AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. By the arrival of the Royal Mail Steamer Asia, we are in receipt of New York advices to the sth, being four day's later than that received 1 y the City of Washington, which arrived here on Friday The Asia brings about fifty passengers, and $407,189 specie on freight. From Washington, we learn ' that warlike reports were in constant circulation as having been received from Paraguay, confirming the reported intention of President Lope z to stand upon his AguitY, and resist the unjust demands of the American Government. Not much reliance, how ever, is to be placed upon its authenticity, although the occasion is one upon which he would naturally indulge in a little bluster, and may also avail him self of it, for the purpose of exciting the fears or sympathies of his neighbouring States. " Still it With confidence,' says a correspondent, "be supposed that Judge Bowlin, with his accredited diplomatic tact, will be able to effect the required object of hi s m i ss i on w ith ou t recourse to v i o l ence. " Various contradictory reports were in circulation relative to the Nicaraguan Filibusters. Among -these reports is one, that the President has received a telegraph despatch stating that they had landed at Omoa, and that a revolution was doubtless effected at Leon before the Ist of January. But there is the best authority for saying that the President has received no such despatch. The C omm i ttee on Commerce in the House of Representati ves have, by_ one majority, agreed to report a bil l repealing the fishing bounties. An effort will be made to pass it under the operation of the previous question. The Governor of the State ,of New York had delivered his annual message. Several items of interest to European readers are embraced in it, 81 t 1 as the following : We have no deposits of coal within our limits. It - ' e uld, therefore, be our object to open channels and avenne s of inter-communication with our, neighbour ing State of Pennsylvania, for the easy and rapid transit through our canals and over our railroads, of that necessary article of domestic fuel, the use of Which, also, enters so largely into all our induitrial Occupations. As far as the great agricultural interest is L e°, . 11 terned, I am not aware that it seeks or needs any- plug from the state. Our agricultural population is happ y , contented, and intelligent. Should, however, that IMportant•-interest require any legislation or aid, its wishes should be listened to with the greatest attention. ?he total number of emigrants that arrived at the port of New 'York during the year, from January Ist to December 31st, was 78,589, being only about forty' per cent.' of the arrivals for 1857, and twenty-five per cent, of the arrivals for 1854, and less than during any year since 1847. This has caused a large dimi nution in the fund under the control of the commissioners, which is created by a per capita commutation of two dollers for each alien passenger ; while, under the law giving the emigrant a claim on the fund for five years after arrival, the commission is liable for the support of over 860,000 persons arrived since January Ist, 1854, or for such portion thereof as may, from inability to support themselves, becomd chargeable in any part of the state. A New Orleans despatch dated the Ist inst says that : A sloop arrived there from Ruatan reports that the schooner Susan lauded her passengers at Puerto Cabello, Honduras, and that they forthwith prepared to cross the country to Leon, Nicaragua. The arms had been abstracted from the arsenal at Leon, and are now in possession of the Democrats at Chinandega and Subtiaha, who are 'awaiting the advent of the Americans in order to declare against Martinez. Chaves, a relative of General Valle, Was at Ocicl oca l, on the confines of Nicaragua. All Hon duras was ready, as were a large number of Democrats in Nicaragua, to unite with the Americans. Col. Natzmer had been sent forward by Col. Anderson, in order to complete th e p o li t i ca l arrangements w i t h the Leonese. The correspondent of the Associated Press sends the following, dated Belize, Honduras, Dec.' 20 : The schooner Susan was wrecked on the Glovers, a Coral reef, sixty miles from Belize, on the morning of the 16th. The passengers were saved, but the vessel is a t4tal l oss• Captain Maury endeavoured to charter another vessel to carry his passengers on. Governor Seymour tendered the British steamer Basilisk to convey Au the passengers to any Southern port of the United States. Graerican captain circulated prejudicial reports but the yernor c h ose to regard them as shipwrecked citizens of a friendly passengers will re t urn to Mobile. y A ater despatch says:— The British war steamer Basilisk arrived in Mobile Bay this morning,. from Belize, Honduras, with one hun dred shipwrecked passengers of the schooner Susan, who Were taken aboard on the :26th, by order of the Governor of Belize, and treated gentlemanly by the British officers. The passengers have since arrived at Mobile. On land ing, a procession was formed, and the Nicaraguan flag hoisted. Captain Maury was called out, and made a speech to the crowd. There is much excitement. A secret convention of ministers was held in Washington, on the 3rd instant. It was rumoured that a startling and formidable protection move ment was inaugurated. Great excitement prevailed in Troy, N.Y., con sequent upon the discovery of two dead bodies, one of them partially dissected, in a building in - Congress-street. A crowd of several hundred persons assembled; and threatened to tear down the buildin.g. Finally coffins were procured, and the bodies taken away. The room in which they were found was completely gutted. By the arrival of the Overland Mail at St. Louis, we have four days' later news from California. A rich quartz vein had been discovered in the sub urbs of; San Francisco. The news from Frazer River was more favourable. The last steamer from Victoria brought down two hundred thou- and dollars in gold. General Harney designed open ing =military roads between the various military posts in Washington territory. The news from Salt Lake says that the U.S. Marshal had been prevented from serving a process on Brigham Young by the guards of that worthy, and that it was, expected Judge Sinclair would call upon the military to enforce the orders of his Court. Four hundred troops had left Camp Scott to guard government animals, wintering in the yalies. Business at San Francisco was dull. The passen gers report meeting Mr. Pardee, the' expressman, 300 miles beyond El Paso, eleven days out. He would probably make the trip in seventeen days. Ben McCullock was at El Paso en route to Guay mas, Sonora. The Comanches were lurking around the mail stations in a threatening man ner, and had already shot at some of the mail company's men, while hauling water. The Apaches were f r i en dly. About four hundred of them were encamped at Apache Pass. COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, Jan. 5 The market for Foreign Exchange was better supplied to-day, and the rates for Sterling Bills declined a little. Bank and bankers' names rule at 109-1 to 109 q, and prime commercial signatures at 1091 to 104 On Paris, 5f Mc to 5f 134 e ; Hamburgh, 3q-, to 36a- ' • Amsterdam, 414- to 41 1 • Bremen, 79 to 792 The Stock Market shows a dulness in business and prices, and with some few , stocks a large decline. State Stocks were in 1 ight demand. COTTON NEW Youn MARKET.—Subsequently to our last report, this market subsided into a very quiet state, under the dull news from Liverpool —large receipts and accumulat ing stocks at all ports. Sellers found it necessary to concede slightly to encourage operations, while many withdrew their Cotton from the market, as the demand was very light, being confined to the immediate wants of the home trade. Middling Upland was quoted 111 c. The business of the past two weeks has been interrupted by the holidays of the season, and buyers have not wished to renew transactions before the opening of the new year. Since receipt of the America's news, however, the enquiry has improved, and holders again demand 12c for middling Uplands. Yesterday, the sales reached 1,000 bales, and the week's sales amounted to 7,000, -of which 2,500 in transitu, on the basis of 11 . 1 c for middling Gulfs, with -4 4 freight, and for middling Atlantic, with 7-16 d freight. SOUTHERN MARKETS : Our mail advices from the South report a moderately active business there during the week. Factors still obtained full prices, notwith standing continued heavy receipts at the ports, and dull accounts from Liverpool—middling being worth 111 c, to 111 c. at New Orleans, and 111 c. at Mobile. - By telegraph, a week later from these points, we learn that the receipts at New Orleans -bad run up to 79,000 bales, consequent upon a furtuer of the Missis ippi and its tributaries, the lir;: o r lit: or water then being 4 feet 4 inches below liiglt-17110T mark / and still rising. The week's deliveries at Mobile amounted to 37,090 bales. Such immense receipts coming simultaneously with unfavourable advice& from Europe, very reasonably checked operations, and the week's sales at both points only reach 57,000 bales. Factors, however, have shown re arkable firmness ; and though occasional cheap pur chases have been made during the week, prices cannot be quoted any lower. New Orleans middling being still worth 111 to 114 c., and Mobile 111 c. The quieter feel ing has also extended to the Atlantic markets, but-without producing any change in prices. Thus, although the week's sales at all . points amount to little more than half of the receipts, prices have been firmly supported every where. Freights have shown an easier tendency during the week, while Sterling Exchange is generally un changed. RECEIPTS.—The receipts this week amount to 152,000 bales, being scarcely so heavy as was anticipated last week, in view of the large deliveries at New Orleans and Mobile advised by telegraph, but nearly equal to the largest week in any previous year. The total receipts now amount to 1,772,060 bales, showing an excess of 721,000 over last year, and 298,000 over 1856-7. Taking the ultimate extent of the crop at 3,600,000 bales, we have thus already received 49 per cent. of the whole— a much larger proportion than has been received to same time in any former year. By telegraph we learn that the week's receipts •at New Orleans exceed any previous one, owing to the tributaries being now navigable. The Mississipi is still rising, and there is every prospect of large receipts for some _ time, limited only by the capacity of the transport ser vice. Everything points to an early completion of the marketing of the crop. The excess over former years will probably continue to increase until the bulk of the crop has been received, after which it ii reasonable to look for a rapid decrease. Our statistics of river receipts show a large increase from each river and district over last year, except from the Yazoo River, and from that quarter only 13,000 bales have thus far been • reeeived against 25,000 to same time last year, which is mainly to be accounted for by the damage caused by the overflow of last summer. EXPOILTS.-The exports this week amount to 103,000 bales, of which 58,000 to Great Britain ; 21,000 to France, and 24,000 to other foreign ports; while the American spinners have taken 23,000 bales. The total to Great. Britain is now 535,000 bales against 334,000 last year; to France, 250,000 against 111,000 last year, and to other foreign ports 131,000 against •84,000 last year ; and the home trade have thus far taken 254,000 against 41,000 to same date last year, The stock continues to accumulate, and this week amounts to 700,000 bales against 532,000 last year, and 695,000 in 1856-7. The number of vessels now loading at the south is- 73 to Great Britain against 46 last year ; 17 to France against 34, and 66 to other foreign ports against 30. Freights have had .rather a declining tendency during the week, and close dull at the rates shown in the above table of prices. PROSPECTS : vhb course of receipts justifies the opinion we lately expressed; that by February (probably the first week in that month), the excess in receipts over the cor responding period last year, will amount to from 900,000 to 950,000 bales, and an excess of 1,000,000 bales by tha middle of the month is not impossible. That is to say, that against 1,500,000 bales, received to that date last year, we may have received 2,500,000 this year. A knowledge of this fact is a severe test of the strength.of the market, and will continue to be so till a decided falling off in the receipts commences. NEILL BROS. AND CO BREADSTUFFS.—The flour market was very quiet to day, but prices have not undergone any change of moment. Holders generally are disposed to realise, but refuse to make any concession while buyers refuse to pur chase to any extent, unless at a decline. The demand is confined almost exclusively to the supplying of the immediate and pressing wants of the trade ; the bulk of the business being for the city trade. The receipts are light, but the stock in store is unusually large. , The wheat market remains very dull, but prices, though firmly maintained, have not undergone any change of moment. Indian corn is firm, but the transactions are only_ to a moderate extent. Puovnuorrs.—There is a fair demand for P2rk, and the market is a shade firmer, though transactions are not to a very large extent. In Beef there is only a moderate business doing, and the market is steady and unchanged. Prime Mess Beef and Beef Hams are quiet and nominal at our quotations. Bacon is in better demand and steady. Cut meats are dull and nominal, at 61c to 61c for shoulders, and 91c to 91c for hams ; sales 735 brls hams at 91c. Dressed hogs are firm, and held at 6-Ic to 8c for the whole range. Lard rules very firm, at 111 c to llic. Butter is in good re quest, and steady, at 12c to 20c for Ohio; 16c to 18c for common, and 21c to 25c for choice State dairy. Cheeie is firm at 8c for Ohio, and Bic to 91c for State. FREIGHTS continue quiet. Engagements to Liverpool ? 100 brls. pork at 2s 6d, and 30 casks rice on private terms. To London, 50 tres_ beef at ss, 3d; 500 bags eloVer seed at 25s ; 100 brls navy beef at 4s 3d ; and 100 tres ditto at 5s 9d.

LIVERPOOL, POLICE INTELLIGENCE, BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD, the following eiieu-nistances- course of the morning, Went into . Cherry-lane In reply to , His Worship, tlie man said uired how many lam aweif som• hina at once. and be Enghuri alone for England. and , the world' He saw the meeting between , the }Emperor a the French and: Queen Victoria,. and when he saw the Empenor'S " per jured lips upon her hallowed cheek the blood rushed back to'his heart; for he thought that there was a holy,. good creature desecrated by the lips of a perj ared despot." CURIOUS , GAEE.—A large and rather respectable-lock ing female, apparently about forty years of, age, who gave the name of Ellen. Ellis, was charged by the proprietor of the Crown Hotel,. Lawton-street, with being drunk ands disorderly. The• gentleman said the prisoner was a cook in his-employment,. and on- the previous night she got leave to go out for a short time. She came back in about an hour, quite drunk, and behaved in a most disorderly manner, so that he handed her over to the police. The officer said that on searching her at Bride well, there was a note found on her, dated 28th July, 1857, froth Beaumaris, and addressed to a Mr. Holden. A portion of the note appeared to be in reference to herself, and dirkted Mr. Holden, if he could find out . Ellen Ellis, to hand her over to the Liverpool police, as she was suspected of having stoleri'aJo - oking-glass from the Liverpool Arms' Hotel, at Beautnaris. Mr. Mansfield asked the complainant who Mr. Holden was, and he replied he did not exactly know, but he supposed him to be a house-agent. The officer who had the case said the. note was got_ carefully folded up in other paper. Mr. : He fined ly, or to be Mansfield said it was rather a, strange cast her 5s and costs for being drunk and ctisorder imprisoned for three days. STABBING BY A FEMALE.—Sarah Monks was charged with having stabbed Margaret Wilson. Mr. Bluck defended. The complainant said she was . crossing ChiSenhale-street bridge, about eight o'clock the previous evening, in company with another female and a young man, when the prisoner met her, and, having had some previous disturbance, the prisoner struck her with a knife on the head, inflicting a small wound. Mr. Block produced witnesses to show that the prisoner was not the person who struck the complainant, and one of them stated she had struck the girl with a small-poker, and it was with that the wound was inflicted, and not with a knife. Surgeon Gilham proved that the cut was a clean one, and could not have been done with a poker, Mr. Clough said there was great perjury at one side or other. He was sorry to say there was great perjury committed in the Court; and it was time to put a stop to it. He would make inquiry into the case of these persons, and asked for a remand. The prisoner was remanded for a " DOUCIIG THE GLIMMER." John Brophy, . a wild looking old man, apparently a lunatic, was charged under From the evidence of two or three witiiesses, it appeared that the prisoner, in the 4 • road, Marybone, Oriel-street, and other places, breaking all the lamps he came to, by flinging stones into them. )s were y was four, the damage being 10s 6d. No doubt the prisoner broke the FRANCE AND AUSTRIA The article of the Constitutionnel as to the panic on the Bourse, reported by telegraph, comes to hand to-day. The Paris correspondent of the Times, says : It vas drawn up af - the - Fereign Office yesierday,- as it stands to-day, in the Onstitutionnel. It was written on office paper, in the usual official fOrm, " a rivulet of manuscript running through a meadow of margin," in that peculiar fair hand familiar to clerks and private secretaries, and, in fine, bearing all over , an official character. The writer attributes the alarm to three 'causes—the words addressed by 'the Emperor to Baron Hubner at the New-year's-day levee, the speech of the Kin.- of Sardinia, and the marriage of Prince Napoleon with the Princess of Savoy ; and he expresses his surprise that they should produce such effects. The article first explains as to the words of the Emperor to Baron Hubner : The words of the Emperor ! What do they contain ? Only an expression of regret that the diplomatic relations between France awl Austria are less cordial than they have been, and an assurance that this discord' has not in any way changed the personal sentiments of the Sovereigns towards each other. It then states that " every one knows that there were differences between Austria and France" as regards the execution of the Treaty of Paris and the proliosed Austrian intervention in Servia. The King of Piedmont's speech is .then alluded to, and justified as quite natural under the cir cumstances. As to the marriage of Prince Napo leon with a Princess of the House of Savoy, it will certainly " draw still closer the bonds of political union between France and Piedmont," but the sympathy of France for Piedmont was no secret. The writer thus concludes: If, contrary to all expectations, hostilities should arise, the French Government would certainly not hesi tate to adopt the measures best calculated to protect the interests of the country; but we are convinced beforehand that in such an hypothesis it would not deviate in the least from that rectitude and thoughtful prudence which it invariably displays in all international relations. We must, therefore, most earnestly deprecate the unfounded alarms arising from the gencral situation of affairs, and the supposed inten tions of the French goVernment ; its policy during the last six years has been one continued protest against such alarms, and leaves no-room to doubt of its firm resolution, under all circumstances and at all times, to have justice and the public opinion. of Europe on its side. INDIA AND CHINA. THE CALCUTTA MAIL The Times' Second. Edition has a letter from its own correspondent at Calcutta, brought by the mail of December 8, the news by which was given in our paper of Friday. The letter is a day later in date than the newspapers, whose' contents have been already given, but it contains no news of interest. We have also a letter from Hong Kong, dated November 30. We read :-" Our advices from Shanghai are to the 22nd inst., but contain little interest, beyond the publication of the new tariff and trade regulations, which, although not pub lished officially, may, we think, be depended on. I send you a copy of the documents in quastion." The export duties on tea and silk remain as before, and the only reduction of any importance is on cotton manufactures. Opium is legalised, and the import duty fixed at 30 taels per picul. This is somewhat under the amount levied at present-at the. southern ports, but above that exacted at Shanghai, - which has been strictly paid, although not acknoWledged by the Imperial government. The transit duties to and from the interior are fixed at one-half the amounts levied at the ports, and this applies to all imports and exports, with the exception of opium, which is not included in this arrangement. The tariff regulations have been signed by Lord Elgin and Mr. Reed, but Baron Gros had not attached his signature when the mail left Shanghai ; but it was understood that he would do so; and then proceed to Hong Kong • where his Excellency Mr. Reed has already arrived in the United Steamer Minnesota. The movements of Lord Elgin are uncertain, and all that is known of the Yangtsze Kianhr expedition is that the steamers Retribution and Furious had grounded about forty miles from Woosung, but had got off after being lightened: The gunboats had found the proper channel, and the expedition would proceed forthwith. The Chinese merchants look with great anxiety to the result of this expedition. At Canton - all remains quiet, and business proceeds without interruption. His Excellency Sir John Bowring left for Manilla yesterday, on sick 'certificate, in her Majesty's steamer Magicienne, and the government of the colony is vested in the Lieutenant Governor, the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Caine. THE WAR QUESTION. The news from the Continent continues excit ing. An article in Friday's Paris Constitutional —a semi-official organ—speaks more of the ques tions respecting Servia and the Danube as being at the bottom of the bad understanding .between France and Austria than the affairs of Italy. But, it adds, that the marriage of Prince Napoleon with the Princess Clotilde consolidates the alliance with Sardinia. There will be no war, however, unless treaties are broken or menaced. This evi dently refers to the alleged intention.of Austria to march troops into •Servia in violation of the Treaty of Paris, and it means that if Austria does so, France will declare . war against her. From all we can learn, the German papers are in favour of peace, but they evidently are of opinion that, should war break out between Austria and France, the former Power ought to receive the support of the several German StateS; and defend the Rhine. The Piedmontese government, on account of the despatch of Austrian reinforcements to Italy, has resolved that its own garrisons. shall be shifted nearer to the frontiers of Lainbardy. This creates the danger of a collision between the Austrian and. Sardinian troops. IRELAND_ From Ireland, the news is that the gentry of that part of the kingdom are preparing to organise. for the purpose of forcing changes in the law to protect life and property more effectually. The Marquis of llown.shire, probably as indis creet a nobleman as the peerage list contains, is at the head of the movement, which proposes to. reform the local magistracy, by removing all who hold popular sympathies, to raise the quali fications of jurors,, to suppress public-horses, and to bribe the police. to get up prosecutions. The whole thing reads like a joke, but the Irish gentry mean it for a reality. A more sensible project is attributed •to the Government with respect to the office of Lord Liontenant. If the statement be true, a bill will be brought in during .the session to abolish the office, not by the Ministry, but by a private member, and the 'Governmen will give it ne opposition in any of its. stages_ MR. ROEBUCK ON_REPORM. Mr. Roebuck, M.P. has addressed his consti tuents at Sheffield. His remarks were chiefly in respect to Reform, but he made several very de preciative allusions to the House of Commons, which he termed one of the most spendthrift that possibly could exist—this effect he endeavoured to trace from the 101. householder. Mr Roebuck thinks that the suffrage should be given to every man occupying a house rated to the poor, who has lived in it for twelve mouths, and who is registered. He desires to disfranchise boroughs having fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, and to accord the 120 seats thus gained to the large towns and to York shire and Lancashire. Mr. Roebuck does not think that the coining Reform Bill will be the great business of the next session. He believes that Europe is on the eve of war, and that our foreign relations will interfere with our domestic concerns. Our alliances ought to be with freedom alone, and rather than be the a eth e ally of . a despot like Louis Napoleon, lie would ‘ 4 break His Worship in broken • and the rep] His Worship said : lamps for the purpose of getting into gaol, but he would prevent one of his objects in going there namely, that of getting meat to'eat. He senicnced him to one month's imprisonment for each lamp, in default of paying the damage, and said : TheSC are four successive month's impriionment, so you will not get any meat whilst you are in gaol IMPORTANT. TO ,SOPIE'TIES. AND COLLECTORS.— Detective-officer John Scott brought up a rather respectable-looking person, named Thomas Scaife, who lived at 11, Martin-street, West Derby-road, on a charge of having embezzled certain- sums of money belonging . to the Royal Liver Benevolent Society, of which Mr. John Lawrence is the secretary and head officer, 16, Prescot street, in this town. Mr. Bluck appeared for _ the _ . prosecution, and said : I appear in-this case on behalf of Mr._ John_ Lawrence, the secretary of the ,Royal Liver Burial and Benefit SC)ciety,— one of the largest and most respectable societies in the town, having also branches in all the towns in England, and a very extensive establishment in London, and over the three kingdoms,—who is compelled to prosecute the prisoner at the bar for . a selies of embezzle- ments of the monies belonging to the society and its members The prisoner Seacte was employed by - - - - Mr. Lawrence, in February last, as one of thecollectors' of the society, and his salary.was 6s. a week, • and 4s 2d in the pound commission on all he collected. The prisoner was either at the time, or some time after, acquainted with a person named John Whittington, and his wife, and ho solicited them to become members of the society, arid it would appear that he had received money from theni on behalf of the society, but he never paid it over to Mr. Lawrence or the society, 'for him. Indeed,. the case was so clear that the only course left to the prisoner was to plead guilty, and he had already written a letter to Mr. Lawrence, fully admitting his guilt, and pleading poverty and distress as the cause, but that was no excuse for such conduct, and although Mr. Lawrence had no vindictive feeling towards him, nor did he wish to punish him—yet he had a public duty to perform, and that must be done for the protection of the society and the public. generally. Ido not want to compare the respectability of this society, and its excellent Management, with that of any other, but I cannot help referring .to a case that I was employed in last week, against the Victoria Society, for a poor old lady, and the conduct of that society, as• contrasted with the Royal Liver Society, is very remark able. Mr. Hutchison, one of the magistrates who heard the case against the Victoria Society, was one of its• patrons ; and although he was obliged, by one of the rules of the body, to decide against me, he spoke in very strong language indeed of the conduct of the society, and he has since written to the president; of that body, to. have his name erased from it as a patron, and thatif after the notice, they used his name in any way, he would take law proceedings against them. That • letter has also _ appeared _in the newspapers. Now, the Royal Liver Society, is not . One of that nature ; and I will show the fairness which they practice towards a person who might be out of benefit, but who had been previously a member. Rule twenty-six. is as follows :—" The committee may grant to relatives of any member, that has died out of benefit, through . want 'of employment; sickness, or any loss whereby the weekly subscriptions could not be made good, any sum from ten shillings to'llve•pounds ; providing, at all Oink, that such member has not lost his benefit throug • his own iiezlect! And, in order to show you the respectability. Of this society, and its great prosperity, after paying enormous sums during the year, they have cleared, for the past twelve months, no.less a sum than £2,426 45.. 3d. Mr. Scott has himself examined the books, and finds. his statement perfectly correct. (Mr. Scott said it, was quite correct.) The accounts have been duly audited and certified. They have large branches of business aver England, Ireland, and Scotland, and although. it was not the wish of Mr. Lawrence to punish the prisone4 yet for the protection of such an extensive society,. and for the purpose of being an example and a warning to others, there was no alternative but to proceed against him. Mx, Mansfield said, there was no doubt. of the• respecta bility of the society, and he thought it most advisable, in all cases where collectors behaved. dishonest, that they should be prosecuted, and when it became known that no mercy would be shown to them,, they would then act cautiously and honestly towards the society. Mr. Bluck said, lam very glad to hear that expression of opinion from the bench, I have no doubt it will have due weight with the public ; it is not for the sums received, but for the principle Mr. Lawrence con tends. Mr. Mansfield : is quite right he is doing his duty very properly. John Whittington, was then called, and said, I am a car-driver„ I know the prisoner • he solicited me to become a member of the society in February last I was to pay a penny a week, each, for. myself and my- wife-Ba. a month. I paid him since that time ; paid him 14d. on, the 15th Feb., and paid him Bd. three times since, and tux wife paid' him the remainder. MT wife died on 'Wednesday last., I applied to the society before she died, and then I was told that the prisoner was not a col-, lector. -Mr. Black said Mr., Lawrence had the power of appointing collectors,, and he did appoint the prisoner.on the usual terms, but Mr. Lawrence would tell his Worship how the prisoner had acted. Mr, Lawrence said the.pri soner was appointed, and, got a collecting book, &e.,, but all the money he paid, into the society was threepence, and since that time he (Mr. Lawrence) never saw the prisoner , nor the book. He should pay in what money he received every Thursday night. Mr, Mansfield (having read the letter written by the prisoner to Mr. Lawrence) said, it is admitted in this letter, that the prisoner did not pay any money that he. received, on account of the society, to Mr. 'Lawrence, and it becomes quitenecessary that Mr. Lawrence sh ould protect the society. It is his duty to save the funds intrusted to his care, and as the secretary of a large and important society like this, lre is'acting very properly by prosecuting the prisoner. The body, as a public one, are obliged to do what, per haps, they would not do in their private capacity as indi viduals, The prisoner must he committed for trial, I am glad Mr. Lawrence has taken this very proper course, and I trust it will be a warning to oollectors. The prisoner was then committed. Mr. muck said, it was right to state, that from the commence- Mont of the society up to the present moment, there - never was a. summons issued against it for the payment of any claim, nor was there any dispute with them. Mr, Mv, s _ f;eld was very glad to hear that of the society, MONETARY AND! COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening. In the Cotton Market there is no change to notice. The sales to-day were-about 6,000 bales, including 500 on speculation and for export, at about previous rates.. The Liverpool Share Market way hardly so firm to-day- The following were the transactions:— Caledonian, 871 ; Eastern Counties, 12 9-16 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 699 ; Lancashire and Yerkship, 973, 979, 97f ; London and North Western, 963, 96;1 7 Midland, 102 a, 1024, 1021. ; St. Helen's Railway and Canal,. 74 ; Dovers, 22 5-16, 22 t ; Warrington and Stock-. port, 81, 8 5-16 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 81; Great Luxembourg, 7; St.. Helen's Railway and Canal, 5 per Cent., 108. Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co., in their cir cular of this evening remark: Although it is generally admitted that the year has opened under the most favourable' auspices in regard to the trade of the country, the activity and improvement in our Produce Markets which had been expected after the holidays, have been generally checked by the unsettled state of politics on the Continent. This disturbed con dition of foreign affairs has caused much disappointment, though, as yet, it has exercised no material influence upon prices • caution and uneasiness, how ever , are evi dently manifested. On the other hand, the Funds and, Public Securities have been thereby greatly depressed, both here and upon the Continent, and the desire of realising has almost amounted to a panic. Such a state of matters is greatly to be deplored, and an early settle ment of existing disputes is greatly to be desired. In the Money Market there is no notable change ; the demand, which had been large, as usual, at the turn of the year, has somewhat abated. The minimum rate of • us a discount at the Bank of England still remai ns at 21 per cent. There is rather less. animation in the Stock Exchange Markets, but an anxious feeling still prevails with regard _to the state .of the Paris slight decline, and 'a reactionary tendency was at once apparent on this side, circulation being given to a variety of rumours, which, although not authenticated, caused a partial return of the panic feeling noticed early in the week. Consols, how ever, are not lower, being supported by purchases for investements, and the continued easiness of money. There is also an indisposition on the part of many speculators to indulge in gloomy views regarding the future course of political affairs. Under these circumstances the quotations exhibit much strength. Consols at noon were 951 to 951 for MOney, and 954- to 951 for Account. Towards the close in consequence of favourable neWs from the Paris Bourse, the market became buoyant, and Consols closed at 951, to 951 for Money, and 951 for the Account. The NeW Threes and.

In the London Railway Share Market, to-day , the transactions were limited, and a slight decline occurred in prices. Eastern Counties have receded to 621 ; Great Westerns to 56 and 564 ; North Westerns to 961 0 96a ; Midlands to 1024, 1021 ; North British to 614, 62. Great Northerns have improved to 1064 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire to 974, 974. The Foreign and Color2ial lines are also slightly depressed.

Bank and Miscel lanious Shares are a shade firmer. Oriental Bank have improved to 38;4 384 ; Union of Australia t 6 354 ; and Western Bank of London have declined to 301. Australian Agricultural are steady at 354 ; and London General Omnibus Company at • Respecting the movements in Mines during the week, the Mining Journal of to -day says : Bath copper and tin have advanced in prfee this week, and the demand for lead has so much increased that, with the small stocks on hand, it is probable a good ad vance may take place in this metal also. These circum stances are very important to mining operations, and are giving great impetus to them in Ce - rn‘6ll. It is also a significant fact, and one which should be properly weighed by speculators, that among the largest buyers of mine shares of late have been local investors. The general stock markets have been agitated by all sorts of rumours, chiefly, we suspect, for stock-jobbing purposes. The Mining Share Market has been well supported, and a good demand kept up for dividend, progressive and spe culative shares. The movements of the Precious Metals during the past week have not been very important. The imports have been small, comprising £15,339 from the United States, by the Arabia, and £30,400 by the Kangaroo ; £58,700 from Australia, by the Teviot, via Suez; £10,785 from Africa, by the Athenian ; £991 from the Peninsula, by the Alhambra; and about £66,000 in Silver from the Continent, making a total of £182,215. The exports have comprised £81,230 in silver to Bom bay, by the Orissa; and shipments to the Con tinent through the London Custom-house, estimated at £36,633 ; the total amounting to about £117,863. The Gazette statement of the movement of the Precious Metals, for the week ending, Wednesday last, gives the following totals, viz :—lmports of gold, £96,587 ; exports of gold, £78,425; imports of silver, £96,247 ; exports of silver, £563,772. The Mediterranean Extensim Telegraph Coln, pany have received a •telegram from their superintendent at Malta, to the effect, that on the arrival of the steamer Elba, operations were commenced by underrunning 7 the cable, in the course of which, an entanglement was met with off the Bay of Malta. On. Monday, however, owing to a pie of wind, operations were for the time suspended. In the event of no further impediment having occurred, it is probable that telegraphic- communication- between Malta and Cagliari will soon be resumed. The traffic returns of railways in the United Kingdom for the week ending Jan. S, amounted to £412;880, and for the-corresponding period of last year to £381,500, showing an , increase of £31,380: The gross receipts on the eight railways having ; their termini in., the metropolis amounted, for the week ending as above, to £1.Z3,566 ; and for the corresponding week of last year to .£165,294, showing an increase of £6,272.

Bnt from this must be deducted,. £1,930, the decrease on the Great Northern ) . leaving the increase as. above, 46,272. The receipts on the other lines. in the United Kingdom amounted to £241,314, and for the corresponding period of 1858; to £216,206,, showing an increase of £25,108 in the receipts of these lines ; which, tickled to the increase on the metropolitan lines, makes the total increase £31,380 as;compared with the corresponding week of 1858.
