MON E Y MARKET AND COIVredER.OIAL INTIRT,LIGENGR CITY, Two o'Orony. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly but steadily, and prices of all de scr ipti ons were unchanged. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, without any material change on the current rates of Satur day. Accounts from Russia continue to speak of the rapid development of the trade of the country since the conclusion of the peace. The value of the ex ports from St. Petersburg this year is estimated at 200,000,000 of francs. Next to corn, it is stated that the most important article exported is tallow, of which more than 90,000,000 lbs. have been shipped. Of course it is reported that the Russian Railway project has been very favourably received on the Bourse, and various other under takings, having for their object the opening up of fresh branches of trade, are now also on the tads. - At present, however, when the money markets of the whole of Europe are so greatly disturbed there can be no doubt that the difficulty which must be experienced in raising the necessary capital will stand in the way of their early prosecution. The inquiry for discount accommodation in Lombard-street and at the Bank of England is rather quieter ; the recent advance in the minimum quotations having so far exercised a salutary effect. In some instances first-class bills are negotiated Out of doors at a trifle below the Bank minimum, but, generally speaking, that quotation is steadily maintained. The advices from Paris being more favourable, and the Bank of France having tem porarily ceased to withdraw gold from this country, the.hope is expressed thateircumstaticec will not ren der it necessary for the Threadneedle-street autho rities to adopt further restrictive measures, but, at the same time it is not supposed that any speedy improvement will take place. The James Baines has not yet been announced, and the parties more immediately interested are naturally becoming very anxious. This vessel, together with the Lightning, Which is also supposed to be due,will bring upwards of a million sterling. _ _ Notwithstanding the speculation in silver on the Continent has greatly diminished, there is still an active demand for that metal, and the purchases recently' effected are stated to be considerable. The Colombo, which leaves Southampton on the 20th, will, it is believed, take out about 450,0001. or 500,0001. in specie. The Funds have advanced about per cent., and the market is very buoyant, without much activity. The public have been purchasing with more free dom, and• the improvement on the Paris Bourse yesterday has contributed to impar additional firmness to prices. Consols for mon , ' . e been 93 to 93i, and for account 93 The quotation for the Jan. account has .: 41 ;:,! ' . 94. The New 3 per Cents. 92 educed eli to 92k. Exchequer Bills have seen rather firmer, being ls. dis. to ls. prem. East ILidia Stock is 227. The Foreign Stock Market is dull, but. also at an improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. were 902 to 91, being a rise of Ito per cent., and the 4 per, Cents. are marked at 1001, which is also an im provement. Spanish New Deferred have been 24. Mexican 21 to 221. Dutch .21 per Cents. have declined to 641. The following ar© the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61i 71 ; Mexi 04n, 211 22t ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 76 8 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 6 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 95 7 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 411 2 ; ditto Deferred, 23 ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto Passive, 5 t; The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited , ,' but quotations generally have im• proved about f per cent. Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire,' North Eastern 130hvick, and South Wales were fully ss. to 10s. better. The French hues also exhibited a marked advance, Paris and I lona and 'Northern of France being fully 11. higher than yesterday's closing rates. Lombardo ,Velletian) Grand Trunk of Canada, and East I n di an have also shown a slight upward movement. Joint-Stock Bank Shares are dull, bat prices rule steady, . In Miscellaneous Shares business has been rather active, at improved quotations. ,# ER rrn, ---LISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING'OCES. Rank St oc k (From the Official List.)

Thomas, of Colma r , has lately made the finishing improvements: in the calcu lating machine, called the arithmometer, as which he has been w or ki ng foi upwards of 30 years. Pascal and pndertod Leib nitz, in the 17th cen t ur y, an d Diderot at a later e ndeavoured to construct a machine which might serve as a sub st i tute f or h uman i ntelligence in the combination of figures, but failed. M. Thomas's arithmometer mary, he u se d wit h out :the least trouble or possibility and i. not only fo r a dditi on, su bt ract i on, mu ltiplica r to i n o , nsuh u c vision, but also for much more complex operations, as the extraction of the square root, involution,. figuresthe reso lution of triangles, &c,c. A: multiplication of eight a d ivi by eight oth ers i s made in eighteen secondso h Sion of sixt een f i gures by eight figures in 4seconds; and i n one minute and a quarter one canextract square root o f 16 figui es, and also rove the acouraoy the of th e calculation. The arithmometer adapts itself to every sort of com b ination. As an instance of the wo nderful extent o f i ts powers, we ma y state that it can fur n i s h i n a few seconds pro d uc ts amounting toi 99 ,999,.999,999,999,999,999,999,99 9 , 999 ! Alll a,rvei. long number, comparable to the infinite multitude' of stars which stud the firmament, or the particles of . du . st . which fl oat in the atmosphere. The working of t hlsu sztrument is however, most simple. To ra ise or lowerl a means tut screw, to tern a W i nc h a few t i mes, an d, by o a button, to slide off a lal ' e ht or from right to left, is simply reproducing the etawl whole e e efereormeLleftto Insteadrig oi the operations of man's intelligence, the arithrnometer relieves bt intelligence from the ne cessity of making the operations. ta Instead of repeating responses dictated to it, this instrument instantaneously dictates the proper answer to the man who asks it a question. It is not a matter producing Lot matter which thinks reflects, reasons, calculates and material effects, executes all the most difficultand complicated arithmetical operations with a rapidity and infallibility which defies all the calculators in the world. The arithmometer is more over a simple instrument, of very little volume and easily` portable. It is already used in many great financial esta blishments, wher e considerable economy is realised by its eru Ployment. It will soon be considered as indispensable, and be as g e nerally used as a cloak, which was formerly an; be to be seen in palaces, and is now in every cottage. Generally speaking, the practical application of any great mechanical improvement involves an injury to certain in terests, but that is not the case blare. The arithmometer Will not cause to the persons employed in banks, count isig-houses, and public offices any such kuitt prejudice as the ers suffered from the inventionof the stocking frame, the spinners from the spinning jennies, or copyists from the invention of printin this machi ne even dg. Th e person w h o ma k es use o f ail y does not therefore lose his apti tude for calculation in the ordinary way. On the contrary, although a child m ay b e easily taught to perform the most complicated calculation s by the use of the instrument, the more expert in figures the operator is the more ad vantage he will derive from the aid of this machine. The arithmometer is not only a Palpable evidence of a great difficulty overcome ; it is an element of wealth, a new Means of multiplying time, like the locomotive engine and the electric telegraph. The discovery is an event the full importance of which it is impossible as yet to measure." A' tic rule has ken issued by e Cour of Co mmon Pleas, und er Cardweh's Act, again s t the Brighton Railway they should not con- Co mpany, to show cause why struot a covered station for the accommodation, of the travellers on the CAterham railway.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE POTLE. This bankrupt, Sophia Anne Poile, had carried on business as a pawnbroker in Great Suffolk-street, South wark, and now come up for her certificate. Mr. Bagley, instructed by Mr. Rolt, appeared to oppose, on the ground that the bankrupt had given an undue preference to her mother, by which all the pro perty had been swept off. Mr. Lawrence appeared for the bankrupt, and after a brief explanation, His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the second class. IN RE BARNETT. This bankrupt was described as of Ramsgate, js ?feller, and this was a meeting for proof of debts and choice of assignees. Mr. Philp Bucklersbury appeared for the petitioning creditor, and assignees were chosen pro forma, as it was understood that the bankruptcy would be super seded on the part of the bankrupt, an arrangement to that effect being pending. DEPARTUItE OF THE ISTANBOUL FOR AUSTRALIA. The auxiliary screw clipper Istanboul, the pioneer of the Australian Steam Clipper Company (limited), left the Victoria Docks, London, on Monday last, at noon pre cisely, according to advertised announcement, and imme diately steamed down to Gravesend, with a tug a-head to afford assistance, if necessary, in the narrow parts of the river, she being 250 feet long. She was a full ship, both in cargo and passengers, the comp”y,brokers,agents, and the Duck Company having combined their exertions to load her in 14 days, so as to enable her to leave at the hour advertised, keeping faith with, and giving satis faction to, shippers and all interested. She arrived at Gravesend within two hours after leaving the docks, her engines workirg admirably. This magnificent vessel has amply fulfilled the expectations of thedirectors as regards her capacity, she having on board, 1,600 tons of cargo paying freight, an d 690 tons of metal, coal, provisions, &c., besides her passengers and crew. Her tonnage is 1,470 old measurement, 1,310 gross new measurements and 1,164 register, after deducting engine-room space ; her draught of water is 19 feet aft and 18 feet forward. The speed with which she has been filled is something remarkable. She arrived from West Hartlepool, where she was fitted by her builder for her present service, on the 15th of October; fthe company entertained their friends at a dejeuner on board on the 27th ; on the fol lowing day she commenced loading, which, by the use of powerful hydraulic cranes, proceeded at the rate of 200 tons per day, and was accomplished, as above stated, in 10 days. She left Plymouth on Saturday, and proceeded on her voyage, which she is confidently expected to com plete in 60 days. The Victoria Docks, upon the manage ment of which the speedy loading, by their extraordi nary hydraulic cranes, of the Istanboul reflects much credit, have been so extensively used during the short time they have been open, that the directors intend ap plying to Parliament in the ensuing session for po ever to enlarge them, for which purpose they have 250 acres available ; and before long, at the present rate of increase, there is no doubt every acre will be required. The testi mony of all nautical lawn we have conversed with assures us that the managers of the Liverpool and Birkenhead Dock Estate would derive many valuable suggestions from a visit to those dock, and find various points within that enclosure of the Thames which might be copied with great profit to the trust and infinite advantage to cap tains, shipowners, merchants, and the commercial com munity generally, on either bank of the Mersey. We should hare stated that the medical gentleman who goes out in charge of the health of the Istanboul's numerous passengers is Dr. Baylie, whose remarkable letter in the leading journal lately, signed by him as "ex-Mayor of Geelong," produced so great a clnfirmation of the merits of the Panama route as the real course which the postal traffic between the Antipodes and England will actually have to pursue, whatever may be the temporary expe dients which may be adopted in the meanwhile. The Istanboul will be followed on the 31st Dec. by the Indo mitable, it being the intention of the company to which these vessels belong to dispatch a ship at intervals of six weeks. The Indomitable is a new first-class ship, of 1,160 tons register and 1,800 tons burthen, with auxili• ary engines nominally of 80 horse power, and working up to 320. She has given great satisfaction in the Go vernment service, in which she has recently been en gaged, and is as admirably adapted for the Australian voyage as her sister ship, the Istanboul. The other ves sels of this company, in readiness or building, are all of the same magnificent dimensions and capacity for stow age, and their accommodation for 'passengers on the same scale, as regards the essential points of space, ven tilation, and general comfort. —Liverpool Albion,. DR. BRADY AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. (Front the Midland Counties Gazette.) In another column will be found an abridged report of the proceedings of the Leitrim Liberal Club, at the meeting of that body held in Carrick-on-Shannon on Wednesday last. The success of the club is now an established fact. But twoyears established, it has already accomplished much—has, in truth, secured the indepen dence of Leitrim. When, some three years since, we urged the liberals of Leitrim to organise a county club, we stated our belief that in no Irish county there existed better or more available materials for such an organisa tion. The result has proved that we well understood the county. But sanguine as we were, we confess that our hopes have been more than realised—that our expecta tions have been surpassed. In two short years the club has accomplished that which we knew could be accom plished, bull for the accomplishment of which we deemed that years would be required. The county of Leitrim is already independent. The conservative power is com pletely prostrated. At the next general election two Jibe ' rals will be returned for Leitrim. This is no idle boast ; we are warranted in making the assertion. The liberals are as three to one on the registry. Having closely watched the parliamentary career of Dr. Brady, we most cordially concur in the vote of thanks and confidence passed to him by the club of Leitrim on Wednesday, and shall deem it a duty to co-operate, to the utmost of our means and ability, in giving practical effect to the resolutions of future support. Indeed, to secure Dr. Brady'a re-election will be a matter of no diffi culty—it is already secured. It alone remains to provide him with an honest and worthy fellow-representative, so that the votes of John Brady may be no longer neutra lised by the hostile votes of a conservative colleague. This, we have no doubt, the club will take measures to accomplish. MARKET NE Day.) HAY MARKET'S.

THACKERAY S FOURTH LECTURE, (From the Scotsman.) Last night (Friday) Mr. Thackeray's concluding lecture—on the Fourth of the Georges —was de livered in the Music Hall, Edinburgh, to an audi ence that appeared even greater than those which had attended the preceding lectures. The lecturer began with a reference to the vene ration with which Lord Eldon preserved a lock of the Duke of York's hair, and to the unfortunate accident which befel a greater man than George the Fourth—Sir Walter Scott—when he went on board the vessel that brought the King to Scotland in 1822, and carried off iu his pocket a crystal goblet from which his Majesty had drunk, break ing it, however, by sitting down upon it in the boat as he was coming ashore—as instancing the extraordinary reverence that was paid to royalty, and especially to George the Fourth, even within the memory of the present generation. Had the precious crystal been preserved, and were it now shown to the visitors at Abbotsford, would we not smile with something like pity to see it ? In Ma dame Tussaud's wax- work exhibition the corona tion robes of that king are yet to be seen—" Which of you would now kiss the hem of that trumpery ?" To make a portrait of him at first seemed a matter of some difficulty. There is his coat, and his wig, and his countenance simpering under it. With a slate and a piece of chalk, said Mr. Thackeray, I could at this very desk perform a recognisable like ness of him. And yet, after reading of him in scores of volumes, hunting him through old maga zines and newspapers, you will find nothing but a coat and wig, and the mask smiling below it— nothing but a great simulacrum. His sires and grandsires were men with individualities ; they had steady loves and hatreds ; one knew what they would do undergiven circumstances. Thesailor-king who succeeded him was a man ; and the Duke of York, his brother, was a man—a big, burly, jolly, cursing, courageous man. But this George was but a bow an a grin ; he was all outside, a tailor's work— fine cocked hat, nutty-brown wig, coat, huge black stock, under-waistcoats, more under-waistcoats, and then nothing—a royal mummy. The lecturer said he had once thought.it iste4is44od sport to hunt him down, but he would be ashamed to summon a full field and then hunt such poor game. There were more pictures taken of him than of any other human being—in every variety of uniform and dress, in every conceivable cocked hat, in dragoon uniform, in Windsor uniform, in field-marshal's dress, in a Scotch kilt, with dirk and claymore— and then he looked more stupendous than ever. Before his little feet could walk statesmen were busy kissing them. He was everywhere described as beautiful, and he had a high spirit when a boy. Having a difference with his father, he burst into the royal closet and shouted "Wilkes and Liberty ! ' He corrected his tutor, Lord Bruce, who made a false quantity in reading his Greek lesson • and the tutor took it so to heart that he resigned his post, obtaining a peerage, however, to soothe his wounded feelings. Lord Bruce was made an earl for a blunder in prosody, and Nelson was made a baron for the victory of the Nile. He was so extravagant that if he had been a manufac turing town, or a populous rural district, or an army of 5,000 men, he could not have cost more ; and yet he was a solitary man, who did not toil, or spin, or fight. Ho spent 10,0001. a year for the coats on his back ; and the sums given him by the nation were past counting. He spent an income of 66,0001., 70,0001.,100,0001., 120,0001. a year—the nation was continually paying debts for him of 180,0001. or 650,0001.—besides granting mysterious foreign loans, the proceeds of which this man pocketed. Ho was so lovely to look upon that he was described as Prince Florizel. Ho and his ' brother King, Louis D'Artois—who subsequently, driven away by his people, had to seek shelter in Holyrood—shared between them the title of " The First Gentleman of Europe." It was, of course, a point of loyality to ac cord the title to George in this country. It was Walter Scott who was his champion—who rallied all Scotland to him, laying about him with his claymore on all his enemies. The House of Brunswick had no such two dsfeuders as Samuel Johnson and Walter Scott. The dreadful dulness of papa's court at Windsor, however, was such as would have made scapegoats of any princes. But his brothers, after sowing their wild oats and spending their youth in riotous living, settled down into quiet, if not good, men. But throughout Prince Florizel was the same. He signalised his entrance into life by an act worthy of him—he in vented a new shoe-buckle, an inch long and five inches broad, which covered almost the whole in step, and reached down to the ground on either side—a sweet invention, lovely and useful as the prince on whose foot it sparkled. His natural com panions were dandies and parasites. French ballet dances, French cooks, horse jockeys, boxers, china, jewel, and gimcrack merchants. Fox, and Pitt, and Burke, and Sheridan wore sometimes his guests, but what had they in common with their host of Carlton House ? His opinions on anything but the best pattern for a waistcoat or the sauce for a partridge were not worth anything. The Whig chiefs thought to make use of him, but he had no feeling to unite him to them or to any others who took part in the business of the world, and if he broke the hollow compaA that subsisted with them, who 'shall blame him ? Declining to take the Leporello part, and flourish a catalogue of the conquests of this royal Don Juan, and to tell the names of the favourites to whom, one after another, the Prince threw his pocket-handkerchief —what good is there, said Mr. Thackeray, in know ing that he actually did marry Miss Fitzherbert according to thorites of the Roman Catholic Church? Heartless debauchees have been ever since the world began, and this one had more than his share of temptation. All the pleasant devils were enticing him on—desire, idleness, vanity, and drunkenness. At his table—for the aroma of the wine at a table where a great man sits as host seems to brighten the wit—Scott, with his great and good nature, poured forth his immense stores of legendary lore, and there was Grattan with his wondrous eloquence and feeling, Tom Moore, too, perched on it for a while, flying away in a twitter of indignation afterwards, and attacking the Prince with beak and claws. Kindness to a housemaid, g enerosity to a groom, were the sum of all the good stories that were told about him ; they were mean and trivial, and they characterised him. H was fond and familiar with his friends ono day, and passed them without re cognition the next ; on Monday. Prince Flerizel fondled and kissed poor Perdita, and ou Tuesday he did not know her. Beau Brommell, his superior in his own line, ho treated with cruel neglect, after cheating him out of a snuff-box. He had worn uniforms so much—had sat so often in all kinds of cocked hats and military coats to have his portrait taken—that he came to believe he Lad been a sol dier, and had actually led a tremendous charge of the German Legion at Waterloo. Mr. Thackeray next sketched the greatly differ ent manners of fifty years ago—the drinking, box ing, swearing, and gambling habits of the last generation—when gentlemen at dinner regularly fell under the table—when Byron and his com panions led their wild life at Newstead Abbey, drinking till morning in monks' dresses, breakfast ing at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and then boxing, or fencing, or firing pistols at a mark in the hall, or worrying the wolf. Lord Eldon, as John Scott, a young barrister on the Northern Circuit, who loved port wine, but loved also his business, his duty and his fees, was called up as evidence against the leading counsel, who lost causes from sticking to the dinner table, and being too drunk to consult. Poor Bozzy, who absurdly would go to the Northern Circuit, was exposed lying drunk in the streets of Lancaster unable to move. A story was related of the Prince Regent and his brothers the Dukes of York and Clarence, getting "Jockey of Norfolk" over to the Pavilion at Brighton to dinner in order to carry out a plan they had laid for making him drunk, and how, after the veteran toper had overthrown many of those who were in the plot against him, he was finished by the Prince proposing a bumper of brandy ; and when the old grey-haired man, drunk as he was, seeing through thescheme, and proposies to leave, getting his postilions to drive him round and round the park, and finally landing him in bed at the Pavilion. These were the manners of the times, and this was the First Gentleman of Europe. Mr. Thackeray said he believed, however, that he was innocent in the affair about his horse Escape, which created so much talk. Pierce Esran then n arrated in most amusing style the battles of Moly neux and Cribb—Byron swore in his letters to John Murray, and corresponded with Mr. Julin Jackson, pugilist—and Blackwood raised his voice to gather the nation round King and Ring, declaring that to extinguish in man a love of pugilism would be to reduce him to the level of the brutes, and pro claiming, Let pugilism flourish and Radicalism decay." Play, too, which ruined so many of the men of fashion, was now a deposed goddess, her worshippers bankrupt, and her table in rags. Driving was the only thing in which the Prince distinguished himielf, and that, too, had fallen into decay. George had not even the constitutional bravery of his predecessors. The Second George manfully fired his pistols in the enemy's face at Dettingen, and the Thi r d w ith s tood all the statesmen of his time on the India Bill and the Roman Catholic Disabilities, declaring that if he were beaten . i would retire to Hanoer rather than reioluuee he his Kingly p re rogative. And ho he would have done it too ! But bravery, how could George the i Fourth have it, who had lived his life in wanton idleness, I who had never strung up his nerves to any work COLONIAL. TEA.—A very limited business has been done in tea, the demand having to some extent fallen off, except for fine and rueful qualities of greens, which have realised full rates. Common Congou brought 9id. per lb. SUGAR.—There has been a very dull market, and a dis• position has been evinced by purchasers to delay their operations until easier terms can be obtained. The demand for both home use and for export has not been active, although fully former quotations have been demanded. There are moderate quantities of llavannah and Mauritius advertised for public sale during the week. COFFEE.—A better demand has been experienced for both Native and Plantation Ceylon, and improved prices have been obtained for some fine qualities. There are moderate quantities to be offered for public competition during the week. RICE.— For this article an increased demand has been felt, and full prices have been obtained for all qualities. The stocks on hand are, however, larger than at this period last year. Rum.—The market is ruled firm, with vory little busi ness doing, at former rates. TALLOW.—There has been a steady market for present delivery at 57s 3d per cwt., but for forward delivery prices rule heavy, as it is reported that the vessels lately detained at St. Petersburg are now getting away. P. Y. C. all the year is Ms 9d per cwt. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Nov. 18.—Wind this day at noon, N. ; light ails and hazy.

THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 17.—The Royal Mail steamship Orinoco sailed to-day with the usual mails, for the West Indies, Central America, and the Pacific, 147. passengers (among whom is Lieutenant Kane, the Arctic voyager, who is proceeding to the West Indies for the benefit of his health), a full general cargo, and jewellery valued at 4,5001. sterling. The Pe ninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamer Enxine took her departure at 2 p.m. with the mails for Vigo, Oportor, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, 56 passengers and a general cargo. The Spanish steamer Barcelona, Capt. Burnet, arrived at ncon to-day from Barcelona, Alicante, Valencia, Malaga, Cadiz, Corunna, and Santanda, having experienced very bad weather in crossing the thy of Biscay, during which she stove one of her quarter-boats. The Barcelona brings a cargo of dried fruit, oranges, and other Spanish produce, after discharging which she will proceed to Hamburg. The Hamburg o, belonging to this line, arrived at Cadiz on the 4th inst., from Southampton. The United States mail steam-ship H ermann , Capt. B. Higgins, arrived this morning from New York, which port she left on the 2d inst., having been prevented from getting over the bar of New York on the Ist inst. (her regular day of sailing) by bad weather. The Hermann brings 75 Passengers and about 190,000 dollars in Teel() on freight, part of which is for France. After coaling she proceeds to Bremen at daylight to-morrow (Tuesday). The steam ship Cape of G oo d Hope, purchased by the Ca!eutta and Burmah Steam Navigation Company from the General Screw Steam-shipping Company, sailed to-day for Cal ' cutta direct, with few passengers and a small cargo. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. EXAMINATION OF KENT. CLERKENWELL. —This morning James Charles Comyns Kent was placed at the bar, before Mr. Corrie, for fur ther examination, charged with being concerned with Leopold Redpath, now in custody, with fraud on the Great Northern Railway, to a large extent. The pri soner, who is a tall thin young man, with round pale features, black hair, and no whiskers, walked briskly into the dock, and assumed great confidence during the whole of the proceedings. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution, and wa3 accompanied by Mr. Mowatt, secretary to the Great Northern Railway Company. Mr. Dodd, of New Broad-street, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys said it would be in the recollection of the Court that he attended here on Tuesday last, with some of the officials of the Great Northern Rail way Company, and obtained a warrant for the appre bension of a person named Leopold Redpath, That warrant was placed in the hands of the police, but be fore they had time to execute it the prisoner at the bar was apprehended on the charge of being concerned with Redpath in the frauds he had committed on the company, and he; was brought before Mr. t yrwhitt and remanded for a week, it being believed then that Redpath would not have been in custody so soon, and that both might have been placed at the bar together this day. Redpath wa., however, apprehended in London and not in Paris, as it was expected, and he was on Friday brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and re manded till Friday next. He (Mr. Humphreys) had consulted with Mr. Dodd, the prisoner's solicitor, and they had arranged, with the magistrate's permis- sion, to make this a formal examinatien, and that the prisoner should be remanded till Friday, and then be brought up with Redpath before Mr. Tyrwhitt, who was in possession of the facts that bad been proved against the prisoners. The examina• tion of Kent, on a former occasion, took place privately at his (Mr. Humphreys) request, from a conviction that a publication of the evidence at the time in the news papers would have defeated the ends of justice, and sub sequent events tend to show that in all probability that would have been the case had it been published that day. His application was that the prisoner be remanded Friday, whey Redpath would appear at the bar with bhp. Mr. Dodd, on the part of the prisoner, said he Lad no objection to the course proposed. Mr. Conk) concurred, and the prisoner was remanded till Friday. Mr. Dodd asked the magistrate to order that d gold watch, chain, &c., and other articles of value found on the prisoner Kent, when LP was apprehended, should be given up to him for the purpose of enabling him to pre- pare his defence. Mr. Humphreys said there was no objection . whilotei to its being done. Mr. Corrie directed that the property should"be given up. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. He then walked briskly out of the dock and was afterwards con• veyed to the Middlesex House of Correction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). THAMES. THE VALUE or A TOOTH. —Joseph Temple, a rough looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting Catherine Mahony, servant at the Red Cross public house, in Upper East Smithfield. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner came into her master's house last night very drunk, and he became noisy and troublesome. She gave him a little shrub, and got him out of the house quietly, and walked with him a little distance. She then returned to her master's house, and was closing the door to prevent any one entering again, when the prisoner returned, and forced his way in again. She tried to get him out again, when he struck her a violent blow with his fiat on the mouth, and loosened one of her teeth, which she intended on her way home from the court to be extracted by a dentist. Mr. Selfe—What do you say to this, Temple ? Prisoner—l was very tipsy indeed, or I would no t have done it. Mr. Selfe—You must pay the dentist's bill, that is the least you can do. Prisoner—l will do that, sir. Mr. Selfe—You must pay 103. for her tooth ; it is worth that. The prisoner said he would borrow 10s. in Thames street, and pay it to the complainant. Mr. Selfe—Will you trust him, Catherine ? Complainant— Yes, sir ; I know him well. I believe he will pay me 10s. for my tooth. Mr. Selfe —You hear what she says. Now, go to Thames-street and get the 10a. for her. If you pay her I shall think better of you than I do now.

AMERICA.—LIVERPOOL, Nov. 11.—The screw steam ship City of Baltimore, Leitch, commander, 'arrived i n the Mersey early this morning, with advices from Phila delphia to the 30th ult., which have been anticipated by the Arabia. She has brought $50,000 specie on freight and 198 passengers.

When cautious Peel and grim old Wellington had given in on the Catholic question, old Eldon, who stuck to it, went to him, and found him irresolute, weak-minded, refusing to give even an opinion, and only asking that he should not again be required to beg his ministers to stay with him. Even Eldon seems to have lost his wonder ful patience, and to have scorned him. Turning to his domestic lifo, narrating " the little that could be told," Mr. Thackeray accompanied Lord Malmesbury to Brunswick to bring home the Princess Caroline, of whose fair hair, blue eyes— even of her toilet, respecting which Lord Malmes bury on good grounds advised her to be particular —the audience were favoured with glimpses. He would not carry his hearers through the story— how, at first saluting her, the First Gentleman of Europe turned to Lord Malmesbury with " Harris, get me a glass of brandy '—how he hiccupped out his vows at the altar—and how he kept them. With the vagaries of the unhappy Princess he would not deal, but when put upon her trial, " I vote," said Mr. Thackeray, "she is Not Guilty. I don't say it is an . impartial verdict ; but as one reads her story the heart beats for that poor out raged woman. If wrong there be, let it lie at his door who wickedly thrust her from him. And yet he was called the First Gentleman in Europe,l There is no greater satire on the proud English society of that day than that they admired this George !" Some men there were of that time who merited the title of gentleman, and whose memory would be fondly' cherished when that of yonder monarch would be buried in oblivion. Walter Scott loved the king, and championed him like the brave Highlander, in his own story, who fought round a chief unworthy of his loyalty. What honest zeal, what generous devotion, what amiable love was that of the noble Sir Walter ! There was another man of letters of that day—Robert Southey, whose life would long be remembered, for it was sublime in its simplicity, its energy, its honour, and its affection. And since heaven made gentlemen, there was no record of a better than Cuthbert Col lingwood. Of braver deeds they might read, but nowhere of more beautiful love of duty—of a gentler, truer heart. Beyond the dazzle of success . and the blaze of genius, he loved a hundred and a hundred times b e tt er the sublime purity of Col lingwood's gentler glories. As one read of him and Nelson goin ,,, into the victory with which their name was connected, how the old feeling of Chris tian honour came on one ! What gentlemen they were ! What gallant h ear t s they had ! Reginald Heber, the divine, was also one of the best of English gentlemen counselling his pfople in trouble, aiding them in difficulties, and comforting them in distress. Love and duty was his life's aim. In 1784, when the first ball was given in honour of the Prince who was entering upon his life-long course of vanity, another scene was enacting on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Washington, the patriot, was sheathing his sword after a public life of spotless purity—resiguing the power which he had used so nobly and so effectually. With a power ful contrast between the magnanimous acts and simple language of George Washington, and the emptiness, heartlessAess, and folly, that from the first characterised Prince George of England, Mr. Thackeray concluded his lecture amidst great ap plause. NATIONAL BANK OF SARDINIA. The report of the President of the Council and Finance Minister, Count Cavour, on the monetary crisis, which has been already referred to as recommending a repeal of the existing legal restrictions of the rate of interest, proceeds to discuss the situation of the National Bank. It appears that, with a nominal capital of 32 millions of lire, and a paid-up capital of 24, the circulation of its notes has never yet exceeded 45 millions, the average belie , 35 to 38 millions ; and the amount of deposits liable to be withdrawn on demand has never been more than 3. During nine months of the present year the bank has imported specie to the amount of 50,310,000 f., but has not been able, with all its efforts, to maintain a circulation sufficient for the wants of the trad ing community, and Count Cavour is, therefore, convinced that the o n ly wa y t o ena bl e the bank to ex tend its operations, is to alter the proportion which the law has prescribed between its metallic reserre and its obligations. That proportion has hitherto been fixed at one-third. The managing council of the bank has re quested that it may be altered to one-fourth, and also that it may be calculated with reference to the amount of the bank notes alone, and not that of the bank notes together with the deposits payable on demand. After explaining his objections to these particular proposals, Count Cavour states his reasons for preferring, instead of a fixed proportion, a sliding scale which shall vary with the extent of the operations of the bank. He makes a distinction between that portion of the bank note cir culation which is employed in the ordinary business of the people, the amount of which is tolerably constant, and that portion which is en; aged in extensive com mercial speculations and manufaoturing enterprises, and is liable to great and sudden fluctuations. Be is of opinion that the bank should keep a moderate reserve of specie to provide for the first mentioned pact of its circulation, but that the reserve should be fixed at a larger proportion with regard to the secind ; and he therefore suggests the adoption of a system by which the proportion to be maintained between the metallic reserve and the liabilities of the bank, instead of being a constant and uniform proportion, shall be one gradually increasing with the increase of their amount. In seasons of the utmost depression the circulation of the Sardinian National Bank has never descended below 30 millions, and the Minister therefore thinks it would be safe to say that the proportion of 1-sth instead of 1-3 d will be sufficient, if ever the circulation should fall be low that amount ; above that amount, the proportion of 1-3 d cannot be regarded as exorbitant ; but there is a point where the circulation of the batik notes, added to the deposit accounts, has attained an amount beyond which their fluctuations are likely to be serious and frequent ; that point is fixed by Count Cavour at 60 millions, and he proposes that the proportion of specie to be maintained shall then be raised to one-half, instead of one-third, the amount of the notes and deposits. This is the effect of the royal decree, which was signed by Victor Emmanuel on the 6th inst. In the same report Count Cavour enters into a comparison of the favourable situation in which the Sardinian Bank will be placed by the adoption of his system with that of the Bank of France at the present moment. He expects that the Bank of Sardinia will be enabled, by the modifications proposed, to extend its circulation by five, six, or ten millions, and afford the relief to the manufacturing and commercial classes of which at present they are so much in want. The assent of the Legislature will be required definitively to enact the measures he has recommended ; but in the meantime the provisional decree of Nov. 6 will immediately come into force. CHARGE AGALVST TIVO MILITARY OFFICERS. Yesterday, at the Canterbury Police Court, two offi cers who gave the names (supposed to be fictiti ous ) o f Robert Gibson, ensign, 29th Itegimt nt, and John Stace, were charged with assaulting Edwin Gill. Two cases of a similar kind were compromised by the friends of the accused. Mr. Gill, however, had refused to withdraw the complaint. It appeared that ou Saturday evening the defendants were seen near the Fountain Hotel, with a third officer, having the sobriquet of " Brown." Two of them were provided with riding whips, and they were heard to say , that money was cheap, an d t h ey would haven " spree " somehow. They then proceeded through several streets, violently attacking several persons, including an old man and women, and caus . ag the greatest uproar and excitement. The crowd increased as they progressed towards the barracks, until the police arrived, and took them to the station-house, amidst yells, hisses, and great confusion. The complainant deposed that on Saturday evening, as he was about to enter his residence, Stace hit him a violent blow in his side. Witness had not spoken to either of the defendants. Stace afterwards repeated the assault. Complainant followed them down the street, and s aw t h em attack an old woman, also an °4 man who w as se ll ing sponges.
