?!7% AND 00TVIYIERCIAT., INTELLICENc7-,, CITY, Two o'CLooL The Liverpool Cotton. Market, yesterday, closed firmly, at a slight advance in prices. The sales were 'estimated at 15,000 bales (of which 6,000 were taken by the exporters and 6,000 by speculators). The Railway Share Market closed with a firm feeling, and a fair amount of business was trans acted. Accounts from the grain market at Brussels state that there were larger arrivals than usual yesterday, which caused a further decliao in prices, but the - sales were of limited extent, as the buyers expect to have grain cheaper before the end of the month. The ruling prices were 31 fr. to 34 fr. per hec tolitre for wheat ; 18fr. to 20fr. per ditto for rye ; and 7 fr. to 8 fr. for oats. From the imports re turns of grain into Belgium, it appears that the gross amount is much greater this year than it was during 1855, at the same time the large quantities which have been transmitted to the interior reduce the actual amount to about the same. This is the case parti cularly at Antwerp, where the imports are chiefly conveyed by railway into the neighbouring states. The following table gives the imports of cereals during the last fortnight of September and the nine months ended on the 30th of that month :- 16th to 30th Sept. Ist Jan. to 33th Sept. Kilos. Floe.

The Bank of England Return for the week end ing the 4th inst. is exceedingly unfavourable, as will be seen by the subjoined particulars. In the bullion the decline is nearly a million sterling, .owing to the withdrawal on account of the Bank of France. The other securities, and the reserve of notes, in consequence of the severe pressure for money, have undergone a material change. The next statement, however, is likely to be still more unsatisfactory.

It was supposed that the unfavourable tank of England Return would have had a depress ing effect, but, beyond a little flatness anterior to the official opening of the market, this was /lot the case. Consols have been as high as 92 to for money, and 92g- for ac count, and they are now 92 921 and 921 21, respectively. Exchequer Bills are 4s. to Bs. Premium, and the Bonds 981.

The advance in some instances is ss. to 10s. The French, Belgian, East Indian, and Canadian, all rule at a slight enhancement. In Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous no change of importance has occurred.

Sir William is also to be invited to a public dinner in Kirkcudbright on the 25th ins.t.—Edinburult Courant. A lIERICAN Menarrs.—The commercial advices yes terday by the Atlantic describe a slight decline in the stock market, with the exception of Illinois Central, which had advanced to 1121. The 1 85,060/. of specie brought on this occasion comprises 30,000/. of Mexi can silver. The market fur imported manufactures continued with a good appearance, altho ug h some tail ores in the dry goods trade had b een reported from different parts of the Union. Among these were Mar tin Lewis, of Baltimore, and Jacks, Keeler, an d c d ,, of St. Louis. There had also been one at Boston,, but none at New York. The wheat market had slightly advanoed, some large purchases having been made for Spain. There was also an impression that the accounts 01 the late crop will not be borne out. It was pro nounced to be 10 per cent, above any former season, but the belief now is that, although the quality is ex• cellent, the quantity will prove below an average, th e Yield i n Mi c hi gan, O h i o, New Y or k, an d Virginia hav ing been very deficient. FATAL ACCIDENT IN OXFORD STREET.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wakley proceeded with an important in quiry at the Lord Wellington, University-street, Tot tenham Court-road, touchi ng th e d ea th of Caroline liurley, the daughter of Irish parents, which took place Mader the subjoined circumstances. It appeared from the evidence that for some time past the roadway in New Oxford-street at the corcerof Russell-street, Blooms bury, has been under repair, and, to prevent vehicles Passing along the roadway, was blocked up by means of wooden trestles erected at either end of the work. In consequence of the street being free from public traffic, the poor children of the neighbourhood resorted there to Play, and the deceased, it would seem, was amongst the number : for while some persons were passing they ob served the hapless little creature 13 ing on the ground, with one of the trestles across her head. The inspector of the works could not account for the trestle falling, and said that it could not, unless some person had closed It UP. The jury, after a brief deliberation, recorded a verdict of accidental death ; specially recommending that a bar in future should be used instead of a chain. £IONEY MARKS T 1 RIS DA Y.)

Paul and Turner. The balance sheet commences Jacuary, 1854, with a surplus of 1,756/ 13s. Bd. ; and ho now owes to creditor's., unse cured, 1,8911. 174. The assets are doubtful, the property being in the hands of creditors. The creditors holding security are set down at about 2,i00/. ; and the property held by the creditors will not realise the amount, as a creditor fur 8001., holding property of the nominal value of 2,8001., had only realised 5001., in consequence of the depreciation in value of the property. Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees, and said that the case had been adjourned in order to obtain an ac count of the bankrupt's transactions with a Mr. Gore, and an accou n t h a d L een o b ta i ne d from the latter, who, however, had sinc e di e d, an d l ega l proceedings, which had been taken, bad in consequence been abandoned. The accounts were by no means satisfactory, but, at the same time, the assignees did not consider any advantage would arise fram a further adjournment. The bankrupt then passed. IN RE DEWING. This bankrupt was described as of Newgate-street, Mr. Beard now applied for the certificate, which was granted, of the second class. THE ROYAL BRITDH BANK. No further proceedings were taken in this case during the morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. ASIAULT AND ROBBERY.—Michael Hyam, 21, Daniel Cohen, 30, and Frances his wife (who had an infant in her arms) were charged before Alderman Wire, with an assault and robbery, under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Bochnell, who lives in Cock-hill, New-street, and keeps a brothel, went last night between 12 and 1 o'clok to a public house close by for some ale, whsn she saw the prisoner Hyams, who used very obscene language to her, and d:- rected her to fetch her husband that he might fight him. She declined, when he struck her and knocked her down. Cohen and his wife were there and a regular scuffle ensued, but she waS unable to say if they struck her. In the melee she lost five gold rings from her fin gers, and her gold watch and chain, and her ear-rings. She was very much bruised and injured. On getting home she found her watch down the bosom of her dress. Her ear-rings, which cost two guineas each and three of her finger-rings, were afterwards found in the street crushed to pieces. Richard Mead, a costermonger, was disturbed by the noise in the street, and on looking out of window he saw the prisoners and several others kicking Mrs. Bechnell on the ground. He went to her assistance, and was roughly handled. In the souffle Cohen robbed him of 375. Mrs. Cohen ran indoors for a poker, and on coming out said to her husband, "Here Dan, knock the - brains out." After some further evidence, proving an assault on the police, _ The prisoners, in their defence, denied the robberies, and said that they were all drunk together at the public house, and that they knew not how the row commenced. The prisoners called witnesses in support of• their assertions, and their evidence went to prove that all the parties were in a disgraceful state of drunkenness, and that their conduct generally as well as that of Mrs. Bechnell was 4:nost reprehensible. Mr. Alderman Wire, after a lengthened and patient investigation of the case, said that it was evident a most disgraceful row took place last night, in which th• complainant and prisoner took part, but he did not think the evidence sufficient to substantiate the charge of rob bery. He discharged Mrs. Cohen. Daniel Cohen he fined 20s. or 14 days' imprisonment, for being drunk and disorderly ; and Michael Hymn, 20s. or 14 days, for being drunk and disorderly, and also 10s. or 7 days, for assaulting the police. The prisoners were locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GARROTTING A CRIMEAN OFFICER. —Jane Walton, and James Welch, two notorious bad characters, were brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with garrotting and robbing Mr. William Maclise, surgeon of the 22d Regiment of Foot, recently returned from the Crimea, and now re siding at No. 1, Francis•street, University Hospital. The prosecutor stated that, on the previous night, about 12 o'clock, he was proceeding along Church-street, Soho, when the female prisoner came up and accosted him, and while he was walking and talking to her, the male prisoner suddenly rushed 'upon him from behind, and with his hands seized him by the throat, and at tempted to strangle him. Ho then threw witness on bis back, and the woman, with another woman, not in cus tody, knelt upon his breast, and took his watch, a silver one worth 81,, from his waistcoat pocket. They then ran away, and as soon as prosecutor recovered himself he went in pursuit, and came up with them just as they wer? being stopped by two constables in plain clothes. In reply to Mr. Beadon, the prosecutor said he was convinced the prisoner was the man who first attacked him. Joy, 338 A, said about half-past twelve o'clock last night he saw the prosecutor and the female prisoner walking in Chur3h-street, and he heard the prosecutor exclaim, " For God's salve, where are you going to take me ?" This circumstance aroused his suspicions, and he followed them to Compton-street, where they were joined by the male prisoner, who spoke to the woman, and walked away. The woman then took the pro secutor to the dark side of the enclosure in Soho equate, where they remained until the constable on that beat had passed. The male prisoner then joined them again, and went with the prosecutor into Falconberg mews. Witness, who was still close to them, then saw the male prisoner rush upon the prosecutor, and put his arms round his neck, and fling him to the ground. Tile woman, with another man, who made his escape, then throw themselves upon the prosecutor. Witness, who had in the meanwhile procured the assistance of another constable, then made his appearance, and after a despe rate struggle succeeded in taking the prisoners into cus tody. Police Constable 835 A. went to the assistance of last witness, and took charge of the female prisoner. Ho subsequently searched the mews, and close by where he had taken the woman he found tho silver watch pro duced. The prosecutor identified the watcli as his property. The prisoners, who decllined saying anything in do. fence, were fully committed for trial. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY GUNMAKERS.—john Wicks, a youth aged 16, and &mud frawsey, 25, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with committing a savage assault on John Meredith, who appeared in court with terrible bruises on his face, his eyes blackened and his head cut. It appeared that all the parties were gunmakers, in the employ of Mr. Bond, of Cornhill, and who has a factory for the manufacture of arms in Whitechapel. Seine quarrel had taken place in the factory between Meredith, on one side, and the prisoners on the other. Last night almost immediately after the complainant bad left the factory, he was attacked by the prisoners, who were lying in ambush, anti so very suddenly, that the complainant had not time to defend him- .self. He received a great many blows from the prisoners, who struck at him right and left with their clenched fistq, knocked him down, kicked him, and reduced him to a state of insensibility. Several bystanders described the assault as one of the most cowardly and atrocious nature. The prisoners seemed as if they would never leave off beating him with their clenched fists and kicking him when down. It was also stated that Oawsey was a fighting man, from Birmingham, and had threatened to "double up " the complainant and dose as to the transaction which took place in the factory, but it was clearly shown that the prisoners had pre meditated the cowardly attack on Meredith out of the factory, waylaid him, and rendered him senseless by blows and kicks. Mr. Selfe characterised the assault as one of a most dastardly and savage nature, and doubted whether he ought not to commit the prisoners for trial. He fined them 51. each, and in default of payment one mantis's imprisonment. MARKET NEWS.—(This Lay') COVENT GARDEN. The show of fruit was very limited, of vegetables exten sive.

The following e'renlar has been addressed to the shareholders : Unity General Assurance Association, Chief Offices; Unity-buildings, 8 and 10, Cannon. street, City, London, 10th October, 1856. Dear Sir —I have great pleasure in announc i ng to you that the directors and myself have been enabied to enter into an arrangement, whereby I have resumed my official position as manager of this institution. In acquainting you of this fact it is right I should re mark that the difference of the past could not possibly have arisen on either side, except with a view to serving the interests of the institution. There could be no other object, and while I readily admit that the directors acted, as I believe, solely on this principle, I think I may claim for myself au equally disinterested feeling. ippily a consciousness of this has enabled us to mu tually agree to apply our energies and thoughts in re organising the resources of the institution, with a view to bringing them to bear favourably on its career. It is my sincere wish and intention to do this as far as I possibly can, and I trust the share and policy-holders, the local boards of management, local managers and agents will rightly estimate the great Institution they are identified with, and render the management the large amount of support within their reach, and which will be so eminently desirable at the present moment. - The disturbance that has lately occurred in the affairs of the institution is not without its advantages. The public will have seen that there is a firmness of pur pose in the executive which is necessary to the well-being of a public association, and viewing the past in the most unfavourable light, it. is quite apparent that no causes whatever existed which prevented the directors and my self, who have acted officially together for several years, from asserting our views, although opposite in character, publicly as well as in the board-room. . The directors had nothing to conceal, nor had I. There fore we each proved something, which, if rightly esti mated, presents a fact of some value to those interested in the undertaking. It is true that public attention has been drawn to the Unity General recently, but it is also true that so far as regards its constitution, its principles, or its resources, not one word has been uttered or written which denies to it the possession of elements few securing great success as a commercial institution, and consequently conferring benefits on the public generally. It would indeed be difficult to show that the Unity General, with its sub- scribed capital of 347,600/., with its paid-up capital of 86,9001., its proprietary comprising nearly two thousand persons of great respectability, ramifying throughout the country, its comprehensive principles, its local boards of management and agents, extending, as they do, through. out the United Kingdom and the colonies, its gross annual premium income of 45,0001., arising from 4,2111. policies issued in less than sixyears, assuring 1,413,608/., can be seriously affected by an honest quarrel: on- a- point of principle only, between the directors'and myself. It would be very wrong indeed to forget, or even to under rate, the value of theso !acts connected with the Unity General. They secure to it a future that will be perfectly satisfactory to the shareholders, and provide advantages to assurers of a practi ca l an d lib era l cha racter. The results of the Unity General may safely be regarded as being of a moat cheering character. The financial reseurces are ample ; the investments are good; the lives under a , surauco are selections most ably and carefully made ; and the business has been obtained from those parts where experience has proved it to be of the safest and most eligible description. The report about to be presented to the shareholders at the approaching meeting on the 21st October will disclose more fully the progress of the institution during the past year; therefore I need not now dwell at any greater length on that subject. I would prefer soli citing the connections of the Unity Associations to support the lane interests involved. Let them determine on doing this individually, and I am quite sure that the business of the Unity General will not only be main tained, but that it will be rapidly extended.—l remain, dear sir, yours very truly, - • titomis H. BAYLIS, Manager. P.S.—lt is requested that all communications on the business of the association may in future be directed to me at the chief offices, Unity-buildings, Cannon-street. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.—MR. J. MACGBEGOR, M.P.'s EXPLANATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GLASGOW DAILY NEWS. Sir,—With respect to the calumnies which have been charged against me, I need only advert to a simple narrative of facts. First, I was neither the projector nor founder of the British Bank. Mr. Men zies was the projector. Messrs. Mullens and Paddi• son, and Mr. Moxbay, then proprietors of the Com mercial Hall, were those who first proposed to me to become a director, while I was residing at Brighton, to which place Mr. Muliens, Mr. Menzies, and others came to persuade me to assist them to get a charter. I refused. Afterwards, on the ground that industrious traders, sit ZADd i and shopkeepers had no banking lac • lities in London as in Scotland, I very imprudently con sented to become a director. Mr. Moxhay died soon alter, and the Commercial Hall, which he. proposed should become. the property of the Batik, he taking the value in shares, was abandoned. Then the premises, occupied previonwy by the once great firm of Reid, Irvine, and Co., were taken and fitted up as a banking house. The board room was up stairs ; the manager's room and the whole business transacted on the ground floor. I relied implicitly on the manager and Mr.. Mulling. They on the weekly board day placed before the board a statement of the affairs of the Bank ; and up .to the time I left the direction I believed everything correct. Neither 1, nor any other &rector, as far as I am aware, knew anything of any private book, kept by the manager, nor could I know the persenAl in the city whose paper was worthy of being dis cluntel Danneller and Scales were represented by the manager, on the authority of an eminent gentle man in the Bank of England, as fully trustworthy. This led to the disastrous advances on their coal and iron works in Wales, and which, so long as I was a director, I urged should be realised, instead of at tmpting to work them. A similar attempt, on the part of tbo Bank of England having utterly failed— a second blunder was, advancing on the security of Westminster Improvement Bonds—a third was, on the shares of the Islington Cattle Market--a fourth was, to a shipowning firm, Oliver of Liverpool. Of the value of such securities, I could know nothing ; therefore, I became convinced, but too late, that in the City of London, as is, I believe, the true and practicable custom in Glasgow, no one should be a directorodf is, a impossiblebankbut fora a city prunrasnlyofwebsut.seinndessm. man n F t o o r it was, and know who ought, or ought net, to be trusted. It was under these convictions that I separated myself from all joint-stock connectiane. As regards liabi'ities to the Royal Britbth Bank, I deny the amount of debit, either legally or equitably ; and for an y legal debit, of which, when I can ascertain the details—which I cannot for some days—there are imeserous offsets, as transferred new three per cents. in the Bank of England, 1,0001. then. at 9ii ; 5001. stick at ; other securities, valued each at from 3001. to 4001.; two valuable life polic=ies,. that eapc ciaily et a very old one, in the Law, for 1,0001. to which several large bonuses have been added. As I have concluded in haste, I will only a.le/ that I wilt not shrink lidera calumny, nor elide. from paaing any just claim that may be proved against we. will not yield to clamour nor injustice.—l am, Sir, yours most respectfully, .T. MACGREGOR. Athenaeum C:ub, Oct,, 1856. The Ottoman Bank have announced that they have appointed Mr. Falconnet their London manager. At a meeting of the London and Farb , Bank, held yesterday, a resolution was passed, comirrning the pro posed dissolution of the, company, and it was intimated that the directors are prepared forthwith to repay the dilinsti, and callv, less 31. per s hare, the amount retained until a anal liquidation bhali have been accomplished.

LOAD LYONS FLAGSHIP.—A. letter from Admira Lord Lyon's flag-ship, the Royal Albert, 121, dated "Bosphorus, 29th of September," contains the folio.-- ins passage ;—" The steamers are just returning to the Black Sea, Russia not having fulfilled the treaty." The police in Naples are busy in organising lazzaroni, and making them ready for action—that is to say, for plundering. The chief mover in these exertions is the Queen herself, who constantly urges her royal husband to rely upon his faithful people, and not to give way to the demands of those " infernal monsters, commonly called Napoleon M. and Viscount Palmerston." THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER TAY.--:--The two cantros dictory messages respecting this steamer are reconciled by supposing that the statement that the Tay was totally wrecked was owing to a mistake in conveying the mes sage, and that after she went ashore she was got off and taken back to Tampico. There is some slight hope that the Tay is not wholly lost.

A party of officers and - noblemen—namely,-his Annel le/ley Count dell'Alberese, Marquii isiss'y de Nerli, Che \ 01i,,r ',neon°, Li4ut. Silvatici, 'Corninandants de Fresco bahli, and Signor Autinori, members 'of the Government of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, paid a visit to Woolwich on Wednesday. They first visited the dockyard, and, having gone over the floating battery Thunderbolt, and in spected the various basins and docks, they proceeded to the Arsenal, where they spent upwards of three hours. Yesterday morning three companies of the Royal..krtillery Corps returned to head-quarters from Dover and Dublin, and draughts from Carlisle and Teignmoutli, were paraded in front of the batracks at Woolwich, in command of Colonel Kennedy and Captain and Adjutant Green, of the 14th battalion. At half-past 10 o'clock Major-General Williams and staff rode down the lines, and went thrpugh a careful inspection of the men and their ac.coutreneen.te. The General afterwards; accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel Teesdale, his aide-do-camp, and staff, repaired If tine en • impment at the extremity of Woolwich-common, and inspected the field-battery troops, the whole ,of whom marched past on their return from morning exercise on Plumsteati-common. Colonel Brown, Commandant of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, yesterday morning returned to Wool wich, at the expiration of a month's leave of absence, and resumed the cotnmand of his.division. • The screw steam storeship Hesper, having been hastily repaired and manned with seamen riggers and supernume raries from the Commodore's ship Fisgard, under thecom mand of Master Mugford, sailed yesterday morning from Woolwich, for Portsmouth, to embark provigions, ke., for Madeira and the Cape Verde Isles. : The paddlewheel troopship Dee, Master Pullen com manding, arrived at Woolwich on Thursday night from Portsmouth. The Aransport Rhea Sylvia arrived at Woolwich yester day scorning with a cargo of medical comforts, fire-engines, and provisions from the East, which - she is to discharge at the .Victoria-docks. It appears from an official return of the number of troops who have been discharged from Chatham garrison since the reduction which has taken - place in the • army that during the quarter ending the 30th of September_lsat 1,238 eon-commissioned officers and men left the invalid establishment. Of this number 789 were discharged from the service as being altogether unfit for any further mili tary duty, and 419 convalescents left St. Mary's Barracks for the purpose of rejoining the depot companies of their respective regiments in various parts Of the Vinited King dom. "Major-General Sir It. Airey, 1C.C.8., the Quartermas ter-General, has directed that no more invalids are to be forwarded to the depot at Chatham until' after the 17th inst., that establishment being very crowded. The number of - invalids now stationed there is 1,700. The detachment of the Engineer Corps of the Turkish Contingent now employe:34 at Chathaui gatrison, under the command of Captain Allan, in depositing the Engineers' stores brought home from the Crimea in the,Ordnanee stores at the Gun-wharf, have not yet completed this duty, owing to the vast quantity of war stores - to lie unshipped and deposited, and it is expected that some weeks will elapse bi-fore all the articles are returned into store. The war materials already placed in the Ordnance stores in clude pontoons, waggon trains, and an immense quantity of trooebiog tools—sufficient, in fact, for a complete army. Al' TREASURES BXHIBITIdY, 1857. Since our last notice the Marquis of Salisbury has ex tended his former liberal offer, and placed a more extended hat of treasures at Hatfield at the disposal of the com mittee. It is`gratifying to find that the labours of the committee are bringing to light a very much more exten sive collection of the specimens .of the groat miters of the very early Italian . and German schools than we 'were sup posed to possess in this country, and that• tha owners of these unique and most valuable works are 'almost' without exception tendering the choicest of them f or th e u se o f the exhibition. In accordance with the liberality of Prince Albert in placing the whole of his collection of early pic tures at the disposal of the committee, Mr. Davenport Bromley, among others, promises some pictures of remark. able value and rarity, including a Cosieno Roselli, a Vin eanzo a Bagna Corvallo, a Girolamo Cotignola, and an Inuocenzo da Imola. Mr. Fuller Maitland con tributes toe greater portion of a somewhat long list of pictures which were selected from' his collection. It iucludes a Byzantine picture, representing the death of St. Ephraim Lyrus, a Taddo Gaddi (small altar piei!e), an Angelico da Fiesele (Entombment of the c el P n i o a d t ( altarpiece), Pietrorl e c smalle ) (St.ra e .it Peter r r i re Botticelli (Adoration of t e. sntllitura:erCrre:lK.)inla);grTisCiag.:i'inir::'Ef:°;:tßhßFaer:roilsedniesielfPldaoPir:B:l(lan:HLrBdgiope offers a remarkably fine picture by Vandyck, among others one from the King of Holland ; and also volunteers to the committee a large oil painting by the modern German artist, Overbeck. Mr. Joseph Henry Green, late Professor of Anatomy of the itoyal Academy in London, offers to contribute a singu larly interesting selection of pictures, including some of the very early schools—a Quintin Matsys as well as two tine specimens of modern art by Stothard and llyco. Sinco the preparations for the Exhibition commenced there has been scarcely any more remarkable example of a desire to do everything to further the object in view than has been evinced by the Earl of Warwick, the Earl ‘of Darnley. Earl Craven, Mr. Smith Barry, of Marhury-hall, Cheshire, and Mr. T. Well Blundell, of Ince, near Liverpool. To each of these noblemen and gentlemen applications were made by the committee, framed in accordance with the generally known records of their valuable collections. In such instances the full list of works thus asked for have been most liberally granted, and accompanied by an inti mation that iu the judgment of their owners there were other specimens in their coNections` which would add at traction and interest to the Exhibition, a VAC ANCIES, APP OI NTME LV TS, A.ND PROMOTIONS.
