Rose, stipendiary magistrate, attended at the Police-office, Stoke upon-Trent, and took the deposition of Francis German, sergeant of police. The three prisoners who were taken on the previous afternoon, were brought up and placed at the bar. The evidence of the police sergeant was as fol lows :—" On Thursday morning I w‘s on du yat Mr Sparrow's coalpite, at Few on. A number of colliers came and demanded the men oat of the pit, from the butties. After remaining some time, they went in the direction of Fenton Park Collieries, followed by myself Superintendent Garnham, Inspector Stuart, and other officers of the force. One of the ringleaders was taken into custody, near .Bury Hill. I saw alt three of the prisoners there. A figh• com menced, and I saw one of them kick Superintendent Garn ham. One of them threw a stone and hit me. I should think there were about fifty colliers there. I saw one of the prisoners kick Inspector Stewart several times on the head, as he lay on the ground. I took him into custoday but he was rescued by the mob The mob ran away, I followed with three or four officers, and again took the man who kicked Inspector Stuart I left him in custody. and followed the others. The other two prisoners I found hiding under a fence, They took throneh a stream of water, but, finding escape impossible, surrendered. The prisoner, William Kay. is the person who kicked Super intendent Gsrnham ; William Booth the man who kicked Inspector Stuart ; and Low hit me with a stone." The prisoners were then remanded till Saturday the 26th inst. It was announced on Thursday evening, at Longton, that the colliers on " strike" would hold a meeting at eight o'clock on the folio ing morning, At that hour they began to assemble, and continued to do so ti 1 about nine, vehen a signal was given for them to proceed towards Fenton for the purpose cf turning out the men employed in some pits where they were at work. Chief superintendent Sweating, who was there with the Longton division of police, fol lowed the mob, and prevented them from turning out the men. Being roiled, the mob proceeded through Fenton to Henley, and Mr. Sweating leaving_ the Longton police to protect its own district, pr o c e ed e d at once to Hanky and turned oat the police force there, and followed the colliers to Burntwood Pit, belonging to Earl Granville. at Far Green, near Hanley; there could not have been fewer than 1,500 colliers present, ard when the police arrived they had partially succeeded in turning out the men. On the eppearance of the police they proceo 'ed to Market Piece, Henley, where they atsembled in great numbers. Daring Monday, while turning out the men at some of the pits, ono of the ringleaders among the colliers threa tened a banksmsn, that if he did not have the men drawn out of the pit, he vrould'throw him down it. As the man was known, Chief-superintendent Sweating took out a warrant for his apprehension This man was in the crowd in the Market Place at Henley, on the morning, and was arrested. The crowd at once commenced pelting the police with stones and brickbats. The chops we e imme diately closed, and a breach of the peace appeared immi nent. The police who were present i n considerable force, succeeded in capturing five of the most active in the attack on the police, and in dispersing the crowd. The colliers have fixed to hold a meeting on Saturday evening, at eleven o'clock. The magistrates had sworn in thirty special constables at Longton, and 300 at Hanley, in the course of the day. The chief constable, Colonel Hogg, is on the spot. A CCID3NTS.—James White was at work on board the ship Arab, and by accidentally falling into the hold, he received some very serious injuries in the hip and thigh. He lies at the Northern Hospital in rather a precarious state.—Lawrence Mahony, a ship keeper, fell into the hold of the African steamer Gambia, and was seriously injured about •he back and head, and is at present in the Northern Hospital, where every attention is being paid to his case. HOUSE ROBBERIES —During the past week several house robberies have taken place in the town and suburbs. On Saturday morning the house of Mr. James Crosfield, Lodge-lane, was entered from the back, and a quantity of silver plate and clothes stolen thereout. On the same morning, the house of Mrs. Mary Woodward, of Mulberry street, was entered, and a quantity of silver plate, silk dresses, and other property, to the value of .£3O, stolen therefrom. PROBABLI MEMOR ALS OF THE SIEGE OF LATITOM HOUSE. A few days ago, as some of Lard Sktlmersdale's w)rkmen were opening a portion of the pleasure ground at the west side of Lathers Housr, they discovered three human skeletons, is a pflrfelt state of preverration, one being six feet in length, ard having all the teeth perfect. The skeletons are supposed to b the remains of yerions in'crrsd during the prolonged and memcrable siege of Lathom House, in the years 1643-44. Two of the skeletons have been taken np, and deposited inside Lathom Pa k Chapel. —.Freston Chronicle ARRIVAL OF THE SIAMESE AktnAssAnoas.—These dis• tinguished personages arrived here yesterday by special train from Manchester.

The stay of the party its Liverpool will depend on circumstances—probably they will remain a week. - . I . I I2'SSS. WESSEL AND KUKLA'S New GAS STOVES.—At the Architectural Society, on Wednesday last, Mr. Frank 11-avard again drew attention to Messrs. Wessel and Kukle's gee stoves, of which a full description appeared in our columns a fortnight since. He stated that it had been introduced into the Museum cf Applied Science, in Colquitt-street, and had effected in a few nights what had never previously been attained, although a fire had been kept burning as long as practicats!e, and twenty-seven gas jets, night and day—viz : the specimens had been dry for the first time since their deposit. A single jet on half tap, applied to one cf these stoves, had thoroughly warmed and dried the atmosphere, as he had the authority of Mr. T. C. Archer for stating. On Thursday last Dr. Edwards gave a lecture on Heat, and Mr. Mercer introduced this stove to the attention of the Chemists' Associa'ion. A long and interesting discussion took place on the advantages of this new stove, and Dr. Edwards admitted that there were advantages attendant upon this mode of diffusing heat, which could not be claimed for any other invention. Mr Alderman Bennett corroborated this view of the invention, and when Mr. Abraham expressed his opinion that it was only an application of the principle of the argand burners, pointed out the distinctive feature. and stated that the other form of burners advocated by Mr. Abraham had been tried and found inefficient, besides producing a most disagreeable smell, which was entirely avoided by Messrs. Weasel sad Kukla's invention. THE DUNDALK AND MIDLAND STEAM COMPANY'S NEW BOAT " INDEPENDENCE.”—On Friday we had an opportu nity of inspecting this new iren boat, and it may be said th .t, in all her details, she is one of the finest paddle steamers in the channel trade. Amid the depression that has prevailed, but which it is holed is now, if not over come, has passed the worst, it is something cheering to find that enterprising company produce an addition to our fine coasting fleet, and amongst all the boa's lately added to trade between this port and the surrounding Islands, the Independence may fairly challenge competition with any paddle-wheel steamer on any station. It is an established fact that, every day, experience suggests considerable im provements in ships, and in none has so much valuable improvement taken place as in our costwise plying stea mers. The boat now under notice is a specimen where a combination of talent has been brought to bear, and where hardly anything remains to be desired. On looking at the vessel from the dock quay she is strikingly attractive. Her fine lines and appropriate build causes one to look at her with interest. On going through her she presents a variety of features that are novel and attractive, and one inspec tion of this handsome and elegant boat cannot fail to im press the visitor with a true notion of her superiority. Long since the legislature turned its attention to the accomodvion afforded by such boats to deck passengers, bnt in the Independence there is no place for deck passengers at all—cabins being provided for all, and cabins too, with light, ventilation, and every other requisite. There are three classes of cabins—first, second, and third, for pas sengers—the latter, with the exception of luxuries, provide against cold, &c., as well as the first The sleeping berths, retiring rooms, closets, lavatories, &c., are all on new principles, and so complete, that nothing remains to be done—the entire internal economy of this ship is the best we have seen. She is 200 feet long, and about 25 beam (across the paddles nearly 47 feet), with a depth of over 13 feet of hold. Her nominal tonnage is nearly 400; but, of course, she can carry the usual amount of cargo for that figure. Her engines are of 220 horse power, capable of working up to 400, and were made by the eminent makers —Nelsons', of Glasgow. She is commanded by Mr. Henry Byrne, who is well worthy to be master of such a fine vessel, not only for his qualities as an able and experienced seaman, but his polite attention to all who have travelled with him in the trade for years, and who have accorded to him the highest rased of praise, with interesting testimonials of the most flattering, and deserved description. There are many details connected with this fine ship that we cannot refer to particularly, but in conclusion it may be remarked that every department is found as complete as if she were intended for a private residence instead of a steam-boat. On her trial trips she made, easily, 13! knots an hour, and it is expected when she is in smooth working order her speed will be much augmented. The admirers of naval architecture will be delighted with an inspection of this truly noble steamer.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening. There was a much better demand for Cotton to day, ani prices, under the inflaenoe of the improved position of the Bink of England, have improved from j i to 2 „ per lb. The sales were fully 10,000 bales, one-half 1 - Bing on speculation. The Liverpool Share Market was much. more buoyant to-day, and prices shows a considerable advance, with a good business doing. We notice sales as follows : - - Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire, 70; Blackburn, 9 9-16; Caledonian, 401, 404 ; Eastern Counties, 111; East Lanca shire, 91 ; Great Western, 53; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 93, 03k. 931 93-,1.; Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport, 16 t 1 ,-; London and South Wes tern, 96, 961, 9IL 96$ ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 391, 391 392, 39a ; Midland, 882, 88i; North Eastern, 24; York Capital Stock, 411 ; North Staffordshire, 3 7-16 d ; Dovers, 202-. 202, 202-, 201, 201 ; Dutch Rhenish, 41, 51 d ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 105, 102, 108, 10f- ; Great Luxembourg, 75; Cupiapo Mines, 5 d; Bank of Liverpool, 22. There is a marked improvement in the Money Market, and 9 per cent. is the currant charge for first class bills in Lombard-street. Owing to the satisfactory Bank return, it is thought that an official alteration in the rate cannot be delayed be yond next Thursday. The Bankers' Circular of to day makes the following remarks on the state of the market. During the last week the improved state of the Bank of England has been so generally anticipated that the Roney Market has assumed a vary decided improvement ; this opinion has been confirmed by the Gazette returns, pub• lished last night, by which it will be found that the stock of gold coin and bullion has increased by £1,381,366, making a total of £9,450,855 in both departments, which closely approaches the amount held by the Bank on the Bth of October, when the rate of discount was raised to 6 per cent., the total at that da'e being £10,109 943. Ex pectations have been raised in some quarters that the Bank would have reduced its rate on the strength of these returns ; but they cannot have been founded upon a know ledge of the actual position of the Bank under the Indem. nity Biil, which gives to it no security, except on the con dition of maintaining the minimum rate of discount at 10 per cent. If the sum granted under the Treasury letter be withdrawn from the Bank, the progress of its condition since that measure was adopted, will nave been as under : Gold Coin and Bullion. Nov. 11.

Do. .... 1,900,485 8,069.489 16. Do. Do. 3,757,175 9,430 855 It will be seen that the Bank exceeded its legal issue only two weeks, and that the highest amount of excess was less than a million. It has now returned to its normal condition ; but considering the state of public feeling, and the unsettled condition of commerce, the margin of notes represented by the last return, is not sufficient to enable the Bank to throw off the protection of the law, by reducing its rate of discount below ten per cent. It is true that the pressure on the Bank's resources has greatly diminished, and bills are discounted below the Bank rate from one-half to one per cent., yet it would produce an indescribable confusion in the monied and commercial world, were the Bank to place itself again under the necessity of appealing to Parliament for protection. The Bank of France has '3 qualised its rate of discount once more to six per cent without distinction, which will produce a beneficial effect, for there were already symptoms abroad that the commercial classes of that country must give way under the recent heavy rates Failures of considerable magnitude amongst our own merchants and manufacturers still continue, several of whom manifest in their accounts the extreme pressure upon their resources, and the depreciated value of produce and securities of all descriptions forming a sad contrast to that boasted prosperity, which Government have so long pro claimed through their several organs, NI hen referring to our foreign commerce. The Market for the Public Funds and Securities has been rather buoyant to-day, and prices are much firmer than yesterday.

In the London Produce Markets this week busi ness has been in a most languid state, the home trade being disinclined to buy more than they im mediately require, and most of the principal articles are obtainable upon easier terms. Sugar, in which the transactions have not been numerous, has receded 13 to 2s per cwt., and coffee is is per cwt cheaper, although the supply has not been large. Cocoa is at almost nominal rates, the demand being very inactive. Tea is steady, at a small advance, and rice is at slightly reduced quotations. Spices are in rather more request, and some of the prin cipal descriptions are dearer. Saltpetre has been offered at lower rates, but these have not attracted buyers. Tallow has remained steady. During the past week, several first-class buyers have been in Leeds, but their transactions have been limited, their principal object having been to ascertain the condition of affairs here. The gene ral tone of trade is exceedingly dull and languid. At Bradford an entire cessation of business has taken place, the chief attention of commercial men being occupied in discussing the disasters which have lately taken place in the woollen and worsted trade, The production of both goods and worsted yarn is being still further curtailed, and it is ex pected that, during the Christmas week, all the mills will be entirely stopped Business at Halifax has been exceedingly dull, and it is difficult to quote any reliable prices for wools and piece goods, as purchases were in several instances made at materially reduced rates. At. Manchester, there are no symptoms of any improvement in the general state of trade. All descriptions of cloths aro difficult of sale, and prices in almost all instances have experienced a decided decline. COMMERCIAL FAILURES. [Fhe following appeared in our Second Editi n of Saturday morning : --] On Friday, the bills were returned of Messrs. William Dray and Co., engineers and agricultural implement makers It is stated that the liabilities of Messrs. Jonathan Hills and Sons, bankers, of Dartford and Gravesend, amonnt to about £40,000. The Times gives a list of the principal suspensions announced in London since the beginning of October. The number is fifty five, and the liabilities are estimated at £15,000,000 to £16,000,000. The liabilities of houses suspended in the provinces are computed to amount to £35,000,000 at a very moderate calculation, but this includes the debts of five banks, amounting to £23,000,000. The total is £50,000,000. Mr. George Lyall, a director of the Bank of England, has been elected member for Whitehaven, without oppo sition. M. Verhagen, a distinguished Liberal, has been elected President of the Legislature. A moderate course of action is expected from the victorious liberals. A MURDER IN NORTH DEvON.—A. young man, residing at Lynton, in North Devon, has murdered his sweetheart in cold blood. No cause of provocation is stated. Tim REFORM 13 , LL —The memorial is signed by the the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Oxford, several noblemen and a large number of gentlemen con nected with the Universities. SUICIDE ON THE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—A few evenings ago a man about 60 years of age, whore name has not yet been ascertained, committed suicide by placing himself in front of a train on the Staines. Woking, and Wokingham branch of the South Western Railway. The driver hallooed to the man, and gave warning by the whistle, but in an instant the train was upon him, and he was knocked down. On the train reaching the next station the driver communicated to the station master what had occurred, and some men were sent back to look after the unfortunate man. After proceedicg a little distance the man was found on the up line, lying wish his face downwards, and life was extinct. He had not been injured by the wheels of the carriages or engine, and death appeared to have been instantaneous from a severe blow on the chest. Both leg were broken, and h 3 was much bruised about the face. The decased had been seen in the neighbourhood a few days previously, aid, though his appearance was neat and clean, it was evident to those who saw him th It he was in circumstances of weat distress, and was travelling through the country soliciting alms. He was very dejected and melancholy, probably in con sequence of his destitute posi6en. The only money he bad in h's possession was a sixpence. There was no footpath or public right of way across the line of railway, so that the deceased must have gone there for the purpose of committing suicide. HOLYWEL 1,-STREET IN DUBLIN.—On Wednesday a search for books and prints of an immoral and debasing tendency, such as was recently instituted in London under the new Act of Lord Campbell, took place in this city with most successful results. For months past it had been known to the police that prints and publications of a character -opposed to all propriety and decency had been vended in particular establishments, but the traffic had been so skil fully conducted as to render detection impossible under the terms of the original Act, which merely applied in cases where these productions were exposed to the public gaze. More I ecently, 11 , wever, upon the passing of the Act intro. decal by Lord Campbell in the late session of Parliament, the provisions of which were found to apply to this city, active measures were taken by the authorities to suppress the evil. The information pointed chiefly to shops in Brunswick-street, Wellington-quay, and Wtnetavern-street, owned by the same person; and to another house in 11' Olier street, the proprietor of which, from having no regular con nexion with the business of publication, was less liable to be suspected. Search warrants, however, could not be obtained unless an actual sale was proved but this difficulty having been overcome, the entire of the men of the G division, armed with the requisite legal authority, proceeded in detachments shortly after 10 o'clock a.m. on Wednesday, to sear ch these different premises. In the house in Bruns wick-street alone were found piles of books, prints. &c , composing in the aggregate as much as could be carried by two men—all being of the most disgraceful nature ; but in addition to these vicious productions of a more ordinary charac'er were plaster casts and other objects revealing a degree c f infamy and moral degradation as to which it would have been impossible previously to have formed even a surmise. The c llection likewise included two copper plates, through the instrumentality of which the proprietor could reprint his stock ad libitum without the necessity and risk of importation. The search was of the most prolonged and harassing nature, the specimens of moral filth being concealed in bags, under heaps of rags, and in the most unlikely and intricate hiding places. The detective police were occupied in this quarter alone until after G o'clock. In Winetavern-street, a number of books, pamphlets, and " choice illustrations " were pounced upon and carried away. In D'Olier-street, however, the art was of "a higher " class, bespeaking its continental origin. The spoils having been duly seized and carried off, sum monses were served upon the proprietors of these several establishments, enforcing their attendance at College street police-office before the magistrates, who have the power of remanding them to stand their trial for a misde meanour. The prints, &c., will be destroyed when the proper time arrives.
