guard against every danger—eschew the Times
and MuLocK, and resume the non-interference that
gained the honest and straightforward approba-
tion of the British people, and rendered him, as

order said have been sent to the Russian fleet in
the Euxine to return at once to Sebastopol, it
would now appear that several of the war vessels
of the CZAR had recently been recognised off
Batoum and off Trebizond. Vigilance, in truth,
would seem to be more than ever requisite on
the part of the French and British Admirals now
that the combined fleets have emerged from the
Bosphorus—the squadron of Admiral DUNDAS
directing its course along the Asiatic coast, and
that of Admiral HAMELIN along the European.
Another outrage like that at Sinope cannot of
course be expected under these circumstances :
but we may at any time now venture to anticipate
news of a collision between the opposing maritime
combatants. What cannot but enhance the soli-
citude of those least sanguine of success is
the remembrance that the present, season is
of all the most perilous in the Black Sea, in re-
gard to the manifold difficulties of its navigation.
It is under this extraordinary complication of
doubts, and fears, and events, and rumours, that
Ministers will now, in less than a fortnight, have
to unburden their troubled consciences before
Parliament. Having succeeded in complicating
the Question still at issue to an absolutely
bewildering state of entanglement ; having,
by their blundering system of protracted and
ineffectual negotiations, brought the country
to that melancholy position, that it rests
at this moment in the alternative between a
discreditable peace and an inveterate and impla-
cable war ; having cast the shadow of a dark
suspicion upon the Court, and overwhelmed them-
selves with an unpopularity but seldom paralleled
—Ministers are at this moment on the eve of
entering upon one of the stormiest sessions
upon record, with high prices at home—and
abroad the prospect of a conflict breaking out,
such as must, in all likelihood, extend from coun-
try to country until it involves in its vortex the
whole of the great Powers of Christendom.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 500 Ameri-
can and 500 Surat were taken on speculation. The
market closed with more spirit, and prices of all
kinds without alteration. New cotton moves off
briskly, the demand exceeding the supply. The
sales comprised 4,500 American, 600 Egyptian at
6d. to Bd., 800 Surat at 3d. to 4id., and 40 Sea
Island at ls. Old. to is. 3d. per lb. Railway shares
were flat.

By the advices received by the Pacific from New
York we find that the total gold deposits at the
United States Mint during 1853 were 53,367,325
dols., which, as compared with those of the pre- ,
ceding year, exhibit an increase. The stock market
was active, but sales predominated.
In proof of the very late intelligence we may ex-
pect from Australia by way of Panama, when steam
navigation is in operation on the Pacific side, there
are dates of Oct. 17, from Sydney, and Oct. 11,
from Melbourne, to hand this morning, brought by
sailing vessels to the Isthmus, and had not neglect
existed, there should have been Sydney papers of
Oct. 19 put on board one ship. This would have
given us news of two days later date than we al-
ready have. The season's wool will come forward
rather slowly from Australia it is said, and the
scarcity of shipping will be felt.
The Panama Star of Dec. 21, gives a statement
which will give rise to much conjecture—viz., that
a mutiny took place on the high seas on board of
an English vessel, name not given, carrying 260
colonists to the British possessions. The ship had
just put into Valdivia, and the English admiral on
the station had ordered some officers and marines
to proceed to that place and take into custody the
ringleaders of the revolt. The statement does not
enable us to surmise even the destination of this
ship.

On the 27th inst. the English brig Ripley an
chored in Valparaiso from London, bound for
Caldera. She had been 153 days out, her bul-
warks cleared away and otherwise damaged, and
her crew ill of the scurvy.
At the General Meeting of the London Joint
Stock Bank proprietors just held, the following
highly satisfactory report, showing increased busi-
ness and profits, was adopted :
" The directors have the honour of presenting to the
shareholders the half-yearly accounts up to the 31st ult.
which show a net profit for the half-year of 50,695/. Os.
7d., to which is to be added 7,5401. 3s. undivided profit
of he previous half-year, making for present disposal, a
total of 58,2351. 3s. 7d., and they have applied 24,0001.
of this sum to a dividend, after the rate of 81. per cent.
per annum ; 34,0001. to a bonus of 11. s. 4d. per share,
and have carried the fractional remainder to the guaran-
tee fund.
"It is with much regret they have to acquaint the
isl.4pholdors. with the loss by death of two members of
to hoard, William Shadbolt, Esq., and Sir Richard
G.Q.X the former of whom had been -in the
direction from the commencement of the bank, and both
of them were greatly esteemed and respected by their
colleagues.
" Notice has been already given that the following
gentlemen would on this occasion retire by the estab-
lished rotation, viz.:—Alderman Sir James Duke,
Bart., M.P., Archibald Hastie, Esq., Ambrose Moore,
Esq., John Timothy Oxley, Esq., and William Shad-
bolt, Esq., and that they offered themselves for re-elec-
tion ; under the present circumstances, however, the
meeting will be able to proceed to fill up only four of
the vacant seats, reserving for an extraordinary general
meeting, which will be shortly summoned for the pur-
pose, to elect successors to the two directors whose loss
is now lamented.
" The dividend and bonus will be payable on and
after Friday, the 27th instant.
BRITISH MixEs.—A few steady buyers had had
the effect of producing the following quotations
to-day :—Alfred Consols, 24 to 25 ; Cwm Daren,
14 to / ; Sortridge Consols, 30s. to 355. ; Great
Crimis, 1 ; West Darlington, 71 to 8 ; Great
Wheal Fortune, 12 to 13 ; Trehane, 81 to 9* ;
Hope Valley, 31 to / ; Molland, to ; Hugo's,
1 to 1t ; Marthe Valley, 4i to 5 ; Tremollett
Downs, to ; Tavey Consols, 2} to 3.
The Blueish Securities opened this morning at a
decline of per cent., Consols being 92k, and some
large amounts of stock were delivered. This fall
has been since aggravated, and there have been
transactions at 91/ to 92. The news from the
East, now hourly expected, is likely to be so im-
portant, that there is the utmost solicitude felt, and
buyers hold aloof. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been at 931 fzs, and since 931 I.
Exchequer Bills are 7s. to.los. premium. South
Sea Stock is at 115.
Foreign Stocks are dull and drooping. Mexican,
23i 2. Spanish are not dealt in. Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. 62i. For Russian no prices are

marked.

to this day are in round figures as under :-

Railway Shares have declined again, and, com-
pared with the prices at which they opened this
morning, there is a reaction of A to 1 per cent.
Great Western were 81/, and are now 801. This
is the result of the decline in the English Funds.
North-Western, South-Western, Caledonian, and
the other principal lines have been affected to
nearly a similar extent. French shares have gone
down I.os. to 155., and there have been numerous
sales of Strasburg, Northern of France, and Lux-
embourg.
The current prices for the Jamaica Mines not
officially quoted, are this morning, as follows :
Jamaica,_ *to premium ; Metcalfe, to / pre-
mium ; Sue River, discount to par ; Port Royal,
to premium.
The Gold Mine Shares keep very quiet. St.
John del Rey Shares are not so good. The Joint-
Stock Banks are weaker, and in the Australian
Agricultural there was a decline of 1/.

THE WELLINGTON DOCK COMPANY.—The directors of
the Wellington Dock Company have notified that, not-
withstanding the state of the money-market, they have
received sufficient support to induce them to proceed
with the undertaking ; the facilities that would be
afforded to the trade of London from its position, ad-
joining the Greenwich Railway, having caused it to be
regarded with strong interest. They have accordingly
lodged their bill and made their Parliamentary deposit.
In case of the act not being obtained, the deduction for
expenses is to be limited to ss. per share.
ELECTION PETITIONS FOR NEXT SEBsroN.—Three
important election petitions remain for decision, viz.,
Clithero, Sligo, and Chatham. In the latter ; the peti-
tion will be resisted by the electors, the sitting member
having declined to defend his seat. In the Sligo case,
it is understood that Mr. Somers will be borne scathe-
less by certain parties. Mr. Sadleir cannot withdraw,
as the seat is claimed. The elections which have taken
place in this borough, since 1847, have cost more than
would twice buy the fee-simple of the town.
POOR RELIEF IN PRUSSIA..—By official accounts just
published there were in Prussia, in 1849, among a popu-
lation of 16,350,000 souls, 567,659 persons who were in
receipt of alms, in average 7 thalers 1 silber groschen
(205.) The total sum expended on their relief amounted
to 5,481,317 thalers (783,045!.)
