The Gov )r-Gen to Toronto, prio: which 1 al had returned isited Montreal, mas present ;iron to the THE Baron de Rottenburg by the officers of the Volun. teer Militia force of Montreal. In the course of his speech, in reply to his health being drunk, he referred to the English alliance with France, it was a union he hoped never to see dis solved, and that as England and Canada formed one body, so he hoped that England and France would stand side by side to defend the liberties of mankind. Dissuading the company that the militia would be used as an engine of political power, he asservated that it was his constant study to keep clear of politics with the force. The services which the steam-ships belonging to the Montreal Ocean Steam Navigation Company have conferred upon the mercantile and trading portion of the Canadian provinces, have induced the Board of Trade at Montreal to memorialise the Government for a weekly line of steamers between Canada and England. The reasons set forth in the memorial will be found at length in our news columns. It may not be amiss, however, to mention that the Indian, consort to the Anglo-Saxon, sails for Quebec to-day, and will carry out answers to the letters brought by the latter ship—so that for the first time the Quebec merchant will have an answer to his letters in about twenty-one days. A line of vessels, so well equipped, and which per forms their passages with such regularity and rapidity, deserve every encouragement and support, and we hail the idea of their sailing weekly with much satisfaction, convinced that beneficial results nust be c nferred thereby on the trading portion 2th just, and Nash's Saleroom, Co] i 37 Barrels partia' On account of whom it ma It. the 12zh inst., at Half-pm change, Brunswick-stre t 8000 Bushels Turkish BARLEY, and s extra super Trieste FLOUR OIVILINSON & SON, Br( Toom, C About 460 Barn ,NCE will buy FIVE QUIRES of SUPERFINE CREAM LAID NOTE HOUSE, and and Canada Whilst there is a total dearth of political infor- all parties are looking anxiously for the most insignificant movement which would indicate what Lord Palmerston and his colleagues intend to do on the meeting of Parliament, the intelligence from most parts of the continent of Europe, &c., cannot fail to interest the attentive reader. Two important facts are related with regard to Russia—the coronation of the Czar, and the evacuation of Kars to our latest advices from Moscow According the former pageant has passed off to the entire satisfaction of all parties interested. The Emperor Alexander has been most enthusiastically received by all classes of his people. His entry into Moscow was more akin to the triumphal processions of ancient Rome, than anything ever seen in these kingdoms. The rushing stream of gold and silver--the immense display of sparkling and costly diamonds—the parade of splendid troops, caparisoned in the most costly style—all convinced the spectator that, no matter what may be the absolute character of his government, the Autocrat of Russia has not an equal among the potentates of the earth—one who can display such pomp, power, magnifi cence, and grandeur. May we hope that the lesson taught to the Emperor Alexander, and his confidential advisers, by the history of the Arai in the Crimea, will induce him, and all in his councils, to learn more of the arts of peace, the and less of the destruc- These advantages of civilisation, tive elemen is of aggression and war )ns call to mind that we have to announce to our readers that Kars has been evacuated by the Russians, who have retired upon Adrianople. The ceremony of surrendering this renowned fortifica tion took place on the 9th of August. According to advices from Constantinople of a late date, three of the English officers attached. to the British com missary with the Turkish army in Asia, Major Stuart, Major Fraser, and Mr. Evans, were present at the surrender, not in their official capacity, but as spec tators. These gentlemen went to Kars before Hussein Pacha and his force, and were received in reflect EIS visitors attention Their stay was celebrated by ft stivals with strew of champagne and numberless toasts, among them that of General Williams, with a salute from the guns of the citadel. As in the Crimea, the Russian officers seem to have been very communicative on past events, especially about the main subject of interest, their unsuccessful attack on Kars. They say that Mouravieff was entirely against an attack, and opposed it to the last moment, in spite of the urgent entreaties of several of his officers. But the troops were so dissatisfiE I at this seeming want of confidence in their leader, that he was in the end obliged to yield, against his own better conviction, and ordered the attack. Neither the failure of the )r the heavy losses sustained seem to have, ;ven for an instant, occasioned the idea of a etreat, and General Mouravieff, when asked in the evening after defeat, what his orders were, is said ) have replied, " Draw in your posts and double When Kars was evacuated the 5,000 men on the territory, under the command of General Kauhloff given over with the usual ceremonies The letter of our special correspondent at Paris, in another column, mentions that, in consequence of the remarks of some of the London papers respecting the Isle of Serpents, many of the Parisians begin to fear that the alliance between France and England is threatened with a rupture. Hopes are entertained that the King of Naples will see fit, ere it is too late, to attend to the remon strances of the allies. The Paris Bourse was quiet yesterday,and closed at 71fr. 15c. for the Three and allalf per Cents. Affairs% in Spain appear to be more unsettled. Madrid advices say, that O'Donnell's tenure of office was fast drawing to a close, and that it was expected Narvaez would once more become the ruling statesman of the country. With the view to maintain his position near the person of the Queen, we are informed that O'Donnell has brought for ward a scheme, authorising a decree to restore to Queen Christina all her property in Spain, upon which sequestration was laid after the revolution of 1854. In this project the measure is declared revolutionary and unjustifiable, and all that was done against her at that time is designated as ini quitous. The project, we are told, was agreed to unanimously ; the self-styled Progressistas in the Cabinet, including Senor Callado, who encouraged and aided with his purse the revolution of 1854, finding nothing to say against it. The document has been sent to Queen Christina for approval, and as soon as an opportune moment arrives, the decree will be promulgated. No doubt O'Donnell intends this sop to appease the Queen, but Attack the patrols Russians had The town was they who have studied her character know too well she will never forget, much less forgive, the pronunciamento of 1854, and the extreme anguish of mind which ensued on that memorable emlite. As a symptom of the hetroge nous character of the present ministry, it is stated that Cantero and Bayarri are likely soon to tender their resignations, owing to dissensions with their colleagues respecting the law of dismortisation. It is said that a Royal Decree will shortly appear, regulating, pro tempore, the conditions on which political journals may be published. The jury is to be maintained, the caution money increased, and the responsibility of the Editors to be substituted for that of the printer.

Montmollin and de Galliae, who escaped by water from Neufchatel, have been captured in the Can ton of Friburg. With regard to the punishment which these prisoners will receive, it is said that they will be sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and to pay the expenses of the damages they have occasioned. From Athens we learn that another rupture has taken place between the Commander-in• Chief of the French army of occupation and the Greek Govern ment. Mr. Wyse, the British Minister at Athens, had sided with the French, and had instructed the commander of the British troops at the Pirmus to support;the French Admiral until further instruc tions should be received from the respective governments. The cause of the dispute arose in conseqnence of the French Admiral (Bonet) replacing the commandant of the Pirreus, and having raised to that post a French officer without consulting the Greek authorities. Letters from Berlin, mention that the defeat of the Royalists in Switzerland, ha. 3 caused the King of Prussia some uneasiness, but he does not regard that principality as entirely lost to his crown. From Austria, we hear that Sir Hamilton Seymour has remitted to Count Boul, a note from the British Government, detailing the reasons that prevent the immediate evacuation of Greece. The affair of the pirates of the Riff is considered by Austria to be a question which interests the whole of Germany, and as such, is to be made the subject of a proposition to the Diet. The Germanic Con- federation will put itself in relation with the great European Powers, in order to devise a general system of measures calculated to inflict a proper chastisement on those pirates. It is said that the Austrian Government, particu. larly M. de Bruck and the Archduke Maximilian, are exerting all their efforts in support of the principle that the Adriatic is an Austrian sea, in order to consolidate the domination of the Austrian navy on those shores. A war between Montenegro and Turkey might lead to disagreeable complications , since the Turks would take advantage of their sea ports of Slek and Sutarina to send troops and ammunition. Our friend across St. George's Channel are just now discussing the subject of a short passage between England or Scotland and Ireland, and Dr. M'Cormick, of Belfast, puts forward the novel idea of a submarine railway between the two countries • If practicable, why not thus connect Liverpool and Birkenhead? We see it stated in some of the Irish papers that the Directors of the Bank of Ire land have taken legal proceedings against several persons in Carlow, whose bills were given as security by the Tipperary Bank for advances to that unfortunate concern by the Bank of Ireland, and, by way of the beginning of the end, it is added that the effects of an extensive farmer, residing near Ballyellen, were seized under execution for £7OO due to the bank. Alluding to the escape of James Sadleir, a Carlow paper considers that the police are on the wrong scent, and that there is every reason to believe that the fugitive is now far on his way to South America, where there appears to be little doubt that he wlil be afforded the opportunity of embracing his brother John. As if in confirmation of this strange idea, a gentleman, who has lately returned to Dublin from New Orleans, is ready to aver on oath, if called upon, that during his residence at the latter place he had seen John Sadleir boldly striding through the streets of New Orleans. There could be, he insists, no mistake, as he had been for many years familiar with the marked features of that never-to-be forgotten countenance. The local incidents of the day will be found reported at full length in other parts of the paper. As to politics, they are at a " dead lock," like both houses of the American Congress. " THERE is no Radical Reform" of our law courts advocated, is the assertion recently put forth by the Daily News, " All that is " needed," says our cotemporary, "is simply "to enable a judge sitting in Westminster " Hall to exercise the same powers as a judge " sitting at Lincoln's-inn, and vice versa. No doubt " this change would be immensely facilitated by " abolishing Trial by Jury in civil cases." This may not be a " Radical Reform," but it would be a sweeping change, and one which the people of this country will not tolerate. The suggestion, unconstitutional and subversive of the civil liberty of the realm, emanates from the Chancery Com missioners' Report. These high and mighty authorities cannot devise a plan for fusing law and. equity, and yet it is proposed " to clothe courts of " law with the same powers as are now enjoyed by " courts of equity," in order that they may be able " to render complete justice between the parties." This is allmoonshine, when employed as an argu ment. But as an admission that justice is not now done " between the parties," it will probably arouse the public and show the necessity for an immediate radical reform in our equity and civil law courts. It will also serve to confirm the apprehension expressed by the Daily New's scribe, for " some respectable Englishman will no doubt " open his eyes, and demand whether we are " serious in this proposal to abolish the palladium " of the Constitution," and we add that Trial by Jury must not under any circumstances be inter fered with. Instead of having it curtailed in the slightest degree, on the recommendation of a few Chancery lawyers sitting as Commissioners, the publio desire and are determined to introduce the jury box into our courts of " equity," as they are humourously called. The country will have no more dark•closet dealing with the liberty and property of the subject. Every day brings to light some fresh oppression and injustice which has been done to equity suitors, and persons made parties to Chancery causes without their knowledge or consent, and for which outrage upon all law, no re dress can be obtained, because, forsooth, the courts and officers do all they can to prevent expo sure, and lead the public to believe that such things cannot be done in these days with impunity. But they are done, and the world is now made acquainted with the doings of the Star Chamber tribunals by pamphlets, thousands of which are to be found in circulation in every county in the three kingdoms. The utmost publicity has re cently been given to the most barefaced robberies in Chancery, and it would, undoubtedly, be excellent generalship on the part of the Chancery Commission to make it appear that the courts of law are at fault, and to meet the popular agitation in favour of the admission of Trial by Jury in equity suits by pointing out the propriety of doing away with juries in civil actions. The readers of the NORTHERN TIMES have long since been prepared for some great stroke of forensic diplomacy, to meet the determination of the country to purge our equity courts, or wholly abolish the office of LORD CHANCELLOR, and his legions of deaf, blind, and dumb underlings ; but we had not the least idea that the enemy would have attempted so base an attack on the civil rights of the citizen, merely to screen the iniquities of the present equity system from world-wide condemna tion. Sending a case before a jury, which might be settled by arbitration, and which, from its peculiar nature, must be referred to arbiters, after it has been taken into court, may be a very round about • mode of procedure, but it might be cor rected by compelling plaintiffs and defendants, in all such cases, to invite arbitration before going into court ; but once a case is suffered to go to a hearing, let nothing on earth induce the British people to allow their rights to be tried in the absence of a jury. Give no more power to Judges, whose law is not heard by twelve intelligent men, in open court. We have had quite enough of decisions recorded behind crimson curtains. Widows, orphans, and maniacs, may be fair game for the rapacity of Chancery, but let us never abandon our good old system of intrusting our property, as we intrust our lives, to twelve honest men in a jury box. It may not be Esqumauxish, Germanish, or Continental enough for these imitative times, yet it is purely English, and has proved too whole- some for ( mendation of a I see the use of juries MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. The general tone and tendency of commercial affairs continue in the same quiet state as pre viously noticed in these columns. The rapid and satisfactory progress of the harvest, in conjunction with the present state of our foreign relations, gives considerable confidence to Cotton and other manufacturers. Hence, at this day's market there was a good demand, although most parties interested in the buying of cotton were at the Manchester market. Holders were liberal in their supplies, but supported prices with firmness. The transactions were reported at 6,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken by exporters and specula tors. According to the last official statement contained in the New York Shipping List, the total receipts at all the ports in the United States this year were 3,489,000 bales, against 2,785,000 last year. The exports to Great Britain this year were 1,945,000, against 1,528,000 to same period in 1855. The total stock and on shipboard was 51,000, against 112,000 last year. This return shows an increase of 704,000 bales in the receipts, and 411,000 in the shipments to Great Britain, but a decrease of 71,000 bales in the stocks, &c., on shipboard. Intimately connected with the move ments and statistics of the Cotton Market is the present position and future prospects of trade in the manufacturing diszricts of Lancashire. The report of our nmeliestei' correspondent, this after- , noon, states that the market in that city was very firm to-day, and that, with the exception of Indian descriptions, goods of all kinds were in active demand. Yarns also were in strong request at rather better prices. The Liverpool Share Market opened very flat this morning, and continued so throughout the day, closing very dull for all descriptions of Stocks, with the exception of Caledonian, which were in demand. The transactions of the day were :- Caledonian, 26, 1-, 1. Eastern Counties, 8 15•16. East Lancashire, 20k. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 961, 7, 69. London Stock, 1021, 1.

We experience an active demand for discount accommodation, and the Money Market is generally considered `f tight," and the late rates are fully maintained. Loans on Government Stock, to run to the October settlement, are made at 5 per cent. All the gold that arrives, is absorbed by the Con tinent, and preparations must be made for meeting the instalment, which falls due on the 18th inst. An impression now prevails in monetary and com mercial circles, that the Money Market will remain stringent until the payment of the dividends in October. We may her , :, mention, that there is also increased stringency in monetary matters on the Continent, so that two or three of the state banks have been obliged to advance their rate of discount. The spirit of commercial enterprise and specula tive dealings in new companies on the Continent, have already absorbed a large aggregate amount of capital, which will not be replaced for some time. The public Funds are still unfavourably affected by the stringency of the Money Market, and by the arrangement for the adjustment of the monthly account. Consols opened this forenoon at 941 for both money and time, and were afterwards dealt in at 941; they then receded to 941, and closed flat at 942 to 94t. The New Three per Cents found buyers at 951, then fell to 951, at about which figure they left off. There was a slight improve ment in the rates of Exchequer Bills, which we quote at 14s to 17s per annum. The London Share Market has been inactive throughout the day, but, although there was not any business of moment transacted, prices were without change. The actual transactions include :-Eastern Counties, BZ-. Great Northern, 951. Do. A., 831. Great Western, 641 64*. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 961 97. London and North Western, 1021 1021. Midland Stock, 791 79. North British, 401. York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 72 724. The closing rates were thus posted :-Caledonian, 521 521 Eastern Counties, 81 9. East Lancashire, 80 81. Great Northern, 95 96. Ditto A., 83 85. Great Western, 641 644. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 961 97*. London and North Western, 1021 103. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 33 34.

According to all accounts, the reports of sprouting will not be of serious character. The markets held here, in Leeds and Hull, again declined, and very little business was transacted in any article. We observe that the Directors of the Blackburn Railway Company are inviting subscriptions from the public for a portion of the new capital required for the extensions from Bolton, via Radcliffe, to Manchester, and from Chatburn to join the North Western Railway. This step is adopted in pur suance of a resolution adopted at the general meet ing on the 28th ult. Powers for the construction of the lines in question are to be applied for next session. The total cost of the first-named extension is estimated at 420,0001, for which sum a respon sible contractor is stated to be willing to undertake the works. Tha second extension is estimated to cost 150,0001, making a total of 570,000/. This sum is propsed to be raised by an issue of 57,000 new shares of 101. each, which are offered in the first instance to holders of Blackburn stock, whether original or preferential. Upon the corn. pletion of these undertakings it is intended to pay to the holders of these new shares a guaranteed dividend of 5 per cent., charged upon the new portions of the line,. and upon the present line, after paying the dividend upon the B Preference shares ; to pay on the original Blackburn shares a dividend up to 4 per cent. ; and ultimately to divide all surplus earnings between the new shares and the original shares in such 'proportion that the former may always continue to receive 1 per cent, more than the latter. A deposit of 1/. per share is to be paid on allotment.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING' a In a quarter likely to be well informed, it is state that Prussia has already sent duplicate notes '0 England and France, demanding that the qu esti° t , relative to the Clanton of Neufchatel shall be s e tied, once for all, in an European Coug res i, s B ' According to the Independanee, of Brussels , t' European powers will most likely make Switz,e r, be land grant Prussia a pecuniary indemnity for cession of her rights over the Canton ; but it evident that at this moment, things cannot be ee far advanced as to enable any one to say what the powers will do. It appears that more than 0 " o f treaty . , and even the famous treaty of ViEnna 1815, recognises the suzerainty of Prussia over Canton, and the Prussians pretend that the en' ti , ing form of Government, produced by a rer, be tion, is a gross violation thereof, and that i t people were consulted, they would pronoun:l4, almost unanimously for annexation to Pru sel i i . The claims of the King of Prussia to the Cant°;ly take, it seems, their origin from some far e m ' e settlement, made by the famous Prince of 000 43 our William 111. Although the King of Naples sends most n e t, lent notes to England and France, lam told he in conversation with the diplomatic agent s ' ip manifests the most conciliatory spirit, and talkswt the meekest way.

The Daily News would allow the basest criminal the benefit of a jury, but the man who had been over-reached in a contract—who had his last shilling depending on the payment of a debt, obsti nately refused by some rich man, with a deep com mercial motive for delay—who had resorted to every moral expedient to get his rights—our cotemporary would hand over to a judge to be dealt with as the bench in its single blessedness might think proper. Many persons will be unwilling to believe that any one of the newspapers of this country would venture to advocate any such retrogressive measures ; but they should remember that a large majority of the metropolitan Editors are barristers, and write as their fellow-feelings dictate. Still, much as the Newspaper Press may side with the legal corruption of the day, we believe that the system of exposure by pamphlets, which has been so largely resorted to of late, will keep the public fully advised as to what is really going on behind their equity curtains, and the reforms which are needed, and without a moment's delay. How far the PALMERSTON Cabinet will identify itself with the abolition of Trial by Jury in civil cases remains to be seen. In the meantime " a radical reform," if not the immediate abolition of the Court of Chancery, will not be less warmly discussed. The national character is seriously tarnished by the " equity" disclosures recently made, and the sooner the office of Lord Chancellor follows the many other abominations the Reforma tion swept away, the better it will be for the community at large. THE COURT BALMORAL, Sept. 7.—The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal, drove yesterday to Alt-na-Goissach.

ROBBERY AT THE WAR OFFlCE.—lnformation has been received and circulated throughout the metropolitan divisions of police of a daring robbery in the War Depart ment, St. James's Place, from whence a large number of war medals have been carried off that were just completed for presentation to the troops engaged in the Kaffir war. The medals are all of solid silver, and worth 7s 10d each. On one side is the Queen's Head and the words Victoria Regina, and on the other a lion under an African bush, and the words South Africa, 1853 ; each medal has an orange ribbon with blue stripes, and marked on the outer edge with different names. The affair, as may be imagined, has created great consternation amongst the officials, and a strict enquiry is being instituted by the police.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday, the borough coroner held the following inquests :—On the body of a child, named Christopher M'Farlane, aged three years, who died in consequence of injuries received by falling into a bucket of hot water on Saturday fortnight. The affair was accidental, and the jury found a verdict accordingly.—On the body of a child named Eliza Griffiths, who was overlain by its mother, in Robert. street, Toxteth-park. The child was ten weeks old. Verdict, " Accidentally smothered."—On the body of a joiner, named John Cragg, 25 years old, who worked for Mr. Ogilvie, at the rice mills, Cherry-street, belonging to Mr. Lightfoot. It appeared that, on Saturday night. the deceased was ordered to measure a piece of wood in the cellar, where the engine was placed. He was not to do this until Monday morning. He came back on Monday morning, and went into the celar where the machinery was. Whilst he was there (no one knew he was there) the engine was set going, after the usual caution, and ringing of the bell ; but it appeared that deceased was caught and crushed frightfully. The engine had not gone more than half a revo lution, when it was stopped. The deceased was taken to the Northern Hospital, but he died there shortly after. Verdict, " Accidental death."—On the body of a German named George Fry, who came from New York on Saturday last. He was very ill, and was taken to a German lodging house in Kent-square, kept by a person named Mildenstein, who called in a surgeon to see him, and he advised that deceased should be taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died. Mr. Garland, surgeon at the hospital, who made a pest mortem examination of the body, said death was caused by compression of the brain from natural causes. Verdict accordingly.—On the body of a man, name unknown, apparently an Irish harvestman, who died at the beerhouse of Mr. Howlett, Edge-hill. Mrs. Howlett stated that, on Sunday evening, she saw the deceased in a weak state, and she took him into her house. He said he was badly off from cold and hunger, and had no place to sleep in. There was a man with deceased ; and after he died, the man went away, saving he was a brother of deceased, and would come again. He took deceased's clothes, but he did not return. There was no doubt death was accelerated by exposure to cold. Verdict , " Died of starvation and exposure to cold." —On the body of Patrick Dugnan, aged about 12 years, who was in the employment of Mr. Smart, brewer, Benson strut. There was a cart loaded with coal at the brewery gate, when the lad and a man came up with a cart de a belongingstart, to Mr. Smart. The horse u n d er the coal dray made and the man ran to stop th e an i mal, when bY some accident the poor boy was knocked d own, an d the wheel of the cart passing over him, killed him on the spot. Verdict, " Acci dental death."
