AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry c but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL vimm, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. - - - The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its effects. and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S "SELF-PRESERVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Musical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has just been published by Mann and Co., 39, Cornhill, London, price Is., , sent post free for 13, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stam p s Dr. LAMEUT, M.D. &c., havingfor 20 years devoted himself entirely to this branch of practice, may be consulted d ail y , either personally or by correspondence, at his residence, No 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE.

HOUrra 9+ COU Alltation- 7 10 to 3 and 6 to *I Z11;11146, tffir—• This meeting, although devoid for the last few years of the Guy Stake•, in which many a candidate for honours at Doncaster has shown his quality or received his coup de grace, began with a well-filled list of runners and promise of good sport. Rain during the previous night had laid the dust and improved the condition of the racecourse, on which a fair sprinkling of the aristocracy met the professionals of the turf. Some little betting went on during the half hours allowed between the decision of the different events, and Carisbrook appeared likely to join the outside rank of the favourites ; Hurricane met with such support as caused the price taken on Monday about The Marquis to be offered on the field. Argonaut was in demand at the odds we quote below. The fields for nearly all the races were good, and the fund benefitted by the sales of two winners to the amount of £172. Punctuality was attended to, and the last event decided within a few minutes of the time for which it was advertised. The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 added; for all ages. Winners extra.

Jack's Alive, Lady Derby, Mountain Maid, and Weather spy were first off, but after going a few strides Lady Derby took up the running and carried it on to the Swan Meadows, Hopeful Duchess and Vulture being in the extreme rear. Jack's Alive then passed Lady Derby, and had a slight lead until approaching the straight, where Libellous, fol lowed by Twilight on the inside, with Weatherspy at her girths, came through his horses and went immediately to the front. From that point the race was never in doubt ; Weatherspy passed Twilight at the distance, but could not reach Libellous, who won easily by half a length, Twilight finishing three lengths from Weatherspy. About eight lengths from her came Mountain Maid, Lady Derby, and Jack's Alive, in the order named, the last of all being Vulture. The Racing Stakes of 5 soya each, with 25 soya added, for horses of all ages. Optional selling weights and allow ances. Winners extra, Three-quarters of a mile.

After breaking away three times Sybil set off with the lead in a straggling start, Harvest Moon, Plum, and Maurice being the next three. On coming round the bend Harvest Moon took up the running, Sybil lying second, and Wave third to the Stand, where they changed places. The favourite won in a canter by a length and a half, a similar distance separating the second and third. The winner was sold to Mr. Fleming for 130 guineas,and Mr, Bruce claimed Wave.

Before reaching the turn the Mississippi filly took third place, and no further change occurred among the leading horses& David Ann, who swerved slightly in front of the stand, won easily by two lengths, the Mississippi filly being a bad third. The rider of Gipsy Girl objected to David Ann for crossing him, but the objection was overruled. Match, £lOO, 25ft. One mile.

Atter Magnum Bonum had shown temper and broke away, he was led back from th, stand to the post, and at last started very unkindly. Master George led off, with Bally Edmond on his near side, and Bryn Gwyn on the whip hand, close up, Man-at-Arms being last. They went thus to the turn in going oat, when Bally Edmond headed Master George, and led the lot over the hill, Victrix taking third place and Magnum Bonum fourth. On again ap pearing in sight Bally Edmond was still first, but Magnum Bonum had taken second place, Master George being third, and Victrix fourth. All through the Swan Meadows the whole field lay close together, Man-at-Arms continuing as before, and Victrix passing Master George before entering the straight, where Magnum Bonum and Bally Edmond were side by side. Man-at-Arms then joined the front rank, and a very interesting race ensued. Bally Edmond finally won without difficulty by half a length, a head only separating each of the next three. About two lengths from them Master George and Donne Canne finished abreast, with The Prophet next, and Bryn Gwyn pulling up last.

Jas. Spence, now in this port, there is a well-conducted seaman rather superior to his class, named Thomas Ray, of Larne, near Belfast ; a fine young fellow of 25. On Tuesday at about 6 p.m. he came to land in a shore-boat to get his watch mended. In passing the American ship Alexandrine, four seamen belonging to that vessel got into the boat also to come ashore. On arriving at the stairs two of the Ameri , cans went to the post-office, and the other two with the Englishman went to a grog-•shop known as belonging to " English Mary," from the fact of the mistress being an old acquaintance with every British sailor, merchant or man-of-war's-man, who has ever visited Leghorn. They were here joined by one of the Americans from the post office. The men affirm that they only drank at this place a small liqueur glass of rum and a glass of wine each, after which they left for a ramble, during which they joined company with the boatswain and cook of the Alex andrine, who had also come ashore. The six men then turned into a grog-shop in the Via San Giovanni, not exactly one of the most respectable quarters in Leghorn. They found a number of people drinking at tables, so with out sitting down they walked up to the counter and asked for a glass of anisette each, but before they had time to drink the liquor a party of Livornese blackguards came up to the counter, and pushed them aside so rudely as to pro duce a row immediately. The first blow was bestowed on the black American cook's curly head with a bludgeon,and a regular rush was made at the others to overpower them by numbers,whilst from the door stones and brickbats were copiously discharged at them. The attack was so sudden and so unlooked-for that the sailors were stupified and daunted, and fearing for their lives, with good reason, as matters turned out, escaped into the back shop and cellar to hide amen& the casks. These were Thomas Duval, of Canada, Charles Adeono,.Charles Stepney, Charles Selding, and Henry Whaley, American seamen. The American boatswain, a young fellow of Herculean proportions, seeing that the mob had closed the door of the shop, and seemed determined to surround and finish their intended victims, shouted to his men not to " stow themselves away" in the back shop, as they would certainly be found and murdered, and setting them a vigorous example himself, he made a rush for the door, dragging his assailants with him. His impetus was so great that he went smash through the panels, and plunged head for wards into the street, where he met with no better treat ment than inside, the mob attacking him with bludgeons and daggers till they got him to the ground, where they kicked him most brutally until he could resist no more. The Englishman Ray did his best to follow the boatswain, but suffered more in the rush, from having more dastardly assailants round him. He succeeded in breaking through, but not without severe injuries, inside and outside the shop, and was finally left insensible on the ground, whence he was carried by police and bersaglieri to the hospital in a deadly swoon. The poor fellow was stabbed in 17 places—head, throat, body, and limbs—besides bruises and kicks innu merable. The arrival of the police probably saved the lives of the whole party, as the refugees in the cellar were found by them and carried off to gaol; as was also the other sea men, who had gone to the post, and had only returned in time to see the end of the fray, as a surprised spectator I In fact, the assaulted party were captured, and the assail ants were left scot free, as is customary in this town, as if the police were really afraid of the roughs, and averse to chastising them. I saw poor Ray this afternoon at the hospital, where he was well attended to certainly; but his poor body presented a most lamentable spectacle—bruised, pierced, and patched in every direction. Many of the wounds are in ugly situations, especially all down the right side, a circumstance which shows that the dastards who stabbed him were behind him at the time, as they would of course use their rights hands in piercing him. Ray was of an ashy leaden hue, but whether his wounds will prove fatal or not can only be decided in a few days, when it will appear how far the more important viscera have been punctured. I also visited the boatswain, who was better off, having been only battered and kicked all over the head and body, besides a stab in his thigh and two in his arm. He was sitting on his bed, in the mad ward, where, by the-bye, they had put him, and the vice-consul and myself had to pass a lot of roaring and strait-waistcoated fellows before reaching his cell. He narrated the affair in terms quite agreeing with the depositions of the other men, from whom, however, he was kept separated entirely. He was disgusted at being fed with water gruel, and much put out at the whole occurrence, as his ship was ready for sea, and the captain " calculated" to have sailed yesterday morning. Ills narration of the fray was graphic, and enriched with some very choice flowers of Yankee rhetoric. His personal appearance, cast in " nature's largest mould," was certainly imposing, and I can fully imagine that his rush at the door, which eventually saved the lives of the whole party, must have been terrific. Now, what did these murderous wretches want with the seamen ? Were they the scum of Leghorn armed with a Mazzinian revolt which they were angry at not being able to get up, and glad to wreck their rage on some victims or other ? Did they remember the anniversary of Sept. 2,1848, when they used their daggers with such effect as to bring an Austrian occupation for 10 years on the city ? or did they merely intend to kill and pillage the poor fellows who had tumbled into their haunt ? We must look for the ex planation of these mysteries to the police, which has hither to shown its chief activity by imprisoning the victims. The people of the shop claim indemnity for the damage commit ted, and declare the seamen were drunk; but the boatswain assured me that they were not so in the least, and that the glasses of spirit they had ordered were only just set upon the counter when the affray began. Mr. Macbean, the con sul, and his brother, the vice-consul, are occupied in exa mining the affair thoroughly, in order to obtain justice, if possible, from the authorities. Unfortunately, this is not a very easy matter, it appears, for the ruffian railway staff holder, who, as I told you in a preceding letter, so brutally assaulted Mr. Jopling's cashier, Mr. Wilkinson, about a fortnight ago, is walking about quite at his ease, and feels so little that he has done wrong, that he is going on in the same line, having now selected a new victim in the person of Mr. Pettigrew, the head carpenter of the first section of the Maremma Railway, whom he so perse veringly threatens to murdei Mr. Pettigrew is obilged to go about with a pistol always in his pocket. Why the authorities take no notice of such things is utterly inexplicable. Patrols are on the look out night and day to prevent Garibaldian proclamations from being stuck up, and to overawe Republican bullies; but the peaceable citizens and the for e i gner w h o comes t o i n t ro d uce civiliza tion and the advantages of B r iti s h i nven ti o n an d manufac ture i ture are n a great measure unprotected. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Reg u G t ly Return.) The weekly reportraisrs-uedenerb7sliee authority rk of tho Re gistrar-General states that the deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday numbered 1,179. If the deaths from epidemic cholera in the thirty-sixth week of 1854 are excluded from the returns on which the calculation is based, it will be found that the average rate of mortality in the first week of September in ten years (1852-61) gives 1,160 deaths; and that the deaths now returned are not much in excess of the estimated number. The deaths from measles rose from 40, the average of the two previous weeks, to 58 in the last week. This disease appears to be much more prevalent in the eastern districts, and especially the neighbourhood of Bethnal-green, than in any other por tion of the metropolis. In the Hackney-road sub-district, it was returned in seven cases ; in Limehouse four were re turned. Scarlatina was fatal in 77 cases, four of which oc curred in the Kensington-town sub-district ; 11 in Pancras, and Bin Rotherhithe. There were 54 deaths from typhus, a number which exhibits a decline on those of some previ ous weeks. Diarrhcoa continues to decrease ; it rose to its maximum, 123, in the third week of August, and fell to 83 last week. Two-thirds of this latter number occurred in the east and south districts. Besides those from diarrhoea, 11 deaths, of which nine were those of infants, were refer red to cholera and choleraic diarrhoea. A man, aged 49 years, died in Silchester-mews, K ens i ng t on , from " diarrhoea and vomiting (nine days), cholera (four days), collapse (two days)." A police-constable, aged 25 years, died on 16th August from " suffocation by three false teeth being drawn into the glottis when he was running." A widow died at the age of 95 years. Last week the births of 922 boys and 905 girls, in all 1,827 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1,788. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.702 in. The reading rose to 29 . 91 in. on Sunday, and fell to 29'48 in. on Wed nesday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 57 deg., which is 1.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 71.9 deg. on Tuesday; the lowest night temperature was 45'6 deg. on Friday. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 26.3 dog. The mean daily range was 18.8 deg. The difference in till Tuesday afternoon, between the mean dew p oin t temperature and a i r tem perature was 6.1 deg. The mean degree represented b y 10 f humidity o of th o e ai. from me wwainhBdi2c blew complete letiwmfeiiotn wtah saturation ein tnorth-eastes south-west, s b et h -w es t. T he amount of rain in the week was 0.39 in., a great part of which fell on Wednesday; smaller quantities fell on almost every other day. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 631 deg. ; the mean of the lowest was 61.5 deg. M. Chacornac has published the following fur ther remarks en this new visitor, still visible in the heavens, but hastening on to the southern hemi sphere :—" The comet continues to present interest ing phases in the development of its aigrets. Ob serving attentively the form of the jets which proceed from it at intervals, I have just remarked a stranger fact than those already described in the preceding notes. In the last, I mentioned that one of these jets or rays pointed first in the direction of the sun, spread out then in the direction contrary to the movement of the comet; then on the follow ing day it was observed making an angle with the direction of the night before. The recent fine weather having given me the opportunity for whole nights to notice the changes of the various vaporous jets which have proceeded from the nucleus, I will relate the phenomena in their proper order. In the first place, it is necessary to say that the ray which was the night before pointed towards the sun was not the same which was seen the next day bending in an opposite direction to the movement of the comet. This last was a new ray emitted by the nucleus in the same jdirection. Between the 17th and 20th August, from alternately exact rectilinear, or curved and diffuse lines which the rays pre sented, I suspected the identity of these two jets; but, according to the opinion of Bessel, who had remarked a change in the axis of the aigret of Halley's comet, I thought there might be some movement analogous to that of the comet itself, and all the appearances seemed to confirm this analogy. Three nights, which were completely clouded, left me of this opinion. The 22d August being again fine, I persevered in observing from nine o'clock at night to four o'clock in the morning, the slightest variation which a jet directed towards the sun ex hibited, and I think I have discovered its true na ture. During the night of the 25th to the 26th, having been able to repeat the same observations on another jet, which I again saw the evening of the same day, I will relate briefly the true expla nation of the phenomena. The nucleus of the comet emits, in the direction of the sun, a vaporous jet, from which there appears to proceed particles of cometary matter, in the same way as a jet of steam escapes from a machine. This preserves during a certain time a rectilinear form, which seem to in dicate a considerable force of projection emanating from the nucleus. Soon after it curves slightly and presents the appearance of an arched cone, exhibit ing a good deal of analogy to a cornucopia, such as they are usually represented. At this moment the gaseous particles accumulate at the extremity of the jet nearest the sun in the form of rounded ,clouds, and this appearance seems to indicate that at this distance from the nucleus the force of projection is subdued by some resistance opposed to it. Some hours later this luminous jet assumes a diffuse aspect, and shows that the emission from the nucleus has ceased to continue in this direction. At the moment that it begins to change, and in an angle inclined 30 deg. towards the east, one perceives the first traces of a new ray, whose development pre sents the same phases as the preceding one. Six teen hours later one observes a new ray in the di rection of the first tract seen the night before, and this last continuing to change in this interval of time, appears dispersed in the hemispherical enve lope, like a fog, hardly preserving traces of its ori ginal form and direction. In these successive trans formations the new ray presents afterwards the same appearance as the one parallel to the radius vector. From the time of the perihelium passage of the comet jet which nearly corresponded with the radius vector inclined by degrees to the west ward to that point in which the other ray was found on the 30th August, precisely in the direc tion opposed to the tail of the comet." AN ACCOUNT OF 7HE LA7E BALLOON ASCENT AT TVOLVEI?HAMPTON. MR. GLAISHER'S OBSERVATIONS. On the earth at lh. 3m. the temperature of the air was 59 deg., at the height of one mile it was 39 deg., and shortly afterwards we entered a cloud of about 1,100 feet in thickness, in which the tempe rature of the air fell to 361 deg., and the wet bulb thermometer read the same, showing that the air here was saturated with moisture. On emerging from the cloud at lh. 17m. we came into a flood of light, with a beautiful blue sky, without a cloud above us, and a magnificent sea of cloud below, its surface being varied with endless hills, hillocks, mountain chains, and many snow white masses ris ing from it. I here tried to take a view with the camera, but we were rising with too great rapidity, and going round and round too quickly to enable me to do so; the flood of light, however, was so great, that all I should have needed would have been a momentary exposure, as Dr_ Hill - Norris had kindly furnished me with extremely sensitive dry plates for the purpose. When we reached two miles in height, at lh. 21m., the temperature had fallen to the freezing point. We were three miles high at lh. 28m., with a temperature of 18 deg. ; at lh. 39m. we had reached four miles, and the temperature was 8 deg. ; in ten minutes more we had reached the fifth mile, and the temperature had passed below zero, and then read minus 2 deg., and at this point no dew was ob served on Regnault's Hygrometer when cooled down to minus 30 deg. Up to this time I had taken the observations with comfort. I had experienced no difficulty in breathing, whilst Mr. Coxwell, in consequence of the necessary exertions he had to make, had breathed with difficulty for some time. At lh. 51m. the barometer reading was 11.05 inches, but which requires a subtractive correction of 0.25 inch, as found by comparison with Lord Wrottesley's standard barometer just before start ing, both by his lordship and myself, which would reduce it to 10.8 inches, or at a height of about 51- miles. 1 read the dry bulb thermometer as minus 5 deg. ; in endeavouring to read the wet bulb I could not see the column of mercury. I rubbed my eyes, then took a lens and also failed. I then tried to read the other instruments, and found I could not do so, nor see the hands of the watch. I asked Mr. Coxwell to help me, and he said ho must go into the ring, and he would when he came down. I endeavoured to reach some brandy which was lying on the table, at the distance of about a foot from my hand, and found myself unable to do so. My sight became more dim. I looked at the barometer, and saw it between 10 and 11 inches, and tried to record it, but was unable to write. I then saw it at 10 inches, still decreasing fast, and just noted it in my book; its true reading therefore at this time was about 91in., implying a height of 51 miles, as a change of lin. in the read ing of the barometer at this elevation takes place on a change of a height of 2,500 ft. I felt I was losing all power, and endeavoured to rouse myself by struggling and shaking. I attempted to speak, and found I had lost the power. I attempted to look at the barometer again ; my head fell on one side. I struggled and got it right, and it fell on the other, and finally backwards. My arm, which had been resting on the table, fell down by my side. I sa w Mr. Coxwell dimly in the ',ring ; it becam e more misty, misty, and finally dark, and I sank uneonscio as in sleep. This must have been abo ut lh. 54m. 1 ; q the tempe then heard Mr. Coxwell say, " What -„ Be! I could rature ? Take an observation; now try neither see, move, nor speak. heard him speak I o t b h s e e n r vation. Now, do more emphatically, "Take an my eyes, saw the try," I shortly afterwards open ed ivery dimly, and soon instruments and Mr. Coxwel saw clearly, and said to died,Coxwll, " I have been You have, and I insensible ;" quickly, and r. Coxwell said and he rep m nearly." I recovere d f my hands, give m —e som e cc I h ave lost the o His hands brandy to bat he them. black. I saw still t he temperature was Were nearly below zero, and the barometer reading eleven inch es , b u t in creasing qui4 l y J resumed my obseryations at 2h. 7m., recording the barometer reading 11.53 in. and the temperature minus 2. I then found that the water in the vessel supplying the wet-bulb thermometer, which I had by frequent disturbances kept from freezing, was one mass of ice. Mr. Cox well then told me that whilst in the ring he felt it piercingly cold, that hoar frost was all round the neck of the balloon, and on attempting to leave the ring he found his hands frozen, and ho got down how he could ; that he found me motionless, with a quiet and placid expression on the countenance ; he spoke to me without eliciting a reply, and found I was insensible. He said he felt insensibility was coming over himself, that he became anxious to open the valve, that his hands failed him, and that he seized the line between his teeth and pulled the valve open until the balloon took a turn downwards, This act is quite characteristic of Mr. Coxwell. I have never yet seen him without a ready means of meeting every difficulty as it has arisen, with a cool self-possession that has always left my mind per fectly easy, and given to me every confidence in his judgment in the management of so large a balloon. On asking Mr. Coxwell whether he had noticed the temperatnre, he said he could not, as the faces of the instrument were all towards me ; but that he had noticed that the centre of the aneroid barometer, its blue hand, and a rope attached to the car, were in the same straight line; if so, the reading must have been between seven and eight inches. A height of six miles and a half corresponds to eight inches. A delicate self-registering minim thermometer read minus 12 degrees, but unfortunately I did not read it till I was out of the car, and I cannot say that its index was not disturbed on descending. When the temperature rose to 17 deg. it was re marked as warm, and 24 deg. as very warm. The temperature gradually and constantly in creased to 57 deg. on reaching the ground. It was remarked that the sand was warm to the hand, and steamed on being discharged. Six pigeons were taken np—one was thrown out at the height of three miles, it extended its wings and dropped as a piece of paper; a second at four miles flew vigorously round and round, apparently taking a great dip each time. A third was thrown out between four and five miles, and it fell downwards A fourth was thrown out at four miles when de scending ; it flew in a circle, and shortly alighted on the balloon. The two remaining pigeons were brought down to the ground. One was found dead, and the other, a " carrier," had attached to its neck a note. It would not, however, leave, and when cast off the finger returned to the hand. After a quarter of an hour it began to peck a piece of ribbon by which its neck was encircled, and it was then jerked off the finger, and it flew with some vigour finally towards Wolverhampton. Not one, however, had returned when I left on the afternoon of the 6th. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Proud, the engineer of the gas works, for the production of gas of such a small specific gravity. It would seem from these facts that five miles is very nearly the limit of human existence. It is possible, as the effect of each high ascent upon my self has been different, that in another I might be able to go higher; and it is possible that some per sons may be able to exist with less air and bear a greater degree of cold, but still I think prudence would say to all, whenever the barometer reading falls as low as eleven inches, open the valve at onee, the increased information to be attained is not com mensurate with the increased risk. September 9. JAMES GLAISHEIt.. STATE OF MADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 9.—So far as yarns are con cerned we have a dead pause in this market to-day, and there has been no inclination manifested either on the part of speculators or the buyers for legiti mate trade to operate. The market is remarkably firm. Neither spinners nor holders of yarn show any disposition to make the slightest concession in prices; or, if they do, it is to such a slight extent as utterly to fail in tempting either speculators or the trade to purchase. Both buyers and sellers seem equally disposed to rest for awhile, and per haps after operations of such magnitude as those of the last few weeks this was only to be expected. The question as to the stock of cotton in Liverpool naturally engages a good deal of attention, some people estimating the quantity still on hand at 100,000 to 150,000 bales ; but the question is one which does not much affect this market, though it may be to some extent accountable for the very quiet state of the trade as compared with last week. For cloth as well as yarn the demand has fallen off almost entirely. Merchants are doing nothing at all. The business continues, as last week, to be entirely in the hands of speculators, but even they have paused. They are taking lots wherever they can find them at lower prices, and the market for most kinds of cloth is at least 6d. per piece under the rates of last Tuesday. In some cases, probably, rather more, for persons de sirous of selling. Few, however, manifest anxiety to sell. The stocks of cloth in first hands are so light and the production is so limited that sellers generally are much firmer than might be expected from the amount of business doing. The master spinners and manufacturers have been accused, rightly or wrongly, of apathy as to our future sup ply of cotton, and of holding aloof too much from the various schemes which have been set afloat for growing and procuring cotton from new fields of cultivation. It is, therefore, gratifying to find that the working classes are directing their atten tion to this question. A Working Men's Cotton Sup ply Association is in course of formation,w ith its head quarters in Manchester, and committees are being organised in the various towns of Lancashire. 0 _!, soon as this organisation is in a sufficient state °,l forwardness, probably about the end of October/ it • M is proposed to have a great demonstrations on s m. al chester with a view to fairly enlisting tl: puyblic d the i r pathies of the factory operatives an - o f r pro generally in the movement. A part e to the utmost gramme is to promote and encourag both ; g a for cot of their power joint-stock compob e- , n forwarding ton-growing, and for procuring pr esent grown, p resent ! supposed to cotton from countries where:: companies, not only work but where the facilities are P in - vited to take shares, be inadequate. In thesetcool: ing men themselves are d the small retail tradesmen the ewooprke r i a n t g iv_ m e :c s ni : i dt h h g t t i l m .P e towns whose welfare but their employers, enuring of the various mande tu pcted and linked with that of cotton trade. A deputation already had an interview is so intimately con he on this subject, a soh do em na o - . rt v have organising theirt h e m and that with Mr. Baz ie l.' h sc hemes already before ng • the public, with gtieonntAn'oloefmxtasne os aid of increasing the supply of cotton, there are s e v e n w hose even w hose shares have already been fixed on a sufficiently low scale to admit of means even so hum ble as those working men can afford to aid in their object. The first of these in the field was the British Cotton Company, who propose their energies to th e growt h of cotton ni t in o direct Jamaica, Natal, and Queensland, and whose shares are only £1 each. The next was the Manchester Cotton Company, who issued their shares at £lOO, but sub sequently reduced them to £2O, and then to £lO. This company has already taken steps for procur ing and packing cotton in India, as might be seen by the proceedings at a recent meeting. Another company, the Jamaica Cotton Company, with £lO shares, have also commenced opera tions. Another is the East India Cotton Agency, with £lO shares ; and, besides these, there are the Western Australia, with £5 shares, the Queensland, with £lO shares, and the Algerian Cotton Company, with £5 shares. These associa tions alone, if their shares were all taken, ought to give a considerable impetus to the future supply of the staple of our manufactures without going fur ther. But, no doubt, the wol.king eke out their object in their own way, and aibitthis 11 will be looked to with considerable int ever may be the result. day LEEDS, ha7e s 9 h t o h w . — n Tmhoer more animation n im m arkets at i i o n n t t h h e an cloth-h thoseoi day se'nnight, and a larger bulk of cloth changed hands. Various fabrics for overcoats and strong cloths for winter wear were in demand. There was also mole done than of late in ordinary cloths and unions. The latter, if of good quality and make, command an advance in price. Cotton yarns are almost double the price they were a few months ago. The use of "shoddy "—that is, of old woollen goods torn up and made into something like wool cgain—has long been common in this district for many kinds of woollen goods; and Dow, it is said, cotton shoddy is in the process of manufacture and use, and that, as a consequence, cotton rags are now sought with avidity, and are selling at grew ly ad vanced prices. Cotton shoddy, whether used alone or intermixed with portions of new cotton, can be used for only the coarser kinds of yarn, and to what extent it is perhaps too sbon to speculate. ROCHDALE, Bth. —The flannel-market has been active to-day, and a good deal of business has been done for both immediate and future delivery, and for both ordinary flannels and fancy goods. Alto gether the trado wears an improved aspect, and manufacturers are well employed. There is an in crease in the demand for Yorkshire goods. Prices of all ki n d s of goods are very firm. Wools, too, keep up in price, and some kinds are selling for more money than last week's quotations. CRINOLINE CASUALTIES. The country papers continue to record serious disasters arising from the present fashion in f ema l e attire. The Sussex Express, for example, reports an in quest held last Sunday at New Shoreham, by Mr. Gell, on the body of Harriet Leopard. Her son, a boy of ten, said that the deceased was about 33 years of age. She was standing with her back to wards a small wood fire, when her clothes ignited. He tried to put it out by squeezing and knocking them with a stick. She screamed, e. a man named Tapner came along and tried to quench the flames, but was unable to do so. He went for as sistance, and in the meantime the deceased ran out into the road. She wore a cotton gown, with a cane crinoline, and when her dress caught fire she was passing to get to a table. Edward Tapner, coal merchant, of New Shore ham, deposed that as he was passing the house of the deceased he heard some children cry, and went tolsee what was the matter. He threw his arms around the deceased and tried to stop the flames, but she ran by him into the street. Mr. Stedman (a neighbour) got an old sack and tried to extin guish the flames. They got her back towards her own house, and she then fell down on the pave ment, where with assistance they put out the fire. She cried, "For mercy's sake put me out! put me out !" Her dress was nearly burnt to ashes. Wit ness saw part of a steel hoop in the road. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The Dunfermline Press gives an account of a somewhat less melancholy catastrophe :—" On Fri day morning, a man walking along Canmore-street, while passing a lady sporting a well developed crinoline, suddenly found himself entangled in. the meshes of this article of dress, and next moment was floundering in the gutter. In the fall his head struck the copestone of the pavement, and sustained rather a severe injury. The lady, however, seexned to think herself most aggrieved of the two, and loudly bewailed the destruction of her dress, to the great amusement of the on-lookers. A Manchester paper says :—" One day last week the servant of Mr. Barfoot, of Boarhunt Hambledon, had occasion to go on an errand, and wishing to make as grand a display as possible, she dressed herself in her new shawl and hoops. On returning home she crossed a meadow adjoining the river, where there was some rail fencing to o,imb over. She, of course, could not think of that, so she made an attempt to get over the hatch, when her hoops became entangled, and in endeavouring to extricate them, she fell backwards into the mill pond, which happem:d to be just full. When she arose to the surface she endeavoured to scramble out, but fell backwards once more into the water, and then seizing hold of the hatch she began calling for aid from the millers. The apprentice, happcm ing to be near, went and landed poor Sarah on terra firma, thoroughly drenched, and not a little frightened." 7HE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. PrxmouTn, Saturday.—lt will be recollected that some months since, at the instance of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, the Lords of the Admiralty ordered the paddle wheel steam surveying -vessel Porcupine, 3, to be prepared for sounding that portion of the bed of the ocean, near Ire land, on which the electric cable, laid by Sir Charles Bright, is supposed to have broken. Officers of experience were ap pointed to undertake this important duty, and an efficient crew was selected from the surveying-ship Fisgard, 42, at Woolwich. The Porcupine was supplied with ample sound ing machines, including those of the Bulldog pattern, which bring up some of the bottom each time they are used, and with a donkey steam-engine on deck for hauling theme on board. The Porcupine left Plymouth for the scene of her labours on the 22d of June, arrived at Galway on the 9th of July, and departed therefrom on the 21st. She pro ceeded to what is termed the Cliff, about 200 miles west of Galway, and during her operations there experienced a heavy gale of wind, which car ried away her rudder head. 500 and o n the 6th of A ugus t sa il e d The Porcupine put back to G alway on the 26th of Jul y , f h e ad r R h e e e t. k rudder lb an somerepaired, miles north-w es t o f D onega l Bay, where she arrived on the 14th, and after remainin g andt w o daysdeparted went on the reached on the 30th. After staying till th e 3d inst., she returned to Plymouth. One of th e o bj e cts of visiting the cli ff was to ascertain the exact nature of itst all within tance from a of into liilbbe s Harbour, D onega l, f or f ue l, for Queen s t own , w hi c h was 24th g1 declivity, cons idered to be above 1,200 fathoms i n eig h t to a depth of hat I,7 dist h 50 fathoms. It is depth stated o fficers by sounding crossways have also dis covered what the seamen t erm a " gap, " th roug h w hi c h a miles,tat the e or ora s s f wire , could be laid with less risk than where Sir Charles.' wire was laid. They also discovered a steeper cliff, which the y have named the Porcupine Rock. Some of the sound ings extended to a depth of 2,500 fathoms. The visit of the steamer to Rockall on the 14th of August seems to have been prompted by a desire on the part of the Lords of the Admi ralty to be able to judge by a knowledge of its depth and character of the expediency of dropping a cable across this bank, for the purpose of connecting Ireland with Iceland and America. On the ridge of the bank soundings varied from 90 to 160 fathoms ; fish were most abundant ; the bottom consisted of mud and sand. It is reported to be the opinion of several of the officers on board the Porcupine that a lino of communication which can be e d s ir ta e b et li a sh cr e e d aa wLth e o A ut tla th n e tie ne wi ce l s l s b it e y m of u s c o h l m on o g re a lik wi e r l e y as to suc ceed.tha A system of comparatively short l eng th s can be t re paired with less difficulty .is g r a b p e h l i i e e v s e e d i e that t ce there with is the h n e o incase m pr e e a s n s e n o e t f f i t l n r i j m a n a i r tid i t teixntge besides nat message e l 1 i f a a t a eahlge it- rapidly through a great length of wire. One word is said to overtake another, and it is averred that the force re quisite to be exerted by the batteries for sending the fluid so great a distance must involve injury to the wire by the necessary intensity of the electric spark. The diagrams, returns, and reports from the officers engaged on board the Porcupine leave this afternoon for Whitehall for the consideration in the first place of the Lords of the Admiralty, after which communication will be made by their lordships to the directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The vessel is now at Keyham steamyard, where she will disembark her sounding gear and machinery, and re-ship the deck-house, or office, displaced for the purposes of her recent duty. She will probably leave on Wednesday for Woolwich. A CHAPEL IN DANGER.—Yesterday, at a few minutes before 10 a.m., it was discovered that a fire had broken out in the basement of Barbican Chapel, near Alders gate-street, in the tenure of Messrs. Beechy and Co., and used as wine and beer stores. Owing to the number of packages in the place the fire extended with great fury, and at one time threatened the entire destruction of the chapel, The tire could not be extinguished until the basement was nearly burned out, and the flooring of the chapel much injured. The origin of the fire is unknown, and nothing could be gleaned as to the insurance.
