By throe means he rrotects the master as epithet the worker. M. Ilansentann had already privion.lYX-H ten ted the banker against the private trader io 're , of credit. There was en old-estabiished loan fund in P ro ws (darlduracasse), and out of this any trader, workman, or artisan, if he were eatablished, could borrow a sufficient sum on • simple declaration counter signed by two other trader', workmen, or seisms. M. Reutemann put an end to rim, and to loan can be given, except on bills of ex change—the interference of the banker being thus, legalised to the detriment of the private trader. AU this is • blow to the middle clams, utd the memory of it will stick ; the more so, if • grard protective sys tem is Fussed.

On the 30th et November, he reports, we saw Cape Prue and cm the MA of lic-easber Trinity bleed, hams been unul then delayed by calms, or opposed by contrary winds. On the 30. h the weather was fine, a gentle brim, vim blowing from east north east, 1 mused as clime as I dated to the Isle of Trinity, in order to obsetve whether any shipwrecked or lost persons were on tat shore. Abnut ten o'mock we perceived a smoke on the matb•east rent of the island, and concluded that there must be some sae there; presently we perceived signals of ffistrise. The first c , ji et which caught our right was ama tied to the end of a broken piece of ni.st, and waved in the air. Presently we sae two men oo the shore Having brought tel I approached at near so possible to the coast. I sent out the long best, having on board lour sailors of tried courage.

Yesterday evening a public vestry wu held in the vestry from of a•. George the Msrtyr, Southwark, in pursuance of s riquisition from the ratepayers to: the per pow of eons d, ring .he mo, d. ty of petitioning the lintel& tare for a told repeal of the window duty ; and also to take into consideration the preprirty of petitioning parliament for • representative control over the management end 'awn& lure of the county MIL Mr. A. CHIIIB7II, churchwarden, la the chair. Me CHARLES PALMER moved the first resolution, to the following effect: That the window du' ies were impolitic, I unequal, and unjust, and oucht to be entirely abolished with. not further dell : that the window tax not only operated unequely sod oppressively upon the occupiers of the middle and lower class of houses, but was entirely destructive of all those sanitary improvements which had been sancticood by the government and legislature. Ile believed that the opinion of the injustice of the window tax was so universal , that it would not be tannery for him to soy one word to prove the injury which it caused. (Hear, ken.) He would, therefore. content himself with proposing the resolution. Mr. HEARN seconded the resolution. He had ty. seven good reasons for doing so. (" Rear, bear," and laughter.) He believed there was not • second opinion so I to the inspoliey and iejusties of maintaining a tax on air and lon light. (Hear, hear) The tax produced • large sum of ; money to the , but nobody could suppne that the would L•se to the entire extant of that tax which was tak,n off. (He's., hear.) The money which was saved by the readosin of the window duty would to some extent be expended in other articles from which the nuance was derived. (Hear, hen) The window duty was a war tax and when the nee silty for which it was imposed no longer existed it might to be abolished. (User, hear.) Mr. ARCHER quite conentred in the expediency of n , pealing the duty on windows, bet, he believed, that the repeal of the window duty would not afford thatsatisfaction whin' it was calculated to give, if it was true, as was reported, that a house tax was to be substituted for it. No doubt there I would be a gain in • sanitary point of view, but as the . I government were in a " fi x ' with regard to the unitary question, and as the government had • surplus revenue, 1 he believed they ought to be asked to ties off the tax on windows without substituting the hoses tax. (Hear, hoar.) Mr. BAKER thought that every government should rule, on the principles t f justice. N.,w it was quite clear that the window tax could not be levied on persons in proper• tion to their income, and it being no I.thger necessary for ' the prams of revenue, it was manifestly see jars.. on prim ' ciple. He thought therefore th eir demand should be baud on its injustice stone, and that the sanitary question should I not be mixed up in any way in the matter. He should I therefore move an amendment to that effect. said be quite agreed with the gentleman w►o spoke last so to the icjustice of the wi"dow tae; bat he thought it would be mach better to go to parliament with the doable reason—that of the injustice of the tee, and its *jerk's effec's upon the health of the people. (Hem.) The ameadment was pot, and finding no support, was deeiareil to be lest. The origiaal resolution was then put acd carried unani mously. Mr. C. PALMER moved the next resolution, to the effect that a petition, founded on the for, going resolution, be presented to revilement by Mr. Aldermen Hutopkery, sad that Sir W. Moloworth sad the county memben be r► quasted to support the same. Mr. REACH semaded the resoluties, whisk, after a short Mummies, was agreed to. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1851. THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. " papal aggreision ha settled by the House of Commons (Casters.) What, I want to ask, is this demand : Is this a question that ean be ',Vied by pilitieians ? (Coos's.) I speak as a poli:ionn. I may Petite it is my own mind as a Protestant, and aa • protestant I mar have sty own opiniuse. I have my own opinions : I am bound to have my own opinions as an individual. Bv.rybody is blond to have his own opinions as an individusi, end I s ,y he Ins a right freely, I and I doubt if it be not his duty, to vindicate his own opinions. And if be has an aggressive opponent, who advocates other I opinions, I should doubt very much whether he is not bound even Gently to defend the opinions he en. tert,ins—always. of course, as an individual. (Cheers ) But I wont to ark if there in any rams why religious ques tions should not be removed out of the domain of polities, the same as in the United Btres of America ? (Londebeers.) GREAT SOIREE AT MANCHESTER TO DISTINGUISHED MEMBER‘ OF PARLIAMENT. MANCHESTER, Jaw. 24. There wan a Tory importatat and influential gather- Jen here last svenicir, at the Albion Hotel, which had been celled tcgetbet by el . :cuter, couched is the following unpre- kndiog terms " 5, Newall'a•bdldiagr, Manchester, Jan. 13.—My dear Sir, I respectfully requrst the honour of your company at a aerial soiree at the Albion Hotel, oa Thursday the 23rd inst., to nest the lumbar, for 33ath Lancashire, tho member tot the west &tiro' of Yorkshire, the members for the Borough Lord Carlisle, when he—l wall not say &weeded from his seat in the cabinet, I. delver an giddier to the Meehancias' . . of Manchester, to.--I remain , yours eery sincerely, Gho. lestitution of Leeds—bat when he honoured himself by coming out of the cabinet for that purpooe—(cheers)—made a remark which, coming at the time it did, I think expressed more than the words would naturally do, when he said, " I °online I do envy the temple!. toleration which exists in the United States.' (Cheers.) I think that was a significaat expression, aad might be taken, probably, to forufy those who believe in the rumour that the cabinet is not quits united upon the question of papal aggression. (Rear, hear.) In the United States the Pope any appoint bishops whenever he plumes; he may parcel out that vast continent into as many dioceses as he please., including California— (laughter)—he may send tielmany cardinals as he plesses ; and no matter by what pompous phraseology all that be done, the United States politicians, and the United States legislature at Washington, would be perfectly indif f.rent to all. I say that we will have toleration and religious freedom is this country, cost whet It may. (Loud cheers.) I AO not stand here as the advocate of the potion:is of the Roman catholic body. A. a politician 100 not presume to offer my opinions on the faith of any man. Even oa the polity of the church-1 might on that subject be allowed to offer an opinion ; yet, at the present moment, when county meetings were held and advertised partly at the expense ell Roman catholic. themselves, who pay rate. as well as pro testiest.; when, I say, so much abuse is lavished on them e I should be loth to offer any obeervation upon the polity of the church. But 1 may be allowed to say that I am no friend to the organbation of the Roman catholic body, speaking of it as an organisation. It is too centealising fi r me; it is too subduing to the intellect for me; and if I changed any religion at all, I should b. as little likely as any gentleman in this room to go into that religion as any on the face of the earth. But, at the same time, let the Roman catholic" living in England be allowed to judge for them selves, not only of the faith they profile, but of the mod. in which they like to organise those who follow their spiritual teaching. (Cheers.) Why should you dic tate to the Roman esthetics whether they shall he governed by a cardinal, an archbishop, or a bishop ? We shall be told pretty often, no doubt, that unless gown. ment interfere, the privileg.a and prerogatives of the Quin of Ragland will be invaded by the Paps,—not by Cardinal Wiseman. Cardinal Wiseman is a British 'object; be cannot invade the prerogative of the crown without !wing guilty of high treason; and if he is so guilty, let him be tried by the law. But what prerogative. have been invaded by the conduct of the Pope? Not the temporal prerogative. Why, the Pope has at this moment in his army • few thousand French and Austrian troops. And 1 have it on the beat authority, that if these troops were removed dire would be the dismay and speedy the flight of the whole body, pope and cardinals. It is not, then, the army of the Pope that is to tiereeten the temp iralities of the crown. Are the temporal prerogatives threateued by sea? You may have a list of the active naval form of the Pope ; it amounts to two gun brigs and • schooner. Put one quarter of our effective service on the coast of Sussex, it would be quite sufficient to guard the whole Wand against it. It is not, then, the temporal sovereignty or the secular privi legs of the Queen that can be endangered by the Pope, but her spiritual dominion, we are told, is to be perilled. Now are we, as politician., who are called upon fairly enough to vote money for ordnance, and for shot and eheib, to meet and repel the aggressive enemy that meets us with similar weapons ? Are we to forge the spiritual inlay with which we are to mat the aggression? if we are, I beg you to con , eider how capitally we are suited in the House of Commons for that purpose. 1 won't say a word to asperse the character of that body of which 1 form • humble unit—l mean the Igeaeral character of that body, as a religious body. You may say, if you will, and believe, it you please—l leave you to enjoy the pleasures of your credulity—that • large ma jority of that House of COMMOna are living in an especial odour of sanctity and piety. You may believe it it you please ; I offer no opinion on it, for being one of the body, and having to face them in about a fortnight, I hope you will excuse my expressing an opinion on the subject. Bat ad mottles, if you pleese—admitting that we are, the great majority of us, eminent for our piety—how are we con stitoted Are we all churchmen, owning the spiritual authority of the Queen? Why we are about forty or fifty of us Roman esthetics, and, mark me, yea will have a great many more Roma. catholica returned from Ireland at the nest election. We have an independent or two, we have three or four unitarians, and we have a Quaker, I am happy to say, and I wish we had a good many more. And we have a prospect of having a Jew. (Great laughter.) Now is not that • very nice body of men to uphold the Queen's supremacy as head of England's church? Why, gentlemen, it you wanted to give as a task in the House of Commons which should last till Doomsday, and that we should therefore put off, as no doubt Mr. tench Stowell would 'moire, all "fora., ee.wher a cal or parliamentary, till that remote day ; then give us the task of settling this question of papal aggression. (Hear, hear.) 1 say, give it to po lit.cians to settle ' if you want it never to be settled at all. (Cheers.) But there is one thin 3 that has been said by those who preceded me—they have alluded to the bigotry, and fanaticism, and ignorance, which prevailed fifty years ago amongst the mass of the people at this country. Now there is one symptom, and al MOB' the only symptom,which has consoled me in this agitation for religious disabilities, and it it this—the calm, passive, and, in many respects, con temptuous silence and indifference with which it has been regarded by the great mass of the people of this country. (C errs.) If the same tumid , . had occurred fifty or sixty years ego, owing to tut then ignorance and bigotry of the team of the people of this country, half the Roman catholic chapels would have been in flames, and halt their mut ma' lives in danger. (Hear, hear.) And I teank the demonstration only for this: that it nas given me, more than anything else, a conviction of the erect pro , greet that has been made in real intellig, ace by the great mass of the people, especially in the north of England. Cheers) I will not say so muchjor the south. And I can oe' say much for the corporation of London. (Cheers and laughter.) Why, only think of that corporation professing to represent the city. Only thick of it! Last year setting Stair up and agitating in • ferment of enlightened intelli gence and patriotism, in favour of religious liberty to the Jews. (Hear, hear.) When has there bun such a spud.- ale, even so absurd • spectacle, exhibited as that which was show°, when the London corporation took that great ginger bread coach, the pattern of 200 years ago, and clothed the =- selves in that Bartholomew fair dress of their. ' ad took a man with a fur cap, whose pattern dates back, I believe, five essweries, with a long sword in his hand, and all the other as, of the paraphernalia of the corporation of London, and went down by the railroad to Windsor in °id.r to present an address to the Queen, in order to put down—popish mummeries! (Immense cheering, followed by roars of laughter.) if you went to sea mummeries, go and see the lord mayor's procession. I have seen the grand ceremonies in the Vatican at Laster, I have seen the most gorgeous religious processions the church et Rome can bout of, bat I never saw anything half so absurd or half so offensive to intelligeace or common soma as the mummeries in which the corporation of London indulge every year. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, only one word more, a. a politicise again, but not as a party politician, if you please. Some thing has been said about conduct or miecoadact during the last session. 1 don't come here to answer to you, because I have not the honour of representing most of you. But this I will say, I am exceedingly tolerant of every member of the House it Commons who strain. a point to vote with the go vernment, because he has been some fifteen or twenty years longer in the political arena than I have been. I know perfectly well that on the Manchester Exchange, and the Leeds Exchange, and the Liverpool Exchange, where the Globe paper is t aken, and that being a whig paper, when persons au it speak against the member for the West Riding, they are apt to think there must be a great deal in it, and that the member must be making himself especially ridiculous in the House of Commons. (lieu, hear.) I am not a disappointed demagogue; if eve: there was anybody who ought to be satisfied with his public career, it is I. (Enthusiastic cheering.) I thank you for giving nu the scaly response which could relieve me from the imputation of great egotism in saying an. (Renewed cheering.) Well, as I said before, my pillion is not the same as that of I Hr. Brotharton. I have lived no limy that I cannot see tle line of demarcation between while and tory. I cannot see what principle the whigu advocate which the tories do not advocate. I find from Lord John Russell, in the House of Commons, not simply great impatience, but petulance, and I had almost said greet insolence, in his dealing', particularly in the remarks he has made to oar friend Mr. Bright—who, I am sure, is very iedifferent to the remarks themselves—but they are sufficiently important as Indicating the tone of the man supposed to be the leader of our pasty. (Hear, hear.) I must confess, that, in regard to fiscal matter., I am bound to say I believe the opposition party would do quite as much in the way of r•- trecchmeot as the whige. lam not sure that they would not do more. I believe Sir Jamie Graham, for instance, would show lees subserviency to the Duke of Wellington, in arrangements, than Lord John Russell. or Lord Pal merstoo. I believe is colonial policy, whilst Sir Robert Peel resolutely refused to add another acre to our tropical posses sions, the present government are taking possession in Axis, as well as Africa, of tracts of tropical territory which, I believe, notwithstanding anything that may bo said to the isentrary by the Manchester Association, are only calculated to entail additional expense upon us, instead of benefiting as, as a free trading community And I feu that next ses sion we shall be placed in a still worse dilemma, if we are to believe the reports that Lord John Russell, instead of Ming the champion of religious liberty, is going to embank in a crusade against religious freedom. I shall then find myself still further alienated from the present party. But this I say : If I cannot say that I have at least the liberty of voting in the House of CAIIIIIOIII for sonsatkihs diffetent to that which aow exists—if I cannot hopes to see 'Me 'hasp and some reform—at least if I am not allowed rho be. advocacy of my own opinions foe gone distinct panel different from that which is now the rale of conduct wide whig and tory—why am I to be dais( up till twelve *Wok every night in the Home of Commons ? This rho appaistod dalcagesso wants an public estplopaest: it I did, Vimsow." The invitation wu well responded to, and the oompany included the following gen . lemen: George BA., _ _ chairman ; Richard Cobden, El., M.P. ; R:ght Mon. T. H.

He commenced by pointing attention to the sact easeful issue of the policy supported by Me. Cebien and bis friends, in reference to the national ammeter, and ettributed the leaning towards radar:Om of taxation shown by the pre sent government to the it.fitienc: of the council of the free trade party. He &clued bimeelf opposed to dealing with taxation upon the marrow grounds of wheth• r there wai a surplus ore deficiency, and wished to me it based upon cocs.dered principles. Ile then enumerated several taxes which might be reduced without losing us. He in- evinced the tales on tea and coffee; end, referring to the rumoured abolkioa of the window tax, he censured the proposed substitution of a house tam He then gave an eloquent summary of the 'tegument/ in favour of the abolition of tams upon knowledge, ani si:vocated the removal cf the stamp, advertisement, and paper duties. Ile then turned to a consideration of the Roman catholic question. Toe Met is (said the right hon. gentlemen) I really am quite at a loss to know whit to do with what is called the human catholic hierarchy, except to let it alone. (Laughter end cheers.) Toere may bi some pet scheme bidden in the racemes of Downing street, but as far se I ern capable of judging, I am quite at a loss to know upon what ground • country, which protasis to bate ad , pted the principle of religious liberty, to be progressing towards the abolition of the word " amendarey," and the repudiation of the word " toleration "—(cheers)—• country which woksss to ask for religions equality—urn what rule can such • country make the Roman catholic* an ex ception to their rule ? (" Hear, hear," an applause.) If the Rama embolus, were to come to parliament and say, " The heed of our church, the Pope, has given as bishops, and we ask you to give these bishops legal recognition —powers by law to enforce their jurisdietior," then 1 should say that such a demand must be visited wi.h the moat strenuous ppositioa. (Applause.) But if amongst tbemselves they support those dignitaries by their own voluntary contribu tons, having so jurisdiction except such as tho free will of the English catoolica chose to accord them, then I my that it is extremely difficult, without violating those principles of religious equality, on which I am prepared to take my stand (cheen)—to bung forward any legislative enactment bear ing upon it the stamp of disability upon religious argued'. If you makes retrograde step with regard to religious equality, it is not clear that you may not do so in civil and commercial freedom. (Hear, hear.) The same pri..ciple of injustice is at the bottom of political monopoly, commercial monopoly, and religious monopoly. (" Hear, hear," and applaus-.) Favouriusm to clam against class is at the b ttom of all these monopolies; and we should combat thc ascendancy principle, whetter we find it in religion, in politics or in commerce. (Cheers ) Error may reign for a time. But let us combat error with Until ; and in the long run truth will var quish error. (Cheers.) It is better to risk the temporary success of error than to encounter the dangers of religious persecu. Lion. (Hear, hear.) I bay. perfect confidence in the sound policy and wisdom of acting consistently upon the broad I Principles of religious equality. Coder those principles, I I believe troth will triumph, and a greater amount of indi v.dual and collective happineas will be secured, than under 'say principa of ascendancy which the ingenuity of man could devise. (Tremendous cheering.) Mr. Anal. Harasser, 31. P., briefly addressed the meeting, and was followed by Mr. J. C. Dula, who expressed regret at the result of the Reform Bid, observing that in 1810, when we bad a borourkmon,garing parliament, the peop.e's party was 80 to 90 in the house, and it was no more ' mows (Hear, heat.) Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., was next introduced to the meet- Mg, and was received with enthusiastic bursts of cheering. The hon. gentleman commenced hie speech by referring to the many signs of the political and social progress made in the counties of Lancashire and York within the last thirty pars, and congratulated his audience on the absence In then counties of intnterance, as exempt fled jet their conetuct during the last three mouth,. There had been attempts to frighten the country out of its propriety. The cocknies bra been much frightened—the parochial mind of the yeti• ous divisions of London; but what had been the state of feeling in Lancashire and Yorkshire ? Toe most influential organ of pubic epinion from Hull to Leeds, Manchester, and L'verpool bed opposed the cry of intolerance elsewhere raised the agitation bad tailed amongst the three millions of the population of this king dom that inhabit the counties of Laucuter and York. Look. lag forward to the coming session, Mr. Bright said it was not because some 60 er 90 only voted for some measures, that therefore these 80 or 90 were all who were on the side of reform; those 80 or 90 were behind a government which I were se.el to be a liberal government, and which men who were willing to give men credit for all kinds of virtnes, called a 'liberal government. Why, the whip in wen totally different creatures to the whits out. (Applause.) It was quite notorious that the timid, the rawer far-seeing of the respectable damn, had been willing to keep the whigs in, because they knew if they were out there was no kind of desperate measure which they wont.: not recommend. And he ventured to say, that u the members of the present cabinet were on the other side of the house, there would hardly be a single proposition which Mr. Cobden had proposed, and which any one had seconded or supported, that they would not have supported with an ardour and a pelilial partizanship which his (Mr. Bright's) party hid sever exhibited. Taey went there without any tape tatioa of getting titles, and places, and thousands a year. Tory likely, if they had those expectations, their feelings would be stimulated eemetimes, and they might by excited to bitter and irritated expressions against their opdonents. But there was nothing of that kind in their case. They sat amongst some who voted with them so constantly, but who told them that if Mr. Dioaell should show an in. clination to go right for once, they were to go wrong to oppose him. He for one could not con sent to do so. Even though they should semetimn p wrong, even though they should occasionally vote against the government, when their constituents might think that without abdicating their position or principles they might have • oed with them, whatever slight error they might at any time commit, that error wee abundantly compensated for by the existence of some 60 or 100 men in ' the House of Commons who have a regard to the opinions 01 their constituents, or (what is even a tar better guide) to the principles which they have learned, which they have taught, and which they value. It was far better fr r the country that there should be such a party, then that any ministry that ever existed in this country should be kept in office. Mr. COBDEN presentee: himself amidst great cheering. He said—l find that what I told you in the Free Trade Hall just three years ago, that we might live to see the time when the expenditure which sufficed for 1836 would soffits agaio, is in process of being realised. We have already made such ' progress, the some four or five millions of reduction in our expenditure has taken piece. (Cheers.) I have no doubt that further retrenchments are going on at this very moment; and I now repeat, not only my conviction that we may return to the expenditure of 1836, bat that we shall ore long attain that point, and that we shall not stop even there. (Hear.) As fiscal questions will engages pert deal of attention in the craning parliament, I would have you rigorously to draw a distinction between two questions which are very often jumbled together, causing groat con fusion is the public mind. I mean the difference between a surplus caused by increased revenue, and a surplus ones. stoned by reduced expenditure. (Loud cheers.) The government comes forward with a surplus of 2,000,0001 : arising from an increase in the receiptsof the various exist lag tears; and the government is then too apt to take credit to itself for the great merit of having effected the super abundant revenue. They do not tell you, and you are too opt to folget it, that this surplus is merely the effect of your having given, out of your pockets, 'vast 2,000,0001. more into the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in one year than you did in the last year ; and then the Chaecellor of the Exchequer says very graciously, "I have 2,000,0001. more than I estimated, I will return it to you." " Thank you for nothing," is all that you should ever say for that. (Cheers sad laugh•er). But I wish yen to watch the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he brings forward his budget, and to look critically and rigorously at the amount of the reduction of his estimates for the neat year's expenditure, as compared with the estimates of last , year. (Rear. bear) If, in the ensuing session, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer don that which he may do, bring forward a reduction in oar eetablishmente, as be may da if the govensmeat are so incli.t.ed, then you may have an estimated surplus over the expenditure of next year of nearer 5,000,0001 than 2,000,0001. (Cheers.) The sur plus that is now being estimate) is upon the present year's estimates. I want to are tee neat year's estimates, and the budget, that we may judge of the government by their estimates, and not by nay cc they may have reached. For the last two or throe months there has not been a calm is this country. I wish you to bear in mind, that when we meet, ere another fortnight, in parliameat, oar time will then, I fear, be very much occupied with the dinned= of another question ; for, if we may believe Mr. Hook Stowell la what he told us at a very large assembly in Man chester, every political question of fisal, social, or any other Tykes, must be suspended until this one pest question of I might havehad ft b- km now.

THE HOMEWARD CARGOES TO SOUTH- AMPTON. (From the Hampshire Atirertiger.) "The steamer - arrived yesterday at Southampton, with the West India mails. Her cargo consisted of specie 2.003,000 dollars value; 250 awns of cochineal, 20 boxes of pearl., 60 cases of succades, and 60 live turtle." " The steamer - arrived yesterday at Southampton, from Alexandria, with the heavy portion of the India moil Her cargo congaed ed 600 bales of silk, 60 cases of shawls, 50 barrels of ivory, and 150 packages of sundries." These are portions of almost weekly announoements in the London and Southampton papers; and they are made fro frequently and with such indifference, that no notice is .aken of them. They do not appear to excite the slightest interest or curiosity even in Southampton. One would imagine that the inhabitants of this town would feel curious as to the origin, natur,, and me gnitude of the gorgeous treasures landed at their port. Thrice every month there come up Southampton water the 'twat costly and coveted products of the eastern and the western worlds ; gold from California; silver from Mexico and Chili; platina from Peru; pearls from the Boy of Panama and the Persian Gulf; diamonds frost Golconda; dye ruffs from Central America ; shawls from Cashmere ; turtle from the Bahamas so aides from the Caribbees ; ivory from Egypt and Arabia, &e., Att. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocs. The Englie& funds continue firm, and, considering that this is the last d-y of the week, when t-e trans actions are usually more limited, a good business has been done at an advance ofd on yesterday's range. Otherwi.e there is no feature of particular novelty. Consols opened 961 to "4 for money, and 9G to for the account of the 12th Feb., at which rates they are also quoted at this moment, only a fraciionsl variation having occurred ainc the commencement of business. It is through Southampton that the precious metals are flowing into Europe in such quantities as to alarm statermen and the whole mercantile world—creating by their abundance commercial and political protbms, which the wisest cannot solve, and threatening el. influence on nations more import ant then that produced by change of dynastirc or govern manta. Gold and silver, to the amount of 5,000,000 i, ster ling, are annually imported into Siuthampton. The gold principallyconus from California, and although called gold dust, it resembles in everything but the colour, which is a dull yellow, the small water-worn gravel that may be picked up on the inclined beech near the Southampton Platform. It used to be imported in skins, but it is now g Ily brought in wooden b.,xes, the rirn of which varies from a few inc►es to a couple of feet in length, breadth, and ds pth. A great portion of the silver is importrd in what it called bars. They are of a piano convex form, each about two feat long, six inches broad, and thick, and weighing about three. quarters of a hundredweight. A short time since the officers employed to superintend the embarkation of the eyed*, brought by a Wtat India steamer, were surprised to find am , nget it a number of bat ere& and apparently old and word out tin saucepans, such as are to be found on duet heaps. Th-se sauc•paee turned out to be made of platina, a metal which is obtained from the Peruvian mimes, and was unuoown to the ancient world. It in harder than iron, re aisle the action of air, acids, and alkalies, and in beauty, scarcity, ductility, and indestructibility, is equal to gold and silver. . _ The prices of actual transactions are officially re porte4 as follows : —Three per Cent.

When all the specie has been landed, the doors of the store me locked, while the officers of Customs and of the mail steamer, together with the clerk, of the West India CM. pany, are checking cff the ship's manifest ; and when this is done, the gold and silver are placed in Fennel carriages, drawn up close to the store, and are transmitted, caretelly guarded, to the Bank of England.

When it is pierced with a steel Instrument by the Custom-house officer, to asceetain if it contain, contraband goods, or not, the co chineal is found in small purple coloured shrivelled pieces, each of about half the size of a pea. It beam no resem blance to an animal substance, yet it is the body of an insect with the head and legs rubbed off. The cochineal insect, when alive, must be about the size of the small red tweet called a ladybird, found in Bugiish gardens and meadows. When a piece of cxhineal is rubbed on a damp white surface, a dirty red colouring is prcduce.l. By some Two o'Caoex. The share market opened with a buoyant appear ance this morning ; and a large and satis'actory busi mes offering, prices of marry every description o stock experienced a further advalce. The rise is most perceptible in Great Weiteras, Lancashire and Yorkshit ea, Brightens, Midlands, and York and North Midlands. Within ohs last hour, however, some reaction nos occurred, the range of prices having, in many instances, ;;one back to the closing qaotatioi.s of 3 esterday's market.

It is abated that an agreement for an an algamation has been made between the hoards of the Eastern Counties and the Eastern Union companies, end which is to include tl o Norfolk. However desirable such an amalgamation may be between the E astern Counties and the Eastern Union, many of the share holders are of opinion that the arrangement with the Norfolk is disadvantageous, and el.culd be set aside. The present arrangement would he the means of riveting the Norfolk yoke on the Eastern Counties shareholders, and it will most llkely be strongly opposed at the meetitg. artificial prepsrativn it forms the - basil of carmine, and of the brilliant crimson and scarlet dye stuff used in our textile menufactures. Some idea of the myriads of cochineal insects which muse exist is Central America may be formed by considering their minuteness, together with the weight of each seron of cochineal, and the thowands of serous that are imported into Southampton alone. Saccades (pronounced seikkadea) are those delicious jellies and preserves known as Guava jelly, preserved ginger, limes, and tamarinds, manufactured in the West India Islands. Some of these delicious confections would not have been unworthy to rank with the fabled ambrosia of the Pagan deities. The honey used in them must surplus in rich ness and flavour that which need to be extracted from the far•famed honeycombs of Hymettue ; for it is distilled from tweets that cannot be found in the fields or gardens of Europe. Live turtle are brought in the West India steamers, princi pally from the Bahamas, to be converted into soup for epicures. They are immense creatures, and ate kept alive daring the voyage by the sailors swabbing their eyes sad months, every time they clean the deck. Occasionally a boat is filled with water on deck, into which the turtles are allowed to refresh themselves, and amuse the mangers with their unwieldy gambols. One of the most singular sights to be seen en board a West India steamer, when she arrives in the Southampton Dock, is 40 or 50 gigantic live turtles, lying in a row on their backs, on the lower deck. Their heath are rather elevated, and their fins appear like short and useless wings by their sides. Their helpless state, and ridiculous position, appear at first sight irreeistibly ludicrous ; but the muscular =Aims of their throats, which are ~perpetually craviog tor moisture, and their piteous look, as if imploring to be saved from the tureen, would excite aldermanic sympathy, and induce civic functionaries to eschew cruelty even to the amphibia ; and to sit down almost contented to a plate of ox-tail or mock turtle. The silk brought to Southampton by the Alexandrian steamer is the raw material from China. It is brought in small bales, for the convenience of transport access the Egyptian desert, and each weigh, about 1 cwt. The cov.ring for the silk is a species of matting made of cane. Upwards of 600 bales of silk have been brought in one cargo, the value of which has been nearly 100,0001. The shawls beought by the steamers are from Cashmere, a place celebrated in Indian romance, and ircm other parts of India. These fabrics are the fittest and most costly in the world. Hundreds are brought in one cargo, many of which, embroidered with gold and silver, are worth between 2001. and 3001. each. They are imported in boxes made of the wood of the camphor tree, lined with tin, and the interior of which is pro'uaely strewed with pepper and other spices to scare away insects during the voyage.
