Lord RUSSELL'S letter to the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty will have the hearty ap probation of all his countrymen ; but we much doubt whether it will not be inwardly resented_by the hot Northerners. We have been far too in dulgent to both parties hitherto. The position of the Nashville and the Tuscarora at Southampton was one which, with any sense of propriety, the belligerents would never have taken ; but the Americans have never been distinguished for modesty and forbearance. Under the QUEEN'S orders, just issued, we shall have no more of belli geient vessels watching each other to turn the vicinity of our ports into a battle-field for their own quarrels. It has been felt very annoying that we were compelled to admit into our harbours ships entering them, as it were, red-handed—the Nash ville after having burnt a noble vessel, and the Sumter, .after following the example of the Nash ville. If, indeed, we considered the situation of the Southerners fairly, as they had no chance of taking their captures as prizes into a Southern port, and could not sell them in a neutral p ort, they must burn and destroy if they wished to harrass the enemy by attacking his floating property. Still there is something specially revolting in the use lessly vindictive proceeding of burning in mere wantonness such a noble proof of man's genius as a good ship at sea ; it may be quite good war, but it is hateful Vandalism. The loss inflicted upon the enemy is not one which can affect his warlike ope rations, and there is nothing in the character of a merchant ship to excuse the spite which can con sign her to the flames. We shall, however, do now the very best in our power towards discouraging this brigandage of war. Earl RUSSELL'S communication limits the " comfort and aid" to be afforded to either party to the very smallest which can be bestowed on any vessel whatever. They are all to be treated as "bad company. A beggar starving must be taken in for the night and relieved, and a Sumter or a Tusca rora will be dealt with in like manner. Just enough to enable them to go to sea again, whether in provis rim or coals, will be allowed and no more —" what is necessary for her immediate use," is the limit. A.nd even if driven in by stress of wea ther, sho is to leave again as soon as possible. The 24 hours' rule is also to be strictly enforced. Only coal sufficion t to take the privateer or ship of war to the nearest port of her own country is to be allowed—and no more is to be pet milted "tell three months after the last supplied in British waters." American 'cute ness would doubtless, but for such a limitation of time, have made short cruising voyages from some of our ports, and have returned for fresh supplies to commence another voyage. The new rules will effectually clear our ports of such guests as have long inflicted themselves on Southampton, and ought to be taken as a proof of our wish to be thoroughly neutral. We quite expect, however, that there will be no little heartburning in the North when these orders are made known there. Our neutrality is our offence. The more perfect it is—in the sense of dealing out the same measure to Federalist and Confederate the more angiy it makes the North. Europe, they think, has no right to regard and treat the two as belligerents—the Fede rals are the State—the Confederates are rebels. Earl RUSSELL is careful to spare the pride of the North in hisphraseology ; he speaks of the Southern States, as " calling themselves the •Confederate States of America." That will please so far ; but, in their hearts the Northerns will never forgive treating alike in a British port the Tusearora and the Sumter. Is not the latter a notorious rebel ? Ought not friendly States to treat her as what she is." Is it not giving them encouragement when the rebels find their ships and the Federal ships received with like respect, or like disrespect, at Southampton or Portsmouth ? It is to little pur pose to allege the vast number of the Seceders, or the size of their territory. The more the worse — the diminution of Federal territory and population is so much the greater ; and as the Yankee is the more galled by the vastness of the rebellion, so he thinks we ought to be ; or, at least, our sympathy, should be in proportion to his calamity, not in proportion to the claim which numbers give to the character of nationality in the secession. They may not like to say all this openly, but they will feel it, and hate us for it. All honourable and right they will think that rebel privateers should be sent about their business from British ports as soon as may be, but it is quite another thing when the vessels of their Majesties, the 20,000,000 Sove reigns of the United Northern States, are ordered off in the same manner. We are pleased, however, to see this fresh evi dence that our Government means to be firm in its position of neutrality. It will, we trust, be equally firm in its non-intervention policy. We did not quite like Mr. BAZLEY'S remarks at Manchester on the " judicious advice" Lord RUSSELL was giving, as being likely to break up the blockade. It would be more judicious, we must believe, to proffer no un asked advice at all. Such was Lord RUSSELL'S own opinion ; and, notwithstanding Mr. BAZLEY'S remarks, we hope it is his opinion still. The blockade, on the broad view of the case, we have always held to be a very doubtful injury to us. We question very much whether it will not soon prove td be an advantage. France feels it much more than we do. The superlative importance of making India our cotton-field we have often ad verted to, and to us it still appears that some privation of cotton supply for a time would be a cheap purchase of that great political as well as commercial advantage. It should never be forgotten, that if we choose our Sovereign to be Queen of INDIA, and to govern it without an Indian Parliament, we are morally bound to look to the welfare of our subjects there as much as if they lived in Lancashire. We have, however, equal conviction that fresh cotton fields will be as great an advantage ultimately to Lancashire, as it will be to India to render her our chief cotton grower. Never was there a case, we conceive, in which our interest more fully coincided with the international obliga tion of complete neutrality. It must not be imagined, that the result of the Oxfordshire contest yesterday is, after all, so com plete and unmistakeable a triumph for the Tory Opposition. Sir HENRY DASIIWOOD, the Liberal candid xte, it is true, has been defeated by a clear majority of 192—Colonel FANE having polled 1,914 votes altogether, and Sir HENRY DASIIWOOD 1,722. This was heard at length in Oxford at half-past eight o'clock last evening, when the whole of the returns had been gathered in from the eight county polling places, namely, from Oxford itself, from Banbury, Bicester, Witney, Chipping Norton, Doddington, Tetsworth, and Nettlebed. But, allowing this, admitting that the Liberal candidate was outnumbered to the extent described still it must be added that the triumph is no such grand " catch" for the Tory Opposition after all. For—is it not quite vividly within everyone's recollection who stole even the most careless glance at the preliminaries of this smart contest, that Colonel FANE appeared before the county constituency—Conservative constituency though it is—but as a very half and half Derby-Disraelite, but as a very milk-and water Tory in his way ? What, in effect, was about the most explicit declaration put forward by Colonel FAN E in his explanation here and there to the elec tors before the actual contest commenced, while it was yet pending, while it was even matter of uncer tainty whether Sir HENRY DAsilwooD would, in ( common parlance, come to the scratch, or so far show fight even as to make his appearance as an opp3sing candidate upon the hustings ? Even when rumours were about to the effect that it might be a mere walk over the course for Colonel FANE, the Colonel appeared before his future constituents—in what light ? Is it not at this moment, down at Oxford, within every elector's recollection ? Avowedly, and quite plainly, Colonel FANE announced that he should go to the House of Commons, if elected, not to oppose Lord PALMERSTON'S Government ! Conservative constituency though the Oxford shire constituency is, the Conservative can didate for the third seat—there are two Tories in already—could not venture to appeal to the electors for their suffrages without that distinct declaration, without the positive and ex plicit announcement beforehand that if chosen their member he would not go to the House of Commons to be ranged among Lord PALMERSTON'S opponents. It is significant all this of the strength of the present Government these perpetual tributes of eulogium showered upon our veteran Premier even from the side of his pre sumed antagonists. There is another and a very direct illustration of the same fact coming to us simultaneously with the announcement of the re sult of the Oxford County Election. We allude to the Great Conservative Demonstra tion of Thursday last down at Exeter. According to the local Tory organ, Woolmer's Exeter Gazette, the meeting there on Thursday was b.;th " large and enthusiastic." But it is as signifi as was Colonel FANE'S avowa l b u t cant in its way just now alluded to, that the principal harangue addressed on Thursday to the Tory audience down at Exeter, the speech of Lord COURTENAY contained within it a studied coloquium upon Lord PALMER& TON. It is the same story we hear on all hands • The popularity of the Prime Minister is admitted in common alike by Whigs and Tories, by Liberals and Conservatives. Listen to what Lord COURTENAY has to say upon this point, when talking even to a congenial assem bly of Conservatives down in the old cathedral town of Exeter. " I trust," he says, "Lord PALMER•• STON may be vouchsafed many more years of an honoured life. I think there are many points of his character that it is impossible not to admire very highly, and as an Englishman it is impossible not to be proud of him, besides which his sympathies, if left to himself, aro generally Conservative, and ho would demand nothing better than to be ' saved from his friends,' who sometimes attempt to push him a little further than he wants to go, and a great deal further than it is at all desirable he should go. The mission of the Conservative party in the House of Commons seems at the present time to be to abstain from any unnecessary opposition to the Government of Lord PALMERSTON; and, at all events, whilst-we help to keep them in office, to watch vigilantly the interests of the Church of this country ; to wait patiently and to bide their time. The time must come—will come eventually when the reins of power must pass into the hands of the only party that will be strong enough to 'take them—into the hands of a govern ment possessing official experience, adminstrative ability, the support of the House of Commons, and the confidence of the country." That is really the cry upon all hands. The motto of the Coalition Ministry, just now, is pretty well the same as the motto of Scotland, nemo n2e impute lacessit. That of the Conservative Opposition— that of the PLUNKETTS, festina lente. They will, as Lord COURTENAY says, " Bide their Time." But in the meanwhile, as Colonel FANE intimates in regard to himself—they will not oppose Lord PALMERSTON. There is something more to be done in regard to the Colliery Question than simply to pour in some thousands sterling to swell the funds for the Door widows and orphans of the 200 dead and buried miners down at Hartley, in Northumberland. Th e extraordinary rapidity with which the charitable funds to that end are being collected in all parts of the United Kingdom cannot, of course, but , be matter for very earnest congratulation. But more, far more, will yet be required than the securing for the relicts and survivors of the victims of the late dreadful catastrophe, a humble com petence to set them free from anxiety, now that they have been suddenly threatened with destitution. It was calculated almost immediately after the worst had come to be realised that £17,000 at least would be requisite in order to put the occupants of those desolated houses at Hartley village out of anxiety as to the future. Already the chief part of that sum has been collected, thanks to the munificence of the public at large, a munificence first mani fested in a very conspicuous manner in connection with the great meeting held in January in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Subsequently several thousands have been added to the con siderable amount secured for these unfor tunates at that grand inaugurative demon stration several thousands additional drop ping in from the City of London, from the sea port of Liverpool, and so forth—berievolent sympa thisers springing up in every direction, even far away there across the Channel among the English residents in the gay French capital. The tale of suffering and of terror has gone to almost every heart, and the generosity of a race always remarkable for its benevolence, has nowhere been appealed to in vain. Charitable sermons have been preached in num berless places of worship —sermons followed invari ably by collections made among the respective congregations addressed. Bank notes, gold, silver, halfpenny, have been transmitted to various police courts, by all the letters of the alphabet in all imaginable combinations, sums, small and large, according to the means of the donors, who have thus forwarded their contributions to the same end through the hands of the local magistrates. As at the churches and chapels —so also has it been at various theatres and places of public entertainment. Benefits for the - widows and orphans of the poor Hartley Colliers have been organized under various managements. Even private shop keepers here and there, have opened little subscrip tion lists or placed a money box upon their counters, for chance contributions for the like destination. Before very much longer we doubt no:-, that an announcement will be made officially, of the aggregate results of this scattered but converging benevolence, that will effectually dissi pate any further anxiety about the worldly means of the poor women and children who have been de prived by so appalling a catastrophe of their bread winners and guardians—the props of their humble but honest homes. But then, even then, all will not have Then, even then, the good that may not unreasonably be looked for from the lamentable evil of the late fearful casualty at Hartley New Pit, will have to be begun. The pre vention of future calamities of a like kind by the prompt and resolute interposition betimes of the Imperial Legislature—that is the chief benefit that will have to be looked to, almost immediately upon the reassembling of Parliament. Another week and the Lords and Commons will have gathered toge ther down at Westminster for the commencement of their annual labours. Less than another week will have elapsed when the Royal Speech will inaugurate those labours delivered this time not, of course, by the lips of our beloved and sorrow-stricken Sovereign herself, but vicariously by the Royal Commissioners. That some allusion may be made even ' in the gracioas Speech from the Throne, to this necessity that all have now come to recognise quite distinctly—the at length obvious and long suspected necessity for legislative interference, with a view to render the working of our mines less perillous to human life—we are sanguine. However this may be, there cannot be an in stant's doubt but that the Home Secretary is preparing some draft of an enactment so framed that the single shaft system may be either directly or indirectly got rid of, and that moreover with all imaginable despatch. The public will look for this from her MAJESTY'S Government. Par liament itself will expect it. The Press has already begun to clamour for it. And neither the Press nor the Parliament, any more than the generous hearted Public itself (now pouring in its abundant contributions of benevolence into the laps of the widdws of Hart ley) are likely to find themselves doomed to disap pointment in this matter. A compulsory double shaft system, or at the very least an approxima tion to it, will date —we may rest quite convinced of this—from the year of grace 1862, the dawn of which was so deplorably signalized by this lament- i able accident at Hartley. been done.

The Canadian screw steamer Bohemian, from Portland on the 18th ult., arrived here this morn ing. She experienced strong easterly winds, and a heavy gale from the north-east during her homeward passage. She passed the City of New York on the 23d, and on the same day received despatches at Cape Race. A telegram from Anticosti, N.S., dated the 17th ult., reports that a wreck was visible at Cheticamp, Cape Creton, at low water. The name of the vessel had not been ascertained. She was supposed to be from Montreal. Three dead bodies and 700 firkins of butter had been washed ashore. NEW YORK, JAN. 21. (Per Bohemia, by Telegraph to Cape Race, and from Londonderry.) The report that a Federal steamer had fired into a French steamer at New Orleans is incorrect. It arose from a collision between French and Federal steamers. It is officially reported from Kentucky that the Confederates had attacked the Federals at Somerset. A hot fight ensued, in which General Zollicoffer was killed. The Confederates retreated to their entrenchments, which they deserted during the night, and crossed the Cumberland river. The loss was heavy on both sides. The Federals occupied the Confederate entrench ments, capturing their cannon and stores. The news that General Wood had given notice for the removal of the women and children from Norfolk has not been confirmed. The Confederates are reported to have fallen back from Manassas. No forward movements bare yet been made from Columbus. QUEENSTOWN, FEB. 1. The Liverpool, N-vw York, and Philadelphia Company's steamship Kangaroo, from New York, with dates to the 18th January, has arrived hero with the United States mails and 97 passengers. Her news has been anticipated by the Austra lasian. THE MEXICAN INTERVENTION. PARIS, FEB. 1. The 111 oniteur of to-day publishes a letter from Vera Cruz, dated 31st December, stating that the excitement of the Mexicans was beginning to sub side, The idea of an arrangement was no longer rejected a priori as treason against the nation. There were serious indications that a party was forming which was disposed to repudiate a Govern ment which had been so fatal to the country. The enlightened inhabitants did not wish for war, and the sound-thinking portion of the popu lation demanded the unity of the country under an independent constitutional monarchy. A foreign prince would doubtless rally all sym pathies, but the allies should take care not to put forth any pretensions on their own account, as they would give rise to ideas of conquest which could not fail to wound the national self respect. ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 31. An Imperial decree, dated 28th Jan., has been promulgated to-day ordering the publication of the budget for 1862. The publication will take place very shortly. The Northern Post of to-day states that consider able dissatisfaction, uneasiness, and impatience exist on account of the emancipation of the serfs, and the changes that have been introduced into the financial system, and says : " The dissatisfaction of the nobility arises from the unpunctual payment by the peasants of their dues. The Government having guaranteed the latter, will keep its word ; but it must be under stood the transition requires time. " The nobility must, however, be resolutely pre pared to accept the condition of affairs, and assist the Government. The solution of the question will be found in the final accomplishment of the eman cipation. " The extended participation of the people in the public administration depends upon the nobility, who have it in their power to facilitate or obstruct the efforts of the Government." PARIS, JAN. 31. The Constitutionnel of this evening has an article signed by the chief editor, M. Limayrac, regretting the attack recently made by the Pays on Baron Ricasoli, and declaring that the policy of the French Government is quite independent of the policy of Italy. " It rests with the Italians alone," says M. Limayrac, "to judge what is the best Ministry for them. No foreign Cabinet has a right to exercise any pressure in regard to Ricasoli and Ratazzi, who have both served their country- patriotically. The line of conduct to be followed by the friends of Italy is clearly traced out. They must desire the union of political parties in Italy." CONSTANTINOPLE, SAN. 30. A conference has been held at the official residence of Aali Pasha, between the Representatives of the five great Powers, to take into consideration the present state of affairs in Syria. The Grand Vizier was present upon the occasion. Cabouli Effendi, the Musteshar (Chancellor) of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, has been nomi nated Inspector-General in Syria, and will speedily set out for his post. It is stated that a Turkish squadron will soon sail for Antivari, as a measure of precaution against the disembarkation of revolutionists at that point. ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 30. M. Lambert has arrived here, and has left for Paris, being entrusted with a mission from the King of Madagascar to the Emperor.

The Infante Dom Augusto continues to reside at Lumiar, and to improve in health. The Cortes are discussing the papers presented to the House relative to the late tumults in Lisbon. Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., returns by this packet. This gentleman has visited Lisbon to look after his interest in the affairs of the Company's Union Mer• cantile. It is said that the directors of the Union Bank of London are entertaining the idea of opening a branch in Lisbon. There is no doubt that such an undertaking would yield an ample return for the capital invested, and would meet with the cordial support of the British merchants in Lisbon. There is abundance of business of a first-class character to support a. commercial bank. The steamer Sheidrake, with a cargo of coals, on Government account, for Bermuda, has put in here leaky ; she will return to England after undergoing repairs and discharging her cargo, which will be kept to supply vessels of the royal navy. The law appointing Dom Fernando regent, in the event of such a change being necessary, has been passed ; but the Cortes have not entitled the two married infantas to succeed to the throne. The body of the late Dom John, at the present temporarily deposited in the church of Jeronimites, will shortly be solemnly interred in the Royal Mausoleum of San Vicente.

The Madrid letters of the 26th ultimo state that the Senate, in its sitting of that day, began the dis cussion of the bill for regulating the government of provinces, which was opposed by M. Miraflores as too liberal, and he recommended that it should be withdrawn. The discussion was still going on when post hour arrived. Letters from Vera Cruz, pub lished in the Madrid journals, state that the garri son of the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa destroyed everything they could before their departure ; they also removed above 40 pieces of cannon, but left them all in the neighbourhood for want of convey ance. letters from Majorca announce that the weather had been very rough there, and that a heavy fall of snow had taken place.

" One of the finest screw line of-battle ships in her Majesty's service—the Conqueror, 101 guns — three days ago in the highest state of discipline and preparation fir war, with nearly 1,400 persons on board, is now a useless wreck. Luckily, the weather is tolerably fine, or we should have fared badly, the current having sent us 20 miles out of our r eckoning. "We ran ashore on a coral reef, and in spite of all our exertions, there she lies—the water up to the lower deck, her sides bilged in, and her back broken. " We have sent a boat to Nassau, and another (in which this is to be sent) sails to-morrow morning at daybreak for Jamaica, in time, I hope, to save this mail. " We are all ashore now, with the exception of the commander, one midshipman, and ten men. We have all been working hard to get the provisions ashore, and shall be able to save all our gear (pri vate, I mean), with the exception, of course, of our ale and wine, all of which the captain saw hove overboard, himself lending a hand. The spirits in the spirit-room, wine, &c., were next broached and started over, and all hands set to work clearing the ship.

" EDWARD P. WILLIAMS. " For the benefit of ()till r 4, you might make it public that all hands are saved." OXFORDSHIRE ELECIION. OXFORD, FRIDAY. The polling for this county took place this day, when a great degree of excitement prevailed throughout the various districts, Owing to the excellent arrangements of Mr. Davenport, clerk of the peace, the voting was conducted with the greatest regularity and order. At Oxford there were three booths for the accommodation of the 1,298 voters in that district, and voting took place f,imultaneously at the following places :—Banbury, Chipping Norton, Deddington, Watley, Bicester, Nettlebed, and Testworth. At an early hour Ox ford was alive with vehicles of every description, and there was a general desire on behalf of the par tisans of both candidates to have first blood. At each of the Oxford booths the polling was carried on with great spirit by the Dashwoodites, who preponderated by about 3to 1. The Oxford majority was, however, nullified by the preponder ance of the South Oxfordshire country, the known stronghold of Colonel Fane. The early part of the morning saw Sir Henry Dashwood in a decided ma jority, but as the slips arrived from the various country places the candidates were stated to be ex ceedingly close upon each other, a supposition which proved to be quite correct. The result of the contest will be found in the fol lowing figures, taken from the announcements of Colonel Fane's committee, from which it will be seen the colonel was, at the close of the poll, in a good majority.

AINSWORTH'S NEW STORY.—Part IL, in _ . Bentley's Miscellany. The second instalment of Mr. Ainswerth's new serial romance of "The Lord Mayor of London," like the second drinking song in Othello, is even "more excellent than Vot her !" Our Novelist's hand is evidently in for the running of the race upon which ho has here adventured. And when ever he is "i' the vein" we know by a delightful experience enough at what a pace he can go ! Ex . . gr. his ever-famous " Ride to York" in " Rook wood," written off at a single sitting—night and day —as fast as pen could fly o ver paper. Here, in " The Lord Mayor of London" —a story of which we have in this February number of Bentley five additional chapters—Mr. Ainsworth describes his scenes and personages of a hundred years ago with a gusto. Beckford again flits across the stage, in the mid s t o f th e pageantry. The cleverest incident described in the instalment before us is the interview between the two brothers —the poor old scapegrace elder brother brought out of his strange hiding-place of Little Ease in the Old Guildhall, and the good-hearted, open-handed younger brother, the Lord Mayor himself, Sir Gresham Lorimer. Here, however, are twin forms (arcades ambo!) from that same old Guildhall, more familiar to us. We give the extract because every body will "be glad to know what the Author of " The Tower of London" has to say about— GOG AND MAGOG. In opposite angles, at the west end, and upon octagonal columns, stand the two guardian giants, yclept Go; A nd Magog. Old Strype pretends that these rays' erious figures represent an ancient Briton and a Saxon, and some believe them to be of no greater antiquity than Charles the Second's day ; but we reject these notions altogether. Their origin is buried in obscurity. We suspect thy were fashioned by Merlin, or some equally potent enchanter. If they were tried by the Great Fire, they came out of it uni n j ure d. G og is armed with a halberd, and Magog with a poleaxe, from which hangs a ball set round with spikes. Their mighty limbs, gro tesque attire, bushy black beards, penthouse-like brows overshadowing great protrudinc , eyes, which seem ever disposed to wink at you, and wondrous lineaments in which ferocity is so happily blended with joviality and merriment, must be familiar to all. Familiar also is the veracious legend connected with them. We all devoutly believe, that at, dead of night, when the clock strikes one, these marvel lous images become suddenly instinct with life, and, leap ing down upon the pavement, look out for supper, regaling themselves upon whatever eatables and drinkables they may be lucky enough to meet with, searching for a terrified apprentice in the Little Ease, and sometimes, when bard. pressed, devouring a beadle, great- coat, three-cornered hat, staff and all. Later on in the present instalment of the story we find this interesting account of— THE LORD MAYOR'S STATE-COACH. The gorgeous state-coach, in which our Lord Mayor rode, still exists, and constitutes a principal feature in the annual civic show. Since good Sir Gresham's day, a hun dred Lord Mayors have ridden in it, and we hope it may servo to convey a hundred more to Westminster and back. Though richly gilt and burnished, it is not gaudy, but has a grand, imposing, courtly appearance, and seems fitted for the City sovereign, or for any oth er sovere i gn. Indeed, It formed the model for the royal state-coach—still likewise in use—constructed for George 111. in 1762. Built about. four or five years previous to the date of our story, in the somewhat cumbrous but handsome style of the day, hung , very low, having large windows calculated to afford a full view of those inside it, panels covered with exquisitely painted emblematical designs, and elaborately carved wood work, representing Cupid sustaining the City arms, this state-coach, by its antiquated air and splendour, carries back the mind to another ago. The paintings on the panels, replete with grace and eloquence, are by Cipriani; that on the right door exhibits Fame presenting the Mayor to the genius of the City ; while on the other door is depicted Britannia, pointing with her spear to the shield of Henry Fitz-Alwin, the first Mayor of London, who enjoyed his office for the long term of 21 years—namely, from the first of Richard L to the fifteenth of John. Until of late years the roof of this magnificent carriage was surmounted by a carved group of boys supporting baskets of fruit, but an accident deprived it of this ornament. The original cost of the coach was upwards of a thousand pounds, which will not appear surprising, when its size and the splendour of itg decorations and fittings are taken into account. The ex pense of keeping it in repair is by no means trifling, but this is now borne by the Corporation, whose property the coach has become. The bulk of the February instalment of the - romance consists of an elaborate description of divers incidents in the Lord Mayor's show, par ticularly the procession. And in enditing that gorgeous description, the romancist seems to have dipped his pen less into a standish than into a painter's colour-box. PROSPECTS OF THE IMPORT MARKETS. (From the Circular of ilfessrs. Joseph Travers and Sons.) The probability that the consumption of articles of food and luxury throughout the present year will be far more satisfactory than was generally supposed a few months back, continues to be strengthened, The accounts from Manchester confirm the best hopes that have been expressed from time to time, and at a great meeting at that city on Thursday one of the leading speakers expressed his convic tion that " the distress resulting from the pi esent want of eot.- ton had been greatly exaggerated by the press." In London, the same day, another experienced merchant (Mr. Schuster) avowed that " in his opinion the want of raw material in the cotton trade had not been felt at all." Most persons, in fact, seem to be agreed that, although the operatives in Lancashire are suffering from restricted employment, the evil is less than they would have to endure if the enormous rise in the price of cotton had not prevented the revulsion that would otherwise have occurred from the over-ship ments of manufactured goods to the East and elsewhere during the past two or three years. Another important and gratifying consideration presents itself in the results of the French Treaty. The increased trade with France has already been on a scale to compensate for two thirds of the loss of our foreign trade with the United States ; and there can be little doubt that if M. Fould should succeed in his determination to place the finances of France in a sound position, the confi dence thus to be engendered will be followed by a further development of this traffic to a much more remarkable ex tent. At the same time, every account from India increases the cheerful view of the financial situation, and of the capa bilities of the East with regard to cotton and other staple products, The products of the home revenue, and of the pro bable character of next budget, as likewise are good as could have been expected, notwithstanding the expenses forced: upon us by the conduct of the Washington Government. Estimating these things together, with the statements Of the remunerative character of the business in the woollen districts, and the certainty of the life and traffic that will be witnessed throughout the whole country on the opening' of the International Exhibition, there is solid ground for trusting that, in the face of all contingencies, the employ ment of our population will be such as to enable them to enjoy a full average of the articles of food and luxury to which, under tho effects of free trade, they have become accustomed. A fine harvest seems alone essential to secure this consummation, and thus far in every respect the signs in the agricultural districts are of good promise. NARROW ESCAPE OF TEDDINGTON, THE WINNER OF THE DERBY IN lBsl.—Tho Elberfeld Gazette says :--- " On Monday week the Belgian steamer Baron Osy arrived at Antwerp from London, having on board two very valu able horses, which had been purchased in England for the Emperor of Austria, and were then on their way to Vienna, under the care of an English jockey. Ono of these horses was the renowned Tcddingtbn, winner of the Derby in 1851, for which the Emperor had paid the enormous sum of £1,700. In Antwerp harbour preparations were made to land the horses. Whilst the Custom-house officers were engaged in inspecting the effects of the passengers, a loud cry and a splash were suddenly heard, Teddington had fallen into the water. The steam-boat people had placed a board without railings from the vessel to .the quay for the horse to walk ashore upon; but the fiery animal, feeling the insecurity and weakness of tho board, made a backward plunge, and fell from a height of 25 or 30 feet into the Scheldt. The horse sank to the bottom, but fortunately rose again to the surface, when he was seized by the beady and after a struggle of about half-an-hour's duration was brought to land. Though apparently uninjured, ho must have suffered by his involuntary bath in such cold weather." MARRIAGE LAW DEFENCE ASSOCIATION.—This ecclesiastical league, organised to oppose the bill for making lawful marriage with a de - ceased wife's sister, has ceased to have a public existence. The committee have discharged their officials, sold their desks and inkstands, ano let the r offices, No. 26, Parliament- street, London, to Messrs. R. Morrison and Co., engineers and founders, of Newcastle upon-Tyne. The reason alleged is, that they could not afford the expense attendant on the position they had as sumed. The public did not support them. The signatures to petitions in favour of legalising ouch marriages have been 1,095,814; those against, 142,137. JENNY LlND.—During her concerts at Bath this week, Madame Lind has stayed most of her time at Clifton. We hoar that she will not complete her tour in the provinces without giving the Bristolians a second concert. On her last visit it will be remembered she was too ill to go through the programme, her efforts to do so being quite painful to the audience, who fully appreciated her gene rosity in giving the proceeds of the entertainment to the Hospital and Infirmary.—Era. THE WAGES QUESTION IN THE NAIL TRADE.-- On Monday and Tuesday meetings of the nail forgers of the Lye district were again held at that place, and were very numerously attended. It was resolved at the former meting that there should be a general strike, unless the 20s. rate was paid by the masters. In order, however, to show their desire of conciliation, the men resolved first to visit the masters, and ask if they would consent to paY the ordinary rate of wages. This was done, and at the meeting on Tuesday it was announced that the masters had expressed their willingness to pay the 20s. rate, thus putting aside the probability of a strike. There were some four or five dissentients among the roasters, and the hands in their employ were accordingly put on strike. It was also resolved to take measures to put down the truck system. In those quarter's where this system pre vails, the men being put on strike, it is resolved to solicit contributions from the shopkeepers, as they also would gladly see the system put an end to. —Birmingham IMO .Post, MI ■ 11,F1 II 4 ►
