and at public sale the greater part offered was bought in.
FRUIT.—At public sale there was a very limited attend-
ance of the trade, the season being now far ;%dvanced.
Good old currants, however, sold rather .freely at firm
rates. Raisins are held for former values.

tion sold for 354 per cwt.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY.
A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor
presided, was held yesterday at the Tuileries.
The following is an extract of a letter from Cal-
cutta, dated 9th Nov., received by a gentleman in
Paris :

" You will be surprised to bear that hundreds of our
countrywomen and men are flocking back to their old
homes, and although they can geb no passage on board
the steamers they are travelling by boats. Those going
up do not go beyond Patna, where the country is
considered safe. Troops by thousands are pouring in,
and right glad are we to see them. For 400 miles,
or from near Calcutta to Benares, the road is as the
natives say ' a fair ;' there are nearly 20 officers on
duty along the mai merely to feed the soldiers, and at
every 30 or 40 miles there are thousands of bullocks,
sheep, bread, wine, beer, beds, &c., &c., for our brave
men, who are all carried in horse or bullock waggons
—not one is allowed to tire himself by marching. How
fresh they will arrive at their destination I Tae muti-
neers are all collecting in Oude, where I suspect they
will receive their last and complete overthrow ; they
number perhaps 100,000 strong of all sorts, sepoys, bad
characters, zemindars, and all sorts of vagabonds. We
shall lose many officers and men, for the wretches are
going to fight, but as many columns of troops are to
enter Oude simultaneously, there is no possibility of their
escaping."
Instructions have been forwarded to Baron Gros
to act in concert with Lord Elgin in all things, and
to be guided by the counsels of our diplomatist.
BOURSE, Dec. 17.—A notice has been posted up
at the Bourse, stating that the Board of Directors
of the Bank of France had decided in their sitting
of to-day that the rate of discount should be fixed
at 6 per cent. This announcement produced a cer-
tain buoyancy on all securities ; but several sales
having been afterwards effected for realisation, the
upward tendency was momentarily checked. The

WESTMINSTER.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT.—AIexander Cummings, a
was placed at the bar before Mr.
middle-aged man,
Arnold, charged with feloniously embezzling divers sums
of money received by him on account of his master, Mr.
John Todd, baker, 7, Hereford-terrace, King's-road,
Chelsea.
Prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his
service as journeyman for the last eight months, and it
was a part of his duty to carry out bread to the cus-
tomers and receive their money, which he should have
accounted for each night, but failed to do so in very
many instances. He not only embezzled ready
money received from day to day of customers, but
when some of the customers paid large bills, he
only accounted for a portion, and returned their name;
as still being indebted in various amounts. Prosecutor
had three customers present, whose money he had
embezzled, and there were no less than twenty other
cases against him.
Mrs Fox, of 7, College-place, stated that she was a
customer of the prosecutor's and paid for her bread daily
as she received it.

Prosecutor proved that prisoner had not accounted
for any money received of Mrs. Fox during the List
fortnight.
Mrs. Edwards, another customer, showed that she had
paid the prisoner ss. 10d.
Miss Woodfall stated that she had paid him 7g.
Prosecutor said that neither of these sums had been
paid, but as prisoner had accounted for other sums on
those dates to Mrs. Todd, he was remanded for her at-
tendance.

THE DISCUSSION ON THE SUNDAY
QUESTION.

The discussion between the Rev. R. _Maguire and
Mr. Langley, which was noticed in The San of
yesterday- was resumed last night at Exeter-hall,
under the presidency of Mr. Baxter and Mr. Loa-
den, the latter gentleman appearing in the place of
the Rev. B. Powell, who was prevented from at-
tending by indisposition. The hall was again
crowded to the utmost, and the appetite for Sab-
batical controversy manifestly whetted rather than
appeased by the contest of the previous evening.
The proposition to be affirmed on the one side and
denied on the other was That the opening of the
public inuebums, galleries, libraries, and gardens,
after divine service on Sunday mornings, would
tend to elevate the moral and social condition of the
people." In support of it, Mr. Langley referred at
some length to the mode of observing the Sabbath
in some parts of the Continent, to the opening of
the Dublin Zoological Gardens and the gardens at
Chatsworth, and to the Sunday band experiment,
as proving the beneficial influence thus produced
on the moral and social character of the working
classes ; and he drew the inference that an exten-
sion of Sunday recreation in this country would lead
to a corresponding extension of benefit. On the
other hand, Mr. Maguire maintained that Sunday
recreation was not the true cure for moral and
social evils, and in his concluding address—for, as
on the previous night, both the disputants were
heard twice—he warned the working men present
that if the views of the League were carried out,
they would ultimately lose Sunday as a day of rest.
The mee'ing seemed to be pretty equally divided
het ween the opposite views of the question, but no
resolution was proposed at the close of the discus-
sion beyond a vote of thanks to the two chairmen.
The proceedings last night were very animated, and
at times even uproarious.

THE LAUNCH OF THE LETIATKAN.

Mr. Thomas Gould has addressed the following
letter to a contemporary
" Sir,—ln common with all Englishmen, I have felt,
and still feel, a great interest in the Leviathan. I bare
watched her with admiration and national pride upwards
"from her cradle," as promising to be the greatest
beauty of the age, and deeply regret to find ineffectual
the many attempts hitherto made to induce her to take
the water.

Dynamic science is certainly far advanced at the pre-
bent day ; but the engineers, employed to launch this
Queen of the Ocean, either do not understand the science,
or have made some very sad miscalculations as to the
force requisite to move so large an inert mass on a given

incline.
"I respectfully suggested to Mr. Brunel a plan, which,
in my bumble opinion, was not only quite feasible, and
to be accomplished at comparatively small cost, but
which would also obviate all risk of loss of life, and the
necessity of using the vast amount of cumbrous check-
tackle, &c., &c., the breakages and inefficiency of which
have helped additionally to retard the sufficiently slow
progress of the vessel towards the element which, 'tie to
be hoped, may one day become her home.
" My plan was To urge the vessel forward by
means of endless screws attached to the cradle., and
working on a continuous thread of the length of the in-
cline she has to travel.' This was sufficiently simple and
available at (comparatively) very small cost."

THE WESTERN BANK OF SCOTLAND.

GLASGOW, THURSDAY.

At the adjourned meeting of the shareholders this
afternoon the report of the committee of investigation
was given in. It stated that the liabilities of the bank
were 8,911.9321. ; the assetsfor payment of the liabilities
were 8,607,2401., showing a deficiency of assets o
304,6921., and thus making, including the capi.-al end
rest, reported in last statement at 1,715.8921., an
estimated loss on the whole transactions of the company
of 2,020,5841. The heads under which the deficiency
arose were &mutely stated. On bills held by the bank
the loss was 437,0001. ; on advances and balances on
current accounts, 885,0001 ; on securities held in New
York, 60,0001.; on debts in suspense account, 685,0001.,
and other itemr. The assets were valued as for winding-
up, not as a solvent and going concern; but, with
prudent management and better times, there might yet
be a great saving on the estimated los,.
The bank's misfortunes are attributed to gross
negligence on the part of the directors, and wild
recklessness in Taylor, the late manager.
After a stormy discussion the committee was reap-
pointed.
The shareholders again met on the 30th current to
take steps for winding up.

Country Markets.

LIVERPOOL-SEPT. 29.

At this day's market the lost tone of Friday, as.regards
the wheat tr vie, was recovered, having a fair attendance
of millers anti dealers, and a moderate amount of business
was transacted at fully Fsid..y's rates. Good American
flour has stood firm through the week, and has been scarce
an i dearer. Country and Irish sack flour has met a dull
silo at tid to is cheaper. Indian corn moves .only in re-
tail, and prices barely supported. Irish new oats and new
oatmeal being in full supply, declined ld per 45lbs, and 15
to is 6tl per 210 lbs. Peas advanced full 2s, good Bahia
being now held at 438 per 501113 s—some prime Danzig sold
at 504. *Barley and beaus rather easier in price.

THE ROBBERIES AT ST. PAtiCRAS WORKEIODSE.—Yei.
terday, at the weekly meeting of the directors, Mr.
Churchwarden Wyatt in the chair, a discussion arose as
to the master's not having sent in his resignation in ac-
cordance with his previous- declaration. Mr. Glazier
said that the master bore a high character, and could not
be charged with these robberies. The chairman said he
charged him with great neglect in allowing them to go
on under his nose. Towards the close of the meeting an
intimation was received that the cook had been taken
into custody and brought up at the Clerkenwell Pact!

A MOVE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.—EFFECTS OF
INJUDICIOUS INTERFERENCE.— Hannah Theobald, a
woman 50 years of age, was placed at the bar charged
with robbing Margaret Moss, a poor widow, living at
34, Exeter-street, Chelsea, of a woollen j icket, a petti-
coat, and (Aber articles.
Prosecutrix said ehe got herliving by going out charing
and nur-ing. She was engaged in the latter occupation
yesterday, and was away from home. Oa her return in
the a ternoon she missed the property above described
from her room, the door of which had been opened with
a false key. The loss to her was very serious, as she
was very poor. Prisoner occupied the next room to
her.
Elizabeth Hendon, a fellow lodger on the ground floor,
said that during prosecutrix's absence she heard pro-
secutrix's door open and saw a person leave it, but could
not say who it was.
Mr. Payuter—ls the property fouod
Policeman—Yee, sir. The prisoner being suspected
' I was sent for, and she was taken into custody. Di-
rectly after that the offence was proved by the pri-
soner's own daughter sending a person who is now pre-
sent to redeem the property, which was pledged for 4-4.
The daughter is here.
The daughter was put into the witness box, and com-
pleted the ca-e against her own mother, by stating that
she found the dupLeate of the things in the cupboard.
Prisoner now pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to
two months hard labour in the House of Correction.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 30, 1857.

The advices by the Overland Mail have been
received, and considerable extracts will be found
in another part of our impression. The tele-
grams contained in The San of yesterday were
more complete than usual, ,and there is a decided
improvement on the part of those entrusted with
the duty of preparing the summaries. As before,
however, they are, generally speaking, more
favourable than the full intelligence, preparing
the public mind generally for the bad news ilea
must speedily follow. With the single exception
of Delhi, there is no place in which our position
has improved, or our prospects appear more en-
couraging than heretofore. The accounts are,
according to the general rule, of a chequered cha-
racter, but more than ordinarily disastrous.
General HAVELOCK—no longer a Brigadier,
bill, thanks to the tardy recognition of the au-
thorities, a Major-General and K.C.B.—has again
distinguished himself, and his followers have
proved themselves worthy of their truly illustrioui
leader. But, unfortunately, his victories have
been dearly paid for—his resources too severely
taxed. His column has been reduced to 900
bayonets, and he could not reasonably hope t
cope with the tremendous odds which he
should be compelled to encounter. His gallant
soldiers were worn out with fatigue and
almost superhuman exertions. They could not,
however, obtain the repose so greatly needed.
Their countrymen and countrywomen were be-
sieged at Lucknow. Not merely the'garrison, but
English women and children were placed in fear-
ful jeopardy, and every one of the scanty but
determined band was animated by an unflinching
resolution to save them or perish in the attempt.
We had heard of the triumphs of the 29th aid
30th July at Busserut Gunge en route to Luck-
now. He was, however, obliged to retrace his
footsteps to Cawnpore in order to place his sick
and wounded—and disease had made ter-
rible ravages on his Brigade—in compel-f-
-ile() safety, and also to secure the guns which
he had captured from the rebels. On the 4th c f
August he again moved forward. Ou the follow
jug day he had another sharp conflict with about
5,000 mutineers, whom he engaged, and as usual
defeated, again capturing their guns. Ho again
pushed on to Busserut Gauge, but having
ascer-
tained that the rebels were more tbansotoe did in
liwai
obliged to retire on Cawnpore, which he
perfect order.
On the 12th August he was attacked on the
north bank of the Ganges, but again discomfited
his assailacts, and again, captured their guns. lt
would not have been courage, but reckless mad-
mess to have attempted more in the direction of
-Lucknow. He kept the rebels in full occupation,
although unable io give complete relief to
the beleaguered garrison. It is still hoped that
they may have been assisted by a party of Goer-
khas—the same whose aid was so contumeliously
rejected by Lord CANNING. This is, however,
e-xceedingly problematical, and we must still feel
deep arxiety for the fate of the garrison, and the
fugitives who have taken refuge along with them.

within 28 years at compound interest. What,
then, has been the loss ? We may rail at direc-
tors of joint-stock companies, who disregard
the interests confided to their charge. What
should be thought of responsible Minioters who
exhibit greater carelessness and indifference ? If
the loss by the Nelson or the Royal Frederick was
but 50,0001. or 60,0001., and it is, we be-
lieve, far below the mark in either case,
it would now amount to 200,0001. or
240,0001., at compound interest. We might,
in fact, have an entire Navy for India, aye, no
less than a dozen Navies, for sums recklessly
squandered in the Dockyards in fiddling with
vessels never finished or turned to beneficial
use. Never was a stringent investigation more
urgently required than into the naval adminis-
tration, or, rather, mal-administration, of the
country. We trust some independent member
will demand it. We cannot think that with
the instance of the Nelson, the Royal Frederick,
the gun-boats, &c., &c., any Minister would dare
to resist the demand.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LOWESTOFT AND BECCLES.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Saturday at Lowestoft ; Mr. E. Leathes in the chair.
The Secretary read the report, which stated that the
directors had approved the terms proposed by the
Etstern Counties Company for working the traffic on
the line, and had authorized the preparation of an agree-
ment for carrying the Faroe flute Effect. The arrange-
ment was not to prejudice the provisional agreements
already entered into between Sir M. Peto and the com-
pany. A third call of 21. per share had jest been made
to en ibis the contractor to proceed with the works. The
whole of the land required for the hue was purchased,
and the works were progres,ing. The directors felt
coarident that the line woull be completed and opened
at the same time as the East Suffolk ReiLeray. The
aecounti showed that 6,4911. had been received to the
30,h June, and 6,3821. expended, leaving a balance of
1091.

On the moton of the CHAIRMAN, the report was
opted, Mr. T. Peto and Mr. Loathes, the retiring di-
re ciors, were re elected ; and Mr. C. Welton was elected
auditor in the room of Captain Andrews. The direators
wera authorized to rai-e 23.000/ on debentures.

Tito proceedings concluded with votes of thanks to Sir
M. Peto ler the satisfactory manner in which he was
tx,euiti,g the works, ar.d to the directors for their at-
tention to the interests of the company.

The following is an extract of a private loiter
from-a caval,y officer before Delhi. The officer
Who writes it commands a wing of the 17th Punjab
Irregular Cavalry, the other wing being on duty in
the Punjal).
"Camp, near Delhi, July 9.
"Duffadar Mahomed Hoossein (a Sowar of the
17th Irregular Cavalry) was conveying a-letter t
Brigadier-General Chamberlain, in which I strongly
reconimended him to the favourable consid.'r-ttion
of Major-General Reid for behaving very well on
the ni4lat of till 3d inst. in protecting Government
property. He had arrived within two miles of
cantonments when he met a body of the enemy's
cavalry, followed by our infantry and guns firing
into and at theth. They hailed him, Who are
you ? Come with us to Delhi.' He nobly replied,
I am going to the General in cantonments with a
letter.' They again hailed, ' No, come with us,
and one of the mutineers shouted out, him,
ho belong 3 to the Be-eemans' (those unfaithful to
their religion). Upon this he was fired upon, the
bsll passing through his clothes under his left arm !
Hoossein shot the man who fired at him de3d with
his pistol, and galloped back to me ! I again sent
him off to the brigadier, with an additional letter,
asking him to allow the man to tell his own story,
and stating that I thought he bad fairly won his_
spurs. He will doubtless be made a native officer."
The wing of the 17th Irregulars to which
Hoossein belongs arrived in camp before Delhi
with a convoy of 150 waggons of powder and 28
waggons of treasure in the beginning of July,
having marched down from the north, and
latterly passing through a disaffected district with-
out losing a man or a rupee. The general was
pleased tl expres his approbation of the conduct
of the men and of the officer commanding the
detachment.

of prices fully equal to Monday last, and at which a good

Fine foreign wheats moved off steadily, at extreme

Fine malting barley' was in request, at full prices. Light

Tuero was only a moderato inquiry for malt, on former
