Established May, 1844. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament. THIS Company was Established in 1844, for the purpose of opening to the public an easy and riuquestion ablY Safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte rest. The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi haY Banks in the mode of employing c a pit a l— mone y d e p os it e d t this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life Interests, Reversions in the Government Fuads, or other property of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately co nvertible. it Is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, Combined with perfeet safety. Further, Loans made by Lll ° ~.0 ..„, o gipitu7 are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on (*s Borwaver, or his nominee, effected at A rata ORM % Wbfen'seeures, the ve.dity of the Policy against every pos sible contingency. Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of 1 08 4 whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising _trout the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management. N DEposrr Accoturrs may be opened with sums of any amount, and increased from time to time, at the convenience of depositors. A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de- Posited. RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST. The rate of Interest sinee the establishment of the Company has never been less than five per cent. per aunum ; and it is confidently anticipated that the same careful and judicious selection from secu rities of the description above mentioned will enable the Board of Management to continue this rate to depositors, The Interest is payable in January and July, on the amount stand• lag In the name of the depositor on the 30th of June and 31st of mecember, and for the convenience of parties residing at a distance _lztaY be received a t th e B ranc h Offic e s, or r e mitt e d th roug h C oun t ry Bankers.

The United States Mail steam-ship Adriatic, Captain West, arrived this afternoon from New York, with advices to the 28th ult., 35 passengers, and $390,000 in specie. The Atlantic steam-ship, of the same line, arrived at New York on the 22d ult. The Atlantic conveyed to New York the news of Messrs. Dannistoun's suspension, but the effect of this intelligence had not time to be felt prior to the Adriatic's departure. The New York Herald, of the 23d ult., says : " The market is not likely to be pressed with stock for sale without finding buyers, so long as the bull party continues able and willing to buy. But they must Con. tinue purchasers to continue the inflation and to keep the supply of stock from increasing. This we look for, and have no doubt of the success of the movement, so long as the absorption of stock goes on. It will, we fear be found much more difficult to sell than to buy, and the effectof a withdrawal of the present demand can be easily imagined. The expansion in prices has already been to an unprecedented extent for the same space of time, and it would be something extraordinary if some important reaction was not very soon realised." The telegraph reports a collision of the steam boats Opelousas and Galveston. Some 25 of the passengers of the Opelousas were drowned, among them General Hamilton, of South Carolina. The Herald adds, referring to the state of the New York money market "In support of the position of speculators for a rise, even upon present high prices, is the fact that an easier money market has not been known in Wall-street for years. The banks are free lenders on call at the rate of 5 and 6 per cent. per annum, and the brokers can hypo thecate their stockalwith favourable margins to any amount." In cotton, prices are depressed and unsettled. The stock continues to be very light. The unemployed workmen in New Yoilc have had frequent meetings, and the usual declamatory and inflammatory harangues have been made, but everythinc , passed off in quietness. From Havana we have advices to the 15th ult. Trade was very dull. Sugars had declined. Mexican advices to the 4th inst. report a success ful rebellion in the south and west, her frontiers ravaged by savages, her treasury bankrupt, and her highways thronging with banditti. This un happy republic seems to be in the final threes of dissolution.' General Walker's rendezvous at Powder Horn has been broken up, and his recruits disbanded.

Bright, of forging bills of exchange and transfers of railway stock, have, from his former position as a mer chant of extensive dealing , , excited much attention. The indictments will be preferred before the grand jury who are now assembled at the winter assize at York. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., has been specially retained to defend him, NATAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Duke of Cambridge, attended by Sir Richard Airey, K.C. 8., and Colonel Clifton, visited Sand hurst College yesterday to attend the examination of the cadets. Lieutenant-General Sir Charles W. Pasley, K.C.8., RE., arrived yesterday at Chatham garrison, for the purpose of witnessing the testing two new descriptions of gabions, one the invention of Captain H. W. Tyler, R.E., and the other that of Sergeant-Major J. Jones, R.E., each of the new gabions were put to the severest tests. A report of the experiments is to be sent to the Inspector- General of Fortifications. A report of the proceedings of the general court martial on Lieutenant G. W. V. Yule, of the Royal Engineers, on several charges of negligence of duty and unbecoming conduct, was received at Brompton-barracks yesterday, the finding of the Court has been approved of by the Duke of Cam bridge and her Majesty. The Court found the prisoner " Guilty." Lieutenant Yule is ordered to be dismissed from the service. During Thursday night and the whole of yester day untiring efforts were made to raise her Ma jesty's steamer Cuckoo, but she still remains in nearly the same position. The sentence of a court-martial, held last week at Woolwich for the trial of Levy Bullock, sergeant of the 28th company of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, on three charges of fraud and embezzle ment, was promulgated on Thursday. The Court having pronounced the prisoner guilty on the whole of the, charges, sentenced him to be reduced to the rank of private sentinel, and, further, to be kept in penal servitude for four years. The sentence has been approved by her Majesty, but the term of penal servitude, to which he has been sentenced, is commuted to 12 months' im prisonment. Accorditialy _the prisoner was on Thursday stripped of his stripes by the drum-major, on public parade, in presence of the entire battalion, to which he belongs,.and was forthwith conveyed to Fort Ciarencelto undergo his term of imprisonment. Captain A. W. Johnson, Lieutenant Elton, and 80 non-commissioned officers and gunners, detach ments from the 3d and 14th battalions Royal Artillery, left head-quarters, Woolwich, yesterday, for Southampton, to embark on board the Penin sular and Oriental Company's steamer for Alex andria, to proceed by the overland route to Bom bay and Madras. Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley is appointed Superintendent of Devonport dockyard, vice Vice- Admiral Sir J. H. Plumridge, promoted. Captain C. H. M. Buckle is appointed Superin tendent of Deptford dockyard, vice Rear-Admiral Austen, promoted. Captain C. B. Collison is to have the good ser vice pension in the gift of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the promotion of Rear-Admiral Austen. COMMERCIAL FAILURES. The suspension has been announced of Messrs. F. and A. Bovet, an old established firm in the trade with China, with moderate liabilities. Their difficulties are understood to have been principally caused by the late heavy fall in the silk-market. The stoppage has a!so taken place of Messrs. C. A. Jonas and Co., general merchants, who have been brought down by the recent failures in the North of Europe. Their liabilities are supposed to amount to about 100,000/. A meeting of creditors of Messrs. J. Foot and Sons, silk manufacturers, whose suspension was an nounced on the 10th ult., was hold yesterday, when by a statement of affairs submitted by Mr. Jay, the accountant, the liabilities were stated to be 2'7,6401., while the assets were estimated at 24,472/. after deducting for certain claims to be paid in full. A proposition that a composition be accepted of 15s. in the pound, payable in instal ments extending over 18 months, was agreed to, and two creditors were appointed to act as in spectors. THE SLAVE TRADE. Dr. Livingstone has addressed the following letter to he Editor of the Times : Sir,--Having in former years imbibed the idea, from speeches made in Parliament, and from articles in news papers similar to that in your leader of the 24th, that our squadron on the West Coast of Africa, so far from dimi nishing, rather increased the evils of the slave-trade, I went to Angola in 1854 fully expecting to find, as you remark, " that this nefarious traffic still subsists as much as ever." When, however, I came in co'itact with the Portuguese who had actually been engaged in the trade, and heard them refer to it invariably in the past tense, my confidence was somewhat shaken in the soundness of Parliamentary information. " Such a man was rich," said they, "in the time of the slave-trade." And when I saw boys of 10 or 12 years of age B°l4 for about 12s. each within 150 miles of the coast, and heard the pathetic lamentation, "Ah ! we could have got 60 or 70 dollars for these lads in the time of the slave-trade," together with the frank confession by those who, of all others, ought to know best that the prime agents in the repression of the traffic were the English cruisers, I was forced t o a d i fferent conclus i on from that to which the really ve ry plausible statements of various - Then, agair,fsaw crowds of carriers (carregadores) on the road from the interior to the coast. These carriers are compelled by the Government of Loanda to convey mer chandise at the rate of 2d. a-day. On examining this system of compulsory labour I found it to be a direct evidence of the efficiency of our cruisers in repressing the slave trade. increasedhr a e d Russian ss T a h tno u w a t , ha prev er, aatl rie i t o nh u ge s t mh t ei o tr ch l h B a r db , ie w sfeo h or e fe n At the n h eg e ob Ir s ae q aw u k a ai d sn rgberno oatu w g ho a ft s afe t w he al c a o v a e s s t byb slaves.

The t n m o s the coast, so comm on previous to 1845, is now never see n; and if we glance at th e Custom-house returns we find th a t the receipts for he a d money gradually diminished from that year till 1850, w h en none was received. This seed othe flee of a largo re venue by the Portuguese Government shows that we ar e not the only people who have made efforts to put down th e odious tra ffi c; and if half the h officials civilly aser' s b e e n t t oto et h A e n Angola Go vernor the trade would have entirely ceased. A few incorrigibl e one 3 t y o f o of purpose a b aha had characterisedvehichyu slave-dealers, winked at by governors of Loanda wh o i n words would outmatch G eneral Concha in strenuous endea vours to annihilate th e t raffic, have continued to export a few loads annually fro m certain ports north of Loanda. But this has been a di ff i cult game t o pl a y, inasmuch as t h e i r own countrymen willi ngly give information to the crai :keen t h e:a res o rtedc augm e ntation of a large crui sers for a small consideration and being obliged to con ceal their shipments from both parties they stand, as it were, between two fires. So far from brisk is the export trade that I once travelled in company with three native slavedealers who had eight women in a chain away from the coast towards the middle of the country to tell them for ivory. One of their owners said "that the English cruisers alone prevented their being sent across the sea." And as for the alleged increase of cruelty in the middle pa s s age, any one who reads how slaves were treated when the slave trade was legal will see that it was often even then as bad as it could be. It is of such a heathenish, or rather fiendish, nature that men engaged in it are some how led to treat their fellow -men immeasurably worse than they would animals of equal or inferior value. Notwithstanding the very decided influence of the crui- sera on the parts I visited, there see ms t o h ave b cen an in- I crease in the traffic since the strength of the cruisers was reduced by the Russian war, and this increase has taken lace in the rivers north of Angola. Th e pros tit u ti on o f place American fl ag is a serious drawback to our efforts at suppression. Yet it must be borne in mind that we hear more a bout it nowadays; and the i ncrease of our know ledge of an abuse does not imply an actual augmentation t . ' • of the evil. Whi le our att en ion is directed to greater num bers of s l a ves being imported into C u b a we must not shut our e yes to the fact of another market bei ng c l osed altoge ther to the trade, nor forget that the present posture of Brazil is owing to the moral influence of Great Britain. Cuba would, wore the trade open, takeandso, ooo kill off s l a ves annually. About two-thirds block presentade. Th twithanother a , her shores by the large market closed to the traffic , is surely not an ignoble failure. I have thus ventured to state my conviction in favour formed, as it of our present sys t e m , was, from personal of Con and in the tee th a strong bias to the observe r , accordine• to con trary, that you may, . you custom, and if you 't advisable, give th is to your readers by way should deem i of helping them to both sides of the question. It is not to be supposed for a moment that the present system of coercion will result in a ra dica l vation by the Africans on th e i r own soil of the raw mate rials of our manufactures and the influence of Christian civilisation alone will effect a permanent suppression of the slave-trade. But all hope of this must be given up if the coast tribes are to be hounded on by Europeans to hunt down the defenceless inland inhabitants on the absurd promoting " free emigration. " It is no more pretence of delight in true that Africans take hun tin g, buying and selling each other than that the English glory in hanging themselves in November. I know th a t i s the case through out the interior, and I was sorry at the cause of a different state of th in g s on the borders of civili sa ti on. But we aro ignorant of the sources w hen ce sta tements such as that referred to arise. From meet ing it in various quarters, and more especially in the mouths of slaveholders, or would-be slave employers, I am inclined t o t hi nk that both it and that about the ine ffi ciency of her Majesty's cruisers have bad their origin in those who are, directly or indi rectly, abettors of slavery, and that they are promulgated by many who, like nayseif, had not the means of test i ng their truth, SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY.—In consequence of the severe pressure on the money market, and the difficulty of obtaining money, it has been proposed to give up a considerable portion of the above line, and only to carry out the construction of the railway from its intended junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton at liartlebury to Booley in Shropshire. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. Monetary affairs had continued to improve.

LAUNCHING THE LEVIATHAN. Soon after daylight yesterday morning, Mr. Brunel, with Captain Harrison, and his indefatig able chief assistant, Mr. Prowse, were again busy at Millwall, superintending the efforts by which the Leviathan is worked down slowly to the water, inch by inch and foot by foot. The ship has now completely quitted every part of the old foundation on which she was built, and the entire of her vast bulk and stupendous weight rest on the new launch ing ways alone. The mast sinister rumours have at times been in circulation as to the disastrous results which might be anticipated when this event should happen, but as far as can be judged from the effect upon the ways at present the firmness with which they bear the vessel up exceeds the most sanguine expectations, and quite justifies the remarks which have been made by engineers that, next to the ship itself, the launching ways are the best piece of work in the yard. Their construction was contracted for by the Messrs. Treadwell, and, considering the nature of theground they had to work upon, and the severity of the test which they have since withstood, their strength and rigidity may be considered as really astonishing. The Leviathan was first pushed upon them on Thursday afternoon, and so remained throughout the night, yet so little had the timber yielded under the tremendous pressure, that in the very first attempt to move the ship yesterday she in stantly slipped seven feet. She made this great step with the same easy gliding motion as hereto fore, with an almost total absence of friction on the meta's, and with only the usual hollow, so lemn, reverberating noise like very distant thunder. These slips, however, are scarcely productive of any great gain in the day's work, for, the stern being much heavier than the bows, the cradle under that portion descends much more rapidly, and so turns both cradles on the ways that an immense pressure is required again to start her. Thus, yesterday morning, after one of these slips, she displayed the most unyielding ob stinacy. The tackle from the river, the screw jacks and hydraulic machines, were taxed to their utmost, the latter especially, to such an extent that first a 14-inch cylinder, and next a 7-inch one, gave way, and ripped the solid iron top to bottom under the intense pressure which was exerted in them. These mishaps, however, only occasioned a temporary de lay, and renewal of the efforts, after a time, at last got another start of the ship, and so she continued throughout the day, dropping from 6 to 10 inches each time, till dusk, when the men left off, and the signal boards showed a progress of nearly 31 feet for the day's work. The afternoon's tide yesterday placed about four feet of water under her keel, and so lightened the ways of about 1,500 tons of her dead weight ; but apparently this made not the least difference in her rate of progress. There seems now not the least reason to doubt but that by Tuesday or Wednes day next the launch will be entirely completed. It is reported that the fall of the scaffolding out side the yard on Thursday injured very many more people than were then conveyed to the hospital, and that the number of persons in the neighbourhood who are suffering from contusions, internal injuries, and slight concussions of the brain, received on that occasion, is considerable. It seems surprising that the police should not have interfered to prevent a scaffolding not fit to bear 20 with safety from being crowded with at least a hundred people. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP ACT AMENDMENT.—The fol lowing is a copy of the Bill entitled "An Act to amend the Act for securing the liberty of religious worship," introduced by Lord Shaftesbury last evening : —" Where a i it is expedient to extend the Act passed in the session of Parliament held in the 18th and 19th years of the reign of her present Majesty, entitled 'An Act for securing the liberty of religilus worship ;' Be it enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spirituel and Tem poral, and Commons in this present Parliament assem bled, and by the authority of the same as follows :-1. From and after the passing of this Act, notwithstanding any powers of inhibition claimed by .the incumbent of any parish or ecclesiastical district the population of which shall exceed 2,000 by the last preceding census, no inhibition of such incumbent shall avail so as to pre vent any ordained minister of the United Church of England and Ireland from conducting or taking part in any congregation or assembly occasionally meeting for religions warship in any building or buildings not usually appropriated to purposes of religious worship, unless such inhibition shall be contained in some writing under the hand of such incumbent, countersigned and sealed by the bishop of the diocese within which such occasional services shall be held. THE COUNTESS OF ELLESMERE'S JEWELS—CONFESSION OF ONE OF THE THIEVES.—A very explicit confession has just been made by a young man named Atwell, a pri soner in Chelmsford Gaol, as to the robbery of property belonging to the Countess of Ellesmere on the 22d of January, 1856. It will be remembered that the pro perty, which was of great value, was contained in a box, which was stolen from the roof of a cab on its way to Waterloo-bridge station. Atwell states that he with two other men, known as " Witty" and " Saint," were out on the day just mentioned with the intention of com mitting robbery. They followed the cab, and Witty jumped up behind the cab, and pulled the box down. The horse reared up, but the driver did not observe them. They took it to the shop of Jackson, an oilman, in Leonard street, Shoreditch, and opened it in the back parlour in the presence of Jackson and his wife. Atwell says :"I noticed the name of the Countess of Ellesmere painted in white letters on the top of the box, and I said, This lady is almost next to the Queen.' By that, said Jacks )e, I hope you have got something good." Witty began taking out the things. Mrs. Jackson said, They are Very nice tbinge—they consisted of ladies' dresses. Then Witty discovered a little box, containing a bracelect. I said, 'Joe, this is gold.' He took another out of the box ; went on further and brought a box shaped like a half-moon—that contained a coronet for a lady's head. There was a thing in the shape of a butterfly, covered with sparks (diamonds). This was sold to Mrs. Jackson for half-a-orown, and a large quantity of dresses and shawls for 50?. Jackson purchased a handkerchief full of jewellery for 401. A lot of loose diamonds and ' blue drops' were sold next morning for se. and the other contents disposed of in a similar fashion." Jaeksoa and his wife were yester day committed for trial, on the charge of feloniously receiving tho stolen property. [PRICK 4D. STAMPED 5D .] DESPATCH FROM INDIA.

Upon the recommenda tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta. Arabica, which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate change for the better in the symptoms. After the first few meals she felt less miserable, and in six days the diarrhoea and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gradu ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This excel lent remedy deserves to be more generally known, and I consider I am only discharging a most sacr e d duty iu recommending it to all sufferers.-5. ZEGUERS.
