C. M. 8188 ei,m an. address on the subject of Conscience, upon which 11:111ently dilated. N ed by. Dr. WNBILE stated that he had been deeply I tt 4eB ses t ' and had felt much interested in, the eloquent ' )111 (1 0 whic h he had just listened. The advice which 1I ', bee l* , ee , iv ed upon the neglect of conscience had, he k:gito finis - indelibly impressed upon them all—strongly re k7tti: elf, as it did, of the language of Burns, the ' 4411 , for poet who, when e aid writing—not of conscience, poor not attend to its operations, but of what he called honour, which he invoked in powerful language. The reverend doctor quoted at considerable length from Burns' well-known poem, the " Advice to a Young Friend." In con clusion, Dr. M`Neile urged strongly upon the female portion of the community the great services they could render to the association and to society at large, by using the influence they possessed as mothers, wives, and sisters. He entreated them to use that influence, and in doing so they might rest assured that a blessing would follow their efforts. He advised the young men to abstain from all amusements which they could not invite their mothers, wives, or sisters to participate in. At the conclusion of his address the reverend doctor was much applauded. A hymn was sung, during which a collection was made. The Rev. H. GRIFFITIES then brieflly addressed the meeting on the necessity for prayer. In the course of his address he dwelt forcibly on the Divine injunction to "pray always," and gave many forcible illustrations of its efficacy. The Rev. S. MINION, on rising, was received with applause. He stated his cordial approbation of the objects of the society, and expressed satisfaction at knowing that it was making such progress in this town, as was clearly indicated by the large and important meeting now assembled. Mr. R. A. MAcam moved the thanks of the meeting and of the association to the Chairman, and also to the different gentlemen, lay and clerical, who lent it their countenance, and in a particular manner to those who had' delivered lec tures to the members. Mr. JOHN CROPPER seconded the motion, which was adopted by acclamation. The Rev. V. M. WHITE pronounced the benediction, and the meeting separated. TVAI7.E.RTREE BOARD OF HEALTH. Tim monthly meeting of this board was held last night in the Public Offices. The chair was occupied by the Rev. W. Badnall, and there were also present Messrs. Hal head, Hill, Amlerton, Bradburn, Gore, Chaffer, and Rishton. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read by Mr. Atherton, the law clerk, they were confirmed. The CnAIRMAN then called attention to the circumstances of the nuisance on the premises of Mr. Fingland, which had been so frequently brought under the notice of the board. In reference to this subject, he read a letter he had received from Mr. Whitley, on the part of the Marquis of Salisbury, complaining of the nuisance, and requesting that they would immediately take measures for having it abated. He ex tdained that, on receiving the letter, he along with Mr. Davies visited the premises, where they met with Mr. Finland, Who stated his willingness 'to do everything that was necessary to remove any reasonable ground of complaint. Subsequently, he (the Chairman), in his private capacity, visited the pre mises, and there met Mr. Picton along with Mr. Fingland, the former of whom persisted in addressing him as chairman of the board, which he disclaimed. In the meantime, however, no improvemerit'had been effected. In course of the dayof the present meeting he had had transmitted to him, by Mr. Whitley, the '.copy of a letter addressed to him by the noble Marquis, instructing him to adopt such steps by erecting a barrier between the property of himself and Mr. Hope, if the Board did not immediately see the nuisance removed. Severatmembers expressed themselves to the effect that the matter was one in which the board could only interfere in the mutter in` he ordinary way, by giving notice that whatever nuisan - etnxisted should be abate& Mr. HA.LIEEAD, after remarking that the business of the hoard was to deal with the nuisance in such"A way as to cause itsTemoval, but not to prescribe the exact' manner in which that was to be effected, moved that the 'Law-clerk be in ,' strutted to serve a notice upon Mr. Fingland to have the nuisance abated; and that it be also an 'instruction to the Law-olerk to communicate to Mr. Whitley'the purport of this Tesbirtion, expressing at the - same time 'the anxious desire entertained by the board to have the nuisance abated. :CHAFFER seconded "the resolution, which was unani .rnously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then -road a memorial presented by Mr. A. Picton ' in his own name, and that of two ladies , who , ''fie himself, were owners of property in Olive Mount. The 'memorial complained that the sewer in'that district had been , "made 23 feet deep, whereas a depth of seven or eight feet j would have been sufficient. This, it was stated in the memo - Tial, had occasioned great additional and unnecessary expense, 'which could not be of any use or benefit to the owners of the property for a very long period. Mr. RIanTON said he could not avoid thinking such la memorial was the last sort of thing he should have expected from Mr. Picton, on such a • subject. That gentleman was himself a member of the board at' the time the works spoken of had been undertaken, and took an active hand in them, having made several motions on the subject of their construc tion. It came, therefore, with a bad grace' from him to 'com plain of acts to which he was' himself a party. If he did not know the expense of the sewer; and was not conversant' with it in all its details, dt was his own fault ; he had ampleloppor tunity of becoming so, and he, therefore, ought not 'to en deavour to get out of the responsibility attached to works to the adoption of which he was net merely a consenting but an acting party. Several other members expressed themselves in wsimilar strain. Notwithstanding ihe stringency of the money market, a fair extent of business has been done in sour different produce markets during the past month. The article attracting most attention has been sugar, which has taken a further rise of 12s. to 15s. per mt. since our last circular, and this simply from the great deficiency in stock and expected arrivals for the remainder of the year. Du King the last ten days there has been a general demand both from the trade and specula tors, increasing in excitement each day, and a further ad vance of 10s: to l2s. has been established; at these prices the impression that we must have a further advance before we can receive anything like adequate supplies. The stock in the four ports.is only 62,000 tons,ngainst 152,000, showing a deficiency of . 60,000 tons, 55,000 of which deficiency is esti mated in London, 20,000 here, and 15,000 in the Clyde and Bristol. The consumption is progressing satisfactorily, not withstanding' the advanced prices demanded by the grocers -50 per cent. on moist, from 4d. per lb. to 61—and will be about on a par with the last year. Molasses have, participated in the advance in sugar, and 'good to fine West India are worth 28s. to 295. The London sugar market was again ex cited yesterday, and a further advance of 3s. to 4s. was estab toFbuinto4:siv;oes3xst op 0 1 r f w o e l d6 o aB w ts i e. n , estab lished. As yet we have not experienced the full effect here, f' as 5 3 , 4s el . lo t t h o w e ne , Es 62 s a .sretsot Mauritius6 q u uo I t v i o n hai i d o ß f lev t n h ea i s srte d ls a ,n t sd e Bi — as 525. to 60s. for brown to fine yellow. In Manchester, the market for manufactured goods has been.in rather an uneasy.state, owing to the un willingness of buyers to give blue advanced prices de manded; and which have been rendered necessary by the rise in the raw material; still there has been a fair amount of busines done both for the China market and for. Germany, and yarns, as well as manufactured goods, are saleable at improved prices. 'There is a threat of an extensive turn-out, •owing to somesof the masters havinggiven notice of a reduction in thexate of wages, a measure which is very naturally resisted at a time when the price of all necessaries is so high, but it is hoped that some arrangement will be come to by which a resort to a iurn-out may be avoided. In the Woollen trade there is very little to notice, there being a fair amount of business transacted, and prices re main without alteration. The Hosiery and Lace trades are also steady. - - - The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 3rd November gives the following results, when ,compared with .the previous week.: — Public Deposits ... £3,369,984; Decrease... £330,860 Other Deposits ... 11,694,200 ; Decrease 366,879 Rest ... 3,178,469; Increase ... 7,443 On the other side of 'the account : Government Securities.. £10,201,276; Decrease... £127,679 Other Securities ...... 18,365,648; Decrease... 179,052 Notes unemployed 4,644,465; Increase .... 381,905 The.amount of notes in circulation is £20,096,855, being a decrease of £339j045, and the stock of bullion in both departments •is £11,299,634, showing a decrease .of £3,731 when compared with the preceding return. Mr. Crurrun •expressed - his surprise that sukh a me morial should have emanated from Mr. Picton, who•was him self in actual receipt of benefit from the work of which he complained. He had had plans and sections of the•work sub mitted to him before it was'begun, and he concurred in it. To his mind, the memorial-seemed the production of a dis contented man. If Mr. Picton was dissatisfied, that he could not sit with them, and participate in their deliberations, it was no fault of any member of the board. It was his own in attention to the duties•: of the board which had occasioned his disqualification. The CHAIRBIAN explained that Mr. Picton had stated his absence was occasioned by no carelessness of the interests of the board, but had been-caused by unavoidable absence in London and other places on business. The • subject then dropped. Several bilis were ordered to be paid, and after the transac tion of some roatine'business the meeting separated. BODY or Air INFANT FOUND. —Yesterday, the body of a newly-born child was found in St. John's churchyard by the sexton. The body was enclosed in a smalrbox. CHILD SCALDED TO;DEATIL—On Friday last, Elizabeth Wilson, three years Old, who resided with her parents in Salisbury-street, was so-scalded,- by the accidental upsetting of a tea kettle, as to cause her death on the following day. SUPPOSED SUICIDE.—On Saturday night, a labourer named James Forrester, who resided in Short-street, was found suspended by thegleck• in his bed-room, and quite dead. Deceased, who was about forty years of age, and had been much addicted to liquor, had several times threatened that he would put an end to himself. LITERARY AND PIIPLASOPHICAL SOCIETY.—A meeting of this society was held last night, at the Royal Institution, Col quitt-street, the Rev. H.;H. Higgins in the chair. Mr. Richard Brooke was elected an ordinary member. The Rev. J. Robberds read an interesting paperon 'Poetry, and its application to Common Life," which was followed by an animated discussion. The meeting shortly afterwards broke up. CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.--011 Tuesday, the 30th of last month, a child named John Gilbertson, two years old, who resided with his parents in Bell-street, was left along with another child of three years old in the house by the mother of the former. While she was absent the two seem to have ' , been tampering with some paper and the •fire, when the ,olothes of the youngest caught fire, and he.was so burned that he required to be taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died on Saturday night, FRENCH TABLE D'HoTE.—'The lovers of .a good and palate , ble dinner a la Francais will 'find themselves amply accom modated and gratified at the Diable d'hdte of Mr. Morrish, at the Merchants' Dining-rooms,; Lancaster-buildings. At this establishment an admirable dinner of five or six courses, con _ sisting of soup, fish, and made dishes, together with fowl, may be obtained on the same scale as the :celebrated three-franc dinners of the Parisian restaurateur. Dinner-wines of a light character and fine flavour may be had,ii.la carte. Mira BRIGHTON, NEAR WATERLOO.—On Tuesday last, the new school, which has been in the course of erection in this place, was opened with a series of most interesting ser vices. The building is in the Gothic style, and, for its size, is one of-the handsomest and most convenient edifices of the kind which we remember having seen. It has.been built after a plan gratuitously made by Messrs. J. W.. and a. Hay, archi tects, Cable-street. The ground was generously given for the purpose by Thomas Eccles, Esq., of Little Brighton, by whom this good work was devised, and by whose ezertituis, mainly, it has been brought to a successful issue, The building was opened by anneting in the morning, at half-pastn After nine o'clock, . a t which the Venerable Archdeacon done e .pra yer had beeffered for God's blessing on presided.en no a ddresses were delivered by the Chairman, the undertaking, v er Geo i r n ge g ' Troughton, the Rev. J. R. Conor, Thos. Eccles, Esq, and the R ev . S. 13. Sutton. At one o'clock, a most substantial dinner .of roast beef and plum pudding, and several other good things of a like nature, was given to the children, and to the workmen ,employed in the erection of the school. At six o'clock, there was a tea meeting for the parents of the children, and the in habitants of the place. The admission was by ticket, but both entertainments were given by Mr. aid Mrs. Eccles, who have always shown such deep interest in the spiritual welfare of their poorer neighbours. After tea, the Rev. Geo. Troughton tdbk the chair, and addresses were delivered by the Rev. Dr. Hume and the Rev. S. B. Saton. The proceedings through out were of the most pleasing and interesting kind, and we sincerely hope they will prove the commencement of great and lasting good. There is still a debt of £l5O, and we hope the Christian public will generously and speedily remove it. There was a large bonfire and a display of fireworks at the conclusion of the proceedings, which gave great satisfaction—especially to the juveniles. HISTORIC SOCIETT.-011 Thursday, the first meeting of the literary section of this society was held in St. George's hall, Dr. nom in the chair. Dr. Hume exhibited an ancient sheep bell, found near Holyhead; also a crystallised stone formed by the action of are, resembling the basalt pillars for ming the Giant's Causeway.—Mr. Danson read some written remarks, as criticisms on Mr, Buxton's paper on the Saxon element in our poetry, read on the Ist instant.—Mr. Buxton, who bad seen Mr. Danson's criticism, read a reply, supporting the views he expressed in his original paper, and expressing an opinion that the difference between him and Mr. Danson was more nominal than real.—Mr. Danson, in a brief reply, admitted that he had misunderstood some portions of Mr. Buxton's paper.—Mr. Danson read a paper on the area and the increase of the population of Liverpool during the last 60 years. After tracing the increase of population in Liverpool through the eighteenth century, he rejected the area of the parish or the out-township as a basis for estimating the popu lation, and laid it down as a principle that the area of a town increased with the increase of population, and then asked the question, What degree of density constituted a town ? He assumed an average density of 100 persons to the acre consti tuted a town, and a density of 10 persons to the acre consti tuted a suburb, and a density of 50 persons to one hundred acres the country. He assigned the area of 21 townships in Lancanshire and Cheshire as the area of the population of Liverpool, and based upon the assumption of population before stated, he showed by a series of figures the progressive increase of Liverpool and Birkenhead, when the latter ceased to be come country, assume the appearance of a suburb, and eventu ally that of a town, remarking that the apparent decrease of population in the town of Liverpool, or rather an apparent standstill in the increase of its population, was caused by the facilities of locomotion in the present day, and the place of sleeping being the place for which the census returns were made.—A discussion followed, in which the chairman, Mr. Boult, Dr. Hume, and other gentlemen took part, and the business concluded. SOUPS READY at TEN O'CLOCK. MORRISH'S MERCHA -BU NTS' D DI INI NS, NG-ROOMS, LANCASTERIL TITHEBARN-STREET, LIVERPOOL. GIBLET B d. eTURTLE ...... ls. Cd. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. COMMERCIAL and 31 - 01.VE T ARF XE TVS. MONDAY NIGHT. THE Money-market during the week has presented, on the whole, a favourable aspect, notwithstanding that no reduction has been made by the Bank of Eng land in the minimum rate of discount. The fluctua tions in the Public Funds have been of an upward character, owing to the increased confidence in mone tary resources, and the advance on the whole is nearly 2 per cent. Money for commercial purposes has been in good demand, but at rates, for first-class paper, somewhat below that fixed by the Bank of England ; while on the Stock Exchange money has been at com mand for about 3 per cent. Another instalment of 10 per cent. on the British Loan of £16,000,000 will fall due on the 20th inst., and three days after, an in stalment of 15 per cent., or £750,000, on the Turkish Loan, will be payable. The late arrivals of specie have been but moderate, but further receipts are expected shortly ; and as, no doubt, preparations have been made to meet the instalments on the loans, it is not antici pated that they will exercise any serious influence on the market. The Bank of Dublin has announced an increase in the rate of discount from 5 to 6 per cent, and the Royal Bank of Prussia has raised the rate of discount on commercial paper from 4 to 41 per cent., and the interest on loans, upon public funds, and other securities, from 6 to 51 per cent. The returns of the Bank of England, published on Friday, show a decrease in the stock of bullion in both departments to the extent of £3,731; but as the de crease is, to a larger extent, in the banking department, with an increase in the issue department, upon which the amount of issue depends, and accompanied also by a decrease in the circulation of £339,045, the reserve of notes unemployed, which is the real surplus, shows an increase, to the amount of £381,905, the public deposits have again decreasedtothe extent of £330;860, owing to the payments on Account of the government exceeding the receipts, and there is also a decrease in private deposits of 066;879 ; so that, allowing for the decrease in the circulation of notes, there is ample to account for the small-diminution in the stock of bullion. Another decrease 'in private securities •of £179,052, shows that the demand for accommodation is lessening, or being satisfied from other sources; •so that, on the whole, the statement may be deemed satisfactory. The total receipts of Specie during the week have been about £200,000, and the whole 'of this has been re-exported. Much attention has been necessarily excited by the rapid and continuous rise which has taken place in Sugar, .and he increase also in the market-price of al most evecy4rticle in general tcousumption. An ad vance of :threepence a lb. in the price of Sugar, with the prospect of a still farthevrise, is attributed 'te the shortness of stocks, the redudion in supplies, and 'the continued large consumption. It is stated, however, that - thae is no want of -supplies in the West -Indies, whielpis kept back owing•to the difficulty of-obtaining freights at a moderate ttate. Whatever may be the cause;it is evident that 'higher prices will render ne cessary a larger amount :of. gold in circulation, and account of itself for diMinished stocks in the Bank cOffers so that if the restrictions imposed by the I ' fsßank Charter Act beallowed to continuo, we shall be Fburning the candle at ' , both ends, by compelling the retention of aweless-hoard at the very 'time' when the l' gold is most wanted for its legitimate employment as ' , Ole medium of circulation.

COTTON.—There has been a good amount of busi ness done, owing to the larger demands from the trade, and prices have advanced from 4d. per lb. The sales for the week up to Friday, were 77,530 bales, of which 17,390 were taken on speculation, and 7,560 for export, leaving 52,630 for the trade. To -DAY, the advises by the Atlantic were received, and the demand continued, the sales being 10,000 for speculation and export, but no alteration took place in prices.

The actual amount of business has not been generally very extensive ; but in particular instances, and for certain description of goods and yarns, some 'large transac tions have been entered upon. This :has been more particu larly the case as regards India and China exports. The accounts from India, at the beginning of the week, were, on the whole, favourable:; and those from China open up a pros pect of greater commercial activity. Under these circum stances, a more extended inquiry was experienced, and as the monetary facilities have been greater than for several previous weeks, the inquiry has not been confined exclusively to fabrics and yarns for the East, but has been participated in by other descriptions. Yarns have been in active request throughout the week, with a further advance in price. For India there has been a steady inquiry, at gradually hardening prices. Water yarns for export to China (16's to 24's) have been in considerable demand, at an advance of fully -id. per lb. The German houses have also been more in the market, and have had to pay siniilarly advanced rates. The demand for home use has beenlarger, and spinners, backed by the upward move ment of cotton in Liverpool, have demanded and obtained more money for both weft and warps. Spinners have been very firm in their demands of higher prices, to which they were alike impelled by the demand and the rising value of cotton. Goods are not so universally affected as yarns ; never theless, the demand for India and China descriptions is also accompanied by operations in other sorts. Shirtiugs for China and long cloths have been in good request at higher values ; and stocks, which a few weeks ago were becoming heavy, have been cleared off, and in many instances manufac turers have orders on hand which Will require several weeks to , complete. With the above etceptions, there is no very great change in goods. Jacconetts are in pretty good request, and T cloths.have been rather more inquired for, as has also been the case with respect to some descriptions of printers; which are,butit is daul however, for the c t to mostrpeaalrits,eany a dull of advance. —Manchester t c i ii cs es ar te r e firm Courier. ROCH.DAIM—A dull and flat market, and the merchants have, when they have purchased, given a shade less for pieces. The wool market continues inactive, and prices are rather in favour of the manufacturer. HunamoriaLD.—There is no difference to notice in this market. Everything has been very flat ; and the few buyers who have been about 'have bought nothing but what they were'in immediate want of. Prices are about the same. LEEDS.—Very dull markets at the Cloth Halls, but not more so than is usually the case at the close of the season. Prices without alteration • and the stocks being low in the clothiers' hands, the mills continue to be well employed. Although there has been a number of buyers in the town this week, their purchases have been light, and business in the warehouses 'has been to a less amount than for some time past. BnenTonti—Wool : The purchases of wool continue of a limited character, and the holders offer no inducement to more active operations. Yarns : The stoppage of spinning ma chinery continues to be adopted, for no one can stock spools, and for reeled yarns there is no one disposed to spin, except to order, the prices current offering no inducement to take any other course. Pieces : The merchants buy very sparingly, merely to assort their stocks, and altogether the trade is very inanimate. LEICESTER. — Trade remains much as last reported. No further decline has taken place in prices of woollen yarns, al though the spinners complain of less business doing. They say the price of wool does not warrant reductions. NOTTINGTIA3I.—In the lace trade there was a better demand for most classes of goods. Several American buyers are in the market giving out their orders, which are, no doubt, smaller than they would have been, had the market been easier. The home demand is dull, but not more so than is usual at this period. Hosiery : There is a fair business doing in some branches of the trade, particularly with the American markets, but others are comparatively quiet. The trade is believed to be sound in the main, and manufacturers in general are acting with great judgment and prudence in the conduct of their business at this crisis. THEFT BY A SERVANT. Yesterday, a young woman named Sarah Mullie, who had been a servant in the public house kept by Mr. Moorcroft, in Commutation-row, was brought before the Police-court on a charge of stealing a steel knife-sharpener, the property of her employer, in whose service she had only been two days. The theft was clearly proved, and she was sentenced to be imprisoned for fourteen days. STEALING BLOCK-TIN. A man, whose name did not transpire, was yesterday charged before J. A. Tobin, Esq., at the Police-court, with the theft of about 36 lbs. of block-tin, from the ship Caroline Chisholm, lying in the Prince's Dock. The tin, which was cast in thin slips, formed part of the vessel's cargo, and had been packed in barrels, which were stowed on board. The prisoner had obtained access to the ship, and abstracted the quantity he was charged with steal ing. The property was found on him as he was leaving the vessel; and, being an old offender, he was sentenced to be imprisoned for three months. THE LATE ARCIIDEA.CON BROOKEL—The public meeting having decided on the memorial to the late Venerable Arch deacon Brooks taking the form of a marble statue, to be t er h e e ct s e e d l e t o t o S n t . ofG e a o i r i g a e's- rti s hal t f l u , r s ot the e e l i x t e t e l u e t ieu interest ef l is the st a tue. excitedon It is said that an applicationemrtse o ne hand at has i sdtoi t. b en e r e ei n m credited. tec can e to Mr. oGc first ui b te b ; o p n at R and icied t , n el I th e e h ilo e m h e as , b in u o t r e t h o e r d s again, he is not happy in portrait statuary, his great forte being the poetry of his art. Mr. Macßride, of this town, who, some time since, made an excellent bust of the late Archdeacon, has recently executed a full-length model, which may be seen at Mr. Westcott's rooms, in Church-street. The artist is well known, having succeeded in producing several admirable like nesses of Liverpool worthies, A SAILOR'S SIMPLICITY. — A good-looking though obviously a simple-minded man, who gave his name as John Tinley, and said he was a sailor, applied to the sitting magistrate, at the Police-court, yesterday, under the following circum stances. Tinley said he was born at Sevenoaks, in Kent, but had gone on board ship when he was a mere boy ; had traded chiefly to the coast of Africa, and had been but very little in England from his boyhood. A short time since he arrived in Liverpool, and ou Saturday last he was met in St. John's-lane, by a man named George Hockey, now in custody, who was dressed as a sailor, and offered to sell Tinley some bargains, commencing with tobacco. Never doubting that all sailors were as simple-minded as himself, Tinley struck a bargain for two lbs. Hockey perceiving that he had a flat to deal with, requested his customer to go with him and inspect some other bargains, which the latter accordingly did. On reaching the place referred to, Hockey showed his dupe a light-colourede mbroidered crape shawl, which he assured the simple Tinley was of genuine Chinese manufacture, and dirt cheap at twelve dollars. The unsuspecting sailor, being desirous of presenting a young woman, his niece, with some thing handsome, thought the shawl in question was the very article, and after some chaffering he purchased the shawl for a sovereign. Hockey next showed him some stuff which he represented as Chinese black satin, the piece being worth eight dollars. Of this valuable property Tinley became also the happy purchaser, for his niece, at another sovereign. Feeling reluctant to part with so good a customer and so well-disposed an uncle, Hockey once more essayed the extent of his credulity, and induced him to pur chase an elegant gold neck chain worth £ll or more in China; and for which the liberal-minded Tinley disbursed a third sovereign, and picking up his prizes "made sail" for the dwelling of his niece, a modest and intelligent-looking girl, who, on being presented with the valuables, expressed her gratitude; but being shortly afterwards apprized of the prices paid for them, informed her kinsman that he had been regularly "done for." Tinley immediately set out in quest of his " merchant sailor," and falling in with him, taxed him with the cheat. This the other denied, and offered to refund the money except ss. which he alleged he had spent. To the loss of the 6s. Tinley willingly assented, but the residue not being forthcoming, while Hockey endeavoured to bear off upon another tack, he was ultimately given into the hands of the police ; and the goods for which he had obtained three sovereigns were pronounced by judges not to be worth 6s. Hockey, who was defended by an attorney, averred that the transactions were bona fide sales. He was remanded for seven days. Throughout the investment, which has now lasted four months, the troops in all the redoubts and intrenchments have kept a vigilant look-out during the night, and, at their ap pointed stations, stood to their arms long before daydawn. In my depatch, No. 155, of the 29th ult., I informed your Lord ship of the arrival of the news of the fall of SebastOpol, and of the landing of Omar Pasha at Batoum. I also acquainted your Lordship with the fact that the Russian General was engaged in sending off immense trains of heavy baggage into Georgia, and showing every indication of a speedy retreat. This in no wise threw us off our guard, and Lieutenant-Colonel Lake was directed to strengthen many points in our extensive and undermanned lines, and among other works the tabia_ bearing my name was constructed. At 4 o'clock on the eventful morning of the 29th the ene my's columns were reported to be advancing on the Tahmasb front. They were three in number, supported by 24 guns ; the first or right column being directed on Tahmasb Tabia, the second on Yukseh Tabia, and the third on the breastwork called Rennison Lines. As soon as the first gun announced the approach of the enemy the reserves were put under arms in a central position, from which succours could be despatched either to Tahmasb or the English lines. The mist and imperfect light of the dawning day induced the enemy to believe that he was about to surprise us ; he ad vanced with his usual steadiness and intrepidity ; but on getting within range he was saluted with a crushing fire of artillery from all points of the line. This unexpected recep tion, however, only drew forth loud hurrahs from the Russian infantry as it rushed up the hill on the redoubts and breast works. These works poured forth a fire of musketry and rifles which told with fearful effects on the close columns of attack, more especially on the left one, which, being opposed by a battalion of 450 Chasseurs, armed with Minie rifles, was, after long and desperate fighting, completely broken and sent head long down the hill, leaving 860 dead on the field, besides those carried off by their comrades. The central column precipitated itself on the redoubts of Tahmasb and Yuksek Tabias, where desperate fighting oc curred and lasted for several hours, the enemy being repulsed in all his attempts to enter the closed redoubts, which mutu ally flanked each other with their artillery and musketry, and made terrible havoc in the ranks of the assailants; and it was here that Generals Kmety and Hussein Pasha, together with Major Teesdale, so conspicuously displayed their courage and conduct. Lieutenant-General Kereen Pasha also repaired to the scene of desperate strife to encourage the troops, and was wounded in the shoulder and had two horses killed under him. The right column of the Russian infantry, supported by a battery, eventually turned the left flank of the intrenched wing of the Tahmasb defences ; and while the Russian bat tery opened in the rear of the closed redoubt at its salient angle, their infantry penetrated considerably behind our position. Observing the commencement of this movement, and anti cipating its consequences, Lieutenant-Colonel Lake, who had taken the direction of affairs in the English Tabias, was in structed to send a battalion from Fort Lake to the assistance of the defenders of Tahmasb, and, at the same time, two bat talions of the reserves were moved across the flying bridge, and upon the rocky height of Laz Jeppe Tabia. These three reinforcing columns met each other at that point, and being hidden from the enemy by the rocky nature of the ground, confronted him at a most opportune moment. They deployed, and opened their fire, which stopped and soon drove back the enemy's reserves, which were then vigorously charged with the bayonet, at the same moment when General Kmety and Major Teesdale issued from the redoubts at Tahmasb, and charged the assailants. The whole of that portion of the enemy's infantry and artillery now broke, and fled down the heights under a murderous fire of musketry. This occurred at half-past 11, after a combat of seven hours. In this part of the field the enemy had, including his re serves, 22 battalions of infantry, a large force of Dragoons and Cossacks, together with 32 guns. While this struggle which I have attempted to describe was occurring at Tahmasb a most severe combat was going on at the eastern position of the line, called the English Tabias. About half-past five o'clock, a.m., a Russian column, con sisting of eight battalions of infantry, three regiments of cavalry, and 16 guns, advanced from the valley of Tehakmak, and assaulted those small redoubts, which after as stout a resistance as their unavoidably feeble garrison could oppose, fell into their hands, together with the connecting breast works, defended by townsmen and mountaineers from La zistan, whose clannish flags, according to their custom, were planted before them on the epaulements, and, consequently, fell into the enemy's hands ; but ere the firing had begun in this portion of the field, Captain Thompson had received orders to send a battalion of infantry from each of the heights of Karadagh and Arab Tabia to reinforce the English lines. This reinforcement descended the deep gully through which flows the Kars river, passed a bridge recently thrown across it, and ascended the opposite precipitous bank by a zig-zag path which led into the line of works named by the Turks Inglik Tabias' (the English Batteries). Their arrival was as opportune as that of the reserves directed towards •Tahmash, which I have had the honour to describe in the former part of this despatch. These battalions, joined to those directed by Lieutenant-Colonel Lake, gallantly attacked and drove the Russians out of the redoubts at the point of the bayonet, after the artillery of the enemy had been driven from those lines by the cross fire directed from Fort Lake and from Arab Tabia and from Karadagh, by Captain Thompson. This officer de serves my best thanks for having seized a favourable moment to remove a heavy gun from the eastern to the western ex tremity of Karadagh, and with it inflicted severe loss ou the enemy. After the Russian infantry was driven from the English redoubts, the whole of their attacking force of cavalry, artil lery and infantry retreated with precipitation, plied with round shot from all the batteries bearing on their columns. During their temporary success, however, the enemy captured two of our light guns, which the mortality among our horses from famine prevented our withdrawing from their advanced position. He also carried off his wounded and many of his dead ; yet he left 363 of the latter within and in front of these intrenchments ; and his retreat occurred at least an hoar before the assailants of Tahmasb were put to flight. During this combat, which lasted nearly seven hours, the Turkish infantry, as well as artillery, fought with the most determined courage ; and, when it is recollected that they had worked on their entrenchments and guarded them by night throughout a period extending to nearly four months, I think your Lordship will admit that they have proved themselves worthy of the admiration of Europe, and established an un doubted claim to be placed among the most distinguished of its troops. With regard to the enemy, as long as there was a chance of success he persevered with undaunted courage, and the Russian officers displayed the greatest gallantry. Their loss was immense ; they left on the field more than 5,000 dead, which it took the Turkish infantry four days to bury. Their wounded and prisoners in our possession amount to 160, while those who were carried off are said to be upwards of 7,000. As the garrison was afflicted with cholera, and I was appre hensive of a great increase of the malady, should this melan choly duty of the burial of the dead not be pushed forward with every possible vigour by our fatigued and jaded soldiers, I daily visited the scene of strife to encourage them in their almost endless task ; and I can assure your lordship that the whole battle-field presented a scene which is more easy to conceive than to describe, being literally covered with the enemy's dead and dying. The Turkish dead and wounded were removed on the night of the battle. The dead numbered 362, the wounded 631.

CRIMEAN PHOTOGRAPHS.—The splendid and . interesting collection of Photographs, made in the Crimea, by Mr. Roger Fenton, is now in the course of exhibition here by Messrs. Agnew and Sons, of Manchester, at whose instance-Mr. Fenton proceeded to the seat of war, for the express purpose of taking those truthful sun-pictures which are here displayed. The collection is to be published under the direct patronage of Her Majesty, the Emperor of the French, and Prince Albert. It embraces numerous views of the most celebrated scenes, correct representations of many incidents connected with the ever-memorable siege of Sebastopol, and a vast number of groups and individial portraits, whose names and achieve ments will form lasting ornaments in the page of history. The scenery is interesting on many accounts; and the series of eleven views, representing a panorama of the Plateau of Sebastopol, is suggestive of the most stirring emotions, con taining faithful delineations of Inkermann, Ralaklava, Cath cart's Hill, Mackenzie Heights, and other places, as seen from a point in which, by turning round, the spectator could com mand the whole of them, though distant. Another panorama of interest is that of the country between Inkermann and Balaklava, in five tableaux; and a third is that of Inkermann itself, including the Quarries,. and the Valley of the Tchernaya. The collection is also rich in incidents of camp-life, consisting of groups of officers and soldiers, showing the pastimes of military men of every grade, in the intervals of actual service in the trenches. By far the most interesting portion of the collection, to many spectators at all events, will be found to consist of the various portraits of distinguished men who played conspicuous parts in the great and fatal drama. Among these will be found faithful likenesses of Lord Raglan, of Marshal Pelissier, General Bosquet, Sir W. J. Codrington, Sir J. Simpson, Sir John Burgoyne, Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir Harry Jones, &c., &c., with the names of all of whom the reader is familiar. In every instance, the representation, whether of place, incident, or individual, is marked by that wonderful fidelity which constitutes the main charm of photographic pictures. The collection, which has been greatly admired by connoisseurs of every rank in London, will afford a high treat to those of our fellow-townsmen who take- an interest—and who does not ?—iu the subject of the Crimean war. THE MAYOR AT ST. PETER'S Cuuacu.—On Sunday the Mayor, John Stewart, Esq., attended St. Peter's Church, on the occasion of the annual sermon in aid of the Blue-coat Hospital. It is usual for the Mayor to be accompanied upon the occasion of his attending St. Peter's Church immediately after his election, by the members of the town council and some of the leading men of the town, and perhaps never on any occasion was there a larger attendance than on Sunday. The usual ceremonies were observed. The Mayor met the members of the town council and his other friends at the Town-hall. The boys from the Blue -coat School, headed by Mr. E.G. Deane, the treasurer, and the churchwardens, Messrs. Woodruff and Shaw, arrived in front of the Town-hall shortly before eleven o'clock. They formed the front of the proces sion. Immediately after them came thirty men of the fire brigade, under the command of Mr. Superintendent Hewitt, then the regalia of the corporation, and next the Mayor and the gentlemen who had assembled to accompany him to church. He was supported by Mr. T. B. Horsfall, M.P. for the borough, and the Rev. Rector Campbell, the preacher for the day. The members of the council and the friends of Mr. Stewart followed. Amongst those present were Messrs. Alderman J. B. Moore, M.P., Charles Turner, Alderman J. H. Turner, H. Littledale, Alderman Dover, Alderman Cooper, J. P. Campbell, J. Tyrer, Alderman Gardner, J. A.

OPERATIONS ON THE DNIEPER. A supplement of the Invalide Rune contains the following telegraphic despatch from Prince Gortschakoff : NICIIOLAIEFF, Oct. 31. The camp on the Spit of Kinburn, between the suburb and the fortress, has been broken up by the enemy. It is still impossible to determine exactly the strength of the garrison they have left in Kinburn. Their light vessels, though in smaller number, continue at their anchorage in the Bay of Octzakoff, or cruise in the liman, entering the embouchures of the Bug and Dnieper, and taking soundings, but without ascending very far up those rivers, or even to the points they reached when they first appeared. The fleet, the number of which has again slightly_ decreased since yesterday, is moored in, the same position. THE BATTLE OF KARS. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 10. The Earl of Clarendon has received a despatch from Major - General Williams, Her Majesty's Commissioner with the Turkish Army in Asia, of which the following is a copy :" KARS, Oct, 3. My Lord,—l had the honour to announce to your Lordship, on the evening of the 29th ult., the glorious victory gained on the morning of that day by the Sultan's troops on the heights above Kars, over the Russian army commanded by General Muravieff, andi now beg to furnish your Lordship with the principal incidents of that sanguinary battle. Your Lordship will, perhaps, recollect that in my despatch, No. 123, of the 26th of June, I stated that the Russian Gene ral, after his second demonstration against the southern face of our entrenchments, which is Ranked by Hafiz Pasha Tabia and Kanli Tabia, marched south, and established his camp at Bugah Tikine, a village situated alfout four miles from Kars. Knowing that General Muravieff served in the army which took Kars in 1828, I conceived his last manoeuvre to be pre paratory either to a reconnaissance, or an attack upon the heights of Tahmasb, whence the Russians successfully pushed their approaches in the year above cited. While, therefore, the enemy's columns were in march to wards Bugah Tikme, I visited those heights with Lieutenant- Colonel Lake, and, after studying the ground, decided upon the nature of the works to be thrown up ; these were planned and executed by Lieutenant-Colonel Lake with great skill and energy. I enclose for your Lordship's information a plan made by that officer of the town and its neighbouring heights, which are situated on the opposite side of the river of Kars Chi, over which three temporary bridges had been - thrown to keep up our communications. As all verbal des criptions or bird'seye views of ground convey but an imperfect idea of any locality, I beg to enclose a sketch made by Mr. Churchill, which will, I trust, tend to elucidate my descrip tion.. Your Lordship will observe that, while our camp and ma gazines in the town were rendered as safe as circumstances would allow, the hills above Kars commanded all, and were, therefore, the keys of our position. The intrenchments of Tahmasb, being those nearest the enemy's camp, demanded the greatest vigilance from all in trusted with their defence. General Kmety, a gallant Hun garian officer, commanded the division which occupied this eminence ; he was assisted by Major-General Hussein Pasha mid my- Aide-de-Camp, Major Teesdale, who has acted as his Chief of the Staff'.

Their light vessels remain at the anchorage near Otchakoff and Kinburn. • The Gazette Des Postes contains the following : VARNA; Nov. 4th. The fire of the batteries on the south side of Sebastopol against the northern forts doubled on the closing days of last month. Since the 30th ultimo floating batteries, armed with cannons of the strongest calibre, have been ready at Kamiesch, and are to take part in the fire against Fort Constantine. The fleet at Kinburn have received orders to send their mortars and laige gun-boals at the mouth of the Dneiper to Kamiesch. It is positively stated that after the arrival of these boats, a fire from land and sea will be simultaneously opened against the forts on the north side.
