MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCL. CITY, Two o'CLoas.. The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, ex hibited the same quiet aspect, without any varia tion in prices. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 2,500 of which were taken for export and on speculation. Tho Railway Share Market closed quietly, and the fluctuations wore various iu almost every description of stock. The Moniteur of yesterday contains an official tabular statement of the average prices of wheat throughout the principal markets in France up to the 28th August. This table exhibits a sensible decline during the second week of this month. During the last month the average price of wheat Was 33f. 50c. per hectolitre, and in the present month 32f. 63c.; consequently the fall generally has not been more than 87e. In the Midland depart ments the fall was not perceptible, in con sequence of the scarcity from the inundations ; and at Marseilles, notwithstanding the large arrivals from the Sea of Azoff, there was no decline during the first part of August. The section which comprises Toulouse and Bordeaux exhibits an ave rage rise equal to that of the preceding month. On the other hand the average fall at the markets of Mulhouse during that period was as much as 4f. 5 5c. per hectolitre. The retrograde movement has been generally rapid in the eastern markets and Within the circle of Paris, but in Brittany, St. Lo, Paimfrot, and Nantes the price has been higher since the beginnirz of August than it was up to the close of July. The Bank of England Return for the week end ing the 23d inst. is generally of a favourable character, although a further slight decline is apparent in the stock of bullion. The decrease in the other securities and the addition to the reserve of notes indicates a diminution in the pressure on the Money Market. Active Circulation Decrease Bullion Decrease Rest Decrease Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 882,965 Decrease Government Securities Increase Other Securities Decrease Notes unemployed Increase 87,090 At the half-yearly meating, this day, of the Nor folk Railway Company a dividend at the rate of U. ss. per Cent., or at the rate of 21. 10s. per Cent. per annum, was declared on the ordinary stock of the company, leaving a balance of 700/. to be carried over to the naxt account. The official return of the exports of bullion from the port of London, for the week ending Thursday last, is as follows :—Silver Bullion, Hambre, 65,000 oz. ; ditto, coin, France, 2,200 oz. ; Belgium, 300 oz. Gold, Belgium, 8,070 az, ; ditto, France, 220 oz. The English Funds are stationary, at pre vious prices, and the Stock Exchange has been comparatively deserted a large number cf the members having availed themselves of the fineness of the weather, and left for the Country. Consols have been 95 to 95L- for money, and 959 for account. Exchequer Bills have risen to 11s. and 15s. prem. The Bonds are nominal, and India Bonds 15s. prem. The New Threes are 95 to 96, and the Reduced 951. Very few dealings have taken place in the Foreign Market, but prices are not lower. Turkish 4 per Cents, aro 103'1. Portuguese 3 per Cents., 46i ; Sardinian, 94 ; and Russian 41 per Cents., 981 ; Dutch 4 per Cents. are 98. _ The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada, Deferred Bonds, 7 g ; Mexican, 221 I; Peruvians 82i 3i ; ditto 3 per Cents. 58 59 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 40 7 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 111 13 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 441 5. ; ditto new Deferred, 251 g; ditto Passive, Cq7. In Railway Sharps there has been scarcely any variation, owing to the limited transactions. Some of the heavy lines are to lower. Caledonian are very depressed. Foreign descriptions have been mostly nominal, but Namur and Liege are .1 higher. Ceylons have risen 183., but the Colonial Shares generally are without change. Rigas are Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous are steady. Cobre Copper Shares are firmer. Ottoman Bank rule heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES (Font the Official List. Bm,ineta, done.

Temple, in London, was ru moured, there was a very general belief expressed in Manchester that this domestic bereavement in his family would prevent Lord Palmerston from being present, as he had intended, at the inauguration proceedings of the new Mechanics' Institution. This belief was well founded ; and it will be with. little surprise that our readers will learn, through us, that Sir B. Heywood has received a letter from his lordship, requesting him to express to the directors of the ':Aechanics' Institution his great regret that the severe f,flEction which has recently fallen upon him, in the death of his brother, will pre vent him from belie: present at the opening of the new 100 building. In his note to Sir Benjamin Lord Palmerston gave expression to his hope of being able to visit Man- 10 Chester on some future eccanion. In the unavoitable absence of the Premier, the strangers who will take part 20 in the opening proceedings will be Lord Stanley, Sir J. to Kay Shuttleworth, the Very 11ev. the Dean of Hereford, 20 Mark Philips, Esq., and the 7 tev. H. Goodwin, of CAM. 20 bridge.—Mandreeter Examiner, 10 LIFE BOAT SERVICES.—RKASGATE, Aug. 27.—At day- 20 break, alarm guns were hearil from the Goodwin light vessels. A schooner was seen on shore on the North Celli- E per. A fresh gale, young {trod an d sea, making the Rams• 1C gate Harbour steamer Aid wzB despatched with the life 2C boat (No. 2on White's plan in tow. At 9.15 a.m.`‘, steamer Aid and life-boat re turned with the schooner and her crew in tow. The wicid was at the time from WSW. The vessel was fore:in g ahead upon the land before wind and see. The lifeeboat's crew boarded her, and the captain made, a signal to the steamer to assist her off. With much difficulty the steamer approached 1 , her in very shallow water (sewer a feet), and succeeded in 4 sending her large hawser to tthe schooner, by which 5 means and with much exert ton and risk they dragged 2 her off the sand. The scho..nei ), being on the weather 2 side of the sand, would have gen le to pieces as the water flowed. She proved to be tb e Pauline, of Rochelle, tC Bernard, master, from Newere etle, bound to Rochelle I( with coals. An immediate ael ird was made of 481., or 283. per man ; 71. to steamer A id and lifeboat, MINING INTELLIGENCE. --T hi mining market is daily assuming a firmer tone, and tl iere is great activity in c, shares. One or two importa n t improvements early in I the week created a demand fin • shares in two or three : mines, and consequently a r;il , ie in value took place, especially in East 't' Ague, sh i res in which have now 1 1 reached 75.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. CHARGE OF FR/MM.—Geo. Browning, a young man of yellow complexion, whose mouth was adorned with a moustache, and who stated himself to be in her Majesty's service, was brought before Mr. Beadon charged with obtaining from Mr. Alfred Bingley, wine merchant, 15G, Piccadilly, a quantity of wine and liquors by false and fraudulent representations. _ Arthur Jones, cellarman to the prosecutor, deposed that on the 16th inst., about one o'clock, the defendant came to the warehouse, and after representing himself to be a surgeon just returned from Calcutta, and at pre sent in the India House, requested to be shown some port wines. After tasting several samples he ordered half a dozen of port. Witness asked him if he required any sherry, and he then ordered a dozen of sherry, some dozens of lemonade, and several bottles of liquors, the whole of which he directed to be sent to his residence, 45, Grove-place, Brompton. The goods, with the invoice, were sent by the porter, who delivered them to prisoner. The latter desired him to fetch him three bottles of Bri tish brandy, alleging that he preferred that to the French brandy. The porter did so, and when he re turned the prisoner said he could not pay the bill then, but he would call at the warehouse and pay Mr. Bing ley. The prisoner, however, did not call, and witness saw no more of him till last night, when he gave him into custody. The prisoner bad previously referred him to Mr. Jenkins, of the India-house. Samuel Evans, a porter in the employ of the prose cutor, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Joseph Lovegrove, clerk to the prosecutor, said that he had called at the India House, where he saw Mr. Jenkin ,, , who denied all knowledge of the prisoner. Inspector Coombes said he had ascertained that the prisoner bad ordered of various tradesmen goods to the amount of nearly 3001., which were to be sent to his lodgings this morning, and he no doubt would have suc ceeded in swindling the parties. out of their goods bad he not been taken into custody. He (the inspector) there fore wished for a remand. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday next. THAMES. ROBBING A CAPTAIN.—CIara Co; a well-known thief and prostitute, who has been frequently in custody far robbing mariners, and dwells at an infamous house, No. 3, John's-place, Commercial-road East, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a silver watch and gold guard, value 151. Captain Edward Brown, master of the ship Estonnab, lying in Bell-wharf tier, Shadwell, said he went last night to a lodging-house, No. 32, Commercial-road, and had a cup of coffee and then hired a bed. In the morn ing he found his watch and chain had absconded. (A laugh.) Mr. Selfe—How did it abscond Captain Brown—roat young woman came into my bed by permission of the landlady, and between 2 or 3 o'clock this morning she absconded, and I suspect my watch and chain absconded with her. Mrs. Patience Soder, an ancient-looking, woman said she was landlady of the house, No. 32, Commercial-road. It was a coffee and lodging-house. She let out beds, of course. Mr. Selfe—Yes, night coffee-houses are nearly al brothels. I know that from my experience as a magi Wrate. Mrs. Soder—The captain came in alone, and the pri soner came in some time afterwards and sat down beside him. They went up stairs together. The bedroom was over my kitchen. Half•an-hour afterwards I heard some one moving about. The prisoner came down stairs, and I said I hoped it was all right, and she said " Oh yes," and left the house. This morning, when the cap tain awoke, 1 e said he had been robbed of his watch and chain. Capt. Brown was recalled, and said he placed his watch and guard on a table before he went to bed. His purse, containing 101., was in his pocket. Ho found all his money safe. Mr. Selfe said the prosecutor was very lucky to save his money, and remanded the prisoner.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE WITH A HAMMER. —Richard illorga2z, a dirty looking old fellow, the keeper of a brothel in King-street, Borough-road, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with committing a violent assault upon Hannah Ongley with a hammer. The complainant, whose left eye was swollen and much bruised, stated that she was an unfortunate female and lodged in the prisoner's house. On Fridßy morning, shortly after ten o'clock, the prisoner, who bad been drinking all night, came up to her and asked her for some money, she told him that she owed him no rent and she had no money. Ile then said you b go and look for some. She replied that she could not at that time, when he seized up a hammer and with out any further remarks, struck her violently on the left eye, nearly stunning at the two. He was about to repeat the blow when she closed in with him, and, after a severe struggle, succeeded in wrenching it from his grasp. A constable then came up, and she gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr; Combe, witness said she had been drinking with the prisoner during the night and morning, and was a little under the influence of liquor when he struck her, but she never gave him any provocation to strike her with such a weapon as a ham mer. Fortunately for her the wound was not very severe. e:' Police constable 180 M stated that on Friday morn ing, shortly after two o'clock, he was on duty in the Borough-road, when he heard a female calling out mur der in King-street. He proceeded there, and saw the pri soner and the prosecutor struggling together. The latter had a hammer in her hand, and she gave him into custody for striking her on the eye with it. The parties were both under the influence of liquor, but the female had an extensive bruise on her left eye. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that the complainant had been annoying him all the morning because he would not give her more drink. He then told her either to go to bed or leave the house, and on her refusal they had a struggle together, but he had no recollection of striking h-r with a hammer. The complainant said that she had paid for ❑early all the drink, and because she would not go and get more money in the street he struck her. She, however, did not wish to punish him. Mr. Combe said that had they not both been in a state of intoxication he should have punished the prisoner with great severity. As he might have received soma pro vocation from her, however, he should sentence him to two months' hard labour in the Ilouse of Correction at Wandsworth.

Sir,—lt is one of the brightest features of this age the English press, and more especially the Times, should have become a high tribunal, before which the most powerful and despotic Government in the world has to appear, there to meet the accusations of a batch of poor prisoners perishing in the swamps of South America. I take such a tribunal to be far superior to any court martial, mixed commission, or Star•chamber. I therefore request you will allow me in your columns a few words in reply to the result of the inquiries made by your Paris correspendent in official quarters. The facts stated in the letter the Times has so fairly inserted and so remarkably commented upon have taken place in a very remote country, whither no man is likely to go for the express purpose of verifying them. The French Government is perfectly aware of the fact, and this is the reason why it screens so confidently behind a bold denial of some of the statements held forth the moral responsibility it has incurred, I have little doubt that the King of Naples, although in a much less favour able condition, is as ready to affirm that there is nothing but falsehood in the accusations levelled at him. For tunately, the question is one of common sense. Is it conceivable that 38 men, living at the mercy of their enemies in a place so far distant, with no prospect of material assistance, should be mad enough to sign a letter falsely stating as practised upon them such cruel ties as these—the chains with a cannon-ball attached, the floggings at the stake, the blows and brutal outrages? Is it credible that,, while their most obvious interest is to soothe the feelings of those on whom they so entirely depend, they should as much as run pro risk of inflaming to frenzy by signed calumnies the anger of their gaolers? The very fact of so many persons having, under such circumstances, appended their name's to a letter expressly intended for publicity is a decisive proof that their denunciations are not only true, but have been forced out from them by the agony of despair. Besides, it should be borne in mind that, concerning the above-mentioned cruelties, there is not the slightest discrepancy to be found in the various reports sent at different periods by different prisoners. Your correspondent has been told in official quarters that in August, 1855, those assembled on the Ile du Diable bad their residence changed to the continent, and were then subjected to military discipline. Well, long before—that is, in October, 1854—a letter had been written and made public, with the signature of the author appended to it, in which it was positively said :—" The proscribed in French Guiana are subjected to forced labour (travaux forces) side by side with the most vile, criminals. The regulations of the galleys are applied to them in all their rigour. They wear the old clothes of the deceased convicts, with the letters T.F ,' and the very word 'galley-slave ' is written in capitals on the upper leather of their shoes. Their food is that al lowed to galley-slaves. For the first months of their sojourn they have exclusively lived on metuel ' and &mac,' which were the diet of the blacks before the abolition of slavery. If one of them venture to remon strate against the boundless insolence of their subal tern tyrants, woe to him 1 He is immediately put to the rack. Starvation being added to sorrow, and the in fluence of a deadly climate to ill-treatment, 35 bodies out of 200 have been, in a few months, cast as prOy to sharks ; for in the Isle of St. Joseph the prisoners have no other cemetery than the sea." It must be remarked that at the time these statements were made public no voice rose to contradict them. When your correspondent asserts that three of the persons mentioned are liberated galley-slaves, and four of them repris de justice, he happens to confirm, in the most striking manner, one of the facts that have been denounced—namely, that in French Guiana the political prisoners live ride by side with ordinary criminals. Is it true that the seven whose names your correspondent gives are rea'ly liberated galley-slaves or repris de jug t,ce? I cannot tell, as I know nothing of them. tut supposing this to be true, how can this " assi.4 in an estimate of the characters of the men from whom the ranks of the Republican party are recruited ?" Were not men transported in consequence of the coup d'ctat who belonged to various parties ? Was not the coup d'etat resisted by persons sharing in the Legitimist or the Orleanist opinions? Among the victims who were then struck in the dark, pele-mde, and transported, "some by judgment of drum-head court-martial, some without trial at all," were there not men belonging to no party whatever ? Ii it not obvious that this very pele-made was one of the most ocli,ius consequences of the 2 , 1 of December ? The French Government, or such as speak in its name, will do well net to call to mind that Lahr, who died on the scaffold for having treacherously murdered Gen. Brea, in those unhappy days of June, was not on'y an avowed Bonapartist, but even a Bonapartist recruiter ! To sum up all, from the inquiries made by your cor respondent in official quarters, it follows : 1. That those deported to iyentie were sentenced by either courts-martial or mixed commissions, which a country like England cannot possibly consider as amount ing to a lawful judgment. 2. That out of, the 38 who signed the letter as many ss 31 were punished for no offence against the laws, the others being only seven. 3. That, supposing the seven to be what they are re presented, which may be questioned till more ample in formation ba got, the consequence is that ill Frer.c`i Guiana the political prisoners are confounded with libe rated galley-slaves and rcpris de justice, and subjected to tie same punishment. 4. That M. Peret, ex-mayor of Beziers, was trans ported to Guiana as a matter of favour ! For what crime? This is prudently passed over in silence. 5. That his death by drowning occurred, as stated by myself, in an attempt to escape, which shows that those unfmtunate people aro ready to incur a most terrzb!e death in their anxiety to fly from a life still more terlible. 6. That in the course of 'Tune two political prisoners out of 181 were carried off, although the last surVivors may naturally be considered very robust, having been able to stand till now the murderous influence of a cli mate known to be peztilential. One word more. Is it true that the system of secret transportation is still going on—that not long ago a workman in Paris disappeared on a sudden, without his family being aware of what had become of him, and that, upon inquiries, it was found the man had been sent to Cayenne ? It would be very gratifying to all right thinking men to learn that nothing of the kind has oc curred in this nineteenth century. Whatever may be the answer, I shall always congratulate myself on having afforded to the English press an opportunity to express sentiments of humanity and justice,_ co highly creditable to it.—l remain, &c., Louts BLANC. Aug 29. CICERTIACCHIO'S MURDER: AUSTRIA'S DEFENCE AND 11ER DEFENDER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUF. Sir,—S. Angeloni has requested me to translate the following letter. Will yon kindly insert it in your co lumns ? J. MERITON WHITE. 28, Ashley-place, Aug. 29. Sir, —Ali article, furnished to the Gazetta Officiale di Milano by M. Enrico Montazio, the London correi'peu dent, concerning the fate of di Ciceruacchio, having been quited by the English press, permit me to refute the statements male by the above-mentioned gentleman. After a sneering allusion to the article in the Times on Garibaldi's letter, the correspondent alleges that Ciceruacehio and his children were not shot by the Aus trians, but that they " were drowned while endeavour ing to cross a stream in their flight from Rome. He who assures me of this fact, says the correspondent, " is an ottimo galantuomo—a certain Guiseppe Angeloni—who, alter the fall of Rome, came to London, married an Englishwoman, and now earns an honest livelihood as an hotel-keeper, which employment would be more pro fitable if his extreme good-nature did not make him the dupe of so many emigrants, who, abusing his kindness, feed themselves at his expense. I, sir, am the humble individual with whose family af fairs M. Montazio thinks fit to trouble the public. I feel obliged by the respectful terms in which he mentions me, and am sorry to be obliged to repay them byasserting that his statements concerning the information given by me to him about Ciceruacchio are utterly false. I remem ber, about two months since, when dining at my table d'hote, M. Montazio questioned me concerning my poor friend. I replied that I supposed he was dead, my in variable supposition about all of our friends of whose fate we are ignorant, and whom w e know to be obnoxi ous to one or other of the Italian Governmcnts. , Had I been in possession of any particu lars, a table dhote was not the place in which I should have revealed them, nor was M. Montazio the man I would have chosen as my confidant. But in this instance I was totally in the dark. When I parted from my friend in Rome, he ac. companied Garibaldi in his retreat, and I embarked for England in a steamer off Civita Vecchia, the sth July, 1849. From that moment until General Garibaldi's letter appeared in the papers, I have waited anxiously for [tidings, fearing the worst. Hence the " stream, ' " the "crossings," and the "death by drowning," exist only in the inventive brain of the London correspondent of the Gazette Ojiciale di Milano. Perhaps if I had been in the habit of receiving Austrian money for com munications fabricated for au Austrian official journal, I might have been in possession of Austrian secrets, and long since have given over hoping against hope that some future day might give me back my friend again. As it is, I am but a poor innkeeper ; but so far from complaining of the "male fede di molti emigrati," I am glad to see at my table those of my brothers exiled for the holy cause in which the noble Ciceruacchio and his sons, together with such myriads of our countrymen, have lived and died. I have written a letter to 'this effect to the Gazette, though well aware that it has no chance of insertion. I ask you, sir, to give publicity to my statement. It is duo to General Garibaldi, who affirms, on the word and researches ',of Colonel tSacchi, that those seven brave ones fell by Austrian bullets—that false assertions should not prevent the inquiries of honest men into this matter. And for myself, I should grieve that my brothers in exile, and my brothers in my nativeland, should deem me a traitor to the com mon cause.— am, sir, with respect, yours, G. ANGELONI 32, Warwick•square, August 29,1856. - - SOUTHAMPTON ; Aug. 29.—Two steamships, the Cadiz and Jacquard, have arrived here within the last few days to go into the graving dock for repairs. These steamers belong to the Franco-American Steam Com pany, having its seat of operations at Havre, and are em ployed in the New York and Brazil trades. The other steamers of the comp y — the Arago, Vigo, Bar celona, Franc Comtois, and Ligonnais, are, it is said, s h or tly to follow, to undergo re pairs in the Southampton graving-docks. SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. SPAIN. The only Madrid journal which appeared on the 25th, that day being Monday, was the Gazette, and. it contains a letter from the Minister of Public Works to the Minister of the Interior, expressing the Queen's thanks for sundry works in agriculture, presented by the French government to the Spanish commissioner in the late agricultural show at Paris. A letter says, that two Royal princesses, Dona Josefa and Dona Isabella, had not been invited to the marriage of their sister, Dona Amalia, with Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, 'on account of their mar riages having been beneath their dignity, though, it is said, " excellent in every other re spect." The same letter says that M. de los Santos Alvarez had been dismissed from the post of minister jin Mexico, but that it was not known for what reason. Another letter from a ministe rial source says ;—" The important measures adopted by the Government, which give a clear idea of .its policy, are generally approved of Loth • at Madrid and in the provinces, not only by moderados and conservatives, but even by mode rate progressists. With respect to the dissolu tion of the national guard, all admit that that force could not be entrusted without danger with the protection of liberty. All formal resistance to the existing state of things is impos sible, and none of our political parties seem at all disposed to attempt any." The Infanta Amalia, consort of Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, is the fourth and youngest daughter of the Infante Don Francisco de Paulo, brother of the late Kink Ferdinand VII. The three sisters of this princess' married, one, the Count Gurowski, Polish emigrant, who has long resided at Brussels; another, M. Guelby, a rich merchant of Havana ; and the third, the Duke de Sessa, son of a grandee of Spain. The Infanta Amalia is the first princes of this house who has contracted a royal alliance. 4 COMMODORE ELLIOT'S CRUISE THE GULP OF TARTARY. By the arrival of the steamers -Hellespont and Erin from 6hangai, we (the Friend.3ff 491ef1ittYnre placed in possession of some interesting ififftrnatiAtiri Tegarding the recent cruise of ex-commodore Elliclt's`squadron in the Gulf of Tartary. This squadron, consisting of the Sibylle, Pique, and Barracouta, left Hakodali, Japan, on the 4th May, and on the 10th reached Cape Lemanon, in about 43 deg. north lat. There the Sibylle and Pique remained, the Barracouta steaming onwards along the coast to the northward. On the evening of the 11th, in lat 49.1.50 deg. N., long. 140.19 E , a fine and capacious bay was discovered, with many sheltered creeks capable of affording secure anchorage for ships of the largest tonnage. The entrance to this bay is very narrow, and when seen from a distance appears blocked up by an island in the centre; Indeed a ves-el might pass and repass, and no one would dream of the beautiful anchorag so close at hand. Soon after anchoring a few natives (Ghiliacks) came off to sell fish, which they were glad to barter for buttons. Some of thesenatives had buttons with Russian insigniti on them, leading the Barracouta to infer that Russian i had been there riot long before. Consequently, early next morning, Mr. Freeman, master of the Barracouta, proceeded on shore, and crossing over a field of ice, cam all at once on a number of Russian log-houses strongly built and ensconced in the shade of some forest trees. These houses bore evident marks of recent occupation-- piles of freshly cleft firewood lying here and there is various directions. There were some empty casks, too, in a stare-house, marked with the English broad arrow, " Portsmouth, 1852," the contents, &c. In front of the principal house was a flag-staff, with a compass card of April, 1855. In the rear, and a little to the left of the houses, was a strong platform battery for 8 guns. At some c'istance to the right a similar platform for 10 guns, whist in the anchorage, between the two, with her broad side to the entrance, lay the remains of alarge frigate 200 feet long, anchored in fathoms, burnt down to the ice in which she was embedded. Theframework of this vessel was stouter than that of either the Pique or Sibylle, and Conjecture assigns her to have been the Pallas.' Her figure head, a double eagle, found on the ice, was taken posses sion of by the Barracouta, and much of her rigging, spars, ,!sc., was found stowed away in different places, it being evident that her destruction had been an act com mitted but a short time before. Numerous graves—dis. tinguisbed by the Greek Cross—were found on the hill, and dated at various periods from as far back as 1853. The Ghiliacks, by signs, led the Barracouta to believe that the Russians had vacated the place seven weeks be fore only. - • Having made this extraordinary discovery, the Barra couta returned to Cape Lemanon to inform the Commo More, who, with the Pique and Sibylle, then proceeded. to a further examination of ,the bay, the hills about which were thickly mudded with birch and pine trees, affording fine shelter from the cold blasts of the north and east. Leaving her comrades in Barracouta. Bay, •as it was at once termed, the -Barracouta proceeded north, to Castrie's Bay, looking into all the' bays and inlets on the coast en route, a labour which could be performed effectu ally,_ the weather being clear, although there was some danger fron . dri fting ice. Finding-nothing Mord of Rus !labs either at De Castries Bay or on the road to it, the Barracouta returned to:the bay, named after her, which she reached en the 214 May, and, took in wood and water. Leaving Barracouta ',Bay again she reached liakodadi on the 29th; the Sibylle and Hornet arrived there a day or two after her. 52 j 12 Oi i 64k i i i x d 981 8 1061 6 ad 1061 7 I si 62 11 x d 374 40i 17i sBi x d 22 3a 51 411 511 I ••• ''.. 40 9i i it 30 28 29 128 i WATERFORD, Aug. 28.

REPORT ON. THE MINING DISTRICTS. Mr. Hugh Seymour Tremenheere's report on the ruining districts for 1856 has just been published in the form of a small blue book of 56 pages. After reporting the extension of associations for giving prizes in schools to South Wales and elsewhere, the commissioner urges the necessity of a measure to compel all boys between 10 and 14 years of age, who work below ground, to attend some school for 100 hours every six mouths—a measure which, in the general opinion of all concerned, would be of great service, both to the labour ing mining population and their employers. There-is a general concurrence in the principle of the proposed measure, and a few objections of detail are satis factorily disposed of by Mr. Tremenheere. The extorts at improvement made in the great mining dis tricts of Monmouthshire and Glamorgaeshire are next noticed. The Chartist outbreak of 1839 having alarmed the proprietors, impelled them to action, and in successive years the great majority have taken some steps to provide for their people better means of moral, reli gious, and general instruction, and to facilitate the phy sicalcomforts and decencies of life, among these large and rapidlpeollected popula'ions. Gratifying instances of this care assd forethought are given in the report. Toe unfeminine employment of women upon the " pit banks and cinder-tips" has long been indicated as de grading to the female character, and as fraught wish many and most obvious evils. A woman of this class, so brought up, and from an early age marries at or soon after 20 ; and how, it is asked, is she qualified for the discharge of the conjugal duties ! She does not know how to keep a house clean and tidy ; she cannot cook ; she is ignorant of the first principles of economy, and she knows nothing of the management of children. In connexion with this branch of the report, the neglect of some special instruction and training in nearly all female schools for the labouring classes ie very properly pointed out as an evil that might easily be re medied, and various suggestions are made with this view, which, if carried out, could hardly fail to be moetbene ficial. The strike in the principal coal and iron districts in Scotland occupies tho remainder of the report. The loss of wages between March and June (when the strike terminated) is estimated at a minimum of 500,0001., but this very imperfectly represented the total loss inflicted upen the community. The strikes are likely to take place from time to time in Scotland, and the employers are urged to adopt, without delay, such measures as may tend to abridge their duration. Mr. Tremenheere thinks that it is possible, were the effort fairly made, to establish so much confidence between workmen and masters, as should satisfy the former, when a demand for an increase of wages was resisted by the latter, that they really could not afford to comply with the request. And so with relation to a lowering of wages, the facts upon which the master founds his plea for reduction should be patent to the men. Mr. Tremen heere deplored the fact, that whenever any difference arises between masters and workmen, the question is immediately seized upon by delegates, " whose direct_l interest it is to aggravate every existing cause of n d be s pate, and bring forward as many others ash,ca made available,' and who, by generalising t e quest tion of wages for the whole district,eldio a grea might tombe deal of harm ; for one master, of by u h er is ais. fa l ' e. 7 mig anothere ntirely in ue e t s h t e i munication, easy working of his psi able s em eto afford locality. Butmuch th better ese wages ers th a a r n e mated by paid delegates.h The results of strikes are par ticularly noticeable in t e 1." The increase of crime. The low living produces 2 upon T hteh increase osst eof disease. in them low fevers, and if wet or cold weather comes on soon after a strike and before the stock of clothes, which has usually been much reduced by being sold or pawned, can be replaced or recovered, an increased rate of mortality is the c onse q uen c e . 3 . Demoralised habits. The same observers, having experience of strikes for upwards of 30 years, notice with regret the injury done to the habits of a workman and his family by a strike. The loss of their usual resource of wages drives them to resort to means of saving themselves from starvation which an honest and well-behaved workman would not previously have thought himself capable of. Some get into debt to an amount which tempts them to become dishonest ; others perambulate the country begging, or rather often extorting money or food ; others send their wives or children, or • both, on the same errand ; in all cases their self respect is impaired or de stroyed, and when that is gone the descent is easy to crime and degradation. The Marchioness (Anne) -of andonderry has arrived at Garron Tower, her ladyship's seat in the north of Ireland, from Seahain Hall. The Earl and Countess of Sandwich are entertainin g a select circle of friends at Hinchinbrooke Park, Hun tingdonshire. _ l ~~ _ I P
