PASTIMES. This was an action for the recovery of a sum of 1567., brought by the plaintiff, a huntsman, against General Shirley, late of the Turkish Cmtingent. The declara tion stated that the plaintiff entered the defendants ser vice as kennel huntsman, and to do all that was required of him in reference to the hounds at 51. a month, with food, clothing, lodging, and to give him a free passage out and home from Turkey. The plaintiff pleaded— first, that he did not promise as alleged ; secondly, that he did pay and supply the plaintiff according to the agreement ; thirdly, that the defendant did provide him with a passage home, but the plaintiff refused to accept it, and had discharged the defendant from such part of the promise ; fourthly, never indebted ; and, fifthly, that before the commencement of the action he had satisfied the plaintiff's claim. It appeared from the evidence that in the end of the year 1855 General Shirley was about to proceed to Turkey, in consequence of the Rue eau war, when he felt disposed to take with him a pack of bounds with which to wile away his leisure hours, and partly, probably, as the learned counsel observed, to astonish the natives. He accordingly applied to Mr. Tattersall, who procured the plaintiff, and entered into an agreement with him on the defendant's account. The agreement was in writing, signed by the plain tiff and Mr. Tattersall, and dated 28th December, 1855. The plaintiff was to be paid 51. per month, and provided with food, clothing, and lodging, and a passage out and home. On the sth January, Mr. Tat tersall paid the plaintiff 51., and another 51. on the 9th, for which credit was given. On the Bth January, the plaintiff put the bounds en boarra vessel at Deptford, and on the 10th sailed with them for Constantinople. He arrived with them all safe on the 11th February, and waited on the defendant, who sent him with the hounds to a" place 40 miles from Constantinople. Oa the 28th May he received a letter from the defendant stating that he believed he had sold the hounds, and would let him hear further. The hound■ ultimately changed hands, but the defendant still continued to at tend to them, awaiting the defendant's further orders , and it was on the letter, about which there appeared to be a misunderstanding that the action was brought. When the plaintiff got to Constantinople he found the defendant had left, and was unable to avail himself of a free passage home in a Government trans port. lie ultimately came home in charge of Mr. Ware's horses, giving his services, which he reckoned worth 16/., and claimed of the defendant for his passage home. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 1881. 7s. 61. CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. IMPORTANT DECISION UPON THE LIAEILITT OF SHOP . SIIIIPERS.--BAD MONST.-TODRUNTER ♦. SCOTT. This was a CASO in which plaintiff (late Inspector of the City 'Mice Force), sought to recover the sum of ls. for a counterfeit shilling alleged to have been taken at defendant's shop. Plaintiff said on the 16th October last, he went into defendant's (a tobacconist) shop on Holborn-bill, and purchasing half-al-ounce of shag to bacco, tendered a sovereign, and in the change received, plaintiff found after be left the shop a counterfeit shilling. Defendant said—the facts of the case were that when plaintiff purchased the tobacco, defendant's wife who was in the shop, sent to the public-house neat door for change, and it was handed to plaintiff without being even counted by Mrs. Scott. The change was obtained from the public-house especially for plaintiff's accommo dation. Plaintiff--I received the change from defendant's shop and took from there a bad shilling in part change for a good sovereign. Verdict for defendant and ousts. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Day.) MARLBORO UGH-STREET. AeSAULT Br A VAGRANT.—EIIen M'Qaillan, a noto- How; rld beggar, eras brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with assaulting Alexis Desati, a French gen tleman, residing at No. 8, Lisle-street, Leicester-square. The prosecutor stated that on the previous night, about ten o'click, he was going into the Casino in Newman-street, when he was accosted by the prisoner, who told him such a deplorable tale of her distress and suffering, that he was induced to give her fourpence. In about an hour afterwards be had occasion to leave the place, when, to his great surprise, he was again ac costed by the prisoner, who related just the same tale as she had done before, and he at once thought she was an imposter, and desired her to be off. Two ladies at that moment came up, and the prisoner solicited alms of t h e m. They refused to listen to her, when she, with a vo lley of abuse, rushed upon them and kicked them several times. He went to their protection, when the prisoner struck him in the face, and called him a Frenchman, a thief, and an assassin. She was proceed. ing to further violence, when a constable came up, into whose custody she was at once consigned. The prisoner in defence said it was all a lie ; the pro secutor first assaulted her, but she was so thank that she could not tell what happened. Mr. Beadon said he should refresh her memory by committing her to the House of Correction for a month. WESTMINSTER. George Rouse, described as a carpenter, was charged before Mr. Paynter with entering the stable of Mr. H. Fox, an independent gentleman, No. 48, Brompton-cres from the evidence, that about 11 o'clock cent, and stealing a set of coach harness, 2 horse-cloths, oaanirseeead female of some one moving iu the stable.

She gave an alarm, upon which Dawson, the a m on entering the stable,an rushed out of the house, when, h e saw the prisoner, who wa s i n th e ac t o f taking away the harness and the ot her articles. Upon stableman, Dawson laying hold of him he exclaimed, " Oh, forgive me, forgive mt ..” He was given into the custody of Ashton, 164 B, and taken to the station-house. Sergeant Moore, B 1, stated that it was likely the prisoner g,t, i n t o the stable by a lat c h-key. Mr. P.synter asked if the prisoner were known ? Dennis, gaoler, said that h e h a d b een on a f ormer occasion t on a similar ch a r ge . Th e prisoner was remanded. Arriat rrED SIIIOIDE.—John Cartar, plasterer, 10, t t e o court Pye-street, West minster, was charged with attempt ing to commit suicide. Police-constable Dighton, 175 B, said that last night he was on duty in Old Pye-street, when he heard a cry o f ii p o l i ce " at the house where the prisoner resides. On getting there he was told that he (prisoner) had attempted to commit suicide. Witness found him on a landing, and by him was a handkerchief with which he tried to hang himself. Some one cut him down. Prisoner, who said he was drunk at the time he made the attempt on his life, was remanded. We regret to have to announce the death of Mr. Archibald Hastie, M.P. for Paisley, which took place at Edinburgh on Monday last. Mr. Hastie had been much indisposed for some months ; but it was hoped, until recently, that the strength of his constitution would enable him to recover. He was in his 65th year. Mr. Hastie was in many respects a remarkable man. He was descended of respectable parents in the West of Scotland. He had merely the common school education of his country, but that and his native sense fitted him to fill with credit various important situations. At an early period his brothers settled in Calcutta, where they carried on business partly as coach builders and partly as merchants, while he settled in London, acting partly as their agent and partly speculating on his own account. The whole family were very successful. At a later period Mr. Hastie became connected with the East India Docks, awl his sagacity and ability were eminently displayed in the skill and success with which he assisted in rescuing that important concern from the depression into which its affairs had sunk after the cessation of its monopoly. A purchase which he effected of some property in Lanarkshire has also turned out to be extremely advantageous. In 1836 Mr. Hastie was elected member of Parliament for Paisley —a distinction on which he set a high value. And it may be said that it cost him a high price, for owing to the severe distress with which his constituents were frequently visited very heavy demands were made upon him, which he met with the greatest generosity and goodwill. In politics Mr. Hastie was an indepen dent consistent Liberal, and voted uniformly with that party in Parliament. In private life he was in the highest degree generous, open-hearted, and friendly. His hospitalities were conducted on a large and a liberal scale. He was the owner of Burns' punch-bowl, and the celebrations of the poet's birthday held at his house were by far the best of such festivals. NBW MAYORS.

INDIAN MUTINY RELIEF FUND. —Among the recent contributions to this fund is one from his Majesty the King of Greece, who has forwarded through his minister at the British court a cheque for 4001., with an intima tion that he had directed that lists of subscriptions to the fund should be opened by the Prefects throughout his kingdom). His Majesty th. King of Sardinia has also contributed a donation of 10,000 f., and several members of bis Majesty's government bare liberally sub scribed in aid of the fund. Information has been re cei red from Constantinople that the contributions made there already exceed 1,10')1, and are expected to be considerably increased. A donation of 2701. has also been received from his Highness the Maharajah Duleep Singh, with expressions of special interest in the cases of native Christians who may have been reduced to a state of distress in consequence of the mutinies. MILITARY DINNER AT Till CRYSTAL PALACIL—Tbe 68th Light Infantry, so deservedly complimented by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on Thursday last, when he presented them with new colour•, have re ceived orders to embark for India, where, if opportunity offers, they will doubtless add to the present tame of the regiment. Tke officers of the corps have liberally pro proposed a farewell dinner at the Crystal Palace, and the men, accompanied by their wives and children. will leave Portsmouth at an early hour to-nsorrow (Thurs day) by special trains for Sydenham, where they will be summoned to the concert-room to discuss the good things to be there provided by Messrs. Staples. We wish the gallant fellows a pleasant day and a safe return front the errand of justice on which they are to be despatched. ANCEIORS FOR Tin LIIYILTHAN.—The experiments in order to test the anchors selected by Mr. Brunel, for the Leviathan steam-ship, have been carried on for several days, at the hydraulic proof-house, Woolwich DJckyard, in the presence of Captain Harrison, the commander of the vessel; Mr. Atherton, chief engineer of the factory departineet, and Mr. Trotman, the patentee of the an chors now used for the Royal Navy. The result has proved that the anchors selected were capable of sustain ing a strain much above the ordinary proof. The first anchor broke at a strain of 94 tone, in consequence of defective workmanship, but the second anchor, weigh ing 4 tons, suet fined a strain of 101 tons, when it broke from the power of the pressure, which was 90 per cent. overproof. The manufacturers of these anchors are Messrs. Henry Wood and Co., of London and Liverpool, and they are constructed on the principle of Trottnan's patent. Upwards of 20 anchors, recently made fur the Hon. East India Company, have been condemned, as they were unable to sustain the ordinary proof strain ; and the result of the experiments with the anchors for the Leviathan are, therefore, unusually favourable. ROYAL GROGRATHIOAL SOCIETY.—The opening meet ing for the session was held on Monday evening at Bur lington-douse, Sir R. J. Murchison, president, in the chair. Among those present were—the Earl of Sheffield, Generals Monteith and Phillips ; Colonels trawler, Port lock, Sotheby, and King ; Major Vardon, Mr. R. Ste phen/son, 24. P., Drs. Livingston. Hodgkin, Fittou ' Blackie, Kinkle, and Baden Powell; CeptainsCollinso n' Paulson, Aldrich, Hamilton, Ryder, Tindal, and H a ll, R.N., &c. The diploma of the society as corrceponding member was presented to Dr. Livingstone amid general applause. The President announced the publication of Dr. Livingston's work recounting his travels in Africa, which might be fairly reckoned as the most rema r k a bl e feature of the year, affording as it did in the most graphic manner a clear insight into the character of the countries traversed, the manners and customs of the natives, the physical features, commercial resources, natural pro ducts, and varied information of the different parts visited ; end what rendered the work more important to geographers was tise fact of all the points being deter mined by accurate witrouornical observations. The attention of the meeting wa then called to the Ist volume of the Proceedings of the Society, the 11th num ber of which had just been issued. The chairman dwelt upon the advantage the members derived from being furnished by this publication with early information with regard to the subjects brought before the society, and finally read an extract from letters which had been received from Captains Young and M'Clintock, off Greenland, reporting the progress of the Franklin Expedition. The accessions to the library and map room since the last meeting were numerous and im portant. The papers read were :-1. Additional Notes of the North Australian Expedition, under Mr. A. C. Gregory, by Mr. Thos. Baines, artist to the expedition ; 2. Late Discoveries in the Country to the North of Mount Serle, by Assistant-Surveyor-General G. W. Gorder, in command of the South Australian Expedition, communicated by the R:ght Hon. H. Labouchere ; 3. Results of Dr. Vogel and Corporal Maguire's Astrono mical Observations in Central Africa, computed at the Map-rooms of the Royal Geographical Society, by Mr. C. George, R.N. The meeting then adjourned to No vember 23. CHARTIST AND MIDDLII-OLASS UNION.—The leader of the Chartist body has issued a letter which says : " With regard, then, to coming events we need not ad vert to them more than ie requisite for preyaration. Great times are coming—and bow shall we receive them? The first preparation requisite is manifestly to choose our battleground. How are we to fight ? Single-handed or with allies—and in either case, with what weapons This is the proposition that should be made to the middle classes :—Will you, or will you not, unite with us for uni versal male adult suffrage and a repeal of the property qualification ? If they would riot, all is at an end between us and them, and we go on single-handed on a pathway that I know full well. If they will join us on those terms well and good ; the question would be very speedily settled by a decisive victory—a victory not doubtful for a single moment—a victory eciiieved without a flash of fire or a drip of blood. 1 know some cavillers will say that I am swerving from the ()barter. Do not believe them ; but what I seek to bring about is, if possible, a union of the working and middle classes to counteract the growing military power of the aristocracy and Crown. Under cover of the Indian war an immense army is being established. If we are beaten in India, and lose it, the army will be reduced, but the force formerly em ployed in India will be quartered at home If we con quer in India, the pretence will be advanced that a vast force is needed to prevent future outbreaks—and that force will be stationed in England, not in Hindostan. I see the game. In London it shows itself very plainly. A huge new barrack is rising at Kensington—another is to he raised in Kennington ; and from Aldershot to Colchester, from Woolwich to Eforreelow, camps and military stations are surrounding the metropolis. This is not a time in which to quarrel with auy suction of the ommunity that we believe to be honest and friendly. ' " The directors of the Western Bank regret to say that in consequence of their having been unable to obtain the necessary assistance to carry the bank through the pre sent monetary crisis, they have been compelled to sus pend payment until further notice." The bank was no sooner closed than great crowds of people assembled in front of the building., many of them with looks of dismay intimating their immedi ate loss, while others apparently came only to specu late on the affairs of the bank. Great dismay was caused among the note-hoidens ; for, as rretny public works get their supplies of wages money from the Western Bank, large numbers of them are poor people. A general rush was made to get rid of Western notes, and instances are known of con siderable discount being offered. This, of course, occurred only among the most ignorant classes, for men of business know very well that the notes are a perfdct security for ultimate payment. Various statements are made as to tl.e immediate cause of the' suspension, the most generally believed being the severepressure on the part of depositors, accom panied by American losses and a want of assistance from the other banks. Circulars are being sent out to the creditors, containing assurance that full payment will speedily be made if the directors are supported by the forbearance of creditors. A meeting of shareholders is called for the 2d of December. The Mail publishes the following announcement in a► second edition : " We have the distressing intelligence to com municate that the Western Bank suspended pay ment at two o'clock this afternoon. This event was not altogether unexpected, but is not the less deplored. We understand that circulars will be issued to the creditors communicating details and suggesting measures to be pursued, which, with for bearance and calm self-possession on the part of the public, may avert many of the calamitous effects which would o'herwise result from such a catastrophe. There is scarcely such another bank in Scotland which, if time is allowed by the credi tors, is so well able to draw upon the resources of its wealthy proprietary. The holders of notes in the bank would do well not to part with them at discount, as we have no doubt that ultimate pay ment in full is certain. Of the suspension of the firm of Messrs:. Dennis touu, Cross, and Co., of London, Liverpool, and this city, the Mail of this morning remarks : " This is the first calamity which has befallen Glasgow in consequence of the American difficulties, but it is one of colossal magnitude—Messrs. Den nistoun and Co. being one of the oldest, most wealthy, and honourable of our firms. There can be little doubt, we th'nk, from the well-known re sources of the house, that its engagements will ulti mately be liquidated in full. Very exaggerated re ports have been going, we understand, with respect to the advances of the Union Bank of Scotland to the Messrs. Dennistoun. The firm, we believe, had no discount account with that bank, and any mode rate advances made to it are secured." THE LITTEEPOOL BOROUGH BANK LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. Pursuant to an advertisement in the local jour nals, an extraordinary general meeting of the pro prietors of the Borough Bank was held at the office is Water-street, at noon to-day, for the purpose of receiving a statement of the affairs and concerns of the company, and also of assenting to, or dissenting from, a resolution to be then proposed for regis tering the company under the Joint-Stock Com panies' Act of 1857, and also of taking into consi deration such other measures as in the present cir cumstances of the bank may be deemed advisable. Mc. W. Rathbone, chairman of the board of direc tors, occupied the chair. There were present 103 persons, holding 36,654 shares, and proxies were held for 37 persons, holding 21,887 shares. The steps taken since the suspension of the bank were detailed by the chairman, and approved of by the shareholders, it being stated that depositors to the extent of one million had agreed to the terms proposed. It was then moved by Mr. A. B. Braucker, and seconded by Mr. S. Martin, "That the banking company called. the Liverpool Borough Bank be forthwith registered as a company under the Joint- Stock Banking Companies' Act of 1857." The resolution was adopted unanimously. On the motion of Mr. H. Killick, it was resolved unanimously, " That the thanks of the meeting are duo and aro hereby given to the committee of share holders, for their valuable services, and that they be requested to continue to render their assistance." On the motion of Mr. Brancker, seconded by Mr. J. Cropper, it was resolved unanimously, "That this meeting be adjourned till Thursday, the 12th instant, at two o'clock, for the purpose of allowing the company to be registered iu the meantime un der the Joint Stock Banking Companies' Act of 1857, and, upon such registration being effected, to receive from the directors a statement of the affairs and concerns of the company, and to take into con sideration the propriety of winding up voluntarily under the provisions of the said Act, or of taking such other proceedings as might be deemed expo client." The meeting was considered private, and the foregoing accounts are of official origin. We gather from other sources that, in answer to some ques tions put at the meeting, it was stated that not a single peony of the bankfunds had been lost through the personal proceedings of the directors, or the re latives or connections of the directors. The meeting was throughout most harmonious, and the whole proceedings did not occupy more than forty minutes. THE MOW PANIC IN PARIS. (Front Galignani's lifessedger.) 1 We described very recently four distinct mea- J surcs proposed by the Pagrie with the view of meeting the effects of the financial crisis ; that i journal appears since to have changed its ideas on' the subject, for it now advocates the simultaneous I adoption of the three following measure., which, we presume, represent its definitive opinion : "1: A forced circulation of bank-notes and the 1 iremeliate issue of the 50fr. notes authorised by the law of the 23d June, 1857. 2. A high duty on the export of specie, with severe measures on ' the part of the customs authorities and the police for the detection: and punishment of attempts at fraud. 3. The immediate reduction of the rate of discount to 6 per cent. No person would find cause of complaint in these measures. Commerce would be supplied with abundant capital at the bank ; speculators in the precious metals would ex perience the greatest difficulty in exporting specie which they could no longer obtain from the bank cellars. The bank would preserve a specie reserve corresponding with the extension taken by its paper issue. Finally, money would be maintained at a reasonable price, for it is evident that it is not Worth more than 6 per cent. in France at the present mo ment ; this is proved by the daily investments in railway bonds, which bear no higher interest. Let these combined measures be adopted, and France will be respected by the storm without her com , merce being affected, or her prosperity diminished." The Pays takes a mere favourable view of finan cial matters, and does not appear to be highly im pressed with the wisdom of the many and conflict ing remedies proposed by its contemporaries ; it says : " The unsatisfactory financial position in which the great States of the West hare been placed. by the folly of young America cannot be concealed. The rise of the rats of discount in all the princi pal money markets of Europe is the immediate and deplorable consequence of the disasters in the United States. But these consequences aro not the only ones, for we are now called on to guard against the export of English and French.gold to the United States. We will not enter into an exami nation of the various systems which have been pro posed by the journals during the last few days ; each journal, with the very best intentions, no doubt, recognises in its own ideas the best means of putting an end, not only to the drain of specie, but to the crisis itself. Without wishing to appear op_ titniAs, or to create false, allusions with respect to the position of French commerce, we do not con sider matters to be so gloomy as they are repre sented. We will remark that the rente, which last month figureakt 66f. 50c. is at the present moment at 67f. (it has declined since the above was written). t The bullion reserves of tho Bank of France amounted o t n he tSaturdayenti. lastattention of to governmentnearlyoo millions ; a year ago at the same period the reserve was 150 milltons. The excellent harvest of this year allows the dis posal of resources which au unfavourable year would have absorbed. Finally the last customs return, published by the Moniteur proved ,beyond a doubt the prosperity of the country." Our contemporary concludes by affirming that to measures which it is pro gress of the crisis. 2' is seriously directed hoped will check the pro- THE LOSS OF THE ATHENIAN. Captain Gifford, of the packet-ship P a t r i c k 'Henry, arrived at New. York, reports that on-Sep tember 30, lat. 46.16, lo ng . 24 .12, he fell in with the British barque Athenian, Stephenson, of an d for South Shields from Quebec (timber) water logged and disabled. He took' from her Captain Stephenson, his mate, and 15 seam en , an d b rought them to ew York. The Athenian had expe. rienced very heavy weather, and sprung a leak, so the pumps would not free her by constant pumping; from the effects of which the crew were entirely exe hausted. Captain Stephenson expressed his sin cere thanks to Captain Gifford for his'kindness aria attention to himself and crew while on board his ship in the fallowing card :—"Captain Stephenson, of the Atheniae, reports—We left Quebec on the sth of September, and proceeded favourably foi about a week towards South Shields. From this time forward, however, the wind became boiste rous, so much so that on the 16th the ship sprung a leak, and we had to keep both pumps going. On the night of the 16th the wind increased, and for two or three days the gale continued. The 22d Sept. brought with it a renewal of the gale, I which had only subsided a day or two before, and at 8 p.m. on the evening of that day two of the barque's sails were rent to shreds. Almost all sail was now taken in, the pumps wore worked con tinually, and the sea broke over the ship in a furious manner. The 23d and 24th Sept. brought no change. The leak, however, was visibly gaining on the efforts of the crew, whose entire time was now occupied at the pumps. On the 26th the crow were very much exhausted, and became desirous of leav ing the ship altogether. The 27th and 28th were not marked by anything very different from the state of things on the 26th. On the 29th the barcine was almost waterlogged, - the sea ran very heavy, and the gale had increased. At two p.m. a tremen dous wave washed over the ship, sweeping away' the bulwarks, railings, stanchious, &c., and fore-' ing the men at the pumps almost overboard; it also stove in several of the casks containing the necessary supply of fresh water, literally filling the cabin • and the forecastle, thereby rendering them perfectly useless, and did much more injury of a smaller amount. In addition to the cabins being made useless, the stores which the cabin contained were almost spoiled by being im mersed in salt water. I then sounded the pumps, and ascertained that there were 74 feet of water in the hold, and perceiving that waterlogging was in evitable, ordered some provisions and water up to the maintop, with the intention of having every one retire there as they relieved each other at the pumps, because no portion of the deck was dry, and there was no place to retire to since the cabins were filled. At noon the barque became altogether unmanageable, and the 'violence of the waves sweeping over her continually prevented the men altogether from working at the pumps, for in their now totally exhausted state they were swept to leeward by every wave. On the 30th, the wind, which bad lulled into stillness in the course of the preceding day, again began to in crease, and was blowing a gale at five p.m., when. a vessel was espied by one of the men at no great distance to leeward. The rays of hope, which had' almost deserted everyone, now returned, and in - fused new and desperate energy into their exhausted fratnee. lat once ordered out two of the bolts, and although the sea was very heavy the orders were obeyed with the greatest alacrity. We then rowed in the direction which brought theta in the course of the stranger, and with agitated minds awaited her approach. Slowly and silently did the stately ship near us every moment, and when she was within speaking distance, I called out to her, and the mate told vie to come on board, which we did with much difficulty, after passing under the stern of the vessel. Since then we have hem treated well, and the men, with the exception of two, are in a fair way of regaining their former strength." COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE WITS AFRICA. (From the Leeds Mercury.) It will be recollected that during fire recent visit of Dr. Livingston to this town that he met the Leeds and Bradford Chambers of Commerce at the Stock Exchange Hall, where he delivered an ad dress on " The commercial resources of Central Africa." The result was the adoption, by both Chambers of Commerce, of memorials to Lord Clarendon, requesting him to use his in fluence with the Portuguese Government to secure the free navigation of the Zam.be.i, and to give that free dom of transit, and that freedom of commercial in tercourse in the Portuguese colonies, on both the west and east coasts of Africa, which are necessary in order to develope the resources of these colonies, as well as of the native districts. The memorials were presented on the sth inst. to Lord Clarenthin, by Lord Goderich and General Thompson. The result is explained by Lord Goderich, in .the fol.- ' lowing letter to John Jowitt, jun., Esq., of. this town : "1, Carlton-gardenr, Pall-mall, London, S.W. Stb November, 1857. • "Dear Sir,—l received this morning your letter of yesterday, and I have now to inform you, in reply to it, that General Thompson and myself had an interview with Lord Clarendon this afternoon, at which I pre sented to him the memorial from the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, "Ho listened most attentively to the statement which we made to bins, and gave very satisfactory assurances as to the intentions of the Government. Dr. Livingston, he said, would proCeed to Lisbon with the strongest re commendations both to the Kirg and Government of Portugal, and he assured me that he. would receive the hearty support of our Minister at that Court in his efforts to secure the freedom of the navigation of the Zstubesi, and the utmost facilities for commercial intercourse with the interior of Africa. " It appeared to me that Lord Clarendon entered fully into the views of the Chamber an laid down in the memo rial, and he seemed to be particularly impressed with the necessity of encouraging the growth of cotton by nil practicable means. " I also brought under his notice, in accordance with the request cqntained in your letter, the important sub ject of the recent renewal of the internal slave-trade on the West Coast of Africa in consequence of the proceed ings of the French, and I am happy to say that he told me that the attention of the Government was strongly directed to the matter, and that they were in communi cation with the French Government in respect to it. " Lord Clarendou begged me also to assure the Cham ber that he was at all times glad to receive from such bodies information as to their views upon subjects con• nested with the commercial interest of the country. " I remain, dear sir, yours faithfully, "To John Jowitr, E•q., jun." • "GODEBICH. LLOYD'S EHIPPI/19.—(This Day.) LONDON, Nov. 11.—Wind this day at noon, S.E. light breeze and fine.
