asserted that the present Ministry did not merit the

proving that a Ministry who had so much improved
the condition of the country, and had exerted them-
selves so much to increase its resources, could not be
said to have forfeited the confidence of the country
and of its representatives. The Chamber several
times manifested its assent to the above remarks.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 25.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvAfis.)
IN RE TAYLOR.
The bankrupt, J. E. Taylor, was described as a law
stationer, of Chancery-lane. This was the last exami-
nation meeting.
Mr. Hawkins appeared for the assignees, Mr. Link-
later for some creditors, and Mr. Lawrance for the
bankrupt.
Mr. LAWRANCB said the bankrupt was not ready
with his accounts, and by the consent of the assignees
be proposed to take an adjournment for six weeks, tile
bankrupt undertaking to file his balance-sheet within
three weeks, to give the assignees time to investigate it.
The debts and liabilities were said to be about
12,0001. ; assets to the amount of 1,0001. had been
realized, and 2,0001. or 3,000/. more is expected to
be realized.
An adjournment was ordered.
IN RE IL G. WOOLCOTT.
The bankrupt was a fringe manufacturer, of Eve-
rett-street. This was a last examination meeting.
Mr. BAYLIS, for the assignees, said the bankrupt
had absconded with about 2,0001., and he made an
application to the Court to allow certain costs to be
incurred in effecting his arrest. The petitioning cre-
ditor, who had a claim of about 1,700/., had himself
become a bankrupt in consequence of the bankrupt
Woolcott absconding.
The COMMISSIONER—Where are the funds to come

from ?
Mr. BAYLIS said, unfortunately there were none yet,
but they might be fcrthcoming. He referred his
Honour to the 255th section of the Bankrupt Law
Consolidation Act.
His Hoproug, having referred to the section, said
he had no power.

MANCHESTER, OCT. 25.—Scarcely any change hag
occurred in the state of our market during the present
week. Ordinary runs of flour have moved off slowly,
and as is usual under such circumstances, prices have
been with difficulty supported; whilst for really extra-
superfine qualities a good inquiry has been experienced
and extreme rates were realized fir the few parcels
offering. Oatmeal has continued to meet a free sale on
fulfulls
previous terms. The imports iato Liverpool and
Runcorn are of a similar character to those received for
several weeks past, consisting merely of moderate quau-
Utica of oats and oatmeal from Ireland, and of
and flour from abroad. At our market thiseiaonnwrgdnheietnoiangrt

GE LIMAN Y.

The Military Journal of Prussia notices the in-
creased attention paid to the condition of the different
fortresses of the continent, and endeavours to justify
it as a necessary precaution. It considers the doc-
trine of the unimportance of fortified places, created by,
NAPOLEON'S system of war, as exploded by later ex-
perience. It asks—
" What has become of the time when it was the fashion
to say, ' We have no need of fortresses; Napoleonproved
that these heaps of earth and stone are useless; we
leave them behind and march direct on the capitals.' Such
were the phrases in vogue immediately after the close of
the war of Liberation, and in the' twenties,' such was the
general opinion, shared even by experienced officers.
The first shock the idea received was given by old
General Chasse and the citadel of Antwerp.: Since
1848 the principle has been quite abandoned, and ap-
pears likely to give place to its direct opposite. The
fortifications of Paris—those excellent positions, if there
is a good commander in every fort, that great folly, if
only one commander does not do his duty—was the be-
ginning of the change. Look at what Austria is doing,
and must do in Italy, and it will be comprehended that
fortresses will play a chief part in any future war.
* * * But not in Austria alone—everywhere the ne-
cessity of such strong points is recognized, and unhap-
pily, mostly against internal foes. Wherever we look,
spade and trowel are labouring against future balk, and
if the sifrnatura tempo? is do not deceive us, such defences
will be wanted."

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
Saturday:—]

RUSSIA,

A letter from Berlin, dated October 23, says there
is a report of a conspiracy against the Imperial
Government at St. Petersburgh, mentioned in the
second edition of the Cologne Gazette, which, if true,
is very important. I translate verbatim the commu-
nication I allude to :—" Rumours are in circulation
of a newly discovered conspiracy among the
&allay at St. Petersburgh, and of the arrest of
several considerable persons standing very near the
throne. The discovery, it is said, was made by
officers of the body guard of the Emperor, whom the
conspirators endeavoured to bring over to their party,
nut who revealed the whole matter to the Emperor.
Further details are not known. The St. Petersburgh
journals make no allusion whatever to the affair. But
it is not to be expected that in Russia such events
should be publicly announced till three or four
months after their occurrence."
London, England, 1851-10-27

THAMES.

On Saturday Cornelius Carley, an Irish labourer,
was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley,
charged with wounding Ellen Quin, a girl 13 years
of age, with an iron poker, and also with assaulting a
youth named James Cottony, by striking him with
the same instrument, and also biting his cheek in a
very savage manner.
The prisoner being called on for his defence said,
" OA, nothing, Sir ; sure it was the li►ttle dhrop of
drink did it all."

Mr. YARDLEY said he would give the prisoner time
to reflect by inflicting a fine of 51. for the assault on
the girl, and sentencing him to two months' impri-
sonment in default of payment.

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OP THE CANADA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
By the arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship Ca-
nada, Harrison commander, we have received advices
from New York to the 14th, and Boston to the 18th
instant. The usual telegraphic dispatch from New
York had not been received at Halifax when the Ca-
nada sailed.
The Canada bas bronght the Washington mail-bags
and 39 passengers, but no specie.
The United States mail steam- ship Atlantic, West
commlnder, frcm Liverpool, had not arrived at New
York on the morning of the 14th inst.
The United States mail steam-ship Washington,
which sailed from New York for Southampton on the
4th inst., returned to New York on tho morning of
the 12th inst. Iler machinery had been disabled, it
having broken the strap of the starboard crosstail link.
At the time of the accident she was proceeding under
the usual pressure of steam, with a smooth sea. She
was being repaired, and would resume her voyage on
the 18th instant.
A telegraphic communication from Toronto states
that Messrs. 'Elicits and Morin were conducting ne-
gotiations for the formation of a new Ministry with
every prospect of success.
We have advices from Vera Cruz to the 4th inst.
Accounts from the capital to the 7th ult. represent
the Government to be in great confusion, and almost
without resources. The Treasury being at the lowest
ebb, ineffectual attempts had been made to form a new
Cabinet. The Government were not yet aware of
the revolution in Northern Mexico.
In the New York money market a great stringency
continued to be experienced, and high prices had to
be made for accommodation; for sterling exchange
there was but a moderate inquiry, and drawers were
rather firmer. The leading houses asked 10-1 for
sterling, but the market ranges from 9:3-, to 10k, with
but little inquiry. Several failures are announced at
Salem, amongst them Mr. Pingree, whose liabilities
are nominally stated at 750,000 dolls., and his assets
at 250,000 dolls.
Cotton had declined lc. per lb., with very light
sales, but on the 14th the market showed signs of
activity.
The flour market, which had been much depressed,
had assumed a firmer tone.
Wheat was not much inquired fur; lower rates
would be taken to make sales.
Indian corn was unchanged.
Provisions inquired for at previous rates.
Scotch pig iron in good demand at 20 doll. 50c.,
six months.
Freight to London, 31 to 31 per bushel for wheat
and Indian corn, and 30s. per ton for cheese.
Advices from Havannah to the Bth inst. contain no
news of interest. Sugars were quiet, the finer quali-
ties being scarce, the stock and shipments amounting
to 130,000 boxes ; molasses selling at 24 reals.
Exchange on London, 11/ premium ; money
easier ; rates, 9,1- to 10.
The indemnity subscription bad reached 150,000
dolls.

Freights had improved.
CHARLESTON, OCT. 12.
fiThere was very little demand for cotton to-day
forced sales to the extent of 1,000 bales were made at

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
By the arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship Ca-
nada, Harrison commander, we have received advices
from New York to the 14th, and Boston to the 18th
instant. The usual telegraphic dispatch from New
York had not been received at Halifax when the Ca-
nada sailed.
The Canada has bronght the Washington mail-bogs
and 39 passengers, but no :pule.
The United States mail steamship Atlantic, West
commander, frcm Liverpool, had not arrived at New
York on the morning of the 14th inst.
The United States mail steam-ship Washington,
which sailed from New York for Southampton on the
4th inst., returned to New York on tho morning of
the 12th inst. Her machinery had been disabled, it
having broken the strap of the starboard crosstail link.
At the time of the accident she was proceeding under
the usual pressure of steam, with a smooth sea. She
was-being repaired, and would resume her voyage on
the lath instant.
A telegraphic communication from Toronto states
that Messrs. Hineks and Morin were conducting ne-
gotiations for the formation of a new Ministry with
every prospect of success.
We have advices from Vera Cruz to the 4th inst.
Accounts from the capital to the 7th ult. represent
the Government to be in great confusion, and almost
without resources. The Treasury being at the lowest
ebb, ineffectual attempts had been made to form a new
Cabinet. The Government were not yet aware of
the revolution in Northern Mexico.
In the New York money market a great stringency
continued to be experienced, and high prices had to
be made for accommodation ; fur sterling exchange
there was but a moderate inquiry, and drawers were
rather firmer. The leading houses asked 104- for
sterling, but the market ranges from to 104, with
but little inquiry. Several failures are announced at
Salem, amongst them Mr. Pingree, whose liabilities
are nominally stated at 750,000 dolls., and his assets
at 250,000 dolls.
Cotton had declined Ic. per lb., with very light
sales, but on the 14th the market showed signs of
activity.
The flour market, which had been much depressed,
had assumed a firmer tone.
Wheat was not much inquired for; lower rates
would be taken to make sales.
Indian corn was unchanged.
Provisions inquired for at previous rates.
Scotch pig iron in good demand at 20 doll. 50c.,
six months.
Freight to London, 31 to 3-1- per bushel for wheat
and Indian corn, and 30s. per ton for cheese.
Advices from Havannah to the Bth inst. contain no
news of interest. Sugars were quiet, the finer quali-
ties being scarce, the stock and shipments amounting
to 130,000 boxes ; molasses selling at 21- reels.
Exchange on London, 111 premium ; money
easier ; rates, 9i- to 10.
The indemnity subscription had reached 150,000
dolls.

Freights had improved.
CHARLESTON, OCT. 12.
There was very little demand for cotton to-day;
forced sales to the extent of 1,000 bales were made at
a considerable decline; fair quoted 8i to B,f.

GERMANY.

The Military Journal of Prussia notices the in-
creased attention paid to the condition of the different
fortresses of the continent, and endeavours to justify
it as a necessary precaution. It considers the doc-
trine of the unimportance of fortified places, created by
NAPOLEON'S system of war, as exploded by later ex-
perience. It asks—
" What has h-come of the time when it was the fashion
to say, ' We have no need of fortresses; Napoleonproved
;that these heaps of earth and stone are useless; we
I cave them behind and march direct on the capitals.' Such
vere the phrases in vogue immediately after the close of
the war of Liberation, and in the twenties,' such was the
reneral opinion, shared even by experienced officers.
7the first shuck the idea received was given by old
General Chasse and the citadel of Antwerp.' Since
tB4B the principle has been quite abandoned, and ap-
r ears likely to give place to its direct opposite. The
fortifications of Paris—those excellent positions, if there
a good commander in every fort, that great folly, if
only one commander does not do his duty—was the be-
I ;inning of the change. Look at what Austria is doing,
t aid must do in Italy, and it will be comprehended that
fortresses will play a chief part in any future war.
* * But not in Austria alone—everywhere the ne-
cessity of such strong points is recognized, and unhap-
pily, mostly against internal foes. Wherever we look,
spade and trowel are labouring against future balls, and
if the Aignatura temporis do not deceive us, such defences
will be wanted."

13.100211ERISM EXTRAORDINARY.

Yesterday alternoon, a female, attired in full
Bloomer costume, made her appearance in St. James's-
park, aboutbalf-past three o'clock, accompanied by a
protector, who, however, was not walking arm-in-arm
with his fair charge. She was rather a•pretty looking
young woman, of about twenty-four. years of age,
rather below the common stature, and evidently well
suited to encounter the various circumstances that
her bold conduct exposed htr to. After making a
circuit of the enclosure, she went through the St.
James's Palace-yard into Pall-mall, and thence up
St. James's-street into Piccadilly. She then went
through Burlington-arcade, Burlington-gardens,
Vigo-street, Regent-street, R..gent-circus, and Co-
ventry-street, into Leicester-square, the mob swelling
almost incredibly.

In Leicester-square the crowd could not have been
less than 3,000 persons, and, instigated by a man who
was there selling penny plates of the Bloomer costume,
the rabble portion of them gave some hearty cheers.
Nothing daunted by the remarks with which she had
been greeted during her progress, she walked to the
corner of Cranbourn-street and Long-acre, or St.
Martin's-lsne, and then turned back to Leicester-
square. Up to this time the only actual personal an-
noyance she had experienced was from a young urchin
in St. James's-street, who pulled the riband of her
chapeau, and was rewarded by her protector with a
smart cuff on the head. In Leicester-square, however,
on her return, from the mischievous disposition evinced
by some of the youthful multitude, the beadle con-
sidered it necessary to interfere, and, assisted by three
policemen, he managed to keep off the mob, which, in
their curiosity, where pres.ing round her on all sides,
till a cab was brought, into which she and her protec-
tor quickly stepped, and were driven off at a rapid
pace in the direction of Piccadilly. This is the boldest
step towards 13loomerism which has yet been made in
L ondon .—Sunday Paper.

The imports have amounted to 32 casks from Hamburgh,
194 bags from Antwerp, 36 ditto from Rotterdam, 10

fire qualities are quite as dear, but other kinds are a

The public sales of Colonial Wool commenced at the
Hall of Commerce on Thuraeay, and will be continued

till the 15th proximo. About 6,000 bales have already
been disposed of. Low qualities at very full prices;
medium ditto, at an advance of id, and fine atlid per lb
compared with the rates paid at the previous auctions.
The attendance of both home and foreign buyers has
been ♦ery large. The stock in warehouse here is about
60,000 bales. Very little is doing by private contract,
owing to the high rates demanded by the importers.
Last week's imports into London were 1,200 bales from
Odessa, 1,300 from Sydney, 48 from Bombay, 555 from
tort Beaufort, 600 from Hobart Town, 14 from Ant-
werp, 500 from Algae, Bay, 13 from Rotterdam, and 8
