We would not undervalue the services of her MAJESTY'S Privy Council, not even of the eighteen new Councillors from the " unworked diggings" of Lord DERBY, recently added to the list. These latter will doubles bring some virgin gold to her Ma awdrr's intellectual treasury, and if there should be much dross or matrix mixed with the precious metal, assuredly in these (153 the art of refining is pretty well under! tood. We think, however, that her MA.- JESTY'S Public Council, is become of quite equal value, probably in the eyes of Monarchy itself, certainly in those of the public and of her MAJESTY'S Cabinet, with her Privy Couucil. It is etiquette indeed for the Salons composing a Government of the day, and the ex•Solons who lately composed one, to seem not to know the discussions going oa in the daily and better weekly papers. It would not be quite the thing for my Lord JOHN Rossano, or my Lord Dertßr to answer in form a leader in the Times or the Morning . Post, much less to avow that such unauthorised ad vice had effected a Cabinet decision. But such argu ments are taken up and replied to, not only by the H O4 . Member for -, when refuting the Hon. Member for -; but even by th e " Noble Duke on the right" answering the " Noble Lord on his left." Some dozen of her MAJESTY'S public council (although their n ames appeared not in the Cozzrt Circular) did, moreove r, assuredl y accompanyßoyalty to Balmoral itself, and aided greatly both the PEE_ mita and bis Royal Mistress in their deliberati ons . Row perplexed would both have been without their accustomed public advisers! As to the ssge of Hughenden Manor, we are per fectly sure that be watches with anxious interest all the leaders and letters which have lately occupied public attention on the income-tax. Amply supplied with information from the best " official sources," and competent himself to no mean difficulty, he yet finds in the papers of the day contributions by writers quite his equals on this subject; he finds facts and thoughts, which his best otlicsa . ls ignore or overlook, stated, developed, and argued on with power. He is aware, too, that this is all done by her MAJESTY'S public council. Its sittings are open to all concerned. If he knows not what is debated and this open decided in o p e n Cabinet, the public does, and a hundred M.P.'s will soon inform him. what, indeed, can any reasonable statesman do, unites thoroughly acquainted with the Times ? Did not the great Duke even make his greatest political blunder through refusing to read aright the Times in which he lived ? Without the Daily News how could he hope to conduct the daily business of the empire ? Even Lord PALMERSTON'S official information wa s generally a day at least too late ; and the latter, when it did arrive, found the answers all ont and dried for transmission. Without a Morning Chronicle and Advertiser, the routine of Downing-street =it infallibly rock its inmates in too protracted a slumber. The value of a Standard is unquestioned amongst men of such tender moral susceptibilities as politicians in office.

What a figure has even the t veteran WEBSTER just cue, through bis ig norance ,of Peruvian Islands; and we can assure Lord lALMESBURY that a great many Englishmen think be has much more need to shut himself up tc study in his department, than has Mr• -BENJAMIN DISRAELI. The last rays of the Great Luminary, we are confident, cannot be too much prized. A climate where, however cloudy and dubious 'the morning, the Evening Sun is always seen, enjoys a t least the most pleasing soothing light of nature ; and every statesman knows that almost from time itn memorial The Sun has, with his evening rays, expressed for him intelligence for which he must .)therwise have waited the long night through. But a word about the light shed on everything by The Sun, must be quite superfluous. Adverting to our weekly coadjutors, too, it may well be feared that without a Spectator some more deeds of special darkness might escape publicity ; without an Econo mist we are quite sure they would get into far worse scrapes with Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT, and irritate Mr. Hymn perhaps almost fatally : and with out an Examiner, not only our statesmen, but our judges of all sorts, our courts of justice, and even our juries, would often be far more right in their own eyes, and wrong in those of the public, than they now are. We of the Press have indeed been denominated the Fourth Estate, and certainly no measure which an un • questioned majority of our body has passed, has failed ultimately to pass also the other three estates of the realm; neither has any measure on which we have put our veto, been able to escape a veto of the third estate, whatever favour it may have had with the other two. But probably the lesson bequeathed us by the great man who has just left us, has disposed us to look upon ourselves in a more courtly light. We wish to remember that we are in her MAJESTY'S service. We think her MAJESTY will own, that for loyalty to her person, and for fidelity in giving advice, open at the same time to herself, her Ministries, her Lords and faithful Commons, and all her subjects too, she has not a better servant in the realm than her Ma jesty's public council. Sometimes, indeed, when she is supposed to be out of hearing, we quarrel rather rudely among ourselves (not more so, however, than the literati did in learned Latin half a century ago) ; and sometimes we lash pretty severely some of her MAJESTY'S paid servants ; she may be assured, how ever, that this is done purely for her own sake. She would otherwise find them utterly unmanageable. Her MAJESTY may have thought that, because so many Ministries of late have taken office, as they have avowed in the Houses of Parliament, out of genuine pity for her MAJESTY'S forlorn condition, when all her servants have been seized with a resig nation fit—because one Ministry pitied her in a petticoat quarrel, and another in a militia fix, and the like—that they cherish for here special reverence and kindness. We beg to assure her that, however loyal and generous the self-denying accepters of her offices and her thousands a year, may be, we, who would at her public command be happy to render her any service gratuitously, we who do labour' to perform her such invaluable service, requited only by our mens conscia recti,— we are not only her cheapest, but her most service able servants. We make their service) if that be possible) worth the money; and we beg to make one humble request to her MAJESTY, to ask one acknow ledgment of our services, that on the only occasion on which she addresses her subjects—when rank and nobility, male and female fashion and elegance are crowding around her, when her Lords and faithful Commons are on tiptoe to catch a sight of the something which has been so long looming in the future—that she would then, solemnly from the throne, with the voice which interests 30 millions of her subjects, declare her obligations, and the obligations of all her servants, to her MAJESTY'S public council. A specimen of one of its most important services is now before our eyes. Letters and articles on the income-tax. Mr. BABBAGE and the economists, en deavour to bewilder Mr. HUME and the actuaries. Tax each kind of income alike, says Mr. BABBAGE. Fax them according to their varied values, say the actuaries. Tax 1001. a year over the counter, and 1001. a year from land alike, says Mr. B. Capitalize them, say the actuaries, and the one pound will sell for 20 years' purchase, or 2,0001, the other at most for not more than six or seven, that is, at most 7001. Ought the two to pay alike ? Yes, says Mr. 8., the shopkeeper's 1001., lasts, say, ten years, and pays ten taxes. The landowner's lasts an endless number of years, and pays perpetually. To this it is answered, there is an evident fallacy somewhere. You may compel the one man to pay the same annual tax as the other, but no sophistry can convince him that it is just for him to do it. The landowner in wardly boasts while he says it's all fair; the shop keeper is inwardly sure of being wronged, though a senior wrangler may silence him, and a House of landlords make him pay. But in our public council all parties are pitted fairly against each other, and an actuary shows conclusively Owe his letter in The Sun of Saturday) that one fallacy at least is this—reckoning the two incomes, as if they were both entirely incomes. Whereas the 1001. a year from land, or Consols, is purely income, leaving the capital quite untouched ; while the income from any temporary source is com posed of income and capital too, inasmuch as it con sumes the capital itself in a certain ratio every year— consumes it so completely that the capital vanishes when the income ceases to the individual. We will not enlarge, but leave Mr. DISRAELI, and each tax payer under schedules D and E to ponder this valu able suggestion. To us it seems pretty clear that where the actuaries, men whose business lies, and whose lives are spent in, the study of the values of every kind of income, are unanimous on a question like this, no honest legislators could hesitate to prefer their guidance to that of theoretical mathematicians, economists, none of the latter, more over, agreeing among themselves. Nay, it were even conceivable that both may prove to be right. The mathematician may determine almost mechanically by his formulm the work which a steam-engine and its machinery will do, but we should take final counsel with the head mechanic in the factory when one en gine was to be made. He could tell us what it would do, allowing for friction and other things, of which the theorist has but vague conceptions. And possibly the BABBAGES may be mathematically right, but practically and socially wrong. The market value, the thing known to the actuary, is without question the only test of value for actual life. " A thing i s worth what it will sell for." If not taxed according to what it will sell for, it is, therefore, not taxed ac cording to its worth. Another circumstance, too, is pretty much over looked. We mean the increased trouble given to the State by incomes from land and most fixed sources, Nothing is more exposed than land and its produce —nothing more the creature of law than the public funds ; and if trade and business are dependent upon public order, so is the cultivation of land. If the tradesman's person needs the protection of the State, so does that of the landlord ; but that which is already become property is open to the direct attacks of every kind of fraud or violence. Not only does the man who derives his income from realized property enjoy a more valuable income, he also en.. j o ys one which needs more protection from the State. H e who has a hundred a year, and two thousand pounds whenever he likes to sell it, ought to pay more than be who has a hundred a year, with 5001 , if he se ll s it now, and nothing to sell a t all in five years hence. The former also ought to pay more, because he makes annually more work for the State, in insuring his property against fraud and violence. Bethlehemsurer,uiatls. governors, now u p 0 t n r , e itsa- ron matron, and Hospital m 0 medical trial. Fifteen months ago, on complaints made be fore them, as to mismanagement of that lunatic asy ralroaffithceerri)t,s lum, the metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy com menced an investigation, which has been reported at length in some of the public journals, has ex cited much indignant comment, and has indis putably proved that the greatest abuses have been allowed, by those who were paid to prevent it, to exist in the management of the unhappy people confined and coerced there. i The health and the feelings of the unfortunates in Bethlehem appear to have been much uncared for. In tilt Last of thi3 metropolis what ought to have been a public blessinghas been converted into a public nuisance. The treatment of the lunatics has been a hundred times worse, in its systematic cruelty, than that of the worst criminals. In short, what has transpired makes us blush for humanity, makes us lament that, in the middls of the nineteenth century, lunatics should be treated as badly as they were when the philanthropy of HOWARD gave the first impetus to the amelioration of the disci pline in prisons and lunatic asylums. It is impossible that this state of things can be allowed to continue. It should have been prevented and corrected by those high and mighty personages—literally the master and the mistress of Bethlehem—namely JOHN EDWARD JOHNSTON, treasurer of the United Hospitals of Bridewell and Bethlehem, and HENRIETTA HUNTER, the matron. There is the case of Miss HANNA II HYSON. She was admitted as a patient to Bethlehem. Her medical attendant had been seeing her for three weeks before. She was thin, but not greatly ema ciated ; her body was free from wounds, her bodily health had been "of average goodness" for two years before, and her disease was hysterical mania. She was " temporarily lunatic" when he signed the usua paper for her admission, and had refused her food for two or three days before she left home. She en tered Bethlehem on April 4, 1851, and Mr. CHARLES TAYLOR (her medical attendant) saw her again after she had come out, at the end of a fortnight's con finement. " She struck him as being very much altered in appear ance, and very emaciated ; she was very much thinner than when she went in, and her bones were almost projecting through her skin.' Her mind was much less wandering ; but her countenance was very anxious and dejected, and she looked miserable altogether. She had no paralysis, but squinted a little, which was not the case before she went in. She was labouring under diarrhoea. He did not examine her person, and could not say whether there were any wounds. He saw her face, but forgets whether he noticed the marks that evening or not. Believes it was that evening or the next morning her mother said, 'Oh I Mr. Taylor, my girl has been terribly ill-treated, and I wish you to look at her,' and he then particularly examined her body all over, and had a written account of it somewhere. There was, to the best of his memory, a place' or mark on the upper lip, and one on her cheek also. The wit ness then, in answer to a variety of questions, detailed the various marks and wounds upon the patient's body, on the ankles, knees, hips, elbows, &c. She died on the morning of the 22d, four days after leaving the hospital, and we' examined the body. By ' we' he meant Dr. Wood, the resident apothecary of the hospital, his part ner, Mr. Crisp, and himself. The immediate cause of her sinking was diarrhoea and want of food. She did not refuse her food after she came out. Witness said to her,' Hannah, now you must take what I tell yew,' she said she would, and she did. When he said she died from want of food, he meant the combined effects of taking very little nourishment with constant diarrhoea completely exhausted her. She was labouring under diarrheas when she came out, and died of that and exhaustion. He particularly noticed that she Lad no paralysis. When he and his partner were about to commence the post mortem examination the morning after her death, Dr. Wood came in. The body was very emaciated, and there were the wounds already described, but he really could not say what they arose from. The places' on her ankles caused him to suspect whether they had not been bound. He thought she bad been bound. It appeared to him as if there had been some fetter or bandage, or ligature, but others might give a different opinion. The other wounds could not have been from ligatures—they must have been caused by some violence or external applications. He did not sup pose they had been caused by picking or scratching. Hi s impression was that she had been ill-treated, but be could not say in what way the wounds had been pro duced. It might have been by tumbling about, or by being struck or bruised in some way. She might h ave been rubbed on the fl )or, but he was decidedly of opinion that they were not self-inflicted or body sores." Further, "he was now ready to admit, after all that he had heard and all that had passed, that .hiss HYSON had been harshly used in the hospital. Th e night befor e s h e di e d he went to the hospital to try to see Dr. WOOD, to obtain more information about the wounds and marks on her person. Dr. WOOD was not within, and he saw the matron, who told him that she believed it was from the cut ends of the straw, but she had not heard of them before. She said she had been told of them since, but was not aware of them previously. She was not aware when Miss HYSON left the hospital that she had any wounds upon her person." Of course not. It will presently appear how little trouble Mrs. HUNTER (the matron) gave herself about the patients. There was the case of Miss WHETTINGHAM, a delicate girl, who " had no marks or bruises on her body when she went in," on January 9, 1851. After her admission her mother and some of her friends went to see her, and it was two months before this was allowed, and then " she appeared to be in great distress, and cried bitterly. The mother entreated her not to do so, and she said, 'I cannot help it; I cry all night.' She said 'Look at my fingers' (one of them was very much swollen); and when witness in quired the cause she said it was one of the nurses, and she also showed her bruises all down the side ; but wit ness had not the opportunity of seeing any more. When asked why she did not complain to Dr. Woof), the poor creature said it is of no use complaining to Dr. WOOD. While they were talking Dr. WOOD happened to come up, and the mother showed the bruised hand and the marks on her side, and he showed the swelled hand to one of the nurses, and asked, How is this ?' The nurse said, Oh, that is an old affair.' The joint of the finger was very much swollen. The name of the nurse was ELIZABETH. Her daughter told her that it was not that nurse who had given her the bruises, bat that ELIZABETH used to beat her with the keys. The bruises were not caused by her tumbling about, but she at one time had the misfortune to fall and hurt her hip, and the least push or blow given her by the nurses would throw her down. Her daughter slept for three months in the basement story—she said she never slept on anything but the bare straw, and no night clothes whatever. Witness had no opportunity of examining her bed end bedding, as she was not admitted into the place where her daughter slept. Every time the poor girl saw her mother she complained of ill-treatment, and the mother and friends unfortunately thought it was one of her delusions. On the second visit she com plained that, being awake all night, she overslept her self, and the nurse came and dragged her by the hair of her head to make her get up, and shook her so violently that it brought on a violent ft of coughing. On an other occasion her face appeared very much swollen with constantly crying. The patient was discharged cured on the 7th of June. Before she left she said she would certainly make a complaint when she went before the committee, but Mrs. HUNTER begged she would not, as ELIZABETH, the nurse, had a mother to keep, and the poor girl, being a feeling young per son, agreed not to make the complaint. The matron stood beside the patient when she went before the committee, so that she could not say anything. She had since gone to her relatives in Somersetshire, in the hope that change of air might further benefit her. Among other things which she told her mother after she left the hospital was that on one occasion she was going to take a bath—whether she did not do it pro perly or not could not be ascertained, but no less than three of the nurses forced her in again, and ill-treated her very much, and she begged never to be put in a bath again. She also complained of their calling her most shocking names, and of very bad language being used towards her." Miss MORLEY'S case resembled the two others. She came out of Bethlehem covered with 801•55 and a brasions, the consequence of neglect, an d was three weeks before she recovered from these injuri es . Dr. N ESB ITT, in his letter to the Commissioners, said sores and abrasions were evidently the consequences of neglect—that the patient uniformly complained of the treatment to which she was subjected in Beth lehem Hospital—that she had nothing but straw t o li e on, and there was no attempt to interpose any kind of protection between her body and 'the straw—that it hart her much, and she had no clothes even to cover her. She described her whole treatment to be harsh and coarse, and the recollection of it to inspire her with horror—that the nurses were in the habit of giving her nicknames derived either from the colour of her skin or from her habits, and that they treated her like a brute. He adds that the patient is remark able for truthfulness:" Some of the evidence went to show that the pa tients in the basement story (a place of punishment, it would seem,) used to be turned out every morning into a room floored with stone flags, there washed with mops and cold water, and the lunatics' clothes put on them without their bodies being dried after this mopping ! Mr. JoHN EDWARD JOIINSON, treasurer for the last three years (and virtually the manager of Beth lehem► Hospital), gave evidence meant to be exculpa tory. He stated that he hid assigned to the matron the "moral treatment" of the patients, and by this ho mean t " proper exercise and employment;" —th a t h© h i ra ws w e n t mud the hoaptal about once u fort. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1852. night, and always with an attendant ; —that he went to the basement more frequently than esewhere;—that, " only so far as the general rules go," he made no inquiries as !o the bodily condition or comforts of the patients )---that the medi cal examination of 400 patients occupied about one hour (or less than one minute to every six lunatics), and that the bed-rooms were not visaed or examined. But the evidence was that of Mrs. HENRIETTA HUNTER, the matron, a lady who rally seems batter suited for a boudoir in May tan so vulgar a place as Bethlehem. She recognises the treasurer as her master—the controlling authority, who visited the hospital once a fortnight. We annex a part of her examination : " Do you keep any notes of what you sea?—lf any thing very particular occurs, I makes memorandum. " You would not report it to anybooy?—lt is not part of my duty. I have never been directed so to do. " If you remove a patient from the Tipper story to the basement, to whom do you report it' --I do not report it. The physicians and the resident meeical man would soon find out that the patient had been removed, and if they thought it wrong, they would alter it. You do not re port it then—do you enter it in any book?—I have a book in which I mice entries from day to day, and if I were to put a patient in a different ward, I should erase tho name from No. 1 or No. 3, or from the basement, as the case might be. It is a book where I put down the names of the patient. Ido not say it is my duty to do so, but in it I recori it, if a patient is removed from No. 2 or No. 3, or any other ward. " Who is that book seen by ?—Na one. I keep it for my own satisfaction. I have never been directed to keep a book of the kind, but I do it. " The patients sometimes refuse to take their food; how are they treated who so refuse]—Why, the nurse. and if one is not sufficient, two will feed the patient. I have often gone myself, and I know Dr. Wood has often gone to see a patient of this kind fel. It has occurred that the stomach-pump has been used in extreme cases. " Do you know whether the medicines prescribed for the patients are duly administered?—No, I do not. "Do you trust to the nurses?—They are directed to be administered by the medical man, who gives the medicines to the nurses with directions. " But you have no means of knowing that the nurses fulfil their duty in this particular?—No; my only se curity is having fur the head nurse a woman who has been there some years, and in whom we have confidence. " Are you aware that any of the female patients in the basement sleep entirely naked on loose straw, with out anything being interposed between the straw and their bodies?—No, I never saw that. I will not say I never saw it, because I did when I first came there. " How many years ago?—Eleven, and then I made an application for troughs to enclose the straw. "It is only recently that the straw has been placed into covers?—lt is only a recent thing on the basement. " Formerly they used to be put into the straw without any cover?—Yes, with a blanket put upon them. " Do you mean a blanket placed between the body of the patient and the straw 2—No, not with regard to the patient herself, but the bedding. The patient was pre sumed to have some sort of clothing or covering about her, such as her flannel, or her shift. "And a blanket over her?—Yes. " She was placed on the straw ?—The blanket first on the straw, and then the patient. " And then a blanket over the patient?—Yes." We need not go on. There is no use in proceed ing with the disgusting details of this Mrs. HUNTER, whose humanity appears developed and exhausted in the crowning effort of her matronship, that eleven years ago she applied for troughs to confine the straw in which the basement patients sleep! A farmer's lad would have done as much for his master's pigs I Of course, the matter is nct to rest here. The treasurer and the matron are eminently entitled to be relieved from the further management of Bethlehem. The whole system there must be changed. It is too bad for human cruelty and carelessness to make miserable those whom it has pleased GOD to afflict with the loss of reason. AMERICAN NEWS• ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The American mail ateam•ship Pacific has just arrived here, direct from New York. She brings advices to the 3d inst., 106 passengers, and 420,000 dells. in specie on freight. _ Just before the departure of the Pacific, a tele graphic communication had reached New York from New Orleans, stating that advices from Cali fornia to Sept. 1, with t wo m illi ons o f d o ll ars , we re on the way to New Y or k . W e do not l earn , how ever, that she conveyed any political news of im portance. From Havannah later dates had arrived at New York, which reported the arrest and conviction of several persons connected with the paper called the Voice of the P?oplt, five of whom were to be exe cuted, and the remainder to be sent to Ceuta for eight years. It was reported that the French Go vernment bad intimated to the Cubau Government, that in case an invasion of Cuba was attempted by the American people, they might calculate upon the aid of France to repel the invaders. COMMERCIAL NEWS. The papers and letters by thi s arr i va l report busi ness very brisk in all the marts of commerce through out the Union. Money was more scarce, and slightly higher rates dema n ded. In the Stock Market the demand was moderate, and in price there was not any change. Cotton—la cotton there was but little doing.

BELCHER'S SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. — We have heard that intelligence has been re ceived from the squadron commanded by Sir E. Belcher, and led by him up the Wellington Channel, to the effect that, from what they have discovered floating down the Channel —remains of whales, bears, and other animal substances— the party have been led to the conclusion th a t not on l y i s there food fbr mankind in that direction, but that the float ing portions of whales and bears form the relics of what have been actually consumed by human beings. Sir E. Belcher has by this time most probably_ explored th e reg i ons pronounced to be accessible by Captain Penny, but injudi ciously abandoned, and has thus confirmed the truth of Penny's testimony. It is fearful to contemplate the conse quences of a year's delay in following the track presumed to have been taken by Franklin, as of course hopes of effectual succour must be diminished by the year's postponement of that search which Penny so warmly suggested on the spot, and which he so nobly volunteered to undertake on his return to England last autumn.—Herald. NEW OMNIBUSES. — Some little curiosity was ex cited in the principal thoroughfares yesterday, by the pa rading of several very elegant vehicles marked as " The Pattern Omnibuses of the Grand Junction Omnibus Com pany." They were taken to Scotland-yard, and the Guild hall, where they were inspected by several aldermen and gen. tlemen, and also by Mr. Yardley, on the part of the Com missioners of Police. The public accommodation has been consulted in the new omnibus. The inside passenger can enter without stooping. and go without jostling, there being a handrail at each side overhead. The seats are broader and longer than general, the width being gained by a closer approach of the sides to the wheels, effected by an ingenious modification of the springs. The outside passenger can as cend easily by a bide-step ladder, the heightening of the roof accommodates the outside passenger also by elevating his seat. The appearance of the vehicle is exceeding light and elegant, and though carrying less than an ordinary omnibus by two cwt., it is actually stronger and 301. cheaper in cost. There is a bell outside by which the conductor signals to stop, and one inside by which the passenger ac quaints the conductor of his wish toget; out. A patent break, also under the control of the coachman himself, affords the means of stopping the vehicle instantaneously. The plan to be adopted by:this new company in regard to fares is that of a penny a mile throughout; and they are to have stations and waiting-rooms for their customers, adding also to the usual business of carrying passengers, the conveyance and delivery of parcels to every part of London. How THEY PUNISH TREASON IN PERSIA.—We mentioned a few days since the attempt against the Shah of Persia. We now learn that Hajee Suleiman Khan, accused as the instigator of the crime, was seized, his body carefully drilled with a knife in parts which would not at the moment cause death ; pieces of lighted candles were then introduced into the holes, and, thus illuminated, carried in procession through the bazaar, and finally conveyed to the town gates, and there cleft in twain like a fat ram. The Kurret-il - Ain, better known as Bab's Lieutenant, or the Fair Prophetess of Kazoeen, who since the late religious outbreak had been kept a close prisoner at the capital, has been executed with some dozen others. His Majesty received three slug wounds in the shoulders, but all of a very slight nature. DRIIIIY-LANE THEATRE.—We are requested to state that the obloquy which has attached to the committee of Drury-lane Theatre, on the ground that it hired the theatre to persons who were incompetent to keep it open for a week, is not founded on fact. The lease of the theatre for the hail-year commencing in June is not in the hands of the committee, but in those of the manager of Covent-Garden Theatre. WRITS OF Ex EC unori.—An important alteration is made by the Common Law Procedure Act with respect to writ“.f execution.

The sales of Cotton at Livsrpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed firmly, with a hardening tendency. The sates comprised 7,000 American, 1,270 Pernam and Maranham, at 6-al. to 7* - L, 200 Bahia at bid. to 6-ad. 400 Egyptian at 6td. to is. 6d., 1,000 Surat at 3d. to 5 d., and 40 Sea Island at Is. 10d. to 23. 6J. per lb.—Railway Shares were steady. The Indigo auctions have been going off rather quietly. Good and fine marks, however, have sold well at previous rateF, but the middling, when unsupported, has been easier. The steamer Pacific has arrived with accounts from the United States of one or two days' later date. Bu siness generally continued brisk, but cotton and bread stuffs were rather quiet. The amount of specie on board is 420,000 dollars, but of this a good deal is for the continent. Foreign bills of exchange were scarcely so high yes terday. Paper dated 90 days brought 25.45 to 50 on Paris, 12 to 12.01 on Amsterdam, 13.8 to 84 on Ham qurgb, and 11.48 to 52 on Trieste. Silver is still in demand. In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 11th inst. there was not much done in Ducth Bonds. Spanish found numerous buyers at b e tt er p r i ces . P ort uguese were in rather more demand. Russian and Austrian Bonds were much the same. .The Banking Instit u t e h as re - commence d it s sess ional soirees, and last evening Mr. Francis, of the Bank of England, gave an interesting lecture upon the advan tages of " Commercial Crises," which elicited many in structive comments. Alderman Challis most efficiently presided, and Mr. Gilbert and other gentlemen of in fluence were present. The Stock Market, although scarcely so buoyant as yesterday, continues good upon the whole, and the pay ment of the dividends will probably have a sup porting influence, although foreign affairs will be rather anxiously watched, and the abstraction of bullion for foreign loans and railway undertakings will bo a counter-attraction to our steady-going Three per Cents. The official notice from the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt has been issued and the purchases of stock will no doubt be periodical, as usual. Consols have been 1001 to and are now 1001 for Transfer. For November 11 the quotations are 100} The rat© of "continuation" has slightly increased, this being the settling day.

Peruvian Bonds have been 10l i to 103 ex-dividend, and Chilian 105, leaving a slight improvement for the latter. Mexican are nominally 24k to i. The Account is working in the Share-market, and Railways are not quite so good. Upon the old lines the "continuation" is about ito i per cent. for the fort night.
