MONEY MARKET • AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton v at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export and on speculation. The market was steady, but dull. Railway shares were very heavy at a reduction of to 4 per cent. The changes that occurred last week in the finan cial position of the Bank of England were not of any moment in regard to the two principal items, viz., the bullion and note circulation. Many would have anticipated, however, an increase in the former, owing to the large arrivals, but if the exports have not kept pace with them, much of the gold from Australia has only been paid into the Bank within the last two or three days, and will be brought into a future account. It may even be affirmed that the return now before us would have exhibited an increase but for the extra amount of specie ordinarily required about this period to meet harvest disbursements. The public deposits are below the sum that might be wished at this advanced period of the quarter, having been about six millions sterling on the 17th September, 1853. There will, however, be three weeks' return yet before the maximum is attained, and the question to be solved is whether the receipts will amount to two millions additional. The increase in the other securities is proof of the continued demand for money, the pre vailing mistrust being an inducement to many of our merchants to provide themselves with cash be yond what they may actually require. Compared with the previous week the changes were as follows : £19,583,385 38,565 13,279,370 42,449 Rest Increase Public Deposits 4,985,233 Increase 642,527 Other Deposits Increase Seven-Day and other Bills 'Decrease 35,976 Government Securities 10,996,955 Other Securities 15,353,432 Increase Notes unemployed 7,049,425 Increase 41,265 The supply of bills upon the Continent was larger yesterday afternoon, and higher rates were consequently given for the pound sterling. Paris, 90 days, was at 25 271 to 30 ; Amsterdam, at 11 1 7i to 4 ; Hamburgh, at 13 6i to 61; Frankfort, at 118- to ; and. Trieste, at 11 38 to 44. The increased demand for money had naturally the effect of inducing parties to draw more freely at three months, in order to obtain the pro ceeds, and loan the same if not required for, their own business purposes. Money was particularly in request yesterday in the Stock Exchange because of the instalment on the Turk ish Loan, but in discount circles it will doubtless continue to be tightly held, while there is any ap prehension of failures. Gold is not now in de mand for remittance to the Continent, owing to the improvement in the rate of exchange. The directors of the Devonshire Great Consoli dated Mining Company, at their Board Meeting held this day, declared a dividend of 9,2161., being 9 1. per share, out of profits from sales of copper ores, sampled in the months of May and June last. After payment of the same, there remains in hand a balance of 25,2561.125. 9d. in cash. Ore bills not at maturity, and reserved fund applicable to the gene ral purposes of the company. The amount of gold exported from London di rect during the week to Thursday last was 26,953 ounces, and of silver 97,440 ounces, all except 480 ounces of silver going to the Continent. From the outports a good deal has been sent away. The Stock market is flat, and there has been less doing. The foreign political news is not of a cha racter to stimulate speculation either for a rise or fall, and the demand for money has more influence. Consuls have been 95 to 951 for transfer, and 95i to for account. Exchequer Bills have been 6s. to 9s. premium. In Foreign Securities there is no animation. The Turkish Scrip has been dealt in at 31 to 3i premium, and the Spanish Passive Dutch Sardi nian Bonds have be en 881, and h2i per Cents. 62. These have been the only bargains. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 t d ito Gi ; Mexican, 2 4 i to 25 ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; to 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portugueso 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Rnisian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto 4-1- per Cents., 87 to 89 ; Sp anish New Deferred, 18 3 . to 18i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 3 71 t 0 133 ; ditto Certificates, 5 to si; ditto Passive, 4 to 41. Railway Shares hav e been declining again, and are more abundantly su pp lied. The principal transactions have been in Midland, North-Western have , South-Eastern, and South-Western. There been lower rates accepted for French shares also. The Mines are nomianal, the Australi the Banks firm an A, Cgricul rystal Palace lower again, nd. tural barely so good.

DAVID SCOTT, RICHMOND, AND Co.—There was a meeting of creditors at Man chester, yesterday morning, at which Mr. Broome, ac- , countant, exhibited a statement of liabilities and assets. From this it appears that the liabilities are as follow 20 ;1d : 4 Amount of book debts o win g b y the firm, 42,924/. 7s. . liabilities on bills in th e bands of third parties, 150,3701. ,Q 9. 16s, lid. ; total, 193,2951. 4s. Assets—book debts 20 owing to the firm, 47,884/. 16s. ld. ; a ccounts drawn for 203 but not discounted, 27,472/. 16s. 3d. ; goods in the ha nds 10 of consignees, 8,6881. Os. 10d. ; goods, fixtures, and 20 miscellaneous stock in warehouse, 5,4111. 17e. Id. ; mis - 20 cellaneous property, 480/. ; bills and cash in hand, 3,4121. 165. ld. ; securities, 2,0001. ; total, 95,3411. 16s. 20 4d. apparent asset s, to meet liabilities amounting to 16 193,2951. 4s. The c urrent statements out of doors were 20 that the liabilities are between 450,0001. and 500,000/. ; but this is explained by the fact that the house is in the commission trade, and having power to draw upon the parties for whom they have bo u g ht goods, their names 20 are on a large amount of paper—say 245,000/. —on sol vent parties, for money owing, and whic h will probably 10 all be met. A resolution was passed by the meeting ap- 20 pointing a committee to further investigate the accounts 40 and consider the best means of proceeding under the 20 c i rc umstances. The meeting was then adjourned to the 20 6th October. We learn that the private est ate of the 20 principal partner would not realise more than 10,0001. to 20 20 15,000/. 5 THE WHALE FISHERY.—The Sarah and Elizabeth 20 arrii ed at Vidlon Voe on the 18th inst., with 3,650 seals, 10 42 seahorses, 4 large whales, 5 unicorns, and 9 bears, 20 producing about 104 imperial tons of oil, and about 3i 20 tons of whalebone. On the 27th of May, she became beset in Wide Bay by a large iceberg setting down upon 1081 her, and it wa s feared she would be lost. A great part of the crew's cl othes were got out on to the ice, the pro- 10 visions were ta ken out of the hold, and all were ready 4°6 to leave the ship ; but ultimately the berg slided clear 20 of her, without any serious damage having been done. She got at liberty on the 14th of June.—Eastern 40 Counties Herald. IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN FISHING NETS.—A 40 very important improvement has lately been introduced, with the best effect, in the manufacture of fishing-nets in 50 this quarter, by using cotton material in place of hemp. 25 Several of these cotton nets have been used during the 20 past season on the fishings of the Tay, and have answered 100 every expectation. They are lighter and softer, and 20 100 cons equently easier to draw than t he common hemp nets, and are capable of being dried more perfeetiy, be sides possessing other good qualities which recommend 20 them to the general use of fishers. We have little doubt teat the improvement will soon be extensively adopted. 50 —Perthshire Courier. 111 1 5 LET OF SALMON FISHINGS.—The salmon fishin e ' s the river Tay, belonging to Sir John Stewart Richard - 100 son, of Pitfour, Bart., were let by public roup, in thel Royal George Hotel, on Friday afternoon last , for the `un ensuing fishing season, 1855 . Th e r o om was crowded -26 with salmon fishers, and, after a keen competition, the 25 Pitfour fishing were knocked down to, the previous tacksmen at 7101., being an advance on last year's rent 100 of 3061. The fishing of Poldrait, on the North Inch, I 10 was let at 1241. The last year's rent was 1301. For 5 the three-fourths of the ships fishing there were no bidders above last year's rent and it was withdraWn it 25 being intimated at the same time that private offers 25 would be received for the ships fishing,—Pera Paper.

This day (Saturday) the Rev. Hugh Pollard Wil loughby was brought up for examination at Guildhall, before Mr. Alderman Carden, charged with having fired a loaded pistol at Mr. Hardinge Stanley Giffard, with in tent to murder him. Upon the rev. gentleman beingplaced before the magistrate, it became painfully evident that he was insane, for no sooner had Mr. Pearson begun to state the case against him than he stopped the pro ceedings, by stating that, as Mr. Clarkson bad said, he could not assist him, and that as he had said that he (prisoner) was labouring under a delusion, he did not wish him to appear before him ; Mr. Clarkson, then, had better withdraw. Prisoner, in continuation—Besides Mr. Clarkson ad vised me to have Mr. Humphrys as my solicitor, and be is Mr. Harding Giffard's father-in-law.—Mr. Clarkson : I did nothing of the kind.—Alderman Carden I think Mr. Clarkson had better remain. The prisoner (who bad a large envelope, in which were some papers), said—Shall I be allowed to ask any Iquestions ? 93 - 100 98 - 100 138 - 140 ii 7- - 30 100 -- 102 50 -- 51 25 -25 i 12i -- 134 23 -- 24 lla -- 11,1 2i -- 2ixd 92 - 94 Alderman Carden—Certainly. Mr. Giffard was then sworn, and about to give his evieence, when the prisoner again interrupted and said that he would not be quiet, as money would carry the day against him, but he would unburthea his thoughts, and let the British public know them. After some fur ther interruption, and prisoner again complaining and protesting against Mr. Clarkson appearing for him, Mr. Gifford repeated the evidence which he gave upon the occasion of the first examination at the Central Criminal Court. 5S - 60 136 - 139 ii = fid 30 - 31 91 - 96 The prisoner asked Mr. Gifford whether he did now recollect, upon being at Cardiff, making some offensive allusion to him about a charge which bad been preferred against him (prisoner) in 1843 and 1849 ? Mr. Giffard said, he had not any recollection of hav ing ever seen him until the present occasion, and had most certainly never made any allusion to him.—The prisoner then went into a long rambling statement, and kept asking Mr. Giffard if he had not made insult ing gestures towards him before Justice Williams, at Cardiff.—The other evidence, which has already ap peared, was then gone into ; and in the course of it it was stated that the prisoner said that he had intended to use it upon somebody else if ,the first failed in its effect, and also that he intended the second pistol for Mr. Giffard. The evidence having been completed, Mr. Clarkson said he appeared upon the part of the friend of the un happy gentleman, and should reserve what he had to say•for the time of trial. Prisoner—Do not laugh, Mr. Clarkson ; it is not a laughing matter. It is a very serious charge —it is 4 very serious matter to be in Newgate. Mr. Clarkson then applied that every indulgence should be allowed to the unhappy gentleman during his incarceration in Newgate. Mr. Alderman Carden—Most certainly. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. - Mr. Shadwell held his court yesterday at the Lords Justices' Court, Westminster Hall, to revise the lists for Lincoln's-inn, and the parishes and places within the city of Westminster. In the St. Clement D ines list Mr. Davies again com plained of the irregularity of the Post-office. In some oases the notices of objections served on 24th August had been forwarded to the overseers ; in others the Post-office had actually returned the originals and the duplicates of the notices sent. The objections were substantiated on Mr. Davies producing the duplicate notices, the lathes of the Post-office authorities not ex cluding him from proving his objection. Not a single case of the least interest arose in any of the parishes. In reference to persons in the Ealing list who had claimed to poll at Charing cross, Mr. Alley Jones and Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Har rison and Lewis, appeared before the barrister, and stated that the cases would be found very few in num ber where the claim to poll at Charing-cross could not be sustained under the act. The Revising Banister then handed to Mr. Jones a large bundle of these claims, which he had marked to poll at Charing-cross, and proceeded to read the remain ing claims giving the right to poll at the nearest and most convenient points to the residences of the claimants. The court will be held this day at the Belvidere Tavern, Islington. 7/ 8 MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) Miters. —There has been a little more life in the min ing market this week, and transactions to a fair extent have taken place in a few dividend and speculative' mines. North Bassets have been sought after, and largely dealt in at from 161. 10s. to 18/. 10s. ; South Tamar, 91. ; West Caradon done at 190/. to 1951. Alfred Consols, 211. to 211. 10s. ; South Caradon, 2851. to 2901. ; Venton, 31. 103. to 41. ; Garreg, owing to a discovery, advanced from 10s. to 155., having previously been unsaleable. MINES WHICH HAVE SOLD ORE—Birch Tor, Car bona, Clara, Darren, Clijah and Wdritworth, Garreg, Cowareh, Great Crinnis, lialamanning and Croft Gotha!, Great Wheal Vor, Polgear and Lancarrow, Poltimore, Sort.ridge Consols, Trannack, Treloggan, Tyn-y-Berth, West Wheal Frances, West Crinnis, Wheal Alfred, Wheal Venton. In Foreign Mines, although business has been limited, the quotations have generally shown an upward tendency. STATE OF TRADE. (Prom the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Sept. 22.—The effect produced upon our market by the failure of Messrs. David Scott, Richmond, and Co., with the consequent suspensions of Messrs. Currie, Dale, and Co. of London, Messrs. Deane, Youle, and Co. of Liverpool, and Mr. W. A. Park, of this city, has been both very great and general. Since Tuesday, however, there has been a tendency in the market to recover its tone, though it can hardly be said that any increase of business is generally ex perienced. As regards prices, any giving way there may be is but partial, and does not exceed id per lb. in cer tain yarns. Domestics, T cloths, and good printers remain perfectly firm ; and the makers of India goods are not to be moved from their quotations, which are, indeed, ruinously low. LEICESTER, Sept. 21.—There is no noticeable differ ence in the demand for goods this week. There is less doing in wools, spinners not being able to realise the advance in prices upon them. Farmers' lots seem to have arrived at the highest point at present. WOOLLEY TRADE. (From the Leeds 3fercury of this day.) LEEDS, Sept. 22.—The state of trade in the ware houses is rather varied at present. The country trade is very brisk in those warehouses whose connection is direct with the home market ; but in the houses that mainly supply the LoridonAnd other large markets, the business doing at present is not of a very active charac ter. The shipping houses are quiet. HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 19.—The market to-day hi the Cioth•ball was of a languid character, and there was less doing in the warehouses than usual, but in the latter business is carried on during the week, and we under stand that, although somewhat flatter than our former notices, yet it cannot be characterised as bad. BRADFORD, Sept. Woo/.—There is no new feature to notice in this branch ; prices rule too high to induce spinners to operate. The supply in the market is on the increase, especial:3r in the commission ware houses. Yarns.—The high price of wool forms a great obstacle to the spinner. lieces.—The demand for goods is rather on the increase, but the prices are deplorably bad. MEXICAN ANTIQUITIES, — The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have caused a communication to be made to the Customs authorities with reference to an application from Mr. C. B. Young, for admission duty free of a collection of Mexican antiquities of earthen ware, imported into the port of Southampton from Vera Cruz, stating that under the circumstances their lord ships are pleased to sanction the admission of the articles in question free of duty, and the Customs authorities have given directions for their lordship? orders to be obeyed. ADVERTISING. —The Boston Bee says—a man can get along without advertising, so can a waggon without grease—but it goes hard. ENCOURAGEMENT TO AGRICULTURISTS.—We have just been favoured with ,the sight of two elaborately-chased silver cups, intended to be presented to the two success ful competitors for the two best cultivated farms in this county, on the estates of the Right Hon. the Earl of Stamford, which have again been supplied by Mr. Thomas Johnson, Bank-buildings, where they may be seen for a short time previous to their being presented to their respective owners. The engraving on the two cups was as follow :—•" Prize cup, given by the Earl of Stamford, for the best cultivated farm above 150 acres, Mr. Thomas Burchnall, An.ty, 1851 ;" "prize cup, given by the Earl of Stamford, for the best cultivated farm above 50 acres, Mr. Joseph Thompson, The Oaks, 1851." They are, we understand, to be presented in a few days by the respected steward, John Martin, E iq., Groby Pool House.—Leicester Journal. WHO WOULD NOT BE A SOLDIER ?—Large placards are being posted in various parts of Newcastle, inviting young men of good character to enlist in the Northum berland Regiment of Militia Artillery, whereby they will have the " privilege of obtaining a knowledge of the service, and the honour of defending their own shores should emergency require it." The training, it is added, Iwill take place at Tyneinouth, "where they will be I taught, gratis, the art of fencing, singlestick, gunnery, 1 and mechanics, for which prizes will be given for the most proficient at the end of the training. In their leisure hours they may employ themselves at the fives court, quoit ground, or in a well•selected library." Who would not be a soldier 1--Northern Examiner.

No further intelligence from the seat of war in the East hasbeen received up to the hour (6 o'clock) of our going to press. POLAND. The Berlin Russian organ asserts, under the head of Warsaw, that a courier has been received at that place ordering a complete dislocation of all the regiments in Poland and neighbouring govern ments, and that this order has set all the military authorities in movement. The Guards are also expected to arrive, but will not march through Warsaw, but by side routes ! Their destination is not known. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SEPT. 21. The King presided at a Council of Ministers this afternoon at Sans Souci, after which their Excel lencies had the honour of dining with their Majesties. The King returned yesterday evening, after the manoeuvres in front of Waltersdorf, to Sans Souci. The heavyrains of the last two days interfered with the bivouacs. M. de Bismark-Schonhausen (says Spener's Jour nal) returned to his post at Frankfort yesterday evening; but the deliberations on the Oriental question will not commence until Prussia and Austria have come to an understanding as to the position to be assumed by the Diet. This is a very ingenuous avowal of the disaccord at present existing. SPAIN. MADRID, SEPT. 18. The electoral meetings held yesterday terminated without the adoption of any candidates, either by the district meetings or the • general one summoned by the " Union Liberal" at the Teatro Real. The latter, which broke up at six p.m., was of rather a stormy character, and the Marquis del Duero, who presided, had much diffi culty in preserving order. An observation made by Senor Tasara, a young Moderado orator, that the Moderado party was the only one that possessed within itself the conditions for governing, excited a great uproar, and was combated by the Progres sistas present. Senor Gonzalez Bravo avowed democratic opinions, but was badly received by the bulk of the meeting, though some of his expres sions were applauded. A manifesto to the elec toral body, which had been drawn up by the com mittee appointed for that purpose on a former oc casion, and altogether in a liberal sense, was finally adopted, but nothing was done as to the recom mendation of candidates.

Nearly the whole of the. first page of the Con stitutionnel is filled with 'he preface of the forth coming "History of Turkey," by M. de Lamartine. We regret that our limits will not permit us to give very long extracts from this remarkable production. " Russia, which extends from Poland to Persia and China, already weighs infinitely too much on the globe. If to such weight be added that of the 100,000 s q uare leagues of the Ottoman empire in Asia and Europe, all balance of forces in the world is at an end. We should have to enter on a whole hemisphere and on the half of another, the famous finis Polonice, applied not merely to Sarmatia, but to all Europe lt is known that Napoleon was accustomed to say whatever he thought in his familiar conversations with his friends. Count de Rambuteau, then chamberlain, and afterwards prefect of Paris, was present'one evening at the Tuileries at one of these grand improvisations, in January, 1813, a sd when fortune had already removed many an hill- Marshal Davoust and the Count de Lobau, as well as M. Rambuteau listened with a respectful inte rest to the affecting anecdotes of the retreat from Russia. Napoleon all at once interrupted hi mse lf in the recital of his reverses and said Alas ! how the best calcu lated plans may be thwarted by the mo s t unforeseen cir cumstances ! Placed in 1812 at the h ea d of Europe and disposing of all the forces of the West, I thought themo - ment was come to invade Russia. I wanted t o raise up against her a barrier which she could never pass. I h o p e d, at least, to retard for a hundred years that power, a n d in reality I have advanced her a century! If ever she seizes o n Constantinople, she will place Europe and Asia under the same yoke ! Ah, if I had known sooner the import ance of the Turkish counterpoise at Constantinople.' And in fact let any one represent to himself a Czar, who re cruits his armies amongst 65 millions of men —men, whose sole duty is to die for their master ; let any one in his mind add to that formidable recruitment the 40 millions of Ottoman subjects, Turks, Greeks, Abasians, Armenians, Circassians, Druses, and Maronites ; and then add to that the 25 millions ofPersians, who already tremble before the advanced posts of Russia ! and there will be 130 millions of men in one despotic hand to op pose 120 millions of others. What becomes of the Black Sea, that lake of Europe and of Asia. It be comes the great dock of Russia, in which her fleets will be constructed in silence, until such time as these innumerable sails will debouch by the Dardanelles into the Mediterranean, saying to the wind, like the barbarians Blow where you will, wherever you carry us, the land is ours What becomes of the Danube, which, after having flowed along freely for 600 leagues across Germany, will be enchained at its mouth, and will find the Muscovite blockade at its junction with the seas, in which it went to seek for the sum and wealth of the East ? What will become of the Adriatic, in which Austria was commencing to exercise herself in navigation and commerce by Trieste and Venice, and which Dalmatia, Epirus, and Albania, henceforward Russian, will close up like a second Black Sea to the Austrian flag ? What becomes of Constantinople, that Hanseatic capital, situated on two con tinents, on the shore of three seas, and of two straits, common doors, of which the keys ought to be in a neutral, friendly, or independent hand I Constantinople becomes a Moscow of the Bosphorus, of which the Kremlin, built on the place of the gardens of the seraglio, will cause the ships of war of Europe to pass under its cannon like slaves. What becomes of the Mediterranean ? It becomes either a Russian lake or a battle field of a century between the Russian fleets and the English fleets, holding the commerce of Europe be tween two fires. What becomes of maritime France on that sea where she possesses neither Malta, Gibraltar, nor Corfu ? Maritime France becomes the subaltern vassal of the naval power, preponderating in these seas, England ; or she becomes the butt of the insults of Russia even in her ports. When Russia is in the Dardanelles, the Russian frontier is at Mar seilles and Toulon. What becomes of Germany ? Al ready borne down for the last 30 years by Russian diplomacy or intervention, which she could still restrain as long as the Czar felt behind him the counterpoise of Turkey, Germany becomes Russia. The Confederation of the Rhine, thought of by Bonaparte, becomes a verity after the annihilation of Constantinople by the Czar ; Germany, great and small, becomes a confederation of the Danube against France. At that price, Russia pre serves a slice of Poland and the Rhenish provinces ; at that price, Austria preserves Italy, and if Italy palpi tates at the voice of France, a new Su warow descends from Illyria into her plains with 200,000 Russians to the aid of 200,000 Germans. Continental France cannot make a movement on her frontiers without meeting Germany, the advance guard of Russia, or without coming into collision with Russia, the re serve of Germany. The treaties of 1815 are curtailed, against us, of all that remained unconquered in the East, independent in Germany, and living in Italy. It is nu longer the accidental and temporary coalition of 1815, it is a coalition for ever of which one power, Rus sia, will draw up the clauses and give the catchword every evening to all Eutope. England alone will re main unseizable and free, because the waves and the winds cannot be chained. She will not be subjected to the continental blockade of Bonaparte, augmented by the blockade of the East by Russia ; she will await with anxiety the period at which a Russian expedition similar to that which is at present being accumulated on the Danube will come, like that of Alexander, and give a new master to the 200 millions of men who are labouring at present in India, under her laws. Such, as to territories and seas, are the conse quences to the abandonment of Turkey to the Rus sians. As to the civilisation of the world, these consequences are written in two words, despotism and superstition ; a Czar and a pontiff in a single man ; the faith of nations conquered with their liberty ; the servitude of the mind dreamed of on the earth with the servitude of races ; on immense check given to the genius of modern nations ; theologists for philosophers, arid Kalinueks fur theologians. If Russia is allowed to bind the West, hand and foot, whilst it is reposing, the West will never rise again, or it will rise enchained ' • it will bleak its chains, we know, but it will break them in one of those revolutionary convulsions which do not make of the war, as at present, a military campaign, but an earthquake in which the victors perish with the vanquished. Let us therefore march with confidence to the succour of ourselves. Turkey is the advanced guard of the liberty of Europe. Let us rejoice at having found in a people considered dead a people living, and let us write its history, either as the augury of its regenera , or as the epitaph of our tomb."

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, SEPT. 21. The University Commissioners appointed under the new act have addressed a circular letter to the Heads of Colleges, stating their readiness to receive any schemes which the Colleges may propose for their own improvement, under the powers which the act canters upon them. As the number of Fellows in residence at the present time is in all cases extremely small, it is not likely that any steps will be taken in consequence of this announcement until the beginning of term. The late principal of Edmund-hall was buried on Wednesday in the hall chapel. The funeral was with out display, and strictly private. The headship is in the gift of the Provost and Fellows of Queen's. It is by custom offered to the several Fellows in the order of seniority, according to the practice usually observed with respect to college livings. On the last occasion it was declined, we believe, by the first two Fellows upon the list.

The living is valued at about 650/. per annum. St. Edmund-hall has accommodation for 27 under graduates, but the last calendar shows only 14 names on the books. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held on Thursday at the London Tavern; /Jr. Fenton, of Rochdale, in the chair. The report of the directors, the substance of which has already ap peared in The Sun, having been taken as read, the chair man moved "that the report be adopted, and that a dividend be now declared on the preference stock of the company at the rate of 4/. 4s. per cent. per annum, and on the consolidated ordinary stock of Si. per cent. per 'annum, less income tax in both cases, and both payable on the sth day of October next."

FALL OF BRAMHOPE TUNNEL ON THE LEEDS NORTH ERN RAILWAY.-It is satisfactory to be able to state that up to the present time no death has occurred from the catastrophe which occurred on Tuesday last. On Wednesday, Mr. -Harrison, engineer-in -chief of the united company, made a careful examination of the fracture, in the presence of the Leeds directors, and from a report made by him upon the spot, we make the following extract :—" It appears a portion of the roof of the tunnel, about 12 feet square, has fallen in. It will be necessary, as a precaution, to take out about 10 feet in the length of the arch, at each side of the part which has fallen in. Beyond this there does not appear to be the slightest cause for anxiety ; but to satisfy the public a complete examination of the whole of the tunnel will at once be made." ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE LEEDS NORTHERN RAIL WAY.—We regret to have to record a second calamity on this line this week. It appears that on Thursday last, Mr. Goslett, superintendent at the Leeds station, is ,company with a friend, being at Arthington station, near the Bramhope tunnel, which Lad two days pre viously partially fallen in, resolved upon passing down the line to Harrowgate. They travelled from Arthington with an engine and tender only, and on reaching Star Beck station came in collision with a goods' train which was at a stand there. The collision broke one of the trucks, seriously shook Mr. Goslett, and broke the leg of Mr. Wm. Pepper, of Leeds, his companion. The fracture sustained by Mr. Pepper is a compound one. DEFACING RAILWAY TlCKETS.—Abraham Wilson and Joseph Ferem were placed before the city magistrates, concerning whom it was stated that at 10.20 that morn- ing they li - ad come to the Victoria station from Preston, and that their tickets were defaced by being nearly out to pieces. The date of one was cut out, so that it did not indicate whether or not the ticket was an old one, To•day's date was, however, visible on one of them, and therefore while the company did not press the case against them, they wished them to understand that they keep their tickets in a legible condition. After b ing reprimanded for the folly of their conduct in defacing the tickets, they were discharged.—Manchester Examiner. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Miles opened, I NAME OF RAILWAY. 104.

The freedom allowed up to the present time has been wholly inconsistent with the curt and unqualified statements of the Ministers in the House of Commons in July last, as well as with the formal reply made by the Admiralty to inquiries on the 25th 'ult., published in the Times ; and, although the public recognise the latitude with which, amid the perplexities of war, all such intimations must be received, the losses and inconvenience they have oc casioned to our merchants are to be regretted : " To the Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. " 6, Great Winchester-street, Sept. 15. "My Lord,—ln my vocation of East India merchan, and agent, it is my duty to advise rny correspondents at Calcutta and Bombay as to th e position of such articles of produce as they are in the habit of shipping to this market. It is also expected .of me to suggest limits at which it might appear safe to effect their shipments. "After the declaration of war with Russia, and presuming that the commercial blockade avowedly contemplated by Government Would prove a reality, I directed the atten tion of my correspondents to shipments of East India lin seed, to fill np in some measure the void which the expected interruption of supplies from Russian ports would natu rally create. " Such shipments have been accordingly effected, bat at the greatly enhanced cost which the circumstances occa sioned, and even seemed to warrant. Owing, however, to linseed being freely and continuously sent forward from the Russian ports in the Black Sea, the calculations previously formed have proved delusive, and the result is that my friends in India, in commomwith many other confiding parties, will have reason to regret their ship ments of the article, the market for it here being com pletely paralysed. " It would tend. very much to disembarrass and simplify commercial operations during the war in kindred or analo gous articles of produce, if your Lordship wou ld , f or t h e satisfaction of the mercantile community in general, be pleased to favour me at your early convenience with pre cise information as to whether it is designed that the Ras siau ports in the Black :::ca and the Sea of Azoff be speedily and effectively blockaded. I nay be pardoned for repeat ing the question that has been frequently asked during the past five months, and affirmatively answered on the part of Government; since the latest advices from the q uarter in dicated confirm the impression that no blockade exisfs,aotiul that shipments of R uss i an pro d uce ( ce real' excepted) con tinue tinue to proceed as a c ti ve ly as if the state of war had to prevail. "I am, ice., "J. JOHNSON." " Foreign-office, Sept. 19. " Sir,—With reference to F our letter of the 15th inst., in which you request to be informed whether the Russian ports in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff are to be speedily and effectively blockaded, I am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to state to you that, pending the come naval and military operations in the Black Sea, his Lordship cannot give the precise information asked for by you.—l am, &e., "E.

The deceased admitted into the above hospital on 4th September inst., having sustained a compound hour,in the servi ce hn fractureti of the knee, resulting from injuries he had re ceived on being thrown from a spirited horse belonging to Mr. Chandler, which he was galloping on Epsom Downs. Although immediate assistance was obtained, and every attention paid to the sufferer, from the nature of the injuries it was deemed advisable to send the do era-ed by the next train to Guy's Hospital, where he received immediate and constrait attendance from the house surgeon and medical officers. The fracture being greatly reduced, the deceased for some .time went on favourably, but from the fact that the deceased had been in the habit of living too freely, it is supposed the in juries he had received preyed upon his mind, predis posing an attack of delirium tremens. No suspicion was, however, entertained that the deceased contemplated suicide, particularly in a crowded room, where nurses and other officials were constantly passin g. The deceased must have secreted the knife and watc h e d hi s oppor tunity, when a ll was quiet to commit th e f ata l ac t, as on its discovery by the nurse, and th e d resse r and the house su rgeon being called i n , it was f ou nd that the injuries he had received were of so extensive a character that Le died almost immediately. 1853. 1854. 1,'90 793 265 2,2,7 882 6,8,0 11,100 5,453 G,ti4o 23$ 178 1,358 1,815 1,401 21 810 701 6,(,78 21,750 3,075 630 5,586 116,0'7 7,172 23,915 U 54 6,685 20,7b6 554 55,830 1,591 15,476 15,252 502 8,876 701 28,936 3,223 901 3,06 i 4,881 1,141 2,587 2,122 749 2,797 20,745 4,705 1,705 3,045 1,203 32,533 171 N 283 319% 251 653T4 174 253 49135 i 258 SPA 162 85% 894 1,512 ,057 534 894 727 6,301 112 1,114 6,819 1y, , '49 5,447 23,257 192 6,383 21,769 8,988 757 -- 1,302 2,958 34,704 i 331 1 25 20 10 10 50 100 27h1 2i 21
