LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEI—This Day

The market opens steadily at unchanged rates.
Sales probably 10,000 or 12,000 bales.

THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE'S kindly reception by
the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Eugenie.
A correspondent of the Times writes—You published an
extract from M. de Keratry's work on the fall of Maximi-
lian with respect to the arrival in Paris of the Archduchess
Charlotte and her interview with the Emperor Napoleon.
The .3lemorial Diplomatique, well known for its Austrian
partialities and connexions, denies the correctness of some
of M. de Keratry's statements, and gives a completely dif-
ferent version. It says that on the day after the Arch-
duchess's arrival at the Grand Hotel (which residence she
had preferred to a proffered lodging in the Tuileries)
the Empress Eugenie called upon her, and that the
interview, which had a character of most affectionate
cardiality, lasted no less than au hour and a half.
" From the moment of the Empress Charlotte's arrival
two carriages and four, with outriders, had been put at the
disposal of the august traveller, who, on the 11th of August,
went to St. Cloud to return the visit she had received the
day before from the Empress of the French. The Emperor
(who ha I then just returned from Vichy, where he had been
obliged to abridge his stay on account of bad health)found
himself considerably better, but t:•:o doctors forbade his
leaving his room and even receiving his Ministers, so the
Empress of Mexico could not see him that day, but only two
days later, when, on an intimation from the Empress
Eug6nie, she returned to St. Cloud, and had an interview of
several hours with the Emperor. While admitting to those
around her that the object of her journey to Europe would
not be attained, the Empress Charlotte attributed the cause
solely to the more and more strenuous opposition of the
Legislative Corps to the prolongation of the French expe-
dition. Finally, on the eve of her departure, the Emperor
and Empress went together to the Grand Hotel to take
leave of her Majesty, with whom they remained in conver-
sation for about an hour. At the moment of separation
the two Empresses repeatedly affectionately embraced each
other, and the Emperor kissed the hand of the Empress of
Mexico. A special train, with the carriage reserved for
the private use of their Majesties, was placed at her dis-
posal to take her to the Italian frontier."
BRAZILIAN AND RIVER PLATE MAILS.—The
Royal Mail Company's steamship Seine, Captain
Woolcott, with the above mails, arrived at Southampton
yesterday. She brings 50 passengers; specie, gold,
£13,202; and silver, £2,795; Spanish Bonds, £1,000;
thirteen packages diamonds, value not stated ; also 2,050
bags coffee, 150 barrels arrowroot, 150 barrels tapioca,
210 rolls tobacco, 12 casks wine, and 189 packages sun-
dries. Advices anticipated by telegraph via Lisbon.

ESCAPE OF A CONVICT AT PORTSMOUTII.—AS
a gang of prisoners who had been working in
the timber field on the extension ground of the Ports-
mouth Dockyard were being mustered on Monday even-
ing, to be conveyed to the prison for the night, one of them,
a young man, 18 years of age, named Edward Smart, was
missing. Although a Ftrict search has been made he has
not yet been recaptured; but it is thought that he is con-
cealed in the neighbourhood, where he is known to have
some friends.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO TILE MATOR OF DONCASTER.
—A fatal accident occurred to the Mayor of Doncaster
(Mr. Henry Woodmansey) early on the morning of yester-
day. A bazaar had been given during the preceding week
iu aid of the new infirmary in that town, and the very
handsome sum of £1,250 had been realised. As a termi-
nation of the proceedings an evening party was given at
the Mansion-house on Monday evening to the ladies and
their friends who had assisted at the stalls during the pre-
vious week. All had passed off well until between 1 and
2 o'clock, and the party was about to bo brought to a close
when the Mayor, on passing down the grand staircase to
his own parlour, slipped, and fell heavily to the bottom of
the flight of stone steps. Mr. Crawshaw had hold of the
Mayor's aria at the time and was dragged along with him
but sustained comparatively little injury. Not so, how-

over, the Mayor, who was taken up insensible, having
sustained a severe scalp wound on the side of the head and
injured some blood-vessel, as he bled very profusely. He
was immediately removed to his own room in the Mansion-
house, and had the best medical advice the town could
afford, but never rallied. lie died at 5 o'clock. The sad
event has cast a deep gloom over the inhabitants, among
whom the Mayor was universally respected.
The Sheffield Sawgrinders' Society—a different
body altogether from the Sawgrinders' Society to which
Broadhead, Crookes, and Hallam belong—have determined
to relieve themselves, so far as possible, from the taint of
the past. To that end they have dismissed all their old
officers, appointed others in their stead, removed their
place of meeting from a public-house to a class-room of the
Mechanics' institute, and appointed a committee to weed
the society of "suspicious" characters, and draw up a set
of rules to be submitted to Mr. Tidd Pratt for registration.

PIKE IN THE RIVER THAMES, NEAR WINDSOR.-
On Saturday last a gentleman angling from a punt in the
river Thames, on the border of the Home-park, between
the Victoria and Albert-bridges, succeeded in landing a
pike in fine condition, weighing 201bs. 20z., and measuring
in length ono yard three inches and a half.

CATTLE PLAGUE INQUIRY.—The return of the
reported cases of cattle plague in Great Britain, published
by authority of the Lords of the Privy Council, states that
during the week ending Saturday, Sept. 28, no case of
cattle plague had been reported from any part of England
Wales, or Scotland.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

A correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated
'aril, Sept. 28, says : _ . .

"In no department of the Exhibition is there
more activity of mind displayed than in that which
is allotted to photographs. No recent discovery ex-
cites more curiosity and interest, nor calls into play
more ingenuity and science and taste, than this of
printing by the aid of light. The art, in all its
various processes, has become of immense import-
ance, admits of innumerable applications, and gives
employment to a host of people, many of them
highly endowed. Far more thin the disc A-cry of
the telescope, of the microscope, or of a perfect
balance, it has made a new era in science ; and in
the fine arts, also, it has exercised a prodigious in-
fluence. It is stated ou authority that Sir Henry
James has already saved the British Exchequer at
least £40,000 by the use of photo-zincography in
the production of the maps of the Ordnance survey ;
and the copies of Doomsday Book now at Paris,
printed by photo-zincography, speak for the value
and beauty of the process. Photography is useful
in so many ways—in astronomy, in ethnology, in
anatomy, in botany, in architecture, in land survey-
ing, in engraving on wood and steel and copper, not
to speak of ordinary portraiture, that no modern art
can be said more truly to live than this ; and few of
us who visit the French Exhibition can form an ade-
quate idea of the vast amount of scientific research
and mechanical industry which are represented by
the hundreds of photographic pictures and appa-
ratus that meet our view. An index of patents
relating to photography alone tells us that down to
the end of the year 1859 upwards of 190 separate
patents had been granted in England ; and since
that period the number has been enormously in-
creased. This, however, gives a very insufficient
idea of the energy with which the wonderful art is
pursued ; for, in point of fact, the most important
discoveries in photography have not been protected
by the patent laws. Thus, the collodion process—a
process by which nine-tenths of all the photographs
in all countries are now produced—was made known
freely to the public by its originator. So likewise the
essential principles of all the various carbon pro-
cesses of printing were announced by their dis-
coverers without any attempt to secure their rights
by patent. So long ago as December, 1827, M. Nie-
pee, then living at Kew, submitted to the Royal
Society some pictures taken on silvered copper plates
smeared with the bitumen of Judea, a substance
which is soluble in certain essential oils, but not so
after exposure to light. Specimens of his skill are
in existence as perfect in appearance as on the day
on which they were produced. There is the begin-
ning of the carbon process. On the 29th of May,
1839, Mr. Mungo Ponton made a communication
to the Royal Scottish Society of Arts, to the effect
that bicromate of potash applied to paper in solu-
tion accepted a photographic image which could not
be removed by water, the portions protected from
the light being readily washed away. There is a step
in advance. In January of the last mentioned year
M. Daguerre in France, and Mr. Fox Talbot in
England, had each made public their independent
discoveries of the daguerreotype and the talbotype."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HO US E.

A CITY Firm OF SMASHERS.—Two dirty-looking men
and one slatternly woman, named respectively Jones,
Smith, and Partridge, were charged before Mr, Alderman
Lusk, at the Mansion-house, with having uttered a coun-
terfeit coin.

Sergeant Hancock, the detective officer on duty in King
William-street, stated that at about three o'clock yester-
day ho was at the corner of King William-street and
Cannon-street, when ho saw Jones and Smith passing, he
also observed the female prisoner following—not liking
her appearance he followed them towards St. Paul's
Churchyard. When they had got some distance down
Cannon-street, the prisoner Jones made a signal
with his hand to the female prisoner, and she came to him..
Jones spoke to the woman, and the other Kisoner Smith
was close to his elbow.. The woman put her baud in her
dress pocket, pulled something out, and witness saw a
piece of paper in her left hand, and she gave some-
thing to Jones. The woman then parted from them,
and they went towards the Sugar Loaf, in Canncn-
street. Witness followed them and met Chester,,
another detective officer, and they went to Mr. Palmer
the manager of the house, and advised him to look after
the money which was given to him by the prisoners.
Smith came in and tendered the shilling, which was found
to be bad. He then left the hous,-, and pretended to adjust
his boot, looking back at the publichouse to see if he
were followed. After following them for some little time,
witness took Jones and Chester took Smith. The woman
was afterwards arrested. The prisoners denied all know-
ledge of one another, but Smith afterwards admitted that
he received the shilling from Jones. _ _ .

The female prisoner, on being searched, was found to
have sixteen counterfeit coins about her—six in oLe paper,
four iu another, and six loose.

The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday.

BOW-STREET.

FORGING A POST-OFFICE ORDER.—Henry Gillott and
Richard Oldacre were placed at the bar charged with
stealing a Post-office order and forging the name of Mr.
Scully, their master.
William Miller, 148 G, said yesterday, about 11 o'clock
in the morning, he was in the money order-office, Bunhill-
row, and saw the prisoner Oldacre come in and present an
order for payment, saying that he came from Mr Scully, of
Gee-street, Brick-lane. Ho took hold of Oldacro and asked
what he had presented for payment, and the assistant
handed him a post-office order for £5. He told the prisoner
that ho was a police officer, and that he should taken him
into custody for stealing the order from Scully. He said he
got the order from a short, young man, who was in a
publichouse in the neighbourhood. Witness went there,
but could not find the person the prisoner had descrited,
and he then convoyed Oldacro to the station-house.
James King, the assistant at the post-office in Bunhill-
row, said the prisoner presented the order in the usual
course, and answered the questions he put to him correctly.
He afterwards was told by the constable that the order had
been stolen.

Mr. B. Scully said he carried on business in Gee-street,
Brick-lane. The order produced bore his signature, but it
was a forgery. He never authorised Oldacre to sign his
name or receive money; in fact, he did not know him.
The order produced had been stolen, together with the
letter in which it was enclosed. It came from a customer
of his, but it had been intercepted in its delivery.
Miller then said he apprehended Gillott yesterday on a
charge of stealing the letter containing the Post-office
order. He at once admitted it, and said he had taken two
letters beside, and that he had given them to a companion
to get changed.
The solicitor to the Post-office said he was unable to
proceed further with the case at that time, and the pri-
soners were remanded for a week.

PICKING UP A FRlEND.—Cornelius Bush was charged
with being at the Charing-cross R3ilway Station for an
illegal purpose.

iionCktOn, the police-constable on duty at the station,
said yesterday he saw the prisoner in company with
another person leading in a gentleman who was very
drunk. They went into the refreshment department, and
having partaken of some wine, they left the bar and went on
to the platform. He, observing the gentleman wore a very
valuable Albert guard, and ether articles of jewellery, and
that he was quite incapable of taking care of himself, ho
went up to him, tolling prisoner ho was a police constable,
and, on telling theprisoner to leave the station he violently
assaulted him. He afterwards took the prisoner into
custody.
Prisoner said the gentleman was a friend of his. He
sold him walnuts daily in Cannon-street, and that meeting
him a little bit intoxicated, ho had made up his mind to see
him to the railway station. There ho was taking sherry
with the gentleman, when Monckton came up and ordered
him off. He did not feel disposed to go at his bidding,
and therefore objected, and the result was ho was taken to
the station-house.

A warder from the House of Correction said the prisoner
had been eight or nino times in prison, and that ho was a
well-known thief.

Mr. Vaughan said he had no doubt but that for the
vigilance of the police-constable the gentleman would have
been robbed of everything he possessed. lie, therefore,
committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour.
