- .1 N E Tim A p Tr 4.3 AND COMDIT2MOTAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were lolly supported. The sales were estimated at 7 ,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the rt es ex ers. The Railway Share Market closed with a 3 animated appearance, and prices have slightly declined. A:moderate demand has prevailed this week for b loat descriptions of Foreign and Colonial produce, !id steady prices have generally been realised. t'tlgarhas met with an active inquiry, and the quo- Minns have slightly tended upwards. Coffee has realised an advance of 6d. per cwt., tea is at full Lalues, and rice is dull, owing to the enh anced ems asked by the importers. Saltpetre is firmer l a Consequence of the news from India, cotton re blains steady, and tallow is at a slight decline. In 81l icen a fair number of purchases have bee n made, b ut no important variation can be announced. Although the decline in the value of stocks and 4 ,ares in the New York Money Market continued the latest date, the panic feeling which recently prevailed among the business community appears have subsided, and as no further failures had °e cnrred, it is expected. that affairs will I°oll assume a tranquil aspect. A further depressionaccommodation in value is not improbable , an d 43 count accommodation may remain dear, Ibu t no general mercantile distress is predicted. e collapse just experienced was not altogether 4 expected, the inflation in prices having been too 1, 4 1.

The North Star has brought v lOO ,OOO for Have and $50,000 for England, not -I'6th-standing the low rate of exchange. The Calcutta despatches enable U 3 toform a com ttrigon of the rates of exchange, with those received j h the previous mail. It will be observed by the 'uowing comparative table that the tendency both i India and China is decidedly favourable, but w u twithstanding this the shipments by the Ripon hteh leaves next Sunday will probably amount to g 0,900/. of which about half is intended for Ho n g ug and Shanghai. • d!

Withers, magistrates for the . county, at the Town-baA, Bas;ngst•ike, to answer to a °ominous charging him with throwing a stone at the five u'clock express train from Southampton.

Mr. Bent added that such :2tR were not of ur.frequent occurrence, and the company would spare no expen e in punishing their perpetrator. rd protecting their servants and the public..

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton and Mr. Baron Watson.) THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON. This morning Antonio de Salv;, aged 2f, was indicted for the wilful murder of Robert Henderson Robertson, in the Queen's Prison on the Bth of July last. It will be recollected that on the 21st of Aug. last the prisoner was found guilty of grievously wounding Mr. Robertson and sentenced to fifteen years penal st rvitude, the judge at the same time informing him that if the prosecutor died be would have to take his trial for murder. Unfortunately a very few hours after the trial Mr. Robertson expired and Salvi was charged with murder. Oa the part of the prisoner, a plea of autrefais acquit was put in, and the learned counsel contended that hie client could not he indicted on the charge of murder, as he had already been tried and convicted for the offence he had committed, and heti been sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude. Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the prosecution, as' ed the Court for time to meet the plea put in by the prisoner or demurrer. The learned judge thought it but reasonable that time should be allowed ills counsel for the Crown to meet the plea of auhefois acquit. After a short conversation it was decided that the trial should be postponed until the next session, and that it should be taken the first thing on Wednesday, the 28th of October. The Court also directed that a c.py of the demurrer should be transmitted to the pri soner a week before the day fired for the trial, in order that he might be prepared with his answer. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUGILSTREET. THE BURGLARY IN OXFORD-STREET. — Benjamin Stevens, James Connor, John Sharman, and Charles Pike, were placed at the bar before Mr. B,adoo, the former charged with burglariously entering the premises of Mr. Hammond, tailor, &c., No. 250, Oxford-street, and stealing property to a large amount, and the latter with receiving a portion of the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. Inspector Webb, C division, said that on the 5 , .1, inst., a man named Webb, was apprehended at hie residence in Dorset-street, and brought to this court on the charge of having received the proceeds of a burglary committ ed at Mr. flammond'e, in Oxford-street. 'fee prisoner was remanded till Saturday last, when he, wss com mitted for trial. Yesterday he was tried at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. About half-past six last night the wife of the convict Webb, in the presence of witness and the three first named prisoners, charged the prisoner Piko with having purchased the remainder of the stelen property of her husband at his house. She also alleged that the ther three prisoners committed the burglary. Witness therefore thought proper to detain the whole of the prisoners on the present charge. This m , ruing he had eot been able to eet the woman, as he had been told that she vcaz confined to her bed from the ill-tna.tnent she had received at the hands of the prisoners. He now wished for a summons to compel her to attend. The summons was at once granted, and the case ad journed. Sergeant Crocker informed the Court that ho had found no leas than 90 skeleton keys at Stevene's lodgings. WESTMINSTER. SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A Ban—William Gibson, a boy about 10 years of age, apprentice to an upholsterer, was charged with committing a very savage and serious assault upon George Nash, a youth two or three years his senior. 1 Complainant had his head bandaged up. and bad evident y come from the hospital. He stated that he resided at 2, Denham-t;trrace, Chelsea, and was sitting at the end of that place last night talking to some other lads when the prisoner came up. and, in allusion to complainant's infirmity of sight, called him A very offensive name, which be repeated. Complainant went to strike him when the accused threw a stone at him which bit him on the arm, and then bit him on the leg, after which he struck him with another stone on the head and wounded him. Mr. Paynter—Had you given him any provocation Complainant—Not the least that I am aware of. Mr. Paynter—What do you think Mimed him to attack you! Complainant—l think he must have considered what I said in speaking to my companions was meant for him, which it was' not. A witness having confirmed the complainant's state , merit . , James Sutton, 162 B, said he found the complainant bleeding copiously from a scalp wound, and conveyed him to the hospital. Mr. Paynter —ls there any danger ! Constable (producing a certificate describing the nature of the injury)—The doctor says, that although the wound in itself is not dangerous, erysepilas may styervoae.

He attributed as portion of the virulence to muni cipal contests in the town. There was no opposition to street preaching before the July riots. Since then he bad heard of the formation of a gun club, which, from the smallness of the subscription, he should say belonged to the humbler classes. After Mr. Tracy, • Mr. Lindsay, bead constable of local police, was ex amined. THE APPLICATION OF STEAM POWER TO TEE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. The term perfection, as applied to mechanical inven tions must always:be a changeable and evanescent one in an age of progressive improvements, such as the present. The mechanical contrivances which by their apparent in genuity and utility excite our admiration to the utmost one day, may on the next be superseded, and looked upon as out of date, until finally they are only regarded as the distant landmarks which trace out the r, ad along which improvement has advanced. As a result of the spirit of emulation which animates the whole human race, that which was wonderful yesterday becomes by comparison common place to-day, and the subject of ridi mile to-morrow. The electric telegraph forms no excep tion t I the general rule. At the time of its invention, the wonderful facilities of instantanceus communication which it gave were quite unequalled and perfectly beyond the reach of improvement. Nevertheless this wonderfuk, piece of perfection has undergone several modifications during the brief period of its rxi,tence, each of which hair added something to its simplicity and. utility, and yet in the end it is but a very imperEct instrument after all. Those who are accustomed to read and hear of fabulous thousands of miles being signalled through in the space of a second will find it difficult to realise the fact that the chief objection to the electric telegraph as at present constructed is the slowness of its operation. Yet such is nevertheless the case.. The electric current will, it is true, circulate through a long length of wire in a second, and thereby register one signal; but it is no less true that ',try few of these signals can be formed and transmitted with the present arrangement in a geed many minutes. It is therefore at the signalling stage of the transmission that the delay occurs. Various expedients have been devised to overcome the difficulty, which is purely a me chanical one, but hitherto without success. Magneto electric and recording telegraphs have successively been triedin vain, for though decided imerovernents on the old needle instruments, they offered no effectual remedy to the great evil—slowness. Toe present tardiness of the eigealling is one of the chief reasons of the high prices which are charged for the transtnie,ion of a compara tively few words. It of course becomes a mere matter of calcul ►tion to the telegraph companies. If a certain number of words occupy an equal number of minutes in sending, it must be clear that the limit of words which can possibly be sent in the course of the twenty-four hours are very soon reached, and therefore to secure an adequate return for their expenditure cf capital the com panies are obliged to charge a comparatively large sum fur each word. It is also frequeutly found necessary, where there is a great deal of telegraph business for com panies to lay down tv►o, and in some cases three sepa►ate lines to ecable them to transmit - all the Iniaieages en trusted to their care. Thus the public are obliged to pay interest on double and treble the capital that Would be necessary it really rapid - and effsmive instruments were in use. Such an instrument has, however, recently been in vented by Mr. 'sham Beggs, a gentleman whose name has been for some time most intimately connected with the progress of electrical science, which for its ingenuity and real utility may be c:assed among the greatest in ventions of modern times. B 7 means of this contrivance, the whole of the difficulties which beset the present sys tem of tel graphing are removed, and a very great number of signals transmitted throunda a singls wire in an aleno4 incredibly short space of time. The chief novelty in Mr. Bagge's invention is the substitution of steam power for the ordinary manual labour in the sending of the signals, by which of course ,a very great savieg of both time an I expense is elf cted. The manner of registering the signals at the end of the current is a'so both novel and efficacious, and inteimstine, alike as an ingenious adapta tion of a scientific principle, and as a means of utilising a power which has never before been usefelly employed. To describe minutely the modes operandi of the machine would necessitate long detcsiptions of technical dstai's equally interesting and unintelligible to those not thoroughly conver. aet with electrical science Therefore, it is merely intended in this notice to give a general de scription of the inechanlcal contrivances, arid to pass ove r briefly the theoretical reasons for the effects prole:cad. In order thoroughly to make the improvements which have been effected manifest, it wII be necessary to give aome sliest description of the method of telegraphing at present iu vogue. Tho signals are sent, by making a cer- fain number of successive communications between the poles of a voltaic battery, and a wire included in its cis cuit. Tune, by varying the succession and direction of diecannection, needles and papers are variously deflected and marked at the end of the circuit. These connections are made by means of a handle, of course slowly turned by the hand of a clerk, who occupies the wire the whole time that the message is being transmitted. In substitution of this method Mr. Beggs proposes to have a series of gutta percha bands rolled round appro priate wheels. In the series of' holes with which the bands are studded the clerks insert braes pins, variously combining them in t wo., threes, &c., according to the letters to be sent, and thus, at it were, "set up" the message in type. Any number of clerks, according to the number of gutta percha bands, may be at work at once, tota ly irrespective of the wire, which is all the time open for other purposes. The gutty percha bands when full of signals'are passed rapidly by means of steam machinery between the charged electrical pales of the instrument, in such a manner that, as each pin passes, it farms a metallic communication between the instru ment and the wire, and a signal is consequently trans mitted. Thera is hardly any limit te the rapidity at which the signal bands can be passed through the instrument, as, in consequence of the almost instan taneous nature of cleotrieity—each pin only forming electrical contact fir the 100i1 part of a second—it will be amply sufficient to register a' coriesponehog signal at the other end of the circuit. Taus many pages of letter pro's by. A division of labour and an ade quate number of bands, be get up in half ao hour, and then transmitted from one end of toe earth to the other in fees resinutee, one wire being used all the time. It is impenible t ovetuate the advantagee of this invention, when we coes:der that electrical communisation is now no longer as it were a luxury, but has become by long use a nice nary part of our system. Telegraphing, there is no doubt, will in futnro became, with the increased facilities of this invention, almost as common, and con sequently nearly as cheap, as postal communfcation. The importance of this instrument fair a Transatlantic telegradh may at once he seen b y those who know the difficubies which were experie nce d by the Atlantic Tele graph Company in transmitting the signals through the cable with I ifficient rapidity, althoueh the most expen• sive contrivances in the way of po.verful battelies were used to obviate them. It is generally admitted that even had the cable been successfully laid down it would with these instruments rave been impusAble to seed more than SO or 40 Mess ages per diem each way ; and it was therefore contempla te d t o l a y down a send cable at the cost of several hundred thousand er iunds to en- Able the company to undertake the transmiss ion of even one-half of the messages with which they would, at the lowest computation, have been entrusted. The steam telegraph, however, has overcome at least that ditiicul'y which stool in the way Of the accomplishment of one of the greatest undertakings of modern times. Supposing a single wile to have been laid down between England and America, it would be perfee ly possible to txcliange daily between the two countries the principal contents of the morning papers, and that two with very little tifficulty or ex pens°.

The advantages esostessed by static electricity as a Co nrenn ice` ing medium in place of voltaic electricity, consist chiefly in the cheapness of its pro duction, and its high intensity, whioh renders it cap ionsetrhceomLg,munications, obstscles in the shape of slight which would en tirely interrupt an ordinary current of voltaic elec. tricity. The necessity of agumeuting the intensity of electric currents for telegraphing has lately been con sidered of great importance by electrical engineers , and cap able detectsof for this purpose " inducion coils" have been very ex tensively employed of late. The method of suis,plyieg the static electricity is novel, and at t he same tin s simple. It requires no introduction of an electrcatuag netic coil at the end of the circuit to enable itsto register the signal on the paper, the mere force of the electric discharge being sufficient to pierce the paper. To dis tinguish the difference of the position of the signals through the pins are the left hand holes charges of negative electricty are sent, whle positive electricity is sent through those on the, righ', though both charges pass through the one wire by a peculiar arrangement, of the apparatus, the diff root species of electricity are made to pierce the paper in different directions.

The invention, which is only just perfected, will, no doubt, when it is fairly brought before the pub ie., entirely supersede the present system of telegra phic communication, A company is, we believe, at the present time in process of formation for carrying out the invention on an ex ensive scale. The evident ad vantages which it possesses over all the electric tele graphs hitherto used will undoubtedly ensure it entire success as a commercial speculation.

The learned coctor then proceeded to say that the ac complishment of this desire had been hitherto frus trated by the intervention of various warlike tribes, who opposed by every means their exit from the centre of the country to the se I. Some time ago, after the pa'h was opened, the central natives were much delighted to reach the F el, which they had been told formed the limit of the world. They said they had travell d with their father un til the world said to them, "I am done ; there is no mote of me ; thee is only sea in front." (Laughter.) Although, on retiring from that ex= pedii ion from the centre to the sea, I came without any goods, the natives received me with great kindness and courtesy, for they felt tha , , though I brofight them nothing, yet I had conferred on them a great favour by dis covering the path. As to the cotton, th pro ' ducAl it merely to supply their wants, and they hal no artificial. wants. Commerce shows to us that we are dependent upon others • but with the heathens there is no such thing. They like to be independent of everybody else, and they like to de press others. I believe that the restriction upon trade in our own country was but a remnant of hew henism, but it has now been happily removed. (Laughter and cheers.) I should like to state that the Portuguese Government trea'ed me with the greatest kindness, and I shall ever remember their kindness with gratitude. When I arrived among them from the centre of Africa, on my way wee, I was nearly naked, but they c . 'otlied me, and I re ceived equal kindness on the east side. This might. be in part due to some despatches which Lord Cla rendon hail sent, but I believe it was in great mea sure dictated by their own kindly feelings. Now, several parties have asked me to form commercial companies, but I have always declined to do so. (Hear.) I have always said that at present the forming of companies would be premature, and that the thing must be begun in a small way. The Por tuguese are on the outskirts of the country on both sides, and I think it would only end in go d feeling if we consulted with them, and invited their co operation. (Hear.), There can be no doubt that they would derive the greatest benefit by the ex teesion- of commerce with Africa ; but they have been for ages on the outskirts, and unable to de velope the resources of the interior. Indeed Ido not think they know them, or they would not be sending to Mozambique, a distance of 900 miles, for that which they could get by travelling 100. Most of the houses of the Portuguese settlers are composed of stone and mud, and in a few instances the verandahs are supported with lime. When I came down the Zambese I found three varieties of ma ble—one pink colour, another white, and the third a dirty yellow. Had the Portuguese known there was lime within 100 milts of them, certainly they would not have travelled 900 miles for it ; per haps the reason for not having made this and other discoveries was be e),tise of the tribes to which I have referred to being in the way, and indeed I do not bel eve that they would have allowed a s'ranger to pass through them as I did but for the circun stAnce of the chief, Sibiquana, having opened up the way for me. And now that we feel a want of co..ton, and now that a new field has been opened up, 1 look upon it as quite a Providential develop ment, and we ought to di.ect our commerce so as to influence in its course those great evils which exist among our friends across the Atlantic. There is no difficulty in the way of religion among the African tribes. Those of the north are more reli gious than those of the south, but we have no Mahomedanism. I saw it stated in a newspaper that we could not have any intercourse with the people of the East becansa of their Mahomedanism. Now, it does not prevail at all, and we have not a vestige of the Christian religion at all. The only thing like a veitige—shall I say of the Christian religion ?—is the manner in which the ladies adorn their heads, so that their hair is like the glory round the head of the Virgin. We found a number of slaves building boats, who call themselves Mahomedans on Saturday and Chris tians on Sunday, so that they have two Sundays in th 3 week. (Laughter.) This arrangement is because they 'want two dayi' play. Perhaps the working men of Glasgow may improve upon this lint. In con flui•iJn, now that I see so great interest taken in this country, not only by a solitary individual in Manchester, but by Glasgow and Manchester, these two powerful commercial cities, I have the greatest hope. Still, I look up to Providence and pray that this great attention directed to Africa may lead to the commercial and spiritual elevation of countless thousan is of its inhabitants. I have again to thank you heartly for the honour you have done me in coming to see this presentation, and I have to thank the Lord Pi ovost, magistrates, and town coun cil with all my heart for voting me this testimonial of their appreciation. I shall always remember it with the utmost gratitu le, (The rev. gentleman sat down amid immense applause ) Mr•. W. BUCHANAN, M.P., said be had to re quest that the meo ing would join with him in ex tires ing thanks to the Lord Provost and magistrates for giving them an opportunity of hearing Dr. Livingston. (Cheers.) He was sure they all agreed in the sentiments so well expre Bed by the Lord Provost. It was a fitting occasion for the corpora tion to came for ward and testify the admiration which not only they themselves, but all the mem bers of thi community felt in reference to the ex ertions of Dr. Livingston in the cause of civilization and of Christianity. (Cheers.) The Loi) PROVOST briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the immense assemblage separated. On the same evening another splendid assem blage m°_•t in the City Ha' l, the Lord Provost i❑ the chair, when Dr. Livingston was presented with a pecuniary testimonial, amounting to 2,oool.—the result of a subscription raistd by the citizens of Glasgow.

ROBBING A Cnuaca.—A boy named Coudert, living • wi.h his parents at Langeac, in the HaOte-Loire, was 7 years ago caught in the act of taking money from ths, poor-hf , x of the church ; but as lie was only 7 years of a ge, he was not prosecuted. Oa the 26th of May last it was found that in the night a hell had been formed. partly by burning, partly by cutting in the bottom of the poor-box, and that the money it contained had been taken away ; and it appeared the thief had secreted him self in the church on the precious evening and been locked in, that he had taken some wax-candles from the vestry, had ignited them at the lamp which is always kept burning before the altar, and had then employed them to burn the hole in the hex, which hole he bad en larged with a knife. Young Coudert was immediately suspected, and it turned out that he hal disappeared from his parents' house. He was sought after, aid was caught at some ilistance from the village on the road to Puy. His trousers were spotted with drys of wax which fad evi dently fallen from a candle, and he had in his pocket 95c., which were stained a itb smoke.
