CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 American
were taken for export and on speculation. The
market was heavy, with but little alteration in
prices. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 200
Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to 7id. ; 70 Bahia,
at .6d. ; 700 Egyptian, at 6d. to Bd.; and 2,000
Surat, at 2d. to 4id. per lb. Railway Shares
were firmer.
The value of merchandise exported from New
York during the week to the Bth inst. was 2,972,681
dollars, including specie. There was no material
alteration in bread stuffs, the high rate of freights
and the desire on the part of holders to await
further foreign intelligence, limiting operations.
Forgeries to the extent of about fifty thousand
dollars had taken place in Boston.
The works of the Frankfort, Wiesbaden, and
Cologne Railway were formally commenced last
month, and, considerinc, the insufficient and uncer-
tain accommodation affcirded to traffic by the steam-
boats on the Rhine, the speedy completion of the
railway is particularly desirable—a fact abundantly
proved by the expressed opinions of the inhabitants
of the districts that will be benefited. Of the
productiveness of this undertaking, seeing the
liberal spirit in which the Duke of Nassau has made
the concession, there cannot be the slightest doubt,
as the Wiesbaden line will form the connecting link
in the great chain of railways from Bale to Belgium
and Holland. The construction of the Lahn Rail-
way as a branch to the Wiesbaden is strongly advo-
cated by the German press. As far as the direc-
tors of the Wiesbaden Company are concerned, we
may rest satisfied that their practical habits and
known energy will not leave untried anything that
can promote the interests of their proprietory.
The Wildberg Great Consolidated Mining Com-
Pany, having its seat of operations abouenine Ger-
man miles from Cologne, is to be worked with
energy by a new company. The profit hitherto,
by the employment of only 30 miners, has been at
the rate of nearly 12,0001. per annum, and a trifling
addition to this force will, according to the state-
ment of the projectors, yield an immediate divi-
dend of upwards of 10 per cent., and of twice or
thrice that amount subsequently. The mines are
held in perpetuity, under a royal charter froth the
Crown of Prussia, as a royalty, which practically
does act exceed 3 per cent.
A 'meting was held. yesterday at Stockton-upon-
Tees, it which C. Trotter, Esq., Mayor of that
borough, presided, for the purpose of forming a
company, and taking the necessary steps to obtain
an acc, the next session, to make a railway from
Stokesby, in Cleveland, to that port. Its advan-
tagcs were fullyst t 7orth by the chairman, who pointed
out the magnitude of the traffic, especially the fact
that the iron, alum, and lime formations of the
Cleveland hills would be, if this railway were made
(aid which will, we understand, be less than nine
miles in length), profitably " reduced by the coals
of South Durham, although some of the parties in-
terested in other lines appeared to " censure by
fairt praise." Resolutions were passed, and a large
sun was subscribed to get the surveys ready in
tine to comply with the standing orders of the
Ileum of Commons.
Totice has been given by the Honourable East
Lida Company that from yesterday the interest
up.n its bonds is raised to 3f per cent. per annum.
It will be remembered that in May last the rate
wa, reduced to 2i per cent. Nothing can exem-
Nit. more forcibly the rapid change that has come
over the Money Market.
The English Stocks are not sustained at the
higiest point of yesterday, but are still compara-
tivily firm owing:, to the easier state of the money
rawket, and the investments that have been in
prgress. There is no political intelligence of a
Poitive nature, but a rumour now prevalent is
tabulated to excite uneasiness, viz., that England
ant France being undecided in their support of
th, Sultan, that enlightened and patriotic Sove-
regn declines to grant a firman for the passage
of the fleets. Consols have been 92i, and
shoe 92, for transfer, but not lower than 92i I
for account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been marked 93 , and the Re-
diced Three per Cents. 918 to g. Exchequer Bills
hive been par to 35., and East India Bonds par
tc ss. premium. outh Sea Old Annuities are
warth 99. India Stock has been steady at 250.
Foreign Securities have been in moderate re-
quest, and there is a fair business doing in some of
them. Mexican have varied from 24i to Gre-
nada Deferred Bonds have been at 71, Buenos
Ayres at 57, and Brazilian at 98. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are worth 40 to f, and Spanish
Three per Cents. 44k. Sardinian Bonds are 911 to
92 Dutch Four per Cents. are quoted 94. In
Russian Bonds there have been no transactions.
Railway Shares have been firm generally, and the
Bettlement of the account shows that " bearing"
!ill predominates, although it has sensibly abated
within the last fortnight, if we may judge by the
!puller charges made for allowing sellers to post-
Acne the delivery of shares. It may be true, also,
gait shares once taken out of particular names and
nd`` loaned," are allowed to be kept for a while on
easier terms. French Shares are quiet, but very
Arm.

In accordance with a resolution passed at the first
general meeting of this society, a meeting of the direc-
tors and members was held last night at the Whittington
Club, Strand, to ballot for the priority of members.
On the platform we observed, among a great many
influential gentlemen, Mr. J. Jones, Lieut.-Col. Dick-
son, Col. Stlrr, J. Wyld, Esq., T. C. Grattan, Esq.,
Mr. G. Smith, &c.
Shortly after seven o'clock the chair was taken by J.
Wyld, Esq., late M.P. for Bodmin.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, stated
that he did not intend to occupy their attention at very
great length, followed as he would be by a gentleman so
much more able than himself to lay before them the
objects for which they were assembled. Lately an im-
portant movement had taken place, and all and every
one would hail with delight the great good to be effected
by the establishment of the Free Trade Freehold Land
Society. There was no political object or opinion to be
worked out, but all creeds were invited to join. The
Chairman then entered into a statement with respect to
the value and importance of land. He would not detain
them any longer, but would call upon Mr. Martindale
to address them.
Mr. S. M. MARTINDALE then at some length en-

tered into the details of the Free Trade Freehold Land
Society, the mode of drawing, the situation of the
two estates, one at Camberwell and the other at
Beckinghatv, in Kent, and said that this society had
been formed for two objects ; the first was to enable
persons to obtain freehold land, and thereby the county
franchise; the second, to afford to all a secure and pro-
fitable investment for savings. The society being esta-
blished and enrolled under the Friendly Societies' Acts,
there was no personal liability beyond the subscriptions
on the shares subscribed for, as the opinion of John
Tidd Pratt, Esq., the barrister appointed by the Govern-
ment to certify the rules of such societies, will fully con-
firm. It was to the effect, that the members of a bene-
fit building society cannot be held or made liable, as
shareholders, for any debts or engagements of such so-
ciety. This society differs from other similar societies in
the following particulars :-Ist, Its shares were 401.
each, so that one share would purchase a freehold, other
societies being too high or too low. 2dly, The allot-
ment of the estates as proposed was more favourable to
subscribers than in other societies. Lastly, Politics are
entirely disclaimed, and every subscriber was perfectly
free to act on his own judgment.
Various other minor details formed the closing topics
in the statement, which was listened to with much
attention.

proprietors.
Mr. T. C. GRATTAN seconded the resolution, which
having been put by the Chairman, was carried unani-
mously.
Mr. G. SMITH briefly moved the second resolution, as
follows :—" That this meeting is of opinion that the
principles on which the Free Trade Freehold Land
Society is conducted, peculiarly fits it to secure the
benefits contemplated in its formation, and renders it
worthy of general support.
Colonel STARR, in seconding the resolution, dwelt
very forcibly upon the benefits to be derived by the join- 6
ing of institutions like the present. He could well con- g
ceive the pride with which a man, when he had an
allotment; placed his foot upon the ground, and said, St.
"This is my own." He concluded by calling upon the 5
ladies to urge upon those connected with them the im-
portance of becoming the possessor of a stake in the St.
country.
The CHAIRMAN having put the resolution to the meet- St.
ing, declared it carried unanimously. St.
In answer to a question put by an individual in the
body of meeting, 10
Mr. JENKIN JONES said the question with respect to 6A
the grouping of shares was under the consideration of N
the executive committee, and when a conclusion had
been come to, a meeting would be called, and proposi- St.
tions would be submitted for the consideration of the St.
shareholders, and the executive committee would be St.
governed by the result. 16
Upwards of 300 shares were then subscribed for from gt:
among the gentlemen present, making in all more than St.
1,200 shares taken up since the establishment of the St.
society, on the 15th of August last. 50
Scrutineers having been chosen from among the body
of the members present, the ballot was proceeded with, St.
and the numbers were announced as they were taken 50
from the box.

The Gold Mine Shares have been rather good

A vote of thanks having been proposed to the chaiF
man,

Colonel DICKSON, in seconding it, said he could 12,
not sufficiently thank Mr. Wyld for the kind man- 25
ner in which, at a moment's notice, he had taken the 10
chair, and for the patience ho had shown during the 6
necessarily tedious proceedings of the evening. He was 12,
sure the meeting would agree with him in releasing Mr. 12;
Wyld from the chair, which would be occupied by one 12;
of the commiteee till the conclusion of the business. St.
Colonel Dickson thanked the meeting for the patient St.
hearing they had given to the proceedings of the evening. .„..1
He hoped the next time he had the honour of meeting "
10'
them the society would be in a still more prosperous St.
condition, and that no effort on the part of the committee St.
would be wanting to further the objects of the society. St.
The vote of thanks was then carried unanimously. St.
The balloting then recommenced, and at its conclusion 20
the proceedings terminated. St.

The Wednesday Evening Concerts have been revived 10
at Exeter Hall, though not under the former manage- 25
ment. The views of the present projector are of a more 10
extended character. An orchestra of very ample dimen- 1.0. f
sions has been secured, and the names that have been
published show that most of the best players have been St.
engaged. The selection of the instrumentalists have 2g
been entrusted to Mr. Benedict, the accomplished com-
poser. Upon this gentleman has been bestowed the St.
office of director. The particular plans of the speculator 17
in this new musical undertakicg have not transpired ; 25
but we conclude that he has no other intention than
that of giving good and popular music to the public at -
an easily accessible price. He binds himself by no de-
clarations as regards native talent, but will doubtless, 10
if it offers itself in a practicable shape, make it available. 5
The array of names which he has issued as soloists and 20
vocalists is very imposing, and artists of the highest 20
repute are announced to appear during the progress of 20
the six nights of which the first series of concerts is to 20
consist. All our best English performers are named, 20
with whom will be associated such of the most distin- 20
guished foreigners who happen to be within the tempta- 20
tion of an engagement.

to the Desert of Felicien David—the celebrated sym-

bordering on fanaticism.

The second part of the concert—preceded by the
National Anthem, sung by Miss Stabbach and others—
contained several agreeable vocalities, the most remark-
able of which were Lindsay Sloper's clever scena, " Joan
of Arc," rendered by Miss Dolby with her ustal graphic
force ; Loder's ballad, "There's a path by the water,"
which Miss Isaacs sang so naively as to win an up-
roarious redemand ; and a scena from the Lombardi, in
which a Mdlle. None made her first appearance before
an English audience. This young lady established her- 74"
2100
self very favourably, and promises to enjoy a considerable
share of popularity. She has a mezzo-soprano voice, 10
the quality of which is full and rich, and unquestionable 20
experience. The taste and feeling with which she gave 20
the air of Verdi were facts which the audience at once 20
appreciated, and she was assailed with an encore that
was irresistible. Mr. Lawler, Miss Cicely Nott, and 20
Miss Poole were each contributors of a song ; and Mac- 50
farren's madrigal, "Maidens, would ye 'scape undoing,"
was sung by the chorus,
.who also gave the once-famous
glee, "The Chough and Crow," with pleasant effect.
In the course of tuffs part, Mendelssohn's " UM-
laute " was performed by Miss Arabella Goddard, whose
extraordinary executancy afforded the customary grati-
fication, and elicited the customary applause.
The hall was crowded in every part.

ILLEGALITY OF OMNIBUS ADVERTISING.—The Sun,
and some other journals, have stated that omnibus ad-
vertisements are prohibited by the recent act. This is
incorrect. Advertisements "placed so as to obstruct
the light" are only forbidden.
ORDER OF CUSTOMS.—Upon the suggestion of some
of the landing officers, an order has just been pro-
mulgated by the Board of Customs authorising the
landing waiters to ascertain the weight of silk ribands
by weighing them net, instead of first weighing them
gross, and then taring the blocks cartons, &c, as
heretofore. The regulation will afford great facility,
and is regarded as a step in the right direction. The
same order directs the weight to he taken to the 100th
part of a pound avoirdupois, thereby ignoring the
existence of the standard ounce weight as established by
law ; and the legality of this is questionable, as it is
doubted if the commissioners have power to establish,
even partially, the decimal system without the sanction
of the legislature. The principle, however, is good, and
was first adopted in 1843, upon the suggestion of Mr.
Cockshott, one of the landing surveyors. To a certain
extent, therefore, it has been in operation in the Cus-
trenq' department for the last 10 years, and during that
peilud it is understood to have conferred great benefit
on the public, from the ease it affords in mercantile
transactions, while it has at the same time effected a
very considerable saving in the reveuue,

all of us must admit that the mass of the 4104intr)•
do govern. In the last resort they are called in to arbi-
trate on all questions that touch our national interests ;
and we must all admit that it is best to have an arbitra-
tor who has been trained to think—who has been accus-
tomed to weigh and discuss reasons, and to deduce con-
clusions from facts and evidence--it is better to have
parties of this kind to settle great national questions than
to refer such mighty interests to the arbitration of ignor-
ance, prejudice, and passion. (Cheers.) Now, ladies
and gentlemen, if I have said too much on this subject,
either for you or those who may read what I have
spoken, I can only say, that I feel so strongly the great
importance of this subject, that wherever I meet with
men having education for their aim, I cannot be respon-
sible for withholding my remarks on our wants of juve-
nile education. (Cheeas.) It is not possible to com-
pensate for the deficiency of education in our juvenile
population by any such institutions as this. We may,
in some degree, atone for the deficiencies—we may com-
pensate for lost time ; but we cannot have a really edu-
ducated and safe community unless we begin at the be-
ginning by training the young. Our friend who will
follow me will, I dare say, deal with part of the subject
better than I can. I can only say that whether you
look at the question of education in the interests of mo-
rality or religion—whether you look at it as a matter of
interest or happiness, individually or in its relation to
the welfare of the State—in whatever way you regard,
this question, you may depend upon it, the highest in-
terests, the dignity, the honour, and the happiness of
the people are bound up in this question of education.
Some other routine business having been transacted,
the meeting separated.

LOSS OP THE DALHOUSIE.

The master and crew of the schooner William, of
Exeter, have made the following statement, denying the
charge which had been laid against them by Joseph
Reed, the survivor of the Dalhousie, to the effect that
they bore away from the wreck without rendering the
least assistance to the sufferers :

" Cowes
"At 7 a.m. of the 19th inst., wind S Oct. 24.
E. by S., I
saw a ship a point on the starboard how with her
head to the eastward and her starboard side in the
water, the water level with her main and mizentops,
and her foretopsail partly under water. We bore
away and came under her lee, and when abreast of
her, and about a cable's length, she sank. We then
kept our vessel's head to the S. W. for about a
quarter of an hour, put our helm down, and tried to
stay by her, but came head to wind, and then went
astern at the rate of five or six miles per hour. She
would not have paid off had not a sea struck her on her
starboard bow. We then hauled our wind, but the vessel
would not come to windward or near the unfortunate
men who were struggling in the water. All hands were
in attendance with head-lines, cork fenders, in fact every-
, thing we had available for the purposeof saving life, but
lit was of no avail. By reason of the distance we were
from them, we could render them no assistance what-
ever, the sea at this time making clean breaches over
our little vessel, being only 119 tons and heavily laden
with coals. After keeping the vessel's-head to the N.
and E. for half an hour, and finding we could be of no
service whatever, drifting as we were on a lee shore,
we consulted together, when it wrs determined (after
having done everything in our power to save life), for
our own preservation and that of the ship, to steer
our course down Channel, and you may rest assured it
was with anything but enviable feelings, having wit-
nessed such a calamity and unable to render our fellow-
creatures the least assistance. The undersigned would
not consider themselves men had they acted in the
manner deposed to by Joseph Reed, for whom we make
every allowance, having been placed in the perilous and
heartrending situation he was in, but are surprised he
should have declared that he hailed, and was answered
from the schooner to swim to her, when it was impos-
sible, according to his statement, for it to be true. He
states that the schooner was 200 yards to leeward of him
and blowing a gale ; how could he hear them say,
" Swim to her ?" It is a duty we owe to ourselves, as
men and seamen, to justify ourselves from such cruel
aspersions.

TIE CHOLERA.

( From the General Board of Health.)
NEWCASTLE.
In Newcastle, on the 25th Oct., no cases from cholera
were registered. One death from diarrhoea was entered
on that day as having occurred in the Westgate district.

STONEHAVEN.
The medical officer of the parochial board of Dun-
nottar (Stonehaven) reports, on the 24th inst., that he
was called in on that afternoon to inspect the body of a
man who, it was stated, "died, after an illness of six
hours, on Friday morning last, at sea, on board the
sloop Farmer, from Shields for Montrose. The said
sloop put into the harbour of Stonehaven this afternoon
(24th), where it now lies. The body has been removed
from the ship. "From the appearance of the body,"
adds the medical officer, "and from the history of the
man's illness which I received from the other men be-
longing to the ship, I am of opinion that he died of
cholera, and under that impression gave such orders to
the crew as I thought necessary to prevent the disease
spreading."

GATESHEAD.
Oct. 24.—Two deaths from cholera were registered as
occurring this day in the Ileworth district of this union.
This makes the 498th death from cholera, there having
also been 43 from diarrhoea.
