Sir William Molesworth, Bart. Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies. The right hon. barpet had been ailing for some little time, but it was only a week ago that the state of his health began to occasion any anxiety to his friends. Dr. Ferguson, Dr, ElliOtson, and Mr. H. C. Johnson were in constant 'attendance upon him in Eaton-place ; but their report was such as to leave little hope of his recovery. His arduous duties at the Colonial-office, and the anxiety of his mind during the momentous period of his official life, principally contributed to impair his health and lead to his premature decease. The late baronet, who was born in 1810, was son of Sir Ars cott Ourry Molesworth, Bart. He represented Cornwall from 1832 to 1837, Leeds from 1837 to 1841, and was first returned for Southwark in Sept. 1845. He was a Radical in politics and was noted for having edited the works of Hobbes. He joined the Coalition Cabinet under the Earl of Aberdeen, as First Commissioner of Works, an office which he continued to hold under Lerd Palmerston, and in July last was made Se cretary for the Colonies, on the dismissal of Lord John Russell. COURT OF PASSAGE. TsE Court of Passage was opened yesterday, in the Nisi Prins Court, St. George's Hall, before E. James, Esq., Asses sor. The business set down for hearing consisted of 1 de murrer, 1 remanet, 95 issues, and 3 writs of inquiry before the Registrar on Thursday morning. Thirty of the cases were disposed of yesterday ; twenty-four of them being settled out of -court. The six which were heard did not involve any pointor principle of public importance. THE CHURCHES OF THE EASE LECTURE LAST NIGHT. 'THE REV. DR. WoLIT delivered a lecture in the Teutonic -hail, last night, on the " Churclm of the East." The interest of the subject and the -fame of the Rev. Doctor, whose re searches in the East have of late formed the topic of much religious and literary discussion, failed to attract a very large, although they did draw a very respectable, audience-: among whom we observed the Rev. 'C. Morrell, the Rev. C.'Wray, the Rev. James Slade, jun., the Rev. Duncan, the Rev. the Priest 'of the Greek Church, Liverpool, the Rev. K. M. Pughe, the Rev. Edward Pearson, &c., &c. The lecturer, who was applauded on his entrance, began by giving a statement as to the condition of the various Churches iu the East which he had visited. Though not .an English man, he said he felt much interest in, and attachment to, the institutions of England, as he had experienced great kindness ' and protection from the officers of the British army and navy. When he first went out, he conceived considerable prejudices against the people with whom he was to come in contact. He had been led to expect that he should meet with none but savages, and barbarians. Experience, however, had shown him the necessity of changing his views on many -of those points. Instead of savages he had found among the Arab and Arme nian Greeks many good Christians. Many - ef his prejudices had been overcome by the intercourse he had held with those parties ; and he owed much of his success to the advice he had received from an Englishman, an officer of the Turkish contingent in the present war. That gentleman, understanding that the lecturer was about to proceed on alecturing mission, had again offered him council. He cautioned him, in the present temper of - the public, not to run counter to the popular feeling. His friend—Colonel Mitchell, the hero of the Kaffir war—advised him not to bring the subject of the good he had experienced in the Ctirnea, and other quarters of the Russian empire, prominently forward. He intended, however, to show the many kindnesses and comforting assurances he had met in the Greek Church in Bakshiserai, in Simpheropol, and in SebaStopol; but this would form the subject of his second lecture. He had found in these quarters great and gross ignorance among -the monks who professed to teach the people; but the greatest amount of good•he had found in the labours of the Bible Society, by distributing the Bible in the native tongues of the different countries. After a eulogium °Lithe benefits conferred by this societyand its labours, he proceeded to give an,outline of the progress of Christianity in the various countries of Asia. It might be remarked, he said, that the Christianity of those parts was not an enlightened Chris tianity; but look at-some of our own manufacturing districts, look at Somersetshire even, and there we will find that the Christianity of those districts is not of a greatly more enlight ened . character than that of the poor and ignorant Asiatics. He quoted illustrations of this from the religious maxims of -some of the Greek priests who are.residont in the neighbour .hood of Sinai and Mount Horeb. In the Greek Church and 'nations he had found many of the most interesting features which he had met with in any church or among any people. The Greek people to this day, he said, are greatly attached to the study of literature and of theology, and to promote this .they have sent their children to the universities of Germany. A nation so attached to literature cannot be truly .represented as a nation of barbarians. How were the .missionaries of the Church Missionary and other similar societies received by the Greek people.?—with open arms. At Jerusalem, and in other places, this was manifested on many occasions. The Greeks had showed themselves willing to profit by the exertions made for their benefit. This was chiefly owing to the judgment of Josiah Pratt, who had the management of the Church Missionary Society, who advised that controversy should not be attempted among them, and that they should not be sought to be converted. to the Pro testant Church. The same course had been found suitable with the Armenians. The lecturer declared his belief, founded on etymological analogy, that the Greek Orpheus is identical with the Hebrew Abraham. He proceeded to trace, through etymological analogy, the success of the Christian missions in various places of Armenia, and in the neigh bourhood of the Black and Caspian Seas. At Bokhara and i Ispahan, the people are taught the reading of the Bible in their native tongue. The Armenians gave the lecturer every assist ance in establishing schools. He gave an outline of a sermon ' which he.had heard from an Armenian bishop in Sebastopol, in the-ear 1825. In this the Armenian prelate inculcated the leading features of the Christian doctrines ; above all, he preached -Christ crucified for sinners. This bishop was eighty years of.age, and dwelt on the statement that, if tears can wipe away sin, the blood of Christ alone can wipe away both tears and sin. The Armenians are represented as a set of savages—this is not true. They have been benefited by the British and Foreign Bible Society and by the Church Mis sionary Society. But they have been damaged by what ? By the establishment of the Bishopric of Jerusalem,. sanc tioned by the Church of England. While life was granted to ' him, he (Dr. Wolff) would never cease to denounce the estab lishment of that bishopric. That bishopric had been the means of causing disagreement and suspicion among the Armenians and -Greeks, by calling in the &mans of the Sultan. One man, a good man, and a great man in this country, Lord Shaftesbury, had been instrumental in obtain ing the settlement of this bishopric ; but a man may be a great man in London, and a great man in Liverpool, and only an old woman at Aleppo. (A laugh.) He would propose the total extinction of the bishopric of Jerusalem, which had been productive of nothing but strife and intolerance. The poor Greeks in that quarter were oppressed by the Mahomedans, and trepanned by the priests of the Church of Rome, who gave them money in the first instance when they professed their adherence to the Latin Church; this allowance being broken off, they came to those belonging to the Church of England, and offered to become of the same religion as the King of England, if the money were continued to them. (Laughter.) These were the parties who were set down in the printed Reports as converts to the Protestant Cnurch ; he for one wished the Church much good of such converts. For his own part he had no faith in them. His next lecture, to be given in the same place to-morrow evening, would he said treat further of the subject of the Eastern Churches. At the conclusion, the lecturer was warmly applauded. CORONER'S INQIIEST. — An inquest was held yesterday. be fore P. F. Curry, Esq., borough coroner, on the body of John Cook, aged 36, a coach-wheel maker, residing in 22, Baptist street. The wife of the deceased stated that her husband had complained of a pain in his heart and side for some time prior to his death. He had been supplied with some " stuff', by Mr. Wood, herb-doctor, who resides in Richmond-row. The deceased was afflicted with a cough. He worked for the last time on Wednesday last. On Thursday morning the witness went to Mr. Wood's, and told him that the deceased was much worse. He desired her to call in a medical man, but requested her not to say anything about deceased having had medicine from him. Witness called in Dr. Thomson, who came and saw the " stuff," in the bottle, which was now produced, and he sealed it up, and gave it to her again. Dr. Thomson gave him a parish note for the Dispensary. She asked if the deceasedwas dangerous ? and he replied, " Yes, very !" The doctor called twice on Thursday, and on Friday, about one o'clock, he said deceased might live two or three hours. He died about three o'clock in the afternoon. On Wednesday night the deceased was taken very ill with vomitting, and threw up a great deal of blood. On Thursday and Thursday night he threw up blood again. —Dr. Thomson stated that he was called to see the deceased about noon on Thursday, and found him throwing up blood. He died about three o'clock on Friday. Witness wasunable to account for the cause of death. He made a post mortem examination of the body since, and found death to have resulted from disease of the heart from natural causes. The disease of the heart was very extensive, and other organs of the body were also diseased. It did not appear from the evidence what the " stuff" as it was called, which was contained in the bottle, consisted of; but it was stated to contain no mineral substance. It was stated that the mixture was that of an infusion of some herb with cayenne pepper.—The coroner said the suspicion in this case arose from the fact of the man being taken so alarmingly ill so soon after taking the " stuff ;" but it did not appear there was any thing wrong in it. He was of opinion that many cures were effected by the use of herbs when properly and scientifically used. He saw it stated in one of the papers that the man had " bolted," but he did not see why he should have done so.— The jury returned a verdict of Died from disease of the heart, brought on by natural causes," THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD LIVERPOOL BOROUGH SESSIONS. THE Michaelmas Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the Borough of Liverpool commenced yesterday, in the Crown Court, St. George's Hall, before Gilbert Henderson, Esq., Recorder.

The usual proclamation against immorality and vice having been read, — The learned RECORDER. said,—Gentlemen of the Grand Jury. there is but little to remark on the subject of the present calendar, which contains the names of fifty-five prisoners. All the cases are of a very ordinary description, and none of them is such as to call for special observation. There are no cases of house-breaking to inquire into, nor any cases of very extensive plunder. There are several of that description for which Liverpool has, of late, obtained an unenviable celebrity. Two of them are cases in which the knife has been used; and one, a case in which a man was followed through several streets by two other men in the dead of the night, and assaulted in so severe and dangerous a manner that he has lost the sight of an eye. Most of the other cases, as I have already stated, are of att ordinary nature, and do not call for observation. One of the most important events which have taken place since we last met, has been the occupation of the new Borough Gaol, to which, through the energy of the Go vernor, all the prisoners havebeen removed, although the houses for the accommodation of the warders and other servants of the establishment have not yet been quite completed. The occu pation of the new gaol is important in many particulars. It affords room for the detention of 890 prisoners ; these will, through the mere extensive accommodation which the gaol affords, be each lodged separately, and they will thus avoid the evil, or worse contamination of two prisoners occupying the same sleeping-room. By the operation of the system of separate confinement, it is hoped some progress may be made in reducing the large number of criminals who infest our streets. 'Courts may inquire into and award punishment to crime, and this may be in some degree a means of repressing crime, and checking the progress of vice ; but it is evident that, for the effective removal of the evil, other and a different class of agencies must be used. In reference to this, I notice • the public loss which this town has sustained in the removal of an eminent and good man—l mean the revered rector, who, for half-a-century and upwards, was engaged in the pro ,seoution of every good work, and in whom the cause of virtue, of charity, and of religion, has met with a most severe loss. -He was admirably gifted by nature to command respect, and by his upright and honourable conduct he secured universal affection. He has now been removed from us personally, but -his good works and their fruits still remain with us, and by the influence of their example will continue to promote the cause of virtue. He (the Recorder) would offer no further remarks, but dismiss the grand Jury to their duties. The Court then proceeded with the trial of prisoners. Mary Ann Hayes was-convicted of stealing a pair of boots, the property:of Richard Crossley, and another pair the pro perty of John Pentony. She was sentenced to be imprisoned seven months.—Mary-Anne Vernon was found guilty of steal ing 36 yards of gingham from Henry Davies, and sentenced to be imprisoned nine months.—Mary Ann Driscoll was found guilty of stealing £6 14s. from the person of Jeremiah -Lynch, and was ordered to be imprisoned twelve months.—Margaret Flanigan, charged-with stealing a counterpane from the house of Joseph Lupton, was convicted and sentenced to four years' penal servitude.—James Higginson, or Dixon, was convicted of stealing a handkerchief from Thomas Scheirer, and sen tenced to four years' penal servitude.—Sarah Dun, charged with stealing a watch from the person of John Reeves, was found guilty and sentenced to be imprisoned for four months.— Ellen Davies pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing a shawl, the property of William Taylor, and-was ordered to be imprisoned for eight months.—Thomas -Jones -was convicted of stealing two coats, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment.—George Donohoe, convicted of stealing 14s. from the person of Dennis Cronier, was sentenced to be im prisoned for ,nine months.—Mary McMahon, charged with stealing a purse and £39 from the person of Samuel Meaghan, was discharged.—Thomas Wilson, charged with stealing a watch from • Sylvester Lewis, was convicted and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. —Peter Griffin pleaded guilty to a charge of -stealing a firkin of butter, the property of Wil liam Windsor. Sentence deferred.-IVilliam Prendergrast pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a coat and three dia monds, the property of John Bacon. Sentence deferred. MUSIC A AID THE DRAMA. AT LEE THEATRE-ROYAL, Mrs. F. German Reed, late Miss Priscilla Horton, has been, in company with her husband, delighting select and intelligent rather than very numerous audiences with an entertainment admirably suited to display the vimcity and versatility of the charming vocalist and actress. It is an entertainment in which the lady plays several parts, in the same manner as the elder Mathews was in the habit of doing in days of old, when the march of intellect had not brought the world acquainted with so many prodigies of wit and talent as now " strut and fret" their brief hour upon the stage. The acting and singing of this lady are so well known to the play-going world as to require no eulogium from us; her merits in these respects have been ratified by a delighted public ; and little remains for us to do beyond ex pressing the grateful satisfaction we experienced in listening to her-exquisite warbling of " The murmur of the Shell," and her happy and varied yet all clever personations of Mrs. Myrtle and Miss Snowberry ; of Mr. Perky Primrose and Sir Johnquil. The other characters introduced by her are also cleverly illustrative and most artistically delineated. Mr. Reed is a judicious accompanist on the piano, and by their united talents the lady and gentleman place before their audience a mirth-provoking and interesting performance. AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, the celebrated tra gedienne, Miss Cushman, has been.performing during the past week,in the course of which she has given a series of her favourite characters, including one or two not so familiarly known.by her performance of them in the provinces. Among these was the character of Queen Catherine, in Shakspeare's noble play of " Henry VIII ;" and Lady Macbeth. Her personation of the former wrs given on Wednesday evening, and although in the early portions of the performance her port and bearing were queenly and impressive, as well as striking and suggestive, the latter seems never scarcely equal to what might have been expected from an artiste of her re putation and deservedly acknowledged talent. In the dying scene particularly, it appeared to us that she mistook the nature of the part, making it almost exclusively a reflex and a harrowingly powerful one of physical pain, instead of, as we have been led to regard the character, one of intense mental agony. The indication of bodily suffering, as delineated by Miss Cushman, was great, vigorous, and truthful ; minute in detail and broad in generalised effect. As Lady Macbeth she was much more at home than in the patient, long-suffer ing, and much-loving Queen. Her Lady Macbeth was energetic to the degree of grandeur ; and in the sleep-walking scene she was impressive and original. Of the other per formers in these two fine dramas, charity induces us to be silent,—but to repress the declaration of dissatisfaction in respect to Mr. Loraine's Macbeth and Cardinal Wolsey, is an effort of no ordinary self-denial. Miss Edith Heraud, on Wednesday evening, as Donna Violante in the Wonder, elicited well-deserved applause. This young lady makes a good appearance, and promises still better. At the same house, Mr. Wright, the favourite comedian, commenced an engagement last night, appearing as Paul Pry in the play of that name, and as Tristram Sappy in" Deaf as a Post." AT THE CONCERT HALL, LORD NELSON-STREET, Madame Anna Thillon, Mr. Augustus Braham, and Mr. Henry Drayton, together with Mr. George Case, the celebrated performer on the concertina, are to give a concert this evening, and on each of the evenings of the week except Saturday. The programme is varied and attractive, and the vocalists of high standing. The present is - Madame Anna Thillon's farewell visit to Liverpool. COURT AND FASHION. THE Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary of Cam= bridge, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, Lord Mande ville, Lord Otho Fitzgerald, Lord and Lady Newport, Lord Canterbury, and Col. Parker, who have been spending the week at Heaton-hall, near Prestwitch, with the Earl and Countess of Wilton, visited Manchester, and spent some time at Mr. Grundy's Repository of Art, Royal Exchange-street, ou Friday. The distinguished visitors afterwards went through the silk manufactory of Mr. Houldsworth, in Portland-street. They were accompanied by the Earl and Countess of Wilton. HEE MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM BALMORAL.—Her Majesty and suite left Balmoral on Tuesday morning at half-past eight o'clock, and posted by Bander and Aboyne to Banchory. The royal train left Banchory at eight minutes past twelve, and arrived as the Ferry-hill station of the Aberdeen railway at 38 minutes after twelve. Her Majesty arrived at Stone liFeti at 12 minutes after one, and had luncheon ; left at 39 minutes after one, and reached Forfar at 53 minutes after two Perth at 58 minutes after three, and Sti r li ng a t 5 7 m i nutes ' after four. At these stations there were large assemblages, military bands, and guards of honou r , an d a t Sti r li ng the depot of the 42nd were drawn up to rece i ve H er M a j esty. The train left Stirling at two minutes past five, and arrived at Edinburgh at a quarter after six—so punctual to the time table that the mean variation was only one minute in 176 miles. Her Majesty was received at St. Margaret's station, Edinburgh, by the Duke of Buccleuch, Major-general Vis count Melville, &c. The royal party drove in a succession of close carriages to Holyrood Palace, amid the cheering of a considerable assemblage. In the vestibule there Her Majesty was received by the Duke of Hamilton, the Lord Provost &c. The park was lined by the 7th Dragoon Guards, the Edin. burghshire and 2nd Lanarkshire Militia, and the 72nd and 92nd Highland Depots. A salute was fired from the castle guns on the Queen's arrival. On Wednesday morning, Her Majesty left St. Margaret's station, Edinburgh, at a qua r t er before eight o'clock. Besides the royal carriage, the train con sisted of an engine and tender, two first-class carriages for servants, pages, and other attendants, family carriage for gentlemen of the suite, first-class carriage for directors and the press, and two carriage trucks. Leaving St. Margaret's station, the train passed Portobello at 7 50, Inveresk at 7 55, and arrived at Dunbar at 8 26, where there was a.pause of five minutes to take water into the engine. At Berwyk-upon- Tweed, where the train arrived at a quarter past nine, there was a slight stoppage for the purpose of changing the engine. At five minute s b e f ore eleven o'clock the train reached the station of Newcastle- u pon-Tyne. The engine having been changed, the t ra i n p rocee d e d on its course, and did not again stop until its arrival at Darlington at twelve. Water having been supplied to the engine, the train proceeded southward, and arrived at York at five minutes after one, where the royal party stopped to lun c h eon . After a lapse of 35 minutes, the royal train again proceeded on its way to the metropolis. Her Majesty arrived at th e Ki ng ' s - cr oss station at half-past six. Several carriages were in attendance, and the royal party im mediately after leaving the train proceeded to Windsor. The royal children, who have been staying at Osborne during Her Majesty's absence in Scotland, left on Wednesday for London, P.RoDucE.---For Sugar there has been a better feeling, but the demand has been checked by the stringency of the Money-market. For Coffee full prices have been obtained. In Tea business has been done to some extent for common Congous at previous rates. For Rice but little • demand, and prices have declined 3d. per cwt. Rum has advanced 2d. to 3d. per gallon. Palm Oil in good demand. In Tallow a large business has been done at 625. 6d. to 655. for Petersburg Y.C. To•DAY, with the limited supply of Sugar at market, the busness was confined to 50 hhds. Demerara at 425. 6d. to 435. 9d., and 150 bags Cossipore at 545.; but an indi rect parcel of 150 tons Mauritius has been sold to arrive at 435. 41d. per cwt. There is nothing to report in Molasses. Rum continues in good request, 70 pun cheons Jamaica having realised very full rates, and a cargo of Havana 2s. 6d. per wet gallon. We have no sales to notice in Coffee, and of Cocoa only 45 bags Bahia at 425. per . cwt. The Tea market con tinues steady, and common Congou is firm at the quotations of last week. 1,600 bags Madras Rice, chiefly all faults, have been disposed of at 15s. per cwt. for sound. At auction, GO tons St. Domingo Logwood brought £5 17s. 6d. to £6 per ton. WooL.---We have again a very quiet week to report in the Wool market, the uneasy feeling as regards the corn and money markets tending to check all specu lative demand, and inducing buyers to confine their operations entirely to immediate and pressing wants ; and although we do not quote any material reduction as yet in prices generally, there is no doubt that to force sales lower, prices would have to be submitted to. At the first public sale of the present series which commenced on Thursday last, owing to the announce ment of another rise in the rate of discount by the Bank of England, a reduction of ld. to 1 3 / 4 d. per lb. was experienced on last sale prices. Imports for the week consist of 1,005 bales East India, 155 Portugal, 18 Mediterranean, 605 Scotch, 14 Coastwise, and 17 Irish.---Total, 1,842 bales. METALS.---Our Pig Iron market has improved considerably to-day, in consequence of the reported removal of duty on Iron into France, and 775. 6d. has been paid for warrants. Manufactured Iron continues firm in price, and in fair demand. Other Metals without change. C 031..113: CLIL and IiONETARF MONDAY NIGHT. THE money-market during the week has been passing through another phase of the crisis which many have feared would lead to a panic, but, notwith standing the causes in operation---increased rates of interest, ill defined apprehensions, and preparations for the payment of an instalment on the Turkish loan.-- the fluctuations in the value of the public funds have been comparatively slight. In the early part of the week the market was firm, but on Thursday an announcement was made that the bank directors had increased their minimum rate of discount to 6 per cent. on bills within 60 days, and to 7 per cent. on those of longer date, though houses must be hard pressed to discount long bills at this extravagant rate, in the face of expectations that a reaction cannot be far distant. The effect on the Funds was a decline of rather more than half per cent., but on Saturday they rallied, and on the same day the . Marco Polo and the Mermaid arrived in Liverpool with gold to the amount of nearly a million, a circumstance which had a sensible effect in restoring public confidence. The Bank returns, published in the London Gazette on Friday, showed another decrease of about half a million in the stock of bullion, accompanied with an increase in the notes in circulation of £356,810, which together almost make up the decrease in the reserve of notes unemployed of £915,980. The balance, however, is still above four and a half millions, so that the narrow margin which led to the interference of the Government in 1847 has not yet been reached. The return shows a decrease in public deposits of £2,746,673, and also in the rest of £534,549, owing to the payments of dividends, so that the decrease in bullion is more than accounted for ; whilst on the other hand there is a decrease in private securities of £510,847, and an increase of private deposits of £1,068,282. Such a combination of changes to be considered otherwise than of a favourable nature, would betoken a desire to seek for causes of dis quietude, and goes far to prove that the operations of the bank directors are influenced solely by circum stances totally independent of home affairs, or con fidence in commercial security. The movement has, however, had it effect, and even in this to wn w e ha v e heard oelong dated bills being discounted at as high a rate as 8.-} per cent.; and it is stated, that on Satur day a London merchant of good standing had to pay 11 per cent. for the discount of a bill of £l,OOO having six months to run. At Manchester trade has been very dull and prices have given way, the market being affected by the high rate of discount, and the unwillingness to give orders. The Woollen trade has been without ani mation, though a moderate amount of business is doing in Whiter goods. The Hosiery trade is fairly supported, owing to the demands for America, and prices are without alteration. The Lace trade is dull, but not lower. The Corn markets, though lately rising, seem to have reached the maximum, at least for the present, and the home growers bringing forward liberal sup plies, no alteration was made to-day in the quotations of last week. A change in the law is about to take effect which in its bearing on the internal operations of English commerce is likely to prove very important. To morrow, the Summary Procedure on Bills of Exchange Act is to come into operation. The object was to remove all means of frivolous or fictitious defences to actions on bills and promissory notes, and the decisive character of its provisions renders it necessary that every trader should be well apprised of them. A new form of writ of summons is to be issued, after which the plaintiff may in twelve days, unless leave to defend the action be meanwhile obtained, proceed to judgment and execution. Leave to appear is to be granted only on the defendant paying the amount of the claim into court, or upon satisfactory affidavits disclosing a legal or equitable defence, or the necessity for the holder to prove consideration, or such other facts and on such terms as to security as to the judge may seem fit. One summons may be made to include all the parties to the bill. The act applies exclusively to England and Wales, and not to Ireland or Scotland. According to the statistics of ships entered inward, the port of London presents an increase of 27 vessels and 28,512 tons, the difference between 629 vessels, with 337,936 tons, in 1854, and 656 vessels, with 366,448 tons, in 1855. In the case of Liverpool there is an increase of 8 vessels and 29,653 tons, the arrivals in the former period having been 195 vessels, with 115,522 tons, and 203 vessels, 145,175 tons. The arrivals from Madras, the Philippine Islands, and the Cape of Good Hope show the greatest augmentation. The statistics of vessels cleared outward exhibit in the case of the port of London a decrease of 81 vessels, but an increase of 6,023 tons, the departures for the respective periods having been 720 vessels, with 337,791 tons, and 539 vessels, with 343,814 tons. The return for Liverpool shows a decrease of 48 ves sels and 77,310 tons, the difference between 316 vessels, with 224,964 tons, and 364 vessels, with 302,274 tons. The great decrease in departures was to New South Wales, New Zealand, and the Cape of Good Hope. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 13th of October gives the following results, when compared with the previous week : Public Deposits Other Deposits Rest... ... £4,359,851; Decrease... £2,746,673 11,905,925 ; Increase ... 1,068,282 3,147,899 ; Decrease... 534,549 On the other side of the account : Government Securities.. £10,556,040; Decrease... £857,103 Other Securities 19,280,446; Decrease... 915,980 Notes unemployed ....... 4,557,490; Decrease... 510,847 The amount of notes in circulation is £20,648,365, being an increase of £356,810, and the stock of bullion in both departments is £11,752,421, showing a decrease of £526,860, when compared with the preceding return.

There has been a partial recovery from this decline, and some stock has been taken by the public. The market to-day is very quiet, with prices again drooping a little. Local stocks maintain their full prices, and even show an upward inclination. The prices of this day are—Caledonians, 29 2 9; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 741 1 1 Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport, 134 : London Stock, 914 if-I-1; Ditto Eighths, ld ; Sheffield Stock, 211; n t 1 p 1-16 r Midl s and Stock, 634 ic South Eastern, e 7 9 NorthEastern, h v eish iz n,d Berwick; R 4 o p y e a r l 3 -srarle7 ; 0 ; Dutch Rs, Insurance, Ip. COTTON.—The amount of business done up to Thursday was to a fair extent, and had it not been for the increase in the rate of discount, there would )10 doubt have been some improvement in prices. The sales for the week up to Friday reached 54,100, of which 5,090 were taken on speculation, and 4,990 for export, leaving 44,020 for the trade. To -DAY, the advices by the America were received, advising lower rates on the other side, but though it had a depressing effect on business here, quotations remain unaltered. The sales were 5,000 bales, including 1,000 for specu lation and export, and the market at the close was without animation.

MANCHESTER.—AIthough a further advance in their rate of discount by the Bank of England was thought probable, the step that was taken on Thursday was quite unlocked for, and on its becoming known a complete stop was put to all transactions in this market. It was at once thought that a considerable impediment to the ordinary course of business transactions must arise, and especially so if the movement had the effect of causing extreme measures to be adopted by the local banks. Since Friday, although there was very little business doing, less uneasiness was manifested, and seeing the sound basis on which commercial credit rests at the present time, the unlooked-for measure seemed to be regarded with less apprehension, although great inconvenience must inevi tably be experienced. At the beginning of the week rather more animation was observable in the market, and as cotton was somewhat dearer, buyers were less disposed to hold back. On Tuesday this seemed changed again, and there was a very lifeless market, any attempt to improve the position here by the aid of the Liverpool cotton market proving futile, in the face of large future supplies of the raw material, dear money, and rising quotations for grain. The business of the day was restricted, and no improvement existed either in demand or prices —the latter being irregular, and somewhat lower. The stocks of either cloths or yarns do not accumulate very rapidly, and consequently there is no very extreme pressure of either on the market. A slight extra concession beyond the general reduction seems to be effective in obtaining purchasers, and although the market has a very stagnant appearance, stocks accumulate to a more limited extent than would be supposed. Some large sales of skirtings may be noted this week, as was also the case last; in both instances at low prices. The Greek houses are still doing very little, their accounts being anything but favourable. For Germany there is little doing ; whilst the India accounts are not of a nature to increase the operations for the East.—Manchester Courier. ROCHDALE.—A very inanimate market considering the time of the year, and the merchants show no disposition to purchase at present. The wool market is much the same as it has been for some weeks back. HUDDERSFIELD.—A very flat market, and no prospect of any amendment for the present; the state of the money market, and the advance in the price of wheat, being sufficient to account for the state of things at present observable. BRADFORD.—WooI: This market is in better supply than for several months past, and prices in favour of the buyers. Yarns : This branch of trade has been a profitless one for a long time, in proof of which many spinne rs d ur i ng th e pas t and present week have commenced working short time. The price of wool has ruled so high that the margin left has not covered the cost of converting into yarns. Pieces : The attendance of merchants at market is below an average ; business may be termed quiet, buyers generally confining their purchases to immediate wants. NOTTINGIIAM.—The improvement in the lace trade, noticed last week, continues for plain goods and a few descriptions of fancy articles, but the generality of houses engaged in the fancy trade complain of inactivity. Low priced articles in hosiery goods are chiefly sought for, while wrought or fashioned hose are in but little demand. Not much doing in yarns, and prices irregular. LATEST THE WAR. VIENNA, Sunday evening. The Oesterreichisclie Correspondenz asserts, on the au thority of , a telegraphic communication from Odessa of the 17th, that at the same time'that the allied fleets attacked Kin burn, 30,000 men were landed on the Peninsula of Tendra. Nothing certain was known of the destination of these troops. Tendra is a long spit of land a little west of Perekop. THE CAPTURE OF KINBURN. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Oct. 20. Lord Clarendon has received this day the following intelli gence from Her Majesty's Charg6 d'Affaires at Vienna, dated Oct. 19 : The allied fleets bombarded the three forts of Kinburn on the 17th. The garrison of 1,500 men, and 70 gulls, under Gen. Konovitch, capitulated, and are sent prisoners to Con stantinople. Loss of the Allies unimportant. Russian loss 120 men. The forts have been taken possession of by the Allies. The fleets are at anchor at the entrance of the Dnieper. The following telegraphic message from Rear-Admiral Sir E. Lyons was received at the Admiralty on Saturday evening : - OFF TEE MOUTH OF TILE DNIEPER ; OCt. 17. The three forts on the Kinburn Spit, mounting upwards of 70 guns, and garisoned by 1,300 men, under Gen. Konovitch, have this day capitulated to the allied forces. The day before yesterday a flotilla of gun-vessels forced the entrance into the Dnieper, and the allied troops landed on the spit to the southward of the forts ; thus, by their simultaneous operation, the retreat of the garrison, and the arrival of reinforcements were effectually cut oft; so that the forts,being bombarded to-day by the mortar-vessels, gun-vessels, and French floating batteries, and being closely cannonaded by the steam line-of-battle ships and frigates (having only two feet of water under their keels), were soon obliged to surrender. The casualties in the fleet were very few, but the enemy had 45 killed and 130 wounded. A steam squadron, under the orders of Rear-Admirals Stewart and Pellion, lie at anchor in the Dnieper, and command the entrance to Nicholaieff and Kherson. The forts are occupied by the allied troops. The prisoners will be sent to Constantinople immediately. THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. ST. PETERSBURG, OCt. 18. The fortress of Kinburn resisted the allies by a very heavy fire up to the 17th. At noon on that day the fire ceased, and at 3 p.m. the enemy (the allies) entered the place. 13p to the 17th there was nothing new in the Crimea. FRENCH ACCOUNT. The Minister of Marine has received the following despatches from Admiral Bruat KINBURN, Oct. 17. The fort of Kinburn and the new works constructed on the peninsula are in our possession. Our loss is unimportant. (Second Despatch.). - ICxNurraN, Oct. 17. On the morning of the 14th of October, the allied squadrons quitted the roads of Odessa, as soon as the strong westerly winds, which had impeded their operations ever since the Bth, had ceased. On the same evening they anchored off Kinburn. In the night four French gunboats— La Tirailleuse, la Stridente, la Meurtriere, and la Mutine, despatched by Rear- Admiral Pellion under the orders of Lieutenant Allemand, of the Cacique, with five English gunboats, passed the Strait of Oczakoff, and entered the Dnieper. On the 15th, at daybreak, the troops were landed at about 4,500 metres to the south of the place. In the afternoon the mortarboats commenced their fire, but were compelled to sus pend it when night closed in, on account of the swell, which rendered their range uncertain. The day of the 16th was nearly lost to us, the wind having again changed to the south-west. The troops were engaged in intrenching themselves, and making a reconnaissance to the south. The gunboats in the Dnieper only were able to annoy the place by their fire. The wind having gone round to the north during the night, Admiral Lyons and myself have been engaged since this morn ing (the 17th) in carrying into execution the plan of attack we had arranged on the previous evening, according to the sound ings taken by Captain Spratt, of the Spitfire, and Lieutenant Clone, of the Brandon, assisted by MM. Ploix and Manen hydrographic engineers. At twenty minutes past nine o'clock the floating batteries La Devastation, La Lave, and La Ton nante opened their fire. The success they obtained during the day fulfills every hope of the Emperor. The rampart against which they directed their fire soon presented practicable breaches on several points. • The French and English mortarboats opened their fire at a quarter to ten o'clock ; their aim, rectified by signals from the advice-boats, was admirably directed. I attribute to them a great part in the speedy surrender of the fort. Five French gunboats, la Grenade, la Fleche, la Mitraille, la Flamme, and l'Alarme, supported by six English gunboats, took up their position almost at the same time as the mortar vessels. Their ricochetting fire told with effect on the guns that were opposed to our floating batteries. As soon as the fire from the fort slackened, our gunboats, on a signal from the captain of la Grenade, M. Jaureguiberry, were moved up to the line of floating batteries. They were accompanied in this movement by the English gunboats. Precisely at noon the steamers, followed by the frigates, corvettes, and advice-boats, were got under way. The steamers formed in line, anchored in 26-feet water, with their broad sides to the forts, and at a distance of 1,600 metres from them. At the same moment six English frigates, led by Rear-Admiral Stewart, and three French frigates, L'Asmodee, Le Cacique, and Le Sane, under the orders of Rear-Admiral Pellion, entered the Strait of Oczakofr e to take the forts of Kinburn in reverse. The English ship Hannibal advanced to the middle of the strait. General Bazahie and General Spencer sent forward their skirmishers and field-pieces to about 400'metres from the place. These bold manoeuvres, and the imposing front presented by the nine French and English vessels, in close line, broad side on, thundering from all their guns, had a decisive effect. At 35 minutes after 1, observing that the fort of Kin burn had ceased to fire, although the batteries on the north continued to serve their mortars, Admiral Lyons and myself thought it right to respect the courage of the brave men we • were fighting • we therefore made the signal t o cease f i ring, and hoisted a flag of truce, at the same time sending on shore a Frenchand English boat. -• The forts accepted the capitulation offered. The garrison surrendered themselves prisoners, and were allowed to march out of the place with the honours of war. The Russian works are now occupied by our troops. By the terms of the capitulation it was agreed that the place should be given up to us in the state in which it was at the moment of surrender. We have there fore taken possession of all the stores and ammunition of the enemy. Admiral Lyons and myself sent surgeons from both squadrons to attend to the wounded of the garrison, about 60 in ivinber. There are from 1,200 to 1,500 prisoners. We intend to organize here a permanent establishment. The Moiziteur also contains the following note on Kin burn : The waters of the Bug and the Dnieper fall into the sea by a single channel. After forming a lake, in which they mingle, the two rivers run together between Oczakoff to the north and Kinburn to the south, in a narrow channel of varying depth, the -minimum being 15 feet, much nearer to Kinburn than to Oczakoff. The latter place, on the right bank, is built on the summit of a cliff of moderate height, advancing in a sharp angle straight to the south, and projecting a low point, on which there is an ancient fort of Genoese construction, in bad condition. A battery of nine guns of large calibre, recently constructed beyond the channel and enfilading it, but at a long range, completes the defence on this side, without presenting any serious obstacle. It is on the left bank, upon the tongue of sand formed by the alluvial deposits of both rivers, that the citadel of Kinburn is built. It commands the passage in both directions, up and down, forming, in a word, the only defence of the mouth of the Dnieper. _ _ The fortress of Kinburn is a hornwork of masonry with parapets of earth, surrounded by a ditch where it is not washed by the sea, containing barracks and other buildings, of which the roofs and chimneys can be seen above the ram parts. It is armed on every face, presenting one tier of guns in covered casemates, with a battery above them ; it mounts in all about 60 cannon, of which half fire seawards from the S.E to the N.N.W. Kinburn contained a garrison of 2,000 men, without reckon ing the military colonists established outside on the walls in a regularly-built village, to the south, and about a cannon shot from the place. Two new batteries have been recently built to the north-east of the fortress. [BY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS-:1 LONDON, Monday Night. A meeting of Cabinet Ministers was held at the War De partment to-day. There were present, Lord Panmare, Lord Palmerston Lord Granville, Sir G. Grey, and Sir C. Wood. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office this afternoon. With the exception of Sir W. Molesworth's death, at noon to-day, there is no news of importance. The'rumours in the Crimean and Continental letters, as to the future movements of the Allies, are unworthy of notice. THE WAR. The Times has received its letters from the Camp of the Allied Armies on the Tchernaya, to the 9th inclusive :—The only points of interest are, that the Russians are still busy in throwing up works on every available spot of the north side of the harbour. The Allies continued road making and dril ling. The Highlanders are to winter on the spot where they are. The Times' Paris correspondent writes :—Private letters from officers in the French army state that the Russians will avoid as much as possible giving battle in or out of their in trenched positions. Some of the officers are even of the opinion that Prince Gortschakoff, seeing no possibility of keeping his communications open and regularly receiving supplies, was actually preparing to evacuate the Crimea. A confidential letter addressed by the Russian General-in• Chief to Prince Paskiewitch at Warsaw, is said to mention such a movement as probable, if not unavoidable.

GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Two men, named Patrick Furlong and John Clark, were yesterday brought before the police court, charged with assaulting and robbing a butcher, named James Quin, in Blackstock-street, on Sunday night, about half-past eleven o'clock. From the statement of Quin, it appeared that, as he was proceeding along the street, at the time mentioned, he was suddenly jostled by some one or other, and before he could ascertain anything about the matter, he was seized by the cravat and nearly choked. By this means he was rendered unable to speak, and was made nearly insen sible. While in this condition his pocket was rifled, and one pound five shillings taken out of it. The prisoners, he was sure, were of the party who attacked him ; but there were also two others who had not been apprehended. The prose cutor was quite sober at the time. The case was remanded till this day, to afford time to bring forward evidence.
