In the manufacturing districts during the past week business in most departments has been par tially suspended, owing to the Easter holidays. At Manchester, however, prices of both yarns and cloths have slightly advanced, the demand for India, China, and the Mediterranean having been more active. The woollen trade at Leeds has con tinued dull but steady, while at Halifax, Rochdale, and Huddersfield the dealings have been principally in light fabrics, for home demands. The hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham have remained without material variation. In the hard ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton there have been signs of increased ani mation in most departments, in consequence of the improvement of the weather. _ There is very little alteration to notice in the general condition of the Money Market, but 2k instead of 2 per cent. is now the charge for first class bills, a firmer tone having been created by the impending settlement at the Stock Exchange and other temporary influences. With regard to the future prospects of the market, it is generally thought that continued easiness and abundance will prevail some time longer, and the mercantile com munity, therefore, merely supply their immediate requirements. Some effect may nevertheless be produced by the transmission of the proceeds of the foreign loans lately negotiated, while the Russian operation, if successful, may also be expected to affect the ultimate tendency of monetary affairs. The specie movement continues favourable, owing to the large receipts from Australia, America, and other sources of supply, and the limited demand for exportation. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, business was moderately active, and prices were steady. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales. At the Bank of England, on Saturday, there were no bullion transactions of importance. The Niagara from New York has browght Xll,OOO, and the Shannon, from the West Indies, £370,800 in specie. _ _ The traffic receipts of the Cheat Wvoteru Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 11th inst. amounted to £10,613 against £11,167 last year. A third call of £2 per share has been made by the directors of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, payable on or before the 23d proximo. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLocK. Owing to a continuance of sales the English Stock Market this morning presented further indi cations of weakness, Consols being 931 for money, and 931 4 for the account. A few purchases, how ever have since been effected, and the latest quota tions are 93f, I for both. The market is extremely quiet, and owing to the paucity of business it is easily influenced by operations in a comparatively small amount of stock. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 911 92 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 17s. to 21s. prem.; Bank Stock is 238 and India 5 per Cents. are 108 k i t, being without alteration. Foreign Securities have been dull, and in some instances at lower quotations. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 80k ; ditto 1858, 691 701 ; and the Scrip was 11 2k pion., being firmer; Russian 5 per Cents. however, have declined to 96 ; ditto 3 per Cent. to 601 4 ; and Dutch 21 per Cents. to 649 ; Brazilian remain at 1001 ; Spanish Deferred have improved to 44 ; and Italian 5 per Cents. to 68k Z. The Egyptian Loan is 11, prem. In the Railway Share Market the chief business transacted is connected with the half-monthly set tlement, and prices showed, in some instances, rather more firmness. Caledonian and Eastern Counties have improved ss. ; Lancashire and York shire, Brighton, and South Eastern, 10s.; :and North Western, ]ss.; North Pastern (Berwick), however, have declined ss. The Foreign lines are at a further improvement. Great Luxembourg have advanced to /6k ; Sambre and Meuse, to 131 131-; Dutch Rhenish, to 171 i; and Antwerp and Rotterdam, to 71 I. The Colonial undertakings remain at about former rates. Great Western of Canada realise 121 ; East Indian 103-Z- 104 ; and Eastern Bengals Joint -Stock Bank Shares are a shade firmer. Lon don and Westminster realise 80 ; Ottoman, Bank 262 27 ; Bank of Egypt, 221 ; and Union of Lon don, 32 to 321. The Alliance Bank shares are 4-7 -g- prem.; Im perial, a 2 1 prem.; Northern Counties, 21.3, 1 prem.; and British Columbian, 1 prem. In the Miscellaneous Share Market, Crystal Palace Stock is firm at 35t 36, 1 ,1 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam at 69; and English and Australian Copper, 2i 1. THE RUSSIAN LOAN. THREE O'CLOCK. The prospectus of the New Russian Loan has just appeared. The amount is £15,000,000, of which £5,000,000 has already been taken up. It is to be in a 5 per Cent. Stock, at the price of 94.

Lord Canning, the ex-Governor-General of India, arrived at Dover on Saturday afternoon most unex pectedly. No special packet had been ordered for his lordship's passage by the Government, but from the large number of distinguished passengers ex pected from the continent, Mr. Churchward had given instructions at Calais for a steamer to be in readiness, under the superintendence of Captain Smithett ; consequently, on the arrival of Lord Canning his lordship at once embarked in the mail steam-packet Empress, and with Lord and Lady Sydney, Lord Harris (who had been waiting at Marseilles to receive Lord Canning), Sir C. and Lady Mary, and Miss Wood, Mr. Sergeant Alexan der, &c., made a rapid run to Dover. On arriving at the Admiralty Pier Mr. Churchward proceeded on board the packet and welcomed Lord Canning once more to England, and his lordship and dis tinguished party proceeded to the Lord Warden Hotel, to have some refreshment prior to their de parture for London. At the hotel Mr. Birmingham, the Mayor of Dover, was introduced to Lord Can ning by Capt. Smithett, when the chief magistrate informed his lordship that a complimentary address had been prepared by the corporation to be pre sented to his lordship on his reaching the shores of England ; but his unexpected arrival that afternoon and the short interval of time his lordship would remain at Dover, obliged him to represent the cor poration on the occasion. The mayor then expressed the unanimous congratulations of the town and port of Dover on his lordship's successful career as Go vernor-General, and the glorious results of that policy that had established on a firmer basis than ever the British rule in India. His lordship warmly thanked the Mayor for the compliment paid to him. Aniline colours, when dissolved in alco thickened with varnish, have been used with success in tinting albumenised photographs, and are suitable for transparencies on glass. , an, SHARE MARKET---THIS DAY.

In Saturday's local markets the supplies of English wheat were very limited ; nevertheless both red and white qualities moved off slowly, at barely previous quotations. There was a fair consunptive demand for most descrip• tions of spring corn, et fall currencies; but the demand for flour was in a sluggish state. _ A further decline of about is per quarter has taken place in the value of wheat in most of the French markets. Flour, too, has somewhat declined in price. In America the quotations generally continue to give way. Very limited supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week From abroad the imports were -12,068 qrs of wheat, 2,783 barley, 4,100 oats, 3,016 beans, 2,000 tares, 18,261 linseed, 4,606 rapeseed, 490 maize, 15 seeds, 1,836 sacks and :6,804 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat, though by m means extensive, showed a decided increase when compared with Monday last, and the samples almost generally came to hand in fair condition. Owing to the prevailing favourahe weather, as well as to the satisfac tory accounts which hat been received respecting the wheat plant, sales progressed slowly in both red and white quali ties, and, in some instances, a slight reduction in the cur rencies realised on Morriss) , last was acceded to. The show of samples of foreign wheat was seasonably extensive, and the trade generally ruled inactive, yet no quotable change took place in prices compared with this day se'nnight. For floating cargofs of grain there was a fair demand, and the currencies on the whole ruled firm. There was a somewhat increased supply of malting barley on offer, yet the inquiry continued active, at extreme rates. Grinding and distilling sorts, however, met a slow market, on former terms, _ _ _ • Good and fine malt was firm as to price. Inferior parcels commanded very little attention. Oats, the supply of vhich was very moderate, moved off steadily, at full quotations. We were very moderately supplied with beans, for which the trade ruled firm, at quite previous rates. Peas were quite as dear as on Monday last, the supply on offer being small, atd the market for them firm. Barrel flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates. Town and couttry-made qualities, however, sold slowly. The former fell4s, or to 51s per 280 lbs. CURRENCY PER.

The general condi tion of the foreign arrivals still continues very middling, when compared with last year. With home• fed beasts we were well supplied as to num ber, and the quality of all breeds, especially the Scots, short-horns, and crosses, was very prime. The attendance of country buyers being small, the beef trade was in a most inactive state, at quite last Monday's decline in the quota tions. The extreme value of the best Scots and crosses was 4s 2d, and many really fine beasts changed hands as low as from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per Bihs. A total clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgesbire we received 2,300 Scots, crcsses, and short-horns; from other parts of England 850 various breeds; from Scotland 600 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 50 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was somewhat extensive, and nearly all breeds appeared in pod saleable condition. The mut ton trade was hem y, at a further decline in prices of 2d per 81bs. Prime Downs and half-breeds out of the wool sold at 4s 6d, in some instances, at 4s 8d per 81bs. The tap value of Downs, in the wool, was 5s 6d per Blbs. We may ob serve, however, that very few were offering. Lambs were in full average supply, and steady request, at Thursday's currency—viz 68 4d to 7s 8d per 81bs. About 650 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Prime calves sold steadily at full quotations, but inferior veal was a dull inquiry, at late rates. There was only a limited demand for pigs, at late quo tations. Much inconvenience has been experienced to-day owing to notice having been issued by the commissioners of police forbidding the removal of stock from the market between the hours of 10 and 7 o'clock.

THE CONDEMNED SCOTCH MURDERESS.—A com munication has been received at Dumfries from the Home office, stating that after the most careful consideration, and communicating with the judge who presided at the trial, Sir G. Grey can see no ground for recommending that the capital sentence in this case should be commuted. The pri soner will therefore be executed at Dumfries to-morrow (Tuesday). SUCIDE IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.—On Saturday Mr. Humphreys held an inquest at the George the Fourth, Green-street, Bethnal-green, on John Frederick Smith, aged 60. The deceased had been an inmate of the lunatic ward of St. George's Workhouse, having suffered from delirium tremens, brought on by excessive drinking. He had frequently threatened to destroy himself, ani his body was found in the Regent's Canal. Verdict—" That de ceased drowned himself while in an unsound state of mind."

" The Japanese Ambassadors," says the Siecle, " will not leave for London until Wednesday next. A French vessel will be placed at their disposal at Calais, to convey them to Dover. An attache of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to accompany the Legation until it shall have been confided to the care of the English authorities. The embassy will only remain for 12 days in England, and then proceed to Holland, where they are to remain until the end of May. They will afterwards spend 10 days in Berlin, and abut the same at St. Petersburg. Portugal will only receive the ambassadors after they have again been to Paris, where they propose to remain another fort night. A French vessel will afterwards convey the whole of the Legation to Japan, via Suez. IMPORTANT EXTENSION OF COPYRIGHT IN ORNA MENTAL DESIGNS.—It is pretty generally known (says the Birmingham Post). that the Chambers of Commerce of Birmingham and Sheffield have been en gaged for some time in endeavouring to effect an extension of copyright in ornamental designs. It will be seen by the following communication, addressed to the Birmingham Chamber, that the effect had been completely successful, a result that shows in a marked manner the practical value of such commercial associations :—" Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, April 9. Gentlemen, I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your me morial, praying for an extension of the terms of copyright for ornamental designs applied to works in metal, and sup porting your application by statements of manufacturers personally engaged in the several departments in that branch of trade. From the evidence thus furnished, it ap pears that the time occupied in preliminary arrangements, and the preparations of designs previous to the manufactured article being presented in the market varies from 6 to 24 months. The majority of those by whom these statements are furnished asked that a period equivalent to the time thus consumed may 1 e added to the existing term of protec tion, thus extending the whole to five years. My lords direct me to inform you that, considering a ease to have been shown for the expediency of this extension, instructions have been given to the officer at the head of the Registry of Designs to take the necessary steps for extending the copy. rights of all articles in metal included in class 1, from three years, as at present, to five years for the future.—l am, gen tlemen, your obedient servant, J. EMERSON TENNENT.— To the Council of the Chamber of Commerce of Birming ham and the Midland District." FATHER DALY'S APOLOGY.—The Galway Vin dicator states that the following is an accurate copy of Father's Daly's apology to Bishop M'Evilly :—" I beg leave to express my sincere regret in not having obeyed the mandate of my bishop, issued to me on the 26th December last, which was preceded by several letters of entreaty and remonstrance. I have also to express my sincere regret for having violated, by the public celebration of mass, and by hearing confession, the suspension inflicted on me by my bishop. I regret having addressed the people on Sunday, January 5, in the chapel of Bushy-park, and, subsequently, in this parish church of St. Nicholas, en the subject of the suspension. I regret the excite ment created in the House of God, and in the pub lic streets, and, es a minister of religion, I conjure those who behaved irreverently in presence of the blessed Sacra ment, to mike reparation for the insults offered to our blessed Lord in the Sacrament of his Love. I desire to express my entire disapprobation of the use of language de rogatory to the office and authority of my bishop, and of any line of conduct, or form of expression, on the part of any person whomsover, calculated to coerce or overawe those whom alone the Holy Ghost has appointed to govern the Church of God, in the free exercise of that authority, confided to them by the exercise of St. Peter, the supreme visible head of God's Church, the Vicar of Christ upon earth. Ido hereby request of my bishop, in virtue of the powers specially delegated to him by the Apostolic See, to absolve me from the suspension he inflicted on me, and the irregularities I incurred by ite violation." A letter from Leipzic speaks in high praise of the remarkable pianoforte playing of Mr. Dannreuther, a young American, pupil at the Conservatory there.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. EX PARTE MATLOCK BATH DISTRECT. Mr. Lush, Q.C., moved for a Jule in this cause, calling upon th e Home Department why a mandamus should not be issued commanding the insertion in the London Gazette of an order of the 9th of November, settling the boundaries of the Matlock Bath District, in Derbyshire, under the pro visions of the Local Management Act of 1858. Rule refused. LINDSEY V. LEATHEY. This cause, which was orignally tried at Guildhall, was brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum effected as an insurance on a ship called the Harbinger. The vessel in question became disabled and so much damaged during a voyage that she was compelled to put into Algoa Bay. The plaintiff claimed for a total loss, and the company, repre sented by the defendant, contended it was only a partial loss. At the trial the decision was in favour of the plain tiff. Mr. Bovill was about to move for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the verdict was against evi dence, when The Lord Chief Ju , tico said he was compelled to absent himself when the case was set down for last week. On that occasion he had informed his learned 'Bothers, that there ought be a new rule, and that being so, he thought it would save time now if the rule was granted without the facts of the case, which were very lengthy, being entered into. Rule granted accordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE CORPORATION OP GREAT YARMOUTH V. GROOM. Their lordships were occupied the whole of the early part of the day in hearing the arguments in this case, which were without the slightest public interest. The principal point appeared to be the tolls to be levied from the inhabi tants of the town of Ipswich for a stall in the market place. The Court gave its decision in favour of the plaintiffs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. TIOWES V. FAWCETT. This was an action brought to recover compensation for injuries received. Ihe defendant contended that the plain tiff himself conduced towards the accident, The defendant was a builder, and a quantity of scaffolding fell from a building which was going on under his direction, and the injury complained of was received by the plaintiff. The defendant said that the plaintiff loosened the mate rials by jumping from one part of the scaffolding to the other. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE "LONDINIAD" AND ITS POET.-CURIOUS ACTION.- LIDSTONE V. "WALLIS. This was an action to recover for 100 copies of a work called the " Londiniad." Plaintiff put in the order signed by defendant, in which defendant agreed to take 100 copies of the work with a cer tain poem, and business card inserted. Defendant said he had a little history to relate to the court, which would much surprise all present. A gentle man called upon defendant, who is the proprietor of a ledger index lately exhibited ty the Society of Arts, and with some flow of language praised the valuable :nvention to the skies. " I have," said the mysterious visitor, " written a poem upon it—would you like to hear it ?" Defendant, of course, much pleased, listened to the strain, and finally the visit ended by an order for 100 copies of the "Londiniad," with poem recited by the visitor, and defendant's busi ness card inserted. In course of time the " Londiniad" arrived, but in only seventy-six copies was the poem, it being excluded in the remaining 24, When defendant read through the book he found to his amazement that he was not the only inventor of !edger indices worthy of a poem, for the " Londiniad's" poet had called upon his muse to assist him on behalf of other gentle men whose works were much lauded. Defendant, with some gusto and considerable dramatic accent, read some of the poetry, which provoked great laughter in court, and his Honour not being satisfied that the whole 100 copies delivered, contained the poem found for the defendant, with costs. PROFESSIONAL MEN AND REFERENCES-DANS V. RIDDLER. His Honour said he had asked a dentist to take a reference in this ease, which was about artificial teeth, and the dentist had refused. Mr. Buchanan had no objection to omit. His Honour— I think counsel could take the case as well as a dentist. Mr. Buchanan—Oh, quite. His Honour—Mr. Gibbons will take it. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Langham then conferred, and agreed that the case should be referred to Mr. Gibbons. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH 'STREET. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—FREQUENT NIGHT ROBBERIES.—Wm. Angel, a tall, rough-looking fellow, was charged with the following highway robbery. Henry James NVessen, a porter at Mr. Burton's, iron monger, of Oxford-street, said, that at five minutes past 12 on Saturday night, the prisoner came up to him at the corner of Goodge-street and asked him an address. He im mediately felt the prisoner's hand at his watch, and the pri soner started off, having taken the watch and leaving the guard dangling. He immediately pursued the prisoner with the cry of " Stop thief," and while he did so he was twice bonnetted by men who he had no doubt wt rp t 1P rrieraier's friends, in Pitt street. He afterwards gave the prisoner in charge in John-street. The watch produced was his pro perty. _ _ . _ John Strode, a painter, of 4, Pitt-street, proved hearing a cry of " Stop thief," and pursuing the prisoner and stop ping him. James Craske, 160 E, said he was informed by a little boy that a man bad been stopped in John-street. On going up the prosecutor gave the prisoner in charge. He afterwards received the watch from the landlord of No. 87, John-street, the prisoner in his flight having thrown it down the area. The prisoner was remanded by Mr. Knox for a week. FISHING IN THE SERPENTINE.—ASSAULT ON A PARK KEEPER.—Henry Ovens was charged with assaulting John Browning, Hyde-park constable No. 21. Browning said he stopped the prisoner yesterday morning at eleven, and told him, he having children with him, that he must not fish in the Serpentine. Prisoner said, " What, do you call this fishing ?" He (witness) took the can away from one of the children, and then the prisoner made an attack on him and bit his thumb, and behaved in an ex cited manner, and called out to the bystanders to assist him. Defendant—l was wheeling a child along at the time in a perambulator, when the park-keeper came up and said I had been fishing. The park-keeper seized a can from the child to throw it in the water, and I tried to prevent him. If I had known I was not allowed to fish, I would have given up the fish at once. Mr. Knox said when a park-keeper came up to do his duty he must not be assaulted. It was absurd to talk of its being an offence for little children to catch the fish; but he (defendant) had lost his temper, and acted wrongly. His only fear, when he (the magistrate) went to see for himself, ws that the little children might fall in. They did not seem to be in anybody's way. lie had on a former occasion told the park-keeper to take the sticks and bottles away, but not to bring the children to the court in custody. The defendant was fined ss. THAMES, THIS DAY. DARING ROBBERY ON BOARD AN OUTWARD BOUND SHIP IN THE LONDON DOCKS.—A tall, well-dressed man, named John Forbes, who was at once identified as a well known thief, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with breaking into a lady's cabin and the captain's cabin of the shin Alminton, in the Shadwell basin of the London Dock. A special application was made to Mr. Woolrych at 11 o'clock to hear this case first, to which he consented, but it was 12 o'clock before all the applicants for summonses, war rants, and advice were heard, and the prisoner was then arraigned in the felons' dock. The Alminton, a large barque, is bound to Adelaide, and is to sail with this afternoon's tide with a valuable cargo and numerous passengers. On Saturday afternoon Mr. G. Amies, clerk to Messrs. Button and Bevan, the charterers of the ship, noticed the prisoner on board for three hours, and asked him what business he had there, to which he replied, that he was a friend of the steward, and was on a visit to him. At a later hour in the evening, a lady passen ger informed Mr. Amies that a man was secreted in the ad joining cabin, and she was afraid he had been breaking open packages and committing a robbery. Mr. Amies im mediately seized the prisoner, and asked him how he dared to intrude in the cabin. He hesitated for some time, and then said he had been sick, and went into the cabin to get a little rest. The prisoner was immediately delivered into the custody of a dock constable, named Spence, who searched him, and found upon him three muslin handker chiefs, with the captain's name, John Hall, in marking ink upon them. He said he had taken them out of a cabin on board. The ship was immediately overhauled, and it :was discovered that the captain's cabin and lady pas senger's cabin were separated from each other by a water closet, had been broken into. Two large trunks, a port manteau, and a caddy, in the ladies cabin had been forced open with great violence, and the contents, consisting of linen, wearing apparel, fancy articles, and other goods, were strewed about the cabin. A leather hat-box, which Captain Hall deposited in the water-closet on Saturday had also been opened, and the three handkerchiefs, with his name upon them, were missing. They were now identified by Captain Hall. The only article missing from the ladies cabin was the black lace veil taken from the prison er . Th e thief would, no doubt, have carried off a large booty if he had not been so opportunely discovered by Mr. Amies. Sevezal house-breaking imple ments were found in the cabins. They had been used in breaking open the portmanteaus, hat box, trunk, and caddy. Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial, and said as Captain Hall was compelled to sail with his ship directly he would dispense with his attendance at the sessions. The handkerchiefs were marked with his name and would be identified by others. mm: ... . THE BALLOT IN F8,12!-CE. In reference to a recent letter of the Vice Chair man of the Ballot Society on the subject of the ballot in France, the following letter has been re ceived from a member of the English bar, officially connected with the city of York, and now resident in the south of France:— I observed in the York Herald of the 12th inst., a letter from you relating to a letter from the Hon. S. E. Dundas, in which he says that " in France the existence of the ballet is merely nominal." You then observe, "if the ballot he (as I concur with Mr. Dundas in thinking) in France merely a name &c." This statement was so extraordinary and startling, that I made inquiries of French gentlemen of this place (Montpellier), and amongst others of an ancient Prefet of aDepartment, how elections were conducted in Francs. They take place in every Commune before the Maire of the Commune, for each Commune has its Moire. On the day appointed the electors repair to the Maire's house or office, each elector writes upon a small piece of paper the name of the candidate he wishes to vote for, folds it up, that is, doubles it up so that no one can see the name thereon written, and presents it to the Maire, who in the presence of the elector drops it into a box like a letter box. The elector may write this piece of paper at his own house, or where he likes, and puts it in his pocket and keeps it there till he arrives before the Maire. Very often a candidate has his name printed on a slip of paper, and distributes them to those he be lieves will support him, and there is often a tumult at the door, the friends or agents of each candidate persuading the electors to accept voting papers of to escape importunity, s n i o ie t h , b e u a t nd if id a a n te y . eleTchey may succeed or they may tors, ac cepts a paper with the name of Mr. A. upon it, that is no reason why he should not have another in his pocket, with the name of Mr. B. upon it, which latter he presents to the Maire. Nobody can know what he has done, unless he is so unwise as to tell of himself. This state of things has only existed since the in troduction of the universal suffrage. Great abuses existed before, when electors were obliged to have a qualification. At present there are some eight million electors in France, and in each a conscrip tion (or district),there may be some 30,000 or 40,000 voters. It is not to be expected that they all vote, but perhaps some 25,000 or 30,000 may vote, and it is absurd to suppose that such a body of men could be bought or intimidated either by the Government or any other men or body of men. It is generally in small constituencies such as Wakefield, Gloster or Preston, that men are bought, intimidated, or cajoled as slaves. Ballot is a hopeless case inEng,-- land, unless the people rise en masse and desire it, because as it is, any man who has from £5,000 to £lO,OOO to spare, may think it mighty genteel to buy into Parliament, and any Peer or great man having a stupid son or nephew may think it mighty aristocratic to have a scion of his noble and ancient family in Parliament. A PROSPEROUS COLONY. (From the Melbourne Herald.) Not only were there in times past, but there are even now, as fine opportunities in this colony for a man bettering his condition in any walk of life, as were ever before pre sented in a colony not numbering more than five or six hundred thousand souls, We shall not be guilty of the folly of comparing Melbourne with London, which now possesses a population in excess of that of the ancient king dom of Scotland. And for the same reason we abstain from any comparison between the merchants, the shopkeepers, or the tradesmen of the two cities. If persons of this, or of any other class, had been doing all they wished or ex pected in London, they would not, we presume, have had themselves transferred hither. Or if, during their absence, they have acquired so much more capital or skill as to justify their removal to the world's great mart of enterprise and industry, we have no right to suppose that they will long continue to favour us with the sunshine of their presence. There are exceptions of course. But we are now speaking of these classes as a whole. And we have no hesitation in again saying—a little more definitely now perhaps—that there is• no other place in the world, with a population of little more than half a million of souls, in which there is a fairer field for the investment of capital at remunerative rates, than Victoria, or in which there is a wider scope for labour, whether educated and pro fessional, or mechanical and artistic, or unskilled only. That is our posi(ion in reference to Victoria. To that ex tent we are justified in ent.ertaining hopes of success, which should cheer and not depress, in the midst of our struggles. And it would be an agreeable, if it were not a forbidden, task, to produce in tke history of some of our more wealthy Victorians life-like pictures of what we have now been labouring to enforce. We need not go into any particular class for instances of success. The whole colony is a success. And every class in it furnishes instances of almost unexampled success. We are not so squeamish as to think of excepting any, from the fact of their having been proscribed by envy or the want of better information. Who has placed the millions cf sheep and hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses on our runs and stations? By whose hands have millions of acres of land been fenced in, and hundreds of thousands of acres been cultivated ? Whose are the houses, the stores, the shops, the warehouses, and other buildings, in Melbourne and its suburbs ? To whom do the gold fields, towns, and the property on the mines belong, with the vil lages, the homesteads, and the vineyards, scattered over the whole face of the country P Are these no proofs of the prospects the colony holds out for success ? Where are the owners of these millions upon millions' worth of property ? Remember, we are little more than half a million ourselves in the gross, and this is a great deal of property to be di - rided among so few. But where are its principal possessors ? Some of them treading our halls of legislature, some occu pying seats in our courts of justice, some plodding in the counting-house, at their respective professions and trades, or in the workshop, and some still labouring on their runs, in the vineyard, or the field, under the hope of making much more. And is there no hope for us in this? As the owners of these vast accumulations were only a few years ago what many who boast no share in it are now, what is there to hinder the latter from aspiring to the like position a few years hence ? What is to stand in the way of their becoming capitalists, as others have before them ? FOREIGN MAIL PACKET LIST. MAILS DUE. Aus*.ralia and Mauritius, via Southampton.

The verdict created the utmost surprise to every person in court. A LADY IN DIFFICULTIES.--While a lady "fat, fair, and forty," was rolling down the Morse-market, a f ew days ago, with an air majesty peculiar to herself, she suddenly felt as if becoming "Small by degrees, and beautifully less;" and on casting an eye downwards, what was her conster nation on beholding that she had dropped—not anything very remarkable, gentle reader, but something which has been a standing joke for years, viz., a full-rigged crinoline, fully fifteen feet in circumference. A friendly door stood open, and the lady darted in—not to order a new dress, nor even to take a peep at the latest Parisian fashions—but simply to adjust the immense balloon which had fallen to the earth much sooner than the lady had anticipated. The little boys, however, did not witness the catastrophe, and no annoyance was ex perienced . —Kelso Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT TO A CHILD WITH OUT ILL EFFECTS. —M. Josat gives an account of the miraculous escape of a child from the consequences of a frightful accident. This infant, aged 29 months, playing at a window of a house, No. 30, Rue de la Paix, Paris, lost ' its balance and fell out from a height of five stories, striking a hat from the hand of a hatter, who was carrying it home. He lifted the child gently from the pavement and carried it into the house, when after a few minutes the infant heaved a sigh, and then uttered a small doleful cry. All the func tions were gradually re-established, and it was found that there was neither fracture or dislocation, A week after, the child was found playing and merry, as well as ever ; the only traces of any accident being three broken incisors of the upper jaw, and much ecchymosis of the eyelideo--.
