CITY, Two o'Ccociz. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closcd quietly, at previous prices. The sales were esti mated at 2,000 bales. The Railway Share Market Presented a dull appearance, and prices of all de scriptions were at a slight decline. Notwithstanding the general soundness of trade an occasional failure takes place, and among the latt two or three days that of Messr=. Forster, Rutty, Hail, and Co., Scotch and Manchester 'arehousemen, has been announced. It is stated that the liabilities will exceed 50,0001., and the assets are not likely to yield a satisfactory dividend. Very little alteration occurred yesterday after noon in the rate of exchange for three months' bills drawn upon the Continent, but the tendency was still unfavourable. A further supply of 342,1521. in Australian gold hay arrive I by the Swiftsure, and thus it is pre aunied that the withdrawals of bullion from the 11 ank will be temporarily arrested, notwi•h4and ing the continuous demand for silver for shipping to the East. During the last few days more than a million sterling his arrived, ara farther remit tances from Australia are daily expected. The greater part of these receipts will, no dOubt, be taken abroad, but it will afford much 'satiqfaction to those interested in the course of monetary affairs, if a further depression of the Bank vaults is pre *vented. Silver continues firm, at 62d. per ounce standiri, and the demand is supported. The meeting of the Scinde Railway Company to-day was for considering the resolution of a f ormer meeting for establishing au Indus flotilla, which being confirmed, the meeting adjourned. The Waterloo has arrived from New South Wales, but she is not supposed to have any gold on board. This morning another portion of the Austra lian mail arrived in town, so that there have now been five deliveries. We have often had occasion to call attention to the gross negligence on the part of the postal authorities at Liverpool, and it is Sincerely hoped that the carelessness exhibited in the present instance will excite a remonstrance from those engaged in tEe Australian trade. The arrangements at Liverpool are either defective, or the officials are incompetent to discharge their duties efficiently. The commercial bills are stated to have been Well met yesterday, and no serious failures are an nounced. There is still a good inquiry for accoro_ 11 Iodation, and in some 'quarters the possibility of an advance in the rate of discount, caner to-mor zow or next week, has been discussed. Continued depression is the prevailing feature of the English Stock Macke', a further declen sion of per cent. having resulted from the trans actions concluded this morning. While there is an absence of good news from India no improvement can be looked for, - and in the meantime speculation f or a decline is carried on with confidence. The Public being attracted by the low prices of consols, Purchased for investment, but not extensively, and t heir operations fail to support the market. While most persons an'icipate even a lower range, it is Certain that some day 'a violent reac‘ ion will occur, It this is unlikely, unlesss the mutiny is satisfac °rilY suppressed. This desirable end is not expected , " Gh e accomplished at once or without a serious outlay, an d this impression, together with several minor adverse influences, including the position of affairs 111 Persia, Asc., induces the time dealer to antici Pate further depression rather than symptoms of P e rmanent recovery. Consols for transfer have been 3011 and 89/ 90. The present present price 34 , 93 ii, and for September about 908, a sudden "Provement having just occurred.

The Foreign Market has remained quiet, and the drooping tendency of the Funds produces a heavy tone in the other departments of the Stock Exchange.

Another priest, who appears to have been the leader, has escaped. The coining was carried on in the K ruse of one of these priests, and must have been con dne ed on .a large scale, as five carts, each drawn by 'our oxen were required to remove the implements and Machinery after the seizure. English sovereigns, which are curre n t i n P or t uga l a t 4,soo re is each, seem t o h ave b een the chic-f manufacture, but Spanish ounces and !self-ounces of Charles 111. were also fnund. The trade has hitherto been conducted with impunity, but it is hoped th a t th e present measure w ill b e vigorously fol lowed up, and that steps will be taken to detect and re. hen the forgers o f Brazilian note', regarding whom ous eXpostnlations hare lately been addressed to the Portuguese Government by the Brazilian Minister.

POLTOE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) SOUTHWARK. STRIVE AMONG THM FURCUTTERS.—INTIMIDATION AND AeSAULT.—Mary Sweeny, a young woman, in the employ of Messrs. Donald de Clermont and Co., furriers, furcuttere, and hatters of taple-strset, Long-lane, Bet , naorirLey, and Paris, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with assaulting Ann Wells, a girl is the same factory. The complainant, a well-behaved girl, said that the females employed struck for more wages on the previous day and intimidated others to juin them. Witness boing an apprentice went to her work as usual, and as she was entering the factory the prisoner came up to her and told her if she did not join the strike she would serve her out. She replied that she could not comply with the request as she was perfectly satisfied, and as she was leaving her she struck her a violent blow on the eye. A policeman was coming past at the time and he took her into custody. Mr. C6mbe asked how many girls were employed at the factory Mr. Young, the manager, replied that • there were 120, and gonerally they were well behaved. They earned from 9s. to 12s. a-week regularly, and took it into their beads to demand more. The firm refused to comply with their unreavnable request, when nearly all of them struck for wages. The complainant was an apprentice, and that was the reason they picked her out for vengeance. Mr. Combe asked whether they- had ever struck before ! Mr. Young replied in the affirmative, but that was 'our years ago. The prisoner stated she only asked the complainant io go with them, and they had some words, and a fight ensued. That wa., however, denied. Mr. Combe said it was clear she had committed the assault, and as a caution to her he should, fine her 20s. or 14 days. Such conduct cluk: not be allowed, and if it was repeated by any of the others, he should punish them with great severity THAMES. A. VERY STRANGECHARACIPER. Maria Murray, a young w oman, was brought before Mr. Yar charged with stealing a gold vuitcb, value fig., from John Middleton Griffith, an engineer. The prosecutor, a strange looking fellow, who gave his evidence in a strange manner, said that last night he met the prisoner in or near Aldgate, as the case might be, and the young woman and himself did not join another company male or female, but she straight way and direct took him to a house, No. 10, Lambeth street, Whiteclaapel, and they went into a room, the door of which he locked and put his gold watch and his money on the table. He then went to bed, and awoke at about three o'clock this morning and jumped out of bed, and said, " My watch and money, where is it ?" He went to the table, and his watch was gone. He said to the prisoner, in plain English, " You have stolen my watch, and I shall go to the police station." She said, "Do so," and I w , nt and fetched a policeman. Mr. Yere.ley—Was the door looked when you awoke this morning ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Yardley—And your money, where was that / Witness—Safe, sir, on the table. Mr. Yardley—Were you drunk last night?

GRAHAM asked tha Under Secretary of the Treasury, to state the special cirduinstances connected with this subject that rendered this application necessary. As he understo ad the question, the trustees of the Dunbar Harbour had made an application to the Exchequer Loan Commis sioners for an advance which they had refused, and the present application to Parliament was the consequence. was no doubt desirable to make a harbour of refuge between the Humber and the Foith for the protection of the coasting trade, but be thought Hartlepoel posessed the best natural fee lilies for that pnrpoae, and he was therefore surprised to find this ap plication for Dunbar, which did not offer the accommo dation r,qeired. In all cases the advances of the Ex chequer Loan Company had been disas!rous to the un dertakings that had applied for their asdstance. Mr. A. SMITH said he objected to the second read ing last night (Tuesday) in order that explanation might be given by the Government relative to the application. The construction of the pier in Dun bar Harbour cost 14,0001., and ho wished to know where the money came •roin. He was inclined to believe that it would be found it came out of the public funds. The Scotch Fisheries Commissioners had reported on the state of the harbour, and staad that it would require 6,000/, to repair the injery it had sustained by tile sea. He denied that Dunbar Harbour was of the importance that had been stated. He asked for an explanation why the bill was introduced as a public awl not a private bill, at so late a peino I of the session, and why 20,0001. was to be guaranteed, when 6,0001. had been reported sufficient for the repars, and the trustees had the means of raising that sum. Mr. WILSON said that nothing wa,, more dangerous than the endeavour to cause the Exchequer Loan Coin inissionet s to vary their determinatioa relative to the advance of money. The bill was required to net rid of a technical difficulty, and did not deprive the Exchequer Loan Commissioners of any powers under their act of in• quiring into the security for the advance of the money The trusteeshad power to borrow 5,0001. on the toile', but they required 20,0001. more to effectually repair the piers, and the bill was rendered necessary in Cause quence. The security had been approved of. Dunbar harbour was a harbour of refuge for fishing boats, and not for general shipping, and the piers had been erected for their accommodation and security. Unfortunately, the pier was defectively conqiucted, and a portion of it had been destroyed, and it was to repair it that 5,001/. were required by the harbour commissioners. They had applied to Government to take the pier and the tolls into their hands, but they bad declined. • Mr. HENLEY said the effect of that arrangement would be to continue the tolls on the people of Dunbar against their conceit. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the object of the bill was to allow the trustees of Dunbar Harbour to borrow of the Government instead of insurance companies. The perpetuation of the rates was not involved in the question. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY doubted the security for the money to be advanced, which was tolls to he levied on lobsters and herrings. He asked to be informed of the amount of debts oue by the corporation, together with their gro-s income, cost of collection, &e. He un derstood the tru tees had already borrowed 5,0001. Mr. CARDWELL said that if there was a prior loan the effect of this loan would be to override prier mort gages. Ile considered the bill ought not to be pro ceeded with before the mortgagees had received notice of the application. Sir F. BARING thought more information should be given why 20,0001. were required. Mr. WI LSON explained the power of the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, which was to:end money on Pal liainentary security. From information he had obtained, he believed there was no prior mortgage. He would make inquiries, and if he found it true lie would with• clrtw the bill, and be no party to such a proceeding. (Hear, bear ) With regard to the security, he was act ing on the instructions of the Exchequer Loan C immis sioners, who Lad investigated the matter. The sum of 20,0001. was required in consequence of the report of the Scotch Fisheries Commissioners and an eminent engineer. The bill was then read a second time. SUPPLY. In reply to a question from Mr. Maarers, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Divorce and itlatrirnonial Causes Bill would be pro ceeded with on Friday. HORSE ARTILLERY FOR INDIA. Col. NORTH exeressed his disapprobation of the an swer given by the Under-Secretary for War relative to his question in the early part of the day. It was the duty of the Government to send out the Artidery in an efficient state, both as regarded men and equipments. Sir J. RAMSDEN said that a second requisition had been sent to the War Office from the East India Com pany for horse artillery, but be was unable to state what number the two requisitions would make up. Lord A. V. TEI\IPEST called on the Government to state what arrangements they bad made for meeting the crisis in India. The country had a right to that information. Col. SYKES, on the part of the East India Com pany, said that no expense would be spared to put down the outbreak. (Hear, hear.) MILITIA ESTIMATES. In reply to a question from Mr. DISRAELI, The CHANCELLOR of the EX.O El EQUER said he could not then state when the militia estimates would be taken. There would be a committee of supply on Monday, but he could not state if they would be then brought on. The house then went into committee of supply. 2,0001. was agreed to for the Board of Manufactures in Scotland ; 5,0001. for the Commissioners of High ways, Roads, and Bridges in Scotland. On ties vote of 10,0001. for bounty of slaves and slavers captured by her Majesty's cruisers, Sir F. BARING said that last year 12,0001. was voted, 2,0001. only was paid on the vote, and he wished to know what had become of the balance? Mr. WILSON said he was unable to answer the ques tion. If desired, he would furnish a detailed account. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY reminded the house that in 1855 and 1851 12,0001, was voted in each year, and now 10,0001. was asked for.

On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Colonel NORTH', in the absence of General Coal-jog ton, a:lied the Under Secretary for War the reason for sending only 140 men to the East Indies as the com pliment 'of a troop of horse artillery when the war comple.tnent of such a troop was 253 men. Sir J. ItAMSDEN said that this force of artillery had been put under orders for India in the satne way as &1 troops in compliance with a requisitiou male to the home Government by the East India Company. That requisition specified the number to be sent. The number of each troop and company required had been so arranged as to bring the total force within the requi• sition made by the E tst India Company ; and that was the reason why this particular number had been de• cided on. BUSINESS OF THE DAY. Mr. SPOONEft objected to the house going into supply before the orders of the day were dtwose , l of. Such a course vvaa contrary to usual pracloe, and de prived private members of proceeding with their bilk. He moved that supply be postponed till af•er the dis posal of order No. 12 (Election Petition all). Sir G. GREY defended the worse proposed to be adopted by the Government from the period of the mes ,ion. He, however, consented to the orders of the dey being taken seriatim, and supply afterwards, GREAT 1. 7 A.R.110UT11 ELECTION.

GREY expressed his objection is the and moved that it be read a third a time this day three months. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. Spooner, Mr. Newdegate, and M r . H en l e y t oo k p a rt. Mr. MAINS suggested that the bil; should be with. drawn. Mr. SPOONER, in the absence of Mr. Adderley, the promoter of the bill, said that as Pat liament had affirmed the principle of the La, he would consent to that course. The bill, with amendments and improve• ments, could be re-introduced neat session. The amendment was then agreed to. LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES ACT AMENDMENT BILL.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. MALINS moved the second reading of this bill. Lord R. GROSVENOR objected to the further pro gress of this bill, the object of which was to repeal the cls.uses of an act passed last cession, to prevent the inclosure of Hampstead-heath and restrain Sir T. M. Wilson from building thereon. The noble lord referred to the proceedings that had taken place in and out of Parliament on this subject, and condemned the course proposed by the hon. and learned member f r Enniskillen, the mover of the bill, in proposing the repeal of an Act of Parliament almost before it had been tried and the effect of its provisions ascertained. lie contended that the act did no b jary to Sir T. M. Wilson, and as re . _ _ garded his wish to build on waste land near Hampstead Heath, as stated in the debate of last night, no objection would be offered to it. He moved the second reading of the bill this day three months. Mr. SPOONER supported the second reading of the bill. He said that the idea of Sir T. M. Wilson's in tending to inclose Hampstead Heath bad arisen from a misapprehension. The clauses in the act referred to would inlict great injustice not only on Sir T. M. but other persons, because the laud on which he proposed to build was copyhold property, and was not near Hampstead Heath. The heath could only be in closed by a special act of Parliament, so that theinhabit ants of the Metropolis were amply protected. Mr. BUTT, as a member of the select committee who acceeded to the introduction of the clauses in the act of last session, opposed the bill, which was an attempt to unceremoniously unsettle what had been the subject of mature consideration. The claim was introduced in consequence of Parliament having on a former occasion refused Sir T. M. Wilson's application fo r a private bill to inclose the heath. He looked upon this measure as a public bill for the private relief of Sir T. M. Wilson, and considered that if that gentleman wanted relief he should apply to the house in a proper manner, when it would be carefully and impartially considered. Mr. HENLEY considered that Sir T. M. Wilson's name ought not to have been introduced into this de bate, but that the bill should have been discussed on its merits. He opposed the bill on its merits. An ap plication having been made by Sir T. M. Wilson and refused by Parliament, it ought not to have been re peated in this form. Mr. NAPIER supported the second reading of the bill. Sir D. NORREYS said that if it bad not been for Hampstead Heath this discussion would not have taken pace. The power of parliament had been brought to bear on an individual—(no, no) ---to deprive him of the rights he would have been permitted to enjoy had it not been for his misfortune in possessing a property that the people of London coveted and wished to obtain on its own terms. (Hear, hear, and No, no). It was non sense to talk about enclosing Hampstead Heath. If parliament proposed it or attempted to sanction it the noble lord (Lord R. Grosvenor) would be found w i t h his Hyde Park mobs and cowing f ra t e rnising to that house in connexion with the right hon. baronet the member for Marylebone with his representative councils TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—ln your report of last night's debate it is stated that `• No, do " was the answer to Mr. Roebuck when he said I had published the despatch moved for by General Wyndham and Mr. Disraeli. My letter to you is accurate. Look at the garbled, cooked extracts from that memoir given as a return to Mr. Disraeli's motion, the memoir in extenso being refused on public grounds. The " No, no ! " must therefore have been applied to some other document— eomething new ; and. the ridiculous conduct of Lord Panmure and his colleagues remain intact. W. NAPIER, Lieutenant-General.

At a meeting of the Australian Agricultural Company yesterday, Mr. E.

Aeccordlng to these the coal trade was remarkably active at very remunerative prices. A further remittance of 5,0001. has been received.

THE PRETENDED PLOT TO ASSASSINATE LOUIS NA routoN.—We quote, with much gratification, an able article on this subject from the last number of the Satur day Retina. We believe there is not an intelligent per son in this country, from the Queen, whose guest the alleged intended victim is to be to-morrow, down to the humblest of her subjects, who does not firmly believe thae the whole affair has been got up in the hope of making Ledru Rollin the real victim, in revenge for the • fatal blow he has given to French Imperialism, by the triumph which the distinguished refugee achieved in the Paris elections. But Louis Napoleon and his unscru- I pulous myrmidons have been caught in the trap which , they had laid for Ledru Rollin. They have been taken in their own craftiness. The infamy with which they I hoped to load the name of the leader of the French Re publicans has attached to their own names. Ledra Rollin stands higher in this country, and will every , where become more popular, than ever ; while they . will be compelled to crawl out of the affair covered . with the world's contempt and booted by its excavations. —Morning Advertiser. „._, .
