..‘,l 0 E .k IA I ANI) (.10M %, T ENI (Icy. o'CLOCK The sales 'of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500 Ameri can, and 1,000 taken for export and on specula tion. The market was steady, and prices of all kinds remain without change. The sales com prised 5,500 American, 150 Pernam and Maran ham, at 6kd. to 60., 100 Bahia at bid to 611, 200 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd., and 2,000 Surat at 2id. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares continued dull and inactive. The state of the Silk Market during the present mouth is thus described by Mr. Henry W. Eaton The public sales of raw silk concluded yesterday. The quantity sold in the room was as usual small, but a large busineis has been done in Chinas by private con tract ; the sales I should say exceeding 2,500 bales, re sulting ;n an advance of is. to 2s. 6(1. per lb. on the rates of August. The prices realised have been 17s. 61 and 18s. 6d. for best first and second Tsatlees, 14s. to 16s. for other sorts, and lls, to 14s. for Taysaams. The fully confirmed reports from China of short settlements and the inferiority of the new silk has caused consider able buoyancy in the market, and the unprecedentedly large quantity of 6,000 to 7,000 bales have changed hands during the last four weeks. In Bengals there is little alteration-; rather more has been doing, but the qualities offered are not generally adapted to present re quirements." The Produce Markets generally during this month may be said to have decidedly improved, a better demand having arisen for the principal staples, both for home use and exports. The im ports, however, are large, and the stocks generally exceed those of the corresponding date of 1853. In the accounts from Germany mention is made of rather an important circumstance, viz., the in creasing scarcity of ammunition in Russia, and of the materials for manufacturing it. So severely is 1 5 -0 this felt, that the Government at .St. Petersburg u is making every exertion to discover mines of lead, I s p sulphur, or coals, and will resume the working of 19i those which hitherto have been neglected. For- 14 merly a large quantity of lead was obtained from the mines of Finland, when that country belonged st. to Sweden, but subsequently the working of them 20 was abandoned, owing to the cheapness of the 10 article supplied from abroad. In proof of the 12 , existing scarcity, it may be mentioned that the 50 t • price of lead, which in ordinary times is 11 roubles 40 per good, has risen to 6 roubles. Sulphur likewise, F 25 owing to the blockade, is extremely scarce. st. The return of the French Customs Receipts for it 2s the first nine months of 1854 gives the to tal at sstt: only 107,000,000 francs, being a falling off to the 50 amount of 70,000,000 francs, compared with the .0 like date of 1853. The arrival of the steamer Atlantic has occa sioned great satisfaction, seeing she is the bearer of news that 109 passengers, in addition to those pre viously reported, have been saved from the Arctic. The greatest anxiety prevails on the part of those who had relatives on board to ascertain the names. The amount of specie is 900,000 dollars. The letters are not yet delivered. The Stock market has not maintained yesterday's improvement, the statement that M. Soule, the American Minister at Madrid, had been refused admission into France, on his way to Spain, having occasioned some uneasiness, or given at least en couragement to the Bear party who previously were inclined to operate with greater boldness upon the rumour of a new French loan being con templated. The funds being high at present, how ever, a reaction of 1 per cent. is of no moment Consols have been 944 to 1 for tri isrer, and 941 for account. East India Bonds have been 11s. premium. The New 3 (late 31) per Cents. have realised 931 to 938, and the 3 per Cents. 93 to 1. Bank Stock has been buoyant at 211 to 2121. Foreign. Securities are almost nominal. Sar dinian Bonds have been dealt in at 88k, Russian 5 per Cents. at 96. Peruvian 41 per Cents. have been at 71. Dutch 4 per Cents. are 90k- to 91±. . The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 to 6 ; Mexi can, 22i- to 231 ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto, per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to ; Russian 5 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; ditto, 4i per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 381 to 1 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 37 to 38 ; ditto, Certificates, 5 to 51 ; ditto, Passive, 4Z to 5.

FIRES YESTEEDAY.—Betvireen four and five o'clock yesterday morning the Queen's Theatre, in Tottenham street, Tettenhatrecourtenad, earroaly- escaped destruc tion by fire, which, it appears, broke out at the back part of the stage, under the floorieg. When discovered, the flarnee had possession of the whole of the flooring, joieting, and scenery, and, but for the promptitude ens . Played by the police, and the speedy arrival of the en gines, the building must have been quickly burned to th d e ground. The camel of the fire is not yet ascertaine. Previous to the above outbreak no fewer than nine other fires occurred in the course of the morning in various parts of the metropolis, but were got under before any • serious mischief had resulted. GALLANT CONDUCT.—A private letter, from a n off- GALLANT on boa r d one o f th e ships of the Pacific squadron, states that, during a visit to Nuka iliva (one of the Marquesas Islands), Mr. Nugent, a naval cadet belong ing to her Majesty's skip President, was saved from drowning by C ommander Coeno ll y , who incurred great risk of his own life in, the act of Raving young gentlem an . that of the E NI A Li, K.

(BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, 2 P.M. At neon this day a fire broke out in the large block of warehouses, Launcelut's-hey, and is still raging. They contain cotton, tallow, oil, and tur pentine. An explosion took place at 2 o'clock, and great fears are entertained that all the warehouses and their contents will be entirely destroyed. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 20.—The Ministry having stolen a march upon the Upper House, by so sud denly and unexpectedly summoning the deputa tion of the Lower House 'to an audience of the King, whereby there has not been time for the Lands thing to join in the same, this Chamber, in this morning's sitting, pronounced itself in favour of the address, instead of adopting its words. When Chamberlain Krabbe's motion for an address (his sketch being that adopted by the Folk-thing) came on for discussion, Count Knuth, the magnate land. holder and former Foreign Minister, moved that the House pass to the order of the day, adopting the following resolution : "The Upper House, which shares the sentiments and unites in the ♦iews adopted in the address carried in the Folk-thing, but which does not find it advisable to pre sent an address to the King, with this declaration passes to the order of the day." This was carried by the prodigious majority of 41 to 2 (Bardenflath and Leaninich). So much for the public opinion of this country, as expressed in its legal organs. The King has informed the deputation of the Commons' House that he will give them an answer to their address at some future period, through their Speaker. Every one interprets this to mean that he will retain his Cabinet, and play a high card for whole-state Absolutism. When the Parliament opened, its members were not invited to the palace, as is usual ; and now the deputation, after a lon g an d wear i s ome drive of 20 English miles (from Copenhagen to Frederiksborg), were not offered the least refresment. Rumours of a dissolution continue. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Maule.) Mr. Clarkson applied to the Court to postpone the trial of the Rev. Mr. Ferguson, a Roman Catholic priest, for having solemnised a marriage in an illegal manner and contrary to the provisions of the Dissenters' Mar riage Act, to the next session, on the ground that the bill had only been found on the previous day, and, as the question was likely to involve important points of law, there had not been sufficient time to prepare the defence. Mr. Bodkin opposed the application, which was ordered to stand over until affidavits were laid before the Court stating the grounds on which the postponement was opposed. Joseph Farrell, the bank clerk, indicted for defrauding the Bank of England of a large sum of money lay means of forged dividend warrants, pleaded guilty to one of the indictments which charged him with embezzlement. Sentence was postponed. The Rev. Hugh Pollard Willoughby was indicted for feloniously shooting at Mr. Hardinge Stanley Gifford, the barrister, with intent to murder him. Mr. M‘Murdo, the surgeon of Newgate, and Dr. Forbes Winslow, were examined as to the sanity of the prisoner. The Jury returned a ♦erdict of ~ Nut guilty," •n the ground of insanity."

Lord John Russell, Lord President of her Mjesty's Council, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, the Earl Ducie, the Right Hon. Sir A. Cockburn, her M a j est y 's Attorney General, and other eminent and distinguishes persons assisted at it, The chair was taken by the president of the institu tion' P. W. S. Mills, Esq. Among the distinguished guests on his right and left were the Right Worshipful the Mayor, J. G. Shaw, Esq. ; Lord John Russell, Earl Ducie, the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, M.P., W. H. G. Laegton, Esq., M.P., the Very Rev. the Dean. Dr. Elliott ; Captain Scobell, M.P., T. Phinn, Esq., M.P., Sir Arthur Elton, &c. At the close of the repast, and the loyal toasts having been drunk The Right Worshipful the Mayer ' in an eloquent ad dress, proposed " Th e H e alths o f Lord John Russell, and the distinguished Visitors." Lord John Russell, who was loudly cheered, in re• spotiding to the toast, said---I rise to return my grateful thanks for the honour you have done me. Your mayor has said that this is a moment of very great anxiety to me. No doubt it is for every member of the Government. But all we, who have to depend upon the exertions of our countrymen, may feel a full reliance that our confi dence in them may not be misplaced, My noble friend at the head of the army and my right hon. friend at the head of the navy may feel a full and steadfast reliance that any service which British soldiers—that any service which British sailors--may be called on to perform, will, however difficult that service may be, be performed with that courage and skill which have distinguisbed our country at all times. (Cheers.) And so likewise I may say with regard to my own department, that this country having resolved in its various branches and in various manners that the people shall be educated, that that task will be adequately performed ; and that in a few years we shall, I trust, be able to say that the remain ing defects will be amended and the remaining de ficiencies be supplied. For my part, as your mayor, who has done me the honour of proposing my health, has said, I have always looked for further security for our justly-venerated institutions to the -knowledge, the examination, and the cordial support of an enlightened people. (Cheers.) I was to-day shown in looking cursorily over your building, a building which does so much honour to your liberality and your taste, and to the .knowledge and genius of your architects—l was shown a part of that building of which it is said that there had been doubts respecting its sta bility. But it has been subjected to the severest tests— it has gone through those tests with success, and its supporters were found to remain unshaken. (Hear, bear.) In the same manner is the support of a free Go vernment like ours unshaken when its rests are an en- lightened people. (Cheers.) I believe, therefore, that in furthering in my office to the best of my power the efforts which the people themselves are prepared to make for their education, I am not preparing means by which the Government of her Majesty the Queen or of her successors will be impaired ; but I am preparing means by which their rule will be perpetuated and strengthened. (Cheers.) With these words I beg again to thank you, and to assure you that it has afforded tee the greatest happiness to assist you in the performance of this day's duties, and to encourage the cause in which we have all embarked. The noble lord resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. " The Health of the President," "Prosperity to the Bristol Atbenseum," &c., were drunk and responded to, and the meeting was addressed I>y Sir Arthur Elton, the Hon. F. H. Berkeley, W. H. G. Langton, Esq., and other gentlemen. The inaugural address will be delivered by Lord John Russell this evening, at a soiree, at whioh all the leading men of the neighbourhood and many eminent persons will be present.

NEW EVIDENCE IN TEE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS —Tit the approaching sittings of the Ecclesiasticrl Court, the act to alter the mode of evidence will take practical effect. The Court, if they think fit, may hear evidence by " word of mouth," as expressed by the act, or as hp gaily called, viva ewe, and it may be received either before or after deposition or affidavit. Another im provement is, that the evidence is te be taken down. DAILY COMMUNICATIONS 'WITH TM! EAST.—The Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige writes to that journal that the French, English, and Turkish authori ties at Constantinople have combined to organise a ser vice which will supply a daily communication between the Crimea and the capitals of England andFi once. A steamer, it is .aid, will be despatched day by day as a rule from Se bastopol, Balaklava, or some other convenient port to Constantinople, where the intelligence it conveys will be forwarded by courier to Bucharest, and thence further to Kronstadt or Hermanstadt, both inTransylvania, and the nearest respective termini of the Austrian telegraphic line. In the present and expected state of navigation and of the country to be traversed it is not anticipated that news will be transmitted nnder this arrangement in a shorter space than eight or nine days. The extension of a tele graphic line from a point in the Austrian system to Bu charest will abridge the interval by a day ; but this work is not likely to be complete for a month or five weeks. FATAL ACCIDENT AT SEA.—The steamer Islay, which arrived at Greenock from the north on Saturday morn ing, brought the intelligence of the death of her master, Captain John Uric, by drowning. On her arrival off Tobermory, about two a.m. of Friday, the steamer was obliged te wait off the harbour until the tide should per mit her entrance. Captain Urie told hie mate to go below and rest himself, while he watched for the proper time at which to take the steamer up te the town. He was last seen on the quarter-deck. A girl, who was a passenger, heard a splash, and, as she thought, a cry, and told some of the crew, but when they went on deok all was quiet, and ne ill was suspected. .About two hours afterwards the captain was missed, and the boat was lowered and the crew began dragging, and in a short time the body was found below the steamer. The cause of his falling overboard is unknown, bat it is supposed that he had been sitting on the quarter-deck rail, and, tired out by want of proper rest during a stormy pas sage, had dropped asleep and fallen into the sea.— Greenock Advertiser. ATTENDAYOB 02 WITNESS2S.—AriOng the common law reforms of last session is an stet to compel the atten dance of witnesses out of the jurisdiction of the courts of common law. It is entituled "An Act to enable the Courts of Law in England, Ireland, and Scotland to issue process to compel the attendance of witnesses out of their jurisdiction, and to give effect to the service of such process in any part of the)United Kingdom." The act is likely to ho enforced at the forthcoming sitting of the courts. It is stated in the preamble that great inconvenience arises in the administration of justi• tics from the want of a power in the superier ce courts to compel the attendance of witnesses resident in one part of the United Kingdom at a trial in another, and the examination of such witnesses by commission is net in all cases a sufficient remedy. It is therefore en acted that witnesses shall attend, and a statement is to be made at the bottom of the writ that it was issued under a special order. Witnesses making default in at tending are to Le punished by the court of the country in which the process was served, but persons are not to be punished unless it is shown that sufficient money to pay the expenses of coming and returning had been ten dered. The act is not to prevent the admissibility of evidence where now receivable, nor to prevent the issuing of a commission to examine witnesses. Tire HIGH PRIDE OP BRIIAD.—NOTTINGIIAW, Wed nesday.—Last night, about half-past seven o'clock, a number of persons, principally youths, assembled before the shop of Mr. North, baker, of Colwick-street, in the lower pert of the town, and broke a number of panes of glass in his windows.

We have now moderate wind, fine weather. and a calm sea. A considerable fleet of light colliers have reached the northern ports, and the harbours have also been tolerably cleared of laden ♦essels detained by the bad wea,ther of last week. The weather and state of the sea • are favourable to the operations for the recovery of the ' vessels stranded on the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire coasts by the terrible gale of this night week, and hopes are entertained that the loss of the north country ship ping property will be less serious than was at one time anticipated. Several vessels have been already got off, among which are the Bosphorus, the llebe, and the Hamilton, belonging to this port ; the Essay, of Sun derland ; the Nicholas Wood, screw collier, and six or eight other craft whose names are not reported. Five or six sail of vessels, timber laden, from America, got ashore in the gale ; the Emporium, as already re ported, was wrecked near Robin Hoed's Bay, on the Yorkshire coast, and the master, his see, the cook, and the apprentice was drowned. She appears to have broken up. The Regent, of this port, which was bringing timber from British America to Grimsby, and had 21 of the shipwrecked crew of the Devonport on board, whom they picked up on the banks of Newfound land, stranded, but, we are informed by telegraph, is likely to be got off, with her cargo. The Niagara tim ber laden, which went ashore at Hendon, nenr Sunder land, in the gale, will also be recovered for the owners and underwriters. The Ocean Queen, another timber laden vessel, which broke from her anchor and ran out if Sunderland Roads in the gale, is reported to have found a safe roadstead. As anticipated, the reports brorght in by vessels which weathered out the gale at eta are less favourable, and it is to he feared that corns vessels have gone down in the storm outside and drowned all bands. The brig Favourite has passed a seaman's chest, some oars and spars, north-west of Flamborough Head ; the Northumberland screw collier has also passed through a quantity of furniture off the Spurn, and the bodies of five seamen an i papers belong ing to the Norwegian schooner Tanager have been cast ashore near Grimsby. Mr. Watts, master of the Rugby, of Stockton, from Quebec, al.o reports passing a quan tity of sleepers aid water-casks off the Doggerbank this night week.

Martin (tie chief mourners), Ic., and were removed to the residence of the deceased, in Wimpole-street, whence they will be conveyed to their last resting place in seisal•green Cemetery to-morrow or Saturday. MILITARY. As stated in Tkc Sun of yesterday, the 72d Righ• Landers disembarked on Tuesday at Kingstown harbour. The Alps steamer, with the re g iment on board, arrived at 1 o'clock the same morning , but the troops, of coarse, remained on board until daylight, and at 10 o'clock they ppoceeded by train to Dublin. It is reported that they are destined for immediate service in the East. Even among the "picked" of the Highland regiments it would be difficult to find a finer body of men than the "Duke of Albany's." There is net apparently among the privates a man whose stature does not exceed 5 feet 7 inches; the average height of the whole corps ranging, perhaps. between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches. After disembarking, the regiment =roiled through Dublin, en route to the railway station at Kingebridge, and, to judge by their appearance and bearing, one would be led to suppose that they had just turned fresh out of barracks for the purpose of inspection, instead of being but a few hours released from a transport-ship, with all the hardships incidental to a voyage acres, the Atlantic. The 72d wear the "trews," but the head dress is the same as the 42d and the other kilted regi ments. CAPTAIN A. MACDONALD.-1 report has been cireu lated in Kilkenny for the past few days that this officer had died of his wounds in the Crimea. We (Moderator) are happyto be enabled to contradict this rumour, which arose from one of the deceased officers having borne the same family name. Captain Macdonald was progressing; most favourably, as appears by the following character istic remark of his gallant father, Lieutenant-General Macdonald, in a letter just received by E. Smitwick, Esq. : "I have had good accounts of ray two lone in the Crimea. The eldest was able to keep the field, and his wound was doing wall when he last wrote on the 28th of September—probably better than if he had allowed himself to be packed off with the others to Con stantinople. Besides, there are hard knocks and much work yet before them, and I must only trust that vio tory may attend them, and my boys be spared." THE MILITIA. The Royal Bucks Militia, Colonel Carrington com mandant, now out for duty at Weedon, is becoming extremely efficient. This regiment is under orders to relieve the Essex Rifles at Windsor about the middle of December. The Middlesex Rifle Militia, Colonel Viscount En field, complete their 23 days' drill at ,Barnet on Satur- day, the 28th, when it is expected that the nen will be for the present dismissed to their homes. The regiment has been inspected by several distinguished military officials, who were highly pleased with the soldier•like bearing of the men, the precision of their manceavres, and general discipline.
