LIONS 111ARKET kkTl) COMMERCIAL INTELLitiem,,_ OTT f, Two o'cLoait. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with an active appearance, and prices of American, compared with Friday's rates, were rather higher. The,sales amounted to 7,000 bales, 2,000 f which were taken on speculation. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were scarcely maintained. The progress of the Silk Trade during the past month is thus described by Mr. H. W. Eaton : " Having so recently reported the result of the public sales, and the contents of the Overland Mail, there is li.tle to add to the annexed monthly sta. showing, it bvill be found, as eutup,,.ed with this dx e last year, a decrease in the stock of China and 13 , :ngal raw silk of 0,423 bales, with an in creas.ed delivtry in the ten months of 1856 of 9,400 bales over these of 1855. T:1 , 3 advices from Cilina of the large early settlements of 33,000 bales, of Which 21,000 had already been sant forward, and an advance in price of ls. Gd. to 2s. per lb., had at the momentlittle or no effect, but within the last few days the market has assumed a decidedly improved tone, and a good business has been done under the impression, it would seem, that in the above posi tion of stocks and consumption, the generally esti_ mated export to Great Britain of 65,000 to 70,000 bales of all sorts, would not exceed our require ments. In Bengal sik there has also been more doing, but the assortment is indifferent, a large portion of the cargo of the last steamer being infe rior, and of the rainy Bund. Prices by the last mail were high in Calcutta, axd the heavy rains sc ,' had caused some apprehension for the November 1.61 Bend. In the Italian market the stock is extremely limited, and but little doing. Prices are ou •th t wi change. In Brutias and Persians there i s nn 20 alteration." 3t. Accounts f rom Paris contain a decree modifying the duties levied upon imported combing and dyed 2 - 9 wools of all sorts. Combing wools have hitherto paid an ail valorem duty of 30 per cent ; and printed wools 3001. per 100 kilos., brFrench vessels, and 31 7 f. 50c. by foreign ships. The new tariff sub stitutes for the general impost of 30 per cent. upon combing wools, a duty of 70 for French and 80f. by foreign vessels per 100 kilos., and instead of 300 and 3 171. 50c, on printed wools to be reduced to 100 f. and 1151. per ditto. These modifications in the French tariff are important, as they will serve to reduce the value of the raw material so Much complained of by the manufacturers ; and they are a step towards a complete reform of the tariff upon imported wares as regulated by the de cree of the 20th July last. Under the empire while these duties have been enforced there has b_een a decli ne i n th e d uties of foreign wools, which during the past year did not exceed 170,497 f, ; While printed wools scarcely appear on the Cus toms' return as an article of import. During th© past week the exports of specie were valued at 656,190, and the imports at 764,6001. The following are the particulars of the amount of bills drawn by the Hon. East Company, from the 24th ult. to the 9th inst., on the three presi dencies : Oa Bengal .................. £65,076 13 10 Madras ............... 9,208 9 0 Blrabay .................. 200 0 0 Total ............... £74,485 2 10 The market for Public Securities has been exceed ingly dull, a general indisposition being manifested to enter into extensive engagements. Lord Mayor's s h ow has tended to check business,The but the protracted voyage of the James Baines forms a subject off ect of conversation, soon because if s h e d oes not Bank o f E,rve and furth er sums are taken from the ngland, it is feared that an advance on the rate of discount, or some other restrictive measure, will have to be adopted. Consols have been 92i 1. and 92i for money. Th e account prices h ave b een 921 93, Exchequr B hcontinuee Bonds ills tat, at 2s. discount to is. premium,e and t are 98g.

Turki s h 6 per Cents. have been 891 90k, being heavy ; and the 4 per Cents. are marked 100 Z-, which is a de'cline of about I per cent. Mexican Bonds are 22 to 22 1 , Belgian 41 per Cents. 951, and Dutch 21 per Cents. 64i. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stooks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 71 ; Mexi can, 22 224 ; Peruvian 4', per Cents., 76 8 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 95 7; Spanish 3 per Cents., 41 421 ; ditto Deferred, 231 24; ditto, Certificates, 54 ditto Passive, 6 Little activity has been displayed in the Railway Share Market this morning, and prices have exhi bited a downward tendency. In most of the lead ing lines a decline of about 10s. to 1/. may be quoted—viz., Caledonian, Groat` Western, North- Western, South-Western, Midland, North-Eastern Berwick, and South-Eastern. The Canadian lines have been steady, but French, Italian, and Belgian are rather lower. Joint-stock Bank shares are inactive, and prices have exhibited but little change. Loudon and County improved 55., and Union of Australia de- Witted 15s. to it. Miscellaneous shares are with out material alteration. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ON -.

RAILIvAya, Saturday. Bluineas tills GAy To chronicle the events of Lord Mayor's Day is gene rally a dull affair. There are few in " Cockaigne " proper, or indeed in the whole metropolis, who are not by ocular demonstration familiar with everything apper taining to the great annual civic pageant; and beyond giving an account of the broken heads and other mishaps which invariably attend the progress of "the first magis• trate" through the capital to Westminster, the journalist has little more to do than to fall back on the records of past years. Still, the Lord Mayer's Show is looked upon as one of the institutions of the country, and to speak against it might be considered little less than 1 treason. This morning, big with the fate of turtles, opened dull and heavily upon the mighty City, but as the day advanced the damp hazy fog which floated over the glorious dome of St. Paul's gradually disappeared, and civic functionaries and gaudy attired footmen were heard to exchange mutual congratulations upon being able once ae,ain to exhibit their finery with-the advantage of a November sun. Long before the City had begun to assume its wonted bustle and activity the carpenter's hammer was sounding the noisy note of preparation, and. throughout the line of procession ricketty windows were secured, dusty flaps unfurled, and streot barriers erected to stop intrusive vehicles. The Mansion House was, of ! course, the scence of much commotion, and during the whole of 'the morning policemen, city marshals, and liveried flunkeys, with immense bunches of flowers and unexceptionable limbs, were ,flitting ,to and fro in a dreadful state of excitement, while at the various ward balls, beadles, whose shabby genteel coats were con cealed beneath heavy cloaks fringed with gold lace, were furbishing up their wands of office, and solemnly in structing their supernumeraries who were engaged in the pageant. The Lord Mayor having been duly installed in the civic palace, his lordship commenced the duties and pleasure of the day by putting his cook's abilities to the ,test, and entertaining his friends and officers of the household at a sumptuous breakfast. The well-known venerable but glittering triumphal carriage, contemptuously dubbed gilt gingerbread, but to simple juveniles nothing less than solid gold, brought by some civic argosies, or paid as tribute to the city potentate by his subjects in bygone times, having been ordered to the door, his lordship, attired in his vermillion coloured robe, his gold ohs,* wearing his hat, decorated with an undertaker's plume of feathers, which, by the-bye, is one of the ugliest things in the procession, attended by his chaplain, the, Recorder, and the sword-bearer, who wore a perpendicular muff on his head, large enough to contain all the charters of right in possession of the Corporation, entered the antiquated vehicle and drove off to the Guildhall, followed by the sheriffs. Here for the first time his lordship was wel corned and cheered by "the populace" as the Lord Mayor of London; and having partaken of luncheon —eating and drinking being the principal, and cer tainly the most agreeable features in the cere mony his lordship announced it to be his will and pleasure that the procession should be arranged in the order in which it was to move on. Accord ingly, the City Marshal set to work ; men in brass and steel were safely deposited in the saddles of their powerful but not unruly steeds. Policemen drew their staves out and commenced to clear the way for the pro cession, which having been formed, after much shout ing, noise, and prancing of " war steeds," a flourish of trumpets was sounded, and his lordship, attended by the before-mentioned civic officials, having taken his seat in the state-coach, the procession began its march to the Palace at Westminster in the following order : Police Constables to clear the way. Drums and Fifes. The Boys belonging to the Royal Marine Society, with Banners. City Marshals' Man. Three Trumpeters.

The novel part of the procession was that contributed by Mr. Sheriff Mechi—viz., the Traction Engine and End less Railway, especially adapted for agricultural pur poses. It was drawn by six horses, and attracted great curiosity. This was followed by the prize reaping ma chine from Tiptree Hall, and Fowler's steam plough figured for the first, and perhaps the only, time in a pro. cession through the heart of Lonthm. On arrival at Loodon-bridge his lordship "took water." The river procession was made up in the usual man ner. First there was his lordship's barge, and then that of thelate Lord Mayor's, and bringing up the rear was a thick cluster of smaller craft belonging to the several liveries. The wharves and bridges throughout the whole raute were numerously attended, and the cheer ing that greeted his lordship was only exceeded by the number of royal salutes fired from different parts of the river. 96 98 98 _,-• 102 12 14 133 - 138 4 ... 4i Do Ut, Yk. itz Bars,. 11.&NIT Do. lg :us East Do - 13 23; 112 1 p 1 Nto & Co Do • 3i Do.

On the arrival of the civic barges at Westminster, the Lord Mayor and the other civic functionaries proceeded at once to the Exchequer Court. A great number of persons had collected on the bridge to witness the de barkation, and Palace•yard and the Hall were also crowded with spectators. The court itself was filled in every part, and amongst the auditory were several ladies. At about two o'clock the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. T. Q. Finnis, accompanied by the Recorder, a number of Aldermen, the sheriffs, the Under Sheriffs, the City Solicitor, the Chamberlain, the High Bailiff of South wark, and several members of the Common Council, entered the court. The civic party took a standing position on the bench reserved for Queen's counsel, each wearing the black cap. At this moment the learned judges took their seats 400 Wiitp&fl upon the bench, each' wearing a black cap, a circum stance which elicited an irrepressible burst of laughter from the members of the bar and the erowd in court, which ebullition of mirth their lordships could not re• frain from joining. The learned Recorder then addressed the Court, as is usual on such occasions, and introduced the Right Hon. Thomas Quested Finnis to their lordships. The learned gentleman entered at length into the principal events of his lordship's life, and having intimated to their lord ships that her Majesty had signified her approval of the choics the citizens of London bad made, The Lord Chief Baron congratulated the new Lord Mayor on attaining to the high honour of first magis ti ate of the greatest empire in the world. The Lord Mayor having bowed his acknowledgments, was then sworn in the usual form. The late Lord Mayor was also sworn to render unto her Majesty a full account of the receipts on account of the Crown during his mayoralty, and to "behave him- self properly," according to the old form of oath, whils he did so. The other formalities having been gone through, the Recorder invited the judges to the banquet in the Guild hall this evening. The Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the officers of the City, then withdrew. ' The procei,sion returned to the City in the same order as on its coming. THE GREAT WROUGHT IRON GUN.

The procession moved from Guildhall, and passed from J. W. M. TCHELL, Lieut.-Col., C.R,A., Superintendent. On referring to Sir Howard Douglass's important work on naval gunnery —the great authority on all questions of artillery —w e find that these ranges exceed by about 10 per cent, the ranges of the best solid shot guns in her Majesty's service, and by 20 to 25 per cent. those of the 8 and 10-inch (shell) guns. We noticed in this paper about a fortnight ago a paragraph stating that this large wrought iron gun was about to be tried against the bomb-proof floating battery Etna. We are very glad to hear that the Admiralty has decided upon such a test. The experiment would be viewed with the greatest in terest by the scientific world, and its results would have no slight effect upon the minds of those who are disposed to be the enemies of England in other parts of Europe. Remembering the trials at Formby, when wrought iron plates of a similar strength and size to those which pro tect the sides of the Etna were blown to splinters, we confess to a belief in the probability that the Etna would be speedily lost to the nation. The experience would, however, be worth the sacrifice; fJr of what use would be an arm that should fail in the day of battle ? And how shall we know that it will not fail without being subjected to sufficient test ? That the Etna will fail, and that the gun will be found the most formidable weapon for offence or defence yet produced, we have reason to believe. This is no argument against the ex periments being made, and that speedily. TUE CRYSTAL PALACE.—The subject of a great musi• cal celebration of the centenary of Handel's cloth, in 1859, has already occupied considerable attention. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the Crystal Palace fur this purpose, arrangements have been con cluded between the Sacred Harmonic Society and the directory cf the Crystal Palace Company for under taking, in May next, in the central transept a preli minary Grand Handel Festival or Congress with a carefully selected orchestra of the unprecedented ex ' tent of 2,300 performers. PARDON FOR POLITICAL OFFENCES.—The Queen bas signified her pleasure that a full and free pardon should be granted, under the Great Seal of Great Britain and of Ireland respectively, to all persons suffering under the consequences of conviction for political offences. This full and gracious measure will be of the greatest c: - .nsequence to many suffering punishment or privation for political acts, especially those like Mr. Smith O'Brien, O'Doherty, &c., in Ireland, and Frost, Williams, and Jones, in England, who were convicted of high treason and sentences to death, with all the accompanying dis qualifications consequent upon so serious a crinve. What had hitherto been done merely remitted the p anishment inflicted in each case, but a pardon under th'i Great Seal restores the individuals to all their civil rights and sta tions as they stood before trial. They ca - n now pos, e:;s and inherit lands, and enjoy all the privileges and digni ties i❑ the State. This high act of Royal clemency of course does not include those who broke their parole, or incurred the additional penalty of Eying from th , ft hen- tense of the lacy.

CORN EXCHANGE Only moderate supplies of English wheat were on salo in t'se leading country markets held on Saturday; n ever th o . less the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Spring corn, especially inferior barley, was very dull. Most of the Continental markets continue heavy for wheat and other produce. In the quotations, however, no material change has taken place. From New York we learn that largo supplies of wheat were coining forward. Tho arrivals of English grain up to our market last week wero small. From abroad we received 12,881 quarters of wheat, 6,670 barley, 29,340 oats, -1,716 beans, 120 peas, 744 tares, 290 linseed, 910 rapeseed, 130 mustard seed, 210 sundry seeds, 1,326 sacks and 453 barrels of flour. Fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, the receipts of English wheat this morning wero only moderate in quantity, but we observed a decided improvement in the condition of most of the samples, compared with many previous weeks. Although the stands were rather scantily filled, the demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Mon day last, of from is to 2s per quarter. Nearly the whole of the supply on offer was composed of nosh samples. With foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary, we were fairly supplied. Although the demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish state, and a limited business was doing, importers were firm. Prices, however, ruled no minally the same as on this day week. Floating cargoes wore steady. Fine barley sold rather steadily at full quotations. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off heavily, and, in some instances, prices were is to 2s per quarter lower, SEEDS. Linseed meets a ready sale, and prices are in favour of sellers, especially for arrival. Linseed and rape cakes con tinue steady at last week's prices. Rape and oil seeds are in moderate demand, at improved quotations.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. There was a slow inquiry for malt, at last week's cur. Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Baron Bramwell, and Dir. Baron Watson. The show of Irish and foreign oats was extensive, and 11,3 trade consequently ruled heavy. Damp parcels were he turn in favour of buyers. ,his case. The action was brought by the plaintiff, a master tailor of London, against the directors of th e Great Northern Railway for a breach of contract, and was tried a few days since before Mr. Baron Martin, when the learned judge directed the jury not to give greater damages than ss. The plaintiff', in October last, having made arrangements to visit his customers in the North of England, took a ticket, and paid hie fare at the King's-cross station, to be conveyed to Hull on the arrival of the train, which was late, at Great Grimsby. He found there was no conveyance on that night to Hull and that although the Great Northern Company had advertised to con vey passengers to Hull, their line stopped at Great Grimsby. On the following morning the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lancashire Railway refused to convey the plaintiff on to Hull without paying the fare, is. 4d. The learned counsel based his motion on the ground of mill. direction on the part of the learned judge, who directed the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff for the recovery of the direct consequences arising from the breach of the contract, and that was the railway fare from Great Grimsby to Hull—his bed, supper, kc., he would have had to have paid for if he had gone on to Hull thatnight. The learned counsel contended that the learned judge ought to have left it to the jury to assess the damages. The Lord Chief Baron said that when a breach of contract took place the party aggrieved had a right to be put in the same position, so far as money was concerned, as if the contract had been performed. The law took no notice of a man's vexation. Everybody must admit there was some in being kept waiting at a railway station and finding the company had broken its contract. 152 72 1 Rule refused. HAMBLIN V. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.-. RAILWAY LIABILITY. Both beaus and peas were in very moderate supply and request, at full quotations. Mr. Wild, Q.C., moved for a rule for a new trial in COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE S. HOOL This bankrupt was described as a paper manufacturer at Maidstone, and silk merchant in Gloucestershire, and to-day came up for his certificate. The balauce-sheet, commencing January, 1855, and ending April, 1856, shows—Debtor to creditors, 6,2201.; to ditto holding► security, 3,8121. Creditor —Good debts, 5451.; doubtful, 2351.; property realised, 1,6181.; ditto in the hands of creditors, 1,6001.; trade expenses 1,6111.; house ditto, 8361. His Honour, on referring to the report of Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, said that the bankrupt was deficient in Jan. 7, 1855, to the extent of 4,2501., and he ought to have stopped at that time instead of going on increas ing his debts to such a large amount. Bankrupt's solicitor said that bankrupt bad been in partnership with a person against whom the assignees claimed 1,5001. on the partnership account, and pro ceedings in Chancery had been taken to recover it, that sum and the then value of his property would have con siderably reduced, if not covered the deficiency, and the bankrupt was going on by the assistance of his friend, but was stopped by proceedings pressing him. The paper business was estimated to produce 3,0001. a year. His Honour asked Mr. Pennell what would be the amount of the dividend ? Mr. Pennell said from 2s. to 3s. in the pound, but if the assignees succeeded in the suit it would consider ably increase. His Honour---" If "—a very good word in its wayj; but what follows it I &Chancery suit is a bad "if " tO begin with. The Solicitor said that strong hopes of success were entertained. His Honour said that there was one thing in the bankrupt's favour, which was that his books had been well kept. Under these circumstances, the case might be met with a suspension of the certificate for nine months from the date of the petition, then to be of the third class. Protection was granted. POLICE INTRTJ.TGENCE.— (This Day. SOUTH WARK. CHAIM& OP SHOPLIFTING.—Margaret WC/811 1 Oita - 'otte May, and Sarah. Clarks, three young women of Tespectable appearance, were brought charged with •tealing a piece of plaid stuff from the shop of Mr. Akerman, linen draper, New-cut, Lambeth. John Breman, an assistant to the prosecutor, stated that about 5 o'clock in the evening he saw the prisoners standing in front of the shop looking at some pieces of printed calico exposed there for sale. Near the doorway was a piece of plaid stuff. Welsh moved towards -t while the others covered her with their shawls while she stooped down, pulled up the plaid, and put:itlunder her dress. May came into the shop and asked to look at some ribbons, and the prisoner kept behind evidently to receive anythin; she might purloin. Witness immedi ately went and called up his employer, who sent him fora Police-constable, and on his return the prisoners were given into custody. Thomas Akerman said that he was at tea at the time, and on being called into the shop by last witness he saw the prisoners endeavouring to make their exit. He stopped them, and asked Welsh what she had under her s h aw l. She replied nothing. He, however, lifted her shawl, and the piece of plaid produced fell from her. Last witness then came in with a police•constable, and he gave them all into custody. There could be no doubt, from the manner in which the robbery was com mitted, that they were expert shoplifters. Police•const`able, 82 L, said he took the prisoners into custody. He bad made inquiries since then, and could not ascertain whether they had beeu previously convicted of felony. Mr. Burnham asked the prisoners whether they would prefer being tried by him or going to the sessions. If the former, they must all plead guilty. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and hoped his worship would be lenient with them as it was their first offence. Mr. Burnham said he could not believe that from the manner in which they committed the robbery. How ever, as they were not previously known, he should not inflict the full punishment, but sentence each of them to four months hard labour iu the House of Correction. of f e r L 0 Majesty ld r the al e Q r s u f e o e li te ; THE MOTRER OF LumuT. `'FOGHORN.—The aged will place this mother of Lieut.

We stated the other week that the trials made with the 13-inch wrought iron monster gun, manufactured by Me , srs. Horefall, at the Mersey Works, Liverpool, and presented by tbem to the country on the condition that it should " be used against the enemy," were eminently successful. We mentioned on that occasion, in general terms, the nature of the trials and the distances of range obtained ; but we are now iu a position to place before our readers the official report, showing the results of 50 rounds, each fired with a 501 b. charge, the projectile being solid shot, 2301 b. weight. The length of the gun, it will be remembered, is 15 feet 10 inches, and its weight (exclusive of the carriage) 437 cwt. The sub joined table gives the elevation of the gun in each round, the range, deflection, time of flight, &c. REPORT OF En,: 'ERIMENTAL PRACTICE. rency.

From most quarters our ac. counts respecting the health of the stock, both boasts and sheep, are favourable. There was rather a large supply of foreign stock in to day's market. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were rather extensive as to number, but their general quality was inferior. For all breeds we had a very dull trade, at a decline in the quotations, com pared with Monday last, of from 2d to in some instances 4d per 81bs. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 8d per 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor' thamptonshire amounted to 2,600 short-horns, from other parts of England 403 of various breeds, from Ireland 1,000 oxen, and from Scotland 100 Scots. There was a considerable falling off in the supplies of nearly all breeds of sheep, the condition of which was bat middling, and the mutton trade ruled steady at an improve. went in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The best old Downs realised 5s 2d per Sibs. We had an increased supply of calves in the market. Although the veal trade was steady, Friday's improvement in value was not supported; nevertheless the quotations were 2d per 81bs higher than on this day se'nnight. Top price 53 2d per 81bs.
