MONEY ,MARKET AND CO! MB'BCIAL INT ELLIGENC E. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at' Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, in cluding 1,500 American taken for export and on speculation. The market was more firm without change in prices. The sales comprised GOO Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 7/d., 100 Bahia at 61d. to 61d., 500 Egyptian at 51d. to 9d., 1,000 Surat at 3d. to 4/d., 80 Sea Island at 11id. to Is. 4d., and the remainder American. Railway Shares were steady. The corn trade has ruled steady, and last Mon day's prices were well supported. The report of the piece goods market for the month which has just closed is thus given by Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving :—" Since the date of our last the tone and action of this market have been of a remarkably checquered character. At its commencement, and towards the middle of it, un doubted prevailing confidence had existence, and, as a consequence, considerable transactions were entered into. No doubt or hesitation entered into these, neither was any material misgiv ing supposed to be associated with the sound ness of transactions which had, for a season, the characteristics of sound and discretionary operations. I declining and inactive state of the cotton market had, however, induced greater cau tion, and circumspection had originated a belief that lower prices for the manufactured article would be soon rendered available. The market, in the meantime, continued to be comparatively firm un til the announcement of the suspension of an old and established firm with liabilities of unusual mag nitude became public. Its solvency necessarily en dangered the stability of other houses with which it was connected. The result has been to originate a degree of distrust and apprehension in this loca lity to an extent unknown since the memorable year of 1847. Since the announcement the mar ket has been exceedingly dull and lifeless ; indeed, transactions have been comparatively suspended. Stocks so far continue to be much as they were a month ago. It is only - that in some instances any in crease of supply can be met with. The consignments made by manufacturers and spinners, which continue 50 tobeupon a large scale, contribute necessarily to the 1 5 present comparative scarcity. Were an active demand 25 for such goods to ensue, a rise would at once St. take place. Blessed with a good and abundant 8 2 1 harvest, we may reasonably hope for an increased St. demand for the country trade. So far, however, 2 ( 5 ) the operations of those engaged in it have not been [OO marked by animation or activity." 6.4 2F Tke American] advises to the 20th ult. still 50 represent the Stock market us being tight, and a 20 good deal of specie continued to be exported to Europe. Public securities had fluctuated con siderably. The following is a gloomy picture, by a Now York writer, supposing it be not exag gerated:— " Our internal financial affairs are by no means in a favourable condition, and the future is not free from serious apprehension. Our shipments of specie have reached an alarming extent, and are likely to increase. Our home supply of breadstuffs is likely to be sufficiently limited, to enhance prices for domestic consumption, and cut off our own exportations almost entirely. While our exports, in the aggregate, will, without date, be largely reduced, our importations are likely to be un usually large. Cheap prices for food in England will stimulate productions of all kinds of fabrics, and as the manufacturers on the other side generally look to tbis coun try for markets for all their surplus products, we shall proba bly find the present system of forcing sales through our auc tion houses a fixed fact for more than one reason. The country at large is deeply in debt. Individuals, corpo rations, and states are all involved, more or less. beyond their available means of payment, and must undergo the process of contraction and liquidation. This must tend materially to the reduction of actual consumption, if not to the supply. Hardly a section of the country has been free from disaster. Freshets, panics, fires, droughts, disease, hurricanes, blight, mildew, and rot, or something else destructive to life and property, have swept over the land, spreading desolation and despair in its course ; and the effect upon the prosperity of all classes cannot be otherwise than of an unfavourable character." The arrivals of emigrants at New York had been 217,662 persons this year to the Gth Sept., being an increase of 22,565 over the corresponding period of 1853. The accounts from Melbourne by the Overland Mail, are to the 23d July. Owing to the badness of the roads as usual during the winter season, trade was exceedingly dull, and large as were the imports of 1853, those of the first quarter of the present year were still greater, being at the rate of twenty millions sterling per annum. The stocks, consequently, were very large, and prices were depressed for nearly all articles, when the spring came on an improvement would occur, but low prices are almost certain to continue. The country at large, and the miners in particular, will derive the advantage of this, and the new " diggins" discovered could be profitably worked at a much smaller cost. The government expendi ture likewise will be reduced. Mercantile failures of minor houses were spoken of. At Sydney business was dull also, but in a sounder state than at Melbourne. The English Stock Market has been subjected 100 to considerable fluctuation, but there has been 20 more agitation than business. Before the opening h i of the Stock Exchange great enthusiasm prevailed, 25 the National Anthem being sung by a large num -100 ber of the members present. Consols were done at 95a A for Transfer, and 95a to 96 for Account, 10 2 0 but they are now 95g for the former , and 951 to 2 951 for the latter. The New 21 per Cent. 20 Annuities have been at 82 to 82k. Exchequer Bills have been at Bs. and India Bonds at 10s. p.m. 100 Foreign securities have been inactive.

The chief transactions have been in Cale douian, Great Northern, North-Western, Midland, 2 ' and South-Eastern. French shares have been firmer. The Luxembourg are better. The Mining shares have been very quiet, the 2 Banks are nominal, and the Crystal Palace rather higher. 1 9 50 50 20 20 20 20 10 10 BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES, (From the Of . icial List. ) Business done. 3 per Cent.

St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, and most of the large parochial churches were crowded with worshippers, and at nearly all collections were made on behalf of the poor women and children whose husbands and fathers have fallen by alp pestilence or perished by the sword. There was full choral service at Westminster Abbey, and in the parish and district c&rehes throughout the metropolis collections were rilikdo for the soldiers' Trim and ohildron. SHARE MARKETS.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat. Selected samples were in good request, at very full prices. Low and middling parcels sold slowly,. at late rates. Barley moved off steadily, at extreme currencies. In the value of other grain, in cluding flour, very little change took place. The continental markets have ruled steatly for all articles, and good heavy wheats have produced rather more money. Our latest advises from Now York state that flour was dull ' and drooping. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received ' up to our market last. week. The imports of foreign I amounted to 8,340 quarters of wheat, 2,562 barley, 15,564 oats, 2,886 beans, 457 peas, 6,560 linseed, 83 rapeseed, 46 mustard seed, 146 sundry seeds, and 50 sacks of flour. There was an average arrival of English wheat put up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, and the general quality of the supply was good. The atten dance of town and country buyers was by no means nume rous ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds ruled steady, and nearly, or quite, the whole of the arrivals were dis posed of ut last Monday's prices. Thu show of foreign wheat was good. Prime qualities commanded a firm market, and, in some instances, rather more money was paid for them. Low and middling kinds were in fair request, and quite as dear as last week. The arrivals of floating cargoes off Falmouth since our last report have been extremely small. There are none on sale to-day. We were but moderately supplied with barley, for which there was a good demand, at an advance in the quotations of Is per quarter. There was an improved sale for malt. Prices generally wore well supported. Oats, the show of which was moderate, moved off steadily. In prices no change took place. There was a steady inquiry for beans, but we have no change to notice in their value. Most kinds of peas sold to a fair extent, on former terms. The flour trade was tolerably firm, without leading to any change in price. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was exten sive, but the general quality was inferior, especial-'y as regards the beasts. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up to-day were moderately extensive as to number. There was, however, a great deficiency in their weight and quality ; indeed, this was one of the worst markets for beef we almost ever recollect at this period of the year. Prime beasts were, therefore, in good request, at very full prices, and the few prime Scots on offer sold briskly, at prices rather over 5s per Slbs. Other breeds were firm, and quite as dear as last week. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 1,900 short horns. From other parts of England we received 600 of various breeds, and from Scotland 17 Scots. The Government contract, requiring from 250 to 300 beasts per week, will be tendered for to-morrow. It is supposed that nearly the Whole of the beasts will be pur chased in this market. We were fairly supplied with most breeds of sheep. On the whole, the mutton trade was in a very sluggish state, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per 8 lbs. The general top figure for mutton was 4s 10d, but a few prime downs realised 5s per 8 lbs. Calves, the supply of which was limited, moved off slowly, yet prices were well supported. The highest quo tation was 4s 4d per 8 lbs. There was more doing in pigs, and prices had an upward tendency. Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were again moderate—the total supply amounting to 7,746 head. In the corresponding week 1853 we received 8,859; in 1852, 10,518 ; in 1851, 7,128 ; in 1850, 6,166 ;in 1849, 6,590 ; in 1848, 3,901; and in 1847, 4,582 head. IMPORTSINTOLONDO WATIVEEK. From Beasts.

Popular excitement has somewhat abated, as the witnesses in their examination fail to show that any criminality attaches to Messrs. Knight and Seymour with regard to the death of the 'unfortunate young woman Matilda Jane Lodge. The court was not half so crowded to-day, nor was that anxiety so visible as on the preceding day. At eleven precisely the mayor, C. Stigant, Esq., and the following magistrates occupied the bench :—B. Bramble, T. E. Owen, Major Travers, G. Gilman, G. J. Seale, and Captain Sayer. Captain Ryder, of the Dauntless, also sat behind the bench, and remained to the end of the day's proceedings. The court having opened, Rebecca Lodge, mother of the deceased, was exa mined, and the next witness was Henry Carter, Esq., surgeon, of Portsea, who deposed to having attended deceased, and described at considerable length the appearances, external and internal, of the body. It is unnecessary to the general reader to more minutely report this evidence, than to say that it was to the effect that death bad resulted from peritonitis, occa sioned by rupture of the bladder, causing its contents to flow into the abdomen. He observed no mark of vio lence in the region of the bladder. He was of opinion that pressure without violence might cause a distended bladder to be ruptured. The impression of witness was that there was ulceration of the bladder, and he had stated so at the inquest. Mr. Ford—Nature exerts herself to supply the injury produced by a ruptured bladder ? Witness—Yes, by throwing out an adhesive lymph. This had commenced in a small degree. An enlargement of the rupture of the bladder was made after it was taken from the body, but it was plain to see the extent of this by the difference of appearance between the original and the new rupture. Re-examined—There was more fluid in the abdomen than the bladder would contain ; this would arise from all the fluid taken after the rupture of the bladder on Sunday night till death finding its way into the abdo men. Thomas Singleton Gray, Esq., surgeon, of Gosport, deposed to the appearance of deceased's body on a post mortem examination, and further proceeded—l did say to deceased's sister, knowing that she was a woman of experience, that "the appearances were not natural." I saw deceased on the Wednesday morning, and she asked me if she was going to die. I told her that if she had anything to say or do, she must do it at once. I used the catheter, but produced no urine. I believe I prescribed toast and water for her to drink. I thought, from not finding distention of the bladder, that it must be ruptured. When I placed my hand on her belly on Monday, and she could not bear it, I regarded it as a symptom that peritonitis had set in. I examined de ceased's body. There was a discolouratten of the head. The bandages were removed. There was a mark on the outside of the right arm. There might have been marks on the left arm without my seeing. I did not see any marks under the arm. I did not raise the arms, but somebody else did, and I saw no marks. On the right and left sides of the body there were disco lourations. I could distinguish no difference as to the amount of discolourations between the two sides. I could discover no appearance which could have been the result of violence during life. I saw a blow above the os ilium, rather before it, and approaching the region. It presented the appearance of occhymosis very slightly. It appeared to me to be the result of violence inflicted during life. There were no unusual appearances on the legs ; there was one on the knee ; that was a bruise apparently, the result of a contact with a foreign body during life. Deceased's body was opened by Mr. Knight, Mr. Lowe's pupil. I found the contents of the chest quite healthy. I next examined the abdomen ; the stomach and intestines were distended with air. In the stomach was a fluid. The intestines were healthy. I then examined the lower part of the abdomen, and found nearly two quarts of fluid serum. I found the bladder in a collapsed state, and a slight inflammation in the peritoneum. The serum we found in the abdo men was urine. I agree in the opinion that death was caused by the rupture of the bladder. I have no doubt but that violence during life would produce that rup ture. Mr. Ford—Might not pressure on the abdomen have caused rupture of a distended bladder ? Witness —It might. Concussion, however, would have been more likely. Mr. Ford—Did you take any steps when deceased died to give information to the police ? Witness—No. I think • that a fall from a bed two feet and a half high might have caused - rupture to a dis tended bladder. Striking against the side of a ship might have caused bruises to the head, which again might have thrown her on her knee. Mr. Ford—Would the same blow or fall that pro duced rupture of the bladderhave produced all the blows that were found on the deceased's body ? Witness—l believe all the appearances were produced by falls. Mr. Ford--But might not the same appearances have been the result of blows ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Ford—What data have you for arriving at the opinion that the bruises were the result of falls ? Witness--I arrived at the opinion after hearing the evidence at the coroner's inquest. Mr. Ford—Exactly so ; from what you heard from officers of the Dauntless. Now what was your opinion before the coroner's inquest took place ? Witness—l thought death was the result of ill-usage. Mr. Ford—Was not a question asked you by Super intendent Harvey as to whether a fall from a bed 2. 1 _, feet Li;li would be likely to cause death ? Mr. Gray—l endeavoured to evade the officer, for I saw he wanted to get everything out of zne he could and carry it else; ‘ here. Mr. Ford—Then you thought it consistent with your duty as a medical officer to try to evade the efforts of the police to carry out the ends of justice ? Mr. Gray—l endeavoured to be guarded in my re marks. Mr. Ford—Did not Superintendent Harvey tell you he was sent by the coroner ? Mr. Gray—He did. Mr. Ford—Did he not say that it was reported that deceased had. fallen from a bed two feet high ? Mr. . Mr. Ford--It is very important. Gray—l cannot answ er the q uestion ; it is too tri vial anMswre.r it. Gray—lt is so import ant relativel y that I cannot Mr. Ford—But did Harvey say se ? You are on your oath, sir. Mr. Gray—He might have done. Mr. Ford—Did Harvey ask you this question :—" It is said that she fell from a bed in Knight's cabin, which had inflicted violence, and would this violence cause death ?" Mr. Gray—l believe be did say so, and I replied " Yes." Mr. Ford—But did you not tell him death from such a cause was " imposfible ?" Mr. Gray—l did not. Mr. Ford—Now sir, on your oath, did you not say it was "impossible ?" Mr. Gray—l do not think I did, for Harvey came to me in such a way that I was careful. The Mayor—l cannot see how you as a medical man could object to such a question. Mr. Ford—Did not Harvey, with Serjeant Monck with him, corns to you in a most respectful way, and say they were sent by the coroner to make inquiries ? Mr. Gray—l think they did. Still I did not under stand their manner, and was very careful with them. Mr. Ford—You saw them twice ; were you so careful on the first occasion ! Mr. Gray—No, I was not. Mr. Ford--Did they not ask you in the most respect ful way what you could say in reference to this poor girl's death ? Mr. Gray—l cannot recollect the conversation. Mr. Ford—l did not ask you for the conversation. Now, did you not know at that time that the coroner was prosecuting inquiries into the death of the girl ? Mr. Gray—l did . not. Mr. Ford—Well, did you see Harvey and Monck before or after the post-mortem examination you made of the body 1 Mr. Gray—l believe I saw them after the examina tion. Mr. Ford—Did you not receive the order to make this examination from the coroner ? Mr. Gray—l did. Now I recollect myself. I saw the officers before the post-mortem examination. Mr. Ford—Well, do recollect yourself, and we will try to arrive at the fact. Had you not the uterus and bladder in your possession when Harvey and Monck called on you ? Mr. Gray—Very likely. Indeed, I know I had. Mr. Ford—And did you not tell them that you had discovered internal injuries sufficient to cause death ? Mr. Grey—l recollect I did. Mr. Ford—Then you must not have seen the police officers after the post-mortem. examination if you had dis covered this fact ? Mr. Gray—l suppose it must have been so (marks of disapprobation from the g allery). Mr. Ford—Well, we have got at that fact. Now, did you not tell Harvey to call in an hour and you would tell him your opinion ? Mr. Gray—l did, and I think be called ; but from my many engagements I do not recollect. Mr. Ford—Did you not tell him when he called that you could not give him your opinion ? Mr. Gray—l did so, for I felt that he did not come as an honest man. . Mr. Ford—This is a gratuitous insult to the officer. The Mayor—This is very improper. Mr. Harvey has done his duty in an excellent manner, and it is not a disgrace to do that duty. Mr. Gray—As a general rule I do not like the police. I have been treated ill by them. Mr. Ford—Well, did Mr. Harvey say he had heard deceased fell from a bed feet hie; ? Mr. Gray—He might have said so. The Mayor remarked on the hesitation with which the witness gave his evidence. Mr. Gray—As the medical man of the poor girl who is dead, you are pressing me very hard. Mr. Ford—l am merely doing my duty. Now, I ask you if Mr. Harvey did not ask in the presence of Monck whether a fall from a bed might result in death, and did you not reply " Certainly not ?" Mr. Gray—l could not have said so ; I could not have been in my senses to have said so. Mr. Ford—Well, as this is your opinion las to the cause of death after the inquest, wha t was it iiefore ? Mr. Gray—l sympathised with the fe*le, for I thought she had been ill•treated from her appearance, Mr. Ford—You say that your present opinion was formed from what you heard at the inquest ? Mr. Gray—And the post mortent examination. Mr. Ford—Then how long were you at the inquest ? Mr. Gray—l was in and out several times, and was told by a friend at the door what was going on. Mr. Ford—Then your opinion was formed from what was told you ? Mr. Gray—Yes, with what I know besides. The Mayor—You do not mean to say that the same fall from the bed that might have caused rupture of tile bladder caused also the bruises on her person ? Mr. Gray--I only suppose that in falling she mig3it have struck her head against the side of the cabin, which might have also caused her to fall on her knee., Frederick John Lowes, Esq., surgeon, of Anglesq, also gave some lengthened medical testimony as to the in ternal and external appearances of the deceased's body. This gentleman agreed with the other witnesses as to death being caused by peritonitis. Mr. John Thomas KniJit, pupil to the last witness, also described the appearance ot deceased's body. This witness produced the uterus and bladder from deceased's body. William li. Garrington, Esq., euraeon, of Portsea—l have seen the uterus and bladder. Tile bladder din not present any trace of prior disease or ulceration. If there had been any previous ulceration of the bladder I should have been enabled to detect it. This witness agreed with the other medical gentlemen that pressure, as well as a now or fall, might cause rup ture to a distended bladder. The court then, it bciii .l 2, , half past six, adjournei the ca , e to nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, when some witnesses from the Dauntless are to be examined. THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, 121, screw steam-ship, Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, is ordered to take her coals on board on Wednesday next at Sheerness, and prepare for pro ceeding round to Spithead. The Clyde steam-packet is taken up by the Govern. ment, to convey the remainder of the 46th Regiment from Woolwich to the seat of war in the East. The Gomelza, hired transport, left Deptford on Fri day last for Portsmouth, to convey detachments of the 34th Regiment to Corfu. The Rbadamanthus, paddle-wheel steam store-ship, Master-Commander John Belam, came down from Deptford to Woolwich on Saturday, and remains for further orders. _ The Prince, screw steam-ship, of 2,700 tons, recently purchased by Government for service as a store-ship, is being laden with a great quantity of shot and shells for conveyance to the seat of war in the East. She has also been placed under orders to embark, as soon as she is ready to proceed to sea, the seven companies of the 46th Regiment now at Windsor under orders to pro ceed for foreign service in the Crimea. DEPARTURE OF THE ALGIERS. DEVONPORT, Oct. I.—The Algiers, 91, Captain Tal bot, would, it was thought, have to put to sea short of her complement, by reason of many of her crew being absent when she left harbour for the Sound ; but nearly every one of the men returned to her before leaving the Sound. The Algiers relieves the Albion, 90, in the Black Sea. The Indefatigable, 50, Captain Hope, was paid wages yesterday, and will sail in a day or two for Rio, where she will bear the flag of Rear-Admiral Hope Johnstone, commander-in-chief of the South American station. The Havannah is being fitted for sea for the Aus tralian station. It is said she is in a very bad state, and will require extensive repairs. The Hornet, 16 (screw), Commander Forsyth, was taken out of dock yesterday, and is now ready for sea. APPOINTMENTS. Masters'-Assistants —Charles Sullivan to the Cossack, 21, screw steam-corvette at Chatham ; Richard E. Tracey to the Harrier screw steam-sloop, at Portsmouth. Naval Cadet—Seymour J. Smith to the Curacoa, 30, screw steam-frigate, at Portsmouth. THE GUN-BOATS.-ARMAMENT FOR THE PE LTER. Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, Storekeeper of the Ord nance, and Mr. Watts, Assistant-Surveyor of the Navy, visited Woolwich Dockyard on Saturday to inspect the Pelter light-draught of water gun-boat and the arma ment with which she is now fitted. The Lancaster oval guns which have been cast for the light-draught gun boats are each one and a half tons lighter than those fitted in the screw steam despatch gun-boats, the guns mounted on traversing platforms on board the Pelter being nominally 65 cwt., or actually the gun aft the funnel 63 cwt. 3 qrs. and 11b, and the gun before the funnel 64 cwt. 1. qr. and 121 b., while those on board the Arrow class of screw steam despatch gun-boats are 95 cwt. each. The guns of the reiter, although of only 65 cwt., have the same 8 inch oval bore as those of 95 cwt., and are each 9 feet in length. Notwithstanding the dif ference of weight of metal in the guns, the 65 cwt. S-inch guns appear of a very serviceable construction, and ad mirably adapted fur being workod effectively on board the light-draught gun-boats. The Pelter has been taken into dock, and is advancing fast towards completion. TRIAL OF THE VIPER. The Viper screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant- Commander M`Killop, when she left Woolwich in the early part of last week for service with the fleet in the Black Sea, remained for some time at Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted, and to take in a large sup- ply of live shells and powder from Purfleet. She sub sequently made a trial to ascertain her speed below the Mouse Light. The engines worked well without any hot bearings, and her average speed was found to be about 12 knots an hour. distance. The scholars' bedsteads, although rather short, were not otherwise objectionable to the men, who accommo dated themselves on them, being accustomed to shorten their stature whilst sleeping in their hammocks. A piano, found in one of the rooms, was soon taken pos session of by those who could play on it ; and, with the assistance of a violin bought by subscription from a player in the orchestra at the Opera, and a flute that one of the men had brought away with him, a smart little band was organised, to which they danced merrily of an evening, whilst enjoying their pipes ; and thus whiling away the time, like true Jack Tars, made the best of their inac tion. As a remarkable proof of the power of excitement on the physical strength of the sailor, it may be stated, that often, after a hard day's work, the sound of the fiddle will bring out some young votary at the shrine of Terp sichore, who will go through such rapid evolutions with his feet as to astound the looker-on, persisting therein for 20 minutes or half an hour, as if his very life depended on them, and concluding without evincing any over fatigue after such violent exertion ; and others will then get up and emulate, if not surpass, the first dancer. It was fortunate that the men could have recourse to such innocent and healthy diversion, as it checked any ten dency to brooding over their fate, and useless longing after their homes, We were critically situated, as we could not be in formed of the probable duration of our detention ; and were thus left in a blank state of mind, easily conceived by any one who has felt the emptiness of uncertain expecta tions. As no Russian prisoners of war bad at that time been made by the English, we had no reason to hops for release by exchange of prisoners. The good effects of habits of order and discipline were strikingly shown, and in a manner very creditable to the men. As they were deprived of the surveillance of their o ffi cers, who were in anothe r building, at some distance, and could not see them without a written permission, they appointed, of their own accord, one of the petty officers, who could speak French, as au , a od perintendent ; and he, in conj unction with the others, established regulations for the cl of the rooms, arranged the messeanliness es, abolished nd r amo er k ing in the bed-rooms, an d prescribed th e ex tinction of lights at ten o 'clock at night. Th ese ar rcaonmgfeouirta,natngd—swecbutd the goodwill tendedi of atly totheir personal those to whose cars they had been consigned—were submitted to the first lieutenant for his approval, and any infringement of the n as fromt they rules was reported to him. Culprits might have been u s io treated according to the Russian scale of punishment ; y th t e h s o o u c g ie h t t y o sufficient,f their iu e 8 s i l t a w te as s but the authorities kindly permitted the officers to im posefor a few days was sufficient to bring any of them to a proper sense of their misconduct.

The Phceniz, screw steam-sloop, in which they were brought home, is hourly expected at Woolwich. The fallowing young gentlemen, who passed into the navy from Mr. Eastman's preparatory naval establish ment at Southsea at the last monthly examination at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, have been appointed naval cadets to the undermentioned ships :—Mr. W.

Elphinstone, to the Monarch, 84, in the Baltic ; and Mr. C. Giffard, to the Sphinx, on her way to the Black Sea. The postmaster of Portsmouth, Mr. John Sheppard, published outside the office shutters yesterday a copy of the official despatch from the Minister of War, an nouncing the successes of the allied forces on the ap proach to Sebastopol, which created no small gratifica tion throughout the port. Major General Sir Frederick Smith, R.E , has pro ceeded to Boulogne, to inquire into and report upon the French system of hutting their troops, preparatory, it is believed, to its introduction into the British military service. A new corps or mounted staff for similar service to the ambulance corps is now in progress of formation in London, for the purpose of proceeding to and serving at the seat of war in the East, and will embark at Wool wich for their destination when the necessary arrange ments are completed. A number of military prisoners have been pardoned during the past month who were confined at Fort Cla rence, Chatham, the Governor, Captain Manners, having recommended thorn to the Secretary at War for their good conduct while in prison.

TURKEY. We read in a letter from Constantinople of the 20th : " Viscountess Stratford de Redcliffe and family have arrived here, and are at pre sent residing at the British Embassy, at The rapia. Yesterday 300,0001 of the loan contracted in London arrived here. A commission composed of seven merchants under the direc tion of Mousa Safeti Pacha, the Minister of Fi nance, has been appointed to conduct the mo netary system in Turkey. In a recent sitting they fixed the value of the pound sterling at 131 piasters, and have made arrangements to maintain it at that figure. A commission is sit ting at Constantinople, under the presidence of Cabouli Effendi, fur the settlement of the indem nity demanded by the Porte from the Hellenie Government.

The scholars had been transferred to the country, in the environs of the city.

One great com fort was a pump of good water, which gave the men an advantage over their officers, the latter being supplied with this element in casks brought to them daily.
