MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed quietly but steadily, at the full rates current last week. The sales were 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export. The railway share market presented an inactive aspect at previous quotations. Among the failures in the sorn trade, to which reference was made yesterday, we may mention that of Messrs. Bardgett and Picard, whose liabilities are estimated at 120,0001. The other firms, who were also embarrassed, are comparatively unimportant so far as the engagements are con cerned. In the Colonial Produce Markets there is more rumness, and several of the principal staples are at enhanced rates. Sugar is in active request at an ad vance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt., and coffee is also rather dearer. The stock of these two articles in Lon don on the 7th instant was as under : ■uaes. 1857. 1856. Tons. Tons. Colonial Foreign Total 47,172 corzEn. Colonial Foreign . 5,456 3,590 4,497 3,093 Total Tea, rice, and most other colonial products, are higher, and a better feeling generally prevails. Tallow is flat. The New York City Banks through the sus pension of specie payments are becoming very strong, and before the meeting of the Legislative Assembly they will probably be in a better posi tion than ever before known. They wisely determined to limit their discount operations as far as practicable, and on the 31st ult. their engage men ts in this department were only 95,317,754 dols, whereas, on the Bth of August the total was 122,077,252 dols. While these precautions pro tected the Banks however, they necessarily embarrassed those traders who have been fortu nate enough to escape bankruptcy. The specie is accumulating rapidly, the exports being limited, and the imports from California are of the usual extensive character. 111 they received they were enabled to keep, and the deposits, which, on the 17th ult. were reduced to $42,696,012, bad in creased on the 31st to $51,853,158. The demand for money is still supported with a good deal of activity, and bankers and others can, therefore, find full employment for their surplus means at remunerative rates. 1 great deal of caution is still observed, butt as failures are now sea frequent confidence is becoming stronger. Silver is flat, and the business transacted is of a imited character. The Market for Public Securities is not very active, but a moderate business has been transacted. Some bona fide sales have been made, which have caused a flatter tone. Rumours of an advanced rate of discount are circulated ; but, although they are not believed, they add to the heaviness of the market. There is also a good deal of anxiety respecting the meeting of Parliament, and the subjects which are likely to be brought under discussion. Consols have been 89k for money, and 891 I for account. They are now 89 to 89k, 891, , respectively. The New 3 per Cents, are 88 to 88i, and the Reduced 88 to 88k. Exchequer Bills are 18s. to 13s. discount, and the Bonds 97i. India Bonds are 30s. discount. Bank stock is 2111 to 214. The stoppage of the Wolverhampton and Staf fordshire Banking Company has bad a depressing Influence, but, all things considered, the Funds exhibited remarkable firmness. The Foreign Stoek Market is quiet, and most of the quotation are flatter. Turkish Six per Cents. __ _ _ ire 87f f ; and the 4 per Cents. 96 4 3 97. Mexican per Cents. are rather firmer, being 18k.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in %DC° before, the Lord Chief Justice Cock burn, Justices Williams, Crowder, and Willes.) TOOYHT ♦. THS LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY -NIGLIGENCH . Mr. Sergeant Pigott said this was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendants, and was tried on the 12th inst. before Mr. Justice Cresswell, at West minster, when the plaintiff was non-suited, subject to a motion to this court to enter the verdict for the plaintiff for 351., a sum agreed on between the parties, if the Court considered the learned judge who tried the case was wrong in his law. The facts of the case are these The defendants were sued for negligence, in not keeping their station at New-Dross in a reasonably secure state. It appeared from the plaintiff's evidence that he went to the station about half past ten o'clock at night, to proceed to London. Whilst there he asked a gentleman, a stranger, to direct him to a part of the platform he was seeking. He was acoord ingly directed by the gentleman, but mistook the door, and pushing open the wrong one, fell into a hole or cellar below. He was assisted to the platform, and from thence to the hospital, where it was found that he bad broken three or four ribs, and he had been laid up ever since. There was no lamp over the door, and it was on the swing at the time the plaintiff fell. The question for the consideration of the court was whether there was any negligence on the part of the company to make them liable ; because, if so, it should have been submitted on the trial to the jury, acd the learned judge would not have nonsuited the plaintiff. The court confirmed the ruling of the learned judge, and the application was discharged. COURT' OF EXCHEQUER. (Sitting. in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell, Wateon, and Channell.) CHURCHYARD Y. WATKINS-COMPROMISING AN ACTION. The Lord Chief Baron, in delivering judgment in this case, said it was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, an attorney, who had acted in that capacity for hint in an action which Watkins cam promised for 1401., paying over to the plaintiff 701., and retaining 701. for costs. The plaintiff, on the trial, proved that he told the defendant not to compromise the action unless he (the plaintiff) received 1001., and the jury, by their verdict, found to be the bargain be tween them. That disposed of the whole case, because the jury having found he compromised the case for 1401., the defendant was prevented from taking more than 401. for costs. In the course of the conversation the defendant said to the plaintiff, " Yon are to take 1001., and I am entitled to no more than 401., and I am not sure there is not something coming to you out of that." The jury on the trial gave the plaintiff a verdict for 301., which, with the 701. paid, made 1001., according to the compromise ; and the Court to-day were of opinion that the verdict ought not to be disturbed. Rule for a new trial discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A JUYENILN THlEF.—George Wyatt, a well-dressed good looking youth, 14 years of age, the son of respect. able parents, residing tNo 18, Little Pulteney -street, was brought before Mr. Beadou, for re-examination, charged with stealing eight sovereigns, belonging to his father, who, in consequence of illpess, was unable to attend. Mrs. Wyatt, the lad's mother, who was deeply affected while giving her evidence, stated that her son, the pri soner at the bar, although so young in years was a most incorrigible thief. He had a good and comfortable home, a kind father and in fact every thing that a lad in his station of life could desire. On the morning of Sunday week she deposited ten sovereigns in a small box, in a closet in her bedroom In the course of the afternoon, in consequence of what she was told by her daughter, she looked in the bex, and found that eight sovereigns out of the ten had been ab stracted therefrom. Sheet once suspected the prisoner and on making inquiries found that he had ab sconded. She at once proceeded to the station-house, and gave information to the police, and she saw nothing more of the lad till the following day, when he was in custody, without a farthing in his pocket. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prisoner said he did take the money, the whole of which be spent with a cabman, whom he did not know, and when he had spent all the money the cabman turned him adrift without a penny. - The prisoner's mother said her husband: wished to know whether the lad could not be got into some insti tution, where he would be for a time separated from his bad companions. They were willing to pay what ex. pence• might be incurred. All their desire was, how to save Lira from utter destruction. Mr. Beadon maid he would remand the lad for a week, and in the meanwhile would see what could be done in the matter. The lad was then sent back to prison. WESTMINSTER. UNGEATBIIIIL RETURN,—William Osborne, a young wan, raid to be very respectably connected, was placed at the bar before Mr. Paynter, charged with stealing a silver watch and guard chain, value 41., and 145., from Benjamin Harold, of Britain street, Chelsea. The prosecutor stated, that he spent last evening at a tavern at Knightsbridge, where he fell into company with the prisoner, and they had some liquor together. On leaving there the prisoner said, he had had some dif ferences with his friends, seal in consequence had no where to sleep that night, Prosecutor kindly said that if he liked he could share his bed, and took him hems to his mother's house, and having given him some sup per they reti re d for the night. Prosecutor took his watch from his neck, and placed it on the mantelpiece, and then went to bed and fell asleep. This morning when he awoke, be found the room door, which he had fastened on the previous night, open, aid the prisoner gone. All the money that he had in his pockets, aid his watch, had been carried off. Prosecu tor immediately gave information to the police. John Wyse, 75 B, said he apprehended the prisoner this morning, at Knightsbridge, from the description given of him, when he denied all knowledge of either the watch or money. Prosecutor then name up, and charged him, and on his way to the station, having no opportunity of getting rid of the property, he admitted he had stolen it, and produced the watch and money. Prisoner was committed for trial. LLOYD'S SBIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Noy. 17.—Wiud this day at noon, N.E. ; light breeze and hazy. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 16.—Wind N.E. to E.—Arrived H.M. Str.

We have received files of the Me bourne Age to the 16th Sept. We gather that more than 85,000 ounces of gold, and 10,0001. in sovereigas, were shipped in the Emeu. The commercial advices are not encouraging. Unprecedented dukiess had prevailed for two months. The storekeepers had previously supplied themselves, while the long continued dry weather hindering the operation of gold washing bad dimi- nished the weans of the consuming classes. Rain had commenced to fall in abundance, however, and speedy improvement was hoped for. The Heather Bell had sailed for London on 7th Aug. with 19,647 ounces of gold ; Royal Charter for Liverpool, Aug. 12., with 83,593 ounces ; Se • ringapatam for Liverpool, Aug. 15, with 12,183 ounces ' • and the Essex for Londo n , S e pt. 2 , w i t h 105,255 ounces. The value of the gold alone in this last ship exceeded 410,0001. The total amount of gold shipped since the com ntencement of 1857, including the shipments to the neighbouring colonies, had been 79 tons 1 owt. 3 qrs. 201 b. 11 oz., which, at 80s. per oz., gives the value of 7,636,6021. The receipts of gold by escort continue to be far in advance of those in the cor responding period in 1856. Ballarat gold had sold on the fields at 80s. per oz., and other fields in proportion, but a reduction of 6d. per oz. expected. The new gold fieldat Mount Ararat promised to be very successful. In two months 10,000 persons had been added to the population of the colony. Numbers com plained of want of employment, but would not aocept of reduced wages. Crime was on the de crease. Two Chinamen had been executed for the murder of a European female ; and the notorious convict, Capt. Melville, had strangled himself. Agriculture was advancing so rapidly that it was confidently expected Victoria within a year or two would be independent of foreignsupplies. Although in five years the population of Victoria had in creased by 400,000, yet the live stock has increased —not diminished, as some feared. In 15 months the increase bad been 14,402 horses, 112,500 horned cattle, 31,541 pigs, and 63,676 sheep. Telegraphic communication with Adelaide was in a forward state, and a grand railway scheme was likely to b• adopted. A plan for the federation of the colonies was under consideration. State aid to religion is to cease in Victoria in 1860. The Haines ministry had carried the Land Bill through the lower house. Mr. Fellows, the Solicitor-Gene ral, had resigned. TEE EMBU'S AUSTRALIAN MAILS. We have received via Marseilles, from a gentleman on board the Australian steamer, the following interest ing particulars of the grounding of the Emeu steamer on her passage up to Suez with the Australian mails. When the Australasian left Alexandria her Majesty's ship Tartarus, a Russian 44-gun frigate and a brig, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Indus and Valetta were at that port : —" On Sunday morning, Oct. 12, at 7.35, the Royal mail steamer Emeu left Aden for Suez, the wind S.E., fine weather, passed inside Perim Island at 4 p.m., and the Ilarnish group about 11. At 6 a.m, of the 19th, Teleager Islands were abeam, and at 9.15 Jibbel Teer bore E , distant four miles; at noon the ship's position in let. 16.2 N., long. (chronotnoter) 41.36 E., weather northerly and variable. Noon on the 20th, lat. 19 5 N., long. 38 56 E., distance run 240 miles ; light north-west breezes and calm. The course steered would bring the vessel about 20 miles to the eastward of Rae Ravray, which we expected to pass about 2 30 a.m. (Ist.) At 11 p.m. the course was altered haif a point to the north ward, the night fine, but dark and rather hazy ; sea smooth. At 15 minutes past 12 (midnight) the ship suddenly struck, then going 10i knots, our position by dead reckoning being let. 20 4 N., long. 37 50 E., beth patent and ordinary logs having been kept going. The captain, second officer, and Arab pilot were on the bridge, and two lock out. forward. The ship remained hard and fast. Nothing was an first visible as the seadid not break, but ongoing forward could not make out very shoal water, with small fragments of rock just above the surface. Sounded and found two feet of water under the bow, 51 fathoms abaft the forechains, and no bottom with 240 fathoms over the stern. Immediately the ship struck the engines were stopped and revers.d, guns, chain, cables, &a., brought aft, but without effect:, her stem having cut about 15 feet into the coral rock, and having risen about 5 feet. In a few minutes the forward compartment was full'of water up to the sea level. There was no confusion whatever, the crew and passengers being perfectly orderly. At daylight found the reef we had struck upon to be Guttal ci Bunna, a small circular cord patch just under water. The ship's head was N.W. by N. half N., the islaA of Mujetta on port how, and the mainland 10 miles distant. The ship must have been set by the current since noon the day previous 22 soiled to the westward. Every exertion was used both by the commander, officers, and passengers to get her off, with• out avail, until 5 a.m. of the 23d, when she slipped clf, having been 53 hours on the reef (the damage was serious—a large rugged hole in her fore compartment, from the 11th to the 7th footmark). Turned ahead when she got off, intending to go to Cormisb, on the Nubian coast, 45 miles distant, but she made too much water, and we were obliged to run for Duberdabb, 12 miles dis tant, where we ran the ship's head on the soft mud. Capt. Gough, R.N., the parser, and two passenger., with a portion of the mail, left in a native boat, taking them to Jiddab, on the Arabian coast, 120 miles distant. Native boats were chartered to cruise in the offing signal, if possible, any steamer that might be passing . After great exertions, lightening the ship, and making a " Californian" pump, wbicb, with the other pumps, were kept going, we ultimately reached Suez on the 3d at 8 p.m. On the voyage to Suez we met the Hiedostan, or rather she overtook us, and hearing that the mails, &0., were at Jiddab, she turned back to look for them, and bring them on, and the Admiralty agent and party, but neither she nor the parties s' e went in search of had yet arrived when the Australasian left Alexandria, THE LATE M. AI?BATUCCI. M. Fould, Minister of State, delivered the fol lowing address at the conclusion of the funeral ser vice over the remains ofM. Abbatucci, in the chapel of Pero la Chaise : " Gentlemen,—An u nex p ec t e d ca l am it y , a p ro f oun d grief, has brought us together. For the fifth time in six years we have been btmraoned to pay the last honours to a Minister of the Emperor. Our colleague, our friend, he who has fallen before the time usually allotted to man, Jacques Pierre Charles Abbatncoi, was born in 1792, in that island which has been the cradle of thelm perial dynasty. Hie family, for a long period illustrious for their military services, gave three generals to Italy and two to France. His three uncles died on the field of battle. At the peace another career was opened to the young Abbatucci, in which he was destined to acquire a reputation not less insetting. In the year Islo he entered the magietraoy. to which he belonged during 33 years, and through every stage of which he passed. Elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1839, be gave proofs In this double career of the highest integrity, of remarkable penetration, aad of the firmest independence. As deputy he voted fer Parliamentary re f orm ; as mag i s t rate h e delivered a speech in th e Co ns tit uen t A ssem bl y , damson , st!ating the incompatibility of the national repreeentntion with the functions of a paid servan t o f th e State. Suiting his actions to his votes, he refused in 1840 to become First President, and in 1849 he vacated his seat in the Court of Cessation t o d e f en d i n the Le gislative Assembly the cause of order and the true principles of government. Shortly after, the Emperor, who esteemed him, and who was acquainted with him previous to his being called to direct the destinies of France, re warded a noble career—a constant fidelity—by confiding to him the office of Minister of Jeetice. He thus became and remained during nearly six years the respected and beloved chief of that magistracy, with all whose wants and all whose obligations he was acquainted, because he had religiously practised all its duties. En dowed with great perspicacity, a prompt and accurate jadgment, his advice, while deputy, was always sought and always attended to by the political party to which he belonged; animated with feelings of indulgent imparti ality, which proceeded'frons long experience and a noble soul, he was an excellent judge of human nature, and dur ing his period of office, which prematurely closed, he di rected the magistracy by inspiring all its members with a feeling that their merits were appreciated. His great kindness of heart gave a greater value to his favours, and be knew how to mitigate the pang of a refusal . when necessary. Our laws bear lastivg marks of his inspira tions, By him criminal prosecutions have been accele rated—appeals from the police courts have been usefully centralised, and civil death has disappeared from our code. Other labours, unfinished but not lost , attest his solicitude for a progressive and continuous impulse to oar legislation. To the councils of the Emperor he brought that moderation and sagacity which intellects of a h igh order derive from a long participation in political events. For these reasons our grief will long survive this melancholy ceremony in the recollection of us, his colleagues and friends, who were the daily witnesses of the firmness of his opinions and the sauvity of his tem per. That firmness and that suavity did not desert him at the hour of death—in his struggle with suffering, even when science sought a doubtful chance of recovery by the most painful of operations. The death of so virtuous a man is a lesson and a consolation. He found within his own breast the best consolation for an incurable malady. The numerous proofs of affte• tion which were so justly given him by the magis tracy and the highest order of our fellow-citizeee, the spontaneous effusion of ancient friendship—a last and affecting message from the Emperor—the pious d e votion of his children, gave tranquillity to his last mo ment. After being in communion with God he ceased to live—surrounded by his children , and p ressie g their hands in his until it was fresen by death. None of those who were acquainted with you can forget you, dear and regretted colleague ! Your memory will live for ever in the hearts otyour children, who are so worthy of you. It will be loved and honoured by those who survive to continue the common work, and who in say ing Farewell' to you for the last time, implore of Pro vidence to inspire them with your example and your de votedness to the publics good.". THI BALANCE OF TRADE RE.D.RNSSED (From the New York, Herald) The receipt of a million and a quarter in gold by the Persia is so anusual a phenomenon that it may well suggest some reflections on the present con dition and future prospects of that mysterious entity, which is called the balance of trade. The balance of trade, we need hardly ray, is the difference between the exports and imports of a country ; thus the balance of trade between Eng land and ourselves is the difference between our imports from and exports to England. The balance of trade is said to be against a country when her imports exceed her exports ; in that ease she is bound to make up the deficiency either in specie or in paper securities which her creditors agree to take. The natural law of commerce ought to make this country a creditor of all others, that is to say, ought to establish a balance of trade in our favour with every country with which we trade. For we produce a larger quantity and have a larger surplus of the necessaries of life than any foreign nation ; we need nothing from abroad half so much as foreigners need what we alone can send them, but, such has been the ingenuity of foreigners, so low the cost of labour in France and England, and so large the means and appetites of our people, that this balance which should be in our favour has turned against us. For many years we have been heavy debtors to England. We have always taken of her manufactures so much more than she has taken of corn and cotton (though she has relied upon us for work and food for her people) that for years we have been compelled to get England to square the annual account, and pay up the balance of trade, over 30 millions of specie and more than 20 millions in the shape of paper securities of one kind or another. Without this we should have been a bankrupt nation. Last year there was an attempt made by some of the stockjobbers who *ere interested in the infla tion of values to show that the accounts of the year made out a balance of trade in our favour. We thought it worth while to explode this mischievous nonsense at the time, and we showed from the sta tistical records that during the last fiscal year the balance of trade accumulated against us by England somewhat exceeds 42 millions of dollars. It need, of course, have been no such sum had our people possessed the moderation to restrict their purchases of foreign goods within convenient limits ; but we must take people as they are. The prospect then with which the present fiscal year was commenced was one in which the balance of trade, to be shown against us in June, 1858, would figure at not less than forty millions. It appeared pretty crrtain in July last that there could not be much deviation from this figure. Merchants, bankers, and statesmen reasoned from itconfidently. All these reasonings and expectations have been overset by the revulsion. The whole fabric of our commercial system has been changed by the events of the past few weeks. Ix the first place, an enormous portion or tne goods we have bought of England will not he paid for at all. An impression prevails that the dry goods' dealers and some of the other importers hare not by any means seen the worst of the crisis ; at any rate, it is well known that very many of them have been compelled to fail in their engage ments to their English correspondents, and that others will be compelled to pursue the same policy. Thus a great proportion of our debt to England will be wiped out by the dishonesty of the indivi duals who owe it. So far as the country is con cerned, the effect, barring the lorr of honour and credit, will be the same as if the debt were paid in flowor gold. Again, the season of pre3sure, the close of which, it must be hoped, we are now rapidly ap proaching, has had the effect of compelling us to cur tail throughout all the grades of society. From the importer to the servant girl, everybody has curtailed in some measure or other. And the most obvious effect of the change may be found in that message sent a few days since by a body of New York merchants to Secretary Cobb, intimating that for 40 days not a single order for foreign goods bad been sent out. This, of course, will largely aid our side of the commercial account, and greatly tend to dimi❑ish the balance that would be stored up against us. Whether the English, as a rule, will ayail them selves of the present depreciated state of our public securities to effect further purchases to any con siderable extent, cannot yet be foreseen; we hear of orders to buy, but at the same time we see a state of things in England and Europe generally which leaves but little room for speculation of any kind. If more of our securities do go abroad under the effect of the present depreciation, why that will also tend to disturb the usual balance of trade, an:l help us out of the English debt. Altogether it would not be surprising if for many wcoks or months to come these three causes, viz., the insolvency of England's debtors here, the ces sation of importations, and the increase of invest ments by Englishmen in American securities of one kind or Other, operated to make us England's credi. tors, and to turn the balance of trade iu our favour. RIOT AT LURG4.N. LURGAN, SATURDAY EVENING. There has not been such a riot in this part of the north these thirty years as occurred in this town last night. The rioters were the cambric weavers, who are at present in a state of excitement in the rural districts, on account of a reduction of wages which has taken place, consequent upon the unhappy condition of the foreign market, and the limited demand in the home market for linen goods. About noon, a public meeting, att e nd e d by upwards of 1,000 weavers, was held at a place called Shane-hill, which is three miles distant from this tswn, and at the meeting speeches weremade denunciatory of the reduction of wages, and expres sive of the strongest hatred and opposition to the power-loom weaving carried on by Mr. Malcolm and. others, of Lurgan. Between three and four o'clock, after the meeting was over, the weavers came into this town in a body, their numbers having increased in the meantime to between 3,000 and 4,000 persons. Mr. Malcolm got intima tion of their coming, and he closed his factory, and barricaded the door within, as he suspected an at tack. His power-loom workers were all in the inside to gether with head constable Wearron and nine of the constabulary, who were armed, and determined to resist any attack upon the premises. Mr. Hand cock, J. P , Lord Lurgan's agent, was on. the ground, and when the mob stopped in front of Mr. Malcom's establishment, ho addressed them and advised them to go quietly to their homes. The mob shouted iociferously, and used menacing lanugage, calliug upon Mr. Malcom to close his power-loom factory and turn it into flour mill, or else they would % reek it. A great many of the crowd carried bludgeons, and others had fire-arms. They then paraded the town, and when it became a little dark returned to Mr. Malcom's establishment again, and literally swarmed round the factory, which is situated in the rear of the dwelling-house. They renewed their shouts and menaces, and then commenced a most violent attack with stones upon the doors and windows of the building. Firearms were discharged frequently, and the police were obliged to sally out of the factory, and charge the rioters with fixed bayonets. They succeeded in capturing three of the rioters in the charge. The main body of the mob, having been driven away from the factory, though it had been their determination to destroy the machin ery, then assembled in front of the dwelling-house and the large building used for lapping rooms, and , flung showers of stones at windows and doors. After demolishing 210 panes of glass, they went away uttering threats that they would return well armed again, and destroy the factory. Two of the rioters were severely wounded, one receiving a gunshot wound in the jaw, and the other a wound in the hand. The doctor who attended to them has serious appre hensions regarding the life of the one wounded in the jaw. The rioters distributed themselves over the town and when passing the factory of Messrs. Armstrong and Watson, attacked it in like manner, and smashed a great quantity of glass in the windows. They remained in the town till about 9 o'clock, when they left, much to the joy and satisfaction of the inhabitants, who were thrown into a frightful state of alarm by such lawless proceedings. Between 8 and 9 o'clock telegraphic messages were sent to Belfast, Portadown, and Dublin by Mr. Handcock, for police assistance, and at 10 o'clock 20 of the constabulary, unGler the command of Sub-inspector Milling, arrived here, by special train, from Belfast. They were kept under arms all night, but there was no further disturbance. Mr. Malcom, whose establishment has been so wantonly singled out for attack, is a highly respect able manufacturer. lie affords employment to 200 persons in his power-loom factory, and nearly 1,00 weavers, sewers, and hand-spinners in the country daily. and if be were obliged to close his establish ment and give into mob law and violence, the loss would be great to the community.. This morning, at 10 o'clock, the three prisoners namely, Wm. White, Thos. Fugard, and David Lynes—were brought before W. N. Miller, R.M., John Handcock, and John Greer Esqrs., for exa mination. Two of them are charged with being ringleaders. The investigation was private, but re the result was that th e prisoners were sent, p. r train, under a police escort, to Armagh e Gaol, it being unsafe to allow them to be kept, one night in the Lurgan B r id ewe ll . They are remanded for 8 days.—Freeman. • The Paris letters mention two mercantile failures, the firms being Bourdon, Da Buit and Co., and Ponson, Philippe and Vibert. The liabilities, especially of the latter, are rather extensive. THE STA VELEY COLLIERY ACCIDENT.- TWELVE PERSONS SUFFOCATED. STAVELEY, MONDAY AFTERNOON. To the briefdetails of this disaster which appeared in our impression yesterday, w e h ave now to add that the colliery is known as the Hollingwood pit and is the largest at these extensive works, employ ing about 300 men. The men left the pit on Satur day afternoon at four o'clock, when everything ap peared to be safe, the furnace man being the only person left in the colliery. The duties of the furnace man commenced at 6 o'clock and terminated at 6 on Sundaymorning. Whilsthe wasinthepithe thought lie smelt a strong smell ofpowder smoke, but took no notice until another man came to relieve him. At seven o'clock the furnace man was called away by a workman connected with the collery. At four o'clock the same morning a son of Fowkes, a horse keeper, was down the pit, and he noticed some smoke issuing from the lamp room or cabin in the pit bottom. He communicated what he had seen to some other persons, who conveyed the informa tion to Mr. Daniel Cooper, the resident principal underground steward. Mr. Cooper then selected twelve of th e mos t exper i enced men at the works to accompany hi m i n t o t h e pit to put out the fire. They each took a b uc k e t an d d escended the shaft, wheninstructions were given lay Mr. Cooper to Charles Vardy, a deputy, to open some air doors. Vardy had his doubts about the propriety of doing so, but he states that the order was a positive one from Mr. Cooper to do so, which he did, the con sequence of which was to stop the ventilation, and the foul air backed u p th e fi re upon the men' for 700 yards up the incline, and it was necessary then to dam up the air. Before this was done, Mr. Buxton, the underviewer at the Springwell col liery; made several attempts to get to the place of the fire, but he could not get nearer than 700 yards. Now the serious nature of the accident became evi dent, and telegrams were therefore sent to Messrs. Woodhouse and Jeffcock, of Derby, engineers to the colliery, and to Mr. John Hedley, the govern ment inspector of mines for the district, for assist ance. Mr. Woodhouse was in London at the time, and Mr. Jeffcock received the message when in church, and he instantly secured some assistants and proceeded tc Staveley by special train. Mr. Hedley also reached Staveley by the first available train, and immediate measures were taken to arrest the progress of the fire and to extricate the bodies of the sufferers. For the safety of the works the ventilating furnace was allowed to go out, and in order to maintain a current of air water was pumped into the pit by means of two fire-engines. This was accomplished without much difficulty, owing to the proximity of the canal to the colliery. Mr. Jeffock and his assistants and Mr. Hedley pro ceeded down the pit in the afternoon, when it was agread to dam up the incline, and a number of men were set to work for the purpose. After being in several hours they came upon the bank, and at 8 o'clock they went down the pit again to see the progress of the fire and to confine the foul air at the back of the incline. This was effected at ten o'clock on Sunday night, and after it had been com pleted all the workmen were drawn out of the pit to await the result of this measure. Between one and two o'clock this morning Mr. Woodhouse, mining engineer, arrived at the colliery, when Mr. Jeffork, Mr. Hedley, and Mr. Buxton went down the pit and found the air circulating through i , s proper course. Another dam was put in about 900 yards down the inclme. Mr, Woodhouse and Mr. Hedley then held an interview, and tliey went to the bottom of the incline, close to the seat of the fir'. Finding it dangerous to proceed further down they retraced their steps, and between the bottom of the incline hnd the last dam which had heen put in the following bodies were found, quite dead : Daniel Cooper, resident head under-viewer— inarri.Nl, hut no children. AlexAnder Cooper, colliery viewer, brothei to the las -named, who was on a visit to his brother. Akx-inder Scott, manager of the ventilation of the pit—mlrri , id, left a widow and two daughters. Thomas Scott, son of the last named deceised. Joel Walters, deputy—widow, 8 grown up per sons. George Wagstaff, collier—widow, but no family. William Chapman, collier—widow and 8 children. Thomas Truman, lamp-cleaner—married, but no family. The following perscn9 are still in the pit, and no do❑bt is entertained about their lives having been lost : Joseph Corns, collier—married, but no children. Richard Fowkes—horsekeeper. Fowkes, son of the last named. Thomas Scott, collier—unmarried, Win. Truman, collier—married, widow and 7 children. The bodies were found in the position of men escaping from suffocation, and the distance from the first to the last discovered was 200 yards. The bodies were placed in a workshop to await the co roner's inque , t, which was commenced last evening. It being impossible to recover any more bodies at present, Mr. Woodhouse and Mr. Holley held a consultation, and determined to completely dam up the fire in one part of the pit. 'HE ALLEGED HOCUSSING AND ROB BERY OF A CALIFORNIAN DIGGER. Yesterday a very lengthened inquiry took place in the Board-room of St. Jitrnes's Workhouse, before Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, touch ing the death of James Wilson, who was found by the police on Thursday night last, in Regent-street, in adying state. _ The case excited more than ordinary interest, as it was ascertained that the deceased had lately arrived from the California gold diggings, with a very large amount of money in his possession, and that, hayina b been inveigled into bad co m p an y i n London, he had been hocussed, and robbed of all he possessed. The following evidence was adduced : John M'Donald, 135 C division, deposed that on Friday night last he found the deceased lying upon the pavement in Regent-street, in an insen sible state. A stretcher was obtained from the station-house in Vine-street, to which he was con veyed, and Mr. Toth4l, the divisional surgeon, promptly attended to him, but he died during the night. By the Coroner—The deceased was 35 or 40 years of age. He was dressed as a seafarin man. There was Bs. 6d. upon his person and some trifling articles of property. He had a bruise upon the nose. By the Jury—The deceased was seen at a public house in the neighbourhood, in the course of the same afternoon, with some disreputable characters, but I have not been able to trace any of them. Mr. Frederick Tothill, of No. 8, Charles-street, St. James's-square, said be had opened the body of the deceased, and from the appearances he was of opinion death was caused by congestion of the brain, brought on by excessive drinking. Inspector Webb, of the C division, said he had received a letter from the deceased's brother at Brighton, stating that the deceased had been in the police at Hong Kong, in China, and that he after wards went to California. The Jury said they had no doubt the unfortunate man had been hocussed and robbed. Vordict--" Died from disease of the brain brought on by the administration of ardent spirits. HORRIBLE STARVATION OF AN INFANT. Yesterday evening a lengthened investigation took place at the Prince of Orange Tavern, - Victoria-road, Pimlico, before Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, touching the death of Henry Clark Tordoff, an infant twelve months old, which was occasioned by starvation and neglect of the mother, Mary Tordoff, under circum stances of a most unparalleled nature. The body of the unfortunate infant was a mere anatomy, and greatly shocked the jury and all who witnessed it. A great quantity of evidence was brought forward, but the history of the case may be condensed into the follow ing brief statement : The mother of the unfortunate child is a woman of dissolute habits, occupying, at the time of the child's death, a miserable abode in Old Pyestreet, Westmin ster. She was frequently in the practice of leaving the deceased without any food, clothing, or care being taken of it. A few weeks back she was apprehended for the desertion of the child, and sentenced by Mr. Poynter, at the Westminster Police-court, to three months' imprisonment, at which period the poor infant tvas taken to St. Margaret ' s workh ouse i n a most deplor able state, being in a frightfully emaciated condition, house;saa a nd b de coveredhra.enJohn to otahebinnjl withedhLeei object ve xti as e s hpi i c eet, r hre surgeon uhn a r cp n gl edo d e v wrne er m o in S . t.
