The Oregon, of Liverpool, Captain Edward O'Flabertyr
despatched by Messrs. Sabel and Cortis, with 346 pall'
sengers, in connection with the Grand Trunk Bathyal
Company, arrived at Quebec on Monday morning, June;
15th. Previous to leaving the vessel, the entire body
the passengers assembled on the poop and on the ma'
deck, when Mr. Staines, in a highly complimentary speed!,
presented to the worthy captain the following address

TO CAPTAIN 'EDWARD O'FLAHERTY.

Captain O'Flaherty, in acknowledging the compliment
paid him with the true spirit of a sailor, disclaimed 00
merit for having endeavoured to do his duty, but "Wit
pleased to find he had been so fortunate as to secure the'
good opinion.
Mr. Staines then presented to Captain O'Flaherty the
gentlemen who had signed the address, and after a 11204
lusty cheer from the passengers, the agreeable proceeding
terminated.
The passengers disembarked on Tuesday afternoon, and
a large proportion of them at once proceeded to the Gran.
Trunk Railway Station at Point Levi, where a special
was being got ready to convey them to their several dents'
nations on the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. Mora
than fifty of the passengers dined at the Victoria Hotel;
and having partaken of the hospitalities of that well'
conducted establishment, the entire party proceeded oil
their journey westward, in the best possible health auci
spirits.
We learn from a, correspondent, that the train strived
there in safety and in due course, at nine o'clock on Wed'
nesday, the 17th.

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS GOLD ROBBERY 01%
SHIPBOARD.

Information has been received by the metropolitan
police of another robbery of money from one of tte vessel°
which lately left the port of London. It appears that the
screw steam-ship Armenia has lately cleared out of the neli
Victoria Docks, on a voyage to the Mauriias. On Wed-
nesday, the Ist instant, Mr. Robinson
.merchant of Token:
house-yard, City, placed on board, while the ship was still
in dock, a small specie bog, containing 2,000 sovereiglt
which was cansigned to a gentleman at the port to which
the vessel was bound. The box, which was about eighk,
inches by ten in size, was delivered into the care of Mr'
Macneil, the chief officer, and a receipt duly taken. The
Armenia was also engaged to take out the mails to the
Mauritius, and had a considerable sum of government
money on board for the use of the authorities, amounting
to something lile £52,000, The 2,000 sovereigns were
taken on board in the middle of the day, and placed in the
captain's cabin. The government money came down on
the Thursday, and Mr. Macneil having seen the other
money on the same morning safe, when he left it the del
before, went to the cabin to have it put away with the
£52,000 in the ship's strong room, but, to his surprise,
was usable to find it. A most rigid search all over the
vessel immediately fllowed, bat without any satisfactori
results. The police were speedily apprised of the cireany
stances, and in the meantime the ship hauled out of (104
and proceeded to Woolwich. On Sunday mornin the
chief mate went to one of the water-closets, and what via°
most unusual at the time, he found it locked. On forcing
open the doer, the first thing found was the empty see;
reign box lying on the floor. The robbery is a perfeeb
mystery, for which no one seems able to account, as there
-was not an individual either of the ship's company or
otherwise upon whom the slightest suspicion could legit':
mately rest. The police are making what inquiry theY
can, but with each limited materials their labours are net
likely to he successful. The sovereigns are al! new, 311"'
had not been long out of the mint.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN THE QUEEN

BENCH.

On Tuesday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, two
individuals e,itered the Queen's Bench Prison as visitors to,
a debtor named FZobertson, who is undergoing a term (/`
imprisonment in he remand ward. A short time after they
entered agonizing cries were heard to proceed from Robll4
son's room, and, some of the officials and prisoners rnshl
up the unfortunate man was discovered frightfully wound!:
and covered -pith blood. It would appear that one of of;
two men, a for igner, after some alterca ion between tu
parties, had. drawn a poniard and inflicted several desperate
wounds upcn Robertson in the neck and face, the WI
being struck with such force that the blade of the ponia.rl
was broken. Both men were at once seized and earri7
beforo the magstrate at the Southwark police court, sr
after a short examination, were remanded until this day
(Thursday). The victim of this murderous outrage lies. to
a most precarious state, utterly speechless and partt,Ar.
paralysed. The occurrence has created a painful WO
ment among the inmates of the, prison.

LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening.
The sales of Cotton to-day were 10,000 bales,
of which 3,000 were on speculation and for 'export,
the market closing very firmly at the qu'otationa,
which are raised 1-16 d to kd per lb. over last
Friday. Messrs Wright, jun., in their circular
for America, issued this morning, make the follow-
ing remarks concerning the movements of the
trade during the week :
We closed our last circular report of 3rd instant on a firm
Cotton market, and at very full rates for all classes of
American description. The demand in the early part of
the present week was to an average extent, and although
liberally met by holders, extreme prices had to be paid for
such as changed hands, extended sales and increasing
animation, at gradually hardening rates, being the ruling
feature since the receipt of advicea per Canada, on Tuesday,
Which, douhless, influenced a better trade in the manufac-
turing districts, and which is stimulated by the
continued propitious weather for harvest prospects,
accompanied by a growing feeling in favour of early
relaxation in discount rates for money accommoda-
tion. Viewing the limited receipts at, and amount
of Cotton in, the American seaports, it does not
148 ere probable after satisfying the direct Continental
~enlend, and furnishing domestic spinners with an average
ltuiniite', much will remain far export to this country, and.
ts trashy character in connection with our rapidly dimi-
nishing stock, and wasty nature of' much that is held, is a
!natter calling for far deeper consideration than has hitherto
been directed to it, especially under the unfavourable
reports jeopardising the next yield. European politics
are rather unsettled, but their aspect does not excite pre-
eent
iou unessiner, although they form the subject of dis-
Itss and surmis
mes for results. The next India advices,
i.l:tv . ever, engross ore attention, and are anxiously looked
convnereial circles, the uncertainty of their tenor
keepingbeak operations in check, and have no doubt biased the
directors in making no change this week in the rate
°I interest, confidently expected by the steady influx of
the Precious metals into its coffers. The total sales of the
!week amount to 67,120 bales, of which 41,800 are American.
Re_eulators have taken 7,110, and exporters 7,640, leaving
e1z,370 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for
same time is 43,530 bales, of which 34,997 are American.
The quantity known to be at sea from American ports is
about 3,000 hales'

The Money Marina keeps pretty active, and full

and Co , in.their circular, remark :-
The position of the Money Market since our eircular of

in the Bank of England has been considerably augmented,

"Tether with the

Maed__s that nalght otherwise have been realised by our ex-
trade have doubtless been absorbed. Whether the
vreile, of the large arrivals of specie that we are at present
ehe-elug, in return for our immense exports, will be to
a eapen money materially, remains to be seen, the in-
n of capricious causes having so powerful a bearing
"Ann monetary matters.

The C)rn Trade remains very dull everywhere
throughout the country, and a decline has occurred
in the principal articles of consumption. At our
Market to-day there was little doing, and pricer

Wheat was Is. to 2s. lower, and the sales were of
a very retail description. New York Flour was
offered at 455. per sack.
Trade in Manchester is steady, and prices are
looking upwards. The accounts in anticipation of
