MON 1 2 DI A T AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCL'7, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with a flat appearance, and prices were fully id. per lb. lower on all descriptions. The sales were estimated at 2,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, at a slight decline in value. An advance of 4 per Cent. has been made by the East India Company in their terms for bills drawn on on the three Presidencies ; they are now 2s. 2d. per rupee on Bengal and Madras, and 2s. 21d. on Bombay. This alteration has been effectei on account of the recent advance in the Bank's mini mum. Its effect will not ba very important, the amount of bills drawn on India being now very limited. Almost all of the gold brought from Australia by the Heather Bell has been taken for the Continent, but it is satisfactory to perceive that the drain to the United States has been checked. During the last few days a very small portion has been pre pared for shipment, and the Arago only took out about 400,0001., while the remittances by the City of Baltimore has been under 10,0001. About 14,0001. in gold has been brought from Australia by the Phcenican. At present the silver market is dull, but arrangements have already been com menced for the transmission of supplies by the steamer on the 4th proximo. The directors of the Bank of England, after a brief sitting, have separated without making any further alteration with regard to their monetary regulations. This result of their deliberation was fully anticipated, and now that the expectation has been realised, there will probably be a much more confident feeling. Temporarily, at least, the re strictions already imposed have proved successful, and not only has the demand for money slack ened, but the shipments to the United States have been retarded. American bills are dis counted with great difficulty, and the obstacles which are thus thrown in the way of remit ters of specie render them unable to fulfil the orders which they have received from the United States. If this state of things can only be preserved until the turning-point in the American crisis is attained, the inconvenience now felt among the trading community will be merely temporary. Some unfavourable rumours have recently been circulated with regard to the probability of the Bank limiting their transa3tions to bills of 30 days, whilst other innovations have also been spoken of as impending. These, however, have been the offspring of a fervid imagination of those who take an extreme view of financial matters, and although they secured a little attention at the time, they failed to produce any lasting impression. The Funds are firm, and the manufacturing and commercial community seem to have prepared themselves for the emergency, and thus difficulties are compara tively light when the extent of the pressure and the obstacles that have to be encountered are taken into consideration. In Lombard-street, and at the Bank of England, the applications for discount are reported to have been limited ; and although full rates are demanded, there is a larger supply of capital than will satisfy all the immediate require ments of trade. There has been very little variation in the mar ket for English Securities to-day ; but since the Bank "parlour" meeting adjourned the quota tions hare become firmer. Speculation, however, is very dull, and the purchases of the public are also limited. The unfavourable state of the weather is a hindrance to business, but the operators i are principally waiting to see whether the shipments of specie to America are still restricted. Consols have been 88H, and 88 , ?,/ for money ; while for account they have been 8881, and 88Th. They are now firm at their best point. The New Three per Cents. are 88g. to 88, and the Reduced 87111. Exchequer Bills are heavy at 14s, to 12s. dis., and the Bonds are 97i 4. Bank Stock is 212, and India Stock 210. The Bonds are still very depressed, viz., 355. discount. Foreign Stocks are dull, but in most instances prices are supported. Turkish 6 pe r C en t s , h ave been dealt in at 87 a , and the present price is 8;1 /. Some of the other securities have been dealt in as follows :—Brazilian 5 per Cents. 99k g ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. 81 ; Mexican 3 per Cents. 19i ; Russian Small Bonds, 96 ; Spanish New De ferred, 25ii. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi can, 19 19i ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 75 77'; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 44 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 105 107 ; ditto 4i s per Cents., 95 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 401 41 ; ditto Deferred, 2511 ; ditto Certificates, 5i 6 ; ditto Passive, Si 6.

Great Western, North-Western, Midland, North-Eastern (Berwick), North-Eastern (York), Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, and South-Eastern, declined 10s. ; Great Northern, Lancaster and Carlisle, Lancashire and York shire, and South - Western, ii. ; East Anglians improved about ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines were inactive, and exhi bited little changes from previous quotations. Northern of Franc©, Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Western of Canada, and East Indian, were a shade lo wer. Mining Shares were almost neglected. Alfred Colas°ls were at 131, 13i. Joint Stock Bank Shares are quiet. City Bank, Ottoman Bank, and Provincial of Ireland, realised yesterday's rates. In the Miscellaneous Market, North of Europe Steam improved to 5, and Peninsular and Oriental Steam to 73. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE &CLOCK. (from the Official List.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCZ. (lhfore Mr. Comenis%ionor Fano.) IN RS THZ WELSH POTOSI MINING COMPANY EXPARTIII STA.NSFIELD AND ANOTHER. IMPORTANT QUESTION. —Mr. Cb.itiley renewed an ap plication made on Saturday last, that the names of Messrs. John and Ashton Stansfield should be struck out of the list of clntributories in the above company, on the ground that they had been induced to join by false representations. He founded his application on the de cision of the Vice-Chancellor K;ndersley, in Brockwell's case, In Re the Royal British Bank, &c., in which case the name was expunged. His Honour ex3ressed a strong opinion that in the case of a company, as in the case of a simple partnership, that the shareholders were liabla to creditors, although when the list of contribu tories were to be settled as between themselves, any one might object, on the ground of fraud. So, in a part nership, if E held himself out to the world as a partner, he was liable to persons who had given the firm credit, although A, B, C, and D, his partners, had induced him to j Au them by fraud; for he alone might be a man of enormous wealth, and credit given on the k iowledge of that fact. Mr. Chidley now produced the Law Journal, &c., of August last, in which Brock well's case was reported. Hie Tionour read it with great attention, but said ho did not consider it referred specifically to the case, as he put it, as to the liability to ereditorg. Mr. Coidley urged that in a cita like the present, where the parties had been trapped into j 'fining the nampsny, something ought to bo shown that they had taken some active part, or permitted themselves to be held out as liable. Hi 4 Honour said that, after the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, he could but hear the arguments dit.cussed ; but as the matter was not pressing, he would appoint the 7th January for that purpose, the parties not being called on as cJaribatories in the meantimo. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Day.) WEiTALINTSTE CHARGE OF STEALING BRICKS THE PROPERTY OF THE BOARD OF WORKS OF THE WESTMINSTER DIS• TRICT,—Wm. Grit:2Bton° described av a labourer, was charged before Mr. Paynter with having stolen, in the company of another, not in custody, en the 21st from the Green-yard, Eforseferry -road, St. John's West minster, a cart load of bricks, the property of the Board of Works of the `Westminster District. Mr. Rogers, clerk to the board, attended on their behalf. John M. Wood, inspector of nuisances of the district, said that on the 20th ult. about 2,000 bricks were lodged in the Green-yard, On the 21st, in c.mseq uenc e of some information from Mr. Crowe, another inspector, he went in search of the prisoner, who is carman to Mr. Watt, Vaux.hall-bridge-road, when he learned from bias that ho had been directed to fetch some bricks from the Green-yard to take them to the tne in bricks the ad joining Wand swor th-road. Witness fou n d them at a build ing which is being carried on. H e heard that Watt directed him to go to the Gre en - yard the firstthing in the morning to take away th e b r i cks. When he n a ( d p r ilien r Wandsworth the building which is being raised by a person 'min e d Austin. Wandsworth road (prisoner) received reached orders to s h Crown shoot Witness saw Austin, who stated to him th at t h e man ought to have gone to Bonner's-yard instead of the Gre-m-yard.

Feeling somewhat fatigued she called to the risoner who «as standing in a doorway in the East India-road to carry the bag for her. He consented to do and upon reaching within three or four doors of her destination she put down the bandbox and gave the boy 23. He then asked her bow mud, farther she had to carry the bag, and Mrs. Hyde pointed to the house, and said "We are close to the place." Directly afterwards the boy disappeared from Ler side, and upon looking round she saw him passing into Dal gleis4.street, on the north side of the road. She was unable to pursue him, and remained on th e spot until she met with a police-constable named John Chadwick, No. 350 K, to whom she mentioned her loss. Chad wick immediately recAleated that he had met two, one of whom was carrying a carpet bag, and walking behind two gentlemen in the Commercial-road, as he was turning out of Arbour-terrace, after leaving this court. Chadwick immediately retraced his steps, jumped into a butcher's cart, and requested the driver to proceed to London aq quickly aq possible. The butcher drove at a tremendous pact, and the policeman fortu n'' near Whitechapel Church, jumpedup ou t of wit's the b o the ecart and u .. secured the boy with the carpet bag and all its valuabe contents in his possession.

A WORD OP TRTJTB FOB US: • (From Punch.) " To Mr. Punch, was pirfectlY digested the other day by a letter in the Tines signed by,' Eleanor'.... but I do not believe a woman ever wrote a word of it—. attributing to women extravagance in matters of dress, and calling upon us to spend less on our clothes—in fact, to go without new things this autumn altogether—ai d give the money to the fund for the relief of the India.; sufferers. "The letter was printed in large lettere wed I dar_ say the editor chuckled very much over it, and thought it a fine thing to get a letter, signed with a wornan'e name—as he would say in his slang mannish style— ' pitching into' women. Bat, I repeat, I don't believ e it was written by a woman, not a wend of it. I have no doubt it came from some mean-spirited wretch who is always grumbling at his poor wife's milliner'sear e l dressmaker's bill, for the few things she absolutely cannot get on , without —one, perhaps, who 'grudges her even her wretched allowance, and shuffles about every petty 121. 103. cheque as the quarter-day corns. round—for lam certain he does not allow her more than 501. a-year. Relieving the Indian sufferers is all very well, but suppose, instead of calling upon women to give up their little indulgences in the way of dress —tin sure it's much more for the men that we dregs than for ourselves, whether married or single —the men were to give up some of their expensive, bad, low habits—tl-eir cigars, for example, or their curious and particular wines, or their little dinners at the club, or their share of a drag to the Derby, or any other, of the thousand and one expensive pleasures in which they are in the habit of indulging apart from their wives. " Talk of our extravagance, indeed ! People make mighty fuss about the milliner's bills of a certain bank rupt's wife. Well, and if she was a well-dressed woman —I suppose it was her milliner's bills that ruined her husband ! I should like to kno w how people—even men —dare attribute this man's having got through 250,0001. to his wife's extravagance, when it was proved ire court that even her milliner's bills didn't exceed 3,0001. But that is always the way with men. They think nothing of the money they fling 'away in selfish, and too often degrading pleasures ; but let a poor -wife express a wish ; for a new bonnet, or a dress fit to be pen in, and it i 3 at once grunts, and sulks, and talk about women's' extra vagance " And then, as if it wasn't enough to have the men talking such stuff, out must come this ridiculous • Eleauce in the Times, for all the men to cast up to u;, and say, 'L oo k, there's one‘of your own sex at you, at That was eiactly w h a t m y h us b an d said. How ever, as /said, I don't believe ' Eleanor' is a woman at all. I believe it's that Mr. Jacob Omnium, who, I under stand, writes the greater part of the Times under various aliases. "I maintain that, instead of spending too much of our husband's money, our allowances, as a rule, whether for housekeeping or for dress, are far too shabby. We are kept perpetually on the fret t) make both ends meet. I'm sure the struggle I have with my'tradesmen'e books every week nobody would believe 1 Of course, it's very easy for men to laugh, and say its because we don't understand arithmetic. I only wish they under stood ready-money dealing, and not getting into debt, as well as we understand compound addition, substrac tion, multiplication, and division. - . " I belie7ve if Eleanor' really wants to give advice that will end in saving, she ought to advise nll the married men to give their6eque-books and their bankers'. books to their wives, and bring them their money, and let them keep it, and pay it is, and draw it out—in short, to make the women paymasters and cashiers, and the husbands to receive quarterly allowances for pocket money from their wives, instead of paying their poor wives miserably insufficient allowances for dress, as is their usual practice. "I have no doubt the saving in incomes that would thus be produced would not only leave a handsome con tribution to the Indian Relief Fund at the end of the first year, but would, in a very short time, pay off the national debt, if it could be appropriat,:d to that pur pose, particularly if the wife had, in every case, the option of determining what allowance she would make her husband for pooket-money and clothes. I was very glad indeed to find even from a man an admission of our essentially economical nature and habits. To be sure, it was from an American—the inhabitant of a country where there hai been some slight progress made to• wards recognition of the rights of our sex. I trust, Mr. Punch, maa as you are, that you wilt not be mean enough to throw this letter into your waste-paper bas ket, or refuPe to print—l should prefer capital letters— this passage to whioh I refer, from this enlightened American writer : " 'A Word for Womeo,—Some of the papers are lecturing woman upon an extravagance_ in dress, and advi,ing them to retrench, especially during the present financial difficulty. Doubtless there are many cases of unwarrantable extravagance in this way ; but do people ever col:eider tbat two or three glasses of brandy and hal'-a-dozen regalias, nalulged in daily by a man, to say nothirg o' five and ten dollar dinners, amount to more in a year than would be required to dress a woman 141:0 to the full requirements of fashion ? Much of this talk about the txtravagance of women is nonsense. They are almo t univEr alty careful, and many a trader would to day have been sate and sound if he had listened to the prudent counsels of his wife rather than the reclde3s promptings of his own ambition. It is natural for mean men to endeavour to shift the responsibility of their folly to other shoulders, but it is rather too much to charge a commercial revulsion like this upon one's wife and daughters.'—Ne w York Paper. "For my part, I think tho passego ought to be printed in letters of gold and hung up over every double-bed in England, between the watch-pockets.— I am, Mr. Punch, your constant reader, " A VICTIM," ST. PAUL'S WESTMINSTICE-ROAR.—With the intention of affording better church accommodation to the densely populated neigh bourbon(' of the Waterloo and %Vast rninster roads, inhabited as the district is by persons of the humblest class, it was detsrinin4lll some months since to e:eet a new church. The building, which is rapidly approaching completion, and which is ictenilt d to accommodate 1,200, stands in a very cnnmanding po sition nearly facing the Waterloo -road. BURSTING OF THE RIVINGTON WATER PIPES.—C,m siderable alarm was created among the people residing is the neighbourhood of the valley lying between Cow ley-hill and Denton's-green on Friday night last, by the sudden bursting of oue of the huge Rivington enter pipes, by which Liverpool is supplied. All the email brooks, ponds, and ditches in the neighbourhood were soon overflowing, and in two hours there was an exten sive river of about 200 yards wide, covering potato, Ins tore, and stubble land, and reaching past Denton's green-lane to the brook, upwards of half a mile. Mr. clarke, of St. Helen's, at once proce,eded to the hydrant at Moss-bank, and there stopped the progress of the water ; but for some tim e a ft er i t cont i nued to rush out, as the breach was made near the centre of the valley some two or throe miles long, and it did not subside un til Saturday evening. Some idea of the force may be imagined when it is known that the pipe burst under neath, and the water threw up the earth, sand and soil, and carried it away, leaving a bole of 11 feet 6 inch°, deep, and 48 feet by 9 inches wide.—Wolverhamptom Chronicle. BALLOON OBSERVATIONS IN WAR.—In the early pal t of the mars of the French Revolution. a special depart ment of the Ecole Polytechnique trained officers it, the principles of the management of balloons. The battle of Fleurua, gained in 1794 by General Fleurus over the Anetriane, has been ascribed principally to the accu rate information conveyed by a balloon observatory. The aeronauts, at the head of whom was the cele brated Guyton Morveau, mounted twice in the course of the day, took deliberate observations, and made them known by pre -arranged telegraphic sign'. When ascending the second time they were discovered, and cannon brought to bear against the balloon ; it - effectually, however, for the latter soon asoinded out of range of the shot. Balloon observers also accompanied the army of Napoleon in the Egyptian expedition, but were subsequently laid aside. There are no practical impediments to the employment of balloons in this manner. A balloon of 30 feet in diameter is amp'e when pure hydrogen is used to inflate it, as would be always the case on the field of battle. Hydrogen - for this purpose was generated by the French by transmitting the stream of water through red hot iron pipes. The ap paratus was p mtable, like a cavalry shoeing forge, and could inflate a balloon 30 feet in diameter in about two hours. • STATISTICS OF ALGERIA.—It appears from (English) official returns that in 1855 the number of " civil Eu ropeans," or rather European civilians, in the French province of Algeria amounted to 155,607 (to which number it had risen from 112,748 in 1849), and that there were 143,387 Europeans resident there in 1854, of whom 79,577 were French, 6,279 Anglo-Maltese, 39,339 Sp-tni ar d s , 8,138 Italians, 5,887 Germans, 1,919 Swiss, and 2,251 not spec fled. The French Algerian army in 1853 (the last year given) numbered 70,496 men, and in 1849 it numbered 75,000. It appears ' that the native population of the colony in the dig. tricts under military government amounted in 1854 to 2,056,298 souls—viz., 625,296 men, 630,800 women, and 800,202 children. In the districts '‘‘ occupied by Europeans there were in 1854 143,387 Europeans (se already shown), and 105,865 natives, thus making a total of 249,252 soulr. The total amountof Customs and navigaticn dues received in Algeria in 1854 was 2,552,7691,, or 102,1111.—viz., 1,937,647 f. from import dues, 329 f. from export dues, 217,896 f. from " other Customs' receipts," and 366,896 f. from na , igation dues.

Shortly after 11 o'clock last night Sup er i n t en d ent Durkin, accompanied by Inspector Mackenzie and a number of the Thames police, repaired to Wat:en_ 100-bridge for the purpose of making experimen with a'bag similar to that in which the remains t.f the murdered man • were found. The tide was r.t . the same height as on the night of the murder. The carpet-bag used, which weighed exactly 301 b. (th e precise weight of the bag containing the remains) was lifted on the parapet and from thence swung over the second parapet, The first parapet is nearly two feet wide, and the second about two feet It will be seen, therefore, that any person standing on the atone seat of the recess, and holding the bag at arm's length, so as to clear both parap#4, must have been possessed not only of considerable physical power, but of a - steady hand, and more than ordinary nerve. The place from which tie bag, was lowered was as nearly as possible the centre of the recess. As soon as the bag cleared the second parapet, 20 yards of rope were payed out as fast af possible, and after the lapse of a few seconds the bag was found to rest firmly upon the buttress. The experiment was tried a second time wit't similar results. The police are satisfied, from this experiment, that the bag could not have been deposited on t! , e buttress by any perscn in a boat on the river be neath, as the tide runs so strong past the buttress that no boat could have loeen brought up so as t lodge a burden on it. [Perhaps the police will be able to tell us how it was taken from it ?] The strength required for lowering the bag, so as to clear the parapet of the bridge, would war rant the assumption that the woman was assisted by some person who met her in the recess, and de camped the moment the bag was lowered. The Weather last night was wet and stormy, and the re hearsal of the final act of the tragedy caused no little interest among a number of pers.ons who collected. on the bridge, and peered down at the police galley as it floated on the dark tide beneath the fatal spot. • _ CHARGE OF CBILD MURDER. A great deal of-excitement has been created in the neighbourhood of Handeross, in consequence of the arrest of Mr. William Barncroft Young, a far mer, who has lately taken Newstead Farm, on. Shelly-plain, adjoining Carter's Lodge, and bia wife's sister, Elizabeth Salvage, who acted as ser vant, on suspicion of destroying the illegitimate child of the latter, and co ncealin g its bit that Barrow, in Lincolnshire. It appears that Young, who is said to be in possession of considerable property, occupied up to about a month since, a farm at Bar row, which he left in a mysterious manner, having disposed of his property ; and suspicion athiug among the neighbours, who had noticed the altered appearance of the female prisoner a short time previous, Mr. Saperintendpt Holman, of the Lincolnshire constabulary, visited the premises, and finding that the soil of an old garden or or chard had been di s t ur b e d, h e exam i ne d the spot, and found at the depth of seven feet the body of a child recently dead. A warrant for the appre hension of the prisoners being issued, Mr. W. Hol man succeeded in tracing them into Sussex, and after a vast deal of trouble, discovered their where lbouts on Sunday week. He called on P. C. Hol den, E.S.C., stationed at Crawley, and directed him to be ready at four o'clock the next morning, when they started with two others in a horse and cart for Newstead, and apprehended the prisoners. It seems that Young was well provided for defence, as a six barrel revolver was found lying on a table in his room, but before he had time to use it the police secured the weapon, which was loaded and capped. The male prisoner's wife expreesed a wish to go with them, which the superintendent allowed her to do on condition that she paid her expenses. Young admitted that be had dug a hole is the gar den for the purpose of finding gravel ; but denied any knowledge of the child being buried there. It seems that shortly before he left it 'was observed thAt the hole had been filled up, and both the pri soners were seen as early as four o'clock in the morning of the same day in the orchard. They were taken away by train for Burton-on-Humber, Lincolnhire, on Monday morning, to ustderga an examination before the Lincolnshire magistrates. Brighton Guardian. . ACCIDENT ON THE STOUR PALMY RAILWAY. On Tuesday evening a collision occurred on the Stour Valley Railway, between Dudley Port and Albion stations, which, though not producing fatal consequences, was the cause of severe bruises to several persons. It appears that when the five pan. train from Birmingham, propelled by two engines, was approaching Dudley Port, some men were engaged at a crossing near the latter station in shunting a ballast train on to a siding. The evening being, very foggy, the engineer of the pilot engine was unable to E•ee the signals hoisted to pre vent a collision, and the consequence was that the passenger and ballast trains came into contact. The shock thus produced was severe, and several of the passengers were cut and bruised, whilst others were shaken. The stoker of one of the engines to the pas:- senger train sustained a dislocation of one of his elbows, and a wedding party, who were travelling in a compartment of afirst-class carriage, partly corn posed of glass, suffered lacerations on the face by the breaking of the glass of a coupe on their being forced against it. The pilot engine was damaged to some extent, but little injury in addition to this was caused to railway property. The passen ger train which was due in Wolverhampton at about half-past five, was delayed for the space of about two hours ; it did not reach this town until forty minutes past seven. Information of the accident was promptly conveyed by telegraph to the High Level station, from whence an engine was speedily despatched, conveying Mr. Dunn, Dr. Fraser, and Mr. Dehane, jun., to afford what aid was nceessary p for the injured persons. Mr. Haines, surgeon, of Dudley Port, was also in at tendance. Fortunately all the sufferers, with the 'exception of a few persons, were able to proceed on their journey. Those who were delayed were taken to Mr. Hanc;ck's inn, at Dudley Port. The following is a list of the casualties :—Captain Benjamin Mosher, an American captain, lacerated wound over right eye and nose ; Mr. Downes, corn. factor, Newcastle, contusions, and bruise on fore head • Thomas Coner, servant ' man to Mr. Murray, near Manchester, bruised Lack • MIS. Cooksey, sister to Dr. Cooksey, Isle of Man, contusions ; Mr. Keeling, contused head ; Joyce, the stoker, fractured and dislocated elbow ; Mathews, engine driver, contused spine and other injuries ; a man of colour had his lip cut through, and several other parties receivedslight contusions.--4Volverhamptom Chronicle. CHARGE OF ADULTERY. A young and rather handsome woman namei Raux, was oa Wednesday placed at the bar of-the Tribunal of the Correctional of Police to an swer _ _ the charge of adultery, and a man named Berger was tried as her arcomplice. The woman's hus band having stepped forward to give evidence, she folded her arms and turned towards him with a. look of mingled insolence and contempt. Raux stated that his wif, after having. for a long time led him a wretched life, some time ago went off with the male prisoner. " That's a lie ! You drove me from your house !" sail the woman. "Shortly after," continued the husband, " the ,commissary of polic3 accompanieri me to the lodgings of the woman and her accomplice, and we obtained positive proaf of their guilt. I reproached her for her shameful conduct, and she threw several things at my head !" The woman shrugged her shoulders with. con t em pt. " The manner in which you ac t , " said the President to her, "is not becoming 1" (c don't think so 1" "But I do !

Th e woman, on hearing the con• demnation, turned to h er husband, and eyed him scornfully from head to foot ; after which she left the bar laughing.
