The sales were estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000 boles, 1,000 of which were taken by exporters. The Railway Share Market exhilfitcd an active ap pbarance, 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 welt maintained. This is a proof that the result of the haivest is not so good as it was calculated upon. It is the custom in agricultural Ais 4 zicts 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 -Prance : For the month of October, 1855 32f. 69c. Do. do. 1556 291. 55c. Showing a decline of 3f. 14c The shareholders in the Scinde Railway Com- Pally held a meeting yesterday, for the purpose of receiving the Directors' report, which detailed the various operations which have been effected in 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 mat isfactorily as was expected, considering the con tin ued stringency of the Money Market. It ap pea rs that most parties made extensive prepara= tior Fi 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 titr of paper was returned. The discount market kal'ing now been relieved of this heavy amount of li ft l ujlity there is some expectation that during the new two or three weeks less difficulty will be f ound in procuring the negotiation of commercial paper. The specie arrivals, and the quantity of g o ld , 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 o f England returns will show a gradual improve. 331 ent in the general position'of that establishment. The rates of Exchange for three months' bills on most of the principal continental cities yesterday afternoon wore generally, rather heavy. Al 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 66 60, for money and 66 85 for account. There is a good deal of activity in the English S tuizk Market, owing to the preparations for the Inettbly settlement to-morrow. Prices are firmer, and the tendency in prices is upwards. Fresh speculative operations are limited, but the public lave been buying rather largely. Consolafor money lave been 921 to 93k, and since 93k. At present they are about 93,i and 93i / for December. The New Threes have been 92i I, and the Reduced 92 to 92g. Bank Stock is 2121 to 214. Exchequer 'ills hatre - fttrther declined, being 2s. disdbunt 'to sir. In Foreign Stocks the dealings are more nume rous. Turkish 6 per Cents, have been flat at 911 and the per Cents, are marked 100:x. Spa - :nish are flat, the Threes beiroi the New Da• ferred 23 y, and the Certificates 51. Grenada • :New Active are 231-, Russian 4 per Cents. 96, and French Threes 67, with the exchange at 25 20.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Sir R;charcl Kindersley.) IN THE MATTER OF THE \DING•UP ACTS 1848.9, AND THE ROYAL T 3 ITISII BANK. Mr. Harding, the official manager, appointed by his Honour for winding-up of the affairs of the bank, this morning resumed his arguments in opposing the motion of Mr. Raft, to set aside the injunction, and also to sct aside the order far 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 up— an 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 only 70 out of the 1,000 embarrassed joint-stock companies had taken advantage of proceed. fags in bankruptcy showed that the object of the passing of the Winding-Up Act was to enable them to bring their affairs to the Court of Chancery far 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 ti' Courts. Mr. Lewis followed on the same side, and coetended that the course proposed by the other aide, that the two proceedings might go ou concurrently against the bank, would leasl to absurd consequence; 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 had 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 held 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 cess had begun in the Court of Chancery, it should be stayed until its objects had been tally accsmplished, namely, the assets of the company distribatod amongst the shareholders, and. the equities between the share holders duly adjusted ; the Legislature clearly needed that there should be an alternative process—either in chancery or in bankruptcy—and not a double process . • embarrassed joint stock companies. His Honour said prima facie it would seem that under the Bankruptcy Act none but a creditor would have aright 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 poucds beyond his fair proportion of liabilities, he would be excluded e accordingito the contention of the learned counsel for the official assignee, from all opportunity such as was given by the Court of Chencery of compelling his fellow shareholders to reimburse 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 had all the power of an official manager, except as the master might otherwise direct. The learned counsel had not concluded his argument wheil our repit left. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH'. (Sittings in Bum, before Lord CAMPBELL, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, Mr. Justice WRIGIITMAIC, and Mr. Jus tine ERLE.) WOODLAND V. FERN. This was an action tried at the last assizes for Bristol, and had reference to the cashing of checks, the amount in question being 3fl. 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 for 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, who had since ,left the country, had a balance , of 201. odd to' his credit. The check was not presented by the Bridgewater Bank till the 13th, when it was returned dishonoured, "not sufficient assets." d Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. :Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justices Creswell, Crow• der, and Willes.) BWINBURNE T. 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 Alorney General, who appeared for the plain tiff, Captain S winburne, the heir at law, and Sir F. Thesiger, wlr, appeared for Mrs. Swinliurne, the defend ant, vvho was in possession, that she should give up tne estates to Captain Swinburne on his granting her an annuity of 1,100/. 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 attmlimcnt. The attorney for the plaintiff had prepared tha necessary documents for car rying out the arrangements, but; the defendant refused to execute them. The plaintiff after that called on the defendant to endeavour to persuade her to execute the deeds, but she peremptorily r:fused to do so. kihe set at defiance the orders of theCinrt, 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. therefore object to the jury giving hint 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 costs, but Mr. Baron Martin slid he should not do so, as it was no fault of the plaintiff that he was lef; behind. The Great Northern Company should not publish such advertise• ments of trains unless their arrangements were com plete. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. — (Thi'i Day.) BOW-STREET. 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 was still unable to leave the hospital. The prisoner was therefore again remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Diary Young, a well-dressed woman of the town, and Christopher Collins, a medical student, wero charged before Mr. BoadGn with being drunk and disorderly. Police-constable 35 C stated'that this 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 people, 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 10s. each. Madame Colbert and Bliza. Deville, two notorious French prostitutes, were charged with being drunk and annoying gentlemen at three o'clock this morning in Regen t-street. 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 prcceediugs, and fined Colbert 20g. and Deville 10s., both of which ruins were at once paid. SOUTHWARK. ASSAULTING Tim PoLlCM—Danicl Macaraty, a tall, powerful looking IriAman, was brought btforo Mr. Burnham, 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 bad not another constable came to his assistance. The prisoner's sister attempted to rescue him, and called out for a poker. Police constable in M. said he was attracted to the spot by hearing the cries of police, and when he art ived 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 female 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 illused by the police, who struck him about the head and arms with their truncheons. The constables denied using their truncheons. The bruises on the prisoner's head and arms were caused by his plunging about. Mr. Burnham told him that the police must be pro tected from the brutal violence of such men while in the execution of their duty. He hal violently assaulted one of them, for :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 fied 403. or ono month's imprisonment. THAMES. A MISCHIEVOUS YOUNG TmEr.—Francis Slatcr, aged 15, was , brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a braes bearing, value 25., the property of Me3srs. Wegtwood 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 had been missed daily from the factory. Yes terday when the prisoner left the premises he was fol• lowed, and several pieces of brass were found upon him ; ho was ther fere brought back. They formed part of the brass bearings of a machine, which the boy had spoiled by his wanton depredation. Othrr pieces of brass were found in the street over which the prisoner bad passed. They formed portions of the brass bearings. Mr. Delaney, a clerk is the establishment of the pro secutors, said the bo3's father was employed by them, and his earnings amounted to 6J. 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. Tao prisoner, a sullen fellow, made no defence, and Mr. Selfe i after observing that he was a very dange- rous thief, who ought not to bo trusted where there Wa s any valuable property deposited, sentenced him to two months'' imprisonment and hard labour. ROBBING A CAPTAIN OF 401.—Ellen Richnionl, 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 BlyaL The robbery was committed in the Kettle and Drum puhlio house, Ratcliff-highway, on the night of Tuesday the 2.al ult. Three prostitutes, of whom the prisoner was one, were drinking with the captain and pulling him about, and managed to take his purse containing his gold. The landlady of the Wellington, Cannon-street, Ratcliff-highway, ss.w the prisoner and another woman enter her house on the night of the robbery. The pri soner had a purse containing 40 sovereigns, which she shared with her companion. Mr. Selfe again remanded the prisoner for a week. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

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 slow inquiry for all kinds, 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. Banns, peas, and flour were steady, but not dearer. ARRIVALS THIS WRNS.. Wheat. t Barley. 514 560 .... lt• I Oats. I nonr. English .. 623 i 410 610 I Irish .. , • — — brls.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) HAMLIN V. 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 pal t of the defendants. It appeared from the evidence that on the 25th of October, 1355, 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 he 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 he thought to pursue his journey without extra charge, but the company refused him, and he had to pay is. 4d. more. On arriving at Drifliold he found his arrange ment thrown out, and he lost a whole 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 you 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 wag stopped by the learned Baron, who ruled he had no right to address the jury on that subject. _ _ Mr. Mellor, for the defendant, then proceeded to ad- dress the jury, but he was stopped by Mr. Baron Martin, who ruled that in cases like the pre- sent railway companies were not liable for anything be- yond ordinary consequences. When the plaintiff found himself left at Grimsby he should have complained to the railway company, and have informed them that he would suffer great loss if he did not proceed ; or he should have engaged a conveyance and have charged the company with it, in which case they wou'd have been liable for the expenses. The company undertook to convey him to Hull, and bad 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 6LI for his bed, and is for his brandy and water, Mr. Mellor said that perhaps the plaintiff might not have taken the g in and water at Hull, and he should no' aleir"U 4,k*rl`'Af 14;4 P:ql r 51145'10Vii3011 SUN OPTICE, Six o'Clock.

They were met at the Lyndon-road Station by Sir Benjamin Heywood, Bart., at whose residence, at Claremont, the noble visitors wi;l sojourn till Friday. Mr. Oliver Heywood, president cf 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. Ott 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 lie, 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 rnerston will first visit the Peel Park, with its free li brary and museum, in Sailor 1, when the address of the Salford corporation will be presented ; and from thence he will go to the Manchester Town-hall, where the ad dresses of the Manchester corporation and of the Cham ber of Commerce aed the Commercial Association will be presented. As tbere are 64 members of the corpora tien, 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 evening of Thurs day his lordship addresses the rnetebers 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 of accommodation. MAILS FOR AUSTRALIA AND TEE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The clipper ship Tudor, Capt.

The following address to the Lerd Mayor was in course of circulation in the City yesterday. It has already re ceived the signature of the principal bankers and mer chants, inc!uding the gcivernor, deputy-govtrnor, 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 i•i;,;ning the address will be afforded to the citizens generally before the end of the week, when it will probably be presented. " To the Right Hon. David Salonaons, Lord Mayor of London. " We, the undersigned bankers, merchants, and citi zens of London, desire, on the expiration of your year of office as Lora Mayor, to convey to your lordship our high apweciation of your conduct durirg 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 fellow-citizens the restoration of peace to Europe. You have had the honour of welcoming to the City of London his M:.j.!stv the King of Sardinia, one of the sovereigns allied with Eogland, who was sumptuously received in the Guildhall. A featfal inundation having occasioned great suffering amongst our neighbours in France, our thanks are peculiarly due to you for affording us an opportunity of showing how deeply the British people feel for the happints:s and prosperity of their 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 in office has commanded general approbation, and that you leave the civic chair enjoying the high respect and esteem of all your fellow-citizens." MR. BRATBST JONES'S POLITICAL SOIREES. Last night Mr. Ernest Jones held tho second of his political soirees at St. Martin's Hail. There was a numerous attendance. The platform was ornamented with several silk banners, containing inscriptions which asserted th e r i g h t of workirig man to participate to the full extent in the products of his own labour. Mr. JONES, on prorenting himself, was loudly cheered. He said that, in pursuance of his pr : Omise, 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 .hed been taken for the next four months. These efforta 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 on 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 described 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, ho said, represented two elements alone, land 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 pity° that all the legislative enactments of the Parliament were founded on the principle of the monopoly of the laud 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, wo have been bereft of that defence. Its glorious guard has been stripped frern you, leaving you naked, shivering to the blasts of *ant. Join with me fur 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, NOT. 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 placel yesterday and to-day by meat 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 aro any stocks, but, generally speaking, manufactureis 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's, 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 and 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, though 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-halls 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 chat it was difficult for buyers properly to see colours. The woollen market at /luddersfield has also to day been of a quiet character, which is attributable partly to its being between seasons and partly to purchasers waiting fbr 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. THE GERMAN CURRENCY CON FERENCE. 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 in Prussia, and into 52i florins in the 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 sill 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 of 14 or 15 Austrian florins. The gold coia will be called " crown " and 50 crowns will be coined out of one pound of gold.

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 cloak for the beadle of the Tower (his lordship's) ward is of green cloth, adorned with gold lace.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 6 per mille p rem i um , an d th e short exchange on Loudon is 25'24 per 1/. sterling. On comparing - th ese, rates with the Englieh Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 0:* ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2.lotbs per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon don. By advices 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 bctween two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre sent rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. NIB PARIS CONFERENCE; Sonie of the Naples correspondents of the Franch 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 information has to-day (Oct. 31) been acquired, that there is no truth in the statement. When first it was the question of the Paris Conferences, the Emperor Francis Joseph was greatly averse to the idea, and there is good reason for believing that he is still more averse to their renewal. 50 ;t.
