Since the Earl of CARLISLE delivered those charm ing lectures of his upon the Genius of PorE, and upon the Condition of the United States, to the intel ligent working classes of Yorkshire, several distinguished abilities have displayed a similar readi ness to impart instruction, in like manner, to the industrious members of the population. The noble example of the patrician has already, therefore, had its fruition, and we doubt not but that equal willing. nesa will be revealed to emulate the course pursued in this mutter by the distinguished individuals here re ferred to, by others among their contemporaries whose names are the glories of our current literature. We hail the circumstance as one no less honourable to the present age than it is very beautiful in its novelty, or than it is certainly calculated to prove advantageous in its influence upon after generations. We take it to be a visible token of the grand onward movement of civilization. We welcome it with the unaffected cordiality due to the evidence of the rapid dissipation of ancient prejudices. We consider it to be a remark able manifestation of the breaking down of the bar. niers which have hitherto,mmere or less, divided the Com various classes of the unity among Europeans, precisely as the recognition of the rights of the negro r ace by England, some few years Africans, demonstrated t h e co mmencement of good t o the or as the still later regard shown tow ar d s the h ere t o f ore despised Parses proclaimed th e d ownfall of the odious syi of castes among tenaAsiatics, b u t more espec i a lly among the children of Hinaastan. Th ere are stili, of course, thousands upon thousands of old bugbears to be got rid of hereafter; and this, more over, as much in the western as in the eastern hemi sphere. GoD knows, there are abuses enough remain ing, even now, to be vanquished. GOD knows, m uc h remains to be done still for the black man and for the red man, and not only for these, but for very m any portions of the great and dominant family of the pale faces. How much reason there is, in the middle of this hotsted nineteenth century, to call more loudly sn of old for the abolition of slavery, the world knows, by the evils which continue to this moment rife in the Southern States of the vast American Re public. Cnassxsots is dead, and so is WILBERFORCE : but there are yet, thank HEAVEN! noble hearts enough amongst us to plead for even those who are apparently the most forsaken. Eloquent voices are unheard, it is true, in Congress, calling aloud for the development of the grand labour of emancipation—voices like those which were wont to resound of yore within the walls of the British Parliament. But the novelists— those modern poets—are active where the orators are indolent. CHARLES DICKENS spoke nobly upon this subject to the inhabitants on both shores of the Atlantic, in those pages of his " American Notes," where he asserted, in burning words, the infamy of selling men like cattle—of spurning those who had the dignity of virtue like dogs, and of scourging those who were guiltless of a crime, as if they were the most detestable of male factors. Another voice has been raised to proclaim the same truth, but this time it is the voice of a woman. And the universal eagerness with which "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been received in the United Kingdom, as well as in the United States, manifests how truly HARRIET STOWE has understood one of the chief requirements of her time—that of the diffusion of the highest principles of humanity—that of the realization in actual fact of the loftiest day dreams of benevolence. Tears have rained down upon that book, throbbing in every sentence with the great heart of the woman-philanthropist—tears that have told that she has not cried out in vain for the amelioration of the wrongs of her fellow-creatures — tears of the young and of the old dropped down upon that simple record of suffering—the most ex quisite because the most spontaneous tributes of sad ness and of sympathy. Not, it is true, like those wrung out of the very soul of the poor negro, Uncne Toss, on first hearing that he was sold away from his wife and children (chap. v.), when " sobs heavy, hoarse, and loud shook the chair, and great tears fell through his fingers on the floor—just such tears, sir, as you dropped into the coffin where lay your first-born son—such tears, woman, as you shed when you heard the cries of your dying babe : for, sir, he was a man, and you are but another man ; and, woman, though dressed in silks and jewels, you are but a woman ; and in life's great straits and mighty griefs, ye feel but one sorrow !" No, not such as these ; but still tears, we repeat, of a subdued and elevating sympathy. While efforts are thus, not in effectually, being made in the New World to alleviate the miseries of the African, it should be remembered in the Old World that endeavours are equally desir able in behalf of many an unfortunate and degraded European. We, also, let us bear in recollection, have amongst us hundreds who are worthy in their present condition of no better title than that of being the Pariahs of society—creatures scarcely less abject and forlorn than the lepers of the olden age, who lived apart from their fellow-men, the outcasts of the people, wretched mortals, whose existence was shrunk from as contagious, and whose very touch was re garded as contamination. For the improvement of these there are noble natures that have struggled, and are still struggling—resolute in their toil of generosity, and sanguine that that toil will not ultimately be found altogether fruitless. And so—the Ragged Schools have been carefully► or ganized. And so—the Rookeries have (many of them) been purged of their most odious impurities. And so—the Schoolmaster is at last, indeed, and in very truth, Abroad. Education is thus recognized at length as the veritable panacea of numerous ills that had been deemed until now almost entirely incurable. Education—accompanied (be this sedu lously borne in remembrance), always accompanied by sanitary innovations. It is not alone, however, in the lowliest ranks of all in the population, that a change for the better is understood nowadays to be imperatively requisite. Ascending the scale of the social system, we discover improvements upon all sides eminently desirable. Happily, too, these im provements are now in course of realization. Of this fact, the Early Closing Movement is a project sig nificant enough to be adduced by way of corrobora tion. Added to which the extension of the scheme of Mechanics' Institutes, the growth of Public Museums, and the establishment of Free Libraries in the prin cipal towns and cities of the United Kingdom, all be tray most admirably the humane tendency and the rapid progress of what is popularly known as the March of Civilization. As an honourable, and re markable, and most appreciable incentive to which— we have now several of the most distinguished Men of Letters of the Age forsaking for a moment the seclusion where their intellects, as in a congenial at mo3phere, have thriven and yielded fruit i❑ abund ance, in order that they may by their voices, not less than by their pens, impart instruction to the masses of their fellow•countrymen—authors of world-wide celebrity who wisely regard the duties of the Lec turer as in no way derogating from the dignity of Literature. It was only very recently that a remarkable ora tion, as we may term it, upon the glory of " Know ledge," was delivered before the the members of the Literary Institution of Hertford, by Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTTON—assuredly one of the most illustri ous, as he is also one of the most indefatigable, writers of our generation. Actuated by a like motive, another of our celebrated literati has, we observe, an nounced his intention of aiding in a kindred manner the furtherance of the effort at general en lightenment. A Lecture is already advertised to be delivered upon the 28th of December at the Hull Literary and Philosophical Society, by the newly-appointed and but recently inaugurated Re corder of the borough—known so well and so widely by the power and pathos of his "Diary of a Late Physician," and perhaps still more by his masterly novel of " Ten Thousand a Year." The subject of the lecture is one, moreover, of an elevated and sug gestive character, namely, " The Intellectual Deve lopment of the Present Age"—a theme which natu rally extends through an almost bewildering variety of religious, literary, and philosophical considerations. With a statesman like the Earl of CARLISLE, and a man-of letters like Mr. WARREN, and another of emi nent' and comprehensive genius like Sir BULWER LYTTON, breathing instruction orally from the read ing-desks of the Literary Institutions of England, we may well deem not altogether extravagant that beau tiful hope which has been so long cherished amongst us, the hope that a social improvement, fraught with incalculable blessings, may result from the visible and audible spread of civilization. Henceforth, let not this hope be abandoned, even for an interval, as illu sory. COLUMBUS did not once forego as idle, even for a day or an hour, his vision of the unknown shores beyond the Atlantio : and was not the reward his arrival on that land, which he kissed when his foot first pressed the beach, and where he planted the standard of Spain in the name of his REDEEMER ? WATT never once faltered in maintaining as practic able the fabrication of the Fiery Dragon of Science: and has not his dream been more than realized in the miracles performed every instant around us by the product of his research and perseverance the steam-engine ? And shall we abandon as fu tile the aspiration of diffusing knowledge yet more widely than at present among the diffe rent classes of our population ? To do so now adays, would happily we believe, be as impos sible as it would assuredly be most flagrantly prepos terous. Much of the seed has already been sown broadcast. Every day the prioting press is scattering it wider and more abundantly. As we have shown, moreover, there are writers amongst us of uncommon sad admitted abilities, who are aiding the good work not merely by their pens, but by their voices in like manner. 'Therefore, perhaps, it is that the thought now recurs to us more painfully than ever, that we have still haeging darkly over the minds of the multi tude the influence of the accursed Taxes upon Know ledge. Fortunately, the present Cabinet appears to have its literary sympathies, or rather, should we say, an accurate appreciation of the value and importance of literature. It has proved this already by more than one incident worthy of the popular remem. brance. It has proved it by making ARCHIBALD i ALISON a Baronet—by making G. P. R. JAMES her MAJESTY'S Consul at Norfolk in the United States— by giving a diplomatic appointment to the son of FORD, the author of the Handbook on Spain—by no- , minating S AMUEL WARREN, the Recorder of He— by bestowi ng a pensio n upon C AROLINE S OUTHE Y, and by se vera l other acts of an equally significant de scription. Rememberl • ag this, we are disposed to cherish the belief, that the people of England may not look in vain for the abolition of the execrable Taxes upon Knowledge to the good sense, the enlighten ment, and, we may even add, the patriotism of the Earl of DENBY'S Administration. The letter of Lord DENMAN, to which we gave in sertion in our impression of yesterday, will be read with profound interest, not only by members of the distinguished body of which the Noble Lord was one of the brightest ornaments, but by persons of all classes in society. " What course is the bar to take" under the present circumstances ? The inquiry is one of almost vital importance to the profession. It cannot be denied that its position has been greatly altered by recent legislation. The business at Westminster had materially fallen off since the establishment of local tribunals. The County Courts offered many unques tionable advantages to suitors. They were enabled, through its intervention, to obtain cheap and speedy justice administered at their very thresholds. The vexatious delays and ruinous expenses that frequently induced parties to relinquish well-founded claims rather than undergo the annoyance and responsibility incidental to their recovery, were in a great degree removed. Many persons were thus enabled to enforce satisfaction of debts that would otherwise have been wholly lost. The honest debtor, too, reaped a benefit. His original liability was no longer quadrupled by the costs of its enforcement, and the presiding Judge was enabled, where indulgence was really required, to allow reasonable time, by directing the payment to be made by easy instalments. Bat while the new tribunals were so beneficial to the community in general, their operation was very injurious to the bar, more particularly to the junior practitioners. A large proportion of the business had been diverted into channels that were carefully closed against them. Any person, indeed, might have been heard, "by leave of the Court," except a barrister, but he was excluded, unless "instructed by an attor ney." The matter was no longer permitted to rest on professional etiquette, which might be altered if occasion required. It was made the subject of special enactment, and became a portion of the statute law of the land. This acted as a virtual prohibition to their employment ; for, first, cases were comparatively few where the client could bear the double expense of counsel and solicitor; and, secondly, in several districts, the attorneys,determined to monopolize the whole prac tice, entered into arrangements binding themselves not to retain a barrister under any circumstances, but rather, if the case were sufficiently important, to give briefs to members of their own branch of the profes sion. This unjustifiable combination naturally led to complaints on the part of the Bar, but they were com paratively helpless. Bound by the statutory provi sion, they could do nothing except endeavour to obtain the repeal of the obnoxious enactment. At first these attempts were unsuccessful. The jurisdiction of the County Courts was enlarged, and the local Judges were enabled to take cognizance of cases up to 50/, and to any amount by consent of the parties. The Bar was, however, still restricted, and the same regulation so adverse to their interests was continued in full force, and also made applicable to plaints for sums between 201. and 50/. In the mean time, other causes were in operation, reducing their sources of income. Many useful reforms were car ried, abolishing justly and properly matters that brought many guineas and half-guineas to junior barristers, and enabling many to struggle through the probation to which they were subjected. And the Common Law Procedure Act of the present Session, abolishing " special pleading," and, " rules to com pute," and rendering unnecessary the signature of a barrister to any pleading, has completed the extinction of the minor fees. So far as these minor fees were concerned, every person must concur with Lord Dzracsm in thinking that though the present loss of enrolment may bear hard upon individuals, no one—not even the barrister himself—could desire to revive the objectionable, the almost discreditable, items for which no service had been rendered, but which were simple " law taxes," created for the purpose of enabling the attorney, at the suitor's expense, to put a little money into the pocket of a barrister, his kinsman or his friend, and himself to take no small proportion of these profits. As Lord DRNmsli remarks—" He" (the attorney) " made a charge for drawing the brief of instruction to do nothing; and another for waiting on counsel with the aforesaid brief." But in the same session another enactment was passed, which, if judiciously and liberally carried into execution, may more than compensate the Bar for the loss of these " minor fees," while conferring a benefit on the County Court suitors. The provision which forbade the appearance of a barrister before the local tribunals, unless instructed by an attorney, was not only repealed, but be was specially authorized to ap pear without such instructions; while attorneys were forbidden to retain other attorneys as advocates. The policy of giving a fair proportion of County Court business to the Bar was thus distinctly recognized, and it remained to be seen how they would act under the circumstances. What course is the Bsr to take ? in what manner and on what conditions is the advocate's assistance to be rendered ? are the questions to which Lord DENMAN applies himself; and a better adviser, or ono more jealous of the honour and dignity of his profession, could not have bee❑ seleetel He had evinced, on a memorable occasion, a spirit and deter mination that will long be the theme of admiratioe, showing that no possible consequences could induce him to swerve from the straight path, or bend his in flexible sense of right. The deliberate opinion of such a man was indeed a matter of importance. It could not be formed on unworthy grounds, or in fluenced by improper motives. A great difference of opinion had previously pre vailed amongst barristers. Many considered that notwithstanding the enactment above referred to, the old etiquette should still be maintained. Mr. Cox, an eminent barrister, who has acquired a high reputation as a legal writer, has put forward these views with great clearness and ability, in a very im portant work, recently published.* Although we differ from the conclusion at which the learned gentle man has arrived, we willingly admit the ability dia -1 played, and the propriety of the arguments advanced, and tender him our thanks for having elicited the important and interesting document, which will be received with respect by the whole Bar, and will pro bably remove the honest doubts that have been enter tained. Lord DENMAN'S opinion is, indeed, ,conclusive on the point. After adverting to the repeal of the pro vision by Act of Parliament, which probably " de tected something absurd in the enforcement of professional etiquette by QUEEN, LORDS, and Commons, and, besides, might doubt the pro priety of maintaining an etiquette which would have necessitated a double outlay by the suitor, and so have run the risk of denying justice to the injured, " he adds, "If the etiquette cannot be made matter of law, can it be expected to establish itself in this new state of things, byvirtu th e e ofan a greement, either express or implied, among mem bers of the Bar ? Ido not hesitate to declare my His ordship then l ays opinion, founded on experience as wel l as la r reflection, —what practice that it cannot, and therefore, feel it to be u nnecessary do t to enter gwhnt tt to be eh o e n p thatrinci p agreed l ewhichn difficulto will command un i versal H inquiry assent, " That all interference of authority I A ith the freedom of actions, not in themselves wrong, is to be avoided as an evil, and one that most commonly a g . g ravates whatever evil it was designed to corr ec t. The forum domesticum, to which the profession paid allegiance as a band of brothers, can hardly maintain its authority over a family so widely diffused, so indefinitely multiplied. Without rules the honourable man will act correctly, and none will restrain those of an opposite character. We trust that the result of this admirable letter will be the formation of regular 13ars in all the more important County Courts. We are certain that the regular attendance of barristers would lead to a better administration of justice; that it would be profitable to themselves, beneficial to the suitors, aye, and even to the Attorneys themselves, whatever they may now think on the subject. We are convinced that it is for the interests of both branches of the legal profession —they are one and indivisible, and that the most THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1862. • "The Advocate: His Training, Practice, Rights, and Duties." By EDWARD W. Cox, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. Vol, I. amicable relations should ever be maintained between them. The combination to which we alluded, nearly bred dissension ; but now that it is totally removed, and, indeed, no longer practicable, we earnestly hope that perfect peace may be restored, and that the per sons who endeavour to breed disputes or to excite jealousies, may be regarded as common enemies, to to be carefully avoided, and their insidious counsels treated with contempt or indifference. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). OPENING OF TERM. This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, the Lord Chancellor entertained the Judges and senior members of the two bars at a derjeuner. The dejcuner was served at his lordship's private residence. Previous to the re ception of the Judges, his lordship had an interview with the Lord Mayor elect (Alderman Challis, M.P.), and signified her Majesty's most gracious approbation of the selection which the citizens had made. The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs were also in attendance, and they had after wards the honour of joining the dejeuner. The Judges went to Westminster-hal in procession. Tho ball was very much crowded, and notwithstanding tbo miserable state of the weather, there was a tolerably good sprink ling of ladies amongst the visitors. CHANCERY COURTS. The only noticeable feature in the Chancery Courts was the swearing in of Mr. Stuart, late M.P. for Stam ford, who has beenjappointed to a Vico-Chancellorship in the room of Vice-Chancellor Parker. Tho oaths were administered to the learned gentleman in the Lord Chancellor's Court, in the presence of Lord St. Leonard's, the Lords Justices, and several Vico-Chancellors. Ho subsequently took his seat, for the first time, in the court formerly oocupied by Vice-Chancellor Parker. Lord St. Leonard's looked extremely well, and seemed to have entirely recovered from the effects of his late accident. In none of the courts were any motions of importance made during the morning. QUEEN'S BENCH. The Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr, Justice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Erle, took their seats on the bench shortly before two o'clock. There was a very full attendance of counsel; but although the Lord Chief Justice went through the bar, no motion PM made of sufficiont public interest to justify a report. BAIL COURT. Mr.:Justico Crompton eat in banco for a short while, and heard several .motions, but they only related to points of practice, and wero entirely of a technical cha racter. EXCHEQUER. The Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Parke, Alderson, and Platt, sat in the Exchequer, and heard side-bar mo tions, which presented no feature of interest except to the parties concerned. CONIDION PLEAS. Only three Judges appeared in this Court, viz , Lord Chief Justice Jervis, Mr. Justice Manic, and Mr. Jus tice Talfourd. The rules moved for were entirely de void of any general interest. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nor. 1. Prince Albert, accompanied by the Duko of Cam bridge and Prince Hermann of Hohenlohe, wont out shooting this morning, attended by Lieut.-Colonel F. IL Seymour, Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon, and Major the lion. J. Macdonald. Lieut.-Colonel the lion. A. Gordon has relieved Lieut.- Colonel F. IL Seymour as Equerry in waiting to the Prince. _ _ _ - The Duke of Cambridge left tho Castle this afternoon for London. . The Esirl and Countess of Shaftesbury have been in vited, and are expected to arrive to-day, on a visit to her Majesty. His Excellency the Baron Bontinck, Minister of the Netherlands, returned to his residence in Lowndes square, last Sunday, from the Hague. The Hon. William Byam, Mr. Francis Shand, and Mr. Joseph Liggins, delegates from Antigua, had an in terview with Sir John Pakington yesterday, at tho Co lonial-office. _ . __.... ~...___ Dispatches from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands were received yesterday at the Colonial office. _ _ Dispatches were sent off yesterday from the Colonial office for the Governors of tho West India Colonies. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. It was attended by the Earl of Derby, the Lord Chancellor, th© Earl of Lonsdale, the Marquis of Salisbury, Mr. Secretary Walpole, the Earl of Nlalinesbury, Sir John Pakington, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Northumberland, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, the E trl of Hardwick°, and Lord John Almoners. roo council sat three hours. SESSIONS AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT DURING THE ENSUINGI MAYORALTY.—The Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, with Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Mettle, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Baron Platt, Mr. Justice Talfourd, and Mr. Justice Crampton, assembled at the Court this morning, to settle the days of commencing the several sessions of the ensuing Mayoralty. They are to be as follows :—Monday, 22d inst. ; Monday, the 13th of December; January 3d, 1853; January 31st ; February 28th; April 4th; May 9th; January 13th; July 4th; August 15th; September 18th; and October 24th, 1853. FUNERAL OP THE DUKE OP WELLINGTON.—A con ference took place yesterday, at twelve o'clock, between Lord Hardinge, the Lord Mayor elect, the Dean of St. Paul's, Sir Richard Mayne, and Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, upon the subject of the arrangements to be observed upon the occasion of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. The consultation lasted upwards of an hour, after which the Lord Mayor elect and the commissioners of the city and metropolitan police had a sitting at the Dean's house, iu St. Paul's churchyard. The orders and regulations to be observed upon this solemn occasion will be published as soon as they shall have received the sanction of the respective authorities. It is understood that the procession will leave Apsley-house at 8 o'clock in the morning, and will reach St. Paul's Cathedral not later than 12. TILE LONDON UNIVEMITY.—As soon as Parlia• ment meets, the members of the senate, who constitute the ruling body of the London University, propose to renew their most strenuous efforts in order to obtain one representative at least for this great educational community. There are now no less than four seats in the House of Commons unallotted, —two for Sudbury, and two for St. Albans, both of which places have been defranchised. ST. MART-LE-STRAND INFANT SCHOOL.—The public annual examination of this institution, consisting of 90 children, in daily attendance, was held last evening in the achoolroom ; the Rev. J. Denham, rector, in the chair. This flourishing institution, to which her Majesty is a subscriber, has during the last twenty-four years afforded instruction to more than 2,500 infants, most of whom have been admitted, at the proper age, into the parochial and Sunday schools. FOREIGN REFUGEES.—Last night a crowded meet ing was held in the British Institution, Cowper-street, Gity. road, for the purpose of sympathizing with, and aiding the foreign refugees at present in the metropolis. A resolution, expressive of sympathy with the expatriated foreigners, and pledging the meeting to aid them both pecuniarily and other wise, was unanimously adopted. The meeting was addressed by some members of the Reform Association, and by nume. rous foreigners at great length, and three cheers having been given for Kossuth and Mazzini, a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the business at a late hour. THE MELANCHOLY END Or ANDERSON, THE CLoWN• — Yesterday evening, Mr. William Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of George Anderson, a celebrated clown and pantomimist, well known at the metropolitan theatres, who committed suicide on Sun day morning last, by leaping from a second-floor room win dow. The deceased, who was 34 years of age, some years ago, in the course of his performance, received a deep cut in his head, which might have disordered his brain. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN OF FORTUNE.--Yester day Mr. Wakely, the coroner, held an inquest in the draw ing -room of Gloucester Villa, Gloucester Gate, Regent's Park on the body of Mr. Charles Cadman, aged 54, carr yi ng on an extensive business as timber-merch an t at Poplar. The inquiry was interesting from some peculiar circumstances connected with deceased.

SUSPECTED SUICIDE IN THE RIVBE Las.—Yester day afternoon an inquest was taken by Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, at the Five Bells public-house, Three Colt street, Limehouse, on the body of a male person unknown, who it was supposed had committed suicide, fro want and desti tutiuu. '[he jury, in the absence of positive testimony, re turned a verdict of'' Found dead in the river Les." SUSPECTED MURDER BY POISON IN ESSEX —ln consequence of a report that a woman named Sarah Lister, who died two years and a half since at North Ockenden, a village about six miles from Brentwood, had come to her death by unfair means, an enquiry was set on foot, which resulted in suspicion being attached to her husband, James Lister, a farm labourer, who now acts as ostler at the White Hart public-house in the neighbourhood, and who is about 40 years of age. On Friday last the body, which was in a state of decomposition, was disinterred, and the stomach removed for analysis by Professor Taylor. A coroner's jury H subsequently met at the White art, where it appeared from the evidence that the pains suffered by the deceased at her death closely resembled those which are caused by poison, and that the accused was often in the habit of ill-using her. The inquiry was adjourned for a few days, until Professor Taylor makes his report. ANOTHER SLIP ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL WAY.—EarIy yesterday (Monday) morning, another slip of earth occurred in the Spittal-gate cutting, on the main line of the Great Northern Railway, within a short distance of the plus where a similar accident happened on the 13th ult. MUN.EY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocic. At Liverpool, yesterday, the cotton market was not very active. The sales included 1000 bales of Ameri can, which were taken for exportation, and 8000 on speculation. Prices were firm. Railway shares were steady, but rather quiet. The Inland Revenue department has given answer to inquiries made, that all chicory retailed must have on the packages the name of the last seller. It cannot be used either, in its raw state, in a room entered for the storeage or sale of coffee. Nor must a room used for roasting coffee be made available for packing chicory. The foreign advices are very good in reference to the state of the produce markets. At Ilamurgh, on Friday last, the demand for sugar, coffee, and cotton was brisk, at fuller rates. Discounts were 3i to 4 per cent. The rate of exchange on London dropped to 13, 31 In stocks and shakes a moderate business was done. Stocks are very firm this morning although there is not a large business doing. Consols realise 100 to A for money, and account Bank Stock is more buoyant, being quoted 22:31 to 2241. The New Three-and•a Quarter per Cents. are 103 k to and the Three per Cents., 991 to /. Exchequer Bibs are steady at 755. to 78s. for those dated March, and East India Bonds at 87s. premium. The price of the Turkish Scrip comes low still from Paris, but there is evidently a very limited mar ket for it there. The dealings here have been at 3i to 34 prem. Mexican Bonds have drooped again, having been as low as 241 then up to 241 and being now again 24* to 4 ; this arises from the very unfavourable political state of the Republic, and the apprehension that the renewed disturbances will still more etnbarass the finances of the Government. Peruvian Bonds are higher, being 103 to 1044. Buenos Ayres have risen to 80 and 82. Spanish Three per Cents. are firm at 511 to 52, and the Deferred at 251 to 4. The Committee's Certifi cate is at 3.1 4 prem. Belgian Four-and a-Half per Cents are 95. The Swedish Loan is not better than dis. to par. The Railway Share Market is looking up again, and a fair business is doing in most of the English lines. French Shares are also at very full prices, though not particularly brisk. The settlement in the Upper India Shares is in progress, and the shares are being freely taken up by strong parties. Th — o Gold Mines are steady. The Cordillera Set tlement is, by order of the Committee of the Stock Exchange, to take place next Friday. Upon the state and prospects of the Railway Mar ket, Messrs. Lamond give the following information "An almost uninterrupted rise has taken place in Railway Shares, and the amount of business transacted has been very large. So great an activity in this de partment has necessarily created some fluctuations, but they have been wholly unimportant, compared with the decided movement made by the jobbers, towards estab lishing a greater advance in these securities. The prospects of traffic, the abundance of money, and the revival of confidence among the public in this descrip tion of negotiable property, has stimulated the the market to such an extent that the Shares of every Company has benefited to some de gree, and English, French, and Belgian, have severally secured an amount of attention that has scarcely been witnessed since the great period of 1845-46. But while this is the case, and although a studied attempt has been made to enlist sympathy in various new projects, started with attractive allurements, in the shape of guaranteed dividends, the endeavour has wholly failed, and the mass of undertakings presented aro either not quoted at all, or at such a miserable premium, as plainly to indicate the kind of reception they have re ceived. It is evident, therefore, that capitalists and others are not ready to encourage a universal mania, and appear solely inclined to direct their outlay in Shares which pay a dividend, or promise, from the ascertained nature of the line and locality, to yield, at no distant date, a fair return. Prompted by considerations of this nature, the reason is easily ascertained for the absorption in such a channel of the entire business of the market. French and Belgian Shares, in an astonishing degree, preserve their buoyancy. Even in the middle of the month, when a sudden check was given to the various schemes, the decline in French was trifling, and was speedily recovered. The advance has since been rapid, and has been fully maintained, with out any immediate symptom of reaction. With regard to English undertakings, preparations for amal gamation between the London and North-Western, and Midland and Chester and Holyhead Companies, the Yoile, Newcastle and Berwick, the York and North Midland, and Leeds Northern Companies, have been mooted, which has caused them to improve, although it is yet questioned whether a proper fusion of interests can be accomplished. The vacancy occasioned by the retirement of Mr. G. C. Glyn from the Chairmanship of the London and North-Western remains open, and not withstanding many successors have be©n named, no ac tual selection has been effected." BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.

The report stated that the deanery of South wark, in 1811, had a population of 305,000 souls; now it was moderately estimated at 400,000. Allowing one clergyman for each 3,000 persons, there ought to be 133 independent clergymen in the deanery ; while there were only 46, or about one-third only of the number that was required. During the year, one of their readers had visited 850 families, and had been in every case well received; he had held 2,908 inter views, for reading the scriptures and giving religious instruc tion. In that district alone, between 50 and 60 adults would shortly be presented at St. Mark's Church for baptism.

Pudney, of Mile-end, and C. Westhall, of Lon don. Jackson, who won, covered the distance, two miles, in 10 minutes 20 seconds, over a heavy ground, it being nearly ankle-deep in mud.

TRIBUTE TO LORD RAGLAN.—We understand from officers of rank in the army (says the United Service Gazette), that it is in contemplation to propose, for the ac ceptance of Lord a splendid and suitable memorial of the grateful sense entertained by them of his efficient public services, during the many years in which he fulfilled the important and laborious duties of Military Secretary to the illustrious Commander, who is so soon to be followed to his grave by the attendant sorrow of the whole British nation, and of the sympathetic respect of all Europe. We have much pleasure in making known the probability of an opportunity being shortly given for the realization of this well-2arned tribute to the services and worth of the noble. and gallant soldier so long known, and honoured, and beloved as Lord Fitzroy Somerset.
