CITY, TWO o'CLOCK, The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, in eluding 600 American and 400 Surat taken for ex port. The market closed very heavily, and, com pared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds had a downward tendency. The sales comprised 200 Egyptian, at sd. to 10d. ; 700 Surat, at 3d. to 41d., and the remainder nearly all American. Railway Shares were steady. The Pacific steamer with New York advices of the 11th inst. has arrived. Her mails are expected to be delivered at about 1 o'clock tie afternoon. The Half-yearly dividend on Russian Stocks and on Swedish Provincial Mortgage Bonds have been advertised for payment as usual. With reference to the late failure in the provision trade of London, a statement of the assets and liabilities of Messrs. Allan and Anderson, show the former to be only 8,0001., whilst the latter amount to 273,0001. The realisation of the estate, therefore, promises to afford only ss. in the pound to the creditors. Messrs. WHenry and Co., of Liverpool, will, it is reported, pay only 2s. 61. in the pound. The assets of Mr. Oliver, of Liverpool, are being rea lised. On the 7th of next month the greater por tion of his vessels will be sold. In consequence of the boisterous state of the weather during the last few days, a very large fleet of colliers has been detained in the north, causing a rise in the price of coal in the metropolis. About 1,000 vessels in the Tyne alone have been so de tained, but a portion have now got put to sea, and with the pressure of large supplies the price of coal may be expected to go down a little. The appearance of the English Stock Market is to-day more in favour of prices, being steadily maintained until such time as decisive news is re ceived from the Crimea, thus [indicative of a de cline. The present quotations are i t to 1 per cent. higher than the closing rates of yesterday. Consols are 91i to for money, and 91i to 92 for the ac count, Reduced 3 per Cents. are 90} g, and the New 3 per Cents. 91i Exchequer Bills 2s. to ss. premium ; Bank Stock 211 to 212. The market for Foreign Stocks presents li to change of any kind. Business is extremely inac tive. Turkish Scrip is firm at 5i to 51 dis. The operations in Railway Shares are moderate, but the market is firmer, being under the influence of that for the English funds. North Western are now 98k to 1, or 1i to 1± below par.

As the imports of foreign grain are increasing, and the attendance of millers was rather limited, the demand was in a sluggish state, at Menday's currency. Foreign wh ea t , the supply of which was by no means extensive, moved off slowly, at barely the late decline. We Issd a dull inquiry for barley, the value of which had a downward tendency. Malt sold steadily, and the quotations were well sup ported. The oat trade was very dull, and prices were again rather lower. Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, on former terms. English ..

FINNBT, Secy. and Actuary WTNNSTAY HALL, DENEIGHSHIRL—This magnificent residence, the seat of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., is now undergoing the process of extensive alterations and repairs. The entrance, which has hitherto been at the side of the lake, will now look towards the front or Llangollen side, the entrance being through the dining roem, which has been converted into an entrance hall. The whole of the ancient portion of the edifice, which was pulled down a few years since, is now being rebuilt, and, when completed, will add much to the beauty and extent of this noble mansion. There is now at Wynn stay one of the finest hunting studs in the kingdom, com prising no fewer than fifty first-rate animals, whilst the kennel numbers sixty pairs of splendid hounds, the whole forming au extraordinary establishment for one gentleman to keep up. PRICE or G Ol.D.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.141 ; and, the exchange at Paris on Loudon at short being 25.04 it fellows that gold is about 0.28 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark, w hi c h , at the Eng lish Mint price of 31. 17s. 10A,d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.4,1 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.31, it f o ll ows that gold is 0.30 per cent, dearer in Hambur g than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is no- minally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after makir.g allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United states.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 21.—We are still obliged to say that the course of depression in our market meets with no interruption, and includes nearly all articles. The exceptions appear to be pretty much confined, in yarns, to spinnings adapted to the Mediterranean and Levant markets, and, in goods, to the better qualities of print ing cloths, perhaps also to T cloths and some kinds of domestics. The decline in prices is more marked in India twist, and in the middle numbers of pin cops and cop twist than in other yarns ; in the medium counts of throstle warps the decline is not quite so great. The Greek merchants continue to be our principal buyers. The Germans confine themselves to small purchases in the way of assortment, which, though pretty numerous, are of comparatively small amount. For India goods there are offers, but at prices so much below the ruinous rates which producers are willing to accept as to lead to no transactions. In India yarns some business has been done on reduced terms. RocHDALE, Nov. 20.—The demand for flannels slack ens, which is generally the case at this time of the year, whether business has been previously brisk or dull. The wool market continues steady, and the manufac turers buy as if they did not anticipate soon either a rise or a fall in the raw material. PROMOTION OF LORD RAGLAN. L that Lord d h t e ", g e a Qz Raglane u tt e e ea o n f h l a as s t b n ee i gnh graciously Field-Marshal contains in the p t he army,e e a saend to his n a c p e p m o e i n n t t commis sion to bear date the sth of this present November, the day of the last known victory of the Allies. Since the death of the Marquis of Anglesey no officer of the British army has enjoyed this high rank as a reward for actual service, our only field-marshals having been H. R. H. Prince Albert and his Majesty the King of the Belgians. This is the first instance in which the new warrant regulating promotions for distinguished merit bas been carried into effect. Formerly it would not have been possible to raise Lord Raglan to the highest rank in the army unless he should outlive all all his seniors of the rank of general. Field-Marshal Lord Raglan entered the army on the 9th of June, 1804, as cornet in the 4th Light Dragoons. The following are the dates of his succeeding commissions :—Lieu tenant, 30th May, 1805, 4th Light Dragoons ; captain, sth May, 1808, 6th garrison battalion ; appointed to 43d Regiment, 18th August, 1808 ; brevet major, 9th June, 1811 ; brevet lieutenant-colonel, 27th April, 1812 ; cap tain and lieutenant-colonel Ist Foot Guards, 25th July, 1814 ; colonel, 28th August, 1815 ; major-general, 27th May, 1825 ; appointed military secretary to the Corn- ' wander-in-Chief, 29th August, 1827 ; appointed colonel of the 53d Regiment, 19th November, 1830 ; lieutenant general, 28th June, 1838 ; appointed Master-General of the Ordnance, 30th September, 1852 ; local rank of general, 21st February, 1854. Lord Raglan received the gold medal for Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, Toulouse ; silver medal for Roleia, Talavera, Busaco, Ciudad Ro drigo. Lord Raglan is the ninth son of the fifth Duke of Beaufort, and was born in 1788. His elevation to the peerage and introduction to the Privy Council took place in 1852. RELEASE OF LORD DUNKELLIN. We have sincere pleasure in giving publicity to the following communication. The public will sympathise with the joy of an excellent and patriotic nobleman; and the public will be glad to learn that even the stern and relentless Autocrat of Russia has his " compunctious visitings "—is accessible to a sense of friendship. Even on the least charitable assumption—that the Czar is merely playing a part—it shows that oven he feels the necessity of deferring in some things to public opinion : " Lord Clanricarde has received a letter from Prince Dolgorouky, the Minister of War at St. Petersburg, in forming him that the Emperor, recollecting, with plea sure, the time when Lord Clanricarde represented the Queen, as her Majesty's ambassador at the imperial court, felt real satisfaction in restoring to him his son who, by the chances of war, had fallen into the hands of the Russians. Prince Dolgorouky adds, that it had been agreeable to his imperial master to have, in this matter, forestalled the proposal for an exchange of Lord Dun kellin, which Lord Raglan had addressed to Prince Menschikoff, and he begs that Captain Kousowleff, the officer offered by Lord Raglan, may, it he should be in England, be sent to Russia. Lord Dunkellin will, there fore, be enabled shortly to return to active service." WROUGHT-IRON GUNS. TO THE EDITOR 017 TUB TIMES. believe "Wrought Iron" is right in his views about the utility of the gun ho speaks of ix the Times of yesterday. About seven years ago I made some wrought-iren cannons, about half a ton weight each. They were tried most severely by an eminent firm, who are noted makers of cast-iron cannon, and the result was most satisfactory. I believe they were also tested at Woolwich with equal success (the trunnions were not forged on them). Of the safety of these guss I have no doubt ; the only drawback to their being more exten sively used I consider to be their cost. They could be made as large as the Lancaster, or, in fact, any size, but would be very expensive, though not so much so as brass guns. I consider them safer than the latter, as it is well known that the more heated brass guns be come from excessive firing the weaker they are, while the contrary is the case with wrought-iron ones.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Nov. 20. HAMMERED IRON. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 21. The dinner party yesterday included her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Augusta Bruce, Lady Emily Cavendish, Baroness de Speth, and Sir Charles Wood. The band of the Royal Horse Guards played during dinner, and her . Majesty's private band after. The Queen and Prince, with the Royal children, ac companied by the Princess Gauromina of Coorg, walked in the grounds adjacent to the Castle this forenoon. Tbis being the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Royal the band of the Royal Horse Guards played several select pieces on the South Terrace at seven o'clock this morning. Lady Churchill has succeeded the Countess of Gains borough as lady in waiting. Lady Gainsborough re mains •n a visit. The Earl of Listowel and General Sir Frederick Stovin have succeeded Lord Byron and Mr. F. Caven dish as lord and groom in waiting. The Hen. Charles Gore has been invited, and is ex pected this afternoon. THE PRINCESS ROYAL'S BIRTHDAY. WINDSOR, TUESDAY NIGHT. This day the Princess Royal complete(' her 14th year, having been born on the 21st Nov., 1840. The auspicious event was celebrated with the customary rejoicings. At 7 o'clock in the morning the fine band of the Royal Horse Guards marched from the barracks at Spital to the east terrace of Windsor Castle, where they played a serenade under the windows of the privateapartments. The bells of the Chapel Royal, St George, and St John's Church, sent forth merry peals early in the morning, and at in tervals throughout the day. At noon, a royal salute was fired from Belvedere Fort, and was answered from the Royal Adelaide frigate on Virginia Water. At one ' o'clock a royal salute was also fired from the Batchelor's Acre by Mr. Pond, the town bombardier, from the corporation ordnance, and in the evening several of the royal tradespeople's houses were illuminated. CABINET COUNCIL. —A Cabinet Council was held yes terday afternoon at the Foreign Office. It was attended by the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Clarendon, Sir George Grey, the Duke of Newcastle, the Chancellor of t he Exche q uer, Sir James Graham, Sir Charles Wood , the Ri g ht Hon. Sidne y Herbert, Sir William Molesworth, and E arl Granville . The council sat three hours. DEATH OF LORD LORTON.—Accounts have reached town of the death of Viscount Lorton, at Rocking ham, after an hour's illness. He was an Irish repro sontative peer, a general in the army, Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorinn of Roscommon, and colonel of militia in that county. Two members of Parliament were killed at the battle of Inkerrnan on the tith—Lieut. Col. E. W. Pakenham, of the Grenadier Guards, member for Antrim, and Lieut. Col. James Hunter Blair, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, M.P. for Ayr. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES.—We understand that the Electric and International Telegraph Companies are making arrangements for the conveyance of telegraphic despatches from officers in the East to their relatives or friends at home, and that it is intended to transmit such messages free of charge over their lines from the Hague to any of the companies' stations in . Great Britain. It is hoped tha t these arrangements will be the means of more speedily relieving the anxiety which naturally exists in this country respecting the health or safety of those officers engaged in the siege, or who may be under medi treatuiest at Constantinople. THE REINFORCEMENTS. Yesterday morning two detachments of troops, be longing to the 41st and 49th Regiments, and amounting to about 122 rank and file, under the command of Capt. Pratt, arrived at Liverpool, from Dublin, for Ports mouth, whether they will proceed to-day for the purpose of embarking in the steamer Adelaide for Balaklava. The 54th Regiment of Foot will embark at Liverpool on Friday, on board the British and North &merican steamer Niagara, which has been taken up by Govern ment, for the purpose of conveying them direct to the Crimea. A draft from the 9th Foot, stationed at Tralee, con sisting of two serjeants, and 70 rank and file ; a draft of one serjeant and 70 rank and file from the 41st at Templemore, and a draft of one serjeant and 50 rank and file from Fermoy, are under orders to proceed to Portsmouth, to embark there for the Crimea:. The 66th Regiment are to leave Preston (Lancashire) to embark in the Tamar steamer at Southampton on the 24th inst. This regiment, which only arrived at this port from Canada a few weeks since, proceeds to Gib raltar to take the place of other troops proceeding to the Crimea from that fortress; The following detachments arrived by rail in Ports mouth garrison from Walmer yesterday afternoon, to embark for the Crimea in the screw ship Robert Lowe, on her arrival here from Woolwich :-3 sergeants and 160 rank and file of the 3Sth Regiment, and 2 officers, 3 sergeants, and 150 rank and file of the 44th Regiment. Two companies of the Royal Artillery— Captain Graydon's and Capt. Oldfield's, embarked yesterday at Portsmouth for the Crimea. This valuable reinforcement of this important .branch of the service numbers 270 men ; the following being the officers who accom pany it : —Capt. Graydon's Company—Captain George Graydon ; Second Captain, A. C. Gleig ; First Lieu tenants, Richard R. Jones and Wolfe. Captain Old field's Company—Captain A. Oldfield ; Second Captain, F. J. Soody ; First Lieutenants, R. H. Champion and Briscoe. The two companies arrived at the railway terminus by a special train, per the South Coast Railway from Woolwich, at about a quarter to twelve o'clock to day, and at about one o'clock marched to the Dockyard for embarkation on board the steamer that was to take them out to the Dauntless, 33, steam-frigate, Captain A. P. Ryder, at Spithead. Orders have not as yet reached the 82d Regiment (sta tioned in Edinburgh Castle) to proceed either to Corfu or the Crimea, but instructions have been given to re inforce with all rapidity, so as, if possible, to augment the corps to the war strength of 1,000 men. At pre sent the 82d scarcely numbers 600 men, its strength having been diminished by several hundred men having volunteered into regiments serving in the East. Large recruiting parties have been for some time almost daily parading the streets of Edinburgh, and there, as well as elsewhere, considerable numbers of recruits have been attracted to the regiment. In the Edinburgh district recruiting is at present proceeding at the rate of about 60 men per week ; in Glasgow the recent average has been above a hundred, and, though these numbers are comparatively small, the embodiment of the Scottish militia will probably, ere long, excite the military dispo sition in Scotland to the height which has recently been exhibited in many parts of the sister kingdoms. The Drake, mortar-vessel, will tako a trip to-morrow outside to prove her mortar fittings, after which she pro ceeds to Sheerness to test her new principle against the old, and then will be sent to the Crimea. We have no doubt of the results, and will report progress. Recruiting is more - successful in Liverpool than it has been in Manchester and its neighbourhood, and within the last seven days not less than 200 billets have been applied for on behalf of recruits in that town. The Indiana, screw, belonging to the General Screw Steam-shipping Company, 2,364 tons burden, and 300- horse power, left Southampton last evening, the wind blowing hard from the westward. She is, unfortunately, short of two or three hands, owing to some having de serted after receiving their advance notes. She will pro ceed to Toulon, as previously stated, to embark 1,400 French troops. The Tamar, paddle, belonging to the Royal Mail com pany, of 1800 tons burden, and 450-horse power, will leave for the Black Sea on Friday. Previous to her de parture she will embark a regiment. They will be con veyed to Gibraltar for the purpose of relieving another regiment for transportation to the Black Sea. The Nubia, screw, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, of 2,200 tons burden and 450-horse power, is hourly expected with the heavy portion of the India and China mails. She will be immediately got in readiness to proceed to Toulon, having been chartered by government for the conveyance of troops. The following orders have been issued by the Inspec tor-General of Cavalry to officers in command of regi ments and depots, &c. :—" No three•year•old is for the present to ha purchased. Officers commanding are to use their utmost endeavours to obtain four-year-olds at the present price, 261. ss. With a view to ren dering augmentation recently authorised to the cavalry regiments serving at home and iu Turkey (but especially those in Turkey) available for service with the least possible delay, the Secretary at War has sanctioned seasoned horses being purchased at the following prices :—Five and six year olds, 321. ; seven and eight year olds, 401. These horses must be in lgood condition, and no horse be purchased at these prices that is not at once fit to be put into the ranks as regards condition and stamina. A few horses from the class from which cavalry horses are purchased arrive at the age of seven or eight years without being blemished or show ing some defect, veterinary surgeons are to be in structed not to reject horses for defects which will not interfere with a horse doing his work ; and to bear in mind that the object to bo attained is to procure a con stitutionally sound horse fit for the immediate service for which he is required. You will report to me on the let of every month what progress you have made in the last month in procuring horses, specifying their ages, for the information of the General Commanding-in-Chief. By order, &c.—JosErm THACKWELL, Lieutenant-General, Inspector-General of Cavalry." SUBSIDIES TO FOREIGN STATES. A Parliamentary paper was issued yesterday, showing the subsidies annually paid by Great Britain to foreign States from 1792 to the present time. The following are the respective totals down to 1816, after which year the pr.yments, with the exception of about 1,500,0001. for fortifications in the Netherlands between 1818 and 1820, have comprised only those orthe Russian-Dutch loan and the Greek loan, which amount annually to about 130,0001. 1793 £833,273 1794 2,550,244 1795 5,724,961 1796 32,870; 1797 1,684,585 1798 127,013 1799 849,812 1800 2,613,177 1801 690,113 1802 285,450 1803..... 212,275 1804 103,423 1805 £35,340 1806 595,847 1807 859,082 1808 2,897,873 11809 2,579,039 1 1810 2,110,543 1811 2,367,413 181° 1813 6,786,021 1814 8,442,577 1815 10,024,730 ,1816. The extent to which Russia shared in the distribution of the above totals was as follows :-825,0001. in 1799, 545,494/. in 1800, 200,0001. in 1802, 63,0001. in 1803, 614,1821. in 1807, 200,0001. in 1813, 2,169,9821. in 1814, 3,241,9191. in 1815, and 1,096,3551. in 1816. THE ALLIED POSITION. The Allied armies are encamped upon a plat of above four miles in length and six in breadth, but the ground is so high above the neighbouring valleys that a large force on these heights could resist ten times its number. Towards Balaklava the ascent from the plain below is, generally speaking, very abrupt, so that from the sea to the Inkerman Valley—i. e. , the valley by the side of which an important part o the harbour of Sebastopol runs—is easily defended. The French have raised a breastwork along the whole line, batteries are placed in well-selected positions, redoubts and redans command certain roads and passes, and where the smallest chance offered for a cavalry passage due protection has been applied ; so that as long as we have an army of the pre sent strength no enemy need be feared in this direction. The platean on which we rest is not square, but bounded by three curves— one on the coast line ; the second, or Balaklava line, from the sea to the point whence you look down into the Inkerman Valley ; the third, running from that point towards the sea, parallel with the town, and dipping towards the coast, until at last it is about level with the highest part of the arsenal side of Sebastopol. Along this last line, upon spurs of hills running out towards the ofor tress, our batteries are placed, the French, left attack, occupying the broad slip spoken of above as level with a part of the town. Of course, betw_een theseeetthe a spurs there are gorges, and these run down d plain, which narrows as you draw from Inkerman nm sea ward. The only assailable past of our pbe set downositienis th a a s t towards the fortress; but even that may always have at perfectly secure, considering the hand, provided ordinary watchfulnessebeexnearcmiseedd.as We e have on the right attack four batteries, fol lows :—Right Lancaster, Left Lancaster 3 , o and Four-gun Battery, mounting about Battery, with 36 guns, guns ; and our nearest gun being on the left the large Greenhill least 1,200 yards from Sebas topol. In advance w e a h t averu.n an approach which is within 600 yards of t he enemy , but this is not intended to aid a battery so much as to form a cover for the storming parties whenever an attack shall be determined en. In rear of the se batteries,beginningfrom our ex treme right, lie the 2d, Ist Light, 3d, and 4th Divisions, ready at a moments notice to repel any sortie, should the covering parties find themselves unable to hold their own. The great difficulty on the English side con s i s t s in the rocky nature of the ground, which quite pre vents sapping close up to the wads, and terribly in. creases the labour for the poor men. Between us and the French there is a long and deep rav i ne, b eyond which are the French batteries, finely placed on a level with the high ground of the town, and, as the soil is com paratively deep, the engineer has a better chance. Gene ral Bizot is one of the Vauban school, and is quietly, but confidently, approaching the walls. The batteries defending Sebastopol are five in front and two in the town, all mud works, and apparently well constructed. As to the number of guns it is impossible to speak accu• rately. There ara probably not less than 150 in posi tion, and the injury received from the Allies during the day is repaired from the arsenal during the night. 3d November, 1854.

A communication from Colonel Rawlinson was read, which consisted chiefly of some notes on Assyrian no menclature, in rectification of the statements published by Dr. Hinckes in the Literary Gazette in April and August last. As regards the chronology of the reign of Sargon and Sennaelierib, Colonel Rawlinson agrees gene rally with Dr. Hinckes in placing their dates from B.C. 722 to 680; it must not be forgotten, however, that these dates are derived entirely from Ptolemy's canon, and should, therefore, any error exist in the dates of the canon, the conclusions arrived at, though relatively right, will be positively wrong. Col. Rawlinson therefore defers pro nouncing any further opinion until the verification or otherwise, of Ptolemy's dates has been shown by the astro nomical calculations which Mr. Bosanquet proposes to apply in test of the various eclipses recorded by Ptolemy. Col. Rawlinson agrees with Mr. Hinekes that there were probably two distinct sons of Sennacherib, the eldest named Asshur-nadin-iddin, and not simply Assur-nadin, as read by Dr. Hinekes, and the younger, Asshur-akh iddin, who was the Esar-Haddon of Scripture. Colonel Rawlinson reiterates what he published in the Athenceum of the 18th of March last, that Esar-Haddon was suc ceeded by his son Asshur-bani-pal, and proceeds to show that of the three eons which Dr. Hinckes has attri buted to Esar-Haddon under the names of A.ssur yuchura-bal, Assur-bani-bal, and Shamas-ake-iddan, the two former represent the same individual, and the latter no other than Esar Haddon himself. Dr. Hinckes represents the first two as reigning in Assyria succes sively after the death of their father, and the third con temporaneously in Babylonia ; but this triad is cer tainly fictitious, and depends altogether on a mistaken reading of the cuneiform names. The name Nabu isia-yuchur, which Dr. Hinckes has applied to Nabopo lesser, the father of Nebuchadnezzar, involves a double error—first an erroneous reading of one of the charac ters, which has led him, in the second place, to assign the name to Nebopolassar instead of Nabonidus. The reading of the name in question as Nabunit, and the identification of it with Nabonidus, which Colonel Rawlinson published more than three years ago, has since been abundantly confirmed by a hundred examples. There is, however, just a possibility that the name may be phonetically rendered as Nabo-imduk or Nabo-induk. Dr. Ilinckes's reading of this name being erroneous, the other readings founded upon it are equally wrong, so that the names of Nabu-bin-yuchur, Sharnsi bin (Ben Fladad), and Assur-yuchura-bal, together with a number of historical illustrations, must be aban d -oiled. The only addition Colonel Rawlinsea has to make to his sketch cf Assyrian histery is that of the son of Asshur-bani-pal, many relics of whom have been found in the south-east palace at Nimrod. The name of this prince nay be provisionally read as Asshur emit-ili, and as he probably reigned from B. C. 645 to 625, the Scythian inroad and the destruction of Nine veh by the Medes must both be placed in his reign. A considerable portion of the Birs-i-Nimrud has been laid bare, so that the architecture and plan of the temple are clear, hut the results of the excavations have not equalled the expectations formed of them. A communication was also read from Professor Wilson, consisting of a correspondence between him self and Sir J. Bowring, upon the subject of the Buddhist books known to have been carried from India and translated into Chinese, in the first six or seven centuries of the Christian era. Sir John has taken up the inquiry with much zeal, and, with the assistance of Mr. Edkins, a gentleman who is develo ing himself especially to this particular field of Chi nese literature, has succeeded in obtaining copies of several of the works in question. These works have been sent to England, and with them some notices of their contents. They are of an interesting character, but are evidently not among the most ancient of the Buddhist authorities. One of them is said to be a Chinese version of the work translated by Burnouf from the Sanscrit, under the title of "Le Lottus de la bonne loi." Inquiries for other works of this kind are being actively prosecuted, and it is extremely desirable that no time should be lost, as the Tae-ping-wang people (the insurgents) everywhere destroy all libraries and books excepting their own, which are compositions of the most ♦ulgar character. 71} 70j 1 13. 5, all 15 10 5 St. 25 all all lli all SOUTH AUSTRALIA. lea . s• The advises from South Australia received by the last mail describe an extraordinary proposal which has been transmitted to the Home Government for the construc tion of a railway, 1,000 miles in length, to connect the three colonies of South Australia, Victoria, and Syd ney. The plan, as detailed by Sir Henry Young, the Governor of South Australia, is, that the necessary capi. tal, which is estimated at 10,000,0001., should be raised by a loan, the interest of which should be provided for by votes of the three colonies, and guaranteed at the same time by the Imperial Government, and that the lands for 10 miles on both sides of the line, amounting to 12,800,000 acres, should be placed under the administra tion of commissioners, with the view of being gradually realised, one-half of their proceads to be applied to redeem the loan and a - -;;Aer half fer introducing labour h -.ate to be followed would be chiefly ais ea.,ey of the Murray, with a branch from Swan Hill to Melbourne ; and the work, it is thought, could be carried on at the rate of 200 miles per annum, and thus be completed in five years. But even this pro posal is moderate, compared with another for the same purpose which Sir Henry Young also forwards as having been submitted to him by Mr. Justice Boothby. In addition to the railway, the judge would construct enor mous docks at each great terminus, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, capable of accommodating the largest ocean steamers, and, instead of 10,000,0001., he pro poses a capital of 21,000,000/., as, with the guarantee of the Imperial Government, the larger sum can, of course, be as easily raised as the smaller. Lookiug at either proposition, the whole affair furnishes a new instance of the delusions of communities who expect to be forced into greatness by extra neous help, instead of being satisfied with a steady growth. It also realises the predictions of those who objected to imperial aid being afforded in the shape of guarantees of interest for public works in Canada, since one of the most prominent arguments in the present case is founded on the willingness expressed some few years back by various members of the home Govern ment to adopt that system for the advantage of the North American provinces. It is admitted that the imperial guarantee would enable the money to be raised on terms at least two per cent. below those which would otherwise be practicable, and that even on the 10,000,0001. it would therefore "be equivalent to a grant from the home Government of 200,0001. per annum ;'' but, instead of seeing that this would be an unanswerable objection, the colonists appear to think it an especial recommendation and it is urged upon the Celonial - office accordingly, the expression obviously being that the credit of the mother country is something that can be universally diffused without loss of any kind. Whenever the time is ripe for such an undertaking as the railroad in question private enterprise will be ready to carry it out, and the greatest injury that could fall upon Australia would be inflicted by teaching her to rely for advancement on other means. Sir Henry Young, by the untiring zeal with which he for years promoted every attempt to open up the Mur ray, as well as by his constant desire to identify himself with the practical welfare of the people, can only have deea dazzled temporarily into a recommendation of the present scheme, since, even apart from its intrinsic soundness, nothing could for a moment be taken into consideration while all the energies of the nation are ab• sorbed in war. RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN CHINA. While some of our journalists appear disposed to take up with the ingenious stories sent now from Shiva and now from Kokan about the success of Russian arms in Central and Eastern Asia, the enemy is also not with out some uneasiness, imagining that he sees our hand busy in the same quarter. We find the following letter in a German paper : ST. PitTERSBURG, Nov. B.—ln a letter received from Irkutsk, the opinion is expressed that English influence has been at work in the contest now going on in China, and upon the issue of which hangs the fate of the reign ing dynasty. The letter says also, that there is a report in circulation which gives out that Russia is on the point of interfering in China. But what can Russia do there ? Increase her territory, that is already too large? That can surely not be contemplated. We know, how ever, that our trade with China is a thorn in the side of England, and since the reigning dynasty has protected that trade, the rulers of the seas have no very great sympathy for the Maatshoo, but a great deal for the re bellious Tian-Pyu-Van. If some secretly acknowledged reciprocity did Rot exist, and which must sooner or later, according to circumstances, come to light, what else could induce the present leader of ,the insurrection to show such consideration for members of the Anglican Church ? As a neighbour, Russia, however, has a far greater interest in the events now taking place in China. It will not be amiss, therefore, to watch them with an attentive eye, and be prepared for all contingencies. BETU.RN OF LIEUTENANT PERRY TO WINDSOR. For the last fortnight a somewhat uneasy impression has existed among the contributors to the Perry Defence and Testimonial Fund in consequence of an advertise ment which appeared in the Times of November 5, from Mr. Bedborough, the treasurer of the fund, relative to Mr. Perry's having drawn a cheque for 1,5001. while in Paris, without first informing him (Mr. Bedborough) of his intention to do so ; and that, in consequence of this oversight or act of discourtesy, the petition to her Majesty, praying for a revision of the proceed. ings of the court-martial on Mr. Perry, would not be presented. This unexpected announcement not un naturally led to an impression that Mr. Perry had been guilty of something worse than discourtesy or ignorance of the rules of the commercial world. We are gratified now in being able to say that, finding correspond. ence was not likely to remove the misapprehension which existed as a personal interview, Mr. Perry left Paris on Monday, and came straight through to Wind sor, where he arrived yesterday at noon ; his first step was to call on his friend and adviser Mr. Darvill, to whom he fully explained the cause of his having wished to withdraw the sum in question from the bankers, and showed him that, so far from wanting the money to pay off any expenses occasioned by extravagance or folly, it was for the purpose of a safe and advantageous investment, producing a larger amount of interest than could be derived by remaining at the London bankers'. Mr. Perry then, accompanied by Mr. Darvill, proceeded to call upon Mr. Bedborougb, to whom he also entered into a full and satisfactory explanation, apologising, we are informed, in the frankest manner to Mr. Bedborough for his unintentional lack of courtesy. Mr. Perry has also expressed his perfect willingness that the securities of this investment shall remain jointly in the hands of Mr. Bedborough and M r. Darvill, as proof that the inte rest thereon will be applied to his benefit, according to the evident wishes of the numerous kind friends and contributors to the Defence and Testimonial Fund. It should, perhaps, be added, that Mr. Perry went abroad partly for the restoration of his health after the termina tion of the court-martial, but still more, that he might have the power of going in public without being subject to the imputation of seeking to make a martyr of him self. In Paris, we learn, he met with friends, through whose instrumentality he has been pot in a way . of pur suing an honourable civil career, which at once places him in comparative comfort. As a proof that these are things not to be taken on his me re assertion, Mr. Perry has placed it in the power of Mr. Bedborough and Mr. Darvill to test the accuracy of his statements, and has further, in writing, empowered those . gentlemen if they fins his conduct, since the terunnatien of the court-mar tial, to have disentitled him to the sympathy of the pub lic, to hand over the whole of the money in the hands of the bankers to the Royal Patriotic Fund. ti s ct ed s e o d t ßT htha e at z t T t Sheriff railway op e RAILWAYnand companiesCA Logan f s s.( shuto f— Dunde e The rfa rsh ir e)h Courierad just gatekeepersds t e a i c g ar a e tes no a t t b le o v u e n l d nr t n o ss k in ee g p s over public bridle roads. REPRESENTATION OF MARYLEBONN.—Ii consequence of the death of Lord Dudley Contts Stuart, a nseeting of gentlemen residing in the parish of St. Pancras was held in the vestry-hall, Old St. Pancras-road, for the purpose of considering the best step to be taken to secure a suitable person t o represent this and the other sec tions of the borough in the House of Oommens. Mr. Farrer, the senior churchwarden, having taken the chair, Mr. Stockton said it was a matter of the greatest im portance that no time should be lost in fixin upon a suitable successor. Many persons had been s g uggested, among the rest Sir Georg e Hamilton Seymour, who had so distinguished himself in his diplomatic position at the court of Russia. He begged leave to move that a de putation be appointed to wait upon Sir G. H. Seymour with a view to obta inin g that gentleman s consent to be put in nominatio n. Mr. Mannoch seconded the motion. A more influentia l or talented representative they could n gniorteandaivwe a hi g h honours for his wise and independent have Sir G. H.

(Hear, hear.) He was not loss the friend to suffering humanity wherever he found it, and the noble lord, though frequently imposed upon, was never known to refuse assistance where he deemed it was deserved. It was to be desired that whatever might be the talent of the successor to his lordship, that he would possess as kind a heart. (Hear.) Mr. Turner would not deny the ability of Sir Hamilton Seymour as a diplomatist, but he was not so sure that be was the fittest person to represent Marylebono ; be would suggest in preference another Hamilton, be meant Sir John James Hamilton, Bart., who, it would be recol lected, came before them as a candidat e some years ago. Mr. Turner's suggestion not meeting with a response, the motion was put and carried, Mr. Turner being the only dissentient. Mr. W. D. Cooper and Mr. Stockton were deputed to wait on Sir G. H.
