MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were rather dearer. The sales were 5,000 bales, about 700 of which were taken for speculation. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets continues very dull, and the purchases are chiefly confined to immediate requirements. There seems to be an impression that the Bank will be compelled to carry the rate of discount still higher, in order to prevent, if possible, the export of specie to America and the Continent. Besides this, there is a general indisposition to press sales at the present depreciated prices, and trade in all departments has not been so dull as at the present moment for a long time past. Most of the quota tions of the leading articles of consumption are lower, and the quantity announced for public sale is rather limited. In the textile raanufactu ring districts operations have been greatly curtailed, and a large proportion of the mills are reduced to the "short time" . system. The satisfactory harvest, however, and the full employment found for the operative classes, until lately, will render this curtailment less distressing than might otherwise have been antici pated. The extraordinary high point to which money has been forced, would in itself be sufficient to repress trade, but there are other obstacles, such as the dullness of Foreign Markets, the dearness of the raw materials, and the failures to be contended against. Under these circumstances, therefore, it is satisfactory to find that our mercantile relations are preserved in such a sound and healthy state. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign StOoks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi can, 191 g ; Peruvian 4/ per Cents., 75 77 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 51 53 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 4 4 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 105 107 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 96 98 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40i ; ditto New Deferred, 251 A. further sum of about 40,0001. was taken from the Bankof England yesterday, and these continued withdrawals are producing much uneasiness. Large quantities of silver are coming from the continent, and the greater part of the supplies obtained from the Bank are being sent there in payment. Silver is quiet, as usual, immediately after the dispatch of the bi-monthly mail, but it is thought that the future remittances will also be on a large scale. The inquiry for money in Lombard-street is very active, and full rates are willingly paid for accom- Inodation. Active preparations are being made for to-morrow, the 4th of the month, when a very heavy a moun t of commercial paper will have to be liquidated. The supply of capital, however, is abundant, as the terms offered for deposits still attract an immense quantity of surplus means. On the Stock Exchange this morning there was not much animation, and up to this hour no Operations of magnitude have taken place. The quotations, have, however, been heavy, and they are now per cent. below what they closed at on Saturday. Console for money have been dealt in at 90 to 90k, 89k, 90, and 89 1. For the 10th inst. they have been 89k, 90k, and 891 Z. The present values are 89a ; and for December the price is 90 to 901. The New 3 per Cents, are 881 89i ; the Reduced, 88l 89 ; India Bonds, 475. to 425. discount ; Exchequer Bills, 15e. to 108. discount ; and the Bonds, 97i I. The Foreign Market is tolerably active, and there is not much alteration in prices to record. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 88i t, they are now 874 88. The 4 per Cents. are 98 to 98/, Sardinian 89k, Spanish 3 per Cents. 40k, and Chilian 103. The transactions in the Railway Share Market this morning were numerous but prices in most instances exhibited a decline upon previous current rates. Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, -Brighton, North Western, North Eastern, (Renwick), and South Eastern, declined 10s., and Great Western, and North Eastern (York), 1/. Chester and Holyhead, and South Westerns, im proved 55., and Eastern Counties, 7s. 6d. to lOs. The' Foreign and - Colonial lines are also de pressed. Sambre and Me use,Northem of France, and Antirerp and Rotterdam are at a slight reduc tion. In the colonial lines, Grand Trunk of Ca nada receded 11., Great Western of Canada, 10,., and East Indian lOs. Joint Stock Bank Shares are steady. Bank of Australasia and Union of Australia, however, de clined about 10s. In the Miscellaneous shares there is little varia tion to report. South Australian Land improved ss.

Cooke having terminated on Saturday, the regular win ter season of the Adelphi commenced last night. Accord ing to immemorial custom it was inaugurated by the re vival of " Green Bushes," and the reappearance of Madame Celeste, after an absence of several weeks, in the character of Miami. The house was attended by a numerous audience, and the directress, who has sustained its fortunes for so many years, was received with every demonstration of hearty welcome. The speedy re appearance of Mr. B. Webster is promised, and the announcement of a romantic drama and a drama of " powerful interest" shows that the old Adelphi ener gie., are alive in their wonted direction. MIIIIDEA AT WOOLTON.—LIVIRPOOL, Monday.— Yesterday, at noon, an eld woman who resided at Woolton was murdered by her daughter's husband, but the circumstances attending the crime leave little doubt of the prisoner's insanity. He deprived her of life by strangling her with his hands ; and being found in the act, he said, "It is the will of God." He is now in custody." Letters from Glasgow, referring to the position of the Western Bank of Scotland, assert that there is now every prospect of the business being retain 3d and con ducted with regularity. Strenuous efforts were never- theless at one p er i o d r equired to prevent a collapse—a run having commenced on the numerous branches which 1 it was found difficult immediately to arrest. The di 1 rectors have at last paced themselves in a situation to cope with the embarrassments caused through the ad vances to Messrs. Macdonald, Messrs. Monteith, and others, whose liabilities have considerably exceeded the amount originally estimated. The late manager is al- , stated to be a heavy debtor on his personal account to ,( the bank. CURIOUS JOURNEY OF BEES.— A. few days since Mr. 2ILA i J. Ilarrious brought in a conveyance two hive" of bees 5 1 wrapped in sheets from Boston Bark to Crowle, a dig- 21 tance of eight miles. When they had been removed 2 from the sheets the bees walked out of their habitations 21 one by one, and after taking a slight airing returned in !0 the same manner, without doing the slightest damage. 1 The following day the hives were again placed in thr sheets, and conveyed with their inmates a distancl of more than 10 miles, which is considered a great feat at this season of the year, when the insects have their winter provisions in store,—Stamford and Lincoln , 1( Mercury.

The 68th Regiment, quartered at Portsmouth, and the 69th, will be the next regiments sent to India. The 68th will be presented with new colours on the sth on Southsea-common, weather permit ting. The Diadem, 32, screw corvette, Capt. Mooreom, is to be submitted to a new series of mechanical experiments, with the view of developing her steam power, her speed being at present very unsatisfac tory. An order was yesterday received at Chatham from the War-office, by the officer commanding the 3d battalion, directing the reinforcements for the 60th Rifles to be held in readings; to embark for Madras, for the purpose of joining the head-quar tera of their corps. The officers ordered to proceed to India in charge of the reinforcements are Ensign W. L. K. Ogilvy and Ensign H. St. George Burton, 3d Battalion 60th Rifles. Yesterday an inspection of the whole of the troops belonging to the several Indian depots at Chatham took place, with the view of returns being made to the War-office of the number of non-commissioned officers and men fit for service in India. The troops belonging to the West India regiments who are now attached to the 2d Battalion at Chat ham have been directed to proceed to Southampton, where they will embark to join the head-quarters of their respective regiments in the West Indies. About 50 young men have recently joined the head-quarters of the Royal Engineers at Bromp ton-barrack. the whole of whom are skilled arti sans, and will prove a valuable addition to that branch of the service. On inquiry at the Admiralty, War Department, and othzr offices, it has been ascertained that no accounts of damage to the Hydaspes have been re ceived, and there is reason to believe that no foun dation exists for the report respecting this ship which appeared in a morning paper yesterday. The Spartan, 20, Capt. Sir Win. Hosts, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, has been in com mission five years and a-half, during which time she has seen much service. She left England in July, 1852, and arrived at Rangoon during the war in Burmah, January, 1853. Thence she pro ceeded to Hong Kong, Sir W. Hosts having been appointed senior officer on the coast of China ; she remained until August of that year, and.while there her boats were constantly employed in the suppres sion of piracy. In August she was sent as senior officer's ship to Shanghai, that place being at the time in possession of the rebels. Her officers and crew were landed and performed garrison duty for the protection of the foreign settlements for six months. She was - docked at Whampoa in Feb., 1854, and then proceeded to Singapore, returning to Hong Kong in May, when Sir Wm. Hoste was again appointed senior officer in China. During the summer her boats were constantlyand most success fully employed in the destruction of pirates. Her Senior Lieutenant Pallisser was promoted for his conduct in a gallant affair against a large piratical force in the island of Tylo. In January, 1855, she proceeded as senior officers' ship to the Canton river, and during the disturbances between the Imperial Government was of much service in the protection of British interests. In March she was despatched to cruise off the Kurile Islands, and remained there and in the Sea of Okhotsk, the Gulf of Tartary, and the coast of Eastern Siberia until the end of October. She then returned to Hong Kong, visiting on her way down the prin cipal ports of Japan. In November, 1855, she left Singapore, her gallant captain haying been again appointed senior in the straits of Malacca. The Spartan was actively employed cruising in the straits and on the coast of Borneo for the pro tection of British interests and the suppression of piracy until July last, when she left for England. Her crew have been comparatively healthy, con sidering her lengthened service in the Indian seas During her commission she has sailed upwards of 70,000 miles, and brings forward 47 invalids from the squadrons in China and on the coast of Africa, of whom five died on the passage. A couple of Trotman s patent wrought-iron anchors forged at Liverpool, have been received at Woolwich, weighing nearly seven tons cash, and one was yesterday subjected to a trial-proof under the ordinary testing apparatus in the dockyard. The proof commenced with a pressure of 20 tons, and the committee of naval authorities who wore present to verify , the proceedings resolved to apply a graduated strain up to 100 tons. No indication of weakness was observable until the pressure amounted to 94 tons, but then the scarf of the crown gave way with a sudden crack, which on ex amination was found to proceed from a separation of the welded iron immediately beneath the pivot on which the crown of the anchor works to and fro. The committee attributed the failure to imperfect workmanship alone. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Commanders—Thomas Davies, G.W. Towsey, James Bull, T. L. Gausses, and W. Mould to the Coast Guard. Lieutenant—Louie de la Chevoia to the Recruit. Mates—FrancisDurrant to the Spitfire; E. P. Pocock and W. R. Kerr to the Persian ; Frederick H. Blair to the Heron. _ . --- Midshipman—F. C. Hastings Dent to the Valorous. THE MILITIA. Yesterday the Tower Hamlets (King's Own) Regiment of Militia assembled at Hackney for em bodiment. This regiment is noarly 600 strong, and there were few absentees at roll-call. It is stated that the officers and men have volunteered for ser vice in any part of her Majesty's dominions. The 2d West York Light Infantry, under the command of Col. Smyth, M.P., are to assemble at York on the 9th inst. for embodiment. THE REPORTED LOSS 01? THB 11YDASPES STEAMER. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY. Rumours having been industriously circulated, both in London and this port, and given great pro minence to in two morning journals of to-day, of the loss of the screw steamship Hydaspes, on her way to India with troops, every inquiry has been made to ascertain whether they h ave any f o undation in fact, but nothing can be discovered to give the rumours in question the slightest confirmation. The agents of the company to which the Hydaspes belongs, Messr..Croskey and C o ., h ave se t an inquiry on foot and believe the story to be entirely groundless. It was stated that the intelligence was received by the Admiralty last night, but we understand that no such report has reached that body. The Hydaspes left England on the 19th ult., and not on the 27th, as stated in one of the papers referred to. Her safe arrival at St. Vincent's h as b een r eported. Subjoined is the latest communication received from the com mander of the Hydaspes, with an extract from her log, from which it will be seen that everything was proceeding satisfactorily up to the time the vessel was last heard of : " Steamship Hydaspes, St. Vincent's, Oct. 1. " Gentlemen, —I arrived here yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, after a very excellent ran from Gravesend (10 days 22 hours), 2,569 miles ; average per hour 9.81 miles. Weather generally fine. The soldiers are all in high spirits, and appear highly pleased with their food and quarters. lam sorry to say our coaling is not going on so quickly as I could wi .h ; it is caused from want of lighters. However, when the Me iway leaves we shall get on much better, so that I hope to finish by tomor row at noon. . • The commanding officer, Col. Riddell, is a very nice man, and all the others equally so, They are the best disciplined troops I have ever been on board ship with.

THE GOOD OLD TOWN, ITS GOOD OLD INN, AND THE MAN HANGED AT LA. &CASTER 100 YEARS AGO. The reader is perhaps aware that Mr, Charles Dickens and his friend Mr. Wilkie, Collins, have lately visited Lancaster, and durir.ig their sojourn, stopped at Mr. Sly's, King's Arms Hotel. In the Oct. number of Household Words, under the title of "The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices," Mr. Dickens presents his readers with a remarkable story of a Bridal Chamber, from whence the follow ing extracts are taken : r‘ I have heard that t'aere is a good old inn at Lancaster, established in a good old house ; an inn where they give you bride-cake every day after din ner, said Thomas Idle. Le t us eat bride-cake without the trouble of being married, or of knowing anybody in that ridiculous itilemma.' Mr. Good child, with a lover's sigh, assented. They departed from the station in a violent hurry (for which, it is unnecessary to observe, there is not the least occa sion), and were delivered at the fine old house at Lancaster on the same night. Mr. Goodchild con cedes Lancaster to be a pleasant place, a place dropped in the midst of a charming landscape, a place with a fine ancient fragment of a castle, a place of lovely walks, a place possessing staid old houses, richly fitted with old Honduras mahogany, which has grown so dark with time, that it seems to have got something of a mirror-quality in itself, and to show the visitor, in the depths of its grain, through all its polish, the hue of the wretched slaves who groaned long ago under old Lancaster merchants. And Mr. Goodchild adds that the stones of Lan caster do sometimes whisper, even yet, of rich men passed away—upon whose prosperity some of these old doorways frowned sullen in the brightest wea ther—that their slave-gains turned to curses, as Arabian Wizard's money turned to leaves, and that no good ever came of it, even unto the third and fourth generations, until it was wasted and gone. It was a gallant sight to behold the Sunday procession of the Lancaster elders to church—all in black, and looking fearfully like a funeral without the body—under the escort of three Beadles. ' Think, said Francis as he stood at the inn window admiring, of being taken to the sacred edifice by three beadles I I have, in my early time, been taken out of it by one beadle ; but, to be taken into it by three, 0 Thomas, is a distinction I shall never en joy 1" He visits the Lunatic Asylum on the moor, for example, and says of it that it is "an immense place, admirable offices, very good arrangements, very good attendants ; altogether a remarkable place," which, without the help of any imaginary aid at all, tells in a few words the truth of one of the best conducted establishments in the kingdom. The two apprentices meet together in the good old inn—and then we are led away into the strange story which the author has contrived to weave out of a two days' residence at the house of our enterprising neighbour Mr. bly. Mr. Goodchild, one of the ap prentices, has just finished a brief description of an incident that fell under his observation at the asylum, and the tale thus proceeds : Mr. Idle diverting the conversation to grouse, custards, and bride cake, Mr. Goodchild followed in the same direction. The bride-cake was as bilious and indigestible as if a real Bride had cut it, and the dinner it completed w:►s an admirable per formance. The house was a genuine old house of a very quaint description, teeming with old carvings, and beams, and panels, and having an excellent old staircase, with a gallery or upper staircase, cut off from it by a curious fence-work of old oak, or of the old Honduras mahogany wood. It was, and is, and will be, for many a long year to come, a remarkably picturesque house ; and a certain grave mystery lurking in the depth of old mahogany panels, as if they were so many pools of dark water—such, indeed, as they had been much among when they were trees—gave it a very mysterious character after nightfall. When Mr. Goodchild and Mr. Idle had first alighted at the door, and stepped into the sombre, handsome old hall, they had been received by half a-dozen noiseless old men in black, all dressed ex actly alike, who glided up the stairs with the obliging landlord and waiter—but without appear ing to get into their way, or to mind whether they did or no—and who had filed off to the right and left on the old staircase, as the guests entered their sitting-room. It was then broad, bright day. But, Mr. Goodchild had said, when their door was shut, " Who on earth are those old melt I" And after wards, both on going out and coming in, he had noticed that there were no old men to be seen. Neither had the old men, or any one of the old men re-appeared since. The two friends had passed a night in the house, but had seen nothing more of the old men. Mr. Goodchild, in rambling about it, had looked along passages, and glanced in at door ways, but had encountered no old men ; neither did it appear that any old men were, by any member of the establishment, missed or expected. Night had come again, and they had been writ ing for two or three hours ; writing, in short, a portion of the lazy notes from which these lazy sheets are taken. They had left off writing, and glasses were on the table between them. The louse was closed and quiet, and the town was quiet. Around the head of Thomas Idle, as he lay upon his sofa, hovered light wreaths of fragrant smoke. The temples of Francis Goodchild, as he leaned back in his chair, with his two hands clasped behind his head, and his legs crossed, were similarly decorated. They had been discussing several idle subjects of speculation, not omitting the strange old men, and were still so occupied, when Mr. Goodchild abruptly changed his attitude to wind up his watch. They were just becoming drowsy enough to be stopped in their talk by any such light check. Thomas Idle, who was speaking at the moment, paused and said, " How goes it I" "One," said Goodchild. As if he bad ordered one old man, and the order were promptly executed (truly, all orders were so, in that excellent hotel), the door opened, and one old man stood there. He did not come in, but stood with the door in his hand. " One of the six, Tom, at last !" said Mr. Good child, in a surprised whisper.—" Sir, your plea sure 1" "Sir, your pleased?" said the one old man. " I didn't ring." " The Bell did," said the One old man. For the remainder of the story of a Bridal Cham ber, we refer our readers to the popular periodical in which it originally appeared.—Lancaster Gazette.

COFFER—There is a good demand for plantation Ceylon, and rather higher rates are current. Ricz—Very little business has been done, and holders demand fully former rates; no sales, however, of any moment have been reported. Rum.—The inquiry has been extremely limited, but prices remain unaltered. FRUIT.— The demand for home consumption has rather increased, but the high prices demanded for currants checked consumption. Valentin raisins are at steady rates. SALTPETRE. —There has been a limited inquiry for the finer qualities, but only a few sales were effected, at about previous quotations.

Would it not be as well to allow the soldier prior to embar kation to fix a rate of pay for hie family (not exceed ing a sum which would leave a balance necessary for him in India), and cause the officers commanding regi ments and depots, to forward to the Secretary of State for War, as soon as known what men are to go to India, a list of the married men, stating opposite the name of each the amount he is desirous to leave for his wife ! leaving the Secretary of State for War (if he approved of the amount) to direct the paymasters of their depots or staff-officers of pensioners to pay to the soldiers' wives the amount so left, also the three shillings and sixpence per week given by the public 1 This wool be a great boon to the soldier and inflict no additional loss upon the public, particularly if paid weekly or monthly in advance, and in all cases from the date of the soldier's embarkation, either with a regiment or draft.

THE MAGAZINES. Colburn,'s New Monthly. —Thera is a story by the author of "Ashley," called " The Pines." It is a continuation of the tale commenced last month, but it is so arranged that it will interest one who has not read its predecessor. This is an ingenious contrivance of this clever author, as strangers taking up the magazine are not puzzled to make out the antecedents of a narrative. A sensible article is 'net , with on the subject of "Demoralising French Literature." It refers to a work by Eugene Poitoux on the topio. It is a question that ought to be considered, as it is one of great importance, and the reflections here made are very salutary ones. "Our Sermon" is an admirable contribu tion, by E. Rowell, on some affecting incidents that occurred at the massacre of Cawnpore. " Our Contemporaries" is an interesting sketch of the history of the "Press" of the present day, founded on a recent French work. It contains a useful sum mary of general information, and its tone is alike removed from flattery or prejudice. " The Baths of Lucca," and "The Swedish Voyage round the World," are continued ; and the Eastern crisis is considered in a poem possessing the solemn title of " India's Dark Hour." The Mechanics' Magazine.—This excellent serial progresses with vigour. It is of a more scientific oharacter than any other of its class, and one of its distinguishing features is the scientific nature of the articles and correspondence, many of which would be as interesting to the amateur as to the practical man of business. It is a clear proof of the advance ment of scientific knowledge when a publication of this kind is regularly issued at so low a price. We trust it will continue to meet with the public en couragement it merits. Knight's English Cyclopcedia. Part 57. Bradbury and Evans. The excellent biography of this Cyclopcedia is drawing to a close, and will, when completed, be one of the most compendious and extensive in the language. The introduction of living persons; and of all the celebrities of antiquity prevents any omission of importance, and as a work of reference it will be invaluable. The biographies are usually written with moderation and fairness. A Popular History of England. By Charles Knight. Bradbury and Evans. The twenty-third part of this useful history brings us down to the troubled times of Charles I. The woodcuts are numerous and of a superior kind. Among them is a portrait of Henrietta Maria, from Vandyke. The Law Magazine and Review. Butterworth. This valuable and interesting Quarterly has several topics of interest in this number. It occu pies a high place in serial literature, and it proposes a worthy object—the improvement of the law. It discusses all subjects connected with legal reform in a clear and sensible manner, and takes into con sideration everything relating to law and jurispru dence that has occurred during the quarter. it is not, however, a work that only one versed in legal knowledge and technicalities would care to peruse ; all who take an interest in this important branch of government will find something to engage their at tention, and it is written with simplicity and con ciseness that adapt it to the general reader. The opening paper is a very interesting memoir of the late Lord Truro, which traces the progress of the attorney's son from his entrance at St. Paul's school to the woolsack. In conclusion, the follow ing moral is drawn from his prosperous career : "It is, however, to the moral energies and the intel lectual triumphs of the late Lord Truro that we venture to call the attention of all who are commencing their professional career. To the young lawyer the life and character which we have attempted to delineate ought to be welcome and profitable. We would have this simple narrative to serve a much higher purpose than the grati fication of curiosity. It is a trite piece of commonplace t ) say, that while none can command success in life, all may deserve it, 'and into its truth we need not enter ; but the consideration of L ord Truro's career should act as an incentive to a wise, manly course in the pursuit of the Business of Life. Far be it Isom us either to sug gest to ambitious attorneys or their clerks, to quit their calling under a vain impression that, by so doing, they could emulate the career of Lord Truro. Unfortunately his success did excite for a short time a migration of persons to the Bar, unqualified for that position, and who, sowing in assurance, only reaped disappointment, and who seemed to suppose, moreover, because elegance and refinement were not the particular attributes of a man rich in many great qualities, that ignorance and vulgarity were very available and proper capital for them to depend upon, with a view of becoming eminent in their profession. "Few can hope, even in this free country, to reach the honours and dignities which the subject of these re marks so meritoriously won ; but every student of the law, if endowed with health and power of endurance, can read the lesson and follow the examples of patient industry and perseverance which have been left for our instruction and imitation. " The longer I live,' said T. Fowell Buxton, 'the more I am certain that the greatdifference between men, between the feeble and the powerful, the great and the insignificant, is energy—invincible determination, d pur pose once fixed, and then death. or victory. That quality,' added he, will do any thing that cau be done in this world, and no talents, no circumstances, no opportuni ties, will make a two-legged creature a man without it.' Lord Truro, indeed, did both wisely fix his purpose and worthily work it out. He who exhibits, as Lord Truro did, intellectual and moral energy, should awaken kindred energies in those whom he leaves behind still struggling in the battle of life. Such a story as his may well betbe touch-spring of great power, and give an impulse to noble faculties, to kindling thoughts and aspirations, which, like the undying fire of Persian superstition, will quicken and illuminate many future generations." A lengthy article on the trial of Madeline Smith takes into consideration the peculiarities of evi dence in Scotch courts. Another article, conspi cuous for its length, is founded on Mr. Williams' "Letters to John Bull, Esq., on Lawyers and Law Reform."

The Art Journal.—This serial maintains its character as an artistic magazine. Two of the chief plates are from the Royal collection—" The Beauty of Albano," by A. Riedel, and " The Gate of the Seraglio," Constantinople, by F. Danby, A.R.A. The third engraving is of Von Hayer's statute of Pysche, in the possession of the Queen. Among the literary contents the most remarkable are "The Book of the Thames," by Mr. and Mrs. S. C.

One, on the present panic and the Bank system, attacks the monopoly of the Bank Charter Act with vigour.

Yesterday afternoon the adjourned meeting of share holders in this undertaking was held at the King's Arms, Westminster. Mr. Holmes in the chair— to receive the report of the committee of investigation appointed on a fornter day. The report, which was a very lengthened document, condemned this conduct of the directors. It was then moved that the report be received and entered en the minutes, and that it be printed and circulated amongst the shareholders. An amendment was moved as follows :—"That inasmuch as the continuance of ttia difference between the directors and certain shareholders is damaging t• the prosperity and i❑jurious to the inte rests of the company, and as four additional direc tors have been added to the board, making seven directors in the whole, that the present directors for the company, via., Messrs. Bai❑, Coppock, Holmes, Johnson, Land, Lee, and Todd, be requested. to make such provisional arrange'ments with title creditors of the company, and for letting the gardens, at they may deem expedient, and that they be re quested to report the result to an extraordinary general meeting to be called for the purpose as early as conve nient. Mr. COPPOCK said that if Mr. Coombe, or any other competent person, would pledge themselves to pay the amount at which the gardens were valued, he would willingly refer the matter to arbitration ; but as it was, there was nothing to refer, becaule be had never bad a single penny from the concern. He had a great stake in the matter, and had been a great loser, and he was not going to be driven out by the noise and clamour of por eons who only represented one share. He cautioned thw shareholders that the mortgagees night come in and sell in a few days, if some arrangement were not come to. As to the value of the gardens, he bad contracts for their sale from 14,0001. to 20,0001. He considered that they would all have their money if they chose to work with unanimity, and they should have their money before he touched any, bet he would not be bullied by men whom he despised. He promised them that he would do all in his power to help them in getting their money, and therefore he supported the amendment. The amendment on a show of hands was lost, on which the directors demanded a poll. It was ultimately arranged that the poll should be taken on that day week, in accordance with the terms of the deed, and at the Gardens from 3 to 6 o'clock in the after noon. A motion for the removal of Messrs. Coppook, Bain, and Holmes from the direction was carried, on which a ballot was demanded and granted, at the 6a153 , 3 time and place as the other. The meeting, which was of a stormy character throughout, terminated shortly before six o'clock. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Nov. 3.—Wind this day at noon, S.; light breeze and cloudy.

BOTTLE WASHED A SHORE . —A. pint bottle, fern,' washed ashore on some bare rocks under Whitbury Point, on the property of the Earl of Haddington, was forwarded by his lordship on Thursday to the American Cunsul at Leith. The bottle was sealed with wax, and over the cork was a -lip of parchment fastened with war, bearing the words—" Washington, 16th June, 1857." Enclosed in the bottle, on a small slip of paper, like a leaf torn irons a memorandum-book, was the following : —" Lat. 42 deg. 26 min. N., long. 37 deg. 12 min. Ship Washington, of New York, 2,157 tons burdtii. J. E. Judkins, commander. Caught in a hurricane. Laden with cotton. Abandoned. Just going do%tn. Crew and officers, 68 in all, taking to the boats. G help and pity us all. Amen." The latitude and In, gi. tude given here are from a spot in the middle of the Atlantic, so that, if the document be authentic, it must have travelled round either the northern or southern. coast into the German Ocean, to be landed on the shor , -1 of the Firth of Forth. The only circumstance, as pointed out by the Earl of Haddington, that might ii" dicate the thing to be a hoax—a very heartless and stte. pid one if it be so—is that the writing on the parchment slip covering the cork of the bottle is not so mush obliterated as upwards of four menthe' exposure to the waves might naturally have been expected to have made U.—Scotsman. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION TO EMIGRANTS 103 CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES. —As soon as emigrant ship reaches the emigrant station in the St. Lawrence, at Grosse Isle, a few miles below Quebec, she is boarded by the Government Medical Officer. If there are any sick on board they are landed and remain at the hospital, at the expense of the Government, until they a i re r. c ß ur u e e d. hana l o pn , ree the di G at o ely ver o n n me th t e t E sh ra ip's igr a a r t r io ivl o a l a g t e Q nt u , e g b e e es o s on board.

If there be any just cause of complaint against the captain of a ship, justice is afforded by a summary_ law passed for the purpose, and Mr. Buchanan hisnse superintends the prosecution.
