MONEY 11ARKET ♦ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Yesterday was a close holiday at Liverpool in the Cotton and Share Markets. Most of the speculators in stocks appear to be going on the idea that the Bank of England will to-morrow advance the minimum rate of discount to 6 per cent., although some think that the sales of Consols by the Bank would allow of this mea sure being postponed. We need, perhaps, only remark that if the intent of au advanced charge is to restore greater ease ulthnAtely the sooner it is established tho better, although the process is not One which, by a large number of practical and ex . perienced men, is believed to be effectual. The following remarks from the Bankcrs' Circular touch upon this question : "If it were considered necessary to stop the drain of bullion by raising the rate of discount f rom 51t to 5 par cent., the same reasons may be urged for advancing it to si, 6, or 7 per cent. This is the established theory of the advocates of the Bank Charter Act of 1844. The foreign ex changes and gold bullion only were made the basis of English credit ; and how have they served us ? They have both failed us in the hour of need. Those who require bullion laugh such a theory to scorn; and while the Bank is spreading dismay throughout the country by raising the charge for the use of its notes, its bullion is withdrawn by millions. As a commercial people, should we not ask where this is to end ? There is nothing extraordinary in as suming that the Bank may yet lose several millions more of its gold—and what then ? Are we to keep blundering about foreign exchanges ? Mr. Gilbert s aid, in his evidence before the committee of 1841, that as soon as ever this country was engaged in war the Bank ought to suspend cash payments. Whether it will be driven to such an expedient will be determined by the duration of the war ; for, although Sebastopol has been partly taken, we have only yet raised our net annual revenue from ordinary sources to the extent of 8 ,000,000/., or about equal to one-sixth of the Sum required annually. It is therefore a question of no small importance to ask, what step will the Bank take when it cannot further raise its rate of discount ?" Great dissatisfaction has been expressed by many of the shareholders of East Indian shares, in conse quence of a call made upon the Extension Shares. It appears, by the date of a circular shown us by One patty interested, that the Directors of this Co mpany passed a resolution to make this call as recently as the 2(1 inst., and the circular upon the subject is dated that day. In the case in question i t was not received until last night, by the 8 o'clock Post, and yet the amount has to be paid on or before the Ist November. If it were the deliberate intention of the managers of this undertaking in the present state of the money market to depress the value of the property, they could scarcely have taken a more effectual course. The shares are of 201. each, and the all upon them is equal to 25 Per cent. At least it is felt that two or three Months shoull have been given, and it would be quite competent for the directors to allow those Who were willing, to pay up in advance, and merely to charge 5 per cent, interest for calls unpaid after the Ist December next, which would be early enough, considering the brief notice given. No improvement has occurred in the English Stock Market this morning, sales being renewed almost as soon as business commenced, an .1 in this Way we get down I er 4 per cent. almost daily in the quotations. It is not probable that in the present temper of the speculators there are many of them dealing for a rise in prices, although the contango might appear to favour that impression. The great weight that depresses the market is the , selling by the Bank of England, and by other large establishments which can at present find more pro fitable employment for their capital. Hereafter should any decided case occur there would have to be great promptitude exercised on the part of the bankers to get back their stock, but the profits made in the interim would cover any loss on that score. Consols have been 86i /, and since 86/ a for transfer, and 86i to 87, being now 861 / for the November account. Exchequer Bills are 63. dis count, and East India 2s. to 3s. discount. Bank Stock for account is at 2121. Exchequer Bonds are 981 t o In the Foreign Market there is comparative steadiness in all except Turkish bonds, which are scarcely so high, being 831 to 84k, including the dividend. The Scrip has been down to 31 and 41 discount, presenting a remarkable contrast to all the other foreign investment. Spanish 3 per Cents, have been dealt in at 37 3 / 4 to 371, and the Deferred are 19k. Brazilian OM Bonds have rea lised 9 81. Dutch 4 per Cents. are 931 to 1. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :---Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20 ; Mexi can, 21k to 214 ; Peruvian, 73 to 75 ; ditto Three Per Cents., 53 to 55; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 96 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 83 ; Spanish New Deferred, 371 to 38 ; ditto Three Per Cents., 19 to 191 ; ditto Certificates, 4k to 4 1 ; ditto Passive, 41 to 5. Railway Shares are very fairly supported, with very moderate transactions. North Western, South Western, Eastern Counties, North Eastern, and South Western have been chiefly dealt in. The foreign lines were steady, and in the French there is some improvement, owing to yesterday's rise at Paris. The Foreign-Mines are dull, the Banks firm, and eanada. Lind rather stiffer.

To-day's market was very moderately 'impli e d w i t h English wheat. For most kinds we had a slow sale, yet Monday's prices were well supported. Foreign wheat—the show of which was but moderat e-- changed hands heavily; nevertheless, holders were firm, and no change took place in price. Floating carpes of grain ruled steady, at fall currencies. Barley sold slowly, at barely late rates. We had a good demand for malt and oats, the supplies of which were small, at very full prices. Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper. Wheat. 630 ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Barley. ( Malt.

This morning, shortly after six o'clock, an accident of an alarming character occurred near College-street, Crucifix-lane, Tooley-street, to the early Crystal Palace train. It appears that as the men were engaged this morning in getting ready the first train for the Crystal Palace, it was found necessary to shift a number of car riages from one line to the other, which intersect one another near this spot, and that by some mistake on the part of the switchman in not turning the points the train, when formed, instead of running on to the main line to come up to the departure platform, went on to the shunting terminating against the wall of the arch abutting on College-street. On the engine-driver an-I stoker seeing the imminent danger to which they were exposed they jumped off the engine ; the consequence of which was that the engine ran against the wall, scattering the materials in every direc tion, and precipitating the tender and one of the car riages into the street below, to the consternation of the surrounding inhabitants, whets they now remain, blocking up the thoroughfare. Fortunately no lives were lost. Whitley, 91 D, and other policemen, corroborated the evidence. Crook was fined 403., or, in default of payment, one moath's imprisonment in the House of Correction, and the other prisoners were fined 20s. each, or, in default, 14 days. ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER. - .Bridget Mackey, a single young woman, of not very prepns• ses , ing appearance, was charged with assaulting Mr. Boylson, landlord of the Horse and Jacks, and also biting the hand of police-constable D 224. It appeared that about half•past ten o'clock the previ ous evening the landlord was attempting to clear his tap room of some men who were fighting. The prisoner resisted, and scratched his face, and when taken into custody by the policeman she bit his hand, and it re quired the exertions of three constables to take her to the station-house. She was fined 20g., or, in default, 14 days' imprison• ment for each assault. Sirius . Lizzie ... Falcon .. 'fir 11‘ • t r - re; .1 4 ii Z., SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. FRANCE. BOURSE, October 9, Half-past Three.—Not withstanding another fall of per cent, in the English Consols, the F renc h Securities have been very firm, in consequence of numerous purchases for cash. There ha s b een a report that new propositions have been sent by the Austrian Cabinet to renew the diplomatic confer ences, and it was added that the Czar had accepted the mediation of Austria. P r i ces were very buoyant, not only in the Rentes, hut also in the principal Railway Shares to wards the end of the market, large purchases having been made for a banking-house, which had sold at the beginning of the crisis, and realised profits. The Threes have improved from 64fr. to 64fr. 60c. All the Railway Shares have gone up. It was asserted towards the close of the Bourse that M. de Bourqueney had left Paris to reopen negotiations.

THE BETTING HOUSE ACT.—John Cole appealed against the decision of Mr. Arnold, the magistrate for Westminster, who bad inflicted a penalty of 201. or six months' imprisonment, for his having unlawfully kept a betting•house. The Assistant-Judge thought there was not sufficient proof, and the conviction was quashed upon form. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(TMs Day.) GUILDHALL. Emanuel de Cortazar and Miguel Masep, the two Spaniards who have been so many times examined re lative to their obtaining two sums of money, amounting to 1,8001., by means of forged letters of credit, were again brought up for final examination. Mr. Mullens appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Wontuer for the prisoner. Mr. James Holder deponed that he went to Paris on the 6th September. He went to the office of the Prefect of the Police, and there saw the parcel of papers now produced, addressed, " Mon. Miguel Masep, Poste re stante, Paris," and containing 4 1001. Bank of England notes, 4 do., of 501. each, 5 do., of 20/. each, 19 of Si. each of the Bank of France for I,ooof each ; one of the National Bank of Belgium for 400 f. eech ; also another envelope with the same address, containing 50 Lank notes of 101. each. There was also another enve lope addressed to M. Pedro Regalado, Poste restante, Paris, containing 6 foreign bills of exchange ; another envelope similarly addressed, containing a passport dated Valencia, granted to Miguel Martinez, containing 4 letters of credit in the same na.ne, dated Valencia. and 8 foreign bills of exchange, &c. He knew the prisoner Masip, and identified the writing on the envelopes as his. Cross-examined by Mr. Wm:viler—He had only seen the prisoner Masip write once. It was at the London Coffee-house. Mr. Gardner, of the circulation department of the General Post-office, deposed to the envelopes produced being posted at the General Post-office, after 7 o'clock, on the 16th of August. They were too late for the mail of that day, but were forwarded to Paris by the following mail, on the 18th, and, by the French post marks, arrived at Paris on the 19th. Mr. Mullen said he had now completed the case, and asked for a committal of both prisoners. Mr. Wontner addressed the bench, contending the evidence was not sufficient against Masep. It was true both prisoners had travelled from Belgium together, and were residing together in this country, which was ex plained by Masep being unable to speak English or French, and Cortazar acting as his interpreter. It was the latter who presented the letter said to be forged, and any participation of Masep in their proceeds had not been proved. One of the witnesses had spoken to his belief that Masep was present when Cortazar changed one of the notes, which might be consistent with Masep's innocence. There was a third person connected with this transaction, named Ragaldo, and the fact of Masep addressing the envelopes was probably that of a friend rather than a participator in the proceeds. Mr. Alderman Finnis said he considered there was sufficient evidence against Masep to justify his commit ting him with the other prisoner for trial. The prisoners were then formally committed. BOW-STREET. ALLEGED ROBBERY.—This morninga very fashionably dressed woman, who gave the name of Ann Hammond, was placed at the bar charged with robbery. From the evidence of the prosecutor, a foreign gentle man, it appeared that, on the evening of Monday week, he met the woman at the bar in the neighbourhood of the Strand, and, having had a slight conversation with her, he allowed her to take his arm, and they walked for some distance together. When they had reached Newcastle street, in the Strand, she stopped op posite a house in that street and then again entered into conversation. At this moment the door was opened by a person, and during the passing out of this person, the prisoner, he alleged, picked his pocket of a purse con taining two sovereigns, a half-sovereign, twenty shillings in silver, and a diamond stud worth nine pounds. Sh e immediately made off, and he had not been able to trace her until last night, when he again met her in the Strand, when he asked what she had done with his purse, and told her that if she would give him the ticket of the stud, if she had pawned it, she might keflo the purse and money ; but if she did not restore the stud he should give her into custody. She told him she knew nothing about his purse, and he then called a policeman, and she was conveyed to the station-house. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, put a num ber of questions to the prosecutor, with a view of show ing that the purse might have been taken by the man who passed out of the house in the doorway of which the prosecutor was with the woman to whom he was talking. With respect to the prisoner at the bar be (Mr. Lewis) felt that it was a case of mistaken identity, or else the purge had been taken by some other person. The woman at the bar was well known, and bad she committed the robbery she would have kept out of the way. The magistrate remanded the prisoner till Tuesday next. SOUTHWARK. CHAEGB OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—Efenry Light, a respect able•looking young man, was brought before Mr. A'Beukett for final examination, charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employer, Mr. William Reeves Cooper, Stones-end, Borough. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been nearly four years in his service, and it was his duty to deliver goods to the various customers and receive the money, which he ought to pay over to witness or the book-keeper every night. Latterly he had reason to suspect his honesty, which induced him to go round to several of his customers, when he found that the pri soner bad received money to a considerable amount. He consequently gave him into custody. Sarah Taylor, a young female in the service of Mrs. Graham, of Salter 's-hall-court, said her mistress dealt with the prosecutor, and the prisoner bad been for some time in the habit of bringing goods to the house and re ceiving the money. On the 9th of July last witness paid the prisoner the sum of 4/. Bs., and he gave her the re ceipt produced. Maria Letcb, a servant in Mrs. Butler's employ, o f I 46, Trinity-square, said the prisoner brought goods from the prosecutor to their house, and on the Ist of Septem ber she paid him a bill amounting to 6s. 6d., and on the 15th of September she also paid him 6s. 2d., and he re ceipted the bills produced. Mr. Cooper said he bad examined the books and no entry of the payment had been made. There were other accounts to a large amount, but witness bad not b rought the witnesses, as be understood three cases would be sufficient to go before a jury. Joshua Golding, a Berjeatt of the M division, said h e took the prisoner into custody on the Ist inst., but be said nothing about the charge. The pr;soner said he was guilty of the offence, and be wished that be might be dealt with summarily under the New Criminal Justice Act, instead of being sent before a jury. Mr. A'Beckett said be bad no power to do so in charges of embezzlement, therefore he must be com mitted for trial. MARYLE BONE.

Po liceman Frances was in Paddington-street, when he heard the prisoners shouting at the top of their voices. He went up to them and observed that they were all under the influence of liquor. He told them not to make such a disturbance at that time of the morning, and endeavoured to persuade them to go home. Crook exclaimed, " You are not in Hyde-park now, and are aot going to do ai you life with uo.'!. 9=phi:sat THAMES. THE SHIP "CATHERINE PEMBERTON."—SEAMEN'S WAGES.—This morning, while Mr. Yardley was hearing tho night charges, a gentleman, who had some papers in his hand, applied on behalf of Captain George T. Ovendon, the master of the ship Catherine Pemberton, on whom 9 orders were served for the payment of wages last night, for permission to pay the men at the Shipping Office, before the Shipping master. Mr. Yardley said this was a most improper time to make such an application—there was a prisoner in the dock. He bad been hearing applications for hall-an hour, and the gentleman should have got into the wit ness box 10 minutes ago. The gentleman—The matter is pressing. We wish to pay the men before the Shipping-master at once, and obtain the orders of discharge and the signature of the men to the usual release. Mr. Yardley said he would not give his sanction to anything of the kind. He made the orders on the captain of the ship, after due proof of the service of the summons. The case was out of the jurisdiction of the shipping-master, and the money must be paid to an officer of the court. If that was not done he should seize the ship. He asked who had the original orders, copies of which hod been served on the captain. Taplin, 234 IC, a police-constable attached to the court, replied—l have them, sir. Mr. Yardley—Then enforce them. The captain's agent said that several of the crew were paid at the Shipping-office yesterday. The captain waited for the other men, who were at that court, from two till half-past four o'clock, but they did not come. Mr. Yardley—They were here, giving evidence, and supporting their claims. The summonses were taken out last Saturday, and the crew were discharged on the 6th instant. They ought to have been pail before. The applicant—Then you will not sanction the pay went of the wages at the S ipping-office Mr. Yardley—Certainly not. The orders must be discharged in the regular legal way. The wageß, amounting to 300/. (with the costs), were then paid to Taplin. ROBBERY IN THE ST. KATHERINE DOCK.—George le Roy, a labourer in the employ of the St. Katherine Dock Company, was before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing two quart bottles of rum from the dock. Henry Pope, a gate-keeper, in the employ of the St. Katherine Dock Company, said the prisoner was leav ing the dock at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and ob serving him rather bulky he stopped him, and found a bottle of rum in each of his trousers pocket. He asked the prisoner where he obtained them, and the prisoner said he had been at work among the rums in the eastern area of the dock, and a man named Hag gerty gave him the two bottles of rum to carry out of the dock, which Haggerty denied. The prisoner repeated the statement he made to th• officer. Mr. Yardley said if another man had given the prip soner the rum he knew well he had no right to receive it. The prisoner would not be employed in the St. Katherine Dock or any other dock again, and the sen tence upon him was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one calendar month.

PRICE Or GOLD.- -The quotation of gold at Paris is aboui. 6 per milk, premium (accordinz to the la't tariff), which, at the Eoglisb Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.32 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.35, it follows that gold is about 0.12 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark, which, at the Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10P. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.51 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.6, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 109,1 per cent. ; and, the par of exchange between England and America being 10 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally o'3o per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Portsmouth harbour and roadsteads are getting a busy look again with the rapidly-accumulating returns of the members of the Baltic fleet. The steam troop-ship Simoom has been greatly improved, and her speed in• creased, it is estimated, two and a half or three knots. The Simoom is wanted to embark upwards of 1,000 troops immediately. FIRE AT MAlDSTONE.—Yesterday morning, between four and five o'clock, an alarming fire was discovered at the Ship, an extensive public-house, situate at Gabriel'a hill, Maidstone. For some time the greatest fears were entertained for the safety of the inmates, but it was eventually ascertained that, after much difficulty, they had escaped. Several horses which were stabled there were also fortunately extricated. Too much praise can not be bestowed upon the soldiers, who came down in numbers, for their unceasing exertions in preserving an area in which the firemen and others of their comrades exerted themselves. The fire continued burning about an hour, completely gutting the premises. The cause is unknown. ELECTION OF VICE•CttANCELLOR.—OXFORD, OCt. 9. The annual election of Vice-Chancellor took place this afternoon in the Convocation House, when the Senior Proctor read a letter from the Chancellor, Lord Derby, nominating the present Vice Chancellor, the Rev. Dr. Cotton, Provost of Worcester College, for the fourth time. The nomination was confirmed by the Convoca tion, and the Vice-Chancellor then took the usual oaths of office, after which the books, keys, and seals belong ing to this University were handed to him. The Vice- Chancellor then delivered the usual Latin oration, in the course of which he took a retrospect of the proceed ings of the University during the past year, adverting to the alterations in its constitution, and complimenting the Hebdomadal Council on their industry and the re sult of their labours. THE CASE OF NATHANIEL WILLIAMS.—A letter has beer_ received in Worcester from Mr. Waddington, the Under-Secretary of State, in which he says, "he is directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acquaint the parties interested that after an inquiry into the circum stances attending the case of Nathaniel Williams, he has thought it right to communicate to the convicting ma. gis'rates his opinion that the conviction of Williams for cutting some wheat belonging to himself upon the Lord's day was not warranted by the law. A litigation is likely to arise out of the bankruPtcY "f Strahan and Co., for the proprietorship of certain bonds for the sum of 13,5001 , advanced by the firm many years ago to the 11 , n. General Cavendish and his eldest PoP and one for 8,5001., advanced by the late Sir John Paul to his own brother-in-law, the late Lord R.Avensworth. In the year 1847, th e se bonds, ' with some minor ones, were assigned to Mrs. Gore, the authoress, as secur ty for a sum of 23,0001. Consols, sold out of the funds 1 3 . 7 her trustee, the late Sir John Paul, on the plea of ob. taining better interest by investment in Exchequer Bill s ; but in reality to be appropriated to the use of the firm. Letters dated November, 1847, from Sir John and his partners, explaining to Mrs. Gore (who was then on the continent) the nature of the transaction and the validity of the bonds, have been laid before the Bankruptcy Court, in consequence of the official ; alss.Me having applied for the cession of these securities. Tie case ap• landship port to b• ono of - _ _ _ VISIT OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE TO LANCASHIRE. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—His Royal Higlinsss arrived at Knowsley Hal!, the residence of the Earl of Derby, yesterday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock, by special train to Huyton, at which station a vast number of per sons bad congregatei, who greeted his Royal Highness with repeated and hearty cheers. Shortly after alighting from the train he proceeded in a carriage and four (which was in waiting) to Knowsley Hall, where be was re ceived by the Earl and Countess of Dtrbv, who con ducted him through that princely mansion. The following distinguished visitors were invited to meet his Royal Highness at Knowslny Earl and Counte-s of Chesterfield and the Lady Evelyn Stanhope, Lord So inerton, Lord and Lady Colville, Lori; H. Lennox, Lord A. Lennox, Mr. A. Egeit , n, Mr. Barrington, and Mr Knightley. His Royal [Ugliness occupied the splendid suite designated the gallery-room, and the old red zoom was a sigmad to the use of his aide-de-camp, Colonel Tyrwhitt. The Duchf s4and the Princess M;•ry of Cam' bridge have deferred their visit to Knowsley until the week after next. The dinner party last night at Knows ley was on a scale of princely magnificence. The buffets were loaded with massive plate; amongst the most at tractive of which were the numerous racing cups which from time to time hare been won by the Derby family. The most remarkable were the Goodwood cups for the years 1849 and 1353, and the Steward (Goodwood) Cup of 1854 THE ARRIVAL IN LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening.—This morning the long-looked-for visit of the Duke of Cambridge to Liver pool took place. His Royal Highness, who had been staying at Knowsley, was accompanied into town by the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Hardwicke, Col. Tyrwhitt, and Mr. Walpole. The streets through which he passed in reaching the Town Hall exhibited the enthusiasm of the inhabitants at the fall of Sebastopol and the victories in the Crimea. Banners streamed from every window, and tastefal designs commemorative of the French alli ance were to be seen in all the principal thoroughfares. Mingled with these were the preparations for the illu minations this evening, which will be on a scale hitherto unprecedented in Liverpool. As the carriages rolled along the streets, a respectful, rather than a vociferous expression of gratification was manifested. The shops were all closed, and the day was observed as a general holiday. To do honour to his. Royal Highness the members of the corporation were summoned fir 11 o'clock, and shortly after that hour the cortege was seen proceeding up Castle-street. His Royal Highness and party were received at the entrance of the Town Hall by the Mayor, J. A. Tobin, Esq., who led the illustrious stranger up the gr ar c d e s ss tal o r i case to the eastern drawing-room, where thebadrau of the the corporation was presented. The town council followed, The Mayor proceeded to say it affor ded . n and when all were nl ris em sep e ina bl e m d, uch pleasure, as the represen tative to receive and Wel .lntilic! of people, inhabitants of the borough of °i Liverpool,h3lf-a a visitor. The come se illustrious and distingu ish e d , pleasure was, in a great degree, e his Royal ll' b d connection than by s n tin. w T h h b e receivingAwn p ac l se e aan'souwtr when eellB4 a h 8 ; (the. a l g l e s ur o : mayor) remembered that in ness, he was welcoming occurring on the t g Eo u n is a h i ed in b er y it i . llus (L tr o io u u d sb ch ir e t e h r n p ae . n ) enhanced by the opportunityi of Liverpool for • • day "- apart by the people - it had pleased rejoicing On ac count of the great Divine Providence t v o ic bless the arms of the allies. This e r a r idnnou white h f Li i r s t s ß , o ) f y was also doubly a pleastlre, when he recalled to mind al Highness led his the Crimean cam paign, ari d more especially the gallant and distinguished d th iv e is n i o o b n le in i na t o h n e manner in which he had led his brave comrades in arms At the great victories in which he had lx•rne so noble a par t. The people of Liverpool felt proud of the honour Of welcoming so gallant and distinguished an officer ; and he might assure his It.y . d 111 , Imess, that, all bengh they were deeply interested in a desire for a return of the b'essings of peace, still they were one and all united in the sentiment which proclaimed that there should be no peace till the objects for which the war hail been undert..ken should be fully attained. He (the mayor) would now call upon the Recorder to read the address which it was the wish of the corporation should be pre sented to his Royal Highness. The Recorder then read the following address : "TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF CA3IBBIDGIC, K.G., K P., K.C.8., &c. " May it please your Royal Highness, • " We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses o f the bo of _ opportunity rough of Liverpool, avail ourselves of this offering to your Royal Highness our earnest congra tul a tions. sn upon your visit to this town, together with attachment as surance of the respectful esteem and ... this borough enter tained towards yourself by the inhabitants of generally. "Pis tribute 'is due not only to y our tia u,*d rtitio 3 brit to your personal exertions in the public serr;ce. We have seen with no common ire crest a Prince of tl e Blood .yal an n01(10115 cazup a=1(1 share i the toils awl perils of our soldiers, and with them at Alma, Bal , :kleva, and Tukerna.tu nobly sustaining the honour of our common country. " H 'pp:ly, it is now our privilege to nrldresm your Royal Bighnets soon after another signal triumph has been granted to the arms of the allies in the fall of Sebastopol, and at a time when everything seems to promise a favourable issue to the war undertaken by France and England, with no ob ject of personal aggrandisement, but solely to curb the aggressive ambition of a great empire, and to secure the independence of surrounding nations. W e Lope that your Royed Highness will, in inspecting the shipping, docks, and maritime arrangements of the port of Liverpool, not fail to perceive that industry and enterprise on the banks of the Mersey are still widely ex tending themselves, and contributing largely to the general prosperity of the British empire. " Given under the Common Seal of the Borough of Liverpool, this 9th day of October, 1855. (Signed) " J. A. Toms." The Recorder having finished reading the address, the Mayor presented it to the Royal visitor. His Royal Highness, in reply, raid—lt is with feel ings of the deepest satisfaction that at your invitation I visit this great and important and loyal borough. The honour is still more gratifying to me from the circum stance that you have associated my name with that of the gallant army which has, by its deeds of bravery and daring, rendered itself worthy cf all the honour we can bestow on it. If in my connection with that army I have been so fortunate as to obtain yoar approbation, I am on that account also much gratified, That is an honour of which a soldier may be justly proud. (Cheers.) It affords me very great satisfaction to have visited this great and important mercantile borough ; and once more I must express my gratitude for the very flattering mark of your consideration which you have just bestowed on me. The address was enclosed in a handsome cylindrical box, made of ebony, elegantly mounted with silver. It was embellished with engraved representations of the landing stage, the Custom•house, the Town Hall, and St. George's Hall ; and on it was also engraved the fol lowing inscription : "This box, containing the address to his Royal Highness George Duke of Cambridge, K.G., K.?., and G.C.8., was presented by the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Liverpool, in the county palatine of Lancaster. October IX., MDCCCLV." This very elegant box was made by Mr. Mayor, Lord street ; by whom also was prepared the illuminated oopy of the address which was enclosed in the box, and pre sented to his Royal Highness. When the ceremowy of the presentation bad been completed, the mayor led his Royal Highness through the small into the great ball room, and there introduced him to a number of ladies ; after which his Royal High ness stepped out upon the balcony, which commands a fine view of the Exchange area. At this time there were at least 5,000 Ferocity; assembled, and his appear ance gave rise to a simultaneous burst of cheering. This balcony was first erected for the reception of the Queen when she was here four years ago, and, strange enough, her visit to Liverpool occurred on the same day in October. U I.ke, however, that visit of royalty, when it rained ineessant.y, to-day, although a little cloudy, has been fine, and there is every appear ance of the weather keeping up for the dinner and the grand ball this evening at the Town H a ll . _ _ The docks throughout their great extent on no former occasion ever presented to the eye a spectacle so pleasing or magnificent. The nide , aloe the hanks of the Mer sey over which these vast r-•et-pt,cles for the shipping representing the trade of all conotriei of the world ex tend, was one vast line of var4gated buss. Along the hole extent fluttered in the breeze the flags of all na ions, with the sole sac, ption of the double-headed Towering over dock wale and warehouscs the gay .ereateers, as seen from the river, formed the base of a huge brea-twork of brit - VA tints, rising with the high eround of the town, and teradnating with the tower and spires of the churches in the back ground. In the openings from the river, and looking north and south through the docks, the eye was dazz ed with the mass cf brilliant colours that left little of masts or ringing visible. The great landing stage and every structure on the margin of the river was made the most of, with emblems of the unity of the countries in league to stay the tide of northern barbarism from engulfing civilised Europe. Supporting, and intermingled with each other, floated the standards of England, France, Sardinia, and Turkey. As a whole there is no doubt whatever that the dis play in and along the dock to-day far exceeded any for mer demonstration. Nor was the river itself unattrac tive. Fine as at all times is the broad Mersey, with the many large ships reposing upon its bosom, or departing for a foreign port, or returning from a long voyage, to-day there was superadd e d a di s pl a y o f dressing that much increased the beauty of the scene, and attracted large numbers of admiring spectators from the busy tbrongs that Sllvd the gay streets of Liverpool, and crowded the ferry-boats to Birkenhead, which, in sympathy with the borough it hopes soon to become more closely connected with, put f.e.th all its energies to look as gay and be as joyous. The display was ex cellent, and the ornaments in many instances elegant. Not the least striking in the evening, when the illumi nations begin, will be the river face of Woodside Ferry. A colossal crown in gas, with a star underneath, will throw a luminous halo across the river towards Liverpool, that will be of the most attractive character. The town of Liverpool itself was most beautifully and picturesquely decorated, there was not a street but what had its numerous flags of all nations, gaily floating in the breeze; there were streamers arranged on the house tops, which waved majestically, and banners stretching across a whole street, giving the whole a most interesting and beauteous effect. The Town Hall and the Exchange-build ings had numerous flags, and the Custom-house, Post office, &c., were similarly attired. The houses in the dif ferent streets had multifarious mottoes, and devices on their front., such as "Honour to the Brave," " Wel come H. R. H.,' "Sebastopol," "Sicope is avenged," " The Allies for ever," and similar other expressions of national feeling. Bands of music paraded the town, and several effigies.. of the departed Nicholas travelled about, representing him with two faces, and accompanied by numerous chimney-sweeps. His Royal Highness at the Collegiate Institution was presented with an address, and in responding to it did not alight from his carriage. He film, visited the public baths, Cornwallis-street, and subsequently tLe Derby Museum, passing on to the Bloc-coat Hospital, where wa4 received by the band of the hospital (composed f the boys of the school) with the National Anthem. His Royal Htribness went tbrough the school, and next visited the Sailors' Home, sfter which he proceeded to the Albert Dick and warehouses, and afterwards the line of docks. Ti , rou.diout the whole of this route the demonstrations in honour of the visit of our Sovereign's cou-in were most unbounded. Goes and pi•tols were fired ince.satttly, avid as the cheers of the multitude rose above the din, his Highness removed his hat a n d cordially bowed to the peoplo. . _ Hi:, Royal HizhneAs will dine with th© Mayor this evening, and attend a ball. HEALTH 01? DiNDoN DURING THE WEEK. ( From the Registrar-General's Report.) - - London is healthier than it was in September.
