t h 1% CONEVITZICIAL 4 1 VAS, CITY., Two 0'Cz.%•.;.. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a very dull aspect, and, compared with last week's rates, all kiwis were steadily supported. The sales ana , tunted to bete een 6,000 and 7,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken for export and 300 on speculation. The Railway Share Market was inactive, nut prices were steady, and closed firmly at their best point. The official returns relatin g tion to trade and naviga , fur tre mohth ending 31st Oct., have been prohibited. From these it appears that the total declared value of exports from the United King dom, for the month, was 10,666,9511., being an increase of 1 ,806,357/., compared with those of the like month in 1855. The increase is perceptible in beer and ale, coals and culw, cotton manufac tures, earthenware, glass manufactures, haber dashery and millinery, hardwar,s and culery, leather, linen, yarn, metals, silk manufactures, woollen and worsted manufactures, and woollen and worsted yarn ; but there was a falling off in fish, machinery, and soap. The importations of the principal articles were larger, as respects animal charcoal, clocks, coca, corn, barley, oats, rye, flour, raw cotton, flax, cur rants, plate glass, hemp, leather manufac tures, potatoes, r i ce , saltpette, silk manufactures, cloves,. nutmegs, brandy, Geneva, sugar unrefin e d, tallow, tea, wine, and sheep's anti lambs' wool. There was a diminution, cotn,.ared with th e Same month, in live animals, coffee, dyeing stuffs, em• broviery, metals, opium, provisions, rum, and tobacco. The return relative to shipping also exhibits some satisfactory features, a much larger number of for e i gn vesse l s h aving been employed in the fo- 5 reign trade of the United Kingdom, as well as in the coasting business. In the commercial advises from the Continent, received thi- morning, a statement is furnished of the progresss of the manufacture of beetroot sugar St in France during the season 1856 7, until the end of October. It appears that 269 tnattufac.:ories have been in full operation, or 15 more than at the correvonding period of the previous season, and that the pr,duction has been 15,000,000 kil.. 25 grammes. This has become a m os t important N 5 branch of French industry, and the article 4t . made has, of course, greatly superseded Y o ) the foreign staple, th e per i od i cal returns of imports showing a steady increase in this respect. The Paris Bourse yesterday recovered from the !A. weakness noticed during the two or three previous ' .O days, the investing public having again come for ward as purchasers. Wi h regard to monetary affairs a gradual improvement is spoken of, and 't it is expected that the next monthly return of the 20 Bank of France will show some very satisfactory results. Shr.

Pt: The Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada Will pay a dividend at the rate of 7i per cent. per annum. The Directors of the Bank of England have se- 8 1 parated without announcing any change in the .4 ' terms of discount. Although many were of opinion that a reduction of per cent, would have been made, it could scarcely have been supposed when all the circumstances connected with the recent cri,ss are Si dulyconsidered that affairs had sufficiently improved ? i t i' to admit of any re l axation in the restrictive policy lately adopted. The amount of "other Securities" 40 must be greatly reduced, and the reserve of notes .40 will have to be considerably augmented before any to of the discount restrictions are removed ; and it is thought, therefore, that the lowering of the rate at the present moment would have k 0 been very indiscreet. At a later period of th e St. year there is no doubt capital will become cheaper, but although it is very desirable to relieve trade from the shackles now existing, but at the same 10 k : time it is eq ua ll y i mportant that undue encourage- it. went should not be given to speculation by a too ct. precipitate action on the part of the directors. The Bask will make advances on stock during t. the shutting of the transfer books at 7 per Cent. The En g li s h Stock Market opened with a buoy. ant appe arance, but very little animation is appa- ,5 25 rant, and a t t h e present moment prices are rather less firm. The dealers are busily engagedengaged in 'ii. arranging the half-yearly account in Shares and Foreign Stocks, and as the settlement 225 0 of the C onso l account soon takes place fresh operations are temporarily contracted.

(Bef >re Mr. Commissioner Holroyd His Honour concurred that it would be for the bene fit of all parties that some arrangement should be come The case was adjourned accordingly. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN BE FAIREARNS, A FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT.-The bankrupt was de scribed as of York-road, King's-cress, coffeehouse keeper, &c., and to-day was appointed for choice of assignees. Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, appeared for the petitioning creditor, and stated that the bankrupt had absconded, after having sold off all his stock and property. The petitioning creditors are Messrs Deane and Dray, who are creditors for 1501. Messrs. Deane and Dray were chosen assignees. The bankrupt surrendered after the adjudication took place, and obtained protection, bat did not now appear. IN RE ROBSON—THE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS. To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, who was connected with the Crystal Palace frauds. He was brought tp in custody and placed in a private room whilst the pie forma business of taking proofs was gone on with. The court was crowded to excess, but nothing of the slightest public interest occtrred up to half-past one. CRIMINAL COURT.--(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) BURGLIRY. Henry Pearson, aged 27, described as a labourer, pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary, with int en t t o steal the goods and chattels of John Bird. The prisoner had been previously convicted. Four years' penal servi- tude. MAKING A FALSE ENTRY IN TIE REGISTER OP DEATHS. Mr. Metcalfe said that he had been informed that late last evening the grand jury returned a true bill against a person named Colley, at the instance of a person named Campbell, for falsely entering in the re• gister of deaths the age of a lady at 60, instead of SO years of age. The charge had been investigated by two different magistrates, both of whom had refused to send the case to the sessions, and now the prosecutor behind the defendant's back came here and preferred the pre. sent indictment. The present applicatio❑ to the Court was to ask the Court to settle the amount of bail to be put in for the defendant's /appearance, and that in the event of a warrant being granted br his apprehenskn its execution should be stayed. The learned judge made an order for staying the war• rant, and ordered that the defendant should enter into his own recognisanceg in 100/., and two sureties in 501, each-24 hours' notice of bail to be given. BIGAMY. ifenry Myers, 39, labourer, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously marrying Elizabeth Fletcher, hie wife, Eliza Chivers, being alive. Mr. G. P. Doyle said that he was instructed to pro secute, and stated to the Court that the prisoner mar ried his wife on Dec. 18, 1849, and lived with her till June last, when he deserted her to live with the woman Fletcher, whom he subsequently married, she knowing at the time that the prisoner's wife was alive. At the time the prisoner married his first wife she was in the service of a person named Wilson, a hairdresser, Moor lane. She was 38 years of age, and had saved 501. The prisoner had no money, but with his wife's savings he took a coffee-shop in High-street, Wapping. The first wife, who complained of ill-usage on the part of the prisoner, prosecuted in this instance. The Common Sergeant said that the prisoner, in a statement he had put in, stated that he was induced to leave his wife, who had ruined him and blighted his prospects by her drunken and disgraceful conduct. If true, he did not appear to have benefited himself in that respect by his second marriage, for he (the Com mon Sergeant) found by the depositions that the second wife was addicted to the same vice. He sentenced the prisoner to 4 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. - G AROTTE ROBBERY. - • Frederick Travers, 28, painter, pleaded guilty to a charge of violently assaulting and, in conjunction vi itk three other persons, robbing a person named John Moore of a watch and other articles. The robbery was committed with great violence, the prisoner being assisted by three other desperate characters. The prisoner was known to the police as an associate of thieves. He was sentenced to fourteen years' trans. portation. BURGLARY AT BRIXTON. William Henry lYotton, 20, casemaker, and Joseph, Young, 15, labourer, pleaded guilty to a burglary in the dwelling-house of George Swire, and stealing therein a bat, telescope, and other articles his property, and Charles Culling, 20, shoemaker, Charles Romer, is, shoemaker, and Mary Ann Clarke, 19, pleaded not guilty to feloniously receiving part of the same property, well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted ; the. .prisoners were unde fended. It appeared, from the evidence, that the prosecutor was a chemist, of Brixton-hill, and Wotton was for merly in his service as a porter, but had left him a few months previous to the robbery. Cr the night of the 29th October the prosecutor retired to rest between eleven and twelve o'clock, having Previously fastened up the premises in his usual manner. About six o'clock in the morning he was awoke by the violent barking of his dog, and on his getting down stairs he found the pre mises had been broken into, the shop, & c., In great dia. order, and the place completely ransacked.

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-PETITION TO ANNUL. To-day was appointed for the consideration of a peti tion to annul the proceedings in bankruptcy, presented by Mr. Marcus, a shareholder. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said that the prayer of the petition was not only to annul, but also that the assets in the hands of the official assignee in bankrupcty should be transferred to the chambers of the Vice-Chan cellor, in which .the proceedings under the Winding -up Act were being carried on. He was glad to say that they would not have to trouble the Court at any lengtl to-day, as an arrangement had been proposed, and he hoped would be carried into effect, as the notice of appeal which had been given at the moment against the judgment of his Honour the Vice -Chancellor had been withdrawn, and it had been suggested that the bankruptcy should be proceeded with in order to obtain for the creditors an equal, comparatively cheap, and speedy distribution of the assets, and according to the proposed arrangement for the proceedings to be carried on in Bankruptcy, no individual shareholder world be liable, and a mutual, just., and fair contribution would be made by the share holders ; he, therefore, had to ask that the petition should stand adjourned generally, with leave to apply for a day to be appointed, in the event of the arrange. ment not being carried into effect.

There is little new to communicate to•day, public attention being everywhere occupied with the great meeting held last night in the Riding•school and its re• sults, which were telegraphed to the limes, and pub lished this morning. Mr. Weguelin, who first addressed the meeting, set forth his claims as a commercial man to the representation of an important commercial constitu ency like Southampton, and explained the leading points of his political creed as exhibited in his address to the electors, which we printed on Monday. Mr. James followed, confining himself chiefly to the cry got up against th e l awyers, and to an examination of the valu able services rendered by that class of men to the liberties of the country. The uproar throughout the meeting was of the most turbulent character, and the result has only added fuel to the flames, instead of allay ing them. Bills have been issued to-day, one set announcing the adoption of the resolution in favour of Mr. James, and the other declaring the contrary, and the majority to have fallen on Mr. Weguelin. The partisans on each side vehemently uphold their respective views, and the feeling is more violent and bitter than ever. Mr. James has published another address to-day, in which be says : " A majority of the Liberal electors of your borough, by a resolution passed at a large public meeting held last evening, having declared me the most fit and proper per son to represent you in Parliament, I hasten to return my thanks for the honour conferred upon me. " I have already explained to you my political prin ciples, and beg to assure you that I shall seek every oppor tttnity of personal interview with each elector:' After the meeting at the Riding -school broke up last night a large number of Mr. James's supporters met at the Royal Hotel, and formed themselves into an active canvassing committee, with Mr. Alderman Dusautoy as chairman, and Mr. Alderman Blatch, as deputy-chair man. Committee-rooms have been opened at the Royal York Hotel (wla:'.l has been for some time unoccupied), and the exhibition outside of large placards announcing the fact gives token of the contest having commenced in earnest. A large and influential assemblage of Mr. Weguelin's supporters was also held today at the Star Hotel, to make the necessary arrangements for the coming struggle. Mr. Alderman Coles, we believe, acts as chairman of Mr. Weguelin's committee. Everything betokens the adventof a severe fight, and, unless some arrangement can be happily arrived at to heal the split in the Liberal ranks, the town will be plunged for the next three months into the turmoils of one of the most painful and bitter political struggles that have ever been known in Southampton. Mr. William Lankester, the iron -founder, and one of the principal tradesmen in the town, has been ap. pointed chairman of Mr. Weguelin's committee, and Mr. Alderman Tucker has been appointed deputy-chair man. Mr. Weguelin's committee rooms are directly opposite those of Sir Edward Butler; Mr. James's committee-rooms are at the Royal York Hotel. There is every reason to believe that before the elec tion comes on, one of the liberal candidates will retire to enable the liberals to fight the conservative candidate with their full force.

"A PEEP AT SCOTLAND THROUGH HER SONGS."— Under this title, which aptly enough indicates the pur pose she has in view, Miss Lizzy Stuart gave an enter tainment last night at the Walworth Literary Institution, , comprising readings and songs very judiciously alter nated. The lecture, for it was truly such, is introduced by an appropriate graceful speech, which at once be- ! speaks the attention of the audience; and to the title of each song there was appended a variety of historical incidents, amusing anecdotes, and biographical notices, I , selected with great care and good literary taste. Miss Stuart's enunciation is distinct and emphatic, though I somewhat rapid ; and her conception and expression of I several points in her lecture told with great effect. Her musical abilities are well adapted for expressing the' various peculiarities of Scottish song. She was equally successful in the pathetic and tender as in the more stirring and humorous. In particular, two modern songs by Mr. Ballantine of Edinburgh, " Castles in the Air," and " Ilka blade o' grass," were sung exquisitely, and were greatly applauded. The entertainment, upon the whole, is one which ought to be very congenial and ap. propriate to literary institutions—amusement and in struction being judiciously blended. Those who are fond of singing 'will like the sone—Scotch songs are always i liked—while those who sea more intellectual aliment will find it is historical its anclnuional cliaruttriatiQg • I.
