MO NEY MARKET AND CONI.?(IERCIAL IN.TELLIGENOP, CITY, Two c,'CLool. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed very quietly, and prices were almost nominal. The sales were estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by exporters. The Railway Share Market exhibited an active ap pearance, and prices were slightly advanced, closing steadily. The commercial advices from Galatz to the 18th October mention that the aspect of the port was more animated than it had been for a consider able time, in consequence of the number of vessels arrived from the different European ports. How ever the export of grain is not so active, and the prices are well maintained. This is a proof that the result of the harvest is not so good as it was calculated upon. It is the custom in agricultural districts there to trample out the grain with horses, and the recent heavy rains have prevented the farmers proceeding with their work, so that the supplies at the market are limited. The monthly table of the average prices of grain throughout the principal French markets has just been published by the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, for the month of October last, compared with the corresponding period in 1856, which gives the following result as the average price of wheat per hectolitre for all France : For the month of October, 185 32f. 69c. Do. do. 1856 29f. 55c, Showing a decline of 3f. 14c. The shareholders in the Scinde Railway Com• pup held a meeting yesterday, for the purpose of receiving the Directors' report, which detailed the various operations which have been effected iu connection with the undertaking. The meeting was very unanimous, and the shareholders ex pressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the pro spects of the company. The fourth of the month has passed off quite as satisfactorily as was expected, considering the con tinued stringency of the Money Market. It ap pears that most parties made extensive prepara tions during the two or three previous days, and at the last moment there was no increased pressure. The bills were generally met with promptitude, but it is alleged that more than the average quan tity of paper was returned. The discount market having now been relieved of this heavy amount of liability there is some expectation that during the next two or three weeks less difficulty will be found in procuring the negotiation of commercial paper. The specie arrivals, arid the quantity of gold daily expected by the James Baines, will, no doubt, exert a very favourable influence, as they will not only supply the export demand for some time, but will no doubt occasion an increase in the stock of bullion at the Bank of England. Under these circumstances, and owing to the fact that there has recently been a cessation of specie with drawals, it is confidently expected that future Bank of England returns will show a gradual improve ment in the general position of that establishment. Thp rates of Exchange for three months' bills on most of the principal continental cities yesterday afternoon were generally rather heavy. At the adjourned meeting, this day, of the Bri tish Colonial Bank and Loan Company, the reso lution of the former meeting for limiting the number of directors, &c., was confirmed. On the Paris Bourse yesterday quotations ruled at a slight decline, the Three per Cents. being s. 66 60 for money and 66 85 for account. There is a good deal of activity in the English Stock Market, owing to the preparations for the monthly settlement to-morrow. Prices are firmer, 2 and the tendency in prices is upwards. Fresh speculative operations are limited, but the public S have been buying rather largely. Consols for money 2 2 0 have been 4- to 93i, and si nce 93 k. At present 2 they are about 93i and 9.3 i 2 for Decemb er . Th e 5 New Th rees h ave been 92 g . and the Reduced 92 2, to 92g. B an k St oc k is 2121 to 214. Exchequer 1 Bills have further declined, being 2s. discount to ar. In Foreign Stocks the dealings are more nume rous. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been flat at 91+ and the 4 per Cents. are marked 1001. Spa nish are flat, the Threes being 41.1, the New De ferred 232-Y, and the Certificates 51. Grenada New Active are 23/, Russian 4i per Cents. 96, and French Threes 67, with the exchange at 25 20. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :--flrenada Deferred Bonds, 6 71 ; Mexi can, 21i ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 76 8 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 6 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 6 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 95 7; Spanish 3 per Cents., 411 ; ditto Deferred, 231 24; ditto Certificates, 5/ ; ditto Passive, 6 -L The Railway Share Market this morning has exhibited considerable buoyancy, and a large busi ness has been done in most of the principal lines at an advance of fully 1 J to 1 per cent. on yester day's quotations. Caledonian, Great Northern, and South Western, were ss. higher. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Great Western, North British, 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, North Eastern Berwick, and South Eastern, about 1/. But little business was transacted in the Fo reign and Colonial lines, but prices ruled steady. Great Indian Peninsula advanced about 55. In Joint Stock Bank Shares the dealings were limited at rather lower rates. London Chartered of Australia were 10s. lower ; London and County, ss. ; and Union of Australia, 10s. A rather active business has been done in Mis cellaneous Shares, especially in Australian Agri cultural, which have improved about 3/. to 41., bein g quoted 27, 28, and 28k. Peel River are and London Discount Co. 41. Canada Land Shares are 117. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (from the Officexcl List.) JAn.,l n • done. ..• Dank Stock per Cent.

NOVEMBER 5 1t.i56 LAW INTELLIGENCE.---(This Day.) VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. The learned counsel had not concluded his argumen when our report left. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCII. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, Mr. Justice WRIGIITMAII, and Mr. Jus- tice ERLE.) WOODLAND V. PERT. This was an action tried at the last assizes for Bri.tol, and had reference to the cashing of checks, the amount in question being 3,W. The check was drawn by a per son named Hillier, upon the Glastonbury (Stickey's) Bank, with whom he kept an account in favour of the defendant, who obtained cash fur it at the Bridgewater Bank, on the faith that the drawer was in full credit at the Glastonbury Bank. On the 17th (the day on which the transaction .took place) hillier, wbo had since left the country, had a balance of 201. odd to' his credit. The check was not presented by the 111 idgewater Bank till the 18th, when it was returned dishonoured, "not sufficient assets." d Rule granted. (Before Sir Richard Kindt:raley.) IN THE MATTER OF THE WINDING-lIP ACTS 1848-9, AND Mr. Harding, the official manager, appointed by his Honour for winding. u p of the affairs of the bank, this morning resumed his arguments in opposing the motion of Mr. Itolt, to set aside the injunction, and also to set aside the order for the commitment of Mr. Lee, the official assignee of the Court of Bankruptcy for contempt-, and to transfer the possession of the property of the bank from Mr. Harding to the official assignee. The learned counsel stated that those who appeared for the creditors did not attempt to set aside the order for winding op— en order which had been duly enrolled before the adjudi• cation in Bankruptcy —and therefore vested all the pro perty of the bank in Mr. Harding, the official manager. The fact that previously to the Winding•Up Act passing the Legislature ouly 70 out of the 1,000 embarrassed joint-stock companies had taken advantage of proceed ings in bankruptcy showed that the object of the passine of the Winding-Up Act was to enable them to bring their affairs to the Court of Chancery for the purpose of being wound up. Nothing but derangement and ex pense would be entailed upon all concerned by the pro ceedings going on simultaneously in the two Courts. Mr. Lewis followed on the same side, and contended that the course proposed by the other side, that the two proceedings might go ou concurrently against the bank, would lead to absurd c3nsequences, because it was well known that an adjudication in bankruptcy might be pro ceeded with against an embarrassed joint-stock company within 12 months after it bad committed an ac . ; of bank ruptcy, and therefore the contention of the other side, that the act for the winding up of its affairs would be . hold in suspense for 12 months, for the purpose of seeing whether any shareholders chose to bring the com pany under the control of the Court of Bankruptcy. Besides in the Winding-up act itself there was not the slightest provision, that when once the winding up pro. eess had begun in the Court of Chancery, it should be stayed until its objects had been fully accomplished, namely, the assets of the company distributed amongst the shareholders, and the equities between the share holders duly adjusted ; the Legislature clearly intended that there should be an alternative process—either in chancery or in bankruptcy—and not a duuble process embarrassed joint stock companies. His Honour said prima facie it would seem that under the Bankruptcy Act none but a creditor would have a right to apply to the Court of Bankruptcy to authorise the official assignee to apply for a winding up order in chancery, and therefore supposed an individual shareholder had been compelled by an action at law to pay to an individual creditor some thousands of , pounds beyond his fair proportion of liabilities, be would be excluded, according:to the contention of the learned counsel for the official assignee, from all opportunity such as was given by the Court of Chancery of comptlling his fellow shareholders to re►mburse him the amount which he had been obliged to pay in excess of his fair liabilities. The learned counsel proceeded with his argument, and said that the Winding -up Act expressly provided that as soon as the interim manager should be appointed, all property of the bank should be vested in him, and that he, under the direction of the master, should pay the debts of the company. The learned counsel, on the other side, had argued that, inas much as Mr. Harding was merely the interim, and not the official, manager at the time of the adjudication, his right of interfering with the property of the bank ceased immediately on the appointment of the official assignee, but the act expressly provided that an interim manager bad all the power of an official manager, except as the master might otherwise direct. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justices Creswell, Crow- der, and Wines.) SWINIURNE Y. SWINBURNE. This was an issue from the Court of Chancery rela tive to larded property to the amount of 30,0001., originally tried at Stafford. It was then arranged be tween the Attorney General, who appeared for the plain- tiff, Captain Swinburne, the heir at law, and Sir F. Tbesiger, who appeared for Mrs. Swinburne, the defend- ant, who was in possession, that she should give up tne estates to Captain Swinburne on his granting her an annuity of 1,1001. per annum. The arrangement so come to between the parties was made a rule of Court, but the defendant afterwards refused to comply with it. Last term an application was made for an attachment to issue, but it was refused, on the ground that notice had not been properly served. The Attorney-General to-day renewed his application for the issue of the attachment. The attorney for the plaintiff had prepared the necessary documents for car rying out the arrangements, but the defendant refused to execute them. The plaintiff after tbat called on the defendant to endeavour to persuade her to execute the deeds, but she peremptorily refused to do so. She set at defiance the orders of the Court, and at the interview with the heir-at-law and his friends, she, by way of inti midation but not to do injury, discharged a loaded pistol in their presence. The Court granted the application. EXCEIEQUER CHAMBER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) HAMLIN Y. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The plaintiff, who is a tailor, sought to recover from the defendants the sum of 501. damages for an alleged breach of contract on the pat t of the defendants. It appeared from the evidence that on the 25th of October, 1855, the defendant took a second class ticket at the King's-cross Station of the Great Northern Rail way for the train which left at two o'clock, and which was advertised in the time-bills to arrive at Hull at half past nine o'clock. Plaintiff proceeded on his journey, and on arriving at Great Grimsby be found that there was no train to convey him further, the East Lancashire Company, whose line joined there, having started their train one hour before the arrival of the London train. The plaintiff was anxious to proceed that night, but was prevented, and he went to the Yarborough hotel, at Grimsby, where he regaled himself with two glasses of gin and water, and retired to bed. In the morning be thought to pursue hisk)urney without e x t ra c h arge, but thecn e 0n 9WPanY refused hitn, arid h e h ad to pay Is. 4d. more.tarriving Dtiffield he f oun d his arrange m th r own out, and he lost a wh o l e week in looking after his customers. He calculated his expenses at two guineas a day. Baron Martin—l suppose you could have got to Hull on the same night if y..,u had a mind to do so. Plaintiff—Certainly not, unless I had swam across the Humber. (Laughter.) Application was made to the company for compensation, but they declined giving him any. Mr. Wilde, for the plaintiff, rose to address the jury on the damages, but he was stopped by the learned Baron, who ruled he had nu right to address the jury on that subject. Mr. Mellor, for the defendant, then prooeeded to ad• dress the jury, but he was stepped by Mr. Baron Martin, who ruled that in cases like the pre sent railway companies WOll3 not liable for anything be yond ordinary coasequencen. When the plaictiff fouLe. bsinself left at Grimsby' . be sbotdd bane complaned t ; the com ppuy. P.ZJ d hare informed tb.ern that bcv-ou'd P'Ser great less if be did not proceed ; er he should hare engaged a conveyance and have ch4rged the company with it, in which case they would have been liable for the expenses. The company undertook to convey him to Hull, and had nothing to do with what he had lost at Scarborough, York, and other places. He lost is. 4d., his expenses at Hull, and he was entitled to a shilling nominal damages. The company were not responsible for his expenses at the Yarborough Hotel, at Grimsby, for he would no doubt have spent the same amount at Hull, namely, is 6d for his bed, and is for bis brandy and water. Mr. Mellor said that perhaps the p'all.tiff alight not have taken the gin and water at Hull, and he should not therefore object to the jury giving him his hotel ex , penses. (Laughter.) Baron Martin said that anything under 4s would be quite enough, and the jury found a verdict accordingly. Mr. Mellor asked his lordship to certify for casts, 1 ut Mr. Baron Martin said he should not do so, as it was no fault of the plaintiff that he was left behind. The Great Northern Company should not publiah such advertise. ments of trains unless their arrangements were com plete. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) BOW:;REET. This morning, Marley, the man in custody for the murderous assault on Richard Cope, was placed at the bar, on remand, for further examination. Inspector Bradstock produced a certificate which stated that Cope war; still unable to leave the hospital. The prisoner was therefore again remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mary Young, a well-dressed woman of the town, and Christopher Collins, a medical student, were charged befjre Mr. BeadGn with being drunk and di. , orderly. Police -constable 85 C stated that thii morning, about three o'clock, he was on duty in the Haymarket, when he saw the two defendants, who were surrounded by a crowd of pecple, fighting with a black man. He sepa rated them, and they afterwards went into Coventry. street, where they commenced fighting again. Witness seeing that they were very drunk, procured the assis tance of another constable, and conveyed them to the station. The defendants, who did not deny the charge, were fined 103. eacli. Maclaine Colbert and Eliza Deville, two notorious French prostitutes, were charged with being drunk and annoying gentlemen at three o'clock this morning in Regen t•streot. The charge having been proved, Mr. Beadon observed that such women as the prisoners were becoming a most intolerable nuisance ; and as far as he was concerned he was determined to put it down. He then severely cau tioned them as to their future proceedings, and fined Colbert 20s. and Deville 10s., both of which MIMI were at once paid. SOUTH WARK. The constables denied using their truncheonf. The bruises on the prisoner's head and arms were caused by his plunging about. Mr. Burcham told him that the police must be pro tected from the brutal violence of such men while in the execution of their duty. He had violently assaulted one of them, fur which offence he should commit him to the House of Correction at Wandsworth, with hard labour. The sister was then charged with attempting to res cue him, and fined 40s. or one month's imprisonment. THAMES. A. MISCHIEVOUS YOUNG THlEF.—Francis Slatcr, aged 15, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a brass bearing, value 253., the property of Messrs. Westwood and Bailey, engineers and machinists, of Poplar. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the employ ( of the prosecutors a few days only, and during that time property bad been missed daily from the factory. Yes terday when the prisoner left the premises ho was fol lowed, and several pieces of brass were found upon him; he was ther.fere brought back. They formed part of the brass bearings of a machine, which the boy had spoiled by his wanton depredation. Other pieces of brass were found in the street over which the prisoner had passed. They formed portions of the brass bearings. Mr. Delaney, a clerk in the establishment of the pro.' secutors, said the boy's father was employed by them, and his earnings amounted to 6,i. per day. The father of the prisoner said he had set his son a good example, and he wanted for nothing at home. He could not account for the boy committing the robbery. The prisoner, a sullen fellow, made no defence, and Mr. Selfe, aftor observing that he was a very dange- rous thief, who ought not to be trusted where there wa s any valuable property deposited, sentenced him to two months' Imprisonment and hard labour. ROBBING A CAPTAIN OF 401.—Ellen Ridanowl, an Irish woman was brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a purse containing 401. in gold from the person of Captain Thomas Edmond, the master of the ship Princess Royal. The robbery was committed in the Kettle and Drum public house, Ratcliff-highway, on the night of Tuesday the 28th ult. Throe prostitutes, of whom the prisoner was one, were drinking with the captain and pulling him about, and imanaged to take his purse containing his gold. The landlady of the Wellington, Cannon-street, Ratcliff-highway, saw the prisoner and another woman enter ber house on the night of the robbery. The pri soner had a purse containing 40 sovereigns, which she shared with her companion. Mr. Safe again remanded the prisoner for a week. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—{This Day.)

REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—Ye terday there was a general reduction of one halfpenny in the price of the 4lb. loaf of bread in the districts south of the Thames, and the eastern tarts of tho metropolis, the &P.rge now being 7d. household, and Bd. for the best bread—some bakers selling at 6id. the 4th., weighed on I delivery. In the northern districts the reduction was only partial ; whilst in the central and western parts of London bakers maintained the previous rates. THE MURDER IN SHREWSBURY. —Yesterday an inqnest was held at the Salop County Infirmary, Shrewsbur . r, before Mr. H. Keate, coroner, respecting the death of Benjamin Bromley, who was stabbed by a man named Hollis, under the circumstances stated' in The STGIL a day or two ago. A surgeon who made a post mortem exa mination gave his opinion that the injuries which caused death were inflicted with a sharp-pointed knife or some similar instrument. Other evidence was given corrobo rative of the facts already mentioned, and the jury re ( turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against John Hollis, otherwise John Wildams. The priso ner was taken ' before the borough magistrates yesterday and for. orally committed for trial at ttle assizes. ASSAULTING THE POLICE. Macarthy, a tail, powerful looking Irishman, was brought before Mr. Burchatn, charged with committing an assault upon Wm. Bond, police-constable 179 M, in the execution - of his duty. The complainant stated that he was on duty in Union street shortly before one o'clock that morning, when he saw the prisoner and several others standing at the cor ner of Parson's-court. The prisoner was extremely • violent in his behaviour, and as a respectable female attempted to pass he pushed her into the road. Witness went up to him and told him to go home, and not annoy the public any more, when he suddenly rushed upon him and knocked him down. Witness seized hold of him to secure him, when he kicked him violently, and would have severely injured him had not another constable came to his assistance. The prisoner's sister attempted to rescue him, and called out for a poker. Police.constable 121 M said he was attracted to the spot by hearing the cries of police, and when he arrived there he saw last witness on the ground, and the prisoner kicking him. Witness caught hold of the prisoner, when his sister came up and attempted to pull him away. They had a severe struggle, during which the femltle called out for a poker, and had not other assistance come up the consequences might have been very serious. In answer to the charge the prisoner said he was under the influence of liquor at the time, and was shamefully iltused by the police, who struck him about the head and arms with their truncheons.

ESTER, Lord and Lady Palmerston arrived at Manchester yesterday evening, having left London at 10 o'clock ia the morning, by the day mail. They were met at the London-road station by Sir Benjamin Heywood, Bart., at whose residence, at Claremont, the noble visitors will sojourn till Friday. Mr. Oliver Heywood, president of the Mechanics' Institution, was also at the station ; and a great crowd of respectably dressed persons who had assembled greeted the visitors with hearty cheers. On Wednesday, about noon, Lord and Lady Palmer. ston are expected to visit the Exhibition of Art and In dustrial Treasures at the new Mechanics' Institution. The dinner party in the evening, at Claremont, is ex pected to include, in addition to the noble visitors, Mr. James Watts, mayor of Manchester ; Mr. Stephen Hee !is, mayor of Salford ; Mr. Thomas Bazley, President of the ChaMber of Commerce ; and Mr. James Aspinall Turner, President of the Commercial Association. The order in which the addresses will be presented on Thurs day is not yet fixed, but it is probable that Lord Pal merston will first visit the Peel Park, with its free li• brary and museum, in Salford, when the address of the Salford corporation will be presented ; and from thence be will go to the Manchester Town-hall, where the ad dresses of the Manchester corporation and of the Cham ber of Commerce and the Commercial Association will be presented. As there are 64 members of the corpora tion, 150 members of the Commercial Association, and 350 members of the Chamber of Commerce, the .admis sion to the Town-hall will be limited to these numerous bodies, including the most respectable citizens, mer chants, and manufacturers. In the evenin g o f Thurs day his lordship addr esses the members of the Mecha nics' Institution at the Free Trade Hall, and as there is ample accommodation there for seating 4,000 people, the public at large will have a better opportunity 01 accommodation.

Anderson, belonging to the Black Ba►l line of Australian packets, will sail to morrow for Melbourne, with a full compliment of pas sengers, and a very large cargo of valuable merchandise on freight. She will convey a ,mail to Melbourne, let ters and newspapers for which must be marked " per Tudor," and posted before noon, or with late fees before 12.30 p.m. to-morrow. The Liverpool and Philadelphia Company's FCIOW steam ship City of Washington, Capt. W.

She will bring advices from New York, by telegraph, to the 24th ult. The next mail from the United States will be due to-morrow, by the mail steam ship Ericsson, Captain Lowber, but is likely to be anticipated (as the Ericsson is of small horse power and rather slow) by the British and North American Royal mail steam-ship Persia, Capt. Judkins, with advices from New York to the 29th ult., which may be expected on Saturday morning. ADDRESS TO THE LORD MAYOR. The following address to the Lord Mayor was in course of circulation in the City yesterday. It has already re ceived the signature of the principal bankers and mer chants, including the governor, deputy-governor, and directors of the Bank of England, and the chairman and vice-chairman of the East India Company. It is hoped that an opportunity of signing the address will be afforded to the citizens generally before the end of the week, when t will probably be presented. " To the Right Hon. David Salomon', Lord Mayor of London. " We, the undersigned bankers, merchants, and el. zens of London, desire, on the expiration of your year o, office as Lord Mayor, to convey to your lordship our high appreciation of your conduct during a year more than ordinarily fertile in public events. You commenced your term of office at a period when England was en• gaged in a sanguinary war. The arms of the Allies have been triumphant ; and it has been your peculiar good fortune to be enabled to proclaim to your tallow-citizens the restoration of peace to Europe. You have had the honour of welcoming to the City of London his Msjestv the King of Sardinia, one of the sovereigns allied with England, who was sumptuously received in the Guildhall. A fearful inundation Laving occasioned great suffering amongst our neighbours in France, our thanks are peculiarly due to you for affording us an opportunity of showing bow deeply the British people feel for the happiness and prosperity of tbeir French neighbours. Throughout all the varying circumstances of the year you have admirably maintained the ancient reputation of our City, and the character of its magistracy. We rejoice to know that, although placed in a somewhat peculiar position, your conduct iu office has commanded general approbation, and that you leave the civic chair enjoying the high respect and esteem of all your fellow-citizens." STATE LIVERIES FOR THE LORD MAYOR ELECT. The state liveries for the Lord Mayor elect, compris ing garments for coachman, six footmen, and postilion, were yesterday exhibited at the establishment of the ma nufacturers—Messrs. H. J. and D. Nicoll, of Regent street. The livery coats are of bright green cloth, lined with white silk, deep gold lace adorns the centre of the back, and within a braided bordering of gold cord as a decoration of embroidery ; the pattern, a series of sprigs displaying the rose, shamrock, and thistle. The :eaves and stems are worked in gold, but, as a novelty, the de licate colours of the rosebud and full blown rose, as also the green bulb and pink shade of the thistle blossom, are tastefully introduced. The badge for the shoulder incloses a shield, upon which are embroidered his lordship's arms, a thistle within three stars, surmounted by a crusader's croslet sword, arranged with another sword C9b Salt (Cre, and sup ported by the motto, "Finis coronat opus." The vests and continuations are of white cassimere, with gold lace borderings. The postilion's jlcket is in a similar style, but is more ornamented with rabridery, &o. The cloak for the beadle of the Tower (►iis lordship's) ward is of green cloth, adorned with gold lace. The Lord Mayor elect having determined to revive an ancient portion of civic state has appointed .two youths as pages or train bearers, whose costumes, also manu factured by Messrs. Nicoll, consist of superfine scarlet cloth tunics, with gold lace collars and cuffs, and white trousers ; and for each suit is a silk sash of royal blue, finished with gold fringe. His lordship's state hat, and those for coachman and footmen, as also the postilion's cap, have been manufac tured at the establishment of Mr. E. Greenaway, of Bishop-gatt-street-within. His lordship's is of rich black Genoa velvet, edged with ostrich feather trim ming, while a plume of two feathers droops over the front. The cocked hats for coachmen and footmen are t,f fine heaver, with green ostrich feather trimming, sur mounting a rich border of gold lace, nearly three inches wide, and from each peak is a pendant of gold bullion. The postilion's cap is composed of black velvet, the band and peak exhibit a richly embroidered gold decoration of the rose, shamrock, and thistle, corresponding with the livery coats. MARKET NEWS.—(This Pay.) CORN EXCHANGE. Only a moderate supply of English wheat, chiefly the refuse of Monday, was on sale in to-day's market; never theless, we experienced a very slew inquiry for all ki n d s , at that day's currency. The general conditions of the sam ples was inferior. The imports of foreign wheat this week are only 4,260 quarters. Even the finest samples were dull, yet importers refused to accept lower terms. There was only a limited sale for barley, on former terms. The malt trade ruled heavy, at barely late rates. We had a slow inquiry for oats, at the late decline in value. _ _ _ Beans, peas, and flour were steady, but not dearer. AIutIVALB THIS WANK. Wheat. 620 English .. Irish .. Foreign J 1 4,2 G) Barley.

Each kind of meat moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Beef, from 3s to 4s id ; mutt-)n, 3s 4d to 4s 6(1; veal, 3s 6d to 4s 6d; pork, is 6i to 5s 4d per Sib by the PRICE OF GOLD.—TLe quotation of gold a'. Paris is about 6 per mine premium, and the short exchange on London is 25 . 271 per 1/. ster!lng,. On comparing these rates with the English Mir.t price of 31. 17s. led. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2 10tbs p er cen t. d earer i n Paris than in Lon don. :By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13'3 per 1/. sterling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is therefore nearly 7-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and diffi.renee of interest, the pre. sent rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. MR. BRIVBST JONES'S POLITICAL SOIREES. Last night Mr. Ernest Jones held the second of i his political soirees at St. Martin's Hall. There ) was a numerous attendance. The platform was ornamented with several silk banners, containing inscriptions which asserted the right of the working man to participate to the full extent in the products of his own labour. Mr. JONES, on presenting himself, was loudly cheered. He said that, in pursuance of his promise, he had the pleasure of again meeting them, for the purpose of conveying some political and social in struction to the public of this country, and he was happy to be able to inform them that the hall had been taken for the next four months. These efforts were made with the assistance of some friends to the spread of social and political truth, and espe cially of Mr. Gregory, one of the most eminent merchants of the city of London, and the author or an admirable work ou misrule in high places. (Cheers.) Some portions of the press supposed that he was pecuniarily interested in these soirees, but he was there gratuitously, and Mr. Gregory, who acted as the treasurer, would apply any profits that remained after the expenses were paid to the propa gation of political truth. (Cheers.) Politics were hitherto too much confined to the tavern and the pothouse, and it was the object of the soirees to introduce them on a more appropriate stage, and to accompany them with musical and social recrea tion. (Cheers.) The first part of the musical programme was then proceeded with. It included the " Song of the Day Labourers," and a " Song of Resurrection," two odes written by Mr. Jones, and sung by Mr. Lowry and the other vocalists. _ _ Mr. JONES then proceeded to deliver a discourse On the fabric of the British Constitution," which he desclibed to be founded in the darkness of the middle ages, and to be one of the vilest shams and greatest legislative curses ever inflicted on a people. The British constitution, he said, represented two element 3 alone, laud and money, but was mainly founded on the monopoly of the land. From this point of view he traced the history of the country from the period of the Norman conquest to the present time, and endeavoured to prove that all the legislative enactments of the Parliament were founded on the principle of the monopoly of the land and a landed aristocracy. Mr. Jones thus concluded :—As the land is the fountain of all ma terial blessings, so a landed aristocracy is the foun tain of all social curses. All others are but the side-currents flowing out from that polluted source. Leave the land untouched, and Heaven itself will never grant you happiness. The land_ it is the sacred altar, whence labour, that true worship, sends from its fields and gardens the sweet incense most acceptable on high ; the land—it is the safety of a people, the emerald shield that God has given nations, to hold between themselves and misery ; the land—it is the radiant armour that clothes the shining limbs of liberty. My country. men, we have been bereft of that defence. Its glorious guard has been stripped from you, leaving you naked, shivering to the blasts of want. Join with me for the re -conquest of the land ; it is the task of the age—the mission of the century. You talk of unchaining yourselves ; unchain the land, and your own chains will fall. The franchise is the bond that binds your hands ; but land mono poly is the dungeon that surrounds your bodies. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Jones was much applauded. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Nov. 4. The easier state of the Liverpool cotton market causes rather greater difficulty in the sale of cloth, and we have had but a quiet market. The ac counts from India, which were considered rather favourable, have not yet led to much business, and the orders placed yesterday and to-day by most shipping houses have been inconsiderable in amount. Printing cloths, shirtings, and other fabrics suited to the home demand are in rather more request, at full prices. Velvets, velveteens, cords, and satteens are in fair demand, and are get ting dearer, velvets being difficult to buy in conse quence of many of the makers being engaged for three months forward under contract. In some few cases sellers have been willing to meet the terms of buyers this morning in goods where there are any stocks, but, generally speaking, manufacturers exhibit much firmness in demand ing the prices current last week. Spinners are also firm, and, although yarns are about Id. per lb. be low the highest rates demanded a week ago, there is no disposition to give way further. There is a quiet market for all kinds of yarn, but if spinners would have given way a little there would have been more business in 16's to 24's water twist. In 40's, 50'e, and 60*s mule for India there was some inquiry, and also in yarns suited to China. Double yarns continue scarce in consequence of the rather heavy orders already iu the hands of spinners for execution, and some fair orders are in the market for Germany, but are held over in the hope of rather easier prices. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" We had a steady market throughout the week, and a fair amount of business was done at last Tuesday's prices. Yesterday sad to-day, however, owing to the change in the cotton market, there has been little or nothing done either for the home trade or for shipping; but we cannot make any change in our quotations, as, tliough there is more anxiety to sell, manufacturers generally are too free from stock to give way at all in price." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. say : " There has been a decided dull and inanimate market, with a very limited amount of business. Prices remain generally as last week, but the busi ness now doing is only when some reduction is made in the rates asked." LEEDS, Nov. 4. The markets in both the coloured and white cloth-b4lls have been very quiet this morning, and purchases have been confined mostly to mix tures and other low goods. In prices and the general tone of the woollen cloth trade no alteration can be noticed. The morning has been very foggy, so that it was difficult for buyers properly to see colours. The woollen market at Huddersfield has also to day been of a quiet character, which is attributable partly to its being between seasons and partly to purchasers waiting for the wool sales commencing on Thursday. The warehouses and cloth•halls are both dull. Drabs and mohairs find the readiest sale, but little is doing worth recording. No change in wool. THR GERMAN CURRENCY CON- 1 1 EKON CE. VIENNA, Oct. 31.—Great secrecy was observed as long as the Currency Conferences were going on, but the results of the prolonged deliberations of the representatives of the leading German States are now generally known. ' The basis of the silver currency will be the Customs-Union pound. One pound of fine silver will be coined into 45 florins in Austria, into 30 dollars i n P russ i a , an d i n t o 52f florins hi. he Federal States in southern Germany. A silver coin, which will be a legal tender in all the German States, is also to be minted, and 15 of them will contain one pound of fine silver. The coin in question will therefore be worth two dollars in Prussia, three florins in Austria, and three and a half florins in southern Germany. A gold "cus toms-union " coin will also be minted, of the value el 14 called r1. ‘ 54 c r A o wn ent,r,i,ananfldosros crowns The willgo b l dceo coinedin w i Rill be out of one pound of go ld. The protocols of to the the Currency Conferences have been forwarded German States which were not represented here, and when they have been taken into proper con sideration another and general 11e 011ference will be held. It must be added that t thegold " crown " is to be taken i p a ri t c h e e a G t German States will be fixed every six months. AUSTRIAN FINANCES. October month exhibit s a further im p rov ement.

THE PARIS CONFERENCF. - Some of the Naples correspondents of the French and north German papers, says a letter in the Times, have recently affirmed that the Austrian Government has counselled King Ferdinand 11. to submit his case to the Paris Congress, but positive informati on h as t o -d ay (Oct- 31) been acquired, that there is no truth in the s tatement. When first it was the question of the Paris Conferences, the Emperor Francis Joseph was greatly averse to the idea, and there is good reabon for believing that be is still more averse to their renewal. 20 too 10 6 25 ,IGN. 7 - 38 i 81 i 17 6 i 95 - 1 I 35 i
