The gentle' man who is placed between the public and a monopoly tells the Rate-payers, whose interest he is bound to protect, that he does not consider the inspection of vouchers any portion of his duty, to which he adds, " I have not deemed it needful to Ithe Recorders - s accounts, as " report t every minute " detail of receipts and expenditure. it would appear that Mr. BELOE From this is one of those who cannot be persuaded that great evils lie in a small compass. Ho has no faith in the theory that rivulets make rivers, and snow balls would become mountains if it were not for the searching rays of the sun. " I have," says Mr. BELOL, limited my enquiries to ascertain how far the various items were fairly charged to -nue, respectively ;" but how this capital and re could be accomplished, or how an audit could be made witho seeing the vouchers for those items, remains for Mr. BELOE to explain. If he has taken all the Company have told him for granted, why a reporter from our office could have made out quite as good a statement : and we very much regret that the Borough Auditor should have taken upon himself to say, that " any immediate further reduc• " tion in the price gas can scarcely be antici 'elating to minute details' " pated," when th. the cost of its production are withheld from the public It is from the details of receipts and expenditure alone that the consumer can form a correct opinion, and it is the first duty of an Auditor to see that the sums charged against his clients have been actually paid, and that there are no overcharges in any of the items which compose the lump sums. Mr. BELOE thinks otherwise, and his report is, therefore, not worth a straw to the consumer, although it may improve the value of the Company's stock. To those, however, who know something of gas accounts, Mr. BELOE'S review of the present con dition and future prospects of the Liverpool Gas Company will be a valuable episode. The artist is never so successful as when he leaves no track after him for his ruthless pursuers. And to all who keep Gas accounts beyond the comprehension of vulgar minds, we would recommend Mr. BELOE'S statement as their 'Jade mecum It would puzzle any consumer. It bothered us at the fi But we see through it now. It appears t". - : Itte Company gained in consump Nft THE tion, by the late reduction from 4s 6d to 4s, just 39,000,000 cubic feet This quuntit, was made, after allowing for th alleged advance in the price >f coal, for about 5,000/. Now, 39,000,000 feet, at 4s the 1 ; 000 feet, would have returned the Com pany, without deducting leakage, 7,8001, To this we have to add, for tar and coke, as shown in the increases of the year, 2181., which makes the total receipts for the additional quantity manufactured 8,018/. ; and this would leave a profit of no less than 3,0181 on the 39,000,000 feet These are most important facts, because they prove, according to Mr. BELOE'S own figures, that increased consumption would enable the Company to make an " immediate further" reduction in the price of light. But then oar Auditor would, in defence of his allegation, tcll us to look at the general disbursements and current expenses of management We do so, and we find in the cost of coal for the year 1855, as compared with 1854, an increase of 5,3251.; carbonising 1,6501., purifying 2131., general expenses 3,6301, making a total of 11,8181. In this way the Com pany are made to appear to be losers to the extent of 3,8001. by their increased consurnptior. we deduct the But if increase in the cost of neral management" from the total received for 39,000,000 feet of gas, and residuary products, we shallfind the Company have made a profit of 2181. on the 5,0001. spent in supplying the increased demand, after allowing all the heavy charges for carbonising, purifying, &c., to pass without being vouched in the ordinary course of auditing. It is also satisfactory to find that for the second quarter of the reduction in price, the income shows an increase of 5761., and on the year an augmentation of no less than 3,8581. This proves what may be done by lowering the cost of light to consumers. Still we must not be too sanguine. Mr BELOE tells us that the result of the " reduc " tion for the half-year ending June, 1855, as " shown in a previous part of this report, and not withstanding an increased consumption during that " period of 39,000,000 of feet, the result in cash was " an increase of less than 6001., whereas the increased " cost of production will, it is feared, more than " counterbalance the increased receipts. What ! has the difference of 39,000,000 feet of gas, at 4s, been reduced to 600/. by leakage or other defects in the manufacture and distribution ? If it has, there is indeed an end to all our hopes of cheap gas. If the Company can only realise 6001. cash for the sale of every 39,000,000 feet they make, the shareholders will soon have cause to lament their fate. There is evidently some glaring discrepancy in this portion of the statement of the Borough Auditor, and until it has been explained, we shall cling to our conviction that the cheaper gas is made the greater he consumption and dividends of the manufac be. The other rich and rare passages in the report before us we must leave for a future day. Meanwhile, we congratulate the Gas Directors and their numerous customers on the manifest success which has marked the first six months of the cheap light movement Gas is not cheap yet, hut we are convinced that we shall yet see Liverpool lighted at as moderate a price as any town in the three kingdoms. The present accounts are very curious, but remarkably encouraging, when carefully sifted, and have a positive tendency to inspire the Gas Reformer with fresh zeal and confidence. ) turers will UPWARDS of three weeks ago the Master of the Rolls called on the Government, as directly as he could in his official capacity, to prosecute JonN SADLEIR'S partners for conspiracy and fraud. Yet nothing whatever has been done, and the Irish newspapers say that " JAMES SADLEIR is still at " large, and is afforded every facility for evading " the penalty due to his offence ; and it is probable " he is at this moment on his way to some secure " retreat for swindlers." "It may be," adds the Leinster Express, "that during some of Mr. SAD- " LEER'S private examinations respecting the affairs " of the bank he may have been permitted to pave " the way to immunity through some of the numer " ons channels in which the pursuit of justice is so often defeated." This is bringing the legal morality of the age to rather a low level. Justice must, indeed, have forsaken the land, if one set of bankers are to be imprisoned and punished with the utmost rigour, and another nest of unscrupul ous rogues allowed to get off without the least inflic tion. PAUL, STRAHAN, and BATES were universally cried down, and justly so, by the Press, and the public prosecutors were ready to do their duty. But there is no man to be found to grapple with the delinquencies of the associates of a deceased junior Lord of the Treasury. Should any banker attain that high office at any future period, it will not add much to his credit in the mercantile world. His elevation to the treasury benches will be looked upon as a prelude to a smash, and a protection against the punish ment awarded to wholesale plunder, and we scarcely know which would be the most degraded— the office, or the fugitive forger. But, trifling with the impartial administration of the criminal law, such as we have witnessed in this case, cannot he passed over in silence. If Mr. JAMES SADLEIR has anything to let the public know, the accused should have the benefit of it, but, let us have no more " private examinations." and no more time allowed for guilty partners to escape. There may be several other names besides SADLEIres, implicated in this monster swindle ; but, it matters not, who or what they are, they ought to he brought to trial on the evidence now in the hands of the Irish Court of Chancery. The letter read by the Master of the Rolls on the day he gave his decision in favour of the English shareholders, is quite sufficient to justify the Government's taking upon itself the responsibility of a criminal prosecution. The Master of the Rolls might, we think, have ordered the parties suspected of fraud and con spiracy in any case before his court, into custody. The creditors must have been sufferers by the fraudulent acts of those whose conduct the Master impugned, and they ought to have been given into custody the moment those frauds were satisfactorily proven. As this was not done, where will Mr. JAMES SADLEIR, and the surviving con t'ederates he may have had, be found ? It would be unreasonable to suppose that a man against whom such serious charges have been publicly brought has not made ample use of the impunity allowed him, and it will, no doubt, be seen, that if Mr. JAMES SADLEIR should be called for at a future day, when the heat of public indignation has passed away, that our Irish cotemporary's surmise as to his having taken flight will prove to be correct. Men generally make the most of their time under such awkward circumstances, and we hope we shall not have to apply the proverb in this case, anct say, " the judge is culpable when the " guilty escape." When JOHN SADLEIR'S letters to " Dear JAMES," and the telegraphic messages of the deceased to his brother were first discovered, there was no room left for doubting the existence of a wide-spread conspiracy, and every part ner of JOIiN SADLEIR'S ;;ought to have .been NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. This was not done, and the commercial community will be curious to hear the arrested at one t of this romance in the annals of aggravated crime MONETARY AND CO I\ LITERPOOL, TUESDAY ENING There has again been a very buoyant feeling in the Liverpool Cotton Market, and notwithstanding this was market day in Manchester, a large busi ness has been done, the sales reaching 10,000 bales, of which about 3,500 were taken for specula tion and export. The supply continues tolerably free, but prices are in favour of the seller. There has again been a good business done in shares. The market opEned firm at yesterday's closing prices, and gradually improved throut;lu - mt the day, closing firm nt its best, as under : 17 to 10 19.

FASHIONABLE DEPARTURE.—Yes t erday morning his Excellency, Signor Don Jose Marco!era, left the Queen's Hotel, for fond n. His Excellency arrived here on Sunday from America. He is minister to the clurt of Saint James, from Guatemala. He stopped at the Queen's Hotel, and on Monday, in company with his interpreter, Don Francisco Tomes°, visited the "lions" of the town, and a!so theDiorarna of the Overland Route to India, with which he expressed himself much pleased. ROSCOE LITERARY SOCIETY.—This society still continues in a fl urishing condition. As last Wednesday evening closed the session, the president, Mr. J. Fennel, de livered a very able address to the memb?rs, in which he congritulated them on the present prosperous state of the society. The opportunity was taken to present Mr, E. E. H 7den with a handsome writing desk, as a slight acknow ledgtnent of his valuabla services as secretary for a lengthened period. The society commerce their meetings on the Ist September next. CHARGE or BIGAMY —Yesterday, at the morning sitting of the nonce court, a sailor, named John L-ah, was charged with bigamy. The evidence was not ready, and the priso ner was remanded. It appeared, however, that the prisoner admitted having two wives living, but said as he did not e his first wife for five years, he thought he might marry again. He was about to take a third wife, when the father of the young lady discovered that he had two already living, and, not being a Turk, he gave the information which led to the arrest of the prisoner. THE TOXTETH BOARD —At the monthly meeting of the commissioners held yesterday, Mr. Greigson, the chairman, tendered his resignation as a member of the board. From the valuable services that gentleman has rendered to the district since he has held a seat at the board—his business habits and his untiring exertions—we have no doubt but that the ratepayers, as well as the commissioners, will regret his having been compelled to adopt such a course. Mr. Rowlands, the clerk, also tendered his resignation at the same meeting, which was accepted. THE LATE MURDEROUS ASSAULT IN DENISON-STREET.— Henry links, the poor fellow who was so dangerously stabbed in Denison-street, an account of which appeared in our paper of Monday, lies in an almost hopeless state at the Northern 1.10 - ipital. The surgeons considered him so bad yesterday, that Mr. Bolton, one of the police magis trates attended at the hospital, and along with Mr. Tasker, one of the clerks from the police-court, took the wounded man's depositions. The facts have already been published. Yesterday evening at seven o'clock the patient was pro nounced very bad. Slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. - - THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF OIIDE.—The Calcutta Englishman, chronicling the arrival of the ex-King of Oude and the Queen Dowager his mother, adds : " The good lady, who appears to possess the energy which her son wants, declares her intention of going to England, and being asked how that would be compatible with the dignity of a lady of her exalted rank, replied, that she did not care what people said, so long as they could not justly reproach her with any misconduct. She considers, that without her presence, the King will fall into the hands of bad advisers, and that she is determined to prevent. She means to face Lord Dalhousie at the foot of the throne." ()ALLSTON LOCAL BOARD OF IIZALTIL—The usual monthly meeting of this body was held at half-past fonr o'clock yesterday, in the Aigburth Hotel, Aigburth, Mr. Cooper in the chair. Other members present—Messrs. Chaloner, Chidson, Pritt, Watts, and Morris. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. On the proceedings of the works' committee being brought up, a c)nversation took place in reference to improving the road between the Gar ton Hotel and St. Mary's Church, and it was ultimately agreed to defer the consideration of the matter until the next meeting. In accordance with a previous resolution of the board, a general district rate of 5d in the pound, and a highway rate of 9d in the pound, were signed. This concluded the general business. MR. BRIGHT, M.P.—This gentleman has been sojourning in Inverness, at the Union Hotel, for a few days. His health, though improved, is still delicate and uncertain; and, ac ing upon the advice of his physicians, he refrains as much as possible from reading and writing. He went on Tuesday to Nairn, intending to proceed by easy stages to Ah,yne, in Aberdeenshire, angling in the Findhorn and other rivers by the way. At Nairn, however, Mr. Bright felt himself so much better as to be able to stand a journey further north. He accordingly returned to the Union Hotel, Inverness, on Wednesday night; and, this day (Thursday), ho set out for Sutherlandshire. The Earl of Ellesmere, we understand, has offered his iod2e, at Lairg, for the accommodation of Mr. Bright.—lnverness Courier. THE WA GES MOVEMENTT AT PR7STON. —As we an nounced, in our M ,ndaYs impressi ,n, the deputation who waited upon their employers, in reference to an advance of wages, equal to ab , ut 10 per cent. upon their present earnings, attended a meeting of the local committee, held at the Farmers' Arms Inn, on Monday night, and report >d the result of their interview. It was as follows:--That the whole f the manufacturers, with one or two exception., agreed to make an advance, provided any general arrange ment to that effect were entered into by the associated masters. This declaration was received with enthusiasm by the meeting. The commi tee next entertained the question of settling the present dispute by arbitration, and, after a lengthened discussion, it was resolved, "That a deputation wait upon Mr. Bashall, to ascertain whether he would agree to the settlement of the dispute between himself and his operative spinners, now on strike, by arbitration ;" and that "The deputation wait upon Mr. Bashall during the forenoon of to-day (Wednesday), and report the issue of their interview at a general meeting of the association, to be held on Sunday next. - PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.—The usual monthly meeting of this society was held at eight o'clock last night, in the royal institution, Colquitt street, Mr. Corey in the chair. Oa the motion of Mr. Forrest, seconded by Mr. Newlands, Mr. John M‘Nicol, and Mr. Hickson, were elected mem bers of the society. The chairman drew the attention of the society to a work now being published, entitled " Pho tographic Portraits of Living Celebrities." The plates alcomnanying the specimen number were faultless. Mr. Hooper exhibited some very beautiful views taken after the process of M. Teaupenot. Some very excellent specimens of the wax-paper process were exhibited by Mt. Jones. They included several local views. The ohair-nan observed that those views showed the uses to which photography could be applied. There was no old locality, or ancient monument, the memory of which could not be truthfully preserved by such means, and he regretted that it bad not been more generally availEd of for that purpose in Liver pool. Mr Newlands remarked that local views were new largely taken to that end. Mr. Newlands took the chair, and Mr. Corey proceeded to describe his photographic tint, a certain means of taking accurate pictures out of doors. CORONER'S INQUESrS.—Yesterday the coroner held the following inquests :—On the body of a man, name unknown, who had the appearance of a sailor, but there was nothing to lead to his identification. The body was found in the river, near the landing stage, and the only evidence pro duced was as to the finding of the body, and the jury returned a verdict of found drowned.—On the body of another man, name unknown, that was found floating in the Bramley-Moore Dock. This case was precisely similar to the above, and a like verdict was returned.-0a the body of Archibald Campbell, aged 50, a respectable compositor, engaged on the Journal. On Saturday week the deceased was crossing the end of South John-street, next Lord-street, and when trying to avoid a lorry, he was knocked down, and run over by a spring cart, and received such injuries that he died. There did not appear to be any culpable blame attached to any one, and the jury found a verdict of accidental death.—On the body of John Shaw, aged 18, who was a sailor on board the ship Lucy Thompson. The deceased was in the rigging, and whilst engaged at somr, duty he fell down, and was killed. The unfortunate affair was purely accidental. Ver;lict accord ingly. _ ST. SILAS' WORKING MENS' ASSOCIATION,—The annual excursion of this well conducted and useful association took place on Monday last, when upwards of 120 of the memb ers enjoyed a trip to Eistham, where gymnastic games and pleaslnt walk in the hotel gardens, and the adjacent localt 't appointedori a amusements,.fr th e t e and p a filled h na had ( I; c ra k, the til took of an excellent supply of the b everage, and the attahisresree:vmi interval e le r afforded d vaA i l n t u t na h t g eao e n'lled'll room of the hotel gar d ens, and par grod things usually attendant on such a repast. The substantial portion of the entertainment having been done full justice to, the Rev. S. Minton, the incumbent of St. Silas' church, took the chair, and after an admirable opening address, distributed. the prizes (given by some liberal but unknown friend of the institution), which had been allotted to the writers of a prize essay. After the close of this pleasing ceremonial, the meeting was addressed most ably and effectually by several working men, members of the association, among whom may he mention3d—!,Tes3rs. APlcenzie, Irvin, Haines, Stephen, :ks , n, Lake, Clarke, Alford, Ardring, Last, Stoate, Blake, and Penlington. Some excellent singing, by amateurs, made, and finally formed, an attractive feature of the entertainment, which was one of unalloyed pleasure, and perfect satisfaction. A vote of thanks was justly awarded to the rev, chairman, and, after singing the National Anliv , m, the happy party re-embarked for Liveipool, w beFe they arrived i n sa f e t y , an d w i thout any incident tending In the least to mar the day's enjoyments: THE COURT The Queen, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, and attended by the Duchess of Atholl and Lord Charles Fitzroy, visited the Duchess of Gloucester on Monday, at Gloucester House. The Prince Consort went to Hyde park on Monday morning, attended by Captain the Hon. D. de Ros, and was present at a field-day of the Ist Bat talion Grenadier Guards, and afterwards, attended by Major-general the Hon. Charles Grey, went to Marlbo rough House. In the afternoon Prince Albert presided at a meeting of the Royal Commission Patriotic Fund. The Commissioners present were the Earl of Hard vvicke, Lord Panmure, Lord Colchester, the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, the Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, the Hon. Colonel Lindsay, Sir John Burgoyne, Sir Hew Rose, and Mr. J. Ball, M.P. The hon. secretaries attended. The meeting broke up at five o'clock. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Royal, and attended by the Hon. Flora Macdonald, took a drive in an open landau and four in the afternoon. Her Majesty had a dinner party The company included the Duchess of in the evening. he Earl of Harrowby, the Austrian Minister and the Count , ss d'Appony, Lord and Lady Rokeby, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Right Hon. Sir Benjamin and Lady Hall, Right. Hon. Edward Horsman, and Colonel Ridley (Grenadier Guards.) DEPARTURE OF LORD LYONS FOR HIS STATION.—His Lordship took his departure for the Mediterranean on Saturday las THE KING OF THE BELGIANS.—WO learn from Dover that his Majesty the King of the Belgians was expected to arrive at that port, at about 2 p.m. yesterday, from Ostend. The Lawrence, Captain Salmon, from Melbourne, arrived at Madras, reports the Earl of Sefton and the Oliver Lang, as having arrived out at Melbourne from Liverpool, previous to April the Bth. ACCIDENT TO LORD ST. LEONARDS.—We are sorry to learn that Lord St. Leonards has been confined to his room for the last ten days, by a severe accident to his left foot, on his way to the House of Lords. He is pro gressing favourably, but will not be able to leave the house for some time. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA.—The Canadian ministry, notwithstanding a fierce opposition ; have car ried their resolutions iu aid of the Grand Trunk Railway. Instead of issuing more provincial bonds as a first charge on the revenue of the line, the province subscribes one million to share capital, spread over five years. Permis sive power is granted to the company to raise two millions in aid of other independent companies ; but this part of the scheme is not compulsory. THE AMERICAN QUESTION.—Last night the House of Commons pronounced a decision upon Mr. Moore's reso— lution condemnatory of Ministers with reference to the infraction of the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act. It was anticipated that as the resolution was doggedly persisted in by the hon. member for Mayo, the Government would have a large majority, and the result haq justified that anticipatien. It will be seen that Lord Palmerston accepted the motion as a vote of censure upon the Administration, and challenged a decision on that issue. The numbers disclosed by the division were 80 for the resolution to 274 against it, giving a majority of 194 votes in favour of the Government. THE GUARDS FROM THE ,CRIMEA.—The Grenadier Guards, whose arrival at Spithead we announced yester day, were to land this morning and proceed at noon to Aldorshott. They number 1,116 of :all ranks, and are under the command of Colonel the Hon. A. F. Foley. The Scots Fusilier Guards, in H.M.S. Princess Royal, were passed on the 26th, a few miles S.W. of Lisbon. and they will in all probability arrive at Spithead in the course of to-day. In that event, the public entry of the guards will take place on Friday. The whole of the famous Light Division, besides the brigade of Guards, will be at Alder shot in the course of a few days, acid the public will have several opportunities of witnessing their fine appearance under arms. FINAL APPEARANCE OF JENNY LIND. —This unrivalled artiste took her leave of the English public on Monday evening, at Exeter Hall, which was crowded to excess. The fair ♦ocalist even surpassed herself on the occasion, the closing scene of which, is thus described by an eye witness :—The regret felt at pining was not all o❑ one side, and the slight tremulousness which imparted an additional charm to those soft and just audible tones at the end of the " Echo Song " came from the heart of the singer, and meant something more than a simple expedient resorted to for the purpose of effect. Of one thing we are certain—the last notes of Jenny Lind will not very soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to hear them. They represented the final greeting of one who has rather been idolised, than courted as an ordinary public favourite, and were listened to with an interest little short of painful. To pourtray the scene that ensued is not easy. The audience rose as one, applauding, cheering, and waving hats and handker chiefs, with an enthusiasm that d(fies description. The object of this extraordinary ovation—in which the ladies were quite as earnest as the . gentlemen —was at length so moved by it that she caught the infection from her admirers, and waved her own handkerchief, first to the audience, and then to the orchestra, with a heartiness that left little doubt of her emotion. When she had gone she was called back again, and the scene repeated. The end was thus worthy of the beginning. Jenny Lind won the favour of the English public from the first, and retained it undiminished to the last, which recent events have proved ; and, as we take it for granted that few can be indifferent to what immediately concerns the welfare of one who—not merely by rare gifts, but by good works— has attained such distinction, we are glad of this oppor tunity to assure our readers that Madame Jenny Lind Goldscbmidt retires from public life to devote herself to a home which is now, and has been since she was first married, one of unclouded happiness. FATAL ACCIDENT. —Yesterday a porter named Samue l Dogrel!, one of the recently employed hands at the Wapping Station, of the London and North Western Railway, was killed at that station. An inquest will be held on the body thi4 day. _ _ SERIOUS ACCIDENN.--.1 man named Bradbury Wall, who was employed at the Waterlog station of the London and North Western railway, fell off a stage at the station, and was dangerously injured in the head. He lies at pre sent in a precarious auto at the Northern Hospital. George M•Xey, a labourer, who was working at the ship George Weald: gton, in one of the docks, fell into the hold yester day, and received a serious scalp 'wound, with concussion of the blck, and he is also au inmate of the hospital, and at present is in a serious state. William A nsworth, a labourer, who was employed at a new building in Love-lane, fell from a scaffolding yesterday, and was injured by a serious con tusion in the back. He is at present in the Northern hospital. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE PRESTON AND LONGRIDGE RAILWAY.—At about half-past five o'clock on Monday evening an accident occurred on the Preston and Longridge Railway, by which a man, named James Carter alias Water Jem, and a horse, were killed. Carter was in the employ of Mr. George Clarkson, contractor, of South Meadow, Preston, and had the managament of a horse and cart. On the day in question he was engaged in carting some bricks to the Peel Hall estate, near Preston, and in so doing had to cross the above line, at a few hundred yards from within the Preston station. During the day he had several times crossed the line safely, but at the time named, while so engaged, and jast as he had partially succeeded, he observed a train rapidly approaching, and while attempting to drag or turn t he horse from the line, the engine came up, struck the horse in the aide, and, knocking it and its driver upon the line, pawed over them, killing them almost instan taneously. They were a!terwards removed, and the deceased was conveyed to the railway station, where his mutilated now awaits the coroner's inqui-ition. He was about sixty years of age, and has left a wife and family. The railway, at the point where the accident took place, is slightly curved, and is fenced with high br'ck walk, which are attached to large cotton mills, situated on each side of the line ; consequently any person crossing the railway at this place is i equired to devote more than ordin ar y care . The shock severed the animal from the cart; but besides the damage stated above no other material injury was i n fli c t e d, all the passengers coming off uninjured. Yestmlay after • noon an inquest was held on view of the body, before Mr. M. Myres, coroner, and a 'verdict of accidental death returned. The horse was valued at about £2O.

In the Manchester Goods Market there has been considerable activity to day, and a further advance in prices was easily established both for goods and yarns. _ _ The following is a statement of traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, by passen aer and goods trains, for the week ending 13th of June, 1856, and for the corresponding period last year :—Week ending 13th June, 1856, total receipts, 10,6081 13s 10d ; per mile per week, 37110 s Week ending 15th June, 1855, total receipts, 7.648/ is 2d ; per mile per week, 311155.

We have advices from Akyab to the 6th of May, and quote the following trade report from the Circular of Messrs. Wienholt, Mohr, and Co. : Since our last report of the 24th ultimo, but two vessels have arrived; of the ships in port, the Margarrtha Simouetha, 787 tons, Victor, 486 tons, and Superior, 456 tons, are not likely to be loaded in consequence of dispute. about the respective charters. The tonnage of the remaining ships amount to about 5,000 tons, for which about 2,500 tons of cargo have been provided. The clear ances of this month, therefire, are not likely to reach beyond 10,666 tons, against 33,749 tons last year in May; the total. exports of the last five seasons, from the Ist of November to the 31st of 'May, sums up as follows : —1851.2, 83.937 tons ; 1852 3, 101,270 tons; 1853-4, 84 014 tons ; 1854-5, 150,226 tons ; 1855.6, 148,273 tons ; or, deducting what has been shipped to the Straits, China, and the Coast, the exports to Europe only during the same periods Pre-1851 2, 44,965 ton: ; 1852.3, 65,181 tons ; 1852-4, 84.014 tons ; 1854-5, 150,226 tons ; 1855 6, 143,187 tons. Arrivals of rice have been on such a reduced scale as not even to satisfy the demand for the few vessels in port, and another steady rie of prices has been the consecpence ; since the 2nd inst. prices ruled as follows .—From 25th to 27th April, 78 to 79 Ts. (84. 101 d. to 94. f.o.b. per cwt.) 28th to 29th, 80 rs. 30th April to 3r..1 May, 82 is. (9s. 5d.), and from the 4th May to date 82 rs. to 83 rs. (9s. sd. to 9s. 6d per cwt. f.o.b ) The natives have left off unhusk - the paddy, and shippers will have great difficulty i❑ filling the few ships remaining. For vessels still arriving no a!ternative will be left them but to provide in ballast to other ports. It cannot be doubted that large stocks of paddy remain in the interior, these however cannot be converted into rice until the return of the C , ,0l ies (labourers) in September or October, when the fine weather sets in again. The enormous losses which, with very few exceptions most of this season's shipments will entail, together with the low prices for all sorts of breadstuffs, which peace will carry in its wake, will debar even the most sanguine and enterprising frsm enter ing into our trade to any considerable extent; an,' we, therefore, look for a very inactive and dull season.

Intelligence from Paris states that the agitation in the Legislative Assembly against the modifica tions in the Customs' tariff continues, and it is said that the arguments of the opposition are egotistical and illiberal, and tending to sacrifice the public good to their own private ends. Under these circumstances it is supposed that the govern ment will content themselves, this session, with a vote on the open question of the principle of abolishing prohibitory duties, and leave the details of altering the tariff on the principle of free trade until next year. The Bank of France this day pays a dividend of 1371 r. for the half year. This is about 15fr. or 20fr. more than in the previous six mouths. Accounts from Havre to the close of last week report great steadiness in commercial affairs. The prices of cotton continued firm, with some large sales during the week. Sugar was in demand, and the feeling generally was that there would be a rise in the markets this season throughout Europe. Notwithstanding the increase in the number of manufactories of sugar from beetroot in France, the demand keeps pace with the supply, and it is calculated that in the event of a scarcity of colonial sugars, there would not be a very large export from thence unless at exhorbitant prices. The deposit of sugar in the government stores was 84,000,000 kilos, being 39,000,000 kilos more than at the same period last year. The weekly commercial report from Antwerp, states that during the past week, business generally has been quiet, and prices have been fully main tained. In coffee the chief transactions were for home consumption, 351 c per kilo for good quali ties, and 27 to 283 e for lower kinds, The stocks on hand comprised 28,000 bags St. Domingo, and 33,500 do Brazils. The sugar market was firm, with a slight advance in prices, 191 florins per 50 kilos for Havana, to 211 florins for raw sugars; and refined do. was much in demand. The grain market was steady with an upward movement in wheat and rye, at 174 to 19 florins for English wheat per 80 kilos, and 103 to 11 florins for ditto rye. _ _ The Colonial Wool Market is rather dull, owing to the increased supply recently received from the Austradan colonies. Another series of public sales is fixed for the 17th inst , when it is expected 60,000 or 65,000 bales will be offered, most of which has already arrived The London Dock Company had their half yearly meeting to-day. The report stated that the number of bonded ships which entered in the half year was 524, measuring 206,212 tons, and the earnings, 260,2821 is Bd. After paying the dividend now recommended of 2/ lOs per cent for the half year, free of income tax, a balance would remain in favour of the company of 153,8751.

The latest accounts which have reached us from St. Petersburg describe the inundations there to have been very inconsiderable. Prince Menschikoff, who has been staying for some time in St. Petersburg, whither he was sum- moned from his summer residence near Moscow by the Grand Duke Constantine, is expected to leave there shortly by steamer for Germany ; but what the ohj3ct of the journey is cannot he exrlained anywhere. It appears to be the Emperor's wish to have all the notabilities of the late war around him at his approaching coronation ; to General Mouravieff he has addressed an autograph letter, inviting him to come to Moscow to be present at the ceremony. THE ITALIAN STATES Letters from Turin, dated the 27th ult , mention that the affairs of Parma continue so veiled in mist, in consequence of the fear which people have there of consigning their thoughts for transmission to the post office, that all that can be asserted with safety at this hour is, that the embarrassment ig unabated. The state of brigandage has now beccme so intolerable in the Romagna, that certain communes have determined on petitioning the Roman government on the subject, but accom panying, their petitions with a declaration, that unless the civil power is employed for the protec tion of their lives and property, they will not pay the government taxes. Two most important lines of railway communi cation are said to have been determined on this last week. The first is for the junction of the Lombard and the Piedmontes Railways at the Bridge of Buffalora, over the Ticino, near Novara. The other is for a railway through what is called the Luemagno pass, in the Canton of Ticino, so ag to join the Lakes of Constance and Maggiore by rail, and, in fact, connect southern Germany with Genoa by steam communication. The immediate danger of a Concordat between Rome and Tuscany seems to have passed away. AUSTRIA. Advices from Vienna. dated the 27th ult., state that the reports of the damage done by the violent hail storms began to come in from the provinces• The quantity of wheat destroyed in the circle of Saaz, which is one of the most fruitful districts in the province of Bohemia, is said to be enormous• Prince Gortschakoff, who has been a great deal with Count Buol lately, will probably leave, vie Stettin, for St. Petersburg, on Monday, the Mal instant. During the night of the 14th many persons (about 60) were arrested at Florence It is believed that some plot against the life of the Minister Baldasseroni has been discovered. The report that the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Austria will meet in the course of the next month is again le circulation, but nothing positive is known on the subject. TURKEY Intelligence dated from Constantinople, the 29th ultimo, mentions that there has been some disturb' ance among the Polish Legion at Tcheknaedji , owing, it is said, to an unwillingness of the soldiero to enter into Turkish service. Generals Storls o and Zamoysi went down and settled the affair. The railway project from Smyrna to Aidin is at a stand-still. New difficulties have arisen' specially about the privilege to be conceded to tho company to work the coal mines found near tile line, paying only a royalty of 10 per cent. Redschid Pacha left, as he intended, on Mondal the 16th, for Egypt The day before he left 1,50 0 persons came to take leave of him. Lord Gough, on his - returtcirom the Crimea , was introduced to the Sultan by the Ambassador , and left, with General Barnard, (in the Bauchee) on the 17th ult. The Scots Greys, one squadron of the nal Hussars, and 25 horses of the King's Dragooll Guards, embarked today on board the Orinoco , and will leave at two a.m. to-morrow. The° are only the King's Dragoon Guards remaining of all the Cavalry at Scutari; the German Legion at Kululee, the Infantry depot, and some Artillery. Several of the men of war sent out to fetch troop o have arrived, among them the Colossus, James Watt, and the Exmouth. The James Watt hils broke her machinery, and will have to be towed home. THE EVACUATION OF THE CRIMEA.--The Walla Timis contains the following :—By the arrival of her Majesty'. despatch boat Banshee, on the 21st, from Bal , klava: having on board General Lord Gough and statf, and Major -general Sir Wiliam Barnard, we learn that the embarkation of the British army was proceedin g with extraordinary activity, anti that it was believed evof man will have left 'the Russian peninsula before the ist of August.
