SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZES. The Assizes for this division of the connfy formally commenced cn Saturday, when the commission was opened at St. George's Hall by Mr. Baron Watson, who arrived in Liverpool by the six o'clock train from len easter. In consequence of the business of the city of Lancaster not being concluded, Judge Channell had to re main, and, therefore, did not accompany M r. Baron Watson. The splendid equipage of the High Sheriff of the County, C. Townley, WEI , was at the Lime-street railway station to receive his Lordship, and upon his arrival he at' once proceeded to St. George's Hall, when the commission was was formally opened. Yesterday, his Lordship Mr. Baron Watson, attended by the High Sheriff's Dap sty, was present at divine service at St. George's Church, accompanied by the Mayor, F. &sand, Esq. After the morning service a 'very excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Hind°, from the 222nd chapter of Revelations, and part of the 20th verse, " Surely I come quickly." After the service, his Lordship and several of the congregation received the sacrament. This day his Lordship wil• deliver the charge to the grand jury, and the business of the assizes will commence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -A_ TIJRDAY. LIVERPOOL. BZFORS MB. J. MEIN. Tux rottatt.—A well dresssd young woman, named Eliz t Parkinson, was charged 'for being disorderly in Pall Mall. The only feature about the ease was this—The prisoner said she was in a house in'Pell Mall, when a girl took a red hot !Ater and laid it along her jaw, it dieting a serious wound on lier, an 1 etc then ran into the street to call the police, when the officer came up ant took her into custody. She had a desperate looking burn on her cheek, *a I this being cousidered sufficient punishment, she was dicharged. THE " CIIA V:P AG NE " AND "REAL PAIN."-W illiam Webster, who stood remanded from the previ ins day, on a charge of having stolen a bottle of champagne, and half a gallon of brandy, the property of Messrs. Jas. Banes and Ca., was brought up. Mr. Goodere, for the prisoner, plea-led good character, and begged the case might be Aeil , with in a summary manner. 'I he prisoner was sent to jail- for one month. GAROTTIN A FItENCIIII tlC—John Linney, dressed as a gentleman, but who said be belonged to a vessel called the Africa, and was a native of France, charged Riza Willis, a nee iliarly dressed and looking young woman, and Thomas Webb, a well dressed fellow, with having robbed him of his gold watch and some small articles. Ile said on Friday night week, about 11 o'clock, he was in St. James-stret, no his way to 103, Parklane, where he lodged, when suddenly the male prisoner sprang en him and seized him by the throat, knocking him down, and then the woman rushed at and cut the eh tin of his watch, and both got away with it, his handkerchief, and a key. The latter article was found on the man when he was arrested. The prosecutor fully identified the prisoners as the persona who robbed him, and they were sent for trial. E Iward Sutton, a nice looking lad, was remanded on a charge of having stolen hilt* a sovereign from the till of Mr. Wa!ker, a tobteco manu flc7nrer, in Scotland-:oad. A CALL To The " EA It."—A young fellow named John Sullivan, was charged by Mr. John Barnes, a publican, carrying on business in !Vlnrybone, who said he was pass ing through his bar, when he saw the prisoner at one of the tills, helping himself to cop pers out of it, and he at once seized and gave him into custody. The prisoner said it was a conspiracy amongst the palice who had a spite towards him! He was sent for trial. [Soon after the prisoner was removed a frightfut ro a was heard in the adjeing room. which re minded one of a scrims ve at " Tranmere Wakes." It arose io consequence of the prisoner having attempted to make his escape, au attempt in which he nearly suceeedel despite the exertions of about thirty-two policemen, headed by detecive etficer Marks. The prisoner was nearly in the act of fl'nging himself over the staircase, when Mr. Lloyd seized him wi It a grasp like an iron vice, and held him until ho was properly manacled.] COURT OF PASSAGE. On S aturday this court was held by adjournment for the purpose of disposing of s'veral cases that had stood over from the last court. Mr. Jame', Q C., presided. TIC ['LEY V.

Jeffery, the sum of £l9 the value of a carpet, which it was alledged his servants had destroyed through their want of knowledge as to the pr,par me'hod in cleaning of it. A female domestic serv.lnt, in the plaintiff's employ, proved the carpet in question having been sent to the defendant's to be cleaned, and on its being returned found that the coliurs bid all ran one into another.

The other cases disposed of wer) totally devoid of public interest. GFNERAL WYNDILIMFOU INDIA.—Major-General Wynd ham, the hero of the Redan, has accepted an important commend in India, and will proceed to the East as icon pOll ib'e. tsN AMERtICAN LADY DINING IN PAILIS.—We dined last week with a French Countess. Your American imagina tion may perhaps fancy lavish display and abundant waste; bat no—the helm was small, though arranged and fur nished with the most elegant taste. The lady would not have been a true Frenchwoman had she expended money in useless. superfluities. 'I be dinner, which was quite perfect in a certain way, might be characterised in a like meaner. There was not too much of anything, and yet a plenty. Abundance did not appear so much as tastefal and beautiful arrangement. surpassingly delicate, too, were the sauces. For instance, after many dishes, there was served a roast turkey, nhich I supposed•was like all other turkeys —very good ; but I was serprieed upon adding the saucy to a good, nutritious bit of the breast. I discovered a new and unexp , cted flivour— something that I did not remember to have tasted at an American table. To begin. I shall give you the order and names of the courses, thinking that it may help some yourg housekeeper giving her first dinner party. There were only ten at table, which was oval, and the hostess sitting at the middle of one side. The centre ornament was—not an expensive silver epergne, as you. might have seen on some more extravagant table—but a large pyramid of beautiful camelliet, rcses, and violets, buried in fresh looking green moss, with here and there peeping out a little pot if ripe strawberries—for it was February, and they were then a rarity—the whole rising from a low, brown wicker basket. The china—that is the plates, for no dishes were placed on the table, as the waiters, who num bered only two, handed every dish, it being first well carver , ,en aside table—the china was admirable for solidity and beauty ; the ,colour was dirk blue and gold. The glasses were four to each person ; and one in particular, of fine and slender shape, W 49 exquisitely ornamented with a garland of leaves and grapes ; this, I observed, was kept for the beat wine. After the soup, which had rice in it, and was flavoured with tomato, there was p'aced on the table opposite the hostess a large si:ver salver. covered with a damask napkin, on whieh lay a splendid turbot entire, so large that it covered the salver to the edge. It looked so enormous that I thought of a small whale. All thoughts, however, of such eourse and oily creatures van i s h ed at once when, on help ing myself to a piece of this fine white looking fish meat, and adding the sauce, which was cream v and a little acid, the delicous tu rbot melted in th e mouth. Then came pungent radishes, which are a French app e ti zer , and cold spiced sausage, cut in slices ; and a good red wire was solved to all. After small rich oysterirates, came the fillet of beef, with a mushroom sauce, and accompanied by simple potatoes. Then lamb chops, dressed with bread crumbs, and accompanied by boiled green peas. Next roast Terkey,.. with the ablve- :mentioned extraordinary sauce, and adi of sweetbread of veal cooked in a simple but meet satisfying manner ; and finally, lettuce, dressed only with oil ana vinegar, and a little parsley cut up fine. With each different course, of course, a different wine was brought, champagne being . with the dossers, which w as only the best and most delicate ice cream ; the fruits, bosh frfth and candied. and greet sugared chesnute, which are a favourite Frecelt ben-boat Finally, black etff:e, served in cups and saucers each different in style and pattern; and after the liqueurs and sweet cordials, WA all, both ladies and gentlemen, left the table and went to the drawing room. I thought as we came home I never heeled a dim] -1. could be so complete; yet with nothing very Expensive, nothing showy nor elaborate, yet every dish was finished, and the whole artistically perfect.' How much more satisfactory is such a dinner than one of those largo and costly evening parties where no one in particular is p;eased or benefited ; whore the guests are crowded, and their costly toilettes crushed ; where the ices, et ceteras, are taken standing, and no artistic taste is gratified. We suppose that tan such dinners would not cost as muck as one such ball, and tow much more plea sure to be derived therefrom, to say uothirg of the added comfort and hospitality given to one's gnesta.—A Lady, in New York Tribune. ;ADMIRALTY COURT, LONDON.-Aut!•3T 7. B EFOU.S DIG LUSHINGTON. THII ROYAL AltCla—'B,lTTO3iii.Y BOND.--Th'tlll9 case the action was brought against the barque Royal Arch, by Messrs. S. S. de Wog' and Co., of Liverpool, as agent; of Mr. Mahlon Vail, of New York, the holder of a bond on the ship. It was pleaded that the vessel , having received considerable injury from tempestuous weather while prosecuting her voyage from Scotland to New York, her cantain, upon arriving at the last named city, in December, 1855, not having money at command to defray the (aliens' of repairing has vessel, altd being unable, on his own personal credit or that of his ownerv, to obtain the same otherwise thaw by bottomry, applied to Mr. Vail to make him the necessary advance on the bottomry of the said barque ; to which application Mahlon Vail promised to accede, upon condition of the master obtaining the consent of the acing owner of the ship, Archibald J. Campbell, of Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Such consent being given, £l,OOO was advanced, and a bottoairy bond signed on the sth of February, 1856, for the amount, which was to be repaid, with interest, upon the expiration of five days next after the ship's arrival at a port of discharge in the United States, or in any of the British prtvnces of North America. It further alleged that Royal Arch having in due course of time returned to New York as a port of diseharge, and five days having expired, an agreement was come to under which the time of payment was extended until five days next after the arrival of the vessel at a port of discharge in any of the British Provil ces in North America, except her then intended trip to Nova Scotia. It was asserted that the blique subsequently proceeded to Liverpool, in Nova &via, and then to Shediac, in New Brunswick, where she took on board a cargo and sailed therewith to Liver pool, in England, and that the said bottomry bond was now duo and in full force and effect, and that no part of the £4,000, or the interest thereon, had been paid. In opposition to the validity of the bond it was alleged the master did not make any application to the said Mahlon Vail for a loan of money ou bottomry, and that the sum of .€4,000 was not advanced, but that Mr. Vail did advance money for the general disbursements of the barque to the amount of £3,060 or thereabouts. That when the ship wet' ready for sea Mr. Vail, for the fist time, required the master to Enter into a bottomry bond as a security for the tradesmen's bills when they become due, to which arrange ment the master and the acting owner at Nova Scotia strongly objected, but Mr. Vail refusing to allow the ship to go to sea until the security required was given ; the master, having no alternative, signed his name to the bond of the sth of February, 1856. It was further pleaded that upon the vessel's sabseqaent arrival at New York, in May, 1856, when the said bond (if valid) became due, in conse• quence of Mr. Vail's conduct she was not placed in his hands, but the master himself collected the freight, which, after payment of tae ship's disbursements, was handed over to Mr. Vail, in part satisfaction of his claim on the owners, and that although an agreement was afterwards entered into between Mr. Archibald J Ain Campbell, " for self and owners" and Mr. Vail, the two other owners—, Cohn Campbell and Sylvanas Martin—were not cognisant of the matter, and had not authorised a third party to act for them. It was submitted that the validity of the instrument must be pronounced against, and the court was asked to decree costs against the party setting it up. The Court would take time to consider its judgment. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1857. THE - SHIP SENATOR. In regard to the paragraph in the NOLTHERN Taus of Saturday, as to this remarkable cm, we hare obtained the copy of the counsels' opinions as to the illegality of the prosecution, under which Captain Lees has been for nearly twelve months' stlff,,ring at St. Helena, without the necessary documents for an appeal. /Mr. Tindal Atkinson's opiiiion was:—" It seems the case must now turn on the question of the sufficiency of the indictment, and here 1 think the defendant must succeed on appeal. It appears that an appeal lies to the Privy Council, bat on matters of law only. With respect to merits the only coarse is to petition the Crown." Mr. D. Keant's opinion was—" I have read the judge's notes, and am of opinion that if the record be such as he describes, there is error on the face of it. Without the charter of justice from St. Helena, I cannot point out the mode of taking advantage of this defect. or course, a copy of the indictment and record itself should be obtained. It is to be lamented that the log (which is e►idence), and statutory ' declarations' from those of the crew who were not detained at St. Helena, were not, on their arrival in England, at once taken and forwarded, with any other eta ements or letters applicable, to the Secretary of State." Mr. Solly Flocd's opinion was—" I have read the case, and the copy of judge's notes of trial. •lam of opinion the indictment is bad, that the omissions in creation render the whole proceeding coram non jqclice, and that the prisoner is eatitlsd to sat the canviction aside on taking the necessary steps, in the nature of a writ of error."- LIGHT-SHIP ON THE BLACEWATER RAN A' Perhaps in no place in the Channel have s) many fine ships been wrecked as on the above dangerous batik. It will be of great importance, as regards the sarety of life and property, to infirm the mercantile marine that a light ship is to be placed on it in future, and it affords us grrat satisfaction in stating that this is owing to the exertions— carried on for nearly twenty years single-handed—of our esteemed fellow-labourer at the press, John Greene, Esq., J.P., proprietor of the Wexford Independent. We think Mr. Greeae deserving of the thanks (to say rothing stronger) of the shipping community for hie successful exertions. We copy the following from the Wexford Independent, of Saturday— " Every friend of humanity and advocate of the interests of Commerce throughout the globe, will read with sincere gratification the official notice from the Ballast (Mee, Dablin, communicating the glad tidings. that at length, the dangerous shoal on cur South East 'Coast, known as the Black water Bank, shall have a Light Ship placed thereon, from the first week in October. We trust, under Divine Providence, that there is now a termination to those numerous periodical calamities, involving a large loss of human life, and the destruction of property representing not only thousands but millions, that it was our painful duty so often to record, as having occurred in that quarter. For upwards of twenty yews Alderman Greene—almost unaided and alone—strongly urged on the authorities, by private and public remonstrance, the necessity of placing a light on that perilous station ; and although his appeals were for a long period unheeded, he b is now the happiness to reflect, that, owing to steady perseverance for the achievement of that noble obj , et he had at heart, he has at length not only triumphed, but re:eived in addition the thanks of the Elders of the Trinity House, Londor, and the members of the Ballast Board for his exertion.." EXECUTION OF JACKSON AT STAFFORD. TERRIBLE SCENE ON THE GALLOWS. The convict G3orge Jackson, who, with Charles Brown, since respited, was sentenced to death for the murder of Mr. Charlesworth at Abbot Bromley, suffered death on Saturday morning in front of the county gaol at Stafford, when, in addition to the usual terrible character of a public execution, a shocking scene was enacted on the gallows. When the unhappy man was made arquinted with the fact that his follow prisoner was to be spared, and himself hung, he gave way to one of those fearful paroxlsms of grief to which he has been subject more or less since his condemnation, and when visited on Thursday by his Pgad parent?, three sisters, and a brother-in-law, the scene was one of a most distressing character, and exceeded anything of the kind previously witnessed within the prison walls. The fearful intensity of his grief when be bide a last adieu to his wretehel parents was truly touching, and drew tears from the eyes of the gaolers, who were com pelled to separate them from their fated son by force. So bitter was the feeling that "be should see their face no more" that it was for awhile feared that his naturally weak mind would lose its equilibrium and leave him a maniac. The poigtant sorrow which he experienced almost entirely robbed bill of physical strength, which continued up to the time of his execution. Shortly before eight ,o'clock, the various authorities of the gaol proceeded to the con demned cell, where they found the nnbeppy, man in a most pitiable condition, sobbing violently, and evincing unmistakable signs of sincere repentence. He was informed that the fatal moment had arrived, when be sunk to the ground overwhelmed with gr i e f, an d w hil e the process of pinioning was proceedi ng t h e spectacle was truly heartrending. In almost an insensible state he was carried from the condemed cell towards the scaffold ; but upon reaching this be began to struggle most violently, end cried, sobbed, and shrieked in a manner that struck awe into the breasts of all present. When the cap was placed over his face, he again struggled and succeeded in pulling it off. At length, however, the fatal preliminaries were concluded, and the bolt was drawn. The n un a appy man struggled m os t v i o l e ntly, and death did ot ppe ar t o take place fur several minutes. During the whole of the morning, and at the time of the execution, the rain was desettadiag in torrents ; still a large concourse of persons was preterit. Till I - max CON,PI4ATJR3.--Sib2ldl 13 sentenced to transportation, and Cislotti and Galli to fifteen years imprison:net t. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening. The Cotton Market has been quiet but very steady tc-lay. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which Speculators and Exporters took nearly 2,000. The Liverpool Share Market has manifested an inactive feeling to day. The sales were limited, and prices favoured buyers, particularly Great Western Stock, which, owing to the smallness of the dividend, has recedA fully 5 per cent. Among the latest prices are—Caledonian 38i, 39 ; Chester and Birkenhead, 67 ; East Lancashire, 95i. 96 ; Great Western. 551, 56i; London and North Western, 102, 1)21; Midland Stock, 841, - 841 ; Dovers, 22i, 22 5-1.6. The Money Market is still in an unsettled and uncertain position. The effect of the news from India has been to keep affairs in a state of much confusion ; and at one moment it was supposed that the Bank Directors might be inclined -to advance the rate of discount. There seems some reason now to believe that at all events such a measure will not immediately take place; and the verylfavourable nature of the acceun• s of the harvest, together with the expected arrivals of.specie from Australia and other places, has counteracted the influence which, it was presumed, would be ad versely exercised. The diminished inquiry for accommodation which has succeeded the payments of the 4th, and the arrangement of the Consol account, have induced a more favourable opinion, although many are inclined to doubt a permanent reduction in the value of money, while contin gencies connected with the Indian expedition, and the additional supplies required to carry out the Russian railway schema, are likely to prevent a redundancy such as might occur in ordi nary periods after the beneficial influence of abundant crops. Although rumours of loans and other financial arrangements to expedite the preparations of the Indian Govern ment to repress the mutiny have been circulated, it is not thought that there will be any need of speedy financial assistance, the resources here and in the presidencies being sufficient to meet the current outlay. Should, however, the present attempt to subjugate the native troops prove unavailing, then an appeal might be made for pecuniary aid, and the suggestion has been offered that it would best come in the shape of a Four per Cent Guaranteed Anglo-Indian Loan, so as to prevent a pressure upon the Money Market of Calcutta and Bombay, while the security proffered would .be of a charac ter to secure its ready acceptance in this country. and assist to maintain the power of the East India Company in the East. The events of the last three weeks in relation to Indian finance, and the bear ing that they may have upon our monetary resources, have occupied almost exclusive atten tion; and there can be little question but that, for the next few months, the whole of this topic will engross the chief attention of our statesmen and capitalists. The business transacted in the Consol Market to-day was but trifling, and owing to the Bank returns being so unfavourable, a decline of per cent was recorded at the official close of business. There is no particular feature to. notice in con nection with the time operations, as the speculators are now dealing with much reserve, owing to the uncertainty felt with regard to the probable tenor of the forthcoming a ivice.s from the East. An opi nion still prevails that Delhi has succumbed, which, combined with the relieved state of the Money Mar ket, has prevented much depression in the Funds During the last two or three days there have been no withdrawals of gold from the Bank of England, which has likewise assisted in promoting rather a more cheerful feeling. A little anxiety has been caused by the unfavourable change in the weather, which in some districts hes checked harvest opera tions. Consols for transfer were 901-, 004, at which they closed ; but at one period they were marked 90g. For the 9th proximo the prices were 901 904, but after hours they receded to 908 90g. The New Three per Cents. realised 908 91, and the Reduced 90a 90i Bank .Stock was fiat at 216. Exchequer Bills remained at 4 dis. to par., and the Bonds were 98i- 98',4 084. Another failure, resulting from the Consol settlement, was declared in London • or tue iregulazities committed by the party in question at his banker's, the event has occasioned more than usual exeiternent. After receiving his " differences," the party alluded to appears to have arranged his outstanding engage ments by checks on 'the Commercial Bank of London, where he had an account open. These were paid, but his assets were insufficient, and when inquiries were made it was found that he had left' for the country. Although the amount involved was not very heavy, viz , about 5,0001, his bankers naturally endeavoured to recover the sums they had over paid, and as this was the fourth failure since the commencement of the liquidation, it produced a good deal of conversation in City circles. The following list shows the fluctuations in Consols during the past week : Lowest Highest Closing prices. prices. prices.

The exports of specie have been 1,012,9631., namely : By the Atrato, for the West Indies, 20,443/. ; the Ripon, for the East Indies, 1,015,1701., of which 5,3811. was in gold, and the remainder silver, divided as follows :—Gold to Ceylon, 252/. ; Madras, 2,840/., and Singapore, 2,840/.

To-day it was officially reported that the dividend on the Great Western railway shares would only be at the rate of one per cent. per annum. This, .as might be supposed, caused a serious declension in the price of those securities in the . London Stock Exchange, which were previously depressed by the rumour that the return to the shareholders would be very small. At the commencement tif business this morning the decline became rapid, and the quotations ultimately receded to the extent of from 4to 5 per cent. This unsatisfactory movement, combined with the heaviness of the Funds, produced a decline in tha value of at other railway shares. The Caledonian 'dropped.4 l to 4, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Blackwi2ll, North Western, South Western, Norfolk and Sough Eastern, and Eastern Counties each to 1, while the Brighton and Midland were about 11 lower. In the colonial shares very few purchases were effected, but Great Western of Canada, Great Indian Peninsula, and Ceylon were tolerably steady. East Indian, however, wore rather flatter. French shares were exceedingly dull, the only bargains officially recorded being in Eastern of France at 271, in Great Luxembourg at 71. and in' Paris and Lyons at 361 • The following are the closing prices in this market :—Ambargate, Nottingham, Boston; and Eastern Junction 5:1, 51; Bristol and Exeter 89, 91 ; Caledonian 771, 78 ; Chrs'er and Holyhead 35k, 36L; Eastern Counties 14, 111; East Lanca shire 9 4, 1 96 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow 62, 63 ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee 33i, 34k; Great Northern 971, 981 ; Great Southern and Western (Ireland) 102, 104 ; Great Western 551, 561 ; Lan caster and Carlisle 70, 74; Lancashire and York. shire 98, 981; London, Brighton, and South Coast 104, 106 ex d ; London and North Western 1021„ 1021 ; London and South Western 97, 98 ; Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire 40, 42 ex d; Midland 831, 84 ; Ditto Birmingham and Derby 551, 561 ; Norfolk 63, 65 ; North British 46, 47 ; North Eastern—Berwick 94, 95 ; North Stafford.. shire 41 44- d x d ; Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton 32. 31; Scottish Central 104, 106 ; Ditto Midland 69, 71; South Eastern 73, 74; South Wales 90, 92. We borrow the following from the Mining Journal of to-day : There was a good rise in the standard for copper cres last week, and another expected this week, in consequence of which we had more doing in copper mines than for some time past, and several shares which have been greatly depressed show symptoms of rallying. Tin mines are still in the ascendant as regards price, and there is a good demand for Shares. Lead mines are also looking up, and shares in those paying dividends difficult to get. There is au uneasy feeling abroad in regard to the money market, but we do not apprehend that the mining market will be mach affected, so long as metals continue to rise, or even keep at the present standard. Two or three speculative mines, in which a large business had previously been doing, have been flat this week, and shares being more offered, prices have receded. Our Leeds advices inform us that during the past week the attendance of buyers has been rather limited, and the demand for home con sumption had rather fallen off, but for exportation there was still a fair inquiry for all descriptions of piece goods at about former rates. At Bradford there had been a good inquiry for goods suitable to the winter trade, and rather higher prices had been realised. Business at Manchester had not been quite so active, but prices for all descriptions of heavy goods were firm. There was a very limited inquiry for cloths suitable to the India markets, and prices ruled heavy. The accounts from Leicester mention that most of the mills were in full work, and the demand for all descriptions of winter goods was exeeedingly brisk. The average price of brown or Muscovado Sugar, the produce of the British possessions in America, for the week ending August 4, is 41s 61 per cwt. exclusive of duty. The average price of brown or _ _ Muscovado Sugar, the pro itice of the Mauritius, for the week ending as above, is 34s 4-Id. No return has been made of the sale of brown or Muscovado Sugar, the produce of the East Indies. The average price of the two foregoing descriptions of sugar, jointly, computed as above, and exclusive of duty, is 41s 31d per cwt. The 1 ondon Produce Markets are thus reported in one of the weekly circulars issued in that city to-day : There is still heaviness inmost of the Colonial markets, and for some kinds of produce lower prices are current. The demand for Sugar continues on a small scale, and the s Iles made show a decline. of ls to 23 per cwt. excepting for fine grocery sorts. Coffee has a downward tendency. The plantation kinds of Ceylon - are offering on lower terms. The Dutch Trading Company have declared their autumn sues to commence on the 31st inst., to consist of . 555,913 bags, agaiast 656,940 bags last year. A good business has been rausacted in Rice, at a rise of 31 to 6 d per cwt. _ In Saltpetre the sales made are at is to 25 ad vance. The Spice sales of the Dutch Trading Company are declared tor the 16th proximo. The Tea Market during the week has been quiet. With reference to the Silk Market, Mr. Henry W. Eaton reports as follows : The Silk Market during July has continued dragging and unsatisfactory, with, however, little marked alteration in prices, every one for the moment preferring to supply their immediate wants at present rates to buying largely, even at a reduction.. The deliveries, it will be seen, are, notwithstanding, very large. In Chinas there have been a few sales of best Tsatlees from 26s 6d to 28s 6d, and an improved inquiry for the lo west descriptions of Taysaatn flora 17s to 17s 6J, which latter realty appear cheap as compared with other things. The recent accounts from China to the end of May report the seasons of 1856-57 as nearly doted, and the total settlements to be 87,700 bales, of which about 87,200 had been shipped. Of these 7,000 bales are still afloat. The 'appearances of the approaching crop were must tavoUraOle, 00W as to quantiv and duality. Prices had fallen during the last fortnight. In Bengal silk the position is unaltered, and but very little doing. In Italian silk scarcely a transaction has taken place; a few bales of the new silk from most of the best filatures have been received, but the prices asked entirely preclude business. Brutias and Persians are without change, the stocks of both being small. Of the gold ex the Arago that reached London, the whole has been taking for exportation to the Continent, in payment for silver. Of the 342,0001. in Australian gold ex the Swiftsure, which reached London yesterday, a portion has been sold for the Continent. Some amount will probably be sent into the Bank on Monday. The remittance of specie destined for Havre, and brought by the Arago, amounted to 32,2001., being considerably less than the amount before stated. The arrival is announced to-day of the Queen Victoria, from Melbourne; the St. Michael, from Adelaide ; and the Aurora Australis, from Hobart Town ; but neither of these vessels is known to have any gold on freight, and the dates are old. The bar silver brought by the steamer Parana, from the West Indies and Mexico, was sold yesterday for the East at 5s 2d per oz. standard. The price is higher than that realised for the supply by the previous packet, but in the interim fully 5s 2d has Bien paid. The dollars by the Parana remain on sale. The following steamers and clipper ships have been taken up to proceed to India with troops, &c. The screw steamer City of Manchester, belonging to the Liverpool and Philadelphia line ; the scre w steamer Khersonese, belonging to the Halifax and Portland line; and the steam-ship Bombay Castle; the clipper ship Lightning, one of the 13,104 Ball , line of Australian packets ; the Waterloo, Soagmor, and Southampton. The London Wool sales which commenced on the 16th ultimo still continue, and are to terminate on the 26th instant. The quantity to be disposed of comprises 95,000 bales, 16,000 Sydney, 27,000 Victoria, 7,000 Tasmania,.•lo,ooo Adelaide, 5,000 New Zealand, 1,500 Swan River, and 6,000 East India. The estimated value of the lot being-about 3,0b0,000/. The demand is good, foreigners supply ng themselves freely, and the prices realised so far are 11. to 21. above the currency of the iNlay sales. We have advices from B.rdeaux to the 5.h instant* hich inform us that the large carpet, tapestry, and wool spinners works in that city continue very active, though the weather kept exceedingly h)t, and all the people that can go out have deserted the city for the sea side, same as New Orleans. At tile fever season our people get off to the Pyrenees as much as possible. I enjoy the heat, and keep working at the desk, &c., to the surprise of the natives, Ivho are most of English extraction, and the immense paper mills here, burnt down a few years back, belong to an English company—a very old and respectable establishment, and goes by - the name of the " English Mills"—from an ancient date. We have two ships, of 400 tons each, loading for Melbourne and Sydney -7-one called the Bordeaux, the other the Bernare; advertised to sail on the 20th inst., the other the 31st August. They may be detained a few days longer, if ordered for the English account charter. Letters from Trieste, dated August Ist., state— The last truck of railway placing that p)rt in direct commaaication with Vienna, has been within the last few days Virown open to the public for the conveyance of pas sengers. Trains fur goods are expected to run regularly towards the end of this month, when there may confidently be anticipated a pretty genaral revival in business, which has recently been rather in a state of calm, owing, perhaps, in a great measure, to the very fact of increased facilit f of tr.niport being near at hand. This great desideratum, in junction with the favourable position of this port for all commercial purposes, hold out good prospEcfs fer the future, likely to lead to the gradual development of an improved era in the trade of this emporium. Sugars, raw and re fired : The decline established in the value of this sweet in all the chief Northern markets, and waiting the result of the recent Dutch public sale•, have likewise exercised their influence on this side, the transactions confined to meet the consumption. Coffee, no business of any particular note. Wheat, Grain, pulse, and Seeds, in complete °rim. Prices marked lower. Sheep's Wool of the new clip : Few par cels came forward ; sales, 1,000 bales; Bosnia, DAlrnatia, Odessa, Scutari, Volo, Wiisalangbi, Albania, &c. Freights to Liverpool, 4s. per qr. for earn.

MARITIME EXTRACTS. Paris August 7.—On the 13th July the Helvetic, DesbAts arrived from Reunion at Bordeaux, saw the hull of a vessel, upon which the sea was breaking, and sent the first mate in a boat to ascertain what she was, and on his return on board he reportel her to be a craft constructed of iron plates. She was capsized, and keel uppermost. VESSELS' REPORTS. Pe , ort of the schooner Susan, Dann, arrived here. , The c .plain a ates that she sailed on the 29th ult. with a cargo of sa t and bricks for Looe, and on the lit inst., at two a.m., be ng about thirty miles W.S.W. of Holyhead, on the starboard t .ck, and s'e rug S. by E., they observed a large sail standing on the same teak. She appeared to near the Susan very fast, and fearing a colli ion, they hailed as loud as they could, but heard no reply. The helm was put a port, but before the vessel came heart to wind, the stranger, which proved to he the ship Silistria, of and from Liver pool for Bombay, ran into the Susan stem on, carrying away both the masts, several stria, hions, rail, and some bulwarks. The master and four hands got on board the ship, over the bows, and asked for a boat to go to their vessel to take off a man that was lett in her. A boat was lowered, and they made for the vessel and took off the man, and saved some of their clothes; but, believing her to be sinking, they returned to the ship, and asked the master to take her in tow for Holyhead. -.He, however, replied, "what the devil were ou doing there? why.clidn% you keep out of the way ?" Captain Dann said they Bad tried all they could, and if he (the m.ster of the eibstraa) had bad a watch on the forecastle, the schooner would have been seen. The master then said, "if I had seen yon, do yon think I was going to put my ship out of the way.for your little thing; you ought to have got out of my way." Eventually the captain of the Silistria consented to take tee schooner in tow, and ran towards her for that purpose, but before reaching her, the steamer Mars, from Waterford, had h r in tow, and the crew were then put on boars the steamer in the Silistria's boat.
