The -'2l**kis says the report in question was, from 'the first, only unworthy of .attention. DISARMAAI , ENT. - the 31w-sting Post characterises the . - reoent Brussels telegram, respecting a simultaneous dis armament by France and England, ,as being absurd on the face of it. Disarmament is the very last thing France could ask, and iLe very last thing England could- acceed to. Our arma ments are not at all •baseil. upon any French pre . parations. • If we adopt 'measures of ao&fensive nature they are undertn as against all comers, and against combinationcf powers, anddro not vary in accordance, with the . varying strength of our neighbours. , SW-GUNBOATS. Every arrangemest has been made for the launch of the screw gun-vessel Remger, frora Deptford, this afternoon. Her armaments will consist of five guns, -namely :—one 68-pounder -95 cwt. gun, ten-fee, - in length ' • • and four'24- pounder howitzers. The keel of a precisely similar vessel, to , be named the .landrail, 12. s been already prepared, and she will be laid down on the slip now occupied by the;iaanger, which is ordered to be got ready for commission with all dispatch. TRIAL OF THE ARMSTRONG GUN. Her Majesty's .Ship Wrangler returned to Woolwich, yesterday, from an experimental cruise,—the trying of the forty-pound and eighty pound Armstrongvan at sea. A most complete course of experiments was carried out. &xty rounds of ammunition with the :elongated.-shot were fired with perfect success, and every equip ment pertaining: to the gun was pronounced faultless. TI-IF ROARS) OF TRADE =TURIN The Board of Trade Returns for the month of October were issued yesterday. The aggregate %exports of • tle month are re turned at £449,476 more than in October /858, lout £267,916 lemzthan in October 1857. 'Those for the ten months of the present year,--how ever, have reached; the unprecedented total of ,1108,755,184, being; 12 per cert. more than last year, and 13-, per-cent. more than in 1857. The returns for , Ahe month show the activity lately witnessed in-the exports of cotton is not fully kept up as rsgards . linens, and the amount is somewhat below, - the - average ; but the slip um-As of woollens have suddenly and largely increased. There is also a rally in iron And haberdashery. Tin : plates, silks and raw wool still gure on the - onftvourable side. THE SHLPFING INTEREST. The Times has • a long 'leader on the shipping trade, commencing as , Sollows The occupation of a shipowner must be one requiring very : curious qualifications, or rather, as we should be inclined to suppose, no qualifications : at all. No wonder that a trade should be overdone - Which is demon strably capable of being carried On at a profit by men utteiv unable, to uudorstand what is passing around them." . ' The Tunes, in some remarks on recent and forthcoming meetings of the shipping interest, proposes to give the recondite meaning of these gatherings : it is not enough to drive out the Frenchmen and the Americans. 'British shipping means sailing ship, and on every .principle of y proteetion and prohibition, _the sailin ship being literally the weaker vessel, has a right to be pro tected against the formidable rig: ry ,of screw steamers. The Post, in a leader, treats upon •the exclu sion of Ireland from the act enabling volunteers to be enrolled. A marriage is arranged between Major-Gene ral the Hon. Thom. Ashburnham, brother .of the Earl of Ashburnharn, and Miss Foley, sister of Lord Foley. The Times, in a leader on the volunteer move ment, says that, if we are to have a really imposing force, it must be to a great extent consisting of men of the artisan class. LATEST FROM AMERICA.' ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. The British - and north' AmeriCan royal mail steam -ship America, Captain Miller, arrived laSt night.from Boston and Halifax, with journals to 1 the I.6th inst. She had forty-nine passengers and $lOO,OOO in specie on freight, together with a valuable carp. As the America was proceeding to her, moor . ings, irk the Sloyne, she came in contact with the - ship J. Clark,. (at anchor,) doing her_ serious damage. The .steamer had her port quarter stove in, and a quarter-boat completely destroyed. The AmeriCa afterwards came. foul of the American ship Isaac Webb, also at anchor, but soon cleared, neither ship in this case having sustained any damage. • The American papers are still occupied with details of the elections, and 'speculative • discus=' sions on their results. • • The approaChing presidential election is, as might have 'been expected, the chief object,in the political game which is seemingly .being, played : out throughout the length and breadth of the United States. From Brownsville we learn that, on the 26th ult., it was ascertained that • Cortinas, , with a number of mend estimated at 'from sixty to two hundred and. fifty, had re-crossed the river, and' againentrenehed himself (Cortinas) at his mother's rancho: It - svtts further learnedthat the priesners - , in .- gaol at Victoria (Tainduhpas), forty odd' m. number, had escaped; and - gathering strength as they travelled, were making their way' to' the Rio Grande, as was thought, -with of joining Cortinas. Fearing another attack upon ' our city, it was deemed advisable to make immediate arrangements and give -him battle: - On Saturday, to make the expedition " binding," and to secure certain victory, Lieutenant Colonel Laranca, with , fifty of the Matamoros Infantry, (and one piece of artillery) ,were invited, to take a hand. . The ferry boat was soon filled with red shirts, arid _but a short time elapsed before the contingent were disporting themselves . in Aineri can 'quarters at the garrison.

Buffalo, Z.covember 14 : , •-" A' heavy nortn-west., gale has been raging here for twenty-four liChirs, accompanied with a light fall of snow. The following vessels, in. endeavouring to enter the harbour,. have run . ashore : , —The schooner William Treat, on Straw berry Island ; the schooner SWeepstakes, with a load of wheat, an the reef opposite theeity; and the.schoeners Oakhill rand Miranda, 'on the beach above the lighthouse..

A specie ceonducta from Monterey,' for Browns Ville, was about to be , attacked by rtihbers, but a rally of citizens ensured its safety." The • civil war -in Mexico, says the Journal o' Cournerce, has given existence to petty brigand Chiefs, who command small .squads of men, and. when they cannot :plunder at .berme, they will cross our, border in pursriit. of it. Our Government has at length "taken measures not-only for proteeLing the frontier from these • marauders, but for pursuing them into Mexican Territory, and chastising' them Wcherever i,.bey can be . found. 'From - this state of '`things, a vuasi war may arise, which. will be prosecuted. with more or less , vigour, according .to circum stances.

'Many military men were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment for the same offence, but most of them had escaped to France. PieSident Geffrard had issned a severe decree against persons engaged in promoting civil disorder or dissensions amongst the people.

Nnw Tome, N0v.15. The Money Market is not materially afected by the diffictrities, to which we shall . allude immediately. We have heard, says the lourne of Comiti:rce, 'for the last day or two some rumours connected with the opera tions of the Kereosone Oil Company of this city, but have been unable to obLain the •particulars until - to-day. I. appears that certain parties, some of whom arc well known persons of wealth, undertook the erection of-build ings for the Oil Company,-in Brooklyn, and the-contracts for the scotch coal that furnishes the raw material from which the oil is extracted. The joint paper of these gen tlemen has been somewhat abundant during the'hust few weeks, the buildings in Brooklyn costing nearly $400,000, and the-contracts for coal reaching.nearly as much more. In spite of their means and credit, the drawers have been unable to meet this paper fts , it matured, and it has at last gone to protest. The names involved are Messrs. L. Delmonico, (the well-known hotel keeper, supposed to be worth nearly a million of dollars,) Philo T. Ruggles, lEagle and Hazard, and David Austen, jun. We believe that the drawers only ask an extension, and feel quite sanguine about the ultimate success of their operations. The- Kereosone Oil Company is . not involved in the protest, although the joint obligations under protest were undoubtedly issued to facilitate its operations, and the company will•continne the regular manufacture and supply of oil as heretofore. The tenor of the Foreign Exchange Market is quite as favourable as reported at the close of last week. The bank, statement indicates no great -strength in specie, while an .expansive action has taken place in loans..

SOUTAERN MARKETS,—The business advised by mail is 'given in detail. By telegraph We learn that for the . endingek on Friday last, a good demand existed, and large sales were made at a slight improvement in ' price. In New Orleans alone over 140,000 bales have been sold during the last.few weeks, a fair amount being for. England, but a larger proportion .than for some weeks previously for France, the Coutinent.of Europe,, and our Northern manufacturers. From both Mobile and New Orleans we continue to hear of the 'difficulty of getting good selections of even running Middling'and the higher qualities, and the great abundance of Ordi naryto Good Ordinary grades. In. the Atlantic ports the qualityof the more recent receipts is much improved, the staple better, and the cotton free, or nearly so, from dust or said. SANDY COTTON.—By reference to the New Orleans • Price Current, of sth Nov., it will be found that a meet- - ing had been held by some of the merchants and brokers on this subject; a paper was . drawn up with resolutions, 4c, This was to be, left open for signatures until 19th instant, and it would then depend upon.liew Many were willing to ~come..to au understanding, whether pr not. sandy cotton, should be pronounced unmerchantable, and treated us such. . The complaints are as loud as ever about dust and sand, and the evil, we .fear, has pro gressed too far to expect a change in this crop. We would again call-. Upon the consumer to refuse to buy any cotton with dust or ,saud, as the only means whereby, a, stop may be put to this careless and culpable manner of ginning and preparing cotton for market. .A present slight loss would, next year and, thereafter, be an im mense gain. . .

CHARITY SRR3ZON.—The Venerable Archdeaeon Jones preached a sermon yesterday forenoon, in St. Barnabas' Church, Lower Parliament-street, in presence of the Mayor and a number of the Council, , on behalf of the Southern Hospital. The Mayor arrived in his carriage, from his residence at the Dingle, at St. Barnabas' Schools, Greenland-street, about twenty minutes before eleven, o'clock. He , then proceeded, accompanied by Archdeacon Jones, the Town-Clerk, Alderman Stewart, Mr. James Holme, and a considerable number of other gentlemen, in • procession,preceded by the in s i gn i a o f ' .A office, to the church. 1 the seats in the cent re were well 11114 but in: the sides and galleries there was a great deal of space unoccupied. The Ven. Archdeacon took his text from Acts ix, 36, from which he preached a very impressive discourse, inculcating the duty . of a course of systematic conscientious philanthropy. Before closing he pressed upon the congregation the great claims which the Hospital had upon their sympathy and support. The report put into his hands, he said, showed that above 3,000 persons had received medical aid within the last year, and these were only the most-pressing cases, which it had been found necessary to single out in consequence. of the want of funds ; there was also accommodation for 1.20 beds, but only eighty could be occupied, while many important improvements and conveniences could not he Carried out for the same reason. • He therefore hoped they would do all that in them lay, both by liberal donations now, and future application to their friends for annual subscriptions; in order to keep up and secure the efficiency of this establishment.—The collection was then made, which amounted to £ 5l 17s. 2d., being about £ lO more than last year.

It was generally known that Mr. Walter, and a deputation of the officers and members of the body had started for Croxteth early in the afternoon. All sorts of rumours were afloat. Rose-hill Station was crowded as thehour of drill approached, and the sergeants found it impossible to carry on the drill, so numerous was the body of members in attendance. At about half pastthimen s einformedlhimself, with fityheeofforthcee that gentlemenCaptain ofs the Me 1 I seven Mr. W a l ter an d C apta i n Bushby entered the t force y ,committee, Bushby, and drill-room, am id t h e most deafening cheers. Mr. Walter had j u.st returned from Croxteth ; that the Lord-Lieutenant had received them with marked kindness, and had officially accepted the services of the force. Mr. Walter dwelt for cibly on the extremely gracious manner of their reception, and assured them that the whole conduct of their Lord Lieutenant towards the Liverpool Royal Artillery Volun teers had been such as must secure for his lordship their warm gratitude and heartiest goodwill. At this announce ment the force seemed wild with delight, the cheering and shouting were most exciting. Captain Bushby led the cheers for the Lord-Lieutenant, and never has the Rosehßl Great'llall resounded with such unmistakeable shouts of satisfaction. The gallant captain-performed the fugleman. in the happy manner so peculiarly his own, and right well the volunteers appreciated his thoroughly ' British command. Silence having been o btained, Mr. Walter stated that. Captain . George Molly had i n t ro d uce d the deputation to the Lord- Lieutenant,, and that the force was largely indebted to Mr. Melly for the kind and becoming manner in which' he had e x plained to his lcrdship the features , most p rom i nent in the i r organ i sa ti on . M r . Ch ar l es Langton was el ec t e d t o 'a captaincy in the force. Mr. :Walter still adh ere d t o his resolve not to accept the post of second.in command, but stated that he had on that day, c ensented :to serve as captain unattached, in which capacity he h ope d to con ti nu e a bond of union b e t ween the members of the force and their officers. Mr. Walter's announcement was received in a manner calling forth all Captain I3 u ShV y ' s res t ra i n i n g and fugl o powers, . „ . ADELPI.I.I. The performances at this place On Saturday night were for the - benefit of:JosePh Rogers; the seaman , through • Whose noble conduct so ' many lives were saved •at - the wreck . of the -Royal • Charter. The house was crowded to the ceiling; and . .when Mr. Rogers, who had been announced to appear , came on the stage; he *was greeted with the most tumultaouS Cheering. • Not 'beinvtble to 'sneak *English ' sufficiently well to make himself understood; MrLDcutith briefly 'returned thanks-on his behalf; • and the gallant fellow. retired from the • stip amidst the enthusiastic applause of the numerous audience.* • Ansconi:'ip DEBTOR.—During Friday and Saturday' the q . eteCtite police were • thak - htes• diligent search throtighout the town and among the' ships in the: river • outward•• bound for Anierica, - Austrhlia, .4c.; .in brder to _capture a person from Blackburn.

It' is said' he was accompanied in .Ms flight bya•female, who oaght•not to be with him. The - police searched 'every place, but without effect, as the party sought could al.ot, be found.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON SATURDAY EVENING. One ''of those destructive conflagrations which have, unfortunately, lately characterised Liverpool, broke out on Saturday evening in the extensive upholstery esta blishment.of Messrs. Bradley Brothers, Bold-street. 'At six O'clock the devastating element was observed in the roof of the buildings referred to .; and the alarm having beerigivere, the West of England engine and a reel from . Seel-street station were shortly afterwards upon the spot, and were in play on the arrival of Mr. Superin; tendent Hewitt, with the engines from Hatton garden.. The, fire at this time had assumed a most threatening aspect, , and the roof appeared "to ' be altogether at the mercy of the devouring element. Providentially the evening was calm, which will account for the non-communication of the burning with the adjoining buildings. At a quarter past six Mr. Hewitt and his men got to work ; and, having, effected an entrance, began to,subdile the fire. Major Greig arrived. Shortly afterwards ; and . nothing was wanting on his part to second the efforts. of the superintendent, who had a large .body of his men. at hand to reinforce those already engaged. The hose, being skilfully , and judiciously handled by the firemen, soon began to tell upon the fi r e with .effeCt ; and at • half-past six; the fire haVing reached its climax, seemed to defy all exertions to extinguish it. By this . time, it had communi cated with the show-room on the second floor, and driien its assailants to take refuge, in the windows, and great apprehension was entertained that it would ex tend.' Persevering efforts, however, soon dispelled the fore bodings of the hundreds 'of spectators in the street ; and, at seven. o'clock it was brought under. 'The roof began to totter, and in a few minutes afterwards a portion of it fell in with a heavy crash, .yet without any damage to those enga g ed, and, in'the fall, inflicted serious injury on the show-room, inasmuch as it carried away the greater portion of the south end ; the show-room ex tending from the front to the rear of the building. In it was the stock for exhibition, which consisted of fur niture of a most expensive nature. We omitted to state that 'a good deal of valuable property was saved at the commencement, but the time was so limited after the fire-engines began to work, that articles of great vabie were left to their fate. At half-past seven; the fire was completely reduced. The firemen, however, continued their exertions till half-past eight; when, all further danger being removed, Superintendent Hewitt gave the necessary directions to the men in charge for the night. We understand that the premises were insured, and the property partially so. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE MR. BRUNEL. On Saturday afternoon, a meeting was held at the chambers of Mr. Pratt, No. 7. Great George-street, Westminster, in order to devise measures for perpetu ating the memory of the late Mr. Brunel. The Earl of Shelburne, who was called to the chair, expressed the , gratificatian he -felt in takinc , 'part in such a movement, and s aid h e was h appy to find him self amongst so many personal friends of the. deceased gentleman. Mr.' St. George Burke said that, as'au old friend of Mr.-Brunel, he had thought it right to inaugurate this movement, being, • as he was, one of the oldest personal friends of that (gentleman. He knew that amongst his friends he should nfeet with universal ac quiescence 'in his 'proposal. Having applied to many friends, he had the pleasure of say* , that all connected with the: Great Western, the Great Ship, and other companies with. which - Mr. Brunel eras. connected, had given a general approval of the plan he had proposed, he 'had thought' that nothing could be. more graceful than a joint ..monument to Brunel and StePhenson, for although they had been rivals in the great - works; they were: most intimate private friends. (Hear.) He re gretted that that proposal had not met with the approval of all his friends.. Under such circumstances the plan had, been abandoned, as he was afraid that it could not 'be effectually carried out. Another point which had engaged attention-was the subscription, and he had ' thought that the amount should be limited, and upon that understanding he had already been enabled to hand in 500. guineas.. The next point was the, nature of the memorial. He did not think that scholarships were calculated .to . perpet ua t e a great name l as the name generally became a • tech n i ca lity aft er -th e lapse of time; and his: opinion' was that a visible memorial, a tomb or a column, was the right way of proceeding.. Although the subscription was proposed to be limited to. ten, 'guineas, the committee would be happy to receive the smallest possible amount which any admirer of the late Mr. Brunel might be inclined to offer. (Hear, hear,) Mr. Russell Gurney, the Recorder of London, said he had had the pleasure of knowing. Mr. Brunel fro m mi. boyhood, and ad m i re d the wonderful genius which prompted his works, and the wonderful energy which carried them out. (Cheers.) He believed. that no one would deny the fact that never did employers have a more devoted servant, or opponents a more generous adversary. He moved the following resolution : " That in order to mark .the high sense universally entertained of the g en i us and professional . attainments of the late Mr. Brunel, as exemplified in his great public' and national works, as well as of the worth of his priVate*character, measures' be' taken for the erection of a public monument to his memory." Mr. H. T. Hope moved the appointment of a com mittee, 'consisting of the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Shelburne, Lord Barrington, Mr. Russell Gur ney, Mr. H. T. Hope, Sir Watkin Wynne, Mr. Edward Mills, Mr. John Fowler, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Mr. w. A. St. eorge Burke, Mr. Woolcombe; Vice-Chancellor Sir ocke, M.P., Mr. B sll%i r ra u .w c ir e a ; g l ef i r . l P .VP . o , ro a ad n tl d l : M ir .r . j:Col.s'ealublio4stLA, barrister-at-law.

He proposed a resolution, o not proposed texhciseedmithnegemmtlornY guineas, which they might be dispoied to give. lie expressed a hope that a large number of persons in humble means would subscribe to the memorial. l‘tr: Cripps, of the Oxford circuit, seconded the reso lution; Which - Was carried Unanimously. On 'the Motion of Mr.•Woolcombe, seconded by Mr. Harrington, Mr: Charles Davenport, a gentleman in Mr. Pratt's office, was appointed honorary secretary. to the fund. Messrs. Glyn & Co. were, by this resolution, re quested to:act as bankers. In 'the course of the meeting Mr. Wyatt stated that at, the dinner table he heard the late Mr. ft obert Stephenson say, in 'reference to Mr. Brunel and the Great .asterii ship, that Mr. ]bagel was a gentleman of the highest :oaliaiintudhedeednt:ha high enlogiu 5 ;. - scientific attailiints; Mid' that his principles were Perfectly sound. . Some suggestions were, thrown out . , with regard to the, nature and site of 'a memorial," • :yid Mr. Burke stated tli'at not being in the habit of attending Westminster Abbey t e was shocked, when he went to the' ftineral Stephenson, 'to see:the - Manner in. which the aisles were disfigured. It was mentioned also, that the Dean of St. Paul's mid the Dean of West-. Minster would be. consulted as to the memorial. Mr. Burke alSo incidentally mentioned , that Mr.,, Brunel, like Mr. Stephenson, was . -a man who Was l • largely devoted to charity',' and that the parish in which they Were assembled, (St: Margaret'S,- WeStminster,) might count his 'charitkS by thousands. (Hear; hear.) •': • A vote of thanks was !awarded to Mr. St. ,George Burke for his exertions in this case. Thanks were also awarded to the noble chairman, and the greeting., which was a most satisfactory one in every respect, -separated. COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.'`' Her Majesty and his R=.val Highness the Prince tfonsort left 'Windsor Castle on Saturday forenoon,. at?' ten o'clock, for the . camp at Aldershott. ;His Royal s ) Highness Prince Frederick William and her Royal , 'Highness Princess Frederick William of Prussia s ' (PnncesS Royal) accompanied the Queen and Prince. The Princess Alicealso accompanied Her Majesty. A party of the Ist Life Guards formed the Queen's escort.

His Royal Higless the Prince of Wales will honour the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough by a visit to Blenheim Palace in the course of this week. The duke and duchess will give a grand ball. in compliment to his Royal Highness, to ;which the leading nobility and gentry of the county are invited. A meeting was held on Saturday at. the Board of Trade, which was attended by several of the Cabinet Minister, ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. The' ReV. Stafford Bushnell, M.A. late Scholar of Pembroke College, Oxford, and Vice-Principal of St. Paul's Mission College, Dean-street, Soho, London,' has tendered his resignation as a missionary of this institu tion to the president, the Lord Bishop of London. • • Churchmen are en all sides putting -forth protests against any change of the law which shall set aside that ancient mode of supporting the fabric of the establish ment by church-rates. A petition, signed by 1,397 freeholders of the county; has been presented to the High Sheriff of Somersetshire, requesting him to con- WHO a public meeting for the purpose of petitioning Parliainent thereupon. Arrangements are in progress for renewing the special Sunday evening services in the metropolis. It is feared, however,.that the alterations at St. Paul's will not be _completed in time to commence them by Advent Sun day, as originally contemplated. The Bishop of London has undertaken to preach the first sermon, and he will be followed by the Bishops of Oxford, Ripon, Bangor, and Carlisle; the Deans of Chichester, Ely, and St. Paul's, and several clergymen of eminence. The West minster Abbey evening services are expected to commence on the first Sunday in the new year. The Rector of Warrington, the Rev. W. Quekett, has originated a scheme for the restoration of the beautiful parish church in that town, which has been completely ruined internally by the erection 'of a large fiat whitewashed ceiling, and by the introduction of over-hanging galleries, and large ill-constructed. pews. Liberal contributions have already been sub scribed by the rector's friends, and by the inhabitants of the town and district; 'and in a short space of time the sum necessary to restore the church, and to enlarge it by a new side aisle to correspond with the one already existing, would have been obtained, had not the tower of the church been found to be in such a dangerous co: - dition that it was necessary to take it down and re build it from the foundation. The inhabitants and friends of the rector are .now exerting theinselves to endeavour, by means of a bazaar at Christmas, to make up the deficiency in the restoration fund. It appears from a circular that the Dean and Chapter have resolved upon the complete, restoration of the choir of Lichfield' Cathedral. They have already expended £5,020 out 'of :their ordinary Fabric Fund, on which a surplus had 'accumulated. Towards the expenditure, necessarily large, which remains, they have only. that fund to rely on, and this they estimate will suffice for the restoration of the stonework. For the fitting up of the choir in such a manner' as becomes a cathedral *church, they' look with confidence to those who are unwilling that the work of restoration Should be sus- Lended. in the beautiful , building which the diocese of ichfield possesses. 2porting 4atettigente.
