L i 7 ON EY 4/.4, MARKE has-, r.7O.7itiVIERCI iNTELLI C ENO ;;ITI . Two The Liverooo) Cotton Markt - ±t yesterday closed steadily, at full prices. The sales were about 8,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation and for export. The Railway Share Market closed with a dull aspect. Commercial advices from St. Petersburg of the 3d inst. state that the markets for produce opened with firmness this month, especially for tallow. holders of this article were asking 155 roubles per cerkowitz, for delivery, while buyers were not in clined to give more than 153 r., but the former would not give way. A sale of 7,000 poods for delivery in October and November was effected at 4r. 43 kop. to 4r. 45 kop. per pood. The market for oleaginous grain was equally firm at 10 to ICO-, roubles per tchetwert for linseed. At Riga the accounts from the districts where this grain is pro duced were very satisfactory, and the harvest is expected to prove good in quality, and abun dant. The prices demanded by the producers are rather higher than purchasers are inclined to give, and consequently there are not many transactions. Buyers offer 91 to 91 1 silver roubles per tchetwert, and it is expected that their terms will be accepted. The state of trade generally in the Baltic as the season verges towards its close is prosperous, and great activity is seen, at the ports of St. Peters burg and Riga. At the same time the disturbed condition, of the continental money markets has limited the number of cash transactions. The exchanges are high, and rule at 6i to 6-15 r. at St. Petersburg on London, for 3 months date. The Bank of England Return, just published, is certainly unsatisfactory, but far less so than rumour had described it. The demand for money has evi dently been very severe, and the various changes exhibited in the Reserve of Notes and the Bullion fully account for the recent restrictive measures adopted at the Bank of England. As far as can be ascertained at present the next statement is likely to exhibit a further declension in both these items, otherwise the refusal to grant loans on Stock, Ex- 2 chequer Bills excepted, would not have been re- solved upon on Th urs d a y l as t. T he payment of 1 the dividend on Bank Stock accounts for the de- 1 cline in the Rest. In the Private Deposits there is a large falling off, but the Other Deposits have 3 increased.

D. Powles in the chair. The chairman stated that the object of the meeting was to show the present position of the company. During the four months end ing July at Santa Ana Mines the profits for four months ending J u l y were est i mated at 24,474 dole, At Mar mato the profits were 3,614 dole. At Purina the loss was 3,103 dole. He (the chairman) expected that by January next they would have about 5,0001. applicable for a dividend. He (the chairman) then proposed that the sum of 5001. per annum be awarded to the directors of the company. After a very stormy discussion it was a9reed to adjourn the consideration of the question until January next. MINES.—The state of the money market, with the scarcity of gold, and the difficulty of obtaining loans, even upon Government securities, have had their influ ence upon mining this week, and our market has not been in a very lively or active state. Nothing new or exciting has turned up in the mining districts, and shares, except in a few instances, have scarcely sustained our last quotations. Business transactions, also, have been confit , ed to fewer mines. Great Alfred shares opened at 104 to 111, but the price was not long maintained, and they left off, after various fluctuations, at 10 to 10! ; Great South Tolgus have been mostly in demand, and Prices very firm, at 12 to 12 t li ; Basset, 275 to 280 ; East Basset, 45 to 46, buyers ; Sortridp have been rather largely dealt in, at 31 to 31 ; Lady Bertha p r o t 1 ; for Mary An n a good demand has existed, and pices keep firm, at 37 4 to 384 ; Trelawny also more inquired for, and but few sellers ; Grambler and St. A uhyn, 80 to 85 ; Gondurrow, 140 to 145, buyers ; Buller, 275 ; South Prances, 350 to 360 ; Wheal Edward shares have advanced to 38, 3R ; Wheal Margery, 35 to 36 ; Hing eton Down, 3i ; Par Console, 23 to 23i ; No r th Bas set, 37 to 38 ; West Basset, 314 to 32. ; Grenville 1 ; ,4.lfred Coe:lois, 15 to 154,—IlliniV104rnca of this day. fK 0 [Of) 10 lki '2O 20 k Ai ft TN „ r .

Scarcely has the excitement attendant on the late fatal accident in tha City, occasioned by the falling of a house subsided, than another has occurred almost as startling as the former. The F.: cene of the pre.3ent accident is in Bishopsgate• strect, and for a considerable period the most interno excitement existed in the neighbourhood, from the num ber of men it was known must have been buried in the ruin,, and who, it was feared, must have been crushed to death. It appears that about two months since the house in question, situate at 191, Bishopsgate, and then occupied by Mr. Warrener,an extensive toy-merchant, was nearly consumed by fire ; and since that time it has been undergoing thorough and substantial repairs by Messrs. Cubitt, the eminent builders, of Grey's-inn-road, and for that purpose a large number of hands have been engaged on the premises. This morning the men resumed their work as usual, and continued withcut any indications of danger till about eleven o'clock. Much of the old house was re moved, such as the outer walls, floors, and back wall, though materially damaged by the late catastrophe. In the course of the work it was necessary to use great cau tion, and in order to properly carry the third floor it was found necessary to put in fresh girders. That was par tially accomplished. One end of ono of them being fixed in one of the side walls, whilst the other end was shored up to support it until the wall to carry it had been se cured by new work, on which it was to rest. The men continued their work without fear or appre hension until about 11 o'clock, when all at once the girder gave way, and, from the dilapidated state of the under floors, carried everything before it to the cellar —men, tools, and materials—and completely burying a dozen men, several of whom were at the time en gaged in the cellar mixing mortar. The immense volume of dust which immediately arose in the air caused the utmost consternation to prevail, and the screams of the men who were covered with the debris only heightened the fears of a large con course of persons for their safety whom the catastrophe bad suddenly attracted to the spot. Immediately on the alarm being raised, Inspector Scott, Police•sergeant Carter, and a large body of police repaired to the spot and rendered valuable assistance to the sufferers, and by their judicious ar rangements prevented any interruption to the ordinary traffic of that crowded thoroughfare. They at once set to work, and with the assistance of other men connected with the buildings, commenced clearing the debris which buried so many of their fellow-creatures, whose screams and cries for help were heart-rending. Fortunately for the poor fellows the floors had given way on one side, and consequently fell in a sloping or inclined direction, and to that cause is attributed their providential escape. On removing the wood-work, which was done in a very careful manner, the sufferers were extricated from their perilous position (two, however, being found stuck in the mortar they were mixing), and the worst conveyed in cabs to the hospital, whilst those who were able to walk congra tulated themselves on their lucky escape, and made the best of their way home. Three of the men were conveyed to St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, and two of them to the Metropolitan Hospital, Devonshire-street, B ishopsgaie-street, and their names are M'Carthey, Smith, Renard, Connell, and Bresnin. OD inquiry at the hospitals we were informed that the injuries were of an external character and not of a serious discription. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FORGERY.—Octavius King, a fashionably-dressed young man, described on the police sheet as 21 years of age, residing at the Ter race, Newmarket, merchant, was brought up in custody of John Forrester, charged with uttering and forging a bill of exchange for 1,4501., with intent to defraud the National Discount Company. After hearing some evidence, The prisoner was remanded. :Shr.!k I" tall Gto all 3% 1,10,i •' i~` ) fo_ 1211 All 2c; ' all St. 100 10 ,J ' St, 100 7rt, WO all 0 I all t. 100 54 Si all 5 , .? all 5 all 1.2 all St. tOO 25 183 10 I all 12 10i 50 all 25 I all st; WO Let!s"x.

Mr. Alderman Hale took his seat on the bench this day for the first time in company with Sir P. Laurie. The hon. gentleman has exercised sound discretion in placing himself under the tutelage of so able a public servant as Sir. P. Laurie. vi.lunzcnoss DEBTORS' PRISON.—Mr. Sutherland, late a debtor in the above ward, appeared before Alder man Sir P. Laurie, and complained of the treatment he ( had received at the above prison. One of his complaints wag that 11. was enforced from every new inmate to go to a fund to support others in the establishment. When demanded of him, he remonstrated against the imposition, and wrote to the press complaining of it. The consequence was that he was very much insulted ; and on the evening before he left the prison, because he refused to pay 7s. for the loan of a pair of sheets, a number of the inmates surrounded him, " bonneted " him, and in the scuffle his face, which bora marks of his ill•treatment, was much disfigured, his shirt torn, and his breast lacerated. Many of the inmates of the prison have been there upwards of five years, and he believed they were supported out of the 1/. and what else they got from the new inmates. Sir P. Laurie (to Mr. Bourdon, the governor)—ls it ,rue many of the debtors have been in prison 5 years ? Mr. Burdon—Yes. Sir P. Laurie—How are they supported I 11Ir. Burdon—l presume by their friends. Sir P. Laurie—Have you any particular regulations for prisoners going in and out of the prison ? Mr. Burdon—No, sir, we have not. The poor debtors are allowed to get money by doing menial work for others, and that arrangement was in force before I was appointed to my office. Sir P. Laurie—Captain Williams, one of the Inspec tors of prisons, has informed me that of all the prisons none are so badly conducted as this prison. Alderman Copeland—Complainant, can you point out any of the persons who assaulted you ? Complainant—Yes. Alderman Copeland-4n consequence of what has been published in reference to the state of this prison, a select committee of inquiry has been appointed, and it bas sat 8 or 9 days inquiring into the abominable conduct complained of. Sir P. Laurie—Und••r the circumstances, it will be better for you to go before the committee and give such information a► you can, and after that you can proceed against the parties, either at the sessions or here. The Governor of the gaol, on proof of the disorderly conduct, has power to punish the refractory inmates. Alderman Copeland—Until the Attorney• General in. troduces a bill to otherwise appropriate 1,2001. per annum, the proceeds of benevolent persons' wills for the main tenance of poor debtors in Whitecross-street Prison, these me❑ will remain there. So long as they can divide that money, they Rill never care about filing their peti tion in insolvency. Sir P. Laurie—l think they can be got rid of without an act of Parliament. The parties then withdrew. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A VIOLENT BEolll.ll. — .john , Williams, a sturdy young fellow, well known to the officers of the Mendicity So ciety as a most notorious cadger, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting police•constable 334 A while in the execution of his duty. The constable stated that on the previous night, about ten o'clock, he was on duty in Regent-street, when his attention was called to the prisoner, who was sitting on the steps of the County Fire-office, apparently in a most forlorn and destitute condition. Knowing him to be a common vagrant, he watched his movement s f or a s h ort time, and saw him address several persons wh o h appene d to be passing. At last ho got up and pl ace d h i mself beforo an G o e v ld er elderly gentleman, I'm ihardand layi ng h o l d of his arm, up and unf or t unate, and must have some money." The old gentleman, who was very much alarmed at the prisoner's manner, made off as fast as he could. The prisoner was about to follow him, when witness pounced upon him and took him into cus tody. On the way to the station the prisoner asserted his independence as a true-born Briton to do as he liked, and as a clencher to this independent remark dealt the constable a tremendous blow on the side of his head. Thd pliaoner, in defence, said he was hard up and had ehecwonosrtida,blne:r "not no work that he most so. lemnly denied. n to ot do a : b ' les A se i d t c o op h p it e t r in i g n tht Mr. Bingham said the prisoner was evidently one of those men who wanted no work to do ; and for the as sault on the constable he should commit him for seven days. THAMES. AN UNLUCKY HlT.—Ellen Chapman a young woman was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with wilfully and inaliciouely breaking a large pane of plate glass in the G, OCTOB it 18 t 5 G complexioned man. I judge by the scar over his eye. Mr. Selfe—You have proved his innocence—he has no scar, woman. Ann Clare, who lived in the same house as the pro secutrix, looked at the prisoner, aad said the man who came home with the last witness was very much like the prisoner, but she would not positively swear to him. Mr. Cook, in defence, said he held a responsible situa• tion in the London Dock, and had done so for 16 years. He slept with his wife and not with the prostitute who had made this false charge against him. On Thursday, the 9th inst,, he was tallying wines all day in the Lon- don Dock. Mr. Selfe asked the prosecutrix what time the man left her on Thursday, the 9.h inst. ? To which the re• plied that he remained with her all day until 4 in the afternoon. Mr. Andrew Seott, clerk in the London Dock, said— I produce this sheet of accounts made out by the prisoner on the 9th inst. He was tallying wines all day from 8 to 4 o'clock, the business hours. The prisoner was not away from the dock during these hours. Mr. Selfe was satisfied the prosecutrix had made a most false and infamous charge against the prisoner, and she ought to be ashamed of herself, if any shame could be found in a common prostitute. The charge not only affected the prisoner's character as au honest man, but his character for morality. He did not believe there was any wilful mistake on the part of the prosecutrix, but when she doubted the prisoner's iden tity last night she ought to have withdrawn the charge. The prisoner would be discharged, and without the least stain on his character as far as this accusation was concerned. Mr. Cook—l have been locked up all night on this false charge. Am Ito have no compensation ? Mr. Selfe—lcan award none. You can bring an action against that abandoned woman for false imprisonment, but lam afraid you will obtain nothing from her. lam very sorry you have been put to so much inconvenience and that you have been incarcerated all night.

In fact, the development of commercial activity se nd of international relations prepares the pro gress of civilisation. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. " Deeply convinced of this truth, the Government have presented a bill to the Legislative body for the abo lition of all prohibitions. Thi■ bill could not be voted last session ; and the Government, desirous of obtaining every possibly information o❑ the subject, decided that a board of inquiry should be formed on the question. " Under these circumstances, exaggerated alarms were nevertheless spread throughout the country and turned to account by factions. His Majesty wished that all remonstrances (reclamations) made to him should be carefully examined, and he gave orders to that effect to the Minister of Agriculture, bf Commerce, and of Public Works. " Enlightened by the Minister's report on the real -tate of our industry, the Emperor decided that the projct de loi, submitted to the Legislative body, should he modified in this sense—that the abolition of prohibi tions should only take place after the Ist of July, 1861. A projet de loi to this intent was immediately sent in to the Council of State. " French industry, forewarned of the firm intentions of the Government, will have all the time requisite to to prepare itself for a new commercial system." THE ELBE DUES.

A letter from Hamburg, dated the 14th ins says : " The Washington Cabinet, encouraged by the success it has obtained at Copenhagen, and going upon the principle of the perfect neutrality of the Elbe, admitted in European treaties, has recently presented, through the American Consul, Mr. Ames, a note to the Executive Power of our Republic, in which he asks from the Senate a statistical return of all lighthouses and sea signals maintained on the Elbe by our State, with their annual cost and the amount of dues levied to cover that expense on ships navigating the river, either on their entrance or on their leaving the North Sea. The importance of this American note was soon under stood, and it is regarded as a preliminary step to official measures which will prove of great advantage to our com merce, and tvbich the United States seem firmly resolved to take with the Hanoverian Government, which is autho rised, in virtue of the Convention of Dresden of Septem ber, 1844, concluded between those German States that coast the Elbe, to establish in our very city an office for levying the tolls in question. " In the note alluded to the American Government ex presses a great desire to know the exact amount levied by Hanover by these tolls during the last 10 years. And, as they are paid here at the Hanoverian-office, the Consul of tie United States has received orders from his Government to ask officially from the Senate how far it would support public force against American captains who might refuse to pay the tolls. It is as well to mention that the tariff decreed at Dresden in 1811 was never officially recognised by the United States' Government. "As regards the wording of the note, the language is firm and decided; the Cabinet of Washington expresses its determination to claim from Hanover a free passage for all merchandise or territorial produce of the United states. The article raw cotton is specially mentioned. "As yet no reply has been given to the American note, and it is presumed the note has been communicated to the Hanoverian Government." ..., ~. ----....—. ........, Duke of York public-house, York-street, Commercial- GRAYTO W.N.—B RITISII POLICY.

' We have received a letter from Lord version Vane Tempest, iu which, after giving his of the recent exhibition of practical joking at Brighton, where he played so prominent a part, his lordship complains of the state of suspense in which he has been kept while the military autho rities are making up their minds as to the proper step to be taken with reference to his conduct. We publish Lord Ernest Vane Tempest's letter with great satisfaction, especially as it denies some of the more serious charges made against him, but w e also publish a memorandum from the War-office, which appears in last night's G cmette, with still greater pleasure. This is a decision which must give satisfaction to all parties. Lord Ernest Vane Tempest complains of the suspense in which he has been kept. This memorandum relieves him from that anxious feel ing, and enables him to devote his energies to other fields of action. The public complained that any time should be wasted in the lengthened prelimi naries and formalities of a court-martial or court of inquiry when the case seemed so clear. In this me morandum the public see that the Horse Guards can do speedy as well as tardy justice, and that the new General Cummauding-in-Chief can lop off an of fending member of the aristocracy whose repeated acts have shown that he is unfit to associate with the gentlemen who have the honour of serving her Majesty in the honourable profession of arms. Cornet Ames and his friends must be satisfied, for we suppose that young gentleman will continue to remain in the 4th Light Dragoons, and that he will not be made the victim of any fresh imperti nences on the part of his associates. Again we say, when all are satisfied who can complain ? We need only, therefore, congratulate Lord Ernest Vane Tempest on being rid of his suspense, the 4th Light Dragoons of being rid of Lord Ernest Vane Tem pest, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge on having bad the good sense to apply a speedy remedy to a crying evil. The following is the letter alluded to above : Sir,—My name having appeared in your paper in con nection with a "practical joke" at Brighton, I must re quest you to be impartial enough to allow my version of the circumstances of the case to come before the public in your columns. Cornet Ames dined on the night in question at mess when nothing that could be construed into au insult was addressed by me to him, although his peculiar English and his reckless misplacement of the letter " H" pro. duced some remarks in joke, and caused a good deal of laughter. A. civilian who sat on his right hand, and with whom I was very slightly acquainted, will corrobo rate this ; while Mr. Ames is unable to produce any one who can confirm his story of having been insulted out of a party of 15, among whom were the major of the regi ment, the senior officer at the Preston Barracks, and two or three civilians. After dinner tasked him to come to my room to smoke, to which he consented ; when there, he sat down on a sofa smoking. I remarked that "his whisker wanted trimming," and a pair of scissors being brought I cut off a part of one whisker. Far from show ing the resistance that a man of his height (6 feet) might have done, or even prote,ting energetically, he laughed, and actually cut off a little of the other side "to make them alike," to use his own words. I may here men tion that when General Lawrenson arrived, two or three days after, he requested to know whether any had been taken if, as be still possessed a large pair. Cornet Ames has brought three separate charges against me, tone of which he owns being able to prove, except by his own evidence, while I can bring evidence to re fute each. All the stories of feeding him with pap, hanging him in effigy in the barracks, and pumping r upon him have no foundation, and, so far from being the butt of the regiment, he was treated with great kindness by every one in it. My reason for not having stated these circumstances before was, that I thought i:; was probable they 'night be matters for a court-martial ; but, after being placed under arrest for more than a firtnight, the colonel of ray re.,pme , nt read me a letter from the Horse Guards, requesting me to send in my papers. This I did, but beard nothing more till v..s-tiay, when lam informed that they will take time to consider. Three weeks have nearly elapsed and the Horse Guards have had plenty of time to do anything they wanted ; but I do protest a: keeping. a man under close arrest, atter he has acted up to their own wishes, for such a length cf time without any exercise, and I cannot but feel that liberty is worth having at any risk. Apologising, Sir, for taking so much space in your columns, I am, 'Sir, your obedient servant, EARNEST VANE TEMPEST. Brighton Barracks, Oct. 17. P.S. A paragraph in one of the morning papers states that the officers under arrest are allowed to receive professional advice. So far from thi., a case which has just cceurred will give the public an idea that this is not so. , The father of one of the ofc3rs under arrest being very ill sent his own cwifidential friend and legal ad- viser to RC() his son. This gentleman was refused admit• tance. 15 this fair or right ? (From the Morning Chronicle) We rejoice to announce a vigorous and graceful act on the part of •his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief in dismissing Lord Ernest Vane Tempest and Mr. W. J. Birt, late officers in the 4th Light Dragoons, from the service which they had disgraced. Among the too frequent scandals arising out of the gross misbehaviour of young officers attached to "crack" regiments, the late incidents at Brighton have attained a discreditable notoriety. Upon the junior officers of that army the lesson will not be thrown away. They are now warned, by an unmistakeable example, that when once they hare accepted a commission in her Majesty's‘ser vice, they must not merely abandon the rough horse play miscalled practical joking, which might b 3 pardonable in the school-boy, but also abjure the vulgar exclusivism of wealth and station, and frankly accept the principle that there should be perfect equality of honour among the members of an honourable profession. 94 i 101/ 100 i 151 .02 i 75 6 5 49 93 - 97 15i 16, 4! - 5 6 - 6. 105 - 95 - 1 8 P - Ilf - ••• .... 4 •• ....." ••• - • •• fa - 115 108 - 110 101 - IC3 60 - 62 10 - Ith IN ..". 6 6 . 93 - 95 87 - 89 87 - 89 98 • 100 94 - 10 i 16i - 17 )0 104 68 - 72 19i - 20. 9i - 10.1 14 15.; - kfi 36 138 ~ "" 135 - 137 113 - 115 1.
