CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Bales, 5,000 bales. Railway Shares were very quiet, and prices were ratner lower again. There are no arrivals with late intelligence of in erest from the colones or other parts, and the Conti- Lental advices are not important. The Money Market is easy, and the payment of divi dends next week at the Bank of England will add fur ther to the amount in circulation. Business does not ab sorb much at present. The private meeting of the railway directors, Messrs. Gljn, Russell, and Chaplin, is exciting considerable at tention, and is much talked of, but the statements abroad are. for the most part, simply conjectural. The general intention, it is pretty well understood, is to promote harmony and economy, and these will be material ob jects gained. The Timber Market is very dull at present, and so far particularly unfavourable for the colonists. The reports received relative to the probable vintage of this year abroad are generally satisfactory, and upon the dried Fruit trade in London _ we may give the fol lowing:— "There is every reason to expect that if there be an adequate supply, and prices continue moderate, the con sumption of Raisins will this season exceed that of the last ; although at least a month's consumption was lost at the early part of last season by the high opening price of 50s. yet nearly 4 , 000 t ons of raisins of all kinds were cleared here for consumption between the middle of September and Christmas, or 700 tons more than the total stuantity of Valentias received at this port during the season just closed. It is not likely that Turkey fruit can arrive here in any quantity till the middle or end of November, and as there is no old fruit whatever to fall back upon the London importers, considering especially the excel lent keeping quality of this year's fruit, do not seem disposed to follow the example of Liverpool in realising their fruit at so great a sacrifice in price. " The clearances at this port for home consumption have lately fallen off considerably, having been only 870 tons from ll2d ult. to the 19th inst., against 770 tons in 1547, 230 tons in 1846 (the stock was then ex hausted), and 410 tons in 1845. We have, however, again to report an increase, though slight, in those of Liverpool,- from which fact we may infer, that the condition of the operative classes in the menu featuring districts is improving, and that the consump tion of the United Kingdom which, by the last Govern *sent returns, had, during the first seven months of this year, exceeded that of " th e same p eriod of 1847, by no ess than 2,400 tons, is likely progressively to in crease. The falling in the consumption of Currants last year occurred during the period wherein it has so de cidedly increased this year." The English Stock Market has been flat again this morning. Consols have been 851 to 86 for Transfer, and $6 to * for Account. Exchequer-bills 295. to 325. premium. India Stock, 236. Foreign Stocks are quiet, but firm.

The following was posted at Lloyd's:— TONNAGE DUES M ANDANILA EXPORT DUTIES AT THE StrN, LONDON, SECONDARIES%--(TIIIS DAY.) There was only one inquiry this day, "Bachoffner v. Bachoffner," to recover_4s/. for money lent. A written admission of the debt being put in, a verdict was given for the amount. THE CHARTIST TRIALS. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. CONTINUATION OF, THE TRIAL OF CUFFE Y, LACY, AND FAY. Mr Baron Platt and Mr. Justice Williams took their seats on the bench at ten o'clock. The examination of Daniel Burn was resumed. He said between ten and eleven o'clock one night at the end of April, or the beginning of May, Powell showed him two pistols in the street. Ile asked him if he (witness) was prepared: he was continually asking him the ques tion. He said (speaking of the pistols), " These are the things to do for them (the police). I wish to see some good fires in London." Saw Powell at the Milton-street Theatre on the 28th of July,:and thinking he was a dan gerous man he cautioned Mullins and others. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Was opposed to violence. Was at the Kennington-common meeting. There saw two persons give up their arms to parties in the van, because it was understood that no one was to go armed. Was at the Clerkenwell meeting. Did not go in the procession which started from that meeting, but saw the procession walk round Finsbury square. Did not walk with it. Had belonged to the Dean-street district, but had no class leader over him. Was now an unenrolled. Did not go to Kennington-common again, and would not go again to any Chartist meeting there, because on the 10th he was stopped at Blackfriars bridge, on his way home, and then found that he and the other Chartists had been caught in a trap. Wm. Gardener, a carpenter, living at Hoxton, was next called—He said he was not a Chartist. Knew Powell. Had known him whilst at Mr. Smith's, six or seven years ago. Should certainly not believe him on his oath. Cross-examined by the ATTWANET-GENERAL —Had heard him deny the existence of a future state, saying the whole story was a tissue of falsehoods. He appeared well read in the Scriptures. Knew Powell by the sobri qwt of " Lying Tom." Had heard him called " Lying .Fom" to his face by a lad called " Jack." Henry Watson, bricklayer, deposed that he had known Powell from his boyhood, and was at school with him. From what he knew of him be would not believe him on his oath. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Had heard him say that he wished he could drag his old father out of his grave and strew his bones about the street, for not leaving him some money. Had heard him say that Lord John Russell and the Duke of Wellington were dead. Once he told a woman that a Mr. Daniels had dropped down dead. He after wards said to witness, " Oh, won't his old woman be in a way when she is told of it."—(Laughter.) On ce asked him if he was going to the meeting at Kenning ton-common, telling him at the same time that he was. Witness said he was not. Powell replide," Then you a re not a man — l am going armed. Get an old knife and grind it, and stick into the belly of the first police man that interferes with you—he will not annoy you again." Charles Goodfellow, a tailor, working in Love-court, Old Jewry, deposed that he was a Chartist, but had not been connected with any Chartist associations for more than five years. Recollected seeing Powell during the Chartist agitation in 1839. Saw him on the 15th of August at the Coach and Horses, Holborn. He and another man came in whilst I was sitting there. He nodded to me, and then came across and inquired, " Have you any work now?" Witness said, " Ihe had not." He said be wanted some clothes made, as he and another man were going to Australia. He gave him 2s. 6d., and engaged him to come and measure him, and to receive the mo ne y for the cloth at the Orange Tree, the next evening between five and six o'clock, the night the arrests took plce. Went there at half-past five. Saw the police runni a ng across Red Lion-square. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Did not go in, b ecau se the police got in before him , a nd c l o sed the door. Powell had not appointed to meet him outside, but inside. Went to a public meeting in Dean. street, and from what he ascertained there, he became convinced that Powell had laid this trap for him. When he went home he wrote a letter, which he had since destroyed, stating why he went to the Orange Tree, in case he should be arrested, and in order to show that ho was convinced. Saw Cuffey outside the meeting in Dean-street on the 16th. Did not see him lock the door Did not speak to him. At a meeting at Cart wright's, three weeks before the arrests, he got up, and asked if their objects were peaceable and constitutional, and he was immediately cried down by Powell and some others, who acted with him. Powell said be was a " —.a.- moral-force coward." William John Garrett, a shoemaker, said that he was a Chartist. Proved that a man named Barrett had showed him two pistols, and that he had been engaged in making ball-cartridges all day. In cross-axamination the witness admitted having been at Kennington-common on the 10th of April, and going in procession from Holborn. The name of his class leader was Taprell. He had before that read bills, stat ing that walking in procession through the streets was unlawful. The police prevented him and some friends passing over Westminster -bridge. A person named Savage was also a class leader. Davis, the third approver, was here re-called. (The trial was proceeding then our report left.) Manila, July 3, 1848 Sir,—Enclosed we have to hand you a copy of a sir. cular issued by the Superintendent of the Philippine Islands, announcing the suppression, for three years from the Ist of January, 1849, of the tonnage dues and export duties on stores hitherto paid by the whaling vessels visiting this port.

" Manila, June 27 184 g." a rate, owing to the prevailing distress, was-with much difficulty collected. Other members of the deputation having stated their views on the subject, the commis sioners admitted the unfortunate position in which the parishes were placed, at the same time they contended that circumstances had become so altered as to render an increase of the police force necessary. They corrected an error which the Marylebone Vestry and the other parishes had fallen into, that in additisu to every 6d. in the pound assessed on the parishes within the police district, they had 2d. in the pound from the Conseil • dated Fund. Such was not the fact. The sum allowed from the Consolidated Fund being 60,000/. and no more. It was, therefore, an error to suppose the additional in- Crease would be 48,0001. Although time would be given they could bold out no hope of a remission of the demand. The deputation then retired. SUICIDE IN THE PUBLIC STREET.•—LIILSt night Mr. William Payne, the City coroner, held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of William Lockie, aged 72, a carpenter, of 12, Plough-court, Fetter lane, who committed suicide by shooting himself in the public street. Rebecca Seekings , of 24, Fetter-lane, said that on Friday night last, about eight o'clock, her attention was directed to the corner of New Victoria street, Holborn, by hearing a noise like the discharge of fireworks, and upon looking in . the direction, she saw the deceased lying on the ground, with a pistol at hie side, and bleeding from his mouth. lie was picked up, and conveyed to the above hospital. Mr. H. Skipper, of 20, Gray's-inn-lane, said that he bad known the de , ceased about twenty years. He was very sober in his I habits, and witness considered he was his a man of strong mind. On Thursday last he packed up clothes a parcel, which he took to the Parcels Delivery Company, directed to his brother in Scotland. On that day he told witness that he felt so ill, that he did not think any of his family would see him again alive. He bad of late been very low spirited and unwell. Mr. Thomas Jackson, one of the house surgeons, proved the deceased expired on Wednesday last, from the effects of` the in jury received. He found a ball at the base of the skull. —Verdict, " Temporary insanity." THE PLANET SATURN.—The planet Saturn may now be seen every evening about eight o'clock, nearly south-east, but as its distance from the sun is 906,000,000 of miles, it requires a telescope of not less than 250 power to observe it with any degree of accu racy. Its immense rings are now invisible, as they are supposed to be not more than 100 miles in thickness, the edge being now presented to our earth, but a broad shadow of the ring is distinctly seen across the planet; there are likewise several belts faintly seen towards the north and south pole. Several of its satellites may like wise be seen with a telescope of 250 power, particularly its largest moon, which is now very distinct. TRANSSHIPMENT OF MERCHANDIEE.—A communi cation, dated from the Spanish C onsu l ate, London, 27th of September, 1848, has been made to the Secreta r y at Lloyd's, to the effect that the Spanish Government, in conformity with the opinion of the Sanitary Council, and of the Director-General of Customs and Tariffs, has been pleased to command that every vessel found in the same state as the brig Herby shall be permitted to transship the whole or part of her cargo, on condition that no mercantile transaction shall intervene in the process, and that the vessel shall be in an unfit state, through damages, to convey her cargo to the proper lazzare to. According to a letter of the 16th from Breslau, for some time past large quantities of muskets have been conveyed by the railway from Liege, in Belgium, des tined for different parts of Hungary. The number which had already passed through Breslau is estimated at 30,000. Considerable quantities of scythes are also said to have been transported from the north of Silesia to Cracow, and other towns of Austrian Galicia. IRIDIUM ORE.—An importation having recently taken place, by a vessel from France, of iridium ore, a question has arisen as to its liability to duty, it having been retained by the officers of the revenue as liable to the rated duty as an extract, of ss. per lb. THE HERO OB A HUNDRED STATUES.--Another statue of the Duke of Wellington is to be put up in the Tower, and in fact, London is becoming a sort of livery stable, where the Hero of Waterloo and his horse are being constantly put up. The Duke's head will soon be as familiar an object in the metropolis as the top of the monument or the dome of St. Paul's. The plume of his helmet has already begun to take its place among the established London weathercocks; and, as to his nose, there is scarcely a bridge on this side of Westminster that is half so conspicuous. There is hardly a street where the Duke of Wellington may not be seen looking in at the top windows, or inhaling the smoke from the chimneys, or preparing to take a gentle trot over the tiles. As to poor Nelson, the Duke of York, and the two or three others scattered about town, they are com pletely lost in the crowd of Dukes of Wellington, who are beginning almost to jostle each other at every turn.

Each of us had his army of friends and of clients as they had of old in Rome during the times of the civil wars. On certain nights, and under certain circumstances, the Hotel of Foreign Affairs was transformed into a camp. In case of attack, Sobrier placed himself at the disposal of my political friends. He had, according to his own account, between five and six hundred men devoted to him, who would hasten to an appointed rendezvous at the first signal. We were then, be it remembered, in a state of legiti mate defence, for in our persons we defended both order and society. It is a good time truly to discover scruples as to the legality of placing a few arms at the disposal of citizens without title, when we had a dic tatorial Government, four hundred thousand men at the gates, and the law in our hands Some time previous to the election I ceased to have any further communication with Sobrier. He displayed in his journal the list of candidates adopted by the Reforme and the Luxembourg, from which catalngue my name was excluded, and which com prised only the workmen of the Luxembourg and some names of political men of another colour than mine, General Courtais afterwards came to inform me that Sobrier held an armed club in the Rue Rivoli, and he entreated me to use my former influence over him for the purpose of persuading him to dissolve thiS'elub, without which eventuality we should be compelled to disperse it by violence. I did as he desired. Sobrier, however, followed this advice too slowly. Since that occasion I have had no rela tion whatever with Sobrier. I learnt that his name had become an object of exaggerated terror in Paris Until the morrow of the 16th of May I heard nothing further respecting him, when upon that occurrence he was conducted to Vincennes. Behold the whole of my complicity with Sobrier ! It is the complicity of reason with excess, of calmness in thought, with the whirl of opinions! Many are astonished that I should have had inter views with men who appeared only yesterday from the midst of the public dangers, and who were then in sorhe measure a means towards the restoration of safety and tranquillity. I reply as I have already re plied in the tribune of the National Assembly, al though in somewhat different language—" What ! Citizens!

DLFENC (Continued from 7he Sun of Wednesday.) TENTH ACCUSATION. I have held relations with Sobrier, with Blanqui, with Cabet, with Raspail, with Barbes, with De Flotte (the naval lieutenant), and with several other men who have since been accused of conspiracy or of treason against the National Assembly. It is true. These relations which they have charged upon me as a crime, constitute, in fact, one of the principal titles through which I lay claim to the approbation of all good citizens, for having aided them, in this manner, with all my efforts, to traverse, without catastrophe, the most difficult and perilous days of a revolution. The explanation of those mysteries is discoverable in the date of the different occurrences. It is not since the meeting of the Na tional Assembly that I have had these interviews with the accused; it is during the first days which followed the Revolution of February ; it is during those times, when there was no other authority at Paris except the individual authority of some men powerful in agitating, or in appeasing the multitude. I should have fallen short in all the duties which the extremity of circumstances imposed upon me, if I had neglected to see, and to influence in a loyal manner, through the medium of the most intimate political conversations, if I had failed to en deavour to rally around the honest, moderate, prac tical, and constitutional Republic, those men who were capable of aiding in its loss or in its salvation. I should wish, for the sake of these men, who were then well-intentioned, and for the sake also of my own character, that my accusers had been present a these interviews, and had listened to these converse tions. There was nothing in any one of them which was not in quittance of all their acts and of all their thoughts at the moment. These men aided, they did not impede, the action of the Government. The at tempts in which they have since been either impli cated or convicted, and their actual situation at the present moment as parties accused, will not render me unjust towards them. For the rest, behold the history of these relations, wholly unnatural though they may at the first moment appear. .1 had been fortunate enough to save the life of BARBEE under the last Government. The return of a favour like this to those who are absent is better than the remembrance of a life which has been saved, when that remembrance is numbered among the consolations of exile. On emerging from his prison Barbes at once came to me to offer an expression of his grati tude. I persuaded him to employ the authority which his long exile had given him over his party to restrain that party within the limits of a Republic which was in reality the organization and not the subversion of society. I found him ready to enter into these' engagements. He, as well as Sobrier, displayed remarkable courage on the 17th of March at the Hotel de Ville. Subsequently Barbes began insensibly to alienate himself from me, and to with draw from any participation in my operations. He deserved at least to be regretted. DE FLOTTE and several of his friends possessed con siderable influence over the clubs. They sought at that time to avail themselves of the power arising from these reunions in order to protest against the convocation of the National Assembly. Then it was that I convinced the leaders of the clubs that the nation alone could impart strength to the Republic. I found more moderation among these men than their names would have led me to conjecture. Rasram addressed me in the language of one who was fascinated rather by theories than by sedition His opinions seemed to be,conscientiously entertained. He endeavoured, in his journal and in his Club, to ameliorate the character of the Revolution, and the manners of the Republic. CADET I had known during a long period. His speculations were rather dreams than conspiracies , The forgetfulness which he has evinced in responding to a generous proceeding by an act of passion, shall not render me in return his accuser. He will labour in vain to deteriorate the soul of the people and to exasperate the Republic. BLANctur came one morning to deliver himself up to me voluntarily at the very time when it was pre tended that he was striving to compass my overthrow and my assassination. I then conversed with him jocosely ; for I can never credit the notion of poignards creeping into the hands of those whose souls can wield the weapons of intellect. Blanqui inspired me with mere interest then alarm. In him was re cognised one of those natures which are overcharged with the electricity of the times—men who experience a craving for ceaseless commotions, as the only means of acquiring consolation. He had the disease of revolutions. Of this fact he himself was perfectly conscious. His physiognomy was marked by the traces of prolonged sufferings, both moral and physical ; but those vestiges of misfortune bore the character of sadness rather than of evil passions. llis manner of talking was peculiar for its delicacy. His spirit had considerable expansion. He seemed to me like a man adrift in chaos, who appeared to.be search' ing vigilantly for a gleam of light, or for a path along which he might grope his way across the vast ness of the surrounding confusion. Had I possessed the opportunity of seeing him more frequently, I should not have despaired of his becoming at last most useful to the well- being of the Republic. As it was, I only saw him once. In reference to SORRIER, behold the occasion of our interview I Among his acquaintances was a young man, whom I already k new to be a sincere Repub lican of the old school. This young man introduced Sobrier to me on the 27th of February. Sobrier claimed the office of the Prefecture of Police, in the name of the people, who, according to his ac count, had nominated him to the discharge of those functions. lin formed him that the Provisional Go• vernment had already selected another Republican, and that the Republic should not, for any reason whatever, commence its existence by giving itself to anarchy in naming two administrators to one branch of administration. Sobrier left me in dudgeon. Some time afterwards I learnt that he was a young man of an honourable family in Dauphine, the pos sessor of an ample fortune, which he employed in alleviating the miseries of his neighbourhood; that his head, heated with enthusiasm, was inflamed by all the winds of democracy ; that he associated and min gled together religious ideas and revolutionary ideas ; that his political optimism rendered his ideas conta gious with the multitude ; that he excited the popu lace with facility, and that he unconsciously directed them to evil. I desired to see him, and my wish was frequently gratified. He was the inspiration of a club, and the editor of a journal called the Commune de Paris. My ideas and my candour appeared to exercise a powerful attraction over his intellect. He laboured loyally and disinterestedly to propagate the regular Republic among his associates. He fought courageously against the dictatorship on the 17th of March, and declared himself definitively for the sovereignty of the National Assembly. " But, it is said, he afterwards opened at No. 16, in the Rue de Itivoli, I know not what den of armed demagogues, and you yourself caused him to be supplied with arms by the Minister of War." This charge, so often adduced against me, is altogether false. Behold the first sen tence of a note which Sobrier remitted to me whru I was seated upon my bench in the National Assem bly, at the very moment when the search was under discussion :—" Citizen ! Caussidiere, in his deposition, says that he forwarded to me two hundred muskets in compliance with a letter under your signature. This is altogether a misstatement.

VAUXHALL -GARDENS.--The season at this place will be terminated this evening, whea -the leseee of the premises, Mr. Wardell, will take his benefit. A long list of entertainments is announced in the bills, and the price of admission is so moderate that the public may see Mr. Pell and his Africans, Juba, &c., Mr. Van Am burgh, and his lions, Mdlle. Macarte and her equestrian feats, the " Petite Ryan," and five juvenile dances in the ballet of Coquina, living statues from the antique by Mr. Day, fireworks, &c., for almost nothing. It is to be hoped that Mr. Warell will be supported by publio patronage as he has laboured most zealously for publio lamusement during a long, and for many weeks a most arduous season. The amusements at Vauxhall have never been better arranged than during the summer of this year, but the weather has been most unpropitious, and consequently the profits to the lessee have been far below what was expected. EXTENT OF THE CREATION.-010 system, great and wonderful as it is, is a mere speck compared with the real extent of the creation. Satisfactory evidence exists, that every star which twinkles in the firmament is uo other than a sun, a world of light surrounded by its own attendant planets, formed into a system similar to ours. Forty-five thousand such stars have been counted by the aid of the Herschelian telescope in so small a part of the heavens, that, supposing this part to be sown no thicker than the rest, the same telescope would reach at least 75,000,000 in the whole sphere. By means of new improvements in the same optical instrument, they have been found to be numerous to a degree still more astonishing. Every one of these is, in my view, rationally concluded to be the sun and centre of a system of planetary worlds. Beyond this, I think s it not at all improbable that were we transported to the most distant of the visible stars we should find there a firmament ex panding over our heads, studded in the same manner with stars innumerable. Nay, were we to repeat the same flight, and be again wafted through the same dis tance, it is not improbable that we should behold a new repetition of the same sublimity and glory. In this manner immensity appears, in a sense, to be peopled with worlds innumerable, constituting the boundless empirse of Jehovah. How amazing; then, mat be the power and greatness of Him who not only " telletb the number the stars, and calleth them by their names," but with word spoke them all into being!— The Christian itness. CANAL AROUND THE FALLS OP ST. MAIM—The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says that this effort k i tt e t u c o b n e n e t e n t a i d n e g I l i o n r k i the n s i t e ; a n t t a , r r vli t a o l ti n e n o i l c i i c i t h h t i h i s e a n g great re h a a t s w c o h r ai chain of lakes. Mr. Feleh, sub mitted. a report from the committee on ' public . lands, to which had been previously referred a petition of B. Dibble, George C. Bates, and other citiz-ns of Detroit, asking for the right of way and grant of hind to aid in the constr u cti on o f a ship canal around the falls, and the joint resolutions of the Legislature of Michigan in rela tion to the same. The report recommends the cession of the right of way asked for, and the grant of 200,000 acres of land to aid in the construction of the canal. What action Congress will finally take upon this subject remains to be seen. This subject is of national import ance. A great trade is destined to come from Lake Supe rior, and the work should be commenced and completed with the least possible delay.
