SUN.—It is! satisfactory to notice in the accounts from
Turkey, the cuarked symptoms of improvemenrithat
have begun to s. bow themselves in the general corm urco
of the Sultan's dominions, since the successful tlrmi-
nation of the war in Syria. The Foreign trade of Con-
stantinople is exp& 7ted to become particularly set e,
and the shipments, of produce to and from nit fie;
which had dwindled t.'own a year since to a very iforr
ebb, have already be come more considerable. The
mercantile interests feel more confidence in the st.loi-
lity of the Ottoman Government, and are gratified at
its improved standing in the scale of nations.
The consumption of Tea in ,London is already in..
creasing.

TIME S.—Some incidents connected with the passage
of the overland mail from India through Egypt, which
appear to be worthy of note, have not yet been made pub.
lic. The management of the conveyance on the Indian
side seems to have been extremely well conducted. The
mail was brought from Bombay to Suez by the Cleopatra,
one of the East India Cumpany's new steamers, which
v;as despatched from' England about a year ago. She
left Bombay cn the Ist uit. ; anchored at Aden early in
the morning of the 10th ; and leaving the same day, ar-
rived at Suez on the.lBth. From the information collected
at Aden, all was quit there ; hut an attack was antici
paled on the 47 th or 18th from a very numerous body oh
Arats, acting under the influence of a self-styled saint or
propitel-, who promised them success, and declared them
to be invoinfsable or this special occasion. As u specimen
of his prophetic power, he rind put forward a rather lu-
dierous one in forttelling ;.!-lat en a given day the hair of
Captain Hawes, the political gent at Aden, would turn
white. The brave garrison were. however, fully prepared

From Sw z to Alezßr.dria the transit of the mail seems
to hare worked by no nlcens well, considering that the
importance of the news from China and India se'lould have
urged extraordinary despatch. Peom the time landing
the mail at Suez to its being_ put on board of the [heat
Liverpool at Alexandria, a period of six days was oc,-u;
pied, though the distance is not more than three hundreo
miles. The Pacha, it should be moreover observed, took
this mail under his special protection, since, in conse-
quence of some reported depredations of the wandering
Bedouins, he allowed a small body of his cavalry to escort
the mail across the Desert—a good service by the way,
which, considering his position with this country,
ought not to be forgutten There was some ap.
parent drawback won it, as not an absolutely diem.
terested act, in a demand upon each of the passengers
of 3/. sterling for this protection ; but this was
• believed to be the act of some inferior agent, wholly
without the knowledge of the Paella, whet, if it
should reach. him, will therefore be excessively indignant
at an act so decidedly calculated to lessen the value of
the service conferred. One cause assigned for the delay
in the passage. through Egypt is the necessary attention
paid by the .agents to the convenience of the travellers by
that route, who would be much incommoded, or, perhcps,
left behind, if the mail moved more rapidly; but it is
obvious that so great a public service ought not to be im.
petted at such a time by such considerations. It is said,
eowever, to lre quite practicable, if better arrangements
are made in Egy pt, to bring on the mail and the passengers
in much lees time, and without inconvenience to the pas-
sengers, among whom there are great complaints, in ad-
dition to the delay, of privations and annoyances on the
route. All travellers to and from India would hail as a
very great boon any reform in thole respects.
The transit of the mails front England towards India is
stated to hate been subject to similar causes of complaint.
That of the 4th of December from London, though landed
at Alexandria on the 17th, at 8 A m., was met on tire Nile
at mid-day of the 22d, at least 24 hours' run from Cairo,
and consequently could not be on board of the Cleopatra
before the 26th, or reach Bombay before the l .sth cf January.
All these incidents are of great importance when the ob-
ject is how to instate all the expedition possible to the com-
munications with India, and the progressive improvements
made from time to time lead to the hope that the ar-
rangemente will soon be brought to perfection. As it is,
there is much cause for congratulation both to England
and to India iu the rapidity of the transit. As an instance
of the celerity with which this moat interesting journey
may be performed, it may be mentioned that Mr. Parbury,
one of the passengers by the Great Liverpool, only left the
Himalaya mountains, at the northern extremity of British
India, on the 24th of October, and though proceeding
down the entire course of the Sutlege and the Indus rivers,
would reach England in less than two months and a halt
from that date. The Gr eat Liverpool has not yet reached
Falmouth, as, from the occurrence of some cases of plague
in Egypt, she will not carry a clean bill of health, and
must, therefore, perform quarantine; but she is daily ex-
pected.

BANKRUPTCY co uivr.

(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)
MANCHESTER DISTILLERY COMPANY.—IN RE
F. F. CARRUTIIERS.

Yesterday was thedayfi;ea-f;ti;final adjourned cia.
mination of th,l blekrupt, the proceedings in whose case
,
we have already a'epor:ed.
Mr. Baddome at; ended as Solieirtor.
s_fpoirresthbeaadssgigonneeest:
and Alderman T. Wcod for the ~:ankrupt.
Mr. Alderman T. WPod said N:
Scotland, and taken certain books wh,`ll him. No ' Eng.
fish" process could reach him or cox). el his attendance
here.
The Registrar (Mr. Parry) observed tba.t it would be a
breach of the articles of the union with Scot. land to issue
any English process into that part of her Mo,eaty's doig-
nions.
...

Mr. Beddome said that a large sum was still
counted for in the bankrupt's balance-sheet.
The bankrupt said he had rendered as good an a cceant
as he was able, and he had been most diligent in his at-
tendance upon the official assignee ; but there were oci—
tam explanations required which Mr. Spires alone cocark
give, and he (Mr. Carruthers) had no mean: of compel.
ling his attendance.
The Learned COMMISSIONER was strongly inclined to.
suspect that Spires knew more than he ;vas incrlned to die-
elose. . _

Mr. Alderman T. Wood thought it tvoold be greatly
to the interest of the public that the Lear, vd Commis-
sioner should state the conclusions at which be lied ar-
rived in this matter, as they wolld fully exonerate the
bankrupt from many false imputations which 1. 'ad been
current against him.
The Learned COMMISSIONEII (to the bankrupt)—.j; are
you yourself written to Spires to attend here ?

The haat uut—l have, Sir.
The Learned CO24IMISSIOISER—This fortifies my suspi-
cion that there is something wrong in his conduct.
Mr. Alderman T. Wood—lt is my business to make it
apparent that the property not accounted for is s.mewhere
or other, but Lot with the knowledge ,of the bankrupt.
The Learned COMMISSIONER—Everything ntrered by you
shows me that all is not right, and the nun-attendance of
Spires here to-day does not arise from the mere: circum-
stance of his expenses not having been tendered tar him.
Mr. Alderman T. Wood observed that his Honour was
perfectly right, but vi hen it was discovered that Spires, .a•nd
gone to Scotland, it was found that there was no meat 5
left of compelling his attendance. The Scotch Courts
were extremely jealous of any interference in Scotland by
English process.
Mr. Be?.dome remarked that when he regarded the
great deficiency unaccounted fur in this balance sheet,
which was so mixed up with that of his father, he conld
not feel satisfied without some further explan.?tion.
The bankrupt—My books willlshow everything sihieb was
given to my frtthcr, and I have nothing in the world which
I wish to conceal from my creditors.
The Learned COMMISSIONER—Have you any intention,
Mr. Carruthers, of leaving this kingdom?
Mr. Carruthers being sworn, answered that he certainly
had not; it was his firm intention to remain here, and do
the best be cook].

P3ST.—The anticipations entertained last week with
regard to the state of the Money Market have been fully
realised. The payment of the dividends renders money
£0 abundant that the ruling charge for discounts on com-
mercial bills, which was the other day 5} per cent., is now
hut di. It is expected that the change will bring up u
good deal of country paper. There has been no po•sibi-
lety of proceeding with this sort of business to any extent
during the late pressure upon the London market arising
front the contraction of the currency by the Bank. W.., how-
ever, hear to-day of a !ergo batch of bills having been bent
by a Lancashire banking-house for the purpose of being
cashed, with the limitation of 5 per cent.
The tea trade seems now becoming additionally isle-
pressed. Company's congoue are now quoted at is. 7d.
per lb., the retrogradation being id. to 1(1. per lb. There
is probably a deubt in the minds of some of the leading
holders that no positive approach has been mado to a set-
tlement of the opium question with-the Chinese. The
negotiations with the Pekin authorities, so far as they
have been reported to us, may certainly, from their ex-
cessive vagueness, be supposed to leave ample room for an
unfavourable issue. That such is the feeling in partial
cases is, at all events, to be inferred from the diffrrence
of prices now and immediately anterior to the assumption
on the part of the English Government of a hostile atti-
tude towards China, the current rate at the earlier period
being as low as Is. 2d. per lb. There is no great necessity
for referring back ro the time when I Id. per lb. only was
obtainable. The depression of the mat het was then pro-
duced by extraordinary circumstances, among which is to be
recollected the bringing forward of several Cargoes to-
gether to be turned into money, at whatever sacrifice to
the importers or proprietors.

Sir C. F. WILLIAMg—Then I am not to punish this
young man because Mr. Spires has thought proper to runt
away. Unfortunately there was no process in law enabling
ui to get at him, or his books of accounto, and no actior,
could reach him. This younf; man has d...tle all in his
power ; he has been diligent and attentive in biving such
explanations of his accounts as he was able, and as I can
ask no more from him, I shall pass his final exarninastion.
Th.i bankrupt, having answered the customary .ques-
tions, was declared to be " passed."

conviction on
this subject existing to the extent does in Ireland, is
it not the duty of the Liberal party to avail themselves
of this only existing means of rousing the tenants to
vote against their landlords ? Your abstract political
questions the Irish do not understand, and what youi
cannot obtain from the English tenant, you expect frotn
the Irish peasant, the most oppressed being on the face
of the earth. National enthusiasm can effect wonders,
and O'Connell, notwithstanding all those contemptible
sneers of the English press one of the most practical
politicians that ever lived, has availed himself of it, to
preserve the Liberal interests alive in Ireland. Do not
the repeaters vote for every liberal measure, and if they
should go one step farther then you do, why should you
insult them v:lien you assert that the Union cannot be
repealed ? What mischief is done by this agitation, which
is the only means of preserving the liberal interest in Irv.
lane;? The Whigs in Ireland are bad landlords, t hey emp'oy
Tory agents, they will not give a sufficient interest to
their tenants to enable them to vote ; they will not
form any indemnity fund for the persecuted voter. Six
counties in the North would have returned Liberals it
the Whig proprietors had done their duty, They avail
themselves of public patronage, &c., but they will make
no sacrifices. If you would denounce the selfish conduct
of the Whigs, and call upon them and the Catholic aris-
tocracy, of England to sustain by their purse the Irish
who swore their emancipation, you would serve the
Liberal cause. The people of Scotland for forty years
after their union, thought that its repeal was the only
remedy for their sufferings, yet they did not suffer onc-
tenth of what the Irish suffer at present.
I am, your obedient servant.,
GERALD DE COURCY.

HERALD.—This has been a flat day in the funds, and
the Globe's gentleman of the leading article will be sun_
pried no doubt to learn that the prices of Stockr. which
he "sent up" a f.7vr da)s since with such smirking self.
complacency have been "sent down" again to-day with
just as much rapidity as they went up Consols, in spite
of Ch nese triumph, and Indian victories, declined to-day
to 89n to Bank Stock 163 k to 41. Exchequer Billc
9s. to I Is. premium.

The Times this marning in the course of variaus ob.
servations on the United' States Bank at, c{ the recent
change of agency, with which for the most part no fault
can be found, is disposed to cast censure by implication
on the hank because the European shareholders have no
voice in the choice of directors, and therefore no influence
by which to compel or induce an honest and periodical state-
ment of accounts. " Teero en :;lit, it is said, to be. further
some plan adopted for giving to English and European share-
holders generally some influence in the choice of directors
at the chief station in Philadelphia, and arrangements
made by which honest and intelligible accounts shall be
periodically submitted to their inspection." It is quite
true that about three-fifths of the whole number of shares,
representing the 7,000,000/. capital of the bank, arc held
in Europe, and principally no doubt in this country. and
that it certainly does appear a hardship that such a mass
of interest should be entirely disenfranchised of any power
of action in the bank management. But it would be un-
fair to challenge this as any wilful error of omission or
commission of the hank itself, or those concerned in
its administration. The disqualification to which
foreign shareholders arc subjected arose out of poli-
tical considerations, and not the unnatural jealousy of
a state of anything like foreign influence or inter-
farence in its internal affairs, even of a merely mone-
tary nature. It is indeed clear that money eancerns, for
instance in the matter of currency or paper circulation,
may come to be closely allied with, bear upon, and bias
political considerations, and therefore it is not surprising
that, absolutely to bar out the possibility of any extrinsic
action of the kind the Legislature of Pennsylvania, on
e.anting the charter under which the bank is now incor-
porated, should introduce a stringent provision for exclud-
ing foreign shareholders from any rote in the choice of
officers, and therefore from any direct influence upon the
administration of the bank. This may, or may not be, a
grievance, but it is evidently one with which the United
States Bank administration cannot fairly be reproached,
and would, except perhaps under actual circumstances,
have no disinclination to see remedied, a matter however
clearly one of legislative competency alone.
It may not he forgotten that the country at large, and
country hankers here more immediately, owe much of the
United States' Bank Stock with which they are over-
loaded, to the great damage or ruin of mrtiy indi-
viduals, to a sort of conspiracy got up here by cartain
bankers and discount houses who happened to be deeply
concerned if not compromised in the safety and solvency
for the time being of the United States Bank, either by
direct holding of large amounts of its stock, or of State.'
stocks negotiated through it, or by indirect involvement
with mercantile establishments whose fate depended on the
bank being carried through. The subject has been
brought before the notice of country bankers and the
public on occasions heretofore, but it may not be amiss to
reproduce the process adopted by the confederacy here to
shift from their own shoulders the burden of Bank and
States' stock with which they are encumbered, or to find
among gullible country bankers a market for the same sort
of etecks held by the agency of the United States Bank
and entirely unsaleable M this city. at a moment when the
bank was on the brink of open and decl,,red failure, with
obligations by hundreds of thousands falling due, or ap-
proaching maturity. In the first place the way was
prepared by crying up the surpacsing value of these
Transatlantic securities in publications professing to
represent the banking interest all over the country;
and secondly, when an effect was considered to
rates

week gone the round of the daily papers, staling that at
length a clue has been chtained to the discovery of the
murderer of the late unfortunate Mr. Richard Westwood,
the watchmaker in Princes-strect, Soho, is the parson of
a man who had recently beef, convicted of felony at Hull,
in whose possession some of the stolen watches !men
found. The pars:graph &so went on to sate that the indi-
vidual in question was al •n suspected of Laving been the
murderer of Eliza Grimwocd, in the Watetloe-road.
Front the inquiries we have made on the subject we have
reason to believe. there is no truth in either of these state
