"U . 4 6 17.11. 11. 1 1 . 1 J j. AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. Aceounts from Liverpool mention that the Cott on Market yesterday closed quietly, and Prices were unaltered. • The sales were estimated at about 5,000 biles. Tito Railway Share Market closed steadily at previous rates. The Bank of England weekly return, made up to the I.9th inst., is not of a character to inspire Confidence in the establishment of a lower discount quotation. On the contrary many will be induced to predict greater stringency, unless SOme change for the better soon takes Plac e . What creates most attention is the accumulation of securities, and the decline In the bullion, but tne latt , r, it is hoped may soon be remedied by the arrival of Australian gold, which i S now on the passage, and may be considered over clue. Thera is reason to believe that the total at the present moment exceeds the aggregate given below, as 150,0001. to 200,0001. in gold and sove reigns was sent into the vaults early this week. The securities, however, in the face of preparations for the end of the month, are not likely to diminish, but rather the reverse. The reserve of notes has bleu trenched upon to a small extent, but there is a large increase in the other deposits to which this adverse movement may be ascribed. The principal items, and the changes they present, are as sub joined Active Circulation Increase 28,390 L Bullion 11,188,560 Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decr ease aseven-Day and other Bills 802,670 Increase i 19,216 Government Securities No alteration.

There was an increase in beer and ale, coals and Claim, cotton manufactures, earthenware, haber dashery and millinery, hardware and cutlery, Metals, silk manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool, and woollen and worsted yarn. There was a felling off in oils, soap, British spirits and refined sugar. The imports were larger 43 regards live animals, flax, currants, leather manufactures, provisions, raw silk, brandy, tallow, timber, wine, and sheeps' and lambs' wool, but a diminution is exhibited in bristles, coffee, torn, flour, raw cotton, rice and tea. The tonnsge of vessels engaged in the foreign trade shows a con- Illderable increase inwards, as also for those cleared %awards in which British shipping largely parti- eipated. The Funds remain without the least alteration, Arid the general position of the market remains Just the same as on the last two days. There is Nothing new to report with regard to the circuna !stances which have produced this inactivity, and Until the news from India arrives, no return of 11 Peculative animation can be looked for. Consols have remained at 90 to 90A- ; and 901 fir account, India Stock is 209 to 200 ; and Exchequer Bills are 10s. to 6s. discount. The Foreign market is also very inactive, and Ile change can be recorded in values. Turkish 11 6 per Cents. are still at about 94 1 95 . Mex ican Stock is marked 21 to 211, and Dutch 2i per 1 Cents. 641. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stacks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5i 6 ; Mexi can, 21/ ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 781 7 9 i ditto 3 per Cents., -- ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 4 i per Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40/ ; ditto Deferred, 25g H ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto Passive, 51 6. The transactions reported it' the Railway Share 1, Market this morning were unimportant. Prices, however, in most instances, exhibited a further Blight decline. Great-Western and North-Western declined ss. ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, 1( Great Northern, North-Eastein, Berwick, and it North-Eastern, York, 10s. ; Lancashire and York- u Shire and South Eastern, ss. The other lines dealt in were at previous quotations. In the Poreign undertaking 4, Northern of Frarce un proved ss. The Colonial lines were flat. East Indian advanced about ss. to 108. ; and Grand Trunk of Canada, 10s. Mining shares were not dealt in, and prices are quite nominal. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been inactive, and but little variation can be quoted in values. National Discount Company and Gene ral Steam Navigation are a shade firmer.

STATE OF TRADE —MANCHESTER, September 25. — The comparative inactivity noticed on Tuesday is quite as marked this morning, arid, though prices are nomi nally unchanged, sellers are not demanding the extreme prices lately asked. Still many kinds of yarn and cloth are so low in stock, and the makers are so well supplied with orders for them, that there is great firm nese in 901110 cases, and this is to be expected. China Bliirtinau of 7ib. to Silb. weight are in some demand at full rates, and printed cottons are not likely to be cheaper with the present demand, their increased cost tot depending upon dearness of cotton alone, but the increased cost of indigo, cochineal, and other dye stuffs. .MINES —Mining business has been very active, though railways and the funds have been depressed, with little business doing. The great extension of the mining mar ket, the short supply of stock, and the numbers of buyers through the medium of the Stock Exchange, in addition to the reenter sources, render it difficult to get shares at times, and consequently prices advance rapidly lehen a good demand takes place. On looking back at the state of the market s'.x months ego, when the etariderd for copper ore was high (1501.) and copper mines in favour, we find that Bassett shares were 270 ; South Frances, 340 ; Alfred CAlle.l4, 23 y ; West Bassett, ;50 34 ; North Basset, 33. Then came the first fall in cop- OO per, creating alarm arnongs:, shareholders, increased 1 00 Week by week by the continued decline in the standard, 20 which fell in a tow weeks to 1291. We considered at 50 the tithe, and stated so, that the fall was temporary, j 20 and now we find it up again to 1491. 4e. But bow stand 25 many of the copper mines ? Basset stands at 220, or 20 60 less than before the wanclard dropped ; South Frances 100 240, or 100 L'es ; North Basset, 16, or 17 less ; West 10 Basset, 26, cr 7 less ; and other,. in proportion Many, 5 therefore, seem to think that these sh a res are worth g buying, even for the reduced rates of dividends, as they may again improve with copper. Shares in- good pro- 65 gressive copper mines are also receiving attention.— Er Alining Journal of this day. • 100 —,----- FOREIGN. 2O 7 Australian 10 all !.antwrp &Rotterdam 66 65 61 / 35 27 Brazilianlrap.(issue d 20 18 Ardennes ••• ••• 30 all Do.

(This Dizy.) GUILDHALL. AIROW BETWEEN THE PRESIDING ALDERMEN.—This being the usual day for disposing of cases in Petty See sion, Mr. Alderman Halo and Mr. Alderman Copeland took their seats on the bench this morning at the usual hour. Mr. Alderman C )peland took occasion to refer to the incorrect manner in which his remarks, in reference to app: ehending a man in Bride-!ane, on suspicion of betting, a few days ago, was reported in Ike Sun. He certainly thought at the time, and said that the police man, in apprehending the mad, searching him, and taking from him his pocket book, watch, and money, acted uejustifiab . y, and that the police would be better occupied by looking after the stag-, in Capel-court deal ing in stocks, and at the Baltic Coffee-house, where thon..ands of barre's of tallow were bought and sold without delivery, the difference only being handed over. What be wished to set right was that the report attributed to him that he stated tallow was sold in Capel Court, a statement (if uncontradicted) that betrayed great ignorance on his part of commercial transactions in the city of London. Ho thought it ra ther Lke a crusade against these men to apprehend thew, take their propel ty from them, and march them to the eiation-house like felons. He did not for a single mo- men t Mr. Alderman Hale—l thought your remarks at the time very improper, and with regard to the report iu the papers I thought it a very fair one. Mr. Alderman Copeland--I only want after having been connected for 40 years with commercial transac tions in the city of London to set myself right in a state ment I made here on a former occasion. Mr. Al lertnan think it would have been very unbecoming of me had I come in by accident when you were hearing a case to refer to earthenware. I never speculated in a cask of tallow in my life in that way. 11 I had alluded to cal tlit‘nwar— . Mr. Alderman Cep ,land.—lf you choose to take it to your:elt, you aro welcome. I only made the remarks in the course of my putlic duty. Mr. Aide: man Hale,—You were not called on to interfere in the ca=e in question. Mr. Alderman Copeland,—l shall always interfere when I think it necessary. I will not enter into any controversy with you bore, but I must repeat that, when I see a man taken up, unjustly treated as a felon, and hi,: property taken from him, I shah always interfere. Mr. Alderman I - tali—Well, I don't think it was be coming in you to interfere. Mr. Alderman Copeland—l am perfectly competent after 30 years to discharge the duties of my office. I shall go where I can meet with more courtesy than I have met with here. , , Mr. Alderman Halo---You are quite at liberty to do Co. Thy alderman then left, and Mr. Alderman Ilumphery had t ► he sent for to assist Mr. Alderman Hale in dis posing of the business. --6 i oi 7- - - ii 6 ... ii = aii 1 110 - 113 1117 - 122 105 - LOS 103 - 106 L 22 - 125 70 -- 72 di __ 116 10G - 108 100 - 102 60 - 62 10 - IW., 5i - 6 87 -8) 81 - 83 82 - 81 97 - 99 - 9i 16 - 16 trq - 16 . 09 - 71 18L; - 19 9 - 9i 13 - 14 135 - 139 112 - 114 ••• ... ---.7. ••• 1155 - 157 i - il 62 - 66 129 - 131 95 - 16 85 - 87 ilit = ii liiii ..= liii 90 - 92 - 4:1 22 - 23 110 - 112 100 - 105 .•, • • "''''' ••. ió 21i -22 A 98 -105 95 -- 100 14 - 16 2t3 - 274 li -24 p ••• - ••• 45 - 50 WESTMINSTER. CRUELTY TO A et - ann.—Two respectable-looking ' women who appeared much distressed and agitated entreated the magistrate's interference on behalf of a child they had with them, who had been much neglected and ill-treated. The applicants said they lcdged in the same house as the child, in Tuftoc-street, and as there was no land lady there they had considered it their duty in the exercise of common hutuanity to interfere. The child's father was dead and her mother had been married again to a man named Cannor, a stoker at the House of Lords. He was cootintrilly beating the child, who was in a vary filthy and neglected state, and beat her severely with a policeman's at: ap both last night and this tnoining. Mr. Paynter—Did you see the assault committed Applicants—No. We heard the child's screams which were very distressing. Mr. Paynter—What is her age Applicants—Only nine years. Mr. Paynter—Has she any marks! Applicants—Yes, Sir. She is beaten very severely. The chill, who exhibitel the appearance of gross neg lect, was placed befors the magistrate, and on her shoulders being bared, they exhibited considerable die colouration and contusioD. Mr. Paynter—Have you examined the lower part of her person Applicants—Yes, her legs andi thighs are covered with bruises. Mr, Paynter—Does the mother in no way interfere to prevent this ill-treatment of the child Applicants—Poor creatur,•, she cannot. All she can do is to cry. She is lying very bad on a sick-bed, and is perfectly helpless. The child has been so frequently treated that her senses are being beat out of her. Mr. Paynter—Do you know what was the reason assigned for beating her I Applicants—The reason this morning was, that when he came home to his breakfast the kettle did not boil— he appears to forget that this is but a mere child, and makes no allowance fur her tender age, which a father should do. Mr. Paynter immediately granted a summons against the father without payment of the accustomed fee. THAMES. SINGULAR OPPOSITION TO A CLAIM FOR SEA WAGES. —Mr. S.nith, master of the ship Sea Star, attended be fore Nlr.Selfe to answer a claim of a seaman named Scott for wages due to hitn for a voyage from Singapore to London at 31. a, month. Mr. Stocidart apys red for the complainant, and Mr. Smith for the defendant. . Mr. Stoddart having stated the case, The evidence of tho e•implainant was to the effect that he and some others of the crew signed articles to go to Shanghai, and that the vessel went to Singapore. The captain was not present when they signed the articles, and it was alleged by him, com plainant, that other places had been introduced in the articles which were not there when they were signed. At Shanghai seven of them asked for their discharge, which wei refused by the captain who said they should all go before the consul. They went there, when after an examination before hi m (tl6 consul), he, believing the articles were regular, had them all sent to prison. lie was there a month, at the e xpiration of which time he was sent on board with his hands handcuffed behind, and he remained in that position 18 hours. Some time after the captain promised him that if he would go to work again and behave himself like a man he would not deduct his wages from Singapore. Mr. Selfe said that the captain bad no right to keep a man in custody out of gaol. The agreement bttweea the captain and the complain ant from Singapore to London having been confirmed by a wituese, Mr. Smith put in a claim for expenses for the main teeance of the complainant while iu prison and for de duction of wages while there. Mr. Solfe said that the law did not allow the first claim, and that the captain said he would nut deduct wages if complainant behaved himself well from Singa pore. Defendant admitted there were now three in prison at Shanghai for the same offence at that of complainant. Complainant wai allowed 181. 9,. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(Thin Day.)

RESTORATION OF DROWNED PERSONS.—For the re- I storation of drowned pt rsons the method so strongly advocated by the late talented physician and physiolo gist, Dr. Marshal Hall, in ia method at once simple and efficacious. In the medico 1 profession this is known as "the ready method of Dr. Marshall Hall," and may not inaptly be regarded as his last legacy to the cause of suffering humanity. This. metbcd needs no apparatus ; all that is required being that the body of the drowned poison, be it wan, woman, or child, be Vexed upon its chest and abdomen, with the arms under its forehead, and then turned from side to side, as one would roll a winecask or beereask in 'process of cleansing ; but, of course, more slowly and gently, and continuing this rotary motion until full inflation of the lungs shall have taken place. Educated pore one acquainted with the prin- ' ciples of natural philosophy, and at the same time having any knowledge of the strricture of the bony and carti laginous chest in which ie contained the lungs, will at oixe perceive the reasons .on which is founded the advo cacy of this simple method for the recovery of persons : pidarently drowned. W . e cannot but think as well as hope that much human lift, will be saved when Dr. M. Halt's method shall become more extensively known sad adopted. 92 2 Si 97 t i 7 Si 90 8J 97 i 51 3i 96.

The subjoined circular memorandum has be addressed to general or other officers comman at foreign stations, and to civil governors of flies : Horse Guards, W.S., Sept. 12, 1857. Donbts having sometimes ar's-n between the gover nor of a colony holding the couiroi‘sion of Governor and Commander-in-Chief, and the officer commanding the troops, as to their relative authority an powers, it is to distinctly understood that the tale of Commander-in- Chief with which a civil governor of a c•llrny is invested, gives him no power or authority over the Queen's troops or the military chest ; but that it undoubtedly belongs to the governor of a colony to call out or organise any body or bodies of men whom, in the exercise of any general or special authority lawfully ve,ted in him, he tray judge it necessary or right to utnmon for the de fence of the colony against aggression, or for the preser vasion of public tranquillity. The officers who may be selected to command these bodies can only be commissioned by the Governor and Commander-in-Chief, in the name and in behalf cf the Queen. The clothing, arms, ratiene, and pay of the officers and men must be subject to such provision as may be made by the colony, in pursuance of any legislative enec'enent passed or to bo passed for this purpose. if the colonial treasury should be unable to meet such ex penditure recourse must be had to the military chest, and it is the duty of the officer commanding her Ma jesty's forces to authorise his warrant, upon the requisi tion of the governor, the issue of such advances as may be considered necessary for the purphees in question. If such local force, or any portion of it, becomes em bodied with the Queen's troops, either in envision'', bri gades, or detachments, the selection of officers for the command of snob a mixed force rests with the officer commanding the Queen's troops. As it is indispensably necessary that the governor of a co'ony should upon all occasions receire the earliest in telligence of the movements of the troops, a! d of every (recurrence which falls within their observation, it is the duty of the officer commanding any detac' e 1 force or post to send to the governor of the c l) y eirect copies of al reports which he may from time to time receive. In the event of active military operations teleing place in a colony, it exclusively belongs to th governor to state and explain to the officer commanding the troops the policy of her Majesty's Governmi nf, and the mili tary measures by which that policy is to be obtained ; but it rests with the officer commanding the troops of ne to direct the execution of those measures. Officers commanding at the several foreign stations will be pleased to give directlons that the above in structions be officially recorded at the elation's under their command, as contemplated at j acre 344 of the Queen's Regulations and Orders for the Army.—By command, W. F. FORSTER, Deputy-Adjutant-General. "TR PI TIMES" AND THE STN: STING 0' THE EMPERORS AT STUTTGARO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER. Sir,—An article appears in the Times of this morning, evidently written to order. This article refers to the proposed meeting of the despots Alexander and Napoleon at S . ti'tgard. The Timee gives the go-by to the real object of the meeting, and would fain make it appear,_ according to tha new light which it has recently obtained as to the views and character of Louis Napoleon, that the French Emperor has no other object than to secure the peace of Europe. I have just returned from Paris, and have heard the subject frequentlydiscussed, priVately, of course, among liberal Frenchmen ; and with your permis sion, I will give you their unanimous opinion of the objects of the proposed meeting. I shall trans late a conversation I bad with a distinguished member of the late National Assembly, as his sentiments were those of a'l the others with whom I conversed : _ _ " Louis Napoleon," said my friend, " detests your country and Englishmen, however much his policy may force him to pretend the contrary. Your free institutions and your great prosperity, resulting from those free institutions, are a stand ing censure upon his own Government, and the infamous means by which he obtained his present position. He perceives that as long as England maintains her liberty his own power is in peril ; for we all look to England as our model in self government, and are continually making compa risons betwixt your state and ours. At the pre sent time Louis Napoleon is obliged to court the English Alliance, for he knows that just Low a war with England would destroy him. He knows vvel that England has only to supply the malcontents in France with arms, and to lend the refugee Ge nerals and others the aid of your ships, in order to upset him, and this almost without striking a blow yourselves. He is now quite aware that he is detested by the great majority of the French people, at least by the great majority of the Parisians, and by every man of the slightest pre tension to education and liberality. " It is on this account that this accomplished hypocrite seeks the alliance of England at present, and professes the utmost attachment to your coun try, in the same way as he dc&ared, when President, his love for the Republic, and that he would be the niost dithonourable of men if he forgot his oath, and did anything to upset a form of GovernMent to which he owed everything. All these declarations were made to gain time. But, as soon as the pear was ripe ' he made his famous coup d'etat, and lauvhed to scorn his former professions. " Depend upon it he reserves a coup d'etat for you, and this meeting with the Emperor of Russia is a preparation for it. He orders his organs, French and English, to declare that his only ob ject is to propose a general disarmament among the armies of Europe. .This is all fudge. The large armamtnt in France is not kept up for the defence of our frontiers. It is kept up for the protection, against the people, of the Emperor, who knows well that if the immense garrison of Paris were dis banded, he would not remain a week on the throne. The real object of the interview betwixt the trio despots is the promotion of another Holy Alliance, which Austria and Prussia will afterwards be in vited to join. This alliance will hive for its object, by joint action, and by the mutual co-operation of each other's armies, to crush the least attempt on the part of the respective nations over which they rule to throw off the yoke of tyranny, or to obtain liberal institutions. When this alliance has been once formed and firmly consolidated, then gale a eons, Messieurs lcs Anglais. Our Emperor will then think himself sufficiently strong to throw off the rnarde and show himself in his true colours He will take advantage of your Indian disasters, and every other disaster, and dictate, or attempt to dictate to you, under the joint name of the affiance of despots. Ho will issue his orders to you, as he has already done to Belgium, to alter your laws with respect to the press and the asylum given in England to political refugees. Or otherwise he will threaten you with invasion. " I don't believe he will ever attempt to add England to France. This would be too dangerous, and he recollects the fall of his uncle. Ie will confine himself to the attempt to force you to alter your institutions, so as to be more in con formity with those he has octroyed to France. And your Queen and Prince Albert will be invited to lend their co-operation. Your Sovereign will be told by the alliance of despots—' We do not wish to unseat you, quite the contrary. We only wish to improve your position and your dignity, and to make your Government more in unison with ours.' And perhaps, as is natural, such a proposition may find a responsive chord in the breasts of your Queen, of Prince Albert, and of a great part of your aristocracy." Such, sir, is a free translation of what was said to me by my friend in Paris, whose name, of course, I cannot mention, as this would expose him to persecutim, perhaps to transportation to Guiana by the man of whom the Times has now become, the eulogist, but who, I can assure you, has the character of having been one of the most distin guished liberal and honest members of the last Republican Assembly. Reform Club, Sept. 25. J. A. MARKET NEWB.--(This Day.) THE HOLY W ELL-STREET SEIZURES. Yesterday being the day appointed for the hearing of the summonses, at the Bow-street Police-court, against the persons at whose houses the seizure of obscene books, papers, engravings, &c., were made on Tuesday last, Mr. Bodkin again attended for the Crown, and the whole of the property was produced by the police. Superintendent Durkin said he had cx amined the whole of these productions, and fiund the greater por tion of them to be obscene. A few did not appk ar to be positively obscene, and some were in scaled paskets, but . with inscriptions leading to the inference that the con tents were obscene. The first summons called was one against Win. Smith, of 52, Holywell-street, who did not appear, but was re presented by counsel, who .proposed to consent to the destruction of the articles. Mr. Bodkin observed that as it was possible that pro ceedings might be instituted against the defendant, and that some portions of the books, &c., might be required as evidence against him, no doubt he would be glad to have the evidence destroyed. Oa the part of the Crown be (Hr. Bodkin) could not consent to that, hut proposed the adjournment of the case till the Crown should decide whether further proceedings should be taken, and also that the magistrate should have time to perform the pain ful but inevitable task of examining these things. Mr. Jardine was afraid he should be compelled to do so, and as that would not be possible in the course of the sitting, he thought the adjournment was the only course. The defendant's counsel observed that there were two pictures in miniature cases among the articles seized. Ile understood that the gold mountings were worth 20e. and upwards, and he considered it was a question whether condemning the picture the magistrate was to condemn the gold in which it is mounted. Mr. Bodkin: When the things are being destroyed the police will deface the indecent pictures, and return r the cases and mountings to the defendant. After some further conversation, the case was ad journed. In the next case, that of Charles Paul, 2, Efolywell street, the defendant's colic for said : I have to ask your worship, with Mr. Bodkin's consent, to adjourn the case to the same date, and in the meantime to consider whether the articles come under the act. Mr..Boikin—Why, that is the very purpose of the adjournment. The Solicitor—l mean to say that that will be my objection. I shall not contend that they are not obscene. The case was accordingly adjourned. The case of Mary Wilson, of 40, Wycb-street, who did not appear to the summons, was a1. , 0 adjourned. In the case of James Thornhill, of 33, Holy well-street, Mr. Mitchell stated that there were a much smaller number of books, and those chiefly consiaecl of a book called " Aristotle's Masterpiece," in respect to which it might be questioned whether it was obscene. There were, however, some prints of undoubtedly obscene character. The same council appeared in this case, and said teat the books, &c., seized were not for sale, being part of the stock lsft by a previous tenant. In this case, and that of Smith, he undertook that no books of the kind should be soli, and invited the surveillance of the police. The two remaining cases, those of Mary Elliott, 14, Holyweil-street, and Reyes, 40, Wyoh-street, were adjourned to the same date. The Peninsular and Oriental Company have now in the Indian Seas a fleet of 25 steamers, of 32,128 tons burden, and 8,020 horse-power. ,SUICIDE. --Yesterday an inquest was hold at the White Swan Inn, Farringdon-street, on the body of Ann WDowall, aged 60. The deceased, who vae of intemperate habits, and had been drunk since Monday, purchased on Thursday twopennyworth of vitriol and swallowed it. She told an acquaintance what she bad done, and stated that the bad conduct of her husband had led her to it. This acquaintance stated at the inquest that she had never een the decsased's husband illuse her. Verdict, "Temporary insanity." SUICIDE WITH THE OIL OF VITRIOL. Yesterday afternoon, a determined act of sail-destruction was com mitted by a female named Jane E.oruley, aged 66 years, lately residing at No. 2, Neate-stre. t, Bettinal-greeu. road. It appeared that the deceased was the wife of a weaver, and for some weeks past she had lived on un happy terms with her husband. The deceased retired to rest, and subsequently attracted the attention of a lodger, who beard loud groans issuing from her apartment. The room was forcibly entered, when the deceased was disco• vered lyirg upon the floor, in a state of great suffering. A medical gentleman was called, who used the necessary means, but the deceased was found to have taken a small bottle of the oil of vitriol. The deemed was placed in a cab and conveyed to the Loudon Hospital. where the resident medical officer (Mr. Burch) applied the usual antidotes, but the deceased continued in a state of excruciating agony until about noon, when she died i from the mortal effects of the person. The body awaits an inquest before Mr. W. Baker, the coroner. LONDON OUT OF TOWN.—IS it really 7 One who went to the Crystal Palace last Saturday morning, and saw 19,000 persons in the midst of wonders of art, listening to such a concert for a shilling as would have gratified the most fastidious, or who had tried to take places for the • pera at her Majesty's Theatre that night, and couldn't get them ; or who saw the Surrey Music-hall on Sunday morning packed full of worshippers, or got mixed up with the stream of life that filled the New-road in the evening of that same day of rest—might reasonably doubt the assertion. Nevertheles , , it is true, compara tively speaking : Grosvenor-square, Belgravia, and Ty bureia are desolate, and some member or other of every household, Smith, Jones, and Robinson, has flitted, or far or near, to unbend for awhile, and get fresh air.— The Builder. EQUINOCTIAL HIGH TIDES.—On Thursday afternoon the water in the Thames rose to an unusual height, overflowing several wharves in the vicinities of Shad well, Dockheeel, and Rotherhithe, on the morning's. tide, with the wind at W.N.W. The water that had been forced into the estuary at the mouth of the Thames from the North Sea, rushed up the 'Names with the velocity of a " here." Pilots end ma=ters of fishing smacks who arrived on Thursday afternoon report the marshes on the Kent and Eisex sides of the river as having the appearance of vast inland lakes, the water having broken through the sluices. Much damage was occasioned by the overflowing of basements and ground floors in waterside premises, in some of which the water rose to the height of three feet ; fortunately, these are new moon spring-tides ; had the moon been full the destruction of property must have been considerable. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN TURKEY.—A correspondent has sent us a statement which tends to prove the good faith of the Turkish Government in carrying out the religious liberty guaranteed both to Christians and Ma hornedene. At Constantinople a Turk and his wife and child have been baptized by the American missionary, Dr. Hamelin, with the name of "Freeman." It appears that on the 3d inst. two officers of the Porte went to the office of Dr. Hamelin, after previous notice, to investigate the case of the Freeman family, converted Irene Mahomedanism to Christianity. Dr. Hamelin at first demurred, but a strict examination took place. The officers of the Porte examined Mr. Freeman. The object was to ascertein whether he bad been driven from Islamism to Christianity by any trouble or supposed wrongs, but the answers were deemed satisfac tory by the Turkish authorities. Mrs. Freeman was then subjected to the same ordeal, after which it was arranged that the Turkish lady and her daughter should have an interview together. The result convinced Dr. Hamelin that there was no compulsion in the case, and the ceremony was therefore performed. The account . adds, "It is the will of his Majesty our Seve re ire, that ly, and it has become the established law of shall e njo the empy entire every subject withou t any exception religious freedom. The Mussulman. is now as free to become a Christian as the Christian is freee to amelin hemine a Mussulman." T wo days previously D H mar ried a young Protestant Armenian to a Turkieh lady who had been baptised in Malta. COVENT GARDEN.

The Australian letters received yesterday by the mail steamer Columbian give, on the whole, a satis- • factory account of the markets both at Sydney and Melbourne. Although they presented little anima— titm they were not encumbered with the heavy !:! r, . stocks hitherto complained of. The escort receipts from the Victoria goldfields for the first half of the present year had been 4,417,8281. agait.st 5,435,9361. in the corresponding period of 1856, and the shipments 5,011,920!. against 6,352,2041. The resolution of the Government of Victoria to admit the Mint coinaga of New South Wales as a legal • tender would, it was thought, cause most of the English sovereigns circul,tion to be gradually sent back to this county. On the question of the ' marine insurance on gcods consigned to Australia the Melbourne Journal of Commerce has the fol.- lowing remarks -- " The far greater portion of the cargoes of the Lon• - don ships lately arrived have been extensively damaged, • - - and no doubt the London underwriters will be very averse to write particular average on Melbourne inset. rances, except at very exorbitant rates ; but the faul lies not with the merchants hale, who, it~ need scarcely be re-narked, however well im,ured, are nearly always in more respects than one losers by sea-damaged goods, . and we are sure that they would but too g l a dly b e parties to some sy,tem of supervi,den which would check the overloading of vesels at home, and from which cause.• - chiefly the damaged . state of the cargoes arises. Parties..., -- tarly of late, since so much railway iron and material is carried, all the cargoes arrive mere or less daMaged,- as the tremendous weight put in strains ,the yes.. • sels, and opens their seams, - and allows the water ; to cline through like a riddle. If the London brokers will not be more careful in filling ships up, par ties here will be obliged to give instructions for. bidding fine goods to coma in any vessel having railway plant and t'inber on board. The latter article we may remark is even more objectionable than ,iron, for if. shipped in wet weather it always steams and damages, flue goods through and through, without ,leaving•any:. traces of salt water on the outside package, and there:': - : is always much difficulty in getting LI iyd's agent to certify properly, and the underwriters tske hold of every:: possible advantage, it the certificate is not fully worded, - to dispute payment. While on this subject; we have to• call the attention of our readers to the instructions -Sent' lately by Lloyd's to their agent, which bind him not to authori A) a sale on underwriters' account of go As which are damaged by the labels btiug dis&gurtcl, or washed off by salt water ; and as it seems that fresh difficulaps are daily started by the London trndetwritEre,, _ iug claims, it would be as well if some combined- 'aotiag on the part of imparters here wore to put the WLble matter on some settled and satisfactory basik." FACTORY INSPECTORS' REPORTS. The reports of the factory inspectors for the half-. Sear ending 30th April last are•just issued as an Svo. blue-book. That of Mr. Ti. Horner is long. • In the half-year he says the reports of the sub-in specters mark by the letter R in at least four facto- , ries out of five ; and when that letter is omitted, _ in most cases the irregularities have not been of a •, serious nature. Still, he believes, over-working prevails to a great extent. Still less, he adds, does R mean thet all reaseneble precautions have been taken to prevent accidents from unfenced hori e zontal shafts and other machinery. Tue example if those who have taken precautions has been followed to a very limited ex!eut. Then follow tabu e lar statistics of accidents. Those from machinery , present a total of 905, of which, however, -554 are described as "lacerations, contusions, and other in juries," leaving only 351 more serious cases, of which only 12 proved fatal. Of these seven were caused by the bursting of a boiler, and three others by falling down hoist wells. Three appear to have been caused by machinery proper, as a raising-gig, the carriage of a self-acting mule, and a drum. - Much space is occupied in discussing the inutility f the fees paid to certifying surgeons for reporting 2 accidents, which has cost 8,8011. since 1844 ; and Mr. Horner firmly believes that in his district three fourths of that sum has been expended without any - good whatever. - If any person iu a factory makes a false step and sprains his ankle, so as to be unable . to work next morning, the accident must be re ported.. The millowuer, under the penalty of pro secution and fine, must report such accident ; and " the formidable numerical art ay of accidents Which the inspectors are bound to report every half-year 'gives a most exaggerated and false idea of danger from factory employment, and creates a mischievous prejudice in the public mind against it." Mr. Hor ner would still require all accidents from machinery to be reported. The report next shows how 20 • grants, in the aggregate amounting to 2051. ,(vary from Si. to 201. each), have been distributed to Fe l l° ols attended by factory children." The education clauses of the Factory Acts, tend what is called the half-time system, occupy 15 pages of the report. It has been confidently and . re peatedly stated that this long tried experiMent has proved a failure ' • but Mr. Hornet statestliat in his district (which has more factory children than any other), this statement is to a great degree . errone ous. 113 admits that a lark e proportion of the ithildren holding school certificates have received no in,truction of any value ; but for this -he says the legislature alone is to blame in passing a 'clolusive law, requiring factory children to be educate,d, but providing no more than that children should be for so many hours daily within the four wells of a place called a school, and that a - weekly certificate - co that effect should be given to the employer, signed by a person designated schoolnaatter or schoolmistress. Nut a word is said as to the nature or quality of the instruction—that of an infant school is deemed sufficient for the certificate. The result is overcrowded schools, incompetent teachers, ind, if not untaught, only half-taught children. Mr. Horner's remedy would be to multiply good - schools, and thereby extinguish mock schools. In April last he sent four queries, as to pupil teachers, to the masters of some of the best factory schools in his districts, and the replies, which occupy six pages, are interesting, and bear out his conclusions. Most of the pupil teachers had previOusly•been half hirers, and thus received the whole - ,of the instruc tion qualifying them to be teacherse They learn generally as quickly as those attending school the whole day, and some of them have gained Queen's scholarships, first-class certificates, and have been appointed tecond and even principal masters of good schools. Mr. J. A. Nicholls, in answering the queries as to the Britsh School, Great A.ncoats street, Manchester. adds : " I have no hesitation in stating my opinion that the factory short tim e system is the most favourable to the extension of education among the , childreu of he working claeses of any scheme yet devised ; and I am satisfied from my own experience • that the progress of the children, on account of the regu larity of their attendance, is as great, if it,does not exceed, the progress of those wire attend the whole day with the average regularity of national school children. I wish the system may be extended to every empleyment in which children are engaged. There is very often a differuity to find 'boys who might become cauciidates for the situation of pupil teachers, whose parents will, or, in fact, can afford to let them work a whole year without wages, which, after all, may not be paid should the boy be unsuccessful at his examination. Tnis is the great difficulty of the system ; and., therefore, I have had to get boys whose parents are beAer off,, and are able to maintain them through' all contingencies." Altogether the evidence is s•trongly in favour of the half-time system. Mr..Herner etteefrom a paper read beiore the Glasgow Philo ,ophieel :Society, iu March last, by Mr. G Anderson (partner in a large ilex factory there), the declaration tbat'"Vhe half tnee system established by the facteieracts, consi dered as an educational measure, is a complete failure." Mr. Horner ,shows . that Whilst in the whole of Lanarkehire, in 82 cotton, woollen, worsted, and flax factories there were only 23$ children, there were 308 in four cotton mills in Aslitein-undet-Lyne ; so that this county, and not the.neighbourhood of Glasgow, is the district for judging as to whether half-time is or is not a failure. In four months, of 1,104 factories inspected in this district, employ ing 21,534 children, only three millowners we o proceeded against for ne g lect ng t o have certificates of school attend ance. "Many millowners who now employ child' en have found out that they had been long needlessly subjecting themselves to inconve nience from these mistaken apprehensions, and bad deprived them selves of the advanta g e of having tra ined instead of untutored piercers of "13 years o f ag e." Mr. Herner next gives his reasons for objecting to Mr. Anderson's suggestion of au edu cational thisdistrict certificate theca hasd an been p a e gcrtaindguiaTl increase In some time in the number of half-U[llore. - , onee of the largest concerns, which employed no children under 13 till the close of 1849, now employing'. 224. " The principle of combi n i ng reg ular attendance at school with wages yielding employment is so valuable and important, that it would be wall if a careful inquiry were instituted to ascerta in under what modifica tions it could be applied to other employments be sides that in factories." In illustration„. Ir. ner gives in an por pendix a long statement, by Mr. S po tti s woode, Zile Queen's priuter, of - the system adopted in their establishment. i In. one ca se, near Oldb.at') seeing a blank certifi cate, of sch ool attendance for the foregone week, Horner asked some of the children thee - -eause of their absence, and the answer was " the master was drunk." Of course Mr. Horner declared that the certificates of this master will no longer - be valid. The report closes with a list of the places in which factories have been visited during the half-year. Sir John Trelawny, Lady Trelawny, and family, foe on a visit to Plymouth for a few days.
