The c omm i ttee of the Liverpool Juven i le Reforma tdoersTre A ssociation, in p resen ti ng th e i r fourth animal report, to express their continued conviction of the suitableness of such an agency for the reformation of juvenile offenders. t: " The subj ec t o f j uven i le d e li nquency an d i ts reforma ion has been so recently discussed in Liverpool, at the 12ieeting of the Association for the Promotion of Social 6cience, and the conclusions arrived at being so very much in favour of the methods at present pursued, that ri would seem unnecessary to enlarge on the necessity for a.derrnatories, which is admitted by all, or . the . peculiar t.ation of such institutions for accomplishing the end iu new, ha" In the y ear end i ng the 31st of December, 1858, there v e been committed to reformatory institutions from Liverpool 101 j uven i les. "During the meetings of the Soci a l S c i ence Associa tion, a large number of its members availed themselves of the opportunity afforded to them of visiting the Akb ar , a nd, although seen t o muc h di sa d vantage, ow i ng to the crowd of v is it ors , an d consequent excitement among the Ys, yet much satisfaction was expressed with their a ppearance, and their prompt obedience to orders, as well as their ac ti v i ty aloft and in the boats. Nothing has occurred on board during the year calling for special remark. Under Captain Fenwick's admirable superin tendence, the whole machinery has been working well ; good order and discipline, with plenty of work, and a s pirit of cheerfulness throughout all, has prevailed. " Through the liberality of the treasurer the committee have been enabled to secure the services of a gentleman as chaplain, an office which they feel assured will be productive of much good in the spiritual welfare of the Dogs. " Towards the continuance •of this office a fund has been established, and a separate account opened. The committee have to thank the ladies of Rock Ferry for .£227 7s the proceeds of a bazaar held there during the last summer for this purpose. And the committee eannot but esteem it as an evidence of the good conduct of the boys that those who have had such frequent opportunities of seeing, them on shore should have taken so lively an interest in their welfare.

Red& Campbell moved the first resotaii& n , which was that the report be adopted, printedi and circu lated. He aid the report must recommend itself to the acceptance of the meeting, and he hoped it would be satisfactory to the public to know that the committee had not been idle. They were endeavouring to extend the benefits of the institution by taking a farm near N,ewton. He hoped that that and similar institutions for the reformation of juvenile offenders would, by God's blessing, be permitted to attain the end for which they were instituted. 'He could wish—a vain wish, he. feared —that it were possible, by some legislative enact ment, to compel those juvenile vagabonds who infested their streets, and who were brought up to the perpetra tion of crime, to enter the ragged schools. (Hear, hear.) Such a measure, he feared, would not be considered consistent with the liberty of the subject in this free country ; and therefore; as he had said before, he feared it was but a vain wish. It was to be hoped, however, that the attention of the public would be directed—in order that as much as possible might be done to bring that worst part of the population under the influence of education and religion. Mr. Castellaine — seconded the motion, and mentioned that in a recent instance two boys taken from the Akbar, and placed on board a ship with which he was connected, had, according to the report of the captain, turned out very well. He had, also, a letter from Mr Hutchison, who was himself unable to attend that meeting, stating that he had had two boys from the Akbar placed on board a ship, and that they turned out to be two of the best who were ever there. The motion was unanimously adopted. Mr. Brown proposed a motion appointing a committee and officers for the year. He mentioned that he had had a letter from Mr. Walker, of Manchester, stating that a reformatory for adults was much wanted, and that he (Mr. Walker) would take upon himself the responsibility of furnishing a place of the kind, and which he thought he could nearly make self-supporting. The members for the city of Manchester, the members for the county, and some gentlemen of the Roman Catholic persuasion, were also parties to that undertaking. Mr. Adam Hodgson, seconded the motion, which was also carried. The proceedings then closed with the customary vote of thanks to the Mayor. LIVERPOOL EXCHANGE BUILDINGS. Yesterday, at noon, the annual general meeting of the Proprietors of the Exchange Buildings was held in the Cotton Sales-room ; Mr. J. H. Macrae in the chair. The Chairman said he would just make a few observa tions for the purpose of putting the meeting in a better position to understand the accounts, and•to show the position in which they were in last year. It would be in the recollection of those present that, besides the usual dividend, there was a balance in hand of £l,OlB. This amount it was thought, by the committee at that time, wise to hold over, believing that the close of 1857, and the commencement of 1858, might find the commercial world in some little difficulties, and that the receipts might not be so large as the previous year; but he was happy to say that they were agreeably disappointed, for not only had they realised the same amount, but a little extra over the previous year. They had from last year a sum 'of £1,034, making now a balance to the credit of the proprietors.of £2,052, out of which sum the committee recommended a dividend of one guinea a share extra. The whole sum was divisible, if the proprietors thought fit, but the committee did not recommend it, but thought it wise that the balance of £l,OlB should be still held over. The Secretary then read the statement of accounts, of which the following is an abstract : Dr. £ s. d. To dividend for 1857 on 800 shares at £9 9s per share 7,560 0 0 To amount paid in lieu of the right of nomination to the News Room for 1858 on 800 shares, at £3 3s per share , . .....

Errors exce :ted.) ' JouN H. YOUNGHUSBAND, Secretary and Treasurer Liverpool. Dec. 31, 1858. The Chairman remarked that, it would be observed, they had been put to some extraordinary expenses in obtaining an Aot of Parliament. The amount was £1,4.50 18s 11d, which had been deducted from the contingent fund, which was strictly applicable for this purpose. Mr. J. H. Turner thought 'it seemed a very large item. Several other gentlemen expressed their opinion that it was a very reasonable amount in the obtaining of an Act of Parliament. Mr. Turner then moved that the accounts be proved, passed and printod ; and that a copy be sent to each of the proprietors. Mr. Bateson seconded the motion, which was then passed unanimously. Mr. Myers moved that two and a-half per cent., or the sum of £246 13s 9d, be reserved for the contingent fund. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dickinson, and carried. ' Mr. William Titherington then moved that a dividend of £lO lOs per share be paid to the proprietors on and after the 7th February, and also the further sum of £3 3s per share, in lieu of the right of nomination to the news room. The resolution was seconded by Mr. James Harrison Mr. Charles Melly said, before passing this resolution, he would remark that, formerly, after passing a certain amount to the contingent fund, the balance was all divided. Last year there was a balance allowed to stand over, on the supposition that there would be some opposition. But as they could actually pay £l2 per share this year, he would suggest to the committee whether it was desirable to allow this sum to be accumulating, and whether they might not pay at least eleven guineas. He made no motion, but merely threw this out for the consideration of the committee. The Chairman observed that the committee had fully considered the matter, but they were extremely anxious to sustain themselves, in the event of any possible oppo sition to the new bill. Mr. Booker asked were they not now in a contest ? Were they not like a house divided against itself ? Were not many of their proprietors fighting the battle against them, and compelled them to spend that £1,400 ? He would ask them if they were to have this contest, would they not require more money to defend themselves ? and where was this money to come from, if they divided their balance as Mr. Melly would have it. He thought they should make provision. Mr. Titherington remarked that the money would not be squandered by the committee, and it was merely a disarrangement of the financial year, as to the time when the dividend would be given (hear, hear.) The Chairman said that the observations had only elicited the healthy state of their funds. The motion was then put and carried. Mr Titherington moved, "That the thanks of the meeting be given to the auditors of the accounts, for their services during the past year." The motion was seconded by Mr. Harrison, and carried. The following gentlemen were elected as members of the committee, in lieu of retiring members :—Messrs. Lamonius, Barton, Rigley, James Bateson, Burckhardt, William Titherington, and Booker. A resolution was then carried empowering the com mittee now appointed to act. A vote of thanks was then passed to the old committee for their past services ; a vote of thanks was also passed to Mr. John Stewart, their surveyor, and to Mr. Thomas Carson, their solicitor. Each of these gentlemen re turned thanks. _ _ The Chairman then made the , following remarks in reference to the position of the proprietors at present in regard to the new bill : I have now to bring . before the meeting a bill, of which notice has been given by the New Exchange Buildings Company, Limited, and which it is proposed to bring into Parliament in the ensuing session. The meeting will recollect that in the last session of Parliament our company . applied for and obtained an act authorising them to increase the capital of the company £40,000, and to borrow £30,000, to enlarge the newsroom, and generally to alter and improve the buildings, and to buy additional land fot the purposes of the company. By a clause added to the bill in committee, its operation was sus pended until . the Ist of August, 1859, to allow time for the proposal to Parliament of a more comprehensive scheme, the expedien c y o f suc h h av i ng b een sugges t e d b y certain parties who opposed the bill in committee. With this clause our act was passed. With reference to the bill of the New Exchange Buildings Company, Limited, I have to state that it contemplates the iurchase of the property of our company—that. is to say, th e E xc h ange •Butidinge. The bill incorporates therewith the I ):Aridg Clauses Consolidation Act, which will enable the company to purchase our property, under ,the com pulsory clauses of that, act, so that the price would be fixed by a jury or arbitrator. It also empowers the company to alter and enlarge the buildings. The proposed capital of the company is £360,000, with pbwer to increase it an additional £lOO,OOO, and a power to borrow £lOO,OOO. The company also seeks power to purchase 4,000 additional square yards of land, and to stop up Exchange-street West. These appear to be the principal provisions of the bill. Having brought the bill under the notice of the meeting, it will be for them to give such directions to their committee as they may think fit. Perhaps the V most expedient course will be to refer the bill to the committee, with power to take such steps as they may consider necessary for the protection of the property and interests of the shareholders of our company. Mr. Booker moved, that the bill be referred to the committee. Mr. Brook, in seconding the motion, remarked that he could not perceive , that the Now Bill, with respect to their proprietory, was a just one. He could not imagine that the thing was at all called for. The arrangements of mercantile purposes here were far superior to those in the City of London, and he did not believe the House of Commons would sanction such a bill. The motion was passed, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting then separated. LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGEMCE BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD, THE MUTINY ON BOARD THE ENOCH TRAlN. — Officers Layeock and Carlyle, brought up seven more black men, part of the crew of the above named ship, charged with mutiny, and threatening Captain Rich, the commander of the vessel. The evidence of .the officers, and the case generally, was the same as that given on Saturday, and one of them named Beckett was pointed out as the ring leader, and the man who had .induced the others to mutiny. Beckett made a speech, and said he was not treated as a man by the mate, and that the captain threatened to sell him when he got to New Orleans._ The captain utterly denied the statement. The prisoners all made several excuses, but of 'a petty description. Carlyle said Beckett ham mered one of the men on board, because he turned to and done his work. His Worship said he did not credit a word of what the prisoners had said. The captain said he would withdraw the charge against any Of the prisoners who wished to go in the ship, but they all refused. They were fined £5 or two months imprison ment each. THE GLASS TO ITS WRONG 'USE.—James Hicks, a well dressed young man, was =charged with a violent assault on a black sailor, named Moses Hunter. Mr. Bluck defended. It appeared that on Sunday the complainant, -along with another man, went into a public-house kept by a Mr. Ellis, in Great Howard-street, where they were drinking and smoking. The prisone r entered, and asked Hunter to pay for some drink, which he refused to do, and, as the evidence went to show, the prisoner struck him a blow on the face with a tumbler glass, inflicting two wounds—one on the fore head, and one across the nose. Mr. Blink produced a witness, who swore that the black man struck Hicks first. The prisoner was fined £2, or two months' imprisonment. THE MAN AND THE TIGERS.-officer Caldwell, 482, brought up a person named John Williams, described as a master of a ship, charged for having assaulted him. The officer said : I was on duty at the menagerie, at Shaw's-brow, on Saturday night, when the priso ner came behind me, and gave me a blow on the head.. I turned round, and saw he was intoxicated, and I then wanted him to go home, when he called me a thief and pickpocket, and said I robbed a church, and struck me again. The prisoner said it . was all the fault of the drink and the tigers. He was fined lOs and costs. Jonx THOMPSON'S PEA-SOUP.—Sarah Davies, was charged by John Thompson, a soup shop-keeper, in Lower Parliament-street, for having smashed a bowl, after drinking the soup, and for also smashing two squares of glass in his windows, and for an attempt to smash in his own day-lights—to wit, his eyes—into the bargain. Mr. John Thompson is a very little man, with very great whiskers, and a powerful looking nose, modelled after the fashion of the 'Wellington system, and a head that put one in mind of the leg of a peg-top trousers, whilst Sarah Davis was a pale, bilious, and in teresting looking matron of 28 years of age, with a "boa-constriction" about her neck. Mr. Thompson told a story 'about a peculiar knack he had of making pea soup, and the narrative forcibly reminded one of George Rollin's advertisements. According to Mr. Thompson the peas were specially grown for his particular use—no other peas could be produced like them - although every one knows the comparisons made between the likeness of two peas. The water that glomorated the peas was not pike water, so much the better for the soup. Without going through the variety of the excellence of the materials which composed Mr. Thompson's pea-soup, according to his account of it—if his account be true, and there is no reason to doubt that it was the ne plus ultra, the "beau ideal," the factotum, of all the soup that was ever produced, from turtle to egg broth—Mrs. Davis and a friend of hers, went to Mr. Thompson's, on Saturday night, to luxuriate on two penny bowls of this " godess-feeding" beverage. The very bowls in which it was served, were unique and original, with quaint figures and sylvan scenes painted thereon. Whether it was the contemplation of these fine arts, or the enjoyment of the fine composition of art that they contained, certain it was that they stopped no less than three-quarters of an hour over the soup. It coming up to closing time at this period, Mr. Thompson hinted that it was time to be going. The ladies had no objection to depart, but a little difficulty prevented their marching, namely, the payment of a penny a bowl for the illimitable compound. Mrs. Davis thought it was quite enough to patronise Mr. Thompson, without paying him ; but Mr. Thompson preferred pay ment to patronage any day out of the 365, and he told her so, in as plain English as "General Kennedy" would have done in Irish to a native of the Irish Highlands. Instead of reimbursing the proprietor for the famous pea soup, she hit him a lick in the face, and broke two squares of glass in his shop window. Mrs. Davis called her com panion, who said it was all about a trifle of mustard. They went in to have some penny bowl of soup, and when they asked for some mustard to put in it —(laughter.) Mr. Mansfield : Do you use mustard in pea soup ? Witness : Every " lady " has her liking, you know, sir. (Renewed laughter.) His Worship intimated to Mrs. Davis, that she had no right to take a liking to smash Mr. Thompson's windows, after partaking of his wonderful pea-soup, and ordered her to pay ss. and costs, or to be imprisoned for fourteen days. KEEPING . iN IMPROPER Hou3E.—John Seddon, 22, and Mary Seddon, his wife (who appeared to be his mother), were charged for keeping an improper house at 7, Glover-street. Mr. Black appeared for the prisoners. The difference in their appearance, caused Mr. Mansfield to ask, is this mother and son ? Ile was informed that they were husband and wife, and that the young fellow recently married her, for the pur pose of living idly by the income of the infamous house. The charge was proved, and his Worship said he would send them for trial. Mr. Bluck asked if his Worship would not conclude according to law, that it was supposed the wife was acting under the control of her husband ? His Worship said he would let both out on two sureties of £lO each. FATAL ACCIDENT—CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Henry Roberts, a carter, was brought up by officer 667, on a charge of having caused the death of a boy named Thomas Karmode, aged four years. Mr. Black was for the prisoner. From the evidence of the officer, and a person named Neill, it appeared that about half past two o'clock on Saturday, the prisoner was driv ing a heavy laden float down Mersey-street, and that the child was crossing the street, and Mr. Neill said he saw the horses knees knock the child down, when he attempted to stop the horse, but fell under the shaft of the float ; the child tried to get up, when it staggered and fell under the wheel, which passed over the head, and killed the poor little thing on the spot. A witness named Haily, gave a different version of the case, and said the child fell ten yards from the float, before it went over the child. A young man named Mills spoke as to his seeing the transaction, and gave a rather different account of it from the two other witnesses. All the wit nesses, in reply to Mr. Black, said the carter was sober, and driving very slowly at the time. They did not attribute any blame to him. His Worship said it was an unfortunate and melancholy accident, but it was clear the prisoner was not to blame, and he therefore discharged him. (He was subsequently brought up at the Coroner's Court, on the inquest, but was there discharged also, as the jury found it was an accident.) A SCOUNDREL INDUCING A SON TO ROB HIS FATHER. —James M'Namara, a boot and shoe maker, who lives at 10, Sun-street, was brought up by officers Laycock and Carlyle, on a charge of having stolen and received about £4OO worth of leather, the property of Mr. Robert 'Lawson, leather dealer, &c., of 17, Pembroke-place, and Joseph Lawson, a boy 14 years of age, son of the prose cutor, was charged with stealing the leather in conjunc tion with 111 . ‘„Namara. Mr. Cobb defended.. There was 'about £2OO worth of the leather in the court.. Carlyle said, from information he and Laycock received, they went to the house of the prisoner M'Namara, at 10, Sun street, and asked him if he had any leather that did not belong to him ? He replied he had not. They said they suspected he had, and must search the house. He asked them for their warrant, and dared them to search with out one, They told him they would search, and he defied them, and said he would not allow them to do so, as he was an old INiblin policeman, and knew the law better THE NO_KfilErN - TiJESDaYi, PtI3RLTARY 1, 1859 than they did, and that they could not search without a regular warrant. Witness then took him into custody, and Laycock went up stairs and got about £2OO worth of 1 lather, now produced, in a room up stairs. They then ok Mr. Lawson's son, the younger prisoner, into stody, and he said that nine months ago, he became c i acquainted with the prisoner, who came into his father's shop to buy some leather, From that time he induced the lad to give, him sides of leather, and large quantities of the same material, but he only got 2s 6d and 5s now and then from him. He made him put sides of leather out in the yard, and in the night M`Namara used to come and take them away. On Friday last he took away no less than five butts of valuable leather, and these, with a great variety of every sort of leather, and a large quan tity of tops or uppers of boots; ladies and mens, patent, French, English, &c., half made, closed, and the like, were found in the house in Sun-street. In reply to Mr. Cobb, the officer said the youth told all this in the pre sence of the other prisoner. Mr. Cobb endeavoured to show, according, he said, to his instructions, that the prisoner M‘Namara was deaf, and could not hear what was said. The party who instructed Mr. Cobb was, however, rather unfortunate, for the prisoner at once showed that he could hear, as well as the fabled gentleman who is said to have heard what the people at the antipodes were speaking about—lovers and all ! Carlyle, in reply to Mr. Cobb, said, he was not aware that the prisoner was deaf. Laycock was then examined, and proved the same fasts, as-those stated by his brother officer. I asked him if he had any leather in the house, Or other articles of leather, not his own ? and he replied he had not. I said I should look through the house, and he said I should not. I did look through the house, and found all the leather now produced ; brought it to the police office. __Tile boy (i\fr. Lawson's son) told me all about it before that. The boy told me the other prisoner used to come in the morning to the shop, and took as much leather as he liked, and that he took five butts on last Friday. Mr. Robert Lawson, the father of the younger prisoner, said : For the last nine months I have, day after day, and week after week, missed quantities of all sorts of leather out of my place. On Friday last, I missed five hides. The boy said he did not know anything about it. I went to the police-office, and :told the whole story. The police came, and the boy then told them' all about it. I have missed altogether about £l5O worth of leather. The prisoner never bought ql:Ily a few shillings worth of leather in my house. He had only 10s. a week from another person, a short time ago, but lately he has commenced supplying shops with boots and shoes at a low price. He never had any account with me, nor did I give my son any liberty to give him credit. The last time I took stock, within the past nine months, I was de ficient £450 in my stock. Cross-examined by Mr. Cobb: lam not a leather dresser. Some of the leather here come from London, and more from France. My son sells a little for me, but I did not send him out to sell for me. He had no authority to sell more than ss. worth or so in the morning, before I entered the shop, for me. John Harrison, the ware houseman for Mr. Mannion, of Woolstenholme square, proved the marks on all the leather, ancl Mr. Lawson also proved the same. Some witnesses were examined to prove that they saw the prisoner enticing the boy into his house, when the lad was coming from school. Mr. Cobb said, after the evidence he would not say a word, but ask his Worship to take bail. His Worship said he would not take any amount of bail. He sent the prisoner for trial. He said he would take the father's bail for the boy, but the other case was one of the worst he had ever heard. CIIANGING & CERTIFICATE.—Anne Martin, a boarding housekeeper, Warwick-street, was summoned for having giran a false certificate to a sailor. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb for the defendant. The facts were these :—the person who had the certificate was just sent to jail for two months for having used it. He lodged at the house of defendant for three days, and was known as John Jones. He gave the defendant his certificate to keep, but when he wanted it, a man took it down, and handed him one in the name of Cuff, his real name being Cook. Mr. Cobb showed that the de fendant, Martin, did not know anything about this, and the case was dismissed, but his Worship hoped that it would be a warning to boarding-house keepers, for if the defendant had been convicted, he would have fined him £5O. Case dismissed. LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT. -YESTERDAY BEFORE J. K. BLAIR, ESQ., JUDGE. MATHER V. THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAIL WAY COMPANY.—This was an action brought by plaintiff against the railway company, to recover money paid as a passenger to that company, he having previously paid for a contractor's ticket. Mr. Squarey appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, and Mr. Williams for the defendants. Mr. Squarey stated the case, to the following. effect. Mr. Mathers contracted with the railway com pany to carry him as, a passenger from Marsh-lane station for a year, and got a contractor's ticket. On that ticket was printed a notice that it was not transferable, and, consequently, could not be used by any other than the person to whom it was issued, and whose name it bore. Under that contract Mr. Mathers travelled during the year 1857, and the ticket was renewed on the Ist of Jan., 1858. In October of that year, Mr. Mathers was unfortunate enough to get his pocket picked, and, among many other things, he lost his contractor's ticket. He then applied to the company for a renewal of the ticket, stating the circumstances under which he had lost the other ; this the company refused to grant, stating that if he did not get his ticket, he must pay his fare on the line as any other passenger. Mr. Mathers could do nothing else, and paid his fare as other passengers, but always under protest. He had paid the fare from the 30th of October till the 31st of December, which amounted to the sum of £1 1 ls. 6d. He (Mr. Squarey) submitted that in the loss of the ticket the contract had not been lost, but the evidence of the contract on Mr. Mathers' part alone had been lost, and as Mr. Mathers was known to every servant of the company on the line, nobody could be successful in travelling upon his , ticket. Under these circumstances he was of opinion that the company should not have taken the advantage of their own bye-law, and extorted from Mr. Mathers the payment of fares for which he had paid before. His Honour said, it was a pity for Mr. Mathers to lose his money, but the company must be protected. It was not general for these tickets to be produced, but he thought they ought to be. Mr. Squarey referred to the bye-law referring to the case, and stated that 10s. had been paid by the plaintiff as a deposit, which was to be returned, if the ticket was produced at the expiration of the contract; and now, that the ticket was lost, was his client to lose the 10s. too ? Mr. Williams, for defend ants, said, that before a case could be made out, it must be proved that the contract was absolutely to carry for a specific time, which had not been done. He knew, with regard to the contractors' tickets, the same duty" was not imposed on the holders of them as was with ordinary passengers. The company were not bound to issue these tickets, by law, and if parties availed themselves of them, they must abide by the laws which regulated the issue of them. This was not absolutely a contract to carry, but a contract to carry subject to certain conditions. His Honour said he could not see how the business could be conducted in any other way than that specified in the bye-laws of the com pany. The case was therefore a nonsuit. The following is the business of the court for the dates specified under: —Tuesday, February Ist., protec tion cases, half-past 10 a.m. ; gaol cases, 12 noon. Wednesday, Feb. 2nd, judgment summons, and 70 original cases for half-past 10 a.m., and 60 for 12 noon.

SUICIDE AT SEA.—On the last return passage of the Preussisscher Adler, from London, when the steamer was approaching the lighthouse off the harbour, one of the passengers jumped from her deck into the sea. Boats were instantly lowered, and every effort was made to rescue the unfortunate individual ; but without success, owing to the roughness of the sea. The suicide was a tailor, who was returning from London to his native place, Skibbereen, for the benefit.-of his health. He was observed, during the passage, to be very dejected, and there is no doubt that he committed the rash act in a moment of mental aberration, Cork Examiner.

The impression seems to be that the amount will not be readily subscribed : lastrian Loan for £6,000,000 Five per Cent. Stock, with Dividend from Ist Jan., 1859 Messrs. N. M. Rotlischild and Sons beg to announce that they will receive subscriptions for a loan of £6,000,000, Austrian Stock, bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum, which loan was sanctioned by the Decree of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, on the 31st Dec., 1858, and for the negotiation of which loan, Baron Brentano, Aulic Counsellor in his Imperial Majesty's ser vice, has been commissioned by the Finance Minister. The interest on the bonds, commencing from Ist January, 1859, will be payable in pounds sterling half-yearly, on the Ist of July and Ist of January, at the counting-house of Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons, in London, or at the option of the holders at the office for the payment of the Public Debt in Vienna, at the exchange of ten florins, Austrian currency, in silver, per pound sterling. The bonds will be of £lOO each, and numbered from Ito 60,000. The reimbursement of this loan will take place by means of a sinking fund of 1 per cent. per annum, to be applied to the payment off at par, of the proportionate part of the bonds, to be drawn by lot annually on the 2nd January, commencing on the 2nd January, 1860. The payment of the bonds thus drawn will take place on the Ist July following. The subscription price is £BO for every £lOO stock, payable at the countin g -house of Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons, as follows--X2O on the 15th Fe bruary; £2O on the 15th April; £2O on the 15th July; £lO on the 15th September; £lO on the 14th October. To subscribers who should prefer payment in anticipa tion of the above terms, a discount at a rate of four per cent per annum will be allowed. As it is essential that the times of payment should be punctually observed, if the instalments be not paid on the day appointed, the party making default shall forfeit the instalments pre • viously paid, and shall not be entitled, after the day, to claim any bonds or dividend warrants in respect of that or any subsequent _instalment. The dividend warrants due on the Ist of July, 1859, will be deducted from the instalment payable in that month. Subscriptions will be received by Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons, from eleyen o'clock, a.m., on Monday, 31st January, and each succeeding day, until eleven o'clock on Monday morning, 7th February next, when the list will be closed. All applications to be accompanied with a deposit of 5 per cent , which, upon allotment, will be carried to the credit of-each subscriber; if the deposit should exceed the amount of 20 per cent. on the allotment, the balance will be returned forthwith. The new Austrian Loan has not proLeed .;;li . an unfavourable effect upon the English Stock Market as might have been anticipated. This, however, is traceable to an impression that the operation will not prove successful. Consols are 951, 95k for Money, and the Bth February, and 95k, 95 1 for March. The New Threes are 951, 96k.

The letters per the Africa state that the New York Money Market presented no new feature, the rates remaining at 3 to 4 per cent. for loans on call, and 4 to 6 per cent. on well-known paper. Sterling exchange closed rather inactive, owing to the firmness of drawers, who insisted upon an advance. For first-class sterling the range was from 1091 to 109+, though the operations at the latter figure were not many. The sales of Cotton for the week had been about 8,000 bales. Cotton in transitu had declined -Z-c. per lb., which had led to rather increased buying. The general opinion on the subject of the crop was gradually settling upon an estimate of about 3,600,000 bales. There are, however, more believers in 3,700,000 than at any time since the season opened. The receipts, if taken as a guide, point to the larger estimate. The heavy rains in the south have interfered with the free hauling of Cotton to the depots and landings, while the rivers are all in fine navigable order ; there is no falling off in the receipts in the proper sense •of the term, nor can any be expected for some weeks to conic. We are now comparing with the small receipts of last year, resulting from the panic, and our excess, as compared therewith, must necessarsly increase. The maximum increase may possibly be reached by the 16th of Feb., and during March some reduction must t ake p lace.
