At the Liverpool Corn Market to-day we had a good attendance of En g lish coun try millers, an d from Ireland. The demand, though somewhat improved, was by no means active ; an d only a moderate business was done in Wheat for the interior of this country, though several parcels were taken for Ireland: Choice qualities of red and white, to which the demand was chiefly directed, supported the currencies of this day week, but all common descriptions were rather pressed, and found very few buyers at a reduction of 2d to 3d per cental. Flour, with a slow in quiry, must be noted is per barrel cheaper, but sacks have not receded in the same proportion. Beans fully as dear. Oats and Oatmeal dull, the former at a decline of ld per bushel, the latter is per load. Indian Corn sold in retail at a small im provement,butthere was no general enquiry for this article.—T he markets of the United Kingdom, at the close, were even more depressed than in the ear lier part of the past week, and we may quote the decline upon new Wheat 2s, and upon old is per quarter. The country supplies are to a fair ex tent, though muck of them are of very unsuitable condition for grindings while the outports are furnished with arrivals from abroad of greater magnitude than needed for the present require ments of millers. Th e advance in the Bank rate of discount has also a t endenc y to check tr a d e , and would prevent many orders from being rected abroad, even were the relative p r i ces less unfavourable for operations in foreign mar kets. French and Spanish rates continue high, notwithstanding the activity and decline in Bri tish quotations ; and America, with an advance in freights to 16d per bushel, again shows a loss upon importations.

The London Discount Company passed a resolu tion to-day for winding-up voluntarily. The neat dividend of the Trust and Loan Com pany of Upper Canada will be 81 per cent. In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day the Funds were steady at yesterday's prices, with little business. The other markets were equally inactive, and rather flat. A slight reduction took place in the principal British Railway stocks, but the ruling feature was langour of business. Canadas were steady. The market closed at the following prices : THE FUNDS.

The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : There has again been an absence of gold withdrawals from the Bauk of England, and doubts are expressed if any further large amounts will be taken for Paris. Nothing of a positive character has transpired with regard to the measures intended to be pursued by the directors of the Bank of France, and the possibility has been suggested that they may endeavour to enter into direct negotiations with the Bank of England to obtain a specific loan for a certain period. The difficulty with regard to a rapid advance of their rate of discount con sists in the apprehension that it might cause a panic. Meanwhile, it does not appear that there tas been any material cessation of the drain on their resources, and it may therefore be assumed that the a triir will not be left to take its course. The English (nick have manifested increased firmness, and have now fully returned to the prices current previously to the recent movements in the money market. The applications at the Bank of England for discount, although not on an extensive scale, were sufficiently above the average to show that the advance in the rate last week to six per cent. was not made prematurely.—Time, City Article. More confidence was shown to-day in financial circles. A considerable rise on the Paris Bourse furnishes evi dence that the financial situation is regarded more favourably. It is confirmed that the amount of gold held by the Bank of France is only about four millions sterling, and it is considered certain that further large quantities will be required by them ; still for the mo ment there is an ininre;ii.m that the worat o f t he pressnre is past. despatched The t0322'0 O Paris O thisin go ld day. b The L 249,000 by theyN the Water ymph was Smtissoreex is pressing wants to reachtsofthe s tre pli ßn eci ak FLroenndcohn Btanktiwwrrir th;us the No o f bullion EnEngland a was o dfo t r h e e r z e p fo o r r e t a t t i a o k o e . a t T o - h day f from advanced A. per cent. The other departments of prices stock exchange were also strong, in many cases pr lo closed r a th er hi g h er t h an on S a t ur d a y. The discount market was quiet, and as the feeling of uneasiness subsists, holders of money evince more disposition to employ it in the advanced rates. In a few cases we hear of transactions a fraction below the Bank rate; there is also more willingness to discount long dated letters, with indisputable signatures, at 8i to 7 per cent.

The Teeth influence the form and expression of the countenance more than is generally imagined, and the finest face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when s p ea king or smiling, a fascination present which prevents further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the middle period of life who have lost their Teeth; for, how ever clear and perfect their utterance may have been before their less, it is impossible to regain it without sup plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.

NEWS OF THE DAY. Gaeta still holds out: and if we are to believe accounts which reach us from well-informed quarters, it is likely to do so for a considerable time longer unless the for tress is voluntarily surrendered. It is described by an eye-witness as being now stronger than ever. The front capable of being attacked on the land side does not extend beyond 700 yards ; and it is defended by works constructed or cut in the solid rock, armed with three tiers of covered batteries, the upper tier being mounted with rifled cannon. These batteries present a total of about 300 pieces, whose lines of fire converge on those points from whiCh alone the assailants must make their attack. Meanwhile, reactionary movements, as was to be expected, have broken out on a considerable scale in the Abruzzi, and, according to a statement in the Pays, no less than five Neapolitan provinces are in a state of siege, thereby furnishing additional difficulties and labour for M. Farint in the task of union and confloii_ dation which he has undertaken. A further invasion of Roman territories is stated to have taken place on thg part of the Piedmontese troops, arising, probably, out of the complications produced by the presence in those territories of the various Neapo litan corps who have taken refuge there. The circum stance has been followed by another protest from Car dinal Antonelli, who must by this time have become rather familiar with the composition of documents of that nature. " At the advanced age of 82," says the Paris corre spondent of the Globe, "in calm retirement at Malta, Ruggiero Settimo had received a call from Garibaldi to resume at Palermo the leadership he had held in 1848 : King Victor Emmanuel has again summoned the veteran patriot to the Viceroyalty of his native island." The Italian mail of Monday brought that venerable noble man's reply to the Sovereign of United Italy, declining, in dignified language, the honours intended for his declining years. This Sicilian statesman was Prime Minister so far back as 1812, under the constitutional government which Lord William Bentinck established in that island as the condition of British protection ; but he,. as well as the Palermo parliament of that day, were got rid of by the late King Ferdinand at the first opportunity. Ruggiero emerged • again into activity in 1820, and, co-operating with General Pepe on the main land, he once more raised the standard of freedom in Sicily, but again unsuccessfully. He remained prostrate until 1848, when a third time he became instrumental in his country's deliverance, preceding Garibaldi as Dictator in Palermo. Then came the bombardment of Messina, and the hordes of sanguinary Swiss let loose by King Bomba on the island, followed by ten years of tyranny and terrorism. For forty years, there fore, has the life of this one man been identified with the existence of the Sicilian people. He rejoices to have lived to witness the triumphant result of their struggles, and with that satisfaction he is content. King Victor has received and given suitable replies to several Sicilian deputations, informing them that he intends shortly to visit the island. It is understood that his Majesty will leave Naples for Palermo to-morrow. It is given out that Garibaldi, before he left the former city for Caprera, issued the following announcement : " The public is informed that I shall receive no letters at Caprera unless they are prepaid.—G. GARIBALDI." It is unpleasant to learn that our countrymen who compose the Garibaldi-British Legion are universally spoken of in terms the reverse of flattering, not in the Finch journals alone, but also in all the more respect able German papers, whose bias is likely to be in favour of, rather than against, the English. The Allgemeine Zeitung has letter frOns the Neapolitan frontier, which describes the British Legion as "execrable soldiers," and &ceiling only in the storming of poultry-yards and pig-stieS. " Their last expedi tion near Sant' Angelo (says the writer) Was highly successful. They came back with upwards of 400 prisoners-50 pigs, and 400 fowls, ducks, &c." The letter concludes with describing the terror of all near them except the enemy. This is obviously an . exaggerated picture, but the London papers of yesterday evening, print a copy of the letter sent to Colonel Peard by the officers of his regiment, in. which on the-ground, among others, that there "is not that implicit con fidence between the brigade and its head, without which no regiment of Englishmen can exist," they call upon that offiser to resign' his command. Colonel Peard had not complied with the reqUest at the date of the despatch containing the letter addreised to him by his officers, but theme was no doubt that he would be forced to do so. The Belgian .3fonitear says_:—" Several journals re cently affirmed that Prussia had abolished the formality of passports, and the necessary inference from this is that travellers have no need of any to go into that country. But that is an error, against which it is im portant to warn the public. The verification of pass ports has only been suppressed on the frontiers by the Prussian government, but the laws relative to such documents have in no respect, been set aside. Travellers must then be provided with passports en rtgle in order to travel in Prussia." The Austrian Government having made the fortresses composing the Quadrilateral as strong as possible, has sent the army into winter quarters. It is reported, however, that an Austrian corps of observation is to be sent into Transylvania. The further advices received regarding the wreck of the Donna Isabel, Brazilian war corvette, state that out of 27 officers on board, 23 were lost, and upwards of 100 seamen. Three lieutenants, six midshipmen, the purser, and 93 of the crew were saved. The vessel is reported to have gone to pieces. The Moors behaved well, and the survivors were carried by a British vessel of war to Tangiers, and there placed under the protection of Mr. Drummond Hay. The Minister here has ordered the Brazilian Vice-consul at Gibraltar to do everything in his power to succour the survivors; and with that view, and to examine into the causes of the calamity and recover the guns, Admiral Grenfell, the Brazilian Con sul-general, will, it is said, proceed at once to the spot. The disaster occurred about 8 o'clock p.m., on the 11th instant.. • _ Intelligence has been received at Lloyd's, from St. Petersburg, that the river is full of ice, and that com munication with Cronstadt is stopped. Reading has undergone a contest between a Radical and an independent Liberal, and the seat has been gained by Sergeant ' Pigott, whose bidding was the higher of the two. A vacancy for Ripon has been caused by the death of Mr. Warre. A fearful collision of two goods trains took place at Guide Bridge, near Ashton-under-Lyne, about half-past two o'clock on Sunday morning. It appears a goods train belonging to the London and North-Western Railway Company was shunting at the Guide Bridge Station, when a goods train belonging to• the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company came in collision with it, and the crash and destruction was most fearful. The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company's engine was, to a considerable depth, literally buried in the soil, whilst the damage to the North Western Company's engine was only slight,' but many waggons were smashed almost to atoms, and both lines were blocked up for a considerable time. One of the guards was happily only injured in a slight degree, the firemen being both saved by jumping from their engines. The collision took place in consequence of one of the distant signals not being shown, but whe ther from negligence, or being fast with the frost, is not at present known. The cause of this collision will be the subject of strict inquiry. Avery extensive counterfeiting operation has been brought to light at Lebanon, Indiana, in which the cashier and several others connected with the Boone County Bank, in that place, are concerned. It is sup posed that they have circulated from $300,000 to $500;000 in counterfeit bills on that institution. The spurious and the genuine notes are from the same plate, with the names of the auditor and registrar forged on the former. The presidenta the bank had fled, from which circumstance it is inferred that he is deeply implicated in the transactions. The restoration of the fine old cathedral at Llandaff is rapidly approaching completion, and is being carried out in the most perfect manner. In order to secure efficiency, the Dean and Chapter have resolved to pur chase a powerful organ, at a cost of nearly £l,OOO, in the construction of which Sir Frederic Gore Ousley, Regius Professor of Music at Oxford, has been consulted. This venerable edifice is nearly restored after many years of labour, and at a cost of many thousands of pounds. We have to record the death of Sir David Maxwell, Bart., of Camesmore, Kirkcudbrightshire, at the ad vanced age of 87 years. He is succeeded in the baron etcy by his son William, who was born in 1809, and who is a deputy-lieutenant of Kirkcudbright. The decease of Lady Goldsmid, widow of Sir Isaac Lionel Goldsmid, Bart., is announced. Her ladyship has been in declining health for some time past, and especially since the decease of her husband last year. She was the daughter of Mr. Abraham Goldsmid, of Morden, in Surrey, and married Sir Isaac in the year 1801. The question raised some time back as to the respon sibity of bankers in paying cheques drawn to order on the signature of a person pretending to hold a procura tion, is likely to remain without a definitive settlement. The facts which induced public attention to the matter were as follows :—An action was brought against the Bank of England to recover the amount of a cheque drawn payable to order, and endorsed by a person Purporting to sign by promotion from the payee, but which procuration was denied. The claim was based upon the view that the 19th section of the Act 16th and 17th Victoria, chap. 59, which protects bankers from responsibility in paying cheques , purporting to be endorsed by the payee, did not extend to cheques pur porting to be endorsed by another person by pro curation. This action came on for trial at the London sittings in July last, when Mr. Baron Martin held, without argument, that the enactment referred to extended as well to cases of endorsement by procuration as to those purporting to be by the payee in person, the object of this proceeding being to obtain a decision of the full Court upon the question of law in the current term. It appears, how ever, that the plaintiff has decided not to carry the case further, and that the law must, therefore, remain in its present unsatisfactory state. At the same time it might be remarked, that few persons can doubt that the immu nity to the bankers conferred by the Act was intended to be complete. The clause which, in contradiction to the entire spirit of the statute law of the kingdom, exempts bankers from a liability to which all the rest of the community are bound to conform, furnishes the worst example of petty class legislation witnessed in recent times ; but so long as it is permitted to remain, it will be advisable for the public to regard it in all its stringency.

H E RETURN OF THE P RINCE OF WALES. " Altogether, what with wind, hail, and rain, it was not an encouraging cruise, especially as fresh provisions were out, even to the vegetables, and there was nothing to eat but the saltest of salt ship's stores."— Tide Times, Nov. 16. Our fears are at an end, the Prince of Wales Is safely landed on his native shore ; Though hail and rain and constant eastern gales Have rendered tedious his passage o'er. Most travellers by sea confess that though When starting on their voyage all are gay, But very soon they find things somewhat slow, And strive in vain to kill each dreary day. 'Tis a hard task when in a swift "Cunarder , " But in a line-of-battle ship still harder. The mighty vessel pitches, jumps, and rolls, Day after day, and chiefly under sail ; For such ship carries but small stock of coals, And so her screw is not of much avail. The only happy time in such a case Is when each weary passenger within her Around the cabin table takes his place. And soothes his spirits with a first-rate dinner. Those in the "Hero" foand but small relief In dinners off sea biscuit and salt beef. The Prince bore his privations like a man, And never once was heard to find a fault ; Though, as the Times' long description ran, The food was all " the saltest of the salt." Yet mill, we are informed, on one occasion, When all at breakfast time assembled were, His Royal Highness made an observation Which raised a sigh from every bosom there; " On this dry biscuit," he was heard to mutter, "Oh, that we had a slice of 'KELLY'S BUTTER."

THE POLICE. THE stute of crime in this borough has, accord ing to annual custom, been set forth in the shape of u report by Major GREIG, the Head Constable, which was presented to the Town Council fat its last meeting, and published yesterday, for the use of all concerned. The report is accompanied by copio us C r iminal and Police Statistics for the year e n d e d 29th September, 1860 . Generally speakin g th e p r esent returns exhibit very little variety of results as compared with those of former years, unless we note that serious offences against the person such as stabbing, wounding, & c ., —that class of crimes which are, for the most part, committed in moments of passion —have very much increased. On the other hand, the appreh en _ sions are, upon the whole, fewer than last year; and in the various classes of larcenies—especially those committed by juvenile offenders - -there h as b een a marked decrease. T he nu mber of pe rsons apprehended under sixteen years of age i n 1859 was 927 ; in 1860, 768 ; decrease 159, or 17.152 per cent.,—a fact which, as Major GREIG well observes, " must be satisfactory to those interested in Ragged Schools and Reformatory Institutions." There has been an apparent decrease in the number of prostitut es and. brothels, b ut i t would seem that this is scarcely to be re li e d upon as actuallythef a ct , the H ea d C onsta bl e for states thatinconsequence of the stringent measures taken against those unfort una t es an d their keepers as a class, they h ave recently been conceal thei r w h erea b outs from T to his is a most l amenta b le state of t m h o e r more careful olice. matters, sineo it implies that the pollution, • instead of having been abated, has been merely disguised ; and in place of being confined to a few well-known localities which the respectable and well-meaning_ members of the community may at all times avoid, the nuisance has been secretly spread over all parts of the town, so as to endanger the peace and safety of districts where the taint was formerly unknown. We cannot but look upon this as an aggravation of the " social evil," and if such is the only result to be obtained by the use of repressive measures, the sooner they are abandoned the better. Turning to the table of educational statistics, we find the same stereotyped result. Out of 21,j37 apprehensions, not one is said to have had a superior education ) only 3.7 per Cent. could read and write well, the remaining 96.3 per cent. could do neither perfect Ty. In other words, only 794 professed to read and write 'well, while 10,158 could do so very imperfectly, 1,872 could only read a little, and 8,313 could neither read nor write at all. It puzzles us to explain how any reasonable mind can contemplate these figures without being convinced that there exists a positive relation between ignorance and crime. It may be that education and the progressive diffusion of knowledge can never extinguish crime; but if it be admitted that at least the methods of crime might thereby be altered, and the motives to the higher crimes be weakened, we hold such an admission to be of itself enough to call for the most strenuous efforts of the educationists. For, if it be granted that the spread of education would have the effect of reducing that class of crimes which, in point of fact, are the most numerous in the calendar, are we warranted in posi-. Lively concluding that their places would be supplied by cringes of a different hue ? Or, even supposing that it probably might be so, are we to leave any means unemployed for the prevention of prevailing crimes, merely because we fear that success might be, to some extent, counteracted by the manifes tation of human weakness in some other shape ? Nearly one-half, or 49.8 per cent. of those apprehended by the police last year were at once discharged on being brought before a magistrate. With the exception of two years, this is the largest proportion of discharges as compared with the apprehensions for any one year during the last ten. Of the remaining half (not so discharged) the vast proportion —or 45.7 per cent. of the apprehen sions—were summarily convicted, and only 4.3 per cent. were sent for trial. The number tried, convicted, and sentenced was 3.1 per cent of the apprehensions—being the lowest proportion for any of the last ten years with three exceptions. The following are some of the other more remarkable facts" brought out in the report. The police have their eye upon 2,715 suspected per sons. They possess some knowledge of 1,509 houses of bad character, and of 2,256 prostitutes. The number of fires this year has been 241, having greatly exceeded the number for any year since 1850. The police found 1,651 doors, &c., open, when they ought to have been shut, and in each case sent information to the owner or occupier. The number of public, beer, and coffee houses within the borough is 2,837. 1,277 accidents have been reported to the police, 89 of which proved fatal. During the year 861 children were found wandering the streets, of whom 805 were restored to their parents and 56 Were sent to the Workhouse. 700 inquests have been held by the Borough Cdroner—only 41 of which cases were found to have arisen from natural causes—unless, indeed, we adopt the classification of the report, which includes " excessive drinking" under the head of "natural death." The good conduct., appearance, and discipline of the force, under Major GREIG, seem to be as nearly as possible all that they ought to be. The force now numbers 1,002 of all ranks. The Superannuation Fund Act promises to operate most beneficially. There have been twelve deaths in the force during the year, including Mr. CLoUGR, head of the detective department, an old and valuable servant of the public. The average length of service stands high, being six years and twenty-one weeks. The new offices in Dale-street are pronounced suitable in every respect. The force was inspected as usual, by Colonel WTOODFORD, the Government Inspector of Constabulary, and highly commended. The report is a most elaborate and carefully prepared document, embracing twenty-four tables of statistics, arranged with admirable distinct ness—each of which might form , an interesting subject of separate discussion. Even a cursory glance at these returns will satisfy any one of the manifold forms in which the services of this valuable force are daily made available to the public, as well as of the multifarious duties im posed upon the Head Constable, whose zeal and ability are of themselves at once a guarantee for the efficiency of the body, and a source of proud gratification to the Borough. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday, Nov. 20. All the news from Austria quite confirms the embarrassment of the Government, and abun dantly attest the impossibility of the Emperor Francis Joseph, however much he may be dis posed for war, taking the initiative in th© struggle. Another project is now attributed to Garibaldi—viz., of organising a landing at Cattaro, and revolutionising Montenegro and the whole Dalmatian coast. Should this movement be sympathised with on a large scale, and ener getically followed up, and if Hungary should at the same time break out into insurrection, the fate of the Austrian Empire would, failing a second intervention of Russia, be very seriously compromised. Compelled by a diversion in these quarters to diminish her forces in Venetia, Austria, would almost inevitably see this province slip out of her grasp. It need not, therefore, in such circumstances, be a matter of surprise to find that the Government of the Emperor Joseph should have found itself forced of late to entertain the question of ceding Venice, and that this idea should be very generally seconded by public opinion. It appears also that the state of affairs in Bohemia has become rather uneasy. The dissatisfaction among the Bohemians with the new statutes proposed for their government, is stated to be almost as great as that which prevails in Hungary. The recent intelligence from Constantinople represents the antagonism between Sir L. B ulwer and M. Lavalette as more decided than ever. It has even gone so far, it is said, that the former is doing all he can to endeavour to persuade the Porte to withhold his sanction to a loan which M. Mires is endeavouring to effect in Paris. This question of the East never seems to cease increas ing in its proportions, while the variety of phases which it developer is almost infinite. A general "break-up" of the Turkish Power cannot be long delayed; and the deluge that will follow is pro bably already gauged, and anticipated with no small degree of accuracy. Count de Persigny was expected to arrive in Paris last night. A great many people seem to think that this astute and agreeable diplomatist is not likely to return to London, in consequence of the climate not agreeing with the health of the Countess. It is said that the Count, in the event of his being thus forced to retire from his post, will be inducted into the place of Count de Walewski, who at present draws his £4,000 per annum as a member of the Privy Council of the Empire, without filling any public office ; and that M. Walewski will be sent to St. James's, in his mom. Another arrival here, and one of far greater importance, is announced in some quarters, being no less than that of Garibaldi himself. It is said that the ex-Dictator of the Two Sicilies will be in Paris in the course of a fortnight, and that apartments have been taken for him at the Hotel Meurice. I need hardly say, however, that I don't believe this report. In fact, a letter from Turin, dated the 10th, mentions that Colonel Deideri, Captain Marzuccihi, and Bertani, have gone to visit the illustrious voluntary exile, who is far from being at his ease. General Turr and a party of Hungarians also purpose to spend a few days in Caprera with the man upon whose aid they chiefly reckon for the regeneration of Hun gary. With such an entourage around him, it is not likely that he will falter in his purpose of opening another campaign in the spring. An officer on the staff of Sir Hope Grant, on his way to England from China with despatches, has had a private audience with the Emperor and the Minister of War ; but no one seems to know what was the result or the precise nature of the intelli gence of which he was the bearer. There is a sort of impression, nevertheless, that a treaty of peace has actually been signed, two " illUstrious Princes" connected With the Chinese Emperor having arriv ed in the allied oanip On .the 30th, armed with full powers to that effect. The 31oniteter de l'Armee contains some interesting and curious details respecting road making at Ticn-tsin. It says, among other things, that that city is connected with Pekin by a magnificent macadamised road, with similar appliances with those in Europe, for permitting the surface water to run off in a few minutes, and of thus enabling •the road to become dry almost as soon as the rain ceases. The inhabitants declare that that all the principal roads in China are constructed in the same style, and that the method has been in use for several ages. " Bearing in mind these facts," adds this Journal, "it is easy to demon strate that the macadamising process must ha've been imported direct front China to England (perhaps in tt tea chest!) "It is, known," it continues, " that the celebrated ambassador, Lord Macartney, in 1792, succeeded in reach ing Pekin. His lordship had for the secretary of his mission Sir George Staunton, whose father, a rich proprietor in Bristol, was in the habit of employing the celebrated Mac adam as his architect and engineer. Sir George, after having remained several years in Asia; rethrtied to England at the end of the year 1790, and read several communications to the Royal Society Of London. After this; Mac adam executed at Bristol; in the year iSOI, and upon the hints which he got from his employer, a road empierre, and thus gave his name to the system, the Chinese origin of which appears to us to be indisputable. It is well known that this system is at present in vogue in every part of the world." It is extraordinary what solici tude appears to be manifested by the French people to deprive the English of their claims as discoverers and inventors. The following explanation is offered by some of the French papers of the cause of the present scarcity of silver in France. In 1849 there were coined at the Paris Mint 91,397,849 fr. in gold, and 80,643,108 fr. in silver. In 1859, 52,225,846 fr. gold, and 5,375,341 in silver, were all that was manufactured. Hence the inundation of gold pieces and the scarcity of silver money is fully explained. It is believed here that the Bank of England will announce a reduction in its rate of discount next Thursday. The Bank of France refuses to follow further in the footsteps, in an upward direction, of the directors of the Bank of England, and this has given rise to the belief that the tightness is not seiious, or of a permanent nature. As a consequence, the Rente has again touched 70fr., and the market has a firm appearance. THE NEAPOLITAN TROOPS IN THE ROMAN TERRITORY. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) ROME, Nov. 13. * Some of the Neapolitan regiments which entered the Roman States are in a most deplorable condition—a great many of the soldiers are in want of everything; they have neith e r shoes nor uniform. The 11th Regiment, which went to Gaeta from Messina, is composed for the most part of individuals who still wear their peasant dress, and they are either old men, or boys of 16 or 17. The unfortunate wretches have been received by the French soldiers as brethren, and it was an interesting sight to see at Velletri, at Albano, at Frascati, and at Genazo, the French officers go before the Neapolitan officers, and take them into the restaurants and the cafés ; the common soldiers carrying off their fellows in the Neapolitan ranks, and giving them as much bread and wine as they could eat. Report speaks highly of the kindness and generosity of the French army on this occasion. An order of the day has been published, which prohibits the purchase . from the Neapolitans of arms, horses, or any article • whatever. About 4,000 of them have run off and returned to their homes. One of their generals arrived from Gaeta last Sunday, in order to make arrangements for the disposal of the soldiers who have taken refuge in this neighbourhood. At Albano and Genazo, the cartouche boxes of the Neapolitan soldiers were inspected, and it was ascertained that the powder of the cartridges was of very bad quality. You are no doubt aware that in the course of last spring Francis 11. lent the Pope a million of scudari. This sum was required by His Holiness for the supply of his immediate wants, and no interest was charged on the loan. I have very little doubt that this transaction suggested to the young monarch the idea of sending such of his troops as were not needed for the defence of Gaeta into the Papal dominions. But as the expense of feeding so many mouths was a burden which the govern ment of Pius IX. could by no means afford, it was considered prudent to pay off the loan at once ; and this was accordingly done to-day, Francis 11. accepting stock in the Roman Funds in payment. Notwithstanding the withdrawal of all the military from the Marches and the Umbria, the most perfect tranquility prevails in those provinces. The Cardinal Archbishop, who was expelled from Naples by Garibaldi, is, I hear, thinking of returning, now that the government of the Dictator has been replaced by that of Victor Emmanuel. THE FATAL ACCIDENT IN OLDHALL STREET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sin, —It would render a service to the public if the Coroner would pat the followin questions to some witness :—" Was t h e driver seated' at the back of the cart so low that he could not have a proper view before him ?" " Was the bit in the horse's mouth, o r hanging loose?" "Were the reins of leather, or only weak ropes patched or knotted together ?" These are daily and hourly infringements against the bye-laws, and yet no notice is taken of them by the police. From one who, though not greatly injured, has been KNOCKED DowN. MR. AND MRS. -WALTON'S BENEFIT AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. Mr. and Mrs. "Walton, veterans in Mr. Copeland's company, took their benefit last night. The first piece was the somewhat repulsive dramatised version of Chas. Dickens' " Oliver Twist," in which Mrs. Walton played Haney to Mr. J. C. Cowper's Bill Sykes. Mr. F. Sey mour—a new aspirant for Thespian honours—played The Artful Dodger. After this, "The Illustrious Stranger" afforded Mr. Walton an opportunity of enacting a drunken scene with so much character, that we heard various doubts expressed around us as to whether the intoxication were not real. Miss M‘Ginty and Miss Bramah then danced a pas de deux, which was encored. " Guy Mannering" followed, Mrs. Walton playing Hey Herrilies exceedingly well ; Mr. Walton, the farmer Dandle Dinmont ; Miss Laura Gray Julia Mannerly, Miss Goodall Lucy Bertram, and Mr. W. Cooper Dominic Sampson. " This evening Mr. Blakely takes a benefit, when "M one y" will be the principal play, in which he will act the part of Graves. He will be assisted by Miss Laura Gray in the part of Clara, and Mr. J. C. Cowper in that of Evelyn. After which "The Cricket on the Hearth." FIRES LAST NIGHT. FIRE IN BERRY-STREET. - - Last night, shortly before eleven o'clock, as Mrs. Jackson, confectioner, was about to retire to rest, she discovered that a fire had broken out in some part of her premises, but from the density of the smoke it was for some time impossible to discover where it was situated. The assistant at once gave the alarm, and Inspectors Southwell and Parkins, with a number of police constables, were speedily on the spot, and after considerable exertions succeeded in extinguishing the flames, before they had gained much ground. The fire broke out in a bakery in the cellar, in consequence of some conbustible materials having been left near the oven door. However, the fire was confined to the cellar, and the damage done was very immaterial. FIRE IN GREENLAND-STREET. About half-past eleven o'clock another fire b ro k e ou t in the extensive rosin works occupied by Mr. Casson, and threatened to be one of great magnitude ; but by the exertions of the fire brigade and the p o li ce thi s was also speedily extinguished. These premi ses ex t en d from Greeland-street t o Parl iament-street, and cover a large space of ground, the whole of w hi c h i s covere d with rosin and other combustible material s . F or somo time it blazed with great fury, and illuminated the atmosphere for a great distance. The fire brigade from . under the com man d o f Mr. Super- Hatton-garden, i n tendent Hewitt, and the "West of England fire Brigade and Mr. Barret t were in attendance, as were also the several reels from the fire stations. Superin tendent Sybell, Inspectors South we ll, N at t er, S m i t h, and Ilaggarty we re likewise present, w ith a l arge num ber of the tire brigade and p o li ce constables ; and b y their exertions, combined with a plentiful supply of water from the branches, the fire was confined to the rosin pans, where it first originated, and fortunately the damage done was comparatively trifling. A few years since a fire occurred upon the same premises, when the whole of the property was destroyed, and much damage was done to the premises, L4TEST NEWS.

DREADFUL FIRE ANI) Loss OF LIFE.—On Monday , at an early hour, there was a fire in the neighbourhood of Penny-fields, Poplar, which was attended with the loss of one life and serious, if not fatal consequences, to two other persons—one a man between 60 and 70 y e ars of age, the other a girl about six or seven years o ld. The premises in which the disaster originated were situate at 41, in the before-named fields, the lower part of the building being in the occupation of a boot and shoemaker, named D. J. Donovan, whose family con sisted of four or five persons; and the upper floor was in the occupation of another family named Donovan, but not related to the other. Fortunately, the proprietor of the shoe shop and his family were not at home when the fire commenced. The premises of Mr. Donovan were next door to the property of Mr. Quin, pro prietor of the Silver Lion Tavern, and it was owing to a little girl who was in this house that the fire was first discovered. She, it appeared, while proceeding to her bedroom, had her attention directed t o a loud crackling noise in the next house. This being accom panied with dense volumes of smoke, at once convinced her that the place was on fire, and, without a moment's delay, she called to Mr. Quin, who raised a general alarm, and who succeeded in making the inmates, wh° were in their beds asleep, sensible of their danger' There had been sleeping in the same room three chil dren, their father and mother, and the servant girl, aged 13 years, named E s th er D onovan . Th e three dill' dren and the father and mother were got out of the blazing building, but how is not precisely known, only that the father seized hold of two of his children, whom he car riied. under his arms through the flames, but in so doing the. unfortunate man and his daughter Mary were both seriously burnt, and were removed to the hospital , where they remain in a very precarious state. The last persons Jvho left, it is believed, were the mother and one of her children. It was at first expected that the servant girl had also been rescued and had taken shelter in the house of a ne ighbour, as she could not be heard of during the fire. Unfortunately, the poor creature was burnt to, death in thelh.mes. The firemen, under the directions 01 Mr. Bridges, the chief officer of the A district, and enginee r Whithers, backcd by the parish engine-keepers, were enabled to get the flames at length extinguished, but not until the premises were totally destroyed. Further in quiries having beet' made for the girl, who was gal missing, Mr. Bridges gave instructions to the firemen to search the ruins, and, after the lapse of a few minutes+ toe foot. found her burnt in a frightful manner from head oe foot. Life was quite exti,nct. The mangled remains were removed to await the coro.ner's inquest. As to the ori g . of the fire, not the least t eliable information could be obtained beyond the fact that it must have com menced nienced in the front shop, ,and have extended Bps 11 staircase to the top of the . building. Mr. Bra i d wood, in his official report, chiscribes the damage .6 as follows :—"No. 41, Penny-fields. the house and con- J. Donovan, boot and shoe maker ; Poplar, Mr. Denni tents all but destroyed.
