MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 5,000 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed without change in tone or prices. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 170 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 6id., 100 Egyptian at 6d to 6101., 150 Sea Island at is. to 2s. 10d., and 1,500 Surat at 3d. to 41d. per lb. Railway shares were dull and heavy. Accounts from Nishegorod, in Russia, state that the fair of that place was well frequented this sea . son both by buyers and sellers, Russian and foreign. The tea brought from China by the Russian cara vans sold well. In one week the quantity of goods sold represented the sum of 8,000,000 francs, and in the same short space of time merchandise to the amount of 17 millions of francs was forwarded to the interior of the empire. Government had paid great attention to the improvement of the roads, and the navigation of the Volga had been greatly extended. Thus far, therefore, the war has not had a particularly injurious effect, and it is even probable that the obstacles to business at the outports may have benefitted this great internal mart. By telegraph we learn the arrival of the steamer Baltic from New York, with advices of the 16th inst. The amount of specie on board was 1,255,508 dollars. The Money market at New York was easier, and there was a more cheerful feeling in business circles. Exchange on London 109 to 109. i. The commercial reciprocity treaty with Canada had been ratified by the President. In breadstuffs less was doing and prices drooped. By the electric medium there is intelligence of August 19th from Calcutta, August sth from Can ton, and corresponding dates from other places ; besides Sydney advices of July 21st, Melbourne of July 25th, and Adelaide of the 29th. In India and Australia trade is reported dull, but the season of the year would account for this. Gold at Port Philip' was 41. per ounce. The exchange at Shang hai was Gs. Id., and at Canton 4s. 11d. per dollar. Information of a painful character has just been received at Loyd's, viz., the loss of the splendid steamer City of Philadelphia from Liverpool. She stranded at Chance Cove, Cape Race, on the 7th inst. Her crew and passengers were landed at St. John's, Newfoundland. She had on board a large and valuable cargo shipped from Liverpool. There are 70,0001. insured on the steamer, and the cargo is likewise heavily insured at Lloyd's. Being of iron, it is apprehended that there will be no great salvage made. Comparative statement of passengers arrived at the port of Quebec to the Bth of September, 1853 and 1854 . • From whence. 1853. 1854. Increase.

There has been a slight increase of firmness in the English Stock Market, arising principally from the improvement in the foreign exchanges, but the business doing is still very restricted. Consols have been 95 to 951 for transfer,. and 95 for ac count. Exchequer Bills continue at 6s. to Os. prem.•• The Bonds have been 99- for those to ex pire iu 1858, and 992 4 for those of 1859. The decline in Turkish Scrip continues, and the contractors.will find some difficulty in getting off the larga amounts they reserved for themselves, unless they feed the market very discreetly, the members of the " House" and the speculative pub. lie not coming forward to give it support. The first price was 2i, and subsequently there have been bargains at 22 premium. Portuguese 4 per Cents. have been quoted 401. Peruvian 4 per Cents. have been at 70i to 702, The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to q ; Mexican, 24i to 25 ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto 4- 1 2 • per Cents., 87 to 89 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18 to 184 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 371 to 38 ; ditto Certificates, 5 to 52 ; ditto Passive, 4 to 4 . The Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway Company announces that the amount of interest payable on the respective certificates is as follows s. d. "On a certificate of 5 shares 1 3 10 do. 10 do. do. 20 do. do. 50 do. "The directors take this opportunity to state, that about, one -half the line was open ed for traffic on he 3d July, and nearly the whole (so as to secure both the pas senger and merchandise thro u g h tra ffi c between Ant werp and Rotterdam) is expected to be opened in No vember next. The weekly receipts (which have much exceeded the calculation of the directors) may be seen by any sh are holders at the offices o f the com p any." The following circular has been issued, under date the 13th instant, by the East Lancashire Rail way Comp a ny " Refer r i ng to the suppleme ntal Re p ort, submitted to the ext ra ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company, held on the 16th August, I am instructed by the directors to inform you that they have a g ain met the Lancashire and Yorkshire board on the subject of the proposed amalgamation ; and they find that the views of that board differ so materially from those of the East Lancashire directors, as to the object and effect of the sth clause of the agreement, that the negotiations for an amalgamation of the two companies are new at an end. " Under these circumstances, the East Lancashire directors have instructed me to state that the adjourned extraordinary general meeting of the company, intended to have been held on the 25th instant, will not take place." In the English Railway Market there has been no general improvement, and prices vary accord ing to the particular circumstances of each line, though flatness is more generally prevalent. The foreign undertakings have been steady. Mines are dull. Great Nugget Vein are lower, as the Sydney accounts overland report that there will be no dividend. The banks are quiet. The Crystal Palace are firmer. BRITisEI FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES ( Front the Oficial List. Buziness dono. 3 per Cent.

The Grand Duke was present. Cardinal Pontesia, in giving his benediction to the works pronounced a very edifying discourse. Commander Manelli then addressed the Grand Duke, and was replied to by the President of the Council, who pointed out the great importance of the works intended to protect those vast and fertile plains from any future inundation, at the same time they would give great eclat to the Government of the reigning Duke." SPORTING NOTES. FROM NEWMARKET. The first of the series or October Meetings was in augurated right merrily ; the air was clear and fragrant, and an unclouded sun shone with true autumnal bril liancy. The quickening genial influence of the atmosphere disposed all persons to enjoyment, and the interest of the sport was pleasantly sustained to the end. The proceed. ings commenced at half-past twelve o'clock, and were brought to a termination at half-past four. They were, however, marked by few incidents of prospective importance. The encounter between Dirk flatteraick and Rambling Katie was, perhaps, the most interesting event of the day. 6to 4 was betted on Dirk, but his partisans were not remarkably "fond." He certainly appeared winning within a few strides of the chair ; he ran the strongest, but Katie ran the longest, and after a rousing race defeated him by the shortest of short heads. Indeed so " close a touch" was it that neither jockey knew which won. This performance is by many persons regarded as furnishing a decisive proof as to the comparative insignificance of Dirk Hatteraick's Derby pretensions ; but although I do not fancy that in Dirk Hatteraick Lord Eglinton will find either a Van Tromp or a Flying Dutchman, yet I believe that in him he possesses a horse likely to winter well and train on to a high degree of improvement. The Eastern Counties Handicap brought out only ten runners. Alembic was made the favourite, and but for the badness of his start some people were inclined to think he would have carried the "straw" in triumph. Old Rowley, however, was "turned loose," and won without an effort. It will be seen by a reference to The Sun of Monday night, that in the "lot" which I indicated to be favourably handicapped, were the first, second, and third horses. Alembic made ample " compensation " for not winning the Handicap by carrying off the Triennial Stakes. This achievement, however, scarcely satisfied his party, and he was again brought out to do battle for the Grand Duke Michael Stakes. Although his two former per formances were calculated to " take the steel out of him," yet he proved a troublesome opponent to the Trapper, and was with difficulty.stalled off. Alembic has evidently regained somewhat of his two-year-old form, and his chance for the Cambridgeshire must not be slightingly regarded. In accordance with my anticipation, Clotilde won the Hopeful Stakes. The betting on the events decided to day was very limited, and speculation on the Cesare witch and Cambridgeshire was at a stand still. Now for a dip into the future. All persons seem agreed that Bonnie Morn and Rifleman will meet on Thursday for the Triennial Stakes for two-yrs-old, but their opinions as to the relative chances of these horses are widely different. That Bonnie Morn has not yet been pitted against animals of a very high order of merit is unquestionable, yet his victories have always been so easily achieved as to warrant the belief in the superior stamp of his pretensions. Rifleman, however, has twice successfully encountered large fields composed of " youngsters" of much mark and likelihood, albeit he defeated them with apparent difficulty. In support of this assertion I may merely refer to his performance at York. Still he will prove a dangerous antagonist to Bonnie Morn, but I shall scarcely be pre pared to see him vanquish the " gallant grey." The Jockey Club is, it is wllispered, about to astonish the sporting world by passing some xew resolutions for the better conduct and maintenance of horse-racing. Several abuses connected with the turf will, it is uader stood, be inquired into, and, if possible, mitigated or reformed altogether. So disgusted are certain members of the club with the specimen of handicapping recently published, and for which they are in a measure responsible, that I believe a resolution will be moved for the appointment of a " public handicapper," a resolu tion which will, I trust, be carried acd immediately put into operation. Like the puddle of foul water, the more people stir the Acrobat affair the more offensive it becomes. A. certain gallant admiral is, it is reported, threatened with an action for libel by John Scott, for writing a letter t o Lord Derby about the proceedings at Doncaster, and expressing his opinion in it with more of the freedom and bluntness of a sailor than the reservation and cau tion of a lawyer. A FRESH MAN. N ewmarket, Tuesday Night: OUTRAGES IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND.-1 reward of 201. has been offered by the constabulary for the disco very of the writer or persons concerned in the sending of a Rockite letter to Mrs. W. Gage, informing her of a conspiracy to shoot W. C. Gage, Esq., J.P. A reward of 201. has also been offered by the constabulary for the discovery of the parties concerned in posting a threat ening notice of a Rockite character on the gate post of Michael King, Esq ., _ Dungiven. F EAGER FOR THE RAY.—In a letter from one of the 79th Highlanders published in the Kelso Chronicle, the writer says, "I earnestly wish we were somewhere out of this ; for I believe there is neither luck nor grace in this country. Our men have grown so wicked at the delay, that you can scarcely hear a pleasant word going. Warhawk' with the Russians, if they can get at them. I believe plenty will throw down their fireloelte and 'fist' them.", BANKRUPTCY COURT.--:(THIS (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RR CLARK AND INGLIS. These bankrupts were described as of King's-cross, Battle-bridge, drapers, and to-day was appointed for their last examination. Tho balance sheet prepared by Mr. Pettis, .Basingball Chambers, commencing Nov., 1853, and ending Jane, 1854, shows debtor to creditors, 2,2271. ss. lid. ; capi tal, 3041. ; assets, good debts, 401. 195. 10d. ; doubtful, 1421. lle. 3d. ; property, 6761. ss. 3d. ; losses on trading, 511. 17s. 10d. ; losses (on sale of fixtures, fittings, &c., cost 4501..125. 3d., estimated to realise 2001, ; on stock which cost 8881 19s. 9d., realised 5201.; on furniture, 251. is., &c. ; total, 6561. 4s. 3d. Mr. Read was solicitor for the assignees, and called the attention of his Honour to the memorandum on the proceedings, from which it would appear that the last examination had been adjourned on the 10th of August last, on the ground that the accounts were not satisfac tory, and although they bad been amended! were still unsatisfactory ; ho should, therefore, examine the books as to all the points. The case was not called on till half-half-past twelve, and it was likely to last some hours. IN RS HARRIS. This bankrupt was described as of Kingston, iron monger, and this was a meeting for the choice of assig nees. From the preliminary statement prepared by Mr. Pettie, it appears that the debts amount to about 2,5001. Assets about 1,0001., principally stock. MARLBOROUGH-STREET-(THIS DAY.) CRUELTY TO A HOREE.—John Dyer, a cabman, waa charged before Mr. Bingham with cruelly ill-treating and torturing a horse. Sergeant Burton, 82 D, deposed that, about 5 o'clock this morning, he was on duty in Oxford-street, near the end of Cumberland-street, when he heard the sound of heavy blows proceeding from the direction of the Edge ware-road, and on going to the spot he saw the defend ant standing on the foot-board of his cab belabouring his horse most unmercifully with his .whip. Witness asked him what he was about, when he replied that the horse was a little testy and would not go. The defendant then_ struck the horse with more violence than at first, and seeing that the poor animal was in a state of ex haustion and suffering, he took the prisoner to the sta tion, and the horse and cab to the Greenyard, where, on examining the former, he found blood trickling down its thighs. In defence, prisoner said the horse was rather touchy, and would not go, and in order to make it go he just struck it lightly with his whip. Burton produced the whip, the thong of which was tied in several large knots, which appeared to be clotted with blood. Mr. Bingham commented in strong terms upon the gross cruelty practised by the prisoner in torturing his horse, and as a warning to him for the future, he (Mr. Bingham) should fine him 40s. or :a month's imprison ment. The defendant not being provided with the money, was then locked up. EAST INDIA COMPANY. QUARTERLY ANDHIS DAY SPECIAL MEETINGS T. This morning the ordinary quarterly and a special meeting of the proprietors in this company was held at the East India House, in Leadenhall-street—Major Oliphant, chairman of the Board of Directors, pre siding. The CHAIRMAN said, he had to acquaint the proprie tors that the papers relating to the company, laid before Parliament last session, were now before the Court. . • The titles of these papers were read by the SECRETARY. The CHAIRMAN said he had also to lay before the Court, agreeably to the by-laws, a list of superannua tions since the last quarterly Court to officers in Eng land. He had also to say that a copy of Sir George Clerk's paper on Scinde was laid upon the table of the proprietors' reading-room on the 7th of July. Mr. LEWIN complained that although the paper had been laid upon the table, it had since been removed. It was not yet printed. The CHAIRMAN replied that the paper was in course of being printed, and would soon be ready for delivery. Certain papers were laid upon the table relative to Hayleybury and Addiscombe colleges. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been made spe cial for the purpose of submitting for adoption the alter ations in the by-laws of the company, recommended iu the report from the committee of by-laws, which was laid before the General Court on the 21st of June. These alterations, which had reference to the payment and election of directors, the penalties to he enforced for violation of the laws by directors, the supply of vacancies, and other matters bearing upon the general management of the company, were agreed to after some discussion, in which Mr. Jones, Mr. Lewin, and other proprietors took part. The latter gentleman complained of the course which the directors pursued of periodically recommending, by advertisements, persons to be elected directors, and moved an amendment upon one of the clauses to that effect. It met, however, with very little encouragement, and was negatived on a show of hands. Mr. JONES wished that all papers should be laid be fore the proprietors without the necessity of asking for them. He thought that not only parliamentary but all other papers relating to the company might be laid before the proprietors. The CHAIRMAN said that was the case already. Mr. JONES moved for a list of the confiscated estates, with their respective annual values, of the chiefs whose property has been absorbed by Government since the annexation of the Punjaub. The honourable proprietor made a lengthened speech, and concluded by calling upon the directors for full information upon the subject to which his motion referred, and also for an explana tion on what conditions the arms had ibeen taken from the inhabitants. Mr. LEWIN seconded the motion, and considered that the production of the information would be of especial value. He believed that the terms on which the an nexation of many of the estates had been made were marked by the grossest and most infamous injustice that was ever perpetrated. He believed that the cir cumstances connected with the Koh-i-aoor diamond were most disgraceful to the parties alike who presented and accepted it. (Disapprobation.) The CHAIRMAN said, the directors were of opinion that there was no necessity for the production of the papers for which Mr. Jones had moved. . - The motion was put to the meeting, and negatived. Some notices of motion for the next meeting were given ; and the Court adjourned. LYCEUM THEATRE. HENRY RUSSELL'S ENTERTAINMENT. The return of autumn brings as Henry Russell at the Lyceum, with his racy descriptions of transatlantic life, and his delightful melodies, " familiar to the ear as household words." The present year is no exception to the rule, and Mr. Russell is nightly engaged in sending hundreds of audiences to their homes cracking their sides with laughter at his jokes, or weeping over the pathetic incidents of his sentimental ballads. " Cheer, boys, cheer," and the " Ship on fire," are again in the ascendant; and it would almost seem that the more they are sung by their clever composer the more they are welcomed by enthusiastic bursts of applause. Pass along the Strand any evening after ten o'clock, and you will have proof positive that the popularity of neither of these famous songs nor of Russell's nigger melodies is an the wane. The strains of one or other are certain to be heard above the din of cab wheels or the roar of om nibus traffic, and a lusty " Cheer, boys, cheer," is cer tain to greet you at almost every turn. The subject of Russell's songs appeals to the hearts of the multitude ; they stir up one's better feelings, reminding one now of the comforts of home, and anon of the brilliant prospects which far distant lands are opening up to industry and perseverance ; that being so, who can wonder that they should be in every child's month or on the keys of every street organ l But their charm is greatly heightened by the melodramatic style in which they are sung by Mr. Russell ; in his hands they assume the form of dramas abounding in startling incident and replete with highly-wrought characters, whose peculiarities are vividly brought out by the tact of the performer or the skill of the musician. Henry Russell, in fact, is a play in him self, and nobody who desires to-get a correct insight into the life of the negro or the career of the emigrant can do better than pay him a visit at the Lyceum. SURREY THEATRE. We observe that this renowned comic dancer has an nounced his annual benefit for Tuesday next, the 3d of October, at the Surrey Theatre, on which occasion he intends to treat his patrons to a rare display of his pe culiar abilities on the light fantastic toe. Flexmora's performances have repeatedly received the approval of the London and Paris critics, and perhaps it is enough to mention that fact to prove that he is entitled to the patronage of the play-going public ; but in addition to his own exertions to gratify his friends and admirers, he will be ably assisted by Madam Auriol, the popular danseuse, while the whole strength of the Surrey com pany will be called forth in melodrama, farce, and con cert. Let those, therefore, who delight in eerio-comic dancing avail themselves of this opportunity to gratify their taste, for it has been well said of Flexmore, that "he walketh not, ho leapeth ; hey sitteth not, ho apringeth ; he resteth not, ho rolleth,—a ball, a bowl, a hoop, a shuttlecock, such is Flexmore ; aye, an air-blown entrechett." LIVEUPOOL, Tuesday.—The new Cunard screw steam ship Jura, Captain Wickman, arrived in the Mersey this morning from the Clyde in 131 hours from the clock light in the Clyde to the Bell Buoy. She is intended for the North American trade, and is advertised to sail from this port on the 11th proximo for Boston and New I York. The clipper•ships Spray of the Ocean, Captain Slaughter, and Lincluden Castle, Captain Rees, sailed today for Melbourne, the former with 50, and the latter 1 with 270 passengers. THE CAMP AT BOULOGNE. 13ouLoaNE, Sept. 26.—The Empress arrived by special train at five o'clock yesterday, and was received at the station by the Emperor. The Guides, the Garde Im perials, and the Cent Gardes were in attendance as an escort, and all the customary honours paid on such occa sions were duly observed. A large number of the inha bitants of Boulogne had assembled, and gave her Ma -1 jesty a very loyal welcome. Among them was a kind of deputation of fishmongers' wives in their characteristic dresses, the leader bearing a magnificent bouquet, obvi ously intended as an offering, with something very like a petition slyly inserted in it. Those who are well acquainted with the features of in the Empress say th at she has apparently benefited much A health by he r recent sojourn in . the seath of France. mid the virats of the spectAtors.she was escorted to the Imperial Hotel, the Emperor riding beside her carriage. Having actually seen the troopsmarch out of camp this mor n i ng at six o'clock, and d proceed Desvres, I am a b le to state positively that the great inar4oeuvres 'so lo ng ta l ked of willay positively commence tr, m -morrow. B ow l ong theyno continue,() or what a able the exact nat ure o f them may be, to tell, but it i s something to know at l.:set see to and where they are to begin. The Emperor, it is under stood, reaches Dosvres about ten o'clock to-morrow, and there and at Escoueilles the troops will bivouac to night. They carry with them considerably more bread than on the occasion of the sham fight at Marquise, and it is said are prepared to remain out for five days. Beside his kit, tent-cloth, and pole, blanket. and other accoutrements, the French soldier also carries a large loaf of bread, which is made of such a shape as to be easily strapped on the back of. his knap sack. The thick crust protects it against being impreg nated with dust on the march, and it is a wise precau tion which gives every man the ready means of recruit ing his strength with the staff of life when be feels him self exhausted and hungry. Our troops have their pro visions when on the march in haversacks—a plan which may have some advantages, but hardly admits of the same quantity being carried. The bread, too, is well protected against rain by the overhanging tent cloth. While referring to this subject it may not be out of place to observe that in the French service the weight of the pack is thrown more upon the shoulders and less upon the back than ours. The British soldier has his knapsack fastened on him by straps passing under his armpits, so that there is always a great strain upon the play of his chest, whereas the Frenchman's load is eased by straps passing down on either side, and attached to the waistbelt. He, however, is, as I have already more than once observed, very heavily weighted, and, what is even more objectionable, his equipment is qumbersome as well as oppressive. With a discipline which has hitherto required men to act in lines three deep, this must be a serious disadvantage, for the tendency of it is obviously to prevent the rear ranks from taking steady aim, and to expose those in front to casualties from the fire of those behind. The march of the divisions from their camps this morning was a sight worth seeing. Before sunrise had finally dispelled the grey light of dawn they had foamed in extended lines upon the heights facing the sea from Honvault and Wimereux to 'Ambleteuse. Through the fresh clear air came the roll of the drum and the bugle call, while the eye could faintly distinguish in front and rear officers superintending the preparations for departure, and laggards falling late into their places. Then the sun rose brightly over the horizon, giving promise of splendid weather as he shot his rays against the " night cloud" still brooding over the face of the Channel. Shortly after six o'clock the order to march was given, and regiment after regiment, headed by its band and portentous drum-major, moved grandly away. In little more than half an hour the long lines of huts were de serted, and 30,000 men had taken the field. Let sober minded civilians denounce it as they may, the pageantry of military life possesses an immense attractiveness. An army in motion, with its music, banners, and forests of glistening bayonets, appeals 'strongly to the dullest ima gination. Though we know how often,it Is used to op press liberty; we must' also recognise in it the great symbol of governing power, and the chief guarantee for the maintenance of order and stability in human affairs. • As an instance of the care with which the French army is perfected in its training, it may be mentioned that at six o'clock this morning, on the sands between Honvault and Boulogne, there was a karge party of the Garde Imperiale busily engaged in target practice. This special corps, revived by the Emperor, and now in pro cess of organisation, has a very fine appearance. The men are tall, stately fellows, and are well set off by their uniform, which, except, of course, the trousers, closely resembles that worn by the force in the time of Napo leon I.' The shako is of a much more military shape than that of our Guards, but the white braid ornament rather spoils it. There are about 800 grenadiers of the Garde Imperiale here at present ; the tents were at first pitched close to the jetty on the Capecure side of the harbonr, but this situation was found to be un healthy, and within the ' last few days they have been removed. The Guides form another portion of the force here, having a special character from being more immediately attached to the person of the Empe ror. They also are a picked corps, and are splendidly mounted—for the most part on English horses. What with the fine appearance of the men, their handsome uniforms, and careful equipuient in every respect, they arc the crack cavalry regiment in the French service. The band is said to be the best in France. Of all the corps d'elitc, however, in this army, the Cent Gardes are undoubtedly the most shusiry. ,In constituting them the Emperor probably had an eye to something beyond their mere theatrical effect, as a part of his escort; for, being made tip'of soldiers taken 'from the ranks, with very high pay, the intention, no doubt, was to provide desirable appointments for men of good conduct, and to whom nature had also given a stately and imposing ex terior. The troops of the line, however, do not at pre sent look upon the new corps in that light, and never was a beautiful woman in a ballroom regarded with fiercer jealousy by her own sex as she flashed along in the pride of her charms than these fine fellows are where ever they appear. It is stated that one of them omitted the other day to give the usual salute to a fiery little Chasseur, and the consequence was a duel, in which the latter at the second thrust mortally wounded his stalwart opponent. The Cent Gardes have a new carbine, load ing at the breach, which I have not yet seen, but which is said to be a most formidable weapon. Undoubtedly that is the next great improvement to be made in the manufacture of firearms. In the present state of me chanical art there ought to be no insurmountable diffi culty about it, and it would enable a soldier to fire five or six times as quickly as he can do at present. Load frig at the muzzle and the necessity for using a long ram rod are barbarisms which it is high time that our gun makers should get rid of entirely Aen manufacturing for the troops of their own country. THE LAST AUSTRIAN CIRCULAR. The Berlin correspondent of the Independance Beige, under date of 23d Septembei, gives the following details respecting the last Austrian cir cular of the 14th of September. He says : "The despatch commences with a retrospective coup d'ceil upon the state of the negotiations, especially in the Diet, about the 17th of August last, and adverts to the declaration of M. de Gortechakoff on the evacua tion of the Principalities. "As annexed documents, it mentions the reply of Austria to the refusal-note of Russia on the 26th of August (I believe that Austria maintains in that reply tip demand of the four guarantees), and one to Count Esterhazy at St. Petersburg, on the language which the Count must hold under actual circumstances. " After having declared that Austria, before explain ing her policy, wished to wait till Prussia had made known her views, the Circular professes the profound regret that Austria has experienced at the refusal of Russia to grant the demanded guarantees. "As regards Austria, she cannot abandon those guarantees, but she does not disavow thereby the bear ing of the last declaration of Russia, insomuch as they have warded off the immediate danger of a conflict be tween the two empires ; nor can the political significa tion of the evacuation of the• Principalities be contested. " However, Russia has not offered anything de finitive ; she has not given any guarantees for the future. Austria has not bound herself to action against Russia in view of a final decision ; she is still free in her reso lutions. "Russia had at one time made promises (for in stance, not to cross the Danube), which the change of circumstances doubtless did not allow her to keep She might thus again be brought to wish to seize a pledge. " The question might be discussed to know whether the treaty of April 20 is not still perfectly applicable to the present situation. Bat the despatch declares that it will not enter into that point, nor examine for the mo ment what ought to be done if Austria should undertake coercive measures. " Prussia has promised Austria to assist her with all her power in case Austria should be attacked upon her own territory by Russia without her having attacked the latter. Prussia has expressed the conviction that, in thatcase, the confederation also would hasten to give active succour to Austria. " Supporting itself on these considerations, Austria proposed• to the Cabinet of Berlin to provoke the Diet to make the declaration. " That even should the actual state of things, after the evacuation of the Principalities not imply the neces sity of the immediate mobilisation of the armed forces of the Confederation, that state of things should, however, afford the occasion of stating that any fear of an attack by Russia upon the Austrian territory would call the Governments, united by the treaty of the 20th of April, to a common defence. " The despatch, in conclusion, reverts to the four guarantees, the European bearing of which it particu cularly points out, and expects that the Diet will ap prove of the lino of conduct adopted by Austria in this respect. It was to avoid a dissension with Prussia that Austria did not formally demand the insertion of the four points in the treaty of April, although it wa s de sirable that Prussia, the European attitude of which was on the same basis as that of Austria, should place her self on the same footing. " But Prussia warmly recommended the four o. at St. Pet ers b urg, and declared to Franco and England that she w ou ld g i ve them her moral support the future. Th e engagement to obtain the fourguiaran tees by a milit a i y act i on was not taken by Austria count et Prussia her. points .

This is what was long foreseen. On the other hand, she appears to insist with the Diet upon the adoption of a portion only of _the guarantees demanded by the Western Powers, which she has made her own by the exchange of the notes of the Bth August, and which she maintains, as far as she herself is concerned, towards Russia. It remains to be seen what the reply of Prussia will be. It is difficult to admit that the - two Cabinets should not come to an. understanding on so narrow a basis as indicated by the Austria.n - Circular of the 14th September." • DEATH OF LORD DENMAN. Although four years have already elapsed since Lord Denman was compelled by the increasing infirmities of age to withdraw from the Court of Queen's Bench and the office of Lord Chief Justice of England, and although the closing period of his life has removed him from all connexion with public affairs, we cannot allow a man so justly respected in his generation to pass from among us without recording some traces of his public services and his well-earned honours. It may be said of Lord Den. man that he had not the impassioned forensic eloquence of Erskine, nor the tremendous parliamentary energy of Brougham ; he could not display the copious and ani• mated learning of Macintosh, and he did not possess the subtle advocacy of Scarlett—though he took no undis• tinguished part with Romily in the reform of the law, by the removal of its abuses and the mitigation of its severities, he was not his equal at the bar; and, though he fought th e b a t t l e of negro emancipation with a zeal and steadiness inferior to none, Wilberforce and Clark son had a more enthusiastic following in the country, and Buxton and Lushington had more authority in the House of Commons. Upon th e b ench it is impossible to rank the judicial attainments and legal capacity of Lord Denman with the eminent qualities of Parke or Tindal, Lywi• hurst or Campbell.' But if the highest rank be denied him upon an impartial survey of his character and life, it is no mean praise that in this oonstellation of talent he held an undisputed place as a star of the second magnitude. With these contemporaries, with these associates, with these competitors in the race of life, he won, and be deserved to win, a ,fair and honourable prize. For 18 years he filled the honoured seat of the Chief Justice of England, and, if any man excelled hires by the vivacity of their genius or the acuteness of their intellect, none certainly surpassed, or perhaps equalled him, in the moral dignity which gave an appropriate and additional lustre to his office. The personal aspect and outward bearing of Lord Denman in the administra tion of justice were strongly impressed with those moral qualities which he displayed in all the duties of life, and, though he occasionally evinced on the bench the passion of a partisan, we cannot but bear testimony to his nn• flinching rectitude of purpose, his love of truth, his sin. verity and simplicity of character. His extreme bene• volence and humanity were the fittest ornaments of the chief legal guardian of the publio morals, and these qualities deserve to confer lasting honour upon his name. Lord Denman was born on the 23d of July, 1779, in the house of his father, Dr. Thomas Denman, who pracs tised medicine with distinction in the metropolis in the latter half of the last century. His mother was an aunt of the present Sir Benjamin Brodie, and it is a curious instance of the connexion of the Denman family with the medical profession, that one of the sisters of Dr. Denman married Sir Richard Croft, and the other Dr. Baillie, the two leading physicians of their time. In early childhood Thomas Denman was sent to Palgrave School, near Diss, in Norfolk, which was then under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Bai ba.uld, and the judge was sometimes wont to relate in after life that he had received from that accomplished lady the rudiments of instruction, and the first lessons of discipline. We have no record of young Denman's later school educa tion, but we find him towards the close of the last cell• tury entered at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1800, without., however, appearing in the list of wranglers of that year. In 1806 he was called to the bar at Lincoln's-inn, and engaged in the active pursuit of th e l aw . H e h a d already married at an early age,. and a rapidly-increasing family gave a stimulus to his professional exertions. The moment was peculiarly unfavourable to the public career , of a young man entering in life with principles wholly opposed to the dominant school of high Tory politics, and connected by education, by taste, and by conscience with the men and the principles which were doomed to a quarter of a century of opposition before they obtained a footing in the Government of this country ; and Mr. Denman had none of the qualifications which could recommend him to the Percevals or the Eldons of that day. He entered Parliament for the borough of Wareham at the general election of 1818, and at once took his seat with the Whig Opposition. In the following year he was elected for Nottingham, for which place he continued to sit, to the great satisfaction of his constituents, until his pro motion to the bench in 1832. His first appearance in Parliament was in favour of certain reform in the law, but it was not until 1820 that the extraordinary occa sion of the Queen's trial called forth all his energy, and placed him in a more conspicuous position before 'the country. When Queen Caroline formed the de termination of coming to this country upon the accession of her husband to the throne, Mr. Brougham at once accepted the office of her Majesty's Attorney-General, while that of her Solicitor-General was filled by Mr. Denman. It was impossible to declare war more openly upon the Government, upon the heads of the legal pro fession, and upon the private feelings of the King. We now look back with amazement on the spirit which pervaded the country at that time, and on the motives which induced men of the highest ability and the purest f:ime voluntarily to lend their advocacy to a client who had in a thousand ways degraded her position and dis graced her sex. But men like Lushington and Denman saw in the Queen a woman whose innumerable offences against decency and virtue might, they thought, be palliated, by the unworthy treatment she had met with from her husband, and the furious spirit of op. position which prevailed against George IV. and his Ministers animated them to the contest, and em bellished even the woi thless and repulsive object they consented to serve. The part taken by Mr. Denman in that memorable trial gave the public a high idea of his courage and uprightedness, and contributed in no slight degree to its successful result. This success r however, was an offence not to be pardoned by the head of the law as long as Lord Eldon held the Great Seal, and accordingly the honours of his profession, to which Mr. Denman was amply entitled by his talents and his standing, were studiously withheld from him, as far as they depended on the will of the Chancellor. Mr. Den man was, however, appointed to the office of Common Serjeant by th e orporation of London in 1822, pro bably as a mark of their sympathy for the legal de feeders of the Queen, in whose affairs Alderman. Waitliman had taken so active a part. It was not until 1828, when Lord Lyndhurst first held the Great Seal, that this injustice was repaired, and the King was in duced in 1828, not, we believe, without difficulty, to grant thu patent of precedence to which Mr. Denman had long been entitled. In 1830 the scene changed, and upon the formation of Lord Grey's Government Sir Thomas Denman was immediately raised to the post of Attorney-General, which he held during the momentous debates on the Reform Bill. In 1832, however, upon the death of Lord Tenterden, he was appointed to the Chief Jug ticeship of the Court of Queen's Bench, which he held till 1850, having been raised to the peerage in 1834. As a judge, we have already observed, that Lord Denman cannot be ranked with the highest legal authorities who have presided over that court, but no man ever took a loftier view of its duties to society. To quote but one example, the conduct of the Court in the difficult case of " Stockdale v. Hansard," when it was directly assailed by one branch of the Leg islature , is a memorable in stance of the exercise of t hat constitutional power which enables our judges to interpose the authority of the law against the arbitrary pretensions of the most powerful body in this realm, and to combat privilege in the name of justice. " Most willingly would I decline," said Lord Denman in delivering judgment on that occasion," to enter upon an inquiry which may lead to my differing from that great and powerful assembly (the House of Commons). But when one of my fellow-subjects presents himself before me in this court demanding justice for an injury, it is not at my option to grant or to withhold redress. I am bound to afford it him, if the law declares him en titled to it. Parliament is said to be supreme. I most fully acknowledge its supremacy. It follows, then, that neither branch of it is supreme when acting by itself." power In those few words, an d i n th e judicial - of enforc ing that truth, lie s th e supreme guardians hip of the liberties of England. Lord Denman lived the life of a reformer of abuseir; and an enemy of all that in his judg ment c louded the honour or imp a i re d t h e public utility of our institutions; His hatred of negro slavery in every form rose to a pa s. sion, for h e s t oo d armed against cru elty and injustice, and in the wretched fate of kidnapped Africans and de graded slaves he beheld the united and accumulated evils and wrongs which have most disgraced humanity and profaned religion. He powerfully contributed to the furtherance of those reforms of the criminal law which Sir Samuel Romilly had commenced, and which Lord Den• man brought to the test of his own judicial experience. To the cause of4oleration and freedom within the bouts , daries of law he at all times gave his hearty support, and in all the undertakings set on foot in our day for more extended popular education, for the diffusion of useful. knowledge, ct f s o r o f t I en e n ligh t reformation ened cil o a f r i criminal a o d ff i e l en d b e o rs r , e a h a i d s f p o a r other rt. Th a e warmth he had sometimes displayed as a par. tisan gradually subsided under the higher duties of his judicial station and the soothing influence of age. His clos i n g years, though afflicted by severe illness, were see renely devoted to that contemplation which is the worthiest termination of human life—to those acts of kindness which endear the memory of the departed—and to the exercises of religion which anticipate the final change. We rank him not with the greakest, but with the wore thiest of our contemporaries, andathe life he led affords, in our judgment, a better example to those who iollove him than that of more eager and impetuous aspirant* after power and fame.—Times.
