MOVE MARKET d.iYD COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCR CITY, Two o'CLooc The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was very dull, and prices of American were rid. per lb. lower. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, 1,500 for export. The Railway Share Market was buoy ant, and prices of some of the leading stocks ad vanced. Further accounts to the 3d inst., from Berlin re lative to the construction of international railways between Prussia and Russia, announce the arrival of the Russian General Smolikowski to treat upon the subject. The General has been received by the Ring and the Minister of Commerce, and has had conferences daily with the director-general of pub lic works. Cotrat Adlerberg, military plenipoten tiary of Russia at Berlin, it is said, has been also concerned in this question. The first line proposed will be a branch of the Prussian Eastern Railway to the St. Petersburg and Warsaw line. During the last fe; days some very discouraging but entirely unfounded rumours have been circu lated affecting the credit of commercial firms, and otherwise tending to create mistrust. The public, however, should be cautioned to turn a deaf ear to these absurdities, which, from the apparent since rity with wl.ich they are uttered, combined with the well-known sensitiveness of the money market, are likely to excite attention. Latterly there have been expectations that the tendency i❑ the position of monetary affairs was towards improvement, and because during the last few days no intelligence of an authentic character liar transpired alarmists and others have wilfully promulgated their extreme ideas, and have not hesitated to spread pernicious statements, which, although preposterous, are, in times like the present, sure to be made the most of by the speculative community. Yesterday after noon all kinds of rumours were current, but most of them are so extremely absurd that they do not require special comment. One of these canards might have been excessively injurious to commer cial credit, but it met a flat contradiction in all quarters, and is proved to be without the slightest f oundation. The Bank directors have been two hours in de liberation, and have just adjourned. No alteration in the discount terms has been resolved upon. Amongst the numerous companies which have come into existence since the passing of the Limited Liability Act, it is a matter of im portance to the capitalist to invest in those Which have for their purpose the development o f British resources in preference to foreign un dertakings, not only as regards the question in a patriotic sense, but as it affords him greater security for his investment, and control over the Management of the company. Of these home in vestn3ents, few exhibit a more promising aspect than the National Guaranteed Manure Company, Which has for its object the supplying of manures to the agricultural community, composed of organic and inorganic substances, which they shall guarantee to contain a certain percentage of nitro gen, ammonia, and other elements of fertilisation, essential to the growth of crops. At present the richest manures are imported from foreign Colintries at a lar ge cos t, w h en i t i s well k nown that our own country abounds with animal matter of equal richness, and thus the re sources of the cou n t r y are i n t hi s matter neglected. The company declare their intention of remedying this evil, b y i ntroducing scientific appliances refine the crude manures, .eo as to be come equal to the richest that are im ported. For this purpose the company have already made arrangements with two in other manur e companies one in London and one the North of England, to secure their co-opera tion and experi ence in the matter, by purchasing their interests, A large portion of the shares are already subscribed for, and we can recommend this as an advantageous investment. The capital iS 1 00,0001. in 50,000 shares of 21. each. Deposit 10s. per share. _ The Engli s h F unds yesterday afternoon were depressed, in consequence of unfavourable reports ere has and be n the closing a large B u ll account. This morning th more firmness, and a mod business ha s been done at about the quotations erat cur e rent at the official close yesterday. The account has passed off satisfactorily, and the tone of the market has been firm. Since one o'clock the Prices have been affected bythe suspense experienced during the sitting of the Bank of England Directnrs. Consols for money have been 92a.1, and 92ft.

There were very few members present, and nothingof importance took place. The settling over the Worces ter races was the princ!pal business, which went off well. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) BERNARD V. HUNTER. This was an appeal from the decision of Vice Chan cellor Stuart. It was sought to set aside a decree, by which his Honour directed that certain deeds should be delivered up and cancelled. Those deeds had been ob tained from Mr. Lyde, by his solicitor Mr. Hunter, and they relieved him from an acknowledged debt of some amount, and they were cancelled on belief of the Court that they had been obtained by improper representations and undue influence exercised over the mind of bis client. The decree was supported by Mr. Wigram, and Mr. Schomberg ; Mr. Bacon, and Mr. Southgate appeared for Hunter in support of the appeal. The further arguments in this case occupied the Court the whole of the morning. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Sir R. T. Kiniereley.) THE PRINCE OF WALES ASSURANCE COMPANY V. TRUE LOCK. The defendant, it will be recollected, brought actions against the company for the recovery of 11,0001., the value of some policies granted by the company to him on the life of a Mr. Jodderell, deceased. The company defended the actions, as they believed that it would be possible for them to show that Truelock had conspired with another party to defraud them by making false reportations as to the health and habits of Mr. Jodderell when the application was first made to the company to effect the policies. It was re presented that Mr. Jodderell was a man of good health and temperate, habits, but the contrary was the fact. Upon the trial of the first action, which was brought for the recovery of 7,0001., Mr. Braid, who was the only person whose testimony could prove the fraud, was not forthcoming, and judgment was given against the company. The second action, for the recovery of 4,0001. upon two policies for 2,0001., came on for trial a few days ' afterwards. Mr. Braid, who, it was alleged, was kept out of the way by Truelock, was again absent, and judgment was given for the 4,0001. The company then filed this bill in Chancery for the purpose of restraining execution for the recovery of the amount. The case came on for hearing previously to the vacation, before his Honour, upon a demurrer, which wa.s alowed on the ground that it was open to the company either to have applied to the court for a postponement of the trial, in conse quence of the absence of Braid, cr to have applied for a new trial. The company then e,ppealed against the decision to the Lords Justices who took the same view of the case ; but one of them (Lord Justice Bruce) thought the com pany should be allowed to amend their bill, if that was possible. The company did so, wad since the case was heard upon demurrer they had ascertained that Mr. Truelock had admitted that lie was only entitled to half the 11,0001., and was merely a trustee for Mr. Braid with regard to the other ha:f. They also stated that during the interval the 11 ; 000/. had been paid into court by the company, and they prayed that it m:ght be dealt with as justice required. Mr. Bailey and Mr. Simpson appeared for the de murrer, and contended that the company had not shown a case strong enough for the interference of the Court. Mr. Glasse, Mr. Freeman, and Mr. Hastings opposed the demurrer. His Honour allowed the demurrer, as he was of opi nion that the amendments made in the bill had not strengthened the ground of appeal for relief to a court of equity. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. :Sittings in Banco, bafcre Lord CAMPBELL, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, Mr. Justice, WRIELITMAN, and Mr. Jus tice DILL) IN RE W. 0. PATCH. Mr. Bullar moved for the issue of a writ of habeas corpus, to the gaoler of the gaol of Jersey, to bring up the body of William 0. Patcb, a prisoner, at present con fined in that gaol for debt. It appeared that the de fendant, who is an Englishman, went .to Jersey to reside in 1843. On the 29th October, 1845, he was arrested for a debt of 191. 2s. he had contracted in the Island, and had remained in custody every since. The case was ono of extreme hardship, because the prisoner being blind it caused the imprisonment of his wife to attend on him. The pri soner was seized under two processes, one of which was directed to the constable in general terms, to arrest the debtors of the creditor, and on information he received he arrested the defendant. It was contended that the defendant was arrested without cause, and illegally, being against the fundamental laws of the island and the constitutional rights and privileges of the inhabitants and sojourners in Jersey, being British subjects, which no ordinance, custom, or usage can abridge or take away. The defendant stated in his affidavits that his and his wife's health bad suffered from the confinement. Lord Campbell—ls there no tribunal in Jersey to which application can be made Mr. Buller—There is the Royal Court. Lord Campbell said that application should have been made to the Supreme Court of Jersey, who would have had authority to adjudicate on the question. Mr. Buller contended that the warrant being general was against the constitutional law of the country, and, consequently, that the arrest was illegal. Lord Campbell said the Court could not take cogni sance of the case except by the laws of Jersey, and the question was whether this proceeding was contrary I* that law. The learned counsel had not shown it was contrary to that law, and therefore the application was refused. Rule refused accordingly. No cases of interest had come before the Court of Common Pleas, or Court of Exchequer, up to the time of our despatch leaving. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner ilolroyd.) THE ROYAL BRITISH BANE• To-day was appointed for the choice of assignees un. der this bankruptcy, and appeared to excite more intense, interest than any previous occasion, as it was doubtful_ whether the choice would take place pending the pro ceedings before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Kindersley, Messrs. Linklater and Harkwood appeared for the peti- tioning creditor, and Mr. Chidley, Mr. Reed, and other gentlemen for the creditors. _ The business commenced by taking proofs chiefly ocrl deposit account, admitted without opposition. Mr. Linklater put in proofs taken out of cour t o f 1,4001., depositors to the amount of about 150,0001. The names of the following gentlemen were handed in as proposed assignees—Mr. G. Wylde, Charing-crows, geographer ; Mr. Robert Taylor, Lambeth -terrace ; NKr. Henry Sadler Mitchell, Great Prescott-street, and Air. J. Treherne Burke, Gresham-street, and Mr. John Maxwell, Bell-square, Finsbury. Mr. Linklater said the above gentlemen had been nominated by a committee of depositors, deputed by the body of depositors ; and as he (Mr. Linklater) held the proofs of creditors to the amount of 1 50,000/., there would be no contest, and it only remained for his Honour to confirm the choice. He would take that opportunity of correcting a mistake which appeared to have existed in the mind of the public, that the injunction had the effect of restraining the proceedings in this Court. The injunc tion was only granted to the extent of preventing any interference with the interim manager, Mr. Harc'ling. He then explained that the summons against Mr. Ward ing had not been dismissed, but at the suggestion of the Court had been withdrawn. He also wished to ob:ferve that it had been stated erroneously that he had on the 15th sent to Mr. Harding desiring biro to attend, for it bad been previously arranged bet men them that the summons should be withdrawn. He merely sent to ask him whether he was desirous of being prosont. Mr. iLinklater was proceeding to make some remaAss, but was interrupted by Mr. Burton, the solicitor. under the winding up—who objected to any state? mists being made now, and which had better be reserved. %until the decision bad been given. His Honour said it would be desirable not to. do so whilst the matter was sub-juridice. Mr. Linklater then stated - that between 20 a cad 30 actions had been brought against the official mai to ger, and one bad obtained a judgment for 1,200/. ; in fact, under the proceedings of the Winding -up Act, the re was a race between the creditors, to their individual 1 ,enefit, but at a severe ices by casts. He then applied to his Honour to name a day, so that the directors mig ht have notice to attend and prepare a balance she e t. Be ap- Vied for the whole of them to be called upon t0 , 7.d0 so, al some had been directors from the commencement, ao.:1 it would be necessary to have an accountfrom the beginning of the trading in order to see the caused the bankruptcy. Mr. Reed, who represented two of the directors and some of the largest shareholders, thought . it would not be advisable to call upon them to do so at present. He also regretted that some creditors had taken proceedings against the official manager, thereby unnecessarily in curring heavy costs. The shareholders he represented were anxious to, pay the creditors, and would contribute rateably for that purpose ; he, therefore, hoped no fur ther proceedings would he taken. Mr. Linklater said the assignee; were anxious that the creditors should not take any proceedings against the official manager, which would only embarrass without benefit, for he' (Hr. Linklater) had no doubt the bank ruptcy would be upheld. His Honour declined to make any order on the direc tors at present, and said it would be more judicious and respectful to the superior Court to follow its decision. His Honour confirmed the ohoice of the above-named gentlemen as assignees. Mr. Linklater said that an application was made yes terday to the Vice-Chancellor to stay the choice this day, but he declined. POLICE LNTELLIGENCE.—(This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISTURBANCE AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— CharIes Mott TVastie, gontleruan, 47, Great Marylebone-street, Portland-place, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with creating a disturbance at her Majesty's Theatre, Hayraapket. Inspector Searle, of the A division, stated that last night about 10 o'clock he was on duty at her Majesty's Theatre, being Jullieu's opening night, when all at once a great disturbance broke out in the promenade, by several young men hooting and hallooing at the top of their voices. He went into the midst of the men, and with great difficulty succeeded in quieting them. A second disturbance then broke out in the centre of the promenade, and on making his way to the spot he saw the difendant, who appeared to be one of the ringleaders, and heard him call out, "A ring, a ring." Defendant then commenced hooting and screaming in such a violent manner that the audience were ♦ery much alarmed. Witness tried all he could to put an end to the disturbance, when the de. fendant called out " Down with him, down with him," which seemed greatly to encourage the mob to com mence again. He then laid hold of the defendant and told him he must consider himself in custody, when he pulled a long and sorrowful face, and said a person bad struck him on the back, and that was the reason he called out put him down. He (defendant) wished to put that party down, and not the inspector. Witne then called two other constables and conveyed the de fendant to the station. On the way to the latter place a rescue was attempted, but without success. The accused gave a general denial to the charge, and said the inspector had mistaken him for some other per son. He went to the theatre to hear the music, and not to kick up a row. Police-constable, 25i A, said he had been watching the defendant some time before he was taken into cus tody, and saw him with several others very riotous. He also heard him call out " Down with him." Langley, 100 A, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Mr. Bingham said however hurtful it might he to de• fendwat's feelings, he bad one question to ask, which must be answered one way or the other. Was the defen dant known to the police as a pickpocket ? A reply was given in the negative. Defendant protested that he was exceedingly well and respectably connected. He was acquainted with Baron Platt, and Alderman Challis was his great uncle. Mr. Bingham, after reviewing the whole of the evi dence, said there were two classes of persons who went to those places for the purpose of making a disturbance, namely, pickpockets and idle people about town. Pick pockets made it a matter of business, and the idle young men went on purpose to annoy the respectable portion of the audience. The defendant was one of those idle young men, and he should fine him 405., and recommend him to tell all the idle young men of his acquaintance the result of his appearance at this court. SOUTHWARK. ROBBING A SAlLOB.—Charlotte Holland, a young girl about 18 years of age, was brought before Mr. Burcham charged with stealing a 51. Bank of England note and 203. in silver from the person of Benjamin Procter. The prosecutor, a jolly-looking Jack tar, stated that a short time ago he was paid off at Southampton, and on the previous day he came up to London to see some friends. As soon as he left the railway he strolled into Tooley-street to partake of refreshments, and fell in -with some old shipmates. After he had left them he ran foul of the prisoner, whom be accompanied to . her lodgings in Tathill•court. He sent for some gin, and then be had a 51. note in his matoh•box and about 20s. in silver. On getting up about 7 o'clock he missed the prisoner from the room, and on examining his clothes he also missed the bank note and all his silver money. He immediately went to look after the prisoner, and found her in bed with another female in a room up:stairs. Witness then called in a constable and gave her into custody, but his money could not be found. Mr. Burnham asked him what state he was in when he met the prisoner ? Prosecutor replied that he was drunk, but at the same time he knew his money was safe when he was in the house with her. Mr. Burcham asked what sort of a house it was that they went to? Police constable 72 M, who took her into custody, said it wai a brothel of the very worst description, kept by a very bad character named Hill. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the prosecutor. She never saw him until he came up into her bedroom and charged him with robbing her. The prosecutor was recalled, and, in answer to the worthy magistrate, said that he was not so drunk when he fell in with the prisoner as not to know her again. lie was positive that she was the female who robbed him, and no one else. Mr. Burcham said that, under all the circumstances, he should remand the prisoner until Saturday next, to enable the police to make further inquiries. Perhaps the house had better be more carefully searched. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Nov. G.—Wind this day at noon, Easterly ; moderate breezo and fine.

THE IRON AND COAL TRADES.—More disasters are dis turbing the districts of South Staffordshire and East Wor cestershire. The partial stoppage of Fos, Henderson, and Co., of the London Works, near Birmingham, and cense• quent upon a foundry near Wordsley, has created consi derable anxiety, as no one knows what such suspensions may lead to. Preliminary meetings of some of the credi tors of the firms alluded to have been held, and the whole of them will be called together in a few days to examine the state of their affairs, and to decide whether or not time shall be given them for payment and also the carrying on of their works. Several ironmasters who can do so have agreed to blow out some of their furnaces and reduce their snake, as they find it impos sible to sell pig-iron at present rates to realise anything like a fair margin of profit, and to stock pigs would be unwise at the present high rate of material. We stated some time ago that the tightness of the money market would operate prejudicially upon the trade; this has come to pass, high rates are being exacted for good bills, and great caution is being exercised by the local banks as to what paper they discount. The iron trade is again undergoing a refining process, and it is • hoped that the ordeal through which some will have to pass will be the , means of ultimately benefitting the trade rather than otherwise.— Wo/rerhampton Chronicle. TEE NORTHERN RAILLOAD FRArD. We glean the following particulars of the capture of Carpentier from the New York Tribune and from a private letter : Charles Carpentier, the principal person impli cated in the late enormous frauds upon the Northern Railroad Company of France, was arrested on Thursday last, 7th. Soon after the publication 'of the details of these frauds in this country, and the belief that the parties had'fled hither, the brothers Gv rpnt ele e ta iei nc . l the broker Pa.rot were captured, but Carpentier adroitly eluded arrest and fled the city, going; no one knew whither. It is said that he hint ed, when last seen, that he would go to Philadel phia, and it w as believed that he had set out for New Orleans. So skilful were his efforts to cover up his retreat that while he was quietly wending his way through the interior of this State one of the keenest of the United States deputy marshals of this city took the steamer for New Orleans in pursuit. The Rethschilds, who are said to be large losers by these frauds, have manifestedgreat anxiety about the escape of these parties, and extraordinary efforts were put forth, both by themselves and their agents, to effect their arrest. When it was known that Carpentier had left the city, Mr. Christmas, the agent of Auguste Belmont, caused a minute description of his person and appearance to be extensively circulated, together with the offer of 1,000 dols. for his capture. This tempting prize set all the catctipoles in the countryouthealer alert, and Carpentier's chance of escape grew proportion ably small. There were plenty of aspirants eag er for the honour of catching the fugitive and greedy of the golden reward which was to follow. Late last Thursday night Capt. Dowling, of the Sixth Ward police, was awakened by a tall mys terious-looking fellow coming into his sleepin g apartment and shaking him roughly by the shoul der. Starting up, he saw a man by his bedside, wrapped in a thick cloak, which was so muffled up as to conceal the lower half of his face, while a slouched hat concealed the upper part, leaving only his eyes and the tip of his nose visible. "Who are you?" asked the captain. "An officer. Got a prisoner for you."—" Who is he ?" " Carpen tier, the French railroad robber."—" Show me your authority for arresting him " He drew out from under his cloak, a warrant issued by Justice Osborne. " Who are you, anyway ? Where do you hail from ? If you are an officer, where do you belong to ?" The stranger coolly replied, " I have brought you a prisoner ; there is my autho rity. By what right do you thus question me ?" Dowling, who was now standing in the middle of the room shivering with cold, suddenly fired up at this answer, and told the stranger to clear out and air himself in the entry, for his insolence, and wait until he was ready to attend to him. hen he came out the prisoner had been lodged in the cells, and his captor, after duly transferring him to the custody of Dowling, left. Next day he did not come back nor send Carpentier any food, and to wards noon Dowling sent out for some at his own expense. He then discovered that the pri soner was handcuffed and in great pain from the swelling of his wrists, the cuffs having been on ever since his arrest. The captain, after much difficulty, succeeded in getting his wrists free, and then placed him in a warm room and made him comfort able. In the evening Sergeant Brown, of the chief's office, and United States Deputy-Marshal Ryer went to the Sixth Ward stationhouse and conveyed the prisoner to the Eldridge-street gaol, where he is now confined on a civil suit. W'iat became of the unknown officer we could net discover, as none of those of whom we inquired could tell any thing about him—who he is, where he came from, or whither lie has gone. It seems that Carpen tier' on arriving at ew York, lodged two days at St. Nicholas's Hotel, and then went to several se condary homes. He had no communication with the two brothers Grelot or Perot, and was not ac companied, as was said, by a female named Geor gette. It was by the newspapers that he learned the arrival of employes of the railway company and of police officers to arrest him ; but he had already , taken the precaution of bribing a number of per sons to keep watch for him, and give him warning of the approach of the slighte - st danger. He re sided two weeks in a house in the upper part of the city, and there he had a narrow escape. Tue police learned that beyond all doubt he was in the house, and after having placed a watch on all the issues, they commenced a strict search ; every room, every closet, was examined in vain, and at last they reached a garret iu which, on a wretched bed, was lying au old woman, her feet wrapped up in bandages, and apparently suffering great pain. The officers laid their hands on the bed clothes with the intention of looking beneath them, but the woman raised such a piercing cry of agony that they did not venture to disturb her, and they at last went away. Yet to their vexation they after wards learned that Carpentier was at that very moment secreted between the mattresses ! As it was dangerous for him to remain in the house he determined on leaving it, but from the manner in which it was watched this was difficult. However, ho contrived it in this way : eight of his spies en tered and left the house, as if in great agitation, and so contrived to fix on them the attention of the police ; he in the meantime got down from a win dow, fifteen feet high, into the court yard o f an adjacent house, and from it reached the street ; three or four other spies were waiting to receive him, and they conducted him to another house at a short distance. The day after (as was subsequently ascertained) he took a drive in New York ; the day following, he_ went to Yorkville ; then to elolsken ; then lie took the Erie Railway, which goes to Phi ladelphia, but left it at Newburg. He had previ ously cut his hair very short, shaved off his mous • tachios, and dressed himself as a labourer. From Newburg he went on foot across the country to Canterbury, and there got employment as a la- i bourer on a farm belonging to one Ketael t i_h e consenting to receive for his labour only trifling wages with board and lodging. He there thought himself in perfect security ; but a German of New York, ono of his spies, in a moment of intoxication let fall some words which indicated the direction he had taken, and two police officers, accompanied by an unknown individual (who has since turned out to be a Mr. M'Knight, of Washington), soon 'tracked him to the farm. On inspecting the premises they found them guarded by a hu g e and very savage dog, and they accordingly returned to the town to obtain the means of poisoning him. In the dead of night, having silenced the animal, they effected an entrance into the house and found Car pentier fast asleep in his bed with his clothes on. They awoke him and announced that be was their prisoner, and must accompany them to New York. He protested that he was not the man they sought, but they showed him the minute description of his person, which had been given to them, and produced his photographic portrait., which had been sent from Paris. Finding further denial useless he gave himself up. He was securely handcuffed, and then assisted into a waggon in waiting outside. Two officers from Newburgh fol lowed him, and an hour or so afterwards saw them all safely in Newburgh. Next day M'Knight and Carpentier crossed the river in a row boat, Car pentier still handcuffed. Their arrival in this city we have -already described. Quite i n keet3iug with these singular proceedings is another transaction is the same case. On Friday last (17th) M. E. Tie sandier, inspector of the Northern Railroad Com pany heofHFarllasucoef? a ppeared before Justice, and made the following deposition :—" Emmanuel Tissander, ofPaiisei2 France, now being in the city of New York,being . duly sworn, deposes and says tl•a t 5,747 shares of titles of the capital stock of the Northern Railway Company of France, with the coupons attached thereto, have been stolen or embezzled from said that deponent suspect s that such property, or c ompany ; that the same are of g reat va l ue, and. a portion N t e is concealed Sixteenth-streeti n the house( (tenement hi p e r n e t mises, o. 197, cityof New-York ; ho therefore com plains prays for a warrant for ea as conceal ssu ed d , a a s pwraorvriadnetd, hou house), of in the the above, " E. TISSANDIEII." s ins rl for u c e i h all casesthe property hy lw. Judge Osborn e thereupon p iauthorising officer Sergeant Brown and Deputy- Marshal Ryen to search the suspected premises. M. Tissanclier's suspicions were aroused, it is sa;d, bythe following anonymous communication, wlrch, we learn, was sent to one of the parties iut( rested: _et In the second storey of tenement•house, No. 197, West Sixteenth-street, front route, lives Fre derick Couvet, house carpenter. In the sub cellar ' of said house, where fuel is kept, and which is di vided into wood rooms to accommodate four or five families who live there, in the woodhouse appor tioned to said Couvet there have recently beeu re ceived two tons of coal. The coal must be removed. Under the coal is three inches of sawdust or earth. Between the coal and paving of the cellar, under the flagging of brick or stone, whatever the cellar is paved with, is a small wooden box, a foot square, enclosing a tin box containing the valuables." The officers found the box precisely as stated, much to the astonishment of the people in the house, who did not dream that so rich a treasure was lying concealed on their premises. It was very heavy, and taken to the police-court unopened, where it was handed over in the same condition to the agent_ of Mr. Belmont, agent to MM. de Rothsahild of t ,. d he it e s has not known y that stated at a o amongst precise other 100,000 f. in bank notes, two gold watches, some thingscontentsi t contained abnut pieces of gold, but Carp . entier This latter says to any one and some private papers of no inte restn Paris. He gives e t fi h ,e e et p e r d o i ceeds o . f sale . of that 6 : oo otflie2.einOteo,o4oife.hahree 4: d k 107 i li 2 .an account of the robbery of the railway shares in France similar to that of Grelet ; but says that, though the director of the rail way specially charged with the care of the shares had, like him, a key o one of the locks of the safe in which they were kept, i he (the director) always left his key in the office, so that he (Carpentier) was able t o p ossess h i mself of it. He declares, moreover, that he committed no for gery or falsification in the shares, or in his accounts, and that consequently the only charge that can be made against him is that of simple theft. He seems convinced that for robbery his extradition cannot - be granted, anti accordingly is perfectly calm, and declares th a t h e i s cer t a i n soon t o b e set at aerty. He, however, expresses himself greatly puzzled to know how his retreat could have been discovered, especially as he hesitates to believe that any of the persons in whom he trusted could betray him. Carpentier is still attired in his labouring dress, but the polish of the gentleman is plainly visible through his disguise. He is confined in a large room with other prisoners, both white and coloured. They speak no French, and but few words of Eng lish. He said his lawyer had been to see him, and he didn't want to say anyt hi ng. Carpentier has not yet been permitted to have intercourse with Gre let, or any of the other French prisoners in this case, although under the same roof with, them. The prisoners were quite anxious to see each other yesterday, but the keeper of the prison, in accord. ante with his orders from the United States Mar shal, refused them that privilege, THE CONCESSION OF THE RUSSIAN RAIL• WA TS TO THE CREDIT MOBILIEIt. Le Nord of Tuesday contains the following com munication from St. Petersburg, relative to the concession of the new lines of railway in Russia " In the sitting of the 23d (October) the condi tions of the concession to the society of the Credit Mobilier were signed. The latter undertakes the construction of about 3,800 versts of railways, the routes of which are as follow :—The first, and at this moment the chief one, is that from St. Peters burg to Warsaw. The Government having already finished, at its own expense, a portion of the line, about 300 versts, and having prepared works for constructing the whole, the company engages to reimburse the outlay, which amounts to nearly 80,000,000 francs. The second line is from Mos cow to Theodosia. The distance between these two cities by the ordinary road is 1,356 versts, and filmy considerable towns are connected by this iine. The surprise is that it should terminate at Theodosia instead of Odessa. I am ignorant of the cause of the exclusion of the richest city in the south of Russia ; I suppose, however, that it will not be long before a branch of the principle line will make it enter the general net-work. The third line is from Moscow to Nijnii-Novgorod (390 versts). The fourth will commence at lioursk, the capital of a province, and centre of commercial activity in the interior of Russia, and will termi nate at the port of Libau. This line will cross at Duuaburg the line between St. Petersburg and War_zaw. " The company undertakes to finish these lines before the expiration of ten years; the Warsaw route will naturally be first open for circulation, and that of Nijnii-Novgorod will imm e di a t e ly fo'l ,w. Thu concession i s for 85 years ; the capital of the company is about 270,000,000 silver roubles (or 1,030,000,000 francs)—that is to say, the shares to he issued are not to exceed that amount. A third of the shares are to be allotted in Russia. The shires will not be quoted on the Bourse. The Government guarantees a minimum of 5 per cent. ARGYLL ROOMS. This agreeable place of amusement has reopened for the winter season, under improved manage ment. During the recess the magnificent rooms have undergone alterations and re-decoration in a style commensurate with the spirit of the age, and with a view to the increased comfoi t and enjoy ment of the visitors. The quadrille band has been extensively increased, and includes M. Boulcourt, the celebrated cornet-a-piston player, whose pel formances have delighted numerous audiences. His reputation is almost as great as the renowned M. Koenig, and be bids fair to successfully rival him and divide public applause. The fame of M. Boulcourt on this difficult instrument lia,4 already arrested public attention, and large numbers are attracted nightly to hear him. The arrangements for the future good management of this establish ment are such as to inspire confidence and make it a favourite place of amusement where the tedium of a winter's evening might be agreeably dispelled. Perseverance in the course now adopted cannot fail to be appreciate], and with it enhance the re putation of the establishment, and command a larger share of public patronage than heretofore. CHARCE OF MANSLAUGHTER,. The Court of Assizes of the Var, in its last sitting, tried a young man, named Bonnaud, for manslaughter. He is the son of a retired notary of large fortune of Le Val, and was allowed by his father, with whom be lived, an ample income. Having no occupation he plunged into libertinage, and by means of his wealth seduced several young woraen in the neighbourhood. One of his mistresses was a young dressmaker, named Homey, and es he nut only made her valuable presents, but lent her father money, the latter did not object to his connection with her. In July last the brother of the young woman, a sailor, came home, and he soon heard of her misconduct. He at once went to Bonnaud and per emptorily ordered him to break off all connection with his sister under pain of encountering his vengeance. Bonnaud told the young woman's father of the threats of the bro ther, and the father answered, " Don't be afraid of him, he is only a Russian !" meaning thereby that be was more boastful than resolved.. Things continued in this state until the 12th August last, when, at about ten o'clock in the evening, Bonnaud and the young woman met at the village fountain, but whether by appoint men t or accident is not known. Whilst they were conversing, young Romey came up and cried out angrily to Bon used, " I forbade you to speak ',to my sister !" " You do not, I suppose, mime to forbid me coming to the fountain ?" answered Bonnaud. "If you were not such a little fellow," said Romey, who waq a tall, powerfel man, " I would strike you." " Strike !" cried the thisßomey Bon without s hesitation co s r n a c n k d h a i m s t i r n u g t g h l e e face. other, a o n n d ensued.

After going some distance, Rainey turned round to face his adversary, who was pursuing him, the poignard in his hand. A new struggle took place between them, and Romey received a stab in the breast. Romey again took to flight, and Bonnaud, watching him, cried cut, " With such a stab as that, I cannot un derstand how be can run !" but, after making rather a large circle, Romey arrived near the fountain and there fell. The bystanders hastened to his assistance, but found that he was dead. All these facts were clearly proved by several witnesses, amongst whom was the sister of the victim. After she had given her evi• deuce, the president asked her how it happened that she had permitted herself to be seduced by the prisoner. "He promised me marriage, sir," she replied, " and I believed him." "Is that true?" asked the president of the prisoner. " No," he answered gruffly, "she lies." This reply created a painful irni-ression in the court. The defence set up for the prisoner was that he had acted in self-defenea ; but the jury declared him guilty, and the Court sentenced him to ire years' bard la bour. MARKET NEWS.—(This ray.)

There is no possible employment in these localitie s for new arrivals, and several parties already arrived out there, thinking they could at once be put in possession of grant of land, were likely to fiuffer great distress, and had been compelled - to pr oceed some hundred of miles di:ta:to endeavour to find einployment.—Entigratiot Record. 50 100 10r. , toc all all all 10 54 5 93i 3 84 125 I 35 4i 211 108 i
