CITY, Two o'CLocE. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was firmer, and there was a good demand for Brazilian Ilealities. The sales were 12,000 bales, nearly half . o f Which were taken on speculation, and the rest for export. The Railway Share Market presented a Stronger aspect, at firmer values. The Bank of England weekly return made up to the 13th inst., is generally viewed with satisfaction by all persons interested in an improved money Market. The changes presented above that the Aeasure of Thursday last was forced upon the directors, for if they had continued to exact 6i per cent. as the minimum, they would have no doubt found that their discount business was, gradually diminishing. The reserve of notes is now nearly l iX millions sterling, and for the first time for some Weeks there is a favourable movement in the other s ecurities; The bullion has increased and is now nearly eleven millions sterling. In the other de partmenti an amendment is also apparent, and 311d ging from present appearances it is not im probable that a further reduction in the rate of discount will soon take plat'. The principal items and the changes they present are as subjoined.

Weg g Prosser, Eeq., formerly member for Hereford-_ 20 shire, and who a few years since seceded from the 5 Church of England.— Cheltenham Examiner. 20 FATAL ACCIDENT. —Yesterday evening an inquest 20 Was held at St. George's Hospital, Hyde-park-corner, 33, before Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, on the 10 body of Mr. Giles Pocock, aged 38, late steward to 20 the Junior United Service Club, who was killed by 20 being thrown from his horse in Mount-street, Gros- 16 16 venor•square, on Tuesday morning last. The jury re- 1g turned a verdict of "Accidental Death." The deceased, 20 who was much respected, has left a widow and family. 20 The District Surveyorship for the Western division of the City is now vacant, and the Metropolitan Board of 10 Works will shortly be called upon to elect a surveyor to 20 fill the office. In these times,when old houses are falling 5 about us, perhaps for the want o f proper supervision , it 20 behoves the Board of Works to select well-established 10 men of tried ability and known com p etenc y . In makin g 2 03 0 a judicious choice , w e are assured there exists but little difficulty, as 181 we find among the candidates the name of Mr. Richard Tress (of the firm of Tress and Chambers), an architect of no small reputation, under whose direc tion the City of London Union Workhouse at Bow, the Central London great range of schools, and many other well-known edifices, have been erected. He is surveyor o the Cutlers' Company, and is well-known in the City ai a skilful and an attentive man to his trust, a satisfac- _ tory guarantee that in his keeping the appointment Would be safe. Whether the Board elect Mr. Tress or ! any other person, we hope to see the office filled by one capable of preserving our lives from the danger of w out buildings buildings falling upon us as we progress through the streets. The late catastrophe in Tottenham -court-road lia proof of the necessity. HAMPSTEAD HEATII.—At the weekly meeting of the St. Pancras Vestry, a communication was read from Sir B. Hall announcing that a bill had been brought into Parliament having for its object such an alteration of the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill as would enable Sir T. M. Wilson to carry out his views with regard to building at Hampstead heath, and e xp r essive of a fear that, unless some steps were taken to effect its purchase, the object of the alteration might be effected. After some discussion, condemnatory of the conduct of the Metropolitan Board of Works, Mr. Farrer moved that a petition be presented to both Houses of Parlia ment, praying them not to pass a bill removing the re striction on Sir T. M. Wilson, as contemplated by the alteration of the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill, and also praying the legislature to take such mea sures as may tend to preserve the heath of Hampstead for the health and pleasure of the artisans and inhabit. ants of the metropolis, and the general public. The Rev. R. Eokett seconded the motion, and it was carried xnanium aoly. ll.AttE NL/IgKtsTS—;This Day.) RAILWAYS. Closing Price; I Business don* this day this day. J s Paid RAILWAYS. Ambg. Nottng.

EXCHEQUER, CHAMBER. WRIT OF ERROR. LLEWELLYN AND OTHERS, V. T}l SWANSEA CANAL NAVIGATION COMPANY. This was a writ of error from the Court ',or Exche quer, in which counsel were fully heard 7th of February k last, and the case stood over r coc sideratior. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn now delivered judgment. The point of contention was whether the water taken to supply and fill up the lock in which one of the com pany'6 barges was sunk, and raised by the water taken to fill up the lock, was chargeable at the rate of 101. par lock, a water supplied for navigation purposes, under articles of indenture entered into between the parties. The Lord Chief-Justice was of opinion that the water supplied to fill up the lock, which was emptied to raise the sunken barge—was water supplied for navigation purposes, and as such was fairly c hargeable at 101. in term of the articles of indenture. That the decision of the Court of Exchequer upon this third point should be reversed, and upon the second points affirmed. • The other judges concurred. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) EX-PARTS.-IMPORTA.NT APPLICATION TO DISCHARGE PROM CUSTODY. Mr. Salamans, of the firm of Abbott and Salamans, applied to . his Honour for the discharge of a bankrupt out of custody. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Salamans that his Honour bad suspended the bankrupt's certificate, and no protection to be granted for three months. After this decision one of the creditors ob tained a certificate from the Court, which operated in the nature of a ca. sa. in the law courts, and the bank rupt was taken to the Queen's Bench Palen. His health, however, was so materielly affected that a medi cal gentleman granted a certificate to that effect. Mr. Salamans submitted that under the 256th section of the act the Court had power to discharge. His Honour did not consider that he had any power He was bound to d 3 that which the act prescribed, viz., on the suspension of the certificate to grant a certificate on which the creditors might act. Mr. Salamans said there was no doubt that the legisla ture contemplated this as a punishment in the discretion of the Court, which might, under the circumstances, remit any portion of the period. His Honour said he reluctantly came to the conclusion that be had no power in .such a case. The Court had unquestionably a power to.-discharge on the application of the detaining creditor, but not otherwise. Mr. Salamans said that he would serve a notice on the creditor to show cause, and renew his application on a future day. His Honour said that he would gladly accede to the request of the creditor, but, as far as the law went, he did not consider be could interfere, although the bank rupt might die in prison. The application was therefore adjiurned. AQUATICS. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The schooner race which took place yesterday was ren dered this year more important than usual, by prizes being given to two classes instead of one-1001 in value for the first, and 80/. for the second. The prize for the first class was a very beautiful ewer by Garrett, and for the second a soup tureen by Smith ; and the distance to be sailed was from Gravesend to the Idouse Light and back to Greenhithe, a distance of nearly 60 miles, with a quarter of a minute time allowed by the larger to the smaller ves sels, up to 150 tons, but no time scale above. The Prince of Wales steamer had been procured by Mr. Hutchins, the treasurer, and left London-bridge at ten precisely, with a numerous and fashionable party on board. The Prince of Wales arrived at Gravesend at 12, where the following were found at their stations : FIRST CLASS, EXCEEDING 75 TONS. YACHTS. TONS. OWNERS. Zouave 99 Messrs. 8.. Arabin. May kly ll3 G. P. Bidder. SECOND CLASS. Aquiline Wild Fire 6O J. Turner Turner. Vestal There was a very large stake of money depending upon the result. By Hunt's " 'Universal Yacht List" we find that the Zouave wag built by Katsey, and belongs to Grimsby ' • the May Fly, by White ; the Aquiline, by Harvey ; the Wildfire, by Hanson ; the Vestal, by Inman. It was the first time the Zouave had ever shown in the London river. She was spoken very highly of, as having both apace and seaworthy properties, and when it was found that she had no other opponent than the May Fly, the batting would probably have gone to any extent upon her could takers have been found. The Aquiline, a very pretty craft, was not at all in request, it being considered that the race must unquestionably lay betweeen the Wild fire and the Vestal, and so it turned out. 'There was wind enough for anything, and so much for those afloat that they had to reef in their mainsail. The wind was mainly from the east, although it varied slightly throughout the day; and this gave the yachts a dead foul wind down, and a flowing sheet up. Lord Alfred Paget was the commander for the day, assisted by Mr. R. Greene, the worthy vice-commodore, and at p.m. 30 mio. 47 sec the signal to start was given. It was a very beautiful race throughout, and it finished thus Vestal 7 16 Wildfire — '2O 15 Zouave - — 24 30 Aquiline - 46 The Vestal allowing a quarter of a minute per ton, and the difference being 14 tons, gave her the victory by the time we have described, and beating the Zouave, she took the first prize. She won, according to club time, by a few reconds more. MARKNT NEM.— (This D 13) .) COVENT GARDEN.

POLICE INT. ;.—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN EXPENT3IVI7IOiETLAt:gustus Lascelles, an ill looking Frenchman, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with attempting to garotte Pierre Sartori, the manager of the Turkish Divan, 68, Haymarket. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, which was interpreted - to the Court by Mr. Albert, that about two o'c'ock this morning he was proceeding down the Haymarket, dressed in the Turkish costume, when the prisoner came stealthily behind him, and seized him with both hands by the throat, with the intention no doubt of garotting a-ol then •robbing him. Prosecutor alter a sharp struggle managed to get out of the prisoner's grasp, and as soon as he could cry out, he called police, and a constable came up and rescued him from the prisoner who was taken to the Ftation. Police-constable 117 0, said on hearing the cry of " Police," he ran to the spot and saw the prisoner in the act of grasping the prosecutor by the throat, and three more apparently companions of the prisoner were standing close by looking on. Witness at once ran up and collared the prisoner, but the other three men ran off. Mr. Albert proved that the prisoner was a notorious bad character, having been sentenced to the galeya for five years. He, however, contrived to effect his escape from France before the sentence was carried out. The prisoner had also been convicted in this country. The prisoner, in defence, said it was all a joke, and pinching the prosecutor he merely intended to frighten him. Mr. Bingham was inclined to think that a robbery was not intended. A serious assault had, however, been committed, for which he must be fined 51, or two months.

Rock, in the Court of Queen's Bench, was concluded yesterday. It was an action of ejectment brought by Thos. Ambler, as the heir-at-law of Benjamin Ambler, to recover pos session of a house and premises situate in Highbury. The defendant claimed to be entitled to the property under the will of Benjamin Ambler. The plaintiff , was non-suited. U N 11. 20, 185 7; SOUTHWARK. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WlFE.—Thomas Iris, a middle-aged, respectable-look ing man, waiter at a large tavern in the vicinity of this Court, was brought before Mr. Combs, charged with committing a murderous assault upon Margaret Iris, his wife, and stabbing her in the right side of her face with a knife. The complainant, whose face was much disfigured, stated that she had been married to the defendant 20 years, and had 13 children by him. For some time past he bad neglected her and the children for another woman, which continually caused words between them. On the previous night she met him at the tavern, when they both went home together, apparently very comfort able, but as soon as they entered the house he abused her, and struck her with his fists. He then threw a chair at her, and broke every thing he could lay his hands on ; and as she was about to quit the house by the street door he stabbed her near the right eye with a knife he bad in his hand, and then she called out " Po lka I" and " Murder !" A constable came up at the the time and took him into custody. When he threw the chair at her he had a knife in his hand, and she then struck him. After that be stabbed her, but she did not think he meant to do her any harm. The prisoner said it was all through his wife's tongue, which was always abusing him whenever they met each other. She wa3 jealous of him, and he could assure his worship she had no occasion to be so, as he had nothing to do with other women. Mr. Combe asked 'him what he had to say for stabbing his wife ? He replied that it was done by accident, when she was assaulting him. He declared that he had no intention to hurt her. The wife here informed his worship that he continually ill-used her, but at the same time she did not want to hurt him provided ho would be kind to her for the future. Mr. C(;mbe told her he could not allow such a mur derous assault to pass over. He should sentenee the prisoner to six months' hard labour, and at the txpira• tion of that time he must find bail for six months longer. Prisoner (laughing)—That's just what I want. That will serve her out. THAMES. CONVICTION FOR SMUGGLING TOBACCO--Henry Amatty, William Wicks, and Ge ,, rge Walker, lighter men, were brought before .Mr. Yardley charged on a Custom-house information with smuggling 83 lb 4. of foreign manufactured tobacco, by which they had in cnrred a penalty of 1001. each. A clerk from the Customs Solicitor's-office attended on the part of the Crown. It appeared that a Thames police constable named Major, No. 30; was looking after the prisoners, whom he had for some time suspected to be smugglers, and saw Walker leave a beat at Irongato Stairs near the Tower, look about him, and then go back and speak to Wicks, who was in the boat, and say, "let us have it, it's all right." Wicks raised a bag cantairing something very heavy. Walker was proceeding towards Tower bill with his load when he was interrupted by Major, who asked him what he was carrying, to which be replied that he did not know. Major esizad the bag, and opened it, and found it to contain tobacco. The officer believed the weed had just been imported in a foreign steamer. Mr. Claridge, appraiser of condemned goods, in the Quen's warehouse, said the tobacco was of foreign manufacture, and hale to a duty of 93. 5d per lb. The prisoners made no defence, and Mr. Yardley sen tented them to pay a fine of 1001. each, and in default of payment to be imprisoned for six months. They were committed accordingly. CONVICTION OF LASCABS AND CHINAMEN FOR VIO LATION OF THE COMMON LODGING-HOUSE ACT—Tikh Abdalla, a Lascar, was charged by Inspector Prica with violating the act of parliament regulating common lodg- ing houses. Police Sergeant Maddigan, No. 51 A., raid he visited the defendant's house in Bluega'e-fields, Shadwell. It was not registered. The defendant and his wife, an Englishwoman, and their child were in one bed, and two Lascars were sleeping under it. There was another Lacar asleep in a cupboard under the stairs and two omen of the town slept in two separate rooms. The defendant said he did not keep a lodging-house, and called Elizabeth Wilion, who said she occupied a roirn in Abdalla's house, and occasionally tack home men. Mr. Mid, one of the inspactors of common lldging houses, said the prisoner had been convicted four times and fined 10s., 405., 31., and and repeatedly warned. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was a most incorigible offender, and he would not allow any one to keep one part of his dwelling as a lodging-house and the other part as a brothel. 136 fined the prisoner 51., and in default of payment one month's imprisonment. Arze, a Chinaman of Bluegate-fields, was charged with a similar offence. Sergeant Kirby, No. 53 A, found three Chinamen in the same room as the defendant. The house was in a most filthy state, and not registered. Mr. Yardley fined the dependant Si. MINI4VG INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Mining Journal of this day ) Another serious fall in the standard for copper ores has been the chief topic of conversation in mining circles during the week, and various plans have been propound. ed to remedy the present unsatisfactory state of the , copper market. Now, it appears to us there are two ways of bringing the smelters to book, and one or the other should be adopted at once. The first is, let share holders conset to forego dividends for six months, that the produco of the mines brought to market may not be more than enough to meet current expenses ; if the Devon Great Consols, North and West Bas set, Great South Tolgns, and a few under the same management, were to set the example, it would be quickly followed by others, and from 5000 to 6000 tons of ore per month would be withdrawn from the market, and the furnanes of the smelters be left .comparatively idle. The other plan, and the one most likely to succeed, would be a miners' smelting company, formed by a com bination of mining shareholders, capitalists, managers of mines, and consumers of copper ; and for a company of this sort, under proper management, and the Limited Liability Act, almost any amount of capital would be subscribed, for that no business is so profitable as smelt ing is well known, and every person holding a share in a mine would be interested in subscribing. To show the miner how his profits are diminished by the present smelt ing monopoly has often been our task ; let us again refer to the system under which he is compelled to sell his pro duce. The smelters are also the merchants in copper, and regulate the price of copper for the consumer and the ore for the miner, and both, it is scarcely necessary to say, , fo suit their own purposes. A mine having ore for sale "samples" it a fortnight before his sold, and during this fortnight all the smelters take samples and have assays made, so that they know its exact value. The ticket ings, or weekly sales, supposed to he species of auctions, are nothing of the kind, for the smelters, or their agents i meet together before the sale, and arrange, not oily for the parcels each may require, but the prices they will give for them, so that as one will not bid against the other there is no competition, and the miner is compelled to take the price offered, because he has to rely upon the proceeds to meet his monthly expenses, in wages to men, So., no advances can be got, except upon ore sales, for the smelters are the only bankers in the mining districts, and they are also the merchants, supplying materials, from candles to steam-engines. How nicely, therefore, the whole thing works for the monopolists ! They keep down the price of ore at starvation point to the miner, until they get in a large stock of metal ; and to get a good profit out of the consumer of copper, they next meet in London, and put up the price ld. or 2d. per lb. Then to raise the spirits of the miner a bit, and to induce him to go on raising all he can, the standard creeps up, week after week, for a time. Well, baying sold their large stock, the metal world is startled some fine morning with a drop of ld. per lb. in copper; and the mining world knows but too well that it is the pre cursor—in fact, the pita for again reducing the price of ore, preparatory to laying in another stock. We would ask any one who may have watched the market for the last 20 years, Is this picture overdrawn ? And what will the uninitiated think of the following t The miner is compelled to sell 21 cwts. to the ton ; here the smelter gets 5 per cent., and a mine selling 1,000 tons a month loses 50 tons of ore —say 2501. The expense of reducing ore to metal is about 1/. ls. per ton on the ore ; and in any other branch of business a manufac turer buying a crude material, to manufacture into an article upon which he realises a large profit, would be at the expense of the manufacture. Not so the smelters ; they make the miners pay by deducting 21. 15. per ton from all the ores they buy, as returning charges. Ore of 5 per cent. produce, at a standard of 1301., is worth 61. 10s. per ton ; the smelter deducts 21. 15s. per ton. Now, supposing copper itself to be 1151. per ton (21. less than its quoted value), the fair value of the ore, at a produce of 5 per cent., is Si. 15: , . per ton, according to the price of the copper; and then, even allowing the smelter 1/. Bs., the real cost of returning, the miner should receive 41. 7s. instead of 31. 155., and a mine selling 1,000 tons per month loses 6004 lrlitr* 'lJttton SUN 0 FFICE, k'iroc o'Clock. RUSSIA.

THE Two ARISTOCRACIES, by Mrs. Gore, in three volumes, is just published by Messrs. Hurst and Blackett. In this last and pleasantest of her novels, Mrs. Gore has given us the ideal of the grand feature of the age, led the pageant of ancestral glories amidst the rattling looms of commerce, and welded into images of all that is lovely in life and noble in character, the tra ditions of our nobles and the d ar i ng energies of our men o ftrade. We need scarcely add, the book being by Mrs. Gore, that the lightning flash of satire relieves with its lustre the swiftly alternating scenes of pathos and passion. "The Two Aristooraci:s" is likely to be the most popular novel of this 405911. TB AL. A meeting of merchants and others interested in the Suez Canal project assembled in the Commer cial-rooms, Bristol, on Thursday, to hear explana tions from Mr. D. A. Lange, as representative of M. de Lesseps, as to the objects, advantages, and feasibility of the enterprise. Mr. T. P. JOSE, Master of the Society of Mer chant Venturers, was called to the chair ; and there were present M. de Lesseps, the Chevalier de Mas carelhas, Portu gue e C onsu l ; Messrs. Bevan, Wright, Wheeler, Wood, Bruce, Thomas, and other gentlemen. After stating the object of the meeting the chairman called on Mr. D. A. Lange. Mr LANGE commenced by s t a ti ng th a t th e Vice roy of Eiypt had granted a concess i on t o M. d e Lesseps, empowering him to form a company for constructing a canal through !he Isthmus for Suez. Several of the most Eminent engineers of Europe had reported facourab!y as to the feasibility of the scheme. The distance to be cut through was only 92 miles, the width of the canal would be 329 feet in some parts, and 262 feet in others, and its depth 26 feet. The soil was well adapted for its forma tion, being compost, and the depression along the entire tract of the Isthmus where the canal has to be cut, was in its favour. There was no perceptible difference in the level of the two seas, consequently no locks would be required, and vessels would be able to he towed right through, without any delay or impediment, in about ten hours. There would be a charge of ten frarcs per ton on the regular ton nage of the ships, inclusive of the expense of towage, and vessels could, if required, coal at Port Timsah, a harbour situated half way along the canal. The Viceroy had granted a lease to the company of the , lands through which the canal had to be made for 99 years, be-ides a grant of 250,000 acres, likely to he extremely productive, and had, at his own ex pense, commenced the branch canal from Cairo to Lake Timsah, about 60 miles. The cost of execu ting this canal would be about 360,0001., and it was necessary for the project, for purposes of irrigation, for carrying on the trade between Lake Timsah and Cairo, and for supplying sweet water for the execu tion of the labours of the grand canal. As to the anticipated advantages, Mr. Lange stated that, notwithstanding the number of vessels employed by the Peninsular and Oriental Company, the traffic was so rapidly increasing that only the other day the company announced their intention of clespa Ching extra steamers both for the outward and homeward voyage. The dangers of the Cape route were universally known, whereas the Red Red Sea is admitted to be of easy navigation. By the Cape route coaling stations were few ; and though the construction of such enormous ships as the Gireat Eastern was intended to obviate that difficulty, it was too much to suppose that the trade with India and China could afford to wait for the general construction of such vessels, and it was satisfactory to owners of the present class of steam vessels to know that the opening of the Suez canal would enable them t 3 maintain their position in the shipping trade. By the canal route they would have the advantage of coaling stations at Gibraltar, Malta, Ports Said, and Aden. Three hundred failures had taken place at Melbourne in one year owing to the present uncertain mode of. transit. With regard to India the great Indian cotton question had been recently brought before the country. Attention bad Leen directed to Can deish in India, a province consisting of 5,000,000 acres, and capable of supplying all the cotton wants of England. But the great difficulty in carrying out this desirable end was the want of regularity and the delay in transit. Now the opening of the Suez Canal would enable steam-vessels of all sizes. to contribute to these requirements. Sailing ves sels, too, might largely share in the advantages of the shorter route. The capital required was 8,000,000/. At 5 per cent. that would give a sum of 400,0001. annually. To that was to be added 63,0001. for the annual maintenance of the canal. Now it only required two vessels of 2,500 tons each to yield double that sum. The annual amount of t )nn.age passing round the Cve from countries in Europe is 3,000,000 tons, of which we might calculate on two-thirds passing through the canal, and if the future probable deve lopment of our trade, especially with China, was looke I to, the success of the scheme appeared even. more decided. After dilating at some length on the impulse which the canal would afford to the guano trade, and to that of a variety of African and Abyssinian production; Mr. Lange stated that nearly the whole of the capital bad been reserved, and in the following proportions :=Egypt and Turkey, two millions ; Germany, Holland, and Belgium, one million ; North of Europe, oue million ; United States, • Spain, and Italy, one million ; Fiance, 1,500,0007.; England, 1,500,000'. When the news arrived in Egypt that it had been decided to reserve only two millions for Egypt, including Turkey, great disappointment was felt, and although the list had never been fully opened, the shares, much against the wish of M. de Lessepct, were sold at 8 and 9 per cent. premium. In reply to questions, Mr. Lange stated that it was part of the scheme to keep steamers to tow vessels through the canal, and that no extra charge would be made for them ; that it was uncertain whether steamers would be kept at Gibraltar by the company or by some private company ; and that with regard to the shifting of the sand in the Mediterranean, the engineers had made particular inquiry and reported favourably. Mr. R. P. KING - moved, and Mr. E. SLAUGHTER seconded, the following resolution :—" That this meeting is gratified with the explanations afforded. by M. de Leseeps and Mr. Lange, and highly ap proves of the proposed ship canal across the Isth mus of Suez, being of opid .n that it is of great importance to the commerce of the whole world, and that it would afford facilities which no railway could present." The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. E. BBVAN moved, and Mr. R. BRUCE seconded, a resolution that a memorial, founded on the foregoing resolution, should be entrusted to the members for the City for presentation to parlia ment. The resoluqon was carried unanimously. After a vote of thanks to M. de Les9eps, Mr. I.lno, and the chairman, the proceedings termi nated. LLOILY3 SHIPPING.—(Tbis Day.)
