ITONEI MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. .Firnines s in the rat e o f di scoun t ou t o f d oors is still perceptible, and 7 per cent. is again the lowest quotation for the best bills. A scarcity of money stock in the hands of bankers and brokers is the Principal cause of the stringency experienced in the r ates, but the demand for accommodation is only of a moderate character. The Ottoman Financial Association have made a call o f £5 per shire, payable on Thursday, the 30th I nst., at the London and County Bank, Lombard street. It transpired yesterday afternoon that Messrs. Lime- street, and Fra n kl yn, comm i ss i on merc h ants, o f Lime- street, and 2, East India-avenue, had sus pended pay ment. Nothing has yet transpired with espect t o the liabilities or assets of the firm. It is b elieved, th a t the house conducted a large business, "Ititlias lately ex t en d e d i ts transactions by purchas ing cotton goods, &c., for the Parisian market. A meeting of creditors is to take place next Friday. The bullion taken into the Bank comprised the am o unt of £232 ,000 i n bar gold, and 8,000 sove gns recently arr i ve d f rom Li s b on.

This was a suit instituted to try the validity of a will alleged to have been duly executed by a Mr. Clowes, who had been in the iron trade in Manchester, and who died on the 9th of April last. The instrument was propounded by the plaintiff, Mary Clowes, the widow of the deceased, and was disputed by his brother, who pleaded undue exe cution, want of testamentary capacity. _ Dr. Spinks was for the plaintiff, and Mr : Brown for the defendant. It appeared that the deceased was a man of intemperate habits, and had boon subject to attacks of delirium tremens. On the Bth of April he executed the will in dispute, but he was too ill to he able to write his name, and substituted a cross. The will was a lithographed form, and was alleged to have been duly witnessed. It was made in favour of the kr. John Walsh, a surgeon, of Oldham-street, Manches ter, said that ho attended the deceased in his last illness. He was first called in on the 31st March last, and found him suffering from a wound in the knee and symptoms of inci pient delirium tremens. Ile also noticed ho spat a great deal, which sometimes accompanied mania. On the 2d of April he because much worse and did not know witness, but on the sth ho was quite conscious. As he had seen many cases when dilirium returned rapidly he advised the plaintiff to induce the deceased to settle his affairs. She was in and out of the house but not in actual attendance, and he heard the latter say that the wound in his knee was caused by her throwing something at him. The de ceased was about fifty. She knew that ho was in the habit of drinking a good deal. Mr. Clowes, the plaintiff, said that the deceased always stated that he would leave her whatever he possessed at his death if she survived him. The names in the will were written in pencil, and she saw the deceased make his cross. About two or three hours afterwards he became uncon scious, and she believed no person was in the room with him from the time of signing the will and the time when she found him unconscious. The defendant came into the bedroom and caused the deceased some annoyance by say ing that the will should have been signed in his presence. The court decided that the will was genuine, and it was accordingly admitted to probate. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) HAT CLUBS-IMPORTANT DECISION.-EFFLEWHITE V. JAMES. This was an action to recover 10s. 6d., money paid to the defendant on account of a certain hat. Plaintiff deposed • that he had been commissioned by a Mr. Molyneux to subscribe various small sums of money to a hat club, of which the defendant was the manager. The gross price was 108. Gd., and this sum had been paid, but plaintiff could not get the hat. Defendant did not deny that the money had been paid, but urged that it was a club in which the members took chances, and he (defendant) had supplied already hats to a greater value than the amount of the subscriptions at present paid in. There were now no funds, but as soon as the money was sub scribed the plaintiff would have the hat. His Honour was of opinion that the club was nothing more than a lottery, and as such illegal. In fact, it was what was known a hundred years ago as a " little go." Defendant said that plaintiff was not the person who first paid the money. Plaintiff admitted it. He paid Bs. for his friend Smith, his friend's money, but the last 2s. 6d. was plaintiff's own money. His friend was now dead. His Honour ruled that plaintiff could not sue in his own name for the money, so far as his late friend was concerned, and unless defendant consented to have the name altered a fresh summons must be taken for the Bs. Defendant said he would stand upon his legal rights. His Honour remarked that plaintiff must sue for the Bs. in the name of the widow of his friend, and for his own 2s. 6d. in his own, the opinion of tho court being that all these clubs were nothing but lotteries, and as such illegal. Plaintiff nonsuited. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day. (Before the Assistant Judge.) Mary Binks and Susan Reed were placed at the bar, in dicted, the former with receiving and the latter with steal ing a quantity of wearing apparel and other articles, the property of Thomas West. It appeared that the prisoner Binks was a fortune-teller, and the younger prisoner, Reed, a domestic servant. The property was taken away at different times, in order to comply with the charm of the fortune-teller, and left in her possession on the understanding they were to be restored. Such, however, was not the case, and the articles were taken to the pawnbroker's and there pledged ; and when once the simple-minded Reed was in the power of the for tune-teller, she was afraid to disobey the injunctions of Binks, which of course increased in amount. The rob bery was discovered by Reed's mistress on her return from the country, and both were given into custody. The pri soner Reed received a very excellent character. The Assistant Judge commented upon the foolishness of the younger prisoner, and sentened her to three months' imprisonment. Dinh° ho orrinrerl to be hoprioonott In the House of Correction for two years with hard labour. M ary Ann Brown, milliner, was indicted for stealing a watch from the person of Alexander Culverhouse. The prisoner pleaded guilty. It appeared that she had but three days before the robbery left the House of Correction, where she had been impri soned for 18 months. Several previous convictions wore proved against her. The Assistant Judge said it was useless to attompt refor mation by short imprisonment, he therefore sentenced her to seven years' transportation. Elizabeth Mullins pleaded guilty to a charge of robbing a tradesman. She was sentenced to two years' imprison ment. Louisa Miller was indicted for stealing 50 yards of flan nel, the property of Thomas Hooper. The prisoner pleaded guilty, but several former convic tions were proved against her, and she was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. After sentence, the prisoner said she could not find fault with it, because she had often had a piece of tho same sort of stuff from Hooper's place before. John Potter, an elderly man, was indicted for molesting two young girls. The evidence was not of a very clear discription, and Mr. Sleigh, who prosecuted, eventually withdrew the charge against the prisoner, and the jury accordingly returned a verdict of not guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A RUFFIAN PROPERLY PITNISHED.—COMMITTAL WITH OUT A FlNE.—Richard Smith, a bootmaker, living at No. 29, St. Martin's-court, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers of the court, charged with assaulting .a young woman, named Elizabeth Pattenden. The complainant, who had a bad black eye, said she had lived with the defendant for four years. About 2 o'clock in the morning of Tuesday last he came home and asked for his supper. She told him there was some upstairs, and he then struck her on the forehead, and said he would smash and murder her. He afterwards struck her in the face and blackened her eye. She ran into the cellar to escape from his violence, but he got a light and found her. She tried to escape from the place, but was unable to do so, and he then struck her several times about the body. He had frequently beat her before. Mr. Caries Ward, a lodger in the house, said he was awakened by hearing cries of " Murder !" He got up and heard the sound of blows, and found the complainant, who said she had been ill-used, her eye being much swollen, crying. His wife then took the compainant into their room for protection. The complainant was a hard-working woman, and went out to work to support the home. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he looked upon the defendant as a brutal fellow, and ha should commit him for six weeks with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. DESPERATE GAROTTE ROBBERY.--John Green, well known to the police, was charged with being concerned, with one William M'Cormack (remanded till next Tues day), in a garotte robbery, and stealing from the person of John Page a watch and chain. The facts of the case, as detailed on Monday, are briefly these :—On Sunday night, at half-past 11 o'clock, the pro secutor was in George-street, Chelsea„ rather the worse for drink, when he was attacked by M'Cormack and another man. M'Cormack put his arm round his neck and held him tight while the other man ransacked his pockets and took his watch and chain. lie relieved himself from M'Cormack, who escaped, and having called for assist ance, two or three tradesmen came io his assistance, and they secured the man who took the watch and chain. John Benson, 345 B, came np, and the man was given into custody, and the watch found in the road. 'On the road to the station M'Cormack came up and threatened to fight the prosecutor, and then he was identified as the man who held the prosecutor while the other robbed him, and taken into custody. A man then ran between Benson and his prisoner, and they were separated, and while Benson was running after his man he came in contact with a police sergeant, was knocked down, and lost the prisoner. The prisoner, John Green, was now identified by Page as the man who took the watch and chain. The prisoner cross-examined him to show that they were in company that night drunk, but failed to elicit any thing in his favour. Ile was remanded till next Tuesday. THAMES STEALING GEESE. - James Wilson, a stout, able-bodied man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing three geese, the property of Mr. Henry Townsend, a beer seller, of No. 111, High-street, Poplar. Mr. Townsend said his brother had lately sent him some very fine Suffolk geese and ducks from Ipswich. He de posited them under the tap-room, fenced in by a wall six feet high. Yesterday the prisoner was in the tap-room from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until half-past 11 o'clock, S and he then left and wished him good night. At half-past 1 o'clock this morning he was aroused from his sleep by a police constable, and missed three live geese. They were on the pavement and had been killed. The prisoner was in the yard 10 minutes in the course of the day, and knew where the geese and ducks were deposited. George Wood, an inspector of police, Thames division, saw three geese suspended by a clothes line to the prose cutor's wall, this morning at half-past 1 o'clock. The cord was made fast to something on the other side of the wall. Ho saw the prisoner in the street, and sent a policeman to secure him. The prisoner's clothes were covered with down, and his knees with wood dust, as if ho had been kneeling in the place where the geoso and ducks were deposited. The prisoner's hands were also covered with down. The geese had been recently killed. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE.

' It very often happens that the wits and belles who shine in society leave little behind them to explain to their successors the high esteem which they en joy among their contemporaries. The puns and bons mots, which are all that remain to us of some who were in their day the acknowledged ornaments of a brilliant circle, scarcely suffice to account for their reputation. We Inuit remember that the draught which effervesces the most 'rapidly and • sparkles the most brightly is also that which, when the moment has gone by, grows the sooner flat and tasteless; and so the qualities which shine in society are not generally those which leave enduring traces, nor do they always accompany sound intellectual power, though not necessarily apart from it. The adjuncts of the social scene, too, are necessary to preserve the flavour of the jest or the repartee. Spoken amidst song and laughter among congenial spirits, and suited to the mirth or the temper of the moment, they are very different when resuscitated in old print for a solitary reader. Still when one of these social ornaments chooses to sketch for him or herself the society in which they mingle, the events of their time, and the impressions made on their circle, the result is always entertaining. Miss Burney's Diary is now more popular than her " Evelina," and such pictures of our earlier social life and man ners became, as has been justly said, a part of his tory. Miss Berry, whose recently published jour nal of correspondence forms the subject of the first article in the Edinburgh, was one of the most bril liant and popular members of a brilliant circle, " From the age of seventeen or eighteen to that of nearly ninety," says her accomplished editress, " Miss Berry and her sister Agnes lived constantly in society both at home and abroad. They had seen Marie Antoinette in all her pride and beauty, and they lived to regret the fall of Louis-Philippe. Born in the third year after the accession of George 111., Miss Berry lived to be privately presented to Queen Victoria a few months before her death." During this prolonged and eventful period Miss Berry had ample opportunities of becoming ac quainted with the celebrities of several successive epochs, and was admired and sought by all in turn. "It was they who sought her, not she them. The Iron Duke grows talkative when acci dentally seated by her at a dinner table ; Lord Byron lays himself out to please her ; Joanna Baillie is grateful for her critical approval ; Canova approaches her with the strongest expres sions •f affection and esteem ; the Princess of Wales (Queen Caroline) tries hard for the cover of her respectability ; Sydney Smith looks over one of her proposed publications and Mackintosh another ; Madame Recamier eagerly solicits her friendship; and Madame de Stael, after some preliminary coquetting and caprice, declares that she had loved her the best, and thought her by far the cleverest woman in England." " Life in the Criminal Class" is the title of an essay founded principally upon Miss Carpenter's volumes, and on the " Memoirs of Jane Cameron," by a Prison Matron. The writer reviews very fully and carefully the painful and difficult problem of our criminal class, and leads us to hope, after a survey of what has been done and what is now doing, that the number of the regular convict class may steadily diminish. Too much praise cannot be given to the reformatory and industrial school movement, which affords the means of rescue to so many young offenders, who under the old system had, humanly speaking, no chance. The writer of this article, while recommending an increase of discipline in all convict prisons, and very properly censuring the system of allowing prisoners to choose their own work, strongly supports the suggestion of a separate prison for absolute incorri gibles under sentence of imprisonment for life. " These wretches," he says, " have no business in prisons where reformation is the principle and the rule ; they need a different discipline, and their presence is a curse, to which we have no right to expose more hopeful subjects." He argues that the companionship and influence of these men neutralise to a great extent the efforts made in other quarters for the reformation of the offenders. The cessation of transportation renders some consideration of this matter absolutely imperative, and it is very desir able that a classification of the inmates of our prisons should be attempted. " The Life of Carl Maria von Weber" is a deeply interesting, though in some respects a painful, record. The composer of " Der Freischutz" had his full share of those troubles from which the great artist is seldom exempt, and which, unhappily, as in his case, are too often aggravated by his own over-sensitiveness -and" nervous irrita bility. " Weber's lot," says the critic of his recently published memoir by his son, " was cast in such wise that his path in life was perpetually crossed by remarkable events, and tinged with a peculiar colouring of romance. The story of his early years reads like a series of chapters from the adventures of a German Gil Blas, and the romance of his life lies in regions of society almost entirely distinct from the interesting sphere of art with which his name is connected." Artistic struggles and disputes were, however, a primary source of his vexations. The rivalry between the German and Italian schools of music was then at its height, and Weber at once assumed the position of champion of the national cause. lie threw himself into it with characteristic fervour, and sustained it with a genius which his enemies were forced to acknowledge and admire. But when we find that his grief at his friend Meyer-. beer's temporary devotion to the Italian cause actu ally laid him on a bed of sickness, and that he looked with undisguised contempt 'on Rossini's ex quisite melodies, we cannot but feel that the great and gifted composer allowed his prejudice to warp his judgment. In the excited state of party feeling the production of " Der Freischutz" was consi dered a most important crisis. We need not say that, in spite of the presence of a formidable opposition, it was a complete and unparalleled tri umph for the German cause. The adversaries themselves were carried away into temporary enthu siasm. It was Weber's chef d'oeuvre, though, as so often happens, he did not himself appreciate its merits, and preferred the " Euryanthe." " The Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland" turns back a painful page in Irish history. In explanation of the failure of the stern Protector's tyrannical scheme the writer remarks—" The Cromwellian plantation was founded upon the ruthless proscription of a whole nation, and it is a well-known political axiom that no measures can ever finally succeed in which the interests of all classes are not in some way con sulted." The account given of the Cromwellian policy and its results is not without interest at this juncture. An article on " American Psycho mancy " gives us an extraordinary illustration of the close alliance which there is between mate rialism and superstition, since it is confidently asserted of the " cute" Yankees, that " half the members of Congress and the State Legislatures, as well as half the scientific and literary men of America, are Spiritualists." Since this statement originates with a Spiritualist association we must hope that it is considerably exaggerated ; but it is also said, with apparent authenticity, that every day lectures upon Spiritualism are given in presence of respectable audiences, that circles are held by day and night in nearly every city throughout the country, that twelve or fourteen perodicals are wholly devoted to Spiritualism, and, finally, that more than two mil lions of Americans have embraced the doctrines of the fanatic impostors whose careers are here chro nicled. If such statements be true, the physical evils from which America is now suffering are " trifles light as air" compared to the mental and moral dangers of the country which aspires to lead the world. Among the other articles are essays on Campbell's " Frost and Fire," on " The Rock-cut Temples of India," and on Sir Thomas Wyse's Peloponnesus." The Dublin Review. No. 10. The painful story of " The Massacre of Saint Bartholomew" occupies the first place in this num ber, and the readers of the Dublin will naturally turn with some curiosity to see how the question treated in the pages of a Catholic quarterly. The writer discusses the matter very fully and without prejudice. He says, there can be no doubt with truth, that the massacre owed its origin to poli tical rather than to religious reasons, and that right-minded Catholics in that, as in every suc ceeding age, must unhesitatingly condemn it. " The Case of Galileo" is one of those moot points in history about which, we fear, there will always be opposite opinions. " The Doctrinal Decrees of a Pontifical Congregation" are discussed at some length in an article which attaches much importance to the distinction between the Pope's offices as Infallible Teacher and Supreme Governor of the Church. An article on " The Formation of Christendom" traces the ancient city of the Canars as it was in the days of Rome's Imperial greatness, luxury, civilisation, and degradation. It quotes liberally from an interesting volume on this subject by Mr. Allies. " The Irish Land Question" is dis cussed at some length. The metaphysician will turn with interest to an essay entitled, " Calder wood and Mill upon Hamilton," which examines into the conflicting theories of our principal meta physical writers, including, of course, Mill, Grote, and Ferrier. Ordinary mortals will prefer to keep on terra firma, and will derive more pleasure from the copious summaries of foreign events, foreign periodical literature, and the notices of books. The Anthropological Review. Nos. 10. and 11 Triibncr and Co. This serial, which is also the Journal of the Anthropological Society of London, addresses itself principally to readers interested in the study of the science of race. It contains a good deal of valuable matter no doubt, though mixed with other matter less satisfactory to the calm and moderate student, who in his pursuit of knowledge is not prepared to rush into wild extremes, or to subscribe himself a freethinker. Is it not a little singular, by the way, that these advanced students, who are always ready with their denunciations of Christianity because professing Christians persecuted one another, burnt witches, permitted tortures, &c., contrary to their pro fession, tell us very little about the fact that heathen civilisation permitted and encouraged cruelty and vice in every form? Since Christianity, according to their reading, is undoubtedly the mainspring of all the intolerance and persecution of modern times, what was it,we wonder, that exiled Aristides and poisoned Socrates ? What was it that set the gladiators at work to " make a Roman holiday," and caused intellectual men and lovely women to look on smiling at the doomed procession, crying aloud to Caesar, " Morituri to salutant ?" It is an awkward fact, too, that the boasted morality of Confucius has not made his readers remarkable for morality, but the real searcher for truth will be glad to see every question of the kind thoroughly sifted and examined. The Journal of the Society contains full reports of some animated discussions, and the articles on British Sculptured Rocks, Pre-Historic Times, and the Psychonomy of the Hand, will interest the general reader. The Popular Science Review. No. 17. As usual, the contents of this quarterly journal are very valuable and interesting. They deal with questions which are every day presenting them serves to the mind of the intelligent observer in a manner that is at once clear and scientific. The writers bear most of them well-known names, and when we see articles on Atlantic Telegraphy and on Pure Water, bearing respectively the names of Robert Hunt and Dr. Lankester, we may be sure that the papers in question will tell us something worth knowing. For the geologist we have Professor Ansted on Lake Basins, and for the photographic amateur we have an article on Photography, and some of its applica tions, by the editor. There is'a paper on Epidemics and their origin, not uniustructive at this season, and an essay on no less a personage than the Moon herself, who has recently been sitting for her portrait to the übiquitous photographer. The Reviews and Scientific Summary include all the topics of scientific interest for the quarter, and we are heartily glad to see such interesting and useful knowledge placed so pleasantly within the popular grasp. Brigand Revelations in Southern Italy. NAPLES, Oct. 31. Some curious revelations upon the organisation of brigandage in the Neapolitan provinces, and the support and encouragement afforded to the system among the population, have been made at the trial of the brigand Giardullo and others before the Military Tribunal of Salerno. Antonio Malatea, alias Giardullo, the most dreaded leader of all the ferocious bands who so long desolated the Southern Italian provinces, is described as a robust well-made young man of about 28 years, very fair, and having regular and intelli gent features, rendered disagreeable, however, by the eyes, which are small, and betray a cruel and sinister expression. Giardullo was heard by the tribunal on the 19th inst., when he spoke uninter ruptedly for four hours, before a court crowded. from the moment of opening by an audience deeply interested in his revelations. His manner of speak ing was confident and rapid, though his language was rough and uncultivated, sometimes displaying coarseness and effrontery. He narrated that having been taken prisoner at Melazzo, where he served in the 7th Battalion of Bourbon Chasseurs, he was sent to Nocera. Released from custody, he returned to his birth-pla3e in Campagna, and sub sequently served, in 1861, after which he was dis missed with unlimited leave. In the autumn of the same year he was again called upon to serve, but was then ill. It was at this time that Giardullo, according to his narration, was secretly invited by some of his fellow-prisoners, residing in the Cam pagna, whom he pointed out with so much appa rent rancour, to a secret nocturnal meeting, at which he was instigated to take the field at the head of a band thathe was to assemble, and hold himself in readiness for an early political rising, for which object 5,000 ducats in gold was entrusted to him. With this encouragement Giardullo took to the moun tains, where he remained during the winter from 1861 to 1862, but could not succeed in rais ing a band. He provisionally, however, joined the band of one Meola, a brigand infesting Senerchia and Calabritto. Summoned in the spring of 1862 to return the 5,000 ducats, he faithfully restored them to those from whom ho received them. Fresh efforts were, however, made to enable him to keep in the field, and he was assured of a speedy revolu tion of the exact nature of which he was ignorant, but believed it would be Republican. It was re presented that 32 squadrons were in readiness to co-operate with him in the projected rising. These illusions, however, soon vanished, and his instiga tors in the Campagna, whom Giardullo pointed out amongst the other prisoners in court, then sug gested to him the pursuit of brigandage, and cap turing individuals and exacting ransom. In this way Giardullo, as h 3 represents, commenced that career of blood and rapine which has made his name terrible in the Neapolitan provinces. His supporters provided him with provisions, arms, clothing, and medicine ; advised him of the move ments of the troops ; concerted with him the vari ous captures and the ransoms to be demanded, and shared the proceeds. He narrated how many of the cruelties used towards prisoners were perpe trated at the instigation of his supporters, in order to overcome the reluctance of the friends of the victims to pay the enormous ransoms demanded. Here followed the sickening story of ears and fingers being cut off, and other cruelties. During the greater part of the four years of his brigand career Giardullo states that he was in the vicinity of Campagna, and was sometimes concealed in a grotto so near the town as to hear the clocks strike and the bugles of the military. During the night he visited the houses of his supporters in the town, where he found everything necessary for himself and band, gave an account of his operations, and received instructions and advice. At length, weary of a savage wandering life full of crime, he resolved to deliver himself up to the authorities, and on Easter Sunday approached the city with that inten tion, but was attacked and driven back by the troops. Finn, however, in his purpose, he kept within a short distance, hoping for a safe conduct to effect his surrender, but was discovered by the troops, attacked, and taken prisoner. In the above narration Giardullo appeared to be actuated throughout by the idea of presenting himself as the victim of evil instigations. He never confessed to any crime as having been committed on his own account, and said not a word of the many murders, outrages, and other ferocious acts which he has committed. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per milk pm., and e.Lunange on Lourtun 13 25.22 k per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £.l 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe...rs that gold is about 2:ltths per cent. dearer in Park than in London. By advicts from Hamburg the price of gold is 4:!8 per marl and the short exchange on London is 13.6, per .£1 surliu . Standard gold at the Engli-h Mint price is, therefore, at about the same price in London and Hamburg. Ptie oourse of exchange at New York on London for bills It 80 days' sight is 109 to 100} per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importadon of goad from the United States. LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—POBTRUSH, IRELAND, NOP. 6.—During a severe gale from the N.W. a few days since (reports the Rev. J. Simpson), the schooner Clara Brown, of Barrow, bound from Cardiff to Londonderry with a cargo of coals, made the Skerries Roads, off Port rush, but was unable to gain the proper anchorage, and dropped her anchors in a very perilous position, not far from where an ill-fated ship and her crew of six men were lost a year or two ago. The schooner was observed to ride heavily, and the lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was accordingly launched in a very heavy sea, went alongside the vessel, and brought the crew of four men safely ashore. The men were delighted to see the lifeboat, and eagerly availed themselves of her assistance. The lifeboat behaved admirably on the occasion. The vessel fortunately rode out the gale, and her crew took possession of her again the next day. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT ST. JAMES'S PALACE.— Last evening Mr. C. St. Clair Bedford, the West minster coroner, held a lengthened inquiry at the Vestry hall of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, relative to the death of George Moore, aged 21 years, a plumber. Charles White, a plumber's improver, said that on Thursday afternoon last he w a s employed with the deceased at St. James's Palace. Shortly after 1 o'clock the deceased went up a ladder to cross from one roof of the Palace to another, when, as it appeared, his hand slipped from the ladder being short for the copping stone, and he fell violently to the ground. The deceased had.a bag of tools over his left shoulder, and ap- Pe H rough e ar w e adstones.e quiteput u well a up the s ame l adder, and found it was difficult to got from i t intoand sober. The witness had often been to the copi ng . The deceased fell about 40 feet, on to the e was quite q uf andte insensible, conveyed sensfbland to Charing-cross neve r sPke. Hospital, where he was found to be dead. It was the duty of the clerk of the works to see to the ladder. He had never complained of the ladder. Thomas Dexter, also employed at St. James's Palace with the deceased on the day in question, gave corroborative testimony, and said he only accounted for the acoident by the shortness of the ladder. The deceased had let go his hold of the ladder when his head was up to the coping, and he immediately fell sideways into the courtyard. Nothing fell from the place. Mr. Cantrill, clerk of the works, residing at St. James's-palace, said the ladder had been in use 10 or 12 weeks. He had frequently used it, and no complaints were ever made. It was the largest ladder he had, but the contractors should supply the ladders. Mr. 0. W. Berry, house surgeon, of Charirg- Cross Hospital, said •the deceased was dead when he was admitted. There was a very severe fracture on the right side of the skull, which was quite sufficient to cause imme diate death. The brother of deceased said he had seen the ladder, and had no fault to find with it, although his poor brother had been killed from falling from it. The Coroner thought the statement very candid. Mr. Hutton, who appeared for the contractor, said the ladder was supplied by the clerk of the works, and he did not think the con tractors were liable if the ladder broke. The Coroner then summed up, and said that it was very evident the ques tion was between the contractor and the clerk of the works as to who was responsible forproviding the proper ladders. The jury then returned a verdict of " Accidental• Death," and recommended that in future the ladders should bo of sufficient length. The inquiry then terminated. HER MAJESTY'S STAGHOUNDS.—The regular hunting season of the royal pack commenced yes terday, the first turn out being, as is customary, at Salt hill, where there was a fashionable assemblage of ladies and gentlemen in carriages, besides numerous pedestrians, and between three hundred and four hundred horsemen, y he t i h r e h a u r n e t a e t r w s h es a t v e i rn n g ra b i e lw on ey b ; ro m u a g n h y t the to Slough officers e a r tr s odws o fno ClS G l i 'll a ig r th d h s bt were also present.

Another deer was afterwards turned out at Slough, which gave but a short run, and was taken in a pond at Stoke-park.

QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 3. The extra Inman steamer City of Manchester, from New York, arrived here at 12.55 p.m. to-day with 118 passengers. She landed 23 passengers, and proceeded at 1.10 p.m. for Liverpool. Movements of Cotton in America. Recent intelligence from Columbus, Ga., is to the effect that cotton sells there for 20 cents per pound, and in Goldsborough at 28 cents, in currency. _ _ A letter from Macon, Aliss., says :—" Very little cotton has been planted this year in tho prairies—perhaps enough to make seed for another crop. Memphis from all sources will hardly be furnished' with 50,000 bales next winter. The excessive and protracted drought has dimin ished the corn crop in many rich districts, by nearly one half. There will be, however, corn enough for local con sumption." Lowell's 33 cotton mills employ 948 males and 1,650 fomales, and last year produced $7,125,953 worth of fabrics ; two calico and muslin delaine mills employed 188 males and 11 females, and turned out $3,167,122 worth of fabrics ; five carpet mills employed 382 males and 573 fe males, and turned out $3,570,435 worth of carpeting. The most valuable cargo of cotton ever shipped from the United States was cleared from New Orleans for Liverpool, on the 30th Sept., by ship Emerald, 3,105 bales, worth $637,000. Although a previous vessel took 3,150 bales, the total weight was less and the value less by $47,000. Corrox IN TENNESSEE.—A very' fine staple has been raised in sections of Tennessee, but the quantity is not large. About seven or eight hundred bales from Georgia and Alabama also pass through there each week on their way North ; and notwithstanding the heroic determina tion of the Southern people to " live within themselves " hereafter, they aro exceedingly anxious to exchange cotton for articles of Northern manufacture. The supply, however, will be quite limited for soma years to come. If every cotton plantation were in the hands of Northerners to-day they would have at least 4,000,000 of bales in the market by the first of January, 1867. COTTON IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.—A gentle man whose judgment is reliable, and whose means for ob servation have been unusually good, writes as follows from the South : "Having now eirded a pretty extensive tour through the Cotton States, a sort of review of my observations upon the cotton question may not be without interest. In Lower Georgia and Northern Florida, and a part of South-Eastern Alabama, nearly all the cotton was in the country at the time of the surrender. In other portions of those States the larger part was destroyed at the time of Sherman's and Wilson's raids. Mississippi had been so thoroughly raided that there was compara tively little left, but she will probably make more cotton this year than all the other Gulf States together. The receipts of cotton at New Orleans from the Red River country are far below the general expectation, and the quantity planted this year is very small. In Texas af u average crop was no doubt planted, but the weather during the last month was very unfavourable for maturing it ; the army worm had made its appearance in several places, and was threatening serious damages, while the prospect for obtaining the labor necessary for securing the crop was very unfavorable. The amount of old cotton in th e St a t e at the surrender was much less than generally supposed, probably but little, if any, more than 100,000 bales. After a careful comparison of all the facts I have been able to gather, I should say that 1,500,000 bales old cotton would cover all that was in the South at the time of the sur render. Add to this say 400,000 bales—a liberal estimate —for crop of 1865, and you have all that may be expected for a year to come. It is too soon to speculate upon the prospects for the coming year, but 1 may remark, in a general way, that they are not very encouraging. A few planters are taking hold in earnest, and organising thei forces for putting in a crop next spring, but these cases are rare. There is yet time for great improvement, and it is to be hoped, for the good of the whole country, that the now dormant energies of this people may be awakened, and they be led to see that the future is full of promise of a rich reward for all their labour." LONDDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAIL WAY.—An adjourned meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday in the board-room, London-bridge terminus. Mr. James Scott presided. The chairman ex plained that the directors had intended to submit to the shareholders at that meeting resolutions for the transfer of the Wimbledon and Croydon line, but the agreement was not yet ready to be submitted to them, and he proposed that they should adjourn to that day four weeks. An ad journment accordingly took place to Tuesday, the sth of December. STRIKE OF IRONWORKERS.—Notwithstanding the threat of the masters, that if the men employed at the Middleton Ironworks struck, they would be locked out for twelve months, the men have struck. Some 400 have already left work, and others are to leave next Saturday. Both those at work and those on strike held a meeting last week, at which they resolved, " That it is the firm deter mination of this meeting not to go in until the masters agree to the nine hours' movement."—Birmingham Post. " Advices from Paris," says the Journal de Rouen, " inform us that the nomination of M. Blanche to the post of Secretary of the Prefecture of the Seine has caused some surprise in the Council of State, as not being quite in accordance with the usual hierarchical march. To leave the position of Councillor of State for that of Secretary of Prefec ture is to descend ; but such retrograde movements appear to be the fashion at ptrsent. M. Fremy, Councillor of State, offers himself as a candidate for the place of Deputy, and here M. Alfred Blanche accepts a post secondary to those he has already occupied. It may be, however, that the choice of the former Secretary of the Ministries of State and Marine is intended to announce the elevation, so often predicted, of the Prefecture of Paris to the rank of a Ministry." ted t° a, for con *let° udder - The Y r ' 00' 1 ° 3 when '~-. cii 10 100 1 100 100 100 all 100 100 190 100 100 1 , 0 100 100 68 7 1 lu ! 1021 10:1 EL
