Tyler, R.E., and the o. her that of Sergeant-Major J. Jones, R.E., each of the new gabions were put to the severest tests. A report of the experiments is to be sent to the Inspector General of Fortifications. A report of the proceedings of the general court martial on Lieutenant G. W. V. Yule, of the Royal Engineers, on several charges of negligence ef duty and unbecoming conduct, was received at Brompton-barracks yesterday, the finding of the Court has-been approved of by the Duke of Cam bridge and her Majesty. The Court found the prisoner " Guilty." Lieutenant Yule is ordered to be dismissed from the service. During Thursday night end the whole of yester day untiring efforts were made to raise her Ma jesty's steamer Cuckoo, but she still remains in nearly the same position. The sentence of a court-martial, held last week at Woolwich for the trial of Levy Bullock, sergeant of the 28th company of the Royal Marine Ligi.t Infantry, on thrt e charges of fraud and embezzle ment, was promulgated on Thursday. The Court having pronounced the prisoner guilty on the whole of the charges, sentenced him to be reduced to the rank of private sentinel, and, further, to be kept in penal servitude for four years. The sentence has been approved by her Majesty, but the term of penal servita,(l9to which he has been sentenced, is commuted to 12 months' im prisonment. Accordingly the prisoner was on Thursday stripped of his stripes by the drum-mjor, on pubic parade, in presence of the entire battalion, to which he belongs, and was forthwith conveyed to Foit Clarence:to undergo his term of imprisonment. Captain A. W. Johnson, Lieutenant Elton, and 80 non-commissioned officers and gunners, detach ment; from the 3d and 14th battalions Royal Artillery, left head-quarters, Woolwich, yesterday, for Southampton, to embark on hoard the Penin sular and Oriental Company's steamer for Alex andria, to proceed by the overland route to Bom bay and Madras.

The United States Mail steam ship Adriat:c, Captain West, arrived this afternoon from New York, with advices to the 28th ult:, 35 passengers, and $390,000 in specie. The Atlantic .team-ship, of the same line, arrived at New York on the 22d ult. The Atlantic conveyed to New York the news of Messrs. Dennistoun's suspension, tut the effect of this intelligence had not time to b 3 felt prior to the Adriatic's departure. The New York Herald, of the 23d ult., says : " The markwt is not likely to be presped with stock for sale without finding buyers, so lone Ri the bull party continues able and willing to buy. But they must con• ttnue purchasers to continue the inflation and to keep the supply of Stock from increa-ing. This we look for, and have no doubt of the success of the movement, so long as the absorption of stock goes or. It will, we fear be found much more difficult to sell than to buy, and the effect of a withdrawal of the present demand can be ea. ily imagined. The expansion in prices La. already been to an unprecedented extent for the same space of time, and it would be something Extra'adinary it some important reaction was not very soon realised." The telegraph reports a collision of the steam boats Opelousas and Galveston. Some 25 of the passengers of the Opelousas were drowned, among them General Hami:ton, of South Carolina. The Herald adds, referring to the state of the New York money market " In support of the position of speculators for a rise, even upon present high prices, is the fact that an ewirer money market has not been known in Walt•titrte, fur years. The banks are free lenders on call at the rate of 5 and 6 per cent. per annum, and the brokers can hypo thecate their stocks with favourable margins to any amount." In cotton, prices are depressed and nusettled. The stock continues to be very lig ,, t. The unemployed workmen in New York have had frequent meetings, and the usual declathatory and inflammatory harangues have been made, but everything passed off in quietness. • From Havana we have alvices to the 15th ult. Trade was very dull. Sugars had declined. Mexican advices to the 4Th inst. report a success ful rebellion in the south and west, her frontiers ravaged by savages, her treasury b enkrupt, and her highways thronging with banditti. This un happy republic seems to be in the final throes of dis-olution. General Walker's rendezvous at Powder Horn has been broken up, and his recruits disbanded. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov 23 Monetary affairs bad continued to impri , ve. The bank returns for the week ending November 14, compared with those of the week previous, exhibit the following variations i❑ the aggregate of the leading departments : —Decrei.se in loan and discount , , 626,994 dole. ; in crease in specie, 2,959,814 dok ; decrease in circula tion. 175,660 dole.; increase in deposits, actual, 4,176,582 dols. COMMERCIAL FAILURES. The suspension has been announced of Messrc. F. and A. Bovet, an old established firm in the trale with China, with moderate liabilities. Their difficulties are understood to have been principally caused by the late heavy fall in the silk-market. The stoppage has a'so taken pl ;ce of Messrs. C. A. Joins and Co., general merchant., who hive been brought down by the recent failures in the North of Europe. Their liabilities are supposed to amount to about 100,0001. A meeting of creditors of Messrs. J. Foot and Sons, silk manufacturers, whose suspension was an ncunced on the 101 h ult.,• iris held yesterday, when by a statement of affairs submit'ed by Mr. Jay, the accountant, the liabilities were stated to be 27,6401., while the assets were estimated at 24,4721. after deducting for certain claims to be paid in full. A proposition that a composition be accepted of 15s. in the pound, payable in inst il menti extending over 18 months, was agreed to, and two creditors were appointed to act as in spec ors. THE SLAVE TRADE. Dr. Livingstone has addressed the following letter to he Editor of the Times : Sir,--Having hi former years imbibed the idea, from speeches it ale in Parliament, and from articles in news papers sinailar to that in your leader of the 24th, that our squadron on the West Coast of Africa, so far from dimi nishing, rather increased the evils of the slave-trade, I % ent to Angola in 1854 fully expecting to find, as you remark, ' " that'this nefarious traffic still spauists- As much as ever." When, however, I came in contact with the Portuguese who hail actually been engaged in the trade, and ht a-d thorn refer to it invariably in tire 1)34 tense, my confidence was somewhat shaken in the soundness of Parliamentary information. Such a man was rich," said they, "in the time of the slave-era le." And when I saw boys of 10 cr 12 years of age sold for about 12s. each within 150 wiles of the coast, and heard the pathetic lamentation, "Ah ! we could have got 60 or 70 dollars f.T these lads in the time of dm slavettra 'e," together with the frank confession by those who, of all others, ought to know best that the prime agents in the repression of the traffic were the Euglish cruisers, I was forced to a different conclusion from that to which the really very plausible statements of various parties had led me. on Then, again, I saw crow d s of carr i ers ( carrega d oree ) the road from the interior to the coast. These carriers are compelled by the Government of Loanda to convey neer chendise at the rate of N. a-day. On examining this system of compulsory labour I found it to be a direct evidence of the efficiency of our cruisers in repressing the sl eITO - Thus, previous to 1845, when the squadren was increased to the s t rengt h it had before the breaking out of with a few slaves bearing goods, °d i p ' ( tih o e w ß n u t s o si t a h n o w co a a r, s a t l b l y the mer c h an di se o f A ngo l a was b roug ht bees-wax with s l aves sufficient to carry them. All were , 11 The andmerchantspurchased intended for ex p or t ation, and there was no more difficulty einvto inland l a and in shipping the human cargo than the loads they carried. But ou the augmentation of the force on the coast the Go verument resorted to this species of impressment to supply the place of the slaves which were previously all exported. The spectacle of a large gang of slaves marched down to the coast, so common previous to 1815, is now never seen; and if we glance at the Custom-house returns we find that the receipts for head money gradually diminished from that year till 1850, when none was received. This sacri fice of a large revenue by the Portuguese Government shows that w e are not the only people who have made efforts to put d own the odious traffic; and if half the honesty of purp ose which you civilly ascribe to the Go veneer of Cuba h a d c h aracterised the officialesent to Angola the trade would have entirely ceased. A few incorrigible slave-dealers, winked at by governors of Loanda who in words would outmatch General Concha in strenuous en-lea ; voirs to annihilate the traffic, have continuedlto eiport a few loads annually horn certain ports north of Loanda. But this has been a difficult game to play, inasmuch as their own countrymen willingly give information to the crui sers for a small consideration, and being obliged to con ceal their shipments from both parties they stand, as it wore, between two fires. So far from brisk is the export trade that I once travelled in company with three native slavedealers who bad eight women in a chain away from the coast towards the middle of, the country to sell them for ivory. One of their owners said "that the English cruisers alone prevented their being sent across the sea." And as for the alleged increase of cruelty in the middle passage, any one who reads bow slaves were treated when the slave trade was legal will see that it was often even then as bad as it could b e. It is of suc h a h eat h en i s h , or rather fiendish, natur e th at men engage d i n it are some how led to treat their f e ll ow-men i mmeas u ra bly worse than they would animals of equal or inferior value. Notwithstanding the very decided influence of the crui sers on the parts I visited there seems to have been an in crease in the traffic since the strength of the cruisers was reduced by the Russian war, and this inorease has taken place in the rivers north of Angola. The prostitution of the American fl se is a serious drawback to our efforts at suppression. Yet it must be borne in mind that we hear ledgem o r more about i a t b u n o a o w a ( cl i o a e y a s n ; o a t n i the piy a n i ne r e actuala se a o n f g o to u e r n k t a n t o i w o n ot the evil. While our attention is directed to greater num bers of slaves being imported into Cuba we must not shut our eyes to the fact of another market being closed altoge ther to the trade, *or forget that the present posture of Brazil is owing to the moral influence of Great Britain. slaves annually. About two-thi r d s are kept away from hCeurbsahworoeuldsbYwthereepresentabeloOcpkean. take an d kill o ff 50,C00 de. That, with another large market closed to the traffic, is surely not an ignoble failure. I have thus ventured to state my conviction in favour of our present system, formed, as it was, from personal observation, and in the teeth of a stro ng bias to the con trary, that you may, according to you custom, and if you should deem it advisable, give this to your readers by way of helping them to both sides of the question. It is not to be supposed for a moment that th e presen t sys t em o f coercion will result in a radical cure of the evil. The culti vation by the Africans on their own soil of the raw mate rials of our manufactures and the influence of Christian civilisation alone will effect a permanent suppression of the slave-trade. But all hope of this must be given up if the coast tribes are to be hounded on by Europeans to hunt down the defenceless inland inhabitants on the absurd true that Africans take delight ier hunting, buying end pretence of promoting " free emigrati on ." It i s no more selling each other than that the English glory in hanging themselves in November. I know that is the case through out the interior, and I was sorry at the cause of a different state of things on the borders of civilisation. But we are ignorant of the sources whence statements such as that referred to arise. From meeting it in various quarters, and more especially in the mouths of slaveholders, or it and that about t he ineffic iency of her Majesty's cruisers would-be slave e mployers,ployers, I am in c li ne d to th i n k t h a t b o th have bad their origin in those who are, directly or indi rectly, abettors of s laver y , and that they are promulgated by many who, like m y self, had not the means of testing their truth. yr.177L71: c onsequence it bas been proposed to give DP a considerable portion of the above line, and only to carry t Worcester, and Wolverharop• SEVERN VALLEY th ß e a ra m o w n A e and the di difficult' u t l l t i y e osoeufvtoebrttehaepinrcienosgsnuemrterouoncnetiyo'n of the railway from its intended j t u on nc a t t io n n awrittihebtuhreyOtoxfßorrdoseley in Shropshire. __- LAUNCHING THE LEVIATHAN. Soon aft , r daylight yesterday morning, Mr. Brunel, with Captain Harri , on, and his indefatig able chief assistant, Mr. Prowse, wore again busy at Mill wall, superintending the efforts by which the Leviathan is worked down slowly to the water, inch by inch and foot by foot. The ship has now completely quitted every part of the old I oundation on which she was built, and the entire of her vast bulk and stupendous weight rest on the new launch ing ways alone. The m )st sinister rumours have at times been in circula.ion au to the disas'rous resul , s which might be anticipated when this event should happen, but as far as can he ' judge I from the effect upon the ways at present the firmness with which they bear the vessel up exceds the most sanguine expectations, and quite ju,tifies the remarks which have been made by eng niers that, n'xt to the ship i-self, the lauticiiing was are the best piece of work in the yard. Their con-truction was contracttd for by the Messrs. Tre3dwell, and, considering the nature of iheground they had to work upon, and the severity of the test which they have i-ince withstood, their sttength and rigidity may be considered as really astinishing. The Leviathan was fist pushed upon them on Thur. day afternoon, and so rein lined throughout the nigh', yet to little had the timber yielded under the tetnendous pressure, that in the ver) first attempt move the ship yesterday she in stantly slipped seven feet. She made this great step-with the same easy gliding tnot'on as hereto. fore, with au almost tot d absence of friction on the meta's, and with only the usual holllw, so lemn' reverberating noise like very dis•ant thunder. These slits, however, are scarcely productive of any great gain in the day's work, for, the stern being much heavitr than the bows, the cradle under that portion descends much more rapidly, and so turns both cradles on the ways that an immense pressure is required again to start her. Thus, yesterday morning, after one of these slips, she displayed the most unyielding ob stinacy. The tackle from the river, the vrew jacks and hydratficinachines, were taxed to titer utmost, the latter especially, to such an extent that first a 14-inch cylinder, and next a 7-inch one, gave way, and ripped the slid iron top to boteona under the intense pressure which was exerted in them. These mishaps, however, only occasioned a temporary de lay, and a renewal of the efforts, after a time, at last got another start of the ship, and so she continued throughout the day, dropping from 6 to 10 inches each time, till dusk, when the men left off, and the signal Loards showed a progress of nearly 31 feet for the day's work. The afternoon's tide yesterday placed about four feat of water under her keel, and so lightened the ways of about 1,500 tons of her dead weight ; :but apparently this made not the least difference in her rate of progress. There seems now not the least reason to doubt but that by Tuesday or Wednes day next the launch will be entirely c nnpkt d. It is reported that the fall of the scaffolding out side the yard on Thursday injured very many m re people than were then conveyed to the hospital, and that the number of persona in the neighbourhood who are suffering front contusions, internal injuries, and slight concussious of the brain, receiyeelon.tliat 'occasion, it . coftsideratile. It Seems surprisingt'aat the police should not have interfered to prevent a scaffolding not fit to bear 20 with safety front being crowded with at least a hundred people. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP ACT ADIENDMENT.—The ing is a copy of the Bill entitled " An Act to amend tke Act for securing the liberty of religious worship," introduced by Lord Shaftesbury last evening ; —" Win rs a4 it is expedient to extend the Act pa.sed in the session of Parliament held in the 18th and 19Lti years of the reign of her present Majesty, entitled An Act for securing the liberty of religious worship ;' Be it enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Tem poral, and Commons in this press. t Parliament assem bled, and by the authority of the same as f.'llows :-1.

THE COUNTESS OF ELLESMERE'S JEWELS—CONFESSION OF ONE OF Tilt THIEVES.—A very explicit confession has just been made by a young man named Atwell, a pri soner in Chelmsford Gaol, as to the robbery of property belonging to the Countess of Ellesmere on the 22d of January, 185 G. It will be remembered that the pro• perty, which was of great value, was contained in a box, which was stolen from the roof of a cab on its way to Waterloo-bridge station. Atwell states that he with two other men, known as " Witty" and " Saint," were out on the day just mentioned with the intention of com mitting robbery. They followed the cab, and Witty jumped up behind the cab, and pulled the box down. The horse reared up, but the driver did not observe them. They took it to the shop of Jackson, an oilman, in Leonard street, Shoreditch, and opened it in the back parlour in the presence of Jackson and his voile. Atwell says :" I noticed the name of the Countess of Ellesmere painted in white letters on the top of the box, DA I said, ' This lady is almost next to the Queen." By that, said Jacks I hope you have got some hi ig g ol." Witty began taking out the things. Mrs. Jackson said, They are very nice things'—they consisted of ladies' dresses. Then Witty discoverei a little box containing a bracelect. I said, 4 Joe, this is gold.' Ile took another out of the box ; went on further and brought a boxshaped like a half.moon—that contained a coronet for a lady's head. There was a thing in the shape of a butterfly, covered with sparks (diamonds) This was sold to Mrs. Jackson for half-a-crown, and a large quantity of dresses and shawls for 50'. Jackson purchased a handkerchief full of jewellery for 401. A lot of loose diamonds and blue drops' were sold next morning for ss. and the other contents disposed of in a similar fashion." Jackson and his wife were yester day committed for trial, on the charge of feloniously receiving the stolen property. " " lrH',b SUN OFFICE, k . i.r o' Clock. RUSSIA. We have already spoken of the reforms wh'cli. the Emperor Alexander decided on introducing into the Russian army. The St. Peteroburg jour nals affirm that the project has been carried out, and t here has been a reduction of 3,000 officers and 200,000 men. In order to appreciate the rea bearing of this measure, it must be remembered that Russia has two kinds of army—her real effec tive &re-, and the nominal one, which is to be found on paper only. It is in this latter that has taken place the reduction of which the Russian journals speak. The result of the modificgtion will be the suppression of a certain number of sinecures and a corresponding economy in the war budget. - MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) COVENT GARDEN.
