MONEY DI RKET 1 NI , 00115112;13,CIAL CITY, Two The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were barely maintained. The sales were 6,000, 1,000 of which were Americans, on speculation. The Railway Share Market closed with a buoyant aspect compared with Thursday's rates. The advices from New York, per steamer Persia, state that the banks continued to contract their loan and discount engagements, and the money market at the latest date was more stringent, with an upward tendency in the rates of discount. The Bank of England Return for the week end ing the Ist instant is generally considered unfa vourable, and the protracted sitting of the direc tors on Thursday, which was followed by another yesterday, has naturally increased the uneasiness felt with regard to the progress of the money market. In the other Securities there is an aug mentation of about half a million sterling, and the "Reserve" exhibits a further declension. These changes, however, are partly accounted for by the preparations for the "fourth" of the month, and as since that date the pressure has slightly relaxed they are not productive of such gloomy anticipa tions as otherwise might have been the case. The bullion, too, is reduced, though slightly, and a further amount, viz., 60,0001., having been with drawn yesterday, there is a fear that, unless the James Baines soon arrives, a further diminution will take place. The sure standing to the credit of the Government is favourably increasing, and this is the only satisfactory feature in the return. The - alteration will be seen by the subjoined table : Active 'Circulation Increase 13talion .................................... 9,596,327 Decreas4.: Rest ... .. .......... Increase %Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and othe . r Bills 946,943 Increase Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Increase Notes u nemp l oyed Decrease Although there is rather less demand for dis. counts, no change has occurred in the genera] aspect of the discount market to warrant the im pression that any decided improvement is near at band. On the contrary, the advices from the pro "jaces, and the variety of rumours afloat affecting the credit of important firma and companies, al though supposed to be utterly unfounded, tens to show that increased apprehension exists of the pressure becoming still more severe and disastrous. These rumours are extremely annoying, because, although improbable, they obtain extensive circu lation. The public have been previously cautioned 'Under this head to pay no attention to such state- Meats, which for the most part emanate from mischievous and interested parties. The official return of the exports of bullion from the port of London for the week ending Thursday hat is as follows : Gold Coin Hamburg ... 500 Ozq. Milver Coin Petersburg ... 16,000 Ozs. Silver Dollars Cape, Ceylon, Calcutta, kn. 4,000 Ozs. There wasa meeting yesterday at Birmingham of the creditors of Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., the contractors, who recently suspended pay- Meta. The uncovered liabilities were stated at 11 4,0001., and the assets, it is supposed, will amount to 121,7001. The Funds are dull, but tolerably firm. There is scarcely any business in progress, the time ope rators being intimidated by the uncertain aspect of the money market. Consols have been 921 for Satter, and 934 for account ; they have since been e, owing to the unfounded statement that the Bank Directors were holding another extraordi nary sitting to-day. The quotations are now ab 921 for the former, and 921 93 for the latter. Ex chequer Bills are 2s. discount to 2s premium, and the Bonds 98f I. The New Threes have been 9.11 921, and the Reduced 91; i;t. Foreign Stocks are extremely dull, but in some instances firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen to 90/ g but they are now flatter ; the 4 per Cents, are 1004 Venezuela have been marked 3 41, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 95k. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 64 71 ; Mexi can, 21i 22} ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 76 8 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 5G ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 4 3 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 95 7 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 41 42i ; ditto Deferred, 231 24; ditto Certificates, 51 :1; ditto Passive, 6 Very little business has been done in Railway Shares this morning, and, with one or two excep tions, au advance of about per cent. may be noted I n pr i ces. Caledonian, Great-Western, Lan eashire and Yorkshire, South-Western, North- Vdaetern Berwick, and ditto York, were about ss. to 10s. higher. North-Western and Midland slightly receded. The Foreign and Colonial Lines are at steady rates. Joint -Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have experienced no material alteration, business gene rally being very moderate. earriss FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONF O'CLOCK.

Hunterr LORDS JUSTICES COURT. EX PARTE WRYGHT -IN RE MARK BOYD-IN BANKRUPTCY Mr. Bacon, this morning, proceeded with his argu ment in favour of Mr. M. Boyd. This was a petition of Mr. Wryght, the official manager of the Royal Bank of Australia under the Winding-up Act, praying for a re• versal of tie deci.ion of Mr. Commissioner Fane, who, on the 26th July last, allowed the bankrupt a certificate of the first class. The case had not concluded when our report left. VICE - CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Kindersiey.) IN THE MATTER OF THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. Mr. Rolt made an cx parte application to his Honour to restrain the official manager, Mr. Hariing, from proceeding in the winding up of the affairs of the Royal British Bank Until his Honour bad delivered judgment upon the case argued at the beginning of the week on behalf of the official assignee and Bankruptcy messen ger. The circumstances upon which the present appli cation was grounded were, that certain advertisements had appeared in the public papers, announcing that the premises lately occupied by the bank would be disposed of by tender, and also that the official manager had issued various writs against the debtors of the bank. All these proceedings bad taken place without authu rity. If Mr. Harding were not restrained from selling the property in epiestion the creditors and debtors would be involved in contests with the official and 'creditor assignees, as since the arguments in the case had begun there had been a meeting, and the creditors had chosen a gentleman to act as assignee with the official as signee in Bankruptcy. Of course this was an ex parte application, but a letter had been transmitted to the solicitors of Mr. Harding, giving him notice that the present application would be made. His Honour seeing Mr. Glasse and Mr. Lewis, who wero counsel for the official manager in the Chancery proceedings in court, asked whether they had been in structed to oppose the present motion. Mr. Glasse said he had not, but he hoped that the present application would not be granted, or it would occasion great difficulty in winding up the affairs of the bank in Chancery, inasmuch as it was made by persons who were not contributors, an.l who had no right to interfere with the proceedings in Chancery. The present application was made by parties who were pro ceeding with great haste in the Court of Bankruptcy against the bank. There was not a day on which the public papers did not teem with advertisements and reports of long speeches about what the decision of this Court was to be, and yet, while those parties refused to stop their own proceedings, they came to this court to stop that which had been approved of by his Honour's chief clerk. The stopping the proceedings of the offi cial manager would be of real advantage to the parties who made the present application, and he (Mr. Glasse) hoped his Honour would not put a stop to them. His Honour said he did not look at it in that light. Mr. Glasse—No, you won't. Mr. Giffard— No, nor anything else of common sense, :Laughter.) His Honour said, if there was no question to be deter mined between the official manager and the official as• idgnee—if he was informed that in any case of winding up the official manager was proceeding to enter into contract for the sale of property, the title to which was disputed, he should, without injunction, restrain him from doing so, until the question was definitely settled. The winding-up was under his control in cham• hers, and it was therefore his duty, such being the case, to restrain the sale of the property. In the first case there was a question between the official manager and the official assignee, as to the title to the property of the bank, and the course he should suggest under the circumstances was, that the present application should therefore stand over until Tuesday, or the following day, and that in the interim the official manager, Mr. Harding, should abstain from entering into any contracts for the disposal of• the property of the bank. As far as the issuing of the writs was con- cernod, it was exceedingly desirable that no unnecessary expense should be incurred. It was ultimately arranged between the counsel that the matter should stand over until Wednesday next, and that the official manager was to-be restrained until after hat day of disposing of any of the property in quell• COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ',Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Justices Cole ridge, Wigbtman, and Erle.) PYBITS V. GIBBS AND OTHERS.-JUDGMENT. The Court delivered judgment in this case. The plaintiff was high bailiff of a County Court, and the de fendant Gibbs was his under-bailiff. The defendant with two others entered into a bond for the due performance of his duties at the time of his accepting his appoint ment, when the debts recovered were under 201. Sub sequently to that various alterations had taken place in the law, which had greatly increased the jurisdiction o the Court, and materially, of course, altered and in creased the duties of the bailiff. Under the extended jurisdiction of the Court, the defeirdant wrongfully levied an execution ; and it was contended that the plaintiff was indemnified from all action"' for the wrongdoing of his deputy by the terms of the bond. On the part of the defendant it was contended that the bond was of no effect, the duties of the office having been materially altered by the acts extending the jurisdiction of the County Courts. The Court agreed with that view of the case, and gave judgment for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROTjGE-STREET. ROBBING A CRIMEAN OFFICER.—Thomas Clifton, a member of the swell-mob, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a gold watch, the pro party of Captain Henry Uniacke, of her Majesty's 19th Regiment of Foot, Aldershot, who has recently returned from the Crimea. The prosecutor deposed that about twelve o'clock last night he was proceeding along Windmill-street, with a lady, a friend of his, when all at once he felt a tug at his watch-guard. He immediately put his band to his waistcoat pocket, and found his guard hanging down and his watch gone. He turned round and saw the prisoner and two other men close by his side. They appeared greatly confused, and the two other men ran away. He directly collared the prisoner and held him till a police man was fetched, when he gave him into custody. The chain remained suspended from his waistc3at, but the watch was gone and bad not been seen since. Police constable 319 A said he took the prisoner into custody and conveyed him to the station, where he gave his address 31, East-street, Borough. He had been to this address, and ° discovered that the prisoner was not known there. As soon as the charge had been entered, the lady who vas with the prosecutor ascertained that her gold watch was gone also, having, no doubt, been cut from the guard by the prisoner's companions. The constable added that the prisoner was known as belong ing to the swell mnb, and he, therefore, wished ,to have him remanded in order that be might make further inquiries about him. The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was re manded till Friday next. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) COVENT GARDEN.

Amaterro TELEGRAPH. —" In the Board of Aldermen last evening," says the New York Herald of the 21st ult., "a communication was received from the Mayor calling attention to the labours of Commander Berry man and his brother officers of the United States steamer Arctic, in sounding the Atlantic Ocean from St. John's to the west coast of Ireland, with the view of testing the feasibility of establishing telegraphic communication between the old and new worlds. The exploration having positively determined the practicability - of laying a telegraphic cable between the two continents, the Mayor recommended that suitable public notice be taken of the event. Accord in g l y a resolution tendering the freedom of the city to the officers and crew of the Arctic, and placing the governor's room at t heir dis p osal f or the reception o their friends, was adopted. keevinteisnueve.l SIGHT AND HEARING SPECTACLES, POWERF [IL TELESCOPES, OPERA, RACE, AND PERSPECTIVE GLASSES,.—MesSVS.

The "Hertfordshire Incumbent" has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Times : The following remarks may perhaps be worth the consideration of those of your readers whose atten tion has been attracted by the question of railroads in Russia, and may serve to mitigate the appre hensions of some who view in these a means for the rapid recovery of that predominating influence which our late enemy has lost. They may like wise operate as a caution to the large class upon whose shoulders great capitalists generally contrive to shift the burden of unsuccessful undertakings before their character is fully known, and thus prevent widely-spread misery and consequent dis content both among ourselves and our neighbours. The length of rail proposed for construction is 2,500 miles—whether single or double lines does not as yet appear. I will assume it to be single, as the case most favourable to the promoters of the under taking, on which supposition the length will still exceed the aggregate of the lines constructed in Prussia during the 15 years ending with 1849 by about 300 miles. In these the quantity of iron em ployed has been estimated at 3,800 poods for each verst of single rail, which, adding 20 per cent. for the rolling stock, would give a total amount ing, in round numbers, to 100 tons of iron for every English mile. Now, the whole make of iron in Russia is set down by M. Tengoborstri as no more titan 15,000,000 poods--less tt ian 25,000 consumepy more than a ten year s in tons per annum. Assuming, theref ore , th at the con struction,proposed th railroadseir material ar w are to occupy tithe of the whole production of the country. Now, what would be the effect of this great in crease of consumption of iron—the prime mover, as it has jugtly been called, of all industry —in th e country where, all in Europe, it is the sc a r ces t and the dearest t The consumption of Russia is only 9.71 b. per head of the population, whereas in Austria it is 12.31 b., in Prussia 36.31 b., in France 43.81 b., and in England 138.41 b I Even now, throughout a great part of the empire the farm horses are unshod and the farm carts without tire to their wheels • and in many districts the very ploughshare is of wood with a mere point of iron. Surely the immediate result of any operations which materially raised the price of iron would be to entirely cripple agriculture, and thus at once create a ferment of disconte'ut throughout the length and breadth of the land. The average price of bar iron in Moscow was in the year 1844 (since which time, says M. Tengoborski, there has been little variation) 1 rouble 6(i copecks the pood— about 171. 3s. 6d. per ton. When we came to the southern and south-western governments, through which railway communication is in a military point of view of the most importance, the price becomes much higher. In Bessaiabia it is 1 rouble 91 co pecks the pood, in Cherson 1 rouble 83 copecks, in Taurida 2 roubles 8 copecks, and in Podolia as much as 2 roubles 16 copecks, which is equivalent to about 221. 7s. p er t on . Enhance such markets as these by a new demand for the commodity, and the consequences need not be suggested. Of coarse a ready answer may be made, that the proposed railroads are to be constructed of foreign iron. This would doubtless be a solution of the difficulty ; but it is one which implies a complete change in the financial system of the empire. In Russia alone, I believe, of all the countries in Europe, sea-borne iron is absolutely prohibited, simply with the object of preserving an entire inde• pendence of this country for au article of such ne cessity. The Czar has chosen to fetter the energies of his own subjects, and dwarf every department of industry in which they could labour with effect, rather than resort to us for the talisman which would unlock the resources of his country. These new railroads—if indeed, the " concessions" be anything more than a puff-apple of discord, thrown by the Muscovite Ate to disturb the happy union of France and England—will only prove another futile attempt to combine the advantages of civili sation with a policy of barbarism. To make bricks without straw - wasnot a more difficult task than it will be to establish a system of railroad communiea- _ tion in Russia under a prohibitory tariff. . Whatever the magnates of the Parisian Bourse may choose to do, I hope the British public will open their eyes to this fact ; in which case there will be little fear of the power of our late enemy increasing until an entire change of financial policy shall have deprived him of the wish to abuse it. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. :Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Crowder, and Mr. Justice Willes. IN RE AN ATTORNEY. Mr. Day moved for a rule calling on an attorney of the court to answer certain matters contained in an affidavit, charging him with fraudulently obtaining 51. from a defendant, on the representation that judgment had been given against him and that execution would speedily follow. Rule granted. This was the only motion made in this court this morning, and the Court rose after sitting about five minutoF. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT COFFIN.-0a Saturday last, while some men, who were employed at a meadow called Wake Field, were digging gravel, they came upon a lead coffin at a depth of 5 feet from the surface. It rested upon old oak beams, which were nearly rotted from age. The coffin was so firmly imbedded in the gravel that it was with some difficulty it was extracted. The one side hed given way, and allowed the lead on that side to press down upon the remains which had been interred within. These were almost entirely decayed, though the moisture had, in a great measure, preserved the shape of the leg's and chest especially, retaining their firm, having lost ad the appearance of flesh, and looking merely • like a human figure moulded with moistened earth. Portions of the skull still remain, as also part cf the jaw, though so far decayed as to break at the least pressure. The teeth were the most perfect of the remains, ; beimn still whole, and fixed in the different port ions of the j iw, but quite blavik. The coffin was made of cast lead, and seemed to hove been at fiat a quarter of an inch thick, but had experienced considerable decay, anti was now e bin 3-16ths cef an inch. There was no sign of any inscription having existed upon the lid, though, even if there had, the decay which had taken place had removed all traces of it. During the day this relic of ages gone by was disinterred, and hundreds went to see it, as also on the succeeding day. The field referred to has only latell been used as the Wake Field ; there is, however, no historic evidence, we be lieve, to show that it had ever been used as a burial ground. Some little time ago an ancient jug was exca vated near the same spot. The coffin, which was burst on one side, was Fix feet in length, one foot broad at the 0 I head and feet, an d about 11 inches deep. The remains i inside kept a height of about four inches, and on re llmoving a little of the d eca y ed matter of the limbs por tions of bones were sti ll discernible here and there. The lid had not been soldered on, but was made to lap over all the way round.— Worcestershire Chronicle. THE EARTHQUAKE IN AUSTRALIA. The following extracts from the South, Australian Re • gister, of the 26th June last, furnishes some interesting particulars respecting the shock of the earthquake felt near Adelaide. The Register says— " We know not as yet over how wide an area the sub terranean convulsion spread, but from Gawler, Gumera• eh% Teatree Gully, and a variety of other places, we have received special information. The numerous ac counts that have reached us agree with remarkable exactness is all the particulars of the visitation. The shock took place at a quarter to twenty minutes past two on Wednesday morning. It lasted for a minute or more, advancing from north to south, being accompanied by a rumbling sound, in some localities louder than thunder. Houses were violently shaken, many people springing from their beds in consternation. Dogs barked and growled furiously in consequence of the prolonged shaking and creaking of the doors, windows, and other articles. At the time of the shock the air was calm, al thoughjust before the occurrence a strong gale prevailed. After the shock had passed the wind revived, and in some places hail fell. The sky was overcast and gloomy, a heavy and oppressive sensation being experienced by many persons." The Register givesletters from persons resident in Ade laide and the suburban districts. Mr. Hill, of the School of Art, says that he heard a " low Thumping sound," and felt "a quick jolting sensation, similar to riding in a waggon over rubble." Mr. Dalton, of the High-street, Kensington, writes that " Mrs. Dalton says it appeared ' to her as if one of the children had fallen heavily out of bed, and she heard the bottles in the shop rattle dis tinctly. My son, who sleeps in tbe shop, says the bottles rattled against each other ; and the shock was so great that the doors and windows rattled, and some parrots flew violently about their cage. It was follow e d by a strong wind and hailstorm." Mr. R. D. Hawkins, inn keeper, a minute ," r,of Old Tiers, and then iers,saysthahte"hheiasrd a bed r q u u m it b eisii;lg shock for about like thunder. He adds, "It is no fancy. The nearer, my barman, n ' canconfirmit An anonymous "Subscriber" writes from Mitcham : " A dull, rumbling sound, not unlike the noise caused by a railway train passing . over the Turrena bridge, was first heard, almost immediately followed by a trembling of the earth, which caused my house to shake, and the furniture in the room to creak loudly. At the same time a sensation was felt which reminded me of my skating days. The earth seemed to undulate in about the same degree, and in the same smooth and quiet manner, that ice does when the water below is trcubled by the weight of eager skaters above. At the time of the shock the wind was blowing very wildly, and I think I could detect a blast or so from the north. A quiet pens. trating rain soon after followed." In addition to the above letters, the Register has been favoured with the following memorandum : " Particulars from Revenue Station, Aneroid Barometer and Thermometer.

CURIOUS' CASE OF SIVINDLING. - - A curious case of swindling by a magnetiser came on a few days ago before the Tiibnnal of Correctional Police, A gentleman named Petit, who had been been living happily for some years with his wife, his own children, and a stepson of the age of 15. the son of a h former husband of Mme. Petit, suddenly found that his household was grievously neglected, that his wife and stepson visibly declined in health, and that they often behaved in a most unaccountable manner, as if they were not in their right senses.
