a private time-piece that she performed that distance in 6 minutes 18 seconds, although not at full speed. The Centaur is 200 feet long by 37 feet broad, and strongly built. The engines are of the most substantial construction, and finished with great nicety, as was shown by the excellence of their working on their first trial. They are similar in principle, with improvements, to those of the Virago steamer, fitted by the same firm. Some idea may be formed of the strength of the various parts, when it is stated that the centre shaft alone weighed thirteen tons when it left the forge, being con structed of malleable iron, and beautifully finished. The cylinders are 85-i inches in diameter, and the working pressure to-day 61bs. to the square inch. The engine room is well ventilated, and access to every part of the engines obtained in the easiest manner. There are six boilers, which can be worked together or seperately, according to the quantity of steam required, and a very great improvement has been effected in lettering the stopcocks of the boilers, such as F. for front boiler, M. B. for middle boiler, to enable any stoker or other person to turn off or on the proper boiler without the chance of mistake. There is also a waste steam-engine for work ing the pumps, and every appliance to render the engines perfect. The vessel turned at Greenhithe, and, on arriving at Woolwich, was attached to moorings along side the coal depot. She has been in charge of Mr. William Grant, her carpenter, since she was brought round from Portsmouth to be fitted with her engines. The Avon steam-vessel, Captain Denham, arrived to day, and while her steam was up went up the river to tow the Growler steam-vessel to Woolwich. The Gorgon arrived at Woolwich shortly after twelve o'clock, and will be paid off here. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS. Nov. 18.—T. 1). Conconi, clerk's assistant, to the Per seus; W. H.

(From the Lancet.) A correspondent at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who has authenticated his communication with his name and address, has forwarded to us a communication, in which a statement of facts relative to his personal experience of confinement in a lunatic asylum, is prefaced by some very correct and judicious remarks on private establish. ments for insane persons, instigated by the painful ac counts relating to Ilaydock Lodge, which have appeared in print. He justly condemns such establishments as " markets trafficking in humanity in its worst condition, in most of which those prudent, judicious, and rational means which ought to be adopted for the recovery of the patients, are entirely and designedly neglected ;" nay, he " fears that other means, more deadly and inex plicable, are resorted to in some of them for the purpose of confirming the complaint, and continuing them under alienation?' He proceeds :—" From my own experi ence, I judge that those institutions are not calculated to restore the patient labouring under mental affliction. Every intelligent person is aware that diseases of the mind are as various, and operate as differently, as the diseases of the body. Consequently, different modes of treatment should be adopted in different cases ; but instead of this important and salutary caution being ex ercised, one uniform course is pursued towards all. I am, Sir," says, "in humble circumstances of life, and not able convey my sentiments with the clearness which better educated men mi g ht do ; but my object in iddressing you is good. I was myself confined in one cif these places. About seventeen years ago. I was I risited with an affliction of the mind, arising from nerv ous affection and extreme bodily weakness. After six months' confinement I was restored. About twelve months ago I had another attack of the same wife complaconint, and was only two da y s ill ; but after my had - sulted a surgeon, he without using any means for my recovery, at once gned a certificate tbr me to be sent to an asylum. But Nature has again rallied, and I am now in the.bosom of my family. To detail all that I could say . with reference to that asylum would be long and tedious for a communication of this kind, but I am ready and anxious to give any information on the subject that may be required. When I was taken into the asylum I was extremely ill, and, being a little talkative, I was handled very roughly. .No attention was paid to my bodily weakness. was was 'every now and then put into a dark cell, but before that .was effected the keepers had to try their strength, and appeared much gratified that they could master me ; and in that way I was knocked about for five weeks before being allowed to see any of my friends, who bad repeatedly applied to visit me, but were refused. Good reasons there were for the refusal ; for the face had been cut, and my eyes were swollen up and roughly blackened. I had undergone the most excruciating suffering. This was not the sort of treatment my case required. It was medical treatment that I wanted, but that 'was never thought of. If judicious means had been surgeon, there would have been no neces taken by my sity for consigning me to a place of this kind for• my recovery. The most effectual cure for my case occurred by accident: I was struck at very violently, and hit over the nose, when the profusion of blood that flowed gave me extraordinary relief. This clearly shows if I had been properly dealt with my complaint would that soon have been removed. " With reference to the conduct of the visiting magic srates it is not nay wish to speak;in the slightest degree Real del Monte Unregd --- 354 The directors o f all the theatres at Berlin have res olved to substi tute the explosive cotton ror gun powder, in thei r re p resentations, because tho cotton makes little or no sm oke, which is not only annt )3 , hug to the public, but has an injurious effect upon the , oicas of the singers and actors. We regret that our venerable and eixellent neighbour, Sir Anthony Lechmere.

Independently of this, she has com plained of general incapacity, arising from pains in the hands and arms, and a pressure on the brain. Since that time I have been obliged to accompany her from place to place, it being advised that she should be carried about. Cross-examined—Mrs. Haywood has been confined since the accident, and suffered very much. She was confined in July last. When I say that her mind is affected, I do not mean to state that she is incapacitated from attending to her household affairs—l mean that she is suffering from both mental and bodily infirmity. She cannot sit down now to write a letter. When she sits down to read or write, it occasions great pain in her head, and she cannot do either.—ls there any ten dency to mental imbecility?—She cannot concentrate her thoughts to write a letter. I do not know that I can give you a better answer than that. After reading a page or two of a book she is obliged to put the volume down. Mr. Dickenson Crompton sworn—l am ono of the surgeons of the Hospital at Birmingham. [Witness de scribed the injuries sustained by Mrs. Haywood.] She has since been girt yvery excited state.

Mr. Richard Jones sworn—l am edical practi tioner, residing at Leamington, of many ears' standing. I knew Mrs. Haywood before she was married; during her girlhood, in fact. She was a strong and healthy person. I saw her the day before she left Leamington —that would be on the Ist of June; she was then in a good state of health. I consider she is in a nervous excited state now. She yesterday complained to me that her memory was affected; so much so, that in writing a common letter she experienced the greatest difficulty. Her whole nervous system is much dis arranged. It is impossible to say that these symptoms will be permanent; they will wear off in time; some modifications have taken place, and, in all likelihood, still greater modifications may occur. I think this may be done by amusing her mind, under proper treatment, especially as she is unequal to the usual recreations of reading and writing. I believe something in her con stitution has been radically injured, and I think that it is very probable all the symptoms have come on since that period. Mr. MACAULAY, for the company, put in a mass of correspondence, with a view to show that the plaintiff had never made a specific demand upon the directors, or they would have been willing from the outset to make any fair and reasonable compensation. The basis of the defence was the following letter, ad dressed by Mr. Creed to the plaintiff:— " July 28, 1845. " Sir, —Having laid before the directors your letter to me, of the 9th inst., on the subject of the injuries sus tained by your family by the collision which occurred at the Coventry station on the 2d inst., I am directed to confirm officially all that I had stated to you in conver sation, as to the sincere regret of the directors for the sufferings of the passengers who were hurt, and their desire to do all fairly expected from them in their cha racter of trustees for the proprietors. " As respects the servant who had care of the points, there was much to induce the directors not to visit his offence too heavily. He had served the company from the year 1838, without having once been reported for a failure of his duty, and has always borne a uniformly good character. His conduct on the 2d, although very blameable, was rather the result of an error in judgment than one of negligence, since it was from the belief that he had time to do two things instead of one, which required his whole attention. Weighing all the circum stances of the case, they thought that, to a man in his station of life, a suspension of ten days, and a farther fine of a week's pay, being seventeen days in the whole, with a severe censure, was, though a comparatively lenient punishment, as much as the services and cha racter of the individual called upon them to inflict; and I am much mistaken in my opinion of your feelings, if you would, under similar circumstances, have done more than was necessary for the sake of example, and that you, like the directors, would have felt that it was im portant, for the sake of example, that weight should be attached to previous good conduct as that negligence should be uniformly punished.—l am, dear Sir, your obedient servant, " RICHARD CREED, Sec. " J. Haywood, Esq., 1, Spencer-street, Leamington." The jury retired, and afterwards came into court with their verdict for the plaintiff, 3001. In a second case, in which Mr. Haywood alone was plaintiff, to recover expenses to which he had necessarily been put by the illness of h is wife, such asmedicalfor the plaintiff, travelling, &c. , a verdict was taken plaintiff, by consent, for 70/.

The CHAIRMAN then went through the report, the sub stance of which was that when the call of 1/., per share was made in February last the directors hoped that the amount realised would be sufficient to satisfy all the claims on the company at that time unliquidated, and they were happy to say that those hopes were fully re alised on the present occasion.—(Hear, hear.)

Prices have, however, upon the whole, ad vanced, but no great amount of legitimate business has been transacted, speculative bargains constituting the greater por tion. The quotations, in some instances, indicate rather the necessities of the Bears (between whom and the Bulls a fierce battle has been. raging) than the actual and bond fide value of the stocks. Intending investors would do -well to bear this fact in mind, and, previous to purchasing, institute a comparison between the position and prospects of those un dertakings, the shares in which now bear a high premium, and the probable position two or three years hence of those undertakings, the shuies in which are at an inconsiderable premium, or at a discount.
