CA .1% Alio A AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. T ♦`‘. Ile CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export and on speculation. The market a was very flat, and closed heavily, with a great quantity of cotton offering. Railway Shares were 5° 13 heavy. The arrivals of ships in the Thames yesterday cmprised thirty-three from foreign parts, and three colliers. The alterations in the Bank of England liabili ties during the week to the 18th inst. were not of an unfavourable character generally. The decrease in the bullion was comparatively small, and the Government account looks better, in consequence, probably, of the arrangement made for disposing of Exchequer Bonds to the, Savings' Banks Commis sioners. The balances of private depositors were trenched upon, and this was due, no doubt, to the increased demand for gold for ex portation. The increased amount paid into the Government account acted in dimi nishing the circulation, and strengthened the reserve of notes in the Banking lepartment. Com pared with the previous return the changes in the various items were as follows : Active circulation £19,828,270 Decrease Bullion 13,494,784 Decrease 85,011 Rest Increase 6,292 Public Deposits 4,465,918 Increase 940,341 Other Deposits Decrease 558,329 Seven-Day and other Bills Decrease . 44,219 Government Securities 11,429,871 increase 16,855 E Other Securities 13,850,566 Decrease Netes unemployed 7,024,150 Increase 313,805 In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday there were some alterations. Paris, Antwerp, and Trieste, were a shade higher. Paris, 90 days, 25 30 to 35, Trieste 13 to 13 10. Hansburgh was weaker, teing 13 6to G. Amsterdam was 11 17 to 173, and lerankfort 118 to 1181. 40 There is not quite so much demand for gold. p The sums per Ballarat have been nearly all pur- s t . chased for the continent. The dollars per Tamar 812 s have been sold at id. advance, ♦iz., ss. OW. per ounce. The amount of bills drawn here by the Hon. East India Company, from the 9th to the 24th inst., on the several presidencies, was 65,0121. IGs. Bd. The estate of Messrs. M'Henry and Co. shows a dividend of about 3s. in the pound, although ls. 6d. only appears on the face of the accounts. The exports of specie direct from London during the week to Thursday last comprised 155,235 ounces of silver and 1,780 ounces of gold, all to the continent. The market for English Securities has been gain ing increased strength ; and while speculation is comparatively quiescent, there have been increased purchases for the first transfer day next week. Con sols have advanced to 92F to 924 for money, and are at the same values for account. The New 3 per Cents. have been done at 90i to 90k, and the Reduced at 90i to 90g.

Yesterday, at eight a.m., six divisions of the 18th regiment (Royal Irish) assembled on the general parade ground of Chatham Barracks, under command of Major Wigston, numbering 300 duty men. The muster of the regiment was in consequence of a telegraphic despatch having arrived at the headquarters, from the Horse. Guards, on Thursday afternoon, requiring the troops for duty at the palace, &c., and to occupy Wellington Bar racks. The troops were inspected, previous to taking their departure, by the colonel, Thomas S. Rignolds, C.B. The following officers went with them :—Capts. Lawrie, Hayman, and Kelly; Lieuts. Wood, Stacpoole, and Taylor; Ensigns Woolsey and Wigston. Major A. W. Campbell, who is now at Windsor with a detachment, is to take the command of the 18th in the barracks, Bird-cage-walk, London. This morning they mounted guard at Buckingham Palace. A large Lumber of persons also collected at the Horse Guards to witness them relieving the Grenadiers doing duty there. Yesterday was a day of great activity at Woolwich. Long before the dawn of the morning Captain Camp bell's company, sth battalion Royal Artillery, assembled in marching order, and, headed by the band of the re giment, marched at six o'clock a.m. from the garrison to the Dockyard station of the North Kent Railway Sta tion, and proceeded thence to London en route to Liver pool, where the comp any is to embark in the Niagara for the seat of war in the East. The band returned to the garrison, and at seven o'clock played Capt. Wragge's company, 6th battalion, to the Arsenal station of the same railway, and' they proceeded thence to London, en route to Southampton, where they are to embark in the Tamar for a passage to the Crimea. Major Crofton's company, 7th battalion, expects to leave Woolvici this n torning, or on Monday, for the seat of war. These seven companies now on their way to the East will afford a glorious relief to their hitherto hard-worked comrades, now before Sebastopol, as the seven companies contain a total of 1,050 officers, non commissioned officers, and gunners, all practically ac quainted with the duties of artillerymen, and the effi cient working of the largest siege guns. Six other companies were yesterday placed under orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark on the shortest notice for the seat of war, and eight com panies more are ordered from the home stations to re turn to head-quarters, to► prepare for active service in the Crimea. Captain King, Royal :Engineers, with the company of Royal Sappers and Misters under his command, left their barracks at eight a,m, yesterday for the Arsenal station, headed by the brass band, and proceeded to London, en route to Portsmouth, where they are to em bark in the Royal Albert for the Crimea. Fifty gunners and drivers arrived at Sheerness to re inforce the garrison yesterday from Woolwich. The re cruiting party, wider Captain Cannon, of the Royal Artillery, here have, di taring the present month, suc ceeded in procuring a nu' nber of fine young men for the regiment. We are sorry to state that small-pox of a virulent nature has brokcn out in the military hospital here ; there has been one death, and ten men are at pre sent under treatment in bspital, several of whom are in a very precarious state.. Every necessary precaution to prevent the spread of this dreadful disease is being taken by the Colonel-Con tu tandant, Capt. Cannon, &c. Soven of the senior engi n eer officers at Chatham are under orders for the servi, r e of their corps. The second company of the Royal Sal ppers and Miners, commanded by Captain Frederick Will iarit King, R.N., have received orders to prepare for sary ice in the Crimea. Yesterday morning the , 'reserve battalion of the 71st Highlanders, numbering about 500 rank and file, left the Canterbury barracks an d proceeded to Portsmouth, where they aro to embark for the East. They were loudly cheered as they pas sed through the streets on their road to the railway sti ‘tion. There are at present in L eed• recruiting parties from the 2d Dragoon Guards, GUI Dragoons, 13th Light Dra goons, 16th Lancers, Scots: Fusilier Guards, Royal Ma rines, Royal Artillery, Ed,. 7th, 28th, 66th, 67th, and 94th Regiments of the line, ;tnd from the 2d, 3d, and 4th West York Militia Regia nt rats. At no period during the present century has volunteering been more brisk in this town, and every fi-t ;sh report of an engagement seems to add new excitement to the martial spirit of our young nen. During the u ionth ended the 23d billets were issued for no less an 246 recruits, of which 70 were for the last week. TI its is, of course, exclusive of those continually enrolling . front the militia regiments. Yesterday the 54th Reg invent of Foot, composed of 640 men, arrived at Liver pool from Lancaster, where they had halted during the night, having left Glasgow •n Thursday morning. r. 0 iey had only been stationed in Glasgow five weeks, previous to which time they had been for nine years on service in Canada and various foreign stations, includin ; the West Lilies and Gibral tar, They were accomp , a,nied by 50 women and 80 children, and were coven in nded by Lieutenant-Colonel Moore, besides whom the r*s were the following officers : —Adjutant Lake ; Majoro Moffatt and Smith ; Captains Jones, Giihain, Fairfowlr; Thompson, Brett, Miller, Mathias, and Sweetman ; :Lieutenants Ramsey, Thomp son, Mansell, Hewson titokes, Clarke, O'Brien, and Shiffner ; Ensigns Fane,, Perry, Betham, Galbraith, White, and Parker ; Pay; luster Mariott, Quartermaster Hipkia, Drs. Grant and Firth. Soon after 1 o'clock they embarked en beard i ;he Cunard steamer Niagara. At a later period of the d. y a detachment of the Royal Artillery, composed of 15;0 men, arrived in the town from Woolwich, and were t also embarked on board the Niagara, which will pro coed to sea this morning to Gibraltar, where the 54th: will replace the 13th Regi ment, which proceeds limn ediately to the Crimea. On arriving at Gibraltar the Nis gara will disembark the 54th, and take on board the 13th. , with which and the artillery she will proceed direct to tl le Crimea. Yesterday morning a d.e tachesent of the 56th Regi ment, composed of 100 nu ,a, arrived at Liverpool, from Chatham, for the purpose c f being forwarded this morn ing to Dublin. Fifty gunners and drive r s arrived at Sheerness yester day from Woolwich, to mi . nforce that garrison. The Royal Mail Comp r ny's steam-ship Tamar, Capt. Rivett, left Southampto el this forenoon for the Black Sea, with the 66th Regi a nent, and 125 men of the 6th division of Royal Artiller y on board, under the command of Captain Wragge. Th a 66th Regiment will be landed at Gibraltar, to supply f place of one which will be taken on to the Crimea b y the Tamar. The Peninsular and ( )•fiental . Company's steam-ship Nubia will leave Southall t:pton this afternoon for Toulon. in the Royal barge, and was put on board the Royal Albert, under a royal salute and manned yards. Capt. Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart., received his illustrious visi tor, and presented the principal officers, after which the Prince was conducted " round the ship," with the noble proportions of which, and the comfortable and ample accommodation provided for the troops his Royal High ness expressed his sincere pleasure. After partaking of refreshments with Sir Thomas Pasley, the Prince left to re-embark in the Fairy, wishing his gallant entertainer and his truly royal ship God speed ; another salute thundered from her sides, her crew sprang up the shrouds and into the tops, the troops crowded her hul warks, and one hearty roar of cheers greeted his Royal Highness as he quitted her side on his return. The train left Gosport with the Prince about four o'clock. At 2.45 and 3.30 respectively the trains conveying the Sappers and Miners and the 71st arrived from their re spective quarters, and they entered the garrison and the dockyard under similar demonstrations to those which greeted the Guards who had embarked before them, and all were pat on board the Royal Albert by oic o'clock. Rear-Admiral Berkeley, senior naval Lord of the Admiralty, and a party of friends were present in the Vivid steamyacht duling, the enabarcation of the troops. The Royal Albert's complement of Royal Marines has been completed with one serjeant, one corporal, and five men of the divisional companies from Forton.

There can be no doubt as to the ultimate realisation of this scheme. The projectors are all men of capital and enterprise, and we believe the majority of the shareholders look rather to the certainty of prospective but permanent gains than to the fluctua tions of speculative gambling.'

A Madrid letter of the 20th says : " The Ministers have decidedly adopted the can didateship of M. Infante for the Presidency of the Cortes. They have also determined that on the definitive constitution of the Cortes, a proposition formally recognisin g th e monarchial form of Go vernment and the Queen shall be presented. It turns out to be true, contrary to what was said the other day, that General Espartero has received let ters from the English Ministers, congratulating him on his elevation and policy. Besides this, the statesmen of England have in their conferences with our representatives at London constantly de clared themselves in favour of Queen Isabella. In the Cortes to-day, General San Miguel announced that the deputation which had waited on the Queen had been received by her Majesty with her usual affability. A long discussion took place as to the admission of M. de los Heros, some deputies contending that his holding of the office of Intendant of the Palace disqualified him from sitting in Parliament. His election, however, was by 193 votes to 23 declared valid." LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TBIS DAY.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. NORTH BRITISH INSURANCE COMPANY V. LLOYD AND OTHERS. This was an action brought to recover 2,000/. on bills of exchange which the defendants had given to the plain tiffs, in part security for a loan of 10,000/. which they had advanced to Sir Thomas Branker, the Liverpool merchant. At the trial a verdict was found for the plaintiffs ; but it having come to the knowledge of the defendants that their bills were accepted in exchange for a bill which Mr. James Branker had given in the first instance, they applied for a new trial, on the ground that the plaintiffs ought to have disclosed to them the circumstance that their security was to release Mr. James Branker from his liability. The rule was argued at some length in the course of the term, and this morning the Court gave judgment, refusing the rule. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (Front the Mining Journal of this day.) MINES.—The market for mining shares has had an improved appearance this week, and in some mines a large amount of business has been transacted. Sortridge Consols, when we wrote our last, were 21. 17s. 6d. to 31. but sundenly improved to 31. 55., Si. 10s., and have throughout the week firmly maintained the price. North Roberts, 191. to 211., and have been considerably dealt in. South Tarnars have again fallen, and are mow quoted 71. to 71. 55. In Wheal Basset, agreat many shares have been sold at 5001. and 5101. per share, the market leaving off at 5101. to 5201., buyers. North Crofty, 81. 10s. to 9/. ; Trevelyan, 17s. 6d. to 1/. ; North Basset 201, 10s.

STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Nov. 24.—The Levant and Mediter ranean merchants, who have for some time been the most active buyers in this market, continue to be almost the only class from whom anything worth calling a regular demand is found to proceed. Through their operations, the lower counts of water twist remain steady in value, and extra hard twist extremely firm, while certain descriptions of T cloths, long cloths, and domestics, recede less than most other goods. In the finer printing cloths, also, but little concession is found. The general tendency to depression, however, becomes more marked. In yarns, the decline from the late high est prices may be broadly stated as varying from id. to id. per lb., according to the class quotee. ; and in the medium numbers of cops it is even more, as mueh as id. in cop twist. India goOds may be con sidered as having now fallen to 94d. per lb., at which price some business has been done. We hear of offers at the rate of 94d. • LEICESTER, Nov. 23.—Business remains much as re ported last week, with the addition of some further orders for the army (both French and British). We trust that this introduction of our manufactures to our neighbours and allies will be the commencement of a permanent trade, and that some encouraging arrange ments may be made by the French Government for the admission of British goods into their country, so as to lead to the increased prosperity and welfare of both nations. The dulness in the regular trade has caused a decline of jd. per lb. in most sorts of woollen material. NOTTINGH.6f, Nov. depression still exists in the lace and hosiery trades of the town and neighbour hood, without any apparent prospect of either trade being improved until the new year begins. The lace trade being more or less influenced by the caprice of fashion, it is difficult to foretell its probabilities long in advance. Cotton yarns for each trade are offered at different prices. WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front the- Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, Nov. 24.—W e have no change to report in the woollen trade since our last notice. The markets have been of a quiet character this week. There was an indifferent attendance of merchants in the Cloth. halls, both on Saturday and on Thursday ; a fiat feeling ruled in the market, and onlya limited business was done. At this season of the year there is seldom a very active business doing in the woollen trade. There is very little disposition to increase stocks when the year is drawing to a close. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 20.--We have no better account to give of the market to-day than previously. Business is, indeed, very fl a t, and work rather scarce. Some par ties, we understand, are working short time ; but the just in are felt m ore seriously in the vicinities t h an in the town. BRADFORD, Thursday. —Woo/—The demand is as dull as it can be ; and things are daily getting worse. Yarns — There have been several failures during the week, we regret to say ; and to save themselves from a similar doom, spinners are still obliged further to curtail pro ductions, limited as it has long been. Pieces.—Except for heavy winter goods, there is no regular business, and the prices even in this department are of a ruinous cha• ratter. Our condition is very gloomy. HALIFAX, Nov. 18. —W e can only repeat the old dull story—dulness prevails throughout the entire market, and but little is doing in either wool, yarn, er pieoes, and prices still s h ow a declining tendency. Middle wethers are quoted ls. per lb. The arrivals of wool from the growing districts are at p res ent very meagre. ROCHDALE, Monday. —As Christmas approaches the demand for flannel slackens, which is generally the case at this time of th e year, whether business has b een pre viously brisk or d ull. The wool market continues steady, tinues stedy, and th e manufactures buy as if they did not anticipate soon eith er a r i se or a f a ll i n th e ra w material. • On Wed nes d ay L or d an d L a d y Palmerston dined with M. Fould, Minister of State. Among the other guests invited were Lord and Lady Cowley, the Duke and Duchess of Cambac6res, Dl. Abbattucci, Marshal Vaillant, MM. Billault, Ducos, Fortoul, and Magne, M. and Mine. Troplong, the Count de Morny, M. Ba roche, General Count d'Ornano, Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers, Count and Countess Randon, MM. Rouher, Mocquhart, itc. On the previous day his Lord ship and Lady Palmerston dined with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, where a number of disinguished per sonages were also assembled. Ile is expected to return to London on Monday next. RECRUITING.—We understand that for a short thine back the recruiting parties stationed in Edinburgh (in eluding the 82d) have been raising recruits at the rate of between 50 and 60 per week. In Glasgow the num ber was 120 in one week, and 100 in another. MEXICAN DoLL.ans.—The small amount of Mexican dollars brought by the last West India steamer has been sold at 60ad., being an advance of ld. per ounce. The price of bar silver continues 610. per ounce. Captain Burgoyne, who landed at Southampton from the Nubia, immediately proceeded to Ryde, accompanied by a troop of friends. He carried the regimental colours of the Grenadier Guards at the furious charge of that regiment at the battle of tho Alma. The colour staff in his hand was struck three times by the enemy's shot, and he himself was wounded in the leg. A. grenadier sergeant cut out a piece of shot from his leg on the field of battle, and accompanied him home to England oa account of his helpless condition. ST. TROMAS.—Aki vices from §t. Thomas by the last West India mail give some partiuulars of the guano dis covery lately made in that vicinity at a spot called Avee, or Bird island, stated to belong to the Dutch Govern ment. The deposit was found by the master of an American ship, called the Kentucky, and th e quan tity is said to lee equal to 300,000 or 400,000 tons, while its quality approaches that of the Chincha islands. Two American vessels, the Kentucky and the Comery, were already taking cargoes from it, and they are said to have landed 50 men to occupy the place, and to drive off in• truders, with two pieces of cannon. If the estimates of quantity and quality should be realized, the value of the island will be very great, but the locality scarcely war rants an expectation of the deposits being -nearly equal to the Peruvian. Ayes island is one of the leeward I group of the West Indies, and lies between the 15th and 116th degrees of north latitude, and 63d and 64th degrees • of west longitude. THE ROir AL ALBILRT. His Royal Highness :Prince' Albert visited Ports mouth yesterday, to ire poet the screw three-decker Royal Albert, Captain Sii • Thomas Pasloy, prior to her departure to the seat of Nv ar in the Crimea, and to wit ness the embarcation of the reinforcements of Guards, &c., who take passage in • that noble ship. The Prince arrived is the Royal Clari mce.yard, Gosport, between 12 and 1 o'clock. by trai n from London, attended by Colonel the Hon. G. key and Captain Du Plat, Equerries, and was recei I ed with a Royal salute by her Majesty's ship Victory al e the Platform Battery. The officers in attendance at the Ciareece-yard were—Vice- ' Admiral Sir Thomas Co. rl Irene, K..C.8., Rear-Admiral Martin, Rear-Admiral G vartenay, Major. General Simp son, Major Dalgetty, M s ster-Attendan.t Davis, R.N., Mr. Storekeeper Pinhorn.. R.N., and a guard of honour. The Royal yacht Fairy, (litptain the lion. Joseph Den inns, was alongside, and at once conveyed the Prince anal staff to the Portsmourch side of the harbour, where she remained to await the arrival of the troops from the Portsmouth Railway-stati:.on. The first'portion of these, comprising 730 of the Gi cards (Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier), arrived at the station about one o'clock, and were met b3r the bands of the regiments in garrison, who, on their falling in, placed themselves at the head of the column re.d played them to the place of embarcation in the dock y and to the liveliest tunes and amid an ovation from the , populace such as had not been accorded to any of their .comrades . who had previously embaiked at this port. The greeting was most inde s'cribably enthusiastic, end business along the entire line of march was compl et sly suspended during the pas sage. One warm-hearted inhabitant (Mr. Antill, wine, spirit, and porteremercha tit, whose premises are con tiguous to the dockyard ,gi6tes) had all the drawers of his establishment employed he( 'revving pots of first-class stout, and handing them to the troo p s as the y defiled p ast his house to the dockyard, arel so admirably was this timed and managed that no sto p page took place, nor any con fusion in the ranks; and eve don't think a score of the whole of the Guards went, ~ vithout their hearty "pull" at the foaming cheer. On air iving at the dockyard another greeting awaited the gallant soldiers from the artisans of the establishment, mid they then drew up near the jetty of embarcation, a nd formed in divisions at close order for the Prince to in sweet them. His Royal High ness then, accompanied 1.1 Major-General Simpson and the staff, passed from right to left of each rank and minutely inspected them, :after which they filed oil on board the Sprightl,ed the Cometconvoyed out to, and the EcSpithead, ho steam tender, and tugs, a y re the Fairy, with the Prince and suite on board, attending the first vessel out to thead.

" . -ZN THE COMMAND IN THE PAGI7IC. As we anticipated yest€ rday Rear-Admiral Bruce has been appointed to succeed the late Rear-Admiral Price as Cammander-in-Chief is the Pacific. It is said he will leave in a few days, in the screw sloop Brisk, 15, Com mander Seymour. In Admiral Bruce's late and early gallant career we have a guarantee that whatever he undertakes he will thoroughly accomplish, and the country may confidently rely on his carrying out to a successful issue those mea sures so well and daringly planned by Admiral Price. The following is O'Byrne's epitome of the services of . 'Admiral Bruce :-" Henry William Bruce, born February 9, 1792, is third and only surviving son of the late Reverend Sir Henry Hervey Aston Bruce, Bart., by Letitia, daughter of the late Reverend Dr. Henry Barnard, granddaughter of W. Barnard, Bishop of Derry, and niece of Thos. Barnard, Bishop of Limerick. He is uncle of the present Henry Hervey Bruno, Bart. " This officer entered the navy towards the close of 1803, as a boy, on board the liuryalia. 86, Capt. Hoa. Henry Blackwood, and on Oct. 21, 1805, was present, as midshipman, at the Battle of Trafalgar. In 1806 he joined the Ajax, 74, commanded by the same offioer, and on her destruction by fire off the Dardanelles, Feb. 14, 1807, became attached to the Endymion, 40, Captain Hon. Thomas Bladen Capel, part of Sir John Thomas Duckworth's force at the passage of those straits. After further assisting at the embarkation of Sir John Moore's army at Corunna, in January, 1809, Mr. Bruce rejoined Captain Blackwood in the Warspite, 74, stationed in the North Sea, and on Jan. 5, 1810, he was promoted from the Bellona, 74, Captain John Erskine Douglas, into the Prospero sloop, Cap tain John Hardy Godby, from which he was, how ever, removed on the 17th of the same month to the Bell videra, 36, Captain Rich. Byron. While in that ship he in part commanded her boats, in conjunction with those of the Nemesis, 28, at the very gallant capture, off the coast of Norway, of two Danish gun-vessels, the Bolder and Thor, of 8 guns and 45 men each, and destruction of a third, July 23, 1810 ; obtained the official notice of his captain for his skilful manage. ment of the Belvidera's main deck stern-chasers, when she ably escaped, after a long running fight, and a lose of 2 men killed and 22 wounded, from a powerful Ame rican squadron under Commodore Roge rs , June 23, 1812, on which occasion he was hims e lf slightly wounded ; again served in the boats, with those of a squadron under Lieut. Kelly Nazer, at the boarding and capture, on Feb. 8, 1813, after a most obstinate resis tance, of the American letter-of-marque Lottery, o f s i x 12-pounder carronades and 28 men, an exploit which was acknowledged by the especial thanks of the com mander-in-chief, and subsequently aided in taking and destroying the privateers Bunker's-hill, 7 guns and 72 men, and Mars of 15 guns and 70 men. Captain Bruce, who was advanced to the command of the Manly brig, May 27, 1814, next, in August of that year, accompanied Rear-Admiral Cockburn up the Patuxent as far as Nottingham, and, on the return of the British army from Washington, there heisted* the flag of that gallant officer, whose acknowledgments for his services he had the honour with others to re ceive. In September following the Manly was employed up the Patapsto River during the advance of Major- General ROM on Baltimore. We soon afterwards find Captain Bruce returning to England with despatchei is the Rover sloop and, until paid off in September, 1815, successively employed in escorting the outward-bound East India trade to the southward of the equator, in conveying home a fleet of merchantmen from Barba does, and cruising off Dieppe for the purpose of in tercepting Napoleon Bonaparte, should occasion offer. On March 16, 1821, he was appointed to the Sappho, sloop, and being the senior commander on the Cork station at the time of George IV.'s visit to Ireland, was promoted to post rank by commission dated Nov. 16, in the same year. He subsequently, from Oct. 4, 1823, until April 3, 1824, officiated as flag captain in the Bri tannia, 120, to the Hon. Sir Alex. Inglis Cochrane, oom niander-in-chief at Plymouth; commanded the Imogene, 26, on the South American Station, from June 7, 1836, until paid off at the close of 1339, and on Feb. 1, 1842, was selected by his brother-in-law, Sir T. J., Cochrane, to be his flag captain in the Agincourt, 72, on the East India station. " Captain Bruce married first, Feb. 9, 1822, Jane, second daughter of Admiral Hon. Sir Alex. Inglis Cochrane, sister of Rear-Admiral Sir T. John Cochrane, and sister-in-law of Rear-Admiral Sir E. Thomas Trow bridge, Bart., by whom, who died June 22, 1830, be has issue two sons and two daughters. Ile espoused, se condly, March 13, 1832, Mary Minchin, youngest daughter of the late Colonel George Dalrymple, and by that lady also be has issue." THE WOUNDED AT SCUTARI. Two British officers arrived in Paris late last night from Constantinople on their return to England. After the battle of the Alma they were sent to hospital at Scutari, which they left to embark in the Emeu. They speak in the highest terms of Miss Nightinghale and the nurses who have so nobly devoted themselves to the cause of humanity. The day before they left Constan tinople about 600 of the British troops, who had been wounded at Inkerman, arrived at the hospital. Their wounds and bodies were washed by these ladies, clean linen supplied to them, and everything which the most tender care could suggest was at hand in abundance. One stalwart guardsman who had received three severe wounds appeared deeply affected when he found jrimself the object of so much solicitude. "Ah !" said he, " now I see there are people in England who care for us poor soldiers." Many comforts and luxuries have also been supplied by means of the sick fund transmitted by the agency of The Times. Surgeons are more abundant, and altogether our wounded heroes are better oared for than they were at the commencement of hostilities. FRENCH CO-OPERATION 11TH OMER PACII.A. We find the following in a letter received this morning from Paris : " The news which I sent last night of the determina tion of the French Government to send two divisions of the army , into the principalities to eo-operate with Omer Pacha in the aggressive operations about to be commenced against the Russians on the Pruth and in Bessarabia has given great satisfaction here, and has renewed confidence to such an extent that the French funds have risen one-and•a•half per cent. It is understood that this important resolution is fully approved of by the English Government, and that it was adopted after a consultation with Lord Palmerston. The Russian party in Paris have endeavoured to repre sent this great measure as a hostile demonstration against Austria, but I have reason to believe that it has been adopted with the full approbation of the Austrian Government. " I understand that in answer to a demand made by Russia, as to the attitude to be taken by the Aus trian troops in the Principalities, in case of an attack by the Turks against the Russians, the Cabinet of Vienna has sent a note to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, in which it declares that orders have been sent to General Corohini, to the effect that he is not to do anything that may impede the operations of the Turks, or even an invasion on their part of the Russian territories, if such a scheme should happen to come within their plan of operations. On the contrary, the Austrian troops are directed to give to the Turks all possible facility for their movements, even if they should be of an aggres sive character against Russia. "Bavaria has also positively intimated her determi nation to adhere to the policy of Austria, and her readi ness to vote in the Diet, or sign any proposition by which she would set ctien that policy.' Another letter contains the following "It is believed in quarters generally ; e ll i n f orme d that before long Austria will be forced to declare un equivocally whether she really means or not to take an active part with the Allies in the operations new going on.. To a note that has been received within the last few days from Vienna, and which purports to explain file position of that Power, and which declares her continued adherence to the principles of the notes of the Btlrof April, an answer of a decidedly categorical kind will ..be returned by this Government. Indeed, matters have reached such a point as that a formal rup. tore with Austria is not considered as improbable' or distant, . in the meantime it is asserted that a resolu tion has been adopted by this Goveraineattitte,uto a testconcur rence with England, which will bring Ferneench rs i troo th p e s into two — the na D m a e u l u y' bi t a o n end Principalities two division s inde independently ndti y of which wen: embarking at Toulon for the Crimea.

To this rumour, proclaiming war against . proc goaded on a mount of credence it received, some persons by the and - the • rise which took place in the funds ut o l.y er as ers, bad at the close of business hours. We need hardly that we attach no faith to the rumour. Unless sa y, • be actually driven into a war with Russia, Austria towardsasci.ihed the she will never come into collision with that power. And, a s yet, we see no indicati on o f Austria having been subjected to any such compulsion. But there i s , happily, another piece of intelligence in connexion with Austria and Russia, which was well calculated when known on Change to cause a rise in the public secruities. It did cause a rise in the French Rentes. We allude to the circumstance of the French Government having determined on sending a large body of troops to the Danubian Principalities, and now in the occupation of Austria, with the view of enabling Turkey to carry on a vigorous war with Russia on the banks of the Pruth. This is a most important step. It will distract the attention of the Czar, which has recently been given exclusively to the Crimea, and it will, moreover, compel him to withdraw a portion of his troops from that peninsula, to confront the combined forces of France and Turkey in the vicinity of the Pruth. This is the right way to deal with Nicholas. One great error has been in assailing him only in the Crimea.

A treaty for the reciprocal extradition of criminals is spoken of as likely soon to be concluded between Great Britain and Prussia, similar . to that which has latel been concluded between Prussia and the United states y of North America. , I I 60 i i 9!..1 9 68 i 75i 5 9i 511 i 13i 24 23
