ams against 404,086 tons in tle corresponding month

Ile commercial advices fron New York state that the
recant recovery of the stock market has been maintained,
although the news from Eui.ol.e was discouraging. The
distrust inspired by the disclosures, both in England and
America, of the irregularities in the transfer department
of railways, had caused stock to decline in price.
GREAT WESTERN Or BINGAL RAILWAY.—The Mae-
ter in Chancery numphry 13a3 at length decided that all
transfers of shares or scrip is this abortive company are
illegal and void, and has dimmed the declaration of a
dividend of the assets in the hands of Mr. Quilter (of
the firm of Quilter, Ball, and Co.), the official manager,
among the original allottees of shares, the remit of
which is that the transferees of shares or scrip will not

be entitled to participate.
GALE AT LIVERPOOL. —LIVERPOOL, Monday.
blew a severe gale from the northwest on Saturday
night and Sunday, but decreased tais morning. The
casualties reported are trifling. The chief damage has
been sustained by the American ships ashore on the
Burbo Bank—one of which has entirely gone to pieces
—the Louisiana, for New Orleans, and another, the S.
M. Fox, for New York—is rapidly breaking up.
Tue screw steamer Constitution is hourly expected at
Southampton from Antwerp on her way to New York
Sbe belongs to the same line as the Belgique, the pio-
neer ship of the Belgian Transatlantic Steam Navigation
Company.
THE BRAZILS.—The steam-packet lino between South -
ampton and Brazils, by the Union Screw Company's
steamers, will be suspended this month. The steamer
Celt, belonging to that company, will not leave South
ampton unql the 23d of next month. These steamers
will in future call at Pernambuco, as well as at Bahia
and Rio de Janeiro.
ARRIVIL OF THE MADRID. The Peninsular and
Orieetial Company's steam packet Madrid, Captain
George Bradshaw, Admiralty agent,Lieut. Darby, R.N.,
arrived at Southampton with the Peninsular mails
yesterday. Her dates were—Gibraltar, Nov. 15 ; Cadiz,
Nov. 16 ; Lisbon, Nov. 19 ; Oporto, Nov. 20 ; Vigo,
Nov. 21. The Madrid brought 15 passengers, amongst
whom were Sir John Rennie.
THE STEAMER EUROPEAN.—Captain Ellison has been
appointed to the command of the European, which takes
out the next Australian mail. This was the officer who
made the celebrated boat voyage from the Alacranes to
Sisal, when the Tweed was wiecked on the former, some
years since. He also commanded the Avon during the
great storm in the Black Sea, and saved his ship by per-
forming the daring feat of running her through the
rocky and narrow ensrance into Balaklava harbour
during the height of the storm.
Oun OCEAN STEAMERS.—The freight charged for the
specie taken out in the Peninsular and Oriental Corn-
nany'e steamer Colombo last week amounted to nearly
12,0001. Since the enormous exports of silver to the
East the passengers and specie freight by one of the
Alexandrian packets amounted to the value of the ship.
The length of the lines which the Peninsular and Oil
ental Company's packets at present traverse is 17,664
miles. There are now two important mail steam packet
lines in connexion with that company's packets, which
are worked by independent companies—via., the one
between Aden and the Mauritius, and that between
Calcutta and Burmab. The highest single passenger
fare in the world is 1651. which is the aunt charged by
the above-named company for a passage from Southamp-
ton to Shanghae. By recent arrangements the arrival
home of the West India packets fits in with the depar-
ture of the East India ones ; this has increased the
wonders of modern travelling. A person can now take

east on the coast of China. During this period he would
have travelled nearly 15,000 miles, have crossed two
oceans and two great seas, sighted some of the most re-
markable places in ancient and modern history, and
landed on the four quarters of the globe. The expense
of such a trip is 2201.
SUNKEN WAR VESSELS AT SEBASTOPOL TO BE RAISED
BY AN AMERICAN.—A Boston paper says :—" John E.
Cowen, Esq., of this city, who is now in Russia, has
just entered into a contract with the Russian Govern-
ment to raise the ships of war and other vessels, 52 in
number, sunk in the harbour of Sebastopol at the time
of the siege. It will be remembered that Mr. Cowen,
under contract with our Government, succeeded, after
repeated efforts of British engineers had &fled, in raising
the wreck of the United States steamer Missouri, sunk
in the harbour of Gibraltar. Mr. Cowen will commence
operations in the harbour of Sebastopol next spring."
PoRT OF LONDON.—In the general business of the
port of London during the past week there has been con-
tinued activity. The number of ships reported inward
was 280, showing an increase of 51 over the previous
week. These included 54 with cargoes of grain, rice,
and flour ; 23 with fruit of all sorts, 9 with sugar, and
1 with tea. The number of vessels cleared outward was
103, including 12 in ballast, showing a decrease of 25.
In the Attstralian trade there is a considerable diminu-
tion in the number of vessels on the berth. The total is
45, being a decrease of 11 from the last account. Of
those now loading 6 are for Adelaide, 3 for Hobart Town,
3 for Launceston, 3 for Melbourne, 1 for Moreton Bay,
7 for New Zealand, 14 for Port Philip, 6 for Sydney, 1
fer S Nan River, and 1 for Warrnambool. The depar-
tures from the port.of London for the Australian colonies
during the past week have comprised 7 vessels-4 to
Sydney, 2 to Launceston, and 1 to Hobart Town, with
an aggregate capacity of 5,594 tons. The rates of
freight exhibit a tendency to increased firmness.

the unfortunate George Carter, who was murdered in a
secluded spot in the vicinity of Erith, was resumed
yesterday at the Crown hotel, Erith, and again

crime, and who committed suicide on Friday last in the

MURDER FROM bISAPPOINTED LOVE.—LEICESTER,'s
la f Worrall's
fAhr
Mondae.—This morning a man named Wedge, a brick-
layer h
oerer, was brought before the mayor and
sitting magistrates at the Town-ball, charged with the
wilful murder of Eliza Bond, by administering poison to
her. It appeared that the prisoner had for some time
an
returned in t
he
been paying his addresses to the deceased ; but a few
weeks ago she gave him notice that his attentions would
no longer be acceptable, and the prisoner was supplanted
by another party. He then declared be would poison
the young woman. Last Saturday evening he was in
her company and offered to fetch her a bottle of Scotch
ale, to which she consented ; but immediately after par-
taking of it complained of feeling ill, and died yesterday
morning. The circueistat.ces of her death led to sus-
picion being entertained of poisoning by strychnine, and
the prisoner was consequently apprehended. Only the
bare facts of the case were given in evidence this morn-
ing, and the prisoner, who denied the charge, was
remanded. A coroner's inquest will, however, be held
this evening, when medical evidence will be adduced as
to the cause of death.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT. —On Fri-ley last Miss Ricardo, of
Titness Park, Senninghill, sister to Mr. S. Ricardo, M. P.
for Windsor, was riding through the Long-walk, iu corn-
parry with her brother-in-la 4,, Capt. Bastard, and his
daughter,three of the Misses Codrington,and Major Blane.
After passing the double gates, the horse ridden by Miss
Ricardo suddenly bolted. As the animal reached the gate
at the end of Park-street, the porter of the Upper Lodge,
leading to the Ca3tle, ran to shut the gate, but had not
' I time to close it within a yard, when the horse, in attempt-
ing to force itself through the narrow space, brought
, the lady in violent contact with the iron post. The col-
lision threw Miss
Ricardo off, and she sustained a severe
fracture of the thigh. She was taken to one of the royal
lodges, where she received prompt medical attendance ;
2,nd her thigh being partially set, she was conveyed to
Titness Park, where she was Attended by Dr. Ellison,
of Windsor, and Mr. Brown (the family surgeon), of
Sunninghill. Mies Rkardo, we are happy to say, is
doing well.
