.MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The inquiries for money continue on a moderate scale, although an occasional increase is apparent in the supply of commercial bills, and the quota tions remain in a steady position. There were no bullion transactions of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. No material alteration was exhibited in the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Gold is now about 2.loths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and 4-10ths higher here than in Hamburg. At the meeting of the Intercolonial Royal Nlail Steam Company a dividend at the rate of 7 : 1 per cent. per annum was declared. Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yester day was very dull, and prices tended downwards. The sales were about 5,000 bales. The directors of the Scinde Railway Company have made the first call of £5 per share on the third issue of capital, payable on the 28th inst. A meeting was held to-day of the creditors of Messrs. Amott Brothers, of St. Paul's Churchyard, when a balance-sheet was presented, showing liabi lities amounting to £20,792, and assets to £16,348. It was resolved to accept a composition of 12s. 62. in the pound, in instalments extending over a period of nine months, The following information is from Mr. Slaughter, the Secretary for the Railways Department of the Stock Exchange : " The Stock Exchange Committee has decided to have a separate section in the official Sharo Lists with the follow ing heading :—' Preference Shares and Stocks with Divi dends contingent on the Profits of each separate Year.' This section will comprise the several classes of railway preference capital raised under the. Acts passed in 1859-60 and, 1861, in all of which, with some trifling exceptions, the claim for dividends is limited to the profits of one year. The new section is now in course of preparation, and will be ready in a few days." There is a decrease of about £2,600 in the traffic receipts of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway for the past week. The Royal Mail steamer La Plata has arrived from the West Indies, with £460,000 in specie. The all.absorbing topic of conversation in the City this afternoon is the intelligence brought by the steamer La Plata, relative to the forcible re v raoval of the Confederate Commissioners from the 1 Royal Mail Company's steamer Trent, while on her passage from Havannah to St. Thomas. The impression is that it will lead to serious compli e cations. The Funds in consequence have been unfavour ably influenced, a sudden decline of about per cent. having taken place, and the utmost consternation consequently prevails. Consols are about 931, -7., for transfer, and 911 2 1, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 92k to 1; Exchequer Bills, March, 7s. prem. ; ditto June, 10s. prem, ; India Stock remains at 227 ; and the 5 per Cent. ditto at 196; 5 4 Considerable excitement also pervades the Foreign Market, and a general decline has taken place. Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to 81 and 811 ; ditto 1858 to '72, 721 ; but the £lOO Bonds have further improved to 751. Mexican are heavy at 281, Spanish at 52, but the Deferred are firmer at 43 ; the Certificates have shown no Material alteration, being 61. Dutch 21- per Cents. remain at 65, and the 4 per Cents. at 100 k. Vene zuelan have improved to 231. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been limited, and prices have been depressed in consequence of a few speculative sales in connec tion with the liquidation of the half -monthly account. South Eastern have declined ss. ; Cale donian and Midland, 10s.; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 155.; North Eastern (Berwick), however, has improved 55., and London and Brighton, £l. The Foreign and coluului vary inactive, and prices generally tend downwards. Grand Trunk of Canada realise 20 to 201 ; Great Indian Peninsula, 1001 101 ; Seinde, 1031. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares barely sustain previous rates. iy ht n- S ar. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 92k I 8 per Cent. Consols Annuities New 3 p er C e nt.

BY adrices from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per £1 sterling Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sitlit is 1071 to 108 per cent., which, when compared With the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England, But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present Price leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. A letter from Berne, dated the 23d of November , says :—" Yesterday and to-day the Federal C ouncil held two long sittings, in which a new Note was discussed, to be addressed to France concerning the Valley des Dappes. The greatest secrecy will be preserved in respecting the tenour of that Note until it has reached its destination. It will then be published in the Federal Gazette. The French Minister has had another interview with the Federal Council." A Toronto letter says :—" Our fall weather has been beautiful. The leaves of ithe trees are beginning to darken, however, and slight frosts for some nights past in dicate the approach of winter. Further north there has been a heavy shower of snow, and in the course of a few weeks we shall have a visit from this northern product also. Cold weather, however, does not come in dullest till January or February.” SAVING LIFE ON THE EAST COAST.—The National Lifeboat Institution has, during the present month, paid £l2O to the crews of some of its lifeboats on the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts, for saving 48 persons from the following vessels :—Four men from the schooner Fly of Whitby ; ten men from the smack A dventnre, of Harwich ; five men from the brig Lively, of Clay, Norfolk ; seven men from the pilot cutter Whim ; eleven men from the lugger Saucy Pass; and eleven men from the brig Undaunted, of Aber .uecii. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Ammale left Orleans House, Twickenham, yesterday for ~fatfleld, on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury. The Earl and Countess of Derby are entertaining a Succession of visitors at Knowsley Park, Lancashire. The Countess of Fife arrived in town a few days s ince from S cot l an d. Th e ea rl is expected early next week . sia'lordship has taken a house in Grosvenor-place, late the residence of Lord Lilford. It is said that the executors of the late Royal Aca demician, Turner, aro in possession of un p ublished. ot ters and p a p ers w hi c h illustrate in a new way altogether t he details of Turner's life. ° PENING OF TUE CLEVELAND R AILWAY.--011 Sat urday the n ew li ne o f r ailway from the Tees to Skelton • Cleveland was opened for traffic.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ;Sittings at Nisi Prius, beff•re the Lord Chief Justice and a (Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an indictment for obstructing the public road by passengers going and returning from the railway sta tions. At the opening address of Mr. Sergeant Knowles to the jury, counsel on both sides agreed to take a verdict for the Crown, subject to a special case for the opinion of the Court. STEGGLES Y. THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE NEW RIVER COMPANY, This is a claim of damages (172) for injury done to the plaintiff's cellar and house, in 01d-street, Whitecross street, on the 26th of November last, by the leakage of a wooden plug, or bursting of one of the company's pipes, and overilooding the plaintiff's premises with water. On taking out the plug in front of the plaintiff's house a jet of water rose 30 feet high. Mr. Sergeant Hayes and Mr. Charles Pollock appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., represented the defendants, who tried to shift their liability on the parish of St. Luke, and that the injury done was purely accidental, and that they wore not liable. The plaintiff's witnesses proved that the service pressure on the square inch varied from 131 b. to 181 b., and 101 b. to 251 b. on the main pressure, and did not consiier the plug used sufficient. 1001 1 The case is not yet concluded. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE S. CAMPBELL. This bankrupt, the wen-known manager and popular actor, now appeared before the Court in quite a new cha racter to him, who has hitherto taken the comic parts. Mr. Beard said that the bankrupt, after having been many years manager of London theatres, had taken that of Liverpool, but the speculation had turned out very unfor tunate to him, who was a considerable loser. The debts were confined to matters connected with the theatre, and no creditor offered any opposition. The bankrupt passed. The debts are about £2so;' assets uncertain. IN RE OWENS. An adjudication was made, on the application of Mr Weston, Moorgate-street, against this bankrupt, a contrac tor at Dulwich. The debts are stated to be about X 3,00 0: but the losses are very heavy. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY). OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) TIIE MURDER. IN DRURY-COURT. Richard Reeves, 18, basket maker, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Reeves, _ _ . The prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, was defended by Mr. Sleigh. The evidence offered against the prisoner was the same as that which was given at Bow-street Police-court, but in a more condensed form. The material points, for instance, were the missing of the child, and the finding of her dead body in the coal-cellar of the house in Drury•court, after the prisoner had sent word home to his father that he had strangled her with a rope in that place. Mr. Sleigh did not in any instance cross-examine any of the witnesses, and, in his address to the jury, said he could not urge them to acquit the prisoner on the ground of insanity, but whatever result they might arrive at, he felt sure they would take the most merciful view of the case. Baron Bramwell, in summing up, said there was not the slightest evidence of insanity. Unfortunately the prisoner had a drunken father, who was subject to delirium tremens, but that had no bearing whatever on the case. The jury retired at half-past 12, and in about a quarter of an hour returned into court. Having answered to their names, The Clerk of the Arraigns said—Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed to your verdict ? Foreman—We have. Clerk—How say you, is the prisoner at the bar, Richard Reeves, guilty or not guilty ? Foreman—Guilty; but the jury strongly recommend the prisoner to mercy, on the ground of his youth and the bad example set him. Baron Bramwell—Your recommendation, gentlemen, shall be sent to the proper quarter immediately. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Richard Reeves, the jury have found you guilty of murder ; have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you ? Prisoner—(who heard the verdict pronounced without the slightest emotion)—No, sir, I've not. The Usher then made proclamation for silence during the passing of the sentence of death, and Mr. Baron Bramwell, having put on the black cap, said— Prisoner at the bar, the jury have found you guilty of murder, and according to the evidence I don't see hew they IC to Lay,' v uv pabi3 upon you the sentence of death. The sentence of the Court is, that you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to a place of execution, and that you be there hanged by the neck until you be dead, and that your body bo afterwards interred within the precincts of the prison. The Rev. Mr. Davies, the ordinary of Newgate, occupied a seat on the bench in full canonicals, but as the learned judge did not finish the sentence with the words "and may the Lord have mercy on your soul," ho did not pronounce his " Amen" as usual. The prisoner was then removed from the dock, ' NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) STEALING LETTERS. Samuel Raw, a letter carrier, was indicted for stealing a letter containing half a sovereign, the property of her Ma- jesty's Postmaster-General. The evidence was of the ordinary nature. The prisoner was a letter carrier in the lottenham-court-road district, and the letter containing the money he ought to have de livered at the address thereon, instead of which he appro priated the contents to his own use. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and Mr. Justice Byles sentenced the prisoner to four years penal servitude. THE, EDINBURGH GA7A FOREIGN RAILWAYS. !O Algerian A Antwerp .

ILATEST INTELLIGEN SOUTH.CE FRO2II 211 E On Monday four bodies were rescued from the ruins of the house which fell on Sunday morning, and three more at 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning, in all 29 lives ascertained to be lost. It is quite cer tain that others are still beneath the rubbish. When the work of excavation was discontinued on Sunday night it was resolved to pull down the back wall and tall gables before continuing the search for those entombed. Nearly all Monday was spent in dragging down the back wall with ropes, and in attempting to pull down the eastern gable the pile of chimneys of this gable, rising nearly 40 feet above the adjoining building, and to an extreme height of 85 feet, was only partially brought down when, shortly before 5 o'clock, it was found neces sary to suspend operations owing to the darkness. At intervals in the afternoon the labour of exhu mation was proceeded with, and all night also it was carried on. Two of the bodies found only had been identified—namely, Mrs.Mackay, aged 80, and John Sutherland, her grandchild, who were found in bed together. The bodies were all mutilated, and some of them were so much crushed that death seemed to have been immediate. A dog and a cat were rescued alive, and a linnet in its cage, which had been left upon the wall as the house fell, was saved by a fireman, who mounted a long ladder to reach it. From the testimony of survivors it would seem that the noise of creaking timbers was heard for six or eight minutes before the house fell en masse. One man describes it as like the rumbling of gravel, another like a railway engine passing through the house. A whole family of nine, named Baxter, escaped, the father driving them before him into the staircase almost naked, and himself, coming last, had to jump over the opening chasm, The staircase was common both to the front and back tenement, and did not fall. Another family named Macdonald, of seven, lost two of their number, boys, who were forgotten in the first moments of flight and could not afterwards be rescued ; they are still in the ruins. A family named Irvine were all lost except one child, who was afterwards rescued by the firemen. Several other families had a divided fate, some being pre served, others crushed in the ruins. Nearly all the bodies extricated have been persons found in bed, indicating that most of those awake escaped. In one or two cases persons who, after the first moment of alarm, went back to recover property, perished. An investigation is in progress as to the cause of the accident, but according to the system followed in Scotland it is privately conducted. TD'S DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very small. The trade, however, was in a sluggish state, yet no further change took place in prices, compared with Monday. The supply of foreign wheat was moderately good, and sales progressed slowly in most descriptions, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and the quotations were steadily maintained. Barley, the supply of which was moderately extensive, sold heavily, at Monday's decline in its value. Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. _ _ Good and fine oats changed hands steadily, at full prices but inferior qualities were in slow request, at Monday's reduction. The demand for beans was far from active, at the late fall in the quotations. Peas sold slowly, at previous currencies. Generally speaking, the flour trade was inactive, yel prices were fairly supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. Eng1i5h........ 510 1,300 730 1 250 1 540 sack Irish ..

The Confederate States Government, in concert with the state authorities, has recommended to the planters the following policy as to the cotton crop:- 1. To keep the cotton on the plantations, and to burn it wherever the enemy may advance. 2. To forward cargoes of cotton for all vessels which shall break the blockade laden with muni tions of war or other necessary stores. The English steam ship Bermuda, which broke the blockade at Savannah, is now loading in that port a cargo of cotton for Liverpool. The act of the Confederate Congress of July last, permitting the export of cotton from the Confede rate sea ports, and only forbidding its export land• ways into the Northern States, remains in full force. The blockade is utterly ineffective. On the Ist of October the steamer Theodora ran out of this port in broad day, through the southern channel, and passing around and in full view of the Federal blockading squadron, with colours flying, reentered the port on the same day by the northern channel. She was under command of Captain Peagrim, now of Nashville. This has been done to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of the blockake. Ten days afterwards the same steamer left this port for Cuba, having on board the new ministers to England and France, Having landed them at Car denas, the Theodora proceeded to Havannah, and returned safely into the port of Savannah with a valuable cargo of arms. _ Yesterday: the 25th October, three ships from Havannah, with valuable cargoes, ran the blockade in safety, and entered the port of Savannah. DEFENCES 01 NEW ORLEANS. The following description of the defences of New Orleans has reached us by the last mail : "New Orleans, Oct. 25. " The Mississippi is fortified so as to be impass able for any hostile fleet or flotilla. Forts Jackson and St. Philip are armed with 170 heavy guns (68- pounders, rifled by Bashley Britten, and received from England). The navigation of the river is stopped by a dam at about a quarter of a mile from the above forts. No flotilla on earth could force that dam in less than two hours, during which it would be within short and cross range of 170 guns of the largest calibre, many of which would be served with red-hot ehot, numerous furnaces for which have been erected in every fort and at every battery. " In a day or two we shall have ready two iron cased floating batteries. Their plates are 41 inches thick, of the best"hanarnered iron, received from England and France. Each iron-cased battery will mount 20 68-pounders, placed so as to skim the water, and strike the enemy's hull between wind and water. We have an abundant supply of incen diary shells, cupola furnaces for molten iron, Con greve rockets, and fire-ships. " Between New Orleans and the forts there is a constant succession of earth works. At the plain of Chalmette, near Janin's property, there are redoubts armed with rifled cannon which have been found to be effective at five miles' range. A ditch 30 f2et wide and 20 deep extends from the Missis sippi to La Cypriene. " In forts St. Philip and Jackson there are 3,000 men, of whom a goodly portion are experienced artillerymen and gunners who have served in the navy. " At New drleans itself we have 32,000 infantry, and as many more quartered in the immediate neighbourhood. In discipline and drill they are far superior to the Northern levies. We have two very able and active generals, who possess our entire confidence—General Mansfield Lovell and Brigadier General Ruggles. For commodore we have old Hollins—a Nelson in his way. " We are relay to give the Yankees a hot recep tion when they some. I write you in a very sedate, though confident mood. Around me all are mad with excitement and rage. Their only fear is that Oho Luvu.k/vib way uuc appeaL. We have made such extensive preparations to receive them that it were vexatious if their ' invincible armada' escaped the fate we have in store for it." 7ADIER. SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday.—This vessel, respect ing the performances of which on an ocean voyage great interest has b'..?en felt in nautical and engineer ing circles, returned to this port last night from Alexandra At the time of the Mooitan's launch and run roman° Southampton, and also on occasion. of her official trial at Stokes Bay, full descriptions of the improvements and mechanical peculiarities introduced in the machinery department, and of the results of her performances, as far as they could then be tested, were published in the San. One of the most novel features is the smallness of her horse-power as compared with her tonnage, and the reduced size of her boilers, which are con structed on Mr. A. Lamb's patent, and which are only about half the size of the tubular boilers employed in ships of the Royal Navy for the supply of steam to engines of the same nominal horsepower. The effect of the prin. ciple adopted in the Mooltan, if successful, will be to materially reduce the 2onsumption of coal, and hence to lessen the expenses and difficulties attend ant upon ocean steam navigation. It appears that the most remarkable and successful results have been accomplished in this respect during the recent voyage of the Mooltan to and from Alexandria. On the outward voyage Ehe was 268,1. hours under way, running 2,951 miles, with an actual consump tion of 305 tons of coal, and coming home she was 286 hours under way, consuming 325 tons of coal. The total quantity of coal consumed, therefore, during a voyage of nearly 6,000 miles, has been 630 tons, against an expenditure of about 1,200 tons in other ships of the same tonnage employed on this line. This is a saving of very nearly half, while an average speed has been maintained out and home of 10.61 nots. The average expenditure of coal per hour was 2,5741 b., and the average power taken by the in dicator every watch 1,230 horses. During the voyage the Mooltan's draught of water was 19ft. 4in. ; average midship section at this draught, 558 ft. ; and average displacement at same, 3,335 tons. The boilers supplied abundance of steam at 201 b. ; surface condensers, average vacuum, 27! in. These results must be very satisfactory to her engine -builders, Messrs. Humphrys and Tennant, and to the patentee of her boilers, and all others concerned, while they are of vast importance to every one interested in steamships. It is important to observe that these results have been obtained over a run of nearly 6,000 miles, with the ordinary coal used by all the company's steamers, and with the ship's own stokers ; and hence they should not be compared with those obtained at the trial of a ship at the measured mile, or on a few hours' work ing of her engines at moorings, because these short trials are always made under the most favourable circumstances, with picked coal of the best quality, clean Ares, and stokers of the greatest skill. BOROUGH HOP. Good and fine hops sell somewhat freely, at extreme rates. In other kinds a fair business is doing, at full quotations. IVHITECHAPEL. The supply of meat is moderately extensive.

The Confederate war steamer Sumter, which has done such damage to Federal merchant shipping, was built at Montreal. She was first called the Colon and afterwards the Marquis de Habana. She is a screw steamer, 437 tons burden, 180 feet long, and 30 feet beam. She is armed with eight 32-pounder rifle cannon, and one 82-pounder rifled. Her bulwarks are so constructed that her armament cannot be perceived by passing vessels. She ran the block ade of New Orleans on the 30th of June last, although the Federal man-of-war Boocklyn was watching her. The following are amongst the Federal ships which have been captured by tho Sumter, viz., the Golden Rocket, the Cuba, the Machiaso, the Ben Dunning, the Albert Adams, the West Wind, the Louisa Reiman, the Naiad, and the Abby Bradford. Tho Federal man-of-war Crusader, Niagara, Keystone State, Powhattan, and Iroquois have been sent in pursuit of her. The Sumter, it is reported, was captured off Barbadoes by tho Powhattan or Iroquois about the Ist Oct. Her commander was Caytain Raphael Semmes. The Professorship of Mathematics at the govern ment College at Agra, in Upper India, has been declared vacant. It is announced that candidates must have been wranglers at Cambridge, ov within the first half of the list of senior optimes. The stipend is 350 rupees per month (about £l2O a-year), and 1,200 rupees are to be allowed in lieu of passage money and outfit. THE WESTERN FISHERIES. —During the past week various quantities of fish have been taken on the Devonshire and Cornish coasts. At the Newquay fishery the boats have taken from 1,000 to 7,C00 fish per boat. At Porthleven hook-and-line fish have been plentiful, but no great catch of pilchards has taken place. Large shoals have been seen in the bay, but they were too deep. At Newlyn the pilchard is given up for the season, and the seines are hauled up. CIIA.I2LESZON AND BULL'S BAY. Reliable news from " Seeessia" being scarce, we have read with interest a letter in a Scottish con temporary, the Edinburgh Daily Review, from a special correspondent in the Southern States. This gentleman, writing from Charleston, South Caro line, draws a gloomy picture of the stagnation in that once busy harbour. But at the same time he give us an idea of the way in which the enterprising citizens of the Palmetto State contrive to mitigate in some degree the inconvenience of the blockade. He tells how, under the guidance of a friendly cot ton planter, he made a night journey to a point on the coast, of which he only indicates the position, but which can be no other than the Bull's Bay named by the New York papers as a probable des tination of the powerful squadron of war vessels and transports that is now said to be engaged against Port Royal. Embarking with the mystery of a conspirator on board a small steam-tug laden with the most ex plosive and combustible goods, this witness for the press is carried down the dreary estuary of the Ashley and Cooper rivers, passing a few dark and rakish privateers and one or two unfinished ships intended for the Confederate navy. Steaming boldly for the open sea, he and his friend glide by Forts Sumter and Moultrie, which, together with the new 1.341. th-vrvi Iso and batteries on shore, appear to make of Charleston a miniature Cronstadt. Creeping along the coast with their hearts ill at ease, for the lights of the blockading frigate shine at no great distance, and the breakers are unpleasantly near, the adventurous voyagers at length get into quiet water in a narrow sound below a IoAT reedy islet and the mainland. They make but slow progress, for the tug has a couple of scows in tow, with heavy cargoes of cotton and turpentine, and the channel being of no great depth. these are constantly stick ing hard and fast upon sand-banks. There shoot forth, however, from secluded creeks lid inlets, lurking boats, by th© aid of which tho tug is sent forward before the unfriendly dawn can reveal her position to the Federal man-of-war. The little expedition thus reaches in safety the secluded spot where the unconquerable genius of trade has opened a new outlet for the produce of the South. The scene is thus described : It was broad daylight when we emerged from this reed fringed creek upon a space of open water, skirted by broad rice fields dotted hero and there with square antiquated houses and contiguous collections of negro huts. But re bellion had made this quiet bay a busy focus of industry, and as we panted up to a new wharf along and near which 26 vessels were lying, and I saw the desperate traffic carried on in utter defiance of the blockade, I gave the Southerners credit for greater energy than I had believed possible. Among the ships I observed the notorious privateer Sumter, which had arrived the day before with a prize laden with valuable silks and wines, two other privateers, and a cap tured Boston clipper, which was being cut down and pierced for guns. The other vessels were either prizes or merchant-men, owned in Liverpool or New York, which having brought in cargoes of foreign goods and munitions of war, were being loaded with race, cotton, and turpentine. Nearly all the cotton, it was stated, would find its way to New England. Five ships, I was told, had sailed during the night. It was from this harbour that Mr. Slidell and his friends sailei for Cuba, on their way to Europe, and until its whereabouts is discovered, and the mouths of these inlets effectually closed with stones or sunk lighters, the blockade is a mere sham, and the trade with Charleston vir- tually open. In the course of a tour through the adjoining States, the special correspondent found other ports where a thriving import and export business ap peared to be carried on, without the slightest con cealment or chance of interruption. At Wilmington, North Carolina, no hostile squadron had ever troubled the repose of the prosperous and contented merchants, the embouchure of Cape Fear River having apparently been overlooked by the official geographers of Washington. Their negligence is, however, very excusable, and it is to be hoped that the Federal Government will soon have the good sense to acknowledge that in attempting to enforce a blockade from the Chesapeake to Matamoros, along a coast line of nearly three thousand miles, they have undertaken a task which even the combined navies of the world would have considerable difficulty in accomplishing. The smuggler has invariably proved himself more than a match for the coast-guard, and there are no risks which men are not willing to run for the sake of high profits_ Napoleon the First, in his day of most undisputed power, was unable to exclude English manufactured goods from the continent of Europe, although every harbour and frontier port where an entry could be effected was supposed to be jealously guarded by a military force. Our bad success with the slavers on the coast of Africa, and in the neighbourhood of Havana, shows that the war steamer is as powerless as the Custom-house officer to control the operations of Demand and Supply, and teaches us that, whether it be for good or evil, commerce will be carried on, in spite of the most vigorous and persevering efforts to put an end to it. No doubt it may be easy for the United States' Government to take possession of Bull's Bay, and of a dozen other points on the Southern coast, but it must always remain an impossibility to guard every one of the thousand lagoons and inlets that admit the waters of the Atlantic into sequestered nooks and corners which can by a little labour be brought into communication with the great depots of trade. The entrances to those harbours are generally protected by long, straggling chains of islands, and dangerous reefs and sand-banks, well known to the pilots of the locality, but insuperable barriers to a stranger attempting to make hostile descent. Meanwhile, with every gale that blows from the north-east, the blockading squadron must of necessity provide for its own safety by standing out to sea, and leave the coast clear to the watchful smuggle.—Examiner. ARRIVAL THEVonAislim LoF entwas te cßEßMUDAtheLiverpool(S.S.) Yesterday Exchange in conse qu ence of the following announcement being posted imnuthheßanßsetwsroom :—" The Bermuda has arrived at Havre with 1,780 bales of cotton." This is the same vessel which ran the Savannah blockade some months ago, with a cargo of supplies for the Confederates from Liverpool. The arrivals of the Nashville and the Bermuda show clearly that the blockade is anything but efficient off Savannah, and it was confidently stated yesterday that the Bermuda is not the only vessel which has run the blockade within the last mouth. s THE NABIIVILLE. At the Mansion-house yesterday, the Lord Mayor, cowards the close of the business of the day, said— I should be glad if the gentlemen connected with the press would be good enough to rectify a state ment which appears in a communication from Southampton relative to an application to the magistrates there yesterday. The report to which I refer states that " Mr. Pearcey banded to the chairman a letter from the Lord Mayor of London, stating that a similar application had been made to him at the Mansion-house, but that he had thought it his duty to pass the matter over to the authori ties at Southampton, at which post the Nashville had called and still remained. His lordship informed Captain Nelson that had the Nashville been lying in any of the London docks he should have granted the application." This relates to an application made to me here on Saturday, in my private room, by some gentlemen who wished to have a search warrant with reference to certain pro perty alleged to be on board the Nashville and to belong to Capt. Nelson or the owners of the Harvey Birch. I told them I had no jurisdiction in the case; that the ship was lying at Southampton, and if there was any jurisdiction in the matter it would be with the magistrates of that town. Knowing personally Mr. Coles, the Mayor of Southampton, and naturally feeling sympathy for the poor man who had lost his ship and property, I undertook to write a letter, simply introducing Captain Nelson to:that gentleman ; but I expressed no opinion on the case, and certainly should not have thought of issuing a search warrant even if the ship had been in the London Docks, because even there the vessel would not have been within the jurisdiction of the magistrates of the city of London. No doubt a gentleman in such a position as a captain who had lost his ship, especially under the peculiar circumstances with which the public are familiar in this case, would naturally excite sympathy, without reference to the country to which he belonged, and I admit that I felt sym pathy for him, as I do for all the people who are engaged in the unhappy struggle which is being waged on the further side of the Atlantic, whether I , Federals or Confederates. MB TRADE OUIRA.GE A 2' SHEFFIELD. SHEFFIELD, TUESDAY. This morning, between three and four o'clock, a man was apprehended on suspicion of being con cerned in the outrage in Acorn-street last Saturday morning, when a tin of combustibles was thrown into the house of George Westnidge, a tender grinder. The chief constable (Mr. Jackson) him sa, with detective-officers Airey and Brayshaw, seized the man at his own dwelling iu Woollen lane, Gatefield, Upperthorpe. The man is a stove fender grinder (the same trade as Westnidge). Hi s name is Joseph 'Thompson. While the proceedings were going on before the magistrates at the Town Hall this morning a mes senger arrived from the Infirmary, bringing a letter to the effect that Mrs. Westnidge (who was the m ost seriously burnt ), was so much worse that it would be unsafe to delay the taki ng o f her deposi tions. Vincent Corbett, Esq., at once went to the Infirmary (accompanied by Mr. Jackson and Mr. Thorpe), for the purpose of taking down the unfor tunate woman's statement. _ We understand that the police believe, not only that they have apprehended the guilty person, but that they will be able to make out a case against him. It would at present be premature to state anything as to the nature of the probable evidence. For the same reason it is considered unadvisable to publish the dying woman's statement. MALTON MARTINMAS FAIR, Nov. 23. The annual s' atute fair for the hiring of farm servants was held to-day, and was very largely attended. The very forward state of farm work, favoured by the beautiful autumn, has had the effect of lowering wages fully 20 per cent., the older men being very slowly hired indeed. Farmers, however, hire shepherds more readily—the result of the immense turnip crop, and the consequent largo folding of sheep. On the whole, it is feared much distress will bo found among the unhired labourers duri n g the winter, the " statutes" held la neighbouring towns being equally dull. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT DEPTFORD. The trial of George Inkpen, for the wilful murder of Margaret Edwards, at Deptford, was, on the application of Mr. Sleigh, postpone until to-morrow morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AND WANTON DAMAGE.—Wm. Brooks, a Low-looking lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following wanton robbery : _ _ _ _ . James Crawley, ostler to kr. Joseph Evans, of 34, New Bond-street, said—This morning at half-past eighl:, while exercising a horse in the yard I saw the prisoner come out of a coach-house. I asked him what he was doing there, and he said he had been there to lie down. I made him go back to see that the things were all right, and on open ng a carriage door I found that the cushion had been cut open and a quantity of horse hair taken out. I then called in a constable who was passing, and on making a further search I found that the cushions from two broughams had been removed, some of the nozzles taken from the lamps, some of the metal beading torn off the carriage, and seven plated caps taken from the wheels, and also the lamp sockets. Mr. Evans, livery-stable keeper, said the articles would only fetch at a marine-store dealer's a few shillings, while the damage and the articles taken, would put him to £2O expense. Inspector Webb showed the magistrate the beadingwhich had been torn off in tho most wanton manner, and said numerous robberies had taken place of late by boys hawk ing newspapers for a blind. Morgan, 183 C, having proved finding tho articles on the prisoner, Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a most deliberate robbery and committed the prisoner for trial. THAMES. THE GREAT SILK ROBBERY AND RE-EXAMINATION OF THE PRisortEns.—James Hunter, a publican, who was formerly landlord of the Rod Deer Tavern, in Cambridge road, Bethnal-green, Edwin Turnbull, a lighterman, James Gillett, a marine storedealer, and Thomas Smith, a carman, were again arraigned this day, before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being concerned in stealing 10 bales of silk on the river, on the 14th of March last. The case was proceeding when our reporter despatched his parcel, and will not terminate until a late hour. The case will be again adjourned, and it is expected to last, at intervals, until Christmas. The St. Katharine Dock Company have already expended upwards of £1,500 in the prosecution of Debock, Newton, Barker, and Crane, and in the proceedings against the four men under exami nation this day. The Court was crowded, and there was a large number of Hunter's friends in attendance. It has been announced that the Exchequer-bills dated in Juno last, and which now bear 3I per cent. interest, will, at the expiration of six months from their time of issue—namely, on the 11th December, be reduced to three per cent. Some persons have thought it possible that in the present state of the money market a still lower rate might have been proposed ; but, looking at the number of floating securities which now compete with Exchequer bills, such a step would have been impolitic. The March bills, which were issued under the old regulations at 2d per day, or £3 Os 10d per annum, cannot be subjected to any alteration until they have run for one year. COUNT CAyouß.—The municipality at Turin has ordered a slab of marble to be inserted in the front of the palace in that town which lately belonged to Count Cavour, bearing the following inscription :—" Count Camille de Cavour was born in this house, August 10, 1810, and died in the same, June 6, W6I A A memorial placed by tile mu ' nicipality." 30k k :14 _ 113 12 14 I a ios 981 I 118 s' 48 s' 9 , 4 4 71f I 451 6 131 k 2 11 p 101 1 d 90} 891, 90" 100 100 100 100 100 100 FOREIGN MINES.
