The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday opened with a quiet aspect, but during the day an increased demand was apparent, at steady prices. The sales were 4,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken on speculation. The Railway Share Market was very dull, and prices of all descriptions were lower. The public were generally prepared for a very unfavourable Bank of England return for the week ending the 10th inst., and the changes it exhibits, although extremely unsatisfactory, have therefore • produced no surprise. The decline in the bullion and the reserve • of notes is not greater than might have been fairly expected, considering the recent disturbances in the money-market, and the extreme measures which the Directors of the Bank have been called upon to adopt. The other securities now reach an exceedingly high point, and the general features of the balance sheet shows that the resources of the establishment have been severely touched upon. A more quiet feeling however now exists, and the influx of upwards of half-a-million sterling appears to give increased confidence with regard to the future. The next return, it is thought, will show some improvement, and the crisis, if such it may be termed, is now considered to have been surmounted. The principal items, and the alterations they show, are as subjoined : ' Active Circulation Increase 42,835 Bullion 10,109,943 Decrease Rest , 3,959,288 Increase Public Deposits • Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 872,580 Decrease Government Securities Decrease 33,000 Oyler Securities Increase Notes unemployed 4,024,400 Decrease The official return of the exports of precious metals from the port of London for the week end• Jug Thursday last is as follows : Gold Bars ... Boulogne ... 62,260 Oze. ... Belgium ... 1,500 ~ Gold Coin ... Boulogne ... 1,600 „ Silver „ ... Boulogne ... 2,400 ~ It appears that the commercial community, under their late feeling of anxiety lest the Bank of England rate should ascend to 8 per cent., ob tained a very large amount of capital, and much more than they required for immediate use. Now that the apprehension is removed, the inquiry for money has booome moderate, and the applications both at the Bank of Eng land and in Lombard-street, represent a comparatively small amount. This abatement of the pressure has not yet caused any relaxation in the terms, but a better feeling prevails out of doors. If the specie imports are kept below the exporte, affairs will soon undergo some improvement, pro vided the American advices report an amelioration in the financial business of that country. Tho English funds improved nearly one-half per cent. this morning, showing that a decided re covery had commenced. Several large purchases have been made both by the public and on specu lative account, but there is no doubt that a still more active inquiry would exist if the anxiety felt in relation to America were removed. It is thought that the course of the market will depend in a great measure upon the next advices, and anxious inquiries are male both at Lloyds and the Jerusalem as to whether the Ariel has been announced. When the market Was at its best point, a leading broker came in and sold a very large amount of stock—according to some from 150,0001. to 200,000/. This naturally arrested the upward tendency, and a decline of nearly Y per cent. took place. The quotations are, therefore, about the same as they were at the close of business yesterday afternoon. This change be ing so sudden and unlooked for has caused a little commotion amongst the speculators and dealers Who remained in town, but the greater nnmb , r of them, as usual on Saturday, had left at an early hour. Consols for transfer were at one time as high as 89k; and for account 8911. They suddenly declined to 881 2 for money and to 882 -6 for th• 10th prox., when the large sale of stock already alluded to Was made. The Now Threes have ranged from 87/ to 88k, and th© Reduced from 871 to 882. Bank stock is 213, and India stock 209. Exche quer Bills are 4s. discount, and the Bonds 98 to 98f. The transactions in the Foreign Market have been limited. Turkish 6 per Cents., after having risen to 88i 1, have receded to 87188. The 4 per Cents: are 98i, Mexican 191 t, and Spanish De ferred 25g. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi can, 19 19i ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 75 77 ; ditto 3 per Cents., —; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 44 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 105 108 ; ditto 4i per Cents., ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 401 402 ; ditto New Deferred, 25f ; ditto Certificates, 52 6; ditto Passive, 52 6. The Railway Share Market to-day has been mo derately active, and in most instances an advance of about to 1 per cent. may be quoted in values. Eastern Counties, Great Northern, North Western Midland, North British, improved 103. ; Cale donian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton and South Eastern, it. In the Foreign and Colonial lines prices ha.vo.also improved. Paris and Lyons, East Indian, and Grand Trunk of Canada being about 1/. higher. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, but maintain fully former rates. BRITISF/ FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY. (limn the Official List;) Hank Stock Business done. 3 per Cont.

In some few mines a rise of nearly 50 per cent. has taken place, owing to reported improvements and discoverits. Seine of the heavy, or large dividend shares, are flatter, and show symptoms of declining if sellers appear, and which may bs accounted for by the fact that small shares, chiefly each as have been for some depressnl, and now show signs of vitality, are the favourites of the moment ; and arnong these the greatest attention in turned to Wheal Ho y , Sydney, Lady Bertha, Grenvd,e, Tehidy, Kelly Bray, and Gawton United.

GRoss OUTRAGB IN TOTHILL FIELDS PRISON. —Emma Turner, a girl abort 20 years old, was brought up on a warrant from Tothill-hells PriFon, Westminster, in which she had b een suffer i ng for disorderly con d uct, charged w i t h t h e following gross orage a term of imprisonment Mr. Joseph Samuel Lavies, a member of the Colege of Surgeons, stated that he was the medical officer at present, doing duty for the gsatleman who nOw holds that appointment at the Prison.' It was his duty to inspzct the whole of the prisoners and to attend to all such as wer e sic!e. Oe the 21st of September, on being informed that the prisoner was unwell, he went to the prisoner's cell, and inquired how she was, when she flew at him, struck him a vio lent blow on the side of the. head, tore his cap with her nails, and kicked him. On the 2 , 1 of October she again struck him on the face, and a day or two afterwards she emptied the filthy conter,t3 of a cell-vessel over the lower part of his dress. Complainant appealed to the visiting justices of the prison, but they refused to interfere, 611 the ground that ho was not the regn•arly appointed and paid medical officer of the prison. Prisoner's conduct doting the last week had been very g od, and a 3 she rrally appeared to be extremely sorry for her cocduet, 121 did nut wish to press 01.3 charge with severi y,' but he had felt it an imperaive duty to seek the protection of the law. Mr. Paynter remarked at some length upon the extra. ordinary and unprovoked character of the case, the nuns. ber of cutrages which had recently taken place in this prison, and the evident want of proper discipline.

Business this day L - ITERA TURF.. The .IVebte Traytour. A Chronic'). By Thomas, of Swarraton, Armiger. 3 vols. Smith, Elder, and Co. The days of Queen Biz )Iseqr have always offersd a tempting epoch to poets and romancists. The love tragedy of the great Earl of Leicester has been immortalised by the pen of Sir Walter Scott, and ' authors of every degree have found, in the excitement of public eveats or the stirring lives of the great men of the time, a most attrac ti re combination of the authenticity of history, and the startling contrasts of romance. The rulers of that day were of no crinmon order. Elizabeth herself, Henry of Navarre, and William of Orange were chara'cters that could riot fail to have an im press on their times, and their subordinates, whether civil or military, numbered many of the most eminent names in the records of camps and cabinets. And great as is the cele brity of the statesmen and the warriors, it is eclipsed by the st in of another sphere ; and . Burleigb, Leicester, and Sully, Di also, Don John of Austria, and Philip Sydney, do not fill the first rank in the a g e of Kepler an d Tycho Mahe, of Raleigh and Cervantes, of Bacon and Shakspeare. To this age, to all its warfare of nations and opi nions, t 3 all its busy strife and plottings, to the society of its worthies and no:abilities of every degree, to the streets of its quiet London and the company of its uncertain post carriers, even to its quaint phraseology and typography, the rea d er i s transported by the chroni c l e before ur under' the guidance of Thomas of Swarraton. He has taken toihis hero one whose brilliant talents and suc cesses, whose high favour at court, and with the people, whose early death within the walls of the fatal Tower, especially fit him for the hero of a romance. The Eat]. of Essex, the last of Queen Elizabeth's favourites is " the Noble Traytour" of these volumes, and his memory finds au ingenious and devoted defender in their author. Ile repre sents him, as indeed most hiStoriatis have done, as brave, impetuous, and ambitious to a perilous de gree, and from the frankness and openness of his nature, as well as from his haughty and imperious temper, quite unable to compete with :Fa) cold and crafty policy of a court. Her Majes . y, Queen Elizabeth, however, receives sumo severe censures and is represented as having, by her inconsistency and harshncss, mainly contributed to her favourite' s downfal. Two of the notabilities of the day, Francis Bacon and Walter Raleigh, are not shown in very favourable colours ; the latter chiefly appears as the rival and enemy of Essex. The story opens at Cambridge, with a elms of tennis, and leads the victor o f t h e t enn i s court through the " paths of glory," which his ambition foretold, -to the grave, which he could scarcely have anticipated, at the close of his career. Philip Sidney, the Bayard of English chivalry, is introduced in the first volume, and his d e ath a t Zutphen recorded at its close. His youthful widow snbsequently became Countess of Essex, and lost her second husband on the scaffold. The great drama-. tist himself forms part of the motley company : we meet him dining with Lord Southampton and hia friends at the "Great Harry ;" again at the Globe Theatre, where the presence of the Queen herself cannot make him forget his part of counterfeit royalty ; and lastly at the trial of the two Earls he is represented as watching " tlfe death struggle be t wean the all-powerful law of offended England and the gentle youth who was his earliest friend." A good part of the story is occupied with the fortunes of the family of Sir Thomas Chem y, a country knight of old descent, well versed in the science of heraldry. He is a favourable specimen of the English country gentleman of three centuries ago, .and his wife, Lady Elizabeth, is a fitting companion picture. Their only son William is the • schoolfellow and especial friend of the Earl of Essex, and in the troubles that befal his father, be joins Sir Francis Drake's expedition to the West Indies, in the hope of increasing his fortune, lie afterwards joins Essex in his disastrous visit to Ireland. The author eagerly fellows how sickness and mortification, combined with the mali ce o f hi s opponents, overthrew the Earl's judgment in his mad attempt to excite the populace and seize the palace. He represents tho Queen as stern and implacable ' • but it is somewh a t cur i ous he should have omitted the romantic story 'of the ring, which has been sufficiently well established to find a place in the pages of history. The minor-characters of the day, as a class, have been familiarised to the reader by many a gifted pen, and the present writer is not unskilful in drawing them. Hero id a description of the Queen in her earlier days. There was a maidenly bashfulness in her gait: there was a prudence in her conduct : there was au evidence of learning and thoughtfulness in her talk : wisdom for self, counsel for others : with an offset of genial kindness in the gestare of her early life, which at once secured for her the hearts of her people. bhe was (so they said) a fresh Spring after the stormy Winter of her Sister's reign. And the promise of her youth : has she yet betrayed it ? In her counsels she has engaged the most worthy or the most zealous. Her severity, is it not just? Her clemency, are there not few who need it? You will admit that, amidst the general commotions of Europe, so wild and fearful at this epoch, her realm rests profoundly. Neither the subtlety of the serpent Mother-Queen of France, Cathe rine of Medicis, nor the Barabbas policy of her whilom brother-in-law, remorseless Philip of Spain, shall affect her while she rules in—and not over—the consciences of her people The following is a picture of her Majesty at Court : The trumpets sound ! The doors of the Privy chamber open. Ushers are seen pacing backwards ; clouds of muslin and lace float about ; a strong odour of Civet is perceived. Gold stick and silver stick bend to the ground. The seven Gentlemen, the Lord Chamberlain, yea, the Old Hi g h Treasurer himself, fell on their very knees. The rest bow low, very low, and repeatedly. Silence is audible in the tread of Majesty. With erect head and firm atop, the Virgin Queen of England walks towards her Throne. The Ladies of the Court prepare to arrange themselves around. " Ha 1 we had forgotten," quoth Elizabeth ; and, turn ing to the kneeling gentlemen, draws out the rapier of the nearest, placing it successively on the shoulders of each. " Rise up, Sir Walter Italegh 1" "An the tide float him he'll rise, and high enough," saith one. " Sir Francis Vere." " Sir Horace Vera." " Vera ? De Vero, verily ! Amen ! amen !" " Sir Christopher Hatton." " Hat on ! eh ? and i' the presence !—Fie ! fie ! Sir Kit !" " Sir Lamprey Ledger." "And he'll enter that pen'orth in 's book now, and write knight' on each page ! 'Twill be hard now but he'll tot up , till that mark o f royal favour com e t o a no bl e a t least.' " Sir Toby Figgie." "Marry, the Queen bath figged Sir Toby 1" " Sir Jasper Plum." " An her Grace would fish for rod herrings now ! Surely these carpet knights 'II make sorry champions should a war break out." "Silence !" " By my troth and holidanao, Master Cecil, thou'rt out witted. Her Grace bath dubbed the Gentles before the Grocers, maugre thy gross policy." " Hush !" "Mum An the vixen Queen double not after the old fox Treasurer, my name's no longer Richard Tarleton." She passes on, glancing at kor old Chancellor. Strange woman ! His confusion is her triumph ! " May it please you Highness," Pays Sir Francis Vore, " my former suit remembered—" " God's body, Knight ! is't not honour enough for one day to be dubbed—and by our own hand, too ; oh? An thoult be a Lord, sirrah ! E'en wait our pleasure ! Whom have wo here?" "'Tie the worshipful company of Merchant Tailors, may it please you Grace." And hero the worshipful com pany crawled humbly °sr their knees, presenting their petition. It was a wordy docuuroat, tedious and selfish as you would expect, yet fairly engrossed withal ; and setting forth how that the wcolstaplers, drupors, lacommkere, and such kindred crafts, their charges being great and grievous, loft them (her Highne ss ' s p e titi oners an d most b oun d en bedesmen) little Profit and still less content. " God gi' ye good e'en, gentlemen, both 1" saith the Queen. " An they lack t wo o' the scorn there ha just nine to the man ! By Mary ! the woman bath fitted the Tailor ! Grace bath no need of the natural wit ! Bess shall wear Dick's cap and bells! The fool's sceptre and the Queen's bauble : Handy-dandy, both's so like neither, you can't tell t'other from which !" The following extract relates a wall-known quarrel between the Queen and the Earl of Essex : And there was talk that clay of Ireland ' • how a discreet Govereour should presently be sent, for it bath over boon a difficulty to our Statesmen how to rule that disorderly realm. And the Lords spako their minds : one praising Sir William Knollys, another vaunting Sir George Carew. And her Highness was for Sir William, but my Lord for Sir George. And this fanned up the smoking flax of Essex's wrath: for the Queen chafed him, harshly charg ing that ho would thrust Carew on that desperate business to the end he might rid himself of an enemy ; whereas he ought to have honoured his uncle Knollys with so excellent a dignity ! And the Earl, who had contained himself to the utter most, could hold no more, his indignation was poured out 'Twas as running sulphur whereon a live coal falls. With a fierce and contemptuous countenance, flushed and glar ing on,her, ho turned o' th' heel to leave the closet. " Go, and be hanged 1" screamed her Grace, striking my Lord on the ear with an outstretched palm. "Go !" Verily, there is no tempest comparable to the passionate indignation of a Prince : nor yet at any time is it so un seasonable as when it lighteth 'upon those who might ex pect a harvest of their careful and painful labour ! The Earl of Nottingham was a Nobleman born. He was an honourable rival of Essex in glory. He was a kind man, moreover, and one (though not a courtier, sir), wise and wary enough. "Go to, my Lord !" quoth he, endeavouring to hurry the flaming Earl from the presence. "Go to, my dear Lord ! For the sakeof"---- " My Lord !" stammered out Essex, his hand yet on his sword-hilt. "Hush ! Go to !" said the valorous old sailor, gently removing the treasonable band from its dangerous place. "My Lord ! Such an act I-- from bee— " Good, my Lord ! no more 1" " Had her boisterous fire"--- " Dear Lord ! your pardon !" continued Nottingham, now at the door. " Have a care !"

Accents from Belfasi , , dated yesterday evening, supply the following proceedings in connexion with the recent frauds on the Customs. The two pri soners, Messrs. Henley and Harbison, have, it will be seen, b3en committed . for trial, Henley, how ever, being admitted to bail, but Harbison still remaining in custody : " Few matters connected with the commerce of this town have excited more widespread interest than the recent tea frauds of John James Moore. Coming as it does close on the heels of the commis sion of inquiry into the Belfast street riots of July and September, which have done so much to lower the reprration of the town, it is felt as doubly to be regretted. The: eis nothing that the merchants and manufacturers of the town are so sensitive on as their commercial probity, and anything that even slightly trenches upon their high character for rec titude in their dealings gives them especial pain ; but it should be remembered that Moore, the prin cipal delinquent in these tea frauds, was only for three or four years connected with Belfast. He travelled some years ago for some of the most emi nent homes in the tea trade in Livereool, London, and Glasgow, and, attracted by the prosperity of Belfast, he settled down here, became a junior partner in the home of M'Donnell and Co., and, on the retiring of the senior member of the to , ::bout 18 mouths ago, he was left in role possession of the business. No iri ervulatity was suzpected to have taken place in the bonded story iu connexion with his premises till the Ist October, when a search was instituted, and it was then discovered that no fewer than 786 chests were what are technically called dummies ; that is, the chests containing the teas had been taken away and others had beau substituted, the contents of which were brickbat, turf, straws and sawdust, while the exterior cover ings were brandel with the Custom-horse marks, and made in every reipect similar to the real chests. The duty on the missing chests i5.,4,4001. Moore disappeared from town on the evening of the rearcb, and, notwithstanding the exertions of the police, he has not since beau heard of. Two other persons were arrested, one a _young man named, Henley, who filled a situation as clerk in a respect able manufacturing firm in town, and the other a man named Harbison, who was employed till within three months ago by Moore. The charge against both these is for aiding and assisting in illegally removing goods from a bonded warehouse to evade the Customs' duties, contrary to the pro visions of the CustDtns Comoli(lation Act of 1853.' There have been several priVate investigations, and to-day the first public exaneine.ton was hold in the Town-hall. A very large number of the merchants and business people of tho town attended in the Counci-chambor to hear the proceedings." There were but two witnesses examined—Mr. W. W. Godfrey, landin g surveyor of the port, a n d John Robb, a porter in the employment of Moore —but their evidence elicited no now facts. and two su re ti es of 250/. The prisoners were then committed f or t r i a l at e th ac e h sp p r r izg on a:iz in es, soo l . d , a rule of b a il was f i xed of each.
