The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken for export. The sales comprised 5,000 American 200 Pernam and Maranham, at 5.0. to 60.; 100 Bahia, at 54d. to 61; 100 Egyptian, at 6/d. to 70.; arid l,OOO Surat, at 24..1. to 30, per lb. The market was tame at previous rates.—ln Railway Shares a very limited busi ness was done at rather lower prices. Grain is at full prices. Complaints are made of the very small return hitherto upon the shares of Rastrick's Manchester Railway Com pany, and certainly the expenditure must have been very extravagant to leave 41. 3s. 6d. only out of 51. 55., con sidering the large number of shares taken up. The balance would make up an immense sum, and unless the scheme had actually been brought before Parliament this ought not to have been wholly expended. The subscribers are loudly complaining, arid appear grie- vously disappointed, as much at the delay in the final winding-up of the concern as at the heavy deduction, We fear, however, that a little inquiry would satisfy any one of the miserably tedious working of the " Win ding-up Act." The lcgsl impediments thrown in th e way by interested parties, the withholding of minute_ books by various juggles and evasions, the embezzlement of the memoranda and records that would establish the liability of managing committeemen for expenses incurred, and thus satisfy the be ed creditor, and relieve the mere honorary member of the company—the " Provisional" — are all evils to be deplored, and evils which, as it appears to those interested, are not boldly grappled with by the Masters in Chancery. If a more stringent view were taken of such maueeuvres, and the non-produc tion of minutes were taken as prim'd facie evi dence of the liability of the managing committee in whose possession they were known constantly to have been, some abortive undertakings that we could name would have been wound up long since to the content ment of creditors, contributories4and committeemen. The original intent of the Act seems, however, to have been entirely averted, and so far from assistance being ren dered to creditors, against the powerful combination of a few scheming committeemen, every possible technical difficulty is thrown in the way. The creditor is required —or at least asked—to prove what particular members of the managing committee sat upon each occasion of the board meeting, so as to partition the debt liability among them. At first sight this may not appear un reasonable, but when the practical difficulty is shown the injustice becomes obvious. In some cases the secre tary has vanished entirely from the scene, being, of course, well paid to do so, and with him are gone the minute-books and the principal documents. Collateral evidence, therefore, is alone, available ; and if a creditor can prove that the secretary was duly registered, ()relent he was recognised and received his salary as such, and then further establishes the fact that this official gave certain orders which the said creditor executed, there should be an end of the matter as far as the latter is concerned. Neither in equity or law ought he to be made to prove more, and the whole of the managing com mittee should be compelled to contribute equally towards the debt. Then, probably, one or other of its members would protest that they attended not the board meetings as often as their colleagues, but we should meet that plea by declaring that they gave general sanc tion to the officer of the company to act in their behalf, and if not, that they should have attended the board, and protested against expenses being incurred. They suffered the public to trust the company, or scheme, on the faith of their respectability, and, like the partner of a private firm, should be legally, as they are morally, liable. Taking the extreme view, however, that those who attended the board meetings oftenest aro moat liable, the onus of proof or disproof should be thrown upon them. Thus, if a creditor proves his orders from the secretary, let the Master direct all members of the ma naging body to pay an equal contribution, because if dissatisfied at the apportionment, they can at once assist the Master in snore equitably dividing the liability, by producing the minute-books. The principle of equal contribution is, however, the right one, for when once a managing committeeman—say the chairman, for example —shows that he has paid any debt fairly incurred by the secretary for the company, such chairman can reco ver from his colleagues their share of the payment. To the host of claimants now before the Chancery Court, the importance of some common-sense decisions corre sponding to our suggestions have long been obvious, and unless given will protract the proceedings, and cause farther appeals to the common-law courts, where, after all, there is in these cases most equity. The accounts from the United States are satisfactory upon the whole, but the failures have not entirely ceased. A very heavy one had occurred at Salem for three quarters of a million of dollars. Money was tight, and there was some uneasiness, but no specie comes by this opportunit'y, and this may prove some relief. Daring the week about half a million of dollars had been shipped in specie from New York, and previously this year 31,289,000 dollars. From New York it is stated— " The only item of importance in which there has been any activity, in the way of exports, is bread:tuffs; but the movements in breadstuffs have been limited. It will be seen that the exports to Liverpool, during the week have been quite small. We can hardly con ceive it possible that a week could elapse without greater shipment of merchandise to Liverpool than appears in the above statement. There have been further exports of phosphate of lime to London. The quantity sent forward weekly, thus far, has been small; but we shall, before the lapse of many months, carry on a large trade in t his article. The consumption in England alone is equal to at least fifty thousand tons per annum ; but we cannot supply such a demand at once." Th e Continental letters report no striking novelty in the Money Markets, but business at Paris was greatly hindered by the political difficulties. At A mster d am, on the 25th ult., the Stock Market was less fir m e i t h er for home securities or Spanish Bonds. The English Stock Market has been particularly buoyant, and a further rise of 4- per cent. has occurred in the quotations. The political intelligence from serious France has not assumed a more definite shape, but tho excessive supply of money finds a probably vent chiefly in the Stock Exchange , . Ow i ng to the absence of speculation in other quarters. d p , r u ie nle si ss wi a ll ny event tl occursthe surplus to a m p a o i u r e y confidence,is invest be upheld, but the operators for a fall come forward, sent itself.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with English Wheat, for which the de mead ruled inactive, at, in some instances, drooping prices. No material change took :place in foreign Wheat. The Barley trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Most other spring corn com manded very little attention. Flour was quite as dear, with a good consumptive demand. Adviccs from New York to the 14th inst. state that rather more business was doing in Flour, at full prices. Grain, however, was much neglected. The French markets have continued very dull. In the Baltic and Back Sea ports, scarcely any business has been trans acted on English account. Up to our market last week the arrivals of home grown produce were small. From abread we received 12,900 quarters of Wheat, 2,575 Barley, 9,010 Oats, 2,107 Beans, 3,903 Linseed, 1,646 Rapeseed, 75 Mus tard seed, 369 sundry seeds, 1,517 sacks and 1,000 bar rels of Flour.; To-day's market was very moderately supplied with samples of Wheat, coastwise, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk. By land-carriage from Norfolk, and some of the midland counties, the receipts were seasonably exten iive, and in excellent condition. On the whole, the stands exhibited bat a limited show of samples of both red and white, in which a fair average business was transacted, at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was readily effected. The number of offers at hand from the east coast, as well as from other parts, was by no means large; yet very few sales were concluded, at about stationary figures. There was a slight increase in the show of fresh Foreign Wheat, whilst that of granaried samples was good. Really fine parcels sold at full currencies. In low and middling kinds very little was doing for home consumption. For shipment to Holland about 500 quarters were disposed of. Scarcely any floating cargoes were offering off Fal mouth. To arrive, 2,000 quarters were taken for Hol land at 32s for Polish Odesse. The show of both English and Foreign Barley was very moderate. Most descriptions were in steady, though by no means active request, at fully last week's quotations. Malt, the supply of which was moderate, moved off steadily, at late rates. With Oats we were very scantily supplied.' Really goad corn sold steadily at a trifle more money, whilst other kinds were quite as dear as last week. We had a slow sale for Beaus, yet prices wore well supported. Virhite Peas were very dull, and the turn lower. In other kinds no change took place. Indian Corn was almost nominal, but a good business was transacted in Flour, at full quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

F -In.—Having already disposed of the great race of Tuesday, with the exception of my final remarks, I shall now in regular order review the bill of fare for the week. There are sixty-one stakes and matches on the list, which gives an average of ten per diem; they will not, however, be so evenly divided, Monday beginning with nine on l y . The list for the day is of the skeleton descre p lion ; six sweepstakes over various courses, al though now nominated for the entries, have not reached me, which in fact matters but little, as ere this ap pears in print above half will have been de cided. The Criterion Stakes of 30 sous. each, 20 it, for two years old; cults, Bst 71b; fillies, Bst Mb; from the turn of the lands in, which, by the bye, is, all up hill, will afford a good criterion of the Lordconsist x o e f t eDeagn Stockwell, e t 0 1 c i t i ) w ' R e l iu e r n k d e , P e t r h h e a ps K ni ght merits of th e an i mals engaged therein. The field will mbr oosfe,tchaeratrae: Frantic, St. Alban, Fidgetty Firl, Glenlnce, and perhaps Red Hind. In consequence of the penalty that will fall to the lot of RED HIND, .1 think her starting very dubious; were she to do so, I should most certainly award her the first or second place; in her ab sence I shall place Daniel O'R our k e fi rst, Genluce second, and Stockwell third. The two Matches over the T.Y.C. will, I fancy, be won by the two Sophistrys. To-morrow's races commence with a Handicap Plate of 100 soya., which, together with six other stakes, have yet to close and name. The field for the great stake of the week—the Cam bridgeshire—will in all probability be very large, and consist of the following:—Bordeaux (i 1), Lady Evelyn (d), Newminster, The Nigger, Grecian, Prime Minis ter, Loadstone, N( ashen (d), Knight of Gwynne, The Italian, Ariosto, Mountain Deer, Ribaldry, Ephesus, Dulcet, Officious, Confidence, Heroine, California, Darkie, Eliza Middleton, Ellerslie, Garforth, The He riot, Huugerford, Haricot, Breba, Deceitful, Mokanna, Paquette, Humphrey, Manifold, Candlewick, Boarding School Miss filly, Follow-me-Lads, and Curl. In sum ming' up, on Saturday, I gave it as my opinion that th e race would be between Prime Minister, Ariosto, Moun tain Deer, Eliza Middleton, Haricot, Ellerslie, Breba, and Newminster. My opinion remains unchanged; but, as eight is rather a tremendous selection, I must cut them down. The Prime Mini s t er , A r i os t o , an d Mountain Deer, I consider much on a par, and know not which to choose from the three. Breba, notwithstanding the lines that Sir Joseph holds in his hands, I cannot fancy will turn out a winner, although I think it very likely she may obtain a place. N ewm in s ter, I think , wlll finish in the third or f ou rth p os i t i on ; .Eliza M iddl e t o n will be either first or imbedded in the ruck ; and, con sidering the size of the field, I shall take to myself two forlorn hopes on this occasion, in Haricot and Eleralie; but before all commend me to the three first-mentioned, PRIME MINISTER, ARIOSTO, and MOUNTAIN DEER. Wednesday's list, like all the others, is headed with nine skeleton Stakes, the only fixture worth men tioning being a 50 sous. Sweepstakes, for which Odd Fellow, Fonthill, and Red Hind, the last named of course the winner, and Fonthill second. Colonel Peel's Post Match with the Duke of Bedford, in which two cripples are backed against two animals not worth 50/., will, I sho u ld fa ncy, fall to the ground, altho ug h, if run, I look upon Colonel Peel's chance as the best. The Match for 500 over the T.Y.C., between Lord Caledon's Sister to Pyrrhus the First, and Lord Clifden'a Sister to Surplice, I must award to the former. In another Match for 500 over the same course. Lord Caledon's Brother to Shylock will have the felicity of beating Lord Clifden's Hes perus. The Mike of Bedford's Martinet will probably triumph over Sir J. Hawley's Caloric, and Faux Pas will likely enough repeat the foregoing for Cornelius. Thursday sports seven Sweepstakes of the skin-and bone description, a couple of other Stakes, and three Matches, a very fair day's work. Tho Glasgow Stakes for 100 soya. each, h ft, T.Y.C. course, last three-quar ters of the Rowley mile, will be contested by one of Lord Clifden's, probably Hesperus, Ilex, Wingenund, and, I presume, Houlakin. Should the last-named run, I have no hesitation in giving him the victory; in his absence Wingenund is a certainty. The 50 sous. Stakes over the Ab. M. ought to be carried off by Mr. Payne's Glenluce. The Post Match between Lord Exeter and the Dune of Bedford will be an uncommonly close affair, the Duke perhaps just getting the best of it. Another Post Match between the same parties will also turn out in favour of the Duke with his Sophistry; the Duke will likewise have another victory in a Match for 300/. over the Ab. M., in which his Bordeaux will dispose of Mr.Pregory's Rhesus easily enough. Friday's list consists of one Match and ten Stakes as yet to close and name, including the Nursery Stakes, which I have been successful enough to name the winner of several years running, beginning with the memorable victress of the Cesarewitch, Mrs. Taft, in 1847. My remarks on this stake will appear on Wednesday or Thursday. The Match between Lord Exeter's Clelia and Mr. Greville's Frantic, the former giving two stone for the year, will I fancy be won by Frantic. Saturday has a complement of five Stakes, and two Matches, by way of windieg-up the last great meeting at head quarters for the memorable year 1851. The stakes have ail to close and name. The Match for 100 between Guy Mannering and Knight of the Garter, at 13lb dif ference, will be decided in favour of Lord Glasgow.

The Treasury being at the lowest ebb, ineffectual attempts had been made to form a new Cabinet. The Government were not yet aware of the revolution in Northern Mexico. In the New York money market a great stringency continued to be experienced, and high prices had to be made for accommodation; for sterling exchange there was but a moderate inquiry, and drawers were rather firmer. The leading houses asked 10-1 for sterling, but the market ranges from 9:3-, to 10k, with but little inquiry. Several failures are announced at Salem, amongst them Mr. Pingree, whose liabilities are nominally stated at 750,000 dolls., and his assets at 250,000 dolls. Cotton had declined lc. per lb., with very light sales, but on the 14th the market showed signs of activity. The flour market, which had been much depressed, had assumed a firmer tone. Wheat was not much inquired fur; lower rates would be taken to make sales. Indian corn was unchanged. Provisions inquired for at previous rates. Scotch pig iron in good demand at 20 doll. 50c., six months. Freight to London, 31 to 31 per bushel for wheat and Indian corn, and 30s. per ton for cheese. Advices from Havannah to the Bth inst. contain no news of interest. Sugars were quiet, the finer quali ties being scarce, the stock and shipments amounting to 130,000 boxes ; molasses selling at 24 reals. Exchange on London, 11/ premium ; money easier ; rates, 9,1- to 10. The indemnity subscription bad reached 150,000 dolls. Freights had improved.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE. An almost miraculous escape from destr:niicteiconupbcyn a railway train occurred a few evenings the South Yorkshire line, near Doncaster. Mr. Cartmell, a clerk in the employ of the company, w as engaged near the Little Moor outgang crossing i n assisting the driver of a coal engine to " shunt" his locomotive into one of the sidings. The night being quite dark he was beckoning the driver forward in the usual manner with his hand-lamp, and for this purpose was standing upon the main line, when the Barnsley train came upon him unawares, and before he could escape he was struck by the buffer of the tender, and his right arm caught the draw bar hook, which fastened itself between the shoulder and the elbow. At first he was so stunned as to be momen. tarily unconscious of his dangerous position, but on recovering he found himself suspended in the coupling chain, with the train going at the rate of from fifteen to sixteen miles an hour. His cries, drowned by the whistle, were not heard either by the driver or the guard, and in this way, hanging between life and death, and expect ing every moment to be dashed to pieces, he was carried for nearly half a mile. Fortunately, his voice was he heard by Samuel Fortune, the gate•keeper at the had C rgrOrth t he train was h proaching, and believin g from the cries that some one d signal, ia te,y and extricated the driver from a his i sgoofitche perilous m4adcphinsietri machinery, ni t sd e b en indivi dualianpg -, with great presence mind exhibited the danger upon t c h n e e e c x f c . kepistiaornmosf, tbhuetshkotctkle brought the train to a standnee2rieversed the engine and and worse an o Mr. Cartmell was imme diately he was enabled in a day incise dthewoauccnid• duties. Two fellow -clerks , w h o or two to resume his whowere with him at the point where he was struck, - and on the approach of the train, pi ck e d called out to him lamp, and walked slowly along the lineup his cap and search of him, expecting every moment to fin d i n ' his mangled remains. Their surprise and delight on learning the providential escape of their friend may be easily imagined. CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. An inquiry, which occupied seven days, under the 3d and 4th Victoria, c. 86, entitled "An Act for Better Enforcing Church Discipline," was brought to a conclusion at Dewsbury on Friday last. The in quiry was into the grounds of certain scandals or evil reports which had existed for nearly two years concerning the Rev. Stephen Mathews, incumbent of St. Paul's Church, Hanging Heaton, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The chief allegation agai ns t the reverend defendant was, that he was the father of an illegitimate child, to which a girl of the name of Mary Halliwell, 16 years old, gave birth in the month of May last. The girl, who up to a short time before her confinement had been a scholar, and afterwards a teacher in a school established by the defendant, swore positively to the truth of her allegation; but her evidence, which in several particulars was sup ported by other witnesses, was not free from any dis crepancies. The defendant, who was represented by Mr. Watts, of Dewsbury, solicitor, made no state ment himself, but witnesses were called on his behalf to contradict some of the statements of the girl and her witnesses, and to show that whatever suspicions there attached to Mr. Mathews, in his connexion with the girl, they rested on false grounds, and arose from his uniform kindness of disposition to her and the children in his school. The case altogether was a very complicated one, and the commissioners who conducted the investigation—namely, the Ven. Arch deacon Musgrave ; the Rev. John Bell, vicar . • Rothwell; the Rev. W. Tait, incumbent of Trinity Church, Wakefield • Mr. E. R. Wheatl e y, o f Mir field ; and Mr. T. dooke, of Dewsbury, were in de liberation for five hours before they gave judgment, which was pronounced by the Ven. Archdeacon as follows :—" The proceedings under the commission having now been brought to a close, it is my duty, in conformity with the provisions of the Act of Parlia ment, to state openly and publicly the result of this inquiry. After due consideration of the depositions taken before us, I have to declare the opinion of the commissioners present at this inquiry, that there is a sufficient prima facie ground for instituting further proceedings." We ought to observe that the Bishop of Ripon, in whose diocese both Hanging Heaton and Dewsbury are, had suspended Mr. Mathews from clerical duties pending the inquiry. Mr. Mathews is a married man, and about 67 years of age. BLOOMERISAI EITRAORDMAII r. Yesterday afternoon, a female, attired in full Bloomer costume, made her appearance in St. James's park, about half-past three o'clock, accompanied by a protector, who, however, was not walking am-in-arm with his fair charge. She was rather a pretty looking young woman, of about twenty-four years of age, rather below the common stature, and evidently well suited to encounter the various circumstances that her bold conduct expo!ed her to. After making a circuit of the enclosure, she went through the St. James's Palace-yard into Pall-mall, and thence up St. James's-street into Piccadilly. She then went through Burlington-arcade, Burlington-gardens, Vigo-street, Regent-street, Regent-circus, and Co. ventry-street, into Leicester-square, the mob swelling almost incredibly. In Leicester-square the crowd could not have been less than 3,000 persons, and, instigated by a man who WAS there selling penny plates cf the Bloomer costume, the rabble portion of them gave some hearty cheers. Nothing daunted by the remarks with which she had been greeted during her progress, she walked to the corner of Cranbourn-street and Long-acre, or St. Martin's-lane, and then turned back to Leicester square. Up to this time the only actual personal an noyance she had experienced was from a young urchin in St. James's-street, who pulled the riband of her chapeau, and was rewarded by her protector with a smart cuff on the head. In Leicester -square, however, on her return, from the mischievous disposition evinced by some of the youthful multitude, the beadle con sidered it necessary to interfere, and, ass i sted by three policemen, he manage d to keep off the mob, which, in their curiosity, where pressing round her on all sides, till a cab was brought, into which she and her protec tor quickly stepped, and were driven off at a rapid pace in the direction of Piccadilly. This is th e b o ld est step towards Bl oomer i sm which has yet been made in London. —Sunday Paper. - - HOP DUTY.
