The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 12,000 bales, including 3,000 American, and 1,500 Surat taken for export and on speculation. The market closed with an up ward tendency—American and Surat a point against the buyer. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 180 Pernam and Maranhani at 51d. to 7d., 800 Egyptian at 50. to 91d., 2,500 Surat at 2id. to 4±d., and 250 Sea Island at 11d. to Is. 10d. per lb. Railway Shares were buoyant at an advance of 1 to 2 per cent. on all the leading stock. In referring to the heavy condition of the tallow market, Messrs. Smith and Charles state : " It is probable that, but for the article in the Econo mist, our market would have declined to-day, in conse quence of the news from Sebastopol, there being an opinion that the fall of this important fortress is likely to bring the Emperor to terms. Our opinion is the very reverse, and that the catastrophe in question is calculated only to excite the exasperation of the Czar, and to lead him to seek revenge in some other direction. It is quite certain that, until he is compelled to fly from his own great cities, he may consider himself not utterly beaten ; and he has too much at stake to give in till he is driven to the utmost extremity. We therefore look on this war as one which may be protracted through many years, unless the course intimated by the Economist as iikely to be adopted by the Allies is actually put in force." In the Banker's Magazine for October, besides the general monetary information, there are some interesting papers upon bankruptcy administration, the rise and progress of joint-stock banking, and the power of public companies to borrow money. The following account of the Clearing House is interesting at the present time, now the joint stock banks have just been admitted to the privi leges which it confers, and as some valuable fin provements have lately been introduced : 12 50 " The Clearing house is a building erected by the pri- St. vats bankers of the City of London for their common 19, use, situated in Post-office-court, Lombard-street, and 14 it is there that the committee of bankers meet for the 20 purpose of considering, from time to time, measures for 11 their mutual advantage, in connection with their busi- SSt. ness of banking. It appears that the system of clear- to'' ing between the hankers was first introduced so far 10 La •k as the year 1775. Its objects are to economise 126 labour and the circulation of Bank of England notes, St. as well as to simplify the settlement of the multifarious 50 pecuniary transactions incidental to the business of 40 banking in a large mercantile city like London, by 25 concentrating in one place, and under one acknowledged 2 5 5 plan, the duties of those engaged as re p resentatives of 812 E the several banking houses. St. " Each banking house, or joint-stock bank, is repre- St. sented by a clerk, whose duty consists in entering in a 50 book, in columns arranged in alphabetical order, the 25 drafts, bills of exchange, and cheques, which, having 100 been previously charged out in clearing books at different. banking houses, are sent to the Clearing-house for pre- 2t sentation, so that the casting o f the column shows the 50 amount of bills, cheques, &c. , pre s e nted b y each banking 20 house to one another during the day. The balances St. of the various accounts are ascertained at 4 p.m., and entered upon the list. Thus, if, at the close of the day's transactions, the comparison shows that the Union Bank of London have .a larger claim against Barclay and Co. than Barclay and Co. against the Union Bank, the balance between the two is placed in the left hand column, headed debtors; but if, on the contrary, Barclay and Co. become creditors, and the balance is inserted in the right hand column,' a similar trial shows what balances are due either to or from the Union Bank with the other banking-houses. " When these balances are finally ascertained the balance-sheets are handed to the inspectors, and from these sheets the general balance of the Clearing-house is made up. "The settlement of the clearing was, until recently, effected by the means of bank notes (odd amounts under 501. remaining over till next day), but by the system now in practice no money whatever, in the shape of notes, is required, the object being ao,-2omplished with equal tffect and a complete relief from risk of robbery to the clerks, whose duty it was, under the old plan, to bring down the bank notes, not unfrequently to very largo amounts, to settle the day's clearing. Each banker and joint-stock bank has an account with the Bank of England for the purpose of keeping a balance to replenish their tills and for facilitating the ordinary banking operations they may have with the Bank. Those bankers or joint stock banks, therefore, who are debtors to the clearing, fill up and sign the document which authorises the Bank of England to transfer so much for the account of the banker to that of the Clearing-house account opened in the books of the bank. "Thus, the momentous transactions of the banking houses are balanced and satisfied without the necessity of a single bank-note; whereas, prior to the introduction of this admirable system many thousand pound bank notes were requisite. It must be obvious that the cir culation of bank-notes (especially of a large denomina tion) is in a great measure dispensed with, and that by the facilities, simplicity, and economy thus afforded the Joint-Stock Banks will be participating in the advantages of the clearing system, and reap likewise the benefit in a pecuniary point of view, and thereby create a further stimulus to the increasing value of their shares." The flatness which came over the Stock Market yesterday has not been recovered, and thus far the speculation for advanced prices in anticipation of our success in the Crimea has " discounted" the event. Nevertheless the effect of this groat feat of arms must be to give great confidence throughout the country, and, except that prices already rule ... high, there would doubtless be a rise.

PERPETUAL MOTION.—Mr. J. G. Hendrickson, of 50 New Jersey, announces the discovery of the princip le of 50 perpetual motion. The success is obtained by the means D o of arms and balls attached to a cylinder so as to keep 100 the extra weight always on one side, and therefore to give the cylinder a constant inclination to turn round. The machine requires no starting ; take away the blocks, and it goes off " like a thing of life." The Journal of Commerce says of it : " The model was in our office Yesterday, and attached to some clockwork, which it 1100 turned without once stopping to breathe. We see no 10 reason why it should not go until worn out. After a 5 careful examination, we can safely say, in all serious ness, that the propelling power is self-contained and 25 self-adjusting, and gives a sufficient active force to carry 25 ordinary clockwork, and all without any winding up or ••• replenishing." 59 t. 4 0-1 TT r r 1" ' t r " r 1 Trig ST 4 7N, LONDON, TUESDAY EVE.NING, OCTOBER L Itls 4.

The enterprising and indefatigable lessee, Mr. E. T. Smith, has again afforded the play-going public another opportunity of witnessing the performance of Mr. Brooke, in some of his principal parts, previous to his leaving England for Australia. It behoves every lover of acting to embrace the opportunity afforded him, for without doubt he is as fine an actor as ever trod the boards of old Drury. That Mr. Brooke is a great actor no one can deny ; neither can it be controverted that he is one of theslast, if not the very last, who represents the poetic school of acting. Mr. Brooke has arrived at the utmost nicety of his art, he produces his most powerful effects by the utmost simplicity of style. He is easy and natural in the different phases of the part ; he also throws the light and shadow of the character of Virginius into full relief. The happy host, the cheer ful, manly citizen, comes in fine contrast to the father, so greatly injured and outraged as to kill the being he adores, to save her from a fate too dreadful to contemplate. The self-devotion of the avenging justice carry the character off the common stage of life into the region of pure passion, and the actor rises with it ; the passions are poetry, and all poetry has wings and soars " aloft incumbent on the dusky air" above the prosaic earth. This it is that tests the power of greatness, and herein Mr. Brooke excels. The unsophistical heart feels it, the highest cultivated minds acknowledge this just idealisation. Nothing could equal the energy and force with which Mr. Brooke delivered the following lines : "---- Play not with me I Provoke me not, ! Equivocate, and lo ! Thou sportest with fire !" 4S:,c. The effect was tremendous. Then again, what in the present day can we compare with the beauty, tender ness, and pathos of the following passage in the last " Virgi n i a ! Is it a ♦oice, or nothing, answers me ? I hear a sound so fine, there's nothing li ves 'Twixt it and silence."— " Alas ! she is NOT here !" - - Were we to go on picking out passages we fear we should extract the whole part ; we, therefore, say, in conclusion, that the conception of the part was the finest we have ever seen ; we say this with the full recollection of all the actors who have played the part. The play was acted fairly throughout. Miss Cath cart played Virginia very prettily ; Mrs. Belton did ample justice to the small part of Servia ; and Appius Claudius met with an efficient representative in Mr. George Bennett. The house was filled in every part, and at the rising of the curtain not a seat was vacant. The interior of the theatre was very tastefully fitted up with the flags of England, France, and Turkey. Pre viously to the tragedy, the National Anthem and the " Marseillaise" were successively played, and encored with enthusiasm, the audience all standing during the execution of each national air. The words, " The foe ! the foe !—come on, charge on him !—drive him back, or die !"—by Mr; Brooke as Virginias, produced another tremendous anti-Russian demonstration.

This bankrupt nag described as of Theobald's-road, ironmonger, and to-day was appointed fur consideration of his certificate. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the third class. The solicitor to the assignees applied for an allowance to the bankrupt, who had rendered great assistance in carrying on the business for the benefit of the estate. His Honour refused the application, and said the assignees were bound to do the best for the estate, and gained a benefit in the dividends. It was not a case in which they need have employed the bankrupt. lIIPORTANT QUESTION AS TO SURBENDEIL-EIPARTE Mr. Lawrance made an application for a b,7.ukrupt to surrender under the following circumstances. It ap peared he surrendered in the first instance, and then entered into an arrangement with the creditors to pay a composition of 6s. Sd. in the pound, with a view of ob taining a supersedeas, aud, therefore, be did not surren der on the 42d day as required by the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act. An application was made to Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, who adjourned the case, but would not place a memorandum on the proceed ings that there was any lawful excuse, and the bankrupt was therefore left without protecti on, although he had paid the official assignee his charges and all the creditors 6s. Bd. in the pound ; but nevertheless he was liable to be indicted for felony in not surrendering. But as it was evident that the bankrupt had acted under an erroneous opinion he did not think any jury would convict. vv His Honour said that if an indictment was preferred the jury would have no alternative, as a legal offence had been committed, but the circumstances would no doubt weigh as to the sentence. Mr. Lawrance submitted his Honour could act under the old act which enabled him to take the surrender. His Honour ultimately said that on a satisfactory affidavit being made be would issue an order. WIGAN ELECTION. The election of a member of Parliament for this borough, rendered necessary by the death of Mr. Thick nesse, its late representative, commenced ye , terday morning, when the nomination took place in front of the Moot-hall. The candidates were Mr. Joseph Acton (Liberal) and Mr. Francis Sharpe Powell, who was un derstood to represent the Conservative interest. A ♦ery large crowd had assembled, but the proceedings passed off in a comparatively orderly manner. The MAYOR having formally opened the proceedings. Mr. REECE BEVAN proposed Mr. Joseph Acton, late Mayor of Wigan, as a tit and proper person to represent the borough. Mr. EDWARD EVANS seconded the nomination of Mr. Acton. Mr. THOMAS WOOD proposed Mr. Francis Sharpe Powell to supply the vacancy in the representation. Mr. DALGLHISH seconded the nomination of Mr. Powell. Mr. Acton and Mr. Powell having addressed the electors, a show of hands was taken, when there ap peared a large majority fur Mr. Powell. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr, Acton, which will take place to-day. Thanks to the Mayor terminated the proceedings. 113 k 1001 100 1 MARKET NE IVS-(TII1S DAY.) HAY MARKETS.

THE SALE OF THE GILTStUR-STREET COMPTER.—The sale of the Giltspur-street Compter, which was com pleted on Friday last by Messrs. Pullen and Son, realised to the Corporation a sum of about 3,5001. Among the materials were above 3,000,000 bricks, between 6,000 end 7,000 sheets of copper. many tons of lead, &c., The stone front of the principal building in Giltspur street, which included the governor's house and the officers' department. went for 1251., and the bricks of the same produced 5761. The copper m the roof wasi knocked down for 1751. The remaining portion, which included the walls surrounding the prison, are to be dis posed of in a short time. Nothing has as yet been de termined upon in reference to the site, for which the authorities of Christ Hospital are still in treaty. The demolition of the gaol is being rapidly proceeded with. DEPARTURES FROM THE PORT OF LONDON.—The do partures from the port of London for the Australian colonies during the week h +ve comprised eight vessels — four to Sydney with an aggregate burden of 2,887 tons, two to New Zealand with an aggregate burden of 1,133 tons, one to Adelaide of 869 ton., and one to Melbourne of 741 tone. Their total capacity was consequently 5,627 tons. The rates of freight exhibit a tendency to flatness. ANOTHER QCICK PASSAGE TO MELBOURNE BT THE MERMAID, WHITE STAR PACKET —A letter was received in Liverpool yesterday from Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson, owners of the White Star line of Australian packets, announcing the arrival of their clipper Merm rtaid on her first passage in 74 days I , q hours from po to port. The Mermaid sailed two tides before the Red Jacket, and has thus made an extraordinary passage. Although sailing before that ship, the Red Jacket was towed further out of the channel, which gave her some advantae. In 13 consecutive days, according to a letter from Captain Devey of the Mermaid, she ran the distance of 3,206 nautical u nites, thus establishing her as next in :peed to the Red Jacket, undoubtedly the fastest ship afloat, as shown by her recent splendid per formance. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Last night this elegant theatre opened for the season, under the direction of Mrs. Seymour, and, if we can judge from the commencement of that direction, the future will be carried on with spirit, and, we hope, com plete success. The performances commenced with an original drama in five acts by Messrs. Tom Taylor and Charles Reade, entitled The King's Rival. The scene is laid in the time of Charles 11., and the interest of the play turns upon the rivalry between that monarch and the Duke of Richmond for the love of the beautiful Miss Stewart,- one of the queen's maids of honour. Upoo the whole the drama is cleverly written though we think it would have acted closer and better if it had been in three acts instead of five. A sad mistake, to use a mild term, it was to introduce one of the characters in the thircrith suffering from the plague. The expressions of disappro val were very marked, and 'the effect nearly jeopardised the success of the play. The fifth act, however, which is written with great spirit, and contains some telling situa tions, brought down the curtain with decided applause. The part of Charles 11. was admirably played by Mr. Geo. Vandenhoff. Mr. T. Mead's Richmond was a meritorious performance. Mr. Stuart's Major Wild man was excellent ; the mistake of the author in any other hands but his would have proved decidedly fatal. The gossiping clerk of the acts, Samuel Pepys, was sus tained by Mr. J. L. Toole, a son of the well-known toast master, who, having achieved histrionic laurels at Dub lin as a low comedian, made, on this occasion, a pro mising debut in London. He is not wanting in vivacity, and is likely, in the eccentric line to which he has ad dre.sed himself, to be an acquisition to the house. The dignity and earnestness of Miss Glyn as Frances Stewart, and the sprightliness of Mrs. Seymour as Nell Gwynne, were of immense service to the success of the piece. As far as costumes and decorations are concerned, everything has been done for the new piece, and several of the scenes are pleasing as tableaux. The miss en scene gives evidence of the excellent taste of the directress. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The comedy of Born to Good Luck was performed at this theatre last evening, the principal character, Paddy O'Rafferty, being undertaken by Mr. Hudson, who sup ported it with his usual humour and spirit. The love scene with the Countess was particularly rich and amus ing, eliciting much laughter and applause. The Spanish dancers, having been re•esgaged fur six nights, were a charming addition to th• evening's amusement, which attracted a very excellent audience. PROSECUTIONS, &C.—From a return recently published by order of the House of Commons, it appears that the gross cost of all prosecutions in England and Wales that took place in the year 1853 amounted to 190,3881. Bs. 7d. Of this sum, 62,3981. le. 7d. was incurred by cases pro secuted on the circuits, 105,4401. 18s. 3d. in counties, and 28,5491. Bs. 9d. in cities and boroughs. The number of prisoners tried on circuits was 4,034 ; in counties, 15,595 ; in cities and boroughs, 23,998. Of these, 19,448 were indicted for felony, and 2,083 for misde meanour. The number of prosecutors amounted to 19,865, and of witnesses to 70,307. This return is stated to be exclusive of the Chester and South \Vales Circuit, of the county of Bucks, and of about a score of cities and boroughs, of which Derby, Salford, and Worcester are the chief. The allowance to prosecutors and wit nesses is stated in most of the returns to be on the scale sanctioned by Lord John Russell when Home Secretary. The sums paid to counsel and solicitors, in respect of prosecutions by the Mint and Post-office, amount to 6,212/. lls. ld. AN EDUCATIONAL MUSEUIL—As schools increase in number and efficiency the necessity for prisons, hospitals, and workhouses will become less. This is surely worth thinking about. The late Educational Exhibition, under the auspices of the Society of Arts, will, we have no doubt, advance the cause of education, both by the im petus given through the medium of the lecture-room, and by affording a knowledge at once of what we have and what we want in educational equipment. All such opportunities of collating information are valuable in the highest degree. They bring before the eyes of the teacher all the varieties of machinery contrived to aid him in his task, and by such comparison enable him to ascertain how and where he may best expend the scanty funds at his disposal, as well as select the works most suitable for ' his peculiar case. More especially would this hold true if the collection were a permanent one, always accessible, properly catalogued, and arranged in such a manner that space could be obtained for the thorough examination of articles exhibited. Therefore, we heartily concur in the suggestion made for rendering this primary effort the nucleus of a regular Educational Museum. It is to be hoped that the exertion which the society is at present making to this end will be so seconded as to insure its success.—The Builder. OPENING OF HADDINGTON CORN EXCHANGE.—On Friday last the new corn exchange of Haddington, of which the foundation was laid about a year ago, was opened by a public banquet. The important weekly grain market in the cuuuty town of East Lothian has hitherto been held in the public streets of the town, the frequenters of it being exposed to all the fluctuations of the weather. The chair was taken by the Marquis of Tweeddale, and the vice-chair by the Right Hon. Lord Elcho. BIBLES AT RAILWAY STATIONS.—The committee of the Edinburgh Bible Society, with the concurrence of the directors of the several lines, have placed large bibles in the waiting rooms at the principal stations of the North British, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Caledonian Railways, for the use of the railway officials and pas sengers waiting the trains. MUNIFICENT BEQUESTS BY A LADY.—Mrs. Wilson, a ' native of Belfast, but 'or many years a resident of Lon don, died of the prevailing epidemic a few days ago, leaving, it is stated, an immense estate of 30,0001. to the poor of her native town, the interest of that large amount to be divided amongst poor widows over 60 years of age, each recipient to have 75 . pe r week. Tilde same lady has also bequeathed 5,000/. to a deaf an t andlibea cfk - ali sis pi 60 days 2 1 n : 11 1 c 1 1 1 se: antalnd- dumb asylum, as also 20,0001. to various charities hab,soli:e London.

Tag CESAREVV/TCH.—During the greater portion of the afternoon Muscovite maintained his position at 11. to 2 taken ; towards the close, howe►er, 6 to 1 was laid to 501., the layer offering to go on. D.O. would ha►s been backed for some money at 16 to 1, but the odds were not obtainable. At nearly the last moment 16 and 14 to 1 were taken to small sums, 500 to SO two or three times, and 800 to 50 twice, were taken about Calamus. Bairownie was "in full retreat ;" 1,000 to 10 was offered against him. Ptolemy also gave way ; at the conclusion be was nominally at 500 to 10. 1,000 to 40 was taken about Bracken, and the same odds to some money about Poodle ; 22 and 20 to 1 about Indian Waraior. Rattle, a new favourite, was introduced at 25 to 1, and with an effect which quickly advanced him to 20 to 1 ; he was also backed for the Cambridgeshire at 25 to 1, but the preponderance of favour was clearly enough on the side of the Cesarewitcb. Rodo•meli was supported in good quarters at 33 and 30 to 1 ; 10 to 1 was betted in poneys and fifties against lots of 25 each, the layer, of course, having " the pick." CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES. The principal investments were on Early Bird ; froa 14 to 1, taken to about 2001., he rose to 12 to 1 taken. DERBY. Griecuins Esuriens was nominally at 9 to 1, St. Hubert at 14 to 1, 15 to 1 wanted. Oulston, Rifleman, Lord of the Isles, De Clare, received good support at 1000 to 60 each. 1000 to 50 was taken about The Cruiser, 1000 to 25 each Wild Dayrell and Westminster, 2000 to 40 Affghan, and 3000 to 45 colt by Melbourne out of Fausta.

There are some facts, connected with the Crimea: expedition, upon which the journalists, who attribute to them unreal and impossible incursions into the Do brudscha touch very gingerly. Marshal St. Arnand and Lord Raglan sent an account of their successful landing to Omer Pasha as soon as to Constantinople and their own Governments. This haste to acquaint the commander of the Turkish army on the Danube seems to imply a previous understanding between him and the allied commanders, in virtue of which the success of our arms in the Crimea was to determine the time and mode of his advance upon the retreating Russians. In other words, it would appear that the movement upon Sebastopol was to be combined with a movement upon the Bessarabian frontier. Connected with this combat's tins we have another trait of Austrian duplicity. A few days ago we re-published from the Parisian Moniteur a statement to the effect that instructions had been sent from Vienna to General Hess, by electric telegraph, to the effect that he was to permit the Turkish troops to occupy Galatz and Ibraila, with a view to ulterior op.- rations against the Russians. We now learn, by a letter from the Bucharest correspondent, that before this tele graphic message reached that city the Austrian authoris ties had taken upon them to interdict the entry of the Turks into Galata and Ibraila. Before the Austrian army of occupation entered Wallachia General Hess had been at Vienna, and had had frequent and prolonged interviews with Ministers. It is impossible, therefore, to avoid the conclusion that the first instructions given to General Hess by his Government were to prevent the occupation of Galatz and Ibraila by the Turks, a measure which would effectually have shielded the Rus sians from the pursuit of their enemies ; and that the subsequent instructions to allow the Turks to enter those towns were only extorted from the Vienna Cabi net by urgent remonstrances on the part of France and Enkland. There are ninny circumstances, trifling enough in themselves were it not for their obvious con nexion with these double instructions, that help to bring home to Austria the imputation of still trying to play fast and loose both with Russia and the Allies—to run with the hounds and hold with the hare. There is the pertinacity with which Austria has insisted upon and carried its point of the re-instalment of the wretched trimmer Stirbey as Hospodar of Wallachia. There is the recent publication, by order of General Hess, of his address to the Wallachians in its exceptionable form, with the omission of the important words alleged to have been in the eriginal draft, which restricted the in terference of Count Coronini with the Wallachian au thorities in matters connected with the army of occupa tion. There is the suspicious attempt of a number of the i their Austrian friends officershetßu to cross ssia the Russian camp in regulations. There is the glad eagern ess with rhich the Turkish defiance lines of military and visit creatures of Austria assumed Omer Pacha s visit to Rustchuk, for the purpose of inspecting his troops ther e , to be the first stage of his j ourne y into the interior of Turkey, and their premature announcement that he was on his way to Varna. Every brings foith new reasons for s us p ecting the imbecile and Jesuiti cal Government at Vienna iof a wish toplay boot's" new day th e momentous game now n progress in the East. Upon what other ground can the unheard-of an d anoma l ous arrangemen t be explained that the officer ostensibly second in command to General Hess is authorised to de cide in cases of difficulty what course shall he pursued by his ostensible chief ? In such circumstance every indication that the Western Powers are aware of the duplicity. of Austria, and keep a strong bridle-hand upon tques tionable s s a o l l t y d c i p o l i n a u t l e e s h t o o n b e y e it s skittishness , though their language respecting this y t e d na w ng i t h h t a all t. i are mp e r a e g g e n r a l To this class of indic a ti ons appear' to belong the prompt and cordial communication to Omer Paella of the suc cessful landing in the Crimea as a guide for his own ulterior movements, a n d th e ti me ly p res sure by which Austria has been compelled to rescind its original orders to prevent the occupation of Galata and Ibraila by the Turkish troops.—[The visit of the Austrian Ambassador to M. Drouyn de l'Huy's at Paris to congratulate him on the success of the French arms is another piece of hypocrisy.] THE CIVIL SERVICE.—General Post. Office.—Mr. Row land Hill has selected Mr. John L.

RISE IN THE PRICE OF BRElD.—Generally throughout the metropolis yesterday an advance of a halfpenny took place in the price of th e 41b. loaf, in the three qualities —best, second, and third. The price of the first quality is now ; second do., 71d. ;. and the third do., 60. Some of the bakers, however, did not alter their figures yesterday, being e o fortunate all to retain largo stooks of flour at the late receding rates.
