MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 3,000 American taken for export and on speculation. The market was steady, without change in prices. The sales comprised 6,800 American, 300 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., 8,00 Surat at 21d. to 4id., and 50 Sea Island at is. to ls. Bd. per lb. Railway Shares were dull, and prices declining. • The Corn Market is higher again this morning, and the arrivals are very small. The markets abroad are generally rising. Letters from Birmingham state that the iron trade continues active, very large orders having been taken at present figures. Pig iron has ad vanced 2s. 6d. to 6s. upon the prices current a month since. From New York, by the steamer Arabia, we learn that the stock market was active, the money market having become easier. A general improve ment was expected in the prices of stocks. During the week ending September 30, the shipments of specie amounted to 1,109,303 dollars. This amount was much larger than was expected, but after this month it is stated the exportation will be reduced, and if California continues her usual remittances the stock will probably begin to accumulate in New York. The report of the operations of the United States mint showed a falling off in the deposits of the precious metals this year as compared with last. This is chiefly attributable to the fact that since the establishment of the mint at San Fran cisco the remittances thence have been made to a material extent in coin. _ _ The ship Red Jacket, from Australia, brings dates as late as August 2, and about 200,0001. in gold dust and specie. Trade had not improved to any extent, nor was much alteration expected until the season began. A strong movement was making to obtain an alteration of the postage in Victoria, raised by the Legislature previous to the retire ment of the late Governor. A uniform penny postage was much desired. Accounts from Hamburgh state that several steamers which were on the station between that port and England, had been taken up by our Ad miralty for the purpose of conveying materials of war to the East. _ . . -- --- At St. Petersburg, as early as the 7th inst., the winter had commenced, and the navigation of the river Neva was expected soon to be interrupted. The military preparations continued on a grand scale, and the patriotic gifts were stated to be com ing in very large, the newspapers containing long lists of money contributed in various provinces of the empire, with the names of the donors, includ ing corporations, the nobility, and the merchants. The schools for cadets had received more applica tions from youths anxious to be educated for a mi litary career than they could entertain. In Finland two ordinances had been issued. The one limits to two instead of three months, the period during which it shall be permitted until the crops of 1855 are secured to distil grain for the manufacture of brandy. The other decree makes a reduction to 25 kopeks per lb. in the duty upon salt, owing to the scarcity of the article. Riga letters state that as the English cruisers bad left the neighbourhood of that port, the mer chants hoped yet to do some trade with the adja cent places before the navigation closed. There has been a flat market for public securities, and the want of speculative business, with some anxiety respecting commercial affairs, occasions a heavy tone, even in the absence of large sales. Consols have been 94a to for transfer, and 94i to 95 for account. The New 31- per Cents. have been 931 to and the 3 per Cents. 93i to Bank Stock has been as high as 210, though since done at 208. The Reduced 3 per Cents. have been 93g to Exchequer Bills have been quoted 4s. to 75., and East India Bonds '‘'s to 10s. premium. Exchequer Bonds have been 99/ Foreign Securities have been dull. Mexican Bonds have been rather heavy at 24 i ; but there is no news of interest calculated to effect them. Spanish 3 per Cents. have been at 381, and the New De ferred at 18/. The Turkish Scrip is about 2/ to 3 premium. Venezuela Deferred Bonds have been done at 10.

This is settling day in the Railway Share Mar ket, and, relatively, prices are better supported than for the funds. The rates of interest charged for " carrying over" are lower than they were a fortnight since. • The Great Northern line has been again in favour, and Midland are steady. Cale donian and North-Western much the K. me. The foreign lines have been quieter, but maintain their price. In Mines there is no activity, the Banks aro firm, and Ciystal Palace and other miscellaneous shares without alteration.

SlR,—The harrowing details of the condition of the wounded after the battle of Alma have excited no less astonishment than sympathy in the public mind ; but the conclusion that the army is without medical officers, medicines, and medical comforts is not necessarily cor rect. Of all these there may be at the seat of war a sup ply more than adequate to much greater demands, and yet the circumstances attending a great battle—an army in motion after victory—might cause confusion enough to render unavailable the most abundant resources. Thus, after the battle of Chillianwallah, 270 wounded men of the 24th lay scattered about, and little attention could be given to their wounds for 18 hours, because the water-carriers had fled from the field. So in the present instance, to organise a suitable provision for the wounded in their passage to Scutari or Constantinople was perhaps at the time simply impossible, in an army marching on, as it was deemed, to A second contest and a fresh vic tory ; but now that they have arrived at these places, ' doubtless everything will he done for the survivors that science and philanthropy can devise to promote their comfort and well being. That the ccminon articles, lint, bandages, linen, c., have not been furnish ed in quan tities sufficient for far greater emergencies, it is ridicu lous to suppose ; but were it the cas,,, most of these arc easily obtained in the bazaars in Constantinople. The sympathy of England need not therefore exhibit itself in this direction. What our suffering countrymen will most want is that which England can alone supply — good meat and drink ; and these should be forwarded without delay in the shape of preserved soups, meats, &C., port,,r, port wine, &c. Arrow-root and similar things miy be dispensed with or sent in smaller quan tity ; they are fit enough for our fever hospitals, but not adapted to heal wounds or supply fresh blood to the exhausted system.—Yours obediently, MEDICAL orricEß, SHARE MARKETS: (THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of English wheat on sale, in most of the country markets held on Saturday, were moderate. All kinds sold readily, and prices advanced is to 2s per quar ter. Barley—the show of which was rather on the in crease—commanded a brisk inquiry, at fully is per quarter more money. Malt was firm, but oats wore rather neglected. Beans, poas, and flour sold at very full prices. The Continental markets have been firm for most articles, but the business doing for shipment to .England is small. Accounts from New York to the 4th inst. state that both wheat and flour were dull, and drooping in price. Very moderate supplies of English grain arrived up to our market last week. Tho imports of foreign were only 1,345 quar ters of wheat, 5,000 barley, 7,533 oats, 1,361 beans, 1,065 peas, 4,129 linsee I, 302 rape seed, 79 mustard seed, 840 sundry seeds, and five barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up Ito our market to-day coastwise and by laad carriage wore moderato and in good condition. As the attendance of millers was on the increase there was rather a brisk demand for all kinds of home grown wheat at au advance in the quotations ob tained on Monday last of 4s per quarter, and the whole of the supply changed hands. It is stated that millers almost generally are by no means heavily stocked, notwithstanding the late extensive sales. Wo were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. The trade was decidedly active, and a good business was transacted in all descriptions, at 4s. por qurter above the rates current on this day se'nnight. The few floating cargoes off Fal►nouth were held for more money. The show of English barley was small—of foreign tolor-• ably extensive. The trade was brisk, and prices advanced quite le per quarter. We had a good inquiry for malt the supply of which was tolerably good, and the quotations were the turn higher. The supplies of oats were again limited. Buyers pur chased somewhat freely, at from 6d to is per quarter above last week's quotations. We had a good demand for beans, the prices of which improved is per quarter. All kinds of peas commanded is per quarter more money. The flour trade was active, and the quotations were on the advance. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very extensive, but wo observed no improvement in its quality. We were again heavily supplied with home-fed beasts, yet at least a moiety of them were beneath the middle quality. The few fine breeds on offer were, therefore, in good request at fully last Monday's currency, the top figure for Scots being 4s 10.1 per 81bs. ; otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, yet we have no actual change to notice in prices. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,903 short horns ; from other parts of England; 550 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 20 horned and polled Scots. There was a material falling off in the supply of sheep compared with Monday last. The demand for all kinds was, therefore, steady at prices fully equal to those of last week. We were moderately supplied with calves in which , about an average business was transacted at Friday's im provement in value. Pigs commanded rather morel attention at full quota. tions. The supply was modery good. The arrivals of stock direct by sea from Ireland, last week, were 77 beasts and 78 pigs. Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were again moderate—the total supply amounting to 8,002 head. In the corresponding week f 853 we received 11,417; in 1852, 8,202 ; in 1851, 6,911 ; in 1850, 7,8)0; in 1849, 4,698 ; in 1848, 5,056 and in 1847, 3,471 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK.

As all parties aro waiting the result of the public sales, our market is in a very inactive state. Foreign and colo nial wools command full prices, but English qualities are rather easier to purchase. Last week's imports were 509 bags from Hamburgh, 100 from New York, and 11 from Jaffa.

INTURN OF TITE QUEEN FROM SCOTLAND. In our number of Saturday we described the arrange ments made for the reception of the Queen at Hull and Grimsby, upon the return of the Court from Scotland. The royal train arrived at Hull from Edinburgh a few minutes before six o'clock on Friday evening, and the Queen and Prince were received upon the platform by the chairman and directors of the North-Eastern Rail way, the Mayor and corporation of Hull, the Earl of Yarborough, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Londesborough, Lord Hotham, and Sir Harry Smith. An immense concourse of townspeople and visitors filled the station. The royal party proceeded at once to the Railway Hotel, where addresses were presented from the corporation and local bodies, as described by us on Saturday. The town, which had been decorated during the Oay, was brilliantly illuminated during the night. and thou sands who could not get beds at any price had to walk the streets. The next morning at nine, the mayor, recorder, and corporation were in attendance on the Queen, at the Station Hotel, and at 20 minutes to ten the Sovereign left for the purpose of visiting the town. The first carriage was occupied by the mayor, recorder, and mace-bearer, pre ceded by an advance guard of Hussar s and out-riders, the latter in royal livery. In the next (an open carriage) were seated her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal. The other Royal children were in a carriage immediately following, under the care of the maids of honour. In the fourth carriage sat Lord Aberdeen, Colonel Grey, and Lord Burgbersh, and then came a whole stream of equipages, among wh►ch were those of the Earl of Carlisle and Lord Londesborough. The rear was brought up by a troop of Hussars. The Queen proceeded through Carr-lane, Chariot street, Carlisle-street, Whitefriar-gate, Silver-street, Market-place, Queen-street, and then to the Corporation Pier, amidst the greatest enthusiasm. The royal cortege having arrived at the pier, her Ma jesty ascended the platform, followed by the mayor.and civic authorities. Here the assemblage (a privileged one) were considerably at fault to learn the cause of a momentary bustle within the circle of her Majesty's presence. _ _ . _ - The excitement was occasioned by the fact of the Sovereign at this moment intimating to the Mayor, Dr. Cooper, her intention of marking her appreciation of the reception she had met with by conferring upon him the honour of knighthood. Dr. Cooper having knelt down, her Majesty pro nounced the magic words conferring the unexpected honour, the sword handled by the Sovereign in touching the shoulder of the mayor being that so honourably borne by Lord Burghersh on the heights of the Alma. After this incident her Majesty embarked on board the royal yacht Fairy, commanded on this occasion by the Ilon. Captain Denman. The royal yacht having been ordered to go on, steamed through the Victoria Dock and by the river Hull to the Old Dock, Junction Dock, and Humber Ducks. During the progress of the royal yacht, the ships and craft moored in the docks manned the yards and cheered most lustily. . The Fairy was followed by steamers, in which were the members of the corporation. In the Humber the Sovereign's yacht was joined by the Malacca (17), Capt. Firquhar.. The Queen arrived at Grimsby at one o'clock, amid a salute of 21 guns. The flags of all vessels were imme diately run up. Upon the Queen alighting she was received by the directors of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, who represented the proprietors of the docks, the mayor, high steward, aldermen, council lors, town clerk, and treasurer, and was conducted by them to the reception room and state apartments ; the other members of the corporation followed her Majesty and suite. Her Majesty and Prince Albert received the addresses presented to them by the mayor and the Earl of Yarborough. The addresses were not read. Her Majesty having partaken of luncheon in the saloon, proceeded at a quarter to two o'clock for the railway station, en route for London. The mayor, high stewards, members of the town council, and in igistrates, in their carriages, conducted the royal guest through the town. Arrived at the Great Northern station, the chairman of the company conducted her Majesty to the royal carriage, and, amidst a salute of 21 guns, the train de parted, and did not stop until it arrived at Boston, where the mayor and corporation had a band assembled, which, during the engine's being supplied with water, played the National Anthem. The train departed from Boston amidst the cheers of a large assemblage, and the next stoppage was at Peter borough. Hero the bishop of the diocese presented to the Queen the canons and resident clergy. '• The train then proceeded to London, and arrived at King's cross station at half-past five, just a quarter of an hour before the time anticipated by a large assem blage at the station. _ _ Her Majesty, the Royal Consort, and the Princes and Princesses, having alighted, were escorted by Lord Aberdeen to the royal carriage in waiting. After leaving the interior of the station the Queen was cheered by the, thousands outside the gates and avenues. filer Majesty prodeeded for Windsor direct, accom panied by Lord Aberdeen, Lard Burghersh, Colonel Grey, and the maids of honour. DEPARTURE OF TIIE ROYAL FAMILY FROM OSBORNE. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY. This morning, at 9.30, the Royal tender-yacht, Elfin, under the command of Mr. Alfred Balliston, conveyed her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, with the junior branches of the Royal children, from Osborne to the landing steps of the Royal Clarence Yard, from wheuco they proceeded by the South-Wester* train, en route to Buckingham Palace. The standard at the main on the Elfin was saluted by the garrison battery and ships of war. They were received on landing by the commander in chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane ; and Flag Lieutenant liankey ; the lieutenant governor, Major General Simpson, and staff. HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. The Earl of Clarendon has been in daily attendance at the Foreign-office during the past week. The noble earl left town on Saturday evening, to join the countess at Grove-park, near Watford, Herts.

We have been requested to publish the following oor. respondence : (Copy.) Hampton-court, 14th Oct., 1854. Sir, —ln reference to your letter of the 12th, I have carefully read over the report of my speech at the anal versary meeting of the Ilinchford Agricultural and Con servative Club, as published in the Essex Gazette, which I have just received. I have consulted a friend, on whose judgment I rely, and he considers that the language to which you refer is unduly offensive, in which opinion, on reflection, I coincide. One word—" coward "—slipped out uninten tionally. I therefore retract it • and I beg to express to you my feeling of regret that I should have been be trayed, in the warmth of the moment, into transgressing the fair bounds of courtesy. I remain, your obedient humble servant, (Signed) War. BERIFIFORD. Tho Rt. Hon. Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P. (Copy.)

MADRID, Oct. 10.—The Government have given a passport to the Infante Don Enrique, for the Balearic Islands, via France, so that he may stay in France if ho chooses. It appears that he went to Aranjuez a few days since, and summoned the commanders of all the bat talions of the Madrid National Guard to meet him there ; but with one exception they declined the invitation, and notified it to the Government. He has been obliged to leave that force. There have also been quarrels in the family, the result of which is that Don Francisco de Paula is ill, and the King-Consort came in from the Pardo yesterday to see him. A scurrilous print has been published against him, which is attributed to Don Enrique. It is computed that there will not be more than thirty Moderado deputies in the Cortes. The elec tions for many of the provinces have been post poned till the 24th of this month, on account of the cholera ; and some leading Moderados, who have failed in finding seats hitherto, will then be brought forward. The Marquis Del Duero will pro bably come in for Barcelona. General Dulce is to be brought forward for Seville. The Duke of Rivas will also be a candidate there, with Senors Cortina and Cantero. The Epoca says that after the elections are over, General Infante and Senor Laserna will enter the Ministry. There are reports that Senors Pacheco, Collado, and Santa Cruz will retire from it. SPORTING NOTES. THE MERRY MEETING AT WARWICK. Mr. Merry is again in trouble. His zeal for the suc cess of the meetings under his direction leads him into sad scrapes. In endeavouring to make his handicaps to please all parties he seems to satisfy none, and those owners of horses who consider themselves hardly used by him show him neither favour nor consideration. His failures are exposed and paraded in the newspapers by those very persons whom he wished to oblige and conci liate,. and even his private correspondence with them is unscrupulously published. The Priestess affair will doubtless recur to the memory of the reader as a case in point. Another instance, however, not perhaps so gross and flagrant has been afforded,—Count Batthy any has rushed into print to expose the handicapper's alleged incompetency or partiality. I am, however, fain to confess that the Count falls foul of Mr. Merry without sufficient provovation. He is really too bard upon him. It appears that Mr. Merry wrote to Count Batthyany to tell him that he had " entered Ethelwolf into both handicaps at Warwick, and expected him to accept with him, as the horse was fairly handicapped." The Count was mightily displeased with Mr. Merry's voluntary expression of opinion, and at once sets to work to prove that Ethelwolf was not fairly handi capped. Ile, however, somewhat fails to make out his case ; his arguments are certainly not forcible enough to be conNincing, and neither is the handicapper's alleged unfairness sufficiently glaring to justify the hard things which, inShis wrath, the Count says of Mr. Merry. The proceedings will commence, however, at one o'clock. The prospect of a successful meeting is not very cheering. The fields will, perhaps, in certain in stances be large, but the crippled state of the "Ring" will doubtless cause the attendance to be scanty, and speculation limited alike in its range andoperation. At my present time of writing no trustworthy in formation is to be obtained respecting the starters for the Great Warwick Handicap. Taking, therefore, the chances of the horses handicapped as they appear on paper, I am inclined to believe those of Pantomime, Lady Vernon, Little Davie, D. 0., St. Clare, Mishap, and Diana, are the most favourable. Could I calculate with any certainty upon a start, I should select Panto mime, St. Clare, and D. 0., against the field. Morning Star, Milk Boy, and Veteran form the most attractive lot in the Welter Cup. For the Two-ye ►r-old Stakes my partiality is for the Maid of Cadiz, the Refraction colt, and Ile Sailor. I shall not attempt to indicate the winners of the steeple chases. Oct. 16. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT WARWICK. Falcon, St. Clair. Apostate, Tipperary Boy, Wild Huntsman, and Kaffir.

The following description of the fortress and of Helsingfors is from a book just issued— " The Baltic, its Gates, Shores, and Cities," by the Rev. T. Milner. Helsingfors, the capital of the circle and of the Grand Duchy, was originally founded by Gustavus Wasa in 1550, but on a site between four and five miles to the north-east of the present. He gave it the name of the Swedi-li province of Helsingland, combined with the word fors, a " cascade," from a water-fall at the spot. A colony from that part of Sweden had been in the neigh bourhood for some centuries. The site was changed is the year 1639, owing to the shallowness of the creek forming the port ; but the "ancient town," Gemmel sty], as it is called, still exists as a very humble village. The present town has experienced many calamities ; famine in the years 1695.6 7, a fire in 1764, followed by another in 1809, which made fearful havoc. But, rising from its ashes, it rapidly gained importance, and acquired metropolitan rank upon the senate of Finland, which for merly sat at Abo, being transferred to it in 1819. An obe lisk on the esplanade near the south harbour commemo rates this event, and a visit of the Emperor Alexander on the occasion. Helsingfors stands on a peninsula, with rocky islands in front, some tenanted by fishermen, others massively fortified, and with a country fur its back ground either of naked granite, or presenting no other verdure but that of the dark pine. It has all the insti tutions and public buildings which usually characterise and embellish the capital of a considerable province, a university, senate house, and cathedral, which are fine modern structures, barracks, hospitals, and assembly rooms, an observatory, and botanic gardens, the latter a little rich plot of ground formed of soil laid upon the previously hare rock. The university -is called the Alexander University, though founded by the present Czar in 1828, by removal from Abo. It has 24 pro fessors, with the Hereditary Grand Duke for the chan cellor. The town contains a population of 15,000, in dependent of the garrison. Manufactures of linen and sailcloth, with an important traffic in timber, fish, and corn, are the important industrial employments. From the quays of the capital, within long range of cannon shot, the granite ramparts of Sweaborg may be seen, with the roofs of the buildings it contains, consist ing of barracks, magazines, prisons, and a limited num ber of private houses, for, besides the garrison, there are some Russian merchants in the establishments. This celebrated spot is the guardian fortress of Heisingsfors, commonly styled the Gibraltar of the north. It com pletely commands the seaward passage to the city, or the narrow Gustaf Sound, the only channel which has water deep enough for large vessels. The fortifications extend over six islands, or rather rocks, Langorn, Lilla-S warto, Wester-Swarth, Oster-Swarth, Vargon, and Gustafsvard. The last five are connected by bridges. Vargon is con sidered the citadel, and is somewhat central. All these islands bristle with cannon, and are grim with ramparts. The works are of granite, and are as massive as the foundations upon which they are built, being for the most part constructions out of the solid rock. They are said to mount 800 cannon, to have casemates for from. 6,000 to 7,000 small arms, and barrack room for a gar rison of 12,000 men. In connection with these grim features are little gardens formed of transported soil. Count Ehrenswerd, field marshal of Sweden, superin tended the construction of the first fortress, the citadel of Vargiin, begun in 1747 and finished in 1758, during the reign of Adolphus Frederic. He lies buried in the area before the house of the commandant, under a monu ment bearing the inscription :—" On this spot, and sur rounded by his own work, repose the remains of the Count Auguste Ehrenswerd." The same officer origi nated the gun-boat flotilla of Sweden, which was first organised in 1760 under the name of alums-gotta, the fleet of the army. The surrender of Sweaborg to the Russians in the year 1808 is one of the most extraordinary events in military history. Sweden entrusted its defence to Admiral Count Cronstedt, a man whose courage had been tested on many occasions, and whose character was above suspi cion as to moral probity till the capitulation amply jus tified it. The siege commenced March 6, when the sea was clothed with ice, and the land was deeply covered with snow. In little more than two months afterwards, though no impression had been made upon the plane, it was given up, the garrison amounting at the time to 203 officers, and 7,386 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, while the Russians had scarcely troops enough to occupy the fortress, and superintend the evacuation, On May 8, the Russian flag was hoisted, and Tc Dcum was chanted in the square of Vargon. near the tomb of Ehrenswerd. The Russians came into possession of the following prizes :-58 pieces of brass ordnance, 1,975 iron guns, 9,535 cannon cartridges, 3,000 barrels of powder, 10,000 cartouches, 340 projec tiles, nearly 9,000 stand of arms, 2 frigates, 6 xebecs, 1 brig, 6 yachts of war, 25 gunboats, 51 yawl s , 51 barques and sloops, 19 transports, and an immense depot of naval stores. The commander of Sveaborg has been stigma. tised by the poet Runeberg. " Conceal his lineage, hide his race— The crime be his alone ! That none may blush for his disgrace— Let it be all his own He who his country brings to shame, Nor raco, nor sire, nor son, may claim. " Call him a serpent false and vile, That wretch devoid of faith ! Call him disgrace, and scorn, and guile, Sin, infamy, and dea.h ! Oh ! call him by no other name, To spare thy hearers grief and shame." The surrender has boen called a psychological problem but perhaps the following "separate article" appended to the convention between the hostile commanders will resolve it to most readers :—" In case the fortress should surrender according to the convention signed this day, Admiral Cronstedt proposes that the deficiency of his military chest, not exceeding a sum of 100,000 rix dol lars, Swedish currency, and verified according to all the usual forms, shall be made good by the Emperor of Russia," The commandant never returned to Sweden, but died in the course of a few years, it is said, of grief, at Helsingfors. ARRIVALS OF Srßorz.—The specie arrivals last week have amounted to 1,000,0001., almost wholly in gold. In this sum were comprised 70,0001. from Brazil, 320,0001. front Now York, and 570,0001. from Aus tralia. The exports have consisted of a few parcels to the Continent, and 200,0001. shipped on board the screw steamer Prince, for the payment of the troops in the Crimea. THE PRICE WE PAT FOR A BREVET.—It appears from a parliamentary paper printed on Saturday, that the ex pense of the. Brevet in June last will be 17,7121.135. 4d. a-year. The charges of the promotions amounted to 29,1281. Os. 10d., from which the half-pay to be de ducted amounts to 11,415/. 70. Gd., leaving the expense 17,7121. 13s. 4d.

THE FIRE AT NaWCASTLE.—The adjourned inquest on the bodies of those persons who have died in the New castle Infirmary was opened on Friday, before Mr. Stokes, the borough coroner. Two or three witnesses having been examined, the coroner said it would be ad visable to make an adjournment for as low; a period as possible, so that the gentleman deputed by Lord Pal merston to examine the stones and other materials in the neighbourhood of the explosion, with a view to de. tect whether or not they indicated the presence of gun powder, might have ample time to pursue his investiga tion, and in order that the powder which they themselves bad se en.might undergo a chemical analysis. The in questwas then adjourned till Monday the 23d instant. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETT.—The twenty second public drawing for rights of choice took place at the offices, 33, Norfolk-street, Strand, on Saturday, the 14th inst. ; the Rev.

PILLAR LETTER BO z& 9 Canning XE of S IN THE METROPOLIS.—Lord and the au thorities the General Post-office have had a scheme for some time in contemplation to the posting of letters in London, by establish ing " pillar letter b oxes " i n th e mos t p o p u lous districts of . the metropolis, and reducing tho number of receiv ing -houses, which are attended with great expense. The subjoined circular from the Secretary of the General Post-office has been transmitted to the several district boards of commissioners of pavements, in which the experiment is about to be made : " General Post-office, Oct. 11, 1851. " Sir, —I am directed. by the Postmaster-General to state, with a view of giving additional facilities to the public for posting their letters, his lordship has it in contemplation to place pillar letter-boxes along the leading thoroughfares of the metropolis, at intervals of half a mile or thereabouts, and that he has selected the important line of 13 firs t where ln Fleet-street, the Strand, and Piccadilly, th as __ to erect those letter-boxes.
