Freight of gold delivered at the Bullion-office, London, sd. per ounce. Insurance, free of, or 5 per cent. to cover war risk." The state of the mercantile markets is thus re corded : " Notwithstanding the continuance of fine weathe f nearly a fortnigl twe regret that we have still to re port a depressed market. Indeed, we hear from persons engaged in every department of trade that they have never experienced a duller week than that now ended, and there in no expectation of a decided improvement for at least a couple of months. " Itussian staples, such as cordage, canvass, bags, woolpacks, are held for high prices, but there is little in quiry, and few or no transactions at present prices. " Flour has fallen. The best Adelaide is offered at 321. ; Launceston at 28/. ; and Chili at 301. Sales of Gallego are reported at 655. in the Bay, which is equal to 675. 6d. in town. " Liquors of all kinds are dull at our quotations ex cept bottled port, for which there is some demand. "Ironmongery is still dull. Cooking-stoves, cam- I plete, are sold at 50 to 75 per cent. on the invoice. It must be a very good assortment to realise the latter price. • " Hoop iron, lead, and rolled zinc have declined. "There is a slight improvement in linseed-oil, chiefly in raw, in consequence of the scarcity of black and sperm oils. ft is used for manufacturing purposes. "PotatJes have risen considerably during the week, • and a good article is scarce. "Prime ham and bacon are in demand. " Scotch oatmeal is very firm at 28s. per cwt. "Prime Dutch butter, in 14-lb. kegs, has been sold at 2s. per lb. " American vinegar is quite unsaleable ; also codfish. "The resrket is very heavily stocked with slates ; but is believed that they have reached their lowest limit. "There is 110 business doing in the sugar market, and rrices are not firm. "Blacking is saleable at 50 per cent. on the invoice. " Three-bushel bags are o ffered at 11s. 6cl. per doz. Gunnies are wanted. Woolpacks are worth ss. to 6s. " English navy canvass is held firmly at our quota tions, and American is scarce. " Shop-paper has been sold at 25 per cent. on invoice. "Yellow pine, American timber, tongued and grooved, has been sold at 221. per 1000 feet, in the Bay. Other timber, especially hardwood, is very dull. " Strong boots anclhoes, flannels and woollen hosiery, have all declined, stocks for the season having been fully supplied." The ship Guiding Star brings Melbourne advices of July 23, and 49,896 ounces in gold. The English Funds have been firmer this morn ing. The settlement of the account is in progress, and the arrangements appear to be as nearly as possible completed in anticipation, the small amount of businesi lately done rendering it com paratively easy to "carryove r " where desired. The large arrivals of bullion will serve to replace what is being paid as the instalments upon the Turkish loan and Exchequer Bonds, and we may perhaps not unreasonably anticipate an easier state of the money market in a few days. Consols have been • marked 94a to 95 for transfer, and 941 to 95i for the 14th of November. The New al per Cents. have been 93g- to 94, and the 3 per Cents. 931 to 931. Bank Stock has bee nrm at 210.

Foreign Securities are very inactive, but the Turkish Scrip is slightly better, being 2 to 3i premium. The Spanish Three per Cents. have been 37k. Mexican Bonds have realised 241 7 3 . ; and Brazilian Old, 99. The following are . the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5/ M can,. 2411 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 OS ; ditto, 41 per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish Now Deferred, 18i to 3 . 81 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 37-i to 38 ; ditto, Certi ficates, 5 to 51-; ditto, Passive, 41 to 4'2.

The market closed firmly, without change in prices. The sales comprised 150 Per nam and Maranham at 6d. to 7d., 400 Egyptian at .6d. to. hd., 2,000 Surat at 21d. 'to 41d., and the remainder nearly all American. Railway Shares were quiet. • There arrived in the Thames yesterday 67 ships from abroad, 3 from Ireland, and 8 colliers. The accounts from Ireland represent the effect of the recent Liverpool and London failure as being exceedingly injurious, and as having occa sioned a suspension of payments by several firms in Dublin and other cities. The letters and papers by the ship Red Jacket were mostly delivered this morning, and are as late as the beginning of August. The gold market seems to have been deranged by the competition among the banks, and of this the bullion dealers were loudly complaining. One broker gives the following particulars : " Gold continues et 41. " The deterininatim, rf one of the banks to outbid all the others is the cause of the gold maintaining its pre sent high and unprofitable rate. Several of them are already feeling that the competition has betrayed them . into paying a higher rate for an article of produce than what they have either capital to invest in, or a legitimate outlet for, in the course of their business. In support of this view of the subject, the fallowing extract from the great political economist, Adam Smith, con veys an admonition appropriate to the present ques tion : " "Though the principles of the banking trade may . appear somewhat abstruse, the practice is capable of being reduced to strict rules. To depart upon any occasion from those rules in consequence of some flat tering speculation of extraordinary gain is almost always extremely dangerous, and frequently fatal to the bank ing company which attempts it.'.. That the flattering gains on the first acts of deviation. froin.tbeir legitimate banking business aro cow being converted into certain ' loss one and all admit, notwithstanding which they still persevere. This position of things ought soon to rec tify itself, after which we may assume that the busi ness will be allowed to disseminate through its usual channels. " In the South American States the . bullion trade is there carried on by the merchant, who sends his goods up to the mines, and receives in return the dust or bul ' lion,—precisely the course pursued here, until the banks stepped iii and overturned the usage of the trade by grasping at the whole. ' "As a practical illustration of the effect of the banks keeping up the price of gold and the exchange at pre sent rates, the folloWing shipments of specie have taken place since these measures were adopted : Shipped (per Customs returns) in May £28,512 June 51,533 July 199,710 271,755 d 110 per ant. i sken by privati hand 27,975 £307,730 Num' er of persons arrived, 2,303 Nuti),er that have left, 277 Addition this week, 2,026, and yca-, 33,460.

The assembling of Russian troops along the frontier of Gallicia, with an entrenched camp at Kielce, as the pivot of their operations, was a tolerably significant hint. But the news from St. Petersburg, which reached us last night by telegraph, leaves not a shadow of doubt on the meaning of tkis movement. An ukase was pro mulgated at Petersburg, on the 14th inst., by which the three provinces nearest Austria (this designation we presume indicates Podolia, Volhynia, and the Kingdom of Poland) arc declared in a state of siege, and Gorstcha koff appointed generalissimo of the army concentrated in them. While the Czar thus plainly intimates that he considers the congratulations presented by the Emperor of Austria to the Courts of the Tuileries and St. James's on their successes in the Crimea as tantamount to a de claration of war against Russia, he, by leaving his fron tier towards Prussia entirely denuded of troops, ex• presses quite as unequivocally his entire confidence ii the Court of 11,:rliri. In a Monarch like the Czar, so notoriously addicted to suspect every person he deals with -of treachery, this withdrawal of his troops from the Prussian frontier• appears to imply some peculiarly strong reason for his confidence. It lends probability to a report which has begun to be current in Germany, that a secret treaty has been concluded between the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Russia. If this be true, Prussia can no longer be con siclered in any other light than as a frontier province of the Russian Empire. All the Prussian ports on the Baltic will in this case have to be blockaded next spring as well as the Russian. The merchants of Memel ; Dantzic, Konigsberg, Stettin, arid Piilau, are warned in time of what is awaiting them if sonic check is not placed upon the infatuated determination of their King to act as a vassal of the Czar. In 1812 the people of Prussia compelled their reluctant King to place himself at the head of the national movement for the emancipation of the country ; and what has been done once can be done again. Or if Frederick William prove of less malleable materials than his father, the Prussians need only look across the frontier to Brunswick, in order to see a younger brother occupying the throne from which his • elder brother was expelled for unfitness to govern, and that by the instrumentality ot the Diet of the Germanic Confederation.

DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departures from the port of London during the week have comprised 14 den of 1,630 tone ; vessels—four to Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 3,802 term ; three to Sydney, with an aggregate bur -851 tons ; one to New gate burden of 1,100 tons ; two to Adelaide, with an aggregate burden of 769 tons ; one to Portland Bay, of general depression. of 786 tons ; and one to two ztoeeHleoebda,rt Town, with an ag gre. Swan River, of 317 tens. Their total capacity was con sequently 9,311 tons. The rates of freight continue to AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MARKETS. — The weekly reviews from these markets state that, although operations had not proved extensive, prices continued to be supported. Purchase s of su g ar, raw and refined, had b een made at a slight advance. Most descriptions of coffee were steady, but transactions were principally confined to the local demand. The advance in grain had further favourably influenced the quotation for rice. Indigo also exhibited an improvement, the stock having diminished. CALCUTTA AND BOMIIAT IMPORT MARKETS.—The commercial. accounts from India by the overland mail were of a mixed character. At Calcutta there is still great dullness, but from Bombay the report is favourable, transactions in the import markets having taken place to a fair extent, and prices being well supported. SEIZURE OF RUSSIAN VESSELS.—The Elise Withal , mine Peterson, master, and the Esse, Sanders, master , both from Archangel, with cargoes of tar, mats, &c., have been seized in the harbour of Leith by Mr. Mit. chell, tide surveyor, and their detention has been con firmed since by the Board of Admiralty. Nothing has yet been done with the other vessels seized in Leith. — Scotsman. ARRIVALS Of GOLD.—The arrivals of gold yesterday have amounted to 405,0001. —namely, 210,0001. by the Red Jacket from Australia, and 195,0001. by the Arabia from New York. The Thomas Hughes is also reported from Australia, but is believed to have no gold on freight. PORTUGAL.—The advices from Portugal by the snail just arrived are very unfavourable, both as regards the wine districts and the general position of commercial affairs. At Lisbon numerous failures had occurred, in cluding seine of the French houses established there, as well as several native firms. NEW YORK.— Tho mercantile intelligence from New York this week describes inactivity and heaviness in the stock market. Among recent failures had been that of J. F. Morse and Co., of Boston, importers of dry goods. FIRAres.—SINGAPORE, Aug. 25.—From advices just received, it is ascertained that the pirates aro collecting in force at Pulo Tiga, not far from Labuan. A Malay trader, which left Labuan a few days before the Bth of August for a trading voyage up the coast, reports that she fell in, near Pule Tiga, with a fleet of 23 boats, by which she had been chased. The o immu• nications along the coast from Labuan have been almost entirely stopped by them for above two months. The A. L. Johnston, Shepherd, from Melbourne to Macassar, grounded on a reef in Torres Straits, on the 14th of July, and was set on fire on the 21st to prevent her fall ing into the hands of the savages of Jervis and Mill grave's Island; crew saved by the Port Wallaoe, Martin, from Melbourne, arrived at this port ; which vessel was on shore on a reef in Torres Straits, at the same time as the-A. L. Johnston, but got off, leaky, after throwing b a ll a st ()T abard and starting several water cub. TOO KNOWING BY HALE. The following story, for which we are indebted to a Frankfort paper shrewdly suspected of being in the pay of Russia is, if true, an amusing illustration of the manner in which deceivers are sometimes misled by as suming all the world to be as mendacious as themselves : " Russia has closely watched the armaments prepared by the Allies for the invasion of the Crimea ; it was in formed by correspondents at Varna of every step and measure taken by them. There was one thing, how ever, which the Russian government could not be brought to believe—and that because no mystery was made of it —the destination of the expedition. The Russian go vernment did not believe that Sebastopol, so openly spoken of, was really to be attacked ; but persuaded itself that the admirals and generals of the allies had sealed orders, not to be opened till they were at sea, which when opened would be found to direct them to attack some other port." We have here a corroboration of a favourite maxim of Talleyrand (and we believe of Lord Malmesbury before him), that the wiliest diplomatists may , be effectually deceived by frankly telling them the plain and simple truth. Diplomatists and metaphysi cians resemble each other in this, that while laboriously digging to reach some recondite truth, they overlook the truth that stares them in the face on the surface. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Last night Mr. Ranger made his first appearance as Lord Witherby in the little comedy of Vanity Cured ; or, The School for Old Gentlemen, which was revived for the occasion. Lord VV itherby is a slight sketch of Lord Ogilvy in the Clandestine Marriage; and Mrs. Max man is one of those match-making mammas, desirous of uniting her daughter to age and infirmity for the sake of rank and fortune. Mr. Ranger's performance of the part was admirable ; there was a quietness and an en tire want of exaggeration on the one hand, and of tame ness on the other. Nothing could be more amusing than the youthful airs and graces assumed by "the boy" of sixty ; it was a capital performance, and richly merited the applause it received. Mrs. Stanley, as the match making mother, was exceedingly good ; and the Louisa of Miss Clifford was an excellent performance for a debutanti. The advice we, in common with our con temporaries, gave respecting the compressing of the King's Rival, has been followed, and it now "goes" ad mirably. The appearance of the theatre last evening augured well for the bold undertaking of the accom plished directress. It was fully and fashionably at tended. OLYMPIC THEATRE. The clever and ingenious acting of Mr. Robson has never been more strikingly exhibited than in a new farce brought out at this theatre last night under the title of A Blighted Being. The worthy in question fancies him self the especial victim of an opposing fate. He is con. signed to a brewery when he would court the muses. His great epic poem in sixteen books is rejected by the booksellers, and is equally rejected by the public when be publishes it on his own account. His expectations of fortune are frustrated bran untimely marriage ; and he is at length reduced to the verge of despair. There is no consolation sufficiently potent to comfort him, and suicide is the only prospect in which he sees relief. The explanations which of course ensue revive Job Wort, and under the influence of love and medicine his cure is completed. The tragic quality which enters so essentially into farces of this description has often been embodied by Mr. Robson. His delineation of mental suffering, built on a comic basis, is perfection itself. His haggard look, nervous irritation, and distraught utterance last night made up a minute portraiture of hopeless affliction — such we believe that no one on the stage at the present moment could even remotely rival. The piece, written solely for him, was thus ini mitabl y sustained; and its suc cess was unquestionable. The Irish apothecary was filled by Mr. Danvers, we may add, with a upeful and pro mising vivacity ; and the perky smartness of Mr. Har wood Cooper, the representative of a tavern waiter, was equally suggestive of notice. This farce, which is founded on a French vaudeville of not very recent date, owes its authorship to Mr. Tom Taylor. - • - THE NEW BEER ACT. The following circular has been issued amongst the licensed victuallers : " The Recorder of Birmingham will gratefully receive information on the following points : " 1. Is the New Beer Act brought into general ope ration in your neighbourhood ? 2. Has its enforce ment been attended with much irritation, and is such irritation, if any, allayed or aggravated by experience 'of its working? 3. If irritation has been occasioned, does it appear to you to essentially belong to any measure of restriction, or to arise from the enactment respecting travellers, or from any other provisions cap able of amendment 1 4. Would the difficulty of enforcing the act, or the irritation belonging to its en forcement, be, in your opinion, augmented or diminished by making it apply to the whole of Sunday, as in Scot ' land ? 5. Has it diminished the number of charges for drunkenness wade before magistrates ? 6. Is the dimi nution on Mondays, if any, countervailed by an excess in any other period of the week ? 7. Has there been a diminution in any other offences (specify them) which may be fairly attributed to the operation of the act ? 8. Are there any indications that the restrictions of the act will lead to important evasions of the law 3 9. Is the act popular with the upper and middle classes, and the well-conducted portion of those below them ?" PUBLIC BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES.

SP OR TIN I . It is with much grief that we have to records thete death of a gentleman long con nected with the pre nd fa edged - v ourably known to the pub l i c b y many acknowl literary productions. Mr. Phillips received hi d s educa tion at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge,, an subse quently accepted the' office of private tutor in a noble family. He travelled through most of the European countries, in the discharge of his dut y to his employers, i and when the connexion between them ceased there re mained between them throughout his life feelings of mutual respect and regard. He afterwards came to London and adopted literature as a profession,. and he is one of the few examples of men who, having followed it up with industry and perseverance, have been enabled to live and support a family in comfort and respectability, neither owing nor borrowing money. We do not assert that he was a genius or a great literary phenomenon, but he possessed very con siderable eloquence and imagination, and, above all things, a sound judgmedt in literature, which has rarely been surpassed. Had his physical strength been equal to his mental qualifications ' we have little doubt but that Mr. Phillips would have earned for himself a very considerable name in English literature ; but the remarkable part of the story is that his work was ac complished with the hand of death upon him. For many years past he had been the doomed victim of consumption. At any hour of the day or night he might have been summoned away ere the ink had dried upon the line which he had commenced writing. But calmly and courageously, respecting himself and respecting others, he went through his daily toil, and, as we have before said, was enabled to live and maintain his family in comfort and respect ability. The annals of English literature are certainly graced with names of men of loftier genius than•that of this gentleman, but upon the list there stands not the name of a more honourable and upright man. His career should not be without instruction to all men of letters. It may, perhaps, be superfluous for us to men tion here that he was the author of Caleb Stukely, and of other novels which have been much admired. He was also selected—no slight honour —as the fittest person to Write tho general hand-book of the Crystal Palace. All who had the happiness of his acquaintance will long re gret the loss of a most honourable, amiable, and intelli gent friend and companion.— Times. We have to record the death of Mr. Samuel Phillips, ; the editor of the Catalogues of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. Mr. Phillips was a writer of much ability —the author of papers in Blackwood, iu the John Bull, in the Morning Herald, and in other Tory organs. He died at Brighton, suddenly, on the 14th inst., from hemorrhage of the lungs, aged 39. Mr. Phillips was a member of the University of Cambridge, although he did . not take a degree there. He entered at Sydney Sussex College, but left before com pleting the period necessary for graduation. He devoted himself afterwards entirely to literature, and achieved a lucrative success. Persons who were well acquainted with this author and his writings were always struck with the completeness which he displayed in whatever he undertook. He always exhausted himself in whatever he wrote. He made no pretensions to profound scholar ship, but he did better without it. He forgot no thing, and never had occasion to regret that anything which proceeded from his pen was less perfect than after-consideration• could have made it. His intellect was not of the highest order, nor were his attainments extensive ; hitt he was able to bring to bear all the powers of his mind upon whatever subject he chose to illustrate. He wrote chiefly for the eriodical and news paper press. His " Caleb Stukely, " written for Black wood's Magazine, was reprinted some time back, and Messrs. Routledge have lately published a collection of tales he wrote at various times for the same periodical. —Daily Nem. TEE LIBERATION OF ARMAND BARBES. Mr. Charles Dickens tells an impressive story of a certain small debtor in the good old times who, having been immured for 40 years or so in the Fleet, was permitted by his gaolers, on the strength of so complete a naturalisation, to take an occasional walk in Farring don-street. One evening he happened to be a few mi nutes behind the appointed time in returning to the prison, when the turnkey, looking at him through the bars of the gate, declared in a menacing tone, and with the expletives proper to the occasion, that if this offence were ever repeated he would shut him out for good and all, and never let him inside the gaol again ! The threat of such a dreadful revolution in his existence so affected, as the story says, the poor captive's mind, that no temp tation could ever induce him for the future to incur so much as a risk of the penalty ; nor would he ever again put his foot beyond the prison walls. Perhaps some peo ple thought this story rather overdone, but it has been paralleled in real life, and on a more heroic stage, within this last fortnight. A Frenchman named Armand Barbee was condemned in 1839 to perpetual imprisonment. The revolutions of ten years later soon provided him not only with his liberty, but with the opportunity of losing it anew, and he again became a political captive, and so till within these few days remained. From his confine ment, however, he addressed to some correspondent a highly patriotic expression of feeling respecting the re cent successes of the French arms ; and the Emperor, in gracious recognition of such !honourable sentiments, di rected that he should be restored to freedom immediately and without conditions. But this proceeding was by no means to the taste of M. Armand Barbee. He objected to the clemency, thefavour, the release itself, and' verything connected with it. When it came to the last he refused to go, and violence bocame,necessary to set him at liberty. After being at length driven out of custody he came to Paris, where he addressed a letter to the public journals, com plaining bitterly of the wound inflicted on his personal dignity, asking what it signified to others whether he loved his country, or whether he didn't, and solemnly protesting in the face of the whole nation, that if he wasn't sent back to gaol within eight-and-forty hours, he would betake himself to foreign parts, and deprive France of his presence altogether ! He gave the au thorities two days to lock him up again—not an hour longer. "That delay once past," says ho, " I shall hasten of my own accord into exile." Events follow each other so rapidly in times like £929 14 0 808 2 11 759 8 3 961 0 9 698 14 9 365 2 9 690 11 8 387 6 3 1,153 5 8 1,062 0 6 591 0 0 the present, and the last twenty years especially have produced such bewildering vicissitudes, that perhaps some of our readers may retain very little recollection of M. Barbee or his doings, and may be gratified with a concise delineation of his public career. It was on the 12th of May, 18.39, when the city of Paris was looking its very best, and everything about that seductive capital was tranquil and charming, that a group of men attired in blouses, and wearing that famous but not exactly pleasing head-dress termed a "patriotic hat," presented themselves before one of the guardhouses and required the soldiers to " surrender." As there was no kind of contest anywhere pending, as Paris was just as quiet then as London is to-day, and as there appeared no powers or pretenders to whom any surrender could be made, it will not be thought surprising that the officer in command declined complying with the summons. As the refusal left his lips, however, he was shot dead, and the challengers, pursuing their course, tried the same experiment at other posts, until they were overpowered and disarmed. The chief leader in these proceedings was Barbee, who was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death, but escaped the guillotine by a com mutation of his penalty. Opinions were considerably divided in Paris on the subject of this trial and its results. The argument for the prisoners was based upon the theory, fashionable among the French Republicans, that all acts, however outrageous, which bad for their object merely the sub version of existing institutions, were to be regarded as involving " political" offences only, and wore not to be judged by the rules provided for cases of civil criminality. Benefit of insurrection was claimed like benefit of clergy. Barbes and his followers had broken open gunsmiths' shops, had carried a their contents, had made a violent disturbance, and caused the deaths of other citizens while engaged in their lawful duties. These appeared certainly like so many crimes, but, as they were coim m- mitted with a view of dethroning th e Kin g and procla ing a new form of government, it was said they were purely " political," and not visitable with the penalties ordinarily attaching to such deeds. On the other side was argued that, whatever might he the pretest of the commotion, the death of the lieutenant on duty at the guardhouse occurred under oircumstancss which consti tuted a ease of murder, and that for blood thus shed blood was fairly to be required again. It seems that, as regards this particular incident of the "revolution," Barbes could not. controvert the jus tice of the plea, for when it was attempted to bring this murder borne to him individually he delivered himself of an energetic defence, and protested against an accusa tion so dishonourable, solemnly declaring that he had not shot the lieutenant, and that he would never have committed such an act. It sounds strangely to English ears that a man who vaunt ingly avowed, as Barbee did, that he was the thief of the conspitacy, that he had prepared all the means for its execution, and that he had led his armed followers up to the guardhouse for the purpose of get ting forcible possession of it, should express horror at a deed which was the natural, immediate, and necessary consequence of his proceeding. He attacked the guard for the purpose of disarming it, he had provided weapons for the purpose of overcomi n g resistance, and what could Buell preparations lead to except the death of the soldiers who resisted We an yma possibly be f a voured h tore not Barbes' compy in England, awl we are dthider d e esi,n, .0 h unwilling to express a bel ief that he never we eyes, are t commit any such act as would, in his_ The criminality. resembled a deliberate murder. allowed them license which French revolu tionists bad their rebellions, and of the whole proceeding arosefrm that incredible selves.

TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAT. THE SETTLING. In two or three instances the doubts which had been raised at Newmarket were satisfactorily dispelled, and the settling proceeded with a degree of smoothness which was quite unexpected. A few of the members had even the good fortune to get in some old debts. It must never theless be confessed there still remains strong ground of complaint respecting the tightness of money and the difficulties occasioned by persons in default. The conduct of some provincial speculators, who nei ther appeared in person nor by d e p ut y , alth ough they have abundant eans of payment at comand, gave rise to many severe c m omments., Procrastinat m ion is freqnently the thief of credit as well as of time.
