MONEY P7,,,knKET D , COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Bhr. CITY, Two o'Crock. - 1 The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed 50 tst quietly, and prices of all descriptions were without any alteration from the quotations current last i 1 week. The sales were estimated at between 3,000 27i and 4,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was 22 dull, and prices were about the same as on Monday. 21 The commercial advices from the United States, per the steamer Canada, mention that It t. . there was great activity in the Money Market, st. the demand having i ncrea sed. Although the so exports of specie to Europe ha d declined 2 2 0 0 the stock held by the City Banks continued to 10 diminish, in consequence of the drain to the South- 10 er a and Western States, where capital was much required. The last City Banks' Return, when corn pared with the previous statements, showed an in- g crease in the loans and discounts of $192,836, and st. the specie had been reduced to the extent of 12 $758,888. During the week ending the 26th ult. the value of the imports of merchandise ex- 10 20 ceeded the exports to the am ount of $63,698. . The market for speculative securities at the latest [0 date was dull and heavy, most of the principal ( t ) . Railway Securities having receded. The accounts s t , from the Brazils, which have just been received, S t t : state that trade at Buenos A y res was firm, and ). most parties engaged in commercial transactions were anxiously awaiting the establishment of Itt the differential duties which will take effect R. next month. From Monte Video we learn St tbiat business was prosperous, and export 12 operations had increased. At Rio there was an 50 ex - ceedingly active demand for money, and the gi rg.te of discount had advanced from Bto 9 per cent. St. On theist of the present month the export duty 2 0 eel coffee was to be advanced from 9to 11 per cent. di •—and as the coming crop is estimated to be smaller 4t than usual, we must expect diminished shipments 2(:) -t ' of this article. 10 Since the receipt of advices b y the Overland 1-;`,4 NCO, recording an advance in the rates of exchange 25 int Bengal and Madras, and which induced the 25 authorities in Leadenhall-street to raise their terms 1 0 t. Oil the respective Presidencies, there has been in- 10 greased firmness in the Silver Market. Yesterday , t. there was a very active demand, and the sum of R. 20,0001. in gold was taken from the Bank of Eng- 6 mid for purchases of that metal effected on the 110 Continent. The rates of exchange for three months 11 c'() on the principal cities of the Continent yesterday 20 afternoon underwent no change of importance. There has been no movement in the market for P: English Securities this morning. The prices are 4 i. Without alteration, and business is dull. Consols St. are 831 I for money, and 9 4 94 for the sth prox. The New 3 per Cents. are 94 to 941 ; the Reduced 931 ; and the New 2i per Cents. 76k. Bank Stock was marked 216 to 211, and East India Stook 219 to 220. Owing to the pressure for Money Exchequer Bills are as low as is. discount, and the Bonds are 98 . In the Foreign Market there has not been much change, the transactions being very limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are quiet at 95, and the 4 per Cents. at 1031. Mexican Stock is 21k, and Peru vian 44per Cents. 78 to 781. Sardinian Bonds 89 to 891, Venezuela 36, and Dutch 2-i per Cents. 64k. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 7 ; Mexi can, 21.# f ; Peruvian, 77i 8/ ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 6 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 4, par Cents., 95 7 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40 401 ; ditto Deferred, 24 4 ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto Passive, al 6. A. very fair business has been transacted in the Railway Share Markets, chiefly in connection with the arrangements for the settlement of the half month's arrears. Prices have, in most instances, shown an upward tendency, more particularly for Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, North Eastern Berwick, which have improved about 15s. Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee, Great Western, Norfolk, and North British, advanced about ss. The French lines are also rather firmer, Central of France and Eastern of France having improved about ss. The Canadian lines have been dull, at about previous values. Joint-Stock Bank Shares rule rather lower. 18 "Union of Australia have receded 10s. to 13s. ; t 8 Bank of Egypt, ss. ; and Australasia, about ss. 20 London and County , an d Ottoman Bank, are A steady. 20 In Miscellaneous Shares there is very little busi- to ness doing.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—(Tms DAY.) (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Mr. Justice Willes.) SECOND DAY. The learned judges took their seats on tho bench at 10 o'clock this morning, when the prisoners Pierce, Burgess, and Tester were placed at the bar. Thomas Sharman, who now keeps the Torrington Arms at Mereworth, Kent, deposed that in October and Novem ber, 1854, he was station clerk at Folkestone, and he then saw Agar and Tester together there. He spoke to them, and went to the Pavilion Hotel with them and had some refreshment. [This witness is the " sedate young man" whom Agar, in his examination yesterday, said he could not corrupt.] By Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—He did not recollect if Tester introduced Agar to him. Hasel, the policeman, had previously cautioned him that Agar was a suspicions cha racter. He went to the Pavilion at Tester's invitation. After he saw Agar he informed Hasel that he thought he was mistaken about him. Mr. G. H. Hasel, inspector of police onthe South-Eastern Railway, deposed that in May, 1854, he was stationed at Folkestone. He saw Pierco and Agar there on several occasions. They walked on the pier and watched the arrival and departure of the boats. He had a reason at that time for watching Pierce more than any ordinary per son. He made a communication to Steer, of the Folke stone police, respecting Agar and Pierce. He saw .Agar in October, 1854, at the booking office. Sharman was in the office making up his money. On the following day he saw him speaking to Tester on the pier, and they after wards walked in the direction of the Pavilion Hotel. Tester left for London the same night. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Most people, when at Folkestone, walked on the pier to see the arrival and departure of the boats. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—There is nothing else to see there. Witness—Not that I know of. (Laughter.) Tester afterwards left the company's employ with a good character, and went on a rail way in Sweden. He did not know if ho surrendered to take his trial for this charge. He did not like the appearance of Agar, and he therefore cautioned Sharman against him. He did not say anything to Tester abput him, because he appeared to know him so well. By Mr. Sergeant Parry—Pierce was ticket printer to the company, and was well known on the line. By Mr. Gifford—Burgess had been in the company's service about 10 or 11 years. Mr. J. Steer; superintendent of Folkestone police, cor roborated Agar's evidence as to his and Pierce's visits to Dover and Folkestone together, and their being on the pier on the arrival and departure of the boats. When ever they saw him they separated aed walked away, par ticularly Agar. On one occasion he saw Burgess with Pierce on Folkestone harbour. Henry Williams was on duty at Dover on the night of the 15th May, when the bullion train arrived. Burgess and Kennedy were the guards. Just before the departure of the up express train, at two o'clock a.m., he noticed two men go through the office. Burgess, Kennedy, and himself were standing together in the office at the time. One was taller than the other; one dark, and the other light complexion. Witness was going to speak to them, but seeing another porter go to them and speak to them he did not do so. They afterwards went on the platform. Witness only issued two tick ets for that train . The two mon above referred to did n ot take tickets. Joseph was on W d iot duty on n t porter night o i f th n thee 15th company's employ— May, 1855. Just E e before the departure of the up 2 o'clock a.m. train, two men with carpet bags, and wearing short cloaks, came on to the platform without taking tickets. From the manner in which they carried the bags they appeared to be heavy. He spoke to them about their tickets, and they produced two Ostend return tickets. One of them gave him money. He asked them if their luggage had passed the Custom house, and they replied that they came over the previous night. Mr. W. Clark, landlord of the Rose Hotel, Dover, de poned that two men—one a tall, dark man, the other a short, light complexioned man, came to his house and had some refreshment, and remained the night. It was in the early part of 1854. They asked the way to Dover, and left in that direction. Robert Olark, waiter at the Dover Castle, Dover, re - collected two men coming to the hotel in May, 1855 ; one was sh-,rter than the other; they left about half-past one o'clock to go by the up two o'clock a.m. express train ; previous to their leaving they had some brandy in a soda. water bottle ; they had bags with them. Matthew Dickinson, policeman, stationed at London bridge—On the night of the 15th May he was a porter. He recollected the arrival of the train at London-bridge at half-past 4 o'clock ; only four passengers, he believed, came by that train. From the carriage he opened two men came out ; one man was taller and of darker complexion than the other. The man who first stepped out of the carriage had a bag with him; he believed they had no other luggage. The one he spoke to 'had on a eaPe, and had dark hair and whisters. The two Men went down the platform together. They declined his offer to proem-6 them a cab. William Woodhouse, a porter on duty on the morning or the 16th May, gave similar evidence to the above wit ness. There was no other luggago in the van that morning. Stephen Jones, guard on the South Eastern Railway, deposed that on the night of the 15th of May Tester came up by his train to London. He had a black leather bag with him. He had seen Pierce and another man four or five times on Folkestone pier. In 1853 he saw Burgess, Pierce, and Agar togetlwr at Stearne's public-house in Tooley-street. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine--He was examined in June, 1855, about the robbery, but he never said anything about the black bag until after Agar's exa mination, which directed his attention to it. He did not see anything unusual about their bag. Mr. Frederick Russell, clerk at the London sta tion of the Greenwich Railway, deposed that one night in May, 1855, Tester came to Vie office about ten o'clock. He said he had co me up from Reigateand he left a black leather bag in the office whilst he w ent somewhere. He returned i n time to go down to Greenwic h ham. Tester by was the not aostt in n r atihne. habit Tester of then v d e o d w a n t h L y e wis last Greenwich train. It was before I heard of the robbery. Tester was married about two months before the robbery. John Perry, night watchman at the Greenwich Railway, a deposed that on the night when Tester left the bag n . the office, he moved it. It felt " lumpy" and heavy, i f a as i stone were in it. Mr. Chubb, of the firm of Chubb and Son, the eminent locksmiths, said they made four bullion chests for the com pany. There were two different locks on each safe. All the right hand locks were the same, and the left handlocks were all alike. This evidence was corroborative of Agar's statement that the robbery was delayed in consequence of some repairs and alterations being made in the locks of the bullion chests. Mr. Knight, successor to Mr. Brown, s uperintendent of the line, deposed that Tester was a clerk in his office. In May, 1855, it was Tester's duty to regulate the guards of the trains. The April guard-list of that year, with the names of Burgess and Kennedy in it, as guards of the mail train for that month, had the words " and Ma? added to it, thereby continuing the April list for the month of May. He called Tester's attention to it, a a he replied it was usual for it to be done. Tester bad no control over the keys of the bullion chest ; they were kept by Mr. Browne, who directed Tester when to use them. He knew of no business of the company requiring Tester's attendance at Folkestone, except on one occasion, in Sep tember, 1854. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine- On two or three occasions in 12 months the guards had been kept on the trains for the second month. Kennedy, the under guard of the train at the time of the robbery, had been on it in March, April, and May. Mr. Matthews, from Messrs. Massey, money-changers. St. Mary Axe, proved that he bought 210 American gold eagles on the 16th May. He gave 2131. 10s. It, was about nine o'clock in the morning that he bought them. He could not identify the man of whom he bought them. He paid for them in English gold at the man's desire. The man appeared tired as if ho had travelled. Mr. R. Brommall, money-changer in the Haymarket, deposed that on the IGth May he purchased 200 American eagles for 2031. Gs. Bd. by cheque on the Union Bank, pay able at the branch at Pall-mall, East. Mr. Alexander White, clerk at the Pall-mall branch of the Union Bank, proved caching the above cheque. Mary Ann Porter proved that she knew Agar in the name of Adams. He lived with her about two years ago in Harleyford-road, Vauxhall. He lived with a female who passed as his wife. Pierce visited Adams in the name of Peckham. The latter assisted Agar when he left to move his furniture. John Honour, hairdresser, of Lambeth-walk, deposed that when Pierce lived in NValnut-tree-walk he 4ressed a d ar k wig for him. It was in November, 1854. Fanny Poland Kay was then called and examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee.—Before I was acquainted with Agar I was engaged in the refreshment room at Tunbridge station. Burgess introduced her to Agar, by whom she had a child. She lived with h im at various places till December 1854, w h en they went to Shepherd's-bush to reside. Previous to that she had seen Agar and Pierce together very often. They appeared to be well acquainted with each other. She did not see Burgess in their company before Agar went to Shepherd's-bush. Pierce went by the n ame o f Peckham. She recollected he r child :ping to be weaned in May, 1855. Ch ar l o tte Painter the n lived with her as a servant. A fortnight after I left on a Sunday she went to see it, and after the death of Mrs....Bessell, her n ex t d oor ne ighbour, on the 18th of M a y , 1855. A few days b e f ore , and a week after Agar was absent all night. It was on the Tuesday or Wednesday. She n ext saw him in the afternoon with Pierce. They came in a cart, and she believed they had two b a gs with them , which they carried into the wash-house. She did not see the bags opened. After that Pierce came May, he and Agar were on th e dfiarsiltyhoo.reshr the eloo2kelltinotf M into it once, and she saw they had the stove out, and a bright fire ; they both ran to the door and ,prevented her going in ; previous to that they had been much in . the wash-house together, when she heard them hammering. They . had drab shooting leather bags. When they were upstairs, she heard a noise like the roaring of a large fire ; she heard that for several days. She saw Pierce bring down from the room what appeared to be square pieces of stone. When they came down . to their meals they appeared hot and dirty, and to her in quiries what they were about, they repl ie d " leather apron weaving." She heard them in their conversation mention Burgess and Tester's name. Afterwards, she noticed that in the upstairs room the stove had been replaced and black ened/ and that the floor was burnt in two places. Pierce and Agar had short cloaks. She had seen Pierce . with more • hair about his face than now, but it was his own. She t e a led Apr', LeL.cim. , , and siEliingller lyd,re he was arrested. Her child then w., , a; Rotherhitl.e with a cousin of his. Some time after he left her she resided in George's-road, and Agar provided for her till the Janu ary following. Ho was to have allow ed her 11. a week, but ho did not do so. In January she went to Pierce's to reside, and remained there till April. She left on account of a disagreement. Agar had two trunks there ; they contained his clothes and tools. She saw his watch, ring, and a set of shift studs there, but no money. She saw in Pierce's possession a bag of sovereigns before she went to live with him. Pierce before that said he had asked Agar for a sovereign, and he refused him, and that sometimes he could get money out of him and sometimes not. Pierce once asked her to lend him a shillin g in 1854. Previous to the robbery Pierce used to have Agar's old clothes. He used to take them away. After the robbery she saw in Pierce's hand a roll of notes. After she left Pierce's house she became distressed, and applied to Pierce for relief. Nr. Sergeant Parry objected to this evidence. Mr. Sergeant Shee—l shall follow it with another. Did she make a statement ? Mr. Baron Martin—l don't think it is evidence. Witness continued—She repeatedly applied to Pierce for money without success, and after that she made a com munication to Mr. Weatherhead, the governor of Newgate, and then to Mr. Rees. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Parry—She was 25 years of age. She left Tunbrige-station in 1852. She was dismissed, but not for dishonesty. She had not lived with any one else than Agar. She knew a person of the name of Tress. She did not consider her conduct had been im proper with him. She knew a person named Hart. She did not live with him. He came to see her in town. He had given her a sovereign or two, but not for an improper purpose. He was no relation of hers. Tress gave her 5/. after she left Tunbridge. She did not know why she was dismissed. She had 12/. a year and her board and lodging at Tunbridge. She was not dismissed from impropriety of conduct at Tunbridge. She knew a gentleman named " Bill Barber." He was under-guard. He never gave her money. She remained at home with her mother about eight months, and she then went to Johnson's-street, Somer's-town, and she had work from Messrs. Crosse and Blackwall's, Soho square. Hart called there and saw her. She lived then with her mother, but Hart, who visited her then, never saw her. It was there she knew Agar as Adam. He left her twice, but not that she was aware of for her drunken habits. She was not in the habit of doing so. When the child was registered and christened she knew Agar's name. That was in July, 1854. She only knew him in the names of Agar and Adams. She knew a person named Hodges. He used to give her money. Ho used to give her a sovereign at a time. He was not with her a long period at a time. She had beau out two nights whilst at Pierce's. She quarrelled with him on account of a letter she had from Agar, and not on account of her drunkenness. She would not swear she had not been brought home there drunk. She did not ie. collect being brought home drunk in a wheelbarrow at Shepherd's-bush, but it might have happened. (Laughter.) She had not been to Portland to see Agar. The Railway Company had supported her since last October. She knew Pierce to be what was called a betting or sporting man. She had not seen him with money he said he had won on races. She never saw him with a betting-book. She would undertake to say she had received 801. of Pierce. She would venture to swear it was not 100/, Mrs. Pierce had only in a friendly way advised her not to get drunk. She had no occasion to complain of her whilst in her 116 use. By Mr. Giffard—She was introduced by Burgess to Agar at the Green Man public-house, Tooley-street. After that she never saw Burgess and Agar together. She did not know till after Agar's conviction that he lived with a per son named Campbell. Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—Hart made hon ourable proposals to me, and after he left Tunbridge she was engaged to him. It was during that time—after her mother's death—that he gave her money. Hodges did not give her money for an im p ro p er purpose. Price saw Agar's letter to her, and said he was mad— he never had any money. She never heard of a sum of 3,0001. being left for her and her child. Mr. Baron Martin—l must certainly know if it be true. Because Agar said he gave to Mr. Wontner 3,0301. to be invested for her and her child. Witness continued—ln the letter she received from Agar he directed, amongst other things, that she was to pur chase a silver cup for her child and Pierce's son, and that Pierce would let her have the money. She never had the money to do it. She was now living with Inspector Thornton. By Mr. Baron Martin—Have you ever heard of 3,0001. being invested for you and your child ? Witness—No,my lord. Mr. Sergeant Parry—lt is in the hands of the railway company. Mr. Bodkin—No, it is not. It is a mistake. Mr. Sergeant Parry—Mr. Wontner made an explanation before the magistrate, and he was ready to explain now if he were to be considered a witness for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant Shoe— Certainly not. Mr. Sergeant Parry—Then I decline to put him in the box. Mr. Baron Martin—Yoa must take your own course. Mr. Sergeant Shee—l wont take advantage of Mr. Wont nor's statement to claim a reply. Mr. Sergeant Parry—Then, as your lordship wishes to have the matter explained, 1 will call him. Mr. Baron Martin—l have ro wish for it being done personally. If the money is invested for her, she ought to have it forwarded. The Crown had no claim on it. Mr. Wontner—But, your lordship, I think, after what has transpired, that I ought to have an opportunity of explaining. Mr. Baron Martin—l think you should, Mr. Wontner. Mr. Wontner—Agar, whom I defended, had had a sum of 3,0001. invested for a considerable period in the 3 per cents., and at his request I sold it out, realising 2,7001. for it. A number of payments were made out of the money realised, which reduced it to 2,500/. Agar sent me a writ ten order, which I acted on, and paid the money over to Pierce as requested, which he has invested in Turkish Bonds. The Bonds have been seized by the prosecution, and they are now in their possession. I have taken the trouble to trace out the notes paid to Pierce and the notes with which he purchased the Turkish Bonds, and I find they correspond. lam prepared to produce the documents in reference to the transaction. , Agar was then recalled at the tequest of Mr. Serjeant ..Ballantirte. and said that Pigrce communicated to him that he had heara from Tester that one of the keys of the safe on board the Folkestone boat was lost. Witness was not on board the boat when the key was lost. Evidence was then called to prove that Agar and Pierce had been driven by cabmen to St. Thomas-street several times previous to the robbery, and also that Burgess, Pierce. and Agar were frequently together before the robbery. Mr. Stearns was also called and proved that he kept the White Hart in St. Thomas-street previous to May, 1855, and that Burgess and Pierce frequented his house. He had seen Agar there, but he could not say when it was, in companywith Pierce and Burgess. He proved that he received from the barman a parcel that had been left them for Burgess, and his calling for it when it was pro duced and opened to him. Ho then gave witness 5001. to invest for him. As Burgess objected to deposit it at a banker's, witness lodged it at his brewer's, Messrs. Reed and Co., who paid him interest for it, which he handed over to Burgess. Mr. Lee, of Charles-street, Camberwell, stock-jobber, said he knew the three prisoners at the bar, and was in the habit of meeting them at Stearnes'. He purchased five hundred pounds' worth of Turkish Bonds for Burgess in Jan., 1856. He paid 4071. lOs. for them- 4051. in notes and 21. lOs. in gold—which he obtained from Mrs. Burgess by Burgess's direction. He paid them over to Mr. Hutchinson, a broker. In answer to questions from the learned counsel, witness said that he afterwards sold the Turkish bonds for Burgess, and realised about 501. by the transaction. Mr. Bailey, cashier in the Bank of England, said that on the 28th of May six 100/. notes were paid out of the Bank in the name of Edgington for gold. One of the 103/. notes came in on the 11th of Sept., with Tester's name and address on it. Witness produced other notes, which it was proved had passed through the pri s o ner ' s hands, and the dates at which they were paid into the bank. George Raffin, fruiterer, of Warren-street, Fitzroy square, proved that he changed a 1001. for Pierce, through Mr. Fisher, of Leicester-square. He put his name on it, and the one produced was the same. He also changed various notes at the Bank of England for Pierce. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—When he changed the notes for Pierce he was in his employ at 30s. a week wages. He was in his employ about 12 months. He kept a betting shop, and had considerable betting tran sactions. Witness had never changed other notes for him. Witness took notes for him in business, and he had seen considerable sums— more than 2001.-'--in his possession at a time. Pierce used to go the racing circuits. (Laughter.) Re-examined—Pierce was living in Crown-terrace when he saw so much money in his possession. It was in the spring time of 1855. He did not tell him how he got the money. Witness took a pair of boots out of pledge for him early in the spring of 1855. By Mr. Sergeant Parry—ln 1855 he was engaged with Pierce at the Boar's Head in making up a betting book with him to the extent of about 100/. It was the time when Saucebox won the St. Leger. Mr. Smith, cashier to Messrs. Reed and Co., proved re ceiving the notes from Mr. gtearne. He afterwards paid them into Messrs. Roberts and Co.'s. Mr. Young proved purchasing Spanish bonds for Agar in August, 1854, in the name of Adanis. Mr. Forrester, stockbroker, when clerk to Mr. Shaw, Tester was introduced to him by his father. In January, 1856, he sold out two bonds by direction of Mr. W. Tester, the prisoner's father. Some further evidence having been adduced, the Court again adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) SOUTHWARK. C O NVICTION OF L N IMPUDENT SHOPLIFTER.--Margaret Connor, an impudent -looking, female, well known to the tradesmen in the district of this court as a '‘ moucher," was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing a fancy cap, the property of Messrs. Hunt and Co., drapers, No. 60, Grange-road, Bermondsey. James Ellison, assistant to the p r osecutors, stated that about six o'clock o n the previous evening the pri soner came into the shop and asked to be shown some fancy caps, as she wanted to purchase some. Witness placed several before her, from which she selected one, and having put it on her head she exclaimed, " That will just suit me, I'll have that." She then went towards the door, and was about to run into the street, when he jumped over the counter and stopped her. He then asked her to give up the cap, and on her refusing to do so he detained her until a constable came up, when he gave her into custod v. Police-constable 61 M said he was passing the pro secutors' sbop shortly after six last evening, when he saw last witness struggling with the prisoner, whom he gave into custody for stealing a cap. Witness found the cap produced on her head, and it was with some diffi culty that he could take it from her. Mr. Combe asked her whether she would prefer being tried by him or going to the sessions for trial I She replied she would sooner have it settled at once. The magistrate asked what was known of her I . Sergeant Raymond, the acting-inspector on duty, informed his worship that she was in custody for steal ing two saveloys from a shop in the Borough ; but she was discharged owing to the absenc e of the pro secutor. She was also well known as going into lioe. it. n sed victuallers and calling for drink, wh ich she qnickly poured down her throat and then refu sed to pay for In fact, she was a regular ~ moucher." (Laughter.) Mr. Combo said that he should take care she did not icarry on such tricks for some time to come. She must be committed to the House of Correction for three months with bard labour. THE BRAZILS. _ SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY EVENING. We have just received, per railway fr,iin Wareham, our advices and papers brought by the Tyne steamer , Capt. W. Valler, which unfortunately grounded this morning off St. Alban's Head, on the coast of Dorset shire, as detailed in another column. The dates by this steamer are fromßuenosAyres, Dec. 2 ; Monte Video, 5 ; Rio de Janeiro, 16 ; Bahia, 20 ; Pernambuco, 23 ; St. Vincent (Cape Verde), 31 ; Teneriffe, Jan. 5 ; Funchal (Madeira), 6 ; and Lisbon, 9. The Tyne has 55 passengers, among whom are Com mander Otway, RN,, from Rio ; Mr. Pecher, Belgian Consul-General, from Rio ; Mr. Lilley, American Consul, from Valparaiso ; and Dr. Ackland, from Madeira. She brings specie from Monte Video, value sterling, 401., and from other ports 1,1021. ; diamonds, value sterling. 32, 548/., and jewellery,value 56/.,being a total of valuahh I of 33,746 1 . The cargo consisted of 425 bales cochineal, 255 barrels tapioca, and 140 packages sundries, and she has also two South American lions for the Royal Zoolo gical Society. On the outward voyage the Tyne experi enced flue weather and smooth seas, but on her passage home she met with head winds throughout the passage. A complimentary address was presented to the captain on her outward voyage, signed by 80 of the passengers. Oar advices from Buenos Ayres state that trade had been good, chiefly in anticipation of the differential duties to come into operation in Feb., 1857. Opinions were very much divided as to what would be the result of this meagre. The most prevalent opinion, however, was that it would fall to the ground. Hides and all pi oduce had an upward tendency. The wool clip was nearly finished, and was expected to be of superior quality and very abundant. The election of governor was beginning to give rise to considerable discussiou, opinions being divided between Gen. Escalada and Dr. Torres. The Rio Uruguay steamer, from Paraguay to Buenos Ayres, struck on a snag and sank 80 miles from Ascension ; passengers and crew saved. Exchange, 68.3., with an up• ward tendency. Doubloons, 333 to 335 paper dollars each. At Monte Video the election of senators had taken place on the 30th Nov., and, although Don Manuel Oribe had given his influence in opposition to the Government, all passed off quietly, the Government being triumphant. It was rumoured, however, that Don Manuel Oribe would be banished from the country, in order that his influence might not preponderate on any future occasion. The country was in a very prosperous state, and business good. Exports were on the increase, as several saladeros had commenced operations. Hides had advanced in price. Erichange, 4s. 20. to 4s. 2d. From Rio we have advices to Dec. 15. There had been a great tightness in the money-market. The Bank of Brazil had raised the rate of discount from 8 to 9 per cent., and even so discounted but insignificant amounts. Out of the bank the rate of discount was generally 11 per cent. In consequence of this pressure, and of very considerable purchases of coffee, exchanges had under gone great fluctuations since the 13th ult. On London the rate opened at 27i, 274, and suddenly advanced to 28, 281, at 60 and 90 days. The transactions upon London were 751,0001., generally at 28d. Prices of coffee declined 150 reis. Green good first was very scarce, and eagerly sought after at 4,550 and 4,600 reis. Sales since the 12th ult., 282,900 ba g s, of which 169,50 0 were for the States, 70,900 for the Channel and North of Europe, and 42,500 for the Mediterranean. Freights-for the Channel, Hamburg, Antwerp, and Marseilles, 60s. to 655. ; States, 90c. to 100 c. Stock of coffee, 100,000 bags, badly assorted ; market very firm, with upward tendency. Exchange-on France, 340 reis ; on Hamburg 645 to 653 retie 90 days'. The accounts received from the interior of the country represent the coming crop as being only one-third of the present one, and the highest estimates do not exceed 1,300,000 bags. The law raising the export duty on coffee from 9 to 14 per cent. was to come into operation on the Ist January. The following is extracted from the latest Rio price current :- " Coffee-We noticed in the postscript of our last circular of the 13th ult. a sale of 10,000 bags. Another of 15,000 bags was closed on the following day, both at the rates thee quoted. In consequence of symptoms of an approaching tightness in the money market, concur rent with an upward tendency of the exchange, business remained suspended until the 19th, when a decline of 100 re. brought forward buyers, and 48,000 bags were disposed of from that date to the 21st. Abundant sup plies in the latter part of the past month, higher freights, and an advancing exchange, compelled dealers is submit to a f labor decline, which at the close of the month had reached to 200 re. on the quotations of the 12th ult. Calculating the higher figure of freights and exchange, as also the difference in quality, which has continued to fall off in the past two months, the present cost of the article on board in sterling barely differs from that of previous shipments. Notwith standing the flat accounts which we continue to receive from the United States, as well as from Europe, our market has since the let inst. exhibited great great acts vity, occasioned in some measure by the requirements for engaged vessels, as also from the expectation of an improvement in places of consumption, so soon as the money crisis in Europe subsides. Sold since the 12th ult. to date 282,900 bags, of which 169,500 for the United States, 70,900 for the Channel and North of Europe, 42,500 for the Mediterranean. Stock 100,000 bags offering, but very little choice, chiefly of the green descriptions, which would fetch 10Ors. above quotations. " Sugar.--Prices have been on the decline. Supplies from Campos :-2,084 capes, 6,543 bags and barrels. From the North :-64 cas,:s, 5,082 bags and barrels. Sales, nearly all for consumption, 832 a tses, 5,737 pack ages of the former at quotations; 352 cases, 3,003 pack ages of the latter at 4 dole. to 4 400 white, and 3 dols. to 3 200 brown. Stock of both, 2,557 cases, 4,685 bags and barrels. " Hides.-Arrived from Rio Grande, 1,295; sales, 1,500 inferior quality, at 300 rs. to 330 re. ; stock, 500 to 600. "Stock, under the influence of the tight money mar ket, had receded to 102 per cent., but has now recovered to 1021 to 103 per cent. " Freights were quoted-England,' 50s. ; English Channel, 60s. to 655. ; Antwerp, 60s. to 65'. ; Ham burg, 6es. to 655. ; Mediterranean, 60e. to 655. ; United States, 90c. to 100 c. ; Havre de Grace, 60f." The following is a summary of the Bahia markets :- Imports.-Ale and Porter-Sales effected at 5 dole. 400 per doz. quart bottles, 6 dols. 800 for pints, regular quality ; superior at 6 dole. quarts and 7 dots. 200 for pints. Beef (jerked)-No arrivals ' • prices looking down, as supplies are hourly exp ected ; last sales, 5 dole. 600 to 6 dole. per arroba.

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-PROCEEDINGS AGAINST A SHAREHOLDER. Mr. Grant, a solicitor, applied to his Honour for an order upon the assignees to allow him to peruse the deed of settlement of the Company, in order to ascertain who was the attesting witness to the signature of a party who was alleged to be a shareholder. Mr. Linklater, on the part of the assignees, said that the objection to produce the deed was that this was a case in which an individual creditor had taken pro ceedings against an individual shareholder, and the assignees did not consider that, as it was not for the general benefit, they ought to afford any facilities ; besides which a scheme had been got up by which it was hoped that a large sem of money would be raised, so as to prevent the ruinous and undue pre-sure on individual shareholders. The assignees were, however, entirely in the hands of the Court, and if his Honour so directed, the deed should be produced; but if not, the assignees must leave Mr. Grant to take the usual steps to compel the production of the deed. `Zr. Grant said that would be when it was too late, as Evans summons was coming on before Mr. Com missioner fu n: to-morrow. He hoped that his Honour would, I furtherance of justice, order that the deed should be produced. - His Honour said that as the assignees did not consent, and as the proceedings appeared to be rather adverse to the bankruptcy, he did net think the party was entitled. Mr. Grant said his client had proved his debt under the bankruptcy. His Honour—And he is now taking proceedings for his own benefit ulterior of the bankruptcy, therefore I do not think I ought to interfere with the discretion of the assignees, and must leave the matter to take its course. Mr. Linklater said the only motive of the assignees was to act for the benefit of all the parties intoresto4 ~. !raid ;IGN. all ‘atworpezßott rd, m 10 Ardennes . all ilelgian Es.stn.

AMERICA. A bill is before the Arkansas Legislature to com pel all free negroes to leave the State, under pen ally of immediate sale into slavery for life. A bill allowing negroes, Indians, and mulattoes, to give evidence in cases where white persons are parties, has passed the Senate branch of the lowa Legis lature by a vote of 19 to 18. A bill to " encourage and promote matrimony" has been introduced into the Legislature of North Carolina. The following paragraphs contain the latest in telligence respecting the slave excitement in the South. The Marlborough, Advocate says:— " Two slaves, the property of Mr. Henry Danger field, were arrested and committed to gaol on Friday last, and on Sunday five others were also committed. Those first arrested are said to have given some infor mation, or to have made some disclosures, concerni n g an insurrection on which public apprehension appears to be based. In consequence of these circumstances public meetings of the citizens of this district were held on Saturday and Monday last for the organisation of patrols, and for taking other action in the premises." The Berryville (Virginia) Gazette has the follow ing : " Just before going to press three slaves—Joe, Tom, and Vincent—the property of Mrs. George L. Kerfoot, near Millwood, and a free negro, named Alfred Thomp son, have been lodged in our gaol for attempting insur rection. We learn that these negroes expressed them selves before the ju s ti ce w ho committed them as familiar with a plot of insurrection to commence in our country, and also at Harper's Ferry, two months from the first of November last ; and, further, that they had heard white men and negroes talking if Fremont was elected they would be free, and, as they knew he was not, they were prepared to fight for it, and threatened the lives of two of our most worthy citizens as the first they in tended to take." A letter from Jackson, Mississippi, dated the 21st, says " Our town is in a perfect state of excitement to-day in consequence of rumours of an intended negro insur rection, to take place during the holidays. " The mayor has issued a proclamation calling upon the citizens to organise and prepare to crush the insur rection in its bud. "Twenty-seven negroes have been arrested this morn ing. The extent of the plot is not known. Feelings of doubt and anxiety are universal. " Our citizens are in a fearful state of excitement. The particulars of this excitement are hard to obtain ; and, although universal, the origin and foundation are very difficult to ascertain. "Rumours from Canton, Mississippi, also have reached us of a similar state of affairs. " How far North Alabama may be in danger we can not say with certainty, but there are rumours of rebel lion in that quarter." A telegraphic communication from Louisville, Kentucky, under date the 29th of December, says : f here was great excitement at the Court-house here on Saturday, in consequence of the examination of the negroes who are charged with murdering the Joyce family. William Joyce, a brother, proposed that the negroes b© burnt, to which the crowd re-ponded Aye,' but they were finally quieted by the Court, and the negroes remanded to prison. The presumptive evidence against the negroes is strong, but there is nothing direct against them save the confession of one of their number. New Orleans papers, received at Baltimore, con tain despatches from Mississippi and Northern Alabama, giving reports of slave excitement at Jackso-1 and Canton, Mississippi. Great alarm pre vailed and a number of negroes had been arrested. A Tennessee paper states that Senator Bell loses about 10,000 dols. by the insurrection panic. Four of his negroes in his absence were hung by one of the local courts, and five more afterwards by the mob, without judge or jury. Yet there seems to have been little or no evidence to inculpate them. Huntington, the forger, had been found guilty, and sentenced to four years and 10 months' impri sonment in the New York State prison. The appearance of the would-be Filibusters who had left New York in the steam-ship Tennessee did not promise to afford Walker much material aid on their arrival in Central America. They are described as few in number, but with their spirits up from having poured large libations of spirits down, and almost ready to do anything but remain quiet. The steam-ship Adye, with 50 additional Filibusters, including General Wheal, had arrived at Norfolk to take up the passengers of the Ten nessee. The New York Tribune says that the text of the last Central American treaty which appeared in the Times, extracted from the New York _Herald, was surreptitiously obtained. Of the treaty the &IMO journal says : " This treaty is one of very grave character. It has no parallel in the past diplomacy of our Government but that negotiated between Messrs. Clayton and Bul wer, which it far outvies in all that rendered that instrument remarkable. Its recognition of the Mos quito savages as au independent Power, with a large extent of territory ; its stipulations that our Govern ment, in connection with that of Great Britain, shall undertake to settle the reciprocal limits of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Mosquito ; its singular and compli cated provisions with respect to Greytown or San Juan de Nicaragua; its express recognition of British Hon duras and attempts to define her boundaries, are at least far out of the ordinary course of our diplomacy, contrast strongly with our current jeers at British as sumption with regard to Mosquito, and are just such as none other than a Democratic Administration could reasonably hope to carry through the Senate and sus tain before the country. On the whole, we are inclined to approve and uphold this treaty, though not without misgivings that it will ultimately involve us in worse complications than those it resolves. We consider its stipulations in the main fair and equal, though en tangling, and we are inclined rather to regret that exigencies exist which demand such a treaty than to complain that those exigencies have not been more wisely met." The Illinois had arrived at New York with the Californian mails of the sth ult. and $1,671,569 in specie on freight. The total vote of the State for President was 107,377, of which Buchanan had 51,925 ; Fillmore, 35,113 ; and Fremont, 20,339, giving a plurality of Fillmore and Fremont over Buchanan of 3,527. The advices from Panama are to the 19th of December. According to the Star the blockade of all the New Granada ports was to be enforced. The same paper asserts that the object of Admiral Bruce's visit to Panama was to examine the prac ticability of establishing a British naval depot in the Bay of Panama, in order that the British fleet in the Pacific, now principally steamers, may re ceive their coal across the Isthmus. The officers of the Monarch were surveying the harbour at the Island of Tobago. The United States' Government, it says, has also been thinking of taking a similar step. The Esk had sailed for Acapulco, touching at the Central American ports. THE PENINSULAR MAILS• SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, 91. 3 G The Madrid steamer, Capt.

In prices, however, compared with Monday, no change took place. Over 7,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand this week. Fine dry samples sold at full quotations, but secondary kinds were very dull. Floating cargoes were in fair demand. We had a steady demand for barley, and prices were well supported. Malt sold steadily, at full quotations. There was a moderate inquiry for oats, at fully late rates. Beans, peas, and flour wero quite as dear as on Monday. ARRIVALS THIS WANK. ' Barley.
