MaNEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales. The market closed t amely, but steadily, with prices of all kinds un changed. The sales comprised 200 Egyptian at 6 d. to 71d., 40 Sea Idland at is. Old. to is. Id., and the remainder nearly all American. Railway Shares were firm and steady. The steamer Arctic has arrived off Liverpool, with 1 ,130,705 dollars in specie, and dates three days later, viz., to Sept. 2d, inclusive. The stock market was again very depressed, after a rally . which occurred on the 29th ult. The Erie Rail-. road Company appears to be in great embarrass ment. One writer states : "Mr. Vanderbilt has loaned the Erie company his endorsement on $400,000 of its paper of short date, for which he has received a mortgage on the entire rolling property of the road. Everythiig in the shape of a loco motive, freight and passenger car, has been pledged for the above-named sum, instead of $600,000 as at first Proposed. Of the $400,000 raised by mortgaging the move able property of the company, $300,000 will be paid out to-morrow for interest then due on the bonds. Tnis leaves but a small amount for other purposes. It would be well enough for the company to appropriate the balance to the Payment of wages due labourers along the line of the road. 'We are informed that along the Delaware di vision labourers have been paid only up to the Ist of July. Wages due for June were not paid until a week or two ago. July and August are now due. This is a pretty position for the Erie Railroad Company to be in. The president, no doubt, receives his salary of $lO,OOO per annum as soon as due, and all the other officers with enormous salaries, the same, while the poor labourer, whose credit at the nearest store depends entirely upon his prospective pay, is put off month after month, until he can get no more pork and bread upon his promises to pay when the company pays him. These may be con sidered trifling matters, but a shrewd stockholder will be able to draw correct inferences from even such trifles, and govern himself a :cordingly." There were appearances of rain in New York State at the latest date. From Mexico it is stated that Villareal, the second in command to General Alvarez; had died of his wounds. Venezuela is stated to be still in a very disturbed condition. Honduras had been visited by swarms of locusts. The accounts from Brazil by the Great Western steamer represent business as being dull at Rio. The market report from Buenos Ayres is likewise unsatisfactory. The arrangements by which the remainder of the Exchequer Bonds are to be issued appear to be so far judicious that they widen the probable sphere of circulation by reducing the separate amounts of the Bonds. In the instruction given it is provided that the bonds and certificates attached thereto !hall be provided to the amount of 900,0001. in bonds of 1,0001. each, 530,0001. in bonds of 5 00/. each, 300,0001. in bonds of 2001. ea ch, and 270,000/. in bonds of 1001. each. This w ill g i ve 2 , 700- b on d s o f t h e lowest den om i nat i on, and any one acquainted with Stock E xc h ange matters will appreciate the conve nience of thi s p l an, and understand the probability of the s ecurities being taken up byparties who other w 1 _ I se would no t i nvest in them. The bonds of the r g e r amounts w ill, a t th e same time, b e useful to t'a, e bankers and others. On the face of each bond the 'offntnnation will appea r t h a t th e ca pit a l i s t o b e pa id at par on the Bth May, 1858, the interest being at the rate of per cent, per annum. The inte rest m ay be rec e i ve d b y any one h o ldi ng th e an t _el-ed certifi ca t es, of which a form i s g i ven, stat i ng e zahat the b orrower is entitled to a half-year ' s divi clld- Thus, a bond of 1,0001. will bear a Coupon 17 /. 10s. for the half-year ; one of 500/. "" 1 yield 8/. 15s. ; one of 2001., 3/. 10s. ; one of 1 001. V. 15s. This is quite a new feature 111 connection with English securities, and we have 1(4 t he slightest d ou bt that at no very distant date they will, as we h ave a l wa y s co ntended, be made freely available for the purpose of remittances. iitherto Dutch and other foreign Coupons have r e e "ed from h an d to h an d i n th e same wa y, an d bees found very acceptable, although they f , — lnd never be as serviceable as a bond payable at Par within a given date, being subject to greater 13 fl uctuatio n in the different markets. The A and th e . series will now be in circulation, authority having been given to the cashier of the Bank of gland to receive the samofrom the Comptroller- Oeneral of her Majesty's Exchequer. Having ap proved of the experiment of issuing Exchequer B onds from the moment it was first announced, and having, in fact, joined with the practical men in th e suggestion that some such course should be taken, we feel an especial pleasure in the success W hich has attended the attempt, notwithstanding t he bitter opposition manifested by disappointed s peculators, who were particularly solicitous that there should be a further addition to the funded debt of the country. This has been settling day in the Stock Market, an d it would appear that the Account is decidedly The " continuation" has• been as much 43 , I to 3 per cent. on Consols, which, after being 0 90 i• I for t rans f er, f e ll t o 951 though now again i• The prices for October have been 951 and since 95a Exchequer-bills have realised Os. to 1 -8 ') and Indi a B on d s 6 s . prem .

This is " making up " day in the Railway Share Mark - et, and the business done is chiefly in refer ence to the settlement of the Account to-morrow. The movement in prices is not uniform, but the tendency generally is towards a decline. The Foreign lines are very dull. In Mining, Banking, and the miscellaneous Shares dealings are unimportant.

It is reported, and seems to be believed, that Admiral Sir Charles Napier may be shortly expected in this country on his return from the Baltic. His arrival would, of course, imply that operations in that quarter are at end for the year, and that our fleet will soon find its way to England for the winter. We must needs ex press an anxious hope that the rumour in question may not be true, for such s. resolution on the part of our authorities would, we think, be unnecessary, ill-timed, and calculated both to damage the cause of the Allies and serve that of the Russians. The only reason which could compel the return of the fleet from the waters which it now commands would be the approach of the winter season. As the Baltic ports at such times are sealed up by ice, and the blockade of the Russian gulfs is effectually maintained by the natural operation of the climate, it would be clearly superfluous to add any artificial barriers to those already ' provided, even if it were possible for a squadron to keep the sea at such periods of the year. Exactly, in short, as there was a time before which it was unnecessary that the Baltic should be guarded by an allied squadron, so there is a time beyond which' it will be unnecessary . that this guard should be continued, but that time has certainly not yet arrived. The period at which, upon an average, the closure of the Neva may be expected, is, as we recently explained, two months distant, and, even if preparations for the return of the fleet were commenced somewhat earlier, it is clear that four or five weeks must still remain available for active operations. How, indeed, are we to reconcile the two facts that, while in the Rack Sea the work of the war is just com mencing, in the Baltic it should just he terminated ? If enough remains of the autumn to permit the siege of Sebastopol to be attempted, must not enough remain to allow of some further enterprise in the north ? We consider that this cessation of operations would be ill-timed, because everything at present suggests a contrary course. We have have just learnt our strength and the enemy his weakness • the Allies have been en couraged, and the Russians disheartened. After believ ing somewhat too implicitly in the imputed strength of granite fortifications, we have just seen this persuasion demolished by the test of experiment. The stone forts on which Russia relies have been shown to be no match for the floating batteries which represent the power of England and France. If the Edinburgh at 500 yarde in seven broadsides can knock a breach in the towers of Bomarsund, why should not Admiral Chads have an opportunity of performing the same feat at Fort Alex ander on the south side of the island of Cronstadt ? In a contest which was a trial of strength between offensive and defensive systems, that of the defence has proved the weaker, and nothing, therefore, could seem more impolitic than that the assailants should at this very con juncture relinquish the advantages obtained. The fall of Bomarsund appeared to open to the allied squadrons all the strongholds of the Russian gulfs, and it is clear from the despatch of General Baraguay d'Hilliers that the result was actually regarded in this light. Where, then, can be the wisdom of foregoing a superiority thus established at the moment when it might be turned to good account ? Surely, if it has been found that we can destroy granite forts without risk of getting our ships awkwardly crippled, we might as well pursue the advan tage as long as the season will permit. What, too, we may ask, if operations are to be thus prematurely closed, was the object of proceeding lately with such urgency in the equipment and despatch o: gun-boats for special service in the Baltic waters? Every body observed that the chief risk encountered in the re• cent proceedings was that of grounding in the shallows, while the chief advantage experienced by our fo,ces was in the superior range of our artillery. By a judicious application of these lessons we have constructed vessels with offensive powers of a most: ormidable character. vessels drawing only very little water, and yet armed with guns of enormous calibre and prodigious range. One piece of ordnance capable of throwing a heavy shot nearly four miles has already reached the fleet, and," though this may seem of no great moment, it should be remembered that a single 10-inch gun, well placed and worked, had no inconsiderable share in the destruction of Bomarsund. But there is time enough, we presume, before the end of this month, to reinforce the fleet with some of the gun-boat flotilla, and there wuuld then still remain another month available for putting their powers iu requisition. Why stop short at the fall of Bomarsund, with such fair opportunities left for successful progress ? We are now exactly at that conjuncture of affairs when success would produce its greatest fruits, and when anything like eviden ce o f wea k nes i wou ld be attended with peculiar disadvantage. Hitherto the war, though certainly productive of humiliation to Russia, has not been distinguished by any brilliant action on the part of the Allies. We have driven the Czar to seek shelter be hind his fortifications, but we have not attacked him in his position ; and, if our forces are too strong for him, his defences have been too strong for us: The conse quence has been a temporising and uncertain policy in quarters where a more decided success would probably have brought about a cordial alliance, and these unde sirable results are only too likely to be confirmed by proceedings which would appear to leave the field in the poSsession of our enemies. We have learnt exactly what to anticipate from the policy of the Russian Government. If our fleet retires from the Baltic be- fore the season is actually closed and while time and opportunity still remain for action, the Russians will instantly sally out into the seas thus conveni ently vacated, will reoccupy the Aland Isles, hoist their flag on the ruins of Bomarsund, parade their vesseli along the coasts of Sweden and Denmark, and then issue a swaggering manifesto to the world, setting forth the ignominious retreat of allied the squadrons with nothing accomplished, the triumphant resistance of the Imperial forces against infinitely superior numbers, and the final ascendancy of the Czar in the waters of the Baltic. This will probably be the issue of the campaign, and, however false such representations may be, appearances will not be wanting to lend a plausibility to the story. A very small thing makes a victory in the bzvalide Busse. We are quite aware that the first condition of opera tions in the Baltic was the preservation of the fleet from such injury as would destroy its efficiency ; nor have we been slow to inculcate on our countrymen the expediency of acquiescing in the solid advantages of a blockade in stead of tempting fortune by speculative enterprises, promising no commensurate returns. To these views we steadily adhere ; but it is impossible to deny that the capture of Bomarsund considerably enlarged the field of judicious action. It was thought that guns could not destroy granite, whereas it is now proved that granite cannot resist guns. It has certainly not yet been ascer tained how far the wooden walls of our three-deckers may be relied upon in a cannonade exposing them to the full fire of land fortifications, nor is it necessary to bring this question to any violent issue. Our artillery is so superior to that of our enemies that we may carry on our attacks without staking too much on the trial, and, as long as these means of offence remain in our power, it appears to us exceedingly impolitic to abandon the field. That our fleets will have done good work by blockading the Russian squadrons, paralysing Russian trade, and bringing themselves safe home again, is cer tainly true, but this is all the more reason for depriving the enemy of the smallest pretext for disparaging the results of the campaign.

It appears, at first view, rather anomalous that the earliest intimation or indications of what the Western Powers really think or have made up their minds to do in the Eastern question should all along have proceeded from that one of the two allies who seems the least amenable to popular opinion. In England the adminis tration hold theie places durante bens placito of the repre sentatives of the people, and are exposed to th e i r inter rogations. In France the Emperor holds all but des potic power. Yet the pithy despatches of M. Drouyn de l'Huys were published for the edification of our neigh bours on the other side of the Channel, long before our ministers would speak out ; and now the Government organs in the French press aro beginning to speak (covertly, it is true, but still quite intelligibly) of Austria in the terms it deserves, while Englishmen have no means afforded them of discovering whether or not their ministers are still determined, on all occasions, to "wait for the Austrians." A little reflection, however, suffices to solve the seemingly puzzling problem. In France public opinion is in reality as omnipotent as it is in England ; although Frenchmen , tired of the aimless and endless brawls of political Frondeurs„ are contented at present to acquiesce in a form of government which affords public opinion no legitimate recognised organ of expression. The Emperor of the French has the good sense to see this : he knows that his absolute power is absolute only so long as it does not run directly counter to popular sentiment and opinions ; he knows that popular dislike of any course he may pursue, "having no tongue to speak," will of necessity fi rst vent itself in action ; and he wisely seekslo prevent this, and to carry the popular will with him as he proceeds,.by volun tarily submitting to it early explanations. On the con trary, English Ministers, knowing that sooner or later they must be brought 4) book, put off• the evil day as long as they can ; and Englishmen, satisfied that they possess the means of compelling Ministers to render an account when they will, slumber on in this pleasing con sciousness of power, without exercising it. The cir cumstance, too, that Ministers can be peremptorily in terrogated only a certain season of the year—while Par liament is in session—renders it more difficult to extract information from them at any other time. Of late there fore, the attention of the English public has been more ' frequently turned to Paris than to London, when on the watch for intimations of what the Allied Powers really think and intend to do. This habit rests on the assump tion that the professions of entire unanimity made by the two Governments are really sincere; and this assumption is at present tolerably well warranted. English Ministers know that the English people, though they may be gulled for a time, cannot perma nently he kept in th leading-strings of the Eastern despot ' • the Emperor of the French knows that between him and the old aristocracy of Europe there is a gulf placed which he cannot pass over ; both Governments, French and English, are bound by the necessity of their nature to thwart and oppose the living re presentatives of the Holy Alliance. Their coquet ting with Austria has, therefore, been as false and insincere as the coquetting of that antiquated flirt with them. The affectation of mutual confidence and sym pathy has been carried nearly to its utmost limits, and the mask must soon be removed on both sides. Of this impending necessity the Emperor of the French has na turally become sooner aware than have the English Mi nistry. The English Government and nation, though necessarily antagonistic to the vital principles of East- European despotism have been so long established that there are no hopes of putting them down; the absolute monarchs look upon England and its constitution as nuisances which they have no hopes of removing and must endure. English Ministers are rather apt to pre ' sume on their knowledge of this, and fancy that a chronic, inactive grudge of this kind bodes them no harm. But the Eastern despots look upon the liberty of France as a new stumbling•stone in their way, which can be removed, and their hatred of it is as active as it is relentless. They are anxious to subvert the present dynasty of France, because it is of revolutionary origin, because it professes to reign in virtue of the people's choice, and because it is, therefore, by its mere existence, a standing protest against the legitimacy of the titles by which they claim to occupy their thrones. Knowing this, the Emperor of the French knows that though there may be occasional truces, and even alliances, between the English Government and the old despotisms, he has no such intervals of peace to expeet ; that so long as these Governments exist he must sleep with his arms under his pillow, and keep his powder dry. This is another reason why French dis trust of the equivocal conduct of Austria should be pro claimed earlier and with less reserve than English. Tuese considerations afford good ground for hope that the sentiments of the two great Western Allies on this score are the same, and that England is only behind France in expressing distrust of Austria, not of enter taining it. The two great Western Powers of Europe have nothing to fear from the enmity of the Eastern despots ; but they have much to dread from theirfrieud ship. The entire, unreserved confidence of France and England, and their distrust and defiance of all other powers, present just now the only security for the future of both.and of all civilised Europe.—Daily News. THE WAR.-THE VIENATA PROPOSALS. The Czar refuses the new Vienna proposals, and Aus tria declines to accept the refusal as a cusus belli. Aus tria continues satisfied with her position of "perfect neu trality." At any rate she will wait for the capture of Sebastopol—or the Greek kalends. Such is the course which, after eighteen months spent in negotiation, the chivalrous young Emperor of Austria has decided on pursuing. A morning contemporary who has steadfastly supported the policy of the Austrian Go vernment, under the most trying circumstances, is much astonished and chagrined at a result which every one whose knowledge of the empire extended beyond the su burbs of Vienna perceived to be highly probable, if not inevitable. For, however much the foreign interests of Austria may be endangered by the admission of Russia, her domestic policy essentially depends upon Russian support. No one who was not blinded by Austrian as surances, or Austrian prejudices, could for a moment have believed that the Cabinet of Vienna would declare war against that of St. Petersburg, 'at a time when an essentially Russian policy was still pursued towards Croatia and Hungary. The Times informs us that the active operations of war have been delayed for so many months for the sake of obtaining the concurrence of Austria ; and our contem porary admits that the expedition to Sebastopol could have been undertaken with at least an equal prospect of success at the commencement of the campaign instead of its conclusion. To Austrian diplomacy, therefore, we are indebted for the irreparable losses we have sustained by the delay of our army at Gallipoli and Varna. We must thank our neutral ally for the cruel ravages com mitted by disease in our camp, and for the additional sacrifices which will be occasioned whenever Sebastopol is attacked, in consequence of the preparations that Rus sia has made during the last six months for our recep tion there. There are, indeed, some persons who believe that the retreat of the Russians has been occasioned by the threatened hostility of Austria ; but they should remem ber that the Russian army retreated before the Austrians advanced, and that when the Russian troops halted the Austrians halted also. The retirement of the Russians, and the occupation of Wallachia by the Austrians, bears every appearance of having been concerted between Count Baol and his brother-in-law, Count Meyendorff. For, in the first place, the Russians have not, as we now know from authority, anything to dread in the way of hostility from the occupying army ; and in the second, the latter are playing to admiration the game of the Russians themselves, by forcing on the reluctant Wal lachians Prince Stirbey, a man devoid of energy and destitute of popularity, instead of the able and patriotic General Magh6ro, who had been called to the post by the unanimous voice of his countrymen, and whose ap pointment had received the approval of the Porte. Of course the Czar had nothing to say to Count Buol's propositions. Why should her Why should be con sent to tear up existing treaties, the price of a century's policy and war, unless absolutely compelled ? What excuse would he have to offer, after all his braggadocio ? Why, he dares not now do it, unless beaten. And we have not gone the way to beat him. We have avoided his armies in the field, and have not sought them in their fortresses. A single month has sufficed to destroy the illusions respecting the strength of granite batteries and the -value of the Austrian alliance. These delusions have followed to the same limbo the opinion so decisively pronounced previously to the commencement of the war, that the first shot fired would be the signal for the destruction of Turkey. And we are happy to find in some admirable letters which are now appearing in the Times respecting the 'various Christian races of Greece and Roumelia, full confirmation of the opinion which, in opposition to our contemporary, we from the first ventured to express, namely, that the project of forming 6 133, , s1ntine Empire, based on Greek nationality, to re place the sway of the Sultan at Constantinople, was a scheme almost as chimerical and absurd as ,it undoubt edly was perfidious and revolutionary. A. passage in the Moniteur of last week has escaped our contemporaries. It gave, extracted from an Eng lish paper, descriptions of Kars and Erzeroum, and added that such accounts were more than usually inte• resting, as it was the intention of the allied Governments to occupy those towns by Anglo-French troops. Though this was not in the official part of the Moniteur , it ins plied the belief of th e e dit or o f th e j ourna l that Anglo- French troops were going into Asia. We do not know if such an event is rendered more or less likely by the unfavourable news of the battle which has reached us this week. No doubt Kars and Erzeroum might by this time have been secure. Enough might easily have been done to prevent the possibility of Russian conquest. Twenty or thirty thousand Anglo- French would have expelled the Russians from Georgia. But it has been the rule of the present war to sacrifice everything to small and secondary aims, as if great ones were beyond our spirit and grasp. We fortified Gallipoli when we ought to have attacked Sebastopol, and we take Bomarsund when we should have bom barded Cronstadt. Under cover of preparing for the capture of Sebasto pol, we have tarried for months at Varna, and the re sult is a greater loss than we could have suffered in action, without any result whatever. No doubt it was Austria's hope from the first to occupy the Principalities without incurring the actual hostility of Russia. But since the latter has returned a defiant answer to Count Buol's proposals this may have become less certain, and who knows but that Marshal St. Arnaud may not even yet, notwithstanding his order of the day and the em barkations already begun, find himself under the sup posed necessity of recommending that the bulk of the army should be kept near the Danube, in order to pre vent Austria from being crushed ? Austrian neutrality is an expensive thing. It is now six weeks and upwards since the first an nouncement that the flower of the Anglo-French army was to proceed to Sebastopol. The Russians, we may be sure, have not lost these six weeks. We know that a Russian steamer which got out of Sebastopol looked in at Odessa, as if for experiment, and returned safely to the fortified harbour. The blockade had been relaxed for the purpose of bringing the army to Sebas topol. We have not yet accomplished that design, and we have done what we could to enable the Russians to baffle our attempt at its accomplishment. Grave imputations have this week been levelled at the naval commanners. It has been asserted that the ad mirals in the Baltic and the Black-Sea have not done all that even their orders enjoined or vvould have em powered them to do. This statement, from a journal known to receive ministerial communications, the naval commanders must meet as they can. The same journal could not find words of teprobation strong enough when Lords Clanricarde and Dudley Stuart criticised the movements of the fleets. It was so ungenerous to attack the absent commanders. And when those members of the houses of Parliament declared that their censure was directed against the ministry and not against the admi- rah, the indignation of the • Times was by no means en- tirely appeased. Now, however, we a're told by the same authority that these brave officers have not done all that was expected of them. We must observe, how ever, on their behalf, that the declaration accords strangely ill with the positive assurance from the same quarter that the effective prosecution of the war was suspended until the concurrence of Austria could be se cured. It will be poor encouragement to men burdened with such heavy responsibility as that which weighs upon Sir Charles Napier and Apmiral Dundas, if they are to a_ e made the scape-goats of deluded diplomatists.— Examin MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

A day or two ago two little boysen m we o r v e ed wa b lk y i a ng su a d l d on en g the High-street at Windsor, when, impulse, one of them, whom we shall call Tom J ones , remarked to his companion, in an interrogative form— " Don't you remember ?" His companion, whom we m ay designate as little Joseph Andrews, in real or af fected ignorance of the circumstances to which his friend referred, simply replied—" I have no recollection what ever I" Now, by a strange coincidence it so happened that Major Maxwell and Adjutant M'Alister, two of the bright luminaries who adorn the firmament of the 46th, happened to be passing that way. Did the conscience of Maxwell give him an unusual pinch ? Did a dark cloud of sullenness obscure the mind of the candid M'Alister ? We know not, but they were moved to wrath. It saems strange that officers of that truly honourable corps should thus allow their passions to get the better of them without adequate cause. Young Perry—and he was but a lad —was deeply to blame for turning upon those who had made him the subject of personal brutality, but the sensitive Major and choleric Adjutant were justified in turning upon Masters Jones and Andrews for verbal jocularity. Conscience some times lends a string to a jest, and converts a street joke into an insult. Now, it does seem a little hard to us that the undaunted witnesses of the 46th should be able to mete out Horse Guards' justice to others and o btain civilian's justice for themselves. Let the bench of Windsor magistrates —or whoever the authorities raaY, b 3 —constitut e th emse l ves a Court-Martial in the case of Masters Jones and Andrews, who have, we un derst; e of been w rong f u l ly handed into the custody o f the police or the P rovost - marshal, and set about their pro sir ceedill i d • With the fixed cleteratinaticla of aiTiPg 090' and M'Alister a month a-piece at the treadmill, what ever may happen. If Would be proper, in the first place, we should conceive, to constitute them prisoners, and con sider Masters Jones and A n d re ws as prouecutors. ' The good of the street ,service at 'Windsor requires the substitue tion. When this has been effected, Master Jones may be allowed to prove his case by the evidence of Master Andrews, and vice versd. The questions should be few and simple. Master Andrews might be asked—" DO you upon any occasion remember that Master Jonei put to you, in the High-street of Windsor, the following question, "Do you remember ?' " Master Andrews might then reply—"l have not the slightest recollection whatever." It would be then proper to invoke the testi. mony of a few by-standers—the peculiar intimates and associates of the two friends, who would of course, like them, "have no recollection whatever." Let the next question to these witnesses -be as to character :—"Frotn, your knowledge of Master Jones, should you say that he was a young person in the habit of poking fun at the p • asse-s-by in the public streets ?" Th e stereotype d re ply for each and all of the witnesses might run some thing as follows :—" From my knowledge of Master Jones, I am able state with great confidence to this honourable Court that he never thought of such a thing. If he has a defect, it is that of over-seriousness and too anxious attendance at the Sunday school. When some bad boys endeavoured to teach him the words of the popular air known as Pop goes the Weasel,' it is a fa c t that Master Jones couldn't be brought to do it to any other tune than that of the Evening Hymn," when Court—"they w o Can 3, suddenly oui nf converted."' ster Q A ue n s d t r io ewwhy t h e n, from the 'young gentlemen of Windsor appear to have taken a Master prejudi ce aga i ns t the two prisoners?" Answer from Andrews,—" On account of their forward and presuming behaviour." In dealing with the evidence for the d e f ence, i t w ill on l y b e neces sary for the magis trates to remember that their great care must be to pre vent the prisoners from calling any witness who could be of the slightest use to them ; or, if such an one should by inadvertence be introduced, the nuisance must be forthwith abated, by informing him that his testimony was not wanted. The Court had just ooesog rgef m .aten i ha n etl d tvf s ehaticer o etsu n ni tet l only the fromwi eto ohnb bystanders receive fishntratrenhedmee rec o rd i ng evidence itrrnrsdutnerbgsel ealgse f got ft troublesome foregone conclusion the reeitgdhoof,e wit nessp i ne theretpodmade could can ocuuwu rhdr etcd e nhhe ce n p ebir conclusion :—" Major Maxwell and Adjutant M'Alister are found guilty of offence c harged —namely, of having been jocularly addressed, but not otherwise, and are sentenced accordingly to a month a-piece at the tread mill, with recommendation to mercy on account of their size." This finding must then be sent up to Lord Har dinge, and will be soon returned with the note of that military Minos :—" Approved, but Major Maxwell allowed the use of slippers and flannel waistcoats while on the wheel, in consideration of his age and rheuma tism." Such would be a specimen of pure Horse Guards' justice. But we cannot with a good heart indulge in mere joking over the honour and character of the British officer. Lord Hardinge has chosen his path ; let him see where it will end. He may be acquainted with the temper of the British soldier, but he knows little indeed of the temper of the British people if he presumes that he has heard the:last of the scandalous business of Mee, Perry. Can he or anybody be surprised that the officers of the 46th have become the objects of the gibes and jeers of the passers-by ? Certainly we do not commend those who violate or provoke to a violation of the public peace. Could we suppose that any words of ours would be effective to that end, we would entreat the young women and little boys at Windsor to desist, and leave the officers of the 46th to the enjoyment of their own success and the position they have made for themselves. But we know well, in a case of this kind, that remon strance is utterly unavailing, even when the parties are in the right ; what must it be when they are so pal pably in the wrong ? Lord Hardinge cannot direct Colonel Garrett to turn the bayonets of her SMajesiy's 46th regiment of infantry against the muffin boys and orange girls of Windsor. We presume that to crown the whole proceeding with a street massacre would be a measure somewhat too strong even for the authorities at the Horse Guards. 'Well, then, what is to be done Supposing, as in the case of the two officers who seized the little boys the other day, they persist in the plan of handing offenders over to the civil authorities? A seemly Spectacle it will be that the Queen's o ffi cers should at any hour of the day be seen chasing the little varlets about the streets of Windsor amid shouts of "Do von remember ?" " I have no recollection whatever." Be sides, every trial will be duly reported, and each case will serve as a fresh stimulus to public indignation. If the officers of the 46th have recourse to open violence, one blow will bring on another ; there will be a general row—murder most probably, and Calcraft at the end of the whole transaction. Lord Hardinge must remember that every civil magistrate, every police-officer, and every man, woman, and child in the Queen's dominions, with the exception of a few attached to the ruling mili tary clique, look upon the conduct of the officers —not of the men, who, we believe, have behaved in an exem plary manner—of this regiment with just indignation ; so they have but little assistance or sympathy to expect, save what must be given them by the strictness of the law. The opinion, if not the hand, of every Englishman is against them. The only course really to be adopted with this notorious regiment—we are speaking only of the officers—is to keep them closely in barracks until they can be smuggled off to the East. From the intel ligence we publish this day we foresee the probable occur rence of events which all men would be anxious to avoid. We call Lord Hardinge's attention to the matter while it is yet time, and before the blood of any of the Queen's subjects has been shed. In the present frame of the public mind at Windsor a collision between the soldiers and the people is far indeed from being an improbable event, and the consequences of such collisions in the pro vinces we have had to record even within the last few days.—Times. DREADFUL MURDER OF AN ENGLISH LADY AND GENTLEMAN IN GREECE. ATHENS, Sept. I.—Great sensation has been caused here on receipt of intelligence from Negropont, that Mr. Henry Leeves and his wife have both been mur dered in their house in the village of Castaniotiza, of which village and a considerable extent of land he was the proprietor. All that is known here at present is, that the crime was perpetrated on Sunday, the 28th ult.; that a forcible entry of the house was effected; that Mr. Leeves attempted resistance, and wounded one of the assassins, but was overpowered, and that after the double murder a quantity of silver plate was carried off. Mr. Leeves was about 30 years of age, son of a former chaplain to the British mission at Athens, and married about 18 months since a young lady whose family reside at Manchester, who a few months since gave birth to a child, respecting the fate of which nothing is stated. It appears that Mr. Leeves held the appointment of British consular agent, or vice-consul, at Negropont: Mr. Wyse, British Minister at Athens, on receiving official intelligence of this chocking affair, instantly took steps towards instituting the most searching in quiry, with the view, if possible.. of discovering the murderers and bringing them to justice. Immediate orders were sent to the Piraeus, to the commander of her Majesty's war -steamer Medina, to get up her steam and proceed to Negropont ; and Mr. Merlin, British vice consul at Athens, and Mr. Locock, attaché to the British mission, were directed to proceed in the Medina with the Greek authorities, to make the most rigid investi gations on the spot. They left the Piraeus yesterday. The Rev. Dr. Hill, chaplain to the British mission, voluntarilyntimately a cg aee e expedition, cea s e dand h ash t e had o? g beenthought he in timately acquainted the witht d deceased , might be of use in protecting the infant, should it have escaped the fate of its parents. On account of the indisposition of Mr. Charles Kean, the re-opening of the Princess's Theatre is postponed until the 25th of the month, when a new drama is to be presented, with Mr. Ryder in the principal character. After superintending its production, Mr. Kean will ab stain from his artistic duties for a month. A meeting of the Adelphi company is appointed for Monday next, and the season will commence on that day week. At Sadler's Wells, Shakspere's play of Pericles is in rehear sal, having, we suppose, undergone various alterations from the original text.—Musical Transcript. tiet- FATAL A C CIDENT AT MARGATE.—An inquest w as h e ld oundualiyambeHfoadoryeMo,r. J. G. Thompson, th p a son a ck porter. It appeared that the deceased w a s occas i onally Town-hall o nthebod o y n o f Monday employed as a night constable, and was on duty on Friday night week on the Fort. At about two o'clock in the morning of Saturday a communication was received at the station-house, in consequence of whi c h one of the men was immediately despatched to the spot indicated under tbe cliff, whenhefaund the deceased q u it e deal. No proof could be produced of the cause of the accident, but the supposition was that deceased, who was a particularly shrewd man, having bad his attention drawn to the spot near the camera obscura by some noise, and thinking that some one was on the move, ap proached too near the edge of the cliff and fell over. One of the coastguardmen had a narrow escape, as he had but just passed the spot, and he has since been very ill from the fright he received. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased died from a fall from the cliff." He was a young man of sober and industrious habits, and leaves a widow and four young children. A sub scription has been set on foot to relieve their wants. — South. Eastern Gazette.
