Looking at the Bank of England Return for the 20 Week to the 6th inst. it may not strike every one r o as being an improvement on the previous returns, 10 but there are, nevertheless, some points which de- ..!.!? serve attention with respect to the future. ; 4 5 1 The bullion bas again been materially les sened, and there was also a great reduction in the reserve of notes, but for almost every sovereign of the latter which the Bank bad to part with, is sold a corresponding amount of securities ; therefore its resources can keep up a Sort of equilibrium with the demand upon them. It is not altogether, however, the requirements of the mercantile community or of capitalists and ex change-dealers that led to these movements, since it would be more correct to measure the amount of disturbance which they would occasion by the reduction of the private balances. These were diminished in preference to making applications for further discounts, and hence they were slightly diminished. The public deposits are considerably lessened, the payments at the close of the financial quarter having been commenced. The following are the changes under the different heads, as coru pared with the statement of the previous week.

Aw UNGRATEFUL TnaEF.—Eliza Neal, residing at 15, Fitzroy-place, Tottenlhitm-court-road, was charged before Mr. Long with stealing a gown, and ether articles, the property of Emma Sims, a married woman, living at No. 114, Grove-street, Camden-town. The complainant stated that some time since she knew the prisoner, who wool in very good circumstances, and for whom she (complainant) was in the habit of charring. Complainant met her e.n Monday evening in the Hemp stead-road, when she was told by the prisoner that she was in great distress 3 and was in want of a lodging. Complainant had pity , on her, and invited her to take a share of her bed, and the next day gave her a breakfast and dinner. The prisoner and complainant left together, but while she (compl aiinaut) was at a neighbour's she was informed that th el re was a strange female in her room. She subsequently was informed that she had obtained a key fi mu some one in an adjoining house, with which sh e had opened her room door. Upon returning home complainant missed a gown, a neck tie, and some other art idles. The prisoner had not been seen by complainant until taken into custody by a po liceman. The daughter of co miplainant in addition said that she saw the prisoner in h er mother's room, and that she had a bundle in which wr is a gown, and some other articles that she was also abo u t to take away, S 31, sergeant of 1) olice, stated that when he appre• hended the prisoner t' hie complainant was with him, and that upon her seeing I Jae prisoner she said to her, "That is my neck-tie you h; I've on." The prisoner asked the c mplainant to ftirgiv e her. Witness found that the pri soner had pawned a pair of shoes belonging to com plainant. He has not: been able to discover any more of complainant's propert3 The prisoner was rex nanded. THAMES. ALLEGED FALSE (MPRISONMENT AT SEA. This morning Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, renewed an ap plication for an assault summons against Captain Henry Peachey, for falsely in, prisoning John Doyle, a mariner on board the ship Oar a, on her voyage from Southamp ton to Swan River, ti hree years and a half ago. The man was imprisoned fc 78 days, on board the Clara, in a place built for the p urpose, which was only four feet square, and between d ecks. On the arrival of the man in the colony he w; is taken before a magistrate, and sentenced to three rue nths' imprisonment ; but after he had been in prison a fortnight only the governor of the colony interfered, libti rated him from durance vile, and gave him an appointmi nit in the water police, which he filled for upwards of th ree years. The complainant all gibed that he had committed no offence whatever, and that the imprisonment was illegal. Mr. Yardley doubts :d whether he had power to inter fere in the matter, anl it was doubtful whether false im prisonment could be i ;onsidered a constructive assault, but gave Mr.. Smith berty to renew his application. Mr. Smith now cam e armed with many authorities, and said he would b e gin with the weakest and close with the strongest ar, gument. Archbold on Criminal Law gave the form ; c f an indictment, which was the ordinary one always fu llowed in an indictment for false imprisonment, where t here was no actual assault or lay ing on of hands, and in the course of that form it said, "the prisoner did unl a' wfully make an assault, and him, the said prisoner, did u in lawfully and injuriously impri son the prosecutor. In io evidence to sustain that indict ment," Archbold said, " was for the prosecutor to prove the false imprisonmer it." In all actions where there was no assault, but only imprisonment, it was always stated in the declaration tl Imo was an assault and imprison ment. Mr. Yardley said a o action for false imprisonment was rather an aetion for t t. espass. Mr. Smith did not :5 ee how there could be a personal trespass without an aft: Sault ; but in addition to that, in Russell on Crimes, pay e 864, it was stated that unlawful imprisonment was alse , an as:ault for which the law de mands public vengeal ice, as a breach of the King's peace. The loss susti tined by the confinement of one of the King's subjeo is was, by the same authority, stated to be an infringe 3ment of the good order of society; and then referred to 11 awkin's Pleas of the Crown, cap. 60, sec. 7, and vol. iv. of Blackstone's Commentaries, page 218, and the prox .edents of actions and indictments for false imprisonment.. He submitted he was entitled to the summons. Mr. Yardley said t e last argument was quite suffi cient, and granted a stimmons against Captain Peachey for an assault on Job in Doyle. ROBBERY IN THE EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS.— Charles Dunnegan, P. middle-aged man, having the ap pearance of a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged wit .h stealing2llbs of copper nails, the property of some pel .son unknown. William Charles N leholson, a constable in the employ of the East anti Wes+ t India Dock Company, said he re ceived information I ast night that a man had gone through some broke m palings into the Colliers' Dock. He went after him and found the prisoner close by Bass's ale stores, in the dock, and on searching him found a bag conceale il beneath his clothes, which con tained 21 mg o f copp( sr nails, such as were used in ship building. The bag ants in front of his chest and reached down to his legs. Hs asked the prisoner where he ob tained the nails, and be replied that he gave a man 6d. for them. He inquirod of the prisoner if heknew the man, and he said he (lid not. The nails were worth Bd. per lb., and were guiles new. The prisoner, in dEXe nee, said he bargained with a man for the nails. A shil ling was asked for the nails, and the man agreed to take 64. for them. _ _ Mr. Yardley—An d those nails are worth 14e. at least. The depositions hu►ving been completed, the prisoner was asked if he pleaded guilty or not guilty. The prisoner—l paid 6d. for the nails. Mr. Yardley—Do you plead guilty or not guilty? The prisoner —I aCa not guilty. The prisoner was 4committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. CONVICTION UNDER THE NEW CEIMINALJUSTICE ACT. INCONVENIENCE TO WITNESSES. — IIe nr Y Copping, a young fellow, about 19 years of age, was brought bofore Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing three pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Robert Milne, boot and shoe maker, Christchurch. The prosecutor &posed that on the previous evening he saw the prisoner loitering about his shop where there were several pairs of Wellington boots for sale. A bout 8 o'clock he missed three pair inside the doorway, ; and on oohing out he OW the priunur running away as LAO as f his legs would carry hi m w ith th e b oo t s un d er hi s arm I He pursued him, calling out " Stop thief," when he threw the boots into the mob and bolted up a court, which fortunately fru! no thoroughfare: A constable being on the spot took him into cu , tody. This being a case coming under the DOW Criminal Justice Act, 13' and 19 Vic„ cap. 126, which 'empowers magistrates to summarily convict offenders pleading guilty, instead of committing then to the sessions for trial, thereby en tailing great expense on the rate-payers. Mr. A'Beckett ordered the depositions to be taken and read over, when he asked the prisoner whether he wished to plead guilty befor e him or go to the sessions? The prisoner replied * that he should plead guilty, throwing himself on the mercy of his Worship. . Mr. &'Beckett accordingly committed him for three months to the House of Correction, with hard labour. Another young man was charged with stealin g a pair of boots, the property of a fellow lodger in Southwark. The prisoner was apprehended at Long Stratton, I n Norfolk, by one of the Norfolk constabulary, and brought to this police-court, when he pleaded guilty, and was committed for three months, under the New Act. The constable asked for his expenses in bringing the prisoner to London, which Mr. A'Beckett allowed, and gave a certificate on the county treasurer, Mr. Kerrick. That gentleman, however, lived at Dorking, and had no officer in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The constable said be had taken the certificate to the officer of the Clerk of the Peace, and there he was referred to Dorking. Great expense and inconvenience would re sult from his going there, and as he was expected to re turn to his duty he could not go to this place. What was he to do as he had no money to take him back to Norfolk ? Mr. A'Beckett considered that some person ought to be authorised by the Treasurer of the county to pay such witnesses at the Metropolitan Police Courts, as they ought not to be put to any inconvenience. In the present instance the Clerk would advance the money on the certificate, but he hoped that the Treasurer would take immediate steps to remove the inconvenience. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

POLICE COMMITTEE.— This Day. (Before Mr. Alderman Wire.) CRUELTY TO A HORSE.-_. William, Fairbarik, in the einploy of Mr. Thomas Ward, cf Barking, Essex, was summoned for working a horse iii au unfit state. Police-constable, 653, stated that he was on duty on 26th Sept., in Fenchurch•street. His attention was directed to a horse the defendant was driving in a cart. Shortly after the horse fell, and on witness examining it he found an old sore, the size of the palm of a man's hand on the shoulder. The collar was in a beastly state from the discharge of the wound.' The, defendarA denied,4hat it was an old wound. The horse, he said, was all right when he left the Borough, and that the wound complained of was caused by the horse falling down. Mr. Alderman Wire fined the owner ss. and costs, and the defendant 2s. 6d. and costs. SUNDAY TRADING.—Hiss Sarah Leighton, of the Green Parrott, Green Arbour-court, was summoned for having her house open on Sunday last, contrary to the act and after a previous conviction. May, one of the detectives, deposed that on Sunday last, about 25 minutes to twelve o'clock, he saw two men knock at the defendant's door, and afterwards ad mitted. He followed them in and saw four persons there; two men were sittingon a barrel drinking out of a pint pot. He was in plain clothes, and hecalled the female who was behind the bar on one side, and informed her who he was and that he should summon her. She replied he had seen nothing to make a cue against the house, and that one of the men was a lodger, and the others his friends. The female in question who attended for the de fendant, denied there was any drinking, and said the measure and glasses on the counter were those that had been used the previous night. Mr. Alderman Wire said he was bound to believe the oath of the policeman, and he found the defendant had been previously convicted. The defendant replied the conviction alluded to took place four years since, during the lifetime of Mrs. Leighton, and was the only complaint that had been brought against her during 55 years she resided in the house. Mr. Alderman Wire said he should in this case fine the defendant only in the costs, and his reason for doing so was not that be disbelieved his statement, but be. cause he disapproved of an officer going into a house in disguise. Mr. D. Morgan, of the Woolpack,FHalf-moon•street, was summoned for a similar offence. --- Police-s ergeant 8 stated that — about half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday morning last he found 20 persons in front of the defendant's bar (men and women) drinking. Pots and glasses were on the counter, which was wet. The defendant admitted the fact, but excused himself by stating that he was up-stairs at the time, where he had been confined for several days previous from illness. He was fined 10s. and costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) MANSION.HoUSE. CHARGE OF LIBEL.—M. Romannetti, a French gentle man, residing at 75, Oxford-terrace, Hyde -park, was charged before the Lord Mayer with libel, in writing and sending to Mr. Garratt an insulting, slanderous, and libellous letter, reflecting on the character of Mr. Cor bett, hi, partner, and- with also forwarding a similar letter to the latter gentleman. I Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution. The pri• soner, who was unable to speak English, was unde. fended, but had the assistance of a French gentleman, named Pinton, a French advocate, as his interpreter. Mr. 1 3 ::rry stated that Mr. Corbett and Mr. Garratt were partners, carrying on business as wine merchants, Old Jewry, and were gentlemen of the highest respec tability. In the early part of 1353 the defendant sepa rated from 'his wife, and by the deed of separation, of which Mr. Corbett was one of the trustees, the wife, who was possessed of property to the amount of 2001. per annum in her own right, agreed to allow the defen dant 301. per annum out of her property in this country, and 251., the rent of an estate belonging to her in Cor sica. The defendant had received these amounts under the deed for two years, but in consequence of some dis agreement between himself and wife, and who bad sued him in the Boulogne courts, the defendant repudiated the deed, and had subjected Mr. Corbett and also Mr. Lowe, the gentleman who prepared the deed, to much annoyance. On the 6th October Mr. Garratt received a letter signed by the prisoner, in which he charged Mr. Lowe and Mr. Corbett as "conspirators," "conspira tors to defraud him," " an association of robbers," " a troup of conspiring robbers," in withholdin g his rents, &c., &c. The proceedings were instituted under 6 and 7 Vic., chap. 96, commonly called Lord Campbell's Libel Act. Evidence was given in support of the charge, from which it appeared the deTendant's wife was an English lady. Mr. Corbett and his brother were the lady's L -L xustees. in order to allow the defendant to obtain legal assist ance the case was adjourned for a week, the defendant entering into his own recognisances of 100/.

Mr. Sayer, tobacconist, of 77, Holborn-buildings, de posed that last evening the prisoner Caine into his shop to take a light for his cigar, and on complainant asking him if he wanted anything. lie replied, " No, you puppy," and followed complainant into his parlour, where he abused him very much, he aimed a blow at complainant, which missed him, but broke a pane of glass in the parlour door. A. scuffle took place between them, in the course of which the prisoner fell into a box of pipes. A friend of the prisoner was with him, and encouraged him to cc serve the com plainant out." He believed the prisoner had been drinking. The prisoner, who said he was also a tobac conist, residing in Featherstone-buildings, said he went to the complainant's to get some tobacco, but that he was treated in a very unbecoming manner by him. He and his witnesses gave a different account of the transac tion to that by the complainant, and said the latter struck him first. A policeman was called in, but the complainant was reluctant to give the defendant into custody until he insisted on it. At the station the com plainant offered to settle the matt er for sa. Alderman Hunter dismissed the complaint. BOW-STREET.

RAILWAY AND CANAL COMPETITION FOR THE IN - ORTIIERN AND MIDLAND TRAPPIO.—LEEDS, Oct. 11.— T he railway companies or this district have just entered lit pon a contest with the Aire and Calder Navigation and tl ,e Water Carrying Companies, which is likely to prove :a am t costly proceeding to all parties. Already the rates .o f freight have been reduced considerably below what i i lust be the actual cost of carriage, especially by the s 7ater carrying companies, who appear determined, if lo ossible, to sweep the traffic of the district. The rates of c arriage between London and Leeds have been reduced. 6 J. Bd. per ton in most instances, whilst bale goods and tl he higher class of merchandise are carried between I Jeeds and Hull for exportation to any other part at 4s. 9:d. per ton, including collection, delivery, and all other ccharges. Goods from Bradford, in the same way, are carried to Leeds by the light vans of the Aire and Calder Company, and forwarded by water at the nominal rate of ss. per ton. We understand that Halifax, Huddersfield, Manchester, Liverpool, and the whole district across the island, is likely to be competed for in a similar manner. The competition has extended to the traffic between Hull and Hamburgh, and freights between these two places :are at merely fancy prices, neither company daring to a dvertise its charges, but each taking good s for exporta t ion at nominal rates. Where this ruinous competition is . to end we cannot imagine ; but we should advise the costly B. experiment. ti t 131 iareholders in the respective undertakingsl to take s ome en Solo on iii ieed steps towards terminsat_in}rgetshas. s. an is sty xpe [Anvinerissizszer.] TR' was ur van BizT.—POWXR.FUL R ersxr Rzoomorraixe Otaaas • ens, opticians, 39, Albemarle -street, Piccadilly , Observe • opposite the York Rote;.

VIENNA, Oct. 9.—The Weincr Zeitung yesterda gave a detailed account of the receipts of the Erc Aire- of Austria during the first half of the yer. 1855. ' The total amount was 123,802,8159. I 1854 it was 118,547,2401 ; and in 185? 115,016,001f1. A politician of great acumen, who to-day spok on the subject of the Danubian Principalities, gay four gdod reasons why Austria should notdesire t possess them. They were the following : 7 4. Th. Austrian frontier towards Russia is already tot long, as has very recently been seen. 2. As Austri, is endeavouri ng t o f orm th e numerous races inhabit ing the Empire into one great and civilised nation, she would materially increase the difficulty of her undertaking if she had anything to do with Moldavia and Wallachia, which are inhabited by Romanen, Sclaves, Greeks, and Gypsies. 3. Vienna, the seat of Government, is at an enormous distance from Jassy and Bucharest. 4. If the Danu bian Principalities belonged to Austria she would always be obliged to keep a large army in them in order to secure herself against any attack on the part of Russia. A fifth reason which might have been given is, that Austria has enough to do with its Italian and Hungarian provinces, without having to look after a little army of Boyards, which would never cease to plot against her. GERMANY. - - A letter in the Independance Beige states that M. Bunsen has been returned by the electors of Mag deburg as Deputy to the Prussian Chamber. It is doubtful whether M. Bunsen will accept the nomi nation, as he had declined every request to become a candidate on account of ill health. The lndepen dance adds : " His election is not less significative, under present circumstances. Recollecting the motives that led to M. Bunsen's recall from the English Embassy in 1854, his nomination denotes a feeling favourable to the policy of the Western Powers." STATE OP TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of this clay.) MANCHESTER, Sept. 12.—The intelligence from Lon don yepttrday that the Bank of England had not fur ther advanced their rates of discount, afforded some re lief ; but the market is still very dull ; and whilst buyers evince an unwillingness to come under engage ment, sellers are beginning, in some cases, to feel the want of money, and rather pressing for sales. Long cloths, T cloths, and domestics, though less de pressed than shirting■, are lower in price, with much irregularity. Printing cloths have withstood the influ ences affecting the market better than any other fabrics; but have not escaped without some depreciations in value. Yarns, generally, are dull of sale ; but warps and cops have been more pressed on the market than other kinds of twist, and have, consequently, suffered most in price. LEEDS, Oct. 12.—Considering the unsettled state of the money market; and other disturbing causes, which are at present exercising considerable influence on com mercial affairs, there is quite as much business doing in 'the woollen cloth trade as can reasonably be expected During the current week, there has only been a mode rate attendance of buyers in the town; and the business done bas been of a quiet character, and principally in goods suitable for the winter trade. lieueex, Oct. 12.—The wool market has ruled slacker this week, and prices incline in favour of the buyers. BARNSLEY.--We are glad to have to state that the fancy trade for the foreign market still continues to im prove. More hands are set on every day by the houses engaged in the manufacture of these fabrics. LETTER FROM MR. LVCAS, M.P. The Freeman's Journal thus introduces the fol lowing letter from Mr. Lucas : " We publish with a melancholy satisfaction a letter addressed by Frederick Lucas to his friend, Father Toni O'Shea. It will be read by Irishmen with deep emotion, and many a manly heart will melt to tears as the eye rests on the words of joyous resignation with which a mail who never swerved from the path of honour and duty can contemplate the probable close of his earthly career. Thank God, the last accounts from England are more cheering, and indicate a favourable change, which giveo us yet to hope that our friend may be spared to his family and his adopted country :—. " Staines, Sept. 28. "a My dear Father Tom—l don't know whether lam glad or sorry that your notion of my disorder is so mis taken. The truth is that it is pretty fairly spread over tnostof the organs of my body--that I am now suffering under enlarged heart, bronchitis, congested liver, inert kidneys, a stomach that refuses food, asthma that for bids sleep, and, to crown all, the dropsy, As Sidney Smith says in one of his letters, " I have seven or eight complaints, but in all otherrespects I am perfectly well." In plain and sober seriousness, my dear Father Tom, I have given up all hopes of life, have received the last sacraments, and though, perhaps, not immediately to die—for this is in God's band, yet I have now no other business than to make the best preparation I can for the judgment -seat of the Almighty, and to request all the prayers of my friends to help me through this fearful passage, which I hope may be from death to life. " ' Thank God, I have no wish to live. I ask for no prayers for restoration to health. I have never valued life very much, and now less than ever. Dear Father Tom, it would be a great pleasurefor me to see you again before I die. We have fought many a battle together, at your imminent peril ; and I never found in you less than the courage of a hero, perfect unselfishnesg, zeal untiring, and a devotion to the cause of God and the poor which it will be difficult to surpass. Now, when per haps I am presently to stand face to face with my Crea tor and Redeemer, I esteem it an honour to have fought so often by your side ; and though I do not regret for a !moment that my exertions have tended to shorten my iife, I do most bitterly regret that your nobleness and heroism have brought on you so sad a persecution. How ever, my Father Tom, let me say to you, and to our friends of your diocese, not to be downcast or disheart ened. As sure as God is in heaven your cause is the cause of truth and honour ; and when your last I our comes, you will all feel what consolation it gives a man never to have !Inched in the worst of times—as I may say of you—or given way in the public service to selfish and personal considerations. " dear Father Tom, I would give a little world to pre , s your hand once more, and to receive your bles sing. Make my kindest adieus to all our friends, parti cularly to Father Keefe, your good brother, the archdea con, Faiiker Aylward, our friends in Tipperary, and my most worthy and venerated friend, the Archdeacon of Rathkeale. " Your business, as far as it depends on my state ments, is not yet quite complete. • I am sorry for it, but I have done my best; and I have left such instructions as I hope will turn to the Lest account what I have been able to do. It I die you will hear through one of my friends how the matter stat.ds ; at present I can add no more than that I am, my dear Father Tom, most affec- tionately yours, "F. Lucas.'

A period of six months, dating from the Ist of October, 1855, is fixed, during which all offers will be received, either directly at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Constantinople, or through the medium of the Embassies and Legations of the Sub lime Porte throughout Europe. 5. During this period of six months, companies desirous of tendering for this line will be afforded every possible facility for pro curing all necessary information and making such inve tigations as they may deem desirable. 6.
