ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday Closed very tamely, and, compared with Friday's Nes, prices of American have declined /d. per lb. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales (1,000 of Which were taken for export), comprising 100 ?ernam and Maranham at 7d. to 71d., 400 Egyp tian at 60. to 9d., and 1,200 Surat at 3/d. to 6 1d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was d ull, and closed with a downward tendency in Prices. There has been rather a larger business done this Week in Colonial Produce, though in some instances this has been stimulated by the lower prices sub rnitted to. Sugar, for instance, of most descrip tions, at 6d. per cwt. reduction, has been taken more freely. In coffee there has been more acti 'Vity as regards Plantation Ceylon, but full values h ave been supported. Rice has ruled dull ; and 1 4 tea, the public sales being announced for next ' w eek, not much has been done. For spices pre- N iells rates have mostly been - paid ; and cochineal h ag obtained ld. to 2d. per cwt. advance. Rum 'as been d ea lt i n a t late figures. Saltpetre has been rather dearer: In indigo the purchases have deferred as much as possible to the auctions, which commence on the 10th proximo. A slight im provement has taken place in tallow. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that the " m arket f or A mer i can S e curities continues active. li mited, tran sac ti on s in the State Stocks have been owing to the shortness of supply ; whilst 1 1 11 increased demand has aiisen for the various 4ailroad Bonds, at improved prices 111 1 4_ Redeemable.

BOW STREET (THIS DAY). FURTHER EXAMINATION OF MR. STRAHAN, SIR J. D. PAUL, AND MR. BATES. This morning Mr. William Stralian, Sir J. D. Paul, Bart., and Mr. Robert Meakin Bates, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Jardine, charged with unlawfully negotiating or otherwise disposing of certain deeds or other securities entrusted to them for safe keeping, Cloy being bankrupts. The position of the prisoners, and the enormity of the charge brought against them, has caused considerable sensation in the metropolis, and grek t interest was manifested by a large concourse of respectably•dressed persons who besieged the police court to obtain a sight of the prisoners, and hear the particu• lars of the charge. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Humphries appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Ballantine fur Sir J. D. Paul, Bart., and Mr. Straban ; and Mr. Parry for Mr. Bates. Mr. Bodkin said it had rarely been his lot to witness so melancholy a spectacle as the three prisoners at the bar presented by their appearance in that box—persons who but lately stood high in the respect of those who knew them, living in a style of luxury, and enjoying the unlimited confidence of those with whom they did business, but who, by their recent conduct, have betrayed the confidence reposed in them, and re duced themselves to the level of common felons, and subjected themselves to a charge the punishment for which, if proved, amounted to transportation for 14 years. He (Mr. Bodkin) appeared on the part of one of many who have suffered by the stoppage of the bat,k ing business which the prisoners carried on, but he was not there to complain of any deficiencies arising from a deficiency in the balance of an ordinary banking ac count, but to charge the prisoners, on the part of Dr. Griffith, with having about five or six weeks ago fraudulently, if not feloniously, converted about 22,0001. worth of securities, entrusted by him to them for safe keeping, to their own use. Fortunately for Dr. Grif- fith this act of the prisoners' had not entailed ruinous consequences on hiM, and he was able to discharge a public duty by prosecuting the prisoners in this case, which many who had been almost ruined by this un happy affair were unable to do ; and he felt also more bound to do it, because in this, and probably in other cases, as much confidence was placed in the honour and integrity of the prisoners as in the stability of the banking concern itself, Dr. Griffith, therefore, feeling it to be a public duty that he should prosecute in this instance, begged him to state on his behalf that nothing would induce him to swerve from that duty. It would be recollected by the hon. magi strate that in consequence of the application of Dr. Griffith a warrant was granted for the apprehension of the three prisoners. Strahan and Bates were taken into custody under that warrant. Sir J. D. Paul, who re sided at Reigate, and was there apprehended, afterwards effected his escape from custody. He should not enter into that now, as it would form the subject of inquiry else where, otherwise than to state that whatever motive actuated him in doing it, the fact of his surrendering last night made it appear less grave than it otherwise would. He should be in a position to prove that the securities in question were deposited from time to time with the prisoners, and he thought it would be idle on their parts to attempt to deny they had not been dealt with by the firm or some of the members in the fraudulent manner complained of. With regard to Mr. Strahan, he should be in a condition to prove that in the hope—vain as it turned out to be—of arresting the progress of these proceedings, he saw Dr Griffith on the day that gentleman made applica tion to the presiding magistrate to endeavour to induce him not to proceed further in the case, but Dr. Griffith informed him he did not feel himself at liberty to act on his own private opinion or feelings and withdraw from further proceedings. In the course of that conversation Mr. Strahan made a statement to Dr. Griffith, which appeared to him (Ur. Bodkin) morally conclusive of the charge made against the prisoners, which was that about six weeks ago these securities, which were tied up and marked in Dr. Griffith's name, and kept in a general receptacle for such matters, instead of in a box provided by Dr. Griffith for the purpose, were abstracted from that receptacle by himself and Sir John D. Paul, and were conveyed, he believed, with about 100,0001. worth of securities, to Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., or some such house, and made away with. Of course that statement made in the absence of Sir John D. Paul was not legal evidence against him ; and before be asked the hon. magistrate to send this case for trial, there would be inquires of a complicated nature to make, in order to trace these secu rities and bring the case clearly and specifically against the prisoners, which would necessitate a further remand. The course he proposed to take, then, was to examine Dr. Griffith with reference to Mr. Strahan's statements to him, and after that ask for a formal remand to Wednesday next, on which occasion he should renew his appliCation for another remand to the Wednesday following, by which time he hoped to have his evidence ready to proceed with the charge against the prisoners. Dr. John Griffith having been sworn was examined by Mr. Bodkin—He resided at Rochester. Had an ac count at Strahan's for about thirty years. He did not deposit his securities with his own hands, but the bank bad securities of his to the amount of 22,0001. A letter was here read from the prisoner Bates, ac knowledging the purchase of certain securities for the rev. gentleman to the amount of 30,000 florins. Examination continued—He had never given any authority to sell or dispose of the securities. Ho attended here yesterday, and on Wednesday afternoon he was called upon by Mr. Strahan. Some relatives of his had first seen him. Mrs. Griffith was present when he called. A. minute of the occasion which he had made stated that, not long after the departure of the gentle men, about half-past three— Mr. Bodkin—confine yourself, if you please, to the precise point. The rev. gentleman proceeded to read the minute, as ollows :—Mr. Strahan stated ho was surprised I could not btain any information about my securities at the brnk, for he and his partners were there ready to afford every information in their power—indeed they were day and night engaged in making up their accounts ; and they said if I took legal proceedings, there would be no one to wind up the affairs of the bank. He admitted I was quite justified in the course I had taken ; but he said, and repeatedly so, I was doing a great injury to the creditors at large and myself. He said that he had great expectations that he and Sir John Paul would, by and by, have money sufficient to redeem any securities, and that they had prepared notes of hand for me had I called upon thorn. Ho further told me, on inquiry, that my securities, with others, had been taken by Sir John and placed in the hands of Overend and Burnam, as I understood, and that with the knowledge and assent of Sir John ; that he (Hr. Straban) bad given them to Sir John, who took them to the city, and that he considered himself equally responsible for th e act. Mr. Bodkin—Are you sure, Dr. Griffith, that ho used the words " he consiiered himself responsible for the Dr. Griffith—Certainly. He further told me the secu rities he had deposited amounted to nearly 100,0001., but that my securities were by far the largest belonging to any ono person. He said that much kindness had been shown him by persons similarly situated as myself, and that ho hoped I would not continue the legal pro ceeding as I could get nothing by it. That was thepurpm t of his conversation. He knew, he said, the circum stances were serious for himself and his colleagues, and if they were put in prison there would be no one to bring the proceedings to a close. In reply I told him I was unwilling to aggravate his feelings, and assured him that I was not influenced by any vindictiveness to wards him or the other gentlemen, but that I felt bound on public grounds to proceed in the course I had adopted. I told him also, that having placed the matter in the hands of my solicitor, I could only refer him to him. On which het observed that, if he went to him, he would arrest him at once. Never theless, he asked me his name. I referred him to Mr. Fearon, George-street, City. I asked him particularly if my securities were placed in my box. He said they were not in the box, which the Times newspaper said was a wrong. He stated that they were kept with other securities in their strong room, w ith my name on those which belonged to me. Mr. Bodkin—Have yon caused any inquiries to be made with respect to these securities ? Dr. Griffith—l have. They have not been discovered or traced, to my knowledge. Mr. Jardine—Did Mr. Straban tell you when these securities were taken from the bank ? Dr. Griffith—Yes ; be said about six weeks ago. Mr. Ballantine— Did you, Dr. Griffith, ever have con trol over these securities Dr. Griffith—Since the year 1840 he never had any control over them. Mr. Ballantine—Did you know who purchased these securities ? Dr. Griffith—No. lie could not tell who purchased them as they had been accumulating for years. By Mr. Parry—He could only repeat what Mr. §tralaii 1014 Lim, 110 did not know that Mr, Bllitcts waa in Paris. Mr. Strahan told him that Mr. Bates was in Paris making arrangements, as the bank had lately sus tained serious losses. Mr. Ballantine said he did not intend to make any ob servations on the day's proceedings. Whatever was the situation of numerous parties owing to the unfor tunate circumstances of the bankrupts, he felt bound to state that Mr. Strahan entered the bank with 180,0001., all of which had been lost. With respect to Sir John Paul he was not authorised to make any observations. He had been in cus tody so short a period that sufficient time had not yet elapsed since the arrest to arrange the answer to the charge as far as be was concerned. His friend Mr. Parry ap peared for Mr. Bates ; and although there was a techni cal difference as far as he was concerned, yet they were all actuated by one common object—the benefit of the sufferers by the bankruptcy. He could not defend the gentlemen from the censure that was now freely passed upon them. It was a circumstance they deserved—it was an ordeal they were prepared to go through. It was the only way in which repentance could be obtained for the misery and suffering created amongst those who had placed the most implicit reliance in their integrity. Mr. Parry made a few observations on behalf of Mr. Bates, who, he said, was in a position to show be was engaged in the business of the bank in Paris at the time these securities were removed. Mr. Jardine then ordered the prisoners to be re manded unt►l next Wednesday. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

Accounts from the Bahamas by the West India steamer confirm the back ward character of the pine apple crop from want of rain. THE FINE ARTS AT TIVERTON.—One of the results of the Great Exhibition of 1851 has been the establish ment of local exhibitions of works of art in various parts of the country. Devonshire produced Reynolds, Eastlake, Hayden, Cousins, Cross, &c. ; and the expectations raised in the country, although some what sanguine, have not been disappointed by the exhibition recently opened at Tiverton. It is, per haps, the best which has yet been seen in any pro vincial town. There are four departments :-1. Archi tecture and Antiquities ; 2. Paintings, Statuary, and the Fine Arts ; 3. Trades ; 4. Natural History, Curiosities, and Philosophical Instruments. In the first there is a rare collection of Roman, Saxon, and British antiquities, dredged from the bottom of the Thames, and disinterred from various parts of England. There are also Grecian and Egyptian Ea rbles, bronzes, gold and silver plate, beautiful speci mens of carved oak, contributed by the Bishop of Exeter, and others, architectural drawings, MSS., The picture gallery contains about 300 paintings, com prising excellent specimens of some of the best modern artists. There are also some good paintings by Dutch, Italian, and Spanish artists of the old school. Of the statuary, "The Sleeping Child," by Chantrey, his second, if not his best work, contributed by Sir Thomas Acland, is, perhaps, the most remarkable in the collection. Stephens has sent some good busts and figures, and Joseph's bust of Wilberforce has also been sent by Sir Thomas Acland. The collection of engrav ings is interesting from its containing a series of Samuel Cousins's mezzotintos, from his earliest private plate upon Lawrence's picture of "Lady Acland," to his latest works. The trade department is a light and graceful building, erected for the occasion, and well filled with pottery textile and other manufactures from all parts of the kingdom, &c. To the fourth section, containing philo sophical instruments, a useful element of instruction is imparted, by gentlemen con nec t e d w i t h th e ex hibition devoting a portion of every day to explain and illustrate their various uses. THE QUEEN AT FORT PITT.—Her Majesty, when in specting the invalids at Fort Pitt, on Tuesday, was con ducted by Dr. Geo. Dartnell, P.M.O , to No. 6 wai d ) where a few extrem e cases prevented their appearing with their comrades in the charming gardens of that establishment. In this ward were two men, one with a white cap of very light texture on his head, the other lame and his face bandaged, who particularly attracted her Majesty's attention. After their cases had been de scribed by Drs. Dartnell and Perry, her Majesty kindly inquired where they felt their pain, expressing the hope that they would soon be better, and concluding the in terview by taking both their cards away, doubtless to be remembered in due time. The wounded man with a light cap is Thos. Walker, 95th Regiment, a very young man, who at the battle of Inkerman was valiantly making his way against the foe, when a shell bursting over his head took a considerable portion of the top of the skull away, laying the brain quite exposed. He became uncon scious, and in this sad state wandered about for four or five hours, being separated from the main body, and was making his way to the very front of the enemy when two Zouaves kindly took him in charge to his camp, where he was received into hospital. This young man had three pieces of his skull removed at Scutari, one piece on board the Sydney, and last Saturday underwent another operation, when two more large pieces of the skull were skilfully displaced . by the scientific hand of Dr. Perry, under the immediate inspection of Dr. Dart nell, the principal medical officer of the fort. Walker has displayed a great amount of moral courage, and is most grateful to the chaplain, Mr. Samson, for convers ing and condoling with him. He will occasionally say, "It wai as nasty rasp—yial it not, 12i i f 67i i i 811 1 i 7 i l 8 o.li 2 102 27 i 6 74 i 3i 44 i 45 50i 30 1 30i 74i 4 / 54 i 1 100 all Fri 100 100 IB i 10 St. 20 50 100 100 100 all all 100 100 101► 100 100 5 all 311 all all 10.1 100 100 50 12! 10 46i 61i 2 29 St. 16 , 5 St. 100 100 100 100 100 100 124 i i 3J 4} 4 31 211 i i 105 3i 5 Lo 44 i 5 9k f 10 2i 11 p 38 i i i i 53 i pm 1101 i die 221 1061 51 6 act."

The following draught resolutions were proposed by the chairman, Mr. Roebuck 1. The state of our army, from its arrival in th Crimea to the period at which we were appointed to in quire into its condition, was one of almost unparalleled hardship, privation, and suffering. "2. The men, when on duty, were over-worked, were badly fed, badly housed, and were exposed, in this un protected state, without the comfort of fire, to cold, wet, and tempest. "3. The men in hospital, on account of wounds or sickness, in addition to much of this misery, had to suffer from insufficient medical attendance, and insufficient medicine, and an absence of medical comforts. " 4. When wounded, the men had often to remain for a long period deprived of medical aid. This suffering was produced mainly by the want of an effective ambu lance, and partly from the insufficient supply of eurgeollS. "5. This calamitous state of things was the result mainly of the circumstances in which the expedition to the Crimea was planned and executed. The Adminis tration which authorized that expedition had no adequate information as to the account of force in the Crimea and Sebastopol ; they knew nothing of the strength of the fortresses to be attacked, or of the resources of the country to be invaded. In this state of ignorance they threw our army upon the shores of the Crimea, relying confidently on the valour of the troops and that the expe dition would be immediately successful ; and, as they did not foresee the probability of a protracted struggle, they made no provision for a winter campaign. What was Planned and undertaken in ignorance was conducted without sufficient care or forethought. " G. The want of knowledge and forethought on the part of those who planned the expedition was not sup plied by the energy and ability of those whose duty it was to execute this; ill-devised measure. The Com: mender of the Forces, Lord Raglan, by his want of vigour and foresight, is in a great degree responsible for the sufferings of the army. Had the requisite firmness food,of an from effic i e t n h t e a w m a b n u t l a of n c shelter, e f l r t o e m r, and prud ence b een shown by him, much of the misery resulting from th e want of land transport, from the want os insufficient h ffi i have been prev en t e d . n c g ie , n a t n a d nd fu i e m l, p ra ro ig p h e t r " 7. It is but too plain that Lord Raglan did not keep the Administration at home duly informed of the actual condition of th e army under his command. By the statement of Lord Aberdeen himself it appears that the Commande r of th e F orces failed in thispart of his duty, and, theref ore , i n so f ar as the wants and suf ferings of the army resulted from the continued igno rance of the Administration, Lord Raglan is respon sible for the misery which was the consequence of that ignorance. "8. Lord Raglan appears also to have been without the assistance of an able and an effective staff ; indeed, there seems to have been no head to conceive what was needed for the army, and no hand to execute the thing needed, even bad it been foreseen. The men died from overwork, insufficient and bad food, cold, and exposure, while their leaders looked on in helpless imbecility or culpable apathy. "9. Among the first duties of those who plan a cam paign is providing for the due care of the sick and wounded of the army. This great duty the Administra tion and those in authority signally failed to perform. The condition of the hospitals at Scutari and Balaklava, and of the haspitals on the field before Sebastopol, during the whole period to which our inquiry is con fined, was a disgrace to a civilised people, and to any body of men taking upon themselves the government of the concerns of such a people. The persons set over the medical department of the army, were wholly incompetent to the task imposed on them. They were ignorant for the most part of the duties of their office, and what they did know they had not courage or capacity to perform. Here, again, we see that the men suffered and died from the incompetence of those whose duty it was to watch over them. • "10. The duties of the Commissariat were inade quately performed. The resources of the countries ad jacent to the Crimea were not made available for supply ing the wants of the army. When, by the exercise of forethought and activity, the army might have been provided with fresh meat and vegetables, and sickness by this means might have been in a great measure pre vented or cured, the soldiers were kept on salt and un wholesome food ; and this food, from the same want of forethought and activity, they were compelled often to eat uncooked. Coffee was served out to the men raw, no provision being made of wood or other fuel where with to roast it, and thus render it fit for human food. " 11. The sea transport was also insufficient for the wants of the army. When the expedition to the Crime was undertaken, the Commander of the Forces and ad the military authorities were utterly ignorant of the ca pabilities of the country to which the army was going to supply them with the means of transport. In this eta` e of things it was the part of prudence to carry to the Crimea that which possibly the Crimea would be unable to supply—viz., land transport. But this could not be done, because of the insufficiency of sea transport ; and this insufficiency arose in spite of there being a period of three months afforded in which to supply the requisite shipping. The absence of land transport was the cause of great suffering and great loss ; and it may indeed r. e csnsiclered amongst the most efficient of the proximate causes of calamity to the army. " 12. The transport also of the sick and wounded from Balaklava to Scutari was marked by the want of precaution of every description. The ships were unpre pared for the reception of the sick and wounded ; the men were crowded into the bolds of the vessels, often without be: . s, generally without proper ventilation, and, for the most part, insufficiently attended. The sufferit g consequently was intense during the transit ' • while the horrors of th e passage were o f ten increased by the utl necessary delay that occurred in putting the men on shore and in hospital after their arrival at the Bosphorus. " 13. The civil duties of the Boari of Ordnance were also very imperfectly performed. The stores needed by the army were seldom adequate, and were not for the most part furnished in time, and, when furnished, were despatched without order or proper precaution. Cargoes destined for Scutari were often carried to Balaklava, and detained for months on board the transports, be cause no one had authority to reedy() them. Ships were also so loaded that, on arriving at the port to which part of the cargo was destined, the position of that part of the cargo was unknown, and the ship bad to proceed onwards in her course, carrying with her things that ought to bave been delivered at the into r mediate port. Much suffering was the consequence of this fau:ty mode of proceeding, the sick at Scutari being in need of Stores, which, in consequence of the improvi dent manner in which they were put on board of the vessels transpsr; ing them, were carried to Balaklava. "14. Much of this confusion and error is doubtless owing to the state in which the Board of Ordnance was placed by the injudicious proceedings of the Adzninistra thei with respect to it. Just at the time when the board was called upon for extraordinary exertion and et& ciency—viz., at the commencement of a great war— the Master-General of the Ordnance was appointed to the command of the forces in the East, and seat 3,000 miles from England. A lieutenant-genc.ral of the Ord nance was appointed in his place, with inferior power, and without the influence which his high office gave the Master-General. The members of the board, no Monger under th e super i ntending control of a superior, iffered among themselves, and the public service suf fered because of this dissension. " 15. Much of delay, confusion and infficiency has resulted from the faulty distribution of power among the the different departments of the public service, and from the want of certainty and precision as to the pre cise nature and extent of the separate authority of each. The forms of office, too, have been made effective to pro duce delay and confusion, and have seldom contributed to the security of the public. Intricate routine has en abled the timid and supine to avoid responsibility, has been effective as an obstruction, but has seldom or ever acted as a safeguard or check upon dishonesty. The intricacy and confusion that prevail in every pert of the business of the public departments are of them selves sufficient to account for the failures and disasters that have occurred in the proceedings of all of them. " 16. There is, however, one bright spot in this dark picture. The patience and fortitude of the arm,t winch has been the victim of all this incompetence and error demand the admiration and gratitude of the nation on whose behalf they have fought, bled, and suffered. Their heroic valour, and still more heroic patience under suffering and privation, have given them claims upon their country which a grateful nation will doubtless be eager to satisfy, in the hope of atoning in some measure for the misery to which, by incompetence and improvi dence, they have been unduly subjected." In the report of the committee read to the House of Commons the following concluding paragraph, proposed by the Chairman, Mr. Roebuck, and carried upon a division was omitted : • What was planned and undertaken without suffi. cient information was conducted without sufficient care or forethought. This conduct on tho part of the Adnai. sistration was the first and chief cause of the salami iea which befel our army." GENERAL ANDRIJANOTV AND T EE COSSACKS. ST. PETERSBURG, Junt 12.
