COMMERCIAt and MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE Public Funds have been subject to fluctuations during the week, but owing to the causes which have operated being of a totally opposite character, the actual change in value has not been very great. On Tuesday the intelligence from the seat of war of the fall of Sebastopol, by the evacuation of the Russian army, led to an immediate rise, of which many availed themselves the next day to realise ; and as there were also large sales of Stock, said to have been by the Bank of England, with the view of avoiding the necessity of raising the rate of discount, the Funds declined, and as on Thursday the Bank directors decided on an advance from 4 to 41- per cent., the decline was per manent. On Friday the returns of the Bank of England showed another decrease in the stock of bullion to the extent £721,742, owing partly to de mands for export, accompanied also by small receipts. We have, however, made some observations on this subject in a leading article. Money for commercial purposes has been more in demand, and bankers have raised the rate of interest for deposits on call from 3-1- to 33 per cent. The foreign exchanges have, however, improved, and recent receipts of specie will no doubt put a check to the decline. With reference to the alteration in the Bank rate of discount, the Times, in its money article, says :--- The Gazette returns of the last and present week will doubtless exhibit diminutions in the amount of notes unem ployed and in the stock of bullion calculated to excite anxiety, but for the knowledge now afforded previously to their appear ance that a vigorous check has been applied. Little question seems to be entertained that the instalment of £1,000,000 sterling paid yesterday (Thursday) on the Turkish loan will forthwith be sent in sovereigns to Constantinople, and that during the next five months the remaining £3,000,000 will be despatched in a similar manner. The Australian arrivals, moreover, are still delayed, only £176,000 having been received out of £BOO,OOO that may be considered due ; and, finally, the extraordinary firmness of the corn market in the face of a satisfactory harvest at home, and of an unusual surplus in the United States and Canada, has disappointed all expectations, and led to the transmission of large orders, accompanied by specie, to the Danube and elsewhere. Under these circum stances the Bank had no alternative in deciding upon a fur ther and immediate rise, especially as there was not the remotest prospect of its suddenness causing panic or even inconvenience in any quarter. Although commerce has lately assumed increased activity, there are no signs of undue specu lation either in the manufacturing towns or on the London Stock Exchange, and the news of the fall of Sebastopol has imparted a feeling of confidence, the effect of which will be much more powerful in sustaining trade than that of the present notification in depressing it. There is, consequently, no reason to depart from the conviction that everything will go on smoothly, and that, even if further measures should be requisite, they will not produce any disturbance. Some persons are disposed to believe that a return to 5 per cent. will be adopted before the close of the year, but the drain of specie just witnessed has been so sudden, and has so evidently resulted from a combina tion of unusual causes, that it will be against all experience if an early reaction is not witnessed. The Bank of England rate for advances on Government securities during the shutting of the transfer bpoks has been raised simultaneously with the rate of discount, and will now be 4 instead of 31 per cent. The discount houses to-day were unprepared for the step taken by the bank, and resolved to delay till to-morrow their decision regarding their future rate of allowance for money at call. The joint-stock banks advanced their rate for fixed de posits, and the London and Westminster, the London Joint stock, and the Union now allow 31 per cent." The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the Bth of September gives the following results, when compared with the previous week : Public Deposits ... £7,591,337 ; Increase ... £323,368 Other Deposits ... 10,979,353 ; Decrease... 127,665 Rest ... ... 3,637,340; Increase ... 8,617 On the other side of the account : Government Securities £13,031,088; Other Securities Notes unemployed The amount of notes in circulation is £20,142,150, being a decrease of £37,475, and the stock of bullion in both departments is £14,217,376, showing a decrease of £721,742, when compared with the preceding return.

COTTON.---There has been a moderate amount of business done during the week, great animation hav ing been caused by the intelligence of the fall of Sebas topol; but this was afterwards checked, owing to the rise in the rate of interest and the advance in the Corn market, and prices slightly declined, the reduction in some instances amounting to 1-16 d. per lb. The sales for the week up to Friday reached 46,330 bales, of which 5,930 were taken on speculation, and 5,880 for export, leaving 34,520 for the trade.---To-DAY, the advices by the Pacific were to hand with accounts of lower prices on the other side, and the effect was a decline to the extent of id. per lb. The sales were 6,000 bales, all to the trade, and the tone of the mar ket was moderately firm.

Every description of clean, useful low and middle class Wools continue to be taken up as offered at very full prices, such as Turkey, Egyptian, Mogado re , & c. Our next public sales are fixed for the 25th instant, when about 7,000 bales East India and other low Wools will be offered. The imports for the week are, 998 b a l es East India, 92 Australian, 60 Mediterranean, 35 Buenos Ay res , 420 Scotch, 32 Irish, and 19 Coastwise ; total, 1,656 bales. MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCIEESTER.—Yarns have been in less demand, but the orders in the hands of spinners, the improved tone, and an upward movement in cotton, combined to render the market a more difficult one to operate in at the beginning of the week; but since, prices have been rather easier. Whether for India, Germany, or the Mediterranean, the demand has been more moderate. Yarns for the home trade, though more was ilsk“l for them early in the week, can now be obtained at slightly reduced rates ; still, much firmness is maintained. Cloth re mains without much change ; the demand has been steady, but as the week has worn on, there has been less inquiry. ROCIIDALE.—Rather a quiet market in flannels, and without any change in prices. Pieces are taken off the market as fast as they are made, and there is no accumulation of stocks. Wool steady in price as well as demand. HUDDERSFIELD.— The important news from Sebastopol has had a favourable influence upon our market. While the attendance of buyers has not been larger than usual, there has been more activity both in the Cloth-hall and the manufac turers' shops, and plain goods of all kinds have met with readier sale. The operative classes generally, throughout this district, are now in more regular and constant employment. LEEDS.—Prices are firm, with a . tendency to advance. Th e stocks are very low for the season in the clothie rs ' h an d s, an d in consequence the are in active operation. Business has also been of the like active character in the warehouses for the home trade; and there are rather more orders giving out for goods for shipping for the spring trade. BRADFORD.—WOO I : The trade shows great firmness, and the prices sought act as a barrier t o b us i ness b e i ng d one. Noils and shorts without change.—Y arns : Th e increased price for wool makes the spinners firm, at the quotations sought at the opening of the month.—Pieces : The demand is steady, and the goods as produced go into delivery. Prices very firm. NOTTINGHAM.— No visible improvement in the lace or hosiery trades. The home dem an d i s a t presen t our principal business, but this is not so great as may be reasonably looked for a week or two hence, when shopkeepers usually make their autumnal purchases in London, Manchester, and other manu facturing towns. Yarn is still held at firm prices, though there is not much doing for either lace or hosiery. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. BY the United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captin Nye, which arrived in the Mersey at 3 10 p.m., on Saturday, we have intelligence from New York to the sth inst. The Pacific brought 130 passengers, and $370,000 in specie. There has been no further arrivals of steamers from Eng land; but we learn that the steamer Tennessee, from Havre bound to New York, put into Halifax short of coal, on the 4th of September. She had also sustained some damage, having encountered heavy weather, but she would proceed on to New York on the same day. A despatch from Halifax informs us, that owing to some mismanagement in laying the submarine cable between New foundland and Cape Breton, it was lost when the vessel was 40 miles from Newfoundland. There is no intelligence of how it was lost. The crops of corn, grain, and cotton exceed all former esti mates. We have received intelligence from Oswego, N.Y., of a horrible tragedy—the murder by a young man of his father, mother, and younger brother. It appears that the family con sisted of M. and Mary Fitzgerald, and their three sons, Patrick, John, and James, aged 22,18, and 14 years, respectively. John, the murderer, is a wayward young man, and often quarrelled with his parents, and the last originated in consequence of John refusing to attend the funeral of a brother, and he ridi culed the ceremony his parents being Romanists ; and remarked, that if he had a gun he would shoot the cross from the hearse. On Wednesday, the 29th of August, he refused to go to bed. About three o'clock in the morning he mur dered his father, mother, and brother, with an axe. The prisoner was shortly afterwards arrested, and an inquest was held on the bodies. The prisoner confessed that he did kill his father, mother, and brother with an axe, about three o'clock on the morning of Thursday, August 30th. That since the funeral of his brother, on the 27th of May—which he did not attend—his parents have been displeased with him, and he became angry with them for their course, which anger had grown upon him, till about a week ago, he tried to poison them by putting some strychnine into a tumbler of sugar. It was from the same bottle which was found in his trunk. He said no one knew anything of his intention to kill them. A terrible accident occurred on the 29th ult., on the Camden and Amboy railroad, between New York and Philadelphia. The morning mail train left Philadelphia at ten o'clock, and reached Burlington ( twenty miles) a few minutes ahead of time—say a quarter of an hour after eleven o'clock. There were six passenger cars in the train. By the rules of the rail road company, the train first arriving at Burlington, which is the place for the meeting of the trains, is required to wait ten minutes, and if the other train does not arrive then the first is entitled to the road : both trains to run, looking for each other. There is but a single track. The up-train waited, according to orders, for the train from New York, and then came on. When about three miles this side of Burlington, the trains met, saw each other in season to reverse, reversed rapidly, and the train which had left Bur lington a few minutes before ran back for two miles, until it had reached a cross road half a mile this side of Burlington. At this point a waggon with two horses, driven by Dr. Hennegan, an old physician, residing just out of Burlington, was crossing the track as the train backed. The hind car struck the horses, killing them instantly, and this caused that car to be thrown from the track, while those in front piled up on the top of it. Four out of the six cars were thrown off the track in this manner, and three of them were utterly destroyed. They were all well filled with passengers, nearly all of whom were injured more or less seriously. The number killed is stated to be 21 persons, and about 70 others are more or less seriously wounded. Many of the per sons were residents of Philadelphia. Among those killed on the spot are mentioned the names of Major Boyce, of the United States' coast survey, with his wife, and the Baron de St. Andre, French Consul at Philadelphia. Mr. John F. Gil lespie, of Natchez, one of the wounded, had his left leg ampu tated, and the right foot taken off. His position being very critical, this gentleman made his will, and deposited therein his property to the value of 5600,000, directing that in case of his death or that of his wife the railway company should be prosecuted to the last cent. of his fortune. Dr. Hannegan was accompanied by his wife and two children, none of whom were seriously injured. _ _ On the Morning of the 31st ult. another accident occurred on the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. The express train ran over a cow, and three carriages were thrown off the line in consequence. Ten persons were more or less wounded, four of them seriously. A third accident happened on the Brooklyn City Railroad, caused by the breaking of a break chain when descending a hill in Sands-street. A passenger who jumped from the carriage was dangerously injured, and the conductor was also very much bruised. The Boston and Stonington Railway had been the scene of an accident, in which ten persons were very severely injured. It was caused by the removal of a rail, apparently by design. A Boston paper publishes a communication from a German recently from Halifax, giving an expose of the progress of enlistments to the Foreign Legion in the United States. He states that the amount paid by the British Government up to the middle of July was $25,000, and the number of recruits enlisted was only about 600. The writer states that the government has not relinquished the recruiting system in the United States, but on the contrary, has a large number of agents employed for the coming winter, who are expected to induce many poor working men to visit Canada, under pro mise of employment. The recruits, on reaching Halifax, are said to be cheated of half their promised pay, and imprisoned and flogged for grumbling. A telegraphic communication from Baltimore, of the 4th, says :—" By the boat from Norfolk we have the most awful account of the ravages of the yellow fever in that city yet received. A letter from Dr. Morris says that there were no less than 64 deaths in Norfolk on Monday. The Herald gives the names of 35 persons who died on Sunday, and says that 50 bodies were buried on that day. 50 coffins were sent down from here on Saturday, and orders have been received for 100 more. The boat up brought up a large number of people who are flying from the scourge, some of whom have taken refuge in the rotunda of the Exchange until they can procure lodgings. A committee of citizens of Norfolk, headed by Dr. John Weabe, passed through here to Washington, to ask the President for permission to remove the remainder of the inhabitants of their city to Fort Monroe. At Portsmouth the fever is abating, the deaths averaging about ten a day." Subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the yellow fever were being collected in various parts of the Union. A Washington writer, referring to the right of the Danish Government to levy Sound dues, says :—The present treaty will terminate in April next, when, if the toll continue to be demanded, American shipmasters will be instructed not to pay. If they do not pay, Denmark may attempt to collect the tax by force. Thus the casur Belli will be clear, and Captain Hollins will be immediately ordered to Copenhagen with the Cyne, and will batter down that ancient capital exactly as he did Greytown. The flight of Santa Anna from Mexico is confirmed, and his arrival at Havana reported. The cause of his abdication, it is said, was a desire to save his private fortune, which is immense. He is avaricious, and took his measures so well that he suc ceeded in his object. The skirmish at the National Bridge is said to have been occasioned by the attempt of the pursuing party to capture a particular box of gold, which, although marked as the private property of Santa Anna, was claimed to be government funds. But his highness had taken his mea sures too well and got off with the gold. It is the opinion of my informant that Santa Anna ran away sooner than was ne cessary, that his course was by no means desperate, and that his flight may have been a part of a secret arrangement with his opponents, who preferred negociation to fighting. Brief advices from Havana, to the 28th ultimo, report the arrival of Santa Anna there, with hi s f am ily, on the 24th. He left again on the 26th for Caraccas. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW "YORK, sth Sept. No material change had taken place in the money market during the past three days. The supply and demand were about equalized, and the current rates were quoted 7 to 8 per cent. for first-class commercial notes and call loans. In exchange the business for the Pacific was very brisk, and the supply of bills was equal to the demand. The closing rates were :—Bills on London, 91 to 10 per cent. premium ; P ar i s, &c., f. 5.121, 60 days, and f. 5.081-, short sight ; Hamburgh, 36f to 36-1. The New York Shipping List, of September 5, says:— September opens auspiciously as regards finance and trade. The business community is strong in credit and resources, and throughout the domains of commerce a growing activity is apparent. Owing to the universal contraction of trade for many months past, in connection with the diminution of im ports, amounting to upwards of thirty-seven million dollars since Ist January, it is not very probable that there will be any great or sudden unfavourable change in the money mar ket this fall, though temporary fluctuations in the rates are to be expected as the volume of business increases and enterprise receives a new impetus. The foreign trade of New York con tinues in a comparatively healthy condition. The total exports for the eight months, exclusive of specie, is but $2,381,553 less than for the corresponding period of last year ; and the falling off in the specie exports is shown to be $1,049,127. There can be no doubt now of abundant cereal crops to increase the general wealth of the country, should Europe need our surplus, of which there can be no reasonable doubt. CoxTorr.—The market during the past three days has been characterised by the same inactivity and languor as noticed for several weeks past, and the market closes tamely. The telegraph advises a decline of ,tc. in the New Orleans market, consequent upon the large receipts of the new staple, but the effect of this reduction seems to have been neutralised by a corresponding rise in freights. The sales for the week do not probably exceed 6000 to 6000 bales. STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS, EXPORTS, AND STOCKS OF COTTON. Exports to Total Exports Stock in Receipts. Gt. Britain, to For. Ports.

Talcott and Co., in their circular of the o . th instant, state ;--" Our advico are more favourable since our last, as the wet weather complained of in Alabama has been succeeded by a warm dry spell. In the Atlantic States it is stated that the plant is a week or ten days later than last year, but thrifty and well fruited. From the region tributary to New Orleans the accounts are very favour able, and our correspondents generally disposed to estimate very largely. Although we are well aware that it is very dif ficult to approximate the probable yield at this period of the season, yet, as showing the opinions now entertained of the prospects of the crop by some well informed parties at New Orleans, we annex an extract from our correspondent's letter of the 22nd ult.:—` The news about the Cotton crop is favour able, although we occasionally hear of some complaint from different sections. Upon the whole it is generally supposed that the crop will be about 3,300,000 to 3,400,000 bales, which, added to the remainder of last year's crop, will show the largest supplies ever received.' " BREADSTUFFS. — The flour market had been depressed throughout, and prices given way 75c. to 871 c. per barrel since the 28th ult. There had been some purchases for shipment both to England and France at the reduced currency, but so far not to an extent sufficient to give firmness to holders, who still evince anxiety to sell. Wheat had declined 15c. to 20c. per bushel, the supplies being still confined to imports from southern ports. The prices of Indian corn were 2c. to 3c. per bushel lower than on this day week, but there was still no accumulation of stock. PBOVISIOWS.—Pork was 12ic. firmer for mess, and 25c. to 371 c. for prime; the demand moderate, owing to extreme high prices ruling, which were sustained solely by the reduced supply and light arrivals. There was a decrease in the stock during the month of 24,659 bbls. The market for beef was firmly supported ; the stock was but 6,762 pkgs. on the Ist instant, against 15,119 same time last month. Butter and cheese continued in fair request. SALT.—Liverpool was in better supply, with an active de mand, prices are well supported. - - _ - - CoAL.—Liverpool, with light receipts, continued firm. 236 tons Blundell's sold, to arrive, at $8,75. _ _ , . TRox.—Scotch pig, in view of the small supply and favour able accounts from abroad, continued to advance, and some 300 tons had changed hands at 835, cash, and $36,53 to $37, 6 mos. Bars were very firm, with sales of refined English at $67,50, and common $62,50, 6 mos. Of scrap, which is scarce and wanted, we notice 175 tons West India No. 1, at $37,121, cash ; and 100 ditto extra City, $4O, 6 mos. English sheet was firm at 31c. to 44c.

Freight to Liverpool, COURT AND FASHION. THE PRINCESS ROYAL of Sweden has had the misfortune to break her arm at the baths of Sandefjord. THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF DERBY, the Hon. Frederick and Lady Emma Stanley, are on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Malmesbury, at Achnacarry, Inverness-shire. LORD PANMURE, the Minister of War, and Mr. F. Peel, the Secretary for War, are to remain in London during the autumn. IT IS UNDERSTOOD that a marriage will shortly take place between the Hon. Francis Stonor, second son of Lord Camoys, and Miss Peel, daughter of the late Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel. A LETTER from Munich states that King Maximilian had been attacked slightly with fever, which, it was thought, would prevent his Majesty from being present at the opening of the Chambers. HER MAJESTY has presented the Rev. Dr. Hall, chaplain to the British Embassy at Paris, a diamond ring, as a mark of approbation of the manner in which he twice officiated in her presence, at St. Cloud. SANDON-HALL, in Staffordshire, the seat of the Earl of Harrowby, which was burnt down about seven years ago, has been rebuilt, and is so far completed that the noble earl and his family occupied it, for the first time, on their return from London on Thursday week. Its erection has occupied four years. MARSHAL RADETZKI last week feted his fiftieth anniver sary of his promotion to the grade of general. He is 89 years of age, and has served 71 years. In reply to an auto graph letter from the Emperor Francis Joseph, congratu lating him on the restoration of his health, the old general has requested to be allowed to retire. THE REV. GEORGE FARNCOMB WRIGHT, M.A., fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, has been appointed to the mastership in Shrewsbury School, vacant by the preferment of the Rev. A. T. Paget to the rectory of Kirstead-cum-Lang hale, Norfolk. Mr. Wright graduated in 1852 as seventh wrangler. His EXCELLENCY SIR RICHARD Pairrwila at, recently the Minister Plenipotentiary at the court of Portugal, left town a few days back on a special mission to Lisbon, to convey Her Majesty's congratulations to the King of Portugal on his at taining his regal majority, and to represent Her Majesty at that sovereign's coronation. PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM, son of the Prince Royal of Prussia, and heir presumptive of the throne, has gone to Balmoral to pay a visit to the Queen. It is generally under stood that this visit is not without a particular object, which it is unnecessary to explain more fully. THE BISHOP or LONDON preached again on Sunday week at Erafrath, near Dusseldorf. He has derived so much benefit from his stay at Dusseldorf both in his sight and in his gene ral health, that he will be able to proceed up the Rhine in the course of a few days, making a tour into Switzerland before' his return home. VISIT OF THE KING OF SARDIICIA TO PARIS.—The arrival of the King of Sardinia in Paris is announced for to-day, ex cepting some extraordinary events prevent His Majesty's departure from Piedmont. No feastings or rejoicings will take place during his stay in Paris, on account of the mourn ing for his Majesty's mother, wife, and brother. The King comes to see the Exhibition and visit the Emperor, his ally ; his suite will be very limited : his official residence will be at the Chateau du Compeign and the Tuilleries, while in Paris. There will be only one grand review at the Champ de Mars. STABBING.—There were two cases of stabbing at the police court, on Saturday. Catherine Price, the wife of a dock labourer, was charged with inflicting a serious wound on the cheek of a widow named Elizabeth Johnson, They are neighbours, and lived in Gore-street, Toxteth-park. On Thursday morning the prisoner went into Johnson's house, and they began to quarrel about a shirt which the latter had missed. During the altercation the prisoner called the other "an old liar," when the latter struck her. The prisoner, who at the time was opening a cockle with a knife, rushed upon the old woman, and inflicted a severe gash on her cheek. She was removed in a fainting state to the Southern Hospital, where the wound was dressed. Mr. Garland, who had at tended her, stated that when admitted she was suffering from an incised wound on the left cheek, which had been caused by some sharp instrument. She could not yet open her mouth. The prisoner was remanded. In the second case, Louis Petrie, seaman, belonging to the American ship Milton, of New York, was charged with stabbing Bridget Calligan, a girl of ill-repute. The latter stated that the prisoner was in her house on Monday, about midnight, in a state of intoxica tion, and that, without saying anything to her, he suddenly drew his knife from his sheath behind him, and aimed a blow at her throat. She tried to elude the knife, which caught her in the neck, producing a slight wound. She gave infor mation to the police, which led to the apprehension of the prisoner. She had never seen him before. Mr. Sayer, of the Northern Dispensary, stated that the prosecutrix was brought in on Tuesday morning. She had a wound, two inches long and three-quarters of an inch deep, cutting through the super ficial fibres of the muscles. She would not be able to move her neck for a fortnight. The prisoner declared he was never out of his ship on the night in question ; and on sending for the shipkeeper, and a sailor, his statement was fully borne out. It being evident that the girl had been mistaken in the identity, he was discharged. AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.—The Gipsy Bride, Captain Murphy, of the " Liverpool line," sailed from Liverpool for Melbourne, yesterday, with 250 passengers, a full cargo of valuable merchandise, and a ship letter bag. The Royal Mail ship Red Jacket, of the " White Star" line went into the river on Sunday, and will sail for Melbourne on Thursday, with the mails for the Australian colonies. She will have nearly all her berths full, and will carry about 300 passengers ; she has also on board a large and valuable cargo of general merchandise. The Monica, an extra packet of this line, will be dispatched for Melbourne early in October. The mails of the 20th proximo will be conveyed by the Mermaid, Captain Devey, which has completed two very rapid passages to the antipodes. She was to leave Melbourne early in July, and may be shortly expected. The Indian Queen, Captain Jobson, belonging to the Black Ball" line, went into the river on Saturday, and will sail in a day or two for Melbourne, with a full cargo of general merchan dise and about 100 passengers. She will be succeeded on the sth proximo by the Royal Mail ship Schomberg, Captain J. N. Forbes, which will carry a full number of passengers and cargo. Some novelties are introduced in the fittings of this celebrated ship worthy of attention. Her 'tween decks are fitted up with iron berths throughout, and have a very pretty and light appearance. Her iron tanks are fitted to carry either water or provisions, and, while they are able to bear any weight placed upon them, they act as permanent ballast for the ship. The fore-yard of the vessel is a hollow iron tube, made of -t-inch plates, and the invention of which is claimed by Mr. John Clare, jun. The Emigration Commissioners have advertised for vessels to carry emigrants to Melbourne and Adelaide, each to be ready for passengers between the Ist and 9th of November, as may hereafter be determined. The Fiery Cross is now loading east side of Prince's Dock, for Melbourne. This ship attracts considerable attention; she is, without doubt, the finest modelled vessel yet built at this port. Her poop accommodations are very elegant and commodious. The Fiery Cross takes neither intermediate or steerage passengers, and is under engagements to sail on the sth October. LANCASHIRE BURIAL BOARDS.--Returns were issued on Friday of the fees determined upon by each of the Burial Boards established under acts of the last three sessions, for burials in the consecrated and unconsecrated ground respec tively, with the manner of their appropriation. St. Anthony's Cemetery, Liverpool, has not, as yet, been opened, and no scale of charges has yet been decided upon ; and Toxteth-park Cemetery has but just been commenced. The corporation of Warrington have only very recently been invested with the powers of a Burial Board, and their cemetery is not yet con structed. At Bury the subject of fees has not yet been con sidered by the Burial Board, as the Vestry declined to vote any money for the purposes of a cemetery ; and the Lancaster Burial Board have not yet determined upon a table of fees, I nor the manner of their appropriation. The Burial Board of Preston, however, have adopted the following scale of fees, which may serve as a guide in other cases : --The minister re ceives 2s. for reading the service, and 10s. 6d. extra if the per son buried has been brought from another parish ; £1 4s. for the privilege of placing a stone over the grave, and £1 4s. extra for a tomb : £4 for a single vault, and £lO for a double vault. The clerk's fee is only 6d. The sexton receives 3s. 6d. for a grave for an adult, and 2s. fid. for a child's grave; and is. when called upon to remove and replace a stone. There is also a fee of is 6d. for tolling the bell. Irrespective of the preced ing, the following charges are made by the Board :—For a general grave, ls. 6d.; for a private grave in perpetuity, £1 ; I for a single vault, £2 ; for a double vault, £4. These charges are doubled in the case of persons not resident within the township. The charge for the privilege of plitcing a stone over a grave, we observe, in going through the returns, is un usually high, Li ls. being the highest in any other place in 1 England, wherein a burial board has been established, and half that amount being a much more usual charge, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE THE WAR. FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES. WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 10. Lord Panmure has received the following telegraphic despatch from General Simpson, dated CRIMEA, Sept. 10. The casualties, I regret to say, are somewhat heavy. No General Officer killed. Names shall be sent as soon as possible. A supplement of the Moniteur of Monday publishes the following : The Minister of War received to-day (Sept. 10), at 3 p.m., the following telegraphic despatch from General Pelissier : Bne Nciox REDOUBT, Sept. 9, 3 a.m. Karabelnaia and the south part of Sebastopol no longer exist. The enemy perceiving our solid occupation of the Malakhoff, decided upon evacuating the place, after having destroyed and blown up, by mines, nearly all the defences. Having passed the night in the midst of my troops, I can assure you that everything in the Karnabelnaia is blown up, and from what I could see, the same must be the case in front of our left line of attack. ___ This immense success does the greatest honour to our troops. I will send you detailed account of our losses during the day, which after so many obstinate combats, must be consi derable. To-morrow I shall be enabled to form an estimate of the results of this great day's work, a great portion of the honour of which is due to Generals Bosquet and MacMahon. Everything is quiet on the Tchernaya, and we are vigilant there. The Minister of War at Paris received, at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, the following news : CRIMEA, September 9, 8 p.m. This morning I ascertained that the enemy has sunk his steamers. Their work of destruction continued under the fire of our shells. The explosion of mines successively and on different points makes it our duty to defer our entrance into the place, which presents the spectacle of an immense confla gration. Closely pressed by our fire, Prince Gortschakoff has demanded an armistice to carry away the remainder of the wounded near fort St. Paul. The bridge, as a precautionary measure, has been broken down by his orders. I am collecting the returns of our losses, and you shall have them as soon as ready. All goes on well. We are vigilant on the Tchernaya. - _ _ PARIS, l‘londay, 10 p.m. A despatch from General Della Marmora announces that in the night which followed the capture of the Malakhoff the Russians retired, burning the town, destroying the buildings, and sinking their last ships. It was General Bosquet's corps d' arine's which captured the Malakhoff. The Moniteur of Tuesday announces that the Minister of Marine has received the following telegraphic despatch from Vice-Admiral Bruat CRIMEA, Sept. 9, 10.15 a.m. The assault upon the Malakhoff Tower was made yesterday at noon, and later on the Great Redan and Central Bastion. A gale from the north kept the ships at anchor. The mortar-boats, to be enabled to fire, were obliged to enter Streletzka Bay. They fired 600 shells against the Quarantine Bastion and Fort Alexander. The six English mortar-boats, also at anchor in Streletzka Bay, fired about the same number of shells. Last night violent explosions and vast conflagrations made us suppose that the Russians were evacuating the town. To-day we ascertained that the Russian vessels had been sunk. The bridge was covered with troops retreating to the north side. After eight o'clock the bridge was destroyed. Only a few steamers remain in the port, anchored near Fort Catherine. I approached this morning the Quarantine batteries on board the Brandon, and ascertained myself that they are now evacuated. They have just blown up. Our soldiers have left their trenches and spread themselves in isolated groups on the ramparts of the town, which appears to be completely abandoned. --- PARIS, Wednesday. The Minister of War received to-day, the 12th of Sept., the following telegraphic despatch from Gen. Pelissier : CRIMEA, Sept 10, 11 p.m. I inspected to-day Sebastopol and its lines of defence. The mind cannot form an exact picture of our victory, the full extent of which can only be understood by an inspection of the place itself. The multiplicity of the works of defence and the material means applied thereto exceed by far anything hitherto seen in the history of war. The capture of the Afalakhoff, which compelled the enemy to fly before our eagles, already three times victorious, has placed in the hands of the allies an amount of materiel and immense establishments, the importance of which it is not yet possible to state exactly. To-morrow the allied troops will occupy the Karabelnaia and the town, and under their protection an Anglo-French commission will be occupied with making out a return of the materiel abandoned to us by the enemy. The exultation of our soldiers is very great, and it is with shouts of Vive l'Empereur .' that they celebrate their victory in the camp. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. (A Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday, contains the following.) WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 12. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its en closures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his lordship by General Simpson : BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 1. My Lord,—The siege operations during the past week have progressed slowly, the brightness of the nights rendering the work to be performed a task of great difficulty. The head of the sap is now about 150 yards from the salient of the Redan, and the enemy interrupt the work by every means in their power. - On the night of the 28th, a 13-inch shell fell into a magazine on the left face of the Mamelon, which exploded, causing some few casualties, but in no way interrupting the continuance of the fire. On the night of the 30th ult., the Russian pickets made a rush at our advanced trench, upset a few gabions, and un fortunately killed Lieutenant Preston, of the 07th Regiment. In this affair Captain Pechell, of the 77th Regiment, who commanded the advanced party, and Lieutenant-Colonel Bunbury, of the 23rd Regiment, who commanded the supports, behaved with great gallantry. Great activity prevails on the part of the garrison in making use of the new raft-bridge across the harbour, and stores of all kinds are daily transported to the north side. Large working parties are employed in throwing up works on the north side, but as yet they are in too unfinished a state to judge of their exact nature. From the information we continue to receive it appears that the enemy is concentrating his force between the Mackenzie heights and Fort Constantine ; and although several minor changes of position have been made, no movement of im portance has occurred to indicate a positive intention to attack. All our accounts confirm the reports of the great losses ol the enemy daily in Sebastopol, and that some discontent pre• vails in their ranks. I have the honour to enclose the lists of casualties. I have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding. The total casualties from the 27th to the 30th of August were, 1 officer, 1 sergeant, 20 rank and file killed; 6 officers, 4 sergeants, 152 rank and file wounded. NOMINAL RETURN OF OFFICERS KILLED.

WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 12. _ _ _ Lord Panmure begs to forward the accompanying list of officers killed and wounded at Sebastopol, which he has this day received from General Simpson. Lord Panmure thinks it right at the same time to observe, that in the transmission of the list by telegraph several mis takes occurred in the names of the officers wounded, and he cannot therefore hold himself responsible for its accuracy : OFFICERS KILLED.

Palmer, 62nd Regiment. WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 13. Lord Panmure has this morning received the following in telligence from General Simpson, dated CRIMEA, Sept. 12, 10 40 a.m. The enemy have destroyed the remainder of their fleet. Nothing now remains in the harbour. An Imperial decree published in the Moniteur nominates General Pelissier Marshal of France. The Moniteur announces the Imperial decision for the immediate liberation from service of the soldiers of the army of the East of the class of 1847, who had hitherto been kept under arms. The Moniteur of Friday announces that Marshal Pelissier, in a telegraphic despatch dated September 11, informs the Minister of War, that about 4,500 wounded, of which number 240 are officers, have gone to the ambulances. As regards the number of dead (killed on the field of bat tle), it has not yet been possible to get an exact return, but it is the opinion of the Commander-in-chief that it does not ex ceed the ordinary proportion—that is to say, about one-third of the number of the wounded. THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. The following is a copy of the despatch of Prince Gortscha koff:— SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 9, 8 p.m. The enemy receives constantly reinforcements of fresh troops. The bombardment is fiercely violent. 10 AT NIGHT. The garrison of Sebastopol, after sustaining an infernal fire (feu d'enfer), repulsed six assaults, but could not drive the enemy from Kornileff Bastion (the Malakhoff Tower). Our brave troops, who resisted to the last extremity, are now crossing over to the northern part of Sebastopol. The enemy found nothing in the southern part but blood stained ruins. On the 9th of September, the passage of the garrison from the southern to the northern part was accomplished with extraordinary success, our loss on that occasion being but 100 men. We left, I regret to say, nearly 500 men,grievously wounded, on the southern side. THANKS TO THE ARMY. The London Gazette, of Friday, states that Lord Pan mure has addressed the following telegraphic despatch to General Simpson : WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept.l2 : The Queen has received with deep emotion the welcome in telligence of the fall of Sebastopol. Penetrated with profound gratitude to the Almighty, who has vouchsafed this triumph to the allied army, Her Majesty has commanded me to express to yourself, and, - through von, to the army, the pride with which she regards this fresh in stance of their heroism. The Queen congratulates her troops on the triumphant issue of this protracted siege, and thanks them for the cheerfulness and fortitude with which they have encountered its toils, and the valour which has led to its termination. The Queen deeply laments that this success is not without its alloy in the heavy losses which have been sustained ; and, while she rejoices in the victory, Her Majesty deeply sym pathizes with the noble sufferers in their country's cause. You will be pleased to congratulate General Pelissier, in Her Majesty's name, upon the brilliant result of the assault on the Malakhoff, which proves the irresistible force as well as the indomitable courage of our brave allies. PANMURE. THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S THANKSGIVING. ON Thursday the Emperor went in state to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and was present at a Te Denni, in acknowledg ment of the downfal of Sebastopol. The interior of the Cathedral was decorated nearly in the same style as on the marriage of the Emperor. The choir was covered over with the oriflammes of France,England, Piedmont, and Turkey, and glittered in the sunbeams which passed through the Gothic windows. The altar in the middle of the transept appeared like a mass of carved gold, encircled by hundreds of candelabra. The aisle and transept were furnished with benches covered with velvet for the officers of the Crown, the various constituted corps, and the representatives of foreign governments, Among the most prominent were the Prussian and Austrian ambassadors. The diplomatic corps and the Ministers of the Crown were to the right of the Emperor, and on the left the Marshals of France, the Grand Crosses of the Legion of Honour, the members of the Institute, and other dignitaries and high functionaries. A certain number of ladies who had been specially invited were also present. The side aisles were left for the occupation of the public, who filled them at an early hour. At 11 o'clock the church was nearly filled. At half-past 11 the Archbishop of Paris, with crozier and mitre, and followed by the chapter, pro ceeded to the entrance, where a canopy had been erected, and under which he awaited the Emperor's approach. The greatest interest prevailed as the ambassadors arrived. The personage, however, whose presence was hailed with marked welcome was Abdel Kader, who perhaps was the least astonished at finding himself in i a Christiantemple thanking Heaven for the triumphs of France. At half-past twelve the drums beating to arms and the shouts of the crowd gave note of the Emperor's approach. Within the church every one rose, the orchestra struck up a triumphal march, and the troops presented arms. The Emperor was received at the porch of the Cathedral by the Archbishop and clergy of Paris. The Archbishop, having presented the holy water and incense to His Majesty, addressed him as follows : " SIRE,—I come to receive your Majesty at the threshold of this august temple, which vibrates to-day to the sound of the glory of France. Let our solemn thanksgiving ascend to wards God for the brilliant success with which he has crowned our arms. So much heroism will recieve its recom pense. The great object which your Majesty, in concert with your allies, pursues with so much firmnesss and wisdom, will not fail soon to be attained ; a glorious and lasting peace will be achieved. But, Sire, that which adds to the nation's joy under present circumstances in the thought that Heaven, after preparing for you all these triumphs, is preparing for you over and above, domestic joys, which will be the more precious to your heart that they will also be the source of public happiness." The Emperor replied : " I came here, Monseigneur, to thank Heaven for the triumph it has granted to our arms ; for I mast acknowledge ' t THE ASSAULT ON THE I C ' 6 „„ f 0 (FROM THE GLOBE.) ~ ipluP. , ,o IT would appear, from the list of cas ual Mo fCO2 officers, that the brunt of the fighting at the .fri l Cc" the Second and Light Divisions, comrcon, a ., ru nc eio tio. o l‘ f la t r h k e ha 4 n t i h a , n a d n C d od H r o in r non b , ri a g n a d de po o rt f io t r e of n z- bbuitiod. pi l l The First Division, composed of the Gllar u 7. e d._ n'd; 13th, 31st, and 56th Regiments, were not engell e Prior brigade of the Highland Division were up otA, 4 ; PIO the Third Division appears to have been out tow - s i j ofT4k, rett's Brigade a , the second of the fourth divisitdAl oil l ll no casualty mong its officers.
