MEETING LAST NIGHT. TILE ANNUAL MEETING of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was, held in the lecture-hall of the Collegiate Institution, last night. The chair was occupied by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester, and on the platform were also the following gentlemen : Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Melbourne; T. B. Horsfall, Esq., M.P. ; Revds. R. Caldwell, India ; Dr. Taylor ; Dr. Carpenter ; J. Tobin : T. L. Pain ; G. W. Warr ; J. Crump ; J. Hassall ; J. North; W. T. Newenham ; J. H. Jones ; Dr. Hume • J. Haggitt ; A. Knox ; T. C.

Blakey ; R. V. Sheldon ; T. Leigh ; Lingard ; Titterton ;H. Jones. Charles Groves, Esq., Edward Jones, Esq., J. K. Rounthwaite, Esq., H. J. 'Webster, and R. A. Payne, Esq. The meeting was attended by a numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. The proceedings were commenced by prayer, by the Rev. G.W.Warr, the local secretary, after which The LORD Baum. of CHESTER rose, and afterreferringto the feelings of pleasure with which he usually presided at the meet ings of this society, he said, but on this occasion those feelings , are mingled with sentiments of a very sad and deep regret, in which lam sure that all of you here share,—l refer to the loss that we have all sustained by the death of the Venerable Archdeacon of Liverpool. I say all sustained—for I cannot but look at his death, even at his great age, as a great public loss. No doubt it was a loss, a heavy loss to his own family; it is a loss to the circle of his private friends. I myself have lost a most kind personal friend, and a most valuable assistant to me in the superintendence of the diocese. But beyond those narrow and limited relations in which he stood to dif ferent parties, I am sure you will feel that it is nothing more than the simple truth or case without exaggeration, when I say that his death is a loss to the whole town of Liverpool. It has been felt to be so already. The public demonstrations, the public sense of respectful sorrow that were made in every part of the town, as soon as ever the sad event of his death became known, are in themselves a full proof of general esti mation in which his public services were so deservedly and pro perly held. And let me say that that tribute of respect which was paid on Saturday so spontaneously to his memory reflects honour both to the old man who has gone to his rest full of years and full of respect, and reflects honour on the good and kind people of Liverpool, who have shown in so marked a manner that they know how to estimate and valne a character of solid and sterling worth, and of the genuine English stamp. (Murmurs of applause.) My friends, this is no time for any expressions of eulogy. I know your hearts go with mine ; neither is it the time to describe his character in detail, in its various bearings and relations, or else I might delight to speak of the genial and mellow kindness there was in all the intercourse of his private life, and in his hours of social ease. I might like to speak of the constant and zealous attention which he gave to all charitable institutions of your town ; and the ability with which he exercised the important functions of a magistrate for several years, respected by all the magistracy of the county, who were pleased to appoint him to preside at their meetings for the administration of justice—and, above all, I might speak of his unaffected piety, sound principles, and benignant spirit as a minister of the Church of England. I love the Church of England for many things—for nothing more than for its benignant spirit ; and I know not in what minister in all itsrange the benignant spirit.shoneout morebrightly than in our lamented friend. (Hear, hear.) All those various duties that I have glanced at, he was, through God's blessing, per mitted to continue to perform—to perform all of them ; to perform them ably to the very list. Venerable by the official title which he bore in the diocese; but venerable also by his age, and venerable by his intrinsic, genuine, sterling charac ter. But still I feel this is not the time; there may be some more fitting time, perhaps, for some voice at least to be lifted up to speak of those things. I will confine myself to what relates more strictly to our present meeting here, and only remind you further, that he was one of the most consistent supporters, judicious advocates, and warmest friends of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. (Hear, hear.) It was his intention, if he had been spared, to have been here this night amongst us, and to have taken some part, as he has often taken, in our proceedings. My friend, the Bishop of Melbourne, was to have been his guest, as so many advocates of religious societies have been his guests before. He was also proposing to have received me with his usual kindness in his house to share, as I have often done, his hospitality ; but it has been ordered otherwise by the Almighty God, who orders all things for the best—His will be clone. Let it be our prayer that God may raise up many ministers to follow the steps and example of this His good servant, whom He has now permitted to depart in peace. (During the delivery of those observations his lord ship was affected to tears.) The cause (he continued to say) for which they met survived all the trials of generations of mankind ; and God be thanked, as one good man sank into the grave, others were raised up by Providence to pursue the same course of piety and usefulness. But to turn to the direct purpose of our meeting, our last meet ing was one of more than ordinary i n t eres t. O n th e last occasion of our meeting we had with us the Bishop of New Zealand, who bore interesting testimony to the state of his diocese. We have now among us another Australian bishop—the Bishop of Melbourne,—whom I have much plea sure in introducing to the meeting as my friend. (Cheers.) He has left behind him at the University of Cambridge valu able memorials of his worth, his scholarship, and of his piety. We have also among us the Rev. E. Caldwell, the able and energetic missionary to Tennevelly, in the East Indies, who will lay before you an account of the state of Christianity in that country. We will also lie addressed by two other gen tlemen—Mr. Horsfall, our respected parliamentary represen tative. (Cheers.) He is the kind patron and tried friend of every good and religious object. The other is the Rev. Dr. Taylor, one of my own clergy, and one whom it affords me the greatest pleasure to meet with on all occasions. (Cheers.) I have had the pleasure of meeting that gentleman on points of interest to both of us and to the community, and I have always been delighted to feel the courtesy and kindness, the earnestness, and the true religion which he has always exhibited. (Cheers.) lam gratified to know that you approve of this expression of my sentiments, because I feel assured that Dr. Taylor is entitled to your and my esteem and regard. I shall not longer stand between you and the object of the meeting, but will call on my friend the Bishop of Melbourne, who will move the first resolution. The Lord Bishop of MELBOURNE moved the first resolution, which was to the following effect :—That this meeting desires humbly to record their thankfulness to Almighty God for the continued and increasing blessings which he appears to have vouchsafed to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, as a great instrument for promoting throughout the world the saving knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." He said the field of the society's operations were the foreign provinces of the British empire, which might well be called the world. They extended to every part of the world, and in extending the knowledge of the gospel to them, they were extend ing it throughout the world. The provinces of the British empire were of two classes, 6olonies and dependencies. The work of the society was different in those different classes of provinces. To the latter missionaries were sent for the conversion of the heathen to the knowledge of the gospel, and in the colonies their object was to establish churches for the administration of the rites of religion, for the gathering together of the people for public worship, and for preaching the word of God. It belonged to him to speak to them of the work of the society in the colonies alone. His see was the province of Victoria, and he wished to trace the history of the Church in the colony, to show its progress in con nection with the aid which it had received from the Pro- pagation Society. The province of Victoria was first oc cupied in 1834 and 1835, by enterprising individuals who crossed over from Van Dieman's Land. In 1836 it was publicly proclaimed as an appendage to New South Wales. In 1839 it was placed under the distinct government of a superintendent, and was then called by the name of the District of Port Philip. In 1851, in consequence of the ih crease of population, wealth, and importance, it was constituted a distinct province under the rule of a Lieu- tenant-Governor. It was founded in 1835, in 1846 the census was taken. It amounted to 32,879. In 1851 the zensus of the population was taken again, when it had reached to the number of 77,345. The original settlers were owners of flocks, and the owners of small capital wishing to establish themselves in business, and others artizans and labourers. Very few of those were anxious to get the ministrations of a clergyman, or listen to the Word of God. They went there for secular purposes. And here he wished to remark, that a great deal of the subsequent diffi culty which was encountered resulted from no ministers having accompanied those persons in the first instance. The public services were, for a long time, conducted by laymen. In 1846 there were in the province seven towns and villages, and only two clergymen. In 1847 he was appointed to the bishopric, and it was to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel that he, as well as many other bishops, owed his ap pointment. (Hear, hear.) He arrived in Melbourne in 1848, and there were then three clergymen for the whole diocese. But by means of the aid he received from the Society, the three were raised to eleven in 1848 ; from eleven to sixteen in 1850 ; from sixteen to twenty in 1801; and from twenty to twenty-four in 1852. In 1851 he called a conference of the clergy and laity of his diocese, and he laid before them the pecuniary state of the Church, and a resolution to this effect was agreed to, acknowledging, whilst it was lawful to receive aid from the State, it was, notwithstanding, the duty of every Christian community to provide for the promulga tion of the gospel, and the maintenance of ministers, provided they have the necessary means ; and that, by God's blessing, the members of the Church in the colony did possess such means. Thus, in four years after the appointment of a bishop in Victoria, by the assistance of the Church in this country, the people of Victoria were brought to acknowledge their responsibility, and to admit their responsibility to main tain the Church in their own territory. In 1852 the whole body of clergy in the diocese was maintained almost entirely by voluntary - contributions ; and if the gold fields had not been discovered, they might, with comparatively little assistance from England, have maintained the existing body of clergy, and extended the Church according to the growing wants and necessities of the colony. (Hear, hear.) They might probably like to know something about the Church in Victoria since; and those who wished for detailed informa tion upon this point he would refer to No. 33 of " The Church in the Colonies." An erroneous impression prevailed as to the result of the discovery of the gold fields. The gold fields were discovered in 1851. The first effect of them was to produce an immediate rush of all the able-bodied men from the towns. The next effect was a great influx of people from the neighbouring colonies, and an influx from England and other countries. There was a great increase in the cost of the necessaries of life, of labour, of all articles of food and clothing, of house-rent, &e. In the last ten months of 1851, 10,930 persons arrived in the colony; in 1852, 63,626; and in 1853, 49,869—upwards of 100,000 persons entered the colony in two years. The circumstances arising out of the discovery of the gold fields involved clergymen in great difficulties, on account of the insufficiency of their incomes to meet the in creased prices. Their salaries varied from £450 to £6OO, but in Australia this was not equivalent to half the sum in this country. In 1854, some government aid having been with drawn, he was obliged to draw upon all other resources to provide sufficient stipends for the clergy who had arrived in that year. Then it was that the aid of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel came in most happily. They granted him £5OO a year (hear, hear) ; and the Colonial Church School Society made him another, and with this assistance he was enabled to make up the stipends of his THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. clergy. In 1854 their numbers had still increased, but he had every hope that their stipends would be made up by the voluntary contributions of their several parishioners. (Hear, hear.) In consequence of an act of parliament which had been passed, and which he believed would be accepted by the Colonial Legislature, an increased sum for the payment of clergymen would be provided. Sufficient money would be available, should he be able to obtain additional clergymen. The Church in the Colony of Victoria was placed in a very peculiar position. They were not in want of money for the maintenance of clergy in the colony ; but he had not the means of sending out those men, and for this pu r p ose they needed the help of their friends in England. But more than this, there was now a population in Melbourne for whom no ministerial provision was made. The first great want wa s the want of men. The population of Melbourne was now 300,000. The population had quadrupled in four years, whilst the clergy had only doubled, so that they were not in as good a :position as they were in 1851. The gold fields were spread over various parts of the country; there were 50 or 00 distinct gold-fields, requiring at least 30 clergy men, whereas they had only four ministering amongst them. This was what pressed most upon them at the present time; for it was impossible to make anything like an adequate pro vision for the population of the gold fields. After referring to some efforts which had been made by the colonists to provide church and school accommodation, and the necessity which nevertheless existed for its increase, he alluded to the primi tive way in which divine service had sometimes to be performed in the colony over which he presided. In connection with this point, he said,—We are not bound to restrict our ministerial labours in the colonies to regular churches ; for myself I shall always feel happy to celebrate divine service wherever I can obtain a willing and attentive audience. (Cheers.) On one occasion, acting on this feeling, I preached from the stump of a fallen tree, which suited very well as a convenient and useful pulpit. What we want especially is zealous men. If you will send us out earnest men we will provide for them. Ido not so much wish to know what may be their opinions upon poinst which the Church of England leaves open to discussion, but I do desire to have men who are inspired by the Grace of God in their hearts. (Hear hear.) After inviting the prayers of the meeting for the success of the Church in Australia, he con cluded by proposing the resolution with which he was en trusted. T. B. HORSFALL, Esq., M.P., rose to second the motion, and on rising was received with loud cheers, When these had subsided, he proceeded to say he felt great pleasure in briefly seconding the resolution. In doing so, he said—l am sure it is impossible to have listened to the interesting statements made by the Right Rev. Bishop of Melbourne, without feeling an anxious desire to support to the utmost extent the exer tions of this society, which has been represented as so inte resting and important. Never was there a time when the cldims upon the society were so great as at the present moment, and never was there a time when its claims upon us were so urgent. I wish it were in my power to give expression to the feelings which I, in common with all present, must have felt on listening to the eloquent statements of the workings of the society, as they have been displayed by the right rev. Bishop who has just addressed the meeting. But, while lam unable to do this, I will mention a circumstance which I know of in relation to the Cape of Good Hope, when on a late occasion great fears w ere enter t a i ne d o f another nat i ve rebel lion in that country. On that occasion the governor knew well that it was impossible for the government at home to send out soldiers to meet the emergency. In this difficulty the governor said, " I have only one means of safety left ; I must Christianise the population; and to do this I will draw on the government for £40,000, on the colonists for £5,000, and I will then see what the Church will give." The appeal was made to the government and to the colonists, and in both in stances it was responded to, and the missionaries were em ployed instead of troops; and by this means we were freed from the horrors of another Kaffir war. What the Church has given I know not ; but I hope the appeal has not been made and will not be made in vain ; and I hope that Liver pool will not be appealed to in vain in behalf of the exertions of this society. I feel that there is no room for apprehension on that head, or for supposing that the institutions for which Bishop Barker and Bishop Ryan are looking for strength and encouragement will be left without support on the part of Liverpool. Many forcible allusions had been made, and many striking illustrations had been given, of the beneficial working of the Society in the Colonies and in heathen lands ; but one place in particular has of late, we are aware, been the scene of its gratifying operations. I allude particularly to the circumstance that this Society, in conjunction with government, had sent out twenty-six able, earnest, and zealous clergymen to minister to the spiritual wants of our brave soldiers in the East. That the labours of these clergymen were eminently useful and highly appre ciated, was clear from many evidences ; but was particularly so from the reports transmitted by those clergymen m themselves . in reference to the effects which had followed their mistra tions. The honourable gentleman here read extracts from several of the reports dated at Scutari and at several places in the Crimea, showing that the services rendered by the Clergy in these places had been attended by results eminently gratifying to both the Clergy and the soldiers. He then proceeded. It is unnecessary for me to say one word in enforcing the sentiments or in recommending the views so ably set forth in the extracts which he had just read, and he should not risk the chance of weakening them, or further detain the meeting try allusion to them. Before sitting down, however, as the only layman present who in all likelihood would have the honour of ad- dressing the meeting, he trusted he might be allowed to express his feelings as in perfect unison with those ad mirably characteristic remarks which had been made by the Lord Bishop of Chester, in reference to the amiable character and benevolence and usefulness of that venerable man who has been taken from amongst us, and in whom every one feels that our loss has indeed been great. The resolution was put from the chair and carried unani mously. A hymn was then sung, during which a collection was made. The Rev. R. CALDWELL, missionary from Tinnevelly, rose to move the second resolution, and on doing so was receeived with loud applause. He read the resolution, which set forth the reasons for thankfulness for the circumstance that "whilst fresh channels have been, through the grace of God opened up among the heathen and in our colonies, the Society, and its friends cannot but rejoice in the appointment Of twenty-six chaplains to our sick and wounded soldiers in the East." The reverend gentleman proceeded to say that the three great objects which the Society had in view were alluded to in the resolution, and that all of them were of deep interest. It would be more particularly his duty to speak of the operations of the Society in relation to the heathen, and that even more especially in reference to India, where we have no less than a hundred and twenty-five millions of in habitants, a hundred and twenty millions of whom were our fellow-subjects. The Hindoos, he remarked, had a special claim upon the inhabitants of Lancashire and of Liverpool. Once we were altogether dependent upon them for all the cotton we received. Now matters are so completely changed that they are entirely dependent on us for their supplies of cotton goods ; and Liverpool, whose traffic embraces all quarters of the world, had great intercourse with all the ports of India. But surely it could never for a moment be supposed by any one that the dominion over that vast tract of fertile land, and that enor mous population had been given us by Divine Providence merely for the sake of selling cottons. No, such ascendancy was permitted us merely that we might be instruments in uprooting the dark heathenism by which the land was over shadowed. The heathenism of India was the most compact and systematic which had ever been presented to observation. Compared with it the heathenism of Greece and Rome was trivial and childish. From this cause the operation of mis- sionary labour in India had not been so great or so encouraging as could have been wished; but still much had been achieved, so much as to give great encouragement to further exertion. In the. Presidency of Madras the first missionary effort, had been made, and there, as might have been expected the greatest, amount of good had been effected. In that Presidency there is now a native Christian popula tion amounting to nearly 80,000 souls. (Cheers.) Many of these, no doubt, are of the poorest classes. The object of the Society was to teach the downcast to arise—the Pariah and the outcast to look on himself as man. (Cheers.) Com mencing with the lower classes, the missionary movement had begun to grow upwards, and now included many of the higher classes. For this their thanks were mainly due to the Scotch Presbyterians, who, by the founding of schools and ad dressing themselves to the children, have succeeded in estab lishing a rising ge n e ra ti on o f Christians. The Society's mis sionaries had emulated this process with satisfactory success ; still the credit was not the less due to those who had origi nated the system. (Cheers.) In the district of Tinnevelly ' where he had been stationed f or 17 years, there i s now a Christian population of 40,000 individuals, and the numbers of these have been steadily, although not rapidly, on the in crease. No backward step had ever occurred ; sometimes the advance was not great, but it had always been less or more an advance. In that district there were missionaries belonging to the Church Missionary Society, and those of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, but they work well and harmoniously together, The progress had always been onwards and improving. The Christian character extends its influence even to the improvement of the temper, circum stances, and appearances of the people, and to the character of their villages and houses, and this because it teaches them to respect themselves. In conclusion, he repeated that India has especial claims upon the consideration of the Society. It is anxious to do more than at present it is able to accomplish. It cannot do more unless supported by the prayers and good wishes, and by the purses of the Christian community. In its circumstances, to stand still would be to go back ; but in its operations are seen the work of God, and the fulfilment of Christ's mission, the salvation of the whole human race. The Rev. Dr. TA.TLOE, on rising to second the resolution, was received with a welcome of hearty applause. On its sub sidence, he proceeded to say that the claims and objects of the Society had been so ably set forth by the preceding speakers as to leave little room for him to make any re marks. If he made any, however, he would suggest that its operations should be extended and made wider. That under its influence the standard of the cross should be borne onward, and never cease while there was a single unregenerate(' son of Adam to reclaim. The Society had established its claim on general support by the inestimable value of its operations. This would be more apparent when it was recollected that to its exertions mainly we have been indebted for the establishment of thirty colonial dioceses and thirty bishops, with a working staff of clergymen ; and to its exertions, also, might safely be attributed the existence of the e be episcopate,gged cordially t h it t s o s t h e c i o r t n y d . - fi t v h e e b r e i s s h o l o t p i t s i . n w h c i o c n h e l l e i o r n i ca , on being put from the chair, was unanimously carried.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. FIELDIN GOULD. THE interesting ceremony of presenting to the Rev. Fielding Ould a testimonial of respect and esteem, from the members of his late congregation, took place last night, in the Girls' School-room, Christian-street. Mr. Mocatta was in the chair, and amongst those present were the Rev. B. S. Clarke, Rev. Mr. Cowan, Rev. Mr. Risk, &c. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that the. subject on which they Were met might be regarded in a two fold point of view—firstly, as one of deep regret ; and, secondly , as one of congratulation. The Rev. Fielding Ould had, for a period of twenty years, zealously, faithfully, and affectionately discharged the duties of Incumbent of Christ Church, and was now about to leave for a new sphere of usefulness. Though all must rejoice at the kindness of the Bishop in recognising services so performed, yet all felt regret at the separation which it involved. The schools were objects of his deep solici tude, and the result of his care was most gratifying. Their prayers would follow Mr. Ould, for whose happiness they would be anxious. The speaker (hddressing Mr. Ould) said, " You know my own personal feelings towards you. I have enjoyed sweet intercourse with you; and, upon every occasion, derived benefit." He concluded by reading the following address : TO THE REV. FIELDING OULD, 8.A., ON HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE INCUMBENCY OF CHRIST CHURCH, LIVERPOOL, Rev. and Dear Sir,—We have learned with sincere regret that the bonds which have hitherto united you to us are about to be severed, and that you have been called away, in the Providence of God, to minister in another sphere of duty. We cannot allow a connection of nearly twenty years to ter minate without expressing the sentiments we entertain to wards yourself personally, and our appreciation of your long, zealous, and profitable labours amongst us. The faithfulness with which you have preached to us the gospel of our salvation—the earnest devotedness of your life and conversation—the efficiency of your private, as well as public ministrations—and your constant readiness to prove yourself the true friend, no less than the faithful pastor ; all these have engaged our warmest affections, and now cause us to deplore more deeply your approaching removal. While, however, we regret the event which deprives us of your valuable ministry, we cannot but congratulate you on the advantages we hope you will derive from the change, and, at the same time, admire the wisdom, as well as the kindness, which has prompted the Bishop of this Diocese to select you for so desirable a preferment. The accompanying purse we have the pleasure of presenting as a small, though inadequate token of our esteem and regard. We beg your acceptance of it more as an index of the feelings that prompt it, than from any consideration of value in itself. And now, Reverend and Dear Sir, in taking leave of you, we desire to assure you of our continued and abiding respect. Our prayers accompany you to the scene of your future labours. May God grant you to be an instrument, in His hands, of much usefulness to the souls of your new charge, as we are confident you have been to many amongst those from whom you are now about to be removed. - Entreating for yourself and your family the richest bless ings of a merciful and gracious God, we commend you to His care and protection here, and desire for you an abundant entrance into His kingdom and glory hereafter. Signed, on behalf of the Congregation of Christ Christ, Liverpool __ 3AA.IIRICE MOCATTA, Chairman of the Commmittee, Liverpool, Ist October, 1855. The Rev. FIELDING OULD then read his reply, after which he said " This would be my formal answer. But I will not stop here." He would go a little further. He would, in the first place, allude to the demise of the Venerable Rector of the parish, which melancholy event coincided with his separation. The Archdeacon discharged the duties of his sacred office for nearly twenty years, and, whether as a clergyman or a magistrate, gained the respect of all who came within his sphere. He is now gone to receive the re ward of his labours, and has left a high example to his suc cessor. For several years he (Mr. Ould) enjoyed his counsel, and the benefit which he (though ministering in a compara tively obscure church, but densely populated district) derived made a lasting impression on his mind. The Rev. gentleman said his separation awoke feelings of regret, but ue hoped he could carry with him the prayers of the dense and highly respectable assemblage before him. He could not but feel grateful for the considerate feeling which prompted thebishopto recognisehis services, such as they were, and appoint him to a sphere more congenial to his own feelings, and conducire to the health of his family. He felt that increased years, with their infirmities, prevented his discharging his ministerial duties as he ought; but nevertheless, the schools were objects of his unceasing care. In them he found his strength. There were many incidents connected with them. He would just mention one. While seated in the vestry-room at Christ Church a few days since, a gentleman entered, who introduced himself to him. Four teen years had elapsed since he saw him. They engaged in conversation, and the stranger, who sixteen years since came to this town to embark in mercantile pursuits, acknowledged the obligation which he was under to him while attending his church, and teaching at the school. Then his mind first acquired religious. impressions. He gave up mercantile pursuits, entered St. Bees, and took orders. The Arch bishop of Canterbury presented him to two livings, and he was now pastor of an extensive living in Yorkshire. This was one of the many instances of good which resulted from the school. For .the kindness shown him he was deeply grateful. If his successor chose to mark out a path for hini self, he wished him an abundant success—" if he would rather burn brightly before you, than trim his lamp by my humble light, I trust his efforts will be crowned with success." He would now wish them farewell, in the hope that they would meet before that Almighty in whose presence there was fulness of joy, and at WhOie right h an d there were pleasures forever more." Mr. BRARELL added his grateful testimony to the benefit he derived from the ministrations of the Rev. Mr. Ould. The meeting then separated, those present eagerly iciessing to bid the Rev. Mr. Ould, whose departure they so much re gretted, farewell. A purse, containing nearly 200 sovereigns, accompanied the address. COMMERCIAL and MONETARY NETVS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE money market during the week has been in a state of commotion, owing to the decline in the funds so soon after the fall of Sebastopol, and the further application of the screw by the Bank of England in the minimum rate of discount. Consols, which a short time since were steady at 91, have declined about 22 per cent., and Exchequer Bills are a trifle below par, but there is rather a better feeling, and the tendency is upward. The returns of the Bank of England show another decline in the stock of bullion, but we have com mented on the suject at more length in a leading article. For commercial purposes there has been an active demand for money, but the pressure is now easier, and foreign exchanges are rather more favour- able. The market at Manchester has been dull and prices have slightly given way, owing partly, perhaps, to the decline in the value of the raw material. Manufacturers have, however, been well employed in the execution of previous orders, so that there is no great accumulation of stocks. The Woollen trade has been upon the whole of a satisfactory character. The Board of Trade returns for the month ending the 31st of August have just been issued. Compared with the corresponding month of last year they show an increase in the declared value of our exportations of £107,759. Among the most prominent items on the favourable side are silk manufactures, woollen and linen yarn, and the various miscellaneous products comprised under the head of unenumerated articles. On the other side the chief features observable are still those consequent upon the diminution of the Australian trade. The following table exhibits the exact increase or decrease in the exportation of each article :--- DECLARED VALUE OP EXPORTATIONS. Month ending Sept. 5, Aug. 31, Incr'se.

Coincident with the demand for breadstuffs there has been an augmented impor tation of rice, as was also the case last month. The consumption of other articles of food or luxury has been upon a scale to indicate the exercise of economy on the part of the people, induced probably by the hiol price of grain. Thus tea, coffee, cocoa, sugar, 9 spirits, fruits, and spices all show a decline.

Flax and leather manufactures, hides, timber, and metals, except copper, all present a heavy falling off. Our SHARE -MARKET has been firmer during the past week, and prices have advanced some one per cent. from the lowest point, but this has scarcely been maintained to-day, The pressure in the Money-market, the abundance of stock, and the want of confidence in railway accounts, especially in those of the London and North-Western, inducing daily sales of real stock, continue to have an unfavourable influence upon this market, and it closes this evening with a gloomy ap pearance, indicative of a further fall.

COTTON. — The pressure on the money market has not been without its effect on Cotton, and holders having pressed sales more freely, prices have declined from 3-16 d. to id. per lb. The sales for the week up to Friday were 35,960 bales, of which 2,300 were taken on speculation, and 3,230 for export, leaving 30,430 for the trade. TO-DAY the advices by the Atlantic were to hand, and the market assumed a firmer tone, though no advance is made in quotations. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for speculation and export. The following is a compari son of present rates with those of the corresponding period last year:— • New Orleans, middlin 1 854 1855 g fair 31 Upland, middling -16 5 11-16 „ fair PRODUCE.—The inquiry for Sugar has continued active and prices have advanced 6d. to ls. per cwt. Coffee in good demand. Little doing in Tea. In Rice a large business at 3d. per cwt. advance. Palm Oil in good demand. Tallow and Rum in fair request. TO -DAY, a steady business continues to be done in Sugar, at full prices; including Saturday's sales, the transactions consist of 200 hhds. Demerara from 435. to 475., 1,500 bags Dates at 475. to 475. 3d., and 2,500 mats Mauritius, to arrive, the price not reported. There is nothing to notice in Molasses or Rum. 80 bags washed Rio Coffee have realized 545. per cwt. The Tea market on Saturday and to-day has been rather excited, and a general disposition has been shown to do business in most kinds; common Congou has been sold to the extent of 3,000 chests, at 9d. per lb. Rice continues in fair demand, 4,000 bags Arra can being reported at 12s. 100., 850 bags Bngal at 16s. 3d., with 200 tons for arrival, the price of which has not transpired. 300 bales Jute have realized £l6 per ton, being its previous value. WOOL---During the past week there has been less demand for all descriptions of wool. At our public sales, which commenced on Tuesday and terminated on Saturday, there was a fair attendance of buyers, but a want of ani ma ti on i n th e biddi ng, and prices may be quoted Id. to id. per lb. lower. The imports for the week are 585 bales East Indian, 260 Portugal, 116 Mediterranean, 301 Scotch, 36 Irish, and 51 Coast wise. Total, 1,349 bales. Messrs. HUGHES and RON4LD . , in their circular, say :--- __ _ The public sales, which commenced on the 25th instant, had been for some time looked forward to with interest, as the chief part of the late arrivals of the most current descriptions had been held over for this occasion. The whole quantity announced was 9,102 bales, of which were 6,262 bales of East India: these Wools were not in such active demand as at the previous sales, and, although nearly the whole found buyers, still the biddings were without animation, with the exception of the better bred qualities, which were extremely scarce, and realised prices nearly in proportion to the last public sales of 15th to 17th August, while on others we quote an average decline of id. per lb.; and taking into account the very extreme - rates which in some instances then prevailed, but not to an extent to form any real criterion, it has been even much more serious. Messrs. W. GREAME and Co., in their Inonthly circular, say : There has again been a fair demand for most descriptions of Wool during the past month, and a considerable amount of business has been done at very firm prices ; during the last few days, however, the sudden rise in th e ra t e o f di scount by the bank of England, combined with the high rates ruling in the corn market has rather tended to check demand, and our public sales, which commenced on the 25th instant, opened with less animation than was expected, 6,000 bales East India and 3,000 bales Buenos Ayres, Egyptian, Turkey, and other low Wools were offered ; we had a good attendance of the home trade, but an unusual absence of foreign com petition, and at the first day's sale, which consisted entirely of East India Wools, there was an average reduction of id. per lb.; as the sales progressed, however, more confidence was manifest and this reduction was partially recovered; iu other descriptions there was not much alteration. Egyptian Wools were in good request, and realised full prices ; there was only a poor selection of Turkey, Smyrna, and Barbary Wools, and part was withdrawn. In English and Irish Wools a fair business is doing and prices are pretty well maintained, par ticularly for combing and carding Skin Wools, which are very scarce and much wanted; for Scotch and Laid Wools not much demand, and no alteration in prices. Messrs. JOSEPH ROBINSON and Co. say The raising of the rate of discount by the Bank of England to 5 per cent., and the continued high value of flour and grain, have acted unfavourably on the Wool market, and given the upward tendency of prices a temporary check. The imports of East India have been large, although showing a trifling increase on last year's receipts to the same period, and the tightness in the money market has had the effect of causing a slight reduction in blanket wools. Combing descriptions, with which the market is indifferently supplied, are not lower, and extreme value is attainable, to the close of the month. As far as can be ascertained at the scene of manufacture, the want of confidence is caused by fear for the future, and not by any want of orders. A short time will remove the effects of the rise in the rate of discount, and we look for a good busi ness, at fully recent rates, stocks being light, and the general trade of the country healthy. Home-grown Wools remain very firm ; the growers prefer holding to accepting lower prices. Last year's stock was almost entirely consumed, and the demand quite an average to thepresent period ; it would not be a matter of great surprise if even a rise should take place before the next two months. LATEST NEWS. THE CRIMEA. We have received, vid Marseilles, the following telegraphic despatch from The Times' correspondentot Sebastopol : SEBASTOPOL, Sept. 18. The enemy is firing into the town, but does little harm. The Naval Brigade is dissolved. The siege batteries are being reshipped. Col. 3l'Murdo is preparing his corps for active service, by VIENNA, Saturday, Sept. 29. The allied fleets have left Sebastopol. Their destination is unknown. MARSEILLES, Saturday, Sept. 29. The Vatican, which left Constantinople on the 20th of Sept. _ has arrived. She brings advices from the Crimea of the 18th of Sept. Despatches leave at 8 p.m. The Indian mail despatches leave at the same time. The Moniteur of Sunday does not contain any news from the theatre of war. It announces the departure from Paris of the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha for Coblentz, at which city there is at present a sort of Congress of German Princes. All the Paris papers of Saturday publish the two following elegraphic despatches from Prince Gortschakoff:— ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday Evening, Sept. 26. Prince Gortschakoff writes from the Crimea, under date of ,he 23rd of September : After landing 20,000 men at Eupatoria, the enemy, who had 30,000 men on our left flank, made daily reconnaissances, but yesterday they withdrew, after an encounter with our infantry on the heights of Ourkussa. The second despatch is vid Berlin : BERLIN, Sept. 28. Under date of Sept. 26, in the morning, Prince Gortscha koff says: Yesterday the enemy landed.at Enpatoria to the number of 33,000 men, and occupied different villages in the neighbour hood, from which they withdrew towards evening, to bear upon onr left flank. • Nothing of importance has, however, occurred. Our Cossacks have had an encounter with a French foraging party near Kertch, and made 25 prisoners. :BY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.] LONDON, Monday Night. The Globe states that the rank of Major-General is likely TH E NV AR. The Times' Crimean correspondent writes on Sept. 18 : " Since Saturday last, very little has occurred to meet the eye, and the news may be briefly stated. " The Russians continue to strengthen their position on the north side, and to hang on their old points of occupation, from thence to the ridges over Aitodor. " The French have moved large masses of the corps of the left siege army to the rear between Baidar and.Tchorgoum. " Our Batteries are disarmed. " The roads to the camp are undergoing repair, and the Army Works Corps, assisted by soldiers, is engaged in the formation of a new road from Balaltlava, which will run pa rallel with the line of railway. " Everything around indicates the intention of putting the army into winter quarters on the site of its present encamp ment. But there are signs, equally unequivocal, that a blow is to be struck at the enemy ere the troops set themselves pas sively down to encounter the rigour of the winter. In the first place, great activity prevails throughout the Land Trans port Corps, several divisions of which have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for immediate service. Colonel MacMurdo has been required to furnish head-quarters with an accurate estimate of the amount of supplies which he could convey, and of the number of mules and horses fit for duty. "In one division the captain has been ordered to prepare mules to carry 250,000 rounds of ball cartridge, that is 50 rounds per man for a force of 5000 men. The officer in charge of the small arm reserve ammunition has been warned to prepare for taking it into the field. The troops of the Royal Horse Artillery and the field batteries have been turned out in marching order, and were under the impression on Mon day morning that they were really going to start at once. " Our sappers and miners are at work sinking great mines to blow up and destroy the unrivalled docks which have cost Russia so much anxiety, money, and blood. "On the open quay parties of our men are constantly en gaged in burning old stores, clothing, boots, belts, shakos, bags, and such articles as the enemy left behind. " The sappers and these parties are not disturbed by the Russian - guns, but ifa knot of officers or horsemen collect, the enemy unexpectedly sends a shot or shell amongst them, and does a little mischief to the remains of the town. They could sweep some of the chosen look-out places with grape, but it is believed they are waiting for a grand collection of generals, staff-officers, and officers to astonish with a broadside. " Mr. Lange,. paymaster of the Rifle Brigade, was slightly wounded by a shell from the north side, and his horse was killed. " The French have a mortar battery, with which they shell the Russian working parties. " At an armistice, on Tuesday, for the interchange of letterl for prisoners, the Russian officer who conducted it, and Ao is supposed to have been the commander of the Vladimar, is said to have expressed the same opinion as the Russian Admiral did on the 10th--` With this before us, (pointing to the ruins of Sebastopol,) peace is further off than ever.' " The Russians have a very large park of artillery on the other side of the harbour. " Captain Rowland; 31st, has been appointed Town:Major to Colonel Wyndham. " The French cavalry are going to Eupatoria." The Times' Berlin correspondent's communication of the 29th states that the journey of the King was made to coun teract the strong philo-Austrian feeling in certain Prussian provinces, where the population is nearly exclusively Catholic Tuani, Sept. 27. The English steam transports Golden Fleece and Jason are at Genoa, to convey the Sardinian reinforcements of 3,000 men, which will be despatched on or before Oct,lo.
