Mr. Read, solicitor for the Manchester and Paris creditors, informed the meeting that he had filed a petition in Bankruptcy, and there was no reason why lls. in the pound should not be very soon paid. During the week a fair amount of business has been transacted in American Securities at steady 19' prices until to day, when symptoms of depression were apparent. Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite, in his circular, states that-" The market in London for American Securities has been very good during the past week, and large purchases made at advanced rates. This firmness was fairly maintained up to this afternoon, when, on its being reported that the Secessionist Commissioners, Messrs. Mason and Slidell, had been _forcibly taken from an English mail steamer by a Federal man-of-war, quotations became very regular." Very little fluctuation has taken place in the market for Public Securities to-day, but the ten dency has been favourable, Consols ;having realised 931 e for transfer, and 92 1, less tie dividend for the sth proximo.

Re would not, and no Englishman would, advocate Putting up with insult; but, in the present case, let him -ask, what had the Americans done? [Mr. C hapman —They fired a shot across the bows of the mail steamer to bring her to, and as she did not stop for that they fired a swell at her, which burst close -by-I:or. (Tremendous cheers.) Torr proceeded to say that there was every reason to avoid coming to a, hasty resolution, and, in thank ing the meeting for the patience with which they had heard him—(loud and ironical cheers)—he again urged on those present to consider the mat ter _ calmly and dispassionately, and not to be car ried away by the impulse of feeling in a case which required mature judgment and calm deliberation. A. letter had been shown to him by a Southern geatleman, in which it was stated as a positive fact that the law o ffi cers of the Crown had, in anticipa tion,egtalie;iressed a decided opinion in favour of the of a proceeding similar to that which had Just taken plate in regard to the Trent by the San Jacinto. Mr. J. TURNER nett attempted to address the meeting to the same effect as had been done by Mr. Torr and Mr. Campbell, but the feeling of those Present was so decidedly opposed to that view that he was forced to desist. ence FAO& .. - " A im."---.

The master of the schooner states :—" The gale increasing with great violence, I found my vessel dragging fast; hoisted signals of distress about 3.30 p.m. on Monday; Ves sel still dragging with three anchors; got the boat out, ready to leave her, having placed clothing in the boat. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution came alongside, in answer to a signal of distress, about 4.15, and myself and crew (five in all) got into her. Not knowing how things might turn out, I was very glad to be taken off the vessel, it being meat probable if the storm continued that she would have been wrecked, in which case the only means of escape would have been by our own boat, and as we could not have pulled her against the wind, we should have had to land to leeward, on a rocket' shbre, which could only have been done with great danger. (Signed) Christopher Little." This valuable lifeboat has been the means, during the past few years in rescuing the following shipwrecked crews—Smack, Jabez, of Greenock, 4; lugger, Queen of the Isle, 4; brig, Opreisingen, of Arundel, 3 ; barque, Ohio, of Liverpool, 4 ; lugger, Nim rod, of Castletown, 3 ; and schooner, Eliza Ann, of Dub lin, 5 ; total, 23. A communication from Frankfort, in the Augs burg Gazette, states that the declaration made by the Go • verameut of Electoral Hesse, relative to the proposition of L the Government of Baden on the question of the Constitu' lion, forms no less than 17 pages of folio print.

(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) The cases in this court were entirely unfit for publication. George Inkpen was indicted for the wilful murder of Margaret Edmonds. It will be recollected the prisoner and the deceased, a domestic servant, kept company together, and that on the evening of the 11th of November they both jumped into the Surrey Canal at Deptford, tied together with a boot lace. The female was drowned, but the prisoner by some means preserved his life. The facts have already appeared at length in The Sun. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Mary Hollis was indicted for feloniously stabbing, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. _ _ _ From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had a quarrel with the prosecutrix, and eventually stabbed her in the head with a long instrument resembling a butcher's steel. The jury found her guilty. _ _ The Common Sergeant told the prisoner she ought to be thankful she had not committed a murder. He k entenced her to 12 months' imprisonment. CHARGE OF BIGAMY. A respectably dressed man, named Burnham, was in dicted for bigamy. George Wells pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging him with'maliciously setting fire to a haystack. The prisoner, according to statements of the police-con stable, bore a very bad character. Ile had on a former occa sion absconded, after robbing his employer and fellow workmen. _ _ _ The Common Sergeant said the prisoner had been guilty of an offence for which his life was forfeited. The gentle man whose property had been destroyed had never done the slightest injury to the prisoner. Under all the circum stances of the case he felt it his duty to sentence the pri soner to six years' penal servitude. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE MAD ENGLISIL—Roman models are a loqua cious race, they will not pose to an artist who does not en courage them in full freedom of discourse, and it must be conceded that they talk well and readily. Their conversa tion is always amusing, often interesting and suggestive. Tales of brigand life, ancient legends, and—when the door i s shut, and they think they are not overheard—many cdd stories about the authorities too. They can also tell us much about ourselves that will be new to us. Antonio informs me that all English are mad ; w© have the fires a t Purgatory always burning within us. Don't the Padre tell him so? This is why we roll about in a tub a t water every morning to cool eur burning vitals. I lia hearers know that it is an insult to an Italian l a Wash him.

Then, Antonio co ntinues, Englishmen keep horses and dog s as mad as th emselves, and they ride cut dressed in the very colour of tile flames of purgatory, to run screaming and shouting after poor foxe s over th e Clampagna, notwithstanding that the holy Father has strictly forbidden that sort of insanity. a nd placed papal gendarmerie purposely to stop it ; but who ..esn. stop mad men on mad horses ?

DARING STREET ROBBERY.—Fanny Gordon and Eliza beth Montague, two prostitutes, were charged before Mr. Yardley with the following robbery : Robert Guillot, pianoforte tuner, of 4, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, said that on the previous night, between 11 and 12, he was on his way home from Brompton, and when at the corner of Clifford-street the prisoners came up to him, and Montague tried to put her arm round his neck, while the other seized his arm. He succeeded in getting away from them, and after going about six yards they again came after him and acted in a similar manner, and he then missed his breast-pin from his scarf, it being firmly fixed in just before. He had heard that Montague said she meant either to have his watch or the "swag." The prisoners asserted that prosecutor was with another female when they first saw him, but this he swore was not true. 35 C said the prisoners both gave false addresses. Inspector Webb said there had been numerous robbeties of a similar kind of late. Mr. Yardley said if any further evidence should bo forth coming it could be produced at the sessions. STEALING MARKED MONEY.—George William Salter was charged with robbing his employer of some marked money. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Groat Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. John Keeril, cheesemonger, of 273, Oxford-street, said, having found a deficiency in his cash, and had sus picion of prisoner, owing to his extravagant conduct, he on Tuesday markedsome money, and put it in the till. After prisoner had served a customer he (?Ir. Keeril) went to the till and missed a marked half-crown. Last night he marked eight half-crowns, and directed an officer to watch prisoner, and in consequence of what the officer told him he missed a marked half-crown and a shilling. He then called the officer (Sergeant Cole) in, and he found on the prisoner the marked half-crown, and two purses contain ing money—nearly £4. Prisoner said, "I'll own to it, sir," but had before said ho had the coin in change. In answer to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Keeril said prisoner had been in his employ for 10 months as clerk, and he had a good character with him, or would not have taken him. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, proved watching the prisoner, and finding marked coin on him, and the prisoner saying he " did not take it for himself, but for his father," and that the first time he took any was a fortnight before. Found two rings and two watches. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner would plead guilty, he be- lieyet4 Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. `Lewis said he had too muck reason to believe he had been led into it through going to places of amusement of a night, Ho had always been found to be well behaved, but had ntiiiirttmately fallen into extravagant habits. Mr. KeeFil said he paid prisoner £3O a-year and board and lodgings: Mr. Lewis said the p - rimotteOs Merids, if he were leniently dealt with, would take care of him. Witnesses having been called by Mr. Lewis to speak to the prisoner's character, and to state that prisoner's father was in bad circumstances, Mr. Yardley said he suspected it had been going on fora long time. He looked on it as a serious offence, especially as prisoner had been placed in a situation of trust, and paid well and treated with indulgence. It was everynody's duty to resist temptation. There was not the slightest excuse for him, and therefore he should commit him for six months with hard labour. 11Ela'r,RT. PUBLIC MEETING—(TIIIS DAY.) A large public meeting of noblemen and gentlemen was held thl , day at 'Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, for the purpose of adopting such measures as may result in an appropriate memorial to the late lamented Lord Herbert His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge presided on the occasion, and amongst the noblemen and gentlemen on the platform were — General Sir John Burgoyne, Viscount Palmerston, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl Granville, Earl Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, Sir G. C. Lewis, the Rev. G. R. Gleig (Chaplain-General), Earl Cardigan, Bishop of Ox ford, Lord Henry Lennox, Hon. W. Cowper, Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Mr. Headlam (the Judge Advocate), Mr. S. C, Hall, Colonel B. Cuffage (Royal Artillery), Mr. Du Cane, M.P., Sotheron-Estcourt, M.P,, and Thomson liankey, M.P. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in opening the meeting, said he could only say he felt gratified in being ,urrounded by so large and influential a meeting. Some time after the death of the late Lord. Herbert, he was waited upon by some friends to ascertain whether he would object to pre side at a meeting like the present. Before giving his consent, he consulted the noble lord at the head of the Government, and that noble lord at once urged him to do as be was requested. He felt the present assembly had met together without the slightest political object; for had it been otherwise, he as a soldier should not have been present. (Cheers.) During his acquaintance with the late deceased nobleman be enter tained the highest personal regard for him. (Cheers.) There were those around him who had had the honour and privilege of his acquaintance for a much longer time than he had, and to those noblemen and gentlemen he would leave the resolutions. He had known Lord Herbert long enough to find that he was a man of indomitable energy, and his labours for the improvement of the British army were of inestimable value. By improving that army a great benefit was conferred on the country; indeed, so great was it, that it was impossible amply to repay it. He would not detain them, by occupying their time, further than to say that a more disinterested public servant never existed than the late deceased nobleman, whose memory they were assembled to perpetuate. (Cheers.) He would now call upon Lord Palmerston to move the first resolution. (Cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON (who was received with loud cheer big) said he had been called upon to move the first resolu tion, which was—" That this meeting desires to express its deep sense of the loss which has befallen this country by the untimely death of Lord Herbert, and is anxious to pay a fitting tribute to his eminent public services as a Minister and a Statesman, and to the self sacrificing zeal with which he discharged his different duties." The late Lord Herbert, he need scarcely observe in such an assem blage as that, was one whose great aim and object was to further the glory of this country and the happiness of his fellow-man. (Cheers.) By the death of so highly dis tinguished a public servant the country had sustained a loss that would long be felt. As a public man Lord Herbert was looked upon with confidence and respect, and in the House of Commons he Was ever listened to with the greatest attention, and in the course of the many brilliant displays of his eloquence he evinced a knowledge of the most comprehensive character; and in the course of any of his remarks, when he was called upon to touch sarcastically the arrows of his wit, though sharp and telling, were never tipped with gall. (Cheers.) llis manly bearing showed the high lineage from whence he came ; end he bore his honours with a meekness that was extraordinary.' In the House of Commons his loss had never been filled, and now, when he had altogether passed from this life, the country had lost a devoted ser vant and the British soldier a firm and unflinching advo cate and friend. (Cheers.) The many benefits he had, in conjunction with Miss Nightingale—(immense cheers — secured for the soldier, had gained for him the affection of all classes; and now that they were called upon to perpe tuate his memory, he felt it would be done in a manner worthy of a great country, and worthy a groat people who had reaped the benefits of his skill and intellect. (Loud cheers.) General FEEL said he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He had long enjoyed the friendship of the late Lord Herbert, and a more sincere and attached friend to the soldiers of the British army never existed. His great ob ject was always the improvement of their condition, and up . to nearly his latest hour that work was uppermost in his mind. His Royal Highness, the CnAinmaisr, then put the re solution, which was carried amidst loud applause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the second resolution, which was as follows :--That a subscription be raised for the purpose of erecting a statue, and also the endowment of exhibitions and gold medals in conn ection with the army medical schools at Chatham, to be awarded to those who show the greatest knowledge of the best means of preserving the health of troops in barracks and in the field. Those, said the hon. gentleman,who knew the late Lord Herbert best could not estimate his loss. He was ever a most wise and prudent counsellor, and though in his public and political life he was thrown in contact with those who differed from him, yet he never heard that he had made an enemy. He was a noble, kind, and generous man, and his memory, he was sure, would always be treasured up by every one who took an interest in the welfare of the British soldier. (Cheers.) The resolution having been seconded was carried unani- mously. Other resolutions nominating a committee to carry out the intentions of the meeting having been agreed to, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to his Royal Highness for his presiding over the meeting that afternoon. THAMES. A PAINFUL INVESTIGATION.—James Connell, a brutal• looking ruffian, who was called a dock ranger, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with criminally assaulting Mary Ann Oxford, a child aged six years. The victim of the prisoner's most infamous crime was carried into court in its mother's arms in a state of great suffering, The prisoner had for some time lodged in the house No. 28, Charles-street, Bromley. In the same house there dwelt a respectable mechanic, his wife, and three children. Mrs. Oxford had treated the prisoner as a brother, because he had on many occasions exhibited great kind ness to her little ones, and shared his meals with them, and he had also assisted in nursing two of the children when they were laid down with the measles. He look advantage of the confidence reposed in him to assault and pollute the child. She had repeatedly screamed and complained of illness. On Sunday last her sufferings induced the mother to examine her child, and sbe made a discovery which horrified her and induced her to question the girl, who related that the prisoner had assaulted and injured her. Mr. Robinson, a surgeon, had sub jected the prisoner and the child to a surgical examination. Both were afflicted with a loathsome disease. Charles Abbott, a police-constable, 322 K, said he took the prisoner into custody last night in the Royal Charlie public-house in Poplar, and he said to Mrs. Oxford, who was present, "What a bad woman you are to give me into custody, I never hurt your child, except five months ago when I fell down upon the child." The prisoner said that was an accident, and cross examined Mrs. Oxford with great assurance, imputing to her that she had acted with great cruelty to her children, and that she and her husband wished him to commit per jury. Mrs. Oxford, a most excellent wife and mother, repu diated the insinuations of the prisoner with scorn and con tempt, and said she loved her children too well to use them cruelly. Mr. Selfe said the afflicted child could not be sworn, and that in all cases of this kind it was but fair to the person charged, and also to the person charging, that before coin ing to the police court the parties should be confronted. It would materally elicit the truth and assist the ends of jus tice. He then remanded the prisoner until Friday, the 6th of December. LITERA7URE. Elements of the German Langzuzge. By Friedrich Otto Froembling ; Ist part. D. Nutt, Strand, 1860. German has become of late years, and deservedly, a part of good education. Besides its obvious uses, it shares with Latin, and more than equally, in the formation of our language; in so far at least that the greater part of its words have their etymolo logical representatives in English. Its claims are great, therefore, independently of purely literary, commercial, or travelling uses. Hence the large number of elementary books for teaching it. Mr. Froembling's little work is the result of experience of the practical wants of children who receive two or three lessons a week in Ge rman. It will be a great help to both teacher and taught in the first es sential steps. It gives the child sufficient, but not too much, for him to master thoroughly each time, and simplicity is studied throughout. As parts are to follow for more advanced classes, in which minuter details will be given, in this part special care seems to be taken not to distract the child's attention from what is most necessary to be thoroughly graven on the memory. We sincerely commend this first part as practical, simple, and well adapted to beginmers. ALLEGED FORGERY BY A CLERGYMAN.—An ap plication, we understand, has been made to the East Riding magistrates sitting in petty sessions at Bridlington, for a warrant against a clergyman residing in the neighbourhood on the charge of forgery. The application was to be heard by adjournment yesterday, and we have not heard the result. The facts are not yet known, but the case is one which is likely to create considerable interest throughout the county,—,Las .11terafry. - : ,: EffitliduN MINES. - - 20 Australiter 7ll i c t = 1 BonAccord Copper,Limi•/7.6 id I 20 Brazil St.J.del Rey,Lim 15 51 52 5 Do.

A double murder was, the day before yesterday, perpetrated in the Faubourg St. Germain. Mine. C--, the wife of a brigadier of the sergens de vile, kept a small eating-house in the Rue St. Placide, and was assisted by her niece, a girl about 10 years of age. In the afternoon a relative of tho husband called on him, and, after a short time, they went out together. On the brigadier's return he was surprised to see neither his wife nor his niece, and, on going into the kitchen, was horrorstruck at finding both of them lying dead on the floor, each of them having received wounds from a sharp instrument, and their heads being almost severed from their bodies. The suspicion of the husband immediately fell on a young man who came every day, about the same hour, to take a basin of soup, and whom he had left sitting at a table when he went out. Knowing his address, he went, with some other police agents, and there found proofs that his suspicions were cor rect, for the young man, although he had had time to change his clothes, had not washed his hands, which were still smeared with blood. Nhen taken into custody, the man confessed his guilt, and also that he had taken a sum of 1,500 f. from a cupboard. POLISII NATIONALITY.—The committee recently appointed to arrange for a public meeting for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the people of Poland, and protesting against the inhuman and brutal excesses of the Russians, have arranged for the meeting to be held in the Whittington Club, on Friday next. Lord Ferraoy, M-P-, will preside, and several members of Parliament and other gentlemen have promised to attend. The recent news from Warsaw invests the proceedings with great interest. Mr. De So ] sky has left Fenton o Hotel for Der451:140, '.fi-2L'. L7' Yt3 Y - 11E .8.811'145'11 11L4U OW TILE ,HONEY 1141iX 1: -4 , ---- The 11C-Ws of the aggression upon the Royal Mail Company's steamer Trent, by the United States' ship of war San Jacinto, produced an indescribable effect in the city yesterday morning• It transpired about the middle of the day, up to which time oa almost m after n s eat feweincredible, the English f un d s h a d s h own neat buoyancy, and er c m dein o b n tl ii e e : F nts, during which it was deemed th r e o result on lt i on th t e h r e o f w un as ds a w r a a s ll a y fa o l f l nearly a half per cent., but the market closed with a very unsettled appearance, although the precise d an et a ails i o t f oise the point act, h which te ngfooalries with calculated it w hio to incr ill ease to be regarded, had not up to that hour been published. The opening quotation of Consols for the account was 92ri ex dividend, at which there were after wards buyers. At one o'clock the notice from the Royal nail Company began to circulate, and a rapid fall ensued to 911. An impression was then encouraged that the particulars of the transaction would, on their receipt, probably show some fea tures of mitigation, :and, as several of the parties by whom speculative sales had been effected were disposed to realise their profit, a recovery ensued to 92 to 1. A large portion of the public, however, continued to regard the act in the worst light , as a confirmation of the indications so long given by Mr. Seward of his desire to involve this country in a collision at any cost. Nevertheless, an unanimous confidence is expressed that our Government on this, as on former occasions, will maintain the national dignity too well to be betrayed into irrita tion, and will pursue with the most literal exacti tude whatever course may be indicated by the pre cedents of international law and the natural rules for the comity of nations. Although no one in the city to-day has been able to con ceive it possible for any United States' warrant to be served on board a British ship for the capture of peaceable passengers not charged with any re cognized crime, the Cabinet will be fully supported even in tolerating that act, provided it can be shown to be in conformity with the reciprocal law between the two nations, or the nations of the world gene rally. On the other hand, should the proceeding be found unquestionably illegal, there will be no limit to the energy with which the country will respond to the demand for the requisite means for obtaining instant satisfaction, and upholding the common principles that regulate and render possible the in , tercourse of mankind. The Liverpool cotton market this afternoon closed in the midst of great uncertainty and agitation, the possibility of events that may lead to a speedy rais ing of the present imperfect blockade of the cotton ports being among the contingencies recognized by the operators. Great attention was aroused in Mincing-lane yesterday by the fact of the news of the attack on the Trent having arrived at a period when the market for saltpetre had been singularly affected by some recent transactions on American account. Since Friday last about 3,000 tons of saltpetre have been purchased on terms which have caused a rise of from 36s to 40s per cwt. This quantity is about equal to the entire stock in London, and, as there was nothing in the position of the article to lead to the expectation of any particular movement, the affair caused surprise and curiosity. The buyers gave out that, enormous as the quantity was, no portion of it was likely to be thrown back upon the market, and it now appears that they were acting for the Federal Government. As the whole-could not be procured on :the spot, a portion had to be bought for arrival ; but the greatest urgency has been manifested to obtain immediate delivery of as much as possible, and about 1,000 tons are under stood to bo at this moment loading from London, while shipments are likewise being hurried off from Liverpool. Meanwhile a further advance has oc curred, and the price now asked is 435. Looking at the state of affairs now known, the remark this after noon has been such that a sudden and, under ordi nary circumstances, improvident mode of buying seems to denote that the intention of offering an out rage to England, such as might render it difficult to obtain supplies hereafter, was the cause of the hasty despatch of this extraordinary order. Under any circumstances it is now assumed to be likely that the British Government will summarily prohibit the clearance of such contraband of war. It has also become known that for several months past large quantities of rifles and other fire-arms,. amounting to some hundred thousand, have been shipped hence to the United States under the designation "hard ware," and that the business is still going on. henceforth, however, the public will not be satis fied unless the most stringent measures are taken to prevent this breach of neutrality in favour of the Northern belligerents. At Lloyd's yesterday in cousequence of the news by La Plata, war risks of five guineas were de manded on vessels from New York. ..t Uoyal Mail Company in their Mexican and interco• lonial service, and at the time of her stoppage was on the way to St. Thomas, to transfer her passen gers and freight to La Plata, for England. She is registered 1,856 tons, with 430-horse power. — Times City Article. THIS DAYS MARKETS.

The city of Frankfort has declared to the Diet that for the future it can no longer support the expenses of keeping up the Federal garrison, which are not defrayed by the respective States, as a resolution of the Legislative Body is opposed to it. Advices from Turin state that Garibaldi has determined to take a more openly active part in the affairs of his country. It is said that he will be at Genoa on the 15th December, to be present at the meeting of the Com mittee of Precaution, formed under his immediate influence, and of which ho is president. It is thought that he will afterwards proceed to Turin, and resume his seat in the Chamber of Deputies. ~___._ 1
