A New and Curious Invention con nected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. How ard ; it is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW DE SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEE T H; fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They- so perfectly resemble natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and pre . serve the teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of this New discovery. MR.

Those interested in the subject will find this statement of the superiority of these teeth over all others to be entirely and scrupulously correct. NEVER -FAILING REMEDY! HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT! A CRIPPLESKT ASIDE His CRUTCHES AFTER TEN YEARS' SUFFERING.—Copy of a Letterfrom Mr. Thompson, Chemist, Liverpool, dated Aug. 20, 1852.—T0 Professor HOLLOWAY, — Dear Sir,—l am enabled to furnish you with a most extraor dinary cure effected by your invaluable Ointment and Pills, which has astonished every person acquainted with the suf ferer. About ten years ago, Mr. W. Cummins, of Saltney street, in this town, was thrown from his horse, whereby he received very serious injuries; be had the best medical ad vice at the time, and was afterwards an inmate of different infirmaries, yet he grew worse, and at length a malignant running ulcer settled in his hip, which so completely crip pled him, that he could not move without crutches for nearly ten years; recently he began to use your Ointment and Pills, which have now healed the wound, strengthened his limb, and , enabled him to dispense w ith his crutche s , so th a t b e can ' walk with the greatest ease, and with renewed health and vigour. —J. THOM ' , sox. A MOST EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF A DREADFUL SKIN DISEASE WHEN ALL MEDICAL AID HAD FA IL ED.—COpy of a Letter from Mr. Bird, Draper, of Keardg, near Gainabro', dated March 1, 1852.—T0 Professor HoLLOWA v . , —Sir,—Some time since, one of my children was afflicted with dreadful erup tions over the body and limbs. I obtained the advice of several eminent surgeons and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hopeless. At length I tried your Oint ment and Pills, and without exaggeration, the effect was mi raculous, for by persevering in their use, all the eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child was restored to perfect health. I previously lost a child from a similar complaint, and I believe, had t in her case adopted your medicines, she would have been saved also. I shall be happy to testify the truth of this to any inquirer. —J. H I RD. CERTAIN REMEDY FOR SCORBUTIC HUMOURS—AND AN ASTONISHING CURE OF AN OLD LADY, SEVENTY YEARS OF AGE, OF A BAD LEG.—Copy of a Letter from Messrs. Walker and Co., Chemists, Bath.—Tn Professor HOLLOWAY,—Dear Sir,—Among the numerous cures effected by the use of your valuable medicines in this neighbourhood, we may mention that of an old lady living in the village of Preston, about live miles from this city. She had ulcerated wounds in her leg for many years, and latterly they increased to such an alarming extent as to defy all the usual remedies; her health rapidly giving way under the suffering she endured. In this dis tressing condition she had recourse to your Ointment and Pills, and by the assistance of her friends, was enabled to persevere in their use, until she received a perfect cure. We have ourselves been greatly astonished at the effect upon so old a person, she being above 70 years of age. We shall be happy to satisfy any inquries as to tits authenticity of this really wonderful case, either personally or by letter.—A pri vate in the Bath Police Force, also, has been perfectly cured of an old scorbutic affection in the face, after all other means had failed. He states that it is entirely by the use of your Ointment, and speaks loudly in its praise. —We remain, dear air, yours faithfully, (Signed) WALKER and Co. The Pills should be used conjointly with the Ointment, in most of the following cases : Corns (Soft) Bad Legs Scalds Bad Br easts ..._,.......- Cancer's .

THE GREAT PURIFYING AND STRENGTH- ENING MEDICINE. What though the sun in beauty shine, And you have countless hoards of weaith ; What though the world—all, all was thine, If you but want the blessing, Health. Dr. DE ROOS' PILULJE VITA, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indi gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance ; and while they act 'thus salutarily ? they must of necessity increase the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa tions,—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,— as Ap op l exy, Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a' few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh ing. Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine ; in few instances, where occasionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance be needed. For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken. Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not once required the services of a medical man,-and feel satisfied this would be the case g enerally, if people were not so m uc h governed by prejudice. "—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray : " Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax : " I find your Pilulte Vitae a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent wror - y-P to North Wp t^- " Mr. Warner's cn— .1 an- iswich, .dies: ments to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so much good as his Pilulte Vita." PersOns going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bo w el s , an d tranquillizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad ; as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing restorative. IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Pur chaser other Medicines, or trash of their own compounding, from which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the words " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white let ters on the red ground printed in the stamp, affixed to each Box, by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Com missioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is Felony. Mac be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., II s., and 335. per Box, with Directions for Use, &c., or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr. DE ROOS, 35, Ely-place, Holborn-hill, London, they will be sent per return.

N.B.—Respectable persons in country places, who will be allowed a liberal commission, may make a handsome addi tion to their income, by selling these Pills, which are very justly becoming a favourite Medicine with the Public, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. ROREIG N INTELLIGENCE ♦ 1 BELGRADE, OCT. 24.—Detachments of Austrian troops keep a close watch on the Ser v i an f ron ti er.

SPAIN.—M. Mendizabel, who held a prominent position in the Spanish government during the regency of Espar tero, died at his residence in Madrid, on the morning of the 3rd instant, of pulmonary catarrh. DENMARK.—The new constitution proposed by the Danish government will give Holstein, like Schleswig, her special administration and legislature. In matters of state it will, however, be placed equally with Schleswig under the regime of a legislation common to all parts of the mo narchy, that is to say, on all questions affecting the crown, the general finances, the army, and the navy. •••• On the Asiatic borders the Turks are stated to have obtained several decided advantages over the Russian army. On the 2nd instant the English and French fleets, under the command of Admirals Dundas and Hamelin, anchored in the Bosphorus, and the commanders proceeded to Constantinople. __ Five Russian officers, prisoners of war, arrived at Con stantinople on the 4th. A telegraphic despatch states that Cherkedy, a town in Asia .e Turks have taken 25,000 Turks have crossed the Danube, at Widdin, into Wallachia. Fresh military levies are being raised in Egypt. The son of Abbas Pacha has been named minister of war. BERLIN, SUNDAY.—The Journal de Petersburg contains an announcement from the minister of finance, from which it appears that an embargo will be laid on Turkish vessels in Russian harbours on November 22nd. After that date Turkish merchant vessels will be declared lawful prizes, even though they may have other than Turkish.property on board. Neutrals will enjoy complete freedom even after the commencement of hostilities. The Paris journal Patrie has a Constantinople letter of 29th, stating that the Turkish fleet had chased some Rus sian vessels and driven them into Sebastopol. They were a flotilla of gun-boats. It is stated that in the Caucasus the Russians were iven three leagues from their position, and the Turks now occupy the Russian frontier The Tiiraes' Paris correspondent writes, on Saturday. that a report was current in political circles that the Turks had been compelled to recross the Danube, with immense loss, having been defeated under the walls of Bucharest, by Gortschakoff, with whom Dannenberg had formed a junction. On inquiring in a quarter generally well-informed, the writer was told that a private telegraphic despatch was said to have been received, and that no such news had been received in official quarters. The report had obtained a certain degree of credit. The Paris correspondent of the Chronicle states that the French Government received on Friday night a tele graphic despatch from its Consul at Bucharest, announcing a serious engageraent in the neighbourhood of that place, in which, says the despatch, " the Russians attribute to themselves the victory." TURKEY AND RUSSIA, THE truth respecting hostilities is very hard to be got at. The reports received from the banks of the Danube concur in indicating an active prosecution of hostilities. That the Turks crossed the river in some force at Widdin, and established themselves at Kalafat on the opposite bank, is beyond question ; and it is also stated that 2.000 Ottoman troops have appeared at Giurgevo, and made an attack upon that town. The situation of Giurgevo is about midway between Widdin, where the Turks first crossed, and Brailow, where they were making prepara tions to cross. As for further reports, we give those be low, as they have reached London, by electric telegraph, daily. The following is the proclamation which has been addressed to his army, by Omar Pasha, previous to cross ing the Danube : zc Imperial Soldiers—When, firm and courageous, we shall engage the enemy we will not fly, but sacrifice body and soul to be avenged. Look to the Koran—on the Koran we have sworn. You are Mussulmans, and I doubt not you are ready to sacrifice body and soul for your Religion and your Government. But, if there be among you a single man afraid of war, let him say so, for it is dangerous to face the enemy with such men. He who is under the feeling of fear should be employed in the hospitals or other occupations ; but he who remains with us and turns his back on the enemy shall be shot ! Let the courageous men, who long to manifest their devoted ness to their religion and the throne, remain. Their hearts are united with God; and, if faithful to religion, they prove themselves brave, God will assuredly give them the victory. Soldiers, let us purify our hearts, and then put confidence in the aid of God. Let us do battle, and sacrifice ourselves like our ancestors ; and, as they bequeathed our country and our religion to us, we ought to bequeath them to our children. You are all aware that the great object of this life is to serve God and the Sultan worthily, and thus win heaven. Soldiers ! may God pro tect all who have honour to believe and to serve in these principles." __ Nov. 4.—The Vienna Presse confirms the intelligence of the arrival of 7,000 Turks at Kalafat, and of the advances of the left wing of the Turkish army, besides 8,000 of the Turkish reserves from Sophia. The vanguard, under Namik Pacha and General Prim, had a serious conflict with 2,500 Russian cavalry, between Kalafat and Karajowa. The affair lasted two hours, when the Russians retreated towards Slatina. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 25.—0 n the 19th of October Omer Pasha was at Rehubar, where he had concentrated 200 gunboats, each carrying a piece of heavy ordnance, and fit for the transport of troops. The Pasha was pre paring to cross the Danube at this point, where he had the centre of the Russian army before him. Prince Gortscha koff's head-quarters had been removed to Slatina, whence the Russian commander-in-chief watched the movements of Omer Pasha's corps. Hostilities have commenced in Asia. A special steamer, with despatches from Selim Pasha for the Seraskier, arrived on the evening of the 22rd from Batoum. The contents of these despatches are known by vague rumours only. It is said that on the 29th of October Massa Bey sent a reconnoitring party in the direction of Cirock-dere. The Russians surprised and attacked this detachment on its march. Selim Pasha, attracted by the noise of the skirmish, advanced with re inforcements, and encountered a corps of 15,000 Russians from Redout Kale and other points. An engagement took place ; the Russian forces were routed, and Selim Pasha established his head-quarters at Orelly, at the distance of six leagues from Cirock-dere. Despatches from St. Petersburgh announce that the Czar refuses to admit the last proposition of the powers concerning the Eastern question. He again insists on the Vienna note. Letters from Bucharest, of the 25th Oct., state that Prince Gortschakoff has but from 70,000 to 80,000 men in the principalities. He has sent to General Osten Sacken, commander of the third army corps, to join him with his forces in all haste. General Luders, with the fifth army corps, is ordered to move into Moldavia. General Dannenberg commands the Russians at Krajowa, and Semi Pasha the Turks at Kalafat. BERLIN, Nov. s.—The note which, according to the last concerted act of the Four Powers, has been sent to Con stantinople and recommended to the Sultan's acceptance, was not previously submitted to the Czar, nor sent with his sanction. No doubt is felt that the Sultan will con sent to sign it, but strong apprehensions are expressed that it will not be acceptable to the Czar. VIENNA, Nov. B.—The Consul of France at Bucharest writes as follows under date the 6th of November:—" On the 2nd and 3rd of Nov. the Turks crossed the Danube from Turtukai to Oltenitza, to the number of about 18,000 men. On the 4th Gen. Parlof attacked them with 9,000 men, and after a brisk cannonade, a combat with the bayonet took place between the two armies. The Turks maintained their positions at Oltenitza, and have fortified them. The combat lasted three hours. In it the Rus sians lost several officers and 136 privates killed, and six superior officers, 18 subalterns, and 479 privates wounded. The loss on the Turkish side is not known. Four thou sand Turks occupy Kalarache, 2,000 have established themselves on an island in fropt of Giurgevo, and 12,000 are in Lesser Wallachia." VIENNA, Nov. B.—From the 4th to the sth the Turks occupied the island near Oltenitza, and crossed unobserved to Wallachia, at dawn. When seen, a battle ensued which lasted twenty-eight hours. The result is unknown. It is rumoured that Giurgevo was taken by storm. Turtukai and Oltenitza are towns on the right and left banks of the Danube, between Rustchuk and Silistria, on the direct route to Bucharest. Higher up the river, and opposite to Rutschuk, lies Giurgevo, from which another road leads to Bucharest. Still ascending the river, we come to Rohava, a town on the right bank, opposite to which lies Kala rache, at the junction of the Schyl and Danube. The troops in Lesser Wallachia are those which crossed from Widdin, which forms the extreme left of the Turkish line. BUCHAREST, Nov. 3.—Prince Gortschakoff has now ex tended the state of siege over Moldavia. The Prince has not left Bucharest to this day. notwithstanding recent events in Lesser Wallachia, conceiving that his presence may be required at points best to be reached from this capital. The Turkish force which crossed from Widdin, is reported to be more considerable than was at first sup posed. Omer Pasha is not there in person. The Turkish commander has thrown up entrenchments at Kalafat, and constructed a tete de pont, from which it is inferred that a permanent bridge will be made from Wallachia to the eyot over against Widdin. Desertions to the Turks daily take place in great numbers, notwithstanding the strict surveillance exercised. The Russian troops under General Dannenberg are echeloned from Krajowa to Slatina, their strength is variously estimated at from 20,000 upwards. The Russians in their entrenchments on the left bank of the Danube make no preparations to cross the river. The Consuls of France and Great Britain expect instructions from their governments, authorising them to leave the country. BELGRADE, Nov. 3.—The official Gazette of the Serbian Government contains a decree by which every person capable of bearing arms is ordered to possess himself of a good serviceable rifle. Parties needing the article may obtain it at cost price from the arsenal. Prince Alex ander has assured the Porte that no foreign power will be allowed to violate the Servian territory. The Journal de St.Petersbourg, of the Ist November, publishes an imperial manifesto of which the following is a translation : By the Grace of God, We Nicholas the First, Emperor „ _ and Antocrat of all the Russias, " By our manifesto of the 14th of June, of the present year, we informed our faithful and well-beloyed subjects of the motives which made it incumbent upon us to de mand from the Ottoman Porte inviolable guarantees in favour of the sacred rights of the orthodox church. " We at the same time announced to them that all our efforts to bring the Porte, by means of amicable persua sion, to sentiments of equity, and to the faithful observ ance of treaties, had remained fruitless, and that, conse quently, we deemed it indispensable to order our troops to advance into the principalities of the Danube. But, in adopting that measure, we still entertained the hope that the Porte would confess its errors, and would resolve to give satisfaction to our just reclamations. " Our expectations have been deceived. " It is in vain also that the great powers of Europe have endeavoured by their exhortations to shake the blind obstinacy of the Ottoman Government. It is by a declaration of war, by a _ proclamation replete with false accusations against Russia, that it replied to the pacific efforts of Europe, and to our forbearance. Finally, enrol ling in the ranks of its army the revolutionists of all countries, the Porte has commenced hostilities on the Danube. Russia is provoked to the combat ; no other means is left them than a resource to arms to compel the Ottoman Government to respect treaties, and to obtain from it the reparation of the offences by which it responded to our most moderate demands, and to our legitimate solicitude for the defence of the orthodox faith in the East, which is also the religion of the Russian people. We are firmly convinced that our faithful subjects will ers which we address to the Most Jom in the fervent p High, that His hand may deign to bless our arms in th holy and just cause which has at all_times found ardent defenders in our pious ancestors. "' In to Domine speravi ; non confoundar in ceternum.' _ • Done at Tsarskoe-Selo, the 20th day of October ( 3 rd of Novembe r ), in the year of Grace, 1853, and the 28th of our reign, "(Signed) Nicgozuo.".. INDIA We have intelligence by overland mail from Calcutta, Oct. 4 ; Bombay, Oct. 14; Burmah, Sept. 19; and Hong Kong, Sept. 27. Our advices from Burmah are to the 19th ultimo. The whole of the country on the eastern side of the Irrawaddy is in the hands of the dacoits or patriots, who have pillaged and burned most of the towns in the district. On the other side of the river the gar risons'of small towns have been attacked, and the towns themselves given to the flames. The adroitness of these robbers is remarkable; they invariably employ stratagem, make a sham attack on the garrison to distract attention and keep its defenders employed, while their main body plunder the town; they then betake themselves to their boats, which they propel through the water at a speed defying capture, and so escape. As to the Ryots, they are dependent upon us, but we afford them no assistance : they are plundered by the dacoits, and we do not protect them, and the robber chiefs have taken advantage of our supineness to point out to them that the policy which we pursued in 1825 will be next year repeated by us, that in fact we will then evacuate the country, when those who have now transferred their allegance to the British Sircar will be left to the mercy of the government which they abandoned, and then the court of Ava will inflict summary punishment upon them. Thus is the fidelity of our newly-acquired subjects jeopardised, while many that would otherwise join us are deterred from doing so. Nor does there appear any possibility of exterminating those ,1 marauders in our own possessions. • No sooner are they worsted by us than they retreat beyond our frontier, whi ther we cannot follow them ; nor can we starve them or the court at Ava into submission, as all their supplies come from the northward ; so that, viewing the matter in an impartial manner, and bearing in mind that these robbers are numbered by thousands, there is but one course to be pursued—Ava must be conquered. There seems nothing else for it ; willing or unwilling, the advance is forced on us, and there is no retreating. The whole of Pegu is to constitute hereafter one division, to the command of which Sir John Cheape has been nominated. An attack is anti cipated from Meah Toon's followers at Henzada, and troops have been sent from Rangoon to that station ; a necessary step, perhaps, but yet to be deplored, as the garrison at Rangoon has thereby been weakened. Captain .James, the Deputy Commissioner at Peshawur, has offered a reward of 6000 rupees for the detection of any of the accomplices in Colonel Mackeson's murder. It is said that either Colonel Outram or Major Edwardes will be appointed to the Commissionership now vacant in the North-west. Orders have been issued for the immediate march from Rawul Pindee te Peshawur of six companies of her IVlesty's 22nd Foot, the 4th Regiment N. I. and the 7th Irregular Cavalry, It is reported that a Russian army had advanced within ten marches of Oorgune, the commercial capital of Khiva, and that the Khans of Khiva and Bokhara had headed their troops to resist the enemy. It is said that the Rus sians avow their object to be, the subjugation of the country, and that the neutrality of Dost Mahommed of Cabal, has been purchased. The Shah of Persia, too, has assembled a large army in the valley of Sooltania, which is to operate against the Turks. The Hon. James Tho mason, Lieut. Governor of the North-west Provinces, died on the 27th ult. Accounts from Bhawulpoor represent a lamentable state of affairs in the dominions of our old ally the deceased Bhawul Khan. Colonel Low, C. 8., has taken his seat as third ordinary member of the Council in the room of Sir Walter Raleigh Gilbert, deceased, and this is the only item of intelligence from the Eastern presidency. Lord and Lady Falkland are at the Hills ; his lordship, it is said, will not leave Bombay until after the arrival of his successor. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence is still in Poona, and purPnana making an extensive tour in the ensuing cold weather. General Stavely has proceeded to Madras to take up the command of that army ; Sir Richard Arm strong, it is understood, will leave India by the Barham in December next. A new bank, to be called the " Mercantile Bank of Bombay," has been started, and the shares are at a pre mium of 4 per cent. The state of trade is dull and depressed, but money is abundant. CHINA We have intelligence from China to the 27th Sep tember :—From Shanghae we learn that on the 7th of September that city was taken by a mob of Kwang tung and Fokien men, who have for some time been organising themselves into a secret society. At daybreak on the 7th, the confederates, with banners flying, con trived to enter the city in a body. One section made at once for the residence of the Chehien, or district magis trate, who had rendered himself peculiarly obnoxious to some of the band. He was taken and plain on the spot, and his residence with its furniture entirely destroyed. Those of the Taoutae, or Intended of Circuit, and of the Hoifung Ting, or Marine Magistrate, suffered the same fate ; but no other houses or persons were wilfully in jured; and it would appear that no farther means were required to take possession of the entire city except to place of guards at the gates, who prevented the carrying a property. The 7th of September was the anniversary of Confucius, when the Chinese mandarins worship before the altars, and a procession takes place, among which were thousands of persons ready for revolt. Here they killed Che-hein. Criers proceeded at once through the city beating the Chinese gong, and proclaiming that Shanghae had changed rulers—that the pillage of private property would not be permitted—that robbers caught in the act would be sum marily punished—and directing the people to open their shops, and proceed with their usual daily avocations. Military patrols paraded the streets to repress violence and tumult, and to arrest offenders against the proclama tion just made. The organised bodies had entirely dis persed, and at seven o'clock a.m. the capture of Shanghae was un fait accompli. The residences of all the mandarians and the old cus tom-house were sacked. Colonel Marshal declared the neutrality of the British government. On the 10th the gates of the city were again opened ; but at night several skirmishes took place, when 16 or 20 Chinese were killed. There has been a rising of the people in Tungkwan. In Chun-how, a town of 5,000 inhabitants, near to Fu mun, the Imperialists burned down a large ancestral temple and the greater part of the village. In conse quence of this the whole population (about 10,000) of Tai-ping arose, joined the people of Chun-how, and over came the Imperialists, who, being thus defeated, returned to the fortification at Fu-mun. There has been a fight between the banditti who had been infesting Shun-teh-hien on the west coast for some weeks past, and the military, at a place called Pau-sha-mi, which ended in more than 100 of the pirates and outlaws being killed and wounded, and 30 captured. Between 30 and 40 of the soldiers were wounded. Advises from Hong Kong state that both imports and exports were dull. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA By the British and North American Royal Mail steam .., A Cal o.a„+ T- I bm Nevi arrived at Philadelphia . fronCthis port on the 31;t ult. The screw steam-ship Sarah Sands, Capt sailed from Montreal for this port on the 27th ult. A large meeting of merchants had been held at New York to express their sentiments relative to the removal from the collectorship of New York of Judge Bronson by the administration. The feeling was one of universal con demnation. A number of resolutions expressive of the opinion of the meeting were unanimously adopted. The advices from Washington state that the govern ment had received voluminous despatches from Com modore Perry, giving a detailed account of his visit to Japan. The contents have not yet bien made public. Advices have also been received of the favourable recep tion of Messrs. Belmont and Daniels, by the governments to which they were respectively accredited. Owing to the neglect of a'watchman on the Hudson River Railway, a great many lives had been jeopardised. The train, a very heavy one, with two locomotives at tached, was run upon a short side truck, and nearly every car was completely demolished. The forward locomotive was run into the ground to such an extent that the hinder most end was elevated to an angle of 45 deg. The direc tors of the Crystal Palace have resolved to keep the Ex hibition open through the winter, instead of closing it in December, as they had previously contemplated: The steamer Ajax, which left New York, for Boston, on the 23d ult., is supposed to have foundered, with all on board. The Board of Health at New Orleans had de clared the yellow fever to be at an end. Judge Edmonds had written to the Herald, succinctly and pointedly stating his reasons for declining to become a candidate for re-election. The judge, finding that his peculiar religious opinions (a belief in spiritual rappings)are obnoxious to a great majority of those composing the political party to which he has hitherto belonged, was determined to retire from public office. .A very destructive conflagration had occurred in New York, on the 31st ult. A portion of Mr. Fowler's extensive buildings, in Nassau and Fulton streets, were destroyed by fire, and property to the amount of $400,000 consumed. What is still more deplorable, two or more lives were lost. A large fire had also oc curred at Brooklyn, destroying about $90,000 worth of property. - The :Boston Transcript says :—The marine losses have been very heavy during the past week, as will be seen from the details given below. Upon the barque Francis, of Marblehead, bu rne d a t C rons t a dt , we h ear o f $ 82,000 insurance at the following offices, viz. :—Neptune. $13,000; Hope, $18,000; Alliance, $28,000; City Mutual, $26,000. It is rumoured that other offices have also lost upon this ves sel. The ship President was valued at $60,000. She is insured for $50,000, as follows, viz. :—United States, $lO,OOO ; New England Mutual, $4,000 ; Equitable, $21,000 ; Alliance, $15,000. The owners had a policy of $lO,OOO upon the freight list at the Alliance office. The ship William Sturges was insured for $35,000 divided among the following offices : —Hope, $90,000 ; Washing ton, $9,000 ; Boston, $9,000 ; Neptune, $8,600. The ship Lapland was insured for $48,500 at the following offices : Neptune, $9,000 ; Hope, $9,000 • Washington, $9,000 ; Suffolk, $9,000 ; E qu it a bl e , $9,000 ; Triton, $3,500. The losses amount to a sum which exceeds a quarter of a mil lion of dollars. Advices from Honduras announce that the Inter- Oceanic Railroad surveying party have discovered a new route, which will enable persons going from New York to reach California sev en days earlier than by way of Pa nama. The route is represented as straight, dry, and nearly level, and passes through rich silver and other mines. Advices from Mexico to the date of the 21st ult. from Vera Cruz, announce that the battle between the Yucatan revolutionists and the Mexican troops continued eight days. A remnant of the revolutionists had fled to the mountains. The Diario Official announces that money had been sent to London to meet the dividend under the convention of 1850. Two hundred and sixty-three rob bers, murderers, pickpockets, &c., were sent from Mexico to Vera Cruz under a strong escort. The Spanish Ambas sador was still at Vera Cruz. The particulars of his dif ficulty with the Mexican government had' not transpired. Horrible accounts of the depredations of Indians in the frontier States continued to reach the capital. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, NEW YORK, Nov MONEY.—The downward tendency which existed in the stock market on the sailing of the Canada reached the lowest point of depression a few days thereafter. A re action to some extent has since taken place, attended by considerable transactions, the low rates having brought out purchasers. At the close there was a general steadi ness but the business was limited. Loans on call on the better class of securities can still be obtained rea dily at seven per cent., but long negociations are dif kcult. Discount on first-class paper rules at 12 to 15 per cent., and on railroad notes, at four to six months, at from 15 to 24 per cent., according to quality. The receipts of gold from California since our last: have been 2,700,000 dols. The demand for gold for remittance to Europe, it is expected, will absorb the greater part of this amount. There is a considerable number of produce bills on England in the market, which, on account of the want of confidence, are difficult of negociation. Other bills are also freely offered, and the rates are rather tend ing downward. Foreign exchange has moved slowly; there are plenty of produce bills on Europe offering, which, on account of the want of confidence, are difficult of negociation. We quote first-class bills : London, 1091 to 1092 ; Paris, 5422 to 511+ ; Amsterdam, 481 to 41+ ; Hamburg, 36+ to 361; Bremen, 814 to 80k ; Frankfort, 41+. Corrox.—(From W. P. Wright's Circular, Nov. 2.) —ln this market there have been large sales, with an ad vance of Ic. to per lb. on the quotations of 24th ult. On Tuesday of last week we received, simultaneously from Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, Macon and other points in Georgia, and also from Alabama, telegraphic despatches containing the information that, on the night of the 24th October, a frost had passed over those various localities, and, as it was generally reported, severe enough to kill the cotton plant, a speculative feeling at once sprung up, which continued throughout the week, the market on Saturday closing at the advance above stated ; the busi ness would have been larger, but for the failure of the mail, and the interruption of telegaphic communication during the week, after Tuesday. On Monday we re ceived from Charleston, Savannah, and Augusta, let ters subsequent to the frost of the 25th October, and though none deny the fact of the frost, there is great doubt as to the extent of the injury sustained thereby, some asserting positively that the plant was killed by it, which others as strongly deny, and state their belief that the frost would, on the contrary, prove favourable for forcing open the bolls, and the gathering of much cotton that might otherwise have been lost. The strongest argument in favour of the opinion that no in jury has been done to the cotton still in the fields exists in the fact, that both in Charleston and Savannah the report of frost caused holders to demand higher rates ; but accounts from the interior not confirming the frost as a killing one, the markets became dull again, and closed at a decline of Ic. to 4c. per lb. in the former, and. fc. per lb. in the latter. Prices are firmly maintained by holders, influenced somewhat by our reduced stock of un sold cotton. The southern markets have been dull and drooping';' priceS are lower, sales light, stocks increasing, foreign freights high and scarce. The following:is a state ment of the movement in cotton since the Ist of Sep tember last, as compared with the previous three years : 1853 1852 1851 1850. Receipts at the ports 177,000 337,000 251,000 210,000 Exports to Great Britain 55,000 98,000 70,000 111,000 „ France 6,000 12,000 28,000 26,000 other for. ports 16,000 16,000 6,000 24,000 Total exports 77,000 126,000 104,000 161.000 Stock on hand BEBADSTUFFS.—For flour there was an improved feeling on the receipt of the accounts per steamer Niagara, to the 15th instant, from Liverpool ; and an advance of 61c. per barrel was realised. The advices per Arctic, received on Monday, gave a fresh impulse to prices, and a further advance of 25c. per barrel has been realised. Wheat has regained the decline of 2c. per bushel, and the market closes with a further considerable advance, and a large demand. Indian corn has declined 2c. to 4c. per bushel. Exports of breadstuffs from the United States to Great Britain and Ireland, since Ist September last :—Flour, 303,546; last year, 208,732 barrels. Wheat, 1,887,504; last year, 1,436,496 bushels. Indian corn, 53,224 ; last year, 31,950 bushels. PnovisroNs.—Pork in moderate demand, and the stock is rather light. There is but little good old beef in bbls. in the market, but quite a stock of ordinary. There has been no new tierce beef come to market yet, old brought $l7 to $2O, and newwill probably bring some three dollars a fierce more. Butter and cheese dull. NAVAL STORES. — SaIes of spirits of turpentine have been made to a moderate extent, at 68c. to 70c.; crude turpentine, $4.75; common rosin, $1.70 to $1.85; white rosin, $2.75 to $4.75 ; tar, $3.25 to $3.621. IRox.—The demand is fair, with sales of 700 to 800 tons Scotch pig, at $32.50 to $33, cash. Swedish steel iron, $87.50, 6 mos. We hear of no sales of English bars. FREIGHTS are firm. We quote :—To Liverpool: Cotton, square bales, per lb., id. to 9-32 d. ; flour, per barrel, 4s. to 4s. 6d. ; rosin, 3s. 6d. to 4s. ; heavy goods, per ton, 40s. ; grain in bulk per bushel, 13d. to 131 d. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. I.—The cotton market was un settled yesterday by the Arctic's news, and the sales barely reached 1,000 bales. Shis morning the market is active, and already 4,000 bales have been sold. Middling, 9c. to 91e. ; superfine flour $6.90 to $7 ; cornigull, at 65c. to 70c. ; mess pork, $l6 ; rice dull, at 5-/r for new crop. Sight exchange on New York is at per cent. premium. CHARLESTON, Nov. I.—Sales to-day, 850 bales, at prices ranging from Bc. to 10tc. SAVANNAH, OCT. 31.—A slight advance has taken place in our cotton market, both to-day and on Saturday. FOREIGN MISCELLANI DELIVERY or GOODS AT MELBOURNE.—There seems to be a very loose mode of doing business prevailing amongst lightermen and coasters, which causes mu c h complaint and delay. A lighter brings a cargo of goods alongside the jetty, without any note of them, which goods are delivered to a carter, who delivers them to the agent or consignee, who, of course, takes them in, relying in blind confidence that everything is correct, but unable to ascertain if there be anything wrong. Forty cases may be expected ' • the agent receives thirty. Th e car t er has delivered all that he has received ; the lighterman all the cargo he brought from the ship. A simple arrange ment would rectify this.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. THE BATTLE OP THE BEARD.—It is known that there are in France certain railway directors who have vowed a war to the knife against beards and moustaches, and have forbidden the use of them amongst the men employed on their lines. In some of these companies the unfortunate employes have been compelled, by superior orders, to sacrifice the luxury of their moustaches ; and, since the suppression of the queue in the old guard, there has not been seen a hecatomb so sad and so difficult to be made. But this antipathy for the beard, which is altogether British in its origin, is now attacked in its stronghold, the British soil. The g uards , engineers, firemen, and other employes of the Grand Central of Scotland have tried beards for the last year, and have found that the use of this natural ornament has caused amongst them a notable diminution of colds, soar throats, and toothaches. They have, in consequence, addressed a circular to the employes on other lines to communicate to them the happy result of their experience, and to engage them to imitate them. Alas ! what are we coming to ? Who knows if the con tagion will not pass the strait, and if we shall not see a turn-out of the employes on the railways until thei r b eard* have been mitered ?--journal des DeLats, •. rrom Laouan and Borneo Proper to the 24th of August state, that the coal vein on the main land belonging to the Eastern Archipelago company, which was before reported as being 30 feet thick, is now found to he a remarkable mass up wards of 60 feet thick, and altogether so extensive above water level that steam power for the purpose of working it will not be required for ten years to come. RusslA AND THE NEW SAINT.—On the morning of the 30th ult., the cannon of St. Angelo announced to the Roman world the accession of a new saint to the calendar, in the person of Father Andrew Babola, a Pole, of the company of Jesus, whose promotion to the honours of martyrdom and beatification has been actually effected, in spite of the remonstrances and opposition of the court of Russia. All Romanist subjects of the Czar now residing in Rome are stated to have received private admonition from the Russian embassy that they would do well to abstain from attending the ceremony, which was sumpti: ously performed by the chapter of St. Peter's, the Pope himself only undertaking the still higher ceremony of sanctification. The portrait and biography of the blessed father were abundantly distributed at the gates of the church, and the expressions used in the latter were by no means calculated to soften down any irritation already existing in the mind of the Emperor Nicholas, alluding forcibly to the ignorance and barbarity of the schismatics of the Greek Church, and detailing the atrocious torments with which the Cossack officers, Zieleniecki and Popenko, put the saint to death at Gianovia, in 1657, on account of his zeal and success in converting schismatic ecclesiastics, with their flocks, to the pale of Rome. His Holiness and the sacred college paid their adorations to the martyr in St. Peter's in the afternoon." AMERICAN CRIMINAL COI:MTS.-At the Supreme Court, in Alfred, Maine, on the 14th inst. (October), Wm. E. Haskell, who was convicted on two indictments for store-breaking, being asked by Judge Howard if he had anything to say, made some hypocritical remarks, calcu lated to propitiate the judge, and received sentences of two years in the State prison on each indictment. County attorney Drew observed that the prisoner was a dange rous man, and should have had a more severe sen tence ; and Haskell replied in some personal remarks, which brought down the audience in a perfect uproar, so that some time elapsed before order was restored. The sheriff then informed Haskell that Deputy Lord would take him back to gaol; but the prisoner objected, and expressed a willingness to go along with Deputy Moulton. This arrangement was not approved by the sheriff; and when an attempt was made to take Haskell out of the dock, a tremendous fight occurred,—sheriffs, police, and lawyers, assisting to bind and carry off the prisoner, who fought like a madman. For this freak the judge re-con sidered one of his sentences, and sent him to Thomaston for 17 years, instead of four. He had prepared a heavy bludgeon with which to knock down Sheriff Moulton, which was the reason of his anxiety for the pleasure of the company of the latter to gaol.—New York Herald. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AT NEW YOI?K. Anoux six o'clock, on Sunday morning, the 30th ult., a fire was discovered in the upper part of one of the build ings in the block at the corner of Fulton and Nassau streets, known as Fowler's-buildings. It is probable that the flames had been smouldering for some time in thk in teHor of the building, as the fire had attained great strength when it was discovered, and although the alarm, raised by the police and the insurance watch, was promptly responded to, the flames were raging in three buildings, No. 121 and No. 123, Fulton-street, and 96, Nassau-street, before the firemen could commence effective operations. While some of the men were engaged in saving the goods, they were subject to the greatest peril. The beams of the third floor having been burned through, two heavy iron safes fell with a tremendous crash on the floor below, and the whole mass sank into the cellar, bearing with it several of the men who were labouring to secure the goods. John Carman and Michael O'Brien were descending the stairs, when they were caught by the falling mass, and buried beneath the ruins. It is also thought that a young man, named John Van Alen, shared the same fate. About two o'clock the next morning, the body of John Carman was recovered and taken to the station-house. It was so badly crushed and burned that it could only be identified by his gold watch and chain. Meanwhile the conflagration !continued, and the three buildings men tioned were entirely consumed. The building No. 98, Fulton-street, was also burned out. The flames caught the roofs of the adjoining buildings, and of the Herald newspaper building on the opposite side of Nassau-street. These structures, however, were saved, though not with out great damage to the contents by water. The buildings consumed were owned by Mr. Jonathan 0. Fowler, grocer, of Greepwich-street, whose loss is esti mated at 40,000 dols ; insurance 28,000 dols. The ground is leased to him by the Reformed Dutch Church, to whom it belongs. The block consisted of six stores, one of which was not harmed. They cost 80,000 dols., and were in sured for 50,000 dols. The stores No. 123, Fulton, and No. 96, Nassau-street, were chiefly occupied by P. S. Rogers, clothier, whose loss is estimated at $165,000, on which there was insurance to the amount of $50,000.. The total loss by this fire is pro bably not less than $350,000, about ohe-third of which is covered by iusurance. About eleven o'clock a.m., while the above described conflagration was raging in. New York, a fire occurred in Brooklyn, in the storehouses of Messrs. T. Shortland and Sons, on the North Pier of the Atlantic Dock, recently occupied by Messrs. Verplank and Chambers. The fire broke out in the engine room. of No. 33, and extended to the adjoining stores on either side. The buildings and machinery were greatly damaged, and the contents, amounting to nearly 70,000 bushels of wheat anti corn, were partly consumed and partly spoiled. The total loss, probably, exceeds $BO,OOO. LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL TITE first meeting of the new Council was held on Wed nesday, the Mayor, Mr. S. Holme, presiding over a full attendance of members. TICE ELECTION OF MAYOR Mr. C. TURNER said he would not, in the Mayor's pre sence, expatiate in the manner he could wish, but he must be permitted to say that, whether in dispensing hospi talities, presiding over their meetings, or administering justice from the magisterial bench, he had increased the very high opinion previously entertained of him by his fellow-townsmen; and in leaving that chair he would carry with him the respect and esteem of this great com munity. In proposmg his successor, he was enabled to name a gentleman who was eminently qualified for the office, and who, he would venture to anticipate, would be acceptable to the Council and the town. Mr. Lloyd was well known, and so universally esteemed, that he felt he need say nothing to recommend him to gentlemen with whom he had long acted in. the service of the public. He thought it was especially fit that, on the present occasion, they should raise Mr. Lloyd to the honour, inasmuch as it seemed probable that next year would witness the com pletion of St. George's-hall, a building of which Liverpool had reason to be justly proud, and over the committee of which Mr. Lloyd had presided with so much ability. Be lieving that he deserved this distinction at their hands, and that he was eminently qualified to maintain the dignity of the office, and to discharge its duties with ef f iciency, he had great pleasure in nominating Mr. Lloyd as Mayor for the ensuing year. Mr. HUGS HORNIIY seconded the proposition, for he was quite sure that the Council could not elect a gentle man better qualified to become the worthy successor of the retiring Chief Magistrate, or one who would be more likely to make them less sensibly to feel the loss they were about to experience in being deprived of Mr. Holme's services as their chairman. He .believed that a unani mous feeling existed in the Council on this sublect ; and aware, as he was, that every member of the Council was well persuaded of Mr. Lloyd's merits, he should be tres passing unjustifiably on their time did he more than ex press his entire approval of the motion made by Mr. Turner, and his hearty concurrence with all he had said in support of it. There being no other name proposed, the Mayor de clared Mr. Lloyd to be - unanimously elected. (Cheers.) The new MAYOR, having made the usual declarations, returned thanks to the Council, and said : — Before pro ceeding to the business of the meeting, it is my pleasing duty to remind you of a good old custom. On Sunday next I shall proceed to St. Peter's Church, and I shall feel it a compliment to myself, if as many of you, as can find it convenient, will honour me with your attendance. ELECTION OF ALDERMEN. The next business was the election of eight Aldermen, to supply the places of the undermentioned, who retire : Messrs. Thomas Bold, James Parker, Joseph Cooper, John Nelson Wood, James Procter, John Bramley-Moore, Ed mund Molyneux, and Thomas Chilton. The names of the gentlemen voted for, and the number of votes each ob tained, were as follows :—Messrs. S. Holme, 49 : E. Moly neux, 47 ; J. Parker, 44 ; J. Cooper, 44 ; J. Bromley- Moore, 44 : Thomas Bold, 34; Thomas Toulmin, 33 ; R. C. Gardner, 30; Thomas Chilton, 23 ; James Procter, 10 ; George Holt, 7 ; Robertson Gl a d s t one , 5 ; J. Stewart, 5 ; Hugh Hornby, 3 ; J. A. Tobin, 2 • J. B. Lloyd, 2 ; Jame s Holme, 1; and J. C. Fernihough;l. The first eight were declared elected. The usual allowance of £2,000 to the Mayor was voted, on the proposition of Mr. S. Holme, seconded by Mr. Hugh Hornby. THE DOCK COMMITTEE The next business was the appointment of six members of the Council to be members of the committee for the affairs of the estate of the trustees of the Liverpool docks, upon vacanies occasioned by the retirement from the Council, under the provisions of the Municipal Corpora tions Act, of Messrs. Charles. Turner, James Holme, Ed mund Molyneux, Oliver Holden, Matthew Gregson, and James A. Tobin. They were re-elected without opposition. On the recommendation of the Health Committee, the salary of Mr. W. L. Crosby, clerk in the Treasurer's office, Cornwallis-street, was increased from £lOO to £l2O per annum; and a bylaw to prevent obstructions in the street by persons exposing articles for sale therein was approved, and a copy ordered to be sent to the Secretary of State.
