During the het twenty-live years Birmingham has doubled Its population, extended its carted manufactures, and largely ln messed In wealth, commerce, and importance.

Allston, Dudley, Wilictihall. ia Oldbury, Tipton, and West Bromwich, has largely developed it. mineral resources, and become an arra of mining and maaufae taring enterprise of the most valuable character. Notwithstanding this ncknowledged prosperity, It Is remark able that, during the period referred to, no additional bank has been established in Biriningtunt and South Stalfonishire, with the exception of one founded In the former plans during the pre sent year, under the limited Liability Act. . . . _ .. . corniMirative of the neccseity which exists fnr extended tanking accommodation in Birmingham and South Staffordshire, it is a sign ithant fact that the aha ca of the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank ,Limited already command a premium of more than one hundred per cent. This necessity is elan milistantinted by the following moment. Which appears iu the Birmingham Daily Post" on Wednesday, the 3rd instant:—" At a special meeting of the shareholders of the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank ;Limited), held ou Tuesday, the tnil December, it ass recimunended by the Directors, and resolved, that the capital of the Company should lie incr ease d from £ 300,030 to £ 1,00u,000, by the creation of 6,000 additional shares of £lOO each, and that twarlftlis of these should le issued to the shareholders at £8 premium and that the containing three- fi fths should be held tn reserve by the Directors, to be issued at their discretion."

LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—PLTMOUTFI, SUNDAY NIONT. Dario' a heavy gale from the south•west yesterday, it was reported to Captain Ayler, KN., the Queen's harbour master, that a foreign vessel was in distress not far from the Rama Head. He at mice signalled for a government steam-tug, and ordered the lifeboat of the National Life boat Institution to be launched, which wee directly done. The steamer then took the lifeboat in tow, and with Captain Ayler went to the ship, which was at anchor a mile and s hall to the north-west of the Rams Head, and which proved to be the Dutch g.dliot Aromans, bound from Safe to Falmouth. She had overshot her port, and being ) =bayed bad let go her anchor, but was fast driving towards the shore. The lifeboat was found to be of essential service on the occasion, in effecting through the serf • communication with the vessel. The Mellott is most highly spoken of by the crew. The vessel, after some difficulty, was taken in tow by the steam tng, and safely brought in here about 8 p.m., aocompanied by the lifeboat. This is the first service performed by this fine lifeboat, which was Motioned here by the National Life boat Institution in February last, through the liberality of Miss Burdett Coutts. The crew of the lifeboat, after this severe trial, have the greatest confidence in her, both in respect to her sea-going and rowing qualities. 7411ing price. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1862.

There was lately held in Paris an extra parlia mentary meeting, consisting of about 50 "devoted and independent" members of the Corps Legislatif, who, urged by motives of which I am ignorant, but which no doubt are very various, think it desirable to give the Emperor a friendly warning that public affairs are not going on as they ought to do. Some valiant resolutions were passed, more especially with reference to the Mexican expedition, which was universally condemned. A calculation was read, showing that there is already a deficiency in the budget of 180 millions, and it was represented as most essential for the Emperor's interest that some thing should be done on the eve of a general e lection to ensure the fulfilment of M. Fould's financial promises. The historical jealousy of Frenchmen of the intervention of a quenouille (distaff) in the conduct of government was alluded to, and some very free observations were made about the influence of "crinoline" in the present day. But when the debate was over, and the question was Low the Emperor should be made aware of the solicitude of this half-hundred of his loving subjects who had gratuitously as sembled together to tender Lim advice, there was an awful pause. Nobody dared to propose an audience with his Majesty for such au irregular purpose. Whether at the time, or (as I rather think) on a subsequent day, it was at length agreed that a deputation of seven members should wait upon the Duke de Morny as the President of the Chamber, and request him to make the Emperor acquainted with the sentiments of the meeting. The deputation was received by the duke with greater favour than they had hoped for. He told them that he Lad already intended to offer some respectful observations to the Emperor in the sense of their resolutions, and that he should feel himself greatly strengthened by what they bad told him. In answer to their complaints on the delicate sub ject of "crinoline" be said, laughingly, c'est le con►- tnnuemeut la Regency. This mot has, I under stand, had a great success. The Monde says that a pious priest having ap plied to the Pope to know whether all those who have signed addresses calling for his renunciation of the temporal power Lave incurred the pains and penalties of excommunication, his Hulloes/4, after serious consideration, has resolved the question in the affirmative. It follows, therefore, that half the Italian clergy and the great majority of the Italian people are excommunicate. INDIA. We have received advice. from India by the overland mail, dated Bombay, Nov. 12 ; Calcutta, Nov. 3, and, by telegraph, Nov. 7. The health of the country generally is good ; but cholera has been raging dreadfully in one or two localities, amongst others at Poona. The disease has broken out in her Majesty's 93rd Regiment, Sutherland Highlanders. Lieutenant-Colonel Mac donald, Major Middleton, Ensign Drysdale, and Assistant-Surgeon Hope have died of it. The Englishman of Nov. 3 hai the following ge neral observations on the import market : With regard to the market for piece goods we have to chrociele an almost utter stagnation. Demand Seel= to have died away, mid it is a fortunate occurrence that the imports on account of the cotton famine have decreased in proportion. Had goods come forward at the same rate as dunes last year, the Mocks in the hands o: the merchants would have been fearfully excessive, and Calcutta as • market for piece goods for the time abolished. The Man chester people do not seem to anders4od, or if they do, cannot appreciate the fact that the native dealers are in variably better acquainted with the state of the market than European importers ; for the former having the en tirety of the up-country trade in their bands know to a nicety the amount of demand likely to arise from that source, which European merchants do not; and they are equally with the latter cognisant of the stocks in hand in Calcutta and those on the way out. If the Man chester cotton lords could in the midst of the all-absorbang distress and famine which sow pervade the manufacturing districts, for • short time turn their attention to tLe style of busies** done by the native merchants and bazaar dealers during the present crisis, they would fully understand the accuracy with which they have calculated their operations. But very few speculative purchases have been made by them, and they seem to have had ever present with them the cant phrase of the " nimble ninepence." It was the general impression among those best able to form • com petent opinion that if the crops turned out well there would be an active trade for up country. It was supposed that the stocks in the provinces were lower than for years past, and that a successful year amongst the agricultural population would have tho effect of stimulating a good and wholesome trade. We need but look to the daily sales to see how utterly contrary to their expectation thiuge have fallen out. BIJOUTZR.UC COURANT& NOBBLES SPECIAUX I as FABILIQUZ.—WATRLB.

The following correspondence addressed to the commis dame in Sind, will be read with greet interest as showing the strides which the cotton trade of this province has made within the put year : " Kurrachee Custom-borne, Oct. 25. " Sir,—l have the honour to forward annexed a very inte resting memorandum furnished to me by the railway traffic manager, of the imports of were by rail from Soiree, the more interesting from the fact that ecaraely a bale of cotton was exported from Kurrachee two years ago. Last year the export' amounted to 12,992 bales ; in Dine ands hell months of the current year there have arrived by mil 36,990 bar, being more than three trice the quantity that arrived during last year. Before the close of the year 1862, the quantity imported by rail will probably exceed HOG take. The total exports of cotton from Bombay in 1861.62 emanated to bales 1,046,23?. Taking the exports front Kumar at the Aber estimate for the year, they are r Itol9 of the total exports from Bombay in 186162. Oar paring these with the export* of the year proviso, there le a falling off of 31 per mot. in 1861.62, while the experts from Kurmchee, assuredeg that the arrivals in the next 2; months will not fall abort of the pm two, which is highly probable, will show an jeerer. of 316 per east.—l have, to., P.

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. The Smithfield Club Cattle Show, which was opened to-day to the general public, was en Satur day opened for private view by the members of the club and the public press after the judges had made their awards. More than ordinary interest was attached to the present exhibition in consequence of the removal of the site from Baker-street, where the show has been held since 1839, to the new Agri cultural-hall, near Islington-green. The fact an nounced in the morning papers of Saturday, that the show would be visited in the afternoon by Lit Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and other mem bers of the royal family, also contributed to increase the interest of the opening on the present occasion, and, notwithstanding a very wet afternoon, at -1 tracted a large number of spectators to the en trance of the hall, in the expectation of seeing the heir to the throne, who is just now the object of so much interest to all clauses in the country. It was intimated on Thursday to the authorities of the club that the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary would visit the show about two o'clock, and on the following day a similar com munication wac received on the part of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The necessary pre parations for their reception were accordingly made, and when about the hour appointed the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess, and the Princess Mary arrived, they were received at the western entrance of the hall by Lord Faversham, the president of the club, Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs, the hon secre tary, and Mr. Samuel Sidney, the secretary of the Agricultural-hall Company, and conducted through the show, with which and the appearance of the hall generally they expressed themselves much pleased. Shortly after the departure of these royal visitors a hearty cheer from the outside announced the arrival of the Prince of Wales and his party,whodrove to the grand entrance of the hall, in the Liverpool road, where they were received as were the previous royal visitors bad been by Lord Feversham, Mr. Gibbs, and Mr. Sidney. The Prince of Wales was accom panied by the Prince of Hesse, the Princes Arthur and Leopold, and attended by General Hood, Major- General Knollys, and one or two other members of the royal suite. The royal party were conducted over the ball, and whatever was deemed worthy of special notice was pointed out and explained. When lighted by giss the hall has a very fine appear ance, but though there are between four or five thousand jets it will require some further addition in the shape of light to make it as luminous as it ought to be for the requirements of a cattle show. The architect is Mr. F. Peck, of Maidstone and London, and the cost of the building and furnishing is about 40,0001. As regards the show of cattle this year, it differs but little from those that have preceded it, ex cept that it is larger, and that the animals can be more conveniently and advantageously seen. This latter is a great gain, and will be fully appreciated , by the visiting public, who must remember how difficult it used to be to got a complete view of the animals, so as to be able to appreciate their " points." But in respect of the quality of the stock it is not possible that in one year any appre ciable difference could be seen. Indeed, the art of breeding cattle has been brought to that perfection that it is scarcely possible to effect further improve ment. By this it is not meant to say that what have hitherto been considered inferior breeds, may not be educated so as to compete with the more aristocratic classes in oxen, sheep, or swine. The present exhibition, indeed, affords an example of this, for the honours of the show are borne off by a cross-bred ox of Mr. Overman's. This animal is a cross between a Devon and a short horn, and has distanced, owing of course to careful feeding, the more noble blood which was supposed to flow in the veins of the short horns, the Herefords, and the Devon'. At the Birmingham show a similar result has taken place, a cross-bred ox, viz., one between s short horn and a polled Aberdeen, having taken the first prize. But while it is thus satis factory to know that a cross-breed may take first place in a competitive examination with the purer breeds, there is a point of perfection in the individual animal beyond which it is not pos sible to force it. Symmetry, weight, and fulness are the qualities to be developed, and, these attained, it seems a waste to load the animal with masses of superfluous fat. There were probably no cattle shows in ancient Rome, although they had their Palilia and other agricultural festivals : but the ancient poet of country life and rural operations seems to have bit off what is desirable in a good steer when be says, "Longo 'Julius lateri modus : omnia pupa." Such is the prevailing type of the oxen in the present exhibition. Mr. Overman's ox, though only 3 years and 4 months old, measures 8 feet 10 inches in the girth. This fine animal is in Class 28, No. lbli in the catalogue, and as its competitor, the prize ox at the Birmingham Show, is 150 in the same class, the public will have an opportunity of comparing fur themselves these splendid specimens of the cattle-breeding art, and considering how difficult it must have been for the judges to pronounce a verdict on the one side or the other. Mr. Stewart, of Newmarket, Aberdeen, is the exhibitor of No. 150 ; and although his specimen is of greater amplitude by eight inches than its rival from Norfolk, it is 14 months older. This consideration no doubt influ enced the judges in their decision, and perhaps there was also some latent feeling that the honours of a " double first " ought not to be extended too far. There are only 'four specimens of short- [TWOPENCE horned steers not exceeding three years old, and in this clam the silver medal and prize of 301. has been awarded to No. 62, exhibited by the Duke of Beaufort. 01 the short-horned steers or oxen above three years old, the silver medal and prize of 301. has been adjudged to No. 69, exhibited by Earl Howe. In clan 11, containing the abort horned heifers not exceeding four years old, the silver cup with prize of 25/. and silver medal was obtained by No. 89, exhibited by Mr. Robt. Tennant, of Leeds ; and in the short-horned cows above 4 years old, the chief prize and silver medal were awarded to Mr. Richd. Eastwood, of Burnley, Lancashire. There are 8 exhibitors in class 1 of Devon steers, and 12 exhibitors in class 2of the same breed, all of them remarkably fine animals. The sliver medals and prizes of 301. in both were won by Mr. Heath, of Ludham-hall, Norwich. Mr. Farthing, of Somerset, bears away the silver medal and prize of 26/. in the Devon heifer class not exceeding 4 years old, and Mr. Heath is again the auooeeaful competitor in the Devon cows above 4 years old with No. 25. There are 17 specimens of Reeeiveds, divided into two classes—those not exceeding 3 years old, and those above 3 years. In the first the hollows were borne away by Major-Oeneral Hood, of Cumberland-lodge, Windsor, the animal in this case, No. 35, being bred by the kW Prince Consort at Flemish Faros, Windser-park. Mr. Aldworth, of Abingdon, was the successful competitor in the second class. As a class the Hereford *sea this yeas are good. There are but few specineus of Hereford heifers or cows, and in these classes respectively the prizes have been won by Mr. Urwick, of Ludlow, and Mr. Turner, of Leominster. A comparison of the first prize Devon and Hereford shoes that the ox of the former class was 3 years 8 months old, with a girth of 7 feet 9 inches ; while the Hereford is 4 years 2 months old, and hie capacityis 8 feet 6 inches. The one has the advantage of 9 inches. of girth, the other is the younger by six months. There is a very fine cow of the Suiliolk breed; shown by Mr. Edward Cane, of Berwick-court, Lewes. She is 110 inches in girth, and deserves all the honours which the judges have awarded to her meter. Of the polled Soots there is one remarkably Ene and large specimen. It is exhibited by Mr. M'Combis, of Aberdeen, and has taken the first prize in its class. The 'Welsh and Irish breeds do not make any remarkable display. In the extra classes there are two of those pretty, small, but exceedingly useful and prolific Bretonne cows, which Mr. Baker has for seve ral years imported into this country. The quantity of milk which they give is very remarkable, and owing to their small size they may be kept by persons. who have hut a very limited amount of pasture or shed accommodation. Mr. Rigden, of Hove, Sussex, carries off the highest honours for the wether South Down elieep is both classes ; Lord Walsingham and the Duke of Richmond coming in for the next prizes. The pen of Mr. Rigden are excellent. Mr. G. S. Fol jambe, of Osbeeton-hall, Worksop, bears the palm for his pen of Lek:esters, in the first elms ; Mr. Wellesley, of Bridlington, ooming in for a good second ; while Colonel Lowther takes the first prize in the second class of Leicestere. In the Cotswold breed Mr. Mills, of Burford, Oxford, takes first prise, and in the Lincolns—of which there are only two pens—Mr. Jordan of Drifiteld, is the suc cessful exhibitor. Mr. Canning, of Devisee ; Mr. Holland, M.P., Mr. Coxon, of Lichfield ; Mr. King, of Hunginforcl, Berke ; Mr. Howard, of Bedford ; Mr. Quartly, of South Molton ; Mr. Peel, of Clitheroe, are the successful competi tors in the Wiltshire, Shropshire, Oxfordshire, and other breeds. To Mr. Z. W. Stare, of Banbury, Oxford, has been awarded the silver cup value 201., prize of 201., and silver medal, foe the best pen not competing with the other breeds. The cross is Sussex and Cotswold, and the animals are fine and large- In the porcine department the laurels of the year have been adjudged to Mr. Baker, of Christchurch, Hants. The gold medal, 151. prize, and silver medal have been awarded him for No. 402, a pen of three, 15 months three weeks and six days old, Hampshire breed. These notable specimens atesa terga—were fed on barley, oat, bean, and pea meal with mangel, seasoned with Thorley's food. ' Mr. belarue, of the Hazels, Beds ; Mr. Barker, of Berke ; Mr. Coots, of Dorset ; Major-General Hood ; Mr. Cattle, of Cambridge, are successful ex hibitors in various classes of the ewinal department. I The space allotted to the swine is very ample and the animals are much more comfortable and at 'their ease than when the exhibition was in Baker-street. The show is on the whole fully will to any of its predecessors, and the public will be able to see it with greater convenience and freedom. To-day is a ss. day, but on to-morrow and the four succeeding days the charge will be Is. On Wednesday the Smithfield Club will dine at the Freemasous Tavern, when the prizes will be dis tributed. Lord Feversham will preside, and has forwarded four hauuches of venison for the dinner.

The box at the Liverpool Post•office will be open for the receiptof letters, kn., until 11 o'clock a.m., and via Cork till 0.30 p.m. AFRICAN PRODUCTIONS.—The interesting objects costaieed in the Isberian Court of the Exhibition have been tierief erred to the offices of the West Africa Compaq, at 41, Greshamlouse, with the sanction of the Liberian government. These productions have attracted oonsiderable public notice, espey the samples of cotton, sugar, palm oil, and the very beautiful specimeus of mahogany and other bard timber. We understand that it is the inteutioe of the i West Africa Company to use these as the nucleus of an African Museum, awl as en illustration of the articles the company will import. It is satisfactory to know that one of the ageots of the company has expressed Lis belief that, be will be able to ship 500,000 bales of cotton from the Niger next year, and that a gentleman has offered to invest 50,0004 in cotton culture in Liberia, upon an undertaking from the company that be shall be guaranteed by the company for hie cleaned cotton (middling Odessa quality) threepence per pound at the port of shipment.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MAN SLAUGHTER. —At the Liverpool Assizes on Saturday, Patrick Cain was charged with causing the death of Mr. Henry Rawcliffe, of the Swan-inn, Kirkham, on the night of the 25th of September. On the evening of the day in question it op. peered that the prisoner iosilsonte of his friends were forcibly ejected from the house of Rawcliffe for creating a disturb ance; ultimately, one of the party, named Gandy, was taken into custody by the police. This fact so greatly enraged the prisoner, that, in spite of the remonstrance of his Mewls, be armed himself with a poker, uttering violent threate against the police and Rawcliffe. At this time Raweliffe, being at tracted by a noise created by the prisoner, unfortunately opened one of his windows and looked,out. The prisoner at this juncture threw the poker at him, and so surely and so swiftly was it thrown, that it entered one of the eyes of Rawcliffe,and penetrated the skull. Strange to say. is spite of this fearful blow, Rawcliffe lived two hours—Cain was found guilty, but the jeage deferred pamiag esateace.
