The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, without any alteration in prices from Fri daT- The sales amounted to 5,000 bales, all of Which were sold to the trade. The Railway Share Market was active at a slight advance on the cur rency of last week. Accounts from the French silk markets state that the sellers of the raw mr,..terial have been obliged at last to give way in their prices, in consequence of the limited requimments of purchasers. At Aubenas the fall is 10 francs per kilogramme on the rates of September last, and raw silk of good quality is now quoted at 92f. 50c. per kilo. The fair of Joyeuse was held towards the close of last month, when there was a great scarcity of buyers„ Which caused a fall in prices equal to that at Aubenas. At Marseilles, the stock of cocoons was estimated at 350,000 kilogrammes. The commercial report from Antwerp, for the Week, ended the Ist inst., states that there have been some fluctuations in the markets for Colonial produce, and the grain market has experienced a further decline in prices. The market for wool was the most animated, on account of some large arrivals from Buenos Ayres, and London ; and the prices of all sorts were well maintained. There were some considerable imports of coffee, but rates were not affected thereby, as the stock on hand were rather low. In sugar the supply scarcely equals the demand, and holders of stocks are ask ing higher prices. The directors of the Crystal Palace Company baying fully met the views of the Committee of the Stock Exchange with regard to the fraudulently.. transferred and r egistered shares, it has been re solved by the latter that dealings in those securities shall be recognised. The subjoined letter, and the committee's resolution, were posted in the House yesterday afternoon 18 56. : " Crstal Palace, ctober 31, "Sir,—ln reply t o you r letter of the O 30th instant, I beg to say that all transfers of shares for which certificates of registration have been issued, as well as those entered on the register of shareholders of the company, will be ad plated and con'sidered valid.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, (signed) " GEORGE GROVE, Secretary. " To George Webb, Esq., Secretary to the Committee, Stock Exchange. 16 St. 1101 20 a Ili a at. 10 at. 10 20 1 10 124 at. 11 , 11 " The committee of the Stock Exchange, considering the above to be satisfactory, so far as relates to transfers of shares in that situation, have resolved unanimously— " ' That the resolution respecting Crystal Palace shares, Passed on the 27th ult., be not confirmed.' "By order of the Committee. " " GEORGE WEBB, Secretary. Monday, 3d Nov., 1856." The large arrival of specie announced yesterday, viz., about 350,0001., hastened to impart increased confidence among those interested in the progress of monetary affairs, because if the James Baines is soon announced with 700,0001., which she is known to have on board, there is a fair prospect of an addition being made to the stock of bullion in the Bank of England, as the purchases of gold on behalf of the Bank of France are less active, and there is an absence of withdrawals from Thread needle-street. This being the fourth of the month, there is increased pressure in the disceunt market, as the amount of bills now due is very considerable. AB parties have been making active preparations during the last few days for. these engagements, it is not expected that more than the usual amount of embarassment will be experienced. St. la al oo it. At. it St. 11 60 a] St. tc St. 1( to 131 20 a 10 al yt. :0 1 The French Funds on theßourse, yesterday, ex perienced very little alteration, but they were a trifle lower. The latest prices of the 3 per Cent. Rentes was 66f. 80c. for money, and 67f. 10c. for account. The liquidation of the account was effected without difficulty, and the public continue their purchases for investment. After the sudden advance in the English Stock Market yesterday, it might have been expected that a reaction would have ensued, and the decline of 4 per cent., which has taken place this morning, is therefore not surprising. Purchasers at lower prices have been tempted to realise their profits, and the market consequently is drooping. At the present moment, however, there is less weakness than at the commencement of business, and the tendency is towards recovery. Consols have been 93 to 93k, and since 921 for mosey and the Gth proximo. They are now 911 93 for transfer, and 93 for December. There have been dealings in New Threes at 921 / 1, and in the Reduced 911 92k, and in the 5 per Cents. at 114. Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. premium, and the Bonds are 98'4 A.

HILL V. HENSITT. Mr. Knowles, Q.C., moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The action was tried at the sittings after last term, before the Lord Chief Baron, and a verdict returned for the plain tiff. The action was for goods Enid and delivered in the shape of clothes. The defendant pleaded that he was not liable, being under age ; to which there was a re plication that the goods were necessaries. It appeared that the defendant was articled to his father, a city attorney, who supplied him with ample credit at a city tailor's, and he was at the time he contracted the plaintiff's debt 13 years of age. The city tailor supplied the eon with goods, who no doubt the father oonsidered would fashion his son according to cut and fit sufficient for an articled clerk in the city. The son, however, appeared to fancy the west-end cut and fashion, and called on the defendant, to whom, it was said on the trial, he was introduced by a banker ; but on cross examination the banker did not sustain his character, but appeared to be a youth about the defendant's own age. On that introduction the goods were supplied, and , great stress was laid, at the time of the trial, on the goods having been sent to the father's residence ; but that he (the learned counsel) contended had nothing to do with the case, which rested on the question whether the defendant was not sufficiently supplied, and that the goods in dispute were not necessary. The learned judge very fairly left the case to the jury, who found for the plaintiff, as juries generally aid in such cases. The plaintiff had the singular good fortune to have four tailors on the jury. Mr. Baron Alderson—Then there was not a full jury! :Laughter.) Mr. Knowles said he did not move on that ground. (Laughter.) No doubt the plaintiff thought he had a very fair jury, and no doubt appreciated our glorious institutions, especially trial by jury, when he got home and congratulated himself on the verdict. (Laughter.) The bill amounted in six months to 32/. 6s. ready money, or 861. 17s. 6d. for credit, and comprised four coats, rather more than four waistcoats, and four pairs of buckskin angola trousers, for which latter he appeared to have a marked predilection. (Laughter.) During this time the City tailor was supplying the defendant with similar articles in the City style, not omitting the buckskin angola trousers. (Laughter.) The Lord Chief Baron, :after consulting his learned brethren, said he thought sufficient had been stated by the learned counsel for the issue of a rule for the reduc tion of the amount of the debt. He thought there were some points in the case that required further considera tion. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ,Before Mr. Justices Creswell, Crowder, and Willes.) PRICKET V. BADGER. Mr. M. Chambers moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside on the ground of misdirection. This action was tried at the last Guildford Assizes, when a verdict of 501. was returned for the plaintiff. The plaintiff is a land and house agent, of Holborn, and the defendant is the Lord of the Manor of Highbury, and employed the plaintiff to sell 14 acres of land in the Seven Sisters Road, for not less than 6501. per acre. The plaintiff found a pur chaser, after which it was discovered there was a dispute about the title, and the purchase was not completed. The action was brought for services rendered. Rule granted. IN RE COLLOP. Mr. Bernard moved for a rule to enable a married woman to dispose of her property. It appeared that she was married in 1829, but owing to the dissipated habits of her husband was separated from him in 1855, and since that he had been convicted of felony at Chelms- ford, and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, and she bad not seen or heard of him since. 92 94 I 1 Rule granted. BAIL COURT. ;Before Mr. Justice Crompton and a Common Jury.) AN ECCENTRIC LANDLORD-TANNER V. RARFORD. This was an action for the recovery of rent for the use and occupation of a house. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff is the son of a person who possessed duiing his lifetime a considerable quantity cf house pro perty in the neighbourhood of London, and who was also a very eccentric person, and, amongst other eccen tricities, he possessed the very uncommon one of never making his tenants pay up their rent, and from careless ness or a mistaken notion of kindness he allowed his house property to get into arrears to the extent of a 1,0001. a-year. Tho house in question is situated in Whitechapel, and was held by the plaintiff's father, by lease from St. Thomas's Hospital. The first lease was granted in 1814, ,for 28 years, the defendant shortly after becoming tenant of the plaintiff's father, continuing in possession up to the present time. In 1846 the plaintiff's father had a new lease granted him for a period of 30 years, and in consequence of his not keeping up the insurance according to the terms of the deed, as it was alleged by the trustees of St. Thomas's Hospital, NOV.EMBER 4 1856 LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. (Before the Vics-Chancellor Kindersley.) Mr. Rolt, with whom were Mr. J. Brown and Mr. Gifford, moved, this morning, to dissolve the injunction which had been granted by his honour to restrain Mr. C. Lee, the official assignee of the bank in bank ruptcy, and Mr. J. Johnstone, the bankruptcy mes senger, and their respective solicitors and agents from in any manner acting upon an order of the Court of Bankruptcy in this matter, dated the 10th of October, or disturbing Mr. Harding, the official manager ap pointed by the Court of Chancery, in his possession of the estate of the bank. The learned counsel also showed cause against the rule nisi which had been granted by the Vice-Chancellor for the committal of Mr. Lee and Mr. Johnstone for a contempt of court, on the ground of their having interfered with Mr. Harding in his possession of the pro perty of th.e bank, and he also moved that Mr. Harding, the official manager, might be ordered forthwith to hand over to Mr. Lee, the official assignee, all monies and securities in his posses sion, and to do all acts necessary to put Mr. Lee into complete possession of the estate and effects of the bank. With regard to the alleged contempt, the learned counsel stated that the bankruptcy messenger retired from the bank premises upon the order of Mr. Harding, but that shortly afterwards, in consequence of an ar rangement between Mr. Harding and the Messrs. Link later, the solicitors to the bankruptcy proceedings, the bankruptcy messenger returned to the premises, it being, however, understood that he should not in any manner interfere with Mr. Harding's possession, until the ques tion whether Chancery proceedings could go on against the bank simultaneously with the proceedings in bank ruptcy. No contempt had ever been committed, or was in tended to be committed by any person connected with this case of the order of the Court of Chancery, and it would seem that the bill to restrain the official assignee and the bankruptcy messenger from interfering with Mr. Harding's possession, and to commit them for contempt of Court for having so interfered, was simply to obtain costs. With respect to the question whether the bank could be proceeded against simultaneously in the Court of Chancery and the Court of Bankruptcy, the learned Counsel referred to the last act of Parliament relating to the winding up of joint-stock companies, and contended that it was manifest, from the language of the act, that it was not its effect, neither was it the intention of its framers, to prevent the two proceedings going on together in the two Courts. The act itself, in fact, ex pressly mentions that, upon the consent of the official assignee in bankruptcy of a joint-stock com pany, unable to meet its engagements, proceedings might be instituted in Chancery for the purpose of more effectually winding up its affairs. He contended that the legal estate of the bankrupt was at this moment in vested in the official assignee in bankruptcy, and that by a title anterior to that of Mr. Harding, inasmuch as the adjudication in bankruptcy related back to an act of bankruptcy which was committed by the bank on a day previous to that on which Mr. Harding was appointed official manager by the Court of Chancery, and that without his authority no action at law could be insti tuted against any of the debtors of the bank for the re covery of money due to the bank ; that the proceedings in bankruptcy would speedily and cheaply divide the assets amongst the creditors ; whereas the case would be different if the proceedings were to be exclusively in the Court of Chancery, and that it was the intention of the Legislature in such cases as these to permit the creditors to institute proceedings in bankruptcy, and leave the shareholders to adjust the claims between each other in the Court of Chancery. The motion of Mr. Rolt is opposed on behalf of Mr. Harding, the official manager, appointed by the Vice- Chancellor, by Mr. Glasse, and Mr. Lewis. The arguments are expected to occupy the whole of to-day and to-morrow. r law proceedings were coi nmenced, but ultimately com promised, and on 7th .3 . 1 sue, 1849, another lease was granted to him for 28 ye, , ars, to commence from the previous Christmas, and tbat was the lease under which the present plaintiff ,b(sld the property. On the olio wing year the plaintin ctaher executed a deed of gift in favour of the plaintiff, and in 1852 he died, since which time the plaintiff , had held the propertY. The plaintiff knowing the ecces itricities of his father declined during his lifetime pressi,ng the defendant, who bad on one occasion been distrafned on, but on his going to the father and putting on a long face was relieved from the pressure, and all went well. On the death of the father the plaintiff went to the defendant and informed him of it, and gave bciro notice to pay rent to him. The defendatt bad omitted to do so, and the plaintiff having been ill, had not been abide to attend to his business, and the arrears bad accordingly arisen. The action was to recover the bulance of four years' ' rent, at 241. per annum. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN TIIE UNITED STATES. 1 The Free-soil journals of New York no longer di tute the decided victory of the Democrats in the Pennsylvanian election. The Tribune says : The last report from Pennsylvania leaves no doubt of a Buchanan majority at the State election. The State ticket of that party is chosen by some 5,000 majority in between 400,000 and 500,000 votes. That majority can be overcome at the Presidential election just at hand. We do not say that it will be. Thousands of votes were polled illegally by the winning party. They may or may not be able to repeat the operation. On the other hand, there are thousands of Quakers and other quiet citizens who will vote for President who did not vote at the State election. On at least two former occasions the pins to our side between the State and the Presidential election were amply large enough to secure us a triumph now. It may be so again. The New Tork Daily Times learns, from very good authority, that the Quakers took no part in the late election, and did not go to the polls at all. There can not be less than 20,000 of them who will vote for Fre mont in November. There are at least as many Ger mans, whom it was unreasonable to expect to vote the American ticket, which was the only one then in nomi nation, but three-fourths of wham will vote against the extension of slavery, and in favour of Fremont. The same journal expresses its belief that with a vigorous and energetic personal canvas of the whole State, the Penn sylvanian vote for Fremont may be secured by 15,000 majority. The fact is, Pennsylvania has never voted alike at her State elections and in the presidential con tests immediately succeeding. In 1840 she elected the democratic State ticket at the October election by a majority of several thousand ; yet in November following she gave Harrison her electoral vote. In 1848 sbe ' elected a whig governor by less than a thousand ; in ' November she gave Taylor over 13,000 majority. It is I calculated that Fremont can afford to lose Indiana, New Jersey, and California, if he carries Pennsylvania. But what his chances are of carrying either of these three States it is not easy now to say. The New York Herald, however, refuses these conso lations, and admits that the victory of Buchanan and a democratic majority in Congress sweep at once to the winds and to oblivion all the efforts of the North in re ference to slavery, and all their aims with regard to its non-extension. It will confirm and inaugurate the doc trines of the Ostend manifesto, and proclaim to the world that the Government of the United States, with the full and deliberate sanction of the people, was pre pared to wrest Cuba from its rightful owners." (From the New York Journal of Commerce.) In the 14 States first mentioned in the annexed , schedule elections have be en h e ld w ithi n th e l ast three [ months, which have result e d, p o liti ca ll y, as here ' re corded. True, it does not certainly follow that they will vote the same way at the Presidential election, though 'there is not one of them which we think is less likely to go Democratic at the Presidential election than it was at the State election. The next 11 States we regard as nearly certain to vote as they are here classified. Electoral Votes. Democratic) Opposition. 6 ' States. Missouri lowa Arkansas North Carolina Kentucky Texas Vermont 0 Maine 0 Delaware (Inspectors) 3 Florida South Carolina Pennsylvania .. Ohio 0 Indiana 14 States 93 Virginia Georgia Alabama 9 Mississippi Louisana 6 California Illinois ll New Jersey 7 Tennessee Massachusetts. 0 Rhode Island Total in 25 States... 174 ... 57 The following States may be classed as doubtful, viz. New Hampshire Connecticut New York Michigan Wisconsin Maryland 8 35 Although we think Buchanan has an even chance in the six last-mentioned States in the aggregate, yet were they all to go for Fremont, they would swell his number of electoral votes only to 122, which is 27 less than the number necessary to elect him. On the other hand, Mr. Buchanan has 174 electoral votes, or 25 more than the number necessary to elect him, without counting any of the 65 doubtful votes. But giving him half of them, which is fair, he would have a total of 2064, or 67i more than the number necessary to elect him. The .only thing which can endanger the result, as it seems to us, is a feeling of security on the part of the Buchanan men, which shall cause them to relax their efforts. This idea must not be tolerated for a moment. There are only two weeks before the election, and it would be madness, in the midst of the battle, to rest on the advantages already gained. No ; while the victory is within their reach, it is only to be gained by the most strenuous efforts. Don't let them be caught napping. SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW OF THE TAY ON LOBOS ISLAND. The following is a letter written at St. Thomas by one of the wrecked, and gives some particulars of the sufferings of the crew on Lobos Island : " The Tay struck on Cape Roxo, in the Gulf of Mexico, at 5 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29. The scene on board was most awful. The monster steamer rolled about as if in its last agony—the captain cool and collected. All the boats, lowered and manned, stood off at a short distance. Hideous sharks surrounded us, and seemed to mark us for their prey. Between the raging seas there was a sort of lull, by w hi c h t h e b oats could communicate with the ship. The surf was dreadful to look at. If it had been rough weather not a soul would have been alive half an hour after the ship struck. As soon as possible one of the lifeboats was despatched to Tampico, i n c h arge of the mail agent, with the mails and passenger?, to obtain assistance. The only things that could be got from the ship for the officers and crew, were some biscuit, salt pork, a few live fowls and turkeys, and about five or six gallons of water. The captain's gig was loaded with some hams, candles, jams, jellies, the captain's private goods and clothes, some of the officers' private clothes, some valuables, and three men. The gig drifted round to the stern of the Tay, and after being knocked about like a shuttlecock she was thrown bottom upwards. Two of the men were dragged below by sharks, and never appeared afterwards. The other made his ap pearance, resting on. three oars which he had grasped. He truly represented a stron g man in agony. He battled with the raging surf, and got as h ore saf6y, although sharks were all around lam. At 11 a.m. the ship was deserted, the captain being th e l ast to leave. 99 persons were now cast adrift, with scarcely provision s enough for a single meal. It was imposeabl e to land anywhere near Cape Roxo, because of the violence of the surf. At intervals a low small island could be discerned several miles distant, and this was our only hope of safety. The captain declared that it was the island of Lobos, and probably water would be found there. He recommended that all the boats should go for that island, and on being importuned he recommended all to trust in God, and take care of their lives. At one p.m. the chief officer led the way in his boat to the island, the captain in the dingy bringing up the rear. We reached the island soon after 4 p.m., but found the surf rolling mountains high, forming apparently an im pregnable wall around it. We waited for the captain, to know what should be done. Captain Strutt examined various parts of the island, and at length he saw what he considered an opening, and he entered it, the dingy being light, and landed. He was t o wave a h an dk erchief close by . a hut seen on the island if we were to follow. No handkerchief waved. At length the captain came off again. He said the loaded boats could not get in ; the dingy must take in a few at a time. By this means we all landed, after great difficulties. It was a sandy beach studded with rocks. A man with a boat-hook stood on the bow of the dingy, and guided her in through an avenue of rocks. Before everything was landed and the boats made fast it was nearly dark. All were pale, hag gard, and tired. All hands were, however, piped, and Captain Strutt, with a voice choked with emotion, offered thanks to Almighty God for our great deliverance. Every one was in tears. Nothing could be more solemn or affecting than this scene. The island on which we were was about three miles in circumference. W i e wan dered about, and f oun d b eneat h two fi ne trees iron fun nels driven into two wells, to prevent the sand from getting into the water. The wells did not seem to pro mise a very liberal supply of water. There were other signs of visitors having been on the island. After a small piece of biscuit, a little grog, and a scrap of pork, had been given to every one, we prepared for rest. Every one wandered about seeking at every bush a shelt e r for the night. A lighted lamp was hung up in a tree ; Many a strong iron-looking man was subdued that 'sight, and went secretly on his knees imploring eraccour from Heaven. We all r es t e d on t h e ground wi:ch nothing over sv us but our day cloth es . Th e i sland Was brilliant with fire flies, and snakes and lizards cra', f l e d over us . Th e rolling sea, beatin g an d expendine4. itself in angry surges on the tiny spot on which we were resting, was thun dering all night i n our ears. Sunday morning arrived. It was feared that th e welt s would be dry after we had emptied them of the s',„„di quantity of water found in them, but this was r At th e case, f or soon a f terwards the springs filled site wells again. All bands were piped again, and t., prayers w ere rea d. A s li g ht b rea k. fast of biscui and pork or cheese was served out. The eiPtair, asked for volunteers to visit the wreck, to see what could be saved from her. Numbers of men volu9t'aered to go, and they started for the wreck, but. con l 4 not approach it, the sea had so increased in vio. knee. Men were occapied on our solitary island in shooting sea gulls and pelicans, which abound there, and we fed on the birds. After prayers in the evening we laid down again with heavy hearts. Tormented with hideous land crabs, which caused horrible disgust as they crawled over us. ~Monday morning rose to no better ' prospects. The captain and volunteers again visited the wreck. No better lack this time. There was no ap proaching the wreck, Hunted for turtle eggs, and found quantities. Although plenty of turtle were there, they could not be caught. Passed another miserable day ; half starved, and no good prospects. The captain read prayers, and all laid down to try to find rest for both body and mind, for the third night. Tuesday morning, after prayers and breakfast, a party went again to the wreck, and this time succeeded in getting -on board, and took away from her several sheep and fowls that were nearly dead. On hearing of this success, two more boats went off directly, and got stew pane, lamps, blankets, and a few beds, pillows, &c. Found the poor cow alive, but much exhausted. Could not get her out then, for the weather was threatening, and the captain made us all leave for our solitary home. In the course w o of t s h s e e ednayboe a u r r i n m g o u d r o n w i n n g u w p . 0 1 n s t u u s r n t i i s ts j a o s y — a a i‘ s i t e e x a i m ea e n r war steamer sent from Tampico to our relief. We got all on board of her that day, and went and saved the poor cow. The captain of the Mexican war steamer would not delay any time, for if bad weather had come on it would not have been safe there. We got everything off our island by Tuesday night, and were comfortable on board the war steamer. Our minds were now more at ease; for the worst had passed. On Wednesday night we reached Tampico. Here we were a month waiting for the Conway to take us to St. Thomas, where we should be shipped for England. What with anxiety, fatigue, exposure, and bad living, half of the offi cers and crew were laid up with ague and fever at Tam pico. We were placed in a house which was infested with centipedes, scorpions, emmets, and mosquitoes, which nearly drove every one mad. Those who were well enough went up Tampico river shooting alligators with some Americans. At length our deliverance came. The chief portion of the officers and crew were brought off in the Conway. At Havannah a number of the crew went into the American merchant service. They obtained employment easily, because sailors were wanted, and they were preferred because they had excited interest on account of the sufferings they bad undergone. At St. Thomas a number of the crew were engaged, so that only the officers and about 35 of the crew will go home to England. Many of the men engaged at St. Thomas went down to the Spanish main. LORD PALMERSTON'S VIM TO MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, MONDAY. °teat interest is felt here in the visit of the Premier, who has never before visited Manchester. A special meeting of the City Council was held• this morning, at the Town hall, to agree t;) an address to be presented to his lordship. The Mayor (Mr. Jas. Watts) presided, and there was a full attendance of aldermen and councillors. Mr. Alderman NEILD, in moving the adoption of the following address, said his lordship was fully entitled to their highest esteem and consideration ; and he had no doubt the Council would have equal pleasure with him self in awarding to his lordship any honour that they could bestow. The Town Clerk then read the address, as follows : " TO THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, K.G,, M.P. "We, the mayor, aldermen, and councillors of the city of Manchester, beg to offer to your lordship, on this your first visit, a most respectful and cordial welcome. We rejoice in the opportunity thus afforded to us to de clare the high estimation in which we hold the distin guished services which you have rendered to your coun try by the great ability with which you have discharged, through a long, eventful, and laborious public life the important duties of the various offices in the Government which nave been entrusted to you. We especially acknow ledge our obligation to your lordship for undertaking in a crisis of great difficulty the highest and most respon sible office in the State, and for administering the affairs of the nation in that capacity as to bring the war, in which this country was unfortunately, though justly and unavoidably, engaged, to a successful issue. " We rejoice, too, in the presence of your lordship among us, because we feel that the intercourse and com munication of eminent statesmen with the people of the manufacturing districts are calculated to produce in their minds a truer knowledge of the vast interests with which those districts are identified than they can otherwise obtain, while at the same time they are calculated to establish a mutual sympathy between them and the com munity at large which cannot fail to be socially and politically beneficial. " As the municipal representatives of this city we refer with particular interest to the important measures which, under the sanction and advice of your lordship, were recommended to the Legislature in her most gra cious Majesty's Speech from the Throne at the com mencement of the late cession ; and we confidently trust that her Majesty's Government will press forward with earnestness and determination those measures which are necessary for the relief of shipping from the taxation to which it is at present wrongfully subjected, and thus relieve the trade and commerce of the country from im posts so impolitic and unjust. " We fervently hope that among the blessings of the peace which, by the instrumentality of your lordship's administration, has now happily been restored, will be the devotion of your Icrdship'a efforts, and those of your colleagues, to such objects of general improvement as may remove existing grievances and increase the pros perity and contentment of all classes of the community; and respectfully venture, in reference to the future of policy of yo ur l or d s hi p ' s a d m i n i strat i on , t o make use the emph a ti c language once addressed by your lordship to the Ministers of b the day, and express a hope 'that the Government will found their claim to the approbation of the people by ma i n t a ining, not in this country alone, but everywh ere w h e re their measures mayextend ascendancy of liberal, wise, just, and enlightened plea.'

It was then arranged that the address should be pre. sented to his lordship at the Town-hall on Thursday next. LITERATURE. Little Dorrit. No. XII. By Charles Dickens. The Dorrits are still upon their Italian travels —a-pleasuring. The principal portion of the No •'ember number for 1856 (No. xii.) is occupied by a circumstantial account of their doings in the pa laces and among the grandees of Venice. Mr. Dorrit being " much among Counts and Mar quises." Mr. Tinkler, his valet, being in attend ance. Mrs. General being accessible at stab. 1 times to the valet, and anybody else connected with the great House of Dorrit, seated in one of the Venetian palace-halls, with her feet on " a little square of carpet, so extremely diminutive in re ference to the size of her stone and marble floor, that she looked as if she might have had it spread for the trying on of a ready-made pair of shoes ; or as if she had come into possession of the en chanted piece of carpet, bought for forty pieces by one of the three princes in the Arabian Nights, and had that moment been transported on it, at a wish, into a palatial saloon with which tip had no connection." Gondolas and gondoliers attached to the establishment of the Dorrit Family, ever swinging drowsily in a little forest of piles in the grand canal hard by their temporary residence— prepared at any moment to glide away over the surface of the silent highways of the Fairy City of the Adriatic at the behest or for the behoof, at the beck and at the bidding, of Mr. Dorrit, late of the Marshalsea—of Edward Dorrit, Esquire, ex- Tip of the London billiard-rooms and stable-yards —of Frederick Dorrit, Esq., until very recently of the suburban clarionet—of Miss Dorrit, the ex. danseuse, and of dear little Amy Dorrit—Little Dorrit, in faet,—the ex-milliner. Besides the Dorrits, we are introduced again at Venice to the Gowans—and between these two groups of the Gowans and the Dorrits there flutter out upon our view, every now and then, the wonderfully con trasting characters of Sparkler the noodle, and Blandois of Paris, otherwise Rigaud, the mur derer ! "Something Wrong Somewhere " (ch. v.) reveals to us little Amy placed at a disadvantage by all her relations with the single exception of old Uncle Frederick. A comatose old gentle.. man, who wakes up nobly in her defence one fine morning at breakfast. Striking the table with a great blow (directly she has left the room), and protesting against her disparage ment solemnly, " in the face of God," as against an act of evil pride and heinous ingratitude. Speak ing thus, gesticulating thus, denouncing thus the miserable family pretensions—(writes our author) —" As his hand went up above his head and came down on the table, it might have been a blacksmith's." Adding—" After a moment's silence it had relaxed into its usual weak condition." " Something Right Somewhere" is scarcely so comprehensible a title to the next chapter (vi.)—revealing to the reader, as it does, first of all,Sparkler fairly brought to the feet of Miss Fanny—and secondly, Blandois of Paris and Lion, "the objectionable dog," sud denly at loggerheads—" Instinct," in the latter instance, proving, as we are told, " stronger than Training." Lion, in fact, attempts to tear the unknown murderer in pieces—only to be himself murdered, poisoned, by the treacherous white hand! " Mostly, Prunes and Prism" is the heading of the other chapter (vii.), completing the present number (xii.) of " Little Dorrit"—a wholly bewildering phrase, of course, to any and every one who has not previously had his laugh out in an earlier page (356), over Mrs. General's correction of Little Dorrit's Marshalsea vulgarism in calling her Father —" Father." "Papa is a. preferable mode of address," observed Mrs. General. " Father is rather vulgar, my dear. The word Papa, besides, gives a pretty form to the lips. Papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes, and prism, are all very good words for the lips ; especially prunes and prism. You will find it serviceable, in the formation of a de meanour, if you sometimes say to yourself in company _ . • —on entering a room, for instance—Papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism, prunes and prism." Wherefore, "Mostly, Prunes and Prism," as the title of chapter seven, merely implies by the suggestion of a ludicrous inference, the develop ment of a " surface" in Amy's regard, under the varnishing influence of Mrs. General, seated upon her elevated coach-box, keeping the proprieties well together ! Towards the close of the number the scene is changed from Venice to Rome—from Tenice, with its "prevdiling odor of bilge water and an ebb-tide on a weedy shore," to Rome, "a city, where everything seemed to be trying to stand still for ever on the ruins of something else!" An ticipations are held out to us, by the way, of two very astounding event s i n th e istory of the Dorrits —the probable marriage of old Mr. Dorrit and Mrs. General, of the Varnish and the Proprieties, and the Prunes and Prism surfacing !—and the possible absorption, a little later on, of th e sud denly acquir e d wealth of the family, in—what one of Mr. Merdle's, the Great Merdle's the Mer dle's gigantic speculations. We shall see. The former of these two astounding turns of the wheel is plainly spoken of—the latter is merely vaguely, dimly, hinted at ! Who knows—perhaps the Dorrits, after all, may sett. down again in their old quarters at the Marshalsea. Mr. Arle. 2 Tole. Hurst and Blackett. This tale is apparently the work of a young writer, one who has insufficiently studied the art of novel writing, and who, though not devoid of ability, is wanting in the tact and discretion ac quired by experience. The skill with which a higher order of novelists unravel their plots, and by turns thrill the reader with sympathy, or excite his eager interest by painting faithfully the real sufferings of life under the garb of fiction, or by inter weaving with their tale some of those startling events that sometimes prove that "truth is stranger than fiction," is wanting here. The story is not without interest, nor the, characters without indi viduality, but they are sometimes more eccentric than attractive. Two children who are introduced are, perhaps, the least pleasing persons in the book. One of them is of a Spanish family, and, being a lonely orphan, it is natural that she should be pe culiar and unchildlike. But the other, a little brother of the heroine, is without such excuse. The heroine is the most attractive person, the hero being, of course, Mr. Arle. She is the daughter of Mr. Stanton, a cleq,iyrna,n, who leaves the church from conscientious scruples. Hilda Stanton feels herself bound to break off her engagement with the heir of the neighbouring manor, owing to the great change in their worldly position. Her lover i s a weak and vacillating individual, whose family strongly urge him to agree in her decision. The engagement is, however, renewed conditionally ; but before the end of the time of probation the gentleman meets an heiress of great attractions, and renounces his former attachment. Mr. Stan ton and his son and daughter remove to a quiet country spot, where Mr. Arlo appears on the scene. The acquaintance between him and Hilda is very much in the style of those quarrelling lovers who have lately been the fashion. Mr. Arle has also met with a disappointment from the falsehood of his betrothed, and finds in Hilda a more worthy object of affection. He manifests it in a very eccentric way, however, and as Hilda often resents his lec tures and satires their acquaintance is anything but harmonious. He proves himself a true friend to them notwithstanding, and on her father's pre carious health rendering a warmer climate neces sary he in v it es hi m to accompany Min Sp ain.
