3 N EY ARKET GNP COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLoac. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with more buoyancy, and prices were a shade dearer. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and values declined. During the last two or three days the demand for money in Lombard-street and at the Bank has become more pressing, in consequence of the pre parations necessary for Wednesday next, the 4th of the month, when, as usual, a considerable aggre gate amount of commercial bills will arrive at ma turity. On the present occasion there is more than ordinary provision being made, ow ing to the caution which recent events have dictated. Numerous failures, in addition to those already announced, and which have caused so much regret, must inevitably occur through the losses thus entailed, and the cessation of American remittances. The approaching 4th will severely test the strength of all our firms connected with the American trade, and although rumours of an unfavourable character are circulated regarding the stability of particular houses, it may be found that the list of disasters may be less formidable than is generally imagined. Very full rates are in all cases demanded, but parties connected with Liverpool and America find unusual difficulty in obtaining assistance. Their position, conse quently, is very critical, and various temporary suspensions are likely to ensue ; but if their American debtors act honestly, the ultimate dividends which will be paid by these un fortunate establishments may prove satisfac tory. Although the specie drain to the United States was not expected to continue, some very large amounts are being seat away, which, if re peated, may revive the uneasiness lately felt with respect to further protective measures on the part of the Bank. On Saturday the Arabia left with 204,0001., and besides this nearly 100,0001. in gold was taken from the Threadneedle-street vaults for the continent, whither it is despatched in payment for silver. The imports of this metal from Boulogne and Antwerp have recently been on a large scale, as the East India Company have been procuring supplies for shipment by the Ripon on Wednesday. The course of the Money Market during the next few weeks is not likely to exhibit Much improvement, but a gradual dispersion of the causes that have mduced the late disturbance may be nevertheless predicted. This being the day fixed for balancing the-half yearly accounts at the Bank of England, the tr4isfer offices are closed, and a holiday is observed at the stock Exchange by order ef the committee. Among afew ef the dealers and brokers who always assemble in the neighbourhood of Capel-court on these occa sions, Consols are called 891 to 90, and severaltrans actions at this depreciation have taken place in the Royal Exchange, where about forty or fifty members of the House have congregated. The advices from America are construed unfavourably, and the pro spect of continued remittances has promoted an Uneasy feeling. 13n ['MS FUNDS.—CLOSING ritICES —SATURDAY.

DEATH OF TOM MOODY.—This celebrated individual, latterly in the service of the boat department, at Hun gerford-pier, died at his lodgings on Saturday. Tom was one of the old watermen at Hungerford-market, and during his younger days saved many persons from a watery grave, for on any accident taking place such was his resolute character that he valued not risking his own life to save those of others. On mole than one occasion he figured at police courts for his violence of conduct, especially towards his relatives. Latte:ly, he had turned Out to be a most exemplary character, A PERSON UNKNOWN FOUND DEAD IN THE REGENT ' S CANAL.—On Saturday the body of a respectably-drtssed man was discovered floating in the Regent's Canal, CiEn vnercial-road, St. Anne, Limehouse.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, and all kinds sold heavily, at drooping prices. There was very little inquiry for barley, and the quotations had a downward tendency. Other kinds of produce ruled heavy. The markets in France have been steady for both wheat and flour ; but in other parts of the continent the corn trade lias ruled very dull. Oar American advices are tolerably firm. Up to our market last week, the arrivals of English produce were only moderate. From abroad we received 18,345 quarters of wheat, 7,403 barley, 46,406 oats, 1,250 rye, 37 beans, 755 peas, 8,335 linseed, 527 rapeseed, 10 mustard seed, 2,538 sundry seeds, 834 sacks and 3,112 brie. of flour. Fresh up, to-day, coastwise, both from Essex and Kent the arrivals of wheat were very moderate, and some of the samples were out of condition, arising from the prevailing damp weather. By land carriage the receipts were small, consequently, the actual supply was comparatively limited• The demand, however, for all kinds, ruled heavy. A few of the finest samples were disposed of at about last Mon. day's currency ; but the value of all other kinds ruled slightly in favour of buyers. Their was an extensive show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary. Buyers operated with great caution, and the business done was wholly confined to retail parcels. In the general quotations, however, very little change took place. The demand for floating cargoes of grain was heavy. Fine barley was mostly held at previous rates. Grinding and distilling sorts were very dull at 2s per qr. beneath last week's decline in value. The demand for malt was heavy, on former terms. The show of Irish and foreign oats was unusually large ; consequently the oat trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations of is per quarter. _ _ - Beans sold slowly, but without leading to any change in value. We had a slow sale for peas, yet prices were supported. The flour trade was heavy, and country markets were is per 2801bs lower to purchase. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were on the increase, compared with Monday last, and there was a decided improvement in their general quality. The attendance of butchers was tolerably nume rous ; nevertheless, the beef trade ruled heavy at 2d ner 81bs beneath the currencies realised on this day se'nnigiit. The top figure for Scots was 4s 8d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 3,00 shorthorns ; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds; and from Ireland 550 oxen. The supply of sheep was on the increase, but the general quality of most breeds was rather inferior. Prime Downs moved off slowly at 2d per Slbs less money, compared with Monday last ; and other breeds declined in value from 2d to 4d per 81bs. The top figure was 5s 4d per 81bs. About 250 sheep came to hand from Ireland. We were rather scantily supplied with calves, yet the veal trade was heavy, at Friday's decline in value of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. Pigs were in moderate supply and sluggish request, at barely stationary prices. Per Sibs to sink the dials. g. d. g. d.; s. d. 0. d.

Owing to the high value of money, and the unfavourble commercial advices from the United States, the demand for all kinds of wool is in a most depressed state, and, to effect sales, a considerable reduction in prices must be sub mitted to. Present quotations are wholly nominal. Last week's imports 869 bales from Algoa Bay, 810 from Syd ney, 160 from Mogadore, 750 from Taganrog, 100 from Odessa, 100 from Hambro, and 4 bales from Stockholm.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, QC.) IMPORTANT TO SUITORS. -TAYLOR Y. GROVE. Mr. Moss appeared for the plaiutiff ; Mr. Medina for he defendant. This was an action to reco►er a sum of money for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Medina, who appeared for the defendant, said, he had to take his Honour's opinion upon a question of some importance. On a former occasion an action had been brought upon a bill of exchange. Statute of Limi tation bad been pleaded, and defendant bad obtained a •erdict with costs. Those ooets not baying been paid, he (Mr. Medina) contended that plaintiff could not go on with his case. Mr. Moss said the costs would be all right, as if he should get a verdict for plailtiff in the present action he could set off the costs on the former one. Mr. Medina objected, ani said he might have issued judgment against the present plaintiff. Mr. Moss said the costs were frequently arranged in this way in Westminster. Mr. Medina, however, insisted upon having his costs guaranteed in cash before the present case went on, and his Honour decided that he was entitled to them. Mr. Mon then tendered the money, and went on with he case. CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day). OLD COURT. THE MANSLAUGHTER IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON. Antonio de Salvi was placed at the bar to receive sentence for the manslaughter of Mr. Robertson, in the Queen's Prison, of which he was found guilty a few days since. Lord Chief Baron Pollock sentenced him to 15 years' penal servitude, to date from the present conviction, so that, in fact, it only adds a few months to his previous sentence of 15 years' penal servitude for the wounding. The Spaniard Rosario was also placed at the bar, and sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude for the manslaughter of George de Markas, at the east end of London in September last. Bridget Kavannagh, for the manslaughter of her child, by the administration of laudanum, was sentenced to 6 months, accompanied with hard labour. THE SITTINGS OF THE NEXT MAYORALTY. This morning the learned judges attended at this court for the purpose of fixing the days for the sittings of the Criminal Court during the next mayoralty. The judges present were Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Crowder, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Willes, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Baron Watson, and Mr. Baron Channel]. Mr. Justice Crompton was present, but not in his official robes. The Lord Mayor, who attendei officially, was accompanied by Alderman Wilson, Alderman Carroll, Alderman Salomons, Alderman Hale, and the Common Sergeant. The following days were fixed for the sitting of the court during the next mayoralty :—Nov. 23, Dec. 14, 1857 ; Jan. 4, Feb. 1 and 22, April 5, May 10, June 14, July 5, Aug. 16, Sept. 20, and Oct. 25, 185$. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN A BROTHEL IN UNION STREET.—Mary Ana Powell and Tilsey Cla• rendon, were charged before Mr. Beadon, with being drunk and disorderly. Evidence having been given corroborative of the fact, the prisoners were about being discharged, when In spector Parke stepped forward and informed Mr. Beadon, that on the 26th of September last the woman Clarendon preferred a charge against a man of the name of Lanning, whom she alleged had attempted to cut her throat with a knife in a brothel in Union street. The evidence she gave on that occasion went to show that she accompanied the man to the house in question, when some words ensued about some money. The man, who was in liquor, seized her by the hair of her head, threw her back on the bed, and then with a penknife, which he took from his pocket, inflicted a dreadful wound in her throat by drawing the knife across it several times. She struggled with him, and fortunately, being the stronger of the two, succeeded in preventing him carrying his bloodthirsty intentions into effect. He ran out of the house, followed by the prose cutor, streaming with blood, calling out "murder," and " stop thief." The prisoner was eventually taken into custody by Mason, 12 C, on the above charge, and the prosecutrix conveyed to the station, where her wound, which the surgeon pronounced to be but slight, and not at all dangerous, was dressed. The prisoner Lanning was then remanded for a week. At the expiration of that period the prosecu tr,x was not in attendance, and it was stated that bhe had received a 5111 n of money from the friends of Lan• ning to keep away, and now refused to appear. Mr. Bingham was determined that justice should not be defeated, and remanded the prisoner from time to time until the 10th of Oct., when he was remanded on bail, and directed the pollee to try all they could to get hold of the prosecutrix• However, nothing more was heard of her till last night, when she was taken into custody on the present charge. Mr. Beadon asked the woraan if she intended to prase the case any further against Lanning, who was now in custody. The woman replied in the negative, and said it was a drunken freak, and she did not wish to hurt the young man. Mr. Beadon said, under the circumetauces, he could not detain the man in custody, and he was therefore discharged. THAMES. SERIOUS AFFAIR IN TIGER BAT. —Antonia Thomp son, a man of colour from South America, a seamen, wa, brought before Mr. Selfe charged with cutting and wounding Martin Josepb, a Frenchman, and boatswain of the ship Monte Video, lying is the St. Katherine's Dock. The Frenchman, whose head was bandaged, and who had lost a good deal of blood, was accommodated with a seat while giving evidence. It appeared from the evi pence that the Frenchman went with a girl of the town to an infamous house, No. 5, Brunswicke-street, St. George's-in-the-East, and better known as Tiger Bay— an appellation which it has most deservedly gained, from the great number of savage and desperate prostitutes and ruffians located there. The Frenchman's pretended mission to the house was in search of a shipmate whom he mild not find. Instead of leaving the house he said it was too late to do so, and insisted on stopping and having for his companion one of the loose women of the hoase who was under a prior engagement with the prisoner who became jealous. The prisoner attacked the Frenchman and hurled him from the top of a flight of stairs to the bottom. The prisoner was armed with a dagger, and when the Frenchman attempted to leave the house two men am: a woman attacked him in the dark, he was fearfully beaten and his head was severely cut. Tiger Bay was soon in a state of commotion, shrieks, curses, call■ for help, and the shouts of a disorderly mob, some brought the police to this horrible den, and there is no worse place in the kingdom, and the prisoner was secured. The prosecutor, who was covered with blood, was carried to the station-house, and attended by Mr. John Comley, surgeon, of High-street, Whitechapel, who dressed his wounds. Mr. Comley, in his evidence, said there were five wounds on the left side of the Frenchman's head, a contusion on his neck and scratches on his body. He believed the wounds on the head were inflicted with the handle of the prisoner's dagger, and not with the blade. After the examination of several of the suspected in habitants of "Tiger Bay," Mr. Selfe said the French man was to blame, and had given the first provocation, but it could not be permitted that knives and daggers should be used in this country with impunity. He warned the prisoner not to use such a dangerous weapon again, and fined him 3/. and in default of payment com mitted him to prison for a month. 11i l all St. 100 St. 100 ZO all 10' all 121 5 100 25 all 25 all St. 100 100 ,100 all all all 1100 3? ;100 ;100 St. 50 St. St. 17i all all 100 20 25 25 25 16i 100 1100 22 all all all all all 101 all 20 18 20 ! 1.1 20 1 20 al Antwrp & Rotterdam Ardennes .. 1 Belgian East.

SPORT, PAST AND FUTURE. To all intents and purposes the racing season was brought to an ending post on Saturday last, Other meetings, it is true, have yet to be started, but with the exception of Liverpool Autumn, they are of a " hybrid" character—steeple -chasing being the most prominent features in the programme. I have no Cambridgeshire particulars of interest to add to the hurried motes which I despatched to Newmarket. The settling will be com pleted to-day, and affairs will, it is hoped, be satisfactorily wound up, albeit certain parties may "winter on their ac counts. The Nurseries proved two "good things"for the Bedford stable, albeit the ducal colours were successful for one of them only. Perhaps no handicap was more strongly condemned than ths.4t for the Nursery, and the imposts were apparently distributed with either gross partiality or extraordin.ary carelessness. The ruling authorities, too, at Newmarket scarcely practice what they preach. Surely the gallant admiral who is popu larly supposed to be at"the helm of turf affairs, and who has been foremost amongst the opponents of sell ing races, could not have been aware of the true form of Pampa when he entered her prior to the Nursery for a race in which she was to be sold for a sum far below her real value. Fortune deserted Mr. F, Robinson. Heroine chopped down Mainstay, but was beaten in her matches with Polly Peachum and Happy Land. Still her plucky owner made no over-estimate of her ability when he set her the tasks, and had she not been labouring under a malady most incident to fillies, I have no doubt she would have won all her engagements. It was a bold stroke on the part of Messrs. Barber and Saxon to make a match for 1,0001. with Mr. J. Merry, but they lacked their usual judgment and discrimination when they asked Commo tion to give UzellalBlb and a year over the Cambridge. shire course. The mare literally galloped away from the horse, who pulled up very gingerly. A more successful meeting was never celebrated at the metropolis of the turf, whether with regard to the sport, the attendance, or the weather, and never did officials work more cordially and energetically than did Messrs. Manning, Clark, and Hibburd. The faithful city of Worcester will be visited by those turfites who are never wearied of sport and by the members of the jumping fraternity to-morrow and Wednesday. The programme promises a pretty good supply of sport, and if the weather be pro pitious nothing will occur to mar the plans or counteract the exertions of Mr. Webb. Mr. B. Laud is likely to get a favourable turn with Weatherglass for the Handicap, unless indeed he be frightened by a Hobgoblin. For the Flying Stakes Raven and Polly Johnson way prove the fastest. The Cripple may win the Hurdle Race and Theodine ought to be " there or thereabouts" for the Steeplechase. Wenlock will doubtless attract many of the visitors to Worcester, for in that locality Mr. John Frail has provided a most satisfactory supply of sport. A FRESH MAN. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

Cagliari on Fridayevening, from Mr. Newall, the manufawnre of the cable, says :—" The cable has reached Sp ir tivento, in Sardinia. The operation was a, corn plished with entire succe:ls. The communication with Africa is perfect." We may congratulate the promoters of this im portant enterprise that, after more than one failure in the attempt to lay down their line, they have obtained the reward of their perseve - iance. By this means the French Government have a direct t 1 41 .. graphic communication with theyr African post es.. sions in Algiers. The cable on leaving SpezziP, is carried under the sea to the morthernmost part of the island of Corsica, which i4land is crossed i v.er land. F rom th e sou th o f C ors i ca , a . submarirle cable cross e s th e s t ra it s o f Bonded°, and . is landed on th e nor th o f th e i s l an d o f Sar dinia. The telegraph crosses the island, and is submerged at Cagliari. or Cape Spartivento, .he most southern part of Sardinia, and then passes under the sea to B ona , on th e Al ger i ne territery. The difficulties in laying the line across this latter portion have been very great, owing to the ine qualities of the bed and great depth of the wr.t irs of the M e dit erranean. At one part the dep'h to which the cable is lowered is not more than 93 fathoms, and the water deepens immediately to over 2,00 . 0 fathoms, or nearly two miles and a nalf. This company has a paid-up capital of 300,0001. Of this 5 per cent is guaranteed by the French Go vernment for 50 years, o n a sum of 180,00u1., France receiving by the line s certain privileges c,:a nected with the transmiss;ion of Government de epatches to the island of Corsica and its colony of Algiers. The Government of Sardinia gives a guarantee of 5 per cent., on the remaining 120,00,) of their capital, having the use and control of the line over the island of Sardinia, as well as the coin. munieation with Turin. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. R. R. BIGIVEL,L. On Friday evening last we had the gratification of witnessing one of those pleating ceremonies in cennoe. tion with employer and employed it is at all times 4e. lightful to contemplate, as evincing that complete ides. tity of interest and kindness of disposition one towards another that should always exist between them. Un. fortunately for society these examples are rare exc lo tions to the general rule, which the money-makiag pressure of this iron age has inaugurated, but cyli3a instances of this kind are met with they are as re.reAh.. ing to the philanthrophist as the genial shower is to he parched earth. Wherever such instances of identity of feeling are found, they cannot fail to enhance the Pr,is. parity and happiness of all concerned, for where an ell. ployer sympathises with those dependant on him for support, and seeks to benefit them in promoting his o vrn interest, he draws around him willing hands, wh , se energies are cheerfully and readily put forth in behalf of him whom they venerate and re-peat for his kingly and benevolent disposition ; and they meet their ward in the crowning success of their exertions. For many years past this unity of feeling has existed bet w..ten Mr. Bignell and those in his employ, and in the hour of difficulty the latter have nobly stepped forward to syn. pathise with, cheer, and encourage h►m to renewed exer• tions to defeat the unscrupulous machinations of indis viduals whose unjust persecutions savour more of private revenge than zeal for the public good. Mr. Bignell, for a period of seven years, has been the spirited and enterprising proprietor of the Argyll Rooms, giving employment to upwards of a hu dr•.d persons of known respectability and character.--most of them as musicians who rank high in their profession for their acknowledged abilities—and throughout that lo ig period his management has been characterised with that regard to propriety and order that we believe we are correct in stating that though upwards of a million and a half of visitors have attended his entertainments, bor, single case of riot, disturbance, or even intoxication. has been witnessed within the walls of his establi,htnent nor has a single charge of a criminal nature, not eve. a case of a common aisault occurred. In fact, no charge of any description has ever been made against it. Notwithstanding these facts, undue pressure has been brought to bear on Mr. Bignell, and the faults of oth4rs have been visited on him. Our readers are no doubt aware that this country, with its boasted legislation, retains on the statute-book a number of barbarous Acts of Parliament, which are used as occasion requires as instruments of torture, and woe betide the unfortunate individual who gets stretched upon their wheels as they trundle from court to court in the hopes of crushing their victims. One of these is the well-known Act passed in 1747, "For the better Preventing Thefts and Robberies, and for Regulating Plasea of Public Enter. tainment, and of Punishing Persons Keeping Dirorderly Houses," at a time when we had no police to restrain disorder, and society generally was in a different state than now. By this Act, every public plane of amuse. ment and recreation, where music and dancing takes place, requires the sanction of a licence, t• be grant• ed by the Justices of Peace in Quarter Sessions, but they unfortunately delegate their powers to the police, by giving credence to statements which, if thoroughly examined and tested, would in many instances be found to fail. It of is one of these ex parte statements, and founded on data known only to exist in the fertile imagination of the constituted aut:no. rities that Mr. Bignell complains of having been unjustly treated, by the withdrawal of his license, and i: - statement above given be true relative to the number of persons who have visited the Argyll Rooms, and lee other fact that no complaint or disturbance requiring magisterial interference has occurred within the wake, we think, and we feel the public will also think with us, that that gentleman has been most unjustly treated by the withdrawal of hislicence, for we question very much if any of the other recognised places of amusement the Middle. sex magistrates patronised produced better certificates of character, on which to ask for the permission of the police, and the sanction of the justices to allow "free born" Englishmen and Englishwomen to participate in the refined enjoyment, and healthful recreatioo of high class music intersperced with dancing, than the Argyll Rooms. Sympathising with Mr. Bignell for the unjust persecution he has been subjected to, and know. ing also the great loss he must sustain by the closing of the rooms, this worthy band of employ6eo has rallied round him with a zeal and devotion truly gratifying to witness, and whilst presenting him with a substantial testimonial for the past, assure him of their readiness to make a sacrifice, if necessary, to assist him in obtaining next year the renewal of the licence. AA soon as it was known that the licence was withdrawn, the entp/oyees commenced a subseription amongst the a. selves, and raised a sufficient sum of money with whilh to purchase a handsome vase or cup to present Kr. Bignell as a token of their regard and esteem, and Fri day last was appointed for the presentation. The ceremony took place i❑ the Adelaide Ga!lPry, after tae termination of the evening's amusement. nisi place has been taken by Mr. Bignell for the acconinio. dation of his friends. It has been re-decorated and fitted up in an elegant style truly surprising, coro,iderinz the short period in which it has been accomplished, and we hope Mi. Bignell's enterprise will be re warded by patrons with that liberality he so justly deserves. Mr. HALL, of the orchestra, on behalfof M. Lamont, the leader, who is unable to speak English, presented the vase, accompanied with an address elegantly emblazoned on vel• lum,to Mr Bignell, and in doing so briefly but feelingly alluded to what had occurred in reference to the licen remarking that the objections raised to its renewal, it of any force, applied more to certain theatres and pia vs of amusement in the metropolis now open than to the Argyll-rooms. After some observations relative to the kindly feeling that had existed between them for so many years, which it was hoped would continue, and the readiness of the orchestra and the other employccs to render Mr. Bignell all the assistance possible f, r the attainment of his rights, he presented the testimoni,il to that gentleman amid the applause of all present. Mr. BIGNELL, in acknowledging this spontaneous and unexpected ebulition of feeling towards him of those in his employ, assured them that his object had been to study their interests in connection with his own, aid he was gratified to find that his conduct, after a conneotion of so many years, had gained for him their eeteeae and regard. He had watched their actions narrowly during the time they had been in his employ, and he was happy to be able to inform them that .t had been such as give him general satisfaction. As a body of men he 'fee proud to beleonnected with them, and as artists he u 024 challenge them against any band in England of the slate strength. As a sporting man, and a keeper of racehorses, he had striven hard to win a cup, but he had always beat mr-uccessful, his horse invariably running second. On this occasion, however, he found himself unexpectedly the winner of a cup, which he should value far beyond what his ambition, in a different course of life, led bum to hope. He sincerely thanked them for their kindnega. and expressed a hope that next year he should be ,•:ao• cessful in obtaining the renewal of the licence, and that they would all again meet at the Argyll-rooms after ei brief soimrn at the Adelaide Gallery. h t i h t e ta m k s e e r i ,A s ir. in warm termsGoldshede, of andoth ap er pr g o e b n a t t le io m n e o l expAriere Whittaker, themselves Mr. Bignell's conduct as an employer, the first gentle. man expressing a hope that Mr. Bignell would shortly be able to tread under foot his enemies, persecutors, slanderers.

Tii E ART TREASURES EXHIBITION.— There renta;nis now visible but a mere fragment of our late glorious Ils• hibition. Nearly all the historical portraits have dis:rp• pealed ; a great proportion of the sculpture has bsen packed ; not more than a score of works by modern artists remain hung in the three saloons ; and of the ancient masters, perhaps some 150 only are now upon the walls. The great bulk of the contributions of her Majesty the Queen has been dispatched to Windsor or w at o u r r k d s:u o tri et : to the metropolis; and, this forenoon, a special engine starts with most carefully-loaded trucks, bearing all that remains. Her Majesty's contributions fill no les. than 139 cases, some of them of the largest size ; and it must hesill a in n a d D ot a h y e , r s be remembered that this statement has no refer( ace whatever to the man_y_ . p c i: s r payment, 1,582 • buted by the Prince Consort, which are Very nearly ready to be returned. —Malichater Guardian. , ditto by Lava 31 C ......
