Letters from Liverpool state tbat the Cotton Market, yesterday, was firm, with a pretty good demand for all descriptions. The sa'es were 10,000 bales, about one-third of which were taken for export. The Railway Share Market was dull and inanimate. The Bank of England r,turn completed to the 4th inst. is not so favourable as was generally expected, and in some respects it may be con sidered unsatisfactory. There is an increase in the other securities, and a contrary movement in the Reserve of notes, showing that the pressure for accommodation up to that date was exceed -0;ly active, probably owing to the preparations _ As tl applications for th© 4th of the month. _ de at the Bank during the last few days have been diminished in consequence of the lower rates charged " out of doors," thn next statement may allow some improvement, and the bullion, owing to the continuous influx, is sure to be larger. The dividend payments however will produce some - alterations. Ths principal items and the changes they present are as subjoined.

These remittances are equal to 421,5001., and, as the continental demand is still very limited, the greater part will, no doubt, be sent into the Bank. The demand for money is still limited, and the rates of discount are lower. The Funds have experienced a decline of to 8 per cent., owing to speculative sales, principally based upon a statement in a French paper that news had been received from India announc ing that the insurrection had gained ground, and that 2,000 men had died from the ex cessive heat of the weather. The returns published by the Banks of England and France also weakened the market. Consols have receded to 02i for transfer, and to 921 e for the account.

Juft as our last was written business was be coming brisker, with a disposition on the part of the public to buy ; but with the exception of a demand for a few kinds of stock, not much has been done in the way of general business, nrr will there be until pur chasers give up the idea of getting great bargains and advance in their prices. Money is getting easier, and will doubtless become more plentiful in the market before long, and when high rates of interest cannot be obtained more will be trought into speculatiena. hi ining Tournsil of tAio E S N,Ef f {2l,4o D 0 N SA.TURDA - V EVEtkING, JULY 11, LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Campb(ll and Common Juries.) =SWELL V. TILLEY- CCM. CON. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Mr. Do3le and Mr. H. James were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Clarke conducted the case for the defence. From the opening statement of ceunsel, it appeared that the plaintiff, John Hudswell, was a clerk and book keeper in the service of Messrs. Quarles, Harris, and Co., wine-merchants for the city of London, in whose employ he had been about 15 years. The defendant, William Tilley, was a young man about the same age as the plaintiff, and was in partnership with his father, Tilley, sen., who carried on the business of a coach painter at Edmontcn. In November, 1818, the plain tiff became acquainted with Easily Cox, the daughter of James Cox, a builder, residing at De Beauvoir-town, Hackney, and two years afterwards he m-rried her. They lived together happily for five or six years, the issue of the marriage being a boy now six years old, and the plaintiff had no rea on to suppose that his wife conducted herself otherwise than in a proper manner ; but it unfortunately happened that in the sum user of 1856 the plaintiff, who then lived at Homerton, went to reside at Edmonton, and took a house next door to that occupied by the defendant and his father. The gardens of the two dwellings were merely eepar g ated by a dwarf wall, and in consequence of this facility for ieter couree between the occupants of the two houses, the plaintiff and defendant became intimately acquainted. The younger Tilley became a visitor at the plaintiff's hou-e, where he was well received by the plaintiff, and after playing a game at draughts, he would return home in the evening. The Plaintiff, who was away from home during business hours, at length began to think that there was too much familiarity in his presence between his wife and the defendant, and he sought to discon tinue the intimacy which had hitherto existed between her and Tilley. About Christmas, 1856, he had a sus picion that the conduct of his wife was not what it ought to be, but it was merely a suspicion, and he re moved from Edmonton to Tottenham. Here they con tinued to live for some time, and the plaintiff was pained to discover an alteration in the habits of his wife. He began to fear that she was addicted to drinking, and 'in consequence of what he saw he asked his servant if any persons were in the habit of visiting her, and he then learnt f9r the first time some facts which would be laid before the jury. A servant girl, _named Hannah May nard, informed him that, while he 'was absent at busi ness, young Tilley was in the habit of visiting the house, frequently arriving in the morning about ten o'clock, dining with Mrs. Hudswell, and leaving at four in the afternoon. He scarcely ever entered the house except upon a signal given by Mrs. Hudswell—viz , pulling down the upper sash of the parlour window, which was to let him know that her husband had left, and that he could gain admission. On these occasions the little boy was often sent to the next house to play, and the fami- liarities which then took place betwee❑ Tilley and the plaintiff's wife left no doubt that the parties had been guilty of an adulterous intercourse. The result of these inquiries was that the plaintiff ceased to live with his wife, and sent her back to her father. Additional facts were afterwards brought to his knowledge, and he found it necessary to come into that court nominally to recover compensation in damages, but really with the view of freeing himself from a connection which was no longer honourable. A number of witnesses were called, the principal of which were the following :—Eliza Ituffey, domestic ser vant to the plaintiff. I recollect their removing from Edmonton to Tottenham a week before Christmas, 1856. I know Tilly the younger. He lived with his father and mother at Edmonton. My master generally went to business at nine o'clock in the morning, and returned at six in the evening. After he left I have seen Tilley come into the house. At Tottenham he came nearly every day ; generally between ten and eleven in the morning. Before he entered my mistress used to be at the window on the first floor. Tilley then lived next door. I never saw anything take place between them. I have seen him sitting on her knee. This was in the front parlour. I have seen him on her knee very often. His arms were about her waist. I have also seen him kiss her more than once. The bedroom was on the next floor to the parlour. I was often sent out by my mistress to purchase different articles. I recollect being sent out on one oc casion when Tilley was in the house, and on returning in about half an hour I saw Tilley and my mistress coming down stairs. I had been to the butcher's, about a quarter of a mile from the house. The boy, who was then five years old, went with me, and no one was in the house except my mistress and Tilley. There was no sitting-room on the first floor—they were all bedrooms. Upon cross-examination the witness admitted that she bad frequently seen the plaintiff and his wife quar relling, and that he had returned home morn than once quite tipsy. Mrs. Hudswell once struck Mr. Hudswell with the poker. • Hannah Maynard —I have been in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Hudswell. I have seen Tidy often in Mr. Hudswell's room. He used to come as soon as toy master left home—sometimes early in the morning. My age is 15. When Tilley was in the room I was generally sent into an empty house next door to play. I was told to stop about an hour. On one occasion wben I was so sent out I got through a gap in the garden and went into the house. I saw my mistress and Tilley together in the parlour. He had his arms around her waist, and she was sitting on his knee. [The witness here described what she saw in the parlour, which left no doubt that a criminal intercourse had taken place between them.] 1 heard the defendant make some remarks to Mrs. Huds well, about the buttons being off his trowsers, and that he could not get any person to sew them on. Mrs. Hudswell replied if be would take them off she would put them on. On the second Monday after I bad been in the plaintiff's service Tilley came. On that occasion be gave me a shilling, telling me not to say anything about his visits. This witness was subjected to a rigid cross-examina tion, but nothing of importance was elicited. The case for the plaintiff being closed, Mr. Clark addressed the jury fcr the defence. He said he should fully calculate upon a verdict for his client, as he felt from what the two witnesses, Reify and Maynard, bad admitted on cross-examination, that their testimony was utterly unworthy of belief. Lord Campbell summed up, remarking that he thought it was not a case calling for excessive damages. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Da mages 2001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. DESPERATE AFFRAY AMONG FRRNCIIMEN.—M. RO doll* a Frenchman, and also Wm. Marshall were charged before Mr. Beadon with a most violent assault on Theodore Gitalia. Mr. Lewis appeared for the pri soners, and M. Albert attended as interpreter. The complainant stated that on Thursday evening he was passing down Brewer-street, from his residence in Queen-street, where be saw the prisoners, who were in the company of two French females. He was almost immediately assaulted by Marshall, who was assisted by the other prisoner. He protected himself as well as he could, upon which Marshall took out a knife which he opened, observing at the time that he would open his guts. Complainant retreated to a public house, where the prisoner Marshall repeated the assault. He subse quently found his eye cut and was obliged to apply to a surgeon to have it dressed. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the complainant said that he was a portrait painter, and that he formerly cohabited with a female (one of the women who were in thecom pany of the prisoner.) She had left him, and was now under the protection of Marshall. Mr. Lewis remarked that the cmplaioant first coin. witted the assault by striking Marshall on the head with a stick which was loaded. (He produced a sort of revolver, and Marshall showed his head, which had on it two severe blows.) He added that the sticlewas broken by the violence of the blow. A witness for the prisoner confirmed the statement of Mr. Lewis, and said that when Marshall received the blow which was iefitcted by the ccmplainant, who was walking behind him, that he reeled against a shop win dow. The prisoner was discharged. LINES LEASED AT FIXED REN GALS. Paid ♦ LWATS. Leasing Companies Closing Prices this day. IBuckghamsb Jc. Col.Staor Vt. E.Lin. g. 6 p.e lE. WI. H.Sb. Gin - 4.

Intelligence has been ree. - iwyd from India that the mutineers have teen defeated with the loss cf 26 guns out He the walls of Delhi, which was to le assaulted immeiliately. Large numbers of the native troops in Bengal, and the north-wcs tern province; had deserted. General Ansoa died of eh , lera on the Tith SPAIN. The Madras Gazottc of the 6 h denies offi cialy the stateme!A of some of the journals to the effect that a French prince (Prince Lucien Bonaparte is referred to) had had conferences with the Marquis de Turgot and Lord Howd , n, the French and English ministers. The authorising the Government to carry into effect the proposed law on the press had b'ea presented to the Senate, and the senators had immediately as :e•ribt:d in th it bur aux to discuss it. The jour nals contain nothing new about disturbances, but a letter of the a')ove date says-: " General attention is just now fixed on the republi can t ands which have appeared in Andalusia. The mani few ation will he without result. The flag of the factions is evidently socialist. The bands have not visited any 1 °silty without Liaving traces of their vandalism ; every where there have been pilings aid destruction ; they have carried off the money they found in the pub lic (faces and bi , rned down edifices. Their demo cratic and socialist proclamations are, however, so vip lent that they produce a perfectly contrary effect to what they expect. The fac!ion which devasta ted Utrera, in flying before the royal troops, have taken the direction of La Serrania de Ronda, where they must die of hunger, the country offering noresource. In Arragon some demonstrations, but of no gravity, have taken place. Fur some days past rumours that Madrid was menaced with disturbances have been current, and they have gained credit to-day ; the popu lation is consequently disquieted. It is said that the movement will break out oa the conclusion of the bull fights ; the government, however, does not share the feari of the population, and any attempt at insurrec• tion will be promptly and energetically repressed."

MURDER BY A LUNATIC.—(This Day. At an early hour this morning much excitement was caused in the workhouse of the parish of St. Martin's-in the-Fields, in consequence of the wardsinan having been killed by a lunatic named Peen. On inquiry we were informed that Peen was admitted yesterday into the house by order of one of the sitting magistrates at Bow-street Police Court. Ile was placed in the insane ward, under the care of a man named Hempson ; and this morning, having discovered a shovel, Peen, without the slightest cause, struck the unfortunate man to the ground, and continued beating him until life was extinct. He was secured as soon as possible, and surgical aid was secured for Hen3pson, but he bad ceased to exist. Peen was conveyed to Marlborough•street Police-court, and fully committed for trial.

LAMBETH. The committee re-assembled this morning at 11 o'clock. Mr. J.JIII , S applied for a warrant to compel 'the attendance of a witness, named Joseph Tredre, who bad been subpcenad to give evidence before the committee. Evidence was given to show that Tradra was subpcenad to attend and give evidenca on the commit , ee, and that he was informedthat he would hear ft - tither about it. The witness was seen a few days sinew in the company of Gillan, keeper of the Surrey Canal-bridge Tavern, at the Rising S un . He told a person, named Caffie, that be was the pritiepal witness in the case and would not attend un!il he was forced. The witness had not been further informed of the &Ay of the committee meeting, because his residence 'was unknown. Car& was examined, and stated that he did not know where Tredre was to be found. He had know❑ for the List ten days that he would not at tend to give evidence. He had received a letter from Tredre, which he refused to produce unless compelled. He gave the letter, this morning, to a man named Hart, examined before the committee t'lis morning on this point. Th© Chairman told the witness that he must pro duce the letter. \Vitn'•si produced the letter. It w a g merely dated the 10th, from the Manor-house, Walworth, and desired Caffie not to give any information where Ttedro could be found. Caffie swore that he did not know where Tredre was now to be found. The person who served the notices of attendance on the other witnesses deposed that he had been unable to find Tredre. The Committee granted the warrants. Mr. E. Proom, a voter, formerly omnibus proprie tor, but now a gentleman, deposed that he owned various houses in Walworth: He had 45 tenants, ahout 10 of whom were voters. He acted as chair man of Mr. Roupell's committee at the St. Paul's Tavern, Walwoith-common. He received 15s. a day for expenses incurred in cabs, &c., and n'_t for his services. No cabs were hired by, Mr. Roupell's committee for their use previous to the day of election. Sometimes his expenses exceeded 20s. a day. He made no arrangements with any one for payment. _ _ (The pay-sheet of the 20th March, for St. Paul's Tavern, was handed in. It contained an entry Edward Proom, " canvasser," written over the word "chairman," partly obliterated.) Witness said he saw the pay-sheet before it was sent to the central committee, at the Horns, Ken nington, but he was unable to say if it was in the same state as now. To the best of his belief it was. The three other pay-sheets produced relative to the expenses of St. Paul's committee-room appear ed to have been similarly altered. He was unable to say where the alterations took place. The pay sheets were made out iu the handwriting of Lloyd, a clerk at this committee-room, but the word "can vasser" was nut in his handwriting. He received 151. 2s. on the 20th of March, 331.125. on the 27th, and 201. 13s. 6d. on the 31st to pay the expenses of his committee. He was paid by Mr. Trewman at the Horns Tavern. He did not know if Mr. Trewman was foreman to Mr. Roupell. witness was examined relative to the payment by him of voters as canvassers for his district on the days named in the sheet at the rate of 10s. and 7s. 6d. per day. These persons were also on the com mittee. He received for the expenses of the com mittee 691. 7s. His employment was to look after the canvassers and see that they did their duty. He did not canvas his fenants, nor did he give par ticular instructions to others to do so. The com mittee over which Ire presided were composed principally of Mr. Williams's friends, but no pay sheet or charges were sent into that gentleman's agent ; they were sent to Mr. Roupell's committeee at the Horns' Tavern, where they were examined, and ordered for payment. Mr. Hurse, one of the paid committee-men, was a man of property ; he was a friend of Mr. Wil liams's, and on the the polling-day he voted for Mr. Roupell and Mr. Williams ; the central com . mitts gave him power to incur expenses to the amount of 301. or 401., and he arranged for the pay ment of the committee-men as canvassers on bis own account ; there was an item in the last sheet of 21. for cab hire, cRIc , which he had soma diffi culty in obtaining payment from Mr. Trewman. Cross-examined by Mr. Slade—The items were checked to prevent imposition. The 2/. referred to in the last pay sheet was for cab hire and incidental expenses during the whole of the election. Mr. Trewman employed him and agreed on the rate of payment. He did not employ one person more than was necessary to do the work. He told Mr. Frewman what he had done and he approved of it. Copies of the Bribery Act, and clauses of the Corrupt Practices Act were on the table of the Committee-room, and he cautioned the can vassers and committee against doing anything illegal ; he received a circular calling atten tion to the bribery and corrupt practices acts (laughter) ; the committeemen took notice and made a record of how every voter in the district intended to vote, whether for Roupell, Williams, or Wilkinson ; he thought the canvassers were un der paid for their services at 10s, fid. and 7s. 6d. per day. Mr. Slade—The expenditure for shoe leather would have amounted to half tke money. (Laughter.) Witness continued—Mr. Trewman informed bim that the central committee did not recognise a paid chairman of committee, but they did of canvassers. He did not know when the alteration was made in the pay-sheet. He did not consider he was paid for his services. The money be received did not influence his voting. In fact, he was out of pocket by the election, but he did not mind that, because he considered Mr. Roupell a fit and proper person to represent the borough. By Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—He believed he formed the committee for St. Paul's district ; when the first pay sheet went in Mr. Trewman told him he was to be superintendent of canvassers: he was unable to say how it was the subsequent pay sheets went in describing him as chairman. He studied the bribery, &c., acts, and carried it out to the very letter. By Major Wortley—He fixed the sums of 10s. and 7s. per day, as,the sum likely to be legitimately expended each day by them in the prosecution of the canvass. The remainder of the sitting was occupied in hearing evidence of a similar character to the above. _ _ The evidence of Mr. George Seaman, chairman of the committee at the Kentish Drovers, was re jected in consequence of his having transgressed the standing rules of committees, that witnesses shall not be present during the examination of others.

INQUEST ON A YOUNG LADY BURNT TO DEATH.— Yestaday afternoon an inquest was held on the body of Phcebe Sarah Lan ford, aged 15, daughter of Mr. Law• ford, postmaster at the House of Commons. Mrs. Lawford stated that on Saturday morning last she was waked by screams from her daughter's bedroom, and on going there found the deceased standing in the middle of the room with her night-dress on fire. Mrs. Lawford tore the dress off, but not before the poor girl had re ceived injuries which shortly afterwards resulted in death. A. sister of the deceased, whe slept with her, stated that when she went to sleep she left the deceased reading at a table in the room, and was waked about half-past one in the morning by her sister's raising her self found in bed with her night-dress on fire. A candle stick , lr mattress the candle burnt down to the soc ket, was near the bed, and it is supposed tha t the attress caught fire, and ignited the deceased's drem Verdict, " Accidental death.", LITERATURE. Egypt, and the Great Suez Canal. A narrative of Travels, bjeJ. Barthelemy Saint-Hilaire, Mem ter of the Institute Acadernie des SCiences, Morales, and Politiques. Bentley. This is a most interesting and important work, and one which will doubtless be welcomed and ap preciated by many. It bears reference to a subject which bas engaged public attention, and it is furthermore rendered attractive by information re lating to a land so worthy of regard as that of Egypt. Perhaps the most pleasing letters are those on the Nile, the Pyramids, andThelms. The Nile alone, among all the rivers in the world, has a periodical rising, that has never bsen interrupted for four thousand years. Besides this .advan'age, it never devastates its shores, and the waters in rising leave behind a mud which fertilises. It is observed, as an extraordinary fact, that although "nature could not bestow upon man a gr?ater blessing than the Nile, the population of Egypt has at all periods ban degraded and unfortunate." The writer explains this anomaly by the circum et ince that !he people depend Lr subsistence upon the management of the river, which care they .always leave to their rulers, and thus instead of an advantage, politically comidered, the Nile may have produced quite the contrary effect. It is said the water is so exquisite to the taste that it is not to be wondered at that the princesses of the family of the Ptolemies had it brought to them in Syria. The soil of the valley of the Nile rises nearly five inches a century, and it was feare I byHe rodotus two thousand years ago that from this con stant rising Egypt would be reuderd a complete marsh. It is unsatisfactory to the lovers of pro gress to be toll that nearly as much was known in the days of Herodotus, as at present of the source of the Nile. The addition consists in having 'as certa;ned that there are two rivers which unite to form it at a certain point. In discussing the Py ramids, the author truly observes, that they are not only a glary to the people who raised them, but they form part of the history of art, and to pass them by would be to efface a page, from the annals of the human mind. The Great Pyramid was faced with polished stones, the smallest of which was thirty feet in length, this statement was made by Herodotus, but all traces have disap peared, therefore it is urged that no one can now form a true idea of what the Pyramids once were before ruthless destroyers bad profaned " their smooth surface glittering in the sun which shone down upon them from a cloudless sky." Another suggestion is made worthy of regard, namely, the advance that must have been made in architecture .before their con• struction, thus referring the dawn of Egyptian civilisation to a period which baffles all calculation, "in what age of the world's history must we ima gine that men began to hew stones and to erect edifices, for such perfection to be attained two thousand years before the Christian era ?" The greatest admiration is expressed for Thebes. A thou sand years before the Christian era, its fame had crossed the seas, and the author observes, judging from the ruins now extant—" Thebes was very far from receiving her full meed of glory." It is said that Egyptian architecture is characterised by solidity, which is evidenced by the fact, that almost every structure is perfect, except where violence has assailed it. Were it not for the spoilers, Thebes would be nearly the same city to behold as when Joseph was Minister to Pharaoh. It is in'e resting to peruse the account given of the camel. After describing its various uses, its peculiarities, itc., the writer goes on to state that some travellers amusethemselves by ridiculing this valuable animal, which has been truly called the treasure of the East, and that the best refutation of their absurdi ties, is the thought that " God who created it formed it for the desert." In the first chapter there is a detailed account given of the Isthmus of Suez, and the great enterprise concerning it is thus de scribed : " The project in question consists in opening a sea canal from Suez to Pelusium, that is to say, from the Red Sea in a direct line to the Meditteranean, affording a passage to ships of the largest size and burden, from 250 to 300 feet wide and twenty-five to thirty feet deep. The project is entirely novel, and could neither have been conceived nor carried into execution in any previous age. With a view to facilitate the enterprise, a rrant was made by his Highness Mohammed Said, Viceroy of Egypt. to M. Ferdinand de Leeseps, dated November, 30th, 1854. " The idea of connecting the two seas bas indeed been mooted at various periods, but never otherwise than by a freshwater canal, supplied by the waters of the Nile, and terminating. by a more or less complicated course, at Alexandria and at Suez. The present project is to supply the canal from the sea, without any opening to the Nile, and simply to establish as abort a communica tion as possible between the two roadsteads which con tinue along this Isthmus for twenty-nine leagues north and south. It does not - cross Egypt, but merely follows the boundary which separates Africa from Asia, travers ing the Desert, without at all encroaching on the inte rior of the fine country which it will so essentially benefit, by opening along its frontier a perpetual stream of civilisation. This feature of the intended canal dis tinguishes it from all previous projects, none having been hitherto framed upon the same idea, as history shows." The International Commission forwarded a meat successful report of their expedition to the Viceroy : "They declared plainly and openly 'that the direct canal from Suez to Pelusium offers the only solution to the problem in question, and that there is no other prac ticable means of connecting the Red Sea and the Medi terranean ; that the execution of this sea-canal is emy, and its success unquestionable ; that the two ports to be formed, at Suez and Pelusium, present only ordinary difficulties ; the one at Suez opening into a wide and secure roadstead, accessible at all times, and with twenty-six feet of water and one mile of beach,—and the port at Pelusium being situated between the mouths of odm Fareg and Oum Glidmi'6, with twenty-six feet of water and nearly a mile and a half of beach, and having an excellent anchorage, with all facilities fur getting under sail.' Lastly, the Commission added, that the total cost of the canal would not exceed the two hund red million francs calculated in the original estimates." 1 1 It is remarked that the " interests of humanity, I not less than those of commerce, conspire to render the opening of the Isthmus of Suez one of the most useful and honourable enterprises of the nineteenth century ;" and it seems a glorious thought that the triumphs of modern science should be rea'ised in a country that possesses the trophies of ancient art.

Last night the performances of the "Bouffes Parisiennes," were for the benefit of Mr. Mitchell. The pieces represented on the occasion were Offen b Ach' s operette -mil Haire, " Dragonetta :" Adolph Adam's operette bouffe, " Les Pantins de Vio let. a ;" and Offenbach's opera-bouffe, " Croquefer ; ou, Le Dernier des Paladins." After the first piece Madame Ugalde sang the scena and aria from Am broise Thomas's comic opera "Le Caid" with the most brilliant effect, the audience unanimously joining in an encore. The fair artist, however, could not comply, having to sing before her Ma jesty at Buckingham Pala , :e. A perfect crowd of illustrious and fashionable personages assembled on the occasion, testifying b y their presence their high approbation of the inde fatigable efforts of the beneficiaire to conduce to the entertainment of his aristocratic patrons. Mr. Mitchell has never more signally exemplified his managerial skill than in the engagement of this admirable French company, whose performances have been London o a ndo mo i n i g se tl a i s e on. most Isttriikeing much eventsto b of e the present London season. It is much to be re .ed that pre-existing engagements necessitate the departure of the Bouffes next week to the Continent. Their final performance will be given on Tuesday evening.
