` *-11 M A TZ u T i. ~~ .t:,L..: r~.e~t::v4..i:. s TELLICI:i; lITY S Two o'( The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly yet firmly, and prices of Americans were 1-16 d higher. All other kinds were unchanged. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. The Rail way Share Market manifested some improvement, but only a limited business was transacted. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather in the Channel the various foreign mails have failed to arrive. A further call, making 8/. per share paid up, has been announced by the Directors of the Cork and Youghal Railway Company. This company pos sesses borrowing powers, but they have not yet been exercised, and it is supposed that the amount of capital paid and to be called on the shares, together with theseforfeited, which the directors will probably be able to place at a further period, will be sufficient to complete the undertaking. Another extensive fraud, similar to that com mitted by Robson on the Crystal Palace Com pany, is reported to have been discovered in the offices of a large railway company. The amount involved is _ roughly estimated at 150,000/., but the pa . rticulars are not yet fully ascertained. An excellent plan has been adopted by the Crystal Palace Company, which might be suce , esfully followed by other public com panies —namely, that of giving notice to trana ferers of shares whenever transfers are presented. By this means fraudulent acts of transfer-clerks or other officials would in most instances be detected. This morning the half -yearly meetiug of the West Flanders Railway Company was held at the offices, when the report- was 'read and adopted. The dividend proposed by the Directors of 2s. 3d. per share was passed unanimously. The rumour circulated yesterday, and mentioned in The Sun last evening, that the Bauk,Directors had refused to discount brokers' bills having more than 30 days to run, is believed to be substantially correct, although no formal resolution to that effect was adopted. The Directors, at their meeting to -day, however, owing to the increased pressure on their resources, have found it necessary to make a further application of the "screw," the minimum rate having been raised to 7 per cent., without any reference to the date of the paper presented for discount. It is, however, understood that three months' bills will not be ne gotiated. This further alteration in the value of money indicates a most unwholesome state of things ; and although trade may be called' healthy at present, there can be no doubt that the caution and contraction which the enhanced value of accom modation will necessitate must eventually prove highly prejudicial in all departments of business. The market for English Securities • has been rather languid this,morning, and the transactions both real and speculative have been very limited. Increased anxiety is felt relative to the Money Market, and the increased restrictions im posed by the Bank of England directors, mentioned yesterday, have checked opera tions. Consols opened at about 92i for money, and 92/ 93 for account. Subsequently, they Were 92 g and 921 respectively. When the de cision of the Directors became known a slight parlic ensued, and Consol s f or D ecem b er were 92 but they have since been 921, and are now 92i s , The New Threes are officially marked 91i 3the Reduced 91± and 'Exchequer Bills 3s. discount to par.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner llolroyd.) IN BE BRAMWELL. EXTRAORDINARY CASE,-This bankrupt was described as of Royal Exchange-buildings, metal mErchant, and today was appointed for his last examination. Mr. Lawrence appeared for the assignees ; Mr. Link later, for the bankrupt; Mr. Chidley, for Mr. Hawkins, a creditor ; and Mr. Phillips, a solicitor, to oppose in person. Mr. Linklater, in the first place, applied to his Honour to sign a certificate under the Private Arrange ment Act, the bankrupt having assigned the whole of his property for the benefit of his creditors in September, 1854 ; but, by some accident, the usual certificate, al though drawn up, was not signed. Mr. Lawrence, the solicitor under the bankruptcy, handed in the certificate, which was undated and unsigned. The accounts, prepared by Messrs. Harding and Pot lein, under the arrangement and under the bankruptcy, wero put in. Mr. Phillips opposed the granting of the certificate ou several grounds, contending that if any fraud could be shown it disentitled the petitioner to a certificate. The first objection was that the bankrupt in both balance sheets had wholly omitted a settlement on his wife. He had aizo set down his property at. 4001., whereby accord ing to the premium it must have been insured for 2, 500/.,and he bad also insured his life, which, according to the premiums must have been for from 1,500/. to 2,0001. He had also an interest in the Sunderland Bank, not one word of which was stated. He had also been a partner in the firm of Maitland, Hatch, and Co., which was omitted. He also charged the bankrupt with having fraudulently contracted debts previously to the petition, and further urged minor grounds. Mr. Lawrence had never heard about the settlement, and had been told that the property insured (In Con naught-terrace) had been sold to the incoming tenant seven years ago. His Honour said the bankrupt could be examined, and his examination and that of several witnesses will occupy the whole of the day. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. LlvEnrcn, \Vednesday.'—Mr. Cyrus Field, of New York, Mr. J. W. Brett, of London, and the Messrs. Bright, of the. Magnetic Telegraph Company, attended at the Underwriters' Rooms this afternoon, for the pur pose of explaining to the gentlemen present the means intended to be adoptcd to connect, by submarine tele graph, this country and the United States of America. In the course of his observations, Mr. Field referred to the great importance of the object, the facilities afforded by the American Government in the despatch of the Arctic steamer t take the soundings without any ex pense to the company—adding that they were also fitting out a vessel to lay down the wires, which were now all ready. The company had been in communication with the English Government, who were also fitting out a vessel to assist in the operations ; and he had no doubt they would have instantaneous communication with the Western Continent before the next summer had passed over. Tue telegraphic line was already com pleted between Newfoundland and New York, a dis tance of 1,065 miles ; and the submarine cable to be laid between the coast of Newfoundland and the west coast of Ireland—a distance of 1,640 geographical, or 1,900 nautical miles—constitxted the remaining link in the line of communication. Mr. Brett and Mr. C. T. Bright entered into several interesting details respecting the advantages likely to accrue to the commerce of the world by the successful carrying out of the design. No doubt whatever existed of the practicability of laying the cable. An interesting convenatiou then took place between Mr. Edward Heath, Mr. fright, Mr. Field, and other gentlemen ; after which a vote of thanks was passed to the other gentlemen of the company for their information, after which the assembly dispersed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). MANSION-HOUSE. THE BULLION ROBBERY. We'lliant Pierce and James Burgess, till recently guards in the service of the South-Eastern Railway Company, were again placed at the bar, upon remand, in custody of Sergeant Smith and Sergeant Thornton, detective officers attached to the Scotland-yard division of the metropolitan police force, charged with having stolen 15,0001. worth of bullion from a package, in its transit from London to Folkestone, last May twelvemonth. Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Mr. Rees, the solicitor to the company, again appeared in support of the prosecu tion. Mr. Wontuer attended on behalf of Pierce; and Burgess was defended by Mr. Lewis. The prisoners were placed at the bar at 5 minutes to 2 o'clock, when Mr. Bodkin said the circumstances of the case were very remarkable. The witness adverted to yesterday had arrived, and he hoped to be able to proceed with the case and prove the guilt of the prisoners. The learned counsel then detailed the position of the pri soners when in the South-Eastern Railway Company's employ, and said that for some time suspicion had fallen on Burgess, but it was thought advisable not to pro mo.' against him on it. The robbery was one corn' mitted with great adroitness and deliberation by four per sons, the two prisoners, a man named Agar, now under sentence for forgery, and another man named Tester who had been in the company's service, but was not now in this country. The evidence of Agar was of curse tainted with crime, and he was a ma❑ who had for years been following crime as a source of profit; but he had been induced to make this communication not from any desire to shirk his part of the responsibility. It ap peared that Agar cohabit:d with a woman, by whom he had a child, and, having a natural affection for the woman and child, and before he was committed for trial for forgery, he deposited with Pierce 7001. in gold for the benefit of this woma*and child. After Agar's committal Pierce turned the woman adrift, and she being penniless gave what information she k new to the South Eastern Railway Company. After some fur ther remarks the learned counsel ()ailed Henry Agar, who deposed-4 am at present a con• vict in confinement at the Portland Works. I was con victed in September, 1855, and sentenced to transportation for life for forgery. I am one of the persons by whom a very large quantity of gold was stolen in transitu in May, 1855, on the South-Eastern Railway. I know the prisoners Pierce and Burgess. I have known Pierce about five or six years, and Burgess not quite so long. Pierce, when first I knew him, was out of employ; but Burgess was a guard on the line. I have several times been to the United States. The last time was about three years ago, and I returned about twelve months before the rob bery. Before I went the last time to the United States I bad a conversation with Pierce relative to a robbery f bullion, and on my return from America I met him by accident. (TVe shall give the conclusion in •ur last edition.) BOW-STREET. THE MURDER IN PARLIAMENT-STREET.—This day Robert liai•lc %las again placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, and was charged with the murder of Richard Cope. The evidence adduced against the prisoner was merely a repetition of that given at the coroner's inquest held on the body of the unfortunate man, Richard Cope, at the Westminster Hospital last evening, a report of which we published in our late edition, and which will be found in another part of The Sun. At the conclusion of the evidence the magistrate fully committed the prisoner for trial for the wilful murder of Richard Cope. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN ARTFUL TRICK.---Robert With y, an ill-looking young fellow, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bing ham, on the following charges. John Goddard, an intelligent lad, about 14 years of age, stated that he was an errand boy to a butcher in Fitzroy market. On the previous evening he was coming down Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, when he met the prisoner, who asked him to fetch him a quar tern of gin, and promised him a penny for his trouble. Witness said he would, and the prisoner then gave him a bottle and the half crown produced to pay for the liquor. He went into the public-house at the corner of Charles-street, and called for the gin, in payment for which he gave the barman the half-Drown. The landlord at once detected the coin to be a counterfeit, and asked him where he got it from. Witness told him ho had received it from a man outside who was waiting for the gin. The landlord fol lowed him out, and on his pointing to the prisoner as the man from whom he received the coin, he (the land. lord) gave him into custody. John Page, landlord of the Spread Eagle, Charles street, Oxford-street, said on detecting the half-crown to be a counterfeit, and hearing the lad's statement as to how he came possessed of it, he followed him outside the door, and raw him give the gin to the prisoner. Wit ness immediately collared him, when he denied all know ledge of the lad. A constable at that moment came up, and he gave him into custody. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded for a week. THAMES. ROBBING A CRIMEAN HERO OF HIS MEDAL,—Thos. Simonds, a strange looking fellow well known as a mendicant, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing a Crimean medal from George Barker, a soldier belonging to the Coldstream Guards. Barker stated that he bad lost his medal, and he was very much distressed about it. Mr. Yardley—Tell me how that came about. Barker stated that, on the 29th of October last, he went into the Cock and Neptune public-house, in RAt cliff-highway, near Wellelose-square, with a comrade; and had a pint of beer. The prisoner was there, and asked him to lot him have a look at his medal, which he had put into his pocket before he entered the public house. He handed it to the prisoner, who showed it to a civilian, and then took it into the bar, and kept it a long time before he brought it back. Soon afterwards the prisoner asked for the medal again, and he handed it to him. The prisoner handed it round the room, and then walked out of the house with it. He had just met the prisoner, and gave him into custody. The prisoner said he was not guilty. Barker—That is the man ; his right hand is maimed, and he has lost the ends of some of his fingers. Mr. Yardley—Look at his hand, Rociie. Roche, the gaoler of the court, held up the prisoner's right hand, which was bandaged and maimed in the way described by the soldier. Barker—That is the man, sir ; that is the hand that received my medal. Lewis Lane, waiter at the Cock and Neptune, saw the prisoner in the house on the 29th October, and saw him with the medal. Cressy, 221 Er, said the prisoner wan a cadger and a thief, and well known about Rateliff•highway. Mr. Yardley said that such a fellow ought not to have been allowed in the public.house. Lane—We always took hitn to be a sailor. Mr. Yardley—Nonsense. All sorts of characters con gregate in the Cock and Neptune. lam surprised the two soldiers, who appear to be respectable men, have rendered important services to their country, and belong to an honourable corps', should have gone into the Cock and Neptune. They ought to have more respect for themselves. There will he no difficulty, I hope, in tracing the medal. Barker—Tiiero i 3 my name on it and the regimental number, 3,065. It has four clasps for Alma, Inkerman, Balaklava, and Sebastopol. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner for a week. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—Mr. Love, chair man of the late investigation committee, is a candidate for the office of director, vacated by Mr. Waddington. CONFLAGRATIONS CAUSED BY FIREWORKS.—Some very serious accidents occurred at Gravesend on Mon day, in consequence of the abuse of fireworks, which is. usually indulged in on the election of the mayor for the. year. Several houses were ignited, and one was almost. entirely destroyed. Several persons, male and female,. were very much injured by rockets, which were thrown , . abiut in the most reckless and wanton manner. THE LATE STABBING CASE.— We regret to say that Simon Hansen, the Norwegian sailor, who was stabbed during a fracas in the B u t e - roa d, ardiff, on Friday evening, expired last night in the house of Mr. Hugo, surgeon. The two men charged with the offence—Pa trick Keating and Jeremiah McMulloch—will be brought , before the magistrates again to-morrow, when, we un • derstand, some very conclusive evidence will be adduced 1. against the former. TITHE REDEMPTION TRUST.—The Board of the Tithe Redemption Trust held their quarterly meeting yest*r• day at the society's rooms, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi . Lord John Manners, M.P., was in the chair. Tbrac cases of voluntary restoration of tithes to their respec .- tive parishes were announced, and the board made a grant to a case in the diocese of Gloucester and Brista 1, and to one in the diocese of Chichester. The want c f funds prevented them from extending their assistance td several other equally pressing and important appliciztiow I whioh came before them. BUENOS AYRES BONDHOLDERS.

ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. THETFORD, Nov. 12. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Press, coroner for Norfolk, held an inquest at the Harling-road station, on the , Eastern Counties Railway, An the body of Wm. Sibley, an engine -driver, who met his death on Sunday evening under very extraordinary circumstances. The deceased was driver of No. 92 passenger-cngine, and left Norwich with his fireman on Sunday morning for the purpose of working the up Parliamentary train to Cambridge. The journey was accomplished in perfect safety, and in the evening the deceased left Cambridge again with the same engine, for the purpose of working the down Parliamen tary train to Norwich. Everything proceeded well as far as Thetford, and the train left that station at the time stated on the time-tables-6 46 p.m. When the Bridgham cutting, about four miles from Thetford, was reached, an unusual knocking noise wag beard, and the deceased shut off the steam, applied the break, and told his " mate," whose name is Cullington, to go round the engine, and see what was the matter. Cullington obeyed the order, but was almost immediately thrown off to the ground with sues violence that he was rendered senseloso for a few minutes. A terrible scene followed. The tire of the left leading wheel of the engine had been broken, and the immense machine, which was being propelled at the rate of 25 or 30 miles an hour, left the rails, and ran along the bank of the cutting for some yards, when it fell over, carrying the tender with it, and throwing it partly across the up line. The carriages attached in the meantime continued their course, and, the eaine being suddenly brought to a standstill, a frightful crash took place, two of four horseboxes, which were providentially placed next the tender, being smashed to atoms. The shock being thus happily brok en , th e p a ssengers escaped without injury. The disaster, however, did not end here. Agoods train which was proceeding on the up line came up almost immediately afterwards and struck the tender of the fallen engine, R hich was lying, as has been already stated, partly across the rails. The engine of the goods train and the first two trucks passed the tender safely, but a ,aop was also a r t probably sa thoseti y rh drtuao truck which e en n h ohpanlaaedtachrevel preceded erne capsizedlt. ld h s e e a p ni o td - . s s i fi t g i o h n t alterationo f the obbattrr f r i va a uct e cek i td p si ogwfni the tosfireman completelya alter r blocked. and A cb oo t nTt i o hsh t b c h el j e io e c nfiu r a ers m s o ent f e eb t ase g h sce e , e ta p wi on fae s e C hi ul s lin n g fo to rt n u , na o t n e r , e , g m a a in te in ; F, and after some littl e ti me h e f oun d him jammed in the debris between the fallen engine and tender and quite dead. So inextricable was the confusion that it was im possible to get the corpse out, and, notwithstanding the most strenuous exertions, it was not recovered for seve ral hours. Medical assistance was procured as soon as possible from Thetford, but it would. have been quite useless from the first, as the death of :the victim of the catastrophe must have been almost ins.tantaneous. As was to be expected, the corpse, when. recovered, was in a horribly mutilated condition. The passengers in the Parliamentary train were con veyed back to Thetford as soon as possible, and were there accommodated for the night. lir. Stevenson, superintendent at Norwich, and Mr. Naylor, district locomotive superintendent between l`totwieh aeld Cam: bridge, arrived at the scene of the disaster the same evening, and a large body of workmen were soon busily engaged in removing the wreck. By great ex ertions one line was sufficiently cleared to enable the traffic to be resumed next morning, and all the trains were worked under Mr. Stevenson's personal direc tions between Harling-road and Thetford with a pilot engine. In the course of Monday the other line of rails was cleared, and the usual arrangements were resumed. _ The breaking of the tire, the cause of all the mischief, seems to have been wholly accidental. The iron of which it was made was of the best possible quality, and no flaw could be with certainty detected in it on its being examined after the accident. The wheel to which it was attached was supplied to No. 91 engine in Jan. of the present year, and was afterwards shifted to No. 92, which has been in constant work for the last four months, and was considered to be in very good repair. All the wheels of the engine were examined by the de ceased before the journey from Cambridge was com menced, and nt. defect was perceived in any of them. The deceased, who was a very steady driver, had been for some time in the service of the company, and appears to have been much respected by his companions. He was marrie f nine months since, and his wife is now near her c mfiuement. The jury at the inquest, after hearing the evidence of several persons, returned a verdict to the effect that he me'• his death accidentally. The spot where the,accident occurred was some time since the scene of another serious casualty, and the dis trict of the line has been especially unfortunate. The line is slightly curved at the place, and in January, 1E54, during the prevalence of the very severe snow-storms which then occurred, witnessed a terrible collision, which resulted in the death Of six persons. Within two or three miles of the Thetford station another collision also took place in December, 1855, when two passengers in the night mail train were killed ; and in December, 1846, a train also ran off the rails and the driver and fireman lost their lives. The locality has consequently acquired among those who treasure up these coinci dences, as they term Clem, a very indifferent reputation. Do. Sh LonlGreou . , , Do.Preforoac,o Lon., 111., Do. Bark.

GROSS CONDUCT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.--On Mon day Mr. John Langdon, a person of independent means and residing on his own property at Upton, was brought before Messrs. F. and W. Hole, the magistrates sitting at Tiverton, charged under the sth section of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company's by-laws with having in terfered with the comfort of other passengers in a rail way carriage on the Tiverton branch of the Bristol and Exeter line ; and also with a common assault on the person of Miss Jano Baker. Mr. F. Rodham, of Wellington, appeared on behalf of the defendant. It appeared that on the 3d instant the codip!ainant, who is a respectable young woman, was travelling in the same carriage with the defendant, when he insulted her in a most scandalous manner. She warned him that if he did not desist she would give him into custody at Tiverton, on -which the defendant, in reply, made use of language of the most disgust ino. character. His conduct had s uc h an e ff ect on the complainant that elle reached her home in tears, and on her father being informed of what bad occurred he at once communicated it to the railway authorities. The taen out against the matter was then placed in the hands of .Mr. Blackmore, the police, and the re sult de fendant both for misconduct and also for a common assault. Mr. Blackmore also succeeded in discovering superintendent was that a summons of the was company's a person named Georg e Prideaux, who had witnessed the misconduct of the defendant, and had also beard the language of which he had made use. The magistrates, after hearing the case, said they considered it to be the most gross and disgraceful case that had ever come under their notice, and that the defendant's position in life was an aggravation of the 'disgustin g conduct of which he had been guilty. They should fine him 40s. and costs, the highest penalty allowed for the charge under the company's bylaws, and 3/. and oosts for the assault. THE JAMES BAINES. The following letter ha, been addressed to the editor of the Timm : Sir,—We observe in your city article of today the following remarks relative to the above ship : " No new policies have yet been written at Lloyd's on the James Baines in consequence of her detention, but if it were sought to do so high rates would be demanded. It is hoped that the present uneasiness will operate as P. caution to the Melbourne shippers for the future against sending such a total as 700,0001. in a sailing ship, and especially in one not remarkable for sailing qualities." New, we are satisfied these remarks merely arise from your not having been acquainted with the previous performances of this ship, and we are sure that you will do the commander and owners the justice to give publicity to the following facts, which we think will speak for themselves. The James Barnes was built at Boston, United States, and arrived here the 25th September, 1854, and is now due off her third voyage to Melbourne and back since the 911 December of that year. Her first passage was made from Boston to Liverpool in 121 days ; next, Liverpool to Melbourne, 63i days ; Melbourne to Liverpool, same voyage, 69 days ; sailing time out and home, 1321 days. None of these passages have ever been equalled by any ship in the world. The James Baines's longest passage to Melbourne was accomplished in 79 days (arriving the day after the mail ship that sailed a fortnight before her), although with loss of mainyard and almost an entire suit of sails. With respect to her present long passage home, you are probably not aware that the last two London ships that arrived from Australia were respectively 141 and 100 days, one of them being the celebrated Aberdeen clipper Star of Peace, and that the Aberdeen clipper Phoenician, which sailed 13 days before the James Baines, has not yet arrived. It may also tend to dissipate any alarm about the de tention of the James Baines that Captain Green, of the steamer Bahiana, just arrived from the Cape, reports that duri❑g his passage from the line he had a succession of east winds and calms, and that the set of the ocean showed that these had prevailed for a considerable time previously.—We are, yours respectfully, Liverpool, Nov. 12.
