The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed ♦ery tamely, and with the exception of Boweds, from 5Ad. to sid. per lb., which wore offered most freely and were a shade in favour of the buyer, all descriptions were unchanged. The sales amounted to 6,000 or 7,000 hales-500 for export, and a like number on speculation—comprising 570 Pernam and Maranham, 6d. to Id. ; 80 Bahia, sd. to ; 600 Egyptian, chiefly at bid. to 81d. ; 700 Surat, 31d. to 4/d. ; and 50 Sea Islands, 10d. to 3d. per lb. The Railway Share Market pre sented no feature calling for particular remark, and prices wore about the same as on Wednesday. The colonial produce markets re-opened on Wed nesday, and have since ruled exceedingly dull. Sugar, of which a very small quantity has been sold, is rather cheaper, and in some cases the rates accepted have not been allowed to transpire. A moderate inquiry has existed for coffee at former quotations. No public sales of rice have taken place, and Cocoa is 3s. to 4s. cheaper, Rum had been dull, aid ld. to 2d. per gallon lower, and very little has been done in tea. Common congou is 0.41. to Sid. per lb. Saltpetre has receded ls. per cwt, cotton has continued dull, cochineal is steady, and tallow has rather tended upwards. P.Y.C. is about 68s. per cwt. on the spot. Some useful information regarding the seed trade during the past year is furnished by Messrs. Edwards and Eastley in their annual circular. A complete revolution has taken place in this impor tant branch of commerce since the commencement of the war. The blockade of the Russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas has almost annihilated the trade in linseed with Russia, which used to form one of its largest exports to this country. It is an example of the peculiar nature of our com mercial relations, that now in the third year of the war the deficiency created is expected to be fully made up ; and what is of importance to us in the present instance is the consideration that the article will be principally supplied by our own East Indian possessions. Hitherto Black Sea lin seed fixed the market price in London, now the standard value of the best sorts is ruled by the importations from Calcutta. The total imports of linseed during the past year amounted to 700,000 quarters, against 827,714 qrs. in 1854, and 1,035,336 qrS• in 1853, showing a decline of 100,0J0 and 300 ) 00 0 qrs. respectively. It is anticipated, how ever, that th e sill ply during the current year will reach, if not exceed, that of 1851, and in time at tain the quantity of 1853. Every packet from the East Indies brings advices that this branch of the export trade is commanding the attention of the Planters, who are preparing to increase the culti vation of the plant during the ensuing year. The shipments of bullion during the six months e nding December 31, according to a statement pre- P ar ed by Messrs. Haggard and Pixley, made up a tot a l of 9,462,2101. against 4,671,8301. in the similar period of last year. During the last twelve months the exports were 14,224,6101., and in 185 4, 10,902,8771., showing an increase in the past Year of 3,321,7331. These totals are, of course, irrespective of the large sums sent by way of Folke stone and Dover to France, which, according to the Customs' returns, amounted in the last six months of 1854 to 6,366,0101., and in the like period of 1855 to 10,821,4501. The extensive sales of public securities noticed for some time past, supposed to be on. account of the Government, have not yet ceased, and the mar ket consequently remains in a feeble condition. Consols opened at 87g, but have since receded to 87 to 87k. At the present time they are about 87 i I. The New Three per Cents. are 871 2 to 87'i, and the Reduced 871 to 87g. Exchequer Bills have again declined, being 10s. to ss. dis. The 3 0 Years' Annuity is 16 3-16ths to 16 5-16ths. The quotations for some of the principal Foreign Securities still tend downwards, and speculative dealing is contracted. Turkish 6 per Cents., after having been 81i are ROSY 80Z- to 811, and the New Scrip continues weak at 3i discount. Mexican Ponds are, however, firm at 19; to 20,and Russian 5 per Cents. at 87. Sardinian 5 per Cents. have receded to 811, and Belgian 4A- per Cents. at 92k. Spanish Bonds are weaker, the 3 per Cents. being 38J, the New Deferred 21k, and the Passive 7. Dutch 21 per Cents. are 63i-, and the 4 per Cents. 941 to 94. The following arc the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, G ; Mexican, i -1920 ; Peruvian, 74 6 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 52 4 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 46 48 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 95 7 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 86 88 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 381 9; ditto Deferred, 20 21i ; ditto Certificates, 4i ; ditto Passive, 7 Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report the mar ket for American Securities as still inactive, with no alteration in prices, apart from the deduction of the half-yearly dividend upon a number of stocks.

Meeting this Day. The adjourned meeting of this company took place this day at the Bridge-house Tavern, Louden bridge, to receive and adopt the report of the Committee of Investigation, relative to the affairs of the company ; Mr. Anderson in the chair. It will be recollected that at the last meeting a stormy discussion took place on the report, which occupied so many hours that the meeting had to be adjourned. The SECRETARY having read the notice of mooting, The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had heard the cir cumstances and the business for which they had been called together, and he had to call their attention to the question under discussion when the meeting was adjourned on the 14th ult., and which would be resumed that day. In doing 80, he had to ask them to adopt the course followed at all public discussions—via., that when a gentleman I)ad once spoken on the question he would be satisfied with that, and not make repeated speeches. He urged on them, at the former meeting, that they would conduct the business as gentlemen and men of business, and as men who had come forward to discuss matters connected with their own interest, and in a business manner. (Hear.) It was important to the interests of the under taking that no more delay should take place ; in fact, the procrastination that had already taken place—arising from the appointment of the committee of investigation first, and after that the adjournment of the last meet ing—was paralysing the efforts of the directors, who, with himself, he hoped, were honestly doing what they could to promote the interests of the shareholders. As an instance, he stated that the directors had made arrangements on their personal responsibility to raise money to carry the concern over till June next, but after the result of the last meeting they had thought it wise as prudent men not to involve themselves in that respon sibility, and had only made provision for the payment of the interest on the debentures. Mr. Fuller, who was prevented from addressing them on the former occasion, not being a shareholder, had since qualified as such, and it was but fair he should be first heard in explanation. Mr. FIILLIR then addressed the meeting at consider able length, remarking that he believed their directors were as honest as the representatives of any other public company, and said the charges brought against them had been made without his sanc tion. With regard to contracts having been taken by persons connected with the directors, he knew of but one instance, and that was Mr. Geach, the circumstances connected with. which he fully and satisfactorily ex plained. He hoped the meeting would not be led away from the question at issue. It was the duty of the shareholders to support the amendment. Mr. Fuller defended himself from the charge that had been made against him, that the prosperity of the undertaking bad been injured by his dealing in the shares, and asked the shareholders to support him in the devising a scheme that would mince the capital and in crease the dividends. He was glad the sale of Rock-hills to Sir Joseph Paxton had not been persisted in. He warmly advocated the company re taining the assistance of that gentleman, and to keep him at Rock-hills, but he 'was opposed to their selling that property to him. So satisfied was he of the neces sity of their retaining Sir Joseph Paxton's assistance that he suggested to the committee that that gentleman should be paid a salary of 1001. for that assistance, with the Rock-hills as a residence, free of rent, but the commit tee rejected the suggestion. The hon. gentleman ac counted for his retiring from the directory, feeling that he was not entitled to receive payment from the company for services not adequate to the amount paid. (Hear.) H e a l s o said that in order to provide the share holders with a true account of the financ es o f th e com pany, he called on Mr. T urquan d, an accountant, and shareholder in the undertaking, who offered to inves tigate the accounts on the company paying his clerks 201. for their overtime. He (\lr. Fuller) made that statement to the committee, which was approved, and the offer refused. (Hear.) He had proposed two schemes for reducing the capital of the company, one on the ton tine principle, and he had no doubt if one were accepted by the company that in six months the shares would be at 2 prem. instead of 3 dis. (Hear.) The Temporary Tontine Company was to be formed, under the Limited Liability Act, in shares of 251. each, and to terminate at Christmas, 1865, the first capital of the company be ing 2,000,0001. The other plan was as follows : " That season tickets for the future be issued at three guineas each, and be available from May 12th to April 30th, inclusive.

He concluded by moving resolutions in accordance with the above. Sir J. PAXTON defended the charges that had been brought against never had su r r o a u n n y d i idnega the e inducing Crystal t b p i :m . ll He as: land t P h a e la c c ° e nianY for their own purpo ses , b ut b ecause h e was satis fled that that land would be very valuable, and would pay the company for the expenditure. They had made 50,0001. of s'ich land, and had they adopted his advice, and kept it a little longer, a larger sum would have been received for it. He had a desire to become the pur chaser of Rock-hills, but on his finding it was objection able he withdrew. What he had done with reference to that was s traightforward and honourable. He said that at the former pleating Alderman Wilson had said he (Sir J. Paxton) drew 1,0001. a-year from the company. He called on Alderman Wilson to prove that assertion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman WILF3ox said it was for Sir J. Paxton to prove be did not receive it. (Bear, hear.) Sir J. PAXTON said that statement was false—not only was it false, but the Alderman knew it to be false when he stated it. (Hear, hear, and cries of oh ! oh !) A SIIARIWOLDER suggested that that statement should be withdrawn. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HORSLEY addressed the meeting on the general questions at issue, urging that something should be done at this time of the year to make the Palace attractive, by turning it into a winter garden. It should be made a national concern, as well as a com mercial one. Of the Committee of Investigation con sisting of nine shareholders, five were favourable to the directors' plans, and of the other four, two declined to act ; so that out of the nine persons, there were but two, Mr. Price and Mr. Fuller, who actually represented the shareholders, and these were the two persons who dis sented from the report of the committee presented to the meeting. He contended the shareholders ought,to insist on a full and fair audit being made of the accolts, and that the evidence on which the committee had not acted, and by which the gentlemen who might succeed them might form a scheme for the better management of the undertaking should be furnished to the shareholders. He called attention to what he termed a wanton expen diture of money in building the stables and providing refreshment apartments, from the former of which but 52/. had been received, and about 8001. from the latter. A SIAREHOLDER called attention to a statement made at the former meeting that the directors had loaned 25,0001. on 5,000 shares of the company. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said the, company had not lost Gd. on loans, and no loans existed at the present time. (Cries of "Oh, oh ; that's no answer to the question.") A SHAREHOLDER said that he understood there were 20 or 30 persons present, officers and contractors con nected with the company, and asked br what purpose they wero there ? The CILIIRMAN said every precaution had been taken to prevent others than registered shareholders being present. (Hear, and cries of " Oh, oh.") Mr. LluN Lose, to address the meeting, but was met with hisses and cries of order, he having spoken on the question at the former meeting, and he was obliged to sit down unheard. [We will give the conclusion in onr next edition.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) SOUTHWARK. BURGLARY AT A JEWELLER'S.—Henry Booker and Sarah Webb, notorious bad characters, were brought before Mr. Combs, charged on suspicion of breaking and entering the dwelling-house of James Mulvaney, jewel ler, &c., High-street, Clapham, and stealing therefrom a quantity of gentlemen's gold rings, and other articles of jewellery. Inspector Moore, M division, said that on the Ist in stant he received information at the Police Station, Stones-end, that the prosecutor's premises had been robbed on the previous night, and that tire following articles were missed. A gold plain bracelet with locket; one silver mounted pebble shawl fastener, large anchor at one end, and a small one at the other, both silver mounted ; a silver mounted shawl pebble chain fastener, with a large silver pin at each end ; half-a-dozen anchor brooches, of different sizes, pebble and silver ornamented; and a tray containing about thirty gentlemen's gold rings, some solid gold, and ethers gold with stones set in them. In consequence of some information he after wards received, witness went to No. 3, Harrow-street, Mint-street, where he saw the prisoners in a room up• stairs. He told them he suspected they had stolen pro perty there, when the female replied that they had not, and he might search if he liked. Waness perceived that the male prisoner attempted to hide something, when he had him secured by another constable. He then found a handkerchief, in which was an anchor shawl-fastener set in silver, answering the de scription of one stolen from Mr. Mulvany's shop on the 31st ult. The female prisoner said that it belonged to her, and a gentleman had given it to her a month pre vious. She also claimed the handkerchief. On further searching the room they found a quantity of new fringe and some silk handkerchiefs. Webb said that the hand kerchiefs belonged to her husband. There were also balla-dozen shoemakers' knives, which he believed had recently been stolen from Queen-street. In a cupboard they found two flasks of oil and a plated cruet-stand, which no doubt were the produce of a burglary com mitted a few days ago. He (the Inspector) wished for a remand to enable him to make further inquiries, as he believed he should be able to trace more property to their possession. Booker said he knew nothing of the articles produced. He only went into the house to borrow a needle and thread. Mr. Coombe remanded them until Wednesday next. THAMES. ROBBERY ♦T SCOTT RUSSELL'S SHIP YARD.—Peter Laudon, a man about 25 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing 17 files, the property of Mr. John Scott Russell, ship builder, Mill-wall. Christopher Lloyd, police-constable No. 297 K, stated that he was on duty i• plain clothes last night in Robin Hood-lane, Poplar, and saw the prisoner advancing to wards a marine store shop, kept by a notorious receiver. He followed the prisoner into the shop, and directly the marine store dealer saw witness he said, "No, no ; I will not buy anything of the kind." He asked the pri soner what he had about him, to which he replied, "Nothing at all ; what is it to you ?" He took the prisoner into custody, and he made a ♦iolent re sistance, and said he would not go with him. After some trouble he got the prisoner to the station-house, and, upon searching him, found 17 files in his possession. They were concealed under his clothes. He asked the prisoner where he obtained them, to which he replied that he was out of work, and found them in the Barking road, just over the iron bridge, in Essex. Ho also found on the prisoner a ticket, which was his number at Mr. John Scott Rus sell's yard, where he ascertained the prisoner was employed. Mr. Alfred Sawbridge, storekeeper to Mr. John Scott Russell, said that files like those produced were in store. There were many hundred files on the premises like them. _ --- Tire prisoner, in defence, said he picked up the files on Mill-wall, between the Gallon Pot end Matthews' factory. Mr. Yardley—Supposing it were al you say, you had no business to appropriate anything you find to your own uae. If you picked up anything on the road it was your duty to ascertain, if possible, the owner of the property, or give information to the police. I have known people to be convicted of felony for appropriating to themselves what they have found. Tne prisoner begged for mercy, and said he had a wife an three children. Mr. Yardley—What is the character of this man ? Sawbridge—l never heard anything against him before. He has been at work for us some time. His character is very good. Mr. Yardley—Then I will give him the benefit of his good character. I hope this is the first time he has made a lap , :e, and that he will be honest in future. I fine the prisoner 20.4. for the unlawful possession of the property, and, in default, eight days' imprisonment. The money was paid. XtA.RYLEBONE. DARING ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —Til is day, henry' Battey, a young man well known to the police, was charged before Mr. Long with being drunk and assaulting two police constables. Policeman Young, A 360, stated that about half-past seven o'clock the previous evening he was on duty in Duke-street, Manchester-square, when he was informed that there was a gentleman in front of the bar of the Bunch of Grapes, Duke-street, who was the worse for liquor, and that there were three men by him, who would be robbed by them, as they appeared to be hust ling him. He looked in at the door, upon which the landlord called him in. He said that the prisoner was drunk, and that he wanted some gin, which he (the land lord) laad refused to supply him with, but he would not leave. The gentleman' who resided in Ox ford-square, came out. He was capable of walk ing. Witness spoke to him, and persuaded him to go home. Ho walked as far as Edward street, Portman-square, where he observed the prisoner, who was in the company of another man, go up to him. They turned into Edward's Mew., taking the gentleman with them. He ran up the Mew 4. Witness was about to speak to the gentleman when the prisoner said "What the have you to do with it ?" He then gave wit ness a push. Witness followed the prisoner, who gave him a blow on his body which knocked him down. The prisoner ran away. He was pursued by witness and on his way he fell. Witness seized hold of him. He was very violent. Mr. Long—What occurred after that ? . . Policeman—l was obliged to call for assistance, upon which Brown 299 D came up. lam convinced that it was the intention of the prisoner and his companion to rob the gentleman, and that they would have done au had I nut followed them. Brown corroborated the evidence of Young, and stated that he (Young) had out touched the prisoner befc.re he was struck by him. The prkoner was fined 205., or in default of payment 14 days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The Senatus Academicus of the Edinburgh Univer sity have voted to Dr. Alison the sum of 250/. a-year, as a retiring allowance, from funds at their disposal.

MICHAILL CROTTY.— At the Preston Town-hall, on Wednesday, the charge against the Rev. M. Crotty, for obtaining money on false pretences, was dismissed by the magistrates, on the ground of insufficient evidence to warrant a committal. —Manchester Guardian. _ MINING, COMPANY Or IBELAND.—DUBLIN, Thursday. —At the half-yearly meeting held to•day, a highly satis factory report was read, giving an encouraging account of the copper, lead, and coal mines. After paying for permanent improvement., the profits for the half•year were 11,1161., out of which 4,0001. has been paid for mining and agricultural estates in Wicklow. A divi dend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared on the paid-up capital of the company, being 7s. per share.

Bto 1 agst Wentworth (taken to 2001.) 16 to I agst Coroner (taken) 40 to 1 agst The Prince (taken to 750 THE CHESTER CUP. Great dissatisfaCtion was expressed in con sequence of the delay, since Tuesday, in publishing a complete and official list of the entries. The reporter used every exer tion to obtain them, but could succeed only in procuring from Mr. Tophant, of Chester, the entries which bad been received by him up to six o'clock p.m. on Tuesday last, the day of closing, and which appeared in our paper yesterday. The alleged cause of the delay is, that as entries were made at Chester, York, and London respectively, it was impossible to collect and collate them in time for them to appear in a complete form until after Thursday ; but considering the facilities afforded by railway and tele graphic communication, such an excuse renders the dis appointment felt by the sporting community only the more vexatious. No thanks to the ruling authorities in Burlington street, we are this day enabled to place before our readers a list of nominations for the Chester Cup—the principal Spring handicap of the season. The inconvenience and annoyance arising from the delay in publishing them have been loudly complained of, and the absurdity of the system of appointing different places for the recep tion of entries has been again indicated in such a manner as will doubtless induce clerks of course to adopt some remedy for the evil. Although the Metropolitan Stakes, and other events, closed on Tuesday last, yet no entry had been published up to the time of our going to press, and to maks application for the nominations was use less. All information is most vexatiously withheld until the tardy and uncertain publication of the " official" Calendar. NOMINATIONSFOR THE CHESTER CUP. Run May 7.

The Liverpool wool trade for the past year is thus reviewed by Messrs. Abram , Gartside, and Co. : "During the eventful year just closed th.e wool trade has been characterised by comparative steadiness, an 1 has not experienced the "violent fluctuations to which most other articles of commerce have been subject. With the uncertain feeling produced by war, in additioa to dear food and dear money, the leading features have been great caution and a desire to avoid distant engage ments. The result is that stocks of wool and manufac tured goods are now remarkably light, and the general state of the woollen and worsted trades is in an unde niably sound position. Our exports of the bulk of ma nufactured woollens have declined 18 per cent. in com parison with 1854, but an increase in yarns reduces the deficit nearly one-third ; some branches also of the home trade have been depret3sed and unprofitable during part of this period, but on the whole this department of industry has been better sustained than might have been expected under the circumstances, and any diminutiea on this head has been more than compensated by the immense demand for army clothing, which has absorbed large quantities of middle and low kinds of wool. Con tinental states also have had an additional censamption for a similar purpose, and have largely increased their purchases of foreign and British wool in our own coml. try, besides intercepting part of our usual supplies from the places of growth abroad. While the quantity im ported has decreased the re-exports have' materially in creamed, and though this cannot be accepted as a posi tive test of the subject, because the quantity grown is considerably in excess of that impeded, yet it tends to confirm the results obtained by observation and estima. tion." THE FRENCH SUGAR DUTIES. Yesterday's Men,iteur contains a decree modifying the French tariff as follows : Until otherwise ordered the import duties levied on sugar will be For sugars at and under type : In French vessels from French colonies beyond the Cape of Good Hope, and in America—as at present. f In French vessels from China, Cochin China, the Philippines, and Siam-45fr. the 100 kilogs. f t In French vessels from other countries of India-47fr. the 100 kilogs. ), In French vessels from other' places out of Europe-501r. the 100 kilogs. ff In French vessels from entrepots-60fr. the 100 kilogs.

The present week's arrival of English wheat has been again very moderate, and the receipts put up today were trifling. Although the show of samples was small, the demand was in a sluggish state, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Foreign wheat, the show of which was by no mesas ex tensive, was dull and almost nominal in price. We had a dull sale for barley and malt, as well u float ing cargoes of grain at late rates. Oats met a slow sale, but no change took place in their value. Beans, peas, and flour moved off heavily. The two former articles were easier to purchase. ARAMALS T7llB WEEK. Barley. 1 Malt.
