MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
quiet. Sales 3,500 bales, all to the trade. Prices were
without alteration, but there was a good choice. Shares
were steady, with a fair business doing.
The agitation in favour of a reduction of the duty
upon teas has been fairly, and, as yet, it would appear,
most successfully commenced. The Chambers of Com-
merce of Liverpool, of Manchester, and elsewhere, are
up and stirring in the good cause. The trade in the city
of London seems to be somewhat lukewarm on the sub-
ject. However there can be little doubt but that a most
vigorous appeal will be made, in and out of Parliament,
to obtain the great object in view.
It appears that a great diversity of opinion exists as to
the accuracy of the information given in a stop-press of
a morning paper, that an American ship of war, had
been fired into from the forts at Oporto, dismasted, and
so much injured, that she was towed into a near port
for repairs.
It was stated in the the City late yesterday afternoon
that an inquiry into further frauds upon the revenue
was in progress. In a printed slip handed to us, the
facts are thus given. We know they come from a re-
spectable and well-informed source:—
"In the course of evidence adduced before the
late Government Commission of Inquiry, held
at Gwyder House, it transpired that certain
wharfingers had, for the advancement of their
peculiar business or otherwise, been long in the
practice of delivering goods in their charge under
bond, to the merchant, without the payment of
duty, giving him credit until it might suit his conve-
nience to pass the necessary " Home Consumption
Entry," and this term of accommodation has sometimes
extended to years. The system of book-keeping pur-
sued by the Customs' officers does not admit of stock-
taking at certain periods, and therefore affords a facility
to such irregularities. In the first view of this affair,
it would appear that the injury done to the revenue
would simply amount to the loss of interest upon the
capital thus detained; but should a destruction of these
bonded warehouses by fire take place (and within the
last few years two instances have occurred in which the
premises have been totally destroyed) the Crown would
be exposed to a very large amount of fraud, without the
possibility of detecting the guilty parties. For in this
case the authorities would relinquish their claims upon
all goods destroyed by such accident, and as it would be
apparent on the face of their books, that all those articles
which had illegally passed into consumption were among
those consumed in the conflagration, the parties who
were merely cheating the Government of interest upon
the duties, would be necessitated to pocket the amount
of the duties altogether."
The information connected with Portugal especially
has had an unfavourable influence upon the Public Funds
to-day, combined with other circumstances. Consols for
transfer have dropped from 94 to 94k, and for the Ac-
count from 941 to 94g. Exchequer-bills are higher a
trifle, the premium being at Ils. at present. The Three
per Cents. Reduced, and the Three-and a-Quarter per
Cents. are likewise somewhat cheaper than yesterday.
Bank Stock is firm at 206.
Portuguese Three per Cents. have just been quoted at
38, being a slight improvement on yesterday's value.
Spanish Stock is also rather more firm. The Five per
Cents. are at 251, and the Three per Cents. at 371.
Austrian Bonds have realised 108. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents, 594. The Four per Cents. 91, and
Brazilian, 84.
The Railway Share Market is not brisk as to demand.
A unanimous wish having been recently expressed by
several influential shareholders in the Richmond Com-
pany, to present Mr. William Chadwick with some testi-
monial as an expression of the deep sense they entertain
of his services in conducting, as chairman, the affairs of
that company. to so prosperous an issue, a committee
has been appointed for the purposes of carrying the
views and wishes of the shareholders into effect. The
testimonial, we understand, is to consist of a magnia•
cent service of plate.

House.
The unfavourable state of the weather during the
forenoon prevented the Royal Family from taking their
accustomed airings yesterday on the sea beach.
There was no addition to the Royal dinner circle at
Osborne House, on Thursday evening.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline of Hesse,
attended by Baroness Scheel, Baron Meysenbuch, and
Mr. Bedford, arrived at the Euston-square terminus of
the London and North-Western Railway Company yes-
terday morning, from Cashiobury Park, Hurts, the resi-
dence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager.
The Earl of Denbigh received the Princess on her
arrival in town, and attended her Royal Highness to the
Model Prison at Pentonville, which the Princess in-
spected.
At five o'clock in the afternoon her Royal Highness
and suite left the Euston•squilre terminus for Watford,
on her return to Cashiohury Park.
His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg Strelitz returned to Kew on Thursday
evening, from paying a visit to her Majesty the Queen
Dowager, and her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline
of Hesse, at Cashiobury Park, Herts.
A deputation, respecting the Health of Towns, headed
by Lord Ashley, had an interview with Sir George
Grey yesterday, at the Lome-office.

rank of Major-General in the army, have been conferred
of the Chatham division. The services of those veterans
are thus recorded in Allen's New Navg List :
"J. M`Callum, First-Lieutenant, serving in the
Dreadnought at Trafalgar, and in the Endymion at the
passage of the Dardanelles, and destruction of the
Turkish squadron at Point Pasquies, 1807.
" C. Menzies, First-Lieutenant, and commanded a de-
tachment of marines; landed at Port Jackson, during an
insurrection of convicts, 1804, and was mainly instru-
mental in restoring tranquillity in the colony ; served in
the boats of the Minerva at the capture of five luggers
protected by a battery in Finisterre Bay ; was in the
barge at the capture of the Spanish privateer Buena
Melia, of one long gun and 26 men ; commanded a boat
at the capture of a Spanish gun-boat at Carril ; and
commanded the marines at the storming of Fort Finis-
terre, 1806, served in boats at the capture of the
Spanish privateer San Josef, and landed and made pri-
soner the Spanish commodore ; was in command of the
marines at the capture of the Fort Guardia, and was
slightly wounded in cutting out the French corvette
Moselle in Basque-roads ; served at the taking of Fort
Camarinas and gun-boats, and was repeatedly engaged
in boat actions and against batteries. Gazetted 1806."
We take the services of the following officers appointed
to command from the same excellent source :
" Commander V. A. Massingberd (1842), appointed
to the Alecto, vice Austen promoted ; was Senior Lieu-
tenant of the Blenheim in China.
" Commander E. C. T. D'Eyncourt (1841), to the
Comus, vice Thompson, promoted ; was Lieutenant of
the Calliope, and wounded in the operations against
Canton, and was at the capture of that city.
" Commander H. M. Ellicomb (1841), to the Rolla,
vice Simpson ; was Lieutenant of the Ringdove on the
coast of Spain, and employed at the sieges of Bilboa
during the civil war in 1836 and 1837.
" Lieutenant Rivers (1841), to the Nautilus, Tice
M`Donnel, promoted ; was mate of the Calliope and
senior Lieutenant of the Sulphur during the principal
operations against the cities and coasts of China in 1841
and 1842, including the capture of the heights of Can-
ton, when he served on shore with the army and was
wounded. Officially mentioned on several occasions."
Lieutenant Thurburn (1841), first of the Harlequin,
is appointed to command the Griffon, vice Wilmot,
promoted.
Lietenant Western (1841), is appointed to command
the Jackal, vice Pasco, promoted.
The Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain Hope, was at
Buenos Ayres on the 11th of September, blockading.
Her marines were landed and quartered in Victoria
Barracks. It was expected there would be a break up
of the squadron when Admiral Inglefield left for China,
to take the chief command on that station, but the Fire-
brand expected to remain in the river Plate until a more
settled state of affairs in that quarter.
There is no truth whatever in the statement by a con-
' temporary that every other port on the lower deck of
the Vengeance is to be caulked.
The Crocodile troop ship, Commander Lowe, was un-
docked to-day, and the Resistance docked in her room.
WOOLWICH, Nov. 19.—The Centaur steam-frigate of
1,270 tons burthen, built at Portsmouth from a design
of Sir William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, and fitted
with engines of 540-horse power, by Boulton, Watt, and
Co. was tried down the river to day to ascertain the
working order of her engines. The Centaur left her
moorings at Blackwall under the charge of Commander
Smith of the William and Mary yacht shortly after 12
o'clock, and proceeded down the river under the direction
of Master-Commander Allen of the Black Eagle, answer-
ing remarkably well to her helm, and affording evi-
dence that her engines were in excellent condition, and
well adjusted, as there was not the slightest appearance
of heating during the preliminary experimental trial.
Amongst the officers present to witness the working of
the engines and capabilities of the vessel, were Captain
Sir George Otway, Bart., Captain Knox, Captain Jones,
Captain Pleydell Bouverie (of the Royal Navy), Mr.
I'ontter (of the Trinity Company), Mr. Lloyd (chief
engineer of the Woolwich Dockyard), Mr. Samuda, Mr.
Wigram, Mr. Mylne, Mr. Dangleish, and Mr. Brown (of
the firm of Boulton, Watt, and Co.), with numerous
other scientific gentlemen. The engines were under the
charge of Mr. Taylor, first engineer in the Royal Navy,
and on starting made 18 revolutions per minute, which
was considered a fair average speed with wheels 28 feet
in diameter and a stroke of six feet in the engines. As
the vessel proceeded down the river she acquired a
greater degree of speed, making from 19} to 20 revolu-
tions per minute, and gliding through the water with
the greatest ease and steadiness. The trip being merely
of a preliminary nature, Mr. Lloyd did not calculate her
speed at the measured mile in Long-reach, but it was
ascertained by a private time-piece that she performed
that distance in 6 minutes 18 seconds, although not at
full speed.
The Centaur is 200 feet long by 37 feet broad, and
strongly built. The engines are of the most substantial
construction, and finished with great nicety, as was
shown by the excellence of their working on their first
trial. They are similar in principle, with improvements,
to those of the Virago steamer, fitted by the same firm.
Some idea may be formed of the strength of the various
parts, when it is stated that the centre shaft alone
weighed thirteen tons when it left the forge, being con-
structed of malleable iron, and beautifully finished. The
cylinders are 85-i inches in diameter, and the working
pressure to-day 61bs. to the square inch. The engine-
room is well ventilated, and access to every part of the
engines obtained in the easiest manner. There are six
boilers, which can be worked together or seperately,
according to the quantity of steam required, and a very
great improvement has been effected in lettering the
stopcocks of the boilers, such as F. for front boiler, M. B.
for middle boiler, to enable any stoker or other person
to turn off or on the proper boiler without the chance of
mistake. There is also a waste steam-engine for work-
ing the pumps, and every appliance to render the engines
perfect. The vessel turned at Greenhithe, and, on
arriving at Woolwich, was attached to moorings along-
side the coal depot. She has been in charge of Mr.
William Grant, her carpenter, since she was brought
round from Portsmouth to be fitted with her engines.
The Avon steam-vessel, Captain Denham, arrived to-
day, and while her steam was up went up the river to
tow the Growler steam-vessel to Woolwich.
The Gorgon arrived at Woolwich shortly after twelve
o'clock, and will be paid off here.

EXPERIENCE IN A PRIVATE
LUNATIC ASYLUM.
(From the Lancet.)
A correspondent at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who has
authenticated his communication with his name and
address, has forwarded to us a communication, in which
a statement of facts relative to his personal experience of
confinement in a lunatic asylum, is prefaced by some
very correct and judicious remarks on private establish.
ments for insane persons, instigated by the painful ac-
counts relating to Ilaydock Lodge, which have appeared
in print. He justly condemns such establishments as
" markets trafficking in humanity in its worst condition,
in most of which those prudent, judicious, and rational
means which ought to be adopted for the recovery of
the patients, are entirely and designedly neglected ;"
nay, he " fears that other means, more deadly and inex-
plicable, are resorted to in some of them for the purpose
of confirming the complaint, and continuing them under
alienation?' He proceeds :—" From my own experi-
ence, I judge that those institutions are not calculated
to restore the patient labouring under mental affliction.
Every intelligent person is aware that diseases of
the mind are as various, and operate as differently, as
the diseases of the body. Consequently, different modes
of treatment should be adopted in different cases ; but
instead of this important and salutary caution being ex-
ercised, one uniform course is pursued towards all. I
am, Sir," says, "in humble circumstances of life, and
not able convey my sentiments with the clearness
which better educated men might do ; but my object in
iddressing you is good. I was myself confined in one
cif these places. About seventeen years ago. I was
I risited with an affliction of the mind, arising from nerv-
ous affection and extreme bodily weakness. After six
months' confinement I was restored. About twelve
months ago I had another attack of the same
wife complaconint,
and was only two days ill ; but after my had -
sulted a surgeon, he without using any means for my
recovery, at once gned a certificate tbr me to be sent
to an asylum. But Nature has again rallied, and I
am now in the.bosom of my family. To detail all that
I could say. with reference to that asylum would be
long and tedious for a communication of this kind,
but I am ready and anxious to give any information
on the subject that may be required. When I

reasons there were for the refusal ; for the face had

The directors of all the theatres at Berlin have

We regret that our venerable and eixellent

Cross-examined—Mrs. Haywood has been confined
since the accident, and suffered very much. She was
confined in July last. When I say that her mind is
affected, I do not mean to state that she is incapacitated
from attending to her household affairs—l mean that
she is suffering from both mental and bodily infirmity.
She cannot sit down now to write a letter. When she
sits down to read or write, it occasions great pain in
her head, and she cannot do either.—ls there any ten-
dency to mental imbecility?—She cannot concentrate
her thoughts to write a letter. I do not know that I
can give you a better answer than that. After reading
a page or two of a book she is obliged to put the volume
down.

Mr. Richard Jones sworn—l am edical practi-
tioner, residing at Leamington, of many ears' standing.
I knew Mrs. Haywood before she was married; during
her girlhood, in fact. She was a strong and healthy
person. I saw her the day before she left Leamington
—that would be on the Ist of June; she was then in a
good state of health. I consider she is in a nervous
excited state now. She yesterday complained to me
that her memory was affected; so much so, that in
writing a common letter she experienced the greatest
difficulty. Her whole nervous system is much dis-
arranged. It is impossible to say that these symptoms
will be permanent; they will wear off in time; some
modifications have taken place, and, in all likelihood,
still greater modifications may occur. I think this may
be done by amusing her mind, under proper treatment,
especially as she is unequal to the usual recreations of
reading and writing. I believe something in her con-
stitution has been radically injured, and I think that it
is very probable all the symptoms have come on since
that period.
Mr. MACAULAY, for the company, put in a mass of
correspondence, with a view to show that the plaintiff
had never made a specific demand upon the directors, or
they would have been willing from the outset to make
any fair and reasonable compensation.
The basis of the defence was the following letter, ad-
dressed by Mr. Creed to the plaintiff:—
" July 28, 1845.
" Sir,—Having laid before the directors your letter to
me, of the 9th inst., on the subject of the injuries sus-
tained by your family by the collision which occurred at
the Coventry station on the 2d inst., I am directed to
confirm officially all that I had stated to you in conver-
sation, as to the sincere regret of the directors for the
sufferings of the passengers who were hurt, and their
desire to do all fairly expected from them in their cha-
racter of trustees for the proprietors.
" As respects the servant who had care of the points,
there was much to induce the directors not to visit his
offence too heavily. He had served the company from
the year 1838, without having once been reported for a
failure of his duty, and has always borne a uniformly
good character. His conduct on the 2d, although very
blameable, was rather the result of an error in judgment
than one of negligence, since it was from the belief that
he had time to do two things instead of one, which
required his whole attention. Weighing all the circum-
stances of the case, they thought that, to a man in his
station of life, a suspension of ten days, and a farther
fine of a week's pay, being seventeen days in the whole,
with a severe censure, was, though a comparatively
lenient punishment, as much as the services and cha-
racter of the individual called upon them to inflict; and
I am much mistaken in my opinion of your feelings, if
you would, under similar circumstances, have done more
than was necessary for the sake of example, and that
you, like the directors, would have felt that it was im-
portant, for the sake of example, that weight should be
attached to previous good conduct as that negligence
should be uniformly punished.—l am, dear Sir, your
obedient servant, " RICHARD CREED, Sec.
" J. Haywood, Esq., 1, Spencer-street, Leamington."
The jury retired, and afterwards came into court with
their verdict for the plaintiff, 3001.
In a second case, in which Mr. Haywood alone was
plaintiff, to recover expenses to which he had necessarily
been put by the illness of his wife, such asmedicalfor the
plaintiff, travelling, &c., a verdict was taken

BRITISH IRON COMPANY.
The general half-yearly meeting of the Old British
Iron Company was held yesterday, at the offices of the
Company, at the South Sea House, Threadneedle-street,
at two o'clock, Sir G. Larpent, Bart., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN then went through the report, the sub-
stance of which was that when the call of 1/., per share was
made in February last the directors hoped that the
amount realised would be sufficient to satisfy all the
claims on the company at that time unliquidated, and
they were happy to say that those hopes were fully re-
alised on the present occasion.—(Hear, hear.) There
were now now no debts owing by the company ; and the
memAbserHsAwiteErHeoierEenly kept together until the calls made

The CHAIRMAN replied that if the business could be

would be called for the purpose, but if they could not
succeed in that object they must abide by their deed of
settlement, and bring the business to a conclu-

STOCK EXCHANGE.—Our market has been for some days
past unsteady. Prices have, however, upon the whole, ad-
vanced, but no great amount of legitimate business has been
transacted, speculative bargains constituting the greater por-
tion. The quotations, in some instances, indicate rather the
necessities of the Bears (between whom and the Bulls a
fierce battle has been. raging) than the actual and bond fide
value of the stocks. Intending investors would do -well to
bear this fact in mind, and, previous to purchasing, institute a
comparison between the position and prospects of those un-
dertakings, the shares in which now bear a high premium,
and the probable position two or three years hence of those
undertakings, the shuies in which are at an inconsiderable
premium, or at a discount. The sales are—Eastern Co un
