ONEY MARKET AND Co 1 1 .1;`,11.. - ;11 VIA f:LITELLIGEtcri.(c CITY, Two , ;011,00, The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was much excited through the advices per the Canada, and prices were rather higher. The sales were 30. ( r, - 0 bales-1,700 on speculation and 3,000 fo-:. export. The Railway Share Market was active, at an ad vance on Saturday's rate. Accounts from Frall:::e relative to the agricul tural situation of the country and the state of the grain markets are of a more favourable character. The downward movement in prices is not rapid, but it is quiet and regular, and the accounts from the departments report a gradual and steady in crease in the supplies of wheat at the depots, so that it is expected by ITovember they will be amply provisioned. The urgent labours of the farmers at this season of the year have been ter minated earlier than last autumn ; and the scarcity of money caused many to sell at lower rates than the market prices. The advices from Vienna state that the panic Which had been produced on the Bourse at the first news of the probability of France and England Withdrawing their envoys at Naples, and the pre paration made for the departure of the allied squad rons, had subsided, and stocks, which had declined in consequence, were recovering. The scarcity of specie, however, continues, and the premium on the precious metals in exchange for bank notes had risen to 8 per cent. ; and it is expected that if the currency is not relieved shortly by a supply of specie this will advance to 10 per cent. The intelligence from Paris relative to the mono. tary crisis continues of a rather contradictory cha racter, but it is evident that an improved feeling prevails with regard to the future. It is supposed that purchases of gold will still be effected, and it is to be hoped, therefore, that our supplies from Australia and the United States will be more than sufficient for the requirements of the Bank of 2 France. 1 In Lombard-street and at the Bank of England there is an active demand for discount accommo dation, which is not obtainable even on the best descriptions of paper under the official minimum. The supply of capital is sufficiently ample, however, for commercial purposes, and, as trade is mo derately active, this is a satisfactory fea ture. There can be no doubt that the value °f money will be maintained for some time, although the Directors may soon be enabled to re sume their advances on Stock. There was some expectation that this important step would be adopted to-day, but the period has not yet arrived for such a concession, and the Directors made no alteration in their restrictive policy. The market for English Stocks opened with firmness at yesterday's latest quotations, but upon an offer of 10,0001., by an influential operator, Prices became rather weaker, and there has since been no recovery. The transactions, both real a nd Speculative, have not been very numerous, and t he uncertainty prevailing as to the probable course of events checks an extension of speculative de aling. Consols for money have been 91i to 92, and 91.1 to 924. For account the bargains have be en at 924 4, and 92k sellers. They are now 914 and 91i 92 respectively. The New Three per C ents. are 911 1, the Reduced 90/ to 91k, a nd the Long Annuities 2 13-16ths. Bank stock is 2101 to 213, and East India Stock 228. -, chequer Bills remain at 3s. to 6s. premium. For Foreign Securities there has been a very dull market, except for Turkish 6 per Cents., in which business has continued active, at a decline, owing t ° the probability of a fresh Turkish loan. These bonds have been 89k 4, and 89 4 90. The 4 per Cents. are about 994 1. Spanish Threes rule heavy at 41 i, and the New Deferred at 231. Russian 5 Per Cents. are marked 108, and Sardinian 881. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i 71 ; Mexi can, 211 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 74 76 ; ditto 3 1 Per Cents., 53 55 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 108 ; ditto 41 per tints. , 95 97 ; Spanish 3 por Cent s ., 414 424 ; ditto -liefer re, 23k 24; ditto Certificat es , 44 51 ; di tto Passive, 64 I. The business transacted in the Railway Share Market has been to a fair extent, and rather large transactions have been recorded in Brighton, and _ Lancashire and Yorkshire. Caledonian, Brighton, North-Western, North British and North Eastern, Berwick, showed an advance of 1 to 4- per cent., While Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South Eastern have exhibited a like decline. East India, Great Western of Canada have improved about 1. Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Indian Peninsula and Namur and Liege are firmer. Per nambuco are quoted N, and Scinde 71. Very few transactions are reported in Joint stock Bank Shares, and prices are without material alteration. London Chartered of Australia im- Proved to 194, London and Westminster are 46 4 to 464, and South Australia 34. Miscellaneous Shares are neglected. Canada Government 6 per Cents. brought 1121 ; North of Europe Steam, 154 ; and Scottish Australian In 'vestment 14. B aITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONB O'CLOLIC ( Troia the Official List.) Bnsin.. , done.

THE LATE DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL SURREY GARDENS ' ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.—Tats DAY. The excitement in the neighbourhood of the Royal Surrey Gardens in consequence of the late melancholy and fatal accident has scarcely abated anything. The wicident is still the subject of general conversation, and the hope that a searching investigation will take place as to its origin, and if possible lead to the punish. rnent of the offenders, pervades all classes. Anxious inquiries are also made after the sufferers, and each day adds to the number of those already known. One poor woman, whose name is unknown, but is supposed to reside in Fenchurch-street, and was severely injured at the time, there is too much reason to fear has since died from the injuries she received. The reckless manner in which many escaped from the windows on to the balcony in front of the ornamental water is almost incredible, and it is a miracle that more serious injury and death did not result from it. Amongst others already published we have heard of that of a re spec•able female who, in escaping by what appeared to her at the ti me th e most ready means , i n fli c t e d a fright ful wound on h er f ace, completely l ay i ng open the bone a considerable length. She was found by Mr. Superin• tendent Lund in an exhausted state, the blood streaming copiously from her face, and he immediately conveyed her to the office of Mr. Tyler, the manager of the grounds, close by, where a surgeon was in attendance, who sewed up the wound, and the unfortunate female was shortly after able to make her way home, but in the consternation that prevailed she left without leaving her name or address. It will be recollected that amongst the deaths was VIA of a little boy, who accompanied his father to the Gardens. The grief and agony of the parent at the sudden bereavement of his child was, as was natural ander the circumstances, the most poignant and heart rending, and arrested the attention of numbers whilst seeking safety in flight, but as yet no intelligence has been received at the station of his name and address. The little girl, stated in our morning contemporaries as highly respectably dressed, and said to have received severe injuries and was unable to give her name at the time, or the address of her patents, has, since her recep tion in Guy's Hospital, given her name as Margaret Reston, of Hoxton. She states that ehe went to the Hall in company with her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Mead, of 7, Love-lane, Stockwell, who, it will be recollected, is one of the unfortunate individuals who lost her life. The poor little child is only suffering, we are happy to state, from a slight scalp wound and fright. Several of the articles of dress torn from the wearers in the general rush to escape, and after wards found strewed about on the floor of the hall, have been identified by the losers and restored to them. The public need be under no apprehension of a similar gathering at the gardens on Sunday next. Mr. Spurgeon will not, it is feared, be in a state to preach there or any other place on Sunday next ; and, if he be sufficiently. recovered from the mental excitement which he is at present labouring under from this untoward circum stance, he certainly will not be at the gardens. THE INQUEST. • This afternoon an inquest was opened by Mr. Carter, the coroner of the district, and a respectable jury, taken from the most respectable inhabitants of the neighbour. hood, at the Board-room of the Newington Workhouse. The room was densely crowded during the afternoon, and the workhouse was surrounded during the whole of the time by a dense crowd of persons, whom the fright ful nature of the accident had drawn to the spot. After hearing evidence, which went only to the identi fication of the bodies, the inquiry was adjourned. LLOYD'S SDIPPING.--criii s Day.)

NORTH AUSTRALIAN EXPEDITIO N. —Information has jest reached this country irons the North Australian Expedition, under Mr. Surveyor Gregory, which, it will be reinemberel, having been organised by the Royal Geographical Society, was undertaken by the Colonial office. for Moreton Bay, 'eVictoria Riser. thencet expedition the m started3utli of f r o s n t a 0 Sydney ke On landing, the party were so unfortu na t e as to l ose 14 and il e o horses and 150 sheep. Nothing daunted, however, a camp was established on the Victoria river, and in the beginning of January Mr. Gregory left with a party of nine officers and men to ascend the river, and ulti mately arrived at its sources on S an d stone Ranges, 1,400 feet above the level of the tea, These ranges sun E. and W., so that the opposite fall of water is coma quentiy to the tooth. Crossing this water parting, ,Mr. Gregory struck on a creek that led hi m 300 fur ther, west of south to latitude 20 deg. 15 min. 0 sec. S., and long. 127 deg. 45 min., where ho discovered a salt lake iu a sandy desert, so correctly prognostitilited by our great Australian explorer, Capt. Sturt. From this point the party retraced their steps in safety, and Mr. Gregory was preparing for a second start from his depot across the country to the east, so far as the Albert river, where he expects to find more fertile land. Mr. Gregory had, during the time of the expedition gained the full confidence of those employed unde r him, and the party bad throughout been on the best terms with the natives they had met with. The details of the expe dition, and the numerous observations made by the scien tisc gentlemen attached to it, may be shortly expected: UNITY GENERAL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION. MEETING. - (THIS DAY.) within the last few minutes to distract the attention of the shareholders from the subject matter for which they had met. He had to inform the shareholders that from what had taken place within the last few days he begged to say, on his own part, and also on the part of the whole board of directors, that if Mr. Baylis was elected manager this afternoon, they could not sit another day at the board. He attributed the absence of Mr. Baylis to the fact that it was occasioned by the directors refusing to agree to the report which he (Mr. Baylis) had drawn up, and which they, as directors, did not feel they would be jus tified in adopting. The directors, of course, would be responsible for the report to be presented, and he felt it was only right that the shareholders should know that the report that was submitted to them to-day, was that of the directors, perfectly independent of Mr. Baylis. The speaker then proceeded at great length to comment on the circular issued by Mr. Baylis, which he characterized as unfair, and in many respects untrue. Among other remarks, the speaker said the manager (Mr Baylis) bad taken advantage of his position to have clauses placed on the back of a loan policy in which he was interested, which was irregular and at variance with the objects of the association. (This remark was received with marks of disapproba tion.) In conclusion, Mr. Jackson declared that, in the event of Mr. Baylis being returned manager, nothing ou earth would induce them to sit at the board witil him, and he thought that, as Mr. Baylis had withdrawn from all interference in the management of the Unity Bank, he ought also to withdraw from the Unity Life Association. He begged to move the adoption of the report that bad been read by the Secretary. Previous to the motion being adopted, Mr. PULLEN, the accountant, read a long statement of the financial . . position of the society, the result of an official inquiry which had taken place with respect to the funds of the association. At the conclusion of the reading of the document, The CHAIRMAN having put the adoption of the report o the meeting, Mr. HOPWOOD, one of the auditors, drew attention to several itemb in the balance sheet. Re thought that a greater loss than ought to have occurred had taken place on certain policies, especially from diseased lungs, which, be thought, was so easily distinguishable. The law charges of 9621., he thought, was excessive, as they had bad no law suits. He hoped that a greal deal of pruning in the expenses of the company would take place. (Heat, hear.) ,We shall give the conclusion in our late edition.] THE NEAPOLITAN QUESTION. The principal Paris correspondent of the Presse Beige, who, up to the recent change in proprietor ship of the Independance of Brussels, had fulfilled the same function in the latter journal, and whose communications, distingushed by the letter Y, often contained sound and reliable information, now offers the following review of the Neapolitan question : - "It is impossible not to remark the importance of the direct communication made by the Emperor of Russia to the King of Naples. The advice given by the Emperor Alexander to the King, to submit the sett!e menZ; of the existing question to the wisdom and equity of the Emperor Napoleon, has not alone for object to free the Neapolitan question from all possibility of a serious conflict ; it has a more general and a more ele vated character. It displays the sentiments entertained by the Emperor Alexander for the Emperor Napoleon, the confidence which is accorded to the sovereign of France, and the great authority obtained by him in Europe since the conclusion of the treaty of Paris. With respect to the Neapolitan question itself, I must contra dict several rumours which have been propagated within the last few dap., and which tend to exaggerate its gravity. An ultimatum addressed by France and England to the King of Naples has been spoken of. Nothing in the communications of the Western Powers has had in tho slightest degree the character of an ultimatum, nor even a comminatory form. Likewise, a circular of Count Walewmki, • in rep'y to that of the Prince Gortschakoff, has been spoken of. This would lead to the conclusion that an animated correspondence has commenced. Count Wa lowski may certainly have written to certain represer,- tatives of France in foreign courts on the subject of the Russian circular, aid may have conveyed to them the ulterior communication received by him from St. Peters burg, in order that they might be cognisant of the in tentions of the Russian Cabinet, as likewise of the man ner in which these intentions have been appreciated by the French Government ; and that they might be ac quainted with the relations which exist between the two Cabinets. But the Foreign Minister of France has never, I am informed, written a circular on this subject which possessed the character of a diplomatic document, and intended to receive publicity similar to that which an indiscretion alone gave to the Russian circular."

There was rather a thin attendance of share holders present. Mr. Baylis was not present, and his nonappearance was explained in a circular which he had issued this morning to the shareholders. The report, which was read by Mr. COLLINS, the secretary pro tent•, stated :—" From the 30th day of June, 1855 (up to which day the last balance-sheet, as presented to the last annual general meeting, was made) to the 30th day of June, 1856, the number of policies issued is 1,219, assuring 401,0911., and producing in new annual premiums 13,0911, lls. 3d. Every policy having, previously to acceptance, received . the utmost attention and consideration, all the assurances on the books of the association are of the best description. The directors have much pleasure in calling attention to the very satisfactory character of the business, the life losses amounting only to 5,6521. 10s., and the pre mien] to 30,0751." After a few remarks from the CHAIRMAN, Mr. JACKSON, one of the directors, then rose to move the adoption of the report, and called attention to the fact that Mr. Baylis had thought proper to absent him• self to-day from the meeting, and had issued a circular this -ar PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A CRIMEAN HERO IN TROUBLE.— William Dumbartop, a private soldier, belonging to the 3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards, wince breast was adorned with the Crimean medal, was brought before Mr. Beadon, cbarged with assaulting and attempting to rob John Bolderon, a servant out of place, residing at 2G, Stanley-street, Paddington. The prosecutor deposed that about a quarter pa s t 9 la.it night, being troubled with an attack of spasms, he thought a little fresh air would do him good, and ac cordingly ho went into Hydepark for that purpose. R e ente7ed by the Marble Arch, and proceeded down the middle. walk, when defendant met him and wished him good evening and passed on. Witness had not walked far when t!le prisoner came after him, and placing himself before bdm , eaid, " How are you ? I have not seen you for a. long time." Prosecutor told prisoner that he bad the advantage of him, and they walked on some dis tance talking together. The prisoner then suddenly seized him by the arm and demanded a shilling of him, and on his telling him that be had not got a shilling the prisoner laid hold of him by the throat with one band and attempted to rifle his breast pocket with the other. Witness calfed out "Murder" as loud as he could, and in a minute or two a constable name up, when he gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said the prosecutor first accosted him, and wanted to take indecent liberties with him, which ho resented, and . threatened to give him in charge of the police. The prosecutor no sooner beard this than he began to call out "Murder" most lustily. The result was a constable Came up, and he was given into custody. The prosecutor underwent a most searching cross. examination, but his evidence was not shaken in the Mast. Police-constable, 201 A, said about half-past nine last night he was on duty in Hyde-park, where he heard the cry of " Murder" three or four times proceed from the direction of the Magazine Barracks. He ran to the spot, and just as he got up he met the prisoner, who, in answer to his inquiry, said " it was ali right." The pro secutor then came up and. gave the prisoner in charge for attempting to strangle and rob him. The prosecutor's clothes were in great disorder, and the prisoner did not mention anything about his taking liberties with him for full ten minutes after the present charge was taken. Thin the prisoner denied. Love, 167 A, corroborated the evidence of his brother constable. Mr. Beadon said it was a case for a jury to decide, and committed the prisoner for trial. SOUTHWARK. IMPUDENT ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S.—John Brown, a well dressed man, was brought before Mr. Burcham, charged with stealing a gold chain, value 4/. 155., from the shop of Mr. Francis Putley, watchmaker and jewel ler, Newington causeway. The prosecutor stated that on Saturday evening the prisoner came into his shop and stated that he was con netted with a family at Southampton with whom he was acquainted. He then said that he wanted to purchase a gold chain. Witness showed him several, but neither of them suited kim ; and after requesting one to be manufactured of a particular pattern, he was about to leave the shop. His son, however, detained him, and asked him for the chain he had in his pocket, and a policeman was called in, and he was given into custody. Witness did not see him conceal a chain, neither had he missed one at the time. The prosecutor's son said that he was sitting in the parlour at the back of the shop on Saturday evening, when the prisoner came in and asked to be shown some chains ? Witness was reading a book at the time, but he looked sideways at the prisoner atd saw him take up a chain and put it in his pocket. Ha got up then, passed quietly through the shop, and requested a lad living at the next shop to go and fetch a constable. As soon as the latter came up the prisoner was about to quit the shop, when witness put his hand upon him, and told him he had one of his father's chains about him. He indignantly denied it, and went towards the counter, when witness distinctly saw him put the chain on the counter. He then gave him into custody. Tne prisoner declared that it was all false what the young man had stated. He never concealed the chain about him, as it was on the counter among the other chains all the time. Police-constable 63 M said that when he took the pr soner into custody he denied the charge. Mr. Burcbauo said that, according to the evidence, it was a case for a jury ; therefore ho should commit him for tria!, LITERARY GOSSIP. OCTOBER, 1856. Very welcome indeed is an announcement which bas recently made its appearance, to the effect that the admirers of the late Miss Mary Russell Mit ford may look forward to the speedy publication of a selection from her Correspondence. A selec tion to be edited, so the ru mour s t a t es , b y h er intimate friend and literary executor, the Rev. Mr. Harness. Charming,. w e may b e sure, were all those light sparkling letters, flung off in the abandon, of familiar intercourse with her intimates, by the ever-delightful and animated authoress of " Atherton" and other Tales, of " Belford Regis" and its suburbs, of various dramatic writings, poetical and picturesque, but, above all, of those exquisite and classic sketches of rural life and manners, " Our Village." A village as famous in I ,t,a Way (what though the description of it was in humblest prose" —a garb of simple russet, so to speak, as modest and unassuming as that of the brown-feath ere d n i ght i ngale)—a v ill age as f amous in its way as though it had been Goldsmith's Auburn, and Crabbe's Borough, and Mason's Garden, and Somerville's Chase, all rolled into one—sparkling in its style as any wayside runnel bubbling under the hedgerows, grateful to the eye of memory as any verdant meadow or leafy cop pice, beautiful and fragrant in its associations as any bank of greensward flowered over with the wood anemone, the violet, and the primrose. We shall await with eager pleasure the coming-forth— probably in the course of next spring —of this pro. mimed Correspondence of Mary Mitford, the Eng lish Hobbima in pen-and-ink. It must be confessed that with all his short comings elsewhere, Lord Palmerston has done well as yet in regard to the distribution of the mi sera bl e little 1,2001. a year placed at the disposal of the Prime Minister for the encouragement, or ra th er for the solace, of th e most necessitous among th e meritorious cultivators of Art and Literature. An earnest of good in this direction, at any rate, hag been vouchsafed very recently by the awarding (it is said at the suggestion of the veteran Lord Brougham) of 1001. per annum to the widow of the late lamented Gilbert Abbot A'Beckett, so well known, so long and so wid e ly, a s a n able magistrate and a delightful wit. Together with this acceptable intimation of the moderate pension thus wisely and generously awarded to the relict of one who was at once a laborious man of letters and a meritorious public servant —comes to us the mention of another 1001. per annum set aside (happily during his life time) to another and a younger humorist, Angus B. Reach, the author (among other things) of that very startling romance illustrative of the Corsican Vendetta, "The Boak with the Iron Clasps," a tale of glamour, appropriately illustrated by the wierd pencil of George Cruikshank. Curiously enough there are two popular His tories of England now appearing in monthly parts, penned each by a veteran an d accomp l is h e d littra teur—one (Brad bury and Evans's) by Charles Knight, the other (Cassell's) by William Howitt— this, remember, in spite of the great national theme having already been treated in a popular form by men of genius as remarkable in their rare way as Charles Di c k ens and Oliver Goldsmith Bs it said, however, in simple justice to Mr. Howitt and to Mr. Knight, that there was ample " room and ve rge enoug h" l e f t b oth by Boz and Noll—the annals by the latter being strangely bald and meagre, those by the former being yet more strangely tinctured with all sorts of perverse pre judices. Success then, say we, to each of these new popular national historic enterprises —pro ductions, both of them, profusely illustrated. There are two theatrical " facts" just now the talk (and no wonder) of the metropolitan lovers of the histrionic. First and foremost, the liveliest expectation is awakened by the circumstance of a new play being underlined in the bills of the Lyceum —a new play by Westland Marston, the poet-play-wright, well-known as the author of " Anne Blake," but better known still as the author of the " Patrician's Daughter." An au uouncement this, which gives promise of Mr. Chas. Dillon's enterprise as a manager keeping pace in some measure with his fame as an actor, a fame won and nightly i ncrease d b y hi s remarkableim personation of Belphegor. Secondly, a very easily comprehensible interest is felt in the fortunes of the five-act drama called "Bianca," recently in preparation at Drury-lane—an interest none the less vivid and comprehensible now that the dra matist, William James Robson, late clerk in tho Transfer-office of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, stands committed to take his trial at the Old Bailey for forgery or embezzlement to the tune of some 20,0001. or 30,0001. The mysterious demise of the late Charles Row croft, ex-Consul at Cincinnati, has naturally enough awakened the sympathy of all those who remember the humours and pleasantries crowded together in the pages of his delightful "Tales of the Colonies." Having received his exequatur from the United States with Mr. (now Sir John) Crampton, the unfortunate ex-Consul at Cincinnati dies rather abruptly, certainly very prematurely, under some what suspicious circumstances on board the Ame rican ship Cherubim—the rapid decomposition of his body necessitating a hasty burial in the deep sea, whence no Mr. Herapath or Professor Taylor can be afforded opportunities for experimenting in quest of strychnine or antimony. Is it not a rather curious and interesting coincidence to be remarked —now that we have Charles Dickens's " Little Dorrit" (the milliner that was !) before us, so well advanced—that Charles Roweroft's "Fanny, the Little Milliner," was issued some few years ago as an illustrated monthly serial story—divided into two parts, or books, or divisions, one " Po verty," the other " Riches !" It is at least, we say, a coincidence. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe (by means of hun dreds of thousands of half-crown volumes, and very much smaller editions of the larger issue of the same book at six s hilli ngs ) con ti nues t o w i n " golden" opinions in England as well as in America, as a rewar d f or h er thrilling tale of the Great Dism a l S wamp , D re d. This same Dred" being (after another fashion than that of Mr. Burke's very taciturn colleane) " Ditto to Unc!o Tom's Cabin !'" As the Times' critic very well said of these celebrated anti-slavery romances —two hits right in the Bull's eye (query John Bull's) running ! Honour, and glory, and fame, uul prolit—mich as this—to the Clarkson among female novelists, the Buxton of the pen, the Wil berforce of literature ! THE POLITICAL CHARACTER. OF NA RVALZ. (From, the Union of yesterday.) In a moral and elevated point of view, the successive iownfall of the heroes of the late i nsurrect i on o ff ers a nost instructive example. O'Donnell overthrows the San Luis administration by means of a sanguinary in• ~urrection ; he is then overwhelmed by the revolt, and compelled to accept the omnipotence of Espartero ; the Duke of Victoria, invested with the most absolute aietatership ever exercised by a man of the sword, is attacked, undermined, and driven away by his for. tunate rival ; O'Thonell, for a moment triumphant, believes his triumph to be definitive, but of a sud den, without a struggle, without public emotion, and on leaving a ball, ho finds himself replaced by Marshal Narvaez, his personal adversary, and the tounder of the system which fell before the pronuncia mento of Vicalvaro. In truth, we may recognise the practical justice which the revolution exercises on it; , nost devoted tulle -rent. What are we now to expect front the ministry constituted under the presidency of Marshal Narvaa z ? At least the names of which it is composed are not unknown ; and we are not compelled, as has been the ease since two years, to search the chronicles of journalism, or the gossip of the parliamen tary back-stairs, in order to discuss the antecedents or to divine the politics of the individuals called to Marshal Narvaez, notwithstanding the ctinneien.g. which he possesses in common with all these morel Biers armed as statesmen, and who are often which cunning than diplomatist 3, has a fixed p 1a ? , ,,: But he has twice followed whilst at the head of affa l ir 845 and will he be more successful in 1856 than in and will 1850?

ROBBERY BY A FOREIGN WOMAN AND lIER FARA MOUR.—Godfrey Holman, alias lrederick Rollin, alias Horner, with several other aliases, and Maria Muller, alias Hansom, alias A nsell, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a variety of property of a woman named Ansel], whose name the female prisoner had adopted. All the parties are Germans, and lived in the same house, in Little Prescott-street, Wbitechapel. A few Ways ago the prasecutrix, who rented the house, went to liamburgh, leaving the prisoners in charge of her apart ments and furniture. On her return seven or eight days afterwards, she found the house closed. On effecting an entrance she discovered that the whole of her furniture had been removed. There was not a single thing belonging to her left in the house. A few days afterwards the female prisoner was taken into custody by Police-sergeant Foay, an intelli gent detective officer, 7 11, and he traced to her pos session two looking-glasses and five pictures belonging to the prosecuLrix, and which the prime r had pawned at the shop of Hales and Roche, in the Commercial-road. George Dale, their assistant, positively swore to the juvenile prisoner pawning the articles, although she made an attempt to deny it. Foay subsequently appre hended the male prisoner, who had absconded when the woman was taken into custody. He was found con cealed in a lodging-house in Spitalfields. The male pri soner had pawned a blanket and a quilt at the shop 01 Mr. Croswell, a plwnbrAer, in High-street, White chapel. The officer had secured the whole of the furniture and effacts belonging to the proseoutrix. The property was found in various places. The prisoners on being called on for their defence be gan criminating each other. The woman said that Horner told her to take the things out of the house, to which he replied in German that she was the thieF, and that he had nothing to do with the robbery, except pawning the goods at her request. Foay, in answer to a question by the magistrate, said the house where the parties lived was no better than a brothel, and the object of the prosecutrix's journey to Hamburg was a questionable one. Mr. Selfe said the prisoners bad undoubtedly appro priated to their own use property which was left in their care. He fined them 51. each, and in default of payment sentenced them to one month's imprisonment for un lawful possession of the property. NEWS.—(This Day.)
