k Vi A AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, --.E>--- CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices of all descriptions were extreme. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market manifested a very dull appearance, and prices of all the leading stocks have declined. The discount market remains without any change of importance, and, the steadiness of the demand of Money considered, is of a permanent character. All expectation of money descending below 51 per Cent. during the present year is thus abandoned, and some persons are discussing the probability of a return to a higher minimum. It is Premature to hazard an opinion on this point however, when the course of events in India is so Uncertain. These may exert a prejadical influence, because in addition to the contingency of loans or other financial operations, the drain of specie is not likely to abate. Whenever a pause in the supplies from Australia or America takes place, withdrawals of gold frim the Bank, which are always a source of uneasiness, mty be expected. The rates of ex change at CAlcutta and Bombay, Hong Kong and Shanghai are all lower, but it is still thought that the efflux of diver will be conducted on a scale that Must divert gold to the continent ; for supplies of that metal purchases are being made, but not to so largo an extent as of late. When the letter; by the present mail are delivered, the position of the silver market and the probable nature of the operations of the Indian brokers during the next few weeks will Ile batter ascer tained. Some surprise was Caused yesterday afternoon When it became known that about 400,000/. in gold had been taken from the Bank. This movement Was unexpected, because only a few days previously there was no demand for gold, and the chief por tion of the quantity brought by the Swiftsure had been sold to the authorities ; besides this there Were supplies on hand from America, which it was thought could be rendered available for exportation if required. No tidings of the Great Britain have Yet been received, but its arrival cannot he much leriger delayed, unless some accident has b-;fallen her. The amount this and ether vessels, also due, 'will bring will, no doubt, prevent any serious de clension in the Bank's bullion, even although an active renewal of siver purchases should corn- Mence. Mr. Sothe rn Estcourt's motion on the Euphrates Railway is postponed until to-morrow *(Elliday) evening. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Cotn- Pally will pay at the rate of 5 per cent. per a nnum, whereas the dividend in 1856 was only 4 i per cent. At the half-yearly meeting of the Northern and Eastern Railway Company, held to-day, a dividend ° f 11. ss. was declared, on shares of 501. guaranteed 'Per cent. per annum; and 1/. 10s. on shares of 60 /. guaranteed 6 pek cent. per annum, less pro- Petty tax. Meetings of the Peninsula, Iberian, and Castil- SMining Companies were held' to-day, Sir E. Pearson, Bart., in the chair, when it was agreed to Wind them up separately, as likely to be unpro 4tab'e. There was a balance in favour of each c ompany. .Considerable disturbance was produced in the RtJek Market late yesterday afternoon by the an nouncement of the arrival of the Overland Mail. The particulars did not transpire, but numerous adverse rumours were circulated which occasioned a decline of about per cent. in the funds. Te-clay, however, there has been a partial reaction, because the advice 3 are considered more favourable than many persons expected, and certainly more so than the statements current yesterday evening represented them to be. Besides this, the assurance given by the Chancellor Of the Exchequer yesterday evening that the East India Company were not in immediate want of Ilancial assistance, has likewise aided in strengthen ing public confidence in the future, since dui.- 14 g the last two or three days fears have been expressed that a loan of ten or twelve millions s terling was contemplated. Some of those a lso sold yesterday afternoon have been re- Purobasing and this has caused an improvement to the extent of about g per cent. Consols yesterday a fternoon were 891 for money and 891.90 for ac count, but they are now 90,1 for money and 90/ I respectively. The New Threes are 90g I, and the Reduced 90i li' Exchequer Bills 2s. to Os. dis count, and the Bonds 98 ; India Bonds 255. discount.' For Foreign Securities the market is very in active, and except in Turkish 6 per cents., which have risen to per cent., viz., 94i 4, there has been no movement of importance. No business has been reclrded in the 4 per cent. guaranteed.

His Honour—l cannot make a general order of that kind. Mr. C can suggest that the letters should be submitted to the perusal of some third person to say what portion related to trading—it was necessary that the bankrupt should have them for his defence. 132 - 13 i 8 - SA S - 91 ••• 32 - 3 : 4 88 - 90 ) -;- E SHARES. ne wed.

His Honour said ho could not interfere, it was a matter entirely in the discretion of the assignees, and they would, no doubt, exercise it wiaely—they (Mr. Linklater and Mr. Cotterill) had better talk it over between themselves. Mr. Linklater said the lettars and papers hid been in his possession sealed up for a month, and Mr. Cotterill might see them. His Honour said he could not make any order. Mr. Linklatsr then applied for the admission of a proof for 5,000/. by Mr. Harding, the official pan ager of the Royal British Bank. The proof was admitted, arid the meeting terminated.

CHARGE OF INDECENT A SSA-ULT.—George Parker a powerfully made man, was • charged before Mr.' Beadon with breaking a pane of glass at the shop of M. G. Paul, fishmonger, Rupert-street, and with inde cently assaulting a female, named Emma Elton, under tbe following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence that the complainant, Emma Elton, was in Rupert-street late last night where she met the prisoner, who entered into conversation with her. After being a short time in his company he laid hold of her dress, which he attempted to flag over her head. She made a determined resistance, and suc ceeded in getting away from him. She, in order to he entirely free from him, went into the house of Mr. Paul for protection. The prisoner, upon seeing where she was gone to, deliberately broke a pans of glass. Mr. Paul valued the glass at 50A, Mr. Beadon (having been told that the complainant was a witness against a man who was in custody for uttering a forged 51. note, and who had offered her a sovereign to get it changed) made some remarks upon that circumstance, observing that it was rather singular sbe should be again so soon at that court. The prisoner was fined 503., the value of the glass. 6 ---- 95 97 it 1: .i 11 - 1 - 115 112 -- 116 - iP - 12i 121 io ---- i' Ili -316 105 - 107 1 100 - 102 60 -- 62 10} -10 q - ••: 92 - 94 82 84 83 85 98 100 9 - 1031 lai 17 9 10 70 73 18, 19 91 94 132 11.1 135 - 139 11~,- 115 155 - 158 - NC 61 - 66 133 - 135 97 - 99 87 - 89 ii = ii 1 ::: 16i 93 - 95 14- 1(1 i - 41 22 - 22-, 114 - 116 99 - 101 . • "--- • • • ... -- . 18 - 19 22i - 23 98 - 100 95 - 100 27 - 2S 2 - 3 PI ••• 1 -- ••• 2 -2 ; MINES. 16.4 -17 i - 7 130 -140 130 - 410 16 - 17 7.} - i 3 - 4_ i 9 - 1 1 17 - 16 3 - 4 f9k 20f 5 - 6 1$ - 315 - 325 5 - 6 285 -- 295 1k - 4 - 4k - 26 4 A - 27i 1 115 - 125 - 230 290 300 22 2 4 48 - 50 23 - 25 T H A ME S. INSENSIBLY DIVUNIL—NAREO R E , C&PE FROM DEATH. —An Izish labourer, named Toomey, was brought be fore Mr. Yardley, charged with being insensibly drunk in the London Dock, and stealing rum from a cask on one of the quays. Mr. John Sayre, a constable in the employ of the Dock Company, said the prisoner WAS found on the rum quay iu a state of insensibility, and Mr, Ross,' surgeon, of High-street, Shadwell, was called Open to prescribe for him in the guard-house of the dock, and pronounced bins to be dead drunk and to have been drinking rum. Mr. Ross applied the stomach pump to the prisoner, and extracted from his inside a pint of strong rum. The man was insensible for several hours afterwards, and if restoratives and other means had not been applied, he would have died. The prisoner was under medical treatment all night, and was still very ill. A cask on the river quay hal been plundered. Mr. Yardley—ls the prisoner a labourer employed in the dock Mr. Sayre—Yes he is, air, occasionally employed. The prisoner in defence said, that all he had to drink before be commenced work was two pints of beer, and that got the better of him. Mr. Yardley—Nonsense ; what say you to the rum taken from your stomach by the stomach-pump ? Prisoner—lt was the beer, sir, which got sour on my stomach, (a laugh). Mr. Yardley—No, that cannot be. It is contrary to all the laws of chemistry for beer to be converted int rum on a man's stomach. (laughter). You were nearly killed by drinking the rum, and I hope this will be a warning to you as long as you live. I fine you 10s. for plundering the rum cask, and is default seven days impri-oument. SCANDALOUS OuTnAIE —James Winder), a big man, described as a wax-flower maker, of No. 4, New-Areet, Shoreditch, was charged with assaulting Mr. J. Sherren, landlord of the Blue Anchor pnblichouse, Brook-street, Ratcliff, and John Putt, 197 K ; and Michael Sull,van, an Irish labourer, of No. 4, Queen Catharine-court, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and inciting , people to rescue Windom from the custody of the police constable Putt. It appeared that Windon, who had acted like a mad man, went into a beer shop in Brook-street last night, and, after making a disturbance an i doing considerable mischief there, was turned out. He then went into the house of Mr. Sherren and demanded his cap, which be said he bad last in the house. Mr. Sherren, finding the man was inebriated, begged of him to leave the house, which be refused to do, and attempted to get over the counter into the bar. Mr. Sberren prevented him doirsg se, and the prisoner laid hold of bins by the ,neckerchief, and nearly strangled him, tore his shirt to pieces, and inflicted other injuries upon him. Mr. Sherren's neck tie was also broken to pieces, and he was very much hurt. Some , persons went to the assistance of Mi. Sherren, who was quite exhausted, and the prisoner was given into the custody of Putt, whom he twice knocked down, kicked him, and disabled him. Other constables secured the fellow, but not until after a desperate struggle wi h him. On the way to the station-house, Sullivan, who was also intoxicated, called upon the people to resist the police, and was very active in throw ing stones at them. He was also captured and, locked up. Mr. Yardley sentenced Windon to 21 days' imprison ment, and Sullivan to 8 days' imprisonment. SOUTHWARK. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Charles Cushin, a labourer, was brought up in custody of 49 M, charged with committing an aggravated assault upon Mary Ann Betts. The complainant, whose mouth was bleeding, stated that she had lived with the prisoner as his wife for six years, and during that time be had frequently pro mised to marry her. She worked very hard to assist in keeping the house, but latterly the prisoner had been so much addicted to drunkenness, that he not only neglected his work, but took everything from the hou,e he could lay his hands on, to turn into money for liquor. When she remonstrated with him he abused her, and threatened to illuse her. Fur some days past he had been intcaicated, which rendered him incapable of working, and the result of this was she was nearly , starved. That morning he went out, and when she asked him for some money, or to allow her to come to his warehouse for a trifle to purchase food, he made use of an oath, and struck her in the mouth. She fell down, and then he kicked her on the hip. A ccnstabie came up at the time and took him into custody. The prisoner was sentenced to one month's hard labour.

By J. D'Ewes, Esq. Bentley. In a concise and p'easantly written narrative Mr. D'Ewes has given us his impressions of a number of very different places. We can compare the un settled active progression of the Australian colo nies with the prim and antique civilisation of the Celestial Empire, or we can find a contrast to both in the semi-barl'atiam of the Islands of the Pacific. His first destination was Port Philip, where he ar rived towards the middle of the year 1853, after a somewhat tedious passage. His cbject was to re cruit his health and fortune by a colonial sojourn of some years, and he accordingly endeavoured to obtain a Government situation. He was fortunate enough to succeed, and was appointed police ma gistrate at Ballarat during the absence of that official. This temporary appointment was after wards rendered permanent, and the author gives us some graphic acc;unts of his life at the diggings. His stay there was not I. , ng, for, owing to an awkward case in which he was involve 1, and which gave r se to some serious riots at Ballarat, he was deprived of his situation. Besides his place of re sidence, he gives a description of Ivlelhourne and Sydney. His information on colonial matters may be useful to some of his readers. The statistics of the sudden increase of Government expenditure are very curious. We subjoin a few :- 1851. 1852. 1853. Post-office 211,165 £17,362 Public Works. 32,697 51,163 719,924 Police In the following year the expenditure increased still more, though the revenue did not rise iu pro portion, consequently a strict system of official eco nomy was put in practice, and the salaries, &c., reduced, a circumstance that appears to have given little satisfaction. The author, subsequently, visited Nov Zealand, of which colony be gives a favourable picture. The natives, especially, con trast advantageously with other aborigines. On qUitting Australia, he went to the Friendly and Navigator Islands, and he gives a glowing account of their gorgeous tropical wealth of climate, though the inhabitants, as is so frequ3ntly the case, derive no benefit from the Livish gifts of nature. The auth , r recommends the Navigator Islands espe cially to the notice of the British Government, pointing out their advantages, if cultivated, in sup plying the markets of the populous Australian colonies. China, though the fir t name on the title page, was almost the last spot that he visited. He does not tell us much that is new respecting that singular people, but he shows them to us in favourable colours, as employed in their trades and markets. He visited the North of China, where the people are said to be much more friendly to wards foreigners than their southern countrymen. He was particularly struck with the extraordinary perseverance and industry of the people, who, as he justly observes, are "educated under the grossest superstitions, and living under the most despotic Government." Speaking of the agricultural dis tricts, in the neighbourood of Shanghai, he says, " The grain-fields of Europe, or even Egypt, sink into insignificance beside the crops that here cover immense space, forming as it were one vast field. The 'most laborious, artificial irrigation, minute system of manuring, and everything that can pos sibly tend to the culture an I improvement of the soil is praciised to the highest pitch of perseverance by the inhabitants. Not a single foot is allowed to lie waste, and the very embankments of the canals are all under cultivation." What a clntrast these indefatigable agriculturists present to their neighbours of the Pacific. On his way back from China, the traveller 'Aid a visit to the Dutch Indies, and speaks highly of the beauty and luxuriance of Java, which advantages are un fortunately counterbalanced by its extremely un healthy climate. The author, after an absence of about four years, returned to England, and if he did not realise the expectations with which he started, ho has succeeded in giving his readers a more satis factory journey. The Artist's Family. A novel. By the author of " Saville House." 3 vols. Newby. This story is interesting, and in many respects out of the common line of compositions. It seeks to represent the life of an artist struggling against *many adverse circumstances, but he, was his own worst enemy. Mr. Ashford is a forcible example to those sons of genius who consider themselves peculiarly privileged, as they are highly gifted, and not content wi h letting their fellow men appre ciate them, over estima' e themselves, till atlast they disgust the critical, and even wear out the friendly with their waywardness and capzice. The purport of this tale would tend to show that whatever allowance or indulgence may be felt for the heirs of fame, such feelings have their limits, and that ner vous irritability, sensitiveness, and susceptibility may be carried to such an extent, that they render the infatuated individual a torment to himself, and a burden to others. How 'different it would be if one, fired with more than common energy of mind, or refined with a purer sense of feeling, regarded the world's meaner things as dro is un w orthy of his notice, whose high destiny it was mould the perfect metal to a shining use, and the immortal issue of whose labaurs was to create lasting landmarks of human progress. Of such it might truly be asked— " Oh, should he not study his mind to div est Of the vanities, trifits, and follies of earth I" Notwithstanding his many faults the reader cannot fail to be interested in the artist, and his melancholy death is sad and touching. The subsequent misfor tunes that befell his family are graphically narrattti, and form a second story, as it were, of a more ro mantic and striking style. Some of the events are certainly exaggerated in description, which fails in adding to the effect, but altogether the records of the " Artist's Family" are attractive in their vivid 'sketches of suffering, and their forcible and superior rendering of character in some important scenes of existence. We meet with many subjects of study in the course of the fitful changes of the work, of whom Mr. Badger, the usurper of Mr. Ashford's inheritance, is perhaps the most life-like portrait. The Pedlar ; a Tale of Emigration. By Charles Delerme. 3 vol'!. The Medora ; a Tale of the Sea. By the author of the " Warlia,wk," k.e. 3 vok Newby. The first cf there stories consists chiefly of scenes of emigration life in America, in which great skill is displayed in recounting the various perils and perplexities into which the wanderers are plunged. The hero as3umes the disguise of a pedlar, and in that character, he is of essential service to the family of the emigrants herementioned, tli.Brainsoft3. There are some events in England which aro of an excit ing nature, when Clavering returns and finds his father in the power of a perfidious cousin who has contrived to spread abroad a report of his insanity, and keeps him in close confinement. After many miAlap.s and some amusing adventures, the narrative is brought to a prosperous trininaticn. The second novel, named " The Medora," is of a stiiking, and brilliant style. It is interesting to peruse, on account of the critical positions in which its heroes and he: nines are constantly placed ; and it is further rendered attractive ifrom the scene being laid in the period of the late war, and some real characters being introduced into its pages. Some of the escapes are cleverly contrived, and the passages which relate to the sea adventures are sketched with a freedom and freshness in keeping with the subject, and proclaim that the author has entered fully into the spirit of his work, which has evidently been performed con amore.

Accordingly the entire garrison wes yesterday morning assembled on Woolwich common, arid drawn up in two lines, consisting of every available man off duty. The front was composed of the troops of the Royal Horse Artillery and the battalion companies under orders for India ; the second line was formed of two bat talions, Royal Horse Artillery, and the battery companies.

The troops then marched past in slow and quick time, and retired to quarters. At 2 p.m. the four companies about to proceed to India were marched down to the Royal Arsenal pier, preceded by the regimental band, and embarked in the following order :—Major M. C.

REPORT Olf TIIE cOALWHIPPERS ACT.—The report of the select committee of the House of Commons was published yesterday. The committee consider that the present s t a te of the coalwhippers, as a class, is deserving of cons i deration, and that the grievances alleged are susceptible of remedy, except so far as relates to the in sufficiency of employment and a consequent depression of wages. The com m itt ee do not recommend the re vival of the Act of 1843. The pnblichouse grievance is considered worthy o f the attention of the Legislature. It is suggested, in fine, that each employer keep a register of labour, giving the time and place where each coalwhipper has been paid, with other details, which shall be open to the constant inspection of the Board of Trade, or the magistrates of the district. The evidence taken before the committee is appended. LOLA MONTES.—The renowned Lola Montes is now spending a few days at Niagara falls. She has appeared at the Buffalo Theatre as a sort of interlude to her sea- son of pleasure. Ou Friday morning Lola took the tram for Buffalo, and, without advice iron any source, she seated herself in the baggage car to quietly puff her cigarette. While thus cosily throwing off from her lips the curling smoke, she was discovered by the conductor and informed that passengers were not permitted to ride in the baggage cars. She paid no attention to the intimation, but continued to smoke as if no one had ad. dressed her. Assistant -Superintendent Collituaer was at the s t a tion, and was informed what Lo la was doing. He said she mustdo as other passengers did, and that she could not be permitted to ride in the baggage-car. The conductor called upon her, and politely told her musttha p t a s s li s e enrs. take a seat in one of the cars designed for passengers. Lola drew herself u p into an attitude of defiance, and told the conductor that she bad travelled all over the world, and had always rode where she had a mind to, and proposed to do so in this case. The conductor ex postulated with her, and assured her that f h u e rtr way b u t executing the order of the superintendent a nd the rules of the company. Lola replied that she bad ithorsewhipped" bigger men than he." This settled the matter. The conductor withdrew, and Lola was not again disturbed. She rode to Buffalo in the baggage car, and had no occasion to use the whip. The railroad. men did not care to further disturb the tigress,—Rothei ter Union, July 20.
