MONEY mAaKE AIM COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE• TVVO o'CLOCK. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was moderately active at steady prices. The sales comprised 7,000 bales, including 2,000 on specu lation and for export. The Railway share Mar ket was depressed, with a decline in some instances of 4to per cent. The bullion held by the Bank of England during the week to the 7th inst. was slightly diminished notwithstanding the imports, and it is to be as sumed that the amounts received from abroad had not then been paid in, although enough has been received since to augment the total. The payment of official salaries or disbursements appears to have already commenced, as the public deposits were rather smaller ; their first reduction, in fact after the maximum point of the quarter. The de mand for money is evidenced by the reduction of private lodgments, but as respects the secu rities, there was a diminution arising from the ordinary repayment of loans before the transfer books re-open. The discounts of the Bank are already sufficiently large, considering the quiet state of trade and the absence of speculation. The next return will present numerous changes, in duced by the dividend payments. Compared with the previous week, the changes, up to the 7tu inst., were as under Active circulation Decrease Bullion Decrease £19,959,015 5,905 ... 12,972,466 87,404 Rest Increase Public Deposits 5,766,065 • Decroase 20,517 Other Deposits Decrease 325,470 seven-Day and other Bills Increase 29,086 Government Securities 11,015,466 Increase ' Other Securities 16,677,317 Decrease Notes unemployed 6,391,015 Decrease 108,365 Yesterday afternoon the rates of exchange were not quite so well supported as regards bills upon the principal Continental cities. Paris, 90 days, went at 25 35 to 371, Amsterdam at 11 17"/ to 18±, Hamburgh at 13 7 to 71, Trieste at 11 45 to 50, and Frankfort at 118'4 to -K.. Bar silver is at ss. lid. per ounce, being id, lower. The exports of bullion direct from London during the week to Thursday last comprised 1,935 ounces of gold and 37,615 of silver, all to the Continent. The ship Saldanha, from Port Philip, arrived at Liverpool, brings 129,0001. in gold. The amount on bpard the Queen of the South is 554,100/. Some heavy payments fall due next week. On Monday there will be 15 per cent. payable on the second 1,000,0001. of the Turkish Loan ; on Tues day 20 per cent. is payable on the A series of the 2,000,0001. of Exchequer Bonds, and on Friday 20 per cent. on the first issue of 2,000,000/. of the Turkish loan. The exchanges next week will therefore, in all probability, decline. The letters from the Continent furnish no cora- menial news of interest. The English Stocks have been flat, the reduction in the amount of bullion held by the Bank being the main cause, although there is obviously au excess in the supply. Consols have been 95 to 1 for transfer and account. The New 31 per Cents. have realised 91 to 94k, and the 3 per Cents. 931 to 91. Exchequerßills have been 4s. to 75., and East India Bonds 10s. premium: The Bonds of 1859 have been done at par. In Foreign Stocks the dealings a ( re unusually limited, and quotations are nominal. TransactiOns are officially recorded in Brazilian Small at 991, in Spanish New Deferred at 181, and in Turkish Scrip at 21 to 3. These constitute the entire busi ness of the day up to the period of our writing. The following.are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 to 6/ Mexi can, 241 to 25 ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 96 to 93 ; ditto, 4A per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 181 to 19 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 372- to 331- ; ditto, Certi ficates, 5 to 51 ; ditto, Passive, 4g- to 4a. The Railway Share Market has become de. pressed. There is a decline of 1 to l 4 in North Western and Midland, of to in Cale donian, and of to 1 in Great Northern. Great Western are tolerably firm. The foreign lines have been firm, and Great Luxembourg rather higher. Mining Shares are dull, and also Banks. The Crystal Palace have been firmer. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

A PROMISING FAMILY.—A. child, aged three years, belonging to a woman named Henry, died near Toome, Ireland, a feW days ago, from intoxication ! The grand mother, mother, and aunt of the child were all drunk at the Dame tine.--Northern Whig. The East India and China Association have received 20 an intimation from the Post•office that, in consequence 100 of their representations regarding the inconvenience 20 sustained from the present arrangements of the mail 5 gervice between this country and Calcutta leaving too short an interval at Calcutta for the return correspon- 20 dence, the Postmaster-General has been in communica tion with the Admiralty on the subject. The result is that new tables have been sanctioned under which an 2( extension of four days will be afforded to the inhabi tants of Calcutta for answering their correspondence, bu ttae date when the alteration isao come into effect '' 3 temains to be determined. , 1 HONG KONG.—Additional telegraphic despatches from Hong Kong yesterday mention that the exports of new tea to date were 13,000,0001 b., and of silk 2,200 bales. The insurgents were still attacking Canton, fed were in possession of the whole of the surrounding country, the general expectation being that the city would be forced to yield. There had been no more arrivals of tea, and some which was near Canton had been taken back into the country. At Shanghai there had been large settle. ments of green tea. In silk there was little doing, and prices were high for the finer descriptions. Samqua had been dismissed from office and ordered to Pekin. Loss OF A SWEDISH STEAMER.—COPENHAGEN, Oct. 13.—The SweduSh GovernMent steamer Gylfe, returning from Norrland, was totally wrecked on the sth inst., near Orefrnndsgripet. The crew were saved. The advices from Spain mention, as a favourable cir cumstance for the interests of the foreign bondholders, that Don Luis de Mariategui has been elected deputy for the province of St. Sebastian. He has been much in England, and has connections with many of the prin- Cipal firms of London and the Continent. The present Minister of Finance was also among the candidates for the province, but was unsuccessful. The total value of the gold and sovereigns reported from Australia yesterday, is 554,1001., the Queen of the South steamer from Sydney and Melbourne having 64,000 ounces and 160,000 sovereigns ; the Saldanba, 33,072 ounces ; and the Templar, 1,080 ounces and 1,500 sovereigns. In addition to this the Severn, from Brazil, has brought 16,0001., making an aggregate of 570,0001. According to the advices from Liverpool the affairs of Mr. M‘Henry have been thrown into Chancery by some relatives and there is little prospect of more than a • fractional dividend. The expectations lately entertained of a good arrangement of the affairs of Mr. Oliver seem also to have been abandoned. • A MERICAN RAILWAYS.

SCOTCH SOLDIERS AT THE WARS.-Thirty men from Forfar, and attached to the Artillery, Scots Fusilier Guards, 42d, 79th, and 93d Highlanders, nict at Varna on the evening before embarking for the Crimea, and agreed that those surviving the attack on Sebastopol should transmit to their relations at home an account of their fate. SPOR TES CESAREWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE. The Cesarewitch was the be all and all of the attrac tion at Newmarket. Prior to the race little else was talked about, and after it the performances of the diffe rent competitors, and their effect on the Cambridgeshire chances, formed the leading topic of conversation. The result of the race created no surprise ; the saved and bottled-up Muscovite at last " brought off the good thing" for which he had been so long and patiently re served. He achieved the victory with consum mate ease, and proved, what has been often asserted but seldom believed, that when well and meant no horse in England can give him weight. To this opinion, which was widely entertained by his partisans, I gave expression in the notes despatched from head-quarters on Monday. By the way, the information rhiell I hastily gathered, and as hastily communicated to the reader on Monday, was almost literally correct, especially that portion of it which related to Muscovite, Rodo-rneli, Colmut, D. 0., and Rattle. A more unsatisfactory settling—save the mark—was never attempted than that which took place on the Cesare witch on Wed n nesday. Equivocating excuses were more plentiful than money, and people who had largo winning balances had their books " spoiled" by bad debts. One large speculator was "hit" for 26,0001., but he will doubtless he ultimately enabled to discharge all liabilities in full. Captain H---- undertook to ar range matters with Mr. S--'s creditors, and fulfilled his diplomatic mission most successfully. Two months was granted, I believe, to Mr. S to pay one-third of his debts, and two years the remainder. He, therefore, entered the ring on Wednesday, with 15,0001., and partially settled. Two fellows received large sums and bolted. One of them, a Mr. P—, had no standing in the ring, but impudence carried him through. If gentlemen will bet with such fellows they must expect to be ultimately victimised. The ring is, in fact, infested with adventurers who regularly on every great race "go for th'e gloves." The ranks of the "little men" have been thinned by the success of Muscovite, and the turf market is long likely to be " tight" and dull from the bad effect of the settling. The winners are mainly confined to the owners of Muscovite and their friends ; among the book makers, Mr. Davis was, I be ieve, the most fortunate. Rattle's running deservedly caused him to he advanced to a leading position in the list of quotations on the Cambridgeshire. Scherz, too, ran sufficiently forward in the early part of tile race to excite expectations of his chance. Orinoco is also in strong demand ; and if the report which states that Rattle was tried with Mr. Stanley's horses be true, his owner has a pretty trustworthy " line " by which to measure his chance. The movements relative to Monie Moses have caused some little curiosity. During the past week this horse has been heavily backed ; he was once advanced to 15 to 1, but a determined opposition again caused him to retrograde to 25 to 1. I confess to a partiality for this horse's chance, but I am not acquainted with the intentions of his party, neither am I a master of their tactics. It is said that the bona fide owner of the horse wishes to stand "a good round sum to nothing," and unless he can be accommodated he will exercise what control he pleases over the horse. Monie Mosies, it• is reported, can do anything with Black Swan! John Os borne's mare, Helena, receives steady support, but it is whispered that a young 'un belonging to his stable may yet represent his interest. Hervine, who beat Orestes and others at Chantilly on Saturday the 7th inst., mile not be overlooked. I will enter into a discussion of the Warwick pro gramme on Monday. Oct. 14. A FRESH MAN. THE PIER MOTS AT LONDON-BRIDGE, Yesterday afternOon the Southwark police-court was excessively crowded by watermen, lighterman, and others connected with the river Thames, summonses having been obtained by James Law, a waterman, and Mr. Thomas Pillow, a lighterman, against Mr. John Burney and Mr. Lewis Haslewood, directors of the Citi zen steam-boats, for obstructing the stairs on the Surrey eastern side of London-bridge, - by placing a dumb lighter and landing stage there, also with stopping up. the right of way on the river Thames, contrary to the regulations of the byelaws of the Watermen's Company. The placing of this pier created considerable excite ment and disturbance about a month ago. The harbour master at the tiiee brought the matter before Mr. Combo at this court. The assistant harbour master then said that the barges of Mr. Pillow, who was then delinquent, was an obstruction, and on that gentleman removing it, he (the assistant harbour master) intended to prevent any other obstruction. Since then the CLizen Steaos boat Company have constructed a pier with dumb lighter, &c., and the present summonses were accord ingly taken out a few days ago. Mr. Pulling appeared for the complainants ; and Mr. Cattarns, the solicitor to the Citizen Steamboat C.mn- pany, for the defendano. Mr. Pulling, in opening the case, stated that the first case he should bring before his worship was the charge made by Law, the waterman, against the defendants, which was for the infringement of the byelaws of the Watermen's Company. The complainant had his bread to earn on the river, and especially at the London-bridge stairs, wlfdre the defendants had constructed a floating pier. The defendants, in the dead of the night, came to London-bridge with a steam-boat, lighters, and every thing necessary, and so constructed a pier without inter- . . ruption, and without at all consulting the interests of the watermen or the convenience of the public, who had . a right to use those stairs. The complainant was a free waterman, and that was his proper plying place, but he was prevented from carrying on his avocation there through the obstruction made by the defendants. The learned counsel called James Richard Law, who said—l am a free water man, and I use the eastern stairs on the Surrey side of London-bridge. They are public, used by the boats of her Majesty's ship Crocodile, lying oft the Tower, and other watermen and lightermen. The Crocodile's boat was a twelve-oared pinnace, and used the stairs two or three times a week. Many boats also brought sick people from ships to be carefully conveyed to the hos pitals ; besides, the stairs were mach frequented on market days. I have used them according to the tide until prevented by the defendants' obstruction. On the morning of the 6th inst., about one o'clock, I wanted to get to the stairs with my skiff, but I was prevented by a dumb lighter, and a brow or landing place, which was attacked to the former and fixed fo the bottom steps of the bridge. There are also piles driven into the ground near that place by the defendants' direction, and under the arch of the bridge. The barge was partially under the bridge, and one end came across the stairs. The brow or landing place had one end resting on it, and the other end on the stairs, so that at low water it was im possible to get near the watermen's causeway. When I was there that morning I saw Mr. Hazlewood, Mr. Burney, and others, giving orders in placing the pier. They were in fact commanders-in-chief. (Laughter.) When I tried to get in with my skiff I called their atten tion to the obstruction. Mr. Haslewood said, " Shove her out." I said lam not able to shove her out ' • the has no business there. Hasle w oo d th en said, "You may summon me if you like, and do what you can." An hour and a half afterwards I was able to get my skiff in, but shortly afterwards the obstruction was replaced, and still remained so. The dummy and platform pre vented my boat and any other craft, and the due and ordinary passing of boats into the stairs. Mr. A'Beckett—Did you say any others prevented ? Witness—No, I did not, sir ; but I am sure they were so, and are at the present time. Mr. Pulling here put in a drawing of the place, taken by Mr. Martin, a surveyor, • but Mr. Cattarns objected to its reception, as the draughtsman could not prove the actual measurement of the stairs at low water. He then called William Hunt, a waterman, who said—l was at London-bridge-stairs (East Surrey side) at one o'clock on the morning of the 6th instant, when I saw a Citizen steam-boat with a dummy, and brow, or landing-place, eearthe stairs. The barge and brow were fixed by the defendants. The former was fixed with chains, and projected eight feet from the bridge across our stairs. It was not removed that day, and has remained in the same position ever since. The dummy is in their way, and in coming to the stairs with their boats full of passengers, they cannot help knocking up against it to the imminent danger of their own lives and that of the passengers. Any person not accustomed to a boat coining with one to the stairs would be almost sure to get.drowned. Mr. Cattarns—l was not aware of such evidence. Al I thought against us was for. preventing Law froi getting into his boat. This appears all new to froi getting Pulling then put in a printed copy of the Water. men's Bye-laws, dated 1330, when Mr. Cattarns objected to .their being received. There had been two editions since. Besides that, he must have them legally produced. Mr. Pulling—There is the printed book. That is sufficient. Mr. Cattarne—l contend that it is not. You must have the clerk of the Waterman's Company to prove it legally. Mr. A'Beckett—Certainly. It must be done in a legal manner ; and as it appears you cannot do so now, the case bad better be adjourued. After a deal of conversation on both sides, it was ulti mately arranged that both summonses should stand adjourned until Thursday next, at three o'clock, when the officers of the Watermen's Company will he in attendance. Lee NEW RAILWAY.—A memorial is in course of signature by the inhabitanti cf Hammersmith and its vicinity to the directors of the Great Western Railway Comp►ny, urging them to form a branch continuation from Padding ton station by Notting-vale and Shepherd's-bush to the Broadway, at Hammersmith, so as to afford access to the City by means of the tunnel line, known as " Mr. Pearson's scheme." The cost of this continuation, it is stated, will not exceed 60,00 01 .

His strength at length failed him , and, placed on gun-carriage, he was conveyed into the Port of Balaklava, and on board the Caradoc, where, after great suffering, he, expired at 4 o'clock on the next morning. His remains were buried the next day (the 27th) in an orchard adjoining the quarters of Lord Raglan. This gallant young officer was the fourth son of R. H. Cox, Esq., of Hillingdon; house, and his untimely and sad end has cast a deep, gloom over the brigade. He was universally beloved, and the Duke of Cambridge and Lord Raglan were among those of his comrades in arms who have witt, mi to express their uyinpathy. and Condolence with I flicted family. The following "officers' aro •Untler Orders to " 1 dhr°l f,,rthA ith to the Crimea:-=The Hon. Ashley PO .t*i ' 1 M.P., Grenadier Guards ; Lieutenant-COL - mei Dc Bat Lieutenant-Colonel Ford} cc, Captain P. Paget, Captal;.l Lord Adol Wills Vane Tempest, Lieutenant Gregory, and' Lieutenant Farquharson, Scots Fusilier Guards. Colonel Crombie, of the Coldstream Guards, whose death was several times believed aiid reported to have taken place, has, after easy stages, arrived at Brighton in a very debilitated state, but with every hope of an ultimate recovery. Among those - who gallantly distinguished themsel' e, in the Rittle of the Alma was Mr. C. P. Lane Fox, neView ot the Duke of Leeds, and a late Lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards, from which regiment he retired some months since, but subsequently fol lowed his regiment to the East, and was appointed aid-decamp to Brigadier Beatson, with the Bashi-Bazouks under the title of Yseph Bey. Upon their disbandment, however, he landed with the brigade of Guards iii the • Cittnea, and • appeared upon the battle-field in a shooting jacket ; catching the first stray horse in his path, he was indefa tigable in getting up ammunition, and was complimented for his conduct by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge en the field. At the close of the action he was shot through the ankle, and in that state bore Cap tain Charles Baring, of the Coldstream Guards, who had lost his arm, off the field. This gallant young volunteer is now lying at Constantinople, anxiously hoping his wound will permit his appearance in good time at Sebas topol.. • THE END OF THE BALTIC CAMPAIGN. The campaign in the Baltic may . now, we presume, be considered at an end, and some variety of opinion will pro bably be formed with respect to the result of our operations in those waters , . The British squadron has undoubtedly excluded the fleets of the Czar from the use of the sea, and, if we observe the success with which the Russian cruisers in the Pacific contrive to elude our frigates, and the disturbance occasioned by their known presence in those parts, we shall be better able to appreciate the value of a blookade which has kept such troublesome visitors from the highways of the ocean and the coasts of our own islands. Every maritime outlet of the Russian empire has been sealed up by our ships, our flag has been carried up to the shores of the enemy, and he has been insulted by open challenge and de fiance at the very mouths of his guns. One step further has been taken. A specimen of the granite fortifications on•which his reliance is placed was actually assailed b 3 the allies, and in this trial of strength between the resources of the belligerents the superiority was found so wholly on our side that Bomarsund was taken not only without loss, but, comparatively speaking, without effort. Finally th 3 entire fleet despatched on this mission has been preserved from injury. Not withstanding the notorious difficulties of the navigati , n all casualties have been escaped, nor is there so much as the loss of a single cruiser to be set down , to the adverse side of the account. Looking broadly at the matter, and speaking candidly, we think we might say thatsuch aresult would, upon the whole, have been generally accepted six months ago as a tolerably favourable conclusion. O. course, there were persons who thought that Cronetadt ought to be taken and the Russian fleets brought to Spit head within five weeks or so, but the great body of Eng glishmeu know and felt that the first duty of our Admirals was to maintain a thorough and effectual blockade, with- out exposing their ships to unnecessary danger. Against the fleet of the enemy our fleet would, of course, have proceeded at once, and it will be remembered that the first division of vessel:despatched to the Baltic was so inferior in number to the Russian squadron that nothite, could have been more defiant than the challenge thrown out. But such fighting as this was not in the Czar's de signs. What he wished was to allure our ships into an engagement with his shore fortifications, so that, after our walls of wood had got'the worse against his walls of rock, his • fleets might sail out of their skulking-placeF and find easy work with our shattered and discomfited squadrons. This was the risk to be escaped, and this risk has indeed been escaped, while the fleets of 'the enetiej have been confined within their fortified harbours. Nevertheless, we shall probably, not Le wrong in surmis ng that the preponderant feeling on this question will he me pf dissatisfaction, and this conclusion will find some justification in argument. Such results as those described however desirable in themselves, are certainly not corn mensurate with the magnitude of the means employed. 0 such a fleet as we despatched to the Baltic more might natu rally be expected than that it should come safe home again A. naval force so powerful, so well manned, and so salmi rably appointed, never left the shores of this or any othe kingdom. Its equipment in regard to strength-and re sources was perfect beyond example. Every ship was stupendous machine of offence, and engines of destructio unheard of in past times were At the command of men any officers inferior to none who ever sailed. Surely, some thing more than was at first designed might have bees achieved with such a squadron. It would be unfair t. shape our conclusions by any contrast with the operation in the Crimea. Each campaign should Le estimated by it self; hut, even thus, the reports front the Baltic beau much to be desired. Undoubtedly it was wise to avoii the trap which the Czar had laid for us in front of his hat teries ; but after the result of the Bomarannti experimen it seems natural to inquire both why that experimeu could not have been tried earlier, and why so satisfactory an issue was not more effectually followed up. The attack upon the Aland Isles taught the fleet and the world that granite ramparts wore not impregnable to cannon shot, nor did all the toasted resources at the command of the besieged, such as red-hot balls, Etc., produce the destruc tion, or even the jeopardy of a single vessel of the attack ing force. It is true that a large body of land troops as sisted at the operations, but it is also true that this rein forcement proved to be quite unnecessary, and if among the marines of the allied fleets there were MO or 600 who could use the Mini(' rifle with effect, the whole affair might have been accomplished at any moment by the un aided forces of the squadrons themselves. Although, moreover, we have bearded the enemy in his own strong holds, it is hardly to bo conceived but what our indisposi tion to close with his artillery must have given him in creased confidence in his own defences. The very demon strations, too, which we made in the way of reconnoitring and sounding may have had the effect of showing him his weak points, and of enabling him to strengthen them against future attack. It cannot, however, be denied that these disappoint. ments are in some measure traceable to errors of judgment on the part of those who were charged with the equip. ment of the fleet. The truth is that our attention has never been directed to this species of warfare. The con tingencies which we had in contemplation were those of an ordinary war, with its regular sea-fights maintained by great line-of-battle ships, no new element except that of steam power being taken into account. We made ready to engage the Russian fleet yardarm to yardarm at any odds, and we despatched our three-dockets accordingly. But, when it came to practice, we found that no such trial of this sort was to be anticipated, and that the Russian squadrons had entrenched themselves, if the expression be allowable, behind fortifications which could not be reached, like those of the Alma, Ly an undaunted advance. Our first-rates, especially those unprovidod with screws, turned out to be useless, and we believe that not one of them up to the present moment has fired a single allotted gun. On the other hand, the vessels 'most particularly needed were not forthcoming. We wanted a smaller species of craft, offering little or no mark to the enemy's shot, but armed with very heavy guns, and moveable at great speed with a light draught of water. Such, in fact, are the g-boats recently launched, and if a good force of these, with some powerful floating batteries, had been attached to the fleet, we should have had a better title to look for substantial results. Even then, however, it would always be necessary to keep a di vision ofline-of-battle ships in reserve,otherwise theßussians seeing only gun-boats before them, might take heart of grace, sally out, surround some small craft with their three-deckers, and repeat their performances at Sinop°. Putting recrimination aside, we cannot do better, now that the campaign is ended, than turn its lessons to good account for advantage in the ensuing spring. By that time the allies will probably have their Black Sea fleets disengaged, so that large reinforcements might be despatched to the Baltic. It does not seem, however, that reinforcements of this kind are really called for. Our squadrons, as already constituted, have proved quite strong enough to scare the Russians from the seas, while as to attacks upon shore fortifications it is clear that large vessels, unless moved and handled like the Agamemnon, cannot be brought into action. We have learnt that can non-shot can destroy granite walls, or at least such granite walla as are built by Russian engineers, and the object is to provide such a class of floating batteries as will carry our guns up to their work. The exertions now made in this direction offer a sure guarantee that the end will be soon secured, and a second campaign, undertaken with better appreciation of our relative power, and conducted with more enterprise, will speedily produce, we have little doubt, results considerably more positive than those at present achieved.—Times: . . .

L E TTERS FROM " THOS E AT SEA."--It is -customary 1 for the officers and men belonging to H.M. ships abroad to place letters for England in canvas bags, which are sewed up and sent on board the first mail packet met with. By the Brazil packet, which arrived in England yesterday, there was a letter bag front the officers of H.M.S. Sharpshooter. The following address was beau , tifully printed in a German text band on the bag, viz,-- "Letters front the officers of H.M.S. Sharpshooter. For England, home, and beauty." The latter sentence formed a wreath round an admirable drawing of the . Sharpshboter. - • • PRUSSI :ALITY. We have received communications, from several cor respondents in which it is alleged that for the facilities afforded to Russian commerce, at Memel and on the Vistula, the British and not the Prussian Government is to blame. The writers of these letters leave entirely out of view .the fact that the Prussian Government has at least twice allowed large quantities of lead to be shipped from Bromberg to Warsaw on account of the Russian Government for the mannufacture of bullets : by allowing the shipment, therefore,. the Prussian Go vernment has connived at or sanctioned the transmission of contraband of war from its ports to the interior of Russia. As for the exportation of flax and other Russian pro duce from Memel, that is attributed by the correspond entsweallude to entirely to the recognition by the British .Goverkment, at the commencement of hostilities of the principle " tree flag snakes free goods." They who make this allegation fur let to ask themselves whether the Bri• esih W r Overnment could avoid rzcognisin t , ,, the principle presentas inmost wars, there are three parties to b.! ;134 t .idered—the two belligeieuts ,and neutta's. Neu . teats have rights as well, as belligerents ; arid one of these . , r3utral rights is thaelte belligerents, while fightit..; out • eir quarrel-, shall inflict as little annoyance or hindrance "on the'trade - of the neutra l s as possible.. Unless the rinciple of " free flag snakes free goods" be admitted, every neutral vessel must be liable to search by the, cruisers of the belligerents. The exercise of a rght of search has, been foti,nd . extremely liable to alms!. On his account an attempt was made (for the first time) shout the middle of last century , to establish the principle "free flag makes free goods," which must have the effect of limiting the right of search to such vessels as could reasonably be suspected of carry ing contraband of war. The benefit of this limita tion to neutrals is obvious ; for what concerns bellige rents its operation is " asi broad as it is long." If "'free flag makes free goods," it•follows of course that "unfree flag makes unfree goods." -Any advantage which neu tral traders, under the application of. the principle, may have over traders the subjects of belligerents is a neces sary consequence of the one being at peace and the other at war. In equity the British Government could not re fuse to adopt the principle "free flag makes free goods ;" as a matter of policy it could not refuse it. The history of the " armed neutrality" ought to convince every rea ,ioning man that, by refusing to recognise the principle, England would run the risk of converting all the Powers now neutral (the United States included) into enemies: Had - the Prussian Government only allowed its sub jects to avail themselves of the advantages derivable from the recognitiOn of this principle it would only have been acting in its own right. But what is iniquitous in the conduct of Prussia is its allowing its subjects at Ketnel to lend themselves to transactions by which pro duce the property of Russian subjects is made to appear the property of non• Russian subjects. It is boastfully recorded by a Russian journal that the trade iu Russian produce on the Niemen is principally carried on by the parties who have hitherto been . engaged in the astenSive smuggling operations carried on along that fiontier. It appears from the extraordinary precautions which the authorities have been obliged to take since the fire at Memel, to prevent depreda dons, that the trade in Russian produce has drawn together a dangerous number of irregular characters in let town. These circumstances corroborate the strong ,uspicions which have gone abroad that the duties for merly imposed upon Russian produce crossing the Prus iian frontier have not been faithfully collected since the beginning of hostilities, and that Custom-house certifi cates of goods being the property of non-Russian sub jects have been issued without proper evidence having been demanded as to whose property they really were. These are the acts on the part of the Prussian Govern ment and it functionaries which are justly complained of 1,5 violations of neutrality. ROYAL PATRIOTIC FUND. _ A "Patriotic Fund" has been established under the patronage of the Queen. The document which gives the Royal sanction to the fund in question is one of the last which could have been signed by her Majesty before leaving Balmoral. The date of the signature, the 7th of October, shows the readiness of her Majesty to patro nise any movement having for its object the pro tection and support of the relatives of those who have fallen in defence of their country. Prinoe Albert figures at the head of the commissioners as might have beee 'expected. The Prince Consort could — scarcely have beeil absent from a commission the object of which is to administer relief to a large num ber of her Majesty's subjects. An admixture of men of dl parties shows that the wish has been in forming the commission to include all Englishmen who, however widely they may differ in politico, are united in one ob ject—that of Maintaining the_hononr of their country. and alleviating the miseries of those who have experi enced losses in consequence of their direct or indirect oarticipation in the war. All parties come forward to tid in the great work of softening the horrors of the, contest. . The preamble of the document states that many of her Aajesty's subjects, being anxious. tolestify their loyalty and love by a just and generous benevolence towards the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in battle, it is expedient to take measures fur the cafe cus tody and application of the funds that may be subscribed for this purpose. To this end commissioners are ap iwinted. In the list there are some strange juxtaiposi tions. The misery—not of themselves, but, oi others— nas made the commissioners acquainted with "strange oedfeliows." Tho Duke f Newcastle and.. the. Earl of Derby pair off most amicably. Viscount Paliiii:rstun, the Baron St. Laotian's, and Sir J. Pakington appear in conjunction. Not only, however, are all parties uncle to join-in thozreat object of administering charity, but ail , :lasses are brought together for the same purpose. 'rile ancient aristocrats, who fancied that to them kiwi(' was to be entrusted the official allevialon of the'sorrows of their fellow-countrymen, would stare to find their noble brethren .associated with Joseph Hume and Samuel Morton Peto in a grAnd patriotic endeavour. All these, and various others of all ranks and all opinions are ap pointed by her Majesty "to make full and diligent in quiry into the best mode of aiding the loyalty and bene volence of her Majesty's loving subjects, and of ascer taining the best means by which their gifts and contri butions may be best applied, iv:cording to the generous intentions of the donors thereof." The Patriotic Fund will afford a means to all classes of testifying their sympathy towards those whO are suf ferers in a national contest. The battle is not between England and Russia. It is between Englishmen and the Czar. We are all anxious to make sacrifices. We are all eager to testify our devotion. If we are far from participation in the actual deeds of arms, we are still intensely desirous of mitigating the sufferings of the con. noxious of our fellow-countrymen who have perished in battle. It is not only the Sovereign who is interested in the result of the tremendous struggle in which we aro en gaged. We feel that, the fight is a personal one. Each man is an enemy of the Czar. Each Englishman feels himself a relative of those who have fallen. The widows and orphans of those who have died on the heights of the Alma are connected with the inhabitants of the country by ties scarcely less sacred than those which originate in relationship by blood. "The Patriotic Fund" thus commends itself to the notice of the whole country, and its success is certain. The manner in which the - objects of the commission are intended to be carried out is simple enough, and appears calculated to be successful. A large number of commissioners, including, as has been observed, men of all parties, have been appointed. The commission will doubthsis soon resolve itself into a select working body. The commissioners are empowered to call before them all such persons connected with the civil, military, and naval services as they may judge necessary in order to become better informed of " all matters and things most desirable to be done and performed." Secretaries are appointed, and the lord lieutenant, sheriffs, and custodes rotulorum, with other persons mentioned in the com mission. arenamed "Commissioners in Aid" to encourage and assist the establishment of 'local committees. The nomination of regular constituted officers and committees to be the channel of the efforts of private benevolence is a great step in the right direction. IA most mischievous check has been lately given to individual charity by the alleged misappropriation of funds subscribed for purposes similar to those to which the Patriotic Fund is to be applied. The nomination of responsible officials as managers of the fund will remove the only objection which impeded beneficent persons from subscribing for the carrying out of a truly national measure. There is no need to exp end many words in commend. ing this fund to the notice of Englishmen. A terrible list of killed and wounded must shortly make its al). pearance. Death is reaping a fearful harvest in the n om tr e y. of i th n e o te r st er s. ie ti s Fi f : or Crimea. Many a hearth will soon be desolate. There are few of us who will not have to participate, more or less actively, in lamentations for the dell. bravest ven e a o n fcciet on The mad am bition of the Czar has been the occasion for weeks past country. the murderer, let us not forget the claims of th g and orphans of the murdered. At this moment e death is in all probability thinning the. ranks of is d °f e .tbt fen t d s e i r a s7o g f h.ttheer rnointaming the honour of their country before Sebas topol. The victims will be which they have died to 8 burie d far off from that land that their countrymen will serve. They die in the hope left desolate. Englishmen will know how to respond to this hope. The widows and orphans of the brave will not be left to suffer the pangs of want in addition to the miseries of bereavement. —. Daily News. .
