COMINIERC lAL. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING Ztt gotta Sarittt. The Liverpool Cotton Market during the pass week was dull and inanimate, not so much result, • ing from an absence of enquiry, as from the desire evinced by receivers of the late import to realise without delay; consequently, with a supply in excess of the demand, the buyers were enabled to obtain an advantage of 1-16 d told per lb. on the middling and better classes, of which the new cotton principally consists, whilst the lower qualities remained comparatively un changed. Brazil and Egyptian were the same as last week. Surat in moderate request, at late rates. The weekly sales amounted to 58,510 bales, of which 7,450 were on speculation, and 4,560 for export.

Zln VrobisiatTs atarket; In the Liverpool Provision Market, during the past week, Beef remained in the same depressed state ; the sales were of the most trifling charac ter, and at prices in favour of buyers. A con siderable quantity of old American Pork changed hands; generally, however, the demand was unusually slow. Bacon, being more plentiful, declined is to 2s per cwt., without leading to activity ; the usual dulness at this season of the year has now set in, and it will probably continue till about the middle of next month. In Aord the transactions were of the most trifling Character. Cheese was firm, but buyers are cautious ; holders, however, were not pressing, feeling confident that prices must be maintained.

Corn Market to-day ;we had Dndance as of late, and country miller& bengiiiiem freely, but on the whole we had a fair demand for wheat, and sellers were firm In t: not so . . e , • • • A ruit 'W+Mrket . .. . (Front lioughton ,S• Levy's Fruit Cir6dar) Currants: Considering Chrislmas'is so near at hand, the demand has been good ; buyers have been trying to operate at lower- prices, but holders have been very firm, and quotations are unaltered. 'We are quite without fine fruit ; some good Gulp' has been sold at 31s. In the lower descriptions a fair business has been done in com mon Zante and Pirgos. There is a brisk enquiry for old fruit, but nothing offering on the market. The linty paid clearances for November reach 1,250 tons ; and for the past three months, 4,090 tons, against 2,722 the same period last year. Prices then were, however, 12s. to 20s. per cwt. higher than now. Raisins : Our market is nearly bare of all des criptions, and the supply has been nothing like sufficient for the demand. Valencias, having advanced so rapidly, are now cautiously dealt in ; the last cargoes to the trade have been nearly cleared. Muscatelles are much wanted, especially fine qualities, which would command extreme rates. A parcel of Perez common sold at 555, medium 65s to 70s. Turkey fruit, per Marathon, was offered at auction yesterday ; Elemes with drawn, only 41s bid—the bulk of the cargo is for London. Sultanas are, selling more freely. Figs: The market is in an unsatisfactory state, and to force sales lower prices must be accepted. Calamatta go off freely. Taps of good quality have commanded 275. Almonds: No Jordan on the market. French shell move slowly. A parcel of Sicily is on offer, but nothing yet done. Prunes are scarce. Plums sold at 255. A parcel of very inferior Dates : There are several parcels of Egyptian on offer, which are mostly out of condition ; 455. has been refused for sound. Nuts :No Barcelonas left. Black Spanish are held for 38s. Messinas sell slowly at 41s. Bra zils in good demand at 225. Walnuts sell in retail—Naples at 16s. Chesnuts enquired for, but none here. Green Fruit: For the season of the year we have had a very limited supply of Oranges, and prices are advancing; the first cargo of St. Michael's realised 27s ; Lisbon since then hive brought . 20s ; Palermo 9s to 9s 6d. Lemons go off slowly at 17s for Messina uses. Grapes are held for 355, there being only one good parcel on the market. Apples show no improvement, large parcels, having been held, are now selling at reduced rates, and the supply continues immo derate. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day the Funds remained stationary in price, with little business done.

Indian Corn was held with firm ness, and a fair quantity found buyers. From the country markets we have firm reports of the trade this week, prices of wheat fully supported, and in some cases rather exceeded, with a fair but not a large business doing; here we have had two quiet days; the millers' demand has been more upon the finest - wheats, than upon the common general run of American, the value of all descrip tions remaining about the same.

F. W. PR 0 M O L I) 30, CHURCH -STREET, (OPPOSITE PARSER-STREET), LLIVERPOOL. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1860. NEWS OF THE DAY. Files of papers Nom India, China, and Australia, have arrived in anticipation of the Overland Mail. They bring the most exciting and important news that has ever reached these shores from China. A sum mary of the leading events and incidents preceding and attendant upon the surrender of the capital of the Chinese Empire into the hands of the Allies, appeared in a third edition of our paper yesterday, and we now publish a detailed account of these stirring and astounding events--events which in many respects more than realise, for they almost exhaust, the imagination—. extracted from the North China Herald, and from the letters of correspondents at the scat of war. The length to which these interesting details extend, precludes all attempts at an enlarged comment on them ; but there are some explanations and supplementary par ticulars which our readers will no doubt expect to re ceive from us, as filling up the telegraphic outlines given of some of the occurrences. It is almost needless to mention that there is nothing new to be told regarding the fate of Captain Brabazon and Mr. Boulby, the Times' special correspondent. All We gather from the detailed accounts on this saddening subject is, that " no information has been obtained " concerning them. They are merely supposed to be with San-ko-lin-sin's army, but where, is not known,— a state of things which no doubt is a shade less dis comforting than would have been the existence of rumours or ptobable suspicions that they had met with foul play, or, like Capt. 'Anderson and Mr. de Norman, had sunk under that savage and brutal treatment from which even Mr. Parkes and Mr. Loch were not exempt. But, at the same time, the greatest uneasiness, and— alasl that it should be so—well-founded uneasiness will continue to be - entertained respecting them until they ere returned to the allied head-quarters. \V have, however, some highly interesting additional particulars respecting the circumstances attending the capture and restoration of Mr. Parkes and the other pri soners who have been released, which are communicated in letters written from the Camp, on the 9th and 13th of October. In the letter of, the 13th, which describes the barbarities inflicted on Captain Anderson and Mr. De Norman, under Which these gallant but unfortunate gentlemen succumbed, we are -told that the Sikh sergeant, and other survivors are suffering very much ) and that it will be long before they can return to duty ; and it is explained that when they were delivered up, they had been brought from a town some thirty or forty miles off, to which they were conveyed soon after their capture , . They had, howeyer, as we have previously said, neither seen nor heard anything of Captain Brabaaon or Mr. Boalby. A good deal of curiosity has been excited, and no little speculation indulged in, as to the difficulty which the ambassadors Were likely to experience in the eon . dad of the farther necessary negotiations with the Chinese, and the definitivesettlemelit and arrangethents to follow on the Capture cf the imperial city and the flight of the Emperor. These feelings will; it is to be hoped, be largely, if not fully, gratified, when there is n opportunity of perching the official despatches, Which are expected in London te-raorre* j hilt ineanwhile We may obs'oi•ve, that the writer of the letter Prom *dada we have last quoted does not appear 'celisible of the existence of any such stumbling-block as that which seems to be 'thus so much apprehended, for he says, in reference to the pour-parlers for the surrender of the capital, " The Emperor accedes to all our demands. Harry Parkes and Colonel Stephenson, the Deputy Adjutant General, went in a hall 'of reception outside this meriting to -confer with Hung Key (late Hoppo, or GoVernor, of Canton). They *told him the Uty 'Would be bombarded if it was not surrendered at noon:" It Will also be noticed that the pressnre 'of the population had great weight in indticing this funotionary to yield to this last-inentiorred alternative, which he appears to have done with a very good graCe, in the eireumstances. The looting 'of the Vinperor's palace is a chapter in this ebendkll history altogether by itself, and so it has been delt with by the naltatars of the inartellotts details connected with this remarkable feature in this most remarkable of all such'eVents—taking it all in all, in the present age of the world. The value of the seventy of eighty thousand rolls of silk alone, estimated as worth, in Canton, $25 each roll, which was stored hi the palace, amounted in money value to £373,000 sterling ; but this commodity was taken little account of by the eager soldiers when found in junta-position to heaps upon heaps of golden ingots and Sycee silver, sufficient of themselves to meet a large amount of the indemnity which the vanquished ate prepared to pay to the tong e rots. There is obviously some mistake in the statement that " the entire British share is estimated at 00,000 dollars." This estimated amount doubtless refers to some partial division of spoil, especially as we are told that the Oomniatider-in-Chief and the other general 'officers have generously agreed to waive their own rights in favour of the army at large. One would like also to be a little more enlightened as to the reason why the lion's share of the booty should appear to have been conceded to the French, who are numerically so inferior to the British troops. Lord Elgin seems to have sent for his brother, as soon as the occupation of Tien-tsin by the allies wa s completed ) and it is inferred that his lordship does not himself intend to remain over the Winter; but this inference ie, to sty the least, a Very doubtful one, a ll circtunstanees considered. • It would appear that the head-quarters of the troops are shortly to be moved back to the place last mentioned, and no doubt ,for weighty reasons, which can be - guessed-at.. Count 'goofier; the Russian Minister to the Court of Pekin, has joined the allies at Tien4sin, Where he intends to remain ; tint Mr. Ward, the American Minister, not knotting what to do with himself in presence of events so much beyond his ¶' calculations," has gone home. It only remains for its to notice that the feel ing of the Camp, as to the conduct of the Chinese authorities in complying with all the demands of the allies: seems to be that the former are in this instance, as at Tien-tsin in 1858, yielding under pressure, and that they would break all their engage; 'meats without hesitation the instant the troops were withdrawn from the country. Consequently, the only guarantee for the pfesthation of the advantages and successes Which have been obtained would seem to be the keeping of the ground which we have gained, —at all events, until a new Government, whose interest it would be to keep faith with us, shall have been strongly estab , lished in lieu,of the present Tartar dynasty: The latter it the Work to which Lord Elgin and Baron le Gros have now, without delay, to address themselves, and towards its accomplishment it is to be hoped some considerable progress has already been made. A large amount of specie and an immense quantity of military stores are already on their way from France to relnforee the French Fleet and Expedi tionary Corps itt China ; and still larger efforts are being made in this country for strengthening and sitstaining the British Contingent. ' On'this latter subject, by the ,way, we notice that the indefatigable Mr. G. F. Train, of road tramway celebrity, has offered, with a view to facilitate the conveyance of war material front Taku to Pekin, to lay doWn rails for hoist-pottier lietiveeii these two places, within three months after the date of ship ment of the rails. From Ningpo we learn that the insurgent movement in the neighbourhood of Shanghai has considerably increased the tea and silk trade at the former port. Should the apprOabhet td Shanghai he 'blocked up by the same cause for any length of time, that may possibly be the means of diverting a considerable amount of the trade of that port to Ningpo, particularly as both the tea and silk districts are nearer to Ningpo than to Shanghai, and there is an easier internal communication with the former. In Hong Kong the great event of the fortnight has been the visit of the 4 . apanese Ambaissitddrs, in the !Tug , nificent steam vessel Niagara. They and their suite have availed themselves of their stay at Hong Kong to make minute inquiries into various institutions of the place, The Fifth Bombay European Regiment having mutinied, it has been disbanded; and tint df the mutineers shoL Owing to the great length to which our account of the intelligence from the East extends, it will be seen that we have unavoidably been compelled to appro priate to it a large portion of the space which is usually devoted to general news and dthek Matters. THE DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1800. THE VICAR AND THE CHURCHWARDEN. THE Rev: JaiiN TTAtii is Vicar of the Parish of Enfield, and Captain CHARLEs BOSANQUET . is Churchwarden. Mr. BOSANQUET has for upwards of a quarter of a century been residing at Enfield. As a pious and benevolent man, he seems to have been moved to make sacrifices to secure some measure of spiritual Ministration to a large ..and poor iiOPrilatiori, in the neighbourhood of in that parish. To that end he devoted . a — Small house there possessed by him, and had it con verted into a chapel for the performance of ser vice according id the rites of the Protestarit Church of England. In 1855, the Chapel Was; unfortunately, burnt down: It was rebuilt by pri vate subscriptidris; ancl . re-opened in 1858: Or the funds so raised ter that iiiirpese r. ilosAtLitrEi procured between seven and: eight hundred pounds. These subscriptions were givenV.par ,, ties of purely Protestant sentiments, and . in the belief that the services were performed in a mariner Consonant to ". thcii feelings: They never antibipated What tolloWed: i fable opening services the celebration of , Divine wor ship was conducted in a manner which rendered it impossible for the Protestant founder and friends of the chapel to continue their attendance.. The Rev. Mr. HEATH selected a gentleman of the name ofEVAS . s to officiate, whose church views and practices gave rise• to Mich subsequent Unpleasantness, and to some m os t painful scenes ; which we are about to mentio n . The tomintinidii-table *as ehahged: A "slayer altar" was placed OT I " th e altar," or what had Inmunion-tabl e , been properly communion -table ; the white cloth; which alone ought to cove r the c o was almost entirely concealed; flowers w ere in troduced upon " the altar" in great abundance ;. the usual time of preaching was changed, and the sermon was introduced into the middle of the service ; the officiating minister appeared in gaudy vestments, having two crosses, embroidered in gold and silver, on the front, and. one on the back; he turned his back to th e congregation in the celebration of the Communion; he made move ments which seemed to refer to the elevation of the Host; here a choral service was added, and the organ was ordered to play during the Communion Service ;--so that altogether the se • rvice was more similar to that of Roman oC th aChapels than of the Reformed Protestant Church of England. Mr. B9,sANauET and his friends who had so handsomely assisted i n rearing the sacred edifice felt extremely disappointed. Remonstrance with the Vicar and Curate having been found to be in vain, Mr, BOSANQUET addressed a. letter to the Bishop of London calling his lordship's attention to the manner in which the services were being conducted, and a memorial was also signed by the principal inhabitants, protesting against these superstitious forms. The bishop sent down coin:- missioners to inquire. On receiving their report the Bishop pronounced his opinion on the subject, and directed certain alterations of the mode in which the services were aonducted-. Among other things his lordship ordered that the table should only be Covered With a clean white linen cloth, so as to be Visible to the Congregation; and that the musical ser viees at the time of the Communion should be ' discontinued. Instead of complying with the orders of the Bishop and the wishes of the parishioners, the Vicar and his Curate continued the services in their most objectionable form. ' The ChttrehWartlar, believing that he was simply doing his duty in carrying out the Diocesan's judgment, renioVed the super-par find took away the grand Fringe, This he did before the commencement of the service. This led to two assaults by the Vicar upon the Churchwarden—the one on Christmas Day, and the other on New Year's Day, both last—on which occasions the latter, while sitting in his pew, was violently laid hands on by the former and turned out of the chapel, Vvithou.t any want ing or reAtiest that he would :withdraw peaceably. The reverend gentlernan also th'onght it necessary to shut up his,Churchwarden in the vestry. The Vicar was called on to offer an apology, bat as he declined to do so the matter had lately came before a jury for damages in the Coart of Queen's Bench. The Rev, W. lEATH affects a " conscientious difficulty" in submitting his mode of conducting the services to any tribunal—not even to the Bishop of the Diocese, or to the Archbishop of Canterbury. As the proprietor of the ground on which the chapel stands, Mr. HEATH asserts and has exercised his right to close the chapel altogether. The suit in the Court of Queen's Bench was nominally for damages, although the Churchwarden again expressed his willingness to accept an apology, This also was again declined. The Lord Chief Justice pointed out that there was bat one other coarse left 'open to the parties, unless the trial Was to be proceeded With. There could be no doubt; his Lordship said, that prac tides for the most part observed in the Roman Catholic ritual, and which were not, until the innovations of recent times, a part of the Protes tant ritual, were highly offensive to a large portion of the Protestant community. 'ln this case persons had subscribed their money under the expectation that Divine Service would be perforated at this chapel according to the mode Of the Protestant worship ; but finding the set , - vices were stich as strongly to resemble the Roman Catholic mode ; they conscientiously say that; as Protestants, they ;could not participate in them. Under the circumstances his Lordship considered sonic compensation should be made to those sub scribers who objected to the mode in which the ser vices were perforMed. It was also suggested that it be referred to some gentleman of the bar to say to whom the money that had been subscribed for the erection should be tettirried, and to dispose of the other matters involved in the litigation then pending. This was mutually agreed to; and, for the present ; here the matter rests. In - few words the Vicar has agreed to buy off the Protestant objeetions, and become sole proprietor of the chapel, with right to please himself as to the manner in which he shall therein perform service. The next step, it is to be hoped, will be the withdrawal of his license by the Bishop, and then there Will be an end of the Clayhill chapel niiis~ri~@. The great mistake of the Protestant gentlemen who built the chapel was, in omitting to secure the ground: It belongs to the Rev. Mr. HEATa, and no amount of litigation can take it from hiin. The freehold ought to have been placed in the hands of trustees: The remedy now to be applied, namely, that of the sttbscribers getting back their Money ; is but an awkward shift, to say the least of it. They have, by reason of this blunder ; probably lost an opportunity of affording sound Protestant ministrations to a neglected locality. Let all good Christian people who in future would apply their money in a manner consonant with their feelings, learn a lesson. As to the Coridtiet df these reverend disturbers of the peace, we need say little, after giving shell a full narrative of the facts as stated in court. They speak best for themselves. The plea of "conscience" was well met by counsel, when he remarked that if the mode in which the service should be .perforined in Clayhill Chapel Was really a inatter of " ConsCierice kith the Vicar ; how did it happen that he had not iritkotitieed the . same form into the parish church, where a form of worship was used to which Mr. BOSANQUET and his friends had no objection P Perhaps the true elipianation is id he rolind in the fact somewhat 'Sarcastically alluded to by . the Lord chief Justice, when he said, " There might 'be a higher power of control over the parish church thah there was over the chapel." What a pity it is that these ‘i coiiselefitiadi adherents to obsolete and obnoxious forms of mediaeval times seem to have forgotten, or learnt to despise, the implicit deference and obedience anciently held to be due to the dideft; di the bishop. When the Protestant people of an Irish town feEeiltly showed some want of submission to the dictation of a Bishop, whom they looked upon as an enemy to Protestant truth, many reverend gentlemen, Who sYnipathised with the Bishop exclaimed, with upturned eyes and npiiited lianas, Uptegsite of pious horror, How irreligious and profane ! but when it comes to their turn, the authority of a Bishop is absolutely nought except in so far as it agreeii iiith their " consciences," of whatever stuff these clerical comihoditie9 may be composed. - We have no wish, however, to say one weltd td aggrarate existing diversities of opinion. We would rater tifge iipon tier& and laity the necessity, especially under preselit eiretithstanees, of strenuously endeavouring to discover sonid mode by which they shall agree to differ about mere matters of form. This is not the time when q.ctrehmeri can afford to be disunited. Complete and hearty 'anion and co-operation in defence of the rights of the Chtreh can alone sate them from grievous mutilation, if ndt from destruction. When an insidious and determined foe, marching under the banner of " church-rate abolition,' advances to undermine an important outpost, merely as the first step to an attack upon the citadel of the Church, it is high time that we should hear no more of those most painful and unseemly bickerings in sacred places and in profane courts of lctiv. The question of the day is not as to this of that inritter of detail in our national forms of worship, but ds th the very existence in any shape of such an institution tts a National Church. Let all who have a due sense of the blessings conferred upon the State by its holy alliance with the Church, take warning from the case above cited, and arouse hemselves to a full sense of their responsibility in such an emergency as the present. United we shall conquer—divided we shall fall. The Church expects that all the faithful, at this critical opoch, shall DO THEIR DUTY. DEATH OF THE EARL OF ABERDEEN. We deeply regret to announce the death, at half-past one o'clock yesterday morning, of the Earl of Aberdeen. He had been long in extreme ill health, and for the last few days had been sinking rapidly. His sons, Colonel Alexander and Mr. Arthur Gordon, were present at his death, which took place at Argyle-house. His eldest son, and the i n h er it or o f hi s t i t l e : an d esta t es , is, We belive, in Egypt. Lord Aberdeen was in his 77th year, having been born in Edinburgh in 1784. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROAI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, 14th Dec., 1860. The fact is now undoubted, that the Emperor has begged Francis 11. to discontinue the useless contest which he continues to wage with so much spirit, and has intimated ta4 his ex- Majesty that artless the reconariendation be complied with, the protection of the French fleet will be instantly withdrawn. Now, as Louis NaPereoil is the only real friend of whom Francis can boast at preSent, of possessing, there is every reason and hope for belieVing th it the latter *ill abt linen the advice: ' It is alto Otte trite; as forrheo4,theritictied; that the Emperor 3 s 'Using his utmost endeavour to induce Pius IX. to come to terms with Pied mont, though it is not considered likely that these efforts will be successful. It is stated that the idea which the French Government takes of the Italian question will shortly be developed in a new pamphlet, which is immediately to appear. This brochure, it is confidently asserted by those Who are, or Who fancy they are; in the secret, will contain a most pressing entreaty to the Austrian Government to treat for the cession of Venetia; iy the sole atid last remaining Meaas of accoMplishitift a solution of all the dil:Acul tieg telatiVe to the destiny of the new Italian kingdom. This same pamphlet, so important in its general character and as regards the source from which ,the author derives his inspiration, returns, in some degree, to the Utopia of an Italian Confederation, but the desire which it expresses on this point is a little less ardent than formerly. It is by the same author as Le Pape et le Congres, Napoleon 111. et l' Italie, &c. An interviEW is spoken of as having taken place a few days ago; between the Emperor and one of th archbishops who is Most in favoUr at the TuilerieS: The Prelate in question; who said he believed he Spoke the sentiments of his col . - leagUes, urged ttpon.

The Emperor, while indulging in some expressions of regret that the policy of invasion had prospered so largely in the hands of Victor Einmanuel, did not hesitate, it is said, to let his most reverend visitor under stand :that, so far as the restoration of the tem= poral power of the Pope to its former limits was concerned, there remained no other means or arms available but prayer. , Some of the French journals here lost no time in testing the extent of liberty and discussion permitted under the new Press _Regime. The Anti de In relgin especially has signalised itself by a wonderfully free-spoken leader, on the Eta peror's policy in general and two painphlets are expected daily to appear---one a " letter to the Senatei'' by M. le Comte d'Hausscinville; and another, which will be found , very well worthy bf attention , entitled ‘tAsiir la dOttstieutfori We 1852 decret chi 24 Nov.," the author of which •is M.

An angry discussion has taken place between the Porte and the Sardinian - Minister, on account of some Sardinian vessels having left for the Danube with munitions of war, supposed to be destined for Hungary or Servia. Three of the vessels were stopped, by order, at Sulina, and two htvtie proceeded. A Commission of Enquiry has been named for Bosnia and the Herze C4romde. The question of the occupation of Syria is still being discussed. The Porte appears likely to accede. Letters from Montenegro report the serious illness of the Prince. Russian Panslavist Propagandism is being very actively prosecuted throughout the provinces. The question of the loan is still undecided. Exchange steady. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 8. The ammunition brought by the Sardinian ves sels, which were stopped at Sulina, will be returned to Genoa. New commercial treaties are being negotiated between the Porte and France, and the Porte and England.

The Ost Deutsche Post, in a leading: article, says the accumulation of arms and ammunftion in Moldavia and Wallachia, and the organisation of foreign legions in Italy, are to be attributed to an eitensite scheme which partly aims at the separation of these provinces from the Porte, and partly at a rising of several other nationalities. Not only a Hungarian, but also a Polish legion has been organised.

The audience wel very numerous, and all seemed to highly appreciate an enjoy the richly intellectual and, we might say, artist entertainment presented. The masterly style in wh i t, the character and writings of honest, gentle, sirapl and charitable Noll were reviewed, elicited fregir applause. He justly pronounced the "Vicar of Iv a' e c i field" as a masterpiece of simplicity and purity; e n a `The Deserted Village" he, with equal truth, set dew ._ as Goldsmith's greatest poem. The course of Oli ver :! warm, devoted, and constant love was most feeling l y a and touchingly described; and we have seldom lis te i l 4, to anything finer than the picture drawn of dying scene. The incidental and yet copiori t's allusions to the great names of Goldsmith's and associates enabled all to realise a most life-.,t: picture of the times in which that immortal but It starred genius lived and wrote. The audience, as o f were for the hour, were carried back the streaf _ d time a hundred years, and moved about with a nd to the illustrious dead—such as Edmund Burke,4t; Joshua Reynolds, Johnson, Boswell, Garrick, &e• selections read were not less judiciously chosena,,6 they were splendidly and most effectively spoken. _`,ve Hermit " was a most choice morsel, and s o was the % et from " The Deserted Tillage."
