Accounts from Liverpool state that the CottOn market closed with a quiet appearance, and prices W ere without any material alteration. The sales ' Were estimated at 4,000 bales. The Railway Share mark e t closed without animation and prices were 4 shade lower. Owing to the temporary lull in the demand for s ilver, the Continental exchanges are firmer, and Yesterday there was a slight advance on most of t he principal ell ies. The quota tion at New York for GO days' bills ou London remains at about 109 k, 4 1 we are still receiving small remittances from that quarter. The Vanderbilt, arrived yesterday, b ronght about 105, 0001 ., b ut some of this is in ,'ll'lo fir France. The following is an extract fr om a circular p re- Pared - for transmission to India, by Messrs. H. W. ' i ewesbury and Co.:-. "The late unfavourable advices from India have again fused more speculative inquiry for salpetre, indigo, and I l ee, all of which articles have ag ain advanced in p rice. ° other produce little has been doing, excepting for im tiediate requirements, the 'unsettled state of aff-sirs in the D ,'St makillore h as been more inquiry lately for lac dye, under the 'apression that (owing to the disturbances in India) sup tiea may begin to fall off. Cochineal and Safflower are oth dearer since our last. From the continental produce n larkets the accounts are, that business had remained but prices wera very firm. From the cot manufacturing districts we learn that business t to not been so much interrupted as was anticipated upon ae receipt of the Indian news ; and although buyers were ;.)Pae_(l r,iting with caution, the amount of bu siness transacted !,'„ increased, and former prices were fully maintained. 'Corn the woollen districts the accounts state that the ad /Ince in the price of wool had checked business, and as taercba,uts were not inclined to pay higher rates, trade had llontinued flat. On the 16th ult. the Bank reduced its rate t o si, at which it new remains ; the demand for mone y has lately increased, and rates are fully maintain ed. We ( Note six months' paper 6 to 61, three months' 51, and ni "eY on call 4i to 5 per cent." It was announced yesterday afternoon that the Pastern Counties dividend will be 5s , and not 45., Per share, as erroneously reported. This caused an iMmediate improvement in the shares, which, how ever, has not since been fully maintained. We believe that the Government have pai d over t° the agents of the Danish Government the 1 , 2 00,0001. which, it had been agreed, should be ! fi ven as indemnification for the abolition of the Sound Dues. The report presented to the shareholders of the Engli s h and Australian Copper Company to-day Proposed a dividend of 2s. 6cl. per share. At the half-yearly meeting of the Royston and iiitchin Railway Company to-day, the usual divi dend, guaranteed by the Great Northern Company, ° I 6 per cent. per annum, was declared payable forthwith. During the last two or three days the de mand for Money has been exceedingly active, and as there is nothing to account for this but the ar rangements of the commercial community, it is t hought that no further improvement will take thee at present. The operations in silver w hen h e Overland Mail arrives, the settle -41 cuts at the Stock Exchange, and other inci aental demands may support full rates , but theta i s no immediate apprehension of a t e,turn to a higher quotation of discount, unless the s Pecie movement become so unfavourable as to c ause a renewal of the efflux from the Bank of Eng land. At this moment we are receiving large sup lies of the precious metals from Australia, the tinited States, and Mexico. Thus there are ample beans for purchases of any amount of silver that Thay be immediately required for shipment to the -iac=t, but if the drain continue on the scale lately- Witnessed it is probable that large sums may be occasionally taken away from the Bank vaults. The Funds are still very flat, and business is dull, T .P e uding the receipt of later intelligence from Although considerable doubt is felt with reg ar d to the fate of Delhi, and it is known that .if its capture is confirmed, prices must advance, speculative sales are continued, be eari%e the prospect of an Anglo-Indian lean is considered unfavourable, and it is thought that the struggle may be protracted. The Bears are therefore encouraged - to extend their engagements. 0 011507 s have been largely dealt in, at 891 901 and 89 / 90 for money ; and for the 9th of September they have been 90 ± and 90 A -a.

An open verdict was returned. Holism]] EFFECTS OF DISSIPATION.—THE GOLD DIGGINGS. —Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Railway Tavern, Hampstead-road, before Mr. Wakley, the coroner for the western division of Mid dlesex, on view of the body of Mr. John Jones, aged 46, late clerk in the employ of Messrs. Koliatz, of Mark lane. It appeared from the evidence that the de ceased a short time before his death bad become pos. sensed of a very considerable sum of money, left to him by a brother who hdd Recumulated the same at the gold diggings in Australia. The possession of such wealth changed the habits of the deceased, who was previously a sober man, and he took to excessive drink ing•—so much so that he became a decided madman.

Sir C. WOOD was understood to say that he was not aware of any difference being made. The Marines now en route to China would have the same allowances as the Marines already there. COMMITTEES OF SUPPLY. Leal J. RUSSELL brought up the report of the com mittee on committees of supply. LAND TRANSPORT CORPS. Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition from members of the land transport corps, and gay(' notice of his in tention to move that it be printed with the votes. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Mr. DISRAELI—Perhaps it may be more conve nient if I now make the inquiry respecting recent pro ceedings of the ambassadors at Constantinople of which I have given notice. The house is aware that the am bassadors of four European powers at Constantinople have struck their flags, and I infer from that that they have at least suspended diplomatic relations with the Porte. It is understood further that this extreme and violent proceeding has arisen out of a misunderstanding as to the form of government to be established in the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. It was understood that at the Congress of Paris there was an accordance of opinion upon this subject between France and Begland, both powers being in favour of the anion of the provinces ; but now it would appear that'there is a contrariety of opinion between France and Eaggnd and what I want to know whether the noble lord at the heal of the Government can give US any information on the sul ject—whether there is any prospect of an amicable settlement of t he existing differences between England and France, or any fear of an estrangement of feeling, which all would deplore, or of any interruption of the much-cherished alliance between the two coun tries (Hear) • Leal PALMERSTON—I am not surprised that the right hon. gentleman should ask the question, as the various statements which have appeared in the papers must have given rise to a certain amount of anxiety on the part of the public. There have been, it is true, differences of opinion at Constantinople., but not, as the right hon. gentleman imagines, on the queatign of union or no union, but with r espect to the regularity or irre gularity of the elections which bad taken place in Mol davia. The right hon. gentleman is aware that by the treaty of Paris there were to be chosen in the two pro vir.ces representative assemblies, which were to take into consideration the wants and wishes of the people of the two produces with regard to their internal organisation and arrangement. There were to be commissioners appointed by the six Powers, to be pre:re s ent in the Principalities during the elections and del:heratioes, and when the asseintTes should have expressed their wishes, and the commissioners should have roads their reports on what bad passed, their wishes and their r e ports wero to be submitted to the Congress of Paris, which was to reas semble for that pu r pose—not as before, but to be com posed of the resident ambassadors from the respective courts. The representative of the Porte was to be of the number, and they wire to deliberate on the representa tions and the report, and to concert with the Sultan an arrangement for the c institutional governmeot ot the two provinces. \VeP, the Porte in the execution of this ar rangement issued a finnan directiA to t in governors of the two preainees, setting forth the manner in which the elections were to take place, giestiocs arose as.to the interpretation of certain parts of the firman, which had been settled with the unanimous consent of the re presentatives of the six powers at Constantinople, acting in concert with the Turkish government. Certain ex planations were given on the 31st May by the Turkish government in regard to that finnan ; those explanations were sent to the commissioners at Bucharest and they were to be transmitted to the governor of Moldavia, to be applied, not only in Moldavia, but also in Wal lachia in so far as they were applicable, having due con sideration for certain local differences as to laws and re gulations. Well, what with telegraphic messages, what with irregularities on the part of those who oug.ht to have transmitted the documents—l speak of the c:ffLers of the Turkish Government—the elections in Moldavia took place without reference to those interpretation= , and there prevailed au impression that those elections were not in accordance with regularity and law, and that if those interpretations had been strictly followed, the results would have been different. Tide was repre sented to the ambassadors at Constsu inople,_ and four of them, the French, Russian , Parisian , and S irdinian severally, and without acquainting the English and Aus trian ambassadors with their inten.ions, c died on the Turkish Government to aanul the electiOns, have the electoral lists reviser!, and order the elections to com mence over again. The Porte felt that these demands which applied to matters that had been treated in com mon by the f3x powers, ought not to come from four alone, and declin , ,d complying with the request, saying, however, that if it were made by the six , it would place the matter in a different position. There were misunder standings on ell sides, and the result was t hat France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia either all hauled down their flags or interrupted diplomatic relations, or were abut to do it, and relations were about to be suspended between those powers and the Potts. The recent visit of the Emperor of the French to 0 •bor ne accompanied by his Minister of Foreign Affairs, ga ve the English Go vernment an opsortunity of coming to a full understand ing with the French Government on this subject, fa a cie nd we thought undoubtedly that sufficient priara L grounds of irregularity had not bee n prayed, but found the contrary opinion to be so prevalent as to make it desirable in the interests of the Porte itself that these elections should be revised, and be made in conformity with the accepted 'interpretation of the firmer). We have reason to believe that Austria is disposed to take similar views, and, that b ein g so, we have good reason to believe that the Sultan, not feeling his dignity or independence at all compromised by yield ing to toe representations of the whole of his allielling s, will take the course recommended, viz., that of annu th elections, having the lists properly revised, and having the new elections take place 15 days after the lists have been so revised. Therefore there are no grounds for ap prehending any difference of opinion between the Go vernments of England and France on these points, which would be at ail likely to interrupt the harmony and good un d e rstanding that PORATION prevails at pßEFOß M resent. (C.heers ) In answer to Sir J. SHELLEY, Sir G. GREY said it was the intention of Govern ment to propose a measure on the subject of corporation reform early in the ensuing session. SMITHFIELD -MARKET. Sir J. SHELLEY asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether the Government would, as far as they had the power to do so, insist upon the area lately occupied by the market in Smithfield being preserved as an open space I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question had come under the consideration of the corpo ration of London, and the latter had laid certain plans before Government with a view of establishing a dead meat market on a portion of the site. The Government did not give its assent to those plans, and they had been referred back, in order that other plans might be pre pared. He expected to receive the revised plans shortly. THE INDIAN MAIL, Mr. SPOONER asked whether there was any truth in the report that an Indian mail had arrived ? Lord PALMERSTON cautioned the hon. member against the many idle reports which were current. The mail had not arrived. MILITARY CHAPLAIN. On the order of the day being read for going into com mittee of supply, Col. NORTH, on behalf of Gen. Windham, who was absent, inquired whether when a clergyman entered the army as an assistant chaplain, his service counted for his retirement in the same way as that of an assistant-snr geon ; and, if not, why not Sir J. RAMSDEN replied thatthe serviceof a clergy man entering the army as an assistant chaplain did not count in the same way for retirement as that of an assis tant surgeon, and the reason was that the assistant surgeon was a commissioned officer, while the chaplai n held only a temporary appointment. TROOPS FOR INDIA. Sir DE LACY EVANS, pursuant to notice, rose to draw the attention of the house to the military arrange ments being made for meeting the contingency that has occurred in the Bengal Native Army. The hon. and gallant officer spoke in so low atone that wewere unable to give more than an outline of his remarks.
