(From, the Moniteur.) O ARD THE MONTEBELLO, AUG. 18.—M. le le rn iB t t .. e , —Yesterday morning I visited the head•qmr °..the army, from which the commander-in-chief 111 4 ,! c ed enou g h to conduct me to the battle-field of Opt t ' i ''ller naYa. - The number of the enemy's losses was ti t , nen exactly known, but it was ascertained by the t hat we returned to head-quarters that 1,700 :` • l a r :'7 l nd Russians had been found and taken care of, • 44'44 400 prisoners had fallen into our power.

Th e arrangem ents made by tee )1 0 ti n ns indicate a well-conceived and well-studied plan 80itielrriar was this time committed like that of General ei c . 11110 1 at the battle of Inkerman.

Its difficulties, attir ti ess, are diminished very little by our victory ; it is "'Work demanding perseverance and sy,tem ; but its -91 e % I , v an no longer be doubted.

When the autumn rains abe in -a ve 'oroken up the roads, I do not see how the 4 4% 1 c all victual his numerous army. To me his situ ariveara most critical ; and in the attack of August 4 sg e %l / 41 l 'sriguidly pursued, I see a symptom of disc iu -1414,U rather than of audacity. A glance at the sfk, • t aught the Russians the necessity of a vigorous -i; to us, on the contrary, it counselled prudence.

MONEY 31 A RKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed firmly, and with animation. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales, (1,500 of which were taken for export, and 1,500 on speculation), comprising 200 Pernam and Maranham at bid. to 7d., 50 Bahia at 6-Id., 200 Egyptian at bid. to 9d., 2,000 Surat at 4d. to and 100 Sea Islands at 114 d. to ls. Bd. per lb. The Railway Share - Market rather improved, but business generally was dull. There has been more activity in the markets for Colonial Produce this week, and for si , ree of the principal articles higher prices have been realised. Sugar, iu which a large business has been done, is Is. to ls. 6d. per cwt. dearer for British Plantation and also Mauritius, while for other descriptions fill values are current. A steady inquiry has existed for coffee, at good prices. The market for rice has ruled firm, and in spices no alteration of importance has occurred— cinnamon, however, being dull. Previous rates not being offered for Bermuda arrow-root, the parcels brought forward publicly were taken in. Cotton has been supported, and saltpetre brisk at former quotations. Tea has not been much dealt in, and tallow has continued firm. A further relative decline in the supplies of cotton, amounting to 189,362 cwt., took place in July, when 728,635 cwt. were imported, against 917,997 cwt. iu 1854; the exports were, however, al,o less by 49,347 cwt., being 77,377 cwt. against 126,724 cwt. The result for the seven months shows a reduction of 427,100 cwt. in the quantity remaining for home use, being equal to about eight per cent.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held this afternoon at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street —Mr. Waddington, M.P., chairman of the board of di rectors, in the chair. There was a very full attendance of shareholders. ... - 0 The report and accounts, which have already appeared in The Sun, were read by the Secretary. The CHAIRMAN said that in submitting to them the report just read for their adoption, they would find that after paying a dividend there would remain a balance of 1,7451. 13s. 2d., and adverted to the directors opposing the distribution of the surplus of 11,0001. as an extra dividend last half-year, which he looked upon as a wise and sound decision on their part, it having allowed them to give a better dividend this half-year. The traffic be tween Harwich and Antwerp had been brought before the shareholders for 12 or 13 years past, and great expec tations wi.re entertained of an increase of traffic, in con sequence to Harwich. He then called attention to the establishment of stearn-boats in connection with the line, and the increasing numbers that had since passed over the line from Harwich, which there was every reason to believe might be greatly improved, but it was for the shareholders to say whether sufficient boats should be put on the route to properly test these productions. The booking by the boats was in the first week only 11 passengers, but in the last week bad increased to 346. The board had not decided on adopting the report of the engineer for maintaining the permanent way in the most efficient manner, being desirous of obtaining first all the information they could on the subject. The ques tion between this company and the Northumberlacd and Durham Coal Company had been referred to arbitration, on the suggestion of the solicitor, which the directors hoped would be found ultimately to be to the advantage of th e company. With regard to the irregularities connected with the stores despartment everything was being done that could be to place the company in a proper position. The East Suffolk Company bad offered to take the respon sibility from the company, arising from the Haleswortii and Haddiscoe agreement, which would be submitted to the meeting. The auditors report was of so grave a nature that he could not permit it to go forth without SHAitk , ,comment. 6 - 7 44 - 5 4 24 - 3 31 - 27 -- 29 274 8 A - OP 62 - 66 a i 21 2i 18 - 20 iP 15 - 17 2i - 3 7 21 1 - I --- - 14 - 15 I - 21 - 22 6 - 7 4i - 5 2i --• 3 3 - 34 The conclusion will be given in our last edition.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY. —James Mayne, an omnibus-driver, re manded from Wednesday last, charged with having the halves of five 5/. notes in his possession, supposed to have been stolen, was again placed at the bar before Sir Robert Carden. On the 18th inst., Mr. Hatton, grocer, of Beacons- field, gave the prisoner, who drove the omnibus between that place and Slough, a sealed letter, containing the halves of the notes in question, addressed to Mr. James Crook, Slough, with five sovereigns in gold and silver, requesting him to be particular and give both to the person to whom the letter was addressed as soon as possible. Prosecutor said to him, " Take care of it," and prisoner replied, " I won't run away for 51." On his return in the evening he told prosecutor he had delivered the letter and money to the lady, thegentleman being from home. Prosecu tor asked him his charge and he replied ls. which he paid him. On the following Monday he received a letter from Mr. Crook, stating he had not received the money. He then made inquiry for the prisoner, but he heard nothing of him till he received a communication from the police. The prisoner formerly lived at the hotel at Slough which induced witness to trust him with the money believing him to be a re spec table man. The prisoner was ordered to be taken before a county magistrate fur examination and commitment. IMPORTANT QUESTION AFFECTING THE JEWISH MODE OF SLAUGHTERING CATTLE.—On the 16th of August an application was made by Mr. Fuster, Secretary to the Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to Sir Robert Carden for a summons against Yankoff Cohen and Thomas Roynolds for cruelty to a bullock. The charge was not that of specific cruelty to this bullock, but one affecting the Jewish law of killing their cattle. A summons was accordingly granted, re turnable to-day, when Mr. Foster and his witnesses at tended to enter on the case. Mr, Sampson Samuels, who appeared for the defen dants, applied for a postponement of the case, in conse quence of the charge being one affecting the religious rights of the Jews, which could not well be entered into in a court of justice. In the meantime the question would be considered by the Jews ; and if what was com plained of could be prevented, they would do so ; but if not, they would defend the case. The hearing was adjourned to the sth October. BOW-STREET. THE WATCH ROBBERY IN THE STRAND. This morning the two men, named Joseph Levy, and George Purser, a waiter out of employ, were placed at the bar for further examination, charged with being in possession of a portion of the stolen property. It will be recollected that at the last examination, when the man Purser was placed at the bar, that be was apprehended at the shop of Mr. Tomlinson, a pawn broker, pledging a watch from which the name of Milleret was erased. The account given by Purser of how the watch came in possession of the prisoner was that while he was in the shop of a man named Charlton, in Holywell-street, a man whom he did know came in and offered him half a crown if he would go and pawn the I watch kr him, and that the priacuere Wfre man* for the production of the man Charlton, who had ab sconded. Inspector MackenziP said that, he had not yet been able to discovi r the retreat of Char:ton, and he must therefore ask the magistrate for another remand. An application was here made for the admission of Purser to bail. Mr. Henry said that at present he must decline taking bail, but if the case was not complete by next week he would then think of it. The prisoners were then ordered to be brought up again this day week. MR. E. T. SMITH AND HIS AFRICAN TWINS.—It Will be recollected that Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee of Drury lane Theatre, some days ago made an application for advice as to the best means to be adopted to recover the possession of two African children that he alleged had bee❑ clandestinely removed from the custody of their guardians. The children in question were two little negro girls, united in a similar manner to that of the Siamese Twins. This afternoon Mr. Smith waited upon Mr. Henry, to inform him that in Scotland he had obtained posses sion of the children, and thinking he (the worthy ma gistrate) would like to see them, he had taken the liberty of bringing them into court for his inspection. The children were here carried into court enveloped in a large carpet, which upon being removed discovered two little negro children, apparently about five years old, dressed in amber coloured frocks and blue satin bonnets. Upon a portion of the dress being removed, the cause of union was plainly visible. Mr. Smith then told one of the children to sing a song to the gentlemen, upon which she began singing the negro ditty of "Oh, /Susannah, don't you cry for me." She had scarcely commenced her song when the other child began singing the same melody, which seamed greatly to amuse tb♦ worthy magistrate, as it did the few persons who hsp. pened to be in court. Upon being again re-covered with the carpet, the magistrate asked if that was the usual way of travelling ? Mr. Smith—Oh, dear no—it is only adopted in order to conceal the children from the crowd collected outside. Mr. Smith then, with his tender charge, withdrew. There was an immense crowd collected outside the court immediately it became known that "The Siamese Twins," as they are called, were inside the office, but the euvious carpet prevented their curiosity from beim, gratified. iitit , tBN this nay ei 25 I a] 20 I 10 50 41 :!,5 al St. 10!

THE LAND TBANSPORT.—The poor woman whose case has created so much interest was in attendance this morning, by direction of the magistrate, and repeated that every word which was in the newspapers concerning her pitiable case was true. Her husband informed her that the allowance spoken of was to be transmitted to her every two months, payable in Loudon ; and so far front having received his money daily in the Crimea, he had, he declared to God, only received between six and seven shillings since he had left England. Mr. Arnold gave the poor woman his private card t ) take to the gentleman who came there yesterday, and directed her to show him the letter she had in her hand from her husband relative to his only having had th small amounts named since he left England, as there ap peared some mistake i❑ the matter. SERIOUS DIoTURBANCES AT ANGERS. An attempt at disturbance of a grave character was made on Sunday at Angers by a considerable number of men, having two ex-political prisoners of Belle-Isle, named Chauvin and Guerin, not long since pardoned by the Emperor, at their head. The Journal dc Maine et-Loire gives the following account of this strange affair :—" The habitual calm of this town (Ari -1 goers) has just been disturbed by a wild attempt, wnich, however, owing to the prudent mea sures of repression adopted, was confined to only one quarter of the town. Oct Sunday af ternoon the police had been informed that a manifesta tion would take place in the evening ; and in conse quence a strict watch was kept up everywhere. Up to midnight nothirg took place to ind'cate that the infor. :nation was correct ; but at that hour three police agents, in making their rounds, learned that some men were as sembling on the Mall. The agents proceeded quietly to the spot, and found that about 40 persons were there collected. The agents, crying out loudly for assistanc , at once rushed on the collected crowd, and being aide, by several other agents who happened to be near the assemblage was put to flight, and seven of them taken prisoners. At about the same time two attacks had beta made a little way out of Angers, one on two gendarmes who occupied the post of Trelaze, at d the other at a place called Les Plaines, between Angers and the commune of Ardoisiceres. In the first case, oi.e of the-gendarmes was taken irisoner by the rioter. , , other contriving to escape. lii the second case, not less than a thousand men, had assembled, armed with nitis .ets, pikes, axes, or sticks. These persons advanced, shouting and singing itisurrectiounry song, and forcei', he peaceable inhabitants to quit their houses and pro ceed with them. When they had arrived at the Made. trice, they paused to combine their !nude of att , ick, but the authorities had already adopted measures to I , affie their designs. A bout two in the morning the troops and the gendarmes, directed by the Prefect and b) General d'Angell, in command of the military division, had arrived at the extremity of the Faubourg Bressigny ; and there the General gave orders to the troops to charge the crowd and disperse it. That was done with suet resolution that a number of the rioters were made pri oners, and the rest fled in every direction. The two ringleaders, Chauvin arid Guerin, were amongst the number of the persons taken into custody. A cart filled with ammunition, gun-, and swords was seized and alien to the mairie. Same shots were interchanged in tins affair, arid M. Dubodan, substitute to the Procu feur General, was fired at with a pistol by one of tit, rioters almost at arin's length, but missed. The prisoners ~,,ere immediately taken to a place of surety, and the attempt was thus brought completely to a close. It is impossible to coi.ceive what madness could prompt an) number of men to hazard their lives in an affair like teis in a town where there are plenty of troops, and where the population only wants to be allowed to live indus triously and quietly," We have Cabul news to the 22d of June. The report of the death of Kokulidil Khan, the Cuief of Candahar, is not confirmed, but he is stated to be dangerously and intrigue is busy. The literary direction of the Quarterly Review is now -aid to be in the hands of the Rev. Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, the biographer and eon-in-law of the late Dr. Arnold, who for some time has been one of the chief contributors. The new screw steam-ship Royal Charter, built at Queensferry, Chester, for the Liverpool and Australia Steam Company (for whom Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Liverpool, are agents), and which struck when attempted to be launched on the 31st ult., was floated off yesterday morning's tide, and was expected to arrive in the Mersey last evening. The Royal Charter is con. Qiderably larger than the Great Britain, belonging to the same company. ACCIDENT TO THE STEADIER ONDINE.—We learned last night that this fine screw steamer, while on her pas sage from London to Dublin, sighted a vessel in distress on the Wicklow banks, when she steamed towards her for the purpose of towing her off On nearing the sailing vessel she ran into her, and sustained such injury that the captain found it necessary to put back fur the pur pose of getting the damage repaired. DISCOVERY OF THE DEAD BODY OF A GENTLEMAN ON WANDSWORTH COMMON.—lnformation has been given of the discovery of a dead body of a gentleman on Wandsworth Common, about 40 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches, dressed in a black shooting coat, speckled waiE4- coat, light cord trousers, white shirt, marked " C. Riuge," black hat, maker's name D. Cooper, Cross- Areet, Golden-square. The body was taken to Wands worth Union to be owned, and the inquest held. One of the latest effects of Austrian Influence in Swit zerland has been that the Lombard police forward pt,lotographs to the Swiss authorities of persons who are suspected of being politically opposed to the present state of things in the Austro-Italian States, and who are ii. consequence recommended to the especial care of the Republican magistracy. DEATH IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—The coroner ha,- received information of a very distre , sing occurrence on the London-bridge line of railway. An invalid get.tle man, named Ancell, took his seat in the seven a.m. Par liamentary train, to proceed to Brighton from the Lon don-bridge terminus, when, upon reaching the Threi, Bridges station, he suddenly became faint, and almo. t instantly expired. , aNTIQIIITIES FROM KERTCH.—A large quantity of ar ticles from the Kertch museum have found their way into Southampton. They consist mainly of ancient coins, pottery ware and glass, and metallic vessels. The pottery and vessels are specimens of vases, lamps., bottles, pitchers, tear vessels or laehryrnatorix , of . Etruscan, Greek, Roman, and other ancient workman ship. :1 Yesterday C o try o o L b T r e j o a N g ot the T p E e E rio P d a t o o n w N h c i E ch o t r he C o a col NT: r a the clergy of the province of Canterbury st ef od ° CPanterbury. at 12 o'clock his Grace the Archbishop Chamber, Westminster, where, the further prorogaed having been gone through, his grace further near.

CORN EXCHANGE. The present week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, have been ♦ery limited, viz., 610 quarters. By land car• riage, fresh up today, the receipts were limited, and the show of samples was small. Although the demand was by no means brisk, a steady business was transacted, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. The imports of foreign wheat have been limited, and the supply of that grain on offer was comparatively small. Holders were very firm, and Monday's currency was well supported. Floating cargoes were tolerably firm. The few samples of barley in the market realised ex. trerne rates. Malt was quite as dear as on Monday. Good fresh oats were rather dearer, and inferior parcels ruled steady. Beans, peas, sad flour were firm. ARRIVALS THIS WERE. Wheat. 610 Barley. ( Malt. Oats. Flour.

The boats were, fortunately, far beyond its reach, and the occupants escaped injury. The news of the catastrophe did not reach Hobart Town till the 11th, when Mr. Chapman, Lloyd's agent, directly chartered the Mimosa steamer and proceeded to the spot, where he found the captain and crew of the burnt ship collecting portions of her shattered cargo and placing it in security on the beach for the benefit of the underwriters. All that could be seen of the wreck was her topmast, which is just visible above water. There is strong reason to suspect that the ship was wilfully set on fire. One of the crew has been arrested on suspicion, and had undergone era• inination before the magistrates before the mail left. The passengers lost every portion of property belonging to them, and many of them were reduced to compara. _ dye mi6el7. The ship was Waved at 1,10710.
