MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoo K The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed qiietly, but prices wore firm. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, of which about 500 were on specu lation. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, With little variation. Accounts from the French grain markets report firmness in the prices of wheat, and an improve ment in the amount of business transacted. In rye, however, there has been a sudden suspension of sales, in consequence of a rumour being circu lated that the authorities wore projecting a mea sure prohibiting the sale of rye which exhibited the ppearance of the ergot disease, as it was known to commo amongst the crops this year. Accounts from Marseilles announce continued arrivals of grain at that port. The quantity imported during Sep tember was 1,000,000 hectolitres, and 3,200,000 do. during the quarter. The market, up to the Ist inst., continued quiet ; and although the arrivals were important, still very little of the grain was bought for the interior. The purchases for Lyons were for the time diminishing when the wheats of Dauphiny were in demand. Spain, which has sent largely to the Marseilles market for a long time past, has recently been very limited in her supplies, and accounts from that country state that there is a good market at home this season for all the produce. The imports from Taganrog, Ber diansk, and Marianopol are not so extensive as they were, and it is reported that the supplies at these shipping ports are not arriving so abundantly from the interior. In the Colonial Produce Markets this week a moderate business has been transacted at firm prices, but there has been an absence of activity. For sugar a good demand has existed, but pur chases have been checked by the high prices de manded. Some descriptions of Bengal have been sold at a slight advance. Coffee was rather cheaper early in the week, but it has since realised full rates. Tea has ruled dull, and cocoa is 2s. to 3s. per cwt. clearer. Rice has been held firmly, and a steady inquiry has prevailed. Saltpetre has been in brisk demand at full rates to Gd. per cwt. ad vance. Indigo rose 3d. to Gd. per lb. yesterday afternoon, owing to the advices from India that the crop was not expected to exceed 100,000 maunds. Spices have been quiet, but nutmegs have been at a slight enhancement. Tallow has men dull. There is now an (asier feeling in the Money Market, although a good demand still exists for money, owing to the largo amount of commercial bills falling due to-morrow, the 4th of the month. Money in Lombard-street is now obtainable at a trifle below the quotation of the Bank, so that the applications for discounts at that establish- ment are consequently limited. The Pera, which leaves Southampton to-morrow for the East Indies and China, has about 778,700/. in specie on board. A firm engaged in tho rice trade has failed this morning. The liabilities are supposed to be - very heavy. The improvement of 11 per cent. on the Paris Bourse yesterday, and the prospects of a diminution in the demand for silver, have operated favourably on the market for Public Securities, and a large business has been done, at enhanced rates. Consols opened at 93 to 931 for money and the Bth inst., then touched 931 a, and are now about 93 to 93k. For the November account the quotation is 93/ 1. Ex chequer Bills are 7s. to 11s. premium ; and the Bonds are 99 to 99g. East India Bonds have been 99 to 99g. The Foreign Market is exceedingly dull, but most of the securities dealt in are at enhanced rates. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 100 to 100 a, and the 4 per Cents. 101. French 3 per Cents. are 2 prem., and Dutch 2,i per Cents. 64f. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report the market for American Securities during the past week as dull. Transactions in State Bonds have been few ; and the chief business in railway bonds and shares Las bean in those of the Illinois Central. The fol lowing aro the quotations : Reemable. Per Cent.

Constantinople that it in expected the Sublime Porte will guarantee 6 per cent. on the capital of 8,000,0001. for the construc tion of the line from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. Railway shares all considerably advanced in the early part of the day, but they are now rather flatter ; they are still, however, on the average, 10s. to 1/. better. Great Northern A stock has risen 11. to 21., and the Foreign and Colonial mar ket continues dull. The shares of the Ceylon Com pany have improved to 1i premium, owing to the terms proposed for the construction of the line hav ing passed the Legislative Council. Foreign and Colonial Mining Shares are inactive, and prices are nominal. Joint Stock Bank Shares are neglected. Bank of London advanced to 62k, 63, and Union of London were quoted 26. In Miscellaneous Shares the principal feature has been a rise of 10 per cent. in Canada Land Shares, which are now quoted 116 to 117. The Canada Government 6 per Cents. are 112, General Screw Steam 12k, and London Omnibus Com pany 3i. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. ( From the Officio 2 List: Ftw 3 per Cent.

Mr. Editor,—l send you the copy of a letter 1 have addressed to the Editor of the Times ; you will oblige me by inserting it in your valuable journal.—l remain, your obedient servant, Murchistown, Oct. 1, 1856. CHAS. NAPIER. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) JASSY, SEPT. 21. Our time-honoured treaties, the treaty of Pari4, the solemn promises of the Western Powers, and the procla• mations issued by the Turkish Commissioner, Dervish Pacha, at the outset of the last war, are at this moment a dead letter. Our hopes of improvement are vanishing by the hour. The rights of self-government, so long en joyed by the Moldo-Wallachians, are violated by the un. heard-of proceedings of the Porte. Under the rule of the Pnanariote Princes, when the Ministers of the Sultan most interfered in the government of the Principalities, the wishes of the Suzerain were made known by firmans. This form is now dispensed with, and ministerial de spatches take their place. Not content with giving power to the Austro-Russian party, the Porte has deter mined to supersede our old self-governing institutions. The Caimacan has just been authorised by a letter from the Grand Vizier to receive the customary annual grant of 600,000 f. to the Prince. At this very time the reve nue of Moldavia is not equal to 4 millions of francs. A ministerial despatch has been considered a sufficient order to close the Bank of Moldavia, and abolish the liberty of the Press. These encroa2liments on our pri vileges and rights are made at a time when our country is supposed to be consulted on its desires and its wants. We are gagged when we ought to speak. Better, a thousand times, to be a Russian province than a Turkish Pasbalic. Yet this is what the Treaty of Paris has brought us to. As for Austria, she evidently has the noblest part in this drama. England and France have lost torrents of their best blood that Austria may reap the fruits of their victory. The Cabinet of Vienna has just sent her orders to the army of occupation to take up winter quarters in the Principalities. They are overjoyed at this, but little know that they are serving the Russsians better than themselves. Patriotism, in the meanwhile, becomes a bye-word, and we are called ironi cally ice Occidentaux (partisans of the West). " Your Napoleons and Palmerstons are noble friends, are they not ? See what they are doing for you! France and England are holding the noose for you ! " Such is the style in which we are daily railed at by the partisans of despotism. Unfortunately for us, circumstances bear out the truth of these sarcasms. The Star of the Danube and the Zintbro, the only inde pendent and liberal journals in the Principalities, have been suppressed, and a dead silence and stupor prevail. The Constantinople Journal can now assert without fear of contradiction that the Russians reject the idea of an anion. We can only trust in future to the efforts of the independent press of the West to remind the world of the rights which we are losing. We have now no rallying point here, and indignation is now uppermost in every heart. Read the following Turkish despatch. It is the last we have received, and a specimen of what may ye follow : "Excellency,--You will be good enough to suspend the measure passed by the ex-Prince Ghika, and re establish the law upon the press and the censorship in their old form.—(Signed)—FuAD." THE CENTRAL AMERICAN QUESTION. The following account of a separate article in ;he treaty recently concluded between Great Bri ain and Honduras is extracted from a recent number of the Journal of the Society of Arts : "In addition to this Treaty of Friendship, Com merce, and Navigation,' there is a separate article in re ference to the inter-oceanic railway through the State of Honduras, projected by Mr. Squier, late Charge d'Affaires of the United States to the Republics of Central America, which article is to have the same force and validity as if it were inserted word for word in the same treaty. This article is one of very great importance to the commercial world, should Mr. Squier's undertakirg be conducted to a successful issue. A similar article, it is said, will be concluded between theßepublic of Hondn: ras and America, and also between that State and France s By that article the Government of Honduras agrees that the right of way over such road (the inter-oceanic railway), or any other which may be constructed through its territories, from sea to sea, shall be at all times open and free to the Government and subjects of Great Britain, for all lawful purposes whatever. It also agrees that it will not impose any tolls, duties, or charges of any kind on the transit of property belonging to the Government of Great Britain, or on the public mails sent under the authority of the same, nor on the subjects of the British Crown, and also that all lawful produce, manufactures, merchandise, or other property belonging to the subjects of Great Britain, passing from one ocean to the other in either direction, shall be subject to no import or export duties whatever, or to any d,scrininat ing tolls or charges for conveyance on any such road, and shall be secure and protected from all interruption and detention on the part of the said state. It agrees further that any other privilege and advantage, com mercial or other, which is or may be granted to the subjects or citizens of any other country, in regard to any such road, shall be also extended to British subjects; and she likewise engages to establish the Forts at the ex tremities of the contemplated road as free ports, for all the purposes of commerce. In consideration of these concessions, in order to secure the construction and per manence of the contemplated road, and to secure for the benefit of mankind the uninterrupted advantages of such a communication from sea to sea, Great Britain recog nises the rights of sovereignty and property over the line of the said road, and guarantees positively and effi caciously the entire neutrality of the same so long as she shall enjoy the privileges conceded to her. And when the proposed road shall have been completed Great Britain equally engages, in conjunc:ion with Honduras, to protect the same from interruption, seizure, or unjust confiscation, from whatever quarter the attempts may proceed. Nevertheless, Great Britain, in according her protection to the said road, and guaranteeing its neutrality and security when completed, understands that this protection and guarantee are granted conditionally, and may be withdrawn by her, if she should deem that the persons or company undertak ing or managing the same adopt or establish such regu lations concerning the traffic thereupon as are contrary to the spirit and intent of this article, either by making unfair discriminations in favour of the commerce of any nation or nations, or by imposing excessive exactions, or unreasonable tolls upon passengers, vessels, goods, wares, merchandise, or other articles. The aforesaid protec tion, however, is not to be withdrawn without first giv ing six months' notice to the Republic of Honduras." Shr.lPani. RAtt*Ats. Leasik ' Cio.in. "rawl mines.

The Royal Mail ship Donald M'Kay, Captain Henry Warner, belonging to the Black Ball line of Austra lian packets, wilt sail at noon on the sth instant for Melbourne, with the usual bi-monthly mails for the Australian colonies. She is quite full of passengers and cargo. The Donald M'Kay has already made a very successful voyage to and from Melbourne, land• ing her Majesty's mails both in Melbourne and Liver pool in capital time. Her commander has had large experience in the Australian trade, and as his ship is in capital sailing trim there is little doubt he will make a rapid voyage. The Donald M'Kay is the last ship taking her de parture from the Mersey with the Australian mails, the European and Australian Steam Navigation Company, who have obtained the contract, being obliged by the Board of Trade to start their vessels from Southamp ton, although that company represented that Liver pool possessed greater facilities for the despatch of such vessels as the trade required. But this port being at present out of favour with the Board of Trade Southampton has been selected. The new screw steamer Oneida, Captain Hyde—the pioneer of the new line—will, accordingly, start from Southampton on the 18th instant, fur Melbourne and Sydney, with mails, passengers, and light cargo.—lVillmer and Smith's European Times. The New Australian Mail Company have chartered the Simla, one of the fastest steamers belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company. THE LIVERPOOL AND AUSTRALIAN SCREW STEAM SHIP ROYAL CHARTER.—LIVERPOOL, October 2.—This beautiful ship sailed from the Mersey to-day at two o'clock on her second voyage hence to Melbourne. She takes out 462 passengers, of whom 53 are saloon, the remainder being second and third class passengers. She is also fullof cargo, and is said to have refused upwards of 100 passengers from want of room. Since her return from her former voyage her spirited owners have had her overhauled, with a view to increase, if possible, her effi ciency, great as that had previously been proved to be. Two courses of stringers, each 240 feet long, have b een placed in the vessel, and the bow compartments have been filled with strongly riveted breastplates. By this process of tension she is rendered nearly twice as strong as she Was before it. The screw has also been more adapted to the ship's use, and it now lifts completely out of the water. A very unfortunate accident took place last night on board this noble vessel. It appears that the crew, assisted by some of the riggers, were engaged in raising the anchor. From some cause or other the check had been taken out of the ratch of the patent capstaiyind the weight of the anchor being suddenly brought into action, caused such a recoil as to throw the capstan bani about in a terrific manner. Four men were struck over board, two of whom were soon picked up. Six others were very severely injured, one it is feared fatally. The sufferers were brought ashore as quickly as possible, and at once conveyed to the hospital. One, a labourer, had his jaw broken, and received a compound fracture of the skull. He is not expected to survive. A seaman bad his nasal bones broken, and also received a very severe con tusion of the leg. Another seaman received severe contu sions of the back and shoulder. The other three, who were labourers, were very seriously injured—one having his arm broken. At a meeting of the Hungarian Land Company, held to-day, the statement of the committee, which included an epitome of the report of Mr. Caird on the purchase of the Gross-Wardein estato, in Eastern Hungary, was received and ordered to be entered on the minutes. A lengthened discussion took place with regard to the pro priety of carrying out the undertaking, and a motion for its dissolution was negatived by a majority of 190, the reppoctiv e umber of voseij kocipg 1,370 and 13060. LAW INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. tlonunissioner Evans.) IN BE FIEM This bankrnpt was described as of Princ's-street, Storey's-gate, printer, and to-day came up to pass his last examination, on accounts prepared by Mr. May> nard, Bread-street. The balance-sheet, commencing Dec., 1854, and ending Aug., 1856, shows :—Debtor to creditors, 1,2161. 15s. ; liabilities, 1421. ; creditors, secured, 1201. ; Mutual Loan Association, 1551. (secured by policy and bill of sale) ; profit•, 5721. ; surplus, Dec., 1854, 375/. ; do. holding security, 1201. Creditor by good debts, 1081. 4s. 101. ; property given up, 2761. ; furniture sold under bill of sale, 364/. ; property in the hands of creditors, 1351. ; trade expenses, 3161. ; house do., 8671. ; losses, 7551. lls. Under the head of the latter is the following : On the 23d of February, 1855, bankrupt borrowed l of the Mutual Loan Association 2501. on my promis sory note, to be paid by monthly instalments of 121. 18s. 4d., and further secured by a bill of sale on my household furniture, plate, linen, &c., then at Dor set-terrace, Clapham, but now of Prince's-street, West minster, of which there is an inventory. The instal ments were paid up to, and including that due on the 21st July, 1856, on the days they became due, amount ing to 1551. The bill of sale was never on the premises until the 20th of August, 1856 ; and on the 22d of August they took possession of the whole of the furni ture, which was sold by auction, and realised 3641. The association also held a policy of assurance on the life of the bankrupt, effected in 1842 or 1843, for 1,0001., and on which the premium has been paid up to July, 1857. There were no bad debts, and the doubtful debts were only 241. The whole of the losses, therefore, arose on the realisation of the stock and under the bill of sale. Mr. Reed appeared for the assignees, and the bank rupt passed without opposition. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, (This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE. PLAYING ON THE BANJO.—Charles Hutchins and Henry Page, two servants, were charged before the Lord Mayor with robbing Mary Robinson, a servant girl. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix that she bad a holiday the previous day, and went out to enjoy herself. She and a friend repaired to the Bri- tannin, but on arriving there they were unable to gain admittance, aid they went to a public-house opposite, where they saw the two prisoners playing on the banjo. They were much delighted at the music, and after stay ing there some time they rose to depart, when the two prisoners offered to accompany them home, which was accepted. On their way home they called at a public house and had some porter, which prosecutrix paid for because the men had no money. They afterwards went to a coffee shop and had some refreshment, where they re mained until 1 o'clock, when they were turned out. As they were going down Aidgate she felt Page's band at her pocket and she missed her purse. She charged him with robbing her, but he denied it, and his friend offered her two sovereigns not to say anything about it. A police. man coming up at the time, she gave the prisoner into custody. The purse, which contained Si. 186., bad not been found, but a foreign coin that was in it was found upon one of the prisoners. Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)--I suppose you were ou `or an evening's spree Witness (smiling)—Yes, sir. The prisoner denied taking the purse, and said that ,he girls picked them up and stuck to them, and that they were unable to get rid of them. The girls indignantly denied the assertion. The Lord Mayor sent them to prison for two months. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WIFE.—John Morgan, a man employed in looking after offices at 44, Mark-lane, was oharged with a brutal assault yesterday on his wife. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner is a dissolute man, and yesterday, after being out the whole of the previous night, he returned to his home about the middle of the day, and in consequence of his wile having no dinner ready for him, he struck her and kicked her in a most brutal manner. The poor woman's face presented an awful spectacle from his ill-usage, and when persons came to her assistance they found a large pool of blood on the floor. The poor woman said she had been married to the prisoner about five years, and that he had frequently ill-used her, but she had been restrained from feelings of affection towards him from proceeding against him. i The prisoner, in answer to the charge, attempted to vindicate his conduct, and said he wished to be sepa rated from her. A gentleman in court said it had been discovered that ;he prisoner had a second wife living. The Lord Mayor said the prisoner should be separated from his wife for a short time, and sentenced him to six months' imprisonment, and after that to be further imprisoned till he found sureties to keep the peace towards his wife for six months longer. GUILDHALL. Thontas Stevens, porter, of No. 1, Northport-street, Hoxton, and Win. Robinson alias G. Kirk, of No. 44, Hart-street, Covent Garden, wore played at the bar before Sir Peter Laurie on remand, the former charged with stealing various articles the property of his em ployerF, Messrs. Borras and Co., warehousemen, Alder manbury, and the latter with receiving the goods, know ing them to have been stolen. Mr. Buchanan defended Stevens. After hearing some further evidence implicating the prisoners in the robbery they were committed for trial, M A.R LBO ROUG LI-STREET. DARING GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Edward William?, a tall, stout young fellow, was brought before Mr. Bing. bam, charged with the following daring garotte robbery : Thomas Sparkes, a seama❑ residing at No. 5, Tyler's court, Regent-street, stated that last night be met with the prisoner and two other men in a public-house near Leicester-square, whore he treated them with something to drink. Witness was rather fresh at the time, but knew what he was about. After remaining in the public house for Nome time, they adjourned to a coffee-house in Castle-street and partook of some coffee. They then left the house, and directly he got outside he felt quite drunk and stupid, as if he had been drugged. Tie prisoner and the two other men supported him, and after proceeding a short distance down the street they pushed him into a court, and the prisoner seized him by the throat and threw him down, while the other two men rifled his pockets, taking from them a purse containing 2/. 10s., and a silver watch worth 4/. The prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. CONVICTION OF A DANGEROUS THIEF.— WiII. Cabman, aged 18, described as having no trade and no home, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a large quantity of carpenters' tools. It appeared that on the night of Thursday, the 25„h inst., about half-past 10 o'clock, the prisoner was met by police -sergeant John Cleary, No. 8 H, with a large basket of tools on his shoulders, and on being stopped and asked where he obtained them, he eaid that he had just come up from Newcastle-on-Tyne in the Scotch steamboat, that the tools were given to him by his father, who died in that town a month before, and that, being in want of money, he intended to sell the tools. Cleary was not satisfied with this story, and took the prisoner to the station-house, where he repeated his statement, said he courted investigation, and told such a plausible story to the inspector that he was about to be liberated, when Cleary begged that he might be de tained until he made inquiry at the wharves. This proposition was acceded to, and Cleary soon ascert titled that no steamboat had arrived that afternoon from New castle, and this information decided the inspector in detaining the prisoner. This morning four carpenters attended to identify the tools in the basket, and one of them, Tbomas Sparkes, selected 20 different tools from the basket, and said they were his property, and ho had been pat to great inconvenience by the loss of them. Jas. Sparkes identified one tool, and two carpenters recog nised other tools. Cleary said the basket of tools was stolen from a shod in a carpenter's yard, in the Horeferry Branch-road, Ratcliff, on the night he stopped the pri soner. The shed had been repeatedly broken open awl tools and other property stolen. The proprietcr of the s'ied believed the prisoner was connected with a gang of thieves who were contineally pluudeting carpenteri' workshops. The prisoner said he would plead guilty to the charge; and on being asked if -he had anything to say of him self, he said he had been a traveller all over England, Ireland, and Scotland ; that his father died at Newcasti , :', where he was born, a fortnight ago, and that he came up to London in search of work. Mr. Yardley was afraid the prisoner was telling lies, and he had no doubt be belonged to that dangerous class of thieves who were continually stealing work - inen's tools and breaking into carpenters' workshop'. lie sent ence d th e pr i soner to b e i mpr i son ed for 6 months in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour. SOUTHWARK. DARING WATCH ROBBERY AT THE BRIGHTON AND 0/107J)QX RAILIYAT Txakuzio,-740101 Maw s a well• known and expert thief, infesting the Lletropolitan. rail. Way stations, was brought before Mr. Combo, charged with stealing a valuable watch and chain from the per. Fon of Luke Woodward, at the Croydon Railway Ter. _ win riF, London-b r id ge . - Thc prosecutor, a powerful-looking gentleman, stated that on Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, he waa in the booking-office of the Croydon Railway Station, waitibg for his ticket to proceed to Croydon fair. There were several hundred persons there at the time, and while he was stooping over to the booking clerk the prisoner pushed against him very roughly, and snatched his watch from his waistcoat pocket, breaking the chain. Witness immediately caught hold of him, and struck him on the head, completely stunning him, so that he MAS ea-ily captured and handed over to the custody of the police. The prisoner, who exhibited a bruise near the ri g . ht eye, here said that he thought the gentleman had sttS• ciently punished him. He hoped his worship would t alta that into consideration in awarding him his imprison ment. Mr. Combo asked what was known of him I Thomas Richards, a detective constable in the employ of the Brighton and South Coast Railway Company, said he knew the prisoner to be a reputed thief, and that he belonged to a desperate gang infesting the rail way station. On Thursday afternoon witness was on duty about the terminus, and just before the Croydon train started he 133 W the prisoner pushing among the crowd. At the same time a Brighton train was about to start, so that nearly 300 persons were collected together. Witness saw the prisoner snatch the gen tleman's watch, but before he could make his way to the spot the prosecutor knocked him down, and while the prisoner was scrambling up with the watch and chain in his hand he took him into custody. Mr. Combe asked whether he had seen him at the railway terminus before ? . . _ Witness replied that he had, and warned him. away. Several robberies were committed at the station, and it was a difficult job to keep the thieves away. The prisoner said he did not want any more j aw about tho affair. He did snatch the gentleman's watch , and his intention was to prig it. Mr. Combe—Then you plead guilty t Prisoner—Yes, sir ; I am guilty. Mr. Combe—This is a very impudent robbery, and shall commit you to the HoEse of Correction for six months. Prisoner—Well, that's a clincher. (Laughter.) MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EX(11-1,A.NGE.

Mr. E litor,—lf your Special Correspondent bad taken the trouble to examine the chart of Cronstadt, which a sensible and honest man ought to have done before he attacked me, he would have seen that the north of Cron stadt could only be approached by gun and mortar boats with a light draught of water, not one of which I bad. He would also have seen that the passage to the north (which was never navigable for large ships) was protect. ed by a barrier, supported by S or 10 block ships, up wards of 100 gun-boats, several steamers, and the boats of 20 sail of the line. Your Special Correspondent says—" The Russians were perfectly aware that the northern side could be forced, and that it was quite possible for a determined enemy to run past the forts, most of which were con structed in arcs of spheres, having their maximum amount of guns available for an enemy passing their right flank." Now, Mr. Editor, the Russians knew perfectly well that the passage to the north was not practicable for large ships, and there were no batteries constructed in arcs of spheres. To the north it was barred, as I have already described, and only could have been attacked by gun and mortar boats of light draught of water ; and this I stated to the Admiralty in 1354, and was compli• mented on what they were pleased to term my very able report. In 1355, when Admiral Dundag appeared off, they had in the winter of 1854-5 constructed another barrier outside of the shoal water, to further protect the north ; and though he found a passage through the piles in his gig, he did not venture to attack the north of Cronstadt with the gun-boats he had at his disposal. Why he was not furnished with more, the Admiralty can best answer ; they had a year for consideration. In 1856, when I was at Cronstadt, they had constructed a third barrier right across, protected by five batteries, which rendered all attack on the north impossible, Had the Admiralty, in the autumn of 1853, well ex amined the north of Cronstadt, they would have known that gun and mortar boats were the only means of attacking it with success ; and if I could make such a report from a reconnaissance from the sea in 1854, a much better one might have been made from the north wall in 1853. You have done everything in your power, Mr. Editor, since the 4th of October, 1854 (the day on which the hoax of Sebastopol arrived in England), to ruin my re putation ; but I think you have failed, and your Special Correspondent has put you deeper in the mire. I remain, your obedient servant, Merchi.town, Oct. 1, 1856. Cues, NAPIER. THE GERMAN LEGION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l read with much pleasure your admirable article in last evening's paper on " Military Colonisa- tion," and quite concur in your views " that the offer ought first to have been made to Englishmen," for even had they declined it the Government could then have had recourse to the Foreign Legions ; but from my ex perience I am certain there would have been no difficulty in obtaining plenty of men equally " trained to arms" as the German o mps, who would have been glad to have embraced the opportunity. I refer to the regiments of disembodied militia, for on the arrival of the order for disembodiment of the regiment I served in I inquired of a number of men how they liked the prospect of being again thrown on their own resources, but the majority replied that "now they had once adopted a military life they would rather continue it even though it were on foreign service."

ART GOSSIP. MONUMENT TO THE BRIGADE OF GUARDS.—The officers of the brigade of Guards propose to raise a monument to the officers and men of the brigade who have fallen in the late struggle. According to the terms of the meeting at which the project was discussed, the monument is likely to be on a grand scale. The officers have already appointed a committee to see it carried out, with Sir Alexander Woodford at its head. Mr. HOLFORD'S HOUSE in Park lane is completed exteriorly. Its palatial grandeur and perfect harmony of parts reflect great credit to its owner and to its archi tect, Mr. Vulliamy, while it worthily adorns the site it occupies. Its interior decorations are, we are happy to hear, to be entrusted to an Englishman—tha talented Mr. Stevens "of Kensington," MONUMENT TO SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.—The Mayor and Corporation of Lincoln are taking measures to erect a monument to Sir John Franklin, the hero and chief victim in the dreary Arctic episode of our day. MONUMENT TO LORD ORMONDE.—Mr. Richardson has just completed an elaborate and beautiful tomb and recumbent statue to be erected to the memory of the late Lord Ormonde. It will be placed in the family vault in the Cathedral Church, Kilkenny.

STRAND THEATRE. The announcement of a new burlesque at this theatre ever deserves a full attendance of the admirers of that class of dramatic literature. The SUCCV9 of Mr. Dillon in "Belphegor,"at the Lyceum, has induced the managa ment of the Strand to seize on the subject for this last novelty. To say that " Belphegor" provei as success ful as any of its predecessors hardly conveys an idea of the shouts of laughter and applarse that are elicited by the many quips and cranks, puns and personalities with which it abounds. Mr. Leicester Buckingham, who now appears for the first time as a burlesque writer, has succeeded to admiration, and the unequivocal success of this his first effort will doubtless encourage him to fol low up " Belphegor" with many othe rs . Th e p l ot o f " Belphegor" is necessarily deviated from to some extent, but the main features are preserved. Miss Cuthbert, who represents the Mountebank, gi ves a somewhat pathetic rendering of the trials and sufferings of Pail lasse, following the example set by Robson, of rendering the tragic phases of the character conspicuous. Mr. Henry Turner, as M adeline ; Mr. Cl ar k e, the vil lain of the piece ; Miss Th irlwall , as an opera singer ; and Mrs. Woollridge, as an ex-prima-donna, secured an entire success, which was greatly enhanced by the music by Mr. Chambers, and some capital scenery by Mr. Herbert. 24 26 , I " Belphegor" bids fair to run to Christmas. 7 - 8 - - I - 9 - 11 23 - 25 6 - 8 13 - 2 3k - 3i 1 - 13 31 - 41 34 - 4 i - i .5 - 6~ 110 - 115 ►llf 112 lk - 2 5i - 5j 6 -- i 6 .1 -- 13 .•• ••• • - -- 126 - 13 3 - 34- 8 3i - 4f A - A P -- 1 - 13 -4 ip 21 -- a 2 d I # i P P 24 21 68 70 44 7 5 p 1. : 2 3 tP6 1 t 1 WEST HARTLEPOOL, Sept. 30.—The American-built clipper-ship King Philip has just arrived at this port for the purpose o' being docked and fitted with the auxiliary screw.

Both these vessels are reported to be remarkably fast sailers, and both are very fine specimens of naval architecture. The Royal Belgian mail steam-s'iip Constitution, th e arr i val of which was noticed in The San some weeks ago, is still here. She has been thoroughly overhauled and sur veyed, and is expected to leave for Antwerp in the ceurse of a few days. Prior to her departure for New York she will take 1,000 tons of coals on board at this port. The Constitution will shortly ho followed by the Leopold, and ultimately, as occasion may require, by the whole of the ships forming this new and important line. PREDICTED FALL OF NAPOLEON lII.—In the auto biography of a Wesleyan minister, just issued iu Ca , nada, we notice the following calculation, which is very corious. It was communicated by a Frenchman to en English friend. Fall of Robespiei re in the year 1794. Repeat 1794 in single figures, and add the whole, and you have the fall of Napoleon 1. , 1815. Repeat as be fore, and you have the fall of Charles X., 1830. Repeat and you have the fall of the Duke of Orleans, 1842. Repeat, and you have in this year, Louis Napoleon will fall, 1857.

Nearly the whole of the supply of beasts in to .day's market were the refuse of Monday, and in very middling condition. The beef trade ruled heavy, and prices were barely supported. We were but scantily supplied with sheep; nevertheless, all breeds moved off slowly, at Mon- day's currency. There was a fair number of calves in the market, and the veal trade was depressed, at a farther decline in value of 2d per 8 lbs. Pigs moved off steadily, at full prices.
