MONEY MARKET AND 0031MEECTAL IrrELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed quietly but steadily, at the fail rates current last week. The sales were 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export. The railway share market presented an inactive aspect at previous quotations. Among the failures in the corn trade, to which reference was made yesterday, we may mention that of Messrs. B irdgett and Picard, whose liabilities are estimated at 120,000/. The other firms, who were also embarrassed, are comparatively unimportant so far as the engagements are con cerned. In the Colonial Produce Markets there is more firmness, and several of the principal staples are at enhanced rates. Sugar is in active request at an ad vance of 2g. to 3s. per cwt., and coffee is also rather dearer. The stock of these two articles in Lou don on the 7th instant was as under : SUGAR. 1857. 1856. Tons. Tone. Colonial Foreign Total COFFEE. Colonial Foreign Total Tea, rice, and most other colonial products, are higher, and a better feeling generally prevails. Tallow is flat. The New York City Banks through the sus pension of specie payments are becoming very strong, and before the meeting of the Legislative Assembly they will probably be in a better posi tion than ever before known. They wisely determined to limit their discount operations as far as practicable, and on the 31st ult. their engage ments in this department were only 95, 317,754 dols, whereas, on the Bth of August the total was 12 2,077,252 (I , lls. While these precautions pro tected the Banks however, they necessarily embarrassed those traders who have been fortu nate enough to escape bankruptcy. The specie is accumulating rapidly, the exports being limited, and the imports from California are of the usual extensive character. All they received they were enabled to keep, and the deposits, which, on the 17th ult. were reduced to 542,696,012, had in creased on the 31st to $51,853,153. The demand for money is still supported with a good deal of activity, and bankers and others can, therefore, find full employment for their surplus Means at remunerative rates. A. great deal of caution is still observed, but 3 as failures are now ess frequent confidence is becoming stronger. Silver is sat, and the business transacted is of a 1 imited character. The Market for Public Securities is not very active, but a moderate business has been transacted. Some bona fide sales have been male, which have caused a flatter tone. Rumours of an advanced rate of discount aro circulated ; but, although they are not believed, they add to the heaviness of the market. There is also a good deal of anxiety respecting the meeting of Parliament, and the subjects which are likely to be brought under discussion. Consola have been 89k for money, and 891 I for account. They are now 89 to 89/, 89 5 1, /, respectively. The New 3 per Cents. are 88 to 888, and the Reduced 88 to 88/. Exchequer Bills are 18s. to 13s. discount-, and the Bonds 97k. India Bonds are 30s. discount. Bank Stock is 2111 to 214. The stoppage of the Wolverhampton and Staf fordshire Banking Company has had a depressing influence, but, all things considered, the Funds exhibited remarkable firmness. The Foreign Stock Market is quiet, and most of the quotations are flatter. Turkish Six per Cents. are ; and the 4 per Cents. 961 97. Mexican %_per C ents, are rather firmer, being 184. Peruv i an 4 4 per and ditto C ents. are ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40i, Deferred, 24 f: The following wing are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks ;Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi can' --7 a 7 181; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 73 75 ; ditto ° per Cents., - ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 42 43 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 104 106 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 95 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 39/ 40/ ; ditto New Deferred, 24k 25k. A further downward tendency is apparent in the Railway Share market this morning, the decline being in most instances fully to 1 per cent. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Great- Western, North-Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, Midland, North-British, and North- Eastern (Berwick,) declined 10s. ; East Lanca shire, 15s. ; Bristol, and Exeter, Oxford, Worces ter and Wolverhampton, and Soutia-Eastern, 11. and Caledonian 2/. The foreign lines are neglected and prices are quite nominal. In the Colonial undertakings lower rates were current. Great Western of Canada declined 108. ; East India ss. ; and Grand Trunk of Canada 11. to 11.10 s. For Mining shares there was little inquiry. Alfred Consuls were 141 ; Cobre Copper declined to 38' J oint -Stock Bank shares ganerally are at a slight decline.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco before, the Lord Chief Justice Cock- burn, Justices W iltiame, Crowder, and Willis.) TOOMEY V. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND BORTH COAST RAILWAY-NEGLIGENCE. Mr. Sergeant Pigott said this was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendants, and was tried on the 12th inst. before Mr. Justice Cresawell, at West minster, when the plaintiff was non-suited, subject to a motion to this court to enter the verdict for the plaintiff for 551., a sum agreed on between the parties, if the Court considered the learned judge who tried the case was wrong in his law. The facts of the ease are these : The defendants were sued for negligence, in not keeping their station at New-cross in a reasonably secure state. It appeared from the plaintiff's evidence that he went to the station about half past ten o'clock at night, to proceed to London. Whilst there he asked a gentleman, a stranger, to direct him to a part of the platform he was seeking. H• was accord ingly directed by the gentleman, but mistook the door, and pushing open the wrong one, fell into a hole or cellar below. He was assisted to the platform, and from thence to the hospital, where it was found that he bad broken three or four ribs, and he bad been laid up ever since. There was no lamp over the door, and it was on the swing at the time the plaintiff fell. The question for the consideration of the court was whether there was any negligence on the part of the company to make them liable ; because, if so, it should have been submitted on the trial to the jury, and the learned judge would not have nonsuited the plaintiff. The court confirmed the ruling of the learned judge, and the application was discharged. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell, Watson, and Channell.) CHURCHYARD V. WAT/EINS-COMPROMISING AN ACTION. The Lord Chief Baron, in delivering judgment in this case, said it was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, an attorney, who had acted in that capacity for him in an action which Watkins com promised for 1401., paying over to the plaintiff 701., and retaining 701. for costs. The plaintiff, on the trial, proved that he told the defendant not to compromise the action unless he (the plaintiff) received 1001., and the jury, by their verdict, foetid to be the bargain be tween them. That disposed of the whole case, because the jury having found he compromised the case for 1401,, the defendant was prevented from taking more than 401. for costs. In the course of the conversation the defendant said to the plaintiff, " Yon are to take 1001., and I am entitled to no more than 401., and I am not sure there is not something coming to you out of that." The jury on th• trial gave the plaintiff a verdict for 30/., which, with the 701, paid, made 100/,, according to the compromise ; and the Court to-day were of opinion that the verdict ought not to be disturbed. Rule for a new trial discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBORO — UGH-STREET. A JIIYENILE THlEF. —George Wyatt, a well-dressed good looking youth, 14 years of age, the son of respect. able parents, residing at Nn 18, Little Pulteney-street, was brought before Mr. Beadon, for re-examination, charged with stealing eight sovereigns, belonging to his father, who, in consequence of illness, was unable to attend. Mrs. Wyatt, the lad's mother, who was deeply affected while giving her evidence, stated that her son, the pri soner at the bar, although so young in years was a most incorrigible thief. He had a good and comfortable home, a kind father and in fact every thing that a lad in his station of life could desire. On the morning of Sunday week she deposited ten sovereigns in a small box, in a closet in her bedroom In the course of the afternoon, in consequence of what she was told by her daughter, she looked in the box, and found that eight sovereigns out of the ten had been ab stracted therefrom. Sheet once suspected the prisoner and on making inquiries found that he had ab sconded. She at once proceeded to the station-house, and gave information to the police, and she saw nothing more of the lad till the following day, when he was in custody, without a farthing in his pocket. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prisoner said he did take the money, the whole of which he spent with a cabman, whom he did not know, and when he had spent all the money the cabman tureed him adrift without a penny. - The prisoner's mother said her husband: wished to know whether the lad could not be got into some insti tution, where he would be for a time separated from his bad companions. They were willing to pay what ex penses might be incurred. All their desire was, how to save him from utter destruction. Mr, Beadon ',aid he would remand the lad for a week, and in the meanwhile would see what could be done in the matter. The lad was then sent back to prison. WESTMINSTER. UNGRATEFUL RETURN, —William Osborne, a young man, said to be very respectably connected, was placed at the bar before Mr. Paynter, charged with stealing a silver watoh and guard chain, value 4/., and 145., from Benjamin Harold, of Britain-street, Chelsea. The prosecutor stated, that he spent last evening at a taverh at Kniehtsbridge, where he fell into company with the prisoner, and they had some liquor together. On leaving there the prisoner said, he had had some dif ferences with his friends, and in consequence had no where to sleep that night. Prosecutor kindly said that if he liked he could share hie bed, and took him borne to his mother's house, and having given him some sup per they retired for the night. Prosecutor took his watch from his neck, and placed it on the mantelpiece, and th en went to b e d a n d fell asleep. This morning when he awoke, be found the room door, which he had fa s t ene d on the previous night, open, and the prisoner go ne . All the money that he had in his pockets, and his watch, had been carried off. Prosecu tor immediately gave information to the police. John Wyse, 75 B, sa id h e appre hended the prisoner this morning, at Knightsbridge, from the description given of him, when he denied all kaowledge of either the watch or money. Prosecutor then came up, and charged him, and on his way to the station, having no opportunity of getting rid of the property, he admitted he had stolen it, and produced the watch and money. Prisoner was committed for trial. LLOYD'S SHIPPRIG.—(This Day.) LONDON, Nov. 17.—Wind this day at noon, N.E. ; light breeze and hazy. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 16.—Wind N.E. to E.--Arrived — H.M. Str.

TENDERS FOR THE TASMANIAN DEBENTURES.—The Hobart Town, Advertiser states that on the previous day which was the period fixed for receiving the tenc:ers, for the different sums in Government debentures which have been advertised for, tenders for more than the amount were sent in. More than half the amount was tendered for at par, and at a premium. Indeed so high a sum was tendered for at par as to render it unnecessary to accept any tender below par. RECASTING OF THE WESTMINSTER BELL.—Sir Benja min Hall and the commissioners, Professors Faraday and Wheatstone and Mr. Denison, having visited the bell, have deternaired that it shall be recast as soon as possi ble, by Messrs. Warner, the contractors. Fur this purpose it will have to be broken up on the spot. The debris of metal will then be removed to the foundry, where the recasting process, it is calculated, will occupy about two months. The process of cooling down the metal will occupy a fortnight, and its cleaning about the same period. It is understood that the same shape and dimensions wil. be adhered to, and that early next year the bell may be in its place. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.

FINE IN BISHOPSGATH.—Yesterday (Monday) morn ing, about a quarter to 3 o'clock, a fire, which was at tended with a serious loss of property, broke out in the extensive range of pretnieee in the tenure of Messrs. Beck and Cu., dealers in China, glass, and earthenware, the buildings being in Sun-3ireet, and extending into Dunning's-alley. The Royal Society's fire-escape arrived is oin the Bishopsgate•street station, when Warren ,the con ductor, pitched it in front of the house and boldly ascended to the third floor, and, having entered through the win dow, he found three persons almost suffocated. He placed an o'd man in the escape, and, having lowered him safely to the ground, he managed to bring the other two out of the window and get them also safely to the ground. The engines of the London Brigade from' various stations, and that of the West of England, were soon in attendance, and, owing to the exertions of the fire , men, the flames were eventually extinguished, but not till the warehouses were burnt out, and the stores in the front house much damaged. The loss, which is considerable, will fail upon the Sun Fire-office. The origin of the disaster is unknown. TRADE IN DIIBLIN.—In Dublin matters continue as they have for some time past ; trade very dull, but no want of confidence or scarcity of money. Transactions have been brought into a very narrow compass, and there is ne reason to expect any commercial misfortune, unless it may be some concern essentially rotten, and even this we think exceedingly unlikely. Produce of all kinds and corn have been very depressed, and transac tions, even at the current low rates, very limited. As, however, every one confines himielf to hand-to-mouth purchases, an enormous reaction must take place as soon as improvement fairly sets in. The customs duties are 15,5691., against 21,836/. the corresponding week last year ; decrease, 6,2671. Payments on tea amount to 6,1331. ; refined sugars, 5331. ; Muscovite ditto, 1,6061.; coffee, 42/. ; wine, 2,0141. ; spirits, 8621. ; tobacco, 3,4381.; timber, 214. ; and miscellaneous, 719/, STATE OF TRADE IN COVENTRY.—The great commer cial crisis has, says the Coventry herald, by this time seriously all% cted Coventry. Messrs. Bennoch, Twenty man, and Rigg, are, it is said, indebted to one house alone, in this city, to the amount of 20,0001. ; and we understand that several other Coventry firms will suffer by their failure. A factory, not long since °poled, and which manufactures elm st exc'usively for Ame rica, has, of necessity, been closed, and the whole of the bands, of course, thrown out of work. An other symptom of depression is the turnout of Messrs. Hammerton's bands, who refuse to accept a proposal made by their employers that they shall work piecework and take two-thirds of their earnings, subject to certain deductions. Many of the turnouts have re turned to work, and the place of the rest has been supplied by operatives quite recently in the employ of other firms, but discharged in consequence of the gene ral depression in the trade. Weavers who work at their own homes are also suffering severely from the crisis, those having two looms being very often compelled to keep one standing idle, and those having but one losing a great deal of time when their warps are down. The watch trade is almost crippled by the present st' te of things, and many good hands are already out of employ. The small masters are in great difficulty, and the number of appi entices they have lately main tained are now naturally the cause of considerable em barrassment, the profit eble work that could be found for them in a time of prosperity not being now ♦ery easily obtained. FIDELITY IN OIIDE.—The following is an extract of a letter from Major-Gen. Sir J. Outran], G.C.B. , dared Camp, lsftbank of the Ganges, opposite Cawopord, Sept. 20, 1857 : —" I have the pleasure to forward extracts from a letter I have to-day received from Capt. Patrick Orr, dated the 13t , i inst., from Mitaulee, the residence of a Rajah in Oude, under whose protection Captain Orr, three other gentlemen, two ladies, and two chil dren have been preserved since the outbreak ; and, of a note from Lieut. Burnes, writing from the same place, who mentions that there are nine men and three ladies under protection of another chief at a place called Mutteara, in Conde. There are ten chieftains of Oude who have proved their fidelity to government by pro tecting our subjects. ADVE E,TiSEMENT.

By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and ex traordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances. These Telescopes possess such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-piece will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three-and-a-half miles distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles.

SHIPMENTS OF GOLD. We have received files of the Me bourne Age to the 16th Sept. We gather that more than 85,000 ounces of gold, and 10,000/. in sovereigns, were shipped in the Emeu. The commercial advices are not encouraging. Unprecedented dullness had prevailed for two months. The storekeepers had previously supplied themselves, while the long continued dry weather hindering the operation of gold washing bad dimi nished the means of the consuming classes. Rain bad commenced to fall in abundance, however, and speedy improvement was hoped for. The Heather Bell had sailed for London on 7th Aug. with 19,647 ounces of gold'; Royal Charter for Liverpool, Aug. 12., with 83,593 ounces; Se ringapltatn for Liverpool, Aug. 15, with 12,183 ounces ; and the Essex for London, Sept. 2, with 105,255 ounces. The value of the gold alone in this last ship exceeded 410,0001. The total am Aunt of gold shipped since the com mencement of 1857, including the shipments to the neighbouring colonies, had been 79 tons 1 cwt. 3 qrs. 201 b. 11 oz., which, at 80s. per oz., gives the value of 7,636,6021. The receipts of gold by escort continue to be far io advance of those in the cor responding period in 1856. Ballarat gold had sold on the fields at 80s. per oz , and other fields in proportion, but a reduction of 6d. per oz. expected. The new gold fieldat Mount Ararat promised to be very successful. In two months 10,009 persons had been added to the population of the co'ony. Numbers com plained of want of employment, but would not accept of reduced wages. Crime was on the de crease. Two Chinamen bad been executed for the murder of a European female ; and the notorious convict, Capt. Melville, had strangled himself. Agriculture was advancing so rapidly that it was coefidently expected Victoria within a year or two would be independent of fureignsupphes. Although in five years the population of Victoria had in creased by 400,000, yet the livestock has increased —not diminished, as some feared. In 15 months the increase had been 14,402 horses, 112,500 horned cattle, 31,541 pigs, and 63,676 sheep. Telegraphic communication with Adelaide was in a forward state, and a grand railway scheme was likely to be adopted. A plan for the federation of the colonies was under consideration. State aid to religion is to cease in Victoria in 1860. The Haines ministry had carried the Land Bill through the lower house. Mr. Fellows, the Solicitor-Gene ral, had resigned. TEE EMBUS AUSTRALIAN MAILS. We have received via Marseilles, from a gentleman on board the Australian steamer, the following interest leg particulars of the grounding of the Emeu steamer on her passage up to Suez with the Australian mails. When the Australasian left Alexandria her Majesty's ship Tartarus, a Russian 44. gun frigate and a brig, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Indus and Valetta were at that port : —" On Sunday morning, Oct. 12, at 7.35, the Royal mail steamer Emeu left Aden for Suez, the wind S.E., fine weather, passed inside Perim Island at 4 p.m., and the Harnish group about 11. At 6 a.m, of the 19th, Teleager Islands were abeam, and ai 9.15 Jibbel Tear bore E., distant four miles ; at noon the ship's position in lat. 16 2 N., long. (chronornoter) 41.33 E., weather northerly and variable. Noon on the 20th, lat. 19 5 N., long. 38 56 E., distance run 240 miles ; light north-west breezes and calm. The course steered would bring the vessel about 20 miles to the eastward of Ras Roway, which we expected to pass about 2.30 a.m. (let.) At 11 p.m. the course was altered half a point to the north ward, the night fine, but dark and rather hazy ; sea smooth. At 15 minutes past 12 (midnight) the ship suddenly struck, then going 104 knots, our position by dead reckoning being lat. 20 4 N., long. 37 60 E., both patent and ordinary logs having been kept going. Th. captain, second officer, and Arab pilot were on the bridge, and two lock outs forward. The ship remained hard and fast. Nothing was at first visible as the sea did not break, but ongoing forward could not make out very shoal water, with small fragments of rock just above the surface. Sounded and found two feet of water under the bow, 51 fathoms abaft the forechains, and no bottom with 240 fathoms over the stern. Immediat..ly the ship struck the engines were stopped and revers=d, guns, chain, cables, bto. brought aft, but without e ff ect , h er stem having cut about 15 feet into the coral rock, and having risen about 5 feet. In a few minutes the forward compartment was full of water up to the sea level. There was no confusion whatever, the crew and passengers being perfectly orderly. At daylight found the reef we had struck upon to be Guttal el Bunna, a small circular cord patch just under water. The ship's head was N.W. by N. half N., the island of Mujetta on port bow, and the mainland 10 miles distant. The ship must have been set by the current since noon the day previous 22 miles to the westward. Every exertion was used both by the commander, officers, and passengers to got her off, with out avail, until 5 a.m. of the 231, when she slipped off, having been 53 hours on the reef (the damage was serious—a large rugged Wein_ her fore compartment,. from the 11th to the 7th footmark). Turned ahead when she got off, intending to go to Cormish, on the Nubian coast, 45 miles distant, but she made too much water, and we were obliged to run for Duberdubb, 12 miles dis tant, where we ran the ship's head on the soft mud. Capt. Gough, R.N., the parser, and two passengers, with a portion of the mail, left in a native boat, taking them to Jiddah, on the Arabian coast, 120 miles diMant. Native boats were chartered to cruise in the offing t signal, if possible, any steamer that might be passing. After great exertions, lightening the ship, and making a " Californian" pump, which, with the other pumps, were kept going, we ultimately reached Suez on the 3d at 8 p.m. On the voyage to Saez we met the Hindostan, or rather she overtook us, and hearing that the mails, eto., were at Jiddah, she turned back to look for them, and bring them on, and the Admiralty agent and party, bat neither she nor the parties she went in search of had yet arrived then the Australasian left Alexandria, THT LATE M. ABBATUCCI. Di. Fould, Minister of State, delivered the fol lowing address at the conclusion of the funeral ser vice over the remains ofM. Abbatucci, in the chapel of Pere la Chaise : " Gentlemen,—An unexpected calamity, a profound grief, has brought us together. Fur the fifth time in six years we have been summoned to pay the last honours to a Minister of the E.nperor. Our colleague, our friend, be who has fallen before the time usually allotted to man, Jacques Pierre Charles Abbatucoi, was born in 1792, in that island which has been the cradle of the Im penal dynasty. His family, for a long period illustrious for their military services, gave three generals to Italy and two to France. His three uncles died on the field of battle. At the peace another career was opened to the young Abbatucci, in which be was destined to acquire a reputation not less illustri ous In the year 1316 be entered the magistracy to which he belonged during 33 years, and through every stage of which he passed. Elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1839, be gave proofs in this double career of the highest integrity, of remarkable penetration, and of the firmest independence. As deputy be voted for Parliamentary reform ; as magistrate he delivered a speech in the Constituent Assembly, demon strating the incompatibility of the national representation with the functions of a paid servant of the State. Suiting his actions to his votes, he refused in 1840 to become First President, and in 1849 he vacated his sea in the Court of Caseation to defend in the Le gislative Assembly the cause of order and the true principles of government. Shortly after, the Emperor, who esteemed him, and who was acquainted with him previous to his bring calved to direct the destinies of France, rewarded a noble career—a constant fidelity— by confiding to him the office of Minister of Justice. He thus became and remained during nearly six years the respected and beloved chief of that magistracy, with all whose wants and all whose obligations he was acquainted, because lie had religiously practised all its dillies. En dowed with great perspicacity, a prompt and accurate judgment, his advice, while deputy, was always sought and always attended to by the political party to which he belonged; animated with feelings of indulgent imparti ality, which proceeded from long experience and a noble soul, he was an excellent judge of human nature, and dur ing his period of office, which prematurely closed, be di rected the magi-tracy by inspiring all its members with a feeling that their merits were appreciated. His great kindness of heart gave a greater value to his favours, and he knew how to mitigate the pang of a refusal when necessary. Our laws bear lastivg marks of his inspira tions, By him criminal prosecutions Lave been accele rated—appeals from the police courts have been usefully centralised, and civil death has disappeared front our code. Other labours, unfinished but not lost, attest his solicitude for a progressive and continuous impulse to our legislation. To the councils of the Emperor be brought that moderation and sagacity which intellects of a high order derive from a long participation in political events. For these reasons our grief will long survive this melancholy ceremony in the recollection of us, his colleagues and friends, who were the daily witnesses of the firmness of his opinions and the sauvity of his tem per. That firmness and tbat suavity did not desert him at the hour of death—in his struggle with suffering, even when science sought a doubtful chance of recovery by the most painful of operations. The death of Po virtuous a man is a lesson and a consolation. He found within his own breast the best consolation for an incurable malady. The numerous proofs of afftc tion which were so justly given him by the magis tracy and the highest order of our fellow-citizens, the spontaneous effusion of ancient friendship —a last and affecting message from the Emperor—the pious devotion of his children, gave tranquillity to his last mo ment.

The balance of trade, we need hardly say, is the Jiff-rence between the exports and imports of a country ; thus the balance cf trade between -Eng land and ourselves is the difference b-tween our imports from and exports to England. The balance of trade is said to bo against a country when her imports exce: d her exports ; in that case she is bound to make up the deficiency either in specie or iu paper securities which her creditors agree to take. The natural law of commerce ought to make this country a creditor of all others, that is to say, ought to establish a balance of trade in our favour with evvry country with which we trade. For we produce a largi'r quantity and have a larger surplus of the necessaries of life than any foreign nation ; we need nothing from abroad half Eo much as foreigners need what we alone can send them, but, such has been the ingenuity of foreigners, so low the cost of labour in France and England, and so large the means and appetitesof our people, that this balance which should be in our favour has turned against us. For many years we have been heavy debtors to Euglaud. We have always taken of her manufactures so much more than she ha, taken of corn and cotton (tbough the has relied upon us for work and food for her people) that for years we have been compelled to get England to square the annual account, and pay up the balance of trade, over 30 millions of specie and more than 20 millions in the shape of paper securities of one kind or another. Without this we should have been a bankrupt nation. Last year there was an attempt made by some of the stockjobbers who were interested in the infla tion of values to show that the accounts of the year made out a balance of trade in our favour. We thought it worth while to explode this mischievous nonsense at the time, and we showed from the sta tistical records that timing the last fiscal year the balance of trade accumulated against us by England somewhat exceeds 42 millions of dollars. It need, of course, have been no such sum had our people possessed the moderation to restrict their purchases of foreign goods within convenient limits ; but we must take people as they are. The prospect then with which the present fiscal year was commenced was one in which the balance of trade, to be shown against us in June, 1858, would. figure at not less than forty millions. It appeared pretty certain in July last that there could not be much deviation from this figure. Merchants, bankers, and statesmen reasoned from itconfidently. All these reasonings and expectations have been overset by the revulsion. The whole fabric of our commercial system has been changed by the events of the past few weeks. In the first place, an enormous portion or the goods we have bought of England will not be paid fur at all. An impression prevails that the dry goods' dealers and some of the other importers have not by any means seen the worst of the crisis ; at any rate, it is well known that very many of them have been compelled to fail in their engage ments to their English correspondents, and that others will be compelled to pursue the same policy. Thus a great proportion of our debt to England will be wiped out by the dishonesty of the indivi duals who ows it. So far as the country is con cerned, the effect, barring the lo e of honour and credit, will bo the same as if the debt were paid in flouror gold. Again, the season of pressure, the close of which, it must be hoped, we are now rapidly ap proaching, has had the effect of compelling us to cur tail throughout all the grades of society. From the importer to the servant girl, everybody has curtailed in some measure or other. And the most obvious effect of the eh -nge may be found in that message sent a few days since by a body of New York merchants to Secretary Cobb, intimating that for 40 days not a single order for foreign goods had been sent out. This, of course, will largely aid our side of the commercial account, and greatly tend to diminish the balance that would be stored up against us. _ _ Whether the English, as a rule, will avail them selves of the present depreciated state of our public securities to effect further purchases to any con sidet able extent, cannot yet be foreseen ; we hear of orders to buy, but at the same time we see a state of things in England and Europe generally which leaves but little room for speculation of any kind. If more of our securities do go abroad under the effect of the present depreciation, why that wil also tend to disturb the usual balance of trade, and, help US . out of the English debt. Altogether it would not he surprising if for many weeks or months to come these three causes, viz., the insolvency of England's debtors here, the ces sation of importations, and the increase of invest ments by Englishmen in American securities of one kind or other, operated to make us England's credie tors, and to turn the balance of trade in our favour. RIOT AT LURGA.W. LURGAN, SATURDAY EVENING. There has not been such a riot in this part of the north these thirty years as occurred in this town last night. The rioters were the cambric weavers, who are at present in a state of excitement in the rural districts, on account of a reduction of wages which has taken place, consequent upon the unhappy condition of the foreign market, and the limited demand in the home market for linen goods. About noon, a public meeting, attended by upwards of 1,000 weavers, was held at a place called Shane-hill, which is three miles distant from this town, and at the meeting speeches weremade denunciatory of the reduction of wages, and expres sive of the strongest hatred and opposition to the power-loom weaving carried on by Mr. Malcolm and others, of Lurgan. Between three and four o'clock, after the meeting was over, the weavers came into this town in a body, their numbers having increased in the meantime to between 3,000 and 4,000 persons. Mr. Malcolm got intima tion of their coming, and he closed his factory, and barricaded the door within, as he suspected an at tack. His power-1 oom wo t kers were all in the inside to gether with head constable M'Carron and nine of the constabulary, who were armed, and determined to resist any attack upon the premises. Mr. Haed cock, J. P , Lord leureae's agent, was on the ground, and when the mob stopped in front of Mr. Malcom's establishment, he addressed them and advised them to go quietly to their homes. The mob shouted vociferously, and u. d menacing lanugage, calling upon Mr. Malcom to cicss his power-loam factory and turn it into flour mill, or else they would e reek it. A great many of tee crowd carried bludgeons, and others had fire-arms. They then paraded the town and when it became a little dark returned to Mr. Malcom's establishment again, and literally swarmed round the factory, which is situated in the rear of the dwelling-house. They renewed their shouts and menace,e, and then commenced a most violent attack wilh stones upon the doors and windows of the building. Firearms were discharged frequently, and the police were obliged to sally out of the factory, and charge the rioters will fixed bayonets. They succo?ded in capturing three of the rioters in the charge. The main body of the mob, having been driven away fi rem the factory, though it had been their determination to destroy tie machin ery, teen assembled in front of the dwelling-house and the large building used for lapping rooms, and flung showers of stones at windows anedoors. After demolishing 210 panes of glass, they went away uttering threats that they would return well armed again, and destroy the factory. Two of the rioters were severely wounded, one receiving a gunshot wound in the jaw, and the other a wound in th e h an d. The doctor who attended to them has serious appre hensions regarding thelife of the one wounded inthe jaw. The rioters distributedthemselves over the town and when passing the factory of Messrs. Armstrong and Watson, attacked it -in like manner, and smashed a great quantity of glass in the windows. They remained in the town till about 9 o'clock, when they left, much to the joy and satisfaction of the inhabitants, who were thrown into a frightful state of alarm by such lawless proceedings. Between 8 and 9 o'clock telegraphic messages were sent to Belfast, Portadowu, and Dublin by Mr. Handcock, for police assistance, aid at 10 o'clock 20 of the constabulary, under the command. of Sub-inspector Milling, arrived here, by special train, from Belfast. They were kept under arms all night, but there was no further disturbance. Mr. Malcom, whose establishment has been so wantonly singled out for attack, is a highly respect able manufacturer. He affords employment to 200 persons in his power-loom factory, and nearly 1,000 weavers, sewers, and hand-spinners in the country daily. and if he were obliged to close his establish ment and give into mob law and violence, the loss would be great to the community. This morning, at 10 o'clock, the three prisoners namely, Wm. Whit e , Th os . F ugar d, and David_ John ll e l s— a w n e d i c •e ock:andj brought b o e h fo n re Greer W. N. *. exa mination.
