MONEY. MARKET AND . COMMEJ.eCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The Baits of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were eV:in:Abed at 10,000 bales, including 3,500 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed with a hardening tendency— American 1-16 d. dearer, and other sorts well main te.ined, but not higher. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 100 Pernam and Maranham at sgd. to sid., 200 Egyptian at 6d. to 10d., 1,200 Surat at 3d. to 4-id., and 100 Sea Island at is. to Is. 3d. per lb. Railway Shares were dull. The Board of Trade returns for the month, to the sth inst., give the total exports at 8,783,7141., being an increase of 456,6281. over September, 1853, when, however, the unenumerated articles were not included ; consequently there is no doubt a decrease. In the silk market during the past month, ac cording to the report of Mr. Henry W. Eaton, the movement was as follows : " In advising you that the next public sales are fixed to commence on Tuesday, the 24th instant, it is satis factory to be able to report a decidedly improved feeling in the silk market. In Chinas a considerable business Las been done during last month, resulting in a slight advance in good third to best silk, and an increased firmness in other qualities. The accounts from China received this morning fully confirm the reported short settlements of new silk, which are stated to be under 2,000 bales against about 12,000 bales at the same period last year. The second crop is also said to be under an average one, and of inferior quality. " The certainty that the imports will be thus de layed, and the continued large deliveries, seem to have imparted renewed confidence among consumers both here and abroad, and a good current trade may I think be expected at present, or perhaps slightly improved, rates. In Bengals there is little alteration to notice. There has been rather more inquiry, but nothing to establish any alteration. In Brutia silk there has been nothing doing, but in Persians a few parcels have changed hands from Bs. 3d. to 10s. The stock of the former consists of about 20 bales, and of the latter 1,300 ballots. The Italian market remains quiet." The Jamaica accounts brought by the steamer Magdalena, which has on board 900,000 dols. in specie, mention that the Legislature would be dis solved on the 3d inst. The Island notes had reached par, owing to the expectation that they l i would be redeemed at an early date by the arrival of coin from this country for the purpose. The Board of Emigration has been devising plans for the procuration of labour. From the other islands the agricultural advices are mostly favour able, especially Barbadoes, which appears to be in a very flourishing condition. The cholera in Gre nada appears to have swept off about one-tenth of the entire population, but happily the malady was on the decline. At St. Lucia, however, its ravages were great. 812 s St. The Foreign Exchanges were rather firmer again yesterday afternoon. The demand for gold has fallen off, and a large amount of the recent arrivals has been sent into the Bank of England. The amount of specie taken out by the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Company's vessel Candia to India, China, &c., to-day, was 90,466 L, of which 61,2641. is in silver, for Madras, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canton, and Shanghai, and 29,2021. for Alexandria, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The Collimate of Mexican Bondholders have re ceived letters dated the 2d and sth ult. from the city of Mexico. In these there is nothing definite, but the agent expresses a hope that he should get another dividend. The remittance for the dividend would have been larger but for the want of hard dollars. The Committee memorialised Earl Cla rendon a short time back, and the result was the sanding of instructions to the British Minister at Mexico strongly to urge upon General Santa Anna the claims of the creditors. The Panama papers received by the Magdalena steamer state that there was a report of General Echenique being taken prisoner by General Cas tillo. This does not appear improbable, seeing that the Lima papers mention the retreat of Echenique after the action at Zyeuchoca, where he was worsted. If President Echenique has been captured, there is no doubt that the bondholders will soon be able to get a satisfactory arrangement of their claims from Castillo. St. 10 St. 25 The English Funds have been very weak this morning, and a pressure of money stock is still spoken of. The comparatively high prices, and some little disappointment that an immediate rise did not occur upon the taking of Sebastopol, pro )(Ably occasioned this ; but if money gets easier and confidence stronger, as it should do, there will probably be an advance, admitting even that Consols are already at an elevated point, con sidering the war and the present heavy expen diture upon us all, however, it is hoped, to be repaid sooner or later by the enemy. Consols have been 954 and 95i to ±, for Transfer, while for Account they are 95i Exchequer Bills have been ss. to Bs. premium. `The Bonds are at par. In the Foreign market there has been much greater activity. Mexican Bonds, which touched at 251, iave been done since at 24' 1 . The remittance for Che dividend is 27,000 dollars. Peruvian Stock "has been quoted 71 to 73. Brazilian Old Bonds have lbeen done at 99 ex dividend. Portuguese 4 per Cents. have been at 41. Spanish 3 per Cents. have 'been at 48, and the Deferred at 181. The Turkish scrip has varied from 3/ to 3i premium. Dutch 28 per Cents. have been at 62. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 to 61 ; Mexican, 241 to 251 ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto .4-1- per Cents., 87 to 89 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18 to 181 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 374 to 38 ; ditto C lertificates, 5 to sis ; ditto Passive, 4 to 44. The Railway Share Market has been unsteady, bi at prices are rather better in a few instances. T. lie Norfolk, South Wales, Great Northern, and L incashire and Yorkshire, have been in request. G mat Western are flatter. The foreign lines have • 3en quiet. In the mines there have been a few bargains, t] ie banks are firm, and there is more doing at full rates in the docks, Crystal Palace, and muted's.- ..) sous shares.

REPRESENTATION OF FROME.—Mr. Donald Nicoll, the rate sheriff, and one of the Middlesex magistrates, has issued an address, soliciting the suffrages of the electors of this borough. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. p er wince for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.094 ; amd, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.10, it follows that gold is about the same price in Paris and London. By advices from Hamburg, the price of gold is 4244 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Ad. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.4 i ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.4 i, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America be ing 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour,of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a profit pa the im ports ti of gold from theyaited 1100 8 Aberdeen Nottng Bost andEastn.

( From the Manchester (Mardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Oct. 3.—The Manchester market has been influenced by the splendid success of the allies on the heights of Alma. An improved spirit has prevailed. The buyers of yarns would operate rather freely at the prices which were obtainable last week ; spinners, are, however, more difficult to deal with, generally adding id. per lb. to their previous quotations, and for some kinds obtaining that advance ; but, for the most part, buyers are not prepared to pay more, and the business of the day has consequently been restricted.- Still, some spinnings have been taken to a fair extent for home manufacture. The accounts from Calcutta being more favourable than they were expected to be, a, rather better demand for goods to that market has en sued ; and the low prices for shirtings, jacconets, &c., which were current last week, are no longer submitted to. In other cloths also there is more of firmness ' • but higher prices are not obtainable, and the amount of busi ness is inconsiderable. _ _ ROCHDALE, Oct. 2.—We have bad a steady demand for flannels, but not quite so brisk as it was on the pre vious week. There is little change in wool, either in price or derriand. HALIFAX, Sept. 30.—1 f any change can be noted in our Piece Hall to-day, we may say that rather more goods have been disposed of than for some weeks past, but the sales have not been extensive, and there is no amendment in prices. There is a moderately fair de mand for yarn, especially for shipping, but no improve. ment in the quotations. HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 3.—There has been little altera tion in the market to-day. A few of the manufacturers say they have sold more goods than for the last few weeks, but the prevailing feeling is that of quietness. RAILWAYS• Bedford and Bietchley Buckghamsh. Clydesdale Jc. E.

Good heavy qualities were in fair request, at full quotations, but low and middling kinds were rather dull, on former terms. Floating cargoes were firm, and quite as dear as last week. Barley, for grinding and distilling purposes, was in re quest, at the late advance. We bad a fair sale for malt, on former terms. The oat trade was dull, but beans and peas were in fair request.

The galliot referred to was bound for London. A public park was opened at Macclesfield on Monday. A portion of the land necessary for the purpose was provided by private subscriptions. The Marquis of West minster, as lord-lieutenant of Cheshire, and the Earl of Harrington, the owner of Gawsworth, a neighbouring village, assisted at the proceedings, which were attended by a vast body of the manufacturing population. THE BALTIC FLLET GOOD CUSTOMERS.—DANTZIC, Sept. 22.—The dealings here with the Baltic fleet have been very lucrative for certain mercantile houses and for many of the small tradesmen. Several shspowners, too, have made a good thing of it by carrying coal in their lighters to the fleet. The victuallers have reaped, how ever, the largest part of the golden harvest. Some idea may be formed of what the tradesmen have netted by the fact that one apothecary alone received an order from the French amounting to 5,000 francs, the principal item being sticking-plaster.— Cologne Gazette.

At a recent meeting of the Sydney Chamber of Com merce the chairman read a very voluminous report on the subject of Immigration. The document opens with an elaborate argument—demonstrative of the advan tages derived by the colony from the importation of labour. It then points out, at considerable length, the defects of the old and present system ; and, finally, pro ceeds to develope a new scheme, which is detailed as follows : " That every adult British subject residing in Great Britain or Ireland, and desirous of immigrating to this colony should, on presentation or transmission by post of a certificate of healthy, and of moral character to a commissioner to be appointed for that purpose, resident in London, receive from him a Permit to Emigrate' from any port in Great Britain or Ireland, in any ship or vessel possessed of the requisite qualifications under the British Passenger Act ; and that, on presentation of this permit to the Immigration Agent in Sydney, the emigrant, or the captain of the vessel to whom the per mit may be assigned (appendix C) presenting, such immi grant should be then entitled to receive in exchange for such permit a transferable remission order of the value of 201., available at the Colonial Treasury in payment of any land purchased at auction from the Government." The committee then detail the advantages of their pro posed system at considerable length, which are enume rated under the heads of simplicity, justice, economy, efficiency, and comprehensiveness. Justice.—The waste lands of this colony belong of right to the British nation, and it is but just that any British subject willing to avail himself by emigration of his interest in this right, should be allowed to do so on some such equitable principle as is here proposed. This view of the question does away entirely with the elee mosynary or pauper element which is at present so thoroughly blended with the emigration system. Let the honest emigrant understand that it is a privilege which he avails himself of, and he will have no feeling of degradation in applying for and using his permit to emigrate. The absence of this feeling will insure a better class of immigrants. Economy. —The Government is relieved from all monied consideration in regard to immigration. There is no necessity for borrowing money or incurring debt on debentures. An immigrant is landed in the colony, and simultaneously the Government undertake to con vey, when properly demanded, twenty acres of land. The Government incurs no further responsibility. The land must be purchased at the Government auction in the usual manner, and none of the usual forms or ar rangements on this subject are interfered with. Efficiency,—The chief foreign competitors for surplus British labour are North America on the one hand, and the Australian colonies on the other, either of which is capable 'of absorbing the whole available supply, and whichever of theta can bid highest will be sup plied at the expense of the other. Australia has some advantages over America in the allurement of the gold fields; but it labours under the disadvantage of the natural adversion to encounter so long a voyage. We may, however, fairly estimate that the allurement of the gold-diggings will counterbalance the adversion to the length of the voyage—leaving to Australia only to overcome the difficulty arising out of the difference be• tween the expense of the two voyages. Any system of emigration to this colony to be efficient must overcome this difficulty, and it is believed that it will be overcome by the system now suggested. It must be borne in mind that it is the pressure of poverty during commercial distress which chiefly induces emigration. The cheapest, or most easily available, escape from this pressure is generally accepted. The outfit will cost about the same to both places, but the difference will be in favour of America. The passage-money to America will be estimated at 41. If, therefore, a passage can he obtained for less than this sum Australia will have the preference, and not other wise. It is proposed that the remission order to be granted to the immigrant on arrival in the colony should be for a sum exceeding the value of a steerage passage to the colony by 10 per cent., to allow for the depre ciation in value arising from agency in negotiating and expense of remitting the proceeds back to Eng land, and also as a guarantee or insurance against death of the emigrant on the voyage ; and, if 10 per cent. is not sufficient for these purposes, a further allowance should be made. Your committee see no reason whatever for supposing that such permits would not be taken by shipowners in Britain (less the discount abovementioned) in payment of passage money. All respectable shipowners and ship pin.' agents trading to these culonies would have the fullest information from their agents here as to the nature and value of such documents, and their deprecia tion in England could only arise from a belief, emanat ing from hence, that they would not be marketable in the colony. Their market value in the colony, however, is so certain that any false belief of this sort would speedily be dissipated. So long as land is purchased from Government (and the greater the influx of immi gration the greater would be the demand for Govern ment land), so long will these orders be marketable here to pay fur such lai.d at the smallest depreciation of which the trouble connected with their negotiation can be estimated. Brokers would receive standing orders from capitalists to purchase as many as they could obtain at a discount of (say) 2A per cent., and to sell again at 1 per cent. ; and all pur chasers of Government in any considerable amount would pay in such orders in preference to money, if they could obtain them at a rate to save 1 per cent. on their purchases. Thus they will acquire a fixed value in the colony ; and the value being so fixed here will fix it also in Britain. . . _ The. permit to emigrate would, therefore, acquire a standard value at every shipping port in Great Britain equal to its amount, less commissions, colonial discount, exchange, and the estimated risk, or in.4irance against death during the voyage (which could be insured against and thus ascertained) ; all of which, it is estimated, would be covered by a deduction of 10 per cent. Your committee a•innot doubt, therefore, that this system would work efficiently in inducing a large influx of free and independent immigration. Persons resident in the colony desirous of bringing out their friends, and employers desirous of importing labour, by sending home the amount of the passage money, would not only obtain their necessary passages, but would obtain also the remission-orders on receipt of the immigrants here ; and thus farms would be pur chased simultaneously with the arrival of the labour in tended for their cultivation, and squatters would, in purchasing their homesteads, procure at the same time the labour necessary for their improvement ; but in practice even greater facilities would be given in such cases. The system is applicable to all classes willing to avail themselves of free passages ; not only to the free labourer groaning under poverty at home, and glad to escape from it to a land of plenty, but also to the small capi talist or yeoman, who may be able to pay the passage of his family ; and who, under this system, would re serve his remission-order for the purchase of a home stead on his arrival. This system will secure the con tinuous flow of immigration. WHITENVASTIING.—London is a dark place ; its narrow streets, high houses, and smoke-pall make its various apartments gloomy and cheerless. We obviate this somewhat by the expensive reflectors of Chappuis and others ; but much more might be done, and by very cheap means. Whitewashed boards, placed at an angle of 45 deg. in the areas of cellars, and against the win dows of many dark apartments, will strangely illuminate them, and make places clear as daylight which were otherwise quite dark. Much also might be done by the very simple and cleanly process of whitewashing the backs of all houses. These very often in the City form irregular quadrangles, which, if whitewashed all round once a year, would add much to the cheerfulness and lightsomeness of places that are now gloomy and miser able enough; at the cost of a few shillings the daylight might be extended an hour in every twenty-four.—The Builder. ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR THE EARLDOM OF PERTH.— Another claimant for this peerage has emerged in the person of a pitman's son, who styles himself Thomas Drummond, of Biddick, county of Durham, grandson and heir-male of James Drummond, sixth earl of Perth. He has issued a circular to the " nobility, clergy, and gentry of England and Scotland." LOLA MONTES.—This well-known personage has be come a bona fide Californian settler, and seems as con tented in Grass Valley as if she had lived there her life time. She has become quite an explorer, forming parties, and penetrating through the prairies and over the mountains hundreds of miles. She returned a few weeks since from an excursion to the Truckee Meadow, and had a narrow escape from being captured by the Indians. SUPPRESSION OF IMPROPER HOUSES.—An influential committee has been formed at the went-and of the town, under the auspices of the Earl of Carnarvon, for the pur pose of suppressing some infamous places in the neigh bourhood of Hanover-square and surrounding streets, which have for a length of time been carried on with im punity. A vigorous effort will be made to put a stop to the existing evil. The " Society for the Protection of young Females" have undertaken to assist the commit tee. Many cases have already claimed and received attention, and every legal and other measures will be adopted to close those dens of infamy by compelling the keeper. to Atomic% their ugari?ux traxo, OOMPA.RATIVE POWER OF ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. The Trieste Journal of September 27 exhibits a wonderful change of opinions and language, as will be seen by the following article. Events in the Crimea have opened the editor's (and doubtless the Emperor's) eyes. We have recently directed attention to a numbei of fallacious calculations, which have materially contributed to bring about the present state of affairs. The false data upon which these calculations are based have for the most part been supplied by Russia, for the errors made by this power are the reason why the whole situa tion has been formed in the manner it is, such as no one desired, and Russia herself least of all. It is a misfor tune of despotic governments—one that is constantly recurring, and yet never steered clear of—that they are not capable of appreciating the power of spiritual forces. All autocrats, from Xerxes downwards, have treated men merely as masses ; they have never taken into their consideration what a people can do, where each indivi dual has the conscious feeling that he himself is a party concerned when all are concerned. Greece in olden and England in modern times have furnished examples of this. The islands, with about seventeen millions of men, not to speak of Ireland, withstood the autocracy of Napoleon when he ruled the world. The undis ciplined crowds of Spain put to shame the victors of Austerlitz and Friedland. Whoever challenges Eng land to the contest must know that lie has to do with every Englishman, and that the last penny with the last man will have to disappear before England ca❑ yield. England regards every war as one of defence; for, strictly defined in her European territorial extent, she fears the aggrandisement of every power besides her own, were it only by a few miles. More especi ally does she fear it when such territorial increase includes fluvial and littoral districts, since on •very reach of coast ships may perchance be built to destroy the might of Albion. England's existence requires free movement in trade ; and, whore any power that favours the prohibitive system enlarges itself England feels herself straitened. Every Englishman knows, too, that the prosperity of his country and his own advantage are thereby menaced. They should have known at St. Petersburg this spirit of the English nation —they should have comprehended it ; heavily do they feel there now what weight a nation has whose whole spiritual tenison can be embodied in the field. No one will deny the influence which its press exercises on Eng land itself—a means, an instrument, that can in vain be replaced by the enthusiasm of Russian priests. In like degree no one can deny the influence that this same press exercises on the public opinion of entire Europe, which in the end no government can ignore. Only in England could documents like those that contained the conversa tions of the Czar with Sir H. Seymour be published. Queen Victoria may, so soon as peace shall have been restored, become again good friends with the Emperor Nicholas, yet those documents injured him more than a lost battle. Russia deemed her territory unassailable, but the Czar had not computed the means which the advance of sci entific knowledge and the improvements in navigation had rendered available. Not merely steam-power, but the application of the motive powers in general, has re ceived such extension, that at this day an army of 100,000 men can be thrown on the coast of the Crimea. The domain of the mathematical sciences is no secret, and an insight into them is equally open to the Russian as to the Briton or Frenchman. They can study me chanics at St. Petersburg with as much success as any where else in the world ; yet they may summon as many good professors from all the corners of the earth as they please ; they may encourage as many foreign architects as they like. There foreign savans may deliver splendid lectures, produce a few scholars, or a few machines, to rival any in Manchester or Birmingham. But ever advancing improvements aro conditioned by continual progress. The spring of the mind must always be kept in tenison, be the nation what it may. The zealous rivalry, the free movement, the space for free activity, the space which animates specula tion, must all excite capital, urge on mental and bodily labour, in order that the mind of the people may train itself universally as well as individually, so as to mark every sign given by nature and her laws, so as to subject every difficulty that inert matter presents, and kvhich progressive mind alone subjugates. Where the mental power is forced, as it were, to stand in a tight shoe, like a Chinese foot, in order that it may have no room to stretch itself, it can only set in motion a poor knock-kneed body. In such a case, a certain portion of knowledge is melted out to each caste, where the close guild-and-corporation spirit clogs work and its activity, capital and its employment—where narrow minded trade laws impound restless industry, the key to the pound being kept by jacks in office, who open the gate through favour and caprice. In such a country the progress, which depends on the mathematical and physi cal sciences, will always limp. Create as many mathe mathical schools as it may, call into being as many poly technical institutes as it chooses, St. Petersburg for all that will never be the spot where an Archimedes, or a Newton, or aLa Place can thrive. Even if successful in producing men of consequence to render the mind of the nation practical, to make it perceptive, ingenious, and inventive, is what no Russian system can do, nor any system like it. Now power by sea so much depends on this national mind, that it constantly increases in exact ratio to the growth of the latter, and becomes most intense among those nations where the mind attains its greatetir development, be the historic period what it inay. Herein lies the mystery why the fleets of Russia cower behind granite walls, while the English and French are bold enough to launch their tens of thousands of land soldiers across the sea on the Russian coast. This ex pedition may succeed or it mayf ail—it still remains a proof what nations can achieve where the industrial spirit of enterprise, not being imprisoned, wings its flight, anti converts seas into mainland. The old proverb still proves itself true : " The folk that do by sea command Have on all shores the stronger hand." DEATH OF MRS. WARNER. The severe suffering and lingering illness of Mrs. War ner terminated in her death on Sunday week; her secession from professional duties, the aid refused her in her need by the Drury Lane fund, the charitable conduct of her Majesty who placed a carriage at her disposal, when she needed the benefit of the air, and could not undergo the fatigue of exercise, are still fresh in the public mind. The recent demonstration of popular sympathy which took place on the occasion of hor benefit must have beon grati fying to her in the last moments of her existence, and must have proved the fact that the publicis not unmindful of those who ha7o laboured zealously in its service, and afforded it gratification. Mrs. Warner was one of the principal artistes of the period which posterity will connect with the name of Macready. Her debut on the London stage occurred some time before that gentleman undertook the management of Covent Garden Theatre, and in the earlier part of her career she " created" the principal female parts in the Wrecker's Daughter and the Bridal. But it was at Covent Garden and Drury Lane, at the time when Mr. Macready laudably advanced to restore the ancient sites of the drama to their old dignity, that she took her fixed position as the chief actress of the matronly, or with the non-juvenile line of tragedy. Like Mr. Pholpe, also a member of the Macready companies, she was evidently impressed by the example of her great director, and when Mr. Macready had given up the vain endeavour to settle the poetical drama in its proper home, it was under the joint management of Mrs. Warner and Mr. Phelps that Sadler's Wells was placed on its present respectable footing. After quitting the banks of ,the New River, Mrs. Warner endeavoured to apply the same principle of management—the principle of making the poetical drama attractive by means of elabo rate decoration to the Marylebone Theatre, but the per fumed lion of civilisation was repelled by that remote dis trict. On concluding the thankless task of improving the most " out-of-the-way" of London houses, she devoted herself to " star-engagements," both in this country and in America, and continued these till the fatal indisposi tion to which she has recently fallen a victim put an end to her professional exertions. The great forte of Mrs. Warner was the representation of tragedy in its sterner and more dignified aspect. For this, her stately figure, and her handsome, though strongly marked, countenance was admirably adapted. Few who have seen her as Evadne, in the disagreeable play of the Bridal, can forget the sublimity of defiance with which she eyed the luckless bridegroom, and made vice itself look dignified from the determination by which it was ac companied. The softer emotions she did not often depict; and though Hermoine, in the Winter's Tale, was one of her most striking parts, it was the truly sculptured feeling with which she represented the supposed statue in the last act that left the deepest im pression on her mind. Carefulness in study, and intelligence in apprehending her parts, marked her career throughout, and had there been a permanent company of the higher kind at any London theatre, there is no doubt she would always have held her place in the troop as a respected and indispensable member. She had one drawback, and that was the harshness of her voice, which gave too masculine a tone even to the stern charac ters in which she was most distinguished. In private life she was universally esteemed, and the members of the theatrical profession will long recollect the great contrast that existed between the terrible passions she depicted on the stage, and her uniform mildness and amiability when the mimic storm had passed. Mrs. Warner's maiden name was Huddart, and she was of Irish parentage, though born in Manchester ; hermf Co.,h was a partner in the firm of Jenkins, Huddart, I a coun wholesale chemists in Dublin ; he was also commonM.

The first metropolit an appear ance of Miss Huddart was at Drury Lane, under the di rection of Mr. Alex. Leo and Capt. Polhill ; she then re turned to the provinces, and re-appeared in 1836 under t h e m anagement of Mr. Mil, playing v a ri o us Shake sperian characters in conjunction with Mr. Forrest ; it was at this period that she made a success as Marian, in Mr. Sheridan Knowles's unsuccessful play of The Wrecker's Daughte r . The Haymarket was the next theatre at which Miss Huddart was engaged, and here she distinguished herself by her performance of the part of Evadne, in The Bridal. At the termination of this season she married Mr. Warner. In October of this year Mrs. Warner was engaged at Covent Garden by Mr. Macready, and was to have performed in the late Serjeant Talfourd's play of The Athenian Captive, but was prevented by the birth of her first child. The late distinguished author, in the preface to this play, in the collected edition of his tragedies, thus alludes to the subject :—" The rep:viten , tatio4 of thiA at Connt Gorda, Theatre vented by the occurrence of an event `untoward' as re= garded the hopes of the author—an addition to the family of Mrs. Warner, who had prepared to represent Ismene. It was subsequently produced at the Haymarket Theatre, under the management of Mr. Webster ; and, notwith standing the diminution of interest caused by its previous publication, was rendered more successful by the powers of Mr. Macready and Mrs. Warner than I had ventured to anticipate, even when I expected that they would be supported by Miss Helen Faucitt and Mr. Anderson." Mrs. Warner then returned to Covent Garden, where she remained during Mr. Macready's management ; eke afterwards was engaged by Mr. Webster, during two seasons, at the Haymarket Theatre. When the former undertook Drury Lane Theatre, Mrs. Warner shared the first business with Miss Helen Faucitt. In 1844 she joined with Mr. Phelps and lir. Greenwood in the management of Sadler's Wells Theatre, the establishment of which, as a legitimate ions. partly owing to her ability and eert this s season she played Lady Macbeth, x theatre, Dnring w Gertrude, Evadne, Constance, Margaret of Anjou, and Hermione. The partnership being dissolved, led Mrs. Warner, subsequently, to undertake the direction of the Marylebone, which opened oil the 3Jth of September, 1847, with The Wintcr's Tale—she also appeared about this time as Julia, Lady Teazle, Mts. Oakley, and Lady Town ley. In November of this year, Mrs. Warner revived The Scornful Lady, by Beaumont and Fletcher, altered to suit the taste of the day by Mr. Serie; the drama was produced with the u tmost , care and attentionto the minutest details. In 1.43, Mrs. Warner ap peared in her original character i n The 11 , reker's Daugh ter, and in April revived The Double Marriage, another play by Beaumont and Fletcher, also adapted by Mr. Serle. Mrs. Warner's management then concluded, and its termination was distinguished by the performances of Mr. Macready. In the provinces, and at the Haymarket Theatre, the energetic actress continued her career, and assisted in producing the éclat, which signalised Mr. Mac ready's farewell representations. Her subsequent profes sional tour in America was shortened in a lamentable man ner, by the illness which ultimately proved fatal ; she was first attacked during a performance, and on learning the nature of the disease immediately returned to England to secure the best advice. This, however, unhappily availed nothing, and all attempts to alleviate the sufferings of the amiable lady were ineffectual.—Musical Transcript. RAIL.IVAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. The adjouinal:meeting of this company was hell yes• terday at the offices, York-road ; Mr. W. J. Chaplin, M.P., in the chair. Mr. Crombie, the secretary, read the resolution ad journing the meeting from that place on the 16th of august to the 19th of September, at the Law Institu tion, Chancery-lane, then to proceed with the scrutiny, and on the 3,1 of Oct.ber to declare the state of the poll on the question of electing a director. Mr. Willcox, M.P., and Mr. W. P. Snell were the candidates. The CHAIRMAN entered into an explanation of their proceedings since the last meeting, which was held there on the 16th of August. The scrutineers met the Hon. Mr. Denman, as legal assessor, himself, and some of the directors and shareholders on the 19th of Septem ber, at the Law Institution. Mr. Snell appeared with his solicitor ; Mr. Willcox did not attend, but was re presented by his legal adviser, feeling at the time that Mr. Snell wvs anxious to claim an investigation, and. that all the necessary explanations would be given. On the 19th it was proposed to hear a statement from Mr. Snell ; at first he appeared ready to proceed, but on further consideration it was agreed to give him a few days to prepare, and the meeting was adjourned to Fri day, the 22d of September, when it was understood he was to be examined and to explain everything. The assessor was unable to attend on that occasion ; they could not, therefore, proceed with the business, and the meeting was adjourned to the 29th of September. They had had no notice of the change that had taken place on the part of Mr. Snell, who refused at the time appointed to give evidence or to explain anything with regard to the matter in dispute. The solicitor for Mr. Willcox, in consequence of that refusal, withdrew from the scrutiny, and the matter ended. That being the state of things, the whole was in so confused and unsatisfactory a state that lie (the chairman) could not come to any decision on the votes or make any declaration on the state of the poll. It therefore was not his intention at present to make any declaration on the subject. Mr. MAYNARD said he appeared there as a share holder in the company to assist Mr. Snell in the discus sion of the question. He disapproved the course adopted by the chairman, and entered ably at considerable length into several matters connected with the state of the proxies, and technical matters relating to them. He con tended that the scrutineers had nothing to do with pre liminary matters ; they were merely the agents of the candidates, and it was their duty to examine the votes, disallowing those that were objectionable, and to report on the result of the scrutiny. He censured the obser vations made in the report of Mr. Saintsbury, one of the scrutineers, and defended Mr. Snell from the impu tations contained therein, Ile had taken the responsi bility of advising Mr. Snell not to submit to an exami nation before such a tribunal. They had no right to call on Mr. Snell for explanations. A large majority of the votes were in favour of Mr. Snell, after deducting all those objected to on the part of Mr. Willcox. They had only to strike off the votes that had been objected to, and declare the result of the poll. The proxies ob jected to were bad, but he did not consider that the cir cumstance arose from any want of integrity, but from a want of judgment on the part of Mr. Snell in carrying out the express wish of the shareholders ; and, as the objectionable proxies were withdrawn, there was an end of them. The proper course was to declare the state of the poll, and, should the shareholders think an inquiry necessary, that would form a separate and distinct mat ter, but they had nothing whatever to do with any other matter at present than the state of the poll, which would show a large majority in favour of the election of Mr. Snell. The CHAIRMAN said they only required a fair inquiry into the votes before declaring the state of the poll. Mr. SAINTSBURY went into a variety of details in de fence of his report as one of the scrutineers, and con tended, as a shareholder in the company, that it was necessary an investigation should take place before de claring the state of the poll. Mr. TITE considered it more a question of character than of law, and he hoped Mr. Snell would follow the course pointed out by his friends, and relinquish that recommended by his legal advisers. Colonel LIIARD, a director, said he had voted for Mr. .Snell, believing that he was a suitable person to sit at the board. He (Colonel Luard) did not think that any objection was offered as to the majority of votes being in favour of Mr. Snell, but he held it of importance, and that it was necessary that certain matters with regard to the 14 proxies that had been withdrawn should be satisfactorily explained before electing him to a seat at the board. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which it was contended at one side that the poll ought to be de clared at once, while the other maintained that an in quiry into all the matters in dispute should be insti tuted ; that there was no hurry in the matter ; and that Mr. Snell should have plenty of time to explain matters which his legal advisers contended had nothing to do with the question of declaring the state of the poll in his favour. Mr. Serjeaut GASELLEE, a director, said he hoped Mr. Snell's friends would advise him to have an investiga tion into the whole matter, Mr. A. BEATTIE thought the scrutineer had a right to object to anything irregular, and not to let it slip. They were bound to look at it in a moral point of view, notwithstanding what the legal gentlemen had said. Mr. PUNCHER, as scrutineer, demanded the election of Mr. Snell to a seat at the board. The House of Com mons was a good precedent for the company to follow, and in doing so they should first declare the state of the poll, and if any inquiry should be thought neoessary it should be instituted afterwards. He concluded by de manding of the chairman to declare the state of the poll according to his (Mr. Puncher's) account. The CHAIRMAN said that he should have been pre pared to do so were it not for the decision come to by Mr. Snell and his legal advisers. He (the chairman) did not feel that he was in a position to declare the state of the poll, and in that view he was supported by the majority of his colleagues. Mr. Serjeant GASRLEE considered that the question was of vital importance to Mr. Snell, an regretted that he (Mr. Snell) did not take the prope d r course to not in a position to declare the poll, and if Mr. Snell clear himself.
