NOVEMBER 27, 1855.] ARRIVAL OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPS. ON Saturday, a telegraphic message was received by Messrs. P ilkington and Wilson, intimating that their splendid Royal mil Packet-ship " White Star," Captain Brown, which sailed from Melbourne on the 31st of August last, was off Cape Clear on Thursday. The owners immediately despatched a steam-tug to assist in bringing her into port. The " White Star " has 95,000 ounces of gold on board, worth about 320 ,000, besides a large and valuable cargo, including 70 tons of copper, 1,200 bales of wool, and a great number of S kins. She has also about 150 passengers, and may be looked for in the Mersey in the course of to-day. The " Oliver Lang, " belonging to Messrs. James Baines and Co.'s " Black Ball line," which sailed from Melbourne on the 23rd of August, was telegraphed yesterday in Liverpool, as being off Queenstown. The wind was blowing strongly from the east, without any indication of a change. Under these circumstances, she was telegraphed to land her mails at Queenstown, and in all probability they will be delivered here in course of to-day. She has 75,000 ounces of gold on board. The dates by both of these ships have been anticipated via Ceylon, by the overland mail which arrived lately.

COMMERCIAL and MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. THERE have been some fluctuations in the value of the public funds during the week, though not to any very great extent, and the tendency on the whole has been upward. In the early part of the week there was considerable buoyancy, owing to large purchases of stock, and a rumour which was generally credited that Sweden would enter into the alliance with the Western Powers. On Thursday, however, it was stated that the Bank directors were about to make another increase in the rate of discount, and the funds declined, but as no alteration was made the decline was partially recovered. There has been an active demand for money at the prevailing rates, arising principally from the payments of the instalments on the English and Turkish loans. By the Bank returns on Friday there appears an increase in the stock of bullion of £28,786, which may be attributed chiefly to the augmentation of the public deposits amounting to £504,772. On the other hand, there is a decrease in the circulation of notes of £340,860, which ac counts for an increase in the reserve of notes unem ployed of £356,325, making the total £5,239,530. The other changes are in private deposits and securi ties, the decrease of the former, being £279,328, and of the latter £92,414, so that the amount of accommoda tion afforded by the Bank of England is gradually diminishing. Proposals have been made for the establishment in Paris of a Joint Stock Bank, with the view of intro ducing the London system of banking into France. This plan, if carried out with sufficiency of capital, may, no doubt, be the means of effectinc , considerable improvements in monetary arrangemen ts ; but a far greater benefit would be conferred if the proposed new bank were in immediate correspondence with similar institution in London, so as toform the medium for effectinc , exchanges without having recourse tothe Itothschilds ' and similar establishments. There is no doubt that abundant capital could be found for the enterprise, and, as the trade with France is likely to experience a considerable increase, it would Tender it in a great measure independent of those changes which sometimes arise from political causes. It would, at the same time, help to strengthenthe alliance which now exists between the two countries, and materially facilitate those monetary operations which the payments for the purposes of the war render necessary. Another banking establishment is required in the Crimea, somewhat on the principle of a savings' bank, but which might also be made available for military purposes in the payment of 'the 'troops. It is corn ! plained that the majority of the gnghsh soldiers are spending their extra pay in drunkenness, owing chiefly to Their having no other ready means of devoting their money. If a bank were established where small sums 'would be received, there is no , doubt that many would 'take advantage of it to inves't'their extra pay, and if the authorities should 'decline to make it a public in stitution, a branch of one of our joint-stock-basis might be made to answer the purpose. The receipts of specie during the week have been but trifling, amounting 'to about £175,000, whil3 the exports are estimated at £300,000.• There are, how ever, large quantitiesexpected, and of these gold to the amount of ;about £700,000 is known to be 'ciff the coast. At Manchester buiiness has been quiet, 'which is not unusual at this lime of the year ; but though prices for some things have slightly given way, the decline is not equal to that in the raw material. In the Woollentradeithere is nothing particular to notice, there is a fair amount of business doing, but without alteration in prices. The Hosiery and Lace trades are showing signs , olimprovement, particularly in the fancy branches. The Corntradeis in a rapid decline. In Mark-lane to-day Wheat was4unsaleable at 3s. per quarter decline, and may be quoted 6d. per bushel lower. The country maikets:are in much the same state, owing to the in creasing conviction that the supplies will be fully equalltoithe demands for consumption.

The Russians lost 500 men, and five cannon out of seven which they had. The surveyance, by the Western Powers, of the mode of expenditure of the Turkish Loan is still resisted by the Porte ; but the Commissariat of the Allies persist in executing their mission. It was asserted at Constantinople that the army of General Monravieff had recrossed the Apatchai. If this prove true, the siege of Kars will be raised, as the Russians will have crossed that river into Georgia, on their road to Gumri and Tiflis. The Allies will not occupy Sebastopol as a basis and a posi tion, but are completing mines, by which the docks, arsenals, &c., will be destroyed at a given signal. PARIS, Sunday. Count Mole has been stricken with apoplexy, and is dead. The Patrie states that the Papal Nuncio, who, in order to avoid coming in contact with the King of Sardinia, an ex communicated person, had proposed to be absent from Paris this week, on ecclesiastical business, has put off the consecra tion which was to call him away, and will assist at the pre sentation of the corps diplomatique. The Morning Post says, " The King of Sardinia, with the Emperor and Prince Napoleon, visited the Exhibition to-day, and attended the concert given in the central nave. He was immensely cheered.' MARSEILLES, Nov. 25. The Caire, which left Constantinople on the 15th inst., has arrived. She brings advices from the Crimea to the 13th inst. Despatches left at 8 p.m. last night. The Caradoc has arrived. The corvette Albatross, with Imperial Guards on board, has arrived from the Crimea. MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER. — In addition to the causes, such as dear money and high prices, that previously combined to interfere with anything like a brisk demand, we have this week had a falling cotton market in Liverpool, which induces buyers more generally to expect to execute their orders on lower terms, and to act with increased caution. Though the demand is much restricted, and the market quiet, it is not altogether very easy to effect purchases at any considerable reduction in price, though doubtless both goods and yarnsare obtainable at deci dedly lower rates this week. Still the decline is gradual, and only bocomes more prominently observable as orders begin to run out, when the desire to effect sales is perceptible. Yarns have been dull all the week, and prices in favour of the buyer, generally to the extent of about *d per lb. and in some in stances rather more. The exception is in 16's weft, which in consequence of the strike, has advanced about jd per lb. The demand is somewhat dull for yarns for home manufaeture, orders being given out only to a su ffi cient extent to supply the immediate consumption, in the expectation that a weak cotton market will lead to reduced prices being accepted. India yarns are still inquired for, and at rather easier rates some little business has been done. Water yarns are again dull and lower, the inquiry both for Germany and China being limited. Goods ogre also dull, but prices are hardly so much affected as is the.case with yarns, not having previously ad vanced in like proportion. Shirtings continue without much demand ; and, with the exception of 40in. which are pretty firm, are lower in value. There is very little doing in the lighter makes of printing cloth. The accounts received by the Greek 'houses are not particularly favourable at present, and theiroperations continue to be limited. Other descrip tions of goods are not much inquired for, and have a down ward tendency.—Manchester Courier. ROCIIVALE. — No change in the prices of wool, but business has been less spirited than a week ago ; the demand has been confined to immediate wants. In flannels no change, but transactions have been very limited. EVDDERSFIELD.—There have been very few buyers about, and their transactions have not been very extensive. LEEDS. — More business done at the coloured cloth halls *llan for several weeks past; but demand dull at the White Hall. On the whole, however, there has been more done than 'usual so late in the season. Prices remain steady ; the stocks moderate. The transactions in the warehouses have been light during the week, but not more so than usual at this late period of the season; and the trade generally is considered to be in a healthy state. NOTTINGHAM.—SeareeIy anythingdoingexcept for America. This is generally the 'case to a great extent at this period of the year, but the stone of the money market causes all opera tions which are not imperative to be suspended until more favourable rates prevail. Yarns remain stationary in price. The hosiers are still fairly employed with or d e rs for the United States. Stocks :are exceedingly low, both in the hands of manufacturers and warehousemen, and the fact that the American season 'has been a good one prevents those accumu lations which fortwo years past have been made and forced on the home trade,-so that on the whole, though we do not anti cipate a large trade, we look for a sound and remunerative one for the coming spring. Cotton yarns are firm, span silks ad vancing. Merinos and woollens a shade lower. LEICESMIL—No improvement since last report. The prices of wool and yarn remain firm. MURDER OF A CHILD BY HIS FATHER. YESTBREPAY, a squalid and ruifianly , looking man, named ThomaslCeegan, a tinker, who resided in 17 Court, Addi sonsstreet, was brought before Mr. Aikin .at the Police court, on a charge of having killed John 'Keegan, his son, a child of about two and a half years of age. From the evi deuce' it appeared that the prisoner was arrested on Saturday , by -Police-constable Henry Jones, on .a charge of having cruelly treated and beaten his •dsilt. Theinfant was taken to the 'Vauxhall Dispensary, where, on examination, it was found that he was suffering from a severe , contused wound on the left temple, and a contusion of the right eye. He was :also .in a shocking state of filth, evidently caused by neglect, and was removed to the workhouse. About nine o'clock yesterday (Monday) morning the child died, and in the opinion of Mr. Shaw, the surgeon to the work house, who examined the child, there was no doubt that his death had been caused by the treatment to which he had been subjected.—A woman :named Julia _Hollis, who lived in the same house with the : prisoner, stated that the latter was in the habit of ill-treating the child, and:beating him very much. On Thursday and Sriday nights he beat the child very severely, and witness remonstrated with him. On Thursday she saw the prisoner beat the child every heavily on the head and face.—Anne \Walsh, the woman in whose house the prisoner lived, said that ithe had taken the child away from the prisoner and made a bed.for him in the kitchen to save him from the prisoner's violence; and but forler interference she believes the child would,have been killed by the prisoner's violence long ago. On Bridarnight she was ill, and in conse quence the prisoner took the child up with him to the garret where he usually slept. 'Shortly after this she heard the prisoner inflicting heavy blows on the child, and on going up to where it was on Saturday bout two o'clock, •she found the child very ill and unable:taeat. She gave an alarm, and the child was taken to the Dispensary, where it was examined., The mother of the child died about seven months ago. The prisoner was remanded till :the result of the inquest on the body should be known. THE iInUEST. Yesterday, an inquest was held on the body,.by.P. F. Curry Esq., the borough coroner, when the preceding evidence was fully corroborated, and the numerous acts of cruelty more minutely detailed. From this inquiry it turned out that the prisoner was in the habit of severely striking the deceased with his clenched fist, to take him.up in both his .hands and dash him down on the floor, and also to take him,by the hair and dash his head on the ground. The post-mortem exami nation revealed the fact, that betides the external bruises and injuries above detailed, the deceased had a very slight fracture of the frontal plate of the•right orbital bone. This, .although not the i mmed iate cause of death,svotild, in the surgeon's opinion, without doubt accelerate that event;theim mediate Call Sea death ,was messenteric disease, and tbere.were likewise indications of tubercular disease in thelungs. The fracture referred to .was undoubtedly caused :by violence, and was immediately under the contusion on the right eye. The coroner,..in re marking on the case, said the ,cruelty .of which the prisoner had been proved guilty exceeded anything he had ever.met with. As to the cause of death, he saidthe law was clear.and fixed, that if an individual committed .an unlawful act .by which death was acceleratektbat•act was,beld to be the cause of death; and if commited under circumstances which would render it a case of murder if the death was immediate, it was equally a case of murder where the fatal issue was merely accelerated. After a brief consultation, the jury returned s verdiet.of " wilful murder" against Thomas Keegan ; and he was committed for trial on the coroner's warrant. VILIZZTOUS ASSAULT.—At the Police-court, on Wednes day, William Kelly, a seaman, was committed for trial charged with stabbing Martin Percival, a ;Police-officer, while l i t le in ogf :ctoutsti ha d b r almostd eslelvfeorrebditia7pgiecedru,nakboaunttalifs-Oarnd.einrleyh. long, from the officer's nose.

RECA.;NTATION IN ST. SOHN'S CHURCII.—On Saturday, the 17th instant, five converts from Romanism were received into the communion of the Anglican Church by the Rev. W. F. Taylor, LL.D. The controversial inquiring class in con nexion with this church is carried on with unabated interest, every Monday evening, in the school-room, which is always densely crowded with an attentive audience; a great number of Romanists attend, and ask questions on the Romish con troversy. THEFT AND ILLE4AL PAWNING. — Yesterday, a woman named Mary Bird, was charged at the Police-court with stealing and pawning a watch, belonging to a sailor named Robert Brownlow, on Thursday night last. From the evi dence, it appeared that Brownlow, who had been drinking, met with some women, of whom the prisoner was one, on the night in question. They persuaded him to accompany them, and there they, as he says, d ru gged some liquor which they induced him to drink, shortly after doing which he became insensible. On recovering his senses he discovered that his watch had been taken from him. In defence, the prisoner said, he gave her the watch, which she got another woman to pawn, and on it they obtained an advance of £2. She was ordered to repay the £2, and to pay a fine of £2 for illegally pawning the watch ; or to be imprisoned for one months. ALLEGED THEFT or WEElT. — Yesterday a man of decent appearance, named Michael Swee n ey , was brou ght before the q p n ol a i n ce ti e ty ou e r f t c w h h a e r a g t ed fr i e v in tiithllaysihnigp, AonlliFairieide:iyin the Bramley night, stolen a Moore Dock. From the evidence in support of the charge it appeared that the ship Alliance, laden with wheat, had been consigned to Messrs. Frazer, Trenholm and Co., and that on Friday night the prisoner WAS stopped as he attempted to pass the dock-gates with a cart, containing as he alleged a quantity of ship sweepings, but which on examination was found to defence it was a verre d that the prisoner purchase.:contain wheat, and which was tille6e4 have been stolen.

The Moniteur of Saturday publishes the following : Marshal Pelissier, in his last report to the Minister of War, gives the following account of a successful coup-de•main effected on the 3rd of November by the expeditionary corps of Eupatoria, under the orders of General d'Allonville : General d'Allonville having received information that large flocks, destined for the use of the Russian army, were collected near El-Toch, eight leagues north of Eupatoria, attempted to capture them by a eoup-de-main, which perfectly succeeded. With this object in view, he sent in the direction of El- Toch General Ali Pasha, commander of the Ottoman cavalry, with the Irregulars and some Turkish squadrons, as well as two French and two English squadrons. At the same time he left the town with the remainder of the French and English troops, to support the operation. The Englis h cavalry brigade advanced on Djollach, the French cavalry brigade on Tioumen ; De Failly's division, formerly the reserve, took up a position between Orta-Mamai and Schiban. Meantime General Ali Pasha advanced on El-Toch, meeting only a few Cossacks, who fled on his approach, although sup ported by a force oesome squadrons. At 6 p.m. Ali Pasha sent word to General d'Allonville that his operation had succeeded, and at 9 o'clock be returned to Eupatoria, bringing with him 270 oxen, 3,460 sheep, 50 horses, 10 camels, and 20 waggons, captured froin the Russians.

The Pre.sss says :—" The Court of St. Petersburg has com municated proposals of peace to the Emperor of the French, ' and the Emperor in introducing them to the consideration of her Majesty's Go vernment, has declared his opinion that the contemplated terms are satisfactory, and that the spirit in which they are offered by Russia is sincere. We are credibly informed . that a large party in the Cabinet has received these proposals IT no means with disfavour. Yet, we regret to say, it appears probable that through adverse influences they will meet with discouragement, and perhaps ultimately with abso lute zrejection. There is another class of rumours also rife, respecting Sweden, of a different kind, more refined and exclu sive. at is, that his Majesty the King of Sweden has consented, or is to•consent, to become mediator between the Allies and Russia, and that the negotiations for peace are to be trans ferred from the German powers to the less odious agency of a Scandinavian prince. It is suggested that certain proposals may prove less unpalatable in this popular form." D R. AN TR OBUS'S PERSIAN HAIR RESTORATIVE, AND HAIR DYE. Under the immediate patronage of the Princes of Persia and India. These Articles are without doubt the most extraordinary in their powers,ever submitted to the Public, and require but to be tried to be appreciated, admired, and continued. The RESTORATIVE strengthens the hair and prevents it falling off after every other means have been resorted to unsuc cessfully; it cures baldness and creates a natural curl, and by its use myriads of persons of both sexes are indebted to having a good head of hair at the present moment. Its efficacy is therefore undoubted, and the whole world is challenged to produce an article to equal it, either for beautifying the human hair or pre serving it to the latest period of life. For the production of Whiskers or Moustache it is infallible. The qualities of the HAIR DYE are decidedly superior to any thing of the kind ever attempted, and the whole surface of the head can be changed into a most natural black or brown, within five minutes after using it, so as to defy detection from the greatest connoisseur. Letter from Henry Vinson, Court Hair Dresser and Wig Maker, of 124, Leadenhall street, London. To Da. AVTROBI.IB. . Sir,—Your Hair Restorative is one of the greatest blessings ever invented. Several of my customers are enraptured with it, and consider it beyond all praise. I cannot deny but that it has appeared to me quite wonderful the alteration it causes after using it for a few weeks; it excels anything of the kind I ever used, causing a complete metamorphosis; giving the hair a natural curl, and even entirely hiding grey locks. You may depend upon it that it surpasses anything of the kind ever brought before the public : and as to your Hair Dye, I can sell all you can send me, it is so unquestionably good.—l am, Sir, yours faithfully, HENRY VINSON. The Restorative is sold at Is. 6d., 2s. 61., and 4s.per bottle. The Hair Dye, 3s. 6d. and 7s. per case. The larger sizes are a great saving.

We have reason to believe that Her Majesty will summon Parliament to meet for the dispatch of business on the 18th of January next.—Press. It was stated with confidence in Downing-street, on Friday, that Lord Palmerston has determined upon an immediate dissolution, and that the announcement will be made public in the course of a few days.—Express. The Daily News of Saturday says :—" It was stated with confidence in Downing-street yesterday that Lord Palmerston has determined upon an immediate dissolution—that the au nouncement will be made public in the coarse of a few days— and that the new parliament will be called together early in Feb." Apart from any question as to the positive truth of this rumour, we may notice more than one sign of an approach ing dissolution of parliament. The Times of Friday was pleased to given repetition of arguments put forth a day or two ago by the Morning Herald to the effect that nearly the whole debating.talent of the House of Commons was in oppo sition to the Ministry. The Times reckons on a general election, meretylnpurge the house of all its talent, and as the Herald obsertses, to " reduce it to the Wood and Smith level of dulness." In connexion with the subject of this rumour, the Globe of Friday has a conspicuous paragraph announcing a Cabinet meeting at the Foreign-office to-morrow. Lord Stanley is spoken of in Paisley as a probable candidate for the representatoin of that burgh, in the event of a dissolu tion of Parliament,—Greenock Advertiser. The Advertiser says that it is morally certain that an appeal will be made to the country in March. IBY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.] LONDON, Monday Night. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL SIMPSON.

'he Times' Paris correspondent repeats that, of the main (add the complete success of General Canrobert's mission to Sweden, there can be no doubt whatever, and affirms, on anthurity—which he states, if be were free to name, few would hesitate to accept as one of the best, if not the best—that the generals mission was not solely the presentation of the riband and star.of the Legion of Honour, but that it was with a view to an arrangement with the King of Sweden ; and that he has succeeded 'to the satisfaction of his ow 's government, and has concluded a most satisfactory arrangement with reference to the eventualities of the war. —,— The — Paris:correspondents of the Independence Belge and the Emancipation also re-affirm their previous statements as to the success of the mission. The latter says —" As to the Scandinavian povers, their co-operation is a faet placed beyond ,a doubt, and which cannot but be of immense importance when twe consider that S weden alone can put on foot an army of 6,000 go od soldiers, and furnish 200 gun-boats." e Times Paris eorrespondent also repeats his assertions pos iti ve ly, that an autograph letter was addressed by the King of Prussia to the Emperor Alexander, urging terms of peace. The Oat Deutsch Poet states that prodigious exertions were being made to render Nicholaieff impregnable. In different magazines in the Crimea are provisions for eight months. THE FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.

Dr. FRANKLIN is one of the very few legally qualified physi cians who have directed attention to these diseases; from long practical observation of the treatment pursued in the most cele brated institutions of this country and the continent, has had, perhaps, unusual opportunities of witnessing the various pecu liarities relating to the disorders; and having for a number a years devoted his studies almost exclusively to this class of com plaints, he is enabled confidently to undertake their removal in as short a time as is consistent with safety. Dr. F., to distinguish himself from non-qualified men, refers to his qualifications as ; above, and he earnestly cautions the public against a host of gnorant pretenders and rapacious Jew quacks, who infest the arious seaports, and to make strict inquiry before risking life, &c., in the hands of such empirics. A list of pretenders in Liver pool sent on application. Persons at a distance will be minute in the detail of their cases; and no letters from strangers will be replied to unless they con tain by Post-office order or otherwise, when Advice and Medi cines will be sent securely packed from observation or accident. Post-office Orders to be made payable to JOSEPH BrLL M.D. Pamphlet on debility gratis, on receipt of two FRANKLIN, stamps forpostage. RUPTURES.

JACOB TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary and valuable Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from 'the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY. We give a few of the many communications we have received since we have been in England, from those who have experienced the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must have some weight Davies-street, v c i o e n s - v s i t n r c e i e n t g , t h h e e r k p e u l l e i l y i - c s o ci f u i e t r s e g , r s e e a p t l e. ss Gentlemen.—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume rous thanks I have received from various persons who have taken Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be happy to give you testimonials should you require them. I am doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I have seen wadlf produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that, although 1 was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not seen it.—l am, your obedient servant, JOHN JAMIESON. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. FURTHER IMPOSTANTTESTIMONY.—GREATCURE OF FILES. 17, Phelps-street, Walworth, Feb. 22, 1853. Gentlemen,—l was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief. Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained some, and, after taking it a short time, the accurnulatel corrupt matter copiously discharged, and I almost iinmediately obtained relief. 1 still continued its use for a time, and not only found relief, but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely recommend it to all who are similarly affected. Wm. HYDE. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.. _ 8, Ashley-terrace;City-road, London, June 9, 1852.

Loudon, June 10, Y /852. Gentlemen,—My wife has been long afflicted with a nervous complaint, from which she suffered severely. Able physicians and many remedies were tried in vain, but I am happy to inform you that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottles of Old Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla. J. R. PETERSON. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and CO. PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, &C. The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing can exceed their efficacy in this respect.
