LOUD JORN RUSSELL AT LEEDS. - The most brilliant and successful soiree ever held, is connictinn with the Leeds Mechanise' Institute slit Literary S•xiety, took plan on Wednesday night, antler the presidency of Lord John Russell. The scene of the soiree was the Music-hall, which was crowded to excess by a most enthusiastic audience. Ilia lordship took the chair at 7 o'clock, prior to which for two hours every seat in the hall was occupied. Around his lordship on the platform was as array of distinguished guests, including Lord Beau mont, the Right llon. Mr r. Baines, M.P., Sir George Goodman, NIT., the lion. and Rev . the Dean of Repute, Henry C ole, Esq., C. 8., Professor Phillips, F.It.S., George Cruikshank, Esq., the Mayor of Leeds, E. Baines, Esq., and the leading gentlemen of the locality. The I . IIESIDFNT of the Institution opened tbe proceed ings by giving a statemeut of the present position and prospects thv institution. The nunsber of members was 2,003. The finances were ell a m-art satisfactory state, the treasurer having a balance in hand. Lord Joon RUaalltLL nee to address the meeting amidst the most enthusiastic plaudits, ech , ea and re-echoed lions every part of the ball fur some moments. When ailcuce had been in some measure restored, he spoke as follows : Ladies and gentlemen,—Your excellent president having eonseyed to me a wish that I should preside at this met ing of the Leeds Mechanics' Institute, I host great plea• are in complying with his request ; for, since the first institu tution of mechanic s institutes, I have had the greatest satisfaction in seeing how much they have contnbuted to the instruction of those who belong to them, and to the general knowledge and the general welfare of the country. I had the pl..ruarr of avuothy lye. Ilirkbeck to the begin ning of these institutions. (.• liver, hear," and cheers.) I wish now, as far as I am able, to address you upon some points of gs neral concern. My ignorance of the particulars and details relating to this institute would make it an im perOseses on my part if I wore to attempt to go into those details to nhich your president has referred. I am glad to see by the list report of the institute that the various objects to which it is intended to minister—the schools, the classes, the instruction of various kinds, and the library— have been all well aupported, and th at there are no less than two thousand members b:longing to this institute. It occurs to toe, however, that if I could address anything to you worthy of ob.srvation, it would be rather upon the general state of knowledge at this time, and the prospect of what is before us, than upon any particulars relating to the lasutute over which I am now presiding. Let us °Meese how very elaerent the present state of affairs is from the time when the great foundations acre made for the purpose of education and instruction. Before the Refor mation. and immcdia'ely afterwards, gnat aunts of money: and broad lands were gives for !the purpose of ensfowing academies, colleges, and schools, for edu cation. Oar ancestors thought, and I believe wisely thought, that the best plan that they could adopt won to promote, or to provide, the means of teaching th, science and literature which had bees derived from ancient nations, for in those days those sciences and that literature contained all that was known to The a Ivancernent of literature and science; for while the former has opined out to ill, votary the archives's, the past, and is heroine the depository of the present fur his ihstruc bon and guidance, so also to the steady pursuit of the latter does the Englishmen owe the elevated rank of his futherlAutt among tit,. nations of the earth." Hu heartily commended this sentiment to their approbation. HINILT PFAU, of Darlington, supported the emit meet. Sir Ganuoe Gooomsm, 11.1'., was received with loud cheers on rising to propose the neat sentiment, which was u follows :—" That it is the effect of such institutions to bring about cordlility and friendly feeling among men, who, however widely they may otherwise differ, are still ly desirous of producing for themselves end their neighbours the greatest:amount of general good." Mr. 0301tUll Cavtrsn.tna supported the resolution in • speech of some length. Turning to mechanics' institutions, be said it behoved all women to uphold them, for they were institutions for the increase of domestic happiness. (Applause) Young ladies, he would especially beg to bear in mind, that young men in mechanics institutions would make the best sweethearts; that the best sweethearts were likely to nuke the best hushande ; and the best husbands would be found to make the but fathers. (Loud laughter and applause.) Lord John Russell then vented the chair, which was taken by Mr. Kitson, and a vote of thanks was accorded amidst enthusiastic acelamations to Lord John Russell, the audience simultaneously risingand cheering vociferously for some time. Thanks were also awarded the other guests amidst hearty applause. The proceedings terminated shortly after 11 o'clock. PRESENTATION OF THE ADDRESS OF THE IOWN COUNCIL OF LEEDS TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. The Town Council Wring determined to present an address of welcome to Lord John Russell, on his visit to this town, it was arranged that the presentation should take place in the saloon of the Music Hall at eleven o'clock yesterday (Thursday) morning. The address, which touched upon the principal political events with which Lord John Russell has been connected, wu presented to his lordship by the mayor. Lord JOHN Mosul_ acknowledged the complement in appropriate terms. His lordship, accompanied by Lord Beaumont and the Right Hon. H. T. Baines, 'left Leeds for London by the 12.40 p.m. Cheat Northern train. be really worthy of study—contained the most perfect works upon rubjects of geometry and science, and con tained the best model of literary writing. lam tar from thinking, theretore, that our ancestors committed an error, either when they directed the education of the young al most exclusively to those objects or when they desired that a great length of time should be given to that knowledge. But we hare to consider that in the present day we stand an a totally different position. Not that we ought to forget what advantages we have derived from the science and the literature of ancient nations. Upon the geometry delivered to us from the ancients has been founded all that increase of knowledge which ended in the discoveries of Newton. From the writings of the poets of antiquity the great poets of modern times have derived the best models they can imitate. From the jurisprudence of the Romans are derived the laws by which most of the nations of the continent have been ruled. But whale this tribute must be paid, it is a paramount object of attention, that we, us the course of more than three cents ties and a half that have elapsed from what is called the revival of literature, have added to the stores and we have received immense stores of our own—that by the side of that rich mine we have opened other mines, which, if not of as rich ore, are mere easily worked, and more abundant is their product. (Corers.) It was Loral Bacon who first pointed out that the mode of the pursuit of science fur modern nations ought to be different from that mode for the discovery of truth which had been pointed out by some of the greatest philosophers. (Hear.) It has been mach questioned whether Lord Banos was as exact guide by which other discerners have been able to pursue the track of knowledge and of invention. And upon that point I think it is certainly clear that it was not Lord Bacon that enabled a Galileo and a Carlene—that enabled a Pascal and • Tycho Biache, a Copernicus and a Kepler, to make the great discoveries which have immortalised their names. But what is true is, that be at • very early period laid down the rules by which all modern men of science have guided themselves. lie pointed out the road which they have followed, and laid down more clearly, more broadly, more ably, than any one else, the great method by which modern discovery should be pursued. You will find, 1 thine, Hyatt pursue this subject (if those who belong to the Mechanic's Institute should study the works of Lord Bacon, one called the " New Organ," the other on the augmenta tion of science), that the latest discoveries, the latest inven tions, have been made according to that mode which he pointed out. In • work that was published but a year ago —Mr. Feutairces account of the experiments he adopted under the direction of Mr. Stephenson, by which he was enabled to construct the tubular bridge at Conway and over the Menai Struts—you will find that all those experi ments are according to the roles which Lord Bacon bud laid down. (Applause.) Take another instance—a work on geo logy (an d• most interesting work it is), by Mr. Haigh Miller, called " The Old Red Sandstone." You will find that an interesting work, and as remarkable for the beauty of its style as for the importance of its matter. And you will dad there that Mr. Hugh Miller, being at let • mesa vaseitioi in a stone quarry, pursued in his melba of ineaselsetien the same rules which Lord Besse nesse rat Yeses __-aril_ ere laid down, and which hove thus bosoms tits iramiletise cad the law, as it were, of nadirs edema (Cheers.)

Last night a public meeting of tho inhabitants of Marylebone was held at the Court-house, for the purpose of baling into consideration the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and eliciting the expression of all opposed to the contemplated obnoxious measure of adeing 100 per cent. to the tax already levied upon house holders. The Court-house was crowded, and several hun dreds were unable to obtain admission. Mr. J. WILLIAMS, who occupied the chair, said that he had perhaps to make en apology for taking so prominent a part in respect to this agitation, but from the position which he occupied in the vestry he felt that be was bound to come forward as he had dome. (Hear.) When he first heard that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was about to double the house tax, he said he dared him to do so. (Hear, hear.) He asked himself this question—what will the people of Marylebone think of this ? (Hear, hear.) It wee not canary for them at that meeting to go through the whole budget. (Hear.) He would therefore confine himself to the house tax . ; and they had not alone to consider the amount of the tear, but they had to consider that the first operation of it would be to disfranchise a great number of voters. (Hear, bear.) It would, he was sure, disfranchise a great number of the voters in Macclesfield and Sheffield, and other towns. (Hear, hear.) It was well known that the shopkeepers were a most highly taxed class. (Hear, hear.) , They paid already 7d. in the pound house-tax, and to i double that tax was a piece of injustice which, he felt sure, they would not submit to. (Cheers.) The people of this ministry and the people of this metropolis were made of too , OM Sniff to permit themselves to be made slaves of in this • miaraor. (Hear ' hear.) The principles of liberty were ; too Study rooted amongst them to allow such au unjust ; masours to be oared, or to permit them to follow blindly ; in the wake of say government. (Hear, hear.) One of the , unjust features of the first measure was that Ireland was exempted fro,n the tax. (Hear, hear.) Now, there were , shopkeepers in Dublin and Cork, who made larger profits than many people in this country, who did not pay any pro perty or income tax whatever. (Hear, hear.) Were they going to permit themselves to be trampled upon in this way any longer ? (Hear,'hear.) Ile trusted they wou:d never , rest satisfied till the legacy and probate duty was extended to roil property:and the assessed tales extended to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) If the Chancellor of the Exchequer wished to act fairly and not to establish a war of classes he would , not have made the he did. He wished to give every relief ft** aims.

(Hear.) Ho t t t the House of Commons, ropreeenting as it did the wealth and intelligeoes of this groat country, should stand higher than any other amiably in the world. It , roes and fell in public estimation with the character of its leaden, and that being so, the Homo of Commons now stood in as humiliating a position as that occupied by the right hon. gentleman who now reposed on the treasury bench. (Hoar, hear.) He said this in no party spirit. He was attached to no party from any private object or consi deration, but be wished to see the llamas of Commons led by men who, whatever might bo their talents or powers of oratory, should have political character, and not by man who were the very looso ideal of political ter giversations. (" Hear" and tams.) Ho remembered the right hominids gentleman whet he was a democrat ; he remembered him when a tory ; he remembered him in 1816 a protectionist, from which period down to 1850 he had hunted down Sir It. Peel in every possible way ; and now be had turned round and adopted a resolution pre pared by Sir James Graham, calling on the house to confirm the principle of free trade. (Hear, hear.) To carry on the government upon principlea,to which you yourselves were opposed was nothing else than to degradepaitics. (Cheers.) Ile said this from no personal considerations ; but he confessed be had rather see the House of Commons led by men who stood higher in public estimation. (Hear, hear.) If health and strength were left him, he should oppose to the utmost of his power this une qu a l (elation, which tended to produce a disunion of interests and to set Own against country and country against town, and to pre vent that amalgamation and good feeling which should sub sist between all classes of the community. (Cheers.) Lord D. STU•RT wooded** resolution,. which was sup ported by Mr. DIII7ANOIR, jun., and carried unanimously, amidst loud cheers. Mr. Mov/Arr proposed the next resolution, to the effect that it was sound in principle to distinguish for fiscal purposes between fixed and precarious incomes, but that any defi ciency in the revenue should be made up by extending the property and income to to Ireland, and levying the pro bate and legacy duty on real property. He said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer wished them to look at his financial scheme as • whole. Now, that was exactly what they were doing. The right hon. gentleman did not propose the present budget in consequence of any deli ciency in the revenue; for, instead of having only 400.0001. surplus, as was espected, he calculated that he would have a disposable balance of 2,000.0001. sterling. (Hear, hear.) When he read this in the speech of the right hon. gentle man ho felt greatly relieved, because he felt sure that there would be no aircrew of taxation. But he went on, and the object of the right hon. gentleman became appartnt. Now he believed that this budget was not proposed with any honest or born ,*e intention—(hear, hear)—or to carry out its professed object. Ile did not desire to disparage Mr. Disraeli ; but he must say that this great conjuror, instead of putting himself into the bottle ' had endeavoured to put the people into it. (Hear, hurl Mr. NICHOLAY seconded the resolution. Mr. BaAcoN and Mr. M'llohoam. supported the reso lution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Cauca proposed and Mr. Mowa?S seconded a motion for a petition to the House of Commons, founded on the resolutions. The mail vote of thinks to the chairman terminated the Proceedings• MEETING IN ST. PANCRAS. Last night a public meeting of the householders of Bt. Pancras was held in the Vestry Hall, for the purpose of protesting against the attempt of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to double the house tax and extend the income tax to incomes of 501. So intense was the feeling upon the subject that, notwithstanding the immense size of the hall, capable of containing 2,000 patens, it was wholly inade ' quate to accommodate all who attended . Mr. William Billett, the junior churchwarden, was nominated to the chair, when a second nomination was made in favour of Mr. Manning. Mr. BILIATT, however, was elected by an overwhelming majority, amidst loud applause. Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir 8. Hall having arrived from the Maryleboxe meeting, which they had previously attended, on reaching the platform were received with great cheer ing. The Chairman having opened the meeting, Mr. HINIIT FAIIIIII proposed the first resolution : "That in the opinion of this meeting the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer fails to establish an equitable system of tit:sties ; that it will increase the fiscal exaction levied on the people, promote the means of parliamentary corruption, and continue the wasteful and extravagant ex penditure of the public money." The resolution having been seconded, was carried unani mously amidst loud applause. Mr. Titheas noes moved the second resolution, to the effect, " That this meeting an have an confidence in a ministry lost to every principle of political morality, who have obtained power by (else professions, and who retain office by the a ba ndonment of all their previous pledges and opinions. That this meeting is fervently of opinion that there can be no safety for the people or security unless the House of Commons per such measures as shall ' conduce to • great reduction of the national expenditure, and that this meeting therefore urges upon the representatives of all cities and boroughs in the kingdom, who ever may be mi nister, to insist upon • rigid economy in all departments of the state, the abolition of all useless places and pensions, the reduction of all salaries, to meet the altered circum stances of the time, and the abolition of all excise duties upon the necessaries of life. Lord DUDLEY SWAM and Sir B. HALL addressed the vast assembly in denunciation of the budget of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, more especially the attempt to double the house tax, and declared their determination to give it their most strenuous opposition. The resolution was, after some few other rations, carried unanimously. Mr. BVILILIDOE moved the next resolution: "That this meeting fearlessly insist upon the foregoing measures, which ought long since to have been carried in a reformed parliament, as the best means of restoring this nation to its wonted greatness, and of promoting the happiness and prosperity of the people, and which would form the strongest bond against any invader, and best secure the honour and safety of the crown." This resolution was also curled neon. eon., and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings at a late hour. MEETING IN LAMBETH. Last night, • public meeting of the inhabitants of Lambeth wee held at the National School-house, by ad. journment from the Vestry-hall, to take into consideration the proposition made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for an increase of the house duty. The meeting was called in consequesee of a numerously-signed requisition addressed to the churchwardens. Both the borough members were present. Mr. TATLOZ, the churchwarden, was called to the chair. Kpstition to the House of Commons was agreed to, and Messrs. Williams and Wilkinson, the two members for the borough, were requested to support its prayer. Mr. W. Williams, M.P., Mr. Wilkinson, M.P.,and other pietism= addressed the meeting, and the proceedings closed with a rote of thanks to the chairman. MEETLNG IN WALWORTH. Last night a large and influential meeting was held, at the Hour-glass Tavern, Welworth, to consider the financial propositions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kr. C. WOOD in the char. A petition to parliament, in aceordasee with the resolu ta:a, was adopted. MEETING AT DEVONPORT. The Miamilse of the Esehatutes Writ has sacked Mem holiors of boatality u Thomport. 0.

Ix RE HANEY ALEN LESSEN._ This i11101•1131i.a11010111.111kIi;;14ie;;;;I agent, wee opposed by Mr. Dowse for Mr. Bulgeon, a tailor, and sup posed by Mr Sargood. It appeared that the insolvent had been supported by his mother. He had last year an office in the City as an agent, and had made some money by the sale of an appointment. Mr. Dowse asked him what appointment he had sold. Mr. Ewirgood objected to the question, as the insolvent might expose himself to penalties. Mr. Commissioner Phillips could not see that the gees tioncould benefit the creditors. The question was not pressed, and on being asked what property ho had to sell as an agent, enumerated, among other things, " livings" he had to dispose of. The cue was eventually adjourned for further informa tion. IN RE WILLIAM LAMBERT ARTILY. This insolvent, a shopkeeper at Woolwich, was opposed by Mr. Dowse fur a Mr. Baynham, on the ground that he had induced him, by representations, to supply him with goods. The insolvent positively contradicted Mr. Bayn ham, and called his son as a witness. His Honour gave full credence to the creditor, and did not believe the soo, contradicted es he had been by the insolvent, his father. No day . was named fur the Anal order, and the insolvent left without protection. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE SOUTH LANCASHIRE.-LIVERPOOL, DEC. 9. Miami Ma. AMICK Csourrox. BERIOVII CABS OP EMBIZZLLNIENT. John Itigq, 30, pleaded guilty to the charge of em. benling sums of money to the amount of 166/. The pri soner had been in business on his own account at one time, but was unsuccessful. Afterwards he accepted a situation as clerk, some four years ago, from Mr. Samuel heaps, wholesale grocer, at l'ilkington, at a salary of 701. per annum, which was raised subsequi ntly to 801. His master's customer' were allowed a large disooubt for cash payments, and the prisoner, through whore bands the money passed, appropriated many of these cash payments to his own uses (to pay off liabilities emended when in business for hint 'elf, it was stated by his counsel), entering them as credit payments, when the time arrived, he adding the amount of discount necessary. This system the prisoner had pursued over the four years he was in Mr. Ileape's employment, until he became unable to avoid detection, when he made a confession to his muter of having used the moneys charged against him. These amounts, it would seem, were far from showing the extent of his embeulements, for the prosecuting counsel stated, that since his confession, it had been disco. vered that the defalcations of tho prisoner amounted to no less than 1,6001. The learned Judge strongly animadverted on the conduct of the prisoner, and sentenced him to seven years' tran sportation. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION HOUSE. Wm. William/ow was charged before the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances : William Parker, an auctioneer, carrying on business at 3, Cowper'acourt, Cornhill, said the prisoner applied to me in March to sell a reversion in the 3 per cent. consols of two Inv dred and seventy- fi ve pound.. After making a calculation, I said I would give him 901. for it to purchase, it for myself. He said that that would not do—the money was too little. He stated to me that he applied on behalf of Miss Hopkins, who was entitled to it under the will of her father, a part or extract from which he produced, and, that her father was a market gardener over the water. The prisoner came to him again on the 4th of May, and I said I had a client living close by who would give 951. for the reversion. He said he would accept that sum, and he signed the paper produced, which is as follows : "Auctioneers, s yore and valuers , land, house, and brewers agents, Threadnieille•street, City, and a, Bean voir-place, Beauvoirroad, Kingsland, 1851. " I hereby agree to take epos the behalf of Mies Elenor Cook Hopkins, for her pert of the reversion, the sum of 961. " Witness my hand this 4th day of May, 1852. " W. NVILLIAMSON. " Witness, W. Parker, 3, Mansfield-place, Kentish-town." He was a stranger to me. About a week afterwards the prisoner applied to me for 55., as he said it would be nixes sary to get some document from Doctors . -commons in refer ence to the reversion, but I declined giving it to him. Croas-examined by the prisoner —This occurred at the Hall of Commerce. A Mr. Hammon introduced you to me. When you left the abstract of the will ycu said you wanted 1001. upon it. William H. Moreland said—l am a general agent, carry ing on business at No. 33, Threadneedle street. Mr. Parker applied to me to purchase a reversion belong ing to a Miss Elenor Cook Hopkins. I agreed to pur chase it for 1001., and I inquired about this Miss Hop kins, but could find no such person. There was a Mrs. Hopkins, an old lad but no Miss Elenor Cook Hopkins, and on Satu rday last the prisoner was brought to me by Mr. Parker, who stated that be was Mr. Williamson, who bad been employed in the matter of selling the reversion of Miss Elenor Cook Hopkins. I said, "Are you William son? " and he said " I am." I said " How came you to set in this way, representiag this person as being Miss Elenor Cook Hopkins, wheal have found that she is a married woman ?" He replied " She is a Miss, and is not married. I have made no misrepresentation at all. Take me where you like and I will prove she is Miss Elsner Cook Hopkins." Mr. Parker then said, " I shall give you into custody on this charge." I went with Mr. Parker to the station-house, and the prisoner then said he would ad mit she was a married woman, but as "she was not living with her husband he considered he was right to try and sill it for her. Miss Hopkins's name is now Mrs. Prior. Cross-examined—l did not think the old lady's life was • • m So peculiarly good one. I went to Jam street, mers-town. Mr. Parker gave me the address of Miss Hopkins, but I found it was the address of the old lady at Kentish-town. Elenor Cook Prior said—l am a widow, residing at No. 1, James-street, Somers-town. My husb and's name was Joseph Barnabas Prior. He died on the 26th of June last. My maiden name was Elenor Cook Hopkins. My mo ther's father, Thomas Cook, left me some money in the funds, payable umn the death of my mother. I the prisoner to sell it. I wanted to sell it. I know the prisoner as • sort of general agent. I did not authorise the paper produced to be made out. The prisoner never asked me if I would take 961. for my rever sion. Crarexamined by the prisoner —I never authorised you I. wt Ibr me in this business. I never gave you any m• Mulls= to sell it or to borrow money upon it. I hemmed money myself upon it. I did not employ you to get it. The prisoner —I'll not say anything, bat I wish to call Ur. Hammon. Richard Hammon, of 7, Albert-road, Peckham, said—l am a sharedealer. About March, in the present year, the prisoner came to me and asked if I knew anybody who would buy a reversion. I mid yes ; and, knowing Mr. Parker, of the Hall of Commerce, I introduced it to him. He said he wanted to sell it fur a hundred pounds. I mid who is the money for ? He said for Miss Hopkins, of Kentish-town. I afterwards saw him with Mr. Parker, who offered him 954. upon it. He refused it, and he told me Parker had been humbugging him, and kept his pa pers. The prisoner left two notes with me for Parker, who has been in the habit of lending money on security. I never saw Min Hopkins on the subject. Committed for DAILY WEATHER TABLE. Faume, Decaneia 10, 1862. The data of the Weather at each of the following places at Nino o'clock yesterday morning.

AN OLD MAN OF SEVENTY-PIPE, nays the Pattie, had withdrawn to Mouldlle (Seine-et-Oise), where he was always happy to see his friends around him. On Sunday last he had invited some persons to dine with him, but when they arrived they found no person to receive them. The old man had sent away under one pretext or another his cook and man servant. At last the guests went into the dining room, and there to their horror found the old man dud, hanging from the rope from which the lamp usually was suspended. On the table was a note declaring that he bad always lived happily, but that now, apprehending some misfortune, he had thought it beet to take his final depar tare whilst still free from any reverse of fortune. EXTENSIVE FIRE IN TUE KENT ROAD.—Yeater• day morning, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, a destructive fire took place on the premises of Mr. Turner, a greengrocer, which was likely to have been attended with the most fatal results, as well akar nsiderable lose of property. On the first alarm, the family with difficulty escaped, and long before information eoul.l be forwarded to the fire brigade of Union-street and other places, the lower partof the house and its contents were este burning masa. In a short time however, the engines of the London Establishment sad West of England arrived, but none of Mr. Turner's =was saved. The adjoining home swiped injury. the property destroyed is inanzod, and nothing is known as to the origin of the accident. M MARKETS. COTTON.—Ltrattrooi, 11W. D.—The sales to-day are estimated at 3,000 bales, of which 1,200 were on specula tion.

The market closed heavily, and prices of American are nearly Id. per lb. lower than on Friday. Surat' and other sorts id. per lb. lower. Int• ports since Thursday, 35,000 bales. MANCHISTEU, Dec. 9.—We have had a rather heavy business yesterday and to-day for the East, this being the last week of the export season to Bombay, and the freights of several vessels having to be completed without loss of time. Boma very considerable purchases of cloth have been made for China ; some speak of them to the extent of 200,000 pieces. Thu tendency of prices, however, is still downward. The quantity of goods on hand is not con siderable, and some fair contracts have been made where spinners and manufacturers have been willing to take low prices. 111 some cases these contracts will beep the pro ducers going to the end of January. The reduction of Id. per lb. on water twist partially obtained on Tuesday has been fully established. WOOL.—BRADPORD, Dec. 9.—There is a good supply of Wool of all kinds in the market, but held fur prices bearing no proportion to the value of the article into which it has to be made. This causes great care, and limits the queatity bought by the consumers. Nuils and broke com mand better prices.—Bradjurd Observer. MANUFACTURES.— BRADFORD, Dec. 9.—Yarns The spinners hold for higher prices. Pieces . There is a fair amount of business doing, but at prices that will only entail a certain lees ; and it is only on old 'nchaste that prime cost can be realised.—BrasfArd Observer. HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Nurrimatau, Dec. 9.—Neither the lace nor hosiery trade present ■ny features differing from the reports we have giveu fur some weeks past. There arc orders to some extent to h, completed, which causes those houses who have them to be still busy, whilst those houses that have finished theirs appear flat. This latter remark, however, applies chiefly to the lace trade. The price of yarn is unaltered.—Notts Jots mai.

The supply was smaller than we have had for some time, and sales were readily effected at from 3.. to 4s. on our last week's prices, all being quickly sold. Barley was in good supply, sod the trade about as last week; the very brat qualities were fully as dear, while inferior sorts were neglected ; on the whole, perhaps, the demand was improved.

In other grain prices are stationary, and little doing. W AAAAA OHD, Dec. g.—Continued small supplies of home grown and foreign grain, together with the improved an. counts from the English markets, have given a further up ward movement to tho trade here, and we note all articles dearer than on Saturday last. EDINSUROII, Dec. B.—We bad a large supply of grain in the market to-day. Sales were so busk as at this market, and a considerable rise on all kinds of grain. The demand was great. Wheat. 425. to 675.

This important fair was exceedingly well attended by dealers and agrlculturiata, and, with the exception of Sheep, there was a full average supply of every descrip tion of stack in but very middling condition. Such as were there, found buyers without difficulty, prices for all breeds and ages ruling in favour of sellers, particularly the Devon, short horned, and Hereford Beasts, which have gone up full 21. per head einoe the great September fair at Barnet. The Sheep trade was brisk at late prices ; Milch Cows and in-cabers in slow demand, at a reduction of from 11. to 21. per head. Horses atilt sorts, young and of improving character, in good de mand at high prices ; and at the close of the day very little stock remained unsold. SALFORD, Dec.

CllEESE.—Sattanenv, Dec. 9.—The first anniversary of our monthly Cheese market was held to-day, when the supply of Cheese was small comnared with the quantity pitched on many preceding markets, but the quality, how ever, was very good. The attendance of buyers was also limited, and but little animation appeared to be exhibited, though we hear that a fair quantity of the limited supply changed hands, particularly the best descriptions. As a natural consequence which follows a dull sale, the average rate of prices was a little lower than last market. The fol lowing were the prices :—Somereets, 525. to 68s. ; half skiers, 344. to 405.; half-cowards, 265. to 345. ; skims, 20s. to 28s. per cwt.

A SELF-ELECTED BISUOP.—On Wednesday, the lit instant, the election of a new Bishop of St. Andrews, Dunkeld, and Dunblane, in the room of the late Bishop Terry, took place at St. James's church, Cupar Fife. A previous election had taken place, whereat an equal number of votes were given by the clergy present in favour of the preserit Bishop of Moray and the Rev. Charles Wordsworth, warden of Trinity College, Perthshire. Consequently, a new election was obliged to be held; when the Rev. Dr. Bother, of Edinburgh, was proposed as a candidate, in op position to Mr. Wordsworrh. The latter gentleman (who is a brother of the Rev. Canon Wordsworth, of Westminster, and a nephew of the late Poet Laureate,) was elected by his own casting vote. The supporters of Dr. Sether, con sequently, have drawn up a protest against his election, and the matter will be referred to the Scotch Episcopal College, awaiting their final decision.
