Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, but firmly, and prices of all descriptions were per lb dearer than last week. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 1 ,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 400 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed steadily at firm rates. During the.present weak the business transacted 111P °reign and C o l on i a l pro d uce h as b ee n limited ; but it is only right to remark that the same dull lies; Which is usual at this season of the year, bas extended to all branches of trade. The current Price s of most of the principal articles of con sumption, although in many instances much lower f tlan they were a month ago, are still considered " b °3 high, and the demand is consequently kept in : eel:.

He put his hand in his pocket and took out same silver and a sovereign. He was looking out a sixpence from among the silver, when the prisoner snatched the sovereign from his hand, and put it in her mouth. He asked her to return it, and she said she would not do so, until be gave her a half crown. He refused to comply with her demand, and she said, "Here goes," and suddenly swallowed the sovereign. Mr. Sdfe—Were you sober Witness—As sober as I am now. The pi ironer, in defence, said the sailor gave her the sovereign, and she swallowed it accidentally. Mr. Sella —You must find the money or the value:of it. The prisoner—He gave me the sovereign. Mr. Selfe—Wll, , ,t f or The prisoner—To stop with we all night.

PIIESEEVATION OF LIFE FROM SIIIIIVRECK.—Yester day a meeting of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was held at its house, John -street, Adelphi ; Captain L. Pvrrott in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, the silver medal and 2/. were voted respectively to Wm. Wedge and Jas. Turpin, com mission boatmen of the Coastguard at Salcombe, Devor, and to Thos. D, Warder, boatman, in acknowledgment of their gallant conduct iu putting off in a small boat in a heavy sea, at the imminent risk of their lives, and retcu irg two out of three men who were capsized from their fisising boat od Bentham Bar, on the night of the 27th instant. A. reward of 61. was also granted to three Coastguard men for .putting off in a small boat and rescuing, at the imminent risk of their lives, f 'mr out of five persons who had been in a heavy sea capsized from their boat off Port Rush, on the coast of Antrim, on ' the 22.1 of July ; after they were rescued the little boat again put off and succeeded in bringing in the cap siz-td boat. A reward of 6/. was likewise granted to six fishermen for rescuing, at the peril of their lives, two out of four persona who had been cap , .izei duri ng a su dd en and heavy equal' of wind from their bunt off Haiunaroe, Shetland, a few weeks since. It appeared that while the boat was fishing the wind suddenly rose to a strong gale, acconipained by a sudden squall off the land, which cap sizsd the boat before her crew of four men were able to take in her sail. They were plunged into the sea ; two of them were happily saved it clinging t o th e i r b oat, a'though twice washed from t ; two others sank to rise no more. 'Much risk was incurred in the r escue o f th e two men isni bo u r cl lle, and thenast"couldnly be approached after the sea quickly snatched from their very dangerous situation. The loss of life among the She land fi,hertnen this year has been unusually great. No doubt many of these accidents, which have caused the greatest misery among the families of these poor but deserving men, have been caused f rom the de fective coustruction of their fishing boat, and the unskil ful manner with which we fear tuev are to o f ri queotiv han dled in the hour of peril.

DISRAELI'S SPEECH ON THE MUTINIES.—The Free Press publishes a corresporideoce between a gentle man residing at Manchester and Mr. Disraeli, re:aive to a pa-isage in the right hen. gentleman's speech on the Indian mutinies, which, as published in the Times, occasioned much remark at the time. Mr Disraeir's correspondent wrote :—" In the Times' report of your remarkable speech on the state of affairs in India I find the following passage wish to show to Europe and to Asia, that it is not the desire of a Parliament to ova.- throw a ministry to save an empire.' May I ingoire from you whether you are correcly reported in that paper, seeing that the Daily News inserts the word but' to the words 'to save an empire.' which materi ally alters the sense of the passage ?" Mr. Disraeli wrote the following reply :—" Your version is the cor rect one. The omission (probably mechanical) of the monosyllable in the Times was, I thought, so obvious, that I took no steps to notice it.—l have the ! honour to be, Sir, your obedient serva nt, B, DISRAELI 25 12A 121 20 BTANCO.NrS CARS. In the section of Economic Science, at the meet• ing of the British Association in Dublin, Mr. O. Bianconi read the following comm u nication on Bianconi's Cars : Referring to the synopsis of my establishment, submitted in a cmcise form to your association at its session in Cork, in 1843, I now take the liberty of stibmit:ing some further paxtieulars, embracing its origin, with its present condition, and the ex tent of its operations. My est abli-htnent ortinated immediately after the pe tee of 1815, having then had the a,dvan•age of a supply of,first-cla4s hors( s, intended for the army, and raing in price from ttn to twenty pounds eacn, one of which drew a car and j six persons with ease 7 miles an hour. Th- demand for such horsrs having ceased, the breeding of them naturally diminished, and after some time, I found it necessary to put two inferior horses to do the work of one. Findiit I thus had extra horse power, I increased the size of the car, which held six passengers—!hree on each side—to one capable of carrying eight, and in proportion as the breed of horses improved I continued to increase the size of the cars for summer work, and to, add to the number of horses in winter for the conveyance of the sam3 number of passengers, until I converted the two-wheeled two-horse corn into four wheeled cars, drawn by two, three, or four horses, according to the tr.,ffic on the reseective roads and the wants of the public. This freedom of communication has greatly added to the eleva tion of the lower classes ; for, in proportion as they found -.hat travelling by car, with a saving of time, was cheaper ?kin walking with a loss of it, they be gan to appreciate the value of speedy et mrnunica t ion, and hence have been, to an almost incalculable extent, travellers by my cars, wheremixing with the better orders of Aociety,•their own moral elevation has been of a decided charm er. As the estatlish ment extended I was surpr sad and deligh•ed at its commercial and moral importance. I found, as soon as I had opened communication with the interior, the consumption of manufactured goods has greatly increased. The competition of parties availing themselves of the facilities of travelling was so g eat, that insiead of buying at second hand, after many profits, they were enabled to obtain the sup plies nearer the manufacturer—in the more remote parts of Ireland. For instance, on my opening the communication from Tralee b Cahireivoen in the south, Galway to Clifden in the west, and Balliea Bohnullet, in the northwest purchasers were obligel to give Bd. or • 9cl. a yard for calico for shirts subsequently sold for 3d; and 4d , thus en abling that portion of the population who could previously bully afford only one shirt each, to have two for a less price than was paid for one, and in the same ratio other commodities came into general use at reduced prices. Tue formation of my first car, conveying passengers back to back, on the principle of the outside car—now so much used in Dublin—was admirably adapted to its purposes, and it frequently happened that, whilst on one side were sitting some of the higher classes, persons as opposite in pOsition were seated,on the other. Not only was this unacoropariied with any inconvenience, but its effects were salutary, as many who hail no status were, by coming into casual communication with the educated classes, inspired with the importance of, and respect for, social posi tion. The growth of railways neessarily affected my establishweut, and diminished its opera:jolts, by withdrawing from it 10 two-wheelel cars, tra velling daily 450 miles ; 22 four-wheeled ears, tra velling daily 1,620 miles; 5 coaches, travelling daily 376 miles—making a total failing off of 37 vehicle', travelling daily 2,452 miles. Notwithstanding this falling off, the consequent result of the extension of railway., I still have over 900 horses, working 35 two-wheeled cars, travelling daily 1,75:2 miles; 22 four-wheeled cars, travelling daily 1,500 miles ; 10 coaches, travelling daily 992 miles—making 67 con veyances travelling daily 4,244 miles, and extending over portions of 22 counties, viz., Cork, Clare Car low, Civan, Donegal, Fermanagh, Galway, Clare, Kilkenny, Kerry, Limerick, Longford, Roscommon, Leitrim, Mayo, Queen's County, Sligo, Tipperary, Tyrone, Waterford, Wexford, and Westmeath. Anxious to aid as well as I could the resources of the country, many of which lay so long unproduc tive, I u , ed this establishment, as far as possible; to effect so desirable au object. For instance, I, enabled fishermen on the western coast to avail themselves of a rapid transit fur their fresh fish, which, being a very perishable article, would be comparatively profitless unless its conveyance to Dublin and of er suitalie markets could be insured within a given time, so that those engaged at the fisheries at Clifleu, Westport, and other places, sending their produce by my conveyances in one day could rely on its reaching its destination on the following morning, additional horses and special conveyances being provided and put on in the .pro per seasons. The amount realised by this valuable traffic is almost incredible, and has largely contri buted to the comfort and indeper dance now so hap pily contrasting with the lamentable condition the west of Ireland presented a few years since. I shall conclude by two observations, which, I think,- illus trate the increasing prosperity of the c iuntry and the progress of the people. First, although the population has so considerably decreased by emi gration and other causes, the proportion of travel lers by my conveyance is greater—thus demonstrat ing that t':e r er)ple appreciate not only the money value of time, but also the advantages of an estab lishment designed and worked t r their particular use and development, now 42 years in operation. Secondly, the peaceable and high moral ,bearing of the Irish people, which can only be known and duly appreciated by those who live amongst them, and who have, as I have had, long and constant in terceurse with them. I have therrfore been equally surprised wad pained to observe in portions of the respectable press, both in England and Ireland, re pealed attacks on the morality of our population, charging them with a proneness to violate the law and with a disregard of private property ; but as one fact is worth a thousand assertions, I offer, in contradic tion of these statements this indisputable fact :—My conveyances, many of them c it rying vety important mai's, have I:) , en travelliue during all hours of tee day as d night, often in lonely and unfrequented places, and during the long period of forty two years that my estabishmeut is now in exist ence, the slightest injury has never been done by the people to my property, or that entrusted t.i my care; and this fact gives me greater pleasure than any pride I might feel in reflecting upon the o:her rewards of my life's labour. Mr. NEWMARCH observed that since the intro duction of railways, the dt.mand for cars t) convey persons short distances had been greatly increased, and as a ,consequeace the nurnler of persons em ployed as drivers and ostlers was much greater than before, as was also the extent of land brought under cultivation for the purpose of meeting an in creased demand for oats. Mr. W. PARR asked Mr. Bianconi whether, ac cording to 1).;s experience, the working of a horse more than ten miles a d .y for each day in the week would be injurious to it ? •Mr. BIANCONI said he found by experience that he could work a horse eight miles a day, for six days in the week, much better than six miles a day for seven days in the week ; so that by not work ing on Sundays he effected a saving of 7 per cent. FRE VCII AND ENGLISH FISHERHPN. On Wednesday the North Shields magistrates held a long inquiry in the Town-hall into a charge preferred by William Terripletnan, a Tyne fisher man, and his boat's crew, against Pierre Charles Lohelclor, master of the French fishing lugger No. 274, of Boulogne, of haVing been guilty of an in fraction of the fishing re rations by fishing within three miles of the NVrhumberland coast, and damaging his (Templemites) nets ; there was also a second cha,rge of assail& Mr. Kewney, of the town-clerk's office, proseCuted. As the reader is aware, a great number of heavily manned luggers from the northern ports of France pursued the herring fishery in the North Sea. There is a con vention with France prohibiting the fishermen of either country from fishing within three miles of their neighb cur's coast. The regulations are strictly enforce 1 upon the coast of France, but until this se tson the British Admiralty has been very re -_- gar& ss f the interests of their fishermen, and down upon the . north-east coast, where suffered men fish in small cobles, they have t fearfully through the French bonads sweeping scoming within the prescribed boundary mile an a their nets away. On Sa.turw_L-iianmaorning last Templeman's boat was fisban n ° oast when the defen half of the Northumber l anddcarried away the greater dant shot within him p trt of his pets, and "43 1 n the men belonging to the cold' their number, ant one of them alon.grideutif the lug° . r the Frenchmen attempted to e the ',umber, but upon tr'e ito knock Temp eman into the sea. The Eng lishmen, however, secured 2 were chased by five of the luz.- g ptillino• away hey er, ties in a boat, who tried to sink Clem, and failing to du that, b. iug five to three, they beat and ill-used them. Tempi-man upon rtaehing land st,ught out Lit utenant Simison, who is the elast with the Ot er steam cruiser, who imme diately went in search of the lugger, awl captured it off the Durham ceast, bringing it and the crew into the Tyne. Templernan swore that_ he was in 10 fathoms water when the Frenchman shot inside of him ; the Frenchmen swore that they were within 25 fathoms, but even in 25 fathoms they were wit hitt three miles of the shore. The Bench, after a very careful inquiry into the facts of the case, adjudged that th e defendant pay the plaintiff 281 . damage and los., or have his vend detained in port fout mouths. EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL IN ALGERIA. A trial. of extraordinary character,- and likely to be fraught with important consequences, has just teen concluded in Algeria. So sparingly 'has public attention been generally - at'racted to the internal affairs of that African c Bony thst the Parisians Veinselves appear taken by surprise it the parti culars reve:ded, and Vie subj:ct has now lir some weeks been disetiv.ed wit :r and once s;ng interest on the other side of the Channel. It is now almost a twelvemonth ago—tint is to say, it was on the 12th of as September—that a public conveyance sta , ted in the middle of th3niulit from. Tlemc-n for Oran, two towns at no great distarice from each other in the western districts of Algera. It was attacked on the road by armed .men, exteflyi as might have been the cese in Spain er Mexico, and, among other casualties, one cif the p tsseng- re, an Arab chief of censiiieration, styled the Aga Ben Abdallith, was shot dead, His widiw, who had previously lose three other limb =nd e and all by deaths equidly violent, raised an Oriental clamour, at this climax of her woe,, lo tded. ht r , elf with chains, tore her garm-rys and her hair, and pub icly demanded vengeance at the hands cif the Gevern meur. After seine ineffectual inquiries the aeroci y was at length laid to the charge of a French ofiker —Captain Doineau, who; wite soma 18 Arab accein plices, was put to the bar at the Court of ASSI73 at Oran to answer for the crime. The proceedings which ensued were singular in the extreme. Th 3 mixture elicited in the depositions of civilize,' iou and barbarism, & Arab manners and French adminis tration, of military rule and civil procedure, presents a picture so discordant in its fea, urns as to les almost bewildering. The first fact in the case, inclead—t hat of a bona.fideArief of the Desert—the r. algenuinc e Sheik of the BeniSuous, having me: his de..th, not on herse back or under a tent, but in the coupe of a diligence, is a suggestive specimen of the int:Mews which fol lowed. When we say that the principal witue3sts against the chi-f culprit were those who stood ac cused of the same crime, and that they perpetually contradicted themselves and each other, we shall have said enough to excuse ourselves from entering upon the judicial portion of tin niirrative any fur-, ther than to add that a conviction has been ob tained. Even the incidental disclosures produced by the trial will not create quite so much astonish ' ment in England as they steal to have done in France. It appeared in the evidence that the military Beards of Administration iu the colony, at the lead of one of which had been Doinean himself, had exercised an authority transcending in its rigour and its despotism even the recogni,ed severities of inattial law. Summary executions were spolen of _ as notorious transaction; and in certain districts of the colony the military administra' ors pronounced their duress, even in matters of life and death, without so much as the form of trial. We trust we may assume that in no Briiish dependency have the abuses . of colonial rule everbeen pushed to such a length as this ; but, as we ere colt raisers by in stiect, as we ice() w vesat it is te maintain authority in countries where life as well as government is to be preserv• d only by dtily vigilance, we can corn= prehend without difficulty the exc-s - ies to which soldiers might in carried when charged with the . administration of a territory in which every man's hand hand was against them, and that hand well armed. Considering, in short, the character of the Arab populittion, the pesition of the French colonists, and the thities in`rusted to the French army, we cannot profess to be much surprised that the dependency, when left to itself, without inquisitive supervision, should have yielded such examples of government as were related on this trial. The most notable feature in the transaction we discover in a different qu4rter. It might have been not unnaturally supposed that in a country where the suppression of public in formation is readily pralt icabte such proceedings as these, involving so many unpleasant disclosures, wont' not have bean suffere I to emerge very freely into light. The r...sult, iu fact, has oec,tsioned au extraordinary amount of scanlal, and the conduct of the military Boards has been severely criticised, not only in ordinary French circ'es, but in the Cabinet itself. All th-tso conditi.ns, however, have betm int] tkly accepte 1 by the Government of the Emperor, and the whole case, with all its attendant anecdotes, has been tried, canvassed, c'rculated, and scrutinised with as much freedom and publicity as could have been commanded among ourselves. At Oran itself the interest created was remarkable. Officers from all parts of the colony were attracted to the trial, and the court was even attended one day by visitors from an English ship of war which had come to anch-,r off the town. In France the public journals have seiz3d upon the topic with an avidity very intelligible, and the details of the in vestigation have been placed without reserve before the country. What is of greater importance, this publicity is working out its proper ends, and it is understood that the trial will probably produce a reform of the admitastration throughout Al geria. We need not ascend the annals of France very far to find a Government under which no such di,clo sures as the_e would probably have been permitted. The Emperor, however, has taken the responsibility of the occasion with equal courage and wisdom. The person inculpated by the researches of tills police, though an cfficer of high professional character and considerable position, was publicly arrested and pro secuted the trial was unreservedly open ; the in quirks of the Court were carried witbont impedi ment into all the details of the colonill administration, and the reality of the abuses alleged receives a proof from the resolution of the Government to effect a reform. We are bound, indeed, to ac knowledge that not even under our own constitu tion, with all its machinery for detecting and denouncing wrong, could any 0350 have been more thoroughly sifted, more freely discussed, or more unshrinkingly exposed than that which has just terminated at Oran. It way be anticipated that such an example will produce good fruit. There is no greater political mistake than to assume that publicity is injurious, and that the governed classes of a country should bl kept systematically in the dark. The o!d saying that what is mikuown is always great applies with as much fere, to demer:ts as t) me its. The actual rsTufaton of Algils is not likly to be deprecia,tyd ly anything that has bi , en disclosed, while it may be reasonably assumed that reform will fellow on exposuTe. It was always probab'e that in a colony withdrawn fo a great extent from cognisance, ruled almost as a matter of necessity upon principles mainly military, and still hel I in some quArters the bayonet's p int, the Itw of the sword should occasionally predominate in an unwarrantable degree. Alen who Lai their own lives by hourly tenure are not likely to set a high value on the lives of others, nor is it surprising that an authority des potic in its essential character should degenerate into a vicious form of despotism. The French officers who lived among Arabs and governed Arabs as best they could a ]opted, not, indeed, justifiably, but in pursuance of known temptatives, an Arab code of justice and an Arab form of proce dure. What was related of si me of them on the trial would, if related of Aiab or any Oriental authorities, have been regarded as perfectly na tural. The scandal of the French public has arisen from the abrupt and jarring contrast produced by the administration of Tlemcen and the administra tion of Paris when the two sp cimens were I ,)roueht unexpectedly toge her. The evil was occasioned by keeping the affairs of these communities so much apart. Had the eyes of Frenchmen been a lways directed to the colony, the abuses of its govern ment could never have assumed such a magn itude , and the publicity, now g;ven to the subject isthe best pledge and security for effective reform.-- Times. THE NEW LAIV OF DIVORCE.--PO WEBS CONFFRIED ON ASS,ZI JUDGES. The object of the Legislature in enabling the Judges of Assize to entertain original applica ions under this act, seems to be that of saving expense to the parties in bringing their witnesses to Lan don from a distance.
