CITY, Two o'CL )oK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a hardening tendency ; prices of Americans were fully id. per lb., and Surats 1-16 d. per lb. dearer than last week. The sales were 12,000 bales, 1,000 export and 500 on speculation, com prising 370 Pernam and Maranham 5.1 d. to 71d., 2,300 Bahia 52d. to 6d., 450 Egyptian 51d. to 9d., and 2,090 Surats Std. to 41d. per lb. In the Rail way Share Market little business was transacted, still prices were not only well supported but a degree higher. The latest intelligence from Vienna relative to the new Credit Bank gives the following. The society of Austrian nobles, who wero to furnish a moiety of the sum required to establish the new bank, had not again met, which had created some surprise. It appears that when the committee formed to represent them had engaged to subscribe the required sum of 30,000,000 florins, they asked for greater privileges than were to be granted to the other large proprietors. Some arrangement, however, must have been come to privately, for the Minister of Finance announced, on Saturday, the 3d inst., that the Emperor had ratified the concession of establishing the bank to the Princes Schwarzenberg, Auersberg, Furstenberg, Count Choteck, Louis Haber, and the firm of Roths child ; the capital to be 1,000,000 florins. Recent accounts from Breslau state that large quantities of wheat were arriving there from Hun gary, to be deposited in the local depots ; and in consequence a considerable fall in prices was ex pected throughout the Silesian grain markets. The last fishing boat of the season has arrived at Ostend. The imports of stock fsh into Belgium have risen this year to 6,438 tons from the Dogger bank, and 8,781 tons from Feroe. On the Paris Bourse yesterday, previous quota tions declined from 10 to 25 centimes, and Rail way Shares fell with some degree of rapidity, ex cepting those of the North Midland and Grand Central, which rose 2f. 50c. Otherwise the Money Market was tolerably easy, and the rumour of negotiations for peace, which was industriously 1 . 2 circulated by spectators, gave some firmness to ruling prices. Shares of the Credit Mobilier and 40 the Austrian Railway Association were particu larly affected with a downward tendency. Nothing s t . of importance had taken place during the day in 2 1 the grain and flour markets ; the supply w as equal /.o'2s' to the demand, and the bakers and millers were st. not inclined to lay in stocks. 50 The Bankers' Magazine for the present month 25 contains a very interesting article upon " Austrian 100 Financial Progress." As the banking and other 2 5 1 operations at Vienna recently have attracted con siderable attention, and have had so much influence upon monetary affairs both here and in France, the information afforded is very acceptable. The monetary crisis of 1855, and various other subjects, are also fully remarked upon. The settlement of the account for English Stocks being fixed for the Bth inst., a contraction of busi ness is observable, and quotations of the Funds are now narrowly watched by brokers and others. This morning there has been some flatness, but the decline is scarcely noticeable, Consols being 881 to 88 3 / 4 for money, and 881 to 88j for ac count. After the account is adjusted, the market will no doubt assume a firmer aspect, as the Money Market is daily becoming easier, and there are no longer any unfavourable rumours in refer ence to the United States. The New Three per Cents. are in request, and have brought 884 to 88.1, and the Reduced are sm to 874. Exchequer Bills remain at Bs. to 4s. discount. Foreign Securities are very dull, and in several cases nominal. Grenada Active Bonds are steady at 191 to 20. Sardinian Bonds are 85, being firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 g, which is to I per cent. lower than yesterday. French Threes are 65, with the exchange at 25 25. Dutch Bonds are at 63i for the 21 per Cents., and at 92 and 92i for the 4 per Cents. The Spanish American Bondholders, at their meeting yesterday, passed a series of resolutions expressing their disappointment at the non-fulfil ment of the terms entered into by the Government of New Grenada for liquidating its foreign debt, requesting the committee to urge their claim on that Government, and thanking the Earl of Claren don for his attention to their interests. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, GI to 7 ; Mexican, 19a to ti ; Peruvian, 74 to 75 ; ditto Three per Cents., 53 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 83; Spanish New Deferred, 19k to ; ditto Three per Cents., 37i to 8 ; ditto Certificates, 41 to ; ditto Pas sive, 51 to In Railway Shares there is no particular feature, yesterday's prices being generally current. Great Northern A Stock isll. better, and North-Eastern Berwick are somewhat lower. The French undertakings are neglected. Great Western of Canada rule steady. Mines and Banks are firm, and also the miscel laneous shares. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLCO - • ( Prom the Official List.) Rnones* dons 8 per Cont. Reduced Annuitin.„ B7A f 3 per Cent.

PRODUCE MARKETS. —The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce markets state that there was increased activity, and that the advanced quo tations for sugar were maintained with much firmness. The traLlsactions both in raw and refined had been ex tensive, speculative purchases having augmented. In other articles business had not proved important, but rates exhibited strength. The letters from Rouen men tion that the market for manufactures was inanimate. SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.) RAILWAYS. Ti M.F.TA,I4. Aberde n. Imbg. &Aug. Iflou. and Esitn. ' hlfast & :Ballymena.

Manch.. P,xtn. and. Matlock Middlosbro' 1: Redear. An associal ion has recently bceu formed at Manchester, With (be ah , ve title, having for its object the promotion of more frequent communication between the principal officers of all railway companies, for the purpose of interchange of information and friendly offices, and securing the comforts and conveniences of a club-house for miscellaneous meet ' ings. The association already includes a large proportion of the principal officers of the railways of this country, and it is intended, we believe, as the precursor of a more ex tended and complete establishment in London as soon as circumstances are deemed favourable for its removal to the metropolis. The institution was inaugurated by a dinner at the Clarence Hotel, Manchester, on Friday evening, pre sided over by Mr. Edward Watkins, the general manager of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, and president of the club. Amongst the guests were Mr. Hindley, M.P. Mr. B. Ni c h o ll s , mayor o f M anc h ester ; Messrs. G. Wilson, J. Heron, Edmund Buckley, Malcolm present and m es amongst n A gs tct. Sherrill, W. F e nt on , L. L ees, Jonathan Mellor, and W. T. Brleasceknitocthe members of the o of the North-Eastern association Railway; Mr. K. Morison, manager of the Railway Clear ing House ; Dr. Harrison, of Manchester ; Mr. J. Bien kiusop, Liverpool; Messrs. M'Connell, Woodhouse, C. Cooper, Poole, Ranishottom, Redy, Norris Perrin, and Noden, of the North-Wester n R a il way ; Messrs. Eborall (general manager), Smithells, and Perring, of the East Lancashire ; Mr. Sturrock, of the Great - Northern ; Mr. Cawkwell, of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway; Mr. Ashcroft, of the South-Western, &c. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " Prosperity to the Rail way Club," which, ho said, he regarded as the toast of the evening, said the object in view in founding the association was the progress and perfecting of railway enterprise. Those who bad originated it believed that, in all such wide spread and important enterprises as that in which they were engaged, all such associations as the present, bring in.- the various members together for the purposh of inter changing the results of their daily experiences, and also for the purpose of exchanging what is perhaps even better —those kindly offices which ought to pass between the members of an important profession, must be useful. He begged to propose Prosperity to the Railway Club and to Rail way Enterprise." The MAYOR of MANCHESTER, in responding to "The Health of the Mayor and Corporation of Man Chester," said all he bad seen and heard siuce he came into the room led him to wish the Railway Club every possible success. Mr. HINDLEY responded to " The Health of the Members of Parliament for the District." He said he thought, when railway people proposed the health of members of Parlia ment, they were indeed returning good for evil. Mr. M. Ross responded to " Prosperity to the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce and Commercial A ssociatio'n." He said there was a community of interests betlean such commercial bodies as those he now represented and the railways, and if they had failed in some instances to fulfil the objects for which they were associated, he believed it was from no fault of their own, but from the fact that those who might have bend fitted by their assist ance had.not availed themselves of any service they could perform. (Before Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Mr. Justice Wightm. an, and Mr. Justice Erie.) POWELL AND ANOTHER V. HYDE. Sir F. Thesiger moved that the verdict in this case should be entered for the defendant. The action was tried at the last Guildhall sittings, before Lord Camp bell, and was an action on a policy of insurance on goods in a ship on a voyage from Galatz to London. The ver dict was entered for the plaintiff, with liberty to move to enter it for the defendant. The ship in question sailed from Galatz on the 17th of March, and when at the mouth of the Ishmail, where there is a Russia❑ fort on one side and a Turkish fort on the other, and the ship in question having English colours flying, the Russians compelled her to come to an anchor, and imprisoned her crew, alleging afterwards that it was done by mistake, considering the ship a Turkish ship. The action was brought on the clause of the Charter party, which stated " free from capture and seizure, and the consequences of any attempt thereof." The Court granted a rule nisi. BUCKSFIELD AND OTHERS V. BELL AND OTHERS. Mr. Watson, Q.C., moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not take place in this case on the ground of misdirection on the part of the learned judge, and that the verdict was against evidence. The action was for a nuisance arising from injury al leged to be inflicted on the plantiff's land by the work ing of the defendants'.coal mine, and was tried at New castle, before Baron Platt. Rule granted, JEFFREYS V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Keating, Q.C.„ moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not take place in this case on the ground of misdirection of the learned judge and on affi davits. The action was tried at the last Gloucester Assizes, before Chief Baron Pollock, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff for 4701. The action was one of trover brought by the plaintiff against the defendants for the conversion of 10 railway waggons that had been the property of a person named Owen, who had become bankrupt. Both the plaintiff and defendants claimed the property under a sale from the bankrupt. Rule granted. Midid.Bradfd Newmarket Bury Exten NAL Est.s p.c. Do. 6 ner et. Do. Fixeds p • Prest. & `JV yrs Do.

Mr. G. WILSON, Mr. MORISON, of the clearing-hons 3, and Mr. E. BUCKLEY, spoke in connection with the subs& (Brent toasts. Evans, Q.C., moved to set aside the verdict in the case which was for the defendant, and that a new trial be granted. The action was tried at the last Car marthen assizes, before Lord Campbell, and was for the account of the Carmarthen Steeplechase Stakes', and the dispute arose relative to the pedigree of the plaintiff's horse. The horse had been named at the Aberyts whh Steeplechase as the "Colonel," under a mis take, and was entered at the Carmarthen races as "Master Frederick," without allusion to the former name. The learned counsel, in moving for the rule, said the verdict was given on the trial against evi dence, and by the improper conduct of the jury. He entered at great length on the evidence adduced on the trial, and with reference to the conduct of the jury said he had the evidence of the bailiff who retired with them, who stated that the jury (which consisted only of eleven, from the others in coin t being in some way interested in the race), before entering into a considera tion of the case, agreed to decide the case by vote, five voted one way, and five another, the foreman giving the casting vote. Mr. SHERRIFF, of the North-Eastern Railway, proposed " The Press." Ho referred to the advantages afforded by the newspaper parcel system, and trusted that the more the press and the railways were brought into contact with each other, the good feeling batween them would be increased. (Hear, hear.) Previous to the conclusion of the proceedings, tho chair man read a letter from the Earl of Yarborough, expressing high approval of the association, and regretting that his present indisposition would prevent his attendance at the opening dinner. H.M.S. Pigmy has received instructions to cruise in the mouth of the Elbe, to look out for contra band of war. She is said to have already picked up a Dutchman, with a cargo of sulphur, bound for Hamburg. CRYSTAL PALACE. SHILLING DAY.—Nov. 5.

FREEDOM OF THE CITY OF GLASGOW TO LORD ELGIN.—At the meeting of the Glasgow Town Council last week, the Lord Provost gave notice that he would move, at an early meeting, that the freedom of the city be conferred on the Earl of Eigin, as a tribute of appro. bation for his eminent colonial services, particularly as Governor-General of Canada. REDUCTION OF POSTAGE ON LETTERS FOR VIC TORIA, AUSTRALIA.—GeneraI Post Office, Nov., 1855. —On and from the 7th instant, the postage on letters addressed to the colony of Victoria (Australia), whether conveyed by packet or by private ship, will be again reduced to sixpeece when not exceeding half an ounce in weight ; one shilling when exceeding half an ounce and not exceeding one ounce ; and so on, increasing one shilling for each ounce or fraction of an ounce. This postage will include both the British and Colonial rates, and it may be paid in 'advance or the letters may be forwarded unpaid, at the option Of the sender. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES AT A RAILWAY STATION. —No The Chief Baron said that was a sufficient ground on which to grant a new trial. The Court would grant it on that point now, and would, no doubt, do so on the other point, after consulting Lord Campbell, who. tried the cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE —(This Day.) SOUTII WARK. UNFOUNDED CHARGE AGAINST A RESPECTABLE MAR RIED FEMALE.—William Baker, an ill-looking elderly man, who stated himself to be a plasterer, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with assaulting and annoy ing Elizabeth Keene, the wife of a searcher in the Cus toms, under the following circumstances : less than three robberies of passengers by the South Devon Railway were perpetrated last Thursday at the Newton-Abbott station. A party of pickpockets, with whom was a woman, arrived by the north mail at Teign mouth at half-past 11 o'clock. They got out upon the platform, where they stole 121. from a lady's pocket. They re-entered the train and proceeded to Newton- Abbott, where a lady lost ten Si. notes, another person 48 sovereigns, and a third a sum which is not known. The thieves have not yet been captured. RUSSIAN NEWSPAPERS.—The first Russian newspaper was founded in 1703. Peter the Great not only took part in making it up, butalso himself revised the proofs, as may be seen by several sheets still in existence, which are corrected in his handwriting. Only two complete copies of the first year's impressions of this journal exist, and both are in the imperial library at St. Petersburg. The chief librarian, Baron Modesto von Korff, ordered the numbers of this journal, as corrected and edited by Peter the Great, to be republished for the centenary commemorating the foundation of the Moscow Univer sity (January 27). This reimpression forms one volume in Bvo, and it contains besides an historical summary of Russian journalism. —Le Nord. GAURATT, THE BANK BOBBER.—Extract of a letter from Melbourne, Aug. 17: —" Garrett, who was brought back here from London, has just been tried, and found guilty of the daring attack and robbery of the bank here, and sentenced to death. The career of this daring con vict has been a remarkable one. Daniel Garratt was a nobleman's valet in London, where be gained the sob; i quet of D'Orsay.' Dissipated habits led him to a con federacy for. plunder on railroads ; and his seizure by Superintendent Collard and Mr. Nash, when heavily armed, in 1845, is fresh in public recollection. That confederated gang was broken up by the exertions of Mr. Nash, but led to expensive lawsuits. Mitchell, of Irish notoriety, encountered Garrett at Berninda, and relates the enormous plunder he had perpetrated on the rail roads, and the ruin which had followed on those who pursued the prosecutions in the interests of the company and the travelling public." AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH RUSSIA.—The Russians receive great supplies of arms and ammunition from this part of America, or from all New England. They have bought all the saltpetre that could be got hold of, through means of agents, and this has had a great effect on our market. Last spring there was so much saltpetre on hand here that all the places in the United States' warehouses appropriated for its stowage were filled to overflowing, and much of it lad to be stored where it was damaged, or in danger of being so. Now, not a bag of it can be had. It has all been takeri on Rus sian account, and shipped to Hamburg. This is not all. Powder and arms have been sent to Russia in im mense quantities, A famous clipper ship that sailed from New York " for San Francisco and a market," some months ago, took out nothing but Hazard powder, Colt's pistol's, and similar Connecticut " notions," the " mar ket" being the most convenient port in which they can be landed for the Czar's use. A large quantity of powder is now being put up in such a way as to be mistaken for log wood by careless examiners, and will be sent to Russia from Portland. The intention is to get into the Baltic after the English fleet shall have left it, it being sup posed that there will be as much time left for action then as there was gained by British slowness last spring. If the Samuel Appleton—which vessel every one here be lieves to have had arms and ammunition for her cargo in part—could get in ahead of the English, it is not un reasonably inferred that there will be time enough for operations at the close of the season to admit of some dashing skipper landing powder enough at Port Baltic to blow all Europe to pieces, if it could only be used directly for that purpose. The saltpetre that the Rus sians have bought here all came from Calcutta, so that the English may have the satisfaction of knowing that their dominions have supplied the Czar with this most important material of war. Why did not she shut down the gate a year agog By the steamer which came out last week, I am told instructions were sent to some of the principal British consuls in America to inquire into the matter. That is England all over ; the mischief being done, she proceeds to show bow it could have been prevented.—Boston Correspondence of New York Herald.

The present incumbent is in his 51st year. The complainant, a very respectable-looking young female, stated that she lived in Horsemonger-lane, and about 10 o'clock last night, she was proceeding along the Borough-road towards borne, when the prisoner came behind her and seized her roughly by the shoulder, and asked her to come back with him. She was much frightened at his uncouth appearance, and told him to leave her, as she knew nothing of him. He stall per. sisted in laying bold of her, and because she would not return with him, he accused her at first with steal ing a sovereign from him, and afterwards said she bad stolen three sovereigns. She was so frightened, that she ran into a shop crying, when he came after her, and attempted to seize hold of her again, but, fortunately* a constable came to her protection, and took the pri soner into custody. Mr. )l Combe asked whether he was sober ? The complainant said that he appeared much under the influence of liquor, lo ut his conduct so frightened her that she had hardly recovered herself. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he was ex tremely sorry for his bad conduct towards the lady, and he was willing to make every apology. The fact was, be got too much to drink last night and was robbed by some female, which caused him to accuse the lady by mistake. Mr. Combo asked him what he was ? He replied that he was a plasterer, and he was tho roughly ashamed of his conduct. He hoped his worship would excuse him this time. Mr. Combe told him he certainly should not do any thing of the kind, as he had been guilty of gross bru tality to a respectable married female, who was bound to be protected. Under all the circumstances, he should sentence him to pay a fine of 408., and in default of pay ment to be committed to the House of Correction for one m onth. St. 'Ui S; IC." 2 all 1111 5 all it.

In this shifting, changing, ever-varying world, where so many things are doubtful, so many difficult to be averred, one thing at least is certain ; and it is ibis, that the famous interrogatory which every day appears in the advertising columns of the Tones, "Do you double up your perambu lators?" must be answered with an indignant negative if addressed to Sir Cha r l es N ap i er. Sc' far is he from doubling up his perambulators, that he is flinging them out with a freedom, a force, and an energy not to be surpassed by any gentleman of his weight a-3d years within the four seas of England. Whether he is getting himself in training to enter the lists with that amiable and ac complished lady in America who has w agere d to roll a wheelbarrow a hundred milesin as many hours is more than we can undertake to say, but should he feel in clined to engage in the ennobling strife we, after what we have this week seen of his pedestrian achievements in the hailliwick of Southwark, should be disposed to back tho gallant admiral at any reasonable odds. He has been per forming miracles of locomotion such as might provoke the envy of that athletic pedestrian so famed in the literature of the nursery, who took seven leagues in a single step, arid cleared a mail-coach and four horses at a bound. If Sir Charles did not capture Swoaborg he has done the next best thing; ho has bombarded Southwark, and that, too, with a vigour and velocity which have exceeded the ex pectations of his friends and carried dismay into the camp of the enemy. " Panting time speeds after him in vain." Now a t Rotherhithe, now at Bermondsey, pre sently at Blackfriars, then at St. Saviour's, anon at St. George the Martyr's; he has been flying about like bottled ale in all directions, and the difficulty would be to say where he has not been. He has sallied forth on a new crusade, and if his performances are not precisely those of the knights and minstrels of the middle ages, they are assuredly somewhat analagous, and he has shown that he is animated with a kindred inspiration. If he has not gone about like them cleaving giants, behead ing serpents, slaying dragons, routing armies, shat tering fleets, and dissolving enchantments, he has under. taken tasks scarcely less chivalrous and not a whit less hazardous. He has been bearding power in its high places, running a tilt against official routine, try ing a fall with the dark demons of misrule, flinging his glove in the teeth of traitors, and breaking a lance with the windmills of the Admiralty; and in all these enter prises he has displayed an amount of juvenile energy which, if he were a soldier instead of a sailor, would have ruined him at the Horse Guards, and destroyed his pro spects of a field-marshal's baton. Now this all cares of having a grievance. " What is a gentleman without his recreations ?" was a favourite sentiment of George IV. Might we not rather ask, " What is a gentleman without his grievances ?" Heavens ! what a cue to passion is a grievance ! what a soul of action it infuses into a man ! what young blood it sheds into his veins ! what Bre it gives to his eye, what wings to his feet, what fervour to his tongue ! . Sir Charles Naples is that king amongst his fellows an ill - used man who has sworn that there shall bone peace in the land till Iris wrongs aro acknowledged and his injuries redressed. If not the hero of a hundred fights, he is at leant the hero of a hundred grievances, and ho will have satisfaction for them all, or, as his arch-enemy would say, "Know the reason why." His years are three score and ten, but what of that? Inspirited and invigorated by the sense of in jury, he feels them no more than if each year were a thistledown. He has renewed his youth like the eagle, and on thee, thou recreant Knight of Netherby, his dazzling eye is fixed. The storm without is but the faint external image of the commotion which swells in the breast of the man whom in an evil hour thou didst injure. But the day of retribution is at hand. During the greater portion of this week the weather in London was terrific. There was a paroxysm of tempest —the wind wailed and howled through the deserted streets, and the rain came down in floods which threat ened to wash out the policemen. But high above the storm, in the dead waste and middle of the night, rose the wild accents of Sir Charles Napier, like those of an aveng ing angel. Sometimes they were heard to proceed from the back parlour of the "George," sometimes from the front balcony of the "Pig and Whistle," occasionally from Mr. Walker's corrugated iron manufactory in Grange-road, but, come from what quarter they might, they were always and everywhere the words of the avenger—accusing, de nouncing, rebuking. There he stood, the sad genius of the raging storm—wet, but witty; cold, but unconquerable. What cared he for loose slates, flying chimney pots, or shivering constables? Not a potato. Ho is the Lear of politics— " Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks ! rage ! blow ! You cataracts, and burr:canes, spout Ti!l you have drenched our steeples, drowned the cocks ! " A man with a grievance can look and laugh at all that. But what means this tumult in a seaman's veins ? Nicking Malicho ; it meaueth mischief. It means--and see to it, ye base transpontine burgesses, doomed to vegetate in rank luxuriance on the wrong side of the river !—no sleep fur Southwark till Sir Charles and Sir James have had it out on the floor of the House of Commons ! Listening senates must arbitrate between them. Sir Charles is now the right man in the wrong place. Send him to Parliament, where alone he can effectively vindicate his fair fame, and then we shall have the right man in the right place, ac cording to the requirements of that everlasting apothegm which threatens to become almost as great a nuisance as the " Popping Weasel" and the " Ratcatcher's Daughter." Seriously, wo wis success to Sir Charles Napier, and should be glad to sue him returned. In the first place, the feud between him and Sir James is not a mere personal quarrel. It is a question of some national interest, and sooner or later it will have to be decided on its merits. It is tit that it should be calmly and carefully investigated by ' Parliament in the presence of both parties, and that the public, to use a vulgar but expressive phrase, should " know the rights of it." There is a prevalent opiuiou that Sir Charles experienced unjust treatment from the Admiralty, and that for this Sir James Graham is largely responsible. Let this opinion be refuted or established as the fact may justify, for, as a third knight, a certain Sir Isaac Newton was wont to observe, " the whole world must bow before a fact." In the secend place, putting the quarrel altogether out of the ques tion, we believe that it would conduce to the in terests of the country that such a man as Sir Chas. Napier should have a seat in the house. He is not a revolutionist —sailors seldom are—but he is liberal and progressive. He is eccentric and impulsive, but fearless and single hearted, and if it be true, as he avers, that in the Admi ralty, which is a most important department of the State, the public money is squandered arid patient merit de pressed, it is right that there should be in Parliament at least one man unfettered by office to expose and denounce such abuses. At one of his midnight meetings this week, while the wind was blowing and the rain falling around him, he assured his hearers that the Admiralty depart ment was even now full of abuses, and that they wanted a man in the House of Commons to expose them. If they did not return such men these things would go on till there came a great crash, and then people would say, "Who would have thought it?" It will be pleasant to see the Admiral slouching up the house once more with his battered old white hat and his short trousers, arid gripping the floor with his toes as if he were walking with out shoes and trying to keep his footing on a wet forecastle in a high gale. Moreover, the set-to between him and Sir James Graham will be worth all the money—the contrast between the two men, both in mind and body, is so dra matically striking—the one round, f a t, and sailor-like ; the other tall, stately, and patrician ; the ono frank, bluff, hearty, and out-spoken ; the other high, haughty, reseaved, and polished; yet, withal, exceedingly courteurs, his courtesy, however, enveloping the deadly snake of a most envenomed irony, like the warns blanket wrapped round a cobra capella. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE WEST CROYDON AND MITCJJAM RAIL WA Y. SPECIAL VERDICT. Yesterday Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, resumed, at the Plough, Beddington, the adjourned in quest on the body of John Bingham, the unfortunate engine-driver who lost his life at the accident which oc curred on the 24th of last month, on the newly-formed West Croydon and Mitcham Railway. The inquest was adjourned from the 26th ult., to allow time for the reco very of the other parties, who were also seriously in jured. Lieut.• Col. Yolland, the Government Inspector of railways, was present at the request of the coroner, as were also Mr. Sleight, the secretary, and Mr. Faithful, the solicitor of the company, and several other railway officials. George Weller, a fireman, said—On Wednesday, the 24th of October, I was employed as stoker to the de ceased, on the Croydon and Wimbledon line, which had opened three days. The train consisted of an engine and four carriages. About a quarter of a mile from the junction the engine ran off the line at a time when we were going 20 or 26 miles au hour. I heard Mr. J. Craven, the superintendent over the locomotive department, tell the deceased that he was not to look at the time-table, hut to run cautiously and steady. He told him that on Monday morning. The engine ran off about thirty yards from the metals before it turned over. It fell to the right. One carriage, a third-class one, was next to the engine, which was also thrown over across the rails, the coupling-chains giving way. I did not notice whether the other carriages were separated. They were all off the line, b u t no t overturne d . Th e m oment train went off deceased said, " She is off the road." thel fell with the engine, and Mr. Whitley fell on me, between the fire-box and the tank. I saw the deceased killed.

There bad been seven trips go off, as there had been no par tic,i the train would performed that day by th e same driver. There was a slight curve at that pa r t o f the line. I noticed one . of the rails bent up and turned over the front of the driving-wheel in the form of circle, on the right side..l,tL not broken, on l y fixed, but I did not notice whatin ' part. The rail was had forced out t y he bent.wooden key i think the jerking key between the chairngifg over the e n d o f the metal the fly-wheel caught and the end of th e r • ad. I think that as we were p t l i: e s end of th e rail and account for the twiste d engine goingi t u p. Nothing else wa s found to off. By the Coroner—l know of nothing else to show the cause of the occurrence. John Little, a guard in the employ of the Brighton and South Coast Railway ; Mr. Donald Fraser, inspec tor of the P division of police ; and Cuthbert 0 liver, time-keeper and foreman over the plate-layers on the London, Brighton, and South Coast line, having been examined, Colonel Yolland, one of the Government inspectors of railways, said—ln consequence of notice having been served on theßoard of Trade for opening the line, I made an appointment to inspect it on the 11th of last Sept. I went at the appointed time to the Wimbledon station, but not finding the officials present I walked some dis tance down the line to look into its state. Finding that the signals were not erected I was going to return to London, when an engine from Croydon came down, and I proceeded from Wimbledon to Croydon, and then to Loniicn. I ma d e my repor t th e same day, and the of in W Board of T r ad e mad e an or d er fo r the postponem jo en e t of the opening of the li n e fo r a month consequence the incompleteness of the signals at the irashegejletilon am d Croydon junctions. The rails were laid down like most i others in the kingdom.

I then informed the repre i sentatives of the lessee that as soon as such arrangements were made I would recommend the Board of Trade to : sanction the opening. On the 9th of October I received notice of the signals having been put up, and on the 11th the board allowed the line to be opened. Some time ought, in my opinion, to elapse before a new line is opened for passenger traffic. Goods trains ought to pass continually over it before passengers are conveyed over it. Great care ought also to be taken to watch the lines, especially in wet weather, as it is only by passing along that the weak points are found out. I believe that the accident was caused main'y by the speed the engine was going at. The curve is slight, and the engine does not appear to have gone off at that place. My impression is, from the waving of the rails, it was owing to the en gine oscillating from side to side, and finding a weak point tore up the metal. It is, however, possible that a key might have Coto out. By the Coroner—l have no idea that any one is cul pable. Thu weakest part of the line has been sought Out and found. Looking at the state of the atmosphere, I think the present rate of speed is objectionable. I think the speed ought not to exceed 20 miles an hour on this line at present, ncr until the earthwork is fully consoli dated. After that time the trains could, of course, run faster. Mr. Craven, locomotive foreman, said that be told tLe deceased not to work by the time-table, but to go care fully, and use his own judgment. The deceased did not at any time tell him that the line was insecure. He rode with him the greater part of Monday, for the pur pose of lookiug after the state of the line, and he found two or three slight defects, which were repaired by the platelayers. - The learned Coroner summed up, and said it would be for the jury, after the evidence they had heard, to deci•le whether due care and precaution had been used in constructing the line, and afterwards in working the trains. They would also have to say whether the driver was going at that reckless speed as to endanger his own life or the safety of those under his charge. The court was then cleared of strangers, and after de liberating for some considerable time, the jury returned the following special verdict :—"That the deceased met his death by accident, but we (the jury) recommend that the maximum speed, until the line becomes consolidated, should no be greater than 20 miles an hour, agreeably to the suggestions of Lieut,-ColoneLYolland, the Go vernment inspector." • The proceedings, which lasted nearly six hours, Vita terminated. TOT NESS ELECTION. TOTNESS, Monday.—The Mayor (Mr. Iluxham) opened the proceedings at the Guildhall, Totnesz, at 11 o'clock this morning. Captain PORTMAN, R.N., in proposing Lord Gifford, recommended the vigorous prosecution of the war with Russia,. Mr. J. DERRY, banker, who seconded the proposition, said that the borough had been well represented by Lord Seymour, and he had no doubt that the opinions of the present candidate being similar would give egaal satis. faction. The resolution having been carried unanimously, LA-d GIFFORD rose, and was received with great en thusiaui ; having recently expounded his political opinions to them there was no occasion to enter at length upon that subject again. He coincided entirely with the popular feeling against the encroachments of the great Northern Power, and should support Lord Palmerston in his efforts to obtain a creditable peace, His late competitor in the borough. Mr. Mackenzie, had by himself or his friends been represented as a Conservative in public and an ex treme Liberal in private. Soon after he (Lord Gifford) became of age he was offered a county seat in the House of Commons, provided he would advocate Protectionist principles. This he declined, not having had sufficient opportunities to judge properly on the great political questions of the day. Since then he had travelled much, and had spent four years in India, where much experience was obtained. The Conservative party had frequently opposed all progress ; they were against Roman Catho lic Emancipation, repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, free trade, &c., and are now against the Emanci pation of the Jews. They even grumbled in private against free tia,le, although corn was ranging up to 100 s. per quarter. He was no blind adherent of Lord John Russell's, and could not admire all his acts, especially during the last four years ; but it was that nobleman whom the country had to thank for most of those useful and salutary measures which had passed the House of Commons in the present time. He (Lord Gifford) held the utmost respect for the opinions of the Duke of So merset, but he was absolutely independent of him, and should follow Lis own political opinions, whatever was the consequence. The long friendship which had existed between him and the duke ought to be no bar to his being the repeesentative of the borough of Totness, His lordship concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the Mayor, which, being seconded by Mr. Ferris, was car ried unanimously, and the business, which occupied about an hour and a-half, was closed. THE CASE OF TEE ROYAL MAIL SHIP MERMAID, AT PERNAMBUCO. The Inquiry into the conduct of the captain of this vessel was resumed yesterday, at Liverpool. The first witness called was Mr. John Wilson Green, who knew the Mermaid well, and was certain that the water she made every 22 hours could easily have been pumped out in two hours. He certainly should not have hesitated to have acted as the captain had done under the circumstances he was placed in at Pernambuco. Mr. James, emigration surveyor, at Liverpool, de. posed that he surveyed the Mermaid in January last, previou • sto her departure for Melbourne. She was then thoroughly caulked, and was in every way efficient for a ship of her class. She was in dry dock and was coppered. She was kneed and fastened under his and Mr. Hasel den's inspection. Would not consider a ship of her class mak'ag 7 inches of water per hour unsafe. With the two pumps on board they could pump out 6 tons of water in five minutes. Had seen the ship in dry dock since her re turn. Observed a leakage next to the keel and the foremast on the larboard side. Ordered the copper to be taken off that spot, and there was then a rush of water about three inches in width. It arose from the neglect of the caulkers at that particular spot. The ves sel had since been stripped of all her copper, but they had discovered nothing more ; the ship's bottom was thoroughly caulked. The hole was the size of the seam. It would be impossible to say how many gallons of water would pass through it'in a minute. Nt t 250 oer. ta.inly. One of Mr. Miller's men, who did the work of the ship, would be to blame for the hole. Captain Read, manager of the Woodside Ferry Boats, deposed that he knew the Mermaid well. Her usual draft of water was 10 to 20 feet, with a moderate cargo. If she was drawing 16?-, feet of water, it would be neces sary to lighten her fully from 12 to 121 feet to take her over the bar at Pernambuco, and from his knowledge of her as a crank ship, he did not think she could have been lightened to 121 feet to cross the bar with safety. Evidence having been given that the cargo had been delivered without damage, and that no claims had yet been made, and Mr. Hall having addressed the bench for Captain Dewey, Captain Robertson said he should just state tliesub. : stance of his report to the Board of Trade at once, viz. I consider from the ev id ence a dduced in thinssicdaseera,tiaonnd, after taking all the circumstances into that the captain was justified in prosecuting to England in the Mermaid ; and, so far from being to c the voyage o blame, I consider that under the try in g circumstances he did all that could be reasonably expected from a person in his responsible situation. The decision was received with marks of approval. ALICE GRAY, THE IMPOSTOR,' h a ve be en womanp ublishedh wo to h the s tEr r e e C e t e t n h t a l y at tracted t the extSrtsa Statements much attention extraordinary young throughout the country by her clever but heartless impostures is a native of Limerick, and that her mother, a very honest woman, resides there. Also that her father, who is dead, bore the name of Hag gard, and was from Oilgate, in the county of Wexford. The Mandeester Guardian of yesterday, however, says : —Mary Atkinson, alias Alice Gray, is the daughter of a poor but industrious man, a mason, o r wailer, in Ken dal, who ma n y years ago died suddenly of cholera, Mary Atkinson, a t her father's death, sought the protection of an aunt, named Askew, a widow, at Old H u tt on about five miles from Kendal, and who took her under her rouf. "Alice" had lived with her aunt—who pos sessed a small farm—only a short period, when the latter disposed of her farming stock and agricultural imple ments, the proceeds being deposited in the Bank of Westnaorelaud. " Alice " knew this, and in order to oL tain the money she represented to her aunt that there was a kind-hearted lady named Robson, living at AT bleside, who took great interest in money belonging widows, and she would give twice as much interest and that as the bank to any widow of good reputation Mrs. Robson had made several inquiries re sp ecting integrity of Mrs. Askew.

Some weeks prier to this fraud being discovered, Mary Atkinson had entered upon a house in Kendal, furnished i t i n style, and then disposed of the furniture, by night, to private individuals, and by thew means defrauded several tradesmen who had placed confidence in her re presentations. She also induced a lady, a resident of Kendal, to entrust her with a package of clothing for the lady's son, which she offered to carry to the metro polis, where, she asserted, she wan going to receive a large amo un t o f money.
