) .g,!x A Lr. AND QOMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices declined fully id. per lb. on all descriptious. The sales veto estimated at 2,000 bales, 400 of which were taken for specula tion and export. The distress among the commercial community is daily teconaing more painfully demonstra.ted. Numerots failures are taking place, which, besides impairing credit and awakening suspicions respect ing even solvent houses, necessarily bring down many otter firms who may be counected with them. When sash houses as Dennistoun, Sandiman, Hoare and Buxton; fail, who is safe ? This is the question naturally asked, and thusthe general inconvenience is increased, because the Bank, private bankers, and bill discounters, are more shy than ever in granting accommodation. The existing state of things has not been equalled since 1847, and the results will probably be far more serious than coult have been contemplated even by any of the most extreme Bears in the neighbour hood of Capel Court. Throughout the United Kingdom the " pinch" is being severely felt ; every branch of business has been prejudiced more or less, and the banking interest has received severe injury. Happily the effects of the alarm among Bank de positora are abating. Confidence is nearly restored in Scotland, :ad the sovereigns which were hurriedly obtained frau London—and in some instances by special traits--as a protection, are returning, about 1 00,0001. homing arrived at the Bank yesterday. In Ireland, too, where the farmers and others have taken fright, theme is now less alarm. The run upon the Cork and Tipperary Banks has almost ceased. Some of the gold sent there is also likely to flow back in the course of a few days. While this abatement of panic-feeling may be i source of congratulation, however, the mercantie world is being disturbed by the frequent failures bat occur. Although, in many instances, there is prospect of good dividends, the effect of these disasters is most injurious. Yesterday no less thanfive firms of importance sought the indul gence of ;heir creditors. These were briefly as fol lows ;—Nessrs. E. Sieveking and Co., in the Swedish irade, with liabilities estimated at 400,000/. to 600,0 W/. ; Messrs. Allen, Smith, and Co., con nected with Denmark, engagements large ; both these fins were effected by Messrs. Hoare and Bu:ton's failure ; Messrs. Gorrisea and terough the absence of Australian remit tances ; and Messrs. Brocklesby and Wessels, liabilities 40,0001., in the corn trade. Three or four others are supposed to be imminent, the con nection between these firms and others being inti mate. More the end of the year, the list will be Probably swelled to much larger dimensions, and there is an impression that a recovery will not take Place until the Spring. In the meantime, the In dian mutiny will most likely be quelled, and the situation of affairs in America may improve, so t hat, although monetary and commercial prospects are lowering at present, a general amelioration may, it is hoped, take place in the space of a few months. Besides the 100,0001. in sovereigns above referred 1 °) 9 2,0001. Australian, and 62,0001. Russian gold Were taken into the Bank yesterday. S ubjoined are the particulars of the specie on uoard the Nemesis which leaves Southampton to korrovr for India and China. _ Alexandria (gold) Aden (gold) Bombay (silver) Ceylon (gold) Madras (gold) Calcutta (gold) Calcutta (silver) Penang (silver) Singapore (silver) 11 " g Kong (silver) Sha.nghai (silver) 41,00 500 118,195 2,200 1,135 900 172,874 3,885 2,600 13,229 2,270 Total £318,783 The A.Lu. stralasian has arrived with 526 , 0001. in. gold, Wuleb Bank.' it is hoped, will be sent into the In Lombard-street and at the Bank the pres sure continues. Several rumours are circulated relative to com mercial embarrassments, but no positive failures can yet be announced. A further quantity of sovereigns has been taken into the Bank. There has been rather more firmness in the mar- 18 ket for English Stocks, and a moderate amount of 20 business has been done at an improvement 102 of about per cent. The return of go l d from iv° Scotland, and the Australian remittance, have too Caused a better tone. The market, however, is 20 rather uncertain, and, owing to a few money sales, 2( the prices are now flatter. Consols for money have been 89i and 894 ; for account they Rave been 89 90. The present prices are 891 20. axid 89 1 4 respectively. The New Three per Cents. s t . are 88g ; the Reduced, 88i ; and Long An- 120 Unities, 1 15-16.

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-THE QUEEN V. MAME, CHAIRMAN OF THZ ROYAL BRITISH BANK, AND OTHERS. This morning the rule obtained by the defendants against the Attorney-General, calling on him to show cause why he should not supply them with certain par- titulars relied on relative to the various counts in the indictment, charging them with conspiracy and fraud in connection with the It4al British Bank, stood for Mr. Sergeant Sbee, who was r.atly to support the rule on behalf of Mr. Brown, said it would be very convenient if the Court would fix a day for bearing counsel in support of the various rules that had been obtained against the Attorney-General, calling upon him to furnish the defendants with certain particulars. Lord Campbell—That I felt, and I understood they were to be argued this morning. Mr. Sergeant Shee—Some of the rules have been obtained so late that it is impossible to argue them to-day. Lord Campbell—They all stand precisely on the same grounds, according to the statements of the— Mr. Sergeant Shee—No, my lord. Some are for particulars on all the counts, and some for particulars on certain counts only. Lord Campbell—DJ you show cause, brother Shee. Mr. Sergeant Shee—No, my lord, I support the rule. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said that he, with his learned friend Mr. Brown, and Sir F. Thesiger, who was not then present, were to show cause against the rule, and he asked the court not to proceed in the absence of Sir F. Thesiger. Lord Campbell—lt can stand over for the present, but I see no reason why it should not come on in the course of the morning. Sir F. Theeiger, who shortly after came into the court, said—l am prepared to proceed in the cases of the Royal British Bank, but it would be more convenient if they could stand over. Lord Campbell —if it is more convenient that the cases should stand over, let it be done. Sir F. Thesiger—l understand Sir F. Kelly, wbo is on the otter side, is at Chancery, and it would be very inconvenient for him to attend to-day. Lord Campbell—There are clay two cases in the special paper for to-morrow. The Court would be ready to hear the arguments after their disposal. Sir F. Thesiger—l think SAturday morning would be more convenient for ail. Lord Campbell—Let it be so, and to come on the first thing. The hearing of the arguments were accordingly fixed for Saturday morning next.

In July and August last, and on several occasions whilst in bed with him, she had been awoke by feelings of suffocation. On one occasion she found one of his hands over her mouth and with the other he was pressing her nose, to prevent her breath ing. In 1855 her husband, whilst she was in bed with him asleep, attempted to strangle her by violently pull ing the string of her night cap. He threatened also to smother her and otherwise injure her. Oa the night of the 26th October last she went to bed with her husband, and in the course of the night she was awoke from her sleep by finding that he had violently grasped her arm with one hand, and with the other he was pressing her head with great force on her chest, so as to prevent her breathing, and thus strangle her. She, however, suc ceeded in breaking away from him, and took refuge in tbo servant's room, where she remained awake the remaining portion of the night. In the morning, en complaining to him of his coaduot, he threatened to garotte her. On the 29th October she informed her parents of her husband'e cruelty; and on their advice she applied to a magistrate for proteotion from her husband's violent conduct, and he recom mended her to leave him and return and live with her parents, who resided at Hadleigh, about 17 miles from Woodbridge. She did so, bat returned to him again en his promise never again to hurt her. She, however, had scarcely returned home before he seized her vio lently by the arm, and bending her finger so as to cause her great pain, he tore her wedding ring from her finger, and had refused to give it her again. The same night he seat the only female domestic servant that was in the house away, and she had to re main with him alone ; he, however, went out, and did not return home till near two o'clock is the morning. Applicant, in the meantime, being afraid to sleep with him, went and laid down in a room adjoining her hus band's bedroom, and on his return she overheard him talking to himself, as homes in the habit of doing, saying that he would take her gold watch from her and murder her. He threatened her several times, and being afraid of her life, she sat up all that night, She then went home to her parents, who agreed to support her if her husband would c on t r ib ute 101 . a -year to her support, but he would only give her 2e. 6d. per week. which being too little she was obliged again to return to him. On the Ist of November she applied to the same magistrate as on a previous occasion for his protection but he refused to entertain her application and bind her husband over to keep the peace, advising her to separate from him and return and live with her parents. Applicant stated her belief that the magistrate had been improperly influenced by some parties and attributed to that his declining to call upon her husband to provide sureties of the peace. She was in daily bodily fear of her life. ..d 39 - 41 10 - 12 ia r 14 - 15 71 - 1 - 0 - 4 - ••• - ••• 6 - 6 2 3d Lord Campbell—l very much regret the magistrate referred to did not order, when applied to, the husband to find sureties of the peace, so as to render it unne• canary for the applicant to have applied to this court. We think she is entitled to our protection, and we grant the application. I don't think the magistrate, in refusing to call upon the husband to find sureties, acted from improper motives, but he was certainly wrong, according to the wife's statement, in refusing her application. Mr: Po.wer--Then your lordships order a writ of attachment to issue. Lord Campbell—yes. The writ was accordingly issued. IMPRISONMENT OF A MAGISTRATE. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. ROBERT BELLAMY, ESQ., MAGISTRATE OP TR! COUNTT OF DURHAM. In this case, the defendant was tried at the last Dur ham assizes, and found guilty of receiving money for compounding an offence. It appeared that two men were brought before the defendant, charged with tres passing on his land and shooting a rabbit for the sick wife of one of them. He took away the gun, and in sisted they should each pay him one pound, other wits he would send them handcuffed to gaol. The poor men accordingly sent to their friends and succeeded in obtaining the money, having, however, been kept in custody in the meantime with handcuffs on. The money was ultimately paid and the men discharged, and it was proved on the trial that the defendant appropriated the money to his own nse, instead of returning it in fines to the Clerk of the Peace. Mr. Justice Coleridge, in sentencing the defendant, commented strongly on his disgraceful conduct, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 2001. to the Queen, to be imprisoned 12 months in the Queen's Prison, as a first class misdemeanour, and at the end of the time to be farther imprisoned till the fine was paid. Lord Campbell said it should be known that that Court had no power to dismiss the defendant from the Commission of the Peace. He had no doubt, however, that the particulars would be laid before the Lord Chancellor, who would immediately dismiss him 11 from the Commission. •-•- • •• 6 6 1181 103 .• ••• 2i S d 3a - 2 J 2 3 li lid 16 16 - 5 - 56 Ji - - '2 72 - 74 5 - 6p 21 - 23 The Solicitor-General, who appeared on the part of the Crown, said he believed that bad already been done.

Brett, an experienced officer of the detective force of Loudon, has lately been at Brussels for the purpose of endeavouring to trace out something relative to the forged notes of the Bank of England which were some short time ago discovered there in a bat-case left at the Hotel des Estrangers, in the Rue des TresEire's. From his inquiries, it appears that the account already given was substantially correct. The hat case had been left at the hotel about threes years back by a porter, and since then never claimed. The case, alar a time, was deposited in the lumber-room, and there remained forgotten until the proprietor of the house, on seeing in the Engliele papers the details of the Waterloo-bridge tragedy, thought of what bad been left with him, and determined to examine it. It was heavy, and well secured by a brass padlock, and its general appearance was calculated to excite sus picion. His curiosity induced him to get it down and break the padlock, and he found it to contain thirteen large official-looking sealed envelope parcels. He opened them, and to his great astonishment discovered the contents to consist of some thousands of what appeared to him to be Bank of England notes. He took two of them to the shop of M. Edouard de Poire, a mosey-changer, who we believe was about to cash them when the hotel-keeper intimated that he wished his opinion as to their character. M. de Poire then exa mined them more closely, and detected that they were forgeri es, but so cleverly were they executed that other money-changers, notwithstanding the doubts expres,ed as to their genuineness, offered to exchange them. The discovery was at once communicated to Mr. Maltby, the British Consul, who made it known to the Bank of England, and the box and notes were placed in the custody of M. Van Hanw, of the Brussels police, until the English officer arrived. They they u nderwe nt a strict examination by the chief eNrever of the Btlgian Bank, w h ch occupied some Lours, and the whole of the notes were pronounced to he forged They, however, were so well executed, and the imitation so strong, both as regards the character of the taper, water-mark, etc., as to mislead the most cautious. They had evidently been struck off from three plates, which the Bank authorities believe to be British engraving. Tne 101. notes bear a date when there was no issue of that descrip tion of notes at the Bank of England. The Belgian police seem 'ither perplexed at the fact of so large a quantity of fictitious notes having escaped the scrutiny of their own Custom-house officials ; but on examination of the envelops it was ascertained that the parcels, notwithstand ing their size, had passed through the post office from Mar seilles, which poet-mark each bore. The forged notes were placed in an inner envelope. The outer ores were addressed to different parties invarioue places in Belgium (known to be living at the parts named at the time, but who have since absconded), while the inner ones were re-ad dressed to persons in Marseilles. This was a stratagem to d eceive the police. In the evert of one of the parties being captured, no doubt his excuse would be for pee session of the parcel, that he only received it to send it to the direction of the enclosed envelope, and that as it was sealed he knew nothing of the contents. Just previously to the tine of the box being ieft at the Hotel des Etrangers, some parties were apprehended at Frankfort cn a charge of passing Bank of England noes, on which occasion the Bank a at over Haydon, the City detective, to assist the authorities the re. Those forged notes now turn out to be fac similes of those discovered at Brussels. A great number of forged notes of a like character were in circulation on the Continent about that time, the parties were convieted, and th y made certain revelations to the G ivernmeuc respecting accomplices, which no doubt were i❑ Brus sels at the time, and owing to the publicity of the fraud, and fearing detection, but not wishing to destroy the notes, they resorted to the expedient of getting their stock in trade lett at the hotel as before narrated. That they carried on their nefarious trade in many of the Continental cities and towns there is ample proof, and as well as that some of the notes found their way to England. Brett, the officer, has just left Brus sels for London, to deposit the forged notes in the custody of the Bank of England. The Marquis Conyngham has arrived at the St. George's Hotel, Albemarle-street. The Dowager Lady Cowley is staying on a visit with the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, at Hatfield llou.e, Lord and Lady Arthur Hay will leave town, i❑ a few days, on a visit to the Duke and Duches3 of ,Wellington, at Strathfieldsaye. Mr. and Lady Augusta Milbanke and family arrived, on Tuesday, at Thomas's Hotel, from Brighton. The Rev. Mr. and Lady Milicent Barbar, with the Rev. Mr. Chins, have arriied at Claridge's Hotel, from Huntingdonshire. DEATH OF VIE PRINCIPAL OF ST. MARY HALL.— _ _ IN RE EVANS AND HOARE. These bankrupts, who had carried on an extensive business a 3 export ale and porter merchants, now passed their last examination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET, EXTRNSIVN BURGLARY BY A LAD.— MatheQv Charles Taylor, a lad 17 years of age, was placed at the bar, be fore Mr. Bingham, charged with burglariously breaking into the premises No. 21, Noel-street, Berwick-street, and stealing therefrom a quantity of silver spoons, four silver figures, several silver brooches, a lot of unset rubies, and other articles of considerable value, the property of Mr. John Le Roche, goldsmith and jeweller. John Bingham stated that he was foreman to Mr- Laßoche, and well acquainted with the prisoner, who was discharged from the same employ about eight weeks ago, for dishonesty. On Saturday afternoon last, wit ness having seen to the safety of the stock, and well secured the premises, left the place. On Monday morn ing on going to business, he was astonished to find that the premises had in the meanwhile been forcibly entered, and the whole of the property named in the charge stolen therefrom. Several secret drawers were broken open and rifled of their contents, and this, combined with various circumstances, induced him to suspect the prisoner to be the thief. Last night from information he received, he went to a public-house in Oxford-street, where be saw the prisoner. He called him out, and told him Mr. Le Roche, who was outside, desired to see him. The prisoner the■ came out, and witness told him ha had done a very pretty thing in robbing Mr. Ls Roche. The prisonet- said he had done nothing, nor did he know anything about the robbery. They then walked on till they met a constable, when the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. John Le Roche, jeweller, Noel-street, said that in consequence of the prisoner's bad character he was dis charged eight weeks ago. Since he had left Lim suspi cion of various robberies fell upon him, and he tieing the only person, with the exception of prosecutor and his brother, who knew of the construction of the secret drawers, and therefore could but know how to open them, he was at once suspected of the present burglary. Considerable property had been stolen, and at present witness was not aware of the extent of his los , . The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded for a week. WEST MINSTER. CRUEL CASE OF DESERTION.—WiIIiara Ambrose, a lady's boot and shoo maker, was charged with deserting his wife and c iild, The wife, an extremely creditable-looking young woman, with an infant in her arms, said that she had only been married to the defendant two years and a-half, During the last two months he had formed an improper intimacy with another woman, and on Wednesday three weeks he desired her to go to his employer to get him six pairs of boots to do. She wont, but found there was no work left out for him, as described, and on her return the defendant bad absconded, and bad left the infant lying on the step of the door. He was found last night at Bethnal-green, by Knowland, the summoning officer of the court, and taken into custody. Defendant said he would make his wife a weekly allowance. Mr. Painter—l don't think you are very likely to do that, as you are living with another won in. Your conduct is very disgraceful, and I shall commit you for two months to hard labour in the House of Correction, and if you don't do your duty when you come out and support your wife and child, I will send you for tria!, as an incorrigible rogue. Mary Connell, a young hearty-looking woman, was charged with deserting her three illegitimate children, of tender years. Mr. Colless, relieving officer of St. Margaret's, said the law would not reach the defendant for desertion, as the offence of running away was committed in Jene, 1856, which was out of the legal lapse of time ; he must, therefore, merely proceed for the minor o ffence of neglecting to maintain. Elizabeth Parker stated that in compassion to the woman's children she gave her and them a lodging for a week, in June, 1356 ; but on getting up one morning she found defendant had picked her pocket of all the money she possessed, and had absconded, leaving her children. Being penniless, she could neither get them nor herself food, and took them to the workhouse, where they had been since maintained. Sergeant Lavine proved that the woman was compe tent to maintain her children. _ _ Mr. Payater said her conduct was very bad, and corn =Med her for a mouth to hard labour. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—CharIes Murray, a Towerful. looking man, aged 24, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with beating and kicking Philip Clifford, a Yorkshireman, in a most barbarous manner. The prosecutor, a tall, burly fellow, presented a hideous appearance. His face was swollen, his features mutilated, and there were surgical plasters under each eye. He said that he lived in Wentworth-street, and did nothing particular for his living. • Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the two men before his worship were two of the most worthless fellows in the district, and had been in the practice of going about from public-house to public-house, sponging upon sailors, and living by the most disre putable means. The prosecutor, who lived in a locality in Whitechapel, swarming with thieves, was the worst of the two. It appeared that the two fel lows were drinking together at the Cock and Neptune public-house, last night, and that the prisoner asked the complainant to purchase some tea, sugar, and bread for him, and gave him half-a-crown for that purpose. The complainant, to use his own phrase, stuck to the money and spent it upon himself. The prisoner with a dread ful oath swore he would be revenged. He waylaid the complainant about one o'clock in the morning, in Leman , street, Whitechapel, knocked him down, jumped upon him, acd kicked him about the head, face, and body. The groans and cries of the wounded man were heard by a police-constable, named Lewin, 77 H, who heard him say don't kill me, don't kill me. The man I became insensible from loss of blood and the dreadful punishment he received, and there is no doubt that but for the opportune arrival of the police the man would have been murdered. The man was conveyed to the hospital, where his wounds were dressed. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had not been to sea for seven months ; that he lived on money supplied to him by his brother-in-law, of No. 2, Royal Exchange Buildings ; and that his father left him 6001. some time ago. Mr. Yardley did not believe the prisoner, and con sidered him to be a most idle and worthless ruffian. The public peace was not to be disturbed by such a villain. He sentenced the prisoner t,) pay a fine of 31., and in default sentenced him to one monta s imprisonment. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

S V.L",701,1)'. wen for payment of legacy came heirs the Bc , ecii law-courts last wn-k. Stephen Henderson, a planter in Louisiana. died in 1838, pos sessed of property valued at 300,0001. He was born in ' the parish of Duublane, Perthshire, and his fortune would appear to have been altogether self-acquired. He left a will, which set out by protesting against any ex ception being taken to its form, writing, or spelling. He p •ovicies for the conversion cf his Destrehan plantation i .to a city to be called Daublane, and gives the following picture of his family :—" fly whole family may be con sidered as a family of drunkards, and this misfortune must have come upon the side cf my father ; although that he was an antiquarian, learned and intel igent, yet to get drunk once a month was to him a jubilee. My motocr was a Drummond, a descendant of the M`Gregors, but without much capacity. They were bore cradle and high-minded as respects their interc urse with oilers, but profligate and indolent as respects the management of their private concerns; being poor they were always in bankruptcy." He then proceeds to direct that his slaves shall ba treated with humanity, and that the adults shall receive 31b. of good beef or pork per week' He says ;—" I have always treated my blacks with much indulgence, aed even personal kindness. I have always bEen opposed to slavery, but as it is properly rocognieed by the constitution of the United States, to tike that away you would at once destroy the greatest and best regulated Goveinment in the Old or New World. Therefore, all attempts made by the fanatics or misguided people that is going about and preaching, like evil spirits, against slavery, turns the heads of the unfortunate negroes, and prepares them for the com mission of every kind of crime, which compels their masters to limit the very liberty which they formerly awarded to them." He gives directions for the eman cipation of his slaves by lot at intervals of five years, and the furnishing of them with a free pas:age to " our settlement in Africa ;" but " it must be clearly under stood that the benefit now granted to my slaves is not to extend to a murderer or thief, or a confirmed runs away, or for any other high crime that can be legally proved." Among a number of legacies, he leaves the two which form the subject of the present action in the fol lowing terms :—" 2,100 dots. per annum to be paid to the poor of the town of Duublane, in Perthshire, North Britain (this sues t) be divided by the resident minister of the Presbyterian church), and to the two highest civil officers in the town, to be paid upon due proof of their acceptance of their trust, say 2,000 dolt. ; 2,000 dole. A roniewF, Y. mnrka . _ f..r the erection of aschoolhouse in the town of Dunblane for 10 yeere only, and for the purpose of educating of the poor, this 'oeiria the !lace of my birth. I feel no obligation, however, for these acts of charity ; it is only done to help the poor who like myself may be:thrown on the world without a penny or a friend. My greateat ob ject is to do the greatest quantity of good, and to the greatest number, and to the poorest people. I shall leave the world without regret, believing that I shall go to a better and happier one." The pursuers in the nation are the Rev. James Boe, minister of the parish, and the Sheriff Substitute and Sheriff Clerk Depute of the western district of Perthshire, Dunblane having no burghal constitution. The defenders are the heirs-at law, the brothers and sisters of the testator, domiciled, we believe, in Scotland. Since 1838 proceedings have been going on in respect to Henderson's will in the courts of Louisiana, and in 1850 the legacies were there deeared of none effect, en the grounds that there are three " Presbyterian " ministers in the town of Dun- Wane (that is the parish minister and two ministers of Diseenting Presbyterians) and to "highest civil law ollicers "in the town ot Dunblane. It had also been re presented to the Court that the effect of the legacy, if paid, would not he to benefit Dunblane, but to relieve the heritors of the county, seeing that the town was un incorporated. The pursuers aver that tie invalidity of the bequest was declared in their absence and on ex parts evidence. The defenders meet the claim by three pre liminary pleaq, filet, that the pursuers have no title, that the question is res judicata by tee American Courts, and that this is not a competent Ccurt. The Lord Ordinary (Benholme) repelled these preliminary pleas, and the defenders reclaimed to the first division, which has now found that the case is not res judicator, and that the Court of Se:sion is forum, conzpetens. The Court, however, reeerves the question ot title as entering into the merits. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.
