By Lieut.-General Sir CHARLES NAPIER, Edited by his Brother Lieut.-General Sir Wm. Napier, K.C.B LIVERPOOL, OCT. 29. By the royal mail steam-ship Arabia, Judkins, commander, we have advices from New York to the 19th inst. She has brought 94 passengers and $1,216,000 in specie on freight. The United States' steamer Atlantic arrived at New York from this port on the 16th inst. There is very little general news by this arrival. Messrs. Dimond and Co., of Bristol, Rhode Island, sugar merchants, &c., had suspended pay ment. Their liabilities were said to be large. The rumours of failures among the dry goods jobbers were confirmed. The failure of Messrs. Winston and Seaman jobbers, Pine-street, had also been announced. The yellow fever was raging fearfully at various points on the Mississippi river and in the interior. The latest accounts from Washington state that the China mission had not been filled. A private meeting of some exiles of different countries is reported to have taken place at New York, by whose unanimous decision Major L. Terzucanowski, formerly aide-de-camp of General Muralowski, and afterwards commander-in-chief of the French Legion in Sicily, had been appointed to form a volunteer legion in the United States, in tended to sail for Constantinople. Captain Mumford, of the packet-ship Havre, which. had arrived at New York, reports the fol lowing :- " On the 9th inst., in lat. 41 deg. 42 min., long. 58 deg. 30 min., he was boarded by a boat from the ship Sagadahoc r . of Bath,-Maine, Captain Sister( 53 days , from Gottenburg, forißeston. The Sagadalibiad 'mi, during the passage 5S passengers from cholera'; the captain's wife was very sick, a,nd 14 passengers-were - in a very low state from sickness. Captain Mumford supplied the vessel with small stores and other neces saries." Halifax-papers of the 12th instant state that the steamer Vulcan had arrived there, on the 9th, with, 350 troops. A part of the troops Were intended for Bermuda, but, as the yellow fever was still raging' there, they were - brought to Halifax. Letters from Santa Fe* announce that an ex ploring party, under the command of Mr. F. X. Aubrey and party, reached there on the 14th ult. He crossed the Sierra Nevada at , Tegon ' Pass on the 12th of July. He found„:gold at the crossing of the Colorado, and other places,' and silver and copper ore in great abundance. .The Indians were very numerous and hostile, and had fought their party for 30 days, • wounding nearl', all of them. In the New York Herald, it is stated ] that Aubrey and party met a tribe of Indian's 200 miles west of Senne, who used gold bullets for their guns. ' " There had been a' marked improvenient in the New York stock-market. Erie 'Railroad shares opened at 87i, an advance of 11 pet cent.' on pre vious sales. Hudson River Railroad advanced 1i ;, Cumberland Coal,Company, Ig,; Stonington Rail road, 1 ; New York Central, I. Reading Rail load advanced from 73 to 76. : Broadway Bank sold at 116 ' • Bank of Commerce, 101 ; Bank State New York, 1 . 08 ; AmeriCan Exchano-e Bank, 118=5-; 4etropolitan Bank, 102. Some of these pay 10 per cent. dividend annually, and they are all equal to at least a 9 per cent. stock. Their surplus funds are also known to be large ; the Broadway Bank showing 22 per cent., and the Band of the State Si per cent. undividd profits. United States and State loans are firm, the purchases of the Goiern ment absorbing all of the former that appear ;1 and of the latter the amount offered for sale con tinues very limited. The Secretary of the Trea sury has issued a note increasing the bids for the different loans to $7,000,000, in addition to the purchase made prior to the Bth inst. Several of the States are also, from time to time, purchasers of considerable amounts of their own debts, as in vestments of the sinking funds provided fortheir redemption. The scarcity of money is felt princi pally in the large commercial' cities. In, .the inte rior the supply is ample, and the payments to the seaboard are made with great promptness and re gularity. The agricultural interests are very pros perous, and, while this is the case, there is no reason to apprehend any serious crisis in the busi n6'S of the country generally. The rato of dis, count for first-class paper is 12 per cent. Loans on call on desirable securities can be obtained at 7 per cent. There is less firmness in the market for foreign exchanges_.

The cotton market, after receipt of the Atlantic's news from Liverpool, was much depressed, and prices declined fully - cent per pound. The light receipts at the ports and light exports, combined with the moderate views entertained as to the ex tent of the incoming crop, would, under other cir cumstances, have induced speculation at the highest currency of the season, but fear of a general war in Europe overrules all other considerations, leaving holders, in the absence of demand, the alternative only of forcing sales to make a market, or, as the majority are doing, of holding in hopes of receiving more satisfactory advices. The market was heavy and unsettled for both flour and wheat, at prices not materially different from those last quoted. The following were the quotations for flour and wheat :-Flour.--Sour, $6 to $6 25c. ; superfine, No. 2, $6 50c. to $6 6*. ; ordinary to favourite State, $6 871 c. to $7 50c. ; common to good Ohio, $6 871 c. to $7 25c. ; fancy to extra Ohio and Genessee, $7 to $7 50c.: Canadian in bond, $7 to $7 121 c. ; Balti more mixed and Georgetown, $7 to $7 25c. ; fancy and extra ditto, $7 12 1 c. to $ 7 50c. ; Ricmond City, Haxall, and Gallego, $9 75c. to $lO ; rye flour $4 50c. to $4 621 c. ; corn meal, $4 25c. to $4 50c.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC TILLS: The following testimonial is another proof of the 'great effi cacy of this medicine ; "157, New Bond-street;London, October 12, 1850. " acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking ALAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am bat performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore. in the 18th Hussars. I always pro. cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can he appreciated only by these who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of thote paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIK'S PILLS.. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment; whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of macic have ceased, I should .;ertainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejolae to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its im , ,rovernent. "I have reeonimended the Pills to many friends, and the result Las always been of the.most gratifying character. .. • " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "GARRET FOSTER GILL'.

AQua se 'labia Espano _l,-_- A meeting of the Tutors' Association was held in Oriel College Common Room on Friday evening, Oct. 28, at which the subject for the limitation of fellowships to particular localities was discussed. Several members of the association were in favour of the entire abolition of such restrictions and preferences, with the exception of those which have been made by founders in favour of Wales, and, perhaps, of some other districts to which such advantages are particularly important. Others were of opinion that' the election of competent men might be secured without so far departing from the in tentions of founders, if Colleges were to interpret the conditions of fitness according to a sufficiently high standard, and if, where no provision is made for the case of no fit candidate appearing from the prescribed o i c well ; o de m l el i e r n . . district, th e y were aut h or i se d i n suc h case t o elect from other localities.

After two hours' discussion, a majority of those present were in favour of retaining a preference for the prescribed districts, but thought it advisable that colleges should be enabled, if in any case they required fresh - authority, to insist on a high standard of compe tency, and to elect from other localities„ if they could not otherwise obtain it.

NOVA SCOTIA. The Rev. J. Stannage, who has been engaged for twenty years in missionary work in St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia, is at present in Oxford, collecting sub scriptions for aiding him in procuring the additional assistance of a fellow-labourer. On Thursday, the 28th instant, he addressed a parochial meeting in the school room of St. Mary Magdalen parish, in that city, on which occasion' he gave an interesting account of his own experience among a people whom he found sunk in practical heathenism, and in the lowest stage of social discomfort, having been long withunt the Ordinances of divine wbrithip;.idthough many bf ;Witt are descendants of Protestants, who were driven from France at the Revocation. of the Edict of Nantes. Nfr. Stannage has succeeded in erecting three churches and seven school-rooms, and has four churches under his charge. Ile is most anxious to return to his poor people, who are all fishermen, many of whom, when he parted from them for awhile, procured waggons and-ac companied him and his family twelve miles through the woods ; they also paid his salary in advance. Mr. Stannage has, besides, three other stations to visit, at considerable distances from his parish. The meeting was also addressed by the Rev. J. Ley, the vicar of the parish, the Rev. W. D. Macray, curate, and the Rev. G. W. Kitchen, student and tutor of Christ Church. Mr. Stannage has been on a visit to the Bishop of the diocese. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, OCT. 29. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn). JUDGMENT.—IN RE WESTBROOK.—IN RE SIRS.—THE ISLINGTON CATTLE-MARKET CASE. This case, which had been before the Court on several occasions, occupying a considerable period at each meeting, was on Saturday brought to a conclusion by the delivery, by his Honour, of an elaborate judg ment upon the many points in dispute, the main ones being as to whether there was a bona fide trading, and whether the adjudication was or was not a collusive one, obtained merely for the purpose of relieving Westbrook of liabilities amounting to about 36 , 0001 . incurred by him as one of the directors of the Islington Cattle-mar ket, and not for the purpose of the distribution of assets amongst trade creditors, as required by the act of Par liament. It was sought to upset the adjudication in the case of Henry Kirk, also a director of the cattle market, upon grounds somewhat similar to those urged petitionsr di nsWestbrookwhich addressed dsdureehss and ed in Westbrook's case. The case appeared to excite con siderable interest, and there was a large number of in terested parties present. His Honour, in giving judgment, said—Two petitions have been presented to this Court by a gentleman named Adams, a banker, at Ware, in Hertfordshire, praying the Court to annul the adjudications in bankruptcy and it is necessary an Henry Kirk. These are not proceedings merely to adjudications h i:i t: e h: ll i ds comel: c i l s aate t ieo h n e h s firstagainst:efetbefore e y m R instancei werec;hßichard to the Court in the exercise of the original jurisdiction conferred upon it by the last act of Parliament. It disputeil applicationa pwhichpe li had a t t h d h e a t carefully to examine the character of thesa ed . proce 113 . g5, and what is found in the book s re l at i ng to such apphca tions. After entering into the facts of the case at length, and alluding to the law and precedents bearing upon it, his Honour said —Under all the circumstances I have brought my mi n d t o a very clear conclusion, that y conclusion that been in each of the tw o cases a trading has b 'estab lished sufficient to brin g th ese parties within the n opera tion of the bank ru pt l aw, and as such, I shall dismiss the petition in each case ; and I shall dismiss it with costs, to be paid by the petitioner to the petitioning cre ditors in each case. The reason Idoso is this. If the petitioner had con fi ne d hi mself simply to the question o f tracing, I should have said that that was a Question on which different views might be taken, and Which might very properly be discussed and reasoned on in a court, and that there the rule of the unsuccessful paying the costs cf the unsuccessful party ought not to apply. But I give costs in this case because this petition is stuffed with matter highly inculpating others, without a tittle of proof to sustain it ; and the petitioner, having done that, ends with praying that the other party may pay his costs. Ile says in effect, "I charge you with fraud and conspiracy of the grossest kind ; and though I have not a tittle of proof to sustain the charge, though it is 11 l to suspicion and implication, and I cannot bring myself t hat I swear that I believe it, I will ask the court to grs 1, e these want, and to make you pay the costs of my n . ia. of this unfounded allegations."

An adjudication in bankruptcy was this day made against Lionel Goldsmith, merchant, of No. 2, Queen street, Cheapside, described as the surviving partner of Samuel Goldsmith, late of the same place, deceased, and formerly trading with Samuel Goldsmith, under the firm -__---- ~=- ~.,, - -_-~-..: 15LAR COMPANY. TI f the directors of this comp to ne - subrintted to the eighth half-yearly gene ral meeting of shareholders, to be held this day : " It was announced, by anticipation, in the last half yearly report, that the first portion of this company's railways—from Bombay to Tannab, 21 miles—would most likely be opened in the month of April. That was accomplished on the 17th April, since which time two trains have been running daily with the greatest regularity. The latest despatches from India, at the time of writing this report, reach to the beginning of September, and as the periodical rains occupy most of the interval between April and September, no approxi mate test even of the traffic has consequently yet been made. But the directors are nevertheless satisfied, from the number of passengers conveyed along the railway during the monsoon, that the general result in passenger traffic will be greatly beyond their 'former calculation. Arrangements had not been completed for the carriage of merchandise, but preparations were being made at the date of the last advises, and goods traffic will ere long be commenced. The native population have evinced the greatest alacrity in availing themselves of this new mode of locomotion, and all the risks and inconveniences foretold of introducing the railway system into India, are already satisfactorily proved to be groundless. "The works on the consecutive portions of the 'ex perimental' railway, from Tannah to Callian, and thence to Shawpoor, are proceeding to the satisfaction of the chief resident engineer and the committee of directors in Bombay. " With regard to the extension lines into the interior of the country, the directors have to report that they have received the instructions of the Government of India to make new and more comprehensive surveys. Two extension lines are proposed to be surveyed, bifur cating at Callian—the one to proceed south-east to Poonah, and thence into the Sholapoor Cotton District, where it may unifa with the main line from Madras, and - so - form a continuous railway between Bombay Madras; and the other to proceed nOrth-east into the, Kandeish and Berar cotton fields, and thence across the . Nerbudda, Valley to Allahabad or Mirzapoor, to join the main line from Calcutta, and complete the communica, tion between Bombay and Calcutta. The directors have just sent ant a reinforcement of surveying engineers to hasten the completion of these extensive surveys, and no efforts will be spared to obtain the sanction, cif the Go vernment of India to those extension lines which present the most favourable and the best prospects of remunera tion. "In the meantime, the Government of India have authorised the construction of the initial portion of the South-east Extension line from Callian ; and the share holders will receive notice when the directors think the time has arrived for the commencement of the works on this section of the railway. "Resolutions will be submitted to this meeting- for the purpose of giving powers to the directors to complete the agreement with the Hon. East India Company for the extension lines, and to raise the necessary capital ; but the shareholders may rest assured that these powers will not be put into exercise until monetary affairs shall give confidence that the new issue of shares will be gene-„Liit.2 rally acceptable. "The creation of the second portion of experimental' i;,-i capital, already authorised by the shareholders, must; ":" . 2 ,, take place without delay. Circular letters will be for warded to all shareholders who may beupon the register of the Company, on the 19th of November next, placing at his or her option one new 5/. share for every share then held by each registered shareholder, on payment of a deposit of it. per share, payable on the 24th of Decem ber next. The interest guaranteed by the Hon. East , India Company, upon the payments in respect to these shares, is at the rate of 5 per cent: per annum, same as the existing capital of the company, Only so muoh of this capital will be called up as may be necessary for the experimental' lines. "The statement, of accounts, up to the termination of the halflear ending 30th June last l will be found ap pended to the report, This statement, together with the books of accounts, 'have been examined by the ac- countants of the lion.. East India Company, in addition to a minute audit by the company's auditors. (Signed) "War. J. HA3ULTON, Dep. Chairman; " London, Oct. 21, 1853." OPENING THE SHREWSB-CRY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY: .' On Saturday, , the latter portion of this railway (from • Ludlow to Hereford, a distance of 23 miles) was op e n e d by the directors, 'but the line wi ll 'not be opened for traffic until some time towards the end of November. At half-past 11 in the morning a special train, consist. ing of from 20 to 30. first class carriages, left the Shrews bury station with a'large invited party ; and the train made short stoppages at Church-Stretton, Bromfield, Ludlow, and Leominster stations, at all of which places . accessions were received to the party. The'train, which was drawn by two -powerful engines, arrived at Here ford at 10 'minutes past 2 o'clock ; several hundreds of - persons were assembled on the Widemarsh, where the . train was stopped ; but it is somewhat remarkable that, though this is the first line of railway opened into Here ford, not a single cheer escaped the crowd by way of welcome to the visitors. At half-past 2 o'clock the excursionists and other guests sat down to an elegant luncheon at the Music-hall, provided by Mr. Smith, of the City Arms Hotel, at the expense of the directors. The guests numbered about 260 gentlemen and ladies, and comprised Mr. Wm. Ormsby Gore, M.P. (chairman of the company), who presided ; Mr. Brassey, the con tractor ; Mr. H. Robertson, the engineer • Hon. R. H. Clive, M.P., deputy-chairman; Sir R. Jenkins,l G.C.B. ; the Right Hon. and Rev. Canon' Lord Saye and Sele, Hon. Mr. Peters, Hon. E. G. Peters, Mr. J. King, M.P., Major W. Ormsby Goro, Mr. G. Holyoake, Dr. Kennedy (of London), Messrs. J. William and W. War dell (of Chester), the Mayors of Hereford and Ludlow, and Mr. H. Hill . (of Wolverhampton). Shortly before 6 o'clock the train left Hereford for Shrewsbury, at which place it arrived at 5 minutes past 10, the delay having been occasioned by the extreme caution necessary to be adopted between Hereford and Ludlow in consequence of the late heavy rains having disturbed the consolidation of the permanent way. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S DAUGHTER.—The only daugh ter of Sir John Franklin is married to the Rev. John Philip Gell, now curate of St. Mary's, Marylebone. He was nominated at a very early age to Sir John Franklin (when Governor of Van Diemen's Land) as Warden of Christ's College, Hobart Town. He endea voured to make that institution all that Sir John Frank lin designed it to be as the centre of enlightenment to the whole colony. "Since his return to England, and his marriage" (says a correspondent of the Times), "he has been discharging the duties of a London curate, with how much efficiency, zeal, and ability, may be readily ascertained by inquiry among his parishioners. Is there no one among those who deplore Sir John Franklin, and appreciate his services to the country, who will testify this feeling by bestowing preferment upon his son-in-law ?" RAILWAY SPEED.—Last B lier week, says the righton al(1, we stated that Messrs. Bass had communicated with their an - ea at Rotterdam and got a reply in the short space of three hours and a big. This was, of course, the work of the electric telegraph. Now let us see what the railway can do in the way of travelling. A week or two ago a professional gen tleman of Brighton left Vienna on the Monday morning, and by Wednesday night he was in Brighton, arriving by the last train of the London and Brighton Railway, and finding all ready for his reception, be having telegraphed from Dover his coming.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A YOUNG WOMAN.—Last evening an inquest was held on the body of a young woman, named Susannah Prior, 18 years of age, servant at the Old English Gentleman beer-shop, John-street, who had committed suicide the same morning, by throw ing herself from an attic window in the above house, a height of upwards of 30 feet. The only cause assigned was her great trouble about her sister, who died very suddenly in London of cholera. On a table of the attic in which she slept was found an envelope, on which she had written the following :—" Dear Lord, re remember me ; i gon to meat sister : forgiv." A verdict that deceased destroyed herself whilst in a state of temporary insanity was returned. —Brighton Herald.
