11;10/4EY MA it KET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TV 0 o'CLOCK. I Shr The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was moderately active at steady prices. The sales comprised 7,000 bales, including 2,000 on specu lation and for export. The Railway share Mar ket was depressed, with a decline in some instances of 4 to / per cent. The bullion held by the Bank of England during the week to the 7th inst. was slightly diminished notwithstanding the imports, and it is to be as sumed that the amounts received from abroad had not then been paid in, although enough has been received since to augment the total. The payment of official salaries or disbursements appears to have already commenced, as the public deposits were rather smaller ; their first reduction, in fact after the maximum point of tho quarter. The de mand for money is evidenced by the reduction of private lodgments, but as respects the secu rities, there was a diminution arising from the ordinary repayment of loans before the transfer books re-open. The discounts of the Bank are already sufficiently large, considering the quiet state of trade and the absence of speculation. The next return will present numerous changes, in duced by the dividend payments. Compared with the previous week, the changes, up to the 7th inst., were as under : Active circulation Decrease Bullion Decrease X 19,959,015 5,905 12,972,466 87,404 Rest Increase Public Deposits 5,766,065 Decrease 20,517 Other Deposits Decrease 325,470 'even-Day and other Bills Increase 29,086 Government Securities 11,015,466 Increase 9,256 Other Securities 16,677,317 Decrease Notes unemployed 6,391,015 Decrease 108,365 Yesterday afternoon the rates of exchange were not quite so well supported as regards bills upon the principal Continental cities. Paris, 90 days, went at 25 35 to 37i, Amsterdam at 11 17 to 18k, Hamburgh at 13 7 to 7f, Trieste at 11 45 to 50, and Frankfort at 1185 to i. Bar silver is at ss. lid. per ounce, being id. lower. The exports of bullion direct from London during the week to Thursday last comprised 1,935 ounce's of gold and 37,615 of silver, all to the Continent. The ship Saldauba, from Port Philip, arrived at Liverpool, brings 129,0001. in gold. The amount on board the Queen of the South is 551,1001. Some heavy payments fall due next week. On Monday there will be 15 per cent. payable on the second. 1,000,0001. of the Turkish Loan ; on Tues day 20 per cent. is payable on the A series of the 2,000,0001. of Exchequer Bonds, and on Friday 20 per cent. on the first issue of 2,000,0901. of the Turkish loan. The exchanges next week will therefore, in all probability, decline. The letters from the Contineni furnish no com mercial news of interest: The English Stooks have been flat, the reduction in the amount of bullion held by the Bank being the main cause, although there is obviously an excess in the supply. Consols have been 95 to for transfer and account. The New 31 per Cents t have realised 94 to 941, and the 3 per Cants. 931 to 94. Exchequerßills have been 4s. to 75., and East India Bonds 10s. premium. The Bonds of 1859 have been done at par. In Foreign Stocks the dealings are unusually limited, and quotations are nominal. Transactions are officially recorded in Brazilian Small at 991, in Spanish New Deferred at 182, and in Turkish Scrip at 2i to 3. These constitute the entire busi ness of the day up to the period of our writing. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51- to 6± ; Mexi can, 24 to 25 ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cants., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 96 to 93 ; ditto, 41 per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 182 to 19 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 371 to 38± ; ditto, Certi ficates, 5 to 5} ; ditto, Passive, 42 to 4j. The Railway Share Market has become de pressed. There is a decline of to North Western and Midland, of Ato in Cale donian, and of Itol in Great Northern. Great Western are tolerably firm. The foreign lines have been firm, and Great Luxembourg rather higher. Mining Shares are dull, and also Banks. The Crystal Palace have been firmer.

The result is that new tables have been sanctioned under which an extension of four days will be afforded to the inhabi tants of Calcutta for answering their correspondence, bu tthe date when the alteration is to come into effect remains to be determined. HONG KONG.—Additional telegraphic despatches from Hong Kong yesterday mention that the exports of new tea to date were 13 , 000,0001 b., and of silk 2,200 bake. The insurgents were still attacking Canton, aid were in possession of the whole of the surrounding country, the general expectation being that the city would be forced to yield. There had been no more arrivals of tea, and some which was near Canton had been taken back into the country. At Shanghai there had been large settle ments of green tea. In silk there was little doing, and prices were high for the finer descriptions. Samqua had been dismissed from office and ordered to Pekin. LOSS Or • SWEDISH STEAMER.—COPENHAGEN, Oct. 13.—The Swedish Government steamer Gylfe, returning from Norrland, was totally wrecked on the sth inst., near Orefrundsgripet. The crew were saved. The advices from Spain mention, as a favourable cir cumstance for the interests of the foreign bondholders, that Don Luis de Mariategui has been elected deputy for the province of St. Sebastian. He has been much i n England, and has connections with many of the prin cipal firms of London and the Continent. The present Minister of Finance was also among the candidates for the province, but was unsuccessful. The total value of the gold and sovereigns reported from Australia yesterday, is 554,1001., the Queen of the South steamer from Sydney and Melbourne having 64,000 ounces and 160,000 sovereigns ; the Saldanha, 33,072 ounces ; and the Templar, 1,080 ounces and 1,500 sovereigns. In addition to this the Severn, from Brazil, has brought 16,000/., making an aggregate of 570,0001. According to the advices from Liverpool the affairs of Mr. M'Henry have been t h row n into Ch of more y b h so an a me relatives, and there is little prospect t fractional dividend. The expectations lately entertained of a good arrangement of the affairs of Mr. Oliver seem also to have been abandoned. A MERICA N RAILWAYS.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, 15 A.M.—The hull of the Ajax, which struck on the rocks n ear the 11 Mewstone yesterday afternoon, is now completely under water, and the ship is no doubt fast break ing up. Her funnel and rigging have disappeared, but her masts are still standing. The ship and cargo were worth nearly 60,0001. She was built about seven years ago, and was con sidered the best ship ou the line. The sea is now (eleven a.m.) making a breach over her. The cause of the unfortunate occurrence is solely owing to the captain keeping too near the shore. STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of thi4 day.) MANCHESTER, Oct. 13.—A very few words will suffice to describe the state of our market. During the present week, there has been less of that distrust which was so prevalent last week. There is hardly anything worth calling a demand fur any yarns except certain qualities of 30's to 36's twist and weft in the cop, which are just now scarce, with an upward tendency in price. In India yarns there is nothing doing; and the Germans and home manu facturers are very backward buyers. Yet prices remain very steady. A concession of ?,d. per lb. from the rates current before the abortive attempt at an advance on the 3d inst. is only partially obtainable from spinners. To day the general tone of the market is rather worse than it was in the preceding part of the week. Some effect of an unfavourable kind is produced by the less promis ing aspect which the affairs of Mr. Edward Oliver and Messrs. M'llenry and Co. appear to be assuming. GLASGOW, Oct. 13.—We have had a moderate demand for cotton during the week ; and although prices cannot be quoted lower, they were slightly in favour of the buyer. BRADFORD, Oct. 12.—Wools— The purchases now making are very small indeed ; so much is the produc tion curtailed in the worsted trade, that there is not 50 per cent. consumed compared with 1852. Nails and broke!, from actual scarcity, command good prices. YarnsL- The business of the worsted spinner is very bad. Pieces —lt is impossible to produce goods except at a great loss. NorrnzaHAlr, Oct. 12.—The state of the commercial affairs of the town does not warrant us in giving a more encouraging account for either the lace or hosiery branches than we have presented for many weeks past. LEICESTER, Oct. 12.—An average seasoa's business is doing in all branches except the glove trade, which has only partially revived. WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, Oct. 13.--The merchants having concluded their purchases for the autumn trade are now operating with caution, and the markets have been of a rather flat and quiet character this week. On Saturday there were part inquiries for true wool black cloth, but as the manufacturers are very chary in making true colours except to order, the demand was not adequately met. In beavers, pilots, and other heavy goods, there was a limited business done. Tuesday's market in the Coloured Cloth-hall was sluggish, but in the White Market a 'rather better tone prevailed, and a fair quantity of cloth had changed owners when the time for closing the market ended the day's operations. Prices remain without change, and stocks without any material altera tion. There has been no change in the state of trade in the warehouses during the c urrent week. HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. . 10.—The complaint of a flat market to-day was more general than we have noticed for some time. In the Cloth-ball the chief business was to turn over and air their stocks.

HALIFAX, Oct. 7.—We have had only a dull market in nearly every department of the trade. Prices are quoted stationary, though in reality the position of things is such as to favour tha buyers both of goods and the raw material. . MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) sus.-The Mining Market has been very active this week, and a large amount of business transacted in several mines, both dividend and speculative. North Robert and Sortridge Consols have been the favourite speculative mines, and the price in both has continued to rise without interruption-the former having reached 23/. (a rise of 91. per share in the week) ; and Sortridge, 41. ss. to 4/. 'los. South Tamar, 9/. to 91. 53. ; West Providence, 19/. ; Alfred Consols, 19/. ; East Russell, 21. ; North Bassett, 181. 10s. to West Basset, 30/. to 30/. 108 . ; Osedd, 1/. 15s. to 21. Bedford United, 9/. 10s. to 91 . 15i. ; South Caradon, 280/. to 290/. • West Caradon, 1901. ; Own Darren, 7s. Gil. to 10s. ; 'Mary Ann, 361. to 371., and inquired after. In West Sortridge larXe transactions have taken place, and shares have advanced to 103. North fling ston, ss. to 7s. 6d. In Gold Mining Shares, the market throughout the week has been stationary, with the exception of Noveau Monde, which rose yesterday from 2s. 6d. to ss. SPOR TES CESAREWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE. The Cesarewitch was the bo all and all of the attrac tion at Newmarket. Prior to the race little else was talked about, and after it the performances of the diffe rent competitors, and their effect on the Cambridgeshire chances, formed the leading topic of conversation. The result of the race created no surprise ; the saved and bottled-up Muscovite at last " brought off the good thing" for which he had been so long and patiently re served. He achieved the victory with consum mate ease, and proved, what has been often asserted but seldom believed, that when well and meant no horse in England can give him weight. To this opinion, which was widely entertained by his partisans, I gave expression in the notes despatched from head-quarters on Monday. By the way, the information which I hastily gathered, and as hastily communicated to the reader ou Monday, was almost literally correct, especially that portion of it which related to Muscovite, Rodo-meli, Cobnut, D. 0., and Rattle. A more unsatisfactory settling—save the mark—was n c e e v sa er rel a v t i t te e l m i p o te than n d wrecinn t c h s a d t ay. which Eq t u o iv ok oca i t laa on nge excuses were more plentiful than money, and people who had large winning balances had their books " spoiled" by bad debts. One large speculator was "hit" for 20,0001., but he will doubtless be ultimately enabled to discharge all liabilities .in full. Captain H---- undertook to ar range matters with Mr. S—'s creditors, and fulfilled his diplomatic mission most successfully. Two months was granted, I believe, to Mr. S to pay one-third of his debts, and two years the remainder. He, therefore, entered the ring on Wednesday, with 15,0001., and partially settled. Two fellows received large sums and bolted. One of them, a Mr. P—, had no standing in the ring, but impudence carried him through. If gentlemen will bet with such fellows they must expect to be ultimately victimised. The ring is, in fact, infested with adventurers who regularly on every great race "go for the gloves." The ranks of the "little men" have been thinned by the success of Muscovite, and the turf market is long likely to be " tight" and dull from the bad effect of the settling. The winners are mainly confined to the owners of Muscovite and their friends ; among the book makers, Mr. Davis was, I be lieve, the most fortunate. Rattle's running deservedly caused him to be advanced to a leading position in the list of quotations on the Cambridgeshire. Scherz, too, ran sufficiently forward in the early part of the race to excite expectations of his chance. Orinoco is also in strong demand ; and if the report `which states that Rattle was tried with Mr. Stanley's horses be true, his owner has a pretty trustworthy " line " by which to measure his chance. The movements relative to Monie Moses have caused some little curiosity. During the past week this horse has been heavily backed ; ho was once advanced to 16 to 1, but a determined opposition again caused him to retrograde to 25 to 1. I confess to a partiality for this horse's chance, but I am not acquainted with the intentions of his party, neither am I a master of their tactics. It is said that the bona fide owner of the horse wishes to stand "a good round sum to nothing," and unless he can be accommodated he will exercise what control he pleases over the horse. Motile Mosies, it is reported, can do anything with Black Swan! John Os borne's mare, Helena, receives steady support, but it is whispered that a young 'un belonging to his stable may yet represent his interest. Hervine, who beat Orestes and others at Chantilly on Saturday the 7th inst., must not be overlooked. I will enter into a discussion of the Warwick pro gramme on Monday. Oct. 14. A FRESH MAN. THE PIER RIOTS AT LONDON-BRIDGE, Yesterday afternoon the Southwark police-court was excessively crowded by watermen, lightermen, and others connected with the river Thames, summonses having been obtained by James Law, a waterman ' and Mr. Thomas Pillow, a lightermau, against Mr. John Burney and Mr. Lewis Haslewood, directors of the Citi zen steam-boats, for obstructing the stairs on the Surrey eastern side of London-bridge, by planing a dumb lighter and lauding stage there, also with stopping up the right of way on the river Thames, contrary to the regulations of the bye-laws of the Watermen's Company. The placing of this pier created considerable excite. ment and disturbance about a month ago. The harbour master at the time brought the matter before Mr. Combe at this court. The assistant harbour master then said that the barges of Mr. Pillow, who was then delinquent, was an obstruction, and on that gentleman removing it, he (the assistant harbour master) intended to prevent any other obstruction. Since then the Citizen Steam boat Company have constructed a pier with dumb lighter, &c., and the present summonses were accord ingly taken out a few days ago. Mr. Pulling appeared for the complainants ; and Mr. Cattarns, the solicitor to the Citizen Steamboat Com pany, for the defendant , . Mr. Pulling, in opening the case, stated that the first case he should bring before his worship was tile charge made by Law, the waterman, against the defendants, which was for the infringement of the bye-laws of the Watermen's Company. The complainant had his bread to earn on the river, and especially at the London - bridge stairs, where the defendants had constructed a floating pier. The defendants, in the dead of the night, came to London-bridge with a steam-boat, lighters, and every thing necessary, and so constructed a pier without inter ruption, and without at all consulting the interests of the watermen or the convenience of the public, who had a right to use those stairs. The complainant was a free waterman, and that was his proper plying place, but he was prevented from carrying on his avocation there through the obstruction made by the defendants. The learned counsel called James Richard Law, who said—l am a free water man, and I use the eastern stairs on the Surrey side of London -bridge. They are public, used by the boats of her Majesty's ship Crocodile, lying off the Tower, and other watermen and lightermen. The Crocodile's boat was a twelve-oared pinnace, and used the stairs two or three times a week. Many boats also brought sick people from ships to be carefully conveyed to the hos pitals ; besides, the stairs were much frequented on market days. I have used them according to the tide until prevented by the defendants' obstruction. Oa the morning of the 6th inst., about one o'clock, I wanted to get to the stairs with my skiff, but I was prevented by a dumb lighter, and a brow or landing place, which was attacked to the former and fixed fo the bottom steps of the bridge. There are also piles driven into the ground near that place by the defendants' direction, and under the arch of the bridge. The barge was partially under the bridge, and ono end came across the stairs. The brow or landing place had one end resting on it, and the other end on the stairs, so that at low water it was im possible to get near the watermen's causeway. When I was there that morning I saw Mr. Hazlewood, Mr. Burney, and others, giving orders in placing the pier. They were in fact commanders-in-chief. (Laughter.; When I tried to get in with my skiff I called their atten. tion to the obstruction. Mr. llaslewood said, " Skove her out." I said lam not able to shove her out ' • she has no business there. llasle wood then said, " You may summon me if you like, and do what you can." An hour and a half afterwards I was able to get my skiff in, but shortly afterwards the obstruction was replaced, and still remained so. The dummy and platform pre vented my boat and any other craft and the due and ordinary passing of boats into the stairs. Mr. A'Beckett—llid you say any others prevented I Witness—No, I did not, sir ; but I am sure they were so, and are at the present time. Mr.. Pulling here put in a drawing of the place, taken by Mr. Martin, a surveyor, but Mr. Cattarus objected to its reception, as the draughtsman could not prove the actual measurement of the stairs at low water. Ho then called William Hunt, a waterman, who said—l was at London-bridge-stairs (East Surrey side) at ono o'clock on the morningof the 6th instant, when I saw a Citizen steam-boat with a dummy, and brow, or landing-place, near the stairs. Toe barge and brow were fixed by the defendants. The former was fixed with chains, and projected eight feet from the bridge across our stairs. It was not removed that day, and has remained in the same position ever since. The dummy is in their way, and in coining to the stairs with their boats full of passengers, they cannot help knocking up against it to the imminent danger of their own lives and that of the passengers. Any person not accustomed to a boat coming with one to the stairs would be almost sure to get drowned. Mr. Cattarns—l was not aware of such evidence. All I thought against us was for preventing Law from getting into his boat. This appears all new to me. Mr. Pulling then put in a printed copy of the Water men's Bye-laws, dated 1836, when .Mr. Cattarns objected to their being received. There had been two editions since. Besides that, he must have there legally produced. Mr. Pulling—There is the printed book. That is sufficient. Mr. Cattarns—l contend that it is not. You must have the clerk of the Waterman's Company to prove it. legally. Mr. A'Beckett—Certainly. It must be done in a legal manner ; and as it appears you cannot do so now, the case had better be adjourned. After a deal of conversation on both sides, it was ulti mately arranged that both summonses should stand adjourned until Thursday nett, at three o'clock, when the ofllcers of the Watermen's Company will be in vex attendance.

We lave been favoured by a correspondent with the following particulars respecting the Guards' officers who have suffered at the Alma : Lieutenant-Colonel Augustus Cox, of the Grenadier Guards, after leading his company gallantly to victory in the Battle of the Alma, proceeded with his regiment in the march to Balaklava, being greatly exhausted, and refus ing even then to mount the horses readily offered by the staff. His strength at length failed him, and, placed on a gun-carriage, he was conveyed into the Port of Balaklava, and on board the Caradoc, where, after great suffering; he expired at 4 o'clock ou the next morning. His remains were buried the next day (the 27th) in an orchard adjoining the quarters of Lord Raglan. This gallant young officer was the fourth son of R. H. Cox, Esq., of Hillingdon house, and his untimely and sad end has cast a deep gloom over the brigade. He was universally beloved, and the Duke of Cambridge and Lord Raglan were among those of his comrades in arms who have written to express their sympathy and condolence with his af flicted family. The following officers are under orders to proceed forthwith to the Crimea :—The Hon. Ashley Ponsonby, M.P., Grenadier Guards ; Lieutenant-Colonel De Bathe, Lieutenant-Colonel Fordyce, Captain P. Paget, Captain Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest, Lieutenant Gregory, and Lieutenant Farquharson, Scots Fusilier Guards. Colonel Crombie, of the Coldstream Guards, whose death was several times believed and reported to have taken place, has, after easy stages, arrived at Brighton in a very debilitated state, but with every hope of an ultimate recovery. Among those who gallantly distinguished themselves in the Battle of the Alma was Mr. C. P. Lane Fox, nephew of the Duke of Leeds , and a late Lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards, from which regiment he retired soma mouths since, but subsequently followed his regiment to the East, and was appointed aid-decamp to Brigadier Beatson, with the Bashi-Bazouks under the title of Yseph Bey. Upon their disbandment, however, he landed with the brigade of Guards in the Crimea, and appeared upon the battlefield in a shooting jacket ; catching the first stray horse in his path, he was indefa tigable in gettipg up animunition, and was complimented for his conduct by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge on the field. At the close of the action he was shot through the ankle, and in that state bore Cap tain Charles Baring, of the Coldstream Guards, who had lost his arm, off the field. This gallant young volunteer is now lying at Constantinople, anxiously hoping his wound will permit his appearance in good time at Sebas topol. THE END OF TEE BALTIC CAMPAIGN The campaign in the Baltic may now, wo presume, be considered at an end, and some variety of opinion will pro bably be formed with respect tothe result of our operations in those waters. The British squadron has undoubtedly excluded the fleets of the Czar from the use of the sea, and, if we observe the success with which the Russian cruisers in the Pacific contrive to elude our frigates, and the disturbance occasioned by their known presence in those parts, we shall be better able to appreciate the value of a blockade which has kept such troublesome visitors from the highways of the ocean and the coasts of our own islands. Every maritime outlet of the Russian empire has been sealed up by our ships, our flag has been carried up to the shores of the enemy, and he has been insulted by open challenge and de- fiance at the very mouths of his guns. One step further has been taken. A specimen of the granite fortifications on which his reliance is placed was actually assailel by the allies, and in this trial of strength between the resources of the belligerents the superiority was found so wholly on our side that Bomarsund was taken not only without loss, but, comparatively speaking, without effort. Finally the entire fleet despatched on this mission has been preserved from injury. Not withstanding the notorious difficulties of the navigation all casualties have been escaped, nor is there so much as the loss of a single cruiser to be set down to the adverse side of the account. Looking broadly at the matter, and speaking candidly, we think we might say thatsuch aresult would, upon the whole, have been generally accepted six months ago as a tolerably favourable conclusion. Of course, there. were persons who thought that Cronstadt ought to be taken and the Russian fleets brought to Spit head within five weeks or so, but the great body of Ene- glishmen know and felt that, the first duty of our - Adruirias was to maintain a thorough and effectual blockade, with out exposing their ships to unnecessary danger. Against the fleet of the enemy our fleet would, of course, have proceeded at once, and it will be remembered that the first division of vessels despatched to the Baltic was so inferior in number to the Russian squadron that nothing could have been more defiant than the challenge thrown out. But such fighting as this was not in the Czar's de signs. What he wished was to allure our ships into an engagement with his shore fortifications, so that, after ' our walls of wood bad got the worse against his walls of rock, his fleets might sail out of their skulking-places and find easy work with our shattered and discomfited squadrons. This was the risk to be escaped, and this risk has indeed been escaped, while the fleets of the enemy have been confined within their fortified harbours. Nevertheless, we shall probably not be wrong in surmis ing that the preponderant feeling on this question will be one of dissatisfaction, and this conclusion will find some justification in argument. Such results as those described, however desirable in themselves, aro certainly not cow ' mensurato with the magnitude of the means employed. Of such a fleet as we despatched to the Baltic more might natu rally be expected than that it should come safe home again. A naval force so powerful, so well manned , and so admi rably appointed, never left the shores of this or any other kingdom. Its equipment in regard to strength and re sources was perfect beyond example. Every ship was a stupendous machine of offence, and engines of destruction unheard of in past times were at the command of men and officers inferior to none who ever sailed. Surely, some thing more than was at first designed might have been achieved with such a squadron. It would be unfair to shape our conclusions by any contrast with the operations in the Crimea. Each campaign should be estimated by it self ; but, even thus, the reports from the Baltic leave much to be desired. Undoubtedly it was wise to avoid the trap which the Czar had laid for us in front of his bat teries ; but after the result or the Bomarsund experiment it seems natural to inquire both why that experiment could not have been tried earlier, and why so satisfactory an issue was not more effectually followed up. The attack upon the Aland Isles taught the fleet and the world that granite ramparts were not impregnable to cannon shot, nor did all the boasted resources at the command of the besieged, such as red-hot balls, &c.. produce the destruc tion, or even the jeopardy of a single vessel of the attack ing force. It is true that a large body of land troops as sisted at the operations, but it is also true that this rein forcement proved to be quite unnecessary, and if among the marines of the allied fleets there were 500 or 600 who could use the Minio rifle with effect, the whclo affair might have been accomplished at any moment by the un aided forces of the squadrons themselves. Although, moreover, wo have bearded the enemy in his own strong holds, it is hardly to bo conceived but what our indisposi tion to close with his artillery must have given him in creased confidence in his own defences. The very demon strations, too, which wo made in the way of reconnoitring and sounding may have had the effect of showing him his weak points, and of enabling him to strengthen them against future attack. It cannot, however, be denied that these disappoint ments are in some measure traceable to errors of judgment on the part of those who were charged with the equip ment of the fleet. The truth is that our attention had never been Oirectecl to this species of warfare. The con tingencies which wo had in contemplation were those of an ordinary war, with its regular sea-fights maintained by great line-of-battle ships, no new elemeat except that of steam power being taken into account. We made ready to engage the Russian fleet yardarm to yardarm at any odds, and we despatched our three-dockers accordingly. But, when it came to practice, we found that no such trial of this sort was to be anticipated, and that the Russian squadrons had intrenched themselves, if the expression be allowable, behind fortifications which could not be reached, like those of the Alma, by an undaunted advance. Our first-rates, especially those unprovided with screws, turned out to be useless, and wo believe that not one of them up to the present moment has fired a single allotted gun. On the other hand, the vessels most particularly needed were not forthcoming. We wanted a smaller species of craft, offering little or no mark to the enemy's shot, but armed with very heavy guns, and moveable at great speed with a light draught of water. Such, in fact, are the gun-boats recently launched, and if a good force of these, with some powerful floating batteries, had been attached to the fleet, we should have had a better title to look for substantial results. Even then, however, it would always be necessary to keep a di vision ofliue-of-battle ships in reserve,otherwise theßussians seeing only gun-boats before them, might take heart of grace, sally out, surround some small craft with their three-dockers, and repeat their performances at Sinope. Putting recrimination aside, wo cannot do better, now that the campaign is ended, than turn its lessons to good account for advantage in the ensuing spring. By that time the allies will probably have their Black Sea fleets disengaged, so that large reinforcements might be despatched to the Baltic. It does not seem, however, that reinforcements of this kind are really called for. Our squadrons, as already constituted, have proved quite strong enough to scare the Russians from the seas, while as to attacks upon shore fortifications it is clear that large vessels, unless moved and handled like the Agamemnon, cannot be brought into action. We have learnt that can non-shot can destroy granite walls, or at least such granite walls as are built by Russian engineers, and the object is to provide such a class of floating batteries as will carry our guns up to their work. The exertions now made in this direction offer a sure guarantee that the end will bo soon secured, and a second campaign, undertaken Kith better appreciation of our relative power, awl condnc 1 with more enterprise, will speedily pr oduce, wo hav_oolsiot t 0 e: at doubt, results considerably more p ositive than those present achieved.—Times.

ROYAL PATRIOTIC FUND. A "Patriotic Fund" has been established under the patronage of the Queen. The document which gives the Royal sanction to the fund in question is one of the last which could have been signed by ber Majesty before leaving Balmoral. The date of the signature, the 7th of October, shows the readiness of her Majesty to patro nise any movement having for its object the pro tection and support of the relatives of those who have fallen in defence of their country. Prince Albert figures at the head of the _ commissioners as might have beee expected. The Prince Consort could scarcely have been absent from a commission the object of ;which is to administer relief to a large num ber of her Majesty's subjects. An admixture of men of all parties shows that the wish has been in forming the commission to include all Englishmen who, however widely they may differ in politics, are united in ono ob ject—that of maintaining the honour of their country. and alleviating the miseries of those who have experi. 'mood losses in consequence of their direct or indirect participation in the war. All parties come forward to aid in the great work of softening the horrors of the contest. The preamble of the document states that many of her Majesty's subjects, being anxious to testify their loyalty and love by a just and generous benevolence towards the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in battle, it is expedient to take measures for the safe cus tody and application of the funds that may be subscribed for this purpose. To this end commissioners are ap pointed. In the list there are some strange juxtaposi tions. The misery—not of themselves, but of others— has made the commissioners acquainted with " strange bedfellows." The Duke of Newcastle and the Earl of Derby pair off most amicably. Viscount Palmerston, the Baron St. Leonards, and Sir J. Pakington appear in conjunction. Not only, however, are all parties made to join in the great object of administering charity, but all classes are brought together for the same purpose. The ancient aristocrats, who fancied that to them alone was to be entrusted the official alleviation of the sorrows of their fellow-countrymen, would stare to find their noble brethren associated with Joseph Hume and Samuel Morton Peto in a grand patriotic endeavour. All these and various others of all ranks and all opinions are ap pointed by her Majesty " to make full and diligent in quiry into the best mode of aiding the loyalty and bene volence of her Majesty's loving subjects, and of ascer taining the best means by which their gifts and contri butions may be best applied, according to the generous intentions of the donors thereof." The Patriotic Fund will afford a means to all classes of testifying their sympathy towards those who are suf ferers in a national contest. The battle is not between England and Russia. It is between Englishman and the Czar. We are all anxious to make sacrifices. We are all eager to testify our devotion. If we are far from participation in the actual deeds of arms, we are still intensely desirous of mitigating the sufferings of the con nexions of our fellow-countrytneu who have perished in battle. It is not only the Sovereign who is interested in the result of the tremendous struggle in which we are en gaged. We feel that the fight is a personal one. Each man is an enemy of the Czar. Each Englishman feels himself a relative of those who have fallen. The widows and orphans of those who have died on the heights of the Alma are connected with the inhabitants of the country by ties scarcely less sacred than those which originate in relationship by blood. " The Patriotic; Fund" thus commends itself to the notice of the whole country, and its success is certain. The manner in which the objects of the commission are intended to be carried out is simple enough, and appears calculated to be successful. A large , number of commissioners, including, as has been observed, men of all parties, have been appointed. The commission will doubtless soon resolve itself into a select working body. The commissioners aro empowered to call before them all such persons connected with the civil, military, and naval services as they may judge necessary in order to become better informed of " all matters and things most desirable to be done and performed." Secretaries are appointed, and the lorti lieutenant, sheriffs, and custodes rotulorum, with other persons mentioned in the com mission, are named "Commissioners in Aid" to encourage and assist the establishment of local committees. The nomination of regular constituted officers and committees to be the channel of the efforts of private benevolence .ievo is a great step in the right direction. A most mischievous the check has been lately given to individual f charity by o u n b l e y e j u e g c t i f o a o : r similar to those to which the oWcials Patriotic alleged misappropriation of funds s uhs t e i r e ib F ed ue o t r f p ie ur t p e os b e e e applied.

One of the passengers by the Queen of the South brought home the largest nugget, considering its purity. that has yet been found in Australia. It weighs 62 ounces, and consists of almost pure gold ; scarcely a spot can be seen on it ; it is one mass of pure gold. It was dug out just as it appears, 150 feet beneath the surface, at Ballarat. In shpe it resembles a large clinker. It covers the palm of a the hand, and averages n early half an inch in thickness.

PR,ussi. 'We have received communications from several cor• respondents in which it is alleged that for the facilities afforded to Russian commerce, at Memel and on the Vistula, the British and not the Prussian Government is to blame. The writers of these letters leave entirely out of view the fact that the Prussian Government has at least twice allowed large quantities of lead to be shipped from Bromberg to Warsaw on account of the Russian Government for the mannufacture of bullets : by allowing the shipment, therefore, the Prussian Go vernment has connived at or sanctioned the transmission of contraband of war from its ports to the interior of Russia. As for the exportation of flax and other Russian pro• duce from Memel, that is attribut e d by th e correspond ents we allude to entirely to the recognition by the British Government, at the commencement of hostilities of the principle " tree flag m akes free goods." They who make this allegation forget to ask themselves wheth er the Bri tish Government could avoid recognising the principle ? In the present as inmost wars, there are three parties to be considered—the two belligerents and neutrals. Neu trals have rights as well as belligerents ; and one of these neutral rights is that the belligerents, while fighting out their quarrel, shall inflict as little annoyance or hindrance upon the trade of the neutrals as possible ; Unless the principle of "free flag make s free goods be admitted, right ch by t he c e r y i r E y e rns e o u f t t r h al e h v e e l s l s i e g l e r i o n e u t s s t . 1) r ; h l e i a e b x l e er t c o is e s eoafr of search has been found extremely liable to abuse. Ors this account an attempt was made (for the first time) about the middle of last century, to establish the principle " free flag makes free goods," which must have the effect of limiting the right of search to such vessels as could reasonably be sus pected of carry ing. contraband of war. The benefit of this lninta tion to neutrals is obvious ; for what concerns bellige rents its operation is "as broad as it is long." If "free flag makes free goods," it follows of course that "unfree flag makes unfree goods." Any advantage which neu tral traders, under the application of the principle, may have over traders the subjects of belligerents is a neces sary consequence of the one being at peace and the other at war. In equity the British Government could not re fuse to adopt the principle "free flag makes free goods ;" as a matter , of policy it could no t re f use it. The history , of the armed neutrality" ought to convince every rea soning man that, by refusing to recognise the principle, England would run the risk of converting all the Powers now neutral (the United States included) into enemies. Had the Prussian Government only allowed its sub jects to avail ththemselvesof the advantages derivable from the recognition of this principle it w ou ld on ly h a ve been acting in its own right. But what is i n iq u it ous in the conduct of Prussia is its allowing its subjects at Memel to lend themselves to transactions by which pro duce the property of Ru ssi a n subjects is made to appear the property of non Russian subjects. It is boastfully recorded by a Russian journal that the trade in Russian produce on the Niemen is principally carried on by the parties who have hitherto been engaged in the extensive smuggling operations carried on along that frontier. It appears from the extraordinary precautions which the authorities have been obliged to take since the fire at Memel, to prevent depreda tions, that the trade in Russian produce has drawn together a dangerous number of irregular characters in that town. These circumstances corroborate the strong suspicions which have gone abroad that the duties for merly imposed upon Russian produce crossing the Prus• sian frontier have not been faithfully collected since the beginning of hostilities, and that Custom-house certifi cates of goods being the property of non-Russian sub jects have been issued without proper evidence having been demanded as to whose property they really were. These are the acts on the part of the Prussian Govern ment and it functionaries which are justly complained of as violations of neutrality.
