There is still the same stringency in the Money Market which we have noticed almost daily during the past week. Alluding to this topic, Messrs. T. and H. Littledale, in their excellent monthly circular, issued this afternoon, say :—" No scarcity has been felt in the supply of Money for commercial purposes, but high rates have been charged throughout the month—generally per cent above the Bank rate—under the apprehension that the Bank would equalise the minimura at 7 per cent on all Bills. The report is, that the position of the Bank of France is somewhat improved, which is confirmed by the firmer tone of the Paris Bourse—the withdrawal of Gold. from the Bank of England, too, has almost subsided—but-there is still an uneasy feeling in political affairs, and great uncertainty as to when Money matters will right them selves. The movement has caused a complete suspension of all newly projected schemes, even before their formation was completed, and as such the moment the continental crisis is at an end, and Gold no longer wanted, Money will probably burst into sud Jen abundance, and we may h a repetition of the downward mov From th remarks lent, as in the spring." same circular, we take the following general " The very strong position of our produce markets during the past month has singularly borne cut the remarks made upon the leading articles of import in our last circular. Each one, with the excep. tion of coffee, which remains stationary, has experienced a moderate advance in value—sugar, molasses, tea, salt. petre, indigo, and cotton—and this in the face of increased' stringency in the money market. What the advance in prices, and what the excitement from speculation would have been, had the rates of discount remained at 4 per cent. instead of 7, it is difficult to say; certainly at no former period have the high rates of money been so little felt, or had so little influence as at present, but that is no justification of such rates as are now being imposed, or any sound plea in favour of a monetary system, that entails such violent changes, uncertainty , and discourage ment to commerce. The position of our markets is still healthy, and the reports by late mails from the different countries of supply, particularly China, Calcutta, and the United States, speaking strongly of deficiency in exports, give confidence to holders on this side, and even higher prices may be anticipated in some two or three leading products should these reports be confirmed ; but these rates are not such as prudent importers would follow." The London Consol Market to-day was tolerably steady, and prices had rather an upward tendency. Sales were made at 923 ff, and 92i for money, and 921 93, and 931 for transfer. There was little or no change in the rates of Exchequer Bills. The New Three Per Cents. realised 931. The last rates are as follows :—Consols, 921 921 for money, an i 93 to 933 for account. The New Threes, 911 to 92/. Bank Stock has risen to 214 216. Exchequer Bills, ls. dis, to 2s. prem. A firmer and more active feeling was observable in the London Stock Exchange for railway property, and the following dealings were effected :—Caledonian, 56/, 6, a Eastern Counties, 91.

The Grain Markets throughout the country have been rather tame during the week, and to-day, at our Corn Exchange, there was very little business transacted, although, in most instances, buyers had rather the advantage in price. Reports of the markets held to-day in London, Dublin, Cork, &c , from which it will bo peiceived that the prevailing feeling in all these places was one of langour. By the steam-ship Persia we have advices from New York to the 29th ult. The Money Market was rather tringent, but the rates of discount were unchanged. The Persia brings 1,490,000 d. liars in specie, and the Ericsson which sailed from New Yerk for this port, had about 200,000 dollars on board. We regret to observe that several failures had taken place, they include F. Perry and Co., produce :dealers, whose liabilities were stated to be 400,000 dollars ; also, .1. Beck and Co., dry goods dealers in Broadway, and long known in the retail trade as rivals of Stewart. Their liabilities, chiefly distributed among the heavy importers or foreign houses, are estimated at 800,000 dollars, and we understand they will be able to pay 80 cents. in the dollar. In addition to the foregoing items it was said that a house in the provision trade failed for a rather heavy sum, The New York Cotton Market was rather tame, and prices are reported to have receded lc per lb. With regard to the new crop, there is not any ad ditional intelligence ; at the same time hopes were enter tained that the actual yield would not turn out as bad as was represented.

To say that the illustrious strangers were well received is nothing but the truth, at the same time it was anything but enthusiastic. We have detailed at length the proceedings which took place during his lord ship's stay. From that report it will be observed that, as in Manchester, addresses N‘ ere presented, to all of which replies were delivered, characteristic of the reserve and style for which the noble Premier is so renowned. The addresses were commonplace enough, for they ail studiously avoided allusion to any question likely to induce his Lordship to enter into debate able matter. This was a judicious course, and contrasted strongly with the conduct of our neigh bours of Manchester, who could not avoid venting a little of their jealousy and spleen, by denouncing the Liverpool Town Dues ; and, in that denunciation, adopting a style of language not only objectionable, but which proved to a demonstration, that its au thors are among that class of unfortunate creatures who disdain and disregard the binding obligations of the ninth precept of the Decalogue. Truly, it was the height of inconsistency to hear some of the Cotton Lords of Manchester lecture before Lord Palmerston on the advantages of mental and moral culture, and afterwards to rail against the Town Dues of Liverpool, libel and vituperate against their further continuance, and seek to jaundice the feelings of a nobleman who should govern for the welfare of the many, regardless of the sneaking de signs of theleading spirits of the Manchester district. When Lord Palmerston takes time to reflect upon the tone of the addresses of the Corporations of Manchester and Liverpool, he cannot fail to detect the arrogant and dictatorial styl e o f t h e f ormer, whilst he must admire the gentlemanly forbearance of the latter, in studiously avoiding to utter one word which could lead him to think that they desired him to refer to, or speak upon, any question , on which it was the intention of himself and his Cabinet to propose legislative measures. Let us hope that, brief though his visit has been, he has seen enough to convince him that the Liverpool authorities are not the hungry cormorants that the leading politicians of Man chester have had the effrontery to set forth—that they enjoy their rights to the Town Dues by a title as valid and binding in law and equity, as Cobden, Bright, and Co., do their private estates ill report of the arrival Our readers will find a and progress of Lord Palmerston in another part of to-day's impression. We have reported at some length a trial before Mr. Mansfield and Alderman Holme, in the Police Court, yesterday, in which the Health Committee had had instituted proceedings against Messrs. Cannington, glass bottle manufacturers, in Vaux hall-road, for smoke nuisance. It appears that the Health Committee have taken all the pains they could to induce the defendants to abolish the nuisance, but in vain They first pleaded, that the law did not take cognizance of works such as theirs; and secondly, that there were no appliances at their command, that would effect the desired object. The fact of the nuisance being proved, it was shown that, there was abundant ways and means to abate the nuisance, Mr. Cannington conducted his own defence with great ability, for which Mr. Mansfield com plimented him, but the bench came to the decision of having the information for malconstruction withdrawn, and inflicting a fine of and costs, for negligently working the furnaces. The Persia has arrived. She has made another rapid passage—nine days and five hours ; and brings us later news, 183 passengers, and close on a million And a quarter dollars of specie. Our Yankee Cousins are in a perfect furor about the presidential campaign, but the tables appear to have been turned, for, as will be seen by the excel lent letter of our New York Correspondent, Colonel Fremont's chance of occupying the proud posi tion of Chief Magistrate of the United States, is is now daily decreasing, whilst his rival, Mr. Buchanan, is constantly increasing in popu lar favour. Last week, some of our cotem_ poraries gave great publicity to a smal ,contest between General Walker and his enemies near Maraya, and routed them The affair was hardly worth being termed a military skirmish, and cannot exercise any real influence upon the contest now raging in that quarter. For details of _the Persia's news, and _our New York Correspon dent's letter we refer to other columns of this morning's publication. The Eastern question is just as confused and as complicated as ever. We are told that we are not to consider Reschid Pacha's return to power to France. Nevertheless, it is announced that orders have been despatched to M. Thouvenel to require an explanation regarding the ministerial changes. as an event The accounts from Naples ar3 of a very unin teresting nature. An English and a French eteamer are cruising off the bay, and the officers are visiting the lions of Naples—a pleasure to which they are solely indebted to the obstinacy of King Ferdinand. Who will dare say in future that the Neapolitan question has been without a result ? Our last advices inform us that the King entered his capital on the 30th ultimo, and held a Council of Ministers. An envoy had left for Rome, charged with a mission. He was expected to return to Gaeta on the Bth. It is said the French and English vessels cruising off Naples are to remain in observation, and are to be successively relieved by Attwrs.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING The Cotton Market is steady, but not active. There was a fair attendance of the trade, but no one bought largely. The sales were estimated at 6.000 bales, at about previous rates. Respecting the weeks' proceedings, &c , we extract the following from the circular prepared and issued by Messrs. Wright, Junior & Co., for the sailing of the Niagara to-day :—" At the time of closing our circular adviees of the 3 . ltt ult., per Europa, our cotton market wore a quiet aspect, and prices were somewhat irregular. On the following day the Arago's accounts had a depress ing influence, which was more manifestly obvious on receipt of the Niagara's news, on Monday, reporting a decline in rates and increasing receipts at the southern shipping ports. For a time these advices not only checked the speculative enquiry, but induced the trade to limit their purchases, the sales on Tuesday not exceeding 2.000 hales, 1,000 of which only were American. In view, however, of the small shipments in progress to this country, and the space that must necessarily elapse before arrivals in quantity can augment our diminishing stock, and the probability of such being reduced to insignificant figures, holders evinced no disposition to press sales, and the only change we have to notice is a curtailed demand, with a slight yielding in rates by those who, from any cause, are more anxious to realise. On Wednesday, and subsequently we have experienced a more general enquiry; but the trade holding a present supply, evi &lice reluctance to embrace large transactions at existing currency, particularly under the promise of a more liberal import, though it may be retarded, and with a very unsettled future aspect to monetary affairs. There is a fair enquiry to-day, but none buy largely ; the estimated sales are 6,000 bales, 1,000 to speculators and exporters, the market closing quietly but steadily at a reduction of id in fair and ordinary qualities, and 1-16 d on middling grades, excepting Orleans, which, from their scarcity, command last week's quotations. The total sales of the week amount to 29,260 bales, of which 20,460 are American. Speculators have taken 2,300, and exporters 3,130, leaving 23,830 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for same time is 11,296 bales, of which 2,882 are American. The quantity known to be at sea from American ports is about 14,000 bales. _ _ NORTI FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, AMERICA. FRANCE ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs,. has made the newspapers deny the assertion of the London Times and Observer, that Russia has restored to him the estates of his family in Poland. He says that he does not possess any property in Poland, ..and that the Russian Government never confiscated any estate belonging to his family. Apropos to Count Walewski, it may be well to state that,'strictly speaking, he ha's no family, he having the misfortune, like Count de Morny, to be of illegitimate birth. His putative father was the first Emperor Napoleon, and his mother a Polish Countess, being separated from her husband. I have nothing new to communicate about the differences between France and England, which created such great sensation yesterday. A despatch from Marseilles gives news from Naples to the 3rd. A French frigate and an English advice boat had arrived, and had saluted the forts. They were to remain for a time, and were then to be relieved by others. The officers had gone ashore, but it is not stated how they were received. The Kind, after the departure of the ambassadors, arrived from Gaeta, and held a Cabinet Council. There was a talk of the early publication of sun dry decrees. The King had sent an envoy on a mission to Rome. it is supposed that his mission was to request the Pope to exercise his influence to bring about an arrangement with the Western Powers. The Bourse has been better to day. The great fears that were caused, yesterday, by the state of affairs with England, had subsided. There was a report that the Bank of France will soon be able to discount bills at seventy five days' date, instead of only sixty, as at present. The funeral of Paul Delaroche, the painter, has taken place to day; it was attended by a great number of persons. St Petersburg letters announce the departure of the Grand Duke and Duchess Constantine for a foreign country. They say that greater attention than ever is paid to Count de Morny. They inform us that large bodies of troops are collected in Southern Russia, but declare that the Govern ment is sincerely anxious for peace. A Frankfort paper alleges that England is about to send a military force into Sicily, but the state ment does not seem deserving of credit. ' AMERICAN AFFAIRS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT NEW YORK, OCT., 29, 1856 The Congressional elections have been held in a sufficient number of states, to show that the Buchanan, or Democratic party. will have a clear majority in the next Congress, which is elected for two years, so that one half of the next Presidential term is sure of a Democratic Senate and House of Representatives The cause for this somewhat unexpected result is the fact, that the Fillmoreites have almost universally united with the Buchanan men to defeat the Republicans. The latter now claim that the election of Fremont is doubly necessary, that he may veto the schemes which the Slavery Propagandists will try to force through a subservient Congress. He can still (if elected) officer Kansas properly, so that justice can be had in that territory, and can put his executive veto upon any new schemes of the Slavery-extension Party. Should Mr. Buchanan be elected—and the prospect is good for him—he will, with his cabinet, have no opposition in emigres* to any mad territorial annexation which may be planned. Undoubtedly an attempt will be made to buy or take Cuba, make Kansas a Slave State, and bring in Nicar agua into the Union. I must call your special attention to a recent significant movement. The Hon. Pierre Soule, so notorious as our quondam Ambassador at the Spanish Court, has recently bought a plantation in Nicaragua for ten thousand pounds--a vast estate—and is going there to reside; and just at this juncture, General Walker, after consulting with this renowned filibuster, has repealed the old laws of Nicaragua which prohibit slavery. So that now slavery is guaranteed by the General, what , does this all mean? Simply that the Hon. Pierre Soule and General Walker are bent on annexing Nicaragua, as Texas was annexed to this country, and Mr. Soule would consent to represent the new state in the American Senate. Now there is a contingency and an important one to be considered, can Nicaragua maintain its independence ? Accord ing to the latest advices, General Walker gave battle to the enemy near Massaya and was vietolious. But the accounts are all from Walker ' s men and are to be disbelieved. He and his small army are evidently in a dangerous position. They are sur rounded by enemies on every hand, and it is doubtful if they can stand for three months longer. If Mr. Buchanan is elected it will- give them " aid and comfort," and they will probably receive such reinforcements as will enable them to hold their ground. The news from Kansan is not especially important. An emigrant train from the Free States had been arrested by Governor Geary, their arms taken from them, and they examined as if they had been so many highway robbers instead of men, women, and children come to settle in houses. But they were finally released, there being no pretext for continuing the imprisonment. United States' troops made the arrrest. The final arrangements for the elections, which occur a week hence, are made, and the great con test will soon be decided. Mr. Fremont has a chance, but not a good one. The Administration has a terrible advantage, with its officers in every town in the Union, and its money and patronage to disperse to the faithful. The Pennsylvanian State election is very close in its i•esults. In 400,000 votes which were cast, the Buchanan party have a majority of only 2,800. This may easily be overcome at the next election, if there are no further gains to the Buchanan side. The Democrats aro a unit, and are thoroughly organised, while the Opposition is disorganised and not united. If the campaign were to be con tinued for six months, Fremont would certainly win as is. - Thep e pap ‘ergharnsehoefwbilrlitg is played in all quarters by the members of the Democratic party, and. perhaps justly, and. it is more than likely that it will be attended with success.

Last evening, the royal mail steamer Persia, Captain Judkins, entered the Mersey from New York direct, whence she sailed on the 29th ultimo, at 710 p.m. She arrived in the river at the same hour in the evening, thus making the run in.nine days; seven hours, and forty minutes. During the passage home she never ran under 300 miles a day. Her greatest speed was 350 miles, and the smallest 303, in the twenty four hours. She experienced N.N.Westerly winds until within the last few days. The Persia's news is a week later than that contained in the Niagara's advices, but at the same time is devoid of any great importance, if we except the Presidential campaign; According to the tenor of the news in all the New York papers, a reaction ary movement in the affair had turned up. Colonel Fre mont's chances were gradually declining, and there was no doubt entertained about the return of Mr. Buchanan. The convention of three Southern Governors, at Raleigh, S C., who met to confer on the politioal prospects of the country, was the theme of general speculation. It was said that it was the purpose of these governors and their party, that, in the event of Fremont's election, they would precipitate the country into a kind of revolut;en, with the view of provok ing a dissolution between the North and the South. The New York Daily Times has a prominent leader, under the head of a new plot of the Pro Slavery Democracy, in which it contends that the great end and aim of the friends of Mr. Fillmore, is to dcf,at an election by the neeple, and gf t hit name into the House of Representatives. It seems, therefore, that the Fillmore party have been bargaining with the Buchanan men ; agreeing to aid him in States where they are weak, by running a Fillmore ticket, on condition that he shall aid them in States where they are strong. in immense republican meeting had been held in Boston, on the 25th ult. The Hon. A. Ifurlinghain spoke tor . two hours, advocating the claims r f the National Republicans to the united support •Of the friends of freedom, and con cluded by, stating that s he would reserve, for another occasion, aversopal statement regarding. himself. Regarding the Buchanan and Fillmore plots in Illinois we are informed that the scheme consists in persuading the Filimoreites, who are opposed to slavery extension, that it is all important for them, as straight out members of the Order, to adhere to their own ticket. This being accom plished, all the Pro-Slavery Know-Nothings will vote for Buchanan, Richardson, and other Nebraska candidates. In order to carry out this scheme, candidates are being atar'ed for various offices throughout the State, upon whom all the straight out Fillmore men are called upon to unite. In furtherance of this scheme, a few of the Pro-Slavery Know-Nothings in the district, led on by the notorious Danenhow , r, were to meet at Carlyle to bring out candidates for Congress in this district, the only poissible effect of which would be, if it had any effect at all, to elect Morrison and Smith. 1.1 all probability not one in ten 0' the Fillnioreites in the district approve or even know of this movement, and yet they are being sold out by their unscrupulous leaders, whose only object is to carry the State, Congressmen and all. for the Slavery candidates. The Boston Post favours a coalition between the National Whigs and Democrats of Massachusetts on members of Congress, and says : —We hope the Democrats will leave no proper means untried to defeat the re-election of the pre sent members of Congress, and to secure a majority of national men in our State Legislature. Let there be libe ral confidence among all Union men—a cordial concert of action, and the selection of the most popular men among them for candidates—whether they be National Democrats or National Whigs. With regard to the state of nff tin in Kansas, we learn that among tie despatches which had reached Washington from Governor Geary, was one in which he details the cir cumstances attending the arrest of an organised band, consisting of about two hundred arid forty persons, among whom were very few women and children. This party was regularly formed in military order, under command of Ge neral Pemroy, Colonels Eldridge and Perry, and,olhers. They had with them twenty waggons, in which were a supply of new arms, mostly muskets, with bayonetsand sabres, and a lot of saddles, &c., sufficient to equip a battalion, consisting of one-fourth of cavalry, and the remainder infantry. Besides these arms, which Governor Geary says were evidently intended for military purposes, and which were in the waggons—a search of which was objected to —the emigrants were provided with shot, guns, rifles, pistols, knives, &c. From the reports of the officers, it appears they had with them neither oxen, mechanics' tools, agricultural implements, nor any of the necessary appurtenances of peaceful settlers. They were permitted to pursue their journey under the escort of a squadron of dragoons, having been furnished with a day's rations; and subsequently Governor Geary, according to promise, met them near Topeka. They apologised for their evident and undeniable disregard of Governor Geary's procla• mation, which apology, though plausible, was far from being satisfactory. After welcoming them as peaceful emigrants, and assuring them he would positively enforce his proclamation, and suffer no party of men to enter or travel through the Territory with warlike or hostile ap pearances, to the terror of peaceful citizens, and the danger of renewing the disgraceful and alarming scenes through which the inhabitants had so recently passed, Gov. Geary insisted upon the immediate bisbandnaent of the combination, which was agreed to with alacrity. A majority of the men were evidently gratified to learn that they had been deceived in relation to Kansas affairs, and that peace and quiet, instead of strife and dissension, were reigning there. Gov. Geary's remarks were re ceived with frequent demonstrations of approbation, and at their close tho organisation was broken up, and its members dispersed in various directions. After they had been dismissed from custody, and the fact. announced by Major Sibley, their thankfulness for his kind treatment towards them during the time he held them under arrest, was expressed by giving him three hearty cheers. In conclusion, Governor Geary expressed his regret that societies exist in some states, whose object it is to fit out such parties as the one just described, and send them to Kansas to their own injury, and the destruction of the general welfare of the country. He says : " Very many persons have been induced to go out there under flattering promises, which are never fulfilled, and who, having neither money to purchase food and clothing, nor trade or occupation at which to earn an honest liveli hood, are driven to the necessity of becoming either paupers or thieves ; and these are the men who have aided materially in filling up the measure of the crimes that have seriously affected the prosperity of Kansas. It is high time that this fact should be clearly understood. This territory at the present season of the year, and especially under existing circumstances, offers no induce ment for the emigration of the poor tradesman or labourer. The country is overrun with hundreds who are unable to obtain employment, who live upon charity, and who are exposed to privations, destitution, and want." There had been a terrific gale on Lake Michigan, which had committed great damage on shipping and their cargoes, and that several lives had been lost. The reports in the New York papers of the battle in Nicaragua, do not add any thing to previous advises. We have later dates from Mexico and Cuba, but they are totally devoid of interest. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, OCT. 29. MONETARY MATTERS : There seems to be a kind of panic in the Money Market. Borrowers are numerous, but the rates of• interest are unaltered. The course of F'reign Exchange has been irregular. The business in exchange on London has been to a fair amount, and yesterday closed at last at 109! to 1091 for prime signa tures ; Paris, 5 dols 20c to 5 dols I lie. . . CorroN : The business.in this mark - et during the past week has been small, not exceeding 1,000 bales per day Prices have declined 1:. Middling Uplands being quoted 121,a 12gc.

The week's recci?ts at all ports, amount to 87,000 hales, against 09,000 last year, showing an increase of 18,030 bales.

We have the following by telegraph from the South : NEW ORLEANS, 27th October ; Receipts for the week, 52,000 bales, against 48,000 bales last year. Exports to Great Britain, 17,000 bales.

Middling cotton, 114 c, a decline of le during the week. Freight, 9-16 d. Sales for the week, 4,000 bales. Sterling exchange, 84 per cent. prem. RECEIPTS : The receipts continue to increase, and amount to 87,000 hales for the week, against 69,000 bales same week last year, showing an increase of 18,000 bales for the week, and making the total, by the above table, 357,000 bales. The receipts for the month of October last year were unusually heavy, amounting to 332,009 bales, yet they have been equalled by those of this month, which, so far, amount to 326,000 bales, notwithstanding the lateness of the crop which usually diminishes the early receipts. Should receipts in November continue on their present scale, we shall have an increase on last year in the total at Ist December, a circumstance little looked for by short crop men. _ _ CROP : We have nothing new on this subject The letters from the south read gloomily enough, and afford no promise of a largo yield. The intense desire, however, to get cotton to market, proved by the heavy receipts, leaves room to hope that things are not so bad as represented. Western brands. Wheat : The supplies have been large, and have been freely taken off for export at an advance of 2c to 3c per bushel since receipt on the 23rd of the advices, per City of Baltimore, to the Bth instant, from Liverpool.

The weekly musical re-unions at St. George's Hall every Saturday evening have become so well known, and universally appreciated, th.t it is hardly necessary for us to refer ' to the matter for the information of our general readers. Having, however, had the pleasure of glancing at the programme of to-night's performance, we deem it a duty to refer briefly thereto ; and first, as to the vocalists, we observe a fresh local "star," star," Madame Constantini, then Miss Lavine, Mr. Mirandi, Mr. Scarisbrick, and Mr. Vango. This latter gentleman is a celebrated comic and characteristic singer. All the names recited are splendid musical artistes, and when, among others, the following songs and duets are sung in first rate style, the audience must surely enjoy a musical treat not only rare, but at a price, every thing considered, far below those saloons where the unbred and uncivil congregate to hear the low and immoral productions of doggrel bards and mimic muscians rendered, not for intellectual gratification, but to elicit ill-judged applause, and puff up the singer, although their abilities and musical knowledge are of the meanest order. "The Death of Nelson," "The Singiag Gentleman," " Elfin's "I Dreamt I D welt in Marble Halls," " The German Pedlar," &c. Here is sentimental and comic ; nothing vulgar, but all productions which cannot but gratify the musical ear and tastes of the most fastidious. We hope to see a crowded house to-night, convinced that Mr. Reynolds merits every support which the Liverpool people can bestow. The slight-of-hand tricks of a❑ Anderson, or the oft-repeated songs of a Russell. are nothing when compared to Reynolds's Monstre Saturday Nights Concerts. COUNTY COURT BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK ESQ., JUDGE. RUSHTON v. BLUES.—In this case the plaintiff claimed £l5, as the value of a pianoforte lent by him to a person named Royle, a music teacher, who lodged with defen dant. The latter became indebtec to defendant in the amount. of £3 4s for rent, and left tbe. place. On the 25th of August, the defendant destrained the piano, had it taken to Hallam's salerooms, in Renshaw—street, where it was sold by auction a few days after, for £4 12s 6d, out of which the defendant received £2 10s after the costs had been paid. Mr. Worship appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Conway, instructed by Mr. Grimmer, for the defendant. Tile defence was, that Royle had represented the piano as his own, and obtained credit for the rent upon the faith of his being the owner of it, and that he had exhausted what money lie had in the purchase of it. His Honour said, as at present advisad, his opinion was, that the law was in defendant's favour, although he thought rather sharp practice had been pursued in respect to the piano. He would not, however, decide the point at once, but would defer his judgment for a fortnight. El Conde Do las Marcedes, of Venezuela, along with Sig Don Francis Tomas°, visited the concert at St. George's Hall on Wednesday, when the illuslrious stranger expressed much satisfaction. REMARKABLE QUICK PASSAGE.—The Conquest, Captain Brewer, from St. John, N.B , at this port, has accomplished the passage from port to port in the unprecedented short space of thirteen days, being the shortest passage on record. DESPERATE ATTACK ON A WIFE.—John Murray was brought up in custody of officer 499, on a charge with having stabbed his wife in the head, inflicting a wound three inches long, and also one on her arm, and for having bitten her in the breast and thumb, in a savage manner. The poor woman was not able to attend, and the prisoner was remanded. SERIOUS AFFAIR. Yesterday, a sailor, on board an American ship, just arrived' in the river from Boston, jumped overboard, as he stated, in order to get ashore from the horrible treatment he had received. He would have been drowned, but for the exertions of Mr. Pierce, the master of the Egremont boat Wallasey, whose conduct deserves praise. A gentleman, a passenger, pointed out the man in the water to Captain Pierce, and he immediately put the bat about, and made for the man, who, after great exertions, was got on board, and conveyed to the receiving house, as he was quite exhausted. We have the full particulars of this case, which, if as stated to one of our reporters, be correct, is one of the most awful cases of brutality we have ever heard. We forbear, as is our usual custom, to say more until an investigation takes place, which, we understand, will be the case, and then we shall give full details. LIST OF PASSENGERS rElt R.M.S.

PLYMOUTH, Friday Morning.--The African Mail Steam Navigation Company's mail packet Niger , Commander George Carbett, arrived at Plymouth this morning. Her homeward dates are ;—Cameroons, Sept. 26th ; Old Calabar, 28th; Fernando Po, Oct 2nd ; Lagos, 7th ; Accra, Bth ; Cape Coast, 11th ;Liberia, 14th ; Sierra Leone, 21st ; Bathurst, 24th; Goree, 25th; Teneriffe, 29th; Madeira, 31st. Her cargo consists of 2,000 ounces of gold dust, 400 casks of palm oil, 263 packages of beeswax, 38 pac k ag es of gum, 142 tu sks of ivo ry , 12 bales of co chineal, 120 boxes of f ruit, 33 cask s of wine , 3 paielages of monkey sk ins, and 22 packages of sundries. A serious collision occurred at Bonny on the 21st of September,' among the natives, many of whom on both sides were killed and wounded. The affray was terminated by the interposition of the traders. Since the removal of King Peppel the chiefs have had freq uent d is p ute s , which are likely to continue unless the Kin g is re s t ored , The traders fired on th e town of Ca rneroons on the 24th September, in order to fright en t h e natives, who refused to pay their debts. No da mare was done. The inhabitants of Lagos are fearful of an a t tac k from King Rosoko, who claims some slaves 'there. MAN DROWNED.—On Thursday afternoon a poor man, named Patrick Murphy, met with his death under the following circumstances :—The poor fellow obtained a living by vending braces and other trifling articles amongst the sailors in the docks. On the afternoon in question, he went on board a ship in the liuskisson dock, when, by some accident, he fell into the water and was drowned before any assistance could be tendered. An incluest will be held on the body this day (Saturday).
