INI ONEY. I 4 A it K 14] 41N D GO 'I MERCIAL INTELLIGPNCE. CITY, TV O o'C LOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales. The market closed t amely, but steadily, with prices of all kinds un changed. The sales comprised 200 Egyptian at Od. to 70., 40 Sea Island at is. Od. to Is. ld., and the remainder nearly all American. Railway Shares were firm and steady. The steamer Arctic has arrived off Liverpool, With 1,130,705 dollars in specie, and dates three• days later, viz., to Sept. 2d, inclusive. The stock market was again very depressed, after a rally Which occurred on the 29th ult. The Erie Rail road Company appears to be in great embarrass ment. Oue writer states " Mr. Vanderbilt has loaned the Erie company his endorsement on $400,000 of its paper of short date, for which he has received a mortgage on the entire rolling property of the road. Everythi ig in the shape of a loco motive, freight and passenger car, has been pledged for the above-named sum, instead of $600,000 as at first Proposed. Of th e $4OO, 000 raised by mortgaging the move able property of the company, $300,000 will be paid out to-morrow for interest then duo on the bonds. This leaves but a small amount for other purposes. It would be well enough for the company to appropriate the balance to the Payment of wages due labourers along the line of the road. We are informed that along the Delaware di vision labourers have been paid only up to the Ist of July. Wages due for June were not paid until a week or two ago. July and August are now due. This is a pretty position for the Erie Railroad Company to be in. The president, no doubt, receives his salary of $lO,OOO per annum as soon as due, and all the other officers with enormous salaries, the same, while the poor labourer, whose credit at the nearest store depends entirely upon his prospective pay, is put off month after month, until he can get no more pork and bread upon his promises to pay when the company pays him. These may be' con sidered trifling matters, but a shrewd stockholder will be able to draw correct inferences from even such trifles, and govern himself a .cordingly," There were appearances of rain in New York State at the latest date. From Mexico it is stated that Villareal, the second in command to General Alvarez, had died of his wounds. Venezuela is stated to be still in a very disturbed condition. . Honduras had been visited by swarms of locusts. The accounts from Brazil by the Great Western steamer represent business as being dull at R io. The market report from Buenos Ayres is likewise unsatisfactory. The arrangements by which the remainder of the Exchequer Bonds are to be issued appear to be so far judicio us th a t th e y w iden the probable sphere of circ u l a ti on b y re d uc i ng th e se parate amounts of the Bonds. In the instruction given it is provided that the bonds and certificates attached thereto Shall be provided to the amount of 900,0001. 111 .. bonds of 1,0001. each, 530,0001. in bond s O 5001. each, 300,0001. in bonds of 2001 . et a ch) and 270,0001. in bonds of 1001. ea ch. This will give 2,700 bonds of the l owest deno m i na ti on , an d an y one acquainted with Stock Exchange matters will appreciate the conve nience of thi s pl an , an d un d er stand the probability O tne securiti es b e i ng t a k en up by parties who other wt , Ise would n o t i nves t i n them. The bonds of the ifger amounts will, at the same time, be useful to the bank ers an d o th ers . O n the face of each bond the i ntimation will appear that the capital is to be p aid off at pa r on th e B t h M a y, 1858, the interest being at the rat e o f 3l per cent. per annum. Th e into rest may be received by any one holding the an boxed certifi ca t es , of which a form is given, stat in g that the borrower is entitled to a half-year's divi dend. Thus, a bond of 1,0001. will bear a Coupon of 171. 10s. for the half - year ; one of 5001. , yield 81. 15s. ; one of 2001., 31. 10s. ; one Of 1001. 11. 15s. This is quite a new feature In Connection with English securities, and we have not the slightest doubt that at no very distant date they will, as we have always contended, be made freely available for the purpos e of remittances. hitherto Dutch and other foreign Coupons have Passed from hand to hand in the same way, and been found very acceptable, although they Could never be as serviceable as a bond payable at Par within a given date, being subjee,t to greater fluctuation in the different markets. The A and the B series will now be in circulation, authority having been given to the cashier of the Bank of England to receive the same from the Comptroller- General of her Majesty's Exchequer. Having ap proved of the experiment of issuing Exchequer Bonds from the moment it was first announced, yv and having, in fact, joined with the practical men in the suggestion that some such course should be taken, we feel an especial pleasure in the success 10 6 Which has'attended the attempt, notwithstanding the bitter opposition manifested by disappointed 20 speculators, who were particularly solicitous that 20 there should be a further addition to the funded 171 debt of the country. 20 This has been settling day in the Stock Market, 20 and it would appear that the Account is decidedly 20 0 Bullish. The "continuation" has been as much ° 20 as to a per cent. on Consols, which, after being 20 9 5 for transfer, fell to 95± g, though now again 100 5 • The prices for October have been 95 -a, and 100 • since 95a i. Exchequer-bills have realised Cs. to 20 B s., and India Bonds 6s. prem. The Bonds of 1859 25 have been done at par. East India Stock has 25 been done at 225. The arrival of about 280,0001. 100 in specie this morning will afford acceptably means for the next instalment upon the Turkish Loan ; 10 ,) 9 and the change of wind will no do ubt brin g for- g ward several Australian ships that must be off the 5 coast. 20 The Foreign Stock Market continues very quiet. 100 Russian 5 per Cents. are 872 to 881- being lower, 100 and Spanish Bonds are flatter, the 3 per Cents. at 100 . 3 n, the New Deferred at 182 and the Passive at 4 100 and 41. Brazilian 5 per Cents. are quoted 102, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 912. The Turkish Scrip ope ned at si-, but has subsequently been as low as 5 1 4. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to W I ; Mexican, 242 to 25 ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto 41- per Cents., 88 to 90 ; Spanish New Deferred, 181 i to 18.• ; ditto 3 per Cents., 371 to 381 ; ditto, Certificates, 51 to 51 ; ditto, Passive, 4 to 41. This is "making up" day in the Railway Share Market, and the business done is chiefly in refer ence to the settlement of the Account to-morrow. The movement in prices is not uniform, but the tendency generally is towards a decline. The Foreign lints are very dull. In Mining, Banking, and the miscellaneous Shares dealings are unimportant.

As remarked by General Cass, this treaty 100 " terminates all existing differences between the United 100 States and Great Britain, and leads to the hope that the only contests between them will be a generous rvalry in 20 i all that cons titutes the true progress of rations. 50 ALARMING FIRE AT CLERKENWELL.—Yesterday after- 2 0 2 noon, between the hours of one and two, a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Elston and Sons, watch- to c dial manufacturers, carrying on business at 42, Myddol- 1( ton-street, Clerkenwell.

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's Steam-ship Candia, Captain Field, we have dates from Gibraltar, Sept. 5 ; Cadiz, 6th; Lisbon., 9th; Vigo, 10th. The Candia had no communication with Oporto, in consequence of a dense fog. She brings 73 passengers and a large cargo of almonds, grapes, figs, onions, and 25 packages specie. Queen Christina and the Duke of Riauzares, accompanied by General Garrigo, landed st the Arsenal at Lisbon, at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 9th. They proceeded immediately by the Royal carriages to the Spanish Embassy, where a guard of honour had been stationed. At Gibraltar exchange on London was quoted at 52 1 i ; Spanish pillared dollars, 14c. prem. The cholera was on the decrease at Cadiz, but the deaths had amounted to 20 per diem. PORTUGAL. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 12. The Great Western brings us Lisbon letters and papers of the Bth inst. The Queen Mother Chris tina of Spain had been (telegraphed as having ar rived at Vendas Novas, and at the time our corre spondent closed his letter the carriages were wait ing her landing at Lisbon. She was on her way across the Tagus from Aldea Galega, and was ex pected to stay a day or two at the Spanish Mini ster's, M. Alcala Galliano, previous to her depar ture for France, but whether by the Candi.a, via I Southampton, or. by an expected French steamer i did not appear certain. The King Regent had sent for the Ministers to hold a conference at Cintra, both in respect to Queen Christina's visit to Lisbon, and the Oporto affair of the supposed attempt at abduction to pro mote a wealthy marriage for the Duke of Szildan ha's only son. The Oporto accounts which had reached. Lisbon upon this subject were very con tradictory but they were very annoying 'to the Duke and his Administration. A Royal decree has been signed, granting to the islands of St. Thomas and Principe the same Cus tom-house regulations for foreign trade as had been given to St. Vincent and Mozambique. The Lisbon exchange for three months was at 54± to on London : but a greater abundance of bills was expected after the delivery of the Brazil mail per Great Western. COURT CIRCULAR.

It is reported, and seems to be believed, that Admiral Sir Charles Napier may be shortly expected in this country on his return from the Baltic. His arrival would, of course, imply that operations in that quarter are at end for the year, and that our fleet will soon find its way to England for the winter. We must needs ex press an anxious hope that the rumour in question may not bo true, for such a resolution on the part of our authorities would, we think, be unnecessary, ill-timed, and calculated both to damage the cause of the Allies and serve that of the Russians. The only reason which could compel the return of the fleet from the waters which it now commands would be the approach of the winter season. As the Baltic ports at such times are sealed up by ice, and the blockade of the Russian gulfs is effectually maintained by the natural operation of the climate, it would be clearly superfluous to add any artificial barriers to those already provided, even if it were possible for a squadron to keep the sea at such periods of the year. Exactly, in short, as there was a time before which it was unnecessary that the Baltic should be guarded by an allied squadron, • so there is a time beyond which it will be unnecessary that this guard should be continued, but that time leas certainly not yet arrived. The period at which, upon an average, the closure of the Neva may be expected, is, as we recently explained, two months distant, and, even if preparations for the return of the fleet were commenced somewhat earlier, it is clear that four or five weeks must still remain available for active operations. How, indeed, are we to reconcile the two facts that, while in the Black Sea the work of the war is just com mencing, in the Baltic it should just be terminated ? If enough remains of the autumn to permit the siege of Sebastopol to be attempted, must not enough remain to allow of some further enterprise in the north ? We consider that this cessation of operations would be ill-timed, because everything at present suggests a contrary course. We have have just learnt our strength and the enemy his weakness ; the Allies have been en couraged, and the Russians disheartened. After believ ing somewhat too implicitly in the imputed strength of granite fortifications, we have just seen this persuasion demolished by the test of experiment. The stone forts on which Russia relies have been shown to be no match for the floating batteries which represent the power of England and France. If the Edinburgh at .500 yards in seven broadsides can knock a breach in the towers of Bomarsund, why should not Admiral Chads have an opportunity of performing the same feat at Fort Alex -1 ander on the south side of the island of Cronstadt ? In a contest which was a trial of strength between offensive and defensive systems, that of the defence has proved the weaker, and nothing, therefore, could seem more impolitic than that the assailants should at this very con juncture relinquish the advantages obtained. The fall of Bomarsund appeared to open to the allied squadrons all the strongholds of the Russian gulfs, and it is clear from the despatch of General Baraguay d'Hilliers that the result wss actually regarded in this light. Where, then, can be the wisdom of foregoing a superiority thus established at the moment when it might be turned to good account ? Surely, if it has been found that we can destroy granite forts without risk of getting our ships awkwardly crippled, we might as well pursue the advan tage as long as the season will permit. What, too, we may ask, if operations are to be thus prematurely closed, was the object of proceeding lately with such urgency in the equipment and despatch of gun-boats for special service in the Baltic waters? Every body observed that the chief risk encountered in the re ' cent proceedings was that of grounding in the shallows, 1 while the chief advantage experienced by our forces was in the superior range of our artillery. By a judicious application of these lessons we have constructed vessels with offensive powers of a most: ormidable character, vessels drawing only very little water, and yet armed with guns of enormous calibre and prodigious range. One piece of ordnance capable of throwiinc, , a heavy shot nearly four miles has already reached the fleet, and, though this may seem of no great moment, it should be remembered that a single 10-inch gun, well placed and worked, had no inconsiderable share in the destruction of Bomarsund. But there is time enough, we presume, before the end of this month, to reinforce the fleet with some of the gun-boat flotilla, and there would then still remain another month available for putting their powers in requisition. Why stop short at the fall of Bomarsund, with such fair opportunities left for successful progress ? We are now exactly at that conjuncture of affairs when success would produce its greatest fruits, and when anything like evidence of weakness would be attended with peculiar disadvantage. Hitherto the war, though certainly productive of humiliation to Russia, has not been distinguished by any brilliant action on the part of the Allies. We have driven the Czar to seek shelter be hind his fortifications, but we have not attacked him in his position ; and, if our forces are too strong for him, his defences have been too strong for us; The conse quence has been a temporising and uncertain policy in quarters where a more decided success would probably have brought about a cordial alliance, and these unde sirable results are only too likely to be confirmed by proceedings which would appear to leave the field in the possession of our enemies. We have learnt exactly what to anticipate from the policy of the Russian Government. If our fleet retires from the Baltic be fore the season is actually closed and while time and opportunity still remain for action, the Russians will instantly sally out into the seas thus conveni ently vacated, will reoccupy the Aland Isles, hoist their flag on the ruins of Bomarsund, parade their vessels along the coasts of Sweden and Denmark, and then issue a swaggering manifesto to the world, setting forth the ignominious retreat of allied the squadrons with nothing accomplished, the triumphant resistance of the Imperial forces against infinitely superior numbers, and the final ascendancy of the Czar in the waters of the Baltic. This will probably be the issue of the campaign, and, however false such representations may be, appearances will not be wanting to lend a plausibility to the story. A very small thing makes a victory in the Invalide Busse. We are quite aware that the first condition of opera tions in the Baltic was the preservation of the fleet from such injury as would destroy its efficiency ; nor have we been slow to inculcate on our countrymen the expediency of acquiescing in the solid advantages of a blockade in stead of tempting fortune by speculative enterprises, promising no commensurate returns. To these views we steadily adhere ; but it is impossible to deny that the capture of Bomarsund considerably enlarged the field of judicious action. It was thought that guns could not destroy granite, whereas it is now proved that granite cannot resist guns. It has certainly not yet been ascer tained how far the wooden walls of our three-deckers may be relied upon in a cannonade exposing them to the full fire of land fortifications, nor is it necessary to bring this . question to any violent issue. Our artillery is so superior to that of our enemies that we may carry on our attacks without staking too much on the trial, and, as long as these means of offence remain in our power, it appears to us exceedingly impolitic to abandon the field. That our fleets will have done good work by blockading the Russian squadrons, paralysing Russian trade, and bringing themselves safe home again, is cer tainly true, but this is all the more reason for depriving the enemy of the smallest pretext for disparaging the results of the campaign. Sweaborg or Cronstadt, and not Spithead, should now be the destination of Sir ( Charles Napier.—Tinter. TH OFFRANCE A STUMBLING TONE TO THE EASTERN DESPOTS. It appears, at first view, rather anomalous that the earliest intimation or indications of what the Western Powers really think or have made up their minds to do in the Eastern question should all along have proceeded from that ono of the two allies who seems the least amenable to popular opinion. In England the adminis tration hold their places durante bent placito of the repre sentatives of the people, and are exposed to their inter rogations. In France the Emperor holds all but des potic power. Yet the pithy despatches of M. Drouyn de l'Huys were published for the edification of our neigh bours on the other side of the Channel, long before our ministers would speak out ; and now the Government organs in the French press are beginning to speak (covertly, it is true, but still quite intelligibly) of Austria in the terms it deserves, while Englishmen have no means afforded them of discovering whether or not their ministers are still determined, on all occasions, to "wait for the Austrians." A little reflection, however, suffices to solve the seemingly puzzling problem. In France public opinion is in reality as omnipotent as it is in England ; although Frenchmen, tired of the aimless and endless brawls of political F rondeurs, are contented a% present to acquiesce in a form of government which affords public opinion no legitimate recognised organ of expression. The Emperor of the French has the good sense to see this : he knows that his absolute power is absolute only so long as it does not run directly counter to popular sentiment and opinions ; he knows that popular dislike of any course he may pursue, " having no tongue to speak," will of necessity first vent itself in action ; and he wisely seeks to prevent and b to carry the popular will with him as he pds, y volun tarily submitting to it early explanations. On the con trary, English Ministers, knowing that sooner or later they must be broug ht to book, put off the evil day as long as they can ; and Englishmen, satisfied that they possess the means will com slu pell inmber g M on in inisters e• this pleasin to rendecon r a accoun t when they , n sciousness of p ower, without exercising it. Thee cir cumstance, too, that Ministers can be peremptorily in terrogated only a certain season of the year—while Par liament is in session—renders it more difficult to extract information from them at any other time. Of late there fore, the attention of the English. public has been more frequently turned to Paris than to London, when on the watch for intimations of what the Allied Powers really think and inteni to do. This habit rests on the assump tion that the professions of entire unanimity made by the two Governments are really sincere ; and this assumption is at present tolerably well warranted. English Ministers know that a th ti e me, ca English peopale, t h oug h they may be gulled forcannot perm be kept in t he leadin g -strings of the Eastern despot • the Emperor of the French knows that between him and the old aristocracy of Europe then is a gulf placed which he cannot pass over ; boi,h Governments, French and English, are bound by the necessity of their nature to thwart and oppose the living re presentatives of the Holy A lli a nce . Their coquet ting with Austria has, therefore, been as false and insincere as the coquetting of that antiquated flirt with them. The affectation of mutual confidence and sym pathy has been ca rried nearl y to its utmost limits, and the mask must soon be removed on both sides. Of this impending necess it y the Em p eror of the Fr ench has na turally become sooner aware than havo the English M . n istry.

English Ministers are rather apt to pre sume on their knowledge of this, and fancy that a chronic, inactive grudge of this kind bodes them no harm. But the Eastern despots look upon the liberty of France as a new stumbling-stone in their way, which can be removed, and their hatred of it is as active as it is relentless. They are anxious to subvert the present dynasty of France, because it is of revolutionary origin, because it professes to reign in virtue of the people's choice, and because it is, therefore, by its mere existence, a standing protest against the legitimacy of the titles by which they claim to occupy their thrones. Knowing this, the Emperor of the French knows that though there may be occasional truces, and even alliances, between the English Government and the old despotisms, he has no such intervals of peace to expect ; that so long as these Governments exist he must sleep with his arms under his pillow, and keep his powder dry. This is another reason why French dis trust of the equivocal conduct of Austria should be pro claimed earlier and with less reserve than English. These considerations afford good ground for hope that the sentiments of the two great Western Allies on this score are the same, and that England is only behind France in expressing distrust of Austria, not of enter taining it. The two great Western Powers of Europe have nothing to fear from the enmity of the Eastern despots ; but they have much to dread from their friend ship. The entire, unreserved confidence of France and England, and their distrust and defiance of all other powers, present just now the only security for the future of both and of all civilised Europe.—Daily News. THE WAR.-THE VIENNA PROPOSALS. The Czar refuses the new Vienna proposals, and Aus tria declines to accept the refusal as a emus ball,. Aus tria continues satisfied with her position of "perfect nen: trality." At any rate she will wait for the capture of Sebastopol—or the Greek kalends. Such is the course which, after eighteen months spent in negotiation, the chivalrous young Emperor of Austria has decided on pursuing. A morning contemporary who has steadfastly supported the policy of the Austrian Go vernment, under the most trying circumstances, is much astonished and chagrined at a result which every one whose knowledge of the empire extended beyond the su burbs of Vienna perceived to be highly probable, if not inevitable. For, however much the foreign interests of Austria may be endangered by the admission of Russia, her domestic policy essentially depends upon Russian support. No one who was not blinded by Austrian as surances, or Austrian prejudices, could for a moment have believed that the Cabinet of Vienna would declare war against that of St. Petersburg, at a time when an essentially _Russian policy was still pursued towards Croatia and Hungary. The Times informs us that the active operations of war have been delayed for so many months for the sake of obtaining the concurrence of Austria ; and our contem porary admits that the expedition to Sebastopol could have been undertaken with at least an equal prospect of success at the commencement of the campaign instead of its conclusion. To Austrian diplomacy, therefore, we are indebted for the irreparable losses we have sustained by the delay of our army at Gallipoli and Varna. We must thank our neutral ally for the cruel ravages com mitted by disease in our camp, and for the additional sacrifices which will be occasioned whenever Sebastopol is attacked, in consequence of the preparations that Rus sia has made during the last six months for our recep- tion there. There are, indeed, some persons who believe that the retreat of the Russians has been occasioned by the threatened hostility of Austria ; but they should remem ber that the Russian army retreated before the Austrians advanced, and that when the Russian troops halted the Austrians halted also. The retirement of the Russians, and the occupation of Wallachia by the Austrians, bears every appearance of having been concerted between Count Buol and his brother-in-law, Count Meyendorff. For, in the first place, the Russians have not, as we now know from authority, anything to dread in the way of hostility from the occupying army ; and in the second, the latter are playing to admiration the game of the Russians themselves, by forcing on the reluctant Wal lachians Prince Stirbey, a man devoid of energy and destitute of popularity, instead of the able and patriotic General MaghtSro, who had been called to the post by the unanimous voice of his countrymen, and whose ap pointment had received theapproval of the Porte. Of course the Czar had nothing to say to Count Buol's propositions. Why should he ? Why should ITe con sent to tear up existing treaties, the price of a century's policy and war, unless absolutely compelled ? What excuse would he have to offer, after all his braggadocio ? Why, he dares not now do it, unless beaten. And we have not gone the way to beat him. We have avoided his armies in the field, and have not sought them in their fortresses. A single month has sufficed to destroy the illusions respecting the strength of granite batteries and the value of the Austrian alliance. These delusions have followed to the same limbo the opinion so decisively pronounced previously to the commencement of the war, that the first shot fired would be the signal for the destruction of Turkey. And. we are happy to find in some admirable letters which are now appearing in the Times respecting the various Christian races of Greece and Roumelia, full confirmation of the opinion which, in opposition to our contemporary, we from the first ventured to express, namely, that the project of forming a Byzantine Empire, based on Greek nationality, to re place the sway of the Sultan at Constantinople, was a scheme almost as chimerical and absurd as Lit undoubt edly was perfidious and revolutionary. A passage in the Moniteur of last week has escaped our contemporaries. It gave, extracted from an Eng lish paper, descriptions of Kars and Erzeroum, and added that such accounts were more than usually inte resting, as it was the intention of the allied Governments to occupy those towns by Anglo-French troops. Though this was not in the official part of the Moniteur, it im plied the belief of the editor of the journal that Anglo- French troops were going into Asia. We do not know if such an event is rendered more or less likely by the unfavourable news of the battle which has reached us this week. No doubt Kars and Erzeroum might by this time have been secure. Enough might easily have been done to prevent the possibility of Russian conquest. Twenty or thirty thousand Anglo- French would have expelled the Russians from Georgia. But it has been the rule of the present war to sacrifice everything to small and secondary aims, as if great ones were beyond our spirit and grasp. We fortified Gallipoli when we ought to have attacked Sebastopol, and we take Bomarsund when we should have bom barded Cronstadt. Under cover of preparing for the capture of Sebasto pol, we have tarried for months at Varna, and the re sult is a greater loss than we could have suffered in action, without any result whatever. No doubt it was Austria's hope from the first to occupy the Principalities without incurring the actual hostility of Russia. But since the latter has returned a defiant answer to Count Buol's proposals this may have become less certain, and who knows but that Marshal St. Arnaud may not even yet, notwithstanding his order of the day and the em barkations already begun, find himself under the sup posed necessity of recommending that the bulk of the army should be kept near the Danube, in order to pre vent Austria from being crushed ? Austrian neutrality is an expensive thing. It is now six weeks and upwards since the first an nouncement that the flower of the Anglo-French army was to proceed to Sebastopol. The Russians, we may be sure, have not lost these six weeks. We know that a Russian steamer which got out of Sebastopol looked in at Odessa, as if for experiment, and returned safely to the fortified harbour. The blockade had been relaxed for the purpose of bringing the army to Sebas topol. We have not yet accomplished that design, and we have done what we could to enable the Russians to baffle our attempt at its accomplishment. Grave impttations have this week been levelled at the naval commanners. It has been asserted that the ad mirals in the Baltic and the Black Sea have not done all that even their orders enjoined or would have em powered them to do. This statement, from a journal known to receive ministerial communications, the naval commanders must meet as they can. The same journal could not find words of reprobation strong enough when Lords Clanricarde and Dudley Stuart criticised the movements of the fleets. It was so ungenerous to attack the absent commanders. And when those members of the houses of Parliament declared that their censure was directed against the ministry and not against the admi rals, the indignation of the Times was by no means en tirely appeased. Now, however, we are told by the same authority that these brave officers have not done all that was expected of them. We must observe, how ever, on their behalf, that the declaration accords strangely ill with the positive assurance from the same quarter that the effective prosecution of the war was suspended until the concurrence of Austria could be se oured. It will be poor encouragement to men burdened with such heavy responsibility as that which weighs upon Sir Charles Napier and Apmiral Dundas, if they are to a.e made the scape-goats of deluded diplomatists.— iner. " NON MI RICORDO." A day or two ago two little boys were walking along the High-street at Windsor, when, moved by a sudden impulse, one of them, whom we shall call Tom Jones, remarked to his companion, in an interrogative form— " Don't you remember ?" His companion, whom we may designate as little Joseph Andrews, in real or af fected ignorance of the circumstances to which his friend referred, simply replied—" I have no recollection what ever !" Now, by a strange coincidence it so happened that Major Maxwell and Adjutant M'Alister, two of the bright luminaries who adorn the firmament of the 46th, happened to be passing that way. Did the conscience of Maxwell give him an unusual pinch ? Did a dark cloud of sullenness obscure the mind of the candid AVAlister ? We know not, but they were moved to wrath. It seems strange that officers of that truly honourable corps should thus allow their passions to get the bettor of them without adequate cause. Young Perry—and he was but a lad—was deeply to blame for turning upon those who had made him the subject (:S personal brutality, but the sensitive Major and cholericJn Adjutant were justified in turning upon Masterse o, and Andrews for verbal jocularity. Conscientle.eet. joke some times lends a string to a jest, and converts a hard into an insult. Now, it does seem a little that the undaunted witnesses of the 46th ohs others t he the a nd bench of to mete out Horse Guards' justice to i„ civilian's justice for themselves. Windsor magistrates—or be—constitute themselves a Court whoever the aut horities . Masters Jones and Andrews, who h ave , eust been wrongfully handed into may l a d rd be to ab u le s ,r: sh ould obtain Martial in the case of we understand, dy of the police or the Provost-marshal, with the fixed determination of givin g M and set abo ut their_efisopr.oisicezzliwnegisi and M'Alister a month a-piece at the treadmill, what. ever may happen. It would be proper, in the first place, we should conceive, to constitute them prisoners, and con skier Mas ters Jon es and Andrews as prosecutors. The good of the street service at Windsor requires the substitu tion. When this has been effected, Master Jones may be allowed to prove his case by the evidence of Master Andrews, and vice versd. The questions should be few and simple. Master Andrews might be asked—" Do you upon any occasion remember that Master Jones put to you, in the High-street of Windsor, the following question, "Do you remember !' " Master Andrews might then reply—"l have not the slightest recollection whatever." It would be then proper to invoke the testi- mony of a few by-standers—tlie peculiar intimates and associates of the two friends, who would of course, like them, "have no recollection whatever." Let the next question to these witnesses be as to character :—"From your knowledge of Master Jones, should you say that he was a young person in the habit of poking fun at the passers-by in the public streets ?" The stereotyped re ply for each and all of the witnesses might run some thing as follows :—" From my knowledge of Master Jones, I am able state with great confidence to this honourable Court that he never thought of such a thing. If he has a defect, it is that of over-seriousness and too anxious attendance at the Sunday school. When some bad boys endeavoured to teach him the words of the popular air known as Pop goes the Weasel,' it is a fact ' that Master Jones couldn't be brought to do it to any other tune than that of the 'Evening Hymn,' when they wos suddenly conwerted.' " Question from the Court—" Can you inform us, Master Andrews, why the young gentlemen of Windsor appear to have taken a. prejudice against the two prisoners!" Answer from Master Andrews,—" On account of their forward and presuming behaviour." In dealing with the evidence for the defence, it will only be necessary for the magis trates to remember that their great care must be to pre vent the prisoners from calling any witness who could be of the slightest use to them ; or, if s uch an one should by inadvertence be introduced, the nuisance must be forthwith abated, by informing him that his testimony was not wanted. The Court had just made up their minds only to receive evidence for the period which began to run from five minutes later than the occurrence of the fact to .which the troublesome —na wit- W t h h e e s n ita th ti e o b n y i s n ta r n e d c e o rs rdi a n re g r s e c ca ou n ld b d e e n po o s g e. rea wit ness conclusion :—" Major Ma xwe ll and Adjutant M'Alister are found guilty of offence charged—namely, d a go t foregone ri d o' mely, of having been jocularly addressed, but- not otherwise, and are sentenced accordingly to a month a-piece at the tread mill, with recommendation to mercy on account of their size." This finding must then be sent up to Lord Har dinge, and will be soon returned with the note of that military Minos :—" Approved, but Major Maxwell allowed the use of slippers and flannel waistcoats while on the wheel, in consideration of his age and rheuma tism." Such would be a specimen of pure Horse Guards' justice. But we cannot with a good 1 - .. art indulge in mere joking over the honour and character of the British officer. Lord Hardinge has chosen his path ; let him see where it will end. He may be acquainted with the temper of the British soldier, but be knows little indeed of the temper of the British people if he presumes that he has heard thellast of the scandalous business of Mr. Perry. Can he or anybody be surprised that the officers of the 46th have become the objects of the gibes and jeers of the passers-by ? Certainly we do not commend those who violate or provoke to a violation of the publio peace. Could we suppose that any words of ours would be effective to that end, we would entreat the young women and little boys at Windsor to desist, and leave the officers of the 46th to the enjoyment of their own success and the position they have made for themselves. But we know well, in a case of this kind, that remon strance is utterly unavailing, even when the parties are in the right ; what must it he when they are so pal pably in the wrong ? Lord Hardinge cannot direct Colonel Garrett to turn the bayonets of her Majesty's 46th regiment of infantry against the muffin boys and orange girls of Windsor. We presume that to crown the whole proceeding with a street massacre would be a measure somewhat too strong even for the authorities at the Horse Guards. Well, then, what is to be done ! Supposing, as in the case of the two officers who seined the little boys the other day, they persist in the plan of handing offenders over to the civil authorities ? A seemly spectacle it will be that the Queen's officers should at any hour of the day be seen chasing the little varlets about the streets of Windsor amid shouts of "Do you remember?" " I have no recollection whatever." Be sides, every trial will be duly reported, and each case will serve as a fresh stimulus to public indignation. If the officers of the 46th have recourse to open violence, one blow will bring on another ; there will be a general row—murder most probably, and Calcraft at the end of the whole transaction. Lord Hardinge must remember that every civil magistrate, every police-officer, and every man, woman, and child iu the Queen's dominions, with the exception of a few attached to the ruling mili tary clique,.look upon the conduct of the officers—not of the men, who, we believe, have behaved in an exem plary manner—of this regiment with just indignation ; so they have but little assistance or sympathy to expect, save what must be given them by the strictness of the law. The opinion, if not the hand, of every Englishman is against them. The only course really to be adopted with this notorious regiment—we are speaking only of the officers—is to keep them closely in barracks until they can be smuggled off to the East. From the intel ligence we publish this day we foresee the probable occur rence of events which all men would be anxious to avoid. We call Lord Hardinge's attention to the matter while it is yet time, and before the blood of any of the Queen's subjects has been shed. In the present frame of the public mind at Windsor a collision between the soldiers and the people is far indeed from being an improbable event, and the consequences of such collisions in the pro vinces we have bad to record even within the last few days.—Times. DREADFUL ATUR,DER OF AN ENGLISH LADY AND GENTLEMAN IN GREECE. ATEENS, Sept. I.—Great sensation has been caused here on receipt of intelligence from Negropont, that Mr. Henry Leeves and his wife have both been mur dered in their house in the village of Castaniotiza, of which village and a considerable extent of land he was the proprietor. All that is known here at present is, that the crime was perpetrated on Sunday, the 28th ult.; that a forcible entry of the house was effected; that Mr. Leeves attempted resistance, and wounded one of the assassins, but was overpowered, and that after the double murder a quantity of silver plate was carried off. Mr. Leaves was about 30 years of age, son of a former chaplain to the British mission at Athens, and married about 18 months since a young lady whose family reside at Manchester, who a few months since gave birth to a child, respecting the fate of which nothing is stated. It appears that Mr. Leeves held the appointment of British consular agent, or vice-consul, at Negropont. Mr. Wyse, British Minister at Athens, on receiving official intelligence of this shocking affair, instantly took steps towards instituting the most searching in quiry, with the view, if possible, of discovering the murderers and bringing them to justice. Immediate orders were sent to the Piraeus, to the commander of her Alajesty's war-steamer Medina, to get up her steam and proceed to Negropont ; and Mr. Merlin, British vice consul at Athens, and Mr. Locock, attaché to the British mission, were directed to proceed in the Medina with the Greek authorities, to make the most rigid investi gations on the spot. They left the Piraeus yesterday. The Rev. Dr. Hill, chaplain to the British mission, voluntarily accompanied the expedition, as he had been intimately acquainted with the deceased, and thought he might be of use in protecting the infant, should it have escaped the fate of its parents.
