CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed dull and quiet, and prices were unaltered. The Sales were eAtirnated at 5,000 hales, 2,000 of Which were taken on speculation 'lnd expnrt. The Railway Share Market closed without animation, at previou rates. The Bank of England return, completed for the Week ending the 234 inst., contains some satisfac tory features, but there is, nevertheless, a decline in the bullion and also in the amounts of private deposits. The reserve of notes has increased, and new exceeds four and a half millions sterling, while the stock of other securities has declined to the ex tent of more than three-quarters of a million. The general appearance of the return may therefore be deemed favourable, and had it not been for the material advance in the Shanghae exchange, and the prospects of increased remittances to China, there would have been some probability of an e arly decline in the minimum rate of discount. The principal items, and the changes they present, are as subjoined : Active Circulation Decrease Bullion 9,804,827 Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Decrease Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 694.333 ~.

It forms a blue-book of 60 7 6 of t : Pages. The learned doctor gives•a lucid account disease among cattle as manifested in England 7," on the C ont i nent . Th e resu lt o f hi s i nqu i ry i s th a t t he cattle disease which he was desired to investigate is rt of recent origin, bet has prevailed in the unitecrking `l among horned cattl e f or th e l as t 15 or 16 years ; t hat it is not peculiar to London ; that it is probably i nfectious, but is also developed spontaneously in conse quence of some unknown peculiarities of breed, manage- Illent, season, or locality, and is not supposed to have been imported from abroad ; that it is identical with the itingenseuche, or pulmonary murrain, now prevalent in kecklenburg, Holetein, and elsewhere ; and that it has no affinity with the rinderpest or steppe-murrain, with Vhieh it has been confounded by some English writers. The doctor suggests that the importation of the steppe 'Annelle (which would be most probably by way of I "russi a ) s h ou ld b e p reven ted by the prohibition of the i mportation of cattle except from countries which have e lefto bills of health. It appears that meat derived from a nimals suffering from the pulmonary murrain, and pro ably other diseases, is commonly and extensively sold t London and elsewhere for human food, but that th ere is no satisfactory proof that the consequences „ Consuming it are directly injurious. There are rea sons to suppose that the use of meat from animals atifre ring under diseases unknown among the cattle of the united kingdom has, abroad, been frequently The w ith severe con sequences on human health. consumption of meat undergoing decomposition bas, te"‘ been frequently injurious, and such meat cannot be l eu with saf e ty w h en cooked.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. WINNERS OF THE DERBY. (Sittings at Guildhall, lief, re Mr. Baron Channell and a Common Jury.) LANVES V. RAND. This was an action for the recovery of 1571. 10s., on a bill of exchange, drawn by a person named Bedford, at one time a partner with the defendant and Mr. Laurie, the present M.P. for Barnstaple, coach builders, &c., Oxford-street, and discounted by the plaintiff, a bill dis counter, of Birchin•lane. It appeared from the evidence that the firm was in the habit of applying to the plain tiff and obtaining discounts from them, and on the 16th January, 1857, Bedford called on the plaintiff and asked him to discount a bill fur 1571. 10s,. on the firm, in the name of Bedford and Rand, because Mr. Laurie, who was desirous of getting into Parliament, did not , orish for his name t 3 appear in the firm. Bedford indorsed the bill as Bedford and Rand, and in consequence of the plaintiff not liking the indorsement without the name of Laurie, Bedford wrote under the indorsement another, viz:, Laurie, Bedford, and Brand. The bill was then discounted. When it became due it was dishonoured, and the plaintiff wrote to Mr. Laurie, who called on him in Birchin-lane, and saw the bill and declared the in dorsement to be a forgery, and stated that the partner. ship was dissolved in December, 1855, and gazetted. Mr. Laurie was called on his subpoena, but did not at tend ; and, after some further evidence, Mr. James, for the defendant, said that in point of law there was really no defence to this action, but he thought it right to say that the proceeds of the bill never reached the defendant, nor did it appear in the books. The bill was discounted iu January, and shortly after Mr. Bedford left the firm, leaving the defendant, who was still carrying on the business in Oxford-street, to discharge a number of such liabilities. Mr. Bedford, who was in court, protested against the remarks of the learned counsel, and stated his readiness to enter the witness box and answer any questions that might be put to him. He alluded to his attendance on his subpcena and Mr. Lamle's absence. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. added ; for 2-yr-olds and upwards.

The first sitting of the vestry of St. Pancras since the recently conteAtel ward elections took place on Thursday, at the Vestry-hall, Camden-town, when several hundred ratepayers assembled, and a most extraordinary scene of uproar prevailed. The Rev. T. Dale, the vicar, arrived just as a contest was taking place for the chairmanship, the Rev. R. Echett and Mr. T. E. Baker having been nominated for the office, the latter carrying the majority. The minutes of the previous meeting were read amidst great uproar, owing to the crowded state of the gallery. Mr. FURNISS moved, and Mr. C. HIBBLE se 3onded, a motion, amidst loud applause, that ratepayers who could not find accommodation in the gallery should be admitted. into the body of the hall, be low the bar. - 10] - 71 - 19.3 - - 14 q - 135 14 133 - 140 - 117 ••• ... - 356 - 6'f'3' - 132 - L 97 - 88 - lii : 103 - 92 22i 112 id - 2'i - 113 - 116 - 110 - 19 - 23) - 100 - 100 - 28 - 8 P ••• ••• -2/ MINES. 18 - 19 - 8 150 - 160 165 - 475 16 - 18 64 7 44 - 54 16 - 18 . 194 - 204 5 - 6 22 - 23 - 6 1$ - 11 330 - 340 56 300 -- 310 1 - li 4 - 44 190 - 210 - 1 30 - 31 140 - 150 1 260 - 270 360 - 370 17 19 46 - 48 23 - 24 MINES. e 1f —1/ 15 - 17 - 55 - 57 10 - 12 - 15 - 17 7i p ' s - s .•• ••• 2 - 24 1 :C. ,ANEOUS. 18i 7- 14 ••• ""." . •• 4 - 5• 148 - 152 112 - 112 30 - 35 25 - 27 2 - 2* 5# 5i ••• J ••• ••• t•• ••• - ••• 92 91 ••• i ••••• i --• ••• l l \J 91A a 22i I •.• ••• 3 . 3i •2 / 2i id ••• - 11 44 - 4 - 9 10 id ip i 2A 20 —22 5 7 60 62 li la ii - 36 - 1 i - 1 •., - ••• 11 --- 12 19 4 1121 12 Mr. G. A. YOUNG opposed the motion, on the ground that a placard had been issued in No. 5 .ward, 'calling on the ratepayers to accompany Messrs. Ross and Soden, who had bee,n elected representatives of that ward by 734 votes, against 234 votes polled by Messrs. Bisgood Vardy, the latter being returned by the inspectors, on the ground of Messrs. Soden and Ross's alleged insuffi ciency of rating. Mr. Young considered this placard as subversive of order, and that was the basis of his opposition to the motion. Mr. Wedgwood, Mr. Clarke, and others opposed the motion, while Messrs. Brettitigham, Dyke, Douglas, Aria, and others supported it ; and ulti mately the motion was carried, amidst tremendous, applause, by a majority of 49 to 29, and the rate payers rushed into the body of the ball. The va rious returns of new members wore then read ; and on the names of Messrs. Bisgood and Vardy being read for No. 5 ward, the ratepayers called on Messrs. Ross and Suden to take their seats instead of those two gentlemen. Mr. CAMERON moved that the returns be received and entered on the minutes, on which it was an nounced that Mr. Tapping, the barrister, was in attendance on the part of Me. Ross, to claim to have that gentleman's name properly inserted in the rate-book, for the property for which he 'paid , rates; After some confusion,: Mr.. TAPPING was admitted within the bar, and produced Mr. Ross's receipts for rent, as well as for rates, showing that he was not only, jointly with his partner, Mr. Dixon, paying for the house, 4, St. James's-place, 67/. per annum, but also for o. 7, 451. per annum, making together 1121, but also ought to be on the rates for 7, Gower-place. Mr. Tapping, .under the 80th section of the Local Act, asked to have his name at once inserted in the rate hook; he having been, by an omissionl on the part of the authorities themselves, deprived of his rights. Mr. Churchwarden WYATT explained his con duct at the late election for No. 5 ward, in refusing to put Mr. Ross's name to the meeting, and read the opinion of counsel. (Mr. I(eene), and in which he felt himself justified in acting as he hal done. Mr, ,Wyatt was much interrupted throughout the Whole of his observations. —Mr. Ross, by permis-don, subsequently addressed the vestry, and complained of the grievous wrong which had been done to him by the vestry clerk, who allowed him to sit as auditor for years without diiptiting his qualification, but when he found he was going to be vestryman finding it out., He came there to demand justice and no hiiag more, and he would be satisfied with nothing less. (Cheers.) The Rev. R. ECHETT considered Mr. Ross had fully proved his case, and moved that his name be forthwith placed on the rate-book, jointly with Mr. Dixon, for the house No. 7, St. James's-place, and for his house in Mr. Ross's own name' for Little Gower-place. Mr. CAMERON seconded the motion amidst ap plause, he considered the case a clear one. Mr. ARIA moved an amendment to refer the subject to a committee, which was seconded, and, after a long and one .of the most terrible scenes of uproar, which it took all the ability and tact of the Rev. Chairman to quell, the motion was carried, and the amendment negatived by a majority of 48 to 30, amidst vociferous cheering. The rate-books were at once ordered to be brought up and the en tries made, duly qualifying Mr. Ross on the rate book in the presence of the vestry and ratepayers. The case of Mr. Soden was then entered into, and Mr. Churchwarden WYATT charged certain parties with endeavouring to tamper with the in spectors 'of votes, for which they wore indictable. If they did not stir dirty 'water, however, he was content to let the matter drop. (Uproar.) He was willing.to justify his conduct in a court of law. Mr. SODEN attended, and proved by the rate book that he was on for 351. for a house in Cleve land-street, and rated for 291. for his house in Ernest-street, 401. bein.g, the qualification for ves- trymen. Mr. DYKE called upon Mr. Soden, as he was duly qualified, to take his seat, and Mr. HIBBLE said if Messrs. Bisgood. and Vardy were in the room he hoped they would have the decency to walk out. The proceedings continued for some time amidst great uproar, which was only put an end to by the announcement of the ballot for auditors, which was, for Mr. Goodchad 93 votes, Air. Thomas Dixon 92, Mr. William Steyon 90, Mr. Bush 68, and Mr. Jessie Street 58. After the appointment of the general purposes committee, proposed by Mr. Aiam - , by a majority of 42 to 36 votes, the vestry, after a most stormy meeting, aeparatcd, 1852 1853 1854 1555 1856 1857, THE VINTAGE IN FRANCE.—The Afoniteer nticoie says :—The heat which prevailed some diyiago has of late been considerably modified by the Storm's and by the rain, a good quantity of which has fallen and proved most salutary. Our accounts of the appearance of the vineyards would have been perfectly satisfactory were it not that we have to mention that the oidium has shown irself in some parts of the Meurthe, the lieirault, and the Bordelais. Fortunately, on all the points where this scourge has appeared, the application of sulphur is prac tised with such energy ae to remove every cause for un• easme6s. Wines are calm, without any fresh advance in quotations, but without reduction. Nevertheless, the proprietors and holders now accept prices which they refused a few days ago. Brandies have nos much varied, but prices have slightly given way in the markets of Sur gores and La Rochelle. As to alcohols, those of Langue doe, which are always in favour at the entrepot and at Bercy, when their purity and growth can be guaranteed, fetch 230 f., 235 f., and 238 f., as last week ; those of the north remain neglected at the previous prices of 120 f. and 118 f. English spirits are in demand at 146 f. and 147 f., let mark ; arrack at 126 f., 128 f., and 130 f.; German spirits, which arrive in bus limited quantity, 105 f. to 1061 There is great activity among the breweries. The ac counts from the hop-growing countries are contradictory. In the low grounds the heat has caused much improve. ment in the appearance of the young plant, but in the high grounds the drought has caused the appearance of the fly. The first heavy shower of rain will, however, get rid of this annoyance.". EPSOM RACES, FAIDAY. THE OAKS DAY. The certainty of Blink Bonny's success diminished the attractions of the Oaks day. Still the hill presented a goodly show of carriages, and the Grand Stand en closure was well filled. The proceedings, however, were regarded with a kind of listless indifference, and even the race for the Oaks, in which Blink Bonny was seen coming in by herself, scarcely stirred the spectators into activity; Not since the year 1801 have the Oaks and Derby been carried off by the same animal, and the present anniver sary of the race is likely to be long remembered for the many incidents of a peculiar nature which marked the event. The "settling," that be-all and end•all of a race meet ing, takes place on Tuesday next, and we shall then be enabled to state accurately the effect of Blink Bonny's 'double viciory in betting circles.

Vigil was first off, but after going a short distance she was passed by Hegira, and went on second with Sneeze third, Tricolour fourth, Orianda fifth, Impe rieuse sixth, the iss Whip filly and Cantrip being several lengths in the rear. On rounding Tattenham corner Vigil obtained a clear lead, Imperieuse lying second, and Aspasia third. At the road Aspasia was beaten, and Blink*Bonny, who had up to that point bided her time in the centre of the ruck, ran to the front, came away by herself, and won in a canter by eight lengths, four lengths separating the second from third, about the same distance between the third and fourth.

ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 21st instant mentions that military manoeuvres had been performed the previous day at the camp called Della Farnesina. These manoeuvres were intended to exercise the Papal artillery under the direction and with the assistance of General Goyon, Commander-in- Chief of the French troops. Many foreign journals have praised the efficiency of the Papal troops, but on the late occasion the manoeuvres could not have been performed had not the French artillery kindly lent two six-pounders with their accessories, and still the Papal troops on the ground is pompously styled the First Regiment of Pontifical .Artill?ry. After the manoeuvres the Ft ench took possess on of their guns and brought them t') the Castle of St. Angelo, where they keep garrison. It was remarked that General Philip Farina, the Papal Minister of War, was not present at that military ceremony. There was a brilliant sight at the Amphitheatre FLivio on the 16th. The amphitheatre was lighted with Bengal fires, and the effect was magnificent. It was believed that this sight was got up by the Government in compliment to the Empress Dowager of Russia, but such was no the fact. The expense was de frayed by Count Kisseleff, the Russian Ambassa dor at the Court of Rome. _ The Empress Dowager of Russia arrived at Laua le-Bourg ou the afternoon of the 25th, and left the following morning for Chambery. BANQUET TO THE JUDGES AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained yesterday evening, in the kyptian Hall, her Majesty's judges, and a large company, including the most eminent members of the bar. After the banquet, the Lady Mayoress had a quadrille patty, and dancing was kept up with much spirit until after one o'clock, when the party brt,lce up. The usual loyal and constitutional toasts having been disposed of, The LORD MAYOR proceeded to give the toast of the evening, " The health of the JUdges of Vie Land." A good understanding had, he said, al ways existed between the legal authorities of the laud and the great city which he (the Lord Mayor) represented ; and he trusted that good understand ing would long continue. He b?gged to propose the health of " Her Majesty's Judges." The LORD CHIEF BARON, in returning thanks for the toast stated that the duties of the bench were exercised under a control by which everythin must be bound—he meant public opinion. The jud g es of the land would not dare to swerve a tittle from a strict interpretation of the law. The gallant offi cers who on that occasion had to represent the sister services would as soon dare to exhibit cowardice in the face of the enemy as the judges to be guilty of the slightest act of partiality or injustice. The LORD MAYOR next gave " The American Minister." Mr. DALLAS said, in returning thanks, that they were met on that occasion not only to do justice to the princely hospitality of the Mansion-house, but to pay a compliment to her Majesty's judges, whose merits, intelligence, and integrity all must acknow ledge. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next gave "Lord Wensley dale and the Honse of Lords." Lord WENSLEYDALE returned thanks. " The Bar of England." The Queen's Advoca' returned thanks. And the remaining toasts on Mr. Harker's list having been disposed of, the com pany adjourned to the drawing-room, and finished the evening with dancing to the music of an excel lent band.

A detailed report of the results of the poll will be found in our advertising columns. A NOVEL EIPERIMENT.—The first iron screw welled smack ever built, we understand will be launched from Deptford to day. The supposed advantages these screw fishing smacks will have over the present class of vessels are—whilst going to and returning from the fishing ground, neither light winds, calms, nor head winds will much retard their progress. They will be able to work three trawl nets at the same time, one from each side, boomed out a few feet, and one over the stern. Much of the laborious work now performed by fishermen with winches and capetains, as for instance the difficult task of heaving up trawl nets from 60 and 70 fathoms deep with tons weight in them, will be effected by the power of steam ; so also, when the smack gets amongst shoals, where the finny tribe take the book with bait, as soon as the line reaches their locality, machinery will be em ployed to wind the fish up to the surface, sparing the men the labour of hauling them up by band, which is often a painful task, when continued three or four days with little intermission.

A similar opinion was given by Charles Royer, another carpenter.
