MONEY MARKET AND COM NERCJ ikL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, there was a fair demand for all descriptionß, and closed with a firm appearance, at previous rates. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, 2,000 of which Were taken for export and on speculaticn. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were without alteration. The Bank return for the week ending the 20th instant, is generally considered very favourable ; and hopes are entertained of additional ease in the discount market. A satisfactory increase is ex hibited in the bullion, while the reserve of notes is ascending to a point which will enable the directors to extend their monetary operations. There is also a reduction in the stock of "other securities," but the total is still very large, and a further diminution is dedrahle. A de crease is noticeable in the other deposits, but as a set off against this there is a further augmenta tion in the public deposits, owing to the energy With which thenevenue is now being collected. On the whole the balance sheet is encouraging, and as the demand for accommodation is less urgent, with a tendency in the rates to decline, it is probable that another modification in the official terms may soon be effected, especially as the eastern exchanges are rather more favourable. .The principal items and the changes they present are as follows : e, Active circulation Increase Bullion Increase 3,353,074 Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 648,942 Decrease Government Securities Increase Other Securities . 18,481,953 Decrease Notes unemployed Increase The banking firm of Messrs. Smith, Helder, smith and Scrivens, of Hastings, has suspended Payment, with liabilities estimated at 15,0001. 11 le assets according to one calculation are 70,0001., but to reliable information has yet transpired on this subject. Besides the head establishment there Were branches at St. Leopards, Battle, Hawk burst, Robertsbridge, and Harlsham. This firm Was generally respected, and the establishment was form e d in the year 1791, with a fixed issue of 3 8,0381. The official return of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London for the week ending Thursday last is as follows : Gold Bara ... Boulogne ... 29,000 Ozs. Silver Coin ... Hamburg ... 1,200 „ Corfu, Zante, and Patras £lOO. The Indian and Chinese exchanges are tele graphed at a slight decline, and hence it is thought that the specie efflux will not be conducted on ,ouch a large scale as of late. The demand for money is moderate, but the full quotation of 6 per Cent. is in most instances sup ported. There is a decline in the value of the English Funds equal to about per cent., the news from India relative to the mutiny having caused an un favourable feeling, and already the advisability of finding out reinforcements is fully discussed. I 3 esides this adverse influence, the dearness Of money tends to depress the quota tions. Consols have been 921 - but they Closed at 922.

The Railway Share Market, although flatter, has not been so much effected by the fall in the funds all might have been expected, and as the settlement le in progress, this being " making-up" day, atten tion has not been much directed to fresh specula tive operations.

Canadian Stocks'are also ower, Grand Trunks are nearly 1/. per share below their previous value, but Great Western of Canada are tolerably steady. Very few bargains have been recorded in Foreign Shares, but they also rule flatter. Mining Shares are dull, but Banking and Mis cellaneous have attracted a fair share o?attention.

PROGRESS OF EMIGRATION TO CANADA. 7 A large num. her of vessels stilt keep arriving at Quebec. In three days alone of last week 143 arrived-52 ships, 76 barques, and 15 brigs. Up to the first of the month 144 vessels more had arrived this year than up to the same period last. The railway cars and steamers are daily loaded with emigrants going West. Four thousand More have arrived this year than at the same time last. Some of the newspapers are complaining that many young Men—clerks and others,—unfit for laborious and me chanical employments, have been induced to leave home, to seek employment here that they are now unable to find. This may be the case, as the market for that kind of labour soon becomes overstocked ; but I am satisfied that mechanics, agricultural labourers, servants (male and female), can soon find em ployment. Take an instance occurring a few days since—a young Englishman, a coachman and groom, came to me seeking a situation, which lie was informed I could direct him to. Ho had been forestalled. lie seemed much disappointed, but after examinin,„a his tes timonials, which were excellent, I encouraged him by the assurance that he would not long want emprOyment. next day I met him in Notre Dame-street, proud and contented, driving a carriage full of ladie.. The charit able committees of the various national societies are actively engaged ; many of them have paid agents, who await the arrival of their emigrants on the wharves, ready to assist them with information or advice. Few emigrants, of good character, sober and industrious habits of the class I mention, need want employment I long, am quite certain.—Canadian News ( Montreal Correspondent. ) THE Giters DlaEASF.—Accounts from Oporto state that the grape disease is again making severe ravages.

EVENING, JUNE_27, 1857; (This Day.) IMPBOVEgENT OF THE MERCANTILE MARINE SERVICE. Yesterday afternoon a ptTblic meeting ofshipowners, merchants, marines, and enginetrs of the port of Lon don, was held at the London Tavern, to consider the operation of certain clauses of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854, and the expediency of endeavouring to ob tain a revi-d,on of the act. An association has been formed named the Mercantile Marine Service Associa- time, the object of which is to raise the condition of masters, mates, and seamen, engineers and others of the merchant marine ; to effect the amendment of the Mer chant Shipping Act, 1854, and to obtain the incorpora tion by royal charter or act of Parliament of the mercantile marine service of the United Kingdom. Deputations from Liverpool, Southampton, Bristol, Exeter, and other ports attended the meeting yesterday. Masters, mates, and seamen, who are especially inte rested in the objects of the association (which had been formed with a view to their benefit) bad also been re quested to attend, and were present in large numbers. On the platform were the following members of Par liament :—Mr. Willcox, M.P. ; 111 r. Dater!, M.P. ; Mr. White, M.P. ; Sir James Elphinstone, M.P. ; and Mr. W. T. M'Cullagh, M.P. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., who was in the ohair, opened the meeting by detailing the objects which a ere agreed upon at the meeting held on the 221 of May last. It is proposed to elevate the social and professional status of the class alluded to, by amending the system of exarni• nations for masters and mates in they merchant service, so that they may be conducted with due regard to expe rience, aptitude, and practical knowledge, as well as by providing first-class certificates for roasters and mates in certain cases without the usual examination, as rewards for long and able service, brilliar t acts of seamanship, discovery and enterprise, or the saving of life and cargo under perilous conditions. It is alto suggested that situations under Government, relating to these mat ters, shall ordinarily be bestowed upon properly-quali fied persons belonging to the merchant service. The administration of the " Merchant Seamen's Fund" is to be improved, so as to supply a comfortable refuge to aged and disabled membersol the service in every grade. The power now allowed seamen to quit their ships in foreign ports, and join men-of-war, it is sought to abo• lid). The objects of the association, moreover, include an alteration of the existing law as to cases of wreck and casualty, substituting inquiry by a c ironer's jury (to be composed of shipowners and mariners) for the present courts, and likewise the alterations of the re gister regulations, and the abolition of light dues and passing tolls. The following were the resolutions submitted to tie meeting yesterday, and adopted : " 1. That this meeting, approving the constitution and objects of the Mercantile Marine Service Associa• time, as read to the meeting, pledges itself to use all legitimate efforts for the extension of the organisation and the attainment of its objects. "2. That the following, together with the chairman, deputy chairman, and other officers of local associations, constitute the executive committee : Captains J. S. Boulton, W. 0. Campbell, J. R.

LITTLE. DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING. During the earlier part of this day a private in quiry was prosecuted at the Broadstone terminus, under the direction of the Crown solicitor. The son of the prisoner, and another persou were examined, and their statements taken clown in writing in the shape of depositions. Shortly before 4 o'clock the prisoner was placed in a cab, and, accompanied by Superintendent Guy, was on his way from Frederick lane station to the Police-court in Capel-street, where the magistrates, Mr. 'O'Donnell and Mr. Portrr, had remained after office hours for the pur pose of hearing the case ; on the'way, however, an order was received from the Government authori ties countermanding a previeu3 order, and directing that the prisoner should not be brought before the magistrates for examination until to-morrow morn ing at 11 o'clock. The interest evinced by the Executive in the progress of the case may be gleaned from the. fact that an Aide-de-camp of the Lord Lieutenant attended to watch the proceedings. Tin greatest excitement prevailed in the neighb.Jur hoodof the Police-curt, where crowds of persons were assembled. No new fact transpired during the day. The following is from the Freeman's Journal:— "It having been generally understoood that the prisoner, James Spollen, at present con-1 fined in Frederick-lane police-station house, charged with the murder of Mr. Little, would be brought up for examination in Capel-street police-office yesterday morning, a large number ofpersons assembled in the office and round the doors through which Spollen was expected to pass, but they were destined to be disappointed, as the Crown decided on postponing the examination of the prisoner, for the pu r p ose o f o btaining some additional and important evidence. As we have already stated, the prisoner was not aware of his having given information against him until he saw her in Frederick-lane stationhouse on the oc casion of his being charged by Mr. Superintendent Guy. On that occasion, after he had been brought down stairs to the reserve room, he appeared quite astonished when he saw his wife. After the charge had been duly entered and read to him the pockets of his clothes were searched in the usual way, and in them a key was found, with other matters. He objected to it being taken from him, ancleaid that it was the key of his private drawer, and that they had no right to deprive him of it. This key was intrusted to one of the police, who went to the prisoner's house late on Wednesday night, and found that it opened a drawer in a chest in the par lour of his residence. In the drawer eight sove reigns were found rolled up in a piece of wadding, which had the appearance of having been in a muddy place, as portions of clay were adhering to it. The police are of opinion that this money was taken from the place where the gold and notes were found the day previous by Sergeant Meyers. From the time the prisoner saw his wife and heard the charge which was made against him he has scarcely spoken a word to any person, save when calling for food, which he partakes of with a good ap petite. He remained nearly the entire of yes terday in one position with his head resting on his hand, and apparerfily impressed with the fear ful character of the charge brought against him. The Crown Solicitor and Mr. Superintendent Guy were occupied during the principal part of the day in taking down the statement of Mrs. Spollen and those of her daughter Julia, a very clever and in telligent child, who appears to be about 11 or 12 years of age, and in charge of the police, along with her mother, as a witness for the Crown. " The razor - with which Mr. Little's throat is supposed to have been cut, and which was found by the police in the canal, was shown to Mrs. Spollen yesterday for the purpose of trying whe ther she could identify it as one belonging to her husband. She said that she could not recognise it as his, but remarked that some time before the murder was committed her husband had been made a present of a razor by a friend of his, and that the razor found in the canal may be that one. The police are aware of the name and address of the person who gave the razor to the prisoner, who no doubt will be able to say positively whether the razor in the hands of the police is the one which he gave to Spolleu. In the information given by Mrs. Spollen to the police she says that her hus band, on coming home at eight o'clock on the evening of the murder, remembered that he had forgotten his time-book' in the office of Mr. Little, and, fearing that it might be discovered, he went back to the room and found it there and brought it home.. The little girl (Julia Spolien) in her ex amination yesterday, it is understood, gave some very important information, and identifies the piece of cotton cloth in which the money found by Ser geant Meyers on Wednesday last between the boundary walls of the railway and the workhouse was wrapped up as hers. This piece of cloth, she says, she got from her aunt some time since to make a bonnet, but, not liking the ma terial, it was never applied to the purpose for which it was given, but left lying at home. I A general search for the remainder of the money taken from Mr. Little's office on the night of the murder and also for the key of the office-door was resumed yesterday morning by Sergeants Craven and Meyer?, a*isted by a number of workmen. The Bradogue river, into which it was stated the key was thrown, was thoroughlyexplored for a con siderable distance, and in places where it was flagged over the flagging has been removed to faci litate the search. The two hiding places where the money was found concealed on Wednesday were also minutely examined, but up to a late hour last evening neither the key nor the remainder of the missing money had been discovered. A fitter's hammer, with a broken face was found in a drawer in the prisoner's house. This hammer is the one which was given to the prisoner out of the railway stores when he stated some sime since that he had lost his own. The hammer which the prisoner stated he had lost, Mrs. Spollen says, is the one which was found in the canal. Late yesterday evening the cottage in which the prisoner resided was searched in every part, but no discovery was made. The son of the prisoner, whose name also is James Spollen, who is at present in charge of the police at Chancery-lane stationhouse is a well looking lad of about 16 years of age. lie bore his confinement very well up to yesterday evening, when he became quite overt owered with grief at the position in which his father was placed, and called repeatedly for his mother, and he begged of the constable who bad charge of him to take him to her or bring her to him. He is at present detained by the Crown as a witness. The search at the Broadstone terminus will be resumed this day, and the further exploration of the river pro ceeded with, as the possession of the missing key of the door of the cash office is regarded as of the last importance. " Spollen was originally employed by the company as a porter, but being an intelligent, quick, ingenious parson, he soon acquired some skill as a painter, and was latterly engaged in paintil.ig, glazing, and doing odd jobs about the terminus ; in fact, he was regarded as awry useful, " handy man." - He is described as a very indus trious, hardworking man, rather quiet in manner, steady in conduct, and .of good address. He ap pears, too, to be a man Of some taste ; the walls of his neatly-furnished comfortable cottage are profusely.adorned with pictures in gilt frames, and the small piece of ground in front of it is laid out in pretty flower-beds, with one or two little plots of-peas,-now in blossom, interspersed. Scarlet run ners are also trained in front of the cottage, and the garden is further adorned by an ingeniously constructed " rockery," as it is termed—a number of large stones, moss, flowers, and the roots of trees, arranged together in a very tasteful manner. Hanging outside the door was a handsome brass wire cage containing a pretty canary, which was a great pet of the prisoner's. He used to spend many of his leisure moments in training it. He also kept a small rabbit in a neat wooden cage, a portion of which is circular and rotatory, like those in which white mice and guinea pigs are generally confined. The cottage lies almost exactly opposite to the room in which the murder was committed, and within a stone's throw both of the terminus and of the place where the murderer concealed his booty. Thus the first object which would meet the eyes of Spollen and his wife on going out of their cottage was the wincloW of Mr. Little 's room, the recollec tion of the terrible tragedy enacted therein being constantly kept before the mind of the woman. " We understand that the prisoner, contrary to what might have been expected, has never evinced the slightest disinclination to enter into conversation on the subject of the murder. He has frequently dis cussed the matter with various persons in the em ployment of the company, always expressed his horror of the crime, and was noticed for constantly observing, What a nerve the fellow must have had that did it.' It is stated that a few days ago he was in company with some ofuthe workmen, when, the murder having been referred to, one of the men remarked, I wonder whether the murderer was among the batch lately discharged by the company,' No,' replied Spollen, l a m certain the fell ow i s still among us and laughing at us.' In refer ence t o the question of unrestricted access to the terminus it may be mentioned that the prisoner had charge, among other matters relating which building, of the cleaning of the windows, on . account his passing through rooms . and corridors would not at tract particular notice. 4‘ A m ong the means resorted to shortly after the crime was committed for assisting to discover the murderer was clairvoyance, and of the same there was forwarded to the police authorities from Eng land a statement, alleged to have been made by a clairvoyant operated upon in the tonal way, that -- - - RA , LWAYS.

Business this day POLICE INT. SOUTHWARK. CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING.—Margaret Hennessey, a respectable-looking young woman, was brought before Mr. Combs charged with stealing a merino dress, from the shop of Mr. Cbailes Eastwood, draper, &c., New ington-causeway. Celia Smart, assistant to Mr. Eastwood, stated that while she was attending to a customer on the previous evening, she received information from a young lady that a female had just entered the shop and stolen a merino dress. Witness immediately missed one from the door way, and then she proceeded into the street where she saw the prisoner running across the road with something bulky under her shawl. A constable went after her and brought her to the shop with the dress in her possession. Witness had seen the dress at the door way a few minutes previous, and she recollected seeing the prisoner and another female looking about, but she had no suspicion of their intentions. The prisoner here declared that she did not steal the dress. She only picked up the article, and intended to have given it up to the police constable, when she was stopped. James Garrett, 282 M, said that the prisoner was run ning away as fast as she could, when the witness called on him to stop her. He then asked her what she bad wider her shawl, when she replied, nothing, and at the same time threw down the dress produced and attempted to run away. Witness caught hold of her and took her back to the shop, were she was given into his custody. Mr. Combe asked the prisoner whether she still per sisted in sti.ting that she picked up the dress. If she did he must send her for trial. The prisoner, hesitating a little, said sho did not want to go for trial. Mr. Combe told her that she must plead guilty if she wished him to deal with her. The prisoner then pleaded guilty, and asked his wor ship to deal mercifully towards her. Mr. Combs said that as it appeared to be her first offence, he should sentence her to three months' hard labour. THAMES. F.RIGEITEUL CASE OE STABBING. — Miguel Perenis, man of colour, and one of the most formidable looking wretches that ever appeared at the bar of justice, was brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with cutting and wounding two English seamen, named Webster and Bishop, with intent to murder them or do grievous bodily harm. Normoyle, an intelligent police-constable, No. 133 H, was nwprn to interpret the evidence to the prisoner, who is a native of Chili, and speaks the Spanish language only. It appeared that on the night of Thursday, the 18th inst., the prisoner had been quarrelling with some of his countrymen and others in Ratcliffs-highway about a loose woman with whom he bad been staying, and he made use of the most horrible .oaths and imprecations, and swore he would be revenged on some one. Some time afterwards, and when the quarrel was over, and a crowd of foreign seamen and others were assembled in Ratcliffe-highway, the two young men, Webster and Bishop, were passing quietly alon g , interfering with no one, when the prisoner tceik a long and sharp scabbard knife, with which he was armed, from his sheath, and rushed upon the two Englishmen. Webster received two severe wounds, one on the right shoulder and the ether on the left side under the left arm-pit. Bishop, to use the words of a witness, was " tipped up." He received a severe and dangerous wound on the lower part of his person, the scrotum was punctured, and he also received a wound on the thigh. Bishop was immediately taken to London Hospital. The prisoner, after he had committed the dastardly assaults, threw away his knife, and escaped into the house of a foreigner, named Joseph Williams, in Ratcliff-highway, who was fitted 5/. for assaulting Payne, the police-constable, and resisting him in the execution of his duty while attempting to enter the house. Mr. John Comley, surgeon, of High-street, White chapel, said he attended Webster, and that the wound under his arm-pit was an inch in depth and an inch in length. The loss of blood was vet), great. Payne, a police-constable, said ke was under the neces sity of conveying Webster to the London Hospital after the first examination, and that both men were in imminent danger. It was not expected that - Bishop would survive. Mr. Selfe said this was a moat shocking case, and again remanded the prisoner for a week!' THE '7Bth HIGHLANDERS. TO THE EDITOR OF TEE sun. Sin,—l have seen by your paper that the question was asked in the House of Commons " wby the 73d and 43d Regiments were not relieved from the Cape of Good Hope," but I did not see that the question, wby the 78th Highlanders are not to be relieved from India, as well as the 73d and 431 from the Cape, was asked. The 78th hate been over sixteen years on foreign service in a bail whereas the 73d and 43d are in a first-rats climate, and have not been above 11 years abroad. I ask now, Sir, is this fair play ? The 78th have done credit to them selves during the last campaign in Persia ; and I think in fairness to them, instead of sending out a draft to bead-quarters, they should be relieved next year. The 10th and 29 th both went out in the same year as the 78th, and either last year nor this did they send out a draft to, heal-quarters, but are now under orders from India for hole service. Surely, Sir, you will try to get fair play through the columns of your widely-circutted journal. I think it is a great hardship to be bringing other regiments home who have notmerved near so long on a Foreign Station as the 78th. Then again, look to the Army List and you will findtbat the officers of the 78th are the oldest officers ininy one of her Ma jesty's Regiments. Why, then, n(t relieve this regi ment t As you haye always been a fiend to us military, I trust you will insert the abov& -and oblige yours very truly, A CAPTAIN ffNATTACHED.

Medical aid was quickly in attendance, yet notwith standing the greatest exertions the p oor b o y never re covered. An inquest is to be held on the body this evening. Not the slightest blame is attributed to the officers of the company, the greatest care being taken to prevent accidents happening. Tkis is the first death that has taken place since the estatlishme4t of the baths nine years ago, and it occurred under circumstances that set human precautions at defiance. FORGING A COUNTY COURT PROOESS.—A somewhat singular case was heard before the Itliceter magistrates a few days ago. A respectable tradesman, named Wil liam Dowdoy, of Topsham, was committed for trial on a charge of forging the name of Mr.• John Daw, registrar of the Exeter District County Court, to an illegally concocted summons. It was stated that persons travel about the country and make a good living by selling documents in imitation of County Court summonses, which are printed in Ilolywell street, London. These are purchased by small trades men, who send them tss tardy debtors in order to frighten them into payment. To make the process com plete it is necessary to forge the signature of the registrar. This Downey did, and posted the latter in Exeter, so that it might appear to the debtor they came from the office of the registrar. By the County Courts Act the offence is one of felony. It was stated by Mr. Daw that he be lieved the prisoue r did it in ignorance of the consequences, Ibut still it was a serious offence, and people must be made aware thereof. The magistrates committed Downey for trial at the enduing quarter deddions. ad 100 100 all 100 all 100 100 all all all all all THE PRINCE CONSORT. (From the London Gazette of last evening.)

The claimykrit was, a boy employed ih a factory in London, and foreman of the establish ment, who forwarded the couimunication to the-po lice here, mentioned that the boy's powers in this respect had been frequently tested and found Ilse ful. "Although no time has yet been flue I for bring ing up the prisoner for examination at Oapel-stfeet office, in all probability the case for the Croivn:ivill be so far complete as to enable the police to cludge the prisoner before the sitting magistrate in , the course of this day." Another morning paper states that an investiga tion by the Crown solicitor was held at Sackville place station late yesterday evening, and that some fresh evidence was elicited, which, however, it waS not deemed prudent to make public. It is ids.) stated that Spollen is an Iritlnian and a member of the Roman Catholic Church. He is a nativq of Lucan, a village about six miles d.stant from Milan on the west side. Mrs. Spolien, it appears, has made some fu►ther revelations:-- " On the night of the murder she states that her husband did not immediately bring the money into the house, but concealed it among some sheds near his own residence, until•he hal broken the matter to her. Afterwards he brought it in a tin vessel, counted, and divided it into a heap of Sillier:arida heap of gold. The latter and a portion of the former he consigned to the places in which they were found during the same night. A:large part of the silver, however, he concealed in a small tank adjoining his residence ; and two days before the discovery of the money in the basket, near thesar riage works, it was taken by him at six o'cloCk in the morning, and placed in that Position. She al leges that he did this knowing that the basket had been lying unused for two years, and that, having access to the premises at all times, be could, with almost perfect security, draw from it small sums from time to time for his private purposes. She also says that he was in great terror at one period, when the police were actually searching within a few feet of the place in which the gold was con cealed, and that she, believing it was discovered, warned him of the circumstance, whereupon he made a pretence to clean some lamps along the wall, which gave him an opportunity of overlookiegithe proceedings of the police without suspicion attach ing to himself, and she added that he told her,the gold was n9l discovered, as the stones remained where he had placed them. Some corroboration of this fact is afforded by the circumstance that ;the police actually searched upon one occasion within two feet of the hiding-places both of the gold and the silver." PRESENTATION OF WAR MEDALS AT LIVERPOOL. Yesterday afternoon the pensioners belonging to the Liverpool district were drawn up in a rquare, two deep, in the Exchange area in that town, to witness the presentation of the French Crimean medal of valour to two British soldiers, Sergeant Brummell, of the 46th Regiment, and Private Joseph Mitchell, of the 69th Light Infantry, the former of whom lost a leg while under fire in the front parallel, and the latter an arm in the trenches. The medals were for general bravery during the campaign. The presentations were made in the name of the Emperor of the French by Col. Bell, inspecting field-officer of the district, besides whom there were present Lieut.-Col. Rogers, Capt. Faulk ner, Capt. Bradish, Capt. Middleton, &c. The ceremony was witnessed by the Mayor of Liverpool .(Mr. F. Shand) and a party of friends from the bal cony overlooking the area, and by a large number of merchants and others. Colonel BELL, in presenting the medals, said— Now, my old soldiers and companions, I am going to introduce to your notice two of my old and gal lant comrades in the late war—two gallant men who during the whole a the Crimean service were dis tinguished by their own commanding officers and by the General Commanding-in-Chief, and who are now to be decorated with the war medal by the order of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of tho French—the greatest honour that can be conferred upon a British soldier after receiving distinguished marks of honour from his own Queen. I have very few words for this occasion ; it requires but few. These medals (producing them) have been for warded from the Emperor of the French to be conferred upon two brave British soldiers. They . bear upon one side the bust of his Im perial Majesty, and upon the other the words " Valour" and " Discipline" are inscribed. Those words are always applicable to good British soldiers, fur a well disciplined British soldier must be a valiant man, and a valiant man is always a well disciplined soldier, driving all his honour from discipline and obedienceto orders. Theßritish soldier asks no questions on the day of battle. Ho attends to the orders of his commanding officer. He looks neither to the right nor to the left ; be fights to the front ; he fights for victory, and wins. (Cheers.) Here are two gallant men, Sergeant Brummell (who stepped forward) and Joseph Mit chell (who also stood to the front). These men nobly distinguished themselves in the late war. No ono knows what that war was, ncr can auy man tell ita hardships and dangers, not even the Times corres pondent. The hardships of the British army are known only to those strong men who were there to share the dangers, and who outlived the perils. But they are rewarded by their country. Look round upon this assemblage of the gentlemen of LiVerpool; the merchants of this great city have come to see two gallant soldiers decorated with this sign of valour. Look back a little in the order of events, and recall to mind the noble ladies of England, who not only wept for their countrymen, but worked day and night, and sent them all the comforts and conveniences and delicacies they could to the plateau of Sebastopol, with the hope of sustaining and en couraging the brave hearts who were dying on that cold sod. Soldiers, you can never do enough for the ladies, God bless them ! (Cheers.) In conclusion, Colonel Bell having affixed the medals on the breasts of the recipients, heartily shook them by the hand, and wished them long life and health to wear them, assuring them that wherever they went they would be the passports to a cordial reception. (Cheers ) At the request of Mitchell, one of the newly de corated heroes, three times three cheers were given for the Queen, three for the Emperor of the French, and three for the ladies of England. The proceed ings then terminated. Both Brummell and Mit chell have already received the English Crimean. medal, Mitchell with three bars—" Alma," " In kerman," and " Sebastopol," and Brummell with one bar—Sebastopol."
